Adams defends PSB, doubts
OPP option cost-effective
Written By JAMES MATTHEWS
A council motion to probe policing costs
turned into a mayoral defence of the Orangeville Police Services Board.
At Monday’s council meeting, Councillor
Scott Wilson broached the possibility of
requesting a cost analysis of Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) services within Orangeville.
Coun. Jeremy Williams asked Mayor Rob
Adams to give council a verbal report on the
Orangeville Police Services Board in light of
a recent union request to the Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) to investigate the board. Mayor Adams serves on the
OPS Board.
The Orangeville Police Association, the
union which represents OPS officers, made
a formal request to the commission last
month for a review of the board’s adequacy and effectiveness. The OCPC is a province-wide agency that aims to ensure police

Town to weigh bids to produce
medical marijuana locally
NEW YEAR’S BABY - Kirandeep Kaur Brar and father Lucky Brar welcomed the first baby of the
New Year at Headwaters Health Care Centre with the birth of their son at 12:29 a.m. on January
1. The baby weighed in at 8 pounds and 14 ounces, and went home shortly after to join his two
older brothers, Tegvir and Himmat.
forces adhere to the Police Services Act.
Coun. Williams surmised the OPP cost
analysis request was in relation to issues
between the OPS Board and the union. But
Coun. Wilson refuted any link between his
costing request and any issues between the
local police association and the board.
Concerns were discussed about points of
order regarding one councillor attributing
meaning to another councillor’s statements.
“All I asked is for the mayor to give indication things are headed in the right direction,” said Coun. Williams.
Mayor Adams has had a breadth of experience with local police service issues over
many years. He said a previous town council
on which he’d served asked for a cost analysis, and it took two years to complete, he
said.
Orangeville council will meet with town
staff to further explore medical marijuana
production possibilities in the town.
Orangeville has received several requests
from potential marijuana producers hoping
to establish a production facility in town.
But municipal zoning bylaws don’t address
the myriad of issues that come with the
commercial production and distribution of
medical marijuana.
The municipal government deferred discussion on the subject during Monday’s regular meeting. It was agreed such an issue
would be best explored when the town’s
economic development, planning and innovation staff are present.
The town’s economic development director provided council a report in December on recent Health Canada regulations
changes that affect how medical marijuana
is obtained by patients and under what conditions it will be produced in Canada. That
report was included in Monday’s council
agenda package.
Previously, Health Canada rules allowed
medical marijuana users to procure it themselves by designating someone to produce
it on their behalf or obtain it directly from
Health Canada.
Changes to the Medical Marijuana Access
System regulations now require a licensing
protocol allowing for large scale operations.
Essentially, medical marijuana will be
turned over to the private sector for production.
That means patients have to obtain their
pot only from a federally approved and regulated commercial grower, from their doctor,
or from a pharmacist.
Coun. Scott Wilson said the town should
make it as easy as possible for new industry
to set up in Orangeville.
“The requirements the town puts on this
type of production shouldn’t be any different than what we would put on a brewery or
a distillery,” he said.
Mayor Rob Adams has a different perspective: “I could think of a thousand businesses
I’d rather have come to the community,” the
mayor said.

DWP likely in commercial service within 18 months
Written By WES KELLER
Responding via email to questions about
Dufferin Wind Power’s reaction to the
Environmental Review Tribunal’s decision upholding DWP’s Renewable Energy
Approval (REA), spokeswoman Connie Roberts said, “We are pleased that the (ERT) has
dismissed the appeal against Dufferin Wind
Power’s (REA) and we look forward to placing the project into commercial service.”
She noted that the “wide-ranging and
extremely thorough appeal process took
over a half year to complete and included
a comprehensive review of the project’s
effects on human life, plant life, animal life
and the natural environment as well as a
constitutional challenge.
“Dufferin Wind was diligent in its planning, design and engineering of the wind
farm and the ERT’s decision reconfirms that
wind farms can be safely built and operated
for the benefit of the community and the
province,” Ms. Roberts said, adding that, “At
many points during the ERT proceedings
DWPI stated confidence in the thoroughness
of its studies and reports and was anticipating this positive outcome.”
Continuation of the wind farm’s site preparation and turbine base construction during
the process had raised some local eyebrows.
“A common misperception is that a wind
farm is required to wait for an appeal when
in fact, under the regulations once the project receives its (REA) it is fully approved
to start construction,” Ms. Roberts said in
response.
“The appeals against Dufferin Wind were
initiated by individuals whose commercial,
political, and personal interests differed
from the community members who founded
and worked hard to develop this wind farm
project. Dufferin Wind, along with these
community members, have respected the
permitting process and, upon receiving the
necessary municipal and provincial approvals, commenced construction.”
There had been no effort to withhold construction from the public eye. Ms. Roberts
referred to DWP’s website, www.dufferinwindpower.ca/ConstructionUpdates.aspx,
for further information.
On completion of the project, she said that
while the original deadline was Jan. 30, 2014,
DWP has 18 months beyond that date to
reach commercial operation. DWP expects
to commence commercial operations well in
advance of this date.
Although the wind farm has a final stamp
of approval subject to any appeals, there
remains a hearing on DWP’s application to
expropriate a rail corridor easement for its
230 kv power line to the Orangeville subdivision. That hearing is set for Feb. 18, Ms.
Roberts said.
She explained why the 100-megawatt
(MW) 230-kilovolt transformer is being
installed at the wind farm rather than at the
substation:
“The transformer is located at the project substation to step-up the voltage from
34.5kV to 230kV. This transformer allows
the project to efficiently transmit the wind
farm’s generated power to the Orangeville
switching station using a single, three-phase,
transmission line on a single wood pole line.
“Had the transformer been located at the
Orangeville Switching Station, more transformers, more cables, and more and larger
power poles would have been required.
Locating the transformer at the project substation instead of the Orangeville Switching
Station helped to minimize the transmission
line’s footprint and the overall impact to the
community.”
She said DWP had “continued to try and
reach an amicable agreement with the
County for the use of the former rail corridor but has been unable to do so.”
According to Ms. Roberts, as recently as

last August DWP “agreed to pay the County
its asking price for the use of the rail corridor.” She said it also offered to match that
amount by paying for trail or other community improvements plus helping with a multiuse trail study.
However, she said, “County Council
reversed their position and refused to negotiate with Dufferin Wind unless the transmission line was buried entirely underground.
The County Council also directed County
staff not to speak further with Dufferin Wind
regarding this easement and this restriction
remains in effect today.”
Ms. Roberts said DWP’s offer remains
open, and the company would prefer to
negotiate rather than to litigate. She said,
however, that the costs of burying the entire
line outside Shelburne “would be prohibitive.”
DWP is confident of success should the
hearing proceed, she said.
On health issues with respect to electromagnetic fields from power lines, Ms. Roberts suggested www.dufferinwindpower.ca/
FactsInformation/230kVPowerLine.aspx#Technical.
(There are conflicting expert opinions
on possible health effects from high voltage overhead lines, but it’s more generally
agreed that there are no such effects from
properly insulated and buried underground
high voltage lines.)
Ms. Roberts clarified the appeal period as
being 30 days after release of the decision.
Appellant Dennis Sanford had previously
said “15 days” but that had been in the context of the intervening holidays and attendant down time.
She also outlined the ways in which
that tribunal’s decision on appeals of the
approval may be appealed: “An appeal of the
Tribunal’s decision on a question of law may
be made to the Divisional Court -- filed in
accordance with the Ontario Rules of Civil
Procedure. The opportunity also exists for
judicial review of the decision by the Divi-
sional Court.”
As well, “An appeal of the Tribunal’s decision may be made in writing to the Minister
of the Environment on any matter other than
a question of law. The Minister of the Environment will then confirm, alter or revoke
the decision of the Tribunal if the Minister
considers that it is in the public interest to
do so.”

Hydro workers worked tirelessly to restore power after ice storm
In today’s society, when someone mentions a hero, we tend to think of the leading
Adams defends PSB
That costing report showed the same
price for police services as currently paid,
but with fewer OPP officers dedicated to
Orangeville. That just wasn’t good enough,
he said.
The OPP allocation consisted of a single police car in the town with additional units dispersed throughout the region.
That would have proved insufficient if
that car responded to a bar fight and, at
the same time, was needed for another situation elsewhere.
“The savings from OPP are minimal,”
the mayor said.
The mayor acknowledged that policing
costs are the largest expenditures in the
budget, and the fastest growing budgetary
expense. Ninety per cent of the costs are
salaries, Mayor Adams said.
He said the police union’s request for
an investigation into the police board’s effectiveness is nothing more than an arbitration tactic. Advising council that there
has been a dramatic increase in such aggressiveness of police associations across
Ontario, he said he welcomes any OCPS
investigation into the Orangeville police
board.
“I have no reason to believe there are
any issues,” Mayor Adams said. “There
is nothing that the board has done or the
chief has done to warrant this.”
Then later: “Get in here right now and
do your investigation. It’s an open book,
in my view.”
men and ladies of DC, Marvel and other ‘super’ stories; men and women who save the
world with fancy gadgets, strange abilities
and spandex suits.
But in reality, the real heroes are the men
and women who complete every day feats to
ensure their fellow residents can continue
being safe, healthy and comfortable.
This Christmas, those heroes were the
local workers from Hydro One and Orangeville Hydro, who worked tirelessly leading
up to the holidays to get everyone’s power
back on.
“It was cold and there was lots of ice and
slippery conditions, which made it difficult
to get around in vehicles and get to the lines
to repair them,” explained Bob Noble, Manager of Operations at Orangeville Hydro.
“There was a lot of tree damage. It was a lot
of heavy lifting and cutting of branches and
trees to try and get wire put back up in the
air.”
Nancy Shaddick, Communications Officer at Hydro One, says there were over 8000
area homes without power at the peak of the
storm, and some residents remained without power until after Christmas.
“Orangeville was one of the more hardhit areas, so we had people without power
into the 28th and the 29th of December,” Ms.
Shaddick explained. “Some people in those
areas also needed the Electrical Safety Authority to inspect the extent of damage done
on their own personal properties before
they were able to get power restored.”
She added that the conditions were often
too icy and windy to see the extent of the
damage, so at times when the wind calmed
down, they had helicopters fly over the area
to identify and locate the cause of the outages.
“A lot of what they were seeing was trees
down on power lines,” said Ms. Shaddick. “A
lot of the work was getting the trees off the
lines and then restoring the power to cus-
tomers in the area.”
Lynn Sinclair, a local resident, found herself as one of the people who lost hydro
from the storm, but was impressed by not
only the diligence of the workers to restore
power, but the amount of attention paid to
serving each person.
“We didn’t expect to get a real live person
on the phone when we called, with all the
thousands of outages, but late at night a gentleman answered,” she explained. “We found
out that a tree had gone down on our line
and they told us it would be fixed shortly after. We were so grateful for him to take the
time to find out what the problem was.”
She added that she knew of residents who
took hot coffee out to the workers during to
help them stay warm against the frigid air.
Orangeville Hydro had a team of six workers who also assisted in areas outside of Orangeville and Grand Valley. Hydro One had
more than 300 staff working on the problem
from lines people, forestry and technical
staff, as well as outside staff from other utilities who provided assistance.
Stories continue to float around about
the patience and care the hydro workers
showed for customers without power, as
they took the time to explain the situation
and show them why things were affected
and what was being done.
“There was a woman who lives on her
own in the country and has several pets to
stay in her home, which was out of power
for many days,” explained Ms. Sinclair. “She
talked to hydro people who were on the
road working hard. Even though they were
very tired and cold they still took the time
to show her on the computer screen what
areas were still out and where she was on
the time calendar.”
At a time of year when they should have
been on holidays and spending time with
loved ones, workers remained diligent until
power was restored.
“There were certainly a lot of guys who
worked under harsh and cold conditions at
a time of year where I am sure they would
rather be home with family to celebrate
Christmas,” added Mr. Noble. “They understood the importance of getting Hydro back
on for people so they could enjoy it as well.
We’re very proud of our people and the effort our guys put in.”

48 defy –10º air in 23rd annual Polar Bear Dip
I can only imagine the cold shock that
grips the heart like true fright as one jumps
into a hole cut in river ice.
That’s right: I can only imagine, though I
have no actual experience of it. It the ‘fraidycat’s benefit. The empathetic imagining was
as far as I came New Year’s Day to participating in the Grand Valley Lions Club’s 23rd
annual Polar Bear Dip. Participants donated
non-perishable items to local food banks.
Standing with the about 150 other spectators on Grand River’s bank, I considered
joining the polar dip participants who shivered among us in blankets and towels with
little else to keep warm. Merely considering
the dip caused the two testes to retreat somewhere near my stomach and the sphincter to
tighten in stark pre-hypothermic fear.
Swim shorts and one of those neoprene-type shirts were left in the car. Abandoned. The dashboard thermometer read
too deep below zero for a dip in waist-deep
water. Nothing could be said to boost confidence. No thought afforded sufficient delusion. Mind over matter is a farce in such
situations.
Forty-eight people took the plunge into
water that was minus 0.7º Celsius. The air
temperature was announced to be –10.7º
Celsius. Those figures added up, in my mind
at least, to a torturous assault on a body’s
core temperature.
People from as far away as Germany
watched and shivered on the river bank as
organizers trolled the opened space of water
with a shovel to remove ice bits that formed.
That’s right: ballycatter in the water as if
the wounded river ice was healing the cut
opened for the polar dippers.
“I wouldn’t be able to get into that,” spectator Peter Hartley said through chattering
teeth. “Cold enough as I am and I’m wearing a shirt, sweater, parka, and heavy boots.
Some of them only have bikinis on.”
One girl had YOLO – acronym for You
Only Live Once – on her bikini. YOLO indeed: Her mother must worry. A man wore
one of those Viking horned helmets and a
cape emblazoned with words supporting
childhood cancer survivors.
The final dipper, one of the Lions Club vol-

belly-flopped wearing his one-piece survival

“Has to be cold enough for you to lose
certain bodily functions,” said another observer.
You think so? said another.
“Think about it. Think about the shock
when you hit the water.”
Slow solemn nodding by the people who
stood in the vicinity. A shiver seemed to radiate through them like a hockey arena wave.

Church’s New Year’s Gala raised
funds for Typhoon Haiyan victims
The devastation of Typhoon Haiyan continues as millions of people are still without
food, water and shelter following the storm
that destroyed multiple villages in the Philippines in November.
While the Philippines are more than an
ocean away, the impact has been felt locally
by the Orangeville Filipino Community (ORFILCO), with many of them having family in
the affected areas.
“We’re just lucky that we are here,” explained Richie Castillo, owner of Nannies
Direct and a member of ORFILCO. “We
knew we needed to do this charity for the
Philippines, because it will mean a lot to
them.”
In December, local Filipino families banded together through Nannies Direct, a Filipino nanny business in town, to collect food,
clothing and raise money for disaster relief.
They were joined by a nine-year-old student
from East Garafraxa, Jack Greig, who sold
bottled water to collect money for the relief
effort.
Combined, they were able to raise $6000
for the effort. But that’s not where the relief
effort ends.
Moved by what these families are going
through, St. Timothy Catholic Church in Orangeville decided to throw a New Year’s Eve
Reason to donate to your hospital #7,639 Gala to raise more money to send and help
those affected.
“As we are approaching the New Year, I
thought it would be an opportunity to raise
some funds for what has happened in the
Philippines,” said Father Sean Leelung, St.
Timothy’s parish priest. “There are families
here amongst us whose family back home
has been devastated by what took place.”
He added that charity has to begin at
home, and for many people the church is a
second home, where their extended family
faces life with them together.
“We feel so honoured by it,” said Ms. Castillo. “It means so much that they viewed
our situation with such importance. It’s really overwhelming. We’re all just so thankful
for what Father Sean and the members of St.
Timothy’s are doing.”
The Gala included a buffet dinner with
foods prepared by different members of the
church, a silent auction, games and live music to ring in the New Year. The church set
out to sell 120 tickets, and sold all of them,
plus had additional guests arrive.
“The church is about family and reaching
out, and we have families in our own parish
who have been devastated, so we thought
this would be a great idea,” explained Father Sean. “We live in joyful hope for the
New Year that somehow we can reach out to
those families in the Philippines.”

Young Drivers launch winter driving contest
with free access to an online winter driving
tutorial on the new YD winter driving website, a free educational classroom component, and free in car lessons valued at $399.
The in-classroom program covers everything from skid prevention and control, how
to drive in snow, what to do if you hit black
ice, how to use your ABS brakes properly
and more.
“The rules of the contest are such that

Dufferin OPP checked 2,233 vehicles at RIDE spot checks
Ontario Provincial Police in Dufferin
County were busy this holiday season, conducting Reduced Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) program checks.
Police set up 94 RIDE spot checks at various locations throughout Dufferin. They
stopped and checked 2,233 vehicles throughout the county between Nov. 23 and Jan. 2.
At those program check-points, OPP
administered 28 road-side tests and issued
three three-day driver’s license suspensions, a single seven-day driver’s license
suspension, and charged three drivers with
impaired driving.
Dufferin OPP also filed two race/stunt
drive charges.

Across the province, the OPP reported significantly fewer impaired driving charge and
Warn Range Suspension totals for their 2013
Festive RIDE Campaign, which ran from
November 23 to January 2, 2014.
During that time the OPP laid 578 impaired
driving charges and issued 481 Warn Range
Suspensions. In comparison, the 2012-13
campaign resulted in 693 impaired driving
charges and 625 Warn Range Suspensions.
While the OPP was pleased to see the
numbers significantly lower in both categories, the force said this year’s charges still
serve as a reminder that a small number
of impaired drivers threatened the lives of
other road users over the holidays.

added Mr. DiCicco. “All they have to do is
submit either their scariest or funniest winter driving story. It doesn’t matter whether
they are a pedestrian, a cyclist, a passenger
or even a driver.”
While the contest is being run by the GTA
branch of Young Drivers, those outside the
GTA are eligible to win if they are willing to
take the courses at one of the GTA locations.
To enter the contest, all drivers is submit
either their funniest or scariest winter driving tale.
“I had one student submit a story about
how the week before Christmas, he and his
buddy laced up their skates and were skating up and down their street because it was
that quiet and icy,” explained Mr. DiCicco.
“So that was a pretty cool story. And if nothing else, it tells drivers to be prepared for
people to be skating up and down a street in
extremely icy conditions.”
The contest runs throughout January and
three grand prize winners will be selected at
the end of each week.
“This is my 28th year with Young Drivers
of Canada and I’ve been the director of the
GTA for 18 years now,” said Mr. DiCicco.
“What I’m finding is there are more and more
people who are less and less competent with
their winter driving skills.”
He added that a rather large contributing

Winter driving in this part of Ontario can
be nerve-wracking, especially if you are
unfamiliar with the potentially treacherous
conditions or have not had proper safety
training. In order to counter the lack of education, GTA Young Drivers (YD) of Canada
has decided to launch a Winter Driving Story
contest for the month of January.
Angelo DiCicco, General Manager, GTA
Young Drivers, explained that the idea was
developed when no one really paid attention
to December’s National Safe Driving Week.
“The uptake and the interest in the media
was focused on other things, like Rob Ford,
and very few people were talking about Safe
Driving Week,” he said. “So we came up with
this contest to raise awareness for safe driving in the winter, and refreshing people’s
memory. Almost everyone needs a refresher
at the beginning of the year because winter
is not going to just go away, not yet anyway.”
The contest is open to anyone aged 16 and
over and rewards the grand prize winners
Available in most new
Ford vehicles with
6-month pre-paid
subscription
factor to the decrease in skilled winter drivers could be the advances in modern technology in cars. Things like all wheel drive
and ABS braking controllers make people
feel safer and like their cars can handle
more, so people are pushing the limits of
speed and safety in the snow.
“They don’t seem to be as cautious with
safety rules like keeping space between
themselves and the vehicle in front and
acknowledging the ever-changing road conditions,” he said. “That’s why I’m launching
this campaign – just to get the word out that
if you’re going to live in Canada, you better
get used to the snow because it’s not going
away for a while.”

Dog Tags –
More Than Just
Identification
Dog tags are important to your pet.
Should they get lost, dog tags provide proper identification to help
them find their way home and be reunited with their family. 2013 dog
tags are expired December 31.
Dog tags are also important to the
neglected and abused animals in our
community. All revenue from the
sale of Orangeville and Mono dog
tags go directly towards the Ontario
SPCA Orangeville & District Branch
to provide care for the animals at the
shelter.

145 pets found homes through iAdopt program
This Christmas was a happy one for more
than just humans, as 145 animals from the
Orangeville SPCA shelter found their way into
their forever homes through the launch of the
iAdopt program.
The program, which launched in November
and December, is designed to help make people more aware of the need for adoptions.
“It’s a program that is intended to give people who adopt animals a place to share their
adoption stories on the website, and a place
for people who are thinking about getting a
pet to go and read these stories,” explained
Carol Hulcoop, manager of the Orangeville
and District branch of the Ontario SPCA. “We
are hoping that through the iAdopt program
people will be able to share their stories and
share their life-changing experiences which
will cause other people to consider adoption
and increase our adoption results year round.”
During the launch, several people who were
unable to adopt themselves expressed interest
in sponsoring pets, which led to many pets
having their adoption fees covered.
“The costs of specific animals were covered,” said Ms. Hulcoop. “It was as a result
of very generous supporters that came who
weren’t in the position to adopt an animal
but wanted to help one get adopted. So they
sponsored them, which is how a lot of the fees
were covered.”
The branch staff were excited to see the
number of animals who went to good homes,
especially when they not only met their goal
for adoptions during the two months, but
exceeded it.
“It felt great. It felt really good to know that
we had empty cages,” said Ms. Hulcoop. “We
set a goal for ourselves early in the program
and we knew that we had set a stretch goal,
but we felt that we could meet it.”
She added that the staff worked diligently to
make sure that all information and pictures on
the website were current so that anyone looking to adopt could browse through updated
information.
“We have a volunteer who takes wonderful
photos of the animals, so they’re really irresistible when you see them on the website,” she
said, adding that they are all even more irre-
sistible when you see them in person.
At the end of the program launch, which
rounded up December 31, a total of 106 cats,
31 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 4 rabbits and 2 rats
were adopted, leaving the shelter empty –
something which Ms. Hulcoop added is always
a good thing. Empty cages, she explained,
means that more animals have found their
ways to good homes.
The iAdopt program will run year-round,
and continue to encourage the adoptions of
animals who have been abandoned or had to
be left behind for certain reasons. The adoption process has not changed during the program and still employs the ‘Meet Your Match’
process designed to help people connect with
their perfect animal companion.
“The goal and expectation that I have is that
because iAdopt is there, because the website
is there and people get to share their stories, it
will generate more excitement about adopting
from shelters,” said Ms. Hulcoop. “We hope it
will increase our adoptions overall – not only
in our branch, but in all the communities and
participating shelters.”
The shelter has received a lot of feedback,
not just through the iAdopt program, but over
the years, from people who are pleased with
their matches. Often, they’ll send photos or
cards to let the shelter know just how well
their new companions are fitting in.
“People will thank us for introducing them,
and tell us that they’re a great match and the
pet has become a great member of their family,” explained Ms. Hulcoop. “People will call
or they will send us a card or a picture and we
post them on the boards in the corridor.”
The community has been a strong supporter
of the iAdopt program, leaving Ms. Hulcoop
and the staff at the SPCA confident that the
program will continue to do well moving forward into the year.
“I’d like to thank the community for such
a great response to our iAdopt program and
opening up their hearts and homes to so many
animals,” she said. “I think that it’s just been
a wonderful, overwhelming response from the
community. One of the most rewarding things
that we do here is to know that these animals
have gone into great forever homes.”

Bob McCrea has become the first Mono
resident to file nomination papers in the for
the town’s 2014 municipal election.
The chair of the Town’s Planning and Environmental Advisory Committee (PEAC),
Mr. McCrea was at the Mono Town Hall at
8:30 a.m. last Thursday, January 2 to submit
his nomination papers.
“I want to represent residents with a balanced and common sense approach with
respect to everyday services and future development,” Mr. McCrea said.
He has served for more than 15 years on
the Mono Planning and Environmental Advi-
sory Committee and the last three years on
the Committee of Adjustment. A resident of
Mono for more than 16 years, he has been
involved in the Town’s committees and a
volunteer at Mono events.
Mr. McCrea earned a Bachelor’s degree in
Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Waterloo. He has spent the last
38 years in professional sales working with
people and businesses to satisfy their needs
and become successful.
Mr. McCrea says his main interest is helping guide how Mono develops and working
with residents to satisfy their needs. “Mono
is a small rural community but we are a very
short distance from the largest urban area
in Canada. Change will come and we need
Council members who have the ability to direct that change to benefit Mono residents.
The needs of our residents and our Town are
my highest priority.”
He says one of his goals is to bring important “balance” to Mono Council. “Mono
is rural and residential and both need to be
represented on our Council. Almost 45% of
the population of Mono is in our residential
subdivisions and that number will increase
to over 50% when the Brookfield subdivision
is complete. The balanced representation
on Mono Council is very important over the
next four years, as the largest development
in Mono’s history is being built on the southern border of our Town.”

No cause determined in $800,0000 house fire
The Orangeville Fire Department has
been unable to determine the cause of a
fire last Saturday that destroyed a house
on Mono’s Starrview Crescent.
Investigators say several possible ignition sources were located in the attached
garage, in which the fire is believed to
have originated.
However, they were unable to determine the exact source.
“When there is extensive fire damage to
a building, it can prove impossible to pinpoint the exact cause,” said Orangeville
Fire Chief Andy Macintosh. “When that
is the situation, it is proper procedure to
classify the fire cause as undetermined.”
Fire departments from Mono Mills,
Shelburne and Grand Valley joined the
Orangeville fire fighters at the scene in an
unsuccessful effort to save the adjacent
residence. Firefighters were on the scene
for 13 hours, working in bitterly cold temperatures.
Damages at 57 Starrview Crescent,
where the home was located, are estimated at $800,000.

County blocks laneway where boy
was almost hit by speeding car
The laneway in front of the Ontario Early Years Centre (OYEC) was blocked off by
cement blocks just before Christmas, after a
young boy was almost hit by a speeding car.
Dufferin’s Director of Community Services,
Keith Palmer, said plans to block off the laneway were already in the works prior to the
event.
“We already had recognized that the size of
that laneway was a little larger than we would
like it to be,” explained Mr. Palmer. “We had
cones situated at the back of the area and sandwich boards at the front of the area. Unfortunately on that particular day, the cone at the
end was removed and the drive thought it was
a laneway, when in fact it is not.”
Although the boy’s mother felt little concern
had been shown when she attempted to contact
the County, Mr. Palmer added that they were

the more stable temporary blockades.
“I was sorry to read that was what the women experienced,” said Mr. Palmer. “County staff
took the incident very seriously and my OYEC
staff did communicate to me that a phone call
was made to the woman later that afternoon as
a check-in about the incident.”
He said the safety of the children and community members who utilize the Dufferin Community Services Centre and the Early Years
Centre is a high priority of the County of Dufferin.
“The measures that are in place are temporary for the winter period,” Mr. Palmer added.
“In the spring a more permanent solution will
be considered. At this point the County is comfortable the “do not enter” signs and the large
boulders at the entry points will stop vehicles
from entering the walkway.”
The “do not enter” signs will be permanent.

Australia and East Timor
And now for something completely different: a spy story that isn’t about Edward
Snowden’s disclosures and the U.S. National
Security Agency’s surveillance of everything
and everybody. This one could come straight
out of a 1950s spy thriller: a microphone
buried in a wall, a listening post manned by
people with headphones, and transcripts of
secret conversations delivered to negotiators.
Now it’s true that Australia is a member of
the Gang of Five, more formally known as
the “Five Eyes” (the United States, Canada,
the United Kingdom, Australia and New
Zealand), which share most of the information that they acquire through hi-tech mass
surveillance. That’s the kind of spying that
Snowden’s leaks are about, and whatever
Australia picks up through this process it
presumably shares with its co-conspirators.
It was in this context that Australia
listened to the phone conversations of
Indonesia’s president, Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono, his wife, and eight potential
successors. When Indonesia recalled its
ambassador from Canberra and protested,
Prime Minister Tony Abbott swatted the
protest away with the line they are all using
now: “All governments gather information and all governments know that every
other government gathers information.”
The Indonesian reply was a classic. “I
have news for you,” said Foreign Minister
Marty Natalegawa. “We don’t do it. We
certainly should not be doing it among
friends.” He was, he said, deeply unhappy
about the “dismissive answer being provided” by the Australian government. So
Australia has managed to alienate its
biggest neighbour, probably for no advantage to itself, just as the United States has
alienated Brazil with the same tactics.
But the kind of spying under discussion
here was too shameful to share even with
the other Four Eyes of the “Anglosphere”. It
was an Australian-only operation mounted in
2004 to gather information about the negotiating position of a very poor neighbouring
country, East Timor, so that Australia could
rip its neighbour off in a treaty that divided a
rich gas field on the seabed between them.
The treaty in question, “Certain Maritime
Arrangements in the Timor Sea”, always
seemed a bit peculiar. The CMATS treaty
gave Australia a half share in the massive
Greater Sunrise field, which is said to be
worth $40 billion. But that field lies just 100
kilometres (60 miles) south of East Timor,
and 400 kilometres (250 miles) from Australia.
The normal rule on international seabed
rights would put the boundary equidistant between the two countries, but that
would have given East Timor sovereignty
over the entire gas field. Instead, CMATS
postponed a final settlement of the seabed boundary for 50 years, and in the
meantime gave Australia 50 per cent of the
GWYNNE DYER
OUR WORLD TODAY
revenue from the Greater Sunrise field.
The existing gas field off East Timor’s
coast has only about 10 years’ life left, and
the the East Timor government depends on
gas revenues for 95 percent of its income, so
it was very vulnerable in those negotiations.
The Australian negotiators could exploit
that vulnerability because they had daily
updates on how desperate their Timorese
opposite numbers were: the Australian
Secret Intelligence Service had bugged the
prime minister’s and the cabinet offices.
Four ASIS operatives did the job, pretending to be part of a team of Australian aid
workers renovating East Timor’s government
offices. The man who gave the order was
Australia’s then foreign minister, Alex Downer
– who now runs a public relations firm that
represents Woodside Petroleum, a major
Australian company that was the main beneficiary of the treaty. Funny how things work out.
The operation would never have come to
light if the former director of technical operations at ASIS, who led the bugging operation,
had not had an attack of conscience on learning of Downer’s link to Woodside. He told East
Timor about it, and the Timorese government
then brought an action before the Permanent
Court of Arbitration at The Hague demanding that the CMATS treaty be cancelled.
The Australian government’s response
was to arrest the whistle-blower and cancel
his passport so he could not travel to The
A least important place (IV)
Having spoken to the Veterans in Shelburne this past November about the loss
of their loved hospital, Shelburne District Hospital, I was kindly spoken to by
a Mrs. Holmes of Dufferin County.
She said I had spoken well – I was pleased
with this kind notice (as I can be long-winded).
Her husband spoke next; and, he gave
an interesting talk on a theme of personal
remembrance. While I supped my tea I took
it in. His uncle, a “Ted” Cook of Orangeville
serving with the Queen’s Own Rifles I believe,
had been assassinated by an SS outfit
behind the Normandy beachhead in 1944.
These were vile, fanatical operators. One
of his uncle’s comrades, an Ontarian soldier,
who – shortly after being captured by the Nazi
murder unit – had managed to escape their
evil clutches. Escaping down a narrow French
road, he was shot in the back; but, this soldier
survived to tell of the massacre – at the loss of
a..err..testicle as the bullet came out his front.
Mr. Holmes smiled and paused momentarily as the veterans drank in this detail
over their coffee, and then concluded his
talk by cheerily noting the man had gone on
to father two children in postwar Ontario.
Testicular fortitude, amongst a number of
other strengths and virtues, has been and
is necessary to see to the survival of our
small-town Ontarian hospitals. We haven’t
had enough of it in Dufferin County, and
the disabled, the elderly, and the veterans
of towns like Shelburne – who gave their
all when asked during the 1940s – have
been given little or nothing in return.
Our current MP – sorry, “Q.C., MP” – has
proven disappointing in this particular crucial ‘battle’, both as MP, and as local MPP
previously. While he fought like a caged tiger
to be seen to gaining better “digs” for the Shelburne-area detachment of the OPP as part of
the current Tories’ stomping around and acting
tough on “law-and-order” issues, our “Q.C.,
MP” has lacked testicular fortitude for this
fight, to keep a hospital presence in Shelburne
where it is most certainly needed: perhaps too
much time fine dining in Europe through the
past few years? One wonders.... Mr. Tilson is
now certainly, as Shakespeare had it memora-
ROB BREDIN
ONTARIO MATTERS
bly, “In fair round belly with good capon lined.”
And, no doubt, thanks to his efforts “across
the pond”, Dufferin County will – presently
one supposes – benefit from the arrival of
a better range of pate-de-fois-gras, gamier
duck-a-l’orange, choicer ’n’ smellier fromages (snooty overpriced cheeses), and
perdrix (partridges) from France as a result
of the new European free trade “deal”, to
which we must say a fancy “bon appetit!”
But, all these things we can produce
healthily, deliciously, and locally in Dufferin
County; but, we can’t replace a hospital for
Shelburne in short order now that it’s been
prised away by unaccountable bureaucrats
and meducrats; and, losing it unjustly and
unwisely has, time-and-again, proven a matter
of life and, sadly, death for a number of locals.
One such tale to close. I had brunch with
a gentleman-biker from Dundalk awhile back
in Shelburne. A very gentle and reflective
man, still working from home, he had lost his
beloved Kathleen, his second wife and true
love through 37 years. His wife had had a
brain aneurysm during the mid-2000s, and
Group think
First, a brief lesson in how
media “group think” works.
In what seems like another lifetime
now, your humble correspondent, as the
Ottawa columnist for the Toronto Sun,
was among a group of “select” journalists
invited for a private, on-the-record session
with then finance minister Michael Wilson
the day after Brian Mulroney’s triumphant
Tories had issued their first budget.
The key theme of that budget – and of
the election campaign leading up to it – was
that the Liberals had overspent and overtaxed Canadians and the Tories were about
to change that. Deficit-slashing and tax and
spending cuts would be the order of the day.
And so it was, as each invited journalist
around the table was given the chance one by
one to ask Wilson a question, all the inquiries were based on the notion that all these
spending cuts wouldn’t sit well with the people
whose collective oxen were being gored.
With each question, Wilson solemnly
acknowledged there would be political pushback, but emphasized the urgency of getting
spending and the federal deficit under control.
When it was finally my turn, I asked
Wilson why, in light of their advocacy of
had required both operations and extended
hospital stays to
survive – nothing fancy
in that. However, as
Shelburne District Hospital was put through
its protracted winding-down, Kathleen was
– according to my acquaintance – the last
patient to be moved out. This was some
four to five years ago now. My acquaintance
described her care at Shelburne as “very
fine and attentive”; however, Kathleen died
relatively shortly after being moved from the
closing public hospital at Shelburne, once at
a private care facility, or nursing-home as we
know them, “from being left to choke to death.”
She was one day past her 60th birthday....
What we’re left with is to accept “shabby”,
shoddy, breathtakingly stupid, life-taking
decisions, ineptly made by those “in-theknow” and by the seemingly all-powerful – but
unaccountable who don’t actually have to
live with, or suffer from, the direct consequences of their decisions once taken.
CLAIRE HOY
NATIONAL AFFAIRS
less government spending – an ideology
which meshes perfectly with my own, by
the way – why was it that when you look
at his own numbers, government spending was actually increasing substantially.
As the saying goes, you could have heard
a pin drop. Wilson haughtily dismissed the
question. The other journalists never referred
to the actual facts of the matter in their subsequent reports. And this correspondent never
again was invited to join the inner circle of
“select” journalists for that or any other event.
This is not meant to tout my own personal
courage – if anything, it underscores my basic
anti-social instincts – only to demonstrate
that in the Ottawa Press Gallery, or any other
press collective you can name, there is strong
pressure to go along in order to get along.
All of which brings us to the current avalanche of mainstream media stories based
on the premise – an absurd premise, it says
here – that Prime Minister Stephen Harper
will likely decide to step down before the next
election and allow somebody else to take over.
Having spent 2013 trying to convince
Canadians that the Mickey Mouse Senate
“scandal” really is earth-shattering – it’s
ain’t pretty, but it certainly doesn’t compare
with, let’s say, the billion-dollar boondoggles
from Ontario’s own Liberal government over
energy and health spending – the media
has now, it seems, collectively decided that
Harper is truly on the ropes politically.
Keep in mind that the vast majority of
journalists are not inclined to look upon
Conservatives, any Conservatives, kindly.
This isn’t to suggest they are all shills for
the opposition parties, only that they view
the world from a different perspective.
Here’s another illustration. Another time,
when your correspondent was introduced
for a speech to a large pro-life conference,
the host introduced me as “one of Canada’s
leading pro-life journalists.” I replied that it was
probably true, but that’s mainly because I could
only think of three or four journalists who were
actually pro-life. All the others were on the
opposite side. Most – but not all – journalists
try to be fair. But just as my own outlook affects
the way I view the abortion issue, other journalists are equally affected by their philosophy,
no matter how much they try to be fair and
balanced. That’s a reality that can’t be avoided.
And so it is with the Ottawa Press Gallery
having long ago decided that Harper is the
most secretive and controlling prime minister
ʻCommonʼ common sense
We belong to a society that is remarkably adept at overlooking the obvious
about so many problems we face.
The outstanding example is reaction to the
high cost of government, deficit budgeting
which adds ever more to our national debt
and the cost of financing it. The answer
put forward by economically oriented officials in industry and government is to cut
expenditures and particularly employment.
Reductions of the labour force eliminate productive capacity of workers, require expenditure for humanitarian aid and reduces the number paying taxes. Families forced to reduce
consumption affect the ability of the commercial world to move the economy forward.
The increased call on food banks
acts like a canary in the mines warning
society of dangerous roads ahead.
Government depends on a productive
economy. Over the past century the proportion of corporate revenue paid to government has dropped from well over half
the budget to less than 20% and is heading
to 15%. The bulk of public expenditures

of Bernard Collaery, the
lawyer representing East
Timor before the Court.
The documents
seized include an
affidavit summarising the whistle-blower’s testimony at the
Court and correspondence between Collaery and his client, Timorese president
Xanana Gusmao. It’s more of the same
sort of behaviour: the Australian government has decided to brazen it out.
Can Australia get away with this? Not
legally. As Collaery says, “It was a carefully premeditated, involved, very lengthy
operation with premeditated breaches
of the Vienna Convention on the Law of
Treaties, and premeditated breaches of
the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic
Relations. This is a criminal conspiracy, a
break-in on sovereign territory and a breach
of Australian law.” And he has three more
whistle-blowers lined up to testify too.
But the case may still be settled out of
court, because East Timor is still desperate. Woodside has not yet started developing the Greater Sunrise field, and it will
never do so if there isn’t a deal. Offer East
Timor another 10 per cent and a promise
to go ahead, and it will probably drop the
case. The poor cannot afford justice.
is met from personal income taxes.
The business community is not only failing
to pay its share of running the country but
is doing everything possible to reduce the
capability of the public to do so. Cutting the
direct cost of payrolls is only the first step.
Salaries are a negotiated term of employment basic to capitalism. In the public
service pensions are similarly a negotiated
term of employment to which both employees and employers have agreed, a basis
for continuing incomes once retired.
Even society in general, public and private, contributes to the Canada Pension
Plan, all benefiting from investment in the
future. Retirement income is not a form of
welfare for which the state is responsible
despite the protestations of government,
industry and the media. Security in post
employment years is an essential element in the well being of society for which
workers and industry are responsible.
This is not a socialistic handout but a
term of employment agreement. There is
no question of the electorate funding an
ever – even though a
thorough Globe and
Mail study on voting patterns showed Tory MPs
split way more often
from their party than
either Liberals or New
Democrats in actual parliamentary votes – the
current “group think” is that the Tories have
slipped so much in the opinion polls (never
mind how badly polls have fared in several
recent elections and by-elections) that Harper
has no choice but to either step down gracefully or be forced out by his outraged party.
It’s all complete nonsense, of course.
Polls come and polls go. And polls two
years before an election don’t now – and
never have – mean very much at all.
Indeed, it says here in this corner that the
best news for Harper and his Tories – apart
from a host of additional seats being added
for the next election, most of them in strong
Tory areas – is that Justin Trudeau appears to
have resuscitated the moribund Liberal Party, a
reality which is likely to hurt the NDP – particularly in Quebec – more than it will the Tories.
But then, I never was big on the notion
of so-called “common wisdom.”
DOUG SKEATES
FROM THE GLOBAL CLASSROOM
essential process or a burden on the economy but one which workers and private
sector employers are equally responsible
to address. It’s only common sense.
Protection from the extremes of weather is a
government responsibility. Hurricane Katrina
destroying much of New Orleans or Sandy’s
impact on New York were not only disasters
inflicted by natural causes but a failure of society to take the necessary measures to protect
people in such events. The same could be
said of massive flooding in Alberta or earthquakes around the Pacific rim. Even more so,
the loss of lives through buildings collapsing
in Bangladesh or Elliot Lake in Ontario.
News broadcasts focus on disasters
not the failure of society to minimize their
effects. Nature is easily blamed for such
loss of life; it is all so easy to lay the blame
elsewhere than to accept the costs involved
to avoid the worst of the carnage.
What have we learned from the many, many
disasters around the world? Hurricane Hazel
was a real eye-opener in southern Ontario.
Many measures have been taken to reduce
the impact of any future
disasters of this nature
for which we should
be thankful. Water
courses have been
modified to reduce
potential flooding
and restrictions have been placed on
development in areas subject to danger.
At least Ontario has made great efforts
to prepare for such future calamities.
It makes a great deal of sense to take
the necessary protective measures. From
an economic view it is less costly both in
human and financial resources to enforce
building codes and ensure that the greatest
effects of nature are planned for. The costs
of preventative medicine relative to coping
with the expense of the havoc created by
diseases, are well understood, i.e. getting flue
shots. It would make considerable sense to
place the same importance to other events
in society. A familiar ad notes one can pay
now or face greater expenditures later.
The common sense choice is ours.

Fabulous holiday, nightmare end
A Claridge family Yuletide tradition, at least
in recent years, has seen us take a trip south.
Two years ago, we enjoyed a great
Caribbean cruise, courtesy of the Princess
cruise line, that took us as far south as
Barbados and included stops in the Bahamas, the U.S. Virgin Islands and St. Kitts.
Last year, we spent an enjoyable week
at a resort hotel in Sint Maarten near
a beach where sunbathers encounter
passenger jets swooping over them as
they land at the island’s only airport.
This time everybody favoured another
cruise but Christmas coming on a Wednesday posed a real challenge, with school out
the previous Friday, the attractive cruises
all started before Christmas Day and the
Orangeville-based portion of the family group
had choir commitments Christmas Eve.
Then came the discovery that the Holland
America line had an unusual Caribbean
cruise service based in Fort Lauderdale that
involves weekly departures by the line’s
Eurodam, the trips alternating between
the eastern and western Caribbean.
That meant the Sudbury-based part of the
family – son Chris, his wife Liisa and kids
Owen and Maija, and Liisa’s parents Réjean
and Irma – could leave Fort Lauderdale on
Sunday, December 22, and our part (Pam,
Nancy and me) could join them on the 29th.
Our trip south was pretty uneventful, involving a night at Toronto’s Airport Hilton so we
could make it to Pearson Airport by shortly
after 5 a.m. Saturday for the 7:40 Westjet flight.

we checked in and were directed to the

The lineup awaiting clearance filled much
of Terminal 3’s main departures lounge in
addition to a couple of large rooms in the
Customs area itself. All in all, it meant spending an hour, only about 15 seconds of which
was getting cleared by an agent. The problem
seemed to be a lack of personnel capable
of handling peak holiday crowds, with only
about one in three booths occupied. And
since the huge lineup diminished while we
were waiting, our suspicion was that most of
the Customs officers had just come on duty.
The flight south to Fort Lauderdale was a little late leaving but that was no problem, since
we had booked accommodation at the Hilton
Garden Inn, which was relatively close to both
the airport and the Port Everglades seaport.
With eight cruise liners scheduled to depart
that day, we opted to reserve a cab and
arrived at the Holland America terminal before
noon, plenty of time for a 4 p.m. sailing.
Our only previous encounter with Holland America having been in 2000 for a
spring cruise to Alaska, we didn’t know
what to expect, but were impressed at the
cruise line’s handling of all challenges.
The loading started at 12 noon and we
were aboard the Eurodam in time for lunch
at about 1 p.m. Although initial attempts to
contact the Sudbury crew failed, we soon
touched bases and found that they had
staterooms next to ours and an ability to
open the doors between our balconies, which
on the “Dam ships” are called verandahs.
Just about everything on the five-yearold ship was high-class and the Indonesian crew members were marvelous. The
itinerary involved days at sea on Monday
and Friday, plus visits to Grand Turk,
Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and the cruise
line’s Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas.
The only disappointment was that the
Puerto Rican stop, at San Juan, was on
New Year’s Day and all the normal tourist
stops on the Highlights tour were closed. As
for the weather, it was perfect, with lots of
sunshine, invariably a breeze and both air
and water temperatures well above 20º C.
But all good things must come to an
end, and ours terminated shortly after our
arrival at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport’s Terminal 3, where we
went through an intensive security check.
Although the Westjet Boeing 737 was set
to leave Gate E6 on time at 2:15, there was
no sign of either the plane or anyone from
Westjet at 2 pm. At 2:07 when the first airline
personnel showed up at the desk there was
still no plane but we were assured it was
on the ground, just at another terminal. The
plane finally arrived at about 2:30 and we
took off for Quebec City at 3:10, arriving
there three hours later only to find that we
had not only to go through Customs and
Immigration but faced a need to reclaim our
baggage and again go through Security.
The second security check was just as
intensive as the one in Fort Lauderdale but
took much longer since only one of five gates
was staffed. And that
meant the last passengers bound for
Toronto weren’t back
until about 8 p.m., by
which time the weather
had deteriorated to
the point were the wings had to be de-iced,
a process that took until about 8:30.
Then came the Captain’s announcement
that Pearson Airport had been “grounded” due
to freezing rain, but that the shutdown would
likely be over by 9 p.m. That was the case, but
it took another 30 minutes before the plane
took off for what was to be a 90-minute flight.
Instead, the plane was in the air at 12,000
feet until nearly midnight, and when it finally
landed it was in Rochester, not Toronto, having
run low on fuel circling in competition with
more than 30 others trying for landing rights.
Getting refuelled required another two
hours (thanks to red tape), and when we
finally reached Pearson at about 2:30
a.m. there were no gates, gate crews or
baggage handlers around. We got off the
plane at about 3:30 but didn’t get our baggage until 4:30, when we took a cab to
the Hilton and Nancy went for her car.
She made it to the hotel entrance at 5 a.m.
and en route home we picked up breakfast at a
McDonald’s on Highway 7. Thanks to airlines’
(no)meal service policy, it was our first meal
since pizzas at the Fort Lauderdale terminal.
We made it to Nancy’s snow-plugged
driveway at 6:30 a.m. Monday – merely 10
hours later than our schedule called for.
Why Ford will likely be re-elected
HOW ON EARTH could Toronto wind up
with the likes of Mayor Rob Ford, and the
likelihood that he will get at least one more
four-year term as mayor?
In our submission, it’s largely because of
the way the Ontario government, then with
Mike Harris at the helm, went about forcing
amalgamation of the former Metropolitan
Toronto. That amalgamation eliminated all
the former boroughs and created a council
that comprised a mayor and 44 councillors.
Thus it was that Mr. Ford, formerly a city
councillor whose main reputation was that
of a tax-fighting renegade, was sufficiently
well-known to defeat all the roughly 40 candidates, all but three of whom got less than
1 per cent of the popular vote. The winner
got 383,501 votes – roughly 47 per cent of
the total and about the same number as
the next two candidates, former (Liberal)
Ontario cabinet minister George Smitherman and left-leaning Deputy Mayor Joe
Pantalone.
And unlike the other 44 councillors,
Mayor Ford was left able to boast that he
alone had been chosen by all Toronto’s eligible voters, the others having been elected
only in their own wards.
In the old City of Toronto, that wasn’t
always the case. A Board of Control was a
part of its municipal government from 1904
until its abolition in 1969 for reasons never
fully explained. It served as the executive
committee of City Council, consisting of
four councillors elected city-wide and presided over by the mayor. Each elector could
vote for up to four candidates, and the four
with the most votes were elected. By tradition the controller receiving the most votes
would get the powerful position of budget
chief.
As we see it, the current Ontario government should seriously consider a return to
something similar, and not just for Toronto.
As matters stand, an incumbent mayor of
a large Ontario city is almost certain to be
re-elected. (In Mississauga, Hazel McCallion has held the post since 1978.)
In Toronto, despite being a New Democrat in a city that usually elects few NDP
candidates in both federal and provincial
elections, Mr. Miller polled 57 per cent of
the vote in 2006 and led in 42 of the city’s
44 wards. He was only the second mayor
of the amalgamated city, succeeding Mel
Lastman when the former North York mayor
opted to retire.
The same situation exists in Ontario’s
other large cities, where the municipal
councils invariably are made up of a mayor
elected in a city-wide vote and councillors
from local wards.
Something similar should happen in the
those cities, if only in the interests of having
city-wide voting for more than the mayoralty – something we in “small town Ontario”
already enjoy.
Another reform for Toronto the government should consider would see the total
number of city councillors sharply reduced.
As matters stand, Brampton and Mississauga, with a combined population of over
1,250,000 (roughly half Toronto’s) have
much smaller councils – mayors plus 10 or
11 councillors – although admittedly much
of the local power rests with Peel Region.
In Toronto’s case, we think one municipal
councillor should be elected in each federal/provincial riding, leaving the city with
a mayor and four executive councillors all
elected by city-wide vote, and 25 councillors from new wards based on the local
constituencies.
Such an arrangement could lead to creation of joint offices where local residents
could go to have problems solved by whichever level of government happens to be
responsible.

Providing some
context to article
With regards to the article about the Orangeville police requesting an investigation
into its employer, I want to take the opportunity to provide some context.
The Orangeville Police Services Board
(Board) is responsible for the provisions of
adequate and effective police services in the
municipality.
The Ontario Civilian Police Commission
(OCPC) is the independent agency that
ensure adequate and effective policing services are provided to the public.
The Orangeville Police Association (Association) is the bargaining agent of the police
service.
Any citizen is welcome to file a complaint
with OCPC, who in turn determine the merit
of the complaint and whether they will
investigate.
In the event that OCPC commences an
investigation into the Board, we would participate in the investigation and welcome
the opportunity to tell our story.
The Association’s investigation request, of
which they will not share the details, comes
as a surprise to the Board.
Further, in order to resolve any outstanding collective bargaining issues, the Association has requested conciliation/arbitration.
Finally, as the President of the Association is aware, the Association is welcome
at any time to meet with Board to discuss
outstanding issues.
The Board is very proud of our police service, which serves the municipality in a very
effective manner.
We are also proud that both of our collec-
tive agreements were freely negotiated and
ratified by a strong majority.
We take our role as a Board extremely
seriously and will always endeavor to ensure
Orangeville has an effective police service.

speed limit of 100 km/h for all other traffic. Mr McGuinty, his successor and most
drivers seem to believe that disbedience of
safe driving laws is acceptable.
The former 70 mph (116 km/h) speed limit
for automobiles and 60 mph (100 km/h) limit
for trucks on divided highways made sense
in the early 1960s, and I would accept those
limits today.
Truck speeds vary because of heavy loads
and highway hills, and cars should be able to
pass quickly to minimize the blinding slush
that is thrown up by the larger vehicles.
But there is no point to adjusting traffic speeds if no one obeys them. The OPP
should stop and fine everyone driving one
km/h over the limit. One policeman in Caledon told me he does so, but I have seen no
evidence of it.

In His presence
2014 is going to be a season of new beginnings and great fruitfulness with many challenges, but we can have the assurance and the
confidence that our God is in control. He is the
One who is challenging us in our beliefs and
doctrine, making sure it is His and not ours so
that we will be on track. God is pursuing us.
He knows we need to live in His manifest presence in order to experience a life of fruitfulness and victory as being more than a conquer
instead of being fearful, tired or frustrated
because of our trials.
God wants us to trust Him just as the Israelites trusted Him during the first Passover. They
were spared death by feasting on the lamb.
Many of God’s people will die if they do not
feast on the Lamb of God. God’s people need
to “eat” the Word, hunger and thirst after Him
and believe in the power of His Blood. The
Blood of Jesus Christ is our protection and it is
only by Him that we are delivered from death
and given life. The Israelites followed the pillar of fire and so do true Christians as they live
in the presence of God. Our God is a consuming fire. He is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers
soap, purifying and sanctifying His children.
God is shaking up the nations and His church.
His church needs to learn to live and stay in
His manifest presence.
This is a season of greater discipline for He
desires to have a Holy people who will have
the mind of Christ, a Bride, who is prepared
for Him without spot or wrinkle. God is drawing a line between those who are walking in
the perfect will of the Lord and those who are
walking in His permissive will. Malachi 3:16
says, “Then those who feared the Lord spoke
to one another, and the Lord gave attention
and heard it, and a book of remembrance
was written before Him for those who fear
the Lord and who esteemed his name.” I want
God’s attention and my name written in the
book of remembrance, don’t you? 3:17 continues, “So you will again distinguish between the
righteous and the wicked, between one who
serves God and one who does not serve Him.”
We need God’s discernment to discern who are
the true Christians, for there are those among
us masquerading themselves as being one of
us. God’s grace does not give us the permission to live in sin or to wink at it either. Jesus
said in Matthew 7:21-23, “Not everyone who
says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My
Father who is in Heaven will enter. Many will
say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not
prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast
out demons, and in Your name perform many
miracles?’ And I will declare to them, ‘I never
knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO
PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.” Not everyone
who calls themselves Christian is Christian,
and not everyone prophesying, demonstrating
signs and wonders are from Christ.
We shall be persecuted for our stand in
Christ and for our convictions. God is calling
His children and taking them into greater sanctification which will cause them to separate
themselves from all defilement. Not everyone
will want this greater sanctification. However,
this greater sanctification will empower His
children to manifest the brightness of His righteousness and His healing power. Hebrews
4:12 says, “For the word of God is living and
active and sharper than any two-edged sword,
and piercing as far as the division of soul and
spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to
judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
Only the revelation of Jesus Christ brings the
Word of God to life so that it becomes the living Word which changes and transforms our
souls. It is our soul that gives us a hard time

150 YEARS AGO
Thursday, December 31, 1863
• From The Sun, Orangeville:
THE NEW YEAR – The merry Christmas
holidays are now passing away, and another year,
with all its new hopes and high aspirations, is at
hand. The country has seldom been in a position to bid the old year adieu, or enter upon the
new with more favorable auguries of material
and social prosperity than at present. A bountiful harvest, safely gathered, fills the land with
plenty; and while neighboring nations are suffering from civil wars or foreign oppression, Canada enjoys the blessings of profound peace and
tranquility. We have much cause for congratulation, but in the fullness of our prosperity may be
the measure of our gratitude and thankfulness
for the blessings we enjoy, never grow less, and
may each succeeding new year be a happy one to
our friends, and patrons, and to all.
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS – The first
election of councillors for this village will take
place on Monday, the candidates being Messrs.
F.C. Stewart, W.E. Thompson, T. Jull, F. Irwin,
J. .May, W. Armstrong, W.S. Hewat, and S.H.
McKitrick. Of these, Messrs. Stewart, Jull, Armstrong and May have at different times served as
councillors in Mono and Garafraxa, and have
their past services to recommend them to public favor. The other candidates are, however,
well qualified for the office, and if they have not
public services to recommend them, they have
undisputed merit and success in their respective
businesses. Between the candidates, there is very
little to choose, and any five of them will make as
good a Council as any municipality need desire.
The candidates for Mono are Messrs. Geo.
McManus, John Avison, Thos. Elder, Samuel
Hall, Geo. Little and Wm. Campbell. The first
four served in the Council this year, and appear
to have given general satisfaction. We have no
doubt they will be re-elected. There will, however, be a close contest between Messrs. Little
and Campbell, but the former, we believe, will
be returned.
SCHOOL EXAMINATION – The quarterly examination of the pupils attending Bythia
Street school took place in the school room on
Thursday last, in the presence of a large number
of the parents and guardians of the children. The
examination, which was principally conducted
by the teacher, Mr. Geo. Brunt, was very satisfactory. The several classes acquitted themselves
in a manner creditable alike to their own industry and the efforts of their worthy instructor. In
reading, arithmetic, grammar, geography and
history, the pupils evinced a marked improvement since the last examination, and answered
the questions asked them with surprising readiness. After several classes had been heard, the
judges awarded prizes to those meriting them,
and the examination closed with their distribution among the scholars.
PROPOSED GRAVEL ROAD AND TRAMWAY – It appears to us that a more important
subject cannot be brought before the public in
this section than the construction of a gravel
road and tramway from the village to some point
on the Grand Trunk Railway. Many suggestions
might unquestionably be made to forward and
achieve an object so desirable, but that which
seems to us the most reasonable and sensible, is
the organization of a joint stock company with a
subscribed capital of about $60,000. This sum,
according to the calculations of a gentleman experienced in such matters, would be sufficient to
complete the excavating, grading and gravelling
of the road, and laying of a substantial tramway
side by side with it…. The traffic on the tramway
would be immense and increasing every year,
and the great loads which a span of horses would
be able to draw on it would, it is apprehended,
render it a cheap medium for the transportation
of produce, merchandise and other commodities…. We throw out these hints merely with the
view of arresting the attention of our public men,
and eliciting the opinions of others on the project. We will refer to the subject again.
125 YEARS AGO
• In the third sale of 1888, Laurel Cheese Factory handled 60,622 pounds of milk and manufactured 6,122 pounds of cheese, which was sold
at an average of 10 cents a pound, realizing $612.
Expenses included $153.05 to manufacturers,
$12.00 to caretaker Hugh McGowan, and $3.00
to salesman for a total of $168.05. As a result,
$444.20 was divided among patrons and nearly
9.9 pounds of milk were needed to produce one
pound of cheese. The amount returned to patrons per cwt. of milk was slightly over 73 cents.
• Shelburne Public School opened on Monday
with five teachers Mr. McMaster, Miss Sutherland, Miss McKinnon, Miss Willson and Miss
Summers.
• One day recently Messrs. Thomas Armstrong and George Morrow, using a horse-power sawing machine, cut 50 cords of wood in the
short space of six hours for Mr. Harry Irwin, of
Mulmur.
100 YEARS AGO
• Owing to the presence of typhoid fever
last summer and fall, the village’s sources of
water supply have been under suspicion. Doctor Smith, Medical Officer of Health, sent samples from each of the three wells to Dr. John A.
Amyot, Head of the Laboratory of the Provincial
Board of Health, to be analyzed. Reports shows
that the water from all of the wells to be free
from infection and to be as good water as it is
possible to get. Of well No. 1, on school grounds
and well No. 3, on Main Street East, Dr. Amyot
says “neither of these specimens show infection.
The bacterial count is low.” With regard to well
No. 2 on Victoria Street, he says: “this specimen
shows neither chemical pollution nor infection
with bacteria of intestinal origin.”
A letter from Dr. J. W. S. McCullough, Chief
Officer of Health for Ontario, sent to Town Clerk
Whalley, said the report “seems to indicate that
they [the typhoid cases] are the result of fly infection. The District Officers recommends that
all outside closets should be dry earth closets of
approved construction and fly-proof; also that
there should be installed a municipal system of
collection of garbage. I should be obliged if your
Board would take this matter up and pass your
recommendation to the Council.”
• In Monday’s Municipal elections J. J. White
was elected Reeve of Orangeville and Thomas Arnott Deputy Reeve. The full Council will
include Mayor J. L. Island, re-elected by acclamation, and Councillors A. D. Holmes, Thomas
Henderson, James Darraugh, L. K. Johnston, B.
McGuire and James Matthews.
75 YEARS AGO
• The first joint services of Shelburne’s United Churches were held Sunday in Knox Church,
presided over by Rev. Harold Hutcheson, formerly minister of Wesley Church. Holy Communion was dispensed at the 11 a. m. service.
• Shelbure Skating Rink opened its doors to
the skating public last Wednesday night and already the committee in charge reports increased
attendance over last year. Skaters will find clean,
warm accommodation in the rink since its interior has been rebuilt. The dressing rooms are
slightly smaller, but are weather proof and particularly warm and cozy.

• Last Saturday’s Toronto Star carried a story
on the inability of Shelburne District Hospital to
find someone willing to open a $25,000 a year
medical practice in Shelburne. The story quotes
hospital administrator E. J. Eldridge as saying he
“can’t understand it. Shelburne has everything
a young doctor could hope for: a modern 30bed hospital, pleasant living conditions 60 miles
northwest of Toronto and 6,000 people who
need another doctor.” He noted that Shelburne
currently only has two doctors, one of whom is
semi-retired. “The last young physician we had
left to take over his father’s practice in Nova
Scotia.” The story said that Dr. Hedley Smith a
40-year-old native of northern Ontario is the
town’s only resident physician and works up to
14 or 15 hours a day, seven days a week.
• The New Year, 1964, came in last week with
a generous snow fall, locally an estimated four
inches, but in the Welland area 12 inches in one
six hour period.
Mr. McCrea sees his education in urban
and regional planning, his years of experience on Mono committees and his almost
40 years working in business as having
made him a strong choice for Mono Council.
“As Chair of the Mono PEAC for many
years, I have a proven ability to work with
people to get things done. I have a proven
commitment to participatory democracy
and the proper process and have put it
into action in our Town. I have been an active participant in the development of our
Town for over 15 years.
“Open and listening government, economic development and residents’ visions
for our Town are all important in municipal government but people are most concerned about their needs. Council has to
understand this and work with residents
to help guide Mono through the next years
of our development.
Nomination papers were also filed on
Jan. 2 by Lorie Haddock, who will seek to
return as mayor, having been edged out by
Laurie Ryan in 2010.
Mayor Ryan told the Citizen Wednesday
that she intends to seek re-election and
would have filed her nomination papers
had the weather been co-operative.
And on Monday, Deputy Mayor Ken
McGhee decided to seek a new four-year
term in the post.

Manac’s Orangeville plant are receiving letters
of permanent termination this week. The announcement was made Monday by company’s
CEO Charles Dutil.
• A fire Saturday evening which caused about
one million dollars damage at Orangeville Precast Concrete, will not slow down the company’s
operations. Despite the damage general manager
Doug Harkness said the company is ready to put
the event behind them and get back to business.

Hockley music student sings with Windsor Symphony
Written By CONSTANCE SCRAFIELD
The life of Julia Obermeyer has been a bit
of a roller coaster recently.
In the fall, she began her Masters Degree
in Fine Arts/ Classical Voice at Western University in London, Ontario.
It is the first period of living away from
home.
For seven years, she was a student of
Mark DuBois and is a member of his Studio
Singers. Although she no longer studies regularly with him now that she is at Western,
she still comes home to sing with him and
the Studio Singers.
In June, as she told us in a telephone interview this week, “Mark called and told me to
save the dates in December but he didn’t say
why. Then, he told me about the show he is
doing with the Windsor Symphony and told
me I had to send a recording of myself. Later
he called to tell me that they love me and I’m
going with him.
“I was so excited – I just started counting
down the days.”
Music has always been a part of Ms. Obermeyer’s life. She is the niece of the well
known Canadian opera singer, Janet Obermeyer.
She recalled, “When I was a little girl, I
remember watching her do the Messiah and
I thought ‘I want to be up there with her.’ I
told my parents I wanted to sing. They gave
me singing lessons when I asked Santa for Wizard,” commented Ms. Obermeyer. “It
them.”
was great experience being on the stage.
For four years, Ms. Obermeyer studied Mark came to one of the performances – the
with Pam Claridge, achieving her grade
three vocal with the Royal Conservatory of
Music (RCM).
When it was time to move on, she told us,
“A friend of my mother’s had seen Mark sing
and knew about his Studio Singers. So, we
gave him a call and he told me to come down
to the church for an audition.”
She laughed at herself, as she related,
“I was so nervous singing for this world
renowned tenor, thinking I hope he likes me
but, right away, he was so funny and so nice
– I felt really relaxed.”
She remembers the day very clearly: “It
was the FIFA world cup and Italy had won
the Cup so my family was all cheering about
the game and I was cheering – I’m singing
with Mark and wants me for his Studio Singers!”
She was 15 years old.
High school saw Ms. Obermeyer studying
drama for the whole four years and, naturally, participating in the productions the
drama department staged for the school.
In grade 11, she told us, they did the
Christmas show. The next year, her grade
12 class took part in the school’s Art Night
in May. During the school year in grade 12,

whole family came. It was so exciting that
they came.”
From high school, she went on to York
University to do her Bachelors’ in Fine Arts/
Classical Voice.
“I only wanted to do classical music –
it’s timeless and such great music,” she
remarked.
Now that she is at Western, “the teachers
are so nice and the students are really proud
to be going there – they really love the university.”
She won a scholarship for Western.
But what of the recent performance with
Mark DuBois and the Windsor Symphony
Orchestra, 60 musicians strong?
It was thrilling. It was only she and Mr.
DuBois singing.
“When that symphony started to play,
with that audience and singing with Mark,
I thought this is what I want to do,” she
assured us. “Every night was so exciting;
each night was different, the audiences were
different.”
There was a small catch to each of the
evenings with a terrible little song about
wanting a hippopotamus for Christmas. Mr.
DuBois faked not being able or wanting to
sing this tune and so called for “a kid from
the audience” to come up and help him.
Sure enough, every show there was a willing youngster who danced on to the stage,

Triple overtime in final game
The Orangeville Districts Secondary
School Bears hockey team captured the title
at the McKerlie Classic tournament in Waterloo over the holidays.
The Bears - who are currently in first
place in the high school Division 4 / 10 league
standings - added another accomplishment
to a stellar season after playing a grueling
triple overtime game to claim the title.
The squad went 2-1 in the first portion of
the round robin tournament finishing sec-
ond in their pool.
Moving on to the quarter-final, the squad
came out on top with a 5-2 win over Guelph’s
JF Ross.
In the semi-final, the Bears left the ice
with a 4-1 win over Elmira Secondary School
to earn the right to advance to the final.

The Orangeville Junior A Flyers didn’t
do themselves any favours in Saturday
nights home game against the New York
Rangers.
In eight powerplay situations, the Rangers scored four times.
While Orangeville filled up the score
sheet with a total of 36 minutes in infractions, North York took only four minors for
the game.
The end result was a 11-2 slam dunk
in a game that head coach Kevin Stone de-

scribed by saying “we
didn’t compete from
the opening face off.”
While Stone is known for keeping a cool
head on the bench, and a good natured demeanour even after the club has struggled in
a game, he found it hard to come up with any
positives after a game that ended with the
Rangers scoring three - two on a powerplay
- in the third period.
North York pretty much had the game at

Flyers take double losses
four times by the 13 minute mark into the
frame.
It was an 8-0 game at just over eight
minutes into the second period.
The Flyers lit up the scoreboard at
the midway mark in the second period on
a goal from Lucas Smilsky.
“They got on us early, the shoulder’s
slumped - the work ethic was not there
today,” Stone said. “They were four for
eight on the powerplay.”
The Rangers spent a lot of time in
the Flyers zone, cycling the puck around
and looking for the shot while the Flyers
scrambled to keep pace.
“You know what? - hard work is contagious, momentum is contagious - it’s
contagious when you get it and it’s contagious when you don’t get it - it’s a flat
line,” Stone said.
On paper, the Rangers are only a middle of the pack team with a 17-20 record,
but for some reason they always win big
over the O-ville squad.
“Every game this year has been close
except for with them. They beat us 7-2,
8-1, and now tonight. They seem to have
our number and pile up on us,” Stone said.
Going into the third period, the Flyers scored number two when Emmerson
Small banged in a rebound on a power-
play.
North York finished it off with three
final goals in the final twenty minutes.
Overall, the Rangers out-shot the Flyers 53-30 for the game.
The Flyers also have a new goalie on
the roster.
Former goalie Taylor Welsh has been
traded to the Wellington Dukes of the
OJAHL East division.
Joining the squad is Rob Kopytek picked up as a free agent from Dryden
Ontario. The final trade deadline for the
OJAHL is January 10.
On the road on Monday, January 6,
the Flyers took a 6-3 loss to the Hamilton
Red Wings.
This time the squad took only six minutes in minors for the game. O-ville goals
came from Scott Goodman in the first,
and Connor Stack and Brandon Gaudetter in the second period.
The Flyers will be in Milton on Friday, January 10, to face the Icehawks.
They will return to home ice at the
Alder Street arena in Orangeville for their
regular Saturday night game on January
11, when they will host the Cobourg Cougars.
The puck drop is scheduled for 7:00
p.m.
Written By JEFF DONER
Since his early teens, Steve Franjic has
been honing his craft in boxing. The 26-yearold hit a career mark when he was victorious in his bid for the Canadian super middleweight championship in Edmonton in
December.
“It was awesome. I’ve been waiting for a
Canadian title fight for quite a while now,”
Franjic said. “There was lots of talk about
it working up to it and we were just waiting
for the opportunity, so when it came I was
excited and then to win it the way I did was
just awesome.”
Franjic was awarded the championship
belt by unanimous decision after a 10-round
battle with Gary Kopas of Saskatoon.
“The guy came to fight, he was there to
win and he really made me earn it. After a
tough fight like that it was really rewarding.”
Franjic is from Orangeville, but he and his
family have found themselves spending a lot
of time in Schomberg since opening up their
restaurant just a few weeks ago.
“In This Corner Bar and Grill” is in the
Brownsville Junction Plaza on Highway 27
in Schomberg and has been keeping Franjic
and his family busy.
When he’s not boxing, he’s there working
hard alongside his brother and dad.
“My brother and I were born into it,” he
said of the restaurant business. “My parents
owned restaurants while we were growing
up – in Mississauga and then in Orangeville
when we moved there, so we’ve always been
involved with it. For a while there we got out
of it, but then this opportunity came up and
we took it.”
Singer performs with Windsor Symphony
upstaged the Maestro and got all the
laughs. Full disclosure, as Mr. DuBois
later announced it, the youngster was his
son, Christopher.
All good things must come to an end,
so they do say, and this was the case with
Ms. Obermeyer’s wonderful experience.
The Sunday night show was not performed at the Arts Centre in Windsor but
at the large St. Joseph’s Church some 40
minutes from the centre of town.
The whole orchestra and retinue moved
to the church for this final show.
“Sunday night, I just tried to enjoy
#27
myself up there. Sunday – it was the last
song – we did The Prayer and, because it
was the end, I could feel my throat getting
a bit tight and I just told myself to focus
and it was alright.”
Ms. Obermeyer’s school career is not
far from being finished.
Her Masters Degree program is two
years and she will begin to audition for
opera companies, looking for work.
“It’s going to be tough,” she acknowledged, “but it’s what I want. I’ve been a
student for so long but I’m realizing I’ve
got to get out there – out in the world.”

FUTURE SHOP - CORRECTION NOTICE
NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE
FUTURE SHOP JANUARY 3 CORPORATE FLYER
In the January 3 flyer, on page 3, the Sony Laptop Featuring Intel® Core™ i5-3337U Processor (Web Code: 10253405/3406) was advertised
incorrectly. Please be advised that this laptop
does NOT have a touchscreen. We sincerely
apologize for any inconvenience this may have
caused our valued customers.
The restaurant will feature all day
breakfast, pub style food, friendly service, is
fully licensed and is the perfect place to stop
in for the game or the big fight.
“The opportunity became available and
we jumped on it. We’re just getting to know
the community now, we didn’t know much
about it, but we’re trying to learn and we’re
all excited about it.”
Franjic admits they are still getting to
know the community, but said everyone is
already showing great support.
“We’re actually really surprised so far,”
he said. “There’s a lot of nice people coming
in and checking us out and we’re getting to
meet them. We’re really happy with how it’s
going.”
The restaurant is no doubt keeping him
busy, but Franjic knows he has his work cut
out for him in defending his title as well as
working hard to fight his way to the next
step in his career.
“I’ll be looking at defending my title
within the next six months. We’re looking at
that and then maybe a North American title
shot or a Commonwealth title shot would be
the next step,” he said.
“The ultimate goal would be to become a
world champion, that’s every boxer’s dream,
but right now we’re just taking it one fight
at a time.”

Americans maintain
sixth place
Road games produce double
wins
Written by BRIAN LOCKHART
The Christmas break didn’t let any rust
build up on the Orangeville Americans’
blades.
The squad returned for 2014 and notched
double wins on the road to maintain their
sixth place standing in the Greater Metro
Hockey League.
The first game of the new year had the
Americans travel to Toronto to take on the
Attack.
After going ahead 3-0 in the first period on
goals from Jimmy Philbin, Daniel Hussey,
and Mike Kurek, the Attack responded in
the second with three of their own.
Orangeville’s Kurek notched a second
frame single to make it a 4-3 game going in
the final twenty minutes.
Toronto scored the only third period goal
to tie the game at four and force an overtime
period that went to a shoot-out.
Nathan King notched the goal to take the
win.
The Americans were back on the ice the
following night when they travelled to Burlington to meet the Halton Ravens.
An Orangeville goal early in the first period from Daniel Hussey gave the Americans
a 1-0 lead going into the second.
The Ravens scored two unanswered goals
in the second period to put the pressure on
Orangeville in the third.
The Americans response was to blow the
game wide open in the final twenty minutes
scoring four goals to leave the ice with a 5-2
win.
Orangeville goals came from Hussey, Alex
Suvega, Christian Tyson, and Robin Vortanov.
That leaves the Americans with a 22-12 record for the season with 45 points.
Seguin is still at the top of the league with
59 points after 31 games, followed by South
Muskoka and the Bradford Bulls.
Temiscaming is in the number four spot
tied with the Toronto Blue Ice Jets.
Orangeville is four points behind to hang
on to sixth place.
The Americans will be back on home ice
at the Alder Street arena for their regular
Wednesday night home game on January 15,
to host the Alliston Coyotes.
The puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Wolves to make guest appearance at Flyers game
The Orangeville Wolves will be making
a special guest appearance this Saturday
night (Jan. 11) at the Orangeville Junior
A Flyers home game against the Coburg
Cougars at the Alder Street arena in Orangeville.
The Wolves are team composed of mentally challenged individuals who love the
sport of hockey and are dedicated to playing the game.
The Wolves practice every week and
have regular games against other teams
in the region as well as compete in tournaments.
After several years of having two or three
teams dominate the league and advance to
the final round, the Georgian Mid Ontario
Junior C Hockey League has produced a
season where the final outcome will only
be decided after a gruelling round of playoff
where most of the teams will have a shot at
advancing through the early rounds.
Of the ten teams in the league, only Midland and Huntsville can’t be considered serious contenders.
Midland as won only five games all season and will most likely be eliminated in the
pre-playoffs playdowns.
Huntsville, another weak team has won
only eight games all season.
But from there, one thing this season has
shown is any team can beat any team at any
time.
The have been quite a few upsets this season. The second place Alliston Hornets have
lost three of their last four games to lesser
teams - at least in terms of how they look
on paper.
Their most recent outing resulted in a 5-3
loss to the Fergus Devils - a squad who has
produced some surprising, although wildly
inconsistent, results this year.
Alliston lost 6-3 to Stayner on Sunday, December 29, and gave up a shut-out on Friday,
December 20, losing 4-0 to the seventh place
This year,
the
Wolves
will be heading for a major
tournament
in
Michigan
where
they
will vie for the top spot and hopefully
bring back a medal.
The Wolves will be playing a short exhibition game in between the first and second periods of Saturday night’s game.
The action gets underway at 7:00 p.m.
in the main rink.
ODSS Bears win tournament
first three periods with a 1-1 tie, the teams
returned to settle the game with overtime.
The first overtime period had five skaters on each side but failed to produce a
winner.
For the second overtime period, it was
a four-on-four match-up and again neither
team could find the back of the net.
Coming out for third OT period, the ice
was wide open with three skaters on each
team.
The three on three produced a game
where speed and accurate passing made
all the difference
The Bears came out on top when Travis
Brown scored the tournament winner after taking the feed from Zack Banks.
The tournament is one of the best in
the CWOSSA area including teams from
Kitchener/Waterloo,
GMOHL shaping up for tightest
playoffs in years
Hornets still in second place
A15
Erin Shamrocks.
Across the board the top four teams are
separated by 15 points. The Penetang Kings
in in first place, having held the spot for
most of the season and now have a 26-8 record including two OT losses and two shootout losses.
The Alliston Hornets were briefly in the
top spot at the start of the season then
dropped to second place and have been in
that slot for the rest of the season. They now
have 49 points and a 24-8 record.
The Schomberg Cougars made great
strides this season after a coaching and
management change and are in third place
with 22 wins after 33 games and 49 points.
The Caledon Golden Hawks are another
team who improved this season after the
edition of head coach Sandy McCarthy to
the bench. The Hawks are in fourth place
with 41 points. Moving down the standings,
the next four are Stayner, Orillia, Erin, and
Fergus. The Stayner squad is right behind
Caledon in the point standings with 38, but
has the potential to come out on top in the
first round. Orillia, Erin and Fergus, are all
wild cards.They can be unpredictable and
have produced some solid wins this year but
at the same time they lack consistency on
the ice.
Moving into the playoffs, expect to see
a lot of close series and some exciting fast
paced hockey.
Cambridge,
Guelph, and
Dufferin
County.
A
total
of 17 teams
were entered
in the tournament.
The Bears
hockey team will be back on home ice at
Tony Rose arena in Orangeville for regular season high school play on Thursday,
January 9. The have three games left on
the regular season schedule including two
road games.
They will host the team from Our Lady
of Lourdes.
The puck drop is scheduled for 2:15
p.m.
