Council held its first regular meeting of 2014 on Jan. 8. Deputy Mayor Norm Jack and Councillor Dennis Evans were not present. DELEGATION Council is likely to be caught in between two disputing neighbours in an upcoming drainage works application, said Tom Pridham of RJ Burnside. Owner Lopes Bros. Contracting is seeking an outlet for tiling planned for the property. A previous open drain which continued into the neighbouring property owned by Mr. Giovanni Vono Jr. has since been filled back in, leaving 120 m of open drain in the Lopes property sitting full of water. He presented the report on the Lopes Drainage Works, showing a total estimate of $28,500, for which there is a grant of about one third. He stated that if council, which is the administrator of driainage works, said no, Lopes could appeal. If it says yes, then, in his opinion, the neighbour is likely to appeal. He recommended approving the works, which council did by motion.WARDEN’S OFFICE Council received a letter from Brian Milne, in his new capacity as Grey County warden, about a planned change in communication between the county and the local municipalities. In the past, local councils received a visit from the warden and the Grey County CAO each year. Although, that visit may still happen on request, in 2014 the annual council visits will be discontinued in favour of changing the Warden’s Forum to bring about more sharing of ideas and information.WORKS DEPARTMENT The meeting both began and ended with council complimenting the roads crew
for their excellent work in combating the heavy snowfall over the previous days. Jim Ellis reported that one township truck ended up in the ditch during a whiteout near Mount Forest. A heavy tow truck needed to come from Markdale and it took three hours to free it. No one was injured in the incident, Mr. Ellis said, and truck damage was not great. Council received a MOE site inspection report which found no issues at the closed waste disposal site in Proton.OLDE TOWN HALL The public will be invited to fill five positions on a task force to bring recommendations back to council, which has to make a decision on the fate of the Dundalk Olde Town Hall. In addition to the five voting members from the public there will be two non-voting members from Council. (See ad in this week’s paper for details). In the meantime, council will be asking for a structural inspection from Triton Engineering. The firm was involved with both the Drayton and Fergus theatre renovations. By March, the township will need to advise the Dundalk Little Theatre whether it will be able to use the facility for its April production. The timeline given in the fire safety inspection report to make required changes is 90 days. Councillor Dale Pallister questioned whether the $94,000 for those changes should be undertaken before it is known how much it will cost to keep the hall going, and whether that is the financially responsible choice. CAO Dave Milliner said he had spoken to the president of the Little Theatre and told her it was “a week by week situation” right now.
The insurer, Jardine Lloyd Thomspon, will require an update on the building prior to confirming coverage for the April production, the CAO’s report stated.BUDGET Council considered the draft budget report from treasurer Brenda Schenk. The overall blended tax rate increase would be 2.45 percent at this point. Two big challenges faced off the top were $125,000 less from the province, and an increase of between $65,000 and $70,000, about eight percent, for policing costs. “It’s almost $200,000 of lost revenue from last year that we had to make up before we even discussed increases from our own staff or hydro or fuel, or anything else from our own budget,” Mayor Brian Milne said in a later interview. “Had we not had that $200,000 hit, the current budget would be in the neighbourhood of zero percent increase.” Currently, the local budget portion has gone up four percent, but the 1.25 percent increase county rate and an education rate expected to remain the same, lead to the projected blended rate increase of 2.45 percent. Councillor Dale Pallister commented that roads and waste were the top two priorities named by Southgate residents during a survey last year. He inquired about cuts to the roads budget. “We have an infrastructure that’s falling apart on the back roads,” he said. Balancing the budget by taking away from the roads was the wrong approach, he said. Works manager Jim Ellis answered Councillor Pallister by saying that the budget doesn’t include any paving, except maybe in Dundalk. “That is a backwards step,” he said. Councillor Kim Peeters stated that the other thing that the public wanted council to do was keep tax
PoliceReport
Grey OPPMAN ARRESTED FOR DRIVING WHILE DISQUALIFIED On Wednesday, January 08, 2014, at approximately 2:42 p.m., Grey County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) stopped a farm tractor travelling northbound on Hwy. 10, south of Grey Rd. 9, Melancthon Township, in Dufferin County. The driver was found to be operating the tractor while being disqualified from operating a motor vehicle. A 46-year-old man of Melancthon Township, is charged with the criminal offence of Driving While Disqualified. He was arrested and held in custody pending a bail hearing.SWITCHING SEATS DOESN’T WORK FOR IMPAIRED MOTORIST On January 10, 2014 at approximately 6:30 p.m., members of the Barrie Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to a motor vehicle collision (MVC) involving two vehicles on highway 11 northbound. A motorist advised police the driver and passenger had switched seating prior to police arrival. An OPP investigation revealed that the original driver of this motor vehicle was operating it while under the influence of alcohol. Charged with “Impaired Operation”, “Exceed 80 mgs” and Driving while under suspension X 2 is a 40-year-old man from Dundalk. His licence was suspended for a period of 90 days under the Administrative Drivers Licence Suspension (ADLS) program and his motor vehicle was impounded for seven days. He is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice located in Barrie on February 3, 2014. OPP REPORT FIVE SNOWMOBILE FATALITIES SO FAR In the wake of five fatal motorized snow vehicle (MVC) collisions that have occurred in Ontario since the start of the season, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is warning snowmobilers to exercise caution at all times while out enjoying what should
be a safe winter recreational activity. All five of these tragic fatalities occurred on roads and the OPP is reminding snowmobilers to always travel at speeds which take into consideration not only their ability as an operator, but also the weather and surface conditions in the areas in which they are travelling. This is especially important during heavy snowfall, high winds, when snow banks are present and when visibility becomes obscured or is reduced to zero. The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) provide designated trails that are marked, mapped, maintained and patrolled for the safety and enjoyment of all snowmobilers. By avoiding closed trails and not riding on roads, lakes, unfamiliar terrain and private property, snowmobilers can greatly reduce their risk of getting into trouble. Please make safety and common sense important aspects of your preparation and planning every time you head out on your snowmobile.STRANDED/ABANDONED VEHICLES IN GREY COUNTYThe dust, or rather snow, has settled in Grey County after a winter storm, with blizzard and wind chill warnings, hit the area a week ago Monday.
Between 4 p.m. on Monday, January 6, 2014 and 8 a.m. on Wednesday, January 8, 2014, Grey County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received 25 calls for service regarding stranded/ abandoned motor vehicles. Five (5) motor vehicle collisions were investigated resulting in one driver being charged with “failing to share half roadway-meeting vehicle” on Grey Rd. 2 near Concession 10 in the Municipality of Grey Highlands. No injuries were reported. OPP charged two motorists for driving on a closed road on Hwy. 10SNOWMOBILER CHARGED Grey County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) remind snowmobilers that their safety, peace of mind and enjoyment while sledding this winter start with being compliant with the Motorized Snow Vehicles Act (MSVA) and being properly trained. On Sunday, January 5, 2014 at approximately 1:45 p.m., Grey County OPP stopped a snowmobile on the OFSC trail at Road 120 in the Municipality of Grey Highlands. The operator of the sled, 1 26-year-old man from Orangeville, was issued a Provincial Offence Notice for Fail to Display Evidence of Permit under the MSVA,

Swinton ParkThe first full week of
January brought frigid tem-peratures, heavy snowfalls,zero visibility and cancellationof the seniors executive meet-ing and the Tuesday afternoonshuffleboard.
Shovels and snow blowershad a good workout as areasfilled in almost as quickly asthey were cleared out. Stayingin – hopefully, close to a woodstove – was the order of theweek. Towards the weekend,road conditions improvedallowing partial resumption ofour regular routine.
Fifteen seniors arrivedFriday afternoon for cardsand darts allowing for onetable of euchre, six-handedpepper and five dart players.June Wilson and I visited withDelmar and Maude, herbeloved feline, on Friday after-noon. We enjoyed catching upon old times and looking atsome memorable photo-graphs.
On Sunday, Bruce and Idrove to Alliston and tookHeidi and Phil out for lunch.The roads were good and thetraffic well-behaved. On thenews at 11 p.m., a story aboutTanner, a fish-sniffing goldenretriever who is a proud mem-ber of the Ministry of NaturalResources, caught my atten-tion.
His handler loves to workwith him because, he said,Tanner is very quiet when theyare in the vehicle. Sometimes,he has to check the kennel tomake certain he actually hashim in the vehicle. His handlerdescribed him as “the perfectpartner” – knowing when tospeak up and when to be quiet.Tanner has become a bit of acelebrity among the fishermen
in the area that the duopatrols. Trying to hide illegalfish from Tanner is futile.
It’s always fun to watch theGolden Globe Awards. Co-hosts Tina Fey and AmyPoehler did an excellent job.My favourite comment of thenight was Tina Fey’s explana-tion of the movie “Gravity”when she said “It’s the story ofhow George Clooney wouldrather float away in space anddie than spend any more timewith a woman his own age.”To that one could say “grow-ing old is mandatory, growingup is optional”.
Islay Livingston will hostthe pepper tournament onSaturday with capable assis-tance from Andrea Mann,Esther Kurt and Nelson. Havea great week!

Hanover manpilot for CF-18demo team
A Hanover man has been
appointed as the pilot for the
2014 CF-18 Demonstration
Team.
Flying his specially painted
CF-18 commemorating the
90th anniversary of the RCAF,
Captain Adam “Manik”
Runge will dazzle audiences
across North America through-
out 2014.
A native of Hanover,
Ontario, Capt. Runge’s fasci-
nation with aviation began as a
toddler and air shows had a
major influence on him as a
child and he’s grateful to now
return that favour.
“The Snowbirds came to
my hometown to do a show
when I was nine. After seeing
the performance, I was hooked
on everything about military
aviation.” said Captain Runge.
“I’m thrilled about having the
chance to inspire the next gen-
eration of youth to set goals
and chase their dreams, all
while working with some of the
most professional technicians
and support crews.”
The CF-18 Demonstration
Team selects a theme for each
year and 2014 will feature the
90th anniversary of the RCAF.
The specially painted CF-
18 Hornet will feature unique
artwork on the tails and dorsal
parts of the aircraft designed
by veteran Design Director,
Jim Belliveau, at 4 Wing Cold
Lake, Alberta. The Demo
Hornet will be revealed later in
2014 prior to the start of the
air show season.
“The RCAF has enjoyed a
rich history and it is an honour
to share that with audiences all
over North America,” said
Major-General Pierre St-
Amand, Commander of 1
Canadian Air Division and the
Canadian NORAD Region.
“Capt. Runge is a talented
pilot who has embraced the
challenge of representing the
RCAF across the continent. I
am confident his skill and pro-
fessionalism will make him a
great ambassador for the
Canadian Armed Forces.”
Capt. Runge is currently a
member of 409 “Nighthawks”
Tactical Fighter Squadron at 4

MaxwellThe weather is the main
topic with the blizzard we had
last week which closed roads,
schools and shut down practi-
cally everything. Heavy snow,
high winds and cold tempera-
tures were followed by rain on

down the snow but making
roads slippery. This Monday
morning, it is sunny and
milder and currently above
freezing.

Boost yournutrition withblueberries
(NC) Everyone knows that
“superfoods” are good for you.
The combination of vitamins,
antioxidants, fiber, and phyto-
chemicals, among other nutri-
ents make them natural dis-
ease-fighters. But when it
comes to great taste, not all
superfoods are created equal.
Fortunately for blueberries,
they’re not only great for you,
but also great tasting. And,
thanks to the growers and
exporters of Chile, they’re
available all winter long.
Blueberries not only pack
enough nutritional goodness to
help fend off diseases from
common colds to Alzheimer’s,
they’re also amazingly versa-
tile and utterly delicious.
Moreover, they’re naturally
fat-free, high in vitamin C, rich
in potassium and fiber, and
contain more cancer-fighting
antioxidants than either wine
or green tea. Recent studies
show that fresh blueberries are
natural anti-inflammatories,
too—they can help keep skin
looking younger, reduce the
risk of heart disease and some
cancers, and provide the same
bacteria fighters as cranber-
ries to help guard against uri-
nary tract infections. Just one-
half cup of blueberries helps
meet the recommended 5 to 9
servings a day of colorful
fruits.

sions. Last Sunday’s church

FleshertonPastoralCharge ST. JOHN’S FLESHERTON
Wendy Moreland and JanetRobinson greeted the worship-pers and Susan Kell was at thepiano for the service.
Rev. Shawn was in the pul-pit for our first Sunday afterEpiphany and chose the lec-tionary readings from Isaiah42: 1-9, Acts 10: 34-43 andMatthew 3: 13-17 to preachfrom.
The question Rev. Shawnasked us this week was, “Howdoes God speak to us as indi-viduals?” We know that wespeak to God through prayerbut how does He talk to us? Isit through the beauty of nature,the whisper of the wind, achild’s cry? How do we knowwhen he speaks to us?
In the Isaiah passage wehear of how God spoke to theProphets through visions andactual words. However, ifsomeone today was to speak oftheir personal encounters withGod in the same manner theywould likely have their sanityquestioned. So how does God“talk” to us?
In Acts, we hear of how theyoung Christian Church wasstruggling to figure out howthey could include the Gentilesin this new Jewish ChristianChurch. At that time,Christianity was usually con-sidered to be only for Jews whobelieved in Jesus.
Peter wanted to includeeveryone and to dismiss theJewish rules and invite Gentileand Jew to eat and worshiptogether, for God had spokento Peter in a dream where asheet had been lowered carry-ing all the animals of the earthand God and told him to eatthem all as they were clean.
Paul, on the other hand,felt very strongly that onlythose who followed the Jewishlaws could be at the table. Itwas not until the Temple inJerusalem was destroyed thatthe Gentiles were more accept-ed.
God spoke to Peter in adream. He spoke to Paul as aflash of light on the Road toDamascus, but how does Godspeak to us?
The Matthew scripturedescribes the baptism of Jesusby John the Baptist. In thispassage, those present didindeed hear God speak as a
voice from Heaven said, “Thisis my Son, whom I love; withhim I am well pleased.” Again,the words of God are spokenfor those there to hear, butwhat about us today?
The solution is that we needto be ready and open to God.We need to be willing to seeand hear God in everythingand anything. We need to bemore like St. Francis and bewilling to do God’s work andin this way be able to hear God“speaking” to us. Thanks be toGod.
During the children’s timewe celebrated Hannah’s birth-day by singing “HappyBirthday” to her.
The service ended with ourbenediction and choralresponse.
In the life and work of theChurch, we reminded that Jan.19 will be Communion.

Internet safetyfor seniors
Internet safety has always
been an important subject for
parents and their children.
However, increasingly people
are beginning to realize that
they need to also educate their
own parents on this topic.
Within Canada, the fastest
growing age group joining
Facebook is 65 and older; in
fact 53% of all seniors are on
the internet every day.
Unfortunately, there are also
more and more sophisticated
schemes criminals trying to
scam internet users for their
own financial gain.
So how do seniors take con-
trol of their own cyber security
and enjoy safe surfing?
“Protecting yourself can be
easy when you become aware
of the most common threats
and risks to your online securi-
ty. It all begins with under-
standing one simple fact: the
internet can be a hazardous
place,” says Laura
MaioGeorge McTaggart, direc-
tor of Ottawa-based internet
security company, Trend
Micro.
“Whether banking, con-
necting with friends, or just
passing time, when you’re
online you are never alone.
Seniors can avoid becoming
victims of scammers and other
internet criminals, by being
vigilant.”
Trend Micro staff offer the
following ten tips.
Be wary of unexpected calls
or messages.
Stick to well-known web-
sites.
Only accept friend requests
from people you know.
Choose your passwords
wisely, protect them, don’t use
the same passwords for every-
thing, and make them difficult
to guess by using letters, num-
bers and symbols.
Make sure to change your
passwords every three months.
Don’t be afraid to say
“Wait a minute... let me check
with somebody else.”
Use a different computer
for online banking.
Make sure to use and set
your computer’s privacy set-
tings.
On Facebook — never post
when you’re going on vacation;
you can let people know once
you’re back.
Be careful on public Wi-Fi:
hackers can hijack your ses-
sion — collecting info and
infecting your computer.

Dundalk Legion
The Legion is getting pre-
pared for the Karaoke Night,
on Saturday, Jan. 18.
Originally, we had thought
that we’d start the evening off
at 9 p.m., but we started think-
ing it might be too big a strain
on some of these singers’ voices
to be performing so late in the
evening, so we moved the start-
ing time ahead. See Coming
Events to get all the details. It
will be a fun night for every-
one.
Here are the pepper scores:
High Ladies: Judy Young, 236;
2nd - Islay Besley, 221. Men’s
High: Pat Batchelor 229; 2nd
- Louie McGlashan 221 (both
playing for the men).
Has everyone made your
New Year’s Resolutions? My
New Year’s resolution is going
to be that I’m not going to
complain about the weather.
(I’ve been complaining about
the weather a lot lately.)
In this area we complain it’s
either too hot or too cold, too
much rain, or not enough rain,
too much snow or too much
freezing rain, and last but not
least, it’s always too windy.
I know this is going to be
very difficult for me to do, but
I’ll give it a try.
Oh, did I happen to men-
tion that I wasn’t going to start
this resolution till the middle of
August… and I’m ending it at
the beginning of September.
Besides, who ever complains
about the weather that time of
year? Now you know how seri-
ous I am about New Year’s
Resolutions.
For any Toronto fans that
are having some suspicions
that they may never see a
Stanley Cup in their lifetime,
here is a Trivia that might give
you a little hope. What was the
team from the place with the
smallest population ever to win
the Stanley Cup? Here’s a hint.
This town had a statue built,
and the name of the statue is
“Husky the Muskie”.
That’s all for this week from
Br 285.

Tournament played at St.
Catharines, January 9-12. This
was a 64-team tournament

Congratulations, boys, on this

Family literacyis more thanreading andwriting
(NC) When we think about
literacy, we often think about
reading and writing. However,
literacy is also about our abili-
ty to navigate the world
around us through technology,
numeracy, problem solving,
document use, and other essen-
tial skills.
By incorporating different
types of literacy and essential
skills into daily family activi-
ties, parents can encourage
and create opportunities for
their children to develop the
abilities they need for success
in school and for a lifetime of
learning.
Family Literacy Day is on
January 27 so ABC Life
Literacy Canada offers the fol-
lowing ways for families to
embrace literacy and learning
together:
Have a family board game
night. Get the kids to read the
instructions, keep score, count
the spaces and spell the words.
Follow a recipe together.
Cooking is a great way to
develop reading and numeracy
(measurement) skills. Look up
a recipe online to practice your
digital literacy skills.
Make groceries a family
activity. Children can write a
shopping list, identify items in
the fridge that are getting low,
check price differences
between different brands, sort
items for packing or putting
away, count how many pota-
toes to buy and look at the cash
register receipts.
During car trips, read signs
and billboards and look for
interesting licence plates.
Listen to audio books in the
car, especially during longer
trips – most libraries have a
great selection.
When planning a family
vacation, get the kids to do
some online research and make
recommendations about what
to see and do. Look at a map
together to plan your route to
your final destination.
Home is the key to home-
work. After kids have finished
their homework, proofread for
spelling and punctuation, veri-
fy math answers, and suggest
any changes that will improve
their writing.
Family Literacy Day began
on January 27, 1999 – and
since then, thousands of activi-
ties and events are held annu-
ally in homes, schools, learning
centres, and in literacy organi-
zations across the country.
More information can be
found online at
www.FamilyLiteracyDay.ca.

Osprey HockeyNOVICE Our Novice players hosted Georgian Shores on Saturday, Jan. 11. With an extra long winter break due to some nasty weather, they were ready to expel some of that pent-up energy. And what a game it would turn out to be. The Georgian Shore bench was a full one but our Hawks were ready to go. Period one starts off with our Novice getting a penalty, but the defence is ready and they keep Georgian Shores at bay. Osprey kills off the penalty and gets a nice shot on Georgian Shores net but it is stopped along with the rebound. Georgian Shores would get a penalty and Jacob would take the puck and get a good rush on their net, stopped, rebound was not picked up by anyone, no scoring. By the end of the fi rst period Georgian Shores up by two. It isn’t until we are into the second where Carter blasts one past their goalie and gets us on the board. Georgian Shores takes the puck and heads down towards our net, Paige gets a piece of the puck and stops the breakaway. Into the fi nal period we go, Mackenna and Emma help keep the puck down in Georgian Shores end. From a face off, Carter takes the puck, shoots on net, but is stopped. Not giving up, the Hawks get the puck back down in the Georgian Shores’ end. Carter rushes down, goes top shelf and gets it! Goal number two for Osprey! Back down we go, Carter takes another shot which is stopped, but Jacob
is there for the rebound, he shoots, but is also stopped! Wow! Hawks’ player Brent takes a hard hit along the board and stays down. He is taken off the ice to be assessed, but returns a short time later! What a trooper! Carissa would take the puck down the ice and take a shot on net but no goal. However, Jacob turns the puck around, goes back down the ice shoots. He scores with an assist from Carissa! Paige is fi red upon with several shots in a row and is literally bending over backwards to make the stops! Holy moly what a goalie! Great effort but they are fi nally able to get one past her. Carter gets his third goal of the game! Awesome! Georgian Shores would get one more before this game would end. Final score 8-4 Georgian Shores! What a fantastic game. Novice you all played your hearts out! Great job!ATOMS The Atoms travelled to Collingwood to take on Collingwood 1 on Sunday, Jan. 12. Collingwood was on the board with two quick ones but Osprey came back and got four in a row. Collingwood got another two and we were right on their heels with two more. We each put one more in the net with a fi nal score of 9-5. Osprey’s goals were scored by Dom 3, Aid 2, Brandon 2, Sam and Ben both with 1. Assists went to Sam 4, Ryan 2, Liam 2, Ben, Dalt and Dom. Great goaltending by Nico. Awesome game guys and girlsPEEWEES Our Peewees travelled
to Collingwood on January 10 to play in the new Central Park arena. This game started off on the wrong foot with Collingwood getting fi ve goals in the fi rst period. During the second, Wade with an assist from Jack was able to get Osprey on the board. Our Hawks managed to get in gear and with a nice rush on Collingwood’s net, we are unable to get one past their goalie. Collingwood also has a nice rush and goalie Connor also makes a stop. Another play has Collingwood blasting the puck at Connor over and over and he is stopping them all, until fi nally one gets past him. Great effort Connor! This game would end with Collingwood getting the win. Model A – and
the one that got away!by Bill SherkThe Old Car Detective Dalton Lowe of Stayner, Ontario, purchased a 1930 Model A Ford in 1965 but still misses the 1926 Dodge touring he bought and sold for $12 in 1946. First, the story on the Model A. “I bought my 1930 Model A Ford in 1965 from Hanna Motors, a Ford dealership in Collingwood. The car had been traded into the dealership by the local family physician, Dr. Bill Ives. He had purchased he car from an older gentleman who lived in Wasaga Beach. The older fellow asked Dr. Ives to care for him and in return he would get the car. This was in the days before OHIP! “Dr. Ives’ wife and children drove the car right up to 1965 as their family vehicle. Finally it was time to get her a newer car (she was tired of driving a car 35 years old!). “In 1965, I paid Hanna Motors $300 for the Model A. It was black and needed some work. In the ‘80s, I decided to have the car restored. It took a few years to have it completed but it was well worth it. It is now the sage green and butter
cream colours, and is always a show stopper whenever I take it places. All seven of our children have had it for their weddings. And now the grandchildren have started to get married and we have used it to tour them around. It has also been driven to graduations and proms. Now for the story of the one that got away. “I have always had a love of vehicles. In 1946, when I was 13, my buddy Denton Brownridge and I were delivering newspapers to make a few bucks. We delivered the paper to a fellow named Jack Aimes. He had a 1926 Dodge touring in his back shed. He didn’t drive and so the car had just been sitting there. I think there was only 12,000 miles on it. “Brownridge and I bought it for $12! It took us a bit to gather up the cash but we had a few part-time jobs and it was ours! Soon after purchasing it, we sold it to Eric Dickey of Stayner, for $75. What a profi t! The deal was, he had to bring us back from Wasaga Beach. Later that same week, he sold the car for $150. I really would like to fi nd our 1926 Dodge touring. On the
rad shell it had the letters BC.” If Dalton’s Dodge turns up, you’ll read all about it right here, where we bring old cars back to life. Stay tuned! I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk @sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

Fun-filled pantomime in Shelburne The annual tradition of an old-style English pantomime that’s fun for the whole family is continuing in Shelburne this January. Dick Whittington and his cat, Tammy, journey to London to seek their fortune after hearing that the streets are paved with gold. When he finds theyare not, he gets work in Alderman Fitzwarren’s store, where he meets some odd characters and falls in love with the Alderman’s beautiful daughter, Alice. Tammy the cat becomes renowned for her rat-catching abilities, but the evil Queen Rat sets out to destroy Dick, and become the Lord Mayor of London... Dundalk resident Bev Nicholas is director and choreographer is his wife Jo Hubbard. Dick Whittington (and his cat) features a large cast of veteran Tipling Stage Company actors and some new faces. M u s i c a l accompaniment, under the direction of Gerry McNalty (another Dundalk-area resident), includes
percussion, guitar, keyboards and saxophone this year. It’s going to be a fun, noisy extravaganza of comedy, song and dance in the welcoming, old-time atmosphere of Shelburne’s Grace Tipling Hall -- a little warmth to look forward to during this cold, bleak winter! Performances are the evenings of January 24 and 25, January 31 and February 1 and the afternoons of January 26 and February 2. For further details, see Coming Events.

Be careful what you share on vacation (NC) It’s tempting to post lots of details about a winter getaway online, and in real-time, but be aware that you aren’t the only one to have discovered how amazing it can be to share photos and information online and on social networks. Cyber criminals like to “get social” too, but their definition of that termis to help themselves to your personal information, among other things. These criminals pretend to be people they aren’t and you can give them access to your personal information, location, and activities without even knowing it. And that is just one threat. You can also put yourself at risk, by sharing comments or pictures that may come back to haunt you and your reputation. Here are some tips to help you share with care: Limit the personal information you share online to only what’s necessary. Be careful using your full name, contact information, home address, phone numbers, email address, last names of friends or relatives, age, birth date, or other personal information. Check the privacy and security settings of your social network and use them to control who sees what. Most have default settings which likely provide more access than you’d like. You can adjust settings to the highest possible level to protect your information and control who can see personal details (rather than “everyone” or “friends of friends”).
Be cautious about geotagging photos or details in photographs that you post or share. Photographs can reveal a lot of personal information when there are clearlyidentifiabledetailssuchas street signs, license plates on cars, or the name of a school on clothing and geotag settings can reveal location details. Finally, don’t announce to the world that you are on vacation. You might as well leave the door unlocked and welcome sign out front for thieves. Save those updates and photos to share when you return! Protect while you connect. More information is available online at GetCyberSafe.ca.

Letter fromQueen’s Park(from the office of Bill Walker,
MPP Bruce-Grey-Owen
Sound)
Despite the Liberal govern-
ment’s mismanagement of
Ontario’s finances, pending
tax increases and serial scan-
dals, the year 2013 was overall
positive for the Official
Opposition at Queen’s Park,
says Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound
MPP Bill Walker.
A number of the PC Caucus
members’ motions and bills
were passed by the Legislature
this year, including Walker’s
own motion that calls on the
government to immediately
strike an all-party committee
to study transportation needs
in rural and Northern Ontario.
“As much as I and my cau-
cus colleagues are ready and
willing to get Ontario back on
the right track, we technically
cannot as we’re not the gov-
ernment. But, as Opposition
members in a minority parlia-
ment, we can however chip
away at some issues important
to our constituents through
private bills and motions and
help to bring about positive
change for some Ontarians.”
Among those bills that
passed were Whitby MPP
Christine Elliott’s motion for a
select committee on Mental
Health Developmental
Services, Elgin-Middlesex-
London MPP Jeff Yurek’s
Ryan’s Law, which calls for
standardized asthma-manage-
ment plans in Ontario schools,
Oxford MPP Ernie
Hardeman’s carbon-monoxide
bill, Sarnia MPP Bob Bailey’s
Call Before You Dig bill, and
Barrie MPP Rod Jackson’s
The Youth Right to Care,
which extends the right to care
to children aged 16 and older,
will be soon called for Third
and final reading.
“These are all great pieces
of legislation that will have a
significant impact on families,
seniors and youth who other-
wise would have been left neg-
lected by the government,”
Walker says, adding that he
never shies away from sup-
porting a good bill, regardless
of the bill’s party affiliation.
“Some of the change achieved
through these private bills was
long overdue, and I think
that’s a major step forward for
all of us.”
Walker, who spends a
majority of his time at Queen’s
Park debating bills, says he
wasn’t surprised when his
name popped up on the Top 10
Year-end 2013 Queen’s Park
Speakers Statistics.
According to Ontario
Monitor, a website dedicated to
tracking activities in the
Parliament, Walker was the
7th most prolific speaker with
85,427 words spoken over the
past 12 months.
“With the Liberal govern-
ment’s shameful management
record, including the cancelled
gas plants, Ornge, OPG and
eHealth scandals, it was hard
to keep quiet,” he says. “It is
my job to hold the government
accountable. And so I tried my
best to make it clear to this
government that every dollar
wasted on these scandals was a
dollar taken away from health
and social programs and serv-
ices needed in Bruce-Grey-
Owen Sound, at every oppor-
tunity.”

Save heatingcosts cleverly
(NC) There’s an old saying
that “every mile feels like two
in winter”. And, in Canada,
our energy bills often double
as well.
During the colder, darker
days, families tend to spend
more time indoors where it’s
warm and comfy. It’s no won-
der then, that the average fam-
ily struggles to find a balance
between maintaining a com-
fortable home, while still being
energy efficient, environmen-
tally-friendly, and keeping the
heating bills down.
“There are plenty of easy
and everyday ways to make a
big difference around your
home, and small actions can
make a positive impact on the
environment and help with
some savings,” says Mary
Desjardins, Executive Director
of TD Friends of the
Environment Foundation.
Some tips she found include:
One sweater is all it takes to
turn down the thermostat.
One bamboo plant can
improve air quality in your
house. Bamboo plants also
emit moisture into the air,
helping to increase humidity
levels.
One pair of slippers and
one kitchen mat will keep your
feet protected from the cold
floor and make a difference on
your heating bill
Ten per cent can be saved
on your average heating bill by
turning your thermostat down
one degree at night and while
away at work.
120 degrees as a setting for
your water tank will reduce
heating costs.
By simply doing the ‘math’,
you can help conserve energy
and … some coin.

increases to the rate of inflation. She said eliminating projects wasn’t the only way to balance the budget, and that there could be gains from streamlining and efficiencies, which are being adopted. There is expected to be a surplus from 2013, and the amount should be known by the first council meeting in February. It would be possible to roll that over as a revenue item rather than put it into reserves. Mayor Brian Milne mentioned that the library budget hadn’t been touched, while some others had been cut, so that was something to be looked at. Councillor Pat Franks said that Councillor Evans, who is on the library board, says that the total budget is smaller, so any increase expressed as a percentage looks like more.

Grey County weathers the storm Although the weather has warmed up considerably in the last few days, Grey County was hammered with the effects of the polar vortex last week, with widespread significant snowfall and whiteout conditions across the County from last Monday evening through Wednesday afternoon. Blizzard conditions closed roads across the County and throughout much of the region, with several counties across Southwestern Ontario reporting the closure of all roads at one point during the worst of the wintry conditions. “People in Grey County are no strangers to winter weather, but the polar vortex gave us the type of storm that even we don’t see that often,” said Warden Brian Milne in a press release from the county. The county said that road closures and blizzard conditions forced the rescheduling of the January 7th County Council meeting and closed the County Administration Building and Provincial Offences Court in Owen Sound on January 8th; Grey Roots Museum and Archives was also forced to close January 7th and 8th due to inclement weather. At the rescheduled County Council meeting on January 9th, Warden Milne praised the work of Grey County staff in responding to the storm. “Throughout the storm, Grey County staff worked hard to continue providing essential services to our community,” he said,
as reported in the press release. Warden Milne continued, “Transportation Services and Emergency Medical Services worked hard to keep our community safe. We heard accounts of plows escorting ambulances during emergency calls. Our staff in social services and long-term care staff continued their great work in supporting our most vulnerable people during the storm and staff throughout the administration worked diligently to keep everyone informed and operations running smoothly. “It was an all-hands-on-deck situation and our staff rose to the task. This kind of service is commendable, although not surprising given the extraordinary quality and dedication of our employees.” Transportation crews worked around the clock to clear roads during the continuous snowfall. The county reported that many plow operators slept between shifts in the County’s regional Transportation Depots rather than returning home, in order to ensure they would be ready for the next shift and ready to continue the difficult and time-consuming work of clearing roads. Road conditions were the top concern for everyone in Grey County during the storm. From January 1st to 8th, Grey County’s winter road conditions webpage reported 40,468 unique page views and the road conditions live-cameras saw 18,677 page views, demonstrating the importance of the County’s virtual public service and communications in helping keep residents, businesses and visitors informed
about travel conditions in our area. Paramedics and plow operators worked together, the county stated, with local fire departments to transport patients and respond to emergencies during the worst of the storm, with snow plows used during calls in Chatsworth and Meaford to help ambulance crews navigate snow-covered roads. From January 6th through January 8th, Grey County Paramedics responded to 60 emergency calls. The blizzard conditions also caused some power outages throughout the region and left one of the County’s apartment buildings in Hanover without heat on Tuesday morning. The building custodian was able to make it to work, but the heating contractor was unable to make it to the building to repair the boilers. Working with the heating contractor over the phone, the Grey County custodian was able to restore heat to the residents, which meant no one had to be relocated and all residents were able to stay warm and safe at home during the worst of the storm. Commending County staff on their exceptional efforts, Warden Milne said, “Throughout the storm, Grey County staff across all departments continued to take care of our most vulnerable community members and worked hard to provide the services that keep our community safe and operating smoothly. On behalf of County Council, I’d like to thank our staff, residents and businesses for doing their part in keeping our community safe this winter.”

Local farm-to- chef videos launch at Grey Roots Theresa Albert, a Toronto nutritionist and food blogger is launching nine “video journeys” celebrating local farmers and chefs on Monday, January 20 at Grey Roots Museum in Owen Sound. The invitation-only video showing will be followed by a reception featuring local food prepared by five of the County’s best chefs. “Grey County is ‘real country’, authentic, unspoiled and true to its historical roots in agriculture. The videos showcase today’s local farmers, so many of them young and innovative, who are sharing the spotlight with
established farm families about all that is wonderful where we live now!”, says Linda Reader economic development consultant and a member of the team that leads the Grey County Chefs’ Forum.The videos produced during the fall of 2013 are produced with the assistance of Grey County Economic The nine local producers are: Rob Roy Market Garden, KountryRoad Farms (duck), Osprey Bluffs Honey, Killannan Breweries, Saugeen Dairy products, Northwoods Mushrooms, Pheasant Hill Farm game birds, Wooldrift Farm sheep cheese and lamb, and Roy’l Acres micro greens and shoots. Chef Shawn Adler from The Flying Spatula and Chestnut, Chef Keith Hagedorn of the Beaver Valley Ski Club, Chef Chris Bishop of Peasemarsh Farms, and Chef Shaun Edmonstone from the Bruce Wine Bar will create an outstanding sampling of local fare after the video presentations. Chef Gary Gingras of Cedars Cottage Resort a founding member of the Chefs’ Forum Advisory Committee, will also be in attendance.
Since October 2012, the Chefs’ Forum has been breaking new ground with innovative initiatives. First, a series of business-to-business trade shows were created to link farmers with commercial buyers and chefs. Next, with the help of an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant, an interactive web-site that connects buyers and producers on-line was established in the summer of 2013. Most recently, the distribution of local products to the GTA began in December 2013, with 100 KM Foods Inc., an established Toronto based local food distributor taking the first delivery of Chefs’ Forum produce to the city. In the works is a food hub to facilitate even more distribution of local food in partnership with 100 KM Foods Inc. over the coming year.
