Facing dilemmas and facilitating change
BY WENDY GABREK
When you have big decisions to make in your life,
how do you handle it?
For me, I tend to withdraw
within, separating myself
from the unnecessary and
reflecting on my situation
until an obvious, or forced,
answer results.
Praying for signs from
above, or the universe to
open a pathway in front of
me, I often dread making
big decisions, which in turn
means I’m often left stuck
with the consequence of indecision.
I’m currently reading the
book ‘Always Change a Losing Game’. The title of the
book, a play on words from
the sporting world, drew me
in. Just the word ‘change’
alone was the subject matter
I needed to read up on.
Change is difficult for everyone – especially people
who don’t like change (lol).
I currently have three major
life decisions I am processing. All involve change and
all are linked together by
just a few degrees of separation. By changing one, or
all of my situations, there
will be a trickle-down affect – a ripple – into many
areas of my life. I am being
vague because I do not want
my personal dilemmas made
public, but I do want to discuss the process used to determine: a. When does one
know a change is necessary;
b. How you go about implementing said change; c. How
far do you go without risking
a ‘Jenga’, or toppling, affect.
I have thought about the
easiest route to determine
the answers I so desire.
Prayer is my first resource.
But for me, prayer is difficult. I often get distracted,

or my thoughts wander and
I realize that I am no longer
praying, but instead making
a grocery or ‘things to do’
list in my head. Meditation
is another way to achieve answers. Again, it is very loud
in my head, making mediation a chore – this is an area
I could focus more on, but
I don’t. Consulting with a
psychic is another way. This
method, quite different from
the first two options, has always intrigued me. I can’t
say I know any psychics,
and have no idea what they
would cost. Plus, I believe
that they only focus on ‘generalizations’ and when you
need the specifics, that just
won’t do. I have also considered psychotherapy as
an option. Sometimes, starting from the beginning to
explain how you’ve arrive
at your current predicament
sounds exhausting. I tried
group therapy a few years
back, and that wasn’t for me
either (the large group of
people who gathered weekly
seemed to have much larger
problems than myself –
dealing with murdered loved
ones, etc. – and I felt out
of place). I also tried counselling, which could have
been effective, but talking to
someone once a month on a
timer set for an hour doesn’t
accomplish much.
If I were a teenager I’d
have a guidance counsellor
to talk to. If I were a child,
I’d have a parent to guide
me. As the parent of youngsters, I can easily steer the
lives of my children – seeing
clearly what they must do to
achieve their goals and better themselves. But I am no
longer a child, and the parent
I trusted is deceased.
Where does this leave people like myself? A life coach
can be an option (if you have
the money and the time), but
otherwise as adults, we’re on
our own. And, because our
decisions always affect our
children, we usually remain
stagnant, knowing a change
is necessary but not having
the resources to affect that
change, or the understanding
of how the change will affect
your destiny.
When I visualize making
a change – especially a dramatic one – I am standing on
a cliffs edge. The mountain
and my surroundings are
gray but my wings are multicoloured. I leap without fear,
not knowing where I will
land, and not really caring
at the time. I feel elated and
free. The dream sequence
ends there. This tells me
that the journey ahead isn’t
as important as the launch.
Perhaps this is why I am failing to launch in my life. The
jump is just a fantasy, but the
predictability and stability of
the solid earth under my feet
keeps me planted. I’m not
afraid of losing, or falling,
or failing – that’s not what
holds me back. I’m a survivor, and I know I will always
bounce back. When I break
it all down, it must be laziness. That’s the only thing
that makes sense to me. My
inability to act stems from
my refusal to take that step
forward. The consequences
of my inaction cannot be
measured – who knows what
I’m missing out on – but the
consequences of any action
I could take seem too overwhelming to deal with.
Change: necessary, needed, not happening. Hmm.

Controlling traffic in
Beeton differently
Dear editor:
I was the main voice, on
behalf of my neighbours,
behind having the stop signs
removed. I am sorry that
you feel this is a questionable move, however, I am
not sorry they are being removed. I don’t normally get
involved in local government but this has impacted
my and my neighbours’ lives
immensely. The noise of
trucks squealing and braking
infringes on New Tecumseth
noise bylaws. (My son monitored it with a noise meter).
To say remove all the stops
signs is ridiculous, 100 to
200 trucks per day do not
stop on the side streets of
Beeton, just local traffic.
The initial traffic study was
misinterpreted and did not
justify a 4 way at this intersection. There is far more
pedestrian traffic at Centre
Street (2 pedestrians were
hit there this past summer).
Dayfoot is also a bad intersection.
In regards to speed bumps,
I was asked for other suggestions, and stated that Kleinberg and Keswick had installed them. I also suggested
they lower speed limits to 60
on Beeton Rd and then lower
it to 40 coming through town
(before the South Simcoe
tracks) so that trucks would
not have to brake so close to
those residents. A crosswalk
at Tecumseth was another
suggestion.
Safety is a big concern and
has never been overlooked.
My grandchildren cross here
regularly. This has never
been an unsafe intersection. More people have been
frightened to cross here now,
not trusting the vehicles to
stop. There has been a heavy
police presence to monitor
the 4 way but generally in off
hours and weekends when
there is less traffic.
I just feel there is a better
solution for everyone. Richard Norcross has planned a
meeting in March for residents to offer their suggestions.

Hornets leading 2–0 in semifinal series with Stayner
came out on top after a stellar third period that saw the
Alliston squad break a 2–2
tie and score three unanswered goals to take the win.
Alliston’s first period goal
came from David Leblanc.
Bobby Sloan notche the
single second period Alliston goal.
In the final 20 minutes,
Alliston markers came from
Nic Archibald on a powerplay, Joe Cochrane, and
Mark O’Donnell got the final game goal.
The final was a 5–2 win
for Alliston and a 2–0 series
lead.
There series will return to
Alliston for game three on
Tuesday, February 25, with
results coming in after press
time.
Game four will take place
in Stayner on Thursday, February 27.
Game five, if necessary,
will be in Alliston on Friday,
February 28, at the New Tecumseth Recreation Centre.
The puck drop is schedule
for 7:30 p.m.
Coyotes advance to next round
By Brian Lockhart
If there’s one thing that’s
important to hockey – it’s
ice.
In a strange turn of events,
game two of the Alliston /
Stayner semifinal series on
Sunday was cancelled with
less than eight minutes left
on the clock in the third period after problems with the
ice plant at the Stayner arena
left patches of concrete visible through melting ice.
Officials stopped the
game, and rightly so, due to
safety reasons. You just can’t
play a game with the puck
skipping over patches of cement and players doing face
plants when a skate blade
comes to a sudden stop.
While other games have
played the remaining minutes of an interrupted game
prior to the start of the next
scheduled game – for reasons such as a sudden power-failure – OHA rules state
that when a game is cancelled due to unplayable ice
conditions, the game must
be replayed in its entirety.
Considering Stayner was
leading 3–2 late in the third
period, it must have been
disappointing for Siskins
fans to see that lead disappear.
Going into Sunday’s
game, the Hornets were
leading the series 1–0 after
leaving home ice on Friday,
with a convincing but shaky
third period win after giving
up three late game goals that
almost spelled trouble for
Alliston.
The Hornets blasted into
game one scoring five goals
in the first period and allowing a single from the Stayner
squad.
After a scoreless second
frame, things got nervous in
the Hornets camp when the
Siskins notched three goals
by the time the clock hit the
10:38 mark to make it a 5–4
game with almost nine minutes remaining.
Mark O’Donnell notched
a powerplay single to give
the Hornets a two goal lead
to end the game at 6–4 and
give Alliston the series lead.
“I think we just got a little
too confident and stopped
playing our game after the
first period when we were
up 5–1,” Said Hornets forward Jamie Bennett. “We let
them back in the game – we
should have kept pressing
them.”
The plan, Bennett said,
was to go out hard in the
first period and take an early
lead.”
“We wanted to go out and
play as hard as we could.”
With Stayner catching
up in the third, the Alliston
bench called a time out to regroup.
“We had to go back out
and play like we did in the
first period,” Bennett commented, “We’ve to got play
a full sixty minutes when
we go to Stayner on Sunday,
like we did today in the first,
and we’ll come out with a
‘W’.”
The squads returned to
Stayner on Monday night
(Feb. 24) to replay game
two.

The Alliston Coyotes celebrate their first round series win over
the Orangeville Americans at the end of game four of the series. The Americans won in four games to earn the right to
advance to the next round.
By Brian Lockhart
The Alliston Coyotes will
advance to the next round of
the Greater Metro Hockey
League playoffs after winning their first round series against the Orangeville
Americans in four games.
The Coyotes came up
short in game one, taking a
4-3 loss to the Orangeville
team on Wednesday, February 19.
From there, the Alliston
squad took control of the series winning three straight.
Game two on Thursday,
February 20, ended 7-6 after the Coyotes battled back
from a three goal deficit
when they entered the third
period with Orangeville
leading 5-2.
Four third period Coyotes goals tied the game at
six and forced an overtime
period that didn’t produce a
winner.
The game went to a shootout and Alliston took the win
on a goal from Derek Van
Ness.
Returning to the New
Tecusmeth Recreation Centre in Alliston for game
three, the Coyotes again
came from behind to take
the win.
After trailing 2–1 in the
first period, and 3–2 in the
second frame, the Coyotes
took the win with a three
goal final period that included a short handed goal from
Jacob Vander Zaag.
Game four had the series
return to Orangeville for an
afternoon game on Monday,
February 24.
Orangeville opened the
scoring in the first period on
a powerplay.
The second period saw
the game open up when the
Coyotes scored five, to Orangevilles two, to make it a
5–3 game going into the final
period.
The Americans battled
back scoring two, to come
close to challenging but
three more Alliston goals
capped the game including a
final empty netter when the
O-ville squad put six attackers on the ice.
The game ended with an
8–5 win for Alliston.
The Coyotes will now
have to wait out the other series to see who they will play
in the next round.

If you’ve ever been to a
local festival that featured
an historical reenactment,
you have probably seen Peter Monahan wearing his
uniform of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment.
Mr. Monahan is a person
who takes history seriously.
He is a teacher of history
who not only has immense
knowledge of the subject, he
lives it through his involvement with groups and museums.
The Museum on the
Boyne honoured his work
by inducting Mr. Monahan
to the Wall of Honour at the
Museum during a special
ceremony on Saturday, February 22.
The Wall of Honour inducts one person each year
during Heritage Month and
recognizes citizens who have
expanded history knowledge
of the area.
As a teacher, Mr. Monahan had a career of 35 years
teaching history, law, and
philosophy in New Tecumseth, Toronto, Alberta, and
Nigeria.
He retired after his most
recent position as a history
teacher and librarian at St.
Thomas Aquinas Catholic
Secondary School in Totten-
ham.
He has been involved with
the Museum on the Boyne
since 1995 and works part
time at the Museums of Mississauga as an historical interpreter.
Currently he is writing a
book on the role of the Royal
Newfoundland Regiment’s
involvement in the War of
1812.
While having knowledge
of a subject is one thing, being immersed in your work
as an active participant like
he does when it comes to
re-enacting history, brings
a whole new perspective to
the young people he teaches
and volunteers with.
“I do it because it’s fun,”
He said of working with
kids.
“In the next couple of
years you may be seeing me
in a First World War uniform,” He hinted of his next
venture into re-enacting history.
The induction ceremony to
the Wall of Fame was attend-
ed by many local dignitaries
including New Tecumseth
Mayor, Mike MacEachern,
town councillors, and Kellie
Leitch, Member of Parliament for Simcoe–Grey.

Local man selected as director for upcoming feature film
Corey Saunders, a Beeton
resident and a recent graduate from the Television and
New Media Production Advanced Diploma program at
Loyalist College has been
selected from hundreds of
applicants from Ontario
Colleges, Universities, and
emerging talent to fill the
role of director for the upcoming feature film titled
‘Canoe: Icon of the North’.
Symbolically and func-
tionally, the canoe is many
things to the people of Canada, in addition to it being a
major element in Canadian
history and our Canadian
heritage; for some, it is also
an element of competitive
international sport; a vessel
to engage with our landscape and connect with nature; a link and connection to
personal family memories;
and a vehicle for wilderness
travel.
Corey Saunders will contribute as a major part of
the key creative team, with
his role as director in this
uniquely Canadian film.
With his crew, he will set out
and record the value of the
canoe as an important part
of Canadian heritage, and a
true symbol of Canada.
“I love telling stories that
have inspirational meanings. Film production is my
passion, and I am excited to

Alliston resident celebrates 100th birthday
Photo By Emily Wood
hAPPy oNE hUNdREdth – Norah Bullock spends time with her daughter Patricia almost every day. The two are more like
friends, than mother and daughter.
By Emily Wood
Norah Bullock is a woman
of many talents. Now at 100
years old, she’s had a lot of
time to hone those skills and
interests.
She grew up as an only
child in Toronto, where her
father worked as a shoe
salesman. When she married
her husband Thomas “Edward” Bullock, she quickly
got used to a much larger
family since Edward was
one of eight children.
Norah met her husband
in 1936 on the way to Bible
Class. A modern woman, she
was the one who asked him
out.
“I was just going back to
Bible Class and I saw him.
He said where are you going? And I said, I’m going
to St. Mike’s, why don’t you
come?”
They married a year later,
she in a gown that she sewed
herself. Since her teens she
has been a talented seamstress, and made clothes over
the years for her children to
wear. She still has her first
sewing machine.
Norah and Edward lived
all over, from Ajax to Ohio
and finally Fenelon Falls
where they started their own
business. It was a gift shop
and wood working business,
set up in an old school house.
Their most notable cre-
ation was a spoon shelf designed for small teaspoons
that people were just starting
to collect as souvenirs. Their
spoon shelves sold in stores
like Sears, Eaton’s, and the
Hudson Bay Company.
Even after her husband’s
death, Norah continued to
run the shop on her own until her retirement four years
later.
At one time, Norah was an
avid golfer. She played twice
a week at the club she belonged to, Shanty Bay Golf
Club, until she was 85. At
that time she broke her ankle
on the course stepping into a
gofer hole. Her golfing days
were over.
But she also loved bowling, curling and playing
bridge. She continues to play
cards to this day, playing
most days with her daughter
Patricia, who lives nearby.
The two have always been
very close, Patricia says,
more like friends than mother and daughter.
Norah also has two other
children, a son who lives in
Stratford, Ontario and another daughter in the United
States.
Their family has continued to grow and Norah now
has nine grandchildren and
12 great grandchildren.
Since her retirement she
has spent a lot of time travel-
ling with family and friends,
visiting Canada from coast
to coast, as well as Australia, New Zealand, Portugal,
Spain, England, Ireland,
Scotland, France, Holland,
Switzerland and Hawaii.
Her days now consist
mostly of socializing and
playing cards, with Patricia
and others at her retirement
home. Patricia visits her
mother almost every day to
play cards and chat. Norah
also talks to her two remaining sister-in-laws on the
phone almost every day, her
closest friends.
Norah is a modest, but her
daughter speaks highly of
her skills and experiences.
Her incredible life will be
celebrated with a centennial
birthday party on Saturday,
March 1.
Born March 1, 1914, the
birthday celebration will be
held on Norah’s actual birthday. Norah will be joined by
friends and family, and she
is looking forward to seeing
everybody. Norah’s great
grandson will show a video
he put together, featuring
photos of Norah’s life and
100 birthday’s passed.

Job Fair helps students find work

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE – Tina Varnai and Dianne Sceviour of the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka took dozens of applications as the YMCA took part in the job fair in Alliston for the first time. They even took the ones that didn’t qualify for summer
positions to pass on to other departments.
BY EMILY WOOD
More students in the area
have part time jobs lined up
for this summer, thanks to a
student job fair hosted last
week at the Gibson Centre in
Alliston.
FOCUS Community Development Corporation host-

job fair, with 15 employers
and more than 100 people
there to take advantage of
the opportunity.
Many of the students who

high school students, but
the fair also coincides with
Reading Week for postsecondary schools. This is
planned every year so that
college and university students can try to find summer jobs. People were able

Employers also find the
job fair to be helpful with

they find most of their employees for summer programs at job fairs.

Fearless founder
of Elizabeth Fry
of Simcoe County
steps down
Paula King, the passionate, persistent and fearless executive director of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Simcoe
County, has retired from the organization that she founded
and led for 25 years.
“Joyce Kope and I started Elizabeth Fry because there
was an obvious need for advocacy and support for institutionalized and marginalized women in our communities,” said Paula. “We began by offering court support and
now have a building that offers housing and programs for
women involved with the criminal justice system, beds
for homeless women, preventive programs for those at
risk of being involved with the criminal justice system
and staff who advocate for those currently institutionalized in our prisons.
“Elizabeth Fry offers hope to women most of us unthinkingly turn our backs upon, the poor, the mentally ill,
and the addicted. I’m so proud of the important work we
have done over the years.”
Paula and Joyce started Barrie’s Elizabeth Fry Society
in 1989 with a settlement King received after a car crash.
Having worked for 15 years in a probation and parole capacity, Paula quit her job, intending to offer women court
support services. Need and demand for services over the
years, along with funding from Canada Mortgage and
Housing, and support from the community, eventually led
to establishment of the current home, a 27-bed shelter that
is also a federal and provincial halfway house.
The growth and operation of Elizabeth Fry has been far
from easy. When the current home was ready and residents
moved in, a labour strike shut the doors for six months.
Paula and the residential director worked 24-hour shifts,
missing family birthdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas
until the strike was settled. The room that Paula slept in
has now been named The Paula King Room in honour of
her selfless dedication.
“Paula’s accomplishments, the founding of Elizabeth
Fry, and her awareness raising and support for those in
need is really remarkable,” said Chantal Ogrodnick, president of the board of directors for the Elizabeth Fry Society
of Simcoe County. “It takes a pretty incredible person to
make something like this a reality and she is leaving a
wonderful legacy to the community.”
All are welcome at an open house to celebrate the
achievements and retirement of Paula. The open house is
at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 65 Amelia St., Barrie, Friday Feb. 28 between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.

County slides in terms of waste diversion
RiChARd BlAnChARd
Simcoe County continues
to rank among the top ten
municipalities in Ontario
in terms of diversion but its
ranking has slid over the past
four years.
Simcoe County had the
second highest rating among
216 municipalities in 2009
and 2010 but slid to fourth
place in 2011 and seventh
place in 2012.
The problem isn’t that residents aren’t diverting any
less material but that other
municipalities have moved
towards expanded diversion
program which include pet
waste and diapers, charging
residents for each bag of
garbage disposed and going
to pickup every two weeks.
The City of Guelph now
recycles pet waste and diapers and is only picking up
waste every two weeks. It
has the highest diversion rate
in the province at 67%.
Simcoe County’s diversion rate has remained been
at around 57% for the past
four years.
Midland deputy mayor
Stephan Kramp told his
fellow councillors that the
county was falling back and
that blame had to lie on their
shoulders.
“Staff has made its recommendations and we have rejected them. We are the team
on the ice which has to make
the changes,” he said.
“To use the Olympics
analogy, we are not getting
the medals that we used to
get.”

Simcoe County urged to move towards tighter controls on waste disposal
RIChaRD blanChaRD
Simcoe County should
move towards pickup of garbage only every two weeks
according to a county ratepayers group dedicated to
the concept of zero waste.
Peter Stubbins of Zero
Waste Simcoe told county
councillors last week that the
county should move ahead
with
recommendations
submitted by staff in 2013
which included biweekly
pickup, the compulsory use
of clear bags and payment,
through a tag system, for
each bag of garbage which is
placed at the curb.
Simcoe County council
rejected the move towards
reduced pickup last year
and some county councillors wondered if increasing
controls on waste disposal
would only mean more trash
in the county forests and
roadsides and on private
property.
“Will we have to prepare
for irresponsible people’s
desire to get rid of their
waste Will they be just taking their waste to the nearest
commercial bin and filling it
up,” said Collingwood mayor Sandra Cooper.
“People will get used to
these new rules,” said Stub-
bins who cited the experience
of other Ontario municipalities which have implement
similar restrictions. “The
story tells me that they will
adapt,” said Stubbins who
noted that similar worries
were expressed when the
county went from allowing
two bags per week to one
bag per week.
Stubbins also said that his
organization also wants the
county expand to its collec-
tion of organics to include
pet waste, diapers which
make up 13% of the current
garbage flow.
“I think that would make
the move to biweekly pickup
much easier.”

PhOTO SubmITTED
mPP JIm WIlSOn SPEakS TO COnCERnS hEaRD aT agRICulTuRal ROunDTablE
– Over 70 farmers and agribusinesses brought their message to the Elmvale Legion last
week, where Simcoe–Grey MPP Jim Wilson held a roundtable discussion to talk about issues
and challenges impacting the industry. Last Tuesday, Wilson took to the floor of the Ontario
Legislature to make the government aware of some of the concerns discussed. “Roughly half
of the comments revolved around this government’s approval of non-agricultural projects on
prime agricultural land, including, for example, wind and solar projects in my riding, as well as
residential and estate-type developments. Two specific projects that people are upset about
are the Midhurst secondary plan and the proposed Aria solar farm in Springwater Township.
Another issue discussed was the escalating price of hydro and the fact that farmers literally
can no longer afford to pay their energy bills. Several people spoke to me about this government’s outrageous proposal for a 10-cent-per-litre hike on the gas tax so that the Liberals
can build subways in Toronto. It was noted that Premier Wynne must really think of people in
Ontario as endless revenue tools. We heard from people in the horse racing sector who are
angry with this government’s decimation of what once was a prosperous industry. It was noted
that the horse industry as a whole is half of what it was before the Liberals arbitrarily decided
to cancel the Slots at Racetracks Program. We heard from farmers concerned over regulation
and obtrusive red tape. One meat processor spoke about being asked to provide the same paperwork over and over, creating a never-ending cycle of unnecessary intrusions into his daily
livelihood. Clearly, the people of my riding, and the farmers in particular, are very disappointed
with this government and they want change”.

bears are rare or absent, but votes
are numerous).
In 2008, then-Minister of Natural Resources, Donna Cansfield,
wisely ordered an assessment of
Bear Wise. Published in January
2009, the assessment presented
dozens of suggestions on how
it could improve. The next year,
then Premier McGuinty removed
Cansfield as the minister.
In May 2012, McGuinty quietly, and without consultation,
conducted a massive scale-back
of the Bear Wise program. Then,
in October, he abruptly quit,
handing leadership of the party,
thus the province, to Kathleen
Wynne.
And what did she do? We were
promised a better, more open,
and transparent government.
But instead, the premier began
the onerous task of dismantling
many of Ontario’s environmental protection laws including
the Endangered Species Act,
the Planning Act, the Bear Wise
Program and re-introducing the
spring bear hunt.
Apart from the sad fact that
people seem to believe there
are more bears and more conflicts (neither contentions supported by the MNR’s own research), there is simply no way
that shooting bears attracted to
baits in the bush will mean that
the same bear that might concern humans later on is the one
shot. Shooting, itself, creates the
risk of wounding bears, who can
become aggressive. Bears tend
to avoid humans, and the moms
will not attack if their cubs are
approached. But, availability of
human food conditions bears to
search for such foods — ironically exacerbating the problems
that concern people.
Now, in the winter, female
black bears are in their dens.
They are not truly hibernating,
but their metabolism has slowed,
and they will soon give birth to
tiny cubs. Smelling bait, the females will move in, but will tell
their cubs to hide. If a mother
bear is lucky, she’ll be recognized as a female, and spared;
but she may well be shot, and
then her cubs are doomed.
And why? Kathleen Wynne
may think that, by making it a
“test” and restricting the spring
hunt to several communities, she
will not arouse too much criticism from compassionate voters
(while placating those northerners angry at cancellation of the
spring hunt back in 1999). What
are a few hundred starving baby
cubs when there are votes to be
had?
The TIMES – February 27, 2014 – Page 15
the gardener’s Corner: Radiant orchid
By Judith RogeRs
The Pantone colour for
2014 is ‘Radiant Orchid’, a
blend of fuchsia, purple and
pink that will look spectacular in the home and garden.
Anyone who knows me,
knows my love for all things
lavender. Flowers in this colour range marry well with
yellow, olive and deep green.
In the home it successfully
pairs with turquoise, teal and
light yellow.
We are going to see a lot
of Radiant Orchid this year
featured in clothing, accessories, nail polish and home
furnishings. In the garden
there are already flowers to
choose from in this colour
tone and many are popular
selections already in gardens.
Starting in spring we have
light and dark purple muscari, hyacinths, and crocuses,
often in mass plantings to
produce a dreamy drift of
colour. These spring bulbs
can be purchased in pots to
decorate the home too and
they bring an early scent of
spring to glide through the
home.
We mustn’t forget the
purple hues of lilacs which
are a fragrant addition to any
property, especially when
branches are brought in-
doors to fill a big vase.
Purple alliums make a
bold statement in beds as
they stand like tall sentries
over shorter plants and when
spent and turned to seed, can
be spray painted to extend
their usefulness and colour.
Agastache (hyssop), nepeta (catmint), peonies, lavender, spiderwort, hollyhocks,
clematis and many annuals
are good choices to bring
some purple into a garden.
A few of my favourites are
the peony ‘Gay Paree’ which
has strong fuchsia outer
petals with lighter pinkishpurple ones in the centre; a
gorgeous David Austin rose
called ‘Othello’ and ‘Lavender Chiffon’, a rose of Sharon shrub.
Gerbera daisies are a long
time favourite for fresh
flowers in a vase and can
be found in a shade similar
to Radiant Orchid. If purchased from a florist, they
may come with a short clear
straw to hold the stem upright. I like to keep these and
slip them over stems from
the grocery store, otherwise
they flop in no time but are
one flower that lasts well.
A new introduction from
Proven Winners is the heuchera ‘Blackberry Ice’ which
collectors will want to add to
their shade garden. Green
and silver leaves appear to
have been painted around
the edges and into the centre
with pink and I can see this
looking quite nice beside
any of the green or maroon
leaved varieties.

PhOTOS BY WenDY GaBrek
here TO heLP BuSineSSeS SuCCeeD – Tottenham–Beeton &
District Chamber of Commerce Office Administrator Linda Spurr sits
at the reception desk at the new office, located on Queen Street in
Tottenham, across from the mall.
BY WenDY GaBrek
The Tottenham–Beeton &
District Chamber of Commerce
(TBDCC) is now located on the
main street of Tottenham. The
move, which took affect February 1st, was a strategic decision
of the volunteer board, to better
serve the membership.
“This office gives us more
space with room to grow,” said
TBDCC president, Jess Prothero. “We will have more room to
promote our members and it’s a
great location for a tourism office.”
A chamber of commerce is a
not-for-profit organization, run
by a board of volunteer directors,
that serves businesses by connecting them from the “beyond
the door, beyond the downtown
core”. Chambers, including the
TBDCC, provide networking
opportunities to business owners and serve the community by
sponsoring and running local
events. Businesses, regardless of
geographical location (does not
have to be located in the community, does not have to be in
the downtown core) can belong
to any chamber association they
wish – providing small business
owners with an opportunity to
both root and branch out.
Chambers are perhaps best
known for their insurance policy
access. Health insurance plans
are available to TBDCC members at a group rate, even if only
one person is to be insured. TBDCC members are also automatically members of the Ontario
Chamber of commerce (included
in the yearly dues), which can
raise the professional profile of
a business and increase crosspromotion and healthy industry
competition and connection.
TBDCC Office Administrator
Linda Spurr, has helped to grow
the membership from 100 to 160
in just six months. She told The
Times she is proud and excited
to help board members see their
plans to grow the Chamber become a reality.
“Like with any of the businesses we serve, growth and
retention is a top priority for
this Chamber,” Spurr told The
Times.
For Spurr, who’s direction
comes from the TBDCC board
of directors and its president,
having main street exposure is
integral to adding value to membership.
“Our members can come in
any time and see us now. We
welcome everyone to come in
and see what’s happening in
town, check our community
board, leave brochures and business cards promoting events and
specials and stay up to date with
the our programs,” said Spurr.
TBDCC president Prothero
adds, “This Chamber is a tradition. We have been here for
many years, and have seen a lot
of businesses flourish, right here
at home. When I became president of the Tottenham–Beeton
Chamber, my goal was to see
it grow and become a tradition
for generations to come. Slowly,
that vision is becoming a reality
and I am proud to say that the
Chamber is bigger and better
than ever. We have a long way
to go, but we’re making steady
progress with a terrific group
of volunteer directors and I’m
proud of what we’ve accomplished as a collective so far.”
With the move now complete,
and goals for the future firmly
in place, the TBDCC has turned
its attention to the many events
planned under its umbrella in
2014, including:
• Toot N Holler: Saturday,
April 26th. Community-wide
garage sale in Tottenham and
Beeton. “Get your Sale on!”
This popular event runs all day
from 8 a.m.— 4 p.m. This is a
great opportunity for store owners to put out some great deals
and attract visitors as well. New
for this year is the inclusion of
Beeton homes and businesses
in the activities and a 5km Fun
Run hosted by Tottenham Public
School.
• TBDCC Charity Golf Tournament: Thursday, May 22. Plan
to attend for a full day of golf and
networking followed by a great
meal. In 2013, with the help of
the Nottawasaga Inn Resort, the
Chamber donated $1500 to Matthews House Hospice.
• Tottenham Bluegrass Festival: June 20–22. Tottenham’s
premier concert event, featuring Bluegrass and Gospel music, will celebrate its 31st year
in 2014. Held at the Conservation Area, the Bluegrass Festival
brings many campers and daytrippers to town, often arriving
early to shop and dine in our
community.
