Fonthill photographer achieves CPA status

BY TINA CHIVERS VOICE Staff He may be young, but he’s achieved more in five years than some achieve in a lifetime.

Pelham is now home to the youngest Craftman of Photographic Arts (CPA) on record in Canada.

Earlier this month, Fonthill’s Bryan Caporicci was awarded the designation through the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC).

“As far as I know, I am the youngest photographer in all of Canada to earn the title,” says Caporicci.

In order to reach his goal, Caporicci had to earn merit points in two categories–print and service.

“I earned print points by getting accreditations and being accepted into the National Image Salon,”

he says. “I am accredited in nine categories, and I have a total of six successful acceptances into the National Image Salon.”

According to Caporicci, getting even one accreditation and one photo accepted into the National Image Salon is an honour for any photographer.

“It feels great,” says Caporicci. “And my goal is to help other photographers reach their potential.”

Caporicci managed to achieve the designation so quickly and in such a short period of time by being actively involved in his craft. He has earned service points by serving on the PPOC-Ontario, Hamilton/Niagara Branch for the past two years.

In his first year, he was a member at large, and now he is the vice-chair of the branch. In his role, he’s helped organize and run meetings, and he has spo-

ken at more than 20 seminars for the PPOC. Furthermore, he has served the industry by offering work placements to co-op students—to date, four in total.

“I’m raising the bar in my industry,” says Caporicci.

“I may be the youngest CPA in Canada, but I’m also probably the most active.”

Caporicci’s youth has not held him back.

“I’m giving seminars to photographers twice my age, and to people with 20 or 30 years’ experience, and I’m teaching them new things,” he says. “I’ve been doing this for only five years but I’ve accelerated my knowledge base in such a short time.”

Caporicci says that it’s not surprising he’s achieved so much in so little time.

“I’ve always been the driven type,” he says. “I’m

not satisfied doing the status quo.”

According to Caporicci, the PPOC sets challenging goals and standards that he can work towards achieving; it’s his way of bringing excellence to an industry that isn’t regulated.

“My clients hire me for the high-quality work I produce,” he says. “My accreditations and titles give my customers confidence that I am a qualified and skilled photographer.”

Caporicci says he has a vested interest in his clients’ satisfaction, and that he will continue to strive for the top. He is currently working on his Masters of Photographic Arts through the PPOC, which he expects to achieve by 2012.

THE VOICE of Pelham Wednesday, July 6, 2011 Page

United Way announces new campaign chair The United Way of South Niagara recently announced that Natasha Smagata will be this year’s campaign chair. Smagata speaks from experience when she talks about where funding dollars are spent, how those dollars help, and the impact it has on families in this community. Smagata is a 25-year-old mother of two girls, and a former client of a United Way funded agency. She was 21, with a four-year-old and a oneyear-old, when she first attended the Young Moms Outreach program provided through the Adolescent Family Support Services of Niagara. Since taking that first step, Smagata has completed all of her high school education, recently graduated from college,

and has earned a full-time position with the Niagara Region. Smagata has been very outspoken about her path, speaking at several United Way events about the way the organization has helped her. When she was approached to be the campaign chair, Smagata said she was honoured, but had to give it a lot of thought. Her daughters, Malary, 8, and Mataya, 5, are her number one commitment Smagata says, so she had to be sure she would have time to do it all.

“All I can do is give it my best and that’s what I’m going to do,” she says.

Angela Carter, President of the Board of Directors, remembers being very impressed with Smagata when she met the young

mom at last year’s gala.

“I remember thinking that if we could choose a person who truly exemplified the possibilities that United Way and its partner agencies could achieve, it would be her,” says Carter. “This year, when we were looking for an ambassador to lead our campaign, Natasha was the first person who came to mind. She is a true champion and we were so honoured when she accepted the invitation to help us build a stronger, healthier community. Together, we will mobilize the community and give more kids, families and individuals like Natasha a fighting chance.”

Smagata points out that her willingness to take on the role isn’t just a mat-

ter of giving back, which she feels she should do, but that she can speak from experience and let donors know not only where their money will be spent, but exactly how it helps people in this community.

“I’ve experienced what those dollars can do,” she says.

Natasha will be heading the upcoming campaign, which kicks off in September, and will be aided by community chairs in each of the communities United Way of South Niagara serves.

VIEWpoints

A look at cancer rates in the Niagara region

BY BRIAN BATY Regional Councillor Reports to standing committees at the Region of Niagara are usually varied and cross a wide spectrum of issues.

It was unusual that we had three separate reports at the last Public Health & Social Services Committee that dealt with a common theme, cancer. The reports covered the Niagara Cancer Brief 2011, ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and skin cancer prevention and a report on artificial tanning.

The Niagara Cancer Brief 2011 dispelled the perception held by some that Niagara’s cancer rates exceed provincial averages. It noted that over half of the new cancers and cancer deaths are attributable to lung, colorectal, female breast and prostrate cancers.

The death rates to cancer have been steady or decreasing over time due in part to improved screening and treatments. Most notable, more than half of new cancer cases could be prevented

with the adoption of healthy lifestyle changes such as stopping smoking, increasing physical activity and eating a healthy diet. Over the time period from 2000 to 2007 there were 19,511 newly diagnosed cases of cancer in Niagara and 9,016 deaths. A Niagara anomaly to provincial averages was a spike in prostrate cancer in 2006, but 2007 data returned to the provincial norm. The only other anomaly was that males experienced a higher rate of lung cancer in 2004 and 2007 due probably to the fact that smoking rates are higher in Niagara than the provincial average.

The report on ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and skin cancer protection served as a background for the later report on artificial tanning. UVR is commonly noted for the link to skin cancer but also can cause a number of health effects including sun burns, cataracts, premature skin aging and weakening of the immune system.

Skin cancers can include basal cell

melanoma, squamous cell melanoma and malignant melanoma. The latter is the most serious as it can spread to other organs and cause death. It is the second highest cancer in the age 15 to 34 range. While tanning does increase vitamin D in the body it is far safer to consume salmon, fortified milk or vitamin D supplements.

The report on artificial tanning led to two delegations from individuals who operate tanning salons. I responded to and visited the business of one of the presenters who informed me that there was a wide range of service providers with an equally wide range of standards. Likewise there was a wide range of practice with regard to young people under the age of 18 using tanning salons. A public health scan of Niagara indicated at least 80 tanning establishments in Niagara. While Health Canada has established guidelines, protocols and signage for tanning salons, there is no enforcement in place.

I was told that many salons that exclu-

sively have tanning beds subscribe to an association and do respect guidelines and protocols including, in many cases, the parental written approval for tanning young people under age eighteen. One in four in the age 18 to 34 year olds reported use of artificial tanning with females tanning far more than males. I was surprised to learn that a gradual exposure to tanning does not decrease the effect of the ultraviolet rays. It may lessen the likelihood of a sore sunburn but does not lessen the damage of the UVR. While we can take some comfort in knowing that the Niagara cancer rates are not generally different than the province, it seems that we still have some behavioural changes to make with regard to tanning either through sunlight or artificial tanning.

Brian Baty is a Niagara Regional Councillor for the Town of Pelham and is the co-chair of the Public Health and Social Services Committee.

Pelham Business Association has its finger on the pulse of local business BY MELISSA WELLS

It has been a busy year for the Pelham Business Association! It was our aim at the outset of the year to meet the adversity of the street construction with a positive, proactive approach. To encourage and assist our Pelham and Haist Street businesses, two special meetings were held. An information session took place at the Legion and included the construction plan and how to apply for the Community Improvement Program grants.

The second meeting was moderated by business coach, Verne Milot, to foster ideas on how the affected businesses could market themselves and encour-

age patrons to use their stores throughout the street work.

Although the construction phase has been very hard on our businesses, we have seen a growing support network form and eagerly anticipate the Pelham Summerfest celebration to mark the completion of Pelham Street!

A marketing and media forum was held at Zest Restaurant, with presentations from Giant FM, Sun Media (Pelham News and Welland Tribune) and myPelham.com.

Several members of parliament and the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses came together to form a panel of experts on the new accessibility laws that will be affecting all

In addition to our general meetings, the Pelham Business Association promotes our business community through the financial and volunteer support of various events and organizations. The Pelham Business Association has been a consistent contributor to the Fonthill Bandshell and Pelham Canada Day festivities.

This year, many of the board members are assisting with the Pelham Summerfest organization and the Pelham Business Association is a Bronze

Sponsor of the event.

The main marketing initiative this year was the “Did You Know” campaign, run through The Voice of Pelham, Pelham News, myPelham.com, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The campaign ran for twenty weeks, profiling a different business each week to debunk common myths about Pelham businesses. The three areas of focus were price, accessibility and inventory availability. Each article and video showed how Pelham businesses can indeed compete with the larger cities and boxed stores.

Christmas In Pelham saw another successful year, bringing local shoppers into the stores for their holiday purchases

large sewers. I sympathize deeply with the residents who live directly in that area; their lives have been impacted by noise, dust, and considerable inconvenience for a long time.

The second phase began in April, 2010. You will recall that the contractor paved the base layer of asphalt in the section North of Pancake Lane (to Canboro Road) in late November 2010. Work on the section South of Pancake Lane (to Welland Road) was much more complicated, again, because of the high water table and the required “dewatering.” The contractor just paved the Southern half in June.

The remaining work includes completing the

sodding, paving the topcoat of asphalt, cutting the road and installing the four raised cross-walks, assessing and fixing deficiencies, and planting trees.

I do also want you to know that Kelly Walsh, Director of Community & Infrastructure Services, assured Council at our June 27 meeting that the project was “tracking to tender”—well-within the tendered amount agreed upon by Council.

Finally, with the project “substantially complete,” I acknowledge and deeply thank all area residents – most especially those living on Haist Street – for your patience, your flexibility, and your understanding.

Haist Street is now substantially complete Like planned, the Canada Day Parade returned to the newly reconstructed Haist Street last week. It was wonderful to see the hundreds of families who gathered to celebrate Canada’s 144th Birthday on July 1st.

You will recall that, as one of Pelham’s mostused collector roads, the two kilometers of Haist Street from Canboro to Welland Road desperately required reconstruction.

The $5.7 million reconstruction included added-width for bicycles, sidewalks on both sides of the street, four raised crosswalks to calm the traffic, and a pedestrianpriority crossing signal in front of A.K. Wigg School.

The replacement of the cast iron watermains has improved drinking water quality and system resiliency. The reconstruction eliminated the potential of road washouts and helps to protect the environment by replacing the wide ditches with an underground storm water system.

It is true that the work has taken nearly 20 months to complete. Council agreed to break the project into two phases so that we could take advantage of significant Federal and Provincial infrastructure stimulus funding that stipulated a certain “start date.”

That’s why the first phase began in November 2009 and included the sanitary sewer relocation near Welland Road. The high water table delayed completion until March 2010; the contractor needed to “de-water” the area before crews could replace the

In the bottom of the first, Owen DeBruin of Lodde’s

by Isaac Stephens (pitcher) and Kaileigh Smith (first base) of Lampman’s. Top of the second saw Xavier Stephens being tagged out at home by Owen De-

Bruin of Lodde’s. In the top of the third inning, after a nice single, Kadie Baxter was tagged out at home plate by Cameron Sutcliffe of Lodde’s. Stats for Lodde: Owen DeBruin (double), Cameron Sut-

On June 30 Lampman’s Furniture versed Herb Lodde & Sons Roofing once again, this time with Lodde emerging victorious with a score of 10 to 9.

In the first inning of play, Daniel Guitard was tagged out at first by Owen DeBruin of Lodde’s. In the second, Xavier Stephens , Andrew Guitard and Gavin Hillhouse were all called out at first base due to quick thinking plays by Owen DeBruin (pitcher) and Krystyna Augustyn (first base) of Lodde.

In Pelham Soccer Club pre-squirt action, the Country Corner Market Orange Crush team has started the season strong. Offensively the team has been a powerhouse. Connor Eller, Billy Belchior, JJ Hayes, Megan Sayles and TJ Hurley have pressured opposing teams with great speed, crisp ball handling and sharp passes. Defensively, the Crush has often seemed like a brick wall.

Backstopping the de-

After back-to-back defensive meltdowns that can only be compared to that of the Canucks performance during games three and four of the Stanley Cup Finals, the Panthers U12 Boys were back in action on Thursday, June 23rd at Harold Black Park.

Playing the second place Niagara Falls Titans, the Panthers came to the pitch

determined to not have a three-peat of their previous two performances.

The skilled Niagara Falls squad dominated the first half of play pounding the Panthers Keeper, Sam Abbott-Tate with 9 shots, but were unable to score until the 25th minute, when a communication breakdown left a Titan’s striker unmarked on the back post for an easy, un-

opposed tap in.

The Panthers single first half chance for a goal came in the 30th minute with a dominant run down the right wing by Bryce Hoggard, with the ball unfortunately finishing in the secure hands of the Titan’s Keeper. The late half run seemed to waken something in the Panthers squad and they finished the last 5 minutes

strong, keeping the play to the neutral and attacking third of the field.

The second half opened with the same strong defensive play by the Panthers, reducing the number of goal scoring chances, and increasing their counter-attacking opportunities. With the Pelham mid-field awake, the Niagara Falls team found themselves on their heels, playing within their defensive third of the field considerably more, but their compact defensive system was able to reduce the Panthers attackers to minimal goal scoring opportunities.

A notable performance of the game was Kyle Hoeksma, who forced the Titan’s defence to doubleteam him on every run.

Unfortunately, Hoeksma’s efforts did not change the score line, and at the final whistle, the Panthers found themselves a goal short with a 1-0 loss to the now first place Titans.

You can next catch the Panthers in action on Thursday, June 30th at Centennial Park in Fenwick vs the third place Concord United.

Baseball team Orange Crush starts off slow, popping in goals then picks up some steam After a slow start to the season, the Pelham Star Tile Knights Mosquito Baseball team picked up steam. First they met their cross-town rivals, the Pelham Pirates. The Pirates held a 3-1 lead after the second inning, when the Knight’s defence began to come together. A nice play between pitcher, Carter Nicholas and Ben Klassen at first base brought down the first batter, and a few plays later, Andrew Avolio ended the inning with a double play at 2nd base.

The defensive play continued in the fourth. First baseman, Keegan Ingraham, charged toward the plate to scoop the ball and tag the first runner out and Carter Nicholas ended the top of the inning by catching a huge fly ball in the outfield. At the plate, Aidan Nichols brought Ayrton Ashick across the plate to bring the score within 1.

Both teams found their bats in the 5th inning scoring the maximum five runs each. The Knight’s batting was highlighted by a three RBI double by Dan Durkin, and single RBI hits by Adam Bisson and Aidan Nichols, bringing Aidan Longo, Duncan MacFarlane, Bisson, Ashick and Durkin home.

Unable to score in the sixth, the Knights lost the well-played game to the Pirates.

Two nights later, the Knights hosted Welland #1, the A’s. The game started off strongly when pitcher, Rowan McLellan, caught the first hit of the game for the out. The Knights were up by one on the scoreboard at the end of the first and kept the A’s scoreless when the top of the second ended with Carter Nicholas tagging out a runner at third.

The Knights seized control of the game earning five runs in the bottom of the second.

The A’s rallied in the fourth, but with lead-off hitter, Nicholas Grant reaching first base, followed by eight of his team-mates, the game was beyond their reach, and the Knights earned their first victory of the season.

The Knights earned their victory with good defensive play and solid hitting. Ayrton Ashick, Aidan Longo, Keegan Ingraham, Aidan Nichols, and Adam Bisson were all perfect at the plate (the second game of perfect hitting in a row for Adam Bisson!), and Dan Durkin lead in RBIs with three two RBI hits.

Over the past year the board of directors of Beacon Christian School has been reviewing operations at the two schools it operates in St. Catharines.

At a membership meeting on Thursday evening, June 16, members of the Beacon Christian School society voted to merge operations of the secondary school with Beacon’s sister school, Smithville Christian High School.

A transition plan, dealing with items such as course selection, transportation and tuition rates, has been developed and will be implemented in September 2011.

Beacon and Smithville Christian are delighted to be partnering to carry the vision of Christian education forward into a vibrant future.

“Declining enrolment is an issue for most schools,” says Smithville Christian principal Ted Harris. “We see this as the best way to position our schools to continue delivering excellent Christ-centred education and to plan for the future.”

Beacon Christian School

shares the sentiment.

“Supporters of Christian education are excited by this bold and courageous move,” says Beacon principal Darrell Gillespie. “By cooperating, we are ensuring the future vibrancy of authentic Christian education in Niagara.”

Beacon Christian School will continue to operate its K to 8 school at 300 Scott Street in St. Catharines, while the combined leadership of the secondary schools will be working on a long-term strategic plan to ensure the continued relevance and success of Christian high school education.

Both Beacon and Smithville are members of the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools, a provincewide network of independent Christian schools.

Both schools employ certified Ontario teachers, are inspected by the Ontario Ministry of Education and offer the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. For more information, contact Darrell Gillespie at (905) 937-7411 or Ted Harris, at (905) 957-3255.
