league juet fun

It's another year for Rotary's Dragon Boat fun league, starting May 16. Dragon Boat teams consist of up to 20 paddlers, and the Wednesday night fun league helps put together the teams.

The fun league features two races every Wednesday, one at 7:00 p.m. and another at 8:00. You can sign up as an individual and be placed on one of four teams. You should be able to swim too metres in light clothing, bring a towel and wear clothes and shoes you don't mind getting wet (there's lots of splashing in Dragon Boat racing). The races happen on Pittock Lake, which is perfect for the 2,000 metre-long races.

The fun league, thanks to the Woodstock Waves Dragon Boat Team, has certified coaches on hand to help teach you paddling techniques, and provides lifejackets and paddles.

"The Fun league boosts interest in the sport," says Festival organizer Dave Fiarris. "It also generates teams for the Festival," he says. Many fun league participants sign up for the main event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 21st annual Dragon Boat Festival August 11.

The Festival is an all-day event that, "draws teams from all over Southern Ontario," says FFarris. An upper limit of 48 teams can be enrolled for the Festival and, at over 20 crew members per team (most teams carry "spares"), that's over a thousand rowers.

For the Fun L eague, there is a registration fee of $55, and anyone under 18 needs to have parental consent. All paddlers have to sign a waiver. The league is based at the

Rotary Dragon Boat Clubhouse in Roth Park. The league and Festival are fundraisers for Rotary, and any proceeds in excess of expenses are used for community work.

School Board Election

How Co campaign finance rules apply

Third Party Advertisements Did you know that corporations and trade unions are no longer eligible to contribute financially to a candidate's municipal election campaign? This includes all council and school board elections. Instead, corporations and trade unions can be third party advertisers or make contributions to other third party advertisers.

What is a third party advertisement?

A third party advertisement is a message m any medium (billboard, newspaper, radio, etc.) that supports, promotes or opposes a candidate or a "yes" or "no" vote on a question on the ballot. Third party advertising does not include issues-based advertising so groups that do public outreach can continue their issued-based advocacy work throughout the municipal election period.

Advertising that does not cost money to post or broadcast, such as comments made on social media, will not be considered to be third party advertising.

Who can register as a third parly advertiser?

Individuals, corporations and trade unions can register as third party advertisers and can also make contributions to third party advertisers. Third party advertisers will need to register with the Clerk of the City of Woodstock if they want to advertise.

Third party advertising must be done independently of candidates, who are not able to direct a third party advertiser. Further, candidates are not eligible to register as third party advertisers. Any advertisements or materials

Third party advertisers will have spending limits and there will be contribution limits for those wishing to contribute to a third party advertiser. Every third party advertiser is responsible for keeping financial records relating to their advertising campaign, opening a bank account exclusively for the advertising campaign and filing financial statements. All third party advertisers will be subject to compliance audit reviews if any elector believes they did not follow the election finance rules.

Campaigning Candidates and third party advertisers are required to identify themselves on campaign advertisements and signs, so that it is clear who is responsible for each sign and advertisement that appears or is broadcast.

How to Register The registration period for third party advertisers begins on Tuesday, May Ist and ends on Friday, October iQth. 2018. The campaign period only begins once the Clerk certifies your registration. Election expenses cannot be incurred and contributions cannot be accepted outside of the campaign period.

8 WHAT'S ON WOODSTOCK | May 2018

Downtown Woodstock BIA has a new manager. Virginia Armstrong started her new |ob in February, re-locating from the Tillsonburg BIA. where she was manager for about nine years.

She brings a wealth of organizational experience with her. She ran capital fund raising drives and managed the Virginia Armstrnng Station Arts Centre in Tillsonburg before moving here.

"Event planning, fund-raising and volunteering have been a huge part of my life since I was really young," she says. Plus, she points out, the challenges facing downtown Woodstock are very similar to downtown Tillsonburg.

"Downtowns everywhere, actually. I've been to international conferences, and it's the same issues everywhere - empty storefronts, downtown beautification — the challenges are the same but the goals of each individual down town may be different."

So what has she found the main differences between Tillsonburg and Woodstock are?

"Well, Woodstock is a city, for one thing," she says.

"The membership is bigger, the events are bigger."

She has planned Tillsonburg's big downtown event, Turtlefest (something about founder George Tillson vowing to come back as a turtle), which includes a big Turtlefest Block Party on Friday night, but Streetfest is larger, and longer.

Pier immediate priorities are the first big events coming up on the BIA calendar.

"We're definitely a go for the opening of the Downtown Farmers' Market May 17th," she says. Applications for vendors are already out, and she has already started a special appeal to volunteer groups in the city to have a presence at the market.

Armstrong sees the Woodstock position as an advancement in her career. She says she's been aware of what was happening in Woodstock and looks forward to the challenge.

"There's a great opportunity here, and Woodstock has been great at keeping their history and heritage — something a lot of towns haven't."

Armstrong currently sits on the Board of the Provincial Association of BIAs (OBIAA), and serves as its Communications Committee Chair. Therefore, she'd heard some things about Downtown Woodstock. " Phe big thing was the Dairy Capital connection — and the Friendly City. And it certainly is. People here have been very supportive, patient and understanding," she says.

"I've spent a lot of time in Woodstock, and look forward to working here."

Tips for Pruning Trees With snow melting, planting season is approaching which is a good time to prune your tree. A tree's natural shape is best for it, but pruning of damaged, diseased and/or hazardous branches is important.

However, please be aware, boulevard trees are owned and maintained by the City.

Pruning during early spring lets the tree heal without affecting active growth during the summer. However, for trees that lose excessive sap (maple, birch, elm, etc.) a mid-summer pruning is recommended.

When pruning a tree, safety is important. A spotter can help you stay safe and assist with the cleanup.

If you re not comfortable pruning sections of your tree, consider a tree service professional. Always plan your cut and how the branch will fall. If it is a larger branch, start from the end and cut small pieces toward the trunk.

V

Follow these 3 steps: 1. The first cut is made part way through the branch on the underside, a short distance from the trunk to which it is attached.

ft secoraj cut

irwa cui 2. A second cut is made from the top down, five to eight â&#x2013; in < bcOrtcn centimetres further out the cottt branch from the 1st cut. The Agriculture and weight of the branch will Agri-Food Canada, 2015 cause it to break free and fall outward without tearing any bark.

3. The third and final cut is made close to the trunk so as not to leave a stub. When removing live or dead branches, avoid cutting into the callus ("collar") tissue which has formed at the base of the branch.

The tree will not be able to heal properly without this growing tissue intact. Clean pruning is good pruning.

The City of Woodstock is hosting a tree pfanting day on April 28th at the Burgess Trail entrance at 4u3 Tecumseh Street.

Three new trails highlighted for Trails Day The Oxford County Trails Council will celebrate International Trails Day (June 2) with a weekend highlighting new trails near the city.

Dan Molinaro represents Woodstock's Recreation Advisory Committee on the Trails Council, and he says the weekend kicks off at Bethel School (Vansittart Wood Field Studies Centre on Blandford Road at Township Road 3) Friday, June 1, beginning at 3:00 p.m.

"There's a new Toyota trail," he says. "If you follow the trail through Vansittart Wood, it will link to trails Toyota has built at the west end of the Wood, which end up behind their test track."

There will be an official opening of this new trail, and tours of the field study centre will be offered from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.

1 'The trail is not truly groomed (like the ones in the City limits)" says Molinaro, "it's just a worn trail, but it's wellmarked, so it's easy to follow."

On Saturday June 2, the extended Hickson Trail will be the focus. This trail begins at the end of Frederick Street, north of Pittock and runs all the way to Hickson. flie trail runs east of Braemar Sideroad, and ends at the ballparks in Hickson."

Sunday's highlighted trail is the Thames River Trail, which was officially opened last year. This trail runs along the Thames River to the south and ends about a mile east of the Beachville Legion The Trails Council, with the cooperation of the Upper Thames Conservation Authority and the City of Woodstock continues to care for and expand the County's extensive trails system.

Joseph Hobson was, by all accounts, a brilliant engineer.

After all, it was he who designed the first underwater railroad tunnel in North America (at the St. Clair River), he was engineer for Waterloo County, and finally because the Chief Engineer of the Grand Trunk Railway in 1875. He liked to design eccentric little train stations, like the one in Gait, and the one in Woodstock.

Noted for its strange mix of Gothic and Italianate design, the Woodstock station is 1 considered one of the most % mnciful of all small-town Ontario train stations.

Tfej I ftst itntil riWi!! r. i John M. Grant was a tanner. Tanning is a process of extracting tannic acid from trees (oak and hemlock, mainly) and using it to change the chemical properties of animal hides, turning them into leather. Grant invented a way to speed up the oak bark tanning process. Oak bark was ground up, soaked, and the tannin extracted. Tanning leather with oak took over a year (and made the highest quality leather), but Grant found a way to do it quicker, becoming the toast of the American Oak Tanners and travelling to Germany to introduce Europeans to the system. He later became mayor of Woodstock (1882). Grant Street is named for him.

Chiropractic Clinic YOU UVE Woodstock's downtown streets are named mainly tor the British soldiers and former soldiers who founded what would become the main town plot of Woodstock. Once you move out of the downtown, however, you'll find all kinds of obscure street names that commemorate no less remarkable people who helped form the city.

One of the most remarkable is Hmcks Street, named for Sir Francis Hincks, elected to the very first Parliament of the United Canada in 1841 as a member for Oxford. Ten years later, he was Premier. He was a skillful negotiator — early in his career, he helped negotiate the Canada-US Reciprocity Agreement, the first free trade pact between the two countries. Later, he negotiated the ManitobaOntario border.

A Reformist and visionary, Hincks started the Bank of the People, which provided small loans to farmers across the province. His remarkable skills in finance kept the bank afloat through various financial crises until it was finally bought out by the Bank of Montreal — his final days were as Finance Minister in John A. MacDonald's cabinet. He also envisioned a cross-Canada railroad — in the 1850s. It later became the Grand Trunk, and is today CN. A land purchase scandal at the railroad chased Hincks from Provincial office, but he landed on his feet — becoming Governor of the Barbados He not only has a street named after him in Woodstock, but also in Bridgetown, Barbados.

Douglas St. is likely named for Scotsman John Douglas, a saddler by trade from Dundas, Ontario (via Montreal and Dumphries, Scotland). While in Dundas, he was convinced to move to Woodstock by Elijah Nellis (Nollis Street) and set up the town's first saddle shop.

Teeple Street is named for a soldier, Capt. Peter Teeple.

Born in Trenton, NJ, he was a captain in the loyalist New York Volunteers during the American War of Independence. He later fought at Lundy's Lane in the War of 1812.
