Gelato Village cools off downtown Fonthill BY TINA CHIVERS VOICE Staff When it comes to making gelato, Rocco Spano certainly knows the scoop. Spano, a Welland resident, is opening his new store, Gelato Village at 1417-1419 Pelham Street, downtown Fonthill. People will be able to purchase Spano’s gelato at Summerfest, where he’ll be set up to serve his treats alongside the other food vendors. Then, his shop will officially open at the Pelham Street location on Sunday, July 24. Spano became interested in gelato when he travelled to Italy, particularly Bologna. “That’s where I discov-
ered the true art of making gelato,” he says. Spano spent a good deal of time in Bologna, immersed in the Italian culture, and he even attended “Gelato University”, (a school in Bologna, Italy, which teaches aspiring entrepreneurs everything they need to know about making gelato) where he took a course and learned how to make the creamy treat from some of the world’s greatest gelato masters. “Gelato is not meant to be eaten; it’s meant to be enjoyed,” says Spano. “In Italy, people walk to the gelaterias, gather to-
gether, talk and enjoy the food.” Everything about the 27year-old’s shop is meant to mimic an Italian gelateria. Spano’s cousin, Ivan Laface, is an Italian architect; Laface designed the shop. Laface points out all of the intricate details in the shop’s design, including how the cabinets complement one another, and he explains the use of colour. “All of the colours are earth tones; we used only natural colours” says Laface. “And it’s very upscale.” Spano says that, when they designed the shop, it was important to incorpo-
rate an open concept. “I want people to be able to see us working, making the food,” he says. “I wanted to tie in the idea of freshness with the open concept design. Speaking of freshness, Spano’s gelato is a prime example. “I use only natural products; nothing is processed or powder-based,” say Spano. “I use fresh fruit, real cheese and wine, hormone-free milk, Belgian chocolate and Tahitian vanilla beans.” Spano says that even some of his ingredients are Italian-imported. “My hazelnuts come from the Piemonte region in Italy, and my pistachios come from Sicily.” Moreover, Laface has incorporated Italian-imported items to stock the shop’s interior, such as display cases from Pesaro and an espresso maker from Milan. “I’m trying to bring gelato culture into the Niagara region,” says Spano. “I
(Left to right) Rocco Spano, owner of Gelato Village, poses with his cousin and Gelato Village architect, Ivan Laface. Tina Chivers/Voice Photo chose Fonthill because it has a sense of community similar to what you’d find in a small town in Italy.” Gelato Village will carry several flavours of gelato, and will also stock creamfilled pastries. Spano says he can make all-occasion cakes and even specialty flavours. “Anything you can imagine, we can do it,” he says. “We’re happy to try new ideas and flavours; it
makes us better too.” Asked whether he feels that winter will put a freeze on his sales. Spano says he’s confident that people will desire his gelato year-round. “People can come in and buy the gelato in a larger container such as a pint or quart—or even larger if they desire.” he says. “I also plan to branch out into the catering and wholesale industries.”

The Niagara Regional Summer Swim League is made up of recreational summer swim teams from across Niagara. Serving as an introduction to competitive swimming, all meets and practices emphasize having fun and team spirit. Throughout the summer each team takes a turn at hosting a swim meet at their pool which two to three other teams attend. This year Pelham’s swim meet at Marlene Stewart Streit Park will take place on July 23, the same day as Pelham Summerfest. The Niagara Regional Summer Swim
League meet ends at noon—just in time for those attending the swim to venture from the pool to downtown Fonthill to explore all that Pelham Summerfest has to offer. Thanks to the generosity of local sponsor Royal Lepage Niagara Real Estate Centre, all swimmers will be provided with a voucher redeemable for lunch from a Pelham Summerfest food vendor.

Food and drink to be served on the street Enjoy local food and drink—on the street Downtown Fonthill’s grand re-opening street party will be one of the first festivals in Ontario to enjoy the freedom of recent changes to LCBO legislation. Attendees will be able to purchase alcoholic beverages at any licensed establishment on the street or at the festival beer corral and sip on it as they stroll the festival grounds. “Hopefully this will be a great boon for local restaurants who have suffered the frustration of reduced revenues caused by the inconvenience of construction blocked access to their places of business,” says Cathy Berkhout-Bosse, promotions manager, Summerfest committee. Residents and visitors alike are invited to experience the diversity of downtown Fonthill’s unique local businesses as they showcase their offerings with sidewalk cafe dining, product demonstrations, exciting displays and shopping specials “The selection of street food is extensive. From BBQ Lamb Spedini to freshly shucked oysters, and ball park franks to
gelato, the street food at Pelham Summerfest is sure to please everyone’s palate,” says BerkhoutBosse. Participating food vendors include: Indulgence, Klager’s Meats, Mossimo’s, Cafe on Main, Gelato Village, White Meadows Farms, Chez Fromage, Zest Restaurant, Country Boys Mobile Food Services, My Place Bar & Grill, Shriner’s Creek Kettle Corn, Howell Family Pumpkin Farm, Big Bee Convenience Store, M Barber Studio and Fonthill Sobeys. “The Beer Corral at Pelham Summerfest features a one-of–kind design that will add an incredible ‘wow factor’ to the event,” says Berkhout-Bosse. Local firm, Forestgreen Creations has partnered with Fonthill Lumber to build a shaded seated area that is composed of garden obelisks made from roof trusses. All parts of the corral will be sold to the highest bidder via silent auction throughout the day with all proceeds to be donated back to the Festival Committee.

With cherries, try thinking outside the box Every day, the dogs and I walk through the cherry and apple orchards behind our house and visit the ravines that cut across east to west with their majestic oaks, maples, and nut trees. It’s a never-failing source of pleasure to be surrounded by trees, whether cultivated for crops or natural; and the dogs and I never take our walk without silently tipping our virtual caps to Linda Allison, and Leo and Dan DeVries, and Lee and Brenda Johnson, whose orchards we are so lucky to have for our walks. Those of us not involved in farming can only partly appreciate the risk and work it takes to bring a crop to market. We see the early morning and late evening mowing and cultivating and spray-
ing, and watch the frenzy of harvest with only a dim idea of the amount of labour and nail-biting that goes on behind the scenes. This year, I notice that the sour cherry crop is light compared to other years. When I mention this to Linda, the real weight of my observation becomes clear: depending on the micro-climate within Pelham, the cherry crop is down from 50 per cent to more than 80 per cent! Imagine that you put in the same amount of work, invested the same amount of money in your business or job, and then at the end of the year had your pay reduced by half to three quarters. The culprit this year was the cool, damp spring. The bees that the farmers
rented from beekeepers took one look outside their hives and decided to stay in and play cards or knit sweaters rather than go out and pollinate the trees. In our area, south of Highway 20, the bees got maybe two days of work in during the two weeks for which they were hired. The result is clear to see on the trees now: fewer sour cherries hanging from the branches, with some trees having almost no fruit at all. Most of Niagara’s sour cherry crop goes to Michigan for processing and shows up back on our supermarket shelves and freezers as pie filling, and no wonder because sour cherries make pie that is nothing less than divine. Of course, getting the cherries when they are
fresh and unprocessed improves the flavour, and cherries freeze very well, so it’s a good idea to stock up at this time of year for cherry pie all year long. If you aren’t a confident pie baker, or would rather defer to the talents and expertise of truly accomplished pie bakers, I suggest you take in the Talent Night Auction at Pelham Community Church on Canboro Road. Cherry pies and contracts to bake cherry pies are up for bids, and if you can outbid the church’s regulars who are in the know, you will experience the absolute pinnacle of the baker’s art, created by people with generations of pie baking behind them. But sour cherries aren’t only about pie. How about a Sour Cherry Cab-
ernet Gastrique (a cherry and wine reduction) to accompany game? The recipe comes from Michael and Anna Olsons’ Inn on the Twenty Coook book and is simple to make and simply delicious with duck. Put 1 1/2 Cups of cabernet wine, 1 1/2 Cups of red wine vinegar, 2 Cups of sugar, and 1 Cup of sour cherries into a saucepan and simmer until the sauce is reduced by 2/3 and coats the back of a spoon. The brilliant dark red colour adds accent to the plate, and the taste sets the meat up perfectly. Another delicious way to serve sour cherries is as a salsa to accompany lighter meats like pork. This recipe comes from June’s Bon Appetit. Simply combine 1/2 Cup of chopped

Never relax guard around children in a pool I would like to share a little story with you. It’s about fast reaction times, and always keeping an eye out. My wife and I were at a backyard pool party/BBQ with our three children. Of course there were lots of kids in the pool, and many adults around. It was an in-ground pool with both a shallow end and a deep end. We were sitting around the pool, enjoying the sun and socializing, and watching the kids play in the water. Eventually, all the girls got pulled off to the side to do a raffle, and most of the men were involved (except for a couple of us). I had stepped off to the side to change our 18-month-old’s diaper. At that time, a gentleman that was sitting watching the kids got called off to the side to join the raffle, which left one person sitting on the deck (and she was watching her own three children around a table eating). I remember the gentleman enquiring about who would be responsible for watching

the kids in the pool. Someone’s response was “the bigger children will watch the little children in the pool”. The gentleman was very hesitant to go but wasn’t really given a choice. Not even five minutes later, just by a complete stroke of luck, my daughter had called out to Mommy while I was changing her, and so my spouse had come over to see what was going on. As we were talking, I had my head down, and my spouse had looked up just at the perfect time to spot a child in the pool struggling in the deep end. As fast as her saying “oh, no” I had looked up to see the little boy sinking like a brick to the bottom of the pool. My spouse darted to the pool, jumped in and pulled the little boy out to safety. He was very shaken up and hadn’t taken in enough water at that point to need CPR, and he turned out to be okay. The boy was supposed to be wearing a life jacket, and he was supposed to stay in the shallow

Attendees will celebrate Summerfest in a revitalized downtown Fonthill BY DAVE AUGUSTYN Mayor of Pelham
As the construction nears completion, the celebration is about to begin. Last week saw not only the installation of a crosswalk at Churc Hill, but also the planting of many of the trees in downtown Fonthill. This week, the top layer of asphalt and most of the benches, gardens, and trees are to be finished south of Regional Road #20. And, the clock – donated by Communities In Bloom – will be installed. You will recall that the pre-construction work – burying of the hydro lines and other utilities – began last spring. Construction began in earnest last July as the street from College to Regional Road #20 was dug up for new water and sewer lines. That work took until December, when the contractor poured curbs and added layer of asphalt. Major work on the Northern side of Regional Road #20 to Broad Street began this spring. The contrac-
tor completed the underground work and is finishing the curbs, sidewalks, pavers, and other “streetscaping” features. The major final, but much-needed piece to be completed is the traffic signal at #20 and Pelham Street. The Region will now upgrade the traffic signals and the contractor will rework the corner to be safer and better for pedestrians. You will recall that the Federal and Provincial government contributed two-thirds of the construction costs. The Town is also using “Investing in Ontario” funding from the Provincial Government to pay for most of the costs for burying the utilities. Admittedly, this construction has been very difficult for many downtown Fonthill businesses. That’s why I am so pleased that many business owners, the Town, members of service clubs and other residents have teamed up to host Summerfest this Saturday. Summerfest – to be held from noon to midnight on July 23 – will celebrate the end of construction and the
Field trip leads to a quandry of quarries BY BRIAN BATY Regional Councillor As a Commissioner on the Niagara Escarpment Commission, I review with my colleagues a wide range of reports and papers dealing with proposed or existing modifications to the Niagara Escarpment. Some of the most complex reports deal with the establishment or expansion of quarries on the escarpment. Ontario requires aggregate in large quantity for the various roadworks and building projects underway or anticipated in the future. While quarries are necessary for development, the question arises as to whether or not the Niagara Escarpment needs to be the best source of that material. To better understand this issue I undertook a field trip last week to the Collingwood area to visit our NEC Thornbury office and to attend a public open house at Walker Aggregates Inc. Duntroon Quarry. The Niagara Escarpment Commission has a main office in Georgetown where monthly meetings of the NEC take place and a field office in Thornbury to serve the Dufferin, Grey and Bruce Counties. The office is staffed by a senior planner, three additional planners and an administrative assistant. Housed in a former apple juice facility, the offices are spartan but provide sufficient space for the large volumes of records and maps. The staff are finalizing reports with respect to a proposed expansion of the Duntroon Quarry with a final hearing decision expected within the next few months. I am told that the Niagara Escarpment Plan allows for quarries but staff sometimes have concerns that arise because existing quarries present potential negative
impacts to the environment and proposed expansions can accelerate those concerns. This latest quarry expansion proposal has gone on for months and the legal and staffing resources have been considerable. The next day I attended an open house at the Duntroon Quarry itself. Three busloads of visitors took a tour through the quarry and watched a blast demonstration on the last section of limestone in the quarry. The quarry is about 100 acres in size, has operated since 1968 and has been owned by Walkers since 1995. The Amabel formation is being extracted to provide concrete stone and high quality manufactured sands. Limestone products range from large armour stone (5+ tones) to limestone fines. When quarry extraction ends next year, the site will be allowed to fill with water to provide recreational and natural activities on the site. As the GPS guided me to the site I passed numerous signs and billboards calling for “Save our Prime Farmlands”, “Save our Water”, “Stop the Quarry” and “Stop the Mega-quarry” (referring to a proposed 2,000 acre quarry near Orangeville.) The field trip was valuable and provided some insights to assist in the further deliberations on quarry expansions in Ontario. This experience may prove to be of value should there be future proposals for quarry expansions in the Fonthill Kame area for the sand and gravel resources that exist in our area. Brian Baty is a Niagara Regional Councillor for the Town of Pelham and a Commisioner on the Niagara Escarpment Commission. brian.baty@niagararegion.ca.

Mystic Drumz performed at the Old Pelham Town Hall on Tuesday, July 12, as part of the Pelham Library’s summer program schedule. The show was like a world music safari adventure that took the children around the globe, in search of amazing instruments and sounds. Participants travelled to African jungles, South American rainforests and the Great Wall of China to discover clues from animal friends (frog and dolphin sounding instruments), and, through the presentation, the group learned about ecology. /Special to the Voice

This week in baseball; here’s the skinny The Pelham Star Tile Mosquito Knights took part in the Welland Mosquito House League Tournament this past week. First, the Knights met the Welland A’s. The Knights took command of the game from the 1st inning. Carter Nicholas and Rowan McLellan were defensive machines, each taking out 4 runners. Dan Durkin hit a home run and followed up by making an unassisted double play. Ayrton Ashick was solid defensively and hit both a triple and double. Adam Bisson and Tim Anderson also hit triples and Andrew Avolio, Nicholas, McLellan and Aidan Nichols showed strong and consistent hitting in the opening victory. The next
morning, the Knights met the Welland Red Sox and again, took early control of the game. The defensive highlight of the game was when catcher, Aidan Longo caught a pop-up foul ball behind the plate and made a perfect throw to Rowan McLellan at 2nd base for the double play. Offensively, McLellan closed the 1st inning with a spectacular 2RBI home run and later, added a double. Not to be undone, Andrew Avolio connected for his first home run of the season in the 3rd and followed up with 2 doubles. Carter Nicholas and Adam Bisson hit triples and Dan Durkin hit a pair of doubles in the victory. Game 3 pitted the Knights against the St. Catharines
Red Sox. The hard-hitting Red Sox kept the outfielders busy, especially Rowan McLellan, Andrew Avolio and Ben Klassen. McLellan and Klassen each caught a pop-up deep in the outfield, and Dan Durkin picked up a couple and Carter Nicholas another from the infield. The Red Sox’s stingy defence limited the Knights’ hitting game, but they managed 10 runs in the loss highlighted by triples from Durkin and Tim Anderson and doubles by Adam Bisson and Nicholas Grant. The Knights found themselves in 3rd place and playing in the consolation final - a rematch with the Welland A’s. The A’s took an early lead, but the teams were tied at the
end of the 3rd inning and the Knights never looked back. Carter Nicholas, Ayrton Ashick and Rowan McLellan led the defence playing a role in 8 of the 10 outs on the field including a double play by Pitcher, Carter Nicholas to Dan Durkin at 1st base, and Catcher, Ashick’s exciting out at home plate to end the top of the 5th inning. Adam Bisson and Nicholas Grant also tagged out 2 of the A’s runners. The entire line up was strong at the plate. Hitting highlights include triples by Ashick and Durkin and a pair of doubles by both Bisson and Aidan Longo. The Volcano Pizzeria Pelham Panther Mosquito Rep team attended their
2nd tournament on the Canada Day weekend, and advanced to the Championship round. Tyler and Evan Dobbie turned a triple play, but Pelham lost a hard fought battle to the Hamilton Cardinals. On July 7th, the Pelham Panthers played their 3rd tournament in Hamilton, defeating Bloordale and Waterdown, but losing to Barrie in the Semi-Finals. The Giant Tiger Rookie Ball team had great plays by Jiunn Roy to get 2 outs in the 2nd inning, and good hitting from Blake Bishop, Iain Macfarlane, James Bacon and Liam Cordiner, but came up on the short end of a 17-10 score against the Welland Rangers.

U9 Meridian Credit Union, Fonthill Dental, Pelham Panthers team plays Welland On Thursday July 14th the U9 Meridian Credit Union, Fonthill Dental, Pelham Panthers team played against Welland. It was to be the third time the teams played each other, results so far had been a tie and a loss. The boys were looking to even up the score. The players readied themselves as the whistle blew with Antonio Deschellis, Mason Sterr and Nicholas Longo working defence. Starting up front was Harmon Narbonne, Harrison Doan and Damien Pullar with David Greczowski in goal. In the beginning the teams appeared even. Breaking through the defensive line Welland took a shot on goal, David deflected it with his fists sending the ball up and over the net. The next line change saw even more play with Mathew Diraddo, Ryan Belovari, Drew Colangelo , and Elijah Taylor. With a great pass from Mathew to Damien the ball was brought up the
field. Another strong pass from Harrison to Harmon saw the panthers first shot on goal. With the score still 0-0 and the ball in Pelham’s defensive zone Mason took control of the ball sending it up to Drew, turning on a dime Drew spun and with a strategic kick sent it over to Elijah. Turning into it, Elijah tried breaking through the line to take a shot, with two men on him in hot pursuit. The Panthers worked hard to keep it up the field, but when it was sent back down Antonio took a chance and used his powerful legs to drive it from half taking a shot on goal, narrowly missing. On a hand ball call, Welland had a chance to score, the boys lined up waiting, it was David who was tested while the ball sailed through everyone, leaving him to protect his net alone, and he did it once again. With a hard kick on net Welland scored, but the boys dug deep. Nicholas
Longo put himself in between Welland and the net time and time again charging the ball, making quick work of bringing it up the field. As the ball sailed forward it was Drew who took his chance at a shot on goal. With a boot from the other teams keeper the ball went back to the Welland players, Mathew aggressively went after it taking it away and sent it up. As the boys marked their men, it was Damien who worked the ball passing to Harrison. He took a shot and scored bringing the score 1-1. The game wasn’t over, the ball was rolling in the Pelham’s defensive zone when Ryan seized the opportunity going after it and winning the scrimmage sending it up again. Harrison got his foot on the ball and passed it over to Harmon, with a swift and precise strike the ball sailed past the keeper. The score ended with a win for the Pelham Panthers at 2-1.
