TImmY’s ToY DrIVE A suCCEss – On Tuesday, December 9th, Tim Hortons owners of Alliston, Tottenham and Angus
presented the cumulation of their annual Toy and Food Drive to representatives from the Children’s Aid Society (CAS). In
2014, this drive resulted in the collection of more than $1,500 in toys to help local children in need during the holidays. CAS
distributed the toys in Alliston; the Lions Club collected and distributed the toys in Angus; and the Tottenham Beeton Christmas
Cheer Basket Program collected and distributed toys and food in Tottenham and Beeton.
BY WENDY GABrEk
From the week of November 14th to December 14th,
local Tim Hortons restaurants in Alliston, Angus, and
Tottenham ran their annual
community toy drive to help
bring smiles to kids in the
community by delivering
toys to families in need.
Guests visiting these local restaurant locations were
asked to donate new, unwrapped toys and drop them
into the ‘Toy Drive’ bins in
each of the stores.
“At Tim Hortons, we believe that it is important to
give back to the communities where we live, work and
play,” said restaurant owner,
Anne Marie Cresswell. “Our
Toy Drive allows us to work
with our guests to help those
in need in our community.”
To kick-off last year’s
Toy Drive (2014) the New
Tecumseth and Angus Tim
Hortons purchased over
$1,500 worth of toys to help
start filling the bins.
The Children’s Aid Society in Alliston, Lions Club
of Angus and the Christmas
Cheer Basket initiative in
Tottenham also collected
and distributed toys to families in need over the course
of the Toy Drive just in time
for the holiday season.
Alzheimer Awareness month targets ‘The 72%’
Did you know that women
represent 72 per cent of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s disease? They could be
your mothers, wives, sisters,
grandmothers or friends –
even you.
The Alzheimer Society
is kicking off Alzheimer
Awareness Month with a
nationwide campaign called
The 72%. It aims to inform
women in their 40’s and older about the warning signs of
Alzheimer’s disease, brain
health and how the Alzheimer Society can help.
Women live longer than
men and age is a significant risk factor. That’s why
there are more women living with Alzheimer’s disease
than men. Yet the impact
on women is twofold. They
also account for 70 per cent
of family caregivers, which
takes a tremendous toll on
these women who eventually provide round-the-clock
care. The burden is especial-
ly high for women raising
families and holding down
jobs.
“With this campaign,
we’re making Alzheimer’s
disease a women’s issue,”
said Debbie Islam, CEO, Alzheimer Society of Simcoe
County.
Warning signs, often misunderstood or ignored, are
critical. In absence of a cure,
early diagnosis allows for
treatment and support so
people can live as well as
possible and start planning
for their future needs.
“Women
traditionally
monitor the health of their
families so it’s even more
important they understand
this disease to be able to recognize changes in those they
care for,” adds Islam.
Starting January 6, the Alzheimer Society invites all
Canadians, including women, to visit www.alzheimer.
ca/the72percent to take a
moment and learn the warning signs and share them
with friends and families on
Facebook and Twitter. They
can also read the stories of
others living with Alzheimer’s disease and post their
own experiences. Visitors
will also be able to find their
local Alzheimer Society.
Tottenham Community Centre, 139 Queen Street North,
Saturday January 10th from 9 a.m. to noon. Book your
appointment online at www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2-DONATE (366283).

Paramedic Toy Drive another huge success
The 12th annual County of
Simcoe Paramedic Services
Toy Drive has wrapped up
with a total 5,410 toys, 1,935
lbs of food, and $14,294.13
in monetary and gift card

PUT THAT CHRISTMAS CHEER IN A BASKET – On Saturday, December 20th, 2014, 133 Christmas Cheer Baskets were distributed from the Tottenham
Community Centre by members of the Tottenham and Beeton Christmas Basket Committee. The Committee was made up of representatives from the Tottenham Legion, Beeton Legion, Tottenham Fire Fighters Association, Beeton Fire Fighters Association, Adjala Fire Fighters Association (Loretto), Tottenham
Lions Club Inc. and the Our Town Foodbank. Local churches, business, schools, teams, youth groups and individuals also took part. “Without all the local help
our endeavours would not be possible,” said organizer Pauline Apperly. Each Christmas Cheer Basket contained a chicken (for single people) or a turkey, plus
most of the fixings and vegetables to make Christmas dinner with leftovers. There were also other food items in the basket to help with other meals over the
holiday season. Age appropriate toys and gifts were also given for children 16 and under. Many people passed on their Foodland Turkey Bucks to help defray
the cost of the turkeys and chicken. Monetary donations from local churches, businesses, committee groups, service clubs and individuals also helped pay for
turkeys, food and toys. “A big thank you goes out to all who helped in any way,” added Apperly.

It’s 2015 already. Where
did the time go...
In putting together the
centre spread for the paper
this week, I went through
every edition of The Times
published in 2014. I couldn’t
believe what a big year it
was for news in New Tecumseth and how many different events we covered.
From the tornadoes, to the
elections, 2014 was filled
with epic headlines. For a
year that seemed to pass by
so quickly, we sure went
through a lot.
2014 was a year that will
be remembered. It brought
us a new council, new way
finding signage, a new home
for our seniors, the hospice
and the women’s shelter. It
brought a fury of winds (yes,
I am referring to both the
tornado and the election) and
with that wind came change.
It pulled us apart, and
pushed us together. Before
the new developments go
in and a whole crew of new
folks arrive on the scene, I
believe 2014 was meant to
be a bonding year. The glue,
if you will, to secure the inner core of this community.
Right now I am compelled
to think about the people I
represent in the Shelburne
community. As the editor
of the Shelburne Free Press,
I have seen a lot of disconnection between the residents who have “been there
forever” and the city people
who are looking for cheaper
housing north of Hwy. 9. In
that community, the residents experienced a literal
burst in population, and a
similar burst is headed our
way.
Whether you like the
amount of cheque presentations photographed for the
paper each week, or the articles on what seems like
an endless stream of volunteers planning the next big
fundraiser, this is the news
in New Tecumseth. That’s
what matters to The Times,
at least. We leave the scandals and the flyers for the
other media outlets. A community that knows no end to
its generosity; no end to the
lengths it will go to help the
fallen amongst us; no end
to the amount of bitching
it takes to get things done.
This is your community and
thus, that is your community
newspaper.
Having been the editor of
The Times for many years
now, I have attended what
seems like billions of events.
Each one of those events
fits neatly into three basic
categories: a fundraiser; a
ribbon cutting; a cheque
presentation. What does this
tell you? It tells me that we

Closing of Sophie’s Sweets
Café and Cake Shoppe
Dear editor:
On December 23rd, 2014
at 5 p.m., Sophie’s Sweets
Café and Cake Shoppe
closed their doors. This letter is intended to let everyone know in the community
who have supported us, the
impact they have had on our
business, our lives and to
thank all of you! The past
three years have been amazing for Carlos and me. I
never thought that owning a
business would have brought
so much self-gratification
and a sense of accomplishment. I have truly enjoyed
creating cakes and sweets
for everyone’s special occasions. I have also made so
many friendships along the
way. I was overwhelmed that
we received three awards
in the past three years. In
such a short period of time,
Carlos, with his marketing
skills, talent and dedication,
brought us to over 1150 likes
on Facebook and wonderfully marketed our business. My most gratifying
experience has been the ability to sponsor so many great
causes here in Alliston and
the surrounding towns such
as Relay for Life, My Sister’s Place, Autism support
group, CLASS, Matthews
House, and many more.
Shopping local has become our number one priority as we have understood
how important it is for a
small community. As you
all know, we supported local businesses such as Alliston Creamery and Sheldon
Creek Dairy by using their
product in our baked goods!
Always shop local and
help your local businesses
stay in business! Thank you
again for all your support
over the past three years!!

The long–form census
Dear editor:
Eliminating the long form
census was a costly mistake
and it’s high time Parliament
fix it and restore it by passing
Bill C-626.
In 2011, Stephen Harper
replaced the traditional long
form census with a voluntary
survey that cost taxpayers
more—$22 million more—
and produced inferior data.
Its numbers were unusable
for 25% of our towns and
weren’t comparable to past
surveys.
Worse still, groups like
rural residents, the poor and
youth were undercounted because of low response rates.
That bias not only compromised the census, but it damaged other surveys which
rely on census data to correct
their sampling.
These errors make it harder
for businesses to understand
markets, governments to deliver services and researchers
to get facts.
The census is used to design better public transit
through its data on commuting patterns. It helps determine where religious groups,
minorities and immigrants
live, which tells us what services and businesses could
succeed in their neighbourhood. It is the only source of
data on small communities’
skill needs and labour shortages.
Groups like the Canadian
Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Federation of Independent Business and the Canadian Medical Association
have been calling for a fix.
That’s why I proposed
C–626 to restore the long
form census. It would save
money and produce better data for everyone. This
bill also ensures the census
produces quality data that is
comparable over time, and
empowers the Chief Statistician to protect the integrity
of the survey design and data
collection process.
Canadians need the basic
data that is essential to good
planning. I hope Members of
Parliament will vote to pass
C-626 this winter so that we
can stop paying more for less.

Tottenham. The honour roll student is enjoying the new freedom the Honda minivan brings
to his family and will be in attendance at the event. Tickets go on sale shortly and are $10 for

Hornets split back to
back games with Stayner
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Hornets won one and lost one in back to back games
with the second place Stayner Siskins over the past week.
On December 28, the Alliston squad travelled to Stayner.
After a scoreless first period, the Hornets blew the game
wide open with four unanswered goals in the second period.
Returning for the final 20 minutes, the Alliston squad
were relentless notching four more while shutting down
the Stayner attack to leave the ice with an 8–0 win and two
more points for their season total.
The return for game two of the mini-series on January 2,
on Alliston home ice was a different story when the Hornets had to settle for a 3–1 loss.
“Missed opportunities.” Is how Hornets head coach Clay
Birkett described the game.
Indeed the Hornets had plenty of opportunities but just
couldn’t find the back of the Stayner net.
“It could have been 10–2 tonight. We were all over them,”
Birkett said. “We hit four posts, two crossbars, we had two
goals called back, and we missed four break-aways. Last
week in Stayner we out-shot them 40–15.”
The Hornets also had to shuffle the line-up for Friday
night’s game after three key players came down with the
flu.
Two Hornets goals were also called off amid controversy.
One early in the first period and another in the second period – both times the referees saying they weren’t in position
to see the goal, although there was a lot of disagreement
from the crowd – especially on the second goal when the
puck clearly hit the Stayner goalie and popped up over his
shoulder and into the net.
The Siskins opened the scoring with two goals in the first
period and a third in the second frame.
The only Hornets goal came from Nic Archibald on a
powerplay in the third period.
After the weekend, the Hornets still maintain their first
place in the Georgian Mid Ontario League standings with
53 points – seven points ahead of Stayner and 12 points
behind the third place Huntsville Otters.
The Hornets will be back on home ice this Friday, January 9, to host the Caledon Golden Hawks.
The puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The Alliston Junior C Hornets host the Stayner Siskins at
the New Tecumseth Recreation Complex on Friday, January 2. The Hornets blanked the Siskins 8–0 the previous
week but came up short in their home game taking a 3–1
loss.

Steam slam Cambridge in third period
PHOTOS BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Tottenham Steam host the Cambridge Bears at the Tottenham Community Centre arena on Monday (Jan. 5) night. The
Steam left with a 9–3 win after scoring six unanswered goals in the third period.
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Tottenham Steam
showed why they are they
number one team in the
League during Monday
night’s game against the
Cambridge Bears.
After playing to a 3–3 tie
at the end of the second period, the Steam returned for
the final frame and scored
six times to end the game
9–3.
It was a good effort by the
Cambridge squad to topple
the top team in the League,
but the Steam turned it up a
notch in the final 20 minutes
to take control.
The Steam were leading
3–0 at just over five minutes into the first period on
goals from Igor Gostev, Ferdinando Colella, and Braden
Kavaratzis.
The Bears scored late in
the first period.
The second frame saw no
scoring from the Steam but
the Bears managed to notch
a couple that tied the game
at three.
Returning for the final 20
minutes, the Steam let loose
to take control of the game
scoring six unanswered
goals for the win.
Steam goals came from
Liam Sweeney, Coler Serson,
Dalton Anderson,
Valery Ledovsky, and a pair
from Braden Kavaratzis.
The win was number 27
for the Steam who continue
to lead the GMHL with 54
points.
The Toronto Attack is
challenging with 54 points
to date, but they have played
33 games – four more than
the Steam – and picked up a
couple of points with overtime losses.
In the North Division the
Seguin Huskies are maintaining their first place spot
with 50 points and a 25–5
record.
The Steam will travel up
the road to Alliston tonight
(Jan. 8) to take on the Coyotes at the New Tecumseth
Recreation Centre.
They return to home ice in
Tottenham on Saturday, January 17, to host the Niagara
Whalers. Game time is 7:30
p.m.

Health Unit declares flu outbreak
Stevenson Memorial Hospital is stepping up efforts
to contain spread of the flu
virus in response to the Simcoe Muskoka District Health
Unit (SMDHU) declaration
of community wide influ-
enza activity.
In addition to hand hygiene stations at hospital
entrances, surgical masks
are available and we will
continue the current practice
of screening all patients and
visitors upon arrival at the
hospital. Screeners will now
ask everyone their flu vaccine status. Anyone coming
into the hospital who hasn’t
received the flu shot a minimum of two weeks earlier,
will be asked to wear a surgical mask while on hospital
property. Patients, visitors
and staff are also strongly
encouraged to clean their
hands before entering the
facility, and before and after
entering a patient room.
All staff has been encouraged to receive the influenza
vaccine and more than 59
percent have been vaccinated. However, staff that
are not vaccinated will now
be required to wear surgical
masks at all times while the
Health Unit’s declaration remains in effect.
It has been determined that
the influenza vaccine is not
optimally matched to one
of the influenza strains this
year which may result in reduced vaccine effectiveness
against the virus. However,
the vaccine can still provide
some protection against influenza-like illness from the
mismatched strain and can
offer protection against other influenza strains included
in the vaccine.
Our focus is to protect
staff, physicians and volunteers safe and healthy and
to ensure influenza doesn’t
spread from patient to patient, which could potentially lead to the declaration
of an outbreak within the
hospital.
Anyone with flu-like
symptoms who doesn’t require the services of the hospital is strongly encouraged
to stay home.
The Ministry of Health
and Long-Term Care has developed the ‘Get a Flu Shot’
website for more information on flu facts and flu shot
safety. The website can be
accessed at www.ontario.ca/
flu
If you haven’t received
your flu vaccination, it is
available at health care practitioner offices, pharmacies
and through the SimcoeMuskoka Public Health unit.
A musical treat is coming
to New Tecumseth
PhOTO bY WEnDY GabREk
DOG baSkET WInnERS – Sabrina Mazzocchi and her dogs, Terra and Conan, were the
winners of the 2014 Christmas Dog Basket at the Tottenham Animal Clinic. The basket was
presented to Sabrina and her 8 month old daughter Alessandra before Christmas by Veterinarian Dr. Corradini at the clinic on Mill Street. The dogs, both Shepherd/Husky and King
Shepherd crosses (and brother and sister) were excited about the contents and were sniffing
the basket and wagging their tails in appreciation. Tottenham Animal Clinic gave away a cat
basket full of goodies as well.
Are you ready for a musical treat? Coming to New Tecumseth in April is the Waterloo Regional Police Male Chorus. This is a
group that is in high demand and has earned a
reputation for quality performances and top
notch entertainment. This 56 member group
formed in 1973 has performed throughout
Canada, the United States, Britain and Europe. They perform an average of 25 events
per year. The music they perform includes
traditional spiritual, operatic, hymns and sacred music to Canadian folk songs, pop standards and more.
The chorus is made up of all volunteers
and is a non-profit organization. It has received letters of commendation from Queen
Elizabeth and former President Ronald Regan for concerts and fundraising in their re-
spective countries. They perform regularly
on Parliament Hill for the annual National
Police Memorial Service and the annual Ontario Police Memorial Dedication Service at
Queens Park in Toronto.
Where and when can you hear this fabulous chorus? The chorus will be performing
at the Tottenham Community Centre on Saturday, April 18, 2015. The concert is starts
at 7 p.m. and is hosted by the Beeton Trinity
United Church. Tickets are $15 and are now
on sale and would make great Christmas
stocking stuffers. Tickets are available by
calling 905 729-0987 or at Hava Java Coffee
Shop in Beeton and Nescenti’s in Tottenham.
The evening will also include a silent auction and bidding will start at 6 p.m. on items
donated by local businesses.

Top 10 tips to achieve your goals in the New Year
Are you planning a healthier new
you this year? With the high percentage of New Year’s resolutions
incorporating health and fitness
goals, Bodies By Amy, an innovative strength and endurance training studio in Angus, Ontario, has
released a list of tips to keep you
on track.
1. Make a Commitment. While
you may think that setting a goal in
the New Year is enough of a commitment, New Year’s resolutions
are likely to fail. Why? Because
they are often treated as a shortterm goal with no accountability.
Be accountable to yourself and
plan for the long-term. If you plan
to join a new gym, consider joining
for one year rather than three-six
months. This will be an extra “motivation” to keep you committed
and will allow you to set a goal for
personal transformation rather than
a personal resolution.
2. Set Realistic Goals. Your goals
need to be attainable and measurable. Start by setting small goals
such as going to the gym three
times per week. This type of goal
is easy to attain, and more importantly, you can easily keep track of
your progress. Set specific goals
like improved strength, cardio endurance or weightloss over a longer period of time. Give January
a break and commit to achieving
your goals within six months or
one year.
3. Deviate from Tradition. It’s
very tempting to stick with traditional training styles for fitness
such as hitting the treadmill or lifting free weights. While this type
of training is better than sitting on
the couch, it won’t give you a well
rounded workout. Training styles
such as HIIT, TRX, Bootcamp
and Kangoo incorporate both cardio and muscular endurance, not
only providing a comprehensive
workout that will bring you closer
to your goals, but also improving
overall heart health and stamina.
4. Make Small Changes. Small
changes can have a huge impact
on your overall health. Cutting
out pop and junk, or adding walking for 30 minutes into your daily
routine, are easy lifestyle changes
that will help you reach your health
goals. Everything in moderation is
a great rule to follow, especially
when you’re getting started on a
new goal. It will be more difficult
to stick to a new diet if you’ve cut
out all of your favourite foods.
Likewise, going to the gym six
days per week will be much more
difficult that incorporating twothree new workouts per week.
5. Make Exercise Fun. Exercise
can be fun! Try bringing a friend
or your significant other to the gym
with you. Most fitness studios have
great referral programs – not only
will you be able to enjoy the next
group training session with your
friend, but you will also benefit
from a free month or even year of
membership, depending on your
gym’s referral program!
6. Be Accountable. While setting
realistic goals and commitment for
a long period of time will definitely
help you stick to your transformation goals, there are many different
programs you can join in the New
Year to help you stay accountable.
The February Healthy Heart Challenge at Bodies By Amy is a great
example. Being in a group setting
will help you stay accountable to
your goals, motivated to continue,
and give you a place to celebrate
your success. If joining a fitness
challenge isn’t for you, consider
sharing your goals with a partner
who will help you stay on track.
7. Write it down. Keep a daily or
weekly journal detailing your progress. This journal can be as detailed
as you would like – from food to
exercise plans and goal setting.

10. Reward Yourself. Committing to a healthier lifestyle is a reward in itself, but celebrating your

that will help keep you moving forward when you feel like giving up.

Chewing tobacco: smokeless doesn’t mean harmless
By Dr. Lisa simon
When it comes to tobacco, smokeless doesn’t
mean harmless. That’s the
message of Know What’s
In Your Mouth (knowwhatsinyourmouth.ca),
a
youth-developed campaign
highlighting the dangers
of using smokeless tobacco. Going by names like
“chew”, “spit”, “dip”, and
“snuff”, most types are held
in the mouth for prolonged
periods of time. Since the
juices that form aren’t meant
to be swallowed, the user
must spit frequently as saliva collects.
For parents, coaches, and
educators, it can be a surprise to learn that smokeless
tobacco use is a growing
trend among youth. According to the most recent data
(2011-2013) from the Ontario Student Drug Use and
Health Survey, approximately 1 in 10 youth in Simcoe
Muskoka use chewing tobacco.
There are several reasons
youth are choosing to use
chew tobacco. Products are
available in flavours that
appeal to young consumers,
like cherry, grape and vanilla. The packaging can be
very similar to candy, gum,
makeup and highlighters,
which are intentional strategies by the tobacco industry
to make it harder for youth
to recognize these as dan-
gerous tobacco products. It
is also a tobacco company
strategy, following the ban
of smoking in public places,
to promote and sell smokeless products that can be
used in these settings.
There is also a mistaken
belief that chew tobacco is
less harmful than smoking
cigarettes. The truth is that
even though it is not inhaled
it directly into the lungs, it
is held in the mouth, which
can cause mouth, throat, and
stomach cancers in as little
as five years of use. Another
myth is that chewing tobacco
will enhance athletic performance. However, chewing
tobacco can actually result
in increased blood pressure
and is counterproductive to
better sports performance.
Clues that indicate chew
tobacco is being used are: a
visible lump along the lower
jaw where the plug or dip is
held against the gum, bad
breath, yellowed teeth, or
carrying a receptacle like a
pop can for spitting. A campaign toolkit is available
and has been shared with
coaches and educators as
well as community leaders
and youth, offering easy and
fun ways for youth to take
ownership of the message
and make it their own.
For more information
about chew tobacco visit
knowwhatsinyourmouth.ca,
and for information about
other tobacco programs offered by the health unit,
call Health Connection at
705-721-7520 or 1-877-721-

LoCaL Businesses suPPort the LoCaL fooD Bank – Local businesses in Tottenham and Beeton collected nonperishable food items and money for the Our Town Food Bank during the two Santa Claus parades hosted by the Beeton–Tottenham Business Improvement Association (BTBIA). They did so in order to give back to the community during the holiday
season. Fundraising efforts included: Cedar Kitchen, represented here by Sherri and Danielle, held a bake sale by donation;
JAK Fund, represented here by George and Martina Keogh, collected money and non-perishable food items during all three
local parades, along side Keogh Construction float; Firehouse Pizza, owned by Jason Bowers, donated all money from pizza
slices sold at the Festival of Lights in Tottenham; Cremahh, owned by Sabina Morell (absent from photo) donated hot chocolate and coffee for chilly parade goers after the Beeton event and gifted the contents of the collection jar to the food bank. Pat
and Ben Bergin from the Our Town Foodbank accepted all of the donations just in time to help local families last Christmas.
