JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com It wasn’t long before his death that Oscar Bauer finally gave up the ghost of his long lost 14-year-old daughter, who went missing one summer’s night in 1972 Kleinburg. Months before he took his last breath, the 87-yearold German immigrant made his way to Newmarket courthouse to declare his little girl deceased. His dream of finding her, or catching the person responsible for her disappearance, remains very much alive, according to the two men tasked with finding out what happened to Ingrid. It may be 44 years, eight months and 28 days since she vanished, but Det. Bill Courtice and Det. Bob Athwal, the two members of York Regional Police’s cold
case unit, admitted something they never have before publicly — tips are still coming into the service, the latest, just five years ago. Three others in 2011, 2009 and 2007. If nothing else, there remains the will within the community. It was on Aug. 16, 1972, that the striking blond long-haired girl — fresh home from her cottage in Thornbury where she’d been pinning for her childhood sweetheart Larry Teeple, 14, — would begin her well trodden journey toward his Pine Grove home, about six kilometres away. "I’ll be home by 10:30," she reportedly told Oscar before she left around 9:30 p.m. One of the last people to see her was her big brother, Brent Bauer, 61, a paralegal, who now lives in

Maple. "She was there waiting (on Islington Avenue) for a drive her south," he said, recalling how he ran out to grab some milk for his cereal and a package of cigarettes. "It was a different time back then, there was no public transit and ’mom and dad’s taxi’ was reserved when it was really needed, not for casual socializing." Unwritten rules involving hitchhiking were simple, you don’t go if the person looks scary or there are too many people in the vehicle, he said. "It was normal to walk miles and not have any cars pass you, or have two or three come by and not pick you up," he added. "But parents would often pick you up, because they’d want their own kids picked up in return." One more reported sighting occurred soon after, Terry Bell, then 18, saw Ingrid walking south on the west side of the road about 9:45 p.m. It was only when Larry called their home looking for Ingrid that Oscar and Brent began searching outdoors for Ingrid, immediately worried that something was very wrong, Brent said. After a frantic hunt that night, volunteers came out of the woodwork, some 200, according to an old Toronto Star article, who helped scour the 20-square miles surrounding the Bauer home. It went on to say that police officers waded into the Humber River for eight kilometres, Scuba divers plunged 40 feet underwater into an old gravel pit, coming up with nothing. It was Det. Sgt. Bill Hay who was assigned the case. For the first 45 days, he reportedly worked 12-, 14-,

Bauer family
Oscar and Gisela Bauer reacted differently to their daughter going missing, but it was equally devastating to them both according to son, Brent. Oscar passed away in 2016 while Gisela remains alive. Oscar spent plenty of time helping to create posters (right) and billboards of Ingrid in hopes he’d one day find her. and 18-hour days to locate Ingrid, travelling to Ottawa, Parry Sound, Hamilton and all over what’s now the GTA during his search. His son Bill Hay Jr., who fatefully met Brent through the paralegal community, said his father took the case personally and missed many dinners trying to find Ingrid. "He was always talking about this young girl," he said. A buyer at Kodak Canada, Oscar put up $3,000 of his own money toward a reward for details on her whereabouts, creating a billboard campaign in 13 Canadian cities. "Until the day he died, he blamed himself," said Brent, drawing heavy on his cigarette. "He didn’t say ’no, don’t go, wait until tomorrow,’ he didn’t drive her himself. My mom was just stressed, frantic. It affected them both deeply." After all the publicity
from the missing person case — an extremely rare occurrence in York Region or Toronto at the time — Brent said the family home became an attraction for late-night gawkers. "The curious would drive by, and that happened at all hours of the day and night," he said. He said the tips flooded in, Oscar manning the phone, a police recording device attached. There were reports from across Canada and as far as the United States, according to that same Star article: Ingrid had been seen walking on the side of the road near Lindsay headed for Pembroke with a guitar and a boy, about 18; she was seen hitchhiking in Scarborough; spotted in a blue Thunderbird; held in a North York apartment. There were 44 in all, each one having to be painstakingly investigat-
ed, but still nothing. Courtice and Athwal, who make up the only full-time cold case unit in the country, won’t discuss any of the information received, but say the most recent tips were investigated and turned up nothing. Larry Teeple said he still thinks about the case all these years later, still believing, as he did from the moment he discovered Ingrid was missing, that the case was somehow not random. "It never made sense to me that they would be able to conceal their crime for 45 years if it was totally random," he said from his Tottenham home.

Mossington wharf transfer, opening delayed HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com Opening Mossington wharf in Jackson’s Point back up to the public and dredging of the Black River will have to wait until after further environmental testing. Repair work on the wharf as well as the dredging of the river was supposed to have started in March as part of a grant agreement between the feds and the town struck in November of last year. Negotiated three years after the wharf was deemed unsafe and fenced off by the small craft harbours branch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, it included a $330,000 grant in lieu of the department undertaking repair work as part of the divestiture of the wharf to the town.
Further environmental testing, however, was requested by the town in March prior to accepting ownership of the facility. "We need to do underwater soils testing to ensure there are no environmental implications associated with removal of the dredged material," the town’s corporate communications manager Tanya Thompson said. Thompson was unable to confirm whether similar testing was performed the last time the area was dredged 15 years ago, but added the municipality wants to ensure it is being proactive in identifying any potential concerns since environmental standards evolve over time. Rosaleen O’Mahony of Fisheries and Oceans Canada said the federal agency is in the process of scheduling an environmental site assessment for this summer and that di-
vestiture of the facility remains "a priority" of the federal agency. Dredging along a portion of Mossington’s wharf at the mouth of the Black River has been an issue for some area residents and businesses dating back to the last time the river was dredged in 2002. Lake access, navigability and safe passage have been some of the consistent concerns raised by businesses, homeowners, ratepayers, community associations and boaters, as well as those who signed a 2012 petition requesting the dredging not only for property owners along the river who pay premium taxes for lake access, but also for the local business and tourist industry who rely on continued access for tourists. The wharf will most likely remain closed to the public for this year.

Repairing and dredging of the Mossington wharf at the Blue Bridge in Jackson’s Point has been delayed until the results of an environmental assessment most likely undertaken by the summer.

ABOUT US
Not our story to tell In last week’s Metroland Central report, we explored something of what it’s like to be an Indigenous person at this time in our history. The scathing results of the Truth and Reconciliation report along with the lack of clean water on reserves and the national disgrace that is the gruesome number of murdered and missing Indigenous women across Canada, are top of mind at the same time our country is celebrating 150 years of Confederation. We all celebrate Canada, we’re proud of our county and all of its people. But the Europeans who claimed an already populated land made and broke countless treaties and conspired to destroy the myriad cultures of First Nations people were guilty of betrayal, murder, rape, cultural annihilation and genocide. Many will argue Canada would easily have lost the war of 1812 without the support of Tecumseh and the fear his warriors instilled in the hearts of the American troops. They won that war for Britain and the deals made to assure this were defaulted on. It is high time we faced these truths and worked toward reconciliation. So when we approached this piece we did it in the knowledge that we could not carry our colonialist viewpoint into the report. Our jobs are usually going out, getting information, and then writing and publishing what we learned. But in this case we were loath to take the words said to us by Indigenous people and put it through our own lens, thus distorting it with our views. The voices had to come directly from Indigenous minds. Our first step was to send three reporters into communities to talk with Indigenous people and ask them what we should write about and who to talk with. We brought that information back and it was clear the authors of our the bulk of our pieces had to be the ones living the experience. The result was two opinion pieces, one from a woman who will not be attending the fireworks celebrations this month, and the other from a woman who believes education is the answer to growth and healing. We spoke with Indigenous people in Toronto and on reserves; with families, young professionals and artists looking toward a bright future while honouring a dark past. There is inspiration in their stories and lessons to be learned about the similarities and differences we share. And we have photos. Spending a day with folks, letting the camera’s eye capture the experience rather than put it into our words seemed most honest to us.

• LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Climate change science, consequences real Human-driven climate change is happening, and we can do something about it. Two letters last week disparaged action on climate change because, essentially, science is complicated and experts are often wrong. These letters miss several things. Climate scientists agree their work is complicated and they encourage scrutiny, which is why the IPCC rates its confidence in different conclusions. They recently found that the effects of humandriven greenhouse gas emissions (not just CO2) "are extremely likely to have been the dominant cause of the observed
warming since the mid-20th century." The consequences are real. Insurers take climate change seriously because they are paying for more extreme weather events. The IPCC says that two effects of CO2-driven climate change are acidifying and warming oceans. Last year, we saw more Arctic melting, and more coral reef dying, than ever before recorded. While these systems are complex, and they may bounce back, should we wait when we know we have pushed them toward extremes? Finally, positive things can counter climate change and, ultimately, coal and oil are finite and polluting. Let’s acknowledge the science is basically valid and focus on the

War Amps key tags available for order Most of us don’t realize how valuable our car keys are until we lose them. With remote starters and built-in unlock systems, keys are not as simple or cheap as they used to be, with many owners paying hundreds of dollars in replacement fees. But for more than 70 years, the War Amps key tag service has been helping Canadians avoid these costs. Each key tag has a confidential number so if you lose your keys, the finder can call the toll-free number on the back of the tag or place them in any
mailbox, and the War Amps will return them to you by courier at no cost. Although it’s a free service, donations provide child amputees, and amputees across the country, with vital programs and financial assistance for the cost of artificial limbs. Growing up as a right arm and partial left hand amputee, I can personally attest to the value of these programs in Ontario. If you did not receive a War Amps key tag, you can order them at waramps.ca or call toll free 1-800-2503030. Denise Swedlo Graduate of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program

Change is in the air for 2017 As the rainy days of spring switch over to the warmer days of summer, the feeling of change is in the air. I, too, have had a lot of changes with my new role since March 27 byelection success, as the newly elected Ward 1 councillor. This year will prove to usher in more changes; one of the most impactful will be the final decision for the Council Composition and Electoral Review. Why is Georgina conducting a Council Composition and Electoral Review? The town has not undertaken a review of its ward system and composition of council since 1996 - 20 years ago. Since then, Georgina’s permanent population has increased by 33 per cent and is forecast to see notable population growth over the next decade. As of 2016, the
CHARLENE BIGGERSTAFF Council Connection town’s population is estimated to be 53,6651. Current Ward Structure The council is comprised of seven members, including the mayor and the regional councillor/ deputy mayor, who are elected at-large, and five ward councillors. What have we learned so far? In April 2016 the consultants, Watson & Associates and Dr. Robert J. Williams, recom-
mended to council that consideration be given to revising the ward boundaries in order to provide fairer representation. 2017 Public Consultations Tuesday June 20, at the Peter Gzowski Library, 5279 Black River Rd., Sutton 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.; Tuesday July 4, at the Georgina Ice Palace, 90 Wexford Dr., Keswick 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.; Tuesday July 11, at the Pefferlaw Library, 76 Pete’s Lane, Pefferlaw 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.; Sunday July 16, at the Sutton Farmers’ Market. Your input will help to shape the changes for council composition and electoral future. I hope you take the opportunity to consider the much needed changes for our town’s governance.

Nutrition and aging go hand-in-hand Nutrition is important for people of all ages, but it’s especially important for men and women over the age of 50, who can dramatically improve their quality of life by eating a well-balanced diet filled with vitamins and nutrients. Though that may seem like common sense, research has shown that men and women in this age group, who are often referred to as “Baby Boomers,” are not necessarily as healthy as they may seem. While the baby boomer generation, which is generally regarded as those people born between 1946 and 1964, boasts longer life expectancies than any generation that came before them, some of that can likely be chalked up to advancements in medical care, including a booming pharmaceutical industry that seemingly has an antidote to every ailment. But a 2013 study from researchers at the West Virginia University School of Medicine found that baby boomers are less healthy than the generation that immediately preceded them, tending to be more likely to have higher levels of hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol. While that news might be sobering, it’s never too late for men and women over 50 to start eating healthier diets, which can reduce their risk of a wide range of ailments, including heart disease, stroke and osteoporosis.
The following are a few ways men and women over 50 can alter their diets so their bodies are getting what they need to live long and healthy lives well into their golden years. As is always the case, men and women should discuss any potential changes to their diets with their physicians to ensure the changes will be both effective and healthy. * Balance your diet. Kids hear of the benefits of a balanced diet seemingly from the moment they enter a classroom for the first time, but many adults fail to heed that basic advice as they get further and further away from kindergarten. When changing your diet, be sure to include plenty of protein and carbohydrates. Protein maintains and rebuilds muscles, which is especially important for aging men and women who might find themselves unable to keep up with the physical demands of everyday life as well as they used to. Including ample lowfat protein, which can be found in fish, eggs and low-fat dairy among other foods, will aid in muscle recovery, benefitting aging athletes as well as those men and women over 50 who recently started exercising as a means to regaining their physical fitness. A diet lacking in sufficient protein can contribute to muscle deterioration, arthritis and even organ failure, so it’s
important for men and women to prioritize including protein in their diets. Carbohydrates are also an important part of a balanced diet, as they are a great source of energy that can help men and women stay active well past the age of 50. Carbohydrates found in fruits, grains and vegetables are the most beneficial, as these contain valuable vitamins, minerals and nutrients. * Don’t denounce dairy. Dairy is a great source of calcium, which promotes strong bones and teeth. Men and women over the age of 50 want their bones to be as strong as possible because aging is one of the strongest risk factors for osteoporosis, a potentially debilitating medical condition in which loss of tissue causes bones to become brittle and fragile. Vitamin D is necessary to effectively absorb calcium, and vitamin D can be found in certain dairy products, including pasture-raised eggs and grass-fed cow’s milk, and can be generated when men and women get enough sunlight. Other healthy sources of vitamin D include salmon, light tuna packed in oil, sardines, and sun-grown mushrooms. * Cut back on sodium intake. Cutting back on sodium intake can be very beneficial, especially for men and women
over the age of 50, who are at greater risk of diabetes, hypertension and chronic kidney disease. But cutting back on sodium intake takes more than just throwing the salt shaker away. Processed foods, soups, canned goods, salad dressings, condiments such as mustard and ketchup, and breakfast cereals are just a few of the many products that may contain alarming amounts of sodium. That’s important to note, as excess sodium increases blood pressure by holding excess fluid in the body. That excess fluid puts an added burden on the heart, potentially increasing a person’s risk of stroke, heart failure, osteoporosis, cancer, and kidney disease. The problem with cutting back on sodium is that salt is so often relied on to make foods taste better, and many people find salt-free foods bland. But the rewards of reducing sodium intake are so significant that it’s worth making the adjustment, especially for men and women over the age of 50. No one is too old or too young to embrace a nutritious diet. But men and women over the age of 50 are in a unique position to vastly improve their quality of life by adopting a lowsodium diet that is rich in vitamins and minerals.

Regular exercise and a nutritious diet are two of the best things seniors can do to maintain their health. Exercise can delay or prevent many of the health problems associated with aging, including weak bones and feelings of fatigue. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says a person age 65 or older who is generally fit with no limiting health conditions should try to get two hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, while also including weight training and muscle-strengthening activities in their routines on two or more days a week. Individuals often find that gyms have the array of fitness equipment they need to stay healthy. But many people, including older men and women who have not exercised in some time, may
4FOJPST DBO PWFSDPNF GFFMJOHT PG BQQSFIFOTJPO BCPVU HPJOH UP UIF HZN
be hesitant to join a gym for fear of intimidation. Some seniors may avoid machines and classes believing they will not use the apparatus properly, or that they will be judged by other gym members. Some seniors may feel like gyms do not cater to their older clientele,
creating an atmosphere that is dominated by younger members and loud music. Such misconceptions are often unfounded, as many gyms welcome older members with open arms. But even if seniors find gyms intimidating, they
should still sign up for memberships. In such situations, the following tips can help seniors shed their fears and adapt to their new gyms. t 4UBSU UIF QSPDFTT TMPXMZ Shop around for a gym that makes you feel comfortable. Get fully informed about which classes are offered, and the benefits, if any, afforded to older members. t (FU B EPDUPS T HP BIFBE Make sure to clear exercise and gym membership with your doctor prior to purchasing a membership. He or she also may have a list of gyms where fellow senior patients have memberships. t #VJME VQ HSBEVBMMZ Begin with exercises you feel comfortable performing. Spend time walking on the treadmill while observing other gym members. Tour the circuit of machines and other equipment. Find out if you
can sample a class to see if it might be a good fit. t 'JOE B HZN CVEEZ Working out with a partner in your age group may encourage you to keep going to the gym and increase your comfort level. You each can offer support and enjoy a good laugh through the learning process. t %PO U HFU EJTDPVSBHFE Anyone working out for the first time, regardless of age, will feel somewhat out of place until exercise becomes part of a routine. Give it some time before throwing in the towel. Once you catch on, you may discover you enjoy working out. Fitness is important for healthy seniors. It can prolong life, help seniors maintain healthy weights and reduce their risk of injury.

Losing your teeth is not a normal part of aging. Thanks to healthier lifestyles, advances in oral and medical care, and a growing awareness of the importance of dental hygiene, seniors can expect to keep most, if not all, of their teeth as they age. But keeping those natural teeth healthy can be a challenge. Many medications taken by older adults can cause dry mouth, a condition that can contribute to cavities and other oral health prob-
lems. Seniors also develop more cavities on the roots of their teeth than younger adults. Dental hygienists encourage all older adults to brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and clean in between their teeth at least once a day. They also advise anyone with dentures (full or partial) and their caregivers to clean and soak dentures daily, and brush and massage the gums either with a soft toothbrush or a warm,

HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com A 200-year-old sugar maple at the heart of ClearWater Farm in Willow Beach has been designated as an Ontario Heritage Tree. In celebration of Canada’s sesquicentennial, Forests Ontario is mapping and telling the stories of 150 heritage trees across the province. Recognition is based on distinctness in size, form, age, rarity or their connection with historically significant events, individu-
als or locations. At the heart of ClearWater stands the Old Trading Tree, a 200year-old sugar maple where once Chippewas and early settlers met to trade and tell stories on the south shore of Lake Simcoe. Located at the Lake Drive entrance to the farm, today the old maple is the focus of a new project. It will be the centrepiece of a rain garden designed and built by kids, for kids. Leading the project are 38 students and six teachers from both
the Waabgon Gamig First Nations School of Georgina Island and Sutton Public School, as well as four volunteers. Once again, the Trading Tree will become a place for storytelling as well as experiential handson learning, said the Farm’s Annabel Slaight. "The Trading Tree being about exchange, so are the students activities: exchanges of ideas, of stories, of cultures, of customs, of processes and methodologies, of school curriculums and profes-
sional/expert knowledge." June 12 was the second of four sessions to be held this year in the garden being created to honour the Trading Tree, with students working in teams to design six different gardens; hummingbird, butterfly, pollinators, edibles, wildflowers and bog (frog). Determining how people would interact with their gardens and how their "rain" gardens would capture water flow from the roof of the farmhouse and filter and clean it as it makes its way down to the
lake were part of the process. The project is supported by the Great Lakes Community Guardian Fund and the TD Friends of the Environment. Landscape designer Lorraine Mennan of Pathways to Perennials is contributing knowledge and plants. The story of the Trading Tree garden is being filmed by local filmmaker Peter Sibbald. An event to celebrate the historic Trading Tree will be announced later this summer.

All about Gum Disease
By: Chris Buckle
Gum disease is one of the most common dental problems adults face, but gum disease can begin at just about any age. Gum disease often develops slowly and without causing any pain. Sometimes you may not notice any signs until the disease is serious and you are in danger of losing teeth. The good news is: • gum disease can almost always be prevented, • if it starts, it can be treated and • it can even be turned around (or reversed) in its early stages. Healthy gums and bone hold teeth firmly in place. Gums attach to teeth just below the edge of the gums. Gum disease affects the attachment between gums and teeth. Gum disease begins with plaque. Plaque is clear and sticky and contains germs (or bacteria). It forms on your teeth every day. It also forms where your teeth and your gums meet. If plaque is not removed every day by brushing and flossing, it hardens into tartar (also called calculus). Tartar cannot be removed by brushing and flossing. Tartar can lead to an infection at the point where the gums attach to the teeth (called the “point of attachment”). In these early stages, gum disease is called gingivitis. Your gums may be a bit red and bleed when you brush, but you may not notice anything. As gingivitis gets worse, tiny pockets of infection form at the “point of attachment.” You cannot see them, but you may notice puffy gums, traces of blood on your toothbrush, or a change in the colour of your gums. Your gums will probably not be sore. Over time, the infection breaks down the gum tissue that attaches to the teeth. This is called “attachment loss.” At this point, you will notice swelling, bleeding or colour changes in your gums. Along with “attachment loss,” gum disease causes the bone that holds your teeth in place to break down too. If gum disease is not treated, teeth become loose and in danger of falling out. The best way to deal with gum disease is not to get it in the first place. To protect your oral health, brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss at least once a day and see your dentist regularly for oral examinations. Treatment In its early stages, gum disease is very hard to see. You may not know that you have a problem. But every time you have a dental exam, your dentist looks for signs of gum disease. Your dentist may use a dental tool called a “periodontal probe” to measure where your gums attach to your teeth. Healthy gums attach to teeth just below the edge of the gum. If your gums attach to your teeth below this point, it is a sign of gum disease. X-rays show how much bone is around your teeth. If you have gum disease, getting rid of plaque and tartar gives your gums a chance to get better. That’s why in the early stages of gum disease, the best treatment is cleaning by your dentist or dental hygienist to remove built-up tartar, brushing twice a day to remove plaque and flossing once a day to remove plaque. When gum disease is more serious, your dentist may refer you to a dental specialist called a periodontist. A periodontist has at least 3 years of extra university training in treating gum disease, and in restoring (or regenerating) bone and gum tissue that have been lost because of gum disease. A periodontist also treats serious forms of gum disease that do not get better with normal dental care. When serious gum disease is found, brushing and flossing become even more important.

Why should I take an entry level job? On the road to reaching longer term job goals, many people take an entry level job. At the entry-level, workers need little or no prior training or experience. Although pay and job status are low at the entry-level, there are many other benefits that can make an entry level job highly valuable to you. Consider that you are: • Getting into the groove of working reliably and dependably every day • Familiarizing yourself with Canadian work practices • Adding work experience and references to help you get a better job in the future • Building skills, such as customer service or handling cash • Developing soft skills, including communication, conflict resolution and teamwork Popular entry level jobs include Counter Attendants at fast food restaurants, Retail Sales Clerks at stores and Labourers in construction, landscaping or factories.

The first determination that must be made is whether your partner is eligible to receive Spousal Support. If a couple are legally married, then an Application for Divorce and Spousal Support can be brought under the Divorce Act. A non-married couple may be entitled to Spousal Support if they cohabited continuously in a conjugal relationship for at least 3 years, or if they are in a relationship of some permanence and are the parents of a child. To determine eligibility, the Court considers the length of the relationship, the parties’ financial circumstances, and the role of each partner in the relationship, including the role of each party in raising the children (if any). A Spousal Support Order by the Court is binding and enforceable. It is all important for a Spousal Support Order to be drafted competently. A poorly drafted Spousal Support Order may have significant legal and tax consequences. Failure to pay under the Spousal Support Order may result in a suspension of your driver’s license, forfeiture of your property, a lien registered against your home, or even incarceration. Family Law is a complex and highly specialised field of law. Legal counsel can provide objective advice and guidance; advocate and negotiate on your behalf to achieve a fair and appropriate settlement; and by drafting documents in a manner that will preserve and protect your interests.

Committees Keep Sidewalks Clear of Hazards On behalf of the Accessibility Committee, we ask that all residents keep sidewalks clear of hazards. Did you know, if water is shooting over the sidewalk, a guide dog may identify this as a hazard and may guide their person onto the roadway believing it is to be a safer option? Other common examples are: • • • •
Sprinklers (both hoses and water passing over the sidewalk) Low hanging tree branches that may hang over sidewalks Toys, and Tools
For persons with mobility and vision impairment, these types of hazards can be particularly troublesome and may leave them without any other choice but to use the roadway rather than the sidewalk.

Town in ’desperate need’ of more diamonds: GMBA president HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com A $7-million pitch by town staff to fix West Park is still in the air, but its ball diamonds will remain at their current location versus being added to the Multi Use Recreation Complex (MURC) site. The decision, however, isn’t necessarily a home run for some user groups. Council stopped short of endorsing the rebuild, but did decide in favour of leaving the diamonds at their current site after a staff report tabled May 31 recommended a total rebuild of West Park supported by the Lake Simcoe Region
Conservation Authority (LSRCA) and ball user groups. The decision stemmed from discussions over whether moving the West Park ball diamonds, which are in need of extensive rehabilitation due to historic flooding and drainage issues, should be added to the proposed MURC’s overall footprint. Since most of the park is in a flood plain and includes wetlands that are both under the jurisdiction of the LSRCA, a $15,000 design concept and topographical study was floated by the LSRCA as a result to help inform the process. Rebuilding at an estimated
cost between $7- and $8-million, versus band-aid repairs or minor renovation with some grading and drainage work pegged at $3 million and $5 million, respectively, will correct the problematic site drainage issues, mitigate the annual operating costs associated with standing water and soil settlement and heaving, and solidify programming expectations for user groups, according to the report. The Georgina Minor Baseball Association supports the rebuild of West Park, but not in place of new baseball diamonds being built at theMURC. "This town is in desperate
need of additional diamonds, and it has been made very clear by our association to the town that a rebuild of the diamonds we currently have available is not enough," GMBA president Doug Waldron said. "To support the growth of youth baseball and still provide recreational baseball to adults in Georgina, additional diamonds are required." Ball registration has doubled in the past few years, with a ballpark 2,500 youth signing up for Georgina’s minor softball and baseball associations this year, while soccer registration has reached a plateau, according to the
town’s director of recreation and culture. Last year, there was an 8 per cent boost in baseball registrations right across the country, according to the executive director of Baseball Canada. Increased participation levels has resulted in a lack of places to play for many clubs. In addition, some diamonds were repurposed in the 2000s as other sports such as soccer overtook baseball in terms of popularity. Whatever rehabilitation is ultimately chosen during 2018 budget deliberations, regional Coun. Naomi Davison said West Park is a "substandard
facility," and leaving it that way is "not acceptable." A design and grading concept prepared by Cosburn Giberson Landscape Architects involves bringing the entire park up to The ROC field equivalent standard including a full drainage/grading plan, reconfiguration of four lit ball diamonds, improvements to the soccer area (sports field), adding a washroom facility, a playground structure, shelters, multi-use courts, trails and parking lots. Potential grants, tax levy contribution and/or longterm debt would be necessary to fund the project.

Sex abuser released from prison, charged in separate Georgina incident JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com When victims came forward to the courts about the sex abuse Robert McRae committed against them, they spoke of a horrible aftermath. One victim told the court how he tried to commit suicide, struggling to cope with the abuse. "I have felt anger for 27 years," he wrote in his victim impact statement. "I have lost the ability to be happy. I trust no one. After the incident, I wasn’t a kid anymore. I lost my innocence." Now York Regional Police say one more victim has come forward. The service said in 2015, a victim came forward regarding historical sex assaults that occurred between 2004 and 2012 in Ge-

offence. On June 8, McRae, a former paramedic, bus driver and arena worker, was charged again with multiple offences, including sexual interference, sex assault and forcible confinement. In 2012, McRae was charged with sexual assault and gross indecency following a police investigation into an assault against a 12-year-old boy by a man the boy knew as "Freeze" in 1986. McRae was sentenced in May 2014 in Lindsay to 17months in prison after he pled guilty to offences committed over several years, starting in 1986. He is scheduled to appear at Newmarket court June 19. - with files from Barbara-Ann MacEachern

5 ways to be supportive to bereaved on Father’s Day SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com 1. Balance Don’t go overboard about how devastating a day this must be, but don’t disregard this fact either. Say something like: "Father’s Day must be difficult for you" and then let the person determine how much he or she wants to talk about it. 2. Be sensitive Don’t go into great detail about the amazing time you had with your father on Father’s Day. 3. Help make new memories If you’re spending time with a father who has lost his own father, you may want to talk about his relationship with his own children. After focusing on his own father for so long, it might be helpful to offer a subtle reminder that Father’s Day is for him and his children, too. 4. Offer support Ask whether he or she would

like to do something to commemorate his or her deceased father on Father’s Day - with or without you - such as visiting his father’s grave. 5. Offer space If the loss is fresh or if this is his or her first Father’s Day
without a father, allow space to grieve and acknowledge how normal it is for a day like Father’s Day to trigger deep emotions. Source: Sara Dimerman, psychologist and author at helpmesara.com

"We’re a little bit delayed. We’re facing the same challenges we face every spring with the fresh growth that the rain and the heat bring on. We’re working very actively to have first cut completed by end of this week." Southlake Regional Health Centre’s family medicine chief Dr. Paul Cantarutti said this is typically the time of year when people with tree and grass pollen allergies visit doctors and clinics seeking relief. "It’s not unusual," he said. "I can’t say whether or not this season is worse but I have been seeing the typical number of patients with allergy concerns this year." Not everyone will seek out professional help to relieve their allergy symptoms. Some find relief with over-the-counter nasal sprays and antihistamines. There are a number of measures allergy sufferers can take to make themselves more comfortable. Watch online weather websites for a day-by-day pollen rating that lets people know if pollen levels are low, medium or high each day. When the pollen counts are high, stay indoors if possible with the windows closed and air conditioner on. Using a saline nasal rinse and showering before bed will rid your body of any pollen collected by being outdoors during the day. - with files from Tim Kelly

Seasonal allergy sufferers could be in for a long haul this year. ’Tis the season for stuffy noses, sinus congestion, itchy eyes and the rest of the symptoms associated with seasonal allergies triggered by pollen. While many enjoyed the abnormally warm days in February this year, those who suffer from pollen allergies are now paying the price. According to AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alan Reppert, that warm air gave a head start to the growing season, triggering allergy symptoms earlier than normal. It’s also possible the allergy season will be longer than usual. "The ragweed and pollen season is predicted to be a month longer because of environmental drivers," York Region’s health protection manager Helen Doyle said. "There are several drivers such as warmer weather, a milder winter, increased carbon dioxide levels and more frequent thunder storms." She added that the region is currently conducting a climate change and health vulnerability assessment that will further examine the impacts of climate drivers and how they impact residents’ health. Pollen will be one of many targets in the assessment along with other priority issues such as air quality, extreme heat events and flooding. It could take years to complete the study fully and as more data becomes available it will be included in the assessment. Currently, the region is looking at data from other organizations, such as Health Canada. City of Markham parks manager David Plant said tall grass and weeds also contribute to seasonal allergies. Rain is also a factor. From April 1 to the end of May, the city recorded 254 millimetres of rain compared to 79 mm last year over the same two months. "The wet conditions make it very difficult for large equipment to operate without leaving

LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com If you are looking for a job in York Region, this should come as some fairly
good news. Employers expect a modest hiring climate heading into the third quarter of the year, running from July through
September, according to the ManpowerGroup. Its employment outlook survey suggests 16 per cent of York employees plan to hire workers, while only 3
per cent anticipate handing out layoff notices, Maple Kyriacou of Manpower’s Markham office, said. The vast majority, 81 per cent, expect they will keep
their workforce at current levels. Nationally, the tone for the employment outlook for the third quarter is "cautious optimism," especially
in urban areas where there will be slow, but steady, job growth, Darlene Minatel, vice-president of Manpower Canada operations and strategic accounts.

Mankind was made for the glory of God. The prophet Isaiah (43:7) explains: “for I (God) have created man for my glory”. God has endowed man with wonderful powers which place him at the head of creation – powers which enable us to have faith in God, to trust God, to serve God, so that we can give glory to our Creator.

When those powers we have to give glory to God are ignored, wasted and spoiled, then God is robbed of His glory. King Herod did it (see Acts 12:23) and was smitten with death; King Belshazzar of the ancient empire of Babylon also did it and was destroyed (see Daniel 5:23). What does this mean? Two kings who gave no glory to God were both smitten. Think of the things of God’s natural creation – they give glory to God. “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows his handy work” (Psalm 19:1). Psalm 148 tells us the same is true of trees, flowers, hail, snow, ice, animals – they reveal the glory of God in the earth. How do they do it? By being true to the law God has place within them. On every tulip is the law of the tulip and when it breaks forth in all it’s splendour, it gives glory to God. When the eagle hovers on its great eagle wings in the sky, it is faithful to the law of the eagle and gives glory to God. They are what God intended them to be and they give Him glory. Peace will elude mankind until he gives “glory to God in the highest, and (then) on earth peace, and goodwill toward men”. Luke 2:14. What of the rulers of the nations today? Does any acknowledge God? Today is the day of opportunity to put God back in our lives. Email: info@ontariodawn.com Cda Post: PO Box 931, Sutton West, On L0E 1R0
