Fundraising for a new playgroundErnest Cumberland Elementary School (ECES) is fundraising for a playground. “Due to infrastructure changes as a result of fluctuations in our school population, our students have been without playground structures over the past three years,” read a note sent home with students in late 2016, as signed by Brieanne Robson and Nancy Young, ECES school council co-chairs. “Our goal is to offer opportunities for students to enhance their fitness levels, well-being and positive peer relationships through play.” As outdoor playground equipment is considered an enhancement, and not funded by the province, the onus of raising the required funds ($50,000) falls on the school council, and although students and parents at ECSC have been fundraising through various activities and events, it will likely be three years or more before the playground equipment can be purchased. The School Council is looking to partner with members of the community to help them reach their fundraising goals faster. Donors will be acknowledged in the school newsletter, and any donations over $20 will receive a tax receipt. For more information, contact Brieanne Robson at [email protected], or Nancy Young at [email protected]. Shown above, the playground, now completely empty, will be the site of the future outdoor playground once fundraising is complete.

Tension was high in the council chambers Jan. 9 as Tottenham resident Nancy McBride voiced her dis-pleasure with the town’s plan to fix the water prob-lem in her community.

McBride told council that she had filed a Part II Order with the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, which would lead to fur-ther investigation of the town’s proposed solution.

The town’s plan in-

volves extending the Geor-gian Bay water pipeline, which already services Alliston and Beeton, into Tottenham. The pipeline would serve as a primary source of water for the community, with blend-ing of water from the Tot-tenham wells taking place when the pipeline water is in shorter supply.

McBride addressed council to explain why she felt this plan was not good enough for the community, saying that unless the pipe-line water capacity was

greatly increased from the plant in Collingwood, not enough water would make it to Tottenham.

“If we don’t have any extra water from a new plant in Collingwood,” McBride told council, “we’re really not going to get any water coming from Alliston and Beeton.”

McBride fears that this plan requires too much re-liance on the Tottenham well water system, which

contains high levels of tri-halomethanes, iron, lead and chlorine.

“The idea of a pipeline coming to save us is, I be-lieve, a lot of smoke and mirrors,” said McBride.

Councillor Chris Ross openly disagreed with Mc-Bride’s statements, saying that the town’s plan was carefully researched and provides the best possible solution to Tottenham’s water problem. He stressed

the fact that blending Tot-tenham well water with the pipeline water would significantly reduce the level of chemicals, and ex-pressed his frustration with McBride’s order causing another delay in the proj-ect.

“It’s very disappoint-ing when I see a report like this, to tell you the truth,” said Ross. “Very disap-pointing that one person could stop what a lot of

people have done to put the ball in motion.”

The ministry will decide whether to follow through with the Part II Order within the next eight to 12 weeks. If the order does go through, the project’s esti-mated completion date of 2020 could be delayed by up to two years.

Tottenham water a topic of debate at council

Public input soughtinto New Tecumsetheconomic strategyCouncil has approved the development of an

Economic Development Strategy to ensure con-tinued support to the Town’s existing businesses as well as to future investments.

To help guide the Town’s economic develop-ment efforts, they are asking for your input to assist with creating this Strategy and the action plan that will be implemented over the next sev-eral years.

The following online survey https://www.sur-veymonkey.com/r/NewTecumseth is open and they encourage everyone to take the opportunity to have their say. This is your chance to be heard and we want feedback from residents, business owners and local community groups. The survey closes Feb. 3.

Following the survey, the consulting firm of McSweeney & Associates have been retained to assist in the development of a comprehensive strategy that will be connecting with key stake-holders through a series of interviews and focus groups.

The information collected through these vari-ous community engagement activities will di-rectly impact New Tecumseth’s priorities mov-ing forward.

The success of this new Strategy is dependent upon everyone providing their input - please par-ticipate by completing the survey today.

Shoppers Drug Mart staff help to raise funds for women’s healthcare initiatives through the Growing Women’s Health Campaign benefitting Stevenson Memorial Hospital.

Shoppers Drug Mart Alliston & Beetonraises over $2,200 for local health care

Shoppers Drug Mart Alliston and Beeton locations presented a cheque for $2,241 to Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation from their Growing Women’s Health (for-merly Tree of Life) Campaign.

In total, Shoppers Drug Mart has raised over $29,400 for Stevenson Memorial Hospi-tal. This year’s contribution will go directly to support the Women’s Health Clinic at the hospital to assist in the purchase of vital equipment needs.

During the fall months, customers were able to purchase symbolic leaves, butterflies, apples, and birds for the tree displayed on the store window for $1, $5, $10 or $50 to support women’s health initiatives.

Shoppers Drug Mart’s national campaign has raised over $29 million since 2002 with 100% of all proceeds benefiting local women’s health ranging from improving services at local hospitals to supporting mental health programs.

Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation is grateful for Shoppers Drug Mart’s con-tinued support to raising much needed funds to support excellence in local health care.

PowerStream’s 2016 Em-ployee United Way Cam-paign was one of the compa-ny’s most successful to date, resulting in a near record-setting donation of $205,145 that will be shared between the United Way Toronto & York Region and the United Way Simcoe Muskoka.

The announcement was made at PowerStream’s head office as part of an of-ficial cheque presentation ceremony involving several company officials including Maurizio Bevilacqua, Pow-erStream board chair and Mayor of Vaughan; Frank Scarpitti, board member and Mayor of Markham; Jeff Lehman, board member and Mayor of Barrie; Brian Bentz, president and CEO; Dennis Nolan, EVP, Corpo-rate Services & Secretary and Campaign Co-Chair; and Bill Schmidt, VP, Infor-mation Services and Cam-paign Co-Chair. They pre-sented the cheque to Daniele Zanotti, CEO, United Way Toronto & York Region; and Dale Biddell, CEO United Way Simcoe Muskoka.

The donation is consis-tent with PowerStream’s commitment to support the communities in which its customers live, work and play. The company’s annual campaign includes a variety of employee-focused initia-tives that help to raise funds for the United Way and its

agencies. In 2016, the ini-tiatives included payroll de-ductions, a corn roast, em-ployee bingo, 50/50 draws and the company’s charity golf tournament.

“Giving back to the com-munities we serve is an inte-gral part of PowerStream’s culture,” said Bevilacqua. “Every year, it is a privilege to witness the level of con-sistency shown by our em-ployees in their commitment to support a great cause like the United Way.”

“Being a leader in corpo-rate social responsibility is something we value highly at PowerStream,” said Brian Bentz. “Further to this, our employees recognize the im-portance of giving a helping hand to those in need and our successful annual em-ployee campaign is a testa-ment to this.”

PowerStream’s Char-ity Golf Tournament held in September 2016, gener-ated over $140,000 for the campaign. Other funds were raised through payroll de-ductions and other internal employee initiatives.

Since 2004, PowerStream and its predecessor utilities have donated more than $1.6 million to the United Way.

In February 2017, Power-Stream will become Alectra when it merges with Ener-source and Horizon Utilities, and then purchases Hydro One Brampton.

ANNUAL MEETINGwill be held at

Sunday, January 29, 2017 2:00 p.m.Election of Officers & Trustees

All those who are interested in their loved ones’final resting place are encouraged to attend.

There are many things in life we do grudgingly. Paying for auto insurance is one of them.

In Ontario, all driv-ers must have insur-ance for our automo-biles – it’s the law. The benefit of having everyone insured is that there is protec-tion if you like, for all involved. It gives driv-ers the assurance that there is access to com-pensation for dam-ages.

Of course, not ev-eryone on the road carries insurance. It’s estimated that as high as 10% of cars on the road don’t have insur-ance. Unfortunately, the drivers who are insured also pay for those who are not.

In Ontario, automo-bile insurance is regu-lated by the Financial Services Commis-sion, an agency of the Ministry of Finance. We have a mix of “no-fault” and “tort-based” systems in Ontario, but the only pure no-fault systems are in Manitoba and Quebec, where they have no right to sue.

Changes made June 1, 2016 lowered acci-dent benefits to claim-ants. Standard de-ductibles increased to $500. A key change is a type of “gentleman’s agreement” for lack of a better term. In the good, old days, when there was a minor ac-cident, both parties simply agreed to fix it on their own.

Well, now the law allows drivers to do just that. If your colli-sion results in damage that’s under $2,000 and there are no injuries, parties can agree to pay for it themselves and work something out. When no payment is made by insurers, they can’t increase your premiums based on a minor, at-fault ac-cident.

Sounds good, right? Sure, if you’re an in-surer!

But hold on a min-ute. We are required by law to have car in-surance. We have to pay our premiums on time, without fail. We have to try to main-tain a decent driving record.

Yet, if we have a mi-nor collision, we can opt to pay out of our own pockets. Sounds counter-productive to me.

Why would I fork out $2,000 of my hard-earned, after-tax household income to pay for something that I’m protected for? I pay for this protec-tion, thousands upon thousands of dollars, each and every year.

The legislation, cre-ated by the provincial government, “gives us permission” to pay for damage, saving the insurance companies time and money.

Isn’t that just ducky?

Again, this seems to be aimed directly at saving insurance companies money. Isn’t government by the people, for the people or do I have that wrong? Maybe in Ontario, it’s by the corporations, for the corporations.

Insurance compa-nies traditionally are among the top rev-enue-earners, even though they state half of their revenue

is paid out in claims. But wait, half of my insurance premium is paid out to others. But that’s my money, not theirs, that’s used to make these payouts.

There are roughly 109 property and ca-suality (P&C) compa-nies offering auto in-surance in Canada.

In 2014, insurance companies wrote auto policies totalling $21 billion net. Insurers paid out $15.8 billion in net claims.

The industry esti-mates a profit margin of 10%, shared among those 100 companies. That’s not bad.

Our policy costs are determined based on risk – insurers “esti-mate” how likely it is that a customer will make a claim and the value of that claim, in a given year. Pre-miums increase every year, but individual claims don’t necessar-ily.

In 2015, insurers en-joyed revenue gains for the 12th year in a row. How profitable was your business last year? How many of us see a 10% return in our investments?

Property claims have risen 6% in the past decade. Gas at the pumps goes up more than that on a weekly basis. My pay cheque hasn’t risen 6%.

Ontario drivers pay more for auto insur-ance than anywhere else in Canada.

Auto insurance crime (auto thefts, in-surance fraud) drives up our premiums. The top stolen vehicles in Canada are Ford F-series pickups. But if policies are based on driver “risk” isn’t crime a cost of doing business?

The IBC claims that “climate change and severe weather are affecting auto insur-ance. In particular, the increase incidence of hail has driven up pre-miums.” Really? I’ve never seen those hail stones as big as golf balls.

I don’t think anyone sympathizes with auto insurance companies.

Here’s another way to look at things.

I pay roughly $1,100 a year for my old “beater” as my son likes to call my 2002 Buick. In 10 years of paying these premi-ums, I have contribut-ed $11,000 of after-tax money to my insur-ance company. With no claims, that’s pure profit, money in the bank that they invest and make even more money.

I could buy a decent used car for $11,000. I could take the family to Hawaii.

According to long-time King business-man Ken Orr, of Orr & Associates, the benefits of a regulated auto insurance indus-try really is stability in pricing, rating and

product. Currently insurers are required to submit any rating and rule changes to the Financial Servic-es Commission to be approved before they can put them into ef-fect. This is good in the way that it creates stability and protects consumers form irra-tional or unsubstanti-ated rule or premium changes. It does, how-ever, add substantial cost to the system as it is a long and expen-sive process to pre-pare the submission and it does take time to get approvals.

The industry is like a pot where the premi-ums from the many pay for the claims of the few. Based on that the poor or unlucky driver who has many claims might have a high premium but also has far higher output costs that have to be covered by the good or lucky driver that does not have claims. Basi-cally, the money that goes in the pot has to cover the money that goes out of the pot in claims plus the cost to manage the pot. The hard thing is that you have to figure out how much is going out be-fore you decide how much has to come in.

So my friends, like death and taxes, in-creasing auto insur-ance rates are inevi-table and unavoidable.

Editorial, Letters & Opinion“The window to the world can be covered by a newspaper.”

~ Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Post the French lan-guage debate Kevin O’Leary threw his hat in the ring for leadership of the PC party. He chose, as some are wont to do, to use the new media, Facebook. This is good since I have many friends on Facebook,

many of whom I do not even know. But friends are us!

Maybe Kevin gets to be another of one of my le-gions of friends, but with a face and a name.

His entry adds excite-ment to a race that has gar-

nered some interest. What I want to make note of is one element of what is becom-ing the new normal. This is the presence of non-politi-cians, who come from the “outside,” with a decidedly business approach to the business of politics aka D. Trump.

Being outside is deemed to be an advantage since it is said that it ushers in new thinking and a breath of fresh air. So he has an ex-tensive history in business and being a public figure, albeit as an “entertainer” in the new realm of the mixed martial arts of TV which combines reality, entertain-

ment and various forms of public humiliation. As a side bar we become the not so unwitting bystander au-dience to either delight or be appalled by such public displays.

But, and it is a big but, it is the case that Mr. O’Leary has said that his past ac-tions, through his words, should not in any way be taken to be representative of his actual yet to be re-vealed policies.

This becomes the curi-ous place in which we find ourselves. An outsider ar-rives who has a unique set of experiences which will infuse his view and role as a politician. However, we are not to take anything he has said in that history as being of any truth or rele-vance to his hoped for role

as a politician.As Popeye the sailor-

man said: “I am what I am and that’s all that I am.” In Kevin’s case the quote needs to be re-written to read “I am what I am ex-cept what I have been which I am not no more.” This is the double speak of Orwell’s 1984 where “hate becomes love” and “war becomes peace.”

Arlene Dickinson has said in a very straight-forward fashion from her years on the Dragons Den

with Mr. O’Leary, that what you see is what you get. He has no empathy for others whatsoever and seems to be resolutely unswayed by the plight of others who struggle to be resilient in the face of adversity.

We look forward to Ms. Leitch applying her Cana-dian values test to his mor-al character and await the report card. Will he stay or will he go?

Rick KellyTottenham

Leitch to O’Leary, PC candidates are variedLetters tothe Editor

Tory leadership lackingWhat a mess for the federal Conservatives. Currently, they

are looking for a new leader to guide them in this century.Why are they relying on some candidates who are not

even welcome across this huge land and are not even wel-come in their own electoral area, if they are in parliament at this time?

Constituents in our riding are not happy with our MP Kel-ly Leitch. I have joined with them in expressing my senti-ments with an anti-Leitch sign on my property. I hope others will do the same.

The Conservatives across Canada must not support Kelly Leitch in her attempt to gain the leadership of the federal Tories. Also, in Simcoe-Grey, candidates must be found to push out our MP in the next election. We need an MP who cares for all our residents, whether they were born here or immigrated to our great country.

Blackhorse Village Players “Buying the Moose” is a real bargain for theatre-lovers, a rico-cheting romance charged with laughter and spiced with love, thanks to the talents of an excellent cast embroiled in a side-split-

ting comedy.It all begins with the

surprise appearance of a gi-ant blow-up doll that Betty (Angie Sapalovsy) discov-ers in her husband Rob’s (Vince Ursini) arms. Since Betty is not willing to dis-cuss the matter in com-panionable terms, a hap-less Vince accounts for his

choice to his brother Greg (Mark Hayward). Greg, in turn, acting as peace-keeper, reports all that he knows (even if that is not enough) to his wife Cheryl (Jane Bolton) who bounces back the news to Betty’s greatest friend and ally. The ricocheting action is a case of the game Broken

Telephone multiplied four times, with the story get-ting more complicated and hilarious with every turn.

The two neighbor-ing, albeit warring, home fronts, creatively designed by Cheryl Phillips, Wayne Leblanc, and Susan Jalbert, set the stage for a story in missed information, fum-bled phone calls, and hilar-ious misinterpretation.

Sapalovsky is a many-faceted talent, conveying outrage, hilarity, despair

or apology in rapid-fire action. Even the cake she bakes is iced with an am-biguous message. Impres-sions collide, converge or merge, becoming more hilarious with Sapalovsky on the hunt for the elusive truth, all based on a moose story.

Ursini complicates the proceedings with a be-fuddled response: leap-frogging explanations atop justifications piggybacking assertions of innocence and

fumbling forgiveness, des-perate to explain just how much worry of that blow up doll is nothing but hot air. And as an actor, he does it all very well.

Director Morris Durante and stage manager Cindy Hummey assisted by Jes-sie Gordon, has pulled off a wonderful success where laughter escalates as com-plications abound.

See it at Blackhorse, on stage to Jan. 28. Call 905-880-5002 for more.

NEW TECUMSETH TIMES

By Brian Lockhart

Alliston Junior C Hor-nets fans were wonder-ing just what was going on during Friday night’s home game against the Caledon Golden Hawks.

At the end of the sec-ond period the game was tied at one and shots on net were few and far be-tween.

Alliston forward Mat-thew Nastasiuk opened the scoring on the feed from Drake Board at 1:51 into the game but the Hornets were sty-mied for the rest of the period and all through the second.

A single Hawks goal in the second frame made it a 1-1 game going into the fi nal period.

Alliston’s Ryan Young

scored an unassisted shorthanded goal early in the period.

Jack Underhill fol-lowed up three and a-half minutes later to give the Hornets a 3-1 lead.

The Golden Hawks closed the gap late in the period then put six at-tackers on the ice in an attempt to tie it up, but they couldn’t do it and the Hornets left the ice with a 3-2 win.

The Caledon team came to the arena as a last place team but they always put up a good fi ght when they are on Alliston home ice.

“They’re (Caledon) a really good team. They work hard, they play well together – and they want to beat us,” said Hornets goalie Mike Ma-

succi. “Every game is al-ways a challenge against these guys and we look forward to it every time we play them.”

The Hornets took it up a notch in the third period when they came up short on scoring in the fi rst two frames.

“We had a little talk-ing to from the coach after the second period and we got the message and it was time to step it up to another level. The next two games we’re playing Midland and Stayner and we’re go-ing to need to win both of those games if want a chance at fi rst place,” Masucci said.

The Hornets are cur-rently in second place in the standings with 65 points - three points

behind the Stayner Sis-kins.

The Siskins will have to lose a game and the

Hornets stay on top if they have a hope of mov-ing back into fi rst place.

The Hornets will be

back on home ice this Friday, Jan. 27, to host the Orillia Terriers.

Officers with Central Region of the Ontario Pro-vincial Police (OPP) re-sponded to five collisions involving five snowmo-biles in early January.

On Jan. 7, on Trail D near South Monck Drive Bracebridge, a 44-year-old male operating a snowmo-bile on a “Closed Trail” had a collision. This male was sent to hospital with serious injuries.

On Jan. 7, on an OFSC trail near Crystal Lake Road a 47-year-old female struck a tree. This female was sent to hospital with non-life threatening inju-ries.

Also on Jan. 7, on Ship Island a 62-year-old male struck a rock. This male was sent to a Toronto hos-pital with life-threatening injuries.

On Jan. 8, two snow-mobile operators while snowmobiling on Georgian Bay broke through the ice, which was not fully frozen over.

The investigations into the above snowmobiling collisions are ongoing, however, OPP Central Re-gion Traffic Management and the Snowmobile All Terrain Vessel Enforce-ment (SAVE) team would again strongly suggest to all snowmobile operators to follow the following tips:

• Never operate while under the influence of Al-cohol or Drugs!

• Remember, no ice is safe ice! Conditions change due to several fac-tors. What was safe last week may not be safe this week.

• Check the ice thickness and quality with local ice hut operators and MNRF before riding on any frozen waterway.

• Wear a buoyant snow-mobile suit and carry ice picks on you.

• Only travel on ice that is already well-tracked and stay on the marked Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Club (OFSC) trails.

• Never travel on a closed Ontario Federa-tion of Snowmobile Club (OFSC) trail.

• Watch out for obstacles like rocks, stumps, docks, pressure cracks, fishing huts and open water cre-ated by bubblers and river mouths.

• Wear a proper snow-mobile helmet and ensure it is fastened.

• Carry a fully charged cellular phone in a water-proof case.

The OPP is committed to saving lives on Ontario’s highways, trails and wa-terways through high vis-ibility patrols and enforce-ment in order to reduce

preventable injuries and death. Officers will be out in full force with RADAR units conducting speed enforcement on Ontario

Federation of Snowmobile Club trails. The OPP would like to remind snowmobile operators the speed limit is 50km/h on the Ontario

Federation of Snowmo-bile Clubs (OFSC) trails and 20km/h on city streets. Visit opp.ca for more infor-mation.

OPP offer tips following snowmobile collisions

One of the worst years forimpaired-related fatalities in York

York Regional Police is continuing its fight against impaired driving, which tragically resulted in the deaths of nine people last year, one of the worst years for impaired-related fatalities in recent history.

In 2016, there were 1,265 incidents and 1,626 charges.While the number of charges are down slightly (1,695 in 2015), the number of incidents

rose once again and the trend indicates continuing increases. Included in the total number of charges for 2016 were 81 charges laid for Impaired Driv-

ing by Drug, which was up 69 per cent from 2015. Drug-impaired drivers were found to be under the influence of marihuana, cocaine, ketamine, fentanyl and prescription medications.

“These incredibly disappointing numbers must serve as a wake-up call that something has to change,” said Chief Eric Jolliffe. “It’s alarming that prior to the pending legalization of marihuana we are seeing this spike of drivers impaired by drugs. In light of the contin-ued warnings about the dangers of impaired driving from police services across Canada, it’s shocking that anyone feels they have the right to risk the lives of innocent people by drinking alcohol or using drugs and getting behind the wheel of a vehicle. I can assure our community that York Regional Police is not giving up. We will continue to use education, enforcement and every tool at our disposal in our fight against impaired driving.”

No sightings of missing MackBy Mark Pavilons

The search continues for Mack, a missing Irish Wolfhound, and owners are doing everything to spread the word.

According to Julie Allen, there have been potential sightings, but nothing concrete. The case has drawn widespread media cov-erage and the owners are working with a canine tracker.

But without sightings or photos, it’s difficult to narrow down the search parameters.

Supporters are contacting veterinary clinics, not just in the area, but across Ontario, in case Mack has ventured outside the area.

His disappearance is unusual due to his size and unique nature as a calm, friendly dog, despite his 200-pound stature.

“Every day we keep waiting, and hearning nothing,” Allen said.

There is a Facebook page – Finding Mack.Mack went missing Tuesday, Jan. 3 in the area of Keele Street

and the 17th Sideroad in King Township.If anyone has any information on him please contact Julie Al-

len at 416-949-0344 or 905-727-1932.
