One of the key assets in anymarriage is thematrimonialhome. It is where you and your spouse lived togetherand raised your family. It is full of memories; somegood and some bad. As a result, you may want to refuseto sell your home or you may want to buy-out yourspouse. The lawmay not always be on your side. Inmostcases it is better to negotiate a deal rather than go toFamily Court.

Here are some of the legal principles that mayimpact you:

• The Court’s only remedy is to order the sale of ajointly owned home.

• The Court cannot order one spouse to buy-out theother spouse’s interest in the home.

• A home owned by one person cannot be orderedsold.

• Until there is an agreement or court order, bothparties have a right to occupy the home.

• The value of the matrimonial home is part of theequalization calculations even if you do not own it.

• A matrimonial home that was gifted or inheritedis still part of the equalization calculations, unlikeother assets.

• A cottage regularly used by the family can be considered a second matrimonial home.

The law concerning the matrimonial home is complicated. These principles are just the tip ofthe iceberg.When are ready tomove forward, your next step is to book a consultation with us.We can help you get it sorted out.

We help our clients obtain realistic and long-lastingsolutions to their difficult and emotional situations.

Man arrested after car parked in middle of street

On Nov. 14 just after midnight, a con-cerned citizen called South Simcoe Police to report that a car was parked in the middle of a street in Cookstown.

The vehicle was still running, with the driver passed out behind the wheel.

Officers parked both in front and behind the vehicle to prevent it from moving. Anoth-er officer approached and had a hard time waking up the man behind the wheel.

The 38-year-old Barrie man eventually awoke from his slumber and got out of the car but was arrested shortly after, once police noticed a smell of alcohol. He was taken to the north station for testing and was charged with impaired driving and drive over 80 mgs.

His licence was also suspended for 90 days and his car impounded.

When you drink tap water, take a shower and swim in a local lake, you want that water to be clean and safe.

This is why the Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition is asking the province to expand Ontario’s Greenbelt in our area.

“People got behind the Lake Simcoe Pro-tection Plan. This is just the next logical step,” said coalition co-chairperson Margaret Prophet.

Ontario’s Greenbelt is a 1.8-million-acre parcel of protected farmland, wetland and forest stretching from the Greater Toronto Area north to Tobermory. In Simcoe County, the Greenbelt covers Holland Marsh crop areas in Bradford West Gwillimbury and Inn-isfil as well as portions of Adjala–Tosorontio and New Tecumseth.

Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Hous-ing spokesperson Conrad Spezowka said the province is committed to growing the Green-belt. In the spring, the ministry completed a series of public consultations to review four provincial growth plans and consider Green-belt expansion.

“Municipal interest to date has been on adding urban river valleys within existing urban areas. This builds on the Greenbelt Plan amendment, which recognizes urban river valleys as important connections to the Great Lakes and will help municipalities in identifying possible areas for Greenbelt expansion,” Spezowka said.

Proposed amendments will come forward in the winter of 2016, he added.

More than 100 community groups, includ-ing the Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition and Ontario Greenbelt Alliance, have asked the province to nearly double the size of the Greenbelt to add 1.5 million acres of land containing vital water resources. In Sim-coe County, this includes almost 300,000 hectares of land covering the Lake Simcoe watershed, the Oro Moraine, the Nottawasa-ga River Watershed and the Minesing Wet-lands, which supply and purify clean drink-ing water for most residents of the county, Prophet said.

“We’re hoping at least the vulnerable water areas of Simcoe County would be protected,” she added. “Only a portion of the Lake Sim-coe watershed is protected.”

Cheryl Shindruk, a member of the Mid-hurst Landowners Group, declined comment on the Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition’s plan to grow the Greenbelt. The landown-ers group is made up of five development companies.

Groups ask province to protect Simcoe County’s water supply

“When the Crombie report is made pub-lic, we will consider its recommendations and make comment if necessary, but we will not be commenting on any individual submissions from any group to the Crombie panel,” Shindruk said.

David Crombie chairs the six-member provincial growth plan review panel.

The Bradford Topic requested an inter-view with a County of Simcoe representative regarding the Greenbelt expansion. In a pre-pared statement, Warden Gerry Marshall said the county does not comment on matters between the Simcoe County Greenbelt Coali-tion and the province. He provided a state-ment about the county’s planning policies.

Marshall said the county’s updated official

plan, under review at the Ontario Municipal Board, would expand the amount of protect-ed green lands, significantly increase protec-tion of wetland areas and protect farmland.

The county is setting density targets with fixed boundaries for all settlement areas,” he added.

“Once approved, Simcoe County would have some of the most stringent land use protection policies and designations in the province. These are very strong planning policies that provide a responsible balance to protect our lands and resources, while fos-tering growth by creating new regional trans-portation options, supporting economic prosperity and encouraging healthy, vibrant communities,” Marshall said.

During the next 26 years, the county’s population will expand by 164,703 residents and the Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition questions what this means for our water sup-ply. Prophet said Greenbelt protection would ensure the water remains healthy through-out development.

“If we really want Simcoe County to grow in a sensible way, to make sure what we have now is preserved for future generations or even healthier than what we have, then now is the time to stand behind our water because once it’s compromised, it’s compro-mised,” she said.

In 2006, an intergovernmental action plan for Simcoe County showed our watersheds, primarily Lake Simcoe and Nottawasaga River Watershed, were reaching their capac-ity, Prophet said.

It said they would “not be able to handle much more effluent without the water qual-ity being compromised and that was back nine years ago,” she said.

And there is already evidence the county’s water quality and supply is declining with summer water restrictions and beach clo-sures, she added.

“Those things are starting to impact our daily life and those are indicators that the water isn’t plentiful or necessarily healthy in our area.”

Water restrictions have become common-place in Barrie, Springwater and Orillia. This past summer, Thornton issued a water ban when water supply reached critical levels, Prophet noted.

Bradford residents could be looking at an average tax levy increase of $71 per house-hold in 2016.

Council gathered to discuss next year’s budget Nov. 12 and 13, combing through the projected numbers of each town depart-ment, resulting in an estimated blended increase of 1.77 per cent, based on the aver-age house assessment of $360,220.

A 2.6-per-cent increase in water and wastewater is also expected, resulting in an average increase of $38.28 annually per household.

But before budgets were brought to the table, Mayor Rob Keffer spoke to staff sit-ting around the table in regards to the long process ahead.

“We won’t agree on everything, but I think throughout the last year, we’ve been able to respect one another as councillors and we’ll be able to move forward for the betterment of the town,” he said.

And with that, it was time to get down to the nitty-gritty. But what does the increase mean to you, as a resident?

A number of employment opportuni-ties were approved by council, including the addition of two firefighters. During his department presentation, Fire Chief Kevin Gallant said it was crucial for two more full-time positions to be added to the roster.

Currently, there are four crews based out of Bradford’s station — two of which are made up of four full-time firefighters each, while the other two only have three full-time positions on each.

The issue? A fire crew cannot respond to a call until four firefighters are at the station and equipped to leave. The two crews with three full-timers each must wait until a vol-unteer firefighter arrives.

“This is a need. We really need to get the boots on the ground and we need to get trucks out of the hall quicker,” said Gallant.

“With a full crew of four, ready to go, they

can be dressed and out the door in 80 to 90 seconds. When they wait for a volunteer, that time increases by minutes.”

Two full-time positions were granted to Gallant at an estimated $70,000 per fire-fighter.

In corporate services, a new law clerk will be incorporated into the budget mid-year, with an expected hire to take place around July for an estimated $45,000. The position will help alleviate current workloads on the town’s small legal services department.

The town will also gain an asset manager next year through community services.

“The province keeps asking us about our asset management plan and we keep mov-ing around it,” finance director Ian Goodfel-low said.

“The longer we go without the resources in this area, the more we miss out on oppor-tunities and grants available to us.”

Council agreed, saying it is imperative that someone be brought in to begin work-ing on an asset management goal. The posi-tion is estimated at $40,000.

On the savings side of things, a num-ber of reductions were approved, including $9,550 under professional development for councillors — a budget given for travel and accommodations for things such as semi-nars, workshops and conventions.

An amount of $23,000 in savings is expect-ed to come out the library’s budget through CEO Terri Watman, while $80,000 was sub-tracted by holding off on the full installa-tion of a new exhaust system for BWG’s fire department.

The town is also expecting a $50,000 grant from the county, which will help alleviate pressure on taxpayers, among other things.

“I’m really happy with this budget. I think we’ve done a good job for our residents at finding them cost savings,” said Deputy Mayor James Leduc.

The SSP budget is expected to come in front of council in January, according to board chairperson Sharon Villani.

Respect the justice system we havecustodial sentence will not make him more accountable. He’s a prisoner in his own body and is

already serving a life sentence.”With those words, Justice Alex

Sosna closed the book on the trial of a teenager who was convicted of first-degree murder in the 2011 death of York Regional Police Const. Garrett Styles.

As we would learn over the next four years, there was nothing easy about the trial.

The teenager was 15 when he was pulled over by Styles for speeding. After the officer informed the youth that his par-ents’ van would be impounded, the youth accelerated the vehicle, with Styles hanging out the van’s door as he attempted to grab the keys from the ignition.

Some 300 metres later, the vehicle veered to the left, hit a ditch, flipped, rolled and landed on Styles, crushing and killing him.

The youth, who was left a quadriplegic, was found guilty of first-degree murder by a jury and was sentenced Monday by Sosna to nine years of community supervision, which will be served at his family’s Newmarket home.

The judge rejected the Crown’s request that the youth be placed in an open-custody residence in Milton for five years, noting he was not satisfied the facility could properly care for the now 19-year-old’s significant medical needs.

It would be easy to look at the result and question if the entire trial was an exercise in futility. Look at the facts: a 15-year-old boy made a terrible choice that led to the death of a police officer and one that left him in a wheel-chair for the rest of his life.

Was there ever a real chance the teenager was going to do hard time for his crime?

Critics could argue that hun-dreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars and countless hours of valuable court time were wasted on a trial that likely never would have seen a courtroom if a police officer hadn’t been the victim.

But that’s the easy argument; not the right one.

Like it or not, this is how our justice system works.

And with that system, the process is just as important as the result.

The trial laid out all the evi-dence and gave everyone involved an opportunity to speak. It gave Styles’ widow, Melissa, a chance to tell the court of the pain she and her two small children have faced since the day of the tragic event.

Styles’ father, Garry, was given his moment to express how his son’s death has forever changed him as a man.

The result was the murder conviction, which Sosna said was imposed not because of pre-meditated thought or malice, but because Styles was a police officer executing his duties at the time of his death.

It was the verdict police and Styles’ family members sought, even though to some outsiders — many of whom took to social media in frustration — it came as a shock.

Not surprisingly, Monday’s sen-tence was met with harsh reaction from Styles’ family and colleagues.

“My wife and family are very disappointed in regards to Justice Sosna’s decision,” Garry Styles said in a media release issued by York Regional Police. “The sentence to us means nothing. It appears to us that a police officer’s life means nothing in the eyes of justice.

“As a former police officer, I find the sentence imposed to be lacking and opening the door to further tragedies involving police officers just doing their sworn duty.”

It’s easy to second guess the judge’s ruling, but, again, this is how our system of justice works. After all of the arguments and the jury’s verdict, the sentencing decision is left in the hands of a single person, who is asked to take all factors into consideration and then levy a penalty he or she deems suitable.

Was it too lenient? We can for-ever debate that question. Or, we can trust that our justice system — with its many flaws — is bound by our Canadian Constitution, as well as federal, provincial and ter-ritorial laws and guided to protect our human rights and fundamen-tal freedoms.

It’s all we’ve got.

‘A

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Where is the justice in police killing ruling?

Monday, a judge sentenced a teenager, who was convicted of first-degree mur-der in the death of York Regional Police Const. Garrett Styles, to no jail time.

Where is the justice? Justice Alex Sosna says the teen, who is a quadriple-gic, is already serving a life sentence because he is a prisoner in his own body.

Should Styles’ wife, children, parents and friends find comfort in the fact that the young person is a prisoner in his own body because he is a quadriplegic?

No, they can’t because Styles is dead. His life was taken from him for simply doing his job.

At the time of sentencing, Sosna took into account the teen’s age at the time of the incident and his family’s uncon-ditional support. He also described his injuries as “catastrophic”.

This young offender killed Styles. It was the young man’s choice to take

his parents’ van in the middle of the night without their knowledge.

It was the young man’s choice to speed. After he was pulled over by Styles and lying about his identity, it was again the young man’s choice to accelerate and attempt to get away, which resulted in the young man losing control and killing the officer.

While Styles was trapped under the van, no doubt knowing the seriousness of his own injuries and having trouble breathing, he used what little strength he had to advise dispatch that there were people in the van and they might be injured.

This case has taken four years to creep through the court system. Four years where a young wife and mother struggled to understand what happened. Four years that she had to try to pick up the pieces of her life and that of her children while she continued to attend court and make sure her husband’s death received some justice and to be his voice.

After four long years of waiting, that young woman sat in a courtroom and heard there would be no justice in her husband’s death.

After four long years, this widow must go home tonight and explain to her young children that there will be no jus-tice in their dad’s senseless death.

Fourteen local artists gathered at the Bradford library on Nov. 14 and 15 for the first Christmas Pop Up Market — shining a bright light on arts and culture in BWG.

With just three weeks of preparation, event organizer Darlene Braybrook said, the name truly does describe the essence of the pop up-themed art sale.

“We had very little time to get things together, but we were able to bring in a lot of wonderful vendors,” she said.

The event featured an array of items, such a paintings, handmade garden totems, jewel-ry, photography and much more. Braybrook says she hopes the Christmas Pop Up Market will become a staple in the arts and culture community every holiday season.

Braybrook, who is an artist herself and is known for her popular children’s camp Look What I Made Mom, has been a big sup-porter of creating opportunities for artists of all kinds from around Bradford, aiming to give them the creative outlet they so greatly deserve.

“Myself and others who are involved in the arts within the community want to see a permanent art space,” Braybrook said.

“That is a goal we are working toward. For now, we want to continue highlighting cul-ture days and events such as this one.”

The pop up market not only had one-of-a-kind art pieces for sale, but a silent auction

as well. According to Braybrook, all proceeds from the auction will go toward a young Bradford artist’s education.

Council recently agreed to the formation of an official arts and culture committee, which is an essential step forward in Bray-brook’s opinion.

“Everyone deserves to have their work on display. We have so much talent in our com-munity.”

For 10 years, Dissette Animal Hospital has helped thousands of pets throughout Bradford West Gwillimbury.

Owners Derek and Lesley Boughner cel-ebrated a decade in our community on Nov. 7, inviting clients to swing by – pets and all – for a day of fun.

‘People really put their trust in

you with their pets.’

The event featured a delicious barbecue, face painting, swag bags, free nail clipping for pets, a raffle for an iPad Mini and profes-sional photographs of pets for a $5 dona-tion.

York-Simcoe MPP Julia Munro joined Mayor Rob Keffer an council members to congratulate the Boughner’s ongoing suc-cess in BWG.

“Bradford is a growing place and as the number of people increases, so does the number of pets,” she said.

“People really put their trust in you with their pets. Congratulations.”

The clinic, which is home to three full-time and three part-time employees, is a place that Derek says he will be until the day he retires.

“This was my first practice and I have no plans to leave this location. We really love it here and our clients have been great to us.”

All proceeds from the raffle were given to The Farley Foundation, in support of individuals or families that may not be able to pay for veterinary care for their beloved pets.

Four local families in need will have their Christmas wishes come true this year, thanks to the third annual Operation Christmas Cheer fundraiser.

On Nov. 14, Tracy Gordon and her team of volunteers held another successful event, inviting 18 vendors to the Bradford United Church to help raise money for a special cause.

The fundraiser not only included the products offered from local businesses, but a silent auction as well. Item values ranged anywhere from $2 to $200.

The idea of Operation Christmas Cheer sprouted from other members of the church a few years ago. Gordon, who offered to become involved, eventually took the reins.

“We just wanted to be able to help families that needed it most,” explained Gordon.

“In previous years, we’ve worked with three families, but, this year, we’ve bumped it up to four.”

Proceeds from Saturday’s event will go toward buying items on the wish list of each child, as well as all of the food items needed for a family Christmas dinner.

Gordon says she plans on continuing Operation Christmas Cheer in the future, to ensure everyone can have a happy holiday season.

“We’ve always had a great turnout to the event. One year, there was even a bad snow-storm and people still came. It was wonder-ful,” she added.

“But it’s worth it. It’s worth it to make a difference.”

Cor Den Bleker and his wife, Louise, have proudly been behind the success of Dutch Treats in Bradford for 10 years.

On Nov. 7, the duo invited residents to celebrate a very important milestone of the business — it’s 60th anniversary serving BWG.

Though the Den Blekers are the fourth owners of Dutch Treats since it opened in 1955, Cor says he was a customer long before he and Louise had the chance to take over.

“I arrived in Canada in 1970 and I visited Dutch Treats many times. Everything about it was welcoming,” Cor said.

“It wasn’t until years later that we heard it was up for sale. We loved it and eventually decided we would buy it.”

Louise, who had previously started her own gift basket business, chose to incorpo-rate her love for them into the store, selling them along with all of the wonderful food and product.

The anniversary celebration included a raffle draw for a large bag of Dutch Treats goodies. All proceeds from the raffle were given to the Bradford Legion.

York-Simcoe MP Peter Van Loan, who says he frequents the store, congratulated the Den Blekers on continuing a beloved town tradition.

“Dutch Treats is a real asset to the com-munity, keep up the good work,” he said.

“I’m always around, picking things up and I’m sure you’ll see me for the holidays once Christmas comes around, too.”

York-Simcoe MPP Julia Munro, Mayor Rob Keffer and council members joined Van Loan.

“The downtown is an important part of Bradford and this business is a real signature of it all,” Keffer said.

Councillor Gary Baynes added a unique twist to the celebration, noting a few his-torical moments that took place 60 years ago.

The first McDonald’s location was opened

in 1955 he said, gaining laughter from the crowd, also adding the microwave was invented and the first Guinness Book of World Records was published.

Dutch Treats offered free samples and a cosy environment throughout the celebra-tion, thanking the community for its contin-ued support.

This year’s Studio Art Tour – featuring various pieces from local artists throughout Bradford from Sept. 18 to 20 – has given back to the community in the form of boots.

More than 20 students from St. Jean De Brebeuf Catholic School, Chris Hadfield Pub-lic School, St. Marie of the Incarnation Catho-lic School and Mother Teresa Catholic School put their handmade art pieces up for sale in a silent auction during the weekend event.

The $1,500 in proceeds raised recently went toward a very important cause — buy-ing winter boots for local charity Coats for Kids.

“Last year, we did the same thing during the Studio Art Tour and we raised $1,000. This year we had a very generous donation of $500

from TD Bank and $250 from Art and Gift Gallery in Newmarket,” tour organizer and local artist Stella Wadsworth said.

“The rest of the funds raised were from the children and all of their hard work with the silent auction.”

Around 30 pairs of boots were purchased and dropped off at Coats for Kids on Freder-ick Street in Bradford.

Wadsworth said the efforts of all student involved were honoured by Mayor Rob Kef-fer. Each was given a certificate of apprecia-tion.

“The kids did such a great job. We are very appreciative of their hard work,” said Wadsworth.

“We’d also like to thank the Art and Gift Gallery for framing all of the student’s art-work. Their support means a lot.”

BY SANDRA [email protected]

e was a little guy, but a big man,” is how Joan McCrack-en described her husband of nearly

50 years, John.John Sr. died in May at 78, just

months shy of the couple’s golden anniversary. However, before his death, he was already plan-ning something special. He sent away for a congratulatory certifi-cate from the prime minister. It arrived shortly after he died.

“We almost made our 50th, but he had to leave before that happened,” Joan said, remember-ing all those years they shared.

John Sr. wasn’t very good at sit-ting still.

As a kid, he played soccer, rugby and hockey. Around age 17 he joined the Royal Canadian Navy as a submariner.

“He wanted to see the world. Join the navy, see the world,” said his son, David, 49.

He also wanted the challenge, according to son, John Jr., 47.

“Not too many people get into the submarine service,” he said.

John Sr. was a leading seaman engineer’s mate first class and is one of a handful of people who have crossed the Atlantic Ocean three ways — by air, boat and under the water.

In 1962 he was honourably discharged from the navy.

Joan, 84, and John Sr. met in an east-end Toronto bowling league in 1963. Two years later, they married.

John McCracken gave to country, community

‘H“We just melded. That was it,”

she said.Despite now having a wife and

two sons — John Jr. and David — John Sr., they admitted, wasn’t home all that much.

John Sr. worked for the TTC for 17 years while also running his own plumbing business.

“I was the man around the house,” Joan said matter-of-factly and without an ounce of bit-terness. “He was always on the go. Short legs, but boy could he move.”

‘He wanted to see the

world. Join the navy, see

the world.’

John Sr. helped anyone who needed it, no matter the time of day.

But he also wasn’t opposed to getting a little help from his family.

Joan recalled one night, while they still lived in Scarborough, John Sr. called her around 11 p.m. and asked her to make dinner for five guys who were all still work-ing on a plumbing job.

She managed to pull together a feast and brought it over.

John Sr. was also noted for tell-ing people on the job: “We’d get a lot more done if you didn’t have to stop every four hours to eat,’” John Jr. recalled.

While working for the TTC as an inspector, John Sr. asked Joan to knit him a scarf to keep him warm while he stood outside

verifying route schedules.His co-workers liked the

scarves so much, which were TTC-coloured, they asked for one, too.

“’My wife can do that for you,’” she recalled him saying on this occasion and many others. Joan knit between 15 and 20 scarves that winter.

It just wasn’t Joan who was called in to help.

‘”I need a hand, you’re coming with me,’” John Jr. recalled of how he was hauled out to plumbing jobs with his father.

The family moved to Mussel-man’s Lake in 1968 to a house John Sr. built beside his mother’s home. Joan still lives there.

John Sr. spent four years in the navy and never forgot them. He was a life member of Stouffville’s Royal Canadian Legion Branch 459.

John Sr. held executive posi-tions at the legion, including presi-dent and past-president.

“Dedicated,” is how cur-rent legion president Judy Bond described John Sr.

Even as his health was failing last year, he attended all of the meetings and the Remembrance Day service, she said.

“As sick as he was, he still tried to carry on as best he could,” she said. “He was bound and deter-mined to do it.”

At legion dances it wasn’t uncommon for Joan to be without her dancing partner. That’s because her husband could often be found behind the bar helping out.

That’s what he did — helped everybody and anybody who needed it, according to his family.

“He’s a hard guy to replace.” David said.

“You don’t get too many people who step up like that anymore,” John Jr. added.

John Sr. was also a member of the Kinsmen Club of Stouffville and a charter member of the Bal-lantrae and District Lions Club.

“He was a joiner,” Joan recalled.

service at the Royal Canadian Legion in

She enjoyed Jake’s magic tricks immensely, and she was fortunate enough to have met Amanda’s son

Maddex. Good friends Kim Woods; Karin & John Bissonnette; Karen Shepherd will miss her greatly. She was predeceased by Bryan Woods who was like a son to her. Gerry was born at home in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec.
