‘The Point’ has attracted tourists since Confederation HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com As the nation was coming together under Confederation, the people either living, day-tripping or cottaging in the many communities that make up present-day Georgina would have partied like it was 1867 in the

tourist mecca of Jackson’s Point. While Keswick is much of the focus of development and growth now, back in the 19th century it was still a sleepy little settlement surrounded by farmland, even though Roches Point almost became the capital of Ontario in 1882 since it was considered an ideal lookout across

Cook’s Bay to Holland Landing to provide security from American attack. It lost out to York (Toronto), however, in the legislature. It was Jackson’s Point that was drawing people by droves, either to work or play, according to Georgina’s Pioneer Village & Archives.

O Continued from front But an 1898 Newmarket Era article bears witness to the fact that “The Point” was the place to be and the province’s original “cottage country”. “The regular train was held on Tuesday morning till 8:20 in order to accommodate the immense crowd at the Point, which came from Toronto on Saturday. The train consisted of seven coaches and all were packed like sardines.” [Newmarket Era, August 19 1898] Jackson’s Point was a thriving tourist mecca, complete with hotels, restaurants, massive picnic grounds, cottages and dance halls, as well as an impressive “public transit” system that included boat, train and trolley. The Kenwood, the Lakeview House and Jackson’s Point hotels were some of the renowned establishments dotting the point, offering guests accommodations for roughly $1 a day. Raising a toast to the new dominion could have involved a 5-cent cola, but more likely a “pure liquor and even stronger cigar”, according to newspaper ads of the day. Ladies of the day could “depend on finding all the latest New York, Paris and London Fashions to choose from and satisfaction guaranteed” at dressmaker Miss Mitchell’s, located on what is now known as Historic High Street. Good thing, too, since what does one wear when

Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier comes to town in 1908 for a parade, or rub shoulders with 25,000 at one of Herb Lennox’s famous picnics in the park or for a leisurely tour of Lake Simcoe on the steamer Enterprise, which took guests on a tour of Lake Simcoe’s waters from 1883 to 1903? Submerged about five metres under water, the marine railway where the Enterprise was docked is one of the last remaining artifacts from an era gone by still left today. The extensive sawmill and ice operations at the Point are now long gone, but the legacy of marina operations remained right up until the sale of Bonnie Boats earlier this year. By the 1860s, entrepreneurs Miller and McDonald built a sawmill at Jackson’s Point, run by the Ramsay family of Sutton, who are already running the sawmill in that village. By the 1880s, Ramsay has joined the milling operation at Jackson’s Point. He is captain of the steamer tug, Kendrick, which is used for hauling logs around the harbour. By the 1890s, with the company’s timber supplies running short, much of the sawmill operation is torn down, with the lumber being reused to build massive ice houses. The company focusses on the growing ice industry at the Point and constructs a derrick and warehouses for loading and storage. The Lake Simcoe Ice Company is transporting

ice, packed in sawdust, via railway to Toronto and beyond. The Point was also home to a boat building business started in 1907 that spawned marina operations existing up until earlier this year. Changes in operations and owners had occurred, according to Melissa Matt of Georgina’s Pioneer Village and Archives. Art Grew came to Jackson’s Point and built a small boat factory over the site of the old sawmill in 1907. The business constructed sailboats, canoes and rowboats, as well as offering boats for hire. During the depression years, patron and prominent summer resident Clarence Kemp stepped in when Grew’s finances started to tank. Kemp bought the company but retained the Grew name, operating it and a second location in Penetanguishene under the Grew Boats Ltd. name up until 1950, when he sold the business. A stipulation of the sale, however, was a name change for the Jackson’s Point location, which was renamed Bonnie Boats. Under Bonnie Boats tenure, the harbour was dredged and an access canal with boat slips was constructed. Today, the area under new owners, as well as the town-owned Bonnie Park and Ramada Inn properties, are the focus of redevelopment strategies for the future of Jackson’s Point Harbour.

5 Canadians who have achieved great things Canadians have accomplished a lot in the 150 years since Confederation. Here’s a look at five Canadians whose accomplishments are particularly remarkable.

Tube, Ski, Snowboard

1. Chris Hadﬁeld, astronaut During his second of three trips to space, Hadfield served as Mission Specialist 1 during an International Space Station assembly mission aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. He made two spacewalks during the 11-day flight, the historic first for a Canadian coming on April 22, 2001. Hadfield marked another first, becoming the first Canadian to command a spaceship when he led the International Space Station crew from March 13 to May 12, 2013.

2. Sir Frederick Banting, scientist Banting and John James Rickard Macleod won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1923 for their discovery of how to extract insulin from animals to be used to treat people. This was the primary commercial source of insulin until the late 20th century, when the use of genetically-engineered bacteria for producing insulin began.

Macphail was the first woman elected to the Canadian House of Commons, serving from 1921 to 1940. She became the first woman elected to the Ontario legislature in 1943, representing the Ontario CCF. She lost the 1945 election, but won again in 1948, before losing in 1951.

4. Alice Munro, writer Munro received the Novel Prize in Literature in 2013, one of many accolades the noted short-story writer has received. She has also received the Governor General’s Literary Award for English language fiction in 1968, ‘78 and ‘86, the Giller Prize in 1998 and 2004 and the Man Booker International Prize in 2009, to name a few more.

5. Sir Sandford Fleming, engineer and inventor Fleming invented standard time. He proposed a single, 24-hour clock for the entire world after missing a train in Ireland in 1876 because the printed schedule listed the time in p.m. instead of a.m. He brought the idea to the International Meridian Conference in 1884, which accepted a modified version of universal time.

HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com A pilot transportation project in Georgina got a little extra mileage in the form of an extra year and a $50,000 top-up in provincial grants. An objective of the twoyear pilot started in 2015 between the town and Routes Connecting Communities, to come up with affordable transportation solutions for those who may "fall through the gaps" in society - including sole support for women and their children, youth, seniors, and people suffering from serious acute and chronic illnesses. Two years into the pilot, results indicate a total number of 8,524 clients took 18,665 passenger trips in a 12-month period; these results came from a town staff report tabled at council on June 14, regarding the pilot’s extension to March 31, 2018 and the additional $50,000 being granted by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to extend operating

ABOUT US

There is no place for intolerance in our society A dashcam video depicting an unidentified male berating an elderly man on Old Kennedy Road, just north of Steeles Avenue East, in Markham surfaced earlier this month and its contents are disturbing to say the least. The video, shot by Markham’s Tony Cao and posted to YouTube, shows an older man, who walks with a heavy limp, moving across the frame when a younger man, dressed all in black, appears from behind him and inexplicably begins to taunt him and repeatedly refers to him as "monkey". When the younger man notices Cao, he angrily approaches his vehicle and shouts racist things at him. The footage came to light less than two weeks after a woman in a Toronto grocery store was filmed demanding that employees who didn’t speak English "go back to China" and the same week a Statistics Canada report emerged showing that the number of hate crimes in Canada rose by five per cent between 2014 and 2015 with the number of incidents targeting Muslims increasing by 60 per cent. Statistics Canada noted that its figures were based around police-reported hate crimes, so the numbers could be even higher as not all incidents are reported to law enforcement agencies. Cao did report what he saw and has turned his video over to York Regional Police who are now investigating. He went on to say that he’d never experienced a racist incident of any kind during the 10 years has called Canada home. "I’m truly shocked, I’m just sad to see this sort of thing in society in this beautiful, peaceful country," Cao told the York Region Media Group in an interview. "I only thought this type of thing would happen in America." It shouldn’t happen anywhere least of all in Canada. Fortunately, the majority of Canadians are appalled at this kind of behavior and it certainly isn’t indicative of who we are as a nation. Still, it’s clear from this video and the statistics there remains plenty of room for improvement and that’s why it’s important for those on the receiving end of racial abuse, or who witness such an incident, to report it to the proper authorities for what it is: a hate crime. Similarly, we should be vigilant for discrimination that targets any group. Simply put, there’s no place for intolerance such as this in our society.

Minimum wage increase will harm small businesses Re: Wage increase could mean job losses, higher consumer costs: chamber, May 31. Dear Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne: On behalf of our membership and the dry-cleaning and laundry industry, I wish to advise you of our grave concern about your decision to raise the minimum wage from $11.40 to $15, a 41 per cent increase. Added to this is the cost of matching funds to finance CPP, OHIP, and other payroll taxes.

A BRIEF BIO An automotive professional with over 30 years’ experience, I’ve held several senior leadership positions and chaired many national committees with a leading manufacturer helping create effective policies to drive change. Among my most proud accomplishments, I created the Automotive Student Service Educational Training program (ASSET), at Centennial College to give up-and-coming technicians a jump-start at their careers. I served as chair and later consultant for 11 years. The ASSET training model is available across Canada. My love for history and taking on new challenges have led to work outside the automotive industry with more diverse organizations like the Henry Ford Museum and the U.S. Secret Service.

Heritage assessment slated for Jackson’s Point Harbour HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com The town bill for examining redevelopment options for the Jackson’s Point Harbour has bumped to just over $100,000 after council approved an $11,000 heritage impact assessment of the former Bonnie Boats Marina and Bonnie Park properties. An assessment of the properties will help determine if they should be placed on the heritage registry, which was the original request made by the Georgina Heritage Committee in May. If placed on the registry, that would result in council approval being required for demolition requests. Council would have 60 days to authorize a demolition permit or pass a bylaw to designate the property under the Heritage Act. In the committee’s opinion, the Jackson’s Point harbourfront area relates to more than just buildings

and is a multifaceted heritage landscape with an appearance that should be preserved. Aware that there are cases where buildings deemed to have heritage or cultural significance are demolished to allow for development, the committee felt in such cases a heritage impact assessment is often undertaken. An assessment would help council make the most informed decision "in the absence of detailed historical data, the proposed construction of the YRP marine unit and in consideration of the redevelopment plan that is now underway for the Jackson’s Point Harbourfront", according to the report. That decision came on the heels of two design charettes presented by The Planning Partnership at the Ramada Inn June 10 as part of its six-month, $90,000 process to develop a master plan for the harbour that will come before coun-

reiterated his plea to council June 14 to preserve the public parks in their entirety, backed by research into land registry and municipal records that may support the land was part of a Crown grant to the Village of Sutton in 1937.

bo agrees the area is rich in history, but added examining all options that best marry heritage preservation with positive improvement at the harbour should be on the table. Sebo has long been a proponent of beefing up town investment in all of its beaches, parks and launch sites. He points to Orillia’s recent waterfront redevelopment as an example of Lake Simcoe towns leveraging their waterfronts to promote economic development and tourism. A big part of that equation is boating, according to Sebo. "I’m happy for the process to evolve to its natural conclusions regarding the final design options, but there have to be boats and transient slips as part of any concept for the harbour as far as I am concerned, as well as public access and amenities," Sebo said. Jackson’s Point Harbour is an important waterfront gateway feature to Georgina, Sebo added.

Libraries have an important role to play in the community, says the newly appointed CEO of Georgina Public Libraries. David Harvie, who has served with Southern Ontario Library Services, Stratford and Brantford public libraries and most recently as the CEO of Kawartha Lakes Public Library during the past 25 years, will step into his new role on July 31 following the retirement of Mary Baxter after 29 years with Georgina. "Our libraries tell of the past, converse with the present, and speak to the future," Harvie said, adding in an age of "alternative facts" and "fake news," "our libraries remain vitally important as trusted places within our communities where people can seek the information that they need to improve their lives". After an extensive search, Harvie was chosen not only for his extensive credentials, but also his passion for Georgina.

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.

Canadian CRISIS

Quebec referendum of 1995 decided by razor-thin margin for Canada

Thursday June 22, 2017 POLO UNDER THE STARS • Polo • Dinner • Dancing • Champagne Saturday June 24 & Sunday June 25, 2017 POLO FOR HEART • Polo • Boutiques • Half time Shows • Champagne Divot Stomp • Picnic & Hat contests • BMO Kids zone

The 1995 Quebec referendum was decided by the slimmest of margins as Quebeckers voted 50.58 per cent to 49.42 per cent to remain in Canada. Turnout in the Oct. 30 vote was 93.52 per cent, the largest ever in the province, and was surprisingly close after the “No” vote rejecting sovereignty and remaining in Canada was strong at the outset of the campaign. But led by a strong push by Lucien Bouchard, the “Yes” side, supporting independence and sovereignty, gathered momentum in the final weeks and made the outcome razor thin.

NOUMAN KHALIL nkhalil@metroland.com Every day, millions of Canadians feel so proud to see the Maple Leaf flag flying high in the air. Canadians attained this flag on Feb. 15, 1965 after decades of debate in and outside the Parliament. That date, the day when Maple Leaf flag was officially raised on Parliament Hill, is now celebrated annually as the National Flag of Canada Day or Flag Day. In fact, every weekday before 9 a.m., the flag is replaced on top of the Peace Tower at Parliament Hill and the previous one is presented to a Canadian. Every citizen can obtain this 2.3-by-4.6-metre flag from the Peace Tower, but there is a wait list of about 50 years. Earlier, until 1965, the Royal Union Jack was the only other official national flag of Canada, while the Canadian Red Ensign was the unofficial flag. Bearing the Union Jack and the shield of the Royal Arms of Canada, the Red Ensign was never officially adopted as a national flag. However, the search for a new flag began in 1925 when Prime Minister Wil-

liam Lyon Mackenzie King’s government started work for possible new flag patterns. But the government immediately withdrew when there was a general uproar against any attack on the Union Jack. King tried again in 1945 with a joint committee of the Senate and House of Commons, but support for the Union Jack remained strong and many Canadians had so much emotional attachment to the Red Ensign and the Union Jack. Finally, in 1964, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson took up the issue and informed the House of Commons that the government wished to adopt a distinctive national flag. Following Pearson’s directions, submissions for new patterns were once again called. As a result, more than 5,000 designs were submitted. Among them, George Stanley’s Maple Leaf or l’Unifolie, which means ‘the one-leafed’ in French, was approved. Stanley was a Canadian historian, author, soldier, teacher, public servant, and more importantly the designer of the Maple Leaf flag, the identity and pride of Canadians all over the world.

War of 1812’s lasting legacy on the development of Canada CHRIS CLAY cclay@mississauga.net American president Donald Trump has told reporters he’s slapping a hefty tariff on Canadian softwood lumber imports into the United States and followed those incendiary remarks with statements that he’s eying the Canadian dairy industry next. And, Trump has made no bones about the fact he wants to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement. Some are calling it the opening salvo in a new trade war between Canada and the United States. However, many people in both countries might not be aware that the two nations have been at war in the past. But, instead of taxes, tough talk and trade disputes, it was fought with muskets, pistols and cannons and played a major role in the development of this country. On June 18, 1812, the Americans declared war on the British and thus began the War of 1812. An online exhibition about the conflict presented by Archives of Ontario notes that the war lasted until February 1815 and involved not only the United Kingdom but also its North American colonies (what was then known as Upper and Lower Canada) and its indigenous allies.

The Fall of Isaac Brock by C.W. Jefferys courtesy of the Archives of Ontario depicts the death of Major-General Sir Isaac Brock at the Battle of Queenston Heights during the War of 1812. There were repeated incursions on both side of the border throughout the years of war. Canada was invaded, as was the United States, and pitched battles — including the Battle of Baltimore and the Battle of Queenston Heights, where

fight their way to Washington and were responsible for the sacking and burning of the White House. According to the White House Historical Association website, American president James Madison and his wife Dolley were forced to flee in August 1814 when British troops marched on that nation’s capital. The website notes that on Aug. 24, the British troops entered the premises and enjoyed a meal that had been made for the president before setting the building on fire and letting the blaze almost completely destroy it. Despite victories on both sides, neither country could claim victory. Eventually, the war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in December 1814 in Belgium. However, as an interesting aside, word of the signed peace treaty didn’t reach the United States right away and actually wasn’t ratified by that country until February 1815. Due to that, the Battle of New Orleans was fought in January 1815 after the peace treaty signing and, in the battle, the Americans scored a decisive victory over a large British force. The war helped mythologize some of this country’s earliest heroes in Brock and Laura Secord, who walked over 30 kilometres in American-controlled lands to warn the British about a planned attack.

DEAN BENNET When Paul Henderson reminisces about the greatest goal scored in the history of Canada’s greatest game he can hardly get a word in edgewise. Whether it’s on the street, at a speaking event or at a party, Canadians line up not so much to ask him but to tell him about Sept. 28, 1972. That’s when Henderson tucked home the rebound to put the exclamation point on a Canada-Russia hockey summit for the ages. It was a shared experience when millions of Canadians literally stood as one, around TVs and radios in restaurants and classrooms, to watch Team Canada come back against heavy odds to defeat the Soviets in the eight-game series. “They want to tell me what they were doing, where they were, who they were with, how they felt. They remember it so vividly,” Henderson says. “That’s why I love it. There’s no negativity.” In the last 45 years how many of those stories has he heard? He pauses. “Millions,” he says. “It’s got to be millions.” Unpack what hockey means to Canada on the country’s sesquicentennial and you are immediately shin guard-deep in cultural touchstones: A Wayne Gretzky rookie card, a Starr skate, Roch Carrier’s story “The Hock-

While the origins of the game remain a hotly debated cold case, the coming out party

was at the Victoria Skating Rink in Montreal on March 3, 1875. Fittingly, it was also the site of hockey’s first brawl when the free skaters, demanding back their ice sheet, donnybrooked with the stick-wielding interlopers. The game exploded in popularity and as the 19th century ticked over to the 20th, order,

rules, leagues and hierarchies arrived. Gov. Gen. Freddy Stanley fell in love with the game and in 1892 donated the iconic cup that now bears his surname. By 1908, Canada began paying its players rather than watching its best and brightest flee to the first pro league that had opened four years earlier in the United States. Rules were tweezed and tweaked over the decades, primarily to open up the offence – more forward passing, six players instead of seven. Referees went from ringing bells to blowing whistles. The NHL turns 100 this year and it has delivered to Canada the indelible images defining the game across generations: Howie Morenz’s coffin at centre ice at the Montreal Forum, the Gordie Howe hat trick, Mario Lemieux’s 1987 glove-side high Canada Cup winning goal, Gretzky’s tears over his 1988 trade, Sidney Crosby’s golden goal in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. There are sounds as well as sights: Roger Doucet’s sonorous bilingual version of national anthem at the Montreal Forum, broadcaster Foster Hewitt’s signature “Hello Canada and hockey fans in the United States and Newfoundland,” the ubiquitous duhduh-ta-duh-duh opening to Dolores Claman’s “Hockey Night in Canada” theme song. It has touched culture and politics. For the full story, visit yorkregion.com/Canada150

1. Louise McKinney Irene Parlby, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Emily Murphy and Nellie McClung were also members of the Famous Five women who argued successfully before the Supreme Court that women are ‘persons’, but it was Louise McKinney who made history when elected to Alberta’s legislature in 1917. She was the first woman elected to legislature in the British Empire. She represented the district of Claresholm as a member of the Non-Partisan League. 2. Viola Desmond Viola Desmond refused to leave a whitesonly section of the Roseland Theatre in New Glasgow, N.S. in 1946. Although that act did

not break any laws, she was unjustly convicted of a minor tax violation as punishment. She was posthumously pardoned in 2010 and is a Canadian civil rights icon. She is sometimes referred to as Canada’s Rosa Parks. 3. Bobby Hull Unhappy with his pay in the NHL, Bobby Hull jumped to the rival WHA in 1972 for a 10-year contract with a $1-million signing bonus. Hull’s decision to move to the Winnipeg Jets of the WHA meant he was excluded from the 1972 Summit Series, during which only NHL players were allowed to play for Team Canada due to the involvement of the league and its player’s union. He won the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in 1961 and

inces, Willams launched his protest campaign. The campaign was successful, as the Conservatives didn’t win any seats in Newfoundland and Labrador and claimed only 17 per cent of the popular vote in the province. Despite this, the Conservatives won a second minority government.

5. Emily Howard Stowe The Toronto School of Medicine’s vice-president told Emily Howard Stowe, “The doors of the university are not open to women and I trust they never will be”, but she didn’t let that stop her. She went on to study at the New York Medical College for Women and become the first female doctor to practise in Canada. Stowe opened her medical practice in Toronto in 1867 – the same year as Confederation. However, due to discrimination, she didn’t obtain a licence to practise in Ontario until 1880. Kidd Trout was the first female physician to obtain a licence to practise in Canada. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree, as Howard Stowe’s daughter, Augusta Stowe-Gullen, was the first woman to earn a medical degree in Canada.

5 ‘rebels’ every Canadian should know about

There’s something wrong at the LCBO.

HAS A SIX-FIGURE SALARY AND A FULL-TIME JOB, BUT MAKES OVER 84% OF HIS LCBO RETAIL EMPLOYEES WORK PART-TIME.

Over 84% of the people who work at your LCBO store have no choice but part-time. Shifts can be as short as two hours. Some of them work every day for weeks in a row just to get enough hours to scrape by. And even if they’ve worked for the LCBO for 10 or 15 years, they’re no closer to getting a full-time position. That’s not right. A successful Crown corporation like the LCBO should be setting an example for Ontario. And if Mr. Soleas can’t do it, let’s get someone who can.

Forest manager picks York’s top five hiking trails

THE NORTH TRACT, WHITCHURCH-STOUFFVILLE It is at the south-west corner of Davis Drive and Hwy. 48. Kevin Reese, program manager of forest conservation for York Region, recommends the 20 km trail in the North Tract.

ELDRED KING TRACT, WHITCHURCH-STOUFFVILLE For more of a challenge, Reese suggests heading to Eldred King Tract at 16232 Hwy. 48. It is south of the North Tract and is one of the larger tracts in the York Regional Forest.

| Georgina Advocate | Thursday, June 22, 2017

Check out these 5 hiking trails

THE BROWN HILL TRACT, EAST GWILLIMBURY It is one of the more popular places to ride bicycles. Some of its trails are well suited to mountain biking. There are 15 km of trails.

HAPPY VALLEY TRACT, KING This tract is on the 7th concession, King. This is a great spot, but hard to find, Reese said. You need to access it from north of the property. Come from the Pottageville side or 7th concession. A creek runs through part of the property.

PEFFERLAW TRACT, GEORGINA It has a Pefferlaw Brook. Parking spots are at the end of Forestry Drive. This runs south of Old Homestead Road. Some people like going across to Pefferlaw Brook for fishing. – Go to York.ca/trails for information and map.

neighbour said the patient a 20-year-old woman who was babysitting a fouryear-old girl at the girl’s family home - didn’t appear to be conscious. Three days later, York Region police say the woman remains in life-threatening condition, still hooked up to life support. "They were working on her for quite a while," said neighbour Melissa Leonard. "She didn’t appear to be conscious." Police say the four-yearold girl, who Leonard saw wearing a bathing suit amid the emergency scene, called 911 to report the inci-

dent. Although unaware exactly what transpired in the lead up to the incident, a police source described what appears to be a terrible accident. According to the officer, the woman and the girl were either playing in or near the pool in the lead up to 5 p.m. when the fouryear-old went inside the house to retrieve her toys. When she came back out to the poolside, she says her babysitter was drowning in the deep end of the pool. The source indicated the babysitter did not know how to swim.

Leonard, a mother-ofthree who lives directly across the street, said her daughter and the fouryear-old both attend Prince Charles Public School and take the bus together. "Well she’s obviously a very smart little girl," she said. "What she did is amazing. "I know the babysitter because I see her when she picks up the girl, maybe two times a week after school for the past few months." Asked how she feels, Leonard said she’s having a difficult time with the incident.

Another tragedy has befallen the Plunkett family after fallen York Regional Police Const. Rob Plunkett’s son, Jeff, died following a Springwater crash June 16. Const. Plunkett was crushed by a car and dragged during a traffic stop in 2007, during which he was investigating air-bag thefts. Nadeem Jiwa was convicted in the death. Const. Plunkett continues to be remembered via the Rob Plunkett Memorial Baseball Tournament, put on by his good friend and current York police Insp. Lou Malbeuf, and the annual Special Olympics Torch Run bearing his name. In the June 16 incident, OPP say Jeff, from Barrie, was driving his motorcycle near the area of Hwy. 26 and Anne Street North in Springwater when it collided with another vehicle, claiming Jeff’s life. There was an outpouring of grief on social media in the aftermath, with friends and family posting pictures of the 26-year-old who, like his father, was a natural athlete, particularly gifted at basketball. An account with the name Corey Dennis wrote a special tribute to Jeff on his Facebook account. "It never seems real, to hear that such an amazing person has been taken from us, Jeff Plunkett you are one of the most happy go Lucky, loy-

al, and stand up guys I have ever had the pleasure of knowing," he wrote. "You had a rare ability to light up any room and definitely could always put a smile on my face when I was down. My heart goes out to your family and may you rest in peace Jeff ! It’s never good bye, just so long for now friend, until we meet again!" Another user, with the account name Adam Slack, wrote Jeff was "one of the good guys". "Jeff Plunkett was a brother, a son, a friend, a hearty handshake, a smile, a teammate, a coworker and so many other things to so many people," he wrote Jeff, along with his brother, Matt, played with the University of Ottawa Gee Gees men’s basketball team. One media article speaks of them playing in tribute to their father. Jeff’s visitation will be held at Adams Funeral Home in Barrie on June 21 from 6 to 9 p.m. The funeral will occur in Adams’ chapel at 11 a.m. on June 22. Jeff is survived by his mother, Sonja, and siblings, Matthew and Amanda. The family requests any donations be given to Special Olympics, a charity that had a very important spot in Const. Plunkett’s heart and continues to receive support from York Regional Police, which has continued his fundraising for the organization.

YRT/Viva changes coming Canada Day York Region public transit riders will have to get on board with a number of changes coming to YRT/Viva as of Canada Day.

The changes will cover the twozone fare structure, paper tickets and passes and fare increases, general manager Ann-Marie Carroll, said. At least one long-time rider is concerned about the adjustments. Vijay Sandrasagra, a language interpreter and security officer from Richmond Hill who uses several GTA transit systems, is worried they could create a hardship

for seniors and lower-income residents and cost riders more in the long run. The region is scrapping its two zones, meaning riders travelling north of Bloomington Sideroad will no longer have to pay an extra $1. While fares based on distance will likely be brought in across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area in time, it makes sense to do get rid of the two zones in York now,

Carroll said. "The only zone that we had was in the north-south direction. We don’t have zones in the east-west direction. So, it makes it consistent across the region," she said. Riders will continue to be able to travel on one fare for two hours. But Sandrasagra believes YRT/ Viva will eventually find a way to recoup the lost revenue from eliminating the two-zone fares by

spreading the cost to all riders. YRT/Viva is also going paperless. As of July 1, paper tickets and passes will no longer be sold, although they will continue to be accepted until the end of 2017. The region is introducing a new mobile app called YRT/Viva Pay, which will allow customers to purchase fares through their smartphones. It will be available for free as of July 1.

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
