Mathers family creates annual Festival grant A lasting legacy Ila and Arnold Mathers have opted to create a legacy grant fund for the Blyth Festival that will continue well beyond their lifetimes.

Ila and Arnold have been regular theatre patrons since the inception of the Blyth Festival and have attended over 150 plays. Ila was a Blyth Festival Board member for six years and the couple has volunteered as ushers at the theatre and helped at the yearly book sale. They also donated seats when the theatre was refurbished. Suzannne Mathers, their daughter and financial advisor at Raymond James, suggested their participation in the South Huron Community Fund and made the arrangements to set up the Mathers' Family Legacy. "The South Huron Community Fund helps donors support the projects and charities that they are passionate about," said Tom Prout, Chair. "Establishing a family legacy with our organization is easy and can be set up to benefit a specific charitable cause or the general fund supporting priorities in our community." Whether the priorities relate to the arts or the environment, to youth or the elderly, the South Huron Community Fund is dedicated to supporting the long-term needs of our region. Funds raised create a permanent endowment that generates annual grants for local charitable organizations.

As she comes to understand the damage done by the Department, Bea sees firsthand how this act of displacement reverberates on land grossly exploited by the government.

OPP charges 587 over holidays The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) charged 587 drivers with impaired driving during its annual Festive Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) campaign, which ran from Nov. 24, 2017 to Jan. 2, 2018. An additional 366 drivers were issued a warn range suspension and had their driver's licence suspended for having a blood alcohol concentration between .05 and .08 per cent. By comparison, the OPP charged 623 impaired drivers and issued 407 warn range suspensions during the 2016-2017 Festive RIDE campaign. The OPP remained highly focused on keeping roads safe over the holidays, reflecting on the 44 lives lost in alcohol/drug-related collisions on OPP-patrolled roads in 2017. Officers conducted more than 9,830 RIDE events throughout the province, surpassing the 7,343 RIDE events conducted over a the previous season's campaign. Over the holidays, OPP Drug Recognition Evaluators (DRE) assisted with the tools and expertise to test for and detect drug impairment in drivers. Of the 587 drivers charged, 29 were charged with drug impairment. While the OPP maintained a heightened focus on impaired drivers during the campaign, officers enforce impaired driving laws around the clock, 365 days a year. In 2017, the OPP charged 4,915 drivers with alcohol -impaired charges and 238 drivers with drug -impaired charges and issued 2,995 warn range suspensions. '40N1.1% qa ie Teta riddrriapt?
