Police lay 58 charges in speeding crackdown

Another traffic enforcement initiative on Jan. 28 in Bradford resulted in 58 charges being laid.

Three South Simcoe Police officers spent the day at various locations in town, enforc-ing the speed limit. A number of drivers were also cautioned for various other Highway Traffic Act infractions.

Speeding is a leading cause of traffic col-lisions and SSP will continue to aggressively target offenders in order to keep our roads safe.

Bradford teenager facing multiple charges

An 18-year-old Bradford man is facing several charges related to firearms and stolen property following a nerve-wracking scenar-io Jan. 30.

South Simcoe Police received a call around 1:15 p.m. after a group of men went to a home in the area of Barrie Street and Fletcher Street in Bradford. While there, one of the men pointed a firearm at the resident before leaving the scene in a car with the rest of the group.

Police arrived and were able to locate and arrest the suspect. Further investigation by police led to the recovery of previously stolen property as well.

SSP continue to investigate this matter to identify the other individuals involved. Any-one with information is asked to call police at 905-775-3311.

Bradford man receives licence suspension

On Feb. 1 around 4:14 p.m., South Simcoe Police stopped a car that was driving errati-cally on Holland Street East in Bradford.

A 27-year-old Bradford man was stopped and arrested after he blew over 80mgs during a roadside screening test. He was taken to the Bradford station where further breath tests were completed.

As a result of those tests, the man was released with no criminal charges, but with a seven-day driving suspension due to a previ-ous warn range suspension.

Toronto woman surrenders to South Simcoe Police

On Jan. 27, a 34-year-old Toronto woman surrendered herself to South Simcoe Police following an incident that took place last May.

The woman was previously arrested and charged with impaired driving and several other offences. She missed court in Novem-ber and a warrant was issued for her arrest.

She was held for a bail hearing and now faces an additional charge of fail to appear in court.

His plan wasn’t to stay in Bradford. One year and that was supposed to be it.But as it turns out, Reverend Dan Scott

of St. John’s Presbyterian Church just wasn’t destined to leave the growing community within Bradford West Gwillimbury.

It was in 1995 when Scott was asked to leave the Knox Presbyterian Church in Toronto to take on a one-year contract with St. John’s in Bradford. The church had slowly been losing members and was expected to close by the time his contract was up.

Much to Scott’s surprise, however, that one year turned into 20.

“I blew it,” he said with a laugh.“I extended my stay by just a few years,

I’d say.”The congregation, which dates back to

1819, is the oldest in Canada north of Rich-mond Hill. Upon learning of the church’s steady decline in attendance, Scott decided to visit and call each member — letting them know he would love to have them back at service.

And, would you believe it, they came back.

“The community was growing, so it didn’t make sense to me why we didn’t have anyone coming,” Scott said.

“After the year was up, I was called as the minster of the church and ordained near the end of February in 1996. It was a pretty big step. I became part of the family here.”

Scott says it was also a huge risk, consider-ing the budget for the church at the time was $30,000 or so a year — used to cover repairs, salaries and any other needs.

At the time, St. John’s was located in an historical building along Church Street that was in very rough shape. Eventually it came time for the congregation to come up with a plan for expanding into a new facility.

In 1999, a former member assisted Scott in taking photographs and putting together a PowerPoint presentation to show the rest of the congregation why the need for a new church should be top priority.

In 2000, the land where the current church now sits was bought. In 2004, the congrega-tion moved into a much bigger – and more modern – facility.

But aside from his involvement in the church directly, Scott has made his presence known in many other ways throughout BWG

1-year contract turns to 20 years in community

and surrounding areas.He has been involved with Friday night

dinners at the Bradford United Church and regularly maintains support for the Helping Hands Food Bank.

He and his congregation also assist in providing summer students qualified to work with children who have autism during sum-mer camp programs.

“We receive Service Canada grants to hire summer students and throughout the last four years, we’ve used them to help other churches involve autistic children in their summer camps,” he explained.

St. John’s lends students to both local and

out-of-town churches at no cost.And on top of all that, he’s a professor

at Tyndale University College and Seminary in Toronto, specializing in religious studies, world religion, anthropology and cross-cul-tural studies.

He has also been a large advocate for the upcoming seniors housing centre that will be built beside St. John’s within the next year or two and is the managing director of Save the Mothers, an international organiza-tion that equips professionals in developing countries to improve the health of mothers and babies.

While reflecting back on his 20 years in

BWG and various other accomplishments, Scott says it has been an absolute joy working and being involved in the community.

“It’s home for my three children. They’ve completed education here,” he said.

“It’s been a real community for us. I’ve coached hockey, soccer, played ball hockey. It couldn’t be a better place and the church has been gracious to me and my family.”

On Feb. 24, Scott will celebrate his 20th year of ordination at St. John’s Presbyterian Church, located along 10 Sideroad in Brad-ford. A lunch will be provided after the 11 a.m. service.

Residents are invited to attend.

Planting more native trees will help fight against ash borer

It’s clear that tree loss, due to the effects of the emerald ash borer, is going to continue to be seen and felt by residents.

As a watershed management organiza-tion, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) also feels that loss, since trees play a critical role in water management. Besides being nice to look at, they offer a host of other environmen-tal benefits. It’s why we’ve been planting trees for as long as we’ve been around!

Together with York Region and local municipalities we are currently undertak-ing research into the urban forest of York Region. The results of these studies tell us about the condition of our urban forest, report on its benefits to the local commu-nity and inform management decisions that help to maintain and improve it.

Results from past studies are clear. One of the best ways to reduce threats like invasive species is to plant more and plant a wide diversity of native species. Two of our programs help landowners do just that.

Our 2016 Tree Seedling Program is now on. Residents can buy from a selection of 14 species of native tree and shrub seed-lings at discounted rates and do the plant-ing themselves.

EDITORIAL

Be pro-active with infrastructuret was several years ago when plans for a link between Hwy. 400 and Hwy. 404, then known as the Bradford bypass, were

quietly removed from the prov-ince’s long-term agenda.

But there’s a movement to get that link back on the radar.

Georgina Mayor Margaret Quirk, East Gwillimbury Mayor Virginia Hackson, Newmarket Mayor Tony Van Bynen and Bradford Mayor Rob Keffer were joined by York regional chairman Wayne Emmerson and other nearby mayors for a meeting with Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca.

The focus of the meeting was the importance of the Hwy. 400/404 connecting link.

And there’s little doubt it is important.

Prior to 2008, the Transporta-tion Ministry released a study that called for the route’s con-struction to be completed by 2021. At that time, then-mayor and current East Gwillimbury Councillor James Young was told by the province that the bypass was a bigger priority than the now-completed Hwy. 404 exten-sion to Ravenshoe Road.

But then, the province elimi-nated the bypass from its plans.

Not everyone was upset with the move, but it certainly wasn’t well received by local politicians and supporters.

“If we don’t plan conges-tion relief, such as the Bradford bypass and if we don’t see them becoming a reality, I really don’t know what’s going to happen. Our quality of life is already suf-fering and our economic quality of life is next; we can’t just make the assumption that people will continue to cope with it,” former Newmarket-Aurora MPP Frank Klees said in 2008.

Those sentiments were echoed by then-regional chair-man Bill Fisch, who noted the fact the route isn’t even on the map, quite literally, in the prov-ince’s Places to Grow legislation is simply unacceptable.

Fast forward to 2016.Politicians are bracing for

major growth and realize now is the time to act.

By 2041, York Region’s popu-

lation is projected by the prov-ince to increase to 1.79 million, a bump of 650,000 compared to 2014 numbers. A significant amount of that growth will occur in the north.

In Simcoe County, the popula-tion is expected to rise 80,000 to 707,000 in 2031.

Waiting to come up with solu-tions after that growth is realized is simply poor planning.

As it stands, highways 400 and 404 are viable north-south routes for commuters and transport businesses alike.

But if you’re north of Hwy. 407, you know there’s no efficient way to move east or west between the two.

And it’s safe to say things will only get worse.

The link, which has been a hot topic among commuters, would reduce congestion on roadways south of Simcoe County and into York Region, while provid-ing a more efficient connection between the two.

“York Region and Simcoe County will be the size of Toronto by 2041, so we need to get the infrastructure in place to prepare for that increase in population,” Keffer said, noting he’s confident Del Duca understands the impor-tance of the link. The minister indicated he will relay the mayors’ concerns to fellow cabinet min-isters.

Of course, this isn’t something that will be addressed overnight, but the link needs to be back on the province’s Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.

It’s time we were more pro-active when it comes to planning infrastructure.

Learn from the logistics nightmare Newmarket endured when Davis Drive was expanded or from Toronto when traffic on Sheppard Avenue was affected for years when the subway extension went in.

Both of those builds were made more difficult because of the buildup surrounding the sites.

That’s not an issue of the Hwy. 400/404 link. At least not in the near future.

Take advantage of the clean slate that exists and make plans to build the link in advance of growth, not to deal with it.

A second Syrian family will be welcomed into Bradford West Gwillimbury in a matter of weeks, through sponsorship from St. John’s Presbyterian Church.

Last summer, the church inquired about the potential to bring a family from overseas into the community with guidance from the Presbyterian Church of Canada.

Soon after, a committee was formed to collect roughly $30,000 through a number of fundraising initiatives over the past couple of months.

Now, all they have left to do is waitUntil recently, the church had not received

any specific details about how many family members would be travelling to BWG and what their needs are — that is, until they were told to expect a young couple with two children.

It is estimated that the family will arrive within the next three days to three weeks, depending on how fast they can be pro-cessed.

A lease has just been signed for an apart-ment in BWG’s downtown core, which will allow the family to access things such as food, transit and other needs just steps from their door.

If you would like to make a donation, call St John’s Presbyterian Church at 905-775-7274.

Second Syrian family on way

You can give blood at Feb. 23 clinic

The Canadian Blood Services will be back in Bradford West Gwillimbury on Feb. 23 at St. John’s Presbyterian Church along 10 Sideroad.

The clinic will run from 3:30 to 7 p.m.According to territory manager Elaine St.

Pierre, 56 units of blood were collected dur-ing the last clinic at St. John’s Presbyterian Church on Dec. 29, helping the organization reach 96 per cent of its collection goal.

“To a hospital patient and their family, this was an incredible gift. The holidays are the time of year where collecting blood can be challenging and your support contributed to a very successful month overall across the region,” St. Pierre said.

This year, 100,000 new blood donors will be needed to meet patient needs, equating to more than 1,900 new donors every week across Canada.

Interested donors for the next clinic can register at www.blood.ca.

Transit Project Assessment ProcessGO Rail Network Electrification – Public Meetings

Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is helping to transform the way the region moves by building a seamless, convenient andintegrated transit network across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).

As part of this project, we are expanding GO Transit to enable 15-minute service on most corridors with electrified trains, which will enablefaster and more frequent service. Together, these infrastructure improvements will change how people move around Toronto and the regionwith four times the current number of GO train trips, service on evenings and weekends, and twice the number of trips during peak periods.

Building on the GO Electrification Study completed in 2010,which looked at the electrification of the GO Transit rail systemnetwork, Metrolinx is currently undertaking environmental studiesunder the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP), inaccordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08, to examine theconversion of several rail corridors from a diesel to anelectric-based system. The project will include design andimplementation of a traction power supply system (i.e. tractionpower substations and high voltage connections to Hydro One’sexisting grid), as well as power distribution components (i.e.electrical power distribution facilities) located in the vicinity ofthe rail corridors.

York Region’s Adventure Headquarters

By Katherine [email protected]

A popular local burger joint continues to expand its patty turf.

Along with its Barrie and Orillia loca-tions, Kenzington Burger Bar is adding a new address in the heart of Bradford’s downtown core.

“We just opened in Orillia in June of 2015, and by mid-February, we’ll be serving up gourmet burgers in Bradford,” said owner and founder Brandon Clark.

“Our crazy big following has made it all possible.”

Established on Dunlop Street in down-town Barrie in 2007, Kenzington Burger Bar has become a popular destination for gour-met burger lovers. Kenzington features more than 22 delicious burger combinations.

“Our goal is to serve up some of the most creative, mouthwatering burgers this side of Toronto,” said the 33-year-old entrepreneur.

And with three locations, it appears burger lovers have a soft spot for Kenzington.

“Our diners are constantly posting photos of our burgers and specialty drinks on social media. It’s pretty cool.”

From the bar, Kenzington’s Caesar slider is very popular because it’s topped with a mini burger.

In March 2015, the Barrie location was featured on the Food Network’s You Gotta Eat Here. “That was an amazing experience,” admits Clark with a smile.

Recipe by Kenzington Burger Bar Photo by Ellie Kistemaker

1 bottle of beer, pick your favourite type

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 Vidalia onion

Vegetable oil for frying

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

Pinch cayenne

PREPARATION: In medium bowl, mix together beer, flour and cornstarch. Keep cold.

Cut into rings. Place rings into batter, coating should cover well. Fry in oil at 350F for two to three minutes or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne.

Kenzington Burger Bar expands into downtown core

MORE INFORMATIONq WANT MORE? Kenzington Burger Bar

locations are 40 Dunlop St. E., Barrie, 85 Mississauga St. E., Orillia, and 4 Holland St. W., Bradford.For more information, visit www.kenzington.ca.

“It’s been a crazy ride since then.” All Kenzington Burger Bar locations fea-

ture a four-step ordering process, which allows you to customize your meal. First, you pick your topping combination, then your bun – brioche, pretzel, gluten-free, tortilla wrap or grilled cheese – and then your pro-tein which includes KBB beef, grilled chick-en, fried chicken, ground turkey or black

bean and quinoa veggie. After that, you pick your side of either Yukon fries, salad, garlic parmesan fries, sweet potato fries or onion rings.

“KBB beef is our signature burger. It’s a special custom blend and like everything on our menu, it’s made in house,” explains Clark.

Along with burgers, Kenzington Burger Bar is also known for its live music.

“We (present) live music every night after 10 p.m. and on the weekends in the after-noons,” Clark explains. He anticipates using local Bradford talent at the new location, too – something he does at both the Barrie and Orillia locations.

The local restaurateur says he’s always been passionate about burgers and got in on the current burger craze on the ground level.

“It’s the most versatile platform for food because you can customize every aspect of it. With burgers, people can always find some-thing they like.”

Their newest venture here in Bradford is scheduled to open by the end of February, considering all final details go as planned. The restaurant has employed 44 people and will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

As for future locations? Clark says a small-er, seasonal location will be put on the Barrie waterfront.

By AmAndA [email protected]

or Pete Rylott, life was about how you saw the light.

He was always sur-rounded by light – sun-

light, black lights and Christmas lights.

“He always lit the way with a path and some flowers,” said Rylott’s long-time friend Kimberly Tower, who was with him when he died.

“He showed you a direction. Where you ended up going was your choice.”

Rylott, a former industrial painter, died earlier this year from liver disease. He was 60.

Rylott was very close with his mother, Kay.

When she died, Rylott started drinking and was eventually diag-nosed with hepatitis C. Eventually the drink took him in.

While he experimented with drugs in his teens, alcohol was never his vice, Tower said.

“I’m still so mad about it,” she said. “It’s like he wanted to join her. There was no changing his mind.”

That was part of his extreme personality, she added.

As an avid collector of any-thing Coca-Cola, his kitchen was adorned with vintage memora-bilia from floor to ceiling.

There are more than 10,000 tulips planted around his prop-

Collector, friend saw world through different light

Mount Albert resident Pete Rylott is remembered by many for his fascinations with lights, which lit up his old farmhouse.

‘He was a hippy to the fullest... No hesitation. He was always peace and love.’

Ferty.

“Everything was to the extreme,” said Tower, looking around the old barn house where the two friends spent countless hours reminiscing.

“He liked Coca-Cola. So, there’s Coca-Cola on every wall,” she said. “There is not a window here where you don’t see a garden he planted.”

Over the years, Rylott planted thousands upon thousands of tulips around the property.

He made Mount Albert his home in the late 1980s when he purchased an old farmhouse and renovated it to showcase the building’s unique wood structure.

Rylott made it a point to get everything he needed locally, from food to prescriptions, car parts to hockey cards.

“He was always buy-

ing brakes... He got his

license late in life. Maybe

he was catching up.”

He had a love of speed and lived life in the fast lane, Tower said.

“He was always buying brakes,” she said. “He got his license late in life. Maybe he was catching up.”

One of the few things kept from his childhood was his col-

lection of black light psychedelic posters, which glow under ultra-violet light emitted from black lights.

Many know him as a hippy-type, Tower said.

“He was a hippy to the fullest,”

Tower said. “No hesitation. He was always peace and love.”

Most in town knew Rylott’s house by the black light glow at night or by his trail of Christmas lights wrapped around every tree during the wintertime.

Black lights weren’t the only lights he was fascinated by.

Every night, he watched the sun-set over his eight-acre property. He even trimmed the trees on the far north side of his lot so he could have a good view of the sunset in the end.

Classifieds Lifenews.caGARRETT, Bernard Campbell

Bernie (or Ben, as he was known to his family) was born to William and Jacqueline Garrett on 29th December 1929, and died on Monday 25th January 2016. Bernie is survived by his adored and devoted wife Norma, with whom he spent more than sixty years, his youngest brother Elton (Jocelyn); the two daughters he and Norma had together, Melanie (Gordon) and Heather (Khaled); as well as by Heather and Khaled’s children, Careem and Sarah who continue to be a constant source of delight and enormous pride to their entire extended family. Ben was also predeceased by several siblings: Donald (Mary), Audrey, Alan, Sheila, and more recently, Graham (Hoda).

Although Bernie spent his fi nal years in the Toronto area so that he and Norma could be nearer Heather and her family, he remained a passionate Montrealer through and through. While his day-to-day dealings saw him based mainly in the port there, his career in shipping offered him the chance to travel the world, seeing such far fl ung places as Rotterdam, Athens, Hamburg, Halifax and Rimouski. But it was the many years he spent working in Churchill, Manitoba which stayed with him the most.

He had a lifelong love of reading, which he passed on to Melanie in particular, teaching her to read before she started school. His passion for Canada’s shared national obsession with hockey was something he always denied - unless there was a game on, in which case no one was allowed to speak in the room. The same went for his love-hate obsession with every conceivable minutiae of Quebec politics, and one of his great pleasures of 2015 was living long enough to be able to vote for yet another Trudeau.

In his fi nal weeks, Ben’s own mother was very much on his mind, and so it was particularly poignant that he died on the day Scots the world over celebrate the anniversary of their bard - and her favourite poet - Robert Burns.

A man’s a man, for a’ thatFor a’ that, an’ a’ thatTheir tinsel show an’ a’ thatThe honest man, though e’er sae poorIs king o’ men for a’ that

Bernie was cremated on Thursday, at the Forest Lawn Crematorium, 4570 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario.

In loving memory of my daughter and grandson,

Cassandra Read & Taylor GrasbyFebruary 4, 2006.

I often lay awake at night,When the world is fast asleep,And take a walk down memory lane,With tears upon my cheeks.

Those special years will not return,When you were here with me,But the love for you within my heart,Will last eternally.

You both are always on my mind.All My Love, Hugs & Kisses

Dad, Grampa & family xxxxoooo

Wayne Robert Smith In loving memory of a dear father, son, brother and uncle who passed away February 4, 2014.

We miss you so in many ways,We miss things you used to say,And when old times we do recall,It’s then we miss you most of all.Sadly missed by your loving family

BEST, MinaIn loving memory of

a dear nana who passed February 5, 1994.

Always remembered,Missed and loved.

Love Cathy and family.

David LeeperMarch 19,1997 - February 3, 2014

It has been two years since you left us,but it feels like yesterday.You will live forever in our hearts,and are never far away.

Love Mom, Dad and Kristin
