bbakernbay Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks for getting this clarified. All I know that Jeff is the most avid Snowmobiler I could ever imagine, he is involved positively in every type of snowmobile organizational level, provincial, District and Club level, both as an idea person and as a doer and facilitator. He donates his time to other Clubs to help them develop tourism loops and maps. His photos, videos and writing are excellent in promoting our sport over such a broad spectrum of interests. He is a family man who really tries to support his community. He has organized with our Cottage Association to help win a battle against Wind Turbines (one of very few groups to accomplish that in Ontario by the way) and he is helping us with government dock repairs and other projects. The least I can do is to take two minutes to vote for him 4 times a day, every day until this little contest is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomo Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 thanks, i hope my explanation clarified your questions... On that issue yes. I'm sure in the interest of clarity, openess and fairness, you will be explaining the same thing regards your new sled to prospective voters on the other forums - Freedom Sledder, DooTalk, HardCore Sledder in one of your blurbs for support. Once again, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is indeed a great candidate. Please stop undermining him by mentioning his opposition to wind power. This is a sledding competition. Or was that a typo? You meant Wind Turbans? Sorry, couldn't resist. Nice picture. (I do support wind energy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slomo Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I have often thought that the OFSC should be making a better effort to attract different cultures to the sport. Politicians Jason Kenney1 and now Ontario PC leader Patrick Brown2 have built huge constituencies for their organizations by the energetic meeting and encouraging various ethnic groups. Should you win the North America's Top Sledder title, you would certainly gain some street cred with the title, in addition to this documented ability to be astride different cultures, you could follow up with strategies similar to Messers. Kenney and Brown for the benefit of Ontario sledding. Fits right in with your stated intentions to continue promotion of the sport. Wouldn't be to hard to finance at a net 0% increase in expenses, while keeping within the more Money On Trails approach - fire the current OFSC communicators, who, in my opinion, have done nothing in this regard at all. 1. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/the-smiling-buddha-and-his-multicultural-charms/article4388303/?page=all 2. http://www.torontosun.com/2015/05/09/ontario-progressive-conservatives-to-crown-new-leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 We live in such a large country that is so different from so many other places that visitors see some things often in awe and at times disbelief. We took a visitor from England to Wasaga Beach. The comment was that they had no idea we were that close to the ocean. Totally amazed to realize it was just a bay off of an even bigger lake and on top of that it wasn't the biggest lake... showed them a map and heard wow.. Keep on sledding.... 3 more votes early this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucrestyle Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hey Everyone, Last night at midnight the voting for round #3 ended, I finished with 36% less than 5% away from first place for this round. The TOP 3 in each round move forward to the 1/4 finals. At this time I do not know when this will start but as soon as i know i will let you all know. I wanted to THANK YOU all very much for your votes, the support has been overwhelming for this popularity contest. I hope that as the contest progresses into the 1/4 finals and finals that you will continue to support me. I also hope that as the competition is narrowed that 'merit' comes into play and this isn't just purely based on votes. I encourage you now that you have made voting a daily routine to continue in round #4 - each vote gets you a ballot to win a prize and the prizes are real! three of my buddies won prizes voting for me in my round! Here's to lots of snow this winter and bringing this title home to Ontario! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
