Councillors debate party planning Some oppose hiring project manager for Aurora’s 150th By Jeremy Grimaldi

jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

Aurora council is divided on how to celebrate the town’s 150th anniversary. Some councillors, including Evelyn Buck, Chris Ballard and John Gallo, take exception to plans to spend about $70,000 of the $100,000 allocated for the festivities on a project manager to organize events and apply for related grants. The objections didn’t stop there, as councillors also complained about plans to spread events throughout the year and take $100,000 from council’s discretionary reserve fund, which comes from 10 per cent of the sale of Aurora Hydro. “There’s nothing wrong with having an excuse for a party,” Councillor Buck said. “I support that. But a 12-month celebration, with $70,000 going to a consultant to plan, is ridiculous. It’s the community’s celebration. Why shouldn’t they get to have a say in it? I think everyone would prefer one hell of a wingding on July 1 and all the money go to the party, rather than only $30,000.”

Aurora’s Kyle Welton, in the projection room at SilverCity Richmond Hill, won an international contest to create a feature film and plans to use the $100,000 prize to expand a short scene into a full-length movie.

Sexting filmmaker gets big break By ADAM McLEAN

amclean@yrmg.com

In a few days, local filmmaker Kyle Welton will board a plane to New York City to accept a prize that could help his career take flight. Recently, the writer, director and actor won a North American film contest called Bid Vision Empty Wallet for his project, The Etiquette of Sexting. Mr. Welton, who lives in Aurora, and his Unionville High School alumni pals, Avery Pearson and Adam Risbridger, submitted one filmed scene, along with a full-length screenplay of their yet-to-be-made film. The topical, romantic comedy dissects mod-

ern relationships and the trials, tribulations and social tools that are often part of today’s personal interactions. The contest’s judging panel, last month, selected the work by the three York Region natives out of a pool of entries from Canada and the United States. The top prize includes $100,000 worth of professional consulting, casting and location direction, as well as filming equipment from Canon to help turn their “big vision” into a fulllength feature film.

Mr. Welton, who directed the short scene and wrote the bulk of the script, said while winning a competition like this hasn’t entirely sunk in, he’s staying focused on the long road ahead to transform the opportunity into a quality product on the big screen. “This is huge for me, because unless your last name is Reitman or Cronenberg, these opportunities don’t often come around for directors,” he said. At 32, Mr. Welton has spent more than a decade on both sides of the camera. But lately, he has focused more of his artistic See WELTON, page 8.

BUSINESS: Auto parts manufacturer No. 18 on annual list

Magna among top companies

Magna International Inc. in Aurora has been named on the 11th annual list of Canada’s best 50 corporate citizens and Markhambased IBM Canada Inc. and Honda Canada Inc. are among the top foreign corporate citizens. The 2012 honours were announced Thursday by Corporate Knights, a Toronto-based media, research and financial products company focused on clean capitalism. Magna, at No. 18, joined the prestigious rankings, judged on criteria including, corporate transparency and the relative impact of carbon, water, waste and energy use. Other indicators include pension fund quality, board diversity, ratio of highest-paid executive to average worker pay and tax dollar generation, as well as sector-specific indicators such as renewable energy investments and respect for human rights. IBM and Honda met benchmarks that include Financial Post 500 listings and ranking among the top 10 per cent of 4,500 global companies, according to the Global Sustainability Research Alliance. The best corporate citizen for 2012 is The Desjardins Group, the largest co-operative financial group in Canada. With about $190 billion in assets, it employs more than 42,500 people. Some of the factors that helped Desjardins earn the top spot were its low CEO-

to-average worker pay ratio, formal linkage of executive compensation to the achievement of sustainability-related performance targets and strong gender diversity at the board level. Corporate Knights’ methodology for grading corporate citizenship is developed with financial support from Industry Canada and has helped define what it means to be a good corporate citizen — a company that fulfills its part of the social contract while innovating solutions to the pressing social and environmental challenges of our time. Provincially, 16 of the top 50 were from Ontario, 15 from Alberta, nine from Quebec, eight from British Columbia and two from Saskatchewan. “The best 50 corporate citizens are part of an emerging class of clean capitalists who harness the power of markets to make the world a better place,” Corporate Knights president Toby Heaps said. — Chris Traber

SCHOOL FUNDRAISING: Bake sale bonanza This chart shows the amount of money parents, students and teachers generated in 11 boards last year through fundraising for everything from crayons to SMART boards for their schools. The almost 800 schools took in more than $26 million through a range of events including bake sales, pizza days, auctions and dance-a-thons. That fundraising money is 21 per cent of the total of $125.5 million in extra revenue that the 11 boards brought in from all sources — known as school-generated funds.*

“The amount of extra monies that are being raised for school purposes is steadily increasing,” the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association stated. “The trend is undeniable.” Parents do have a role to play in actually augmenting the school budget, said Annie Kidder, executive director of People for Education, a parent-led advocacy group. But she believes the education system is taking advantage of parents’ willingness and ability to be involved, assuming they will always be there to put in that extra time and money. Many parents agree. School boards know parents will fundraise, said Oshawa dad Steve Rockbrune, who believes parents will work hard to give their

kids the best they can provide. “That’s why they put the squeeze on us.” Mr. Rockbrune was surprised when his daughter, who attends Harmony Heights Public School, came home at the start of the year with a note requesting donations of Kleenex and glue, basic classroom staples. Parents said drumming up dollars isn’t the most popular task. “Nobody really ever wants to take on the job of fundraising because it’s a lot of work,” said Catherine Scott, fundraising committee co-chairperson at Roch Carrier Elementary School in Ottawa. “And yet we need classroom resources; we need new technology; we need to keep our school

arents across Ontario are feeling unprecedented pressure to open their wallets for school fundraising as families shell out money for everything from crayons and Kleenex to computers and playground equipment. “Today, there’s a bigger burden than ever before,” Progressive Conservative education critic Lisa MacLeod said. “Parents are paying (more than) half a billion bucks out of their own pockets each year for essential learning tools.” Bake sales, car washes and pizza lunches generate tens of millions of dollars in fundraising that is supposed to enrich — not replace — public funding.

force behind the school’s success at fundraising. About 500 kids participate in the program, and on average it pumps $40,000 into the council’s revenue each year. The council also runs an annual dance-a-thon, diversity night and barbecue, which has allowed it to, among other things, build a main playground and an enclosed kindergarten play structure in the past seven years. In just one council meeting alone earlier this school year, the council approved $81,000 worth of items teachers requested for the classroom. The wish lists included: LCD-mounted projectors, Macintosh computers, iPads, iTunes gift cards, DVDs for the library, stacking cups, kidney tables and yoga kits for the primary students. Many parents say they are feeling the pinch with schools continually asking for more money. It can seem endless, said Greg Weiler, a father of two at the primary level and president for the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) in Waterloo. “I can’t think of a week where there isn’t some fundraising initiative going on. They are constant and frequent,” Mr Weiler said. “It puts an unrealistic expectation on parents and family and the community.” NDP education critic Peter Tabuns believes the government relies on parents to fundraise. “You almost think they quietly approve. This is a way of reducing the pressure on them for proper funding of education. Leave it to the parents. The parents will raise the money and won’t squawk about the fact that their school isn’t getting enough. Life goes on. But it means a lot of children get shortchanged.” The ETFO said school fundraising lets the provincial government “shirk” its responsibility to properly fund schools and puts pressure on everyone in the system. “The funds have to come from somewhere,” said Durham ETFO president Gerard O’Neill. “People have to go out and raise them.” Filling this funding gap often comes down to teachers, many of whom end up paying for essential classroom items, such as pencils and paper, out of their own pocket, Mr. O’Neill said.

Pop-up sales trend hits close to home BY CHRIS TRABER

ctraber@yrmg.com

The locations may not be always be attractive, but pop-up sales can save you a pretty penny. Also known as flash retail, the growing trend of one-time, short-term, deep discount liquidation sales has made inroads to York Region. During the winter, truckloads of Reebok branded merchandise was sold out of a cavernous Newmarket warehouse. After a few weeks of frenzied activity, the advertising billboards were replaced by leasing information. At a former Toronto condominium show-

room, a six-hour flash sale of Jason Wu fashions for Target had bargain-hungry buyers lined up in the middle of a February night. A savvy collaboration between the U.S. designer and Target, the retail giant preparing to invade Canada later this year, the popup event required security staff and a strict 10-minute shopping limit. Melding marketing parlance with sports metaphor, pop-up sales are like a run and gun offence, power play, a full court press — fast, furious and fun for the consumer. Aurora Chamber of Commerce executive director Judy Marshall has seen pop-up sales and hasn’t heard any complaints, she said, adding, “That’s not to say there aren’t any.”

David Allan, a partner with Glory Box, says the premise of pop-up sales is simple — find a location, truck in some merchandise and hold a huge sale. While quickie sales aren’t new, they’re gaining momentum and acceptance, Seneca College creative advertising professor and program co-ordinator Anthony Kalamut said. Booksellers have been unloading discounted titles for ages, the Newmarket resident noted. However, pop-up retail can be a doubleedged sword.

“It’s a great way for the consumer to save,” he said. “Most sales are seasonal and inventory is often a couple seasons out of date and the assets aren’t first run. Buyers generally have no recourse. You’ll see signs that state all sales are final, so, it’s buyer beware. Know what you’re buying.” The pop-up concept can also be an effective promotional vehicle, Mr. Kalamut said. “It’s a stunt, an ambient method of engagement,” he said. “It can be a good way to create buzz and create brand loyalty.” With the advent of social media, pop-up events can be advertised quickly and inexpensively. “Word of mouth costs less and is often taken more seriously than traditional ads,” he said. “Pop-up is definitely on the landscape.” Glory Box Pop-Up, a Newmarket-based enterprise, is primed to take advantage of the marketing mania, partner David Allen said. Specialists in working with insurance companies representing commercial clients since 2010, the company has enjoyed success sourcing and selling kitchen, house ware and computer products and designer label clothing at pop-ups. This weekend, Mr. Allen, an Aurora resident, will hold a patio furniture parking lot pop-up at Davis Drive and Harry Walker Parkway. The name brand furniture will be discounted by up to 70 per cent of original retail, Mr. Allen said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Someone must step forward to fix school zone traffic Traffic along Kingsmere Avenue is normally very bad in front of Notre Dame Public School at the end of the school day. Local residents have expressed concern about this for quite some time. The problems include: • cars parked/stopped on both sides of the road; • parents parking in private driveways to pick up children; • cars using private driveways to turn around and; • cars using private driveways, backing out onto the street and holding up the flow of normal traffic. Will this disregard of the law, contempt for private property and disregard for the safety of children ever be resolved? Unfortunately, no one wants to

take responsibility for fixing the problem. School administration and town council are unable to rectify the problem. The school board says there is ample space for parents to pick up their children on school property. Police say it’s not their responsibility and Newmarket’s parking authority remains absent. Will it take a child being hurt or even killed before people wake up?

Healthy choice should be easy choice F or more than 30 years, food banks have been meeting the emergency food needs of lowincome residents. Community groups and agencies have called for strategies to ensure all citizens have the right to food since the early 1980s, when food banks became established institutions. In the 1990s, articles were written in local papers about the disturbing growing gap between the rich and poor. Studies show increasing inequality negatively impacts everybody, not just those trying to survive on less than adequate income. In the mid-1990s social assistance rates were reduced by 22 per cent and, 17 years later, people forced to rely on social assistance are receiving significantly less than they did before the cuts in 1995. In spite of the efforts of many concerned citizens and groups to advocate for policies to reduce poverty and lip service from various federal and provincial governments, food bank use continues to increase. In fact, this emergency response has become institutionalized and we’ve grown to accept continuous

Joan Stonehocker

community food drives and the development of a secondary food distribution system for “poor” people as the way things should be. People are relying on charity for survival in Canada. We need to change the conversation. The crisis in our food system is not limited to people living on low income. For the first time in history, there are as many people in the world suffering from malnutrition from high caloric intake as from lack of food.

Obesity rates and chronic disease are consuming an ever-growing portion of our health care dollars. These issues affect not only those of us struggling to make ends meet with the resulting limited healthy choices available on tight budgets, but also the people with adequate resources who lack the skills and knowledge to make healthy food choices. Highly processed and convenience foods are major contributors to these problems. We urgently need to build a food system that puts health and nutrition

before profit. If the current state of increasing chronic disease among people in York Region and Ontario is any indication, this will not happen unless governments ensure the regulatory/policy framework supports a healthy food system. The right to food needs to be a priority, similar to clean air and water — vital components for health and survival. Let’s make the healthy choice the easy choice for everyone. Joan Stonehocker is the executive director of the York Region Food Network.

ServiceOntario kiosks at Vaughan Mills and Promenade Mall were two of the four locations where a security breach prompted the government to shut down all 72 of the electronic booths across Ontario this week. The automated self-service kiosks at the two York Region sites, along with booths at Albion Centre in Etobicoke and Erin Mills Town Centre in Mississauga, were apparently tampered with and in “an abundance of caution”, Government Services Minister Harinder Takhar said he decided to withdraw services from all kiosks. Vaughan Mills had one kiosk and it was

kiosk, the information flows between the government (ServiceOntario), the customer and the customer’s chosen financial institution. The ministry was informed Wednesday by its financial partners debit card information had been skimmed, something that could theoretically provide criminals access to customer bank accounts, Ministry of Government Services spokesperson Mark Thompson said. The automated self-service machines, built by IBM, are designed to provide easy access to government services. They use “swipe” technology, rather than chips, which are regarded by some as more secure.

Ms Buck also spoke against the town’s plans to pull the money from the discretionary fund, arguing it should be put aside, along with the other $33 million from the sale of hydro, for one large project in town. Council can use interest from the discretionary fund with no specific notice or voting conditions, a staff report on the issue states. “I understand people’s concern with (the consultant’s pay), but if you look at the broader role, it’s not just about planning, but also getting grants,” Councillor Paul Pirri said. “I don’t think $200,000 (in grants) is insurmountable. If we are unsuccessful in that, the $70,000 would be reduced. As for the community being involved, I agree whole-heartedly. Having a planner doesn’t mean you can’t have a community committee as well.” The $100,000 isn’t bad, but most of it shouldn’t go to a con-

sultant, Mr. Ballard said. “I don’t think $100,000 is necessarily too much for a party. That’s less than $2 per resident,” he said. It takes months to plan an event, so by the time the town got around to applying for grants, it would be too late, he argued. He has already been contacted by 16 constituents concerned about the plans, he said. The issue goes before council Tuesday.

ability on writing and directing, having made numerous short films, along with past work on a David Suzuki documentary. From working with Mr. Suzuki to writing and directing horror/ suspense shorts, to now scripting a romantic comedy with the tag line, “Sometimes you’ve got to grab life by the balls ... and take a picture of it,” Mr. Welton’s versatility is evident. “This is a big deal. I mean, it’s basically I do this or I’m picking up garbage for the rest of my life. I can’t thank Big Vision enough, but winning this contest is like step number two out of more than 10 steps we still have to take,” he said. “There is some relief in winning, but I don’t think I will be able to celebrate until the full length The Etiquette of Sexting is playing at a festival and people in the theatre are laughing,” he added. Mr. Welton is in the midst of the third edit for his screenplay and soon he will begin to shop the film to various production companies. If all goes according to plan, Mr. Welton is optimistic shooting will start in 12 months — sooner

if production can be secured over the summer, to help complement the $100,000 boost from Big Vision, Empty Wallet. New York City is their preferred shooting location, but “if we don’t get any more funding, then we’ll probably shoot it at home for free,” he said with a laugh. With additional funding, a “home run” of a budget for the project would be around $1 million, Mr. Welton said While he doesn’t plan on getting rich through this project, essentially, success will come in the form of a nice run in theatres to help build his name for future feature writing or directing opportunities. But the trio wants to ensure Mr. Welton directs and Mr. Risbridger and Mr. Pearson remain involved as actors in The Etiquette of Sexting. All three gentlemen are featured as actors in the sample scene,

including Mr. Welton, which he admits was out of necessity for the contest. “I’m staying behind the camera for the full length,” he said. “It’s important for the director to see what the scene looks like before we roll,” he added. In the meantime, Mr. Welton has submitted the eight-minute scene from the film to the Toronto International Film Festival and the Film North Festival in Huntsville, Ontario. The premise of the scene sees the main character, Brett, played by Mr. Pearson, having recently been dumped by his girlfriend and his friend, Andy, played by Mr. Risbridger, attempting to give relationship advice, albeit misguided. Finally, Andy convinces his pal to drop his trousers and perform a personal photo shoot in his cubicle for a future sext. The act doesn’t go as discreetly as Brett had hoped and Andy had promised. The Toronto and Huntsville film festivals are in September.

Tipofthe Week

Preparation makes for smoother outdoor painting projects With little more than a brush and can of exterior paint or wood stain, homeowners can easily and cheaply create a positive first impression with guests and passersby. But revitalizing a weathered outdoor space isn’t about just vanity: Thorough prep work, a carefully chosen product and a few helpful tips from the pros can protect and prolong the life of many exterior surfaces.

Regularly maintaining the outside of your home keeps it looking good and functioning well and avoids costly renovations and repairs that can result from neglect. Just a few hours work a month provides a great insurance policy against wear and tear, and keeps your investment growing with the housing market. Small chores like cleaning the leaves from gutters or spending a couple of hours touching up the paint on a fence or deck can make all the difference each season.Having the right tools will make the job go faster and provide professionallooking results. For more info and tips go to

www.Rona.ca

The colour question Picking the right colour for an outdoor paint project requires careful consideration of the many surrounding elements, including adjacent homes. “You want to consider your eavestroughs, your windows, your brick colour, your roof colour – you don’t want to be the house on the street that has the pink door,” says Angelo D’Elia of Summit Paints in Aurora. But that doesn’t mean homeowners can’t get creative with colour outside. The front door can act as a focal point when the other painted

surfaces are done in a single, complementary colour, Mr. D’Elia suggests. Dulux Paints’ Adam Gajski sees many homeowners drawing inspiration from the standard colours you find on pre-finished aluminum and vinyl, but he encourages them to consider colours that work with other elements of their outdoor scheme. “Really, you can pick colours out of your brick or your shingles, anything like that,” he says. Homeowners can bring pictures of their home to a paint store, where a colour expert can make suggestions based on the colours of existing features, he adds. Because exterior painting can be more labour-intensive and expensive than interior work, especially with preparation, it becomes even more important to get it right the first time. One trend Mr. Gajski warns against is painting over lightly coloured vinyl siding with a darker colour. “Now what happens is darker colours soak up more heat and they soak up more light,” he explains. “And what this does to vinyl is it actually warps it.”

What it’s made of After colour, a product’s composition deserves attention. Alkyd, or oil-based, paints have largely been discontinued because of their higher level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), leaving a variety of water-based products, which are generally more environmentally friendly and faster drying. Terminology can be confusing with “latex” being used as a blanket term for many water-based paints. But homeowners will also see these products marketed as 100 per cent acrylic or 100 per cent acrylic-latex. Acrylic refers to the resin, which binds colour pigments, among other functions. Most exterior paints are acrylics, says Mr. Gajski. They may also come with See Avoid page 13

added features such as protection against mildew, chalking, colour fading and alkali. Prep work Without proper surface preparation, even the most expensive and advanced paints won’t achieve the look you want. Sanding the surface will help your new paint adhere properly. “If (the surface) is in good shape – so if it’s not chalky or peeling or blistering – then all it really needs is a light sanding,” Mr. D’Elia says. Because most acrylic products are selfpriming, priming isn’t necessary. Pay specific attention to the window sills, he advises. They shouldn’t be cupped or warped, which prevents them from repelling water. When necessary, redo caulking to keep water from getting in behind the paint. Mr. Gajski emphasizes that preparation really depends on the surface, as outdoor spaces tend to feature a variety of materials with their own unique needs. For example, a power washer will remove loose, flaking paint from a wood surface. After a sanding to smooth the finish, it’s ready for paint.

“If it’s a deck,” he adds, “then there’s deck wash that will clean the wood before you apply the stain, so the pores aren’t filled with dirt.” Mr. D’Elia echoes the importance of deck preparation, because sanding will open up the wood’s grain. And while translucent or semi-transparent stains can highlight a more desirable species or a unique grain pattern, they can do the same for any shortcuts taken in the preparation stages.

Timing is everything Both experts agree stain and paint should be applied only in ideal weather conditions. Stick to the morning or evening for application and avoid humidity altogether, Mr. Gajski recommends. Avoid staining in direct sunlight because the product will evaporate before it has time to penetrate the wood, Mr. D’Elia advises. He also suggests applying stain with a brush, not a roller or pad, even though a product may list all three as possibilities. When in doubt about heat, homeowners can rely on a simple test: “Generally you don’t want to paint on a surface that you can’t put your hand on,” Mr. Gajski says.

Canes, Tigers remain division rivals BY MICHAEL HAYAKAWA

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

The Newmarket Hurricanes and Aurora Tigers will battle for supremacy in the OJHL North Division again next season.

FILE PHOTO

The Ontario Junior Hockey League has made revisions to its divisional alignment for the 23 teams for the upcoming season, the league announced yesterday. The Newmarket Hurricanes and Aurora Tigers will be part of a five-team North Division with the Buckland Cup champion Stouffville Spirit, Markham Waxers and Lindsay Muskies, who last season played in the East Division. The Orangeville Flyers, who were

part of the North last season, move to the six-team Western Division. OJHL governors used Yonge Street as a general guideline for dividing the conferences. The new layout will see the North and East Divisions form one conference and the South and West Divisions the other. With an odd number of clubs slated for the 2012-13 season, each team will play a 55-game schedule consisting of 27 home and 27 road games, plus one Governors’ Showcase match against a conference opponent.

PROUDLY SUPPORTING LOCAL SPORTS KIA OF NEWMARKET

The schedule, the league added, will be unbalanced and based solely on conference alignment, with no weight given to divisional opponents. Also restructured for 2012-13 is the league playoff format, which will now see the top eight clubs in each Conference make the playoffs. The No. 1 and 2 seeds in each conference will be given to the first place finisher in each division. The best-of-five preliminary round and first-round byes from past seasons have been eliminated and all series will be best-of-seven.

In Memoriam

FRANCZYK, John - In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, who passed away June 7th, 2003. My Dearest Jasiu, You suffered much in silence Your spirit did not bend, You faced your pain with courage, Until the very end. You tried so hard to stay with us, Our loss became your gain. God took you in His loving arms, And freed you from all pain. It isn't what we write, Or even what we say, It's what we feel within our hearts, As we think of you today. Forever loved and sadly missed by your wife, Kazia, children: Wanda, Nelly, Robin, Henry, Walter, Ted and their families. Rest in Peace Hon xoxo
