helPinG kids understand Why tottenham is Great – Chris Ross, Ward 8 Councillor for the Town of New Tecumseth and a consultant
with Investors Group, proudly sponsored the Tottenham Steam home game and visit to Tottenham Public School last week. Through Ross’ contribution, students at TPS were able to meet with Jr. ‘A’ hockey players, listen to their personal stories and get autographs signed. It was a great experience
for students who got to hear why these world-class athletes chose Tottenham to further their hockey careers. Ross was also on hand at the opening
ceremonies Saturday night at the Tottenham Community & Fitness Centre – home ice for the Steam – to listen to members of the TPS Choir sing the
Canadian national anthem and to drop the puck.

Trail completion important to residents
Dear editor:
It was very encouraging to
observe the council on Monday, January 19th, decide
to continue to develop the
Trans Canada Trail through
the town.
In the spring of 2014,
council passed a motion and
committed to developing the
trail through the town.
It was very disappointing
to see that not one foot of
trail was constructed the rest
of that year.
There are two significant
issues that make the process
difficult: WD Potato and
the bison farm. Reasonable
people, with a reasonable
amount of goodwill on both
sides, should be able to resolve these issues.
The concerns expressed by
Dear editor:
Prime Minister Stephen
Harper likes to portray the
showcase Canada’s North
as a big empty place that
we need to protect, but this
place is filled with people
who lived here for millennia—and whose voices are
not being heard in Ottawa.
To connect with Northerners, this winter I traveled to
the Northwest Territories
and Nunavut with my eldest
son Xavier, like my father
did with me thirty years ago.
I wanted to experience the
very real challenges Northerners face on a day-to-day
basis and see for myself the
Dear editor:
Once again, the Board of Directors, employees and most importantly the families
supported by My Sister’s Place would like
to take this opportunity to thank our community of donors for the unwavering and
overwhelming dedication this holiday season. Our call for help was met by individuals, families, businesses, social services and
sports groups without fail. As a result of your
generous response, we were able to supply
food, presents and gift cards to over 116 families who turned to us for help.
We would like to acknowledge the hard
work of Amanda Smug and The Alliston
Herald staff for making the ‘Family Sponsorship’ administration process so streamlined
and so much easier to distribute. We appreciate all of your help. We would also like to
acknowledge the wonderful fundraising the
community did on their own to provide for
our shelter and the families that we support.
A thank you may not ever be enough, so
we leave you with this gift of perspective.
Your support gave women the opportunity to
provide a Christmas for themselves and their
children that was not filled with violence and
abuse, but rather with full bellies, joy from
opening and watching their children open
presents and the independence to make their
own choices with gift cards. This Christmas
and year round, your donations matter and
they inspire hope.
It is our pleasure to continue to offer our
much needed services to the South Simcoe
County communities. Please visit our website for more information about My Sisters
Place at www.mysistersplace.ca and ‘Like’

Just a reminder that hospitals in Canada use roughly
17,000 units of blood every
week so we must collect
that, and then some, to ensure there is always blood
available for those that need
it.

other 2000 miles of trail, not

It is possible that some
councillors may have never been on the trail. They
wouldn’t know why we are
so passionate about it.
The trail crosses Hwy. 89
just west of Hwy. 27. There
is lots of parking in the area.
Dear editor:
We had a very poor turnout
at our December clinic at the
Tottenham Community Centre, coming away with only
58 units of blood (our target
was 77). As a result, appointment bookings remain low
for this February clinic. We
have approximately 40 open
appointments.
We understand that life
gets busy, but it is our
hope that donors will re-
member what caused them
to book an appointment in
December in the first place
and continue to share their
vitality by rolling up their
sleeves to save the life of a
hospital patient in need.
On the plus side, our clinic
on Saturday, January 10th
over-collected by 10 units,
and we came away with 53
units of blood (on a target of
43) and we’d like to thank all
those Life-Savers who came
ter than most that problems
aren’t solved by pointing
fingers and highlighting differences. They are solved by
people working together.
The North needs a partner in Ottawa to invest in
their people, infrastructure
and research in order to ensure this growth is realized.
Indigenous peoples and all
Northerners support responsible development, but also
know that it needs to be done
right—and that’s where
most Canadians are too.
Unlike the past, we all now
recognize that major developments need social license
and environmental responsibility. Consultation and partnership, particularly with Indigenous people, must be at
the centre of any plans.
In the North, the cost of
many basic goods is staggering, compared to the South.
I had honest conversations
with folks at the Qayuqtuvik Society soup kitchen in
Iqaluit about the reality facing many Northerners who
cannot access basic necessities. The failure of the federal government’s Nutrition
North Program to make nutritional food more accessible in these communities is
simply unacceptable. It must
be rebuilt.
As a Southerner, the first
time you come to the North
you’re impressed with the
weather, the land and the
sheer scale. But more than
that, you will be impressed
by the people: their warmth,
their strength and their resilience. That spirit was
embodied in the Inuvik Sunrise Festival that Xav and I
attended, which celebrates
the return of sunrise after 30
days of mid-winter darkness.
Sovereignty in the North
doesn’t just come from defence spending and coast
guard ships, it comes
through the Canadians who
live here, and who have always been here.

Leader of the Liberal
Party of Canada

Slow down and help
Dear editor:
I usually write about wildlife. However on January 3rd, when
my son and I were en route to Burlington, when something happened that horrified us to no end. Whatever happened to human
compassion? We sat at the lights as we were waiting to make
a left onto the 400 southbound ramp on Mapleview. I spotted
a beautiful golden lab standing on the hill coming out of the
Walmart plaza area. Confused, no collar. Looking towards the
400. Then my biggest fear, it ran. Weaving in and out of traffic
towards the 400 off ramp full of cars. I couldn’t get out as the
light was green for ongoing traffic, so much traffic. I watched
in horror. The dog ran in front of cars, weaving in and out. Did
anyone get out? No. They swerved around it, honked their horns
at it, confused it even more. It was so scared, lost and in trouble.
I was livid. Three lanes of traffic on that off ramp and not one
person could help. As we got around the corner we pulled over
safely as I wanted to try to help that dog. By that time, somebody
finally had stopped and a few people were out of their cars. But
no dog in sight. Not enough people and not fast enough. Are we
all in that much of a hurry you can just pass a life by who is in
desperate need of help. A life terrified, lost and confused. Guess
what people, if that dog made it to the 400 and you were on it,
it could have been your life too. This was a serious emergency
waiting to happen for more than that poor dog and all people
could do is honk at it and swerve around it almost hitting it. I
have seen some horrible things involving people and wildlife,
but this beats them all.
This was not a safe position for us to be in when we turned
and pulled over on the ramp, people speeding by like we weren’t
there. I got back to the car. We noticed an OPP car was at the end
of the ramp by the highway so we headed for him. But another
car beat us there with the same thing in mind. That OPP car sped
off immediately, but had to go a ways to get turned around. A
caring person finally came forth and whoever they were, thank
you.
We continued on with nothing we could do from our point. We
saw two people stopping cars as we pulled away, obviously looking for that gorgeous dog. They looked frantic. They started running up the off ramp. Cars just continued on. Heaven forbid. As
we got a little further along the highway the OPP car with lights
flashing went barreling down the highway towards the scene
north bound. Then another. We heard on Rock 95 that something
was amiss on the 400 south bound but they had no more details.
Never heard anything more. I can only hope the outcome was a
good one for all. I have never felt so helpless towards an animal
in need. Wrong place at the wrong time for me. I have never ever
felt so outraged at the behavior of my fellow man.
A big thank you to all of those people who finally did try to
help and to the police that responded so quickly.
To the owners of that dog. I hope and pray for you and your
dog that you got reunited safely. As a pet owner I know we do
the best to protect our precious four legged family members. But
I also know things can happen so very quickly.

Wilson reminds motorists to move
over for emergency vehicles
Simcoe-Grey MPP Jim
Wilson wants to increase
public awareness of the
“Move Over” campaign
launched by the Ontario
Provincial Police Association (OPPA) last month. The
campaign focuses on the human cost associated with vehicles failing to slow down
or move over for stopped
emergency vehicles.
“It’s crucial that motorists
realize that they must move
over when approaching an
emergency vehicle that is
stopped,” said Wilson. “It’s
worrisome for me to hear
from the OPPA that after
more than ten years many
motorists are still unaware
of this law that not only
protects emergency service
workers, but the public as
well.”
According to the OPPA,
five members of their Association have been killed
in roadside accidents since
1989. Last winter many
people were hurt and dozens
of OPP cruisers were either
damaged or destroyed after being struck by passing
motorists. The OPPA has
produced two three minute
videos to show the human
cost of failing to slow down
and move over for stopped
emergency vehicles. Wilson
has the videos posted on
his website at www.jimwilsonmpp.com
Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act stipulates as per the
Ministry of Transportation
website that when approaching a police, fire or ambu-
lance vehicle stopped with
its red lights flashing in the
same direction of travel, either in a lane or on the shoulder of the road, to slow down
and pass with caution. If the
road has two or more lanes
the motorist must move over
into another lane, if it can be
done safely.
“I would like to take this
opportunity to thank the
policing community for
the work they do every day
to keep our communities
safe,” continued Wilson.
“Emergency service workers devote their lives to our
well-being. This is the least
we can do in the interest of
public safety.”

Celebrate
Family Literacy Day
This year Honda, The Circle Theatre, New Tecumseth
Public Library and Next Step are teaming up to offer a contest for both kids and adults:” Which was better: the book
or the movie?”
From Harry Potter to Gone Girl, The Hobbit to Still Alice, Hollywood loves a good story. But do they do the story
justice?
We can accept that you can’t fit a whole book into a
90-minute feature film, but do they leave out more than
they tell? Do they change the ending? Do the characters
look the way they are “supposed to”?
Perhaps the movie images add real power to the narrative. The pacing of the movie might be far more effective
than the book that gets dragged down in details. The movie
might give you “just enough” delivered in a spectacular
fashion.
Whatever your reaction to the book/movie question, we
want to hear about it! Submissions need to grab our attention and convince us that you really know your stuff. Don’t
be afraid to include details from the book and the movie.
Deadline for submissions is January 30th, 2015. Send
your answers to: [email protected] or drop them off
at The Circle Theatre, Next Step or any branch of the New
Tecumseth library. Remember to include your name, grade
and a way to contact you (phone or e-mail). There will also
be a prize for an adult submission. Prizes are generously
donated by Honda, The Circle Theatre and NTPL.

the FaMiLy MaRket WOWS aGain – A group of representatives serving several local not-for-profit organizations were
gathered together at the Church of the Evangelists (Tottenham) for a cheque presentation last Thursday evening. Proceeds
of the Family Market (a secondhand store that sells gently used clothing and coats from the basement of the church) were
distributed to the groups by Cheryl Ritchie, Family Market representative. The Family Market has been serving the community
in many ways – volunteer opportunities, distribution of perfectly good clothing, distribution of proceeds – for many years. The
Market itself is open on Saturday mornings. Organizations such as Matthews House Hospice, Stevenson Memorial Hospital,
My Sister’s Place, Our Town Food Bank, and breakfast programs at local schools (to name a few) benefited from this latest donation. Pictured, back row (left to right): Gary Brown, Marc Chantler, Phil Apperly. Second Row: Cheryl Ritchie, Shelia Jaynes,

Don’s Heating and Cooling – feel the warmth!
PHOTOS BY WENDY GABREK
Don Roper, owner of ‘Don’s Heating & Cooling’ is proud to open his second location in Alliston
(beside Canadian Tire). He opened his flagship store in Orangeville 25 years ago, and has
been working in the heating and cooling industry for 38 years.
BY WENDY GABREK
Baby it’s cold out there,
but it’s nice and warm at
Don’s Heating and Cooling
in Alliston.
Alliston’s newest business, owned by Don Roper,
is located beside Canadian
Tire and has everything you
could ever dream of to make
your house feel like a home
– from top of the line barbecues and smokers to patio
heaters, plus central vacuum
systems, fireplaces (gas,
wood burning and electric),
furnaces and air conditioners.
This is a second location
for Don’s, with the original
location open in Orangeville
for more than 25 years.
“We decided to open a
second location in Alliston
because we already had a
client base here and I love
this town,” Roper told The
Times. “It reminds me of
Orangeville 30 years ago.”
Roper held a soft opening
last Saturday with a ribbon
cutting marked by the presence of town officials, but
he will celebrate his official
grand opening this Saturday,
January 31st from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. and welcomes the
public to stop by.
“We have lots going on
this weekend, it’s going
to be really exciting,” said
Roper. “88.5 The Jewel will
be broadcasting live from
our location and we have
prizes and draws planned.
We’re also offering no HST
on all products and will be
hosting live demos using
our barbecues and smokers.
Have you ever seen cinnamon buns and cookies baked
on an outdoor smoker (The
Green Egg)? Well you will if
you stop by this Saturday!”
Don’s Heating and Cooling offers 24/7 service to
its clients and maintains the
following showroom hours:
Monday – Thursday 10 a.m.
to 6 p.m.; Friday 10 a.m. to 8
p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to
2 p.m.
“I’m really proud of what
we have here,” said Roper.
“Our showroom features
16 different fireplaces and I
think people will be really
surprised to see that we’re
much more than heating and
cooling once they stop by.”
Don uses only trained
technicians (no subcontractors) and sells top-of-the-line
products, many that come
with a lifetime warranty.
Find out more about Don’s
by vistting www.donsheatingandcooling.com or call the
Alliston location at 705 4355005.
Visit Don’s Heating and
Cooling in Alliston and feel
the warmth!
Don Roper and his children, Vanessa (far left) and son Terry (far right) help a ribbon cutting
ceremony at the Alliston location on Saturday, January 24th. The event was attended by New

The Alliston Junior C Hornets host the Huntsville Otters at the New Tecumseth Recreation
Centre on Friday, January 23. The Hornets left with an 8–4 win with the regular season winding down to the last few games.
BY BRIAN LOCKHART
The Alliston Hornets
claimed the Georgian Mid
Ontario Hockey Junior C
Hockey League title with an
8–4 win over Huntsville on
Friday (Jan. 23) night in Alliston.
With two games left on
the regular season schedule,
the Hornets added two more
points to bring their season
total to 63 after Friday’s win.
The second place Stayner
Sisksins came close to challenging for the lead, but even
if the Hornets lose their remaining games, which is
highly unlikely, and the Siskins win their final three and
tie the points total, the Hornets have clinched the title
on won games.
The Alliston squad has
come out on the plus side 31
times compared to Stayner
who have won 26 games but
picked up the extra points
on overtime and Shoot-out
losses.
“It’s a great feeling,”
Said Hornets forward Nic
Archibald who notched a
hattrick in Friday’s game.
“We’re excited. That was
our goal right from the beginning so it was nice to get
it done. We’re ready to go to
the playoffs.”
The squad came up short
the previous night when they
travelled to Stayner and took
a 4–3 loss to the Siskins.
“It was a tough game. We
played well in the fist two periods and then just couldn’t
get it done in the third. They
wanted to win for sure,” Archibald said.
The return to Alliston for
Friday’s game against the
Huntsville Otters saw a penalty filled match with the
Hornets fighting off a fiveon-three several times during the game and taking 38
minutes in penalties.
There was a total of eight
powerplay goals in the game
– five from Alliston and three
from the Stayner squad.
After the first period the
Hornets had control of the
game scoring four times on
goals from Matt Hamilton,
Mark O’Donnell, Payton
Dunlop, and Matt Taylor.
The Otters responded in
the second frame with three
goals - two on powerplays
to make it a 5–3 game going
into the third period.
The Huntsville squad challenged with a goal a 9:41
into period, but an Alliston
response shut them down
with three more goals to end
the game and seal the championship for the 2014/15
season.
“We came out flying,” Archibald said after Friday’s
game. “We knew that after that loss (to Stayner) to
clinch first we had to come
out hard because we knew
they were going to put in a
good effort. It was nice to
come out strong and get that
four goal lead.”
The Hornets gained one
more point on Sunday afternoon after taking a 6–5
shoot-out loss to the Fergus
Devils.
The Devils fought back
from a 4–2 deficit at the end
of the second period and
scored four in the third including the tying goal with
25 seconds left on the clock
when they put six attackers
on the ice.
With the final games of
the regular season scheduled
being played this weekend,
there are still some tight battles going into the playoffs.
The Midland Flyers won’t
make the playoffs after finishing in the basement.
The Penetang Kings and
the Huntsville Otter are separated by a single point with
45 and 44 respectively.
The Caledon Golden
Hawks are leading with a
single point over the fifth
place Schomberg Cougars.
The Erin Shamrocks and
Orillia Terriers are battling
for the last playoff berth
with Erin leading with a single point.
The Hornets will be back
on home ice Friday, January
30, to host the Stayner Siskins. Game time is 7:30 pm.

The Tottenham Steam
notched four more points
over the past week after
winning on the road in Orangeville, then posting a second ‘W’ on home ice at the
Tottenham Community Centre arena on Saturday night.
The road game in Orangeville ended 7–1 for the
Steam after they played two
periods scoring five unanswered goals before returning for the final 20 minutes
to finish it off.
The O-ville squad finally
broke the shut-out late in
the third period with a single
goal.
The return to Tottenham
on Saturday (Jan. 24) pitted
the Steam against the visiting Bradford Bulls.
The Bulls opened the scoring midway in the first period with the Steam responding with two goals from
Braden Kavaratzis to tie it up
then get the go ahead going.
Two more Steam goals in
the second frame from Ferdinando Coiella and Liam
Sweeney gave the Tottenham team a 4–2 advantage
going into the third period.
The Steam left with the
6–2 win after notching two
more from Brandon Gaudette and Yoren De Smet in
the final period.
It should be noted the
game didn’t have a single
powerplay with no penalties
assessed against either team
for the entire 60 minutes of
play.
With two weeks of hockey
left on the regular season
schedule the Steam are in
first place in the League
with 64 points after losing
only four games all season
while leaving the ice with 32
games on the plus side.
The Toronto Attack are in
the number two spot - close
behind with 62 points.
In the North Division the
Seguin Huskies are also in
the running holding on to
first place in that division
with 60 points followed by
the Temiscaming Titans in
the number two spot with 57
points and the South Muskoka Shield close behind
with 56 points.
The Steam will be back on
home ice this Saturday, January 31, when they host the
South Muskoka Shield.

bY WEnDY GabREk
The Town of New Tecumseth will be posting multiple
signs around the municipality reminding residents and visitors that smoking is not permitted on playgrounds, sporting
areas or restaurant patios.
The signage is in accordance with Smoke–Free Ontario
Act regulations that took effect on January 1st, 2015.
The signs have already been received by the town and
will be posted shortly.
Policing of the new regulations will be the responsibility of bylaw enforcement and the Nottawasaga OPP, on a
complaint basis.
Set fines for smoking in any of the prohibited areas are
$250, plus a victim surcharge fee.
Town looking to host
55+ Winter Games
PhOTO bY WEnDY GabREk
WhaT’S haPPEnInG aT ThE TbDCC – The Tottenham–Beeton & District Chamber of Commerce held its first meeting since
the election of the new board on Wednesday, January 21st. The meeting was well attended with directors reaching a quorum.
Guest speaker for the evening was Lisa Morrison of Renew New Tecumseth. TBDCC directors accomplished new business,
including setting a date for the first of four Chamber ‘Power Hours’ (Thursday, March 26th, 6:30–7:30 p.m.). This event is open
to Chamber members, and interested members of the community. The Chamber will also partner with the Beeton Legion
(Randy Crumbie) to host Family Day activities in the Beeton Park (day-long Snow Ball Tourney and family skating/activities)
to raise funds for a wheelchair accessible washroom at the Legion.
bY WEnDY GabREk
Councillors with the Town of New Tecumseth are interested in hosting the 2017 Ontario 55+ Winter Games.
A letter of intent was submitted by the January 23rd
deadline by Parks, Recreation and Culture staff, which is
likely to be followed by a bid submission by the February
27th deadline.
Despite a 5-week deadline to complete the application
process, council voted to move forward with the bid, after learning the Games could potentially bring $1.4 million
through the Ministry of Tourism and Sport into the community. The two-day event would see a number of athletes,
coaches and officials flood the town, which could be good
for New Tecumseth, although likely overwhelming for
PR&C staff, who are overloaded and under new management.
Ward 3 councillor JJ Paul Whiteside and Ward 2 councillor Michael Beattie moved and seconded the motion to go
forward with the bidding application process. Ward 1 councillor Marc Biss and Ward 8 councillor Chris Ross voted
against it.

Curves suPPorts sMhF – Curves Tottenham recently donated the proceeds from its 2nd Annual Fire Fighters Challenge to Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation (SMHF). The popular event, which challenged three fire fighters from each of the three New Tecumseth fire stations to complete as many reps as they could at
each Curves station, raised $1050. Fire station #1 Alliston was victorious in 2014 and fire station #3 Tottenham took the title in 2013. Accepting from the SMHF board
was Glenn Rae, president, and Ken Burns, director. Angelica Khan (far left) and Darci Lovegrove (far right) were happy to hand over the money to this worthwhile

House concerts start Feb. 6th
By Wendy GaBrek
The second set of three house concerts,
hosted by Carrie and Chris Turman, starts
again next Friday night.
The line up for winter 2015 is:
• Friday, Feb. 6th: Nathan Rogers, MB
• Saturday, Mar. 7th: Christine Campbell
• Sunday, Apr. 12th: Sheesham & Lotus
Nathan Rogers: Some say he was born into
it, some that he was born with it, while others
claim he has earned it. With one foot planted
firmly in folk music’s traditional roots and
the other reaching into its dynamic future,
Nathan Rogers isn’t entirely sure what ‘it’ is;
singer, songwriter, guitarist, throat-chanter,
percussionist, revivalist, or innovator.
Before he even had an album in hand, Nathan’s reputed vocal ability had him singing
on stage with such notables as JP Cormier,
The Oysterband, Spirit of the West, John
Cameron, Connie Caldor and James Keelaghan. With a degree in comparative re-
ligion, an award winning voice and two
prized Laskin guitars under his belt, Nathan
founded his own record label, Halfway Cove
Music. In 2005 he finally released his debut
album, True Stories.
Nathan’s performance style leaves the
audiences wondering where the rest of the
band is hiding. Singing, chanting, playing
the guitar and stomping, he fills any stage
with “magnificent powerfully clear lyrics
and arrangements.”
Nathan has recently become an adept
throat singer, specializing in the Tuvan and
PHotos By Wendy GaBrek
roundtaBle discussion covers a lot oF Ground – Simcoe–Grey MP Dr. Kellie Leitch held a roundtable pre-budget discussion
at the Alliston branch of the New Tecumseth Public Library last Friday. Topics covered by Leitch included: Job Creation (how?, grants, leaning opportunities and security); Family Credits (fitness credit doubling, Universal Child Care changes, new Arts Credit); Public Safety (global,
national, provincial, changes to passport screening); Legal age in Canada to marry (currently 7 years old, to be changed to 16); Immigration
(new guidelines and regulations including removal of facial coverings in certain circumstances); Public Safety (for small businesses, education, resources for prevention measures); Barbaric Crimes (things that will no longer be tolerated including forced marriage and mercy killings).
Leitch is offering another roundtable discussion in Alliston on Maternal and Child Health soon. To register e-mail [email protected]

Mongolian styles. A cultural tour-de-force in
his own right, Nathan now brings a uniquely
eastern flavour to a western tradition. Nathan’s new album, The Gauntlet is available
on Borealis Records and has met with very
positive critical reviews thus far.
For more information visit www.nathanrogers.ca
“If you’ve listened to Canadian folk music
in the past then you’ve heard Stan Rogers
(Nathan’s father),” said Chris Turman. “To
me he’s the legendary down-east balladeer
(he has a folk music festival named after him
in NS) but in fact he was an Ontario native
and chronicled many other Canadian folk
stories besides seafaring ones. Anyways,
he had a very distinctive baritone voice and
colourful Canadian songwriting style – immediately recognizable even though I never
heard him live (he died at the early age of
33). Now we just so happened to be at the
Owen Sound folk music festival a few years
ago moving from one of the many musical
stages through the eating section of the park
and we hear, in the distance but definitely
live, that unmistakable sound of Stan Rogers’ voice! At the time I didn’t know much
about him personally except that he had been
dead for many years. So we wander towards
the sound and who do we see – Stan Rogers’ son Nathan improvising on stage with
another performer!
“I remembered then about the rest of Stan
Rogers’ musical family (brother, son, etc)
and we stayed for the entire set to soak in the
thoroughly enjoyable experience. You can
imagine how thrilled I was to hear that he’s
coming to perform in our home!”
The concerts take place at 6 Rodcliffe
Road in Tottenham. For more information on
the House Concert series call Chris or Carrie
Turman at 416 523-9686. Donations for the
musicians at the door.

Adult Day Program and Therapy Dogs team up for success
PhoTo By WenDy GABrek
VolunTeers helPinG VolunTeers – Kathy Flemming (left) and Lynn Potts (right), of
St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs, present Lori Waring (centre), program coordinator for the
VON Adult Day Program at Beeton Manor, with a cheque for $150 last week. The money was
raised in lieu of a gift exchange at the Therapy Dogs (New Tecumseth) holiday party in 2014.
Therapy Dogs members decided to donate the money to VON because “it was a great local
cause” and they understood the funding needs of the organization.
By WenDy GABrek
Two local organizations
are coming together to
spread the word about caring for members of our community in a non-judgemental
way.
St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs and VON Adult
Day Program (Simcoe Manor, Beeton) are looking to
spread the word about their
respective programs:
VON Adult Day Care:
The VON Adult Day Program, run from the Simcoe
Manor in Beeton, started
in 2002 and helps isolated
seniors in the community
as well as residents of local
retirement homes and long
term care facilities. For $18
a day (including lunch), seniors can spend their time
baking, cooking, doing
crafts, getting physical exercise, socializing and even
meeting with Therapy Dogs.
The program accommodates 25 members (usually
14–20 attend daily) and runs
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mon-
day to Friday.
Referrals to the program
can come through CCAC or
by calling 905 729-0700.
The Adult Day Program
is run by professionals with
mixed backgrounds, and seniors (65+) usually arrive to
the program via Red Cross
volunteers, through CHATS
or are dropped off by family
members.
A wide array of individuals are attracted to the program, and the average age
of participants is 70-80 (al-
though no one will be turned
away).
The program is supported
by the North Simcoe Muskoka Local Health Integration Network (Ministry of
Health) and by donations,
such as the one from St. John
Ambulance Therapy Dogs
last week, in the amount of
$150.
Speaking of Therapy
Dogs...volunteers and their
dogs come to the VON program in Beeton twice a week
to support the program, and
visit with residents.
St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs meet a strict criteria and are in demand.
To become a Therapy
Dog, your canine friend
must: provide proof of annual health checks, be properly
groomed, and meet other
regulations.
Dogs can be referred to the
program by calling the Barrie office at 705 726-0991.
Once an interest is received,
there is an orientation session, where possible participants would lean about St.
John Ambulance. Then there
is a paperwork process (including a police check and
presentation of health certificates). “What to expect”
from the program is also explained.
Dogs and their handlers
(or “the person at the end
of the leash”, as Therapy
Dogs volunteers often joke)
must pass an initial consultation and then are tested for
suitability to the program.
Testing includes a “loose
leash” test, testing for easy
scares and ensuring the dog
is “good around people” and
objects, such as wheelchairs.
Once accepted into the
program, Therapy Dogs and
their volunteer parents will
go out into the community,
visiting with anyone who
could benefit from pet-touch
therapy.
Dogs of any size – from 2
lbs. to 200 lbs. can take part
in the program – so long as
their owners understand the
commitment, which is usually one hour per week.
Currently, Therapy Dogs
are visiting residents at Simcoe Manor, Good Samaritan,
Riverwood, CLASS, Kingsmere and local schools.
New dogs are currently
being sought.
“We need new members –
people and their dogs,” said
St. John Ambulance coordinator Lynn Potts. “We’re
looking for people who want
to give back to their community and are able to commit
to a weekly, or biweekly experience.”
The interactive and nonjudgemental
experience
Therapy Dogs provides fits
perfectly with the VON
Adult Day program needs.
They visit in Beeton twice a
month.
“You are never too old to
make new friends,” said Lori
Waring, Program Coordinator, VON Simcoe County,
Beeton Adult Day Program,
“and this program is so important because it provides
piece of mind for their families as well as some well deserved respite for their loved
ones.”
Both St. John Ambulance
Therapy Dogs and VON are
always looking for volunteers.
“Our volunteers come to
socialize with our members
or provide entertainment.
We have some people who
come and share their talents
with us whether it be musical or anything for that mater. They would just need to
contact myself,” said Waring.
Both organizations can
benefit from your time – and
petting your dog – if you
have some to give. Consider
volunteering or supporting
either organization if you’re
able.
