SING IT OUT

Money will help launch website, host conference BY DAVID FLEISCHER

It’s getting easier to be artsy in York Region, thanks to a $185,000 grant from the Trillium Foundation. The provincial grant, to be spread over three years, will be used to launch a new arts-themed website and bring a two-day conference to the region in November. “The arts sparks dialogue, helps us talk to each other and opens doors for us,” the foundation’s Savi Singh told the crowd at a launch event hosted by the Arts Council of York Region at Markham’s Seneca College campus Thursday. Launching within the month, yorkscene.com is a collaboration between York Region, the council and Metroland Media Group, parent company of York Region Media Group. “It will be a significant boost to the arts and culture community, raising awareness and appreciation of, as well as demand for, our diverse array of cultural assets,” See CUDDY, page 8.

JP qualifications come under fire BY JOE FANTAUZZI

jfantauzzi@yrmg.com

A fight is brewing over the qualifications of justices of the peace, who have the power to decide bail and impose sweeping bans on information presented in public courtrooms. Sault Ste. Marie Liberal MPP David Orazietti has proposed private member’s legislation to require JPs, who make decisions about individuals freedoms, liberties and complex legal matters, to hold a law degree. But the legislation proposed by Mr. Orazietti and the method by which it has been brought forward concerns the Association of Justices of the Peace. The group suggests the proposed

requirement that JPs be lawyers is “unnecessary” and “unwarranted”. The role of justice of the peace has changed dramatically in recent decades, Mr. Orazietti said in an interview. The legislation would create two tiers of justices of the peace: a presiding JP, who would hold a law degree and make decisions about complex legal issues, and an administrative JP. Justices of the peace are not required to hold a law degree and can impose fines, deny bail and mete out jail sentences. Current JPs, including the 18 who work in York Region, would not be affected by the legislation, according to Mr. Orazietti.

But despite creating a new tier of JP — one that requires more qualifications — the legislation should not result in increased costs to the system, Mr. Orazietti said. Rather, efficiencies could be found, he added. The annual salary for an Ontario JP is $120,652, according to Mr. Orazietti. By comparison, in Alberta and Quebec, which both have multiple JPs classes, the annual salary for full-time JPs is $110,000. But Mr. Orazietti refused to tie potential efficiencies to speculation about salaries. While private members’ bills rarely get See JPs, page 8.

WELLNESS: We’re destroying valuable source of vitamins, minerals: Stephenson

BY TERESA LATCHFORD

tlatchford@yrmg.com

Your back yard is your salad bowl. Newmarket’s Karen Stephenson admits her friends and family gave her some questionable looks when she began educating them on what can be included in your diet. “We have been conditioned that weeds need to be destroyed,” she said. “The fact is, we have been removing a food source that offers vitamins and minerals.” With the job market still reeling from the recession, more people seeking financial assistance and more clients needing the local food pantry, it doesn’t make sense to kill plants that could make the food system more stable right here at home, she said. “The word ‘weed’ seems to have this negative connotation associated with it,” she added. “When I find a patch of edible weeds, I cultivate, work around and embrace it.” People need to be open-minded because there is an incredible amount of wild edible plants that have been labeled as weeds that have nutritional value, she said. Ms Stephenson is a writer, but her passion for wild edible food has led her to enrol in a herbal pharmacy education program. Before you pick these plants, you have to be 100 per cent sure in identification, she stressed, adding some of the edibles have nasty cousins that could make you ill.

Think of weeds as food source

STAFF PHOTO/MIKE BARRETT

Karen Stephenson extols the health benefits of weeds. There are plenty of reasons to learn more about wild edibles — they are free, genetically stronger than other food, most are drought

resistant, most are more nutritious than hybridized store produce and you get exercise by picking your own.

The local resident held her first group walk during the annual Spiritfest event at the Sharon Temple National Historic Site yesterday.

For more wild edibles, recipes or help identifying a plant, visit ediblewildfood. com

GO WILD IN YOUR BACK YARD Here are five common wild edibles that can be found locally: Alfalfa: An overlooked wonder food containing vitamins such as trace elements of B17 said to help prevent cancer, vitamins K, C and E as well as copper and iron. Identified by clusters of 10 to 20 purple flowers and three-part leaves scattered along the stem. The leaves and young shoots can be eaten raw or cooked and can be dried to make teas or soups. The seeds can be ground into powder and mixed into baked goods

to improve nutrition. Broadleaf plaintain: This perennial plant packs a punch with vitamin C and all of the Bs, calcium and magnesium. It is identified by its green, oval to egg-shaped leaves that grow in a rosette nature and long, pointed green flowers grow from the base containing seeds. The entire plant is edible, although the leaves are bitter. Blanching before adding them to a salad softens the leaves. They can be frozen for later use in sautés, soups or stews.

Chickweed: Is a small plant that boasts vitamin A, B and C and calcium, magnesium, iron and selenium. It is a common plant with small, white, starshaped flowers and oval leaves with pointed tips.

One handful of the leaves contain more than the required vitamin A daily intake. It can be identified by its dusty look when in a large patch and light green diamond leaves that are pale on the underside. It produces tiny green flowers in clusters.

your family nutrition during winter.

The leaves are best added to a salad or sandwich. When adding the plant to a cooked dish, stems and flowers can also be used.

Fans of collards, kale and spinach will like this plant, which can be added to salads, smoothies and juices, but should be eaten in small quantities when raw due to its oxalic acid levels.

Leaves are spoon-like and fleshy and have a distinctive reddish stem.

Lambs quarters: The annual wild edible that tastes earthy, similar to chard, is found in sunny areas with poor soil.

Cooking removes the acid, making it perfect to steam to eat or freeze to provide

Purslane: Can be eaten as a cooked vegetable or sprinkled in salads, soups or any dish as it contains Omega-3 levels equivalent to fish and has seven times the vitamin E of spinach.

You must be careful about identifying this plant as its cousin, the hairy-stemmed spurge, is poisonous. The easiest way to tell the difference is to snap the stem. If there is milky sap, stay away from it.

The chance to meet a prince might come around once in a lifetime. But Newmarket’s Dennis and Greta Cutting have met Prince Charles twice in previous years. “He is very gracious,” the great-grandmother of nine said. “He was so nice and so ordinary. He spoke naturally.” Last month, Mr. and Mrs. Cutting were invited to the Diamond Jubilee celebration in Toronto to commemorate the War of 1812 with the Prince of Wales and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. Mr. Cutting served as a sergeant paratrooper in the 1st airborne division of the British forces during the Second World War. While third time is usually a charm, the Cuttings didn’t get to chat with the prince this time. “He was supposed to come around and inspect the uniforms,” Mrs. Cutting said. “But it seemed they were in a rush. No matter, I’ve met him before. I really wanted to see (the Duchess of Cornwall).” In 1994, the Cuttings traveled to the Netherlands for the 50th anniversary of D-Day. Prior to Mr. Cutting voluntarily jumping into the ceremony via parachute, the prince inspected his jumping gear. Mr. Cutting even made the mistake of forgetting he was in the presence of royalty and asked casually where Prince Charles’ mother was.

To read the full story, visit yorkregion.com “He just said, ‘Oh, she is over in your country (Canada) celebrating’, without missing a beat,” Mr. Cutting said. “He never made you feel out of place. He was normal.” The Cuttings were swept away by the buildup and formality of the ceremony last month. The couple received a royal embossed invitation and a phone call from the House of Commons. “This is my prize,” Mrs. Cutting said, pulling out the official invitation, still in its envelope. She plans to get the invitation framed and add it to her collection of photographs on the mantle. “Getting all the letters was so exciting,” she said. “It was all Earth shattering.” Mr. Cutting first encountered the royal family in 1945. After the war, he was presented to King George VI. “He thanked me for what I did,” Mr. Cutting said, remembering more than 10,000 paratroopers served and 2,000 made it out alive. Mr. Cutting was part of the parachute brigade dropped in North Africa and southern Italy in 1943. In September 1944, the division took part in Operation Market Garden, where paratroopers landed about 100 kilometres behind German lines and fought in the Battle of Arnhem.

Community comes together to help family of ducks This spring has been a difficult time for wildlife around Aurora, especially ducks. Coyotes, foxes and hawks are among the predators seen in the neighbourhood. A neighbour, who has fed ducks every day for years, noticed he has only one female coming for corn. This clever duck hid her nest well and hatched her brood safely.

But the high fence and condominium walls that keep them safe from predators also leaves them no access to food or water. Our superintendent, Don Burke, found feeding instructions online and the condo dwellers graciously consented to share their common area of lawn, while the neighbour continues to supply corn. We are all waiting for the young ducklings to grow up safely in their condo home and fly away to fend for themselves.

Protests shine spotlight on skewed priorities W

hen I heard about the student protests in Montreal, I swallowed the line that Quebec’s pampered youth pay lower fees than those in other parts of Canada, but aren’t aware education costs money. And then I went to Quebec. There, I heard a different story. After weeks of demonstrations, clearly something more profound is going on. Protesters are forcing us to confront a crucial question: What is government for? Governing is about priorities. Students can’t help but notice they aren’t high on the list. Governments across Canada have no qualms about investing vast amounts of money to exploit “natural resources”, yet they all but ignore the most precious, our children. Young people will take charge long after current leaders are gone and they’ll also be stuck with the ecological, social and economic costs of the decisions we make today. The increasing challenge of getting a post-secondary education isn’t the only issue motivating people to take to the streets of Montreal. On April 22, Earth Day, 300,000 went outside to celebrate nature. On May 22, tens of thousands

David Suzuki spontaneously mobilized to oppose the draconian measures enacted to stop the student protests. The Montreal protesters are drawing attention to a growing trend: governments often skew decisions in favour of short-term priorities, often for industrial interests. To promote those priorities, government, industry and their supporters try to stifle discussion around the real issues and demonize those who press for change or question the status quo. So, because Al Gore lives in a big house (even though he’s worked at being “carbon-neutral”), he’s labelled a hypocrite, leading anti-environmentalists to make the illogical leap that we should, therefore, ignore or

deny the science of climate change. This advancement of logical fallacy reached new lows with a blunder by the Heartland Institute, a U.S. climate change-denying organization. The institute launched a billboard campaign implying because the Unabomber, Fidel Castro and Charles Manson believe in climate change, those who agree with the scientific evidence for global warming must also be tyrants, madmen and murderers. You could just as easily, and as wrongly, conclude the opposite on the basis Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway July 22, is a climate change denier who referenced Heartland Institute “experts” in his manifesto. Heartland aborted its campaign because of massive public outrage and because funders and supporters tried to distance themselves from the organization. But the episode was another demonstration of attempts to deflect rational discussion of important issues such as global warming. And, if even tyrants, madmen, and murderers get it, why don’t our politicians? The Occupy movement also questions priorities, especially those regarding the pro-corporate agendas of many

governments. Corporations are not people, but they have similar rights and generate vast amounts of money to invest in budding politicians and lobby groups that help sidetrack important discussions. This sidetracking tactic also pops up with the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project, especially when it comes to First Nations’ concerns. Many coastal and northern communities are desperate for jobs and economic development. Enbridge is offering incentives, including employment, yet coastal First Nations realize some things are more important than money. Why aren’t we all getting that? As Canada’s government axes programs and organizations that inform us about the environment and climate change, guts environmental protection measures and shovels money to promote fossil fuel interests while wilfully ignoring urgent calls from scientists, students, First Nations, and tens of thousands of citizens, it’s up to all of us to listen and join the conversation.

Cuddy to speak at conference From page 1.

council executive director Nancy Bodi said. The revamped site is designed to be a comprehensive source of arts event and marketing information. “As much as our mandate is to be a dominant provider of news and information in York Region, we also feel it’s necessary to make a positive difference in the communities we serve and part of that is arts and culture,” York Region Media Group automotive, real estate and community development manager Neil Moore said. But that’s only one of the two unprecedented initiatives cited by Ms Bodi. The other is the second annual Arts Exposed Conference, set to take place at the college over two days in November. Keynote speakers such as Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy, journalist Chantal Hebert and National Ballet School executive director Jeff Melanson will discuss opportunities for growing the local arts and culture scene. The Pan Am Games are set to take place across the GTA in 2015, including events in Markham, and will be a major event around which the arts community can rally.

For more information on the conference, visit artsexposed.ca and keep your eyes open for the new yorkscene.com

Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti and Pan Am Games CEO Ian Troop are expected to speak to that issue. The keynote speaker at the inaugural conference, which took place in April 2011, was Creative Class expert Richard Florida, a professor at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. Tourism and Culture Minister and Markham-Unionville MPP Michael Chan was also on hand to talk about the “competitive, creative community right here in York Region”, the funding helps foster. “What better place to celebrate than right here in my hometown?” he said. Local singer Jully Black, who joked she lived close enough to rollerblade to the gig, concluded the launch, regaling the crowd in the college’s atrium with several songs, including her hit version of Seven Day Fool.

passed, Mr. Orazietti has had success in the past. His private member’s bill banning smoking in cars with children was adopted by the government in 2009 and measures of another bill calling for increased protection and transparency for cellphone users have been attached to a bill now before the provincial legislature. While the JPs believe a move to modernize the justice system is positive, more research into their role and perhaps more consultation may have resulted in a different approach, Association of Justices of the Peace spokesperson and counsel James Morton said. While Mr. Orazietti said he would be happy to hear from the JPs as the legislation winds its way through the legislature, Mr. Morton suggested it may not be that simple. JPs are bound by clear restrictions about speaking publicly, Mr. Morton said, noting that is why he — a lawyer and academic — is speaking on behalf of the association. The association believes the costs of administering justice would likely rise if the legislation is passed, Mr. Morton said. However, some defence lawyers back Mr. Orazietti’s proposal. “With the greatest of respect to the many hard-working and capable justices of the peace out there, it’s about time,” said Edward Prutschi of Adler Bytensky Prutschi Shikhman, who practises in Newmarket.

Everyone knows someone who has been touched by cancer, from children to senior citizens. Children at Northern Montessori School in Newmarket have one among them and were inspired to help. For the past two years, the school has hosted a loonie-toonie drive to support GetRecD, a local organization that directly supports cancer patients. “When kids are aware, they go that extra bit to help,” school founder and director Cheryl Minassian said. “Kids are warm and like to give. They become all encompassing when they take on a cause.” To date, the children have raised about $800, which will help purchase laptops and pillows for chemotherapy rooms at the Stronach Regional Cancer Centre at Southlake and Princess Margaret Hospital. The laptops allow patients to surf, bank or visit social media sites while undergoing treatment. GetRecD donates pillows decked out with the GetRecD shamrock logo because it is a little piece of comfort. “Pillows are a small piece of home,” GetRecD founder and Newmarket resident Laura Daly said. “When they put their heads down, we send them good luck for their fight. We want them to know someone out there supports them and cares for them.” Cancer does not discriminate based on age, so the organization wanted to help support young adults going through treatment. “We’re seeing a lot of young adults with a

GetRecD also provides cancer patients with gift cards for gas, groceries, house cleaning and entertainment evenings. “There is so much stress and sadness associated with the disease,” Ms Daly said. “We’re all about the life experience moments.” Ms Daly also prepares battle baskets, filled with items to assist during treatment, such as peppermint candies to help with nausea, body cream and vitamin E to prevent scars from radiation and books and games to help pass time. “This isn’t a pity grab,” she said. “These people are thinking of their own battles and sometimes might forget about getting gas on the way home from the hospital.” Because Ms Daly has dedicated her life to fighting cancer, she is nominated for a 2012 Me to We award. This year, Me to We will honour six everyday Canadians dedicated to making a difference in the lives of others by thinking we before me. You can vote in six categories, including children, youth, social action, in the community youth, educators and free the children efforts. Winners will receive a $5,000 donation to their charity.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRES MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDY YONGE STREET AQUIFER WELL CAPACITY RESTORATION PROJECT The Regional Municipality of York (York Region) has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study to identify a solution to restore the full permitted capacity of York Region’s wells within the Yonge Street Aquifer area (see map), while maintaining the long-term protection of York Region’s groundwater supply for the Towns of Aurora, East Gwillimbury and Newmarket. Restoration of the reduced well capacity will form part of the ongoing responsible management of the Yonge Street Aquifer.

The Regional Municipality of York

Some of York Region’s wells operating under the Yonge Street Aquifer “Permit to Take Water” cannot currently deliver their maximum permitted water takings and/or are increasing in age and require more frequent maintenance. This groundwater exploration study will examine the groundwater resources in the study area, assess the performance of existing wells and identify a practical solution to recapture lost well capacity. Potential options to address the reduced well capacity include doing nothing, rehabilitating existing wells or drilling new wells. This Class EA study is being conducted in accordance with Schedule B of the Municipal Engineer’s Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, and as amended in 2011). Residents, agencies and other stakeholders are encouraged to provide input and comment on this Class EA study by attending consultation events or by contacting York Region directly with information, comments or questions. York Region will be hosting Public Information Centres (PICs) for this project to discuss the study background, information about the municipal wells and potential options to address capacity issues. The PICs will be arranged as an open house, all those with an interest in the project are urged to attend. The PICs will be held in the following locations: Town of East Gwillimbury Date: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 Location: East Gwillimbury Sports Complex Address: 1914B Mount Albert Road, Town of East Gwillimbury Time: 6 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Town of Aurora Date: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 Location: Aurora Town Hall Address: 100 John West Way, Town of Aurora Time: 6 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

If you require accommodation to fully participate in this meeting, please contact York Region at 905-830- 4444 ext. 5027 to advise of any speciﬁc requirements.

Website covers York’s music scene BY JEREMY GRIMALDI

jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

A pair of local musicians has launched a website focusing on York Region’s music scene. The site, musiclynk.com, is just more than a month old, but Aurora’s Pat Mete and Newmarket’s CK Armstrong have already seen some traffic, often attracting more than 100 people per day. The site features artist profiles, events, interviews and reviews posted by Mr. Mete, Mr. Armstrong and other music enthusiasts. “We will be going out to shows and featuring bands and artists, but we are also encouraging others to post anything they would like or even album reviews,” said Mr. Mete, an acoustic guitarist. So far, about 120 artist profiles and hundreds of events at venues around York Region have been added to the site. “We are pretty excited,” Mr. Mete said. “Our primary goal is to create awareness about local artists and we have got to this level without any advertising and just by word of mouth.” In the future, the men hope to earn money with the website, but Mr. Mete said it will always be free for artists to use and post profiles.

or one Newmarket resident, playing music is more than a combination of riffs, chords and melodies. Chuck Ander, known as Freedom Chuck, is a regular performer at Books, Cafe and Things on Main Street. “A song is not just a song,” he said. “For many of us, a song is a memory or a feeling and hearing that song makes someone feel good. And that’s why I play.” Whether it’s a country, rock, blues or folk song you want to hear, this guitarist likely knows it. The musician taught himself to play guitar as a teenager more than 45 years ago and now has more than 1,000 songs in his repertoire.

For him, performing is about what the audience wants to hear. Some of the more popular requests include songs from The Beatles, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. “When someone requests it, the song becomes new again,” he said. “Someone wants to hear it and their reaction is new.” He has been playing regularly at a local cafe for a couple of years and has learned the musical choices of some regulars. “As an artist, I’m able to do something for them,” he said. “In a small way, I enrich their lives in that moment.”

Mustangs’ Benn rises to new heights BY JOHN CUDMORE

jcudmore@yrmg.com

Ward Benn simply keeps soaring higher. The Grade 12 student at St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic High School in Aurora turned in a personal best vault of 3.9 metres Wednesday to capture the Central Region senior boys pole vault title in Oshawa. It is a performance that puts the 18-yearold Aurora resident into the conversation for a medal at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations track and field championships starting Thursday in Brockville. Benn outduelled Dean Heliotis of Barrie’s Innisdale Invaders, securing the victory with a successful second jump, while Heliotis missed all three of his attempts. In two previous meets, Heliotis got the upper hand on Benn. “I’ve improved a lot this year with more training and getting more jumps in,” said Benn, 18, who will attend York University to study business administration in the fall and likely turn to the decathlon. “I’ve been (vaulting) well in practice and it came together.” Despite setting a meet record at the York Region championships in mid-May at 3.53 metres, Benn knew there was room for improvement. “I wasn’t performing as well at that meet,” he conceded. “I didn’t have the best warmup and had just changed poles.” Although Benn missed out on the Central record at four metres, Mustangs track and field coach Sue Deighan thinks his best is yet to come. “I think by OFSAA, he’ll be over four metres,” predicted Deighan, who convinced the former power thrower to try pole vault in Grade 9. “It’s probably his passion and drive to improve. He’s more focused in the past two years.” Benn knows the areas he needs to polish prior to Saturday afternoon’s pole vault competition. He seems to be on the right track, judging by his recent performance. “I have to get inverted more and stay inverted,” he said. “I was coming off the pole early and losing potential for height. It’s hard to fix all at once.”

It will be Benn’s fourth OFSAA appearance. “Last year, I jumped 3.4 and came 16th,” he noted. “A medal would be awesome. Last year, 3.9 was second place at OFSAA.” Younger brother Ross won the midget boys pole vault title at 2.8 metres. As usual, it’ll be a busy couple of days for the Freemantle clan trackside in Brockville. Brothers Alex and Ben Freemantle made certain of that by claiming victories in the 800 metres in their respective age categories Wednesday at the Central Region championships. Alex captured the senior boys title in one minute, 57.25 seconds to qualify for his second event at the provincial championships. He also placed third in the 1,500 metres. Meanwhile, Ben claimed the midget boys title in 2:04 after a second-place showing Tuesday in the 1,500. Teammate Alec Pichelli also made noise, claiming second place in the midget boys 200 metres for his third qualifying berth at OFSAA. A day earlier, Pichelli won the 100 metres and was third in the 100 hurdles. Crusaders high jumper Aloysha Popov cleared 1.85 metres to win the junior boys high jump. The top four finishers in each event qualified for the OFSAA championships.

Cru girls OFSAA-bound The Sacred Heart Crusaders are the No. 11 seed for the OFSAA girls rugby 3-A/4-A championships, which kick off Monday in Ottawa. The Crusaders defeated the Aurora Eagles 5-0 in the senior girls Tier 1 rugby final Wednesday in Markham to claim a ticket to the 16-team tournament. Sacred Heart opens the three-day event against the sixth-seeded Malvern Collegiate Institute Black Knights.

SAC lineman hot item Watch for St. Andrew’s College Saints left tackle Peter Godber to be one of the most

ship offers from Baylor University and Rice University, according to Saints head coach Len Gurr. Both schools are in Texas. The six-foot, four-inch 290-pound Godber participated in the International Bowl high school showcase game in Austin earlier this off-season as a member of Team World. He was the lone Grade 11 player to crack the international team roster. The Toronto resident succeeded Eddie Meredith at left tackle for the SAC squad that advanced to the Metro Bowl final last season. Meredith accepted a full ride to Boston College two years ago.

Hot wheels Drew Davidson of the St. Maximilian Kolbe Mustangs rode to victory in the elite open boys category of the YRAA mountain bike cross-country championships Wednesday at Ravenshoe Forest. Mulock Ravens’ Bradley Shostak won the junior boys title. The Bill Crothers Colts won the overall team title.

Cole Young scored twice as the Bill Crothers Colts edged the Sir William Mulock Ravens 7-6 in the YRAA field lacrosse title game Wednesday at Keswick High School. Wyatt Pickrell and Colton Wood both scored twice for Mulock, which lost in the final for the second straight year. The Colts doubled the Sutton Sabres 8-4 in semifinal play earlier in the day, while the Ravens received a hat trick from Tyson Bruce and two goals from Bobby Quinn in a 7-3 triumph over the Aurora Eagles. The Colts will represent York Region at the OFSAA 3-A/4-A championships June 7 and 8 in Brampton. Taking notes ... The Bill Crothers Colts captured the YRAA girls Tier 1 soccer title with a 2-0 victory over the Newmarket Raiders Thursday ... Crothers also captured the Tier 1 varsity baseball title with a 4-1 triumph over the St. Joan of Arc Thunder.
