Milton Concert Bands Takes Theatregoers on a 4 | Milton Villager

Sentimental Journey
O
n March 1, The Milton Concert Band’s (MCB) Swing Ensemble took a trip back in time. In a twohour concert, it treated music lovers to songs from the 1930s and ‘40s at the MinMaxx Theatre. The band’s smaller size allows it to play smaller venues.
For Karen Canning, the appeal is multi-generational. “I think there are some nice memories, sentimental memories for the older crowd, and us remembering being young,” she said.
The music took concertgoers into a more romantic time. “These are songs that we danced to when we were dating, while we were going together. They bring back a lot of memories,” said Joyce Mistruzzi. She was there with her husband John. One of their favourites performed by the band was “Georgia on My Mind.” The lower lighting and the candles on the tables gave the room a romantic atmosphere. The band’s performance added to the sense that it was a special occasion.
One of my favourites from the show was “Someone to Watch Over Me,” written by George and Ira Gershwin. It was first performed as part of the musical Oh Kay in 1926. Other songs have been used in movies, such as “Love is Here To Stay,” first sung by Gene Kelly in An American in Paris. More recently, Kevin Spacey performed “Beyond the Sea” in the 2004 movie of the same name.
The MCB Swing Ensemble is a smaller version of the MCB, which was formed in 2007 by Angela Rozario and Cheryl Ciccarelli. The 18-piece band is directed by Mel Prout, and features vocalists Anita George and Mark Obermeyer. The room was set with bistro tables surrounding the band, which was set up in the middle. Attendees either sat at the tables, or in the theatre’s telescopic seating.
Marsha Beaver remembered her mom’s relationship with the song “Kiss Me Once, Kiss Me Twice, Kiss Me Once Again.” Marsha said, “If she’s in a fun, light-hearted mood, she’ll sing that.”The lyrics’ ability to tell a story was what drew her husband Michael to the show. He said, “If you really listen to them, the tunes of the ‘20s and the ‘30s and even the ‘40s, the lyrics mean something, and they’re really well put together.”
Sitting at the table with them were daughter Karen Canning and her husband Brendan. It was the past that appealed to Brendan Canning the most. “It’s just a part of history that should never be lost,” he said. Songs featured in the concert dated as far back as the 1920s.
I recognized many tunes within the first few bars and often caught myself humming along with the singers. Many songs have been covered countless times, and some have even been used on American Idol. It goes to show that a well-written song with lyrics that tell a story will stand the test of time.

Taste
Milton
of
The Buffet’s Buffet
M
ilton District High School (MDHS) transformed into a fine dining experience on February 27, offering the best selection and deal on a bottomless dinner plate.
Milton Mayor Gord Krantz couldn’t predict the amount of plates he was going to clear and jokingly advised attendees to not eat for two days prior to attending all future Taste of Milton events.
Featuring live music from student musicians, the sold-out fifth annual Taste of Milton created an all-you-can-eat experience for $25per person or $175 for a table of eight.
“I can guarantee you when you leave here, if you’re hungry, it’s your own fault,” the mayor said. “I’m personally not a big eater. I call it grazing. A little bit of this and a little bit of that and not a whole lot of everything.”
Taking the lead role in planning the high school’s biggest event of the year was MDHS student Sarah Mungal, the evening’s maître d’ and president of the inclusion group Students Unite. “It’s the biggest fundraiser of the school year,” she said, adding that money raised from Taste of Milton ticket sales help subsidize an annual trip for students to attend leadership and selfimprovement activities in New York City. “We also use [funds raised] to get guest speakers—people who talk about culture and diversity in our community.” Lining the perimeter of the MDHS gymnasium were feeding stations set up by 25 local restaurants. School principal Kevin Caughlin said there’s no shortage of restaurants willing to participate in Taste of Milton each year, adding that the school’s gym can only fit 25. “It is a great event and great for restaurants in our town because they get more exposure, and people get to chat with the restaurateurs,” Caughlin said. “Who can do all 25 restaurants? I think that’s impossible for a normal human stomach.”
Earth Week Kids’ Club
SATURDAY, APRIL 19th, 10 am - 12 noon The Kids’ Club is going green and making re-useable totes to use for lunches, books or gym clothes! After creating their own “one of a kind” bag everyone will be treated to a Mad Science demo with an Earth Week twist at 11 am. Please note parent(s) must remain with their child(ren). The Kids’ Club is free & open to children ages 4 - 12. *One tote bag per child, while supplies last. For more details visit miltonmall.com and click on the Kids’ Club icon.

Youth Awards Celebrate Outstanding Youth in
Milton Community
T
he Milton Youth Advisory Committee (MYAC) is celebrating and recognizing the contributions of young people in the Milton community through five new youth awards. The purpose of the awards is to promote a positive image of young people and to generate awareness of the valuable contributions that youth make in the community. “It’s been said many times that youth are our future, and with Milton being home to so many young people, these really are the people who will shape our community,” said Milton Mayor Gord Krantz. “On behalf of Milton Council, I encourage all Miltonians to think about those youth in their own organizations and to take a few moments to nominate a young individual for one of these awards.” Milton youth between the ages of 13 and 24 years are eligible to be nominated for the awards. Individuals can be nominated for any of the following awards: Painting a Path Award, Environmental Award, Unity in Diversity Award, Community Leadership Award, and Personal Triumph Award. Members of MYAC determined the five award categories and the eligibility criteria for awards and will be hosting a recognition event on May 1 for all nominated individuals and award recipients during National Youth Week, May 1–7. For more information and to download a nomination package, please visit www.miltonyouth.ca. For additional inquiries, call 905-875-5393, ext. 2611.
The MYAC is a group of volunteers ages 13 to 24 years that provides input, offers advice, and proposes solutions to effect change surrounding issues of youth in Milton. MYAC members are dedicated to advocating for the youth of Milton and work with Town of Milton staff to organize events to celebrate youth during National Youth Week.

HALTON REGIONAL POLICE IN MILTON Joins Twitter 10 | Milton Villager
T
here’s an old adage attributed to Sir Robert Peel, the founder of modern policing in 1829: “The police are the public, and the public are the police.” Sir Bob would be shocked today to discover the leaps and bounds made in technology and in policing. Communication is a big key to success in modern policing—the public wants information, it wants answers, and it wants it all now. Enter Twitter.
of criminal activity can be saved and distributed through the feed. Followers are encouraged to visit the “Caught On Camera” page of the HRPS public web page to view images of wanted people or those who need to be identified. Appeals for witnesses can also be broadcast. “It’s only a matter of time,” notes Perkins, “before someone is witnessing a crime in progress and tweets important details that can be accessed by police as they happen.”
Last summer, the Milton and Halton Hills Police Twitter account went live. The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) has had a presence on Twitter for much longer, but this was the first time a Twitter feed with a truly local flavour has been seen. “I’ll admit to being skeptical at first,” says One District (Milton & Halton Hills) Commander, Superintendent Chris Perkins. “I couldn’t wrap my head around the need for the police to tell people what we were doing or where we were going. It all seemed so inane.” Now that he’s seen the benefits, however, he’s a firm supporter.
For St. Patrick’s Day, One District ran a “Tweet-a-Thon” of up-tothe-minute data on what was happening live throughout Milton and Halton Hills, both in calls for service as well as RIDE information to discourage driving while impaired.
Twitter is the absolute fastest way to spread information in real time,and not just what was eaten for lunch.The kinds of messages the police are interested in getting out have a far greater impact. From crime prevention reminders to road closures to warnings of current fraudulent schemes, it’s a constant conduit of information channelled to a big audience. It’s much faster than traditional news outlets. Constable Maureen Andrew, one of the District Tweeters, knows this only too well. “During the ice storms of late 2013, we were a constant presence on Twitter. The amount of information we could relay was significant. In some cases, families had no access to television, landline telephones, or radios.Tweeting updates can literally be a lifeline.” The police are expanding their Twitter mandate and trying to think of creative ways to use the tool to full effect. Asking for public assistance in identifying criminals is one way the tweets are used. In short order, security video images
“Social media is here to say,” says Andrew. “Another tool in the toolbox of policing can only be a good thing.” Milton’s police Twitter handle is@HRPSMiltHH.

Milton Transit introduces updates to Milton
access+
(Paratransit) service
M
ilton access+ is Milton Transit’s shared-ride, paratransit service for persons with physical and physical-functional disabilities. The service has undergone several recent program changes to make it more equitable, cost effective, and sustainable for future growth. All changes support and comply with the current Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR 191/11) in terms of paratransit service delivery, and have been endorsed by both the Milton Transit Advisory Committee and the Milton Accessibility Advisory Committee. “These changes to our paratransit service will support our goal of an accessible, barrier-free community,” said Milton Mayor GordKrantz. “As demand for paratransit service grows, we will be better able to serve our transit riders in the future.”; A new reservation line, 905-875-5417, has been established, and passengers are now required to book trips up to seven days in advance during the reservation period. Same day trips can still be made, but may not be available at the requested pick-up time. Passengers are advised to book important trips at least one day in advance. Similar to other paratransit services in the GTHA, Milton access+; has adopted a 30-minute trip pick-up window policy to accommodate shared rides where possible. This window means that passengers may be picked up any time up to15 minutes before or 15
minutes after their requested pick-up time. Other program changes include updated cancellation policies, service area boundaries and new identification cards. All recent changes are in addition to previous enhancements made in 2012 to make services more convenient for people with disabilities, such as fare parity: passengers can use regular Milton Transit tickets and monthly passes as fare payment on Milton access+ service. For more information on Milton access+ or on Milton Transit, call 905-864-4141 or visit www.milton.ca/transit.

A Community Landmark Reborn
ST. PAUL’S UNITED CHURCH
S
t. Paul’s United Church has been a fixture on Main St. since 1874. The current sanctuary was added onto the original church in 1891, and the Christian Education Centre was built in 1962.
In 2009, the cost of much-needed repairs and upgrades, including the masonry on the roof, was approximately $1 million. The church performed a feasibility study on the possibility of redeveloping the complex, adding an 80unit life-lease condo to the site with room for worship and meeting space.
The idea polarized the congregation, with some forming a group called S.O.S. (Save Our Sanctuary). In June 2010, a fire severely damaged both the sanctuary and the Education Centre. The Fire Marshal’s office investigated and declared it to be arson. Later in 2010, the Town of Milton gave St. Paul’s United Church heritage designation. Four years later, renovations have been completed on the Christian Education Building, and it reopened in December 2013. Visitors enter the ground level from the street into an airy atrium with skylights. This was created by lowering the ceiling of the basement to make the floor. The basement houses office space and meeting rooms. The second floor is shared with Stirling Montessori School; students there have their own entrance along with a separate door leading out to the playground. The auditorium on the main level has a kitchen to hold events.
On March 21, the church held a Card-a-Rama evening. Ticketholders arrived at 7:30 for an evening of cards, including bridge, euchre, bid euchre, and cribbage. Lessons were provided for those who didn’t know how to play. The evening’s proceeds went to the church’s rebuilding fund. Reconstruction was challenging. The building’s exterior is intact, so it affected what they were able to build. “It was often a measure and figure it out as you go,” Building Committee Chair Bill Woodcock explained. Repairs had to be made to bring the building up to date with today’s building code standards. An elevator was added to make it accessible, and the floor was brought level with the street.
The card players felt like they’d come home. Long-time St. Paul’s parishioner Mabel Coulson was pleased with the new building. “We’re happy with it,” she said. Her fellow cardplayers agreed.
“It’s nice to be together and have such a nice bright, airy space in which we can do what we want to do and help the community,” said Judy Rye. Work on the sanctuary began the end of March and is expected to last until Thanksgiving. The next fundraiser is a trivia night on May 3. Tickets are $20 each, with proceeds going toward the building fund. See its website,www. stpaulsmilton.com, for more details.

Coldest Night of the Year By Stuart Service | Photos by Ann Kornuta
C
ommunities across Canada joined in massive synchronized fundraising walks for local charities to help the homeless and the hungry on February 22.
Contrary to the reputation of affluence in Halton and Milton, Milton Transitional Housing’s (MTH) Wendy Schau said homelessness and poverty in the region does exist, but they are not easy to spot.
“People think that because Halton is a relatively affluent place there are not people who are in housing need here,” Schau said. “There are people in Halton who are in housing need, although it’s just not as obvious as places like Toronto or Hamilton.” Departing and arriving at St. Paul’s Church from 2 km, 5 km and 10 km walking routes were hundreds of supporters and volunteers. Proceeds from the Town of Milton’s “Coldest Night of the Year,” nearly $38,000, will go to Milton Transitional Housing (MTH).
When asked why she feels so strongly about housing issues, Schau said it would be impossible to lead a fulfilling life without an address and a place to go back to at night. She added that as a former teacher of children with special needs, “I came to realize that those children didn’t really have ‘special needs’ expect with their life situation,” she said. “I think it’s really important that children have an opportunity to meet their potential.”

Mario receives Super Honour
Mario Belvedere

he town’s longtime CAO Mario Belvedere has been selected as Milton’s Citizen of the Year. Always quick to promote ongoing Milton projects, Belvedere got right into his favourite topic moments into a phone call about the Citizen honour. “My roots are in urban planning and I always believe in a balanced community,” Belvedere said. “Having a balanced community it’s not just about a place where people can live, but where they can learn and work and be educated and play as well.” Highlights for the longtime CAO this past year include the materializing of the Milton Education Village northwest of Britannia and Tremaine Rds., and the ongoing construction of the Milton Velodrome. “Anytime you have an opportunity as a community to get a world class facility in your community without having to pay a whole bunch of money to fund it out of the local tax
Milton CAO Mario Belvedere pictured in Town Hall with his United Way of Milton 2008 Volunteer of the Year plaque. On April 11, Belvedere will add another honour to his trophy shelf when he officially receives his Citizen of the Year award.
base . . . it was an amazing situation that we could do that,” he said. “We put together a deal where the private sector basically funded just about all of the money which was going to be the community share of the fund through naming rights and through contributions of in-kind donations and through a fund-raising campaign. That’s how it happened.” Belvedere also highlighted the town’s Innovation Centre, currently located at 555 Industrial Dr. The newly renovated town building now offers premium office space at discounted rates to bring like-minded small businesses together under one roof. “That is a place where [the] knowledge industry will have the opportunity to be in the same building and learn from each other,” he said. “It’s huge and that will help us towards the future.” Belvedere began volunteering for the United Way of Milton in 1999, the same year he started as CAO with the town. He has helped organize annual golf tournaments and dinner auctions through his role as the charity’s campaigner chair. “It’s important to help them out because it’s a charity I really strongly believe in,” he said. Milton Chief Librarian Leslie Fitch said Belvedere is an inspirational and influential leader. “Mario’s impact on the Town cannot be understated,” Fitch said. “He has a keen interest in fostering the health, economy and life of this community which is demonstrated in every facet of his work with the Town of Milton.”
