Heroic actions are being credited for saving the life of an 11-year-old Jackson’s Point girl after a freak playground accident in Sutton last week.

Grade 5 student Amie Evans thanked one of her best friends, Jamee Paterson, principal Tim Gervais, emergency medical per-sonnel and a team of nurses and doctors that helped her after a school yard mishap became an emergency situation at Black River Public School May 28.

“I haven’t exhaled yet,” said her worried, but thankful and grateful father, Peter Evans, of the

chain of events that ended with emergency surgery for his young daughter.

The pencil pierced her

carotid artery — an

injury that could have

been fatal within two to

three minutes

Like many 11-year-old girls, Amie was spinning during recess May 28, trying to make herself dizzy, when she tripped and fell.

But the fluke misstep turned

into a parent’s worst nightmare when Amie fell on to a pencil she was holding and was stabbed through the neck.

The pencil pierced her carot-id artery — an injury that could have been fatal within two to three minutes if not for the quick actions and calm reactions of the staff and students closest to Amie.

“The pencil went through one side and out the other of the artery and remained lodged in her throat,” said Mr. Evans, who added nurses and doctors at both Southlake Regional Health

A trashed home and a bad hang-over are the usual consequences in your standard teen revelry flick, but York Regional Police are advising a rising trend in out-of-control teen parties in Georgina could see parents and their teenage children paying a price.

You may think your teenager is simply sleeping over at a friend’s house, and you may be right, but at least some of Georgina’s teens are hanging out at a recent rash of mas-sive house parties where alcohol plays a huge role, according to York Regional Police.

For more information about Lyme disease or submitting a tick for identification,call York Region Health Connection at 1-800-361-5653, TTY 1-866-252-9933 orvisitwww.york.ca

What is Lyme disease?Lymedisease is an illness caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteriathat is spread through the bite of an infected blacklegged tick(deer tick). Lyme disease does not spread from human to human.

What are the symptoms?A circular rash referred to as a “bull’s-eye” rash could be one ofthe earliest symptoms of an infection. If you develop a “bull’s-eye”rash, fever, chills or extreme fatigue or feel like you have the flu,see your health care provider. Be sure to tell them if you have beencamping, fishing or have been active outdoors. If left untreated, itcould lead to more serious symptoms affecting the central nervoussystem, brain or even the heart.

Treating Lyme diseaseLyme disease can be treated with several antibiotics. Gettingtreatment in the early stages of the disease is critical for fullrecovery. Lyme disease can develop into chronic illness that canbe difficult to treat if it is not recognized in the early stages.

What are ticks?Ticks are small bugs, the size of a sesameseed, which feed off the blood of animals andhumans. They can be found on tall grasses andbushes and can attach themselves to peopleor animals. Ticks do not fly and move quiteslowly. Most tick bites are painless. Ticks feed

slowly and will attach themselves for 24 to 72 hours. They are mostlikely to spread infection after being attached for 24 hours or more.Not all ticks are infected with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria,therefore, not all tick bites will spread Lyme disease.

Where infected ticks are found inOntarioIn Ontario, blacklegged ticks are more commonly found in areasalong the north shores of Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and theSt. Lawrence River.

Locations with established blacklegged tick populations infectedwith the Lyme disease agent, include: Long Point ProvincialPark, Turkey Point Provincial Park, Rondeau Provincial Park,Point Pelee National Park, Prince Edward Point National WildlifeArea, Wainfleet Bog Conservation Area and in the St. LawrenceIslands National Park area.

While the risk is low, it is possible to be infected with Lyme diseasefrom the bite of an infected blacklegged tick, almost anywherein Ontario.

Protect yourself and your familyIt is important to protect yourself each time you are in an areawhere infected ticks have been found.When traveling to areaswith infected ticks, follow these simple tips to protect yourself:

� Wear long pants and long sleeved tops that are light colouredto help spot ticks

� Wear closed footwear and tuck your pants into your socks

� Use an insect repellent containing “DEET”and apply accordingto manufacturer’s directions

� Search your body for ticks

� Pay special attention to the groin, scalp, underarm areas and back

� Remove attached ticks from your body as quickly as possible

Removing a tick� Remove it by grasping the tick with a set of tweezers as close

to the skin and pull it straight out, gently but firmly

� Do not squeeze the tick as this may cause the infection to beintroduced into your body

� Do not put anything on the tick or try to burn it off

� Disinfect the infected area with rubbing alcohol

� Place the tick in a moistened paper towel and place in a screwtop container such as a plastic pill bottle

� Store the container in a refrigerator or freezer until the tick canbe submitted to your local health unit for testing

SPORTS & LEISURE: Family Day most profitable, bringing in $8K

ROC EXPENSES OUTSTRIP REVENUES 4 TO 1: REPORTBY HEIDI [email protected]

Preliminary numbers for the ROC’s first-ever winter session boiled down to a 50-day season, $72,000 in revenue and $294,000 in operating costs, according to a financial summary tabled at coun-cil May 28.

February’s Family Day repre-sented the ROC’s single-most prof-itable day, bringing in $8,000.

The high-flying tube and ter-rian park raked in $42,000 in ticket sales from January to March, with $30,000 coming from chalet con-cessions.

Slow traffic from Wednesdays to Fridays started to pick up in Febru-ary, while ticket revenue averaged $3,000 per day on weekends when weather conditions were favour-able, according to town statistics.

The ROC’s operating costs were four times its revenues, coming in at $294,000, according to the sum-mary.

Staff salaries and wages account-ed for $192,000, or 65 per cent, of the expenses incurred, followed by operating expenses of $72,000 and utility bills for gas and hydro in the amount of $30,000.

A reduction in scheduled staff was made to reflect the minimum

level required to operate safely and efficiently based on attendance and facility usage, the report states, with further reductions made on a per shift basis during periods when ticket sales were slow due to low participation or inclement weather.

Councillor Phil Craig

wants projections for next

winter and asked if a

more comprehensive

forecast could be derived

Well aware the facility was slow to open and experienced a short-ened winter operating season due to weather conditions, Ward 2 Councillor Phil Craig still wanted to see projections for next winter and asked if a more comprehen-sive forecast could be derived from average weekend revenues multi-plied by a full operating season to provide council a “better feel for what we are looking at” and what the town could expect in terms of next year’s projected revenue.

CAO Winanne Grant said the summary would be used as the

basis for projections that would be provided to council at a future date and include five-year rolling averages, as well as management and marketing plans being put in place.

“That report is still in the devel-opment stages and we will bring council a business plan for the property moving forward,” she said, adding staff provided the prelimi-nary financial summary to address public interest, as well as respect accountability and transparency.

She also cautioned against using the numbers to tell the full story of the ROC’s first winter season, which did not include peak generating revenue periods such as Christmas and March breaks.

The numbers are “reflective of a part of a whole operating season,” she said, adding “capital construc-tion and commissioning of equip-ment was a priority taking staff time and staff training” in a very short season from Jan. 6 to March 12.

The ROC tube and terrian park raked in $42,000 in ticket sales from January to March - its first shortened winter season.

School fundraisers not created equally• What We Mean By Fundraising in this Metroland special report •

TORSTAR NEWS STAFF/TANNIS TOOHEY

Playground equipment is a popular fundraising goal for provincial schools. Others include computers and field trips.

By Kristen Calis, JessiCa Cunha and rosie-ann Grover

Metroland Staff

In an affluent neighbour-hood in the nation’s capital, a school the prime minis-ter’s children once attended

is flush with cash. The money comes from serious fundraising that brings in $60,000 just in pizza lunches and a well-attended book fair.

Rockcliffe Park Public School — a kindergarten to Grade 6 school with a large proportion of children from area embassies — does not disclose the total it brings in through fundraising by its heav-ily involved parents, students and teachers. But school council minutes show it had more than enough to spend $12,000 on hip-hop and drumming sessions for the arts program, a cricket skills tune-up and new equipment for the gym. Funds from the book fair covered the $5,000 for this year’s author workshop. It brings writ-ers such as Alphabeasts sensation Wallace Edwards, a Governor Gen-eral’s Award winner, to the school for — as the website puts it — “the extraordinary experience to have the opportunity to converse with an author of a book you have just read and loved!”

Five kilometres away, at Queen Mary Street Public School, cel-ebrated author visits just don’t happen. This school, where the majority of students are from homes where English is a second language, is lucky if it raises $500 in a year, says Chris Ellis, who sits on four Ottawa school councils.

Any fundraising proceeds that do come in go to the deficit-ridden milk program or subsidize field trips for families struggling on an average parent income of $29,000, compared with $155,000 at Rockcliffe Park (figures from the Fraser Institute). An Arabic and Somali-speaking multicultural liai-son officer comes to Queen Mary twice a week.

“Most of the schools that I’m directly involved with are schools that all struggle to raise funds,” Mr. Ellis said. “They’re dealing with communities that don’t have the capacity to raise funds, which is the irony of it; the schools that are most challenged — and you could arguably say have the great-est need for additional resources

— are the very schools that find it hard to raise funds.”

Similar disparities exist across Ontario, where the top 10 per cent of fundraising schools bring in the same amount of money as the bottom 75 per cent combined, according to People for Educa-tion’s 2012 report on Ontario’s publicly funded schools.

“You can see in that way how big the gap is,” said Annie Kidder, executive director of the parent-led organization. Society, not just parents, needs to be concerned with the gap.

“It’s the next generation of society that’s being educated,” she said. “It will have an impact on everybody.”

It means that schools with the ability to raise large sums can significantly enrich their students’ education with high-tech learning aids such as laptops and SMART Boards. But in many schools, fundraising isn’t just for the frills. It’s for classroom basics such as air conditioning and books or break-fast programs.

A survey of 28 school boards turned up fundraising gaps as large as $500,000 between schools in the same board. It also underscored how firmly money from bake sales, car washes and other fundraising has become

entrenched in the education sys-tem.

Concern is growing about the overuse of fundraising — and the disparities it creates — at a time when public money is tightening under the McGuinty government’s austerity drive. And despite the province’s introduction last month of the first fundraising guidelines, no formal rules, in the form of province-wide regulations, to gov-ern the vast amounts of money collected.

How much money do Ontario schools fundraise? Many boards don’t want to say. Metroland surveyed 28 English public and Catholic school boards and found more than half were reluctant to provide financial information.

Fundraising is a sensitive issue, especially when disclo-sure of inequities is possible. In Waterloo, a public school board representative declined to pro-vide a breakdown of funds raised, saying it would allow the public to see disparities. In Hamilton’s public board, teachers and princi-pals were given scripts on how to respond to Metroland reporters.

Only 11 of the 28 school boards surveyed provided their fundrais-ing total. Fundraising in those boards pumped $26 million into their 788 schools. The remaining

17 boards provided only a broad figure that includes fundraising, but is mixed in with other revenue.

In boards that provided school-by-school breakdowns, there are significant gaps in money raised.

In York, more than $125,000 separates two elementary schools within the same board. Wood-bridge’s St. Clare Catholic School brought in $131,000. In a less afflu-ent area in Markham, St. Francis Xavier Catholic Elementary School raised just $4,000.

Critics, school associations and parents say the need to fundraise is the result of inadequate funding, making it necessary for schools to bulk up on private dollars, some-times even for the basics.

“Fundraising is so political. It’s basically a fallout. It’s a symptom of a bigger issue in public educa-tion,” said Catherine Fife, presi-dent of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association, which has been calling for a funding model review for a number of years.

Ontario increased education funding to $20.3 billion in the 2010-11 school year, an increase of $6.5 billion — or 45 per cent — since 2003, excluding capital pro-grams, Education Minister Laurel Broten said.

“Fundraising proceeds should only be used to complement dol-

lars of public investment to the schools and to the education sys-tem,” she said.

“The Ministry of Education funds directly many programs and investments where we seek to ensure we have an equitable education system; our results are demonstrating that.”

Students attending schools with the ability to fundraise large amounts will likely have better music and art classes, more com-puters and school trips, NDP edu-cation critic Peter Tabuns said.

“You’ll see a richer educa-tional experience for the children, and for the schools that have no money, things will be tighter,” Mr. Tabuns said.

“They will have less access to computers and textbooks, what we see as integral or important parts of a good, solid education.”

Fundraising inequities have been building for more than 20 years, said Annie Kidder of People for Education.

“It’s really important to remem-ber that kind of the fundamental premise of public education is to crassly provide a level playing field for kids or to overcome intergener-ational cycles of poverty,” she said.

“All children should have a fairly equitable chance for success and if you start to entrench fund-raising as a core component of the funding for education, the danger is that you actually increase the inequity rather than narrow it.”

More opportunities come with the requirement for more money. And some schools don’t want to share.

Bayview Hill Elementary School council in York Region, fearful of an initiative forcing them to share the wealth, discussed a strategy at a school council meet-ing Nov. 28.

The minutes posted on their website state, “We have an open-ing balance of $142,000 from last year and we must use this money before the province moves to leveling the playing field and dis-tributes the money amongst other schools.”

School council co-chairperson Wendy Steinberg credits the 800 students, dedicated parent volun-teers and successful weekly pizza lunches for the school’s successful fundraising numbers.

“We’re all for inclusivity and diversity,” she said, “but we worked hard for that money.”

Ms Steinberg feels the money should stay within the Bayview Hill community in York Region where the average parent income at the school is $117,800.

In less affluent pockets of the province, families just don’t have the money to rally around expen-sive fundraising projects.

Woodbine signs incorrectly posted

Open letter to municipal politicians, media and York Regional Police.

I have a serious issue in regards to incorrect speed limit signs that existed on Woodbine Avenue in Georgina between Ravenshoe Road and Glenwoods Avenue for pos-sibly longer than a year.

Although they have now been “quietly” replaced, I am concerned about the number of improper tickets that have been issued on this stretch of the highway.

As some of you listed in this e-mail will know, at the York Region transportation service committee meet-ing April 4, speed limit revi-sions on regional roads were addressed (www.york.ca/Regional+Government/Agendas+Minutes+and+Reports/_2012/TSC+rpt+4.htm.

In this document, it states the speed limit on Wood-bine between Ravenshoe and Glenwoods is to remain at 80 km/h, however, the speed limit in this location was post-

ed as 60 km/h for quite some time, even after construction was formally wrapped up and construction speed limit signs were removed.

Just to make sure this wasn’t one simple document error, I located the original bylaw passed in 2002 and this zone has always been 80 km/h since then.

A final piece of support-ing evidence in addition to the 2002 bylaw and the last trans-portation service committee report is that this “remaining at 80 km/h statement” is also posted online on the regional website at this location: http://www.york.ca/Departments/Transportation+Services/Traffic+and+Technology/pdf+speed+limit+revisions+woodbine_georgina.htm

This section of Woodbine was undergoing lane widen-ing and, during this time, the speed limit was changed to a construction speed limit of 60 km/h and signed properly with orange signs.

Unfortunately, when the construction finished, perma-nent speed limit signs were erected that showed an incor-rect speed of 60 km/h.

I am concerned York Regional Police have, in their opinion, rightfully been issu-ing speeding tickets in this section and treating it as 60 km/h, which is, indeed, the posted speed.

Unbeknownst to police at the time, all of these tickets for those going less than 81 km/h should never have been issued and tickets for those going 81 km/h or above, should be amended appropriately.

I contacted regional trans-portation more than a month ago regarding these incorrect signs and never received a response.

I look forward to your response as to how the region will be dealing with my “speed-ing” ticket (just a $40 ticket for going 70 km/h in a “60 km/h zone”) and the countless other improperly issued tickets as this zone was monitored very closely by York Regional Police for some time.

I would be really concerned if someone had their licence suspended for going 110 km/h in this “60” zone.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

chool fundraising.A concept that started

out in the early 1990s to help schools with play-ground and band equip-

ment and arts supplies has spi-ralled into a multi-million-dollar cash boon that hugely props up our public education funding system.

In our three-part Metroland investigative report, entitled Fundraising Fever, we discov-ered some Ontario children, depending on where they live and how much money their par-ents make, enjoy very different educational experiences.

School fundraising efforts, however noble and successful, have become an out-of-control and unfair Ontariowide two-tier network that pits rich against poor and allows more affluent communities to plump their children’s school experience with frills and trips while others do without.

Parent councils, as our report proves, can be a powerhouse of cash, depending, of course, on which side of the tracks you live.

Collectively, the problem is that the public system is depen-dent on parents’ fundraising schemes and many schools in less fortunate communities are getting the short shrift.

How to solve the issue, how-ever, is far more complicated.

School fundraising is a sen-sitive and protective issue for school boards — many of which try hard to keep their profits from the public. That’s because there’s such disparity and widening funding gaps between schools in neighbouring communities it’s almost unbelievable and proves Ontario’s public school system is anything but universal, equal and fair.

It has become a have or have-not system and warrants imme-diate attention by the Education Ministry that allowed the system to get out of control in the first place.

It’s an issue, however, that is tough to resolve because no matter how you try to balance the scales, someone comes up short.

Metroland journalists discov-ered that in affluent neighbour-hoods, schools are flush with

cash, yet, schools a few kilome-tres away are lucky to raise a few hundred dollars in a year.

Should wealthier communi-ties be able to lavish their chil-dren’s schools with bells and whistles not available to children of lesser means?

Should a public system, which touts equal opportunity for all students, allow adults with higher incomes to compensate for a lack of provincial money if others aren’t getting those same privileges?

Some critics say all fundrais-ing should be banned across the province, forcing the Ministry to rethink how it funds schools on a more even keel.

Critics of that notion, how-ever, say it isn’t fair to punish those who can afford the finer things in life.

Others would suggest pool-ing all fundraising dollars that would then be evenly distrib-uted by the province across the board to all schools.

And still others would suggest wealthier families should look into private education options and free up public funds for those who need it most.

Concern, too, is growing about the overuse of fundraising and, despite the province’s intro-duction last month of its first fundraising guidelines, there are no formal rules or regulations to govern the vast amounts of money collected.

It’s time to take that next step and enact formal ruling.

“Fundraising is so political. It’s basically a fallout. It’s a symp-tom of a bigger issue in pub-lic education,” said Catherine Fife, president of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Associa-tion, which has been calling for a funding model review for a number of years.

Agreed.While finding the answer will

be no easy feat, it’s clear some-thing needs to be done before our public system becomes completely eroded.

Let’s leave it up to our highly paid education experts to figure it out — and fast.

HEALTH CARE: Future doctors ROMP into Georgina


Four medical students from the University of Toronto are getting to know Georgina dur-ing Rural Medicine Week June 4 to 8.

Taking its cue from other municipalities that have used the provincial program as a successful recruiting tool, the Georgina Com-munity Health Care Committee hopes to achieve similar success by showcasing Geor-gina as a wonderful place to “Practice Where You Play”.

The Rural Ontario Medical Program (ROMP), which provides communities like Georgina an opportunity to showcase their towns to first-year medical students, is accu-rately acronymed, since the pre-med stu-dents are indeed treated to an exciting romp through town with various events such as sail-ing Lake Simcoe with Sail Georgina, a plane ride for an aerial view of town, a boat cruise out of Quinn’s Marina in Pefferlaw, dinner at the Briars and hob-knobbing with commu-nity leaders at the Mayor’s barbecue tonight at the ROC at 5 p.m.

It’s not all fun and games, however, since students Angela Liu, Wallace Wee, Michelle Yee and Zhongyu Anna Liu will also be work-ing with doctors, nurse practitioners and other local health professionals during their one-week stay.

During students third year of study, they are required to do a rural medical elective and the committee hopes showing these young people what Georgina has to offer will entice

them back for good.Physician recruitment is a significant prob-

lem for our community and many others, so there is a lot of competition for both current and graduating physicians.

The fact that Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket is a designated teaching hospital may help since that would provide attractive residency possibilities.

But Georgina is an area considered “under-serviced” when it comes to doctors and the hope is rural medicine week will help combat local doctor shortages and be an effective tool to make Georgina a viable option for graduat-ing doctors when considering where to put up their shingles.

Further population growth and increased strain on the health care system presents sig-nificant challenges for Georgina to meet not only its current, but also future needs.

What is clear, however, is that since the program was launched five years ago by the committee in conjunction with the town, offering a little fun in the sun is just the pre-scription to put Georgina on the map, or at least on the radar, of first-year medical stu-dents who are choosing Georgina as one of their tour options in increasing numbers.

COUNCIL: Sutton Public School site retrofit might cost too much, staff report states

Town bought school site ‘for property itself’, mayor saysBY HEIDI [email protected]

A $14,000 feasibility study exam-ining how to transform the former Sutton Public School into a com-munity hub will have to wait until the town figures out if it will cost too much to fix the building.

Staff had recommended the hir-ing of a consultant to begin a feasi-

bility study examining future occu-pancy of the school, however, that decision was deferred over concerns regarding costs to either retrofit or repair the actual building.

“If you wish to even begin to pursue anything with the property, then we need to do the feasibility study, but there is a bit of a risk that, in the end, the capital requirements

may exceed what the town can afford,” CAO Winanne Grant said in response to Mayor Rob Grossi rais-ing concerns about going through with the expense of a study before knowing the full capital funding implications of making the building useful.

Citing “issues with respect to that building because of its construc-

tion,” and the fact that the town “purchased that property for the property itself”, knowing there were issues with the building, the mayor suggested an initial review before going ahead with a full-blown study.

“Do you moth ball a certain section of the building and not use it all?” he asked fellow council members.

“I’m just concerned. Are we going to come back with a size-able contribution we are going to have to make?”

Occupation of the school, for community use, requires capital improvements be made to the property.

The intention to date has been to apply for funding to assist in the development and that fund-ing application requires a feasibil-ity plan, the report tabled Mon-day states.

The plan would also be used as an information source to guide

council making decisions about the property.

The study would cost $14,782 and provide clear direction for the rede-velopment of the former school into a community/creative hub.

But council deferred any decision regarding the study until Dan Pisani, director of operations and engineer-ing, files a report with respect to a review of the facility, its potential life cycle and costs associated with its repair.

Nine groups pitched their appeals for space in the 30,000-sq.-ft. build-ing during an information gather-ing exercise hosted by the town last October.

They included Hospice Georgina, Give A Miracle A Chance, Georgi-na Arts Centre and a coalition of church ministries represented by St. George’s/St. James Rev. Susanne McKim.

Since then, other groups have registered their interest with the town’s steering committee and the Georgina Community Food Pantry had been offered space in the former school as part of a new partnership with the town providing services in kind to the non-profit organization.

Whether the actual building will be bulldozed or repaired, however, is still up in the air.

Almost a decade ago, the build-ing was one of 10 schools identified by the York District School Board as being “prohibitive to repair”.

Centre in Newmarket and Sick Kids hospi-tal in Toronto where Amie was transferred for surgery had “never seen anything like it before”.

“There was no blood on the outside,” said Mr. Evans, who is a Toronto firefighter. “The pencil went through and plugged it.”

But he added the pencil had come within millimeters of two of Amie’s vertebrae — a situation that likely would have left his daugh-ter paralysed.

“It’s a miracle,” he said with amazing com-posure, although the obvious raw emotion of a parent’s worry, relief and pure love for their child lay just below the calm surface.

He and his wife, Laurie, are extremely grateful to the many people who helped their daughter, knowing full well the implications if the pencil had been removed or dislodged, allowing the artery to bleed out, before medi-cal help arrived.

“We thought about what could have hap-pened a lot,” he said, adding it takes mere minutes for the body to lose its volume in blood.

Amie is a competitive swimmer on

the Newmarket Stingrays club and

it turned out a teammate’s mother,

who is a nurse at Southlake, was on

duty when Amie came in.

From school principal Tim Gervais, who kept Amie calm and stable, to emergency personnel, whose response time and care at the scene was “incredible”, everyone involved did “an amazing job”, Mr. Evans said.

But he reserved special recognition for one of Amie’s best friends, 10-year-old Jamee Paterson of Jackson’s Point.

“Jamee’s actions were instrumental and paramount to Amie’s survival,” Mr. Evans said.

Crying and scared, Jamee kept her pres-ence of mind and told her friend not to pull the pencil out while she ran “as fast as she could” to get school principal Mr. Gervais.

“I am very proud of her for staying calm,” said Jamee’s mom, Jen Paterson. “I’m not sure if I could do it.”

Ms Paterson added a lot of Jamee’s fellow students are calling her a hero at school, but Jamee is just glad her friend is going to be OK.

Principal Gervais also downplayed the hero moniker.

“I don’t know about being a hero,” Mr.

Gervais said. “Anyone would have acted in that way.”

But the fact people remained calm and did not panic, especially not attempting to pull out the pencil in a well meaning, but dangerous, attempt to help, is what Mr. Evans believes kept his daughter alive in those first crucial minutes after the accident.

“As bad as it was, it went as well as it could have,” he said.

He and his wife are also extremely proud of their daughter, who acted bravely in the face of fear, uncertainty, shock and pain.

“She didn’t shed a tear throughout the whole thing,” said Mr. Evans.

That included being immobilized for hours in one position to not dislodge the pencil, two ambulance rides, and being intubated for one hour before a three-hour operation by a vas-cular surgeon to remove the pencil.

It was eight hours between the time of the accident and when Amie had surgery. It prob-ably felt like a lifetime for her parents and big brother, Taylor, 16.

‘It certainly made it easier to have

someone she already knew helping

her through it, but we were still

amazed at how strong she was.’

While her parents never left her side, Amie also met a familiar face while at Southlake.

Amie is a competitive swimmer on the Newmarket Stingrays club and it turned out a teammate’s mother, who is a nurse at South-lake, was on duty when Amie came in.

“It certainly made it easier to have some-one she already knew helping her through it, but we were still amazed at how strong she was,” said Mr. Evans, who added his daughter has been “soldiering through the pain” since returning home to Jackson’s Point from hos-pital Friday.

He added Amie is recuperating well, is in good spirits, has already started physio-therapy and is slowly coming to terms with the accident.

“She won’t be looking at any other pencils for a long while,” said Mr. Evans, only half jok-ing. “We’ll get her some crayons.”

Maybe, just maybe, he can start to exhale with his daughter home recuperating and talking softly in the background.

While Amie will not return to school for the last few weeks remaining, the family is look-ing forward to Amie’s full recovery and hope-fully a clean bill of health after a follow-up appointment with the surgeon in six weeks.

They also hope to make visits to Amie’s school and her swim club to let her friends know she is doing OK.

PEOPLE: ‘It went as well as it could have.’

Strong home sales in the 905 region drove the market in May and outpaced Toronto.

Across the GTA, 10,850 homes changed hands last month, up 11 per cent over last year. But the fast-growing 905 municipali-ties saw sales up 13 per cent while Toronto’s growth rate was less than half that.

While lower average prices are a factor, recent polling suggests Toronto’s land trans-fer tax has also prompted buyers to look outside the city, Toronto Real Estate Board president Richard Silver said.

Every Ontario resident pays a land trans-fer tax on house purchases, but the board has long stood opposed to an extra tax imposed in Toronto, generating about $300

million a year for the city.More importantly for prospective buyers

is news the long-constrained market could finally be loosening up.

New listings in May climbed to 19,177, a 20-per-cent increase over the same month last year.

If that trend continues, the rate of growth seen in housing prices should start to slow, board senior manager of marketing analysis Jason Mercer said.

As of May, the average price of a GTA house rose 6.5 per cent from May 2011 to $516,787.

POLICE: Parents could face libability issues, even if they don’t know about a party at their home: cops

Teens passing party invites through social media, police warnwithin a one-month span is “a lot” for Georgina, according to police.

Some of those calls involved large numbers of high school kids drinking alcohol and the inevitable issues that come with intoxication, such as loud obnoxious behaviour, damaging property and posing a danger to either themselves or someone else’s safety.

“We don’t want to see anyone get injured and we don’t want to see property damaged,” says Det.-Sgt. Peter Heard.

“We want parents and young people to be aware of this growing trend so that they can take steps themselves to prevent the inevitable issues that will arise if it continues.”

More than half the calls occurred in the Keswick area, with current hot spots concentrated in a zone between Woodbine Avenue and Lake Drive up to Island Grove.

Many calls are from parents coming home to an out-of-control

party with 50 or more teenagers causing all sorts of problems.

And 50 may be a conservative estimate.

Even taking into consideration a propensity for exaggeration, many Facebook postings by teens in the past few months have made refer-ences to “wild” parties with a hun-dred or more people, many under-age, mostly all drinking, according to parents with even limited access to their teen’s heavily guarded online and social lives.

Usually, code words or cryptic one-liners are used to get the word out regarding where the next bash is taking place and to keep inquisitive parents off the trail, police say.

Even with the best of intentions, some small planned parties or get-togethers can quickly take on mam-moth proportions thanks to social media.

If the date and location aren’t kept under wraps, dozens of kids can end up at a party using Twitter or Facebook posting as their “invita-

tion”.That’s an invitation for a situa-

tion that can quickly get out of con-trol, says Det.-Sgt. Heard, especially if teens have consumed alcohol or party-goers bring their own alco-hol.

Parties have always been an opportunity for underage minors to drink, but smartphones and social media have made it easier for gate-crashers to mobilize.

Teens no longer have to rely on their schools as the main conduit of communication.

“Teens are passing information through social media and texting,” says Det.-Sgt. Heard. “Parents need to be aware and monitor it.”

Teens holding parties with their parent’s consent but without their supervision can quickly have an out-of-control party on their hands, unable to control the influx of peo-ple, most of whom they don’t even know.

If police end up making a call, many times teens go spilling on

to the streets and scattering in all directions to avoid getting caught.

It is a recipe that could end up with somebody hurt and, if alcohol is involved, behaviours that lead to committing other offences.

But it also appears some parents or homeowners are either supply-ing or allowing underage kids to drink in their residences and on their property, according to Det.-Sgt. Heard.

A parent can’t give liquor to individuals who are underage just because they are inside their resi-dence. The person supplying the liquor must be the underage indi-vidual’s parent or guardian and it must be “only in a residence” or “private place” as defined under the Liquor Licence Act.

Not only can an underage per-son caught with having liquor be fined $130, but knowingly supply-ing liquor to a person under 19 years of age will come with a sum-mons to appear before a justice of the court, explains Det.-Sgt. Heard.

A fine can range from the hun-dreds to thousands of dollars, he adds.

“Parents and homeowners have to realize that they may be expos-ing themselves to liability issues if they allow persons to drink,

become intoxicated and then don’t take steps to ensure their safety,” he says.

Homeowners could face charg-es of criminal negligence in cases where someone ends up seriously hurt after leaving a party on their property.

A person under 19 years of age attempting to purchase, buying or otherwise obtaining liquor faces a $130 fine under the Liquor Licence Act.

Hooting and hollering, knock-ing over garbage cans and rowdy behaviour may seem like a good idea at the time, but they do come with a price if excessive.

Noise that is generated from a party situation, including ampli-fied music, voices, etc., is illegal at any time of the day under Geor-gina’s noise bylaw. The out-of-court fine is $155 for the homeowner.

“Some people are under the impression it is only applicable after 11 p.m., but that is not the case,” explains Det.-Sgt. Heard.

But the increase in intoxicated-related behaviour by teens wit-nessed during the past month and a potential spike in the number of police calls once school is dis-missed for summer is what has York Regional Police most concerned.

It happens quickly and usually when you least expect it – a car accident. Though noone ever wants to be in an accident, it is important that you understand your consumerrights with respect to insurance and the shop you use for auto repair.

In Ontario, all owners of automobiles are required to have insurance. Laws andregulations are administrated by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO),the government regulator of auto insurance which stipulates your consumer rights andresponsibilities. As a consumer, it is your responsibility to insure and retain proof ofinsurance at all times while driving. In the event of an accident, it is your right to choosea repair shop, a tow operator, or a vehicle rental company if necessary. Although mostinsurance companies have a list of Preferred Auto Body Repair facilities that they mayrecommend, ultimately it is your consumer right to choose which auto repair shop youprefer. In general, an insurance company can only suggest or recommend from their listof Preferred Auto Body Repair facilities if you specifically request this information.

“An insurance Preferred Auto Body Repair list is confusing for most,” said BryonTerveld, owner and operator of Ultimate Car & Truck Refinishing & Collision Centreand located in Sutton. “Though I may have a working relationship with my customers,

when it comes to an accident and dealing withinsurance, they often don’t know that they canhave their vehicle repaired at my shop and still becovered under insurance.”

Specializing in refinishingand collision repair, longtime Georgina residentBryon, along with his wifeTeresa, opened their doorsin September 2009 and havebeen successfully servicingthe community ever since.With over 20-years in thebusiness,Bryonspent14-yearsworking at dealerships. “Weoffer major to minor collisionrepairs including framestraightening and damagedvehicle storage,” said Bryon. “If you have an accident, we will take care of you withwork done right the first time, a service guarantee, and manufacturers warranty for mostparts and products.”

Ultimate Car & Truck Refinishing & Collision Centre uses the environmentallyfriendly Water Borne Paint and Painting System as well as The Rust Authority no-drip,bumper-to-bumper oil spray undercoating system which will protect and improve your

vehicle’s longevity.For information, a free

estimate or insurance quotes,call Bryon at 905-715-2652or visit at 23455 Highway 48in Sutton (east side, north ofRavenshoe Side Road).

WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD?In the past the Kingdom of God first came about in the day’s of Saul, around 1000 B.C. Saul washand picked by God to reign over His Kingdom, Israel. Saul lost the kingship because he would notfollow God’s commands. A new king was found By God to rule over Israel in the person of Davidthe son of Jesse. David was different because we are told he was a “man after God’s own heart.” Act13:22Approximately 400 years passed before the Kingdom was lost because of disobedience of David’sdecedents, the last king being Zedekiah. God promised David that his offspring would inherit God’skingdom again and this time it would be forever. David’s descendent was Jesus Christ. Mathew 1:1,Acts 13:23

Jesus Christ having been risen from the dead because there was no sin found in him now sits at the righthand of the Father in heaven waiting for “the last days” of Gentile times to expire. Isaiah 9:6&7 “The lastdays” mentioned in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 are filled with clues as to what we see happening around us whenJesus appears. This second coming of Christ is often joked about but will not be funny in any way.At thattime it will be a good thing to be a friend of Jesus. 2Thessolonians 1:7-11 Most Christians don’t realizethat heaven will be on earth with Jesus ruling in righteousness and peace form Jerusalem. The Lord’sPrayer often quoted in churches says, “The kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”What this earth needs right now is a divine righteous ruler to stop the chaos we see all over the world andthere is none other than Jesus Christ that can do it.
