Way to go! Fall Fair poster takes 1st place at provincial level BY WENDY GABREK It takes skill to create an outstanding poster. The poster must convey the feeling and heart of the event it represents, it requires a pleasing aesthetic, and it must stand out from the rest. Kimberly Evans seems to have found this secret recipe and created an award winning poster for the 2014 Shelburne Fall Fair. Taking first place at the local level, her poster went on to receive accolades from the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS), claiming another 1st place, an earning Evans (and the Shelburne Fall Fair) provincial recognition. In the summer of 2014, the Shelburne Free Press hosted and judges a competition for the official Fall Fair poster. Evans submitted a beauty, and took first place locally. Her poster then went on for judging by the OAAS – a provincial body, that receives a multitude of submissions annually – and won yet again. Taking 1st Place in the Adult category, Evans was presented with a red ribbon and $40! (She also took home $15 in Shelburne for her winning entry). The Shelburne Fall Fair committee plans to host the poster competition once again in 2015. Posters will be displayed at the Free Press office, and our staff will act as judges. Posters must be two denominational (with no moving parts) and represent the best the Fall Fair has to offer. On her black and white, and busy, poster, Ev- ans has this to say, “I managed to get a lot on it. I chose an older ‘typesetting’ look for the font, in keeping with the history of the Fall Fair itself, and I made sure that ‘Shelburne’ and ‘Fall Fair’ were prominently displayed. It took Evans several days to create the digital poster, created on her home computer, and she admits that several “tweaks” were needed before she was happy with the finished product. On why she thinks she won overall, Evans said, “It’s just a fun fluke, really! But I hope my win shows that anyone has a chance to win, and that we’ll receive more submissions this year!” Look to the Free Press, your Shelburne Fall Fair supporter, for up to date information as it becomes available.

Councillors learned that one of the greatest threats to the safety standards of Ontario’s drinking water is complacency; the guide for municipal governments urges Councils to be vigilant. CAO Telfer says, “Training like this brings all participants into the same room to hear it first hand and appreciate each other roles to accomplish the best decisions for all citizens and taxpayers. Also, it allows questions to be discussed and answered through the lens of a true seasoned municipal legal advisor.” ‘Extreme Weather’ presentation at Monora Park By WEndy GaBrEk The Mono Mulmur Citizens’ Coalition, or MC2, is hosting an ‘Extreme Weather’ presentation next Saturday, March 28th from 10 a.m. until noon at Monora Park (500 Monora Park Drive, Mono). More than 80 participants are expected. Confirmed speakers include: Director of Public Works for Mono, Mike Dunmore, and Steve Murphy from Emergency Management Dufferin County. Glenn Switzer, Director of Engineering, for the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) and Pete Karageorgos of the Insurance Bureau of Canada will also speak, following and introduction by Arnold DeGraaff. Everyone in the community is encouraged to attend this free event, to share ideas and discuss action plans. Refreshments will be served during the break. “We will have a number of informative handouts for participants to take home so they can work on their own unique plan for their situation,” said event co-organizer, Rita Reitsma. “We will also have references participants can pursue on the Internet.” “MC2 does several presentations annually in which we invite the public,” Reitsma continued. “Previous (Speaker Series topics have covered) proposed Land Use Plan for the county; DEEP waste proposal; Decline of Bees and Organic vs. Chemical Farming. We try to provide balanced and detailed information to help educate ourselves and the community on issues that matter to all of us. The environment committee is specifically sponsoring this event in March. As a committee we plan to do another presentation in the fall on GMOs.” For more information, visit www.monomulmur.com Shelburne library PhoTo By Marni WalSh Mayor Ken Bennington thanks municipal training expert Fred Dean for a successful session with Town Council, staff and committee members March 9th. Mr. Dean has trained municipal councils across the Province and has been visiting Shelburne, keeping Council up to date on their responsibilities, for 22 years. By Marni WalSh Town Council, staff and committee members received municipal training from barrister and solicitor Fred Dean March 9th at Grace Tipling Hall. All council were present as well as six staff members and all boards were represented by a board member or secretary at the two and a half hour training session. Fred Dean, an expert in municipal law, has been visiting Shelburne for 22 years keeping Town representatives up to date on their municipal responsibilities. Monday night, he presented training at the request of the Town, when the on- site training was of additional importance for new councillors Dan Sample, and Wade Mills, also a lawyer, as well as Shelburne’s newly elected Mayor Ken Bennington. CAO John Telfer says, “This training gives the basic understanding of responsibilities between Council members, staff, public and media and the ability to recognize responsibilities or job descriptions and interaction with other people.” Similarly, committee members learn to understand their roles and responsibilities as they pertain to representing Council on different boards. Mr. Dean, who does scheduled training around the Province, also speaks at workshops for associations such as ROMA, AMO and AMCTO, annual municipal conferences which provide learning opportunities to strengthen local governments. Even for returning Councillors, the CAO explains there is “always something new to learn and analyze. A refresher is always a learning opportunity for the most seasoned member of Council or staff.” In 2015, John Telfer reports that “Council and senior staff will have a continuing level of increased responsibility with the Clean Water Act.” The Safe Drinking Water Act of 2002 includes a “statutory standard of care for individuals who have decision-making authority over municipal drinking water systems or who oversee the operating authority of the system.” Ac- Everyone is enjoying the lovely and bright new Children’s Library.

The DCMA’s new Curator Sarah Robinson says the staff at the museum “wanted this exhibit to mean a lot to the people of Dufferin County – something they could relate to, as well as educating visitors who were from outside the County.” She says one of the most common questions from visitors relates to local homes and buildings; “If the Walls Could Talk,” a title borrowed from DCMA Archivist Steve Brown’s book about buildings in Orangeville, will display artefacts from multiple building’s once prominent in the area, including churches, the county jail, post offices, and hotels and taverns such as Shelburne’s once and long ago Royal Hotel and the Paisley House hotel in Orangeville. The exhibit will also feature the OPP Museum’s touring exhibit from Orillia – “Arresting Images” opening July 5th in the Silo gallery. The travelling display includes 100 mug shots from OPP archives. There will also be canine demonstrations, finger printing and guest officers from local police departments. Sarah says that “travelling exhibits keep what the museum offers fresh and provide local visitors with learning opportunities they might not get otherwise. In late February, the museum closed down for a week to carefully remove folk art displays and begin the work to set up “If the Walls Could Talk.” With the invaluable help of local volunteers, 98% of the 2014 displays have been painstakingly removed and put in their resting spots in museum archive rooms safe from light and dust to be preserved for the future. The museum has a small archive room that securely protects all textile antiques such as gowns, First Nations clothing, and the museum’s over 200 quilts. There is also a larger storage room for non-textile and larger antiquities that is open to the public. The storage rooms that house the museums precious “secrets” are temperature, light and moisture controlled for preservation purposes. Sarah Robinson, an Orangeville area native, officially became the curator of DCMA in June of 2014, but she started as a volunteer five years earlier. A graduate of Guelph University with an Honours BA in History and Applied Museum Studies at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Sarah was a summer student, and Curatorial Assistant before taking over as Curator. She said former Curator Wayne Townsend was the best mentor she could have hoped for in preparing for her new position. “I learned many things in school, but I learned so many things from Wayne that I could not learn there; communicating with the community, the importance of sharing stories and showing your passion for history, as well as having a sense of humour.” General Manager of the DCMA, Darrel Keenie says that “2015 is all about the family.” The museum has lots of kid’s activities planned as well as more accessible displays to let families get closer to the history of their home County.

Congratulations to the Midget Rep’s who have earned their way through to the OMHA Championship Finals! Following on a win at home last Friday night in front of a packed CDRC arena, Shelburne faced a lightning fast South Bruce away on Saturday night for game 4. Up 2–1 in the series, Shelburne hung on to an early 2–0 lead and clinched a spot in the OMHA Championship Finals. SMHA Vice President Chris Reed said the Association are already planning to make the championship round as Ask a psychotherapist BY ALISON KERR, PH.D. Question: My 15-year-old son has always been a good kid but lately I’ve been smelling alcohol on his breath on the weekends and after he’s been to a friend’s after school. When I asked him about it, he says that some of his friends’ dads offer him beer whenever he visits. He says it’s ok because it’s “only” beer and if other parents are ok with it, why can’t we be? We don’t let him drink at home. Am I just being too uptight? Answer: Leaving aside the fact that it’s illegal in Ontario to serve alcohol to anyone under 19, both parents and kids need to learn about the particular harms that alcohol can do to developing young brains. Adolescents who start drinking at 15 are four times more likely to abuse alcohol as adults than kids who start drinking later. The latest neuroscience research is showing that the brain is not finished developing until somewhere between the ages of 24 and 26. During the adolescent years, the prefrontal cortex (or thinking part of the brain) is developing rapidly and catching up with the more emotional parts of the brain that are responsible for memory, feelings and impulsiveness among other things. Consequently, adolescents are prone to be risk-takers and experimenters while often displaying a lack of judgment or foresight about the potential long-term consequences of their behaviours. Alcohol not only causes adolescent judgment to go off-line during consumption but it has been shown to delay and in some cases to irrevocably harm the developing brain of the young. Binge-drinking (more than 5 drinks at a sitting) and blackouts are especially damaging to teen brains. exciting as they can. “We’re looking to fill our stands and make this series as exciting as we can for our players and our home town crowd and we have some special things in store!” Amy Green, OMHA Director for SMHA said, “The run for an OMHA Championship is a rare and special occurrence in any centre and we’re very proud of our boys in making it this far”. Amy is For more information on the effects of alcohol and other substances on the developing brain, see The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist’s Survival Guide to Raising adolescents and Young Adults by Frances M. Jensen, M.D. (2015) or the overview article “The Shrinking Teenage Brain” (Macleans magazine, Jan. 12, 2015). Alison Kerr, Ph.D., Psychotherapist can be reached at 905 936-2400 or at [email protected] Why is this government such a failure when it comes to jobs? Dear editor: When you look at the numbers, it is clear that the Conservative federal government has been a major failure on jobs, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s indifference to all those who are struggling to get decent full-time work is shocking. There are 140,000 more jobless Canadians today than before the recession. Last year the economy generated fewer jobs than the year before, which was down from the year before that. Job quality has hit a 25 year low according to CIBC. Lower paying jobs are growing faster than better paying ones, and more Canadians are in precarious positions. In fact, Canada has the third highest level of low-paying jobs in any developed country, according to the OECD. Not everyone is blind to reality. The Bank of • New: Madeline Tosh & Noro Silk Garden • March project(s) of the month Asymmetrical vest & 3/4 cardigan • New books are in Canada worries that job market conditions are worse than the headline numbers suggest—the number of long-term unemployed has barely gone down, many part-time workers who want full-time positions can’t get them and some have given up looking for work altogether. Odds are that you know a young graduate who has been struggling for years to get their career established, taking part-time work and contracts just to get by—sometimes well outside their field. Mr. Harper’s only response to these everyday struggles is to blame the recession. But the recession ended six years ago. He inherited a large surplus, squandered our fiscal strength and put us into deficit BEFORE the recession even began. While he claims to be focused on growth, Mr. Harper’s priority is to implement a $2 billion tax cut—Income Splitting—that will overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest, completely exclude 85% of Canadian households, and do nothing to generate economic growth. Instead of Income Splitting, Canadians would be further ahead with a vigorous plan for investments in community infrastructure, post-secondary learning and skills, and research and innovation. Those are some of the elements of a growth agenda. With better policies—and hope, ambition and hard work—Canada can regain its economic momentum and rebuild the legitimate expectation of progress, from one generation to the next.

Linton The SHELBURNE FREE PRESS, Thursday, March 12, 2015 Page 5 Shelburne man faces impaired charges, again SHELBURNE FREE PRESS In the early afternoon on Friday March 6th while on patrol, a Shelburne police officer noticed a man he recognized driving a car on town streets. The officer was familiar with this man and was aware that he was arrested and charged by one of his colleagues in January for impaired operation and over 80 in Shelburne. All impaired and over 80 charges result in immediate 90 day driver’s licence suspensions so the officer knew that this man was driving while his licence was under suspension. The officer pulled the car over to deal with the suspension issue. While conducting the investigation, the officer developed concerns that the man had been drinking alcohol resulting in his arrest. As a result of the investigation, 33 year old Travis Burke of Shelburne was arrested and charged with Driving While Under Suspension, and Over 80 Operation of a Motor Vehicle. This was Burke’s second Over 80 charge in two months. Burke was released on a promise to appear with a court date later in March. If anyone has any information in relation to this case or any other criminal activity, they are encouraged to contact the Shelburne Police Service at 519-925-3312 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.crimestopperssdm.com BY MICHELLE AUSTEN When freezing temperatures, grey skies and the occasional polar vortex blast gets you down, it sometimes seems like winter will never end. If the Winter Blues are zapping your energy here are some things that can lift your spirits. Exercise. It can be hard to find the motivation to exercise when all you want to do is bundle up on the couch with a good book and a warm duvet, but exercise really does help. When you exercise, your body releases chemicals that boost your sense of well-being and suppresses hormones that cause stress and anxiety. Eat Healthy. What you eat has a great affect on your mood and energy. Avoid refined and processed foods, which lack nutrients. They actually zap your energy. Eat more complex carbohydrates like veggies and fruit and remember to drink 8 cups of water. Healthy food provides the body with nutrients which stabilizes your energy levels. Get Some Sun. Spending time outdoors and exposure to Vitamin D improves your mood. Similar to exercise the sunlight releases chemicals that affect your mood. Lack of sunlight can cause many people to become depressed without knowing why. Keep your shades up during the day, sit near a wind in restaurants or during class. Also try changing your light bulbs to “full spectrum” bulbs which mimic natural light and actually have the same affects on your mind as the sun itself. Treat Yourself. Having something to look forward to can keep anyone motivated. Winter can seem endless however, if you plan something exciting, your mood improves when you’re anticipating it and when the event finally happens. Whether its a day at the spa, a night away or an entire week away plan something exciting. Relax. Even if you enjoy being busy, everyone needs time off every now and then. Don’t be afraid to say no in order to spend some time just doing nothing! Read a book, sleep in on the weekend, going to bed early, trying meditation or take a yoga class. Relaxing can alleviate stress while mental exercise like meditating enforces positive thinking. Ask for Help. Do not underestimate the power of friends, family, co-workers and neighbours. How to beat the winter blues Vehicle collides with house On Tuesday March 10, at 5:48 p.m. Dufferin OPP officers were dispatched to report that a vehicle had driven into a residence on northeast corner of residence located at 15th Sideroad and Highway 10 in Town of Mono. Investigation reveals that 2006 Chevrolet Impala Northbound failed to negotiate a left turn and jumped over snowbank and struck residence. The driver and vehicle fled the scene southbound on Highway 10 towards Orangeville. The vehicle then drove eastbound on Highway 9 and eventually was located by police with aid of citizen tip on 2nd Line of Mono north of Highway. The vehicle sustained extensive damage. The 20 year old male driver from Orangeville was charged with Drive Motor Vehicle no insurance; Fail to remain at scene of accident and Careless driving. He will appear in Orangeville court at a later date to answer to the charge. Alcohol was not a factor in this collision and there were no injuries.

Orangeville man charged On Tuesday, March 10 at 9 a.m., Grey County OPP was called to investigate damage to property report which resulted in the arrest of an Orangeville man. The accused, who was permitted to stay the night at a residence in Feversham in the Municipality of Grey Highlands, ended up causing extensive damage to property inside the home as well as to two motorcycles stored inside the garage. The mischief occurred between Friday, March 6th and Saturday, March 7th while the homeowner was out.

Anyone who drinks coffee depends on getting a quality product to help get them through the day. So being a regular at Jelly Craft is where I like to start each morning. All the employees know me by name and know that I drink a medium flavoured coffee every morning. Most of the regular faces I have seen there over the years have become people whom I look forward to seeing and chatting with every day. Each day Jelly Craft brews a container of regular coffee and a container of flavoured coffee. Every day the flavoured coffee changes and the only day I know what it will be is Wednesday’s when they serve Hockley Dark A BRUNETTE WITH THE BODY OF A BLONDE. Our Brewmaster had a penchant for English ale, so he created something better, combining two styles of ales he fancied while studying and brewing his way across the UK. It’s an ingenius hybrid of a Northern Brown Ale and a Midlands Mild, with a body tweaked to give it a lighter, more North American appeal. Hints of roasted nuts, caramel, chocolate, and coffee combine to make this award winner one of Ontario’s best-selling craft beers. www.hockleybeer.ca Chocolate Raspberry, my all time most absolute favourite. I never miss a Wednesday, even if I am sick and have to drag myself in, it’s that good. On special day’s when I feel like splurging, I buy one of Jelly’s Craft’s many daily made mouthwatering pastries or a muffin. I have two that I can’t say no two if they happen to catch my eye. One is their banana chocolate chip muffin the other is there pastry loaded full of a half cream cheese half strawberry filling. Next time you are downtown Shelburne stop by Jelly Craft Cafe located at 120 Main Street and try one of their many different coffee’s, daily made goodies, home made soups or monster size sandwiches they make.

The role performed by the Association on behalf of the Canadian Parliament is considerable and given the many global economic and security issues we face today, working with our European counterparts will become more and more important.” Mr. Tilson has served as President of the Canada-Europe Parliamentary Association since March 2008 and has also been a member of the Executive Committee since 2004. The Association aims to facilitate exchanges between parliamentarians in Canada, and representatives from various European institutions with the objectives of promoting Canadian interests and fostering mutual cooperation.

Wolves Midgets advance to final round Midget Rep earn spot in OMHA Championships The Midget Rep’s, sponsored by the Team at Shelburne Home Hardware, has earned their way through to the OMHA Championship Finals. Following on a win at home last Friday night in front of a packed CDRC arena, Shelburne faced a lightning fast South Bruce away on Saturday night for game 4. Shelburne entered the South Bruce arena up one with a 2–1 lead in the semi-final series. With less than two minutes into the game, Isaac Fazackerley split the defense and scored on a break-away giving Shelburne an early 1–0 lead. In the second, defenseman Darren Taylor added another with a blistering bullet from the blue line and the team hung on to defend that 2–0 lead right through the third – and clinching their spot in the OMHA Championship Finals! After the game, coaching member Dave Ritchie said “a lot of credit goes to our defense tonight. They were rock-solid and the whole team feeds off the confidence of their goalie Eric Johnson who played yet another amazing game”. Added Scott Holmes, “When we come out to play, we’re a tough team to beat. Our forwards understand what their job is on the ice and when we move the puck well and they stick to their roles, we get the chances we need to put the puck in the net”. SMHA Vice President Chris Reed said the Association is already planning to make the championship round as exciting as they can. “We’re looking to fill our stands and make this series as exciting as we can for our players and our home town crowd and we have some special things in store!” Amy Green, OMHA Director for SMHA said, “The run for an OMHA Championship is a rare and special occurrence in any centre and we’re very proud of our boys in making it this far”.

The Wolves wrapped it up with a 2–0 win on Saturday, March 7, in Teeswater to take the series and advance to the championship round. The Wolves will face Port Dover in the final. By BRiAN LOCkHARt The Shelburne Wolves Midget rep team is going to the final round of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association playoffs after winning their semi final series against South Bruce in four games. The Wolves capped the series with a 2–0 win in Teeswater on Saturday (Mar. 7). The series got underway on Feb. 27, with South Bruce taking the first game 3–1 on Shelburne home ice. Back for game two on March 1, the Wolves regrouped and came out on top with a 3–0 shutout on the road to tie the series at one. Returning to the Centre Dufferin Recreation Complex in Shelburne on Friday, March 6, for game three, the Wolves got the edge when they put up a superior defence that kept South Bruce to the outside and started the game with most of the action being contained in the South Bruce zone. Shelburne opened the scoring in the first period then scored again in the second frame with 6:02 left on the clock.

A third Shelburne goal came with :20 seconds left in the period. After no scoring in the third frame the Wolves left the ice with a 3–1 lead and a 2–1 series advantage. “We did what we had to do to win that game tonight,” said Wolves head coach Mike Glassford after Friday’s game. “When we want to play we can play with the best of them.” The Wolves defence have been keeping the shots down allowing only four goals in the series up til that point. “We’ve been strong the whole playoffs, (defensively). Johnson (goalie Eric) was on fire last Sunday when he got the shut-out and he’s still rolling here now. Our defence has been very strong,” Glassford said. The squad was confident going into game three in front of a large hometown crowd with a good contingent of South Bruce fans making the trek to support their team. “We knew what we needed to do. We got the pucks deep and finished when we should,” Said Wolves right winger Isaac Fazackerley. “We played the body and finished out hits. Our defence stood them up and got the puck out quick.” Getting ready for game four of the series, the Friday night win gave the Wolves the mental edge before heading up to Teeswater on Saturday. “I think we all played amazing tonight, “Said Wolves left winger, Jake Currie of the squad’s performance on Friday. “Everyone really worked hard. The first game they beat us so we knew we had to come out hard tonight.” The final win on Saturday moves the Wolves Midget to the championship final. The Wolves won their preliminary round with a sweep over Mariposa, then went on to dispatch Norwood in the quarter-final round winning the series 3–0. Going to the championship final, the Wolves will face Port Dover in the final showdown for the OMHA championship. The SHELBURNE FREE PRESS, Thursday, March 12, 2015 Crossroads Community Church Sunday March 8th, 2015 The Sunshine this morning gave us a glimpse of Spring; as sure as the sun rises every day so is the Lord faithful in every season of our lives. We worshiped with gladness and heart, Pastor Don shared announcements and prayed, “Dear Father God we ask for you ever present guidance to be with us, lead us on the straight path to eternal life and help us stay on course despite the storms that may come, in Jesus name Amen.” It has been an enlightening and beautiful journey through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. As we conclude today we will observe Matthew 7:13-27. Jesus presents us with two paths to choose from and both are eternal however not both lead to happily ever after, “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it,” Matthew 7:13,14. One promises eternal blessing in God’s presence the other eternal misery and destruction. Jesus says it is easy to enter the wide easy gate and many find it as it offers no restrictions and anything goes much like we see in the world around us today. This path promises pleasure, riches and we can just hit cruise control without any diligence, and we are sure to find lots of company along the way but it leads to destruction. Is this the kind of life God wants for us? This life may seem all fun and carefree but it soon becomes empty. It is much more difficult to attain God’s standards , as in the story of the young rich ruler who thought highly of himself and thought he was a pretty “Good Guy” keeping the rules, but when Jesus asked him to give up all he had , help the poor and follow Him He turned away disappointed, (Matthew 19:21-22). Now let us not tie our knickers in a knot, this doesn’t mean every single Christian will be asked to sell everything and give it away, Jesus has differ- ent callings on each of us and they usually deal with whatever it is that seems to have a higher value in our hearts than Him. We ought to be willing to give up whatever it is that He asks as we should never let anything come between us and God. The way to eternal life with God is different; it begins with a narrow gate which is Jesus himself. There may be only one that can enter at a time but there is enough room for all of humanity if they choose to enter, (John 10:9). It is true by today’s human standards, Jesus may seem narrow minded when He claims to be the only way to God, (John 14:6). As the Way He is our path to the Father, as the Truth He is the reality of all God’s promises and as the Life He joins his divine life with ours for eternity but we must choose Him. It won’t be easy, we will have to leave baggage behind, our arrogance, pride, selfish wants and we will have to relinquish our will to conform to His. We will face sacrifice, tribulation and persecution all for His sake, (Matthew 16:24, Acts 14:22, 2 Timothy 3:12). When we are questioned and judged for the way we live we shouldn’t get weary as we continue to live the way we know we should we are pleasing God and that is enough because He loves us and He sent His Son to die for us when we were still lost sinners, He did this so we may have life and have it more abundantly. We can all remember through the last century the countless so called prophets and evangelists predicting the end of the word, they deceived many poor souls with their appearance of good and holy, but turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, Jim Jones comes to mind if you can remember that far. Jesus forewarned us about false messiahs and prophets, (Matthew 7:15, 24:24). It may be difficult to spot but usually they are very self-centered, self-serving, and self-promoting. Their teachings are quite radical, they inspire death, destruction and hatred behind a veil of apparent love and peace and they don’t profess Jesus as God nor do they preach the Gospel of Christian perspectives: thankfulness What is God’s will? That is a great question – one that we often ask ourselves, particularly at critical junctures in our lives where a major decision is to be made. Do we take the job and move the family? Do we buy the house now or wait? We’re not going to be able to open our Bibles and find specific answers to those questions. We search for God’s will in those situations, but do we ever take the time to see what God’s Word clearly says is His will? How can we ask God for His will when we don’t know how He’s already asked us to respond? When we don’t know what our attitude is to be? Before we get to asking God for His will in a specific situation, it’s crucial that we understand His clearly defined will for us in all situations. He’s shared it plainly in His Word yet in this age of immediate gratification where libraries of information and answers to many questions are just a click away we expect quick, easy answers. So what does God say is His will? 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says: Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. Ephesians 5:20 says: Give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Pretty simple, right? Are you thankful – in all circumstances? It’s easy to be thankful when things are going our way. My son’s birthday is coming up, and I know that when he opens his gift up, there will be thankfulness in his eyes. Are we only thankful when we receive what we see as “gifts” from God? What about the other stuff in your life? The stuff you definitely wouldn’t call a gift? Can you be thankful? I can’t even begin to know what difficult things are going on in your life. Things I may never have nor ever will experience. Based on my own experiences, how could I tell you to be thankful? But it’s God who says that it is His will that we are thankful. God, who wrote those words knowing every tough situation that every person would ever go through! All circumstances means exactly that – all circumstances. True thankfulness flows from an understanding and knowledge of how loved, valued and precious you are to God. Do you know how precious you are? Precious enough that He sent His Son Jesus, who was lacking nothing by His Father’s side, to come down and die in your place. You’re loved. You can be thankful. Thankfulness (or lack thereof) is a good indicator of our understanding of God and His Word. Thankfulness shows that we trust His promises and what He says about His character. God’s character never changes. He’s always loving. Do you believe that, even when things are tough? Can you be thankful, knowing that He cares? Thankfulness can flow when we know and understand God’s promises. Can you take the promises from James 1, apply them to your situation and be thankful? Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. (James 1:2-4) The trial you find yourself in is hard no doubt about it. But don’t waste it. See it for what it is – an opportunity for you faith in God to grow. It’s an opportunity for great joy, and something that we can incredibly thankful for. Thankfulness takes our focus off of the situation and places it on God – where it should be. It keeps us rooted in the truths of who God is and what He has done for us. These are Page 9 Salvation through Christ. They promote immorality, greed and lies, (2 Peter 2”1). We know what a false prophet looks like, so how does God measure a Good one by? In scripture we often hear of fruit, it signifies goodness and prosperity, figuratively it often was used to determine whether a person was good or bad, “we can identify a tree by its fruit” was often heard, (Matthew 7:16-20). In God’s Kingdom fruit are not material things but spiritual attributes, (Galatians 5:22-23). Now some may say they are good and don’t need Jesus or the Church because they pride themselves by the good they do. As Christians we believe that any good we are able to do is by God’s grace and mercy, and we could never match the goodness of Jesus and His sacrifice for us. When we do good more often than none it goes unnoticed by man but acknowledged by God himself and that is more than enough. Despite our imperfections we continue to do good because we are empowered by the Spirit of God, it is not of ourselves and this is what brings God the Glory. So when we apply this measure to evaluate a teacher of God’s word we will see it reflected in their daily lives. Their actions will match what they preach and they will be walking closely with God, their relationship with Jesus will manifest in all they do. Beloved how can we reflect this kind of fruit you may ask? We need to know Jesus, spend time with Him in the Word and in prayer, we need His constant flow of power to live as we should, learn from Him and obey. That is the strong foundation He was talking about in His parable of Matthew 7:24-27. The more time we spend with Him the more our behavior will change for the better; we will be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above ourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, and keeping our spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. We will be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. When storms of life come we will be able to stand on Jesus our Rock, and when others see, they too will believe! Asherey Shalom!

Thankfulness will pull you out of self pity and let you see what God wants to accomplish. Thankfulness keeps us from being self absorbed. Thankfulness stops us from spending our time worrying.

The Brampton native replaces former Branch Manager, Lorrie Brennan, who retired after 35 years with TD a few weeks ago. Bachan says she is looking forward to overseeing the branch and its tellers, but admits that the bank is already running pretty smoothly. “Everyone here is so customer focused,” Bachan told the Free Press, and reminds the public, “I’m always here for help and advise.” On why residents of Shelburne should choose TD Canada Trust, Bachan had this to say, “We will meet all of your banking needs – from personal loans, to commercial accounts and everything in between. We have longer hours and new, innovative bank machines, as well as 24-hour Internet and phone banking available to our customers.” Drop into the branch, located at the intersection of Main and Owen Sound Street, in the heart of downtown Shelburne, anytime to meet Bachan, and give her a big welcome to the community!

The Pan Am Games are the 3rd largest international multi-sport games after the Olympics and the Asian games and takes place every four years. Athletes from across Latin America, South America, the Caribbean and North America participate. The first Pan Am Games took place in 1951 in Buenos Aires and included 2513 participants from 14 nations. Today with over 41 participating nations, it is expected to have over 7000 participants. All of the sports in the Pan Am Games are also in the Olympics, as it serves as a qualifying tournament to them. The Parapan Am Games are held immediately following their respective Pan Am Games. Three-thousand torchbearers will proudly carry the flame on a 41-day journey towards lighting the cauldron on July 10, 2015 to officially open the Games. The Pan Am flame represents the history and spirit of the Games and is traditionally lit outside Mexico City in Teotihuacan at the Pyramid of the Sun, in a ceremony led by native Aztecs. Following the lighting, the flame will be handed over to a representative from the Host City, then it is flown back to Canada to begin its nationwide journey. Although the flame comes as close as Alliston and Orangeville it does not travel directly through Shelburne. With over 20,000 volunteers involved during the event it is anticipated to generate $150 million in business revenue in the Greater Golden Horseshoe area of Ontario. Venues are located in municipalities across southern Ontario from Oshawa to Welland. Close to home the Pan Am Cross-Country Center is located at the Will O’ Wind Farm in Mono, ON, and will serve as the Pan Am Cross-Country Centre for the thrilling one-day equestrian cross-country event. The world-class Caledon Pan Am Equestrian Park will welcome competitors in the disciplines of Jumping and Dressage. Some of the most in-demand tickets for the Pan Am Games are going fast, while tickets to key events such as the Opening Ceremony have already been snapped up. Make sure you’ve got your tickets to the top events before they’re gone! For more information on the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games go to www.toronto2015. org Photo by ruth cruIkShank, trInIty unIted church WorLd day of Prayer – Shelburne and area churches shared in World Day of Prayer on March 6th. Service took place at the Mel Lloyd Centre where Laina Kingdon (seen front and centre in this photo at a United Church Women’s luncheon) gave a presentation about prayer. “It is an awesome privilege,” said Laina, a member of Bethel Bible Chapel in Shelburne, “for us to be able, by our prayers to help people who are close to us as well as people on the other side of the world.” The motto for World Day of Prayer is “Informed Prayer and Prayerful Action” promoting the belief that prayer and action are indivisible. The theme this year, “Radical Love” was created by the women of the Bahamas to celebrate their faith, culture and islands as they led women across the world in prayer. Since its founding in 1922, a portion of offerings received at each World Day of Prayer Service go to local and global projects in need. Many area churches participate in the planning and presentation of the worship service including Bethel Bible Chapel, Trinity United Church, St. Paul’s Anglican Church, St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, Grace Church of the Nazarene, Crossroads Church, and Abiding Place Ministries. Next year, Helen Redmond and Elisabeth Liekermoser from St. Patrick’s Church will arrange the event to be held, once again, at the Mel Lloyd Center. Late start to maple syrup season by mIcheLLe auSten Life isn’t as sweet as some maple farmers would like these days. The recent cold temperatures are preventing the sap from flowing out of maple trees, putting a damper on syrup production season. Ontario’s maple syrup season usually runs from February through April, with warm days and cold nights providing the ideal condition for collecting sap. The lack of warmer daytime temperatures is not allowing sap to travel up the tree to be collected. Ideal conditions for sap to flow fluctuate between -4 degrees at night and 5 degrees during the day. Now for those of you with a sweet tooth, there is no need to worry, there is still plenty of time in the season for things to bounce back. As the world’s fourth largest producer of maple syrup, Ontarians have long know about this delight first introduced by North American natives when European settlers first arrived. Early settlers learned the process of boiling sap and have since improved the methods, however, the process remains unchanged since those early days. It takes 30-40 gallons of sap to boil down to one gallon of maple syrup and typically a sugar maple tree has to be about 35 years old before it becomes productive. In a good year the sap from one tap will produce one litre of syrup. Sap directly from a tree is not very sweet and by condensing it, it becomes the sweet nectar we know it to be. With over 500 producers belonging to the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers Association, lovers of maple products have a lot of choice when it come to choosing a maple delight. Whether you purchase maple syrup from a road side producer, a country store or a supermarket, be sure to look for the Ontario Maple Seal of Quality for a syrup that has been made by a conscientious producer using best practices. Once opened, containers of syrup should be refrigerated, while tightly sealed containers of syrup can be frozen for up to one year. However, the best way to experience maple products is to visit a local sugar shack, where many local producers have visitors taste freshly made syrup drizzled on snow. A day at a sugar shack is both educational and delicious!

Glenbrook’s Parent Council says “the funds from the dance go to a number of projects including the playground, scientists in the school, artists in the school, library programs and books. Students worked hard to fill pledge sheets with sponsorships, help with decorations, music and motivating everyone to get involved.. Tom Thompson the principal at Glenbrook Elementary says the “dance-a-thon was a tremendous success thanks to the support that we received from our School Council, students, staff and parents.” The hardworking school raised $5,601.26 at the event and Scotia Bank matched the $5000 for a total of $10601.26. The dance-a-thon is Glenbrook’s biggest annual fundraiser; in 2014 the school ended the year with over $15000 in their playground account and continue to be creative with traditional fundraising, including pizza days and candy grams. The Parent Council hope to create a playground for physical exercise, but also one that will facilitate the arts, science, math and language components of the school curriculum. The cost will be in the tens of thousands of dollars and they continue to look for support, such as that so gratefully received from the Scotiabank.
