Council appoints committee, board and task force members
By Wendy GaBrek
Monday night, council
members discussed the mayor’s recommended list of
committee, board, task force
and council liaison appointments for the 2014–2018
term of council.
The role of an advisory
committee is to provide recommendations to council
on matters pertaining to the
terms of reference as established by council.
Task force are established
to deal with specific matters
or projects with a limited
scope. Once the task force
has provided their final report/recommendations
to
council, the task force has
completed its mandate and
is no longer required to
meet. A task force may be
established by council at any
time to address matters that
require consideration.
Boards are outside of the
general scope of council, but
generally request or require
a council representative to
be appointed to them (council liaison appointments).
In preparation for Monday
nights meeting, the mayor
and deputy mayor met with
members of council individually, reviewed the committees, boards and task forces,
considered the distribution
of the workload and the areas of interest of each member.
It is likely the following
appointments will be ratified

Council to participate in hiring of new Deputy CAO
By WenDy GABrek
Council has voted to give
themselves access to the interview process for a new
Deputy CAO for the Town
of New Tecumseth.
Currently, the CAO,
Brendan Holly, has the final
authority to hire the successful candidate, but on
Monday night, council voted to allow themselves – if
they so wish – to take part in
the final interview with the
top two candidates.
Councillor Richard Norcross said that having all 10
councillors in an interview
was “unnecessary” and
that the mayor and deputy
mayor should be allowed
to sit in to represent council. Council voted Norcross’
motion down and instead
moved on JJ Paul Whiteside’s motion to allow “any
member of council to be involved in the interview of
the final two candidates”.
The position of Deputy
CAO has been open since
the retirement of former
Chief Administrative Officer Theresa (Terri) Caron
this fall. Her successor, the
former Deputy CAO, Brendan Holly moved into the
position of CAO for The
Town of New Tecumseth,
on August 26th, 2014.
PhOtO By WenDy GABrek
COunCil vOtes tO ChAnGe meetinG time – The first Committee of the Whole meeting for the new council took place
Monday night in council chambers. During the hour and a half long meeting, council voted to move Committee of the Whole
meetings to Monday’s at 10 a.m. starting January 1st, 2015. Council meetings will remain on Monday nights at 7 p.m. Finance
staff are still working on a date for the 2015 Budget – Public Input Session. The date will be confirmed at the council meeting
on Monday, Dec. 15th starting at 7 p.m. in council chambers.
The role of Deputy CAO
is to be “a responsive direct
liaison to Town Council for
certain departments and
projects that he or she will
lead and develop”.
In the past, the Deputy
CAO led, developed and
was involved in the day to
day running of the technical
departments, namely, Building Standards, Engineering,
Planning, and Public Works
Utilities, Fleet and Roads as
well as major projects.
The need for a replacement Deputy CAO was advertised from September 16
to October 7. In all, 76 applications were received, a
number that was reduced to
a short list of just nine applicants – who were individually interviewed during the
third week of November.
Based on those interviews, two suitable candidates have been chosen and
subject to reference checks
and now, council’s input, an
offer of employment will be
made shortly.
As with CAO Holly, the
new Deputy CAO will likely be groomed to take over
the helm of the Corporation of The Town of New
Tecumseth, upon his retirement.

Will Leitch stand up for transparency and accountability?
Dear editor,
Local Member of Parliament Kellie Leitch couldn’t
have been clearer when she
said that “our government
has maintained the highest
level of accountability when
spending tax dollars.”1
Soon she will have a
chance to show how she is
putting that sentiment into
practice as your representative when she votes on the
Transparency Act.
This bill was introduced
by Liberal Leader Justin
Trudeau to raise the bar on
openness and accountability
by making government information open by default. It
is a good faith effort to work
across the aisle and achieve
results for Canadians.
The Transparency Act
would modernize our Access to Information system,
which is stuck in the 1980s.
It would make all government data public by default
and available in modern formats. It would empower an
independent office to order
that information to be disclosed. It would eliminate
extra fees for information
requests.
The Act would also make
the meetings of the governing board of the House of
Commons open by default,

When the streams thaw
this spring...
Dear editor:
The South Simcoe Streams Network (SSSN) and Nottawasaga Futures would like to wish all residents of south
Simcoe a wonderful Christmas Season! We greatly appreciate the support provided by individuals, community
groups, schools, businesses and municipalities towards
stream restoration activities.
Keep spring in mind when planning community opportunities this winter! Weekends will be humming at the end
of April and May with volunteers out and about to help
create naturalized buffers during the SSSN Spring ‘Trees
for Streams’ planting events.
If you have a group in mind or just want to help out,
please contact [email protected] for more details
on how to get involved.

An angry man
Dear editor:
So I see that Mr. Kinnon has seen fit to go off on yet
another diatribe. As usual the reader is left to wonder what
the true cause of his anger is. Is it Justin Trudeau (“junior”
as he disrespectfully calls him)? Muslims? Women who
claim sexual harassment? Who knows ... he’s clearly one
of THE most angry individuals I’ve come across when
reading this paper. His feeble attempt to trivialize the true
nature of sexual harassment is insulting, misogynistic and
an unfortunate throwback to another time from which
most of us have moved on. And if his rationale wasn’t
lame enough he shamefully invokes the memory and sacrifice of our veterans just to make his point. I’ve had the
honour to meet many of our veterans and my strong sense
is that they fought for the values and personal freedoms of
all people ... Including their wives, daughters and mothers.
I encourage readers to counter Mr. Kinnon’s bitterness and
narrow thinking and show our town in a better light.

Consequences for the liar(s)
Dear editor:
You in the media are making an extremely big deal of
the Jian Ghomeshi scandal. To be clear, I have no use or
time for the CBC, TV or AM/FM radio. Nor do I have any
use for Jian Ghomeshi. I had never heard of him before
the sh** hit the fan and the media went hysterical over
this scandal. Apparently Jian Ghomeshi was a big time star
talk show host on the boring state sponsored CBC radio.
He has been confronted by several women who allege that
he beat and sexually assaulted them many year ago. They
have finally come forward after all these years, screaming
bloody belated murder. None of these women are Mother
Teresa clones.
My obvious question is this: Why did these women wait
until now to scream rape, assault, and battery and sexual
assault? They claim that no-one would believe them and
that they would be blocked from future promotions if they
“blew the whistle” on Ghomeshi. Ghomeshi claims that
these women had consented willingly to these shenanigans. The media who used to be Ghomeshi’s colleagues
do not believe Ghomeshi. Somebody is lying. Ghomeshi
will now be facing criminal charges by our “hard working”
police after much belated tap dancing by Toronto Police
Chief Blair.
So here’s the solution. Save the taxpayers some time and
money. Force Ghomeshi, Lucy DeCoutere and Reva Seth
(the original complainants) and all the other women to a
lie detector test as to who is lying like a rug and who is
just looking for a big payday. Muzzle the dirt-bag media
till this mess goes to trial. If any of the above are proven to
have lied, they need some serious time in jail. Other than
that, the whole Ghomeshi fiasco smells like rotten Limburger. The media needs to find more important stuff to
cover.

Essa inaugural sees large turnout
RICHARD BLANCHARD
Essa mayor Terry Dowdall
promised to remain open to
all concerns from township
residents as he embarked on
his second term as mayor.
“I will continue to listen to
you,” he said in his address
at the inaugural ceremony
held at Living Faith Community Church in Baxter on
Wednesday afternoon.
Dowdall told the crowd of
100 people that he wanted to
give special thanks to his father, wife, children and other
members of family and supporters who helped him win
a another term.
“You certainly made my
job easier,” he said.
He said that the new council will be facing many of
the same issues that it dealt
with during the past term.
“We want to keep our new
bus service going between
Barrie and Angus. We will
see the continuation of work
on Highway 90 from Barrie
to Angus which will see it a
five highway. And the county will also be improving the
intersections at County Road
10 and Mill Street and King
Street and County Road 10
in the the coming year,” he
said.
Work is also needed on
improving the 25th Sideroad
through the township and
trying to reduce speeding on
all roads.
Dowdall said that he thinks
that the township will be facing financial pressures as the
province reduces funding to
lower tier municipalities.
“We are going to be seeing
$300,000 less in municipal
partnership funding from the
province in 2015.”
Dowdall said that township council has been
pleased with the growth in
commercial development in
the township and the steady
growth in the industrial area
that has grown up around
Highway 90 and County
Road 56.
“Munro Concrete continues to have steady growth
and Phoenix Truss has recently bought property as
well,” he said.
Deputy mayor Sandie
Macdonald, who was acclaimed to a second term as
deputy mayor, said that she
was pleased that the same
members of council had
been returned for another
term. She also thanked her
family for their support during the past term.
A reception followed the
inaugural at the church.

Wilson asked for unanimous
consent of the Legislature to
streamline passage of his Bill.
However, it was blocked. “Some

a bunch of Grinch’s. They all

Christmas Tree Day in Ontario.
The US has deemed the entire
first week of December as National Christmas Tree Week.
“This effort has boosted
Christmas tree sales considerably across the United States.
Even Congress was able to come
together to pass such an important initiative. It’s regrettable the
Ontario Legislature could not do
the same,” Wilson added.
More than one million, fresh
farm-grown Christmas trees
are purchased each year in Ontario, and the same number of
seedlings are planted each year.
There are 647 Christmas tree
farms in Ontario – more than
any other province in Canada.
The Simcoe-Grey MPP went
on to say his proposed legislation
would have given the Christmas
tree industry an opportunity to
encourage more consumers to
buy Christmas trees.
Wilson further spoke of
the environmental benefits of
Christmas trees, saying “One
acre of trees removes up to 13
tonnes of airborne pollutants.
“Despite refusing to support
this important rural industry,
I would like to officially declare Saturday December 6th as
Christmas Tree Day. I encourage
all Ontarians to go out and purchase a real tree for the holiday
season,” Wilson concluded.

Best Wishes Only
By Wendy GaBrek
After hearing a report from
mayor Rick Milne at Monday
nights council meeting – that
staff were being “abused”
and “verbally threatened” –
council has approved the installation of further security
measures at town hall.
In Phase I, magnetic swipe
door locks will be added to
all employee areas (three
main doors) on both levels
of the building on Wellington
Street.
Phase II would see the reconstruction of the reception
desk to allow for better interaction with citizens with
physical disabilities and at
the same time, allow for the
addition of security glass to
protect town staff working in
the main floor office.
Monies to move forward
with Phase I construction had
been previously approved by
the former council, and work
will commence immediately.
Given the urgency of the
situation, council has also
given the green light for
works to begin on the reception desk, with costs to be
built into the 2015 budget.
The vote was unanimous.

Tec South wins a spot in
county championships
Hornets claim back–to–back wins
PHOTO SUBMITTED
The Tecumseth South Central Public School girls basketball
team won the South County championship with a win over
Earle Rowe Public School on Tuesday, December 2. The
team will now travel to Midland for the County Championship.
The Tec South girls basketball team has won a
place in the County Champions.
The game will take place
on Wednesday, December
10, in Midland.
Despite losing several
key players to injuries, the
team won the zone championship in over time to
make it to the South County
championships in Bradford
on December 2, and won
their semi-final against WH
Day Public School.
The team then went on to
defeat Earle Rowe Public
School to claim the South
Simcoe
Championship
– their second title in six
years.
Tec South played in the
16 team Country Championship on Wednesday with
results coming too late for
press time.
“The girls have been with
me and teaching coach Ms.
Santo for several years
– some since grade four,
and they had made this
their goal to make it to
the County Championship
in 2014,” said coach Jeff
Dockeray. “No team had
worked harder for me – in
and out of school – including giving up their Friday
nights this fall to practice!
I think it speaks volumes
that Tec. South – being one
of the smallest schools in
Simcoe County, yet playing
in County Championships
this week against schools
six times their size, and
speaks to the dedication and
subsequent skill level of the
girls.”

CHUCK–A–PUCK – 28 students from St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School in Tottenham will be travelling to Ecuador in May as part of a mission trip to help
build schools. To help raise funds they have been holding
a chuck-a-puck event at Alliston Junior C Home games.
Alana, Alisha, Emma, Tess, Alison, and Devin, were greeting fans an selling the pucks. During the puck toss after the
second period, the puck closest to centre ice wins a prize.

The Alliston Junior C Hornets clinched back to back wins over the Schomberg Cougars. The Hornets travelled to Schomberg
on Thursday (Dec. 4) and left with an 8–1 win. Both teams returned to Alliston on Friday night and again the Hornets came
out on top winning 7–5.
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Alliston Junior C Hornets notched another four
points this week with back to
back wins over the Schomberg Cougars.
The Hornets travelled to
Schomberg on Thursday
(Dec. 4) night and left with
an 8–1 win after scoring two
power play goals in the first
period then taking control of
the game in the second with
five more to lead 7–0 going
into the final frame.
The return to Alliston the
following night, Friday, December 5, had some carry
over from the previous night
and it turned out to be a rock
em sock em night of hockey
with Schomberg taking 37
minutes in penalties and
Alliston being assessed for
20 minutes with both teams
having players tossed out on
misconducts.
The Cougars got the jump
on the scoreboard with an
early goal, but Alliston’s Nic
Archibald tied it up.
Schomberg again went
ahead at the midway mark,
but the Hornets responded
with a goal from Jamie Bennett with :36 seconds left on
the clock.
The second period ended
with the game tied at four
leaving the squad to come
out and battle for the win in
the final 20 minutes of play.
Alliston scored three in
the final frame to take the
7–5 win.
“Last night we came out a
lot stronger than they did,”
Said Hornets forward Jamie
Bennett of the Thursday
night game. “We controlled
the play the entire night.
I don’t think they were as
ready as we were. We just
wanted to win more than
they did.”
Teams in the GMOHL
rarely play back to back
games. Alliston and Schomberg have met up six times
this season with the Cougars
coming out on top in every
game.
“I hoped a lot of energy
and momentum would
have come in, (in Friday’s
game) but it didn’t seem
that way and we came out a
little slow,” Bennett said of
the Friday night re-match.
“They had a bit of a jump
coming in. They wanted to
prove something from last
night, but we stuck to it and
got the ugly win. There’s a
bit of a rivalry with them.
It’s always pretty intense.
There’s a lot of physical play
and chirping, but those are
the games we have to play.”
After the weekend the
Hornets maintain first place
in the Georgia Mid Ontario
Hockey League with a 21–4
record and 43 points – six
points ahead of the second
place Stayner Siskins.
The Penetang Kings have
now dropped to third place
and lost another one on Friday night to the Erin Shamrocks.
The Hornets will be back
on home ice on Friday, December 12, to host the Fergus Devils at the New Tecumseth Recreation Centre.
Council discusses ‘Municipally Significant’ events
by Wendy Gabrek
Council will likely approve a list of ‘Municipally
Significant Events’ at next
Mondays council meeting.
With a Municipally Significant designation, forprofit organizations are better able to obtain Special
Occasion Permits for a Provincial Liquor Licence during annual events.
Council considered the
following events:
• Alliston & District Lions
Club/Alliston Potato Festival – beer gardens
• Alliston Ladies SloPitch – ball tourney
• Alliston Men’s Masters
Slo–Pitch League – ball
tourney
• Alliston Men’s Slo–
Pitch –ball tourney
• Alliston Mixed Slo–
Pitch – ball tourney
• Beeton & District Agricultural Society – Fall Fair
beer garden
• Beeton–Tottenham BIA
– Flavours in the Field
• Jordan Team – fundraiser
• Misfit Militia Roller
Derby League – bouts/tournaments
• New Tecumseth Men’s
Slo–Pith – ball tourney
• New Tecumseth Rodeo
– rodeo
• Renegade Derby Dames
Roller Derby League –
bouts/tournaments
• Tottenham Bluegrass
Festival – Bluegrass Festival
• Tottenham Community
Week Committee – street
dance
• Tottenham & District
Minor Ball Association –
ball tourney
• Tottenham Men’s Slo–
Pitch – ball tourney
The Liquor Licence Act
requires all for-profit organizations to obtain an
“Events of Municipal Significance” designation from
the municipality in order to
apply for a special occasion
permit.
The list of events above
has been forwarded to the
Nottawasaga OPP and the
Alcohol and Gaming Commission (AGCO) with a
request to forward any concerns they may have to the
Town.
No comments were received from either the
AGCO or the OPP.
The list of approved
events for 2015 is the same
as 2014, except for the addition of ‘Family Day for
New Tecumseth’, as put
forward by councillor Norcross which takes place annually in the Beeton Park.
If other requests are received from this point forward, council will decide
the events ‘municipal significance’ on an individual
basis.
by Wendy Gabrek
Council has voted to appoint Mayor Rick Milne and
Deputy Mayor Jamie Smith
as board members for the
New Tecumseth Improvement Society or NTIS.
Milne and Smith will be
joined by three community
members to round-out the
board – as decided by council at a later date.
The NTIS was incorporated under the Canada Corporations Act in February 1999
and meets to discuss issues
with the water pipeline built
between Collingwood and
Alliston.
The late George McCague
had served as Chair and CEO
of NTIS since its inception,
until April of this year.

MSP hoStS ‘be the ChanGe Unity Line’ – On December 6th, community members
along with My Sister’s Place staff stood together arm and arm and holding candles to show
their support for The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women
in Canada. This year, marked the 25th anniversary of the Montreal massacre in which a gunman took the lives 14 women because of their gender. In honour of the 14 women slain and
over 600 killed in Ontario since 1990, My Sister’s Place wanted to do something historical and
show a community unified in stopping violence and abuse against women and girls. Community members lined the sidewalk on Victoria Street, Alliston to stand unified with candles and
held together for a moment of silence for the fallen women and girls. Once the photos were
taken, the group of over 50 individuals congregated to share in some warm beverages served
by My Sister’s Place and F.I.T Fitness. The event is the first of many community oriented
events that will take place in hopes of spreading the message and providing awareness on
violence against women and girls. For more information on future events, check out the My
Sister’s Place (Alliston) Facebook page, follow on Twitter or visit the website at www.mysistersplace.ca. If you know someone who is being abused or if you are in need of support please
contact My Sister’s Place at 705 435-3835.

Owls: winter’s visitors
Fan the Fire
BY PEnElOPE GIlBERTSOn
There are some interesting restaurants popping up in Alliston.
Indian Flames is one of them. Chef and owner, Clyde Almeida,
offers cooking lessons on the occasional Sunday (his day off)
with proceeds going to charity.
Clyde is an inspiring person in many ways. It is not just the carrots and cumin he puts in a pan; he exudes warmth and wisdom
and is a reminder of the importance of a loving family. His experiences in Pakistan, and building a life from nothing, have given
him compassion for his neighbour. His life philosophy is that we
are here to serve and be good people.
A group of 15 assembled around the open kitchen windows to
watch the preparation of the dishes that we would later devour.
The group was treated to a step-by-step demonstration of how
to make a vegetable dish and Balti Gosht a chicken dish. Both
recipes have over a dozen ingredients, most of them spices.
Clyde explained the meanings behind the names Balti Gosht and
the spice Garam Masala and told stories of his home country with
a delightful sense of humour.
As each component was cooked it was passed around to the attendees. We smelled all the ingredients; spices, raw and cooked,
and each stage as the recipe progressed.
When asked why he chose Alliston to set up his restaurant,
Clyde said he likes small towns, he grew up in one, then with a
grin he explained that his ‘small town’ had a population of a half
a million, launching the group into more laughter.
The day of our cooking lesson, Clyde’s wife Vanessa, who
works in the city, and their two sons accompanied him. The comradery and love between them was as enjoyable to witness as the
preparation of the food.
The family that benefits from the funds raised at Clyde’s classes was found when a man came into the restaurant, and pondered
the menu a long time. Clyde asked if he had questions about the
food. The man told him he and his wife were out of work, and
asked what he could get for $10. Clyde told him not to worry, and
brought out a plentiful meal.
Our class was the last to benefit that family; just in time to help
with Christmas and as they start new jobs. Future cooking lessons
will help someone else in need.
BY JEnnIFER HOwaRD
I like to keep my articles
informative and as winter
quickly approaches, already
we are getting winter arrivals ‘owls’.
Already, Snowy Owls
(Nyctea scandiaca) have
been taken into the wildlife
rehab centers in various areas. They are being hit by
cars, and they are starving.
Snowy owls are one of
my favorite owls. They are
amazingly beautiful and one
of the largest owls by weight
(56.4 – 104.1 oz). They have
a wingspan of 49.6 – 57.1 in
and with male and female
measuring about 20.5 – 28
in.
Snowy’s are what they
call diurnal which means
they hunt during the daylight
hours too. In the north were
they come from, their main
diet is lemmings. Also eating
rodents, rabbits, waterfowl,
squirrels etc. They can con-
sume up to 1,600 lemmings
in one year. Coming from
the Canadian Arctic, they
nest in wide open places. Not
in trees, but on the ground.
These owls are well adapted
to the cold with a thick layer
of downy feathers and they
weigh in at about 4 lbs, one
pound heavier than and great
horned owl and twice the
weight as a great gray owl.
The oldest known snowy
was just over 16 years old.
Banded in Massachusetts in
1988 and found in same area
in 2004. However today,
when these owls take the
trek south in search of food,
they face so many more dangers than what they are used
to. People, cars, starvation,
hydro wires, etc. Snowy’s
do a lot of sitting in an open
field or on a fence post,
big yellow eyes constantly
searching for food. A vole
running beneath the snow
can be detected and captured
by these keen hunters but
there are other hunters out
there putting these owls at
risk. Humans. I have already
heard reports of people approaching these owls in
groups, as they sit and hunt
in a field. Trespassing, harassing, chasing, following.
Creating stressful situations
for the owl as its hunts for
much needed food. People
do not need to approach an
owl. Cameras all have great
zooms these days. Please
respect them. Keep your distance. Let them hunt and let
them be. Do not feed them.
Many an owl that has been
fed so photos can be taken
are hit and killed by cars.
Coming from where they
live they do not have much
contact with humans or cars.
They have no fear. They are
an easy target for those who
choose to approach them.
You are obstructing their
hunting, their sleep (energy).
their space, and their safety.
They came here trying to
survive. Is any photograph
worth their life? No. I am a
naturalist/photographer and
I have never put any of my
subjects at risk. I respect all
living things. I watch quietly, patiently, I learn so much
about the species. Nothing is
worth risking their life over,
absolutely nothing. These
are magnificent birds of prey.
Think about your actions,
about the well being of that
owl. That meal it seeks may
be the one that makes it survive through a bitterly cold
night, or die of starvation. So
many arrive here as juvenile
owls near starvation already.
They are not yet experienced
at hunting like their parents.
I use a 150 – 500 mm lens.
I can sit back and enjoy the
moment, never putting that
bird at risk in any way. Common sense. Get some shots
and move on.
If you do happen to see
an owl in need. Contact The
Owl Foundation at 905 5625986 located in Vineland, or
the Toronto Wildlife Center
416 631-0662 and follow
their instructions carefully.
I spoke with a MNR conservation officer, Rick Maw
of Midhurst district; the following is his quote on this
topic.
“We are privileged to be
able to see these northern
owls every few years. People need to recognize that
they are here because of
lack of food in their normal
habitat, so any harassment
of them could have a serious impact on their survival.
It is for that reason that the
Fish & Wildlife Conservation Act included this kind
of activity in the definition
of hunting, making it an offense. Therefore a person
repeatedly following or disturbing a bird of prey for the
purpose of getting a great
photo, could very easily be
illegal “hunting” that owl if
it is determined that they are
harassing it in the process. A
charge could result under the
Fish & Wildlife Conservation Act.”
So please, be responsible.
Enjoy sighting from a safe
and respectable distance,
and move on! And please.
Do not give out any owls location, keep them safe!

Harvey, Irene Louisa
(née Racicot)
Our free spirited, tree hugging lover of
the environment, a wife, mother, sister,
grandmother, aunt and friend to all,
passed away peacefully on November
26, 2014 at the age of 86 years, at
home, according to her wishes. Irene
was ahead of her time when it came to
conservation and preserving the earth
and everyone respected and loved her
for that. She taught us all the right way
we should be doing things and most
times with humor and fun. Her teachings will live on especially in her grandchildren, Lisa (Brad), Nathalie, Dean
and Andrew whom she impressed with
her wisdom and unconditional love.
Her joy to hold her great granddaughter Soleil was evidence of her loving
nature. Her husband Phil and children, Paul (Lola), Jane (Mike) and Bob, along
with her surviving siblings, Gerry (Edna), Audrey (Dave), Eleanor (Howie) and
Wally (Justyne) predeceased by her brothers Jim (Elayne), Doug and his surviving wife Ivy, will miss her spontaneous dancing, her giving nature and her
knack to always be there when needed. She will always be with us. A private
family funeral will be held after cremation and a celebration of her life will be
held for family and close friends on December 13th, 11:00 am - 3:00 pm, 16
Burton Grove, King City. No flowers please, just go hug a tree for Irene. B49
Mary Jessie Ross (Ward)
October 25, 1921 – December 3, 2014
Mary passed away peacefully at the Briton House, with her
great-grandson James holding her hand, on Wednesday, December 3, 2014 at the age of 93. Mother of Wendy (Wallace)
Watson, Lorne (Leona) Ross and Stuart (Linda) Ross. Grandmother of Jennifer (Rob) Durham, Wallace (Sigrun) Watson,
Kim (Sam) Aguado, Peter Ross, Terri -Lyn Ross (Nelson Amorim), Doug (Amber) Ross. Great-grandmother of Brittany &
James Durham, Wallace & Alexander Watson, Lucas & Liam
Amorim, Lily, Thomas & Emilie Ross, Cody & Tyler Covington,
Jacob & Sophie Aguado. Predeceased by George Godson (2003), her best friend and companion
of 30 years. Mary spent the first 24 years of her life in England, imigrating to Montreal with her
young sons Stuart and Lorne shortly after WWII. Wendy-Anne entered the world shortly thereafter. In the early 70’s Mary bought a cottage in Venise-en-Quebec and spent her weekends and
vacations indulging in her passions of gardening, walking, fishing, cribbage, tea and the chaos of
hosting her grandchildren! Mary was a patient and forgiving soul who quickly made many friends
at “the lake” which led her to retire to Venise in the mid 80’s. Not one to sit idle, Mary added an
interest – watercolours - learning to paint the flowers and birds that will now surround her every
day. As her grandchildren grew-up and dispersed, Mary revelled in their visits. Always loving, welcoming and receiving them with a warmth far beyond that of the wood-stove that she kept stoked
in the centre of the cottage. With the physical challenges associated with time moving so swiftly
by, Mary moved to an apartment in Nobleton, Ontario to be closer to family support. Although
disappointed at moving away from Venise, Mary frequently expressed the good-fortune she had
for the great friends she had made and loved during her time there. With the support of her good
friend Tyna, Mary was able to return to Venise for visits in the ensuing summers until declining
health no longer allowed her to do so. Mary made many friends in Nobleton and delighted in
being able to walk to all the amenities that were nearby. Due to her failing eyesight, she could no
longer drive, but the proximity of the bakery, coffee shop and family enabled Mary to maintain the
independence she coveted. It was during this time that she developed her close relationship with
her great grandson James, collecting him from school, walking with him and playing hide-and-seek
in the graveyard – all with declining eyesight! Eager to maintain her independence, Mary moved
into a retirement apartment at Briton House as the last of her eyesight was taken from her. Although legally blind, and soon completely blind, Mary’s spirit was never diminished. She remained
active walking, swimming and exercising with the support of her friends and the staff at her new
found home. All the while looking forward to visits from family and friends, Sunday dinners with
the Durhams and calling family and friends from Texas to Ottawa to Toronto to Kingston to Cobourg to Florida to, to, to! Never one to worry about herself – nor take pity on herself – Mary was
always mindful of others and the news of their lives. Mary was the epitome of grace and kindness.
An original woman with a warm soul that is missed and lives on through those she touched.
Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Briton House who have taken such good care of Mary over
the last 7 years. In honour of Mary’s memory, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes
Association (www.diabetes.ca). As Mary wished, a funeral will not be held; rather a celebration of
her life will be held in the Spring. Condolences and memories may be forwarded through www.
humphreymilesnewbigging.com. Arrangements under the direction of the HUMPHREY FUNERAL
HOME A.W. – NEWBIGGING CHAPEL, Toronto, 1-800-616-3311.
