The pictures were taken by Robin Lynch, of ‘Photos by Robin’ and Mr. and Mrs. Claus were on-hand and making magic happen at the floral shop and gift boutique. In this photo, Emily, age 1 1/2, and William, age 3 1/2, weren’t certain of Santa – perhaps they found out they were on the naughty list! For Emily, seeing mom and dad close by was enough to cause panic. This hilarious picture, printed with permission from the parents, is truly what Christmas is all about! I hope it will be clipped and shown at Emily’s wedding in years to come. And don’t worry kids, Santa isn’t scary as long as you listen to your parents!

With a terrific family supporting him, Jesse isn’t lacking in reasons to smile brightly, everyday. BY WENDY GABREK A fundraiser to benefit Jesse Scime and his family is being planned by Beeton councillor Richard Norcross. The event takes place on Saturday, January 24th at the Muddy Water Tavern in Beeton and proceeds from the event will be used towards the purchase of a wheelchair accessible van purchased by the Scime family in late Sep- tember. Jesse, a 14-year-old Beeton resident, has Cerebral Palsy and requires a wheelchair full-time to get around. A Grade 9 student at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School in Tottenham, Jesse is too big and too independent for his old manual chair. Having a power wheelchair equals freedom for the intelligent young man, and is saving his mother, Sally, from having to transfer him to and from his chair throughout the day. When the Scime’s first purchased the wheelchair, it was transported with the use of a trailer. Jesse would still need to be transfered into the car, and at 115 lbs. it was proving a difficult task for his mother. Shopping online, the Scime’s found a used Honda van for sale in the United States that would accommodate Jesse, and his wheelchair, with the press of a button. Since the Scime’s took possession of the van Jesse can get in and out of the vehicle by himself. This means that Jesse can take his power chair more places, more often – which is opening doors for the honour roll student, literally. Beeton councillor Richard Norcross became involved with the Scime family after meeting Jesse at a Career Day event. The two hit it off, and Jesse took time to write Mr. Norcross after the meeting. His letter to Councillor Norcross read as follows: Dear Mr. Norcross I recently met you at career day and learn the life of a politician. Your presentation was not only inspiring to me but also my classmates. It was a pleasure meeting you. I will tell you a little about myself. I am 14 years old and going into grade 9 at St. Thomas Aquinas in Tottenham. I currently live with my mom, dad and 15 year old brother in Beeton. I was born at 27 weeks and have a disability called Ce- rebral Palsy. My main mode of transportation has been a manual wheelchair as my leg do not work. As a result of being in a manual chair my friends have had to push me around in school. To gain my independence and keep up with my friends and move from classroom to classroom independently the physio therapist and doctor recommended I move to a power wheelchair. It took a lot of persuasion from the physiotherapist but I finally agree to move to the power chair. Although I use my manual wheelchair in the house my main transportation mode will be the power wheelchair. At the present time transporting the power chair is not so easy because it weighs 475 pounds with me in it. My parents are having to use a trailer to move my power chair to where I want to go. They also have to physically transfer me into our vehicle. I am getting to the point now where is very difficult for my mom as well as my dad to lift me into the vehicle. Therefore we are in the process of looking for a accessible vehicle to be able to transport myself and my power chair around with 2014 Sienna SE Stk#CP3637 | 10,280km BLACK FRIDAY $35,912 * PRE-OWNED SALES EVENT From November 27th to November 29th, visit Hallmark Toyota to receive fantastic savings on a wide range of certified pre-owned vehicles.

My parents and I have researched used accessible vehicles but haven’t really had any luck finding an appropriate vehicle that will last us for years to come. The cost of a brand new accessible van is in the range of $50,000 to $60,000. With other expenses related to my care and independence this accessible vehicle would be a big burden on my family. I appreciate the offer you made to my parents to help and provide in anyway you can financial assistance to purchase this accessible vehicle. Thank you, Jesse Scime To help offset the loans necessary to buy the van, Councillor Norcross will host a fundraiser for Jesse on January 24th. Additional details to follow as they are determined.

Current deputy warden Harry Hughes will not be running again and recently decided not to run for warden. “It would be good to have someone from the southern part of the county as either warden or deputy warden,” said Dowdall on the weekend. Tay mayor Scott Warnock has announced that he will be running for the deputy warden’s position. There has not been a warden or deputy warden from the southern part of Simcoe County since 2005 when Dennis Roughley of Bradford West Gwillimbury was elected to the position. He served for one year. Wasaga Beach mayor Cal Patterson as served as warden for the past five years but was defeated for mayor in this fall’s election. Basil Clarke, new elected mayor of Ramara, will be running for warden. Gerry Marshall, mayor of Pentanguishene, would not confirm rumours that he will also be making a run for the position.

Municipal Affairs Minister Ted McMeekin confirmed on October 29 that the province would not be making any contribution to tornado relief in the township because of the township’s strong financial status and the over $100,000 raised for tornado relief fund.

The animal was released after rehabilitation. Dear editor: In reference to Rafal Kubats letter Re: Action demanded against coyotes. After reading Rafals story about a coyote who simply walked up to him and yanked a little dog away from his grip while on its leash, is very odd to say the least. I can’t help wondering why those little light weight Yorkis weren’t lifted off the ground by their adult male owner. My guess as a wildlife rehabilitator is, the coyote would have retreated at that point. Perhaps this par- ticular coyote has become accustomed to being in close proximity to humans, especially due to their shrinking habitat due to human overpopulation. This could have been the result of an intentional or unintentional feeding by a nearby neigh- bor which changes their proximity tolerance. A case such as this is quite atypical to their natural behavior. I have walked the forested trails around my house in coyote country for 27 years with my small dog off leash and never had any problems. There is plenty of evidence that they live here but they have never come close to us or our dogs, let alone an attack. Need we remind people that these wild animals were here first. The nocturnal, shy coyote is incredibly beneficial to the natural ecosystem. They are a vital keystone predator keeping rodents and small mammals in check. They are known as “natures clean up crew”. Coyotes mate for life and are devoted parents to their offspring. As omnivores, their home range is anywhere from 3–50 square miles. Human fear, misunderstanding and lack of knowledge about coyote behavior and habitat have lead to 50–70% of young coyotes being killed by humans before they reach adulthood. This isolated incident does not justify declaring war on coyotes when economic growth set to decline Dear editor: Buried in the federal government’s fall fiscal update was some major news: economic growth in Canada will decline year-after-year for the next five years. Let me say that again: from 2015 to 2019, growth will decline each and every year. Faced with this sad prognosis, the Conservatives are putting all their eggs in the income splitting basket, a plan that will consume $2.4 billion borrowed dollars this year and $2 billion every year going forward, squeezing out room for a growth agenda. The Conservative income splitting policy is unfair: it does nothing for 85% of Canadians. And for 15% who do benefit, the largest gains blood inventory in critical condition Dear editor: On behalf of Canadian Blood Services, I’d like to sincerely thank residents of this community who responded to our recent urgent appeal for blood. When it really counted, you stepped up and helped ensure we could continue to meet patient needs across the country. We are fortunate to have such dedicated donors, some of whom experienced longer donation times during this critical period. Thanks to you we are no longer in a critical situation. That doesn’t mean our work together stops here; the need for blood is constant. We look forward to welcoming regular donors back again soon. If you’re a new donor we hope you will consider making blood donation a regular part of your life. We want donors to have the best experience possible. We’ve heard your suggestions and will continue to improve. To begin, we’ve introduced Wi-Fi in our permanent clinics, created a new website that is mobile friendly, introduced a mobile app called GiveBlood and started publishing our weekly inventory online so it’s even easier for you to take action. We have also introduced a new eligibility quiz to help you determine whether you can donate. To learn more visit www.blood.ca Once again, thank you for your recent support and for helping to save or improve the life of a fellow Canadian. Mark Donnison, Vice-President, Donor Relations Canadian Blood Services go to the wealthiest. Single moms and dads, parents with similar incomes within the same tax bracket, those on low incomes, those without children or whose kids are at the expensive post-secondary level—all get nothing from Income Splitting. Income splitting is too expensive, it’s unfair and it’s anti-growth at a time when growth is what Canadians need. Instead of lavishing benefits on those who need them the least, we need to help our economy expand and give all Canadians a real and fair chance at success. Two key elements of that agenda are infrastructure and education. Investments in infrastructure will create jobs today and lay the foundations for greater prosperity tomorrow. By helping our cities build durable tools like better transit and water systems, we will reduce traffic gridlock and give a substantial and sustainable boost our productivity and quality of life. Seven out of ten future new jobs in Canada will require post-secondary education. If we can raise our post-secondary education attainment rate to 70 percent, there are many preventative, non-lethal measures to be implemented. To help minimize humanwildlife encounters, here are a few basic tips: • Never feed wildlife, keep pets in-doors at night, keep pet food in-doors, keep trash secured, keep farm animals in covered enclosures constructed with heavy mesh wire, teach children to safely admire wildlife from afar, • Always provide an escape route and never corner them. Never run, instead back away slowly or make yourself large and shout. • Hazing are techniques proven to be successful as a deterrent to restore the coyotes natural avoidance to humans. Some include: noisemakers ex. voice, air horn, pot and pan, cans full of pebbles, projectiles (around not at the coyote) ex. balls, sticks, popping umbrellas, spraying with a hose (in warm months) or water gun. Wildlife is not a ‘nuisance’ but rather a precious gift that we need to better understand so we may live in harmony together. Sylvia Penny we’ll have a workforce ready to meet our future job market needs. We don’t have to settle for gradual economic decline. Investments in education and infrastructure are two essential components for the prosperity of our middle class and our collective future.

We saw the opening of the new high school, with the new library, near the beginning of the term and we had the challenges of dealing with the Angus tornado and the Plowing Match at the end of the term.” “I’m pleased that we have been able to make progress in a number of areas and keep our taxes relatively low,” he said. Deputy mayor Sandie Macdonald said that she felt that “it had been a good four years which I hope that we will be able to continue. From the results of last month’s election, I think that people are very happy with us.” The inaugural meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 3 at Living Faith Church in Baxter at 2 p.m. The first regular Council and Committee of the Whole meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on December 17.

Page 8 – November 27, 2014 – The TIMES Bus trip to Casino Rama to feed families, and support teens at Christmas Photo By Wendy GaBRek Bus tRiP to Rama helPs lions CluB helP teens – Tottenham resident Eva Bradley presented a cheque for $504 to Tottenham & District Lions Club Inc. representative Nick Giannopoulos last Friday. Bradley raised the funds through a bus trip to Casino Rama that took place on November 8th. Bradley has been raising funds for local not-for-profits – including Heart & Stroke, Terry Fox, Painted Rock Animal Farm and the Our Town Food Bank – since 2008. The funds will be used to buy gift cards for teens, as part of the Christmas Basket Program that supports local families in need during the holiday season. By Wendy GaBRek Tottenham resident Eva Bradley has been raising funds for local not-for-profit organizations since 2008 – simply, she says, because she can. Over the years, Bradley has donated funds, raised through bus trips to Casino Rama, to several organiza- tions including the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Ontario, the Our Town Food Bank, The Terry Fox Foundation, Painted Rock Animal Farm, and the Tottenham & District Lions Club Inc. “First I’d like to thank The Times for helping me to spread the word about the bus trips,” said Bradley. “The support of the local paper has been invaluable.” “I’d also like to thank everyone who came on the bus this time – we had 52 people participate in our November, 2014, trip – because without you, and the friends you brought along, these fundraisers wouldn’t be possible,” she added. Bradley says she organizes the bus trips to Rama because it’s something she likes to do. Funds raised from the November 8th departure were split between the Our Town Food Bank, that supports 100 local families monthly, and the Tottenham & District Lions Club Inc. in support of the Christmas Baskets program. The groups received $514 and $504 respectively last Friday. The cheque presentations were photographed by this paper, because it’s important, says Bradley, that the bus trip participants know that the money is going where it’s supposed to be going. Bradley does not keep any of the money raised for herself, and even pays out of pocket for the printing of flyers and other small expenses to ensure the bus trips can happen. The next trip to Casino Rama will take place in the spring of 2015. Tickets are $20 each (which includes $5 towards the cost of the bus). Participants are encouraged to use their Casino Rama Player Cards so the fundraiser could include a free buffet (as it once did) again. Casino Rama reimburses a portion of the cost of the ticket price with freebies, determined by the casino. Proceeds from the next bus trip will be donated to Matthews House Hospice and My Sister’s Place, the local women and children’s shelter. “I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and I look forward to seeing everybody on the bus again next spring,” said Bradley.

The TIMES – November 27, 2014 – Page 13 NEW TECUMSETH TIMES Coyotes give up third Hornets claim back–to–back wins over the weekend period lead to Bradford BY BRIAN LOCKHART They fought back, but a late third period blitz by the Bradford Rattlers handed the Alliston Coyotes a 10–7 loss Thursday (Nov. 20.) night at the New Tecumseth Recreation Complex in Alliston. At the end of the first period the Coyotes were trailing 4–2 to the third place Rattlers. After a late period goal from Angrej Jamnicky, Coyotes forward Nikita Sidenko made a class move in front of the net when he took a shot then picked up on his own rebound for the second shot that made it to the back of the Rattlers net. Feeling the pressure in the second frame, the Coyotes scored three, verses two more from the Bradford squad to close the gap and make it a 6–5 game going into the final 20 minutes of play. Alliston’s Austin Cunningham and Oleg Khalemin both scored early in the third period – Cunningham notching his only 15 seconds in the period followed by Khalemin’s goal just :50 seconds later – to give the Coyotes a one goal lead. From there, the Coyotes ran into trouble giving up four goals to end the game 10–7 for the Rattlers. It was loss number ten for the Coyotes and dropped them down to a .500 record for the season with 20 points – good for a seventh place in the Greater Metro Hockey League’s South Division. Over all the Tottenham Steam continue to dominate the League with 38 points and only a single loss after 20 games played this year. The Temiscaming Titans hold second place with 33 points, followed by the Toronto Blue Ice Jets with 32 points. The Coyotes will be back on home ice for their regular home game tonight (Nov. 27) when they will host the Toronto Ice Jets. The puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. PHOTOS BY BRIAN LOCKHART The Alliston Coyotes host the Bradford Rattlers at the New Tecumseth Recreation Complex on Thursday, November 20. The Coyotes tied the game after trailing in the first two periods, then gave up the lead when Bradford scored four in the third period to leave with a 10–7 win. PHOTOS BY BRIAN LOCKHART The Alliston notched four more points over the weekend with back to back wins on the road and at home. Friday (Nov. 21) night’s game against the Orillia Terriers ended with a 6–1 Alliston victory. BY BRIAN LOCKHART The Alliston Junior C Hornets are now nine points ahead of the Penetang Kings and the Stayner Siskins who are tied for second place in the Georgian Mid Ontario Junior C Hockey League. Penetang dropped their road game to Huntsville on Friday night. The Kings went into a nose dive at mid season losing six of their last seven games after a strong start in the early going and moving into first place in the League. The Hornets have been like a rocket this year – once taking off they have been steadily moving ahead and gaining speed with every game and overtaking the Penetang squad in the standings. The squad gained four more points over the weekend beginning with a 6–2 win over the Schomberg Cougars in Schomberg on Thursday, November 20. After playing to a 1–1 tie in the first period, the Hornets notched two more in the second frame and ended the night with three powerplay goals in the third period. Returning to home ice in Alliston the following night, (Fri. Nov. 21) they left the ice with an easy 6–1 win over the Orillia Terriers. “When we needed to put the puck on the net, we did,” Said Hornets goalie Tyler Brindle. “It was more of a slow paced game, I guess we kind of played down to their level.” Orillia has been playing a .500 season this year, and really had trouble getting past the Hornets defence in Friday’s game. “At the beginning of the game, I saw a lot more (action),” Brindle said. “As the game went on, it started to slow down a bit.” Alliston goals came from Nic Archibald, in the first. A single each from Mark O’Donnell and Jacob Tuck, in the second. And Nick Arcan, Brendan Spencer, and a second from O’Donnell in the final frame. The squad was pumped after Friday’s win and Brindle said the squad isn’t looking back at all. “It feels really good,” He said. “When we were in second for a while, it was driving us a little bonkers. Now that we’re in first, we’re not looking behind us, we’re going to keep going and building on what we’ve got.” At 21 games into the sea- son, forward Nic Archibald is leading the pack in the Hornets camp with 33 points – 11 goals and 22 assists. Close behind is Left winger Mark O’Donnell with 16 goals and 14 assists – good for 30 points. Jamie Bennett has 26 points as does Tanner Dockerty. The Hornets will be back on home ice this Friday, November 28, to host the Midland Flyers. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Page 14 – November 27, 2014 – The TIMES Photo submitted brinG non-Perishable food items to the Parade – The JAK Fund’s food drive for the local food banks was a success at the Alliston parade!

May 19, 1966 - November 28, 2013. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, It’s just the pain of losing you, That never goes away, Though the tears in my eyes don’t always glisten, And my face not always sad, There is never a night or morning, I don’t think of the son I had. Not a day do I forget you, In my heart you are always here, For I love you and I miss you, As this ends the very first year. We all miss you so much, Love always, Your mother, the Gentle and Timewell Families. C48 805 HEALTH/ FITNESS SERENITY HEALTH. Colon Hydrotherapy. Effectively removes toxins. Increases energy.
