Volunteer Mural Guides Ready for Doors Open Toronto May 25th & 26th in the Village of Islington

For the second year running, a dedicated and enthusiastic group of volunteers prepare for tours of the historic Village of Islington. They are proud to share stories and introduce new people to the area and all it has to offer. “Our guides are our best ambassadors and they do this work out of the generosity of their hearts and interest in the art and history of our community,” says Linda Plater, BIA Coordinator. Over the weekend of Doors Open Toronto May 25 and 26th, the Village and Montgomery’s Inn expects to host upwards of 500 visitors from near and far. The local business improvement area (BIA) welcomes Doors Open Toronto guests to explore the outdoor ART gallery along Dundas St. W. between Islington and Kipling Avenues. Free trolley and walking tours of the neighbourhood start at noon and end at 5PM on both days of Doors Open. The guides meet groups at Montgomery’s Inn and tours leave on the hour. Students from the local Music Studio are also set to entertain visitors en route to the Inn or Village. “Last year our mural tours packed trolleys and this year’s tours are set to please visitors once again,” according to BIA Chair, Lola Macanowicz. And many people from last year were so excited about what they saw here, they sent their friends, family and special interest groups of 10 or more to take free tours throughout the year. Over 700 people toured the Village in 2012 and the BIA expects close to 1000 for 2013. Visit www.toronto.ca/doorsopen2012/ for more information.

RJ Publishing celebrates 20 years! On February 14th, 1993 Evening Out with Bob and June was launched. Bob and June Hackett (my stepdad and mom) started a magazine that featured community-based businesses in the Etobicoke area. Early issues featured a cover sketch of Bob and June dining at local restaurants. In 1995 the “Bob and June” was dropped from the logo and the magazine called Evening Out focussed on all types of retail businesses. RJ Entertainment Publishing has been a leader in community-oriented content for small to medium business and local residents in several established communities. Our group of community publications now includes the Streetsville Village Times, Port Credit Village Times, The Lakeshore Villages, Kingsway Korners, Clarkson’s Corners and Village Of Islington Times. By networking with local shopkeepers and services, our publications provide an effective outlet for promoting the brands, products and services of local businesses to a wide audience. The suite of publications also includes several community business directories that are developed and maintained with the assistance of local BIA’s, and are distributed yearly to businesses and homes. Currently, RJ Entertainment Publishing publishes directories for Streetsville, Clarkson, Port Credit, Forest Hill and The Kingsway. RJ Entertainment Publishing also includes high-quality programs for several local events and festivals. For the last five years, we have published the Tim Hortons Southside Shuffle Official Festival Program, which won the 2009 Festivals & Events Ontario Award for Best Official Printed Program.

A Village for the times By Ed Lettner

Life in the Village of Islington has changed greatly during the past two centuries, but it continues to thrive as a place to live and work that I am proud to be a part of. My business is located on the site of the old Islington House Tavern. Having grown up in the area, I remember the “I”, as it was affectionately known, as being a local landmark that played a role in the history of the Village of Islington. As a young child, I recall accompanying my sister to her guitar lessons in the building on the south-west corner of Dundas Street West and Cordova Avenue, directly across the street from where I now offer music lessons. From its roots as an independent village to today being part of a major city, The Village of Islington is certainly a village for the times. Ed Lettner owns The Music Studio in the Islington Village Plaza which offers music instruction for children and adults. For information about their programs, visit www.themusicstudio.ca.

Balancing Life while Caring for Aging Parents By Gary Hepworth, Premier Homecare Services

3819 Bloor St. West @ the Six Points • 416-233-9800 Email: office@standrewsislington.org. • Website: www.standrewsislington.org. Wheelchair accessible

Spring feels like a fresh start, an exciting beginning and a busy time for baby boomers trying to balance life – caring for aging parents, a professional working life and family responsibilities.

Women in Community gather 1 pm to 3 pm for conversation, speakers, crafts and refreshments; 1st Thursday each month. St. Andrew’s Youth Fellowship (SAYF) meets every Friday 7 pm to 10 pm for games, outings, community outreach and bible study. Grades 7-12. Trillium Fellowship – Senior/retirees meet every 2nd Wednesday of the month for fellowship, speakers, bus trips, videos and refreshments. Daytime Prayer Group A time to pray for the needs of the community, the church and each other. No experience required! The Community Banquet is a free, festive meal full of fun, music and games. Call the office to reserve a seat for April 20, 4:30 pm. Vacation Bible School for kids 4 yrs to grade 6. Follow Paul’s journey through Athens. July 8 to July 12, 9:30 am to 11:45 am.

Balance is the key to life we’re told, but the question is how to achieve this state of contentment – where tasks complete themselves on time and everyone’s needs are met with sufficient means. The first step towards a balanced life is recognizing when you’re out of balance. You’ll feel overwhelmed, stressed, fatigued and probably guilty at not getting to all those oh-so-important tasks. Start with prioritizing all of the things you want to get done. What can’t be put off and what can you put “on the shelf” for a later time? Don’t forget to include your own personal development time – it is all about balance after all! Now that you have your priorities aligned, its time to fit them into a workable plan. Set aside realistic goals and timelines. If one of your priorities is helping your teenager through their homework, but you also have to make sure your aging mom has dinner, this may be a good time to prepare meals to deliver next time you visit. Call it a smart use of time. Distribute tasks and responsibilities. It sounds obvious, but many people try to do too much and are afraid to ask for help. You and a relative can take turns bringing mom her groceries and driving to appointments. Giving your children more chores around home for an increased allowance can also lighten your load.

Montgomery’s Inn upcoming events Montgomery’s Inn ( www.Montgomerysinn.com or facebook.com/montgomerysinn )is open for tours year round. The tearoom is open from 2 to 4 PM and meeting rooms are available for special events. Please note that the Inn is closed Mondays. You can also find Montgomery’s Inn on Facebook.

Finally, know your limitations. If you’re using your time as efficiently as possible but still feel like you’re falling short – consider a professional Caregiver. Companionship, meal-preparation, assistance bathing and grooming, and driving to appointments is only a few of the benefits of having a few hours of help a week.

Islington mural honours Fencibles from War of 1812 By Bruce Glassford

The 24th mural in Islington’s magnificent collection of murals depicting Etobicoke’s history was officially unveiled on Thursday, October 25. It is located on the north side of the CIBC building at 4914 Dundas Street West at Burnhamthorpe Road. The mural depicts the “march of extraordinary celerity” of three militia units from York to Burlington Heights along Dundas Street following the defeat of numerically superior American troops by British troops and their Indian allies at the Battle of Stoney Creek (June 6, 1813) and the Battle of Beaver Dams (June 24, 1813). After these defeats the Americans retreated to Fort George in today’s Niagara-on-the-Lake which they had captured in May of 1813. The British troops which had been headquartered at Burlington Heights followed, leaving Burlington Heights largely undefended. However, American ships were probing defences in this area, leaving open the possibility of a naval assault cutting off the rear of the British troops assaulting Fort George. So on July 29, 1813, Lieutenant Colonel Francis Battersby was ordered to move the troops under his command from York to Burlington Heights. In a “march of extraordinary celerity” he led his men to Burlington Heights to reinforce the site. Upon his arrival, the American ships quickly withdrew and the area was considered secure. This is the action that the mural represents. Three different Canadian regiments were included in Battersby’s command. The largest was Battersby’s own Glengarry Light Infantry Fencibles, with smaller groups from the 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment of Foot, and Les Voltiguers Canadiens.

A company of the Glengarry regiment was also present at the Battle of York but played little part as they were misdirected by the commander of the Upper Canadian militia. Another company suffered severe losses trying to prevent American troops from landing to outflank the fort at the Battle of Fort George in 1813. Yet another company was involved at the Battle of Sackett’s Harbor, where troops withdrew after failing to drive American troops from their defensive positions.

Five regiments of Fencibles were raised in the War of 1812. Fencibles (from the word defencible) were temporary army units composed of local volunteers commanded by regular army officers. Those who signed up for service in North America wore green tunics, while those who agreed to serve anywhere wore regular red British tunics.

The units under Battersby’s command marched quickly to Burlington Heights and in the last months of 1813 the entire regiment was concentrated around Fort George, which the Americans abandoned in December 1813, burning the fort and town of Newark as they retreated. This led to the burning of several towns on the American side in retaliation.

The green tunics distinguished them from regular British army units. The exception was the 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment of Foot, who signed up for service anywhere and was elevated to a regiment of the line. They wore regular British red uniforms.

The regiment was built back up to strength over the winter, and a company took part in the raid on Fort Oswego in the spring of 1814. During the following summer the full Glengarry regiment, together with the light infantry companies of four regular line regiments, formed a covering force on the Niagara Peninsula commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Pearson. On July 25th, the regiment formed part of a light infantry brigade under Pearson and played a major part in the Battle of Lundy’s Lane. They harassed the left flank of the American troops, but suffered heavy casualties when mistaken for American troops by other inexperienced British troops. This was the bloodiest battle of the war, though a British victory.

Fencibles were generally intended for garrison and patrol duties, leaving the regular army units to perform offensive operations. However, many units saw very active engagements with the enemy. In addition to the three Fencible regiments included in Battersby’s march the other regiments included the Royal Newfoundland Fencibles which served at the Battle of Mackinac and engagements on Lake Huron, and the Canadian Regiment of Fencible Infantry had many of its units at battles including Chateauguay, Lacolle Mills and Crysler’s Farm. The tiny Michigan Fencibles (45 men) also saw action. Battersby’s Glengarry Light Infantry was raised in the Glengarry district of Upper Canada where many of the settlers were Scots who had served in the Glengarry Fencibles in Scotland, which had been disbanded when the Treaty of Amiens was signed. But it also attracted a wide range of volunteers from districts as far away as Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Many of these were Scots, wanting to serve with their fellows in the regiment. Recruits were granted a bounty of four guineas upon recruitment and were promised 100 acres of land after the war. When the regiment reached 800 men (over its 600 man target) the Governor General Sir George Prévost appointed his adjutantgeneral Edward Baynes as the regiment’s colonel and Major Francis Battersby of the 8th King’s Regiment as the unit’s Lieutenant-Colonel.

During the remainder of 1814, the regiment performed outpost duty during the unsuccessful Siege of Fort Erie. A detachment was also present at the Battle of Malcolm’s Mills, the last action of the war on the Niagara Peninsula. The regiment was disbanded shortly after the war, but lives on in today’s Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders, a Primary Reserve infantry unit of the Canadian Forces. During the centennial of the War of 1812, the government belatedly allowed Canadian regiments to perpetuate 1812 militia and fencible units, thus awarding the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders three War of 1812 battle honours including the Battle Honour NIAGARA which had been awarded to the Glengarry Light Infantry Fencibles.

The unit gathered for training at Trois-Rivières in 1812 and later in 1812 the unit’s companies were deployed to various locations to serve as the nucleus for local militias. On Oct. 3, 1812 two companies stationed at Prescott on the St. Lawrence River were involved in a failed attack on Ogdensburg on the American side of the river. The attack was called off because American artillery ranged in on the boats carrying the attackers.

Battersby’s March may seem small in the overall scheme of the War of 1812, but the participants certainly played a major role and are well worth recognizing. This new mural commemorates Battersby’s March, when Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Battersby rushed the soldiers under his command from York to Burlington Heights to ward off an American threat.

On Feb. 22, 1813 the various Canadian units at Prescott mounted a successful attack across the frozen river under the command of George MacDonnell of the Glengarry unit. A company of the Glengarry Light Infantry, with some militia, made a frontal attack while the main body of the attackers turned the American’s right flank.

The red coated soldiers are the 104th (New Brunswick Regiment of Foot, with green-coated Glengarry Light Infantry Fencibles as well as Les Voltiguers Canadiens.)

Supperworks takes the work out of supper

History of Islington Golf Club

By Sherry Mcleod

At SupperWorks, we take the work out of supper.

Islington Golf Club is located off Riverbank Drive, and because it does not front on a major street, many people in the community are not aware of this beautiful club. This article will provide some perspective on the club’s history and a look at more recent happenings.

We create delicious monthly recipes, do the shopping, the washing, the chopping and the clean up so you can prepare tasty, wholesome meals without the time, without the hassle and without the mess! In less than 2 hours, you can prepare 12 freezable entrees, each serving 4-6 people - all for about $5 per serving.

Early History of the Land In 1840, miller/brewer Edward Musson of Weston bought two 100-acre farm lots in Islington. They were located between Islington and Kipling Avenues, and ran north from approximately where Dundas St./Burnhamthorpe Rd./Burnhamthorpe Cres. run today to the rear of the houses that are now on the south side of Bywood Drive. Musson developed these lots into two farms he called Willow Dale and Mill Bank. He built a saw mill on Mimico Creek ½ mile north of Dundas St. and a house on Burnhamthorpe Rd., overlooking the mill. Musson was active in the community as Etobicoke’s first Town Clerk and Treasurer in 1850, and as Reeve 1858-64. In 1870, he built a new house for his retirement on the northeast corner of Burnhamthorpe and Kipling which still stands, protected by a designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. In the 1890s, Musson’s heirs sold the property to John Appleby, who lived in a pre-existing house on the northwest corner of Dundas and Islington, where Pinocchio’s Restaurant is today. John and his wife Mary had four daughters and one son, William, who inherited the property after John died in 1913. William lived in the house with his wife Annie and their daughter Mary, born in 1909.

A Spiritual Oasis

Islington Golf Club History In 1913, the seed for Islington Golf Club was planted by three entrepreneurs with a vision for a community golf club. The Club was conceived in the minds of Colonel Bill Rogers, E.H.A. Watson (Principal of Riverdale Collegiate), and Mr. Chadwick (a local realtor.) All three were directors of the Colonial Realty Company and realized that the rolling farmland and winding Mimico Creek would make a pristine and challenging setting for a golf course. They negotiated an option with the Applebys to buy their farm. The First World War delayed their plans, but in 1923 they purchased the lots from William Appleby (except for six acres in the southeast corner) and Islington Golf Club was incorporated. Even before Letters Patent were granted, the first sod was turned in October 1923, and 18 holes were ready for play in August 1924. Fifty men and 20 teams of horses were employed, and because most of the land destined for fairways needed a minimum of work, it was completed in what was regarded as a record for the time. Toronto’s Stanley Thomson designed the course in this early project in what became an illustrious career: he went on to build over 140 golf courses world-wide.

By Christian Science Reading Room OASIS; A situation or place preserved from surrounding unpleasantness; a refuge: an oasis of serenity amid chaos. (American Heritage Dictionary) A Christian Science Reading Room is a type of oasis. The public is welcome to come and read - the Bible, the weekly newspaper the Christian Science Monitor, or listen to peaceful music or people telling how they had spiritual healings, or pray, or just be quiet with your thoughts.

Recently at Islington Golf Club Over the past two years, the club has invested in its infrastructure with a number of projects: a new pond, a new irrigation system, and new sub-surface drainage for the greens. The golf club held a contest to name their new pond. Because of the property’s history, three members proposed “Appleby Pond”. In a vote held August 14th, that name was the overwhelming choice of their members.

It also provides the opportunity to discuss with friendly librarians how to deal with any problem by using a spiritual approach. Librarians can tell of situations of their own that have been resolved through prayer alone. There are also weekly and monthly magazines, full of articles and testimonies of healing that demonstrate the power of prayer. These are available for sale, or one can sit and read them in big comfy chairs.

In Genesis I, the Bible says that God created everyone in His image and likeness, and that He saw everything He had made, and “behold, it was very good.” This is a basis for prayer in Christian Science. It is called Christian “Science” because it illustrates the healing laws of God, as demonstrated in the career of Christ Jesus,

Protection In A Time Of Critical Illness Did you know? 1 in 4 Canadians has some form of heart disease and 80% exhibit at least one risk factor for developing heart disease! 40,000 to 50,000 Canadians suffer a stroke each year and there are over 300,000 stroke survivors! 2 in 5 Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime!

Heart Attack Loss of Limbs Stroke Loss of Speech Life-threatening Cancer Major Organ Transplant Major Organ Failure on Waiting List Alzheimer’s Disease Aortic Surgery Benign Brain Tumor Blindness Motor Neuron Disease (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease) Burns Coma Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Multiple Sclerosis Occupational HIV Infection Deafness Heart Valve Replacement Paralysis Parkinson’s Disease Kidney Failure (End Stage Renal Disease) Bacterial Meningitis Aplastic Anemia Loss of Independent Existence

If you became critically ill, how would you pay your bills? Do you have enough money saved to cover your mortgage and household expenses? What about your medical costs? Thanks to advancements in medical science, there is a very good chance you would recover from a serious illness. But recovery costs money. And the significant, usually unexpected costs often come at a time when your income is cut off or drastically reduced. Thankfully, there is a plan available to support your lifestyle if you get sick. It’s called Critical Illness Insurance and it’s designed to help you cover the unexpected costs spent treating and coping with a critical illness. Here is how Critical Illness Insurance can protect you: After being diagnosed with one of 24 or more specific critical conditions and after surviving a designated waiting period (30 days in most cases), Critical Illness Insurance can provide you with the funds you need to ease the burden of a life-altering illness. Typically, your benefits are paid in a lump sum and can range from $25,000 to $2,000,000, depending on the coverage you choose.

Always be sure to meet with a qualified agent who will review your financial and insurance requirements and then present you with options that best suit your needs.

If you’re diagnosed with a critical illness, you deserve the best medical advice available. That’s why many Critical Illness Insurance policies also incorporate the Best Doctors® feature, providing you with rapid access to over 50,000 doctors recognized as the best by top specialists.

Most policies offer a “return of premium” option on surrender, expiry or death. Critical Illness Insurance lets you purchase an option to recover a significant or full portion of your premium outlay, if your policy expires without paying a Critical Illness Insurance benefit. If death occurs prior to the expiry of the policy without a claim having been made, a significant or full portion of the premium will be returned. There are also provisions for partial payouts if you’re diagnosed with certain non-critical conditions. Typically, Critical Illness Insurance should provide coverage for the following conditions. Plans vary from company to company and can range considerably in price depending on the coverage and term chosen. Some conditions and limitations apply; see your insurance agent for full details. If you are diagnosed with one of the following conditions and you survive a specified waiting period (30 days in most cases), you will receive a lump sum payment to use however you decide.

Condominium Act Review: Stage One Findings Report By Laurel Broten, MPP Etobicoke-Lakeshore

The Condominium Act is provincial legislation governing the rights and responsibilities of condominium owners, developers, corporations and boards of directors. It establishes a number of protections for condominium buyers and owners.

The Condominium Review Stage One Findings Report combines feedback that has been gathered, commencing in September 2012 when the Ontario government launched a comprehensive review of the Condominium Act, from public information sessions across the province, an innovative residents’ panel, stakeholder roundtables (including owner associations, developers, property managers, lawyers and others) and hundreds of letters and emails, including formal submissions.

Condominiums have become an increasingly important part of our housing mix in Ontario – and where many Ontarians have chosen to live. Significant changes have impacted the condo industry since the Condominium Act was last examined. The current Act does not reflect major changes that have taken place in the housing market.

The report summarizes the issues and proposed solutions that we have heard through these channels. In Stage Two, experts in condominium issues will review the report and the public comments that it generates. These experts will then bring forward options and recommendations for updating the Act. The Ontario government is committed to modernizing the Condominium Act and the governance and management of condominiums in Ontario. We want to take the time needed to “get this right” – the issues are complex and affect Ontario homeowners.

Over one million Ontarians live in condominiums today, and that number is increasing. Condominiums now represent half of all new homes built; many did not exist when the Condominium Act came into effect. Condominium owners and residents now include more seniors, first-time homebuyers and renters. The Ontario government has undertaken the modernization of the Condominium Act, ensuring that it includes, and better protects, buyers and owners. We have engaged with owners, condominium boards, property managers, developers and others in a full consultation process that allowed interested parties to have a chance to contribute their ideas and recommendations.

On another note, with regards to an issue that is not part of the legislation that will be introduced to modernize the Condominium Act, I am aware and understand that one of the issues that affects the condominium community is property tax.

On January 24, 2013, Canada’s Public Policy Forum (PPF) released a report presenting the findings from Stage One of a three-part public engagement process aimed at updating Ontario’s Condominium Act.

In my Broten Bulletin published in the Humber Happenings Winter Issue 2011, I wrote that “A separate property tax class for condominiums will enable municipalities to set a different property tax rate for condos, in recognition of their unique characteristics. This is a necessity given the rise in condos being built throughout Ontario.” During the fall 2011 provincial election campaign, I reiterated my support for “fair taxation for condominium owners”, which would allow municipalities this flexibility. This issue will be examined in the mandate ahead.

The report identifies five areas that Ontario’s condominium community wants to address in proposals to update the Act: Governance Dispute resolution Financial management Consumer protection Qualifications of condominium managers

We continue to look forward to a new Condominium Act which reflects the needs of condominium owners and will continue Ontario’s leadership in this important area.
