TOP HONOURS – From left: Legacy Award winners Bob and Pat Jackson, Chamber Award
winners Bonnie and Ken Pratt, Chamber Award winners Jan and Pat Russell.
BY WENDY GABREK
The
Tottenham–Beeton
& District Chamber of
Commerce held its inaugural
Business & Community
Excellence Awards Gala on
Thursday, September 25th at
Woodington Lake Golf Club
in Tottenham.
There were many winners
that evening, all who
enjoyed an incredible meal
and great camaraderie.
Honoured guests of the
evening were Bob and Pat
Jackson, owners of the
Jackson Plaza in Beeton and
founders of the local IGA
(Foodland chain). They took
home the first ever ‘Chamber
Legacy Award’, as presented
by Chamber director, and
Ward 6 councillor, Richard
Norcross.
“Bob and Pat Jackson
opened the Tottenham IGA
40 years ago this month &
operated the business for 24
years.
The couple also built the
Beeton IGA , which opened
in January 1985.
They built Jackson Place
Plaza in 1990/91 and
completed a major expansion
to the IGA in 2001.
The Jackson’s retired from
the active franchise in 2007
but continue to operate the
Plaza.
Bob spends a few hours
each weekday looking after
the plaza and Pat gets to do
the bookwork.
Their daughter Sheri is
involved in the business,
which allows them to spend
quite a bit of time in Florida
during the winter months.
Other undertakings that
the Jackson’s have been
involved in are: the building
of the Tottenham Dairy
Queen in 1981 & later the
Tim Hortons.
Bob was a member of
the Tottenham Chamber
of
Commerce
for
approximately 20 years &
served as president for 5
years.
One of his early projects
was
the
Centennial
Celebration in 1984. The
Jacksons had a special
centennial coin produced
that was legal tender for a
time. They paid the rental
of the arena with bags of the
coins.
The Jacksons were also
involved with the Chamber
when it organized the first
Trade Fair, which was the
first of its kind north of
Toronto. It was a successful
event for several years.
Through the Chamber, the
Jacksons also partnered with
the South Simcoe Railway
Heritage Corporation in
1987. Ruth & Royce Mabee
were a driving force to get
the railway to Tottenham.
In 1988 the Chamber
organized a program when
the Olympic torch was
carried through Tottenham.
It was a great success.
Tonight, we are honouring
the Jacksons with our very
first ‘Legacy Award’ – our
top honour.
The Jacksons were selected
as the recipient of this award
for their involvement with
the Chamber and other
community
groups,
as
well as their commitment
to
volunteerism,
and
their
sponsorship
of
community events and local
organizations. The Jacksons
have promoted economic
development and improved
the lives of New Tecumseth
residents for generations,”
said Norcross.
Next to be honoured were
the Russells. Pat and Jan
(Janet) were presented with
the first ever ‘Chamber
Award’,
presented
by
Chamber
Director
and
local real estate agent, Ian
Witherspoon.
“Everyone who’s ever
had a Dairy Queen cone in
Tottenham can thank Mr.
and Mrs. Pat Russell for the
privilege.
Pat and Jan Russell built
the Dairy Queen in 1981
and joined the chamber that
same year.
Pat was President a

number of terms, and the
same could be said of all the
directors.
Jan did a number of terms
as treasurer and in those
days the Directors formed
all of the committees.
In the 20 years the
Russell’s were members
of the Chamber, they were
involved in many important
developments within the
community, including •
the purchase of Tottenham
to Beeton rail line, after
teaming up with the Ontario
Rail Foundation, following
many years attending OMB
meetings at Queens Park.
The Chamber, under Pat’s
direction, was able to receive
operating authority and
formed the South Simcoe
Rail Way • The Chamber
also had 20 yrs. of successful
Trade Fairs, which financed
the chamber in the early
years • and was also involved
with the Santa Claus Parade;
downtown
beautification;
and Bluegrass.
After years of moving
meetings from business to
business, the Tottenham–
Beeton Chamber opened
its first office and hired our
first staff during the time of
the Russell’s involvement.
This was made possible by
selling off a portion of the
rail line.
Pat Russell also served a
term as Deputy Reeve for
Tottenham; a term on the
first elected council of New
Tecumseth; and was on the
Tottenham Volunteer Fire
Dept.
Tonight, we are privileged
to honour the Russell’s
for their longevity in
business, their commitment
to the community, and
their promotion of the
economic
development
of what is now the Town
of New Tecumseth,” said
Witherspoon.
Ken and Bonnie Pratt were
next to be honored. They
also received a ‘Chamber
Award’ for their dedication
to the community.
The award was presented
by Chamber Director, and
Secretary, Jerry Switzer.
“Ken’s
earliest
involvement
with
the
Tottenham–Beeton Chamber
came while working in
the mid 70’s for Bob and
Pat Jackson at the IGA in
Tottenham...
Shortly after the IGA
opened
the
Jacksons
recognized it and through
what we now would call
networking these business
leaders developed ideas that
would not just promote their
businesses, but also draw
attention to the area.
This is where, Ken says,
his first involvement came
into action, because they had
the foresight to take these
ideas to their staff members
and get ideas flowing,
supported by the people who
would most benefit from
increased business.
Ken and Bonnie would
later take over the IGA store
(now Foodland) in Beeton –
from the Jacksons – bringing
that same commitment to
community, customers and
the staff in their store.
Ken believes that the
future of the chamber relies
on its ability to go back to
the future and once more
unite the community through
cultural events.”
Emceeing the event was

the awards was Chamber
administrator Linda Spurr.

Robin Hogel of Gold Leaf
Event Rentals was devoured
and The Tottenham Steam,
represented at the event by
Head Coach Ryan Wood
and Community Facilitator
Colleen Rideout, donated a
signed hockey stick from the
teams inaugural game.
The stick was auctioned
off and sold to local real
estate agent Rory McGlade
for $210. Proceeds from the
auction will be presented to
the Our Town Food Bank in
Tottenham this Saturday.
The proceeds from the
beautiful floral centerpieces,
donated
by
Tottenham
Foodland,
owned
by
Johanne Leduc (along with
goodie bags!) were also
raffled off at the event of the
night for $20. The additional
$160 will also be presented

Wilson enjoying job as interim leader
Dear editor:
It has been an interesting
few months. Serving my
riding and the province of
Ontario as Interim Leader of
the Official Opposition is an
absolute honour for me and
one that I can honestly say I
thoroughly enjoy.
While the PC Party has
only been placed in my
care until a new PC leader
is chosen, I feel the gravity
of the responsibility to my
constituents and Ontarians to
hold this Liberal government
to account and push for the
change Ontario needs.
As Leader, I am committed
to an Ontario where everyone
has an opportunity to work and
prosper; where government
is friends to employers and
employees, not a barrier to
successful businesses; and,
most importantly, an Ontario
where you can be confident
that the frontline services you
rely on are always there for
you.
These are essential elements
for the success of our
province, as is strengthening
friendly partnerships with
the many groups and
organizations across Ontario
that are motivated to make our
province the best place to live
and work.
It’s been a busy few months
for me. I’ve been surprised by
the amount of administrative
work that comes with the
position. Letters, emails,
time spent working with
the PC Party Executive and
Fund. A big part of my job is
building on and maintaining
relationships. Relations with
supporters, non-supporters,
the media, stakeholders –all
are vital to the success of our
party and democratic process.
I’ve also been pleasantly
surprised with a multitude
of cultural events that I
get invited to. I was happy
to recently attend the
Roncesvalles Polish Festival
and Bloor West Ukrainian
Festival. I was pleased to tour
and attend the grand opening
of the new Aga Khan Museum.
I attended flag raising
ceremonies commemorating
the Independence of both
Macedonia and the Republic
of Moldova.
Likewise, I was also happy
to attend the Association
of Municipalities Annual
Conference where I heard
from municipal leaders about
the ongoing challenges they
face. One of the biggest
problems expressed is the
Wynne government’s decision
to eliminate the policing
Dear editor:
As world leaders gathered
at the recent United Nations
Climate Summit, one absence
was especially galling: Prime
Minister Stephen Harper.
Despite being in New York
when the summit was held,
Stephen Harper was one
the very few world leaders
invited who refused to attend.
It underscored how little
environmental
stewardship
factors into his government’s
agenda.
His
Conservative
government has failed to
advance strong environmental
policy—including transparent
oversight, tougher penalties and
a price on carbon pollution—
and this inaction has had
serious consequences for our
environment, our international
reputation and our economy.
Our
greenhouse
gas
emissions are growing, not
slowing. Canada will miss
its agreed-to 2020 emission
reduction targets. Canada
has earned an unfortunate
international reputation for
inaction and obstruction on
climate change.
It’s all par for the course under
Mr. Harper, who manages to
go to the Arctic every summer
without ever uttering the phrase
“climate
change”—despite
that being where its effects are
most abundantly clear. Since
2008, his government has
been promising regulations
for industrial emissions—
and we’re still waiting. Even
American President Barrack
Obama has said that Canada
could be doing more, and
that his concern impacts the
decision on the Keystone XL
pipeline.
Climate change is a global
problem that requires a global
solution. We need determined
leadership to make progress,
but that can’t happen if our
Prime Minister can’t even be
bothered to show up.
As well, if Canada does not
demonstrate to the world that
we as a country are serious
about GHG emissions, we will
find it harder and harder to
export our resources to global
markets. That is why Liberals
are committed to responsible
resource development, while
promoting clean energy and
reducing carbon emissions.
As Prime Minister, Mr.
Harper continues to get the big
things wrong. After nearly a
decade in power he has failed
to take any meaningful action
on Canada’s GHG emissions.
His legacy will leave our
children with an environment
that is ever more threatened.

much as half of their budgets
on emergency services.
I also recently attended the
International Plowing Match
and Rural Expo, which we
were lucky to host in Simcoe
County this year. We all know
the barriers this government
has created in agriculture.
High taxes, sky-rocketing
energy rates and needless
red tape are all stifling this
industry.
One of my chief concerns
across the board continues
to be province’s spiraling
debt. On September 22nd the
government’s public accounts
confirmed increasing deficits
and spending, which goes
against even the most basic
economic principles of how to
balance a budget.
Ontario’s deficit is up
from $9.2 billion in 2012-13
to $10.5 billion in 2013-14
and is forecast to rise even
further to $12.5 billion this
fiscal year. At the same time
the government continues to
spend. Spending is up $3.9
billion and has increased in
16 different ministries. The
Liberals say they don’t want
to borrow from reserves to
cover operating costs, yet
they continue to do so. It’s
yet another example of this
government saying one thing
while doing the opposite.
Overall, I can honestly
say that I am humbled to be
serving as Interim Leader of
the Ontario PC Party. For me,
it’s not just about building our
party to win the next election;
it’s about winning so we
can bring in the change our
province needs and deserves.
This is what I will be working
toward in the months ahead.

MPP for Simcoe-Grey

Utilizing
proper
controls will ensure that
environmental & growth
concerns are taken care of.
C. What is your vision
for the future of New
Tecumseth? How do you
intend on being a part of
that?
Maintain “small town
Ontario”,
providing
a
conduit and a voice for the
publics representation in
council.
D. As you know, you get
just one of 10 possible votes
on every issue presented to
council for consideration.
How will you work with
other councillors and the
mayor and deputy mayor
to see that results are
achieved and that council
runs smoothly?
The 5 P’s. Proper Planning
Prevents Poor Performance.
Assuming that the existing
councillors
have
some
semblance of common
sense, then new ideas could
be agreed to reasonably.
E. Where do you stand
on the following:
i.
The
amount
of
funding
dedicated
to
maintaining and developing
infrastructure (specifically
roads)
ii. The development of
further programs to keep
store fronts bright
iii.
The
individual
identities of the three
communities that makeup the Municipality of
New Tecumseth (Alliston,
Beeton, Tottenham)
iv. The need for a
public indoor pool in New
Tecumseth, and where
v. The use of consultants
versus employing in-house
talent
vi. The budget for Parks,
Recreation & Culture
vii. The employment of
full-time firefighters
iix. The division of
approved grant monies to
local organizations and notfor-profits
i. A new road assessment
has to be done to set up a
base line to build a plan to
move forward.
ii. Depending on available
funding the CIP (Community
Improvement
Program)
should be maintained, but
its coverage area could be
re-examined to cover areas
outside of the 3 core centers.
iii: The unique identities
of the 2 hamlets (Beeton/
Tottenham) should be fought
for and maintained.
iv: There is a concerted
effort to build a community
centre in Beeton. As the
New Tecumseth Rec Centre
(NTRC) supports skating
based sports, then the
proposed Beeton Rec Centre
could support aquatics and
additional fitness facilities
could be expanded to catch
the overflow from the
NTRC.
v: Consultants can be
used for specialized services
and in house staff for base
services.
vi: Needs to be completely
reviewed. The budget for
parks and rec needs to
be totally reviewed and
scrutinized.
vii: I am in agreement of
hiring full time fire fighters,
however,
budgets
will
ultimately be the trigger
point to where it could be
implemented.
iix.: This is one of the hard
choices that I spoke about in
my bio. If budget funding
is available, then each
request will be evaluated
and whatever funding if
available can be allocated.
F. As a resident of New
Tecumseth, where did the
previous term of council go
wrong? What did they get
right?
Wrong: The previous
council overspent and under
thought. They had 1 bucket
of money and spent many.
Right: The council decided
to do repairs on the Townline
road, after I initiated legal
action.
G. Please choose one –
What is the biggest issue in
the upcoming election:
a.
Roads
and
infrastructure
b. Development and
environmental preservation
c. Balanced budget and
service levels
d. Affordable housing and
cost of living
e. Job creation and
taxation levels
These are all very
important issues and there is
no one more important than
the other. Therefore, will
prioritize the list.
Road and infrastructure
Balanced budget and
service levels
Development
and
Affordable housing and
cost of living
Job creation and taxation
levels (Tax levels go with

Tecumseth?
A town with strategically
controlled growth, solid
realistic future planning and
an effective management
structure that pursues cost
effective operations.
How do you intend on
being a part of that?
By being a part of a council
that is will to analyze all
options available, promotes
detailed investigation prior
to decision making, and
seeks out input from staff
and residents to ensure the
correct decision is made the
first time.
D. As you know,you get
other councilors and the
runs smoothly?
Through
clearly
understanding the issues
and exploring all options
available, consensus within
the new council should be
achievable with everyone
working towards the same
goal.
E. Where do you stand on
the following:
i. The amount of funding
dedicated to maintaining and
developing
infrastructure
(specifically roads)
store fronts bright
iii.
The
individual
communities that make-up
the Municipality of New
Tecumseth (Alliston, Beeton,
Tottenham)
iv. The need for a
talent
i. The cost of infrastructure
both
development
and
maintaining
has
been
increasing at a rapid rate, and
will most certainly continue
to do so. With this the current
7.8m (32%)allocated will
not support the town’s needs
under the current spending
practices. Cost reductions
in capital projects and other
(none tax) revenue streams
need to be explored to
prevent additional burden on
the rate payers.
ii. The downtown core’s
are vital to all communities;
the town needs to work
with all business owners to
provide reasonable support
for enhancing the entire
downtown core.
iii. Each community has
its unique characteristic that
need to be supported and
maintained, while working
with both rural and urban
areas to create a unified
image for the sustainability
of the municipality of New
Tecumseth.
iv. Although the request/
need for an indoor pool is
a popular item, simply the
town’s current debt load vs
tax base does not support
building an indoor pool at
this time. Solid financial
management of the town’s
operation is required to make
an indoor pool a realistic
addition to the services the
town can provide. Future
growth would play a role in
deciding the best location to
build this facility.
v. The development of
in-house talent is the best
way for the town to secure
consistent support for the
towns needs and to make
New Tecumseth a great place
to work. At the same time
we need to ensure our in
house staff are meeting the
performance expectation that
equates to value to the rate
payers for the compensation
they receive.

vi. The 3.5m (14.3%)
currently spent in this area
is enough, the focus needs
to be getting increased value
for this money and evaluate
where we can expand
services in the most cost
effective manner.
vii. Full time firefighters
will be something the town
will eventually grow into.
Currently the dedication
and professionalism shown
by our volunteer men and
women is something we all
should be proud of. This
cost effective service must
be supported and maintained
for as long as it proves to be
effective.

Name: Glen Murray
Wiley
Town of residence: Town
of New Tecumseth
Ward 7
Family: My wife Sharon,
my son Jim is a home builder/
renovator in Everett/ Alliston
area, my daughters Sheri and
Cindy both work in Alliston.
I also have 7 grandchildren.
Motto: My motto is look
after the nickels and dimes,
and the dollars will look after
themselves, and an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound
of cure.
Reason you are running:
I have lived in the southern
part of New Tecumseth for
57 years. It’s been a great
place to grow up, raise a
family and work, but things
have changed in the last few
years. I have friends and
neighbours that complain
that we’ve been forgotten
down here, and get very
little for our tax dollars. I
entered the race to get Ward
7 acknowledged, and to have
a say in how our tax dollars
are spent.
constituents?
I see our roads as main
concern in Ward 7. I also
see taxes as a major concern.
Ward 7 is the forgotten ward.
We pay taxes every year and
our voices should be heard
about how the Township is
run.
and
specifically
that
with
environmental
protection
while
still
I feel that firstly, we have
to attract new business with
little or no impact on the
environment, our water and
air quality. We have to keep
the tax rates low for both
businesses and residents
and in return, you will have
growth. New Tecumseth is a
beautiful area, and we need
growth that will complement
our area,
that?
I want New Tecumseth to
be a place that is affordable
to live and work in. I want to
work at getting all 8 wards to
work together as a team to
make this happen.
runs smoothly?
I believe that council
should all be working for a
common goal, and that is the
smooth operation of New
Tecumseth. This has nothing
to do with personal gain, so
everybody has to give a little
to solve issues.
E. Where do you stand on
the following:
i. The amount of funding
dedicated to maintaining and
developing infrastructure
(specifically roads)
store fronts bright
iii.
The
individual
Beeton, Tottenham)
iv. The need for a
talent
i. I believe the funding
to maintain and develop
infrastructure is adequate.
ii. I think the store front
programs are adequate at this
point in time, but it should be
noted
1. Store fronts would be
eligible for a one time only
makeover grant.
2. The makeover must
follow the guidelines set
out by the town Business
Association and council
or risk having the grant
revoked.
iii. I think the 3 towns
should be run under the
Municipality
of
New
Tecumseth except for their
identity events, i.e. Alliston
Potato Festival, Beeton
Honey Fest, Tottenham
Community week etc.
iv. I don’t think we need
a public pool at this point
in time, there are more
important places to spend
money. {Paying down the
debt) With future growth, it
would be a great idea.
v.
I
believe
using
consultants is the better
way because they bring
fresh ideas. Working with
consultants that have worked
with other municipalities can
give you a better idea of what
to expect when approaching
different projects, i.e. Roads,
water, growth. In-house
talent is long term and can
get expensive if they only
specialize in one area. How
many employees are required
to get all of the specialty
advice council needs to run
this municipality?
vi. I think the budget for
Parks and recreation is quite
adequate. The funds should
be applied where they are
needed most – not just
divided equally.
vii. I don’t see any
advantage to hiring fulltime fighters. The volunteer
system works very efficiently
– their response time and
ability to handle any situation
that arises is excellent. I have
not heard a bad word about
volunteer fire fighters.
iix. The division of grant
monies to local organizations
should be made by Council,
as a whole.
right?
Since I wasn’t involved
in council for the last 4
years, it’s hard for me to
see the big picture. I am
sure there was countless
projects started, finished and
political decisions made, but
that’s why council is there
to do what the voters want.
I believe they should have
paid more attention to the
debt that was being created.
They could have listened to
all wards, not just the urban
core.
a. Roads and infrastructure
b.
Development
and
service levels
cost of living
e. Job creation and
taxation levels
I believe that a balanced
budget and service levels is
the biggest issue.

Taxes, debt and growth are
the main issues facing the
Town. At the present time
New
Tecumseth
is
going
through a period of rapid
growth which produces
pressure both on taxes and
debt. It is vitally important
that we control our costs.
We need to maximize
the use of our resources
(count the trucks), look at
everything we do – from
fixing potholes to building
sewage plants and improve
our performance. That is the
best way to control taxes and
debt.

The

Beeton, Tottenham)
iv. The need for a
talent
i. We are spending about
a million dollars a year on
roads. Unfortunately that
amount needs to increase
because we are falling behind
and equally unfortunately
we will have to continue to
borrow money or raise taxes
to keep the roads in shape.
ii. We have had good
success investing in our
downtowns.
I
would
keep the programs going
and listen to the needs of
business. Commercial taxes
subsidize residential taxes,
empty stores don’t. We
need to keep the downtowns
attractive and busy.
iii. We have to listen to
each community’s residents
desires and accommodate
them as much as possible.
We
should
encourage
local community-building
activities.
iv. People want a pool and
I believe there is a need for
one. Preliminary planning is
scheduled to begin in 2015.
We will then have to obtain
financing which I think will
have to include help from
the Provincial and Federal
governments. I have no
preconceived notions about
where the pool should be
built except that the location
should be based on facts not
local politics.
v. We need consultants
for
some
complicated
projects like designing the
sewage plant where we
don’t have qualified staff.
Much of the time they add
unnecessary expense. The
only consultants we need for
Beeton’s traffic problems are
the residents of Beeton.
Recreation and Culture is
growing too fast. We need
to start reining in costs..
The maintenance of all
Town buildings should be
a separate sub-department.
Some functions such as
field maintenance and grass
cutting could be performed
more cheaply by local
landscapers.

to the Public.

Development
and
environmental preservation.
There is going to be
incredible pressure on the
Town to grow to become
another Barrie or Milton.
We have to preserve what
we have and keep in mind
that development costs the
Town money and drives up
taxes. We have to say “No”
to development which might
hurt our environment.
H. If elected, you are
automatically appointed
as a county councillor.
How will you represent the
interests of the residents
of New Tecumseth at the
county level?
I would be an active
presence at the County
and make good use of my
connections across the
County. The County has
many powers (especially
planning) that affect us. I
would be there to explain
to
councillors
from
other municipalities how
proposals would affect
New Tecumseth
and
fight for what is in the best
interests of New Tecumseth.
I. Are you for, or against, a
Regional Council and why?
I don’t believe in regional
government. Many of the
powers that a regional
government would have
are already usurped by
the County. It is better to
have County Councillors
who are representing New
Tecumseth than councillors
who have no connection to
Town Council.
J. How do you plan
to work with town staff
and council members to
achieve results for this
municipality?
I intend to continue to
be the voice of reason on
Council, to be level-headed
and to use common sense
and intelligence. Do that and
results follow. I have always
worked well with Town staff
and will continue to do so. I
am committed to doing my
utmost for the Town of New
Tecumseth.

Pharmacist aims to reach thousands with new diabetes guidebook
By BrOck Weir
As a pharmacist for more
than 20 years, Dr. Lori
MacCallum has found few
things more rewarding that
one-on-one interactions with
patients.
Sitting down with an
individual to help them on
what can often be a complex
path to health brings a
certain satisfaction, but Dr.
MacCallum has been slightly
removed from that in recent
years.
Over the past 12 months, the
Aurora pharmacist, a program
director at the Banting &
Best Diabetes Centre at the
University of Toronto, has
been making up for lost time
– going deep “in the trenches”
to have a direct impact on
thousands of patients across
the country struggling with
diabetes and the treatment that
often go with it.
“I am overjoyed because you
work on this for over a year,
you are into the little details of
every little line, and it is hard
to make something simple,”
she explains. “For a year, I
have just been in the trenches
with many other contributors
and it becomes almost like
your baby. You are putting it
out in the world and you don’t
know what the response is
going to be.”
The baby? The Guidebook
for Pharmacists on Diabetes
Management.
The Guidebook, which
brings together expertise and
case studies from leading
people in the diabetes
field, was spearheaded by
Dr. MacCallum to help
pharmacists,
particularly
community pharmacists, in the
direct role they play in their
patients’ health.
“A pharmacist has a huge role
to play in the management of
diabetes,” says Dr. MacCallum.
“They are frontline healthcare
providers and people with
diabetes will see a pharmacist
more often than any other
healthcare provider. We saw
a real opportunity that way to
support people with diabetes
and give them the knowledge
and
the
confidence
of
pharmacists in managing and
caring for people and working
with patients.”
Patients with the disease
can often be on complex
combinations of medications
and battling other health issues
that can add to the complexity,
so the book is intended to be a
resource pharmacists can have
at their fingertips when they
sit down with patients to help
them manage.
It covers everything from
managing high blood sugar and
blood pressure, to counselling
and diet and exercise.
In researching the book
with fellow pharmacists from
across Canada, Dr. MacCallum
said they found over 85 per
cent of people with diabetes
are on more than just one
medication, but over 50 per
cent of these people don’t take
their medications properly.
They set a threefold goal with
the book: to help the individual
pharmacist, provide a business
model for a community
pharmacy in providing that
all-important
one-on-one
interaction with a patient,
and suggested improvements
healthcare systems across the
board.
“A community pharmacist
needs to know so many
medications,
numerous
diseases, almost like a family
doctor,” she says.
This week, 4,500 books
are en-route to community
pharmacists across Canada.
In a grassroots effort to
create strong bonds between
this nation-wide group of
pharmacists, they are also
launching an online network
to share these resources at
doabetespharmacistsnetwork.
cato build on this model.
Once the network is fully
off the ground, stories can
be shared on how tips in the
guidebook have had an impact
on patients, share ideas and
best practices, and develop
further programs based on that.
Many
community
pharmacists in places like
Aurora, King, and elsewhere
don’t have the “luxury” of
leaving their practices for
extended periods of time to
attend academic roundtables
at various hospitals, so this is
a way to further that education
and expertise, she says.
Dr. MacCallum, a Nova
Scotia native, began studying
pharmacy in Toronto in 1998,
prompted by her mother who
said “pharmacy is a good job
for a woman.” Years later,
she says with a laugh that she
still doesn’t quite understand
what her mom meant with that
remark – but chalks it up to
pure pragmatism.
Evidently, however, her
mom hit on something and
it has been a passion for her
daughter ever since.
Delving deeper in to the
area of study, Dr. MacCallum
said she was struck by just
how diverse a field it was, and
eventually gravitated towards
nephrology and eventually to
diabetes research.
“Now that the book is out
there, the most rewarding
thing for me will be if I am
walking in Metro, doing my
grocery shopping, and I see a
pharmacist sitting down with
a patient using the book,” she
says. “They don’t have to see
me, they don’t have to know
who I am, but if I saw that
I would be over the moon
because I know it is making
a difference for the individual
patients.
“In my past work at St.
Mike’s, I was in a clinic dealing
with patients very often and it
is extremely rewarding to sit
down with them and know
you have made a difference
and feel good about it. Now,
I am helping thousands of
pharmacists do that for their
patients.”

2014 Municipal Election
– keeping you with The Times
store fronts bright
iii.
The
individual
Beeton, Tottenham)
iv. The need for a
talent
full-time firefighters
local organizations and notfor-profits
i. I strongly believe that
increased funding must be
dedicated to maintain and
developing
infrastructure
especially
roads.
Our
current infrastructure is
deteriorating and must be
maintained and/or replaced.
However, the municipal
taxpayers cannot be expected
to bear the full brunt of
these costs. Provincial and
Federal governments must
contribute financially to
these projects and I am
prepared to lobby them for
financial assistance.
ii. The current, Town
funded
Community
Improvement Program (CIP)
should be continued to assist
owners in financing repairs
and upgrades to business
store fronts. Viable and
attractive downtowns are
very important to the Town.
The red tape associated
with the CIP needs to be
minimized.
iii. I believe that council
needs to remain cognizant
of where the majority of
the Town’s future growth
will occur while at the same
time recognizing that all 3
communities make up one
Town.
iv. The majority of my
constituents would like a
local municipally owned
indoor swimming pool.
The pool should be located
in conjunction with the
New Tecumseth Recreation
Centre (NTRC) in Alliston
as this facility when built
was designed to eventually
accommodate it. The pool
must be located in Alliston
where the majority of the
population is now and will
always be located. The 5 year
Town capital budget forecast
indicates an indoor pool
feasibility study and design
to be undertaken in 2015
with construction (funded
90%
by
development
charges) the following year.
I will support the analysis
of the need and the capital
and operating costs of such
a project to commence in
2015.
must be kept to a minimum.
The Town’s Department
Heads (Directors) are highly
trained and skilled in their
fields of expertise. Town staff
should be able to prepare the
majority of studies/analyses
required by Council for them
to make educated decisions.
Consultants will be required
for specialized services (e.g.
developmental
charges,
auditing, etc) when required
by law or to supplement our
staffs’ expertise.
vi. The current budget for
Parks, Recreation & Culture
has increased significantly as
new programs and facilities
have been put in place. It is
imperative that the usage of
our recreation facilities be
marketed to their fullest and
revenues from these facilities
maximized.
Furthermore,
I will be advocating for
an
operational/efficiency
review of not only this
department but of all Town
departments to ensure that
they are operating efficiently
and with the required level
of staffing, etc. This will
then minimize the tax
dollars required to maintain
and operate all Town
departments.
vii. The Town currently
has 3 full-time firefighters (a
Chief and 2 Deputy Chiefs).
The balance of the firefighters
are volunteers (part-time
paid employees). The use
of the volunteer firefighters
should be maintained as
long as possible provided
we can maintain an adequate
and the required level of
service. The cost of full-time
firefighters is very expensive
and would result in a major
tax increase.
iix. The current program
for the division of approved
grant monies to local
organizations and not-forprofits needs to be reviewed
in its entirety by the new
Council.
right?
As a resident of New
Tecumseth, it is my opinion
that the previous Council
made 3 mistakes. Firstly, by
deferring the collection of
hard development charges
(for water, sewer and
roads) from the time of the
execution of the subdivision
agreement to the issuance
of each building permit.
Secondly, the issuing of
long-term debt for a new
fire truck after I explained
how the truck could be paid
for without the issuance of
long-term debt. Thirdly,
the lack of an adequate
and detailed review of the
operational budgets of all
Town departments including
Council established budget
goals. On all of these issues,
I took a very strong position;
however, was out voted
by the majority of Council
members.
Notwithstanding
the
above, the current council
did accomplish several
things including increased
funding for road repair/
replacement and expansion
of
several
recreational
facilities.
a.
Roads
and
infrastructure
b. Development and
service levels
cost of living
e. Job creation and
taxation levels
The biggest issue in my
opinion in the upcoming
election is: “c, Balanced
budget and service levels”
During my past 4 years
on Council and during my
campaigning for re-election,
this issue is most often
mentioned by the residents
of our Town. A recent local
survey also indicated this
as the major election issue.
I will be advocating for
an
operational/efficiency
review
of
all
Town
departments to assist in
accomplishing this goal.

Motto: “Rooted in the

this race: To make a positive
Difference! Our ‘little’ town
is an area destine to expand.
It is an area that is going to
see tremendous growth over
the next 20–30 years whether
we want it to or not. We need
a strategic plan to facilitate
this and we need leadership
who can see us through this
exciting time and I believe
I can bring experience and
knowledge to the table to
help facilitate this.
constituents?
There are quite a few
main points of concern…
One being our roads; I know
under the present model,
our roads are going to suffer
with our current budget
of one million dollars per
year. We will see our roads
deteriorate at an alarming
rate. We as a council need to
recognize and strategically
plan how we can become
financially responsible, yet
still rejuvenate the roads and
build an infrastructure to
accommodate the growth in
the years to come.
Secondly, we are going
to be seeing increasing
pressure to form a full time
fire department. This is
already becoming an issue
in neighbouring towns and
needs to be addressed to
protect our residents. We
again need a plan on how
to accommodate and avoid
what some are calculating
as a 20 percent increase in
taxes.
Thirdly, our youth. We
need to adapt and change to
meet their needs. They are
looking for more than just
hockey and soccer to occupy
their spare time (although
I must admit I am an avid
soccer and hockey parent
and fan) not all of our youth
have the same interests.
We need more of an arts
presence in both drama
and visual arts. We also
are desperately in need of
desirable basketball courts,
permanent skate parks and
an indoor pool facility.
Lastly, there is huge
pressure for openness and
transparency, I completely
agree….but there are rules as
well that need to be followed
under the Municipal Act.
I am all for full disclosure
where permitted. The in
camera sessions at council
seem to be a regular practise,
and I will work towards
keeping the public and the
people I represent fully
aware of what is going on.
and
specifically
that
with
environmental
protection
while
still
I believe the areas in need
of being protected have
already been recognized,
and our main focus needs
to be on the infrastructure
and
promoting
New
Tecumseth as a opportunity
for new businesses to launch
successfully and that we
have educated qualified local
people that seek to work here
rather than commute. We
cannot lose our downtowns
but rather grow them with
unique businesses and small
town feeling that bring our
residents to shop locally.
runs smoothly?
As someone who has
built a successful career on
listening, negotiating and
balancing many different
personalities at one time
all to come to a successful
resolution, I believe I
have the ability to lead
and negotiate by working
together with a council that
has been chosen by this
community. My personality
is not “conflict’ oriented,
but rather I look towards an
end result that benefits the
majority.
on the following:
i.
The
amount
of
funding
dedicated
to
roads)
store fronts bright
iii.
The
individual
Beeton, Tottenham)
iv. The need for a
talent
i. I believe we are not
working very well in this
area, our roads are terrible
and we need to look at
strategically recognizing the
roads for replacement and or
refurbishing and we need to
look to our government for
financial assistance in doing
so. This will be a huge under
taking but one that needs to
be at the top of the list for
improvement.
ii. Our downtowns are the
hearts of our communities.
We need to support the
physical appearance of
our empty store fronts and
vacant lots… we need to
look at subsidies offered
for the beautification of
our down towns as well as
bring a consistency in its
appearances. The people
have always supported the
events in our downtown
cores and we need to find
ways to offer more. Ie
weekend farmers markets
festivals
and
seasonal
promotions.
iii. We need to work on
amalgamating the identities.
Whats fair for one needs to
be fair/equal for the others.
iv. I am a huge supporter
for an indoor facility. My
only concern would be
location that will promote
the highest use and help
off set what will be a large
under taking financially. If
were are looking at a central
location than we need to
have a viable transportation
system. Otherwise it will
have to go where the
numbers support it.
v. So this is a very
frustrating
financial
implication.
Consultants
don’t need to be a ‘turn to’
answer for differing to a
time down the road. The
people want answers if we

Present
council
did
adapt and modify to being
recognized
provincially
as a growth node and did
take necessary steps to
identify areas for growth.
On the opposite end I
believe they have created
a great deal of ‘untrust’ by
the people as far as being
open and transparent. The
‘incamera sessions’ at length
have caused the people to
question what is going on
and whether the council
had the best intentions for
the town and its people.
The new council has to find
away to communicate better
with the different medias
and offer disclosure of what
is taking place ‘behind’
the scenes. Whether its by
blacking out names in its
media reports to protect
identities, or whether it’s a
matter of simply disclosing
it’s a matter under protection
by the Municipal Act. Also,
we need to find a way to
say “ if employees are not
allowed to run for council,
than councillors have to
be given the same rules of
not doing business with the
town.”

b. Development and

e. Job creation and

All five examples are key
to this election but for me

Balanced budget and service
levels and finding the happy
medium.

The main points of concern
based on comments from
knocking on doors and
talking to people are as
follows. Ward 3 is a mix of
the original Alliston and
the very new Alliston and
the concerns raised reflect
that. The town debt and
the inability of the existing
council to manage and control
the developers, the dwindling
down of the town reserves
and the condition of the
roads are consistently issues
that are raised. In addition
the speed on roads such as
Gray, Shephard, and John W
Taylor Ave. are a big concern
to residents. The biggest
concern raised throughout the
ward is that nobody has ever
been to their door before in
a municipal election and for
those residents that have tried
to get things accomplished

their

NEW TECUMSETH TIMES
Hornets take a bite out
of the Terriers
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Alliston Junior C Hornets wasted no time in taking
control of Friday (Sept. 26) night’s game against the Orillia
Terriers at the New Tecumseth Recreation Complex.
Leading 2–0 at the end of the first period on goals from
Mark O’Donnell and Matt Cochrane, the Alliston squad
took it up a notch in the second frame with a powerplay
effort by Jacob Tuck and a shorthanded goal from Payton
Dunlop.
Orillia scored a single early in the second period to make
it a 4–1 game going into the final 20 minutes.
The Terriers scored their second goal early in the third
period on a shot from the left side that hit Alliston goal
tender Tyler Brindle’s pads then trickled between the pads
and across the goal line.
O’Donnell scored his second of the night when he found
himself on a break away coming in from the right side to
make the deke and score.
“I came from the right, and faked a shot, there was a bit
of pressure on me, I sneaked it under his arm and lucky for
me it trickled in,” O’Donnell said about the team’s fifth
goal of the night.
The Hornets didn’t spend a lot of time in their own end
in this game and by the third period the Terriers seemed to
be wearing down.
“The first period we came out a little slow but we seemed
to get it going in the second and third and kind of brought
it to them from there,” O’Donnell said. “We were going for
goals – our defence stepped up a lot which helped us get
those goals. They did catch us a couple times but we had
our goalie (Brindle) there to save it. We were putting a lot
of bodies on them, the team was already tired so we tried
to stick to that game plan and its seemed to work tonight.”
It was win number three for the Hornets after four games
into the season giving them a second place standing in the
GMOHL with six points – four points behind the leading
Penetang Kings who are undefeated so far.
It’s still too early in the season to figure out who the front
runners will be this year and we’re about another month
off to see how things will start shaping up.
The Hornets will be in Stayner tonight (Oct. 2) to take on
the Siskins. They return to home ice on Friday, October 3,
to host the Midland Flyers. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Some of the most
important qualities of a
councillor are his/her ability
to build consensus amongst
your peers as well as
understanding that listening
is as or more important than
talking. This is established
through

with
fellow
members
of council. In addition
hardwork and dedication
are required to see that
solutions are achieved in the
best interests of the common
good and not the individual

satisfactory at this point.
full-time firefighters is not
a question of approval or
disapproval but more a
question of necessity. If the
demand for fire services
reaches the point where we
require full-time firefighters
then the answer seems
straightforward.
iix. Through the existing
grant process there should
be caps placed on how much
an individual organization
can receive. Larger projects
that have a good business
case for the ratepayers of
New Tecumseth should be
looked at on a case by case
basis.
right?
The previous term of
council primarily went
wrong by not negotiating the
best deal with developers
and saddling the taxpayers
with unnecessary risk and
debt. In addition the town
has been using reserves to
minimize the impact on
taxation. This shortsighted
strategy is wrong and must
be changed.

New Tecumseth is the

either a modified County

Low cost
rabies clinics
offered at local
vet offices
BY WENDY GABREK
Local veterinarians are
offering their annual lowcost rabies vaccine clinics
for dogs and cats over three
months old. It is mandatory
for all dogs and cats to be
vaccinated for protection
against rabies. Pet owners
who fail to comply risk
receiving a fine.
“The clinics helped
protect more than 4,000 pets
against rabies last year,”
says Ryan MacDougall,
the manager of the rabies
program with the Simcoe
Muskoka District Health
Unit. “We are grateful to
the veterinarians who have
taken the effort to bring
these clinics to the public.”

recipient of the 2014 Dr.
Alexander
MacIntyre
Award of Excellence at a
presentation ceremony at the
Gibson Centre in Alliston on
September 25.
The Alliston and Area
Physician
Recruitment
Committee
presents
the award annually to
a local physician who
has distinguished him/
herself in the community
and in medicine, through
dedication and excellence.
Jansen
started
as
Hospitalist at Stevenson
Memorial Hospital four
years ago, and has served as
Chief of Family Medicine
since June, 2011. She was
nominated for the MacIntyre
award because of her
outstanding
contributions
to improving the in-patient
care experience at Stevenson
Memorial Hospital through
her high standards of quality
care, patient safety and
efficiency.
“Dr. Jansen has brought
many innovative ideas to the
Medical/Surgical unit and,
as a result of her leadership,
residents
and
medical
students are now requesting
to do rotations within the
Stevenson
Hospitalist
program,” said Shannon
Landry, Vice President and
Chief Nursing Officer.
Dr. Jansen is well known
for taking an active role
within the hospital and the
community, always going
above and beyond what is
expected of her to ensure
every patient receives the
quality care they deserve.
Her hard work and
dedication have made a
great difference within not
only the Medical Surgical
unit, but also the hospital as
a whole.
She is highly respected
by her peers; showing a
willingness to listen to staff
concerns and suggestions for
improvement; and valued
by her patients and their
families, which is showed
by the many thank you cards
displayed within the unit.
“Dr.
Jansen
is
an
invaluable
member
of
Stevenson
Memorial
Hospital and we are very
thankful for her continued
commitment and excellent
service she provides to her
patients and their families,”
Landry concluded.

Benefit for Elijah raises $3,500
bY WEnDY GabREK
On Saturday, September
28th, a ‘Benefit Concert for
Elijah’ was held at the Royal
Canadian Legion branch in
Tottenham.
The beneficiary, Elijah
Knauer, was born with
Eagle-Barrett
Syndrome
or prune belly syndrome.
He has been in and out of
hospital for most of his 40
years and been perilously
close to death a number of
times over the last couple of
years.
“Elijah’s parents, John
and Sharon Knauer want
their son home,” said benefit
concert organizer, Nick
Dougherty. “Their house
is being outfitted with the
bed, lifts, elevator and
other equipment he needs.
They have gone through
extensive training to provide
the care Elijah needs. John’s
insurance does not cover the
equipped-van they need to
transport Elijah for frequent
treatments
at
Toronto
General Hospital. We want
to lessen the burden as
much as possible, and so the
concert was planned.”
Eight acts, featuring over
30 great musicians, played a
variety of music from classic
rock to country to folk to
blues and everything in
between during the six hour
event.
Tickets were $15, in
advance or $20 at the door,
and the event raised more
than $3,500 for Elijah and
his parents.
Musical
presenters
included: Steve Nason
& Co.; Tom & Cathryn;
Lymphomaniacs;
Jerry
Switzer Ensemble; Chris
Beteau Band; Gary Hubbard
& Fogg; Vinyl Groove;
and the headline attraction,
Willful Blues.
For community members
who missed the event and
still want to support Elijah,
donations can be made
at any TD Canada Trust
branch to the “John Knauer
in trust”; Account number:
6290989; Branch or Transit
number: 12002.
One hundred per cent of
the donations received –
both at the benefit concert
and through TD – will go
towards Elijah’s expenses.
“Thank you to everyone
who was a part of the
Benefit Concert for Elijah on
Saturday!” reads the Willful
Blues’ Facebook page. “All
the talent was amazing all

Election
sign
vandalism
on the rise
in Essa
RichaRd
BlanchaRd
Vandalism
of
election signs seems
to be plaguing all
candidates in Essa
township.
Mayor Terry Dowdall
said Monday that 20
of the signs that he
had placed throughout
the
township
had
gone missing over
the weekend. Many
of them from private
properties
in
the
township.
“I don’t know who’s
doing it but it is a bit
disheartening from a
financial point of view
and from the question
of free speech,” he
said. He said that his
smaller signs cover
over $3 each plus the
time to replace them.
Some of the larger
colour signs which are
being used by some
candidates can cost as
much as $40 each.
Angus
councillor
Keith White said that a
number of his election
signs, big and small,
had gone missing
Sunday night.
“You always wonder
why someone would do
something like that but
all you can do is take
the time and money
and replace them,” he
said.
Theft or damage
of election signs are
criminal offences in
Ontario and those
removing or damaging
signs face a fine of
upwards of $5,000.
Police in Guelph and
Muskoka are currently
investigating theft of
signs in their area.
One ghoulish thief
took a sign for Dowdall
and placed it in the
pioneer cemetery at
West Essa located at
the 5th Sideroad and
2nd Line.
Meeting
Essa council has
cancelled its regular
scheduled October
15 council and
committee of the
whole meetings.
Council made the
decision to canceled
the meetings at the
last council meeting
in
September
because there was
expect to be a small
number of items to
be discussed at the
meeting.
Council will meet
this Wednesday and
then on November
5 after the municipal
election on October
27.
