York Region’s charitable organizations aren’t being stuck up when they refuse the donation of certain items. Each organization that accepts donations, from Vaughan to Georgina, have policies surrounding acceptable items. While donors might feel slighted by these organizations refusing donations of certain things, there are reasons behind the rules. "Some people donate items because they love them and want that item to be continued to be loved," Rose of Sharon’s development director Rachel Agnoluzzi said. The organization that supports young mothers across the region primarily relies on monetary donations to improve lives going forward, however, it does l See THERE, page 14

SOCIALIZE Connect with your school on social media - Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat. And, if you find an online student group, join it. You’ll find information about upcoming events and resources. Also, seek out student clubs and societies, events, intramural sports, and other groups to be a part of.
3
GET TO KNOW THE PLACE Tour the campus to get familiar with the various facilities, services, and resources available. Also, visit the area outside campus so you know what else is close by. Many schools offer workshops, orientation, and information sessions to help first-year students get comfortable.
4
SEEK HELP EARLY If you’re struggling with your studies or run into a cash flow problem and can’t pay for tuition, books, food, or rent, seek help right away. Most postsecondary institutions offer academic counselling and support for needing financial aid.
5
CREATE A BUDGET Post-secondary school can come with myriad costs - tuition, textbooks, food, rent, plus social activities. Make a budget and try to stick to it. If you find yourself cash-strapped, consider getting a job on campus or explore bursaries, grants, and scholarships that may be available.

COMMUNITY isa Chong was nervous about letting her son stay home alone for an hour or two after
school. The Newmarket mom, like any working parent, wrestled with the thought of leaving her son, now 12, home alone for short periods of time when he was 10 but also didn’t want to leave him in an after-school care program designed for younger children. Before she did, her son attended a home-alone course offered by St. John Ambulance. "I was very nervous, but after testing the waters and watching him use the techniques that he learned at the course, I felt a little better," she said. "Each time he’s alone, he becomes more confident, as do I." It was at the end of Grade 5 he was walking home from the bus stop, letting himself into the house, checking in with mom when he arrived and doing chores and homework. The routine has helped both mom and son feel comfortable with his independence. According to the Ontario Child and Family Services Act, any child under the age of 10 years left unattended can be at risk and, depending on the situation, police can lay charges, York Regional Police Const. Laura Nicole said. "There isn’t a firm one-sizefits-all," she added. "Parents need to know their child and the area, then make a decision based on all the circumstances." The length of the walk, possible risks such as heavy traffic, railway crossings and how long children will be left alone should all be considered when making a decision. While every child matures at a different rate, it is most important to note a 7-year-old doesn’t have the same mental ability as a 9- or 10-year old, Seneca King Campus behavioural sciences professor Laura Cavanagh said. "At 7, kids can know a rule but don’t have the ability to apply it to a concrete situation in real life," she explained. "So they know the rule is not to talk

IS TIME RIGHT? St. John Ambulance offers five crucial points when deciding to leave a child home alone: 1. Your child can recite their name, address and phone number in case of emergency. 2. They know how, when and what to say when they call 9-1-1. 3. Have access to a neighbour’s phone number and can call and ask for help if needed. 4. Understand enough about time to know when you will be home. 5. They know what to say and do if someone calls or knocks on the door. For more tips, visit sja.ca.

When is a child ready to walk to school or return from school to an empty house? Experts say a number of factors should be considered while making the decision.
ON THEIR OWN Parents wrestle with deciding when their children are ready to walk to school or stay home alone TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com to strangers, but if someone asked for help finding their puppy, the child would most likely help where as an older child would associate the situation with the stranger-danger rule." When assessing a child for readiness, ask questions and pay attention to their behaviour when you are around, which is
indicative of the behaviour they will practise when alone. For example, if you tell your child not to answer the phone while you are in the shower and they do it anyway, they may be tempted to open the door when home alone even though they have been told not to. Parenting expert Alyson Schafer suggests running trials

Choice
neighbourhoods," Schaffer added. "Children from the same school walk together, and older students look out for the younger ones." As for leaving a child at home, ensure all emergency procedures are properly understood. Quiz your child on different scenarios to see how they respond, and set house rules you both agree on - for example, calling one parent when arriving home. Some parents have their children use video chat when cooking on their own. Try leaving them alone for a short period of time as a trial run to see what happens. Walking to school without a parent or guardian and being home alone are big milestones for children, Cavanagh said. Aside from the physical health benefits of walking to school rather than sitting in a car, being given the opportunity to prove to a parent they are responsible can boost their independence and confidence. Most children are eager to demonstrate their ability to take on responsibility at this age, and if the rules are clear and they are motivated, they will be more likely to comply. "These tasks can be very rewarding for children and helps prepare them for the transition into adulthood when more responsibilities come their way," she added. "These independent tasks are well worth the consideration."

Gorman has seen a lot of change in the past 20 years and some firsts, including a wedding at the GEM and a screening party of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, which "was a blast", but Gorman says it’s the many friendships he has forged in the past two decades of which he is most proud. That includes the many families, teenagers, old friends from his days as a youth growing up at a cottage in the 1960s, as well as their kids and grandkids.

MSR-Lalu owner Sunny Matharoo (left) goes over possible scenarios for the various land parcels being considered under the six-month Jackson’s Point harbour redevelopment process with Georgina resident Daryl Urquhart during an open house hosted by The Planning Partnership presenting the consultant’s preferred plan at The Ramada Jackson’s Point Aug. 30.
The preferred plan for redevelopment of the Jackson’s Point harbour floated by consultants after a fourmonth, $101,000 process went over like a lead anchor with most of the public gathered at an open house at the Ramada Aug. 30. The plan will be tabled at council Sept. 19, but a recommended land swap between the town and MSR-Lalu that exchanges portions of parkland for channel and waterfront area didn’t sit well with a group of area residents. They started a petition to save Bonnie Park as well as made numerous presentations to council during the past four months taking the town to task over both its process and for using the town park as a bargaining chip with developers. "I can’t say that I’m surprised, but I’m disappointed nonetheless," said Paul Brady, whose worst fears were realized with the potential land swap. Since the town-owned land in Bonnie Park is more valuable than MSRLalu land because of its greater suitability for development, a land exchange at minimal cost could be negotiated that

jungle into prime parkland would be substantial." Phillips added that, with so many variables and unknowns identified by consultants, council is basically being asked to approve a conglomeration of unknowns - not a plan - on Sept. 19. "It is ludicrous to proceed any further without clarity around these items so that there is understanding of the likelihood of any implementation of the plan." The absence of any boat launch in the plan won’t likely float with those interested in promoting boating, either for recreation or tourism purposes.

"The question for us is if this is the chosen path, how do we play a role in it," he added. Highly critical of a town process he called a "done deal" from the start, Wayne Phillips says the preferred option doesn’t make economic sense, especially considering the condition of the channel wall and significant environmental remediation required for the former marina site.

would include potential revenue from MSR as well as enhance public waterfront access, said consultants. Shore wall improvements, soil remediation, servicing upgrades, cost sharing and terms for York Regional Police’s marine unit headquarters were some of the items to be considered for discussions with MSR-Lalu as part of the land swap. As a developer, MSR-Lalu owner Sunny Matharoo said he would like to be involved in rejuvenating the area, but if the town didn’t want to work with him, his company would find another solution. That means either selling the small strip of channel property left over from the property acquired by the region for York Region-

ABOUT US
Motorists must focus on stopping distracted driving It shouldn’t have to be re-stated at this point and yet here it is: distracted driving is dangerous and unacceptable. How dangerous? Well, according to the Ontario Provincial Police, distracted driving is responsible for more collisions on the roads it patrols than speeding and impaired-related crashes combined. Numbers don’t lie and the OPP’s statistics are troubling to be sure. Its figures say that driver distraction has been the cause of 6,360 collisions on the roads it patrols since Jan. 1, while speeding and driver impairment were responsible for 4,700 and 1,158 crashes, respectively. Forty-seven people have died so far this year as a result of a distracted driver, up from 39 at this time last year, the OPP says. What’s more, distracted driving has claimed more lives on OPP-patrolled roads than speeding and impaired for the past eight years except for 2012. "Our collision data is compelling evidence that drivers who text, talk on their cellphone or are distracted in some other way, take a tremendous toll on the safety of those who share the road with them," OPP commissioner Vince Hawkes said in a statement. "Public complacency about inattentive driving can be just as dangerous as the behaviour itself. Until drivers, passengers and the general public take a firm stand against this road safety issue, these tragedies are expected to continue in large numbers on our roads.’’ Distracted driving remains an issue on the roadways patrolled by area police as well. Just last week, York Regional Police issued a news release noting that 25 motorists had been charged with impaired, while 82 others had been cited for distracted driving. The release isn’t unique as YRP charges scores of people with distracted driving every week. The penalties for being caught driving while distracted are steep, with fines ranging from $490 to $1,000 and three demerit points, and yet still not enough to discourage people from doing so. Of course, beyond a fine or a trip to a courthouse, a distracted driver could also have to live with severely injuring or killing someone. This week marks the start of a new school year and that means more children out and about on our streets. As such, we should all ensure we devote our attention solely to the task of driving whenever we’re behind the wheel. One injury or death resulting from distracted driving is too many. Let’s focus on reversing this trend.

Homes with almost no heating costs coming? Don’t miss the Georgina council meeting on Sept. 13 Maybe the town will build some houses (on the Catering Road just south of the high school) that will have almost no heating costs. In 1989, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation published a report, Passive Solar House Designs for Canada - Tap the Sun. Experts had discovered an amazing fact: while everybody knows that the sun coming in through a window often makes one room much warmer than the rest, it was now possible for houses built anywhere in Canada to get 50 per cent of the heat needed to keep a whole house warm all year - from the
• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • l MORE ONLINE Read all our published letters at yorkregion.com sun coming in through the windows! Comparing temperatures and sunshine over many years for cities across Canada, this book showed how the houses should be sited to allow most of the house windows to get full sun. In particular, the streets running east-west must be much longer than the north-south streets. This gives sun to all houses either to the front, or back, of the house. Most builders, however, found that running streets east-west made it difficult to get as many houses per acre, as they wanted, so this major requirement is usually abandoned. (This is called "a more efficient use of land.")

Lately, companies reported building net-zero houses - houses that produce all of their own heating and cooling. Then in March, Landmark Homes announced its latest net zero house in Edmonton. This home will have a starting price close to $400,000, which includes the lot, home, garage, netzero upgrades and GST. This price is very much in line with February’s median selling price of $391,000 for a single family home in Edmonton! Considering climate change, I believe that Georgina’s current plan for building these 185 houses is way out of date. William Shore, Sutton
Be mindful of meanings behind symbols Re: Display of Confederate flag at Sutton Fair sparks criticism, Aug. 23. I am totally in agreement with the sentiments expressed by Nelson Mahmoudi in the front page story of Thursday, Aug. 24, of the Georgina Advocate. The Confederate flag has no place being displayed anywhere in Georgina or elsewhere in Canada(except in a museum or CivilWar re-enactment), as he stated. With everything which is happening south of the border, we should be especially vigilant about symbols such as this and what they stand for. Shirley Gunckel, Georgina

Home & Garden The popularity of the colour white White is a versatile colour in home decorating and renovation. White helps any space look effortlessly chic, blends well with just about any colour and can be incorporated into various design styles — from modern to traditional. While the colour white is always trendy, the paint manufacturers Benjamin Moore chose white (Simply White OC-117) as their “it” colour for 2016. White can be used nearly anywhere inside and outside the home. Improving interior and exterior spaces with white elements is easier than you might think, and it instantly can make anything look as good as new.
KITCHEN While rich cherrywood cabinets and deeply hued granite countertops have long been popular in kitchens, creamy white cabinets paired with blonde wood countertops can work together to make kitchens seem open and airy. If all white is not your thing, brighten up kitchen spaces with white canisters, cookie jars and a fresh bouquet of white flowers to add instant appeal.
LIVING ROOM Use white as a base colour for living room spaces so you can build on it with other hues on pillows and draperies, mixing and matching however you see fit. Homeowners who have children and/or pets should look for furniture with removable slipcovers. This way they’re easily removed and laundered.
BATHROOM White bathrooms look fresh and are easy to clean and maintain. White tiles provide a classic look. Include coloured bath mats, towels and shower curtains to break up the white as you see fit. A neutral white base makes it easy to switch out colour schemes whenever you feel like it.
BEDROOM Feminine and fresh, white bedrooms may not be the first choice for novice designers. If the prospect of white on white seems too sterile, offset deeper hues on bed linens and walls with white furniture. This provides some pop against the darker
contrast. Keep in mind that doing a bed up in all white means it will always be easy to find matching sheets and pillowcases, making it possible to ensure everything looks cohesive and crisp.
OUTDOORS Use white paint on trims, shutters, mailboxes, and more to provide that pop of contrast against the rest of the home. White complements just about every colour, making it a versatile choice on a home’s accents regardless of the main exterior colour of that home. White and other light shades will reflect the sun as well, contributing to cooler temperatures on walkways, decks and other structures, which can be advantageous to homeowners who live in warm climates. Is it any wonder that white continues to be a classic and popular colour to use around the home? Whether you do so with monochromatic roomscapes or accent pieces, you can incorporate white into design plans throughout your home.

COMMUNITY
Heidi Riedner/Metroland
Mary McIlwaine, CIBC employees Amanda Ruccia and Christie Gray, as well as Mike Young do their part to help raise $550 from the sale of burgers, hot dogs and pink ribbon items for the annual CIBC Run for the Cure in Pefferlaw.
CIBC cooks up Run for Cure support HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com Some special transactions at your local bank helped raise $550 that will go toward the CIBC’s Run for the Cure effort. It was rather fitting that bank employees Amanda Ruccia and Christie Gray were out flipping burgers
and hot dogs at the Pefferlaw branch’s annual barbecue Sept. 1 since both have also cut their hair to help raise money for cancer research and programs. But it truly is a community effort to help out a good cause, especially with neighbouring Dar’s Place donating the eats and the
Pefferlaw firefighters donating funds to help with some of the costs. Barbecues and community drives at local CIBC branches in Georgina have contributed to the more than $360 million raised to date through the corporate CIBC Run for the Cure initiative to fund breast cancer research projects.

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 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

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month
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.

There are reasons behind refusals of donations While these textiles can’t be resold in the store, funds are generated by selling them to cloth graders who turn them into rags, sell to buyers who make upholstery stuffing and carpet padding. Every effort is made to recycle non-sellable items with eco-friendly suppliers. Most of the time electronics need to be in working order to be donated.
l Continued from page 1
have Roseys Closet for gently used donations. Often people try to donate car seats, cribs and more with the best of intentions but with those items come liability because the safety standards of such items change so often, according to Agnoluzzi. Those who wish to donate items should check online or call the organization before doing so because any items left on the front stoop cost money and resources to dispose of. Salvation Army Thrift Stores accept donations daily through the Donor Welcome Centres. Donations are reviewed on site and while some get a second chance in the store, some do not, according to a Salvation Army spokesperson. Items the stores cannot accept include used mattresses, box springs, carpets, hazardous materials
Other charities shy away from accepting large furniture due to the risks associated with volunteers or employees moving the heavy items and they are difficult for people to fit into their vehicles. Items that cannot be resold, reused or recycled cost the charity funds to dispose of, which defeats the purpose of collecting donations.
Advice for those looking to donate
Mike Barrett/Metroland
Salvation Army Thrift Store employee Carlos Silvera (left) and store manager Matthew Brown are usually kept busy with donations regularly arriving at the Newmarket store. Thrift shops across York Region aren’t snubbing donations when they refuse certain items. Certain policies and logistics make it impossible for some organizations to accept certain items due to health regulations and safety concerns. like paint, propane tanks, barbecues, infant gear like car seats, cribs and strollers, tires and auto parts due to health and safety regulations. Many children’s items such as car seats,
have an expiry date and sometimes cribs and strollers are subject to recalls due to safety concerns. Used mattresses are a breeding ground for mould, bacteria and unwanted
guests such as bedbugs and dust mites, all of which can lead to a variety of health issues. The stores also receive clothing that is torn, stained and overly worn often.
Sort through donations carefully and if you are unsure if an item is acceptable, contact the charity you are looking to donate it to. Don’t head to the landfill immediately after an item is refused for donation as there are plenty of options when it comes to recycling or donating: • The Ontario SPCA accept donations of blankets, towels and unwearable textiles. • York Region municipalities are partnering with organizations like Diabetes Canada to operate a textile recycling program. • York Region waste depots accept electronics to recycle. • JRCC Furniture Depot in Vaughan collects housewares, indoor furniture, medical/home-care supplies and equipment. • Visit York.ca for a handy list of organizations you can donate to, location and what items they accept. • Try using resale apps to find a home for the item, you never know what people are looking for. • Dispose of hazardous materials in the proper manner at one of the many depots across York Region.
Mom’s Bright Light Still Shines I was seven when my mother was first diagnosed with cancer, and eleven when it came back. Gran encouraged my mom to attend programs at Doane House Hospice. Mom went reluctantly at first, but soon saw the benefits of being with others who understood her journey. Knowing that I would have to deal with anticipatory grief, my parents suggested art therapy. I started 1:1 weekly sessions with Jennifer, the art therapist. My family also accessed programs and services as they coped with Mom’s declining health. I didn’t understand what was happening. The idea of chemotherapy scared me. We made a plan for me to go with my mom. Jennifer recommended that I draw what I thought chemotherapy would look like; I drew a dark, scary picture. After the appointment, Jennifer asked me to draw what it actually looked like; it was definitely less scary than what I had anticipated.
time, it was hard to think about Mom’s mortality. It helped me to make plans. I was thirteen when Mom passed away. I stood up at my mom’s funeral to give the eulogy. She was a strong woman and I knew I could stay strong too. After Mom’s death, I continued to receive bereavement support from DHH; I went to groups with other girls who had lost a family member. It was important for me to be with people who “got it.” Today, I believe this experience has influenced my life. In my work, I help children going through bad situations, or who have lost a parent like I have. People were there for me, so I want to be there for others. It’s been eight years since I last visited Doane House Hospice. It feels the same: safe and welcoming.
yorkregion.com
DHH was always a safe space where I could fully express myself. I could share anything and be understood and supported. It was okay to break down and cry, because they knew how to console me. Mom’s bright light was definitely her unwavering strength. She didn’t let me see the bad... she stayed bright and happy. She involved me by asking my opinion about what she would wear. “Should I wear the bandana with happy faces today?” My mom loved bright colours. I remember drawing a card with bright flowers for DHH, dedicated to her memory. As Mom’s condition progressed, Jennifer was honest. She didn’t give me false hope. Acting on my family’s wishes, she helped me prepare. At that

Also this month, council will be reviewing a preliminary report on Keswick Business Park opportunities, the semi annual report on the chamber of commerce service agreement and an update from York regional police on 3 District staffing deployment. Public engagement on the Jackson’s Point Harbourfront Redevelopment Plan has continued

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.

WRIGHT, Maureen (Moe) Maureen Mary O’Donnell Wright born June 30, 1947 Paisley Scotland, lost her 4 year courageous battle with a respiratory illness on Sunday, August 20, 2017 at Southlake Regional Health Centre. With daughter Jenny, supported by son-in-law Jason Callaghan, son Jason, supported by daughter-in-law Kathleen Crawford, and husband John by her side, Moe passed away peacefully listening to the music of her long time idle Rod Stewart. Moe emigrated from Paisley Scotland, at the age of 10 with her family. She made many friends during her 15 year employment at Southlake Regional Health Centre. She had a passion for gardening, crafts, bargain shopping and of course chocolate. Moe loved and cherished her sister Georgina “Ginaâ€? of Paisley Scotland, and her family. She was a devoted grandmother to her 8 grandchildren, Nick, Joshua, Paige, Cole, Willow, Maggie May, Ember and Lucas. She will be sadly missed by her husband John of 34 years, and the many friends and relatives in Ontario, Alberta, Scotland and the Cayman Islands. Thank you to all the amazing doctors and nurses in the Intensive Care Unit who went over and above during this difďŹ cult time and also a huge thank you to Dr. Chan of Newmarket who supported Moe over the many years. A Celebration of life will be held at a later time.
WHITMORE, George Samuel We are saddened by the passing of George Samuel Whitmore, born November 2nd, 1929 in North York, Ontario. He passed quietly in his sleep at Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket on Sunday September 3rd, 2017 at 9:30 p.m., at the age of 87 years. He leaves behind his wife Audrey Whitmore (nee Jubb); children George (Sharron), and Cynthia (Keith McCall), grandchildren Sarah (Matt Dredge), Anna (Chris Marshall), Kate and Erica McCall; greatgrandchildren Clint and Mackenzie McCall, Braedon Coles, and Simeon and Andrew Dredge. Brother of the late Gerald, Elsie Stevens and Ada Waud. Survived by several nieces, nephews and relatives. Special thanks to nurses and staff at Riverglen Heaven Nursing Home for their wonderful care and support. The family will receive friends at the M.W. BECKER FUNERAL HOME 490 The Queensway South, Keswick, Ontario on Friday, September 8th, 2017 from 12 noon to 1 p.m., followed by a Funeral Service in the Chapel at 1 p.m. Interment will take place at the Keswick Cemetery.
