they acknowledge that the house they had lived in for 50 years was no longer suitable,” said Sparrow, whose parents were finally forced to go into a long-term care facility.

Douglas agreed.

“Each of them only ever bought one house, each set of parents, and they just couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. And what we learned from that is that you have to have a plan, you have to think about options,” she said.

“We realize it’s just a house.”

This is a second marriage for both Sparrow and Douglas, who wed 20 years ago.

They have five children between them, whom they raised in a five-bedroom home in Scarborough, although they point out both started out with modest homes when they entered the housing market.

When the kids left home, they sold the house seven years ago for $345,000 and bought a semidetached home in Stouffville for $290,000.

Flexibility about home ownership and communication about their goals have given Sparrow and Douglas the freedom to live

After watching their parents cling to the houses they owned for decades, Stouffville husband and wife Graham Sparrow and Jan Douglas are determined not to make the same mistake.

For their parents, who had grown up in England during the Depression and the Second World War, their homes were their security.

Even as they became older and more frail, they refused to sell the only houses they had owned as married couples, meaning they also didn’t free up equity

Are we reinventing the way we view gender?

Opposing View

By Kim Zarzour

kzarzour@yrmg.com

T

welve-year-old Aiden was shopping with his dad in a toy store when he noticed most items in the craft section were pink. He pointed it out to his father, then decided he needed to speak to someone about why this bothered him.

Aiden is straight and his parents are both male. He is also part of a new generation that appears ready to reinvent how we view gender, and that makes his father Paul Woods, a York Region principal, incredibly proud.

“Kids are ahead of us in so many ways. They recognize that gender binary is not important, the person is, and they move on.”

Studies back that up. According to Fusion’s poll of 1,000 young people aged 18 to 34, half of all millennials believe that gender exists on a spectrum and shouldn’t be limited to categories of male and female.

Thanks, in good part, to these open-minded youth, traditional gender rules and stereotypes are waning. The impact is profound and, to some, it’s disturbing.

Phelpston’s Mike Harper, for example, worries gender-neutral washrooms could invite “perverts” of the opposite sex with “toe cams”.

Others worry about lone females needing to go into a public toilet downtown, late at night, discovering a male is in the washroom, too.

But proponents say there real are safety concerns on the other side. Statistics show shockingly high levels of sexual abuse and assault against transgender people.

Sawyer Arnold of Oshawa identifies outside of the gender binary.

A member of the board of directors for transgender relations with PFLAG Durham (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), Sawyer’s androgynous looks often earn “dirty looks and sneers” in public bathrooms.

Last year, in a men’s washroom, “a guy side-eyed me, then pushed me,” Sawyer said, adding the reaction was based on fear and lack of understanding.

Not so fast, says Gwendolyn Landolt.

“Why are we jumping on this bandwagon?

I’m not sure the public is as accepting as some people seem to hope.”

GENDER IDENTITY

The spokesperson for REAL Women of Canada — a pro-family conservative women’s movement — said opinion polls show the public is not behind gender changes such as re-wording lyrics to the national anthem.

A Metroland Special Report “It takes a while for behaviour and attitude to catch up to laws.”

Jen Anderson Shattuck has also encountered some backlash.

Shattuck’s three-year-old son, nicknamed Roo, sometimes likes to wear a tutu. A stranger told the Massachusetts mom it was child abuse to allow her son to dress that way. Her impassioned Facebook response went viral, with more than 60,000 shares.

“Roo may not always want to dress this way, but we hope that he’ll remember that, when he did, he was loved,” she wrote. “We are called to be brave and open-hearted so that our children might learn to be brave and open-hearted, too.”

Senior lecturer at Harvard Business School Jill Avery suggests the gender divide remains firm for some consumers.

Society’s blurring boundaries makes gendered consumption more important today than it was in times when gender roles were more strictly defined, she said.

Avery studied what happened when Porsche launched the Cayenne SUV, the first non-sports car in its 70-year history. Porsche fans — overwhelmingly male — unleashed fury at the feminine “contamination” of their brand.

“Despite the claims that we are living in a postmodern era of gender experimentation, the men in this study continue to value and protect the masculine identity meanings of their brands,” she said.

Michele Donnelly, assistant professor of sport administration at Kent State University, said most sports remain firmly segregated.

International Track and Field competitions have a long history of inspecting and testing women’s bodies for chromosomes, testosterone and other signs of femininity.

“They are still trying to enforce

“You can artificially change things by legislation, but you’ve got to bring the public with you. These gender-erasing decisions are being made from the top down and don’t reflect what the public is asking for.”

Changes to driver’s licences and passports that remove gender identification are coming from “elite sources – activists, media, academics,” Landolt said, adding she worries such moves will lead to more problems.

“Census forms will be a jumbled mess and we’ll have problems like what happened recently in a women’s shelter in Vancouver.”

Facebook

A Massachusetts mom was accosted by a stranger last month who said allowing her three-year-old son nicknamed “Roo” to wear a tutu was child abuse. Her impassioned Facebook response went viral: “Roo may not always want to dress this way, but we hope that he’ll remember that, when he did, he was loved,” she wrote. a line where a line doesn’t exist in nature,” said Donnelly, who worked with colleagues at the Centre for Sport Policy Studies at the University of Toronto.

“I think we are far away from gender-neutral competition. I would like more openness and awareness of the limitations of our binary categories … We have a lot more work to do in recognizing the line is not as easy to draw as our language says it should be.”

“It’s time to change the way the world thinks about athletes — both straight and gay,” said Patrick Burke, co-founder of You Can Play — an organization set up to challenge the culture of locker rooms in sport.

“Talent, work ethic and character

are all that matter when evaluating a player.”

York University faculty of education associate professor Jen Gilbert believes teachers can help foster a more gender-tolerant next generation.

Schools are a place to invite confusion, to think about gender as a question; today’s teachers-in-training are encouraged to shun gender stereotypes, said Gilbert, who specializes in LGBTQ issues.

“We’re at an important moment in history, when the trans folks are saying, ‘it’s important to us’ and the rest of us need to step up and meet that challenge with generosity. Sure it takes effort, but why wouldn’t we?”

In the 1990s, a transgender woman filed a human rights complaint against Vancouver Rape Relief after the shelter excluded her as a volunteer peer counsellor, saying she did not have the proper life experiences as a woman from birth would.

Landolt referred to a statement released last month by the American College of Pediatricians that calls transgender ideology “child abuse.”

Disorders of sex development are exceedingly rare, the society said, and “a person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking. When an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl, or an otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy, an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such.”

“We have to wonder, what on earth are we doing to these people?” Landolt said.

“They need care and in-depth counselling … Why are we so quick to change everything to accommodate people who are troubled?”

Video stream, archive of council meetings long overdue

Y

ork Region council is once again considering live video streaming and archiving its council and committee meetings. Such a move, if acted upon this time, would be long overdue.

Council last considered video streaming of its meetings in 2013, but balked at the costs and ultimately decided to live stream audio of its meetings only, with no archive of the recordings. Audio was first live streamed in May 2014 and because the region made use of existing equipment, the only added expenditure was $65,000 for secure gateway hardware and new software.

Now, the idea of video streaming and archiving the recordings is back on council’s radar. Although the cost to move forward on the proposal remains high — about $125,000, according to a regional report — it’s not a lot of money for a region with a multi-billion dollar budget to spend in order to make its business more accessible to the public it serves.

Suggesting video streaming and archiving aren’t worth pursuing because people might not watch is akin to saying that council meetings shouldn’t be open to the public because so few citizens attend.

The majority of York’s local tier municipalities are already video streaming and making some form of archive available. Of the hold-outs, Markham offers only a live audio stream of its meetings and WhitchurchStouffville makes a live audio stream and archive available, while East Gwillimbury and King have neither audio nor video streaming in place.

Looking a little further, the regions of Durham, Halton, Niagara, Peel and Waterloo all offer video streaming and an archive in some capacity, so it begs the question: why isn’t York doing it?

No one expects that regional council meetings will be a ratings hit. The majority of the local-tier council meetings draw a dozen or so users — with the exception of Whitchurch-Stouffville, which had 170 people tune in for its first streamed meeting — so they could hardly be said to qualify as “must see TV.” However, unlike many local-tier council and committee meetings, the region meets primarily during the day when the majority of residents are at work. Live video streaming and archiving the recordings would at least give people the option to view and review what council is considering and the decisions that are made.

Isn’t that what democracy is all about?

Suggesting video streaming and archiving aren’t worth pursuing because people might not watch is akin to saying that council meetings shouldn’t be open to the public because so few citizens attend.

We have the technology to make these meetings more open and accessible for the public. It’s past time for York Region to move forward on this.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Kudos on recent Donald Trump editorial Re: Could Canada elect a Trumplike leader one day?, Sept. 29.

With your “Could Canada elect a Trump-like leader one day” editorial, you have written a masterpiece!

It is the finest of your year, one ever so current in the minds of all of us as we try to comprehend the electoral circus taking place in our nearest and dearest neighbour.

With crisp and elegant prose — and yet in so few words — you have covered the issue there and here with perfection. Well done!

Tying the shock we all feel about the American election, (specifically at how far xenophobia and bigotry have risen among the voters there), to the statistics you quote showing 67 to 87 per cent of Canadians liking Simcoe-Grey MP and Conservative leadership hopeful Kellie Leitch’s idea of screening out immigrants who hold “anti-Canadian values”, distressingly answers your title’s question.

Beyond the repugnance of the concept itself, is the obvious

SEND A LETTER: Email letters to editor to newsroom@yrmg.com impossibility of defining “Canadian values” (Whose? A Maritimer’s?

A Yukoner’s? A Native’s? The prime minister’s? Kathleen Wynne’s? A government panel’s?).

Beyond that lies the insurmountable task for some poor consular official out there trying to judge how reasonable an applying immigrant’s answer might be.

As someone who has recently come through the Canadian immigration and citizenship process, I can vouch for the clean and clear description of the country to which I was applying, along with the extraordinary thoroughness with which the process was handled.

Our immigration officials made it very clear what Canada was, how it was administered and governed, what its laws are, how they are administered and what my obligations were once I got here.

The origins of Canada, its history and the diversity of the

country today were highlighted in detail (from coast to coast). The process was accurate, its officials were courteous and much could be said for the numerical ranking system itself.

I am very pleased, too, that you pointed to Leitch’s proposal as the possible starting point from which “it could happen here”.

The idea she made is beyond outrageous and she will hopefully have sunk her Conservative party candidacy with it despite the polls, which pretty much answer the title of your editorial.

This kind of thinking, whether a politician’s trial balloon or the uncovering of latent bigotry among our fellow citizens must be called out at its source and it must be stamped out at its earliest stage.

Canadians have long struggled with how we distinguish ourselves from Americans. Well this is it: our tolerance, one that will not tolerate racism, bigotry and all the other forms of prejudice that lurk in the hearts of men, even those of our neighbors.

Toronto man charged with fraud Chris Simon

csimon@yrmg.com

A Toronto man has been charged in connection with a $95,000 fraud against Calvary House non-profit housing and the Region of York.

York Regional Police major fraud unit investigators arrested and charged Samuel Park, 57, with two counts of fraud over $5,000 and use a forged document and one count of fraud under $5,000 and theft over $5,000 Sept. 28.

In December 2015, officers received a

report about a property manager employed

by Calvary, which is located in Markham.

Investigators learned that during the property manager’s 2006 to 2015 tenure, he was altering financial documents and issuing fraudulent cheques for his personal benefit. This was discovered after an internal audit was conducted. Calvary was allegedly defrauded for $88,000; York apparently lost $7,000.

The accused resigned prior to the audit being completed. Park will appear in a Newmarket court Oct. 27. The investigation is ongoing.

“It feels good to know it’s all taken care of.”

the life they want, including booking three trips over the next year and owning a vacation home trailer in Florida.

The couple is already thinking about their next move, about a decade in the future, this time to Stouffville’s Parkview Village for seniors.

“When you are at our age, which is the late 60s, you have to start looking at people who are 10 years, 15 years older than you are and what is our most likely physical reality going to be?” Sparrow said.

“With a wait list of 10 years for some of the units, now is the time to put your name on a list if you’re realistically saying where are we going to be in 10 years?”

Parkview will provide them with a home with no stairs, an environment in which they can comfortably manage their finances and a close-knit community of seniors.

“All of this I have to attribute to our par-

ents and our watching them and being, not frustrated with them so much as wishing they would look at their lives and think about what they want from life rather than feeling stuck,” Douglas said.

Beverley Varcoe, a veteran broker with Aurora’s Royal LePage Your Community Realty Brokerage, is a senior real estate specialist who sits on the executive of the Aurora/Newmarket chapter of the Canadian Association of Retired People.

Varcoe, who gives seminars on housing issues such as mortgage and title fraud, gave a presentation to Aurora council in July about the lack of housing options for young seniors not yet ready for supportive housing.

Seniors are often a forgotten demographic in today’s housing market, Varcoe said.

“The current housing market is affecting seniors for several reasons. The prices have been going up so fast, homeowners are reluctant to sell their investment. The next issue is the lack of somewhere to move

to because of the limited supply of affordable condominiums and accessible bungalows,” she said.

“Seniors are staying in their homes longer and looking for ways to make them accessible and safe.”

Seniors selling their long-term homes, who don’t need to buy something new — if they are moving in with family, for example — stand to make hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But those wanting to buy are finding few options for the types of housing for which they are looking, Varcoe said.

“The limited supply of housing suitable for seniors means that you could be looking for months with nowhere to live,” she said.

“Or you could end up in multiple offers on a property, bidding higher than the retirement budget you planned with the sale of your home.”

Walk in memory of teen supports food allergy research Brea Bartholet

bbartholet@yrmg.com

Last September, Andrea Mariano was starting a new chapter of her young life.

A few days into her first year at Queen’s University, the Thornhill teen was looking forward to her year of studies in the faculty of arts and science.

Sadly, on Sept. 18, 2015, the bright and kind-heart-

ed young woman died mere hours after drinking a smoothie that her family members say was cross-contaminated with a peanut or milk product - both of which she was severely allergic to.

Her parents Norrena and Rocky and sister Kristina continue to mourn their loss, but from tragedy has come a positive light of support, awareness and education in

relation to severe food allergies.

The news about Andrea’s death was a trigger for Peter Deboran and his wife Jyoti Parmar, who are parents to two children with food allergies. After learning of the Mariano family’s tough loss, the pair decided it was time to take some action.

“We were absolutely devastated to hear about

Andrea,” explained Parmar.

“We had been wanting to host a walk to raise awareness about food allergies for a while and after hearing about the Marianos’ story, we knew it was time to make it happen.”

In January of this year, Deboran and Parmar reached out to the Mariano family, asking if they would be interested in working together to

create an event that would spark conversation and education about severe food allergies and anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially lifethreatening allergic reaction.

That’s when the Walk for Andrea came to fruition.

On Oct. 2, nearly 250 people gathered at Milne Dam Conservation Park in Markham to walk in honour of Andrea and others like her.

The initiative was also created to raise money to go toward the new Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Research Program at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.

Before the walk began, organizers announced that $14,300 had already been raised for Sick Kids. They hope that number will rise throughout the coming months.

Markham resident Kiyani Johnson put her best foot forward for the York University Lions after scoring a pair of game-winning markers in a 2-1 decision over the University of Waterloo and 1-0 against Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario University Athletics women’s soccer action last weekend.

By virtue of that performance, the Lions’ striker was named the school’s female athlete of the week for the period ending Oct. 2.

A St. Brother Andre Catholic High School graduate and second-year psychology major, Johnson is currently tied for sixth in OUA scoring with five goals.

The Lions currently sport an 8-0-3 record.

Markham’s five-acre York University campus remains on target to open for the 2020-21 school year.

About 4,500 students are expected to attend the new campus located at Enterprise Boulevard and Rivis Road during the first school year. That is expected to increase to about 9,300 by the third year.

“Things are moving forward and we’re excited,” said York University Development Corporation (YUDC) president Bud Purves, during a recent Markham campus committee meeting.

Signs will soon be posted on the site and the innovation and community engagement hub is currently under construction, located above the retail lobby of 169 Enterprise Blvd. in downtown Markham.

Technology and business are the two major themes intertwined in the new programs offered at the campus.

“Business is huge,” said York University academic vice-president and Provost Rhonda Lenton.

“We heard this broadly: this campus had to include business.”

The “locked in” faculties include: arts, media, performance and design, education, environmental studies, liberal arts and professional studies, engineering, and science.

Several other faculties are interested in joining the Markham campus later on.

The campus will also host post-graduate

and Seneca College programs, Lenton said, creating easier transitions between college, university and post-graduate studies.

“This will be a very comprehensive campus,” she said.

York is also seeking opportunities to share services with the city and developers, such as public library use, broadband Internet connectivity, recreational use of the Pan Am Centre and YMCA, and hosting lectures in the nearby movie theatre.

York is moving away from library stacks and toward digital materials and a limited reserve of textbooks.

“We don’t want to replicate the problem of collections,” Lenton said. “Most universities are moving their collections to storage facilities. We can’t afford space in libraries for collections.”

Students need the space to study and for computer labs, she added.

Students at the Markham campus will have access to York’s main library delivery service.

York will also offer continuing education and professional studies for people looking to change careers or add or improve skills, Lenton said.

The Faculty of Education is also building a relationship with local school boards to foster student innovation at the Innovation and Community Engagement hub.

Student housing needs were discussed during the last York U committee meeting in June.

An influx of students provides more incen-

Instead, YUDC wants to find student housing solutions within the plethora of condos in the area.

“We need to find a solution that is best for students and best for Markham,” Purves said. “We don’t want students in unlicensed, unsafe basement apartments.”

YUDC conducted a preliminary analysis of the rental housing market near the cam-

pus site.

Currently, there are about 650 units or 1,350 beds in the $800 per month, per bed range, and that is expected increase to about 2,000 units or 4,100 beds by 2024.

“We don’t want this to be a real-estate project for makeshift rental income,” Purves said.

“This is a student life project. A market solution will drive away basement apartments and rooming houses.”

Marauders, Cardinals seek first gridiron win of season in annual Markham Bowl Community Cup game

Michael Hayakawa

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

Can the St. Brother Andre Catholic High School Cardinals’ offence minimize their

turnovers?

Can the Markham District High School Marauders’ offensive line give their skill players enough time to get

their hands on the pigskin?

Those factors could be instrumental as to which senior football team will leave the gridiron hoisting

the Markham Bowl Community Cup when the Cardinals and Marauders take to the Mount Joy field turf for this year’s annual York Region Athletic Association tilt Thursday starting at 7:30 p.m.

Since the cross-town rivalry first kicked off in 1994, Markham District High School holds a 13-6 edge in the series.

St. Brother Andre though,

won the last meeting 30-0 last year.

While the Marauders and Cardinals enter this year’s grudge match seeking their first win of the season, both are looking forward to renewing their annual grudge match with bragging rights on the line.

“Right now I think both programs are looking to revitalize themselves,” cited Cardinals’ head coach Joe Colangelo of his club which is 0-2 while the Marauders are 0-1. “But when the Markham Bowl comes up though you can throw out the records.

The kids are excited.”

“It should definitely be interesting,” added Marauders’ head coach Owen Earle.

“You can definitely throw the

records of the two clubs out the window.”

If the Cardinals hope get that first win, Colangelo noted his relatively young charges must play mistakefree ball.

“It’s all about turnovers,” he said. “In our first game against King City (a 16-13 loss) we limited the number of times we turned the ball over. But in our second game (a 24-0 loss to St. Maximilian Kolbe) we turned the ball over far too many times.”

Citing his club is also relatively young, Earle feels the key will be if they can contain the Cardinals’ overall team speed.

“If we can control their speed I think we can contain them,” he said.

Goals hard to come by for Markham Royals in weekend OJHL action Michael Hayakawa

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

The Markham Royals are not complaining about the number of scoring opportunities they’ve had in their recent Ontario Junior Hockey League games.

Most perplexing though, is the shortage of goals scored after they split a pair

of weekend contests that included a 3-2 victory over the visiting Stouffville Spirit Friday followed by a 4-1 loss to the Wellington Dukes at Markham Centennial Arena Sunday.

“We started the season averaging around four or five goals a game,” recalled Royals’ general manager and head coach Mike Gala-

ti. “But lately it’s been harder for us to generate goals.

When you’re hot you’re hot and when you’re not, you’re not.”

More concerning to Galati was their play at the other end of the rink after Sunday’s loss as he felt goaltender Marcus Semaio allowed a pair of soft goals that set the tone for the

game.

“They got two goals early that Marcus should have had, so we were down 2-0 and against a good team like that it’s hard to come back,” he said.

Douglas Carter scored the lone goal for Markham against Wellington, who won their ninth game in the last 10.

Rylee St. Onge, John Hudgin and Hudson Michaelis each scored once for Markham against Stouffville that snapped their five-game winning streak.

On the injury front, Markham played without defencemen Jonathan Prasnjak, who was out with a lower body injury but is

expected back for Friday’s game against Newmarket at Markham Centennial Arena at 7:30 p.m., and Jacob Cuffley (upper body injury), who is out for around one week.

Markham currently sits in second place in the North Division with a 6-2-01-13 record and is one point behind the Stouffville Spirit.

By Sam Potter IF YOU suffer from low back pain and sciatica, you are one of over 10 million adults in Canada with this often crippling spinal condition.

Shooting, stabbing and burning pains from the low back, sometimes with additional pain through the buttocks and down the legs are all symptoms of pinched nerves often called “sciatica”.

In severe cases, it can lead to muscle wasting, numbness and constant tingling down to the tip of the toes. Left untreated, the intense pain can rapidly wear you down and drain the joy out of life.

That is, until now...

Recent advances in the treatment of sciatica and lower back pain have led to the development and huge success of Advanced Biostructural Correction Technique.

The excellent results of chiropractic treatment have been published in major medical journals. With great success rates.

Some back surgeons and medical doctors are recommending their patients try this treatment first before having back surgery.

In Markham, you can try Advanced Bio-Structural Correction Spinal Care at the Elite Care Chiropractic – the office of low back pain and sciatica relief Chiropractor Zunaid Kagdi D.C. Zunaid and his team of fully trained spinal care specialists have helped over 1,000 patients find relief from their agonising back pain and sciatica.

Colin Storie and Michael Glekel ride along Bloomington Road north of Stouffville during Sunday’s Reunion Ride for Cancer. As part of the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer, the Reunion Ride participants cycled through Stouffville and Markham on 50 or 75-km routes.

Funds raised go to support cancer research at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto. In the last nine years, the ride has raised $155 million for Princess Margaret.

Hockey Association will also be conducting an investigation into the events. Jerry Brens, the Waxers’ referee in chief, said fights have become rare since new rules around fighting were ushered in a few years ago.

However he did note that Milliken Mills rink can often prove difficult in these type of instances because of its setup.

“It’s a pretty poor rink for rep hockey, the players have to go through the crowd to get to their dressing rooms,” he said.

Orillia came out on top by a score of 4-1 on Sunday and the teams are set to meet again next month in Orillia.

According to media reports one Orillia player was hurt during the exchange after the game.

Police continue to ask the public to come forward with further information.

A minor league hockey investigation is underway after a fight broke out between Bantam A hockey parents and some 14-yearold players in the stands of Millikin Mills rink.

The incident occurred on Sunday around 9 p.m. when players from the visiting Orillia team were leaving the ice on their way to the dressing room, the Markham Waxers’ players having already entered their dressing room.

Now the Ontario Minor Hockey Association has stepped in and is to start reviewing the community rink’s surveillance footage, which sources say caught a large portion of the altercation.

Although it’s unclear exactly what set off the fisticuffs, York police said they

believe the interaction began with an argument between parents and players, before escalating into a physical fight between parents and players, according to reports given to police.

“We would like to remind people that we do investigate incidents like these,” said York police Constable Laura Nicolle, who explained that police showed up after the fight was over. “I have heard of a few (fights of this nature), they happen particularly at sporting activities.

Emotions can get tense.”

On top of the OMHA and York Regional Police, the Orillia Minor Hockey Association is also conducting investigations into what occurred at the rink.

Calls to the coach and the president of the Markham Waxers went unreturned, however it is believed that the Markham Waxers Minor
