our-year-old Aurora resident Dominic Carlini said he’s ready to start kindergarten. His mom Shelagh Carlini agreed and said she is excited him to start school. But it is not without its difficulties. "You just well up when you think about your babies," she said with emotion in her voice. "I know that I’m probably going to take a thousand pictures of him getting on the bus." Dominic will be joining his older brother Gabriel, who is going into Grade 1. Their younger brother Michael doesn’t start school until next year, and Carlini said it will be different looking around the house without her two oldest sons. "You have to let go at some point," she said. "You just have to be there with open arms when they come running back to you, so excited about their day." She is not alone. Many parents often feel emotional, even anxious when their children start school. It is normal, said Janine Stutt, principal and leadership development and early years lead at York Region District School Board. "In some cases they are more nervous and anxious than the children," she added. Starting kindergarten is a big milestone. For some children it may be the first time away from their parents or caregivers. "But it’s also the end of their parents being the centre of their universe, so for a lot of moms and dads there is a nervous trepidation," said Alyson Schafer, parenting expert, therapist and author. It can be hard for parents because they are not there to help, and anxious parents might worry over the "what if" factor, Schafer said. "Your kid is one of 28 kids in the classroom, are they going to be safe, are they going to speak up, is someone going to bully them," she said. "There’s this whole other world of potential threats, and an anxious parent can dwell on the negative." There is also a change in identity.

LETTING GO How can parents prepare for the start of school LAURA FINNEY lfinney@yrmg.com "I don’t mean it in a derogatory way, we feign a tremendous sense of our own importance by being a parent," she explained. "We love being needed." As children get older they need their parents less. And once they start school, they start having relationships with other people and have other interests, she said. But Stutt said parents still play a really big role in their child’s education. "They are, as parents and families, their child’s first and most important teachers," she said. The role of the parent is to prepare their child to be a fully functioning adult said Schafer. "That means a lot of skill de-
velopment, how to be not only independent but also interdependent," she said. Parents should always be thinking of the end goal, she said, and that means doing less for them as they take on more of running their own lives. Stutt agreed, adding that kindergarten not only builds academic skills but also skills to be a life-long learner, like intellectual, creativity and problem solving. Here are some tips: Be positive Focus on the positive aspects of starting kindergarten instead of worrying about all the things that can go wrong, said Schafer. She suggested parents draw

on their own positive memories of starting school like making friends and learning new things. On drop-off day, if parents feel like crying, she suggested trying to wait until after the child has gone inside so it does not add to their child’s anxiety. Have trust Stutt said schools use staggered and supported entry. First year kindergartens start the first day in smaller groups and second year kindergartens help their classmates. Teachers also have techniques to stop the tears. "Our classroom educators are pretty skilled at redirection and distraction," she said, adding most stop crying within a few
minutes. Practise and prepare The first day of school means new routines, new bedtimes, extra lunches, and new teachers. Stutt suggested establishing routines early so there is time to adjust. She also recommended having a goodbye routine that is familiar to children and can be followed if things become emotional. Additionally, there are a number of programs in York Region designed to help families familiarize themselves with the academic, social and physical aspects of school. Be quick Schafer has a blog post The Happy Snappy Goodbye where she compares goodbyes to removing a bandage. "It sounds terrible but the truth is the longer you stay at the door trying to say goodbye and calm their tears, the longer the anticipation and fear of the eventual goodbye goes on," she said. Stay engaged There are many ways to stay connected, explained Stutt, like school or classroom social media accounts, emails and notes. Additionally, parents can find ways to learn at home like daily reading. Get active "We need to broaden and be excited about other aspects of our life," said Schafer. She said some parents take up a new hobby, class or job. For more tips visit alysonschafer.com and yrdsb.ca.

Turn to physical activities to battle stress As we inch closer to the start of the school season, we often find ourselves lost in the daily stresses of our lives. As most of us know, if we allow these stressors to go unchecked, they can quickly lead to unhealthy habits and inactive lifestyles.

LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com In the wake of a threeyear-old boy wandering away from a Keswick child care, the centre has fired one staff member, disciplined others and boosted its security measures, a supervisor said. "He managed to leave the centre unnoticed, unsupervised," said the supervisor, who did not want her name published.
"We do take responsibility; we did address the issue. We put in place more safety measures to solve the issue and we have taken appropriate disciplinary actions against the staff that were involved. "We’re doing everything that we can. I hope that people don’t think that we’re just sweeping things under the rug and we’re hiding behind curtains. We’re really trying to make sure that we re-
gain the trust of the community and the parents." The little boy walked away from the Little Red School House Daycare, on the Queensway South, and made his way home on the afternoon of Aug. 22. He was not hurt. His mother could not be reached for comment. The preschooler returned to the daycare Aug. 23 and his mother, who attended the centre

The supervisor would not say who has been fired and how many other staff have been disciplined, or their position. The daycare has been

ABOUT US
No place for complacency when faced with hate For Canadians watching the events that unfolded during a rally on the streets of Charlottesville, Va., earlier this month, that saw white nationalists, neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan members openly spouting hateful rhetoric and which escalated into violence that left antifascist protester Heather Heyer dead and 19 others injured, it can be all too tempting to sit back and assume something similar couldn’t happen here. That kind of thinking may be comforting and align well with our collective image of Canada as a welcoming and tolerant society, but it’s a false sense of security. If you’re looking for evidence that white nationalism may yet stir in our nation, you don’t have to look hard. Over the past several months residents in various municipalities across the GTA, including Richmond Hill, have had copies of Your Ward News - a publication that has rightly been labelled as racist, xenophobic, misogynist and homophobic by its critics - delivered to their homes. Other signs are not necessarily so overt. At the recent Sutton Fair, someone made the troubling choice to fly the flag of the Confederacy over a vendor tent. Keswick resident Nelson Mahmoudi took a photograph of the flag, which vanished the day after he saw it, and spoke out against the display, while noting that Civil War re-enactments and museums are about the only places where it would be acceptable to show the Confederate battle flag. He’s right. Despite attempts to turn the so-called "stars and bars" into an emblem of rural pride or to associate it with a romanticized image of country living, the fact remains it was flown by those who sought to defend to the death their "right" to continue keeping people as property. Hopefully, whoever hoisted said flag has learned something about the history of the flag and why it remains such a painful symbol. If that weren’t enough, three schools were vandalized with racist graffiti in Markham last week. In one of those incidents, playground equipment was defaced with a Star of David equalling a swastika and the letters "KKK" standing for Ku Klux Klan. Yet another message spoke of white power. And while some may shrug the graffiti off as childish shenanigans, York Regional Police are correctly treating it as a hate crime. Not taking such matters seriously can foster complacency which can only embolden those with white nationalist leanings. It’s up to all of us who strive to live in a just society to be watchful for hateful behaviour and speak out when we see it. As Aldous Huxley said: "Eternal vigilance is not only the price of liberty; eternal vigilance is the price of human decency."

Trump-like stance on many social issues. In 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada stated that the prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba was illegal. It was illegal because such a prison on U.S. soil breached their Constitution by allowing torture of prisoners and indefinite internment without trial. Canada was complicit in allowing a Canadian-born citizen to wallow in this illegal prison. In 2010, Omar Khadr pleaded guilty to murder, in exchange for release and return to a Canadian jail. He did so because of the threat of indefinite incarceration without trial. The U.S. needed a win, to find someone guilty, and Khadr was the only one left to blame.

he was eventually given a plea bargain. The Canadian government under the Conservative leader Stephen Harper awarded Maher Arar $10.5 million for allowing the U.S. to send him in a Syrian prison where he was tortured. The difference being that Arar was not a child soldier. As a career police officer and the head of a number of police forces including York Region Police, Toronto Police and the OPP, Fantino should be a strong supporter of the rule of law. Yet when it comes to the Khadr case, he chooses to ignore the law and go with what he thinks is the law. Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as well as international treaties on the treatment of child soldiers and torture are the laws we must all

This Town of Georgina municipal ward boundaries map shows a five-ward option.
Ward review results in minor ward changes HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com Residents have until Sept. 4 to register their comments on proposed ward boundary changes that would take effect for the next municipal election in 2018. Consultants Watsons & Associates conducted a 17month review and recommended redrawing Georgina’s political map to address "significant inequalities in ward-to-ward populations, which is expected to be exacerbated through the ongoing development planned in Keswick." Two options were presented to council in February that included either carving up the municipality’s five wards in entirely new configurations or adding a sixth ward. Currently, Ward 1 has a population of 15,950; Ward 2 has 11,210; Ward 3 has 8,160, Ward 4 has 10,685;
and Ward 5 has 7,660. Based on a population and housing forecast for the 2016 to 2022 period generated by consultants that would cover the next two municipal elections, more than half (54 per cent) of Georgina’s population would reside in Keswick. In addition, the majority of an expected sevenper-cent increase forecasted by 2022 would be concentrated primarily in the southern portion of Keswick (specifically in Ward 1) with some growth in Sutton (Ward 4). Redrawing the boundaries or adding a sixth ward in Keswick would create "more fair" representation, according to the consultants. Council, however, voted in favour of a third option presented in a staff report Aug. 9. A key factor in that decision was the fact that the third option retained the lakefront, rural and urban
components that exist in each of the five current wards, despite the fact it was the opinion of consultants that "balance" has "disappeared". If approved, slight boundary changes would be made in wards 1, 2 and 3, with no changes to wards 4 and 5. Wards 1 and 2 would be reduced in geographic size, with an increase in size for Ward 3. The changes result in Wards 2, 3 and 4 all containing approximately the same number of residents (10,000); Ward 1’s population slightly reduced (14,433) and Ward 5 remaining the same (7,660). The last time the town conducted a review was in 1996, which resulted in a reduction from seven to five wards for the 1997 election. Contact the clerk’s office for more information or to register a comment on or before Sept. 4.

Care to dance? How to choose the style that’s right for you Quickstep, samba, hip-hop, jazz ballet, tap dancing, square dancing, flamenco, swing, belly dancing, capoeira, the Charleston — the list goes on! Interested in taking up dance? Faced with so many different possibilities, choosing the style that’s right for you can prove daunting. So, here’s what to consider! Pinpoint your interests Start by considering your preference in music: Latin or Indian? Urban or classical? Swing or jazz? Think about what inspires you. Whether your wish is to move like Beyoncé; to acquire agility of Irish Riverdancers; to emulate Broadway artists; or to develop the grace of legendary ballerina Anna Pavlova, there’s a style of dance that’s right for you. To further narrow down your selection, consider whether you want to dance solo, in pairs or as part of a group. Define your objectives Are you looking to have fun? Expend some energy? Develop a particular skill? Consider
what it is you want to achieve. For example, if you wish to move with elegance, classical ballet and the waltz are excellent choices. If you want to experience raw passion, consider the pasodoble. And if you’re looking to connect with your emotions, contemporary and lyric jazz are your best bets. Get informed Carefully read the description of every class offered at your local dance studio to determine which could correspond to your interests and objectives. If necessary, watch videos of various dance styles that could work for you before making any serious commitments. Sign up for a free trial Still undecided? The majority of dance studios offer free trials to allow you to get a taste for the rhythms first-hand. Don’t hesitate to try multiple classes before signing up to ensure you make the right choice — it’s necessary if you wish to have fun and stay motivated!

Back to School Safety With students headed back to school, let’s be extra cautious on the roads. Motorists should obey speed limits, be alert and slow down for pedestrians and cyclists. Speeding or passing school buses may result in costly fines, and higher penalties in community safety zones. Cyclists should use bicycle lights and pedestrians should wear bright-coloured clothing when walking, jogging or playing to be visible. Be safe and look all ways before crossing. Best wishes for a safe return.
By-Law Leisure Vehicle Storage on Residential Lots Living in Georgina means we really have the best of all worlds when it comes to enjoying the water, open spaces and leisure activities. So when it comes to storing your leisure vehicle (boats, RV’s, trailers etc.) residents are reminded of a new zoning by-law that sets out the requirements for leisure vehicle storage on residential properties on either a temporary, seasonal or permanent basis. Compliance with the by-law helps to ensure the safety of our residents when it comes to visibility and the overall aesthetics of our community. A guide has been prepared to assist residents in understanding if and how these new provisions apply to their properties. You can pick up a hard copy at one of Georgina’s three libraries, the Civic Centre or view online at georgina.ca

Public Notices Notice of Study Completion Georgina Comprehensive Stormwater Management Master Plan The Town of Georgina, through their consultant Aquafor Beech Limited, has completed the Environmental Assessment for the Georgina Comprehensive Stormwater Management Master Plan. The study was completed to better understand the level of stormwater management service currently provided across the study area (the Town of Georgina), to identify future improvements needed to sustainably develop and manage stormwater infrastructure, and to identify opportunities to reduce the loading of pollutants to Lake Simcoe. The study was completed in accordance with Environmental Assessment Master Plan Approach 1. The recommended approach developed through the EA process includes stormwater management facility retrofits, stormwater retrofits of road right-of-ways, source controls to manage runoff on residential properties, the development of end-of-pipe facilities on public lands and improved stormwater facility maintenance. An Environmental Study Report (ESR) for the project has been placed in the public record for a 30-day review period starting August 17, 2017. The ESR is available for review at the Keswick Public Library located at 90 Wexford Drive, the Peter Gzowski (Sutton) Public Library located at 5279 Black River Road, the Pefferlaw Public Library located at 76 Pete’s Lane, and at the Town of Georgina Civic Centre located at 26557 Civic Centre Road. More information on the project can be found at https://www.georgina.ca/cswmmp.

18 restaurants charged 5 or more times in 2 years l Continued from page 1
over (about three years ago), the restaurant wasn’t in the best condition. So, we tried our best to clean but it didn’t (initially) work out," Suy said. "We’re trying hard. (When we bought the restaurant), most of the equipment was over 15 years old. The fridge sometimes didn’t work; we had to get a new fridge, we got new freezers. When you just open the doors, you’re spending over $150,000 just to buy the business, and then we have to spend thousands more to buy new equipment." Pho Saigon has hired new staff, and he, his mom and her boyfriend have now gotten their food handler’s certificates, Suy said. "I think we’re really doing better," he said. "Our food is authentic and we make it with love." At other restaurants charged five or more times,
some infractions appeared to be relatively minor, while others were more noteworthy. Those included an ice cream scoop in a container of mould, a pig carcass stored adjacent to a dirty shelving unit, ducks hanging in an area with a visible buildup of dirt, dust and grime, no toilet paper or soap in a staff washroom, a cook manually killing a fly, rinsing off his hand and resuming food preparation, and "a few dead cockroaches" on a glue stick under a sink. While Suy was forthcoming about challenges his restaurant has overcome, a sampling of other restaurants indicated eatery owners and managers do not have an appetite to discuss their health reports. But residents going out for a bite don’t have to rely on the whims of eateries to disclose charges against them.
Instead, they can find information about restaurants inspected by public health through the region’s York Safe program at york.ca/yorksafe, with weekly charges reported at York Region Media Group’s yorkregion.com. "What we look for (during inspections) is everything, really. Everything from sanitation to crosscontamination to infestation to food handling to training to the structure to cleanliness. The variables are endless. Everything from dishwashing to handwashing to cross-contamination with the cutting boards, to do we have infestation of either insects or rodents in the premises, are we missing a screen door, is a cooler not cold enough, are temperatures not right, is it missing a thermometer?" said Vito Chiefari, manager of the health protection division. "We capture what needs to be fixed. In some cases,
that equates to a charge, especially if it’s a repeat offence. In some cases, what we see is significant enough that it warrants a closure." The region has a total of 39 inspectors, who carry out more than 11,000 annual inspections at 1,100 highrisk, 3,000 medium-risk and 1,500 low-risk premises, which are classified based on the type of food they provide and clientele they serve. While the vast majority of premises pass their inspections, last year, inspectors laid about 300 charges and shut down 26 locations until health hazards were addressed. A restaurant ordered closed must remain shut until it complies with rules under the Ontario Health Protection Promotion Act. An eatery with chronic problems can’t be closed permanently as long as it makes the necessary improvements, Chiefari said. A restaurant with ongo-
ing problems could be inspected more often than the minimum of three times a year for high-risk, twice for medium-risk and once for low-risk, and also provided with more education, Chiefari said. A change in ownership or location does not allow the operator to sidestep the number of inspections they would normally face, he added. Inspectors routinely respond to public complaints about food premises, Chiefari said. He had some advice for people going out to eat. Make sure the establishment is displaying its green pass card from its last inspection and maintains a clean premises, observe whether the staff appears knowledgeable, ensure food arrives hot to your table, and check that plates and utensils are clean. So, is eating out in York Region a safe thing to do? "I do it all the time," Chiefari said.
Multiple Offenders: In addition to Pho Saigon, other restaurants charged five or more times between January 2015 and April 2017 by York Region health inspectors were: Aurora Chinese Restaurant in Aurora Centra Food Market in Aurora City Hollywood Café in Markham Congee Queen in Markham East Moon Chinese Restaurant in Vaughan Ginza Sushi Restaurant in Vaughan Golden Maki in Newmarket, Grand Fortune Food Mart in Markham Ho Garden Chinese Restaurant in Markham Hockey Sushi in Markham India Time in Newmarket Maple Dragon Chinese Restaurant in Vaughan Ruby Thai Kitchen in Newmarket St. Louis Bar and Grill on Hollandview Trail in Aurora Sunrise Seniors Living of Aurora in Aurora Wild Wing on Eagle Street in Newmarket Yung Kee BBQ Restaurant in Markham
Working in Hospice is good for the Soul
yorkregion.com
My first hospice experience came in 1990, when I was the Support Coordinator for the AIDS Committee of Thunder Bay. A middle aged transgender woman called me from her hospice bed, and asked me to come and see her, that I needed to come right away, she had limited time. When I entered the room, she was elegant with her make-up showing her soft features, and her wig done just so. She talked about her life and career and asked if I would help her write her obituary. She gave instructions on how she wanted to be dressed and make-up and hair for her funeral. I took careful notes and read them back to her to be sure I had it right. She mentioned that she felt peaceful and a sense of relief. She asked me to speak with her family, who were struggling--which I did later in the afternoon. They agreed to honour her wishes and took the notes from me. A day later Alexandra died peacefully in her hospice room with family around her. I realized from that moment I was in the right place. In my early twenties, I worked on a cancer ward as a Registered Nurses Assistant. I would listen to patient’s stories, while I bathed them and helped them start the day with a fresh gown and clean sheets. My mother instilled the practice of charity in her children. From a young age, I was involved in raising funds for the Red Cross. Our family would do a Sunday afternoon variety show, with children in the neighbourhood performing skits, singing and dancing. My mother would sew our costumes and was the stage manager. Rows of folding chairs were set up on the front lawn and neighbours would come to donate a nickel, dime or whatever they could afford. After the show, our small group of kids aged 5-11 years, would go to the Red Cross office and drop our jam jar of coins. I have always felt a peace and comfort working in and around grief. I was mentored by Yvette Perreault, renown for her grief
work and writings. In January of 2005, I was recruited to develop the bereavement program for Bayview Community Hospice, (later Alliance Hospice), now merged with Better Living, to provide support for individual and families dealing with advanced illness and end of life. After two years I moved into Case Management. After a multitude of conversations at bedsides, wiping many sweated brows, holding a kidney pan for a nauseous patient or simply quietly listening to a family’s worries and concerns, the most important thing I have
learned is presence. Listen to what is being asked, honour the person, and above all, be reliable. As I head toward retirement, I carry with me all the faces, the lighted candles and the stories of those who invited me to sit with them for a while. Sheila Berry

ROMANCATHOLIC CHURCH Immaculate Conception 20916 Dalton Road, Sutton
For centuries, nearly all religious leaders have taught the idea that man has an immortal soul – a part of him that survives the death of the body and lives on. Historians record that the Egyptians were the first to assert this idea, followed by the Babylonians and Greeks. Surprisingly, the phrase “immortal soul” cannot be found anywhere in the Bible, and yet most Christian Churches teach this idea also.

Pastors Doug & Jeannie Neufeld
Simply put, the Bible says that the dead are in the grave, asleep, awaiting the resurrection, as Jesus told his followers in John 6: 39,40, 44. In the Old Testament Scriptures, which Jesus taught and quoted from, we read of the prophet Daniel’s teachings on this in Chapter 12:2 “Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt”.
Cedardale Church Of The Nazarene 471 Pefferlaw Rd., Pefferlaw
It is by the means of the resurrection God will do away with death forever. Jesus was the “firstfruits” of all who sleep in the grave. “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterwards they that are Christ’s at his coming”. (1Corinthians 15: 22,23)

A careful and thoughtful reading of the Bible will show you that the expression: “Immortal Soul” cannot be found in it’s pages. Rather, the gift of God is eternal life given at the return of Jesus and at the resurrection from the dead of all those who have died in Christ. In conclusion, the Bible teaches nothing about “an immortal soul”. It is God’s grand purpose that his creation of mankind was for them to live forever here on this earth.
