On Tuesday March 22, Town Council received information regarding the new community centre. Presentations were made outlining the architectural designs, the construction timeline, and how the facility would be financed. The centre is projected to cost $36.2 million. Its main components consist of two ice pads, a double gymnasium, and some smaller multi-purpose spaces. The primary arena will also include a walking track and seating for 1000 people.

Unusual Winter Weather Puts Pelham Peaches in Jeopardy by ZACH JUNKIN The VOICE
Erratic weather patterns may have all but eliminated the peach crop in Pelham this year, as early numbers from the Tender Fruit Alert program place survival rates at 6%, well below last year’s figures. By comparison, the rest of the Niagara Region is looking at a 65%-75% rate of bud survival.

EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Clarification Part 1: Theirs In the March 2, 2016 edition of the Voice of Pelham, the Editorial indicated that “henceforth all Town information was going digital.” (pg. 4.) Unfortunately, this is factually incorrect. Further, the entire Editorial is predicated on this error. The truth is that on February 1, 2016 Staff brought forward various recommendations to Council regarding the Town’s Advertising Contract. After Councillors discussed the report and stated their preference of using print advertising to help inform the community, Council referred the matter back to Staff for “further research and a report back to Council.” That Staff report has yet to return to Council. (Please see pg. 7 in the approved minutes of the February 1, 2016 Council meeting, attached.) Unfortunately, it was too late for us to stop the publication of the February 4 Pelham News ad you reprinted in your newspaper. (Since then, the Pelham News has continued to publish a page of weekly updates from the Town for free.) A simple phone call or email to me or Ana McKnight, Marketing & Communications Officer, would have clarified the situation in advance of you making this error. On behalf of the Town, I ask the Voice of Pelham to publish a correction to this error in your Editorial in your next edition. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely yours, Darren Ottaway Chief Administrative Officer

The VOICE is independent, locally owned and operated.
Clarification Part 2: Ours On February 4, the Town of Pelham ran an advertisement in their official print venue stating that from that point on, they would no longer be advertising in traditional print media. Instead, residents were invited to ‘continue to stay in touch’ through Facebook, Twitter, and TP’s website. In response, on March 2 the Voice ran an editorial entitled, In Pelham It’s Already a Brave New World, decrying the obvious negative consequences of such a decision.
The Voice may occasionally ask for clarification if a message is muddled, when a message is as clear as the proverbial bell, we won’t waste valuable staff time—the Town’s or ours.
Town staff have recently contacted The Voice and asked for a retraction of that editorial, on the basis that Council have (wisely) put a stop to that silliness and are awaiting a new report on the matter from town employees. Council made that decision after the advertisement had been submitted to print, but before it had run. Town Staff contend that The Voice could have “clarified the situation” by contacting them for a statement before running the aforementioned editorial.
It is this newspaper’s job to hold people and organizations accountable for the things they say and
do. The Voice will continue to do so. Softening and painting over statements is not in The Voice’s mandate. And it is certainly not our responsibility to correct advertisements run elsewhere.

Older Adults the Focus of Probus Month Celebration Talks by ZACH JUNKIN The VOICE
The meeting hall at the Fonthill Legion pulled in a strong crowd last week as the PROBUS Club of Pelham celebrated PROBUS month. The club consists of retired and semi-retired professionals who come together to meet others in similar circumstances, make new friends, and expand their interests.
When discussing how municipalities can address these changes, Ventresca’s presentation quoted the World Health Organization, which has recently stated that “Making cities and communities age-friendly is one of the most effective local policy approaches for responding to demographic aging”.

DSBN MAY RENAME E.W. FARR MEMORIAL SCHOOL
“The decision has been made only to establish a committee which will consider a number of potential names, including retaining the E W Farr Memorial name,” she said. This is standard procedure when schools merge, claims Robinson: “When the DSBN undertakes the consolidation of two school communities into one, the option of creating a new name is always considered.”
Ventresca, Co-chair of the Niagara Age-Friendly Community Network, pointed out that we are in the “dawn of a new age” wherein today’s older adults represent a significant shift from the popular representation of seniors.
Ventresca noted that more than 20% of Pelham’s population is over the age of 65, and that this number will only grow in the near future as baby boomers age, and as Niagara continues to see positive net migration into the area from this age group.
continued from page 1
In an email, DSBN Chair Dale Robinson was quick to note that a name change is not a foregone conclusion.
The PROBUS Club holds general meetings once a month that are accompanied by a speaker series. This month’s speakers were Dominic Ventresca and Judy Reid, who discussed issues facing older adults in the Region, and the importance of Niagara becoming more age-friendly in the face of shifting demographics.
“Today’s older adults are increasingly more active, living longer and healthier lives,” he said. “They provide important economic contributions to their communities and valued support to their families.”
www.thevoiceofpelham.ca
Judy Reid discusses issues surrounding 'older adults' at last week's PROBUS Club meeting, which corresponded with the annual PROBUS Month celebration.
The Niagara Age-Friendly Community Network and the Niagara Aging Strategy are a couple of ways that groups in the Region are working to address these issues. “We are trying to continue to raise awareness about this global development and demonstrate the importance of Niagara becoming more age-friendly, and for the local municipalities to capitalize on the social and economic capital older adults represent.” The talk was followed by a vibrant question and answer period capped off by some PROBUS month cake.
The committee make-up and procedures are governed by DSBN Policy A 09. That policy explains that the committee will be provided with a list of names by the Committee Chair, and will then evaluate those suggestions based on specific naming criteria. “The E.W. Farr, Pelham Centre Naming Committee will seek input from both school communities, as well as from the wider community of Fenwick,” explained Robinson. “They will then choose three names from which the board of trustees will select. The first rankedthe most popular name submitted by the committee- is usually the name selected.” The committee will consist of Robinson, one or both principals, the superintendent of education for both schools, as well as School Council and student representatives, and a community representative. The committee will meet three times, beginning in April. “We are excited to be able to construct a beautiful facility, in a beautiful location, that will bring all of our elementary students together in one school and make lives simpler for all of their families in Fenwick,” said Robinson. “We are also looking forward to engaging with the community throughout all phases of the project.”

Unusual Winter Weather Puts Pelham Peaches in Jeopardy The damage was done in February, when the trees were subjected to large temperature changes over a relatively short period of time. These erratic weather patterns impacted the peach trees’ bud hardiness and left them unusually vulnerable to cold weather.
“Generally the Pelham area loses the moderating effect from the water, from the lakes,” he said. “Air moving across the lake warms up, and then as it hits land it remains a relatively warmer air mass, then as it goes above the escarpment it cools off again.”
“Because the weather had been fluctuating so much throughout the winter, the peaches lost their cold hardiness,” explained Zach Haist of R.C. Haist Farms in Fenwick. “The peach buds started reacting to the warmer temperatures, and were killed when those temperatures suddenly dropped.”
Though the difference in temperature might only be a couple of degrees, those few degrees made all the difference this year, as farmers like the Haists can attest. The numbers suggest they will have 90% fewer peaches than last year, which was an average crop. Luckily the Haists have not put all their peaches in one basket, and have a number of trees outside of Pelham.
Though peach trees throughout the region were all at risk, only Pelham’s temperatures fell far enough to cause significant damage. This, says Ryan Brewster of Ker Crop Management Systems, is a result of Pelham’s position atop the Niagara Escarpment.
“Our idea of insurance is to spread things out around Niagara,” said Zach, “that’s why we’ve rented in other places throughout the region.”
late 80’s, and another bad year in 2012, recognizes that climate change may mean more of these kinds of winters, but does not see it changing the overall strategy on the farm. “There’s peaks and valleys,” he said. “As long as the valley isn’t too long, you just ride it out. You put it away when you got it coming, and you suck it up when it’s tough.” With 12 acres heavily damaged, this will likely get chalked up as a tough year, at least as far as Pelham peaches are concerned. But with strong projections still in place for the rest of the region, and Pelham’s other tender fruit crops still in good shape, Niagara residents won’t have to go without, and farmers like the Haists will still have plenty to offer come harvest time.

Junior B’s Introduce New Coach “The team didn’t have a great year last year,” said Barnes. “But I think if we can start bringing in the players now and build the program up, then hopefully it will be a championship calibre team in a few years.”
Scott Barnes
The Pelham Panthers Junior B hockey team has hired Scott Barnes to be their new head coach. The move comes after a tough season that saw the Panthers earn only one win. Barnes hopes that his myriad of connections in the hockey world will allow the team to put this past year behind them and start building for success.
Barnes, who has coached the Southern Tier Admirals at the Midget and Bantam level for the past six years, sees himself as a player’s coach who can get the most out of kids. “I have very good communication with players and can get them to play our structured game,” he said. Barnes also noted that the new facility presented to Council last week will be a major draw to potential
players if it comes to fruition, helping to improve the on-ice product: “I’ve seen the design of the dressing room and it’s going to be the best in the league. So speaking as a former player, kids want to be there, to be a part of that, and I really think it is going to be a big recruiting tool down the road.” The team’s owner, Tim Toffolo, is happy to have Barnes’ experience on board for next season: “We’re extremely comfortable to have Scott here, with his knowledge, and knowing that the work that Scott puts into a program puts the organization in a good position to take the next step forward into becoming a contender again in this league.”

Armstrong Stars in The Crackwalker Fonthill native and Dora Award winning actress Claire Armstrong explores the dark depths of marginalization as Sandy in the iconic Canadian play.
This spring the 29-yearold Armstrong is once again in the spotlight, this time at Toronto’s Factory Theatre in a production of the Iconic Canadian play The Crackwalker. The play centres on an Indigenous woman and her friends suffering from mental illness, abuse, drugs, alcoholism, and violence. Armstrong plays the role of Sandy, a woman trapped in an abusive, alcohol-fueled relationship who wants to leave but is afraid to abandon her best friend Theresa, a mentally challenged woman with problems of her own.

Growing up in Fonthill, Claire Armstrong was no stranger to the arts. She began playing piano at age ten, and started receiving voice lessons two years later. The stage was not far behind, and it wasn’t long before she was performing in a number of different produc-
tions at a variety of local venues. “I started doing community theatre after school in the evenings with Garden City Productions in St. Catharines,” recalls Armstrong. “So I did Fiddler on the Roof and all kinds of musicals with them,
and in the summer time I also did Shakespeare in the Vineyard. That was really great, and they did really great professional level productions that gave me a lot of excellent experience.” After high school, Armstrong moved to Toronto
to study Theatre at York University. Since her graduation, the classically trained pianist and singer has developed an impressive resume in both theatre and film, performing in numerous productions across the country.
“Sandy is really tough on the outside, but really vulnerable on the inside,” said Armstrong. “She’s also very loyal to Theresa and she’s trying to figure out a way to understand how life turned out this way.” Amidst this dysfunction, the characters are perpetually haunted by The Crackwalker, a homeless native man that embodies social and personal failure and despair
“The play examines subject matter that is not often seen on the stage and stories that don’t often get told,” explained Armstrong. “The characters are all people who are marginalized members of society; the people who get forgotten, or overlooked, or neglected, and are essentially abandoned by the system.” To play such complex roles, Armstrong says that actors must find the part of the character that resonates with them: “There’s always some piece of the character that feels closest to you as a person. And then you sort of build it from there, and try to learn to empathise and really love the character.” The Crackwalker is part of Factory Theatre’s Naked Season, which aims to strip works down to their essentials: text, actors, audience, and space. The play is on now, and will run until April 10.

Council Receives Community Centre Design
In their financial analysis, town staff claimed that “through a variety of financial tools the centre can be built with a modest taxpayer contribution serving as the heart of our community for generations to come.” Those tools will include four main components: the sale of surplus lands owned by the town; the use of development charges to be collected as construction continues on the rest of the East Fonthill project; $3 million dollars in donations; and $9 million in taxpayer funded debt that will result in an average increase of $46 for the year. Treasurer Cari Pupo stated unequivocally that no further tax increases will be required to build the centre. The sale of surplus lands is expected to generate $12 million for the town. Of the 32 acres purchased in 2005 for $3.5 million, there are 19.75 acres remaining, according to staff. CAO Darren Ottaway is confident that this land can be sold for $600,000-$800,000 per acre. Development charges are fees collected when building permits are issued, designed to help municipalities pay for things like roads, water and sewer services, community centres, and other infrastructure. Town staff expect this amount to add up to another $12 million.

Ball Construction, the centre’s Project Manager, noted that they hope to get on site in late August so they can start pouring concrete by September, and enclose the building by spring. For that to happen, Council will likely need to make a decision on the community centre by the end of May.
