Winners were presented with new books (provided by the New Tecumseth Public Library) and gift cards to Circle Theatre by coordinator Shira Harrison McIntyre Monday night at Town Hall in Alliston. Participants were asked to review books that were made into movies, and present an argument on which was better – the book, or the movie – in a literary document. The first place winners, pictured here from left, are: Deb Rouleau on her comparison of ‘Meet Jack Reacher’; Kaelyn Nippard on why the book ‘Gone With the Wind’ was better than the movie; Alana Keenan with her T:11” comparison on the Harry Potter book/movie series; Kade Medaglia on his comparison of ‘How to Train a Dragon’ with Shira Harrison McIntyre (far right). by Wendy Gabrek The Town of New Tecumseth has been selected to receive an infrastructure grant from the province in the amount of $688,000. The grant, approved trough the provinces Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF), will be used for bridge work and upgrades to storm sewer connections and related road restoration projects. In total, 78 grants were approved. Orangeville and Shelburne were the closest municipalities to New Tecumseth to also received grant approvals. “Roads, bridges and water infrastructure are essential to rural communities across the province. By partnering with communities and investing in these projects, our govern- ment is committed to ensuring municipalities have the tools they need to build and maintain critical infrastructure,” said Jeff Leal, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. “Investing in essential infrastructure projects not only increases the quality of life in communities across Ontario, but also creates jobs and generates significant economic growth in areas that need it most. I’m pleased that we are moving forward with our plan to support small, rural and northern communities, and we will continue partnering with municipalities across Ontario to make unprecedented infrastructure investments,” said Brad Duguid, Minister of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure.

The TIMES – March 5, 2015 – Page 3 big changes to relay for Life alliston by Wendy Gabrek Relay for Life is changing the rules in 2015 to make the event more accessible to everyone. The first big change is the time. Normally an all-night event, this year Relay takes place from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. – so no need to setup a tent, or dust off the sleeping bag. You get to sleep in your own bed! The next big change is the team structure. Don’t have a team? Don’t worry! Singles can now register for the event – although teams are still more than welcome. Registration is $25 ($35 as of May 1st), and each participant must raise a minimum of $250. Relay is also bringing back the use of a baton in the relay itself. Symbolic in many ways, a baton will be used to show how we’re all in this together – whether you’ve lost a loved one to cancer, are diagnosed or are in remission. For those who have been taken from us too soon, we will carry the baton on their behalf. This is the 11th Annual Relay for Life in Alliston. Held at the Alliston Fairgrounds (previously held at the 8th Avenue Youth Centre) this event has raised $1,546,000 to date for the Canadian Cancer Society. Each year, more than 600 people take part in Relay locally, with many more volunteering behind the scenes. As for what else you can expect at the 2015 Relay? Organizers tell me there is going to be a disgusting amount of food on hand, with local caterers and restaurants generously supporting the event. There will also be a survivors lap, sale of luminaries, and costumes/themes are always encouraged! For more information, to register or to get involved go to www.relayforlifeontario. ca or call 1-866-201-6202. “Accept the baton and walk to fund vital support services and Canada’s most promising cancer research!” Note: the Relay for Life Team Fundraiser, a province-wide garage sale, will take place on Saturday, May 23rd in each of New Tecumseth’s three communities. More details to be announced. Save the date and spread the word. LIMITED • Specializing in Farms • All Styles of Fencing • Installed & Repaired 705-435-2770 RR 1, EGBERT, ONT.

The significance is “sharing the responsibility of the load” that cancer brings. We all have an obligation to help where we can, support those going through treatment and our survivors. Batons will be used during the Relay on June 12th. Photos by Wendy Gabrek Luminaries, commemorating the loss of a loved one to cancer, were created and sold at the ‘Relay Reunion’ last Thursday night.

Dear editor: The Rotary Club of Alliston has been working with partners in the community for 60 years to provide enhanced services, materials, facilities and programs for many local organizations. We have undertaken some major recreational projects and with the generous support of the community have made them something we can all be proud of The Club’s first major project was the Rotary Pool which has provided great enjoyment to many families for many years. On the Club’s 50th anniversary, our second major recreational project, was the Rotary Adventure Playground. The Adventure Playground started as a modest $85,000 project and with community support grew to a $365,000 complete redevelopment of the playground. Now in our 60th year the Rotary Club is pleased to continue this legacy of family recreational facilities in Riverdale Park with the expansion of the splash pad, the addition of sun shelters and the creation of walkways to join all three facilities. We have listened to the needs of families using the playground areas and incorporated their concerns into the design. The final design for the splash pad expansion has been approved and our construction schedule is in place. The Slash Pad expansion will increase the pad from the existing 800 sq.ft. to 3400 sq.ft . We are actively seeking inkind donations of materials and volunteers which would help to significantly reduce our total costs of the project. The Rotary Club of Alliston has raised more than $100,000 for this project and the Town of New Tecumseth has contributed funding of $100,000. To make this project a success we are looking for additional partners to assist in helping us meet our financial needs which could reach $300,000 upon completion. In addition, sweat equity will be a large component of our needs and we welcome your help. If you, your friends or your business associates are interested in contributing to the cost of a specific piece of equipment or to the overall expansion project or providing in-kind services, please contact Patricia Middlebrook, 705 435-9720 or Paul Foster 705 434-9230. Rotary Club of Alliston oGS meeting Simcoe County Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society meets at 2 p.m. Saturday March 7, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 79 Ferris Lane, Barrie. Topic is Photo Restoration presented by Keith Butler of Extreme Imaging. Further information can be obtained from the OGS website simcoebogs.com finished, the house is clean, and the kids are in bed. This trifecta of ingredients usually only comes together for me on a Friday or Saturday night. I guess this makes me a “Weekend Warrior” of sorts. I did “cheat” a few times during the month-long challenge, although I said “no” more than I indulged – I wasn’t perfect, although I don’t think that was the point. The Health Unit presented this challenge to make us more aware of our drinking habits, and to see what changes, if any, we might experience when we stop, or slow, our drinking. Since I’m not a heavy drinker (usually) I didn’t find the #R2BT Challenge to be an issue for me, but I still had lot of people who read this column, and know me in person, kept me true to my word and reminded me “not to drink” when I attended social functions – of which I attend a lot in a month, due to my work. I don’t think I’ll ever not drink, I don’t see a reason not to. I have control over my habits and I can take it or leave it without feeling one way, or the other. I’m also not a fan of hangovers, so going to bed early and waking up spry is a great way to keep up with my busy schedule. I also don’t like the way other people get when they drink – sloppy. Slurring their words, losing volume control, getting huggy – that just looks bad to me. I’m loud enough and a definite hugger to begin with. Booze is also expensive and the tannins in the reds I prefer stain everything – including my teeth and lips. People who have been drinking also smell bad. They smoke too much, and make bad food choices, that day, and the next. It’s true, booze does loosen our inhibitions and make us feel happy and even sexy in the short term, it takes away our issues (or at least puts them on the back burner for a time) and makes us feel like rock stars. That is, until the next day. Dehydration, swollen face and hands, headaches, lack of energy and anxiety. Can I talk about that for a minute? Anxiety. That’s a huge issue with drinking. Booze may solve anxiety issues in the moment – loosening you up at a party or event – but boy, when the drink wears off, it’s anxiety central. I don’t know about you, but I can’t even leave my house when I’m hungover. Maybe just to go to McDonald’s... The Go Thirsty Challenge wasn’t much of a challenge for me, but maybe that’s because I knew I’d be drinking anyway during the month of February. Sometimes, some days, you just need a glass of wine. I guess I’m a poor test subject, but at least I admit to it. Cheers.

County councillors gave approval to staff to begin the process of evaluating and creating a short list of viable sites for a combine material management and organics processing plant. The decision came last Tuesday after council were given a presentation from Connestoga-Rovers and Associates about the plant. The process will be a long one which will extend over almost year. Possible sites will be chosen and then narrowed down to a short list which will be presented to county council early next year. Public consultation will be ongoing throughout the process before the final stage when the county decides on a site. About 13 hectares would be required for the organics plant and 7 hectares for the material handling operation.

Lenten Dinner PHOTO BY WENDY GABREK “LET THEM EAT STONES” – Myrtle Brighty, a 90 year old resident of Kingsmere Retirement Living in Alliston, is taking a stance against the proposed gravel pit in Adjala–Tosorontio. On her own volition, Myrtle created a petition that she took door-to-door in the residence, explaining the issues surrounding the gravel pit and the potential environmental impact. She achieved 77 signatures in just a few hours. Taking things one step further, Myrtle is now working with Janet Bubgell, a former municipal councillor and activist (who has presented her anti-gravel pit opinions to Adjala–Tosorontio council). Together, the ladies held a letter writing forum on Monday afternoon. The deadline to halt the process of constructing a sand and gravel pit in Tos is Monday, March 9th, through the Ministry of Natural Resources. The MNR must resolve all written objections before the process can continue. Although Myrtle has no children to continue her family name, she says what she’s doing is important, and she feels obligated to take a stand. “They’ll ruin the atmosphere, the environment and the water,” she told The Times. The proposed gravel pit, owned by Nelson Aggregate Co., would be located on the 13th Sideroad at the 5th Line in Tosorontio. The project would likely bring one truck every 85 seconds through the Alliston community, en route to destinations in Barrie and Toronto. With the population expected to double in New Tecumseth over the next 15 years, those fighting the gravel pit ask, “What will our future generations eat if all of the prime farmland is taken from us to build pits (that are never rehabilitated)? Stones?”. Bubgell will be submitting the letters by the March 9th deadline to the MNR and hopes this will stop the process for further review on the impact this will have to water, endangered species of birds that use the land, roadways and the environment.

Norah’s daughter, Patricia Middlebrook, prepared a long list of historical events that took place in her mother’s lifetime and said, “This only scratches the surface of all the changes my mother has seen in her lifetime. She is truly an amazing woman. The journey continues as she begins her 102nd year.” Born on March 1, 1914, Norah Edith Clarke grew up in Toronto where her father was a shoes salesman. She was an only child so her mother usually invited one or more of her friends to go with them on outings. One of her fondest memories was her mother packing a lunch and taking them to the CNE. As a teenager during the Great Depression, Norah worked at Woolworths, she made $15 a week. Norah met her husband, Thomas Edward Charles Bullock, on her way to bible class. They were married on September 8, 1937. During her lifetime, Norah has made various wood works, was a Brownie leader, an avid gardener, a seamstress, and loved golfing, bowling, curling and playing bridge. She is also an avid traveller. Norah has three children, Roland, Patricia and Carol. She has eight grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. RICHARD BLANCHARD Adjala–Tosorontio council has decided not to submit comments on the suitability of a proposed aggregate operation in former Tosorontio township at the corner of the 5th Sideroad and County Road 13 to the Ministry of Natural Resources. Council discussed the issue last Wednesday morning at a special council meeting. There was a recommendation from Ward 3 councillor Bob Meadows which sought to have “council and planning personnel review the application package (from Nelson Aggregates) and prepared an executive summary of possible objections with reasons by Friday Feb. 27 to be circulated that day to council.” Council would have meet this past Monday to review the document and other objections and submit a letter to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Nelson Aggregate prior to March 9, 2015. Council went into closed session to discuss the ramifications of this motion with its lawyer and over an hour of discussion, returned to public session. Council decided to not move forward with Meadows’ recommendation and to not submit any comments on the proposal to the Ministry of Natural Resources. Councillor Floyd Pinto, in an email, Wednesday, said that council was advised that there were fears that comments to the Ministry of the Natural Resources would be seen as a sign of potential bias in the upcoming zoning hearings for the property later this year. “Our township lawyer informed us that the deadline of 9th March is only for public concerns, that deadline does not effect council, as council will have an open public meeting in April sometime at the call of the mayor for the zoning, It is at that meeting that council can voice their opinions and the public will also get a chance to voice their concerns,” he wrote. Deputy mayor Doug Little said Thursday that the advice from the township lawyer about bias caused council’s decision. “I know that it wasn’t popular with some of the people at the meeting but there will the opportunity at the public meeting on the rezoning of the property to allow council and the public to speak about it. . Council wants to make sure that there is no indication of bias before this process begins. I don’t want to see the township involved in a needless court case about bias,” he said. Anyone in Ontario will have an opportunity to comment on the proposal to the Ministry of Natural Resources up until next Monday, March 9. Comments on the proposal must be sent to both the applicant: Nelson Aggregate Company, 2433 No. 2 Sideroad, P.O. Box 1070, Burlington, Ont., L7P 0G8, Attention Steven Drew. Nelson’s email address is, [email protected] And to the Ministry of Natural Resources Midhurst District Office, 2284 Nursery Road, Midhurst, Ont. L0L 1X0.

Carrying signs and saying, “They’ll never grow back, not for a 100 years...” this group of concerned citizens is demanding a public consultation take place before any further trees are removed from the site. Although the owners of the property have all of their documentation in order – issued by the County of Simcoe, which controls the Forest Conservation By-Laws with help from the NVCA – residents of Beeton asked that further clear cutting be stopped until all factors, including: future flooding, damage to infrastructure (bridges/sewer), impact on wildlife, a reforestation plan that works, the creation of an Emergency Preparedness Plan, and endangered species living in and using the forest could be examined. Previous applications had been submitted, and removed, to develop the land being cleared into a housing subdivision.

When asked to think of Irish cuisine, many people might immediately think of corned beef and cabbage or even the versatile potato. But the Emerald Isle is rich in culinary history, and some might be surprised to learn Irish cuisine is about more than just the staples served on St. Patrick’s Day. For those who want to try their hand at something new this year, consider the following recipe for “Cider-Braised Chicken and Cabbage” from Margaret M. Johnson’s “The Irish Pub Cookbook” (Chronicle Books).

The TIMES – March 5, 2015 – Page 9 NEW TECUMSETH TIMES It’s an Alliston/Schomberg Jr. ‘C’ final! PHOTOS BY BRIAN LOCKHART The Alliston Hornets won their semi-final series against the Orillia Terriers Friday (Feb. 27) night at the New Tecumseth Recreation Centre. The series last five games before the Hornets ended it on Friday with a 5–0 win. The Hornets will now go on to play the Schomberg Cougars in the Georgian Mid Ontario Hockey League Junior C final. BY BRIAN LOCKHART It’s going to be a good championship final series for fans of Junior C Hockey this year as the Alliston Hornets will be facing the Schomberg Cougars to battle for the Georgian Mid Ontario Hockey League 2015 title. The Hornets won their semi-final series against the Orillia Terriers in five games ending on Friday night (Feb. 27) in Alliston with the Hornets shutting out Orillia 5–0 in the final game. This will be the eighth consecutive season the Hornets have gone to the GMOHL championship. They won the title six consecutive years from 2008 to 2013 and went to the final last year, passing the torch to the Penetang Kings. The fact that Schomberg is in the final will make this a great series for fans who want to attend all the games. The the two towns are only 20 minutes apart. Schomberg finished the regular season in sixth place and battled all year as a middle of the pack team before really coming alive in the playoffs and knocking out the third place Huntsville Otters in the quarter-final then going on to dispatch the Penetang Kings in four games in the semi-final round. “It’s parity in the League. We said this from the beginning. There’s a lot of parity and games have been close,” Is how Hornets head coach Clay Birkett explained the fact that the Hornets and Cougars will be meeting in the final. “We’ve now played the eighth place team (Fergus in the quarter-final) the seventh place team (Orillia in the semi-final) and now the sixth place time. I think it’s going to be a hell of a good series. They’re two fast teams. I think both teams have a lot of depth and you’ve got good goal tending. Being local like this, it’s great for the fans and great for the local area.” The last time the Schomberg team was in the League final was way back in 2003 when they won the League championship in a final series against the Stayner Siskins. Game one of the GMOHL championship final series was scheduled to get underway on Wednesday, March 4, in Alliston. Results were not available at press time, but the Times will be there for every game of the series. Steam win over Coyotes in five games BY BRIAN LOCKHART The Tottenham Steam have advanced in the Greater Metro League playoffs after winning their best of five series against the Alliston Coyotes. It took all five games to settle the series after the Alliston team battled hard against the first place Steam in an attempt to upset the playoffs. The series got underway on Wednesday, February 18, in Tottenham with the Steam coming out on top with a 4–1 win. Game two of the series was back in Alliston on the following night at the New Tecumseth Recreation Centre. The Coyotes had a huge second period scoring three unanswered goals that gave them a 4–2 lead going into the final frame. The Steam battled back scoring two in the third period, but the Alliston squad pushed hard scoring two more to end the game at 6-3 to tie the series 1–1. The Steam moved ahead in game three at the Tottenham Community Centre arena with a 4–2 win that gave them a one game advantage. Moving back to Alliston for game four, the Steam where hoping to finish the series. Tottenham opened the scoring with a single in the first period. The Coyotes lit up the scoreboard early in the second period to tie it up. By the end of the frame the Steam were leading 3–2. With the pressure on the Coyotes to stay in the game, the Alliston team scored early in the third period and managed to keep the Steam out of their zone. The game went into overtime to decide the winner. With no goals scored in overtime, the teams returned for a second overtime period. This time Alliston’s Kaleb Rossel managed to find the back of the Steam net to take the win and keep the series alive. The final game in Tottenham again came down to overtime when the first period ended 1–1, and no scoring in the second frame. The Steam took a lead early in the third period, but again the Coyotes fought back scoring the tie goal two minutes later. The series was decided when the teams returned for an overtime peried. Tottenham got the winner on a powerplay to end the game at 3–2 and take the series. It was an exciting series that saw the Coyotes step up to give the Steam some real competition. The Steam will now continue on to the next round to face the Halton Ravens.

The event was a huge success, with an estimated 350 people in attendance throughout the day. In total, with silent, live and sealed bid auction takings, ticket sales, and personal and corporate donations, the event raised a whopping $21,000. These funds will be used to offset the cost of a wheelchair accessible van, purchased by the Scime family in September, 2014, which cost $40,000. Jesse’s family and friends came out in spades for the event, as did community–minded residents of New Tecumseth, local councillors and even family friends from as far away as Ottawa. There are many people to thank for the success of this fundraiser. First, and foremost is Jesse himself. A popular young man, Jesse had no problem selling tickets and encouraging attendance. In fact, Jesse sold the most tickets of all! Next is the Fundraising Committee: Richard Norcross, Susan Iacoucci, Al Lord, Pat Jordan, Chris Ross and myself. Over the course of many moons, we divided and conquered a whole lot of responsibilities, and boy did our hard work pay off! We, the committee, would also like to say thank you to the following people and organizations for their contributions: The Muddy Water Hotel for hosting the event, Ted Blowes – Original 6 hockey hoodie and Wendel Clark Jersey, We Love Sound Entertainment – two pairs of Toronto Maple Leaf tickets vs. San Jose and Ottawa, and $100 in Cora’s gift certificates, Carl Viveiros, Taste of Freedom Restaurant - $100 gift certificate, Inspired Thinking Marketing - $100 cost to print the tickets, Help the Kids Play - $800, Michael Worrod Memorial Fund - $1500, Tottenham Old-timers Slo-pitch euchre tournament - $300, photography session from Jenn Gilbert, gift basket from Paw-Fect Pets ‘N’ Supplies, Beeton Legion - cash donation, Barrie Colts two Thursday night passes, Tottenham Steam family pass and signed jersey, Alliston Hornets two season passes, Split Endz gift basket, Walter fox - painting, Brett Hirons - sunset picture, Pat Jordan silent auction items, Jim & Nancy Milligan, Ray Lisk cash donation, Kevin Lord Memorial Foundation - $500, BAA and FAB for a signed Bobby Orr print, Al Lord Bluray DVD player, Cremahh Sabina Morell $25 gift card and basket, Firehouse Pizza Jason Bowers $50 gift card, Foodland Beeton Monica Tremmler Keurig machine and ticket sales, Foodland Tottenham Johanne Leduc $160 in groceries and selling ticket sales, Jaclyn Parsons basket wrapping and balloons, Sean Bourke Band, Bluegrass committee four tickets weekend passes, Adam Parsons guitarist, Daddy Red Circus, Niagara Falls getaway donated by Wayne Mayberry, Wolsley - radio, Hava Java for a gift basket and selling tickets, Magical Duda, Pittsburgh Penguins Organization - autographed David Perron Jersey, Maple Leaf Organization - autographed John Bernier Jersey, Currie Towing and Trucking Barrie – two jackets with hats and tool pack, Nikki Kowalski, massage therapist – gift certificate, Beeton Barber Shop - gift certificate, Nescenti’s Esthetics Day Spa - gift certificate, Nottawasaga Foundation $2000, anonymous $2500, Lisa S. $500, Tecumseth Shrine Club $500, Mayberry Heating Ltd. $100, Tottenham Cleaners $300, Oddfellows (Aurora Chapter) $300, Beeton Fire Fighters Association, Tottenham Steam, Alliston Hornets, The Times of New Tecumseth, Snapd South Simcoe, and all of the people who gave cash the day of the event and contributed by purchasing auction items.

Also, in April (18th & 19th) an indoor ball hockey tournament will be held at the Tottenham Community Centre for Jesse. Register online through the Knights of Columbus Tottenham.
