HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com Bonnie Park is not for sale or swap. That is the sentiment of a group of concerned Jackson’s Point residents who launched an online petition - bonnieparkisnotforsale.com - this week stating the historic public park or any portion thereof should not be used as a "bargaining chip" with developers under any harbour redevelopment master plan. A 16-week, $90,000 process with The Planning Partnership at its helm was approved by council last week in reaction to the sale of Bonnie Boats earlier this month.

Students do their part to protect forest HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com Plant, care and give. That is the motto of LEAF, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the protection and improvement of the urban forest. And plant, care and give is exactly what roughly 50 Lake Simcoe Public School students did with LEAF volunteers on Friday, April 21, to do their part to give "urban" forests a fighting chance. In 2015, students did their part and planted 150 native trees and shrubs in Thornlodge Park. This past Earth Day, students, in conjunction with the Toronto-based ecological group, returned to the park to give those young plants a fighting chance by pulling invasive
species, picking up litter, placing mulch around existing plants and planting new ones. Students were schooled on proper techniques and the importance of replacing an estimated 2.8 million ash trees across York Region that will become infested with emerald ash borer and die in the next 10 to 15 years with native species. You can do your part by planting native trees and shrubs in your own yards through LEAF’s subsidized Backyard Tree Planting Program. The program, which includes a 30-minute arborist consultation and is supported by the Region of York, helps residents plant the right native tree in the right place. Visit yourleaf.org for more information.

Jackson’s Point residents launch online petition l Continued from page 1
Inn on one side and the former marine property now owned by MSR Holdings Inc. on the other, the town contends a redevelopment strategy with all interested parties involved and six opportunities for public input will allow it to "drive the bus" when it comes to any future development proposals. Paul Brady, however, is one of many who doesn’t agree and thinks there is still time to turn the ship around before one of few remaining public access sites to Lake Simcoe is sunk. "The town thinks it is a good thing to use a historic public lake access park as a bargaining chip, but we think the plan shouldn’t have been set up in the first place," Brady said, adding the $90,000 would have been better spent cleaning debris off the park, filling in low areas, replacing rotten boards on the dock and a fresh coat of paint on the picnic shelters. "If an entity has bought a marina, and it turns out that the land can only be used as a marina, then they have a marina," he added. "If that entity can change it into what they want to do, more power to them, but it must be done under the same parameters and guidelines that everyone else must adhere to on their own property . Bonnie Park is not for sale. Period. It belongs to the people, not just the residents of Georgina, but to all who want to use it." Wayne Phillips agrees and hopes the petition will prompt people to get involved, make an informed decision and let elected officials know where they stand on the issue.

Lary Rudd (from left), his wife Erin Campbell Rudd and Donna Parsons are some of the Jackson’s Point residents who have started an online petition opposed to using Bonnie Park as a ’bargaining chip’ in redevelopment plans currently being floated. "I think we’re all smart enough to understand that change is going to happen and that we want to be collaborative with the process, but there is a feeling that there hasn’t been full disclosure up to this point," Phillips said, echoing the sentiments of Cliff Williams and bait and tackle shop owner Donna Parsons, who were among those upset over unauthorized testing in the park conducted earlier this month and the fact redevelopment proposals concerning two private properties are being floated on the taxpayer dime. While the group behind the petition may be at the "nucleus" of the situation, they point out it is not NIMBYism that is spearheading their cause.
"Most of us have lived here for years and we would adapt, just like we always have," Larry Rudd said, just before Erin Campbell Rudd unveiled

What MSR has in mind for the property has not been disclosed, but what is clear is that it has no intention of operating a marina, according to the town. The town also confirmed Bonnie Park needed to be on the table so all three properties could be included in a comprehensive redevelopment plan for the entire area. "I’m not saying you do it, but you have to look at it because that is part of the puzzle," the town’s director of development services, Harold Lenters, said at last week’s meeting. If condos are part of any proposed redevelopment plan, however, the resident group says only a small number benefit compared
to the enormity of what would be lost. "A couple dozen or so owners would benefit from something like condos or townhouses being built, whereas all of Georgina and everyone else who comes to visit this spot, and has been, for years, will lose," Phillips said, adding there is also a public dock and wharf at issue. What area residents don’t want is the town looking at the situation as a "cash cow to deal the park," he added. "We have a gem here in Georgina. It’s ours. Let’s keep it. Let’s not allow something that will destroy it without respecting the full history and heritage of the area," Rudd said. "Once it’s gone, it’s lost forever."

A substantial upgrade to Catering Road and an opportunity for surrounding properties to hook up to town water and sewer services are two key components of a revised subdivision proposal inching its way through the town’s planning process that would bring 185 new homes to Sutton, just south of the high school. A proposal first tabled in 1993 as a retirement community in the Catering Road and Country Mile Lane area of Sutton has evolved through a number of revised applications and new owners, resulting in the Ainslie Hill I development application that would bring 185 single detached homes to land east of Catering.

An NHL jersey signed by Original Six members is the star attraction of the auction. Many of the items were on display and presented last April, when fans, former Toronto Maple Leafs and Original Six hockey players honoured hockey legend and Jackson’s Point resident Tod Sloan at the Legion April 6. Hockey legends George Armstrong and Dick Duff of Original Six fame and renowned Toronto Sun columnist Mike Filey were just some of the many people out to honour the 88year-old, who played with the Leafs from 1947 to 1958

A potential three-way
stop in the area of Country Mile Lane was also proposed to partially address concerns raised from the public regarding an increase of traffic volume and speed in the area as a result of the development. A commitment to provide water and sewer hook ups for properties that front the development is also being honoured by the new owners.

Plan a prudent first step toward housing affordability If the first step toward solving a problem is acknowledging you have one, then Ontario’s Liberal government deserves at least some credit for introducing policies aimed at trying to slow down southern Ontario’s runaway real estate market. Concerned about rising rents and skyrocketing house prices, Premier Kathleen Wynne unveiled her government’s Fair Housing Plan on April 20. It included 16 measures intended to help make housing more affordable, while improving market stability. Arguably, the most highly-touted move was the decision to follow Vancouver’s lead and introduce a 15-per-cent nonresident speculation tax that would apply to non-citizens, non-permanent residents and non-Canadian corporations buying one to six single family residential units in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Wynne stressed Ontario is a welcoming place for newcomers, adding the tax is intended to target speculators looking to make a quick buck. Other components of the plan include expanding rent control to cover all private rental units, not just those built prior to 1991, and potentially allowing municipalities to levy taxes on vacant homes within their borders. Additionally, the plan calls for the province to work with municipal governments to identify surplus lands that could be used to develop more affordable housing. The reaction to the Fair Housing Plan was mixed. Several economists came out in favour of the proposals, while the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario expressed disappointment with Wynne’s announcement. Toronto Mayor John Tory said he welcomed many of the ideas put forward and Ontario Real Estate Association CEO Tim Hudak said he was happy the government acted, adding something had to be done to address the issue of housing affordability. NDP leader Andrea Horwath feared the changes would be too little, too late. PC housing critic Ernie Hardeman cast doubt on the notion the tax will have the desired effect and blamed red tape for preventing the development industry from building the kinds of units required. Time will tell how these measures will affect the market but if nothing else, the province is taking reasonable steps to address the issue. Doing too much risks putting homeowners in the poorhouse, while inaction leaves too many Ontarians - young people especially - scarcely able to afford rent let alone a down payment given that home prices have skyrocketed at a time when wages are stagnant. The plan isn’t perfect and will likely require tweaking in the months and years ahead - but it’s a start.

recently for overnight stays, until November due to lack of funds provided by all levels of government, it is outrageous that we seem to be able to find billions of dollars for so many projects both needed and frivolous, both ridiculously wasteful and those that are warranted, but we cannot find $150,000 to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Surely a small portion of the massive budgets that our municipalities, provincial and federal governments run up, could be reallocated without any effect on the economic health of our country, but provide incredible comfort for those in need.
The Inn makes a huge difference in the lives of every person who needs a warm place to stay overnight and to get a basic meal to sustain them for the next 24 hours. The Inn is manned by a small management team and close to 300 volunteers, who show up in all weathers and conditions so as not to let the clients down.

LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com Amid looming financial problems facing York Region, the provincial government should turn over funding from the new 15 per cent foreign home buyers’ tax to cash-strapped municipalities, Markham Coun. Jim Jones says. The tax will generate at least hundreds of millions of dollars in York alone, he calculated. "Where is the money going to go? The question should be to the province that whichever municipality generates the foreign buyers’ tax, (it) should stay there to develop the infrastructure," Jones said at the April 20 council meeting. The region is bringing in a new development charges
Jim Jones bylaw next month, which will raise the fees on new construction to help pay for growth-related infrastructure, but that is "chicken feed" compared to what the foreign buyers’ tax would raise, Jones said. "This (foreign buyers’ tax) is a tax grab," he said. "Where is this money going to go, that the big question. That would solve a lot
of our infrastructure problems in York Region if that money would stay in York Region." There is little chance the province will pass revenue from the tax along to municipalities, regional treasurer Bill Hughes speculated. Instead, councillors in York, and surrounding regions, should consider asking Queen’s Park for similar taxing powers as those granted to Toronto in 2006. Those include a land transfer tax, which could raise as much as $250 million a year for the region, and a vehicle registration tax, which could raise as much as $80 million a year for the region. Although it hasn’t done so, Toronto also has the power to impose alcohol, tobacco and amusement taxes

’Family men’ caught in child prostitution sting JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com What are the backgrounds of the York Region men trying to hire girls as young as 13 for sex? The short answer is, they come from all walks of life. However, when one burrows into the list of 104 men caught in the York Regional Police underage prostitution sting, it can be said that many are what one might refer to as "family men." "Almost all of these men were first offenders," said Susan Orlando, the Ministry of the Attorney General’s provincial co-ordinator for the human-trafficking team. "Otherwise they had stable jobs and families and are not the type of people who usually you would see in the criminal justice system." The police agreed that these men did not fit the typical criminal profile. "Unfortunately, there
was a lot of married men," said Det. Sgt. Thai Truong, who oversaw the four-year investigation dubbed Project Raphael. The operation is simple: men looking for a prostitute contact an advertiser on the web, not knowing the person on the other end of the email or text is a police officer. Once contact is made, the officer makes it clear the would-be victim is aged 13 to 16. If the man moves on at this point, he is left alone by police. If he engages, a deal is made over text. When he shows up at the hotel, he is arrested. The texts of a 25-year-old pilot on one night highlight how brazen these men are; he said he was willing to pay $250 for a 13-year-old girl. At a news conference on April 21 at York police’s Aurora headquarters, investigators detailed statistics showing how successful the sting has been - 32 guilty
tims from the world of prostitution, he added. "Enlisting co-operation from these victims is very difficult," Truong said, explaining that out of the 85 minors identified as trafficked in the region, only 49 were extricated by police and their pimps charged. "Getting them to trust us is challenging." Orlando said she has assigned a team of Crowns to help prosecute these crimes and help train others to do the same. So far, sentences have ranged from three to seven months in prison. As for the men charged, a list shows seven from Vaughan, six from Richmond Hill, 11 from Markham, three from Newmarket, one from Aurora, three from Stouffville and one from Bradford. The prices negotiated for the would-be victims’ services ranged from $60 to $120 for a half-hour and $140 to $300 for an hour, Truongsaid.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Georgina Home for Sale Georgina - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why It’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can
make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-888-244-7592 and enter 1013. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

’Reflection, feeling lost’ common for women over 50 LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com Five years ago, when Sandra Zuliani turned 50, the York Region woman quit her job as an accounts manager to care for her mother stricken with dementia, her aging in-laws and an elderly family friend who had no one else to turn to. Zuliani, who was still working when she cared for her father before he died of cancer in 2008, also wanted to be home to steer daughters Lauren and Vanessa through their teenage years and to support husband Sandro, who works very long hours. "I had to make a choice for myself, forget about yourself for the next five years. Concentrate on your family," Zuliani said while sitting in a comfortable chair in her Aurora home. "I didn’t want to look back and have regrets if everybody wasn’t where they needed to be." While Zuliani is very content with the decision she made, she admits there are times when she wonders what life would be like if she was still in the work world. "I get resentment at times because I always feel I’m not at my potential," she said, adding her sister has helped her with care for their parents. Caring for ailing family members has often been difficult, Zuliani, said. "Nobody prepares you. The same as parenting, nobody prepares you. Everyone says it’s going to be the hardest job," she said. "But parenting is a choice. Parenting your parents has chosen you. And it’s beyond stressful." While Zuliani is enjoying greater self-confidence and more financial freedom than when she was younger, she and her female friends over 50 share "war stories" about issues they’ve never encountered before. Those can range from raising children in an age of more complex challenges to anxieties of never having grandchildren because of
Steve Somerville/Metroland
Sandra Zuliani sits with framed photographs of her parents and her children. the length of time it is taking for their grown children to launch their careers and families. Next month, Zuliani will join a new six-week Fifty Plus women’s group being run by Thornhill psychologist and author Sara Dimerman. Not only are women dealing with new things in their 50s that are new to them personally, such as empty nest syndrome and concerns about aging, this generation 50-plus females may be coping with issues previous generations didn’t have to, Dimerman said. For example, today’s economy and housing market means children are often leaving home much later because they can’t afford rent or a mortgage. Or they are returning to the roost if they have lost jobs or are facing divorce. They may also be bringing their children with them, meaning three generations could be living in the house. Four, if elderly parents are also there. With women having children later in life, women likely no longer enjoy a gap between the time when they are raising their children and when they take on caring for their elderly parents, Dimerman said. And with people living longer and often with more complex health problems than in the past, women may be caring for aging and sick parents and in-laws for much longer than they may
have in the past, she said. "Instead of running your children to their pediatric appointments, you’re running your parents to their gerontologist appointment," said Dimerman, adding that caring for aging parents can bring on fears of aging and mortality in many women. Men may also be facing similar challenges but often deal with them in a different way, said Dimerman, adding women still tend to be the primary caregivers in their families. While men want to look good as they age, society places much more pressure on women when it comes to their looks, she said. Dimerman said her group will allow women to feel acknowledged and encouraged as they navigate changes in their 50s. "Being in your 50s is almost like being a tween. You’re no longer like an adult raising children and you don’t see yourself as a retired person. It’s an in-between stage of life," she said. "It’s a period of betweenness. It’s a period of reflection but for many women it’s a period of feeling lost. Women will tell me I retired from teaching but I don’t know what to do with my life. I want to feel productive but I can’t start a new career, I’m too old for that. The group starts May 2. For more information, contact Dimerman at 905-882 -7690 or helpmesara@sympatico.ca.

Sometimes, all you need is a canvas, a paint brush and a stroke of genius to bring out your creative side. But the hustle-bustle of life doesn’t afford us the time to commit to a formal, lengthy art class. "Many people don’t want to be artists," Judy Horan, the Newmarket artist behind Art Circle Social Painting. "They just want to create something." Art Circle specializes in social art events at local restaurants in Newmarket, Aurora, Georgina and Bradford. Social painting is not an art lesson, it’s a social event where people learn a painting technique, paint a canvas and take something home, she added. Social painting events are taking the art scene by storm, where people are looking for something different than everyday life and work, said Kevin Chow, operations manager of Paintlounge, a studio space designated to one-off social painting events. Currently, there are three Paintlounge locations - one on Main Street Markham and two in Toronto. "This is a way for people to get back to their creative side, even if it’s just for a night," Chow said. And there’s no experience necessary - and no cleanup. Many social painting events provide the tools - paint colours, brushes and canvases - as well as a painting lesson. "You don’t have to bring anything or worry about cleaning up," he said. "Just focus on being creative and having fun." For many, the first stroke is always the hardest. "Just start," Horan said. "You’re not painting a whole
eight-by-12 (foot) wall. It’s a 16by-20 (inch) canvas. The background is done first, with a large brush and large strokes. I’ve heard some people say they can’t draw a straight line without a ruler. Well, there are no straight lines in art. This is art, not drafting." Art can be daunting and intimidating, but the magic of social painting is everyone is learning the same strokes and techniques at the same time. "A lot of people look at a painting and say: ’I can never do that’," said Horan. "But once it’s broken down in a number of steps, into a process, they really can do that. Art is not just laid out on the canvas and there it is. Creating art step-by-step makes it more doable and not so overwhelming." Social painting is also gaining in popularity as a team

building exercise in the corporate world. Team building art takes on a different shape. There is a central theme and often the paintings fit in with one another, such as using the same colour pallet, painting the same scene in different seasons, painting one large canvas, or having each canvas make up a smaller part of a larger painting. With two campuses in Richmond Hill, hosting a social event for a good cause is great way to bring staff together, said Toronto Montessori School teacher Rachel Marks. Marks organized a social painting night tied to supporting 360 Kids, an organization dedicated to supporting homeless youth in York Region. "Aside from art teachers, most people are not that skilled, so it’s a real equalizing activity," Marks said.

HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com A new sector-based policing model recently adopted by York Regional Police will go into effect in Georgina April 24.
Changes include an expanded patrol area for police officers based out of YRP’s 3 district headquarters on Baseline Road in Keswick, which will now extend south to Holborn Road in East Gwillimbury. Already up and running in
police districts to the south, the new model comes on the heels of a review of front-line policing operations that included call management practices, officer workload and deployment, proactive enforcement and community engage-
ment activities, according to YRP Chief Eric Jolliffe. The intent of the new model is not only to deploy more officers during peak call times, but also manage response times, and increase proactive activities and the time officers
have available for community engagement, according to YRP. A similar streamlining and redeployment undertaken at #3 district in May of last year resulted in the overnight closure of the station from 11 p.m.
to 7 a.m. and swapping out an overnight on-duty desk constable for an additional officer in the field. Residents still have access to "live contact" with dispatch and an attending officer, if necessary, under the change.

THE BIBLE’S CENTRAL THEME The last great chapter of the human story is unfolding before our eyes. Readers of the Bible know that the central main theme of both the Old and New Testaments is the Kingdom of God on earth. It was God’s intention right from the beginning, as recorded in Genesis 1, to create a perfect world. “Then God saw everything that he had made, and indeed it was very good”. Unfortunately, it did not take long for that idyllic situation to be spoilt by Adam and Eve and as a result of their disobedience, sin and death entered this perfect world. But God did not leave the situation like that, but immediately provided a way for his creation to become perfect again and that plan for man’s salvation is mapped out in his handbook – the Bible. God promised to Eve that one of her offspring (Jesus) would give sin a fatal blow of the head (Genesis 3:15). We are fast approaching that time when Jesus will return to begin to fulfil that prophecy made over six thousand years ago. Let us remember that it is God’s intention for “the earth to be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea”. Today is the day to prepare ourselves for that event - to repent (change) and believe the good news all outlined in the Bible. To help you with your study of God’s Word – the Bible – please write for our free magazine: “Light On A New World”.
