Renowned Pelham trainer houses Fort McMurray sniffer dogs Close-knit training community comes together for canine refugees BY ZACH JUNKIN
The VOICE
Pelham’s Sid Murray is a world-renowned dog trainer and detection dog expert. He has worked around the globe, training police and military dogs for a number of institutions, as well as working with bomb-sniffing dogs to detect and remove land mines in places like Kosovo, Beirut, and Croatia. He also does extensive work with explosive and accelerant detection dogs for a fire investigation company in Ancaster. Though all of this keeps Murray busy, he didn’t have to think twice when Alberta’s Pike Security asked him to take in Bella and Alice, two drug-sniffing dogs left
homeless by the fires ravaging Fort McMurray. The detection dog training community is close-knit, and Murray was eager to help his fellow trainers in any way he could. “The house was levelled, the kennel was levelled, all their vehicles were levelled, and they got out just in time with the motorhome,” explained Murray. “They left and went south and now they are just surviving.” After some hasty arrangements, which included a free flight for the animals courtesy of Westjet, the dogs arrived safely in Ontario a week and a half ago. “I picked them up Saturday and here they are,” Murray said. Bella and Alice will be in good company at Murray’s

BY VOICE STAFF Two Glenn A. Green students are basking in the glow of gold medals this week after their team won the 14u division at Volleyball Canada’s National Tournament on May 8th.
Hannah Holmwood and Emma Hilts are eighth grade students at the school. They are avid volleyball players, having competed for a number of years on school teams and in competitive local leagues.
ara Rapids. The three-day event was held at Carleton University in Ottawa. “We only lost two out of nine,” said Holmwood. “We played The Hamilton Hurricanes in a championship game near the end of day on Sunday. We took them in two sets,” said Hilts. That was a welcome change from their results at the provincial tournament in Kitchener last month, where the team had seen their record reversed to 2-9. The girls, however, did not let that result shake them. “Maybe we weren’t as
confident as we could have been, but we really gelled as a team and peaked at the right time,” said Hilts. Hilts was a big part of the National Championship game, and was named the MVP of the match. At just 5 feet tall, the 13-year-old brings a lot of grit and determination to the court. “I’m a setter,” she explained. “I have to bring my strength and speed to the game, I’ve got to be tough.” At 5’9, the taller Holmwood says she has much different responsibilities: “I’m a blocker, so I have to stuff the ball back at them.” With the season finished for the year, Hilts plans to play beach volleyball, while Holmwood will be doing a lot of horseback riding. Both girls will be ready when the season starts up again, though with Holmwood planning to attend Notre Dame, they may be facing each other as school rivals. Either way, they plan to enjoy themselves. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” they said.
BY VOICE STAFF A young Pelham boy remains in intensive care after a lawnmower accident last week in rural Pelham. On Thursday, May 19th, Police, Emergency Medical Services, and volunteer firefighters responded to reports of a 3-year-old boy being run over by a riding lawn mower on the family’s residential property in North Pelham. According to police, the boy’s father had been cutting grass on a riding lawn mower. The toddler had previously gone into the house, but unbeknownst to his father had come back outside. As the man cut the front lawn, the boy followed behind the mower. At some point, the man reversed the machine and it struck the See ACCIDENT Page 5

IN THE NEWS Fare-free transit on the horizon?
Welland child nearly drowns
Staff will present an economic sustainability proposal to the Committee of the Whole on Monday, June 6, about Pelham Transit options, including offering a fare-free service to increase ridership and attract sponsorships. Pelham currently offers public transit from North Pelham to Fenwick, Ridgeville, Fonthill, Niagara College and the Seaway Mall, at $3 a fare. For more information, visit pelham. ca/transit.
On Saturday afternoon, Emergency Medical Services responded to a Welland area residence after a young child, who was attending a backyard pool party, was found unresponsive at the bottom of the pool. CPR was started immediately by onscene adults and the child was revived. A full recovery is expected. Traditionally the May Holiday long weekend marks the opening of backyard pools in the Niagara Region. The Niagara Regional Police would like to remind everyone who has a backyard pool to carefully watch children at all times.

Fenwick Lions Carnival forecasts fireworks and fun Multiple events over three days offer something for the whole family BY VOICE STAFF The Fenwick Lions Carnival is back in town this weekend, with food, fireworks, and fun for the whole family. This year’s event will feature many of the rides and attractions that carnival-goers have grown to love, and will see the return of Tom Bishop and Company’s Wild West Show, featuring cowgirls, gunslingers, and plenty of horses. “It’s one of the biggest family events in Pelham,” said Lion Jeff Pickup. “It’s something that the Lions
do to give back to the community, to thank them for the support they give us throughout the year.” The carnival will kick off at 7:00pm on Friday May 27 with the annual parade following its usual route along Balfour and Canboro Road before turning down Church Street for the final stretch. Saturday’s activities will include the Lioness penny sale, a plant auction (2:30pm), and the Wild West Show (1:30pm & 4:30pm). And, of course, guests will be treated to the annual fireworks display beginning at 10:00pm.
Sunday will wind the weekend down with the Purina Walk for Dog Guides at noon, which raises money to offset the high costs of training and placing a dog guide for those in need. Throughout the weekend patrons will be able to take part in the fantastic food, games, and rides that have become synonymous with the carnival. Wrist bands for unlimited carnival rides can be purchased at the Fenwick, Fonthill, and North Pelham Avondale stores for a discounted price of $20.
Tom Bishop and Company’s Wild West Show will be performing on Saturday.
Auxiliary NRP inspector honoured On Sunday May 15, 2016, the Niagara Regional Police Service hosted their Annual Awards ceremony at John Michael’s Banquet & Conference Centre in Thorold. The Niagara Regional Police Service together with the Niagara Regional Police Services Board and the Senior Officers Association formally recognized service members for outstanding police work or exemplary community service. The ceremony also recognized members of the community for acts of self-sacrifice, bravery or actions that assist the police service which far exceed those expected of a citizen. A number of awards were presented throughout the event, including Police Services Board Commendations, Chief of Police Commendations for Outstanding Police Work, and Chief of Police Commendations for Citizens, and the Services recognition of recently retired members. A Police Service Board Award of Excellence was presented to Auxiliary Inspector Bruce Dressel for his

May 18th was the last day our doors were open for full service at our Maple Acre branch. We are now in the process of clearing out any remaining materials, furnishings, and equipment before turning the facility over to the construction manager. The long awaited expansion project is set to get underway in early June. While we are excited to see work get started, there will be some service disruption over the next six months. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience. We trust that the disruption will all be worth it when the new, larger facility re-opens. There will still be library service in Fenwick during construction. Through the generous support of the Pelham Fire Service and Fenwick Volunteer Firefighters Association we will be offering limited service at the Fenwick fire hall three times a week beginning on May 30th.

Stay healthy at the beach When a town is sandwiched between two Great Lakes, the arrival of the warm weather inevitably inspires the occasional trip to the beach. Niagara Region Public Health encourages those beach-goers to monitor water data and avoid habits that increase the risk of contracting an illness. Niagara Region Public Health tests beach water quality, effective now through to the end of summer, to make sure the level of bacteria is safe for swimming. Entering the water with high bacteria levels can cause eye, ear, nose, throat and skin infections, as well as stomach problems if the water is swallowed. Factors that may cause bacteria levels to rise include numerous birds or waterfowl, a large number of people swimming, wind and high waves, cloudy water, and heavy rainfall. Public Health encourages residents and visitors to

Although a project manager will look after the bulk of the construction details, library staff will be busy planning the operational details that need to be in place when we re-open. Throughout the summer months we will be assessing furnishings, materials and equipment we need to purchase. We know this will include comfortable seat-
ing, attractive shelving and displays, items for the children’s activity area, popular materials, and innovative technology. A significant portion of the funds are in place through generous community support in the past. However, we do anticipate needing to raise some additional money meet our goal.

The Fonthill Kinsmen recently donated $3878.88 to Pelham Cares from the door proceeds of last month’s Pelham Home and Garden Show. The show saw a 39% increase over last years attendance, and there is already a great deal of enthusiasm in the planning stages of next year’s show. Pictured from left: Sue Kicul and Lori Grande of Pelham Cares receive the cheque from Kinsmen president Tim Emmons and vice-governor of District 1 Kin Debbie Ruffley.
As the weather warms and we shake off the final vestiges of winter, many people begin to turn a thoughtful eye to their garden beds. In an era of globalization, a number of the popular plants in these gardens are non-native species. While many companies specialise in finding new and exotic plants to grow in North American markets, a growing number of consumers and businesses are rejecting this philosophy, and focusing instead on planting species native to the area in which they live. Though humans may consider gardens to be largely aesthetic, they can be an integral source of food and habitat for insects and other animals. The effects
It’s almost like a desert to animals because it’s not what they need of non-native species on an ecosystem can therefore be far reaching. “The problem with these types of plants is that some of them have evolved in a different area then the types of insects and animals that are here,” says Chris DiRaddo of Sassafras Farms, See HEALTHY Page 6

OPINION As We See It
Letters
Solving problems that don’t exist
A letter from the Seehagel Family
A
FTER celebrating a safe Victoria Day in 2016, it is with awe that the Voice remembers the days that firework-related carnage ruled the streets of Pelham, and, for that matter, all of Niagara. In the lawless days of yore, the menace of fireworks sold and set off outside of strict municipal parameters kept most decent folk cowering in their homes at night, wondering when the next Cherry Bomb would shatter their peaceful lives into so many multi-coloured sparks. There are currently nine days when residents can set off fireworks in Pelham. These include Victoria Day and the three days preceding it, Canada day and the three days preceding it, and July Fourth, and the three days preceding it (Pelham is still feeling iffy about the whole 1812 thing). Incredibly, St. Catharines allowed for a raucous 28 days of fireworks until earlier this year, when they very sensibly reduced that number to six, having tackled and solved every other issue they faced. While those big-city think-
ers stopped short of the total ban on personal fireworks suggested by one council-
There are currently nine days when residents can set off fireworks in Pelham lor, there remains the hope that one day such a goal can be obtained, along with the elimination of deadly gas stoves and those treacherous pilot lights. Fires will still be permitted, of course, provided residents pay to obtain the proper permits, at which point a six-figure-salaried municipal employee will arrive after 4-6 weeks to light federally approved combustibles within a certified vessel autographed by the Fire Chief. Cap and Trade costs would be calculated some-
time in the following year. It makes one shudder to imagine a world in which municipal governments refused to acknowledge the firework menace and the threat it posed to Canadian values. It is heartwarming to know that St. Catharines residents can now walk their streets without fear, when only months ago these same residents would have been vulnerable to a vicious drive-by pinwheeling. Sure, there are very few problematic fireworks uses that couldn’t have been handled under existing legislation, like those dealing with noise complaints, but that doesn’t mean that these sort of laws are solving non-existent problems. Who can forget Toronto’s 2005 ‘Year of the M-80’? Fireworks, like a government employee with nothing to do all day but dream up restrictive legislation, can be dangerous. Kudos to Niagara’s municipalities for recognizing the ineptitude of residents, and for exhibiting a willingness to save us from ourselves, regardless of the literal or figurative cost to the taxpayer.

We know God has a good purpose in all this and He gives us just enough light for the step ahead. We are already celebrating the miracle that Jed is still with us. We are blessed to be able to stay with him here at Sick Kids Toronto where he is in ICU and receiving incredible care. We cannot express our appreciation enough for all they are doing both for Jed and our whole family at Sick Kids. Surgery is needed by mid-week to replace his organs, which are held in a
special bag protruding from his back left side, and repair his ribs. The surgeons were pleased with how they looked on Sunday. His right leg was amputated in a good spot for a prosthesis and it is looking positive that further amputation shouldn’t be needed. 2cm on his left femur needs to regrow. His heart is stable. There have been good signs that his mind is ok—praise God!— he has been under heavy sedation and morphine because our sweetheart keeps wanting to push himself up. He has had multiple transfusions and blood products and is swollen, but that appears to be going down. It is amazing the way God has created our bodies to heal!

COMMENTARY A Virtuous Mother BY PASTOR DANIEL & SARAH CALCAGNO Glad Tidings Church of God
Mother’s Day is the day we recognize the amazing dedication mothers have for their children. For the past century, women have made laudable advances in our society. Today, more than ever before, women are free to live their lives the way they want. Despite this, a cultural undercurrent sometimes exists that teaches that choosing to be a mom —
staying at home, taking care of the house and the family — is somehow demeaning. However, those who see the value in choosing to have children and to stay home and raise them should not be frowned upon. Parents have the amazing privilege of bringing new people into the world, and the incredible responsibility of shaping their lives.
The Bible teaches that it is the responsibility of most people to get married and have a family, but the purpose in having families is not to simply populate the earth. The purpose of families is to provide a safe and secure environment for children, to help them learn and grow into moral, productive adults. The best way to ensure that children will grow up successfully is for parents to lead by example, and demonstrate their love through their actions. Mothers can show love for their children by taking care of their physical needs —
Parents have the amazing privilege of bringing new people into the world providing protection, sustenance, clothing, etc.; but I want to encourage mothers — and all parents — to go beyond this, and endeavour to become people of virtue,
Page 5 ensuring that their children will be secure in the knowledge that their parents love them. How to begin? By demonstrating these virtues to our children: PATIENCE: Patience means that, despite our instincts, we allow our children to have the freedom to learn and grow. Having a lack of patience with children simply teaches them to also lack patience. Our instinct might be to get angry with our children, to correct them, or to be disappointed with them; as understand-
able as all of these instincts are, if we are patient with our children, we can help them also grow in virtue. EMPATHY: Showing empathy means trying your best to understand what others are feeling — trying to experience what they are going through. Children are still developing, and are often unable to control their emotions. In those moments, do we genuinely wonder what they are going through? Do we endeavour See A MOTHER’S Page 11

We pray we and our other children will be a blessing and encouragement and be able to reach out with words of hope and love to the many people around us who also are enduring crises in their life.

giving to everyone who is sacrificing themselves to prayer and aid around the world. We are so humbled. To God be the glory! Love, Rob & Christine Seehagel and children. “Come to me, all who Labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” -Jesus (Matthew 11:28)
“...the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) “For this light and momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporal, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” (2 Cor. 4:16-18)

Healthy gardens mean more stability continued from Page 4 a nursery that focuses on growing native plant species. “Take pollinators for example. The way that they have evolved-the way that they extract pollenis specific to the shape of the flower, so if you bring in something else they say ‘what is this? I can’t do anything with this.’” As a result, even gardens and other spaces that we perceive as ‘green’ may be useless to species that rely
on them to survive. “You may have all these plants in a suburban area and it’s almost like a desert to animals because it’s not what they need,” says DiRaddo. “So we’ve taken away their habitat, and then we don’t even provide plants that could work for them in that situation.” By consciously working with native species, says DiRaddo, people can help provide strength and stability to their local ecology. “It’s allowing a food source and a better ecology
to exist, which in turn leads to a healthier system overall,” he said. The Canadian Wildlife Federation agrees, stressing the importance of native species on any environment: “Whether it be tall shade trees, shrubs or perennials, native plants are important to use in gardens and around the house. It is to the benefit of local ecosystems, and the plants and animals in them, to use native plants in all areas of the landscape.”

A mother’s dedication continued from Page 5
to discover the root cause of their actions? Once the root cause is discovered, are we then accepting of their needs and desires? The ability to be empathetic comes from a place of strength. Those who are hurt and unaware of their own emotions will not have the ability to perceive what others are feeling, much less be empathetic towards them. It is important that parents make the choice to be empathetic with their children; otherwise, children will futilely look for it from others all their lives. ENCOURAGEMENT: Sim-
ilarly, parents need to encourage their children, or they will grow up looking for it in all the wrong places. Like empathy, a person can only be encouraging to others when they are confident and secure. This can be difficult for mothers, since mothers in particular can often feel underappreciated. Mothers are taking care of so many things, and can often have a void of encouragement in their life, making it difficult to be encouraging to their children. However, a bad cycle can be broken when parents make the choice to start a new and healthy one. Mothers can make the choice to be a source of en-
couragement to others. Just think about the difference you will make in your children’s lives! The world is not going to be encouraging, accepting, or enthusiastic about your kids, but you can be all of that and more for them. Pastor Daniel and Sarah Calcagno are eager to see positive change in the families of

Camp Day bolsters kids’ characters
Another brick in the wall
Wow... all this is La-Z-Boy, and it’s all on sale?
Development continues in East Fonthill as workers construct a retaining wall in the site’s storm water management facility. One of the functions of the pond is to cool the storm water before it is conveyed to the cold water fish habitat downstream. Sunwarmed water is detained within the facil-
ity and is routed through an underground thermal remediation bed of stone that is buried in the banks around the pond. When the temperature in the earth is cooler than the storm water in the facility this thermal remediation bed helps to cool it before it flows to Twelve Mile Creek. VOICE PHOTO
