Long-time local business owner looks forward to retirement after 30 busy years BY WAYNE CREIGHTON Special to the Voice With the construction business waning, Harry Schonewille created a job for himself. Even if that wasn’t his original intent. In 1983, Schonewille and his wife Lois purchased a 1,600 square foot building on Highway 20 and the idea was to do some renovations and then resell the property. “The plan was to fix it up and then sell it,” said Schonewille. “In 1983, I had my own construction company and construction sucked. So, basically I created a job for myself even if that wasn’t my intent.” The property Schonewille purchased nearly 30 years ago is today one of Pelham’s best known attractions featuring the Lazy Loon restaurant, Log Cabin, an art gallery and quilting bee and has expanded to more than 14,000 square feet. It began as the Log Cabin Trading Post and showcased Canadian made products with everything from moccasins and maple syrup to jewellery and native folk art. The first winter, the store was even heated by a wood burning stove. “That’s what we were

“The Niagara region has been very supportive and we’ve had a lot of people coming in and telling us how sorry they are to see us go.” “But you have to move on,” he added. “I’m 68 and I have been in the

workforce for 54 years and I’ve earned my keep.” Schonewille says he plans to dust off his golf clubs upon retirement, but is really looking forward to doing some travelling with Lois.

known for, carrying only Canadian made products and the business quickly became recognized as one of Ontario’s most unique gift shops,” said Schonewille. “It was especially popular at Christmas time with European visitors.” In 1998, Schonewille leased out part of the property for the creation of the Lazy Loon restaurant and noted that much of the remaining space has been leased over the years to local artisans with as many as 14 at one time displaying their work. In 2001, the art gallery opened and in 2008 Schonewille sold the property but continued to run the art gallery. However, come October 1 he will call it quits once and for all with the Quilting Bee taking over the space now occupied by the art gallery. “No regrets,” says Schonewille. “There have been some struggles of course, but we’ve had a lot of good times during the 28 years we have been here. “My wife and I have put in a lot of time and hard work. I couldn’t have done it without her. And a couple of my kids have put in a lot of time and hard work as well. It’s really been a family business.”

Kinsmen seek support with fundraiser The Fonthill District Kinsmen will be holding their annual toll to raise funds for cystic fibrosis at the Fonthill Shopping Centre on Saturday, September 24 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. Currently, there is no cure for the disease. The Fonthill Kinsmen raise money to help Canadians with cystic fibrosis pri-
marily by funding research and care. In 1989, Canadian researchers, funded by Cystic Fibrosis Canada, discovered the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis, and they continue to play a leading role in the worldwide race to develop new treatments, and a cure for this disease. Every dollar donated moves us one step closer to a cure or effective control for cystic fibrosis.

VIEWpoints
Representation on municipal councils in Ontario BY BRIAN BATY Regional Councillor The Niagara Community Observatory at Brock University released a policy brief on September 15, 2011 entitled “Representation on Municipal Councils in Ontario.” The report deals with the issue of representation on local and regional councils. Some people express the view that Niagara is “over-governed”; that we have too many politicians for our population and something should happen to reduce the high number of local and regional politicians in Niagara. The last time the governance issue was raised by the Regional Council, it supported an increase in representation by add-
ing a new directly elected Regional Councillor to represent the Town of Pelham. The rationale at the time was that Niagara-on-the-Lake had always been represented by the indirect election to Regional Council of the Lord Mayor and the direct election of a Regional Councillor. Over the years Pelham’s population began to exceed that of Niagara-on-the-Lake so the additional directly elected representative for Pelham seemed equitable. That direction had to be supported by what is called the triple majority. That is the majority of Regional Councillors had to favour that direction; the majority of the twelve local communities had to favour that direction and those communities that
favoured that direction had to represent more than one half of Niagara’s population. In the end, that decision did pass the triple majority test and I became the first directly elected Regional Councillor for the Town of Pelham. When the Ontario Regions were established in the 1970s, the first Regional Chairs were appointed. Since then Regional Chairs become elected or appointed in different ways. In Niagara the Regional Chair is elected from the newly elected members of Regional Council although the option does exist to appoint a non-elected citizen of Niagara. The regions of Halton and Waterloo directly elect the Regional Chair and the
Region of Durham voters decided to go in that direction in 2014. Currently in the Regions of Durham, York and Peel the Chairs are appointed by the Regional Councillors even though the Chairs were not elected. The argument against directly electing the Regional Chair is that we consist of twelve individual communities with no common media source. To run a campaign for election as the Regional Chair would be extremely expensive and would likely result in political party control or significant obligations to the funders of any campaign after the election. Should the current Regional Council enter into the discussion of changing the number of councillors for the next
term, that debate will have to require the triple majority support. Some advocate for a double directly elected representative. That would mean a person would serve as a Local Councillor as well as a Regional Councillor just like mayors. Detractors from this direction suggest that issues could arise which would put individuals in conflict between what is best for their town/city versus what is best for the region as a whole. Others feel that double duty would turn into a full-time position and disqualify many citizens who would want to continue in a part-time role. The Niagara Observatory notes that the total expense of Regional Council for remuneration
and expenses is less than one-half of one percent of the budget so costsaving is not a rationale for reducing numbers as Regional Councillors in other regions are compensated far more than in Niagara and many have additional expenses for offices and support staff. Brock’s study is current and should provide some basis for examining the future governance in Niagara. They provide a significant starting point by asking the question, “What problem could be solved by reducing the size of Regional Council?” Brian Baty is a Niagara Regional Councillor for the Town of Pelham brian. baty@niagararegion.ca.
Letters to the Editor YOUR VOICE
We don’t need two libraries Please fill out We are writing to you regarding the potential new branch library for Fenwick. We agree whole-heartedly with a proposal to conduct an analysis to determine the needs of the entire town for library services. Such an analysis would, we expect, delineate several options for the Replacement Committee to consider in its ongoing work. One option we envision (and recommend) is a single central library serving the entire municipality. Since the Fonthill branch is deemed inadequate for its needs and activities, there will clearly be pressure to enlarge or relocate it in the near future. Thinking about this situation, we were reminded of the town of Niagara-on-the-Lake which recently built one large library facility to serve their entire town, despite a widely
dispersed population. We think this is the best approach for Pelham. Why? Building one library would reduce capital costs up front, and of course keep ongoing maintenance, heating costs, etc, lower than it would be for two buildings. Some portion of the capital costs could be offset with the sale of other Town properties, such as the old Fenwick Firehall land and the unused Maple Acre Library (once vacated). The current Fonthill branch could then be used as an administrative annex to the Town Hall, thereby handling any future expansion needs for the Town Hall. Depending on the final location chosen for a central library, the major challenge would be for residents to get to it. Most people have cars or access to cars, and the few who don’t or have to rely on others to get around, could be served

by an entrepreneur running a small taxi-like service—perhaps a regular twice per week run. Another option is to have a call-in request service and have a volunteer deliver their books—the library catalogue is available on-line, or a copy could be mailed to their homes. Also, with a central library, staffing requirements are greatly reduced as staff do not need to be duplicated. In that respect, we feel that the library doesn’t use enough volunteers to assist regular staff in operating our current facilities. In summary, we believe that one central library serving the entire town of Pelham has many advantages for the municipality’s residents and should be the preferred option.

I am very pleased that businesses are expanding or celebrating in this way. TAG Computers – Grand Re-Opening: Congratulations to Tom McIntyre for his grand re-opening of a new store front location at #6-111 Hwy 20 East across the road from Sobeys in Fonthill (in former Voice of Pelham office). TAG moved from another Fonthill location and builds and sells Home and Office Computer Systems including networking, upgrades and security features; helps with preventative computer maintenance; and printer supplies. Clarence’s Service Centre – 50th Anniversary Celebration: Congratulations to brothers Louie and Hans Dam and their families for the 50 years of business and automotive service to the community! They celebrated this tremendous business milestone with a customer appreci-
ation on Saturday, September 10 at their shop at 801 Canboro Road in Fenwick. The celebration included vintage and hot-rod car display, and a delicious BBQ. Studio Twenty – Grand Opening: Krysta Pratt, registered massage therapist, officially opened her new business at the Fonthill Plaza (at 20 Regional Road 20 East) on September 14. She moved from homebased business and expanded services to her store-front studio. The studio provides programs for men and women at all fitness levels, including spinning, yoga, zumba, tai chi, pilates, along with massage therapy and nutrition. Ooh La La Designs & Living Art Studio – Grand Opening: Congratulations to Kelly Gojmerac who opened her new store on September 17 in one of the rear-units of the new building in Downtown Fonthill (1471 Pelham Street). Ooh La La Designs had been a home-based business and now, because of success, has opened a store-front. Ooh la la Designs works to make their clients’ entrances, patios, and offices spectacular and one of a kind

container flowers and displays for every season. Commercial Building Façade Improvement Application: At our Committee meeting on Monday, Councillors reviewed another application for a commercial building façade improvement on the now former Butterflies Building in downtown Fonthill. (Butterflies recently moved to 1408 Pelham St., near the corner of Church Hill.) The proposal calls for the repair and replacement of existing façade – siding, shutters, windows, etc.— in preparation for the opening of a new candy store. Yum! I am pleased that businesses like these are expanding, growing, and celebrating successes across Pelham. Let’s remember that if our community wants to continue to be home to diverse and creative businesses, their success depends on a great business and our ongoing patronage.

Pelham Panthers U10 boys storm past Concord to win Billy Gray Cup gold The Pelham Fonthill Orthodontics U10 Boys defeated two separate St. Catharines Concord teams this weekend to win the U10 Tier II Championship in Niagara district Soccer this weekend. The exciting weekend began with a dominating win over Concord Blue. Leading the way with two strong goals for the Panthers was Bradley Steele. Josh Glen scored between the Steele
tallies to put the game out of reach and vault the Panthers into a final match against Concord Green. The Panther Midfield was also very solid, led by center midfielder Lucas Fast, who shut down opposing rushes in with his play. Campbell Veld, Alex Repar and Quentin Annunziata controlled play along the sidelines and controlled the flow up and down the field all game. In the
Championship match, held Sunday in Grimsby, the Panther defence led the charge. Devon Thibodeau was solid all game, thwarting oncoming rushes with his speed and agility. His partner, Elliott Song frustrated the opponents with his determination and effort every time they made a run to the goal. Opposition balls were launched back to the Concord defensive
end by the booming kicks of Evan Macpherson and Mitchell Waldt. The team was solidly anchored by their fearless keeper Liam Sodtke, who shut down all opposition earning two well-deserved shutouts over the two days.The
Panthers solidified the win with a goal mid-way through the second half and never looked back. It was an awesome finish to what has been a fantastic journey. In addition to Fonthill Orthodontics, the coaches, players and
parents would like to deeply express their gratitude to team sponsors, LifeMark Health, Accelerated Health, and PinPoint Medical Inc., for their generous support.

Lampman businesses celebrate 100 years BY TINA CHIVERS VOICE Staff A lot can change in 100 years. But one thing has remained constant—the Lampman family has continued to run local businesses. Lampman’s Furnitire
and Lampman Funeral Home are celebrating 100 years in Fenwick, and both businesses are still family-run. It all began back in 1911, in Wellandport, where John Lampman started a hardware store. The store then grew into a furniture
store. And while running the furniture store, Lampman also operated a funeral home (which was located upstairs from the furniture store). And when the businesses needed more manpower, who better to recruit than one of their own? John
Glenn Lampman joined the team, and the furniture store relocated to Fenwick. Soon thereafter, a new funeral home was also built next door to the furniture store. Both businesses are still operating at that location, on Can-
boro Road. Today the business is run by John Glenn’s daughter, Carol, and her husband, Irv Muir. The pair has recruited their two sons, Alan and Glenn, giving the team a four-generation flair. In honour of the 100th anniversary, the Lampman stores are throwing a week-long bash, from September 19 - 24. “We’ll be giving away prizes every day of the week,” says co-owner, Alan Muir.”And on the
Saturday, we’ll have a car show and a barbeque with proceeds going to the Humane Society.” The store is now airing commercials on CH Television, and a La-Z-Boy set will be given away on the CH morning news. Muir urges people to check with the news station for details about how to get in on the giveaway action. “Pelham has been a great place to run a business,” says Muir. “It’s a nice, tight community to live and work in.”
