The money, prize winnings from the 2014 Kraft Hockeyville competition, will be put into the Parks, Recreation & Culture budget for the facility and will be spent on items that will “have the biggest impact on arena users”. The Beeton Arena was entered in the Hockeyville competition by Dianne Sceviour. Diane encouraged friends and family to support her in her cause which resulted in 139 people uploading 163 letters and pictures outlining why Beeton deserved to be named “Hockeyville”. However it was a letter from Carry Aultman that caught the judges eye, making us a contender. This was Carry’s letter: ‘Black and Yellow Runs Through Our Veins’: When you think of community there are words that are intrinsically linked together; support, pride, understanding, and friendship. These words ring even more true in a small town like Beeton. It is a community where we came to build our lives together, to raise our children and will most likely grow old together. It is a community that clearly understands the traditional values that this town was originally built on. I have had the distinct pleasure of watching my son grow and flourish into an amazing young man on that tiny sheet of ice in the Beeton Memorial Arena, a place where he and our community worked hard to raise money for students who were waging a battle against cancer, where through other fundraisers Beeton has supported many a worthy cause in our area, brought neighbours together to celebrate the dedication of individuals who have loved that arena and given much to its preservation and ultimately the preservation of small town hockey.

Council agreed to the request. BY WENDY GABREK Council has approved a request from the Rotary Club of Alliston to match funds with them for the enhancement of the Alliston splash pad as part of Rotary’s 60th Anniversary celebrations in 2015. The $100,000 from the Town of New Tecumseth will be taken from the HEC (Hydro) fund and will be matched by the Rotary Club, through fundraising. For $200,000, the Alliston splash pad will be increased in size from 800 sq.ft. to roughly 2400–3200 sq.ft. (accommodating 50 more people at one time); get a pathway, connecting the Rotary Park, splash pad and Rotary Pool; sunshades around the splash pad; and any landscaping required. In the presentation given by Rotarians Bill Wray and Paul Foster, they acknowledged their “bad timing”, referring to the concluded 2014 budget and the upcoming election, but said they needed council’s approval to move forward with the project. “We want the park, splash pad and pool to be the centerpiece of our community,” Wray said. Although the Rotary Club has no preliminary plans for what the new development will look like, Foster said that the scale and scope of the project would vary as the exact amount of funding they could contribute was determined. They already have $65,000 to contribute, with a major fundraiser planned in the fall. Over the years, the Rotary Club of Alliston has built the outdoor pool, held beef barbecues, contributed to Potato Festival, provided dictionaries to elementary school students, hosted the Alliston Night Lit Santa Claus Parade, and provided grants to secondary school students entering post secondary education. As a registered charity, donations made to the Rotary Club are eligible for a tax receipt – for those who would like to contribute to For over 90 years The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair has been celebrating the best in Canadian agriculture, equine and food. We are looking for a commemorative poster that provides a contemporary and vibrant view of what The Royal is today. The winning design will receive $2,500 and passes to the Fair!

The TIMES – July 17, 2014 – Page 3 Ducks for Bucks winners claim prize money PHOTO BY WENDY GABREK Pictured, from left: Tottenham–Beeton & District Chamber of Commerce president Jess Prothero; 2nd Place winner Sarah Chisnall; 1st Place Winner Joe Silva; 3rd Place winner Debbie Hill. BY WENDY GABREK On Friday, July 11, the winners of the Tottenham– Beeton & District Chamber of Commerce (TBDCC) ‘Ducks for Bucks’ fundrais- er were awarded their prize monies. First place winner Joe Silva said he’s going to use his $500 prize to “pay bills”. This was Silva’s first time buying a duck in the Ducks for Bucks River Race, a decision he doesn’t regret. “I was told I was buying the duck,” Silva said jokingly. He found out he had won on Continued from FRONT “We are the community to stuffs the stands to support a small team of children on their quest to win the Championship and cheers enthusiastically no matter what the outcome. We are the community to continues to instill our children with the belief that dreams are possible no matter how small the place, that pride and honour are still noble characteristics. WE are Hockeyville, we just need a small hand from you. It is far too easy to shrug off our arena because we are a small town, and it is awfully run down, but that would be a shame. There are many things that our arena does not have and many more that require a bit more than TLC, but our barn offers so much more than that too. It supports community dances, fundraisers, the fall fair, honey-fest, curling, figure skating, friendly pick up hockey games, rep and local league games, and of course the opportunity to not only learn new skills but foster a love for hockey that is palpable. Come and visit, sit and enjoy one of our games in the old barn (but remember to wear something warm), and you too might find it hard to deny that the Black and Yellow runs through your veins too. Stinger pride is born here and grows stronger with each generation, and I am so very proud to be apart of this community.” In the end, Beeton finished in the Top 8 of the East division. The Medi-Can Multiplex in Sylvan Lake, Alberta won the grand prize of $100,000 in arena upgrades and the honour pf hosting an NHL pre-season game in their hometown. Kraft runs the annual Hockeyville competition to “give back to the communities that support them,” according to Kraft rep. Gatward. “It is Canada’s game, after all!” Upgrades to Beeton Arena Do you have duvets, comforters & bedding to wash? Also single & triple loaders for all your laundry needs. Save time and money!

Second place winner Sarah Chisnall said she is going to use her prize winnings of $250 to buy floor mats and a trunk liner for her new car. She bought her duck at the Tottenham Community Week Street Festival the day of the race and although she normally supports the Ducks for Bucks fundraiser by purchasing several tickets, this year she bought just one ticket. “It only takes one to win!” she said. And she was sure right about that! Third place winner Debbie Hill, a TBDCC member and Legion member, sold herself her winning ticket! She takes home $100. Hill has been buying Ducks for Bucks tickets “since the beginning” and this year she says, “There was only one ticket left in my book so I bought it!” This lucky winner has also won prizes at the annual C.R.I.C. Car Draw and the Classic Car & Truck Show. Ducks for Bucks (formerly ‘The Duckie Doo Race’) is a project of the TBDCC and benefits businesses in the community through ongoing chamber support. In 2014, 370 ducks were sold in total. Maleficent DAILY at 2:00 and 8:00pm MONDAY JULY 21 FRIDAY JULY 25 at 10:00am COMING SOON www.circletheatre.ca Challenge your green thumb.

Dear editor: Congratulations Tottenham on another fantastic Community Week! Once again the community comes together and does a great job with an event. The BTBIA would like to thank all of the volunteers who gave their time and energy. A special thank you to the dedicated committee that organizes this event throughout the year, as well as the Town of New Tecumseth for all their support. And most of all a huge thank you to the outstanding business community that comes through year after year with generous support. Many of the great events that happen in Tottenham are made possibly because of these generous, community spirited business owners. Thank you! Bo Niederhuber, Chair / BTBIA Community Week Fun Run Dear editor: The second annual Tottenham Community Week 2K Fun Run/5K Run through the Tottenham Conservation Area on July 2 was a great success. When I approached the Tottenham Community Week Committee last year, I envisioned a healthy and fun option for people of all ages. This year’s event built on what we started last year and thanks to so many people, it was another memorable addition to Tottenham’s community week. The Beardsalls, Andrew and Ben, came out again this year, once again inspiring all, including young runners who witness the speed and ease at which Andrew and Ben complete the course. Andrew ran the 5K in 17:30, setting a new course record. It was also great to see young 12 yearold Charlotte Barber of Loretto lead the female runners with a time of 22:37. A few other competitors came out for the second year, but it’s good to see new faces too. I’d like to thank Chris Ross for his generous donation of water and for gathering many needed volunteers. Also, I want to thank Run Dufferin (Margery and Bob) for providing their expertise in course set up and registration again this year. Their series of events, offered through Run Dufferin, showcase our area’s landscape with various runs, including the Island Run in Orangeville on September 1 and the challenging Run the Coyote 14.4K event through Mono Cliffs at the end of September. Check out RunDufferin.com for details on their various events. Finally, thanks to Glen Shaw of Walton Financial, Joanne Leduc and her entourage from Foodland for providing a fabulous barbecue and grab bags, and of course the members of the Tottenham Community Week Committee – especially Colleen Rideout. See you next year!

Ray Lisk, Golf Tournament Convener Beyond mad in Beeton! Dear editor: The developer off Daniele Avenue in Beeton doesn’t seem to understand that its up to him to ensure the roads are kept clean. Not once have we seen the developer sweep the street. On two occasions in the past few months I have seen the town truck come by and he did a good job. But that’s my tax dollars doing that! How come the towns developer buddies get away with whatever they want to do or better yet, not do? I asked about access to the site four years ago at the first presentation meeting. The answer that night was that they would have to come in that way they had no choice. They would enlist the use of labour to flag the vehicles through the subdivision. This action has yet to be seen. That night I also asked why Daniele Ave. South was not being extended to Main Street to allow two viable entrance/exit roads for the 160 new homes to be built. Instead Daniele Ave South will dead end with a Trail entrance. I have to ask now four years later, Is this proper planning and engineering? The town have sacrificed the ratepayers of Daniele Ave. N for the profit of a developer. We have a dust clould every time a car or truck comes down Daniele. My car has been parked for the last two days. Its covered in dust and now I am beyond being just mad! We have had to put up with dump truck after dump truck for weeks now. How do you explain the constant running of heavy loaded dump trucks down my street at all hours. Last Monday night one came in around 10 p.m. and dumped a load and this wasn’t the first time we have noticed after hours dumping. The following morning one showed up at 6:40 a.m. Just tonight at 9 p.m. (July 10), another truck dumping. They were all from the same company that has been driving down our residential street. So the information the town supplied us with must be false. The representative of the town had stated that it must have be a rouge truck illegally dumping on the site. I may have been born at night but fortunately it wasn’t last night! Why does the town lie to us? I thought they were limited from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., but it must be different when one lives on the other side of the “tracks that lead to Nowhere” in Beeton. These trucks are for the most part older and probably in possible poor condition as one had shed a wheel last Friday July 4th while navigating Daniele Gate across the tracks. Imagine if that wheel had come off in the middle of town at speed, or out on the 8th Line at greater speed. We have only just begun to see a small amount of truck traffic. It will get worse once the tractor trailers start to roll in with site services and construction material. How will they navigate the three corners through the residential area in order to access the site? The big equipment floats have had a hard time with all these corners, so it will be the same with transports soon. How many heavy laden concrete trucks will pass my house? I don’t think I can count that high, I don’t have any little letters after my name like the town director who I believe I heard state on Rogers TV council broadcast, something like (not a direct quote but somewhat like) “Normally construction barricades are left in place until first occupancies are approved to stop the migration of construction related activity into existing residential areas”. Continued on PAGE 5 Community signs a year in the making Dear editor: The installation of the Tottenham community service signs at the north and south ends of town represented the completion of a year-long process headed up by the BTBIA’s Bo Niederhuber. It was his vision to see the long-serving former signs replaced with a design that would more appropriately reflect community pride and showcase the emblems of the groups that build and service Tottenham. It began with an original design submitted by Bo, which survived fairly intact throughout the revisions and fabrication processes, and Bo remained an instrumental part of the collaborative team along with Columbus Ironworks, and my company – Kelly Sign. Any groups wishing to be represented can contact the BTBIA, or the Chamber of Commerce offices. Russell Kelly, Tottenham The TIMES – July 17, 2014 – Page 5 Health care cuts for refugees wrong Dear editor: Canada has long been a safe haven for those seeking protection from violence and persecution in troubled parts of the world, but our reputation for compassion has been called into question by the Conservative government’s decision to deny refugee claimants health care. Since 1957, the federal government has provided health coverage to refugees arriving in Canada, many of whom are among the most vulnerable people in the world. Two years ago Minister Jason Kenney ended this compassionate practice, forcing doctors to deny coverage to some of the people in the greatest need. The human toll has been considerable. Refugees, most of whom will become Canadian residents, who can’t access care typically delay seeking treatment until their conditions worsen. That leads to undiagnosed and untreated problems, greater health complications and higher costs to the health care system when they eventually arrive for treatment in emergency centres. This downloads costs to already cash-strapped provincial governments, and shifts care to Emergency rooms, which are the most expensive way to deliver health care. But worst of all, denying the initial care creates preventable suffering among the most vulnerable. The impact on pregnancies is particularly heartwrenching. In many cases refugees’ newborns are premature, underdeveloped, with neurological problems and other complications because their mothers couldn’t get prenatal care. These newborns, who are Canadian by birth, will end up costing our health and education systems much more. It’s no wonder virtually every medical organization in Canada was outraged at these cuts and the medical community has held annual rallies opposing them since they were announced. The Federal Court recently agreed, striking down the cut because it “puts [refugee claimants’] lives at risk, and perpetuates the stereotypical view that they are cheats, that their refugee claims are ‘bogus’…It undermines their dignity and serves to perpetuate [their] disadvan- Truck traffic continues to cause concerns for Beeton residents This statement was in reference to access for students from the existing residential area to a new (under construction) school site in Alliston ( the center of the universe) which will open in the fall. Things must be different here in Beeton. We have no barricades, only poorly designated un-manned access points and poorly designed road structure. Which seems to me is based on how cheap they can build it instead of building roads that will help the flow of traffic. Just look at the development map it is so full of twists and turns and will create traffic headaches for the rest of time. There is only one way to drive out of the mess that they are creating. I predict no one from the new area will use either Dugdale or McCullough to enter or exit the area once built. There is still time to demand a bridge to be built as the development land to the south has not been planned as of yet, I believe. To add to that, at the rate of speed they have been developing this area so far its probably still feasible for us to demand a access road for construction purposes from Simcoe Road 1 on the edge of the village. This road should have been demanded by the town right from the beginning, four years ago. It seems to me that there is not much activity out there and they must be way behind. Now that they are behind we will begin to see a increase in construction traffic volume due to a catch up schedule demanding more material in a shorter time frame. That action I feel, will further impact the existing residences even more and disrupt or lives to a much greater extent then even now. Start building at the Daniele Ave side and work out following the temp road back to the main street. Shame on the town representatives. The Town raises my taxes, increases my water rates and destroyed our quality of life. The site has been under construction for about nine months and I believe the town has not collected not even a nickel in development charges because as a council they voted to give a big gift to there developer buddies. While the people that have been helping to pay the bills around here get nothing in return except treated very poorly by the developer and the town. That leads me to ask the question What did they (council) get, aside from some donations to the mayors golf tournament. I think the time has come to make a few more changes in this town. Hopefully they all get whats coming to them in October, but I doubt that they will. The good people of Beeton and New Tecumseth probably don’t see things the way I do. That is too bad for the minority of us that are fed up with the town and its over paid directors and council. We will just have to wait till October and see I suppose. Watch out Maple Ave they are coming for you next. The developer on Dayfoot to his credit seems to be going about his business in a reasonable fashion from what I seen so far. It’s too bad he can’t teach the developer off Daniele Ave how to interact with the surrounding community. **Update: On a positive crown PAVING LTD.

This service was done to street last Friday and again on Monday evening. Hopefully this effort by the developer is kept up for the duration of the project until pavement is installed on the only road leading into this development. This action is a start in appeasing the grief that has been forced upon the residents of Daniele Ave North by the planning and engineering departments of The Town of New Tecumseth. I am also hoping that actions such as simple clean- ing and choice of routes to other sites in the village which are soon to begin, will be thought out this time instead of forcing a situation upon ratepayers which was unacceptable and still is in my opinion. Steve Olsen, Beeton tage.” The cuts to refugee health care have always been morally wrong and fiscally shortsighted. The Conservatives must drop their appeal to the Federal Court ruling and reverse the cuts.

There were many entries and the person who came closest to the amount of coins would win a $50 gift card for use at a local business in Tottenham. The amount of coins in the jar was 524 and there were 4 people who guessed the closest, so a second draw was done and the winner was a lucky person from Toronto who was happy to win and to visit our town again. Brenda Horan of Horan & Associates would like to thank everyone who participated in the draw, “It was a fun day and a pleasure to speak to everyone who stopped by to chat!” she said.

Lori Archibald, Senior Buyer, Town of New Tecumseth 10 Wellington Street East, Alliston, Ontario L9R 1A1 705-435-3900 -Ext. 1240, [email protected] BY WENDY GABREK Deputy Mayor Rick Milne asked council what they were going to do assist area farmers with left over debris from the July 24th tornado at council Monday night. Milne told councillors and staff that he had visited affected farmers along the tornado’s path (4th Line) and they still had “quite a bit of waste materials” yet to be collected. Milne said that he had been in touch with County of Simcoe Waste Collection Services and he was told collection would not happen “at no cost” to the farmers (unlike the free waste collection that was extended to residents of Angus after the July 17th tornado there). Milne said the county had told him that farmers should transport their waste to either the Bradford or Tosorontio Transfer Stations and then charge their tippage fees back to their insurance companies. However, in speaking to the farmers directly, Milne learned that the fees for waste removal would not be covered. “The County helped Angus residents, we should be treated the same,” Milne said. Milne then requested that the Town of New Tecumseth, on letterhead from the mayor’s office, send an official request to the county to have another look at the issue. Director of Public Works Chad Horan noted that there were 102 family homes destroyed by the tornado that touched down in Angus on July 17th and only one house in New Tecumseth affected by the June 24th tornado –thus, unlike in Angus, no State of Emergency had been declared. He also said that there was only about three tandem loads of visible waste left behind in New Tecumseth. “If we put it out to the community that the County is collecting waste for free, who knows what else may appear on our road sides for collection,” Horan added. Horan pointed out that “up until today” (Monday) fire service personnel were still working with residents and the town had received no complaints about insurance problems. Mayor Mike MacEachern said that a coordinated response between the county and town would be the best next move and agreed to send a letter to the County to find out exactly what their stand point was. In the meantime, no bylaw charges will be laid to tornado affected residents with debris left in front of their property.

NOTICE OF SANITARY MAIN FLUSHING NORTH ALLISTON Residential / Industrial / Commercial Users Please be advised that the Town of New Tecumseth Public Works Department will be conducting routine maintenance/flushing of the sanitary sewer mainlines daily between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. north of Victoria Street between King Street and Sir Frederick Banting Road. The work will commence the week of July 21, 2014 and will take approximately six (6) weeks to complete with an anticipated completion date of August 29, 2014.

By ANN-BERNICE THOMAS Religion: A Question of Faith We, the 80’s and 90’s kids, we are the bridge between their differences and are the upcoming caretakers of this earth. Already we have fought and will continue to fight for societal change and equality for all people. We are loud, we are proud, and we will never back down until we achieve an equitable world. Even so, amongst our loud clamour, there is a silent battle raging in the midst of our hearts. It is one we are taught not to talk about. “Do we believe in religion?” “Books have influenced my thoughts on religion the most,” says seventeen year old Sam Cunningham. “Their concepts and opinions, like in Life of Pi for example, were pretty interesting. They made me realize that no one truly knows what is out there, and no one can fully understand, so they helped me remain neutral.” Meesha Khan on the other hand, also seventeen, was very firm “I don’t see the purpose to it. I don’t like the concept of religion because I grew up in it and can’t stand it, it’s hypocritical.” “Religion brings peace and community,” says Cunningham. “When it’s not being abused.” With this vast array of opinions, the only question remaining seems to be, is there a place for religion in our future? by Wendy Gabrek At Monday night’s council meeting, Mary Haire, wife of Ward 7 Councillor Bruce Haire made a deputation before council on the state of the roads in the rural area surrounding New Tecumseth. Mrs. Haire complained about “how bumpy” the 15th Sideroad is north of the 4th Line, and also mentioned the state of the roads on the 3rd Line, from the 15th Sideroad to Tottenham Road. Mrs. Haire asked council to look for cheaper and more creative ways to improve road conditions in fiscal 2014. “Our roads are an asset and an investment,” Haire said, adding that there should be a contingency to the budget to allow for road repairs that were unexpected after the long winter, which produced asphalt busting frost. Mayor Mike MacEachern said the Town of New Te- / / ZONE / TEEN cumseth has been setting aside money for repairs and has increased its roads budget over time. He also said that the town had recently purchased new equipment to perform “more innovative repairs”. Director of Public Works Chad Horan commented on the state of the 3rd Line, saying that because it is a surface treated road, the materials used in the towns preventative methods wouldn’t adhere to the road surface, however, the $23,000 required to repair the 3rd Line properly could be available if other road works came in under budget. Council voted to accept Mrs. Haire’s deputation and said they could make a note for the future council (who will be sworn in, in December, 2014) to increase the budget based on the next roads needs study and comments from residents. www.focuscdc.on.ca ARE YOU 15-29 YEARS OLD?

She has competed in the Kids of Steel Triathlon race in Barrie where she had to swim 300 meters, bike 10 kilometres and run 3 kilometres, quite an effort for a young girl indeed.

She has a plan to run further, “I started out running 5 kilometre runs and moved into 10 kilometre runs. This year I want to do more 10 kilometre runs. “ She goes once a week to train at a local YMCA with a group of students just like her who are driven to run and push the envelope, reach for a better result and not stop until they achieve it.

This year, 14 raised beds were raised for residents to enjoy gardening and to harvest their own vegetables at the end of the season. For the past six years, the W.I. has been working with the Town of New Tecumseth to create this space – especially for those who can’t have a garden at their home, and also to create a place to enjoy the outdoors and some gardening. “The hope is that people will gather, socialize and share their techniques and produce,” says organizer Donna Jebb. Along with the gardens the W.I. also provides canning demonstrations for residents to learn proper canning techniques and preserving with Emerie Brine of Bernardin Jars. Pictured: Tec We Gwill Women’s Institute president, Sylvia Plant with mayor Mike MacEachern at the community garden in Alliston. by riChard blanChard Essa council has created an independent committee to look after the distribution of funds from the Angus tornado relief fund. Council formally created the committee at last week’s council meeting. Prospective candidates from the community were suggested at a special council meeting held on July 2 and were asked if they wanted to serve on the committee. The committee includes Scott Mullen, Heather Malnick, Chris Atkinson, Gordon Mackenzie and Christine Barber. No members of council were appointed to the committee. The appointment of the committee came on the same day that the Insurance Bureau of Canada announced that the estimated insured cost of the June 17 tornado to Angus and area was at least $30,000,000. The township has made an initial application for funding to the province for uninsured costs but the amount which will be available to the township is not clear. It will depend on the amount of uninsured losses which are eligible under the program and the amount of funds received by the disaster relief fund. Over $100,000 has been raised by the fund already. Mayor Terry Dowdall said that in discussions with other municipalities that have suffered similar events that the province can take upwards of a year to give funding. Dowdall hoped for a quick response from the province. “There’s people that need money right now and I don’t want them to wait around too long,” he said. Page 10 – July 17, 2014 – The TIMES Town now in the concession stand business By Wendy GaBrek Want a coffee while you’re watching the game at a town owned facility? Well you’re in luck, because New Tecumseth is now in the concession stand business. Monday, Town of New Tecumseth council members approved a recommendation from staff to proceed with the direct operation of concession and food services in the Beeton Memorial Arena and Tottenham Community and Fitness Centre. After Marco Concessions was released from its contract with the Town to provide concession services at these two facilities (on April 2, 2014, two years early) snacks and beverages have been made available at the Guest Services kiosk at the Tottenham Community and Fitness Centre utilizing existing staff. On June 21 and 22, hospitality staff were also deployed to the Beeton Memorial Arena following a request of the organizer of a ball hockey tournament to service players and patrons in lieu of a concession operator onsite. Staff have also initiated both vending and concession services at Alliston Rotary Pool utilizing the existing staff compliment for the summer of 2014. “Based on recent challenges relating to the performance, consistency and reliability of the previous concession operator, staff respectfully recommend that the Town proceed with the direct operation of the snack bar and vending services located at the Bee- ton Memorial Arena and Tottenham Community and Fitness Centre...” reads a report to council from staff. “A Town operated concession and vending service will enable staff to ensure that concession services are available consistently and at the request of user groups and patrons. As the Town expands vending initiatives and further utilizes the hospitality division, resulting revenue generated will support the department’s commitment to achieve sustainable programs, facilities and services.” The target launch date would be determined by lead time required to recruit, hire and train staff in addition to space rehabilitation and preparation. “As concession, vending and hospitality services expand, cost savings resulting from increased volume and efficiency of multi-tasking staff will further enhance the department’s ability to increase the revenue to expenditure ratio,” reads the report. “Utilizing existing staff onsite will allow the department to broaden services such as coffee service to meetings, special event catering and seasonal operations including satellite concession services at the Alliston Rotary Pool. “The introduction of a junior hockey team in Tottenham will offer an additional opportunity to the operation of the concession and hos- pitality services. This could include a licensed booster club area and food seat service in the stadium. This multi-market efficiency will strengthen the Towns ability to generate revenue.” Staff also promoted the idea by explaining the benefit of additional local employment opportunities and leadership roles for local youth by operating more town-owned resources directly. Staff estimate that the cost to run these concessions, an estimates $26,500 in Tottenham ($9,500 in wages, $15,000 in purchase, $5,000 for miscellaneous expenses) and $17,000 in Beeton ($6,000 in wages, $9,000 in concession costs, $2,000 for miscellaneous expenses) could be recovered by the revenue generated by the concessions directly – an estimated $35,000 and $28,000 respectively. And could also generate a total net profit of $19,500 annually. Neighbouring municipalities, including Orangeville, Caledon, Midland and Orillia are already running their own concession stands at recreational facilities. The model of expense and revenue was based on an estimated 36 hour weekly operation period in Tottenham and 22 hour weekly operation period in Beeton. By Wendy GaBrek Council has approved the renewal of a Joint Compliance Audit Committee with five neighbouring South Simcoe municipalities (Adjala–Tosorontio, Bradford– West Gwillimbury, Essa and Innisfil). The Audit Committee, comprised of voting members of the public (currently Heather McDonald, Lynn Worthington, Patricia Middlebrook, Jerry Switzer and Doug Downey) each representing one of the member municipalities. The Committee’s responsibility is to examine the spending habits of municipal election candidates. If a member of the committee believes that a candidate has not followed the rules, he or she may apply for a Compliance Audit of the Candidate’s election campaign finances. The Audit Committee as a whole would then decide whether the application should be granted or rejected. If the Audit Committee decides to grant the application, the Committee would then appoint an auditor to search the candidates books. After an investigation, the auditor would then report back to the Committee, the candidate, council, and the clerk of the municipality in which the candidate was nominated. That municipality would also be responsible for paying the auditor. “If upon review of the report the Committee concludes that the candidate appears to have contravened the Act relating to election campaign finances, the Committee may commence a legal proceeding against the candidate for the appar- ent contravention. If the report concludes that the candidate did not appear to have contravened a provision of the Act, the Committee may make a finding as to whether or not there were reasonable grounds for the Application. If the report indicates that there was no apparent contravention and the Committee finds that there were no reasonable grounds for the Application, council is entitled to recover the auditor’s costs from the applicant,” reads a report from council. In New Tecumseth, Jerry Switzer has agreed to sit on the Audit Committee for another four year term (2014– 2018, the same as council). All of the other members of the current Committee have also been contacted and have greed to enter another term. The Committee was originally struck in 2010.

BY MARK PAVILONS The area’s largest outdoor car show and star-studded event is coming to King Township July 20. The 4th annual Cruise for the Cure car show and family festival raises money and awareness for Prostate Cancer Canada and the Alzheimer Society of Ontario. It’s likely one of the best shows in the country and if you visit only one car show this summer, make it this one. Organizer Tim Schmidt said he expects upwards of 2,000 vehicles of all shapes and sizes – North American and imports. Some guests come from Quebec and even south of the border. Schmidt said a few of the collectors pick this as their one and only show, so visitors are in for a treat with many one-ofa-kind vehicles. Visitors will also get the chance to stroll through Tim’s workshop, home to his collection of automo- biles, motorcycles, automotive collectibles and literally thousands of toy cars. It’s the ultimate man cave. Tim and Brenda Schmidt, in affiliation with ABC Group, one of the leading automotive systems and components manufacturers in the world, will be hosting their 4th annual car show to raise money and awareness. Tim, Brenda and Tim’s mother Helga have hosted Tim and Brenda’s Cruise for the Cure for the past three years. In 2011 at their first event, they raised $50,000 for Prostate Cancer Canada; in 2012 at the 2nd annual Cruise they raised $70,000 for Prostate Cancer Canada and in 2013, they added a second charity, Shriner’s Hospitals for Children-Canada and raised $112,000 for these charities. This year’s show is expected to attract more than 10,000 visitors! Schmidt said he chose Alzheimer’s this year because many of his “car buddies” are in the affected age group of men. Unfortunately, men can be stubborn when it comes to regular physical checkups. His late father also suffered from Alzheimer’s. “Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia. One in four people knows someone with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, and will be aware of the devastating impact it has on their lives, as it had on mine when my husband developed the disease. Our sponsorship will help in the research into the causes, cures and care for this condition and hopefully also towards helping the many people who look after these patients,” said Helga Schmidt, president and CEO of ABC Group of Companies. “It’s very important that people with Alzheimer’s are treated with respect and to remember that, despite their illness, a person with dementia is still a unique and valuable human being. “When a person finds that their mental abilities are declining, they often feel vulnerable and in need of reassurance and support. The people closest to them – their caregivers, health and social care professionals, friends and family – need to do everything they can to help the person to retain their sense of identity and feelings of self-worth.” More than just your typical car show, Tim & Brenda’s Cruise for the Cure is an event featuring live music, a children’s carnival, raffles, food vendors, merchandise vendors, door prizes, awards, trophies, a guitar auction, special guests and more! Nick Sinopoli of the Carpet Frogs and long-time friend of Tim’s has collected signatures from legendary rock musicians. Alice Cooper, Steve Cropper, Burton Cummings, Richie Sambora, Danny “The Count” Koker, Stoney Curtis, John Zito, Paul Disbibio, Barry Barnes, The Trews Orianthi Panagaris, Neil Chapman, are just some of the over 30 names on a rare 1994 Gibson J-55 up for grabs. It is #18 of only 100 made. This magnificent guitar with the priceless signatures will be auctioned for charity. For more information or to bid on this piece of rock history, go to www.timandbrendasplace.com. Tim hopes this will attract a decent bid. It’s really a priceless collector’s piece. The fundraiser takes place on Tim and Brenda’s 200acre estate showcasing some of Tim’s private collection of automobiles. Raising prostate cancer awareness among men was one of the Schmidt family’s goals and what better form to do that in but with a car show showcasing southern Ontario’s best custom and performance cars and bikes with awards for grand champion, people’s choice and 50 runners up. The all-day event will also have live entertainment, by Rik Emmett formally of Triumph; The Carpet Frogs; Pop Cherry; a children’s mini carnival including a giant Ferris wheel, food and beverages. Joining Tim and Brenda will be famed members of the hit television show Counting Cars – Danny Koker and Kevin Mack. There will be raffles and 50/50 draws to help raise money for these wonderful charities. It’s fun for the whole family. Tim & Brenda’s Cruise for the Cure takes place Sunday, July 20 at 13200 Weston Road. Doors open at 9 a.m. for patrons, with a $20 donation per car load for parking. For those competing in the car show a registration donation of $30 is asked and registration is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, http://www.timandbrendasplace.com.d from their travel destinations.

The Peewees had a tough year failing to win a game in the seven game schedule. They put up a good fight in the final outing but couldn’t break through a strong Dolphins defence and were shut-out in when the clock counted down the final minute of the fourth quarter. The Express had solid effort, led on defence with good stops by Daniel Sheridan, Brayden Hiltz, and Dylan Mosquera. Going into the second half, the Express gained some ground with solid ball carries by Sheridan, and Oliver Rapin, and big gain by Gabe Neil who crashed through the Dolphins line to bring the Express to within inches of a first down. Late in the game, Trisden McKinnon, pounced on a Dolphins fumble to give TNT possession late in the game, but they couldn’t break through the Ajax Pickering line and the game ended with TNT taking a shut-out and ending the season as they won’t be eligible for a spot in the playoffs.

Express Bantams win final regular season game PHOTO BY BRIAN LOCKHART TNT Express tail back Mitchell Giglio sprints down the side during Sunday’s OMFL game against the Niagara Generals at Mel Mitchell field in Beeton. The Bantams are 6–2 for the season and have a good shot of advancing to the division final. BY BRIAN LOCKHART The TNT Express Bantam team ended the regular season schedule with a 46-19 win over the Niagara Generals at Mel Mitchell field in Beeton on Sunday, July 13. After eight games, the Express team has a 6–2 record. Their only losses were to the Orangeville Outlaws for the two games those teams played this season. It didn’t take long for the Express to set the tone of Sunday’s game. At the end of the first quarter they were leading 12–0 on TDs from Mitchell Giglio and Lino Devita. Giglio got his second of the game in the second quarter when the Express ran back a punt to start on the Niagara 32 yard line. Giglio broke through and ran to the left to score on the next play. The Generals got on the scoreboard after a breakthrough run that dropped them on the eight yard line. A drive through the middle and across the goal line gave the Generals their first TD of the game. The Express were playing a solid defensive game for the entire half with good stops by Braham Bischof, Josh Nicholls, and Seth Hall on the front line. James Baskett, Bradley Knott, and Benjamin Posedi, teamed up to bring down Niagara ball carriers Giglio did it again with a TD with less than three minutes left in the half. Seth Hall ran in for the two point convert to make it 26–7 at the half. The Bantam team is the best hope this season for an OMFL championship run. The squad has scored 274 points for the season while allowing 259 against. In terms of numbers, the Bantams have little trouble scoring but they will have to work on their defence to keep those numbers down going into the playoffs. The first place Orangeville Outlaws, who are undefeated for the season, have only allowed 95 points to be scored against them after seven games and are the likely contenders if the Express can manage a win the playoff round. The final Bantam division regular season games are scheduled for this coming weekend with the playoff schedule to be released after the completion of those games. Express Junior Varsity shut out in O–ville PHOTO BY BRIAN LOCKHART TNT Express Junior Varsity quarterback Will Wright looks for a receiver while an Orangeville Outlaws player closes in during Sunday’s OMFL game in Orangeville. The Express were shut out of the scoring and will go into the playoffs with a 4–4 regular season record. BY BRIAN LOCKHART The TNT Express Junior Varsity squad couldn’t penetrate the Orangeville Outlaws defence during Sunday’s (July 13) OMFL game in Orangeville, and were shut-out of the scoring when the clock ran out with a final 46–0 score. It was the fourth loss for the Express this season giving them a 4–4 record to end the regular season schedule. Both teams only gained ground on the running plays this time out with neither team being able to do much with the throwing game. There was five pass interceptions in the game when they tried to get the ball in the air including a final play that resulted in an O-ville running back for the game’s final touchdown. The weekend marked the last day of Junior Varsity regular season play. After the weekend, the Express are tied for fourth place with the Steel City Steelers and the London Mustangs. Orangeville is leading the division with an undefeated record after eight games. They are followed by the Cambridge Lions who have a single loss, and the Twin Cities Predators who have a 4–3 record. The Junior Varsity division of the OMFL has now completed the regular season scheduled and will move into the playoffs. ‘Weird Animals’ VBS St. Andrew Anglican Church in Alliston is offering a ‘Weird Animals’ vacation bible school from Monday, July 21st to Saturday, July 26th.

Page 14 – July 17, 2014 – The TIMES town approves purchase of deck flooring for arenas by WenDy Gabrek Town of New Tecumseth council approved the purchase of deck flooring and a trailer to house it at Monday nights council meeting. The flooring system, known as an ‘Event Deck’, will be used to protect floors and cover ice surfaces at town owned recreation facilities to “provide an expansion of services for the community”. The net cost of the flooring and trailer to house it is $44,523. Funds set aside to ment from food and beverage spills. The flooring, a purchase council had previously turned down (when it was presented at a cost of almost $200,000 by former Parks, Recreation & Culture Director Ray Osmond), will also be used for the annual Home Show, which takes place at the NTRC every April. Council is hopeful it will also attract new events to town owned facilities, including concerts and other gala events. improve the roof at the Joint Operations Centre (JOC) in Beeton will be used to pay for the flooring system, and roofing costs will roll over for approval in the 2015 budget. The issue of purchasing the deck flooring was raised when Matthews House Hospice approached the town, asking to host their annual Gala event at the New Tecumseth Recreation Centre (NTRC) in September.

Mr. Drury proposed that the Park would be ideally located at the Banting Homestead, because it was town owed land and open to the public. “Our first year of business surpassed our expectations and we now want to give back,” Drury said to council. “Because I reside and operate my business in Alliston, I would like the Memorial Park to be located in Alliston.” Mr. Drury agreed to pay for all of the costs associated with establishing the Memorial Park, asking only for a plaque of recognition at the entrance and the right to host an annual Memorial Service on the property. The Memorial Park would give residents a place to reflect and remember their loved ones who have passed on. The Town of Orangeville has already established a similar garden. Council recommended that Mr. Drury work with town staff and members of the Banting Heritage Park Committee to draft plans for approval at a later date.

McCague: “On behalf of the Ontario PC Caucus, I want to extend my sincere condolences to Briggitte McCague and the McCague family on the passing of one of Ontario’s greatest public servants.” “George McCague was elected to the Ontario Legislature in 1975 and went on to serve as the chair of cabinet and the Chair of the Management Board of Cabinet concurrently for almost a decade. He also served as Minister of Transportation and Communications, Minister of the Environment and Minister of Government Services before retiring from this Legislature in 1990.” “Prior to his election to the Legislature, George served as town councillor, deputy reeve, reeve and mayor of the town of Alliston between 1960 and 1973. He served as warden of the County of Simcoe in 1966 and served again as mayor of the newly amalgamated town of New Tecumseth from 1992 to 1994.” “He was the first chairman of the Niagara Escarpment Commission and a founding member and the first chair of the board of governors of Georgian College.” “In retirement, George remained an active member of his community, coordinating the driver program for the Canadian Cancer Society of Simcoe County. He was also very active with St. John’s United Church, the New Tecumseh Improvement Society, the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation and the Nottawasaga Foundation.” “George McCague was my mentor. Like family, he took me under his wing at a very young age and taught me the value of public service. I consider myself fortunate to have been counted among his many friends and share in the sadness of this magnificent loss,” said Wilson.
