Going to “PRINT”!

Editorial

By Shelly Sargent

In the 9 months since we started publishing our online magazine “CALEDON TODAY”, we’ve seen pretty strong growth & consistent readership. There is no question that the area was ready for such a publication.

Putting out a magazine - even one that is paperless - is a labour of love and an exercise in dedication.

And we do love our paperless, flip-page magazine. We have been very proud to be providing a paperless source of information and news to the area… but we have come to realize that the realities of living in Caledon’s rural hills make such a product challenging to read for many residents. The time is NEARLY here for paperless magazines, but not quite...

Of course, I’m referring to the fact that many of Caledon’s

rural areas don’t have access to high speed internet - something that is almost essential in order to view Caledon Today properly.

And so, a while ago we started looking at doing a limited-run print edition. Our plan was not to replace the online magazine, but to utilize print to service the readership in area’s where residents & businesses can’t access our online product because they don’t have reliable high speed internet.

But as we worked on the idea, we started receiving more and more submissions from areas just outside of the Town of Caledon, and this, in turn, led us to increase the scope of the magazine to include a larger, more diversified coverage area.

Pulse Magazine. We will continue to serve Caledon, but will now be increasing our coverage area to include news & events from Orangeville, Nobleton & Brampton as well.

Up to now, Caledon Today was published weekly. When it is replaced by Pulse Magazine, we will issue both print and online versions (identical to each other) once a month throughout the year. Each issue will feature a mix of news, current events, sports and entertainment news.

We look forward to serving the local area as we always have, and hope you enjoy each new issue of Pulse! Happy reading!

On Oct. 26th...

...Go Hands-Free or Hang Up On October 26th, Ontario's new rules prohibiting cell phone use while driving will go into effect. And although its a good idea to obey the ban from day one, a three-month "grace" period will precede the enforcement, according to a government release issued recently.

Then, beginning on Feb. 1, 2010, drivers will be fined up to $500 if they are caught chatting, dialing, texting or emailing on hand-held devices.

Statistics show that drivers are four times more likely to have an accident when they're using a cell phone. Dialing the phone and texting are even more dangerous.

"It is not safe to be texting, emailing or dialing a phone when you are driving a vehicle. Now it is also illegal," said Transportation Minister Jim Bradley in a news release.

Emergency services workers, including police, paramedics and firefighters will be exempt from the hand-held ban and drivers will be allowed to use their hand-held phones to call 911. For the time being, so will ham radio operators, long included in the "emergency services" category.

Sources with the Peel Amateur Radio Club tell us that they will only have that exemption for a few more years, and then will be expected to go through an expensive retrofit process to ensure their mobile transceivers are hands-free capable.

If you wish to continue using your communications device while driving and your device isn’t already equipped with hands-free technology, now would be a good time to look into it.

Quick Facts •

•

•

Under Ontario's new law, fines of up to $500 can be levied against drivers who text, type, email, dial, or chat using a prohibited hand-held device.

Ontario joins more than 50 countries worldwide & a growing number of Canadian provinces which have similar distracted driving legislation including Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Teens & young people under 35 are the most frequent users of cell phones while driving.

OPP PARTICIPATES IN NATIONAL SAFE DRIVING INITIATIVE TO SAVE LIVES: “OPERATION IMPACT” The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is making preparation for its annual participation in Operation Impact, a Canadawide traffic safety initiative aimed at making the nation’s highways the safest in the world. Operation Impact runs over the Thanksgiving Long Weekend beginning Friday October 9, through to Monday October 12, 2009.

Operation Impact is an enforcement-driven traffic initiative designed to increase public awareness and compliance with safe driving measures whose goal is to save lives.

The OPP strategy for Operation Impact will be to focus on impaired driving, aggressive driving and occupant restraint use. The other part of the initiative is an education campaign in raising the public’s awareness and addressing the importance of safe driver behaviour.

The OPP will be committing all available resources over the Thanksgiving Long Weekend not only on OPP patrolled roads but also on waterways and trails. To assist front line officers in this initiative, the OPP will be taking to the skies by utilizing two aircraft that will be targeting aggressive drivers and speeders.

“The tragedy of losing a loved one to traffic collisions has touched most of us” said OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino.

“Last year during the Thanks-

giving Long Weekend we saw 9 persons needlessly lose their lives in motor vehicle collisions on OPP patrolled highways.” He added, “This year, if we are to reach our goal of making our roads the safest they can be, our officers will need the public to make a commitment to safe driving.”

This upcoming long weekend is traditionally one of the busiest on Ontario highways as people head to their cottages and visit family for the final long weekend of what is referred to as the summer driving season. “OPP members across the province will be highly visible and there will be no tolerance for unsafe operators” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey Provincial Commander responsible for Traffic Safety.

Chief Superintendent Bill Grodzinski, Commander of the 8

Highway Safety Division sums up the OPP’s objective for this initiative by stating, “Operation Impact is supported by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and Transport Canada and is part of Road Safety Vision 2010, which has a goal of making Canada’s roads the safest in the world by 2010. It is also part of the OPP’s Provincial Traffic Safety Program. The key part of traffic enforcement is to save lives and reduce serious injuries on our roadways, trails and waterways”.

King Wins In it’s Category for Communities In Bloom On October 3rd, the City of Vaughan, Ontario hosted the 15th Edition of the Communities in Bloom National Awards Ceremony, honouring municipalities from Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland and Japan.

Communities in Bloom is a volunteerbased, non-profit organization that is committed to fostering civic pride, environmental awareness and municipal beautification through community involvement and the challenge of a national program.

The Township of King and its citizens have competed in Communities in Bloom since 2002. After winning the Provincial title in 2006, they were invited to compete at the National level.

Every year of participation has brought an award of five blooms to the Township (the highest rating possible).

10

This year, King was awarded 867.75 out of a possible 1,000 points, beating out seven other communities from across Canada within the 10,001 to 20,000 population category.

Communities in Bloom is a Canadian non-profit organization committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility, and beautification through community involvement and the challenge of a national program, with focus on the promotion of green spaces in urban settings.

In King Township, citizens have always taken pride in their historically picturesque villages and hamlets.

Through participation in Communities in Bloom, King Township’s residents, community organizations, and businesses have been encouraged, and their efforts highlighted during the annual Judges' Tour.

Don't fall behind this November when the clocks turn back

The first week of November means the end of Daylight Savings Time (DST). The change from DST to Standard Time can be a challenge for some people and can produce adverse affects. If caught unprepared, the time change can influence your energy level, mood, coordination and ability to concentrate.

The following tips will make the transition easier by helping to reset your internal clock and make the most of a twenty-five hour day.

Wake-up more naturally Moving clocks and schedules back one hour allows for more daylight in the afternoon, but also leaves people in the dark for an extra hour each morning. Similar to changing time-zones, the end of DST can disrupt sleep patterns leaving you feeling tired and restless. Philips new Wake-up Light offers a more natural way of waking up, compared to the traditional annoying buzz of an alarm clock. Mimicking a natural sunrise, the Wake-up light gradually increases light in the bedroom, stimulating your body during wake-up, leaving you rested and refreshed for the day.

Stay one step ahead of the change Give your body additional time to adjust by heading to bed 15 minutes early each day for four days before standard time officially starts. This way, you can gradually get used to the lost hour without throwing your routine out of sync. Expand this idea to include all

of your evening plans: Eat dinner 15 minutes early, schedule exercise accordingly, and begin your bedtime habits (reading a magazine or book) early as well.

Illuminate your energy needs The original rationale for implementing DST in the summer included an energy-saving aspect due to fewer lights, and appliances running an extra hour during the night. With long Winter nights ahead, ensure you're doing your part by replacing your inefficient incandescent bulbs with greener options.

Halogen, compact fluorescent and lightemitting diodes (LED) bulbs provide energyefficient choices that are sustainable and suitable for every lighting need in your home.

With a little dedication and planning this fall you can align your internal clock with the one on your bedside table, and enjoy every bright minute of the day.

In Ontario, Daylight Savings Time Ends on the first Sunday of November, which means that at 2am on the morning of Sunday, November 7th, you can turn your clock back one hour.

While you are at it, take a moment that same weekend to review your fire safety plan with your family, and to check all your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure the batteries are fresh & the units are operational.

Jade Scognamillo - Determination & Heart

T

own of Caledon Mayor Marolyn Morrison and Members of Council recently congratulated Caledon resident Jade Scognamillo on her successful swim to raise funds for the SickKids Foundation and the Headwaters Health Care Centre.

At 9:33 p.m. on July 31, 2009, Jade Scognamillo set out to complete a fundraising swim across Lake Ontario.

A last-minute thunderstorm delayed her start and, with waves up to six feet in height, and conditions were certainly dangerous and challenging. Undaunted, Jade was determined to achieve her goal of swimming across the lake and meeting her self-imposed completion time of 20 hours.

At the October 6, 2009 Town of Caledon Council meeting, Mayor Marolyn Morrison and Members of Council congratulated the Caledon teenager, not only for achieving her goal but for her community spirit and desire to give back.

“On behalf of all of Council, and the Town of Caledon, we are so excited about what you have accomplished and proud that you call Caledon home,” said Mayor Marolyn Morrison. “We extend our congratulations to you, Jade, and your entire support team. Together you raised over $46,000 for the SickKids Foundation, a wonderful organization that touches so many lives.”

12

Jade is the youngest person to swim across Lake Ontario. In addition to the funds raised for the SickKids Foundation, Jade also raised $5,000 for the Headwaters Health Care Centre in Orangeville.

Despite not feeling well at times throughout the swim, Jade beat her 20-hour goal by completing the swim in 19 hours, 59 minutes and 49 seconds. She credits the SickKids logo painted on her fingernails as her inspiration.

Jade was born in Britain on December 8, 1993. Her swim of Lake Ontario was not her first long distance swim, or her first record… Her historical 5 hour and 40 minute swim across Lake Erie already sits on the record books but when that swim took place, (see photo above) Jade was still a British citizen. This time a grant of citizenship was offered by The Honourable Jason Kenny, Minister

Hungry?

of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, and on Canada Day 2009, Jade became a Canadian citizen during a special swearing in ceremony at the Albion Hills Conservation Area in Caledon.

Jade’s mother, Jane, attributes her daughter’s success to her sheer determination. “Even as a toddler, Jade’s grandfather would say ‘She’s going to be Prime Minister one day’,” said Mrs. Scognamillo.

“She’s always been a determined person.”

Jade herself takes it all in stride.

“I’ve achieved my goal and I’m really pleased,” she said. “I believe it’s better to go for your goals - not just talk about what you want to achieve, but to actually go for it.

But, I have many people to thank, like my primary sponsors, Kinetico Canada – based here in Caledon.

It’s also great to be able to personally thank the Town, the people who live here and supported me, and Mayor Morrison and Council.

Everyone was just so supportive and wonderful.”

And as each Councillor individually congratulated Jade, and shared stories of personal connections with Toronto’s Sick Kids’ Hospital, Mayor Morrison summed up the sentiment of Council and staff: “Jade, we’re all thrilled to be able to congratulate you in person. You are an amazing role model.”

Unfortunately, they often come with monster price tags. At this tasting Daniel will search the LCBO shelves to find "big reds" at moderate prices, nothing over $20.00. The wines will come from allover; the common thread being that rich, mouth-filling flavours we are all looking for. The menu will match the wines, so this will be a heady experience. $69.00 per person Visit http://www.danielsofnobleton.com/coming_events.html for menu details & reservation info.
