The automotive industry has changed a lot since 1961 when domestic cars ruled the road, gas sold for about 30 cents a gallon and fuel injection engines were still on the design board and not the assembly line.
The one constant in the past 50 years, however, has been Clarence’s Ser-vice Centre on Canboro Road. Clarence Dam pur-chased the business in 1961 and a couple of years later demolished the exist-ing building and erected a new garage which remains a beehive of activity today with cars and trucks of all shapes and sizes getting a mechanical makeover.
Clarence Dam passed
away in 1996, but his leg-acy lives on in the garage and the mechanics that run it—his sons Hans and Louie, who purchased the business from their father in 1980.
“We’ve never had an-other job; I started work-ing the garage when I was 12,” says Hans. “I would help out however I could; I did try a picking job once but I didn’t like it.”
It wasn’t a certainty that one of Clarence Dam’s five sons would follow in his footsteps.
“At a certain point, we had a choice to make,” says Hans. “I have three other brothers who aren’t in the business, my dad never made us take over the business; it was our choice.”
At one time, Clarence’s sold Sunoco fuel but the
advent of the drive thru society where everyone was in a hurry to gas up, grab a coffee and hit the road again forced a change in direction in 1993.
“At one time there were six gas stations in this town,” says Louie. “There isn’t one left now—so we now focus on general re-pairs, domestic or foreign cars, we fix ‘em all.”
The changes in automo-tive technology over the past five decades have kept the brothers on their toes and Hans acknowl-edges that it is all about diagnosing the problem these days.
“Cars have evolved from points, condensers and generators to electronic ignitions, air bags, ABS brakes and a whole lot of other stuff,” says Louie. “Cars go faster, they last
longer, people drive many more kilometers but they haven’t made a car yet that doesn’t need to be repaired.”
Neither Hans or Louie have sons who will one day follow in their foot-steps but they are optimis-tic that when it comes time for them to hang up their wrenches, the business will continue as a legacy to them and their father.
“I hope it remains a go-ing concern,” says Louie. “It’s in a good location and served us well; it has been a very viable business with a lot of community clientele. We have always been a com-munity-based shop.”
On September 10, Hans and Louie are invit-ing their customers to an open house at the garage to celebrate 50 years in
business. From 9 a.m. to noon, there will be clas-sic cars, a barbecue and raffles.
“It’s a chance for us to say thank you to all our customers for their sup-port over the years,” says Louie. “We have a lot of return customers and the children of our cus-tomers bring their cars to us now and we are very appreciative.”

Once again this year the Fonthill Volunteer Fire-fighters Association is go-ing to the dogs.
And the cats, too.Beginning September
12, the firefighters are ask-ing residents to drop off dog and cat food at Fire Station No. 1 on Highway 20. All donations will be given to the Welland and District Humane Society.
Donations will be ac-cepted by the office staff between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. or can be left near the front door if residents are unable to get to the fire hall during
regular office hours. The pet food drive will con-tinue until September 17.
Volunteer firefighter Rod Richards noted the initia-tive began last year and was highly successful with enough food donated to fill two half-ton pick up trucks as well as the trunk of Richards’ car.
“The people of Pelham were very generous last year like they always are and the Humane Society was very grateful and sup-portive of the idea, so we decided to do it again this year,” says Richards. “I was very surprised at how well we did for the first year. We had people bring us lots of stuff.”
Richards added that the
Humane Society would prefer donations of canned dog or cat food, but food of any kind is always appreciated.
“Canned food has more nutrition,” explains Rich-ards. “When they get an animal in distress, they want to give it canned food because it has more nutritional qualities in a smaller quantity than dry food. Obviously, dry food won’t be turned away but they would prefer canned food for dogs or cats.”

Following an incident in a Greater Toronto Area apart-ment unit where two oc-cupants were injured, the Pelham Fire Department is urging residents to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the single burner camp stove called the “Cassette Cooker.”
Residents are urged to read the warning labels and instruc-tions regarding the appliance
and to turn over the drip pan, prior to using the cooker, so the supports for the pot or pan are facing up.
Although the cooker has a “safety device” intended to prevent the installation of a butane canister when the drip pan is face down, this device can be easily circumvented.
The Pelham Fire Department is concerned that when the bu-
tane canister is improperly in-stalled and the drip pan is face down, the pot or pan can block the burner opening, forcing the hot gases down into the appliance enclosure. Some of these gases pass through bulk-head openings into the fuel compartment causing pressure to build and the temperature to increase in the butane can-ister. These events occurred
in the incident above and re-sulted in a fireball, injuring the occupants.
“To prevent injury, always follow the manufacturer’s in-structions,” says Fire Preven-tion Officer Saskia Holditch.
These camp stoves are certi-fied for outdoor use only in accordance with CSA 11.2-2000 “CSA Standard for Por-table Type Gas Camp Stoves”.
In addition, these cookers are approved for indoor use in restaurants under CSA Techni-cal Information Letter (T. I. L.) R-21 “Portable Butane Cook Stoves for Restaurant Use”.
The Cassette Cooker, is be-ing sold in large retail stores and smaller supermarkets for as little as $11.99 (+ tax) and it comes in a plastic case.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for single burner camp stove, warns fire service

Letters to the editor
YoUr VoiCe
This time of year can be a busy one for families in the Niagara region, especially those with kids returning to school or college. And, whether getting ready for school or taking one last day trip as a family, it can also be an expensive time of year, too.
Over the last eight years under Dalton “The Tax Man” McGuinty, families have found it harder to make ends meet thanks to his endless tax grabs, expensive energy experi-ments that drive up hydro bills, and the fraud, waste, and secret deals that have attacked the family budget. He no longer un-derstands the challenges families face, and has forgotten what a family
budget looks like.Instead of giving families
the relief they need, he continues to support a tax system that places a value judgment on families, based on how they choose to run their household. Under our current tax sys-tem, two families could be earning the same income, yet be taxed differently depending on how much each spouse is individu-ally contributing.
For example: a mom and a dad with taxable incomes of $35,000 each currently pay lower taxes than a mom and dad earn-ing $20,000 and $50,000 – even though both fami-lies are earning $70,000.
While the Tax Man would rather tell families
how to run their homes, and hit them with higher taxes simply because one spouse chooses to stay home with kids or an elderly parent, I believe we can do better for our families after eight years of working harder and getting less from Dalton McGuinty.
A Tim Hudak govern-ment will fix Dalton Mc-Guinty’s broken, unfair, judgmental tax system so that all families are treated equally. We will allow all couples to share up to $50,000 of his or her taxable income with the other spouse, in or-der to reduce the family’s overall tax burden. This means if you are a single income family making
$70,000 a year, you will save $1,400.
If you are a two-income family making $70,000, with one spouse working full time and the other working part time, you will save $400 a year.
That’s $400 to $1,400 dollars more for families to put back in the house-hold budget to spend on their own priorities again, instead of the Tax Man’s expensive energy experiments and endless tax hikes: priorities like a mortgage payment, re-pairs for the mini-van, or back-to-school supplies for the kids.
As a dad, I know what a difference this kind of tax relief can make for fami-lies, who understand that
it’s not just about mom’s budget or dad’s budget, but the family budget.
On October 6, families will have a clear choice: Dalton McGuinty or the NDP, who not only sup-port a tax system that judges families and how they run their homes, but will also hike taxes further on families and make it harder for them to get ahead. Or an On-tario PC government that will respect the family budget, respect the deci-sions families make that are right for them, and provide every family with $400 to $1,400 in income tax relief.
Over the coming weeks, our party will be speaking more about changebook
– our plan to put families first. I encourage you to check it out for yourself at www.changebook.ca
Ontario PC income-sharing plan will bring fairness to tax system

As a coach and parent of one of the many Pelham Minor Baseball Association (PMBA) ball players I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Town of Pelham for their excellent preparation of our ball diamonds this year. As many of you know our diamonds are not the red New Jersey clay you see on TV but stone dust instead. This mate-rial has many issues associated with it but the way the Town prepared the diamonds minimized the larg-est issue—hard crusted surfacing. When the surface is hard, like after a rain, it will tear up a sliding run-ner’s legs; give teeth chipping hops to balls; and cause ankle twisting ruts. This was not the case this year.
When playing a scheduled game this year, the players were treated to a fluffy top dressing that encour-aged sliding. Again thank you for a job well done.
There are always improvements that can be made and notwithstand-ing ongoing fence and backstop repairs, I would like to open a dis-cussion about the construction of a Batting Cage at the North Pelham facility. The power system is already available and with a properly word-ed appeal and support from the Town of Pelham (in concert with the PMBA) many of the materials or sub contract work as applicable could be supplied at cost from generous families of ballplayers or
sponsoring business from Pelham. This is not a high dollar investment but rather a simple cage with provi-sion for both a pitching screen and a pitching machine. To improve individual skills, make our teams more competitive and to provide an alternative to costly private facility time this is something the baseball playing children of Pelham need.
Once again thank you to the Town of Pelham and the PMBA organization, volunteers, sponsors and families who have made the 2011 season a success.

The last edition of the Voice ran a full-page ad-vertisement for Tim Hu-dak, leader of the Ontario Conservatives, who is campaigning to become Premier. His platform included “relief on home energy bills”, “lowering the tax burden”, and “in-vesting in health care and education”. I hope his
next advertisement will include the dollar cost of these changes, and how he intends to tackle On-tario’s budget deficit as he reduces government revenue, and increases government expenditure.

Thank you!A “Berry” Big Thank You.
The Short Hills Fire and Rescue Association (Pelham Station 3) would like to thank all who participated in making our 9th Annual Strawberry Festival a success. We would especially like to thank Murray and Ann Bering of White Meadows Farms for continuing to be the hosts for the event. Their involvement is more than appreciated.
The weather was perfect and despite some initial early concern about the availability of berries due to a less than ideal spring growing season, there were plenty of berries on hand for all to enjoy.
New this year was the Children’s Strongman Hammer Striker where kids had a chance to show off their prowess and ring the bell in a show of ability and strength. This, along with other existing attractions such as our Firehouse and Bouncy Castle, among other things, kept the kids busy while adults were able to take in the shows by Bishop’s 4B Ranch Rodeo and our Local Fiddlers.
An event such as this could not happen without a tremendous amount of community in-volvement and support. A very big thank you goes out to all of the firefighters, their spouses, kids, neighbours, relatives, friends etc., who helped out to make it a great evening.
Local and regional businesses kindly donated lots of excellent prizes for our penny table and door prizes. It is impossible to list the names of all who donated and helped out but please know that everyone’s efforts were very much appreciated.

For local writer, Sandra van den Bogerd, love isn’t complete without a whole lot of suspense. The author, who writes under the name Sandra Orchard, recently penned the novel Deep Cover, a Harlequin Love Inspired Suspense.This is the first book in her three-book Undercover Cops series, and an apt description of Sandra’s writing life.
“Although I’d openly dabbled in writing articles for years, I began writ-ing fiction in secret,” the Pelham resident admits, when asked about her writing journey. “I’d read enough how-to books to know that breaking into publishing took a long time, and that most non-writers wouldn’t under-stand.”
Surprisingly, for most of her adult life, Sandra
didn’t imagine herself to be a storyteller. Then after her mother’s death, she discovered Christian ro-mance. Seeing characters working through many of the same struggles she faced spoke to her in countless ways. She soon gravitated to romantic sus-pense, enjoying the added elements of mystery and danger. After forfeiting the last of her shelf-space to the novels, Sandra’s husband remarked that she should write them in-stead. Little did he know how the seed he planted would blossom.
Alone in the office where she’d directed her chil-dren’s home-education, Sandra secretly ventured into the world of fiction.
“My family soon found me out, but I didn’t tell any of my local friends and extended family for
years,” she says.She did, however, con-
nect with a growing online community of writers, sev-eral local aspiring writers, and attended numerous writing conferences.
Her secret finally got out when she won the Daph-ne du Maurier Award for best unpublished novel—a prestigious award presented by the mystery/suspense chapter of the Romance Writers of America organization.
In Sandra’s first book, Deep Cover, undercover cop Rick Gray fights to maintain his cover and still win the trust of the woman he loves—a wom-an who values honesty above all else.
“I read a newspaper ar-ticle about an undercover sting and was surprised by how many ‘illegal’ things the cops involved had to
do, let alone the duplicity required,” says Sandra.
She decided to explore how a believer in that situ-ation would reconcile the requirements of the job with those of his faith, and what the emotional strain of his duplicity would be on his personal life.
Since the release of Deep Cover to Harlequin book clubs, Sandra hasn’t been doing as good a job as Rick Gray when it comes to maintaining her undercover status. Blogs and magazines are talking her up and awarding the novel four and five star re-views. The book officially
releases on September 6th and will be available wherever the Harlequin imprint is sold. Accord-ing to the company’s mission statement, “The Love Inspired fiction pro-gram features wholesome Christian romance that will help women to better guide themselves, their families and their commu-nities toward purposeful, faith-driven lives.”
Deep Cover’s sequel, Shades of Truth, releases in March 2012 with the third book due out later that year. All of the stories take place in the fictional Niagara town of Miller’s
Bay. Although Sandra writes
under a pseudonym, this is merely for simplicity since her surname, which means “of the Orchard”, is too hard to autograph, let alone Google.
The undercover writer will be coming into the open this September for book signings on Friday, September 9th at the Fair-view Mall Chapters, 285 Geneva St, St. Catharines, from 6 to 9pm, followed by a signing at the Believ-er’s Bookshelf September 17th, located at 5205 King St, Beamsville, from 10 am to noon.

THE VOICE of Pelham Wednesday, September 7, 2011 Page 7
It was more than 60 years ago, but the recollection still brings a smile to Jim Casson Sr.’s face.
The year was 1950 and the then 11-year-old Cas-son along with his buddy Robin Barron decided to delve into the Fourth Es-tate, publishing the Font-hill Bugle—Pelham’s first weekly newspaper.
From an initial invest-ment of $5.47, loaned to the boys by Barron’s mother, the Bugle turned into an entrepreneurial windfall for the young-sters.
Circulation increased each week, ultimately reaching nearly 300 at one point with each copy sell-ing for three cents. The friends also sold advertis-ing to local merchants as well as covering the news of village and sometimes coverage of their own ad-ventures.
News of the successful enterprise spread, eventu-ally leading to an article in the Globe and Mail with a picture of Casson and Barron sitting at Barron’s dining room table taken by local photographer Pe-ter Tenszen.
The spotlight on the young journalists was about to get even bright-er.
“I remember that there was an announcement at Fonthill Public School
that there was going to be a discussion about us on the Kate Aitken show,” says Casson.
Aitken hosted a popu-lar show on CBC radio and was a prolific author with nearly 50 books on subjects from cooking to etiquette. She is referred today as an early Martha Stewart.
She penned an article on Casson and Barron which carried the head-line Midget Newspaper Pays and ran nationwide. Aitken also ran the Wom-
en’s press luncheon at the CNE and when one of her guests couldn’t make it she had an idea.
“She got on the phone to us and said get to Toronto right away,” says Casson. “So my father piled us in the car and we got a mo-torcycle escort right into the place. Pretty heady stuff for an 11-year-old.”
“We were interviewed at the press luncheon and on her (Aitken’s) radio show that night. Which led the Toronto Star to check their records and
they found out that I had been a Toronto Star car-rier.”
A subsequent article and picture appeared in the Star.
Casson recalls the whole thing just started on a whim.
“We were just kids with an idea at the right time,” says Casson. “It had fluffy type of articles which people enjoyed.”
“If it left me with any-thing, it left me with the memory of dealing face to face with Kate Aitken who was an icon. We stayed at her house overnight because she had to ar-range this whole thing so quickly. We were exposed to her whole office, I think she had 12 secretaries. She had had a tremendous history in journalism and even interviewed Musso-lini once.”
The paper lasted for about 18 months with the final copy hitting the street before the boys be-gan high school. Casson
hasn’t seen Barron for 50 years or so and doubts any copies of the Bugle still exist.
But the venture taught him how to multi-task, how to look after custom-ers and he even made
some money, which Cas-son told the members of the press luncheon he put in the bank.
All traits that served him well during his career as a chartered accountant.
