Their motto is ‘serving the community’s greatest need’, and on December 12 the Fonthill and District Kinsmen lived up to those words by visiting extended care patients at the Welland Hospital and delivering to each of them a Christmas poinsettia.

Fonthill and District Kinsmen, with a little help from Santa Claus, delivered poinsettias to extended care patients at the Welland Hospital last week.

INSIDE

Pelham resident Brendan Wright has faced his share of adversity. Growing up with a number of developmental and neurological delays, including Tourette’s syndrome

and an Autism Spectrum Disorder, the 22-Year-Old has battled social and educational challenges all his life. But, as the saying goes, what doesn’t kill you can only make you

stronger, and Brendan has taken this to heart by placing fourth in a recent Toronto bodybuilding competition.

Kinsmen Deliver Poinsettias

VOICE OF PELHAM CHRISTMAS DEADLINES & OFFICE HOURS

The annual visit holds a special place in the hearts of the Kinsmen, explained Kin Kevin Twomey. “It’s a special project for us because we see the smiles on the faces of the people as we drop off poinsettias. Often times it’s easy to forget those who are a little less active in life, but we feel it’s important that they are not forgotten. These folks raised families and contributed to society and it’s an opportunity that we can remember them.”

Station #3 Volunteer Firefighter Honoured

The Kinsmen are able to raise money for projects like this one through their annual Home Show and Craft Show events, among others.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to give a little bit back to the community,” said Twomey. “We support a lot of different groups, but this is something that we feel touches on a lot of our core values.”

by E.L. CROSSLEY STAFF

On Wednesday December 16th, E.L. Crossley staff and students made a huge donation to the Salvation Army to support 28 local families and ensure that they had a very Merry Christmas.

Each classroom adopted a local family in need and provided them with non-perishable food

items, gifts for all of the children, and a gift card to a local grocery store.

Each classroom on average raised $400 to make Christmas a reality for these families, for a total donation of over $11,000 in gifts and food. We were able to make Christmas even more special with the generous donation of

all perishable food items because of the partnership with Rick Lowes and the Country Corner Market who kindly provided eggs, egg nog, potatoes, carrots, bacon, butter, milk, bread, rolls & pie for each of the 28 families.

The Salvation Army is able to support about 90 families each year, and

over the last 27 years, E.L. Crossley’s students have supported 1/3rd of those families accepted into the program.

E.L Crossley would also like to thank the Wintle family for donating bead and stuffing to every family.

EDITORIAL Letter to the Editor The 25th Annual Citizens of Pelham Community Food Drive was held on Saturday, December 5, 2015. As always, the event was a huge success!

Regional Chair Presents $25,000 for Syrian Refugee Resettlement to MCC Ontario

We wish to thank the thousands of residents of Pelham who donated food items by leaving them on their doorstep or bringing them to our drop-off points, and the hundreds of volunteers (students, families, church groups, schools, service clubs, business groups, etc.) who canvassed the town and picked food up door-to-door and delivered it to Pelham Cares. As is our tradition, we were also able to share food with our neighbours in Welland through donations to Open Arms Mission, Salvation Army and The HOPE Centre.

We wish to thank the following sponsors for generously providing nourishment for our volunteers: Al Crowe, Blue Star Restaurant, Country Corner Market, Fonthill Sobeys, and Tim Hortons Fonthill.

We wish to acknowledge the monetary support from the following groups that is used to advertise and promote the Food Drive: Fenwick Firefighters Association, Fenwick Lioness Club, Fenwick Lions Club, Fonthill Lioness Club, Fonthill Lions Club, Fonthill and District Kinsmen, Rotary Club of Fonthill, and the Royal Canadian Legion Fonthill.

Many thanks to the following businesses for being food drop-off points for rural residents: Century 21 Today Realty, Clare’s Cycle & Sports, Meridian Credit Union, North Pelham Avondale and Star Tile Centre.

To our friends in the online and print media, mypelham.com, Niagara This Week, Pelham News, Welland Tribune and The Voice, we appreciate your outstanding promotion and coverage.

Thank you to the Fenwick Lions, especially Lion Ken Angle, for leading the Fenwick food collection, and to the Fonthill Lions, for graciously hosting the Fonthill food collection volunteers. Much appreciation to Glen Robins, Gwenn Alves, Maxine Gaylor, and for your ongoing, valuable assistance with organizing the Fonthill food collection.

Community spirit is alive and well in Pelham and we are grateful to be part of such a caring and responsible community that works hard to ensure food security for all of our citizens.

waiting to be matched with refugee families. Niagara Region’s Housing and Public Health staff are playing a key role in supporting the City of Hamilton as one of six Refugee Assistance Program sites in Ontario.

Many other groups are in active dialogue with MCC regarding sponsorship. 10, 000 refugees are expected to arrive in Canada over the coming weeks, with up to 60,000 refugees being welcomed to Canada by the end of 2016 in an incredible demonstration of support for those in need.

“Niagara Region is proud to welcome refugees,” added Regional Chair Alan Caslin. “Our community continues to play a leading role in the compassionate response to Syrian refugees, and it is a testament to our residents, our social sector, and our civic government that this amount was raised so quickly.”

Syria is entering its fifth year of violence. As a result of the ongoing conflict 12.2 million are in need of humanitarian assistance, and more than half of the nation’s population has been displaced.

MCC has programmed over $31 million in response to the crisis in Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon since February 2012.

Iraq was added to the response in June 2014.

Letter to the Editore Dear Voice Staff, Last Wednesday I awoke and prepared for my favorite weekly ritual: sitting down with a hot cup of cocoa to peruse my favorite newspaper, the Voice of Pelham.

As you can imagine, I was thrilled to find myself on the cover of your prestigious literary institution, but that excitement quickly turned to dismay when I saw the glaring misspelling of my name. ‘Santa ClausE?!’

Am I a grammatical unit to you? A line in a legal document? Do I look like Tim Allen?

Now, I know what it’s like to be busy during the holidays (my distribution spreadsheets would give you an aneurysm), but I also know that staff at the Voice hold themselves to a higher standard, and expect to be held accountable by their readers. Please print this letter to clear up any confusion, and avoid being placed on the naughty list.

Sincerely, Santa Claus

Christmas Greetings and Help Resources Christmas is almost upon us once again. The Voice would like to personally wish all the very best this Christmas.

It is a joyful time for many but for some it is a struggle, a time of missing loved ones who have passed, dealing with a crushing health diagnosis, family conflicts, economic or other challenges. Feelings of despair often seem magnified during times when others are happiest.

If you feel these challenges are becoming insurmountable, please call someone for support.

Pelham Public Library: Year in Review

by KIRK WEAVER CEO Pelham Public Library

I have to admit that 2015 seems to have gone by very quickly. Often, in our busy everyday activities we can feel like not much new has happened. However, when we take a moment to reflect, it becomes clear that collectively much has been accomplished at the library. In this brief column I thought I would highlight just a few as a sort of year-end review.

• In partnership with the Town, we launched the design portion of a design-build project that will see the construction of an expanded library facility at the Maple Acre Branch beginning in the spring of 2016.

• With generous funding support from the Pelham Art Festival we replaced many of the public furnishings in the Fonthill Branch.

• We were able to refresh the paint in some areas of the Fonthill Branch.

• We actively participated in several community events including SummerFest, the weekly band shell concerts, and the Fenwick downtown celebrations.

www.thevoiceofpelham.ca

LIONS MAKE CHRISTMAS DONATIONS

• We held several successful fundraising events including a new trivia night event in partnership with the Legion.

• We actively sought to improve our technology offerings by introducing e-readers, replacing the public computer stations and improving internet capacity.

• The Library Board approved the establishment of an endowment fund to enhance the long term financial sustainability of the library. Look for details soon on how you can participate in this fund.

All of these things were accomplished in addition to our regular programs and services. They were successful because of the dedication and commitment of the staff, volunteers and community partners who believe in the importance of a strong public library system. I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together in 2016.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Wishing you all a magical “sweet” holiday season with laughter, goodwill and a prosperous New Year!

A Christmas tradition at the Legion

by ZACH JUNKIN The VOICE

On Saturday December 19 the Fonthill Legion hosted their annual gingerbread house contest for children 18 and under. Participants were encouraged to bring in a pre-built gingerbread house to be judged while they had a chance to make some crafts and enjoy a lunch provided by the Legion. Those who could not afford to bring their own gingerbread house could have one provided for them at no cost.

Rissa Moore-Philippe, Taylor Neff, Ryleigh Labonte, and Daniel Rouillard all took part in the festivities at the Legion on Saturday, which included a visit from Santa Claus and the Gingerbread Woman.

“We hold the gingerbread house contest for kids anywhere form newborn all the way up to adults,” said

Toni Mckelvie, who helped organise this year’s event.

“It’s always free, and if they can’t afford a gingerbread house we will supply one for them. We just like to see the kids come out.”

Children in attendance also got to meet Santa Claus and the Gingerbread Woman.

About thirty kids of varying ages came out to take part. The volunteer-run event has been going on for well over a decade, and Legion members hope it will continue long into the future.

WOMAN WIELDS HATCHET IN NIAGARA FALLS ROBBERY NRPS- On December 20, at approximately 6:30am NRP Officers responded to a Robbery call at a pharmacy located on Lundy’s Lane in the city of Niagara Falls.

Investigation revealed that a woman entered the pharmacy and passed a note to the Pharmacist demanding Fentanyl and cash, stating that she had a weapon concealed inside her purse.

The Pharmacist did not comply with the woman’s demands and a struggle ensued. The woman fled to the front of the store where another employee attempted to prevent her from exiting. The woman wielded a hatchet in a threatening manner and escaped to a nearby taxi.

The victims were not injured.

Police posted an alert to all Officers to search

for taxi’s traveling with passengers matching the suspect description. Soon after, a St. Catharines Officer located the taxi and conducted a traffic stop in the area of St. George St. and Elizabeth St. As a result, a woman was arrested and charged with one count of Robbery contrary to section 344 of the Criminal Code. She is being held in custody pending a Bail Hearing.

RFP HAUNTS MAPLE ACRE LIBRARY PROJECT The request was for $5,950.00. The Committee was seeking a second design from M/2 Group Inc. after the first received a good deal of criticism from the public for diverging radically from the historic, ‘Carnegie-style’ design of the old building.

Councillors immediately noted a concern that approving this request could take the project down a “slippery slope”, and result in increased costs down the road.

“We’re having challenges with many buildings; we’re having challenges with budget I want to make sure we keep in mind,” said Councillor Durley, “so for that reason I don’t really think we should look at increasing costs at this early stage.”

Councillor Accursi echoed that sentiment, arguing that the designer “should stick to the budget and find the money within [it]”.

continued from page 1

(BODY)BUILDING TOWARD SUCCESS It all began around four years ago. Brendan approached Mike Browne of Fonthill Fitness about starting a workout routine, something that would keep him active and get him out of the house more often. However, Brendan soon found himself swept up in bodybuilding, and within a couple of years his casual weightlifting had become intense sessions dedicated to crafting a better physique.

“I first started going to the gym only 3-4 times week,” he said. “Now I’m in the gym 6 times a week, sometimes seven times a week, for an hour and a half to two hours

every day, sometimes twice a day.”

Brendan, who has also been diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, has learned to channel his tendency for fixation and use it to help achieve his bodybuilding goals, says his mother, Leanne: “Sometimes he fixates on something, and he gives it 200%, and that’s what’s happened with the bodybuilding.”

The results are easy to see. Since he began serious training several years ago, Brendan has put on visible muscle mass, to the point where he felt comfortable competing for the first time in No-

vember. “I’ve been training to compete for two years to get to a point where I could use my physique onstage.”

And it’s not only muscles that Brendan has developed while training at the gym. Leanne, who attended the competition to cheer him on, noted that his confidence has soared, and trainer Mike Browne lauded Brendan’s leadership when working with other gym members with disabilities.

Brendan hopes he can leverage these skills, in conjunction with a little more education, into a full time career sometime in the future. “I want to be a personal trainer,” he said.

While Brendan recognizes his experiences and talents might help him build a niche training people with disabilities, as with his day-to-day life he does not want to let disabilities overshadow who he is as a person “I’d like to train people with disabilities, but I don’t want that to define me. I also want to be involved with typical gym members as well.”

Until then, Brendan will keep working on his physique. He plans to continue competing in bodybuilding competitions, and hopes to improve on last month’s fourth place finish in the near future.

Councillor Junkin noted that the MAAC had been asking for a design that complimented the current building from its inception, and that the confusion seemed to be arising from the Request for Proposal written by town staff. “It’s not the architect’s fault that the RFP contradicts that,’ he said.

In July, an RFP put forward by the town called for, in part, “a modern historic architectural design”. It further stated that “The existing 1919 building should reflect the original historic design and the addition will incorporate a modern architectural design. The result is a recognizable contrast and blend between new and old.”

M/2 Group Inc. claims they have met the requirements of the RFP and that therefore they would have to be compensated for a second design. They stated further that the “design responds to the character of Fenwick historic buildings by using a similar material palette, if not form.”

Members of the MAAC, which was formed a month after the RFP was submitted, feel that the spirit of their suggestions have been ignored, though they acknowledge that the letter of the RFP may have been followed.

Council ultimately voted against the extra funding.

Holiday Fire Safety

The holiday season is a festive and joyous occasion to spend time with friends and family – but before sitting down to your holiday feast, learn how to keep your family safe this holiday season.

Plumbing Plumbing

As part of the Holiday Fire Safety campaign, the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management offers simple tips to enjoy a firesafe holiday season: • Stay in the kitchen while cooking -- especially if using oil or high temperatures. If a pot catches fire, cover the pot with a lid to smother the flames and turn off the heat.

• Install and test smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas of your home. Don’t forget about carbon monoxide alarms if you have a fuel-burning appliance or attached garage.

• Before you put lights on your tree or around windows, check the cords closely. Discard any sets that are frayed or damaged.

• Keep lit candles away from children, pets and things that are flammable, such as curtains, upholstery, or holiday decorations.

Blow out candles before leaving the room or going to bed.

• Never burn gift wrappings, boxes, cartons, or other types of packing in the fireplace or hang Christmas stockings from the mantel when the fireplace is in use.

• Water fresh Christmas trees daily and keep them away from fireplaces, heaters or candles.

• Do not overload extension cords. Make sure cords are never placed under rugs or furniture.

• Make sure everyone knows how to get out of your home safely if a fire occurs. Develop and practise a home escape plan with family and holiday guests.

• In case of fire, call the fire department from outside the home, from a cellphone or neighbour’s home.
