kiss and ride aPProved at Fraser Presbyterian – Parish members from Fraser Presbyterian Church, located at 70 Queen Street S. in
Tottenham, have requested that the Town of New Tecumseth approve a handicapped parking space in front of the church. The parishioners preference
would be to have the designated space in the south spot, adjacent the new addition that allows wheelchairs into the historic building – using a chair
lift to get to the lower levels, however council will allot the north space as the handicapped spot. This, explained Director of Engineering Rick Vatri, is
due to some technical issues in designating the space. Although the council item was brought forward for discussion by Ward 8 Councillor Chris Ross,
Beeton Councillor (Ward 6) Richard Norcross, who had also spoken with Fraser Presbyterian Church members, said the church would be okay with
the north space designation, so long as a ‘Kiss and Ride’ could be arranged on church service dates. Council voted on Ross’ motion and approved the
south space, and the Kiss and Ride.

The Wee British Butcher & Fine Foods set to open in Tottenham
BY WENDY GABREK
Arun Sharma and Jason
Garforth are set to open
their new butcher shop, ‘The
Wee British Butcher & Fine
Foods’ in Tottenham, later
this month.
The business will host a
soft opening on Saturday,
January 31st from 10 a.m.
– 4 p.m. and will celebrate
its official grand opening
on Thursday, February 5th,
with opening ceremonies at
3 p.m. and free samples from
3:30 p.m. onwards.
Arun and Jason invite you
to, “discover our fine range
of meats and foods, see what
we offer and try some samples of delicious foods”. And
don’t forget to enter their
free draw!
The business will carry
a variety of free range, and
quality meats, as well as a
line of pre-packaged foods
with Indian flare.
Arun told The Times, “It’s
not just a butcher shop, it’s
a place to learn about the
foods you’re consuming and
get some great meal ideas.”
The Wee British Butcher
& Fine Foods is located in
the old Chili n’ Ice store,
next to the Royal Bank at
the 4-corners in Tottenham.
They will be employing a local butcher.

The sign in the front window of the former Chilli n Ice store at
the 4-corners in Tottenham is the only indication that a soft

Sharma assures The Times everything is on schedule and
going to be fabulous.

Kids using rail corridor to get to school
By Wendy GaBreK
Ward 8 Councillor Chris
Ross told council that kids in
Tottenham are using the CP
rail tracks to get to school at
the January Committee of
the Whole meeting.
Having cut a hole in the
rail lines fencing, children
are trespassing on private
property to get to Father F.X.
O’Reilly Catholic Elementary School and St. Thomas
Aquinas Catholic Secondary School at the north end
of Town, in the morning and
on the return home in the afternoon.
Ross said that he had
been to the site himself, and
walked the tracks to get a
better understanding of what
was happening. He said that
he could tell a repair had
been done to the fencing,
but the hole had been ripped
back open.
Ross said was made aware
of the dangerous issue of the
“shortcut”, which starts on
McGaughy Street, during
his campaigning process in
2014. He asked for a recommendation from staff at his
first opportunity.
Director of Planning,
Chad Horan, said the Town
was aware of the issue, and
had fixed the fencing, but
there wasn’t much else that
could be done, as the tracks,
and the fence surrounding
it, were property of CPR.
He said he would make sure
they were advised of the issue.
Children, looking for the
shortest route to school, are
using the tracks prevents
them from having to walk
two blocks west to use the
main street, making the live
rail track a better option for
some.
Ross asked that the Town
look into additional routes,
or even a possible tunnel, to
keep the kids off the tracks.
Director of Engineering,
Rick Vatri, said there were
no capital funds currently set
aside to build such a tunnel.
Ward 7 Councillor Shira
Harrison McIntyre asked if
it were possible to share the
costs of building a tunnel
with CPR. Vatri replied that
it would be unlikely.
Ross asked for a report
back from staff on what was
happening, and possible
suggestions to mitigate the
problem. Ward 6 Councillor
Richard Norcross seconded
the motion, saying, “We
need to put CP on notice.
People are trespassing.”
Council approved Ross’
motion and a report back
from staff is expected.

54+ Club expansion costs total $1.3 million
By Wendy GaBreK
Members of the 54+ Club
will move in to their new
home at the NTRC in Alliston
this March.
A 4,000 sq.ft. expansion
was built at the New Tecumseth Recreation Centre
(NTRC) on Industrial Parkway in Alliston to accommodate the group of seniors,
with a project contribution of
$256,000 from the seniors’
club – towards a project that
was originally estimated to
cost $680,000.
Most recently, discussion
on the expansion was back in
front of council, to approve
a further $83,221.79 in costs
– bringing the project to a
grand total of $1,278,943.89,
or $600,000 over budget.
The latest fees are related
to project management costs,
not included in the approved
budget, of $60,960 and
change orders in the amount
of $22,261.79.
The 54+ Club plans to
pay the Town their promised
$256,000 contribution by dissolving GIC investments in
three parts during fiscal 2015.

How’s your new council doing so far?
By Wendy GaBrek
It’s been interesting watching the new council gel.
Having followed each
member of council for the
duration of their political
careers in New Tecumseth –
whether that be a decade or
longer, or just 6 weeks – the
politics of politics are beginning to shine through.
Mayor Rick Milne is doing a good job so far, and
he wears his Chain of Office
proudly (he’s been dying to
get his hands on that since
forever). Council meetings
are running smoothly, and
he knows when to turn to the
Clerk for help as he comes
to know procedural practices
better. He needs, however, to
learn the councillors names
(especially Shira Harrison
McIntyre) and to know when
to cut someone off at the podium.
Deputy Mayor Jamie
Smith, a lawyer, has been
pretty quiet so far this term.
He doesn’t appear to be
memorized by the cameras
filming council and committee meetings, coming across
as pretty laid back. Speaking
only when his opinion matters.
Ward 1 Councillor Marc
Biss is proving to be a tightwad with the budget (a good
thing) and really reads his
council package before each
meeting. He’s even taken
to writing his own motions

– a technique usually reserved for the senior councillor. Fighting to fulfill his
campaign promises he uses
words like “transparency”
a lot and looks ahead when
making decisions today.
Ward 2 Councillor Michael Beattie, who recently
got engaged (congratulations!) seems to be on the
ball as well. Michael doesn’t
speak to everything at council and seems to be focused
on issues concerning mostly
Alliston. Well spoken, Michael has been representing
his ward successfully so far.
In Ward 3 we have seasoned councillor and former
Manager of Finance, JJ Paul
Whiteside. As his resume
CNW – On Januay 14th,
the Honourable Dr. K. Kellie
Leitch, Minister of Labour
and Minister of Status of
Women, concluded a successful working visit to India. In
Delhi, the Minister met with
her Indian counterparts, the
ministers responsible for labour and women’s issues. The
Minister and her counterparts
discussed issues such as eradicating child labour, efforts
to combat violence against
women and girls, and how to
best encourage more women
to join India’s growing economy.
In Ahmedabad, Minister
Leitch participated in the 7th
annual Vibrant Gujarat Global
Summit on January 11 and
helped lead the Canada Country Seminar where she promoted Canada’s strong business climate and promoted the
country as a place for companies to grow, prosper and create jobs. She also spoke about
the importance of corporate
social responsibility and how
companies and the communities in which they operate can
both benefit from responsible
business practices. Minister
Leitch also met with representatives from grassroots organizations to discuss women’s
empowerment and other labour-related issues.
Minister Leitch also met
with Ms. Tine Staermose,
Director of the International
Labour Organization Decent
Work Team for South Asia.
The Minister and the Director
discussed results of a Canadian-funded project focussing
on reducing vulnerabilities
and promoting decent work,
and the overall labour situation in India and in the South
Asian region.
A special highlight of the
Delhi component was the
Minister’s meeting with Mr.
Kailash Sathyarti, the corecipient of the 2014 Nobel
Peace Prize. Minister Leitch
and Mr. Sathyarti discussed
several issues such as promoting women’s rights and the
need to fight harmful and barbaric practices such as early,
child and forced marriage. The
Minister congratulated him on
his Nobel win and thanked
him for his work in promoting
the advancement of women
and basic human rights, both
in India and around the world.
“Our Government is proud
to work with domestic and
foreign stakeholders to encourage responsible business
practices while promoting
Canada abroad as a strong,
stable and prosperous place
where businesses can grow
and thrive. We continue to
work with our international
partners, like India, to ensure that working conditions
are fair and safe, fundamental rights are respected and
vulnerable workers are protected. We will also continue
to promote the importance of
more women participating
in the labour market, and the
need to protect and defend the
rights of women and girls,”
said Leitch, Minister of Labour and Minister of Status of
Women.
might suggest, JJ questions
spending and debenturing
faithfully. He writes his own
motions and comes prepared
for discussion. As long as it
doesn’t affect the ratepayer,
JJ is usually onside with
project development in New
Tecumseth and you can tell
he lives for council meetings.
Ward 4 is represented by
Fran Sainsbury. She’s been
separated by her buddy, JJ
Paul, at the council desk this
year, but still agrees with
him on most issues. Fran has
had a long career in politics,
which makes her unpopular
with some councillors. That
said, Fran certainly contributes at council discussions
and is ready to stand-up for
what she believes in.
Ward 5 is everybody’s favorite, Donna Jebb. Always
advocating for the rural community, Donna has no real
enemies on council and is
a soft-spoken sweetheart.
Her Harry Potter glasses are
perfectly suited to her petite frame and she is a great
farmers-wife, and friend to
New Tecumseth.
Ward 6 belongs to Richard
Norcross. Richard is the only
member of council who likes
to get a laugh going to break
the tension and believes in
following the procedural
process. Often clearing his
throat as a sign of discontentment, Richard always gets
his point across, and knows
how to play ball with other
members of council to get
things done.
Ward 7 is Shira Harrison
McIntyre’s. Shira’s style on
council is still emerging. She
asks for clarification as necessary, and is generally quiet.
Whenever I look at her, she
is usually smiling and listening to the conversation. I’m
sure as time goes on, and as
more issues arise that effect
her ward directly, she’ll have
more to say.
Ward 8 belongs to Chris
Ross. Chris is quick to set
the record straight and says
what’s on his mind when
it’s appropriate. So far he’s
been a great advocate for the
community of Tottenham.
He commands respect at the
council desk and I’m sure
everyone likes working with
him. This baby-faced politician is learning fast – how
and when his vote counts.
So far, I’d say council is
doing a pretty good job. I
think it’s going to be a long
four years ahead, however,
as there are many issues facing the town and many new
opinions to sort through. As
Bob Marrs (former Ward 1
Councillor) said at January’s
Committee of the Whole
meeting, “Remember, you’re
running the town, not for reelection”.
He was referring to tax increases, but I think councillors would be best to heed
his advice in general. If they
can find a way to do that, and
keep their election promises,
New Tec will run like a welloiled machine.

Adele Kostiak President of the South Simcoe Arts Council,
asked council to approve the annual grant of $25,000 that
would bring “art for all”. She explained that the 2015 grant
would help the SSAC maximize dollars, energy and volunteer hours and enable the artists of the community to maintain
a presence. The $25K would be spent on Arts on Main, the
annual Music Festival, and representation at local festivals.
It would also partially fund a membership directory and the
Gibson gallery. Kostiak also asked for an additional grant of
$2,000 for Youth Arts by the River, which started 11 years ago
and $2,500 to revamp ‘Spotlight on the Arts’.

User GroUPs attend bUdGet PUblic inPUt session – Steve Aelick, new President of Matthews House Hospice,
attended the Public Input Session for the 2015 Town of New Tecumseth Budget. Aelick gave a presentation to council, and
asked for a $27,000 grant. The grant would be used to pay the rent at the hospice’s secondary location in Kingsmere Village.
Last year, the Town gifted Matthews House a one time grant of $25,000 to help pay for round-the-clock nursing care required
by the not-for-profit organization that helps patients and families deal with end of life care and chronic illness management.
Matthews House receives just $38,000 a year from the government, plus an additional $46,000 from Trillium (a grant that ends
at the end of 2015). They served 426 patients in 2014 (up from 357 in 2013 and 267 in 2012). As of the end of August, 2014,
110 people had passed away in their secondary location at Kingsmere. The hospice has partnered with Stevenson Memorial
Hospital, the LHIN and CCAC towards the expansion of their chronic illness management facilities – that will hopefully bring
in additional funding during their next fiscal period. Council will decide the fate of the grant for Matthews House Hospice at
the February 9th Committee of the Whole meeting, when the 2015 Budget is expected to be passed. Pictured: Aelick shows
council conceptual drawing of a planned third location, at Wellington Street at Nelson Street in the old Public Works building.

He suggested that if each citizen of new Tecumseth paid 25¢/day, over and above the taxation levy, for a period ness plan, based on best practices. The Gibson Centre is

“If you don’t raise the asset replacement and maintenance reserves now, you’re hurting yourself in the long run”. Finally, Marrs is home of the local Handweavers and Spinners Club. Fortin

Adj–Tos council looks at more comprehensive fill by-law
riChard blanChard
A proposed by-law to
charge a variable fee and
levy per cubic metre of fill
brought into Adjala–Tosorontio brought a mixed
response from-council last
week.
With its proximity to the
Greater Toronto Area, the
township has seen an increase in fill dropped off
within its boundaries over
the past couple of years.
The new proposed bylaw,
prepared by Public Works
superintendent Jim Moss,
would see those placing fill
less than a total of 1,0000
cubic fees charged a permit fee of $500 plus a levy
of $1.00 per cubic metre.
Those placing over 1,000
cubic meters of fill would
be charged $1,000 for the
permit fee and $2 per cubic
metre.
Fill used to rehabilitate
aggregate operations would
see a permit fee of $1,000
and a charge of $1 per cubic metre. Renewing the
permits would also have
varying fees from $250 to
$1,000.
Moss said that town-
ship has concerns about the
transporting of fill causing
premature wear to the township’s roads which would
cost on average $45,000 per
kilometre to repave. The
new charge would bring in
between $10 and $20 per
average dump truck load.
Ward 3 councillor Bob
Meadows said that he had
concerns about the type of
fill brought into the township.
“What if the wrong stuff is
brought in to the township.
We really don’t any real way
of confirming the quality of
each load by load,” he said.
Councillor Floyd Pinto,
whose Ward One has seen
much of the dumping of fill
in the township, said that
he still wondered about the
township responsible for
cleanup costs if problems
arose.
“Somebody could buy a
property and make millions
of dollars in fill. Then they
could declare bankruptcy
and leave us with the cleanup costs,” he said.
Council agreed to move
ahead a with a public meeting which will be held at
the next council meeting on
February 9.
CoW meetings to
remain at 7 p.m.

Wilson makes donation on behalf of PCs to loCal Women’s shelters – Last week, Ontario PC Interim
Leader MPP Jim Wilson was pleased to present a cheque on behalf of the Ontario PC Caucus to his local women’s shelters,
My Friend’s House in Collingwood and My Sister’s Place in Alliston. The donation in the amount of $1,577 for each shelter was
raised from the proceeds of the Annual PC Caucus Christmas Party. “On behalf of the Ontario PC Caucus, I am very pleased
to be making a donation to such a worthy cause in our community,” said Wilson. “I am so thankful for the efforts of these organizations to support victims of violence and abuse.” In the fall of 2014, the Ontario PC Caucus pushed the provincial government
for a Select Committee to examine the continued problem of violence against women and in particular, sexual harassment in
the workplace. Wilson and his colleagues were successful in their efforts and the PC Critic on Women’s Issues, MPP Laurie
Scott and the PC Critic on Labour, MPP Randy Hillier, will be representing the PC Caucus on that Select Committee. As Interim
Leader, Wilson chose to make the donation to his local women’s shelters in the spirit of his Caucus’s efforts. The PC Caucus
remains committed to supporting those who work to combat violence against women.

Despite discussions to move Committee of the Whole (or
COW) meetings to 10 a.m., council has voted to keep the
status quo and hold them Monday evenings at 7 p.m.
Ward 3 Councillor JJ Paul Whiteside was the only member of council not in favour the motion put forward by Ward
6 Councillor Richard Norcross to keep things the same.
Council had several meetings on the issue, and the 10
a.m. suggestion was thought to meet the needs of shift
workers, who would then be able to attend if they were on
afternoons.
Council meetings would have remained at 7 p.m. even if
COW meetings were moved.
Council Chambers are mostly empty at both COW and
council meetings, as very few residents ever attend, unless
they are there to speak to a particular issue.
Council and COW meetings are aired on Rogers Channel
65 for those who cannot attend but are interested in watching the proceedings.

life lessons at Procyon Wildlife
Penny Gilbertson
A community-based education program is in the
planning stages at Procyon
Wildlife
Veterinary and
Rehabilitation Services in
Beeton, thanks to a $50,000
grant from Shell.
Supporters and volunteers
saved gas receipts and diligently registered them online to realize this goal, in
competition with many other charities vying for funds.
A strong team of volunteers including administrators, teachers, and a fourth
year biology student, plan to
offer a program that shows
the importance of preserving wildlife and their habitats. Wildlife is often adversely impacted by society.
By sharing animal facts,
Procyon hopes to provide a
fun and challenging experience that teaches people to
live in harmony with wild
animals, and reduce unnecessary orphaning and injury.
An outreach program for
grade four students will be
taken to schools. Grade four
was chosen as the initial target group for wildlife appreciation because at this age,
children are keenly interested in their surroundings
and are mature enough to
understand the message being conveyed. Printed material will be sent home with
students to educate their
families about the Procyon
centre and its purpose.
Hands-on displays will be
used as learning tools, and a
video presentation will fol-
low an animal from its arrival at the centre to its release.
Why the animal was admitted and what treatment it received will be discussed.
Students will be informed
about habitat, environmental changes, natural parenting methods for various
animals, how to protect animals in the wild, and why
that is important. How to
deal with problem animals
so they don’t end up at the
centre for treatment is also a
proactive goal.
Other programs will be
geared to various adult and
children’s clubs that can
visit the centre.
Procyon Wildlife is located at 6441 7th Line, Beeton,
on a scenic natural area on
the Beeton Creek. One-way
ALL NEW
glass is already in place indoors, so the facility can be
toured without visual contact between people and animals. Keeping the animals
wild is paramount to their
successful release. The site
is suitable for small groups
of 15-20. This number can
easily be accommodated in
the present meeting room

The costs of the trail between Everett and Base Borden will escalate to almost
$300,000 before its completion,
Adjala–Tosorontio
council members learned
last week.
The trail was originally expected to cost about $80,000
but with the decision to extend the trail to the south
gates of Base Borden, widening of the trail from 2.1
metres to 3.0 metres and the
need for a new pedestrian
bridge the cost has escalated
to $291,000.
The township has received
$80,000 from Simcoe County towards the project last
year and is eligible for another $80,000 this year.
This will leave an outstanding $131,515 for the
project which is largely
the costs of using staff and
township equipment for the
project. Some staff time was
expected to be needed for
the project.
Councillor Sam Keenan
said that he felt that the project had become much bigger
than originally anticipated.
“It seems a bit ill conceived,” he said. We didn’t
really have enough time to
consider all the implications,” he said.
Complicating the situation
is that a new trail needs to be
constructed at Base Borden
to connect to the Adjala–Tosorontio portion while the
Essa portion of the trail had
to be delayed because of the
impact of the tornado last
year.
Councillor Scott Anderson
said that he was concerned
about a request from Base
Borden to work on a portion
of the trail within the base
boundaries and the rising
costs of the project.
Council received the report and requested a further
report from staff on funding
the trails completion.

So how do you get the technological generation to buy into
reading? One way is to read a book for which a movie has been
produced. Good readers visualize what they are reading, so a
novel becomes a movie running in their heads. Have you ever
been really angry at a director’s casting choices? That’s because
the director’s choices don’t match the characters you had in your
movie. Visualization is the “magic” that transforms the words on
the page into real entertainment!

bumPy tracks – JJ Paul Whiteside, Ward 3 Councillor, brought froward concerns
on the current condition of the CPR tracks that cross Victoria Street in Alliston at the
January Committee of the Whole meeting. JJ said that the state of the tracks, that
are lifting as motorists drive over them, have worsened in the past 4–6 weeks. The
tracks are “in need of emergency repair,” JJ told council and staff. JJ put forward a
motion that a letter be sent to Canadian Pacific Railway asking for their immediate
attention to the issue, as he had been receiving several complaints from ratepayers
daily. Ward 4 Councillor Fran Sainsbury agreed with JJ, adding, “the rails are not stabilized” which needs to be addressed in addition to concrete patches needed on the
roadway at the rail crossing. Ward 2 Councillor Michael Beattie said that the crossing
on Albert Street, Alliston, was also in need of repair, as it was also quickly deteriorating. JJ amended his motion to include the Albert Street crossing. The motion passed
by a unanimous vote from council.

Students 4 Soup:
NPSS Wins
2nd Place!
By KERSTYN DOBBS
NOTTAWASAGA PINES
SECONDARY SCHOOL
On December 5th, 2014, some
students from Nottawasaga Pines
Secondary School’s (NPSS) hospitality classes participated in a soup
competition at Georgian College.
This was a trial competition and
EI EI Eat is hoping to make this
competition annual and a Canada
wide event.
Students from various high
schools in Simcoe County had to
prepare soups at their own school
and then bring it to Georgian College to be heated up and tasted by
judges selected by EI EI Eat. The
competition involved nine schools
in total and schools were separated
into three different groups. Students
heated their soups and brought their
creations to the judges’ table where
three tasting bowls and one presentation bowl was set-up.
NPSS had the youngest student
representatives at the competition
and they all worked cooperatively
and efficiently to create an amazing
beet and apple soup, made with
horseradish cream. The students
earned a second place win.
This experience really opened
students’ eyes to what the work
force and hospitality trade is like,
due to the time limits and pressure
to present a tasty and appealing
soup.
NPSS’ participation in the
Students 4 Soup competition is
only one of the many ways NPSS is
providing learning experiences that
prepare students for future education and/or work experiences.

On the evenings of January
14th and 15th, Nottawasaga Pines
Secondary School hosted the
musical The Sound of Music.
There was a cast and crew of
approximately eighty five Nottawasaga students that participated
in the production and the Director/
Producer was theatre arts teacher
Leanne Young. Nottawasaga
has a student population of 780
students and the production was
a collaboration of theatre musical
and theatre production students
along with students from the construction class.
The Sound of Music is a
favorite by so many and Notta-
wasaga did not let the audience
down. The songs and costumes
were right on and while attending
it was tempting to sing along with
the students. The story was
true to the musical we have
all seen on, with young Maria
leaving the chapel and going
to work with the Von Trapp
family as a governess.
The efforts and contribution
made by the students was
a great success and it was
evident that the students were
enjoying their roles with the
production.
It is always encouraging to
see youth participating in the
arts and it was enjoyable to see
an old favorite again.

Beeton Stingers Atom
Rep win big over
Christmas break
The Beeton Stingers Atom Rep team have been battling
hard all season. Over the Christmas break they attended
the Niagara on the Lake Christmas Tournament. With high
hopes and lots of energy they went into there first game on
Saturday Dec. 27 against Tillsonburg. The Singers found
themselves down 2–0 after one period, but didn’t give up.
They put the pressure on and by half way through the 3rd
they tied it up at 2. As time was running out it was back and
forth hockey. With under 2 minutes left #12, Rory Ewing,
potted a great goal and they held on for the win. Game 2,
Sunday afternoon, was against Stratford. The Stingers keep
up the momentum and with a breakout game by #11, Paul
Blair, who had 2 goals in the 1st and 1 in the 2nd, the pace
was sent and the Stingers went onto win 10–0. With everything looking good for a run at the championship, Monday
morning saw them up against the home Centre, NOTL. It
was a hard fought game by both sides but with less than 30
seconds left in the 3rd, a late change at the Stingers bench
and #11 stepped onto the ice and wasn’t going to accept
anything but a win. He grabbed the puck at centre ice and
drove it all the way to the back of the net with only 14
seconds left. With 3 wins the semi-finals saw the Stingers against Haliburton and another commanding win, 7–0.
Monday was a long day for all and the Finals brought the
Stingers full circle as the faced off against Tillsonburg.
With goals in the 1st and 2nd by #2, Jack Sceviour, the
Stingers lead 2-1 after 2. The game was back and forth with
both team trading a gaol in the 3rd but in the end the Stingers held on for the win and the Championship. MVP of the
tournament went to #11, Paul Blair, while honourable mentions go to #1, Jake Beattie, the man between the pipes who
had a stellar weekend and to #19, Dylan Kelly, for breaking
onto the scoreboard with 2 goals in the tournament. It was a
great team effort for a great team win.

Hornets poised to claim GMOHL Championship

The Alliston Hornets take on the Caledon Golden Hawks in Caledon on Sunday, January 18. The Hornets left the ice with an
8–2 win for victory number 30 for the season.
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
After Sunday’s (Jan. 18)
win in Caledon, the Alliston
Junior C Hornets are two
points closer to claiming the
2015 Georgian Mid Ontario
Junior C Hockey League
title.
The win gives the Hornets
61 points – six ahead of the
second place Stayner Siskins.
With four games left on
the regular season schedule
the Hornets are poised to finish in the top spot.
The only way they can
lose now is if the Hornets
lose their final four games
and the Stayner Skiskins win
their final four.
Given the Hornets record that’s highly unlikely.
Even if the Hornets lose two
games and the Siskins win
all of theirs, they will still be
two points behind Alliston in
the final tally.
The Hornets game against
the Caledon Golden Hawks
on Sunday showed how the
Alliston squad is ramping up
for the final run to the playoffs.
The Hornets were leading 3-1 at the end of the first
period on goals from Nick
Arcan, Connor Annett, and
a short handed effort from
Mark O’Donnell.
When the squads returned
for the second frame the Alliston team dominated for
the entire period keeping the
Hawks in their own zone for
most of the 20 minutes.
Three more Alliston goals
in the second period made it
a 6-1 game going into the final frame.
Second period Hornets
goals came from Nic Archibald, Tanner Dockerty,
and Mark O’Donnell.
The Hawks managed to
score two in the last period
to close the gap slightly but
another short handed goal
from Connor Annett and a
final marker from Joe Co-
chrane ended the game at
8–3.
With the playoffs starting
to shape up, the Huntsville
Otters are in third place behind Stayner with 45 points.
In the number four spot,
the Penetang Kings are
struggling to maintain their
position with the Schomberg
Cougars pressing them – five
points behind the Kings.
Caledon is now tied with
the Cougars with 35 points.
The Hornets will be in
Stayner tonight, Thursday,
January 22.
They return to home ice on
Friday, January 23, to host
the Huntsville Otters.

Fire fighters flex their muscles for SMH at Curves
BY WEnDY GaBREk
On Friday, January 16th,
Curves Tottenham invited
fire fighters from each of the
New Tecumseth Fire Department stations (three from
Station 1 Alliston, three from
Station 2 Beeton, and three
from Station 3 Tottenham)
to flex their muscles for Stevenson Memorial Hospital
(SMH).
The fire fighters faced-off
against each other to see
who was the most pumped
up, with Alliston winning
the competition with a total
of 907 repetitions on five
machines.
The club raised $1050 during this second annual event
(Tottenham won it in 2014),
through the sale of $20 tickets, and all proceeds will be
donated to Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation
in a cheque presentation at
Curves this Friday.
It was a fun evening for all,
with door prizes and draws
throughout the night – even
though the participating fire
fighters likely went home
with sore muscles from
working the Curves circuit.
Congratulations Station 1!

RETIREMENT
ANNOUNCEMENT: Community
pharmacist
Dave Vanderwater has
retired. On behalf of
Shoppers Drug Mart,
Beeton and the community, I would like to
thank Dave for his many
years of dedicated service and wish him and
Betty many happy and
healthy years of retirement. Dave has been a
well liked and respected
pharmacist in this area
for over 40 years. Some
of us have had the
privilege of working with
Dave for many of those
years. Dave did not
want a lot of recognition
of his retirement, so he
quietly said his farewells
to his co-workers and
is settling in to the next
phase of his life. Many
members of the community are missing Dave
and inquiring about
him. If anyone would
like to send Dave your
“best wishes only”, you
can stop by Shoppers
Drug Mart in Beeton
and sign a community
Retirement Card. We’ll
be sure he receives it.

WORD AD
Waldstein:
Eva Luise
FOR ONLY
It is with the utmost
sadness that we announce the passing
of Eva Waldstein (nee
Sperschneider) peacefully on Thursday January 15, 2015 at the Village of Humber Heights,
Toronto at the grand age of 93 years, 360 days.
Born January 20, 1921 in Jena Germany to Josef
and Luise Sperschneider, she immigrated to Canada and proudly made it her home. She is pre-deceased by her husband Otto (1991), parents and
siblings. Eva was the much beloved and loving
mother of Karen (Guy) , cherished grandmother
to Erik, Toronto, and devoted aunt of Lutz and Dieter Sperschneider and families in Germany. Her
love of life was amazing and her strength and
independence were inspiring. We shall forever
miss her beautiful smile and her “coffee breaks”.
Her greatest joy was time spent with family and
friends and her community of neighbours in Beeton. Eva was a warm, vibrant, intelligent woman
with a life long “can-do” attitude, always willing
to lend her support and contributing to many worthy causes. A spring interment is planned at Trinity
Cemetery, Beeton ON. We will always remember
her with love and speak of her with smiles. Bye
Mom, love you lots x0x0, Till we meet again ....

Brrr...it’s cold outside!
By Jennifer Howard
Have you ever wondered
how our feathered friends
stay warm during the winter? They are quite remarkable little creatures. During
the fall months you will notice that the birds can eat you
out of house and home. But
what they are really doing is
building on an extra layer of
fat to help them get through
those cold winter months.
Their feathers also act as an
insulator with a downy layer
next to the body. Legs have
specialized scales that minimize heat loss and they can
also control the temperature
of their legs and feet by constricting blood flow. This
reduces heat loss even further. On a sunny day birds
big and small will sit with
backs to the sun. Unlike us
who sit facing the sun to get
some healthy rays and vitamin D. They face back to
it; this is the biggest part of
their body, and by doing this,
with feathers fluffed a little,
and maybe even wings dropping a wee bit, they are allowing the sun’s heat to penetrate through to heat them
more efficiently. By fluffing
out their feathers they are
also creating an air pocket
helping to keep that heat in.
Standing on one leg or beak
tucked in! All signs of keeping warm. On very chilly
days just like us, a bird will
shiver to keep warm. This
generates more body heat,
PHoto By wendy GaBrek
winter’s sky – The sun shone brightly over the fields of New Tecumseth on Tuesday, January 20th. The temperature was a chilly -14º C but nature never seemed so warm and inviting.
just like for ourselves. How
can we help?
Build brush piles in your
backyard for shelter, plant
evergreen shrubs and or
trees, build a winter roosting box. Supply good foods
such as peanuts, suet and
bark butter for energy, and
black oiled sunflower to
name a few. Keep the feeders full and sit back and enjoy the beautiful birds. Also
if you can supply them with
fresh water, that would also
benefit them. By purchasing a bird bath heater from
a store like Wild Birds Unlimited for example, having
fresh water would save them
the energy they need to use

Motion Device kicks–off new Kickstarter campaign
is far from dead. Although
the music industry seems
to be bent on forcing every
other genre down our collective throats, this very young
rock band, lead by their 13
year old vocalist Sara, plans
on bringing rock and metal
back to the forefront.
They are eager to show
many doubters out there that
these days all a rock band really needs to make it in the
music business is fans and
Motion Device has already
built quite an audience.
The band is approaching 6
million views and 33,000
subscribers on their You-
Caledon’s very own Motion Device has just released
it’s second official Kickstarter campaign in an attempt to
get a new full length album
funded by fans. The young
band already completed a
tube channel and more than
13,000 likes on Facebook
- and all that has been done
without the help of a record
label.
In fact, the band’s management was recently called
into one of the largest music
companies in the world to
meet and discuss their future
plans. Although a record
deal might be in the cards
one day, Motion Device is
not planning on handing
over control of their little
empire.
They truly believe they can
accomplish all their musical
dreams with the support of
their fans, who happen to be
all over the globe. A recent
shipment of CD’s and merchandise was just sent out to
Argentina, Ireland, Belgium,
England, Brazil, Sweden,
Denmark, Canada and the
U.S.A.
Motion Device has built
quite a fan base with their
fair share of Youtube covers over the past few years,
but their fans have been especially impressed with the
band’s original material and
they keep asking for more.
The band receives hundreds of comments from
fans on a daily basis but
there’s one in particular that
constantly comes up: ‘Faith
in humanity restored’.
It seems people in this
world are in need of more
rock music and Motion Device is ready to give them
exactly what they need.
You can catch Motion Device performing at Stewart
Maguire’s Landing on Saturday, January 31st.

Chats’ Walk for
Wellness: Feb. 8th
CHATS – Community & Home Assistance to Seniors is gearing up for its 6th Annual Walk for Wellness winter fundraiser.
This year CHATS will be hosting a one day event on Sunday,
February 8th from 8:30 – 10:30 a.m. at Upper Canada Mall in
Newmarket. With the theme of “Who are you walking for” and
participants will have the opportunity to walk 10,000 steps for
the senior in their life.
Online registration for the event is now open. Participants are
encouraged to register online and share the story of a senior in
their life. To register or to sponsor a participant, visit www.walkforwellness.ca
Funds raised through the Walk for Wellness ultimately enrich
the health and well-being of our community’s seniors and caregivers, by supporting CHATS services, such as personal care,
homemaking, transportation, Meals on Wheels, social/wellness
programs, and much more.
Launched in 1980 by a caring group of community members,
CHATS – Community & Home Assistance to Seniors is a grass
roots charity that has evolved and grown to meet the changing
needs of more than 7,000 seniors and caregivers living in York
Region and South Simcoe.

Gas station reoPens – Residents of the Tottenham community now have a choice when buying their gas in town. The
Esso station at the south end of town, previously owned by former Ward 8 Councillor Jim Stone, has reopened under new
ownership. The garage, which remained open even after the pumps closed, seems to be under new management as well, as
a new banner sign with (416) area code phone number has been erected above the station. It’s not clear whether or not the
station will remain an Esso, or if the new owner has yet to change out the old signs.
