Gearing up to tour town’s blooming gardens BY TINA CHIVERS VOICE Staff Edie Basaraba is hoping for sun on July 16, and she’s not the only one. Basaraba, a Communities in Bloom committee member, owns one of the featured gardens on the annual Garden Tour. The tour is a go, rain or shine, and will take place on Saturday, July 16 from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm. Basaraba says that the gardens featured on the tour are chosen by the committee after members
receive recommendations and tour potential gardens. “The gardens are all beautiful,” says Basaraba. “We try to feature a variety of different types including large country properties and other more sedate versions.” Basaraba says that the owners will be on site, in their gardens, during the tour. “Many people have questions about gardening, so the owners are there to answer them,” she says. Moreover, Basaraba says that July is the perfect time
for the tour as there will be a lot of colour in some of the gardens. She says that the variety will showcase colourful gardens, not-so-colourful garden, gardens with ponds, and gardens with streams. Basaraba says the event draws a mixed crowd of avid gardeners, wanting to learn more and duplicate some of what they see, and those who aren’t much into gardening but who enjoy strolling through lovely gardens. “The day is all about idea and information gathering,” she says. “And it’s
just a nice day, looking at beautiful gardens. Tickets cost $10 and can be purchased at Pelham Town Hall, Sobeys, Vermeer’s, Rice Road Greenhouse and Pet Valu. For more information call (905) 892-2607 ext 341. Communities in Bloom committee member, Edie Basaraba, gets ready to show off her gardens. The Garden Tour will take place on July 16, rain or shine.

Town celebrates grand opening of fire station BY TINA CHIVERS VOICE Staff The Fenwick firefighters have a new place to rest their hats. Pelham celebrated the grand opening of Fire Station # 2 on June 25—a $2.9million facility on Welland Street. According to Mayor Dave Augustyn, the idea of a new fire hall began over 10 years ago, as the old fire hall was in need of upgrades and/or repairs. At the time, however, the funds were not available to build a new station. With the help of government funding, the new facility was realized. Augustyn says that, without the funding, the town would not have been able to build such a facility. The new facility offers 12,000 square feet of space, and it includes more-thanample storage space plus training areas, and room for community events. The firefighters also unveiled a new crest that will be featured on their uniforms. The crest reflects the history of the community and its fire department. “The crest represents the history, heritage and honour of the fire department
and firefighters at large , including those who lost their lives in New York City in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001,” says Capt. Ben Gutenberg. At the end of the ceremony, a time capsule was buried. The capsule contains some of the history of the old fire hall and a couple of copies of the current newspapers. It will be reopened in 25 years. After the ceremony, the firefighters hosted an afternoon open house for the community. Visitors enjoyed food and beverages, a video presentation, and family-friendly activities.
Having fun, the oldfashioned way!

Fonthill child digs dinosaurs Catch what’s
airing on PelhamTV
BY TINA CHIVERS VOICE Staff He may be only eight years-old, but when it comes to dinosaurs, Devon Lawrence knows more than most adults. Lawrence, who just completed Grade 3 at St. Alexander’s School, was attending a recent seminar at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) when he was discovered by a Daily Planet producer. The seminar speaker was Dr. David Evans, who happens to be the young Larwence’s favourite paleontologtst. “Dr. Evans is a specialist in duck bill dinosaurs,� says Devon. Devon’s mother, Kim Lawrence, said that she decided to take her son to see the seminar at the ROM since she knew that Devon would be over the moon with the opportunity to listen to Dr. Evans. “We were sitting in a room in a basement of the ROM, and it was mostly senior citizens,� says Kim. “And then there was us.� After the seminar, there

Tina Chivers/Voice Photo was a question and answer period, and Devon wasted no time engaging the paleontologist. Devon’s knowledge attracted the attention of a woman seated next to him. It turns out, the woman was a producer for the Daily Planet, and she asked Kim if Devon would be interested in filming a dinosaur segment with Dr. Evans. Within two months, the young lad was in the stu-

Belly fat is a stubborn problem. No end of Skin Tags, sit-ups and crunches make Male Facial Hair it disappear. Growth and Starving and running on the treadmill for hours every week doesn’t seem to budge belly fat either. We know there is a connection between our expanding waistlines and our hormones. The main hormone contributing to belly fat is insulin. Insulin is a powerful hormone that, when in excess, also causes an elevation in circulating male hormones in women, causing male facial hair growth and acne too. In men, elevated insulin results in a beer belly and breasts. Elevated insulin promotes weight gain, high cholesterol, diabetes and excess belly fat. Skin tags are an early sign of pre-diabetes. Thankfully, busting belly fat and normalizing insulin just got easier. The nutrient Chirositol™ (pronounced “kur-au-sit-olâ€?), researched in over 30 studies at the Virginia Medical School, works for pre-diabetes, Type-2 diabetes, excess male hormone-related conditions like acne, PCOS, and male facial hair growth in women. Chirositol™ has also been shown to reduce appetite and improve our happy hormone serotonin, which halts sugar cravings and controls appetite. But where Chirositol™ really shines is in fighting belly

dio, filming the show. He spent one day at the CTV studios in front of a green screen which he described as “very cool�. “The entire thing was unscripted,� says Kim. “It was just a conversation between Devon and Dr. Evans.� Kim says that Devon first began to draw dinosaurs at the age of three and he showed a keen interest in the creatures by the age of five. Now, just over three years later, Devon has a vast collection of dinosaur-related non-fic-
tion—most of it is at an adult reading level. Kim says that Devon can hold his own with adults when it comes to discussing dinosaurs, and that he has no patience for “kids’ stuff� or replicas that are not anatomically correct. Devon says his favourite is the Stygimoloch. “He’s really cool,� says Devon. “He has a big dome head and spikes surrounding his head, and he’s a herbavore.� Not surprisingly, Devon wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up.

Local residents and business owners may find themselves having something to say about Pelham on You Tube. Fonthill business owners Cathy Berkhout-Bosse and Bryan Caporicci have been all over town, interviewing people for an event video series which is putting Pelham on display via You Tube. The pair has set up a “PelhamTV� You Tube Channel which can be viewed online at www.youtube. com/user/PelhamTV. The event video series was realized after Berkhout-Bosse, Summerfest promotions manager, first announced her role via Twitter. She says that Caporicci then tweeted that he would love to get together for some idea sharing about the event. “We both felt that You Tube would be a great vehicle to help build both public awareness, community spirit and lift the general morale of participants,� says Berkout-Bosse. “Bryan then decided to come forward as a sponsor by offering to contribute these videos and a photo journal to the festival; we developed the content together—the rest is his pure talent and inspiration.� The intent of the video series is to create a common platform for sharing videos that promote Pelham. Also linked is the PBA “Did You Know� series, along with some of the promotional videos that Berkhout-Bosse has done for MyPelham.com. There are eight Pelham Summerfest event promotion videos in total; topics include: Getting the Street Ready in Time; Business Showcase; Main Stage Entertainment, Food & Drink, Active Lifestyle, Kids Activities, X-Zone Youth Zone and overall event profile video. Over 20 local residents have been interviewed in this Festival video report series. “We even interviewed our construction workers,� says Berkhout-Bosse.

Berm builder says he’s being victimized BY TINA CHIVERS VOICE Staff
According to Larry Sztogryn, the town is discriminating against him. The town has imposed a half-load truck limit on Centre Street and Sixteen Road which is preventing him from completing the construction of his new home and a berm. He says that the reason he’s building the berm is to improve his farm operation. “I can’t believe the discrimination I’ve encountered here,” says Sztogryn. “And I’ve been the victim of name calling and harassment by neighbours.” With the half-load restriction, it would be too expensive to use extra trucks to deliver the soil and it would be difficult to bring in construction
equipment such as a cement truck to pour floors, he says. Sztrogryn says he wants people to hear his side of the story, and not accept as truth what his neighbours are saying about him. Sztogryn’s neighbour, Les Csanyi, appeared as a delegate, speaking to town council’s general committee on June 6. Csanyi told the committee that Sztogryn’s berm damaged agricultural land and could have potentially endangered his well (raising concerns about the quality of his drinking water). According to Sztogryn, he was unaware of the council meeting and he says that he would have liked the opportunity to defend himself at the
meeting. Sztogryn’s berm, which is made of soil and stone, is not breaking any laws and does not require any permits, he says. “The Minstry of Environment has been here, and inert material was tested,” says Sztogryn. “It must have been okay. There was no order to remove it; the Ministry doesn’t fool around.” Sztogryn asserts that his berm will improve —not harm—his agricultural operation by drying out a wet area (which would ultimately protect his hay production, eliminate a mosquito source, and create a tree nursery). Sztogryn also plans to build a solar panel directly into the slope—one that, he says, would not be an eyesore.
Furthermore, the berm would also give Sztogryn access to a wooded area at the back of the 28-acre property. He says he has plans to landscape the berm to match the one he has on the other side of his property. In addressing the issue of well water Sztogryn says that he likely draws water from the same well source as his neighbour, Csanyi. “I’m not going to do anything to damage the same water that my wife and I drink,” he says. Regarding the sidewalk sections and asphalt that have been delivered to his berm, Sztogryn says that he did not request those deliveries. “They brought that stuff without my permission,” he says. “They hustled it
all in while I was away at a medical appointment.” He says he wanted smaller materials that he could move around himself with his tractor. He had made arrangements with Brennan Construction, its subcontractor Centennial, and Cameron Trucking to receive dirt from the Pelham Street reconstruction project. He says that, in total, only 140 loads were dropped off—not the assembly-line of activity that Csanyi has spoken of. During a tour of his property, he pointed out that he’s using some of the concrete slabs as a base to stack firewood and farm equipment. He says he would be pleased if the subcontractor would remove the rest of them, and he says he has written
Local swing band to play at Bandshell The Jimmy Marando Swing Band (presented by Raymond James Ltd.) will be playing at the Bandshell on June 30. The Jimmy Marando Swing Band is still in ‘full swing’, bringing the best hits of the 30’s through 70’s to audiences throughout Niagara and beyond. Formed in 1965 in Welland by Jimmy Marando, the band continues to bring back musical memories of days when audiences danced to swing, jazz and classic (ballroom) standards. These include the best of Glen Miller, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Judy Garland, Ella
Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Broadway, Latin, polka and much more! Band members are from all parts of Niagara, travelling weekly to Welland for rehearsals and many of the charts feature vocals, performed by Maggie Vida. After Jimmy Marando’s passing, the band continued to be led by others, most notably, Nev Glanfield, until his passing in 2009. As the band as well as the Marando and Glanfield families hoped for the band to continue, the band has since been managed as a ‘cooperative’ by all active band

to the town to ask its contractor to do so. Sztogryn’s intent is to build both a house and a construction-equipment storage garage. The work has been delayed due to a car accident in which Sztogryn received serious injuries (requiring numerous surgeries and a lengthy recovery process). Stzogryn was hit by a teen driver, who ran a stop sign. Sztogryn and his wife, Jane, currently live in a home on Canboro Road in Fenwick, and they want to finish building their dream home on Centre Street. Sztogryn says that the trucks delivering loads to his property did not tear up the road. The town claims otherwise, thus the half-load restriction. According to Sztogryn, people are victimizing him, and using the town’s by-laws to shut him out. At the June 27 general committee meeting held in council chambers, council discussed the issue of the delivery of concrete. According to CAO, Martin Yamich, the town did not authorize the delivery of any concrete. “There is no way the town instructed any contractors to dump concrete out there,” says Yamich. The town may consider seeking legal advice to help deal with the matter.

Why such a rush to get in and out of town? Quietly nestled into a hillside, abundant with babbling brooks, scenic country roads, outstanding cycling routes, unique farm experiences, specialty shopping boutiques and culinary destinations, in part, is the wording used to describe our town on the SummerFest website. Surely we’d all agree. That being the case, I can’t help but wonder why so many people are in such a rush to get in or out or around town in the least amount of time possible. A travel destination is just what Pelham aspires to and we who live here should enjoy the beauty surrounding us but, do we? No. Instead we take it all for granted, get caught up in driving from one destination to another
and not always with our minds on our driving. Speeding in Pelham has become a very real and very serious issue. The sad part is most drivers speeding in Pelham are residents of Pelham so the very people concerned are the very people causing the problem. The last time I looked every road was posted with the Speed Limit. That’s right SPEED LIMIT not the “suggested” speed but the maximum limit a vehicle is allowed to travel the section of the road. Speeding is described as anything in excess of the posted limit. The Community Policing Committee has stepped up their Speed Watch program to respond to the ever-increasing num-
ber of speed complaints received by purchasing an Onsite Radar Speed Dolly complete with a statistics data logger and software. What does this mean? Quite simply, the committee is able to monitor speeds and transfer the data to the Niagara Regional Police Services (NRPS) for response. The positioning of the Speed Dolly is being coordinated with the NRPS and tickets and fines will be handed out! To date, statistics have been gathered on Hurricane Road, Station Street and Pelham Street north of Pancake Lane. The results are astounding! During a 40 hour period 1847 vehicles were monitored westbound on Hurricane Road east

of Station Street. During that time 849 vehicles were clocked exceeding the posted speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour with an average speed of 59 kph, including two vehicles whose speed was in excess of double the limit. That is 55% of the traffic exceeding the speed limit and all of this in a quiet residential neighbourhood! The Speed Dolly was relocated to Station Street after that so I must fess up…There I was rushing along Station Street last Tuesday morning only to have my speed flashing frantically up at me. Well, it worked. I slowed down! Then I thought about it, the road is familiar, my mind was elsewhere and I was oblivious to the lead
in my foot. It was definitely time for a reality check. As the volume of traffic increases we become less tolerant of being slowed down as a result of it but let’s be realistic…plan on the trip taking five minutes longer and if it doesn’t, you have time for the drive-thru to pick up that coffee. Consider this: How much longer is it going to take to get from point A to point B if you need to stop for a discussion with a Police Officer and obtain his badge number on that ticket? We all have places to go and people to see but let’s all be cognizant of the posted speed limit, drive accordingly and think about the ramifications of what could be if we don’t heed the speed,

Flowers stolen at father’s gravesite It is with intense frustration and disappointment that I write this letter to my hometown paper, in order to call attention to a recent theft. My father’s gravesite in the Fonthill Cemetery had its flowers stolen for the second time in as many years. My mother had taken great pains to plant some lovely magenta and white Martha Washington geraniums after weeding and clearing of spring overgrowth. Upon visiting the site on Fathers’ Day, it was discovered that the flowers had been dug up and stolen. Flowers were stolen off his gravesite last year around the same time of year, and we hoped it was a misunderstanding and certainly a one-time incident. It is extremely upsetting that someone would stoop so low as to steal flowers from a gravesite, particularly on Fathers’
Day and so close to my father’s own birthday. My father was a good man who survived 10 years of living with cancer before finally losing his battle in 2004. I miss him every day, particularly on Fathers’ Day, and particularly two weeks ago when he was not able to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day. I would appreciate if this letter was published in the Voice so that the culprit, or someone who knows the individual or individuals, might read it and realize there are people who have noticed, and who care.

Grand opening of new fire station, ongoing service BY DAVE AUGUSTYN Mayor of Pelham We held the Grand Opening of the new Pelham Fire Station #2 this past Saturday. More than a decade ago a small planning group of Firefighters identified several deficiencies in the former Fire Station. They suggested building a replacement facility, but lack of funding stopped that process. Then, in August 2008, Town Council formally established a Fire Station #2 Replacement Committee. Chaired by former-Councillor Debbie Urbanowicz (who attended the opening!), the Committee included Councillor Peter Papp, Fire Chief Scott McLeod, District Chief Owen Simmonds, Captain Otto Heinrich, Captain Tim Vanderweide, Town CAO Martin Yamich, and myself (ex officio). The Committee reconfirmed that Town needed a new Fire Station on a new site because parts of the 50-year-old building are structur-
ally inadequate and deteriorating, because of the safety concerns with firefighters backing-up vehicles after each call, and because the old site has no room to expand or reconstruct a new fire station. The Committee worked with Firefighters to determine their needs and worked with the community to find the best location and property for a new Fire Station. The Committee completed a functional analysis to determine space requirements and an appropriate building configuration, and oversaw an environmental assessment and re-zoning of the site. When the National and Provincial government announced Infrastructure Stimulus Funding, the Town submitted a complete business case for the new facility. That funding made Fire Station #2 a reality! I deeply appreciate support of Federal and Provincial governments who invested a total of $1.98 million into the $2.9 million project. The new, 12,000 square foot facility includes:a separate area to store bunker gear and each firefighter’s

Thank you
The Fun Fair Committee would just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for attending the annual Glynn A. Green Fun Fair on Friday May 27th, 2011. The rain did not scare anyone away from enjoying the festivities. This activity is GAG Public School’s “fun” fundraiser for the year, with the proceeds going directly back into the school to benefit the children and the educational environment of the school. The Fun Fair Committee would not have been able to put together such a successful “fun fundraising” evening if not for all the generosity of the GAG staff, students, parents, grandparents, and local community members such as Riverview Golf Club and Peninsula Lakes Golf Club who both continue to generously donate to the silent auction. Additionally the GAG Fun Fair Committee would like to publicly thank the following individuals and companies for their generous donations to our silent auction: Agrogreen, Ardene’s, Anne Smelsky of Everyday Style, Avon by Angela Williams, Bailey O Brady’s, Blue Star Restaurant, Briggsy’s Sportswear & Promotions, Bird Kingdom, Boston Pizza, Bowl-O-Rama Lanes, Butterflies Boutique, Ron Sayles, Royal LePage, Cheeky Monkeys, Curves, Dave & Busters, Dr. Marc Bosilac, Dr. R.J.

Finally the Fun Fair Committee must recognize the work our own GAG students did in preparation for such an event, it makes us very proud.

This week in baseball... It was the battle of Pelham on Monday night as the Rookie Ball Pelham Grey Panthers, faced off against the Pelham LaFarge Team. Both teams played a strong game with
excellent hits and fielding plays exchanged. The Panthers bench erupted into cheers as Carter, Ethan and Wyatt scored RBIs. Forced outs at first and second were regis-
tered thanks to the quick hands of Matthew and Sammy. Nolan showed great promise as a catcher, snagging most of the fast balls from the pitching machine. The final score
e i s u r e
was a tight 5-4 in favour of the Grey Panthers. The Grey Panthers played a second game last week, this time hitting the road to visit Beamsville’s Ted Roberts Park. Although Beamsville prevailed, a solid technical game was played by the Panthers. Cole hit a double to the outfield, knocking in several base runners. Tayah, Trent, Michael and Meghan recorded base hits and contributed to the high scoring game. Jack pulls the team together; always bring a positive attitude and a winning smile! Several innings were brought to an end because the Panthers had their maximum 10 batters up to bat, displaying the even batting skills of the team. The Grey Panthers would like to thank their sponsor, Miller Restoration Disaster Kleenup, for making this season possible. After a slow start to the season, the Pelham Star Tile Knights Mosquito Baseball team picked up steam this week. First they met their local rivals, the Pelham Pirates. The Pirates held a 3-1 lead after the 2nd inning, when the Knight’s defence began to come together. A nice play between pitcher Carter Nicholas and Ben Klassen at 1st 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 4th inning. 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 5 runs each. The Knight’s batting was highlighted by a 3 RBI double by Dan Durkin, and single RBI hits by Adam Bisson & Aidan Nichols, bringing Aidan Longo, Duncan MacFarlane, Bisson, Ashick & Durkin home. Unable to score in the 6th, 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 1st and kept the A’s scoreless when the top of the 2nd ended with Carter Nicholas tagging out a runner at 3rd. The Knights seized control of the game earning 5 runs in the bottom of the 2nd. The A’s rallied in the 4th, but with lead-off hitter Nicholas Grant reaching first base, followed by 8 of his team-mates, the game was beyond their reach, and the Knights earned their first victory of the season. The Knights had good defensive play and solid hitting. Ayrton Ashick, Aidan Longo, Keegan Ingraham, Aidan
Nichols, and Adam Bisson were all perfect at the plate (the 2nd game of perfect hitting in a row for Adam Bisson!), and Dan Durkin lead in RBIs with three 2 RBI hits. On Monday June 13th, the Fonthill M&M Meats’ Pelham Pirates met up with the Welland Walmart team in an exciting, edge of your seat game. It was neck and neck right up until the last inning when Ryan Dykstra started things off with a home run slammed into right field. Followed by some more awesome hitting by Noah Wouthuis, Nicholas Yioldassis, Zachary Baltrusiunas & Ayden Janas, the Pirates took the lead going into the bottom of the 6th. Unfortunately, they were unable to hold the lead and the Pirates experienced their first loss 14 – 13. On Wednesday, June 15th, the Fonthill M&M Meats’ Pelham Pirates triumphed in a match up with the Pelham Knights. It was a tight, low scoring game going into the 5th inning when Reid Murray started things off with a hard hit to LF and a slide into 2nd earning him a double, after getting all 3 outs at 3rd in the bottom of the 4th. Then, hard hit singles & some sliding by Sarah Saldutto, Callan Saldutto & Malyssa Cimato loaded up the bases and the Pirates’ hitting streak continued, giving them a nice lead. Despite a good comeback by the Knights, the Pirates stayed strong, earning them a 13 – 7 victory.

e i s u r e
June 21st, Centennial Park saw Lampman’s Furniture Junior softball team take on Free Gas, giving the spectators a lot of hits and good defensive plays. Lampman’s came out on top en route to a 17-8 victory. In the top of the first, Kaitlyn Reece hit the ball right back to William Guitard of Lampman’s (pitcher). William then threw the ball to Kaileigh Smith at first base for the
first out of the inning. Bottom of the first had William Guitard hit a long ball only to be tagged out at home plate by Lauren Mancino of Free Gas. In the second, Lauren Mancino hit the ball which was stopped by Kaileigh Smith of Lampman’s at first base for an out. After getting on base, Emma Farion of Free Gas was tagged out at home after a nice play by Tommy Fal-
coner (backcatcher) and Isaac Stephens (pitcher) of Lampman’s teamed up to get the out. Top of the third, Isaac Stephens made a highlight reel diving catch from the pitchers’ mound to get Kaitlyn Reece out. Daniel Guitard of Lampman’s made a huge stop at third base after a hit by Darren Sojka stealing a sure homerun hit. Excellent effort by both teams! Stats
for Free Gas: Zachary Free (single), Darren Sojka (single, double), Lauren Mancino (homerun). Stats for Lampman’s: Kaileigh Smith (2 singles), William Guitard (single, triple), Andrew Guitard (single, double), Xavier Stephens (double), Isaac Stephens (2 doubles), Gavin Hillhouse (single), Daniel Guitard (single), Tommy Falconer (2 singles). On June 22nd, Lamp-
man’s Furniture knew they had a tough game ahead of them when they faced Duliban Insurance. In the top of the first, Isaac Stephens caught a fly ball hit by Aiden Belding of Duliban securing an out. In the second, Kaileigh Smith of Lampman’s dominated at first base, securing 3 outs against Duliban. Two of those were due to fast-thinking and acting from Isaac Stephens in the pitcher’s mound. Awesome teamwork! In the bottom of the second, Mackie Sider of Duliban tagged out Kaileigh Smith at first base. Third inning action saw Aiden Belding (pitcher) of Duliban securing 2 outs against Gavin Hillhouse
and Tommy Falconer. In the fourth, Aiden Belding once again secured an out by tagging Daniel Guitard en route to third base. The game ended with Lampman’s winning 16 to 6. Stats for Duliban: Mackie Sider (single), Aiden Belding (single), Taryn Petrovsky (single), Tessa Kievit (double), D.J. Petrovsky (single). Stats for Lampman’s: Xavier Stephens (triple), William Guitard (2 singles, triple), Daniel Guitard (single, double), Gavin Hillhouse (2 singles, double, triple), Tommy Falconer (single, double), Kaileigh Smith (triple), Andrew Guitard (triple), Isaac Stephens (triple, homerun).

Think Trillium Awards BY TINA CHIVERS VOICE Staff Calling all beautiful Pelham properties. The Pelham Communities in Bloom Committee is accepting nominations for the Trillium Awards. The awards recognize and thank residents and businesses for adding to the beauty of Pelham. Since the Trillium grows naturally in the Pelham community, it is used to emphasize the fact that this award is for the people of Pelham. This summer, during July, front yards of entrants will be viewed
to find properties that are neat, have exuberant flower beds, display different plant materials and innovative design, or are part of an attractive streetscape. The Committee encourages all residents to help make Pelham one of the prettiest towns in Ontario. The committee looks forward to receiving entries for properties in the community that bring delight to the viewer and pride to the town. Entry information is as follows: All entries will be judged on the basis of view from the nearest public roadway; the award is limited to properties within
the municipal boundaries of the Town of Pelham; criteria for judging will include balance, colour, innovation and the blending of the landscaping with the building and remainder of property; judging will take place by July 30 by the Communities in Bloom Committee or their appointees; the committee, award sponsors, and members of town council will recognize winners. The categories are as follows: Category #1 Residential Small Frontage; Category #2 Residential Large Frontage; Category #3 Residential Small (professionally landscaped within the last five years); Category #4 Residential Large (professionally landscaped within the last fiveyears); Category #5 Commercial Property; Category #6 Multiple Residential; Category #7 Best Individual Balcony; Category #8 Schools, Churches, Institutions; Category #9 Most Improved, Residential or Commercial (before photo required with entry).
