On Feb. 13 around 1:40 p.m., a 41-year-old woman from Newmarket was driving her Hyundai Accent northbound on Yonge Street from Bradford.

She was seen driving all over the road, going into oncoming traffic forcing other vehicles to pull over.

The driver was stopped by a plainclothes police officer in the area of Hwy. 89 and Yonge in Innisfil. A uniformed officer arrest-ed the driver for impaired driving. She was transported to the north division station and charged with impaired driving, with a court date before the end of this month.

Anyone who was driving in the area at the time and witnessed the vehicle being driven

is asked to call SSP Constable Carl Jarvis at 705-436-2141, ext. 2032.

The puppy that launched 1,000 rescues

Julia de Zoete, co-founder of Finding Them Homes – James Bay Pawsitive Dog Rescue, with one of the dogs brought to a mobile clinic in Kashechewan.

Erika [email protected]

A stray puppy from Moosonee started it all.

Brenda Mueller was teaching in the northern Ontario town when she stumbled across the wee dog alone and nearly frozen.

She asked around, only to learn it was “just a stray.” But those sad little eyes stuck with her and when she told her friends in Barrie about the little guy, she set in motion events that would lead to a foster-home network, spay and neuter clinics, and an organization that is changing the face of northern communities one set of puppy-dog eyes at a time.

Finding Them Homes – James Bay Pawsitive Rescue, now a regis-tered charity and extensive network of foster homes and volunteers, began soon after Mueller spotted that puppy in September 2012.

Mueller called her friends Julia and Lisa de Zoete in Barrie to tell them of the many dogs roaming in Moosonee, some owned, some stray, all without veterinary care.

“That’s when we became aware of the issue of dog overpopula-tion in remote northern commu-nities,” said Julia de Zoete, who founded the rescue with her sister, Lisa. “One of the major reasons is because there are no veterinary services in these areas to help con-trol the population.”

In cases where the dogs were becoming a threat, culling was the only option for population control.

De Zoete had friends looking for dogs as family pets, and she worked to connect northern dogs with her friends in Barrie and Sim-coe County.

“Our initial goal was to help reduce the population and give these communities other options instead of dog culls,” said de Zoete, a nurse living in Barrie.

“Our mission now has expanded to include spay/neuter clinics and education, in addition to rescuing stray and surrendered dogs.”

After three years, Finding Them Homes has successfully rescued and found homes for 1,000 dogs.

The organization works with

community contacts to host spay/neuter clinics.

Karen Metatawabin lives in Fort Albany and has worked with Finding Them Homes. She said she now knows every dog in her community and added there are no more strays.

Word is spreading and de Zoete is hearing from communities in

the Kenora district and Mani-toulin Island, where residents want to work with her to help local dogs.

“Our rescue is complete-ly run by volunteers,” said de Zoete. “This includes foster-ing dogs that come from up north, monetary donations to help with transportation costs,

vetting, spay/neuter clinics, donations of supplies for dogs and clinics, transporting dogs and so many other volunteer opportunities.”

Right now, the rescue is drum-ming up support for a spay/neu-ter clinic in Kashechewan – a 16-hour journey from Barrie, half of which is on the ice road

called Wetum Road. This is the third and largest winter clinic for the group, and it begins Feb. 12. It will include 11 volunteers, including Barrie veterinarian Dr. Pauline Van Veen, two veterinary technicians and eight rescue volunteers.

“These communities are in a stage of transition between valu-ing the dogs as the working ani-mals they have been for centuries and now valuing them as pets and part of their families,” said Van Veen.

“The band councils are wanting to help in communities that have never had veterinary care unless an owner can afford to fly a pet out.”

Among the volunteers going to Kashechewan is Krista Howe, an architectural designer from Barrie. She went to Wahgoshig First Nation last year and helped in post-op for a weekend clinic that spayed and neutered 54 dogs.

“I don’t think a lot of people really know much about the overpopulation that is happen-ing up north,” said Howe, while visiting the Wasaga Beach Pet Valu store Jan. 30 with some Finding them Homes dogs up for adoption.

Barrie resident Jennifer Cac-eres adopted a dog – Grundy – through the organization and also volunteers with her fam-ily for rescue events and as a foster home for dogs. She said rescue organizations and spay/neuter clinics are nec-essary, and that help should come from other areas of the province where vet care is available.

“They need our help, simple as that,” said Caceres. “They cannot do this on their own.”

With just weeks until road closures and construction are set to begin for the highly anticipated Line 5 and Hwy. 400 interchange, council awarded the work to the lowest bid-der during its meeting Feb. 16.

Dufferin Construction came out on top with the lowest cost among eight bidding companies in the amount of $40,958,476.71, plus applicable taxes. The total amount includes $36,819,600.41 plus taxes for the interchange work itself and $4,138,876.30 plus taxes for a portion of water main and force mains along Line 5.

“This is a very exciting time for Bradford and it’s history in the making I think,” said Deputy Mayor James Leduc after the tender was awarded.

‘This is a very exciting time

for Bradford and it’s history

in the making.’

“For a town of our size to do an inter-change, it’s simply amazing and for a com-munity such as ours to be lead on this type of project is a big deal. I commend staff for getting this done.”

Though it was an easy decision to move ahead with Dufferin Construction, other issues arose concerning speed limits in and around the construction zone. A recommen-dation came forth to council suggesting that the speed limit be reduced to 50 km/h in the following areas between March 2016 and December 2018: along Line 5 from County Road 27 to Canal Road, along Sideroad 10 from Line 5 to County Road 88, along Cof-fey Road from Line 4 to Line 5 and along Sideroad 5 from Line 4 to County Road 88.

Some agreed that the reduced limit of 50 km/h would be acceptable considering safety of drivers and construction crews, however others spoke up about the overall

effect on residents.Mayor Rob Keffer suggested the speed be

reduced to 60 km/h instead.“Honestly, I think 50 is unrealistic for

homeowners. That speed on major stretches of road for 2-1/2 years is difficult, when the posted speed right now is generally 80 km/h,” he said.

“I was really thinking 60 would be better. It would still encourage drivers to slow down a bit, but keep traffic flowing.”

Councillor Peter Dykie agreed, saying most residents would end up driving more than 50 km/h anyway.

But Councillor Mark Contois disagreed.“I’ve worked construction and there is a

danger factor, with gravel roads and the pos-sibility of vehicles veering into ditches. I think it’s safer to go with 50. We drive that speed along our main corridor on Holland Street as it is, so people can adjust.”

After a bit of uncertainty looming around the table, council agreed to amend the rec-ommendation and only decrease the speed limit to 60 km/h.

Keffer noted that orange construction signs would be posted during actual hours of work, which could reduce speeds to 50 or 40 km/h, depending on the needs of the construction crew.

The project, which is expected to be com-pleted within 2-1/2 to three years after its ini-tiation next month, has been budgeted at $54 million — a number, staff say, is still track.

Funding is coming from three parties: BWG, Simcoe County and the Province of Ontario.

BWG is responsible for $19 million, of which all will be funded from development charges and the Early Payment Agreement 3. Simcoe County agreed to fund $18 mil-lion, while the province has put forth $8.5 million.

Interchange construction will close the Line 5 bridge over Hwy. 400 for 18 months starting in March or April 2017. Sideroad 5 and Coffey Road will remain open at all times.

Having stacked team in playoffs disrupts rules of fair play

Re: Bradford midgets struggle with league-imposed sanctions, Feb. 11.

I am a parent with a young man on a team in this local loop.

My son and the other players on his team are being greatly affected by this dis-regard for fair play in the league.

His team is now in playoffs against the stacked Bradford Team

By changing the rules of the disquali-fying teams that have not abided by the boundaries of fair play, all the other teams point standings in the league have been affected.

Now, in the first round of playoffs, Brad-ford’s team will decide the fate of a team that has played by the league rules. The second round will not be affected but the first round is.

The issue of the boys having ice time can be resolved by having them play hockey in their town, on their ice. They can also go to any tournament and not affect the rest of the playoff season.

How do all the other players in the league feel about this team’s right to play in the playoffs?

What are we saying to young adults about rules of fair play?

What are we opening up in the future of

Striking balance with OMB reform

hen it comes to reform of the oft-maligned Ontar-io Municipal Board (OMB),

could a meeting in Aurora ear-lier this month prove to be the start of something significant?

On Feb. 6, a group of nine Golden Horseshoe-area coun-cillors, including five from north of Toronto, met for a working session. The topic of discussion? Golf course redevel-opment/OMB jurisdiction – in the wake of a recent decision by a developer to take the Town of Aurora to the OMB over a coun-cil decision to stop develop-ment on a former golf course.

But a larger issue is at play for this group of elected offi-cials: carefully researched and vetted municipal and regional community plans being con-tinually challenged and over-ridden upon appeal to the OMB by developers. When precedent is critical to future rulings (on things such as building heights, property setbacks, parking spaces, densities, etc.), each decision that runs contrary to an approved plan can have ripple effects.

“We want a say in where we want growth,” says Aurora Councillor Tom Mrakas, who co-hosted the councillor work-ing session.

Added Aurora’s Michael Thompson: “We want to have a stronger adherence to the offi-cial plans that we create.”

There’s also the issue of cost for cash-strapped municipali-ties to defend their plans.

In Ontario, frustration from municipal councils and citizens over the current system gov-erning land use appeals in the province is nothing new.

But achieving meaningful change by channeling that frus-tration? That would be some-thing new.

As such, it’ll be intriguing to see how this recent endeavour all goes.

For the group, there are

plans for a municipal summit in May, a presentation to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) this summer and — perhaps most impor-tantly — hopes of growing the group’s membership.

A broad-based coalition of municipal councillors singing from the same songbook seems like a reasonable first step.

But let’s be clear: This is a gargantuan task overall. Ontario is a big place and the concen-tration of significant growth the province is to experience over the next 25 years will largely be centred in places in the Greater Toronto and Golden Horseshoe areas of the province.

In this environment, coming up with a cohesive proposal for OMB reform to get the attention of provincial lawmakers and ultimately spur action on the file will take focus, resourceful-ness and ingenuity. Not to men-tion determination.

This loose coalition of coun-cillors has a noble-enough goal — but the road ahead will be anything but smooth.

Recently — just last month, in fact — we wrote in this space about the need for OMB reform: Measured, careful reform to restore a sense of balance (one that doesn’t seemingly favour any particular interest), but reform nonetheless.

There needs to be an appeal mechanism, obviously, for plan-ning decisions, but when an insti-tution intended as a ‘last resort’ is used to the extent that it is, when the costs associated with it deter stakeholder participation, a re-think of the OMB’s role and man-date is most definitely in order.

Arm’s length it may be, but the OMB is still a public institution. And we must have trust in our public institutions.

That’s not negotiable. Reform, review, re-charge —

whatever you want to call it — it’s necessary. Balance must be achieved.

It was, and is, overdue.

hockey leagues?Next year can any team can be stacked

in the league, enjoy winning every game and just get their hands slapped with a fine?

These are questions that should be answered. What is right? Or what is wrong?

As one player on the Bradford team said last November, “We have a stacked team and we are going kick your ***.”

So what have we have taught our chil-dren?

I have heard other boys say that they don’t even care to show up to the game. Ask the other players how they feel, I am sure they will tell you.

Good luck with the future of local loop great hockey!

Glad this is our last year!

Have you ever really looked into what dif-ference $1 can make?

For the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, that difference can last a lifetime.

Every winter, the LSRCA puts on the do-it-yourself tree seedling program, offering residents the chance to plant trees on their property with prices as low as 59 cents per seedling.

As trees are such a good return on invest-ment and the LSRCA buys them in bulk, they would like to pass the savings on to you.

The only catch? You need to buy 100 of them.

The LSRCA believes in the heavy promo-tion of trees, as forests provide important ecosystem services needed to help sustain life. They soak up water and filter pollution, their roots bind soil and prevent erosion and forests absorb carbon dioxide and give us oxygen.

Trees create beautiful views, new spaces for recreation and can even help you save on energy costs.

When calculated, the value of key forest services amounts to $319 million every year, according to a report submitted to the David Suzuki Foundation.

“This makes sense when you imagine the cost of having us engineer all these services ourselves. If you think about it like that, the role of forests is incredible,” said Paul Cot-tenden, LSRCA forest technician.

“This point is not lost on some of our long-standing customers who make a habit of planting a few hundred seedlings every year and now have healthy forests to show for their efforts.”

Through the seedling program, the LSRCA offers an affordable option to get things growing. It sells native tree seedlings that have been carefully selected to thrive in our climate and under our local planting condi-tions.

Seedling prices range from $0.59 to $1.32 each plus taxes and handling and include species such as white pine, tamarack and white cedar.

For landowners with more than two acres of land, the LSRCA also offers full-service planting — with enough experience to get as many as 5,000 seedlings in the ground in one day.

LSRCA offers seedling saleGETCONNECTEDq GET INVOLVED: If you would like more

As the PC critic for Canadian heritage and national historical sites, York-Simcoe MP Peter Van Loan has seen one of his first victo-ries come to light.

On the morning of Feb. 16, the House of Commons Standing Committee for Cana-dian Heritage adopted a motion for a study into the issues facing small museums in Canada.

“I am pleased that the committee has agreed that now is an important time to hear from and study the local museum sector,” Van Loan said.

The study will call upon representatives from local and community museums and related industries across Canada to offer a variety of perspectives on the state of com-munity museums to the members of the heritage committee.

Once the study is complete, a report on the findings will be provided to the House of Commons.

“I feel strongly that we must study the importance, role and health of local and community museums across Canada,” Van Loan added.

“This study will highlight the challenges facing community museums, as they play an important role in preserving the history and stories of communities. With the current value of the dollar, the opportunity to pro-mote and grow Canadian tourism is signifi-cant and museums have a key role to play.”

MP’s museum motion adopted

Peter Van Loan

The Canadian Museums Association sup-ported the announcement of the study.

“The vast majority of museums are non-governmental museums and are in a seri-ous state of neglect. They are filled with rich collections, tell the history of Canada where it really happened and are at the heart of their communities,” executive director John McAvity said.

“We welcome this initiative, which will be the first time such a thorough study will have been done by the Members of Parliament.”

You’ve probably seen their name, but have you tried their food?

Smokin’ Piggy Louisiana Smoke House — now situated at its brick-and-mortar location behind 4 Holland St. W. — has come a long way from its food truck origins.

Three years ago, Smokin’ Piggy owner Laurie Stellato decided to share her love for Louisiana-style food, creating the Smokin’ Piggy food truck, which spent most of its time parked along Yonge Street, just south of Bradford.

Within months, the spot had become a local favourite, offering pulled pork, brisket, chilli and other barbecued goods. Stellato’s years of dedication to cooking and involve-ment in the community were finally paying off.

But she wanted something more.As the location on Holland began to

receive some TLC, after being vacant for nearly 10 years since The Winchester Arms restaurant closed, Stellato knew it was her opportunity to expand into the building.

After getting the thumbs up that she could begin to transform the space, Stellato and her team worked diligently, opening their doors to the public Jan. 15.

The restaurant features a full kitchen with smokers, two entrances and an eat-in section.

On Feb. 6, Smokin’ Piggy celebrated its official grand opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Smokin’ Piggy smoke house celebrates grand opening“We’re very excited to finally see a solid

location right here in the downtown core of Bradford,” said Deputy Mayor James Leduc.

“We wish you much success and I’m sure you’ll do very well here. People everywhere are always talking about Smokin’ Piggy.”

Thanks to the new expansion, Stellato and staff now offer a larger menu, which includes shrimp and grits, pulled pork macaroni and cheese and baby back ribs.

Smokin’ Piggy is open from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekly, with extended hours until 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

For more information or to order, call 905-868-0300.

Volunteer high school coaches needed

Do you possess a true love for football? Are you a fan of volunteering?

Bradford District High School just might have the perfect opportunity for you.

The secondary school is looking for foot-ball coaches to join its team for next season.

Interested volunteers would assist in cre-ating a training camp in late June to gather interest in athletes, followed by coaching and support during games from September to November.

According to BDHS athletic director Jason Wilson, coaches would need a police record check, which can be accessed for free through the South Simcoe Police station, and a vul-nerable sector check, as the position includes

working with youth.“Anyone interested should have an under-

standing of football and coaching youth in a similar setting or a true willingness to coach high school football,” Wilson said.

“They would be working with the head coach or helping to develop a junior program to ensure program consistency from year to year.”

Interested applicants can email Wilson [email protected] or Erin Carson at [email protected].

In addition, Wilson and Carson will also be looking for volunteers to work with their basketball teams, though applications for those positions will be dealt with at a later date.

Plenty of pampering at first Ladies Spa Night

It was a night full of pampering at Brittany Buck Hair & Beauty Boutique during its first Ladies Spa Night Feb. 3.

Guests enjoyed makeup and skin care demonstrations, on-the-house Indian scalp massages, introductions to new services, refreshments and good company for a mini-mum donation of $5 to go toward Belinda’s Place, an organization supporting homeless or at-risk women.

“We want to make this an annual event,” said BBBeauty owner Brittany Buck.

“Since it’s a women’s night, we want to reach out to local women at Belinda’s Place

who need our help. It’s also a chance for us to show clients what’s new and trending.”

BBBeauty launched some new services, which now include Indian scalp massages, eyelash extension application and a Canadi-an-based makeup line that is animal cruelty-free.

Two lucky guests also walked away with some great raffle prizes following the event. Sandy Costa won a $90 gift basket from BBBe-auty, while Anita Hely’s name was drawn to win a $500 spa day for two.

“This is a big step for us and we’re so excited to offer these great services to our clients,” Buck added.

“I am so lucky to work with such a talented team of ladies. It was a great night.”
