Pelham scientist’s breakthrough finding

Parched

Dr. Uwe Brand is key member of team measuring prehistoric air samples BY ZACH JUNKIN

The VOICE

850 million years ago, our planet was a much different place. And while scientists have long known that earth’s atmosphere at that time varied significantly from what we see today, its exact composition has remained the subject of spirited academic debate. But that may be coming to an end following a paper published by a Brock University-led team of scientists, including Pelham’s own Dr. Uwe Brand. Up until now, it was estimated that 800 million to 1 billion years ago, oxygen comprised no more than 2 per cent of the Earth’s atmosphere. However, Dr. Brand and his team have turned this theory on its head

with a custom-built machine, and pieces of halite, a natural form of table salt. Within the halite samples are tiny bubbles that contain atmospheric gasses that were trapped in the rocks at the time they formed. Until now, the bubbles’ contents were too slight to identify

with precision. But by using an extremely sensitive apparatus, the team was able to take accurate measurements, and found that the average oxygen content was actually 10.9%, about half of modern levels and more than five times greater than previously thought. According to Dr. Brand, this discovery will provide scientists with a greater understanding of how modern life came to be. “Knowing how much oxygen there was determines how life evolved,” he said. While humans consume oxygen, scientists know that early life on the planet was much different. “The life forms that evolved at that time were very primitive and they See HALITE Page 3

On Tuesday August 2, at around 9:30pm, a lone male with a weapon entered a Canadian Tire Gas Bar Kiosk in St. Catharines demanding money.

Habitat seeks families for upcoming builds

Habitat for Humanity Niagara is looking for families in need of decent, affordable housing, who would benefit from a $0 down payment, 0% interest mortgage with affordable payments. Habitat Niagara is holding two open houses where people can drop-in and find out more about its homeownership program. The open houses are planned for 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 9 at the Elizabeth Street Pumphouse (447 Elizabeth St., Grimsby) and 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 13 at its

ReStore (150 Bunting Rd., St. Catharines). “We are seeking to qualify families for houses we’re building in Grimsby, Port Colborne, Welland and an Aboriginal Family for Fort Erie,” says Sandy Rempel, Habitat Niagara’s Family Services Manager. Habitat Niagara partners with families who are ready for the responsibility and challenges of homeownership, but would not qualify for a traditional mortgage. The selection of families is based on the need for safe, decent, affordable shelter, the ability to pay a zero-interest mortgage, and the willingness to volunteer 500 hours of ‘sweat equity.’ Attendees will learn about the qualifying requirements and the application process necessary to apply for a Habitat house. Minimum qualifications are being a permanent resident of Canada, family size of three or more people, a demonstrated need for better housing, meeting income requirements, attending new homeowner classes and completing up to 500 hours of ‘sweat equity.’ For more information contact Habitat for Humanity Niagara.

This week in baseball BY MELISSA WELLS

Special to the VOICE

On Thursday, August 4th, the Meridian Rookie Blue Jays had an exciting 15-6 win against the Welland Mets at Chippawa Park in Welland. The game was very close for the first 3 innings with the Welland Mets shutting down the Pelham hitters with strong defense. The 5th inning saw the game explode with hits by every Meridian Blue Jay player pushing the team to the maximum 7 runs and taking a commanding lead.

Highlights of the game included a 3 run triple by Chase Purdy in the 3rd innning and a 3 run triple by Adam Freure in the 5th. Cole Tresham crushed his 2nd grand slam of the season as well. Jack Rivers had an impressive game in the field and at bat, his swing is looking great and he has been a reliable player at the plate, regularly getting RBIs. Liam Gojmerac put in an impressive 3 innings at back catcher and is beginning to master the position with grit and toughness behind the plate.

The Pelham Medical Associates Mosquito Rep team had a great game against Thorold under the lights on Tuesday, winning the game 22 to 8. Another great pitching outing by Riley Smyth quickly allowed the Pelham offense to take hold. Lucas Grant, Matthew Oakes and Ryan Culig had perfect nights at the plate. Mitchell Morden took three walks and came around to score twice. Ben Buttner, Alex Sawchuck and Julain Rubino ran the bases well and came See BASEBALL Page 3

The Willowbrook Nurseries Peewee Pelham Panthers won two playoff games this

week, the first as a forfeit against St. Catharines and the second against the St. Catharines Blue Jays 16-6 at Merriton Park. With temperatures scorching the Panthers played a good game under the cool and consistent guidance from head coach extraordinaire, Jeff Dykstra! Cade Royer, Ryan Harold and Nathan Denbak were sound on the mound. Ben Martens went 3 for 3 and both Michael Dykstra and Zack Perna crossed the plate 3 times. Jacob Marazzo scored with a hard slide at both second and home. Go Panthers Go!

HERITAGE continued from Page 1 don’t always realize what’s hidden behind the vinyl siding.” Historical records place the log house’s construction sometime in the mid1820s. This timeframe is supported by a number of the construction elements, including a cooking fireplace, which had generally fallen out of fashion by 1840 with the advent of the wood stove. While the new owners, who prefer not to be identified, have salvaged some beams and cast iron hinges from the structure, it was ultimately deemed too expensive to restore or relocate. “It was going to cost way too much to fix up,” they said. Many local historians, along with members of the defunct Heritage Committee, feel that losses like this could potentially be avoided if the Town had a working Heritage Property Register as outlined in the Ontario Heritage Act. Such a register would allow a heritage committee to work with the owners of prospective heritage properties and offer alternatives to demolition. “It’s unfortunate that council disbanded the Her-

In February of this year, the Town of Pelham also announced that a new major road in the East Fonthill development project would bear his name. But for Summersides, the

Our historic buildings and culture are being lost because the resources are not in place to help property owners and council recognize heritage importance

and assist with preservation.” Town staff stated that the town was unaware of a potential heritage building being demolished. Director of Community Planning and Development, Barbara Wiens, said, “Town staff are currently conducting research and working on preparing a registry of non-designated properties

in the Town.” Pelham is currently in the process of designating another home in North Pelham as a Property of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest, according to an advertisement run in local media. That building, known as the Comfort House, was constructed sometime between 1808 and 1839.

At some point there was an “evolutionary jump,” and organisms began to consume oxygen instead. A number of environmental factors were proposed to have caused this jump, including a relatively sudden increase in atmospheric oxygen levels. The Brock team’s discovery appears to support this theory. While the findings shed light on the evolution of life forms, the researchers say that there are many other broad implications. “Deciphering the oxygenation history of the atmosphere and oceans is critical to understanding weathering processes, sedimentary environments, climate change, mass extinctions,

Latin Grammy winner Alex Cuba BY JIM CASSON

Special to the VOICE

Alex was born and raised in Cuba, studied guitar with his music teacher father and played bass in a pop singer’s band, before moving to Canada and launching a career performing his own original works. He’s toured his trio to venues around the world, released four albums and earned 18 awards and nominations for his music, including two Junos and 3 Latin Grammys. His music is shaped by the experience of singing in Spanish in an English/ French nation and by his choice of a home base in the northern town of Smithers, BC. Alex’s smoky vocals and adept guitar-work cross genres and cultures through magnetic pop/ soul hooks. His talent as a songwriter has lead him to co-write

with major label artists artist such as Nelly Furtado and Jason Mraz. However, when it came to his own recording career, the U.S. economic sanctions on Cuba reached beyond the borders of either nation and directed the artist to pursue an independent recording career away from the support of major labels. Support from fans and the industry never wavered though. His self titled release was the only independent release nominated for the Latin Pop category at the Grammy Awards in 2010. Based in Smithers, Caracol Records is the label created to house Alex Cuba’s recordings. His latest album, Healer, refers to the need we all face to grow and heal in our lives physically, spiritually and emotionally. For more information, please go to fonthillbandshell.com.

OPINION As We See It Residents to be burned along with garbage

RECENT proposal made to the Region by an “energy-from-waste” company has many residents concerned, and for good reason. With incinerators throughout the province consistently failing to meet financial and emissions objectives, these facilities have burnedup any goodwill they had with the people forced to live near them. How many more times are we going to let corporate giants with their own agendas come in and sucker us with slick presentations and a few hastily made promises for which they are not actually accountable? Their track records are there for all to see, and it’s time for projects that are literally unable to clean up their act to get swept out the door, rather than under the rug. Waste management is one of the most important aspects of municipal government, and we need to think long and hard about how we are going to meet the associated challenges today and in the future. But Niagara already has the third-highest rate of cancer deaths in the province, in part due to a propensity for mak-

How many more times are we going to let corporate giants...come in and sucker us ing short-sighted decisions in the past. But this can change, and change begins by telling these businesses that the phrase “going green” is meant figuratively, and not a call to poison the locals. Let these corporate shills, with their glowing recommendations and promises to spin our garbage into gold, build the incinerators in their own backyards. Let them deal with the toxic particulate that escapes both their filters and their assurances to the contrary. And better yet, let them pay for it as well. This particular project is looking for an 8-cent-per-kilowatt-hour taxpayer subsidy to achieve

viability. The people in this province are already forking out three-times market rates to international corporate giants like Samsung for their wind power. We don’t need another subsidy-sucker lining-up at the trough, as overflowing as it may be. The Region claims that supporting an incinerator would show that we are “open for business,” but this particular business appears to be of the monkey variety and needs shutting, not opening. Ultimately, it will fall on the general public to make the right choices when it comes to our waste management. This starts with saying “no” to potentially dangerous technologies, but that’s not where it ends. The vast majority of landfill waste can be recycled, and this is a task that each household is responsible for. The best way to keep our local politicians from making bone-headed decisions about our waste is to do a better job of managing it in the home. Make environmentally conscious purchasing decisions. Separate and sort recyclables. Let’s not make it any easier for our local politicians to burn us, over and over again.

Digital dog’s creator goes old-school with print BY VOICE STAFF You know her as the Voice’s new editorial cartoonist, satirically illustrating the weekly goings-on of Pelham. But 22-year-old local Madison Geri can hit more than just the cartoonist note. Her creative range spans anywhere from clever comedic doodles to a keen eye for thrifty finds. Geri attended St. Alexander Catholic Elementary School, where her kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Cook, would save her drawings in anticipation of her artistic

fame. “When the others made flat paper houses for the classroom walls,” says Geri, “I took on ‘construction’ paper to build a three-dimensional replica of my house.” Her out-of-the-box thinking can be credited to her father, local business owner Todd Barber, who uncoincidentally designed that house. Geri followed up on her elementary years with the affiliate, Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, always choosing art as her preferred elective.

From high school, Geri packed-up and moved to Toronto, where she studied Illustration at OCAD University. It was there that she developed her comical style. “I found observational drawing boring,” she says, “So I took it upon myself to capture reality in a unrealistic way.” The variety of classes, including fashion courses at Ryerson University, shaped the “creative umbrella” under which Geri works. “The most satisfying aspect of being creative is the constant flow of ideas that run

through my head,” she says. While in Toronto, Geri got a dog, the subject of her first children’s book idea: Mortimer the Mutt. While the book remains in rough draft, Mortimer’s character can be seen on his quirky Instagram, @mortimerthemutt. Geri’s work can be found in various Pelham eateries, the tee-pee like structure at 25 Pelham Town Square, hundreds of caricatures from two consecutive years at Pelham’s Summerfest, and now a periodic editorial cartoon in our pages.

Allenburg incinerator will benefit no one

continued

Recyling man says think before you throw This letter is addressed to anyone who lives in a house or apartment and uses a blue bin for recycling. Pretty much everyone. I am your friendly neighborhood “Recycling Man.” For the past seven months I’ve been employed by a local waste management company and I’m considered a driver/loader. I spend my days alternating between driving a garbage truck (in my case, a recycling truck), and hanging on to the side and loading the recyclables into the back. I like my job. I really do. It’s physically demanding, but it keeps me active. It’s mentally challenging, but it’s giving me valuable commercial driving experience. The days are long and tiring. I wake up at 5 AM and don’t often punch out till

Page 7

after 5 PM. And the work never stops. As long as there are people in homes creating waste, there will be people like me collecting it. All that said, I would like to address a few concerns I’ve come across in my work that will hopefully make both our jobs easier. Yours as a consumer, homeowner/renter and recycler, and mine as the worker tasked with transporting your waste to the proper facility. First off, not all plastic and metal is recyclable. Just because something is made of plastic doesn’t mean it belongs in the blue bin. I’m sure there is some factory in some industrial wasteland that is capable of recycling your plastic car parts, umbrellas, kids toys, etc, but unfortunately the recycling facilities main-

tained by the Region are just not geared for that. Think of your local grocery store. Basically everything coming out there is recyclable. Except food. Please, please, please don’t put food in your blue bins. As well, not many people realize this, but food containers that are “contaminated” with excessive food residue, i.e., tomato sauce, tuna fish, cat food, are not recyclable. News Flash! The Region doesn’t hire people to clean out your jars, bottles and tins before they are recycled. These, unfortunately, end up in the landfill. Electronics of any kind are not recyclable. Clothing of any kind is not recyclable. Wood is not recyclable. See RECYCLE Page 8

No Burn Niagara is a citizens’ coalition formed to fight against a proposed waste incinerator in Niagara and to advocate for alternatives that manage our resources in a sustainable way. Citizens were alerted to the proposed waste incinerator on local media covered a Public Works meeting at the Region. The reports noted that the Region’s Public Works Committee had given the Allanburg Energy from Waste Project unanimous

endorsement to apply for an 8¢ per kilowatt hour taxpayer-funded subsidy for any energy the proposed incinerator would produce. Later that day, Thorold City Council also gave its go-ahead for the subsidy. A week later, it was also endorsed by the majority of Regional Council. All of this happened without any public consultation. It is clear from No Burn Niagara’s outreach efforts that most residents are still unaware of the proposal and

its potential impacts. The property where they plan to build the incinerator is on Allanport Road between the communities of Allanburg and Port Robinson. This land is close to significant wetlands, the Welland Canal, new subdivisions and local agriculture. The proponents said they intended to burn municipal and industrial waste in

KLEENEX, TISSUE PAPER AND SOILED PAPER TOWELS ARE NOT RECYCLABLE! (The paper fibers in Kleenex and such are too thin to be recycled and many contain oils which as well can’t be recycled.) I know that the majority of people mean well, but I think they are just not well-informed. Please don’t be offended then when you see what you thought was recyclable lying next to your blue bin after the truck has come and gone. If I was to take everything that people thought was recyclable it would be an added, unnecessary burden to the city’s resources. All the wood, clothing, electronics and food items would have to be resorted, loaded on to another truck, transported to a different

facility, and then disposed of a second time. This happens every day, and far from being “green” it is costly both in manpower and tax dollars. However, all is not doom and gloom. Most people are responsible, and good stewards of the environment. But together we can make the system more efficient and cost effective. Finally, to all the citizens who go out of their way on hot days to give us a cold bottle of water as we work, you have no idea how much your small act of kindness means to us. You are the ones who make the long hours, the sore aching muscles, and the repetitiveness of the job worth it. From all of us, thank you. Paul Mullin Ridgeville

INCINERATOR continued from Page 8 the incinerator. They also said they could excavate and burn waste from old landfill sites. The proposal raised immediate concerns from residents of these communities because of its location near residential housing. Also the location is on a two-lane road, with frequently used intersecting train tracks, and is close to the Allanburg Lift Bridge on Hwy. 20 — meaning possibly hundreds of garbage trucks a day idling at the bridge and moving through the community. As residents learned more about incineration, they also became gravely concerned about the human health impacts of its emissions, their impact on the area’s agriculture and wine in-

No Burn Niagara says the new incinerator in Durham Region, which is the only incinerator in Ontario burning municipal waste, provides a cautionary tale.

Like Niagara Region, Durham was promised a clean and modern Waste to Energy Incinerator with minimal risks to human health and the environment, but both boilers exceeded limits in the first stack testing performed in September and October 2015. During a re-test, as an article in The Toronto Star noted: “one of the two boilers at the plant exceeded the limits set by the Ministry of Environment for dioxins and furans by almost 12 times.” Dioxins and furans are highly toxic by-products of incineration that pose a human health threat through inhalation, and by ingesting food products grown in soils contaminated by these emissions. According to the incinerator proponents’ own report to Council, the proposed Allanburg incinerator will produce a toxic stew of

chemicals. No Burn Niagara says not only are modern incineration plants hazardous to the environment and to human health, they have a history of repeated economic failures. We ask why should taxpayer subsidies continue to be used for supporting failed technology? No Burn Niagara wants

to turn the focus to “Zero Waste” and advocate for waste management policies and practices that focus on waste reduction by reusing, recycling and composting. Since the introduction of the blue and green bins Niagara Region has been able to divert 51.5% of its waste from landfills but there is still a lot of room for im-

provement. The Region of Peel has recently rejected incineration and the City of Markham is leading the Province with a diversion rate of 81%. No Burn Niagara believes now is not the time to support a costly, unproven and polluting incinerator. Alysha Browning Thorold

IN THE NEWS Police arrest mobile drug dealer

Earlier this month, members of the Niagara Regional Police Street Crime Unit commenced an investigation into a male suspected of conducting mobile drug transactions in Niagara. On August 5, police observed several suspected drug transactions by this individual. Police stopped the man and subsequently located $1,100 worth of cocaine. As a result, police arrested a 26-year-old Thorold man, and charged him with possession of a schedule 1 substance for the purpose of trafficking.

The 54-year-old cyclist was in critical condition and was transported to a local hospital before being air-lifted to an out-of-town hospital where he remains in critical but stable condition. The driver of the pickup, a 31-year-old St. Catharines man, later returned to the scene of the collision and was arrested by police. He is facing criminal charges for failing to stop at the scene of an accident causing bodily harm.

Man caught driving 73km/h over limit

Last Friday, members of the Niagara Regional Police Service Traffic Enforcement Unit attended South Grimsby Road 8 in response to a complaint of drivers speeding on the road. Several Provincial Offence Notices were issued for speeding, and one driver was charge with Stunting for driving 143 km/h in a 70 km/h zone. The 32-yearold male driver from West Lincoln will have his driver licence suspended and the vehicle impounded for seven days.
