Fall Pictures at the museum, an instant classic – Howard and Linda King, Alliston residents and members of the ‘Recycled Teenagers
Classic Car and Truck Club’ were at the Museum on the Boyne last Thursday taking fall pictures in front the museum’s log cabin out-building. The couple
were dressed in period costume to have “a bit of fun” with their photo shoot. “We’ve had our 1930 Chevrolet Sedan for about four years and are restoring
it ourselves,” Mr. King told The Times. “We have both been working at reupholstering the interior. When you are retired it is good to keep your brain working by learning to do new things and nice to have a project we could work at together. We never did upholstery before. It is a work in progress and we are
looking forward to the finished product.” Meanwhile, the couple says they are having fun going back in time. “We’ve done shows at the seniors’ homes
in the past years and our car always seemed to be a hit. We love making people smile and hear their stories related to our vintage car,” said Mr. King.

new oPP billing model leads
to savings for new tecumseth
The new Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) billing
model will see the Town of
New Tecumseth’s costs reduced.
According to the Municipal Policing Bureau’s 2015
policing billing statement,
the Town will have an annual reduction of $800,000
which will be phased in over
3 years.
The 2015 phase-in adjustment will equate to $370,000
in savings.
While the cost for the
Town’s police services will
be reduced, the enhanced
level of service will be maintained.
“After much consultation
and outreach, we are pleased
with the final outcome that
will see significant savings
for New Tecumseth now and
in the future,” said Mayor
Mike MacEachern.
“This is great news for our
community while we continue to receive the same
outstanding level of service
from our dedicated Nottawasaga OPP,” he said.

LocaL Food bankS Receive $10,500 donation FRom the nottawaSaga Foundation – On Monday, September 29, the Nottawasaga Foundation presented a cheque for
$10,500 to the local food banks of Alliston, Tottenham, and Angus just in time for Thanksgiving. Each food bank received a $3,500 donation to provide additional support for their continuous efforts throughout the year. Donations, such as these, provide emergency food to those
in need and help immensely during the holiday season. “We are proud to have raised enough
funds from our highly successful Nottawasaga Foundation Annual Charity Golf Fundraiser to
provide such support,” said a representative from the Nottawasaga Foundation. To date, the
Foundation has donated a total of $211,500 or $70,500 to each of the three local food banks.

In honour of ‘Breast Cancer Awareness Month’ fire
fighters from the New Tecumseth Fire Department,
Station 1 Alliston, wore their
best pink outfits to the fire
hall.
The ‘Dress for the Cause’
event, in support of the
Breast Cancer Society of
Canada, was especially important this year, because
for the first time in the De-
partment’s history there are
female fire fighters working
in all three New Tec stations.
For those who forgot their
pink dress shirts, or hot pink
wigs, pink helmets – originally worn by the wives of
fire fighters during the annual convention – were passed
out prior to the cake cutting
(featuring a pink, breast cancer awareness ribbon).
The event was organized
by fire fighter Terrina Gil-

New Tecumseth and, along with my husband Barry a third

Who should you vote in for council?
Dear editor:
Election time always creates a big dilemma for voters
as to who to vote for. Many
residents are unable to follow the inner workings of
council during their tenure
and I’m sure many will say
they don’t have the time to
keep track of the entire goings on.
Recently, I attended an all
candidates meeting where I
listened to a couple of good
speeches, however, most
parroted the same old narrow focus diatribe, “I will
be fiscally responsible or
I’m going to get rid of all
unnecessary spending or I’ll
shake up council and you
can count on me to represent you”. One would have
thought these attributes are a
prerequisite for anyone running anyway!
New Tec is a corporation
and as such the town officers
(managers) are the corporate
management team, they set
the town’s annual budgets
and draw up the plans for
councils review. I should add
that typically annual business plans are drawn up with
the strategic plan in mind.
This corporate strategic and
business plan is the vision
we have set forth for the future of TNT (Town of New
Tecumseth) and is posted
on the town website for all
to see, (please check it out).
Our town strategic plan (or
vision for the future) in conjunction with the “Ontario’s
Places to Grow” initiative,
projects all TNT development and growth (residential
and commercial) with a population increase to 60,000
residents by 2032. That’s
double today’s numbers! So
as you can see small minded,
self serving thinking has no
place in council today!
This projection also details many other necessary
considerations required to
service this future expanded
population base, including
things like recreation, public
transit and roads.
Personally, I feel the town
strategic plan is pretty good;
there is no such thing as a
perfect plan! More important is how we execute, budget and follow up to keep
the plan on track. Changing management does not
change the plan, like any
good corporation if the plan
is good then you hold the
course making small changes as necessary, as you go,
if the plan is flawed then
modify it!
This brings me to the candidates, how much or how
well do they understand the
plan? If it’s an incumbent
candidate and you’re not
sure of them, why not ask,
“What have you done during your term to make your
ward, community a better
place for families to live?”,
“What have you done to
improve the (air, water,
soil, green spaces) environment?”, “What have you
done to manage or control
development?”, “What committees have you participated in and what did they
accomplish?”
If considering a new candidate do you get a good
feeling that they are forward thinking, have a grasp
on current issues and understand the town Strategic
Plan? Ask them how they
envision TNT in 2032, using
the same format for incumbents.
Council acts like the senate, they are there to help
guide and give feed back to
the management team on important matters and concerns
collectively and relevant to
their wards.
Dear editor:
After attending the meet
and greet (hosted by The
Times) last week it was an
eye opener for me as a voter. I listened to some of the
comments made by the candidates and it just reinforced
my belief that at this point
of our towns growth we
need a candidate that has the
knowledge and experience
of municipal politics.
That is why I feel Richard
Norcross is the best man for
the job ahead. He has the ex-
perience, knowledge, commitment, and is available to
his constituents 24/7. He is
very involved with events
happening in Beeton and the
town in general.
What many people may
not know about Richard is
his kind heart and the charity work that he is involved
with. I know he won’t talk
about it himself but I know
first hand what a kind man
he really is. My family went
through some health issues
some years back and I didn’t
know Richard that well at
the time, but the first one,
outside the family, that offered his help in any way
he could was Richard. This
my friends had nothing to do
with politics, but it says a lot
about what kind of man he
really is.
I do hope everyone gets
out and votes as this is a
great privilege, and good
luck to all.
Dear editor:
On Tuesday October 7,
there was a municipal candidates debate in Tottenham.
During the debate it became
public that Mayoralty candidate Rick Milne, Bob Marrs
and Deputy Mayoralty candidates Jamie Smith, and
Ward 8 councillor Jim Stone
have been accepting financial donations from land
developers. It gets worse.
Two days later, on Thursday
October 9, it became public
on a local political blog that
Ward 3 councillor Paul Whiteside has also accepted a financial donation from a land
developer. Can it get worse?
Unfortunately it does.
Two days after admitting
that he accepted campaign
financing from the land development industry, Deputy
Mayoral candidate Jamie
Smith started to advertise on
local radio station MY FM.
Smith states, “I am against
urban sprawl. In 2004 and
again in 2012 I voted against
the Mattamy development
project”. It is now apparent that Mr. Smith totally
disagrees with the business
model of land developers
which is “urban sprawl”, but
he is more than eager to cash
the cheques they gave him.
Oh, and more good news!
Mr. Smith also thinks town
council should become more
transparent in their dealings.
The best analogy I can
think of, would be finding
out the local blood donor
clinic has accepted a financial donation from Dracula.
You could not make this
stuff up if you tried.
Gentle readers, it is time
for us to clean up our political house in New Tecumseth.
It is time for a fresh start.
Best man for the job

Learn to spell Gord
Dear editor:
Re: Gord Kinnon’s Letter to the Editor, published in the
Oct. 9th edition, titled ‘Picks for mayor, deputy mayor
and beating an incumbent’
Gord: When expressing your opinion regarding the candidates applying for council in New Tecumseth, it is common courtesy to spell their names correctly. Doug Kowalinski’s name is not spelled ‘Kowabunga’.
It is appalling any adult could be so childish. You owe
Doug an apology.

The Canadian
Defence Policy
Dear editor:
For those with a knowledge of Canadian history the
outcome of the recent debate to engage Canada in the
mid-east should not have come as a surprise.
Since Canada began I do not believe that Quebec ever
played a leading role in promoting military action. Quebecois regularly referred to the conflicts over the years
as British wars. The Quebec mindset is still tied to the
Lois XIV era. Not so with France. It has always been
at the forefront to help protect its community. We have
two similar political parties in Quebec that play on this
non military sentiment and after all the Quebecois know
best, because Justin Trudeau told us that they are the best.
But the contradictions in Quebec are glaring. They are
okay with making money from military manufacturing.
Six out of the 10 top military manufacturing companies
in Canada are in Quebec. And they are also okay with
the rest of Canada providing for and protecting them. The
major transfer payments to Quebec for 2013 are 17.9 billion dollars. This represents 26 per cent of Quebec’s total
revenues.

Rotary Club set to host Diamond Anniversary Gala

The Rotary Club of Alliston is proud to be celebrating 60 years of service to
Alliston and the surrounding community. Chartered
in 1955, 2014/15 marks this
milestone anniversary. Our
veryfirstcommunityproject
was the creation of the Rotary pool, our 50th anniversary project was the building
of Adventure Playground at
Riverdale Park, and our 60th
anniversary project will be
the expansion of the splash
pad across the road from the
park. It will be enhanced
by sunshades and a walkway from the splash pad to
Rotary pool. The members
of the club are very excited
about this new initiative, especially since the Town of
Let’s ask the candidates
Dear editor:
Here’s a few questions we need to ask our candidates for
municipalofficeinWard6:
1. Why have we seen no action on a multiple doctors’ officeinBeeton?MustwerelyonWalmarttodoeverything?
2.What is being done to make the old Main Street “downtown core” of Beeton less like a NASCAR speedway?
a. Has there been any real pressure put on council to installtrafficlightsatbothDayfootandCentreStreet?
b. When was the last time the OPP ran a radar trap on
Main Street?
c. When did the OPP ever install a radar trap at Patterson Street and Stewart (just north of Tecumseth Beeton
Elementary School)? The cops would catch more big time
speeders here than attendance at a Leaf game.
d. Has there been any discussion on lowering the speed
limit on Beeton’s Main Street to 40 km/hr?
Regarding the office of the Deputy Mayor:Apparently
candidate Glen O’Leary thinks we need no parking time
limit on New Tecumseth streets??? Thanks, but no thanks
Mr. O’Leary. Methinks I’ll be voting for Jamie Smith.
We are told that Dayfoot Street will not be widened to
four lanes, just slated to be “urbanized” which I guess
means repaving and sidewalks. I assume this will be after the dump trucks ruin whatever is left of Dayfoot when
homeconstructionisfinished?Somethingmeaningful(like

New Tecumseth has pledged
$100,000 in matching funding for the splash pad project.
The club’s fundraising effort will begin with the annual Gala Dinner and Auction, the proceeds of which
will be used to support community projects, including
the 60th anniversary project.

The main points of concern that I have heard by our
Ward 3 residents are; keeping our tax rates low, town
debt, roads, speed on roads
and mismanagement of tax
dollars. I plan on working
with fellow councillors in
addressing the issue of taxes. I will be accessible to all
Ward 3 resident’s as a single
voice is just as important as
many. Our representative’s
need to be accountable for
their actions.

We cannot stop development, though it needs to be
monitored keeping in mind
what the best results are for
the resident’s of New Tecumseth. Developer’s don’t
make communities, families

C. What is your vision for
the future of New Tecumseth? How do you intend on
being a part of that?
My vision for the Town of
New Tecumseth is growth.
We nee to promote small
businesses and attract new
businesses as they play an
important role in growth and
employment to our community. I intent to be a part of
this by bringing unrelenting
advocacy to my constituents,
personal integrity, commitment, honesty, transparency
and accountability.

just one of 10 possible votes
on every issue presented to
council for consideration.
How will you work with
other councillors and the
mayor and deputy mayor to see that results are

I will work with other

iii. The individual identities of Alliston, Beeton and

iv. I feel that and indoor swimming facility is
not a good way to spend
$15,000,000 of tax payer’s

respect to partnering up with
existing facilities and/or perform an addition to an existing facility.
v. I oppose to general use
of consultants as what is the
reasoning to pay both consultants and Department Director’s.
vi. The budget for Parks,

been implemented well at
this time.
vii. We currently have 3
full-time firefighters and no
shortage of volunteer firefighters. We don’t have fulltime fires, I feel no need for
additional full-time firefighters at this time.

it needs to be revisited.
F. As a resident of New
Tecumseth, where did the
previous term of council go
wrong? What did they get
right?
As a resident of New Tecumseth, I feel previous
council went wrong with
mismanaging our taxpayers money with with no accountability;
consultation

charges and increase our
debt. What council got right
was acknowledging some of
their mistakes.

••••••••••••••••
Chris Ross
– Ward 8
candidate
Name:
Christopher
(Chris) Ross
Municipality of residence: Town of New Tecumseth
Ward you are running
in: Ward 8 Tottenham
Family members: Wife
– Tracey, Daughter – Haley,
Son - Patrick
Motto: “Success through
leadership”
Reason why you entered
this race: In the 2014 budget overview that was approved by our current council on December 16th, 2013,
the Town of New Tecumseth
stated that it is “important
over the next few years that
the organization begins to
phase in the return of annual,
predictable reserve contributions”. Our long-term debt is
now close to $55.0 million
and it is time to get our financial house in order. I will
work with other Council
members to return the Town
of New Tecumseth to financial stability and make sure
that it is in a better financial
position in 2018 than it is
now. I will also be a dedicated, accessible, committed and responsive voice for
Tottenham residents.
A. In the ward/position you are running in/
for, what do you see as the
main points of concern and
how do you intend to deliver results for your constituents?
I have been out knocking on doors and talking to
people in Tottenham and
the major area of concern is
definitely the poor quality of
our municipal water supply.
I would like to see the quality of our water on par with
the rest of New Tecumseth.
Other concerns include the
new sub divisions that are
being built and the truck
traffic and construction
damage that is being done to
our roads as a result of this
construction, the volume
of truck traffic through the
centre of Tottenham and the
poor quality of some of our
older roads. I will work with
other members of council
and Town staff to do all that
I can to solve these issues.
B. Keeping in mind that
Simcoe County has been
identified as a growth
node by the province, and
specifically that the population of New Tecumseth is expected to double
by 2031, how would you
bridge development with
environmental protection
while still attracting new
business and residents to
the area?
Growth in Ward 8 has already been approved and 3
new subdivisions are either
currently or close to being
built. With the completion of
these existing subdivisions,
Tottenham will be built out
to the existing Ward 8 limits. Further expansion is not
likely to occur as Provincial
Policies have identified Alliston as future growth areas.
Our residents are concerned
with the strain that the new
population will put on our
existing services and infrastructure. For example, traffic on Tottenham Road will
increase substantially and
additional traffic lights will
be required to manage the
increased volume of traffic
along Tottenham Road.
Continued on PAGE 9
The TIMES – October 16, 2014 – Page 9
Continued from PAGE 8
Our residents want to
know why we spent money
to pave Tottenham Road
with a short term micro paving solution when we have
roads in our Community that
are over 30 years old and
in need of repair. Any new
areas of growth in New Tecumseth must meet environmental standards outlined by
our Provincial Government.
C. What is your vision for
the future of New Tecumseth? How do you intend on
being a part of that?
My vision of New Tecumseth is to preserve and
enhance the unique small
town character that exists in
the 3 communities of Alliston, Beeton and Tottenham.
We should work to prevent
urban sprawl and keep the
rural and urban balance that
currently exists in our Community. I will continue to
volunteer my time to local
Community groups that are
interested in strengthening
our Town and I will work
with my fellow Councillors
to ensure that we work hard
and make the right decisions
to improve the Town’s current financial position.
D. As you know, you get
just one of 10 possible votes
on every issue presented to
council for consideration.
How will you work with
other councillors and the
mayor and deputy mayor to see that results are
achieved and that council
runs smoothly?
I will cooperate and develop relationships with
members of Council who are
concerned about the health
and welfare of the Town of
New Tecumseth as a whole.
I will participate and share
the views of Ward 8 at all
Council meetings and I will
be very co-operative with all
Councillors who have the
best interest of our Town at
heart. I believe that great
things can be accomplished
as long as we are focusing
on issues and services that
will benefit the whole Town
of New Tecumseth.
E. Where do you stand
on the following:
i. The amount of funding
dedicated to maintaining
and developing infrastructure (specifically roads)
I have reviewed the 2014
Town Budget and $7.795
million of the total budget
(or 31.9%) was allocated to
be spent on Roads, Public
Works and Engineering. This
seems like a lot of money to
me, but the quality of our
roads continues to decline.
The 15th Sideroad is in terrible condition and I feel that
we must somehow increase
our funding to roads.
ii. The development of
further programs to keep
store fronts bright
I will work to maintain
and possibly improve the
current Community Improvement Plan (CIP) which
provides grants to eligible
property owners in each of
the three commercial downtown cores of Alliston, Beeton and Tottenham. These
grants assist with the costs
of restoration and/or refurbishment of the commercial
storefront facades. I will ask
the local Business Improvement Associations (BIA’s)
and Chambers to see if they
could also help with this issue.
iii. The individual identities of the three communities that make-up the
Municipality of New Tecumseth (Alliston, Beeton,
Tottenham)
I do not want to change the
3 identities that have been
forged over the years. I will
work together with the new
Council to provide facilities,
programs and services that
will benefit all 3 communities in New Tecumseth.
iv. The need for a public
indoor pool in New Tecumseth, and where
I feel that here is a need for
a public indoor pool but I do
not feel that we can we afford to build one at this time.
When we can afford it, I
would like to see it centrally
located in New Tecumseth.
v. The use of consultants
versus employing in-house
talent
I do not support the use of
Consultants and would use
them only on an as needed
basis. However, they will be
required in some instances
where Town staff is either
not equipped or experienced
enough to carry out the task
at hand. For example, the
Design and budgeting process for a new indoor pool
will require the Town to
hire an Architect and Design
firm.
vi. The budget for Parks,
Recreation & Culture
The Parks, Recreation &
Culture Department operating budget for 2014 was $3.2
million. Their capital budget
for carry forward and new
projects in 2014 was an additional $6.3 million. They
earmarked $65,000 of this
for recreational sports field
improvements. The adult
and children’s Ball Leagues
that use Coventry Park in
Tottenham are patiently
waiting for some of this
money to be spent on field
drainage, fence improvements and outfield lights that
actually work.
vii. The employment of
full-time firefighters
I feel that our volunteers
do a great job. We already
have 3 full-time firefighters
and I would have investigate and evaluate the cost
and the implications to our
taxes before I could decide
on whether or not we should
employ more full-time firefighters.
iix. The division of approved grant monies to local organizations and notfor-profits
I would like to look at this
program in more detail. The
Town of New Tecumseth has
over $54.0 million in long
term debt and I would like
to focus on getting our financial house in order.
F. As a resident of New
Tecumseth, where did the
previous term of council go
wrong? What did they get
right?
I feel that the Town debt
level is too high and we have
had to deplete our reserve
accounts and spend money
on projects that were not
planned or budgeted properly. On a positive note, the
Town is well on their way
to completing a trail system
through town which will
connect us to the Trans Canada trail system and provide
a great exercise and recreation opportunity for people
of all ages. Also, I feel that
New Tecumseth continues
to remain a unique blend of
rural and urban with a small
town welcoming feeling,
which is why we moved here
17 years ago.
G. Please chose one –
What is the biggest issue in
the upcoming election:
a. Roads and infrastructure
b. Development and environmental preservation
c. Balanced budget and
service levels
d. Affordable housing and
cost of living
e. Job creation and taxation levels
All our important, but the
biggest issue for me is a balanced budget and consistent
service levels.

Kevin Kemp
– mayoralty
candidate
from land developers, Simcoe County and the Province. I believe that I am
the candidate best suited to
provide a strong and effective voice to represent the
Town’s interests.
A. In the position you are
running for, what do you
see as the main points of
concern and how do you
intend to deliver results for
your constituents?
There are five (in no particular order):
1. In the past decade the
Town debt has escalated to
approximately $80,000,000.
Taxes have increased more
than 20% over this past term
of Council. Earlier this year
a consultant painted a frightening picture of the Town’s
financial position. The pattern of “tax, borrow and
spend” needs to come to an
end. We need to start by appropriately managing costs.
2. Control urban sprawl.
The Mattamy/Cappuccitti
plan to build a city of 50,000
people between Beeton and
Tottenham will be back before Council. The development would create even
more traffic nightmares. I am
absolutely opposed to this
proposal and uncontrolled
urban sprawl in general. We
do not need to become the
next Mississauga.
3. Openness and Transparency. The secretive behaviour of the Town (which
includes blacking out of
documents and the refusal
to provide details of how
the Town spends legal fees)
needs to come to an immediate end.
4. Alienation in the South.
There is a sense in the south
part of the Town that they are
routinely neglected and/or
left out. This sense of alienation needs to be addressed.
To start, a certain number of
Council meetings each year
should be held in Beeton and
Tottenham. I’d also like to
investigate the possibility
of a new Town Hall being
established at the centre of
the Town (Joint Operations
Centre outside of Beeton).
5. Inaction on the Volk
Aerodrome. Rather than

Name: Kevin Kemp
Municipality of residence: Town of New Tecumseth

MARRS
FOR MAYOR
sit on its’ hands and claim
it cannot do anything, the
Town needs to immediately
take steps to both enforce
and update its’ bylaws to
ensure the interests of the
residents are adequately protected.
B. Keeping in mind that
Simcoe County has been
identified as a growth
node by the province, and
specifically that the population of New Tecumseth is expected to double
by 2031, how would you
bridge development with
environmental protection
while still attracting new
business and residents to
the area?
New residents and businesses will arrive as growth
occurs.
However, that
growth must be responsible
and does not include plopping a city the size of North
Bay between Alliston and
Beeton as contemplated by
the
Mattamy/Cappuccitti
proposal.
C. What is your vision for
the future of New Tecumseth? How do you intend on
being a part of that?
A vibrant, financially
healthy, community with
controlled and responsible
growth. My vision does
not involve seeing New Tecumseth become the next
Brampton or Mississauga.
D. As you know, you get
just one of 10 possible votes
on every issue presented to
council for consideration.
How will you work with
other councillors and the
mayor and deputy mayor to see that results are
achieved and that council
runs smoothly?
My professional background and training in complex litigation has resulted
in my obtaining extensive
experience in conflict resolution even in circumstances
where many different viewpoints and interests are represented.
E. Where do you stand
on the following:
i. The amount of funding
dedicated to maintaining
and developing infrastructure (specifically roads)
Many of the roads are
both an embarrassment and
disgrace. Some of the funds
that are saved by spending more responsibly (for
example, reducing the endless stream of consultants)
should be directed to address
some of these infrastructure
concerns.
ii. The development of
further programs to keep
store fronts bright
The Town should continue to work closely with
the existing BIA’s to ensure
vibrant downtown’s in each
of Beeton, Tottenham and
Alliston. This involves continuing existing programs.
iii. The individual identities of the three communities that make-up the
Municipality of New Tecumseth (Alliston, Beeton,
Tottenham)
The individual identities
can be improved by ensuring vibrant downtown communities. At the same time,
the alienation felt by those in
Beeton, Tottenham and other
areas of the south needs to
be addressed. I do not come
to the table with an “Alliston” bias as might exist with
someone who has lived their
entire life in Alliston or has
represented Alliston interests over several terms of
Council.
iv. The need for a public
indoor pool in New Tecumseth, and where
The Town is in dire financial circumstances. At the
present time there are simply no resources available to
finance an indoor pool. Borrowing even more money is
not the answer.
v. The use of consultants
versus employing in-house
talent
The use of consultants
needs to be dramatically reduced. Too often it seems
as though this past Council
used consultants as a means
to “pass the buck” and avoid
dealing with difficult decisions.
vi. The budget for Parks,
Recreation & Culture
The budget needs to be
cut.

Principle over Politics
Get our fiscal house in order
Maintain ongoing search and submissions for all Federal, Provincial, County and private
funding sources to increase revenue.

Transportation

Continued from PAGE 9
vii. The employment of
full-time firefighters
The volunteer firefighters
have been doing a remarkable job and the current system ought to continue. The
Town is not in a financial
position to incur such an additional expense.
F. As a resident of New
Tecumseth, where did the
previous term of council go
wrong? What did they get
right?
Some on Council are far
too closely associated with
land developers and have appear to have had trouble saying “no”. This needs to end
if a development is not in
the best interests of the community. It is a reason why,
in this campaign, I have not
(nor will I) accept donations
from land developers.
Similarly, the endless pattern of “tax, borrow and
spend” needs to end.
H. If elected, you are automatically appointed as
a county councillor. How
will you represent the interests of the residents
of New Tecumseth at the
county level?
In the same manner that
I represent my clients in
litigation - as a thoughtful,
fearless advocate on behalf
of the residents of New Tecumseth.
I. Are you for, or against,
a Regional Council and
why?
The current system needs
to change. While the notion
of Simcoe County may have
made sense 100+ years ago,
our residents have very little
in common with the Township of Tiny etc.
J. How do you plan
to work with town staff
and council members to
achieve results for this municipality?

Hello, my name is Donna
Da Silva and I am a candidate in the Municipal Elections on October 27th for
Public School Trustee.
Being extremely active in
various associations related
to student learning, I know
that I can make a positive
difference in education. I
have been active at both
the school and school board
level in various parent committees.
As a consultant for anti-violence across Canada, I am
extremely passionate about
safe welcoming school climates. Students who feel
welcome and accepted are
more confident and achieve
greater success.
Healthy school climates
that promote healthy relationships are built on trust,
communication,
respect
and empathy. Every student deserves to graduate high school regardless
of the inabilities. We must
have teachers, students and
parents talking together to
create healthy climates in
our schools. Current climate surveys need to be
consistent and include parents, staff and students of
all grades. I know if we all
collaborate together we can
achieve much safer, happier
and healthier schools where
students thrive and feel in-

I also would like to see
math and literacy treated
with the same respect. Many
people are quick to put on
a badge of honor when it
comes to math (“Oh I was
never good at math, it is no
wonder my child is not”). If
you could not read, would
you do the same? Probably
not, most people would not
voice that they cannot read.
We need math in everyday
life, just like we need to read
in everyday life. If we all
learned to have a much more
positive attitude toward
math, our students would
achieve far greater success
than we ever thought possible.
If you want someone who
cares and will help you find
solutions please vote for
Donna Da Silva in the Municipal Elections on October
27th.

I’m not a master negotiator.
I’m the regular guy. Well regular in that I raise chickens,
make YouTube videos, play
Minecraft and go to security
conferences. He has some
valid questions that I have
answered for others. Redoing everything for everyone
is the political way of sliding around an idea, wastes
time as well as money and
could lead to dangerous delays. What is challenging the
board? – not currently being
a member I do not know –
bogged down decisions and
too many committees maybe? I would like to hope that
knowledge presented for the
masses is no less valuable
than information directed at
the individual. I want to see
our schools on top financially and academically, I have a
stake in that. I’ll bring four
years of storm for you. Years
of the same old meetings
and passing the buck have to
stop. Conflicts of interest for
4 years? Not that I can think
of. Conflict, sure, but hopefully in a productive direction. If I win the election I
will do my best to make my

functions when invited, and
getting out in community
functions to show your support to the community as a
whole. I also feel that your
trustee should be available
to address all concerns and
do so in a timely fashion.
Communication is key to
helping the Catholic School
Community grow while still
obtaining proper class sizes
and the best education for
our children.
I know that school employees are currently working without contracts as of
August 31, 2014 therefore
the new Candidates voted in
as of October 27, 2014 will
have much work to do to
ensure that education is not
disrupted. Trustees should
be creative with spending
and stretching the budget
and should be diligent in
coming up with a solid action plan to accomplish this.
My vision for Catholic
Education in the community
and Province wide is to focus on the children’s education and bringing God and
Jesus into not only the class-
room or school but for the
children to be able to relate
to their teachings outside of
school as well. I would like
to see the Catholic Schools
grow in size while maintaining proper class sizes and
ensuring all kids have the
materials needed for proper
education. I feel that by
ensuring our children are
getting proper education including religion, they will
be able to take the Spirit of
Christ into the community
with them. This will help
with children’s self esteem
and help children understand
that we are all unique and
all loved equally by Christ.
This will also help kids to
understand they should love
everyone equally and help to
prevent bullying. Catholic
Schools are distinctive because they give children the
chance to get away from our
crazy lives and connect with
Christ.
I am looking forward to
working with you and the
community in making our
Catholic School experience
rewarding and fulfilling for
our children.
Warden’s Gala raises
$75,000 for United Way
Simcoe County Warden
Cal Patterson hosted the
eighth annual Simcoe County Warden’s Gala at the Nottawasaga Inn Resort in Alliston on October 9. Thanks
to the sponsorship of the
numerous businesses and organizations, the event raised
more than $75,000 in support
of United Way Greater Simcoe County.
“For eight years, the Gala,
hosted by the office of the
Warden, has gathered our
generous partners to lend
a helping-hand to people
in need, and make Simcoe
County communities stronger,” said Warden Cal Patterson. “I can only say thank
you to these individuals and
organizations on behalf of
the County and the more
than 150,000 residents that
were positively impacted by
United Way agencies in Simcoe County last year alone.”
Highlights of the evening included musical performances by Joe Abbott,
five-star food provided by
the Nottawasaga Inn Resort,
comedy by David Hemstad,
and the outstanding work of
CTV News Senior Anchor
Tony Grace as the evening’s
emcee.
The County of Simcoe is a
proud partner of United Way
Greater Simcoe County in
part because of the complementary missions. As the
Consolidated Municipal Service Manager, the County
administers essential social
services programs for residents throughout the region
including the cities of Barrie
and Orillia through the Children and Community Ser-
vices, Social Housing, and
Ontario Works Departments.
“The ongoing partnership
of UWGSC and the County
of Simcoe is a natural fit due
to our common goal to support and empower our residents to lead healthy, stable
and independent lives,” said
UWGSC Interim CEO Dale
Biddell. “We thank Warden
Patterson and County Councillors for demonstrating
their support through this
important fundraiser. As always, the money raised at
the Warden’s Gala will be reinvested locally to strengthen
all our communities.”
United Way Greater Simcoe County distributes funds
and other capacity-building
support to 30 local nonprofit agencies throughout
the County of Simcoe. The
life-changing programs and
services provided by these
organizations help move
County residents from poverty to possibility, work to
build communities, and help
children to reach their potential.
In eight years, the County
of Simcoe Warden’s Gala
has raised approximately
$500,000 for the United Way.

Everett expansion dominates first all–candidates meeting
Photo By RichaRd BlanchaRd
It was standing room only at the Everett Legion last Tuesday night as 200 people packed into the first Adjala–Tosorontio allcandidates meeting. As expected, the controversial OPA #15, which would greatly increase the size of Everett, dominated the
questions at the meeting.

To no one’s surprise, OPA
#15 which would dramatically increase the size of the
village of Everett dominated
the debate at Adjala-Tosorontio’s first all candidates
meeting last week.
The meeting held in the
village’s Legion attracted
close to 200 member which
saw the township fire department restrict access to the
building and saw two dozen
people listening to the debate from the steps outside

Wednesday, October 22.
The Angus Chamber of Commerce will
be holding the first all-candidates meeting
between 5 and 9 p.m. at the township recreation complex in Angus on Wednesday,
October 15. Residents can meet and greet
candidates informally between 5 and 6
p.m. Question and answer and debate session will follow between 6 and 9 p.m.
Aware Essa will hold an informal meet
and greet session for residents to meet candidates between 6 and 6:45 p.m. at the Ivy
Orange Hall on Thursday, October 16. A
questions and answers session will follow
between 7 and 9 p.m.
Aware Essa will hold second informal
meet and greet session for residents to meet
candidates between 6 and 6:45 p.m. at the
Utopia Hall on Tuesday, October 22. Questions and answers session will follow between 7 and 9 p.m.
Mayoralty candidate Archie Duckworth
will hold the first of two debates at the
township recreation complex on Sunday,
October 19 between 2 and 5 p.m. Only the
mayoralty candidates and the council candidates for the Baxter and Angus wards. (1
and 3) have been invited to the meeting for
a question and answer agenda.
Duckworth’s second all candidates meeting will be held on Monday, October 20 at
the Thornton Arena Banquet Hall. Only the
mayoralty and candidates for the Thornton
area ward(2) are on the question and answer
agenda. The meeting runs from 7 to 9 p.m.
By RichaRd BlanchaRd
A number of missing elections signs in
Essa have reappeared after being used instead of pink flamingoes, for a prank.
Essa mayoralty candidate Terry Dowdall
found nearly a dozen of his signs stacked
an Angus resident. Apparently, about 100
election signs were moved as part of a
prank on the resident who discovered his
lawn covered with them when he woke in
the morning.
The other signs have been returned to the
candidates.
Removing, defacing or destroying election signs is an offence under the Criminal Code of Canada and those committing
such actions can be charged with a count
of mischief under $5,000. A a 66 year old
Plummer Township resident was recently
charged with the offence for removing election signs. Plummer Township is located
near Blind River.
Essa election signs
used for prank
one per resident directed
at one candidate only. Response time was limited to a
one minute answer.
Moderator Dave Pegg kept
tight control on the meeting
and banned one person from
asking a question after he
expressed too much public
commentary.
Leo Losereit, the candidate for mayor against current deputy mayor Mary
Small Brett was blunt in
assessment of the proposed
expansion of the village to
close to 7,000 people over
the next couple of decades.
“We are seeing large urban
sprawl outside (the boundaries) of the Official Plan,” he
said.
Losereit said that he felt
that Official Plan already
had made provision for
enough expansion for the
coming years with draft
plan approval of at least 500
homes north of existing development in the village.
Losereit said that the problem was only compounded
by the likelihood that existing Everett residents would
be likely required to hook
up to a new sewage plant at
a cost of upwards of $20,000
per household.
Losereit said that he would
like to see the township focus on seeing the completion of development that had
already been approved and
the development of the industrial corridor which has
been approved int he township along Highway 89.
Deputy mayor Small Brett
said that she did not support
the township withdrawing its
support of OPA #15 which
is currently before Simcoe
County for final approval.
She said that the township
is facing multiple issues including increasing monitoring of the septic systems in
Everett by the provincial
government, the continuing
problems with the New Horizon’s sewage system there
and the ongoing problems of
funding water and sewage
costs since the Walkerton
crisis in 2000.
“Whoever is elected is
going to face the situation
where we are collecting
$750,000 in water and sewer revenues and spending
$1,000,000 per year on operating our water and sewer
systems. The difference is
coming out of general revenues,” she said.
Adjala-Tosorontio
residents have some of the highest water and sewer rates in
Simcoe county at more than
$4 per cubic meter of water
used.
She promised a strategic
study if reelected to better
reflect residents views on the
future direction of the township but said that the current
township council had accomplished lots.
“We have the second lowest property rate in Simcoe
county. We have been able
to accomplish a lot with our
dedicated volunteers. And
we have to realize that the
municipality only gets to
keep 28 cents of every dollar
that it collects.”
Losereit promised if elected that he would ensure that
there was more transparency
by council from the posting
of full agendas to the township website to allowing a
more open public question
period.
“I’m going to change how
things are done,” he said.
Deputy mayor candidate
Ken Pratt said that he wanted to see council members
moved to Wednesday nights
and have the agendas posted
on the preceding Friday to
allow council and the public
greater input into issues.
Small-Brett was one of
two candidates who rejected
the videotaping or recording
of all council meetings.
“I think that it would likely dissuade those who, for
various reasons, don’t want
to be appear on camera from
appearing before council,”
she said.
Deputy mayor candidate
Ken Pratt told the audience
that he felt that the OPA 15
should be brought back by
the council.
He said that including the
monthly sewage charges
which come in with the installation of the sewers that
residents would be facing a
bill of over $30,000.
“My father used to say
figures don’t lie but liars figure,” he quipped about the
use of statistics.
Deputy mayor Doug Little
said that he supported, like
Small-Brett having further
discussions on OPA#15,
with provincial representatives and the public.
The Everett centric focus
of the meeting prompted
one resident, Cathy Cook,
to tell all candidates near the
closure of the meeting to remember that there were other issues facing the township
than the growth in Everett.
“There is an entire township. We have been swallowed up by Everett issues
tonight,” she said.
Adjala-Tosorontio candidates meet at a second allcandidates meeting at the
Upper Canada Camp south
of Hockley.
A report of that meeting
will appear in next week’s
paper.

Perryman calls Adj–Tos all candidates
meetings “undemocratic”
BY RICHARD BLANCHARD
The two all-candidates meetings organized
by the Adjala Tosorontio Residents Association were “undemocratic” because of their
restrictions on questions according to one
leading member of the Everett Ratepayers
Association.
Dave Perryman, who said that he was not
speaking on behalf of the association, said at
the conclusion of the second all-candidates
meeting that the question format at both
meetings was troubling.
At the Everett meeting, residents were limited to one question at a time to one candidate. Candidates were allowed to respond for
one minute. Residents could ask an unlimited number of questions.
At the second all-candidates meeting held
south of Hockley, residents were allowed to
ask the same question to two candidates who
were each allowed to speak for a maximum
of one minute each. Residents, at the second
meeting, were restricted to a maximum of
four questions during the night.
“I would have much preferred the format
used in Mono township where a maximum
of three candidates were initially asked to
answer the initial question. And other candidates were allowed to comment on the question if they so wished,” said Perryman.
“The restriction on the number of candidates who were allowed to answer a question,
I find undemocratic. I think that allowing the
questions to be answered by all candidates,
if they wanted to answer them, would have
allowed more answers to the questions that
the residents have.”
Perryman said that he it was premature
to say if additional all-candidates meetings
might be arranged prior to the election.

Coyotes win in
overtime
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Alliston Coyotes won their fourth game of the season in a comeback victory that saw the team trailing by
two goals in the first period of their Thursday night (Oct.
9) game against the Parry Sound Islanders.
The Coyotes were reeling after a first period that had the
Islanders leading 4–2 at the end of the frame.
Coyotes goals came from Timotej Kocar and Austin
Cunningham.
After the break, the Alliston squad returned to the ice
and pulled it together scoring two to tie the game at four
and shutting down the Parry Sound attack to make it a 20
minute game going into the final period.
Second period Alliston goals came from Andrej Jamnicky and Viacheslav Chegrintcev.
Both teams battled hard in the third to get the edge with
Alliston’s Chegrintcev notching the tie breaker late in the
period.
Parry Sound tied it up with a goal just over a minute
later to make it a race to beat the clock, but neither team
could score and the game went into overtime to decide the
winner.
Coyotes forward Kaleb Rossel scored the winning goal
at 15:28 into the overtime period to give the Alliston squad
their fourth win of the season.
Early in the season the Coyotes are riding on a 4-4 record
for a seventh place standing in the Greater Metro Hockey
League’s South Division.
The Coyotes will return to home ice at the New Tecumseth Recreation Complex on Thursday, October 16, to host
the Niagara Whalers.
The puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The Alliston Junior C Hornets win their sixth game of the season Friday night (Oct. 10) at the New Tecumseth Recreation
Centre, hammering the Huntsville Otters 10–1. The Hornets followed up with a 3–1 win over Erin on Saturday.
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Alliston Hornets delivered a major setback to
the Huntsville Otters on
Friday night (Oct. 10) when
they left the ice at the New
Tecumseth Recreation Centre with a 10–1 win over the
visitors.
The Otters had climbed
to third place winning five
games this season after rebounding from a dismal outing last season when they
managed to win only eight
games all year.
The Hornets put the brakes
on the Huntsville attack
leading 2–1 at the end of the
first period.
Going into the second
frame the Alliston squad unleashed a blitzkrieg notching
five goals before the buzzer
sounded to end the period.
Three more Alliston shots
hit the back of the net in the
final 20 minutes to end the
game and drop the Otters
down to fourth place behind
the Schomberg Cougars.
The Hornets followed up
on the weekend with a trip
to Erin to take on the Shamrocks and left with a 3–0
win.
After a scoreless first period, the Hornets got the

hard but with less than three
minutes to go in the second
the Stingers stung again with
two more quick goals. They
keep the pressure on in the
third and had five more un-

coming as managed to put
two more in the net but it
wasn’t enough and the game

County: single use batteries
The County of Simcoe is
launching a new used battery collection program to
increase convenience for
residents and ensure the environmentally responsible
management of single use
batteries.
“County Council is committed to improving services, providing efficiencies,
and ensuring that we are
protecting our environment
for future generations,” said
Warden Cal Patterson. “This
new program provides a
convenient way to ensure
proper management of bat-
teries and aligns with the
County’s objectives to improve waste management
services and increase waste
diversion practices.”
Battery collection will occur during the week of November 3, 2014 only. Battery bags must be placed
curbside for collection in a
visible location beside (not
inside) the recycling box on
residents’ regularly scheduled collection day. Disposable battery bags, with instructions, will be mailed to
households throughout Simcoe County in mid-October.
Disposable battery bags are
also available at County of
Simcoe Waste Management
Facilities or local municipal
offices.
The program is for single
use batteries only, including
type AAA, AA, C, D, 9 volt
and button batteries commonly used for hearing aids
and watches. Rechargeable
batteries, cell phone and lap
top batteries, car, industrial
and battery packs are NOT
accepted in the program, but
may be taken to any County
of Simcoe household hazardous waste facility for
safe, free disposal.
Collected batteries will
be consolidated and sent
for processing to an Ontario
company who separates the
various components of the
batteries, with approximately 90 per cent of the battery
components being recycled.
“It is important to ensure
that batteries are managed
responsibly,” said Rob McCullough, Director of Solid
Waste Management, County
of Simcoe. “Batteries should
not be tossed in the garbage
as they can negatively impact the environment. We
look forward to offering this
new, convenient service to
residents.”
For more information
about the single use battery
collection week, please contact County of Simcoe Customer Service at 705 7356901 or visit simcoe.ca

Tottenham Public School students fill the food bank
BY BRIan LOCkhaRT
They were enthusiastic
about their mission and they
learned why there is a food
bank in their community.
The entire student body
of Tottenham Public school
marched through the streets
of town to deliver a gift to
the Our Town Food Bank on
Thursday, October 9.
They not only made the
trek to help fill the shelves at
the local food bank, it gave
them an opportunity to learn
why there is a food bank in
Tottenham and what happens when they bring in donations to the school.
The school has held food
drives before but this is the
first time the students made
the delivery themselves.
They had some help from
the fire fighters at Station 3
in Tottenham who arrived
with an official department
truck and took the donations that were to heavy to
carry for the walk to the food
bank.
The event was spearheaded by Ms. Beatty’s Grade
2/3 class who wore special
hats for the occasion and did
a presentation to all the other
Halloween is just around
the corner, and Museum on
the Boyne (MOB) is celebrating the occasion with
a variety of hair raising programs for the whole family.
Children can spend their
PA Day preparing themselves for the night of fright
at our Happy Halloween
program on Monday, October 27.
Kids will get the chance
to make creepy crafts, play
ghoulish games and a variety
of other spine tingling activities. This program runs from
9 a.m. – 4 p.m. and costs
$25.
Your preschoolers can get
in on the fun as well in our
Monster Mash program on
Tuesday, October 28.
This one hour program lets
little ones practice a variety
of skills needed for school,
as well as enable them to express their creativity with an
assortment of activities that
are sure to be a scream.
On Halloween night, bring
the whole family together
and head to the Museum between 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. for our
Haunted Night at the Museum program, where we will
be opening the doors of all
three of our heritage buildings.
Trick or treat between the
sites and listen to the tales of
all the ghostly happenings in
each. This program is free
and open to all ages.
If you would like more
information on these programs, or would like to become a Museum Member,
please call the museum at

classes the previous day to
remind them to bring in their
donations.
“It’s hard for some young
children to understand what
it means to have to go to
the food bank and to not
have any food at home,”
explained Tottenham Public School Principal Susan
Nixon of how the event is
a learning experience for
the children. “Today we are
giving back to our community. We have many needy
families in Tottenham and
this is an opportunity for our
students to really experience
first hand what the food bank
is all about.”
The enthusiasm for the
food drive began grow when
Ms. Beatty’s class held a
mini pep rally the day before
the walk.
“Yesterday, Ms. Beatty’s
class were the cheerleaders and they went to every
classroom and sang a song
and encouraged students to
remember their donations,”
said Ms. Nixon. “It’s a wonderful character building and
community building event.
And I love the leadership
opportunity for our older
students.”
Younger students were
paired with older kids in
Grades 6, 7, and 8, called
‘big buddies’ who walked
to the food bank together
to make sure everyone was
kept safe.
While the walk to the
food bank may have been
a fun break from the regular school day, it was also
a valuable real life learning
experience for the kids.

Flora Jean Cameron
Matthews (nee Gilchrist)
1928-2014
Jean Matthews ~ devoted wife, mother, daughter and sister; Olympic figure skating judge;
teacher; arbiter of style and design; and cheerful good friend, died suddenly at her home in
Tottenham, Ontario on October 8, 2014. Jean
was born in Toronto to James and Jean Gordon
Gilchrist, the youngest sister of Christina, Gordon, Donald and Morag. She was educated at
Brown School, Harbord Collegiate, University of
Toronto (Trinity College) and Queen¹s University.
She spent two years in Paris studying at L’Institut d¹Etudes Politiques, where
she developed her love for fine food, good conversation and all that the world
had to offer. She reluctantly returned to Toronto in 1953 and began work at a
stockbroker¹s office with a view to earning her way back to Europe. She was
diverted, however, by John Matthews, a dashing Australian doctoral student,
who whisked her off to the snows of Winnipeg. It was there that Jean started
her family and became the loving and nurturing mother she continued to be for
the rest of her life.
The family moved to Kingston in 1962 where Jean rekindled her love of figure
skating. She became an accomplished judge who was known for her skill, fairness, and integrity. She approached each competition with a mix of excitement
and apprehension, whether it was a Pre-Novice B club event, or the ‘Battle of
the Brians’ at the 1988 Olympics. In recognition of her accomplishments, Jean
was invited to judge numerous International, Worlds and Olympic events and,
in 2004, was inducted into the Kingston Sports Hall of Fame.
In addition to her judging, Jean found time to obtain her B.Ed., embark on a
teaching career, and take care of her family. She loved a good party, and knew
how to host one, as generations of Queen’s students and faculty can attest.
John¹s death in 1996 was a difficult blow, as was her son Peter¹s in 2005. Jean
lost her best friend and sister Morag in 2012 but her overriding optimism and
good nature saw her through, as she very much enjoyed her last years living
in her ancestral home in Tottenham. Jean leaves behind her children Rosalie
and Christopher (Liz); her daughter-in-law Sharon; brother Donald (Christiane);
seven grandchildren, Anne (Nathan) and Jane, Cameron and Miles, Emily, Katie
and Jack; two great grandchildren, Aiden and Madeleine;
and nieces and nephew, Nancy Ann, Donald (Jeanne) and Jean Gilchrist. The
family thank Edna Mundiguing for her care and support over the past year.
A celebration of Jean¹s life was held on Wednesday, October 15 at 11:00am at
Trinity College Chapel, University of Toronto, 6 Hoskin Avenue. Donations to the
Heart & Stroke Foundation or to the Class of 5T0 bursary at Trinity College are
appreciated.

NTCK–CCW meeting doesn’t deliver for Tottenham residents
By WeNdy GaBreK
On Tuesday, October 7th,
the group ‘New Tecumseth,
Caledon, King – Citizens
for Clean Water’ or NTCK–
CCW held a municipal
candidates meeting at the
Tottenham Legion branch,
welcoming candidates for
Mayor, Deputy Mayor and
Wards 6, 7, and 8.
NTCK–CCW had provided three questions to each of
the candidates in advance of
the meeting, each question
concerning the fill quality at
the Tottenham Airfield (previously known as the Volk
Airport) and its impact (if
contaminated) on the environment. Soil, water and the
clear cutting of trees was on
the evenings agenda – with
each candidate given the opportunity to speak to two of
the three questions.
Rick Milne, the current
deputy mayor and mayoralty
candidate in the 2014 election, was the first to speak
on the issue of fill.
Milne said there was no
“unknown fill” being delivered to the Volk site, adding
the town’s existing by-law
was being upheld to the letter.
Mayoralty candidate, and
current Ward 1 councillor,
Bob Marrs was next to speak
on the subject. Marrs said
that what was happening on
the site was a federal issue,
however the Town of New
Tecumseth could “beef-up”
its existing by-law at some
point. He also said he would
arrange for a peer review of
the MOE’s findings regarding soil testing.
Mayoralty candidate Kevin Kemp spoke next. Kemp
said it was “inexcusable”
that the Town had not been
enforcing its own by-laws
and that the current by-law
didn’t include water testing,
before, during and after fill
operations.
Damon Corbet, candidate
for mayor, spoke next. As a
water worker Corbet referenced the Source Water Protection Plan and said, “It’s
already in place, we should
be doing something about
this.”
Candidate for Deputy
Mayor Glen O’Leary said he
had a problem with the truck
traffic associated with the
fill site and said there was a
need for test wells, amongst
other things.
Peter Barbati, candidate
for Deputy Mayor, referenced the Burlington case
and said that we need to,
“strengthen our by-law” and
conduct our own fill testing.
Deputy mayor candidate,
and current Ward 2 councillor Jamie Smith did not
speak on the first issue, but
got involved during round
two.
Smith said he had been to
the site and that the legal advice the town had received to
date was accurate as the bylaw stands, however the bylaw needed to be changed,
and then enforced.
As the Ward candidates
came forward, the same
points were reiterated. The
need for increased site testing; the enforcement of existing by-laws; the need for
additional site sampling;
stiffer penalties for by-law
violators; clear permit testing procedures; required
dust and erosion control
measures; protection of the
water supply; and preventing unwanted fill from landing in New Tecumseth in the
first place.
As questions 2 and 3 were
asked, and answers presented, the crowd was becoming
notably agitated, looking for
an opportunity to question
their candidates on issues re-

lating to subjects other than
the Tottenham Airfield.
The mud-slinging started
when the Q&A Period began
– both by members of the
audience, and amongst the
candidates themselves.
Questions relating to: recording voting procedures in
council chambers; campaign
contributions from developers (of which Bob Marrs,
Jim Stone and Rick Milne
stood up and admitted to
receiving); the formation of
coalitions/alliances (referring to the New Tecumseth
Citizens Coalition – look for
a full report in The Times
next week); transparency
in government; roads and
maintenance; the central
placement of town facilities
and even what exhibits were
on display at the Museum on
the Boyne.
The meeting ended on
time at 9 p.m., with many
left scratching their heads.
It is unclear if another
meeting for the southern
wards will be held this close
to the election, although one
resident has shown an interest. The Times has offered
to moderate. For now, if you
have questions for your ward
candidate and candidates for
mayor and deputy mayor
make them public – submit

World Polio Day: Oct. 24th
Many of us paused on In- kind of lasting peace – the
ternational Peace Day on total eradication of polio.
September 21st to reflect
There are only three enon the fragile state of the demic countries where polio
world’s security and to wres- has never been eradicated
tle with how to win the fight – Afghanistan, Nigeria, and
for global peace, a peace Pakistan. The major cause
based on cooperation and for the virus to live is securelationships built on trust, rity; violence in all three of
tolerance and respect.

committee and a long-time
champion of the eradication
effort, is optimistic about
our chances to finish it soon.
These are his ten reasons
to believe that we are “this
close”:
1. This year India, along
with 10 other countries in
South East Asia, were CERTIFIED polio free. Now 80
per-cent of the world’s parents need never worry again
of having a child become
crippled for life.
2. The world knows how
to eradicate polio. Consider
that there are only three
countries where polio is still
endemic and two of the three
— Nigeria and Afghanistan
— have markedly declining
cases.
3. Polio types 2 and 3 have
been eradicated and only
Type 1 remains.
4. Pakistan is the only
country remaining with rising numbers of infection,
and this is due to a ban on
vaccination in some areas in
the north of the country.
5. Despite the outbreak in
Pakistan with 117 cases out
of 149, the total numbers
this year to date are 35 fewer
worldwide.
6. In Syria, despite the
unrest, good vaccination
rounds have been held and
only one case reported since
early January.
7. Funding is significantly bullish, with $5 billion
pledged out of a budget of
$5.5 billion.
8. Rotarians continue to
support the program in a tremendously generous manner, At least $35 million is
granted to the program by
Rotary in order to receive
$70 million each year from
the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation
for
further
grants.
9. Rotarians continue to
support National Immunization Days on the ground in
many different ways.
10. A Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) has been
declared by WHO which
insists that all travellers
from Pakistan, Cameroon,
Equatorial Guinea and Syria
must have a valid certificate
of polio vaccination before
leaving the country. This is
very positive step to prevent
further “export” of polio
from Pakistan, in particular,
especially to Middle East
countries.
To mark World Polio Day,
Alliston Rotarians will raise
the End Polio Now flag at the
New Tecumseth township
office on Wellington Street
in Alliston on Friday, October 24th at 10 a.m. Please
join us in support of our
continued efforts to heighten
awareness of the seriousness
of this issue.
His Worship Mayor Mike
MacEachern has proclaimed
the week of October 24th
to 31st as End Polio Now
Week. The flag will fly that
week as a reminder to all
who pass by that our efforts
continue.
If you would like to contribute and help Rotarians to
access matching funds from
The Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation, visit www.rotary.org and follow the links.
You will receive a tax receipt
for your donation.
The world is “This Close”
to “Ending Polio Now!”
With your awareness and financial support, we can end
this and ensure that our children will never have to suffer from this crippling, and
sometimes deadly, disease.
