hornets claim GMohL championship
By Brian Lockhart
The Alliston Junior C Hornets
are once again the Georgian Mid
Ontario Junior C Hockey League
champions.
The team claimed the title in
Schomberg on Monday (Mar. 9)
night with a 3–2 win in game four
of the series to make it a clean
sweep in the final round.
After finishing the regular season in first place, the Hornets dispatched the Fergus Devils in four
games during the quarter-final
round of the playoffs.
They went on to eliminate the
Orillia Terriers 4–1 in the semifinal before meeting up with the
Schomberg Cougars in the championship round.
This is the eighth consecutive
year the Hornets have gone to the
GMOHL championship and they
have won in seven of those years.
Their only loss came last season to
the Penetang Kings.
After winning the first three
games of the final series, the Hornets returned to Schomberg for
game four and brought a huge contingent of Alliston fans with them
who made the trek to support the
squad in their bid for the title.
The Cougars played their best
game of the series in an attempt to
get back into the battle scoring at
7:11 into the third period to make it
a 2–2 game.
But a pass from Jacob Tuck to
Nick Arcan out in front and a shot
to the top gave the Hornets a one
goal lead with just over 11 minutes
left on the clock.
The Alliston squad pressed hard
then killed the last couple of minutes keeping the puck out of their
zone to take the win.
“It’s fantastic. It hurt last year
when we lost to Penetang in the
finals and we vowed this year we
wanted to come back and get the
League title,” said Hornets head
coach Clay Birkett after Monday’s
win. “We’ve been going for this
for 178 days since game one of the
season - which was in Schomberg

so it’s pretty fitting that we end the
season here. Schomberg played
well tonight, we just kept countering everything they did and they finally broke down and we got a turn
over and got the winning goal.”

the investment will support facility upgrades and specialized
equipment.
“Our company is excited
by the opportunity to build on
our 60 years of manufacturing
heritage with our first location in Canada. As we develop

By Wendy GaBRek
Howa Canada is partnering
with the province to create a
new auto parts plant in Alliston. The initiative will create
40 new jobs and add to the local
economy.
Over $1,000,000 in support
was provided to the project
from the Southwestern Ontario
Development Fund. The funds
will be used by Howa Canada to
establish a new state-of-the-art
manufacturing facility to supply
interior trim components for the
2016 Civic built at the Honda
assembly plant – located just
Howa Canada Manufacturing
Inc.
“We’re delighted to welcome Howa Canada as the latest addition to Ontario’s world
renowned auto sector,” said —
Brad Duguid, Minister of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure. “(Last
week’s) announcement underscores the value of our comprehensive approach to partnering
with the auto industry, with a
strong focus on quality and innovation, as we work to secure
new investments and product
mandates. Our strategy is secur-
ing significant investment and
new jobs for Ontario’s economy, with over 400 jobs at Ford,
the General Motors investment
in Ingersoll, and the Honda investment in Alliston.”
Howa Textile Industry Co.
has operations in Asia and the
U.S. and this is the company’s
first manufacturing facility in
Canada.
In related news, Ontario recently partnered with Honda of
Canada Manufacturing in Alliston to secure an $857 million
investment in the company’s assembly operations.
“Modelled on the proven
Eastern Ontario Development
Fund, the Southwestern Ontario
Development Fund is helping to create jobs and diversify
the economy by encouraging
regional businesses to pursue
innovation and new markets.
Together, these two funds have
created and retained more than
29,000 jobs and attracted more
than $1.25 billion in investment,” reads a press release
from the province.
“Attracting new investment
to Ontario’s key industry clusters is part of the government’s
economic plan for the province.

The details of an April hearing on the future of Beeton
Woods forest was on the agenda for Simcoe County council
Tuesday afternoon.
Council meet with its lawyer, Marshall Green, to discuss
the process which will see the
county make a final decision on
the future of the forested parcel
A stop work order was placed
on the cutting of the trees on 35
acres located north of Beeton
at 6386 and 6216 9th Line last
week.
The owner of the property
will be allowed to appeal the
stop work order process. The
hearing process will be similar
to a court hearing or an Ontario
Municipal Board hearing. County council will hear from the
owner of the property as well as
those opposed to cutting of the
trees.
Those who wish to make a
deputation will be asked to give
notice to Simcoe County clerk
seven days before the hearing
and asked to submit an outline
of their concerns. Details on the
hearing and the submission process will be posted in the near
future on the county web site
simcoe.ca
The process will be open to
anyone in Ontario who wishes
to submit though the county will
exercise some discretion in the
number of presentations.
“A thousand people each
making a presentation isn’t possible,” said Green.
In answer to a question from
Bradford West Gwillimbury
deputy mayor James LeDuc,
Marshall Green said that the
county has notified any adjacent
landowners who were not notified of the original application
to cut the trees which we legally
required.
More information on the date
and time of the hearing will be
coming at Simcoe County council’s next meeting.
The TIMES – March 12, 2015 – Page 3
a tale of two babies, two sisters, and a one hour difference
Jessica (left) with baby Shay and Amie with baby Quinton
By Wendy GaBrek
Sisters Amie Isaac (nee
Doyle) and Jessica Brown
(nee Doyle) gave birth to baby
boys on the same day, at the
same hospital, with the same
doctor and nurses just one
hour apart on February 8th,
2015.
The coincidence was nothing short of a miracle.
Born at Southlake Regional
Healthcare Centre in Newmarket, nurses commented that
they had never seen anything
like this in their careers – and
staff members came flocking
to meet the happy, healthy babies and their proud mothers.
Amie’s baby, Quinton, came
first, and Jessica delivered her
son, Shay, just over an hour
later.
This may seem unbelievable, but according to Amie,
the pair have been fighting
for the spotlight most of their
lives.
“We got engaged a month
apart, we got married in the
same year and we announced
our pregnancies in the same
week,” said older sister Aime.
“I feel like I’m always stealing
Jessica’s thunder!”
The pregnancies were not
coordinated. Jessica called
her sister to share the good
news, and Amie said she had
planned on taking a pregnancy
Photo By Wendy GaBrek
test later in the week – which,
of course, was positive.
Although Aime hails from
Stoufville (although both girls
grew up in Tottenham) and
Jessica now resides in Alliston, both sisters chose the
same OBGYN, Dr. Watt, in
Newmarket.
As this story goes, their prenatal appointments were usually booked on the same day
– another coincidence – and
they would often meet each
other at the entrance of the
clinic and just chuckle.
On February 7th, Jessica’s
water broke at 7 p.m. at home.
She and her husband Adrian
raced to Southlake, with her
parents, Karen and Michael
Doyle not far behind. Although Amie wasn’t due until February 12th, she started
labour contractions early and
headed to Newmarket as well.
Everyone was totally surprised to see Amie when she
arrived at the hospital with
her husband Michael and their
daughter Caroline.
“I was sitting in the waiting room with Jessica’s inlaws when Amie came in,”
said Karen Doyle, the girls’
mother. “I was surprised to see
Amie coming down the hall,
but it figures.”
Jessica’s labour moved
slowly, and she had hoped to
deliver first, however once
Amie’s water was broken,
Jessica was told she’d have to
wait for her C–section. “Hang
tight,” the doctor said, “I have
another delivery in the next
birthing room and then I’ll be
back to deliver your baby”.
Sure enough, it was Amie’s
baby he delivered first, at 9:41
a.m. – another competition
won in this sister act.
“I just went back and forth
between the two rooms,” Karen Doyle told The Times on
the big day. “It was great for
me! Then, I heard a baby cry
and I knew Amie’s baby had
arrived. It was a thrilling moment for all of us.”
“I told her she better not go
first,” said Jessica. “But of
course she did!”
At 10:45 a.m. Sunday, Jessica’s baby was born by C–
section. Happy and healthy
and right on time to meet his
new cousin, born just an hour
earlier, in the hospital room
next door.
There’s more coincidences
here though...
Amie and Michael met at
Southlake originally, he is a
Child Youth Crisis Worker
and she is a nurse.
And, Jessica met her husband, Adrian, a chef, right after high school. She works as
an event coordinator, and the
pair now work together for the
same company!
On how this affects the family, proud grandmother Karen
had this to say, “This is great
for me. The birthday parties
for these babies are going to
be hilarious. I can’t wait.”
Despite the competition,
these sisters are best friends,
and were even each other’s
maids-of-honour at their respective weddings.
“We truly are sisters who do
everything together!” Jessica
joked.
These are not the first grandchildren in the family. Amie
and Jessica’s sister Julie and
her husband Bill have twins
Brady and Abigail and younger brother Evan. Their brother
Steven, and his wife Kim,
have little Max and Ayla.
With eight grandchildren
now in the family, this Christmas is sure to be the best ever
at the Doyle household in
Tottenham. Congratulations
Amie and Jessica. Well Done!

Chandra Pepper gets into gear for her upcoming improv show
at the Gibson Centre.
By Wendy GaBrek
An amazing ensemble of
talented
actor/comedians
will be performing at the
Gibson Centre for Arts &
Culture this Friday night.
4 Corners Improv, featuring Herbie Barnes, Chandra
Pepper, Marjie Chud and
James Cole, is back for a
night of fun and laughs that
you won’t want to miss,
By alIson kerr, Ph.d.
Question: My 15-year-old
son has always been a good
kid but lately I’ve been smelling alcohol on his breath on
the weekends and after he’s
been to a friend’s after school.
When I asked him about it, he
says that some of his friends’
dads offer him beer whenever
he visits. He says it’s ok because it’s “only” beer and if
other parents are ok with it,
why can’t we be? We don’t
let him drink at home. Am I
just being too uptight?
Answer: Leaving aside the
fact that it’s illegal in Ontario
to serve alcohol to anyone
under 19, both parents and
kids need to learn about the
particular harms that alcohol
can do to developing young
brains. Adolescents who start
drinking at 15 are four times
more likely to abuse alcohol
as adults than kids who start
drinking later.
The latest neuroscience
research is showing that the
brain is not finished developing until somewhere between
the ages of 24 and 26. During the adolescent years, the
prefrontal cortex (or thinking
part of the brain) is developing rapidly and catching up
with the more emotional parts
of the brain that are responsible for memory, feelings
and impulsiveness among
other things. Consequently,
adolescents are prone to be
risk-takers and experimenters
while often displaying a lack
of judgment or foresight about
the potential long-term conse-
and they invite you to join
them for this interactive and
unique experience.
Recently, I met with Chandra Pepper to get her to dish
on the difference between
improv and stand up comedy.
“Improv, or improvisation,
is the art of creating on the
spot. We have no agenda.
Comedy just happens,” she
said.
Friday’s show, in the
style of “Whose Line is it
Anyways?”, is filled with
2-3 minute long snippets,
packed into two, 45 minute
acts. It happens fast, and the
approach to this style of humour is furious.
“We call it ‘Slaying the
Dragon’,” Pepper told The
Times. “That means we just
go for it. Anything – and
everything! – can, and does
happen.”
On bringing her ‘A Game’
to the stage each night, Pepper had this to say, “You
can’t be afraid to fail – even
when your brain is like a
fried egg.”
The foursome cannot prepare, they can only bring a
list of “games” to play with
the audience.
“We are their puppets,
essentially,” joked Pepper
joked. “To prove that we’re

Farmers
Simcoe-Grey MPP Jim Wilson spoke in the Legislature
Wednesday, March 4th in support of Bill 40, the Agriculture Insurance Act, which, if
passed, would allow for the
creation of a livestock insurance program.
“It’s about time the Government step up and be there for
our farmers when they need
us most,” said Wilson. “No
matter how good a farmer is at
their job, there will always be
circumstances outside of their
control...be it natural disasters, wild animals, or natural
causes.”
Livestock insurance would
allow farmers to receive financial compensation in the event
of the unexpected death of
their animals. Although Wilson expressed support for the
Bill, he did urge the Minister
to open the program to a variety of commodities and implement the program quickly.
“Not only does the Minister control the timing of
these programs, he also controls which commodities will
be eligible,” said Wilson. “I
would encourage the Minister
to make sure that he does not
pick and choose only a few
commodities.”
“If you have livestock you
have dead stock,” said Wilson. “The government should
be there to help when these
unfortunate circumstances occur.”
quences of their behaviours.
Alcohol not only causes
adolescent judgment to go
off-line during consumption
but it has been shown to delay and in some cases to irrevocably harm the developing
brain of the young. Bingedrinking (more than 5 drinks
at a sitting) and blackouts are
especially damaging to teen
brains.
For more information on the
effects of alcohol and other
substances on the developing
brain, see The Teenage Brain:

Guide to Raising adolescents
and Young Adults by Frances
M. Jensen, M.D. (2015) or the

really coming up with this
stuff in the moment, we
leave a lot of the decision
making to the audience.”
4 Corners performers
also have to know when the
joke’s over.
“Some segments are really short. You have to know
when to call it,” Pepper said
on the art of improv. “The
best example I can give for
that is this: Picture someone on stage standing alone.
His arms are raised and he’s
shaking them furiously. This
could be anything, right? I
walk on stage and say, ‘How
many times have I told you
not to shake the baby!’ and
then exit stage left. The
joke’s over. It’s brilliant, but
it’s over quick.”
Improv can also be emotional in other ways than being humorous.
“There was a dying scene
I saw once, where the actor literally died on stage
because he was told he was
getting dumber and dumber
until his body was just too
dumb to function. The actor
did a really good job of it,
and it was really very sad,”
said Pepper.
On the “in the moment
pressure”, Pepper said, “In
improv you don’t always get
to be the star of a scene. The
cast is always ready to step
in and step up to help each
other out.”
Pepper also disclosed that
good improv also has to
have a lot of action.
“You can’t just be standing there telling jokes like
a talking head – that’s more
like stand up.”
Improv also involves audience participation.
“If your phone rings during our performance, you
can bet that we’re answering it,” Pepper said (and I
laughed).
(P.S. – It’s my husband,
Craig’s, 39th birthday this
Friday and I’ve already
booked 4 tickets to the show.
And yes, they do know it’s
his big day...bahahahaha!)
And finally, good improv
doesn’t need “blue humour”
to be funny.
“Our show has a 13+ rating for a reason. Sometimes
an F–bomb gets dropped, but
we don’t rely on penis jokes
for laughs,” Pepper said.
“I love improv because it’s
a way to have fun and learn
and grow, and a family of
improvisers is such a giving
group because you have to
accept everything that’s happening. No one person is in
control. And typically, that’s
the way we become in real
life, too,” she said.

The TIMES – March 12, 2015 – Page 5
Regarding Tecumseth Estates...
Dear editor:
I wish to raise several issues for your consideration
with respect to the Special
Permit for tree clearing issued to Maria Rizzardo (Tecumseth Estates).
The subject property abuts
the urban Boundary of Beeton. A recent article about
the tree cutting in our local
online newspaper Madhunt,
notes “The Tecumseth Estates property was excluded
from the Beeton Secondary
Plan (BSP) in 2005, and a
subsequent appeal to the
OMB was abandoned by the
Rizzardo’s in 2007. The long
term goal was approximately
900 new homes. Previous to
that the site was the preferred
supply of the fill required
for their subdivision in Alliston.”.
Our Municipality though
the Tree Preservation and
Compensation By-law 2008123 requires payment for
trees removed for development. For example the Ballymore development in New
Tecumseth I believe compensated the town $102,594
for the trees removed to allow for their development.
So I am troubled that this
property came before County
Councillors as simply a request “to expand an existing
agricultural area” and that
the background information
in the staff report centered
solely around what has taken
place since January 2012
when a ‘stop work order’
was issued as tree clearing
was taking place without a
permit.
I would think New Tecumseth Estates profit from
leasing an additional 35
acres of farmland would pale
in comparison to the savings they would achieve by
removing the trees now, and
then coming forward with
another request to develop
the property in the future.
I am also troubled that a
statement issued this weekend by the County Forester
Graeme Davis says that in
Oct. 2014 The Environmental Impact Study “recommended a reduction to the
proposed woodland removal
to properly buffer an area
stream, reducing the woodland clearing to 30.6 acres
from the original request of
34.7 acres.”
Yet the permit the County issued in January 2015
grants permission to remove
approximately 35 acres of
woodlands.
As I read Simcoe County’s
Forest Conservation By-law
- Special permit section 5.2
requires that “ At least fifteen
(15) business days prior to
consideration of the application for a Special Permit, the
Clerk shall send, by regular
mail, written notice to the
applicant, all assessed owners of each parcel of land that
abuts the subject lands and
to such other persons as prescribed by Council.”
I have spoken with abutting landowners who were
not notified.
Additionally, Section 5.3
states that “Council shall
hear any person who wishes
to speak for or in objection to
an application for a Special
Permit.”
If the review that is taking
place presently, concludes
that the proper procedures did
not occur. I hope that County
Council will allow for input
by the residents as Section
5.3 seems to allow. There are
valid concerns with respect
to potential flooding, loss of
habitat, and the overall benefit of preserving woodland.
Personally having been a
Councillor and Board Member of a Conservation Authority, I never like to see a
land owner placed in a posi-
tion with they are left with a
piece of land that they can do
nothing with but pay taxes on
it. In this case however, perhaps, if public dialogue were
permitted we could at least
raise the issue with our Municipality and see if it would
consider using the funds in
the tree reserve account (generated through the Tree Preservation and Compensation
By-law) to purchase at least
a portion of the woodlots
which appear at their closest
point to be within 75 feet of
the proposed Trans Canada
Trail as it heads north out of
Beeton.
I don’t believe that anyone
expects our Government to
be perfect. But it is reasonable to expect that if a mistake has been made, that best
efforts are made to correct it.
Barbara Huson,
Beeton

‘Save the Beeton Woods’ meeting well attended
BY WENDY GABREK
A group of concerned
citizens came together last
Wednesday evening at the
Beeton Library branch to
discuss the impact of the removal of trees on a 9th Line
property.
Banning together under the ‘Save The Beeton
Woods’ Facebook banner,
the meeting lasted two hours
and more than 75 were in attendance.
The group, led by Carolin Milne, Deanne Gardiner,
Nicole Cox and Stephanie
MacLellan, discussed several topics in relation to the
removal of trees on private
property in a highlands area
just outside of Beeton proper; the chain of command
relating to obtaining clear
cutting permits (issued at the
county level); the impact the
removal of these trees could
potentially have on the village of Beeton, including
(but not limited to): flooding, endangered trees and
animal species, archaeological treasurers; stress on the
Beeton Creek (which could
cause potential flooding issues for abutting landowners
and schools); and stress on
sewage lines running over
top of aging infrastructure
(bridges).
“Who dropped the ball?”
was the main question asked,
in relation to why a permit
was issued by the County of
Simcoe in the first place.
In one of the pictures
linked to this article, is a
map of Beeton which shows
the woodlot in question. The
penned circle represents the
amount of forest already cut
down – under a legal permit
– by the Rizzardo family.
Attendees at the meeting
suggest that the County violated its own by-law, #5635,
in relation to clear cutting,
as it did not inform the abut-
ting land owners of the application to clear the trees
– which include a variety
known as ‘Butternut’ that is
endangered; and that there
was no public input session
held in relation to the above
mentioned application.
The group, which is going to vote on a new, permanent name (e-mail carolin.
[email protected] to suggest a name to be included
on the list of considerations)
came up with a “wish list”
by the meeting’s end. Included is:
1. A permanent group
formation, with a formal
organizational structure to
update, inform and advocate
on behalf of the residents
in Beeton, especially as it
concerns the matter at hand,
and to encourage Tottenham
and Alliston to form similar
groups for future alliance;
2. A public consultation to
be held with representatives
from the County, NVCA,
and the Mayor and Deputy
Mayor of the Town of New
Tecumseth (who are members of county council, and
were not present when that
council voted in favour of
issuing the permit in question);
3. To obtain, through the
Freedom of Information Act,
a copy of the permit and related documents issued to
‘Beeton Estates’;
4. To inform the Town of
New Tecumseth, through
Beeton Councillor Richard
Norcross (who was in attendance this evening), that
the group wishes to receive
regular written correspondence, by registered mail,
on any future happenings at
the site or in relation to this
matter and that a clear “point
person” at the Town should
be made known;
5. To continue with doorto-door canvassing of Bee-
ton to inform residents on
what’s happening, and to get
petitions into local stores for
signature (in addition to the
1,000 signatures against the
clear cutting of trees on the
9th Line, already collected
through social media in one
week) and to have the people
of Beeton contact the Mayor
and Deputy Mayor to ensure
that the displeasure of the
people is known;
6. To set a date to a future
meeting (likely next week –
TBA).
“We’re going to prove that
they (the County) didn’t follow the process,” said one
person in attendance.
“Who’s responsible for the
remediation, if any is necessary?” said another.
The current situation, as
updated by Councillor Norcross this evening, on the
site is that all clear cutting
of trees has stopped; the Rizzardo family is honouring
the stop work order issued
by the County this afternoon. Rizzardo now has 30days to appeal the stop work
order if they so choose.

Elementary schools
in b–ball
championship
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
Tecumseth South Public
School went to the South
Simcoe boys basketball
finals after winning their
semi-final game over Fieldcrest by two points.
That matched them up
against Fred C. Cooke from
Bradford who won their
semi-final game over the
defending champion Tecumseth Beeton Elementary school.
The championship, held
at Alliston Union Public
School in Alliston, was a
tight battle between two
skilled teams.
In the end, Fred C. Cooke
came out on top by a narrow margin winning 26–24
over Tec South.
The lead went back and
forth the entire second half,
but the “lid was on the basket” for Tec South in final three minutes as they
missed several close shot to
tie and go ahead.
It thwarted Tec South’s
bid to hold both Male and
Female South Simcoe
Championship Banners si-
multaneously for the first
time in school history.
Both boys teams are now
ranked top 16 in the county
among 160 public and catholic schools
Tec South and Fred C.
Cooke both advance to the
County Championships in
Barrie on Tuesday, March
10.
Tec South enters as the
smallest school in the tournament championship and
will face tough competition
having drawn a basketball
power house school in the
first round – Terry Fox
from Barrie.
Terry Fox Elementary
have won the past three
grade seven and eight boys
and girls Simcoe County
championships.
“I love the David and Goliath scenario in the tourney’s first game,” said Tec
South coach Jeff Dockeray.
“It would be a great story.
We’ve prepared well and
I know the boys relish the
chance to represent Tottenham and Tec South in the
county competition.”

Hornets Claim 2014/15 Jr. ‘C’ Title
Continued from FRONT
The Hornets are not done
for the year. Now they will
go on to the provincial level
to compete for the Schmalz
Cup.
“It feels good, very good,
(to win the title) but we
know we’re not done yet,”
said Hornets captain Tanner
Dockerty. “We want to keep
going and with the Schmalz
now.”
This was the first time the
Cougars have been in the
GMOHL championship since
2003 when they won the title.
Schomberg had a good season then really stepped it up
in the final.
“They played well, the
scored didn’t tell the whole
story,” Dockerty said. “They
aren’t the most disciplined
team and we made them pay
on the power play when we
could.”
The Hornets must now
wait for the outcome of the
Wingham / Walkerton final
series taking place in the
Western Junior C Hockey
League to see who they will
play in the first round at the
provincial level.
They should have about a
week off before the next series gets underway.
“Some banged up bodies
are going to take some time
to heal up,” Dockerty said
of what happens during that
week. “We’ll have a couple
of good practices to keep the
legs going. Then we’ll get
back out there.”
As of Wednesday night,
Walkerton was leading the
Western series 3–1.
The Hornets have met
Walkerton in the first round
for six consecutive years
from 2008 to 2013, and came
out on top every time.
There are seven other Junior C Leagues in Ontario
currently wrapping up their
final series.
Tottenham Steam done for the season
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Tottenham Steam are
finished for the season after
being knocked out in round
two of the playoffs by the
Halton Ravens.
It was a good run for the
team that dominated the
South Division of the Greater Metro Hockey League for
most of the season.
Ending the regular season in first place, the squad
managed 37 wins and five
losses over 42 games and
finished four points ahead
of the second place Toronto
Attack.
Tottenham entered the
playoffs in the first round
and met up with the Alliston
Coyotes.
That series went five
games when the Coyotes
managed to pull off two
surprise wins after spending
most of the season as a .500
team.
Going up against Halton
in the second round, the
Steam lost game one 6–4 on
the Ravens home ice.
The series was tied at
one when the return to Tottenham the following night
ended with a 5–4 win for the
Steam.
With not break, the squads
were back at it for game
three on February 28, and
the Ravens took a lead winning 5-1.
The series was tied again
after game four with the
Steam winning 4–2.
That brought the series
down to a single game to
decide the winner with the
final played at the Tottenham Community Centre
arena on March 4.
The Ravens took the game
12–3 and earned the right to
advance to the next round.
There are now four teams
left in the GMHL battling
it out for the championship
Russell Cup.
The Ravens are now up
against the Temsicaming Titans in one series.
The other series has the
Toronto Attack playing the
Seguin Huskies.

Adj–Tos brings 2015 budget with 3% municipal tax increase
RICHARD BLANCHARD
Adjala–Tosorontio council
has passed its 2015 budget
which will see the municipal
portion of the tax bill go up
by 3%.
Council passed the budget Monday night with two
of the members of council,
Floyd Pinto and Bob Meadows, opposed to its adoption.
Overall, township resi-
dents with
the average
residential assessment of
$400,000 will see a $27 increase in the municipal portion of their tax bill. The
education portion of the tax
bill is expected to remain
constant while the county
portion is going up by one
per cent.
Residents are also seeing
the impact of an increase
in the assessment value by
2.5% which will also affect
the amount of taxes.
Overall, the township will
spend $10,729,655 this year
with $9,972,155 on operating expenses and $757,500.
In a presentation during
the council meeting, treasurer Janet Sherwood told
councillors that the township
was seeing less money from
the province.
“Our Ontario Municipal
partnership Funding grant
will be reduced by $162,700,
a 20% cut,” she said.
She added that township
faced 28% increase in its
utility bills, 28% increase in
its WSIB payments and a
15% increase in its liability
insurance costs.”
The township also saw

LOOKING TO REDUCE THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE 10TH SIDEROAD – Marie Shaw, a resident of the Town of New Tecumseth, spoke to council on Monday night, asking that the speed limit on the 10th Sideroad, between the 5th Line and Hwy.
9 be reduced from 80 km/hour to 60 km/hour. Shaw presented a petition with multiple signatures and stated the reasons for
her request, which include: increased dump truck traffic containing fill headed for the 5th Line pit; increased traffic flow from
the new subdivisions on the 3rd and 4th Lines of Tottenham; the refusal by Canada Post to deliver mail to 78 homes within
this stretch due to narrow roads and deep culverts which poses a risk to postal workers; frequent accidents on the stretch of
road – including one dump truck ending up in the ditch; school buses dropping off children; increase of traffic flow from the
approved Beeton subdivisions; and the fact that four major lines cross this section of road. Shaw pointed out that the cost of
changing the signs would be “negligible compared to (the cost of) a life”. The speed limit on this section of road was increased
to 80 km/hour from 60 km/hr in 2002, on the recommendation of a traffic study. The issue was left for town staff to look into. A
report is expected back at a future Committee of the Whole meeting.
a 2.3% increase in its OPP
levy while the Ontario Provincial Police subsidization
funding of $147,575 has
been cancelled. The result
will see user fee of OPP service rise to $375 per unit and
$187.50 for vacant properties.
Councillors Bob Meadows
and Floyd Pinto had difficulties with supporting the budget because of the funding
of health benefits for retired
township employees.
Meadows said that the
township was looking at an
annual cost of $32,000 for
about 40 former employees.
“I find it hard to support
this when we don’t have any
bylaws approving this measure which started back in
2009,” he said. He said that
he concerns about the township’s total liability for this
program which is estimated
to cost over a million dollars.
Pinto has similar concerns
about the amount of money
that had been paid out over
the years and the number of
people receiving the benefits.
He was told that about
$300,000 had been paid out
over the years and that the
decision on the benefits had
been made as an executive
decision by the mayor.
Deputy Mayor Doug Little
said that the township had
received legal opinion that
it would be unable to rescind
the retirement benefits package for any current employee.
“Its probably cheaper to
pay benefits as its stands
then to hire lawyers for a
court case.”
Council recently decided
not to extend the retirement
benefits package to any new
hired employees.
Mayor Mary Small Brett
said that she appreciated the
work of council and staff
in coming up with a budget
with an increase of three per
cent.
“I think that an increase of
this size is admirable with all
the increased costs that we
were facing.”
Deputy mayor Doug Little
expressed similar support
for the budget.
“Under the circumstances,
I think that we did it pretty
good this year. It wasn’t
easy.”

Council notes
BY WEnDY GaBREk
At the Monday, March 9th Council meeting, the following issues were discussed:
• Ward 7 Councillor, Shira Harrison McIntyre, asked that
council consider using a recorded vote system for all future
decisions made by council. Her item will be added to the
April Committee of the Whole meeting;
• Ward 6 Councillor Richard Norcross delivered the news
that the Pan Am Games Torch will now also be passing
through Beeton, briefly on June 12th. The Torch was originally just to pass through Riverdale Park, Alliston on its
journey through New Tecumseth;
• Giant Tiger will officially open its doors in Alliston, at
its new location on Yonge Street, at 7:15 a.m., this Saturday, March 14th;
• The Museum on the Boyne in Alliston will receive a
federal grant for $25,000 this Saturday, at a cheque presentation scheduled for 9:15 a.m. (March 14th). The money
will be used towards much needed improvements at the
MOB, including flooring ad humidity control, much to the
delight of Ward 4 Councillor Fran Sainsbury!
Got your dog tags?
BY WEnDY GaBREk
Council has approved two motions that will strengthen
the town’s Canine Control Program.
Starting this spring, dog owners will be canvassed to ensure that all of the dogs in their care are properly tagged.
This door-to-door program will be conducted by K9 Pest
Management Group Inc. at a cost of $57,630 for the year,
and starts this spring.
K9 will also patrol the streets of New Tecumseth 20
hours a week, looking for violators.
The Town has also signed an agreement with Arcticlight
Kennels (7087 2nd Line) for the provision of pound facilities for runaway, untagged dogs, for a five year period, also
ending in 2020.
Dog tags can be purchased from the Town of New Tecumseth, at 10 Wellington Street East, Alliston, or from the
Beeton Joint Operation Centre 6558 8th Line, Beeton. Fees
range from $5 to $50 per dog.
PhOTOS BY WEnDY GaBREk
WORlD DaY Of PRaYER CElEBRaTED In TOTTEnham – World Day of Prayer 2015 was celebrated in Friday night at
Fraser Presbyterian Church in Tottenham. Representatives from six local churches, of all denominations, were on hand for
the event, themed “Women of the Bahamas”. Community perishes have been rotating World Day of Prayer events since
1922. The World Day of Prayer Committee of The Bahamas prepared the service, which was adapted for use in Canada by
the Women’s Inter–Church Council of Canada, and delivered by local women. “The Bahamas may seem a distant paradise
of sun and sand. Bask in that beauty for a moment and consider its fragility. Oil tankers and hurricanes pose environmental
risks while far-flung Family Islands, which few tourists reach and where opportunity and resources are scarce, pose social and
infrastructure challenges. May the sun and sand invite the world to witness God at work through the people of The Bahamas.
We lift our prayers with and for our sisters and our brothers in The Bahamas for God’s strength and support in their acts of
radical love and service to others,” reads a section of the evenings program. Following the service, church goers were invited
into the accessible church basement for some camaraderie and goodies, complete with palm trees and pink flamingos.

Good deeds don’t Go unnoticed – Ward 1 Councillor, Marc Biss, recognised three
students at Alliston Union Public School on Monday for their commitment to civic duty. Siblings, Gordon, Tavie and Clancy, all volunteered their time during the 2014 Municipal Election by straightening campaign signs and notifying Biss if any signs had been damaged or
removed within his ward (along Oak Street, Darling Crescent and Gray Avenue). The children
were presented with two pins each – a Canadian flag and one bearing the Town of New Tecumseth logo – and a signed letter from the Mayor, Rick Milne. “Thank you for stepping up
and helping out,” Biss told each of the children during separate presentations in front of their
classmates. “You did a great job helping to keep the lawn signs upright and neat.” Biss felt
it was important to honour these children – especially Clancy, who says he’d like to work in
municipal politics himself one day – to show how important it is to recognise good behaviour,
while keeping the election process fair. Pictured: Clancy Craig, Grade 6.
