12th niGht, bye bye Christmas trees – The Rotary Club of Alliston hosted ‘12th Night’ celebrations at Riverdale Park on Friday, January 9th.
Despite the frigid weather, many area residents attended to watch their Christmas trees go up in smoke, feeding a well-attended bonfire, controlled by
fire fighters from the New Tecumseth Fire Department, Station 1 Alliston. Others attended to make use of the frozen hills, bundling up to toboggan as a
family. The tradition of 12th Night is based on the Christian holiday known as the Epiphany – or the day the three wise men visited the baby Jesus (the
Epiphany actually occurs on January 6th), concluding the Twelve Days of Christmas. According to Wikipedia, a belief has also arisen in modern times
that it is unlucky to leave Christmas decorations hanging after 12th Night, a tradition originally attached to the festival of Candlemas (February 2nd)
which celebrates the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple. Thus the bonfire.

Trip to Disney World a dream come true for local family
By WenDy GaBrek
Recently, a group of concerned citizens and business
owners in New Tecumseth
came together to send local
resident Paul Kearney and
his family to Disney World.
Paul, who was diagnosed
with multiple sclerosis several years ago, wanted to
make memories with his
family before his illness progressed.
The initiative to send the
family to Disney World was
spearheaded in the spring
of 2014 by Sandra Lambie,
owner of C.W. Coops Alliston.
Lambie held a charity golf
tournament in May 2014,
and she then approached
Tony and Kathy Biss, owners of Marlin Travel (inside
Walmart Alliston), to contribute in part as well.
“Between the funds raised
at the golf tournament and
the rest being arranged by
Marlin Travel, we were given a trip made of dreams,”
said Jenni-Lynne Kearney,
Available in most new Ford vehicles
with 6-month pre-paid subscription
Paul’s wife. “On December 12, 2014 we flew out to
Orlando, Florida, USA, and
spent seven wonderful days
making memories that we
will cherish forever.”
The Kearney’s son, Raymond, met Mickey Mouse
on the trip and told all his
friends he went to “Mickey’s
Very Merry Christmas Party” upon the families return.
“This proves that Disney World truly is the most
magical place on earth!”
said Jenni-Lynne. “We cannot thank everyone involved
enough, as Paul’s multiple
sclerosis progresses, we will
be able to look back at the
pictures and remember this
truly remarkable time.”
On Facebook, Paul posted
pictures from his family trip,
and a touching thank you:
“2014 physically was tough,
but I’m very thankful for
2014. I want to thank friends
and family, also Sandra and
Eric from C.W. Coops and
all the great people we have
come to know over the last
few years. I was thinking the
other day that Sandra has
been a wonderful friend now
for over 20 years. I also want
thank Tony, Kathy and Marc
Biss of Marlin Travel and
so many others that made it
possible to make memories
at Disney World!”
Paul and his family are
now collecting empty alcohol bottles to install an accessible washroom in their
home.
Bottles can be dropped off
at The Times newspaper office (34 Main Street West) in
Beeton or by getting in touch
with Paul Kearney via Facebook.

By Wendy GaBrek
Members of the Jesse
Scime Fundraising Committee (Wendy Gabrek, Richard
Norcross, Pat Jordan, Al
Lord, Susan Iacoucci, Chris
Ross) gathered at Barb’s
Hava Java in Beeton on Sunday to create a video in support of the ‘Have Wheels,
Will Travel’ fundraiser.
‘Have Wheels, Will Travel’ is set to take place at the
Muddy Water Hotel in Beeton on Saturday, February
28th, 2015, from 1–5 p.m.
The event, in honour of Jesse
Scime, a 14-year-old Beeton
resident with cerebral palsy,
is a family-friendly FUNdraiser with lots of planned
activities including a silent
and live auction, door prizes,
50/50 draw, signature drinks
and live entertainment. Tickets for the event are $10 for
adults and $5 for students
and seniors.
The goal of the event is
to raise $40,000 for the

Sunday,
videographer
Chris Ricker, filmed a special video the will be posted
to YouTube in support the
upcoming fundraiser. Committee members, other youth
in the community who have
benefited from past fundraising efforts (Madi Vanstone,
Joey Gallinger) and an Alliston Hornet player Mitch
Livingston, all took part in
production.
The video is currently be-
ing edited and will be released later this week (look
to The Times’ Facebook
page for links).
It is the hope of the Fundraising Committee that the
video will improve the reach
of response from the community and give would-be
contributors an opportunity
to “meet” Jesse before the
big day. Tickets for the fundraiser will be available this
week from any committee
member.

Norm Foster’s “Office Hours”, a show that leaves Blackhorse Village Players audiences thoroughly entertained by
the antics in six lively workplaces.
You’ll find a broken down an eager beaver movie producer and an overweight jockey, dual roles played by Blackhorse veteran and multitalented Vince Ursini. Versatility
matches talent for this fine actor, and there’s more to come!
Morris Durante gleams like a multifaceted diamond in
three roles. It may be a diamond in the rough philanderer,
a polished salesman who could sell to every member of the
audience before the play is done or a reporter whose latest
news feature is an attack on himself. Durante makes the
play a memorable experience.
Cheryl Phillips, as a very blonde and wronged wife, is as
believable as the somewhat scatterbrained psychiatrist she
portrays in the final scenes. Both will leave you laughing.
Newcomer Brayden Wright jumps in to the fray and
makes a powerful splash, be he the washed up American
actor or a handsome race track owner who sings Sinatra
and truly has the voice to match.
Then there’s Jordan Baker, playing not only the onearmed man who fell victim to a news studio but the frustrated lawyer sharing a volatile secret with parents (Ginny
and Ivor Cathcart), whose performances double the fun of
the evening.
Add the fresh talents of Susan Jalbert, capably playing
down to earth producer and a determined Elizabeth Coulter
as a boss no one wants to have and it all spells success for
Blackhorse Village Players.
The offices merge and link like the workings of a kaleidoscope and up pop stories of the wake of a race horse, a
racy book author, and hilarious hidden meanings of trips to
Venice, all contributing to a wonderful evening arranged
by Director and Producer Margaret Phillips. With over 40
years experience at Blackhorse, she individually merits a
standing ovation. With assistant director Connor Phillips
and stage manager Victoria Tokarski they create an evening
you won’t want to miss.
“Office Hours” plays Fridays and Saturdays till January
24, Thursday, January 22, and Sunday matinées. Call 905
880-5002 for ticket information.

Brodie, Braedon and Logan enjoy an old-fashioned milkshake treat at Wimpy’s Diner in Alliston over the holidays.
By Wendy GaBrek
Something scary happened
to me over the holidays. I relaxed.
I took a week off between
Christmas and New Year’s,
and it was wonderful.
In this business, we work
7-days a week as required
and papers go out every
Tuesday and Wednesday
whether you’re feeling motivated, or not.
In 2014, I took no time
off. I ran around, covering
news events, participating
in fundraisers, volunteering
my time on local committees
and editing other people’s
work. In my spare time I
raised three children.
Over the holidays though,
I actually allowed myself
some time to enjoy the things
I work so hard for. My home,
my family and my television
set. It was glorious and relaxing and I’m still feeling
the healing effects of having
some downtime.
2014 was possibly the busiest year on record for me.
When I compiled the ‘Year
in Review’ for last week’s
edition, I couldn’t believe
how much went on in this
municipality – and how
much of it I was in attendance for. Editing the Shelburne paper added a nice 20
hours a week of work to my
schedule, and looking back,
I honestly don’t know how I
managed everything – without falling apart.
This brings me back to
my downtime. You’ll see in
the picture I’ve posted with
this editorial that I took my
kids out for a milkshake
over the holidays. A goofy,
little thing to some, but a
major awakening to me. Sitting in the booth at the 50’s
style diner in Alliston and
watching my kids get along
was amazing. Hat head and
all, I was proud to be with
them and spend time doing
what real families do –laugh,
talk and sip. All three of my
kids offered me the first sip
of their respective strawberry, strawberry and vanilla
shakes. And I took them up
on their offers.
We left the diner and went
home. Me to return to my
computer to check e-mails,
them to get back to their
video game systems and
my husband to return to the
couch – as the lucky devil
had three weeks off over the
holidays.
Of course I still had to be
prepared to put out a paper
when I came back from my
stay-cation, so I had some
work to do, but for the most
part I was able to let my hair
down and chill out.
This year, I didn’t make
major promises; I didn’t
make a New Year’s Resolution; and, so far in 2015, I
haven’t beat myself up for
everything I could have,
should have, or will never
do.
The term “time-out” usually has a different meaning
in my household – sit on the
stairs and wait for the timer
on the microwave to go off
‘cause you’re in trouble
– but these days it means
‘chill’, ‘relax’, ‘don’t sweat
the small stuff’, ‘it’s going to
be okay’.
Don’t wait for Family Day
to spend time with your kids,
to call an old friend or to go
for a spa day – whatever
equals relaxation to you.
Rent five movies and don’t
leave the couch all weekend. As long as your bills
are paid, there’s food in the
fridge and your family is
safe and healthy you really
don’t have any problems.
Go ahead, put yourself
on a time-out, and if you’re
feeling guilty about having
some time off, set the microwave timer for 5 hours and
don’t move until it goes off.
“Service Clubs are an important part of our community”: Wilson
“Service clubs are the
backbone of our local communities and I am always
so appreciative of the work
they do,” said Jim Wilson,
MPP SImcoe–Grey. “Their
dedication to many deserving causes and their sense
of community continues to
make our province a better
place to live and for that they
should be proud.”
“In April, I was pleased to
host a roundtable discussion
and invited service clubs
from across Simcoe-Grey.
Having heard directly from
local organizations, I can at-
test that there are a number
of issues they deal with that
hinder everyday operations.
One of the biggest problems is attracting volunteers.
If you’ve ever volunteered
for a service club then you
know firsthand how much
good work they do and the
benefit they bring to the
communities they serve.
Through supporting our
hospitals, playgrounds and
non-profit community organizations both locally and
around the world, service
clubs generate an important
sense of community while
kudos to our community
Dear editor:
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to a community that is truly astounding.
We recently asked for help at Thanksgiving to stock our
shelves. The response then, and at Christmas was truly
amazing. We the volunteers of Our Town Food Bank wish
to applaud all donors for their tremendous support. All
organizations, groups and individuals have every right to
feel very proud of their community spirit at this time of
the year.
Thank you for your generosity and concern.

meetings & news

The Tottenham Horticultural Society, also known as the
Tottenham Garden Club, is ready to start the New Year.
Please come out to our first meeting on Thursday, January 15th and sign-up again.
Our price isn’t going to change. It’s $15 per person and

giving back and quietly supporting causes that touch all
of our lives.
To better facilitate the
good work service clubs
consistently do for our province, I recently submitted
a resolution to the Ontario
Legislature that I will be
debating during my Private
Members time on February
19th, 2015. My resolution
asks the government to form
an all-party committee to
investigate the barriers and
burdens facing service clubs
in Ontario.
For all those involved in
service clubs locally and
across the province, I wholeheartedly thank you for your
hard work and dedication to
the many great causes you
support. Your efforts are
much appreciated!”
• Resolution - Service
Clubs: Mr. Wilson – That,
in the opinion of this House,
the Minister of Finance
should immediately move
to have a standing committee investigate the legislative
and regulatory barriers and
burdens facing service clubs
in Ontario who serve their
respective communities and
conduct ongoing community
service which helps alleviate the demand for publiclyfunded services.
The committee shall focus
on the following topics: (1)
financial audits; (2) restrictive regulations surrounding
fundraising; (3) taxes and
fees; and (4) declining membership.
That the committee shall
have the authority to conduct
province wide hearings and
undertake research, and generally shall have such powers and duties as are required
to investigate the issue.
That the committee shall
present an interim report to
the House no later than September 1st, 2015, and a final
report no later than January
1st, 2016.

CD release party this
Saturday
BY WENDY GABREK
New Tecumseth resident Sean Abbott is hosting a CD
release party for his second album, entitled ‘Uprising’, at
The Hornet’s Nest (second floor, NTRC in Alliston) this
Saturday, January 17th.
The show starts at 9 p.m. and copies of the CD, featuring
eight licensed cover songs and one original, will be on sale
at the venue.
Uprising is Sean Abbott’s second CD, but his first new
release in 14 years. The album is selling like hotcakes on
Amazon.ca and was digitally released (on cdbaby.com/
cd/seanabbottband and iTunes) in November, 2014.
The band has been nominated for a 2015 Juno Award,
and so has Sean Abbott as the engineer of the record.
The band is not currently signed to a label, but has received interest from a USA-based label called Grooveyard
– a guitar based record label. They are in the early stages
of negotiation.
Band members are: Sean Abbott, guitar artist, who has
lived in New Tecumseth for 10 years; Rodney Calhoun
(Cal), on bass, from Newmarket; and Tom St. Denis, on
drums, from Caledon.
“It took a long time for us to find each other but now
that we have, we are nurturing something that we feel is
very special,” Sean Abbott told The Times. “We hope you
like it.”

on the anticipated tax levy increase (.97%) required to maintain current service levels, and an overview of income/expense by
department. Council continued discussions on Tuesday, Jan.

Know the signs, and share your ‘Blood for Turpin’
By Wendy GaBreK
‘The Doula Group’, serving Simcoe County and York
Region, recently held a blood
donor clinic at the Tottenham
Community & Fitness Centre
in honour of Sarah Turpin.
Sarah, a 32-year-old mother
of three, was a resident of Bay
Roberts, Newfoundland, and
was a teacher at Carbonear
Academy. She passed away
from a rare form of cancer
called ‘choriocarcinoma’ or
the pregnancy cancer, on October 3, 2014 at Carbonear
General Hospital in St. John’s,
Newfoundland, one week after
being diagnosed.
Her three young children,
Rowan (her heart), and twins
Grant and Ellis (she lungs),
will be raised by her husband,
Peter, now a single father.
Sarah’s cancer likely developed after a miscarriage in
January 2014, but remained
undiagnosed until it was too
late.
“We are supporting a young
family, three kids under three,
who lost their mom to a very
rare pregnancy-related cancer. As many single dads can
attest to, daily life is a challenge – but the insurmountable grief that accompanies a
sudden and tragic loss makes
that day to day life that much
more challenging. We are aiming to help this family, but also
to remind people about the

need for blood donations and
to bring awareness to the signs
and symptoms of choriocarcinoma,” said Mélissa Cowl of
The Dula Group. “Sarah’s last
wish was for people to make
the time to (give blood) as she
received multiple transfusions
during her week in the hospital
before she died.”
“From a fund raising perspective, we are hoping to
ease the financial burden for
this young family,” continued
Cowl. “The practical side of
this particular tragedy means
loss of income and three children under three to support
for many years to come. Most
recently, Sarah’s husband was
off work for three weeks while
two of the children were in
the hospital with a viral lung
infection. In addition, since
Sarah had her three children
so close together she was not
eligible for a second maternity
leave as a teacher. She had also
opted out of her insurance plan
to bring the much needed cash
flow back into the house upon
returning to work earlier this
year.”
“The Doula Group, a collective of doulas in Simcoe
County & York Region, serve
women and their families of
the area but as a Doula Trainer,
I travel throughout Canada, the
US and Europe which is how I
met Sarah and her family. As
a group, we decided to create
this campaign #ForSarahsKids
as a legacy to their mother that
they can look back on. Sarah
was a mother, daughter, teacher, doula, comedienne, sister
and more. Her story touches
us because she could have
been any one of us.”

12th night SetS the night on fire – Fire Fighters
from the New Tecumseth Fire Department, Station 1 Alliston, control a blazing bonfire at 12th Night celebrations last
Friday. The event, held at the Riverdale Park and hosted
by the Rotary Club of Alliston, was a great way to get rid
of your 2014 Christmas tree, and celebrate the Epiphany.
Many residents attended, enjoying 75¢ hotdogs and hot
chocolate and staying warm by the fire, after tobogganing
the night away!

raises money for various needed causes within and outside the community from their annual
memorial golf tournament, which is held every year in May. The Lord family established the
foundation in 2007 in memory of their son Kevin, who passed away in 2006 after a yearlong
battle with brain cancer. Kevin’s father, Al Lord said, “In keeping with our motto, “A Helping
Hand In Helping Others”, we have supported Matthews House Hospice for the last four years
and are hoping to be able to continue to support such a wonderful and much needed organization in our community and we are making his year’s donation in special memory of two
close friends, Merle Findlay and Paul (Pinky) Robinson.” Pictured above is Al Lord presenting

The Rotary Club of Alliston hosted annual 12th Night
Celebrations at Riverdale
Park Friday night.
The celebration, complete
with 75¢ hotdogs and hot
chocolate, was hosted by the
Rotary Club of Alliston, the
Alliston Firefighters’ Association and the Town of New
Tecumseth.
The night was cold, but
residents took advantage of
an opportunity for some postholiday socializing, coming
out by the droves.
The kids came too, carrying in their tobaggons to take
on the Riverdale Park hills
and then warm-up by the fire.
Smoke from the fire travelled quite far, and parking
was scarce, otherwise it was
a good time for all who attended.

Alliston/Tottenham in
GMHL battle
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Tottenham Steam took the short drive up to Alliston
to take on the Coyotes for a game of in-town Greater Metro
Hockey League action on Thursday, January 8.
When it was over the Steam left with a 9–7 win.
Tottenham took an early lead in the game notching two
goals by the time the first period was five minutes old.
Coyotes responded with their opening goal at 8:18 into
the period.
At the end of the first frame the Steam were leading 4–2,
putting the pressure on the Coyotes.
Alliston scored in the second period but the response
from Tottenham was two more goals to end the frame to
lead 6–3 going into the final 20 minutes of play.
Both teams turned it into a scoring frenzy in the third
period with the Coyotes scoring four to end the game but
Tottenham notched three more to end the game at 9–5.
The Steam continue to lead the League with 56 points
and a 28–3 record after 31 games played.
Right behind are the Toronto Attack with 56 points but
they have played three more games than the Steam.
The Coyotes continue to have a good season and are the
middle of the pack in the South Division of the GMHL with
a seventh place in the standings and a 15–16 record for the
season.
The Coyotes next game is tonight (Thur., Jan. 15) at the
New Tecumseth Recreation Complex when they will host
the Bradford Rattlers.
The Steam will return to their home barn in Tottenham on
Saturday, January 24, to host the Bradford Bulls.

PHOTOS BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Alliston Hornets host the Caledon Golden Hawks at the New Tecumseth Recreation Centre in Alliston on Saturday, January 9. The Hornets left with a 3–2 win after a third period rally that saw the Hornets score three goals to take the game.
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Alliston Hornets won
their Friday night game
against the Caledon Golden
Hawks but waited until the
third period to do it.
After a first period that
saw some chances but no
goals, the Hornets were trailing 1–0 when the Caledon
squad scored at 7:30 into the
opening period.
A scoreless second frame
set the final 20 minutes up
with a one goal Alliston deficit.
The Golden Hawks went
ahead by two when they
notched a goal early in the
frame putting the pressure
on the Hornets to respond
and get back into the game
with 16 minutes left on the
clock and they didn’t disappoint.
Jamie Bennett got the first
Alliston goal a minute and
a-half later when there was
a scramble in front of the
Caledon net and he shot the
puck to the top shelf to score.
Alliston forward Steve
Griggs got the tie when he
found himself on a break
away and placed the puck to
an opening in the Caledon
net from a head on position
while on the attack.
The Hornets got the win
when Tanner Dockerty
scored with 4:12 left on the
clock in the third period.
The final frame was not
without some conflict when
two players collided just inside the Caledon blue line
dropping a Golden Hawks
player to the ice in what
the Caledon bench called a
head shot but the referees
declined to access a penalty
despite a vocal protest from
the Golden Hawks bench.
The Hawks retaliated moments later after the next
face-off when a Caledon
player, with obvious intent,
drilled an elbow to the head
of an Alliston player up
against the boards. Again no
penalty was accessed.
“We’ve been in a slump
for the past couple of games.
It’s been hard for us. The
bounces just haven’t been
coming our way,” Said Alliston forward of the game’s
first period. “We just had to
get the first goal out of the
way.”
The Hornets lost their last
two outings taking a 5–2 loss
to Orillia on January 3, and a
3–1 loss to Stayner on January 2.
“I thought the second period we played pretty well,”
Griggs said. “The bounces
again weren’t coming our
way. The coach came in
and said ‘good period’ and
to keep playing the way we
are and we’ll pop one in,
and sure enough we did. We
keep the momentum going.
After that second goal tied
it up, momentum was on our
side, we just kept pushing
through to the end.”
The Hornets don’t have
a home game this coming
weekend.
They will be on the road in
Penetang on Friday (Jan. 16)
then off to Caledon on January 18.
They will return to home
ice on Friday, January 23, to
host the Huntsville Otters.
Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Special needs grooming made great at Paw Starz

Lexie Davidson is the owner of ‘Paw Starz’ located inside The Pet Shop in the M&M’s plaza in Alliston. Lexie offers full
grooming services and specializes in large breeds and dogs with disabilities. She is pictured here with Optimus Prime ‘Opi’ a
6-month old Labradoodle (a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle) who came in for a wash, brush and nail trim.
BY WENDY GABREK
Lexie Davidson knows
what it’s like to be discriminated against and she’s not
going to let it happen to her
furry friends.
Diagnosed with Asperger
syndrome, an Autism Spectrum Disorder, Lexie has a
unique perspective – a perspective she’s brought into
her dog grooming business,
which she calls ‘Paw Starz’.
Paw Starz is located in the
M&M’s Plaza in Alliston,
inside The Pet Shop, owned
by Sylvia Munroe, and specializes in grooming special
needs dogs.
“I wanted to open my own
business grooming dogs because I have two dogs, Oreo
and Willow, with severe hip
dysplasia and we were getting turned away from regular grooming places,” Lexeie
told The Times.
A hairdresser of 7-years,
Lexie already knew how to
handle a brush, and loved
dogs. The grooming part
was an easy learn for the
sensitive student.
Paw

opened on December 2,

In addition to regular
grooming services, and
grooming services for dogs

also offers hair dying (for
dogs). 705 881-2326.

Safe shoveling techniques
With snow now here, chiropractors offer these simple
tips to help reduce the risk of
pain, strain and injury from
improper shoveling techniques.
“Snow shoveling, slips
and falls are the top reasons
for back and muscle pain in
the winter,” says Dr. Brian
Gushaty, a chiropractor.
“Every winter, chiropractors
see an increase in back injuries due to improper lifting
when shoveling snow.”
This isn’t surprising when
you consider that one shovelful of snow can weigh three
to five kilograms. Combine
that weight with improper
shoveling technique and it’s
a recipe for pain and injury.
“Back problems often surface during the weather, especially for individuals who
are unaccustomed to regular
strenuous physical activity,”
says Dr. Gushaty.
The following safety tips
can help prevent back pain
and injury this winter:
• Warm up. Before beginning any snow removal or
strenuous winter activity,
warm up for five to 10 min-
utes to get the joints moving
and increase blood circulation.
• Don’t let the snow
pile up. Removing small
amounts of snow on a frequent basis is less strenuous
in the long run.
• Pick the right shovel.
Use a lightweight, push style
shovel. If you use a metal
shovel, spray it with a non
stick spray so snow slides of
easily.
• Push, don’t throw. Push
the snow to one side and
avoid throwing it as much
as possible. If you have to
throw, avoid twisting and
turning – position yourself
to throw straight at the snow
pile.
• Bend your knees. Use
your knees, leg and arm
muscles to do the pushing
and lifting while keeping
your back straight.
• Watch the ice. Course
sand, ice salt, ice melt or
even kitty litter can give
your walk and driveway
more traction, reducing the
risk of a slip or fall.
• Wear proper footwear.
Shoes and boots with solid
treads on the soles can help
to minimize the risk of slips
and falls.
• Take a break. If you feel
tired or short of breath, stop
and take a rest. Stop shoveling immediately if you feel
chest or back pain.
Defeat winter with history
PhOTO bY WEnDY GabREk
ThERE’S nO bIz lIkE ‘SnOWbIz’ aT ERnEST CumbERlanD – On Wednesday, December 17th, Grade 8 students at
Ernest Cumberland Elementary School in Alliston performed ‘SnowBiz’ for an appreciate audience. The musical production
included the entire Grade 8 student body and was directed by teacher Joanne Garrett. Other teachers gave of their time to
create sets, and provide audio/visual effects during the performance. Garrett was rewarded for all of her hard work at the end
of the play with a bouquet of flowers, passed to her in thanks by principal Aileen Ross.
The winter’s cold and isolation needn’t get you down; the
Tecumseth & West Gwillimbury Historical Society’s warm
and friendly meetings offer a welcome and interesting respite
with adventures in local history each month.
For example, January’s meeting is an annual delight, a
show and tell event, where members share information about
their prized possessions or personal stories. It is always
amazing and delightful to hear and see what abounds in our
area. Bring your prized possessions on Monday, January 19th
and tell your stories to an eager audience.
Perhaps you have old papers, family records or photos languishing in a drawer or box. Ellen Millar, assistant archivist
for the Simcoe County Museum, will show you how to organize and preserve these items for posterity on Monday,
February 16.
And, on Monday March 16, a medical tonic awaits your attention when author and historian, Dorothy Duncan, discusses home remedies. Potions, powder, poultices and prayers
– medical treatments from the early 19th century – will treat
what ails you.
With such interesting programmes in store, Winter will
easily pass and our Spring programmes promise even more
exciting experiences.
Meetings are held at the Tec We Gwill Hall in Newton Robinson and begin at 7:30 p.m. ending with a social hour. If
you would like more information, please phone June at 905
775-7144.

NCVA elects new Board of
Directors for 2015
Doug Lougheed, Councillor for the Town of Innisfil, will lead the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority board of directors in
2015.
Lougheed, a former police officer and family farm manager, was
elected chair of the board at the NVCA’s 55th Annual General Meeting on January 9, 2015.
“I look forward to serving residents of the Nottawasaga Valley watershed as chair for the NVCA board of directors,” said Lougheed.
“In 2015, the board will look to continue to improve the efficiency
and effectiveness of the organization, while still ensuring that we
meet our important obligations as mandated under the Conservation
Authorities Act.”
Nina Bifolchi, Deputy Mayor of the Town of Wasaga Beach, who
has served as chair for the past two years, elected not to run again.
Bifolchi will continue to sit on the board, serving as past chair.
“I am proud of this board’s accomplishments. I’ve enjoyed working with this board and staff and look forward to serving as past
chair,” said Bifolchi. “As we enter a new year with many new faces
around the table, I hope that together we will continue to grow and
develop the NVCA as a ‘respected, trusted and valued’ leader in watershed management.”
Gail Ardiel, Deputy Mayor for the Town of The Blue Mountains
was acclaimed as vice chair, a position she held in 2014.
Fifteen new members appointed by their municipalities joined the
board at the meeting. A total of 27 members sit on the NVCA board
from 18 municipalities in the counties of Simcoe, Dufferin and Grey.
The board governs the authority, a public agency dedicated to protecting, enhancing and restoring the Nottawasaga Valley watershed
to support a healthy environment, communities and lifestyles.

Tech addiction spreads far beyond youth
and video games says counsellor
By BroCk Weir
If you like to stay connected via
social media or like to unwind with
a video game or two, there is no
harm in that, unless, of course, there
is.
If there are consequences in your
everyday life due to a “need” for being constantly connected, however,
there could be a problem.
Technology addiction is an issue
which has become increasingly recognized and accepted in years, according to addiction counsellor Brian Irving, who is spearheading the
new Technology Dependency Support Group, which began on Thursday, December 6, and ran for four
Thursdays facilitated by Aurora’s
Eating Disorders of York Region’s
Riverwalk Wellness Centres.
Mr. Irving, who is laying the
groundwork to starting a similar
support group in the Innisfil area in
the near future, says people tend to
see technology addiction as a typical
teen spending hours on end playing
shoot ‘ep up video games, or whiling away their lives on Facebook or
Twitter. Recent studies, however,
indicate this is far from the reality of
the situation.
“Addiction to technology is the
sort of stuff that is relatively new in
being recognized,” says Mr. Irving.
“When we look at addictions, we’re
often looking at substance use, gambling, and that sort of thing, but the
idea now is to be able to provide
service for this growing area of concern, not only for young people but
adults too.
“There is a big misconception that
it is always related to video games

and younger people, but recent stats
show that 40 – 60 per cent of people
with technology addictive types of
behaviours are above the age of 25.”
These studies go on to indicate
that women tend to be particularly
“socially connected” through their
cell phones, Facebook, and email.
Simple, free-to-play online games
are also a big draw for women,
whereas men trend towards massive
multiplayer online games and competitive shooting games.
“In the last six months there have
been more studies released on how
females are connected to tech addiction because it is relatively new
in its acceptance and recognition,”
Mr. Irving adds. “It shows the level
of acceptance for technology. These
days in our society we have to be
connected with email, and other
programs and it is hard to pull that
away. In addiction we also have to
look at how to manage that addiction and not just abstain [as opposed
to addressing] substance abuse.”
In working with people with technology addiction, Mr. Irving says
it is often an even split of people
who recognize there is a problem
with their own behaviour versus
others recognizing the problem in
their friends and family members.
Education, particularly for family
members, is essential in learning
what is normal and what is not. Just
because you’re on Facebook regularly doesn’t mean you are necessarily addicted, he adds, but if there are
negative consequences in the world
around you because of it, you need
to start looking at how it is playing
into your life.
Earlier this year, provincial statistics indicated that 78 people were
killed on Ontario highways due to
distracted driving, while 57 deaths
were connected with impaired driving. That, he says, is a particularly
telling statistic showing how pervasive IT addiction can be.
“We get sucked into a false connection, these false relationships,
these abstract ways of dealing with
relationships and a lot of times it is
dealing with getting people back in
touch with real, interpersonal relationships,” says Mr. Irving of how
to approach IT addiction versus
simply turning off. “It is also getting
them back in touch with themselves,
in touch with their emotions, what
they are going through, and looking
at things like anxiety. If people have
an underlying anxiety or depression
issue, the tendency is to isolate and
pull away. Things like video games
and social media are a great way to
stay somewhat connected, but not
really.
“I have had many young fellas
that spend 12 – 15 hours a day playing online video games and though
some work and time we are able
to cut that back. When they realise
there is a life outside that game,
that there are relationships outside
that game, that there is a sense of
accomplishment and wellbeing outside that virtual world, they make a
lot of headway and changes in that
behaviour.”

Progressive Conservatives shot themselves in the foot:
now they’re out of feet, says leadership hopeful
By Brock Weir
Say for the sake of argument you were a candidate
looking to win a Provincial
election for your riding and
the powers-that-be said it
would be a great idea to campaign on firing 100,000 people, chances are you might
say that is a really, really bad
idea.
At least, that’s what North
Bay MPP Vic Fedeli is banking on in his bid to be the
next leader of the Progressive Conservative party.
Mr. Fedeli brought his message to Newmarket-Aurora
Progressive Conservatives at
a meet and greet held at Aw,
Shucks!in late November.
Attended by former MPPs
and at least one candidate
who faced that very real
challenge bearing that message to local homes in the
spring election, Mr. Fedeli
said enough is enough.
“We suffered a terrible loss
on June 12,” he said. “This
is the fourth time we have
lost in a row and I have to
be blunt: I am tired of losing. Jim Wilson, our interim
leader, has said it so many
times and says it best. We
shot ourselves in the foot,
quite frankly, and we are out
of feet.”
Over the last election, Mr.
Fedeli says he would struggle as he went door to door
touting what ultimately came
to be known as the “Million
Jobs Plan.” Handily winning in 2011, it was an uphill
climb this time around “because of the stupidity.”
There was a sense in his
community, he says, of longtime friends and supporters
being “ashamed” to have his
party signs on their lawns
for any number of reasons,
including if their neighbours
happened to be, for example,
teachers or OPP employees.
“The first thing we need
to do is restore pride in the
party,” he said. “We need to
reach out to members, tell
members you are important,
that your opinions matter and
we value you.”
Mr. Fedeli is running on a
multi-plank platform called
“Ontario First.” A key component of this platform,
he said, are constitutional
amendments which would
transform the party in a
number of ways, including
bolstering confidence in the
party leader. Party leaders
should be reviewed at every opportunity to ensure
the party as a whole is still
behind their vision. Party
members should also be empowered to review and ratify
party platforms before they
are unleashed on the electorate.
“If we came to you in
March and said just prior,
‘Here is our campaign plan.
We think it is going to work if
we fire 100,000 people,’ how
many of you would have ratified that?” he asked. “There
is not one hand here. There
is nobody here who would
have ratified platforms such
as that.”
Describing himself as a
“lifelong entrepreneur” who
first put that vision into action opening his first business
at the age of 16, he charted
his rise through the advertising industry, helming a company once named 34th in the
Top 50 Companies to Work
For In Canada in 1989. There
was “hope” in the province at
that time, cheap energy to go
around, low taxes, and many
incentives to go into business.
Governments provided a
hand by getting out of the
way and cutting red tape, he
added, something which he
argued has not been a recent
trend.
Eventually he turned his
hand to running non-profits,
eventually refocusing on politics where he served as Mayor of North Bay, by selling
stagnating land in the Town’s
portfolio for peanuts to incoming business and industry and reaping the rewards
of taxes and employment.
“I am not saying you run
the province like a business,
because business is for profit,
but you can run the province
in a business-like way,” he
say. “You just need to develop a plan.”
That plan, he added, does
not include Kathleen Wynne’s vision, he said, arguing
a province cannot be run on
a budget that accounts for
spending $12.5 billion more
than it is taking in.
Questions from the floor
raised from party faithful
included how to make better inroads into the 416, revitalizing Ontario’s mining
industry by allowing further
prospecting and industry to
“ignite” Ontario’s “Ring of
Fire” deposits near James
Bay, and reversing what was
described as the non-profit
sector being “terrified” at the
prospect of a PC Government.
“[In Ontario First] we
should aspire to be first in
everything we do: the first in
health care, the first in education, the first in entrepreneurship, the first in youth employment,” said Mr. Fedeli.
“The real message is the tone
we deliver. We can be bold
without being mean. Right
now, what we are is mean
to everyone. It is no wonder
they think of us as slash and
burn, but over the next four
years the $12.5 billion deficit
by Kathleen Wynne…she is
going to take our province
and she is going to be the one
who is feared.”
