Vol. 40  No. 3   March 2003

 

 

Imagine there’s no Heaven

It’s easy if you try

No Hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today

Imagine there’s no countries

It isn’t hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace

 

You may say I’m a dreamer

But I’m not the only one

I hope someday you’ll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed and hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world

 

You may say I’m a dreamer

But I’m not the only one

I hope someday you’ll join us

And the world will live as one

 

 

 

President's Update

Greetings !

 

It seems there is never a day where we do not hear of some fraud, which has been committed on an innocent victim somewhere. Indeed, it is a big underground business. I thought I would share a few tips, which I have gathered from both colleagues and clients alike. 

 

The next time you order cheques, have only your initials (instead of first names) and last name put on them. If someone takes your cheque book, they will not know if you sign your cheques with just your initials or your first name, but your bank will know how you sign your cheques! Where possible, put your work phone number on your cheques, instead of your home phone number. If you have a P.O. Box, use that instead of your home address. If you do not have a P.O. Box, again where possible, use your work address.

 

Never have your Social Insurance number printed on your cheques. You can manually write it on if it is necessary, but if it is printed on your cheques, ANYONE can get it. 

 

Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine. Do both sides of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to call and cancel. Keep the photocopy in a safe place.

 

One such person, whom we will refer to as “Joe”, had his wallet stolen recently. Within a week, the thief ordered an expensive monthly cell phone package, applied for a VISA credit card, had a credit line approved to buy a Gateway computer, received a PIN number to change information on line, and more. 

 

In case this happens to you or someone you know, here is some critical information to limit the damage. We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately.  However the key is having the toll free numbers and your card numbers handy, so you know whom to call. Keep these where you can find them easily. File a report immediately in the jurisdiction where it was stolen, as this proves to credit providers that you were diligent and is a first step toward an investigation (if there ever is one).

 

But, here is what perhaps is most important: Call the three national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and Social Insurance number. Joe was advised by a bank that called to tell him an application for credit was made over the internet in his name. Having a fraud alert published, means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit. By the time Joe was advised to do this, almost two weeks after the theft, all the damage was done. 

 

There are records of all the credit checks initiated by the thief’s purchases, none of which were known by Joe before placing the alert. After that, no additional damage was done as the thieves were stopped in their tracks. 

 

The numbers are:

Equifax: 1-800-525-6285

Experian (formerly TRW): 1-888-397-3742

Trans Union: 1-800-680-7289

Pass this information along.  It could really help someone you care about.

The 2003 Markland Homes Association Scholarship Awards

 

In 2003 two graduating classes of students, also referred to as the “double cohort”, will graduate from each high school in Ontario. This unprecedented tide of students will be applying for limited placements in Colleges and Universities across Canada. The entrance requirements will be higher than they have ever been. Competition for spaces will be fierce and the cost of tuition will continue to outpace inflation.

This year only, in recognition of the extraordinary number of graduating students, the Markland Homes Association has budgeted for an additional scholarship. We will be awarding $1,000 scholarships to three graduating high school students from the Markland community who:

 

a) demonstrate outstanding and consistent outreach to their community; and,

b) have been accepted for entrance to, and enrolled in, an accredited Canadian University or Community College in the coming year. 

 

Expressions of interest are to be submitted to the Blinder of the Markland Wood Award Committee by the May 31st, 2003. At that time, the Applicant should provide to the Award Committee:

a) An essay, written by the student (up to two typed pages), describing his or her community leadership involvement. The essay should include: insight into personal motivation to undertake the activity; what has been accomplished; what meaningful contribution has been made to the community, and what she or he has learned from the experience.

b) Two letters of support or confirmation from the community group(s), or individuals, who have been the focus of the student’s involvement.

 

By July 31st, 2003 the student must provide a copy of the student’s letter of acceptance and enrolment in an accredited Canadian University or Community College.

 

For further information, please call one of the directors on the Board of your Markland Homes Association.

 

All completed submissions should be forwarded to:

The Markland Homes Association,

PO Box 11, Station “A”

Etobicoke, Ontario

Attn: The Blinder for the Award Committee

 

 

 

Saying Goodbye

 

Dear Our Valued Customers:

We hope you all understand why we did not say goodbye. Tears were easy to flow with the thought of saying goodbye to each of you because it was extremely difficult to leave. It was such an emotional stage in our lives. Since some of you were not only our customers, you were our friends.

We want to thank you for supporting us for 22 years of business. We will always carry those memories in our heart.

Thank you so so much,

 

Manuel Pelayo                                     Raquel Pelayo

 

 

From Tom’s Desk

February 2003 seemed to fly by this year. It has also been one of the coldest months I can remember. However, the end of March brings the spring season, warmer weather and more people walking, running and playing. Soon the streets, schools and parks will have people involved in the many events that make Markland Wood a wonderful place to live.

 

It came to the attention of the Markland Homes Association that Toronto has allocated money and has plans to install a parking lot in the Millwood Park. The size and time of the installation are not yet finalized. The size of the parking lot, from the initial plan drawing, is approximately 80m x 25m (263ft x 82ft), which is almost as long as a soccer field and approximately half the width. It is to be located along Silverthorne Bush, with the entrance across from Burnt Log. This is really the only free space in the park that does not include a sports venue. I am against the installation of this parking lot for this reason and a few others. However, you should take a look for yourself and determine whether you are in favour of this parking lot. Contact us or place your concerns into the MHA box at the drug store.

 

There was a recent meeting regarding the pathway from Stoneglen to Silverthorn Collegiate Institute. I don’t want to put blame on Silverthorn C.I. and the students exclusively, but one of the major issues was vandalism of property along Stoneglen and other Markland Wood streets near the pathway. We don’t generally know who performs these acts of vandalism, but they must be stopped. Please, if you see any acts of vandalism by any person within Markland Wood, call the Police and the number listed below. The best way to prevent and/or stop these acts is to contact the Police immediately upon witnessing the act. Most of the time, a patrol car can be sent out quickly, if the act is in progress. If we can prevent one of these criminal acts, or better yet, catch someone in the act, then it may send a clear message that Markland Wood residents are to be taken seriously. You can also contact Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477) to remain anonymous.

 

Thanks,

Tom Napier VP-MHA

Letter from the Editor

I offer no apologies for giving John Lennon’s lyrics for the peace anthem “Imagine” exposure on this newsletter’s front cover. Read the words and then listen to the music as you read. The beauty of the message becomes more evident as the music plays. 

I have been editing this newsletter for several years now and have come to realize that another month has quickly dissolved before my very eyes. This month, however, is different, in that, by the time you read the next issue, a war may have exploded in a far away country, and thousands of innocent people in Iraq will no longer be sharing the life we so treasure and love. These are people just like us, young and old, men and women, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters and grandparents. When I first started to write this article, I was bursting with anger and frustration at those responsible for the “situation” the world finds itself in. But what can one say that hasn’t already been said so many times before. It just becomes so many words piled higher on the mound of empty rhetoric. 

It seems that the only thing that will stop this war is the voice of the people. I was so moved by the sight of the millions who came out to protest in the various capitals of the world. I believe there were only 80,000 in Toronto. Not a large number. I wasn’t among these people and feel ashamed because I should have been there.

Now, close your eyes and picture this scenario: a church bell rings in the distance and a person walks out of their front door, soon to be followed by others, meeting on the roads throughout Markland Wood, all walking along the many roads leading to the centre of Toronto, and as they pass through the various communities, the church bells in those communities also ring out, bringing still more people from their houses, businesses and places of worship. Slowly the trickle increases as they pick up more and more people. There are no placards, no political posturing, no songs and no speeches. Just a quiet procession of humans, young and old, men and women, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters and grandparents.

And we meet and stand at the hub of our city. We are different in so many ways, but all united by one desire, the desire to help save the lives of countless Iraqis in the coming war. People just like us.

Is this just a dream? You tell me.

 

Many years ago, I read a short story by Ray Bradbury, “A Sound of Thunder”. I wanted to reread it, but couldn’t find it at the library at short notice. A quick computer “Google search” and I found the whole story, which I was able to print and read that night.

I was always fascinated by the premise of the story, which involves time travel and the possible consequences of it (a common theme). The central characters in the story run a business offering the ultimate hunting experience; the opportunity to go back in time, millions of years, to bag a dinosaur, a Tyrannosaurus Rex. As they step into the time machine, the good guy has just been elected President and all will be fine in the world. The hunters understand that changing past events may alter the future, and so there are strict guidelines to the hunt. From previous trips the leaders know that a particular T. rex will die of natural causes, felled by a prehistoric tree, and they plan to have the customer kill it just before this occurs. Of course, things go terribly wrong. The dinosaur is killed, but, during a moment of panic, the customer strays from the electrically suspended path and, later, on the way home, he realizes he’s trodden on a butterfly. As they leave the machine and reenter their world, it’s evident that changes have indeed occurred. The language on the business sign is slightly different and, surprise, surprise, the bad guy has won the election. Life is forever altered and not for the better. 

How is it that such a small difference has managed to alter the future? Could our own future, hinge on such an apparently trivial alteration?

Well, back to the near past and a let’s compose a different story. The central character of this story, a lady in Florida responsible for redesigning the election ballots, which would result in the embarrassing chaos in the last US elections. Is this a chad I see before me. In a different past, this woman is gainfully employed elsewhere. Who knows what difference in the past produced a difference in her future, but let’s assume it was subtle. At sometime in her life, maybe in her childhood, someone was distracted by the beauty of a passing butterfly.  The result is a cascade of interconnecting events. Perhaps a chance meeting; a missed opportunity: another job: a different election system: a different outcome, and a change in all our futures. To me, this demonstrates how small acts, or the lack of action can have huge consequences for us all. Now, if a reasonable number of democratically minded people had turned up to vote in the last US election, the consequences of this type of mistake would have been diminished.

It was estimated by an independent group, the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate, that, in the last mid-term elections in the US, 39% of voting-aged citizens turned out to vote. In these elections Americans voted for Members of Congress and State and local officials. During this vote they elected a Governor in 36 of 50 states; all 435 members of the House of Representatives; and 34 of 100 members of the Senate. Two years later, in 2000, 51% of the vote turned out to give us today’s President. Ah, the glories of Democracy!  

PS: I have not bothered to check this story for accuracy, but considering the lies we are constantly told, I don’t see why you shouldn’t just take my word for it! 

Once again, the views expressed by this Editor should in no way be assumed to also be those of others in the Markland Homes Association.             

 

 

Down to Earth

 

Well, despite the cold, we all know in our heart of hearts that Spring will indeed spring and we will soon leave this …weather behind us! Is it just me, or has it been especially cold this winter?  The wonders of Nature have a way of showing themselves even inside a winter-clad house. We received an Amaryllis bulb as a Christmas present and after “unboxing “ it, we placed in on the front windowsill and left it to do its thing. The trick with these bulbs is to pot them up so that one third or more of the bulb remains above the surface of the soil. Just a touch of water is needed. Too much water is an invitation for the leaves to take off at the expense of the flowers; and forget the fertilizer. They don’t need that at this time, since all the energy they need for this year’s performance is already stored in the bulb. Hopefully, the swollen bud will soon show itself and then you can increase the water a little. Our bulb eventually produced a stunning display of four huge pink blooms that lasted for several weeks. I usually cut the stalk off and a second blooming sometimes follows. However, with this one, I decided to let the blooms go to seed and I’m going to try to produce my own new plants. It’ll be 4-5 years before I see any blooms. Will I have the patience to stick with it? Well, as this bulb was in full bloom, I discovered another Amaryllis that had bloomed last spring and which, after allowing the leaves to die back, I had placed on a shelf in the deeper recesses of the basement and, as one does, completely forgotten it! When these bulbs go dormant, they are not exactly attractive, and there is a temptation to toss them out. Don’t do it! They will return and reward your loyalty with a repeat showing, as this one now is for us. It really is a tiny miracle to see a brilliant green bud pushing itself up out of a mass of dry, shriveled brown leaves. Again, with just a little water to encourage it, it has produced two large flower spikes, each of which should produce four large flowers. I forget what colour it was, so there’s something else to look forward to.  What’s remarkable about these flowers is that they’re actually native to Central and South America.

After care: Treat these babies right and they’ll reward you year after year. Like so many things involving plants, don’t get too complicated. When the flowers are finished cut the stems to the base. By this time, the leaves should be done. Leave the bulb on the windowsill. Don’t overeater and fertilize occasionally with a dilute solution of any water-soluble product. Later in the year the leaves will start to look sad. Stop watering and the bulb will start to go into dormancy. Put it in the basement and forget about it. Sooner of later you’ll see those welcoming green buds and we’re off again! Isn’t Nature wonderful!    

 

School News

 

Millwood Junior School

 

February has continued to be cold outside, but inside Millwood everyone has been warmed by the special ways the students have expressed their appreciation for the teachers at our school. Classroom doors are adorned with hearts and notes from each individual student, expressing why their teacher is the best! Each class also prepared a gift for their teacher. The teachers and staff were treated to breakfast and lunch in the staff lunchroom by the parents of Millwood. Valentine’s Day turned out to be very special for everyone!

                For several weeks now the children have been participating in gymnastics classes in the gym. Everyone is very excited about using all the neat equipment – imagine being told to climb like a monkey!

Last month, the Grade 4 and 5 classes made a trip to Queen’s Park, as part of their Social Studies unit. It was a very educational experience. The students had the opportunity to debate, in the “House of Commons”, whether high school students should be allowed recess during their school day. The pros and cons turned out to be very interesting. Sorry, teenagers, “no recess” won by a slim margin – the students felt that high schoolers need to spend all their time studying.

After much research, the Grade 2 classes presented their animal research projects in the gym, one afternoon, for all the parents to come and view. Their hard work paid off – the displays about their favourite animal were amazing!

Thanks to several teachers at Millwood, the Silver Birch Club has started up for the Grade 5 students. In this club, once a week, one comes and reads fiction or non-fiction books during the lunch hour. It’s a fun way to spend time and expand your mind!

Everyone is looking forward to spring break, March 10 –14. Remember to keep an eye out for children out and about in the neighbourhood. Hopefully, spring will be out and about, too!  Larissa Bayrachny

 

 

 

 

 

Silverthorn Collegiate Institute

 

In February, the Student Activity Council organized a fun matchmaking event.  Every student in the school filled out a questionnaire on their personal preferences, and then the Matchmaker company tallied the results. For only a dollar, students could buy their results and find out who their true love and best friends should be! The event was very popular.

For Valentine’s Day, students could send their friends a beautiful rose and card for only $2.00. Prefects delivered well over a hundred roses, making it another successful student-run activity.

There were two entries from Silverthorn in the Kiwanis Music Festival, and both performed very well. All the hard effort of the musicians and music teachers paid off, with the concert band placing 3rd in the competition, earning an impressive score of 88%.     

SCI was proud to participate in the annual Sears Drama Festival. Thirty-three high schools across the GTA submitted performances for this competition. Our talented performers spent hours every day rehearsing for the big event, and the results were incredible. SCI put on two plays, “Crawling Arnold” and “Off Crooked Screwed,” the latter entirely composed, produced, and directed by Silverthorn students. The plays were performed on Valentine’s Day and were met with rave reviews.

The Senior Girls’ Volleyball team finished their regular season undefeated with a 5 – 0 record. They won their quarterfinal game against Kipling and then lost a close game to Martingrove in the semi-finals. This meant a 3rd place finish in their division. 

Our Senior Boys’ Basketball team travelled to Nova Scotia to participate in the prestigious Coal Bowl tournament. The boys played exceptionally well and placed 3rd.  All the players had a memorable time, and the team received several honours.
