Site 41 - 5 Year Anniversary Party for Moratorium VoteFriendship, Music and Celebration • From the Site 41 committee

It has been five years since a remarkable event that began an incredible journey. In May, 2009, Maude Barlow and the Council of Canadians, along with the Stop Dump Site 41 group, hosted a special 'Walk for Water'. It was a spring day full of hope for the future and all seemed committed to make a difference. A huge turnout included Dale Goldhawk, other media representatives, and musical guests. The inspiring

speeches, the huge number of people and the knowledge that this might be the last stand was inspiring. The last chance to protect our water and our children's water! People from all colours and creeds, cottagers, the agricultural community and people from near and far joined hands together Shoulder to Shoulder. First Nations people at the walk

in May felt it was their sacred duty to protect the earth-to speak for the

water. The five Anishinaabe Kweag decided to camp out for the weekend and respectfully asked locals for the use of a small parcel of land. The Firekeepers, youth and children joined them. There weekend turned out to be 137

days! They stayed through

storms, floods and cold temperatures, dust and noise from County of Simcoe construction, police raids, and many other stressful situations. Their commitment

and dedication impressed us all. Once Simcoe County took out an

injunction, things got quite serious. Under cross-examination by Vicki Monague’s lawyers Peter Rosenthal and Chris Reid, it was revealed that the decision to pursue court proceedings and an injunction was not made by Simcoe County Councillors, it was made by legal counsel and CAO Mark Aitken, and then-warden Tony Guergis. This resulted in arrests of peaceful

In case any of you want to run for leader of the Provincial Conservative Party, I was reading the rules. You have to file by January 30th, 2015 and pay a $75,000 registration fee. The spending limit is $1,250,000 and under the “Why would you do that?” part of the rules, the PC Ontario Fund will take 20% of all contributions raised over $100,000.In Springwater Township, and I think most municipalities

are the same, you have to pay a fee. To run for Mayor, it will cost you $200 and to run for Deputy Mayor or Councillor, it will cost $100. If you get 2% of the recorded vote, your deposit is refunded.The Mayor is allowed a budget of $7500 plus 85 cents for

each of the registered voters which as of Tuesday morning was 115,134.The Deputy is allowed $5000 plus the 85 cents per

eligible voter while councillors are allowed the $5000 limit plus the 85 cents per voter in their wards.In Springwater Township, we also have a sign bylaw. Each

person running for the council must pay an additional $100 and if he/she adheres to the rules, the money is refunded.

And in another part of the “Why would you do that?” part of politics, it rather irritates me that our council would pass a bylaw stating that there shall be no signs on municipal property and then when an election starts, it becomes a ‘Not In My Back Yard’ thing. If they believe that signs are not wanted on municipal property, why would the people that passed the bylaw go unto county and provincial property and do exactly the opposite by erecting their signs there? It has a stench of, “It is against the law to do it to me but it is legal for me to do it to you.”

In the world of equal rights between men and women, everyday we are perpetuating the fact that a woman is inferior to a man without even thinking about it. We open the door for them. We carry the groceries for them. Maybe, we are better mannered around a female then we are around a man.So along comes a football player who punched his

girlfriend later to become his wife. Not for a minute do I think it is okay BUT had it been another man he punched, barely anything would have been said about it. In fact in hockey, players do it in almost every game...and we cheer them on.This 27 year old football player, Ray Rice, has been

suspended from the NFL. His contract with the Baltimore Ravens has been terminated. I cannot find anyplace were he has been charged by the police. So the question I ask is with whom the responsibility

of his actions should be left with. Is it the leagues job to discipline him or should the league be getting the man, and probably his wife, some psychiatric help?If it is believed that the football league should dispense

punishment, rather than the judicial system, then the same belief should be distributed to all other leagues, organizations, businesses, etc. Whatever your profession, if you batter a woman or a child, it is the head of the organization to banish you from your job be it a politician, a policeman, doctor, fireman, curler, church goer, teacher, factory worker or whatever...and when you come into a restaurant or a store, I guess it would be proper to ask that

person to leave. Then the next question is, what crime can one commit and then not be punished by your organization for having done it. I just do not think this incident was handled properly.

As mentioned before, it would be my suggestion that the person get or be assigned professional help.

In the world of weather, the Farmer’s Almanac is predicting a cold and stormy winter. The last winter was something like back 55 years ago when I walked to school and we could climb unto the snowbanks and touch the telephone wires. Despite the 70s being some of the coldest days on record - they were predicting another ice age back then - I can remember bigger snowbanks and more snow in the 50s and 60s - but maybe then I was half as tall as I am now.And in the world of folklore, if you talk to many farmers,

the corn is taller this year than most. They say the height of the cobs on the stalks will indicate the depth of snow in the coming winter. And in the same folklore prediction, there are fewer

red berries on our Mountain Ash trees this year then last. So that is a sign that the birds will be able to find food someplace else.

In my mind, there is one big hurdle with the Midhurst Secondary Plan which badly needs addressed. It is the sewage problem. Although some are concerned about the addition of, I have heard four times as much treated purified water mentioned and maybe a whole lot more, to a very small stream, to me the concern should be about what they cannot get out of treated waste and that is the pharmaceuticals. A Canadian Study quietly released last month reported

record breaking levels of three pharmaceuticals in river water in southwestern Ontario.Although the chemicals — the diabetic drug metformin,

the acid reflux drug ranitidine, and the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide — are measured in nanograms per litre, and are extremely low, the levels detected have never been found before in North America.It goes on to say that when Health Canada sampled

tap water across Canada, researchers found what they expected to find, traces of drugs in drinking water that comes from rivers and lakes, although that report has not yet been published.Last year, a group of researchers detected drugs in the

Great Lakes at levels high enough to be “of environmental concern,” according to a study that found traces of acetaminophen, codeine, antibiotics, hormones, steroids, and anti-epileptic compounds, and dozens of other chemicals.Also last year, another group concluded that they’d

found evidence of a “global environmental issue” after discovering widespread neuro-active compounds, including antidepressants, anti-seizure compounds, and mood stabilizers, in 24 Minnesota rivers.In February, Environment Canada officials told a

Senate committee hearing that more than 165 individual pharmaceuticals and personal care products have been identified in water samples, as of this year.And everyday, more drugs are being added to our water.

Rating: SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Good!

BOOK FOUR: THE MAGIC THIEF SERIES. Conn has come a long way since the days when he was a thief and a wizard's apprentice. He and the dragon Pip have become best friends. Duchess Rowan, wants to make him the city's most important wizard. But the older wizards don't

trust Con...especially now that their locus magicalicus stones are disappearing! Once a thief, always a thief, they think.To clear his name and solve the mystery of the

disappearing stones, Conn goes back to his beginnings-gutterboy, chimney sweep, and, yes, thief. But turning back is not easy, and old enemies don't disappear. Can Conn pull himself out of the gutter one more time?

--------------------------Oh. My. Goodness. I was beyond thrilled when I saw

that Sarah Prineas was writing a fourth book in this super series. She had written the first three and then veered off for another four book series which, honestly, didn't grip me. Then, when I saw she was going back to her original series I pre-purchased, Home, right away. And I'm so glad I did! First let me say Bravo to Sarah as a writer for making this fourth book a seamless continuation for us as readers. As writers and people we grow over the years and my one worry was that after having taken such a long break, this book might feel different and not as awesome as the first three in the series. I'm so happy to tell you that book four IS as awesome and it does feel like coming "home" to the same characters, same streets, same everything and it's all good.I've loved this series because of the kinship you feel

with Conn. Have you ever been misunderstood? As a child did adults ever look over your head and talk like you weren't there? We've all had that in our lives and Conn is the perfectly placed character to be misunderstood, overlooked and easily dismissed. But he is quick keen, and his quiet manner means he sees and understands much more than anyone around him. I personally can't quite relate to the quiet manner but I can enjoy living Conn's experience of it! He's someone you root for and unlike the other characters, we get a full look inside his motivations and pure-hearted actions. I just love this kid and want to plunk him down at my table and feed him biscuits till he bursts.What my children love about this series is the

adventures and scrapes Conn wedges himself into and the resourcefulness of how he gets himself out of them. There are coded messages throughout the book as well that end up with pencil mark solutions from my son. The fantasy aspect is kept simple which is key to keeping places and events something we can relate to easily.This book isn’t too long or too short – pretty darn perfect

in that area. The pacing is consistentwith the other three books - again, perfect. It's an easy

perfect rating from me and if Sarah continues with this series they will all be perfectly at home together on my bookshelf.

A Hungarian by the name of Erno Rubik invented the Cube in the spring of 1974. He created it as a working model to help explain three-dimensional geometry, and this led to the creation of the world's best selling toy. At the peak of the Rubik's Cube craze, an estimated one-fifth of the world's population had played the Cube. Rubikcubism is an avant-garde artistic movement in

which Rubik's cubes are used as a medium to create art. In May 2007, Thibaut Jacquinot of France became the first person to complete the Cube in less than 10 seconds in open competition. Erik Akkersdijik set the current

world record for a single solve at the 2008 Czech Open with a time of 7.08 seconds. In 1981, a seven-year-old Norwegian boy named Lars-Erik Anderson was one of the youngest Cube solvers. Initially, Rubik considered variations of a 2 x 2 x 2 in cube, but concluded that the simplest and most workable model was the 3 x 3 x 3 in cube.

For more than fifty years the Ontario Arts Council (OAC) has played a vital role in promoting and assisting the development of the arts for the enjoyment and benefit of Ontarians. In 2013-2014, OAC funded 1,737 individual artists and 1,095 organizations in 223 Ontario communities, for a total of $52.1 million. $80,834 was allocated to professional artists and arts organizations in Simcoe North between April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014. I wish to take this opportunity to highlight the Artists and arts organizations which have benefited from funding over the past year in my riding of Simcoe North. The individual artists: Robin Cameron of Orillia, $5000 for Visual Artists:

Emerging. Hillary Hatzipetrakos of Penetanguishene,$500 for

Aboriginal Artists Materials and Supplies Assistance. Matt Macintosh of Ramara received two grants one for

$5000 for Visual Artists: Emerging and another for $1500 for Exhibition Assistance. Tina Poplawski of Tiny received $1500 for Exhibition

Assistance. Joelle Roy of Tiny $360 for Travel AssistanceThe Arts organizations:Brookside Music Association, Midland $8,000

(Compass)I’m pleased to see that these artists and arts organizations

have received grants that will help to assist in the development and promotion of their projects. Ontario Arts Council funding is very important in helping these individuals and groups reach their goals and to enrich the lives of others.Events:I would like to remind you to circle October 10 on your

I Want to KnowIt doesn’t interest me what you do

for a living,I want to know what you ache for,

and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.It doesn’t interest me how old you

are—I want to know if you risk looking like a fool for love.It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your

moon,I want to know if you have touched the centre of your

own sorrow—if you have been opened by life betrayals or you’ve

become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can be with joy and dance with

wildness.It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is

true—I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; If you can bear the

accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; If you can be faithful and, therefore,

trustworthy!I want to know if you can see beauty—even if it’s not so

beautiful every day!I want to know if you can live with failure and still stand

at the edge of the lake, and shout to the to the silver moon—Yes!It doesn’t interest me where you live, or how much

money you have—I want to know if you can get up after a night of despair,

weary and bruised to the bones, and do what needs to be done to feed your children!It doesn’t matter to me whom you know, or how you

came to be here—I want to know if you will stand at the centre of the fire

and not shrink back. It doesn’t matter where or what, or with whom you have

studied with, I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when

all else falls away.I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, and if

you truly like the company you keep—in the empty moments. Rita Be-Still A Teacher of Love

bARKFEST AT THE AGRIPLEXI have become a big fan of the Essa Agriplex. It is a true

credit to our rural community. When we attend Barkfest this weekend that will mark the fourth time we have visited the site this year.Last week we attended the International Plowing Match.

That was a perfect day for me. Before attending, Mark, Max and I hiked for an hour and a half on the Nine Mile Portage Trail. Then we headed for the plowing match and parked at the Agriplex. We boarded a wagon pulled by a tractor that chauffeured us to the site.We walked around the huge site for about five hours. I

have to congratulate all the volunteers for making it such a successful event. I have spoken with numerous people in recent days (none of whom are farmers) and they all said they enjoyed it immensely too. Earlier in the summer we attended the Barrie Fair at the

Agriplex as well as a big heavy horse show. The heavy horse show was an event that used to take place at the Canadian National Exhibition. I hope it will be held here next year too. There were a lot of competitors and we got to see Gypsy Vanner horses in the flesh. Barkfest comes to the Agriplex Saturday and Sunday.

The hours are 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. It is billed as a dog festival and harvest fall food fair. Dogs are welcome, on leash, of course. The canine and culinary weekend features a barbeque, contests, sporting dog demonstrations, as well as the OPP Police K9 Tactical Unit, COPE service dogs and various non-profit canine groups. Admission to the event is $10 per car load. It is such a pleasure to be able to walk on the bush trails

once again without getting eaten alive by mosquitoes and deerflies. I hadn’t been on the trails for almost three months because the insects made it unbearable. Walking on those trails certainly does much for the

body—and the mind. I love going up and down the many hills on the Nine Mile Portage Trail which is right next to our farm. Even Max has renewed vigor on his walks. Although he has always had a fixation with going down Old Orchard Road, he loves the boardwalk and Nine Mile Trail even more. I am thankful for this because there are only so many times I can contemplate the grapevines growing on the gravel pit fence on Old Orchard. I think back to what a changed dog he is since we got him

the end of December. He was a city dog from Oshawa and he wasn’t used to heavily forested areas and creeks. It used to be all I could do to get him on the boardwalk and he was very frightened of going in the bush. In fact, he was just plain frightened of me in general. He loved my husband right away. I called Mark the Chosen One and Mark told me the dog thought I was an ogre. Max would only let me pet him when I took him for a

walk. Also, he would barely take a treat from my hand, I usually had to throw them on the floor for him to eat them. Three months later, all that changed. I think his little Sheltie brain realized I was still grieving for our other dog May. Max was also grieving—for a little girl who used to ‘style’ his hair. One day when we were walking up our hill on the road he looked right up at me. The wind blew his ears back and he looked like he was smiling at me. I told him “we have to get home for lunch” and he barked right back. I knew then our bond was sealed.We haven’t looked back. He has attended a baby shower

with me and he was a model canine good citizen. He has also been to the Barrie Classic Car Night (he likes the 50s music), the Stayner Farmers’ Market and Music night, has hiked the Bruce Trail several times and cooled off on the few hot summer evenings we had this year by walking along the trail at Centennial Park. He is, like I used to say about my mother, such good company. Barkfest will be, no doubt, another one of our incredible journeys together.

Local Area Support’s Wendat’s Affordable Housing for Seniors

Despite the black clouds, rolling thunder and torrential rains, Wendat Community Programs enjoyed very successful Tag Days held on Sept 6th & 7th in support of our non-profit, low income seniors residence. Thanks to the generosity of all the people who dropped their money into the boxes, Tag Days raised a total of $4820.45 for Wendat. A big thanks to the taggers who stood in the weather, without you, we couldn’t have done it.

T h a n k you: A&W, Beer Stores (Hwy 93, M i d l a n d A v e , Penetang), C a n a d i a n T i r e , F o o d l a n d M i d l a n d , H o m e H a r d w a r e P e n e t a n g ,

Huronia Mall, Valu Mart, Village Square Mall and Walmart. Without your community spirit we would not have been so successful. The funds are being put towards the construction of

our assisted living facility for frail seniors to be built in Penetanguishene. “The Seniors Residence will be the first truly affordable assisted living residence in Ontario” says Wendat’s Executive Director, Lorna Tomlinson. “Existing facilities in this area charge $2,000-$3,000 or more per

person per month. At least one-third of seniors cannot afford to pay that much.” The building will house 23 frail seniors providing each person with a single bedroom plus private bathroom. Wendat plans to charge under $1,000 a month per resident which will include accommodation, meals, social activities, transportation to shops and medical appointments and 24/7 personal assistance. To date the organization has raised $2.6 million of the

$3.2 million needed for the construction and plans to start construction this fall. The Town of Penetanguishene has donated 2.35 acres of land at 44 Dufferin Street for the build.For further information contact: Margaret Hamelin, 705-

Elmvale Legion HallSpeaker: David Willding-Davies of

Ashanti CoffeeFrom Zimbabwe to Canada, Ashanti grows, roasts,

retails and serves their own coffee. From farm to cup is the foundation of their coffee, because they roast and serve the coffee that they grow. There is expresso, cappuccino or their favourite bean that has very little caffeine. Everyone Welcome.Tips: Check houseplants for bugs. Dig, dry and store

summer-flowering bulbs. Prepare new garden beds. Put ponds to bed. Cut off dead foliage particularly around hostas or lilies where pests can over-winter. Continue to plant spring flowering bulbs. Rake leaves from lawn, chop with mower and add to compost pile. Plant amaryllis for Christmas bloom.

" Thanks to Springwater Council"

Elmvale & District Horticultural Society met with Springwater Council to request Springwater staff to continue regular watering of the hanging baskets, planters and Heritage Park gardens in Elmvale until the Fall Fair weekend. Ron Belcourt & his staff have accommodated this request. Everyone can see the results in the village of Elmvale! Kudos to the Council and staff of Springwater for making this possible. This request was approved with the letters of support from the following organizations:

Tiny Township Heritage Advisory Committee says `Thank-you`.

Gillian Reynolds, chair of the Tiny Heritage Advisory Committee, presents Jules Puckering, a summer student employee of the Township, with flowers, while Judy Cabell, planning and development secretary, looks on.

Jules worked on the second English edition of Tiny`s history - Recollections - and its first French edition, Souvenirs. Both versions will be published in November, in time for holiday shopping.

The picture was taken on August 21, in Council Chambers, by another member of the Committee,

Annice Blake

Dick Wesselo for

Tiny CouncillorA competent and experienced business professional

across a variety of industries including financial services, technology, fraud prevention,

research-management and healthcare with Strong analytical, organizational, interpretive and process management skills in addition to extensive

experience in regulatory and privacy matters.

Commitment to the voter When elected, I will bring to Council:

- my integrity, ethics and diligence

- respect for the manner in which Tiny residents tax dollars are spent.

- a recognition of the Township's rural values and cultural heritage including the importance of balancing the needs and concerns of both the seasonal and year-round populations.

- the resolve to maintain Tiny's quality of life through the protection of farmland from excessive urban sprawl and other non-compatible development.

What’s A Smoke Alarm Worth to You?

What’s a missing or non-functioning smoke alarm worth to you? Is it worth a ticket for $235.00, a fine of up to $50,000 or even worse, the life of a family member or friend?The installation of smoke alarms in residential dwellings

is the LAW in Ontario and the Fire Departments of the Townships of Springwater and Tiny want to ensure that you know what you require in your home.The Ontario Fire Code requires that you have a

WORKING smoke alarm on each storey including the basement AND outside each sleeping area. So if your home has bedrooms located at either end of the house you may require more than one alarm on that particular floor.Smoke alarm requirements have been around for a long time

and the requirements listed previously have been law since March of 2006 yet we still find homes inadequately protected.Yes, that is correct; we find homes not meeting the provincial

requirement. If our fire crews respond to your home, they will check to make sure you have WORKING smoke alarms and if you don’t, expect at least a ticket for $235.Sounds harsh? Well it’s no different than being caught

not wearing your seat belt. Both are life safety devices and we take that very seriously.Do you own a cottage that you rent out? As the owner,

YOU are responsible to ensure that your cottage is protected with WORKING smoke alarms. Make sure you check the smoke alarms between guest visits to ensure they haven’t tampered with the device.You say you are protected

by a monitored alarm system? Maybe not! If you don’t have WORKING smoke alarms as required by the Ontario Fire Code, you are NOT compliant and subject to the same penalties. Contact your alarm service provider and make sure today.It is our job to protect

life and property, and enforcement of the regulations is one of the tools we use to do just that. We value your life; we hope you do as well.If you have questions about

smoke alarm requirements for your home, contact your local fire department.Township of Springwater

Honeybees are not native to North America. They were introduced from Europe in the 1600s by the Puritans. Honey never spoils. In fact, honey placed in tombs in Southampton, England, over 400 years ago, was still

good when the tombs were opened.


ANOTHER STEP FORWARD

Information correct at press time. E. & O. E.

www.sundancehomes.cawww.alliancehomes.cawww.geraniumhomes.com www.geraniumcorporation.com www.rosecorp.com

The Midhurst Landowners Group (MLG) is pleased

to announce that we are another step closer to

delivering new homes, infrastructure, community

amenities and jobs.

On July 3rd another milestone was reached as the

Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) granted approvals

for the fi rst phases of development in Midhurst.

This recent decision by the OMB — which is the

culmination of more than 30 years of planning,

consultations and decisions — will set the foundation

for an anticipated ground breaking in 2015 followed

by a new home construction start in 2016.

Midhurst is recognized as a growth area. The

comprehensive master plan, which is guiding growth

in this beautiful, established community, together

with the strict

conditions imposed

through the OMB

approvals, fully

recognizes that expert

planning and care

for environmental

protection will be the

cornerstones on which

this new development

will move forward.

With a focus on

preserving the

integrity and charm

of Midhurst, the

development will

introduce vibrant new residential and commercial

opportunities for the years ahead.

Designed and envisioned to appeal to the broadest

demographic, including families who are new to

Midhurst, as well as existing residents looking

to downsize but stay in the immediate area, the

community will offer a variety of residential choices

appealing to fi rst time buyers, to move up buyers, to

empty nesters.

The future of Springwater is bright and we are proud

to be part of it.

DeficitsHi Mike: I feel it is time for me to express my thoughts on deficit

financing, since this seems to be the current obsession of conservative thinkers hereabouts. Believe me, I want balanced budgets and lower taxes as much as anybody, but we cannot achieve these things by cutting spending. The prolonged recession in Japan, Europe, and our own stagnant economic growth of the last few years are adequate proof of that. What we need is more taxpayers, not more taxes. To get more taxpayers we need to invest more in job creation and training for young people. This means temporary deficits until we get there. Investing is shrewd spending. Cutting public sector jobs will only shrink the economy.

It is simply not possible for us to chop our way to prosperity. Since my spending is someone else’s income, and their spending is my income, eliminating jobs just ends up hurting everybody. The only way to get out of this recession trap is to spend more. As in the 1930s, an austerity regime will not get us out of the hole, and may even lead from one depression right into another. In fact, the Harper administration has never been able to balance the federal budget, despite all the cutbacks from environmental programs to the military. Short term pain for long term pain. Not all debt is bad debt. Borrowing from foreigners

at high interest rates is bad, but what if we borrow from ourselves, or in other words repatriate our debt? Then it would be good debt because the lenders would be living and paying taxes here in Canada. What if we just expanded the money supply and used this new money to buy municipal bonds like the U.S. Federal Reserve has been doing for years. Or in other words borrow the money from ourselves? This would allow us to invest in badly needed infrastucture, and this in turn would create many new jobs and improve productivity. Since we would be in debt to ourselves, we would not even have to pay interest. We now have an infrastructure deficit that is a direct

result of this austerity policy. If we continue to neglect our crumbling bridges, roads, sewers, etc., we will end up leaving a whopping bill for our children, in addition to the debt. The relatively few who can still earn a decent living will ultimately have to pay for it, but without the increased productivity that investment would bring. Sincerely, Richard Banigan, 50 Lannan DriveTiny ON 705-533-1495

Thank YouHaving made the decision that I will not be running in the

upcoming municipal election, and after many well wishes for the future, I feel the need to write this letter.First, I thank my wife Kim for the unconditional support

given to me over the last four years. Her unwavering assistance has made this journey even more rewarding. I also must thank the constituents of Ward 3, as well as residents of greater Springwater, and the municipal staff, all whom have supported me during my term on Council. Many folks encouraged me to run again and were prepared to support me in that quest. Thank you, all of you; you will never know how much I value your insights and input.My decision to not run for a second term in the October

election was made with a great deal of thought and consideration. There is only so much time in life; at the age of 64 and with a family member experiencing a very serious illness, it’s become very clear that it’s best for me to put direct involvement in Springwater Township operations behind me. The position of Councilor, if executed with the vigor it deserves, takes an immense amount of hours of reading, questioning, understanding and attending meetings. For the foreseeable future, I simply will not be in a position to devote that time and attention. It is my hope and intention to remain actively involved as a volunteer and participant in Springwater activities and initiatives. Why would I want to stay involved?Well, it’s because I care about the great municipality of

Springwater and all of the folks who live here. This was the genesis of my running in the last election to begin with and it shall not change.At every vote of Council and the NVCA, every committee

meeting I’ve attended, every meeting with staff and every phone call that I received (and by the way, I received more calls about barking dogs than those regarding the Midhurst Secondary Plan), I held the position that I was elected in 2010 because those who elected me trusted me to represent them with honesty and integrity. Without reservation, I’ve offered my best to honour just that.On October the 27, I ask you, the voter, to be ever more

mindful of where you place your “X”.Always attempt to look at the entire picture. Although

much was accomplished in this current term of your Council, there are many tasks still needing completion, and many initiatives to be started. Look to elect those who have fresh and open minds and/or bring the biggest tool box to address these matters. Even though for some candidates and voters, this is a

“one issue” election, and they are campaigning together on that agenda, this, like all elections, is not a “one issue” state of affairs. Although some would have you believe otherwise, Springwater is the envy of many neighbouring municipalities. While, as stated above, there is always much to be done, at the same time, our roads infrastructure is second to none, our long term debt rests in a perfectly healthy fiscal ratio and our staff is professional, open minded and eager to help each and every one of you. We all should be proud of our township, and it is to be hoped that our new and returning Council members do not lose sight of this in moving forward with their intentions for the next 4 years.And last, a word to the wise from my experiences over

this term … you will hear many promises… just as you did from me. Be advised that, just as I discovered after being elected, due to provincial legislation, which generally takes precedence over municipal or township legislation, these promises cannot always be kept. In part, this is what makes the public cynical about politicians and will divide Springwater as well as pit neighbours vs. neighbours. It is hoped that we all take care to not let that happen!In summary, thank you for the opportunity to serve. It

truly has been my privilege.Sincerely; Rick WebsterCouncilor Ward 3, 2010-14 term – Springwater Township

Letters to the Editor and our policyDue to the tune of the ‘Letters to the Editor’ we had

for this paper, we have approached the OCNA (Ontario Community Newspaper Association) to get an opinion as to what we should do and what other papers do.They replied with excerpts from various newspaper’s

policies and we quote a few here...Now that nomination day has passed and the campaign

is in full swing, The Carleton Place-Almonte Canadian Gazette will no longer be running letters of endorsement for candidates.orWe reserve the right to edit all letters to the editor for

space and content, both in print and online at www.insideottawavalley.com.orDuring the local election campaign, the Lillooet News

will continue to accept letters to the editor on election campaign issues (with the usual maximum limit of 500 words). We will be printing letters endorsing specific candidates in the Nov. 9 issue of the News (maximum 250 words). We tend to throw people out of office; we’d like to hear why you think we should vote them in. ’Letters to the Editor’ from candidates will be treated as advertising. andLetters may be edited for length, libel, clarity, accuracy,

grammar and punctuation. We reserve the right to reject any letter.andSupporters, or detractors, of candidates may submit letters

no more than 250 words. Letters should be issues-oriented and may not attack any candidate.andWe will not publish announcements about the makeup

of the campaign staff, photos of the candidate with any members of civic groups in which they are affiliated or which are endorsing the candidate, or any other photos or written statements which are not directly related to the issues of the campaign.andLetter writers are responsible for supplying legitimate

sources and documentation for their allegations. All letters are subject to editing, and those with statements that cannot be easily substantiated may not be published.andLOCAL ONLY: Political letters submitted from outside

Wasco, Hood River, Sherman, Gilliam and Klickitat counties will not be accepted.andLibel lawyers love election season, even though

candidates are by definition public figures, and a different standard of libel applies to them. Unfounded allegations and name-calling are strongly discouraged and will disqualify a letter.We are in an election mode for the next 32 days. If you

want to mention an issue, you may do so. You may not mention a candidate’s name and if you do, we have the right to edit or reject the letter.This was intended to be a “GOOD NEWS NEWSPAPER”

and we will continue to strive to meet those expectations.Thank you, Michael Jacobs Re the Proposed installation of an 80

meter telecommunication towerAtt: Sean Ogilvie, Summit Telecom ServicesWe object to the location of the proposed tower as we on

Amelia Street are less than 240 meters away as is the Trans Canada Trail and the Visitor Park.We understand that our proposal is strictly for the

company’s convenience as it is at the end of an abandoned road and your installation costs will be a few pennies less. In the scale of things, with the equivalent 28 story building and the public and residential use in the immediate vicinity, it seems reckless on the applicants part to even consider such a location.We understand the owner of the property, DLG Haulage,

has several hundred acres to the west and to the north of your proposed telecommunication site. Would it not be in the public interest to consider relocating the site further away from human habitation?Have other locations been considered? We are writing this

letter of complaint on behalf of the immediate neighbours.Just a further comment, the mail notification letter sent

on Jult 14, 2014, has slight typos such as not providing full extension numbers and not providing telephone numbers where real people pick up the phone. The inadvertent conduct on such a serious matter impacting several hundred residents, their lives and property values should ot be taken lightly, quite frankly we feel this whole process has been

very one sided and oppressive.We would sincerely appreciate and

thank you for further consideration in better locating this tower away from our homes. Is there an option to relocate further away from residences? Furthermore, please provide a timely written response to our enquiry vis a vis location, etc.Daniel GalloOn behalf of the residents of

Amelia Street.

Bees use ultraviolet vision to see which flowers have the largest amounts of nectar.

A typical worker bee lives for one month and in that time collects enough nectar to make about 1/12 teaspoon of

honey. Honey is made from diverse flower sources - clover,

eucalyptus, or orange blossom, for example - and soil chemistry and honeycomb quality also influence how it

tastes and looks. Bees have different dialects. A German bee cannot

understand an Italian bee.

Beacock seeks re-electionPeter Beacock, the current Trustee for Oro-Medonte

and Springwater Townships is seeking re-election in the October 27, 2014 election. As the Trustee for these two municipalities, he has worked tirelessly to bring the concerns of the communities to the table. Peter has the time and has shown his commitment to put in the average 20-30 hours a week that is often required to do the job effectively. He knows the commitment that is required to do a good job and to be prepared for every meeting. Peter was first elected the Trustee in 2006, after spending a number of years on school council at his two sons Elementary and Secondary Schools. Peter was re-elected in 2010. During his time on the board, he has been the Chair of the Program Standing Committee, Bylaw Committee and the Closed Sessions of the Board. He also spent 3 years on the Special Education Advisory Committee.

Peter was elected the Vice Chair of the Board in 2009, 2012 and 2013. He was elected the Chair of the Board in December 2013 and currently holds that position. As someone who believes in our education system, Peter visits schools on a regular basis and talks with Principals, Vice-Principals, Staff and students. He understands the importance of being in schools to see first-hand how the decisions that are made at the board table are having an impact in the classroom. The Full Day Kindergarten and the French Immersion programs are just a couple of examples of the programs that are so positive for young students. As a member of the Orillia Secondary Schools Accommodation Review Committee, Peter worked with all members to find a solution that would best suit the needs of the students. He is looking forward to the opening of the new secondary school in Orillia that will be a state of the art facility, with the latest and greatest of technologies. Peter wants to continue to advocate, ensuring more projects on our capital plan receive funding this next year, such as Elmvale District High Schools addition/renovation.

On October 27th, elect someone you know, someone who has worked hard on your behalf in the past, and has the time and commitment to make

education better for students in Simcoe County. Elect Peter Beacock

T h e Springwater S p o r t s H e r i t a g e Hall of F a m e

is getting closer to their Inaugural Induction Ceremony on October 17. The tickets to attend the event inducting eleven athletes, seven builders and four teams are completely sold out, with a waiting list. Since this is the first induction year, the numbers were expanded to elect as many deserving members, who were nominated, to the Hall. The next induction will be held in 2016 with only two athletes, two builders and one team being elected.The Board members not only want to

recognize people in sports but also want to save the sports heritage that people have collected, written and spoken about over the years and make sure these stories are all documented so everyone can read about our sports history now and in the future. For example, the 1964-65 OMHA

Championship Juveniles will be one of the teams inducted. We were hoping that their coach, Bob Stacey, would be able to attend, but unfortunately Bob passed away on September 10th before we had a chance to thank him for a job well done coaching the boys to the championship. It is important to tell his story and when the website is up and ready to go, we will be able to have it available now and for future generations.Bob moved to Kitchener where he

continued to be part of the game he loved -- hockey. He was involved with the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League as a scout, director and president. Bob was with the team when they won the Memorial Cup in 1984. He also arranged for some of our local hockey players to get invites to the Ranger’s tryouts over the years. Bob continued to play hockey with old-timer teams over the years.The Currie Motors OMHA Elmvale

Juvenile Champions will be inducted into the SSHHoF as a team on October 17. It just will not be the same without Bob attending with his boys, but I am sure he will be there in spirit, smiling as his team is honoured for their achievement.Quiz Time: Two pitchers have recorded

six 300 strikeout seasons. Name them.On the Diamond: The Simcoe Rural

Fastball League finals between the Vasey Countrymen and the Wyevale Tribe is coming down to the wire. Vasey won the first two games of the best-of-five series but the Tribe has battled back to even it up at two games each. Game five is scheduled for Monday night in Wyevale at 8:00 pm…The Toronto Blue Jays will not be in the playoffs again this year. Injuries, inconsistent play, and bad decisions on and off the field are the main reasons the Jays will not make it. John Gibbons hasn’t gotten the best out of the players that general manager Alex Anthopoulos has given him. The big bosses will have to decide if the players they have are not good enough or is the manager not getting the best out of them. Or will they blame Anthopoulos for not getting the players that Gibbons needed to reach the post season. The Jays must change the players, manager or general manager (or all the above) before next season or the results will be the same…Fans were all over Anthopoulos for not making any moves at the deadline but you cannot blame him for not wanting to give up any of his young players for short-term help. Look at the Oakland Athletics. They gave up good young talent when leading their division and now they may not make the playoffs. It will take years for them to repair the damage if they do not have a successful year…The Jays have to be .500 or better to make this season less than a bust. ESPN Poll: ESPN did a poll to find the

best sports franchise in North America. The

poll was based on product, fan related experience, bang for the buck, affordability,

and the product. The San Antonio Spurs of the NBA were ranked #1 while the Toronto Maple Leafs were rated last at 122nd. The Leafs were 122nd for “bang for the buck” -- no surprise to anyone who has been to a game in Toronto. The best ranked Canadian franchise was the Montreal Canadiens at 55, while the Raptors came in at 74th and the Jays at 81st. Calgary (89th), Senators (92nd), Jets (97th), Canucks (112th) and Edmonton (115th), rounding out the Canadian teams. The Toronto brass did not agree with the ranking but without a Stanley Cup for almost 60 years, most would agree that improvement is needed.On the Ice: The Elmvale Curling Club

is still looking for members especially on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights in the men’s division. If interested in returning to curling or wanting to join for the first time, call 705-322-2371 and leave a message. Your call will be returned within 24 hours…Elmvale Minor Hockey is completing tryouts for the 2014-15 season.

He was the eighth pitcher to reach that mark…Pedro Martinez and Curt Schilling recorded their 300th strikeout in the season in 1997…In 1998, Curt Schilling again recorded his 300th strikeout. He is only the fifth pitcher to have consecutive 300 strikeout seasons…Born on this day include baseball stars Phil Rizzuto (1917) and Johnny Sain (1917). Legendary Yankee manager Miller Huggins died on this day in 1929. This & That: The

Western Conference of the Canadian Football League has been, until last weekend, kicking the butts of the teams in the Eastern Division. It looks like the East regular season champs will likely play less than .500 football for the first time in CFL history…The New York Yankees have hit 15,000 all-time homeruns. The 15,000th came against the Jays last Sunday…Pitchers Randy Johnson and Nolan Ryan both have had six 300 strikeout seasons.

“The Man With The Hat”

The baseball tradition of spring training came about because in 1885 the Chicago White Stockings went to Hot Springs in Arkansas to

prepare for the new season. In an effort to sell more licensed apparel, minor-league baseball teams

were changing their names so often that the sport's governing body now limits franchises to team name changes every three years.

* Automaker gets first permit in the Golden State *HERNDON, Va. (UPI) - On Tuesday, Audi got the first permit issued by California to test self-driving cars. New state

laws took effect today allowing automakers to do such testing on California roadways. Scott Keogh, President, Audi of America said, "Audi is a driving force behind the

research taking automated driving from science fiction to pre-production readiness." California isn't the first state where Audi has" tested it's autonomous vehicles. According to the press release, Nevada and Florida have joined forces with the automaker to test the

cars. The German automaker isn't alone when it comes to testing self-driving vehicles, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Ford and GM. Many expect to have such vehicles on the

road by 2020.

Before electricity, lighthouses provided light via wood or coal fires, or even candles. These were replaced by whale-oil lanterns, which gave way to kerosene lanterns in the 1800s. In the United States,

most lighthouses had a full-time keeper, who lived at the lighthouse and made sure it stayed lit.

MIDHURST PHARMACY

Pharmacist Facts… as the leaves fall…. With Pharmacist Owners Jenna Lougheed and Carolyn Glover

Fall has arrived and we see the leaves turning colours. With less sunlight in each day, your body is unable to make enough vitamin D for maintenance of good bone strength. It is time to think about supplementing with vitamin D3. For adults over 50, supplements of between 800 and 2000 IU are recommended. School aged children may be exposed to head lice. Head lice or nits (eggs) are usually on the scalp and nape of the neck and over the ears. Adult lice are approximately the same size as a sesame seed. It takes about 5 to 10 days for nits to hatch and for they begin feeding immediately which causes intense itching. 94 Finlay Mill Rd, Midhurst ON 705.503.7333 | www.pharmasavemidhurst.com

councillors were not even notified by email - they read about it in the paper. Finally in the fall of 2009 Simcoe County councillors

debated this controversial project. Shockingly, a debate had never occurred before construction. A huge majority 22-10 voted in favour of a one-year moratorium on the controversial development of the "Site 41" garbage dump in Tiny Township. Another contentious matter remains the freedom-of-

information request regarding a hydrogeological model. The county defied a provincial order from the IPC Commissioner Ann Cavoukian to release it. A press release from the IPC in August of 2009 decried the county’s actions: ‘The County,’ IPC Adjudicator Colin Bhattacharjee says

in today’s Order, ‘is continuing an unacceptable pattern of conduct in which it is deliberately disassociating itself from key records relating to the environmental integrity of Site 41, despite the fact that these records were created by Jagger Hims with taxpayers’ money. I have decided to order the County to take all steps, including legal proceedings if necessary, to obtain the hydrogeological model and input data from Jagger Hims.’ ‘When institutions embark on ventures that will have

major implications to the public, as is the case with Site 41, they must plan up-front to include access to information of public interest,’ said Commissioner Cavoukian. ‘I cannot stress enough the importance of freedom of information. If citizens are to participate meaningfully in the democratic process and hold politicians and bureaucrats accountable, they must have timely access to this type of information.’

Later the Site 41 group went on to lobby the county to have special easements placed on Site 41 to protect it from ever becoming a landfill site. It will be kept in agriculture with the Ontario Farmland Trust. The Certificate of Approval was later removed from Site 41. The site was put up for public tender and is currently being farmed by Tony Nahuis, Roy Nahuis and Steven Nahuis. We have much to celebrate!Please come Saturday September 27th, 2014 for Sunrise

Huronia Players Receives bright Futures donation from ScotiabankDoris Sloan (right)

receives a cheque for $1000 from Cheryl Gethings, an employee of Scotiabank and a dedicated volunteer with Huronia Players. The aptly named ‘Bright Futures’ Scotiabank E m p l o y e e Volunteer Program e n c o u r a g e s employees to give their time to worthwhile cause in the community. For Cheryl it is not just a worthwhile cause it is her passion - for the past several plays that the community theatre group has produced, Cheryl has painted most of what you, as an audience, see on stage. For I’ll Be Back Before Midnight it was walls and stencilled faux wallpaper and for You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, those wonderful

set pieces were painted and detailed by a team of painters with the most hours put in by Cheryl. S c o t i a b a n k e m p l o y e e s qualify for a financial donation to their chosen group once their volunteer

hours exceed 50 and she got to that level months ago. “It gives me an opportunity to be creative”, says the modest Gethings. Huronia Players president Doris Sloan adds, “It is wonderful to have such dedicated members as Cheryl who not only have artistic talents, but also think of us when an opportunity to donate arises. Our thanks to Scotia Bank and Cheryl for supporting live theatre in Midland”

Gain Valuable Experience While Representing Elmvale

Calling all area youth please take this opportunity to be a part of a wonderful tradition that happens at the Elmvale Fall Fair every year. Being a youth representative for the Flos Agricultural

Society has provided me with great experiences and I have met many wonderful people along the way. This is a great opportunity to gain valuable experience in public speaking, interview skills as well as learning about our own fair and fairs across our province. If you are interested in this adventure please contact me

and I will answer any questions you may have. My email address is [email protected] P.S. I can't wait to see everyone at the fair in two weeks.

Rowan at the Royal York last February.

Thankyou to our sponsors

We have a new local hockey team in our area. They are the Springwater Selects. This team consists of

Springwater firefighters. This winter some of the firefighters got together and

arranged some ice time at the Elmvale Arena on Saturday nights. We had experienced players and first time players and had a great time and some great bonding. Some of the firefighters set up a couple of fund raisers

against other fire departments. We played Barrie Firefighters in one game. In another game, we played ex Springwater Firefighters and raised money and food for the Elmvale Food Bank from both games and had a great time doing this. We entered our team in a tournament in April. We needed

team jerseys. We went out and ask some of our community business's for there support. Our sponsors are Currie Truck

Centre, Elmvale Home Building Centre, Ritchie's Feeds and Needs, Steelers Restuarant and Pub, Church's Farm Supply's, The Body Works, Whitfields Guardian Drugs, Solly Family Dentistry and Beacocks Auto. A very big THANKYOu to all our sponsors. We now have a full set of jerseys with there names on the back. One last thankyou to some firefighters for putting some

extra time to make this team successful. They are Ryan Archer, Sheldon Hargrave, Barrett Truax and Trevor Adams. We will be doing more fundraisers in the future.

Keep reading this paper for dates. Also one other Thankyou goes out to our deputy chief Craig Williams for sending communications out to the firefighters ensuring our pickup hockey was successful. Thankyou! Doug Spence

rvh auxiliary once again pledges to improve patient careRoyal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) has a lot to

celebrate thanks to the RVH Auxiliary. Today, Janice Williams, in her first official duty as president of the RVH Auxiliary, announced a $2 million pledge to help bring advanced cardiac care and child and youth mental health services closer to home.Williams made the announcement official today by

pledging to raise the funds the way the members of the Auxiliary always have – by rolling up their sleeves and getting to work. And that is exactly what they will be doing this weekend with the Auxiliary’s annual Tag Days.“Tag Days are this weekend and that means rain or shine

we will be standing on street corners, outside department stores and shopping malls, holding our collection trays,” says Janice Williams, RVH Auxiliary president. “We do it because we believe in our cause. We believe the people of this region deserve advanced cardiac care close to home and we believe travelling for such treatment is unacceptable. We also believe that this region’s precious children and youth with mental illness are not getting the care they need here. They often are falling through the cracks and this too is unacceptable. We will raise these funds as we have in the past and celebrate on the day these services are finally available at RVH. It will be an incredible day for us all.”There can be no doubt this

group of RVH supporters will do exactly as they say they will. The Auxiliary’s track record of support is proof enough.The Auxiliary raises money

through many fundraisers such as vendor sales at the health centre, Nevada lottery tickets, an annual bazaar and through its two businesses at RVH - The Café Royale and Victoria’s Gift Shop. All the proceeds are used to improve patient care.“I can’t stress enough the

extraordinary difference the Auxiliary makes in our community, in our organization and especially, in the lives of our patients,” says Janice Skot. “We are so fortunate at RVH to have such heartfelt support from the RVH Auxiliary

members. Not only do they give the gift of time to assist in 75 different areas of the health centre, they raise funds to

improve patient care, including the incredible pledge they have made today.”

Janice Skot, RVH President and CEO, Kirsten Parker, chair RVH Board of Directors, Janice Williams, RVH

Auxiliary president and Arlette Utton, Chair, Foundation Board of Directors were all on hand for the Auxiliary’s $2 million pledge to help bring advanced cardiac care and child and youth mental health services closer to home.

Glory bound: The bantam Rep Journey Jamie DietrichFour practices in and the

Elmvale Bantam Rep team, sponsored by Hapamp, is starting to gel. Coaching staff Paul Bouzis, Kevin Fay, Dan O'Neill, and James Fleming have been pushing the boys hard with skating and passing drills. They have been focussing on utilizing the defensive players on the point when trying build a scoring opportunity.On Sunday, September 21,

the Elmvale Coyotes put their game plan to the test in an exhibition game against the temporarily homeless Oro

Thunder. Oro's home rink is being renovated and will not be ready until December. In the meantime, the Thunder is practicing out of Notawasaga.Xander Baatje opened the scoring for the Coyotes 90 seconds into the first period. Harrison

Sibbald made it 2-0 three minutes later. Both teams started to take interference penalties in the second period, and with the Coyotes down to three skaters, the Thunder scored their only goal of the game. The third period started like the second ended - with a mess of penalties. In a 4 on 4

situation, the Coyote defense passed the puck to an open Derek O'Neill, who waited patiently for the Oro goalie to drop. When he did, Derek tucked the puck in, making it a 3-1 game. The rest of the game was spent with multiple Oro players in and out of the penalty box for

interference and too many men penalties. The referees called it close, but this early in the season, when players are rusty and unfamiliar with their line mates, it is wise to set a high bar of discipline for them to meet.Coach Paul addressed the team, and then the parents briefly before the game to share his

expectations for the team. He expects hard work and team work. He, in conjunction with the team, is setting standards of behaviour, covering everything from the penalty for late arrival at practice to leaving dressing rooms spotless after games – at home and especially on the road. Respect for the people who make hockey possible, respect for the game, and respect for the team is the code Coach Paul wants to instill. He stated that, “The best team wins.” He's confident that this team has all the makings of a “best team”. So far so good.The season begins for the Coyotes

with a Thanksgiving road trip. Currently five away games are scheduled for the first week of October. If you see one of the boys, wish them luck.

agriculture In Springwater the largest economic segment is agriculture. We have farm operations that have gross incomes from $250,000 to over a million dollars per year employing a significant part of our population. This sector deserves more respect and support.

We need leadership that recognizes the importance of our farmers and helps provide the conditions for them to grow and prosper including:

affordable energy such as access to natural gas and three phase hydro which would reduce their operating costs and make them more competitive with foreign imports.

high speed communication with better wide band and cellular services to operate their sophisticated state of the art facilities.

local food literacy program in all government facilities better educating everyone in the necessity of eating healthy local grown foods.

local infrastructure such as roads and bridges rebuilt, not just based on traffic flow but what is needed to move large farm equipment around the township.

Farm friendly official Plans and Zoning Bylaws that allow a farm to compete and adjust their operations without unnecessary red tape.

Protect farmland from sprawl and conflicting uses a voice at the table through a Farm action liaison Group which would keep council abreast of how its

decisions are impacting farm operations.

agriculture has formed the heritage of our communities and has a rightful place in our future

No one knows for sure when or where the first lighthouse was built. Early lighthouses

were too simple to be recorded; some were little more than candles placed in the windows of tall buildings at night.

Others were hilltop structures on which large fires could be built. The earliest known lighthouses were built on the

Mediterranean Sea in the 7th century B.C.

Bullying • Part Six

The OPP Report Canadian anti-Fraud Centre

1-888-495-8501(hours: mon. - Fri - 8 am to 6 pm)

www.antifraudcentre.ca

By: Ernest Matton I.C.A.D.C., E.F.A.P.,Addiction Behavioural SpecialistE.F.T. Practitioner • T.I.R. Facilitator Certified Gladue Writer Guys and girls who are bullied may find their

schoolwork and health suffering. Perhaps little Johnny is starting to have stomach pains and diarrhea and was diagnosed with a digestive condition called irritable bowel syndrome as a result of the stress that came from being bullied throughout ninth grade or Jane spent her afternoons hungry and unable to concentrate in class because she was too afraid to go to the school cafeteria at lunchtime.Studies show that people who are abused by their peers

are at risk for mental health problems, such as low self-esteem, stress, depression, or anxiety. They may also think about suicide more.Bullies are at risk for problems, too. Bullying is

violence, and it often leads to more violent behavior as the bully grows up. Some teen bullies end up being rejected by their peers and lose friendships as they grow older. Bullies may also fail in school and not have the career or relationship success that other people enjoy.It is important for parents to discuss the facts on bullying

with their children to help teach them how to watch out for bullying and to avoid being bullied. There are several signs parents can look for when evaluating if your child is a victim of bullying.

• Comes home with unexplained injuries or with damaged or missing clothing or other belongings• Has change in eating habits• Makes excuses not to go to school• Has fewer friends• Feels helpless• Talks about suicide• Acts out of character• Avoids certain places or playing outside alone• Feels like they are not good enough• Has trouble sleeping• Blames themselves for their problems

The facts on bullying also provide information on what types of signs to look for in children who might be bullying others.

• Becomes frequently violent• Has trouble controlling anger• Is manipulative and controlling of others and

situations• Is quick to blame others• Does not accept responsibility for their actions• Needs to win or be the best at everything

Understanding these warning signs can help parents prevent their children from becoming bullies or help them not become a victim of a bully. Counseling or

therapy is good methods in helping to treat a child who exhibits symptoms of bullying. Children who are victims may also need some kind of support or counseling to help resolve underlying issues of emotional feelings of inadequacy. Children who are confident and have higher self-esteem are less likely to fall prey to the attacks of bullying. Bullying can be a very traumatic experience for your

child. It can cause physical and emotional harm, and damage your child for a long time to come. Indeed, a victim of bullying can suffer from physical injury, but the long lasting traumatic effects to someone’s spiritual, emotional and psychological well being can be even more damaging in the long term, even though these effects might be subtle. It is also important to note that bullying can take place without physical contact. Emotional, verbal and electronic (online or through text messaging on cell phones) abuse can cause the same emotional and psychological effects as physical bullying. Being bullied can lead to difficulty in forming healthy personal relationships, as well as leading to depression, low self image and even suicide. Here are a few suggestions for dealing with bullying or a bully. It is more helpful when a bully’s parents and school are involved as well, working to help diffuse the situation. If you are concerned that your child is the victim of bullying, below are some options you can take to help him or her in dealing with bullying:Get your child’s input: You need to be a safe place your

child can turn for help when dealing with bullying. Be open to your child, and make sure that you are accepting. You should let your child know that being bullied is not his or her fault. Also, you should find out what has been tried to stop the bullying, and what has worked (or hasn’t worked) so far.Talk to the school authorities: Discuss the problem

with your child’s teacher, principal or counselor. A meeting with all three can help everyone know how to help a child who is dealing with bullying. In many cases, bullying takes place in unsupervised areas, such as school buses, bathrooms, playgrounds and other areas that can be hard to monitor. If you know where the bullying is taking place, you can let school authorities know so that they can step up “patrols” in those areas to discourage bullying.

I will continue with part seven Bullying, in my next column. If you have any comments, questions

or suggestions please write me or email at [email protected]. We are now offering home visit for one to

one counselling. For more information, or to book an appointment please call (647) 964-3663.

Discovering Policing - The Ontario Provincial Police Wants You To Consider a Career in PolicingThe Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is supporting

the launch of Discover Policing, a province-wide, collaborative initiative under the auspices of the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, which aims to attract young people to a career in policing.Discover Policing will feature a number of social media

portals where individuals interesting in a law enforcement career can engage with police personnel about what police organizations are looking for in potential candidates, educational requirements, potential opportunities, etc. Individuals who want to consider a law enforcement career can connect with police personnel through three social media platforms:Facebook: The Discover Policing Facebook page will

be the primary source of information for the initiative. This page will include information about Discover Policing, provide helpful resources and links for potential candidates, links to all police agencies, and a calendar of recruitment events for police services across Ontario. Twitter: This Twitter account, @DiscoverPolicin, will

connect users to police personnel who can assist users with their queries. LinkedIn: Users of this professional networking

platform will be able to connect with police personnel and learn more about policing in Ontario.The OPP is also pleased to announce that it will participate

in the Discover Policing Exposition that will be held on October 15, 2014 at the Toronto Police College. This one-day event, which is free of charge for members of the public, will provide an opportunity for Ontario police services to showcase the profession of policing to potential candidates and for attendees to engage directly with police personnel. It will take place from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm and feature exhibitor booths for police agencies, presentations by police personnel about career opportunities, and special demonstrations.SEARCH WARRANT EXECuTED

responded to a report that a male had been trapped under a vehicle.Upon arrival an initial OPP investigation revealed that a

male had been moving an Off Road Motor Vehicle when it rolled on top of him.This male was pronounce deceased at the scene.Deceased is Anthony TEMOLDER 87 year old from

Springwater Twp.Police at this time are not treating this death as suspicious.FOOD DRIVEThe Huronia West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial

Police assisted by members from the Huronia West Auxiliary Unit and the Nancy Island Lion’s Club conducted the following food drives:Saturday, September 13th, 2014 between 11:00 a.m. and

4:00 p.m. at:Wasaga beach - The Real Canadian Super Store: As

a result of the support of the Nancy Island Lion’s Club and the Real Canadian Super Store and the generosity of the public we collected approximately 450 lbs. of food and $267.15 in cash donations all of which went to the Wasaga Beach Food Bank. This food drive was conducted primarily in the rain but this did not dampen the spirits of donators, 2 in particular actually came out of the Real Canadian Super Store with full grocery carts as donations to our drive. Kudos to those two individuals, you know who you are, thanks.Sunday, September 14th, 2014 between 11:00 a.m. and

4:00 p.m. at:Elmvale Foodland: With the ongoing support of the

Elmvale Foodland and again the generosity of the residents and visitors to the Village of Elmvale we collected approximately 800 lbs. of food and just over $60 in cash donations all of which went to the Elmvale Food Bank.Stayner Foodland: Again with the ongoing support

of the Stayner Foodland and the generosity of both the residents and visitors to the Town of Stayner we collected approximately 500 lbs. of food and $113.10. A lot of Clearview Township is agricultural land, which explains the generous donation from one resident who dropped by with a half trailer load of fresh corn for the food bank, just awesome, thanks.Again big thanks to the Elmvale Foodland, Stayner

Foodland and the Wasaga Beach Real Canadian Super Store for being kind enough to allow these drives at their businesses, the Nancy Island Lion’s Club for their ongoing support and of course the many generous individuals who donate food and or cash to those in need.Vulnerable, Compassionate Seniors are Favoured

Targets of CriminalsOntario Provincial Police (OPP) say scammers continue

to inflict financial and emotional harm by preying upon seniors and vulnerable citizens through “The Emergency Scam”. In 2013, nine (9) per cent of the total number of

complaints received at the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre were submitted by Canadian victims of the “Emergency Scam” -- sometimes referred to as the “Grandparent Scam”. Of those 2,269 complaints, 743 people were identified as victims who reported a loss of more than $2.4 million. Members of the OPP Anti-Rackets Branch say the

“Emergency Scam” has been around for many years but it continues to fuel other criminal enterprises across Ontario. Police believe there are many more victims, but they are reluctant to report the crime, either out of embarrassment or by not knowing how or what to do. The fact that seniors are hesitant to seem rude by saying ‘no’ or hanging up on someone on the phone makes them primary targets for criminals to accrue substantial sums of money through many seemingly small successes.In a typical “emergency” scam, the victim receives a

phone call or e-mail from someone claiming to be a friend or relative in distress. The caller or e-mailer goes on to indicate that they are in some kind of trouble, such as being in a car crash, they need money for bail, or they are having trouble returning from a foreign country. The fraudster specifically asks that the victims to not tell other relatives. You may get a call from two people, one pretending to be a person in distress and the other pretending to be either a police officer or a lawyer. Your so-called “grandchild” asks questions during the call, getting victims to volunteer personal information. Victims generally don't verify the story until after their money has been sent through a wire transfer service or they have provided access to personal banking or credit card information to criminals. To guard against becoming a victim, police advise you to

first check with another family member or trusted friend to verify the information BEFORE sending any money or providing credit card information by phone or e-mail. These incidents should be reported every time they occur, to allow police to investigate and find the perpetrators.If you or someone you know may have been the victim of

the ‘emergency’ scam, contact your local police service or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).FRAUD…Recognize it…Report it…Stop it.

On Saturday, September 20th, members of the Huronia West Detachment Crime Unit of the Ontario Provincial Police assisted by members of the Huronia West OPP executed a search warrant at a residence on Alexander Street in the Hamlet of Anten Mills.This search warrant was as a result of information

received from Barrie Police Service.As a result the OPP seized the following items:• Semi-Automatic hand gun (loaded) that was previously reported stolen from a residence in the GTA in 2006• Quantity of improperly stored ammunitionCharged with “Possession a Firearm, prohibited or

restricted Obtain by Crime”, “Possession of loaded Prohibited or Restricted Firearm”, “Knowledge of Unauthorized Possession of Firearm” and “Careless storage of firearm, weapon, prohibited device or ammunition” is a 20 year old male from Springwater Twp. First appearance was on September 21st, 2014 in Newmarket Court.ENCREASED ENFORCEMENT TO INCREASE

TRAFFIC SAFETYRecently the members of the Huronia West Detachment

received motor vehicle collision (MVC) data analyses that showed a 100% increase in MVCs between July 2014 (15 MVCs) and August 2014 (30 MVCs) in the Town of Wasaga Beach.This data also identified 2 major roadways that almost

2/3 of the collisions occurred on. These were: River Road West between River Bend Plaza and Main Street and Mosley Street between River Bend Plaza and 45th Street.

As a result of this data Huronia West OPP members will be out on these streets focusing on behaviour by motorists that lead to collisions.This increase was the second highest

number of MVCs in a one month period since the snow storms of January 2014.Please remember to obey the speed limit,

BrIDGE BITES from The American Contract Bridge League CouNT uP To TEN By: Brian Gunnell

Both Vulnerable South West North East 1♥ Pass 2♥ Pass 4♥ all Pass Declarer can count eight top tricks and there are various ways by which she might attempt get that total up to ten. There’s the Club finesse … a Diamond trick or two … a Diamond ruff or two. What is the best way of combining the chances after the ♠Q opening lead?

There is approximately 0% chance of getting two Diamond ruffs (if Declarer plays on Diamonds the defense will shift to trumps pronto) … there is a 50% chance of the Club finesse working … and there is approximately a 75% chance of East holding at least one of the top two Diamonds. So playing on Diamonds is clearly a better bet for the ninth trick than is taking the Club finesse. And the 10th trick? That can come from a Diamond ruff in the short hand (we’ve already counted Declarer’s five trumps, so taking a couple of Spade ruffs won’t add to the trick total). Declarer has a plan: set up a Diamond trick, and ruff a Diamond. That’s a very fine plan but Declarer will need to be careful with the timing. After winning the opening Spade lead in Dummy, it is essential to lead a Diamond at Trick 2 to Declarer’s Queen and West’s Ace. West predictably shifts to a trump. That is won in Dummy, and another Diamond is led, this time won by East. Back comes another trump, but Declarer is home. She wins that trump in hand, ruffs a Diamond, returns to hand with the ♣A, draws the last trump, and has her 10 tricks. P.S. Let’s go back to the point where East wins the second round of Diamonds. Suppose that East, instead of returning a trump, continues with a third round of Diamonds. In this case, Declarer will take care to play a low Diamond from hand (ruffing on the board), saving her Diamond winner for later, when trumps have been drawn.

Set Targets for use of local agriculture Product in

Government Institutions Ivy - Simcoe-Grey MPP Jim Wilson, Interim Opposition Party Leader, reaffirmed that the Ontario PCs continue to steadfastly stand up for rural Ontario by today calling for increased use of local food by public institutions. "It's nice to see the Premier here at the 2014 International

Plowing Match, and I encourage her to visit my riding and rural Ontario more often. But we need to see action," said Wilson. "Today is a perfect opportunity for the government to finally set targets for the use of locally produced food by public sector organizations." The Local Food Act received all-Party support in the

Legislature last November, but the portion establishing targets and goals to increase the purchase of local agriculture products by government bodies has not yet been proclaimed. "Today, the Ontario PC Caucus and concerned residents

and visitors who rely on agriculture for their livelihoods will be asking every government MPP they see to explain why they are dragging their feet," said Wilson. "A strong rural Ontario is vital to Ontario's economy and creating jobs. We can support our agriculture producers instantly with this simple measure that everyone agrees upon." "The government has waited so long to move forward on

the idea that they've wasted an entire year of the program as it's already September - the majority of farmers have already harvested," added Toby Barrett, Ontario PC Critic for Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. "What a shame. Why isn't this a priority? If I was in hospital, I'd feel better knowing my food came from the field, rather than packaged into a box half way around the globe."

RVH reaches milestone in treatment of women’s cancerRoyal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) has taken

a major step forward to improve access to care for women throughout Central and Northern Ontario by developing comprehensive gynecologic cancer services close to home.RVH saw its first gynecologic cancer patients last week

and the first surgery took place today. Prior to these services being available at RVH women often had to travel long distances for their lifesaving care.“With 3,200 women across the province requiring

gynecologic cancer services every year, the waits can be lengthy – and time is important when you’re dealing with cancer. Some women have to travel quite a distance for treatment,” says Dr. Jason Dodge, clinical lead, gynecologic cancer services with the Simcoe Muskoka Regional Cancer Program (SMRCP). “By developing gynecologic cancer services at RVH we are better positioned to provide care throughout the entire patient journey for cancers originating within a woman’s reproductive organs. Once the services are fully implemented this will close the distance gap for women in Central and Northern Ontario.”Improving women’s cancer services is one of the health

centre’s top clinical priorities, so RVH will continue to expand this program as the health centre is developed as a Centre of Excellence for gynecology cancer care. The RVH Foundation is also raising funds to buy specialized equipment used in the diagnosis and treatment of women’s

cancers.Last year, approximately 300 women from Central and

Northern Ontario had to travel to Toronto for surgery as those highly-specialized services could not be provided in the region. RVH’s first gynecologic cancer patient, Katherine Bacik, was thrilled to receive her treatment close to home.“I have two small children and having to travel to

Toronto for treatment for my cervical cancer would have placed a huge burden on my family,” says the Alliston mother. “This is such a phenomenal opportunity to be able to have this kind of care close to home. The incredible care I’ve received at RVH has made me feel like I’m not just a number.”The expansion of services at RVH’s Simcoe Muskoka

Regional Cancer Centre, which opened in 2012, means women from throughout Central as well as Northern Ontario, will not have to travel great distances for treatment.

First Elmvale Legion President in both wars

Springwater News, Aug. 4th, 1999Jack Whitton was born in Elmvale

in 1897. Educated in Elmvale, he married Marjorie Ritchie and they had four children, two boys, and two girls. Three of these children still reside in the area.In World War I, heeding the call

to arms, Jack enlisted as a private with the 177th Battalion on February 29th 1916. After his training period, Jack was transferred to the 4th Battalion and "sent to the Front". On March 21st, 1918, Jack was wounded, not once but two times; once by shrapnel, and later the same day he was "gassed". After a period of recovery, he again went back to the Front, where he stayed until the cessation of hostilities on November 11th , 1918. As was common at the time, Jack was not discharged from service until June 2nd ,

1919, returning home shortly afterward. In World War II, again heeding the call, Jack enlisted May 13th, 1942.

Deemed too old for active service, he was transferred to the Veteran's Guards, with the rank of Corporal. Stationed in Peta wawa, his main du ties were guarding POW'S. He re mained there until his discharge on May 2nd, 1946.In the period between the

Wars, Jack and nineteen others were re sponsible for the formation ofBranch 262, in Elmvale.

He was the first president, 1934-1936, and held that post again, from 1938-1940. Not content to sit back and let oth ers do the work, Jack remained ac tive in the Legion up until the seventies. Other positions held were Sgt-at-Arms, (which he held for 22yrs) Poppy Chairman, and he was also actively involved in the planning and con struction of the present Legion building (the first meeting held Mar. 4th 1954).Jack's wife Marjorie was also

involved, helping organise the campaign to have a Ladies Auxiliary formed. She was the first L.A. president, from 1954 to 1956. (The Char ter was granted to the L.A. on Dec. 28, 1954).

A bocce court is 10-13 feet wide and between 60 and 100 feet long. The ball that becomes the target is called the pallino. Bocce is based on one of the oldest diversions known to man-throwing something at a target. A painting of two boys playing a similar type of game was found in an Egyptian tomb and dated to 5200 B.C. Roman soldiers played a game like bocce during the Punic Wars in the Third Century B.C. In this version of the sport, stones were used instead of balls. Later, the Romans played the game with coconuts they brought back from Africa. Emperor Augustus (31 B.C.-14 A.D.) played the game and became the first in a long line of notable public figures who enjoyed bocce or a closely related type of sport.

Life is Not Fair by Gwen Randall-Young If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within

you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.

John Heywood Have you ever had the feeling that life is not fair?

Sometimes when we have setbacks, or when others seem to be more blessed that we are, this feeling can creep in. Well, if it is any consolation, if you have felt life is unfair, you were absolutely right!Life truly is not fair. Fairness implies some kind of

agreed-upon rules to which the game of life will somehow abide. However, there is no referee or rules committee to ensure equality and justice for all.Life is more about how we play the cards we are given.

It is also about the attitude we choose to adopt. We will be happier to the degree that we can focus on what is good about our situation. We will also be happier to the degree that we ask what we can give to life, rather than what we can get. We will all experience challenges at some point. We may

even be heartbroken. Yet even in the heartbroken loss of a loved one, we can still celebrate the fact that we were blessed at all by the presence of that person in our lives. Note that I am talking here about life being unfair, not

people or institutions. Naturally we need to stand up to injustice in situations where there are rules and expectations about fairness. Life, on the other hand....well, if we think about people

who are in war zones, facing starvation, or in any way just struggling to survive, we are reminded again of how unfair life can be, and how blessed we really are.

WOW!It seems only yesterday that we heard children splashing

in pools and the crack of the bat at the ball diamond. What happened? Summer is over. School has been back for three weeks and families are settling in to the school routines. Early mornings, homework, school sports and league sports in the evening. How things change. Hope you all had a great summer!At the plowing match last week, I learned that there will

be a special pick up of all your used household batteries with your blue box the week of November 3rd. Put them in a zip lock bag and place them on the ground beside the blue box. What a great way to deal with them and keep that toxic stuff out of our landfill sites!Fall brings new initiatives, wants, desires. Just a little

reminder that we have two letter signs in the community. We use these as fund raisers, to support your events and to raise monies for more community programs for your children … and mine. If you wish to place a message on the sign, drop an email to [email protected], providing an idea of your message, your timelines and your telephone number.I also remind you that the Anten Mills Hall on Horseshoe

Valley Road is available for rent. It has been completely updated and has a full kitchen, washrooms and a great hall. Should you like to rent the hall for your family get together, birthday party, meeting, special event, please contact the township office at 705 728-4784 to make your booking.And your next Hall Board Meeting is scheduled for 7

pm October 9. Those at the meeting will be planning the fall events including the Santa Claus Parade and the New Year’s Ever festivities. Many hands make light work! Come out and share your talents and ideas. The Hall Board WELCOMES you!For those of you old enough to cast your vote in the

upcoming municipal elections, our current Ward 3 Councillor, Rick Webster, made a last minute decision to pull his name from the upcoming election race, due to the very serious illness of a family member. We certainly wish Rick and his family all the very best. With Anten Mills' own Jenny Coughlin throwing her name

into the ring, Ward 3 does have one of our own offering to represent our interests at Springwater Council for the next 4 years. Best wishes to Jenny with her campaign!Talk to you again real soon.

Minesing Moments w/Lorrie Norwood [email protected] / 728-9784

September has certainly come and almost gone in a hurry. Is anyone else wondering where the month went? Perhaps we will finally get some nice weather that we can enjoy. We would like to welcome Ms. Sonia Kadela, our new

Principal, to Minesing Central Public School. We hope that she will settle in quickly and be welcomed to our community with open arms. Minesing is now “tweeting” at minesingtweets for those who are technically savvy. For parents of children at the school, the Pizza Q Meet the Teacher will be held on October 1st from 5-7 pm, information will be sent home soon. You will all see the signs on most corners and throughout

the area for the people running for office for Springwater Township. I am sure that each of these candidates have websites to outline their platforms, their experience, interests, etc. so it is a good idea to be informed before you vote. I believe that phone numbers are also available for people to contact the candidates directly so if you have any questions, you can search www.springwater.ca or inquire at the administrative offices directly for contact numbers. Remember, if you don’t vote, you can’t complain!

Best wishes to anyone celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or birth this month. Until next time, don’t put

the shorts away yet, we may have some warm weather coming our way!

Pride and OwnershipThe road to recovery from a brain injury

can be one of unanswered questions and people expecting that recovery will go a certain way. It is important for the brain injured person to take ownership of the brain injury and speak about their brain injury with pride. There is nothing wrong with having a brain injury. During recovery so many brain injured people “just want somebody to listen and understand” what it can be like to make it through the day? Many brain injured people want to share their story not for sympathy but for understanding. However it is up to the brain injured person to make sure that when they talk about their brain injury there is “pride” in the tone of their voice. How does one put “PRIDE” in their voice? Practice the tone in your delivery.When people talk about great achievements there is

always “pride” in the tone of their voice. For the brain injured and the people who care for them it is important from the start of recovery to see that brain injury as “an opportunity for growth” and that recovery is possible. People with brain injuries might spend a lot of time and

energy trying to be the “person” they used to be however by changing the course just a bit and “taking ownership” of their recovery path it can make the difference in how quickly recovery happens. The people who care for brain injured people can also

“take ownership” of their role in the recovery process. The people who care for the brain injured must also speak about brain injury with pride in their voice. If the brain injured person is looking for “reassurance” from somebody that they trust that it is “ok to have a brain injury” this can be an important part of the recovery process. It is important to start the conversation about brain injury

with pride and ownership and suddenly the people around the brain injured and the people who care for them can come to a level of understanding that can aide in creating a platform, that helps eliminate the feeling of isolation that many people with brain injuries and the people who care for them experience. To the Brain Injured: Talk about your brain injury with

pride and ownership To the Caregivers of the Brain Injured: Take pride and

ownership when you talk about brain injury it can make the difference in the recovery path.

Jean Oostrom lives in Springwater Township has lived with a brain injury since 1997.

Local Paper Shredding Company to Hold 3rd Annual Shred Day for Gilda’s Club in barrie Shred North, the local paper shredding company in

Barrie, Ontario will be holding a ‘Charity Shred Day’ on Saturday, October 4th, 2014 between 9:00am and 1:00pm at the Barrie Molson Center (North Parking Lot) in Barrie. Residents are encouraged to bring out their confidential documents to be shredded by the Shred North mobile shred trucks for only a donation of $10 per box or shopping bag with 100% of funds collected going toward Gilda’s Club.Shred North, Nominee for the 2014 Service Excellence

Award & The Green Business Award to be presented by the Greater Barrie Chamber of Commerce, is holding the Charity Shred Day in order to both raise funds for Gilda’s

Club as well as to assist in combating identity theft in the community.With identity theft on the rise in Canada, the

need to shred confidential documents is at an all-time high. Incidents of identity theft have increased by as much as 250% in some areas of North America. With a large number of citizens storing older confidential files in need of shredding, the Shred Day offers a simple, local solution.This year’s Shred Day will be the 3rd year

in a row that Shred North has shredded documents for local residents in return for donations to Gilda’s Club. As a show of support for the 2013 event, Barrie Mayor Jeff Lehman proclaimed it “Charity Shred Day” in the city.

Dear Friends:The first week back in Parliament has proven to be a busy start to the

session. On September 11th, Minister Oliver announced more action by our

Government to create jobs and opportunities with the introduction of the new Small Business Job Credit, which is expected to save small businesses more than $550 million over the next two years.With this announcement the Small Business Job Credit will effectively

lower small businesses’ Employment Insurance premiums from the current legislated rate of $1.88 to $1.60 per $100 of insurable earning in 2015 and 2016. Businesses’ that pay employer EI premiums equal to or less than $15,000 in those years will be eligible for the credit. Almost 90% of all businesses in Canada, about 780,000 in total, will directly benefit from the

credit.This Small Business Job Credit represents yet more action by

our government to grow the economy and help create jobs for all Canadians. Since the depth of the global recession, over 1.1 million net new jobs have been created – 82 per cent full time, with 78 per cent in the private sector and 67 per cent in high-wage industries.For more information please visit http://www.fin.gc.ca/n14/

The Dental CornerConscious Sedation in Dentistry

You don't need to be afraid of going to the dentist anymore.For many Canadians going to the dentist is

frightful event, even though dentistry has changed so much in the past years. A visit to the dentist can now be relaxing and fun. Unfortunately, this is not enough for the many people who avoid the dentist due to fear.Now at Solly Family Dentistry, by taking a

small pill, people can have their dental care accomplished while they are totally relaxed and absolutely comfortable. Both Dr Dave and Dr Nicole have always been very sensitive to their patients with high fear and apprehension, and now can offer them a safe and even more comfortable experience. So many people are avoiding needed care due to fear. Dave and Nicole look forward to helping these people visit the dentist with this safe and wonderful technique of anxiety-free dentistry. "Dentistry is very high tech today with all sorts of gadgets that get the job done better and quicker, but now with anxiety-free dentistry I can bridge the gap between technology and comfort," said Dr. Dave Solly.He added, "You should see the look on the faces

of my patients when they complete their care and they have a healthy mouth - there aren't words to describe it! That look is why I love dentistry. I helped to change someone's life".

Dr. David Solly and Dr. Nicole Solly practice in Elmvale at 58 Yonge St. S. (next to Tim Horton’s).

They are accepting new patients. Oral Sedation and Hospital Dentistry is available.

They can be reached at 705-322-0155www.sollyfamilydentistry.com

*-- New research suggests Stonehenge was once a circle --*WILTSHIRE, England (UPI) - Scientists have been surmising origin theories and attempting to unravel the mysteries of

Stonehenge for more than eight centuries now. But it took a hose that was a smidgen too short and a prolonged drought -- not mathematics or physics or carbon dating -- to uncover one of the most significant revelations in recent years. Stonehenge used to be a full circle. In 2013, as grounds dried up on the monument site, several particularly brown, scorched spots of grass began to appear where one might expect stones to lie if Stonehenge's partial circle was completed. The groundskeeper called the spots to

the attention of local archaeologists. "I was standing on the public path looking at the grass near the stones and thinking that we needed to find a longer hosepipe to

get the parched patches to green up," Tim Daw told BBC News. "A sudden lightbulb moment in my head, and I remembered that the marks were where archaeologists had looked without success for signs that there had been stone holes, and that parch marks

can signify them." Experts believe that Stonehenge was likely constructed in several stages during the Neolithic period, its beginning and

completion spanning a few hundred years sometime between 3000 BCE to 2000 BCE.

The first U.S. cent, which was the size of today's 50-cent piece, was coined in 1793. In 1856 the mint produced the

first penny of today's size.

The blood pressure cuff was invented by an Austrian physician named Samuel Siegfried Karl Ritter von Basch

and first saw use in doctor's surgeries in the 1880's. An improved version of the cuff was unveiled by Italian

physician Scipione Riva-Rocci in 1896.

Deeds from the HeartA few years ago, I wrote a devotional

entitled "Tiny Running Feet." The story revolved around a little boy

running towards the front of the church with outstretched arms in order to help carry a huge cross to its final destination; a stand at the entrance of the church.It has been four years since that incident, and during

that time, a lot has happened. I also wrote about selling our church building in "Church For Sale", due to a huge mortgage debt and low attendance. It was during this time of uncertainty that an amalgamation of two local denominations became a reality.There are customs and practices of both churches that

both congregations are slowly getting used to, even to a little boy, as we strive to become "one in Christ".And then one Sunday it happened. At the end of the

service when the assistant started to walk down the aisle with cross in hand, the little boy, now four years older and his smaller brother in tow, walked up towards the altar to help carry the cross again to its final destination.Isaiah 11:6-the wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard

shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them. (NRSV)It was this action from their small hearts that meant so

much to all of us; two little children finally accepting our amalgamated congregation as their new home.No matter where we live or what congregation we attend,

there is hope for our future as we continue to serve one another and our community, confident in God, Who leads us, ever onward and forward to bring about His kingdom on earth.Prayer: Heavenly Father, You continue to surprise us

through deeds of the heart from the actions of children and individuals. Be with us on our individual journeys as we work together for the love of the world. Amen.Rosemary Hagedorn,Penetanguishene, Ontario, [email protected]

Speeding in School Zones(Clearview, Springwater Twp., Wasaga Beach) – Recently

members of the Huronia West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police have been receiving concerns about motor vehicles in our detachment area that seem to have a complete disregard for the safety of our school children. These motorists feel that the reduced speed in our school zones, are not meant for them. If a school zone is ½ a kilometre long, most are shorter and our motorist is going 50Km/h, 10 km/h over the posted speed limit of 40Km/h, the difference in time it takes to travel this distance at those speeds is 9 seconds. Is not the safety of our children worth 9 seconds?To help motorist remember to “slow down” in school

zones, OPP will be spending more time patrolling these roadways, stopping drivers who may feel their time is more important then the safety of our children.

Made in Canada Eh!When A Moose in A Maple Tree – The All-Canadian 12 Days of Christmas hits the shelves of bookstores across Canada in the coming weeks it will be one of the few Canadian children’s books on the market that is actually printed in Canada. “Yes it’s a lot cheaper to get books printed in China”

concedes the books author Troy Townsin “but I think it’s very important to support our local industries”. He adds,”I urge people to take a closer look at where the books they are buying are printed. I think they will be very surprised to fi nd that even books that claim to be specifi cally about Cana-da are usually printed abroad. With the struggling economy this trend is det-rimental to Canada as we need to keep jobs here”. His book is a unique Canadian adapta-

tion of the traditional 12 Days of Christ-mas song and it features Canadian ani-mals, icons and activities. Townsin, an Australian by birth moved

to Canada fi ve years ago, married a Ca-nadian and has written the book as a celebration of his upcoming Canadian citizenship. He is also a wine columnist for CBC radio and the author of several books on food and wine. My background is in children’s theatre”

explains Troy “and I although I’ve been having a lot of fun doing the food and wine books I’ve defi nitely missed work-ing with children so this gets me back at schools singing with the kids.”Partial proceeds from the sale of each

copy of A Moose in A Maple Tree are do-

Ontario Government Committed to Keeping Drivers Safe

Drivers who live in northern Ontario can now put on studded tires earlier and keep them on longer, providing motorists with more options to stay safe during severe or extended winter weather.Northern Ontario residents can now use studded tires

from Sept. 1 to May 31. Previously, studded tires were only allowed from Oct. 1 to April 30. The change is based on advice and recommendations from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).Studded tires can be used on vehicles that have an

ownership address in northern Ontario, which includes the districts of Algoma, Cochrane, Kenora, Manitoulin, Nipissing, Parry Sound, Rainy River, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, and Temiskaming. They can also be used on out-of-province vehicles travelling in Ontario for less than a month.Ensuring Ontario's roads and highways are safe is part of

the government's plan to invest in people, build modern infrastructure and support a dynamic and innovative business climate.

Dr. Rene Theophile Laenne invented the first stethoscope in 1816. He felt embarrassed if he had to listen to the heart beat of a young female patient by placing his ear directly on her chest, so he rolled

up 24 sheets of paper to make a tube and placed one end on her chest and the other end in his ear. By 1855 a stethoscope similar

to the one used during most of the 20th century became available.

Elmvale Fall Fair - On Stage Saturday afternoon

Elmvale Fall Fair - On Stage Friday Springwater News checks outLas Vegas

Building on over three generations of Leahy musicianship, Doug Leahy, together with his wife Jennifer and their children, are keeping those traditions alive through music, song, and dance. Doug, as a member of “Leahy” and Jennifer, having played music throughout her life, both understand the joy and exhilaration only music can provide. It is no wonder then that their children understand innately that music will be a huge part of their lives. Even the smallest children feel the music pulsing through their veins. They are drawn to it. They are passionate about it. It is this drive to create music that has lead Doug and Jennifer’s children to achieve so much, even at their young ages. Still all in elementary school, the children are accomplished multi-instrumentalists. Lead by Doug, live performances are filled with the

high-energy, infectious Celtic-based music people associate with the Leahy heritage. Fiddle, cello, French

accordion, singing, piano, and French-Canadian step-dancing all find a voice on stage. And the children, so in love with what they are doing, enamour audiences who don’t want the show to end. Having shared stages across North America with “Leahy”, their performances leave audiences in awe. This rare talent in children so young is an inspiration to other children and families alike, showing just what young people are capable of. The joy of music is meant for

all and Doug and his family are set on sharing that joy with each and every audience. Adele – age 12 – fiddle, piano, cello, dancing, singing Gregory – age 10 – fiddle, accordion, piano, dance,

singing Angus – age 9 – fiddle, piano, dancing, singing Cecilia – age 7 – fiddle, piano, dancing, singing Joseph – age 5 – fiddle, dancing, singing Evelyn – age 3 – dancing, singing
