Two professionals plus three children equals one unaffordable daycare bill. Liam and Jena Murphy already had their hands full and pocketbooks emptied trying to pay for daycare for their now sixyear-old son Ethan. Then life happened, and twin boys came along. Isaac and Oliver entered the world about two years ago. Once Jena’s maternity leave ended, the family had to make some major life adjustments. Both Liam and Jena had careers - he worked as a nurse and she is employed in an office - but he was, coincidentally, laid off and, when they ran the l See ONTARIO’S, page 16

Rolling back the clock A night at the Stardust Newmarket Drive-In SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com "Dad, is this the only bag of popcorn?" My three-year-old son
Theo was perched in the front seat of our car wolfing down buttered popcorn at the Stardust Newmarket Drive-In in Sharon. It was 8 p.m. We had an
year-old is keen on doing these days. Cartoons can just be summoned by the all-powerful-force of Netflix on demand whenever a child screams loud
hour and a half to kill before we got to watch the critically lampooned Emoji Movie. Waiting for dusk isn’t exactly something a three-
enough. "I think we need four bags of popcorn. One for each of us," Theo said. A trip to the drive-in is like stepping back into
time. A time when there was no Netflix or smartphones or emojis. For the complete story and more photographs, visit yorkregion.com

• OUR VIEW •
ABOUT US
Entrepreneurial skills vital for young people The world young people have grown up into over the past decade or so bears little resemblance to the one the generations immediately preceding it inherited. Rather than graduating from high school or a postsecondary education program and smoothly transitioning into a career that would see them from first-day jitters through to gold watch at retirement, the job market today is marked by fierce competition and seismic changes. Uncertainty, it seems, is the new certainty. And while the employment landscape may never have been quite as straightforward or simple as the second paragraph suggests -perhaps only when viewed through the rose-tinted lenses of nostalgia - the fact remains that charting a career path in today’s job market is an increasingly daunting task. And with many traditional sectors already experiencing disruption from new technologies (bricks-and-mortar retail stores and taxi operations among them) and several others poised for a major shake-up from innovations such as automation (the trucking industry being but one example) navigating a career path will only become more challenging. In fact, nearly 42 per cent of the jobs for which Canadians are currently being paid could be automated using only the technology we have today, according to the Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship. As such, it’s good to see that there are programs such as the new Youth by Design course offered by the York Region District School Board and York University’s Innovation York, out of its new YSpace innovation centre in Markham, that are encouraging high school students to embrace the spirit of entrepreneurship and "follow their passion." The program allows students to research their ideas and learn about subjects such as business leadership, intellectual property and patent law, while earning school credit at the same time. The teens involved in the Youth by Design course are working on some impressive projects to be sure. Markham’s Natalie Shafik, for example, is creating an app to help students access recipes based on the ingredients they have available, while Bur Oak student Yu Mao is making an app to help keep people connected with their friends and family living abroad. These are great examples of young people turning challenges into opportunities and that kind of can-do spirit will serve them regardless of what the future of work holds. The Youth by Design course and other programs like it, such as Summer Company and the resources offered through the York Small Business Enterprise Centre, should be promoted and made readily available to youth. Jobs and. indeed, entire employment sectors may come and go but entrepreneurial skills are irreplaceable.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Power reports don’t boost conservation Power Stream Hydro efforts in producing the periodic Power Stream Power Report, which ranks my hydro usage against a selection of similar residences, in addition to costing money to produce, has other consequences: One, it makes me feel less caring when I have in fact done many things to help address usage. Two, the report apparently ignores lifestyle differences in the neighbour comparison. Three, it makes me wonder how committed the provincial government is to reducing rates that have increased dramatically over the last number of years, this from recent news reports.
When the effort seems to try to make hydro usage my fault, it seems like obfuscation of the real problem of rates. We are seniors, living in a small house, with limited capacity to update and renew everything, but we have made basic accommodations: Almost all the lights in the house are CFLs or LEDs, and attic insulation has been improved. Our older working air conditioner is connected to the Peaksaver system which allows hydro to switch it off. A powered attic fan is installed to reduce heat buildup and improve cooling performance. We need day comfort at 25.5 Celsius and a running furnace fan to distribute cool air. We cook on our schedule and some of our entertainment is home

based with TV, movies, computers, etc. also using power. Dehumidifier, dishwasher and laundry pair also run occasionally. We also have a pool, active for about two months of the year, with timed pump hours for two-thirds of the day and using solar heat. So, to the hydro executives that thought they could shame me and others into further conservation, I say not likely. Your efforts could be much better spent in contracting for much cheaper power imports, say from Quebec, or by better handling infrastructure decisions with your provincial partners, like cancelling half-built facilities or retaining ownership of other parts of the infrastructure.

Talk improved understanding of autism RE: What is autism really, June 15 Many years ago, I had the good fortune to attend a very impressive talk addressed to teachers and service providers that Daniel Share-Strom gave at Kerry’s Place. Part of my work involved the authorization of occupational therapy for children with similar issues to his, and I believe his talk improved my understanding of autism, and thus my practice, which in turn affected some children who were considered to be autistic. I wish everyone could hear this man talk because he is unforgettable. Joyce Morris

Volunteers have been the cornerstone of Newmarket’s Doane House Hospice since 1989, assisting this fully-accredited community hospice with its mission to enhance the quality of life of area residents who are affected by, or caring for an individual with, a life-threatening illness. Doane House Hospice also offers grief and bereavement programs for children and adults. Volunteers are the ‘workforce’ of this vibrant hospice, taking on a variety of nonmedical roles, supporting our clients and families, directly or indirectly, as meets their talents, interests and availabilities. For Trudy Schneider, being a Doane House Hospice Volunteer has been a rewarding and enriching experience for 23 years. “It has been a “life-changing privilege,” she says. “I’ve met so many wonderful people. It’s been an honour to hear their stories, learn about their accomplishments and be a witness to their resilience.” From her perspective, the hospice has “bloomed” since its inception with additional programs for clients, and professional training programs for its Volunteers. Not only has she seen the benefits hospice care brings to clients and family, she’s found it’s brought
purpose, meaning and personal growth in her own life too.” Trudy believes, “I became the person I am now because of my volunteering.” Each volunteer and their story is unique and special. Trudy is one of over 600 individuals volunteering across all 5 York Region hospices, providing essential support to our communities. Doane House Hospice has long-recognized the benefits of community-based hospice services and its philosophy of care for the whole family. Now, in partnership with the new 10-bed residential hospice the continuum of hospice care in York Region will be further enhanced. Volunteers with Doane House Hospice and the Margaret Bahen Hospice for York Region will have additional opportunities to further the positive difference they make as part of an integrated team offering a seamless continuum of palliative and bereavement care support. Recognizing that VOLUNTEERS ARE KEY to the daily operations of the varied hospice programs and services, we are currently recruiting 150+ new volunteers. For more information about how YOU can make a difference as a hospice volunteer, please visit www.doanehospice.org or www.myhospice.ca. Or, meet one of our Volunteers at the Newmarket Main St. Farmers’ Market (August and September.)
Together, we can make a difference and lighten the burden of others. *Joseph Addison 1672-1719

Dial-a-Ride, an on-request transit service for certain routes during specific hours, is offered as part of the full YRT system. Its new changes won’t disrupt service, but are important to note: customers must now call 60 minutes in advance of the trip instead of 30 minutes, small adjustments have been made to
service hours for each diala-ride service, and Routes 10, 40, 41, 52, and 58 will be renamed. The phone number for Dial-a-Ride is posted on YRT bus stops.

Cargo capacity has been increased to 550 litres behind the 40/20/40 rear bench and 1,600 litres with the seats folded. On the road, the GLC handles with aplomb, appearing smooth, quiet and controlled in all but the harshest of situations. The wheelbase is 118 mm longer than the outgoing model and the new GLC has what Mercedes calls Agility Control suspension with steel springs and a variable damping system as standard fare.

With the same underpinnings as the C Class Sedan, the 2017 GLC 300 4Matic has been a success story for Mercedes-Benz Canada. Winner of the Best New Premium Utility Vehicle category in the 2017 Canadian Car of the Year Awards by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) last fall, the GLC has been one of the front-runners in sales among compact luxury SUVs after the first four months of the calendar year, trailing only the Audi Q5. Compact luxury crossovers are a fast-growing area of the market, now with more than a dozen entries, including the Acura RDX, BMW X3 and Lexus NX, which also sit near the top of the sales charts. The GLC came online in 2015 as a replacement for the GLK, with the ‘C’ in the name a reference to its C Class roots. Less edgy and more refined than the outgoing model, the GLC 300 isn’t quite as distinctive as its predecessor, yet it has nice, rounded lines, creating a more aerodynamic, stylish look. In fact, its coefficient of drag is down to 0.31 from 0.34 in the GLK. With a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine under the hood, the GLC has adequate power with 241 hp and 273 lb/ft of torque. It is mated with a nine-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters and features permanent four-wheel-drive, great for the snowy winter months we have in most parts of the country. This drive system splits the torque 45:55 front/ rear. During AJAC testing last year, the GLC 300

was timed at 6.7 seconds for the 0-100 km/h run and 5.1 seconds 0-120. Braking distance from 100 km/h was 41.2 metres. Fuel efficiency and performance have been improved over the GLK in part because of a weight reduction of more than 100 kg. The body itself is 50 kg lighter due to more extensive use of aluminum and high- to ultra-high strength steels. The GLC 300 is geared more to comfort than performance and delivers one of the best rides I have encountered among small and mid-size crossovers. Drivers can choose from among five drive programs in the Drive Select handling control system— Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and individual. Starting at $45,150, our tester was loaded with optional features, taking the as-tested price to $57,450. Most expensive was the $4,900 Premium Package featuring power tailgate, navigation system, panoramic sunroof, illuminated doorsill plates, ambient lighting, rear view camera and DVD drive. The $2,700 Intelligent Drive Package would be on my checklist, adding items such as blind spot assist, lane-keeping and cross-traffic assist, and an advanced cruise control system with emergency braking. The AMG Night Package ($2,100) included several black-finished exterior styling features and 19-inch five-spoke AMG wheels. Stand-alone options such as a trailer hitch ($750), LED high-performance headlamps ($1,100) and aluminum running boards ($750) rounded out the add-ons on our test car. Inside, the GLC 300 is nicely packaged, comfortable and reasonably roomy. The cabin is distinctively Mercedes-Benz with the familiar round HVAC vents that swivel from side to side sitting high on the dash. Wood paneling adds an upscale look to the door panels and a seven-inch infotainment

Ontario’s daycare system needs more than funding l Continued from front
numbers, it didn’t make sense to seek another full-time job. So for now, Liam stays home with the kids and hopes to pick up part-time work in the fall. "When I pictured my life, I pictured working the job I trained for and am passionate about," Liam said, sitting in the family’s living room as Ethan flipped through Pokemon trading cards nearby. "There’s a feeling of being held back in my career just because of daycare. How are we, as two people who have post-secondary education (and) good careers, struggling to make daycare payments? We’re paying into the system, why can’t it turn around and help us? Financially, it’s not even a conversation. We want to work." Finding the perfect fit when it comes to cost, location and programming is challenging for today’s parents. Experts attribute that to a system that fails to deliver. Ontario’s child care model is so far behind, according to Professor Yvonne Bohr of La Marsh Centre for Child and Youth Research at York University. With the mountains of research data showing the importance of providing quality care for children from 0 to 4 years of age, it leaves her wondering why the government waited until this year to take steps toward a universal child care model. "What we have is not in line with what we know," she added. "Those early years are just as important as Kindergarten so daycare should be an extension of the school system, absolutely." The current child-care model isn’t working because it’s not affordable for all families, low wages make it difficult to attract and retain professional child care employees, and the sector lacks regulation. Cognitive and emotional

Alejandra Tejada and her four-year-old son Brayden stand outside the Learning Enrichment Foundation where Brayden attends daycare. learning go hand-in-hand in the early years, meaning stable social interactions with a trusted adult encourage learning and professionally trained staff can help guide and prepare children for the school years. But some children miss out on the nurturing of that early development because there isn’t available, affordable space at licensed daycares. If quality of care isn’t defined or regulated or professional development isn’t offered to staff to keep up with current best practices, children head into school on an uneven playing

field. "There is actual evidence and economic research that shows child care is worth the investment," Bohr said. "Children who are professionally cared for in the early years have better mental health, lower incarceration rates, require less poverty support and contribute more to the economy." In June, Ontario Child Care Minister Indira Naidoo-Harris unveiled a seven pillar plan including 100,000 more licensed child-care spaces, subsidy funds and no parent paying more than
20 per cent of their income on care. The plan would also offer 20,000 more early childhood educators, plus wage increases and professional development opportunities, defining of quality child care, inclusion plan, annual tracking of system performance and public education on available child-care options. But experts say it’s not enough and that the five-year plan could potentially be abolished should the Liberal government not be re-elected next year. The daycare sector is currently facing a recruitment and re-
tention crisis, according to Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario’s Lyndsay Macdonald. The child-care sector has become one that is difficult to afford to remain working in. "Many of these early childhood educators go to work and can’t afford child care for their own children," she added, pointing out that the AECEO’s current campaign is advocating for fair wages. The median pay for Ontario ECEs is $17.20 per hour but 24 per cent are below that at $15 per hour. Those who have managed to obtain employment with a school board are making $26 per hour, get full benefits and a pension, work fewer hours in a day and get summers off. "This disparity makes it difficult to recruit and retain educated child-care workers and when turnover is high, the quality of care decreases," she said. "Learning happens through care and consistent relationships. If there is turnover, there is no consistency." While she applauds the government for releasing a five-year action plan for child care, she says it falls short. More funding is needed to fill the gaps that have grown so large because 100,000 new licensed child-care spaces are moot without trained staff and parents who can afford those spaces. "You know the system is broken when parents are forced to choose between work and staying home to care for their children," she added. "The funding announcements are a step in the right direction but much, much more is needed. Parents, children and the child-care sector deserve better."

Find sandy beaches minutes from home AMANDA PERSICO apersico@yrmg.com When scorching temperatures finally arrive, you don’t have to travel far to dip your toes in the water and park your bum on the sand. Lake Simcoe - a hidden, glistening gem - with its clear waters, endless swimming and sandy beaches, is the perfect getaway from the everyday. And it’s only minutes from home. "It’s a wonderful lake to have," said Bernard Mayer, manager of health protection for York Region Public Health. There are more than a dozen beaches, each offering a different experience, from fishing, sunbathing, picnicking to skinny dipping. Along with sandy shores, many York Region beaches also offer grassy areas to play, picnic tables and playgrounds for children. The beaches are maintained and raked every day to keep the beach "in pristine condition," Mayer added. But Lake Simcoe is just like any other lake, he added, with living fish,

Find Frank for chance to win Magna Hoedown tickets AMANDA PERSICO apersico@yrmg.com The name of the game is Find Frank. Cowboy Frank Stronach is on the loose again and it’s up to York Region residents to find him. And if you corral him, you could win tickets to this year’s ultimate country party in a tent - the Magna Hoedown. But Frank is only on parade throughout York Re-
gion for one day - Aug. 17. Cowboy Frank will be at various locations throughout the day. Based on clues and pictures posted to Facebook and Twitter, Frank finders will have an hour to locate the colossal cardboard cutout. Once spotted, walk up to his handlers and say "Yeehaw! I found Frank". The first two people to arrive at each location will win two Hoedown tickets,
for either Sept. 15 featuring Chad Brownlee or Sept. 16 featuring Tom Cochrane with Red Rider. The first to Find Frank will have the choice between the two dates. If you already have Hoedown tickets, you can still Find Frank to win free Hoedown Swag. New this year: participants can only win once during the Find Frank day. For more information, visit hoedown.ca.
Neighbourhood Network’s Erin Cerenzia snaps a selfie with ’Frank’ to post to their social pages for the Find Frank contest. The first two contestants to show up at a secret location Aug. 17 can win free tickets to the Magna Hoedown, Sept. 15 and 16. Metroland file photo

Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion Transit Project Assessment Process The Project Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, has completed an Environmental Project Report (EPR) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion. Metrolinx intends to proceed with the project in accordance with the EPR. Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is upgrading its commuter rail system into Regional Express Rail. The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) is now home to nearly 7 million people and heading towards 10 million by 2041. To address the urgent transit needs of the GTHA, the Province of Ontario committed to implement Regional Express Rail and make other improvements to the GO system. By 2025, electrified trains will be running every 15 minutes or better, all day and in both directions, within the most heavily travelled sections of the GO network. To support this service increase, Metrolinx is undertaking the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion (BRCE) Project which includes the following: • Provision of a second track between Lansdowne Avenue in the City of Toronto to Allandale Waterfront GO Station in the City of Barrie; • Upgrades to existing GO Stations along the corridor: Rutherford, Maple, King City, Aurora, Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Bradford, Barrie South and Allandale Waterfront; and • A new train layover facility within the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury for overnight storage of trains. 30-day Public Review Period Begins August 9 The environmental effects of this transit project were assessed and an EPR prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings. The EPR for the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion is now available at metrolinx.com/RERBarrie and the following locations for a 30-day public review period starting August 9, 2017 and ending September 7, 2017.

A few notes from the pile at the end of this desk after a three-week sabbatical: What? Wait! What the what .? Summer has yet to really achieve full splendor, yet, suddenly, the OJHL season is bearing down. In fact, the Newmarket Hurricanes are helping ignite the 2017-18 pre-season when they visit the Toronto Jr. Canadiens at Scotiabank Pond on Aug. 17 for the league’s first prep match. The game kicks off a package of five pre-season games for the Hurricanes. The Aurora Tigers, who are spending oodles of money this off-season to turn around a disastrous
JOHN CUDMORE Cuddy Shark 2016-17 campaign, also open camp this week, but won’t count goals for and against until Aug. 23 against the visiting North York Rangers. It all means the regular season is not far away. The Tigers open the 54game regular season against the defending Royal Bank Cup champion Co-
bourg Cougars on Sept. 11 in Cobourg in the front end of a home-and-home series. The teams reunite at the Aurora Community Centre for the Tigers home opener on Sept. 15. Notably, the cat scrap brings together the only OJHL teams to win national titles. In addition to the Cougars triumph in a host role last season, the Tabbies, of course, won RBC titles in 2004 and 2007. The Hurricanes launch their regular season on home ice at the Ray Twinney Complex when the Stouffville Spirit are the visitors. The Hurricanes and Tigers will not meet until Oct. 19 in Newmarket and again eight days later in
Aurora. By the way, both franchises are seeking billet families for the 2017-18 season. For the Hurricanes, contact Kim Anderson at andersonsouth@rogers.com or 289-231-2420 for details. Owner Jim Thomson is the Tigers contact at jim@jimthomsondreams.com.
who won the Ontario title as peewees in 2015, advanced to the final of their 22-team double-knockout tournament in Brampton before bowing at the hands of the Vaughan Vikings. Notably, two Aurora players - Adam Khan and Justin Hicks - are members of the Vikings headed for the Baseball Canada championships starting Aug. 24 in Summerside, PEI. Meanwhile, the program was also well represented at the junior men’s championships in Oshawa, where the Hawks settled for third place among 22 teams, knocking off five of the top 10 ranked teams in the province. A 2-0 loss to the eventual champion Windsor Selects

Hoop, hoop hooray The winning Team Ontario entry had an unmistakeable Aurora flavour in capturing the gold medal for the boys under-15 division at the Canada Basketball national championships in Regina in late July. Johnathan Avgousti scored 15 points as Ontario defeated Quebec 88-71 in the final. The six-foot, fourinch shooting guard was named tournament MVP. Point guard Ryan Nembhard knocked down four points.
