Adjala-Tosorontio’s council for the next four years, 2014 to 2018, gathered after their inauguration Tuesday morning. Left to right: Ward 4 councillor Dave Rose, Ward 5 councillor Scott
Anderson, Ward 3 councillor Bob Meadowas, Mayor Mary Small Brett, Deputy Mayor Doug
Little, Ward 1 councillor Floyd Pinto and Ward 2 councillor Ambrose (Sam) Keenan.
With the township council
chambers packed to overflowing,
Adjala-Tosorontio’s first female mayor was
sworn into office Tuesday
morning.
Describing her inaugural
address as her, “Obama moment”, Mary Small Brett
thanked family and township residents for their support during the recent election.
“But a big thank you to all
those who came out to vote
for the candidates of their
choice,” she told the audience of over 100 people.
“We have a great newly
elected council and with responsible team work, we can
work together.”
The next four years, Small
Brett said would be an “exciting time.
And we are getting down
to business with work beginning on our 2015 budget tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.”
The new mayor that she
wanted to see council to
continue to work with neighbouring municipalities.
“I think that they are crucial to bringing in programs
at the lowest cost.
Small Brett said that she
would continue to engage
the public in township council’s decisions as she promised during the last campaign.
Retiring
mayor Tom
Walsh told the audience that
he was pleased that he had
“in leaving the township in
good financial shape. I have
greatest of faith in the new
mayor and council and it is
significant that we have first
elected female mayor.,” he
said.
The mayors of New Tecumseth, Essa, Mono and
Bradford-West Gwillimbury
were on hand to bring their
best wishes to the new council as was Shauneen McKay
representing Simcoe-Grey
MP Kellie Leitch, Simcoe
county CAO Mark Aitken,
Nottawasaga OPP Inspector Dirk Cockburn and Base
Borden Commander Col.
Carl Donyon.

By Wendy GaBrek
The Inaugural Meeting of
the new council was held
Monday, December 1st in
Council Chambers.
The event was well attended, with standing room only,
and the first opportunity for
the 10-member council, who
will serve from 2014–2018,
to be together in the same
room, at the same time.
The event started with the
piping-in of the Mayor and
Members of Council by piper Rory McKinnon.
The meeting was then
called to order by the Town
Crier, Ralph Wilding.
O Canada was then sung
by four youngsters, Jayden
Giles, MacKenzie Arromba,
Sierra Deguire and Victor
Arromba.
Pastor Wayne Lucas then
offered a prayer for the new
council, wishing for them
help from above in their
quest over the next four
years.
Brendan Holly, Chief Administration Officer for the
Town of New Tecumseth
welcomed the new councillors and introduced Justice
Jon–Jo A. Douglas, who
would then perform the Declaration of Office, one member of council at a time.
After the new councillors
had been sworn-in, Mayor
Rick Milne gave his inaugural address, thanking his
family and supporters for
their help with his campaign.
Mayor Milne then introduced each member of council, from Ward 1 to 8 (but not
in that order) and allowed
them the opportunity to read
a prepared speech, or simply
speak from their heart.
Simcoe–Grey MPP Jim
Wilson was in attendance
and wished the new council well. Having grown up
in Alliston, Wilson said that
he wouldn’t have missed the
event – even though Queen’s
Park was in session.
Representatives
from
neighbouring municipalities
(Adjala–Tosorontio Mayor
Mary Small Brett, Essa
Mayor Terry Dowdall, Innisfil Deputy Mayor Lynn
Dollin and Essa Deputy
Mayor Sandie Macdonald)
also spoke before the new
council, offering their congratulations.
Nottawasaga OPP Inspector Dirk Cockburn, the former Reeve of Tottenham
Joan Sutherland, and immediate past Mayor of New Tecumseth Mike MacEachern
also addressed council.
A catered reception with
music performed by Brendan Maloney followed the
ceremony.
The first regular meeting
of council (Committee of the
Whole) will take place on
Monday, December 8th at 7
p.m. in Council Chambers.

The Pan–Am Games are coming, is TNT ready?
Dear editor:
The Pan-Am Games are
only eight months away, so
what’s this got to do with
New Tecumseth you may
ask, well the answer is plenty!
The Pan-Am Games will
afford New Tecumseth a
great opportunity to promote
our Town and our business’s
to take advantage of the
expected increases in revenue’s the games will bring.
To give you an idea of how
much money is being invested in these games the security bill alone is estimated to
be more than a quarter of a
billion dollars, The costs to
hold the games are estimated
at more than $2.5 billion!
The Province along with the
City of Toronto is already
poring money into advertising the games both here and
abroad. We should capitalize
on these promo initiatives by
utilizing cost effective ways
to promote New Tecumseth to the expected 250,000
travelers to the games. Many
of these travelers will be first
time visitors to Canada and
Toronto and will come with
their families. These visitors will be vacationing at
the same time and will be
looking for places to visit
and see. This is where strategically placed advertising showcasing TNT will
be advantageous. This target advertising should also
give TNT businesses an opportunity to promote their
business by participate on a
co-operative basis to share
costs. I know that organizers of the various Pan Am
events are already looking
outside of the GTA for various venues to support their
athletes with some venues
I believe expected to take
place right here in TNT! As
we speak, most down town
hotels are already selling out
over this period! It wouldn’t
surprise me to learn that
hotels in TNT and our surrounding area are already
feeling the pressure. The
time is now to get organized
through our BIA’s and associations to start promoting
our Town, who will take up
the challenge??
Dear editor:
In the past decade, Canada has lost more men and
women in uniform to suicide
than we did in Afghanistan.
14% of those who served
there have been clinically
diagnosed with a mental disorder linked to the mission.
Those somber statistics are
a reminder of why it is so
critical to provide those who
serve and those who have
served the care and support
they need.
Yet a recent Auditor General’s report is only the latest
evidence that this Conservative government has failed
to uphold our country’s sacred obligation to those who
put their lives at risk to serve
our country.
It confirmed that our veterans cannot get timely access
to the mental health services.
One in five had to wait up
to eight months for help. 128
had to wait three to seven
years to find out if they even
qualified for mental health
benefits. Veterans had to
deal with these inexcusable
delays on top of the stigma
of mental illness that makes
it so difficult to come forward and ask for help.
Furthermore, the Veterans Affairs department was
found to be largely unconcerned with how well veterans were being served.
The system is still too
“complex and time-consuming,” according to the Audi-
tor General.
The Canadian Armed
Forces have similar challenges.
Years of austerity and
mismanagement meant the
Department only recently
started hiring up to 54 psychiatrists and other mental
health professionals needed
to help with the scars of
the Afghanistan mission—a
need first identified a decade
ago.
At the eleventh hour before the release of Auditor
General report, the Conservatives made an announcement to head off this scathing criticism.
Later it was revealed that
these funds would be spread
out over 50 years, further
reinforcing the lack of credibility of Veterans Minister
Julian Fantino, who once
suggested that some veterans were “dupes”.
Mr. Fantino oversaw the
doubling of the health insurance premiums that veterans
on fixed incomes pay; he
closed nine department offices across the country, forcing some veterans to drive
for hours to receive service.
And he could not justify
why these services were cut
when his department has left
over $1 billion unspent since
2006. The hapless Mr. Fantino even suggested he still
had access to those funds,
which he doesn’t—as even
his own Parliamentary Secretary admitted.
Our troops and veterans
are genuine heroes.
They have stood ready
to give their all; when they
come home, their country
must stand ready for them.
We must uphold our social
covenant with those who
serve and their families, and
give them nothing less than
the best of care and support
from a grateful nation.
Alan Masters, Beeton
Conservatives continue to fail Canadian Veterans
Now you can stop the airport fill
Dear editor:
The federal government
has recognized that it has a
gap in federal oversight that
is allowing fill operators to
do business while pretending to expand aerodromes.
Bill C43.4.2 will give the
federal government new
powers to shut down these
operations.
The citizens of New Tecumseth look forward to
seeing our federal representative take action on our
behalf by asking the appro-
Wilson stands–up for the
Christmas tree industry
On Monday. Ontario PC Interim Leader Jim Wilson
called on Premier Wynne and the government to support
the Christmas Tree Day Act, 2014 – legislation recently
reintroduced by MPP Wilson. If passed, Wilson’s Bill
would designate the first Saturday in December of each
year as Christmas Tree Day in Ontario. Wilson highlighted
the environmental benefits of Christmas trees, noting that
“one acre of trees removes up to 13 tonnes of airborne pollutants-so we need to encourage this industry”. “The first
Saturday of December comes very soon,” Wilson noted.
“I hope government members are not Grinch’s, and will
support this very, very important industry today.”
Convicted without a trial
Dear editor:
Justin (Junior) Trudeau continues to suck up for votes.
For the same reason that Junior sucks up to Muslims (for
votes), Junior jumps on the anti-male bandwagon to gain
more votes from females. Junior figures that most males
are too stupid to vote against him. Anyway, Junior hastily
suspends Liberal MPs Massimo Pacetti and Scott Andrew
from the Liberal caucus based on complaints of “sexual
harassment” by two female NDP MPs. The problem is
that these women wanted to keep this complaint confidential and merely warn these guys to ceases and desist their
“harassment”. But Trudeau went overboard for political,
monkey-see, monkey-do Ghomeshi reasons. The two alleged perpetrators were charged and convicted without a
trial. Maybe Junior was getting his advice from the “Club
54 Flasher”.
And another thing: What exactly is sexual harassment?
Is it winking, whistling, smiling, laughing, body checking,
farting or disagreeing with femi-nazis? The poor buggers
died in two world wars for these first bags to dream up BS
regulations like so-called sexual harassment? I thought we
defeated these bastards in 1945!

annual Festive r.I.d.e. Program in full effect
By Wendy GaBrek
On Wednesday, November 26th, the Nottawasaga
OPP kicked-off its Festive
R.I.D.E (Reduce Impaired
Driving Everywhere) campaign.
Held in the parking lot of
the Alliston detachment, the
launch included a display
of artwork, with the theme,
“Think of Me” created by local Grade 5 students at a recent R.A.C.E Against Drugs
event; information from
M.A.D.D. Barrie Chapter;
and OPP Crime Prevention
information brochures. The
Alliston Community Policing Committee was also on
hand to launch its Annual
“Lick Impaired Driving”
campaign – which runs in
conjunction with Festive
R.I.D.E. each year. Started by Constable Melody
Tourigny five years ago,
Lick Impaired Driving is a
program where lollipops,
with messages attached, are
handed out to sober drivers
at R.I.D.E check points to
thank them for not drinking
and driving.
After the Festive R.I.D.E.
launch, Nottawasaga OPP
officers, including Inspector
Dirk Cockburn, conducted a
R.I.D.E stop in front of the
Red Pine Inn on Victoria
Street, Alliston.
The
Annual
Festive
R.I.D.E campaign runs
from November 24, 2014
until January 2, 2015. During this time, OPP officers
will increase the number of
R.I.D.E stops held in the region, but remind drivers that
R.I.D.E. stops are taking
place throughout the year.
“As of the 18th of November, there have been 42
fatalities related to impaired
driving on the roads in Ontario, compared to 72 by
the same time last year (the
number is decreased by 41.7
per cent). There are many
factors that drive these numbers from one year to the
next. However, we believe
the vast majority of drivers
do understand that driving
sober and drug-free is the
only way to end the numer-
ous impaired driving related
deaths that occur on Ontario
roads every year. It’s a relatively small number of drivers who still choose to get
an impaired driving charge
over the simpler and less
costly solution of not getting behind the wheel after
consuming alcohol and/or
drugs.
Unfortunately, the irresponsible behaviour of one
driver can negatively affect
the lives of many.
We have made significant
gains in reducing impaired
driving deaths on Ontario
roads, but now is not the
time to reduce our education
and focused enforcement in
this area.
The Nottawasaga OPP
goal is to have a holiday season without losing a single
life to a preventable cause
such as impaired driving.”

TPS hosts ‘Breakfast with Santa’
PhoToS By Wendy GaBrek
arT imiTaTinG life, imiTaTinG SanTa – Santa Claus gets a look at the competition during the ‘Breakfast with Santa’ event
at Tottenham Public School last weekend. Biagio, 9 months, came dressed as the ‘Man in Red’ and didn’t make a peep while
being held by his near 7–foot counterpart. Both ‘Santa’s’ had a fun time, eating pancakes and running around the Tottenham
Public School gymnasium. Although Biagio has a way to go still (and he’ll definitely need to grow out his beard a bit more),
Santa may have a stunt-double in the making for the year 2045.
By Wendy GaBrek
Tottenham Public School
hosted a ‘Breakfast with
Santa’ last Saturday, November 29th.
The event, sponsored by
Jennifer Gilbert Photography, Cedar Kitchen, E-Copy
n Print, Tottenham Dental,
the Tottenham Steam Hock-
ey Team and McCormack
Bourrie, was an opportunity
for TPS students and their
families – and the community – to enjoy pancakes
with Santa and spread some
Christmas cheer.
Held over two sittings,
the breakfast was very well
attended and inexpensive
(breakfast for 6 was only
$20!). After breakfast families were given an opportunity to browse craft tables,
take pictures with Santa and
buy goodies from the bake
sale.
A fabulous time was had
by all in the holiday spirit.

A little church, becomes a big icon and landmark
BY PATTI RODGERS
MINISTER,
TOTTENHAM RICH HILL
UNITED CHURCH
In 1988 Ethel Hitchman
had an idea. The leader of
Rich Hill United Church’s
Explorer group was looking
for a way for the young people of the church to celebrate
its 100th anniversary.
She decided that they
should enter a float in the
Schomberg Fair Parade. She
passed the idea by some of
the kids’ parents and with
some wood, some paint, and
a lot of talent, a replica of
Rich Hill Church, which has
stood on the corner of the
2nd Line and 10th Sideroad
since 1888, was created.
The “Little Church” took
centre stage on the float and
won first prize. It held that
place of honour for several
years, and was then retired
to sit in the Rich Hill Cemetery.
For years it sat as a reminder of the year-long anniversary celebrations on the
‘Blue Christmas’
St. Andrew Anglican Church, located at 125 Wellington
St. West in Alliston, will host a ‘Blue Christmas’, on Friday, December 5th starting at 7 p.m. This beautiful candlelit service will uplift your spirit and bring joy back into
the season. Sing Christmas songs and listen to the angelic
sounds of harpist Maria Jacobsson. For more info call 705
435-9711.
OGS meeting
Simcoe County Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society
meets at 2 p.m. Saturday December 6 at the LDS Church,
79 Ferris Lane, Barrie. Annual General Meeting and presentations from our members showing their family treasures and research successes. Refreshments will follow.
For information, www.simcoebogs.com
Bring a new toy to the parade!
Members of the Beeton Fire Fighters Association will be
collecting toys and non-perishable food items this weekend
at the BTBIA’s Santa Clau Parade along Main Street Beeton. All items collected will be donated to the Tottenham
and Beeton Christmas Baskets Program and the Our Town
Food Bank for distribution to families in need on December 21st.
Youth Video Dances are back!
The next Youth Video Dance will be held on Saturday,
December 6, at the Tottenham Community & Fitness Centre. These youth dances are open to everyone aged 7 to 14.
They are fully adult chaperoned, and feature age-appropriate videos and awesome music, as well as lots of fun contests and prizes. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. Tickets are $10
each, and are available at the door. If you want to request
a song, to find out about upcoming dances, or to download
dance pictures, kids and their parents are invited to visit
www.videodanceparty.ca, or to call 1-888-853-0053.
site of the original Rich Hill
Church that burned down in
the 1870s and was replaced
by the existing structure on
the adjacent corner.
Sadly, by the spring of
2014, the Little Church had
begun to deteriorate.
The steeple was askew and
the wood had begun to rot.
The congregation of Rich
Hill United Church assumed
that one day it would eventually be discarded. They
did not realize that it had become a landmark.
One day, a passer by
stopped at the church and
approached Minister Patti
Rodgers.
He explained that he drove
by the Little Church every
day and had become quite
attached to it. Could he help
in some way to restore the
Little Church to its former
glory? With his inspiration
and a donation toward the
cost, the folks who had first
built the Little Church took
up the challenge and began a
restoration project that lasted over the summer.
On November 16th, 2014,
just two weeks shy of its
126th birthday, Rich Hill
United Church dedicated the
new Little Church as a symbol of commitment and new
life in this changing community.
Pictures of the Little
Church were posted on Facebook and received many
comments from people who
were happy to see it back in
its place.
It’s a good thing to change
and grow, to let go of things
from the past that hold us
back, but it’s also good to
hold onto some things that
remind us of who we are and
where we came from. Our
Little Church is one of those
things.

URBAN CUISINE, RURAL
SETTING - THE WHISTLE
STOP HAS IT ALL
By Wendy Gabrek
The Whistle Stop Restaurant, owned and operated by Clara Viscardi and
Steven Lumley, offers fine dining in a casual atmosphere right here in Beeton.
Serving prime rib, seafood, specialty pastas, and a varied menu of culinary
delights, The Whistle Stop has something for everyone – from family gatherings, to girls nights out, to office holiday parties. The venue is also the perfect
location for your special events including weddings, birthdays or anniversary
parties.
The Whistle Stop also offers a plethora of unique dining experiences throughout the year – right here, in the heart of New Tecumseth. Specialty events
include: Wine Tastings, Wild Game Nights, Lobster–Fest (with live, Maritime
lobster flown in for the occasion) and more.
“We have a varied menu, cooked fresh to order,” said Viscardi, who knows
her customers prefer their food fresh. “At the moment, our prime rib, served
every weekend, is Canadian AA or better and is served from fresh – never frozen. On our Specials Board, which changes daily, you can find King Cole duck,
Ontario lamb shanks, seafood, and seasonal products on top of our regular
menu.”
Come for dinner – but stay for dessert. The Whistle Stop is famous for
its dessert board, featuring creative and comforting daily specials, baked in
house. (Must Try: Sticky Date Pudding Cake).
The Whistle Stop opened in July of 1994 and features steam train decor to
match its namesake, including a large, three-dimensional mural created by local artisan, Angelo Caruano. Previously the village drugstore, Viscardi named
the restaurant for its close proximity to the South Simcoe Railway, which runs
tourist excursions between Tottenham and Beeton from late spring through fall.
They are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays for dinner; Thursdays and Fridays for lunch and dinner; and Saturdays and Sundays for breakfast, lunch
and dinner.
This holiday season, The Whistle Stop will be open Christmas Eve, serving
a full turkey dinner with all the trimmings, as well as prime rib and other specialties in addition to the regular menu. The restaurant will also be open New
Year’s Eve for dinner, with a set menu. Reservations will be accepted from 4:30
p.m. onward.
The Whistle Stop is located at 7 Main Street West in Beeton.
For more information call them at 905 729-0399 or visit them online at

Coyotes host back–to–
back home games
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Alliston Coyotes had
a busy week hosting back
to back home games at the
New Tecumseth Recreation
Centre in Alliston.
On Thursday (Nov. 27)
the Coyotes were up against
the Toronto Blue Ice Jets.
After a first period that
saw the Toronto team score
six unanswered goals, the
game was pretty much over.
Another Ice Jets goal
early in the second period
made it a 7-0 game before
the Coyotes could respond.
Alliston’s
Viacheslav
Chegrintcev and Sergey
Kononov scored a single
each right in the middle of
the frame to light up the
scoreboard on the Coyotes
side, but that’s all the team
could do for the game.
Toronto notched two
more goals in the final 20
minutes to make it a 9–2
finish for the night.
The Coyotes returned
to home ice the following
day when the hosted an afternoon game against the
Bradford Bulls. This time,
the Coyotes got the jump
in the first period scoring
three unanswered goals to
lead going into the second
period.
Alliston goals came from
Andrej Jamnicky for two,
and Ivan Ganopolskyy.
Timotej Kocar scored at
the 2:59 mark in the second
period to give the Coyotes a
four goal lead.
Bradford got into the
game in the second period
with a pair, but again the
Coyotes widened the gap
on goals from Jamnicky –
his third of the game – and
Kocar, with his second of
the game.
The Bulls scored with
two markers in the third period and managed to close
the gap in the scoring but
the Coyotes managed to
hold on to the lead and left
the ice with a 6–5 win.
The win leaves the Coyotes in the number seven
spot in the South Division of the Greater Metro
League. The Coyotes will
return to home ice tonight
(Dec. 4) to host the Knights
of Meaford.
Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Hornets winning streak continues
PHOTOS BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Alliston Junior C Hornets host the Midland Flyers at the New Tecumseth Recreation Complex in Alliston on Friday, November 28. The Hornets won 6–2 to extend their winning streak to 12 games.
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Alliston Junior C Hornets won another one Friday
(Nov. 28) night when they
hosted the Midland Flyers at
the New Tecumseth Recreation Centre.
After playing to a 2–1
game at the end of the first
period with Hornets goals
from Mike Barosso and Nick
Arcan, the teams returned to
the ice but the Hornets found
themselves outplayed for
much of the second frame.
While the Hornets managed to score two more – one
from Barosso and a second
from Tanner Dockerty, the
Alliston squad seemed to be
on defence for most of the
period.
“I think every team in
the League is out to get us.
We were kind of on our
high horse and kind of let
up and they took it to us,”
said Hornets forward Mark
O’Donnell.
“Any team in this League
could beat us on any given
night and they were really
going for it. We pulled it
around in the third.”
The squad realized they
turned out a poor performance in the middle period
and regrouped when they
came back out for the final
20 minutes.
“We were talking about
going back and doing the
simple things,” O’Donnell
said. “We were trying to get
a little fancy – trying to skate
with the puck rather than
moving it. No one can skate
faster than the puck, so we
went back to the basics and
came out harder in the third.
One we started getting a little more momentum and we
stayed out of the penalty box
- it’s anyone’s game. You’ve
got to play it right until the
end.”
The Hornets shut down
the Midland defence in the
third and Nic Archibald got
the go-ahead goal to give Alliston a three goal lead with
ten minutes left on the clock.
The Flyers pulled their
goalie with just under two
minutes remaining but that
strategy was cut short when
O’Donnell got a hold of the
puck and took an easy shot
for the final goal with :35
seconds left in the game.
After 22 games, the Hornets are riding on a 19–3 re-
cord including one overtime
loss - good for 39 points.
The Stayner Siskins have
now moved into second
place, knocking out the
Penetang Kings who have
gone into a mid season
slump and dropped down to
third place in the standings.
The Huntsville Otters
are in fourth place with 24
points, followed by the Fergus Devils and the Caledon
Golden Hawks – both with
22 points.
The Hornets will be in
Schomberg tonight (Thur.
Dec. 4th).
They return to home ice
the following night, Friday,
December 5th, to host the
Schomberg Cougars.
The puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
track your snow plow
With the winter season
upon us, you can Track Your
Snowplow and know if the
streets you need to travel
have been plowed or sanded
before you even leave the
house.
The Town of New Tecumseth has invested in
technology that sees the operating plows automatically
reporting back so that resi-
dents can have access to upto-date information – at any
time of day (24/7) – view
where and when plowing or
sanding is taking place simply by clicking on the Track
Your Snowplow link on the
front page of the Town website www.newtecumseth.ca
When snowplows are active, the map shows their
location.
The previous eight hours
of plowing and spreading
material show as a green
trail on the map. Users can
also select a specific time
frame or specific address to
view plowing activity.
This service is part of the
AVL/GPS Fleet Management System project imple-
mented in 2012 to monitor
winter maintenance equipment for snow/ice removal
and road maintenance operations.

Cyclist wins gold, 2 silvers and a bronze
Charlotte Creswicke, 15,
of Tottenham, recently returned from Burnaby BC
where she competed in her
first National level track cycling competition. Burnaby
Veldrome hosted approximately 80 athletes at the
2014 Canadian Junior &
U17 Track Championships.
Charlotte and her teammates cycled to win gold in
the Team Pursuit and silver
in the Team Sprint. Charlotte
also won silver in the Sprint
and bronze in the Individual
Time Trial. The Nationals
were originally planned for
Milton, ON but delays in the
construction of the new velo-
drome there resulted in a last
minute change to Burnaby.
Charlotte began cycling
when she was 8 and spent
many hours at Albion Hills
mountain biking. She later
took up road racing and this
year she represented Team
Ontario in Le Tour de la
Relève Internationale de Rimouski winning a gold medal in the U17 Criterium race
and was the Ontario Youth
Series Champion in her age
category.
In September she set her
sights on making Team Ontario for the track Nationals
event. “Track bikes have no
brakes and only one gear so
you have to be aware of everything and everyone. Track
racing uses all your senses,”
said Charlotte, “and it’s like
riding a roller coaster. “
Charlotte trains at the Forest City Velodrome in London Ontario, but also spends
time at Strive Fitness in Tottenham with personal trainer
Mary Cubello. “My parents
spend countless hours taking
us back and forth and without the support of family
and friends, coaches Chantal
Thompson and Rob Good,
teammates and team sponsors I would not have been
as successful as I was,” said
Charlotte.

announces new branch manager
town warns of misleading information by salespeople
The Town of New Tecumseth would like to advise residents of misleading claims
from individuals offering to
install water filters in their
homes and/or suggesting
that they are conducting water main testing on behalf of
the Town.
brinG non-Perishable food items to the beeton Parade – Representatives from the ‘Justin Alexander Keogh’ or JAK Fund took part in the BTBIA’s Santa
Claus Parade in Tottenham last Saturday. Pushing wheelbarrows along main street, non-perishable food items and
cash donations were collected for local food banks. A total
of 204 lbs of food and $67 was collected. The week before,
the organization collected 94 lbs of food and $4 during the
Alliston Night Lit Parade. So come on Beeton, you can do
better than that! The JAK Fund was established with the
aim of carrying out Justin Alexander Keogh’s wish to counsel local youth and to help them make forward strides in
their lives. Unfortunately, Justin’s life ended tragically on
January 13th, 2013 in an automobile accident. The goal
of the JAK Fund is to promote youth in transition through
support in the form of food, clothing and shelter, and to assist youth in crisis through liaising with local applicable services. If you would like to contact them, e-mail jakfund94@
gmail.com or visit www.jakfund.blogspot.ca. Remember to
bring food to the BTBIA’s Santa Claus Parade in Beeton
this Saturday, December 6th, starting at 3 p.m.
Complaints from local
residents have been received
regarding people going door
to door suggesting affiliation
with the Town and using aggressive tactics. The Town
has no affiliation with such
individuals or companies.
Any municipal staff member
visiting your house will have
appropriate
identification
and residents are advised to
request such identification.
Some points to remember
should someone approach
you at your home trying to
sell or install something:
• Do not invite the
person(s) inside • Do not
sign any documents under
pressure • If you are not
interested in what is being
offered or if they use aggressive tactics, ask them to
leave your property, if you
are suspicious, immediately
report the incident to police.

hugging lover of the environment , a wife, mother, sister, grandmother,
aunt and friend to all,
passed away peacefully
on November 26, 2014
at the age of 86 years,
at home, according to
her wishes. Irene was
ahead of her time when
it came to conservation
and preserving the earth
and everyone respected
and loved her for that.
She taught us all the
right way we should be
doing things and most
times with humor and
fun. Her teachings will
live on especially in
her grandchildren, Lisa
(Brad), Nathalie, Dean
and Andrew whom she
impressed with her wisdom and unconditional
love. Her joy to hold her
great granddaughter Soleil was evidence of her
loving nature. Her husband Phil and children,
Paul (Lola), Jane (Mike)
and Bob, along with her
surviving siblings, Gerry
(Edna), Audrey (Dave),
Eleanor (Howie) and
Wally (Justyne) predeceased by her brothers
Jim (Elayne), Doug and
his surviving wife Ivy,
will miss her spontaneous dancing, her giving
nature and her knack to
always be there when
needed. She will always be with us. A private family funeral will
be held after cremation
and a celebration of her
life will be announced
at a later date. No flowers please, just go hug

CROSSWORD SOLUTION
the Green briar male chorus supports local organizations
by Wendy Gabrek
The Green Briar Male
Chorus held its final meeting
of the season last Saturday,
November 29th at the Green
Briar Community Centre.
At the meeting, members
of the all-male chorus practiced a new song that will
possibly be included in their
regular song line-up when
the group meets again next
spring.
Choir Director Bud Renshaw also presented a card
to a friend of the Chorus, in
acknowledgment of her recent engagement.
Friends, who are moving
away, and those who have
helped the Chorus “be all
that it can”, were also acknowledged with the giving
and receiving of cards.
Two special presentations
also took place at the meeting. Matthews House Hospice was presented with a
cheque for $3,100 and the
Alliston & District Lions
Club took possession of four
van loads of toys for their
Holiday Toy Drive.
Cash, cheques and gift
cards (totalling $2,702), collected for the group a recent
concert of The Green Briar
Male Chorus, were also
handed over.
The men – all good friends
and amazing singers – were
both happy and sad to see
their season come to a
close. Sporting ‘Movember’
moustaches, the gang will
be closely followed by The
Times next year, and likely
even more closely shaven!

By Wendy GaBrek
On Saturday, November
29th, the Beeton–Tottenham
Business Improvement Association (or BTBIA) held
its Annual Santa Claus Parade in Tottenham.
The event was held a week
early this year in the hopes
that better weather would
equal a better turnout – and
that it did!
More than 30 floats took
part in the event, representing local businesses, service
clubs and schools.
The winning floats were:
• Community – 1st: CRIC
(Community Recreation Improvement Committee); 2nd
Tottenham Public School
• Business – 1st Keogh
Construction; 2nd was F & P
Manufacturing.
Immediately following the
parade was the Annual Festival of Lights and community
activities at the 4-corners.
Parade goers were invited to
stay for: visits with Santa, to
view live reindeer, to watch
an ice sculpture come to life,
to make and eat iced-toffee,
to enjoy free hot chocolate
and watch buskers perform.
Residents were also encouraged to vote for their favorite holiday light display
in Tottenham. The winners
were:
• The Nolasco Family –
Modern
• The Long Family – Traditional
• The Martin Family –
Griswold
• Winner of the Best Decorated Store Front was Cedar
Kitchen.
The BTBIA’s Beeton Santa
Claus Parade will take place
this Saturday, December 6th
starting at 3 p.m. along Main
Street.
A Festival of Lights event
will take place afterwards, at
Centre and Main. Don’t forget to bring a non-perishable
item for the local food bank
– to be colleced by representatives of ‘JAK’ along
side the Keogh Construction
float.

all aBOaRD ThE SanTa ClauS ExPRESS! – The South Simcoe Railway doesn’t need a sleigh to keep up with Santa –
they can pull him and his elves from the Tottenham Station to ‘Nowhere’ and return using a steam train! Train goers over the
weekend got a chance to meet with the Man in Red himself, sharing their holiday shopping lists and leaving with candy canes
from Santa’s helpers. Additional Santa Claus Express excursions are planned for December 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21 with four
departures daily 10 a.m.,11:30 a.m.,1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Fore more information visit www.southsimcoerailway.ca
