hen Stouffville’s Don Reesor took over the family grave dig-ging business from his uncle in 1985,
he was still using just a shovel and wheelbarrow to dig plots.
He would shovel out half a grave early in the morning before heading to his job as a probation officer.
After his day job, his wife would help him finish off the grave before the couple and their two young children would eat a picnic dinner on the grounds of one of the many small cemeteries where he worked.
Reesor, who owns DRX Excavat-ing and Lawn Care, has seen many changes that have affected the cem-etery industry in York Region over the past three decades.
The population has roughly tri-pled as subdivisions have gobbled up valuable land, but while urban planners and politicians have made room for houses, schools, hospitals, libraries, fire halls, and recreation centres, the idea of setting aside land for cemeteries has often been ignored, possibly because grave-yards don’t pay property taxes and development fees.
‘So, it’s not like you can just
go out into the forest and
bury somebody.’
Aging baby boomers are caus-ing the region’s seniors population to skyrocket. They will make up the bulk of the 232,000 residents who will die over the next quarter century.
With Canada welcoming about 250,000 newcomers a year, with most immigrants settling in major urban areas such as the Greater Toronto Area, Vancouver and Mon-treal, the region has had an influx of many ethnic groups with various cultural cemetery customs.
Small community graveyards containing a few hundred souls have given way to major cemetery and funeral companies.
“There will be no more one-acre, two-acre cemeteries any more. They
are a thing of the past, as far as I’m concerned. That’s my thought,” Reesor said while standing just out-side the fence of the 204-year-old Dickson Hill Cemetery just off Hwy. 48 near 19th Avenue in Markham, where he also sits on the board of directors.
“It will be 100-acre, 200-acre com-mercial cemeteries and the big guys are going to be running them. I’m third generation (as a grave digger). There could be another generation that does it, but it’s a dying thing.”
A new cemetery needs analysis by consultant LEES + Associates Architects and Planners warns of an impending shortage of cemetery land in the region.
While there is enough cemetery land in the region overall to meet the needs for the next 25 years, the report warns of a critical shortage is on the horizon in some communities and among some religious groups.
Strange to think of Canada, with its abundance of land, running out of cemetery land, but major urban centres such as Toronto and Vancou-ver are beginning the feel the crunch of dwindling graveyard space, says Gary Carmichael, vice-president of government and corporate affairs with Arbor Memorial, which has 41 cemeteries, 28 crematoria and 92 funeral homes across Canada, including in Newmarket, Stouffville, Markham and Woodbridge. An application for a cemetery with 50 acres of burial space in Dickson Hill, just south of Stouffville, is now before the Ontario Municipal Board.
“When you think of Canada, if I can get on my soap box for half a second, you think of this great, wide, expansive land, but cemeteries are regulated land use. So, it’s not like you can just go out into the forest and bury somebody,” Carmichael said.
NOT JUST CANADA
But while lack of cemetery land may be just making its way onto the radar screen in Canada, it has long been an issue in other parts of the world, experts said.
“Increasingly, this is a problem affecting mega-cities. Mega-cities have been completely taken over by the scale of demand. Burial space
hasn’t kept pace. There is a need for step–change in the way they are trying to deal with that as an issue,” Julie Rugg, a senior research fellow at the University of York’s Cemetery Research Group in England, said.
“In all of these places, you see cemetery provision is creaking under the weight of demand and they really have to think strategi-cally about how to deal with it.”
Different cities and countries face different challenges, includ-ing “archaic” laws banning re-using graves, a lack of land, financial hard-ship in purchasing new property, regulatory hurdles, a reluctance by politicians to plan for cemeteries and often no laws forcing them to address the issue, Rugg said, adding Scotland has just passed legislation requiring local governments to deal with cemetery space.
Although cremation rates are rising worldwide, communities around the world have resorted to creative means to make the most of their limited cemetery lands.
While owning a cemetery plot
in perpetuity is the law in Ontario, residents of some European coun-tries only buy a cemetery plot for a certain number of years.
If the family doesn’t continue to pay for the space, the grave is reused for someone else.
About a century ago, land-squeezed San Francisco relocated its cemeteries to a community about 10 miles south.
In Hong Kong, families store ashes in funeral homes, waiting years for a space in a public or pri-vate cemetery to open up.
The lack of cemetery land is not an issue discussed much among average residents in Brazil or cov-ered in the media, Daniel Cabral, a tour guide in Rio de Janeiro, said.
However, he pointed out the city has just welcomed a vertical cem-etery, featuring a chapel, lagoon, peacock garden, waterfalls, an avi-ary with parrots and toucans and a small restaurant.
Meanwhile, Brazil’s city of San-tos contains the world’s tallest vertical cemetery, which stands 32
storeys tall. Canada has, so far, been able to
avoid much of the angst surround-ing dwindling cemetery land expe-rienced in other areas of the world, according to Bruce S. Elliott, a histo-ry professor at Carleton University in Ottawa specializing in cemeteries and gravestones.

“The two things in life that are certain are death and taxes and certainly death is something we all have to face. We have to do some-thing with human remains and as long as we feel that human remains deserve respect and shouldn’t just be thrown out with the trash, then we have to acknowledge we need to treat those remains with respect. Our views of what constitutes digni-fied treatment change. Cremation was initially a hard sell in a lot of circles,” he said.
He praised York Region for con-ducting its study.Read the entire story on yorkregion.com

King to province: ban corporate, union donations
to municipal campaignsBut less than 48 hours after council vote, province signals intent to ban corporate, union donations
By Tim [email protected]
Less than 48 hours after King Township council voted to send a letter to the province urging it to ban corporate and union donations provincewide in municipal election cam-paigns, it seems the province listened.
Municipal Affairs and Hous-ing Minister Ted McMeekin announced Wednesday morning the majority Liberal government would be going ahead with a corporate and union ban for all municipal politicians in time for the 2018 election.
That follows closely on a plan to ban corporate and union donations to MPPs that the Liberals plan to bring in as well.
Councillor Debbie Schaefer’s motion, brought forward at Monday’s Township council meeting and seconded by Councillor Cleve Mortelliti, was strongly opposed by coun-cillors Linda Pabst and Bill Cober, both of whom took over $4,000 in corporate donations in the 2014 municipal election.
“If we were starting fresh… I can’t imagine what the argu-ment would be to have contri-butions come from entities that don’t vote,” argued Schaefer in support of her motion.
But Cober shot back that “it’s very, very, very important that they (businesses) get to
participate in the democratic process… I think it’s really important that we permit that. The motion says we want your tax money, we want your investment in the municipal-ity, we want you to provide sponsorships, we want you to provide advertisements in our municipality’s local programs, but we don’t want to hear your political thoughts. That’s not fair.”
He also took aim at the notion of a tax-rebate program – something Schaefer had spo-ken about but didn’t bring for-ward in her final motion -- for municipal donations for indi-vidual contributions to candi-dates.
“The municipality ends up funding political campaigns. To me that’s absolutely ridicu-lous. Why would we take tax-payers’ money that’s used to fix potholes and buy library books and put the lights on in the arenas to fund political cam-paigns? You want to go with a rebate program, you got to put a budget line in the budget to fund the election because the rebates are 50 to 75 per cent (of the contribution to the candi-date),” Cober said.
Pabst said, “I receive funds from corporate companies but they’re corporate companies pretty much all in my ward. I respect the corporate compa-nies in my ward, they respect me and I think they have a
right to choose who governs their municipality.”
Mortelliti wanted a “level playing field across the prov-ince…when I ran in 2006, I had a little ticker going across my website that said, ‘No devel-oper contributions…’ I would do the same thing again. I don’t feel I would be beholden to any developer.”
Mayor Steve Pellegrini said he only wanted all 444 munici-palities across the province to follow the same rules.
“Be fair across the prov-ince,” he said. He also asked that the township consider tax-deductible receipts for individ-ual donations in subsequent municipal elections.
Boyd said he had a corpo-rate donation that came from, “my neighbour. I volunteer with him. I know him well. Another one came from a local business. That’s it. Be cognizant about where your donations come from.”
Schaefer, an outspoken critic of corporate municipal donations who refused to take them in 2014, was backed by Pellegrini, and councilors Avia Eek, Boyd – who received cor-porate donations in 2014 – and Mortelliti. Pabst and Cober voted against the motion in a recorded vote.

Township of King coun-cilors gave their support to a resolution to keep the Hwy. 400 ramps at Canal Road open during upcom-ing construction from Hwy.
9 north of the Holland Marsh to Bradford.
Bradford West Gwillim-bury council passed a reso-lution at a May 3 meeting calling on Transport Minister Steven Del Duca to keep the ramps open for the duration of the construction, expected to take three years.
Councillor Avia Eek, who represents Holland Marsh, and who attended the May 3 meeting at BWG coun-cil, said it’s critical that the ramps remain open during construction.
“It’s access to our farmers in King Township to be able
to move their goods reason-ably to market without going through built-up areas. If our farmers are not able to access the 400 at Canal Road, they’re going to be forced to go to Hwy. 9. If you’ve ever been in the Marsh trying to get to the 400 off of Jane Street, good luck… people do not let you in… just leave the ramps (at Canal Road) alone,” she said.
Eek also said removal of the ramps would affect emer-gency response times too.
The resolution received unanimous support from council.

Alternative censusing?e filled out the census form the other day, that much ballyhooed poll of who lives in our home, what
our relationships are, how we get around, what we do for a living.
Having these stats tallied is considered vitally important for our country’s future. The previous government was much criticized for cutting back on the long-form census, making it voluntary, and so on.
So now all is right with the world and you better answer all those queries from the stats peo-ple or else.
While it is so kind of them to ask, did you notice all the really, really looong questions, such as — Is anyone listed in step B a farm operator who produces at least one agricultural product intended for sale? For example, crops, livestock, milk, poultry, eggs, greenhouse or nursery products, Christmas trees, sod, honey, bees (odd juxtaposition - honey and/or bees ... or honey bees? Can’t have honey if you don’t have bees!), maple syrup products, furs, etc.
So we get it already! A farm product!
Likewise I was relieved to determine what my relationship is with “Person 1 and Person 2”: Opposite-sex husband or wife of Person 1; Son or daughter of both Persons 1 and 2 (it’s like Dr. Seuss! Thing 1 and Thing 2!); Sweetheart, hockey teammate or dentist of Person 3; Off-leash dog park acquaintance of Person 4; Guy who held door at Wendy’s for Person 5.
Yes, I am exaggerating. But some of the questions do seem a little odd.
Personally, if I had my own census to write up, I might have been a little more nosey, and asked a few questions to find out how we really feel about each other and the relationships in our lives. Perhaps the government would consider them for next time:
Q: When it comes to your use of public transit in York Region, do you travel by:1. Car2. Pickup truck3. SUV
4. Minivan?Q: Fill in the blank. Your current
employer is...1. Wonderful!2. Probably monitoring my com-puter so I can only say so much.
Q: Of all the persons living in your home, who do you wish was actually living there?1. Not everyone but you don’t want to say who?2. Is it unkind to single out my mom?3. Quit “dropping by”. And get your own food and cable! You know who you are.4. If people wouldn’t flip off their socks all over, I would quit wishing they lived on the street.
Q: Which person in the home do you have the deepest feelings for?1. Confession: I like my grandkids better than my own kids.2. Anyone who has a job.3. When you say “person” does that include cats?
Q: Describe your relationship with your spouse.1. Happily married.2. Happily unmarried.3. Still somewhat happy most Fri-days, every second month during even numbered years. 4. We live near an LCBO; that helps.5. On good days, I wonder what I saw in him in the first place. On bad days, be afraid, very afraid.6. Every moment together with this person is like having the den-tist drill out a cavity.
So there you have it, folks. The alternative census.
Either way, I hope you complet-ed your form and I hope the info is useful — to someone. And I hope you have someone you can count on to call on the phone, message on your computer, or check off in a box as being your friend.

Seniors, get your brooms ready to clean up
Finally, the majority of Canadian vot-ers are fed up with the previous gov-ernment’s arrogance and closed-door policies and swept them out the door.
Enter the new kid (Prime Minister Justin Trudeau) and, with it, change from the old Conservative guard.
Trouble is, Trudeau brings with him ideas that are creating a major deficit that will mean a financial crisis for the country.
Maybe Canadian politicians should hurry off to a luxury retreat in Alberta to discuss this problem. Are you kid-ding me? It seems like the sense of entitlement is contagious in Ottawa.
Fellow seniors, get the broom ready.

Vaccinations save countless lives each year
Re: Do you know if your child has had his vaccinations?, April 25: bit.ly/1VS96h5
Many thanks for publishing this important and life-saving article.
We are winning the war against diseases that can be prevented by vaccinations.
One example is measles. Founded in 2001, the Measles and
Rubella Initiative is a global organi-zation with many partners, includ-ing the Red Cross and the United Nations.
Through this organization, 1.8 bil-lion children have been vaccinated against measles between 2001 and 2014.
As a result, there has been a drop of 75 per cent in the mortality rate for measles worldwide between 2001 and 2014.
It is estimated measles vaccina-tions prevent one million deaths each year.

Q&AThe arches of my feet acheand the pain worsens the
more I am on myfeet. What can be
causing this?
Newmarket Chiropody 905-830-1010200 Davis Drive, Unit #1
Newmarket, ON L3Y 2N4
Sarah ChaN, chiropodist/foot specialist
One of the most common causes of arch pain is plantar fasciitis.The plantar fascia is a tough tissue on the bottom of the foot thatattaches from the heel to the ball of the foot. Due to changes in footbiomechanics, this tissue can rip leading to pain and inflammation.
Treatment most often involves preventing the plantar fascia fromtearing by correcting faulty foot biomechanics with the use of footorthotics and supportive footwear. A chiropodist can help you withassessing the problem and recommending a course of treatment.
The fact is, we are never actually going to get rid of heartworm – even if wemanaged to get every single pet dog on preventive, the heartworms would not dieout because they still find a home in the wild canids (coyotes, foxes and wolves).
And while the incidence of Heartworm in pet dogs is low compared to the thousandsof dogs in southern Ontario, we still had 202 reported positives last year (and thatprobably underestimates the actual positives – these are dogs that got taken to avet to get tested, and a vet that did report the positive to the RealTime Diseaseswebsite).
Even scarier is the incidence of tick-borne diseases – in 2015 the RealTime Diseasesite reported 1229 Lyme Disease cases in dogs!
So yes, I would still advise the testing and preventives!

KING VOLUNTEERS
BY TIM [email protected]
There was plenty of love in the room when King Township celebrated Volun-teer Appreciation Night last Thursday at Country Day School.
Newly named Citizen of the Year Blair Day, a 44-year resident of the township, simply wound up his short speech with an appropriate, “I love King.”
And you couldn’t help but be swept up by the good feeling when 57-years-mar-ried couple Fred and Betty Beaton embraced after the pair received well-deserved Lifetime Achievement awards for their numer-ous volunteer accomplish-ments.
Even Mayor Steve Pel-legrini got choked up when he said how proud he was of all the volunteers that make King great.
It was that kind of night.Hundreds packed the
Country Day School gym to celebrate the good works of King’s volunteers.
Thirteen awards were handed out in five separate categories: special recogni-tion; senior citizen award of merit; youth award of merit; lifetime achievement and citizen of the year.
Day took the top award of the evening for his long years of involvement in coaching sports, helping out in theatre, volunteering at the Maple Health Cen-tre, Arts Society King, the King City Library Board and many more.
“It’s humbling and it’s great,” said Day about receiving his award.
“It’s not about a person, it’s about the Township, it’s about the community and it’s about all the people who contribute so much to this place and what makes it
worth living here for me,” he said.
Fred and Betty Beaton were delighted to be chosen as co-recipients of lifetime achievement awards.
“It was amazing, we didn’t have any idea,” about the award, said Betty, 79.
“It was a surprise,” added Fred, also 79.
The 57-year residents of King have seen it all in their nearly six decades of living in the township. Fred even remembers coaching current King City councillor Cleve Mortelliti in hockey more than four decades ago.
“That’s how far I go back,” Fred Beaton joked.
The Beatons were recog-nized for their long dedi-cation to the Lions Club, their church, youth sports and many other activities. As the mayor said: “Fred Beaton would do anything for King.”

One of the largest Victoria Day celebra-tions in Ontario takes place right here in King Township in Nobleton this Monday.
A parade with marching bands, classic cars and much more starts the day downtown in the village at the gazebo. Local businesses have jumped in to help make the day a lot of fun for the whole family.
The Noble-ton Village Association plays a big part in orga-nizing Victoria Day, which draws thou-sands annually to the confluence of Hwy. 27 and King Road.
There is plenty of food available for all tastes and lots of entertainment with the Time Trip Band hitting the stage sponsored by Tim Hortons. The Lake Effects Bar and Pub is put-ting on the beer tent with food to boot and a midway offers rides for the kids.
Face-painting is also available. Tim Hortons is donating all proceeds from
its coffee truck to the NobleKids Christmas Toy Drive, a popular annual cause.
An always fun event is the chance to see the wild creatures and critters Reptilia pro-vides. And a visit to Victoria Day wouldn’t be complete without a chance to toss a ball at the victims in the dunk tank. Local dignitaries will be sitting on the platform waiting to get wet
for a good cause.The best part of the day – or night – is
undoubtedly the fireworks display, which is spectacular.

A unique piece of King Township’s history stands tall in Kettleby. Built in 1891 under the leadership of Rev-erend E.W. Sibbald, Christ Church is celebrating its 125th anniversary.
As part of the celebra-tion, the church is hosting a special fundraising event “A Springtime Soiree in Kettle-by” on May 28 beginning at 6 p.m. with cocktails, canapes, and cake. The evening fea-tures the beautiful voice of Diva in the Rough, Catherine Hughes and includes a live auction at 7 p.m.
A few items up for bid are The Diva For Dinner: a private parlour concert pre-ceded by a four-course din-ner for eight; two tickets to the Toronto Blue Jays vs. the New York Yankees, Monday May 30th; watercolour prints of the Village of Kettleby by artist Nancy Brookes; two tickets to Stratford Festival “A Chorus Line”; Round the Bend Farm & Market- a “Per-sonal Bin”, seasonal fruits and vegetables once weekly for 22 weeks; cut flowers
monthly for a year from “The Floral Studio”; and a framed print Companions by inter-nationally acclaimed artist Helen Lucas.
Built using local field stones in the typical Norman English design with a square bell tower and fine stained glass windows, the church continues to be a vibrant part of the community. Here the King Township Food Bank finds its home. A summer camp, affordable to all, runs for a week with volunteers organizing activities. And it is
here that weddings, funerals and baptisms take place for families in the community. As well, the church assists with outreach projects; namely Christmas in King and a clean water initiative to the northern community of Pikangikum.
Funds are being raised for the restoration of the beautiful Bell Tower, which has begun to crumble. Work on the tower is being done by J.D. Strachan Construc-tion Limited, specializing in church restoration. While not designated as a Heritage Building, it is on King Town-ship’s list of important struc-tures.
Money raised through “A Springtime Soiree in Kettle-by” will assist in the comple-tion of the tower. The bell is our voice in the community and when it rings, it rings for all.
Christ Church is located at 292 Kettleby Rd. Tickets are $35 and may be purchased at the door or by calling 905-836-4618 or 905-939-8801. Come join us!

– “Hilda’s Yard” at King’s Wharf Theatre
Enjoy a hot lunch at the Captain’s Table with a beau-tiful view of the historic Tall Ships and Penetanguishene Bay. Next, we make our way to King’s Wharf Theatre to see a production of “Hilda’s Yard.” It’s 1956 and a couple is enjoying life after the kids have left the nest. But their world turns chaotic when their son loses his job and
the daughter leaves her hus-band, and both return home. The laughter builds in this heart-warming, nostalgic comedy that lovingly har-kens back to a simpler time.
Cost: $114 per personFor further information,
or to book a seat, call Jane Hepworth at 905-833-5870.
Five King City seniors were among the award win-ners at last week’s Volunteer Appreciation night. Lifetime Achievement Awards went to Fred and Betty Beaton and Ed Millar. Blair Day was named Citizen of the Year, and Rose-mary Bellefontaine received the Senior Citizen Award of Merit.
Congratulations to all the winners and nominees.

herry Webster’s notes will continue to ring true in the hearts of those who knew her.
To some, she was a loving wife and devoted mother of two. To others, she was a dedi-cated teacher and the commu-nity will remember her forever as the organist who played at the Ray Twinney Complex during Newmarket Saints games. She was an energetic and encour-aging spirit who will never be forgotten by those who were for-tunate enough to have crossed her path.
“She was a unique person,” her husband, Bill, said. “She was mystifying, talented, smart, funny and shared my love for music.”
They first met at the “Jolly” Miller Tavern in Toronto more than four decades ago. Both were musicians and teachers who were just beginning their careers. It was only six months later that the couple married. In 1974, the couple moved to New-market, a move they called the great white north at the time.
Over the years, Cherry taught primary and junior grades, music, special needs children and French at Park Avenue Pub-lic School, at schools in Aurora, but spent the majority of her time at Prince Charles Public School in Newmarket.
“The students who needed most, just gravitated toward her because of her empathy and because she was so giving,” he added. “She was just an amazing person in everything she did.”
Cherry juggled her teaching
Cherry Webster loved by students, friends
Ccareer, raising her children, Dar-ryl and Kim, and teaching private piano lessons. On top of that, she decided the Newmarket Saints games needed a certain spice so, for every game, she would lug her equipment, plus her children, to the second floor of the recreation complex to rev up players and fans.
“I still meet people today who knew my mom as the Leafs’ farm team organist,” Darryl said. “I have been to some faraway places and people know who my mother was; a beautiful person.”
But closer to home, he remem-bers his mother being someone who always put everyone else first, almost to a fault, as he won-ders if she ever had time for her-self. When he was 12, he attended a goalie school in Orillia, but was too shy to spend the night at the camp, so his mother crammed his hockey equipment into her IROC Z28 at 5 a.m. three times a week to allow him to have the experi-ence.
“She would encourage any idea we had,” he laughed. “I wanted to travel with a band that made no money and she never discouraged me.”
When his sister, Kim, moved to Manchester, Cherry never discouraged her and remained close with her daughter.
Cherry always enjoyed travel-ling to see her daughter and felt very much at home there.
Her empathy for others began well before her family was estab-lished or before she became a teacher. When her classmates were choosing to go to Paris as part of French studies, she went to Africa where she could do mission work on top of teaching French.
In addition to her other talents, Cherry had written a children’s book, but had never done any-thing with it until she was diag-nosed with a brain tumour that claimed her life in April. With help from her family, the book, The Amazing Adventures of Squeaky and Vashy, has been published.
The family is currently working on organizing a life celebration to be held in August.
“We want the celebration to be as unique as she was,” Bill said.
It will be a celebration with music and memories to pay trib-ute to a life that was taken too soon.
Cherry Webster was a bright light in many people’s lives:
“She was my first teacher when I started at Prince Charles, she made me feel comfortable and she was one of the best teachers I had.
“I still think of her often and, like a lot of others, have men-tioned I, too, still use her songs to help aid my own children in their mathematical journey.”
—Melanie Walsh-Boland
“I wouldn’t have survived my first few years of teaching at Park Avenue without her as a mentor and shining guide. She was such a dedicated and hard-working teach-er. Her sensitivity to others, enthu-siasm, positive approach, creativity
and kindness were appreciated by everyone.”
—susan collett
“Mrs. Webster was my Grade 4 teacher and a teacher I will never forget. I still remember, to this day, the songs she taught us to help with math.
“I have also used these to help teach my children. I remember days of going to the Newmarket Saints hockey games and being more excited that my teacher was the musician playing on her key-board. Thank you for the wonderful memories. You will never be forgot-ten.”
— Jennifer Gillison
“Adored by children, universally respected and an inspiration to her peers, Mrs. McCluskey was a tireless volunteer, quick to defl ect the praise heaped on her.”
