Arguments made over allegations against mayor
donsheatingandcooling.com
By Bill Rea
Judgment has been reserved
in the case involving conflict of
interest allegations against
mayor Allan Thompson.
Mr. Justice Peter Daley of
the Superior Court of Justice
spent a day and a half last
week hearing submissions
from lawyers for Thompson,
and Kelly Darnley, who commenced the action against
him.
Lawyer Kevin Sherkin, representing Darnley, told Daley
the application had been made
under the Municipal Conflict
of Interest Act, stating that
Thompson had voted on matters in which he had a pecuniary interest a number of times.
Quote
of the week

Sherkin said the question Sherkin said that proposed
was would such a debt have development would have inInsta

Another issue he raised was
over the sale of Thompson’s
farm. Sherkin said it was sold in
September 2014, and the deal
was closed the following April.

A2 CALEDON CITIZEN | APRIL 28, 2016
Lawyer stresses Mayor has to be able to do his job
From page A1
In a vote at Peel Regional council Sept.
11, 2014, Sherkin said Thompson voted
to expand Mayfield West by adding agricultural lands to the west, but he didn’t
disclose that he had property within five
kilometres
He also cited evidence from Thompson
himself, who agreed the faster Mayfield
West is filled, the quicker the value of his
property would increase.
Sherkin said Thompson sold his property to Primont Homes, and Thompson, he
said, had maintained he knew he sold to
a developer, but didn’t know which one.
He also said the purchase price was about
$9.4 million, and there was an agreement
that Thompson could continue to live
there, rent-free for up to 15 years.
He added a politician and member of
council has a duty to inform himself in
cases such as someone buying his property.
“At a minimum, it’s willful blindness,”
Sherkin remarked.
In an effort to connect these matters to
actual votes Thompson took part in, Sherkin said Thompson chaired a meeting at
the Town in June 2014, at which he asked
staff to expedite a development in which
Primont was likely to be the builder.
He also said there was a vote at council
Sept. 16 to approve the subdivision.
Sherkin asked if a reasonable elector
would think such a votes was affected by
a financial interest. He added the public
would have expected Thompson to show
due diligence and make some inquiries.
Sherkin also commented on the
$600,000 loan which Thompson received
in 2007, arguing it came from a company
that was run by people who were principals in other development corporations.
“Mr. Thompson doesn’t have any credibility,” Sherkin told the judge.
He also mentioned that around the time
of the closing, Thompson was having financial trouble. The Ministry of National
Revenue had registered a tax lean on his
property because he owed about $40,000.
Sherkin argued Thompson was subject
to influence because he was in financial
need.
Lawyer Alan Lenczner, representing
Thompson, commented on the structure
of the Act, as it deals with direct and indirect interests, and exceptions. He said
it’s possible for a councillor to have a direct interest that’s in common with other
people.
Lenczner cited Darnley as stating about
80 per cent of the land in Caledon is within the provincial Greenbelt, meaning any
development in town would have to take
place in the remaining 20 per cent, including the Whitebelt, in which Thompson
lives.
He also stressed that Thompson still
has to be able to do his job. He stated that

Darnley has argued that if Thompson voted on anything regarding the Whitebelt
that could have the potential to increase
the value of his property, then there’s a
potential conflict. But Lenczner argued
that wouldn’t be the case because that interest would be in common with electors
in general. Any development in Caledon
has the potential of raising the value of
any property in Caledon, he maintained.
He also commented on the timeliness of
Darnley’s application. Lenczner cited her
affidavit that she was very familiar with
planning matters, as she was an officials
with the Caledon Chamber of Commerce
from 1998 until 2011. She had also maintained that she acted in the best interests of the business community and was
very familiar with the planning process
related to growth in Caledon. As well,
he said Darnley was disappointed that
the Chamber’s view of planning was not
supported by council. In addition, he said
Darnley was aware that Thompson was a
councillor since 2003 and elected mayor
in 2014. And since Darnley said she attended council meetings, she would have
known that Thompson voted on matters
at the council table. And she knew he was
a resident, property owner and farmer in
Caledon.
Lenczner said Darnley read a Toronto
Star article in June, 2015 stating that
Thompson had sold his property for $9.4
million, suggesting that was the hook
that led to her action, prompting her to do
more investigating.
Addressing growth issues, Lenczner
said Darnley, in her affidavit, stated she
was aware the Town’s Official Plan called
for growth in Mayfield West, she never
saw the need for it and opposed it often.
“I don’t like what the elected officials
have done,” was the way Lenczner characterized Darnley’s opposition, even if what
they were doing was called for in the Official Plan.
Lenczner also addressed the June 2014
meeting, observing no vote would have
been taken because it was a public information meeting.
He added her affidavit mischaracterizes
most of the votes she cited.
Lenczner commented that Thompson
gave evidence that development on any
lands he sold would be at least 50 years
in the future, adding that was never challenged.
Earlier this month, Caledon resident
Charles Bristoll launched an action of his
own against Thompson regarding conflict
of interests. Lenczner wasn’t impressed
with that, and he didn’t think Daley
should be either. He said Bristoll had become disgusted with the planning process
in Caledon, and was aware of conflict of
interest allegations. Darnley sent him a
copy of a newspaper article on the matter,
and he got involved.
Lenczner said Bristoll never read Darnley’s affidavit.
He added Bristoll had been involved
with the Chamber of Commerce from 2003
to 2010, but walked away because development was being pushed toward Mayfield West rather than Bolton. Lenczner
said Bristoll cancelled his subscriptions to
local newspapers because he didn’t want
to know what council was doing.
Darnley showed Bristoll the article, and
Lenczner said Bristoll contacted Sherkin.
“This is not a true, independent application,” Lenczner said.
Lenczner also addressed the Alloa Landowners’ Group, which owns thousands of
acres between the second phase of Mayfield West and the Thompson lands.
“Mr. Thompson has nothing to do with
these people,” he said, adding there have
been no applications from the group.
Driver tries to flee from collision
A 22-year-old man from Oakville is facing a number of charges after a traffic incident on King Street March 29.
Caledon OPP reports they were called
to a location between Heritage and Mississauga Roads around 11:30 p.m. They
found an extensively damaged Dodge
Challenger, but they weren’t able to find
any occupants.
Police were able to obtain information
from the public that led them to a nearby
resident, where they found the uninjured
driver, as well as a passenger.
Following an investigation, it was determined that the driver had consumed
alcohol prior to the collision and a breath
sample demand was made. The man failed
to provide a suitable sample of his breath.
The man was charged with dangerous
operation of a motor vehicle, failure to
stop at the scene of an accident, and refusing to supply a breath sample.
The 90-day Administrative Drivers’ Licence Suspension (ADLS) program was
initiated and his vehicle was impounded
for seven days.
“Has your life been affected by someone else’s
drinking? Al-Anon Family Group is for you.” The
Bolton group meets Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. at

A 34-year-old Caledon man is facing
more charges after a home was broken
into March 31.
During the course of their investigation,
Caledon OPP received multiple tips from
the public as to the identity of the suspects, thanks to a You Tube video posted online of the surveillance footage from
the incident. As a result, police were able
to arrest and charge the males caught on
camera.
As a result of search warrants executed by Caledon OPP’s Street Crime Unit,
the one accused has additionally been
charged with possession of a prohibited
device or ammunition, careless storage of
a firearm, having a prohibited device or
ammunition, unauthorized possession of
a firearm, 10 counts of possession of credit card data, nine counts of possession of
a credit card, five counts of identity documents, three counts of possession of firearm or ammunition contrary to a prohibition order and two counts of unauthorized
possession of a prohibited or restricted
firearm.
Caledon OPP would like to thank all
those who contacted police with information as to the identity of the people
involved in the incident. Never underestimate the power of a phone call to police.
It is with the public’s assistance that the
police can help victims of crime and hold
lawbreakers accountable for their actions.

the last century, to the descendants of the
Celtic heritage of Eastern Canada.
There are two performances, one already sold out in Alliston and the other at
Mayfield Secondary School for an evening
performance April 30, for which there are
still tickets.
As we sat in the back of the hall where
they rehearse, the songs were full of the
tales of the sea, working in the mines, the
lives and losses of the Irish, Welsh and
Scots. Across the ocean to the New World,
the sea still dominates the ruminations
of the poetry within the songs and the orchestration of these choral voices seems to
pull us along amid the waves, the storms
and the journeys home.
Some of the songs are complicated, with
voices weaving in and around the melodies and the harmonies. The trick is to
make those vocal manoeuvres sound easy,
which is achieved by these rehearsals,
repetition and “sing it again.” Further,
the songs have jokes, lots of humour, fables, stories you might never had heard.
There are rolling and guttural “‘r’s”, attitude, accents, fluctuating dynamics — pianissimo — forte!
At the controls of this learning and
practising is A. Dale Wood, who co-founded the choir all those 34 years ago, in 1982
in Hockley with Mr. Meyers from Austria
who loved music and wanted to establish
a choir in this rural area.
Throughout the life of this collective,
there are still several original members,
still attending every Wednesday to listen
so attentively to Wood as he urges, presses, critiques and praises the choir while
the work progresses. He instructs them in
diction, in the process of pushing an “r” for
emphasis in the words; helping them understand the intonation in accents which
are not their own.
For the whole span of time, the choir
and Wood have been singing together,
they have returned his demands with every inch of effort, their loyalty and respect
for him complete. He has always been the
undisputed maestro.
Under that direction, the Achill Choral
Society has had a successful career as a
choir, filling the venues for their performances here and overseas. They have
been invited to sing, both on their own
and in company with local choirs, in fine
halls and churches in many countries
across Europe, the U.K and, as we mentioned, Ireland.
This choir, like most music making and
sharing groups is a community of friends.
However much they do or do not see one
another between rehearsals, they care for
each other. In times of trouble or joy, they
commiserate and rejoice. Many of them
have known each other for a long time;
some have only been with the choir a couple of years or a few months.
Traditional to the Celtic song is the
haunting, wishful tones — music that
floats one second and bounces the next. In
a conversation with Wood after rehearsal,
he told us, “They’ll sing in Gaelic. They’ll
sing in old accents.”
The songs are full of history, myth and
folk stories.
The music committee choses a selection
for a proposed concert but Wood always
has the final say.
“They put together a collection of Maritime folk songs and I said that wasn’t a concert,” he said. “Then they came back with
this all Celtic selection and that’s a concert!”
Still, there is a wide range of Celtic music and Wood was clear about the times
from which the music was chosen.
“To begin with,” he said, “we were looking at just the ancient music but there’s so
much that’s modern from the East Coast
that we just had to include it. I wanted
that modern Celtic music.”
Why do a Celtic show? There is a lot of
audience appeal with the demographics of
the area was one answer and the interesting challenge of singing in the dialects
and language was the other.
The choir is accompanied for this concert by NUA, a Canadian Trad Trio of
three musicians. James Law plays the
fiddle; Graeme McGillivray is on guitar
and master of the Bordhran is Jacob McCauley.
Wood has also directed the Georgetown
Choral Society and Georgetown Children’s Choir for 40 and 25 years respectively.
Asked what he thinks keeps such groups
going for so long, he replied, “The love and
joy of singing. Music is part of us. There’s
lots of history – these are great musical
communities.”
Tickets for the concert may be purchased at BookLore in Orangeville,
Holmes Appliance and Music Store, Shelburne, Forester’s Book Store, Bolton and
Dryclean World, Caledon East, as well as
from all Achill members.

Sunday at Alton Mill: Nonnie Griffin is Marilyn — After
By Constance Scrafield
What if the much toted, unforgettable
Marilyn Monroe were to come back to talk
to audiences for an hour and a half?
To talk to them, as we contend, and tell
them all they need to know, all the truth
about her life — about her death? Would
she be allowed to rest after that?
Perhaps, Nonnie Griffin will provide the
answer to those questions with her fabulous show Marilyn — After! It opens for one
performance at the Alton Mill Arts Centre
Sunday afternoon (May 1) as a special fundraiser for Haiti.
Like many inspirations that lead to a
great deal of hard work, resulting in a stunning production, Griffin’s road to writing
Marilyn — After began simply enough.
“A friend of mine said, ‘You look like Marilyn — why don’t you write a show about
her?’” Griffin told us in a telephone interview.
Naturally, there was nothing simple
about the research or the writing. So
much has been written about, thought
about, filmed about Marilyn that to come
up with something original was no small
feat.
“She (Marilyn) comes back older as herself,” she said. “I absolutely believe in it because only when the actor believes it, the
audience believes it.”
To tell something of Griffin’s recent history, she started writing a prior show, Sister Annunciata’s Secret, in 2009 and performed the piece first at the Alex Theatre
on Bathurst Street, Toronto.
After a couple of other “spots” of playing
the piece, her cousins, living in Edinburgh,
Scotland, invited her to come over. There,
she did the show for two weeks at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Following Edinburgh, Griffin began to
write Marilyn, in 2012.
There were long hours of research and
Griffin set herself to the task. She was determined to get to the root of Marilyn’s history, to a real understanding of her whole
story. There could be no shirking Marilyn’s
truths nor dodging the details behind her
death.
She said the show took eight months of
research, “pouring over hundreds of books
to put it together.”
“Of course, I’m telling the truth about
Marilyn,” she asserted. “She talks about
her life and her death.”
The show runs for close on an hour and
a half with no intermission. “I wish I could
spend more time, but you don’t want the audience to fall over in a coma.”
As to how she maintains her energy to
deliver such a performance over the whole
length of the show, she said, “To bring a
character like her to life and feel that passion, it carries me.”
Marilyn — After has been seen in some
wonderful venues and the actress is very
happy about the kind of success she has had
with it. For its first production, she took it
to Buddy’s in Bad Times in Toronto for two
weeks. She then played it in London, Hamilton, Kitchener and Collingwood.
In October, 2015, Griffin was thrilled to
play it in New York at the Broadway Row
Theatre. For her remarkable Marilyn —
Now Accepting New Patients
Adult & Children
Orthodontics
We’ll make you smile
After, she was awarded Best International
Production.
She was travelling for the adventure with
Darren Steward, her producer. In New
York, Henry Keeler put the very simple set
together.
It was a sensational highlight for her.
Griffin’s excitement with her experience
there rang out, “I was so glad I experienced
a New York audience. They clapped at everything — they got it . . . I was lifted to the
skies by them.”
“My cousins came too — it was — you
know — just wonderful.” And, of course: “I
wish I could do Broadway.”
We chatted a while about her own history.
“I studied at the Toronto Conservatory
. . . It was called the Royal Conservatory
then, and had an excellent Speech Arts
and Drama section. My great and beloved
drama teacher was Mrs. Clara Baker . . .
She was the greatest teacher of my life. She
combined talent, wisdom and incredible humanity.
“She told me, ‘Margaret, you’ve got the
magic.’”
Reminiscing, she added, “To hear her do
a poem was to be transfixed. She is now and
always will be unforgettable.”
Continuing her studies in England, she
trained under the tutelage of Denys Blacklock, who reassured her: “You know what
you’re doing.”
In England, she performed in, amongst
others, the Bristol Old Vic, “the oldest, most
distinguished theatre in the U.K.”
Her change of name came about while she
was joining Equity in America. Apparently,
there was another Margaret Griffin, so ours
decided to change her name to Nonnie.
“It is so Irish,” she laughed. “I was born
here, but I have so much Irish in me and
Ukrainian. Two Celts.”
During the very early seasons at the Griffin has been writing throughout her long
career.
“I did write for radio,” she commented. I
was a constant radio actor — Orphelia (in
Hamlet) — As You Like It.”
About her present project and her performance at the Alton Mill, she said, “It’s a
treat to share the story. This is a fundraiser
for KAMI, the local Haiti charity.”
As to donating her performance for the
cause, she replied simply, “What’s an actor
to do? Pauline Johnson, the great Canadian
poet, went across Canada performing .”
Marilyn — After, written and performed
by Nonnie Griffin, is on for one performance
only at the Alton Mill at 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
For tickets, go to BookLore on First Street
in Orangeville or call Anne Ley, the organizer, at 519-940-3659.

department at South Lake Regional Health
Centre in Newmarket, which is a satellite
centre for the Hospital for Sick Children in
Toronto. He said he and his mother Jacquie
have been seeking contributions.
He is a cancer survivor, and he said to-
morrow’s haircut has been timed to mark
three years since he completed his chemotherapy.
The event will take place at 2 p.m. at
James bolton Public School, where he’s a
Grade 5 student.
An account for contributions to the cause
has been set up under the name Gatt Gives
Back at the TD branch at 12684 Highway

Editorial
What happens now
that charges are
dismissed against
Senator Duffy?
Now that all 31 criminal charges against him have been
appropriately dismissed, Senator Mike Duffy still has a serious problem.
He remains a victim of what to us was an illegal appointment by a non-lawyer prime minister who seemingly failed
to read the British North America Act’s clear provisions for
appointments to the Senate.
Those provisions made three basic requirements: that the
appointee be at least 30 years old; that he (until the famous
1929 “persons” case only males could qualify) have unencumbered property somewhere worth at least $4,000, and
that he be a resident of the province he was to represent in
the Upper Chamber.
Duffy clearly met two of the three requirements. He was
well past 30, and had long owned a house in an Ottawa suburb worth much more than $4,000, but for many years he
had not been a resident of his birthplace, Prince Edward
Island, save for visits to his summer cottage near Summerside, which is apparently on a road that never sees a snowplow.
Nevertheless, then prime minister Stephen Harper insisted that the celebrated CTV political commentator sit in the
Senate as a member from PEI, not Ontario. And now that
last week’s ruling by Ontario Court Justice Charles Vaillancourt has permitted the senator to return to Parliament, the
question of the legality of his appointment, and that of colleague Pamela Wallin to represent Saskatchewan, remains
unaddressed.
In the circumstances, we think Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau would earn more than a few brownie points by
having his cabinet pass an Order-in-Council declaring the
two 1999 appointments invalid and re-appointing the two
senators to fill a couple of the 24 seats reserved for Ontario
residents.
Although obviously there is no precedent for such action,
the BNA Act (now known as the Constitution Act) at least
implicitly permits it by requiring Senate appointments to
be by the federal Cabinet by order-in-council. In this case,
we couldn’t imagine anyone challenging such an order, let
alone the challenge being successful.
For one thing, it would allow the PEI and Saskatchewan
governments to recommend real residents of their province
for the vacated Senate seats while presumably encouraging
Senators Duffy and Wallin to serve as independents.
In the aftermath of the Vaillancourt decision, it will be
interesting to see whether the Crown pursues the prosecutions of any other senators, including those already
launched against former Liberal senator Mac Harb and Patrick Brazeau, a Quebec senator appointed as a Conservative
who now sits as an independent, as does Senator Wallin,
who has not been charged but along with the others has
been suspended without pay since 2013.
So much for the actions needed (or not needed) by the federal government and the Crown. Assuming that the 304page Vaillancourt ruling will be required reading for all
senators, surely some action is also required by the Senate
itself.
The first action surely ought to be the payment of the
cancelled salaries of Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau and that of
Harb up to the point where he resigned. As we see it, any
employer who suspends an employee without pay because
he or she is charged with a criminal offence is finding the
employee guilty before the charges have been tested judicially.
Beyond that, the Senate should surely rein in its members’ spending habits by establishing clear rules as to what
personal expenses can be charged to the taxpayer as having
been made necessary by their duties as senators.
Such rules should at least attempt to differentiate between expenses required by one’s office as a senator and
those resulting from loyalty to the political party that appointed them or has since won their support.
The rules should also stipulate that any senator’s travel
by air should be on economy, or at most business-class fares,
and that each senator’s overall billings should be published
annually, ideally on the Internet.
Who knows? If the provinces approved a constitutional
change upping representation for Western Canada, the Senate might one day be seen coast-to-coast as truly a place for
“sober second thought” that’s worth keeping.
It happened today
There’s no denying William Bligh was a remarkably good seaman, but it seems his ability to get along with those working under
him left something to be desired.
Bligh and his crew were sent on HMS Bounty to Tahiti to collect
a supply of breadfruit to be transported to the West Indies as a food
supply for slaves.
They were on their way back with their cargo when Bligh’s attitude, combined with resentment among some of the crew over
leaving such an idyllic place, resulted in some of them, under the
leadership of Fletcher Christian, seizing the ship. Captain Bligh and
men loyal to him were set adrift, but his remarkable seamanship
came to the rescue and the small boat was able to reach a friendly
port. Only a few of the mutineers were ever tried, and three were
eventually hanged
The infamous mutiny on the Bounty took place this day, April
28, 1789.

There are times when I think I’m just as
bad as the Toronto Sun when it comes to
publicizing Paul Bernardo.
Every time he, or his former wife Karla Homolka appear in the news, I seem to
have something to write about it.
My wife and I are in the habit of waking up every morning in time for the 7 a.m.
news, and such was the case last Wednesday.
“Mark my words,” I said to Beth in the
moments waiting for the news to come on.
“Either Karla Homolka, Paul Bernardo or
both will be on the front page
of the Sun today.”
As usual, I was absolutely
right (I wouldn’t have even
mentioned it had I been
wrong). Karla was on the
front, but a nice, sappy copy
of one of Paul and Karla’s
wedding photo was on page
3. The Sun will run pictures
of these two because the
people in charge there know
they help sell newspapers.
Nothing wrong with that.
Homolka was back in the
news last week because it
was discovered that she and
her three children are living in a Montreal
suburb, under a new name. According to
the accounts that I have read, residents of
the neighbourhood are not too pleased. I
don’t have children, and I wouldn’t be very
happy at the thought of having someone
like that as a neighbour, so I could understand the extra concern that would be felt
by parents.
One the other hand, what exactly can be
done about it?
Did you pick your neighbours?
Actually, in a manner of speaking, I did,
sort of.
Beth and I moved into her late mother’s
house about a year ago, just down the road
from her brother. I had no serious problems moving next to my brother-in-law,
and somewhat to my astonishment, he
hasn’t moved.
But the fact is, when we move into an
area, we’re pretty well stuck with who else
lives there. And people come and go, and
as our neighbours change, we have little
control over that.
And who among us would want such
control. Certainly none of us would want it
exercised against us.
There might be some who complain the
municipality should exercise some control
over who gets in. But I did not apply to
move to Caledon. The house was there, I
had an interest in it, so Beth and I moved.
We made no application, there was no vote
taken at Town council. The only reason the
mayor would have known I was moving in
was strictly because I might have mentioned it.
None of us would go along with seeking
the approval of anyone before moving into
a neighbourhood.
Homolka expects the same rights.
It would be different if she were a fugitive from justice, but that is not the case.
She is a convicted felon, but there are lots
of them around, and as long as they don’t
reoffend, we learn to get by with them in
our midst.
Karla took part in some repulsive acts,
but she also went to prison for them. She
was sentenced to 12 years for her crimes,
which involved the deaths of three young
ladies, including her sister.
There were many, myself included, who
believed her sentence was too light. But it
was what was arrived at after considerable
negotiation, and the whole thing was approved by a very learned judge.
And even if the sentence was light, I
don’t think anyone thought she would
serve the whole 12 years. We all figured
parole would come into play, or some form
of early release. Such was not the case. She
did the whole 12 years without remission.
What this all comes down to is society,
through the legal system, called her to account for her crimes, set a price to be paid,
and she paid it in full.
As repugnant as it might be for some,
the fact is our legal system says Homolka
now has the right to move on with her life.
Is society prepared to permit it?
Is it possible she might seriously reoffend some day? Anything is possible. But
it’s been more than 20 years
since these crimes were committed, and Karla has been
out of prison for about 11
years. Considering the way
the media keeps track of her,
I would expect there would
be lots of headlines if there
was evidence she had got
even a little out of line.
She is not the only convicted felon who’s facing a hard
time in her efforts to get on
with her life.
During the last couple of
weeks, it was reported that
the California state parole
board voted to free Leslie Van Houten.
Van Houten was a devout follower of
Charles Manson. While she wasn’t involved
in the killings that took place in 1969 at
the home of Sharon Tate, she was an active
and enthusiastic participant the following
night when Leno and Rosemary LaBianca
were brutally murdered. She was convicted
and sentenced to die, but that was reduced
to life after California abolished the death
penalty. There were complications involving her original trial, such as her lawyer
disappearing (the theory, never proved, is
the lawyer was bumped off by Manson’s followers), so she was put on trial again. That
resulted in a hung jury. Her third trial ended in a conviction, which explains why she’s
still in prison.
For years, it has been said that of all the
murderers in the Manson family who are
locked up, Van Houten had the best chance
of getting parole, and it looks like that day
could be getting close. But there is a complication.
According to what I’ve read, the matter still has to be reviewed by the parole
board’s legal team. No problem there. It
sounds like a simple matter of sober second thought. But then the whole thing has
to be approved by California’s governor,
and Jerry Brown has already shot down a
Manson family member’s bid for parole.
That’s the part I have a problem with.
Elected officials should and do establish
policy, including when convicted killers
are allowed to leave custody. But when it
comes to implementing that policy, they
should step back and let people who are
trained to call such shots do their job.
The only issue that should be on the
table when it comes to deciding if Van
Houten should be released is which move
is in the best service of justice. If you put it
on the desk of an elected official, then the
question of how many votes are involved
comes into play.
I don’t know if Leslie Van Houten should
be set free. On the one side, she has shown
remorse for her actions, her prison record
has been exemplary and she’s had more
than 45 years to reflect on the wrong she
did. On the other hand, two innocent people
she never met before that night lie in their
graves, partly because of her. Incidentally,
members of the LaBianca family have spoken out against her release. Were I in their
position, I would probably do the same.
Again, the question is will society permit
it?
I hate the thought of a judicial system
that caters to the will of a mob.

Parliamentary Budget Officer calls out Liberal budget
Last week, the Parliamentary Budget
Officer (PBO) issued his full analysis of
the Liberal government’s 2016 Budget.
The PBO confirmed that the former
Conservative government left the Liberals
with a $700 million surplus, and that the
Liberal deficit would exceed $20 billion.
The PBO also confirmed that by reversing
the Conservative Party’s plan to raise Old
Age Security eligibility to 67, the Liberals
will burden future generations with more
than $11 billion in annual costs.
The PBO confirmed that the former
Conservative government left the Liberals with a budgetary surplus, contrary to
what Minister Morneau told Canadians.
The PBO also confirmed that the Liberals broke their election promise and ran a
deficit larger than $10 billion.
Conservatives will continue to hold the
Liberal government accountable for its
out-of-control spending and we will call
on the Liberals to stop raising taxes on

Canadian families and small businesses. The PBO confirmed that the Liberals
are manipulating the numbers, and this
finding shows that the Liberals cannot be
trusted with the country’s finances.
The Conservative record is clear.
During the worst economic downturn
since the Great Recession, Canada
had the best job creation and economic
growth record among G7 countries. We
lowered taxes. We reduced taxes to their
lowest point in 50 years, with a typical
family of four saving almost $7,000 per
year. We returned to balanced budgets.
After running a targeted stimulus program that created and maintained approximately 200,000 jobs, we kept our
promise to balance the budget and left
the Liberals with a surplus.
Canada’s current economic conditions
are not those that justify a fiscal stimulus. According to the Bank of Canada’s
Ottawa Journal

David Tilson

Sylvia Jones

A9
January forecast, the economy will grow
by 1.4 per cent in 2016 and 2.4 per cent in
2017. Figures released since then suggest
growth could be even higher this year,
with some commentators saying Canada
will outperform the G7 average. Compare
that to the depths of 2009, when GDP was
shrinking at a rate of over four per cent
because consumer and business spending
had collapsed.
The crux of Canada’s economic trouble
is a supply shock due to structurally lower commodity prices. This has reduced the
value of output in pockets of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Eastern Canada, causing
resource businesses to cut investment
and hiring. Recovery depends not on propping up demand through stimulus, but on
workers and businesses shifting to higher-value activities. Helped by a lower Canadian dollar, the rapid growth of non-energy exports since mid-2015 suggests this
process is already underway.

important issue I heard
from individuals at this year’s home show
Claire Hoy
Here’s a terrible thought.
If the anxious-to-kill brigade had its way,
and the proposed Liberal state-killing bill
covered more circumstances than it will,
wouldn’t all those distressed young people
on the Attawapiskat reserve who signed a
death pact have a “right” to summon the
nearest doctor to end their misery?
Ridiculous, you say.
Not really. Not if you’ve been following
the flak the Liberals are getting — not because it calls on doctors to deliberately end
lives rather than save them, but because,
to many, the so-called “assisted-death” bill
doesn’t go far enough.
The law, which is sure to pass, isn’t “doctor-assisted suicide.” Doctors won’t be assisting, they’ll be doing the actually killing.
Yes, yes, I know. The Liberals have no
choice. After all, the most politically active
Supreme Court in Canadian history is forcing them to act, a court which just a few
years ago came to the opposite conclusion
on this issue but, while the legal arguments
remained unchanged the ideological makeup of the court didn’t, and so these unelected gods have once again thumbed their collective nose at our elected representatives.
Mind you, the government could invoke
the notwithstanding clause and hold off the
court edict — and — here’s a wild thought
— could actually conduct a referendum to
see if people want the state killing off people. But, alas, it’s far easier to hide behind
the robes of the Supremes and do their bidding.
It is not all that surprising that a country
— Canada, that is — which boasts of being
alone in the democratic world in lacking a
single law restricting abortion, should now
be so readily prepared to demonstrate its
lack of respect for life by bringing in the
death bill. We’re okay, it seems, killing the
unborn and the infirm, but we go to the barricades to stop the state from killing murderers.
Anyway, giving sick people the needle is
a lot cheaper than investing in palliative
care, which is what a responsible society
would be doing instead.
In the Commons last week, responding to
attacks that the bill doesn’t go far enough,
Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould,
said there “will always be a diversity of
opinion about what is required to respond

decide what the public interest demands.”
Well, up to a point. Certainly they’re not
listening to the millions of Canadians who
are appalled at the very notion of a so-called
assisted-suicide bill.
People will say that the bill is needed because even if you don’t want to invoke its
measures, they have a “right to die with
dignity.”
You should let them in on a little secret:
they already have the right to die. If you
want to kill yourself, well, that’s a pity, but
there’s nothing stopping you.
This bill isn’t about your right to die. It’s
about a perceived “right” to make a doctor
kill you upon request. To be sure, some doctors will gladly oblige — regardless of the
oath they took to save lives — but others
won’t. To those, even the Supremes suggested they shouldn’t be forced to jab the needle
in your arm, but what the political response
to that is that well, yes, they shouldn’t have
to do it, but they must refer you to somebody who will. Kind of like refusing to rob
the bank but being forced to drive the getaway car instead. It’s still wrong.
Now, back to the kids at Attawapiskat.
You may recall that the all-party committee studying the proposals and reporting
back, actually suggested that among those
who should be eligible for state killing procedures are certain youths among us. No
doubt they would be horrified at the notion
that this may include those troubled native
kids on the reserve, but that’s what happens when you go beyond the high-sounding
rhetoric and apply it to real life situations.
And while the Liberals may pretend their
law is restrictive, if it’s like every similar
law around the world (and you can count on
it) it a)- won’t be that restrictive in practice,
and b)- will get less restrictive with each
passing year.
In Belgium, for example, there were strict
rules in the beginning, but now even kids
and people who are simply depressed or
are tired of life can have the state needle
administered.
Advocates point to Oregon’s law to argue
that not many people will take advantage of
it anyway — as if those that do don’t matter — but without telling you that Oregon’s
numbers are so low because the cause of
death is usually attributed to a specific ailment you had rather than to assisted suicide itself. It’s a fraud, but hey, it’s only life
we’re talking about.

Fines Ford provides vehicles for Heroes are Human tour
By Bill Rea
The Heroes are Human 2016 country-wide tour is ready to go, and it even has
the vehicles for the trip.
Fines Ford Lincoln in Bolton will be
supplying two vehicles for the two-month
tour. Representatives of the tour, as well
as representatives of first responders from
throughout the area, were one hand Monday at Fines to accept one of the two vehicles.
The tour is being run by the Tema Conter
Memorial Trust, a non-profit organization
providing peer and psychological support to
emergency services, public safety, military,
communications and correctional organizations who have to deal with the aftermath
of situations they encounter on the job, and
the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
that can result.
The trust was founded by King City resident Vince Savoia (formerly of Bolton), who
will be making the tour, starting this coming Monday (May 2).
He said the tour will start at St. John’s,
Newfoundland, then travel to British Columbia before heading back. The tour finale
is scheduled for July 22 in Vaughan.

So far this year, there have been 15 first
responders and five military members who
have died by suicide in Canada, and 81 in
the last two years. According to the Tour’s
website (www.heroestour.ca), it’s estimated
that eight per cent of Canadians have PTSD,
and that number is two to three times higher among people in the emergency services
sectors. The figures could be higher, but
some of these people are reluctant to seek
help because of the stigma attached.
Earlier this year, the Province introduced
legislation aimed at ensuring first responders, correctional and communications officers who have been diagnosed with an occupational stress injury will get help more
efficiently and effectively. Savoia said that
was good news, although he added it could
go farther to include people like doctors and
nurses.
“It’s a start,” he said. “It’s a start in the
right direction.”
Part of the aim of the tour is to build resiliency in those who are at risk of getting
PTSD. They are also going to be encouraging first responders to seek mental-health
check-ups annually, much the way everyone else is encouraged to see their doctor
every year.
Savoia said each stop on the tour will
have its own organization there setting up
events. There will be community events,
panel discussions and showings of a 30-minute version of a documentary entitle The
Other Side of the Hero, which he said will
be aired in September.
This is the second such tour that’s been
conducted. The first was in 2014.
Savoia said there’s been no decision on
whether there will be future tours.
“We’ll see how this one plays out,” he said.
The 2014 tour had some 6,000 people attend the various events, and Savoia said
the goal for this one is 12,000.
He also thanks Bob Fines of Fines Ford
Lincoln for his support of the tour.
“Bob has been a tremendous supporter of
the organization for many, many years,” he
said.

The bursary began as the LIFE Award
(Living In a Finer Environment) and transitioned to its current moniker following
the deaths of some long time members of
our club. We wanted to find a way to honour
all of our members who had since passed
on. As each of the departed members had
provided leadership in one form or another
to our club, it was decided to use the youth
leadership award as a vehicle to recognize
and assist young people who made things
happen in our community.
We post (on our website) and circulate application forms to organizations,
schools, churches in our community for
members of said groups to nominate
young leaders who have made significant
contributions. The youth are to be nominated by someone who can speak to their
contributions and leadership presence.
To be eligible, nominees must have
demonstrated leadership excellence, be
enrolled full-time in a graduating class in
a secondary school or post-secondary institution and be a resident of the Town of

Caledon Cougars mix it up on the courts at Ontario Cup
By Jake Courtepatte
The Ontario Cup rolls on throughout
April, and so do the Caledon Cougars in
establishing the organization as one of
the best in provincial basketball.
Both the U13 bantam and U14 major
bantam girls teams took to the court
last weekend, boasting top-five finishes
against the top teams in Ontario.
The U13 Cougars booked a trip to
Windsor as the eighth and final seed to
play in the top D1 division, playing the
underdog role throughout the tourna-
ment. Opening against the fourth-seeded Windsor Valiants, the Cougars
dropped a close one, followed early the
next day by a loss to the first overall
seed Transway White.
The tides turned for the Cougars from
there, playing the spoiler to the fifthranked Stoney Creek Storm in their
final round-robin game, winning in a
close one 46-42. The win booked a spot
in Sunday’s fifth place game, matching
up against Transway Red.

The local ball diamonds are starting to
see action as the North Dufferin Baseball
League season starts May 7.
At a recent league meeting, membership approved the 2016 26-game schedule for the 14 senior teams and an 18game schedule for the four-team junior
division.
New additions to the league include
two junior teams from Mansfield and
New Lowell, while Midland returns after
taking a year off. The Ivy Rangers are
the only team back from last season and
round out the division.
The senior division includes the Alliston Athletics, who competed at the junior level for the past three years, Aurora Jays, Barrie Angels, Bolton Dodgers,
Clearview Orioles, Creemore Barons,
Creemore Braves, Ivy Leafs, Lisle Astros, Mansfield Cubs, Midland Indians,
New Lowell Knights, Nobleton Cornhuskers and Orangeville Giants.
The Angus Black Sox folded this year
and are taking a one-year leave of absence.
Other events in the season are the
tournament hosted by Lisle over the
Victoria Day weekend, the New Lowell
tournament Civic Holiday weekend and
the annual league all-star game July 9,
hosted in Lisle by the Astros.
A complete game schedule is available
at www.ndbl.ca and is updated regularly with scores and standings throughout
the season.
Baseball looms for 18
North Dufferin teams
ry in their highest-scoring game of the
tournament, winning 47-37. It capped
off a number of accolades for the 201516 bantam squad, who earlier in the
season won silver in Newmarket’s IEM
Tournament, as well as a gold in their
home tournament the Caledon Cougars
Classic.
At the U14 level, the Cougars travelled to Brampton over the weekend to
take part in D1 of the major bantam Ontario Cup. When the dust settled, Caledon landed exactly as they entered the
tournament, the fourth-ranked team in
the province.
Wins over SBA-Nembhard and Timmins Basketball in the round robin had
the Cougars in good shape heading into
Saturday afternoon, but a loss in the
final round-robin match to Markham
Unionville sent Caledon to the bronze
medal game. There they fell short of
Sudbury Basketball for a fourth-place
finish.
Sanctioned by Ontario Basketball,
the Ontario Cup continues through to
the end of May, with the U15 and U16
girls taking to the hardcourt this coming weekend in North Bay and Ottawa
respectively.
More than 19,000 athletes and coaches from over 1,100 teams compete in the
tournament across Ontario.
The Cougars will participate in the
top division of the U16 tournament, entering as the number-one ranked contender.

Bolton Chiropractic Centre wins senior men’s hockey title
Bolton Chiropractic Centre completed a
double championship last Monday, even
though they lost the last game of the Caledon Senior Hockey League season.
The Chiropractors dropped a 3-1 decision
to Heart Lake Insurance, but thanks to a
4-2 win by Rutherford Global Logistics over
Yale Industrial Trucks, they won the playoff
crown with a 3-1-1 record in the round-robin.
The Bonebenders had already won the regular-season championship.
Yale was the only team with a chance to
knock off the Chiropractic crew, but needed
a win by a wide margin over Rutherford in
the final week of the season. Unfortunately
for Yale, Rutherford wore their skating booties in the last game and managed to overcome some confusion on line changes to bag
the win.
In the other game, Jiffy Lube Oilers got by
Fines Ford Lincoln with a 7-5 decision.
Rutherford 4, Yale 2
Rutherford blew a 2-0 first-period lead
when Yale tied the score with two goals in
the second, but managed to come back with
the winner and an empty-netter in the third.
Bret Smith scored the second of his two
goals for the winner for Rutherford. Gary
Hughes finished with a goal and an assist for
Rutherford, while David Shoalts claimed two
assists. Steve Tarasco had the empty-netter
with Maurizo Giorgio, Howard Wight and
Tony Calabro getting single assists.
Dan Tasson scored both Yale goals. Ron
Sampson set up both of them with Greg
Twinney and Robert Masutti earning single
helpers.
Heart Lake 3, Bolton Chiropractic 1
Jack Gibson and Victor Marrelli were the
big guns for Heart Lake with a goal and an

The Chiropractors were in the driver’s
seat heading into the final week.
They blitzed Fines Ford 12-2 April 11 to
run their record to 3-0-1 for seven points

shape for the title.
Yale tied Heart Lake 3-3 and to put them

In the other game, Jiffy Lube downed

Moose take title in Sunday
night men’s hockey league
It was fitting the two teams that battled for top spot in the regular season
faced each other for the championship in
the Sunday Night Junior Men’s Hockey
League.
The Mr. Handyman Moose and the
Inside Out Family Chiropractic Predators ended the season tied for first with
25 points. But when it all came down to
the finale Friday night, it was the Moose
that prevailed with a 4-1 final for the Callaghan Cup.
The Predators got out to a fast start
when just 45 seconds into the game Colin
Fyffe from Mike Andreoli found the back
of the net and took the early lead. The
Moose then re-grouped and Brad Sztorc
from Steve Brown tied it up just three
minutes later to leave the first knotted at
one.
Period 2 saw the teams come out fighting hard to get the go ahead goal. It wasn’t
until there were less than two minutes left
that Cam Coulter from Graham Bryson

shine for the Moose as he turned away all
comers and didn’t let anything rattle him,
while Brendan Pace salted the win away
with an empty netter to give the Moose
the cup.
