ket. "I spent a few nights ... with two sleeping bags, two tarps wrapped around me," he said, adding his breath frosted around his face. "It’s not easy." He has been homeless in York Region on and off for more than three years. "It is like living one of your worst nightmares every day, until you get housing," he said. But he wants to live a better life and is attending a new program offered by Inn From the Cold in Newmarket. "I have been struggling for a while trying to get a little bit more ahead ... ever since I lost my house," he said. "This seemed something positive and in the right direction." Getting Ahead is an eightweek, 16-session program that began Oct. 17 and is designed to help homeless individuals build the needed resources to improve their lives. "I’m hoping something good can come from it, so we can help other people who are in similar situations," said Melodie Coulton, Doyon’s girlfriend, who was also in the program. "Because when you are struggling and you are homeless, any little bit counts." Doyon has a job, but because of a number of circumstances, including injury and health issues, he struggles to find housing. He started one of the tent cities in Newmarket and has rented places, he said, but there have been difficulties. "A lot of the places that you can afford ... are places in the patch," he said, describing it as the "ghetto of Newmarket." "There are people up drinking all night or smoking crack all night ... it is really hard to keep a job or get any sleep," he said. Coulton, who has been homeless since June, would like to go back to school and find a job where she can help others. Despite their ambitions,

Inn From the Cold program leader, Ashley Martin (centre), assists students Mike Doyon and Melodie Coulton during the new program for homeless people that’s designed to help them build the resources they need for a better life.

New program helps homeless people get ahead ’I have been struggling for a while trying to get a little bit more ahead ... ever since I lost my house.’ LAURA FINNEY lfinney@yrmg.com homeless people can face a number of challenges when trying to get out of their situation. "When you are, say, in a tent, for example, you try and get up first thing in the morning, get ready for work, make it there on time," said Coulton, adding finding transportation, food is difficult. "Every day is a struggle; we are just trying to survive." And a lot of people do not

have addresses or phones, she added. Ann Watson, executive director with Inn From the Cold said they are running the program because it is difficult for their clients to get ahead. "When they come to us, they just feel like they are stuck," added Ashley Martin, the Getting Ahead co-ordinator. She described the program as

"client led," that guides participants through a workbook to identify needed resources to get ahead. "They are the ones leading their journey," she said. This is the first time the program will run in York Region and is funded by a seed grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The first section takes a look

at the participants’ lives and uses visual aspects to self-examine their living situations. "I’m projecting there is going to be a lot of raw emotion in the beginning," Martin said. "They know they are homeless, we don’t have to tell them that. When you actually see it on paper, it becomes so much more real for them." Then they look where they would like to be in three months, she said. "The shorter goal, the more attainable it potentially may be," said Martin. "A lot of them can’t even think past one day." She said even running an eight-week program is a big challenge, but Inn From the Cold tries to help remove barriers by providing transportation tickets, breakfast and lunch. The program also helps guide the participants through "the hidden rules of the economic class" and learning about available resources, said Martin. She hopes the participants feel a sense of accomplishment from the program. "I just hope that it is a positive experience for them and they can see that there is a future," she said, adding the program is the easy part. There is also an aftercare piece to ensure participants are still on track. "And let them know you are one of their resources, and you are their support," she said. Looking ahead, Doyon and Coulton want to find housing and use what they learn to give back. "If you can learn something, get further ahead, then maybe one day you can be on the other side of it and be helping people," said Doyon. There will be a second session of the program in January. The Inn From the Cold winter shelter service will be opening Nov. 6 from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. until March. They have a number of upcoming fundraisers to support their services and programs.

sions going forward in the integrated issues of the community," she said earlier this week at a council meeting. "This is step one and step two would be a ward system." In the 2014 municipal election, Aurora had two referendum questions on the voting ballots regarding support for a decrease in council members and the transition to a ward system. Only one third of Aurora’s eligible voters cast a ballot but of those that did two thirds supported dropping two councillor spots.

nicipalities. "It is important to have some evidence-based statistics," Thompson said. "I was one of the people who voted no before but I have had more opportunity to gather information and it changed my mind." Out of the 444 Ontario municipalities, 75 per cent have less than nine members of council. Pickering, Clarington, Waterloo, Ajax, Burlington and Vaughan, with populations ranging from 90,000 to 183,000, make it work with seven seats, he added. "There is an effective decision-making study out of Harvard that found for every person over seven, you reduce effective decision making by 10 per cent," he said. However, not all councillors were convinced the community would be better served with fewer councillors sitting at the table. "Aurora has had eight councillors for a long time," councillor Jeff Thom said. "More representation, more voices and more views at the table is better in my opinion." He also pointed out that the population continues to grow and the provincial and federal governments have increased their seats over the last few years. Thom is also hesitant to make such an important decision before the final report from the governance review committee is presented. Councillor Wendy Gaertner echoed Thom’s statements and feels more public consultation needs to be conducted on the subject. "While our council has pretty good attendance, what happens if someone is away and you only have six making decisions," she asked. "I’m in favour of six full-time councillors but not part-time." Council voted to drop two councillor seats.

One of the best ways to learn about a community’s past is through its historic buildings. York Region is home to several and among the best preserved are its churches, some of which are more than 170 years old.

Holy Trinity Church, Vaughan This Anglican church, at 140 Brooke St. in Thornhill was built in 1830. It has undergone some changes during the last 187 years, including being picked up and moved from its original location on the west side of Yonge Street to its current location on Brooke Street.

Holland Landing Christ Church, East Gwillimbury This red brick Anglican church, which sits atop a hill at 110 Peter St. in Holland Landing, opened in 1843. It was built on a half acre of land donated by Chief Justice John Robinson. The single-storey, gothic pointed church was designed by architect John G. Howard.

St. Luke’s Roman Catholic Church, Markham The simple, frame-structure church was built by Thornhill carpenter John Edey in 1847 at 15 Church Lane. The congregation moved to a new church and sold the old one to Ukrainian Catholics in 1972, it was renamed. St. Volodymyr’s Ukrainian Catholic Church.

St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, King This fieldstone church, also known as Eversley Presbyterian Church, was built in 1848 and served as a place of worship for 110 years. It’s now in use as part of the York Pioneer Historical Society. Sources: Region of York, City of Vaughan, King Township

Thornhill Presbyterian Church, Vaughan The Greek Revival-style church, at 7788 Yonge St. in Thornhill, was built in 1846. The father of Dragon’s Den star Michael Wekerle purchased it in 1994 and renamed it St. Michael’s Chapel. It was at the heart of a family feud involving Wekerle’s sisters and their mother, according to media reports.

Aurora council has agreed to add the word Christmas into the title of the annual tree-lighting ceremony. In August, local resident David Lisi was upset that his request to add Christmas to the title of the event the year prior had yet to be discussed and wouldn’t be changed in time for this year’s event. His frustration lead him to contact the Aurora Banner. "Surely you recognize the absurdity and, more importantly, the bigotry in such language," he said. "When you remove ’Christmas’ from ’Christmas tree’, you remove the tree’s identity." But at a recent council meeting, councillor Harold Kim brought forward a motion that would fulfill Lisi’s request before Santa comes to town. "Santa is there, we sing Christmas carols, so let’s call it what it is," councillor

PM must be ready for post-NAFTA world

The Aurora Banner, published every Thursday, is a division of the Metroland Media Group Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The Metroland family of newspapers is comprised of more than 100 community publications across Ontario.

U.S. president Donald Trump’s ongoing game of chicken with the North American Free Trade Agreement is no doubt wreaking havoc on the blood pressure levels of many business people across Canada. Trump voiced his displeasure with NAFTA during the election campaign, but who could have guessed he would be consistent on the file after taking office? After all, this is the man who promised to release his tax reforms, replace Obamacare with "insurance for everybody," create 25 million jobs, raise the minimum wage, not take vacations, end violent crime in Chicago and create an "artistically beautiful" wall on the Mexican border. Trump’s distaste for NAFTA has not only survived the chaos of a dysfunctional White House, but has also infected talks, as American demands become increasingly untenable. So, it’s likely many are wondering what happens if Trump scuttles the deal that has seen Canada and Mexico become the two largest destinations for U.S. exports since NAFTA was initiated in 1994. The answer is no one is quite sure. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said Ottawa will be ready for any eventuality, but he’s not about to reveal any game plan. Legally, experts suggest we would revert back to preNAFTA Canada-U. S. trade agreements. Failing that, our relations would be subject to World Trade Organization rules. But, would anyone doubt Trump’s willingness to impose duties on anything and everything, in blatant disregard for bilateral deals he had nothing to do with negotiating? Dissolution of NAFTA alone could create seismic tremors for Canadian companies conditioned to having unfettered access to the U.S. Who knows what impact tariffs would have on Canada’s economy? Of course, the U.S. Congress could have something to say about all this. Congress wields constitutional power over international commerce/duties and it’s possible that it may act to preserve access to a enticing Mexican market so charmingly free of labour and environmental standards. But that would mean more conflict with a president who is already irate over his inability to dismantle his predecessor’s health care program. NAFTA’s fate could even land in U.S. Supreme Court. All this upheaval is not necessarily inevitable. A sliver of hope emerged when Trump acknowledged the possibility of a two-way agreement with Canada. Our PM needs to jump on this opportunity, should NAFTA talks stumble. Trudeau may support a renewed NAFTA, but as he is charged with protecting Canada’s interests and not Mexico’s, he needs to be open to an exclusive free-trade agreement between Canada and the U.S.

Weapon magazines should be out of kids’ reach Today I was in my local variety store, waiting in line to post a package. Beside me was a young boy about seven years old browsing through a magazine. I was appalled to see that it was a gun publication. I took a closer look at the display case and was astounded to see that the complete bottom row was populated by multiple gun, knife and other weaponry magazines and totally accessible to this young child. He was thoroughly enthralled by the glossy photographs and ads and went through a number of them while waiting for his mother who was occupied at the post office counter.

Personally, I wish these magazines were not even available. I abhor the very idea of guns. But if these magazines are to be sold, they should not be within arms length of impressionable children. And that is what I left with the store clerk. There is an irony here. We as a society have gone to great lengths to legislate the content on cigarette packaging and covering

the products up in retail stores, like the one I was in today, to hopefully prevent young people from starting to smoke and safeguard their health. And yet these equally offensive products that symbolically promote violence in our society are so readily accessible and nobody bats an eye. I am so glad that I live in Canada where the gun culture is not anywhere as rampant and out of control as in the U.S. but I had a wake up call today when I walked into my local variety store.

Barris reached out to Pengelly’s son, Chris. Partway during the conversation, Chris walked away and came back with a suitcase. "It contained all of his dad’s effects," said Barris. "A diary, the photographs, some of the scheming that went on, sketches that had been done." Barris said he was hooked. "I just had to do this,"

When Port Hope native George Sweanor hung his laundry while a prisoner at a German PoW compound, he was not drying his clothes. He was using code. "Every time he moved his stuff on the laundry line ... he was telling the next guy in the security chain who was just about to walk in the main gate," said Ted Barris, journalist, author and broadcaster. Sweanor was one of many Canadians who was part of the mythical Great Escape, a story from the Second World War made famous by the 1963 movie starring Steve McQueen. But according to Barris, some of the elements in the movie and the book, written by Paul Brickhill, are missing. Specifically, the Canadian elements. "While technically proficient and accurate for the most part, it tended not to give the characters in the story as accurate a portrayal as I think they deserved," he said. The Great Escape tells the story of 80 commonwealth airmen who escaped the PoW compound through a tunnel. Barris’ book The Great Escape: A Canadian Story, released in 2013, explores the Canadian side of that story. Some of the Canadians included the PoW who designed the tunnel, the principal tunnel excavators, the chief of security and more, he said. "All of this was completely ignored by the movie and the original book," he said, although he added without the movie, people would not be as interested in the story. He started working on the book after discovering one of the people from the

Don’t forget to fall back this weekend Tick-tock, it’s almost time to turn back your clocks. Daylight saving time ends at 2.a.m Sunday, Nov. 5, so don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour before heading to bed Saturday night. Also, local fire services remind people now is a good time to test all smoke and carbon monoxide alarm units in your home and replace the old batteries to ensure the equipment is working properly. It’s the law to have working smoke alarms on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas. It is also required that carbon monoxide alarms be installed outside all sleeping areas so you can hear it when you’re sleeping.

Province seeks input on long-term transportation plan The provincial government wants to hear your thoughts about how to ease crippling gridlock in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Officials at Queen’s Park are embarking on a "long-term plan" to modernize the transportation system in the GGH region "to ensure people and goods are able to move throughout the region with greater ease," according to a news release. Dubbed the GGH Transportation Plan, the aim is to build on short-term and medium-term projects, such as the GO Regional Express Rail service expansion to build a better system. The aim is to ensure Ontario’s transportation system is able to address challenges such as climate change, while leveraging the benefits of new technologies, such as automated vehicles, according to the news release The province wants to know what you think about a draft set of long-term goals and objectives for the GGH Transportation Plan. Responses collected through this consultation will shape the development of transportation options for moving people and goods throughout the region. If you’re interested in helping shape the plan, you have until Dec. 23 to fill out an online survey.

cleanups and campaigns at school. "Ever since then, I’ve really started to grow my passions into the issues that I care about now," she said. "I’m passionate about education, poverty, homelessness, youth empowerment, antibullying and so many others that I really I hope we can tackle together." The book features 19 interviews with people Alper considers her role models. She said it has been an "incredible experience." "When I was on the phone with Lilly Singh, or Face Time with Lily Collins or sitting down with Malala when she was receiving her honorary Canadian citizenship in Ottawa in April, it was one of those moments where I was just thinking, I’m 14 and I’m doing this," she said. "I’m very lucky." She said everyone she interviewed shares her belief in the power of youth, and everyone has created big change. "Malala is just one example, but she is one of the most powerful education advocates that the world has ever seen," she said. "And she’s proved

annah Alper has interviewed some of the most notable people in the world today. She has spoken with Malala Yousafzai, Michael "Pinball" Clemons and the Kielburger brothers, just to name a few. And, she’s only 14 years old. The Richmond Hill blogger, motivational speaker, ME to WE ambassador and social activist can now add another achievement to her already impressive list. She has written a book, Momentus: Small Acts, Big Change, which comes out Nov 1. "I’m so excited about it coming out," she said. "There are only two words I can use to describe it and that is incredible and surreal." There are two things that she said she has believed in since she started her journey. "Anyone can make a difference, I don’t care how old you are, how much money you have, where you live, you can

make a positive impact in the world," she said, adding she hopes the book proves that, and that people will be inspired. "And feeling very empowered to take action." The second thing she believes is that small actions can add up to make big changes. "Every single tangible act that we create, weather its spreading awareness about an issue, a compliment, raising money for school, any action that you take to make the world a better place ... it makes a difference." Her journey started when she was nine and she wanted to start a blog, but her parents would not let her write about celebrities or herself. "I had to write about something that I was passionate about," she said. At the time she loved animals, and she learned more about animal and environmental issues. "I knew that I wanted to help, so I stared a blog with the hope that we could simply be ecofriendly," she said. She started taking action with shoreline

Aurora sports hall calls on LA Kings’ first captain JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com Bob Wall doesn’t recall the exact details of his arrival in Aurora. His next visit, however, will be one he is sure to remember. The former NHL defenceman will be returning as one of four honoured guests inducted into the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame when the fifth class of inductees is welcomed on Nov. 8 at St. Andrew’s College. Although he was raised in Oak Ridges, Aurora is

where Wall played minor hockey, ultimately leading to a professional hockey career from 1962 to 1976. Wall played 854 pro games, including 322 in the NHL with Detroit Red Wings, Kings and St. Louis Blues. He retired from pro hockey after the 1975-76 season spent with the World Hockey Association’s San Diego Mariners. "I’m pretty excited, quite pleased and can’t wait to get there," said Wall, 74, who now lives in Minden. "My childhood dream was to play in the NHL. I was given the chance to play hockey in Aurora and that is where I was discovered, so to be in the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame is a fantastic honour." Wall recalls being summoned to play one night for a Lake Wilcox team in New-

market. "The manager called my mom to ask if I could play at Newmarket," he said. "They hadn’t lost a game and Lake Wilcox had no wins." He scored all three Lake Wilcox goals, including the game-winner in the dying seconds. "The next year I was playing bantam in Aurora and we won an (Ontario Minor Hockey Association) championship. I played the next two midget years in Aurora then got drafted by (Jr. A) Hamilton Red Wings, at the time an affiliate of the Detroit Red Wings. "Gordie Howe was my idol from Day 1.

president Luc Robitaille for the recognition. In recent years, he and others have been brought back for occasions such as the 50th anniversary season last year and Stanley Cup runs in 2012 and 2014. He takes special pride in being singled out as the Kings’ first captain. "No one can ever take that away from me," said Wall, who spent three seasons with the Kings. "That will always be there. They treat us like royalty." Expansion from the Original Six to 12 teams in 1967 doubled the number of Bob Wall jobs at the top level. "I was excited," said he later coached his two sons to Ontario Minor Wall, who was the second skater chosen by Los AngeHockey Association chamles. "It was a chance to espionships. tablish myself in the NHL Wall appreciates the and make more money. I Kings’ attention to frannegotiated a three-year chise history and credits

contract with (general manager) Larry Regan. I was so happy because I was making twice as much as in the American Hockey League." So, how would Bob Wall fare in today’s game, you wonder. "I don’t know the rules so it would probably confuse me, especially the removal of the red line," he said, referring long multizone passes which stretch out defensive coverage. "We were taught as defencemen not to give up that (offensive) blue line. Now you can’t give that free guy standing at the far blue line a chance to stand alone. "It would be interesting to see the game played today with no helmets," said Wall. "That way players would have to respect their heads."

There is no debating Mike Palmateer was a lot of fun to watch at work. Acrobatic saves, attacking shooters, roaming the ice and setting up goals were all part of his tool box when he arrived on the National Hockey League scene. It may have driven coaches wacky, but it was precisely why Toronto Maple Leafs faithful fell in love with the Toronto native when he guarded their nets in the late 1970s and into the 1980s. Answering to Mikey, Palmy or the Popcorn Kid, the latter for his penchant to munch the occasional pre-game kernel, he was an interesting study and injected colour into the game like few players had previously dared. A fifth-round draft pick of the Maple Leafs in 1974, Palmateer joined the Maple Leafs in 1976 and made a Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 5 pm Toll Free 1-855-945-8725

JOHN CUDMORE Cuddy Shark favourable impact almost immediately with his freelancing style. Palmateer had five shutouts among 34 wins in 63 games the following season as the Leafs reached the Stanley Cup semifinals. In all, Palmateer played in 365 NHL games with Toronto for two stints, and Washington Capitals, before retiring in 1984. He finished with 149 wins, including 17 career shutouts. His acrobatic saves and roaming style made him a

crowd pleaser in Toronto. "I was doing stuff other goalies didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do," recalled Palmateer, who is among four inductees heading into the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame on Nov. 8 at St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College in Aurora. "I made the shooters make the first move. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play goal, I figured you might as well have fun. "Back then, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have goalie coaches. I was my own coach and a lot was learned by trial and error. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to make mistakes. I was confident enough to make an error and get back on the horse. I love a goalie that can make saves three different ways." So, too, did Maple Leafs fans. Palmateer was voted 58th on the Maple Leafs alltime Top 100 player list as the franchise celebrated its centennial season last year. Palmateer is among the

positioning and anticipation? "I had one knee that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bend and 14 operations when I retired," said Palmateer, who is listed at five-feet, nine-inches and 170 pounds. "I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. Now it is about height, size and being in the right position. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to think I could play with all that money out there, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be too small. A lot of the time goalies get hit and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the puck. Even if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not skilled, they still have to be able to track the puck." Palmateer, who in postplaying career was an Aurora businessman, worked for Central Scouting and briefly as a goalie coach for the New York Islanders. He also spent 13 years scouting for the Maple Leafs. Not surprisingly, he likes the on-ice product as the franchise aims to end a Stanley

After his final season in Toronto, Palmateer tried to squeeze one more contract out of his body, signing a conditional one-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers. His battered knees, infused with cortisone, did not pass the physical. "They said, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nice tryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;," recalled Palmateer. "Who knows what would have happened if I had passed that physical." The art of goaltending has evolved dramatically over the years since Palmateer retired.

A forgotten part of Palmateerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game was his ability to handle the puck. As a kid, he recalls playing goal at a rep level, but also was a prolific offensive player in the Scarborough Catholic House League. "I liked to handle the puck and was winning scoring championships," said Palmateer, who collected 25 career assists. "I think a goalie has to think like a forward and understand what they are thinking. If you want to learn to be a goalie, learn how to score." Tickets for the event cost $125.
