HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com "No duff." That’s the most important thing, among many others, you learn as a participant at the Georgina Fire Department’s Fire Ops 101, an exercise in which politicians and media are invited to live like a firefighter for a day. Those two words would allow the more than two dozen firefighters who volunteered on their day off to help make the event happen know if Mayor Margaret Quirk, councillors, town staff and media living out their childhood, yet irrational, dreams of being a firefighter couldn’t handle the heat during any of the "training exercises". "If at any point you feel uncomfortable, those two words we use in the fire service let us know you’re in trouble and you need help," says Capt. Doug Bolton. Bolton speaks in short, eventoned declarative sentences, with l See FIREFIGHTERS, page 14

A "downed frog" at The ROC splash pad perhaps best illustrates the proposed benefits of a new baseline standard for all of Georgina’s park facilities and communication protocol yet to roll out. Council adopted the new policy after a staff report was tabled June 21. General guidelines, as well as past practices, used up to now by the parks and facilities division represent a "haphazard approach" and often led to "gaps in the level of service provided" with no detailed or specific maintenance standard being followed, according to the department manager, Andrew Wall. Without clear direction, service for such things as turf maintenance or snow removal were often reac-

tive, inconsistent and complaint-driven rather than via general standard in terms of priority, Wall added. While annual reports will measure level of performance against the standard and determine if problems are simply one-offs or systemic in the system, regional councillor Naomi Davison also wanted a system of interim communication addressing "small fixes" or unplanned facility closures in addition to the standard service requests. "Our frog went down at the splash pad," Davison said, as a humourous example to her serious request. While the new policy will have standards in place for maintenance and tracking service requests, Davison credited the town’s Facebook postings for quickly and efficiently addressing resident ques-

tions in real time regarding how and when staff were going to get the water apparatus up and operating as quickly as possible. "The frog (incident) was very tongue in cheek, it was very entertaining and no one is going to be upset because they are aware in advance. I’m able to answer the question because I am aware in advance. That’s what I’m looking for," Davison said. Service interruptions are currently identified through the website, but the town is working on a protocol as part of its customer service program rollout "that does the more deliberate, more timely, more effective communication of service disruptions on the website to the public, and to council, to address exactly the type of thing like ’the frog is down’ ", CAO Winanne Grant said.

Through other eyes Drawing parallels

DORITA PEER

LINDA LYONS

It was a Sunday. On March 17, 1957, when they took that photo for the Toronto Telegram I was worn out and fast asleep, so I missed all the hoopla. The doll hugging me is almost as big as me. She looks wide-eyed for both of us. New Canadians, the caption reads. The doll wore away, but my life just got bigger and better. They were children during the Great Depression, adolescents during the Second World War, and young parents when the Hungarian Uprising broke out. Theirs was no cake walk through life. You would hardly know it, growing up in our house. My parents made their lives’ aim to protect us from their past. To give us a lifetime of Sundays. They never called Hungary "The Old Country" or "The Motherland." From the moment they touched down, Canada became their home and native land. How they struggled to shed the past! Moving homes, almost every year. Buying not one, but three sets of encyclopedias. My father read the Sunday

Telegram to my mother. When her English got good enough, she stopped cleaning houses and began a career in banking. He, a musician, carried plaster and lumberjacked before getting his electrical journeyman papers and becoming a staunch union man. How they worked! My brother and I grew up footloose latchkey kids, strong and free, in the city and in the beloved north lands, where they also ran a holiday resort business. We had escaped in the dark, hidden away on a milk run to Austria. The Red Cross dropped us off in England, where my father was offered America, Australia or Canada as our final destination. "The country without military conscription," is what he answered. Emphatically. He had chosen for us the right to choose how we would live. My parents did not come to this great land dreaming of riches. They came to give us a true childhood, glorious and free. Their traumatic past left its mark, but not on us. Sweet dreams and a promising future, the caption reads - no greater gift can any child be given.

I could see the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica in the distance but I couldn’t cross the street to get there. Brave pedestrians joined the intricate eight lane ballet of cars and scooters, squealing brake and honking horns. Over the din I heard, "Hey Canada". A not-so-young man darted into the chaos and arrived at my side, slightly out of breath but grinning. "Maple Leaf," he said pointing to my travel bag. "Yes, yes," I nodded with relief. "My brother’s wife’s cousin lives in Canada. You must know him." "Canada’s a big country," I said. "What’s his name?" "His name is Dario but in Canada he is David, like the statue." He laughed and poked my Maple Leaf emblem. "Come, I show you how to cross, and you tell me about your country." After dusk, the sidewalks in Athens were busy with tables of men gesturing and arguing. Someone reached for my empty chair and spoke too fast for me to identify one word from my night school conversational Greek vocabulary.

NIVETHA YOGARAJEEV I pointed to my maple leaf and nodded with my raised hands in the universal position for I-have-no-idea-what-youare-saying but go ahead and take the chair. "Canada! You going to our islands?" "Yes, next week." "Good. Very beautiful. My name Manos. I have farm, you stay there free. Canadians very good people." My luggage was lost and I was hungry. Searching for my hotel on dark, narrow streets along the canals, I stumbled into a deserted pancake house. A student server, intent on closing, was washing down long wooden tables and scowled in my direction. Suddenly, her face brightened and she pointed at the travel bag clutched in my arms. "Canada," she said in perfect English. "Please, sit. I’ll be right with you," and disappeared into the kitchen, returning with a plate of perfect pancakes and three pitchers of syrup. As I began to thank her for her kindness, she raised her hand in protest. "No, no, please. You are Canadian. All Holland thanks you. We will never forget."

Johnston Canyon Waterfalls in Alberta or the yearly excursion to Niagara Falls in Ontario did not compare to my epiphany at Montmorency Falls in Quebec. This location was intriguing because the journey to and fro wasn’t seamless, rather it represented a jagged mosaic. Despite having Canadian university degrees, navigating my way around Quebec was challenging without knowing French. As I stared at the falls in awe, I started drawing parallels between my non-English speaking family’s transition as Canadians in the early ’90s. As I jotted notes down in English, I had a flashback of my mom jotting things down in Tamil so she can help me with my school projects. As I was going to turn right at a red light, my husband reminded me that in Quebec this was not allowed and I thought of all the unlearning of laws and norms that my parents had to do. Although I had a great time exploring the falls, routing was not a nonchalant task and I thought of how my dad had gotten lost on the TTC despite his brothers instructions.

When we walked into a café to wake up and warm up with a hot beverage we stared at each other with blank faces as we didn’t know what the words on the menu meant. Here, I thought of my mom ordering something for me based on the pictures and being conscious of her pronunciation. As I took in the beauty of the falls, gusts of wind blew pieces of rocks and cold mist into my hair, I wished that I had brought a warmer jacket and imagined the thoughts that crossed my parents’ minds while crossing the streets carrying groceries and me through a windy snowy path. As I stood trying to capture an image of the falls on my phone, I noticed all the different directions one can choose to go. Some that require effort, some that require endurance and some that are just dangerous. In that moment I realized that my parents also had to choose safety over familiarity, warmth and comfort.

Fight the Bite! against West Nile virus

What is West Nile virus? West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne virus that is spread to humans from the bite of an infected mosquito.

The virus cannot be transmitted person-to-person by touching, kissing or sharing cups and utensils with someone who has the virus.

Most people infected with West Nile virus do not get ill at all. Those who do may experience flu-like symptoms within two to fifteen days, including: • Fever • Muscle weakness • Stiff neck • Confusion • Headaches • Sudden sensitivity to light Sometimes West Nile virus can cause severe illness including meningitis and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain).

How to protect yourself Whenever you spend time outdoors this summer, take the necessary precautions to protect yourself from mosquito bites.

EDUCATION

HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com For the first time in nearly two decades, the residents of Georgina have a new representative at the York Region District School Board table. Two-time candidate Cynthia Cordova is the newly elected public school board trustee after the byelection held June 23. The married mother of two and Keswick resident claimed victory in a field of five candidates for the seat left vacant after the resignation of Georgina trustee Nancy Elgie, who held the position for 17 years. Cordova is being credited for running a knowledgeable campaign, which included proposed solutions to help the board move toward being more inclusive, accountable and transparent after a turbulent year and scathing report released in April that

slammed the board on numerous issues. That involves addressing a sweeping indictment involving lack of leadership and an environment of mistrust, as well as systemic equity, accountability and transparency issues at the board, laid out in a 33-page report released in April after a three-month probe launched at the request of Education Minister Mitzi Hunter. Cordova, who ran in the 2014 election against Elgie, says institutional changes are required to move the board forward, especially as it deals with meeting the 22 directives set out by the province. Over $850,000 of a total $1.45 billion 2017-2018 budget approved by trustees earlier this month is allocated to fund the Minister’s Directions, including the Every Student Counts Survey, the creation of a Human Rights Office and the introduction of an in-

Byelections usually fare far worse and this year’s was a case in point with only a total 620 votes being cast. Of those, Cordova garnered a total 370, or 59.7 per cent, of the vote captured between Georgina’s five wards and advance polls. Houston garnered 18.7 per cent, Porter 14.2, Boudreau 4, and Legault 3.4. Criticized by some for conducting a byelection pegged at just over $162,000 with only 15-months left to the term before the next municipal election in 2018, the board stood behind its decision after posing appointment versus byelection options to Georgina residents. Board chair Loralea Carruthers said the decision ensures the residents of Georgina are represented in a manner that honours their voice and democratic participation.

were highly criticized. Cordova advocated for survey input not just from the 13 parent councils in Georgina, but all 200 schools across York Region regarding the hiring, televised board meetings to increase accountability, as well as increased funding and resources for special needs students, antibullying efforts and achievement results at the local level. Despite the fact candidates Rick Boudreau, Cordova, Megan Houston, Robin Legault and Justin Porter launched impressive and informed campaigns via social media, detailed websites and faceto-face meetings, voter turnout in Georgina was abysmal. Trustee elections historically garner lower participation than their municipal counterparts, with the latter averaging around 38 per cent turnout.

ABOUT US

Pride Parade a truly inclusive celebration This year’s York Region Pride Parade is truly something to be proud of. After several years in Richmond Hill, the annual celebration of inclusivity moved north and, for the first time, took place on Main Street in Newmarket. Parade organizers, participants and the community at large came together to create something special in the form of an event where everyone was welcome. Indeed, the entire event had a family-friendly feel and the good vibes culminated with a concert and party at Riverwalk Commons. Residents came out in droves to enjoy the fun and a number of local businesses also got into the spirit by decorating their storefronts and/or serving up unique, Pride-themed menu items. Even the police had a significant presence at the event with officers from York Regional Police, South Simcoe, Peel, Durham, the RCMP and the OPP in attendance. And while police in Toronto had been told they weren’t welcome at the city’s annual Pride festivities this year, at least not in uniform anyway, police at York’s parade received cheers and applause as they marched their way down Main. "York Regional Police has been amazing; they’ve been with us 110 per cent," said parade organizer Jacob Gal, adding it’s very different in York compared to Toronto, with its longer history of "intense and complex" interactions. The parade had previously taken place along Yonge Street in Richmond Hill but relocated this year due to issues associated with closing the busy regional thoroughfare. Newmarket’s Main Street, which is not a vital artery for traffic, proved to be an ideal alternative venue. "This is not a competition," Gal went on to say. "What is important here is this is a chance to see what it’s like when the entire community works together. When there’s teamwork, suddenly a lot happens." He’s absolutely right. All of that co-operation resulted in a celebration in which anyone could take part and feel welcome and, when you get right down to it, that’s what any community event should really aspire to achieve. With so many forces in the world seemingly trying to divide us, it’s wonderful to have something like Pride that endeavours to bring us together. Kudos again to the organizers and here’s hoping future events continue to incorporate that unifying spirit.

• LETTERS • A tribute to Canada’s 150th anniversary I have composed/compiled a tribute to Canada’s 150th anniversary. CANADA, 150 YEARS One hundred fifty years ago, our country came to be, A land where folks came from afar, to settle and to prosper, Though some unpleasant times were had, and faced along the way, Our people came together, and became, the land we are today. We thank the Huron-Iroquois for lending us their name, Kanata what they called their home, where everyone roamed free, Kanata, now our Canada, a fitting name for us to share,

From sea to sea to sea. O Canada, our Canada, we welcome all to see. From mountains west, through central plains, to east diversity, With love for all, disdain for few, to this we all agree. O Canada, our Canada, no place I’d rather be. We share one God with all the world, with efforts to bring peace to all, Accepting those whose views are not as inclusive as ours, Compassion, generosity, for everyone we feel. Defending rights and privileges, bestowed upon us all, It makes no sense to build a fence to peace and understanding, and find armed might not always right, a rose more welcome than a thorn,

Nurturing individual creativity benefits us Math professor Richard Hoshino is right about the Hollywood’s caricatures of geniuses as superhumans or social misfits. And he is absolutely right in concluding that the fault lies in our schooling - which at its worst de-

prives children of authentic mathematical experiences that involve real-life problem-solving and creative thinking skills. His comparison is priceless: that kind of math education is like art education through paintby-numbers. Prof. Hoshino has a more serious message: if schools engage students in imaginative problemsolving in all subject areas, then they will draw the very best from them. Obviously, this also applies to society as a whole since Canada depends on how well it nurtures the abilities of every citizen. In the final analysis, that is what it truly means to be gifted. The more we nurture individual creativity, the more we benefit collectively. Salvatore (Sal) Amenta

Relive your childhood with giant slip and slide Giant slip and slide at the ROC one of the fastest Urban Slides slip and slides. AMANDA PERSICO apersico@yrmg.com Everyone remembers the words, the song and the moves you run, you slide and take a dive. The Urban Slide is bringing everyone’s childhood favourite summer activity to the ROC, 26479 Civic Centre Rd., in Georgina for the Canada Day weekend. That’s right, a slip and slide fun for the whole family. But not just any slip and slide. The Urban Slide, put on by 365 Sports, is a super slip and slide, 1,000 feet long. "Everyone did it growing up," said company founder Jesse Fulton. "We’re just taking it to the next level." Georgina’s ROC is one of

about a dozen urban slide locations this summer, double the fun compared to last year. And it’s all about location, location, location. There is a specialized formula that takes into account the degree of the hill, distance and elevation. "All that comes into play to make sure sliders have a good time," Fulton said. "We’ve never put a slide in a bad location." The ROC offers sliders a different location - it’s the first time the Urban Slide will be on grass. "We don’t know how fast the slide will go until we test it," said operations manager Rick Sirianni. "But we can say for sure, this will be one of the fastest Urban Slide events we’ve ever put on." The 1,000-foot-long slide has three lanes and is about 30-feet wide. Riders must be 44-inches tall or at least five-years-old and must ride on an individual inflatable tube. "Everyone is craving to be a kid again," Fulton said. "This is your chance." Riders can purchase single,

Urban Slide Canada will be setting up a 1,000 foot slide at the ROC in Georgina July 1 and 2. triple and all-day ride passes for both individuals and families. There are three different ride times for both days, July 1 and 2. There is a right and wrong way to slide - slide out from the

black, rumble mats. "Many people think they need a running start," Fulton said. "We call it the scorpion wipe out, where the feet come above the head."

Sliders are encouraged to purchase slides online for a discount compared to day of tickets. For more information and to register for a ride time, visit theurbanslide.ca

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.

Firefighters have challenging, varied role l Continued from page 1

unbroken eye contact. Just like all firefighters, who depend on quick assessment and clear communication while making life-and-death decisions for the public and themselves. He also has a sense of humour, which is good, since Bolton most likely didn’t expect the phrase would be invoked during suiting up in our gear at the Keswick fire hall. Looking nothing remotely close to a firefighter, except for the incredibly heavy boots, bunker gear, helmet and 50-pound oxygen tank, donning the face mask connected to the tank is enough to send off waves of flailing claustrophobic panic. "Don’t worry, you get used it," says firefighter Chris Baldoni, as the new "recruits" - looking like blue Teletubbies - struggle to suit up in what firefighters have

about 90 seconds to do on a fire call. My "platoon" includes Bolton, training officer and GPFFA president Tim MacRae, Quirk and regional councillor Naomi Davison. Our first simulated call at a training site on Woodbine Avenue is medical, since firefighters are often the first responders to general emergency calls and are trained in many medical procedures. Our "patient" takes a turn for the worse and requires CPR in repeated two-minute bursts. No problem, until you realize you’re about to pass out from one revolution, let alone three, before you rotate out only to do it again until, hopefully, you can attempt to defibrillate your patient. Often, firefighters continue CPR while paramedics administer drugs, as well as deal with distraught and

concerned family members, clear the way of obstacles including shovelling snow if necessary to assist getting a patient to the ambulance, and perform the sad tasks involved if a patient dies on scene. Identifying and responding appropriately for both victim and firefighter safety to the potential opioids fentanyl and carfentanil, a heroin laced with elephant tranquilizers 100 times more potent than fentanyl, is also an increasing part of the job. Working up a sweat and feeling like my arms were going to fall off after doing chest compressions in my bunker gear wasn’t necessarily a good omen for rescuing a trapped "victim" of a car accident - after rehab time from the first training station. One quickly learns you don’t try and "fight" the 50pound hydraulic "Jaws of Life" and that firefighters

see some pretty gory and heartbreaking sights on accident scenes. An optimum 20-minute window for auto extrication gets even more complicated having to make life-anddeath decisions when there are multiple vehicles and victims involved, as well as a whole host of other variables such as spilled fuel, downed hydro wires and ejected occupants. "Sometimes, the most ’courageous’ thing we do is not act immediately depending on the situation at the scene," Bolton says, frankly, especially when firefighter instinct and training is to act and save lives. Our instinct, as participants, on the other hand, is to either sit and cry (which no one actually did) or tap out "no duff" (which some did) during a simulated fire rescue. Barely able to see from the smoke (machine), heart

pounding, sweat dripping and crawling on our hands and knees in bunker gear that now feels like 200 pounds is hot, brutal and exhausting work for me and Davison. Especially dragging a hose between the two of us that feels as heavy as the fire truck it’s attached to. We can stand up and check out at any time of the controlled situation, but the experience certainly enlightens why heart attacks are the number one cause of firefighter death. Why firefighters are at a higher risk for certain types of cancer due to their exposure to toxic contaminants. And what they face when real flames and smoke, potential backdrafts and flashovers, and the safety of their victims and fellow crew members are at stake. It’s also an education as to just what three firefighters on a truck are expected and can do.

When Davison and I finally stumble upon our "victim", we have to leave him at the top of the stairs, not only because our air packs are running out, but because we’ll probably injure ourselves and the firefighters keeping watchful eye over us in the process of his "rescue," which includes dragging him in a non-too-delicate, twisted, unco-ordinated, exhausted mess. Needless to say, we all left the event with a tremendous amount of respect for the profession and with a greater knowledge of the ongoing training and dangers involved in not only fighting today’s fires compared with blazes of the past; but also the fact that there’s more to firefighting than suppression. "If you didn’t appreciate the fire department before, you certainly would if you had done what we had," said Quirk.

HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com A successful proving ground for some of Georgina’s most talented aspiring

singer/songwriters has been cancelled this year. For the first time in 14 years since its inception, there will be no Georgina Idol competition at this

year’s Sutton Fair & Horse Show after a limited number of registrants forced the cancellation of the popular competition, according to the town.

Past Idol winners have included some of Georgina’s most talented and successful youth, including 2016 winner Christina Stevenson. 2015 winner, Mac Shep-

herd, went on to be crowned King of the Hoedown Showdown in Aurora in September of 2016. Mac’s big sister and other half of the successful sibling

singing duo, Mac and Em, is also a former Idol winner. Budding songbirds may get the chance next year if registration numbers warrant Idol’s return.

Delivering adequate healthcare to its citizens is a major dilemma for governments today around the world. Although modern medicine is helping many people in the western world to live longer and more comfortable, there is still the one certainty that we all face: we all know that one day we will die. Whatever the standard of healthcare in a country, it cannot prevent death.

The first book of the Bible – Genesis – tells us how sin, disease and death came into the world. It also tells us how God provided a way of escape from the eternal grave. An offspring of Eve (namely, Jesus) would ultimately deliver a death blow to the results of sin, which is death. (Genesis 3:15) The work of Jesus is confirmed in the New Testament: “For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive”. (1 Corinthians 15:21,22) We can be assured illness and death will not continue forever. God has promised a time when “there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying” (Revelation 21:4). Let us put our trust in God and in the saviour he provided (Jesus).
