DCMA welcomes spring with ‘Maple Syrup Festival’ BY WENDY GABREK Last week, during March Break, the Dufferin County Museum & Archives (DCMA) held its annual ‘Maple Syrup Festival’ – welcoming spring, and honouring the “flow of things”. Participants of the event were invited to explore the history and science of making maple syrup by visiting six learning stations, set up inside the museum and outside, in the sugar bush. The event, aimed at allowing residents to discover how Dufferin County pioneers made syrup and how it is produced today, was very well attended. Maple syrup related games, crafts, and storybooks were on hand to browse through, and maple fudge was available to sample just outside of the museum’s Tea Room. The six stations included: 1. The Tree. Participants were encouraged to “find out how to identify the sugar maple tree” – as making maple syrup starts with the sugar maple trees. It has the most sugar in its sap of any tree. 2. Start of the season. The passport challenge: “to learn how to tap a maple to harvest its sap”. When the sugaring season starts, it is time to tap the tree. It needs to be done right so the tree does not get hurt. 3. Collecting the sap. “Find out how sap was collected by pioneers and how it is collected today”. Collecting sap is hard work. Sometimes buckets have to be empties two or three times a day. It is important not to waste a drop of sap. 4. Tools required. The passport challenge: “Find out what tools pioneers and First Nations used to boil sap into syrup”. When sap arrives at the sugar camp or sugar shack, it is time to bring it to a boil. Heating up the sap takes away water and leaves behind a liquid with more sugar. 5. Bottling. “Find out how maple syrup is classified in Ontario. When sap has been turned into syrup it is ready to be graded, bottled, labeled and sold. Real maple syrup will say “pure” on the bottle. 6. Maple Sugar. “Find our how maple sugar is made”. Pioneers liked to make maple sugar because it would keep longer than syrup and was easy to transport for sale. Once participants finished visiting the indoor stations, they were welcomed to head outside to the sugar bush and watch sap turn to syrup in the cauldron and enjoy a delicious maple taffy treat.

Mayor presents Mike Fazackerley with Award of Excellence PHOTO BY MARNI WALSH Mayor Ken Bennington (left) presented Mike Fazackerley with a Community Excellence Award at Council on March 23rd. Mr. Fazackerley has served on the Minor Hockey Board for five years as well as coaching. BY MARNI WALSH Monday night’s Council meeting started with a celebration as local resident Mike Fazackerley accepted a Community Excellence Award from the Town of Shelburne. Mayor Ken Bennington presented the award consisting of a certificate commemorating the occasion and a medal of distinction. Mr. Fazackerley was nominated for the award by Chris La Form the President of the Shelburne Minor Hockey Association. La Form reported that Mike Fazackerley had been a part of the Shelburne Minor Hockey Board for five years and had coached young players previous to that commitment. In a letter to Council, Chris La Form wrote: “Mike has played an important role in establishing many initiatives in regards to financial stability, player development, sportsmanship and respect for team mates, opponents and guests alike. My personal feeling is that Mr. Fazackerley embodies what the spirit of this award stands for and would make a most deserving recipient.” Mayor Bennington, who has also been involved with the Shelburne Minor Hockey League for a number of years, coaching and refereeing games since 1997, said he recalled, not so long ago, when there was much concern amongst the association and praised Mr. Fazackerley, saying, “Under your leadership you have brought back stability.” Mr. Fazackerley thanked Council saying that the award was unexpected, “but very appreciated.” He spoke about the renewed enthusiasm for the sport of hockey in Shelburne and how great it was to see the stands filling up to watch the games. Council resumed in Chambers with a delegation from Youth for Christ. The charitable organization which manages “The Door” Youth Centre in Shelburne came to introduce themselves to new Council members and update the Town on “how the Door has been progressing since moving to the new building on Owen Sound Street. They asked for financial support from the Town to help them with a short fall in funding. Council made a motion to support the group with $5000 to help cover bills for 2015. Auditors from BDO accounting also presented a delegation on the 2014 Financial Statement for the Town of Shelburne. The report was designed to highlight key elements of the statement as part of BDO’s communication strategy with Council. The statement reviewed the Town’s financial position, highlighting changes in capital assets, net debt and financial assets. Highlights on the “five year financial position” reported reserves have been increasing steadily in recent years with an increase in cash available for current use. However, the report also noted that “capital grants decreased significantly in 2011, resulting in the Municipality having to fund their capital projects through other means,” such as “long term debt, gas tax funding, and development charges.” SHELBURNE Thursday, April 2nd 12:30pm - 2:30pm at Shelburne Curling Club FreePress SUBSCRIBE NOW!

Mr. Harper’s refusal to implement credible environmental policy over the past nine years has deeply damaged Canada’s economic interests and international reputation. His diplomatic miscues on the Keystone file have made the situation worse. This $8 billion project would have connected Canadian oil with refineries in the U.S. Gulf Coast. That would narrow the discount on the price of our oil relative to world markets, boosting our economy and employment. What should have been a win-win proposition has dragged on for years due to Mr. Harper’s tin ear. He deeply misjudged the President, who had directly linked the approval of this project to the need for greater action from Canada on climate change. Instead of addressing President’s legitimate concerns, Mr. Harper tried to spin and bully to get his way, spending millions on ads and telling a group of American businessmen that “you don’t take no for an answer”. These tactics did not work on the President of the United States. This is a failure of one of a Canadian Prime Minister’s central responsibilities: to get Canadian resources to market. A failure of this magnitude was unthinkable between Brian Mulroney and Ronald Reagan, or between Jean Chrétien and Bill Clinton. To get projects approved, you need leadership that works well with others. But this is a Prime Minister who will not meet with premiers or Indigenous Leaders, who calls those who want to safeguard the environment eco-terrorists, and who cancelled the three amigos conference with Mexico and the United States. There is a better way. Liberals recognize that progress depends on regaining public trust. A Liberal government will work with provinces and territories to establish a pan-Canadian framework to reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change. It will give each the flexibility to design their own policies best suited to their situation to meet these commitments, including carbon pricing. With credible environmental policies and astute diplomacy, Keystone XL can move forward. The sooner, the better. Geoff Regan, MP Liberal Critic for Natural Resources Ask a psychotherapist BY ALISON KERR, PH.D Question: My mother just turned 87 and is still driving. She’s fiercely independent and has no intention of giving it up. But the last few times my sister and I drove with her, we were scared witless! She kept veering onto the shoulder and didn’t seem to know where the road was! My sister said Mom would have run through a stop sign if she hadn’t yelled. Mom won’t listen to reason on this and says there’s no problem. I’m afraid she’s going to kill herself or somebody else. What should I do? Answer: It’s so difficult when our parents begin to lose their faculties and become less capable of functioning independently in the world. Often both they and we wish to deny the reality of change. However, it’s important to recognize that after young males, debilitated seniors cause the most accidents, many of them fatal. You and your sister are recognizing that your mother’s abilities as a driver are failing. The change often appears as a lack of judgment on the part of the elder. They may sincerely believe that they’re not impaired and may feel outraged, diminished or humiliated by the threat of losing control at the hands of their adult children. But while compassion and understanding of our elders predicament is called for, it’s not responsible to let debilitated seniors drive. While people 80 and older must pass a written test every two years, they may not be required to demonstrate their abilities during a road test unless they’ve already had an accident. Concerned adult children should report their concerns in writing to the senior’s doctor. This report should include any near-accidents witnessed along with observations of the elder’s driving behaviour by passengers. The OPP will speak with concerned family members and disclose traffic violations and accidents on the senior’s driving record of which family members may not be aware. This information should be passed on to the elder’s doctor.

The dog owner let his boxer named Storm out Missing this? Police want to hear from you On Monday March 16th Shelburne Police entered into a mischief investigation in regards to a complaint about graffiti on a residential fence. This photo is of a recovered spray paint can believed to be used to cause the damage along a laneway. The Shelburne Police is interested in hearing from anyone who recognizes the paint can and believes it may have been taken from their residence or workplace. Also anyone who knows who caused, or has heard rumours of who caused this mischief are encouraged to contact Shelburne Police. 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 in the area of his workplace, Early’s Machining on Steeles Street, to go to the washroom. When Storm didn’t return the owner went looking for him. Unable to find Storm he started asking around when he found a witness who advised they saw the family pet taken into a SUV. The early investigation included locating and interviewing witnesses, and viewing local business security video footage. However the investigation took an interesting turn as a result of Storm’s family listing him missing on social media. The pet’s family was notified by a woman from the London area who had a Want Ad listed on Kijiji for a purebred boxer. This woman responded to the ad and then contacted the pet owner family with a picture of the dog being sold by the third party. The pet owners were convinced that the dog in the picture was Storm. The woman from London arranged a meeting to view the dog in the Proton Station area, northwest of Shelburne on Friday March 20th. In the meantime, the pet owner’s family got a phone call from a person claiming they have their dog and wanted to be paid for his return. Shelburne Police accompanied members of Storm’s family to the pre-arranged meeting place near Proton Station. As a result Storm was happily re-united with his family, and the continuing investigation resulted in two people from Grey Highlands being arrested. 37 year old Malgorzta Sztylka was arrested and charged under the Criminal Code with Extortion, and Possession of Property Obtained by Crime. 67 year old Jerzy Sztylka was arrested and charged under the Criminal Code with Theft under $5000 and Possession of Property Obtained by Crime. The two accused have a first appearance court Shelburne dog tags due April 1st dog to howl or bark excessively, and fail to remove excrement. The fine for all these infractions is $55. The Shelburne Police regularly responds to calls about dogs. To effectively and efficiently deal with these calls the police need to be able to identify the dogs and their owners. If police are unable to identify a dog’s owner or home the only option is to have the dog taken to a pound. This is one of the reasons for the town bylaw requiring all dogs to have current dog tags. These tags need to be renewed every year. The deadline for 2014 dog tags is April 1st. The cost of the 1st dog tag is $20. If a second tag is required the cost is $30 and the third tag is $80. Dog owners are also reminded that unless dogs are fenced in or in a home on private property, they must be controlled on a leash. Dogs are not allowed to run free anywhere in the town of Shelburne including any parks. It is also the responsibility of dog owners to clean up all excrement their dogs leave anywhere other than on their own private property. Here is a list of the by-laws that relate to dogs in the town of Shelburne: Fail to procure licence, fail to secure tag to dog, fail to secure dog by lead, permit dog to run at large, permit date in April at the Orangeville Court House. 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 Distracted Driving Dufferin OPP were kept busy throughout the distracted driving enforcement initiative with the following results: Enforcement hours: 302; Distracted Driving Charges: 14; Speeding Charges: 191; Moving Viola- Bicycle safety A long winter is almost over.

Owner Diane Griffith recently took over the wool store, formerly known as Woolly’s, on Main Street, Shelburne. The building has lots of history and was once the Old Bakery, as well as Silks Bakery. Dripping in history, this building was the perfect location for Diane to continue in the business of wool. She refurbished and gave the store a new homely, comfortable look, and outfitted the store with a great variety of quality fine yarns, that loyal shoppers are accustomed to – as well as lots of new, in-stock items. In fact, the old shelving in the store, which has been given a face-lift was the old housing for the baked goods from the previous bakery! This quaint, colourful small town store is, “Where beautiful things begin,” said Diane. Pictured is Leeanne employee at wool and silk Every customer that comes through the door has the same passion, and how lovely to have something to enjoy and be creative with. There are ‘Sit & Knits’, classes and even a Saturday morning knitting group. The events gives people the chance to get together with friends, and share interests in knitting and crocheting. Also new to the store is the ‘DMC & Cross’ stitch supplies. So be sure to stop in and check them out. For more information and details on classes that they run, drop by and see for yourself or call The Wool & Silk Co. at 519 925-6194, or e-mail [email protected].

Outside of Council Chambers, the group expressed gratitude to the Rotary Club for a generous donation of $1000 last month, as well as $250 from Cross Roads Church in Shelburne. The Door’s golf tournament raised $2,700 in October and a recent March 7th spaghetti supper raised another $600. On May 2nd the youth at The Door will present a full course roast beef dinner and an original play for further funding. The Door Youth Director, 24 year old Mandy McCallum, who ministers to the Youth, is paid separately, raising the money through various funding connections and supporters. “Mandy has done a great job in ministry,” says Chair Ken Gallinger, “She attends the Shelburne Ministerial meetings and has improved communications there.” She also spends two or three days a week at the high school during lunchtime as a connection for kids who might want to talk. At Monday night’s council meeting the Youth for Christ representatives asked Council to consider funding of $5000 to get the group through the year. Councillor Wade Mills, who has been taking strides to form a Youth Committee for the Town, asked if there were any opportunities for provincial funding. The group replied there were not – due to the religious foundation of the organization. By Marni Walsh “The Door,” a Christian Youth drop in centre, has become a familiar part of Shelburne’s landscape in the last ten years, providing a place for youth ages 10-18 to socialize in a mentoring environment. In 2013, they moved from their mobile unit, a truck often seen at Jack Downey Park, to the Anglican Church manse for a “very reasonable” rate. Yearly costs run around $12000 and the organization has come up short. March 13th, Youth for Christ representatives asked the Town of Shelburne for help to keep “The Door” open. Bob Sibeon, of the Steering Committee and a member of Cross Roads Church, spoke for the group. He reminded the Councillors that the group had a good history with the Town, which had supported the purchase of the truck years ago, and that The Door was “an important part of the fabric of Shelburne. “We serve kids who are not being served anywhere else,” said Sibeon. The group reports that over 90 youth attend their programs and that numbers are constantly growing as the town expands. “We have been working towards funding, but we are falling short,” said Sibeon. The costs of operating from a permanent location obviously run much higher than the mobile unit, where the all-volunteer, charitable organization must pay Shelburne Youth for Christ is a satellite of Highland Youth for Christ in Orangeville, one of “30 independently incorporated chapters across Canada.” Highland Youth for Christ has 20 working staff, including satellite leaders like Shelburne’s Mandy McCallum. According to Debbie Harrison of the Shelburne Youth for Christ Steering Committee, the organization was originally created by the Covenant Alliance Church which, according to their Orangeville website, is “a bible believing evangelical church.” The Shelburne group told Council Monday night that “everyone is welcome at The Door.” Outside of Council Chambers, Chair Ken Gallinger told The Free Press the organization does not force Christianity on the youth – the only stipulation was for members of the Steering Committee: they must “accept Christ as their saviour.” According to Highland’s Youth for Christ website, the organization’s mission is: “To participate in the body of Christ in the responsible evangelism of youth, presenting them with the person, work and teaching of Jesus Christ and discipling them into the local church.” The representatives did not present mission statements, financial records or plans to Council; nor was there any in Council discussion about why Shelburne’s seven local churches did not fully fund Youth for Christ. Based on their history with the Town, Council went outside of their budget, and made a motion granting $5000 to the group to help support their efforts with Shelburne youth for 2015. Council told representatives they must develop a plan before approaching Council for further funding. Representatives were elated at the support, telling reporters, “Council came through just Coming to New Tecumseth on Saturday, April 18 is the Waterloo Regional Police Male Chorus who will perform at the Tottenham Community Centre. The concert is at 7 p.m. and is hosted by the Beeton Trinity United Church. This is a concert you do not want to miss so get your tickets now.

The Wolves gave up a 6–5 loss. They travelled to Port Dover on Sunday (Mar. 22) but came up short losing game four to end the series. By Brian Lockhart The Shelburne Wolves Midget rep team ended their season on a high note - with a trip to the OMHA finals. They ended the series with a 5–1 loss to Port Dover on Sunday (Mar. 22) that ended the best of five championship final series. The Wolves had a terrific playoff run sweeping their opening round over Mariposa in three games then going on to the quarter-final and again were undefeated against Norwood. Moving into the semi-final round the Wolves advanced to the final after winning in four games over South Bruce. That set up the championship series with the Port Dover Pirates. The championship round got underway on March 13, with the Pirates squeezing out the Wolves 5–4 in game one at the Centre Dufferin Recreation Complex. Game two tied the series when the Wolves went to Port Dover on March 15, and left with a 3–1 win to make it even. The series returned to Shelburne on Friday (Mar. 20) night for game three. This game was an epic battle when the Pirates tied the game with 4:45 remaining then got the go-ahead goal with 2:32 left on the clock. The first Wolves goal came from Jake Currie. Showing their tenacity as a team, the Wolves battled back from a three goal deficit with Port Dover leading 4-1 in the second frame. Nate Newmaster took the feed across the net in the second period to score Shelburne’s second goal. A scramble in front of the net ended with Jake Currie popping in the Wolves’ third goal and his second of the game. Shelburne forward Nate Newmaster tied the game at four with a beautiful shot to the top corner of the Port Dover net. The final period was a battle to score and beat the clock. Shelburne’s Brandon Richardson got goal number five and with less than five minutes on the clock It was again a tie game when the Pirates responded and scored to make it a 5–5 game. The game ended with a Pirates goal with 2:32 left on the clock and the series returned to Port Dover for game four of the series. The final game was a do-or-die for the Wolves who battled hard. The final game loss gave the series and the championship to Port Dover. Midget Rep takes silver and thank the community for tremendous support It’s been a number of years that we’ve seen so many fans come out to cheer on a local hockey team. With standing room only and edge of the seat excitement for both home games, the Shelburne Community came out in droves to lend their support to the Midget Rep team. SMHA President Chris LaForm said “we’re very proud of the effort that our boys brought forth and it was incredible to see the support that our community offered. The Town was certainly abuzz with excitement and it was wonderful to see that support in attendance numbers at our arena”. After a close loss in game 3 at home and falling behind 2–1 in the series, the Midget Rep’s faced Port Dover in their arena for game 4 on Sunday last. Dover put 2 goals on the board in the first and Shelburne was able to answer with 1 from Asst. Captain Drew Downey. Despite a close back and forth game, Dover was able to hold onto to their lead through the 3rd and 2 late empty netters sealed the Wolves fate. Despite the loss, the Shelburne Wolves Midget Rep Team, sponsored by Shelburne Home Hardware and Bob Currie Masonry, had an incredible series run beating out a variety of tough Ontario teams both East and West to earn a coveted spot in the OMHA Championship Finals. “Of course it would have been great to win”, 2015 Shelburne Shooters Minor Ball Hockey League said Captain Dean Currie, “but we’re all still pretty proud to say we made it right through to the finals. We know our families, our coaches and the fans were with us the whole way so this is one season end none of us will ever forget”! “It really was a pleasure for me, my brother Nick, Dave Ritchie, Scott Holmes and Brian McBride to be able to coach the boys this year”, stated Head Coach Mike Glassford. “They really are a close bunch of players on ice and a close bunch of friends off ice. We hope this was just one more season where they are as proud of each other as we and everyone is of them. We wish the boys all the best as many move on to attend college or start their careers. And a special shout-out to Terry Fines, added Glassford. “Without her, our season wouldn’t have been near as organized or as enjoyable so thank you Terry”! The Midget Rep Team of Dean Currie, Jake Currie, Drew Downey, Stephen Falls, Isaac Fazackerley, Nick Fines, Keith Gordanier, Darrin Janke, Eric Johnson, Zack LaForm, Chayse McCallum, Ty McCallum, Nathan Newmaster, Brandon Richardson, Lucas Ritchie and Darren Taylor all wish to say a great big THANK YOU to their coaches, families, sponsors and supporters for a great 2014-2015 season!

The SHELBURNE FREE PRESS, Thursday, March 26, 2015 Crossroads Community Church Sunday March 22nd, 2015 Spring is here and we rejoice as the sun melts away the snow and the Son makes all things new. Pastor Don shared announcements and much needed prayer requests. He then prayed over us, “Dear Father God, we pray for malleable hearts, the kind that seeks to please you and follows your guidance, help us trust your plans for our lives, help us not become impatient and take matters into our own hands which causes strife, in Jesus name, Amen.” Today we continue to learn from the rollercoaster life of Jacob in Genesis. So far we have seen the deceiving spirit he had towards his brother and father, his spiritual condition was wicked without a relationship with God. Last week we left off in the plot of Jacob and his mother tricking Isaac to give him the firstborn blessing instead of Esau. The plan was set, Rebecca cooked a meal, disguised Jacob and he went to deliver the bowl of deception to Isaac. Jacob obtained what he wanted, he received the blessing but at what cost. (Genesis 27:2729). Jacob never saw his mother again, his mother had heard of Esau’s plan to seek revenge so she quickly told him to flee to her brother’s house, his Uncle Laban. Once in Laban’s house the old adage of what goes around comes around fell to him as he was deceived by his Uncle. Meanwhile he was exiled from his family for over 2 decades, his brother formed an enemy nation; the Edomites. Things could have been less troublesome if he and his mother had waited for the Lord’s timing concerning the birthright promise God had already made in Genesis 25:23; Although the promise was made it didn’t mean he would enjoy the blessing immediately, it was essential for him to build a relationship with God for himself not rely on the relationship his father and grandfather had with the Lord. God is never caught by surprise when we hasten situations; he uses those circumstances to mold us into who we need to be to fit into His glorious plans. While on his way to Uncle Laban, Jacob became tired and set up camp, but his sleep was disturbed. In a dream that night, God came to Jacob and established his covenant with him as he had with Abraham and Isaac. God was repurposing Jacob’s journey, we read later that God changed Ladies Night: Mar. 27th BY WENDY GABREK Cobwebs and Caviar, owned by AJ Cavey, is hosting a ‘Ladies Night’ this Friday, March 27th. “Come check out all the fabulous spring fashions,” Cavey said to her customers, new and old. “Greet the sun with a few fun new things!” Cobwebs and Caviar is filled with the latest and newest in jewelry, scarves and awesome clothes!. Refreshments, specials, door prizes and giggles….lots of giggles. Round up your girlfriends for a fun nights out and bring you husbands, boyfriends, or partners too! Jacob’s name to Israel. After Jacob’s encounter with God, he placed his faith in Him; Jacob was now part of God’s plan and made a vow to Him. You would think making this kind of vow was enough to ensure a trouble free life, but not quite, Jacob had many lessons to learn. Once in Haran in Laban’ house, Jacob fell in love with his uncle’s daughter Rachel. Since he did not have money, he agreed to work for 7 years in exchange for her hand in marriage, however Laban conveniently omitted the fact that the custom was to marry the first born daughter and so on the day he wed, he was tricked into marrying Leah, first lesson learned. Jacob still wanted Rachel, so Laban again tricked Jacob into another 7 years of labor to have her. He eventually needed to work another 6 years to obtain his own livestock. I wonder how much Jacob enjoyed that bowl of deception. Jacob was disappointed but God used it as an opportunity to teach Jacob about submission. Jacob had initially failed to submit to God’s timing concerning the promise and resorted to trickery, God needed to humble Jacob, God was forming his character. During all this time God still blessed Jacob and prospered him. Jacob became wealthy and earned Laban’s trust and respect. Then only then was Jacob ready to go home, God prepared him for the right time and assured Jacob of His presence for the journey back. Further ahead we see that Jacob is afraid, he feared Esau may retaliate so he sent messengers ahead with a humble and reverent message. He was given the feedback that Esau was coming with an army of 400! So what now? Jacob had no choice but call out to God. He acknowledged his unworthiness before God and he sent his family away safe fearing for them. Jacob again was alone, he struggled with God all night and begged for his blessing, he fought because he would not surrender all his will to God, so the Lord touched Jacob’s hip and wrenched it out of place which left Jacob with a limp the rest of Page 9 his life, perhaps as a reminder to not resist God but always submit. Beloved, Jacob was heading the wrong way far from God and God met him and redirected his path. How many of us need that today? We can all agree that patience doesn’t come easy surrendering is not natural even for us believers, we struggle with waiting on the Lord’s timing and want to hold on to things that are harmful to our spiritual life. How many of us have been like Jacob and took matters in our own strength, devised a way to make something happen sooner rather than wait, how did that work out? What has God had to do to finally get our attention? We need to be a people of faith in God, trusting his timing and obeying his instructions for our lives. Friends it is not enough to hear stories of great people of faith we need to be part of the story. So if we feel we have strayed too far, we can always call out to the One who can redeem us and set us on the right path again, may our wills conform to His…. Asherey Shalom!

David Howes [email protected] ST PAUL’S ANGLICAN CHURCH Another win under their belts for Shelburne’s Midget LL2 last week March 20th when they wiped the board in Creemore at the annual Hockey Tournament. The Midgets eased into their first game of the day with Bruce Peninsula. An early start, as the first game of the day the team showed their skill and teamwork by keeping a tight knit squad, constantly carrying the puck to the opponents net. A win of 5–1 took the team onto game 2 with Creemore’s home team which started slow on both sides. Periods 1 and 2 offered no goals to either team, until the Shelburne wolves took control of period 3 with the first goal being netted by Kyle Burke unassisted. The final second goal by Rhett Fleming, again unassisted gave a winning game to Shelburne with their Goal tender Joe Woollett having a shut out and qualifying the team for the final champion- ship game with their win of 2–0. The championship game was against Bruce Peninsula and having already played this team at the tournament already the boys were familiar with their opponents tactics. A slow start again with period one bringing no goals, and having to step up to the game, Wolves skill and speed immersed in periods 2 and 3. A final score of 8–2 for Shelburne brought the championship home to Shelburne. Goal scorers were: Kyle Burke, Rhett Fleming, Dylan Dever, Justin Bennett, Liam Mcleod, and Jared Moore.

The financial security and well-being of seniors is important to our Government and we are providing real support to Canada’s seniors. Recognizing the value of community-based projects that keep seniors active and engaged in their communities, our Government is proud to deliver significant support for seniors through targeted initiatives like the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP). In Economic Action Plan 2014, we bolstered support for the NHSP, delivering even more support to projects benefitting seniors in communities across Canada. The NHSP supports community-based projects that encourage volunteerism, engage seniors in their community through mentoring opportunities, expand awareness of elder abuse, support the social participation and inclusion of seniors, or provide capital assistance to improve new and existing seniors’ facilities. These senior-led or senior-inspired programs are helping ensure that seniors can benefit from and contribute to the quality of life in their communities through active living and participation in social activities. Since 2006, our Government has worked hard to improve the well-being of seniors. We have worked to eliminate elder abuse and we passed the Protecting Canada’s Seniors Act to help better protect seniors and victims of elder abuse. We have also taken strong action to put money back into the pockets of seniors. Through our targeted tax-saving measures, like pension income-splitting and increasing the Age Credit amount, we are providing significant tax relief for seniors and pensioners. Furthermore, by introducing the largest Guaranteed Income Supplement increase in over 25 years, we are helping improve the well-being of seniors across Canada. Every dollar counts and these measures are helping seniors make ends meet. Our Government is standing up for seniors. Canada’s seniors have helped build our great nation. They have and continue to contribute greatly to our society and economy and as we stay focused on the priorities of Canadians, our Government will continue to work hard to support seniors and improve the quality of life in our communities.
