Its myVOICE, Wednesday October 14, 2015 www.thevoiceofpelham.ca

In this installment, we will suggest how settlements and industry spread inland from watercourses due to road systems. Some of the rst roads were nothing more than modestly improved native trails while others were designated in Crown Grant surveys and now bare the names of early settler families. The

rst documented road in Pelham was River Road, which followed the bank of the Chippawa River (Welland River). River Road was one of the rst roads to submit to a need for more direct routes. Remaining dwellings from that period face not the river, but a long gone trail. Pelham Stone Road

(Sixteen Road) wound through Cooks Corners (North Pelham) as a direct route to the St. Catharines Toll Road. It exists today as in 1887 when it became the rst paved section in Pelham. North and South Pelham Street linked Becketts Mills (Ef ngham) to Browns Bridge settlement at the Chippawa River. Marshville Road (Church Street) connected Dif ns Corners (Fenwick) to the mills and roads of Marshville (Wain eet)

and Dunnville.Early road conditions were terrible. Trees were felled and laid to cross low ground creating what became known as a corduroy road. These roads created such a rough ride that passengers often got out of their vehicles and walked the log road

s e c t i o n . This log surface also took its toll on wagons, b u g g i e s , horses and equipment. T r a v e l was most tolerable in the frozen seasons, but spring often saw many roads break up with the thaw

of quicksand. To this day, quicksand still poses challenges for those maintaining many local roads.The Statute Labour Act of 1793 placed the responsibility of road repair on the landowners adjacent to a right of way. Farmers with teams

of horses w o u l d i m p r o v e the surface of the road by d ragg ing piles of p l a n k s up and down the road. This h e l p e d m a k e

roads more passable, but was a very dusty job. Enforcement of road repair proved dif cult, though, until 1801 when Pathmasters were appointed in Pelham, and later in 1836 elected. A Pathmasters duties were to uphold the Statute Labour Act and handle road related moneys for materials and nes. This Statute remained in place through the early 1900s when road work was then assumed by Town Council. Steam power freed industry from water power and the need to connect with agriculture-based businesses grew stronger. A land route to new markets was in order. One such artery that follows a prehistoric shoreline through Pelhams richest soil is the Great Western Road (Canboro Road). It was the vision of Benjamin Canby of Canbys Borough

(Canborough) who, in the 1840s, charted and linked Niagara Falls to Detroit through Amhestburg (south of Windsor). It was this route that encouraged settlement around coach stops and inns that soon sprung up at various crossroads. The Great Western Road would link Osbornes/Osmans Corners (Fonthill) to Riceville, Steeles Corners (Ridgeville), and Dif ns Corners (Fenwick) to commerce well beyond Pelhams boundaries. A g r i c u l t u r e - b a s e d business ourished in the crossroad settlements and would support churches, post of ces, mercantiles and artisans. The Great Western Road (Canboro Road) remains that link today and its history and topography make it worthy of heritage designation. Many early buildings that provided services to travelers and locals still exist along this historic route. Travel these trails today and place yourself in the role of our ancestors to better appreciate their footprint on this land.

Residents of Fenwick were in shock Saturday night after a shootout in the normally quiet village left three people injured, including two police of- cers.This is crazy, said one resident, who watched as emergency crews dealt with the aftermath. Its a small town, what the hecks going on?The shooting began at just after 7:30 P.M on Saturday, when of cers responded to a call at 704 Canboro Road about a

suicidal man armed with rearms and ammonium nitrate, an explosive com-pound commonly used in mining. While inside the apartment building, a male exited an apartment and engaged of cers with gun re, injuring two. At some point the male was also shot, though it re-mains unclear whether the wound was self-in ected. The injured of cers, Con-stables Neil Ridley and Jake Braun, were treated at a nearby hospital and later released. Both are expected to make a full re-covery. Niagara Regional Police Chief Jeffrey Mc-

Guire met with the of- cers and their families. I am incredibly proud of the courage and profes-sionalism of these of cers as well as everyone else who had a part to play in the event and the follow up, he said. Included in this group are the rest of the responding of cers, our dispatchers, the Cri-sis team, our Emergency Services Partners and the medical staff.The male, who is believed to reside on the third oor of the building, was also taken to hospital. His con-dition was unknown on Sunday.

Residents of the complex remained on edge even after the shooter was ap-prehended. We were pretty scared out here, said one man, who let the rst of cer into the build-ing. When we heard there were explosives we got pretty concerned.The Ontario Special In-vestigations Unit, which investigates all circum-stances where interactions between civilians and po-lice have caused serious injury, has invoked its mandate and is reviewing the case.

(NC) Kids who participate in hockey and other youth sports are learning just as much from the frustrations as they are from the fun. This may be hard for parents to witness however.

Looking at sports through the lens of a protective parent from all the bumps, bruises and scrapes, to getting benched by the coach is not the way an enthusiastic child sees this chance to participate. So encourage your children to play the sports they love and remember that bumps-and-bruises are some of the best learning mo-ments of all.

A lot of it will be out of your control, but what you can do is lay the groundwork for your child to succeed in any and all of their athletic interests, starting with this:

Knowing right versus wrongFostering good habits at home will help your children develop into healthy, pro-

ductive and well-balanced adults. Teaching right versus wrong gives them a sense of moral judgment in sports, but also in the daily choices they make. That means not succumbing to peer pressure to smoke or drink alcohol.

Eating healthfullyProviding proper nutrition not only fuels young bodies and minds, but also allows

for the muscles and brain to recover quickly from stress, injury, or fatigue. Make sure your children are getting enough essential vitamins and nutrients. Stock your fridge with pre-cut fresh fruits and veggies and sneak extra vegetables into their favourite foods, like spaghetti. To help fill in potential nutritional gaps, provide a multivitamin and mineral supplement that includes vitamin D and calcium to help them develop physicallyand the omega-3 fatty acid DHA, which has been shown to have neuroprotective benefits for the brain.

If you include DHA in a healthy diet during a young athletes grade school and high school years, it can aid in proper brain development and functioning, says Dr. Majid Fotuhi, founder and chief medical officer of the NeurExpand Brain Center.

Participating in activities off the iceEngagement in other activities beyond sports is important for young athletes. Re-

cent research looked at a possible connection between an extracurricular activity and school performance. The overwhelming conclusion: those who participate in a

club, sport, or arts program have better attendance, better grades and have a greater desire to continue on to college.

Valuing diversityAs in their future professional life, working alongside many different people (and

personalities) helps young athletes work toward a common goal. They learn to treat teammates, classmates and friends with a common respect, and learn to listen to and respect their coaches, teachers, or the adults in charge. During the unlucky bounces and bad calls, they learn the importance of rallying together to overcome adversity.

These are experiences your children will not have if you keep them in a bubble, or in front of the television. Do what you can as a parent and watch your children grow in ways that will benefit them long after they hang up their skates.

Guide your kids so they succeed in sports

A Green Party government will put Canadians to work by investing in well-paying, local, and sustainable jobs in our communities. Building a sustainable econo-my is serious business. Boom and bust cycles in the extrac-tive industries have taken a heavy toll on Canadian fami-lies and communities, and its long past time for us to invest in reliable, long-term, local jobs. The Green Party will estab-lish the Canadian Sustainable Generations Fund. This fund will make critical investments in trades, apprenticeships, and education, and will ensure that all Canadians have the skills and training to prosper today and contribute to building the Canada of tomorrow. These investments in skills train-ing will complement targeted national infrastructure invest-ments in energy ef ciency, renewable energy production, digital upgrades, clean tech manufacturing, tourism, the creative economy, and emerg-ing technologies.The gap between the infra-structure funding our cities and towns need, and the fund-ing they receive, is reaching crisis levels Canadas infra-structure de cit is estimated to be upwards of $350-bil-lion. We will work to close this gap by committing $6.4 billion per year, one point of the GST, to municipal infra-structure providing stable, long-term funding to Cana-dian municipalities, creating good local jobs, and building vibrant, safe, and livable Ca-nadian towns and cities.The Green Party will start investing in Canadas future by abolishing tuition fees for students without adequate nancial means, including removing the inadequate 2% annual increased funding for post-secondary education for all First Nations and Inuit stu-dents. Through consultation and collaboration with provin-cial governments and univer-sities and colleges, by 2020 we will abolish tuition fees for post-secondary education and skills training programmes for Canadians, guaranteeing that income is never a barrier for quali ed students. It is widely recognized that Canadas suc-cess depends on an educated population, yet we burden youth with tens of thousands of dollars in student debt.Small businesses and the

Canadians who own them are the central driver of our economy. They create more jobs than any other part of our economy. And those incomes and pro ts remain in the com-munity, providing stable em-ployment. As an added bonus, their exible nature allows them to respond to environ-mental and market demands well before large corporations take action. Putting Canadian small busi-nesses rst means reducing red tape for small business owners and enacting Think Small First legislation to en-sure that new federal laws and regulations enhance, rather than hinder, an economic en-vironment where local busi-nesses and entrepreneurs can thrive.A Green government will de-fend Canadas public health care and expand it to cover prescription medication for all Canadians and public den-tal coverage for low-income youth (under 18 years of age), and increase the emphasis on preventative health care.The Green Party will imple-ment a National Seniors Strategy. This plan will in-clude, a housing plan, with affordable, predictable home care support; a Guaranteed Livable Income to ensure no Canadian lives in poverty; Pharmacare; a National De-mentia Strategy, including more long-term care beds in neighbourhood facilities; an approach that supports aging in place; pension protection, expansion of CPP; promotion of intergenerational programs that allow our kids from tod-dlers to high school students to visit seniors and develop relationships that have proven bene ts to both generations; convenient and safe public transport to support indepen-dent living;These are just some parts of the Green Partys Platform. To learn all aspects of the Green Partys plan for a new and revitalized Canada you are urged to refer to www.greenparty.ca/platform. Fi-nally, as a party leader you will nd that there is no one who will work harder, for Canadians, than Green Party leader, Elizabeth May. If you are interested in a government that works for you, allows you to participate and restores the dignity of its citizens then you should vote for the Green Party in this election.

Ontarios hospital health care quality is wrapped in idealism of afford-ability and availability

to all its taxpayers and citizens. It is still per-ceived by many nations as one of the better health care systems in the world- a reasonable expectation, since Can-

ada, per capita, is one of the richest countries in the world. Nevertheless the Ni-agara Regions compre-hensive health care has become an emotional issue and of increasing public interest and con-cern. Groups protesting local hospital closures have formed and are viewed by some as representing a vocal. It may be closer to the truth that most of the public represents a silent majority who ob-ject, but feel helpless to prevent closures due to costs. Taxpayers are Inves-tors in HospitalsWe as taxpayers may be viewed as investors and stakeholders in hospi-tals who directly and indirectly pay for all health care costs. Our relationship is largely based upon respect and trust of those in charge. Even though many of the general public may not fully understand the overall details of our monopolistic health system, nevertheless as investors, we have the right and even the obli-gation to express opin-ions and to evaluate the functionality and results.A Centralized HospitalThe newly constructed centralized hospital in St. Catharines is a beau-tiful shining building on a hill and has probably increased public percep-tions of improved hos-pital health care for that municipality. The addi-tional proposed hospital in Niagara Falls could further complement that municipalitys existing hospital care services, especially if specializa-tions are added. Then

the people of Niagara may further bene t with advanced state of the art specialized health care. However, though bigger buildings and structures are impres-sive and enhance a vi-brant municipality, they do not automatically mean a better collective solution for present and future general hospital care for most people in Niagara. A centralized hospital may provide greater status and pres-tige for some, however like in any monopolis-tic organization, com-placency may gradually creep in and over time result in less quality at higher hospital health care costs. Our Human ValuesIt is important and es-sential to comprehen-sively address the re-alities of all direct and indirect costs in any organization. Wheth-er that be private and competitive, or involve government sponsored health care. However it is dif cult to easily justify the trading off the importance of hu-man life strictly with respect to direct nan-cial costs. Consider people, trapped (or just even one, child or senior) in a mine or avalanche etc. Even if the complex rescue is very costly, the rescuers response would not be limited to drilling a shaft and a statement like: We cant get you out, but we will send you some big Macs and if the budget allows, we will even super size them. We dont have enough money now to get you out!The local and global fo-cus would be to rescue

Todays world is full of uncertainty and change. It is marked by develop-ments and realities that threaten the security and stability of countries around the world. Re-cently, shocks to the oil and gas market, coupled with the emergence of horri c acts of terrorism, both at home and abroad, are what de ne such un-certainty. Canada has, and continues to, meet these conditions with strength and resolve, while main-taining its status as one of the best places to live, work and do business in. This is, rst and fore-most, because of the hard work of those of you who are present in this riding, and so many more Cana-dians from coast to coast to coast. Canadas place today, as a beacon of sta-bility, is also thanks to a choice we made ten years ago. A choice to elect a government that stands for the things that Canadians deserve lower taxes, se-curity, and the growth and protection of a $2 trillion economy. In this election, we are faced with a simi-lar choice. A choice about what kind of place we would like this country to be. Here in Canada, we are a kind and generous soci-ety, from our immigra-tion system to our social policies to our healthcare system. We are con dent on the world stage and we help our allies. Amidst some of the worse con- icts and crises in the world, this government has risen to the occasion and has taken decisive ac-tion to bring about peace and stability where it is absent. Our government has also worked to help small business succeed

and grow, it has worked to support seniors, and it has worked to make this place one of the best in the world to raise a family in. We created 1.3 million net new jobs since the depths of the recession, balanced the budget, and have delivered the lowest federal tax burden in over 50 years. Our government has also ensured lower taxes for small businesses and have saved their own-ers by $2.7 billion over the 201516 to the 201920 period. We have guaran-teed two-earner families of four across our nation tax relief and increased bene ts of up to $6,600 in 2015, and have supported our seniors by introduc-ing the largest Guaranteed Income Supplement in 25 years. As the Member of Parliament for this rid-ing, I see it as my duty to do the same. I have helped deliver a lower taxes plan for individuals, businesses and families, I have helped create jobs right here in Niagara West and I have brought mil-lions of dollars in fund-ing to the Niagara region. I have personally gone to bat for the needs and in-terests of thousands of in-dividuals and businesses. I have made it my job to not only know but be part of some of the great suc-cess stories right here in Niagara West. I have and will continue to make our communities and town-ships stronger. Growing the economy is important, especially locally, and if, with your support I have the privilege of being re-elected, I will continue to make Niagara West the best it can be.

Over the past two months, I have had the privilege of speaking to thousands of people in our community about their thoughts on our upcoming election. Many of the concerns that I hear surround the state of our economy, both in Niagara and in Canada as a whole. For these people, I have one simple message: a vote for the Liberal Party is a vote to put our economy back on track. The Conserva-tives certainly cannot be trusted. Stephen Harper has the worst economic record of any Prime Minister since the Great Depression, and has overseen the lowest rate of growth, job creation and improvement in living stan-dards since the 1930s. After inheriting a Liberal surplus, he delivered seven straight budget de cits, added $150 billion to our national debt, and only achieved his own surplus this year by holding back money allocated for es-sential services like support for our veterans. Canada was the last country in the G7 to emerge from recession, and the prospects for our future under a Conservative gov-ernment look bleak. Nine years of economic mismanagement have been keenly felt in Niagara. The decline of our manufacturing sector has seen thousands of good jobs disappear from our region with little to take their place. Now our farm-ers are under threat by the Trans-Paci c Partnership, a deal negotiated in secret without the input of ordinary Canadians, which threatens our system of supply man-agement and ensures that all Canadians have access to the highest quality agricultural goods. Short-term compen-sation will not make up for permanently lost market share, and the Harper gov-ernment cannot be trusted to follow through on its prom-ises. Meanwhile, too many of our seniors worry about their income security and access to affordable hous-ing, too many of our middle class families struggle to cope with rising prices and stagnating incomes, and too many of our talented young people feel that they have no choice but to leave Niagara to nd work. It doesnt have to be this way. The federal Liberal Party has a strong record of

economic management, and a plan to set things right after almost a decade of underper-formance. We will introduce the largest investment pro-gram in Canadian history, kick-starting our economy, creating jobs and modern-izing our infrastructure. We will cut taxes for the middle class, which we will pay for by raising taxes on the 1%, and our Canada Child Ben-e t will put money into the pockets of the families who need it the most while lifting 315,000 children out of pov-erty. We will stand up for Ni-agaras farmers by protect-ing supply management and by reinforcing business risk management programs that support them when times are tough. We will ght for Ni-agaras seniors by expanding and enhancing the Canada Pension Plan, increasing the Guaranteed Income Supple-ment by 10% and building seniors housing and facili-ties. And we will champion Niagaras young people by investing in youth employ-ment and internships while making higher education more affordable.The Liberals are the only op-tion for real change in Niag-ara West. Tom Mulcair and the NDP have effectively adopted the Conservatives plan for austerity, and have announced a budget plan so full of holes that former parliamentary budget of- cer Kevin Page likened it to Swiss-cheese. And as the NDP continue to slump in the polls, it is increasingly clear that a vote for them in Niagara West is effectively a vote for Mr. Harper. I pledge to represent all residents of Niagara West, regardless of their political stripes, and will hold regular town hall meetings and form special focus groups to nd local solutions to local issues. The Liberal Party is also com-mitted to electoral reform, and when elected, will work with all parties to design a new, fairer system that en-sures every vote counts. On October 19, the peo-ple of Niagara will have a choice between growth and austerity, between invest-ment and cuts, and between a government that offers the same failed policies and one that works for hardworking Canadians. A better future is possible. Lets build it to-gether.

The NDP in Niagara West is the largest non-conserva-tive voting block in Niagara West and represents the best chance for change.The NDP that stands in front of you is not your grandfa-thers NDP. We are com-mitted to completing Jack Laytons vision of Canada, where we balance a strong economy with the social re-sponsibility needed to look after our most vulnerable peoples. We understand that jobs help provide stable fam-ilies, stable families build vibrant communities and vibrant communities are the bedrock of a great nation. To do that means meeting the unique regional and lo-cal challenges head on. What does that mean in Niagara? In the last decade we have seen the two cores of Niaga-ras economy, manufacturing and agriculture, slowly bleed away. Chronic job ight from the manufacturing sector has slashed over 20,000 jobs (ap-proximately 40%) from our industrial base, resulting in one of the highest unemploy-ment rates in the country. Our agricultural sector has seen its tender fruit segment shrink due to the loss of can-neries and food processing plants. Our dairy, poultry and egg farmers will collectively receive a 3 billion dollar hit from the Harper govern-ments Trans-Paci c Partner-ship (TPP). The TPP may in fact cut another 20-40,000 jobs from our automotive sector.The NDPs approach to put Niagara back on the path to prosperity is simple:

Support Niagaras 800 small manufacturing facili-ties by reducing small busi-ness tax from 11 to 9 percent. Allow them to earn more and grow so that in return, they can hire. Cut bureaucracy and red-tape for businesses Focus on the automotive and aerospace sectors, that still employ over 250,000

people in Ontario, with mea-sures like Innovation Tax Credit Protect the Supply Manage-ment System for our dairy, poultry and egg farmers from the harmful effects of the TPP, and bring back agri-in-frastructure such as canner-ies. These are just some of the measures that can help Ni-agaras economy, in ways that deal with the problems at hand. To do this we need to enable people who want to work. To this end, the NDP will create over 91,000 job train-ing positions to reduce our chronic unemployment rate and get people working in other sectors. Simple mea-sures like $15-a-day child-care helps keeps money in familys pockets while providing the freedom and incentive for parents to get work, should they desire. Yet our greatest legacy will be in how we treat our most vulnerable people. Niagara has an aging population that will need to be looked after in a myriad of ways. Simple measures like strengthening CPP, boost-ing OAS, protecting pension plans from company bank-ruptcy (so that the US Steel/Stelco mess does not happen to other people) and continu-ing to ensuring pension split-ting can help lift seniors out of poverty. Targeting senior-speci c healthcare needs by strength-ening home-care, creating more nursing home bed and creating affordable housing units will allow seniors to live with dignity. Yet words and talk mean nothing without a mandate for action. The only way I can ful ll these commitments is if you, the good peoples of Niagara, unite behind the NDP and give us the man-date to move ahead on these important issues. I urge you to vote Rahman this election day. But if nothing else, just vote.

This Week In BaseballThe Pelham Green-Gators T-ball team continues to gel and all players are showing great improvement in skill and performance both on and off the diamond. Over the last two games, Noah Pupo and Dylan Pietracupa have clearly established themselves as power hitters on the team. The base running skills of Morgan Cairney and Owen Sawyer are jaw-dropping. Sarah Matiesh and Hudson McLachlin demonstrate their raw talent for fielding hard hit balls every time they take the field. Everyone on the team is making Pelham proud!The Blue Thunder were anxious to play ball Thursday night after a Tuesday night rain out! During practice, Sarah Frost worked hard at cross overs and fielding balls! During the game, Cole Robins smashed out some amazing hits as well as provided back up to the front row crew who were catching balls on the line. Fernando Levert caught a one hop grounder with much enthusiasm! Way to go Blue

Thunder in your first 3 inning game!!!Tim Hortons Silver Hawks had another exciting game on Monday night. Dylan Powell hit a long ball to the field, and Jakob Prins continues to help the team with his routine fielding. The silver Hawks continue to learn how to work as a team. Go Silver Hawks!The Star Tile Lucky Leprechauns had one game this week, but it was a significant win over the first place Welland Twins! A two run scoring triple by Brock in the first inning set the tone for the game as the Leprechauns pushed the Twins outfielders back time and time again. Noah got a critical base hit, Julian screamed one to the outfield and the entire line-up each got at least one base hit this game. However, this game was won on the field, with Adam getting an out at second, Cameron fielding the ball at short stop for a second out and several excellent stops by Madison, Olivia and Kasey. Playoffs begin this week,

so lets go get em Leprechauns!The Miller Restoration Mosquito Rep team had a quieter week with only one game against the Niagara Falls Majors. A strong start with 7 strike outs by pitcher Ethan Wells gave Pelham a chance for an early lead. A brilliant fly catch was made by center fielder Ryan Culig and Cole Townson and Brendan Grenville participated in an infield fly double play. Jake Passmore, Wyatt Gibson and William Baltrusiunas got the sticks going for an exciting inning with aggressive base running. First baseman Andrew Behring was on the receiving end of a hard throw to complete the out at his base. Logan Cairney made a quick throw from right to nail the runner at first late in the game. Looking sharp at third, Jacob Laewetz logged several forced outs and worked with his catcher to rob a runner attempting to steal his base. Despite leading for the majority of the game, Pelham couldnt quite hold on for the win

but hopes to even the score against the Majors in this weeks game!The Fonthill Dental Bantam team continued its strong play this season, finishing near the top of the

standings heading into the playoffs. In their game this week, Ryan Dykstra pitched 4 strong innings, Braiden Leney and Josh George made fine defensive plays, and

Brock Pellow provided an RBI single.

The PMBA thanks our many generous sponsors for their support of our program this season.

those trapped in time, ir-respective of perceived costs. Volunteers, if required, would come from various parts of Canada and elsewhere. The concern of avail-able time to save lives would overshadow the

realities of costs. The public would not accept anything less! Such un-expected sudden tragic events unite us as car-ing people for human life.

Look for Part Two of Our Hospital and Our Health next week, where Dr. Slavickas addresses some of the practical realities and challenges facing health care in the region.

Last week the Fonthill Legion hosted the 3rd annual Health and Well-ness Fair in partnership with the Fonthill Li-brary. The fair brought in over thirty vendors from both the non-pro t and private sectors.I used to work with Community Support Services of Niagara, and one of the things I

was seeing was that of-ten people didnt know what was available until a crisis situation hit, said Library senior services coordinator Melanie Taylor-Ridg-way. People were nd-ing themselves unwell or with families living in different cities and there wasnt one place that people could go to

and have all their needs met. Having lived and seen that for many years, Melanie felt it was a good opportunity to showcase the non-pro ts that people have available in the area when she took on her role at the library . The idea was well-received and today the fair con-tinues to expand, and

provides an excellent educational opportunity for new and old resi-dents alike.Weve grown to regu-larly having 35 differ-ent vendors in a mix of non-pro ts and private businesses able to come out and inform residents about whats available in the community.

Students and staff at E.L Crossley held an-other successful Rankin Run this year, raising over $6000 for local cancer support orga-nizations. Some dona-tions are still being col-lected, and tickets are still being sold for their raffle at the end of the month, which will in-

clude, among other items, a pair of dia-mond earrings donated by Harmony Jewellers valued at over $1000.This years event was organized by teacher Karen Chcoskis grade 12 business students, who took it on as a class project.Its an amazing opportunity, said stu-

dent Kaitlyn Luttjehui-zen, who helped out by approaching businesses about donations and contributions. It feels really good to give back to the community, and its great that all the money that we raise is going back to the Ni-agara community.

TALENT SHOW & AUCTION

Recently, there was yet another school shooting. It is both natural and appropriate to respond to such a tragedy with shock and outrage: we all want to be able to live in a world without living in fear. When our lives are disrupted in such a gruesome and violent way, we naturally cry out for something to be done, to prevent another tragedy. Most people want to see a more peaceful world, and many assume that if it were harder to get ahold of guns, there would be less crime and violence in the world. But will that really be the outcome? Does a person need a gun to commit violence? A knife, a

car, or any large object could be a weapon, but most of us would never dream of using those things to hurt someone! The presence of a gun does not automatically mean that violence will ensue. Is the problem really about how many guns are in the world? Or is it about what kind of people are in the world? Some people are skeptical that a persons upbringing can affect who they turn out to be, but just imagine this scenario: a home in which the parents are easily irritated, quick to anger, and manifest their anger with both emotional and physical abuse. There is no empathy or understanding with each other or with their kids, and family

members are afraid to speak their minds and develop independent personalities. If you could listen in, you would hear ridicule, insults, put-downs, and discouragement. You would not hear negotiation, but instead demands and threats.

Values and morality are not taught or demonstrated; instead, the parents simply seek

to control the children, threatening them (or worse). Chances are that a person growing up in this environment will be dysfunctional, which can lead to being violent. However, even though it is dif cult, a person who grew up in a dysfunctional family can still make the choice to break the cycle: each person has the choice to have peaceful, loving, and healthy relationships. All too often we try to get others to change, but in reality, we do not have the power to change others; we only have the power to change ourselves and our family environment. If we want to see

change in others, we need to in uence them by demonstrating peace in our own families. We need to develop patience and humbly work with one another to see our families become peaceful and loving. Keep anger in check, and instead seek to feel what others are feeling. Provide an environment where everyone in the family feels like they can be themselves and express themselves accordingly. Be curious about each family members interests, and support and encourage one another in the pursuit of those interests. Most importantly, do not simply demand that others do the right thing,

but rather demonstrate the right way to live. Make sure that the rules of the home are reasonable, and expected of everyone. And, when a person inevitably makes a mistake, do not respond with anger or punishment, but rather patiently work with them to try again. To have peace and safety in our world, it is up to each of us to ensure that we ourselves are peaceful, and that we are raising children to become peaceful adults. The family is the environment that shapes who we become, and society is made from a combination of everyones family experiences. What kind of society do you want?

Change Starts with YouBy Pastor

When the home is quiet, it is not

because the family is enjoying a time of bonding, but instead because family members are ignored, or

absent.
