Bradford West Gwillimbury was recently selected as the second international location — and the first in North America — for an FC Porto soccer school.

The announcement was made in Porto, Por-tugal Oct. 21 during the school’s media launch.

The Dragon Force Toronto Bradford soc-cer school will bring promising young soccer players from across the region into the com-munity to train with some of the world’s best coaches.

More than 120 boys and girls 18 years and younger have already registered to train at the school, which officially opens within the next few weeks.

Councillor Peter Ferragine represented BWG at the launch, welcoming the organiza-tion to Bradford. He shared features of our community that visitors to BWG will enjoy, also noting that the town hopes the school’s


Streetlights throughout Bradford West Gwillimbury are now being switched over to a more environmentally friendly alternative.

A recent partnership with Honeywell Lim-ited has prompted the town to replace all 2,600 HID streetlights with LED, reducing energy costs by up to $50,000 per year.

In late April, staff reported on an energy management proposal to retrofit streetlights, along with minor upgrades to mechanical equipment at BWG’s wastewater treatment plant.

Many of the fixtures that have been used to light the streets of BWG — high pressure sodium lights and some mercury vapour lights — are now at the end of their lifespan.

With the new LED lights in place, BWG will see a 199 tonne reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, which is equivalent to taking 67 medium vehicles off the road every year.

On Oct. 28, BWG staff and Honeywell held a public open house to educate residents

presence will be a benefit to local residents and business owners.

“This is a great opportunity to show off everything our town has to offer and

about what the change means for the com-munity.

“We are delighted to add BWG as another one of our clients within Simcoe County,” said Honeywell vice-president of energy and environmental solutions Luis Rodrigues.

“We pride ourselves in leadership across North America. The lighting here will be cleaner and safer for the environment. These LED alternatives are 60 per cent more energy efficient than HID lights.”

Mayor Rob Keffer shared in the excite-ment, saying Honeywell’s initiative is giving BWG a more reliable product that requires less maintenance.

Some of the other added perks to using LED lights are: they’re resistant to shock and vibration, use high-efficiency technology and do not emit UV rays.

As part of Honeywell’s initiative, BWG is also eligible for a $220,000 grant program through the Independent Electricity System Operator if all LED fixtures are in by next spring.

to strengthen athletics and tourism in our region,” Ferragine said.

Jorge Nuno de Lima Pinto da Costa, chair-person of FC Porto, expressed his pleasure

with the extension of the FC Porto name and training methods into Canada and par-ticularly into BWG, which has a strong Portu-guese community.

CHATS Community & Home Assistance to Seniors is one step closer to purchasing a new accessible van.

On Nov. 3, Bradford Tim Hortons owner Perry Thorton handed over a cheque for $10,500 to the organization – the amount raised through the Smile Cookie Campaign this past September.

After donating the proceeds from the community-driven campaign to Big Brothers Big Sisters in recent years, Thorton and his wife, Ruth, decided it was time to focus on seniors in BWG.

“We saw the CHATS vans driving around the community and we gave them a call,” Thorton said.

“We see what they do for Bradford and we wanted to commit our support to them.”

Thorton and his team have decided that the next four years of proceeds from the campaign will continue to go to CHATS to help them raise enough money to buy a new accessible van, which will cost upwards of $50,000.

The staff members at Tim Hortons have been phenomenal, CHATS development director Tim Jones said.

“They exceeded our $10,000 goal. We are truly fortunate that CHATS was chosen to be the recipient. It definitely puts a smile on all of our faces.”

The Smile Cookie Campaign began in 1996 to help raise funds for the Hamilton Children’s Hospital, but has since grown to become a major fundraising event for Tim Hortons.

Last year, the campaign raised $5.3 mil-lion across Canada and supported more than 350 local charities.


From Nov. 16 to 20, the BWG diversi-ty action group will be host Bradford’s first Holocaust Education Week, offering free events open to the public.

All events will take place at the BWG library.

On Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the Zima room, Andy Reti, a survivor of the Holocaust when he was a child, will speak about his experi-ences.

On Nov. 20 from noon to 3 p.m. in the library parking lot, the Tour for Humanity interactive bus will offer a unique experience for visitors. The bus will offer multiple shows throughout the day.

“Bradford is proud to host its first Holo-caust Education Week,” Councillor Raj Sand-hu said.

“Building awareness and education are key to ensuring this sad chapter in history never repeats itself. I look forward to listen-ing to Mr. Reti and experiencing the Tour for Humanity.”

The BWG diversity action group’s vision is to create a community that recognizes and values the uniqueness of each individual and their culture. Residents and community members are invited to join the action group in embracing and celebrating diversity in our town.

Future programming and events are in the midst of being planned, to recognize all forms of diversity and create an environment of inclusivity and acceptance.

To sign up for a show on the Tour for Humanity or for more information about joining the action group, email [email protected].

Have Liberals gone mad with power?as the provincial government gone mad with power?

What else but madness could

describe the Liberal regime’s approach to energy policy in Ontario over the past 12 years? In that span of time, we’ve seen the province’s coal-fired plants shut-tered, to give credit where credit is due, but have also seen rates rise from a flat 4.3 cents per kWh, when Premier Dalton McGuinty took office in 2003, to as much as 17.5 cents per kWh for on-peak usage as of Nov. 1, 2015. That’s an increase of more than 300 per cent.

Even taking into account the cheapest rate for those on time-of-use pricing, 8.3 cents per kWh during off-peak periods as of Nov. 1, we’re still talking about an increase in excess of 90 per cent over the past dozen years or so.

In summation, a single right (i.e. closing the coal-fired plants) does not atone for countless wrongs.

While her predecessor, McGuinty, shoulders much of the blame for the skyrocketing rates — not to even get into gas plant scandals and other examples of mismanagement on the energy file — Premier Kathleen Wynne appears to be dead set on writing her own chapter in the infamous saga of how the provincial Liber-als have handled, or rather mis-handled, virtually every aspect of Ontario’s electricity system.

Yes, in spite of public out-cry, criticism from pundits and concerns raised by experts, the province forged ahead and put the first 15 per cent of its electric-ity transmission and distribution company, Hydro One, on the market today to be bought by private investors. The initial pub-lic offering (IPO) is expected to consist of a minimum of 8.1 mil-lion shares priced at $20.50 each.

The IPO is but the first phase in a plan that will see the prov-ince gradually sell 60 per cent of the publicly owned utility, while retaining a stake of 40 per cent. The government’s hope is to generate $9 billion, although less than half of that figure, about $4 billion, would fund much-need-ed transit and transportation

infrastructure, while the remain-der would go toward Hydro One’s debt.

The NDP and the Progressive Conservatives have been vocal in their opposition to the scheme and say it can only lead to even higher prices for electricity con-sumers.

The most recent evidence to come out against the privatiza-tion plan came from the govern-ment’s new financial account-ability officer Stephen LeClair, who highlighted several points about the sale in his report last week. Among his findings is that, while the initial sale of 15 per cent of Hydro One will signifi-cantly reduce the deficit in 2015-16 — by between $2.4 billion and $3.9 billion — the province’s budget balance will, ultimately, “be worse than it would have been without the sale” in the years following the sale of 60 per cent of Hydro One. LeClair goes on to note that the province’s debt will initially decrease only to increase again in the years to come.

As it is, Hydro One has histori-cally been a revenue generator for the government, bringing in a predictable $750 million per year, yet Wynne is prepared to forgo $500 million of that on an annual basis (more as time goes on) for a relatively paltry, one-time sum of $4 billion to put toward a 10-year, $130-billion infrastructure plan. Talk about killing the golden goose.

Wynne’s response? She’ll read LeClair’s report, but the sale will proceed regardless.

So what can be done? Lobby your MPP for the reversal of today’s sale, one supposes, or at least try to convince the govern-ment to proceed no further.

If all else fails, the citizens of this province may well be advised to remember this episode and give power to a party that can wield it responsibly come the next election in three years.

Can’t let Liberals drive away best doctors

My doctor is a hard-working profes-sional who has helped me greatly as I entered my senior years. He is both car-ing and competent. He is also seriously considering leaving his role as a front-line provider to transfer into an institutional setting.

He is not alone. With unilateral cuts to doctors’ fees

continuing under the Liberal Kathleen Wynne government, the Ontario Medical Association has been forced to launch a Charter challenge to ensure reasonable and binding service agreements.

This is not greed. Family physicians, such as my doctor, have significant staff-ing and overhead costs. Unilateral cuts ignore these costs.

The government asserts that physi-cians are “well-paid”. Not in a time of ris-ing costs and shrinking income.

Ontario’s population is aging. Front-line medical care is critical. Let our gov-ernment not drive away the best and the brightest who serve us so well.

Rick DoustAurorA

Liberals making huge mistake with hydro sale

I am greatly disturbed that Premier Kathleen Wynne is taking steps to sell a stake in our Hydro One electric utility, despite the government’s own financial auditor stating the move will create a greater debt for Ontario.

This opinion has been stated by every financial expert on whom I’ve read on the long-term consequences.

I hope you will not blindly follow such “folly”. You need to convince others in the Liberal party not to support this.

This is a boondoggle that eclipses the selling of Hwy. 407, a plan the Liberal party was vehemently opposed to, at the time.

Our provincial debt has doubled over the past 10 years under your party with two credit downgrades and this sale will continue our downward economic spiral.

Short-term gain will mean long-term pain for the people of Ontario and their children.

This week, South Simcoe Police is encour-aging the public to help keep our communi-ties safe.

Crime Prevention Week is taking place until Nov. 7, highlighting programs such as Lock It or Lose It, D.A.R.E., Crimestoppers and R.I.D.E. in an effort to stop crime before it starts.

“Crime prevention is our No. 1 priority,” said Const. Rich Williamson.

“If we can get people to avoid being victims, we can reduce crime. The message we’re sending is, act locally to stop crime before it happens.”

Through public education programs, SSP are encouraging people to avoid victimiza-tion. Locking cars and removing valuables can drastically reduce theft from parked cars.

If you’re drinking, be smart and use a des-ignated driver. If you feel the need to call or text someone while driving, pull to the side of the road or wait until you are no longer

behind the wheel.“Enforcement is not enough,” explained

Williamson.“Our communities are some of the safest

in Ontario and that’s because we’ve engaged the community to work with us to prevent crime. We need people to think before they act. That means not drinking and driving, not texting and driving and asking others to do the same.”

The theme for this year’s provincial cam-paign is community safety and well-being – a shared commitment in Ontario.

Bradford traffic stop leads to drug charges

On Oct. 27, just after 2:15 p.m., an officer from the South Simcoe Police Canine Unit stopped a vehicle for speeding on Dissette Street in Bradford.

While the officer was speaking with the driver, he noted the smell of marihuana.

Bradford woman arrested after failed roadside test

During a R.I.D.E. program in Bradford on Oct. 31, South Simcoe Police observed a vehicle parked on the side of the road. The car was running for a while with the driver sitting behind the wheel and after further

investigation, officers noted a strong smell of alcohol coming from the driver.

The 27-year-old female from Bradford failed a roadside test and was arrested and her licence was suspended for three days.

She was later released from police cus-tody.

Patricia Ristich has been part of Bradford West Gwillimbury’s busi-ness scene for 12 years as the proud owner of Exhale Spa & Salon, along-side her son, Anthony Watson.

But what you may not know about her is she recently earned the title as an international hair judge, allowing her to attend com-petitions at any location around the world.

In September, Ristich travelled to Paris for one week to take part in a full day exam, which led to her receiving two diplomas and official designation as a juror — something not many people in the world have achieved.

Ristich says a total of 145 peo-ple from 35 countries took part in the exam, nine of which were from Canada. Two days after completing

it, she was given the good news that she passed.

“It’s an absolute honour. There are only three others in Ontario like myself,” Ristich said.

“The entire process was very exciting and a wonderful experi-ence.”

Ristich has been a national hair judge for the Judges Panel of Canada for more than 20 years and has trav-elled to just about every Canadian community you could think of.

“It’s a long process to get to where I am now, a lot of years of dedica-tion,” she explained.

“I’ve recently been invited to judge the world championships tak-ing place in Korea in March.”

With such a high honour now under her belt, Ristich says the hard work isn’t over just yet as she will be required to re-qualify as an interna-tional hair judge every two years.

very Nov. 11, we stop for a moment of silence to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and for those

who continue to do so.

But, there may be certain elements of the sym-bolic day that you’re not entirely familiar with.

Here is our Top 5 list of things you may not know about Remembrance Day:

1. It was originally known as Armistice Day: The day was intended to commemorate the Armistice of Compiègne, an agreement between the Allies and Germany. The name changed to Remem-brance Day in 1931.

E

Armistice Day was celebrated on the Monday of the week of Nov. 11, from 1919 to 1931. It all changed in 1931 when the same bill that renamed it to Remembrance Day, also fixed it on Nov. 11.

4. There’s more than just one kind of poppy:

TOP 5Remembrance Day facts you didn’t know2. The Armistice was signed earlier than 11 a.m.: The Armistice of Compiègne was actually signed on Nov. 11, 1918 at 5 a.m., but, according to the terms of the accord, peace didn’t come into effect until six hours later at, you guessed it ,11 a.m.

3. It hasn’t always been recognized on Nov. 11:

Here in Canada, we are familiar with our poppies being made of plastic. In the U.K., they are made out of paper. People in the U.K. also wear a purple poppy alongside the red, to commemorate the animal victims of war, which was developed by an animals rights group called Animal Aid.

5. There most certainly is a proper way to wear a poppy: The placement of a poppy is more impor-tant than you may think. According to the Royal Canadian Legion, the lapel poppy should always be worn on the left lapel, close to the heart. It shouldn’t be worn with any other pin, such as a Canadian flag. You should wear a poppy from the last Friday in October up until 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, then place it at your local cenotaph.

REMEMBRANCE DAY11.11.15

Lestweforget


A number of Remembrance Day celebrations will take place throughout Bradford West Gwil-limbury this week, inviting people of all ages to come out and honour those who have fought for our freedom.

Seniors are invited to the Brad-ford Legion on Nov. 5 with CHATS Community & Home Assistance for a Remembrance Service. It will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will include a marching of the colours, a two-minute moment of silence and the laying of a wreath by Sec-ond World War veteran Bert Hogg.

If you’re looking for a good meal, the Legion hosts a Remem-

brance Day dinner open to the public on Nov. 7 for $15. Veterans and spouses or widows of veterans eat for free. For more information about tickets, call the Legion at 905-775-5025.

On Nov. 8, come out and enjoy the annual Legion Remembrance Day parade, which will follow a route from Holland and Toronto streets to the Legion building at 115 Back St. A wreath laying cer-emony will also take place at the cenotaph, as well as a light lun-cheon. All members of the public are welcome to attend.

On Nov. 11, a full Remembrance Day ceremony will begin at 10:45 a.m. at the Bradford Legion. Mem-bers of the public are encouraged to attend.

You can honour our veteransFrancine Grenon along with Aidan and Alexis Bishop hold up signs during last year’s Bradford Remem-brance Day parade.

Remembrance Day


He can remember it like it was yesterday.Staring out at the Bay of Fundy as it slowly

drifted out of sight, Second World War vet-eran Bert Hogg heard the voice of a fellow recruit behind him say words that evoked silence.

“I wonder how many of us will see it again.”

Sitting comfortably at the Bradford Legion among friends, Hogg spoke to The Topic of his experiences as he’s done so many times before with family, friends and complete strangers.

He was just 16 when he was shipped overseas in 1939, against his mother’s wishes. Having signed up for the medical corps at only 15 during a time of peace, he never expected to travel outside of the country.

Things drastically changed when Cana-dian soldiers were called to assist in the war.

“I spent my 17th birthday in England,” Hogg said with a chuckle.

Though the decorated and very well-known veteran speaks fondly of his duty, which he served until mid-1945, it was admit-tedly a terrifying time in his life, as it was for so many others who found themselves in the heart of all the chaos.

“Laughter was truly the best medicine,” he said.

“It was what helped us keep sane.”Hogg’s first in-action experience at war

began in 1940 during the evacuation at Dunkirk in France, when he was sent to Crookham Crossroads in England, a small hospital where wounded soldiers were being taken care of.

In 1942, he was stationed in England dur-ing the Dieppe Raid where the British, Polish and Canadian forces surrounded the Ger-man-occupied port of Dieppe. Hogg says it was a terrible situation that saw more than 4,000 casualties – close to 3,500 being his fel-low Canadians.

“We were working around the clock; we were so busy,” he said.

“So many wounded soldiers. So many.”Eventually, Hogg moved to North Africa in

1943 to treat casualties in Algeria. Unfortu-nately, a malaria outbreak reached Hogg and numerous other medics and soldiers, requir-ing a long recovery process.

Thankfully, he made it through the disease

and returned for duty as a stretcher-bearer in Belgium, Italy and France.

When he returned home to Canada, he married the love of his life, Lillian Jennings – enjoying 63 years by one another’s side and raising two children before she passed away in 2008.

But as Hogg, who celebrated his 93rd birthday on Nov. 2, briefly spoke of each experience throughout his six-year duty, he touched on what Remembrance Day should really mean to every Canadian.

“I want people to remember what we went through to make this a safer place to live,” he said.

“Belgium, Holland and areas of Europe really appreciate what Canadians have done for their freedom. I want people to really look back and remember and to wear the poppy.”

Hogg, having lived longer than a major-ity of his fellow soldiers and medic friends,

says he has recently tried to connect with other veterans his age, but has had very little success.

A harsh reality has begun to sink in, as there is no longer a long list of people like Hogg to continue educating young minds from a first-person perspective.

For many years, Hogg has taken the time to speak at local schools with the hopes that children will remember his story and appreciate Remembrance Day just a little bit more.

“I always enjoy speaking to high school students. I hope they will remember what I’ve told them.”

Hogg will take part in a number of Remem-brance Day events, including a parade from Collings Avenue to the Legion at 115 Back St. in Bradford on Nov. 8 and the Nov. 11 cer-emony also taking place at the Legion, where he will lay the wreath at the cenotaph.

Laughter helped keep soldier sane through 6-year tour

or Eileen Ashley, caring for others was never a paying job.

It was her life-long call-ing that took her to different

corners of the earth.Eileen died earlier this year of a

heart attack. Today, Nov. 5, would have been her 72 birthday.

She will be remembered for how much she cared.

“I’m biased,” said her husband of 48 years, David Ashley.

“She helped so many people in so many places.”

Eileen’s journey of care started in the mid-1960s, when she enrolled in a nursing program at the University of Western Ontario in London.

Part of her nursing program saw the late Markham resident working as a social worker and in the local hospital’s psychiatric ward.

“Some say that was training for a marriage with me,” joked David.

Then came marriage in 1967, followed by children, Stephen and Emily.

David’s career as a chartered accountant with an international pharmaceutical company took him and the Ashley clan all over the world.

First it was to Indianapolis, where Eileen’s nursing diploma wasn’t rec-ognized south of the border. Instead of giving up, she decided to volun-

teer with hospice care at the local hospital.

Then the Ashley family moved to Brazil, where Eileen joined the Canadian Women’s Club, an organi-zation dedicated to raising funds for women living in slums.

She travelled to the slum areas to help local women with medical and

health issues.Then the family moved back to

Ontario, settling in Markham, where she got involved with Grace Anglican Church.

“She did the supporting role thing,” David said. “But she did it her way, the way she wanted to. Techni-cally, Eileen never worked in a hospi-

tal. But she still helped people.”Eileen helped start the parish

nurse program, where she educated the congregation on health issues, helped those with health challeng-es and visited shut-ins, said retired priest John Read.

Through the church, Eileen fos-tered her two passions – a love of

helping people and a love of music. Eileen joined the church choir

and had been a member of the choir for 25 years before her death.

“She knew leading of the worship in song was a critical role in parish life and celebration,” Read said. “It made a difference in making Grace Church a joyful place to celebrate.”

In 2000, the Ashley couple was on the move again, this time to Egypt.

Again, she put her nursing degree to good use. She volunteered with the Primate’s World Relief and Devel-opment Fund in Cairo, an organiza-tion dedicated to helping Sudanese refugees suffering from tuberculosis.

“These were acts of grace in very challenging circumstances,” Read said. “It was, as always, a ministry of care.”

But when patients didn’t come into the basement clinic for their regular medication, together with a driver and a translator, Eileen went in search of them.

“Here she was, this Christian lady going out in a Muslim environment helping others, getting them to take their medicine,” David said.

On Sunday, Grace Anglican Church will showcase the new choir gowns dedicated in Eileen’s name.

“It’s one of those strange things of sadness and joy mixed together,” David said.

“I hope I don’t cry. I might, but that’s OK. It’s a moment of such great pride.”

Eileen Ashley enjoys a beautiful sunset on the lake at the family cottage.

“Adored by children, universally respected and an inspiration to her peers, Mrs. McCluskey was a tireless volunteer, quick to defl ect the praise heaped on her.”

WATSON, Patricia Mary (nee Claydon)In her 92nd year, Pat Watson passed away peacefully on October 30, 2015 at Southlake Village, Newmarket Ontario. She spent her last six years in their kind and gentle care, for which her family is so very grateful.

Born in 1924, Pat grew up on the banks of the Red River in St. Vital, Manitoba. She loved Home Economics, was a beautiful and competitive swimmer, and became a VAD nurse after high school. Early in WWII, she met John, an RAF Flight Instructor sent to Canada through the Commonwealth Air Training plan. She married him in

England in 1945 and they settled in Winnipeg in 1947. Their marriage was in its 60th year when John passed away in 2004. After six children and a couple of busy decades, much of it spent sewing for her family and becoming a wonderful cook and hostess, Pat found time to pursue her love of swimming, needlework, wheat weaving, stained glass and quilting, among other interests. Her happiest times were those shared with family and many dear friends. Her legacy lies in many homes graced with gifts of her making, the creativity of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, their tender hearts and love of nature, and in how much she is loved and respected.Our Mum was predeceased by her parents Audrey (Tyrrell) and Ernest Claydon, brother Rowland and sister Judith Robertson, and daughter Barbara Patricia. She is survived by her children Sheila & Mike Barta (Jude and Marilyn), Catherine & Donald Vincent (Scott, Gillian & Andrew), Michael & Janet Watson(Christopher, Chelsea, Allison, & Sara), Liz Watson(Devin), Barbara’s son Ben Tallin, Jennifer & Mike Sorobey (Katie, Owen & Nolan), and her great-grandchildren; Adam, Russel and Natalie Carriere, Scott, Mitchell and Cailin Turner, Logan and Isla Joynt and James Vincent. Pat was the best daughter, wife, Mother, friend and churchwoman and will be cherished always. A celebration of Pat’s life will take place in the chapel at Trinity Anglican Church at 79 Victoria St., Aurora Ont. on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. Gifts honouring her memory might be sent to Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation or Alzheimer Society of Canada or Arthritis Society.

You never said “I’m leaving”,you never said “Goodbye”.

You were gone before we knew it and only you know why.

A million times we have needed you,a million times we have cried.

If love alone could have saved you,You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,in death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a place,that no one could ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,but you didn’t go alone.

For part of us went with you,the day you went home.

One year without you, Randy,We miss you more and more with each passing day.Forever in our hearts and always on our minds,Love you always,

Randy, it is so difficult to accept that one full year has passed since we last saw you.We think of you when we open our eyes each day, and when we close them each night, along with each moment in between.We missed sharing the excitement with you of welcoming two new babies to our family this spring.We remembered you with heavy hearts on your 21st birthday.We try to smile each day at a happy memory of you, but the sorrow we feel is always just below the surface, life is just not the same without you here.We are grateful for the gift that is you and we take solace in knowing that your spirit and memory will live forever in our hearts.

Love you, buddyMom and Dad xoxoxo
