CHRIS SIMON chris.simon@simcoe.com TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com Two professionals plus three children equals one unaffordable daycare bill.

Liam and Jena Murphy already had their hands full and pocketbooks emptied trying to pay for daycare for their now sixyear-old son Ethan. Then life happened, and twin boys came along.

Isaac and Oliver entered the world about two years ago. Once Jena’s maternity leave ended, the family had to make some major life adjustments. Both Liam and Jena had careers - he worked as a nurse and she is employed in an office - but he was, coincidentally, laid off and, when they ran the numbers, it didn’t make sense to seek another full-time job.

So for now, Liam stays home with the kids and hopes to pick up part-time work in the fall.

CONTINUING POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR PROPERTY WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

The Wills Lawyer

The law concerning the continuing power of attorney for property is complicated.

In order to make it easier for you to understand the complexities in this area of the law, I would like to highlight the following points: The word “attorney” in a continuing power of attorney for property does not mean that you have to appoint your lawyer. You can appoint a trusted family member or friend.

Un-beelievable Savings!

FREE

Your will and your continuing power of attorney for property are separate and Michelle Kotzer distinct documents. One does not replace the other, but you are certainly allowed to appoint the same person to represent you in both your will and your continuing power of attorney for property. Your will only takes effect after your death, and your continuing power of attorney for property is only effective during your life and terminates at your death.

TRIPLE GLASS UPGRADE ON WINDOWS *

A power of attorney that you may have signed at the bank for banking purposes is not the same as the continuing power of attorney for property.

The bank power of attorney would not be effective with respect to your home, condo or any other real estate in your name, and in all likelihood, the bank power of attorney would not be effective with respect to any other assets which you own, to the extent that those assets are kept outside of the particular bank.

A situation may arise where you want to revoke your continuing power of attorney for property, and of course, you can always do this as long as you have the mental capacity. Once you lose that capacity, it will be too late to revoke your continuing power of attorney for property.

This subject is not only for seniors. Remember that even if you are in your twenties and in excellent health, you run the risk that you may unexpectedly lose your mental capacity because of a motor vehicle accident or sports accident. You cannot make a valid continuing power of attorney, if you are under the age of majority.

The word “property” in the phrase continuing power of attorney for property should not be taken to mean real estate alone. Property is a word that can describe any asset such as an automobile, stock or bond. I cannot over emphasize how important it is to appoint someone whom you completely trust to represent you in a continuing power of attorney for property. If you do not trust the person, do not appoint him or her.

EDITORIAL | OPINION

• OUR VIEW •

ABOUT US

Entrepreneurial skills vital for young people The world young people have grown up into over the past decade or so bears little resemblance to the one the generations immediately preceding it inherited.

Rather than graduating from high school or a postsecondary education program and smoothly transitioning into a career that would see them from first-day jitters through to gold watch at retirement, the job market today is marked by fierce competition and seismic changes.

Uncertainty, it seems, is the new certainty.

And while the employment landscape may never have been quite as straightforward or simple as the second paragraph suggests -perhaps only when viewed through the rose-tinted lenses of nostalgia - the fact remains that charting a career path in today’s job market is an increasingly daunting task.

And with many traditional sectors already experiencing disruption from new technologies (bricks-and-mortar retail stores and taxi operations among them) and several others poised for a major shake-up from innovations such as automation (the trucking industry being but one example) navigating a career path will only become more challenging.

In fact, nearly 42 per cent of the jobs for which Canadians are currently being paid could be automated using only the technology we have today, according to the Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship.

As such, it’s good to see that there are programs such as the new Youth by Design course offered by the York Region District School Board and York University’s Innovation York, out of its new YSpace innovation centre in Markham, that are encouraging high school students to embrace the spirit of entrepreneurship and "follow their passion."

The program allows students to research their ideas and learn about subjects such as business leadership, intellectual property and patent law, while earning school credit at the same time.

The teens involved in the Youth by Design course are working on some impressive projects to be sure.

Markham’s Natalie Shafik, for example, is creating an app to help students access recipes based on the ingredients they have available, while Bur Oak student Yu Mao is making an app to help keep people connected with their friends and family living abroad.

These are great examples of young people turning challenges into opportunities and that kind of can-do spirit will serve them regardless of what the future of work holds.

The Youth by Design course and other programs like it, such as Summer Company and the resources offered through the York Small Business Enterprise Centre, should be promoted and made readily available to youth.

Jobs and. indeed, entire employment sectors may come and go but entrepreneurial skills are irreplaceable.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Tree protection bylaws should be applied fairly

some of these beautiful trees.

Alfred Tsang Markham

Sometime ago, a Markham resident was taken to court by city authorities for cutting down two or three mature trees on her property. She was expected to be fined for thousands of dollars for doing so.

Now, we have a developer who is building a condo complex on Old Kennedy Road.

There can be no doubt that dozens of mature trees will be sacrificed for the project.

I am wondering what action, if any, has the City of Markham taken to protect some, if not all, of the mature trees on this track of land?

It would seem rather hypocritical if the city applies the law differently should there have been no action taken to protect at least

Power reports don’t boost conservation Power Stream Hydro efforts in producing the periodic Power Stream Power Report, which ranks my hydro usage against a selection of similar residences, in addition to costing money to produce, has other consequences: One, it makes me feel less caring when I have in fact done many things to help address usage.

Two, the report apparently ignores lifestyle differences in the neighbour comparison.

Three, it makes me wonder how committed the provincial government is to reducing rates that have in-

creased dramatically over the last number of years, this from recent news reports.

When the effort seems to try to make hydro usage my fault, it seems like obfuscation of the real problem of rates. We are seniors, living in a small house, with limited capacity to update and renew everything, but we have made basic accommodations: Almost all the lights in the house are CFLs or LEDs, and attic insulation has been improved. Our older working air conditioner is connected to the Peaksaver system which allows hydro to switch it off. A powered attic fan is installed to reduce heat buildup and improve cooling performance.

We need day comfort at 25.5 Celsius and a running furnace fan to distribute cool air. We cook on our

schedule and some of our entertainment is home based with TV, movies, computers, etc. also using power.

Dehumidifier, dishwasher and laundry pair also run occasionally.

We also have a pool, active for about two months of the year, with timed pump hours for two-thirds of the day and using solar heat.

So, to the hydro executives that thought they could shame me and others into further conservation, I say not likely. Your efforts could be much better spent in contracting for much cheaper power imports, say from Quebec, or by better handling infrastructure decisions with your provincial partners, like cancelling half-built facilities or retaining ownership of other parts of the infrastructure.

BACK RIBS

Woman, 92, dies in nursing home

Baby Back Ribs are a point of contention amongst my friend group. Everybody goes nuts for falloff-the-bone ribs, however I believe a rack is best enjoyed with a little fight left in the ribs, firm enough to require a gentle tug to coax that meat off the bone. We usually gather every Sunday evening for a communal dinner and as I’m a bit of a control freak (especially in the kitchen) I usually take the reins. Everybody loves ribs, so this seemed like a logical no-brainer. We don’t have a BBQ at our place anymore (long story, feel free to ask me) so we do these in the oven. Dry rub with brown sugar, smoked paprika, cayenne, cumin and sea salt the night before. Wrap in tin foil and cook at 250 for an hour and a half before glazing with a homemade honey garlic sauce (I use the Rosewood Smoked Honey to replicate the taste of BBQ), then broil for a few minutes to caramelize the sauce. Whether smoking, baking or grilling them, fall-off-the-bone or with a little tenacity, we can all agree, OFF ribs are the best! Reg.$9.95/lb

TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com The Ontario Coroner’s office has confirmed it has an ongoing investigation into the death of a senior in a Markham nursing home.

Published reports indicate a 92-year-old woman was discovered dead Sunday at Yee Hong Nursing Home at 2780 Bur Oak Ave. According to the reports, Yee Hong CEO Eric Hong said the senior’s head was caught between the mattress and the rail that was intended to stop her from falling from her bed.

Hong reportedly said the woman had been checked just 30 minutes before she was found dead.

Health Canada has reported warnings on bed rail entrapment incidents indicating there were 67 such incidents between 1980 and 2008 and that during that period there were 17 coroners’ reports involving deaths related to beds and side rails. It also warns of the potential of "strangling, suffocating, bodily injury or death when patients or part of their body are caught between rails or between the bed rails and mattress."

One thing I miss from my childhood is the little bowl of sliced fruit my mother would prepare for me with each of my meals. I may not have eaten my whole dinner but you could bet your bottom dollar that the bowl would empty. My favourite then, and my favourite now, are the Ontario Freestone Peaches. They may not have the size and consistency of California peaches but as they’re picked a few miles away they are picked just shy of ripeness, the sugars fully developed, the intoxicating fruity aroma, just ever so soft to the touch. A piece of fruit picked rock hard and transported can never compete with that perfection. These are from Overholt Farm, our good friend who picks these every night and /BASKET drives them to the terminal every morning. Featured at:

I remember a few years back we submitted several of our wares to the Ontario Meat Packers Awards.

We brought our ham, kolbassa, pepperettes, smokies and just threw in the roast turkey as an afterthought. To our surprise and delight we actually took home the Platinum Award for best in the province and after one look at our product its pretty clear why. Ours looks like turkey, you can see the breasts, the skin: it’s the real deal!

Step one: zest a ton of lemons, juice the fresh lemons, separate dozens of eggs... combine the curd ingredients and set on a double boiler to cook. Chill overnight to set. Step two: make shortbread, hand-press shortbread flan crusts and prebake. Step 3: fill the crusts with the lemon curd and stud generously with luscious fresh blueberries. Bake and chill.

OFF And my favourite, step four: slice and consume. Reg.$16.99 each Blueberry Crisps - When I presented Evan with the first cherry almond crisp, he said, "Do you want to have a riot on your hands?" I said, "I'm in the mood for a riot, what are you thinking?"

That’s when he suggested we feature the crisps and bake them every few hours throughout the day. In my head I thought “riot” might be a stretch, but Evan knows dessert and he knows his customers and (as I've learned is usually the case) Evan was right. Riots ensued and we are selling close to 500 of these when featured on the weekend.

10 EDUCATION

Ontario’s daycare system needs more than funding l Continued from front

for and am passionate about," Liam said, sitting in the family’s living room as Ethan flipped through Pokemon trading cards nearby. "There’s a feeling of being held back in my career just because of daycare. How are we, as two people who have post-secondary education (and) good careers, struggling to make daycare payments? We’re paying into the system, why can’t it turn around and help us? Financially, it’s not even a conversation. We want to work."

Finding the perfect fit when it comes to cost, location and programming is challenging for today’s parents. Experts attribute that to a system that fails to deliver.

Ontario’s child care model is so far behind, according to Professor Yvonne Bohr of La Marsh Centre for Child and Youth Research at York University. With the mountains of research data showing the importance of providing quality care for children from 0 to 4 years of age, it leaves her wondering why the government waited until this year to take steps toward a universal child care model.

"What we have is not in line with what we know," she added.

"Those early years are just as important as Kindergarten so daycare should be an extension of the school system, absolutely."

The current child-care model isn’t working because it’s not affordable for all families, low wages make it difficult to attract and retain professional child care employees, and the sector lacks regulation.

Cognitive and emotional learning go hand-in-hand in the early years, meaning stable social interactions with a trusted adult encourage learning and professionally trained staff can help guide and prepare children for the school years.

Justin Greaves/Metroland

Alejandra Tejada and her four-year-old son Brayden stand outside the Learning Enrichment Foundation where Brayden attends daycare.

But some children miss out on the nurturing of that early development because there isn’t available, affordable space at licensed daycares. If quality of care isn’t defined or regulated or professional development isn’t offered to staff to keep up with current best practices, children head into school on an uneven playing field.

"There is actual evidence and economic research that shows child care is worth the invest-

uReport

ment," Bohr said. "Children who are professionally cared for in the early years have better mental health, lower incarceration rates, require less poverty support and contribute more to the economy."

In June, Ontario Child Care Minister Indira Naidoo-Harris unveiled a seven pillar plan including 100,000 more licensed child-care spaces, subsidy funds and no parent paying more than 20 per cent of their income on care. The plan would also offer

20,000 more early childhood educators, plus wage increases and professional development opportunities, defining of quality child care, inclusion plan, annual tracking of system performance and public education on available child-care options.

But experts say it’s not enough and that the five-year plan could potentially be abolished should the Liberal government not be reelected next year.

The daycare sector is current-

ly facing a recruitment and retention crisis, according to Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario’s Lyndsay Macdonald. The child-care sector has become one that is difficult to afford to remain working in.

"Many of these early childhood educators go to work and can’t afford child care for their own children," she added, pointing out that the AECEO’s current campaign is advocating for fair wages.

The median pay for Ontario ECEs is $17.20 per hour but 24 per cent are below that at $15 per hour. Those who have managed to obtain employment with a school board are making $26 per hour, get full benefits and a pension, work fewer hours in a day and get summers off.

"This disparity makes it difficult to recruit and retain educated child-care workers and when turnover is high, the quality of care decreases," she said. "Learning happens through care and consistent relationships. If there is turnover, there is no consistency."

While she applauds the government for releasing a five-year action plan for child care, she says it falls short. More funding is needed to fill the gaps that have grown so large because 100,000 new licensed child-care spaces are moot without trained staff and parents who can afford those spaces.

"You know the system is broken when parents are forced to choose between work and staying home to care for their children," she added. "The funding announcements are a step in the right direction but much, much more is needed. Parents, children and the child-care sector deserve better."

A road map for Ontario’s child-care revolution.

Retirees look to recreational properties for year-round homes This summer, Canada’s recreational property market witnessed an uptick in demand sending pricing and sales activity higher as many buyers sought to enter the market in search of a yearround dwelling.

According to the Royal LePage Recreational Housing Report, which compiles information from a cross-Canada survey of the company’s recreational property specialists, roughly 65 per cent of advisors believed that retirees across the country increasingly sought to cash in on their home’s equity in order to purchase a recreational property as a primary residence.

“Recently, we’ve begun to notice an increasing number of recreational property purchasers enter the market in search of a year-round waterfront residence,” said Royal LePage Truro Real Estate’s Todlynn MacPherson.

“Once found, these buyers will often hold onto the property for a number of years until they can no longer keep up with its maintenance, either passing it on within the family or selling it and downsizing.”

While this tends to be more prevalent in provinces like British Columbia and Ontario, where home values are generally higher than the rest of the country, the trend can be seen nation-

wide, particularly in Alberta, Quebec and New Brunswick.

Looking forward to the remainder of the year, 54 per cent of respondents expect sales activity to rise when com-

pared to levels achieved in 2016, as this trend continues to place an upward pressure on demand and constrains

inventory levels in most markets nationwide.

New home deposit protection changes coming to Ontario

19

The first option is to put all freehold deposits in trust, similar to condominium deposits. This would be an effective protection for consumers, but could act as a barrier to new builders entering the industry because builders of freehold homes use deposits as working capital to finance their construction of new homes.

A second option is to increase the deposit protection cap — perhaps to $50,000 or $60,000 — or

The review has been looking at three options.

The third option is a blend of the first two: an increase in the deposit cap and any funds collected above that cap must be held in trust. Consumers would enjoy enhanced protection and builders would have greater working capital, although they would need to take on the extra work of administering the trust provisions.

Under all options, consumers

Still, builders of freehold homes would — News Canada have more working capital and new home sales may rise, Saturday and Sunday • 1-3 pm boosted by increased consumer confidence.

When new home buyers put down a deposit on a new home or condominium in Ontario, they enjoy peace of mind that their deposit is protected should anything go wrong with the sale.

Since 2003, Tarion, which backstops the new home warranty, has provided consumers with deposit protection of up to $40,000 for new freehold homes and up to $20,000 for condominiums. Condominium deposits also have the added protection of being placed in trust and protected under the Condominium Act. This level of protection has worked well over the years, but a lot has changed since 2003. The prices of homes, particularly in the GTA, have skyrocketed in recent years. Ontario has also seen the collapse of large builders — most notably Urbancorp, but others as well.

That’s why in 2016, Tarion committed to review deposit protection for freehold homes. Tracy MacCharles, the minister of government and consumer services, also publicly stated last March that she wanted a review to go ahead.

Find Frank for chance to win Magna Hoedown tickets The Find Frank contest runs Aug. 17 throughout York Region.

AMANDA PERSICO apersico@yrmg.com The name of the game is Find Frank.

Cowboy Frank Stronach is on the loose again and it’s up to York Region

residents to find him.

And if you corral him, you could win tickets to this year’s ultimate country party in a tent - the Magna Hoedown.

But Frank is only on parade throughout York Re-

gion for one day - Aug. 17.

Cowboy Frank will be at various locations throughout the day.

Based on clues and pictures posted to Facebook and Twitter, Frank finders will have an hour to locate the colossal cardboard cutout.

Once spotted, walk up to his handlers and say "Yeehaw! I found Frank".

The first two people to arrive at each location will win two Hoedown tickets, for either Sept. 15 featuring Chad Brownlee or Sept. 16 featuring Tom Cochrane with Red Rider.

August 13 – 31, 2017 • Every Sunday – Thursday

The first to Find Frank will have the choice between the two dates.

If you already have Hoedown tickets, you can still Find Frank to win free Hoedown Swag.

New this year: participants can only win once during the Find Frank day.

For more information, visit hoedown.ca.

Neighbourhood Network’s Erin Cerenzia snaps a selfie with ’Frank’ to post to their social pages for the Find Frank contest.

The first two contestants to show up at a secret location Aug. 17 can win free tickets to the Magna Hoedown, Sept. 15 and 16.
