More houses and stores coming to Green Lane area SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com More houses, more apartments, more townhomes, more schools, more stores, more roads, more trails, more parks, more traffic and fewer farms. That’s the future of Green Lane in a nutshell.

Council chambers was packed in East Gwillimbury May 2 as residents got a first look at what the future of Green Lane will look like as the town is in the process of developing its Green Lane Secondary Plan.

While things are still very much in preliminary stages, Paul Lowes from SGL Planning and Design told the audience that Green Lane is a key growth area in the town.

The plan outlines how the development of the Green Lane corridor will be concentrated on emphasizing the main intersections at 2nd Concession and Yonge

Street as core areas of the community.

In the two land-use planning options developed for resident comments, those core areas had residential and commercial mixed use designations. Also, both main intersections had highdensity housing zoned nearby.

Low-density housing was generally located farther away. Medium density was generally located around the main arteries.

The open house was one of several that are happening in 2017, with another one scheduled in September before a public meeting to take place in December.

As part of the road network is a proposed east-west collector road the town is slated to build north of Green Lane. With an estimated cost of $50 million, the east-west municipal road is proposed to run between an extension of Harry Walker Parkway and Bathurst Simon Martin/Metroland l See RESIDENTS, page 4

ENVIRONMENT

Salty trend risks long-term damage to Lake Simcoe CHRIS SIMON chris.simon@simcoe.com

Mike Barrett/Metroland

Bill Thompson is manager of integrated watershed management for Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority.

For decades, salt has been the standard "go-to" for winter maintenance in the Lake Simcoe watershed.

But excessive winter salt usage, both by municipalities and private businesses, has caused the average chloride concentration in the lake to increase by about .7 milligrams per litre annually since 1971.

At this rate, the lake will exceed the Canadian government’s chronic (long-term) chloride guidelines by 2120.

While that seems like a long way off, reductions in usage take time and there’s little indication

the increase is slowing, said Bill Thompson, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority’s manager of integrated watershed management.

"There’s really no change," he said. "The challenge with salt is it’s pretty much invisible. You put it down and it disappears.

The more people that are aware there’s an environmental impact, the more people will think twice before demanding that level of service from their local store or municipality. Their behaviour impacts the health of the watershed."

About 100,000 tons of salt is applied to paved surfaces within the watershed each year. Much of that ends up in creeks and riv-

guideline exceedances at Hotchkiss Creek in Barrie, and 44 at Holland Landing over one winter.

Barrie has been working to reduce salt usage through resident education and outreach and a spring street sweeping program that prioritizes clean-up near sensitive areas like creeks.

However, each municipality has to balance safety and liability concerns with environmental protection.

"We still need to make sure we provide a safe transportation network so the community and businesses can all function in the winter," Barrie risk manage-

ers before getting to the lake.

The LSRCA monitors chloride levels at 21 tributary locations and 17 lake stations.

Data show chronic guidelines are already exceeded in many creeks and rivers in Barrie, Newmarket and Aurora and that the issue is mostly caused by the larger urban municipalities around the lake.

"We look to not over-apply any de-icing materials on roadways and sidewalks," Newmarket infrastructure services commissioner Peter Noehammer said. "That’s carefully measured."

Periodic sampling over a fiveyear period has also recorded 17 cases of acute (short-term)

day of the event, despite the rain.

2017 marked the 15th anniversary of the event, which began as the Bob Hartwell Challenge in 2002, a memorial run honouring a local business owner, civic leader and avid runner who contributed generously to the community. In celebration of this milestone event, the route location was moved to Newmarket’s Davis Drive, allowing participants to run or walk directly past Southlake Regional Health Centre and under the iconic Southlake bridge for the first time in event history.

"We know that seeing the hospital as they run or walk under the arch is symbolic for our participants," foundation philanthropy and engagement vicepresident Katherine Alyea said.

The event is the largest community fundraiser held annually

by Southlake Foundation, raising vital funds to purchase new and replacement equipment across the hospital. Current equipment needs include anesthesia machines, operating room lights and hospital beds and mattresses, all critical elements to providing world-class care to Southlake patients in York Region and the surrounding communities.

Since the inception of Southlake Foundation in 1980, more than $100 million has been raised in support of Southlake Regional Health Centre.

Working with members of the community, hundreds of volunteers, the Southlake family and incredible donors, Southlake Foundation will continue to support life-saving medical equipment, infrastructure upgrades and expansions, patient programs and staff education, all for the goal of transforming the lives of patients and families, close to home.

Street. It’s intended to help pave the way for new development in Sharon and alleviate traffic on Green Lane. The four-lane road’s preferred route would run south of the Sharon Burying Ground and reach Bathurst south of Morning Sideroad.

The proposed route intersects Yonge, 2nd Concession, Leslie Street and Murrell Boulevard. A five-span bridge will also be required to run over the East Holland River, GO Transit tracks and the Nokiidaa Trail.

The town’s consultants estimate the cost of the crossing at about $17 million.

By 2041, East Gwillimbury’s population is projected to soar from its current 25,000 to 108,700 people, according to the region’s growth targets.

Development of the Green Lane corridor is dependent on the town getting more sewage allocation from the proposed sewage facility in Queensville, which is being held up by the province.

East Gwillimbury’s population is already booming without the new sewage plant, and could grow by 51 per cent over the next four years. Planning director Nick Pileggi said the town has already added an estimated 1,000 people since the York Durham Sewage System extension became operational last fall.

Pileggi told council at a special meeting on growth management on April 11 that, so far, there have been 253 new home occupancies, but those numbers grow almost daily. There has already been 2,352 permits issued for new construction, with a total 7,000 units available to the town as part of the YDSS extension.

COMMUNITY

Get out, meet the neighbours The Generator Project is encouraging people to power down, turn off and meet the neighbours May 5 to 7 AMANDA PERSICO apersico@yrmg.com In August 2003, most of Ontario went dark - as were neighbourhoods in New York, Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey and Maryland.

More than 55 million people in Canada and the United States were in the dark for several days.

"I remember struggling to make my way home," said Toronto resident Pete Bombaci.

"After checking in on loved ones, instead of hiding behind tall fences, people looked over the fence and invited neighbours over for a barbecue to eat food before it went bad."

Bombaci wants to bring that neighbourly feeling back in a big way.

Through the Generator Project, he is giving residents an excuse to power down, turn off and look over the fence.

"Reflecting back on that time, everyone has a smile on their face," said Bombaci, who worked on marketing campaign for Molson and Movember.

"People were meeting people they literally see all the time."

The Generator Project first launched last fall. This year, there are two Generator Project weekends planned - one in the spring and one in the fall.

In both the spring and fall, people are either coming out of or going into winter hibernation - what better time to interact with neighbours, Bombaci added.

The Generator Project weekend is May 5 to 7.

Residents are encouraged to register their Generator Project online events from neighbourhood hockey tournaments, having coffee with a neighbour or a games night with friends - with the hopes of creating a global movement.

"It’s a defined weekend," said Bombaci, who is hosting an all-ages ball hockey game in his neighbourhood.

Mike Barrett/Metroland

Tim Korba (centre) is surrounded by family members Charlie, 6, (clockwise from left) Sophia, 11, wife Dana, Charlotte, 13, and Harry, 9.

They are participating in the Generator Project, an orgnaization dedicated to educating people on the importance of face-to-face social connection and inspire them to take action. The initiative was inspired by the blackout of Aug. 14, 2003, on the Eastern seaboard of North America. More than 500 generating units shut down that afternoon and it resulted in power being shut off to more than 55 million people in Canada and the United States for up to seven days.

"It’s a reason to send out that invitation, put down the phone, ask questions and get to know each other."

Inspired by the Great North American Blackout of ’03, the Generator Project is all about encouraging social interaction and educating on the benefits of faceto-face interaction.

"Research on the benefits of face-to-face connections is endless," Bombaci said.

Some of the benefits include mental and physical well-being, lower levels of anxiety and depression, increased happiness, high self-esteem, more empathy

Research also points to the amount of "faux-socialization" taking place through texting, tweeting and messaging.

those."

Markham resident Tim Korba and his four kids are participating in the Generator Project for the first time.

He and the kids plan to go door-to-door over the weekend and meet the neighbours.

"Nothing crazy, compli-

cated," he said.

With a mix of emptynesters and new families on the street, this is a great opportunity to get out and "meet the people you see in and out, but don’t know who they are," he added.

His memory of the great blackout was the amazing spirit and camaraderie between strangers on the street.

"There was no looting," Korba said. "Instead, people were sharing food because their fridge was out of power. There was a great feeling on the street."

For more information, visit generatorproject.org.

Tips to power down Adults: Host a barbecue, wine and cheese night or corn roast. Invite neighbours to a street party or barbecue. Host a picnic in the park with friends. Host a front porch chat. Have a board game competition.

For children: Play ball hockey, basketball or baseball. Go kart races or bike races in a parking lot. Play a game of tag or hide and seek.

Condo living: Host a hallway dinner. Start an appetizer crawl from apartment to apartment. Play cards or board games. Throw a rooftop soiree.

EDITORIAL | OPINION

• EDITORIAL •

Ontario one correction away from a debt crisis The Kathleen Wynne government turned the fiscal page Thursday and introduced a balanced budget, and if you listened carefully you could hear the congratulatory backslapping from Toronto all the way to Port Severn.

It was 10 years ago when Ontario ran balanced budgets in 2006 and 2007, but that gave way to $20-billion-a-year deficits in 2008 and 2009 when the economy tanked and the Grits had no choice but to hand the auto industry a $3.3 billion lifeline, or face the collapse of auto manufacturing in Ontario.

At the time, then premier Dalton McGuinty made a promise to balance the budget by 2017, and while the Liberals should be commended for getting their budget in order, there’s a bogeyman lurking in the province’s balance sheet.

The provincial debt for this fiscal year is expected to hit $312 billion, and in a recent meeting with Metroland Media editors, Senior Economist with RBC Robert Hogue said "tough medicine" is needed to tackle the debt.

"Debt has increased quite significantly and debt to GDP is running at 40 per cent," he said.

In 2016/17, the province expects to spend $11.4 billion on interest payments on that debt. That’s nearly $1 billion a month just to service existing debt, and in case you need to be reminded, that coin comes from your pocket.

To put it in terms we can all relate to, every person in Ontario would need to pony up $22,000 to pay off the debt.

Hogue said this massive debt leaves the province without a rainy day fund in the event the economy slows to a point requiring stimulus spending, and if interest rates rise, as expected they will, the interest payments on the debt would skyrocket.

We agree with Hogue when he says it’s time the province create a plan to tackle the debt by creating a "hard target for debt to GDP ratio" that sits much lower than where we are now.

However, we didn’t get that Thursday. What we did get was a desperate Liberal government waving costly carrots in voters’ faces.

The Wynne government’s shopping list includes a drug plan for those under 24 costing $465 million a year and $200 million next year to increase affordable licensed child care spaces.

Noble programs for sure, but not at a time when the province continues to add about $10 billion a year in new debt as long as they hold power, and if the Wynne government continues to spend like drunken sailors on shore leave - generations of Ontario residents will be buried under a mountain of debt from which they may never escape.

• SAYING IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA •

A roundup of reactions online The story: Newmarket opens its first indoor play park at the Ray Twinney Complex It was better at the mall; customers can take a break and sit with their kids and let them have fun and blow off steam and then carry on with your shopping. It was great for grandma to watch kids while their momma shopped and then meet up again. They will find a lot of revenue gone also as people went there to take their kids to have fun and then while they were there they shopped before or after, what good is at Ray Twinney?

Tanya Preston What good does that do when you want to occupy your kids while shopping at Upper Canada Mall????? ??????

Sharon Teetzel

The story: York ’family men’ caught in child prostitutes sting I don’t care if it’s a first offence, if it involves children, it should be treated like it’s a 10th offense. Don’t give these monsters a chance to do this again.

Throw the book at them.

Dawn Dyer Porter

The story: Ghost town Markham: Area plagued by vacant houses, crazy real estate market Considering the new tax killed the York Region market, I don’t think it’s a good thing ... house 10 days on the market and not 1 showing. I think the government needs to butt out!!!!! The high cost of buying a home would’ve put us mortgage free and given a chance for my 3 kids to have a financially secure future. Way to go!

Victoria Knox It’s not just Markham, it’s everywhere in Ontario e.g. Durham houses in Ajax are being left empty as well ... that’s why we were very keen on a family buying ours.

What changes do our schools need?

• LETTERS • All-candidates events important Re: EDITORIAL: They’re called all-candidates debates for a reason, April 6.

The opinion of the editor is very commendable with regard to the by byelection held in Markham-Thornhill.

We had seven prospective candidates throw their hats in the ring vying to represent us in the House of Parliament. The residents did not have an opportunity to know them, only a handful of their supporters roaming around asking to support their candidates.

It is very unfortunate for your valued news media or any other sources informing the residents about the intended debate organized by John Richardson.

It is very disappointing the front runners in the election, including the candidate from the Libertarian Party, did not participate for reasons of their own. There were no mention about the rest of the candidates!

I fully support the opinion of the editor: "A healthy democracy involves the people, and all candidates meetings and other such events are an important part of the process".

I trust the candidate who won the byelection will represent the residents of Markham-Thornhill with the hope of improving the riding in the near future.

Kingsley George Markham

Technocracies trump democracies Re: EDITORIAL: Time for local elections to embrace technology, April 20.

The Advocate’s "Time for local elections to embrace technology" is a flawed, onesided propagandistic editorial. The Internet informs and dis-informs on massive scales, just as milgramed opinions of the editor sans origins and bylines accomplish.

Programmers, black and white hats prove vulnerabilities exposing everything from e-banking, phones and cars (www.wikileaks.com).

Princeton documented faults in DieBold machines who profiteer from e-voting using little security compared to their ATMs. Investigative reporters continually find e-voting fallible; Robert Mackey (www.theintercept.com) and the documentary ’Invisible Ballots’.

I use ’democracy’ in quotations because we practice a heavily propagandized state or practiced continuance of; plutocratic, oligarchical, capitalistic, corporatocracy led by a world bankocracy headed by kakistocracys’ all promoting old mercenary insane kleptocratic rule.

Embracing electronic voting for ease, increased

voter turnout and affordability leads to an abysmal continuance of the same states. Forever emboldening anti-human economical technocracies similar to computerized algorithmic trades world financial institutions practice.

Municipalities are incorrect and uninformed voting for fully electronic voting systems that eliminate simple verifiable publicly accountable paper trails. Purposefully? Electronic voting is another tool of a deep state (DARPA’s Internet) that will obfuscate ’democratic’ accountability by altering lines of code and humanity in the process.

JOC situation feels like case of déjà vu Re: ’It’s a mess’: Aurora councillors upset operations centre over budget, April 20, 2017.

The Joint Operations Centre, (JOC), is an example of another failure of delivering a project on time and on budget in Aurora. It is not a case of just missing the mark a wee bit, but the project is 7 per cent, ($1.5 million), over budget. The flaws in the completion of the building, such as designing and building stairs at the back of the building, have also delayed the full operation of the JOC. Some councillors, such as Wendy Gaertner, Tom Mrakas, Harold Kim, Sandra Humphryes and John Abel, are on the case here and they want answers now. Gartner identifies at least three main problems in the JOC project. Overall, the council members called for an independent audit to get to the bottom of this mess.

Isn’t this a case of déjà vu?

Didn’t we experience an event similar to this just a few years ago with the renovation project of the Aurora Family Leisure Center?

This project was delayed in opening up by at least two months and was over budget. Furthermore, there were serious flaws in this building which a group of local citizens to asked the mayor and council to address. It was mainly due to the public outcry in the social media that these problems in the AFLC to get attention.

So, here we go again. Can we get it right now? As Wendy Gaertner summarizes, "Can we make something good out of a bad situation?"

Keep golf course ponds for wildlife’s sake

On behalf of the board of Music Aurora, we would like to thank the residents of Aurora for their tremendous support of the 6th Annual Aurora Winter Blues

Hi, my name is Megan and I’m 13 years old. I’m very upset that the developers of Highland Gate Golf Club will be removing the ponds -- especially the one on the 8th fairway.

The ponds have so much wildlife growing in them and ducks and swans swim in them every day. When its nice out and the sun is shining I at least see four or more ducks out swimming on the pond and I even often see swans.

The pond is a home for many wildlife creatures and it would be terrible if you took away their homes. The whole reason why I picked my room was because of the view, my view consists of the pond and I see ducks, and swans and it always makes me smile.

By removing the ponds you will be destroying their homes. You already have a whole golf course to put homes in. Do you really have to destroy many other creatures’ homes for only one more home.

Please think about what I have to say: It’s not just a kid who wants there to still be a pond; it’s many other people, too, who love the wildlife and seeing the ponds on a daily basis.

The event this year spanned the month of February with programming every weekend. We would like to thank our community partners the Aurora Public Library, the Aurora Cultural Centre, the Aurora Legion, St. Andrew’s College, The ARTS Music Store and the Aurora Farmers Market for hosting live music events as part of the AWBF.

To-date the AWBF has raised $84,890 for local charities thanks to the support of our community.

To all our wonderful volunteers and organizing committee who make this event possible, we thank you and appreciate your time, effort and passion - you’re the best!

We wish everyone an enjoyable summer and hope to see you around town supporting live music!

Is it time for more than patches to the education funding formula?

There has been lots of talk lately about school closings and unfair funding for rural and northern schools. The talk is not exaggerated. In People for Education’s 2016 Report on Ontario’s Publicly Funded Schools, we found a "geographic divide," where rural schools are less likely to have things like music teachers and guidance counsellors than their urban counterparts.

The province recently launched a consultation on rural education to be held in this month, to try to find ways to address some of those problems.

But what about urban education?

According to StatsCan, York Region has three of the four Ontario municipalities with the highest population growth in the country. Is it time to take a new look at education funding for urban areas as well? Areas like York Region are growing fast, need new schools and as the latest report on the York Region School Board shows, need more effective strategies to support growing and increasingly diverse populations.

It has been a long time since Ontario took a comprehensive look at its education policy. The last full review of the funding formula was 15 years ago, and the last Royal Commission on Education was in 1995.

A lot has changed since then. Populations have shifted, we know more about how kids’ brains work. There have been advances in special education, and the evidence is clear that the jobs of the future will require a more complex set of competencies and skills than is currently the focus in our schools.

So maybe we need more than patches to education funding. Yes, it’s important that Ontario figure out a way to support our rural schools more effectively. But rather than focusing on different geographic regions, how can we ensure that all of our children are getting the education they need?

If we want the next generation to grow up to be healthy, happy, economically secure, and civilly engaged, what kind of changes do we need in our schools? That’s the question we need to be asking across the province.

Major University hearing study seeks participants.

Connect Hearing, with a leading hearing researcher at Ryerson University, seeks participants for a hearing study investigating the factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada.

often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. By studying those people having difficulty in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

Why Research Hearing Loss?

1. Cruickshanks, K. L., Wiley, T. L., Tweed, T. S., Klein, B. E. K., Klein, R, Mares-Perlman, J. A., & Nondahl, D. M. (1998). Prevalence of Hearing Loss in Older Adults in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin: The Epidemiology of Hearing Loss Study. Am. J. Epidemiol. 148 (9), 879-886.

Deep inside our ears are several thousand microscopic “hair cells.” These cells are arranged in rows and each cell is responsible for hearing a specific pitch, similar to the keys on a piano. As we age, some of these cells become damaged… from loud noises, chronic conditions, or the process of aging itself. Just like a piano with damaged keys, an ear with damaged hair cells will make things sound muffled and distorted.

Interested people can register to be a part of this lifechanging hearing study* by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study.

For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day.

2. National Institutes of Health. (2010).

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss,1 but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help.2 This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people

About 100,000 tons of salt is applied to area roads annually Salt problem

l Continued from front

ment official Katie Thompson said.

"It is a challenge. As we get the amount of salt down, we’re always adding new roads which bump the numbers back up again. The solution is going to have to be collaborative; it’s going to take the provincial government, municipalities, residents, businesses and conservation authorities all working together to improve our practices."

Some insect populations in tributaries are already showing damage, Bill said.

"The operational guys can tighten up their practices, then we build another kilometre of road that we need to maintain," Bill said. "We’re fighting against ourselves, unfortunately."

Residents can take steps to help

their municipalities reduce reliance on salt, such as wearing boots with good traction and putting snow tires on their vehicles.

Municipalities can also encourage the construction of low-impact

developments and parking lots and businesses should participate in the LSRCA’s Smart About Salt training and certification program, to learn best usage practices, Bill said.

Each major urban centre in the Lake Simcoe watershed has a different approach to salt distribution. Here’s a brief overview of each municipality’s practice: Aurora Salt trucks are dispatched at the start of a snowfall and at the first sign of roads beginning to ice. Primary roads are salted when conditions require it. Secondary and residential roads at hills, curves and intersections are also salted.

Barrie City has scaled back levels of service on some tertiary roads by plowing, not salting. They only salt on arterial and collector roads, while local road receive

’pickled’ sand – which contains just enough salt to keep the product from clumping.

Newmarket The town uses a 50/50 salt and sand blend and the mixture is released from trucks using spinners that distribute based on the speed of the vehicle and the distance of the route. Town uses salt coated with organic product that activates at a lower temperature.

Orillia Salt is spread only on main (arterial) roads and some secondary collector streets. Salting occurs at the beginning of a snowfall to establish a melting point to help keep streets clear. The sand mixture used on all roads is typically 94 per cent sand and six per cent salt.

Symposium will help students transition

Turn off tap during water main spring clean TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com Newmarket is beginning its spring clean.

As part of its effort to ensure high-quality water, the town, in partnership with York Region, will begin its spring-cleaning water main program on May 8. The program is expected to take five weeks to complete, that is if the weather co-operates.

A foam sponge or

"swab" will be inserted into water mains through fire hydrants and pushed along with water pressure to clear sediment. The swab is then released through another fire hydrant.

Residents will receive a door hanger advising of the swabbing in their area at least 24 hours in advance and businesses 72 hours before by hand-delivered letter.

Prior to the scheduled

water main cleaning, residents should turn off their main water valve to prevent water use, fill a clean container with tap water for drinking and cooking and store it in the fridge, complete all washing of clothes and dishes and fill the bathtub with water for use around the house.

Residents are advised to avoid using water for any purpose during the eight- to 10-hour window the cleaning operations

TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com

are expected to take.

The town confirmed residents may notice some discoloration in their water. If this occurs, run a cold water tap until the water runs clear.

The sister and brother duo of Julie and Chris Banic of York Regional Police together raised more than $6,500 for the cause. YRP, fire and paramedic services, York Region Transit, GO Transit and OSPCA raised more than $60,000 at the Upper Canada Mall Saturday by shaving their heads in support of the Holland River Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. Below, York Regional Police Sgt. Michael Boris keeps a close eye on his son, Gabriel, as he gets his head shaved for the cause. Gabriel is a recent successful treatment patient.

Bald is beautiful: police staff lose locks for cancer battle JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com Almost everyone’s life in Canada has been somehow touched by cancer, but Julie Banic’s has been blighted by it.

The 30-year-old Aurora resident has already lost three grandparents and two uncles to the disease.

Then it was her mother Cathy’s turn. Luckily for the Richmond Hill family, the removal of her uterus and ovaries has left Cathy cancer free.

All these experiences have left Julie unafraid to demand her friends pony up when she decides it’s time to shave her head for her annual employer’s cancer drive - York Regional Police’s Cops for Cancer event.

"I’ve been bothering a lot of people," the 30-year-old former Cardinal Carter student said. "The good thing is I’m a girl, so for people it seems like a big deal and pretty funny, so people want to give money and come and see it happen."

Although Julie likes to re-

"It’s a growing disease," she added through a bout of laryngitis. "With heart disease, you can eat better, but with cancer it seems that no matter what you do, you can get cancer. It also seems like by the time they catch it, you have six months to live. That’s terrifying."

It was only two years ago

that Julie shaved her head and she did it again Saturday at Upper Canada Mall along with her brother, Vaughan cop Chris Banic.

"I have a lot of friends that are shocked . but I love it," she added. "After it’s done, I just sit at my desk and touch my

Rosanne Cash, Kiefer Sutherland headline Flato Theatre lineup TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com For a powerful performer with deep musical roots, Rosanne Cash never imagined herself on stage.

She’ll be at the Flato Markham Theatre - along with John Leventhal - in March, but four decades into a legendary career, the daughter of the iconic Johnny Cash always imagined herself a songwriter.

"From the age of nine, I knew I was a songwriter.

My deepest desire was to be in a quiet room somewhere

writing," she said on the phone from New York City last month.

"Now, performing is such an intrinsic part of my life, I can’t remember a time when it wasn’t paramount," Cash said.

"You can bring your best self and meet the audience in away that ministers to both me and them and see yourself reflected back ... live performance is very special in an age where everything can be received digitally."

Rosanne Cash, with John Leventhal, will be performing later this coming season as the Flato Markham Theatre announces its 2017-18 Diamond season of performances. Tickets will be on sale this coming Monday.

NOTICE OF PESTICIDE USE York Region West Nile Virus Mosquito Control Program: From May 22 to October 6, 2017, The Regional Municipality of York in conjunction with the York Region District School Board and York Catholic District School Board will be conducting a larvicide program under the authority of the Medical Officer of Health. The purpose of the program is to control larval mosquitoes to prevent their development into carriers of West Nile virus.

The pellet formulation of the larvicide methoprene (product name Altosid) with Registration No. 21809, Altosid XR briquets (methoprene) with Registration No. 27694, or Bacillus sphaericus (product name VectoLex WSP) with Registration No. 28009 under the Pest Control Products Act will be placed into catch basins along Regional and Municipal roads and in catch basins on private property as required.

In addition, the biological larvicide Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis (product name Vectobac), with Registration No. 18158 or VectoLex CG Registration No. 28008 under the Pest Control Products Act may be placed in ditches and temporary or permanent pools including storm water retention ponds if evidence of mosquito breeding is found.

All larvicide will be applied by Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change licensed applicators or trained technicians.

Larviciding is a low risk and effective measure for the control of West Nile virus when used in accordance with label directions. The slowrelease pellet formulation interferes with the mosquito life cycle, preventing the mosquito larvae from reaching maturity. It is not sprayed.

The products have been approved by both the provincial and federal governments and are considered low risk for humans, pets and the environment.

Former national coach Tony Fonseca lands top post at YRSA JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com The York Region Soccer Association hopes it has made a game-changing play.

The local organization announced Wednesday afternoon the appointment of former Canadian Soccer Association technical director Tony Fonseca to the newly created position of director of soccer.

Fonseca carries an impressive resume into the position, most recently serving as the technical director for the Canadian Soccer Association for the last five years. He has also been a head coach for Canadian men’s international teams including at the under-20, Olympic and nation-

Blue Jays’ influence a big hit in York Region high schools JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com The Toronto Blue Jays’ impact is hitting the high school diamonds, too, it seems.

While community programs are surging toward capacity at registration tables across the Greater Toronto Area and beyond, high school baseball is also enjoying booming interest with a significant increase in the number of teams slated to participate in the 2017 season.

A total of 46 schools will

field teams this spring, including 35 at the tier-2 level, marking a record for participation. That total figure is up from 41 schools last season and 38 for both the previous two years.

Play was supposed to open this week, but rain and wet playing fields scrubbed at least the first two days of play. In fact, the entire opening week slate is in jeopardy. Making up games will be a challenge.

Compounding the concern is the status of diamonds and playability which varies from one mu-

nicipality to the next.

"It’s tough getting (diamonds) early," said co-convenor Mark West. "The biggest problem is getting kids enough games before OFSAA declarations are due in."

Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) is unlikely to change dates for its regional tournaments, so perhaps modifications could be made at the source.

The actual play schedule amounts to approximately 13 potential dates once noplay days are inserted since

JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com

an OFSAA deadline awaits for regional playdown tournaments. Then there is the issue of weather, which is unpredictable.

"I would love to see a split season where we start in the fall and have more games in the spring," said West. "But I don’t know how we could switch it."

The numbers are encouraging. The players are willing.

Now, if only the weather would co-operate with a little sunshine and breeze to dry out diamonds.

A clash of York Region teams highlights the launch the League1 Ontario women’s division season for local fans this weekend.

The Unionville-Milliken Strikers make their league debut in a visit to Aurora to face Aurora FC at St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic High School. Game time is 4 p.m.

The Strikers joined the semi-pro league during the off-season.

For Aurora, it is the launch to their second season in the 11-team league.

The team finished last season with a 5-8-3 record to settle in a sixth place among nine teams.

Golf rarity strikes twice for Dowling father-son tandem

JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com Richard and Michael Dowling have a standing tee time for next April 26.

The father-son tandem will be marking the anniversary of a memorable round of golf Wednesday at Pheasant Run Golf Club.

The Aurora residents pulled off the remarkable and rare combination of a hole-in-one and an albatross during the same 18hole round at the 27-hole facility in Sharon.

Michael Dowling, who recently completed his first year of engineering at Queen’s University, holed

out with his second shot on the 467-yard, par-5 Highlands course sixth hole when he dropped a blind 180-yard shot into the hole.

Not to be outdone, his father scored a career first hole in one six holes later, hitting a nine-iron on the 133-yard Midlands No. 3.

Recalling buddies for-

warding emails of their golf exploits, Richard sent a photo of his son following his memorable shot.

"Then there was a picture of me an hour later," he said. "It was unbelievable.

A lot thought it was an April Fool’s-like joke but it really happened. The nice thing was to be with my son to share a special moment."

Both players finished with scores in the mid-90s.

"We’re not great golfers, just in the right spot at the right time," said Richard.

The Dowlings already plan to play again next April 26, hoping to reserve the same 10:20 a.m. tee time they played on Wednesday.

"I can’t say that I’ve seen that before," said Kent Maxwell, director of golf at Pheasant Run. "It is kind of

Richard and Michael Dowling one of those folklore stories you hear, like two holes in one in the same round.

What a special moment for them, father and son."

Odds of a hole-in-one for an average golfer are calculated to be 1 in 12,500. An albatross, or three shots below par, is 1 in 1 million.

U.S. Open local qualifier tees off at Beacon Hall JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com Monday is ’T’ Day at Beacon Hall Golf Club.

A field of 78 hopefuls will tee off May 8 at the prestigious Aurora course in search of a berth in the 117th U.S. Open to be held June 15 to 18 at Erin Hills Golf Club in Erin, Wisconsin. It is the local qualification round, or first step on the way to one of the PGA Tour’s major events, and marks the first time a U.S.

Open-related event has been held on Canadian soil.

And Beacon Hall is pumped for the test.

"The majors are where the pinnacle of golf is," said Beacon Hall’s head golf professional Drew Smythe.

"To be connected to the U.S. Open, which is considered one of the toughest (of the majors), is great. We’re thrilled to have it on our resume."

Teeing off at 7:30 a.m. in threesomes, the one-day

tournament will send the top five scores on to a regional event later this month. The Beacon Hall event is one of 114 local events leading to 10 regional qualifying tournaments.

The bulk of the field is comprised of Canadians.

"There is some meat in this field," said Phil Hardy, Beacon Hall’s membership director. "They are all good players when they’re on their games. Over a 72-hole tournament only a few strokes would separate

them from the (PGA Tour) field."

Among the local favourites to watch will be former Beacon Hall juvenile and junior star J.C. Deacon, who attended University of Nevada Las Vegas on a golf scholarship and now is coach for the University of Florida Gators men’s golf team.

Smythe, who spent nine years at Beacon Hall and returned in 2016, is confident the course will offer a solid test. That despite ear-

ly season conditions which prevent fescue from offering its best challenge and roughs that are shorter than usual.

"This is the best I’ve seen the course come out of a winter," he said. "The fescue and grass are starting to grow, but I’m not sure the course is as good as it is going to be. I don’t know what the CPGA has in mind for pin placements, so we may have to make it up on distance."

The 7,001-yard facility

blends a Carolinas feel on the front nine with a linksstyle finishing nine. Designed by the late Bob Cupp, Beacon Hall is annually rated among the elite golf courses in Canada.

"We’re in great shape and the whole club is looking forward to it," said Smythe.

Eight players will be teeing it up in a pro-am event Sunday afternoon.

The public is welcome to attend. There is no admission charge.

Soccer in region grapples with declining numbers Soccer is slumping.

It is strange indeed that the most popular sport in Canada, based on registration numbers, should be facing a second straight year of decline in registration, especially in Ontario.

Just goes to reinforce the notion that cyclical is reliably consistent.

Until recently, it looked like nothing could stop soccer’s surge except maybe a shortage of facilities. But with numbers down 6 per cent across York Region Soccer Association in 2016 double in some centres and more of the same on the way this year, there is cause for concern. Despite culture demographics in York Region shifting toward cul-

JOHN CUDMORE Cuddy Shark tures for which soccer is a first choice sport, the numbers are slipping.

Let’s not get too panicky.

Soccer remains crazy popular. Consider, hockey numbers are in a tight downward spiral, too.

The numbers crunch has led YRSA executive director Vicki Hall to seek an-

swers from the 15 member clubs.

"Instead of all the clubs figuring it out for themselves on their own, we’ll do it district-wide," she said prior to a meeting of senior district officials Tuesday afternoon. "We’re not panicking right now, but we are trying to get a handle on the trend. We need to stay on top of it.

"If kids are playing other sports, that’s great, we want kids to be active, although we think soccer is the best way to do that."

The intent was to provide paths to high-performance levels for athletes in an array of sports.

When the concept of not keeping score until players

were at least 13 years of age was mandated in 2012 as part of the long-term player development by provincial and national governing bodies, eyebrows raised.

The intent was to create more high-performance athletes. By removing competition, essentially, players are practising. Endlessly.

"A ton of it is really good stuff," said YRSA director of development Spencer Kanen, of the player development concept. "However, Ontario is the only province in Canada that has no scores, standings or travel.

It used to be ages four to seven there were no scores or standings.

"I don’t see any possible

reason to not have scores until players are 14. Soccer is the only sport to do this. I have got to believe it is taking its toll, that we took it too far and are way over the top."

In 2016, YRSA registration dipped from about 52,000 by 3,500, said Kanen, also president of Aurora FC. The vast majority of the decline is at the entry and house league levels.

Even the high-performance OPDL program holds off on scores and standings until after the under-13 season.

The no scores policy is intended to relax the pressure on winning and allow kids to focus on developing skills. But learning to com-

pete is not a bad thing, is it?

"It is a hard sell to parents who want competition for their kids," acknowledged Hall. "A lot of them want their children to learn about winning and losing."

There are other theories for the shrinking enrolment. The Toronto Blue Jays’ impact is a biggie.

Maybe the removal of the Canadian Fitness Tax Credit has an impact.

Youths are opting to cut back year-round play, but the development plan seems to be at the front of the line.

Maybe it is this simple: parents love taking their future Ronaldo in the backseat for an ice cream as reward for scoring a goal.
