This weekend staff at The Beer Store are hoping to see lots of bottle returns.

It’s United Food & Commercial Workers Local 12R24 and The Beer Store’s annual Bottle Drive in support of Leukemia, with all bottle returns on Saturday, May 25 benefitting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.

Betty Epp at the Pelham Beer Store says the local business community has really gotten behind this year’s drive.

“It’s the first time I’ve approached the community,” she said, noting local restaurants Zest, Lazy Loon, Keith’s, Mossimo’s, My Place, Fonthill Legion, the Urban, and Look Out Golf have pledged

to donate their empty bottles to the drive, or make a donation, while others, including Country Corner and Giant Tiger are supporting the drive by providing items for the on site BBQ. Jackson Triggs winery is also committed to this year’s event, said Epp.

Giant FM 91.7, along with Labatt and Molson are also sponsors of the event.

“Fonthill is so small, it’s nice to see everyone supporting each other,” she said.

The customers in Pelham are also very supportive of the event, said Epp, noting many of their regular customers look forward to the drive and save their returns for that day.

Last year The Beer Store raised more than $1.6 million for Leukemia, with the Fonthill location raising more than $5,600.

This year, says Epp, she hopes to get above the $6,000 mark.

All returnable empties, from beer, wine and liquor, including

bottles, cans and tetra packs, are accepted.

The drive takes place on Saturday, May 25, the store is open 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., at the Fonthill location in Fonthill Shopping

Plaza. The Molson’s girls will be at the store in the morning and the Labatt girls well be there after noon.

Week 5: Photographing Outside - Avoid the Sun! There is this common misconception that photographing people in the sun is ideal. It’s warm, it’s beautiful and it’s bright ... perfect, right?

Well ... not quite. Certainly I’d agree that being in the sun is great for those very same reasons - warmth, beauty and brightness, but it doesn’t necessarily make for the best people pictures. When you photograph someone in the sun, there are three main reasons that it is less-than-ideal: 1. The sun produces a harsh light, and so it isn’t very flattering. It shows off any imperfections such as pimples and scars and it will highlight features that most people would normally rather mini-mize, such as baldness, larger noses, deep-set eyes, and so on. 2. The sunlight is very bright and so it is a contrasty light source, which means that the difference in brightness difference between the parts of your face that are not lit by the sun and the parts that are lit by the sun is very great. Digital cameras cannot expose for both the highlights and shadows in a photograph taken in the sun. You’ll end up with parts of the face that are near-black (too dark), or parts of the face that are near-white (too bright). 3. When you put someone in the bright sun, you’ll undoubtedly get them squinting at you because it is too bright. Again, not the best look.

When you are photographing outside, try and find open shade - somewhere where you won’t have direct sunlight, but still ample light, such as under a tree, in the shadow of a building, or on a covered veranda. You will end up with much more vibrant photo-graphs, less harsh and contrasty light and your subjects will appreciate how much more flattering the portrait is.

Soak up the sun, but just avoid it when possible for pictures and until next time ... happy snapping!

“He cared for all of his stu-dents,” said Edwards.

His entire career, said Edwards, Ward celebrated accomplish-ments at all levels adding he was also a very caring colleague.

“I’m so proud to be teaching in his classroom.”

Ward’s children, Stephen and Karen, spoke at the ceremony, thanking the school for honour-ing their father with the naming of the gymnasium.

“Dad would have been humbled, and honoured,” said Stephen.

Noting he knew Father Ward, Stephen said as children they didn’t often see Mr. Ward, the teacher, or Coach Ward,.

“I’m sure Father Ward and Coach Ward were not all that dif-ferent,” he said, “especially in the areas of discipline and expecta-tion.”

Stephen said he had little under-standing of the impact his father had until after his death when he saw the number of people who were at his funeral and who spoke to Stephen about what his father

had done for them when they were students.

“It makes me proud to be his son,” he said, going on to note the gymnasium named in his father’s honour will carry on his legacy.

“It means a great deal.”

/Special to the Voice

I wasn’t part of the committee or privy to the consultant’s decision-making reasoning during planning, but it seems to me that forethought and vision weren’t a big part of the downtown beautification.

Take for instance parking. It remains a huge issue -

especially on Thursday nights in the summer - yet to my untrained eye it appears there are fewer parking spots than before. Now, to be fair I didn’t count parking spots before construction and then again after - but it just seems there are fewer. Maybe I’m wrong (it’s shocking, I know, but it’s been known to happen).

The single spot in front of the CIBC was a contentious issue - it used to be for handicapped parking allowing customers of

the bank an accessible way to do their banking. That spot is gone and the town’s solution was, and I’m paraphrasing here, that it’s the CIBC’s issue and the bank’s responsibility to provide access. That seems a little wrong to my ear, if only because something had been provided for decades and should have been considered in any changes.

In any case - shouldn’t there have been more parking ? Angle parking, maybe, or fewer fancy additions that take up space.

And now, of course, the summer season has arrived and with it patio cafes.

I have nothing against our downtown businesses providing outdoor seating - I enjoy sitting in the sunshine as much as anyone and anything they can do to

improve business I’m for.My issue here is the forethought

- or lack thereof. Since the first trial patio last

summer there have been a number of complaints about pedestrian access, safety, and the use of town land for private business.

A policy was created, but so far I haven’t seen much in it that addresses those concerns. Sure the policy says that patios need to consider pedestrian access and safety, but it still allows cafe seating to eat up sidewalk space downtown. And one of the new patios for this season is eating up a parking spot too.

That’s not the way to handle the parking issue, at least in my humble opinion, not that one spot solves the bigger problem but taking parking away does

nothing for it. The new patios have already

garnered complaints, which prompted the Mayor’s column in last week’s Voice.

I don’t disagree with him about the benefit of patios, but I’m wondering why this wasn’t taken care of before beautification.

If the town wants to encourage outdoor patios in the downtown core, shouldn’t the redesign of the streetscape have been more accommodating - moving the sidewalk closer to the curb, for example.

I’m not a planner so maybe it was impossible in the space we had - but it seems to me an outdoor cafe policy, and major discussion about parking should have happened before we cast the new street design in concrete.

Announcing theWinnersof the 2013Pelham Art Festival RAFFLE

The Pelham Communities in Bloom Committee is gearing up for its 12th Annual Garden Tour this summer.

To ensure the tour is full of

vibrant, eclectic and interesting gardens, the committee is currently seeking gardens to feature on this year’s tour.

Sandra Harding says the

committee is looking for a wide variety of gardens.

“We’re looking for a little bit of everything,” she says, including vegetable gardens, flowers,

water gardens, a beautiful view or even an apartment or condo garden.

Gardens, she said, don’t need to be big or overly landscaped

to be included, adding the committee is looking more for unique gardens.

“Maybe someone has roses, or lilies, or something,” she said.

The committee wants to eliminate the fear that some people may have that their garden may not be “up to snuff.”

All garden owners will have a sitter to watch the property and may determine for the sitter

where they would like garden tour participants to walk or not walk on their property. There will be an incentive for those whose gardens are on the Garden Tour.

While the committee continues to work out the details and recruit gardens, the Garden Tour will take place Saturday July 13 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Communities in Bloom looking for unique gardens

In celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee the Town of Pelham held a special afternoon tea. That event was such a success, and so many have asked if there will be another, a Heritage Tea is planned for this summer.

On Saturday, June 29 the Town will host a Heritage Tea, set in the Georgian time period, between the 1790s and the 1820s.

The committee: Kaitlin Langenerg; Victoria McInnis; Cheryl Werner; Del Leney; Diane Watters; Jo-Ann Meeboer; Bev Lovejoy; Jessica Ruddell; and Jayne Watson, have been busy

planning an afternoon of tea, cakes and sandwiches.

There will also be a hat contest again this year, with three categories: most unique; most colourful and most authentic to the Georgian time period.

Guest are also encouraged to dress in the period, if they would like.

The tea will be held at Holy Trinity Church in three sittings, 11 a.m. to noon; 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. and, if necessary, 2 to 3 p.m. The hat contest will be from noon to 12:30 p.m.

Cost is $7 per person.

Heritage Tea planned for June 29

“I was quite proud when it was in Ponds magazine,” he said, adding it was quite an accomplishment for an amateur (adding the story did focus on some of his mistakes).

The other properties on the tour are just as beautiful and interesting.

Woods notes one home owner is an artist and sculptor and her work is placed among her garden, and also for sale. Another property features a huge, 30 foot water-fall the homeowner built himself, says Woods.

While the big features certainly provide “wow factor”, Woods says there are some smaller water features that are just as amazing, including a front

porch water feature. “It’s so cool,” said Woods of the front porch feature,

adding it is different from what most people expect.Whether the water feature is large or small, Woods

says they are all interesting to see and can offer ideas or tips for your own garden.

The tour, sponsored by Rice Road Greenhouses and Boldt Pools, will benefit The Hope Centre.

The self-guided tour runs June 22 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available at Rice Road Greenhouses, Boldt Pools and The Hope Centre.

Woods also noted there will a silent auction item at each property, but without the opportunity for bidders to watch the bidding unfold, so it will be interesting to see how bids are made and a surprise for the winner.

Children at Pelham’s Way To Grow Daycare at A.K. Wigg school were walking the neighbourhood last week.

The daycare was taking part in an annual walkathon to help children’s hospitals and help the children learn the value of giving.

Every year, the staff, parents and students of ADCO (Association of Day Care Operators in Ontario) child care programs organize

and participate in walkathon events to raise funds for Ontario’s Children’s Hospitals.

Together, these events become the ADCO “Kids Helping Kids” Walkathon, which in its 20-year history has generated more than $1,000,000 in funds for the province’s children’s health care facilities.

Supporting these efforts are businesses large and small from

across the province. Some are major suppliers to the childcare industry such as CCV Insurance & Financial Services. Others are small, owner-managed companies, such as retailers and restaurants that not only do business with local child care programs, but are their neighbours and customers.

At Way To Grow, the funds raised will specifically help McMaster Children’s Hospital.

The “Kids Helping Kids” Walkathon does much more than simply raise money for life-saving technologies and treatments for critically ill children.

“For more than 20 years now, ADCO members have been encouraging the children in their care to give to others without the expectation of material gain,” notes ADCO Co-President Kim Yeaman. “The walkathon is one

way we help children develop their sense of philanthropy and social responsibility. It helps them see that we’re all connected in some way and that giving to others

also helps them feel better about themselves. It’s an important lesson.”

Way to Grow daycare children helping other kids

STUDENTS at Way To Grow Daycare, at A.K. Wigg School, set out on their walk-a-thon Thursday to help raise funds for local children’s hospitals.
