Two people were taken to hospital and almost 40 households were evacuated or told to shelter in place for five hours in a Kes-wick subdivision behind the Ice Palace early yesterday morning after what is still being investigated as a possible chemical fire in the back of a GFL garbage truck.

“We still don’t know the exact nature of the cause of the fire, but we knew we were dealing with a possible chemical reaction and took the appropriate measures,” Georgi-na Fire Chief Ron Jenkins said before clearing the scene and giving residents a green light to return to their homes just before 2:30 p.m.

The possibility that a mixture of discarded pool chemicals may be the cause of the white smoke billowing out of the back of the GFL garbage truck parked on Sherie Drive just after 9 a.m., meant the only safe response was to treat the incident as a HAZMAT situa-tion, he added.

About 30 people had to leave their homes and all of Sherie and Natanya Boulevard, south of Wexford Drive to Carrick Avenue, were closed for most of the day.

Possible toxic fumes were only part of the problem.

Because of the possible chemical nature of the fire and copious amounts of water required to deal with it, berms needed to be

built to divert and contain the run-off water from going into storm drains, sewers and catch basins.

A command post was set up in the area and residents living on adjacent streets were advised to stay indoors. Neighbouring W.J. Watson Public School kept students indoors as a precaution, although there was no immediate threat, according to York Regional Police.

Jenkins credited fire crews and the assis-tance of numerous agencies as part of the emergency HAZMAT response for handling the situation well, including York Regional Police, York Region Paramedics and Toronto EMS, which provided a bus.

York Region Transit was on site, as well, in case residents needed shelter, East Gwil-limbury Fire Services provided station sup-port, Georgina’s crews were on scene with the Canadian Transport Emergency Centre, operated by the Transportation of Danger-ous Goods (TDG) Directorate of Transport Canada.

The driver and the loader of the garbage truck were taken to hospital, treated and released the same day.

Although the exact cause of the fire was yet to be determined as of yesterday after-noon, Jenkins reminded residents that dis-posal of hazardous materials should be done at designated depots.

After six generations of operating what has become the iconic Jackson’s Point resort, The Briars, the Sibbald family announced Friday it has launched an international search for an investor.

The family is open to a variety of options, including partnership or a partial or full sale, vice-president and general manager Hugh Sib-bald said, adding it is the family’s intent to go with the option that best benefits the investor, owners and the community.

“We’ve got this fabulous property that has been family owned since 1878 and we think it’s time to step up our game,” Sibbald said, add-ing investment is needed to bring in some new facilities and public attractions to the prop-erty. It is already well recognized as a four-star resort, spa and conference centre with almost 100 units in an historic inn, lodges and private cottages, as well as a private 18-hole golf course and 1,500 feet of Lake Simcoe shoreline.

“While we’ve loved building and managing The Briars, now is the perfect time to open the door to opportunity with the 404 bringing Toronto to our doorstep, the hospitality indus-try bouncing back and land values in Georgina growing,” he added.

The family has been quietly looking for an investor for the past three years and working with the town on some ideas and plans, but it hasn’t garnered the “right fit” to date, Sibbald explained.

As a result, Colliers International Hotel Investment, Sales and Advisory Services, with offices in the Middle East, Asia and North and South America was brought on board to handle the international search.

“We will go as far as we have to go to find the right investors to come in who share our pas-sion for the community, for the property and to bring their own ideas and their own innova-tion,” Sibbald said.

“And money,” Barbara Sibbald said frankly, adding “it is a new world out there and we do not have the deep pockets ourselves to bring this forward.”

While Sibbald acknowledged the news may shock those with fears of the historic and iconic property being bulldozed to make way for a large-scale commercial or housing develop-ment, he said that is not the case.

“We would have sold already if it were,” he said, adding the inn and Peacock House also have heritage designations.

It is, instead, about finding an investor who shares the same passion and same enchant-ment from the surroundings as guests do, who wants to build on that to create an even better Briars experience.

“Everything good that has happened here


A new bakery in Jackson’s Point is proving there is a difference between six of one and half a dozen of the other when it comes to zoning.

Ironically, to bake or not to bake is what the issue boils down to for the Blue Bridge Bakeshop because of the Lake Drive building’s current commercial zoning.

While owner Andrea Ruth opened for business selling sourced baked goods May 20, she says it became abundantly clear she would need to do some baking on the premises to better serve her customers and make her business venture finan-cially viable.

The only problem is the build-ing’s current zoning allows for retail use only and no on-site food prepa-ration.

The town acknowledged there were some issues with the zoning on the Lake Drive location prior to opening, but staff were committed to working with the owner as her needs changed.

Various options are available under the planing process, includ-ing applications for a minor variance or rezoning.

The property in question is zoned for retail and has been since the early 1980s, said Ken Turriff, communica-tions manager for the town.

“Town staff are working closely with the business owner, a process that began last August, in order for them to obtain the necessary approvals to proceed with a bakery or bakeshop, which is not currently permitted,” added Turriff.

While Ruth had said she would be closing her doors as of last Fri-day, she remains in discussions with the town, but, at this point, is only opening the doors to the Blue Bridge Bakeshop on weekends.

“Here we are on week two based on nothing more than sheer stupid-ity and much ado about nothing,” she said Tuesday.

Bakery, town working on resolution

has come from a passion to make it so and a respect for the past, the community and the future. That passion is what we hope to find in an investor. With that passion and with smarts and access to investment money, the next steps at The Briars will be as awesome as the last ones,” he said, adding his dad, John, never wanted to create a museum.

“He wanted a living, breathing, growing business that continually expands.”

That is actually a salient point to the prop-erty’s entire history.

From the time Captain Bourchier built The Briars in 1840 until today, the property has served its owners and the community in dif-ferent ways.

It has re-invented itself from a decades-old working farm and livestock operation; to John Sibbald’s vision of natural beauty and environ-mental stewardship.

The Briars original property now offers a superb golf course, a cottage community and has provided an oasis for culture, recreation and hospitality.

It recently added a spa facility and a focus on organic food, fitness and wellness.

It has always been a property of change, from the time it was home to a dairy with 90 trucks to when Sibbald’s grandparents built cottages and the golf course, followed by open-ing year-round and two expansions after that.

It had always had a tradition prior to that, however, of hosting parties and bringing in guests for events.

The possibility of a conference centre, entertainment venue or a brewery as poten-tial options moving forward, especially for the vacant Red Barn lands backing on to Dalton Road, were raised.

In addition, The Briars continues to make major improvements to the resort, such as a new dock and renovated pool areas. More upgrades are also planned for the future.

“It’s always been a property of change, but the heart of The Briars is always the same. The passion for the ecology and for the lake and for the property and for the community, for our staff and our guests, that has always been there,” Sibbald said.

“This is an amazingly complex business with many moving parts. That’s one of the reasons why we chose Colliers. Colliers has a particular specialty with properties like the Briars that are seeking successors or partners. When you go into something like this, you really don’t know what doors will open, whether it is a partner-ship or sale, that’s why we want to take the time to do it right and choose the right investor with the best approach and the best philosophy.”

This is a tremendous opportunity for Geor-gina in terms of bringing in investment, he added.

A Georgina couple was shocked to dis-cover the business they’ve been operating for the past eight years is illegal under the town’s zoning bylaws.

“This is crazy,” Penny Closs said after being notified by the town to cease operations of the DC Marine business as well as the U-haul rental and recreational vehicle storage facility she owns and oper-ates with her husband, Doug, on Baseline Road just east of York Regional Police’s 3 dis-trict headquarters.

That came on the heels of a site inspection by a bylaw officer after a complaint against the property was lodged with the town.

“We’ve always been a ma and pa business. We’re not the type of people to back down, but it just depends on how far we have to go and how much money we have to dish out to sort through this mess,” Closs said, adding they have retained the services of a planning consultant to help them wade through the complicated process.

“We’re just a little guy here. We’re a little business. There’s only so much we can do before we go bankrupt.”

That involves untangling a complex layer of intergovernmental planning legislation that deems the property as protected agri-cultural lands under a very protectionism system, the town’s director of development services, Harold Lenters, said.

“That’s essentially the nut that has to crack,” he added.

The property’s current uses are in contra-vention of the zoning bylaws. The problem now is to legalize it.

While the couple is working with the town’s planning department examining their options, the region’s designation of the prop-erty as agricultural lands under the province’s greenbelt legislation prevents rezoning to recognize its current use.

The Closs’ will seek a temporary use of lands to allow business to continue while the region considers some sort of flexibility policy as part of its Official Plan review pro-cess, especially in light of the fact that review has been delayed from the fall of 2016, as originally intended, until most likely some

time in 2017.“Everybody’s stunned and we’re more

stunned than anybody else,” said Closs, add-ing a petition to rezone the property has been signed by almost 400 people to date, many of whom are some of the 500+ customers will-

ing to write letters in support of a business they say pro-vides a well needed service to the community.

“It is ridiculous,” Doug Closs said, adding perhaps a comprehensive bylaw review that strikes some old and out-dated ones that don’t apply anymore off the books is nec-essary.

“The province can’t just whitewash an entire area as greenbelt when they haven’t done the research, haven’t

seen the property’s use and haven’t stepped foot on the property in at least three decades. We’re six acres. Nobody’s going to farm six acres,” he added.

His wife agreed, especially in light of the fact their neighbours on the one side are the result of exemptions for regional use in the form of a police station and roads depart-ment storage yard.

She hopes some resolution is forthcoming that addresses not only their personal situa-tion but also the disconnect between plan-ning policies in theory and in practice.

“This land hasn’t been farmed for decades. So, we’re being told the property is protected agricultural land and we can’t have storage on the property, but permitted uses under the zoning include an aerodrome, among other things. Who’s going to land a plane here? Are you serious? It just doesn’t make sense. It makes no sense to me. It makes no sense to anyone other than the province and the last time they looked at the property was probably in the 1940s,” she said.

OPINIONEDITORIAL COLUMN

CAS case needs independent probeith the trial of Newmarket father Mario Wint having recently con-

cluded with a guilty plea of manslaughter in the death of his two-year-old son, Ty, questions are, quite rightly, being raised about how the youngster could have ended up in the care of someone, parent or not, with a history of domestic abuse.

While unable to speak to the specifics of the Wint case due to confidentiality, Susan Carmi-chael, the executive director of Simcoe Muskoka Family Con-nexions, formerly the Simcoe Children’s Aid Society and Fam-ily, Youth and Child Services of Muskoka, acknowledged that someone with a history of domestic violence is considered high risk when it comes to put-ting children in his or her care, but also noted “we are in the business of believing people can change.”

There are currently no rules against putting children in the custody of those with domestic violence convictions.

Carmichael went on to explain the approach is to help caregivers capitalize on their strengths and guided by a belief that families should remain

together. That said, she stressed that the child’s safety is always the primary concern.

It’s never a “perfect science” she said. After the death of a child in the care of a CAS organi-zation, the first step is typically an internal review and a pediat-ric death review to make formal recommendations that can be tracked internally.

Others, such as provincial children’s advocate Irwin Elman, are saying that doesn’t go far enough and are calling for an inquest.

Despite concerns about the potential cost of such a move, an inquest seems wholly appro-priate where a child’s death is concerned.

After all, this isn’t the first time in recent memory that a child has been placed in the care of someone who could do them harm by either the courts or a well-intentioned agency. In the case of Jeffrey Baldwin in 2002 and Katelynn Sampson in 2008, the error had tragic conse-quences.

An objective, third-party examination into why a child’s death occurred is the best course to answer the lingering ques-tions and determine what we can do to avoid such tragedies in the future.

WW

New marijuana laws need expediting

Bernie O’Neill

hen I was growing up, my parents would employ some crazy young family manage-ment practices, like put

it out to the whole clan, “We’re having takeout, what would you like to have for dinner?”

This was the type of thing you did when you didn’t have the Internet or 500 TV channels.

You let your kids entertain you.In the case of impromptu takeout

nights, there was a catch. We were buy-ing the dinner from one place. We just needed a consensus on what that place would be.

The O.J. Simpson jury probably did less wrangling. Again, takeout is being legalized for this evening and this eve-ning only as far as this week goes. Just come together on what form that takeout will take and let us know. Or at least show us you have a majority vote.

Eventually, through some debaters making a strong case (“We had burgers last time!” “You always want subs!”) we’d end up with an X-large pizza or bucket of chicken and of the five kids in the fam-ily (yes, five kids... those were the days) two were happy, one was indifferent, one sulked as he chewed on a crust (or chick-en bone) and one went up to her room and did not eat. She’d slam her bedroom door to make her point.

Meanwhile, my dad refried some potatoes that were in the fridge, and smiled, as if he enjoyed nothing more than his evening of UN-style family gov-ernment.

What all this accomplished I was never sure.

Pure, live entertainment, yes.Or it preserved the illusion a family is

a democracy, when, in fact, the parents have the majority vote.

I wondered why one of them didn’t just come walking through the door with a couple of big pizzas. “If you don’t like it, have a bowl of cereal.”

I think of these times in the wake of the fiasco related to the pot dispensaries in Toronto that were busted this past week, the same way a couple of identi-cal pot dispensaries in York Region were busted months ago.

Police, at the apparent urging of the city’s mayor, endeavoured to enforce the laws as they apparently exist (you need

to use a lot of apparentlys here, because apparently a lot of people are very con-fused about what the rules are — even those intimately involved). Why are they confused (or leaping to fill a vaccuum amid the apparent confusion)?

A government with a young leader who admits to having smoked marijuana as an MP, runs on the promise to legalize marijuana. That government is elected to a majority. Months and months pass.

Finally an announcement is made that they hope to have the legislation passed, at some point (hopefully) next year — 1-1/2 years after being elected.

A long time, considering how preva-lent the use of this stuff already is, whether we like it or not.

York police use something called a “crime map” on their website. If you set it to show you all the drug-related crimes (90 per cent of which appear to be pos-session of marijuana) between when the Liberals were elected and today, the map lights up with literally hundreds and hundreds of charges.

The other day, I saw a driver in a BMW as we crawled along 16th Avenue, holding a marijuana joint out the win-dow (so as not stink up his nice car) between puffs.

York police recently pulled over a driver who was spotted smoking a bong behind the wheel.

I doubt smoking up while driving is going to be allowed under the coming legislation.

But in the wake of no new legislation, people are doing whatever they please, it seems to me.

I wish those in charge — in this case, our government — would just order the large pizza, metaphorically speaking, and get on with it.

When it comes to the haze of pot laws, clarity is needed.

eep informed.As many of you know, I utilize

social media to promote the many events and businesses in our town.

I love nothing better than travelling around town posting pictures of things that are happening in the community.

Part of my role and job as mayor is to represent and promote Georgina across the region and I believe that starts right at home.

I also share and promote the town’s web-site and social media communication items.

It always puzzles me when people ask a question on a social media page that is read-ily available on our town webpage.

In the past, the old website was awkward to search, but our new website is very user friendly and if you can’t find something quickly, you can always send a message to [email protected].

When in doubt, it is always best to go to the source for the details.

I follow or get “tagged” in Facebook posts and try to respond to the concerns raised. If you have a question or concern you want council to hear, you can always e-mail your ward councillor, myself or regional council-lor Danny Wheeler and we can help with getting you the answer. That can be more productive than a Facebook tag that we may or may not see.

Social media is a wonderful tool to use

KUse Internet to keep informed

Expect more 3-wheelers on road

Cops are getting more and more calls about drivers spotting an unusual vehicle on York Region’s roads – sort of like a cross between a dune buggy and backwards tri-cycle, but, at the same time, neither.

‘Is it road legal? Is it safe?’ callers might ask. The answer to both questions is, “Yes”.

Last week, York Regional Police showed off the Polaris Slingshot a three-wheeled vehicle that has its own separate motor vehicle distinction.

Unlike a motorcycle, any driver with a full G licence can drive a three-wheeler, however the motorist is required to be strapped into their bucket seat and wearing a helmet.

The stick-shift 173 horse-power Sling-shot, which costs about $30,000, has been banned in some American states, including Connecticut, the state is refusing to allow drivers to classify or register it as a motor-cycle.

There are also videos of the Slingshot, which carries the weight of the engine up front, turning over on its side when corner-ing is taken too aggressively.

A 47-year-old Georgina man remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries after a collision between a motorcycle and a car in Keswick May 28 at about 7:25 pm.

The driver of the motorcycle was trans-ported to hospital from the scene of the accident on Metro Road at Spring Road in Keswick with serious but non-life threaten-

ing injuries, but his condition declined in hospital, according to York Regional Police.

The driver of the car involved in the acci-dent was arrested at the scene.

Justin Clodd, 20, of the Township of Perry, has been charged with impaired driving causing bodily harm, over 80, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and possession of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.

The past weekend, another 13 drivers were arrested and charged with alcohol

and drug related criminal driving offences, according to police.

Of the 13 arrests, four were a result of motor vehicle collisions, five from spot checks and general patrol and four as a result of concerned citizens calling 911 to report possible impaired drivers.

Reading Club for children and youth.


A famous handshake launching one of Canada’s most successful sports broadcasting franchises was commemorated Saturday on the Georgina golf course where it took place almost 90 years ago.

The Orchard Beach Golf Club is renowned not only for its stunning vistas of Cook’s Bay and beautiful course, but also for being steeped in Toronto Maple Leafs lore.

Conn Smythe, who owned the Maple Leafs from 1927 to 1961, was part of a small group of men to establish the nine-hole course

Orchard Beach Golf Club site of hockey history

in 1926, hiring renowned Cana-dian golf course designer Stanley Thompson to work out a course on a 60-acre parcel of land in the heart of Keswick.

“Apparently, Conn Smythe and a few players like Hap Day, Eddie Shore and others had cottages here. There was really no local place to play golf, so they built their own course,” club manager and head golf professional Corey Helm explained.

This past weekend, the club unveiled a plaque on its sixth fair-way, commemorating the spot where Smythe and advertising executive Jack McLaren shook hands in 1929 on a deal to tie MacLaren’s client (General Motors) to Hockey Night in Canada (radio version) broadcast rights at Maple Leaf Gardens — which became the iconic Canadian TV production a few decades later.

“This little course actually played a huge part in Canadian history of what we’re calling the birthplace of Hockey Night in Canada. This plaque will remind generations to come of our part in Canadian broadcast history,” Helm said dur-ing Saturday’s event, which also served to officially open the club’s ongoing 90th anniversary celebra-tions.

Those include roaring 20s prices — 99-cent rounds — by the way, on June 7 and Sept. 30.

“When you have a chance to raise a glass, don’t just raise a glass to our anniversary, raise a glass to our forefathers and all the ances-tors who came before us and who built this great course and the his-tory that’s here,” Helm concluded before teeing off for a very special round.

Founded as a non-profit course, Orchard Beach has maintained that status and currently has 275 con-trolling shareholders.

Deb Green, Hilde Hammer, Bill Eddie, Corey Helm, Fernando Laman-na, Gary Brooks, Brad McCulla were on hand to commemorate the deal that led to Hockey Night in Canada broadcast rights.

That seemingly harmless pile of mail at the front door or the unorganized bedroom closet bursting at the seams may be having a negative impact on your health.

A kitchen with cluttered countertops can make cooking healthy meals seem like a chore and lead you to turn to unhealthier options such as fast food. Crammed closets can cause stress during the morning rush to be on time for work. And coming home to a less than organized space can be over-whelming and draining.

That’s all according to Kathy Russell, a profes-sional organizer and owner of York Region-based Butler Girl Lifestyle Solutions.

“We live in a society obsessed with stuff and when it starts piling up it can lead to feeling over-whelmed and even depression,” she said. “It has a ripple effect, not only impacting your mental heath, but also your physical health.”

It can strain a relationship when one partner is neat and the other isn’t and hinder a person’s social life because they will avoid having their friends and family over due to embarrassment.

“Most people just try to ignore it or close the door, but that doesn’t really address the problem since your brain still knows it’s there,” she said. “People who realize it needs to be dealt with usu-ally feel overwhelmed and don’t really know where to start.”

The first step is realizing clutter is a habit and

that doing a clean sweep and utilizing organizing solutions is a lifestyle change, much like when an individual decides to eat healthier rather than using a quick fix diet.

“It takes about 21 days to change your behaviour and have it stick,” Russell said. “Take note of your everyday steps and find a solution.”

For example, if you pick up the newspapers and drop them inside the front door everyday and feel overwhelmed when it comes time to recycle them, it might be a good idea to put the recycling bin for

paper at the front entrance.“People also try to take on too much at one

time, get overwhelmed and then give up,” she ex-plained.

She recommends starting small. For example, schedule 10 minutes of your day,

maybe in the evenings, to tackle a small project such as your cutlery drawer. Something that takes only 10 or 15 minutes can give one a great sense of accomplishment and fuel them to do more.

When taking on larger projects, use the three-pile rule when sorting: one pile for garbage, one pile to keep and one to recycle or donate.

Her clients often speak of feeling re-energized, less stressed and enjoy their homes more when the clutter has been cleared and/or reorganized into a functional space.

Clutter CatCher: KitChen

Risk: Counters piled with items, unorganized cupboards and overcrowded drawers make it dif-ficult to enjoy being in the kitchen and cooking healthy meals, which can lead to frustration and weight gain.

Solutions: • Take on one drawer or cupboard at a time, tossing

multiples and paring down. There are only four burners on a stove, so why does a person need 10 pots?

• Make the kitchen functional: plates stored above the dishwasher to make them easier to put away and coffee mugs stored over the coffee maker.

• Keep only essential items on the counter top so you don’t have to clean before you prep food.

Clutter CatCher: Closet

Risk: Not being able to find things in the morning is frustrating and stressful, especially when trying to be on time for work.

Solutions:• Make it a rule to remove an item from your closet

when you purchase something new.• Keep your summer and winter clothes separated

so you only have to sift through half of your wardrobe to find something.

• People only wear 20 per cent of the clothing they own 80 per cent of the time so purge what you

don’t wear often.• Enlist the help of a friend, not only for support but

to be the voice of reason when you have diffi-culty throwing something away.

Clutter CatCher: laundry room

Risk: Because one’s laundry room isn’t usually seen by others, it becomes a dumping ground in an attempt to clear out other parts of the house. En-tering the room can be overwhelming for a person once it gets out of hand.

Solutions:• Take everything out of the room that isn’t cleaning

or laundry related and keep it out.• When a full load of laundry accumulates, wash and

dry it and put it away.• Be creative when finding storage solutions; utilize

the walls and cupboard space.

Clutter maintenanCe:

Now that your home is de-cluttered, find solu-tions that help you maintain it.• Everything in your house should have a “home”

which will make it easier to put something away once you are done using it.

• Spend 10 to 15 minutes every night putting things back where they belong or sorting through paper piles.

• Add a monthly event to your calendar to take on a maintenance task like your closet or kitchen pantry.

how to avoid being overwhelmed:

Spring cleaning and de-cluttering can seem like a large task but York Region public health nurse Linh Lee said there are simple actions a person can take to avoid becoming overwhelmed.• Break down activities into sections or time periods

rather than attacking the whole project at once.• Take mini-breaks and do something you enjoy,

such as drinking a cup of tea, to re-energize yourself.

• Invite family and friends to help.• Don’t forget to refuel with healthy snacks and

water.— Teresa Latchford

10 tips to help you live longerYou want to live a long time and be healthy as well? Here are some tips to help you stay young at heart and healthy in body.1. Stay active. Get moving! Go golfing,

dancing, swimming or biking. Play tennis or do some gardening. To stay fit, do at least 150 minutes of moder-ate- to high-intensity physical activity per week and adopt an active lifestyle. For example, use the stairs instead of the elevator and walk or bike to get where you’re going whenever pos-sible.

2. Watch your diet. A healthy, balanced diet improves your general well-being and is essential for controlling your weight, cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Follow the Canada Food Guide’s recommendations; eat less sugar and be moderate in your con-sumption of alcohol.

3. See your doctor on a regular basis. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure, and that’s why your doctor is your best ally. Have regular checkups and go for recom-

mended screening tests. An early di-agnosis can make all the difference in the event of illness.

4. Take care of yourself. Listen to your body, and see your dentist and op-tometrist regularly. Exercise your brain to keep your memory active, and splurge once in a while on beauty treatments or activities that boost your morale.

5. Get enough sleep. Lack of sleep in-creases irritability and reduces con-centration. It also increases the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. For most people a good night’s rest involves at least eight hours of sleep.

6. Relax. Learn to manage your stress. Intense stress can cause insomnia and even skin rashes. It can also aggravate conditions such as high blood pres-sure and Type 2 diabetes. Take time for yourself and relax. Do yoga, learn to breathe properly, get a massage or read. In other words, slow down and smell the roses.

7. Quit smoking. Smoking increases the risk of lung cancer, heart disease

and stroke. The sooner you quit, the sooner your body can recover and benefit from reduced chances of a premature death.

8. Cultivate your social life. Having a full social and emotional life helps you live longer and makes it easier to enjoy life’s little pleasures. Surround yourself with people you love, and spend time with your family. Volun-teer, join a club or sports team and consider adopting a pet. Avoid iso-lating yourself, because doing so is harmful to your health.

9. Maintain your passions. It’s important to have fun and to have a hobby that you love. Set goals and objectives for yourself, whether it’s to improve your backhand in tennis or put in another flower bed in your backyard. Working on projects helps you keep an active mind and high spirits.

10. Treat yourself. Go on a trip or change your decor. Buy some tickets for a show or go see a movie. Eat out, or invite someone in for a meal. Think about your own needs and spoil your-

self a little.To live as long as possible, it’s impor-

tant to stay young at heart and learn to see the positive side of things. Prac-

tice gratitude and appreciate what you have. Take every opportunity to laugh, and above all, make the most of the mo-ment.

With more participants than ever in this must-see event in Keswick that features something for everyone — including 50 exhibitors, 100 antique cars, a beauti-ful gemstone ring door prize donated by Prestige Jewelry valued at $2,000, an outdoor food stand operated by the KCW Volunteers, music, silent auctions, ra� e items, and a 50/50 draw.

It’s all about feeling good — and that includes an “entry fee” of a non-perish-able food item that will help event or-ganizer Kathy Foch � ll her famous Client Services Truck for the local food pantry.

Realtor Kathy Foch, who celebrates her 25th year serving the residents of Geor-gina, is the founder and lead sponsor of the Young at Heart Lifestyles Show.

Now in its 7th year, York Region’s SHOW of the North grew to its epic pro-portions in attendance and social media buzz from a little conversation over tea where Kathy envisioned an informal gathering bringing together the profes-sionals with the people whose lifestyles would bene� t from the myriad of servi-

ces they provide.The “casual conversations” Kathy was

hoping to facilitate have evolved during the event’s short history to include live entertainment, an outdoor barbecue, a classic car show and what can aptly be described as a great afternoon thanks to the interest of an expanding list of participants and attendees alike, in-cluding the Georgina Military Museum, which will host its open house with lots

of action and displays to go along with the excitement of Young at Heart.

The popular expo o� ers everything from � nancial advisors to health and wellness experts to professional organ-

izers. Proceeds from the various ra� es and draws all go to Kathy’s Christmas Wish Foundation. There’s even a Kids Corner this year that will allow the kids to make something special for Father’s Day to take home.

Every aspect of the event ties into an overarching theme of being Young at Heart — no matter what your age. It is all about a mindset; not a speci� c number. Staying Young at Heart means living life to its fullest.

The Young at Heart expo provides ac-tivities and the people who can help you make that happen — all under one roof.

If you enjoy the oldies but goodies make sure to stop by and visit the New-market Car Club who will once again be part of The Young at Heart Lifestyles show.

Formed in 1974 by a group of classic car lovers, the club’s mandate is not only promot-ing the safe operation and maintenance of both classic and high performance vehicles, but also service to the community through various projects.

Through its participation in events such as Newmarket’s Winterfest, Santa Claus Parade, Fairy Lake Car Show and Gra� ti Night at the Drive-In, numerous organizations received invaluable sup-port, including Newmarket’s food pan-try, minor hockey association, Adopt A Highway Program and the Maple Health Centre.

It is about giving back to your com-munity and paying it forward — some-

thing Kathy Foch has been doing for the past 25 years and something the Young at Heart Show epitomizes.

There’s more YAH in the YAH this year

The Newmarket Car Club will once again be part of the Young at Heart Lifestyles show - showing o� their classic and high-performance vehicles.

The non-perishable food item “entry fee” will help stock the Georgina Food Pantry.

Every aspect of the event ties into an over-arching theme of being Young at Heart — no matter what your age.

Honour our vets at Georgina’s Military MuseumGeorgina’s Military Museum brings history to life, honouring the tremendous sacri� ces made by so many from the colonial era to current global con� icts that have preserved a Canadian way of life we all enjoy.

Open from April 16 to the Nov. 26 on weekends, the museum’s centrepiece event is its annual Military Day taking place this year June 4 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Get up close with restored WWII vehicles, re-enactors and The Queens’ York Rangers1st. Amer. Regiment, have the kids’ faces painted, place a few bids on silent auction items and nibble from an all-day barbecue put on by the local Kinsmen Club and sponsored by Royal LePage realtor Kathy Foch during the 8th annual event.

It is a great day and a great way to engage with the past in a meaningful way at the only military museum in York Region.

Coupled with the museum’s library of audio/visual/printed interviews and collection of vehicles and artillery pieces, the permanent exhibits — divided into sections depicting not only the two world wars, but also the nation’s military campaigns from the early days

of Upper Canada right up to Canada’s peacekeeping e� orts — weave a compelling tapestry of local history, national con� icts and the evolving nature of warfare.

Most importantly, however, they

reveal the people and their stories, asking viewers to explore the emotional aspects beyond the technical components,

“We are here to remember and honour the sacri� ces made,” says military museum president Sid Giddings, pointing

to the importance and responsibility of passing down an accurate historical record to current generations.

The museum is located at 26061 Woodbine Ave. in Keswick, just south of

Baseline Road.Make sure to save the date for Military

Day as it is one of the area’s must-see events and only costs $5 admission.

There’s still time for your childhood dreams

You’re never too old to dream. In fact it’s just the opposite. Retire ment is the perfect opportunity to achieve your wildest dreams, your youthful dreams, or to pursue new ones that are more in line with your latest interests. While some people

dream of climbing in the Hima layas, others prefer something a little more relaxing; the constraints of your physical abilities are the only limitation. Whatever your dreams, it’s time to believe in yourself and give yourself the means to achieve them.

You could embark on a major pro ject that is close to your heart, such as going back to school or training for a new job; you could start a small business, go ab road for a year, make the pilgrimage to Santiago de Com pos tela, or write a novel.

Living out your dreams also means doing some simple things that you just never had time to do before: learn to play an instrument, see all your fa vourite director’s movies, read the great literary classics, or learn to make wedding ca kes. It also means spoiling your self by doing a few of the onceinalifetimethings that you always promised yourself, such as going on an Alaskan cruise, a ride in a hot air balloon, or a trip to Las Vegas to see a show.

Dreams can be satisfying without having to be grandiose or out of your comfort zone. Whether you crave adventure or relaxation, the important thing is not to have re grets, to not say later that you should have done this or that when the opportunity presented it self. So, what are you waiting for?

3 safety tips for seniors on smartphonesDo you remember rotary dials, party lines and payphones? These days, the world is just a touchscreen away. The technology is fascinating but for seniors especially, it’s important to balance convenience with security and privacy precautions. The following three tips will help you enjoy all the benefits smartphones offer, worry free:

Be App SAfe

From games and daily planners to health care and transportation solutions, there are apps for almost any need. But some have been designed to gain access to personal data.

Limit risks by first, only downloading apps from trusted sources, such as Google Play and the Apple App Store, and also by choosing strong privacy settings, paying attention to permission settings, and disabling tracking features, like GPS, when not in use. And remember to keep your device operating system uptodate so you have the latest security software.

Don’t tAlk to StrAngerS

Your phone connects you with loved ones, but it can also expose you to scams and online predators.

“Criminals often target seniors with text messages, emails, and social media messages promising too

goodtobetrue investments, contests, or lowcost medications,” explains Shelly Smith, director of Telus Wise. “Typically, these are supported with professional websites and seemingly legitimate company names, so it’s no wonder they work.”

Trivia and other games texted directly to you also pose a threat. Simply opening these can incur major fees. As a rule of thumb, never engage with unknown senders or click suspicious links – and never transfer money to strangers.

protect YourSelf in cASe

of SmArtphone loSSBefore your smartphone goes missing, you can

safeguard your information in a few ways. Invest in a warranty program. Install software that allows you to remotely erase data – some devices already have this built in. Create strong passwords using acronyms, combinations of letters and numbers, and different cases and special characters. But what if the smartphone disappears?

“Immediately contact your phone company,” says Smith. “They can help you find or replace it promptly.”

Your smartphone opens up countless possibilities so combine these tips with common sense to stay safe while you stay connected.

Leisure activities: the key to a happy retirement

Are you approaching retirement? You need to start thinking about what you’ll do with the priceless gift of time that you’ll be receiving. To fully appreciate this new stage of your life rather than dreading it, you just have to be well prepared. So take stock of your interests, and take control of the situation now by listing all the activities you would like to indulge in when you’re well rested.

Fun activities

Consider a variety of activities that you can do alone, as a couple, with family, or friends. This is a great opportunity to take up knitting in order to relax, try new restaurants with your spouse, go to shows or sports events with the family, or contact friends you haven’t seen for ages. Quilting, poker, reading, golf, movies, jigsaw puzzles, hiking, museums — the possibilities are endless and so you’re sure to find a hobby that is in tune with your interests.

classes For enriching the mind

You never had time to pursue your passions? The time has come to remedy the situation; take a class in music, art, sports, computers, language, cooking,

or sewing. Take classes to develop a long-neglected talent, to perfect an art that you’re already familiar with, or to get acquainted with a new discipline.

discussion groups

Will you miss all those discussions with your work colleagues? Join a group to share your passions or just to meet people and exchange ideas and opinions. You might want to join a book or bridge club, a bowling or hockey league, or do lawn bowling or sing in a choir.

If you take the time to plan your leisure activities, your retirement will be relaxing but never boring!

Tips for designing your retirement lifestyle

You’re working roughly 2,000 hours a year right now – how will you spend that time when you re-tire? It might seem an obvious question, yet when an RBC survey asked working Canadians aged 50 plus* what their plans were for their retirement, three-quarters were unsure of their plans for filling this time.

Financial planner and retirement designer Bill Hill of RBC suggests that you should be thinking now about your lifestyle priorities, so you can design an overall plan that supports the retirement life you hope to enjoy.

“Personal priorities like family, travel, living ar-rangements and leaving a legacy must all be con-sidered together, as part of designing your larger plan,” says Hill. “Planning your retirement should be a positive experience that gets you excited about your future and the things you may have been put-ting off.”

Bill Hill’s top tips for designing your retirement:• Discuss your personal priorities together with your

partner, so your retirement plan includes both of you. The RBC survey found couples who make

retirement decisions together are almost twice as likely than those who make these decisions independently to feel excited about retirement planning.

• Do a test-run of your individual dream scenarios. Rent a property where you are considering living, book a short-term trip, visit at different times of the year to learn more about the year-round re-alities of the lifestyle you’re planning.

• If you hope to travel in retirement, consider where you want to go and for how long and what it will take to support your travel plans. Will you want to travel in luxury or economy, on your own, in a group, long-term or short-term? How will travel affect other retirement considerations like your living arrangements?

• Make sure your dream home in retirement takes into consideration access to family, friends, healthcare, shopping, as well as upkeep costs and any mobility needs – now and in future.*aged 50-75; $100,000-$999,999 in investable

When you comeinto Haig Kennedy

Automotive,you talk directly tothe mechanic/owner!

Reputation — it is something that is hard won and easily lost, but Jim Nelson has had his in the auto industry for close to four decades.

“Our experience and longevity basic-ally says it all,” says owner Jim Nelson, who is well known for being the “go-to guy” in the industry.

Fix Auto is the place to make your first call if you’ve had damage to your vehicle.

The fully equipped shop convenient-ly located at the corner of Hwy. 48 and Ravenshoe Road since 1984 is only a short distance from anywhere in Geor-gina.

Jim, shop manager Earl Harwood and

a team of 11 employees take the stress and hassle associated with an accident out of the equation for their customers.

“Our simplified claims process with your insurer, our quality commitment and the Fix Auto guarantee all combine to ensure your peace of mind,” says Jim, adding with the Fix Auto international brand, any insurance claims can be dealt with quickly and efficiently.

“Anywhere you see our sign, you’ll find the impeccable standard of quality that has made our name. Just ask your insurance company.”

So, what do you get?The simplicity of one-stop stream-

lined service, a rock-solid guarantee and peace of mind.

The Fix Auto network in-cludes 318 bodyshops, all maintaining the same stan-dards of quality, ethics and performance.

Quality, ethics and per-formance have been Jim’s philosophy ever since he started in the business al-

most 40 years ago.In addition, the shop has always been

the place to go for auto glass and Krown Rust Protection — a great way to ensure your vehicle lasts longer and remains its value.

Not only that, but Fix Auto is also the authorized Enterprise Rent-A-Car agent.

We all strive to make the most of warm weather. Be it family activities or entertaining friends and neigh-bours, being outside is at the top of most weekend agendas. This thrusts outdoor spaces into the spot-light and you may begin to notice that your deck or dock looks tired and weathered.

If your outdoor wood surface has been left un-protected for a couple of seasons it will likely be grey; the surface may be cracked or splintering and black mould or mildew could be growing on the surface. However there is no need to replace your deck. Today there are new coatings designed to re-pair these old surfaces and it takes no more than two steps.

Clean and prepare the surfaCe

Proper wood surface preparation is of para-mount importance. Before applying your coating completely clear the space of furniture and acces-

sories. Be sure to clean the surface of dirt and de-bris. Consider using a deck cleaner to remove oxi-dation, dirt, mould, mildew and dead wood fibres. Apply cleaner with a push brush and rinse off with a garden hose. Allow 24 hours for your deck to dry before moving to the next step.

proteCt and seal.

The final step is to simply apply your coating. For best results be sure to follow the directions for your choice of product. You may need one to two coats depending on coverage. Regarding dry time again be sure to follow the specific directions on the can but in general allow 24 to 48 hours for dry time be-fore replacing outdoor and patio furniture.

Proper preparation and treatment will quickly transform your outdoor spaces.

Is your deck looking a little bit worse for wear?

Decorate your rockery with styleIn horticulture, a plant is said to be variegated when its foliage displays two different co lours. Using colourful foliage brings elegance and light to your flowerbeds and rockeries. Here are some tips to help you show off your variegated plants to advantage.

First of all, to preserve the bi-coloured fo liage, you need to be very careful about res pecting the needs of the plant, especially hours of sunshine, soil type and watering. You should also apply a low-nitrogen ferti lizer. Remove any completely green leaves that appear as soon as you notice them; this is a phenomenon called reversion, and it can affect all variegated plants.

For a more striking effect, variegated plants have to be showcased. Plant them next to species

with dark green foliage, and play with contrasting colours and textures. In small spaces, opt for quality, not quantity; too many variegated plants in one place may not give the desired effect. Use them to liven up shaded or semi-shaded areas and in plan-ters or pots to give your deck a so phisticated look. An esthetic tip: grow golden variegated plants in white resin pots and cream-based mixes in terracotta pots.

Garden centres introduce new species of va-riegated plants every year in order to meet the growing demand for them. A sa les as sociate or landsca ping specialist can help you find perennials, annuals, trees, shrubs and conifers that will make your yard the envy of your neighbourhood.

WHERE DOYOU STAND?The Bible claims to be the Word of God, challenging us with its Divine origin. Five hundred

times in the first five books of the Bible, we read the words: “The Lord said”, or “The Lord

spake”. Three hundred times again in the following books of the Bible, we have the same

words. Similar expressions occur not less than twelve hundred times in the prophetic books:

Isaiah to Malachi.

The Bible thus claims to be the inspired Word of God. The book of Hebrews (1:1) confirms

this thought again: “In the past, God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many

times and in various ways”.

Unfortunately today, many allow inspiration for some portions of the Bible, and deny it for

others; but obviously, it must either be all true, or all false, for its 66 books are indissolubly

linked together. We must either accept all, or reject all; and, sooner or later, every person will

be forced to decide where he or she stands in this matter. Where do you stand?

To help you with your study of the Bible to learn more about God’s message and plan for us

all, please subscribe to the free magazine: “Light On a NewWorld”.

f you take a look at Lionel Purcell’s life, you’ll learn it’s impossible to find someone he didn’t help.

Whether it was serv-ing his country, engaging in his community or helping his fam-ily, Lionel had a heart that never lacked room for anyone in need. His candle burned long and bright before his passing on May 12 at the age of 95.

He’s survived by his wife of 59 years, Rita; and their four children, Carrie, Mark, Blair and Holly; four grandchildren, Blake, Kathryn, Andrew and Christo-pher; and his brother Vernon.

Blair Purcell said

his father taught his

family the importance of

giving. “There was good

in giving” he used to tell

them.

Following his memorial service last month, Lionel was taken on a final ride through the Highland Hills cemetery in Gormley. Fittingly, two ponies pulled the carriage.

Beyond his family, Lionel is remembered for his tireless volunteer work across Scarbor-ough and Markham, and for his Whitchurch-Stouffville farm that brought endless joy for thousands of children and their families.

Lionel and his wife Rita started Lionel’s Pony & Petting Farm in 1963 at their then Scar-borough farm, near Birchmount Avenue and Steeles Avenue. In 1981, he and his family moved to McCowan Road in Stouffville and continued Lionel’s Farm operations.

His farm served as a fun learning experience for people of all ages who would learn everything about agriculture

Lionel Purcell loved his ponies and people

Lionel Purcell’s son Blair, with Lionel’s wife Rita, steers two shetland ponies around the diveway at Highland Hills Funeral Home and Cemetery, in Gorm-ley, following a memorial service for Lionel last month. The family operates a popular pony farm and petting zoo on McCowan Road. Lionel was well known throughout the GTA for his volunteer work. He was 95.

Ifrom processing grain to brush-ing a pony. As part of his legacy, Lionel’s Farm is still owned and operated by his family today.

“He was a man before his time,” said his son Blair. “Some of the things he’d done with school programs back in the late 1960s and early ‘70s was similar to things in the modern curricu-lum today.”

Things such as getting chil-dren to clip a pony’s hooves, or strip the grain off the stock and remind them that’s the source of their oatmeal breakfast they had in the morning. His hands-on approach left parents and chil-dren alike walking out of classes amazed by what they’d learned.

“Mr. Purcell had the unique skill to teach just about anyone about animal agriculture,” said Whitchurch-Stouffville Mayor Justin Altmann. “He was respect-ed and admired by our commu-nity members and his famous farm has provided thousands of people near and far with the opportunity to experience agri-culture.”

Before opening his farm, Lionel worked as a realtor, fol-lowing the footsteps of his father. He would often sell plots of farms in Scarborough and Markham, including the land for the Markham Fairgrounds. At 17 years old in 1937, Lionel was the youngest person at the time to receive his real estate licence in this area, Blair said.

But shortly after receiving that licence, Lionel enlisted in the Canadian army’s armoured regiment. He taught shooting, first in Canada, then in Europe shortly after D-Day. He went through Holland, Belgium, France and Germany before returning to Canada to continue his tireless efforts to help others.

“He found enjoyment in being involved in the commu-nity,” Blair said. “That’s why he joined all these organizations, it was important to him to follow the lines and steps of people who laid the foundation before him and hoping people would

carry on after them.”His volunteer work stretched

across countless organizations. The Scarborough Lions Club, Scarborough Historical Soci-ety, Rouge Valley Foundation, Scarborough planning board, Markham Fair, Canadian Pony Society, Canadian Livestock Records and Royal Agricultural Winter Fair were some of the organizations he volunteered with.

Lionel became known in Scar-borough and York Region for tak-ing in animals others didn’t want.

And he would help others in the community if they needed anything.

“He was always willing to sup-ply carriages, animals, ponies and horses to various events in

Stouffville, Markham and Scar-borough,” said his daughter, Holly.

Lionel was interested in ponies ever since he had his first one at the age of three. He bred them throughout his life.

His work with the Cana-dian Pony Society and Canadian Livestock Records reflects his meticulous care and concern for animals.

“He got involved with orga-nizations that governed his ani-mals,” Blair said. “He was always one for proper rules and regula-tions, it meant a lot for him.”

Blair said his father taught his family the importance of giving. “There was good in giving” he used to tell them.

“He was never one to say no,”

Blair said. “It was never about receiving anything.”

Lionel achieved much in his life; the Scarborough Walk of Fame named him citizen of the year in 2003 for his work with the Scar-borough Historical Society. He was one of five people recognized that year.

Lions Clubs International awarded Lionel the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award for his dedica-tion to humanitarian services. Lions was an organization Lionel greatly cared for but his family always came first.

“He was a family man, loved his family, but he was passionate about the farm. He said ‘if you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life’ and that fit him to a T,” Blair said.

I know that we never lose the ones we love, even in death. Your gentle spirit is always with me. The scent of your Cherry tobacco speaks volumes of your presence and even from the other side, you still give me “goose bumps.” Our vows remained sacred and although we pledged “until death do we part,” eternity was open ended,

“See you on the other side darling.”
