Pelham firefighters to hold eWaste Day to raise funds for new training equipment

On Saturday, August 27, the Fonthill firefight-ers will head over to the Municipal Building and spend five hours working as junk collectors.

The Pelham Fire De-partment Extrication Team will be hosting an

electronic recycling day (eWaste Day) from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm at Pelham Town Hall.

Robert Belchoir, a vol-unteer firefighter and member of the extrication team, says that he got the idea to host an eWaste day from a friend.

“I heard about the idea via a friend who is a vol-unteer in Niagara Falls,”

says Belchoir. “They had a successful eWaste Day a few months ago.”

Belchoir says that Ontar-io Electronic Stewardship (OES), a company that specializes in recycling electronics, will provide the equipment to collect the electronic waste. The company consolidates the waste at a factory in the Hamilton area, and from

there it is sent to one of a dozen or so North Ameri-can facilities that break it down in a responsible manner.

“I asked the OES repre-sentative for assurance that the material would not be shipped to Third World countries that use open-air burning to smelt out the metals, and he as-sured me that the material is processed here,” says Belchoir.

The firefighters have much to gain from collect-ing the waste.

“We’ll receive $185 per tonne collected,” says Belchoir.

According to Belchoir, the money raised will be used to help purchase new stabilization equipment (used to secure vehicles at a collision scene to en-sure the safety of patients and first responders).

“The new equipment is easier to transport, quicker to setup, and takes up less space on the rescue vehicles,” he says. “Our goal as a team is to acquire new equipment, evaluate it at practices and competitions, then make recommendations to the fire department as to whether the equipment should be acquired for all three stations.”

The extrication team is dispatched to open ve-hicles at accident scenes, it also competes in fire-fighter games in Canada

and the United States. The Pelham team has won medals and trophies dur-ing such competitions.

Examples of eWaste include computers, televisions, printers, telephones, cellphones, answering machines, stereo receivers, mp3 de-vices, tape recorders, VHS machines, fax machines, pagers, scanners, video projectors, tuners, turn-

tables, and amplifiers.“Electronic waste con-

tains valuable metals which are expensive to mine; some of these met-als can also be harmful to humans and the environ-ment,” says Belchoir. “By recycling, we divert them from being landfilled (and potentially leaching into the environment), and help reduce the need for new mining activities.”

Volunteer firefighter, Robert Belchoir, prepares to dump a box of electronic waste. The Pelham fire-fighters will be hosting an e-Waste recycling day on Saturday, August 27, at the Municipal Building.

Belly fat is a stubborn problem.

No end of sit-ups and

crunches make it disappear.

Starving and running on the treadmill for hours every week doesn’t seem to budge belly fat either. We know there is a connection between our expanding waistlines and our hormones. The main hormone contributing to belly fat is insulin. Insulin is a powerful hormone that, when in excess, also causes an elevation in circulating male hormones in women, causingmale facial hair growth and acne too. In men, elevated insulin results in a beer belly and breasts.

Elevated insulin promotes weight gain, high cholesterol, diabetes and excess belly fat. Skin tags are an early sign of pre-diabetes. Thankfully, busting belly fat and normalizing insulin just got easier. The nutrient Chirositol™ (pronounced “kur-au-sit-ol”), researched in over 30 studies at the Virginia Medical School, works for pre-diabetes, Type-2 diabetes, excess male hormone-related conditions like acne, PCOS, and male facial hair growth in women. Chirositol™ has also been shown to reduce appetite and improve ourhappy hormone serotonin, which halts sugar cravings and controls appetite. But where Chirositol™ really shines is in fighting belly fat in both men and women.

There are very few things that time does not change in our lifetime. Aside from what nature changes, over which we may have little control, there are many variations made to our way-of-life by our govern-ing systems, many posi-tive and some negative depending on the motiva-tions and influences.

Not long ago it seemed a sort of pleasure to drive across the border into the U.S. with just a short time spent going through cus-toms on both sides, but now it is common to wait in long lines of very slow moving, idling vehicles for at times up to an hour, breathing in unhealthy emissions. It is unfortu-nate that the vast majority of law-abiding travellers are affected in this way because of the reasons for the ever-tightening se-curity procedures, which may include our national multiculturalism and/or globalization.

A short time ago I visited my attorney’s office for an appointment, and after greeting me the recep-tionist asked me to show her two articles of proof of my identification.

I said, “Don’t tell me you don’t know me after all these years?”

She replied, “Of course I do, Mr. Newell, but this

is a new rule set out by the Law Society and it ap-plies to all lawyers’ clients in Ontario because of what’s been happening in Toronto, with people making false identity claims. It’s really for your own protection, so I’ll just photocopy these and we’ll have them just in case.” I smiled, “OK, but I hope you’ll continue to recognize me whenever I come in again”.

In reference to the instal-lation of the four ‘speed-bumps’ in the newly improved Haist Street it seems to me there is a growing lack of trust in the majority of our com-munity car drivers due to the conduct of a small percentage of speed-limit-violators, where all the ‘speed-limit-abiding drivers’ must now drive over them at a speed well below the limit to avoid damage to their vehicles. This is the first I’ve seen this done on a public thoroughfare, and I won-der how far the idea may spread.

One outstanding exam-ple of possible changes taking place in our Ca-nadian principles took place this spring in Port Hope, Ontario, when a commemorative stone was placed in the Veter-ans Walkway at the War

Memorial Cenotaph in honor of a WWII soldier of the German army who had immigrated to Canada after the war. The Port Hope city council approved the placing of the marker with the statement, “We have to remember all those who fought, whether Canadian or German.”

I have no fault with the dedication of the memory stone, but I do with where they’ve had it placed.

Are these signs of things yet to come?

The barbecue season has been a long time coming in 2011. A wet, cool spring with only a few warm days into June really wasn’t very condu-cive to backyard dining or cooking. However, with the merciful end to the hockey season in June, we began to experience something more like summer, and since early last month, the smell of grilled food once again wafts across the neigh-bourhood. Barbecue sea-son, a celebration of local foods, cooked and eaten by gatherings of friends and family—the essence of Slow Food.

The main event in Slow Food Pelham’s summer calendar is a barbecue; the Featherstone Lamb Roast in late August or

early September. That’s when our members gather to put on a feast for themselves and guests and anyone else who likes slow cooked lamb on a spit accompanied with all the local bounty our region produces. Featherstone Winery near Vineland uses lambs to thin the grape leaves on their vines, thus ex-posing the grapes to the sun and insuring faster, more complete ripening for their award winning wines. It also produces succulent, grape leaf-fed lamb. This will mark the fourth year that Slow Food Pelham has worked with Louise Engel and Dave Johnson of Feather-stone to provide this tasty feast on the very convivial wrap-around verandah of

their winery home.The key to roasting a

whole lamb is the bar-becue. It must be big enough to cover the entire spitted lamb and must have a motorized rotisserie to turn the lamb evenly over the coals. Oh, I know a hand-turned rotisserie is more traditional, but I have seen too many instances of meat burned on one side and undercooked on the other because the cook became distracted or was enjoying his rosé too much and didn’t turn the spit consistently. We are very fortunate to have on loan Michael and Anna Olson’s personal barbecue, a magnificent monster converted from an old oil tank. The char-coal is suspended over

the bottom of the tank on a steel grid, and the large lid can be pulled over the turning lamb to keep the heat in for quicker and more even cooking. The device is so large that we can cook pans of local po-tatoes and onions under the turning lamb, basting them with the juice from the lamb as they cook.

Daniel Boudin and I are the designated chefs, and over the three years we have been roasting the lamb, we have developed our technique. We cook the lamb for about 3 1/2 hours, regulating the temperature by adding or spreading the charcoal underneath it, and test-ing with an instant-read thermometer at frequent intervals. During cook-ing, we baste with olive

oil that has several garlic cubes submerged in it, and use a brush made of rosemary twigs to do the basting. When we pre-pare the lamb, we stuff it with rosemary and garlic cloves before sewing it up and inserting the spit. The potatoes go on about two hours before serving and are nicely crisped and brown on the outside but still light and fluffy on the inside if we get it just right. The lamb is carved at the table, and served with the onions and potatoes, salads, vegetables, home-made desserts prepared by other members of our little group, cheeses from Chez Fromage Etc. (now in Fonthill), and, of course, Featherstone wines. It is a wonderful celebration of summer

and of the barbecue.This year’s Featherstone

Lamb Roast will take place on September 10 at Featherstone Winery. Contact the President of Slow Food Pelham, Renée Girard at [email protected] if you are in-terested in attending (but seats are very limited, as we try to keep the event as intimate and convivial as possible).

I have been reading about the town council not renewing the contract with fire chief Scott McLeod, and several things I find puzzling. A special meet-ing was held, probably not open to the public, and our local council decided to terminate the chief. Why? What did he do wrong?

Since the mayor, council and fire chief salaries are all paid for by the tax paying residents of Pelham, I believe the taxpay-ers have the right to know why this has occured. The council has an obligation to the residents to spend our money in

a wise and proper manner, and to keep the public informed.

Was this a fair and proper termina-tion of employment or just a conflict of interest because the chief disagreed with council? The mayor’s comments, as quoted in the local papers, indicate to me that chief McLeod performed his duties in a proper manner.

So again, the question is “why” has this happened?

Sometimes, a makeover can go a long way—even if the subject is a house.

Jody Carriere, owner of Roots of Life Redesign, un-derstands the value added to a home when all of the little details are taken care of. The Fenwick resident has had a lot of experi-

ence with houses, and she knows how to extract every last dollar out of a sale—something that she, through her business, is happy to pass on to her clients.

Carriere says that she used to buy and flip hous-es back when the market was better.

“I bought my first house at the age of 18, and I flipped it for money,” she

says. “I’ve since bought and flipped several hous-es for profit.”

Carriere says that most of the houses she ever purchased were dated and/or in need of repair.

“Even when I moved to Fenwick, I looked non-stop for a month, and ev-ery house I looked at was dated,” she says.

Carriere says that many of the properties belong to eldery people who’ve passed away or moved on to nursing homes, and several other properties were previous student rentals. Furthermore, she says that, today, there are so many houses on the market—making it harder for any one house to com-pete.

“After looking at a cou-ple of houses, the rest of them are just the same,” she says. “There are just so many out there; a house must stand out right away in order to move it.”

Carriere, who operates the business with the help of her daughter, Courtin, says the pair will peruse a house, and them select its best features.

“We then work from there,” she says.

The company offers sim-

ple staging solutions and an even accommodate major renovations. Carri-ere says that the company can easily work with con-tractors, and can handle any vision dreamed up by a homeowner.

To further hone her cre-ative side, Carriere took several art and interior design courses. That said, Carriere asserts that she doesn’t like to be con-fined when it comes to her work.

“We sit down and get to know the client,” she

says. “I don’t want to be confined by the rules of interior design; I want to create unique living spaces.”

And for anyone hoping to sell a home in a satu-rated market, attention to detail is a must. According to Carriere, it’s crucial for vendors to bring their properties up to today’s real estate standards. She says that, often times, if people would just fix a few obvious shortcom-ings, their properties would sell much quicker.

“Many people don’t have the time to refurbish base-boards and trim,” says Carriere. But, she claims, those are the kinds of de-tails that buyers notice.

Roots of Life Redesign has demonstrated its abil-ity to think outside the box through its work on several area homes. The company has recently up-graded homes on Balfour Street and Centre Street.

“I want to do more work in Pelham,” says Carriere. “I absolutely love this town.”

A gardener’s dream!


The firefighters at Pelham Fire Station No. 3 have responded to their share of calls for help. But this time, it’s the fire-fighters themselves who are doing the calling.

During an August 15 Town Council meeting, it was made clear that the fire station is in dire need of repair. As such, Town Council has approved and allo-cated $10,000 for repairs.

The facility needs its entrance doors and door sills replaced, a fresh paint job, a safety railing in its elevated stor-age area, and a fenced-in compound to secure its all-terrain vehicle. Also on the list of improvements is to contract an exterminator to help rid the building of mice.

Town council will pull the $10,000 from a working funds reserve. The above-listed problems are just the tip of the iceberg—the fire station is currently in a leased, 10-year-old facility, and other issues will need to be addressed down the road. Knowing this, town council has asked staff to prepare terms of reference to deal with future facility requirements for the fire station.

In a written report, acting fire chief Jim Phelps and Captain Jack Junkin listed some of the immediate problems, and stated that it is now time to determine the future facility requirements for Fire Station #3.

“There is no quick fix here,” says Mar-tin Yamich, Town of Pelham chief ad-ministrative officer.

He then went on to say that the imme-diate problems can be handled.

Fire Station #3 in dire need of repair

On Thursday, August 18, Blind Fate (sponsored by Star Tile Centre) will be playing at the Band-shell in Peace Park. Blind Fate has a passion for music and likes to share that passion with their audiences. Formed in Fonthill in 2004, the four-member group is thrilled to be playing in their hometown this summer at the bandshell. The band plays every week in various venues throughout the Niagara region and covers a wide variety of classic rock and top 40 adult contemporary hits from the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s. The band’s rapport and interaction with the audience, as well as its positive energy, always makes for an entertaining show.


A group of art campers turned into zombies to celebrate the final day of In the Orchard’s Zombie art camp. Over the week, the students created life-sized skeletons by tracing their bodies onto paper, and then painting the drawings with glow-in-the-dark paint. They also made eyeballs and bats, and learned to do their own make-up. The students converted the art studio into a haunted house, and wrapped up the day with a zombie parade in the community.

Thank you!Fenwick Softball Association’s Blastball season was a suc-cess! Players between the ages of 3 and 6 met on Tuesday evenings from May to August to develop their baseball skills. We started the season off with just learning how to run the bases and ended with strong hits off the tee and hitting pitched balls. A special thank you goes out to our volunteer coaches and parents for the Blue, Green, Red and White teams. Your dedication to teaching our play-ers and after game treats was greatly appreciated! Thank you to the Fenwick Firefighters Association for sponsoring our teams, Fenwick Lions for supplying our food on play day and Ethan Guitard for lining our fields and setting up equipment. Thank you to our Fenwick Softball Associa-tion members, Dinah Finamore (President), Leah Guitard (Schedules) and Adam Arbour (Treasurer). We are looking forward to another wonderful season in 2012!

Lampman’s wins three

Coming off of a win, the Meridian Credit Union Fonthill Dental U9 boys prepared themselves to increase their ranking in the standings. Next up to play was Grimsby. With their 3-3 formation, the starters included Damien Pullar, Elijah Taylor, Drew Colangelo and Nicholas Longo, Ryan Belovari, and Mathew Diraddo on defense and David Greczkowski in goal. The panthers took possession early in the game continually invad-ing Grimsby’s territory. With a corner kick oppor-tunity Longo took a shot, the ball sailed through the shield to Colangelo, who sent it back to Lon-

go. A cross pass landed the ball in Pullar’s site, with a hard kick he sent it into the net. A quick line change brought Har-mon Narbonne, Harrison Doan, Antonio DeChellis, and Mason Sterr onto the field. An early attack by Narbonne saw another shot that narrowly missed the goal. Taking control Grimsby charged up the field, but weren’t pre-pared for the strong goal keeping skill of Grecz-kowski. With a huge save the ball was sent back into play. The pressure kept up by the opposing team and one ball even-tually made it through the line and into the net. Staying positive, DeCh-

ellis trapped the ball on the next aggressive attack by Grimsby and took the opportunity to drive the play back into Pelham’s advantage, kicking it up and over the opposi-tion. Capitalizing on an opening Colangelo sent a forward pass to Taylor, who was able to break through and make quick work of the defense and pass it back to Colangelo. This resulted in a precise shot by Orange Crush for a second goal. The sec-ond half saw more of the incredible goal keeping as Greczkowksi deflected the ball shutting down the chances of Grimsby scoring. With the help of the lightening speed of Sterr the ball spent very little time in the Panthers zone. Pelham’s third goal occurred from a phenom-enal throw in by Diraddo, the ball sailed perfectly overhead to Doan, and with a quick cross pass to

Colangelo it was sent past the keeper and in. An-other push was stopped abruptly by Belovari with a chest trap, dribbling it up and around brought the ball back into the end zone. Taylor took posses-sion and charged up to the net barely missing. A second corner kick by Longo saw the ball sail through the attempted shield to score another goal. A race up the field with a challenging fron-tal attack by Grimsby didn’t deter Narbonne from raising the number of goals to 5. Doan kept the pressure up taking another shot during a 2 on 1 frontal attack. The end result was a score of 5-1 for the Pelham Pan-thers. The game finished with Grimsby taking 9 shots on goal in the first and only 4 in the second thanks to the intensive defense play. Well done to all of the players!

U9 Boys aim for high rankings
