Five small road projects explained at open house
By Bill Rea
Class environmental assessments are taking place
for five small road projects on
deck in the Town of Caledon.
The Town hosted a public
open house in Caledon village
to explain them last week.
Most of these sites will see
work involving slope stabilization and repairing cracked
pavement. There are also
plans to install guard rails at
some of these locations, and
replace or extend culverts.
Project Manager Jeff Dunlop, of Candevcon Limited,
said the plan, at this time,
is to have the projects go out
to tender in April or May

PCs angry the government wasted $70 million on ORPP
By Bill Rea
Ontario’s Liberal government is taking
a lot of credit for strengthening retirement
security for workers, but the Progressive
Conservative opposition is of the opinion
that a lot of money has been wasted.
The government’s effort was focused
on the Ontario Retirement Pension plan
(ORPP).
The government is boasting that they,
along with the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan Administration Corporation
(ORPP AC) spent up to $70 million between 2013 and 2016 to develop and start
implementing the plan.
But
Dufferin-Caledon
MPP Sylvia
Jones called it “70 million dollars for
nothing.”
Finance Minister Charles Sousa
and Associate Finance Minister Indira
Naidoo-Harris issued a joint statement
last Thursday acknowledging the agreement reached with the federal government in June to enhance the Canada Pension Plan (CPP).
The statement pointed out that the Lib-
erals had promised to improve retirement
security during the 2014 provincial election campaign through ORPP, and they
ended up forming a majority government
after that election.
They also pointed out that many Ontarians are unable to save enough to maintain
their standard of living after retirement.
“This can lead to a substantial savings
gap for too many Ontario workers in retirement,” the statement said.
“Since 2013, Ontario has advocated for
an enhancement to the Canada Pension
Plan,” the statement read. “When the
previous federal government refused to
act, we moved forward in 2014 with the
ORPP. Ontario’s determination to provide
enhanced retirement security for workers
by establishing the ORPP was a catalyst in reaching a national consensus on
CPP enhancement.”
The government continued with its efforts while waiting to see what enhancement were coming.
“The Provincial Liberals kept spending
money to ramp up a program that was not
necessary,” Jones charged.
She was also annoyed that the government created a position for Naidoo-Harris, complete with a driver and staff, and
it seems she’s got nothing to do.
“We get frustrated and, hopefully, we
remember,” she added, pointing to the
Provincial debt of some $300 billion.
“It’s things like this that add up and
make a difference,” she charged.
“Sadly, this is yet another example of
Liberal waste and mismanagement at the
expense of Ontarians’ hard-earned tax
dollars, just like the $2 billion gas plant
scandal we are still paying for,” commented York Simcoe MPP Julia Munro,
Progressive Conservative (PC) critic for
ORPP. “In typical Liberal fashion, this
government needlessly and recklessly
pushed their agenda forward, putting politics ahead of Ontario’s best interest.”
“Getting the CPP enhancement could
have cost a plane ticket to Vancouver,”
Munro added in a statement issued by
the PC Caucus. “Instead the government
wasted $70 million.”

moval of the retaining wall.
The Town anticipates there will be no
impact on private property from this work,
although it might be necessary to have access to some private land. Also, regarding
the planned work on Kennedy Road, there
have been called for pavement improvement further south, and those issues have
been passed onto the Town. There have
also been calls for work on Olde Base Line
Road, near the Cheltenham Badlands,
and those matters have been referred to
Peel Region.
Private properties will not be impacted
zation, extension of culverts and removal
of that retaining wall. Dunlop said the culvert will be replaced and extended slightly.
The fifth stretch of road involves about
100 metres on Finnerty, west of The Gore
Road. The concerns at this location include a deteriorating head wall, and unstable embankment and a channel which
is flowing against the embankment. The
plan is for road reconstruction, slope stabilization, extension of a culvert and re-

Another WNV-positive pool found
This is shaping up to be a rather quiet
year on the West Nile Virus (WNV) front.
Peel Public Health reports the last week
in July saw another WNV-positive mosquito pool in the region. This was the second of
the year and it was found in Brampton. The
first one was found earlier in the month in
Missisauga.
There have been a total of four positive
pools in Ontario so far this year; the two
in Peel, another in Halton Region and the
fourth in Perth district. Those are the only
ones that have been reported in Canada.
There have been no human cases of WNV
illness reported.
To date, there have been 51 human cases
of WNV in the United States, including 18
in Arizona and 7 in Texas.
Peel Public Health is continuing with
its surveillance program. It began June
19. Adult mosquitoes are collected weekly
from mosquito traps at 31 fixed locations
throughout the region until late September.
To date, 170 mosquito batches have been
tested for WNV.
The mosquito reduction includes larviciding, which involves applying environmentally-friendly products to reduce mosquito
larvae in stagnant water.
Peel’s larviciding program started June
1 and will continue until Sept. 30. It takes
three weeks to complete a round of larviciding. There will be three rounds of roadside
catch basin larviciding this year. The first
round of roadside catch basin larviciding
was completed July 15. Larviciding crews
are currently starting the second round of
catch basin treatments in Mississauga. The
second round is indicated by a purple dot
affixed to the catch basin grate.
Larviciding of catch basins in the green
spaces of parks in Peel has been completed. The treatment of surface water sites on
public lands is ongoing.
The Region is reminding residents they
can reduce the risk of WNV by removing
stagnant water on their property. Empty or
dispose of containers that can hold water,
such as old tires, wheelbarrows, barrels,
pails, toys and recycling bins; turn over
wading pools, remove water that collects on
pool covers; and make sure swimming pool
pumps are circulating.
People can also protect themselves from
being bitten by mosquitoes by avoiding
areas with large numbers of mosquitoes;
wearing light-coloured clothing, including
long sleeves, long pants, socks and a hat
whenever outdoors (even in the backyard),
especially at dusk and at dawn; and using
an insect repellent and applying it according to the manufacturer’s directions
Old School Road to
be closed for work
Starting Aug. 3, Old School Road will be
closed between Highway 10 and Kennedy
Road.
The closure is expected to last two to
three weeks. It’s being closed to allow for
the rehabilitation of a culvert.
The last accessible emergency access
number from Highway 10 will be 3441.
There are no emergency access numbers

“Biker’s Having Fun and Giving Back-HOGs ‘Bike Night’ raises funds for kids in need” by Nicole Dumanski & Shona Lauzon
There’s a wellknown saying
‘It takes a
village to raise
a child. Locally
you could say,
“It takes a
group of bikers
to raise a child.’
The Hurtin' Old Guys or HOGs, a
Caledon-based motorcycle group has
made helping kids their mission.
Fern Doria grew up in Bolton in
humble circumstances, the memory of
doing without seared in his mind. So in
2000 when he founded the HOGs he
says partnering with Caledon
Community Services was a perfect
choice, “Supporting Kidz in Caledon
and the Santa Fund we help kids all
year long” he asserts.
This year’s Kidz campaign will assist
over 300 children access summer
camps, back to school supplies, food
support, and medical necessities.
Fern’s neighbor, Steve Moricz, joined
the HOGs with a bunch of like-minded
bikers. “We have a good time for a
good cause. Our name Hurtin’ Old
Guys came from a time when a bunch
of us were hanging out and
complaining about our aches and
pains’ he smiles, ‘but we’re still riding
and we’re still young at heart!”
Wednesday’s throughout the summer is
“Bike Night.” You can find the HOGs
at the newly renovated St. Louis Bar &
Grill, 301 Queen St. S., Bolton at 7
p.m.
Fern and Steve are generous in their
praise of the community and the
sponsors. “We couldn’t do what we do
without the outstanding support,” says
Fern. St. Louis Bar & Grill matches
the funds raised over the course of the
summer, doubling the impact of the
group’s efforts for children in need. A
sponsor recognition banner is on
display every Wednesday.
Over the years more than $20,000 has
been raised for children right here at
home.
When asked why he wanted to give
back, Fern’s answer is simple, “Why
not?” Selfless giving back to the
community is something that everyone
can do – ask yourself the question –
then answer ‘Why not?”
To support children in Caledon
affected by poverty, please give
generously to Kidz in Caledon at
www.ccs4u.org or by phone 905-5842300 x 236.

Police have safety tips for cyclists in Caldon
Now that summer is here, it’s a great
time for bike riding in Caledon.
Caledon OPP are reminding all cyclists that a bicycle is a vehicle under
the Highway Traffic Act. That means
cyclists are expected to obey all traffic
laws, and understand that they have
the same rights and responsibilities as
drivers.
If the bike is designed for one person,
cyclists cannot carry passengers.
Keep in mind that the Ministry of
Transportation recommends that children under the age of 10 should not ride
on the road.
Police have tips for people who are riding on the road.
• Ride one meter from the curb or from
parked cars to have enough space to
avoid hazards.
• Be visible to motorists by riding in a
straight line on the right hand side of
the road.
• Look for drivers changing lanes, exiting from driveways and parking lots to
avoid being struck.
• Ride in the direction of traffic.
• Never share a lane with a large vehicle such as a truck or bus.
• When changing lanes, remember that
vehicles in the other lane of traffic have
the right-of-way; this means that the
person moving into the new lane must
wait for an opening.
• Cross railway tracks so that the tires
are at a 90-degree angle to the railway
track. This will prevent the wheel from
catching in the track, which could make
the rider fall or damage the bicycle
wheels.
Arrests made regarding break-in
Two men from Waterloo have been
charged after Caledon OPP officers came
upon a break-in July 11 in the area of Emil
Kolb Parkway and Regional Road 50.
Police said the officers saw in the incident in progress, seeing a suspect on the
industrial property holding a flashlight.
The man reportedly fled on foot when he
saw the officers.
Police also report a white Dodge Caravan was found parked nearby with the
engine running. The person inside was
found to be in possession of break-and-enter tools.
Members of the OPP Emergency Re-
sponse Team and the OPP K9 unit were
called to search for the man who fled. A
suspect was located after a short search by
the police dog and officers.
A 58-year-old man was arrested and
charged with breaking and entering, obstructing a peace officer, possession of
break-in instruments, having a disguise
with intent and possession property obtained by crime.
A 57-year-old man was charged with
breaking and entering, possession of
break-in instruments, having a disguise
with intent and possession of property obtained by crime.
Lastly, avoid all distractions while cy- phone. Be attentive, keep eyes on the
cling, like listening to music with head- road, and ride with the wind — open
phones or ear buds, or using a cellular and free!
Jewelry stolen in break-in
Caledon OPP is investigating a home
break-in on McGuire Trail in the northeast section of town.
Police said the incident took place sometime between 9:30 a.m. and 1:20 p.m.
June 27. Those responsible got in by forcing a door. The house was ransacked and
jewelry was reported stolen.
Police are reminding residents to contact the OPP Communications Centre im-
mediately at 1-888-310-1122 to report any
suspicious activity or vehicles in the area.
Information such as suspect physical descriptions, suspect vehicles and direction
of travel are useful tools for investigators.
Police are also asking anyone with information about this break-in to contact
them at 905-584-2241 or Crime Stoppers
at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Caledon OPP would like to remind residents to be proactive regarding a recent
increase in daytime break and enters.
General tips
• Mark your property with unique identifiers like a driver’s licence number, serial
numbers, or other identifying marks or
details which include make and model, or
photographs of valuables in case property
can be returned to assist with investigations.
• Report suspicious people or vehicles.
• Lock windows and doors, close window
blinds when leaving the property unattended.
• Repair or secure access points like locks,
garages, doors, windows and fences or
gates.
• Increase occupancy indicators, like having automatic lights, emptying the mailbox,
have neighbours or family check on property, leave a radio or TV on.
• Install alarm system or security cameras.
When leaving the home unattended, especially for extended periods:
• Let trusted neighbours know how long
you will be away.
• Ask a neighbour to take in mail, shovel
the sidewalk or mow the lawn.
• Give a trusted neighbour a key or lock
code and have them check on the home regularly.
• Leave a contact number.
• Have a neighbour use your driveway to
park their vehicle so it appears someone is
at home.
Be aware of break-ins

Federal and Provincial governments announce funding
to support broadband access to Caledon and beyond
The Federal and Provincial governments are investing $90 million dollars
each in the Southwestern Integrated Fibre Technology (SWIFT) project
SWIFT supports the expansion of access to broadband by delivering fibre
optic coverage to more than 350 communities across southwestern Ontario, including Caledon. The total project cost
is estimated at $281 million.
“It’s a great day for Caledon,” said
Mayor Allan Thompson. “To address this
key priority, Caledon council approved
the five-year tax levy in this year’s budget to leverage our investment. When
you add that together with this funding, it goes a long way to connecting our
communities. This is a perfect example
of three levels of government working
together to tackle an issue. We will get
further and faster together.”
SWIFT represents 15 communities in
southwestern Ontario, with more than
three million residents currently underserviced or with limited access to high
speed internet. The initiative is based
on the principle that everyone in southwestern Ontario deserves access to highspeed internet, regardless of the size of
their community, their age, education, or
where they work. Internet service providers (ISP) in the private sector have
determined that it is too expensive for
them to buildout internet infrastructure
in areas, such as Caledon, where the distance between customers is too great.
SWIFT’s goal is to enable the expansion
of fibre by lessening the financial burden
of the initial capital investment.
“By providing better access to a wider
variety of online tools and resources, we
are increasing the potential for economic growth and diversification in these areas, not to mention enhancing residents’
quality of life,” said federal Innovation,
Science and Economic Development
Minister Naveep Singh Bains.
SWIFT aims to create an extensive
fibre network that connects the entire
region with service ranging from one up
to 100 gigabits per second (Gbps), using a combination of public and private
funding to address gaps in broadband
infrastructure. It will build on existing
fibre to create a far-reaching regional fibre network, bringing fibre closer to customers and making it easier for ISPs to
connect homes and businesses to highspeed internet. The new funding will
trigger private investment from ISPs,
who will continue to own and operate
their networks and deliver services directly to customers. All ISPs will have
equal access to the fibre network.
“This project will bring critical broadband infrastructure to southwestern Ontario. High-speed internet will connect
people and businesses to the resources
they need to compete in the global marketplace and strengthen our economy,” said
Infrastructure Minister Bob Chiarelli.
To find out more information about
the SWIFT initiative, visit swiftnetwork.ca
Caledon’s Broadband Levy
In January, Caledon council unanimously passed the Town’s 2016 budget,
which included a special broadband
levy in support of the development of
a Town-wide high-speed internet (Fi-
bre Optic) network. The southwestern
Ontario fibre optic broadband network
will be built through SWIFT, and will
be owned and operated by private internet service provider(s). The levy will
generate $300,000 per year and $1.2 to
$1.5 million over four and five years, respectively. The plan is that this investment will translate into an approximate
$22,500,000 fibre infrastructure buildout in Caledon once federal, provincial
and private contributions are factored
in. A broadband tax rate of 0.002067 per
cent for residential properties was established for 2016. For example, is the
broadband levey for properties assessed
at $500,000, is $10.34 ($500,000 x
.002067). The levy began with the 2016
final property tax bills and will continue
until the buildout is complete.

Glen Eagle organizes third annual Charity Golf Tournament for Bethell Hospice
Glen Eagle Golf Club will be hosting its
third annual Charity Golf Tournament in
support of Bethell Hospice Foundation.
It will be Aug. 12.
Presenting sponsor again this year is
Cavalier Transportation Services along
with Matching Gift Partner Scotiabank.
Revolving around a fantastic experience on Glen Eagle’s scenic championship
course, the event features 18 holes of golf
Due to the overwhelming response from
the community, organizers have moved
the Neville-Lake Family Memorial to a
new location.
Hundreds of people are expected Aug.
14 at Wellesley Park in King City, to
commemorate the three Neville-Lake
children and their grandfather who were
killed in a tragic drinking and driving
crash in September in Vaughan. Organizers created this memorial for parents
Ed and Jennifer so they would have a
permanent place to honour their children
and father. Jennifer Neville-Lake grew
up in King City.
Through donations from the community, organizers have planted four trees
with plaques dedicated to the deceased
children Daniel, Harry, Milly and their
grandfather, Gary Neville at Kettle Lake
Park. To accommodate the change in venue, the Township will be providing pictures of the memorial trees and the children at the new location to represent the
original tribute.
The event runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The morning celebration starts at 11:30
a.m. with a dove release, with bubbles
provided to children in attendance to blow
during the release.
Activities for the family include food
trucks, Reptilia, jumping castles, face
painting, mascots, music, etc.
The Bolton Rotary Rotaryfest is coming
This is seen as a great way to help supDonation boxes will be available on-site soon, and the club is looking for volun- port the community, as well as a way for

Region’s position
a ‘disgrace’
Regarding “Region bypasses staff on Bolton expansion plans”
(July 28)
Peel Regional council’s vote in favour of Option 6 (Solmar Development lands) as the next location for Bolton’s residential expansion
is a disgrace.
What’s even more disgraceful is that Caledon Councillor Annette
Groves was the sole Caledon representative to support it. Of course,
that should come as no surprise to residents, even those who only
follow municipal matters at a very cursory level.
The larger question, however, is why a majority of Mississauga
and Brampton voted the way they did. One wonders if there hasn’t
been strong lobbying by Solmar. This decision overturns years of
work by the Town of Caledon in assessing six possible growth scenarios for the Bolton area.
It ultimately chose Option 3, or the lands on the north side of King
Street near Humber Station Road. This was predicated, in part, that
these lands have been identified as the site of a GO Train station.
Apparently the Option 3 consortium has proposed front-ending
municipal infrastructure services interest free. That proposal undercuts suggestions by some Regional councillors, especially the
Mississauga ones, they’re concerned about development servicing
charges.
If allowed to move forward, the Option 3 lands would evolve into
a community on par with Brampton’s very successful Mount Pleasant district, a pedestrian/transit oriented “mobility hub” community
serviced by the GO Train, interconnecting bus services with bus layover stations and bike lanes.
Instead, Caledon will be saddled with even more sprawl as a result
of the Region’s decision. As has been noted by Mayor Allan Thompson in print and online columns, Option 6 (again Solmar) came last
on a sustainability index as part of the extensive assessment of the
six growth scenarios.
Although Peel Region has authority over local planning, its decisions can be overturned by the province. Caledon residents who
are enraged by what has transpired at the Region might consider
writing Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones, asking her to raise this
issue before the Legislature when it resumes in the fall.
Dan O’Reilly,
Wildfield
Don’t be indifferent to regulating
Bill Rea make his point against more regulating as it pertains
to people texting, phoning and catching Pokemons on public sidewalks, apparently initiated by some at Toronto’s City council
(July 21).
They want the Province to step in to outlaw these activities and
he opined that apparently the Province is not going to act on it.
I think the senior government should eagerly pick up on this
request.
As he reported, “If some idiot is texting and smashes into a
wall, then good for him.”
But we have also been mandated by law to wear seatbelt while
riding in a car or wear helmets on motorcycles.
In both those cases, and perhaps others, it might be argued
that if people are careless about themselves, let them.
However, this is not about saving citizens from themselves. But
when they come to harm, they also become a burden on our very
costly public health system, from doctors’ visits to ambulances
and hospital stays.
And that is why we should not be indifferent to people smashing into stationary objects, let alone fellow users of public places
such as pedestrians.
The alternative, of course, would be to let the miscreants who
harm themselves pay their own medical expenses; but then it
may become difficult to distinguish between foolhardiness and
genuine, unprovoked accidents.

Sometimes as a Rotarian, in the small village of Palgrave, we
get to witness something great happen many, many miles away.
This past year, our Club sponsored a school project in Venezuela
in partnership with Asopica — a civil association founded in 2003
by a multi-disciplinary group of people committed to providing
comprehensive care to families, children and adolescents who live
along the axis San Fernando-Cinaruco in Apure State, Venezuela.
They created a Comprehensive School — Coromoto — in the
Caño La Pica, the Mission Church Santo Cristo del Capanaparo in
La Macanilla and social interventions in San Fernando de Apure,
we develop educational, cultural, recreational and religious development-oriented projects sustainable and improving the quality of
life in the area. The school enrols 45 students in Grades 1 through
5.
Our Club, through the direction of our International Programs
Director, Ricardo Aldrey, sponsored 45 children with a Padrino
Program (aka the Godfather Program). This program provided each child with all of the essentials to go to school for one full
year — clothing, toiletries, bedding, school supplies, medical treatments/vaccinations, and food/nourishment. The school is a boarding school where children attend for two weeks at a time.
In addition to this program, we provided funds to rebuild the
structure that supports the solar panels (how they obtain power
at the school) as the structure was damaged last year in storms.
To know that our Club — through the generosity of donations
by community members such as yourselves — was able to provide
the necessities to ensure 45 children received education this year
is what being a Rotarian is all about.

American President Barack Obama was born this day, Aug. 4, 1961
Conventional entertainment
So Donald Trump is going to be carrying
the Republican colours in the upcoming
presidential election south of the border,
and Hillary Clinton is going to be doing the
same for the Democrats.
I know I’m referring to the political situation in a foreign country, but it is also a
country that has an enormous impact on
our own. Many of you might not be interested in what’s going on in the United States,
but I maintain you should be. As many of
you who know me are aware, I’m something
of a political animal. Because of my job, I
have to keep up to date with
the politics in my municipality, province and country.
Because of my curiosity, I
choose to keep track of some
of the things going on in the
States.
Two weeks ago, we saw the
Republicans pick Trump as
their candidate; something I
would have said was next to
impossible a couple of months
ago. It’s not the first time
I’ve been wrong about something, and I can assure you it
won’t be the last. And as I’ve
written many times before,
there’s always plenty of room for surprises
in any election cycle.
And last week, we saw Clinton get a similar nod from her party. That came as less of
a surprise. The fact is that eight years ago,
when she and Barack Obama were battling
it out for the Democratic nomination, my
money was on Hillary. I based that on the
fact she would have better spin doctors at
her disposal; the same spin doctors who
helped keep her husband Bill from being
bounced from office about a decade prior to
that.
But enough of the past. This is 2016, and
we’ve got our future to worry about. And the
stage was set over the last couple of weeks
with the conventions.
Conventions are a fun part of the American political system, and the Canadian system too, although they seem to be a dying
breed up here. When I was studying politics
in university more than 30 years ago, one
of my professors told me conventions were
not really part of the Canadian tradition,
but something we picked up from the folks
to the south. They don’t have them much
any more, as the party membership at large
now has more of a role in picking a leader. The last one I attended was in the mid
1990s, when Dalton McGuinty was elected
Liberal leader in Ontario. I suspect that
will be the last convention I ever get to, at
least in this country.
But if my prof was right about it being
a tradition we borrowed from the Yanks, I
firmly believe it’s a tradition that they’re going to keep for some time to come.
Good for them!
The result has been two weeks of entertainment, as two political parties of the
nearest convenient superpower try to hammer out who’s going to be in charge for next
four years.
Alas, the demands of my job prevented
me from seeing much the two conventions,
but I was able to catch a good part of both
of them, including the acceptance speeches,
and the introductions, along with a lot of
the other doings.
Whatever one might think of Donald
Trump, there is no denying he raised some
pretty impressive kids. And Clinton raised
a pretty impressive daughter, although
I got the feeling she is not too used to the
limelight. No matter.
Both conventions had their moments,
both positive and negative.
For example, Trump’s wife Melania has
been criticized for having apparently plagiarized her remarks to the convention,
borrowing from Michelle Obama’s address
from eight years ago. I’m prepared to give
Mrs. Trump a pass on that. True, had I
borrowed someone else’s words in my writings and tried to pass them off as my own,
there’d be hell to pay. On the other hand,
I make my living writing in the only language with which I am intimately familiar
(profanity notwithstanding). Mrs. Trump
was addressing millions of people in a language other than her mother tongue, trying
to promote her husband. A bit of a difference.
On the other hand what really caught my
attention was the way my
wife got into the conventions,
especially the Republican.
She started discussions with
me about what she had seen
on there tube. It is usually
the case that when we discuss
politics, I do the initiating.
The problem was work-related demands caused me to
miss a lot of the Republican
production.
But it also seems that Beth
was not alone. From what I
have read and heard, the TV
ratings for the Republican
convention were a lot higher
than those for the show put on by the Democrats.
I guess it boils down to the fact that a
guy who I dismissed as a clown a couple of
months ago might be the next President of
the United States.
“Nobody knows the system better than
me, which is why I alone am the only one
who can fix it,” Trump said in his acceptance speech.
I think I’m in good company when I ask
exactly how is the current system busted,
but that’s Trump’s matter to address. The
economy could be dong better, but it’s not
doing that bad. America has not recently
endured a military or diplomatic embarrassment on the order of Vietnam or the
Iranian hostage crisis. I just don’t see the
problem that Trump seems to think needs
solving.
And how highly regarded is Trump with
the Republican hierarchy? There are two
former Republican presidents who are still
alive, both with the last name of Bush. Did
we hear anything from either?
The Republicans did have their convention first, meaning the Democrats knew
what kind of act they had to beat. That’s not
always a big advantage.
Back in 1992, the Democrats had their
convention first, with Bill Clinton coming out of it looking like a big boss in the
making. I well remember then councillor
Richard Whitehead, who was the highest
ranking local liberal I was still on speaking
terms with at the time, assuring me the
election was already in the bag. And I reminded him that the Republicans had yet
to have their turn, and incumbent George
H.W. Bush was going to close the gap in
short order.
If your memories need refreshing, Hillary’s husband won that election handily,
and the late Mr. Whitehead had another
reason (as if he needed any more) to admonish me to keep my yap shut when it came to
making election predictions.
But there were parts of the Democrats
convention that gave me the idea that they
really have their act together. There were
several tributes to fallen police officers,
which one would have thought would be the
domain of the Republicans.
The issue still has a couple of months in
which to play out. Election day is early in
November, with the new president taking
office in January. At the present time, I’m
predicting Americans are about to swear in
their first woman president.
But we do know what my predictions are
worth.

Barely a day passes, alas, without
news of yet another horrific murderous
rampage by either ISIS or some other
look-alike radical Islamic terrorist organization.
You would think that as the death
toll continues to mount around the
world, the subject of what to do about
the terrorists would be the top-of-mind
topic for any politician running for the
top office in the land.
Well, think again. At least when it
comes to Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.
Since neither Clinton nor current
President Barack Obama refuse to
even use the term “radical Islamists,”
it should not be the greatest surprise
that, as syndicated columnist Charles
Krauthammer pointed out recently,
during the first night of the Democratic
convention in Philadelphia, “there were
61 speeches. Not one mentioned the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or
even terrorism.”
Not one. Think of that.
We are told that, as a former secretary of state, Clinton’s strong suit over
Republican Donald Trump is precisely her experience — and his complete
lack of it — in foreign policy. But, adds
Krauthammer, the fact is that Clinton
“left a trail of policy failures from Libya
to Syria, from the Russian reset to the
Iraqi withdrawal to the rise of ISIL.”
No wonder they don’t want to talk
about it.
Instead, Clinton and her fellow Democrats — along with most of the mainstream media — chose to spend their
time attacking Trump’s demonstrable
lack of truthfulness and outrageous
ego.
Fair enough. But the only problem
with that is that as much as people perceive Trump to be given to tall tales,
more think that Clinton has an even
more distant relationship with truth.
According to two major public opinion
polls released on the eve of the Democratic convention — which showed
Trump got a popularity bump after the
Republican shingdig in Cleveland —
Clinton’s public image continues the
downward slide it has been in for several months.
A major CNN poll — from a network
decidedly unfriendly toward Republicans — 68 per cent of people asked said
Clinton is not honest and trustworthy.
That is her worst number on record, up
from 59 per cent early in May — and far
beyond the 43 per cent who say Trump
is dishonest.
A CBS poll found that 67 per cent of
the respondents say Clinton is dishonest. It also
found that
56 per cent have
National
Affairs
an “unfavorable” view of her, compared
Claire Hoy
to 31 per cent “favorable,” while Gallup showed just 38 per cent “favorable”
compared to 57 per cent “unfavorable,”
giving her — for the first time — a public image worse than Trump.
And all this, despite the best efforts of
most of the mainstream media to gloss
over Clinton’s serial failings and highlight every stupid thing Trump does or
says — of which there is, as in Clinton’s
case, no shortage.
The best the Democrats could devise
to attempt to rehabilitate Clinton’s horrible public image was to tout the fact
that some 100 Hollywood celebrities
have decided they are going full Monty to support her bid for the presidency
and attack Trump at every possible opportunity.
It apparently has not occurred to the
pointy heads who are running the Democratic campaign that that’s exactly the
sort of tactic they should NOT be encouraging. Trump’s strength — and it’s
still hard to believe what has happened
— is his appeal, not to the elite, but to
the millions of Americans who believe
they have been ignored and left behind
by the current political elite on both
sides of the aisle, as well as those in the
media, academia and elsewhere.
The more often a spoiled Hollywood
star or starlet pumps up their candidate, the more average Americans can
be assured that their basic, every day
concerns – which surely includes a genuine fear of radical Islamists – are not
likely to be met by Clinton and her elitist supporters.
As your humble correspondent has
written many times, I would be sorely conflicted if I had to chose between
Clinton and Trump, since neither is really the type of person who gives one
confidence for the future.
While much is made about the number of Republican leaders who are unhappy that Trump is now their man, it
is often conveniently overlooked that
millions of registered Democrats were
so unhappy with Clinton as their flag
waver that they continue to yearn, for
an aging socialist who, until the latest
round of electioneering, wasn’t even a
registered Democrat.
Clearly, nobody can say with precision who will win this remarkable
showdown.
But in normal times, that is if the
Democrats had anybody but Clinton,
Trump surely wouldn’t stand a chance.
Then again, if the Republicans had
somebody other than Trump, the Democrats wouldn’t stand a chance.
We really do live, as the old proverb
goes, in interesting times.

sentation will be further minimized if the
proposed changes to the number of Grant
Review Teams occur. Currently there are
16 review teams across the province. Under the proposed changes, that number
would be reduced to five. By reducing the
number of regions, there will be fewer
local voices and less local knowledge provided when approving a grant for a local
community initiative. This is precisely
the opposite of what communities like
Dufferin and Caledon need.
I have written to the CEO of the Ontario Trillium Foundation calling on her “to
stop pursuing the ‘regionally based model’ and improve the process for filling vacancies to ensure local representation is
maintained.” If you agree I encourage you
to email or write to the Ontario Trillium
Foundation. If you have any questions or

National Affairs
As most Canadians know, the Liberals
have promised to legalize marijuana in
Canada.
It was a central part of their electoral
platform. What is less clear, however, is
how they plan on getting to that outcome.
Their approach to date has been scattershot, first by appointing Toronto’s former
Police Chief to lead the file and most recently by appointing yet another committee to study the matter ad infinitum.
Last month, the Liberal government
announced a task force, chaired by former Liberal Cabinet Minister Anne McLellan to study the legalization of marijuana. They will report their findings in
November. Justin Trudeau and the Liberals have made a complete mess of the
marijuana issue by their failure to provide any policy coherence whatsoever.
I have serious concerns about a number of issues regarding the Liberals’
promise to legalize marijuana. How are
the Liberals going to address the current
proliferation of illegal, unregulated marijuana dispensaries? In Vancouver, for
example, there are currently more illegal
marijuana dispensaries than Starbucks
locations. How are the Liberals going to
address the public safety issue of people
driving and operating heavy equipment
while high? How are the Liberals going
to ensure that marijuana is going to be
kept out of the hands of children?
Claire Hoy
National Aff
We also must be concerned about
the reaction of our friends and allies
to this change in policy. How are the
Liberals going to address our international obligations regarding the legality of marijuana? How will they deal
with the U.S. reaction, most obviously
at the border?
Conservatives realize that this is an
issue that is on the minds of many Canadians. That’s why at our recent Policy
Convention, Conservatives passed the
following resolution:
“In order to expand the means which
law enforcement authorities have at
their disposal to combat drugs and their
negative impacts, particularly among
young people, and to reduce the volume
of judicial proceedings, we recommend
that peace officers be enabled to issue
tickets for simple possession of small
quantities of marijuana.”
Our policy resolution is in line with
the Canadian Association of Chiefs of
Police, who are also in favour of giving
police the ability to ticket individuals
found with 30 grams of marijuana or
less. This is also in line with the Chiefs
who do not believe marijuana should be
legalized.
I do not have confidence in the Liberals to put forward a plan to legalize
marijuana that will adequately address
our serious concerns.

Bolton Braves get $150,000 from the Jays Care Foundation
Caledon’s Bolton Braves Baseball Association was named the 2016 recipient
of the Jays Care Foundation funding to
launch their Field of Dreams Challenger
Baseball program.
The Braves will receive $150,000,
which is the full amount of the grant, a
big success for the club and an amazing
opportunity for Caledon.
“The Bolton Braves Baseball Association is an outstanding community organization,” said Mayor Allan Thompson.
“This funding will help them deliver on
their commitment to building inclusive
programs for children and youth.”
The funds will be used to support the
construction of a fully accessible baseball diamond at Bolton Camp on the
Caledon Townline. This initiative will
partner the Town and the Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) on
the Bolton Camp revitalization project.
“TRCA is proud to partner with the
Bolton Braves, Jays Care Foundation
and the Town of Caledon to build an
accessible baseball diamond at Bolton
Camp that will provide children with
disabilities with a place to play,” commented Lucia Piccinni, program manager of the Bolton Camp Redevelopment.
The Braves will launch the Challenger Baseball program with an event this
Sunday (Aug. 7) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
at North Hill Park in Bolton. Everyone
is welcome to join them for a family fun
barbecue.
Challenger Baseball is a program that
provides an opportunity for children
with cognitive or physical disabilities
to enjoy the full benefits of participa-
tion in baseball at a level structured to
their abilities. Each participant is treated like every other player in the conventional baseball program. All players
are outfitted in uniforms, use the same
equipment, and play their games at the
local baseball parks.

this event visit boltonbravesbaseball.

Local athletic therapist to attend Rio 2016 Summer Olympics
Caledon East athletic therapist Andrea
Prieur was nominated to the Core Health
team for the upcoming Olympic Games in
Rio.
The owner of Core Solutions Physiotherapy and Wellness in Caledon East is excited
to volunteer her skills as athletic therapist
to take care of Canadian Olympians.
“It is an honor amongst ourselves as
health care providers to be nominated to
attend and work with our Canadian Olympians,” she said. “It is a greater surprise to
be able to do it once again at back-to-back
Summer Olympics.”
This will be Prieur’s second Olympics
for which she has been nominated, and
she has volunteered in many other major
Games, including the 2015 Pan American
Games Health Care Team; the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland;
2012 London Olympic Games Health Care
Team; 2011 World University Games in
Erzurum, Turkey; 2009 World University
Games in Belgrade, Serbia; 2007 World
University Games in Turino, Italy; and the
2003 Pan American Games Health Care
Team in Santo Domingo, Dominican Re-
public. Between 2010 and 2015, she made
multiple trips to London, Florida, Italy,
Spain and Germany working with Diving
Canada.
Typically, to be able to volunteer at a
Games at this level, the nominated therapist has to commit to more than three
weeks. Prieur has done this time and time
again. She will be heading to the Olympic
village early July 25 and will leave right before closing ceremonies, therefore being in
Brazil for almost a month. Her role is as one
of six therapists attending will be to work
alongside physicians to ensure the Canadian team is in top shape for performance.
She will be attending practices and games,
providing on-field coverage and support to
Canadian Olympians and will otherwise
be available in clinic to treat any sort of
aches, pains or ongoing issues. At this time,
Prieur will be focusing on providing consistent therapy support to diving, shooting, archery and beach volleyball athletes.
Prieur is a member of the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association and was nominated to the Canadian Core Health team
due to her skills as an athletic therapist,
continued education and past experiences
with high performance sport. She has been
practising athletic therapy for 18 years.
Andrea lives in Caledon East with her
husband and three young sons and is very
active with the community co-chairing the
Caledon East Revitalization Committee.
The Games will run from Aug. 5 to 21 and
will have 10,500 athletes from 206 countries attending.

company cheques into her personal account. The victim sustained a loss of approximately $160,000.
The woman was charged with fraud
over $5,000.

THE CALEDON CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE CALLS ON THE PROVINCIAL
GOVERNMENT TO PUSH BROADBAND
STRATEGY INTO HIGH SPEED
On JULY 21st, 2016: the Ontario
Chamber of Commerce (OCC)
called on Premier Kathleen Wynne
to commit dedicated provincial
infrastructure funds to developing
and expanding broadband internet
access in remote and rural areas of the
province. With record investments
being made by government in transit
and transportation infrastructure,
the business advocacy organization
is calling upon the provincial
government to recognize, through
infrastructure dollars, that access to
high speed internet is also essential
for Ontario businesses to compete in
the 21st century global economy.
Local businesses in Caledon and other
rural communities are becoming
increasingly dependent on internet
access for their everyday business
practice. High-speed internet access
has become a necessity for doing
business in today’s economy and
it is critical that all regions across
Ontario have access to this essential
infrastructure.
While the Caledon Chamber of
Commerce and the OCC acknowledge
broadband investments made by
the Government of Canada in the
recent federal budget, internet access
continues to be an issue in parts of
Ontario. The letter to the Premier
identifies three key recommendations
that the Ontario government should
address in the coming term to ensure
all communities in the province
are able to compete in the global
economy:
1. Develop a robust broadband
investment
strategy
that
acknowledges that broadband is an
essential infrastructure investment,
Mr. Handyman Headwaters

17063 Hwy 50, Caledon, ON L7E 0K5
www.mrhandyman.ca
Tel: 905-880-CARS (2277)
www.albionhillsautocollision.com
and creates space for continued
private-sector investment.
2. Build partnerships across all levels
of government in order to leverage
funding and respond to local need.
Recognizing that the private sector
has driven investment in broadband
infrastructure, the OCC recommends
an
intergovernmental
funds
matching formula that will continue
to incentivize large private sector
investments.
3. Benchmark Ontario’s internet
speeds and access. In order to ensure
Ontario is able to compete in a
technology-driven global economy,
we need to create broadband
infrastructure that is equal with
those of other globally-competitive
jurisdictions.
“Just as businesses depend on roads
and electricity, high-speed Internet
is fundamental to advancing the
province’s economic interests,” said
Allan O’Dette, CEO & President of
the OCC. “Committing funds to
broadband infrastructure in rural and
remote regions of the province will
ensure that economic fragmentation
is reduced in Ontario.”
With
government
services
increasingly shifting to online
platforms, universal access to high
speed internet is becoming more
important than ever. By working with
the local government and the Ontario
business community, government
can develop broadband policy that is
responsive to existing needs while not
dissuading private sector investment.

Wynn visit our website at:

New Lowell defeats Bolton in home tournament final
By Jake Courtepatte
The North Dufferin Baseball League
got a taste of what to expect in the first
playoff round from the league’s top team.
The New Lowell Knights were the
champions of their own tournament over
the Civic Holiday weekend, trouncing
the Bolton Dodgers in the final 11-0.
New Lowell got on the board early by
knocking in three runs in the first inning,
and adding another in the second. Seven
runs in the fifth inning put the Dodgers
away for good, putting the mercy rule
into effect.
Bolton was able to record only two hits
through the five innings.
New Lowell, who emerged this season
as a powerhouse team in the AA league,
last won the tournament in 2011.
Bolton reached the final on a 2-0
round-robin record, with a hard-fought
6-4 win over the Creemore Barons followed by a 4-4 tie with Niagara Falls
Sunday. The Dodgers earned the win
thanks to the tiebreaker, having left the
most runners on base.
Creemore defeated the Mansfield Cubs
9-3 in the consolation game. New Lowell’s Todd Gowan, one of the top hurlers
in the NDBL year after year, took home
best pitcher honours.
The most valuable player award went
to Creemore’s Eric Orser.
Interestingly enough, the Knights and
Dodgers are opponents in the first round
of the NDBL playoffs, the Knights finishing the regular season as the top seed
and the Dodgers squeaking in at eighth.
The Dodgers will be a heavy underdog in the best-of-five series, with the
Knights having lost just four games all
season.
The series opened Tuesday evening in
Creemore, shifting to North Hill Park in
Bolton for Game 2 Wednesday. Game 3
will be played Sunday in New Lowell,
with a 1 p.m. start time.
If needed, the contest returns to Bolton
Wednesday for Game 4. The start time is
set for 8:45 p.m.

Work is currently being carried out
on the Etobicoke Creek Trail south of

work started early in July and is expected
to take approximately six weeks. The con-
tractor is the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

Matthew was a success
The fourth annual Mulligans Fore Matthew Charity Golf Tournament was held
June 3 the Caledon Country Club. The
golf course was sold out with an additional 40 guests joining for the dinner and silent auction portion.
The Maramieri family is excited to
announce this year’s donation total was
$28,500, which will be given to Cystic
Fibrosis Canada to fund much needed
research to find a cure for this deadly
genetic disease. This year’s event has
put Mulligans Fore Matthew’s four-year
grand total at more than $108,000, and
that is thanks to all of the events supporters.
They would like to thank Dr. Melinda
Solomon, Matthew’s doctor from SickKids
Hospital, for joining them and being the
guest speaker. Another focus of this event
is to raise awareness and increase knowledge about Cystic Fibrosis. Soloman gave
great insight into this invisible disease
and the battle people with CF fight on a
daily basis.
The fifth annual Mulligans Fore Matthew Charity Golf Tournament for Cystic
Fibrosis Canada will be June 2, 2017.
