Prison sentence for hit-and-run driver

Parched

In plea deal, Fenwick man receives 12-month sentence, driving ban BY ZACH JUNKIN

The VOICE

Sharon Flagg and her family can finally begin to move on from the accident that shattered their lives more than a year ago. In the early morning hours of April 3, 2015, Sharon’s daughter, Faith, was struck by a car along the north boulevard on Canboro Road between Church Hill and Haist Street. She had been with a group of friends outside a small house party. The vehicle, heading westbound, left the road and struck Faith, then 17, throwing her several meters. An 18-year-old male was struck in the arm trying to pull her to safety. The driver of the vehicle, later identified as Anderson

Wormald of Fenwick, continued without stopping. The following morning, a Good Samaritan located his vehicle in the parking lot of an apartment building at the corner of Canboro Road and Balfour Street in Fenwick. Following an investigation, police charged Wormald with Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle Causing Bodily and Dangerous Driving Causing Bodily Harm. Faith Flagg suffered severe and long-term injury as a result of the accident, which has seriously affected her cognitive functions and has kept her in and out of the hospital for the past 16 months. Faith’s mother was forced to leave her job in order to care for Faith full See SENTENCE Page 3

“Selling Throughout Niagara”

On Monday, June 27, a male suspect entered an LCBO store on Ontario Street in Lincoln. The suspect approached the cash register pretending to make a purchase and brandished a firearm while demanding cash. The suspect removed the entire cash till, which contained a quantity of money and stuffed it into a black bag. The suspect then fled the store, and seconds later a dark-coloured pickup truck with a cap covering the cargo bed squealed its tires and left the parking lot at a high rate of speed. The suspect is described as male, with a dark complexion (possibly tanned) , 5’10” to 6’ tall, approximately 40 years of age, wearing a green camouflaged Toronto Blue Jays hat, black sunglasses, grey t-shirt, and black pants. Anyone with information pertaining to the incident is asked to contact the Niagara Regional Police.

Fatal collision on Victoria Avenue

Last Saturday at approximately 1:10 p.m., the Niagara Regional Police Service, the Niagara Emergency Medical Services and the Lincoln Fire Services responded to a report of a motor vehicle collision on Victoria Avenue at 2nd Avenue in the Town of Lincoln. Initial investigation revealed that a 2008 Hyundai Accent was being operated westbound on 2nd Avenue and that the 81-year-old female driver was making a

left turn onto Victoria Avenue when she drove into the path of a 2008 Subaru Impreza that was northbound on Victoria Avenue and being driven by a 41-year-old male. The Subaru collided with the driver’s door of the Hyundai. A third vehicle involved was a 2006 Chevrolet Aveo driven by a 72-yearold female that was southbound on Victoria Avenue and in the left turn lane for 2nd Avenue. The Chevrolet collided with the rear of the Hyundai. The driver of the Hyundai succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. There were two elderly female passengers in the Hyundai who were transported to hospital, one with non-life-threatening injuries, while the second female had to be taken to a Hamilton Hospital in critical condition. The driver of the Chevrolet suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital. The two occupants of the Subaru were assessed by ambulance staff and released at the scene. The collision remains under investigation.

Child pornography charges laid in Niagara Falls

On June 27, the Niagara Regional Police Internet Child Exploitation Unit, with the assistance of the Technological Crimes Unit, executed a Criminal Code Search Warrant at a Niagara Falls residence. As a result of the investigation, a 20-year-old Niagara Falls resident has been charged with possession of child pornography and accessing child pornography contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada.

Police begin “Project Off-Road”

During the summer months the Niagara Regional Police will be enhancing enforcement efforts in relation to off-road motor vehicles, in direct response to an increase in complaints received from concerned members within the community. Vehicles such as dirt bikes and ATVs are frequently being operated in various prohibited areas within the City of Welland, including property owned by the St Lawrence Seaway, CN Rail, Hydro, and the City of Welland. The NRP with support from the City of Welland and the St Lawrence Seaway will be conducting “Project OffRoad” in an effort to enhance the safety and lawful enjoyment of property for all citizens. “Project Off-Road” focuses on enforcement of the Highway Traffic Act,

Motorcycle fatality

On Wednesday, June 29th, the Niagara Emergency Medical Services, Niagara Regional Police Service and Welland Fire Services were dispatched for a motor vehicle collision on Moyer Road south of Carl Road in Welland. Initial investigation revealed that a 47-year-old Welland male was riding his 1996 Harley-Davidson motorcycle northbound on Moyer Road behind a group of six other motorcycles. The man entered the southbound lane on Moyer Road and began accelerating. He then collided head on with a southbound 2011 Dodge Caliber driven by a 72-year-old female Welland resident. The motorcycle rider suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Coroner. The driver of the Dodge was airlifted to a HamSee IN THE NEWS Page 3

Ker says he understands the excitement that can come with naming a new school, but thinks that a different decision would have been reached if people had all the facts. “If the students had all of the information in front of them, then I’m not sure that they would pick the name Wellington Heights.” Ker insists that this isn’t necessarily about keeping the current name, but simply recognizing a poor

Though the Board refused to rescind their decision, Ker and the other residents in his group will continue to resist the new name. They plan to write to the Minister of Education, and the Ontario Ombudsman, and have scheduled a meeting with MPP Hudak to see what other levels of government can do to help them. transit than from conventional transit,” he said.

Bandshell Series

BY ZACH JUNKIN

The VOICE

If you like to fish, you may have noticed some unfamiliar species showing up in your favourite lakes and rivers over the years. Goby, snakehead, zebra mussels: these aren’t part of a natural evolution that is shaping the way fish and other organisms get into our waterways — they are part of a disturbing and stubborn trend that has serious consequences for all. Alien species are plants and animals introduced, by human action, outside their natural range. Invasive species are ones whose spread can threaten the environ-

ment, the economy, or your health. According to the federal government, invasive plants cost the agriculture and forest industries in Canada about $7.3 billion annually. In Ontario, the impacts from zebra mussels alone cost between $75 million and $91 million per year. Invasive species commonly hitch rides on boats, trailers, boating and fishing equipment, including bait buckets. Impacts from aquatic invasive species are broad and can include reducing the number of native fish, and causing problems for native mussels (many of which are at risk). They can also damage the

natural beauty of our lakes and waterways. There are a number of ways Ontarians can limit the spread of these invaders. Properly disposing of live bait, ensuring that boats and live wells are completely drained before transport, removing plants and mussels when moving from lake to lake, and regularly washing watercraft are just a few simple steps that can help keep local ecosystems healthy. Ontarians can report sightings of invasive species by calling the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters’ Invading Species Hotline at 1-800-563-7711, or by emailing info@invadingspecies.com. Reports can also now be filed via computer or smartphone using the EDDMapS Ontario system.

1% tax-hike proposed At last week’s Niagara Regional Council meeting, Council directed staff to undertake 2017 budget preparations with a tax levy increase of 1%. According to the Region, for the average homeowner with a property valued at $240,500, a 1% increase on the Regional portion of their property taxes would be about $14 per year. Regional staff will now spend the next several months developing budget options for council’s consideration and approval, as well as undertaking public engagement on budget options. These options will be presented to Council in the fall when the budget review committee resumes deliberations.

Golf tournament raises $10,000 to support kids’ breakfasts Peninsula Lakes Golf Club in Fonthill was the picturesque setting for the 4th Annual Sobeys Golf Tournament in support of Niagara Nutrition Partners. The Niagara-wide student nutrition programs are a vital part of the day for more than 17,000 children in the Niagara Region, giving chil-

dren access to healthy, balanced meals and snacks regardless of socio-economic status. NNP is dedicated to organizing, educating and equipping over 200 existing school programs and hundreds of volunteers who run individual programs in schools, handling every-

thing from food purchasing, preparation, serving and clean up. The goals of the programs are to provide children with the necessary nutritional fuel required for energy, concentration and ultimately an increased chance of success at school. NNP works with elementary and

secondary schools within the District School Board of Niagara, the Niagara Catholic District School Board, and the CSD - Catholic Centre - Sud. In addition to provincial government grants, NNP relies on community fundraisers like the Sobey’s golf tournament for 85 per cent of annual costs.

Traditional tunes with a twist BY JIM CASSON

Special to the VOICE

For 16 years, Les Tireux d’Roches (in English, “The Rock Throwers”) have been playing traditional music with an innovative and creative touch. These storytellers, singers and musicians have developed a unique repertoire of traditional tales and songs that takes their audiences on a fantastic musical voyage to an imaginary New-Worldof-old. Having performed more than 450 concerts across Canada and Europe, they’ve developed an uncanny knack for delighting and electrifying crowds. Hailing from a region overflowing with creativity, this colourful crew immersed themselves in Québec tradition while keeping open to the new sounds and influences drawn from the contemporary world milieu. Their unique and offthe-wall folk/trad style

combines both traditional and unconventional instrumentation into an expressive arsenal of sound. Live on stage, they dish out effervescent music that just makes you want to dance. They are on the road a lot, most recently appearing at the Sound of the Xity (China), in New York and in various locations across Quebec. Coming up, they’ll be in France and Germany. In 2013, they released their fifth album, XO 15 ans d’age, in celebration of their 15th anniversary. The rock-throwing quintet includes Denis Masse (storytelling, accordion, vocals), Dominic Lemieux (guitar, Irish bouzouki, banjo, vocals), Pascal “Per” Veillette (harmonica, deluxe foot-tapping, vocals), Luc Murphy (flute, sax, clarinet) and David Robert (percussion, vocals).

NRP bust cocaine network

In the winter of 2016 the Central Region Street Crime Unit became aware of a drug dealing network that was distributing cocaine throughout Port Colborne, Fort Erie, Niagara Falls, and Welland. An investigation was launched, and on Wednesday June 29, police executed 11 simultaneous Controlled Drug and Substance Act search warrants on houses and vehicles in Port Colborne, Wainfleet, Fort Erie, Welland, and Niagara Falls. As a result, police charged six people from across the region and seized cocaine valued at over $10,000, marijuana valued at over $10,000, 3 prohibited weapons, and over $22,000 in cash.

Niagara GO service confirmed

Last week, the Province unveiled long-awaited plans

to bring daily GO Train service to Niagara. Minister of Transportation Stephen Del Duca made the announcement at the St. Catharines train station, stating that GO Transit will be extended first to Grimsby at Casablanca in 2021 and then to Niagara Falls by 2023. In a joint statement, Regional Chair Alan Caslin and all 12 of Niagara’s mayors wrote “There is now a firm timeline and we look forward to working with Metrolinx and the Province on this important service for Niagara residents. Strengthening our connection to and from the GTHA enhances our ability to attract new people to Niagara, creating new opportunities for job creation and business expansion.” MPP Tim Hudak noted that extended GO service will be a boon to people in the region. “This is very encouraging news for Niagara residents, Niagara businesses and commuters in the Region,” he said. Though excited by the announcement, a number of Niagara’s politicians would like to see the timeline improved. Among them is Transportation Critic and NDP MPP Wayne Gates. “I spoke with the Minister before the announcement and I raised my concerns over the timeline — I

told him I am not willing to wait until 2023,” said Gates. “I committed to work with the Minister to see this project completed, but I let him know I’m not going to stop pushing for a better timeline. The GO train must come to Niagara Falls before 2023.”Construction is scheduled to begin in 2017.

NPCA prohibits public access to Wainfleet Bog

Due to the unseasonably dry conditions, Fire and Emergency Services of the Township of Wainfleet recently issued a burn ban for all agricultural, residential and commercial properties. Subsequently, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority announced last week that public access to the Wainfleet Bog is prohibited. Internationally recognized for its ecological significance, the Wainfleet Bog is a unique ecosystem, and the largest least disturbed bog in Southern Ontario. The Bog provides habitat for many birds, butterflies and reptiles including several species at risk, as well as being a significant source of water for area streams. In 2012, a fire at the Wainfleet Bog smouldered and burned for three weeks until the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry sent staff to extinguish it. The battle took ten days to win.

Rally to save Thundering Waters Forest

he Thundering Waters T Forest is currently slated for a wholesale destruction by development by the Chinese GR (Can) Investment Co. Ltd. There has not been official and full recognition of the value of this land asset by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, the Niagara Falls Council or Regional Council, the Provincial government or the Federal government. This despite the fact that destruction of a forest of this size is virtually unprecedented in the Niagara area in recent times and challenges the principles of the Treaty of Niagara. Members of the local Indigenous community and allies are rallying to, “Put a moratorium on the development of the Thundering Waters Forest until a clear, transparent, public process can decisively establish the full social, environmental and economic benefit of this forest remaining completely intact.” The rally will take place from 6 to 7 PM on July 7 at the courtyard in front of Niagara Falls City Hall and include a traditional big drum, women’s hand drum singers, speakers from the Indigenous community, allies and environmentalists.

East Fonthill Theatre presents The Tragedy of the Commons

Hudak offers potential assistance on E.W. Farr issue

The first performance at the East Fonthill Theatre is set to be a tragedy. It won’t be Othello, or Romeo and Juliet, or Macbeth (though a few of those characters may look all too familiar to Pelham residents). No, it will instead be the Tragedy of the Commons. What light through yonder window breaks? The harsh light of economic reality. There was a time, surely, when Council might have flinched at a $5.5 million dollar debenture for a woonerf, but those days have gone the way of primogeniture. Now, damned be the Councillor that first cries “Hold, enough!” when it comes to spending. It seems that the Comfort Maple must march on Town Hall before the powers that be will deny any staff request for funds, no matter how big the number or bizarre the project. This time around, staff and Pelham’s political betters are touting the fact that half the funds will be coming from a government grant.

I attended the Niagara School Board meeting last Monday. Kevin Ker gave a wonderful presentation showing that Wellington Heights “never happened” and that it has no historical meaning to the Town of Pelham and particularly the Village of Fenwick. The Trustees were also given a printout of the 460 people who signed the online petition and the originals of paper petitions that were signed by 300 people. After Kevin gave his presentation, there were some questions from a couple of trustees and then a motion was put forward asking the Board to re-examine the name choice. The motion was seconded. Now, the vote—EVERYONE else voted against it! What a let-down! Kevin worked hard for so many hours researching the history of Wellington Heights and we all felt this would prove to the Board that their choice was inappropriate. I sent out emails to all the Trustees and told them how disappointed we were. One Trustee was kind

Shipwreck victims shouldn’t stop swimming just because they might drown So, if the Town’s application is approved, it will only cost $2.5 million! Pelham practically makes money on that deal! Woo-hoo woonerf! We’re saving a ton, and all we have to do is spend more. Aside from the fact that a $2.5 million budget item deserves more consideration than a Venetian senator brushing away a fly, Canadians need to become more cognizant of the fact that federal and provincial money doesn’t fall out of the sky (though it often seems to disappear down a hole or two). The government’s sole source of income is your

pocket. So yes, everyone wants as much federal money as they can get. But when a municipality acts in its self-interest, it is not always acting in its best interest. Encouraging governments to dip into a neighbours pocket today only ensures they’ll dip into your pocket tomorrow. “But they’ll do that anyway,” cry the apologists. Maybe. Shipwreck victims shouldn’t stop swimming just because they might drown. Better to try for solid ground then attempt to beat the other passengers to the bottom. People don’t need to spend money just because they have it. This is especially true when all a person really has is credit, and the actual cash is just a pipe-dream down the road. Council’s propensity for spending, which has culminated in what is now a $40 million-plus spree in East Fonthill, is going to come back to haunt them, and leave the ratepayers trying to wash the stain off their hands.

Even in our courts there is a chance of appeal, and... a new trial

enough to send me the rules they had to follow stated in the Ontario Education Act. It states that a Trustee has to uphold the implementation of any board resolution after it is passed by the board. Basically, their hands were tied. I have tried to find a way to appeal or have the decision re-examined, but not being a lawyer, I am having a problem with the Ontario Education Act. Even in our courts, there is a chance of appeal, and, if new evidence is brought forward, a new trial. It’s a shame that the name selection committee did not at least look at the other school names in the town: Glynn A Green—after a prominent citizen of Fonthill who gave back so much

to the community. A.K. Wigg—long time and esteemed Principal of Fonthill Public School. E.L. Crossley—Principal of Pelham High School in Fenwick and then supervising Principal of Pelham High, Thorold Fonthill and E.L.Crossley Schools. Even our parks are named for local people: Gord Klager Park, a long time business owner and Fonthill Lion. Harold Black Park, a former mayor. Marlene Stewart Streit Park, after our renowned golfer. And the Fenwick Lions Park is named after our Fabulous Fenwick Lions. How does Wellington Heights fit? Fenwick is not a “Heights” and Wellington was not a citizen of this town, province, or country! However, I have received a call from Tim Hudak’s office. He is coming on Friday, July 15th at 9:30 a.m. to Keith’s Restaurant in Fonthill to meet with all of us and see what he can do to help.

Oh Canada: Holiday celebrated with gusto despite downpours BY VOICE STAFF On Friday, July 1, Pelham residents celebrated Canada Day with a number of events around the municipality. It was a soggy start as the Rotary Club kicked things off in the morning by hosting children’s activities in Harold Black Park. Luckily the rain took a detour before the Grand Parade got underway at 1 PM. The parade, consisting of fire trucks, marching bands and local sports clubs among others, began at A.K Wigg Public School and made its way down to Har-

old Black. After Mayor Augustyn’s opening remarks, celebrants were treated to music, free cake provided by Fonthill Sobeys, and a variety of shows throughout the afternoon. Meanwhile, at Peace Park in Town Square, guests could enjoy more Canada Day birthday cake while partaking in the musical entertainment by Honest Frankie. The celebrations culminated later that evening with the annual fireworks display back at Harold Black Park, capped off by a brief but torrential downpour.

Welland land sale bodes ill for Pelham It was recently reported that the City of Welland sold a 7.4 acre plot of land for $1.7 million dollars. Backing out servicing costs, this means that the land sold for $200,000 an acre. Meanwhile, a short distance down the road, Pelham’s Mayor Augustyn has stated that he expects to get $800,000 per acre for some Town land that he used to finance his community centre. What’s wrong with this picture? Why would any sane developer want to pay four times the cost per acre so that the Mayor can pay for his white elephant.

Mind you the Mayor’s land probably does have something that the Welland plot does not have: a nicer view of Thorold, where many of the Community Centre users are expected to come from—without the 30-year tax burden. I expect that the highfives by the City of Welland staff, celebrating the $500,000 profit made on the land sale, will be shortlived when they realize that it will probably be usurped by the Region of Niagara as part of their portion of the $36.2 Pelham debt that the Region co-signed.

Resident remembers E.W. Farr I am writing this letter concerning the name change of E.W Farr school to Wellington Heights. As one who was born and raised in Fenwick I feel I should share my feelings on this matter. I am in my 80s now and I can vividly remember E.W. Farr as a teacher, and as a Principal (and an excel-

lent one at that). Why they would want to change the name of the school is beyond me. I am very proud of Fenwick and its history. I hope the DSBN will rethink their decision and leave the name of the school E.W Farr. Marilyn J. Kowalski Fenwick

This week in baseball BY MELISSA WELLS

Special to the VOICE

On Thursday June 30th the Bromac Construction Mosquitos took the field against Beamsville #2 team. It was a slow start to what turned out to be a great game for Pelham. After a few tough calls in the first things started to pick up in the fourth, and it was tied 6-6. Excitement started to rev up in the fifth when Trevor Heaslip hit a grand slam for his second home run of the game. Isabella Michael made perfect contact with the ball for a beautiful line drive to the pitcher but was caught before she

could make a run for first base. Still a very exciting hit for her! Tom Harrington pitched well, with 3 up and 3 down in the first. While William Horton had a slow start and loaded the bases, he changed it up and struck the next three out, keeping the score 3-3 in third. The game ended 16-6 for Pelham, a great comeback after losing the 3 prior games. The Pelham Medical Associates Mosquito Rep team recorded some tough losses this week, going up against AA Niagara Falls Majors at home and suffering a heartbreaker in Beamsville the See BASEBALL Page 7

Valedictorian’ address: An excerpt E.L Crossley’s 2016 Valedictorian was Katrina Foster. Below is an excerpt from Ms. Foster’s Valedictorian address. When people told me that these four years would fly by I never believed them. But standing here today almost feels like it’s been a minute since we were in grade

8, and these years have been moving in fast-forward. I emphasize the ‘almost’ since we all know those hours of math homework made the days feel like they would never end. Forever the words “practice makes perfect” will be ingrained in my head, while my calculus mark blatantly disagrees.

It feels like just yesterday when we awkwardly huddled together to avoid the inevitable fate of ‘pass the grapefruit’ on grade 9 day. Though, we soon realized that these people would become some of our closest friends. Together we have endured, conquered, laughed, and shed a few

ur o g n i c n Annou W ALL NE

& o c a T l l e ! h a S z z t i f So n Fiesta P a c i x e M

tears. I’m lucky enough to be able to say I made great friends, with some pretty spectacular memories like all of us have. A part of me wishes I had extra time to get to know some of you a little bit better, but the pages of this chapter have almost run out and a new one calls us forward.

Family’s message of thanks We also want to thank the ambulance crew who kept him comfortable during his trip to the Welland hospital. Thank you to the doctors and nurses, especially the nurses on the 6th floor who have given him extra special care as he continues to recover in the hospital. Paul and his wife were kind enough to take the time to come and visit Mike in the hospital. This was a special moment for Mike as he had been talking so much about this man who had rescued him when he thought that he was never going to be found. He remembers his ATV ride to safety and continues to talk about it. There are no words to express how grateful our family is. Thank you to all.

We appreciate the kindness and assistance from our friends, family, neighbours, employees of Enercare and Grimsby Power, along with the community. Most of all we thank Paul Damude of The Apple Spot at 1827 Cataract Road in Fonthill, who explored his large property several times close to our home on his ATV.

T’S TEN O’CLOCK at night, and I’m parked in front of the TV surfing mindlessly between TSN and Peter Mansbridge. TSN lost my loyalty the 432nd time they showed the Bautista bat flip on their top 10, and I still hold a grudge with Mansbridge for dumping Wendy 25 years ago, so drastic action is needed. It’s time to try my first night trail run. The only headlamp available is an LED camping light, but if I wear my wife’s too, the illumination is pretty good. I discover I can work out a high beam, low beam system if I angle them just right on my forehead. In case I hit the strobe button by mistake, I carry a halogen flashlight which has a hand grip and gun-like trigger; quite reassuring in the dark. I’m not real courageous at night. As an eight-year-old, pre V-chip, I saw the part of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein where the Wolfman emerges from the closet to dine on Lou Costello. To this day, I sleep with the closet door open. As I nervously approach the section of the Bauer trail closest to our home, I’m in total darkness. It’s time to hit the headlights.

blinds me. Deep breath, okay, we’re cool. When I step past the reflectors, everything beyond my narrow shaft of running light is coal black. My first thoughts are

I whip out my halogen flashlight, pull the trigger, scream at the mutt, and to my astonishment... pragmatic. Is my headlamp bright enough for me to differentiate between crisp, recently spread ash chips and noncrisp dog deposits on the trail? Twenty strides later, I hear something rushing toward me from the rear. I have to look back to see what’s stalking me, which immediately turns the path ahead, my escape route, into a dark void. Fortunately, the noise is merely a babbling brook that shifted my imagination into overdrive. As I get comfortable running the trail, I glance up. Light reflecting from the pale underside of pointy sumac leaves transform them into rows of velociraptor teeth. I’m in the mists of Jurassic Park. A bark and growl rip me out of this imaginary world. My bluish LED lights find this Hound of the Baskervilles’ visage: glowing, jade-coloured eyes outlined by black ears and neck hairs standing erect. I whip out my halogen flashlight, pull the trigger, scream at the mutt, and to my astonishment, it flees. I’m hoping the perspiration enveloping my forehead won’t short-circuit the lamps and electrocute me. This is certainly more exciting than a daytime run. For a short distance the trail becomes more remote, and dodging roots and holes without losing the path demands intense concentration. As the route widens and the surface improves, the run starts to be fun. Running in a tunnel of light with few reference points, you sense you’re moving faster than you actually are; always good for the ego. Confident now the plants won’t bite, the headlamp-glow on wildflowers and trailside bushes becomes quite beautiful, and the quiet is eerily peaceful. The effort to stay on trail, dodge obstacles, and maintain pace adds a mental element to night running that a track or street can’t duplicate; and the decision-making required with each stride is invigorating. Every noise and rustle in the night has me envisioning the ghosts of John and Agnes Brown, or the Pelham-Clintons, walking the early paths of Pelham. If they, or the Wolfman, don’t get me tonight, I’ll have to try this again.

OBITUARIES

HOLMAN, James Edward May 14, 1924 - July 1, 2016 Boyhood dreams of adventure and Alaska and aviation were interrupted by a world war from which he returned never again quite the same man he had been, yet still managed an iconoclastic and celebrated life through his woodworking and other skills but especially through the ‘Red House Brigade’ and the 33-foot Bear Dancer ‘North canoe’ which brought him into contact with people from all walks of life, all of them bound together by a love of far places and life lead long ago, something reflected also in his years of traditional artisan pursuits. Overheard in a Fenwick restaurant, someone called him the man with the ‘golden hands.’ He passed away peacefully on Canada Day, Friday, July 1, 2016 in his 93rd year at the Welland Hospital. Beloved Husband of Marion Bessie Holman (Nee Detlor), predeceased.

Dear father of Dan Holman, Pat Holman-Moreau, Stephen Holman (Pauline) and Jean Henney. Cherished grandfather of Manny Kudlak (Kim), Shelley Brook, Mike Scarlett (Christa) and Veronica Henney (John). Great grandfather of 4 and great, great grandfather of 1. Predeceased by his brother Fred and sisterin-law Joan and brothers-in-law Hugh and Harold (survived by their wives Alice and Mary Helen). Repatriated to Canada from Italy where he fought with the 48th Highlander during WW II following an encounter with an incoming mortar, he was a man of great patience and tolerance. A gifted fine antiques restorer and woodworker, canoe builder, luthier and artisan in many mediums he was well regarded among his peers and acolytes and had the distinction of building a pair of his folding canoe chairs for Prince Andrew and new bride Sarah Ferguson for their Canadian Arctic honeymoon trip. Along the way he also penned a book, “D-Day Dodger: The story of a Canadian Foot Soldier in Italy” Jim (Jas, Jasbo) was a son, brother, husband, father, friend, mentor, business person and much, much more. There will be a family-only interment but all his friends will be received at a celebration of his life on Monday, July 25, 2016, from 2 - 4 pm, at the Old Town Hall in Pelham. The family also very much wishes to express their thanks to all the caregivers and staff who comforted him. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to the Salvation Army via the JAMES L. PEDLAR FUNERAL HOME, Fonthill. Condolences can be shared at www.pedlarfuneralhome.ca

FILBERT, Anthony John On July 1, 2016, held in the loving arms of his family, our beloved Anthony passed to eternal grace with our Lord. Anthony met this passing with the same dignity and courage with which he lived his life. Beloved husband of Lynda Filbert, with whom he shared more than 40 years of blessed matrimony. Loving father of Sarah VanDerLee (John) and Dr. Katharine “Katie” Filbert. Beloved son of Elizabeth and the late John Filbert and predeceased by his grandparents

Antonio and Adelaide Pagotto. Cherished grandfather of Justin Anthony and William John. Dear brother of Linda Armstrong (Michael). Lovingly remembered by his nephews and their wives, John and Rhonda; and Matthew and Jane. Anthony’s incredible faith and trust in the Lord sustains us still. His incredible spirit will always be in our hearts, in those whose lives he touched and in his children and grandchildren. Anthony attended Denis Morris High School and Ridley College. Anthony met his wife Lynda while both were employed as Correctional Officers. Shortly after they married, Anthony joined the London Life Insurance Company. In 1976, Anthony found his true calling and established “Filbert Heirloom Hand Refinishing”. For more than four decades, Anthony passed on a legacy of the hand refinished preservation of fine furniture to the families of the Niagara Region and beyond. The family extends their deepest gratitude to the Most Reverend Bishop John Knight who was his close friend and spiritual mentor, Reverend Deacon Jim McLaughlin for his continuing spiritual support and friendship, Father Chad Grennan and all of the friends who supported Anthony with their prayers and intercessions during his long

journey. Our family is deeply grateful to Laurie and Kim from St. Elizabeth’s Nurses and Robert from Care Partners for their compassionate and gentle care through Anthony’s long journey. Thank you also to Dr. Dooler, Dr. Horning, Dr. Juergens, Dr. Wasserman and Muggs. Friends and family will be received at the JAMES L. PEDLAR FUNERAL HOME, 1292 Pelham Street, Fonthill on Wednesday, July 6th from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm with Vigil prayers being said at 7:00 pm. The funeral mass to honour Anthony’s life will take place at St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church, 834 Canboro Road, Fenwick on Thursday, July 7th at 11:00 am. A reception will immediately follow at Peninsula Lakes Golf Club, 569 Highway 20 West, Fenwick. Internment will take place on Monday, July 11th at Victoria Lawn Cemetery, Queenston Street St. Catharine’s at 11:00 am. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Online condolences may be place at www.pedlarfuneralhome.ca “Well done good and faithful servant!”
