Banting Legacy Week a success at Homestead
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Mayor Mike MacEachern raises the Sir Frederick Banting Legacy Foundation (SFBLF) ﬂag and ofﬁcially declares November
10–15th Banting Legacy Week in New Tecumseth.
BY WENDY GABREK
The Sir Frederick Banting
Legacy Foundation celebrated ‘Banting Legacy Week’
from November 10–15 in
Alliston.
Events took place over
three days and included a
ﬂag raising ceremony, a
lecture and the ‘Go Blue
for Breakfast’ event – all in
support of the International
Diabetes Federation and the
‘Healthy Living & Diabetes’
Campaign (2014–2016).
Sir Frederick Banting,
born in Alliston on November 14, 1891, was the co-
discoverer of insulin and
Canada’s ﬁrst Nobel Laureate. Banting served in both
World Wars as a medical
ofﬁcer and was among the
very ﬁrst to sign-up on both
occasions. He won the Military Cross for bravery under
ﬁre in WW1. He was killed
in an ill-fated plane crash
while on war service during
WW2 en route to England
when his plane crashed into
the east coast of Newfoundland on February 20, 1941.
‘Banting Legacy Week’
took place at the Diabetes
Management and Educa-
tion Centre at the Banting
Homestead Heritage Park
(located at (5116 Sir Frederick Banting Road, Alliston)
and began on Monday, November 10th where Mayor
Mike MacEachern raised the
SFBLF Flag to kick off the
week, and the Town of New
Tecumseth has ofﬁcially declared November 10-15th
Banting Legacy Week.
On Wednesday, November
12th, the 3rd Annual Banting

took place at The Gibson

WHITE STARS DAZZLE AT CHRISTMAS – These stars,
made from folded sheets of white paper, may look like simple Christmas ornaments, but there’s nothing simple about
them. Hand-made by the late Paula Wien, these stars are
a type of Polish origami, a paper folding technique known
as Wycinanki that results in amazing shapes and images
of all kinds. Wien left hundreds of the threaded stars to her
daughter Heidi LeBlanc, who is now selling them (we discovered these amazing paper crafts at the Holly Tea held
at the Anglican Church in Tottenham last weekend). The
stars require special paper (that stays pristine and white
over time) cut in a very special way – a Polish secret Wien
took to her grave, teaching only the folding technique to
LeBlanc’s friend Marg Jowett before she passed away. The
stars sell for 10/$5 or 100/$25. To purchase, call LeBlanc at
905 936-3522.
New/Used Christmas
sale at St. Andrews
The members and adherents of St. Andrews Presbyterian
Church, Beeton, are opening their doors to the community on
Saturday December 6th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. They are hosting
a new/used Christmas sale, with Christmas decorations, special items, a children’s table, yummy home baking and lots of
hot drinks to warm you on a cold December day. The church
is 123 years old and the roof has had to be repaired. The inside
of the sanctuary has been damaged as a result of the leaky roof
and all monies raised at this sale will go towards ﬁxing the
sanctuary. It is located on Main Street, one block east of Dayfoot Street on the north side. Come on out, get some of your
shopping done, enjoy a hot drink, take home some yummy
homemade baking and then enjoy the Beeton Santa Claus Parade. See you there!

Dear editor:
The Rotary Club of Alliston Diamond Anniversary
Gala ended in great excitement as the club unveiled
the conceptual drawings of
the expansion to the Splashpad in Riverdale Park in Alliston.
For 60 years the Rotary
Club of Alliston has been
working with partners in
the community to provide
excellent facilities for families and children. The Club’s
first project in the community was the Rotary Pool. On
the Club’s 50th Anniversary
Dear editor,
The federal Conservative
government will forgo a
surplus this year and instead
borrow money to pay for
income-splitting and other
new tax measures, according to its own fall economic
update.
In the last two months the
Conservatives announced
more than $3 billion in tax
changes for this year, including an expensive incomesplitting scheme. If they had
followed the plan laid out
by the late Jim Flaherty, the
federal budget would have
a small surplus this year in-
stead of a $3 billion deficit.
Earlier this year, Mr. Flaherty called on the Conservatives to abandon their
income-splitting
scheme,
saying “I think income-splitting needs a long, hard analytical look … to see who it
affects and to what degree,
because I’m not sure that
overall, it benefits our society.”
He was right. The Conservatives’ new incomesplitting scheme (which they
call “the Family Tax Cut”)
won’t give a dime to more
than 85 percent of Canadian
households. But it will cost
Canadians $2.4 billion this
year alone.
We don’t think it’s fair to
ask middle class families to
pay to give families like the
Prime Minister’s a $2,000
tax break. A Liberal government would focus on helping the middle class instead.
The economic update also
showed that the growth rate
for the Canadian economy
will slow down each and
every year between 2015
and 2019--and that the recent Conservative tax measures will do nothing to turn
it around. That’s not good
enough. It’s time for the government to change course,
focus on the economy, and
start putting Canadian jobs
and growth ahead of politics.
“Income–splitting needs a
long, hard analytical look”
Freedom repaid?
Dear editor:
I’d like to say a few words about Remembrance Day and
the freedom we have achieved by the men that died for it.
I lived through the War but was too young to be a part of
it, but my father was.
All I have heard through the years are shootings, stabbings, gangs and drugs. We now have more security in Ottawa, more security in schools and cameras everywhere!
Freedom!
I have a good friend who was in the Air Force during the
War. He was a gunner. I was visiting him last week. He had
been moved from Brampton nursing home to the ‘Avalon
Nursing Home’ in Orangeville.
I was absolutely appalled at the room he was in. Four
men in a dark dingy room that smelled. He was the only
War Vet in the room. I am sorry to say I was pretty disgusted if that is the way some Vets are treated.
I just had to say something.

our project was the Adventure Playground in Riverdale Park. This adventure
playground started as a modest $85,000 project and with
community support grew to
a $365,000 redevelopment
of the playground.
Now in our 60th year the
Rotary club is pleased to
be continuing this legacy of
facilities in Riverdale Park
for families with the expansion of the splash-pad, the
addition of sun shelters and
the creation of walkways
that will connect all 3 fa-
cilities in the park. Rotary
has committed $100,000 to
the project and the Town of
New Tecumseth has joined
us with matching funding of
$100,000.
The Diamond Anniversary Gala was the start of the
public funding campaign for
the project. Kicking off the
fundraising was a donation
from the Nottawasaga Foundation and the auctioning of
two unique items associated
with the splash-pad. Three
groups were successful bidders on customized lily pads.
Thanks go to KD Wray Professional Corporation, TD
Waterhouse, Alliston – Debbie Hudson and Ernie Dean
Chevrolet Buick GMC for
their generous donations.
The final auction item of
the evening was the opportunity to be first to push the
button to the splash pad at
the Grand Opening in 2015.
Trillium Ford, Alliston was
the winning bidder.
More than $15,000 was
raised for the project that
evening.
The Rotary Club is actively looking for partners to
assist in funding the project.
Anyone interested in making
a donation or contributing
with in-kind service or materials can contact the 60th
Anniversary Project Chair,
Patricia Middlebrook at 705

County moves ahead on new paramedic stations
RICHARD BLANCHARD
Simcoe County council
has given its approval to
moving ahead on the construction of two new paramedic stations in Beeton
and Alliston in 2015 despite
cost overruns at the new Alliston location.
Simcoe County councillors gave their approval at
their second meeting to review the 2015 budget last
week but the ﬁnal approval
will have to come from the
new set of county councillors elected this fall and who
will take ofﬁce on December
1.
The
additional nearly
$800,000 needed to be complete the stations will be
coming from the county’s
paramedic capital reserve

and development charges
funds.
New Tecumseth mayor
Mike MacEachern who
moved the motion to move
ahead with the construction
told councillors that in light
of the recent announcement
by Honda Canada $870 million on upgrading its plant
and the growth in population that both stations were
needed as soon as possible.
His motion was supported
by Adjala-Tosorontio deputy
mayor Mary Small Brett.
A variety of factors pushed
up the cost of the two facilities. Jane Sinclair, General
Manager, Health and Emergency Services for the county told councillors that both
facilities had to be enlarged
because of the requirement
for larger spaces at both
Beeton and Alliston sites
and signiﬁcant grading and
site upgrading at the Alliston
property.
“The bids were higher than
expected,” said Sinclair.

MAYOR MIKE GETS A GOODBYE PARTY – A retirement party was held for Mayor Mike
MacEachern last Friday night at the Muddy Water Tavern in Beeton. Mike MacEachern has
served the Town of New Tecumseth for the past 11 years as mayor, and was a councillor
before that. The party, hosted by Derek Bradley and Beeton councillor Richard Norcross, was
a way for friends of the mayor to say their goodbyes as Mr. MacEachern departs municipal
politics (he did not run in the 2014 Municipal Election). MacEachern isn’t leaving politics all
together, however, as he recently announced he is seeking the Federal Liberal Nomination for
Simcoe–Grey. The Times asked Mayor Mike if he had any advice for the incoming council (to
be sworn in on Dec. 1st) and he said, “Just remember, you’re there to serve the people and
manage the interests of the town. Be open to new ideas and new directions”.

Bear Toss’ again
BY WENDY GABREK
Instead of roses, fans of the Alliston Hornets will be
throwing teddy bears onto the ice during the second intermission of the Friday, December 5th game.
The bears, named ‘Scrubs’, are miniature mascots of the
Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation. They can be
purchased from hospital staff at the NTRC for $15 (prior
to the toss) and then thrown onto the ice – where they will
be collected for distribution to children who come into the
hospital’s emergency department.
Funds from the Teddy Bear Toss will be used towards
the purchase of priority equipment for Stevenson Memorial Hospital.
Currently, the Foundation has a goal of raising $600,000
to fund a new Cardiac Monitoring System in the Emergency Room and In-Patient Unit.
“Whether the hospital is purchasing a new patient bed
or a digital x-ray machine it is the responsibility of the
Foundation to provide funding for that new piece of equipment with support from the community and its donors. The
Ontario government only pays for operating costs such as
staff salaries and medical procedures. The Hospital and the
Foundation meet regularly throughout the year and work
closely together to ensure the needs of the hospital are always met,” said a hospital representative.
“This is a great event that the Hornets are behind 100 per
cent,” said Hornets head coach Clay Birkett. “We would
like to see everyone come out to support our local hospital.”
Proceeds from bear sales will go back to the hospital
through sponsorship provided by the Walton Group and
Drysdale’s Tree Farm.

Walsh says farewell at
Adj–Tos council
BY RICHARD BLANCHARD
Adjala-Tosorontio mayor Tom Walsh had a few words
on his almost 30 years on township to say as he concluded
his ﬁnal regular meeting last Monday.
“I want to thank council and the residents. One can’t be
good if you don’t have a good council and residents. They
have to show their support... And the staff has been terriﬁc
over the years.”
Walsh said that he was pleased with the progress that the
township has made during his time on council which included a successful ﬁght against a new county landﬁll site,
a new municipal ofﬁce and improvements throughout the
township.
Walsh said that many municipalities in the county envy
the township’s ﬁnancial position with its low tax rate Walsh
said that he has always argued that the township should
try to live within its means.
“If you don’t have the money, don;’t buy it,” he said.
“It has been a honour to serve. I will miss some things
but not the phone calls at 5:30 a.m. when I am in the barn
milking the cows but those calls have allowed one to get
the jump on things.”
Walsh said that he has learned that “one can’t please everyone but I have tried to listen to all.
The mayor also paid tribute to his wife, Mary, for all her
help and support during this time on council.
Walsh was presented with a clock by council and a reception followed the council meeting.

secondary school students
in the Mpumalanga District
of South Africa,” said Dave
Green, Rotary Club of Alliston representative.
The container held 700

Coyotes lose home
game to Temiscaming
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
They battled back but the Alliston Coyotes had to settle
for a 6–2 loss to the Temiscaming Titans at the New Tecumseth Recreation Complex on Thursday, November 13.
After taking a 1–0 lead in the ﬁrst period, Temsicaming
took control of the ice in the second frame scoring three
goals to a single by Alliston.
The Coyotes goal came from Andrej Jamnicky at the
14:11 mark in the period.
Alliston’s Viacheslav Chegrintcev notched another Coyotes goal early in the ﬁnal period, but the Titans coasted to
a win with two more goals to end the game.
The loss leaves the Coyotes right in the middle of the
pack in the South Division of the Greater Metro Hockey
League with a 10–9 record and 20 points for the season.
Over all the Tottenham Steam has showed no signs of
slowing and are leading the Division and the League with
34 points and have taken only a single loss after 18 games.
The Toronto Ice Jets are in second place in the South with
30 points, followed by the Toronto Attack with 28 in the
points column.
With the season approaching the mid-way mark, there’s
still lots of time for teams to shift around in the standings.
The Coyotes don’t have any road games this week.
They will return to home ice on Thursday, November 20,
to host the Bradford Rattlers.
The puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The Tottenham Steam host the North York Renegades at the Tottenham arena on Monday, November 17. The Steam left the
ice with an 11–0 shut-out after taking a six goal lead in the ﬁrst period.
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Tottenham Steam added four more points to their
total with a pair of games
that netted the squad a whopping 29 goals over two days
and moved them ﬁve points
ahead of the second place
Tamiscaming Titans.
The squad travelled to
Meaford on Sunday, November 16, to face the Knights,
and left the ice with the win
after dominating for the full
thee periods.
Scoring three in the ﬁrst
frame to take the lead, the
game was pretty much over
at the end of the second period when the Steam notched
six unanswered goals to lead
9–0 going into the ﬁnal 20
minutes.
The third period was a disaster for Meaford when the
Tottenham squad kept up the
attack and ﬁnished the game
with a nine goal blitz to leave
the ice with an 18–1 win.
The return to Tottenham
for a home game on Monday,
produced the same results,
only this time the Steam
didn’t allow a single goal
and shut-out North York.
The Steam took over in the
ﬁrst period scoring six goals
and barely letting the North
Squad out of their end.
After notching a single in
the second period, the Tottenham team returned for
the ﬁnal frame and delivered
a coupe de grace with four
more goals to end the game
11–0.
The wins keep the Tottenham team ﬁrmly in place in
the Greater Metro Hockey
League.
In the South Division, the
Steam are six points ahead
of the Toronto Ice Jets and
eight points ahead of the
third place Toronto Attack.
The Steam will be on the
road for a couple of games
before returning to home ice
at Tottenham arena on Saturday, November 29, to host
the Rama Aces.
The puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 pm.

‘Toys for Tickets’ returning to New Tecumseth in 2014
By WeNdy GaBrek
Once again this year,
the Town of New Tecumseth will let you pay parking tickets with new, unwrapped toys.
The Annual ‘Toys for
Tickets’ program, now in
its seventh year, will re-
turn in time for the holiday
season, and is sure to make
a child very happy this
Christmas.
How it works: residents
can pay parking tickets
(excluding those issued for
accessible parking violations) with a toy instead of
cash.
“From Monday, December 1 to Friday, December
5, 2014 only, the Town of
New Tecumseth is accepting toys or gift certificates
as payment for your parking ticket,” said a town
representative. “Purchase
a toy and bring it in its
original packaging along
with the receipt to the Administration Centre that is
of equal or greater value of
the parking ticket.”
Parking tickets issued
from November 20th or
later are eligible for the
week-long campaign.
The New Tecumseth
Administration Centre is
located at 10 Wellington
St. E., in Alliston and open
from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

inspirational lines, sharing their
own personal life experiences.
The primary awards delivered
featured honours for students
achieving 80% or more. Other
awards included receiving top
marks in a class, outstanding
performance in an area of study,
achieving 40 hours of volunteer
work (or more!) in grade 9, and

year were, Kerstyn Dobbs
(grade 9), Valerie Binder (grade
10) and Konar Smith (grade 11)

Savage (grade 10), and Amanda
Fogh (grade 11). Finally gold

the incredibly modernized academic spirit prevalent through
our great new high school.
32 toys and two gift certificates valued at almost

you feel the pain and the hardship of so many. And it was a
ceremony filled with respect. It
was hard not to feel the lump
in your throat when O’Canada
was sang by a student accompanied by a guitar and
the military presence saluting our flag. Major Dan Dan
Duran is right, the students
from Nottawasaga Pines
School should be proud of
their efforts.
Nottawasaga Pines High
School hosted two student led
ceremonies on Remembrance
Day, November 11th. Both
ceremonies were attended
by military representation;
Commander Mike Thompson,
Captain Rob Bunguay and Major Dan Dan Duran who was a
guest speaker at the presentation.
Major Dan Dan Duran
understands from personal
experience the sacrifice a
soldier makes when leaving
their family and friends behind
when they are deployed. He
joined the military right out of
grade 12 and has done two
tours in Afghanistan and one
tour of Iraq. His speech did
not divulge gory details of his
military experience. He did not
feel it fitting to share that.
But he did say “when times
are tough it is the love and
respect of the nation that
keeps us going.” He gave
credit to the students for
their Remembrance Day
efforts. “This is a ceremony
that you should be proud
of” said Major Dan Dan
Duran.

Battery collection a success in Simcoe County
Paramedic Services
kick–off 2014 Toy Drive
BY WEnDY GaBREk
County of Simcoe Paramedic Services celebrated the kick off
of its 12th Annual Holiday Toy Drive on November 14th.
The Toy Drive benefits local children and families during the
holiday season. Donations of new, unwrapped toys will be accepted at various locations and parades across Simcoe County
from November 14 until December 19.
“All Toy Drive donations are distributed to local children and
families in need by charitable organizations working in partnership with Simcoe County Paramedic Services. Residents are being asked once again for their continued generosity and support in
helping those most in need in our region.”
The 2013 Toy Drive was extremely successful, with 8,966 toys
collected, $13,389.70 in monetary donations made, and 2,334
pounds of food for families across Simcoe County.
County of Simcoe Paramedic Services hope to exceed last
year’s totals.
This year, donations can be made at all Simcoe County Paramedic stations, where outdoor drop boxes are available (do not
leave monetary donations in drop boxes – only food items and
new, unwrapped toys) including three New Tecumseth locations:
4988 Dean Drive, Alliston; 5988 Main Street East, Beeton; and 44
Mill Street East, Tottenham.
The 2014 Paramedic Services Toy Drive will also be collecting
donations at numerous parades and events across Simcoe County
throughout the holiday season.
PhOTO SuBmITTED
SuGaRTOnES COnTInuES TO WOW lOCal auDIEnCES – The Sugartones, a women’s acapella choir, performed at Riverwood Retirement Suites a few weeks ago.
Sugartones has an upcoming performance at the Tottenham Garden Club on Thursday, November 20th, at the Tottenham Fire Hall on Mill Street. Dinner at 7 p.m., entertainment for an hour starting at 8 p.m.
The County of Simcoe’s
curbside battery collection
week wrapped up last Friday, and the County’s preliminary totals indicate that
the program was a huge success.
“Our preliminary counts
indicate that we collected
over 20,000 kilograms of
batteries, which represents
over a half million batteries,
during the collection week,”
said Rob McCullough, Director of Solid Waste Management for the County.
“While we won’t receive
the final totals until all batteries are processed, we are
very pleased with participation levels. The quantities
collected are almost double
what we expected based on
other programs that operate
in Ontario.”
Collected batteries have
been consolidated and will
be sent to an Ontario processor for recycling.
The Guinness World Record for the most batteries
collected during a 24-hour
period is held by Durham
Region. Without aiming for
this target, the County of
Simcoe fell just short despite
having a significantly smaller population than Durham
Region.
Batteries thrown in the
garbage can have a negative impact on the environment. As such, the County
is reminding residents who
missed the 2014 battery collection week that batteries
can be brought to a Simcoe
County household hazardous waste facility throughout the year for safe, free
recycling.
The County plans to run
the battery collection week
program again in November
2015.
“During this term, County Council has supported
a number of programs that
have led to enhanced solid
waste management services
for our residents,” said Warden Cal Patterson. “These
programs have created cost
savings, greater efficiencies,
and most importantly we are
implementing initiatives that
are environmentally responsible.”

collection week, and other

programs, please contact

suPPort the adhs, adoPt or donate today! – The Alliston & District
Humane Society (ADHS) has many animals in its care looking for their forever
homes. The Tosorontio-based shelter is
home to cats, kittens, dogs, and a variety
of small animals – including guinea pigs,
hamsters, rats, bunnies and gerbils. Often,
these animals are purchased for children
without understanding the commitment of
care required. When this happens, animals
are often abandoned or even “dumped” at
the shelter. This holiday season, if you’re
thinking about getting a pet for your child
consider adopting. The ADHS shelter, located at 5545 Concession Road 4 in Tos
(north of Hwy. 89), is open the second and
fourth Saturday of the month from noon until 4 p.m. For more information visit www.
allistonhumane.com or call 705 458-9038.
Donations of food, cleaning supplies, and
cash are always appreciated as well! Pictured: ‘Fluff’ is just one of the many cats
available for adoption.

JAK Fund begins positive work
Photo Submitted
A cheque for $2000 was recently presented to My Sister’s
Place by Geoff Keogh (Justin’s father), Rochelle Keogh (JAK
Fund President), Paul Keogh (JAK Fund Treasurer) and Martina Keogh (JAK Fund Secretary)
Turning tragedy into positivity is what the Keogh family are doing with the inception of the new not-for-profit
organization JAK Fund. The
Justin Alexander Keogh
(JAK) Fund was established
with the aim of carrying out
Justin Alexander Keogh’s
wish to counsel local youth
and to help them make forward strides in their lives.
Unfortunately, Justin’s life
ended tragically on January
13th, 2013 in an automobile
accident. After his death,
family and friends took it
upon themselves to continue Justin’s dream, and they
established the JAK Fund
which is a registered not for
profit incorporation.
Throughout his short life,
Justin was the friend that oth-
ers depended on for support
and advice, as was evident
by the outpouring of support at the time of his death.
Justin also depended on this
network of friends and family, as through his teens it
became clear that there was
not a local support system for
teens.
It was a struggle for Justin to stay in school, but he
was making progress, and he
had not lost sight of his goal
to assist youth in need. Although Justin made choices
that those who loved him
may not have agreed with, he
was determined and adamant
that there were youth that he
could help, and he was going
to achieve his goal.
After Justin’s death, it
seemed natural that the best
way to honour his life would
be to carry out his dream and
support causes that he would
either have utilized himself
or known someone to have
used. These would include,
but would not be limited to
the local food banks, shelters and programs that assist
youth who are struggling to
remain in school. The goal of
the JAK Fund is to promote
youth in transition through
support in the form of food,
clothing and shelter, and to
assist youth in crisis through
liaising with local applicable
services.
With a connection to My
Sister’s Place through construction projects; the Keogh family decided their first
donation of $2000 would be
gifted to help the youths who
live with the consequences
of violence and abuse against
women. It should come as
no surprise that My Sister’s
Place is honoured and thankful to be the recipient of such
a generous gift.
To increase awareness for
the positive work with youth
that the JAK Fund plans to
accomplish in Justin’s name,
My Sister’s Place will provide direct access to their information at www.mysistersplace.ca or in the note section
of their Facebook page.
For more information on
the JAK Fund email [email protected] or visit
the blog at www.jakfund.
