Homeless shelter use skyrockets LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com On the night of Dec. 18, Richmond Hill pet store owner Mi-
chael Taggart discovered three young homeless men sleeping in the electrical room of his plaza. He let them remain safely for the rest of the bitterly cold night,
returning in the morning to leave them information on homeless resources and offering Tim Hortons gift cards. When the young men, aged
about 18 to 21, came to his Tru Pet store to gratefully accept the gift cards, they explained they regu-

2016 HIGHS AND LOWS
3
YORK REGION STAFF newsroom@yrmg.com With 2016 over and done with, our reporters took some time to look back at some of the highs and lows that stood out over the past 12 months in York Region. York Region High: Democracy is finally coming to York Region’s top political job, now held by regional chair Wayne Emmerson. That was the comment from a pleased Newmarket-Aurora MPP Chris Ballard after the provincial government introduced legislation in November to make regional chairs elected. If adopted, as expected, the change will be in effect for the Oct. 22, 2018 municipal election. Low: For many years, more than 2,000 lower income York Region residents annually have relied on the Housing Help Centre and Identification Clinic to help them find affordable housing and to secure much-needed documentation. But the region, the sole source of funding for the programs, is ending its $340,500 annual grant at the end of the year, forcing the centre to close its doors. York Regional Police Low: On Aug. 29, an allegedly inebriated Christopher Singh, his baby in the back, crossed the centre line on 16th Avenue hitting and killing Markham’s Inoka Athuraliya-LiyanaWaduge, 42 and her daughter Savani Guruge, 4. Georgina High: Various events and activities all year celebrating the 125th anniversary of the first full year of the incorporated Village of Sutton was a definite high point.It culminated in a two-day Sutton/
Jackson’s Point 125 party Sept. 10 and 11 at the Sutton fairgrounds. Marking the achievements of some of the area’s founding fathers, families, industries and communities, the yearlong celebration not only reminded residents of the area’s strong roots, but the indomitable spirit, sense of community and the heart of the area’s people that continue to shape us to this very day. Low: Looking back at 2016, the death of longtime Georgina resident Danny Wheeler at the age of 69 in November shocked the region and was one of the year’s low points. The man described as a true gentleman served on regional council since 1988 and was the longestserving member in council’s history. He started his political career as a Georgina ward councillor in 1982, serving two, three-year terms. At the region, he served on many committees, including chairing both the police services board from and the accessibility advisory committee. "He was a true gentleman and he did a lot for the town of Georgina and the region of York," regional chair Wayne Emmerson said. "He didn’t have to speak very much but when he did, everyone listened. He will be very missed." Bradford High: Astronaut Chris Hadfield made a special visit to staff and students at BWG’s newly opened Chris Hadfield Public School in June. He talked about his time in space, sang a couple of his original songs and toured the school to check out what the new facility has to offer. Low: Residents and witnesses were shocked when a pickup truck hit
,
A series of events over two days, including a visit from the RCMP musical ride, marked 125 years of the incorporation of the village of Sutton in September.

A portrait of Georgina and Regional Councillor Danny Wheeler was on display during a memorial service at the York Region administration building in Newmarket, Saturday. Nov 12, 2016 and dragged a 55-year-old Bradford West Gwillimbury man more than 500 me-
tres along Holland Street West. The incident, which occurred March 6, re-
quired the man to be extracted from underneath the vehicle with help from EMS, fire crews and police. East Gwillimbury High: On snowy Sunday in December Queensville Filmmaker Jack Buchanan debuted his "King Kong" movie at the Gem Theatre in Keswick. The 24-yearold autistic film buff spent six years on the project. It was heartwarming to be part of what he called one of the best nights of his life. Low: Sharon beekeeper James Murray has been a staple at the East Gwillimbury farmer’s market, so the story chronicling how a good portion of his hive was wiped out by disease was tough to write, especially considering how much effort Murray put into his bees. Newmarket High: The people. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and profil-

ing some outstanding local residents this year - from retiring Southlake Foundation president and CEO Neila Poscente to SickKids patient Hartley Bernier. We also profiled the First World War trench masterfully developed by a dedicated team of Newmarket Historical Society volunteers. Low: Mean spirit. An unwillingness to treat each other with respect and understanding seemed to be a lingering theme. A bitter fight between Ward 5 Coun. Joe Sponga and members of the Main Street BIA led, at least partly, to the councillor’s resignation and triggered a byelection. The alleged bigotry against members of a Newmarket Muslim family in September, and social media comments directed toward a pregnant homeless woman and her boyfriend, were also troubling.

larly turn to nearby 360 Kids’ daytime drop in centre, but that the 14 emergency overnight beds are often full. The experience left Taggart shaken. "It’s kind of a surreal experience because you know it’s happening, but you don’t realize it’s happening so close to home, and you kind of turn a blind eye to it," he said, adding the plaza’s landlord has since changed the lock for safety reasons. "It was more of a surprise and shock that it was so close to home, and it’s the holidays and the weather was so cold, and I think there could be more done - especially in colder weather. I think warming centres are relatively easy to do. Warming centres where they could pull out cots on a more regular basis." The problem of homelessness is playing out across York Region. Newmarket’s Inn from the Cold has seen a 50 per cent increase in the number of times clients have sought overnight emergency shelter during the first month of the season this year compared to last year, executive director Ann Watson said.

Inn From the Cold has seen a 50-per-cent increase in the number of times clients have sought overnight emergency shelter. ents have turned to the shelter, which operates from mid-November to April. That compares with 478 stays during the same period last year. Inn from the Cold is taking in clients who have been turned away from other agencies at capacity, Watson said. She called the increase "significant’ and "concerning." Staff are trying to determine possible reasons for the sharp rise in homeless people turning to the program, including colder weather compared to last year, more people with precarious employment losing their jobs, and the region’s increasingly expensive housing market. The centre also brought in a drop-in program during the summer. That like-
ly built and maintained connections with people who are now more comfortable turning to the shelter, Watson said. Inn from the Cold has beds for 30 people a night, including up to six beds for women. As many as 28 clients have turned to the shelter this year. The shelter is coping, and at the same time hoping there isn’t an increase in demand so homeless people don’t have to be turned away, Watson said. "I can’t even imagine sleeping outside in this weather," she said. Inn from the Cold is looking for volunteers and also seeking participants for its largest annual fundraiser, Coldest Night of the Year, on Feb. 25. For more information, visit innfromthecold.ca

Good riddance to 2016
The Georgina Advocate, published every Thursday, is a division of the Metroland Media Group Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The Metroland family of newspapers is comprised of more than 100 community publications across Ontario.
Ugh. Chances are, that utterance probably sums up your feelings on the year that was 2016. Unless you’re a Chicago Cubs fan, the collective attitude toward the past 12 months seems to be one comprised predominantly of exasperation coupled with an unspoken urgency for the final page of the calendar to flip over. After all, ’16 will go down as a bizarre year in the annals of history, with one horrific development after another unfolding overseas and what seemed like a never-ending parade of celebrity deaths that included David Bowie, Alan Rickman and Prince in the first half of the year alone. The past few weeks have also had us bid goodbye to Leonard Cohen and Alan Thicke.
The Georgina Advocate is a member of the National NewsMedia Council. Complainants are urged to bring their concerns to the attention of the newspaper and, if not satisfied, write The National NewsMedia Council, Suite 200, 890 Yonge St., Toronto, ON M4W 2H2.

Given that brief, and by no means complete, synopsis of 2016, you can be forgiven for feeling a little worn out. You’re definitely not alone. That’s not even to delve into the bitter U.S. presidential campaign that, regardless of your political leanings, seemed to drag on forever and felt like watching a car crash get struck by a train wreck before careering into a dumpster fire. Even now, more than a month after the Nov. 8 vote, the election continues to haunt us as accusations of intrigue and skulduggery continue to fly. Given that brief, and by no means complete, synopsis of 2016, you can be forgiven for feeling a little worn out. You’re definitely not alone. The good news, however, is that we’re days into a new beginning, a do-over, if you will. Now, the move from one year to the next, of course, doesn’t have any real power to improve things, but, psychologically anyway, it feels like an opportunity to hope that better things lie ahead. In the midst of the residual holiday cheer, be certain to embrace your loved ones and let them know what they mean to you and join them in collectively wishing that the best remains still to come. No doubt, 2017 will have its share of ups and downs, as all years do, but we should all cross our fingers that, unlike 2016, the highs will outnumber the lows. One thing remains certain, however, and that is it’s high time for us all to say good riddance to 2016.

Governments helping private sector in race to bottom Re: Bloated bureaucracy: Do we pay too much? Dec. 15. It was infuriating to see your headline. Talk about sour grapes. Perhaps Teena Bogner and her Newmarket Taxpayers Advocacy Group will feel encouraged by the fact that all governments - federal, provincial, regional and municipal are now helping the private sector in the race to the bottom by offering precarious work to new employees. Many new hires are temporary contract employees.
This despicable practice is all too common in the private sector. If taxpayer associations are so bent on saving taxpayer dollars, why not complain about the fact that CEOs and other top executives, in the public sector and especially in the private sector are being paid multi-million dollar salaries? And who ultimately pays for these bloated salaries? The taxpayer. The public sector is the last bastion of decent wages and decent benefits. We should be striving to make the private sector more like the public sector. Perhaps your paper should headline news items to try to begin to eliminate the gross inequities in our society.

January is shaping up to be a busy month for council and staff. We start off with our annual New Year’s Levee and pancake breakfast at the ROC on Saturday, Jan. 7 from 9 to 11 a.m. Bring your winter gear. We will have free tubing from 10 a.m. to noon. Jan. 10 is a special council meeting to discuss two reports, first the strategic options for the civic centre considering either renovating or building a new centre and at what location. The second report will be on the multi-use recreational facility (MURC), where we have to decide exactly what recreational services we will build and what other town facilities we would want to locate with that project. We have discussed put-
MARGARET QUIRK Mayor’s Column ting a library, fire services and the civic centre offices with the MURC. Once we have made the decision on which facilities to include, we will know how much land we will require. We can then finalize the location for the MURC, most likely south of Glenwoods, and we can move forward with a decision on the civic centre. Next in January is the 2017 budget discussions
Jan. 24 and 25. Council was presented with the draft budget in December and we have been reviewing the new initiatives and capital projects. Two large capital items proposed in the draft budget are the costs for the design of the MURC and a proposed new fire hall for Pefferlaw. The public is welcome to attend and can review the budget online or copies are available at the three libraries. 2017 plans to be an exciting year in Georgina as we move forward with some key projects. Stay tuned for more information on the discussions of the civic centre and 2017 budget decisions. You can email Mayor Margaret Quirk at mquirk@georgina.ca or call 905-476-4305, ext. 2215.

Starting the new year out on the right foot took on new meaning after a dramatic rescue and release in Georgina over the holidays. Residents, animal control and Shades of Hope (SOH) wildlife refuge centre all played their parts after a juvenile bald eagle landed in the driveway of an unsuspecting Roches Point couple Dec. 31. After a couple of excited calls for help, rescuers Anna and Murray Marriage reached SOH. While they guarded the magnificent bird from passing cars on their street, Georgina Animal Control was dispatched to assess the situation. Armed with heavy gloves and a lot of nerve, a control officer safely wrapped the magnificent bird in a blanket and transported it to SOH. The only indication of injury that was found was a tiny bit of blood in his eye, in-
Metroland
A fully recuperated juvenile bald eagle was released just off of Roches Point Jan. 1 by Shades of Hope wildlife refuge after being injured and treated New Year’s Eve. dicating the bird must have experienced some form of trauma to its head, SOH founder Gail Lenters said of the juvenile eagle patient which remained resting comfortably in the centre’s aviary after a series of xrays and a thorough examination. On New Year’s Day, the fully recuperated bird was released and returned to the open skies over Lake Simcoe just off of Roches Point.
"It was fantastic to watch," Lenters said, especially in light of the fact the young eagle’s eventual flight on a glorious sunfilled day over clear blue open water was to its matching partner which had been seen circling overhead all day. "They hooked up within a minute or two." Lenters couldn’t think of a better way to start off the new year, adding the bald
eagle population has been in serious decline since the late 1900s. But there are shades of hope, so to speak, since a small bald eagle population has recently returned to Lake Simcoe, nesting at the bottom of Cook’s Bay. "It is an awesome sight to see them soar over our lake again." In total, 3,000 "wild lives" came through SOH’s doors for care in 2016.

HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com An extra $88 could come out of your pocket in property taxes if the draft budget tabled at council last month gets adopted in February. That represents a 4.9-per cent increase over last year to cover $38,870,800 required from the tax levy to support a total $86,626,410 proposed budget. The $88 increase applies to the average household assessed at $327,140. A 7.9 per cent increase to water and sewer rates are also projected, which would mean an increase from $275.17 to $296.96 on the average quarterly bill in Georgina. Budget deliberations at council have been slated for Jan. 24 and 25 (if necessary). Big-ticket items identified under major new capital include $3.2M for a new fire hall in Pefferlaw, $2M for a Multi-Use Recreation Centre (MURC) design, $1.7 million for the roads capital plan and $3.1M for water main infrastructure at Burke Street in Sutton. The most expensive of new initiatives on the 2017 draft budget include: staffing, $50,000 for an elevator at the Civic Centre and $56,000 for Geographic Information Services software and licensing. The final municipal budget and its impact on taxes will be decided by February, but the average household in Georgina will be paying an extra $35 in taxes to the region, after York Re-

AUTO CORNER
Gary’s Service keeps cars running their best Quality repair, friendly service and an expanded and renovated front reception area is what will welcome you at Gary’s Service in Keswick. The recent renovation to the customer service area complements an impressive, nine-bay full service garage kept in meticulous order. Offering mechanical repairs to most makes and models of cars and light trucks, the Woodbine Avenue garage located just north of Church Street has undertaken a number of expansions throughout the years to always accommodate and best serve its customers’ needs. That also includes staying abreast of changing standards and regulations in the industry. Last year, the most notable was a number of changes to MTO inspection standards. New requirements, as well as revised sections to the Ministry of Transportation’s regulations for “safetys”, were added during 2016 to determine if a vehicle meets the minimum standards to pass
an inspection. The latest development as of last month, however, includes a number of proposed amendments to the Drive Clean program that will take effect April 1, 2017. While still a mandatory test every two
years, there will be no fee for your initial test. If your vehicle does not pass, however, you will be charged for the subsequent retest. Changes regarding conditional passes and emission test requirements
for the resale of lightduty vehicles have also been made under the modified program. Gary’s Service can help you wade through the changes and what they will mean for your vehicle. It will also get you and your vehicle back on the road as quickly as possible, whether your vehicle needs an unplanned major repair, scheduled maintenance or is making noises that don’t sound right. In business now for over 30 years,
Gary’s has become synonymous with quality service — from its competitive pricing, to minimal wait times and excellent customer service. Detailed price lists outline fees for standard jobs and customers are always informed of potential costs and estimated repairs before any work is completed. Another key factor for customers, however, is always being kept in the loop and provided options as your vehicle is being serviced. Open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Gary’s Service is located at 24892 Woodbine Ave. in Keswick and can be reached at 905-476-4611.

THE QUEEN’S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE Since 1952, Queen Elizabeth II has been giving a “Christmas Broadcast”. In everyone of her broadcasts to the British Commonwealth and Empire, she has emphasized her constant sense of duty and her devotion to God, speaking humbly and openly of this. In her 2002 broadcast, the Queen said: “I know just how much I rely on my faith to guide me through the good times and the bad. Each day is a new beginning. I know that the only way to live my life is to try to do what is right, to give of my best in all that the day brings, and to put my trust in God...I draw strength from the message of hope in the Christian gospel.” The same theme was re-iterated in 2008: “I hope that, like me, you will be comforted by the example of Jesus of Nazareth who, often in circumstances of great adversity, managed to live an outgoing, unselfish and sacrificial life...We can be surely grateful that, two thousand years after the birth of Jesus, so many of us are able to draw inspiration from his life and message, and to find in him a source of strength and courage.” In this year’s Christmas Message, again the Queen emphasized the importance of gaining inspiration from the life of Jesus Christ. She spoke of how she uses the life of Jesus as her guiding light and that love begins small but always grows. As the New Year – 2017 – commences, we likewise, have an excellent opportunity to reflect upon the message of the Bible, to gain inspiration and guidance from God’s Word as we carry out our daily activities.

SHIRTLIFF, John Alan Peacefully at Southlake Regional Centre on December 18, 2016, at the age of 86, with loved ones Mary (wife), Karen (daughter), Jim (son), Cathy (daughter-in-law) and close friend Doug by his side. Proud Grandpa of Ryan Watson Crawford. John followed many career paths in his lifetime as a business owner in the automotive industry as well as the construction business and was working full speed ahead the week prior to his death. Always one to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. He was a man that could do most anything he set his mind to. In his pastime, his passion was driving race cars with his son Jim who also enjoyed racing and John did so until the age of 60. He began his racing career in 1953 at the track located on the Canadian National Exhibition grounds in Toronto. He was an avid racing enthusiast and enjoyed following his son-in-law Bob Crawford on the SOS Sprint car circuit. John and his wife Mary enjoyed many winters with their friends in Florida. He had an extraordinary life and dealt with his demise with grace and absolute dignity to the very end of his full life. Cremation has taken place. The celebration of John’s life will take place at the Stouffville Legion, 150 Mostar Street, Stouffville, Ontario, L4A 0Y2, on February 4, 2017, at 1:00 with the service at 2:00.
