For the second year, on Wednesday night teens will unfold lawn chairs in front of the Fonthill Bandshell.
The Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council will show the animated PG movie The Croods during its 2nd annual Outdoor Movie Night.
Admission is free. The show begins at 8:30 p.m. and continues to 10
p.m. “It will be a fun night,” said Abby Loewen, who along
with Jessica Pulfer, are MYAC members organizing the evening.
“Just bring your lawn chair,” said Pulfer. While there is no admission charge, MYAC will sell
popcorn, donated by Shriner’s Creek Kettle Popcorn, and refreshments.
MYAC will donate proceeds to Pathstone Mental Health. The mental health service treats children and teens in Niagara.
The Pathstone donation is a memorial to an E.L. Crossley Secondary School student with mental health problems.
MYAC set up the annual movie night in response to complaints by local young people attending youth fo-rums, which the committee sponsors.
They said the town lacks free casual activities for young people.
The most recent youth forum, which has representa-tives from elementary and secondary schools serving the town, was held this spring.
Loewen and Pulfer said it brought out a lot of con-cerns young people have about living in Pelham.
The Town will encour-age residents to walk and cycle more around their neighbourhoods through a new program called Get Active for Life.
It is conducting an on-line survey and sending
out letters with the survey to residents around Pel-ham Peace Park, Wood-stream Park in Fonthill and Cherry Ridge Park in Fenwick.
“It’s a chance to meet your neighbours and get to know your neighbour-hood,” said coordinator Jessica Ruddell with the department of recreation,
culture and wellness.The program, supported
by the Ontario Sport and Recreation Communi-ties Fund, is open to all residents but targets stay at home parents and se-niors.
They are the most likely to be home during the

On Thursday, August 29 The Western Swing Authority (presented by Shoppers Drug Mart and Subway) will be perform-ing at the Fonthill Bandshell.
The Western Swing Authority is a collab-oration of some of Canada’s top studio and touring musicians who share a com-mon love for authentic western swing. A group of seasoned professionals whose bios include multiple Canadian Country Music Awards, Juno nominations, and resumes that span from Gordon Light-foot, to John Cowan to George Canyon, to Kellylee Evans. Their self-titled, debut album arrived to critical acclaim, and brought their music to people all around the world—on radio stations in Canada, United States, Australia, Northern Ire-land, Republic of Ireland, Scotland, Uru-guay, Netherlands, Germany, England, New Zealand, Sweden, Austria, France, Denmark and Belgium.
Now, The Western Swing Authority is back with their second album, which is creating a buzz in the music world once again. This time the album was funded
by fans around the world, through Pledgemusic.com. “We went to the fans with this one,” said band spokesman/fid-dle/vocalist Shane Gusé. “We had such a great response from our first album and fans were demanding a second album. Our fans have been incredible. Quite lit-erally, we couldn’t have done this album without them.”
“All Dolled Up” is the first single re-lease from the album. It’s an original, written by Shane Gusé and Jason Blaine, but is completely true to the sound that attracted crowds to the dancehalls of Texas, Oklahoma and California in the 1930’s and 1940’s, and has continued in popularity to present day.
Lead vocalist Stacey Lee Gusé grew up in Fenwick and is the daughter of Mel and Sandy Repar. Stacey is one of the most sought after voices in Canadian country music. She is very excited about performing in her hometown.

Niagara Regional Police officers stopped about 250 vehicles and asked for breath samples from
36 drivers during RIDE checks in Smithville and St. Catharines Friday eve-ning.
One driver was arrested for impaired driving and eight had their licences suspended for three days for having more than 50 milligrams of alcohol in their blood, police said in a news release.
Two novice drivers had their licences suspended for 24 hours for having blood alcohol content above zero and one per-son was arrested for driv-ing while disqualified.
NRP said they also hand-ed out 21 tickets for High-way Traffic Act and Liquor Licence offences during the evening.
RIDE operations are held regularly by the NRPS throughout the Niagara Region.
Impaired driving is still the leading cause of Crim-inal Deaths in Canada and destroys thousands of lives every year, police said.

Love is in the air. On September 9 at 7:00 p.m., Dr. David Goicoechea, a retired Brock University philosophy professor, will present his book “Agape and the Four Loves with Nietzsche, Father and Q” at the Pelham Library.
Dr. Goicoechea has pub-lished widely in the areas of philosophy of love, ex-
istentialism, philosophy of religion, postmodernism, and the history of phi-losophy. This is the first session of three devoted to this book. The second session will take place in Welland, and the third in St. Catharines.
The book “Agape and the Four Loves” is the second in a series of nine books that Dr. Goicoe-chea started writing upon his retirement. He is cur-rently writing the fifth.
“Thomas Aquinas wrote The Summa Theologiae, a summary of all theol-ogy and philosophy at the time,” said Dr. Goicoe-chea. “My series is called a postmodern Summa because I’m writing of the most important postmod-ern thinkers, and of how they recover a sense of love and a sense of history that modernity lost.”
The postmodern think-ers include Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Battaille, Fou-cault, Kristeva, and Cix-ous.
Each book in the series also features one of the nine aspects of agape as found in the New Testa-ment.
Agape is often defined in Christian theology as the love of God or Christ for humankind, and of humankind for God. But it can also be love thy neighbour as thyself (Mat-thew 22:39), or loving kindness (from Eastern philosophies), or simply charity.
Dr. Goicoechea’s books take a very personal ap-proach to weaving to-gether the threads. “The series is both a confession
of love and a working out of the problem of love,” said Dr. Goicoechea.
The first book in the se-ries spoke of his mother, along with philosopher Kierkegaard and apostle Paul.
In this second book, “Agape and the Four Loves”, Dr. Goicoechea explores his father’s life and personal growth, the philosopher Nietzsche, and apostles Matthew and Luke.
Nietzsche saw agape as the essence of Jesus’ Ser-mon on the Mount and
based his own philosophy on it.
Dr. Goicoechea de-scribes Nietzsche as the world’s greatest optimist, having discovered man-kind’s highest affirmation: the eternal return of all things.
“Nietzsche had a fabu-lous education, attending a Lutheran school and learning German, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and the history of Christianity,” said Dr. Goicoechea.
At age 24, Nietzsche was appointed to the Chair of Classical Philology at the
University of Basel, the youngest individual to have held this position.
By coincidence, perhaps, Dr. Goicoechea also was a professor in Chicago at age 24. This and other parallels are explored in the book.
Join Dr. Goicoechea in readings from the book, and in a discussion of agape from existential, philosophical, biblical, and historical perspec-tives. There is a cost of $4. Please register in advance by calling the library at (905) 892-6443.

I write this column wearing two hats—one as editor, and one as Eng-lish teacher. As I’ve been ironing school uniforms, packing backpacks and stocking my cupboards with lunch snacks in preparation for back-to-school, I’ve been thinking about literacy.
I recently earned my Mas-ter of Education degree, and as part of my pro-gram, I had the privilege of teaching in a few local high schools. Given my journalism background, I was offered to teach news writing to Grades 9 and 10 students. This was a fantastic opportunity—I was excited to share my first-hand journalism ex-perience with them, and I wanted to help them suc-ceed on a major exam that they would soon have to take.
The Education Qual-ity and Accountability Office (EQAO), is behind the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OS-SLT), and all high school students in Ontario must
take the exam. For the exam, students have to produce four pieces of writing. The writing component is designed to measure the student’s ability to develop a main idea, provide support-ing details, organize and link ideas and informa-tion, use a tone for the particular type of writing and use correct grammar and spelling. Examples of pieces requested in the OSSLT include summa-ries, opinion pieces, news reports and information paragraphs.
During a pre-reading news writing lesson, I polled the class. I asked the following question: “How many of you read the newspaper on a daily basis?” I was surprised when only a few out of (more than) thirty hands shot up. Alarmingly, the results were similar for all of the classrooms I polled.
Social media and tech-nology have changed the way we communicate. I fully embrace this, and I
strongly believe in imple-menting both into the classroom curriculum. However, there still needs to be a place for the tra-ditional newspaper, and daily reading of it. Without reading the newspaper, students will be unfamil-iar with the style of news writing. As such, there is the potential for students to unnecessarily struggle through the news writing portion of the OSSLT.
Moreover, by constantly reading bulleted news items, via major Internet sources, I fear that today’s students will miss out on the opportunity to criti-cally think about the news, and to decide for them-selves what is really going on in the world. There is much to be gleaned from following local, national and global news stories. It’s crucial to consider both sides, and to exam-ine issues from various lenses. In order to do that, there has to be a place for reading news stories from different sources and angles.
I vividly remember my Grade 11 English teacher asking us to keep a scrap-book of news stories with an environmental compo-nent. He wanted us to con-sider what was happening in the environment from multiple levels—locally, nationally and globally. As we clipped and pasted articles, we developed a type of timeline, and we could visibly see how the issues were unfolding, de-veloping and shaping. We were also asked to write an opinion piece from time to time, to comment on what was happening to our environment as the news was being reported in the newspaper. This kind of close following of the news develops the higher order thinking skills, which involves actu-ally doing something with the facts that students learn.
In addition to stimu-lating us to think for ourselves and to think critically, our teacher also engaged other areas of the high school curricu-
lum. Through following the myriad news coverage about the environment, we were also becoming more literate in areas of science, geography, poli-tics and economics.
As a journalist, teacher and parent, I encourage all families to make it a priority to read the news-paper—any newspaper. It’s important to expose today’s students to the style of news writing so that they will be able to master it for themselves, and so that they will be able to think critically about what’s going on in the world around them.

The Voice is independent, locally owned and operated.
I would like to start by saying that I am in favour of the sport of longboarding—if a location can be found that is both safe and legal.
To the committee that proposed closing Overholt Road for this purpose, I say: Were there any grown-ups in attendance at that meeting? And what on earth were you thinking?
“Creative problem solving session”. This is a fairly new phrase which has been used by the Town lately. It’s just a fancied up word-ing meaning the Council making intelligent decisions in the best interest of tax payers. This is the very least we should expect from
our Council, and Councils have been doing this for years. I would like to propose that the word “creative” be removed, and
the words “common sense” be used instead.“Common sense problem solving session”. Now, that has a more
reassuring sound to it.

Some imminent construction will not only improve roads but will also make the Town even more walkable and cyclable.
Port Robinson Road: The Town will reconstruct Port Robinson Road from Pelham Street to Station Street in-cluding repairing some sewer sections, and replacing water lines and storm-sewers this fall. The rebuilt road will include bike lanes and parallel parking along the school. Finally, we will reconstruct and add sidewalks on both sides of the road and re-align the Steve Bauer Trail entrance to match Station Street. (While the Town awarded the contract in June to try to complete this work prior to the restart of school, an MOE approval, the surprise location of a gas-line, and the contractor’s schedule added to the project’s timeline.)
Pelham Street: You will recall that while Council ear-marked $2.5 million for reconstructing Pelham Street from College Street to Quaker Road, the estimate came
back at $6.5 million. We did apply for special provin-cial funding in January (thanks to the Glynn A. Green School community, the PBA, the Chamber, and all oth-ers who wrote letters of support), but learned we were unsuccessful in the spring. Perhaps we can apply under a new, $100 million Provincial program this fall.
In the meantime, the Town will construct a new side-walk on the west-side of Pelham Street from Pancake Lane to Brock/Port Robinson Road this fall.
What about the idea of a traffic signal at Pancake? Installing a complete traffic signal did not meet the Ministry of Transportation’s “warrants” but did meet some opposition from local residents. Following the successful use of the Creative Problem Solving Process, Council recently approved the installation of pedes-trian-priority traffic signals (like that on Haist Street at A.K. Wigg School) at Pancake Lane/John Street and at Spruceside Crescent/Bacon Lane this fall. We will also paint reduced lane widths as an attempt to lower ve-hicle speeds and to provide more room for cyclists.
Regional Road #20: The Region will be construct-ing a special storm-sewer outlet from Regional Road
20 through Marlene Stewart-Streit Park this fall. Town Council recently approved reallocating some savings from this project so that we can add sidewalks along both sides of “Old Hwy 20” from Park Lane to Pinecrest and from Canboro Road to Church Hill. The Region will also resurface the road in that area.
And, did you notice the new school-zone lights on Re-gional Road #20 around St. Alexander School? Please watch for their activation next week during student’s morning and afternoon walks to school.
Pelham Town Square and Church Hill: The Town will also reconstruct the sidewalk on the south-side of Pel-ham Town Square from Station Street to the Post Office and install a pedestrian-priority traffic signal at Church Hill across Pelham Street this fall.
Please be assured that Council and I continue to strive in making Pelham even more friendly for walkers and cyclists.

BY DAVE AUGUSTYNMayor of Pelham
A friendlier Pelham for walkers and cyclists
daytime in a community of commuters.
“All are invited to get active by walking and cy-cling in their neighbour-hood guided by qualified
instructors,” she said.The instructors will pro-
vide tips on walking and cycling such as warm-ups exercises, safe walking practices, proper dress and rules of the road.
She said such things as walking facing traffic when there is no sidewalk or signaling when cycling, would be matters cov-ered.
Circle routes through the neighbourhood will be set up showing distances and physical benefits of the exercise.
“We will develop new maps for the Steve Bauer trails and other trails,” said Ruddell.
Participants will meet their neighbours, set physical goals and experi-ence physical fitness while having fun, she said.
“Many people don’t
know their neighbours and neighbourhood. Walking and cycling is a good way to meet them and see the area.”
The three parks, Peace, Woodstream and Cherry Ridge, selected to begin the program have a large number of people living around them.
The eight-question sur-vey asks about types of
activity preferred, as well as when, where, why and how for participants.
The deadline for comple-tion of the survey is Friday, Sept. 13. The Get Fit For Life program is scheduled to begin on Sept. 30.
Those who wish to serve as instructors will receive training. They will help participants get the most benefit out of walking and
cycling while remaining safe on walking trails, side-walks and along roadways as well as on bikes around the neighbourhood.
Ruddell can be reached at 905-892-2607 ext. 341.
The survey is found on the town’s website at www.pelham.ca or through www.surveymon-key.com/s/getactive4life.

For Beth Cotter, it was not a surprise.
The Pelham Cares as-sistant is filling backpacks with school supplies for children of clients.
Two weeks ago, she ac-cepted donations from two children who spent their allowance to buy back-to-school supplies.
“They wanted to help other children get a good start in school,” Cotter said.
“It’s wonderful to see them doing it. They know how important it is.”
Pelham Cares is accepting donations for its back-to-school supplies program.
It has been receiving five to 12 requests a week as school approaches from more than 60 families it assists.
Unlike last fall when Pel-ham Cares had to scram-ble, the project is off to a good start this August.
Thanks to the Indepen-dent Bikers motorcycle club, which meets at Iggy’s Pub and Grub across the street, Pelham Cares had left-over school supplies to meet the first requests for help this year.
Last September, the Independent Bikers do-nated “a pile of supplies” to Pelham Cares.
Community support, such as that from the chil-dren and bikers, has kept Pelham Cares going for 30
years, said president Jane Gilmour.
On Thursday, Sept. 5, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., at the Pelham Farm-ers Market, it will say thank you.
It will share a 30th an-niversary cake, donated by Sobeys, and provide entertainment by a stilt walker volunteering his time to make balloon ani-mals.
“It is our way of saying thank you for all the com-munity has done to sup-port our programs,” she said.
Pelham Cares runs a food bank, provides rides to medical appointments, assists children with rec-reational and educational programs, refers people
to appropriate service agencies not in Pelham, and provides emergency help.
It was formed 30 years ago through the co-opera-tion of local churches.
For years, it oper-ated out of the home of George Kowalski before moving into an office on Pelham Town Square. For the past few years, it has leased space in a former Donut Diner on Regional Road 20.
Finding a permanent home still remains a quest, said Gilmour.
However, a call to fill a couple of board vacan-cies resulted in a great response, she said.
“We took on five new members because the ap-plications were so impres-sive.”
Pelham Cares can always use volunteers to help with its food bank and driving people to medical appointments.
“We especially need more volunteer drivers so
we don’t overwork those we have,” she said. Ide-
ally, a volunteer should drive twice a month.
Pelham Cares receives a steady flow of donations to its food bank.
People are generous dur-ing the Christmas season with the annual Pelham Food Drive and donations from schools, clubs and churches.
It has also received food donations at special events held by various businesses and organizations.
As part of its 30th anni-versary, Pelham Cares will partner with the Pelham Public Library to mark National Seniors Day and it will salute its volunteers with a dinner on Oct. 28.
Pelham Cares office is at 124 Hwy 20 E., Fonthill and open Monday to Fri-day 9 a.m. to noon. For in-formation see its website at www.pelhamcares.org.

They include limited activities, poor transpor-tation and lack of local jobs.
“The speaker did a great
job,” said Pulfer.MYAC is a town council
appointed committee that advises council about youth concerns, promotes volunteerism and spon-sors activities. Its mem-
bers from Grades 7 to 12 meet monthly.
This year it held an Eas-ter egg hunt, Amp Fest on Canada Day, activities at Summerfest, and a Hal-loween skating party as well as the youth forum.
Some of MYAC’s Sum-merfest plans, including a movie night, were washed out by a July rain-and-wind storm.
Wednesday night’s mov-ie, The Croods, was one of two selected in a poll for showing during Sum-
merfest.Last August, the first
Outdoor Movie Night at-tracted teens and families with young children so a PG movie was considered appropriate for Wednes-day.
A second movie night is planned for later this fall to show the other selected movie with a horror twist.
Loewen and Pulfer are two former Glynn A. Green Public School stu-dents, who will enter E.L. Crossley next week.
As MYAC representatives
they serve on the town’s Active Transportation Committee and assist the Fonthill Bandshell com-mittee at its Thursday night concerts.
“It can be very busy but it’s fun,” said Loewen about their schedule.
“You’re involved in the community and not just sitting at home.”
On the transportation committee Pulfer said she found older members do listen to the youth repre-sentatives.
They explained to them
longboarding was for transportation while skateboards for tricks.
They also learned about the complex process of getting simple things done.
“You don’t just go out and do it,” said Pulfer.
It took months, for ex-ample, to put up public washroom signs in Pel-ham Peace Park. Colour, symbols, size, wording and locations all had to be considered.

Construction has begun on Isaac Riehl Memo-rial Skate Park at Marlene Stewart Streit Park.
The $400,000, 756-square-metre structure will replace the park’s baseball diamond and is expected to open later this fall.
The skate park is named in honour of 14-year-old Isaac Riehl who died last autumn when struck by a car while longboarding on Foss Road.
His fellow students at E.L. Crossley spearheaded a fundraiser and attracted $115,000 from the Avia Community Grant Fund. Fundraisers and commu-nity donations brought about another $150,000.
The town itself has put $298,000 toward the $400,000 project.
At its most recent meet-ing, council adjusted the budget to cover colouring, landscaping and benches for the park.
New Line Skateparks Inc designed the park. Its concept drawings are on display in at the Pelham Municipal Building in Fonthill.
A skatepark is a long-standing goal of young people in the town. Some did constructed makeshift jumps in Centennial Park.
New Line Skateparks Inc. in its design included reference to parts of the town.
They include: Comfort Maple volcano, message to Isaac flat ledge, Over-holt Hill bank and 12 Mile Creek snake run.
While construction has begun, further adjust-ments may still be made.
The skate park consul-tant will be part of an evening workshop on longboarding at 6 p.m. on Sept. 4 at Pelham Fire Sta-tion No. 2 in Fenwick.
Longboarders, interested residents, town staff, and councillors will discuss how best to accommodate the sport in the town.
The session was set up by council in reaction to harsh criticism of a sug-gestion that Overholt Road be closed to allow safe longboarding.
An alternative suggested was building a major longboarding run at the skateboard park.
Construction begins on memorial skate parkBY

SPORTSThe Pelham Blue Sharks
competed in the Niagara Interlock Championships in Fort Erie this past weekend, and showed Pelham proud by bringing home the series victory. The Sharks qualified for the tournament by win-ning all but one of their playoff games, securing top spot in the Rookie Ni-agara South division. Play commenced on Saturday afternoon against the St. Catharines Cobras, the top Niagara North Divi-sion team. The Sharks pulled everything togeth-er to best the Cobras 11-5, with superior fielding
from Lucas Slingerland, Brendan Veenstra and Dylan Scott. The semi-finals saw the Sharks up against the Thorold Blue Jays on Sunday morning. Julian Rubino and Mat-thew Kleinsmith came out with the bats firing to contribute to the 7-5 vic-tory. Carly Elcich’s well-thought-out fielding held off the Jays scoring hopes. Alex Rubino socked the team’s first series home run out of park to com-plete the Sharks scoring. With the opportunity of unlimited runs in the last inning, the Sharks shut out the Blue Jays with a
long throw from pitcher Simon Killeen to first baseman Ethan Wells to end the game.
The series final saw the Pelham Sharks up against a familiar foe, the Welland Padres who had bested the Sharks in early season play. With tenacity and fo-cus, the Sharks triumphed over their longtime rival with a decisive 8-3 win. Team motivator, Kristen Wells, followed up her cheering with several solid base hits and long throws from the outfield. Ryan Jensen had one of his best games of the year with several hits and smart
base running. Ethan Wells scored the final 3 runs of the series with a home run over the right field fence. For the final time, the Sharks were faced with a comeback push with the Padres able to score unlimited runs in the last inning. Second baseman Owen Nicholls had some-thing to say to that, in the form of a brick wall deliv-ering three consecutive outs at second base. In all three games, the Sharks shut out each team in the last inning, with no runs scored against.

J.J. Alexander, Lookout Point Country Club’s head pro will labour through La-bour Day.
He will drive 1,000 balls on Monday beginning at 6:30 a.m. from the club’s driving range.
The fundraiser is to assist the cancer treatment for a club member Carol Smith. The Pelham resident requires a melanoma drug that goes beyond nor-mal medical coverage.
Each ball will have a $5 sponsor. If Al-exander sinks a hole-in-one of a drive, the sponsor could win $500.
The event, which is open to the public, has picked up a title sponsor.
Accelerated Health and Wellness Cen-tre has purchased 100 $5 sponsored balls and has donated additional prizes.
“If JJ sinks one of our balls we will do-nate a $200 gift card and a free one-hour massage at our clinic. The next person
who donates the most will get a one-hour massage at our clinic, “ said Clinic Director Patrick Maddalena
In addition to watching 10 to 12 hours of driving balls crafters and entertain-ment will be set up along the fence.
Crafters will be setup from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. along the fence of the driving range with about 50% of proceeds going to the cause.
A Dunk Tank, with club members and staff as targets will operate from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It will be five throws for $5. There will be a barbecue from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Proceeds of the tank and barbe-cue will go to the fundraiser.
Sponsored balls can be purchased from Alexander at the club at 905-892-2631 ext. 226, or online through paypal at www.compuchick.ca or via email at [email protected].
