Alyssa Toffolo, 19, took advantage of the free skate time by taking her student Jack Cunningham, 4, for a lesson. Cunningham said he loves his teacher and skating. With a big grin on his face he said he gets to do “fun stuff." Toffolo said she has been involved with hockey and skating her whole life and enjoys teaching Cunningham. 34 TIMMSDALE, WELLAND $799,000 pinesom.com SALES REPRESENTATIVE ^^TlePAGE | ]OQ Niagara Real Estate Center, Brokerage Office: 905-892-0222 • Sell: 905-321-2261 • [email protected] 2 ■ PELHAM NEWS ■ THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 2016 □ AUTHOR: New children's book tackles bullying Talking to kids about bullies through rhymes THURSDAY, JANUARY 7,2016 ■ PELHAM NEWS ■ WILDLIFE: Numerous cases in U.S. but none so far in Niagara saveoNenergy saveoNenergy Rabies battle taking place on ground and in air FOR HOME FOR BUSINESS he doesn't expect to find raccoons with rabies in Niagara, though the humane Let’s talk about Together we can help Npttihim(2aodhnshwn0iuaftife ie TTAaaar0n““dlhnf ylWgFne s hdahskiiifm pra cns hrer,eeieoeeo rtrhelrgo aehf nrafoeeMmfa fn y td esltlam ooa i yaiw'mdl o dsisurnttdis en aoethr catidtoe rmttn rit eol srooMl bafsiheHsel enp a ttlpaai s c hrlrlrtgoatanistp iyoiiaertetm.kp,enea,hle "bn r soeeasddg i dieti.a s trlfiaae tevo ttsna ai2sNiyso,rafsenki td1 na lndovaoaa idi5 t.nnisffn afpht o,lCiteu gd0cwelsxeena rc0ihs pr ewaino)ea in0rldlt nn lu diaihe roa- vsneatRdcl wrtodb iasc e eD ftaenrrbc ic eheteoins ,acolol n- eaogaprovtiqo kenhwpnu wiaanubse.eerkrr iesaae sec rl ee.bms,eircave a ttttavrrtsiseiee ahnnibce rrnatifl¬hgeynsss,ttt htbsTofsulbtchhhoooeiveepaohteerocuTTTHyr“ed euva si sIbvg'r ahw hseriattMna etaac hf oehtweiahmod tyined t ioNe ntab e d son,ibi.criioli ns eRyn voulaem ru“andtga aearnlqgW o l’ib, tda.tatlnsu tsddh n e rafil T me. tsvsazi doe cw nas rhu.Tarhia ” whksoadigabraarh nretseinp rni sestnawne stllehr rtti a ticbgt rfisddiaedeesonnskfae aocairyinesewteilct incgt onitu dhitdaotmg nosynhogefaa n. etb oe htudvc eHwhtHdin erhna etov ie tat ha aifada naeh d wnni mawnd m un nreobi stceaaent e in apeithwedalbsp lhfeHeoftsar titioaohe anl.oserdnaa yrnyutlear ni mretrg r zDn ratmoe ddaa ruenwsidaueeocn ldnetee tcadnco oeio.iw nnetm aygond n jtmidtnieh oohne. itoa,i ¬¬nddhbnge”sl. aEnnde rCgoyn EseffrivcSaietADinocVOny.
