eet the Hutchins Family.
After many life adventures,
they now call Hawkestone
home. Jeff and Christa Hutchins
met while attending school in
Peterborough. Jeff was training
to become a teacher and Christa
a nurse. While in Peterborough,
Jeff had the opportunity to go
to Thailand as part of a Native
Studies course. His year long photo by Keith Crozier
journey led him to Chiang Mai.
While in Chiang Mai, Jeff courageously lived high in the mountains with a Hilltribe
native group. He lived with them for five months and during his stay he had the
opportunity to teach and learn in the remote and primitive village. Imagine living
in a village with no electricity, plumbing, technology or even English speakers!
Jeff had to learn how to speak Thai quickly. After his journey with the Hilltribe,
he returned to Chiang Mai to study at the university. From there his adventure
continued which even included a 6 week motorcycle trip to Malaysia. When Jeff
returned to Canada, he and Christa moved to North Bay. Jeff attended Teacher’s

Hawkestone Women’s Institute Holds Annual Pancake Supper at Shaw’s
The Hawkestone Women’s Institute for Community Support will hold their annual fundrasing Pancake Supper on
Tuesday, February 10th at Shaw’s Pancake House - Line 14 South Oro-Medonte from 4:30pm until 7:30pm.
Admission is $7.00 for adults and $5.00 for children 10 and under. Last year’s Pancake Supper drew a crowd of
nearly 300 people with 65 attendees from our local Beaver, Cub and Scout groups and their families. The Hawkestone
Women’s Institute supports a number of organizations in Barrie and Orillia: Barrie and Orillia Hospitals, Gilda’s
House, Jubilee House, Green Haven Women’s Shelter, the Salvation Army, Food Bank,
Senior’s Wish List, Hospice Simcoe and more. Last year donations from the Branch
outfitted all volunteer firefighters at Station #2 with safety vests. They also donated to
East Oro School’s graduation and supported the Oro Agricultural Society with prize
money for the fair, while a family with a child living with cancer was given food and
gift cartds for gas. The Branch also supported a family who needed glasses for their
daughter who was born blind. These special glasses cost $10,000, but at ten years old, submitted by Joan Banbury
she was finally able to see her Mother and Father for the first time! The Hawkestone Women’s Institute also supplies
mitts and hats to local schools. The Branch’s big project is filling care bags for women and children at the Green
Haven Women’s Shelter. In four years, they have delivered 298 bags. All in all, a very active group - way to go, ladies!

HAACA President’s Message: Happy New Year!
would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year and all the best for 2015! After
a little bit of confusion on “Mother Nature’s” part over the Christmas season, it certainly appears that winter has found
us again. With all the outdoor opportunities this area has to offer, winter enthusiasts must be
delighted. For those of you who would rather participate in indoor activities, the Hawkestone
Hall is back in full swing with plenty to offer. Some of the “HAPPYNINGS” taking place
at the Hall once again are Beavers/Cubs/Scouts, NIA (fitness program), Keenagers Club,
Library, Early Years, Hawkestone Singers, Euchre, Scottish Dance and Ballroom Dance. Any
of these programs could help to keep you warm and chase away any cabin fever that may
have developed since early January. The Hawkestone And Area Community Association
(HAACA) met in January for the first meeting of 2015 and are already busy planning some
of our upcoming events including the annual Easter Egg Hunt, The Great Egg Race,
Community Breakfast and Silent Auction, and yes, even Canada Day celebrations! HAACA
HAACA President James Hamilton is always eager to welcome new faces and to hear new ideas and suggestions.There are
many opportunities to get involved, meet new friends, and help your community at the same time! Simply join us at
the Hawkestone Hall (3 Allen St.) on the first Monday of every month at 7:30 pm. Hoping that you will enjoy the rest of the
winter season and are able to participate in all that our great community has to offer. If it is of any consolation, I hear that Spring
is only about eight weeks away! For more information on activities and upcoming events visit us at www.hawkestone.net.
Help HAACA and Advertise at the Hawkestone General Store!
T
he Hawkestone General Store will continue to support HAACA by

advertisements will be prominently displayed in the store’s customer-facing
display, which is installed in front of the cash registers for customers to see.
This is a great opportunity for local business owners to grow their customer

~ Hutchins Family continued from page 1
College while Christa worked at the
North Bay Regional Health Centre.
They then moved to Collingwood
where Jeff found a teaching job and
Christa found a position in nursing.
After Jeff’s occasional position was
completed, they decided to pack their
bags. Originally they thought they
would go to Australia where both of
them could find employment. But
instead they found their way back
to Thailand! Once in Thailand, they
spent their time exploring Southeast
Asia. They embarked on a four month
journey that brought them to Vietnam,
Cambodia and Laos. Their voyage
led them to many interesting places
with amazing experiences. They
took a slow boat through Laos. They
endured a 24 hour bus ride through
North Vietnam. They marveled and
felt humbled at Angkor Wat. Along
the way, they met many interesting
peoples and were fascinated by
their cultures.
After their four
month odyssey, they headed back to
Chang Mai and continued to travel
throughout Thailand. When their
Southeast Asian journey ended they
headed back to Canada but they did
not stay still for long. Their continued
journey took them to a new place.
This new place was Fort Hope. Fort
Hope is a fly-in Ojibway community
approximately 400 km north of
Thunder Bay with a population of
about 1200. Bearskin Air is the
means in and out of town, other
than a seasonal and undependable
ice road. Jeff continued teaching
while Christa worked at the nursing
station. Because the town only had
a doctor fly in once a month, Christa
was responsible for diagnosing and
treating patients. Jogging on the
airport strip, skiing in -60 C and
Northern Lights you could actually
hear! These were some of the great
experiences they had in Fort Hope.
Their Fort Hope experience lasted
two years and ended with a return
back to Ontario. They then began
the search to look for a new place to
call home not only for them but for
their new addition to the family - a
dog named Simba who they rescued
from Fort Hope. While renting in
Barrie, Christa was able to become
part of the Emergency Department at
RVH and Jeff continued his teaching
in Simcoe. But were to live? Jeff and
Christa visited many communities in
Simcoe County. The Hutchins’ chose
Hawkestone for many reasons. They
are avid boaters and skiers. They love
to run outdoors. Even though they
looked at many other communities
they thought Hawkestone was the best
fit for their lifestyle and a great place
to raise a family. In 2006, Jeff and
Christa moved to Hawkestone. Since
then, they have been blessed with two
sons who have the same adventurous
spirits. And with the larger family
came the need for a larger home. Not
wanting to leave Hawkestone they
began an extensive home renovation.
And where did they stay while their
home was being renovated? Two
doors down at a neighbour’s cottage!
Jeff continues to teach in Barrie and
Christa splits her nursing talents
between RVH, Soldiers Memorial
in Orillia and Veterans Affairs as
well. They continue to enjoy all of
the activities our town offers. They
are surrounded by great neighbours
and friends. They see deer in the
fields and stars at night. Their boys
skate on the lake. And they are still
close to family and friends who are
in the Toronto area where Jeff and
Christa grew up. After many life
experiences and adventures, they
are happy to say they knew they
made the right decision to move to
Hawkestone and call it home.

OPP & OFSC Kick Off Provincial Snowmobile Safety Week
by Constable Graeme Knox
With
three Ontario snowmobile deaths already on record (in
OPP jurisdiction) so far this season,
drinking while snowmobiling was
one of the topics at hand as the
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and
Ontario Federation of Snowmobile
Clubs (OFSC) kicked off provincial Snowmobile Safety Week at
OPP General Headquarters today.
Following the OPP’s investigation,
alcohol was found to be involved
in all three of the fatal incidents
and was the primary cause in two
of them. Two of the three victims
were not wearing a helmet. Last
season (2013-2014), 21 people died
while snowmobiling (in OPP jurisdiction) and the OPP continues to
see recurring contributing factors.
Alcohol was involved in at least 7
of last season’s incidents and speed
was found to be the primary cause
in 11 of them. With several weeks
left in the 2015 season, the OPP is
reminding snowmobilers to take
charge of their own safety as this
is the only way to eliminate snowmobile fatalities. Do not ride if you
have consumed alcohol or drugs:
Snowmobiling under the influence
of any amount of alcohol or drugs
carries severe penalties. If convicted
of snowmobiling while impaired, a
rider could lose all driving privileges (car, truck, motorcycle, offroad vehicles and snowmobiles).
The same “Warn Range” suspensions issued for having a BAC
(Blood Alcohol Concentration)
between 0.05 and 0.08 mg. that
apply to driving a motor vehicle,
also apply to driving a snowmobile.
Take it Easy: Always ride within
the speed limit, within your own
ability and according to current
trail and weather conditions. Slow
Down at Night: Ride cautiously
at night and never outrun your sled
headlights. Know Before You Go:
No ice travel is ever completely
safe. Hypothermia or drowning
from riding into open water or
falling through the ice are serious
risks, as are collisions with fixed
objects such as docks, ice huts
or shorelines. See and Be Seen:
Good judgment, depth perception

and quick reaction time depend on
being able to see properly at all
times. Slow down and keep right
in reduced visibility situations like
snow dust, sun glare, heavy falling
snow, or when visor or glasses are
fogged up; always wear bright
colours and reflective materials so others can see you more
easily. Ride with Companions:
Never snowmobile alone. Riding
buddies can provide immediate assistance for breakdowns,
when getting stuck or in emergency situations. Be Prepared:
Snowmobiling incidents occur in
unpredictable and uncontrolled
natural settings where each rider
needs to always expect the unexpected. Snowmobiling can take
you far away from emergency
assistance, so each rider must be
prepared by carrying a tool kit,
spare parts, flashlight, first-aid kit
and survival items such as highenergy food, fire-starting equipment and a compass. Snowmobile
