Standing out for safety – School Safety Patrollers, Kyle, age 12 and Tannis, age 12, show off their safety vests with Nottawasaga OPP Officer
Kelly Daniels at Tottenham Public School (TPS) last week. In total, 8 foot patrollers have been trained at TPS by Constable Daniels, following the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) Foot and Bus Patrol Program since the new safety program, which does not allow motorists to enter the school
parking lot between 8:30 – 9 a.m. and 3:15 – 3:45 p.m., began on November 4th.
Tottenham Public School making it safer for students
By Wendy Soloduik
For the safety of its students, Tottenham Public School (TPS) has
closed its parking lot to motorists
before and after school.
TPS Principal, Susan Nixon –
new to the school as of fall, 2013
– spent the first few weeks of
school observing the behaviours of
parents, guardians and babysitters
as they dropped students off at her
school. Her fears, confirmed by the
observations of Vice Principal Valerie Smith (also new as of 2013),
could not be ignored.
“It was an accident waiting to
happen,” Smith told the Times.
Which Cheryl Cokes, School
Council Chairperson, agreed with.
The set up of the school, which
has two entrances that are not connected, means that parents were
pulling into the school parking lot,
swinging their doors open onto a
busy sidewalk to allow their child
to exit the vehicle, and then turning
around in a round-a-bout to exit.
This created four lanes of motoring traffic – the cars belonging to
teachers and school staff parked
for the day, the incoming, the outgoing, and the kiss-and-parkers
letting their kids out. Weaving
through these four lanes of traffic
were the children who walked to
school – entering from two pathways at the north and south end of
the property respectively.
In addition to this, parents would
park their cars in the round-a-bout
on both sides (creating another
three lanes of traffic there) so that
they could exit their vehicle and
hang off the chain link fence surrounding the kindergarten area, to
drink coffee, socialize with other
parents and watch their children
play.

In addition to closing off the
entrance (using pylons) Tottenham Public School has made other
changes for the safety of students:
the area next to the interior sidewalk has been designated as a no
parking/stopping zone.
This prevents motorists, who
drop their children, or daycare kids
(as there is also a YMCA Day Care
on site), from pulling up to the curb
and potentially hitting pedestrians
with their car doors.

WWII Veteran tells his interesting story to Historical Society
Photo by Emily Wood
Always the entertainer – WWII Navy Veteran Jack Tiernay has had a love of music
since he was young, and spent his days during the Navy performing with a piano-accordion at
parties. Afterwards, he and his children formed the Tiernay Orchestra and continued performing. Above, Tiernay displays a photograph of himself while he was serving in the Navy.
By Emily Wood
Jack Tiernay has been a
performer for most of his
life. First, with his love of
music he taught himself to
play any instrument he could
find, and then with his unmatched skill with a Yo-Yo.
That’s right, a Yo-Yo.
Tiernay was so fascinated
with the toy that he spent his
last quarter on one as a boy.
He practiced constantly, and
went on to win the Canadian
championship in Sudbury,
Ontario. At age 15 he received a sponsorship from
the Yo-Yo company to travel
to England alone, where he
spent six months performing
in theatres every Saturday.
The London Times newspaper featured Jack’s trick of
the day, some that Tiernay
had invented himself.
The most notable part of
the trip was that Tiernay performed his Yo-Yo expertise
for the royal family at Windsor Castle. At the time, the
current Queen Elizabeth the
Second was still a princess.
In 1963, after returning
from the war and settling in
Alliston, Tiernay appeared
as a mystery guest on CBC’s
“Flashback” program for
his history with the Yo-Yo.
Tiernay was recently sent a
DVD copy of the taping and
brought it with him to the
Alliston Historical Society
meeting where he was invited to be a guest speaker.
On the show, he performed
common tricks like “sleeping” the Yo-Yo and “walking the dog” along with
more complicated tricks like
“around the world”, “the ferris wheel”, “rock the baby”
and one of his own invention, “man on the flying trapeze”.
“It was quite an experience,” he said of being on
the show.
Tiernay was born in Clinton, Ontario but soon after
moved with his family to
North Bay, where he grew
up. With eight siblings, he
describes his life as colourful to say the least. “I wanted to get in the service, but with the railway
so short of help I wasn’t allowed to join,” Tiernay said.
But in 1942, the situation
changed and he was allowed
to join the military. It was
Tiernay who chose to join
the Navy. He says now that
he can’t imagine why he decided to do so after being so
seasick on his trip to England at 15.
Sure enough, Tiernay says
he was sick as a dog for an
entire week when he first
boarded the HCM Dunver as
a Navy Officer.
“I thought I’d die!” he
joked.
When he finally found his
sea legs, his background as
a telegraph operator for the
railway turned out to be
the right experience for his
job listening in on German
broadcasts from submarines.
Two of his brothers also
served in WWII, joining the
Navy based on his own high
recommendation of it.
“Fortunately we all came
home without injury,” he
said, adding that it wasn’t
until later in his life that he
realized how hard it must
have been for his parents to
see them off for duty.
It was December 7, 1942
when he first boarded the
HCM Dunver in Newfoundland, the ship covered in
a layer of ice. Vegetables
were piled around the smoke
stacks to keep them from
freezing. Tiernay’s musical
talent followed him through
the war and he was often
invited to the captain’s quarters and at parties. His brothers were also musical, his
older brother playing the piano as well and his younger
brother a drummer. Tiernay
drew great pleasure from entertaining, and even started
the Tiernay Orchestra with
his own nine children later
on in life.
He now says he sea legs
are permanent, and when
he steps onto a boat the sea
sickness doesn’t bother him
apart from a slight headache. He has been on several
cruises since his time in the
Navy, and continues to perform whenever the opportunity presents itself. Tiernay
often sings old Navy songs
adding beats and instrument
effects on his keyboard, but
he also sings some songs
that he’s written himself.
He still has the voice of a
crooner, the melodies alone
evoking images of war time
dance halls in a world so different from today. His talent
and colourful life are certainly obvious to those who
hear the story of his life from
such a modest man.
OPP train new school safety patrollers at Tottenham Public School
Continued from FRONT
The second change was
the implementation of a
kiss-and -drive section along
Rogers Road, on the side
closest to the school. Motorists can now pull up to
the curb, in this designation
“no parking zone” open their
doors safely (due to a wider
road allowance) and let their
kids out on the sidewalk.
The third change is the use
of foot patrollers, or school
safety patrollers. Wearing reflective vests, Grade 7 and 8
students stand at the corner
of each entrance, one on either side and ensure students
are entering the parking lot
safely. A safe entry for students includes not running,
crossing the entrance way
only after looking both ways
and escorting younger students from the Kiss and Ride
to the kindergarten yard gate.
These students have been
specially trained by Nottawasaga OPP Constable Kelly Daniels. Officer Daniels
successfully completed the
Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) Foot and Bus
Patrol Program and passed
down her skill set in a half
day course at the school.
Concerns from the public,
seeing these students wearing safety vests, have arisen
since the implementation
of the new program. The
speculation is that students
were being used as “human
barricades”. This claim has
been debunked through our
investigation.
“A School Safety Patroller
has one job and their job is
to prevent pedestrian-related
accidents around the school
by encouraging students to
cross roads and board school
bus vehicles in a safe and
responsible way,” Officer
Daniels said. “The laws in
Ontario only allow certain
people to stop traffic, such as
police and crossing guards
(adult) and school safety patrollers are not one of these
people.”
Administration removes
the pylons to allow the one
bus per day to come in and
out, and vehicles bearing an
accessibility sticker.
The new safety program at
TPS has been approved by
the Simcoe County District
School Board and its Safety
Consortium, as well at the
OPP.
Other schools in the board
have moved to a similar
pick-up/drop-off model, including Ernest Cumberland
– where last year an unfortunate incident occurred where
a student was hit by a moving vehicle after school – in
Alliston.
This very issue came before council Monday night,
during the Committee of
the Whole Meeting. Ward
2 Councillor, Jamie Smith,
inquired about the program
and asked for a report back
from staff, outlining the history of the site plan agreement and the safety impact
on students using both models.
Smith also questioned the
tickets that had been given
out to parents who refused to
move their vehicle (despite
repeated requests from th
eon-site bylaw enforcement
officer, said Town Clerk
Cheryl McCarroll) who insisted on watching their
child enter into the school
building before pulling
away. Smith’s request were
in specific relation to the issue at Ernest Cumberland,
but Mayor Mike MacEachern, who had been made
aware of the issue at Tottenham Public School through
this office, agreed that a report back from staff would
be helpful to determine next
steps overall.
For now, school foot patrollers at Tottenham Public School will continue to
enjoy their hot chocolate
Whether we want to acknowledge it or not, there are many people in need
within our community. These people may be single parents, parents with
special needs children, singles, seniors or large families. The holidays should be a time of joy,
but for many it can be a time of hardship and a reminder that money is tight and times are hard.
Nobody deserves to be down at Christmas. This year, your community newspaper is starting
a new holiday tradition. We call it, “The Giving Back Project”.
Here’s what we’re proposing: there are people living in abundance, and people who need a little
help to get through the holidays. We want to match these people anonymously. Each week, we
will list the families who have come forward for help – no names, just family statistics, including
the number of children (if any), their ages and the number of adults in the household. Community
members, looking to sponsor a family, can then select the family they’d like to sponsor and we will
“match” them. Once matched, the family will be removed from the list of available families.
Although there is no guarantee of getting a match, we hope that community members in need of
help will come forward and ask for the assistance they need. Likewise, we hope that those living in
abundance will select a family to help – in recognition of the true meaning of the holiday season.
All gifts will be dropped off, labelled for their intended recipient, at our office (either Beeton or
Shelburne) before December 19th. Once here, the receiving family will be notified and they can
come and collect their presents at a separate time.
If there is an issue collecting the gifts, due to a lack of transportation or shyness,
they will be delivered to you.
Local businesses who wish to add to the gifts available can also donate gift cards or items,
for a specific family or just in general. 100 per cent of all items collected will make it
into the hands of those in need.
Interested families can submit their request to be matched by mail at:

This Christmas, it’s my
turn to give back – even if
I’m only coordinating the
effort.
Through the three papers
that I edit – The Times of
New Tecumseth & Adjala–Tosorontio, The Innisfil Scope and the Shelburne Free Press – we have
launched “The Giving Back
Project”.
The goal of the project is
to match local families (or
individuals) in need, with
families (or individuals) living in abundance.
Not that long ago, I was the
person at the receiving end. I
used the food bank and I also
accepted Christmas presents
from local people who knew
I would struggle to give my
son a proper Christmas. I
knew one day that it would
be my turn to “give back”
thus, the name of our new
initiative.
I remember feeling guilty
about accepting “char-
All I want for Christmas...
ity” from other people at
the time, but my son didn’t
know the difference – Santa
had arrived on Christmas
morning, and I was glad I
could still pay my rent.
So far, we have had three
people step up and offer to
sponsor a family, and only
one person “nominate” a
friend as a recipient. I’m
glad that if no one else steps
forward that we helped even
one family this holiday
season. They have no idea
we’re coming on Christmas
Eve, my son and myself, to
make their Christmas exciting. The worst thing that
could happen is they feel depressed about being a “charity case”. That would be
bad, and defeat the purpose
of this project. I hope that
doesn’t happen, and I hope
all of our recipients can see
that their chance to “pay it
forward” will one day come.
On the lighter side, I was
sharing a tale from Christmas past with my co-workers the other day. I think
you’ll find it amusing...
When I was about 7 years
old, all I wanted for Christmas was one of those hairdressing heads on a platform. The platform itself had
various receptacles to store
clips, elastics and other dodads to hold your hairstyling
masterpiece in place. The
doll head had thick blonde
hair that was all one length.
You could comb it, braid it,
Ask a
psychotherapist
Question: I’m the mother of a teenage girl (just turned
16) who up to a while ago has been a great kid – good student, cooperative, friendly. About a year ago, her marks
suddenly started to drop and she stopped hanging out with
her usual friends. She got very withdrawn, even from us
and her sisters and started spending all her time alone in
her room. She’s lost a lot of weight and she refuses to
come to the dinner table with the rest of us. She won’t
talk to anyone in the family about what’s going on and
I’m getting pretty worried. What should I do?
Answer: The teen years are a time of much growth and
change and sometimes of turmoil for kids of both genders. It’s natural to begin to want more privacy from parents and siblings in the later teen years but I think that you
are right to be concerned that your daughter’s degree of
withdrawal may signal the presence of deeper, potentially
serious issues.
A change of friendship group is an important indicator that something significant is happening in your child’s
life. She may be the victim of bullying at school or online and be too ashamed of the situation to want to share
it with her family.
Weight loss and a change in appetite can be a sign of
depression and/or an eating disorder. Your teen could be
depressed for any number of reasons (bullying, boyfriend
issues, drug use, unresolved family conflicts, to name a
few). With the relentless pressure from media these days
to present a particular body type (slim, sexualized, etc.),
she may be experiencing dissatisfaction with her body
image and secretly dieting in order to change it.
In any case, it’s necessary to get a dialogue going with
your daughter quickly somehow so that you can find out
what’s going on. Sometimes teens will open up more
readily to a therapist than to family.

put it in a ponytail, cut it –
whatever you wanted to do
with it.
I needed this toy. I had to
have it.
My parents got the message too – perhaps it was the
endless whining and crying,
or the pictures cut out of the
Sears Wish Book and the local flyers (posted in obvious
places, like the fridge and
their bathroom mirror).
Sure enough, on Christmas morning my doll head
was under the tree. Wrapped
in shiny paper with a bow
and everything. The problem
was, it had my sister’s name
on it. You see, it appears that
“Santa’s little helpers” had
a few cocktails while wrapping gifts the night before
and forgot to label as they
went.
My sister, who never wanted or asked for the doll head
with hair from the heavens
refused to give it to me, even
though my parents explained
that Santa had made a mistake.
All day, she brushed the
dolls hair and changed
its look, running to show
my parents with each new
achievement. I spent Christmas devastated. The world
would never be the same.
The next year, I asked for
an Easy Bake Oven. My
mom told me it was too
messy and the cake mixes
– which mysteriously baked
using only the heat from a
low-watt light bulb – were
too expensive. I never got
that either.
Now, even as an adult, I
will stop in toy stores and
look at the doll head – which
they still sell by the skid load
– and at the beginner oven,
with lust.
Of course I’m over it (I
think) but it’s funny how the
moments of Christmas past
always stick with you.
Now, Christmas for me
is watching the faces of my
children as they tear open
paper and screech with
delight at what Santa has
brought for them – properly
labelled, of course.
It’s about the twinkling
tree, the smell of baking in
the oven and the look of satisfaction on the faces of my
loved ones, after eating a
turkey dinner.
As of this year, Christmas
will also mean giving back
to those I care about in my
extended family – the community that has always supported me.
The Giving Back Project
is as exciting to me now, as
that ridiculous doll head was
when I was 7. It’s the same
feeling. Pure joy.
If you know of someone
who needs a little help this
holiday season, please let
me know. Call me any time
at 905-729-2287 ext. 109 or
e-mail me at: wendy@simcoeyorkprinting.com.
I’d be glad to put the connection together for you,
and make Christmas a little
brighter for the people you
care about. Without participants, this is only a good
idea.
Word on the Street
We Asked: “Do you think the three senators
recently suspended for claiming improper housing
and travel expenses should retain their benefits?”
“I don’t think they should be treated any differently from anyone else. They should be
treated as if a regular person was fired from
any other job for doing something wrong.”
– Brittany Pinder
“From what I know, I think absolutely not. They
shouldn’t get to keep their benefits. The biggest thing that gets me is the lying that gets me
the lying. Why would they? They lied.”
– Kelly Hoskin
“I think in regular government situations
when you’re on leave you get to keep your
benefits. But I think considering it’s about
money, they should be completely cut off.”
– Alexandra Ohayon
“I don’t really know much about it, but I think if
they did something wrong they shouldn’t get
any kind of reward.”
– Karly Uhl
Seriously! The editor’s
note – my letter titled:
‘The Rob Ford Era’
Dear editor:
Seriously? Rob Ford has saved the taxpayer millions
of dollars! I think we’re dealing with smoke and mirrors
when looking at Toronto’s finances.
Not seriously! Sometimes I write tongue-in-cheek and
my comment on the police chiefs was one. However, next
time I’ll draw a smiley face after similar comments or
opinions.
As to moral value – we’re plagued with men and women within our elected system, and that includes federal,
provincial, county and municipal, who do not have moral
vales. This is indicated by the Quebec inquiry into paybacks in the awarding of construction contracts. As I’ve
said countless times, “honesty indicates high moral vales”.
Have we had continuous honesty at Toronto City Hall?
I know some people continue to believe that the Ford
Nation is in full bloom – I don’t.
Listening to the radio, reading the newspapers and
watching the TV indicate to intelligent people that the Rob
Ford era hasn’t been Canada’s finest hour!
The saddest aspect of the fiasco in Toronto is the fact it
may continue for just under another year. It could go on
for another four years if the electorate doesn’t look for
high moral standards. Studying carefully every candidate
is a must!

Thanks for ‘Shooting
with the Stars’
Dear editor:
The players and parents of the Clearview Ice Cats Midget #2 House League team would like to take this opportunity to say Thank You to everyone who helped with our
recent BBQ and Shooting with the Stars Challenge.
We have very supportive parents and enthusiastic girls
who made this BBQ fun. But most of all, we would like
to graciously thank the community for attending the BBQ,
participating in the shot out and donating their bottles.
The winner of the Novice Shooting with the Stars Challenge was Owen Muir, of the Beeton Stingers.
The winner of the Peewee Shooting with the Stars Challenge was Colin Jones of the Beeton Stingers.
The Bantam and Midgets were won by our Clearview
Ice Cats who donated back to the team showing their team
spirit, “All for One and One for All”.
The Beat the Owner Challenge proved to be a very difficult challenge as there were only 5 people out of the many
participates who were able to beat Ken Pratt. The winner
of the Beat the Owner Challenge was Jason Baird. However, the biggest winner was our girls hockey team and
they greatly appreciate your support.
A very special thank you to Ken Pratt of Foodland for
taking hours out of his busy day to participate in the Beat
the Owner Challenge by supporting the Ice Cats who we
could not have done this without the support of Ken Pratt.
As well as a special thank you to the guys at Foodland,
Richard and Aaron who helped make our BBQ and bottle
drive a success.

Change how you run All–Candidates meetings
Dear editor:
Once upon a time, almost
a quarter of a century ago,
there was a pretty little municipality organized as a
village called Tottenham.
It was run by a council that
consisted of a reeve, a deputy reeve and three councillors, all elected at large.
Residents could walk to the
council chambers, speak to
their council, pay their bills
and you knew the works
guys, because most of them
lived in the village.
Flash forward to the present and we are now a suburb of the Town of Alliston. Most Alliston residents
can still walk to the council chambers but we must
drive, about 18km, to watch
a council meeting. Progress
they say.
Alliston, with seven of the
10 members living in or having a significant connection
to Alliston, still has control
of its destiny. We have lost
control of ours. We must
ask, what is in many ways
the competition, for what
we need. Be it an addition to
our arena or tax changes that
will facilitate the growth of
the commercial base.
The province called it an
amalgamation, the reality is
that it was a takeover. What
is the point to this letter? It
is that in just less than a year
we are going to have municipal elections. We will get to
vote for a mayor, a deputy
mayor and one of the eight
councillors.
The mayor and the deputy
will likely come from Alliston, for it has the largest
population base. When it is
time for the vote, the contestants will likely come down,
spend a few hours telling us
that they will be there for
us. But what about the others councillors, will they be
there for us or will Alliston
be their priority, as that is
who they represent. I believe
they should come to Tottenham for an all candidates
meeting too.
Why you say, because our
destiny is in their hands. I
am writing this letter today
to ask you to rethink the
concept of an all candidates
meeting you held at the last
contest. I urge you to run
several meetings, so that
there is discussion of how
they, who have little connection to Tottenham, see Tottenham’s future. So that we
can see those who will rule
us, ask them questions, see
them in action, get to know
them. And please, not the set
up a table and try to attract
attention thingie from the
last time. Let’s have questions from the audience, real
debate over several meetings, over a few week campaign.
Those Alliston councillors, in my opinion, owe it to
us. They now run our community and therefore control
our destiny. I don’t think that
it is to much to ask of them
to discuss our future here in
Tottenham.

Hornets slip to third place in GMOHL after loss to Penetang
By Brian Lockhart
The Georgian Mid Ontario
League has produced a tight
race for the top this season
than it has over the past several years.
Three teams have traded
first place so far and after
the weekend the Penetang
Kings are in first place with
35 points followed by the
Schomberg Cougars who
have 33 points.
The Alliston Hornets
slipped down to third after
a loss to Penetang on Friday
(Nov. 15).
With 14 wins after 18
games, the Alliston team has
29 points for the season.
The Hornets schedule
didn’t include a home game
this past weekend, instead
they travelled up to Penetang to take on the Kings.
The game was tied at one
at the end of the first period
with both goals coming on
powerplay opportunities.
Hornets goal was scored
by Jacob Tuck.
There was no scoring in
the second period and the

The Everett Ratepayers Association (ERA) is continuing their battle with AdjalaTosorontio council for the
residents of Everett to have
some say in the housing development planned for the
area.
So far they have tried many
ways to have a say in the
decision, but feel their fears
have gone unheard by the
Town. With the development
now approved, the ERA want
their concerns to be heard for
residents to have some say in
how the development goes
up.
Concerned about the potential development, some
residents banded together to
form PURE (People United
for Rural Everett). But they
were unable to officially on
behalf of Everett residents,
so they disbanded in August
and formed the ERA.
“Our main goal is still the
expansion of Everett and the
fact that it’s not going the
way we’d like it to,” says
Chantale Gagnon, a director
of ERA.
One of the primary concerns about is the significant
and uncontrollable changes
the housing development
will bring to the community
of Everett. Directors of the
ERA say many residents, including themselves, moved
to the area to get away from
developing areas.
Everett’s current population is under 2000 people,
but the development would
increase the population to a
minimum of 10,500 people.
The ERA says this significant
population increase would
cause a myriad of problems,
most notably eliminating the
small town, agricultural feel
of the community, which is
what attracted many current
residents.
The additional houses will
also create an increase in
traffic on the roads, many of
which are narrow country
roads that aren’t in the best
condition as it is. Noise levels will increase as well, and
the added traffic is a concern
for children in the area. Right
now, the residential streets
are safe enough for kids to
play on, but if commuters

worries that there are no
guarantees for that.
“The concern we have too
is that they pushed the OPA15 through unanimously, and
there are a number of things
that are not finalized such as
who is going to pay for the
sewage lines that are going
into the infrastructure,” says
David Perryman, another director of the ERA. “They’ve
said the developers will, but
there have been no guarantees, nothing given to us to
indicate that that in fact will
happen.”

Celebrating a special lady – Thanks to Ms Anne Marie Creswell of Tim Hortons [west end store] from the Meals
on Wheels, Alliston Branch for holding a very special presentation to a very important lady, Mrs. Lois Swenson. Lois along
with her friends Norma Smokum and Phyllis Darling set about
providing hot meals, delivered to the homes of unfortunate
shut-ins in the Town of Alliston, some 42 years ago, in 1971.
Both branches of the Alliston Meals on Wheels as well as the
Town were privileged and delighted to honour this lady, the
last surviving member of the original Meals on Wheels Alliston
group, for her tireless devotion in helping the less fortunate
and establishing a very necessary service to both the shut-ins
and single seniors, and for championing their independence
through delivering a hot meal and some conversation. Other

Simcoe County is heading
towards purchasing a 20%
interest in the Lake Simcoe
Regional Airport at a cost of
$1,300,000.
Simcoe County councillors gave their provisional
approval to purchasing the
interest from the City of Barrie at last Tuesday’s county
council budget meeting.
Barrie currently owns
80% of the airport while the
township of Oro-Medonte
owns the 20% of the airport.
Barrie mayor Jeff Lehman
told council that he saw the
purchase as a “big step forward for Barrie and Simcoe
County. Its important to recognize the opportunity to
work together. And its also
about economic benefit too.”
Lehman said that the
$1,300,000 cost was a very
fair valuation.
“We have just completed a
$16,0000,000 upgrade project at the airport. And this
does not include the value of
any buildings and land,” he
said.
The airport was projected
to run a deficit of around
$725,000 next year which
Simcoe county would be
responsible for 20% but the
airport has been exceeding revenue projections by
a wide margin this year and
the deficit may be much less.
County council will have
another opportunity to discuss the purchase before voting on adopting the budget
later this month.

Essa township has hired a

Cynthia Ross Tustin appointment was announced
at last week’s council meeting and she will become
the township’s Fire Chief
and Community Emergency
Management Coordinator
next Monday (November

About 20 people applied
for the position and council
and senior staff conducted
interviews with four applicants last month.
Ross Tustin, who is also a
registered nurse, has a long
career as a fire fighter which
dates back to the mid-1980’s
which includes stints in various positions at the Office
of the Fire Marshall for Ontario.
She has been Deputy Fire
Chief, Fire Prevention and
Training officer in Barrie
and served as Deputy Fire
Chief in Bradford West

Ross replaces the current

a transitional length of time

to be the big polluter of water.”
But Robert Yule, a director
of the ERA says a history of
damage to the Boyne River
and the Nottawasaga River
does not leave them confident that the last remaining
river in Everett will in fact be
protected.
As for residents moving in,
the services in the area are
insufficient to support them.
There are no plans in place to
build a recreation complex,
according to Mayor Walsh,
who says Everett residents
will continue to utilize New
Tecumseth recreation centres.
“Most of the residents that
move in here are quite satisfied with the services like
trails, and there will be a trail
system that goes up through
Everett, and the parks that
we have now,” said Mayor
Walsh. “That’s why we’re
able to keep our taxes down
and we don’t have a debt load
like some of the other ones.”
But it’s not the recreational
services that are the most in
need, says Gagnon. She is
concerned that new residents
might also be newcomers to
the country who will require
extensive services like ESL

Most of the anger from
residents comes from a lack
of answers from council.
Two public meetings were
held, but ERA directors say
tensions were high because
council wasn’t able to answer
questions about the plan for
the development, or address
their concerns.
“I think at the beginning
there was a few people who
attended the public meeting,
but as the word went around
the fury grew,” says Gagnon.
“And the people in the town
of Everett are really, really
angry. They’re angry because
they feel they’ve not been
heard.”
So far, the ERA says they
feel like there hasn’t been
sufficient effort by council
to keep residents informed
of the development plans or
progress. They want public
meetings to be held where
residents can get real answers
and provide suggestions and
feedback on plans for the development.
“We understand that there
is some growth that must occur in our township,” says
Gagnon. “But the type of
growth that they’re recommending is a growth that is
not meeting the needs and the
aspirations of its residents,
but rather the needs and the
aspirations of a mega international consortium with international investments and it’s
not local.”
Current residents want
to help shape the development to fit properly with the
existing community, rather
than having the development
shape the Everett community
way of life.

Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak, MPP of Simcoe-Grey
Jim Wilson and MPP of
Lambton-Kent-Middlesex
Monte McNaughton for a
tour of the facility last Tuesday. Hudak took the opportunity to discuss his plans to

Hudak says he is concerned with the state of
manufacturing in Ontario,
an important source of job
creation.
“Manufacturing has been
what helped define Ontario,
with affordable hydro, affordable taxes, talented
workers,” said Hudak. “We
were the manufacturing
heartland of North America.”
Statistics Canada shows
300,000 manufacturing jobs
in Ontario have been lost
since 2003, and Hudak says
16,000 were lost last month

have been raining down
higher costs of energy,
higher taxes, more and more
rules and regulations that
don’t make sense,” said
Hudak. “The PC party has
some sunshine to bring for
a change, a new policy that
will say manufacturing can
grow again in our province.”
That plan, detailed in the
PC Advanced Manufacturing White Paper, includes
updating labour laws to
give workers a choice when
it comes to joining a union
and paying union dues. The
document states “outdated
labour laws are a barrier to
productivity, innovation and
new jobs”.
According to the document, $275 billion are made
from annual manufacturing sales and almost half of
Canada’s manufacturing is
done in Ontario.
“Kathleen Wynne’s government and the Liberal
government over the last ten
years, they’ve taken manufacturing in this province for
granted and what we heard
today from management
here is that you can’t take us
for granted,” said Wilson.
Kevin Faubert of Honda
showed Hudak, Wilson and
McNaughton their Knuckle
Line, installed in May. The
line is operated by 9 robots
and 2 associates to assemble
the front suspension part for
their vehicles, building 1700
parts a day versus 1300 before the new system was in
place. The $3.7 million investment has resulted in big
cost savings.
Honda, Alliston, employs
4,200 people, producing
390,000 vehicles annually.

alone. MPP of Simcoe-Grey,
Jim Wilson says he has seen
nine major factory closures
in recent years, mainly due
to high energy prices.
“This is the South end
of my riding, and it’s been
stable,” Wilson said of the
Honda plant in Alliston.
“But with 300,000 manufacturing jobs lost, I would
hope we don’t lose jobs at
this plant and that we remain competitive.”
Monte McNaughton, MPP
of Lambton-Kent-Middlesex, says Ontario is in crisis
right now in the manufacturing sector.
“There are three things
that are putting Ontario behind,” said McNaughton.
“Number one is sky high
energy bills. Number two,
we’ve got a government being propped up by Andrea
Horwath and the NDP, committed to increasing spending and digging the hole
deeper in Ontario when it
comes to the debt crisis.

County of Simcoe paramedics kick–off Toy Drive
County of Simcoe Paramedic Services, in partnership with the Simcoe County Paramedic Association,

Drive on November 15.
The Toy Drive benefits
local children and families during the holiday
season. Donations of new,
unwrapped toys will be accepted at various locations
and parades across Simcoe
County until December 15,
2013.
“All children deserve
a happy holiday season,”
said Warden Cal Patterson.
“We’re proud of what our
Paramedic Services team
has accomplished over the
past 10 years and we thank
all our residents who donate
to this great cause.”
Since its inception in

and families in need by charitable organizations working
in partnership with Simcoe
County Paramedic Services.
Residents are asked for their
continued generosity and
support in helping those in
need in our region.
The 2012 Toy Drive was
extremely successful, collecting 7,475 toys, $9,169
in monetary donations,
and 2,044 pounds of food
for families across Simcoe
County.
County of Simcoe Paramedic Services hope to exceed last year’s totals. Donations can be made at the

8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and at
all Simcoe County Paramedic stations where outdoor

Winter is almost upon us
and the annual feeder watch
program has again begun.
Do you feed the birds in
your backyard already? You
can become a feeder watch
participant (citizen scientist). www.birdscanada.org
or 1-888-448-2473. There is
a small fee for becoming a
BSC member and with that
your feeder watching is free.
A great way to get your kids
involved in the outdoors
from inside the house where
it is nice, cozy & warm. You
will get a bird poster to help
you identify the birds and a
calendar to help you know
when to start and when to
finish. Feederwatch handbook and access to put your
data onto their website. The
information that you collect
and send to BSC helps scientists to study the winter
birds. Program goes from
November to April. They
cannot do it without us.
There is just too much work
out there in bird studies and
their habitats going on. So
much information is collected through bird banding
and through you and I counting birds at our feeders. You
never know what to expect.
And surprise visits can & do
happen. Getting the whole
family involved can be lots
of fun.
Bird Studies Canada is
partnered with Cornell Lab
of Ornithology, their U.S.
partner. But you must be a
BSC member to join up. This
will give you free participation in any of their other
volunteer programs as well,
for e.g Canadian Lakes Loon
Survey. Also an e-newsletter
by-weekly, and Bird Watch
Canada magazine four times
a year. If you know of a
friend or family member
who is interested in feeding the birds and you think
they would enjoy doing this
program. Then this would
be a great Christmas gift for
them. It takes 2 days a week.
You learn bird behavior. Is
it stormy, how do storms
affect their feeding habits
& behavior? What happens
if a predator bird is nearby,
for example a hawk, owl,
or falcon? How do they behave? Make sure they have
nearby natural shelter from
predators whether they are
natural or the neighbour’s
cats which are the #1 killer
of wild birds everywhere.
A proven fact. A brush pile
works well for shelter for
birds and for small animals
as well. You will be rewarded more than you can imagine.
So climb aboard and become a citizen scientist. Join
the team. Winter won’t seem
so bad after all.
County gives preliminary approval to two
per cent increase in 2014 levy
Richard Blanchard
Simcoe County gave its
provisional approval to its
2014 budget Tuesday which
will see an average two per
cent increase in the county
share of the municipal tax
bill.
County councillors spent
about three hours discussing the budget. It followed a
special budget meeting late
in October.
Total expenditures for the
county for 2014 will be approximately $403,000,000
which includes $80 million
for Ontario Works, $47 mil-
Essa council opposes
shortening hours at
Angus post office
Richard Blanchard
A proposal to shorten the
hours that the post office in
Angus is open to the public will be opposed by Essa
township.
Council agreed last week
to send a letter off to Canada
Post protesting the change of
hours at the post office to 9
p.m. to 5 p.m. rather than the
current 8:30 p.m to 5:15 p.m.
Angus area councillor
Keith White said that he had
already heard complaints
from residents that want to
keep the current hours.
“For a lot of people who
are commuters or work, the
hours at the beginning of the
day and in the later afternoon
are the only time to pick up
their mail,” said Mayor Terry
Dowdall.
In a letter to council, Canada Post area manager Roger Desnoyers said that the
change in Monday to Friday
hours was needed to keep the
post office competitive.
Similar changes have been
proposed for the Egbert post
office.
lion for Long Term Care,
$45 million for Solid Waste
Management, $47 million
for Social Housing, $41 million for Paramedic Services
and $32 million for Children
and Community Services.
After taking away revenues from various subsidies, municipal billings and
development charges, the
county’s levy will increase
by about $2.6 million to
$136.2 million.
The county’s number of
employees will increase to
1,296 from 1,251 which sees
some new hires, the hiring
of current contract employees as full time employees
and some additional contract
workers.
Overall, the county’s debt
will rise by about $6 million dollars this year to $168
million. The county’s debt is
expected to increase over the
next five years to just short
of $200 million and then
start to decline at a rapid
pace.
County warden Cal Patterson said after Tuesday’s
meeting that “the budget
was fiscally prudent with
taxpayers that we have accomplished a lot. We will be
able to maintain current services and provide some enhancements with a two per
cent overall tax increase.”
Overall, a two percent increase by the county will
mean that a residential property worth $300,000 will see
an increase of $18.33 in the
county portion of its tax bill,
about $6.11 per $100,000
value of assessment.
County council will give
its final approval to the budget on November 26.

When stars rate excellence, a five-star rating is
considered tops. Hence,
“Curtains”, the tremendously talent-filled musical now
playing at South Simcoe
Theatre, would no doubt rate
22-stars, for each actor has
given a stellar performance.
“Curtains” is a musical
within a musical, a murder
mystery three times over,
where the detective (Walter
Stewart) stars in some of the
best song and dance scenes
in the evening. Credit his
happy dance to Niki, one
of his many suspects and
captivating lady love (Patsi
Szabo). In fact, the entire
22 member cast falls under
suspicion as Stewart sweeps
through the area midst dance
steps that dynamically link

3rd Home Concert
in Tottenham
The third and final ‘Home Concert’ of the season is set
to take place on November 22nd in Tottenham.
Multiple Juno-winning artist Bill Bourne (www.billbourne.com) is hot on the path and will be coming in
from his home in Edmonton to do this tour. As well as being an eight-time Juno Award nominee, Bill has received
international acclaim for his recordings and live performances. A mainstay on the international roots scene, life
on the road is reflected in Bill’s music – powerful rhythms
and soulful songs, steeped in World Beat, Blues, Cajun,
Celtic, Folk, Flamenco, Funk, Poetry and more.
Bill Bourne was raised in a musical family in rural Alberta. When he was 2 years old, he was known to sleep
behind the piano at country dances. His parents played
dance music in community halls in beautiful farming
country. His mother played the guitar for many hours
while she was pregnant with Bill, resting the instrument
on his little body. The love of nature and of music and of
people gathering for celebration has been with him for his
whole life.
The concert takes place at 6 Rodcliff Road, Tottenham.

His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada,
honoured teachers, along with other outstanding Canadians, for furthering an interest in
and understanding of Canadian history and heritage, at the Governor General’s History
Awards ceremony, held at Rideau Hall, on Tuesday, November 19th.
The 18th Governor General’s History Awards honour exceptional achievements in five
areas: teaching, scholarly research, popular media, museums, and community programming. Winning a Governor General’s Awards for Aboriginal Arts and Stories was Robert
McCue, of Tottenham.
The Governor General’s History Awards were first established in 1996, by Canada’s
National History Society, to recognize excellence in teaching Canadian history. Since the
creation of the awards, over 100 teachers have been honoured at Rideau Hall and at the
Residence of the Governor General at the Citadelle of Quebec. In partnership with Canada’s leading national history organizations, including the Begbie Society, the Canadian
Historical Association, the Canadian Museums Association, and the Historica-Dominion
Institute, the Society has worked to expand the awards to recognize the many different
ways history is taught, communicated and celebrated by Canadians. The Governor General’s History Awards now provide an annual opportunity to bring together museums,
community organizations, writers, historians, students, teachers and media producers to
celebrate Canadian history and to learn from one another. For more information about
these awards, visit www.canadashistory.ca/Awards

Hung out to dry: the long fall of Helena Guergis
By Michael Harris
www.ipolitics.ca
It’s game on again between Beauty and the Beast
— the star-crossed Helena
Guergis and a prime minister grown so ruthless he is
beginning to frighten even
his own people.
The Conservative Party
of Canada is coming after
Guergis in the wake of a
court case she lost alleging a
conspiracy to have her fired,
leaving her owing $38,000
in costs. True, the money is
owed. But the legal boa constrictor is being applied with
remarkable vigor.
Guergis’s offer of $30 a
month has been rejected by
the CPC. Unless she comes
up with a satisfactory payment plan, the CPC will pay
for a financial inquisition
into the affairs of two Conservative politicians who
were once the glamour couple of the capital — Helena
Guergis and Rahim Jaffer.
In fact, the CPC has already taken a look at a lot
of possible ways to get the
money the court judgement
allotted to this defendant
and others in Guergis’s unsuccessful lawsuit.
They have mused that
Guergis’s parents can pay
the judgement against their
daughter. They have pondered getting their money
from the MP’s pensions
the couple will be receiving in the future. They have
even calculated that Guergis
will be earning a good salary soon when she graduates from law school at the
University of Alberta. They
have wondered what happened to the proceeds of the
sale of their Ottawa house,
which went for $1,000,000.
Less the mortgage, surely
there was equity there?
But mostly they have
focused on properties presumably owned by Guergis’s husband, Rahim Jaffer.
There are three condominiums, all in Toronto.
One is on Wynford Drive.
It cost $385,000 and has a
$308,000 mortgage. Another
is at Village Green Square. It
cost $252,964 and carries a
mortgage of $196,875. The
last property is on Bamburgh
Circle. It is allegedly halfowned by Rahim Jaffer and
has no registered mortgage.
In other words, the CPC
believes there is more than
ample equity to allow Helena Guergis to pay off her
court costs — even though
she is not the registered coowner of any of the properties. Everything has been
figured out: As a spouse, she
is entitled to a half-interest
in each of the properties.
Welcome to the mean streets
of politics and the law.
Unless she comes up with
a satisfactory payment plan,
the CPC will pay for a financial inquisition into the
affairs of two Conservative
politicians who were once
the glamour couple of the
capital.
But does the party have it
right?
Here is the reaction of the
woman who once dined with
the prime minister and went
to the movies with Stephen
Harper and Laureen, zigzagging through Ottawa traffic
in four black government
SUVs. Helena, by the way,
rode in the PM’s vehicle.
“My goodness we are loaded,” she wrote to her lawyer
regarding the assessment of
her financial status. “Let me
guess, Arthur Hamilton or
Derek Snowdy’s stellar detective work again. Or maybe it was Lisa Raitt. None of
the properties are my husband’s. I repeat, not one of
them. Funny, the night Rahim’s charges became public
I was shocked — and turned
to Axelle (Pellerin, former
chief of staff) and said ‘there
is another Rahim Jaffer — it
has to be him’. I explained
the sale of the Ottawa house
and am happy to supply the
sale documents, etc.
“They forget that I did
have to pay to live for the
last almost three years. I paid
a LOT in legal fees before
I ever walked through the
door! Can’t do any of that on
fresh air and sunshine … oh
wait, I tried that.
“I live in my brother-inlaw’s home. I have nothing
and my husband has very
little and anything he does
have was bought long before
I was in the picture — good
luck on that front. I don’t
give a sweet ass shit if they
want to waste their f—-n
time coming here. They will
find nothing because we got
nothing. I trust this information, if not helpful, is at least
amusing.”
Spoken like the girl who,
as a kid, once threw another kid who was beating up
her sister over the boards
of the local rink in Angus,
Ont. Spoken like a kid who
was called “a dirty, slimy
Iraqi who should go back to
where she came from,” but
stayed and prospered.
Back in those days, her
parents owned a furniture
store and were considered
rich. She remembered as a
girl that when their house
was raided by police and
provincial revenue officers
looking for proof of income tax evasion, they even
searched her bedroom. “I
had just started my period —
I was an early bloomer, and
they even went through my
very first box of maxi-pads.
I was standing there in my
pyjamas and asked if I could
put on my robe. They said
no.”
“Our skin was too dark
for a lot of them,” she said.
“And on top of that I had
this little, tiny voice that everyone made fun of.” Later,
after she unexpectedly won
the Conservative nomination, won her seat, and then
got appointed to cabinet,
skin colour once again became an issue in her hometown.
“I was asked by a constituent why I had brought my
driver with me to town —
the brown man. I told them
that’s not my driver, that’s
my husband.”
In those days of dizzying
ascent Helena Guergis was
awarded the “special chair”
behind and to the side of
Stephen Harper. The special
chair meant that a beautiful
woman would always be on
camera nodding in agreement as the PM gave his
non-answers. The party even
had an answer for her small
voice — voice training lessons in Montreal that would
help her to project with more
authority when she spoke.
“In question period rehearsal, Stephen, other cabinet ministers and Jenni Byrne would sit there watching.
Sometimes some of them
would coach. When I lapsed
into my real voice, because
it was hard to project that
phoney one for too long,
Peter Van Loan would urge,
‘Helena … Big Girl voice,
Big Girl voice.”
Life was good when Stephen Harper had a use for
her. There was the four-level condo in Ottawa with a
kitchen fit for Jamie Oliver,
the driver (she’d asked not to
have one) and enough money to spend $300 a month
colouring her luxuriant hair.
Although she was planning to leave cabinet herself to have a baby and sit
as an MP, she never got the
chance. Her husband Rahim
was arrested under sensational circumstances —
drunk driving, speeding and
possession of cocaine.
‘Dean Del Mastro came
out of caucus and gave an
interview where he said that
there was a standard in the
Conservative caucus that I
didn’t meet. He knew what
was coming down the pike
for him — they knew even
before the last election —
and he said that. I let him
have it.’
“The prime minister called
me and said, ‘From one
friend to another, it’s time
you knew what your husband’s been doing.’”
Then came all the lurid
allegations — stories of offshore bank accounts, and
snorting cocaine in strip
clubs. Banishment from caucus was not enough. Stephen
Harper sent the matter to the
RCMP, among others. Helena Guergis’s political career
was effectively over.
The odd thing was this:
After an exhaustive investigation, the Mounties cleared
the former beauty queen of
any criminal wrongdoing.
As she told me, “I have never even been to a strip club.”
I asked her if she did co-
caine. “I’m far from perfect,
but the answer is no, never.”
The cocaine possession
charge was “withdrawn”
against her husband and he
ended up facing the music on
charges of drunk driving and
speeding — serious matters
to be sure, but not the stuff
of Red Ferraris, private detectives, and stashing cash in
offshore bank accounts.
The fall of this power
couple has been Shakespearian — and it’s still reverberating throughout the party.
(Senator Patrick Brazeau,
facing unpaid suspension
over his housing expense
claims, compared himself to
Guergis in a recent tweet.)
Rahim Jaffer is still searching for a way back after his
head on collision with notoriety, spending a lot of time
in a trailer park in Florida.
Helena is working on a law
degree, keeping a low profile
and enjoying the sunshine in
her life these days — her
three year old son Zavier.
As we walked through the
freezing Edmonton night
on the way to a lecture by
Andrew Coyne, I asked her
about how hard it was to
watch her colleagues drop
her, one by one, including one-time friend Shelley Glover. And that led us

Saturday morning.
Shreddies continues its Search for Goodness
By Wes Keller
If there’s someone in your
community that quietly goes
about volunteering continuously to do things to make
life better for those surrounding him or her, Shreddies
wants to hear about them.
Shreddies is one of the
cereals made by Post Foods
Canada Inc. It is repeating its
Search for Goodness campaign that it initiated in 2011.
In that initial campaign there
were so many good news
stories accompanying nominations that Product Manager Melissa Marchesano
says it “proved that we really
are a nation that strives to do
good.
“When we do good, we
feel good, and for the second
year in a row we’re looking
for someone who embodies
genuine goodness and deserves recognition for their
selfless commitment to their
community.”
In all probability, the persons nominated would be the
last to acknowledge that they
are sacrificing something of
themselves to bring cheer to
others.
Such was the case with
last year’s winner, Greg Epp
of Saskatoon, who said in
a phone interview from his
home that he was pleased to
see the campaign repeated
because, “there are many out
there who are more deserving than I.”
Mr. Epp more or less
shrugged off the suggestion
that the voluntary work he
does every winter would be
deserving of special recognition. And maybe it wouldn’t
seem that way for anyone
who has not experienced
outdoor activity in a winter
on the bald Canadian Prairies.
But Mr. Epp, for the past
“seven or eight years” has
been managing an outdoor
ice rink. Neighborhood kids,
including three of his own,
have learned to skate and
to play hockey on the often
frigid outdoor surface, but
Mr. Epp has also maintained
a “warming shack” at the
community rink where temperatures can exceed minus
40 plus wind chill. “It’s a
lot of fun,” he said but also
acknowledged that “it’s a bit
chilly at times.”
This year’s campaign has
been happening since the
beginning of October. And
nominations close on Nov.
24, but can be made online
at www.searchforgoodness.
ca until that date.
So far, the only known local nominee is Pastor Gord
Horsley of Shelburne, who
was surprised when he got a
call from the media.
“I’ve been nominated?”
he said with obvious shock
in his voice. “I don’t know a
thing about it.”
Similarly to Mr. Epp, the
pastor didn’t that he would
be as entitled as many others
for his community involvement.
But others evidently view
it differently.
From the nomination,
Shreddies has this to say:
“Pastor Gord Horsley gives
tirelessly to many of the
needy in the area and is a
shining example of selflessness. He is the parson for the
local Legion, ministering to
a large group of veterans and
regularly visits the seniors’
residences in town. He often
fills in for other ministers
that have been scheduled to
hold a service for the elderly
but are unable to fulfill the
obligation. When the need is
greatest the seniors will call
on Pastor Horsley. He is the
chair of the ministerial group
for the town – added responsibility when arranging special multi-denominational
events. Many other events
benefit from Pastor Horsley’s personal time. He has
been a judge for Shelburne
Idol, sits on panels for public
speaking competitions and
assists in countless civic activities. His selfless commitment is an inspiration, making him a worthy nominee in
our ‘Search for Goodness’,”
Shreddies says.
“Well, yes. I do a lot of
work at Dufferin Oaks but a
lot of us (ministers) do that.
Yes, I often fill in for others,
but so does everyone else,”
he said.
Nonetheless, he was grateful for the nomination. If
he is one of five nominees
short-listed by Shreddies,
his story will be posted for a
public vote. If he wins the
vote, he will be featured in a
Shreddies television spot, as
has Mr. Epp for the past year.
Pastor Horsley and his
wife and fellow pastor, Kate,
founded Abiding Faith Ministries in Shelburne nearly
10 years ago. Their Sunday
worship services are at 10
a.m. in the Dufferin Oaks
auditorium.
The website for the fellowship says this: ”Pastor Gord
and Kate have ministered for
the Lord for over 23 years.
They have been involved in
missions, youth pastoring,
inner healing, deliverance,
prayer counseling & church
planting.

More letter from our readers
What are you going to do about it?
Dear editor:
I see in the paper that our
councillor Bruce Hair has
concern at the condition of
the roads in the south end of
the town. You mean it took
him two years to come to
this conclusion? There have
been many studies and reports that have come to this
conclusion a long while ago.
What I can’t understand is
that after getting all this information no one seems to
do anything. We seem to
have elected a do nothing
council. What do I expect?
Well we have a high priced
planning department why
can’t they get a pencil and
paper and lay out a 15 or 20
year plan on how they want
council to proceed to correct
the problems. Give us some
confidence that council is
doing something.
There are two things that
we know and they are, if Alliston’s growth continues it
will approach 100,000 people in about 15 to 20 years
which means that our present road structure will not
accommodate the commuter
traffic and secondly that
while we know where the
costs of fixing is to be applied we have no idea where
the money is coming from.
However the first step is to
lay out a 15 to 20 year plan
and then starting to fix some
of the low cost problems. If
you never start you will never finish.
The following are some
suggestions. A by-pass has
been talked about for years,
can we not define on paper
where it should be located
and work on the province
to build it. We might as well
start now for we all know
that it will take years to get
them to move on it however they could recover their
costs by making it a toll
road. However, I know it is
like previous plans gathering
dust on the shelf somewhere.
Tottenham, Beeton and
those on the 10th Sideroad
are complaining of heavy
truck traffic Surely this can
be looked at. The 10th Sideroad is beginning to show
the affects of years of 2
trucks every 2 minutes going to the gravel pits. Unfortunately due to the provinces
agreement with the aggregate operators nothing can
be done however said agreement does not cover the
roads and therefore surely
we can ask these operators
to pay for maintaining the
road to municipal standards.
You know if you break it you
fix it.
Really the 10th Sideroad
should be a county road as it
is a main thoroughfare from
89 to Hwy 9. Also at 9 there
should be a stop light at the
intersection of Hwy 9 and
the 10th Sideroad as it is a
death trap. The 10th Sideroad from the 7th line to Hwy.
9 has 3 speed limits and goes
through a residential rural
area with a lot of children in
the area, therefore why can’t
the speed limit be reduce to
60 over this stretch of road?
Recently the town has
been busy painting stop bars
6 feet from the mouth of the
road at intersections however when you stop at the line
you do not have a clear view
of the intersection and when
you pull forward you are in a
perfect spot to be “T” boned.
As for money it is my contention that the 50-40-10
formula has to be revised to
send more of the national in-
A message from the Beeton Lions Club
Dear editor:
Yes, the Beeton Lions
Club continues to exist in
serving the community of
Beeton and the larger world
community. The club has
recently increased its membership by four new members bringing it to a total of
12. New members are Tina
McDougall, Sandy McAulay, Wendy Deconinck and
Karen Kenn. The need for
more members is still an issue. With a larger membership the more activities and
projects the club is able to
carry out. The club has set
a goal of at least four more
new members by February.
Locally the club supports minor hockey, soccer, the Christmas Hamper
program, Beeton Guides
and Brownies, Stevenson
Memorial Hospital, children activities at Beeton
Fall Fair, free skate program at Beeton Arena, the
Beeton Library, sponsoring the Lions Peace Poster
contest in local schools as
well as carrying out an an-
nual local road clean up
and recognizing Grade 8
students with the Community Service Award for
their volunteer work. In its
role of supporting families
in need the club has in the
past year held a benefit concert for two local children
experiencing cancer related
illnesses and assisted an individual in obtaining much
needed appliances. The
club has covered the costs
of upgrading the electrical system in the snack bar
located in the Beeton Park.
Recently the Lions held a
electronic waste collection
that saw a large number of
electronics collected and all
were diverted from going
into land fill sites and in return the club received monies that will go back into the
community.
Beyond the community
of Beeton the Lions support
four specialized camps.
They are the Lions Camp
Dorest for dialysis patients,
CNIB Camp Lake Joseph,
Ontario Camp for the Deaf
and Camp Huronda for diabetes patients. The club also
supports the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guide
program that train dogs to
assist individuals with special needs. Another program
supported by the club is the
Lions Clubs International
Foundation which recently
donated over $400,000 to
the Philippines Disaster
Relief Fund with more to
follow. Sight conservation
is a major program of Lions
Clubs International.
As stated earlier one of
the goals of the Beeton Lions is to increase its membership. We are looking for
individuals who want to
give back to their community as well as serving those
in need in their community
and around the world. We
ask that one gives serious
consideration in joining the
largest world service organization of over 3.5 million
members. For further information call 905 778-9597.
