TAKE A LOOK – Poster boards were set up at a recent public meeting highlighting the key changes and next steps for the project of updating the
Transportation Master Plan for Simcoe County, a process that is undertaken every five years. People were able to take a look as they passed by, getting some key points from the posters. Representatives from the county and the consulting group involved were also there to answer further questions.

County seeks public input on Transportation Master Plan
Fresh Food • Friendly Neighbours
By Emily wood
An information session was held
last week to gather public input and
gauge opinions of what has been
proposed as updates to the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) for
Simcoe County.
Updates include infrastructure
for public transit and active transportation methods like cycling,
OPEN - Mon-Sat 7am-Midnight

roller blades and pedestrian traffic.
The County is also looking at new
or expanded transit service, carpooling locations, paved shoulders
and railways.
Existing railways are also being
considered for the transportation of
people and goods.
The construction of active transportation facilities both on and off-
road have been a key recommendation from the public during this
study, as well as the desire for carpool lots and rideshare programs.
Research shows that 81 per cent
of Simcoe County residents commute by car and without additional
passengers. In 30 years the population in the area is forecasted to
jump 78 per cent, to 769 thousand
residents. With such a large increase in the population, managing
traffic is a major focus.
In Innisfil, one of the most frequent comments residents have
shared is that they would like communities to be better connected
through rural areas.

South Simcoe Police received numerous calls from
citizens and local schools
regarding a possible sighting of a cougar in Innisfil.
An animal was observed by
a citizen in a field off Innisfil Beach Road east of
10th Sideroad. This sighting
was made in the morning
on March 17th. Photos of
the tracks left by the animal
were forwarded to the Ministry of Natural Resources
on March 18th by the citizen.
The Ministry has viewed the
photos and come to a determination that the tracks were
made by a dog or coyote.

Losereit announces candidacy for Adj–Tos mayor
Richard Blanchard
Leo Losereit will be running for mayor of AdjalaTosorontio in this fall’s elections.
Loseriet announced his
decision to run at a meeting on Sunday organized
by the Everett Ratepayers
Association to discuss the
next moves to stop a bylaw
which would see the village
increase in population to almost 10,000 people over the
next 20 years.
Losereit, a ruminant specialist, has run for mayor
of the township before and
was defeated by the current
mayor Tom Walsh in 2010.
He also served as the Everett area councillor between
2000 and 2003.
Losereit said Sunday that
he had been considering
running for at time and was
planning to officially register as a official candidate for
mayor in the near future.
Current Lisle area coun-
cillor Scott Anderson is the
only person registered to run
in this fall’s municipal election. Candidates have until
September 12 to register for
the municipal ballot. The
election will be held on October 27.
The Alliston and Area
Physician
Recruitment
Committee (AAPRC), the
Alliston Family Health Team
(AFHT) and Stevenson Memorial Hospital (SMH) are
pleased to officially announce that Dr. Deborah
Wong has been recruited as
a full time Family Physician
in our community.
Dr. Wong received her
Medical degree at the University of Western Ontario
and completed her Family
Medicine Residency at the
University of Toronto, working out of Toronto Western
Hospital. She has interests
in preventative medicine,
women’s health, palliative
care and hospitalist medi-
cine.
Dr. Wong has taken on
the patients of Dr. Oswaldo
Ramirez and has been taking
hospitalist shifts at Stevenson Memorial.
“Dr. Wong is a wonderful
physician and we are so glad
she chose to join us. She
is an asset to the team and
community,” said Dr. Izabella Kogan, lead physician
at the FHT.
Dr. Liesbet Jansen, Chief
of Family Medicine said Dr.
Wong is already making a
difference on the in-patient
ward as a part-time Hospitalist. “She is compassionate and skilled, a great
addition to our team here at
Stevenson,” said Dr. Jansen.
“We welcome Dr. Wong
and are really pleased that
she has chosen to live and
work in our community,”
said Keith White, Chair of
the AAPRC. “We wish her
all the very best as she establishes her practice and home
here.”
Dr. Wong thanked the
community for being so
friendly to her since she
opened her practice. “Although I grew up and trained
in Toronto I have always had
a keen interest in rural medicine as, for me, it provides
the opportunity to have a
diverse practice. I look forward to providing you with
quality care, getting to know
the area and people and helping to grow our community.
Thank you for your warm
welcome,” she said.
Anyone who does not have
a family physician should

YOUR SUGGESTIONS – The County of Simcoe set up public information centres last week
to generate feedback about suggested changes to the Transportation Master Plan. People
stopped by to learn about the plan and make suggestions, marking this map with locations for
infrastructure repair or development including bike lanes, carpool lots and passenger railway
stops.
Continued from FRONT
Although updates to the
TMP are scheduled for every five years, the changes
initiated now are intended
to help with transportation
needs over the next 30 years.
TMP project co-ordinator,
Rachelle Hamelin says that’s
why it’s important to hear
from different generations.
Hearing from residents of all
ages will help develop a plan
that addresses the wide variety of needs in the county,
even kids were asked how
they wanted to get around
town.
Because of the size of
the county, Hamelin says it
would have been an enormous cost to have a consultant evaluate every road
and recommend updates.
Instead, they reached out to
the community with these
information sessions to get
recommendations from the
people who know the communities best, the residents
themselves.
People who stopped by the
drop-in information session
were asked to identify on a
map what type of infrastructure they would like to see
and where. From bike lanes
to carpool lots to railways,
residents were full of suggestions.
The next step will be phase
three of the project, updating
the TMP based on approval
from County Council and
developing an implementation strategy. The updating
process should be complete
in August, when the capital cost for the plan will be
evaluated.
Residents of all ages are
encouraged to speak up with
their thoughts and comments

We need the trail in New Tecumseth
Dear editor:
I have lived in New Tecumseth more than 20 years
and am an avid walker. I
have enjoyed walking the
Albion section of the trail
which goes as far as Alton/
Belfountain…through fields,
which are fenced and gated
and where crops grow or
sheep and horses graze. The
gates are always opened
and closed by the walkers
and I have never seen signs
of vandalism or disrespect
towards these private properties. I was over-joyed to
see the results of the trail
upgrades from Highway 9 to
Tottenham. The work done
by our town is first class. The
trail is wider; the footing is a
fine gravel which makes bikers happy as well. We often
meet Jim Stone and commend him for supporting
this fine enterprise. We very
rarely see garbage and never
are there many people and so
we get an opportunity to appreciate our beautiful country. Where we park there are
usually no other cars or at
most one or two.
I have also walked in
Italy, France, England and
Wales. Walking gives one
a feeling of well-being and
accomplishment. We have
enjoyed a “bird’s eye view”
of country-sides, beaches,
hills and dales. We notice
the wild flowers blooming
in the grasses and the animals grazing in the fields.
The footpaths wind down
country lanes, across farmer’s fields where crops may
be growing or horses, sheep
and cows grazing. We climb
over fences which have
been prepared with stiles
or we open and close gates
between fields. In these and
other countries, walking is a
way of life.
In New Tecumseth we
need walking trails which
encourage outdoor activity and create healthy minds
and bodies. Unfortunately
for the farmers, they are no
longer the majority in this
town. With sub-divisions
cropping up in Tottenham,
Beeton and Alliston, more
young families are making
their homes here every day.
We are a growing, dynamic
community and we must
support such ventures as the
Tecumseth section of the
trans-Canada trail.
There must be many ex-
Glad the stop sign is gone
Dear editor:
In reply to the letter from Donna Knapp about the removal of the stop sign at Main Street
and Tecumseth Street in Beeton – I live on Tecumseth Street and I’m so glad that the sign
was removed. I cross over Main Street at least twice a day and was nearly hit twice. At least
now I can wait until the traffic goes by and then cross when it’s safe.
I saw an SUV coming to a sharp stop and crunching into the ice at the side of the road.
He really must have damaged his car. It may sound that the trucks are speeding through but
I don’t think they are exceeding the speed limit. Perhaps the speed limit should be reduced.
I’m sorry you have trouble with the traffic and noise on Main Street, but it is the main thoroughfare. By the way, no one asked me if the stop sign should be removed.

Why did Stephen Harper say ‘no’?
Dear editor:
Why did Stephen Harper
say “no” to a Public Inquiry
into the missing and murdered aboriginal women?
Carol Goar of the Toronto
Star, on Wed. March 12,
wrote a scathing column
about this decision. Here are
two quotes from it, “For the
families of the victims, it
was an enormous letdown.
For human rights activists,
it was yet another demon-
stration of the Conservative government’s refusal to
stand up for vulnerable minorities”.
“We continue to be, I
find, treated as second-class
citizens,” said Claudette Dumont Smith, executive director of the Native Women’s
Association. “An aboriginal
woman could be disposed of
and that’s it, that’s all”.
Fighting back; a 24 hour
First Nations rail blockade
took place near Belleville.
It started on Wed. March 19
and was led by Shawn Brant.
Of course there were public
objections and even arrests.
But the purpose for those
taking part, far out-weighed
the negative aspects. They
were demanding a full
meaningful public inquiry
into the issue of indigenous
missing and murdered women and girls.
There are many ways for
Trail talks continue in New Tec
Dear editor:
Well again, Mr. Kirkpatrick has some other items
wrong. The Trans Canada
Trail does not donate any
money. The government of
the day in Ottawa will allocate taxpayers hard earned
tax dollars to complete this
magnificent project.
So, the town is going to
make up their share out of
development charges plus a
contribution from our county
council’s share of your hard
earned tax dollars.
Just to put the cream on the
cake I ask all of us to consider who is paying for the
Town’s share through those
magical DCs?
When a young couple
comes to town, attracted to
New Tecumseth for many
reasons and not just the
home that they plan to buy,
they are also making at least
a Mr. Kirkpatrick contribution in the form of a 20–25
year mortgage to the trail.
That is right, the new
homeowner has to pre-pay
through their mortgages
some $32,000 to $40,000 in
DCs that are a hidden part
of the purchase price. That
is a hefty hunk of change
they are responsible for before they even set up home
in New Tecumseth and without even having a say in the
matter.
While pondering this dilemma of the developers and
maybe the town council let
us, dwell on something Mr.
Kirkpatrick has eluded to in
terms of usage of the trail.
Not the future use but the
hundreds of the public that
he sees sharing the trail as is.
Well, if the trail is being
used to such an extent why
are the various levels of
government doling out such
amounts of taxpayers money
to build something that appears to already be up and
running without a further
penny being used.
If the members of our
council while contemplating
how to proceed (regardless
of additional costs) were to
possibly reflect on the other
proposal, to be fleshed out
shortly, following staff’s
maternity leave, the Seniors
Policy.
Will council see their way
to funding the regular or annual requests that council
receive from its seniors, regarding windrows and leaf
collections as their priority before the building of a
trail?
For the most part, our se-
amples of the Trail going
through farm-lands in other
provinces or other sections
of Canada. They can help
the farmers see that not only
is this trail necessary, but
it will happen and we hope
we can all work together to
make it a great contribution
to life in New Tec.
Pat Callan, Beeton
niors will not find such a trail
to be as accessible or health
promoting as our younger
upward mobile residents
who are possibly not being
burdened down with their
mortgaged share of the trails
Development Charges.
One other item to be corrected is the constant need
and suggestion for our town
to get on with completing
their share of the TCT. One
only has to log on to the TCT
website and see how many
other communities have not
yet committed to this Jean
Chretien legacy.

activists to show their beliefs and concerns. Another
example here, is a peaceful
one. The name for it is “Sisters
In Spirit”. For the last three
years, one group, in Newmarket, has hosted a prayer
vigil on the front lawn of
Trinity United church. The
aim is to make people aware
of the desperate situation
of these aboriginal women
and to honor their memory.
Vigils of various kinds are
taking place across Canada.
The next one, in Newmarket, will happen on Oct.4.
I heard about all this from
Linda Parsons, an avid activist with Sisters in Spirit. She
said to me very forcefully,
“We will continue to pray
and voice and work with
indigenous women in spite
of getting that ‘no’ from the
government for a public inquiry. This issue isn’t going
away. How many more must
die?”

Re: Letter to Ward 7
Councillor Bruce Haire and
Mayor Mike MacEachern
Dear Bruce and Mike,
I am writing to you to express my strong support for
the expansion of the Trans
Canada Trail through New
Tecumseth. I look forward
to connecting our community to this wonderful trail
system in the very near future. The benefits to our
community are numerous;
the creation of additional
green space, the promotion
of healthy lifestyles, greater
connection to nature and the
environment, etc.
I have personally enjoyed
hiking on other parts of the
Trans Canada Trail on a
regular basis with my family and our dogs. In addition,
I have hiked extensively in
England, Wales, Australia
and New Zealand where
they have similar extensive
trail systems, often directly
ON farmer’s property, not
just adjacent to it, which
are enjoyed extensively and
treated respectfully.
I myself am a farmer, and
my property is adjacent to
the hydro corridor just west
of the 15th Sideroad. As a
result of my farm’s proximity to the hydro corridor,
I often have snowmobiles
cross my property in the
winter. Although most of
Changes to licencing
seniors coming April 21
This is the official answer
Alan Masters of Beeton received from the government
regarding his opposition to
the Ontario government’s
intention to introduce a very
intensive screening tool for
Senior drivers.
Dear Mr. Masters:
Thank you for your letter
regarding Ontario’s licence
renewal program for drivers age 80 and above. The
Honourable Glen Murray,
Minister of Transportation,
has asked me to respond to
your concerns on behalf of
the Ministry.
I would like to assure you
that the primary goal of all
our senior driver programs
is to keep seniors driving for
as long as they can safely
do so. We are committed
to preserving the independence, mobility and dignity
of seniors.
To be clear – the Ministry
of Transportation (MTO)
has no plans to introduce
the cognitive screening tool
known as “SIMARD-MD”
into its senior driver licence
renewal program.
Ontario’s current licence
renewal program applies
only to drivers age 80 and
above and is an effective,
evidenced-based and unbiased approach to driver licensing. It is intended to ensure drivers are fit and able
to drive longer and safer.
The program is grounded in
extensive evidence showing
that senior drivers are at an
elevated risk of collision due
to age-related factors such as
loss of functional abilities,
reduction of psychomotor
skills, and the development
of cognitive dysfunction.
The Ministry regularly
undertakes and reviews,
research and jurisdictional
best practices for possible
improvements to its various
driver programs. Based on
the Ministry’s most recent
evaluation of its licence renewal program for drivers
age 80 and over, MTO will
be introducing enhancements on April 21st, 2014.
These changes will help senior drivers who pose no risk
to road safety renew their licences more efficiently and
with reduced stress while
more objectively identifying
those who may no longer be
fit to drive.
Currently, in order to renew a licence, every two
years senior drivers age 80
and over must successfully
complete a: Vision test;
Driver record review; Group
Education Session; and,
Written knowledge test of
the rules of the road.
If deemed necessary, the
senior driver may also be
required to pass a road test
prior to renewal. This current renewal process takes
roughly three and a half
hours to complete.
As of April 21st, 2014,
in order to renew a licence,
every two years senior drivers will have to successfully complete a: Vision test;
Driver record review; Group
Education Session; and, Two
brief, non-computerized inclass screening exercises.
If deemed necessary, the
senior driver may also be
required to pass a road test
prior to renewal or be asked
to provide the Ministry with
additional medical information at a later date. This enhanced renewal process will
take only about 90 minutes
to complete and there will
no longer be a need to study
for a written knowledge test
of the rules of the road.
Please note that this new
process will remain as a renewal program. Existing and
valid licences will be not taken away during this process
but all requirements need to
be met before your licence is
renewed. For additional information on these changes
(including practice versions
of the actual in-class screening exercises), please visit:
Ontario.ca/seniordriver
Ultimately, I would like to
assure you that MTO makes
every effort to ensure that its
senior driver programs balance the need for senior mobility and independence with
public safety. We strongly
believe that the forthcoming
enhancements to our renew-
al process for drivers age 80
and above accomplish this
goal.
Thank you again for your
enquiry.

these snowmobilers do not
have my permission to use
my property, as long as they
stay away from my livestock
and do not cross the property
when the snow is melting
and my crops are at risk, I
really see no harm in their
activity, and the majority do
so.
The intended use of the
trail considered would be far
less invasive than snowmobiles (I believe that most of
the trail excludes motorized
vehicles). I really struggle
to understand the “concerns”
of the affected farmers. I am
also extremely dismayed that
Councillor Jebb has been
so quick to cave in to these
“concerns”. Do the interests
of the other 28,000 inhabitants of New Tecumseth not
warrant consideration?
Further, I feel that it is an
embarrassment to our community that we are one of the
main gaps in the Trans Canada Trail! I am confident that
thousands of other farmers
in other parts of the country
have been able to cope with
the trail in their community,
and I am confident that our
farmers with adjacent properties will learn to do the
same.
I urge you not to succumb
to the demands of a minority
and please bring the Trans
Canada Trail to New Tecumseth.
Thank you for your attention to this issue; I look
forward to seeing you at the
council meeting on April
7th.

Follow up: stop
sign removed
Dear editor:
I would like to clear up any misunderstanding caused by
my statement in my letter of last week about wanting the
steam train tracks removed because of the noise from the
constant steam of trucks clanging and banging over them.
I definitely do not want the steam train tracks removed! I
moved to this home knowing the steam train tracks were
here first. I am a big fan of the steam train. I look forward
to watching it as it goes by on summer weekends – it’s the
unnecessary truck traffic that runs 24/7 I want removed!
Re: the editor’s note – thank you. My husband and I have
lived here and paid taxes for 39 years, so we are well aware
of how council operates.

Flood preparedness
Dear editor:
This has been a particularly cold winter with significant snowfall in many parts
of the province. With the
official arrival of spring and
warming temperatures, the
risk of flooding increases. I
would like to let you know
how my ministry responds
to flooding and how ministry
staff can help during flood

The Ministry of Natural
Resources is responsible
for flood forecasting and

level in Ontario. We work

Town to flick the switch in
support of Earth Hour 2014
For the seventh consecutive year, the Town of New Tecumseth will join millions around the world on Saturday,
March 29 by shutting down non-essential lighting and
equipment in all of its facilities, where feasible and without jeopardizing safety, for one full hour from 8:30 to 9:30
p.m. in support of Earth Hour.
During Earth Hour 2013, Power Stream reported that
power consumption in New Tecumseth had decreased 6.9
per cent during the one-hour event compared to a similar
type of day, (taking into consideration hour of the day,
time of year and weather) to Earth Hour.
You can make a difference too. Show your support by

flooding is likely to occur.
The ministry and conservation authorities monitor watershed and weather
conditions to predict water
levels and flows, and issue
flood messages. Flood messages help municipalities
notify the public of developing unsafe river and lake
conditions and advise them
to take precautions.
In areas where conservation authorities do not exist, MNR District offices
flood messages to the appropriate conservation authorities and MNR District offices by email, fax and, if after
hours, by phone. This information is also shared with
partners and key stakeholders, such as Ontario Power
Generation, CN-CP Rail, the
Ministry of Transportation,
the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management, and isolated First
Nation communities.
The ministry’s Emergency
Management network is also
activated when required.
The ministry has regular dai-
ly contact with the Office of
the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management about
current conditions and flood
potential.
To see the ministry’s current flood messages, go to
www.ontario.ca/flooding
The ministry is making every effort to keep the people
of Ontario informed, to provide reliable and immediate
updates and to limit the effects of flooding as much as
possible.

of the Eaton’s catalogue
has toilet paper been such a
need. The Eaton’s catalogue
had sharp edges anyway. Yet
the Liberals at Queen’s Park

Take your hydro bill. Try
getting along without hydro.
Yes, the greenie-weenies despise hydro and the hydro
generation. Maybe they
think we can generate power
with two hamsters turning
a windmill turbine. But the
end result is going to be a

description. The greenieweenies, sucked up by the
Liberals, have created the job
killing highest hydro rates
in North America. Global
Warming be damned! It’s the
biggest snow jobs since Hitler conned Germany in the
1930s. Hydro should NOT
be subjected to the HST. It is
another necessity. Timid Tim
Hudak has not projected this
fact loudly enough.
Take your heating bill.
Whatever you heat with,
it’s a dire necessity. After
this grim winter, you should
agree that heating fuel of
any kind shouldn’t be subject to an extortion tax of
13%. From Enbridge we’re
getting a threat of a 40% in-
crease in natural gas costs!
And 13% on top of this?
What spineless wimps do
they think we are? What are
we prepared to do about it?
Maybe we should rent some
professional protesters to
storm Queen’s Park. Or is it

South Simcoe Theatre presents ‘Dracula’
PHOTO BY SAMANTHA ERIN PHOTOGRAPHY
Emily Cully as Lucy Seward and Tom Mercer as Dr. Van Helsing.
Spring will soon be here
and the bats will be out at
night, particularly in Cookstown!
Step into the dark world
of legend as South Simcoe
Theatre presents Dracula.
Written in the early 1920’s
by Englishman Hamilton
Deane and later adapted
by John L. Balderston for
American audiences, the
play is based on the original Bram Stoker novel and
tells the story of young Lucy
Seward, who has come down
with a mysterious illness.
Her father is the doctor in
charge of an English sanatorium, and he engages the
learned Professor Van Helsing to help diagnose her condition. Van Helsing believes
that the girl has been attacked
by a vampire – a ghost-like
creature that strikes at night
and is kept alive by sucking blood from its victims.
Invariably, the plot thickens
with the arrival of the owner
of the neighbouring castle,
the mysterious and sinister
Count Dracula.
Many actors familiar to
SST audiences are returning to our stage to bring
this story to life:
Tom
Mercer (Jasper Station, Pajama Game) from Innisfil is
tackling a non-singing role
for a change and plays Dr.
Van Helsing. Also from Innisfil, Christopher Perchaluk
(Wizard of Oz, Robin Hood)
plays troubled sanitorium
patient Renfield.
Emily
Cully (Wizard of Oz, Robin
Hood) from Barrie and John
Bleasby (The Drowsy Chaperone) from Orillia play Dr.
Seward and his daughter
Lucy. Fresh from a performing stint at the Mady Centre
in his hometown of Barrie,
Andrew Nikkanen (Curtains) plays young Lucy’s
fiancé, Jonathan. Veteran
drummer for so many of our
musicals over the years, Joe
Adamick from Tottenham is
stepping in front of the footlights this time as sanatorium attendant Butterworth.
And to round out the excellent cast, two newcomers to
our stage: Annie Sweeney
from Angus plays the maid,
Miss Wells, and last but
hardly least, Christian Petrozza from Bradford takes

One woman show is a national success, and it’s coming to Alliston!
By Emily Wood
For one night only local
residents will have a chance
to see a Second City alumna
in the one woman comedy
Suddenly Mommy!, coming
to Alliston for the first Crazy
Pants Theatre Company fundraiser.
After their successful first
year in business, the youth
theatre company has found a
permanent home in Beeton.
Sarah Jane O’Donnell, artistic director of Crazy Pants
Theatre is passionate about
keeping theatre accessible
for kids, and decided to host
Photo by Richard Blanchard
Everett Residents prepare – About 50 Everett residents met Sunday afternoon to prepare their moves in their
battle to oppose the Official Plan Amendment which could
see the village increase by six times over the 20 years.
Lead by Chantal Gagnon, the Everett Ratepayers Association president, the discussion focused around the upcoming
review of the OP by Simcoe County council and the likely
Ontario Municipal Board hearing that will follow.
the fundraiser performance
to help make that possible.
Offering something entertaining for parents was also
important to her, since they
have been so supportive all
year in coming out to see
their kids on stage and bringing family and friends along
with them.
“This is for adults, it’s a
show for them so that they
can actually enjoy themselves and have a night
out without the kids,” says
O’Donnell. “It’s about
thanking them for everything they do throughout
the year, but also helping to
raise funds in a way that everybody benefits.”
Anne Marie Scheffler stars
in the one woman show
about motherhood, portraying a hilarious whirlwind of
characters in a sketch com-
edy style that will entertain
men and women alike.
“It’s just kind of the clash
of what she expected motherhood to be and what it truly is, and it’s hilarious.”
O’Donnell has seen Suddenly Mommy! herself since
she knows Scheffler personally and chose it for the fundraiser performance because
she knew it was sure to entertain.
Scheffler is an actress,
writer and comedian, known
for her work with Second
City and the Comedy Network. She also co-wrote and
co-stars in Spank! The Fifty
Shades Parody which has
performed sold out shows in
more than 60 cities in North
America.
Suddenly Mommy! has
been performed in New
York, Los Angeles and Toronto, and the big city entertainment is coming to Alliston on April 13. Scheffler is
originally from the area and
attended Banting Memorial
High School, helping to support her hometown friends at
Crazy Pants Theatre.
O’Donnell’s goal is to be
able to maintain the prices
that she has and eventually
be able to offer financial assistance to help cover the
costs of participating for
families who really need it.
“The kids want to be here
and it’s such an amazing
program for them because
they’re not just learning how
to act, they’re becoming
confident leaders, they’re
becoming a new generation of patrons for the arts,
they’re learning so much,”
says O’Donnell.
Many parents have also
reported that kids involved
in Crazy Pants have started
to do better at school, have
improved focus and even
learn to handle bullying in
a healthy way thanks to the
confidence developed from
being on stage.
The new home for Crazy
Pants Theatre is on Main
Street in Beeton and has
helped get the kids even
more involved. Theatre
students love to come and
spend time in a space that’s
their own, and O’Donnell
has even given them an area
inside that they can paint and
decorate themselves.
Before setting up in this
permanent space Sarah
drove around with as many
props as would fit in her car
to rented rehearsal spaces
around town. Now with
their own space the kids can
always have access to the
props they need and the store
front will help let people
know the theatre company
is here.
The space doesn’t lend itself to being a full theatre,
but is great rehearsal space.
Final performances will still
be performed around the
community in various theatres.
O’Donnell
encourages
everyone to check out the
show, as the fundraiser is a
great way to help keep theatre an option for as many
kids as possible, kids who
benefit in so many ways
from the process.
“People should not miss
this, because it is going to be
a fantastic night. And they’re
supporting youth theatre.”
Suddenly Mommy! will
be performed at the Circle
Theatre in Alliston on Sunday, April 13 at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are on sale for
$20 in advance and can be
purchased online at www.

Blackhorse Theatre conjures up a wicked comedy
The Blackhorse Village
Players Theatre are geared
up to open their latest comedy “The Kitchen Witches”
by Caroline Smith.
Winner of the 2005 Samuel French Canadian Playwrights Contest, this delicious comedy follows Isobel
Lomax (Margaret Brady of
Caledon) and Dolly Biddle
(Ginny Cathcart of Tottenham), who are two “mature”
cable-access cooking show
hostesses. Their 30 year old
rivalry is tested when circumstances put them together on a TV show, the insults
are flung harder than the
food! Dolly’s long-suffering
TV-producer son Stephen
(Julian Bachlow of Tottenham) tries to keep the two
divas on track, but as long as
Dolly’s dressing room is one
inch closer to the set than
Isobel’s, it’s a losing battle,
and unexpectedly the show
becomes a ratings hit with a
blend of Martha Stewart and
Jerry Springer.
The play promises plenty
of audience participation,
and during each performance a patron will have
an opportunity to become
a celebrity guest. Local
merchants are also encouraged to get involved to have
their businesses announced
as broadcast sponsors. For
more information on becoming a sponsor please contact
Cheryl at info@blackhorse.

Sugartones set to host zaniest show yet!
Photo submitted
Members of the Sugartones performed for the community for Banting Day at the Banting
Homestead Heritage Park in November 2013.
By Emily Wood
The Sugartones are looking forward to their upcoming variety show, a chance to
really showcase their range
and repertoire. It’s their
second annual show, but
members are confident that
this year’s performance will
blow the last one out of the
water.
“We’re getting to the point
where we know our sound
is good and we want to give
back to the audience as far
as making it a fun evening,”
says Sugartones member
Tracie Kennedy.
The Sugartones are a female barbershop chorus
made up of approximately
30 singers. Many of those
women had little singing experience when they joined
the group, if any. But over
two years the group has had
the help of an accomplished
director and the support of
each other to learn and grow
together, strengthening their
sound.
“It’s a great group of women, we’re all very focused on
doing the best we can with
our singing,” says Kennedy. “We’re a very supportive group, we’ve become
friends. We came together
as strangers, and we’ve all
become friends and that’s
really valuable to all of us.”
“So You Think You Can
Sing” will feature two hours
of performances from quartets and very large quartets
(VLQs), clarinetist Sean
Derraugh and the Banting
Memorial Glee Club, offering plenty of variety on
stage.
“It’s actually a variety
show, but it’s staged like a
competition,” says Kennedy.
“But it’s all going to be the
Sugartones competing in
different costumes and personas.”
There will even be celebrity judges commenting on
the performances. Deputy
Mayor of New Tecumseth,
Rick Milne, George Scott of
the Songwriter’s Showcase
and award winning actress
Chandra Pepper will make
up the judging panel.
“We’re just expecting that
there will be a lot of laughs,
and a lot of props and just a
lot of fun.”
Last year the group was
still fairly new and sang
mostly Christmas songs for
the show. But the group has
now had time to learn and
rehearse a wide selection of
songs, so Kennedy says the
show will be entirely different. The script was written
by members of the chorus
and local playwrights.
“Because it’s our second
annual show, we’ve only
been together a couple of
years, we’re very excited
about it.”
The Sugartones perform
frequently at community
events, retirement homes
and charity fundraisers, but
it’s rarely the entire chorus. This time members are
looking forward to performing as a complete group for
a change, in what they are
calling their “zaniest” show
yet.
Ticket sales will contribute to competitive efforts of
the group. They are currently gearing up for a competition in May held in London,
Ontario. They also hope to
qualify for the international
competition in November,
which will be in Kentucky.
“We’re a bunch of people
who love to sing and we love
to see the smiles on people’s
faces when they’re enjoying
our music,” says Kennedy.
The performances will
be held on Saturday, March
29 at Knox Presbyterian
Church, located at 160 King
Street South in Alliston. The
one day only show will have
a matinee performance at 2
p.m. and an evening show at
7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $20 for adults
and $10 for children 13 and
Essa inventory of
commercial properties
has its surprises
By Richard Blanchard
A systematic inventory of commercial places within Angus by the Essa Township Planning Department had some
surprises for council last week.
The inventory showed that there were 26 current units or
commercially zoned properties within the settlement area
of Angus.
“I wish that all our vacant buildings and properties were
full but I think that the township is on a good track,” said
Mayor Terry.
Dowdall. He noted that a new Crabby Joes and Coffee
Culture restaurants were under construction on Mill Street
and would open in several months. A large commercial development across from the No Frills supermarket is currently in the approval process and several new commercial
buildings are planned for there.
“We are also seeing a new dentist opening up in Angus
this month and the township offices gets phone calls about
new businesses on a regular basis,” said the mayor.
The report will give a guide to potential businesses looking for commercial space.

Renew New Tecumseth helps business owners and landlords
By Brian Lockhart
One thing a downtown
business core does not want
to see, are vacant store
fronts.
Not only does a vacant
Mental Health: coming
to a high school
parking lot near you
By Brock Weir
Suicide is the second-leading cause of death for young
Canadians between the ages of 15 and 34, and the Canadian Mental Health Association wants to be there for teens
when they need them – and on their own terms.
As doctors from across Ontario prepare to hit the ice
next weekend for the DOCS on Ice Tournament, which
will bring over 900 doctors to both Aurora and Newmarket for the three day event, all proceeds raised in the event
– a goal of $200,001 – will be funnelled into a “pioneering” new venture for the organization, which serves York
Region and South Simcoe.
“We are going to be launching one of Canada’s first
mobile mental health clinics for youth,” says Rebecca
Shields, CEO of the Canadian Mental Health Association
(CMHA) of York Region, of what they aim to do with the
money raised. “We are thrilled at this opportunity. [Our
Goal] is to work with our partners to ensure that all youth
are prepared to take care of their mental health, know
where to go for support, and have access to services.”
The CMHA is working with school boards and other
community partners to make the concept work, based on
similar models undertaken at Covenant House Vancouver
with their drop-in psychiatry model, as well as Calgary’s
“Alex” bus, which provides support for teens.
“Think about it as a rock band tour bus wrapped in graffiti,” says Ms. Shields. “It might sit at a mall one evening
or outside a school late one afternoon or evening, and in
different spots across York Region, and South Simcoe.”
Collaborating on this new initiative for the York Region
and South Simcoe areas are the Ontario Shores Mental
Health Centre, which is the CMHA’s research partner, as
well as York University in developing the model. They
are also being “innovative and responsive” in developing technology like mobile apps and social media methods not only to connect with people, but provide ways in
which young people can know where to actually find the
services. The CMHA hopes to have the bus on the road,
visiting area high schools and malls, as early as this fall.
store leave a negative impression, it means a building
owner is also taking a loss.
The Renew New Tecumseth program helps people
who are interested in starting a business with a store
front and helps fill vacant
buildings.
Business owners, once
accepted, can start their
new enterprise at a nominal
rental cost. A building owner
will also benefit from having
vacant space occupied - and
hopefully this will turn into a
long-term arrangement.
“The program allows people to start a business for a
low cost,” Explained project
coordinator Lisa Morrison.
“It keeps the buildings occupied and provides tenants for
building owners.”
The program has partnered with Focus, Nottawasaga Futures, and the
South Simcoe Arts Council,

HeatHer robertson
(HeatHer Margaret robertson MarsHall)
born MarcH 19tH, 1942, died MarcH 19tH, 2014
Beloved wife of writer/broadcaster, Andrew Marshall; mother of film
editor Aaron Marshall; stepmother of art archivist, Amy Marshall Furness,
and much-loved mentor to numerous budding writers in Canada, Heather
will be terribly missed by family and the many friends and colleagues she
made during her very productive writer’s life.
Heather will be best remembered for her magazine journalism and her
many books, including best-sellers, Reservations Are for Indians, Grass
Roots, and her award-winning first novel, Willie, A Romance, as well as
the other novels and non-fiction works which followed over a more-than40-year writing career. These include, Salt of the Earth, The Flying Bandit,
More Than a Rose, Writing From Life, Measuring Mother Earth, and her
most recent book, Walking Into Wilderness, which won the inaugural
Ontario Speaker of the Legislature Award in 2013.
She gave to her profession through more than her work, being a founding
member of both The Writers Union of Canada, and The Periodical Writers
Association of Canada. She also carried the quill for just remuneration
of electronic versions of freelance writers’ works in the definitive class
action lawsuits, Robertson v Thomson 1, and Robertson 2 which followed.
Robertson 1 went to the Supreme Court of Canada and successfully
enshrined freelance writers’ copyrights in electronic publications of their
works for the future. The resulting settlements remunerated writers for
works previously published without their agreement in databases and in
electronic versions of newspapers and magazines.
She was also president of the King Township Historical Society, a member
of the York Pioneer & Historical Society, and gave her time to many other
worthwhile pursuits over the years. She died in her sleep after successive
breast, colon, and brain cancers, in the early hours of her 72nd birthday.
She continued to work during this long period of illness, delighting in her
children and their four little boys, her adored grandchildren, Jackson (8),
Cameron (6), David (5), and Daniel (1).
Memorial Gatherings will be arranged in both Toronto, where she lived
for 22 years, and King City/Aurora area, where she spent her last 18 years,
in the near future. For information about these, please contact Andrew
Marshall via email at [email protected].

CRIC supports the 329 Army Cadets
CRIC (Community Recreation Improvement Committee) recently presented the
329 Army Cadets with a donation of $1,700 to help with
the repair of the portable
where they currently have
their local headquarters.
The existing roof on the
portable had been there for
15 years. The roof was leaking and the water was coming into the portable and
damaging the equipment
that the Cadets use on a
weekly basis.
In addition to the CRIC
donation, the group did
some fundraising and raised
enough money to replace the
shingles and the plywood
under the shingles which had
started to rot.
The portable is now dry inside and the next step is to do
another fundraiser to insulate and install siding on the
entire portable this summer
so they do not experience
any further damage from the
elements.
The 329 Army Cadets is
made up of male and female
youth aged 12–19 years of
age.
The Cadet program focus-
es on making the youth into
responsible members of the
community through actions
such as environmental, citizenship and community activities. They are also taught
teamwork and leadership
skills as well as the importance of volunteering in the
community.
The 36th Annual CRIC
Car Draw & Dance will take
place on Saturday, May 3,
2014 at 7 p.m. at the Tottenham Community Centre.
Tickets are $60 which admits 4 people to the event.
There are over $40,000
in prizes to be won and the
Earlybird Draw for $500
sponsored by F&P Manufacturing is being held on Saturday, April 5, 2014 at the
Tottenham Home Hardware.
Get your tickets today and
help CRIC continue to support local community groups
like the 329 Army Cadets.
Tickets can be purchased at
the Tottenham Health Food
Store, McGoey Brothers Insurance, Man of Yorke Pub
and other local businesses.
For more information,
please visit www.tottenhamcric.ca
