Photos by Bill Rea Five small road projects explained at open house By Bill Rea Class environmental assessments are taking place for five small road projects on deck in the Town of Caledon. The Town hosted a public open house in Caledon village to explain them last week. Most of these sites will see work involving slope stabilization and repairing cracked pavement. There are also plans to install guard rails at some of these locations, and replace or extend culverts. Project Manager Jeff Dunlop, of Candevcon Limited, said the plan, at this time, is to have the projects go out to tender in April or May Quote of the week “We get frustrated and, hopefully, we remember.” Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones, reacting to the Provincial government spending $70 million on a pension plan that will never be enacted. 2017, with work commencing of the road and guard rails around May or June. that are either substandard Information provided at the or missing.

The third stretch is along Kennedy Road, south of High Point Sideroad, which Dunlop said consists of about 100 metres. The issues at this site include edge cracking, slope instability and a perched culvert, meaning it’s too high for the stream and creates a barrier for fish. The planned work will involve replacing the culvert, road reconstruction, slope stabilization and the installation of guard rails to ensure roadside safety. The fourth side is about 100 metres on Innis Lake Road, south of Finnerty Sideroad. The concerns at this location include an old timber retaining wall which is failing, an unstable embankment and a channel that’s migrating into the road embankment.

The government’s effort was focused on the Ontario Retirement Pension plan (ORPP). The government is boasting that they, along with the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan Administration Corporation (ORPP AC) spent up to $70 million between 2013 and 2016 to develop and start implementing the plan. But Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones called it “70 million dollars for nothing.” Finance Minister Charles Sousa and Associate Finance Minister Indira Naidoo-Harris issued a joint statement last Thursday acknowledging the agreement reached with the federal government in June to enhance the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). The statement pointed out that the Lib- erals had promised to improve retirement security during the 2014 provincial election campaign through ORPP, and they ended up forming a majority government after that election. They also pointed out that many Ontarians are unable to save enough to maintain their standard of living after retirement. “This can lead to a substantial savings gap for too many Ontario workers in retirement,” the statement said. “Since 2013, Ontario has advocated for an enhancement to the Canada Pension Plan,” the statement read. “When the previous federal government refused to act, we moved forward in 2014 with the ORPP. Ontario’s determination to provide enhanced retirement security for workers by establishing the ORPP was a catalyst in reaching a national consensus on CPP enhancement.” The government continued with its efforts while waiting to see what enhancement were coming. “The Provincial Liberals kept spending money to ramp up a program that was not necessary,” Jones charged. She was also annoyed that the government created a position for Naidoo-Harris, complete with a driver and staff, and it seems she’s got nothing to do. “We get frustrated and, hopefully, we remember,” she added, pointing to the Provincial debt of some $300 billion. “It’s things like this that add up and make a difference,” she charged. “Sadly, this is yet another example of Liberal waste and mismanagement at the expense of Ontarians’ hard-earned tax dollars, just like the $2 billion gas plant scandal we are still paying for,” commented York Simcoe MPP Julia Munro, Progressive Conservative (PC) critic for ORPP. “In typical Liberal fashion, this government needlessly and recklessly pushed their agenda forward, putting politics ahead of Ontario’s best interest.” “Getting the CPP enhancement could have cost a plane ticket to Vancouver,” Munro added in a statement issued by the PC Caucus. “Instead the government wasted $70 million.” From page A1 moval of the retaining wall. The Town anticipates there will be no impact on private property from this work, although it might be necessary to have access to some private land. Also, regarding the planned work on Kennedy Road, there have been called for pavement improvement further south, and those issues have been passed onto the Town. There have also been calls for work on Olde Base Line Road, near the Cheltenham Badlands, and those matters have been referred to Peel Region. Private properties will not be impacted zation, extension of culverts and removal of that retaining wall. Dunlop said the culvert will be replaced and extended slightly. The fifth stretch of road involves about 100 metres on Finnerty, west of The Gore Road. The concerns at this location include a deteriorating head wall, and unstable embankment and a channel which is flowing against the embankment. The plan is for road reconstruction, slope stabilization, extension of a culvert and re- Don’t want your old green bins and blue boxes? We’ll take them back!

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

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

Caledon OPP are reminding all cyclists that a bicycle is a vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act. That means cyclists are expected to obey all traffic laws, and understand that they have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers. If the bike is designed for one person, cyclists cannot carry passengers. Keep in mind that the Ministry of Transportation recommends that children under the age of 10 should not ride on the road. Police have tips for people who are riding on the road. • Ride one meter from the curb or from parked cars to have enough space to avoid hazards. • Be visible to motorists by riding in a straight line on the right hand side of the road. • Look for drivers changing lanes, exiting from driveways and parking lots to avoid being struck. • Ride in the direction of traffic. • Never share a lane with a large vehicle such as a truck or bus. • When changing lanes, remember that vehicles in the other lane of traffic have the right-of-way; this means that the person moving into the new lane must wait for an opening. • Cross railway tracks so that the tires are at a 90-degree angle to the railway track. This will prevent the wheel from catching in the track, which could make the rider fall or damage the bicycle wheels. Arrests made regarding break-in Two men from Waterloo have been charged after Caledon OPP officers came upon a break-in July 11 in the area of Emil Kolb Parkway and Regional Road 50. Police said the officers saw in the incident in progress, seeing a suspect on the industrial property holding a flashlight. The man reportedly fled on foot when he saw the officers. Police also report a white Dodge Caravan was found parked nearby with the engine running. The person inside was found to be in possession of break-and-enter tools. Members of the OPP Emergency Re- sponse Team and the OPP K9 unit were called to search for the man who fled. A suspect was located after a short search by the police dog and officers. A 58-year-old man was arrested and charged with breaking and entering, obstructing a peace officer, possession of break-in instruments, having a disguise with intent and possession property obtained by crime. A 57-year-old man was charged with breaking and entering, possession of break-in instruments, having a disguise with intent and possession of property obtained by crime. Lastly, avoid all distractions while cy- phone. Be attentive, keep eyes on the cling, like listening to music with head- road, and ride with the wind — open phones or ear buds, or using a cellular and free! Jewelry stolen in break-in Caledon OPP is investigating a home break-in on McGuire Trail in the northeast section of town. Police said the incident took place sometime between 9:30 a.m. and 1:20 p.m. June 27. Those responsible got in by forcing a door. The house was ransacked and jewelry was reported stolen. Police are reminding residents to contact the OPP Communications Centre im- mediately at 1-888-310-1122 to report any suspicious activity or vehicles in the area. Information such as suspect physical descriptions, suspect vehicles and direction of travel are useful tools for investigators. Police are also asking anyone with information about this break-in to contact them at 905-584-2241 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

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

Hundreds of people are expected Aug. 14 at Wellesley Park in King City, to commemorate the three Neville-Lake children and their grandfather who were killed in a tragic drinking and driving crash in September in Vaughan. Organizers created this memorial for parents Ed and Jennifer so they would have a permanent place to honour their children and father. Jennifer Neville-Lake grew up in King City. Through donations from the community, organizers have planted four trees with plaques dedicated to the deceased children Daniel, Harry, Milly and their grandfather, Gary Neville at Kettle Lake Park. To accommodate the change in venue, the Township will be providing pictures of the memorial trees and the children at the new location to represent the original tribute. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The morning celebration starts at 11:30 a.m. with a dove release, with bubbles provided to children in attendance to blow during the release.

Caledon Parent-Child Centre (CPCC) are challenging young families throughout Caledon to spend more time in nature and develop new healthy habits. Inspired by the Ontario government and Ontario Parks as well as the David Suzuki Foundation’s 30x30 Challenge, CPCC has decided to launch a CPCC 30x30 Nature Challenge. The CPCC challenge encourages young families with children aged six and younger to spend at least 30 minutes per day in nature for 30 days. The challenge began Aug. 1 and CPCC is helping make the challenge easy by sharing daily activities appropriate for very young children on CPCC social media sites each day. A complete list of ideas is available on the CPCC website. Participants in the daily challenges are encouraged to share photos of their adventures by emailing them to the CPCC at [email protected] All photos received will be shared in the 30x30 album on the CPCC Facebook page. Those who are interested in enjoying some quality time with family in Caledon’s great outdoors can visit www.cpcc.org to find out more about the CPCC 30x30 Nature Challenge. For adults of all ages or families with children that are older than six, activities and ideas for older children and adults can be obtained by visiting the Ontario Parks website at http://bit.ly/2a5xNTt or the David Suzuki 30x30 Challenge at http://30x30.davidsuzuki.org/ Water Softener & Purification Specialist 283 Broadway Orangeville Present coupon BUY ONE 18L U-FILL & RECEIVE SECOND FREE 519-941-9120 CPCC launches 30x30 Nature Challenge 519-941-2230 To Advertise call CROSSWORD Now Accepting New Patients General Dentistry CLUES ACROSS 1.Dried corn kernals (pl.) 6.

What’s even more disgraceful is that Caledon Councillor Annette Groves was the sole Caledon representative to support it. Of course, that should come as no surprise to residents, even those who only follow municipal matters at a very cursory level. The larger question, however, is why a majority of Mississauga and Brampton voted the way they did. One wonders if there hasn’t been strong lobbying by Solmar. This decision overturns years of work by the Town of Caledon in assessing six possible growth scenarios for the Bolton area. It ultimately chose Option 3, or the lands on the north side of King Street near Humber Station Road. This was predicated, in part, that these lands have been identified as the site of a GO Train station. Apparently the Option 3 consortium has proposed front-ending municipal infrastructure services interest free. That proposal undercuts suggestions by some Regional councillors, especially the Mississauga ones, they’re concerned about development servicing charges. If allowed to move forward, the Option 3 lands would evolve into a community on par with Brampton’s very successful Mount Pleasant district, a pedestrian/transit oriented “mobility hub” community serviced by the GO Train, interconnecting bus services with bus layover stations and bike lanes. Instead, Caledon will be saddled with even more sprawl as a result of the Region’s decision. As has been noted by Mayor Allan Thompson in print and online columns, Option 6 (again Solmar) came last on a sustainability index as part of the extensive assessment of the six growth scenarios. Although Peel Region has authority over local planning, its decisions can be overturned by the province. Caledon residents who are enraged by what has transpired at the Region might consider writing Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones, asking her to raise this issue before the Legislature when it resumes in the fall. Dan O’Reilly, Wildfield Don’t be indifferent to regulating Bill Rea make his point against more regulating as it pertains to people texting, phoning and catching Pokemons on public sidewalks, apparently initiated by some at Toronto’s City council (July 21). They want the Province to step in to outlaw these activities and he opined that apparently the Province is not going to act on it. I think the senior government should eagerly pick up on this request. As he reported, “If some idiot is texting and smashes into a wall, then good for him.” But we have also been mandated by law to wear seatbelt while riding in a car or wear helmets on motorcycles. In both those cases, and perhaps others, it might be argued that if people are careless about themselves, let them. However, this is not about saving citizens from themselves. But when they come to harm, they also become a burden on our very costly public health system, from doctors’ visits to ambulances and hospital stays. And that is why we should not be indifferent to people smashing into stationary objects, let alone fellow users of public places such as pedestrians. The alternative, of course, would be to let the miscreants who harm themselves pay their own medical expenses; but then it may become difficult to distinguish between foolhardiness and genuine, unprovoked accidents. Wulf Graunitz, Palgrave Rotary Club of Palgrave’s Weekly Rotary Minute By Krysta Cadden Sometimes as a Rotarian, in the small village of Palgrave, we get to witness something great happen many, many miles away. This past year, our Club sponsored a school project in Venezuela in partnership with Asopica — a civil association founded in 2003 by a multi-disciplinary group of people committed to providing comprehensive care to families, children and adolescents who live along the axis San Fernando-Cinaruco in Apure State, Venezuela. They created a Comprehensive School — Coromoto — in the Caño La Pica, the Mission Church Santo Cristo del Capanaparo in La Macanilla and social interventions in San Fernando de Apure, we develop educational, cultural, recreational and religious development-oriented projects sustainable and improving the quality of life in the area. The school enrols 45 students in Grades 1 through 5. Our Club, through the direction of our International Programs Director, Ricardo Aldrey, sponsored 45 children with a Padrino Program (aka the Godfather Program). This program provided each child with all of the essentials to go to school for one full year — clothing, toiletries, bedding, school supplies, medical treatments/vaccinations, and food/nourishment. The school is a boarding school where children attend for two weeks at a time. In addition to this program, we provided funds to rebuild the structure that supports the solar panels (how they obtain power at the school) as the structure was damaged last year in storms. To know that our Club — through the generosity of donations by community members such as yourselves — was able to provide the necessities to ensure 45 children received education this year is what being a Rotarian is all about. It happened today He’s accomplished a lot in life, including being elected to public office and winning the Nobel Peace Prize. He’s waiting to see who’s going to succeed him in his current office. American President Barack Obama was born this day, Aug. 4, 1961 Conventional entertainment So Donald Trump is going to be carrying the Republican colours in the upcoming presidential election south of the border, and Hillary Clinton is going to be doing the same for the Democrats. I know I’m referring to the political situation in a foreign country, but it is also a country that has an enormous impact on our own. Many of you might not be interested in what’s going on in the United States, but I maintain you should be. As many of you who know me are aware, I’m something of a political animal. Because of my job, I have to keep up to date with the politics in my municipality, province and country. Because of my curiosity, I choose to keep track of some of the things going on in the States. Two weeks ago, we saw the Republicans pick Trump as their candidate; something I would have said was next to impossible a couple of months ago. It’s not the first time I’ve been wrong about something, and I can assure you it won’t be the last. And as I’ve written many times before, there’s always plenty of room for surprises in any election cycle. And last week, we saw Clinton get a similar nod from her party. That came as less of a surprise. The fact is that eight years ago, when she and Barack Obama were battling it out for the Democratic nomination, my money was on Hillary. I based that on the fact she would have better spin doctors at her disposal; the same spin doctors who helped keep her husband Bill from being bounced from office about a decade prior to that. But enough of the past. This is 2016, and we’ve got our future to worry about. And the stage was set over the last couple of weeks with the conventions. Conventions are a fun part of the American political system, and the Canadian system too, although they seem to be a dying breed up here. When I was studying politics in university more than 30 years ago, one of my professors told me conventions were not really part of the Canadian tradition, but something we picked up from the folks to the south. They don’t have them much any more, as the party membership at large now has more of a role in picking a leader. The last one I attended was in the mid 1990s, when Dalton McGuinty was elected Liberal leader in Ontario. I suspect that will be the last convention I ever get to, at least in this country. But if my prof was right about it being a tradition we borrowed from the Yanks, I firmly believe it’s a tradition that they’re going to keep for some time to come. Good for them! The result has been two weeks of entertainment, as two political parties of the nearest convenient superpower try to hammer out who’s going to be in charge for next four years. Alas, the demands of my job prevented me from seeing much the two conventions, but I was able to catch a good part of both of them, including the acceptance speeches, and the introductions, along with a lot of the other doings. Whatever one might think of Donald Trump, there is no denying he raised some pretty impressive kids. And Clinton raised a pretty impressive daughter, although I got the feeling she is not too used to the limelight. No matter. Both conventions had their moments, both positive and negative. For example, Trump’s wife Melania has been criticized for having apparently plagiarized her remarks to the convention, borrowing from Michelle Obama’s address from eight years ago. I’m prepared to give Mrs. Trump a pass on that. True, had I borrowed someone else’s words in my writings and tried to pass them off as my own, there’d be hell to pay. On the other hand, I make my living writing in the only language with which I am intimately familiar (profanity notwithstanding). Mrs. Trump was addressing millions of people in a language other than her mother tongue, trying to promote her husband. A bit of a difference. On the other hand what really caught my attention was the way my wife got into the conventions, especially the Republican. She started discussions with me about what she had seen on there tube. It is usually the case that when we discuss politics, I do the initiating. The problem was work-related demands caused me to miss a lot of the Republican production. But it also seems that Beth was not alone. From what I have read and heard, the TV ratings for the Republican convention were a lot higher than those for the show put on by the Democrats. I guess it boils down to the fact that a guy who I dismissed as a clown a couple of months ago might be the next President of the United States. “Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone am the only one who can fix it,” Trump said in his acceptance speech. I think I’m in good company when I ask exactly how is the current system busted, but that’s Trump’s matter to address. The economy could be dong better, but it’s not doing that bad. America has not recently endured a military or diplomatic embarrassment on the order of Vietnam or the Iranian hostage crisis. I just don’t see the problem that Trump seems to think needs solving. And how highly regarded is Trump with the Republican hierarchy? There are two former Republican presidents who are still alive, both with the last name of Bush. Did we hear anything from either? The Republicans did have their convention first, meaning the Democrats knew what kind of act they had to beat. That’s not always a big advantage. Back in 1992, the Democrats had their convention first, with Bill Clinton coming out of it looking like a big boss in the making. I well remember then councillor Richard Whitehead, who was the highest ranking local liberal I was still on speaking terms with at the time, assuring me the election was already in the bag. And I reminded him that the Republicans had yet to have their turn, and incumbent George H.W. Bush was going to close the gap in short order. If your memories need refreshing, Hillary’s husband won that election handily, and the late Mr. Whitehead had another reason (as if he needed any more) to admonish me to keep my yap shut when it came to making election predictions. But there were parts of the Democrats convention that gave me the idea that they really have their act together. There were several tributes to fallen police officers, which one would have thought would be the domain of the Republicans. The issue still has a couple of months in which to play out. Election day is early in November, with the new president taking office in January. At the present time, I’m predicting Americans are about to swear in their first woman president. But we do know what my predictions are worth.

Fromwas Peel Region Her licence suspended on the spot for 90 days, and the vehicle was impoundEmil Kolb ed for seven days. Regional Chair Barely a day passes, alas, without news of yet another horrific murderous rampage by either ISIS or some other look-alike radical Islamic terrorist organization. You would think that as the death toll continues to mount around the world, the subject of what to do about the terrorists would be the top-of-mind topic for any politician running for the top office in the land. Well, think again. At least when it comes to Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party. Since neither Clinton nor current President Barack Obama refuse to even use the term “radical Islamists,” it should not be the greatest surprise that, as syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer pointed out recently, during the first night of the Democratic convention in Philadelphia, “there were 61 speeches. Not one mentioned the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or even terrorism.” Not one. Think of that. We are told that, as a former secretary of state, Clinton’s strong suit over Republican Donald Trump is precisely her experience — and his complete lack of it — in foreign policy. But, adds Krauthammer, the fact is that Clinton “left a trail of policy failures from Libya to Syria, from the Russian reset to the Iraqi withdrawal to the rise of ISIL.” No wonder they don’t want to talk about it. Instead, Clinton and her fellow Democrats — along with most of the mainstream media — chose to spend their time attacking Trump’s demonstrable lack of truthfulness and outrageous ego. Fair enough. But the only problem with that is that as much as people perceive Trump to be given to tall tales, more think that Clinton has an even more distant relationship with truth. According to two major public opinion polls released on the eve of the Democratic convention — which showed Trump got a popularity bump after the Republican shingdig in Cleveland — Clinton’s public image continues the downward slide it has been in for several months. A major CNN poll — from a network decidedly unfriendly toward Republicans — 68 per cent of people asked said Clinton is not honest and trustworthy. That is her worst number on record, up from 59 per cent early in May — and far beyond the 43 per cent who say Trump is dishonest. A CBS poll found that 67 per cent of the respondents say Clinton is dishonest. It also found that 56 per cent have National Affairs an “unfavorable” view of her, compared Claire Hoy to 31 per cent “favorable,” while Gallup showed just 38 per cent “favorable” compared to 57 per cent “unfavorable,” giving her — for the first time — a public image worse than Trump. And all this, despite the best efforts of most of the mainstream media to gloss over Clinton’s serial failings and highlight every stupid thing Trump does or says — of which there is, as in Clinton’s case, no shortage. The best the Democrats could devise to attempt to rehabilitate Clinton’s horrible public image was to tout the fact that some 100 Hollywood celebrities have decided they are going full Monty to support her bid for the presidency and attack Trump at every possible opportunity. It apparently has not occurred to the pointy heads who are running the Democratic campaign that that’s exactly the sort of tactic they should NOT be encouraging. Trump’s strength — and it’s still hard to believe what has happened — is his appeal, not to the elite, but to the millions of Americans who believe they have been ignored and left behind by the current political elite on both sides of the aisle, as well as those in the media, academia and elsewhere. The more often a spoiled Hollywood star or starlet pumps up their candidate, the more average Americans can be assured that their basic, every day concerns – which surely includes a genuine fear of radical Islamists – are not likely to be met by Clinton and her elitist supporters. As your humble correspondent has written many times, I would be sorely conflicted if I had to chose between Clinton and Trump, since neither is really the type of person who gives one confidence for the future. While much is made about the number of Republican leaders who are unhappy that Trump is now their man, it is often conveniently overlooked that millions of registered Democrats were so unhappy with Clinton as their flag waver that they continue to yearn, for an aging socialist who, until the latest round of electioneering, wasn’t even a registered Democrat. Clearly, nobody can say with precision who will win this remarkable showdown. But in normal times, that is if the Democrats had anybody but Clinton, Trump surely wouldn’t stand a chance. Then again, if the Republicans had somebody other than Trump, the Democrats wouldn’t stand a chance. We really do live, as the old proverb goes, in interesting times. Mayor Allan Tho Ottawa Jou sentation will be further minimized if the proposed changes to the number of Grant Review Teams occur. Currently there are 16 review teams across the province. Under the proposed changes, that number would be reduced to five. By reducing the number of regions, there will be fewer local voices and less local knowledge provided when approving a grant for a local community initiative. This is precisely the opposite of what communities like Dufferin and Caledon need. I have written to the CEO of the Ontario Trillium Foundation calling on her “to stop pursuing the ‘regionally based model’ and improve the process for filling vacancies to ensure local representation is maintained.” If you agree I encourage you to email or write to the Ontario Trillium Foundation. If you have any questions or want help contacting the OTF do not hesitate to contact my office at sylvia.jonesco@ pc.ola.org or 1-800-265-1603.

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

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

The owner of Core Solutions Physiotherapy and Wellness in Caledon East is excited to volunteer her skills as athletic therapist to take care of Canadian Olympians. “It is an honor amongst ourselves as health care providers to be nominated to attend and work with our Canadian Olympians,” she said. “It is a greater surprise to be able to do it once again at back-to-back Summer Olympics.” This will be Prieur’s second Olympics for which she has been nominated, and she has volunteered in many other major Games, including the 2015 Pan American Games Health Care Team; the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland; 2012 London Olympic Games Health Care Team; 2011 World University Games in Erzurum, Turkey; 2009 World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia; 2007 World University Games in Turino, Italy; and the 2003 Pan American Games Health Care Team in Santo Domingo, Dominican Re- public. Between 2010 and 2015, she made multiple trips to London, Florida, Italy, Spain and Germany working with Diving Canada. Typically, to be able to volunteer at a Games at this level, the nominated therapist has to commit to more than three weeks. Prieur has done this time and time again. She will be heading to the Olympic village early July 25 and will leave right before closing ceremonies, therefore being in Brazil for almost a month. Her role is as one of six therapists attending will be to work alongside physicians to ensure the Canadian team is in top shape for performance. She will be attending practices and games, providing on-field coverage and support to Canadian Olympians and will otherwise be available in clinic to treat any sort of aches, pains or ongoing issues. At this time, Prieur will be focusing on providing consistent therapy support to diving, shooting, archery and beach volleyball athletes. Prieur is a member of the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association and was nominated to the Canadian Core Health team due to her skills as an athletic therapist, continued education and past experiences with high performance sport. She has been practising athletic therapy for 18 years. Andrea lives in Caledon East with her husband and three young sons and is very active with the community co-chairing the Caledon East Revitalization Committee. The Games will run from Aug. 5 to 21 and will have 10,500 athletes from 206 countries attending. Fraud charges laid A 53-year-old Caledon resident has been charged after a police investigation that started in March. Caledon OPP reports they received a complaint regarding a possible fraud. The victim reported noticing multiple outstanding balances with customer accounts. Over an extended period, the employee was responsible for depositing company cheques into her personal account. The victim sustained a loss of approximately $160,000. The woman was charged with fraud over $5,000.

With record investments being made by government in transit and transportation infrastructure, the business advocacy organization is calling upon the provincial government to recognize, through infrastructure dollars, that access to high speed internet is also essential for Ontario businesses to compete in the 21st century global economy. Local businesses in Caledon and other rural communities are becoming increasingly dependent on internet access for their everyday business practice. High-speed internet access has become a necessity for doing business in today’s economy and it is critical that all regions across Ontario have access to this essential infrastructure. While the Caledon Chamber of Commerce and the OCC acknowledge broadband investments made by the Government of Canada in the recent federal budget, internet access continues to be an issue in parts of Ontario. The letter to the Premier identifies three key recommendations that the Ontario government should address in the coming term to ensure all communities in the province are able to compete in the global economy: 1. Develop a robust broadband investment strategy that acknowledges that broadband is an essential infrastructure investment, Mr. Handyman Headwaters P 905-843-1975 17063 Hwy 50, Caledon, ON L7E 0K5 www.mrhandyman.ca Tel: 905-880-CARS (2277) www.albionhillsautocollision.com and creates space for continued private-sector investment. 2. Build partnerships across all levels of government in order to leverage funding and respond to local need. Recognizing that the private sector has driven investment in broadband infrastructure, the OCC recommends an intergovernmental funds matching formula that will continue to incentivize large private sector investments. 3. Benchmark Ontario’s internet speeds and access. In order to ensure Ontario is able to compete in a technology-driven global economy, we need to create broadband infrastructure that is equal with those of other globally-competitive jurisdictions. “Just as businesses depend on roads and electricity, high-speed Internet is fundamental to advancing the province’s economic interests,” said Allan O’Dette, CEO & President of the OCC. “Committing funds to broadband infrastructure in rural and remote regions of the province will ensure that economic fragmentation is reduced in Ontario.” With government services increasingly shifting to online platforms, universal access to high speed internet is becoming more important than ever.

A14 CALEDON CITIZEN | AUGUST 4, 2016 New Lowell defeats Bolton in home tournament final By Jake Courtepatte The North Dufferin Baseball League got a taste of what to expect in the first playoff round from the league’s top team. The New Lowell Knights were the champions of their own tournament over the Civic Holiday weekend, trouncing the Bolton Dodgers in the final 11-0. New Lowell got on the board early by knocking in three runs in the first inning, and adding another in the second. Seven runs in the fifth inning put the Dodgers away for good, putting the mercy rule into effect. Bolton was able to record only two hits through the five innings. New Lowell, who emerged this season as a powerhouse team in the AA league, last won the tournament in 2011. Bolton reached the final on a 2-0 round-robin record, with a hard-fought 6-4 win over the Creemore Barons followed by a 4-4 tie with Niagara Falls Sunday. The Dodgers earned the win thanks to the tiebreaker, having left the most runners on base. Creemore defeated the Mansfield Cubs 9-3 in the consolation game. New Lowell’s Todd Gowan, one of the top hurlers in the NDBL year after year, took home best pitcher honours. The most valuable player award went to Creemore’s Eric Orser. Interestingly enough, the Knights and Dodgers are opponents in the first round of the NDBL playoffs, the Knights finishing the regular season as the top seed and the Dodgers squeaking in at eighth. The Dodgers will be a heavy underdog in the best-of-five series, with the Knights having lost just four games all season. The series opened Tuesday evening in Creemore, shifting to North Hill Park in Bolton for Game 2 Wednesday. Game 3 will be played Sunday in New Lowell, with a 1 p.m. start time. If needed, the contest returns to Bolton Wednesday for Game 4. The start time is set for 8:45 p.m. For stats, schedules and more information, visit www.ndbl.ca Work proceeding on Etobicoke Creek Trail Work is currently being carried out on the Etobicoke Creek Trail south of Cliffview Court in Valleywood.
