In a historical tie-breaking decision, Donna Big Canoe was declared the first female Chief of the Chip-pewas of Georgina when her name was ceremoni-ously pulled from a hat to break a 93-93 tie. The ballots were counted before a large crowd at the Georgina Island Community Centre when the polls closed on Mon-day evening, March 5. Chief candidates Lorraine Big Canoe and Donna Big Canoe were tied at 93 votes each and in keeping with the band electoral regulations, both names were put into a hat to determine a

winner. Electoral officer Sylvia McCue reached in

and dramatically pulled out Donna Big Canoe’s name. Four councilors were also elected to complete the band council that will man-age band affairs for the next two years. Both council incumbents Pat Big Canoe and William McCue were returned to office with strong support from band members and former Chief Brett Mooney won his bid for a seat on council. First time coun-cilor Kerry Ann Charles will take over the seat va-cated by Andrew Big Ca-noe.

The Pefferlaw Association of Ratepay-ers (PAR) is hosting an information session at the Pefferlaw Lions Hall on Wednesday, March 14 at 7:30 p.m. The group has invited speakers from the Brock and Georgina Against Gar-bage (BAG) activist group who are lobbying Durham Region and the Min-istry of the Environment to close the local Brock dump site located on the 17th Sideroad in Brock Township. The dump site sits on a creek that feeds into the Pefferlaw river and Lake Simcoe. According to PAR president Fronie Harpley, the information session will help answer questions residents of Pef-ferlaw may have concerning the effects of the dump on their health and the environment. “This is an issue that has made head-lines in several Ontario and local publi-cations and it will have an impact on the citizens of Pefferlaw as well as Brock Township,” Ms. Harpley said. Members of Georgina council have been invited to the session and inter-ested residents are invited to contact Ms. Harpley at (705) 437-2945 for further information.

Every single day I am over-whelmed by the generosity of time and spirit by the hundreds of volunteers in this commu-nity. Just in the past week I’ve talked to volunteers from the Scouts, Lions, Lioness, the Sut-ton Legion, the Sutton Curling Club, fishing tournaments, soc-cer club, baseball league, Eaglewood and the Pefferlaw Ratepayers. Many of these you know and I am sure you have supported any one of them at one time or another and I know for sure that their contribution to this community has touched you or a member of your family at some point. Another group of volunteers that you may not be as aware of are the people who donate their time for Street Cats. They have a website at www.streetcats.ca and I invite you to take a few minutes to browse through the site and see how these men and women have gone out of their way to find homes for stray and abandoned cats and kittens in our community. They rely completely upon the generosity of people and busi-nesses who donate to their cause with contributions of cat food, kitty litter, carrying cases etc. They hold craft sales, bake sales, home-made perogy sales and numerous other fund rais-ing events to raise money for vet bills and veterinarian sup-plies. In a recent email from Paola Dipaolo, the group is desperate

to provide permanent homes for the many cats and kittens they have rescued over the winter. Right now these animals have been sheltered in foster homes and these are at capacity. “We have so many cats in fos-ter care right now and adop-tions are so slow that we cannot take in any new cats,” Ms. Di-paolo said. So if you or someone you know has a place in their heart and in their home for a new pet, please give Street Cats a call at (705) 437-2125. Karen Wolfe, Editor

Property taxes will go up in 2007 After a grueling 10 hour budget session on Tuesday, February 27, the council for the Town of Georgina agreed to submit a 2007 budget that will see taxes on a $219,000 home go up by $86.34. And, once the regional budget and education budget numbers are factored in, the taxes on that $219,000 home will cost taxpayers a total of $138 more this year. Highlights of this year’s budget reflect the greening of Georgina and include money for a three-stream waste collection system

that will result in residents using new compost bins for food waste. The new program will begin in September when gar-bage collection will be reduced from once a week to once every two weeks. All household waste that does not fit into one bag will require a $1 garbage tag but contents of both the blue box and the green bin will be col-lected once a week. Council also directed the roads

department to begin using bio-fuels in town vehicles in 2007 instead of regular gasoline—a move that is expected to in-crease fuel costs by approxi-mately four per cent. “We have been the leaders in the past in waste diversion,” Mayor Grossi said, “and we have to take a leadership role with this.” Two other initiatives included in the budget are $100,000 that has been earmarked for a future greenhouse gas reduction initia-tive and approval to hire an eco-

nomic development officer. Of the total $23,754,569 final town tax budget to be levied, capital expenditures will claim 18 per cent and fire services will take up nearly 16 per cent. Roads and sidewalk commit-ments come in third with 12.8 per cent and administration costs will take up 12.7 per cent of the budget. See page 4 for programs in this area that will be supported in the 2007 budget.

A number of local initiatives were ap-proved by council in the 2007 town budget that will see improvements to community centres and leisure services in this area. The Pefferlaw ice pad proposal, which has $189,000 from the 2006 budget was given an extra $120,000 from this year’s budget. Plans for the facility include a covered natural ice surface to be located on the Pefferlaw Lions Community Hall site. The project is expected to get underway sometime in 2007. The Pefferlaw Lions Club, a service group responsible for founding the hall and which has been paying rent to use it ever since it was turned over to the town, were finally recognized for their contributions and future rents have been forgiven by the town. This gives the club the same treat-ment as other service clubs in Georgina and allows them to use the money they raise for other worthwhile projects in the community. This change also means that the Leisure Services Department of the Town will take over the day to day management of the hall which was previously conducted

by the Pefferlaw Hall Board. With the dissolution of the Hall Board, anyone wishing to rent the hall will need to re-serve it by calling the town offices. The septic system at the hall will also be replaced in 2007. In addition, town council approved a $50,000 expenditure to pay for a spring and summer mosquito study that will identify mosquito species and breeding sites. The results of this study are ex-pected to give council the information it needs to make a decision on a future lar-vicide program. The furnace in the Port Bolster Hall will be replaced in 2007 and the Eaglewood Folk Festival will receive $10,000 to help stage the 2007 event in August. A request from The Pefferlaw Association of Ratepayers for $3,500 to help with costs for their Pefferlaw Picnic was also approved. Additional financial resources to bring broadband to the Pefferlaw and Udora area was discussed during budget negotia-tions but a decision was deferred until after a public meeting on March 19 with the developers of the system. See page 6.

Additional funding of nearly $630,000 from the McGuinty government will be used to conduct threat and risk assess-ments on municipal drinking water sys-tems which will include two surface wa-ter intake locations in the Town of Geor-gina. According to Don Goodyear, the Man-ager of Source Water Protection for the Georgian Bay Watershed Region team at the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA), the money will sup-port technical work that conservation authorities in the South Georgian Bay/Lake Simcoe Watershed region will un-dertake early this spring. “The Town of Georgina has two surface water intakes on Lake Simcoe and we will be defining the intake protection zones for each one,” Mr. Goodyear said. These intakes are located at both the Kes-wick and Sutton water treatment plants. The initial scope of work will be a threat assessment of both locations and the re-sults of these will be used to conduct a risk assessment. “This technical work will then be submit-ted to the Source Protection Committee at the province which will wrap policy around the results, Mr. Goodyear said, adding the policies will then be used as the basis for a source protection plan. All of the funding and work on the sur-face water assessments are part of a $120 million funding initiative to support the development of source protection plans required by the new Clean Water Act. In addition to the work by the LSRCA, York Region will be conducting ground water threat and risk assessments using monies it has received under the same initiative.

The Sutton Curling Club hosted a Spaghetti Spiel on Saturday afternoon for club members. Eight six-member teams took to the ice and com-peted as either a blue team member or a red team member. The blue team members won the competition and went home with a gift certificate for wine and the red team members who only lost by a few points, took home pasta and sauce. Spouses played on the opposite team resulting in a pasta dinner with wine as a take home prize for each couple. A good time was had by all!

Members of the 1st Pefferlaw Scouting organization held their Annual Apprecia-tion Banquet on Saturday, March 3 which provided an opportunity to recognize the 100th Anniversary of Scouting and make presentations to local service clubs who have supported 1st Pefferlaw Scouting activities over the years. The Pefferlaw organization began in 1974 and today includes 25 members enrolled in one of five scouting troops: the Beaver Colony (age 5-7); the Cub Pack (age 8-10); the Scout Troop (age 11-14); the Adventure Company (age 14-15); and the Rover Crew (age 16-18). In 1998, the organization passed a motion affirming that it was a fully co-ed organi-zation and the name was changed from the Boy Scouts of Canada to Scouts Can-ada.

The South Shore Community Broadband enterprise is again asking the Town of Georgina for financial assistance to help them complete their wireless network in the Pefferlaw and Udora area so residents there can access the internet using broadband technology. To date, the Town of Georgina has given the group a $75,000 grant, a loan of $200,000 and have co-signed a loan at the Bank of Montreal for $400,000. The most recent request is for an additional loan of $250,000. According to Margaret Hy-varinen, the General Manager of South Shore Broadband, additional financial resources are needed to help them solve an interference problem that has unexpectedly appeared on the 2.4 gigahertz spectrum the company is using to deliver broadband services. “Someone is polluting the air and we have to find the source,” she said. The interference first appeared in Baldwin and was detected in the equipment recently installed in Pefferlaw and until its source can be identified, further work on the network cannot proceed. Ms. Hyvarinen said that Indus-try Canada was in the area last week with a $2 million wireless laboratory to help them identify the noise and its source. “We have found the noise and narrowed it down to three pos-sible sources,” Ms. Hyvarinen said adding that Industry Can-ada will be back with their equipment to do additional work. In the meantime, South Shore Broadband is considering new equipment that will allow them to work in spectrums outside the 2.4 gigahertz spectrum. “We have started migrating toward other equipment that will work at lower and higher frequencies,” Ms. Hyvarinen said, “and we will continue working outside the 2.4 spec-trum until we get it cleaned up.”

According to Ms. Hyvarinen, the cost of the 2.4 equipment was initially less than other equipment systems, “but now the above and below equipment systems are more in-line with the cost of the 2.4. We can switch technologies on the fly without passing huge costs onto the customer,” she said. Ms. Hyvarinen said customers who subscribe to broadband technologies will get a symmet-rical internet connection that will allow them to upload and download at the same speed. “Broadband and high speed are not the same thing,” she said adding that high speed has a faster down load than up load and the two South Shore Com-munity Broadband services that are being offered are at mini-mum, 300 times faster than high speed. One service will upload and download three megabits per second and the other will upload and download 10 megabits per second. To date, the company, which is a not-for-profit enterprise, has completed 60 sq. kilometers of network at a cost of $1 million. “This compares to the six kilo-meters of network that the City of Toronto has paid $60 million for,” Ms. Hyvarinen said. As a not-for-profit, Ms. Hy-varinen said South Shore Broadband is a community run organization and as such, any surplus revenues will be used to maintain the network and pro-vide service free-of-charge to under-privileged members of the community. The request for additional fund-ing from the Town was debated during the 2007 budget negotia-tions and a decision was de-ferred until council could meet with principals from South Shore Broadband. A public meeting has been arranged for March 19 at 7:00 at the Civic Centre and council is expecting to get definite timelines for the com-pletion of the network and assurances that it will work.

Over 40 local anglers re-sponded to a call by Barry Lance to participate in the 1st Annual Roger Kett Me-morial Ice Fishing Tourna-ment held Friday, March 2 at Pefferlaw Fish Huts at the Peninsula Resort. Roger Kett, who passed away last year, was an avid ice fisherman and long-time Sutton volunteer firefighter.

By all accounts everyone had a great time and some even caught a few fish.

It’s all a bit of déjà vu. Forty years ago, 15-year old Delbert Metherel played his first gig as a musician at the Wilfrid Hall when he and a few of his Brock High School buddies pulled together a rock and roll band and played before a local audi-ence that had peered inside to see what all the fuss was about. Now, Delbert and his musician partner of nearly35 years, Brian Wakelin, return to the Wilfrid Hall as the Wolfgang Brothers to help the Eaglewood Folk Festival raise money to support their annual music festival held at Eagle-wood Re-sort in Pef-ferlaw every sum-mer. As one of the head liners that will appear on Satur-day, March 10, Brian and Delbert will enter-tain the crowd with various new and classic numbers for which they are known. “The Wolfgang Brothers are legends in these parts,” says Kevin Fullbrook, emcee for the evening. “They have had a hand in most of the music played around here since the 1960s and they are still laying it down smooth and delightful.” The boys met in high school and have made a living playing together touring the country as the Wolfgang Brothers ever since. They have opened for such acts as Johnny Paycheck, Ian and Sylvia Tyson and Chris Whitely. In the 70s and 80s, they re-leased a few singles and an LP

which included fan favorites such as “Baby Won’t You Cook Me Breakfast” and “Long into the Night.” As a young musician, Delbert remembers playing with the Fabulous Belvederes, a Belve-dere Hotel house band that in-cluded Don Fickle, Blaine Full-brook and Vince McIntyre. “We developed a very suppor-tive fan base in this area in the 70s and that has carried us through the whole time,” said Delbert. In spite of their musical talents, (Delbert plays stand-up bass

and the drums and Brian plays the guitar, banjo and harmon-ica) the duo stopped playing full-time a number of years ago which gave them the oppor-tunity to pursue other in-

terests. “Brian is retired from the hydro and I have a contract-ing and renovation business,” Delbert said adding that most of their gigs today include playing in the area at private functions and benefits. More recently, they have hooked up with an old alumni and are putting the finishing touches on a new CD which they hope to release this sum-mer. The Wolfgang Brothers join Robert Benoit, the Georgina Community Drum Circle and Mike Rowbottom at “Another Big Night Out” to be held at the Wilfrid Hall on Saturday, March 10.

The little company that grows...and grows...and grows From its humble beginnings as a grower of natural herbs such as Echinacea, St. John’s wort and milk thistle seed, the Pefferlaw area company, Faunus Herbs Inc. has grown into one of the world’s leading sin-gle-source suppliers of restorative medici-nal products. Nick Morcinek moved to his wife Karin’s family farm in 1985 where they used their experience and knowledge as herbalists to grow, harvest, formulate, manufacture, package and ship millions of organic herbal products world wide. As the past Executive Secretary for the International Or-ganic Crop Im-provement Associa-tion, Nick was in-volved in writing the original stan-dards for the manu-facture of organic herbal products in Canada, U.S. and globally and he regularly consults with medical pro-fessionals to formu-late new and effec-tive organic herbal treatments. “We distribute world-wide exclusively to the medical profession which includes MDs, naturopaths and chiropractors,” Nick said. In addition, Faunus Herbs Inc. is a contract manufacturer for large medical distributors. On the 170-acre farm, the company grows hundreds of different kinds of organic herbal plants which are harvested and processed into ingredients used for pro-prietary medicinal formulas that address everything from menopause to the com-mon cold.

In addition to Nick and Karin, 10-12 people are employed at Faunus Herbs to help meet the demands of an exploding international marketplace. According to published studies and re-ports, the herbal products market is esti-mated to be between $80 and $250 bil-lion U.S. and is growing at a rate of 20 per cent a year. Companies wishing to keep pace, must be at-the-ready and lead-ing edge in everything from manufactur-ing techniques to its labour force to com-munications capabilities. Nick quickly and easily credits much of

his company’s success to the com-mitment and dedi-cation of his highly skilled and knowl-edgeable work-force. “We are all partners in this and no one person is more im-portant than anyone else,” Nick said. Another piece of the company’s suc-cess strategy is Nick’s passionate embrace of leading

edge communications technologies. Being far removed from access to main-stream communications for internet con-nections, Nick had to devise his own dedi-cated high speed transmission system to make sure he could compete on the world stage right along side his competitors. “A lot of our business is done over the internet and we needed high speed capabil-ity,” he said, adding that he is starting to investigate the benefits of voice-over tech-nology which would help him eliminate costly telephone lines.

By making sure Faunus Herbs is ahead of the pack, Nick and Karin have been able to record a few firsts in North America’s or-ganic herbal marketplace. “We were the first company to introduce isoflavone hormone regulating capsules. We were the first company to ship certified organically-grown Canadian Echinacea across the country and we were the first to introduce 100 per cent vegetable-based creams and capsules. In fact, everything that Faunus manufactures and distributes is vegetable based. And for those of us who never get to hear what the weather details are for Pefferlaw, Nick has built his own weather station with its own website that gives local farmers and residents details of high and low tem-peratures, barometer, dewpoint, and hu-midity readings. The station also provides UV index, wind speed and historical meas-urements for rain and various other weather-related parameters. Visit www.faunusherbs.com/weather/wx.htm As the company that grows continues to grow, Nick’s recipe for success—his em-ployees, technological innovation and quality products—will continue to lead the way in this fast growing market.

Employee Sandra Toth is suited up in health and safety gear as she runs the encapsula-tion machine that manufactures 100,000 capsules in a single shift.

Operations Manager Darlene McIntyre was the first Faunus Herb employee and began 14 years ago planting Echinacea.
