5 NEWS

York real estate housing boom stopped cold in tracks TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com What went way up just had to come way down.

That’s the real estate story right now, according to someone who should know - Darryl King.

"I predicted back in December, don’t think that this (boom) is going to last forever. You knew there had to be a change. It’s like driving a car and putting your foot to the pedal and driving it full blast; sooner or later something in that car is going to pop," King said.

Lauren Haw, CEO of Zoocasa, who crunched York Region’s real estate numbers, said the biggest story is the steep drop from April 2017 through June 2017.

"Over that period, we saw a 55.5 per cent decline in sales for detached homes and a 19.3 per cent decline in condo sales, as well as an 11.7 per cent decline in house prices and a 19.3 per cent decline in condo prices."

King wasn’t surprised the

numbers reveal year-over-year sales from June 2016 to June 2017 show a whopping 60.9 per cent drop in detached home sales in York Region. For condos the slide over the same period is less precipitous, 36.1 per cent. House prices were up 7.5 per cent over the same one-month period, but compare that to earlier months in 2017 when the year-over-year comparison showed prices up by over 30 per cent. Condo prices were up 25.5 per cent from June 2016 to June 2017.

King, a veteran realtor who, with his team of agents, sells luxury real estate throughout York Region, said the reason for the drop was simple: a huge glut in housing supply on the market compared to earlier in the year and late last year.

"The supply increased by 47 per cent. Everybody was waiting and wanted to cash out but some waited too long. Where before you Metroland file photo l See HUGE, page 7

Long-lost brothers together again LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com

Mike Barrett/Metroland

Brothers Mike Theriault (left) and Rene Swan were finally reuntied in Newmarket Thursday after decades apart.

Last December, Mike Theriault talked about the crew at Newmarket’s Ground Burger Bar as the closest thing he could imagine to family.

"This is the best job I’ve had.

They’re human here," he said in a York Region Media Group news story that described how the team had taken him under their wing permanently after he was initially placed on a short-term job readiness program through Inn from the Cold.

But Theriault longed to find the only real family he has, his long-lost brother, René.

Swan, 58, acknowledged his stomach was in knots in anticipation as he took public transit to visit his brother.

His nerves faded away when he saw Theriault.

"I was ultimately very excited because I knew this was a very long time coming. I felt a combination of happiness, excitement and relief," he said.

"I’m still having my moments of pinching myself that I’m here today."

The brothers grew up separately when they were made Crown wards after their father ended up in prison and their

On July 6, his dream came true when the brothers, who had searched for each other for years, met for the first time in more than 40 years, an opportunity made possible when René saw the article through Facebook.

"I was weeping when I read what he said," said René, a recording artist in London known as René Swan.

"I had tears rolling down my cheeks. I was weeping, ’I’m right here, Mike, I’m right here’."

Theriault, 55, felt "overwhelmed" as he and his brother rekindled their relationship at Snack Mrkt beside Ground Burger, both owned by Grant Buckley.

CRIME

Vaulter Bandit pleads guilty JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

York Regional Police handout

Jeffrey Shuman pleaded guilty to seven armed robberies.

If it wasn’t for one careless mistake the vaulter bandit might still be on the loose, robbing banks.

Unfortunately for him, he forgot the black Staples clip board he was using as part of his construction worker disguise in bank robberies behind while robbing one Mississauga bank.

It was through the finger print left on this clipboard that York police investigators, via the FBI, were not only able to discern the vaulter bandit was Jeffrey Shuman, but also that he used to go by the moniker the Reebok bandit when he robbed banks in the United States in the nineties On Wednesday, July 5, Shuman pleaded guilty to seven armed robberies of the 17 robberies he is alleged

ON NOW AT THE BRICK!

to have committed, mostly in York Region, including Vaughan, Markham and Richmond hill. He also robbed banks in Ottawa, Toronto and Mississauga.

The robberies appeared to take two forms, including approaching the teller and vaulting over the counter, which is where he got his name. The other form involves meeting employees at the front door of the bank at opening time, showing them a firearm, which Shuman claims to have been a pellet gun.

On one occasion he told the ladies that he would eventually lock in the vault, "Happy Mother’s Day".

In total, he admitted to stealing about $450,000. But when police raided his apartment in France, where he was living at the time of his arrest, they found a garbage bag full of 100,000 Euros. After one bank robbery he bought a Rolex watch in Yorkville for upwards of

$11,000 cash.

Shuman is a dual American and French citizen with no ties to Canada. Melissa Montemurro told the court she believes Shuman was only in Canada to rob banks.

After he was finished, he would fly home to some of the exotic locales he called home, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

He was vacationing in Geneva when he was tracked down by European authorities in 2015.

Shuman has been described as the most prolific bank robber in Canadian history and is certainly the most prolific in York region history.

In its submission The Crown said they are asking for 17 years while the defence, Stephen Proudlove, is looking for between nine and 10 years.

Montemurro said the aggravating circumstances in the case, include the fact

that Shuman was a "serial" bank robber and essentially "incorrigible".

"Bank robbery is an occupation for Mr. Shuman," she said, adding that the psychological impact on the victims was immense.

Proudlove, meanwhile, said the mitigating circumstances from Shuman’s standpoint include the fact that at no point was there a chance for injury, considering his use of a pellet gun.

"At no point was anyone in danger of being shot," he told the court, adding that he gave up on more than one planned robbery because there were children in the bank.

He also cited one victim’s police interview when she admitted that Shuman hit her knee at one point and immediately apologized for the incident.

GAME CHANGERS

INNOVATION IS DISRUPTING OUR WORLD KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com Gone are the days of hailing a taxi, phoning in a hotel reservation, lining up for movie tickets and using cash for purchases in a boutique store.

Now you can do it all with the touch of a screen thanks to innovations like Uber, Airbnb, Amazon or Netflix - to name a few.

Call them the game changers; they’re shaking up society, altering our lives at an exponential rate.

"We stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another," predicts professor Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairperson of the World Economic Forum. "The transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before."

Digital technology has already fuelled dramatic changes. Now, Schwab says, the "fourth industrial revolution" is on its way, shaped by a fresh new wave of innovation.

Here’s a look at how these disrupters could impact our everyday life.

1760s to 1840s

1980s to 2000s

Transition from home production to machine production using water and steam starting in the mid-1760s.

Use of electronics and information to automate production, introduction of digital manufacturing, 3D printing and web-based companies.

Today

Use of electricity to establish an assembly line factory, introduction of the automobile 1900s.

Focus on automation and augmentation with smart and connected products that combine the physical, digital and biological worlds.

Old Technology

It could have been a disappointing day, but Saltzman, a technology expert and author, had a smartwatch. He paid for the day

How we spend our leisure time The travel business has been upended with the influx of online booking sites and rating services like TripAdvisor.

Now the sharing economy - including Airbnb, VRBO - is chipping away further, leading to disputes over municipal bylaws and local neighbourhoods engulfed by transients and tourists.

At the same time, allyou-can eat, buffet-style services are disrupting the entertainment world with services like Spotify and Google Music, ebooks and video-game streaming.

Next, Saltzman predicts, cars with data plans will link you to the strongest nearby tower, streaming content via an antenna atop your car.

to maintain the machines, work websites and social media."

No one aims for a hollowed-out plant that runs itself, he adds. "There’s a responsibility among business owners to ensure the workforce is prepared and adaptable, because if no one’s able to make a living in this brave new world, if everything’s automated, who will buy the products?"

with a tap of his wrist.

Mobile payment is just one way game changers are transforming our lives. Soon, Saltzman says, we could: • order a product, have it drone-delivered to our door, ID verified by photo and a receipt sent via email.

• order plans for a product and create it in our own home with a 3D printer.

• don a virtual reality headset or sensor gloves to browse stores and try on clothes at home; or walk through a mall with augmented glasses that overlay digital info about the product and whether it’s

cheaper somewhere else.

How we get around Speaking of cars, do you really need one anymore?

Uber - connecting drivers and riders - and Zipcars renting cars by the mile or minute - allow us to travel a la carte.

And if you do own a car, you may not need someone behind the wheel in a few years. This leads to new possibilities, says Saltzman.

"We can make money with our car while we’re not using it - letting it drive other people around.

Things are going to get pretty exciting."

But not everyone’s excited. The trucking indus-

try is one of many traditional industries sounding alarms over upheaval and job loss.

Where we work A fleet of autonomous trucks, driving across Europe last April, gave a hint of what’s ahead. Andrew McAfee, co-founder of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy, warns that trucking could be one of many industries where traditional middle-class jobs are at risk.

In its report Age of Disruption, Deloitte Canada warns the majority of Canadian businesses are not prepared for looming rapid advances in key technologies - and will not sur-

vive.

Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship reports that nearly 42 per cent of the tasks Canadians are currently paid to do can be automated using existing technology.

But some, like Newmarket business owner Attila Vinczer, are optimistic about our ability to adapt.

Repetitive assembly jobs in his tool-and-die plants are moving toward automation, but he still views himself as a job creator.

"I still hire, but the jobs are different and require different skills like computer expertise and ability

How does one cope, then, in a world where everything is changing?

Experts say the "soft skills" will be essential, but Steve Joordens, psychology professor at the University of Toronto, warns those are the skills we are most in danger of losing, as we isolate in our silos of convenience, plugged into smartphones, live-streaming individual movie choices, interacting in superficial ways on social media, no longer chatting with cashiers or strangers in bankteller queues.

Kids, especially, aren’t learning skills like small talk and conversational turn-taking, he says.

Older generations may worry about how they’ll keep up, while younger ones struggle with expectations. Professors lament that students expect them to be available 24-7; employers say young new hires expect to be promoted to management in two years because that’s how quickly the rest of the world works.

From smarthomes to smartphones, we are eager to trade off privacy and security in exchange for convenience - but is that really so smart?

Joordens suggests we should prepare ourselves for this fast-changing world by forcing ourselves to slow down and carving out regular digital-free times for "mindfulness."

Sheila Embleton, a professor and former provost at York University, agrees.

"Those things that have always stood people in good stead will continue to: critical thinking, being adaptable to change, able to have good relationships.

"One can decry the loss of the old world, but we’re all having to adapt. When we link the best of the old with the new, we will end up with something that’s altogether better."

– Darryl King only had one house, now you’ve got 10 on the market and now you can’t sell that house," said King.

He said early in the year, on the contrary, there were eight buyers for every one house, driving the bids way past the initial asking price.

"From January until May, the market was driving full out. Interest rates were so low, Vancouver had imposed a (15 per cent) foreign tax (that Ontario didn’t impose until mid-April) and we had one of the lowest amounts of listings we’d had in many years," King said.

"We had an over-surplus of buyers and everybody was getting multiple offers. A good rate of return is normally 4 to 8 per cent a year. In East Gwillimbury, those rates of return were 69 per cent.

They’re just not realistic. Now you have an overabundance of houses on the market," he said in explaining the huge drop in sales and decrease in price increases.

"Everybody was waiting to cash out and some just waited too long," he said.

Real estate agent Anne Cairns agreed with King, saying: "No doubt the market has slowed down. It has to be assessed in looking at how fast it went up. Nobody was ever going to be able to afford a home, nobody," she said at late 2016 and early 2017 prices.

GAME CHANGERS

Death of child spurs drive for drone technology LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com In an emotional encounter a couple of years ago, the chief of a remote First Nations community told Tony Di Benedetto about the death of a child.

Suffering from a respiratory illness, the youngster needed an inhaler, but there wasn’t one available in the village.

"For them to get a puffer there just-in-time was thousands of dollars to charter a plane or helicopter or whatever they needed to do," Di Benedetto said.

The community had to wait until the next plane of supplies arrived several days later.

Unfortunately, by that time, the child had died.

Di Benedetto’s Vaughan-based company, Drone Delivery Canada, is working to make sure that never happens again.

Launched in 2014, the drone technology logistics company is working with governments and indigenous peoples to introduce drones capable of getting medicine, groceries and other items to Canada’s isolated communities.

"We said wouldn’t it be great if we can utilize this technology to bridge this gap that exists. People keep talking until they’re blue in the face that they’re going to build roads and infrastructure for these

Tony Di Benedetto is the CEO of Drone Delivery Canada Inc. Drone Delivery is a pioneering technology firm based out of Vaughan with a focus on designing, developing and implementing a commercially viable drone delivery system within the Canadian geography. communities. The reality is, where are they going to get the money and how long is this going to take?" Di Benedetto said.

"But there’s a real problem today. Food, for example, in these communities is incredibly expensive ... We said we can utilize drones to provide just-in-time ac-

"But there is a real life application here for Canada’s north, where you can consider it humanitarian in what it’s doing. It’s a great place to start and it’s the right type of geography. We’re the leaders in this."

Drone Delivery Canada’s aim in northern Canada is more humanitarian, although it is also exploring profitable ideas with private companies.

Not only will drones reduce transportation costs, but the operation will create jobs in remote communities, Di Benedetto said.

EDITORIAL | OPINION

• EDITORIAL •

We must learn to adapt to game-changers It’s long been said the only constant is change.

All one needs to do is examine the pace at which new technologies are altering our daily lives to recognize that the age-old phrase is truer now, perhaps, than it has ever been.

Consider that in a relatively brief span of time, hailing a taxi, booking a hotel reservation over the phone, and renting a movie at the video store have all become things of the past.

Instead, more and more people get a lift via Uber, secure a place to stay through any number of hotel booking websites or Airbnb, and rely on internet-based video streaming services, such as Netflix, to watch films or catch up with their favourite television shows.

If you think those innovations are something, buckle up, because many more are on the way. These so-called game-changers are heralds of what professor Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairperson of the World Economic Forum, calls "the fourth Industrial Revolution".

What will the next wave of innovations look like?

Well, experts envision being able to receive your online purchases via drone delivery, having the power to buy plans for an item and 3D-printing it at home, and even visiting a store from the comfort of your home thanks to virtual reality. You can also expect the "sharing economy" to not only persevere, but increase in the future.

As much as many of those developments sound exciting, they, and others, possess the potential to cause substantial disruptions for existing industries. For example, the trend toward increased automation will directly impact many of us, with the Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship estimating nearly 42 per cent of the tasks Canadians are currently paid to do could be at risk of being replaced by technology.

As with any seismic shift, one can view what’s coming as a crisis or an opportunity. And, while it won’t always be easy, it’s likely best to take the latter view as resisting change of this magnitude is most likely futile anyway.

"One can decry the loss of the old world, but we’re all having to adapt," professor and former provost at York University Sheila Embleton says. "When we link the best of the old with the new, we will end up with something that’s altogether better."

She’s right. We can’t always control what changes and challenges will be thrown at us, but we can control how we react.

Like the dinosaurs, our choices will essentially boil down to evolve or else.

• SAYING IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA •

A roundup of reaction online The story: ’I was weeping, I’m here Mike, I’m here,’ long-lost brother says I love this stuff!! As an adoptee myself at age 43 that has never found my birth mother or any family, I find bittersweet joy for these two. congratulations!

Lynn Steele I found my mothers birth mother and father it took 3 years it was worth the work.

Kathy Stockman

The story: Cycling child dead after being hit by truck in Richmond Hill Was the boy riding on the road? It doesn’t indicate that if so at that age he sure shouldn’t have been on the road nevertheless this is so so sad. Poor parents my heart goes out to them.

Cheryl Rooney

The story: Upper Canada Mall butt-grabbing sexual assault suspect charged I think sexual assault perps also need to pay financially for the lifetime of PTSD trauma they cause their victims! Treatment- lost wages- emotional damage! Time to pay up for their stupid actions!

Stephen John Thank you YRP. I have to admit, it’s a relief they got him. as it was still on my mind. Especially whenever I would cut through the mall parking lot to get to my doctors, I’d often be on high alert. Mainly because he didn’t care if women were with kids or pushing strollers, and I didn’t want my girls experiencing that.

Kristine Hughes Finally. Just awful for women to have lived in fear of this jerk on the loose Judy Papa

The story: Aurora girl dies in East Gwillimbury collision, two kids in critical condition Horrific!! My heart aches for the precious angel that lost her life. May her family find the strength to live through this most difficult time. God Bless Tania Soldatos Georgiev

This is directed to all homeowners (or renters) in the neighbourhood who do not bother cutting their lawns until they are kneehigh and covered in weeds.

Why on earth wouldn’t you just go and live in a condo where you don’t have the bother of any outdoor maintenance?

The bottom line is that your neglect brings down the value of my neighbourhood, which in turn, affects the value of my own home.

If I wanted to live in a weedfilled meadow, I would move north of the city, where I would have the added benefit of outdoor peace and quiet - a treasure that has also become extinct these days in Markham neighbourhoods.

Please be aware of others around you, and try to show some consideration for the people who share your block.

Pride versus humility For many, pride is a vice rather than a virtue. Excessive pride, known as hubris, causes the demise of prominent and average people alike. In fiction, we are warned against hubris through the likes of Macbeth, Gatsby, or Walter White.

If every human trait has its opposite, either positive or negative, humility opposes pride. It shuns pride’s hunger for superiority and admiration. It replaces pride’s brash need for recognition with quiet strength.

While we all know pride’s dictionary meaning as "a high or inordinate opinion of one’s dignity, importance, merit, or superiority as cherished in the mind or displayed in bearing, conduct, etc.", we accept the recent glorification of pride as a virtue, and we agree - willingly or by tacit approval - to celebrate it in us or others. Doing so, we acquiesce to the obvious contradictions of this stance - if we are a society of equals, why should we celebrate anyone’s sense of superiority? If those proud of their own sexual preference were born that way, and - by their own admission - did not choose it, what are they proud of ?

I can easily imagine opposing opinions ready to resent my view, or lecture me about the history of discrimination and other persuasive manoeuvres that do not change the facts: equality does society more good than a sense of superi-

past, we still choose to lie to ourselves in the present since in a society of equals no one deserves special rights.

Hence, I’d rather walk with humility than parade with pride.

No place in the world better than Canada What do I love most about Canada?

I’ve been travelling for close to a year and I get this question a lot. So, since it’s Canada’s 150th birthday, I’ve decided to give it an answer.

What I love most about Canada - we’re not just one.

Not one culture or one religion. Not one language or one education system.

Not one season, one climate or one sport. Not one political party or one government system. Not one type of family or one type of marriage. Not one type of industry or one type of economy.

Not just provinces but territories too. Not just rock but fertile fields and forests. Not just land but surrounded by sea. We cannot be defined by one.

We are about choice. We can chose who to be, what to be, where to be, and if we want to be. We can chose to believe or not, to support or not, to speak out or not, and to demonstrate or not.

We are a product of not one. Not one background, one place, one lifestyle, one heritage, or one story. Yes, we are multicultural, but it is so much more than that.

We are constantly in flux reinventing ourselves, refining ourselves, re-educating ourselves and renewing ourselves.

We support, defend and assist those in need. Yes, we say sorry a lot, but that’s because we are a nation of empathetic people, aware of our diversity and celebrating not just what makes us different, but what brings us together as the same.

We don’t have a national food, we have regional foods based on location, culture, heritage and tradition.

We are not showy but worth noticing. We are workers getting things done and defining the future. We are new inventions, patents, research, and discoveries. We are a land full of entrepreneurs branching out into new fields not yet defined. We are the future.

Am I proud to be Canadian?

You bet I am.

There is no better place on earth.

Happy 150th Canada!

Service improvement for Stouffville GO line debatable Starting June 24, 2017, GO Transit are boasting of adding more train services in the morning and evening to and from Union Station on the Stouffville line.

Did they mention anything about the cutting of bus services? No, not at all.

Take the evening schedule, for example. Today, we have 20 bus services from Union northbound between 8 p.m. and 11:20 p.m.

However, starting June 26, there are only four trains for the same period of time.

Today, the 8 p.m. from Union will arrive at Stouffville at 8:49 p.m.; now, for the same time, the 8 p.m. train from Union stop at Unionvilles then transfers to a bus to Stouffville which arrives at 9:20 p.m. It means 30 minutes more with the new schedule. e are encouraged to take public transit but for the Stouffville residents who have a lack of transit support, we are forced to drive if we choose to stay at this community.

I hope we can voice our concerns to Metrolinx for not cheating us. Bring us a better service, not a worse one.

On my way home from the Canada Day classic car show on Main Street in Stouffville, I stopped at No Frills for a few groceries Being a senior, I only needed a few.

I lay my wallet on the seat of the bicycle and separated a few grocery bags from my bicycle and then went into the store.

A few minutes later, I was in line at the checkout and I reached for my wallet.

It was not there.

Oh no, I had left it on the bicycle seat. I left my groceries and rushed out to find it was not on my bicycle seat either. It was indeed gone.

It was an emotional moment for this senior citizen.

My wallet is very important to me.

As I returned to the store to explain, two new Stouffville residents were standing there checking people’s faces. They had found the wallet and found a photo ID in it, and were looking for the face - my face.

I am so grateful for what they did.

Because of my travels when I was younger I thought I should say thank you to them in Hindi.

Which they understood.

A Canadian experience of a good deed on Canada Day 150.

What is the main difference between local government, and provincial and federal government? The lack of an opposition party.

Opposition will question decisions and policy, review budgets with astute precision, and encourage debate and collaboration.

The absence of organized opposition is the fundamental flaw in local government.

Local government, however, bristles at opposition.

Why? There is no active, regular opposition, and hence, elected officials do not feel the need to address concerns. Furthermore, local government officials recognize taxpayer apathy (36 per cent voter turnout during the last election), allowing them to operate without scrutiny.

Case in point: when our organization, the Newmarket Taxpayers Advocacy Group Inc. (NTAG), questioned the lack of due diligence and subsequent cost overrun on a municipal project (a frequent occurrence in Newmarket) the response from the mayor was "It’s easy to sit in the balcony and fire off press releases."

Rather than acknowledging a problem, or suggesting increased due diligence to ensure minimum cost overruns in the future, the detractors are contemptuously mocked.

Whom do you think pays for the tax overruns?

NTAG has questioned the millions of dollars of cash injections given to Main Street, Newmarket businesses and property owners. This program, the Newmarket Downtown Development Committee (NDDC), is funded by taxpayers.

At issue is not the program. At issue is the lack of transparency and accountability.

Several citizens, most of them with financial interests on Main Street, make up this committee. It is they who decides whom shall receive NDDC money and for what purpose.

We found countless examples of loans and grants awarded that did not meet written criteria. Of great concern was members of the NDDC, those responsible for doling out our money, had received money for their own properties and businesses - all while serving on this committee. This is a conflict of interest.

We voiced our concerns to Newmarket council. One of the nine councillors responded. Neither the mayor nor the ward councillor responsible for Main Street responded. Despite providing council with glaring examples of conflicts and misuse of taxpayer-funded monies, the one councillor replied, "I would trust our council representation and staff to bring this forward if they felt there were issues of concern."

No issues here. Please leave us alone. We know what is best.

Elected local government officials are accountable to us for the way they behave in carrying out their responsibilities.

‘Mommy, why do people drink and drive?’

JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

Jeremy Grimaldi/Metroland

(Left) Harry, Milly and Daniel Neville-Lake were killed in a 2015 collision, when the vehicle they were in was hit by an impaired driver. (Right) Three of Daniel Neville-Lake’s friends stand by as Const. Andy Pattenden speaks to the media during the launch of York Police department’s summer impaired driving campaign in Richmond Hill, June 30. and two-year-old Milly as part of a new York Regional Police campaign attempting to halt impaired driving.

On June 30, York police held a press conference to launch the campaign with three of Daniel’s friends, behind them officers conducting a RIDE program handed out flyers in front of Richmond Hill police station in the lead up to the Canada Day long weekend, a notoriously bad time for impaired drivers.

Statistics show that since the Neville Lake tragedy, impaired arrests have been rising, reaching 1,265 in 2016. So far this year they are down, but only slightly to 549.

It was at the end of September 2015 when then 29year-old Marco Muzzo,

from King, plowed into a van carrying an entire generation of the Neville-Lake family also killing the family grandfather, Gary Neville, from King and badly injuring the grandmother and great-grandmother.

Muzzo, returning from his bachelor party in Miami, was drunk and eventually sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Jack’s mother, Karen Lidster had always been close to Daniel’s mother Jennifer Neville-Lake, who grew up in Richmond Hill.

However, it was through their children that their relationship truly blossomed, spending every one of the each other’s big moments together.

Their children could often be found playing with

cars, spraying each other with water or jumping, running and climbing together in local playgrounds.

"I always described Daniel as ’the policeman’," said Lidster. "He knew the rules of life. He would guide Jack, who has trouble understanding social structure, he didn’t come to get him in trouble when he didn’t share, he would support him and teach him. He was kind, he just understood."

As part of his autism, Jack regularly shuns the chance to leave his comfort zone, often saying "no" to opportunities to do countless exciting activities.

But Lidster never once heard the word no when it came to the chance to go to Daniel’s house and weeks before the crash both fami-

lies went to the Toronto Zoo together.

When the Lidsters were confronted with the reality of what had happened to the Neville-Lake family, they all dealt with it in different ways.

Lidster, still to this day, struggles to put into words the emotions that coursed through her body that day.

The only words she can really pronounce about the children is: "There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about them."

Lidster’s younger son Alan, 10, asked her plenty of questions after the crash: "How and why did it happen? Why do people drink and drive?"

Jack, who is not as articulate, didn’t have any questions, to the point where

YorkRegion.com

Two weeks after the infamous drunk driving crash that killed the three NevilleLake children and their grandfather, little Jack Lidster was to have his first sleepover.

His guest was to be one of his closest friends, the eldest child to die in the collision, Daniel, 9.

This was not a minor event in either boys’ life.

So important was the sleepover that Daniel, who’d never before spent the night at a friend’s home, requested a "practice" sleepover at another friend’s home to test the waters.

That sleepover, he was able to attend.

For Jack - who lives with a mild form of autism - the sleepover, scheduled to occur the weekend after Thanksgiving, was so important when York police asked him to draw a picture of how the crash affected him two years later, he created a true work of art.

The picture shows a sad now 12-year-old Jack sitting on his bed, and the misspelled words of a brokenhearted boy: "Drinking and driving stoped my friend from comeing to my house."

This image along with a slew of others, were created by the classmates and friends of Daniel, Harry, 5

Lidster thought the memory of Daniel may end up fading over time.

However Jack’s picture, the idea for which was completely unprompted by her, has changed her thinking.

"I am surprised how long that image (of the sleepover) stuck with him," the emergency room nurse said. "Now I believe it will always be with him."

Similar to how everyone knows where they were when 9/11 occurred, Lidtser believes Daniel’s passing will be her son’s catastrophic event, a time reference in his life.

Lidster says the York police campaign has the power to change people’s perspective on drunk driving, which she says still needs plenty of work, explaining how it continues to break her heart to hear people make jokes about drinking and driving.

"I hear them, when it comes up, they say, ’Oh, I’ll just take the back roads," she said. "I get mad and say, ’No, people die, my friend’s kids all died; it’s not funny’."

As for how Neville-Lake is recuperating from the colossal loss of life, Lidster relayed the experience the best way she knows how, from the perspective of a mother of two boys.

"Imagine waking up every morning expecting your kids to run into your room and give you a cuddle, only to realize they’re not there anymore," she said. "It’s absolutely devastated their lives."

Meanwhile, in Lidster’s home, she still struggles to answer her son’s last question. "Mommy, what stops another friend from dying from a drunk driver?"

"I just don’t have an answer for that," she said, tearfully.

Burned male found at scene of cafe explosion charged with arson When York police in Vaughan were approached by a disheveled man in the early hours June 29 suffering from obvious injuries, they didn’t know what to think.

Although he was complaining of being beaten up, officers decided he need to be arrested after discovering nearby Caffe Corretto had exploded, destroying the eastern part of the building, revealing what appears to be gambling machines.

On July 5, York Regional Police charged Jose Munoz, 33, from Toronto for the ordeal, charging him with arson, mischief and possession of property obtained by crime.

Munoz has a laundry list of charges on record, including in Toronto and Oshawa, including drug possession, communicating for the purposes of prostitution, fail to comply with recognizance dating back as far as 2003.

Residents said the cafe on Woodbridge’s Winges Road, near Hwy. 7 and Weston Road, was a gambling den, but York police have not confirmed this.

Munoz appeared in Newmarket court July 5.

Police say they are seeking a second suspect in connection with the explosion, but have not released a description of the suspect.

Investigators are also seeking surveillance and dashcam footage from the area

’Rainbow child’ follows the storm of miscarriage Growing support for women who miscarry includes PAIL Network, early pregnancy clinics at hospitals AMANDA PERSICO apersico@yrmg.com There are no words to describe the tragedy behind the loss of a child.

Imagine if there was no child yet, just an idea and dream of something starting to grow.

"I lost it the second my mom picked up the phone," said the teary-eyed, Aurora resident Karen Kramer-Lee. The elementary school teacher called her mother, unable to tell her face-to-face of the miscarriage she suffered just days before.

"I said, ’I’m not talking about it.

I was pregnant. I miscarried.’

Then I hung up the phone."

In April 2016, the 30-something mom went for a routine threemonth pregnancy checkup for her second pregnancy. Her blood test was clear and pregnancy symptoms were normal.

"I was thinking everything was all good," she said.

But the doctor could not find the heartbeat and she was told the fetus stopped growing around nine or 10 weeks. The next few days were a blur with doctor appointments, ultrasounds and blood tests, but the dates are forever ingrained in her mind.

"I had no miscarriage symptoms," she said. "How do you make sense of it. Then you start thinking, why did this happen? And blame sets in."

According to medical experts, about 20 to 25 per cent of pregnancies end in a miscarriage within the first 20 weeks.

"A loss is a loss," said Pregnancy and Infant Loss Network (PAIL) manager, Michelle La Fontaine, who suffered a miscarriage about 12 years ago.

"Mothers are grieving a dream.

They have already connected with the idea of a baby; already have a

due date in mind."

PAIL is a free peer-led support network and collection of resources for grieving mothers and fathers.

Currently, those seeking support fill in an intake form online and are connected with one of 18 support groups in the province.

Along with specialized support for mothers grieving at any stage of pregnancy, PAIL also offers support for fathers, partners and family members.

This is the first year the former charity organization received regular funding from the provincial government, through the PAIL Awareness, Research and Care Act enacted in 2015.

PAIL now falls under the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for research and funding and is part of the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre umbrella.

Along with having a PAIL network in each community, the fiveyear goal is to have medical staff automatically refer patients to PAIL, La Fontaine said.

Local hospitals have also recognized a lack of specialized care for women suffering a miscarriage.

Both Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) and Southlake Regional Health Centre have established early pregnancy loss clinics. Both clinics are a one-stop shop for tests and results as well as consultations with obstetricians and social workers.

"This is consistent care, for the physical and emotional needs and the grieving process," said Southlake’s maternal child program director, Lorrie Reynolds.

"We want women to leave here with a management plan for their needs."

Prior to going to a dedicated clinic, many women suffering a miscarriage landed in the emergency room only to be discharged with more questions than answers.

"There’s more to it than crisis management," said Cheryl Osborne, MSH childbirth and children’s services director. There’s the emotional and grief support

component of care as well.

"It’s a devastating event," Osborne said. "It breaks my heart. We want to help mothers move through the stages of grief as seamless as possible."

And proof the clinic is appreciated is seen in the number of women who return to the clinic with good news.

"They received the right care to get to the point of facing another pregnancy," Osborne said.

Last month, Kramer-Lee celebrated the birth of her ’rainbow child’, a son named Jordan.

That’s not to say her third pregnancy was not without added questions and anxiety, being more conscious of symptoms and more cautious telling people the news.

"You get the ’all good’ from doctors, but the fear is still there," she said, as she

knocks on the window sill behind her. "Touch wood, it doesn’t happen again."

The term ’rainbow child’ is growing in popularity, as a way for mothers to see past the storm and hurt of miscarriage - a new and personal version of ’light at the end of the tunnel.’

"It’s a way to acknowledge the loss," La Fontaine said.

"The new baby doesn’t overshadow or replace the loss. It doesn’t make it any easier or better. It’s a way to start a conversation."

But the term can also

be alienating as well, especially for mothers who don’t or can’t go on to have another child after a miscarriage, she added.

However labelled, both bereaved mothers agree there needs to be more conversation about pregnancy loss.

"By sharing stories we learn so much from the people around us.

You never know," said KramerLee. "It’s not talked about until one person starts talking about it."

COLUMN

It’s not just me: Sharing my personal experience with miscarriage Sometime in the spring, we would have celebrated the birth of a baby girl or boy.

But I miscarried in August 2016, at seven weeks gestation.

It wasn’t until I became pregnant with our ’rainbow child’ that I started talking about my experience. I would follow the ‘I’m pregnant’ statement with ‘It was a surprise. I had a miscarriage.’

The pregnancy hormones dropped and the fe-

AMANDA PERSICO apersico@yrmg.com tus stopped growing at five weeks.

I was referred to the Early Pregnancy Loss

Clinic at Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket. Health-care providers there were welcoming, gentle and kind during our time of loss.

Rather than have a procedure, I opted to let my body do the work of expelling and healing on its own.

There, my husband and I learned what to expect physically and where to turn for emotional support.

There were a lot of questions - what did I do wrong,

what could I have done better, why did it happen, would it happen again?

In my mind, I was not pregnant enough to grieve.

I was just starting to ’be’ pregnant. Connecting with a local Pregnancy and Infant Loss Network group, I was reminded that a loss is still a loss. That helped me grieve the dream of what could have been.

I often wonder what that unborn child would have looked like - dark hair and dark eyes like my hus-

band or fair skinned like myself.

At the time, I felt alone.

But now, I know it’s not just me. Ask around.

Someone in your circle of friends, coworkers and acquaintances has had a miscarriage.

The statistic: Between 20 and 25 per cent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage within the first 20 weeks. We all know of another statistic: one in four Canadians will die from cancer. The difference: we

talk about cancer and share survivor stories.

I took to social media to find another mom to share her story.

Scores of women chimed in - both those I knew and those I didn’t - to share their stories. It was heartwarming to know I was not alone and also heart wrenching to know it’s not talked about until you ask.

As women, let’s talk, share, grieve and support each other.

"To make more than par on the 18th would make me want to toss my clubs," laughed Watson. "It’s designed to finish with a good score."

Still, as with any other hole, you have to make your shots.

PANEL’S PICK: It was the Pro’s Tour’s first venture into Simcoe County and Mr. Wiggedy Whack gushed of the quaint and comfortable feel to the course.

Not so sure if that feeling remained after the eighth hole where approach shots that fall short of the upper level of a tiered green slide agonizingly back toward the fairway.

THE PRO’S VIEW: "You have to be reasonably precise for a short course," advised Watson. "You just can’t spray the ball around

Be wary of the stream which criss-crosses the course and comes into play on seven holes.

GIMME A LIFE MEMBERSHIP: Course conditioning and reasonable rates are always a winning combination.

"Our team has done a wonderful job grooming to manipulate the golf course and the setting is great," said Watson of the parklands/recreational style layout.

CLUB-TOSSING TIME: Everyone loves to walk away from their round with a smile.

Harbour View Golf & Country Club GENERAL MANAGER: Kevin Watson STATUS: Semiprivate SIGNATURE HOLE: For difficulty, the demanding 14th hole can be a handful.

From the tee box, a pond comes into play at the elbow of this par-4, 402-yard (middle tees) left dogleg.

The top-rated handicap hole on the 18-hole course also features a tree in midfairway about 100 yards out which demands precision accuracy to thread the needle or fly high and over to find the green.

Honourable mention: No. 3. Be sure to reach the corner on this par-5 dogleg right with your tee shot for a look down the tree-lined

fairway. The smart play is to be centre to left side in the landing area without over-hitting into the woods.

Proper club selection is vital.

TROUBLE AWAITS: It doesn’t take long to get into a telling part of the course.

Holes three through five - Harbour View’s modest version of Amen Corner sets the tone for the rest of your round.

"If you come out of this series of holes, you should have a reasonable score at the end of the day," said general manager Kevin Watson of this par-5-3-5 combo. "If not, your score will blow up in your face."

CURSE OF THE COURSE: Westerly winds make No. 17 a challenge.

Another big drive is needed to turn the corner and head for the green on this par-4 dogleg. Poke it over the

NEAR, Mary Gertrude (nee McKee) Passed away peacefully with her daughter by her side on Tuesday, July 11, 2017 at Southlake Regional Health Centre, Newmarket at the age of 89. Mary will be greatly missed by her daughter Brenda, son-in-law Neil Pearson and grandchildren Jessie and James, of whom she was so very proud!

She will be fondly remembered by her sister Margaret McKee, and other family. Mary is predeceased by her husband Gordon Near. They were married 62 years before his p a s s i n g i n 2 0 1 3 . To g e t h e r t h e y shared a passion for Canada which they explored by car and camping, from Newfoundland to Vancouver.

Mary was a great lover of the road less travelled and was happiest behind the wheel driving here and there discovering quaint shops and tea rooms. After Gord's passing she moved to Mount Albert to be close to her family. Here she continued to enjoy getting out to plays and musicals, another one of her passions.

A big thank you to the Southlake Palliative Care team who made Mary's last days as comfortable as possible. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Doctors Without Borders, a favourite charity of Mary's. At Mary's request, private family arrangements will be held.

Sportage bigger and better for 2017

Lorne Drury Metroland Media Now entering its fourth generation for 2017, the Kia Sportage just keeps getting better.

The new model is roomier, loaded with features and classy looking allround.

Not something one would have said about the original Sportage.

The Kia brand and the Sportage in particular have travelled a long way in a short period of time, thanks in part to design chief Peter Schreyer and his team.

As I have said before, Kias are long past the stage when they were the ‘ugly ducklings’ of the market, selling on price alone.

Credit Schreyer, who came to Kia from Audi in 2006 and is now design chief for both the Kia and Hyundai brands and also president of Kia. Kia was once considered among the second tier of automotive brands, but today they are mentioned in the same breath as the best the world has to offer.

In fact, Kia as a brand has ranked highest in the J. D. Power Initial Quality study for two years running.

Today’s Kia is stylish and contemporary. Of course, styling is so subjective, but to my mind the 2017 Sportage may be the best looking vehicle in its class.

Sales figures show that the changes for 2017 are resonating well with Canadian buyers as deliveries of the Sportage were up nearly 40 percent in the first four months of the calendar year.

But despite all the pluses, the Sportage has to battle it out to even stay in the top 10 of the most competitive segment of the Canadian market.

Small crossover SUVs now account for nearly 20 per cent of the market and the Sportage joins 16 other competitors fighting for market share. continued on W3>>

Ford’s Competitive Edge I squatted down to check the door sticker.

It’s hard not to feel an affinity for Ford’s Edge because, as the maple leaf on the sticker testified, my 2017 Titanium tester had been built just down the road, practically in my neighbourhood, at the Oakville Assembly Plant.

According to that label, this model had rolled off the production line in December, probably one of the last of the nearly 2.5 million or so vehicles built collectively by Canadian manufacturers in 2016.

The Edge has grown in popularity since its 2007 model year launch, to the point where it has become almost ubiquitous on Canadian roads. And a recent global push now has the Edge shipping to over 100 countries.

This five-passenger, mid-size crossover sits squarely in the middle of Ford’s CUV/SUV lineup, between the Escape and larger Flex, Explorer and Expedition models.

The Escape may be the best-seller of the bunch, blending compact crossover appeal with the kind of affordability Canadians crave, especially when compared to bigger budget American spending habits.

But the Edge offers a family-friendly step up to more mid-size accommodation, with 82 mm (3.2”) more rear legroom than the Escape, about a 15 per cent increase in passenger volume, and with 1,111 litres of cargo

ABOVE The Sportage is all new for 2017 and marks the fourth generation of this popular compact crossover. Shown here is a Sportage in top-level SX trim.

TOP RIGHT These 19-inch alloy wheels are standard on the SX trim.

LEFT The Sportage boasts 839 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats and 1,703 litres with the seats folded flat.

Destination ($1,690) not incl.

WEB SITE: www.ford.ca

Ford provides a Canadian-made Edge over the competition << continued from W1 space or 2,078 litres with the second row folded forward, compared to the Escape’s 964 litres/1925 litres combination.

The Edge comes in four trim levels - SE ($31,999), SEL ($33,999), Titanium ($37,999) and Sport ($44,499).

Under the hood, a three-engine selection starts with a standard 245 hp 2.0-litre EcoBoost turbo four-cylinder. A bigger 280 hp 3.5-litre Ti-VCT naturally-aspirated V6 ($500) is an optional offering in SEL and Titanium models, while a 315 hp 2.7-litre EcoBoost turbocharged V6 tops out the power rating in the Sport model.

Power is translated through a six-speed SelectShift automatic, along with front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD), a $2,000 option in SE, SEL and Titanium, standard in Sport.

With that already winning formula, bolstered by a long list of standard or available equipment, the Edge carries over relatively unchanged for 2017, except for four new colours, a new wheel choice, and a cold weather package with front and rear floor liners and a heated steering wheel, an addition that is quickly becoming a de rigueur standard-issue item in this country.

This particular Ford Edge Titanium displayed all of those additions - a Burgundy Velvet shade of metallic tinted clearcoat paint, the cold weather package among other addons, and the new 20-inch polished aluminum wheels that were added to the Titanium trim

this year.

Our tester starts off modestly enough with the standard 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine, a willing twin scroll turbocharged four-banger that does not disappoint, its 245 hp and 275 lb/ft of torque boasting enough moxie to muscle you up to speed quickly and also offering a 1,588 kg (3,500 lb) tow rating.

And while those power numbers were achieved under premium octane testing conditions, I’ve always liked the fact that Ford’s EcoBoost turbos allow for the use of regular fuel.

This engine comes with Auto Stop/Start but only in the base SE FWD configuration. Our Titanium/AWD combination, without that technology, is rated at a marginally thirstier 11.9/8.6L/100km (city/hwy).

When I picked up the vehicle, I noticed the historical average for the previous 1,000 km trip was 11.1L/100km. After filling up and zeroing, I did a little better in mixed driving, earning 10.5L/100km (comb).

Inside, the Edge is roomy and comfortable for five passengers and their luggage, and the fairly inclusive Titanium trim level comes with a long list of dynamic driver assists and amenities, maxxed out here with over $10K worth of additional packages and options.

That brings the take-home price to $52,199 before destination fees ($1,690), a hefty enough price to invite a logical cross-shopping look at the Edge’s premium sibling - the Lincoln MKX two-model lineup with prices ranging from $47,650 - $51,750.

A final additional note - a recent addition to

ABOVE: The 2017 Ford Edge returns to its birthplace, seen here in Titanium

trim and with some new-for-2017 cues - Burgundy Velvet paint and unique 20inch polished wheels - posing in front of Ford’s Oakville headquarters. the Edge lineup - the new SEL Sport Appearance Package - with dark-accented cues and unique wheels bumps up the brand’s fashion statement but, even without major revisions for 2017, the Edge remains a fairly current product.

So, odds are the following 2018 model should also carry over without any major changes, although there are rumours of possible engine

upgrades, maybe a nine-speed transmission.

But, in the meantime, our 2017 Titanium tester is just one flavour of a lineup with a wide range of crossover choices designed to fit most budgets.

And with the latest in driving assist technologies, comforts and amenities, it’s hard to resist noting Ford’s Canadian-made “Edge” over the competition.

You have to be good to survive in this segment and the Sportage is good, particularly in the top-level SX trim that we tested.

There’s also a ‘but’ here, though, and it comes to price— as tested our vehicle maxed out at $39,595 ($41,635 when you throw in freight and other additional charges). This is not an insignificant sum when you’re talking about a compact crossover.

But is it worth the money? That will be up to the buying public to decide, but we say yes particularly when you consider the content that comes in the SX. Of course, there are a variety of other trims and models to choose from, starting with the LX and EX that boast a direct injection 2.4-litre inline four-cylinder engine, making 181 hp and 175 lb/ft of torque.

The SX, meanwhile, has a powerful 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, boasting 237 hp and 260 lb/ft of torque.

Front- or all-wheel-drive is available on all levels except the SX, which is all-wheel drive only. All models come with a six-speed Sportmatic automatic transmission, with paddle shifters on the SX only.

Natural Resources Canada posts fuel efficiency ratings of 10.4/8.0 L/100 km city/hwy for the 2.4L FWD and 11.3/9.5 for AWD. The 2.0L is rated at 11.9/10.2.

For 2017, the Sportage is slightly bigger than the previous generation — 30 mm (1.2 in) on the wheelbase and 41 mm (1.6 in) in body length.

Ride, handling and interior noise levels have been improved, in part because of greater use of highstrength steel, resulting in a 37 per cent increase in torsional rigidity.

The larger outside dimensions also translate into a more spacious interior, providing more head and legroom both front and rear.

Luggage space has increased, now 869 litres behind the second-row seats, up from 739 litres. With the second row folded flat, cargo space enlarges to 1,703 litres. One neat feature in the rear is a versatile dual-level cargo floor.

FIRST RIDE

Rob Beintema Metroland Media

A hipper Honda Rebel 500 All of a sudden, it felt like I was sitting in the basement.

I’d just ridden in to Honda for a bike exchange, swapping a VFR1200X for a new, low-slung Rebel 500.

Which meant that instead of scrambling for toe purchase from the lofty heights of a tall adventure bike, I had been dropped about a half-foot lower, scrunched behind a small peanut tank with an easy reach to the handlebars. But with my ergonomic triangle made worse by a knees-up position courtesy of mid-mounted pegs raised for optimum cruiser cornering, halfway down the highway, my bum was already asleep and I was beginning to cramp up in new and interesting places.

Clearly, this was a case of the right bike for the wrong guy.

So, let’s pretend I’m not an oversized 6-foot-3 aging rider but instead, a member of the Rebel’s target audience - a lithe and trim average-height twenty-something with hipster tendencies and a taste for minimalist, modern styling blended with a bit of bobber tradition.

This new two-choice Rebel lineup features 300 cc or 500 cc models designed in a refreshed, “raw and simple” style that happily replaces the orthodox, original Rebel 250 entry-level models of the past thirty years.

Honda describes the design as a mix of old- and new-school styles, starting with a utilitarian, tubular steel trellis frame, an almost standard bike seating position, an aggressively raked front end, exposed and blacked-out engine and mechanical bits, chubby 16-inch wheels and tires, and a few other retro/renewed odds and ends.

Yeah, the lineup starts with the Rebel 300 ($4,799) but, much as we’d all love to save the 20 kgs and $2,000, the Rebel 500 ($6,699) is a finer fit for intermediate riders, or even for novice riders.

The power levels aren’t all that scary and, frankly, you won’t grow out of the 500 as quickly. And ABS models add only $200 to the price, worth the extra investment in safety.

The Rebel 500 takes its 471 cc parallel-twin engine from Honda’s CBR500R, CBR500F and CBR500X lineup, but the motor has been tweaked and tuned for more bottomend torque grunt.

The engine fires up after the keying of a retro-style side-mounted igni-

Audi enters Formula E The view looking down at all-black cues - darkened handlebars, black headlight and mirrors and a retro round gauge with a negative LCD display set against a blue backlight.

Clutch play is light and the six-speed tranny snicks through the gears easily. And, while I might have been whining about my seating transition earlier, actually, most of the other bikes in Honda’s cruiser class have even lower seats.

My tester was fresh out of the box with only a couple of hundred klicks on the odo but it still managed a 3.9L/100km (comb) fuel economy average, well in keeping with my test run results on the CBR500R, F, and X models that I rode last year. That should translate into a frugal near-300 km range, even with the smallish 11.4-litre tank.

The rider looks down on a simple, compact round gauge with a negative LCD display set against a blue backlight. It’s not an easy read with sunglasses or a tinted visor, but its mini-

malistic darkened style suits the bike perfectly.

The mirrors are black, the handlebars are black and, you guessed it, the die-cast aluminum iconic round headlight is also black, trimmed with a satin-metallic ring, reflecting some of the other sparse highlights on bolts and bits about the bike.

Although Honda put a lot of thought into this design, the Rebel is enough of a blank canvas to allow for further customization with parts, like the rear fender and passenger seat, for example, that can be easily swapped out.

Add a full list of accessories including a windscreen, rear carrier rack and saddlebags and riders will be able to make this affordable and freshly designed “modern classic” their very own.

And hopefully this 2017 Honda Rebel 500 will be the right bike for the right guy or girl.
