York Region’s schools got a funding boost of $41 million over the next two years to help repair and renew existing buildings.
The funding was announced Tuesday morning by provincial Education Minister Mitzie Hunter in Vaughan at Joseph A. Gib-son Public School.
The money breaks down to $25 million for the York public board and $16 million for the Catholic board.
The minister said the cash will be used to repair roofs, update HVAC units and mod-ernize electrical and plumbing systems.
Hunter said prior funding commitments to the York boards for repair and renewal funding now total $120 million over the next two years. She added the province will invest an additional $1.1 billion prov-incewide over the next two years for school renewal to bring the total up to $2.7 billion when existing funding is added in.
“This money is urgently needed. A school with a long list of repairs is not serving our students at a level they deserve,” Hunter said.
“This funding means fresh asphalt, new flooring, enhanced play areas and more —

Forget Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, baby snapping turtles stole the show last Thursday at Seneca King Campus.
More than a dozen of the turtles were released to their natural habitat by VIPs, including Seneca College president David Agnew, World Wildlife Federation Canada CEO, former Toronto mayor David Miller and King Township Mayor Steve Pellegri-ni.
And the assembled guests on the scenic grounds of the Lady Eaton property at Sen-eca got to hear some turtle trivia and infor-mation from Dr. Sue Carstairs, the execu-tive and medical director of the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre (OTCC).
It was the OTCC that took the turtle eggs from a Seneca College staffer last fall, put them in an incubator for two months, hatched and raised the babies for several months and then set them free June 30.
York schools get $41-million injection for repairs, upgrades
all of the little things and some big things that exist in the background of a students everyday experience,” she said.
“It is important for people to know that Ontario’s world-class education system is
being delivered in high-quality facilities.”She said that since 2003, “our govern-
ment has invested more than $14 billion in school infrastructure, including 760 new schools and more than 735 additions and
renovations. We’re in the midst of provid-ing more than $12 billion over 10 years to Ontario’s school boards. This funding will help build more new schools in areas of high growth.”
Of concern to the OTCC, Carstairs said, is that of the eight turtle species native to southern Ontario, seven are at risk and snapping turtles are considered of special concern.
Carstairs said the reason for special concern is that snapping turtles suffer from, “habitat loss and injuries and death on roads.”
She said, “people can help a turtle cross the road if it’s safe to do so. Make sure you’re a safe boater, a safe fisher. Don’t col-lect them for the pet trade, don’t consume them for food.”
Ontario Education Minister Mitzie Hunter was at at Joseph A. Gibson Public School in Vaughan to announce $41 million in funding for York Region schools.

You have to hand it to King Township council for being consistent when it comes to its decisions on severance applications.
For the second time within a month, council turned down a severance applica-tion on a residential property in a King City neighbourhood.
The application was to turn a Snowberry Lane property from two lots to three, but council was not interested in the notion, just as it said no to a severance application on Warren Road on May 29.
The decision “pleased” King City Council-lor Debbie Schaefer.
“I do not believe it is right to be amending official plans to accommodate the desires of an individual property owner. Official plans are created by the community to regulate how that community is to evolve,” Schaefer said in an email.
“I believe that other applications would follow if this application was successful. Even though Kingscross dates from the 1950s, this is the first severance application... I believe we need to be thinking ahead 30 to 50 years as to what we want the community to be.”

■ EDITORIAL COLUMN
We can’t wait for 15-minute GO service here was some good news for commut-ers in communities located along the Bar-rie GO Transit rail cor-
ridor last month as the province announced its intent to build five new stations as part of Metrolinx’s planned 10-year regional express rail expansion.
If all goes according to plan, one of those new stations would be located at Mulock Drive in Newmarket to serve the town’s growing population and ease some of the burden on the Aurora GO station.
According to Metrolinx, the proposed Mulock station was “evaluated as offering high travel time savings and having a medi-um level of ease of construction and construction affordability.”
In response to the news, New-market Mayor Tony Van Bynen quipped that residents should do a “happy dance”.
What he should have said is “hopeful dance”.
While it appears Metrolinx is fairly confident on the demand and feasibility for a station at Mulock, there’s no guarantee of 15-minute service throughout the day as is planned between Toronto’s Union Station and the Aurora GO Station. Newmarket Regional Councillor John Taylor is advocating 15-minute service to his community, as have others,
but during the June 24 announce-ment of the station, Transporta-tion Minister Steven Del Duca wasn’t making any promises.
“We’re not saying no, we’re not saying yes. It still requires addi-tional analysis,” he said.
Well, that really nailed it down.Del Duca was also unable to
provide a cost for the stations or even a date for when they will be built, adding the information will become public in the weeks to come.
Here’s hoping the Mulock sta-tion will be built sooner rather than later and that 15-minute service will be part of the pack-age.
Express rail needed to come to northern York Region, not to mention other parts of the GTA, years ago and we can ill afford to wait another 10 years to get moving. With the populations of Newmarket, Aurora and, espe-cially, East Gwillimbury expected to rise considerably over the next 15 years, we need to ensure there is an adequate public transit net-work in place to make it a truly viable alternative to commuting by car, lest we invite the reality of (even more) unbearable conges-tion.
The time for action isn’t now; the time for action was a decade ago. Let’s not wait any longer and put this project, and others like it, on the fast track.

Long lineup brings out the best in all of us
Marney Beck
ave you lined up lately for a new green and white health card or your licence renewal sticker?
I have, and it was an inter-esting, frustrating yet uplifting experience.
I received an official provincial govern-ment notice in the mail a few weeks ago stating that I had exactly 30 days to convert my old red-and-white health card to the new photo ID card.
I had been hoping to avoid such an invi-tation/order, as I loved the fact that the card never expired and it had worked perfectly well for decades — providing me health care access whenever I needed it.
However, in addition to the serious-sounding language used in the Ministry of Health letter, the truth is my beloved card was dog-eared, ripped and held together with tape.
I had to admit it was nearing the end of its plastic lifespan and the new green and white card seemed a safer option.
So, I dutifully gathered the required documentation to bring to my local Service Ontario office.
‘Bring a water bottle,
you’ll be standing a long time.’
I was dreading the task, as the provincial office at Bernard on Yonge Street in Rich-mond Hill always has long lineups. Recently, it had provoked a series of letters to the editor from residents expressing outrage at the lengthy lines, cramped space and over-whelmed staff.
“Bring a water bottle, you’ll be standing a long time,” said one friend. “Just don’t even apply for the green card, keep using your red and white card,” advised someone else, who shall remain nameless.
“Go to the one on Bloomington Road in Aurora,” advised a reader, “there’s lots of room inside; staff are friendly and polite, too!”
Armed with patience and all my needed documents, I arrived at the Richmond Hill Bernard office and was almost pleased to be the first client standing outside the door. In the past, I have often joined a long line of between 10 and 20 people when I need to renew my licence, so to get right up to the door was a bonus.
Within about five minutes, a long line
of about a dozen people formed outside behind me on the hot, humid, sunny day. One was an elderly man with a cane.
Ahead of me in the line inside the air-conditioned offices were parents with squirming children, people filling out forms at a counter and a woman in long robes covering her from head to toe seated in one of only three chairs, with a son or relative standing in line.
The languages spoken represented a mini United Nations, but everyone was polite and friendly. The Asian couple right behind me was a little too friendly, con-stantly giggling at private jokes and bump-ing into me — and apologizing — as they looked at their devices.
As I inched my way to the front of the line, I became aware that one man with a strong Russian accent was giving the elder-ly man with the cane his spot in the line.
Then came an active discussion and much gesturing with the woman seated on the chair, trying to give up her chair to the older man.
Finally, a staff person at one of the counters helpfully waved over the elderly gentleman and said loudly, so all of us could hear, something to the effect that he would be served without waiting in line.
Not a soul objected.How wonderfully Canadian it all was.
Despite the fact the government office was overwhelmed, staff and residents main-tained their composure and showed kind-ness and deference to each other.
After exactly one hour wait, it was my turn and my new health card is now “in the mail” — if we don’t have a postal strike.

t’s fascinating to imagine what King City will look like in about five or 10 years.
It certainly won’t be to everyone’s taste, but growth is coming to King Township’s largest vil-lage.
There will be plenty of residential development occurring in the quadrant north of King Road, south of 15th Sideroad between Keele and Dufferin streets. Several thousand homes will be built, greatly expand-ing the population of the village — and township.
To help serve King City and no doubt those new homeowners moving in during the next decade, the township will be building a new recreation complex on a 25-acre site at Dufferin and 15th Sideroad. It recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Seneca King College to lease a 60-acre section of land on the 500-acre campus.
There are also plans to expand the campus of Sen-eca King College, offering more opportunities for local post-secondary students who choose to further their education close to home.
There is the ongoing development of the business park at Dufferin and King Road, with a Coppa’s super-market scheduled to open in the next few months, a significant coup for King City.
And let’s not forget one of the biggest announce-ments the township has ever seen – the decision by Magna International to locate its worldwide corporate head office in King City. While it still has not broken ground, the original plan was for the 625-employee complex at Jane Street and King Road to be construct-ed and open by the end of 2017.
Finally, the township itself will have new digs of its own for staff to work from and residents to visit and make delegations to. Following an aggressive sched-ule, the new King City Township Hall will be opening on the site of the old Holy Name Elementary School at 2585 King Road by the end of 2017.
There is plenty to look forward to as King City evolves.

Long known for its prominence among the horse-loving community, King Town-ship has decided to keep a good thing going by extending its deal with Head-waters of Horse Tourist Association for a further three years.
The cost of the partnership is $6,000 per year for the township, found within the township’s economic development budget.
As part of the agreement, King Town-ship will get:
• Ongoing promotion of King Township as a part of the geographic region known as Headwaters Horse Country. In addition to King, it includes Dufferin County, Erin and Caledon.
• Ongoing promotion of all King Town-ship equine businesses within the con-text of Headwaters Horse Country. This includes promotion via social media and inclusion on the web platform.
• Ongoing inclusion in Headwaters Parade of Horses statue promotional efforts.
• Continued inclusion of King Town-ship equine businesses in annual Head-waters stable tour.
King Township Councillor Linda Pabst,
long a supporter of the equine community, said it’s important the township belongs to the Headwaters Tourism Association.
“We want to promote the equine com-munity in King Township. We feel we’re the horse capital of Ontario along with all the Hills of Headwaters area. We have a lot of great equestrians in all areas, but we want to help promote it together with our stable tours and various events that we take part in,” Pabst said in a phone interview.
The association the township has enjoyed with the Headwaters Tourism Association over the past three years has benefited King, she added.
“I think it has made a lot of people much more aware of the different eques-trian facilities that we have. We have some of the top Queen’s Plate winners. We have some very amazing equestrian facilities in dressage, racing and hunter-jumper. We have Olympians, world class dressage rid-ers,” Pabst said.
Councillor Debbie Schaefer echoed her colleague’s enthusiasm for the continue association with Headwaters.
“The passion for all things equestrian runs in King’s blood. I know that both Councillor Pabst and Jamie Smyth as our economic development officer have worked hard to build the relationship and to leverage it,” Schaefer said in an email.

Throughout July, our joint servic-es with Schomberg United will be at St. Mary Magdalene Church, 161 Church St., Schomberg at 9:30 am.
During the next two weeks, we will have a husband and wife ministerial team. Marjorie Knill will give a message July 10; Keith Knill will give a message July 17 and Marjorie will do the Sacrament of Baptism.
Messy Church continues throughout the summer on the second Tuesday of the month — July 12th, 5 to 7pm. This is the third and final of the Bible landscapes series.
All the activities will be related to seasides in the Bible… seashells, fish mosaics, making paper boats and testing them in a baby bath, making a picture using glue and “sand” made from salt and red poster paint (washable).
Messy Church is not a “United Church” program. It is non-denominational. Many different churches are using the ideas that are suggested in the Messy Church books, which were written in England, so some of the references have to be adjusted for Canadians. Come and bring your child or grandchild. You will have fun, faith, and food, all at no charge. For more info, contact me at 905-859-0761.
On Sunday July 24th, there will be a con-gregational picnic at Jack and Kim Camp-bell’s, on the 18th Sideroad. Phone 905-939-2992 for the exact directions. We will gather at 11 a.m., sing songs, have a short message and lunch at 11:30 a.m. Bring a salad or dessert. The barbecue and drinks will be supplied. There are walks that you can take and/or have a swim in the pool.
On Sunday July 31, the joint service is at the Kitchen Breedon Manor in Schomberg at 9:30 am. Sandra Kirby of King City will be leading a musical service with no sermon.
The Schomberg Youth Club needs to have a new leader for September. If you are inter-

ested in this paid position, call Jack Camp-bell at 905-939-2992. The Club has closed for the summer, but will start again in Sep-tember every Friday evening, 7 to 9 p.m., at Schomberg Public School.
The club thanks Julien Cristante who led the 2015-2016 program.

Dave Godfrey took great pride in ‘protecting the flock’By Jeremy Grimaldi [email protected]
There’s a saying among police officers, suggest-ing there are three different types of people in the world — sheep, wolves and sheepdogs.
Sheep are the trusting sort, wolves the predators who prey on others and sheepdogs help protect the flock.
Of the three, former Det.-Sgt. Dave Godfrey was a sheepdog through-and-through, according to his friend, Staff-Sgt. Peter Button.
“Dave was a strong charismatic man. He spent his life taking care of and helping others,” he said, refer-ring to his old friend from the Toronto police.
Godfrey died in April after suffering a massive heart attack in the middle of the night at his Keswick home.
He had been enduring back pain for months prior to that night, the doctors not realizing that three out of his four heart arteries had become blocked.
Thankfully for his entire family, only a few months previous, he experienced what his wife, Nancy, would call one of the proudest moments of his 62 years — the moment he walked his daughter down the aisle.
It was that day he gave Nicole away to her hus-
band and his new son-in-law, Tyler McAuley.“He was so proud to be her father,” Nancy
recalled, becoming chocked up as she reminisced about the man she loved for so long. “He’s left a huge hole in our lives.”
Thirty-three years earlier, the pair met in Toronto. They started dating and got married a few short months later.
Two years after that, their only child, Nicole, was born.
It was on the opening day of bass fishing season
that they’d welcome their bundle of joy, who would revel in her father’s attention, eventually becoming a lawyer.
“When I was young, my dad was my first teacher,” she said. “I remember learning how to add and sub-tract and tell time with him before it was taught in school. My dad taught me how to swim, skate, ride a bike, drive a car and a boat and, most importantly, how to fish, shoot a shotgun and a rifle and use a bow and arrow.”
Nicole recalled following years when she would accompany her dad as his new bass fishing sidekick in and around her birthday.
He didn’t only spend his time teaching his daugh-ter, but many others around him, acting as a firearms instructor with the Toronto Police College, where he helped shift the police force from the old .38 calibre revolver to the modern semi-automatic pistol and, eventually, work with Button.
The pair would develop a long and cherished relationship, that saw Button and Godfrey spend their free time together, fishing, skeet shooting, eating porterhouse steaks and even skinny dipping on New Year’s in freezing Lake Simcoe, near Godfrey’s home.
“We were enjoying an adult beverage in the (hot) tub when, all of a sudden, Dave yelled, ‘It’s time boys’,” he said, before the three ran down to the lake
with the moon shining off their bare backsides. “After I got over my initial surprise, it occurred to
me that maybe there was something to what people said about folks who live in Keswick,” he added.
He recounted stories about just how rare Godfrey used to enjoy his steaks and also reminisced about the time he and Godfrey went fishing with former York Regional Police chief Julian Fantino, with God-frey wryly telling him he’d “fish” his cellphone out of the water when the chief threatened to throw it into the lake should he receive “one more call”.
But most of all, Godfrey was a family man, Button said, remarking how proud he was of his wife and daughter.
“He was very proud of them both — I know because he told me so,” he said.
Nicole might have said it best when she recount-ed how she dealt with the heartache left where her “daddy” used to stand.
“My dad was the strongest person I know and what he would want most is for us all to take a deep breath, have a drink, plan our next step and Git’R’Done,” the lawyer said. “And, so, we will, and we will take all that he taught us and the amazing impression he made on all of our lives with us. And we will all be better and stronger people for having had him in our lives.”
