HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com More than 1,600 people have signed a petition describing "dangerous" roads in Georgina as "death traps". "All too many times we have the unfortunate distinction of being host to catastrophic collisions," said Keswick resident Lee Dale, who started the petition on change.org. The petition is called Residents for safe travel and living on Ravenshoe Road. The most recent accident involved a seven-vehicle collision on Ravenshoe Road Sept. 19 that claimed the lives of an elderly couple from Aurora, as well as sent numerous people to hospital with serious injuries. "We all have been touched in some way by the devastating impacts of these accidents and unsafe conditions on some of these roads," Dale said, referring to not only Ravenshoe Road, but also Woodbine Avenue and l See CONCERNS, page 10

Teachers report being kicked, grabbed by the throat, stabbed with scissors, restrained — by students "This is happening with relatively young children and most don’t perceive a five- or six-year-old much of a threat. But once you’ve seen a classroom a student has ripped apart you think differently." - York Region Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario president David Clegg to explain so students aren’t fearful of returning to class. "Sometimes, the day after, I call in sick because I just can’t face my students," she said. "It has become much more than teaching, we also have to be mental health supports, which isn’t fair to us or the students because we aren’t experts." She also points out that teachers like herself who have specialized training to deal with escalating students are pulled from their own classrooms to

The federation is beginning to further research the impacts these incidents have on the other children in the classroom, Clegg said. Witnessing these acts or being evacuated from their classroom due to an out of control student must have an impact on their learning. "Integration of identified

children into mainstream classrooms has many positives but at what point do the negatives outweigh the positives," he said. "We have to be able to weigh the right of a child to be educated against the collective rights of others to learn in a safe environment." York Region isn’t alone as Peel is reporting increased incidents as well and Durham teachers are calling for more protective gear to use in the mainstream classrooms, not just

the special education and behavioural classrooms. While many are calling for more resources and protective gear, Clegg isn’t convinced it’s the solution. "There is this big elephant in the room and it’s difficult to talk about," he said. "No one is asking why this is happening. There has to be a systemic, underlying cause." The local is planning to host a symposium in February 2018 with representatives from across the region to discuss just that. Additional resources are provided to teachers in specialized classrooms where students have been identified as special needs or having behavioural challenges, student services superintendent Kate Diakiw said. The majority of these incidents happen in specialized classrooms. Teachers in mainstream or ’typical’ classrooms have very little training in dealing with violence and aggression, however, those in special education or behavioural classrooms have received crisis prevention training including understanding behaviour, student escalation signs, responding to defensive behaviour, appropriate response to a student acting out and how to perform control positions. "Physically intervening is the absolute last resort," she said. "We never want to put a hand on a child and will only do so if they are going to hurt themselves or others." Identified students have plans that spell out what actions should be taken to deal with that child’s behaviour, who will respond if needed and what to do should specific situations arise. "In many plans it is written to call the police but we rarely get to that point," she said. It is mainly these trained teachers who are using the protective gear. Specialized supports are brought in following an incident to re-evaluate plans and support teachers. She admits the system isn’t perfect but says the board is doing well with what it has, adding it is always monitoring violent incidents and analyzing any increase.

ne local teacher still has nightmares two years after a violent incident in her special needs classroom. The teacher, who we’ve agreed not to identify, won’t soon forget the day a student uttered death threats and then threw a piece of furniture at her head. She has been spit at, kicked, bitten, verbally abused and her life has been threatened on more than one occasion. She has also been required to wear spit shields, bite guards and even Kevlar in the classroom. "The first thing my husband asks me when I get home every day is ’Are you OK?’" she said. "Try going home and explaining bruises to your family when you are a teacher. They expect me to come home every day in one piece." In 2013, 194 incidents of violence were reported by York Region elementary teachers; in the last school year there were 536, York Region Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario president David Clegg said. Teachers are reporting trashed classrooms and broken windows; being grabbed by the throat, physically restrained and stabbed with scissors. "It’s the No. 1 topic and it’s a troubling issue that isn’t well understood," he added. "The public immediately jumps to student versus student or bullying when discussed." The teachers’ federation has been holding focus groups and polling to gain a better understanding of the situation. In the focus groups, participants don’t believe students committed the acts. "This is happening with relatively young children and most don’t perceive a five- or six-yearold much of a threat," he said. "But once you’ve seen a classroom a student has ripped apart you think differently." While challenging for teachers, it also impacts the other students in the classroom, the teacher sharing her experiences said. Witnessing aggression, even if it isn’t directed at them, is difficult for children to process and teachers must follow up

Roads construction shortfall must be addressed Residents may be in for a rough ride over the next decade or so as York Region grapples with a $1.5-billion shortfall in its forecasted 10-year roads construction budget. While characterized as a "worst case scenario," by director of transportation and infrastructure Brian Titherington, the lack of adequate funding for road work could lead to 56 projects being delayed beyond 2031. That’s not likely to be greeted as good news in a region whose residents list traffic as being one of their biggest concerns. Some parts of York are already congested to a standstill during the morning and afternoon rush hours (if not all day) and the problem will only intensify as the region’s population grows from its current 1.11 million to its projected 1.79 million by 2041. Now, the region is spending more on transportation than it ever has, according to Titherington. But, he stressed, the dollars just aren’t there to continue doing so at the usual pace. Instead, some relief will need to come via transit, carpooling, off-peak travel and emerging technologies. However, those options may not ever satisfy a significant number of residents, especially in a region that was predominantly built around the idea of commuting from one place to another by personal vehicle. For whatever reason, the region seems woefully unprepared for this shortfall. Yes, it is poised to collect $300 million less in development charges than it had anticipated. But this should be a surprise to no one, as there had been numerous warnings issued over the past few years about the potential for the pace of growth to slow. Similarly, the region only passed its transportation master plan last year, which included a list of projects needed to meet the demands presented by growth; so why are we only hearing now that the cost of the needed improvements is about twice the available budget? We agree that hiking taxes above reasonable levels isn’t the answer to the problem and borrowing more money on top of the region’s existing $2.9-billion debtload isn’t a viable option given the spectre of a credit downgrade that would result in higher borrowing costs. Asking the province for additional taxation powers could yield results, depending on what form they take, but the region should also look within for efficiencies and ensure that growth is in fact paying for growth. One thing’s for sure: the solution isn’t simply to shrug and kick 56 cans down the road. Residents deserve better. After all, no one plans to fail; they fail to plan.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • A thank you to River Glenn Haven I have lost my beautiful mom and my heart is broken. But it is so important for me to say thank you to the staff at River Glenn Haven for the love and care they showed my mom. There truly are some very dedicated people who work there. They show love and empathy each and every day. I would like to think that my mom received extra special care, but in truth their devotion extends to all in their care. There were many people my mom truly loved, and many who truly loved her. Both my mom and I were so blessed to have developed some true friendships. The job they do is often times under appreciated and taken for granted, but I

know first hand it takes very special people to do what they do. Their work is hard and extremely demanding but they manage to handle it with such grace. I have the deepest respect for the PSWs, the first-floor housekeepers, the nursing staff, the dining room staff, all of whom worked endlessly and tirelessly to provide care and support for my mom. I am so thankful. I felt the genuine love for my mom, and for that I will be forever grateful. Gratitude is surely a memory of heart. Cathy Morris, Sutton

Re: Vaughan subway will be ready to roll on Dec. 17 says TTC, Sept. 11.

There’s nothing really to celebrate or fuss about the opening of this subway extension beyond York University (even then, the students there were managing pretty well from Wilson or Downsview for many years.) After all this hassle, inconvenience, road congestion (beyond YU) up to the final extension for several years (not to mention countless dollars of tax payers’ money) are we to understand that it would carry 100,000 passengers a year for VMC? That’s only 274 passengers a day. It may be a good sales pitch for local property price increase, but seems hardly a justifiable investment when such money could have been expended in other cost-effective projects. Basu Bose

October brings a busy council meeting schedule

Home & Garden How to inspect your furnace before winter arrives It is almost time to bid adieu to the warm days of summer. Chilly afternoons followed by continually dropping temperatures are on the horizon, and fall is the perfect time to service the home furnace to ensure it is ready to withstand the demands of winter. Furnace maintenance should be done on a regular basis. The best time to do so is in late summer or early fall, when you still have enough time to address any problems before it gets too cold outside. HVAC systems malfunctions are typically caused by one of a handful of common problems. Inspecting certain components can help to guarantee a furnace is in working order when the first cold days arrive.

FILTER AND AIR INTAKES After several months of running the air conditioning, the filter on the heating and cooling system may need to be changed. Check the condition of the filter to see if it is heavily soiled. Furnace filters are relatively inexpensive. Since this thin barrier will be responsible for cleaning the air you breathe, it is important to keep a fresh filter in the unit. A clogged, dirty filter will reduce the efficiency of the HVAC system and may contribute to poor indoor air and allergies.

Check the air intakes around the house for obstructions. Do not place furniture directly in front of intakes or venting that delivers air to the home, as this can compromise air flow and force the unit to work harder. Without adequate air flow through the system, the furnace may not turn on. Many systems also have some sort of external vent or exhaust pipe. Check that the area is free of leaves, debris and animal nests. Again, any blockages can impede the efficiency of the unit or cause it to fail.

THERMOSTAT Very often a furnace may not turn over because the thermostat is faulty. Many a homeowner has spent money to have a service person come out to examine the furnace, only to learn they only need a new thermostat or battery in the thermostat. Check the thermostat against a separate thermometer to ensure that it is reading the right temperature in the house. Raise the setting a few degrees to test if the heat kicks on.

FUEL Furnaces are powered by various energy sources. Electricity, gas or oil may be involved in the process. If fuel is not being delivered to the fur-

nace, the pilot will not light and warm the air to be blown through the house. Some systems have an emergency shut-off switch that will halt fuel delivery to the unit. It’s easy for these switches to be flipped accidentally if a furnace is located in a high-traffic area. Make sure the switch is in the “on” position before reporting a problem.

ELECTRIC HEAT!!!! HAD ENOUGH? Break Away from the Guy who Left You Cold!

016

In addition to these steps, you may want to vacuum the vent screens around the house. This will reduce the amount of dust blown around. Also, if the furnace exhausts into a flue, be sure that the exhaust route is clear so that carbon monoxide does not back up into the home.

Hwy. 48, which have both been the sites of fatal collisions. Dale’s own brother, who required extensive recovery and rehabilitation after a terrible accident, was subsequently rear-ended by another vehicle while stopped at a red light at Woodbine Avenue and Ravenshoe Road. "His vehicle was totalled, along with his confidence in driving these roads," Dale said. He’s not alone. The reasons were many for the now close to 2,000 people who have signed the petition, from numerous accounts of dealing with aggressive, speeding and distracted drivers, to waiting for a vehicle to plow through their front windows in the once quiet "hamlet" of Ravenshoe between Kennedy and Warden, to fearing for your life exiting your

driveway. Others signed the petition in memory of family or friends who lost their lives as the result of collisions. The No. 1 reason cited was "too many people are being killed". "I hate to say it, but this is a townwide epidemic affecting people’s quality of life," said Dale, adding the roads were never designed to handle the traffic loads experienced now. While he acknowledges potential solutions have budget implications for all levels of government, he added the "human" cost of the issue needs to be acknowledged and addressed. "Yes, people want a permanent solution and a more viable way of travel in the community, but in the meantime, we are generally begging for some relief from the situation. You don’t create a social project because you’re trying to find a way to

spend $20 million dollars that year. You create a social project to rectify a situation that’s an issue for everybody. That’s why outreach and open dialogue is so important, not to mention it could save a life." The petition is a forum for discussion, not about blame or pointing the finger, Dale said. "We understand the town, region and York Regional Police are working to find a solution, but in the meantime, people are scared, people are dying and getting hurt, and parents are afraid for their children at bus stops," he said. Possible suggestions posted in the comments varied from immediate measures such as increased police presence and driver responsibility to long-term transportation strategies involving extending the 404 to Pefferlaw.

FIRE SAFETY FUN! In the Matter of the Ontario Heritage Act, 1990, R.S.O. Chapter 18, Section 29 (3). And in the matter of the lands and premises known as the Johnson family burial ground to be described separately on 26280 Park Rd., Sutton Georgina. Notice of Intention to Designate Take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Georgina intends to designate the following property for reasons of cultural heritage value or interest: The Johnson Family Burial Ground CON. 7, PT LOT 6, (Johnson family burial ground to be described separately) 26280 Park Rd. Sutton, ON L0E 1R0 Reasons for Proposed Designation Contextual Value This is a rural area scattered with farmhouses and modern dwellings. Abutting on the south is an enclave of 20th century, modular buildings forming an adult lifestyle complex. The subject property is not important in defining or maintaining the character of the area but it does support the rural quality of Park Road. As an early farm property, it is historically linked to its surroundings. Its status as a landmark is more commemorative than physical, being known to some as Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Castle and to others as the Dr. Noble Farm. Historical or Associative Value The Old Castle farm property at Concession 7, Lot 6, has a direct association with William Johnson, a half pay naval officer who settled in Georgina Township in 1819. About 1827, he founded the mills at Pefferlaw. Johnson was the area leader of the Reform Party which advocated for responsible government in opposition to the governing Family Compact.

THEY COME FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE TO BRING THE WORLD TO YOUR DOORSTEP We thank our distributors and newspaper carriers for their service and dedication to our customers.

This property contains the William Johnson family burial ground. This is a small area of land about a hundred meters to the north of the dwelling. It is enclosed by a perimeter of century old cedar trees with the headstones enclosed by a chain link fence. Additional Information Further information is available for viewing at the Clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department, Municipal Offices, 26557 Civic Centre Rd., Keswick, Ontario. Notice of Objection to the designation may be served on the Clerk within thirty days of the first date of this publication. The last day to appeal the proposed designation is November 5, 2017.

BRINKMANSHIP AGAIN! Brinkmanship is defined as the art or practice of pushing a dangerous situation or confrontation to the limit of safety, especially to force a desired outcome. Many feel that we are again entering into a period of time when this dangerous practice of brinkmanship is being exercised. Last week at the UN General Assembly, North Korea used such statements as “a strike against the U.S. Mainland is inevitable”, especially since President Trump referred to Kim as “Rocket Man”; and in turn, Korea’s UN representative referred to President Trump as a “mentally deranged person full of megalomania and complacency”. The President in turn called out Kim Kjong Un of North Korea as “a madman who doesn’t mind starving or killing his people, and he will be tested like never before!” The above rhetoric is very upsetting to the general public, and many feel could escalate into a serious world-wide confrontation. People who study God’s Word – the Bible – know that God is in control. He has a solution for man’s mismanagement of this earth and it involves Divine interference. Jesus promised to return again and usher in an unprecedented time of peace, righteous government and prosperity to all mankind who love and honour him.
