Re: Grant Request, 2003
Dear Mayor Craig and Members of Council:
I am writing on behalf of the Board of Abbeyfield Housing Society of Shanty Bay, to thank
your for your on-going support for O'Brien House in the form of a grant of one thousand
dollars from the Township's budget for 2003.
We are truly grateful for the support Council has provided to O'Brien House since the
project's inception. As you are perhaps aware, we are in the midst of our first Annual Appeal
to the many 'friends and extended family' of O'Brien House, and are heartened by the
response. What your generosity, and that of other donors says to us, is that the value of a
resource such as this is widely understood, and that many people are prepared to share in the
responsibility of ensuring its on-going success. Thank you.
Sincerely,
c. j ><-, L "'<, n_

Pro~rams
We offered a special EasterProgram on Thursday afternoon, April 17 for children
from 2-6 years. It was fully registered within a week. Crystal Dolson, an Early
Childhood Education student from Georgian College planned and executed the
program. The children had a great time listening to Easter stories, going on an
egg hunt and meeting and petting a lamb. Staff member Pat Hopkins brought in
the lamb from her farm. Both Pat and the circulation staff made a great effort to
give the children this special treat... thank you!
We increased the number of Story hours given this month because of the
addition of the Caregivers Story time on Mondays, which continues to be popular
with full registration.
All story time programs are going well with full registration.
Saturday Explorers Club is going strong with three programs offered in April.

Professional Development
Kelly, Michelle, and Lee attended a Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS)
workshop Telling Tales Out of School: Storytelling for Schoo/ Age Children at
Aurora Public Library on April 23. All three came back enthused about telling
tales, asking me to order books suggested as sources for storytelling. We were
asked to supply someone to tell stories at Guthrie Public School, Michelle
volunteered to tell a number of the stories she had learned at the workshop.
Staff
Crystal Dolson, an ECE student at Georgian College, completed a four week
placement with Children's Services. Crystal did a great job. Both parents and
children enjoyed her programs. Crystal led Tales for Twos, Preschool Stories,
and the Easter Program. She also enthusiastically took on the task of designing
two bulletin boards and started working on our Summer Reader's Club Bulletin
Board.
Children's Services staff meetings were held on April 9 and April 23 to make final
planning details for the Summer Reader's Club. This year's theme is "20,000
Reads Under the Sea". To add a fun game to the program we will be
incorporating some of the ideas from Survivor-including voting staff members
off the Island.
Publicity and Outreach
In house material displays included Easter and spring books.
The Spring Storytime Brochure was produced and the Web Page updated.

MONTHLY REPORT
DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES
APRIL 2003
Jayne had another sell-out crowd at the April program presented by Bob Bowles on the
Galapagos. Forty-nine people attended and his talk was wel1-received. The program in
May will be stories from the History of Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching presented by
Monica Frim, author of the book, The Secrets ofthe Lakes.
Jayne also attended the fundraising conference at Georgian Col1ege . Mark Climie was
the keynote speaker: he has planned successful fundraising initiatives for the Arthritis
Society, the Canadian Cancer Society and the Toronto Humane Society.
I attended the Ontario Genealogical Conference on Aprillih and participated in sessions
on Technology Tips and Tools; Doing Genealogy in the new Russia; and Researching
English Ancestors. Internet resources, as wel1 as the location of hard copy information,
were provided and sessions were most informative. Handouts and notes have been passed
on to Information Services staff.
I was invited to attend a literacy breakfast held at Georgian College by the Literacy
Network. It was an informal session of information exchange between institutions
delivering literacy programs in the area. Pamphlets were exchanged and upcoming events
were discussed. New needs were identified, as well.
The volunteer luncheon was a great success this year with fifty-eight volunteers
attending, along with a number of Library Board members and the Mayor of Orillia. A
great deal of time went into its preparation and staff pitched in to help Jayne as well, with
a very rewarding result.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF TECHNICAL SERVICES
APRIL 2003
Systems
In April we began this year's phase of our computer upgrade plan, expecting
to acquire a new LAN server and up to 8 PCs for staff and public use. The
Southern Ontario Library Service and Dell Computers have reached a
special pricing agreement which makes the Dell Optiplex PC substantially
cheaper for libraries to buy than through normal purchases. We estimate
that we will be able to save about 20% over Dell's best commercial price.
At the end of April we had some trouble with our Sun Cobalt internet server,
and kept losing services. The problem turned out to by a faulty Sun
upgrade patch. The trouble was rectified and things were back to normal
after several days.
Circulation
Our last Sunday being opened, at least for the time being, was April 27.
Average circulation for those days was 285 items, and average attendance
was 234. From the perspective of circulation activity, then Sunday openings
were successful, as expected.
Theresa Doubrough, our Sunday circulation clerk, informed us in April that
she would not be able to work for us after the last Sunday. Terri was a
friendly and energetic presence at the circulation desk, and we wish her
well.
Technical Processing
TP staff have instituted a new policy of marking catalogue records as "In
processing" until they are sent out to the shelves. This will help eliminate
the occasional confusion over where new materials might actually be as it
makes it's way through the department.
Kelly Smith started a project to clear up the records for our leased book
collections from Baker & Taylor and McNaughton. With Gail Matthews
away, we have not been returning any older materials to the leasing
companies, so Kelly is doing an overhaul of the whole leased book collection.

Dear, Friend
We would like to introduce you to an unusual and exciting event that you can become a part of It
tnvolves physically and mentaHy challenged adults, prisoners, and you. What do al1 these people have in
common? It's caned the "Exceptional Peoples Olympiad" and we are hoJding our 27'" Annual Olympiad this
year. With your help, we can make this year's event the best ever!
The Exceptional People's Olympiad provides an Olympic style event for developmentaJly challenged
adults. This registered non-profit; tax exempt charity is organized by inmates and hosted inside the wans of
Collins Bay Institution. The EPO takes place annuaUy during the third weekend in July when the inmates of
CoIlins Bay and their gracious supporters in the greater Kingston community play host to approximately 150
athletes coming trom centers across Ontario.
One of the most unique features of the EPO is that each athlete is paired with a prisoner who becomes
their Godbrother for this special event, becoming a friend, coach, companion and confidant for the weekend.
This responsibility often develops into a real and lasting friendship. It is not unusual to see the same athletes
and Godbrothers paired year after year.
Every year the EPO Committee must raise the funds to provide all accommodations and meals for the
atbJetes and their chaperones, as well as entertainment, event costs, and the traditional trophies and medals. In
addition, aU athletes are given an Olympiad package, containing such items as 2 silk-screened T-shirts with the
Olympiad's logo, gym bags, and hats.
Traditionally at least 50% of tbe funds to run the EPO have come directly from tbe inmates of CoHins
Bay through a variety of fund raisers. However, due to extensive renovations, since 1999 the population of
- CoJlins Bay has been greatly reduced, so we need your support more tban ever.
Donations of any size are always appreciated. Or, you or your organization may "Adopt-An-
. Athlete" with a donation of $300 or more, which pays for the support of one athlete for the weekend. Tax
exempt receipts are provided on all donations.
We welcome inquiries and comments. Contact us via EPO Liaison Officer, Mr. Doug Senior Monday-
Friday between 8-4pm at (613) 536-6320 or (613) 536-6226 or Fax (613) 536-401].
In the Olympiad Spirit,

Oro Medonte Council
PO Box 100
Oro, Ontario
Re: Safety Zone around East Oro Public School
In October of 2000, the school council of East Oro Public School, along with the Principal and the
Community Policing Foundation, requested that the speed limit around East Oro Public School be reduced.
Included in that proposal it was also recommended by all stakeholders that a proper crosswalk be installed
to ensure the safety of our children on their way to and from school. Since that time only fluorescent school
signs have been installed and nothing else. There has been no reduction in the speed limit and it was also
noted that council decided against a proper crcsswalk because there were not enough children. As parents
and grandparents you must have some concerns over the safety of the children that reside in our community.
The intersection in questions is very dangerous. Very few motorists abide by the posted speed limit, which
is 60kmlhr. As a school community we feel that more controls need to be in place to keep our children
safe. There are no sidewalks, and in winter the children are forced to walk on the road. Snow banks are
high, road conditions and visibility can be poor and these facts all contribute to a dangerous situation. In
our minds it does not matter if there are twelve or twelve hundred children crossing the road, they are all
precious to us and councils decision to ignore this situation is totally unacceptable.
In general, kids lack good judgments about traffic and on the following page you will find some very
interesting facts that support our concerns. This council needs to recognize that, even though the numbers
are small, the numbers are not relevant, the lives are.
We strongly recommend that council consider the following recommendations: declare the school zone as a
school safety zone which includes flashing school signs from the hours of8:30 am until 5:00pm, , a posted
40km/hr speed limit, a proper crosswalk, a four way stop and regular policing of this area. Motorists who
disobey the speed limits would be subject to increased fines. We are very serious about our children's
safety and council's decision to implement the above recommendations would ensure that our elected
council representatives are also serious about the safety of our children.
Please do not wait until a tragedy occurs before you take action.
Thank you, for you immediate attention to this matter

The following statistics have been taken from Safe Kids Canada and the
Ministry of Transportation websites.
~ Approximately 115 children die in Canada each year, due to pedestrian
injuries
~ Close to 1800 children and youths are hospitalized each year due to
pedestrian injuries
~ 5-9 year olds are at the greatest risk
~ Children under nine years of age need supervision when they cross the street
~ Children under nine do not have the ability to make safe judgments about
traffic because they are not developmentally ready to make good choices on
their own. Their level of thinking and physical coordination prevents them
from judging whether or not a situation is safe.
~ Children under nine may not act appropriately in an emergency especially if
they are nervous or scared
~ Young children can't see out the corner of their eyes as well as adults can,
they are unable to use information from their peripheral field of vision
~ The direction of various sounds e.g. A siren, is often difficult for children to
determine. Children are known to turn the wrong way when searching for a
sound.
~ Children's sense of perception is different than that of adults. They may
think that large cars move faster than small ones do, or that narrow streets
are less dangerous than wider ones.
~ Young children can't pull together all the pieces of information they need to
when they are in an emergency
~ Children lack a sense of vulnerability. They don't understand that a car can
seriously hurt or kill them if they collide
~ Children have difficulty judging how fast a vehicle is moving towards them
or how far the vehicle is away from them
~ Children like to keep moving, they may be impulsive in getting where they
are going, even though they have been taught how to cross the road safely.
Children can be easily distracted
~ Children may simply believe that grown-ups will look out for them. They
think that if they can see an adult driving a car toward them, the driver must
be able to see them too.
For all of the facts stated, we believe it necessary to take every precaution
available to protect our children. It also includes the belief that proper safety
measures need to be made at the crossing of the 15th/16th sideroad and line 11.
Our children depend on us to keep them safe.

Dear Marilyn,
On behalf of the Ora Hills Property Owners Association and as President, I wish to request the fee of $12. per
hour be waived for our meetings at the Community Policing Hall located on the 4th Concession. The OHPOA has
2 meetings a year (spring & fall) with approximately 46 members in attendance. In the past. our meetings have
been held at a designated home but our numbers have increased to the point where this has become difficult. It
is the feeling of the Association that a rate payers meeting should not fall under the same guidelines as a social
function. Please advise at your earliest convenience. Thank you in advance for your efforts on our behalf.

This is to advise our member municipalities that the Council of Oro-
Medonte has requested the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority
(NVCA) expand its area of jurisdiction to include Northern Oro-Medonte.
The NVCA expansion of services includes that portion of Oro-Medonte
not currently serviced by either the NVCA or Lake Simcoe Region
Conservation Authority. The expansion is pursuant to the Conservation
Authorities Act, Section 10.
By way of this correspondence, the Council of each Municipality within
the jurisdiction of the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority and
within the area of expansion (Oro-Medonte) are hereby given notice of a
meeting for the enlargement of the Authority to be held on June 13, 2003
at 11 :00 a.m. at the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority, Tiffin
Centre for Conservation, J.L. Jose Building, 8195 8th Line, Utopia, Essa
Township, On. A quorum of two-thirds (2/3) of the representatives of
the affected area is required for this meeting to occur. Each
Municipality is encouraged to direct their NVCA representative(s) to
attend this meeting.
A joint resolution will be presented and voted on at this meeting and a
two-third (2/3) majority vote is required to pass the motion to enlarge the
Authority. The anticipated effective date for the expansion is September
1, 2003.

1689 Old Barrie Rd.
E V:! Lot 11 Conc 3 Oro Medonte
Dear Elected Officials:
Re: Minor Variance to allow Moto - Cross racing on Lot 11 W V:! Conc 3 Ora Medonte
for 4 events this summer.
..
If you vote in favor of these events, then we know that our council is in favor of
youth recreational events as such to occur within this township. Similar events take place
at Hardwood Hills, Horseshoe Valley, Mt St Louis and Burl's Creek.
As far as most of the concerns brought forth at the open public meeting on May
21,2003, most are very irrelevant.
"
Environmental concerns, re atmosphere and ecological, parking, garbage,
sewage, destruction of topsoil, operations in a wetland, destroying a creek with fish etc.
have been already addressed by the landowner Mr. John Graham.
This stream goes dry in the summer so it does not support fis~ the landlord has
also created an earthen berm between the track and the stream. Drainage pipes have been
installed to move excess runoff from the upper side of the field to the stream bed.
Numerous Porta-potties are available at each race and each race is only one part day.
The landlord has ample grassed parking for these events 10 - 20 acreas and keeps the
vehicles off the roadway with a extra long drive.
The only real concern that may be a problem is the noise in the country. Is this a
rural setting or a residential area? Why were there not more complaints last year? The
main dissidents live on Duruy Lane which is buffered by 2 kIn of woodland to the south.
These individuals stirred up the fear mongering visiting many households on lines 1,2,3
and Old Barrie Rd. to spearhead petitions and initiate spokespeople to complain at the
public meeting. Some attending this meeting on May 21,2003 lived as far as 3 kIn. from
the track. Last year while the race was on, the landlord drove his 4-wheeler to this
distance to check for noise disturbance, it was minimal. The prevailing wind on race day
determines who will and who won't hear the track events. Living next door we hear all
the starts and when we show cattle at the fairs with midways we are glad that they have
been exposed to a variety of noises and an abundance of people.
;'!t
During the last few days, we have put lots of thought into this report. As I hear as
many as 10 gravel trucks every 5 minutes five days a week from 5 am to 5 pm for the
entire summer, I suppose this is not noise. Our animals are more fiightened by the Snow
Birds because they hear a noise that they cannot see the source.
Ora Medonte Township is for children too not just the piano players and not just
for wealthy semi - retired voters that can not tolerate another human for 3 or 4 days of
the year. Respectfully yours,
VlOf^L 11
