Santa can be Scary, eSPecially if you’re on the nauGhty liSt! – As part of the Alliston Business Improvement Association’s ‘Hometown Christmas’ event on Saturday, November 22nd, children could have their picture taken with Santa Claus at Bern’s Flowers. The pictures were
taken by Robin Lynch, of ‘Photos by Robin’ and Mr. and Mrs. Claus were on-hand and making magic happen at the floral shop and gift boutique. In
this photo, Emily, age 1 1/2, and William, age 3 1/2, weren’t certain of Santa – perhaps they found out they were on the naughty list! For Emily, seeing
mom and dad close by was enough to cause panic. This hilarious picture, printed with permission from the parents, is truly what Christmas is all about!
I hope it will be clipped and shown at Emily’s wedding in years to come. And don’t worry kids, Santa isn’t scary as long as you listen to your parents!

Fundraiser for Jesse Scime planned for January
PHOTO BY WENDY GABREK
Jesse Scime (pronounced she-may), age 14 of Beeton, has Cerebral Palsy and needs a
power-wheelchair to get around. With a terrific family supporting him, Jesse isn’t lacking in
reasons to smile brightly, everyday.
BY WENDY GABREK
A fundraiser to benefit
Jesse Scime and his family
is being planned by Beeton
councillor Richard Norcross.
The event takes place on
Saturday, January 24th at the
Muddy Water Tavern in Beeton and proceeds from the
event will be used towards
the purchase of a wheelchair
accessible van purchased by
the Scime family in late Sep-
tember.
Jesse, a 14-year-old Beeton resident, has Cerebral
Palsy and requires a wheelchair full-time to get around.
A Grade 9 student at St.
Thomas Aquinas Catholic
Secondary School in Tottenham, Jesse is too big
and too independent for his
old manual chair. Having
a power wheelchair equals
freedom for the intelligent
young man, and is saving his
mother, Sally, from having
to transfer him to and from
his chair throughout the day.
When the Scime’s first
purchased the wheelchair, it
was transported with the use
of a trailer. Jesse would still
need to be transfered into the
car, and at 115 lbs. it was
proving a difficult task for
his mother.
Shopping online, the
Scime’s found a used Honda
van for sale in the United
States that would accommodate Jesse, and his wheelchair, with the press of a button.
Since the Scime’s took
possession of the van Jesse
can get in and out of the vehicle by himself. This means
that Jesse can take his power
chair more places, more often – which is opening doors
for the honour roll student,
literally.
Beeton councillor Richard
Norcross became involved
with the Scime family after
meeting Jesse at a Career
Day event. The two hit it off,
and Jesse took time to write
Mr. Norcross after the meeting.
His letter to Councillor
Norcross read as follows:
Dear Mr. Norcross
I recently met you at career
day and learn the life of a
politician. Your presentation
was not only inspiring to me
but also my classmates. It
was a pleasure meeting you.
I will tell you a little about
myself. I am 14 years old
and going into grade 9 at
St. Thomas Aquinas in Tottenham. I currently live
with my mom, dad and 15
year old brother in Beeton.
I was born at 27 weeks and
have a disability called Ce-
rebral Palsy. My main mode
of transportation has been
a manual wheelchair as my
leg do not work. As a result
of being in a manual chair
my friends have had to push
me around in school. To
gain my independence and
keep up with my friends
and move from classroom
to classroom independently
the physio therapist and doctor recommended I move to
a power wheelchair. It took
a lot of persuasion from the
physiotherapist but I finally
agree to move to the power
chair.
Although I use my manual
wheelchair in the house my
main transportation mode
will be the power wheelchair. At the present time
transporting the power chair
is not so easy because it
weighs 475 pounds with me
in it. My parents are having
to use a trailer to move my
power chair to where I want
to go. They also have to
physically transfer me into
our vehicle. I am getting to
the point now where is very
difficult for my mom as well
as my dad to lift me into the
vehicle.
Therefore we are in the
process of looking for a accessible vehicle to be able
to transport myself and my
power chair around with

ease.
My parents and I have researched used accessible vehicles but haven’t really had
any luck finding an appropriate vehicle that will last
us for years to come.
The cost of a brand new
accessible van is in the range
of $50,000 to $60,000. With
other expenses related to my
care and independence this
accessible vehicle would be
a big burden on my family.

Milne, Dowdall look at deputy warden’s position
RichaRD BlanchaRD
Both Essa mayor Terry
Dowdall and New Tecumseth mayor Rick Milne are
considering a run for the
Simcoe County warden’s
position next month.
Current deputy warden
Harry Hughes will not be
running again and recently
decided not to run for warden.
“It would be good to have
someone from the southern
part of the county as either
warden or deputy warden,”
said Dowdall on the weekend.
Tay mayor Scott Warnock
has announced that he will
be running for the deputy
warden’s position.
There has not been a warden or deputy warden from
the southern part of Simcoe
County since 2005 when
Dennis Roughley of Bradford West Gwillimbury was
elected to the position. He
served for one year.
Wasaga Beach mayor Cal
Patterson as served as warden for the past five years
but was defeated for mayor
in this fall’s election.
Basil Clarke, new elected
mayor of Ramara, will be
running for warden. Gerry
Marshall, mayor of Pentanguishene, would not confirm
rumours that he will also be
making a run for the position.
Essa makes final request for
provincial tornado funding

towards costs related to the
Angus Tornado last June,
Essa council will be making
a final request for funding.
“We didn’t pass a resolution at the last meeting in
regards to asking the province reconsider its decision,”
said township mayor Terry
Dowdall at last Wednesday’s
council meeting.
Municipal Affairs Minister
Ted McMeekin confirmed on
October 29 that the province
would not be making any
contribution to tornado relief in the township because
of the township’s strong financial status and the over
$100,000 raised for tornado
relief fund.

that the township ratepayers will be left on the hook

A coyote at a wildlife hospital. The animal was released after rehabilitation.
Dear editor:
In reference to Rafal Kubats letter Re: Action demanded against coyotes.
After reading Rafals story
about a coyote who simply walked up to him and
yanked a little dog away
from his grip while on its
leash, is very odd to say the
least. I can’t help wondering
why those little light weight
Yorkis weren’t lifted off the
ground by their adult male
owner. My guess as a wildlife rehabilitator is, the coyote would have retreated at
that point. Perhaps this par-
ticular coyote has become
accustomed to being in close
proximity to humans, especially due to their shrinking habitat due to human
overpopulation. This could
have been the result of an
intentional or unintentional
feeding by a nearby neigh-
bor which changes their
proximity tolerance. A case
such as this is quite atypical to their natural behavior.
I have walked the forested
trails around my house in
coyote country for 27 years
with my small dog off leash
and never had any problems.
There is plenty of evidence
that they live here but they
have never come close to
us or our dogs, let alone an
attack. Need we remind people that these wild animals
were here first.
The nocturnal, shy coyote
is incredibly beneficial to
the natural ecosystem. They
are a vital keystone predator
keeping rodents and small
mammals in check. They are
known as “natures clean up
crew”.
Coyotes mate for life and
are devoted parents to their
offspring. As omnivores,
their home range is anywhere
from 3–50 square miles. Human fear, misunderstanding
and lack of knowledge about
coyote behavior and habitat have lead to 50–70% of
young coyotes being killed
by humans before they reach
adulthood. This isolated incident does not justify declaring war on coyotes when
economic growth set to decline
Dear editor:
Buried in the federal government’s fall fiscal update
was some major news: economic growth in Canada will
decline year-after-year for
the next five years.
Let me say that again:
from 2015 to 2019, growth
will decline each and every
year.
Faced with this sad prognosis, the Conservatives are
putting all their eggs in the
income splitting basket, a
plan that will consume $2.4
billion borrowed dollars this
year and $2 billion every
year going forward, squeezing out room for a growth
agenda.
The Conservative income
splitting policy is unfair: it
does nothing for 85% of Canadians. And for 15% who
do benefit, the largest gains
blood inventory in
critical condition
Dear editor:
On behalf of Canadian Blood Services, I’d like to sincerely thank residents of this community who responded to
our recent urgent appeal for blood.
When it really counted, you stepped up and helped ensure we could continue to meet patient needs across the
country. We are fortunate to have such dedicated donors,
some of whom experienced longer donation times during
this critical period.
Thanks to you we are no longer in a critical situation.
That doesn’t mean our work together stops here; the need
for blood is constant. We look forward to welcoming regular donors back again soon. If you’re a new donor we hope
you will consider making blood donation a regular part of
your life.
We want donors to have the best experience possible.
We’ve heard your suggestions and will continue to improve. To begin, we’ve introduced Wi-Fi in our permanent
clinics, created a new website that is mobile friendly, introduced a mobile app called GiveBlood and started publishing our weekly inventory online so it’s even easier for
you to take action. We have also introduced a new eligibility quiz to help you determine whether you can donate. To
learn more visit www.blood.ca
Once again, thank you for your recent support and for
helping to save or improve the life of a fellow Canadian.
Mark Donnison,
Vice-President, Donor Relations

go to the wealthiest. Single
moms and dads, parents with
similar incomes within the
same tax bracket, those on
low incomes, those without
children or whose kids are at
the expensive post-secondary level—all get nothing
from Income Splitting.
Income splitting is too expensive, it’s unfair and it’s
anti-growth at a time when
growth is what Canadians
need.
Instead of lavishing benefits on those who need them
the least, we need to help our
economy expand and give
all Canadians a real and fair
chance at success. Two key
elements of that agenda are
infrastructure and education.
Investments in infrastructure will create jobs today
and lay the foundations for
greater prosperity tomorrow.
By helping our cities build
durable tools like better transit and water systems, we
will reduce traffic gridlock
and give a substantial and
sustainable boost our productivity and quality of life.
Seven out of ten future
new jobs in Canada will require post-secondary education. If we can raise our
post-secondary education attainment rate to 70 percent,
there are many preventative,
non-lethal measures to be
implemented.
To help minimize humanwildlife encounters, here are
a few basic tips:
• Never feed wildlife, keep
pets in-doors at night, keep
pet food in-doors, keep trash
secured, keep farm animals
in covered enclosures constructed with heavy mesh
wire, teach children to safely
admire wildlife from afar,
• Always provide an escape route and never corner
them. Never run, instead
back away slowly or make
yourself large and shout.
• Hazing are techniques
proven to be successful as a
deterrent to restore the coyotes natural avoidance to humans. Some include: noisemakers ex. voice, air horn,
pot and pan, cans full of
pebbles, projectiles (around
not at the coyote) ex. balls,
sticks, popping umbrellas,
spraying with a hose (in
warm months) or water gun.
Wildlife is not a ‘nuisance’
but rather a precious gift that
we need to better understand
so we may live in harmony
together.
Sylvia Penny
we’ll have a workforce ready
to meet our future job market
needs.
We don’t have to settle for
gradual economic decline.
Investments in education and
infrastructure are two essential components for the prosperity of our middle class
and our collective future.

essa’s past term of council
riCHArD blAnCHArD
With its term coming to a
close at the end of this month,
Essa township’s mayor and
deputy mayor looked back at
the past four years at the end
of last week’s council meeting.
“I have to say that I have
enjoyed the past term,” said
mayor Terry Dowdall who
will be starting his second
term as mayor next month.
“It was certainly interesting. We saw the opening of
the new high school, with the
new library, near the beginning of the term and we had
the challenges of dealing
with the Angus tornado and
the Plowing Match at the end
of the term.”
“I’m pleased that we have
been able to make progress
in a number of areas and
keep our taxes relatively
low,” he said.
Deputy mayor Sandie
Macdonald said that she
felt that “it had been a good
four years which I hope that
we will be able to continue. From the results of last
month’s election, I think that
people are very happy with
us.”
The inaugural meeting
will be held on Wednesday,

Bus trip to Casino Rama to feed families,
and support teens at Christmas
Photo By Wendy GaBRek
Bus tRiP to Rama helPs lions CluB helP teens – Tottenham resident Eva Bradley presented a cheque for $504
to Tottenham & District Lions Club Inc. representative Nick Giannopoulos last Friday. Bradley raised the funds through a bus
trip to Casino Rama that took place on November 8th. Bradley has been raising funds for local not-for-profits – including Heart
& Stroke, Terry Fox, Painted Rock Animal Farm and the Our Town Food Bank – since 2008. The funds will be used to buy
gift cards for teens, as part of the Christmas Basket Program that supports local families in need during the holiday season.

Tottenham resident Eva
Bradley has been raising
funds for local not-for-profit
organizations since 2008 –
simply, she says, because
she can.
Over the years, Bradley
has donated funds, raised
through bus trips to Casino
Rama, to several organiza-
tions including the Heart &
Stroke Foundation of Ontario, the Our Town Food
Bank, The Terry Fox Foundation, Painted Rock Animal
Farm, and the Tottenham &
District Lions Club Inc.
“First I’d like to thank
The Times for helping me
to spread the word about
the bus trips,” said Bradley.
“The support of the local paper has been invaluable.”
“I’d also like to thank everyone who came on the bus
this time – we had 52 people
participate in our November,
2014, trip – because without
you, and the friends you
brought along, these fundraisers wouldn’t be possible,” she added.
Bradley says she organizes the bus trips to Rama
because it’s something she
likes to do.
Funds raised from the November 8th departure were
split between the Our Town
Food Bank, that supports
100 local families monthly,
and the Tottenham & District
Lions Club Inc. in support of
the Christmas Baskets program. The groups received
$514 and $504 respectively
last Friday.
The cheque presentations
were photographed by this
paper, because it’s important, says Bradley, that the
bus trip participants know
that the money is going
where it’s supposed to be
going.
Bradley does not keep any
of the money raised for herself, and even pays out of
pocket for the printing of flyers and other small expenses
to ensure the bus trips can
happen.
The next trip to Casino
Rama will take place in the
spring of 2015. Tickets are
$20 each (which includes $5
towards the cost of the bus).
Participants are encouraged
to use their Casino Rama
Player Cards so the fundraiser could include a free buffet
(as it once did) again. Casino
Rama reimburses a portion
of the cost of the ticket price
with freebies, determined by
the casino. Proceeds from
the next bus trip will be donated to Matthews House
Hospice and My Sister’s
Place, the local women and
children’s shelter.
“I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year and
I look forward to seeing everybody on the bus again
next spring,” said Bradley.

Ontario takes action to reduce
smoking and obesity rates
Ontario is introducing legislation as of November 24th
to protect youth from the
dangers of tobacco and the
potential harms of electronic
cigarettes, known as e-cigarettes. Also included in the
legislation are measures to
help families make healthier
food choices by giving them
caloric information when eating out or purchasing takeaway meals.
The introduction of the
Making Healthier Choices
Act, 2014 supports the government’s commitment to
achieve the lowest smoking
rate in Canada. If passed, the
proposed legislation would:
• Ban the sale and supply of
e-cigarettes to anyone under
the age of 19.
• Prohibit the use of e-cigarettes in certain places where
the smoking of tobacco is
prohibited.
• Ban the sale of e-cigarettes in certain places where
the sale of tobacco is prohibited.
• Prohibit the display and
promotion of e-cigarettes in
places where e-cigarettes or
tobacco products are sold, or
offered for sale.
• Ban the sale of flavoured
tobacco products, with a delayed implementation date
for menthol-flavoured tobacco products.
• Increase maximum fines
for those who sell tobacco
to youth, making Ontario’s
maximum fines the highest in
Canada.
• Strengthen enforcement
to allow for testing of substances used in waterpipes

These measures are part

The Alliston Business
Improvement
Association (ABIA) held its annual
‘Hometown Christmas’ extravaganza last Saturday in
downtown Alliston.
The event included live
reindeer (direct from the
North Pole), hot chocolate,
cookie decorating, photos
with Santa (at Bern’s Flowers), face painting and local
shopping specials.
Besides the live animals,
the highlight of the event
was the annual tree lighting
at Mill Street and Victoria
Street at 5 p.m. The tree,
donated by Drysdale’s, was
decorated with white lights
and red bulbs decorated by
local children. At the event,
Mayor Mike MacEachern lit
his final tree as the Mayor
of New Tecumseth and children in attendance couldn’t
have been more delighted
with the way the tree looked
against the night sky.
Following the ABIA’s
Hometown Christmas, the
Rotary Club of Alliston held
its annual Night Lit Santa
Claus Parade, with more
than 30 businesses participating by entering floats
and throwing candies to the
children who lined the main
street.

Coyotes give up third Hornets claim back–to–back wins over the weekend
period lead to Bradford
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
They fought back, but a late third period blitz by the
Bradford Rattlers handed the Alliston Coyotes a 10–7 loss
Thursday (Nov. 20.) night at the New Tecumseth Recreation Complex in Alliston.
At the end of the first period the Coyotes were trailing
4–2 to the third place Rattlers.
After a late period goal from Angrej Jamnicky, Coyotes
forward Nikita Sidenko made a class move in front of the
net when he took a shot then picked up on his own rebound
for the second shot that made it to the back of the Rattlers
net.
Feeling the pressure in the second frame, the Coyotes
scored three, verses two more from the Bradford squad to
close the gap and make it a 6–5 game going into the final
20 minutes of play.
Alliston’s Austin Cunningham and Oleg Khalemin both
scored early in the third period – Cunningham notching his
only 15 seconds in the period followed by Khalemin’s goal
just :50 seconds later – to give the Coyotes a one goal lead.
From there, the Coyotes ran into trouble giving up four
goals to end the game 10–7 for the Rattlers.
It was loss number ten for the Coyotes and dropped them
down to a .500 record for the season with 20 points – good
for a seventh place in the Greater Metro Hockey League’s
South Division.
Over all the Tottenham Steam continue to dominate the
League with 38 points and only a single loss after 20 games
played this year. The Temiscaming Titans hold second
place with 33 points, followed by the Toronto Blue Ice Jets
with 32 points.
The Coyotes will be back on home ice for their regular
home game tonight (Nov. 27) when they will host the Toronto Ice Jets.
The puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The Alliston Coyotes host the Bradford Rattlers at the New

The Alliston notched four more points over the weekend with back to back wins on the road and at home. Friday (Nov. 21)
night’s game against the Orillia Terriers ended with a 6–1 Alliston victory.
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Alliston Junior C
Hornets are now nine points
ahead of the Penetang Kings
and the Stayner Siskins who
are tied for second place in
the Georgian Mid Ontario
Junior C Hockey League.
Penetang dropped their
road game to Huntsville on
Friday night.
The Kings went into a nose
dive at mid season losing six
of their last seven games after a strong start in the early
going and moving into first
place in the League.
The Hornets have been
like a rocket this year – once
taking off they have been
steadily moving ahead and
gaining speed with every
game and overtaking the
Penetang squad in the standings.
The squad gained four
more points over the weekend beginning with a 6–2
win over the Schomberg
Cougars in Schomberg on
Thursday, November 20.
After playing to a 1–1 tie
in the first period, the Hornets notched two more in the
second frame and ended the
night with three powerplay
goals in the third period.
Returning to home ice in
Alliston the following night,
(Fri. Nov. 21) they left the
ice with an easy 6–1 win
over the Orillia Terriers.
“When we needed to put
the puck on the net, we did,”
Said Hornets goalie Tyler
Brindle. “It was more of a
slow paced game, I guess we
kind of played down to their
level.”
Orillia has been playing a
.500 season this year, and really had trouble getting past
the Hornets defence in Friday’s game.
“At the beginning of the
game, I saw a lot more (action),” Brindle said. “As the
game went on, it started to
slow down a bit.”
Alliston goals came from
Nic Archibald, in the first.
A single each from Mark
O’Donnell and Jacob Tuck,
in the second. And Nick Arcan, Brendan Spencer, and a
second from O’Donnell in
the final frame.
The squad was pumped after Friday’s win and Brindle
said the squad isn’t looking
back at all.
“It feels really good,” He
said. “When we were in second for a while, it was driving us a little bonkers. Now
that we’re in first, we’re not
looking behind us, we’re going to keep going and building on what we’ve got.”
At 21 games into the sea-
son, forward Nic Archibald
is leading the pack in the
Hornets camp with 33 points
– 11 goals and 22 assists.
Close behind is Left winger Mark O’Donnell with 16
goals and 14 assists – good
for 30 points.
Jamie Bennett has 26
points as does Tanner Dockerty.
The Hornets will be back
on home ice this Friday, November 28, to host the Midland Flyers.
Game time is 7:30 p.m.

IN LOVING MEMORY
of Chris Gentle.
May 19, 1966 - November 28, 2013.
Remembering you is
easy,
I do it every day,
It’s just the pain of losing you,
That never goes away,
Though the tears in my
eyes don’t always glisten,
And my face not always
sad,
There is never a night or
morning,
I don’t think of the son I
had.
Not a day do I forget
you,
In my heart you are always here,
For I love you and I miss
you,
As this ends the very
first year.
We all miss you so
much,
Love always,
Your mother, the Gentle
and Timewell Families.
