Donald Westcott — Severn Ward 5

My name is Donald Westcott, and I have been a resident of the Township of Severn for 22 years. My wife Cathy and I have called Ward 5 home for the past 10 years. I am the father of three adult children and grandfather of two grandsons. I retired from my career as a police officer and worked for a local home contractor.

As incumbent Ward 5 councillor for the Township of Severn, I have gained significant knowledge of The Municipal Act as well as policy, procedure and protocol. As a strong communicator who is accessible to the residents, I am committed to being an active and effective member of council. If re-elected, I will uphold these qualities and continue my role of positive leadership on township council.

My first four years as councillor have seen a property tax increase in 2018 of 0.33%; 1.6 million dollars in road reconstruction for Ward 5; and access for Severn residents to Orillia Public Library services.

As an involved community member, I have been active, as on the Washago Canada Day, Santa Claus Parade and Canada 150 celebration committees; member and current president of the Washago Garden Club; fundraiser for the Washago Community Centre, Washago Garden Club and The Friends of the Washago Water Tower; and facilitator of the wooden paddle and Maple Leaf art projects in Washago.

If re-elected, my priorities would include maintaining a minimum property tax increase; continued support for road and bridge upgrades; improved internet and wireless service for rural areas in Ward, 5 and keeping a “watchful eye” on our rural environment. Washago priorities would include upgrades of the sewer system, advocating for a sidewalk on Quetton Street to the Washago Centennial Park, and additional parking in the Washago business sector.

The Township of Severn is a unique and picturesque place to live and work. If re-elected I would be proud to continue serving the residents of Ward 5.

Jazz at the Library in Thornbury back for fall season

Few Canadian musicians can claim such an illustrious career as this virtuosic trombonist, composer, arranger and conductor.

Russ Little will bring his ultimate trombone, exuberance and boundless instrumental artistry to the Thornbury library on Friday, Aug. 24. His highlights so far include having been the lead trombonist with the Woody Herman and Count Basie Bands, founding member of the legendary rock orchestra Lighthouse, member of  Rob McConnell’s the Boss Brass, music director for the famous comedy TV show Second City and arranger/conductor for countless CBC, CTV, ABC and NBC network TV shows.

For this concert he will be joined by Andy Harasymczuk on guitar, Jack McFadden on bass and Ted Warren on drums. Tickets are $25 and available at Thornbury Pharmasave and Blue Mountain Music in Collingwood.

Wayne McGrath will bring his trumpet and be joined by Don Buchanan on keyboard, Peter Rissi on trombone, Jay Burr on tuba and Steve Wood on drums to revisit the Roaring 20s with the jazz music of the day on Sept. 21.

Bill McBirnie will perform the best jazz and bossa nova tunes  on his extreme flute on Oct. 19 with Andy Harasymczuk on guitar, Jack McFadden on bass and Ted Warren on drums.

The Marsh Street Centre will be the venue on Nov. 16 to showcase the Marie-Catherine Pazzano Quintet highlighting undiscovered gems, the many jazz tunes which just didn’t get top billings, but rank with the best mainstream jazz standards any time. Marie-Catherine on vocals, Don Buchanan on keyboard, Jason Hunter on tenor sax, Pat Collins on bass and Steve James on drums make up this enjoyable ensemble.

Thornbury Jazzworks presents the Jazz at the Library and Jazz at the Marsh concerts to promote excellence in musical performance and use the proceeds to support music education programs in our local schools.
