THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 2007 THE NEW TANNER 19 No Parking signs going up Council passed a by-law outlining the roadways where parking is prohibited. The areas of concern are Jones Baseline and Watson Rd., south of Wellington Rd. 124. Residents Peter and Joanne Jones approached council last September about vehicles parked on the two roads, which they believe belong to people using Guelph Lake Conservation Area without paying. On June 4, Jones spoke again to council asking when No Parking signs would be erected. Public Works Manager Ken Gagnon was instructed to review the parking by-law. The by-law now states that parking is not permitted on Jones Baseline from Speedvale Ave. to Mill Rd. and on Watson Rd. for 300m southeast of Wellington Rd. 124. Councillor Doug Breen said he is glad they are taking away places to park on these roads. The GRCA doesnt want people trespassing. The farmer has no animals in that fi eld because they were being harassed and there is always garbage and broken glass, he added. Six signs will be posted on each of the two roads at a cost of $504.84, not including internal labour or equipment time. Emergency Response Plan amended As a result of mandatory annual review, the townships Emergency Response Plan was amended. Council passed a by-law to make fi ve changes to update the plan to meet provincial requirements. The defi nition of emergency was changed to include danger of major proportionscaused by the forces of nature, a disease or other health risk, an accident or an act whether intentional or otherwise. Events included are severe weather, water and energy emergencies, transportation incidents involving hazardous materials, dam failures, critical infrastructure failure, passenger transportation incidents, fl oods, and hazardous materials at a fi xed industrial site. Some language was changed such as replacing Fire Department with Fire and Emergency Services. Any reference to three-year terms of council was changed to the current four-year terms. Roles and responsibilities of the Grand River Conservation Authority were added to include monitoring watershed conditions, forecast potential fl ooding and issue warnings. Indian Trail Bridge tender accepted The township put out a tender for the replacements of the Indian Trail Bridge. Of the four tenders received by the deadline, council resolved to accept the lowest bidder, Mar- Bridge Construction at $669,675.14, subject to receiving authorizations and permits. Engineering consultants R.J. Burnside reviewed the tenders for completeness, accuracy, and checked references. By Rebecca Ring Thirteen-year-old Rebec- ca Woolford was recently crowned Miss Teen West- ern Ontario. She competed with 49 contestants to win the title. She will go on to represent the region in the Miss Teen Canada Globe 2007 competition on Au- gust 19 in Toronto. Woolford says she wants to be a positive role model for younger kids. She also wouldnt mind the fame and fortune of making it big in acting and modeling. The competition involved modeling swimsuits and evening gowns, a talent show, volunteerism, con- duct and Q and A. Woolford volunteered at the Darling Home for Kids, founded in honour of Rose Cherry, which provides pediatric hospice care and respite for families liv- ing with life-threatening By Rebecca Ring Council agreed that there is just not enough money in the budget to donate funds to Youth Outdoors Day. It is a project of the Minis- try of Natural Resources, Wellington County Stew- ardship Council and the GRCA. In May, organizer Michelle Bonaldo spoke to council about the event and asked for support. Council asked for further informa- tion on participation of Guelph/Eramosa children and donations from other municipalities.

She saw the valuable service this home provides to her community and wanted to help. I really like working with kids who have special needs, she says. For the talent show, Woolford sang and played the piano, performing Hero. During Q and A, she was asked why she was on crutches. She had broken her foot in a basketball game. For showing such determination, the judges were inspired to develop the Spirit Award, which she won. She also won Miss Teen Ambassador for raising the most funds for charity. Judges asked Woolford how the media affects teens. Models in commercials are not how they really look. The images are enhanced and fake. Teens think they have to look like that unreal image of a skinny model. Also, the violence in the media is teaching kids that it is ok when it is not, she says. Since being crowned, Woolford has participated in the Pioneer Day parade, Waterloos 150th Anniver- sary parade, Paint your Heart Out for the Guelph Rotary Club where she helped paint for seniors, an equestrian camp for special needs kids, Bingo for seniors, Easter Seals Telethon, Tim Hortons Camp Day and Actons community clean-up. She has had lots of help from her two best friends, Desiree Jones and Nicole Dixon, and from her parents Rose and Dave Woolford. It has been pretty excit- ing. I had a false view of pageants. I thought they were all about glamour but now it is more about com- munity, charities and being yourself, says Rose. Woolford says she wants to prove to people that that being Miss Teen Western Ontario is not just about physical beauty, but It is about volunteering, being a role model in your com- munity and having fun. no other municipalities or the provincial government donated funds. The event takes place on September 15 at Luther Marsh. Bonaldo said the purpose is to get children ages 10 to 17 involved in outdoor activities, many of them related to wildlife management. There is no charge to participants. Events include archery, fi shing, wetlands discov- ery, birdhouse building, target shooting, trapping and taxidermy techniques, camping, falconry and fi rearms safety. Councillor Reta Moyer said. It is unfortunate we dont have a bottomless pot. Wed like to support everything but cant. This program is specifi cally de- signed for urban kids and is not really the kind of pro- gram rural kids gravitate to. Councillor Doug Breen agreed, adding that kids in this township have more exposure to the outdoors on a daily basis. Council agreed they would like to support the program by offering services, such as parking or the use of Marden Community Cen- tre. Councillor John Scott said he would take a letter offering support in kind to the coordinators. Rebecca Woolford No funds for Youth Outdoor Day
