The Fonthill Lions are gearing up for their annual Super Draw, and are urging folks to get in on the action and purchase tickets.
Lion Fred Arbour says that he hopes people will purchase tickets so that the Lions can give more money to charities in need.
“The more tickets we sell, the more money we can give away to support the projects that we’re helping out with,” says Arbour.
Prizes up for grabs include a Yamaha 350 ATV with trailer (first prize), a big screen TV (second prize), and a stainless steel BBQ (third prize).
“One of the great things about our prizes is that we get them from local merchants,” says Arbour.
The ATV comes from Claire’s, the TV comes from Lampman’s, and the BBQ comes from Beamer’s.
Some of the charities which benefit from the sale of the tickets are Pelham Cares, the local scout troop, Pelham Youth Soccer, E.L. Crossley [bursaries], Camp Dorset, Lake Jo Camp for the Blind, the Lion’s Foundation of Canada, and the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority.
Tickets cost $10 each or three for $30, and can be purchased at Klager’s Meats, 1507 Pelham Street, the Seaway Mall, or from any Lion member. The Fonthill Lions will also be at the Welland Food Festival (September 30 – October 2) and the craft show in Vineland over the Thanksgiving weekend.
The draw will be held on Saturday, October 15 at 6:00 pm at the Fonthill Lion’s Hall, on Hwy 20.

Hunger never takes a holiday. And that’s why Klager’s Meats has partnered with Pelham Cares, to help feed people this Thanksgiving.
From now until October 8, by making a small donation at the store, folks can help Pelham Cares supply the less fortunate with a ham or turkey for Thanksgiving. A $2 donation can help
purchase a ham, and a $5 donation can help purchase a turkey.
“We hope people will support us as we try to make a difference in other people’s lives,” says Fred Arbour, owner of Klager’s Meats.
Coordinator of Services, Betty Brown at Pelham Cares says “so far, we have 30 families that have requested either a ham or turkey and a local produce supplier has donated fresh potatoes”. Thanks to Klager’s,
last year 41 families received assistance at Thanksgiving. Families must qualify and register to receive assistance through Pelham Cares. Anyone wishing to make a donation should drop by Klager’s during store hours before October 8. For more information, contact Pelham Cares at (905) 892-5300. All donations will be given to Pelham Cares for the purchase of food for Pelham families.

Sharon Lounsbury loves horses. Always has. Not “mommy” or “daddy”, her first word was “horse”. She began riding when she was three and the animals have been part of her life ever since.
When she was 33, Lounsbury (now almost 49) suffered two heart attacks and underwent heart surgery. In addition, she has cancer and four years ago was involved in a serious car accident. The Emmett street resident has also recently developed diabetes.
All of which made it difficult for her to visit her
three miniature horses in Wellandport. Lounsbury’s doctors suggested that she purchase another miniature horse and keep it at her home. In October 2010, she bought Patience and boarded him at a friend’s home in Erin.
“She was headed for slaughter because she has deformed hooves,” said Lounsbury. “She was only two and just too cute for me to let that happen, so I bought her.”
In March, Lounsbury brought Patience, who stands just 36 inches tall, home to Pelham and not longer afterwards discovered that the horse was expecting. “After we brought her home, she started losing her winter coat and I noticed her tummy moving. At
first, I just thought it was indigestion until one day I put my hand on her and something kicked me,” said Lounsbury.
In May, Patience delivered a baby girl Lounsbury named Rain. The newborn arrived with one deformed hoof and, along with her mother, gets a visit from the farrier every four weeks and is doing fine.
Not only are the horses enjoying their new home, they were doing wonders for Lounsbury as well.
“They are medicine for me, they are my therapy and what keep me going,” said Lounsbury. “The doctors can give me all the pills they want to but when I’m with them (the ponies) it’s like I am in another world.”
However, in July Lounsbury received a visit from the town’s by-law officer. A few days later, someone from the Humane Society arrived to check out the ponies and their living conditions.
“They passed with flying colors,” said Lounsbury.
Despite that, the town’s by-laws prohibit livestock in a residential area leaving Lounsbury with no other choice except to find a new home for Patience and Rain. Something that Lounsbury very much does not want to do.
“I saved their lives and each and every single day, they save mine. They are my reason for getting up in the morning and my reason to want to keep on living,” said Lounsbury.
The town did grant an extension allowing her to keep the ponies at her home until October 1,
but last Sunday with tears in her eyes and her heart breaking, Lounsbury loaded up Patience and Rain and took them to Wellandport where someone she hadn’t even met yet had offered to board them.
According to Mayor Dave Augustyn, in general, livestock cannot be kept in areas zoned residential
in the Town.“Zoning has the potential
to be changed through the public process of a zoning amendment,” said Mayor Dave Augustyn. “Bylaw enforcement is part of a legal process; since this specific matter is being dealt with by the Town’s bylaw enforcement office, I cannot comment further.”
Lounsbury’s health concerns will make it difficult for her to visit them very often and she is hopeful that someone closer to home may have room for the ponies.
“That would be wonderful,” she said. “It’s like losing a member of your family.”

Is there any better time of year in Niagara than September? Well, maybe warm days in May or a beautiful snowy day in January? Well, September is pretty darn nice. Just look at the Pelham Farmer’s Market (or any of Niagara’s many fresh markets), packed with fabulous produce that simply can’t be duplicated by imported stuff at any time of year.
It’s also the time when real foodies stock up on all that fresh produce to make sure that it lasts as long into the winter as possible by preserving, pickling, canning, drying, or freezing some of it. I have already frozen bags full of strawberries
from last June and raspberries from July to use in my morning smoothies right through the year, but now is the time to put away beans and broccoli, peppers and tomatoes for winter stews and sauces.
I slice some tomatoes into thick slices and dry them to the consistency of leather in my smoker (an oven at 140 degrees works just fine) to use on pizzas or in sauces all winter. Some I make into sauce or paste to freeze, and the rest I just freeze whole. If I’m making something where I don’t want to use the skin, I just drop the frozen tomato in hot water for a few seconds,
and the skin slides off. Frozen plum or paste tomatoes are way better than canned.
And with tomatoes at their flavour peak, this is the time of year to indulge in some of our favorite tomato dishes. Here are some of the recipes we look forward to preparing when tomatoes really taste like tomatoes.
Pâtes au PistouCombine the following
and serve over 1 lb. of freshly cooked pasta (I like linguine for this) to serve 4 to 6 people. Let the sauce sit for an hour to meld the flavours before serving.
5 diced tomatoes3/4 Cup shredded fresh
basil6 garlic cloves, minced3/4 Cup minced fresh
parsley1/2 Cup olive oil1 1/2 teaspoons of
Herbes de Provence (a mix of thyme and oregano will do)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Caprese SaladThis is a simple mix of
thickly sliced tomatoes layered around the plate with slices of buffalo Mozzarella and drizzled with freshly chopped basil, a little good Balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and a sprinkle of sea salt. A nice variation is to use tomato chunks mixed with baby bocconcini
along with the oil, basil, and Balsamic.
And our all-time favorite, a rich and decadent recipe that has wowed whomever Valerie prepared it for from our friends in the South of France (who now serve it themselves and call it “the Canadian pasta”!) to friends in our backyard:
Tomato and Brie Pasta4 large tomatoes cut
into cubes1 lb Brie, skin removed,
torn into chunks1 Cup fresh basil, cut
into strips3 (or more) garlic
cloves, minced1 Cup olive oilCombine these
ingredients at least two
hours before serving and leave them covered at room temperature until the pasta is ready. Cook 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of pasta (bowtie, fettucine, linguine, they all work) and as soon as it’s done, combine it with the sauce. Toss thoroughly and serve with freshly ground pepper.
The temperature outside may be cooling off, but the tomatoes are still plenty hot

THE VOICE Of PELHAM
Not so long ago you may have read a previous article having to do with sidewalks and their meaning being for “foot traffic” not cyclists. Well, here we go again with a new twist.
Sidewalks are intended for the safe travel of pedestrians but with so many new motorized innovations, the concern for their safety has been heightened and become a worry for anyone and everyone having to share the sidewalk with electric vehicles.
As an example, wheelchairs can be
driven by muscular power or other types of power, and are designed for and used by people whose mobility is limited by one or more conditions or functional impairments. Persons who utilize mobility devices are pedestrians and have every right to travel safely on sidewalks...Be considerate!
Personal Mobility Devices or electric wheel chairs and medical scooters are in the same classification as a wheel chair; for use on a sidewalk. Persons operating motorized wheelchairs
are treated in the same way as pedestrians. They do not require registration, licence plates, driver’s licence or vehicle insurance. These devices, as well as Pocket Bikes are vehicles that cannot operate on roads unless a sidewalk is not available and must travel on the left shoulder of the roadway, facing oncoming traffic. A sidewalk should be the first choice for someone using a wheelchair or medical scooter. When there is no wheelchair accessible curb, the person should return to the sidewalk at the first available opportunity.
Vehicles not permitted to be operated on sidewalks include, but are not limited to: Limited-Speed Motorcycles, Motor-Assisted Bicycles, Motor Tricycles, Bicycles & Electric Bicycles, Electric Vehicle Conversions and Low-Speed Vehicles. A Segway Human Transporter/Personal Transporter can be operated on roads and sidewalks in Ontario by individuals aged 14 and older with a disability that impairs their mobility, Canada Post employees delivering mail door-to-door, and police officers.
There are many operators of motorized vehicles putting themselves and pedestrians at risk when they fail to heed the rules of the Ministry of Transportation which clearly defines motorized vehicles that can and cannot operate on sidewalks.
Not being one who likes to repeat herself, it’s a patience issue for me, I can only hope that those who should be on the road are on the road and those who should be on the sidewalk, can be—safely.
Thank you to Pam Robb, Pelham
Community Policing Committee’s newest member, for her assistance with research for this article.

Talk about a meeting of the minds. At a recent Can-Fit-Pro show in Toronto, Fonthill Fitness gym owner, Mike Browne, had the opportunity to chat with the well-known face of clean eating, Tosca Reno.
Reno writes a regular column for Oxygen and is on the magazine’s advisory board. She gives motivational seminars across North America and writes many articles on training and nutrition for magazines such as Oxygen, Maximum Fitness, Reps!, and Clean Eating. She has published a number of health and fitness books, including Tosca Reno’s Eat Clean Cookbook, and is currently working on a new nutrition book.
“What struck me most about Tosca is that she’s a sincere person,” says Browne. “She’s the kind of person who knows what you’re going through.”
Reno is married to Robert Kennedy, the publisher of MuscleMag International, Reps!, Oxygen, American Curves, Maximum Fitness, and
Clean Eating. Browne and Kennedy became friends back when Browne lived in Georgetown, where he owned and operated a gym.
“After meeting Tosca, I see that she is as serious about the message of health as [her husband] Bob,” says Browne. “And her motivation is her personality.”
Reno began her journey to health and fitness after losing her father to heart disease.
“I decided that I wanted to be around to watch my children grow up,” says Reno. “I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.”
Reno has come a long way from that moment in time, and she credits her change in mindset and strict discipline as key to her success.
“There was a time when I was a fat blob,” says Reno. “I was purposeless.”
Reno, who is currently preparing for another photo shoot for an upcoming cover of Oxygen magazine, says that small successes can help set goals and motivate one to lose weight.
“When I’d successfully lose six pounds, I’d then
tell myself that I can lose seven pounds,” she says. “And every time I’d think of eating a donut, I’d remind myself that each successive bite will only make me feel worse.”
Reno says that every person needs to find his/her own reason to keep on the fitness path.
“You have to find what moves you the most—what scares you more than anything,” she says.
Reno, who spends about eight months per year on the road, is living proof that, with discipline, people can stick to their goals. She understands how difficult it can be to maintain clean eating while at the mercy of a restaurant menu.
“Restaurants have one goal, and that is to profit,” she says. “It’s really up to you to study the menu, and make good choices.”
For Reno, eggs are her safe choice when eating out.
“Most restaurants will cook eggs any way you like them, and you can be sure what you’re getting when you order eggs,” she advises.
Furthermore, Reno says that being on the road
doesn’t mean skipping a workout. She says that folks don’t need a gym to work out, and that people can do push-ups, sit-ups, lunges, walking, and other exercises like dips and lateral raises with household items and a floor.
“Just put on a different pair of glasses, and you can turn a room into a gym,” she says.
Asked if she ever deviates from the clean eating diet, and she admits that she will on the odd occasion enjoy a piece of dark chocolate or a glass of red wine. But other junk food is strictly off limits.
“I never eat junk food; I take this very seriously,” she says. “Why would I start introducing foods that are counter-intuitive to everything I’ve worked for?”
And like Reno, Browne wants to share the message of clean eating and wellness with the people in his community.
“In order to help motivate people to lose weight, I’m starting an eight-week challenge,” says Browne.
The challenge will include 10 teams of five people. The challenge will begin right after the Thanksgiving
weekend, and will run until Christmas. Browne says that he created the challenge because he wants to give people the gift of health, and help them find energy to enjoy a long life.
“I want people to have enough energy to play with their kids, and to be positive role models,” says Browne. “And if I can help just one person, I’ll be content.”
For more information on the eight-week challenge, contact Browne at (905) 892-4443.

Mary Ann Kirby has faced challenges throughout her life and, with the support of family and friends, has met them head on. Most times brushing them aside like leaves in the autumn breeze.
The soon to be 30-year-old was born with Down syndrome. In 1981, awareness and acceptance of the disease was not nearly what it is today and even getting Mary Ann admitted to elementary school was a challenge for her parents Mike and Carol.
However, it was a challenge they tackled with passion and with the support of forward-thinking teachers and
school board members enrolled Mary Ann in A.K. Wigg.
Mike and Carol have been involved with the Down Syndrome Caring Parents Niagara organization for most of Mary Ann’s life and the changes they have witnessed over those three decades are many.
“In the beginning, there was segregated education and Mary Ann was a forerunner in changing that,” said Carol.
“We encouraged the school system to accept her in kindergarten. Even in nursery school, she was integrated into a regular nursery school.
“Today, it’s just expected and there is planning when the child is three or four-years old.
“Back then, there wasn’t a lot of planning and you had to advocate for your
child. We had to explain that Mary Ann was a normal kid from a normal family with normal brothers and sisters and wanted to attend her normal neighborhood school.”
“Sometimes they needed a little encouraging, but there were some good people with Board of Education who had the vision to look ahead.”
“It’s just about what the school community could offer Mary Ann, but what Mary Ann could offer the school community.
“She has taught us all a lot.”
Mary Ann spent most of her elementary school years at A.K. Wigg and graduated from E.L. Crossley.
She continues to live in Fonthill with her parents and leads a busy life, working at Airwood Vents as well Mossimos Pizza in addition to volunteering at the Fonthill branch of the Pelham library and the Wolcott Wing at the Welland Hospital.
She is also an active participant in Special Olympics bowling.
Mary Ann interjected that she is still single and looking for the right guy.
“I have accomplished a lot in my 29 years,” she said. “There are a lot of things I still want to achieve and I am working hard to reach all of my goals.”
Mary Ann also praised the support she has received from her church family at Faith Tabernacle.
Mike and Carol are planning a big party to celebrate Mary Ann’s 30th birthday early in October. They hope
to announce plans to travel with Mary Ann to the Dominican Republic where she will finally meet her foster son Joel Parra, who Mary Ann has been writing to with the help of World Vision for more than three years.
“That’s something Mary Ann is really looking forward to,” said Carol.
Along with her parents and niece Madi, Mary
Ann took part in Niagara’s first Buddy Walk Saturday, Sept. 17 to raise awareness and financial support for Down syndrome.
“I think the first goal of the Buddy Walk is to raise awareness and educate people about Down syndrome,” said Carol. “Plus, there is a fund raising aspect to it as well.”
Jennifer Mooradian, chair of the Buddy Walk, which was part of the Grape and Wine Festival’s Pied Piper parade, was pleased with the turnout for the inaugural event.
“I’m thrilled with the turnout,” said Moordian, herself the parent of a young child with Down syndrome. “We had 75 T-shirts and they are all gone. It’s fantastic.”

On Saturday September 17 the Pelham U-12 Select MD Girls finished off the season in style. Playing the Welland Wizards, Pelham’s Kaileigh Brannigan sniped a beautiful goal early in the first half. Welland came back with a quick shot of their own, evening out the score. With the game at one apiece, extra time was needed. Pelham displayed great focus and determination throughout overtime play. Defensive players were on their toes the whole time to hold Welland back: Lauryn Frasca, Brittany Resch, Natasha Desjardins, Maya O’Donnell, Lexi Ciolfi, Sydney Tomaino and Alanna Peplinski. Quick, smart passes between Pelham forwards Michelle Maecker, Rachel Hildebrandt, Kristen
Goossen, Sophie Pauls, Julia Doucet and Robyn Folckerts brought the team to victory. Brannigan was able to bury two more goals in overtime giving Pelham the upper hand even with a last minute goal from Welland. How exciting! Goalie Emily Charron had a stellar game and made it very difficult for Welland to score. Thank you to Chelsea Dickson who cheered from the bench with an injury. Pelham was able to complete their season as both league and playoff champions in the Niagara Region Girls’ Soccer League. Special thanks must go to coaches Mike Ciolfi and Joe Tomaino for their time and commitment to the team. Well done girls!

Working smoke alarms saved a man’s life over the weekend, along with his cat, when his house on Canboro Road caught fire.
He had fallen asleep on the couch watching tv when his smoke alarm went off. He woke up to find the couch next to him had caught fire. He could not reach his front door from where he was for the smoke and the heat. Luckily, he had a second way out through the bedroom hallway and both he and his cat managed to escape.
“If it hadn’t been for the smoke alarm, the home owner may never have woken up and the outcome
would have been very tragic,” says fire prevention officer Saskia Holditch. “Most fire related deaths are from smoke inhalation, not getting burned. Smoke alarms are required where people sleep to wake them up in time to get out”
The owner had just had gone through all the smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in him home only two months ago to ensure they all worked.
The damage to the house is estimated to be around $200,000. The cause of the fire is as yet undetermined but foul play is not suspected, says Fire Chief Jim Phelps.

It has been a busy year for us at the Pelham Business Association! Our local association held our Annual General Meeting last Tuesday at Casa Vostra Restaurant in Fonthill. In attendance were the existing Pelham Business Association board of directors, members of Town Council including Mayor Dave Augustyn, and a large showing of the Pelham Business Association members.
It was our aim at the outset of the year to meet the adversity of the street construction with
a positive, proactive approach. Although the construction phase was very hard on the local businesses, we saw a growing support network form and are now coming out on the other side more vibrant than ever.
The Pelham Business Association promotes our business community through the financial and volunteer support of various events and organizations. The Pelham Business Association has been a consistent contributor to the Fonthill Bandshell
and Pelham Canada Day festivities. This year, many of the board members assisted with the Pelham Summerfest organization and the Pelham Business Association was a Bronze Sponsor of the event.
The main marketing initiative this year was the “Did You Know” campaign, run through The Voice of Pelham, Pelham News, myPelham.com, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The campaign ran for twenty weeks, profiling a different business each week
to debunk common myths about Pelham businesses. The three areas of focus where price, accessibility and inventory availability.Each article and video showed how Pelham businesses can indeed compete with the larger cities and boxed stores.
Although the Pelham Business Association is just under five years old, we have already achieved a very supportive and involved membership. We have been successful in promoting unity within the Pelham business community,
in encouraging the general community to participate in Pelham business initiatives, and in forming partnerships for the betterment of the Pelham community. The Pelham Business Association is recognized by the Town Council, has Council representation on the Association’s Director’s Board, and our input has been and continues to be requested on a number of business issues. The Pelham Business Association is the largest professional network in Pelham.
We invite you to join us, so that you can get to know other members of the business community and to work with us to promote a business climate favorable to Pelham businesses. Regardless of whether you are a small, home-based business, or a large corporation, retail or service focused, you can benefit from the professional network that the Pelham Business Association has to offer! For more information on membership, please visit www.pelhambusiness association.ca.
