SOCIAL ISSUES

‘I fear when they will find my body’, woman says Community campaign raising money to get Newmarket homeless woman an apartment BY LISA QUEEN

lqueen@yrmg.com

ith fall just around the corner, the fear that creeps around the edges of Janet’s mind begins to once again consume her thoughts.

Will this be the winter she freezes to death in her car? The prospect leaves the York Region homeless woman sobbing as she talks about the 15-plus years she has existed in her vehicle. “Winters are horrendous,” said Janet, an articulate, injured former army reservist, who is resilient, but bears the emotional scars of a hard life.

Finally, a community initiative offers Janet hope of getting off the streets. A homeless existence hasn’t always been her way of life. While she had a difficult childhood and a tumultuous relationship with her mother, at one point she had a mortgage and a relationship. When the relationship ended, Janet lived See page A9.

GROWTH

East Gwillimbury growth, jobs expected to surpass Newmarket by 2041: planner BY CHRIS SIMON

csimon@yrmg.com

t will be a bit of a balancing act, but northern York Region’s population should grow substantially in the coming decades. That’s the message from York Region chief planner Valerie Shuttleworth, who is projecting a large increase in population and employment numbers by 2041. She made a deputation on the anticipated growth to Newmarket council members last week. According to Shuttleworth, the region’s population is expected to jump from 1.14 mil-

WHAT’S ON JOB OPPORTUNITY

ROAD CLOSURES

Retirement residence nears approval A new retirement home may be coming to Leslie Street soon. Newmarket council granted site plan approval for a four-storey, 60-unit residential retirement building, in principle, during a meeting last week. The building would be located at 17210 Leslie, at the southwest corner of Leslie and Lemar Road. However, the applicant must address outstanding concerns over retaining walls, fencing, landscaping and garbage storage before the project can proceed. If constructed as planned, the building will include a rooftop garden and 23-space parking lot. — Chris Simon

Recreation vehicle phone survey planned Do you have a beef with Newmarket’s current bylaw pertaining to recreational vehicle use? If so, you may get an opportunity to provide feedback on the rules soon. The town and an independent consulting firm, Forum Research, want residents to participate in a telephone survey regarding Newmarket’s recreational vehicle zoning bylaw study. Randomly selected households will be asked to participate in a five-minute telephone survey. It will give residents the opportunity to express opinions on existing rules for parking recreational vehicles in residential areas. The rules allow a resident to park one recreational vehicle, which is less than seven metres long, in their driveway for a maximum of 72 hours in any one calendar month. Recreational vehicles can also be stored inside a garage, carport or in the side yard, for any length of time, all year long. Residents who are not part of the telephone survey can also provide their feedback by completing a brief survey at newmarket.ca.

the next month. Crews will install a traffic island at the main entrance of the Newmarket Seniors’ Meeting Place, 474 Davis, until Sept. 30. To accommodate the work, there will be changes to vehicle and pedestrian access to the parking lot, building and nearby Tom Taylor Trail. The sidewalk on the south side of Davis will remain closed during the construction. Pedestrians will need to cross Davis at the signalized intersection to access the property, and the main entrance and canopy will be moved from the north side of the building to the west entrance. Passenger pick-up and drop-off by the community bus will take place at the west entry. Pedestrians and cyclists can access the trail on the north side of Davis through the Tannery Mall parking lot. Vehicle access to the meeting place will be restricted to one inbound and one outbound lane. Outbound motorists will be able to turn left or right, or proceed through the signalized intersection. Some overnight work will also take place at the Yonge and George streets and Barbara Road intersections, as left-turn traffic sensors are installed. The sensors will be used to prioritize the advanced green arrow for motorists, to help drivers make left turns or U-turns. The work should end Aug. 21. Rapidway paving will also continue this week, between Yonge and Longford Drive, and at Main Street. Crews are expected to be on-site from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and some weekend work may be required. Intersections at George, Barbara, Longford and Main will be closed intermittently to north-south traffic. During closure, motorists will be unable to make left turns and will need to proceed to the next intersection or temporary cut-through lane and make a U-turn to get to their destination. Northbound and southbound motorists will have to turn right onto Davis, proceed to the next intersection or cut-through lane, make a U-turn and then continue to their destination. And pedestrians will not be able to use north-south crosswalks at closed intersections. For more information on the project, visit vivanext.com.

A look at some of the best parks across York Region

or some parents, the most important part of a playground lies beneath their child’s feet. Richmond Hill resident Erin Weinroth enjoys bringing her children to Oak Ridges’ Russell Tilt Park, in part, because it has a soft play surface rather than wood chips or pavement. “If they fall, they are not going to get as hurt,” she says. Woodbridge’s Sonoma Heights Park appeals to Stephanie Mora. “It has soft surfaces, so I don’t have to clean a child full of sand,” she says of the park at 100 Sunset Ridge. Netaly Brand dislikes the ground at her neighbourhood playground in Thornhill. “The ground is dirty, no one does upkeep,” she says. Brand will not allow her 11-month-old son to crawl around at the York Hill District Park (in the Bathurst Street and Clark Avenue area) because it is “mucky”, filled with leaves and rocks, she says. But she does allow her son to crawl in newer playgrounds made of soft materials, such as recycled tires. Her family often enjoys Saturday afternoon trips to the North Thornhill Community Centre’s park. “The ground is soft for falls, the splash pad is large and has places for crawlers with smaller sprouts of water and bigger areas for bigger kids,” she says. Parks that cater to multiple ages are often a hit with parents. Brand finds it easier to entertain and look after her sons, age three and 11 months, at the North Thornhill Community STAFF PHOTO/STEVE SOMERVILLE Centre’s park, rather than at York Hill District Daniel Hakimi cools off at the recently opened Rouge Crest Park in Richmond Hill.

The Snakes and Ladders Park (north of 19th Avenue and west of Bayview Avenue in Richmond Hill) will include a life-size and tabletop Snake & Ladders game board. Richmond Hill’s Rouge Crest Park, which opens Aug. 4, has a nature theme. The park has a spiral hill, which leads visitors up one path and down the other, moving them through drifts of native wildflowers. The park is at 147 Rothbury Rd., which is west of Yonge Street and south of Gamble Road. In Newmarket, home to 52 playgrounds and 46 kilometres of trails, themed parks are also taking shape. Chris Kalimootoo, director of public works in Newmarket, has seen a change in today’s parks. “They are different, exciting, more creative versus 10 or 20 years ago,” Kalimootoo says.

GROWTH

‘I’m always a little skeptical when we talk numbers connected to a date. We were expected to grow in the ’90s. We’re 20 years later and it’s just starting.’ 4

Personal injury law

29,402 injuries that did not require admission to a hospital and could be dealt with in the emergency room or by a family doctor.

Darcy Darcy is a lawyer with Boland Howe LLP, Trial Lawyers for the Injured, and can be reached at 905.841.5717 www.bolandhowe.com Canadian Lawyer Magazine has recognized BolandHowe as one of the Top 10 Personal Injury law firms in Canada.

hat does that number represent to you? Allow me to put it into perspective. It is about as many people as the entire complement of the Canadian Reserve Force. It is about as many people as the population of Bradford. It is approximately the total number of days the average Canadian lives. It is also the estimated number of Ontarians, who, one year after a car accident, will still be in pain. The Ministry of Transportation’s most recent published statistics show that in 2012, there were 61,001 people injured in car accidents. More than 96 percent. 58,805 of them suffered

This year, a research team commissioned by the Ministry of Finance published research papers that reviewed the findings of what the team considered to be the most reliable clinical studies relating to these 58,805 Ontarians injured in automobile collisions with injuries not requiring admission to hospital. According to one of their research papers, published in Journal of Manipulative and Psychological Therapeutics, Volume 32, Number 2S, “the preponderance of evidence indicates that, in adults, recovery of wh iplash-associated disorders is prolonged, with approximately half of those affected reporting neck pain symptoms one year after the accident. Perhaps, you may think that there must be something unique about the 50 percent who don’t get better in the first six months or who never get better. The research team reviewed all the red flags, like pre-existing conditions, age, percentage of body in pain, baseline neck pain and headache intensity and disability. Researchers concluded they could not reasonably predict who would recover and who

would not. So, you and I are as likely to recover after one year as we are to not recover after one year. And we have the same odds of being one of the unfortunate 1,311 to 1,836 Ontarians who suffer prolonged severe symptoms. With 58,805 Ontarians suffering from such injuries each year, and half not recovering after one year, you would assume that your auto policy would afford ample funding for treatment to cope, wouldn’t you? Formerly, motorists had coverage for $100,000 of treatment if they needed it. Then, in 2010, the government reduced it to $3,500 for those who have injuries like we have been discussing. Now the government is contemplating reducing it even further, and limiting the duration of treatment to just six months. On behalf of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association, I attended the Financial Services Commission August 17 to implore the Ministry of Finance and the Financial Services Commission to afford greater care to Ontarians whose soft-tissue injuries persist beyond six months. There should be more funding available through Ontarian’s automobile policies. Let us hope they listen to reason 29,402 Ontarians are too many to ignore.

Newmarket to grow at 2% per year From Front Page

it’s nothing the region hasn’t seen already,” she said. “In fact, in the later years, the pace of growth tapers off a little bit. I don’t see the forecasts as unrealistic. We actually have capacity to accommodate much more growth. We’ve invested an awful lot of money in infrastructure to support growth along our centres and corridors… so we can accommodate more residents in higher-density areas.” By 2041, the population is projected to grow from the current 56,200 to 81,000 in Aurora, 85,700 to 114,900 in Newmarket and 24,300 to 108,700 in East Gwillimbury. The employment forecast shows Aurora will have 38,000 jobs in 2041, up from 27,000 in 2014. Newmarket will host 56,600 jobs, while EG will grow to 41,900, up from 42,700 and 9,500, respectively. “The province dictates the numbers,” East Gwillimbury Mayor Virginia Hackson said. “I’m always a little skeptical when we talk numbers connected to a date. We were expected to grow in the ’90s. We’re 20 years later and it’s just starting.” The town’s large land mass means it will remain 70 per cent agriculture and green space, she said. “(Growth) is a mixed bag,” she said. “I moved here for a rural community and I’m not naive to believe it’s not going to change. Our world is changing and we’re going to be a part of it. Managed properly, I believe we’re going to have one of the most unique communities in the GTA.” East Gwillimbury should also meet employment targets because the municipality is attractive to businesses, Hackson said, noting it offers livable communities, opportunity for companies to grow, and direct access to Hwy. 404. All figures are based on a scenario with no

urban expansion and could be altered based on the intensification model selected by regional council. Several factors helped decide the forecast, including land supplies, changing demographics and economics, municipal policies, infrastructure capacity and provincial growth plan requirements, which set minimum intensification, employment and population targets. Region staff members are also trying to ensure there’s a good mix of accommodation and employment opportunities, Shuttleworth said. “The region is charged with distributing those forecasts to each of the nine (York) municipalities,” she said. “We’re in the consultation an analysis stage. We do forecast work on an ongoing basis and we revisit every five years. We plan very carefully for the future. “How we accommodate that growth and invest our dollars is going to affect how accepting residents are of that growth,” she continued. “It all fits together; we don’t just let growth happen. We take deliberate steps to look way into the future to make sure the decisions we make now pay off for existing and future residents.” Other politicians support the notion the projected growth is manageable. “Newmarket’s growth projections represent an approximate growth rate of 2% per year — the lowest projected growth rate in the region,” Newmarket Regional Councillor John Taylor said in an email. “This rate of growth is both realistic and manageable. High growth rates can be difficult to manage and low growth rates can negatively affect the local economy. Current and future growth projections must balance the requirements to grow, with appropriate infrastructure spending and a strong local economy.”

Our Water: Clean and Safe How is our water made clean and safe to drink? It starts with protection at the source. Water protection requires constant care and monitoring. York Region works with governments, businesses, farms and residents to make sure our groundwater is protected. We also make sure the used water going down our drains and toilets is thoroughly treated before it safely re-enters the environment. As Lake Ontario, Lake Simcoe, and groundwater provide drinking water to York Region residents, it is vital that this water continue to be protected. Our drinking water undergoes many treatment processes to make it safe. At the Georgina Water Treatment Plant,

contaminants are removed as lake water passes through membranes and ultra-violet light. Chlorine is added to protect our water as it moves through the distribution pipes before it arrives at your taps. The monitoring of water quality never stops. Last year, York Region performed 36,817 drinking water quality tests. These tests confirm the 285 million litres of water delivered each day to an estimated 1.1 million residents is clean and safe. The York Region water system is massive, integrated and fascinating. Yet, it is rarely seen. We’ve taken videos that will open the door to our underground world. We think you’ll be amazed.

Regional chairperson debate re-ignites ISSUE: Councillor ready to put through motion to have regional chairperson elected

Bernie O’Neill

his isn’t the first time York Region Media Group has dedicated this space to discuss and debate the powerful regional chairperson’s role in our communities. And it certainly won’t be the last. It’s a crucially important issue that needs debate, public input and, most of all, absolute change. Since 2012, provincial politicians have attempted to get various bills through Queen’s Park to make Ontario’s regional chairpersons elected by the general public, not by the respective councils of each region. But each attempt, unfortunately, was swept under the rug of incessant political red tape and disruption. In York, the region’s chairperson and CEO oversees a budget of about $3 billion that affects all nine of York’s localtier municipalities. That’s a huge responsibility and one that should be earned fairly through our privileged democratic voting process. York’s debt is climbing; projected to near the $4-billion mark within the next several years. That’s no small potatoes and it needs to be tackled, urgently, by a person who has earned the confidence and nod of its citizens via an elected ballot. Newmarket-Aurora MPP Chris Ballard is the latest politician to try to change the status quo by the time the next election rolls around in 2018. Admittedly, it would be much easier if York Region council came to the table and passed a motion to change the council appointment to an elected position. “We don’t need a motion from the region, but … it would expedite the change, absolutely,” Ballard said last week. Markham Councillor Joe Li might just be the man to get the job done with his announcement last week that he will introduce this important game-changing motion within the next few months, with Stouffville Mayor Justin Altmann agreeing to second the motion, so it doesn’t die on the table. If regional council passes this motion once it reconvenes for fall, Queen’s Park wouldn’t need to interfere and a regional chairperson’s race would be underway in time for the next municipal election. That’s what needs to happen. It’s high time this powerful, influential position was won fair and square by the will of its citizens and business owners. Perhaps 30 years ago it was suitable for this job to be appointed by elected representatives when the region’s population was hovering at 500,000, but now that we have swelled to more than one million and counting, we need to follow Durham (2014) and Halton (2006) regions’ leads and make this an elected role. Li said he is frustrated with backroom wheeling and dealing in advance of council’s selection of York Region’s chairperson. As are we. He promises to fight for change. “I’m working on that. When I was campaigning for re-election (last year), a lot of people asked me why the regional chair is not elected, so I made a pledge, if re-elected, I will make sure it’s going to happen,” Li said. Chairperson Wayne Emmerson said he opposes making the position elected, because, he says, many residents do not understand the chairperson’s role and what it means to represent the interests of the region on myriad fronts. Maybe it’s time, then, to spell out that role to citizens and let them know this person is charged with being the region’s CEO, presiding over all council meetings, representing the region at official functions, serving as a board member for the police service, sitting on various boards outside the regional organization and promoting and advancing its position with other levels of government and external groups. Regional Councillor John Taylor says electing the chairperson may give the more highly populated south communities more pull, but it’s these communities’ mayors who, largely, appointed Emmerson, merely on strength of their numbers. So, wouldn’t we rather citizens have that say? We’ll be closely watching how council handles this issue come the fall.

BOTTOM LINE: Citizens, not politicians, should make this crucial decision.

World Series political race

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Election campaign deceitful, manipulative

Town staff failures due to lack of political skill

I honestly don’t know how any self-respecting Conservatives look themselves in the mirror anymore, tethered as they are to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and now this atrocious, deceitful and manipulative election campaign that masquerades as democracy in action in 2015 Canada. Many of the connecting threads that maintained our continued expansion as an emancipating society have been quietly and purposefully unraveled behind closed doors by Harper and his privileged inner circle. What hand did your MP have in that? Do some reading: the information is out there. Harper demonstrates again and again that he feels nothing but contempt for most Canadians and their right to vote. Who’s buying this crap? The society we build today gets handed off to our children and their children. You and I will be gone. Do you believe the actions and policies undertaken by this Conservative government over the past 10 years have directly contributed in a positive, expansive manner to a decidedly improved life for all Canadians and the world we live in?

Re: Dog days of summer might be affecting town staff, opinion by Chris Simon, Aug. 13: bit.ly/1PjM1gf Simon was correct to point out a couple of staff failures in his opinion, but failed to cite a couple more egregious failures that have taken place that have cost the Town of Newmarket hundreds of thousands of dollars, namely the $22.3 million on the town books that was left sitting in cash for six months rather than re-invested into a GIC and the fact the town came up $4 million short on development charges in 2014. Also, while it is correct to direct his criticism at town staff, a more critical eye should be placed on the elected town councillors, Mayor Van Bynen and Regional Councillor John Taylor, whose jobs are to oversee these issues and deal with them effectively. These failures have nothing to do with the hazy days of summer, but more with a lack of skill and leadership on Newmarket council.

NDP best choice for middle-class Canadians Re: Child ‘benefit’ has me seeing red, opinion by Tracy Kibble, July 23: bit.ly/1IjePAy I understand Kibble’s frustration with the blank cheque written by the Tories to young families, some of whom are wealthy and do not need it. Meanwhile, the challenges of those in other age groups are ignored. However, I feel that the NDP is the best choice as opposed to the Liberals. Firstly, they will target parents who really need the help by creating one million childcare spaces at just $15 a day. They will also help seniors and the people who care for them by raising the guaranteed income supplement, by working with the provinces to expand long-term and home care services and by bringing Old Age Security eligibility back down to 65. The proposed $15 federal minimum wage the NDP would implement would largely help young people who are just getting started with their careers. So there it is; the federal New Democrats have all Kibble’s concerns in mind in their platform.

paying for the “entitled to”? Incidentally, not all senior citizens receive CPP; it is only paid to those who made contributions to the plan. Stating that seniors have had a lifetime to save for retirement is another broad brushed statement totally without merit to the argument.

Not all seniors receive CPP Re: Re-direct tuition ire to province, not feds, letter to the editor by Lee Eustace and Child ‘benefit’ has me seeing red, opinion by Tracy Kibble, July 23: bit. ly/1IjePAy While I am not seeing red, I do take exception to some of the opinions expressed in Eustace’s response letter. Whatever happened to people taking responsibility and ownership for their life choices? Offering money to make it more financially feasible to have children because our current reproductive rate is not sufficient to sustain the population at current levels is absolutely ridiculous. If someone wants to have a family, she will: it will involve making sacrifices and cutting back, but if you’re going to be a parent, you might as well get used to sacrificing — emotionally, physically and financially — that’s part and parcel of having a family. However, the rewards are far greater than the sacrifices. University grants and loans are made in hopes of those receiving these benefits will become contributing members of society. Offering money to people for them to have children will only encourage the “I’m entitled to” segment of society to have children. Are we not overburdened enough already

On Motion to make regional chairperson elected coming this fall: bit.ly/1No1IEG Regional governments and York Region, in particular, absorb over 75% of our tax dollars, and does all it can, to keep taxpayers, in the dark. This is the most UNDEMOCRATIC form of governance. And York Region stands alone, carrying billons of debt and pushing ahead with unfunded massive projects, knowing full well, the taxpayer will be forced to pay that debt. Mayors DO NOT campaign on their regional roles as they join this “Old Boy Club”. Tough luck to York Region chairperson Wayne Emmerson if he has to pony up some cash to earn his paycheck. Some of us do understand his role. AND WE DON’T like it. We need accountablity and transparency, both of which are sadly lacking in York Region. Eric Wayne Emerson’s comment, “Many residents do not understand the chairperson’s role”, demonstrates precisely why the chairperson should be elected. The current lack of understanding is not because residents are stupid. It is because appointed chairpersons avoid explaining their role or justifying their actions to the general public. It’s more convenient for them to operate in secret, so that the public will not question their decisions and actions. Dave

baseball. If not, let me fill you in. Both will play out over the next couple of months with the final contest in late October. Both feature teams that sport blue in their team colours and a maple leaf in their logo, that would desperately like to clinch it in the final, holding up the big trophy as the confetti rains down from above. Both have somewhat revamped lineups, although several core players are still there, with the same skipper they’ve had for a while. (Do you ever notice John Gibbons is always eating something? It’s as if the game is keeping him away from his dinner. Meanwhile, Stephen Harper is not a bad looking fellow, he just looks like a guy who would be more comfortable wearing a tie but his advisers have hidden them.) In the case of the Jays, it’s pretty clear they are Canada’s team, bandwagon jumpers and all. The federal Conservatives would love to think of themselves as Canada’s team, but they have so many critics these days, as well as serious competition for our hearts from the NDP (picture them in orange and black) or Liberals (wearing red), it promises to be a close race right to the bitter end. Like baseball, every once in a while one of the political parties is forced to deal with a team member over some dumb posting on his Twitter. Likewise, sometimes veterans get the start over newcomers trying to break into the lineup. Sometimes a candidate is thrown a knuckleball of a question and swings wildly, making a fool of him or herself. Some generate interest because of their choice of hairstyles or who it is they hang out with on their off time and not by their performance in the batter’s box (aka media scrum). Once the baseball season is said and done, I’m sure we will have been all quite well entertained, and maybe had our hearts broken. But I’m not sure the Jays becoming champs would have the same impact as what direction we go with our federal government. Alas, if only the federal parties could generate the same kind of interest in their battle for ballots that the Jays have been able to generate with their ballfield battle for wins. Perhaps they can pick up a few tips from baseball to get the fans pumped up: Each party could have a mascot: Conservative Carl, Liberal Larry, NDP Pete. They’d race around the field between debates and maybe trip each other. Thomas Mulcair Bobblehead Day. Free Liberal batting helmet to the first 20,000 voters. Conservative towel day (their haters would love for it to be a simple white “I surrender” style of towel but I doubt they are giving up that easily). When a politician steps up to the microphone, his party could flash his stats from when he was on student council at university, who his favourite politician was growing up, votes batted in. We could all get to know the players a little better. Although that’s been the knock on politics these days, that the more we know the players, the less we seem to like them, and the more the party they play for is left open to criticism. So, parties appoint candidates rather than allow them to be chosen, and when it comes to talking to voters, candidates aren’t all that candid. Which is why people, on the day before voting day, are searching around for the name of the candidate in their riding, even though they’ve learned the Jays starting lineup by heart. Politics is one of those games where not everyone loves a winner. — Bernie O’Neill is editor of the Markham Economist & Sun

Campaign 25X30 hopes to help get Janet out of her car From Front Page

in a motel room for a few months before eventually calling her car home. At one point, she lost many of her possessions, including a beloved cat and its kittens, in a fire suspected to be arson. Now, spending her nights parked in plazas, even a vest, coat, sleeping bag, blankets and thermal socks and boots haven’t prevented her from getting frostbite several times on cold winter nights. Janet, who suffers from several health concerns and receives benefits under the Ontario Disability Support Program, takes sponge baths in washrooms of doughnut shops. On the region’s waiting list for subsidized housing for several years, she treats herself occasionally to a motel room so she can sleep in a bed and bathe. Doctors told her more than a decade ago she wouldn’t survive another winter in her car. Janet has beaten the odds year after year, but as she looks forward to her 58th birthday next month, she wonders how long she can last. “Winters I get very depressed as I have always hated the cold, but I was told 14 years ago I would not survive another winter existing like I am,” she said. “So, I fear when they will find my body.” At long last, there may be hope for Janet to get an apartment. A dozen residents who have gotten to know her over the past decade at community dinners have

come together to form a campaign called 25X30. The idea, first envisioned last November, would see 30 people each chip in $25 a month to contribute to Janet’s rent. So far, about a dozen people are donating various amounts, according to Newmarket resident Jacques Soucie, who, along with fellow volunteer Barb Martin, is spearheading the campaign. “A couple of people, having heard her story and having known her, felt this was an area where we could make a difference in the life of one person,” he said. “It’s going to help one person’s life dramatically. So, it is just that one person, but it is that one person’s life. If it was my life or your life, would you think that’s important? Absolutely.” Beginning this week, the campaign seeks donations from the public through a Tilt crowd-funding account called Shelter from the Storm. After word came last week that the Canadian Mental Health Association has agreed to help subsidize Janet’s rent, the campaign will now contribute toward housing and living expenses, with anything left over being used for other homeless people, Soucie said. The organizers and Janet will sign a letter of understanding. While Soucie praised Canada for having government programs that help the homeless, he pointed out Janet is just one of thousands of York residents living in poverty or

homelessness. “Essentially, here is an individual who has been living in her car for quite a number of years and the government-sourced or government-funded programs have not, to this point in time, been able to help her,” he said. “I think it’s shameful this kind of thing happens as often as it does.” Homelessness in York is often a hidden problem, Elizabeth Brims, the region’s program manager of community partnerships, said.

The region has one of the lowest rental vacancy rates in Ontario. “The key around homelessness is it’s not just a big city problem. We have a lot of invisible homeless. Because we don’t have one major urban centre and have nine municipalities, our homeless population is spread right across that whole area,” she said. “It’s not like Toronto, where you can go downtown and say, ‘Ahh, there it is.’ I think a lot of people don’t realize that a lot of people are sleeping on couches in a friend’s basement, for example. That would be considered homeless, if you don’t have a home and you’re couch surfing.” The region has several programs to help people who are homeless and prevent others from becoming homeless, Brims said. York Region has 10,000 households on its waiting list for 7,000

subsidized housing units, with the average wait being 10 years, Heather Tillock, manager of community partnerships and support services, said. Meanwhile, the region has one of the lowest rental vacancy rates in Ontario at 1.5 per cent, she said. The average rent for a bachelor apartment is $815 a month, compared to $1,036 for a one-bedroom, $1,194 for a two-bedroom and $1,357 for a three-bedroom. While six of the region’s municipalities allow legal basement apartments, which increases the rental housing stock, they are not permitted in Vaughan, King Township and Richmond Hill. The region its increasing the affordable housing supply, Tillock said. She pointed to the recently completed projects of Mapleglen Residences in Maple offering 84 seniors’ apartments, Kingsview Court in King City with 66 seniors’ apartments and another 39 recently added, Mackenzie Green in Richmond Hill with 140 apartments and Lakeside Residence in Georgina offering 97 apartments for seniors, individuals and small families. Meanwhile, under development now are the Richmond Hill Housing and Community Hub, with 202 oneand two-bedroom apartments and 14 emergency and 11 transitional beds for youths, and Belinda’s Place for homeless women in Newmarket, with nine transitional apartments and 28 emergency beds. Governments alone can’t solve the challenge of providing an ade-

quate number of affordable housing options, Brims said. Newmarket Regional Councillor John Taylor, who is chairperson of the region’s community and health services committee, said it is upsetting Janet has been homeless for so long. “It is truly unfortunate that someone in our community has found themselves in such a difficult circumstance. I am confident that the community and our agencies will find a solution,” he said. “Having said that, we must come to the realization that we have significant challenges related to housing and homelessness in York Region. These challenges will only be met through a combination of all levels of government working together toward more innovative solutions.” As the federal election campaign plays out this fall, Taylor is calling on candidates to provide their positions on the need for a national housing strategy. While Janet is anxious about the prospect of living in an apartment because it has been a long time since she has performed even routine tasks such as buying groceries and cooking, she dreams of the home she will be able to create. A real bed. A tub for bubble baths. A pet cat. Maybe a relationship one day. “Getting a place to live would be everything. I could get control of my life, not live in fear and be able to do what others do and make friends and do all the normal things,” she said.

The Era, Thursday, August 20, 2015

It’s about respect for educational workers, not wages, CUPE president says From Front Page

said, adding the ministry is dragging its heels on providing bargaining dates. A central bargaining committee is negotiating provincially for education workers with 101 Catholic and public union locals across Ontario. A conciliator is now involved in the bargaining process, with conciliation being the final step before the union enters a legal strike position, the union said. But with just a couple of weeks before school starts, “we’re not even close to negotiating to getting

a contract,” Di Nardo said. Di Nardo, who said workers have been without a contract since Aug. 31, 2014, said she is not able to discuss the issues education workers are negotiating. “There are many issues. A lot of people think it’s about the wages. It’s not about the wages. It’s about treating educational workers, school support workers, clerical, in a way that they are to be respected,” she said. “There are a lot of issues on the table and I really can’t get into that right now, but it’s not about the wages.” In the event of a strike, it could

be difficult for schools to remain open without education workers, Di Nardo said. However, she hopes conciliation will lead to a settlement and avoid a strike. “We want to be there in September to provide students with the support they need for a successful school year, but we can’t do it without co-operation from the government and school boards,” she said in a union statement. Meanwhile, as of Monday, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association is in a legal strike position. After bargaining last week did

not result in a deal, the union announced this week that teachers at a school in Moosonee in Northern Ontario will be the first to begin work-to-rule job action, beginning Thursday. Other schools are expected to follow in the coming weeks if a deal is not reached, it added. “We remain hopeful, but it’s important that parents know there are bigger things at stake in these negotiations,” union president Ann Hawkins said in a media release. “We all want to avoid a disruption to the school year, but not at any cost.” Members of the Elementary

Teachers’ Federation of Ontario re-elected Sam Hammond as president for a fourth term at the union’s annual general meeting Monday. He told 800 delegates the province and school boards are “in for the fight of their lives” if they don’t engage in “serious, respectful bargaining.” However, Premier Kathleen Wynne told reporters she is more optimistic now about reaching settlements with teachers than she has been in weeks and indicated keeping kids in class is the government’s top priority moving into the fall.

Goalie gives back

Nicole Kesteris is serving as goalie development coach for the Aurora Panthers this season, having played in the program in her youth.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

After a stellar university career, Aurora’s Nicole Kesteris returns to her hometown Panthers By Kyle Enright

hen Nicole Kesteris shut the door on her career with the University of Toronto varsity women’s hockey team last March, she was already making plans to open a new one, back home where her hockey playing days began. Kesteris, a Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) all-star goaltender, got her first taste of club hockey playing for her hometown Aurora Panthers and is thrilled to be rejoining her “second family” in time for hockey next season. “There’s no place I’d rather be than Aurora because that’s obviously where it all began,” she said in an interview. The 23-year-old, who graduated U of T with a major in human geography and a double minor in sociology and environmental geography, first strapped the pads on for the Panthers in 2000 when she was just a Grade 3 student at eight and, aside from one season with the Willowdale Redwings in 200304, she played for them every year until 2010. Now, five years later, she’ll be returning as the goalie develop-

ment coach for the Panthers to “provide something for these girls that they’ve never had before”. Kesteris plans to run unique clinics on the weekends for the young goalies, which will include semi-private sessions, as well as on-ice video instruction sessions through the use of an iPad. “They go through the drill and maybe their glove is too high or they’re sitting too far back, so they come out of the drill and I can show them on the iPad,” she said. “I didn’t get that until my fourth or fifth year of university and it makes a huge difference.” For Kesteris, it’s always been about the home ice advantage and staying close to family was one of the main reasons she chose U of T over schools south of the border. “I’m more of a homebody,” she said at downtown coffee shop near U of T’s campus. “I like being close to my parents. “If I went to Brown or Dartmouth, they wouldn’t have the opportunity to watch me play on the weekends. This way, staying in Toronto, they could come down each weekend and they could make my road games, which was

really important.” Kesteris entered the U of T program out of Bishop Strachan School, a girls’ boarding school in downtown Toronto. She, of course, played hockey at BSS and, in Grade 7, was challenging students in grades 11 and 12 for ice time turning heads in the process. “It was pretty frightening,” Kesteris said when asked what it was like playing against older students. “But the fact that the games were so close flicked the switch that, ‘Oh, maybe I have some potential,’

‘There’s no place I’d rather be than Aurora because that’s obviously where it all began.’ confidence and finished her rookie season with and 8-8 record, playing more than 1,000 minutes, recording two shutouts, a .933 save percentage, and was named to the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) and CIS all-rookie teams. “Coming into university, you expect to be a backup, or the third string, and when the opportunity presents itself, you have to know your stuff. I was lucky enough to have that opportunity take over,” she said. Kesteris lifted the Varsity Blues to new heights each season. And, aside from an injury-riddled sophSee page B2.

and from there my parents kept pushing me.” In 2010, Kesteris entered what would be her rookie season for the Varsity Blues as the third goaltender, likely headed for a year on the bench to sit back and observe the game. This was something her mother, Karen, had initially prepared her for. “We kind of said, ‘OK, go in and get to know the girls, get to know the coach, everything’s going to be good. It’s an introductory year,” Karen said over the phone. That would all change quickly. Kesteris rose to the top of the depth chart and, soon, she was the Varsity Blues’ starting goaltender, playing 18 regular season games her first year. “It was an awful lot of pressure to put on someone,” her mother added. “It’s overwhelming at times.” Kesteris turned pressure into

Teenager charged after laser pointed at York police helicopter By Jeremy Grimaldi

jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

Last year, York Regional Police Const. Greg Lubianetzky had his retina burned by a laser while in his police helicopter en route to a crime scene. Over the past decade about 35 people have been charged with pointing lasers at York police’s helicopter. And despite all the public safety announcements about just how dangerous pointing lasers at aircraft can be for pilots, passengers and the public – especially considering even temporary blindness can cause a crash – it’s happened once again. During the latest incident, a man in Vaughan can be seen via infrared cameras pointing a gun with a laser attached at the helicopter. A single laser beam can do cause damage in a multitude of way. It can damage eyes, as it did for Lubianetzky and his pilot when they both stared directly at a laser being pointed at their helicopter. Emergency situations can also be caused when a single beam hits glass and refracts,

Greg Lubianetzky’s eye was damaged by a laser pointed at the force’s helicopter last year. multiplying into dark helicopter cockpits and blinding the pilot and passenger. “Either way, that’s bad news for the crew and bad news for the people below us,” said Const. Lubianetzky, who has been working with York police’s Air2 at Buttonville Airport for 12 years. “After all, we’re usually patrolling over highly populated areas, subdivisions.” On Sunday at about 1:30 a.m., on Jenna Court, near Hwy. 7 and Pine Valley Drive, police video shows the suspect point the gun multiple times before running away from his two friends, hopping a fence, throwing the weapon and hiding in the woods. This is quickly followed by officers using dogs and on-board camera information to locate the suspect and make the arrest. Nicholas Caranci, 19, from Vaughan, has been charged with a slew of offences, including mischief endangering life. According to the Canadian Forces, Caranci’s is a private who joined the military in

February 2014 and last paraded with his unit, 32 Service Battalion, in June. Const. Lubianetzky said in the past those charged under these charges have avoided jail, instead being given conditional discharges and suspended sentences in part because he believes neither the police nor the courts “put enough importance” on the crime. To remedy this, he said the Air2 crew invited the federal Crown to the police hanger at Buttonville Airport to see the impact the trend is having on officers. “There’s really a potential for disastrous consequences — contact from that laser can result in blindness,” he added, noting lasers can also distract officers from their duty, which, in this case, was answering calls about a handgun. In 2011, a 10-year-old boy was caught shining a high powered laser into the helicopter’s cockpit. It’s not only police helicopters that face threats from lasers. In 2014, two WestJet pilots struggled through a landing at Ottawa’s international airport after they were hit by a green

laser beam. York Regional Police introduced its air support unit in 2002 and has been operating out of Buttonville since late 2003. Some of the other charges faced by Caranci include unlawfully engaging in behaviour that endangers aircraft and projecting a bright light into navigable airspace. According to a statement ,the Canadian Armed Forces will also investigate the incident. “The Canadian Armed Forces take all allegations of criminal activity seriously and in all cases, investigations are conducted to determine the facts, analyze the evidence and, if warranted, lay appropriate charges,” a statement said. “The Canadian Armed Forces hold their members to a very high standard of conduct and performance in Canada or abroad, on or off military duty. When an incident, a special circumstance or a professional deficiency occurs that calls into question the member’s suitability for continued service, an administrative review will be initiated to ensure the most appropriate career administrative action is taken.”

Suspect in shooting appears in court By Jeremy Grimaldi

jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

Charged in the Moka Cafe double murder, Jason Hay and his suspected girlfriend made their first court appearances to set a date for bail hearings. On Saturday, the 27-year-old made a short video appearance as family members of the victims and Hay’s father and sister looked on from the Newmarket courtroom. It was at about 2 p.m. last Friday when investigators, hot on Hay’s trail, closed three of four lanes of Hwy. 400, near Mapleview Drive and Essa Road, in Barrie. Police vehicles then moved in to box in Hay’s rental car with three of the police cars making contact with the SUV. When the vehicle was searched, police said they discovered a firearm. Hay, from Mississauga, has been charged with two counts of first degree murder and attempted murder. Police also charged Mississauga resident Tashari Bennett, 25, with accessory after the fact and breach of recognizance. It was last Wednesday when police released an image of Hay, alleging the muscular suspect was not to be approached as he was considered armed and dangerous. Police believe, on June 24, he entered the Hwy. 7 and Islington Avenue cafe, a suspected illegal gambling site after business hours, and shot four people. Maria Voci, 47, from Vaughan, who was working at the cafe was shot dead. Also gunned down was Christopher De Simone, 24, who was a regular at the cafe. Former Toronto mayoral candidate Rocco Di Paola survived the shooting. The fourth victim, who fears for his safety, has not been named by police. Although police have acknowledged the crime was ‘targeted’, there’s no word on who

was the intended target and what was the motive for the shooting. It was just last week when Hay’s mother, Vita Ellis, called for her son to turn himself in. “I can’t function normal. I’ve been through it already, but, again, this is worse,” she said. “I would like him to get a lawyer and go with the lawyer.” Ellis also explained that her son had surgery to remove a cyst in July, which would be after the shooting took place. She told media she had called Hay after police released his image and implicated him in the murder, explaining that he responded incredulously “what”, which he then repeated over and again. Ellis even called Hay on his phone while a CBC reporter was in her house, but the phone went straight to voicemail. His father told the gathered media at the courthouse that it wasn’t his son in the now infamous surveillance footage. The court that convicted Hay of manslaughter in 2009, handing him a seven-year sentence, heard Hay had 50 criminal convictions, many involving violence and assault. The court also heard how Bennett was on bail after a stabbing incident at a Winnipeg bar on Feb. 14, during which four people were stabbed and sent to hospital. “This arrest comes as a direct result of the hard work of the investigative team in our Homicide Unit,” York Regional Police chief Eric Jolliffe said. “These men and women have been working tirelessly on this investigation since this tragic incident took place on June 24. We are appreciative of all of the media coverage and assistance from the citizens of York Region and across the GTA for sharing the images of the suspect and, with that assistance, we were able to make this arrest.” Hay’s bail hearing is Aug. 24.

omore year, she continually improved. “One of the biggest things I think about being any kind of athlete is consistency,” said Vicky Sunohara, her coach at U of T. “She’s one of the most consistent athletes I’ve ever met.” That is high praise coming from Sunohara, who was a member of the Canadian women’s national team from 1990 to 2008. She won Olympic gold medals in 2002 in Salt Lake City and 2006 in Turin. She also won seven gold medals at the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) championships. “Nicole is one of those people that, you know you’re going to get her best no matter what,” Sunohara added. Kesteris finished her five-year career with 101 games played, 14 shutouts, a 51-28 regular season record, a 7-10 playoff record, and a .927 save percentage with a 2.27 goals against average. She also became the first CIS goaltender to be credited with a goal, scoring in a game against Windsor Oct. 20, 2012. Her blocker and glove from that game now reside in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. She received OUA and CIS first-team all-star honours in her senior season, took home the 2014 University of Toronto Athlete of the Year award and is a two-time recipient of the Marion Hilliard Award that recognizes excellence in academics, hockey and the local community. Kesteris’ community involvement and her satisfaction with helping others was a factor in her transition to her new role in goalie development. Bruce Keyes, the director of player and coach development for the Aurora Panthers, knows Kesteris will bring something special to the organization. “It’s hard to explain how valuable Nicole is,” he said in an interview over the phone. “She’ll affect a lot of young girls. She’ll be someone who is making a difference in the lives of young girls playing sports.”

Kesteris’ plan is to focus specifically on fine-tuning the core skills of young female goaltenders at the earliest levels. “You can’t have a good midget team unless you start from the basics and have a good novice team,” she said. “Those are the girls that develop over the years. “If you have a solid foundation in novice and they keep developing and progressing through pee-wee, bantam and midget, come junior, hopefully they’ll be great players.” One major benefit Keyes sees in bringing Kesteris aboard is her ability to watch the development of these young girls on a gameto-game basis. “The advantage Nicole has (living in Aurora) is she’s able to come and watch games,” said Keyes. “She can have a training session, watch the game and come next training session, she can say, ‘See? We worked on that and you got it.’” For Kesteris, her U of T playing career has come to a satisfying end. “I felt like I left my mark,” she said when asked about skating off the ice for the last time. “The program is in the right direction and I hope it’s something I was able to help with.” But as this new chapter opens for her, mentoring and coaching the younger girls will bring her a new satisfaction, especially as she watches these young future puckstoppers take their first strides in the game of hockey. “What makes my day is when I watch them and they make a glove save and they keep the puck in their glove and they skate over to the boards and show their dad or mom that they actually caught the puck,” she said. With the season fast approaching, Keyes and the Panthers organization feel they’ve found their new goalie development coach for the foreseeable future. “With Nicole, we’ve eliminated trying to find that needle in the haystack. We found her,” he said. “The kids and our organization are the big winners in all of this.”

Search for Southlake Foundation directors begins By Chris Traber

ctraber@yrmg.com

The embattled Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation, hobbled by a recent rash of board and staff resignations, is actively working to right the listing ship. The foundation board, with interim chairperson Colette Nemni, vice-chairperson of the Southlake Regional Health Centre board of directors and Dr. Dave Williams, CEO for the hospital, plus two hospital board directors, began reviewing director candidates Monday, hospital communications and culture director Tammy La Rue said. A short list was developed and the next step involves Nemni and foundation president Neila Poscente meeting with the individuals to further explain the role, better understand their previous governance experience and answer any questions candidates may have, La Rue explained. Depending on the candidates’ availability, this process is expected to take a few weeks to complete. “In the meantime, the hospital and foundation continue to work together to finalize plans for some exciting events taking place this fall,” she said. Initiatives include the construction kickoff for the new residential hospice, celebrating the five-year anniversary of the Regional Cancer Program and opening of the Stronach

Regional Cancer Centre, the official opening of the newly expanded electrophysiology suite, a division of the regional cardiac care program. Also on the agenda is the Nov. 7 Black Tie Ball. It’s been a tumultuous summer for the boards of the Newmarket hospital and its foundation. Dora Boylen-Pabst, former Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation vicepresident of philanthropy and engagement until her resignation earlier this month, will join the North York General Foundation effective Sept 9. Boylen-Pabst will assume the role of philanthropy and communication vice president at the Toronto health facility, North York Foundation communications specialist Julia Catton confirmed Monday. Catton also verified the appointment of Jenn Rae as North York Foundation marketing and communication specialist effective Aug. 31. Rae served as Southlake Foundation’s print communications and media coordinator until her recent resignation. In late June, 12 of 14 foundation board directors resigned to protest a directive from the hospital board to replace Poscente. In the wake of the en masse departures, Foundation Black Tie Gala co-chairpersons Felicia Salomon and Susan Chant also handed in their resignations.

ARCHERY DRAWS NEW CROWD

Story by Simone Joseph Photography by Nick Iwanyshyn

Hollywood helps sport attract new participants

W Top to bottom: Kaitlyn Ulrich lines up her shot during the 3-D League Shoot competition on the York County Bowmen grounds Sunday; Tin Quach fixes his scope; a participant checks out some shots; Omar Rodriguez lines up his shot; and a competitor walks the forest.

hen Kaitlyn Ulrich wants to spend quality time with her father, Robert, she grabs her bow. Sunday was no different. The12-year-old competed in the York County Bowmen’s 3D archery competition last weekend. “I just like spending time with my dad and having fun,” she said. The tournament was at the group’s 50-acre site in WhitchurchStouffville, which includes forested areas. Kaitlyn has been shooting since she was six. “I have a lot of fun doing tournaments and spending time with my dad, just practising and being better than last year,” she said. Kaitlyn is part of a trend that has seen more area families attracted

to archery, said Mark Wade, a York County Bowmen committee member. He points to the fact that within the past three years, the club has seen a 25 per cent growth every year in membership, 50 per cent of which are families. “There are families involved, whereas 20 years ago, it was just men,” Wade said.

‘I have a lot of fun doing tournaments and spending time with my dad, just practising and being better than last year.’ Interest in the club spiked so much over the past year that, at one point, the club had to freeze the number of new memberships accepted. “We couldn’t handle the capacity anymore,” Wade said. The real challenge is having enough space inside for the indoor winter season, he said. Bowmen member Bill Ault points to The Hobbit movies as another source influencing people to try archery. The films take place in fictional Middle Earth 60 years

‘There are families involved, whereas 20 years ago, it was just men.’

before the beginning of The Lord of the Rings. The filmmaker added in female archers even though this was not in the original novel, Ault said. “They put her in because there is a great interest in female archers,” he said. In the movies, an elf archer, Tauriel, shoots a bow in battle. The character never appeared in J.R.R. Tolkien’s original works. Of course, there have been other influences increasing interest in archery. “The Hunger Games increased our female participation,” Wade said. Others, such as Gentian Zoto, 42, are just drawn to archery for the pure love of the sport. “I like competing. I like being with people. It is very social. You meet a lot of great people and travel everywhere.” Zoto competed in Sunday’s tournament, which included 40 targets that looked like animals, but were artificial. York County Bowmen’s 50-acre site is at 15887 McCowan Rd., near Aurora Road.

Hawks prove there’s no reason they can’t achieve YORKTOWN PLAZA big things HOME OUTFITTERS Lee, Six Nations chase Minto Cup title

Ryan Lee is part of the Six Nations Arrows that is playing for

Junior A lacrosse supremacy starting Saturday night. The 21-year-old Sharon resident is a forward with the Arrows, which open a best-of-seven Minto Cup series this weekend against

the Western Canada champion Coquitlam Adanacs in Six Nations. Lee has contributed 10 goals and 27 points in six playoff games to the Six Nations cause, including a five-game triumph over the Peter-

borough Lakers. Earlier, the Arrows completed four-game sweeps of the Burlington Chiefs and Whitby Warriors. In 10 regular season games, Lee had 25 points, including six goals.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 21 TO MONDAY, AUGUST 24

All season, members of the Newmarket Hawks peewee baseball team have been quietly and efficiently churning along and, internally, asking themselves this question: Why not us? Indeed, why not them to wear the Team Ontario label into the Baseball Canada peewee championship tournament starting today at Repentigny, Que.? “It was something mentioned at one of our indoor workouts in the winter and came up again in the season,” said field manager Doug Lunney, pointing to the catchphrase that sparked the team of 12-year-olds to become just the second Newmarket Baseball Association team to win a Baseball Ontario eliminations tournament title and berth at nationals. “I thought we were in the top three or maybe five teams (in Ontario). Sometimes it’s just a case of being the weekend you get hot.” The point being, of course, that the North Newmarket Lions-sponsored Hawks were as good a candidate as any to capture top prize in the province for the 2002-born baseball set. They were pretty darn good when it mattered, posting six wins in seven games during the 20-team tournament held in the Windsor area over four days on the Civic Day weekend. Newmarket capped its title drive by overcoming a six-run lead after one inning to rock the York Simcoe Baseball Association rival Markham Mariners for gold. The Hawks start play Thursday morning against the Quebec champion and are pooled with Prince Edward Island, Ontario 3 (London Badgers) and Saskatchewan for the round-robin segment. The tournament runs until Sunday. Lunney and his coaching staff had first dibs on adding players from across the province to bolster the roster. They opted to focus on pitching to help work through potentially six games. “(The players) earned it so they deserve the chance to play and do well,” reasoned Lunney. “Adding pitching will give us a better chance to do well. I think it will work out.” With a schedule chock full of baseball and off-field activities ahead, it figures to be the experience of a lifetime for the young Hawks. “We think it is such a neat experience for them; we want them to enjoy it,” said Lunney, himself a graduate of the NBA and now coaching a team that includes his son, Reid. “I think they think they know, but I’m not quite sure they understand what they’re going into. We’ll tell them to play like it’s a typical game, but the overall experience is what we’re really looking for. “I think the coaches get it more in terms of magnitude, but they’re pretty pumped up and excited.” The Hawks will also compete in the 59th CNE Peewee Baseball Tournament, receiving a first-round bye, before opening play Aug. 27. After that, the Hawks will contest the Baseball Ontario triple-A championships in Vaughan Labour Day weekend.

Newmarket United U-14s win McGarrigle Cup in shootout Goalkeeper Melanie Fraser was stellar in a shootout as her teammates scored on three of four attempts to push Newmarket United to the girls’ under-14 championship in the York Region Soccer League’s McGarrigle Cup title game Saturday in Keswick against the Markham Lightning.

Richmond goes fishing, lands Steelheads gig

iven the changing of stripes in the Aurora Tigers’ den this offseason, the time was right for James Richmond to pack up his equipment bag and move on. After five seasons as general manager and head coach, the last two as coach of the year recipient, Richmond is now a former Tiger, as he leaves Aurora to join the Ontario Hockey League’s Mississauga Steelheads as an assistant coach. It’s an add-on to his portfolio as a member of the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings’ development team, where he enters his third season. The ownership shift into the hands of former NHLer Jim Thomson triggered Richmond’s decision to opt to move up the hockey ladder. It’s not that it was a bombastic situation by any means. It was, however, an ideal getting off point for Richmond, who spent four seasons with the Georgetown Raiders prior to joining the Tigers. Talks about the sale of the Tigers to Thomson, who is president and general manager, and his wife, Rita, started in the spring and finally reached handshakes in late July. In fact, Richmond spoke with part owner Enrico Lisi, with whom he had a contract, and Thomson regarding his role in the team. Even with his coaching job seemingly secure, Richmond is cognizant that ownership change almost inevitably impacts other areas, prompting him to test the OHL’s waters. “I thought any owner coming in wants to put his stamp on it,” said Richmond, who interviewed with multiple OHL teams for positions ranging from general manager to head coach. “That’s his prerogative. If I was going to take one of these jobs, I thought it might as well be now. “I liked doing what I did in Aurora on the ice and putting kids on to college. It’s just good for me to go now. “I was kind of weighing (possibilities) but don’t really have any aspirations to be a GM,” Richmond continued, noting he knows Steelheads GM and head coach James Boyd. “It just felt right. Mississauga was one of several (options) and they wanted me to keep the L.A. thing.” Richmond, 51, turned around a Tigers franchise that was like a three-ring circus when he arrived from Georgetown. Initially, he straightened out an on-ice mess created by a management team headed by Lonnie Freeman, forever destined to be a forgettable footnote in Tigers hockey history. He also survived dual dad owners and later a power struggle between those dad owners, when Lisi backed Richmond a

couple of summers ago in a staredown with former partner Bruce Moody. Richmond is probably thrilled to get to a level of hockey where that nuance is no longer part of the equation. In departing now, Richmond leaves behind a roster that potentially had 14 players returning after a season in which the Tigers finished first in the North-East Conference and lost in the conference final in the playoffs. Initially, it figured to be another pretty fair season, so it’s not like the ship was sinking. Now, well, we’ll see over the next few weeks. Interestingly, when camp opened Monday night, incoming head coach and assistant GM Mark Joslin welcomed just nine members of last season’s team among the 45 players on the Aurora Community Centre ice surface. Topping the list of those wanting out of town is high-scoring Johnny Curran, who Thomson touted as a potential captain this season. “It’s a blessing for (Richmond) to get this opportunity and a great opportunity for Mark Joslin to join a great program,” said Thomson, 49. For his part, Thomson understands what will be said on social media forums, where hand-me-down teams are scorned. The new owner, who purchased the playing rights of his defenceman son from the Kanata Lasers of the Central Canada Hockey League, pledges he will put the time, toil and sweat into raising the Tigers’ profile within the community. Thomson also inquired about other teams at the Junior A level within the OJHL and Ottawa-area CCHL before the ice chips settled in Aurora, his adopted home town. The product on the ice, he said, will be in the hands of Joslin, a member of Jerome Dupont’s coaching staff in the 2007 Royal Bank Cup championship season. “People can say what they want, but I am very, very excited,” said Thomson, a Markham Waxers alumnus from his Junior A days. “I want the support of Aurora. I can’t speak for others, but the new ownership will be out shaking hands and meeting people. “We’ve stepped into a beautiful situation and want to keep it in place.” Just Jawin’ … The game didn’t happen because the Newmarket Hawks midget elites swept a best-of-three series against the Barrie Red Sox, but the final for a midget triple-A baseball qualifier for the Ontario championships should not be scheduled for an 8 a.m. start on a Sunday morning – or any morning at 8 o’clock, for that matter. Terrible scheduling … The Aurora Tigers are offering free admission for the home opener Sept. 11 against the St. Michael’s Buzzers.

Murray Broad took pride in local parks, nature BY SIMON MARTIN

smartin@yrmg.com

ome people prefer the limelight while others like to operate behind the scenes. Murray Broad was one of the latter. The 82-year-old Broad passed away early this year leaving a void in the community. Born and bred on a farm in Mount Albert, Broad eventually moved to Holland Landing with his wife, Mae, where they raised their children, Ron and Susan. A trucker by day, Broad still had plenty of time to meet members from the community during his off time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad always did stuff under the radar unbeknownst to anybody. He never did anything to draw attention to himself,â&#x20AC;? Ron said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad was just one of those good people.â&#x20AC;? Whether it was trees growing out of control on a boulevard or garbage littering the local park, Ron said his dad would always lend a hand when nobody was watching. While his children spent many years playing at the pavilion in Anchor Park, it was later in life, during his retirement, that Murray went to the park daily. Broad and his German shepherd-black lab mix, Babe, were fixtures at the park. He would go to there every day to clean up

papers, bottles and whatever else needed to be thrown away. The town even gave him a special garbage pick-up stick. Because he spent so much time at the park, people got to know Murray and his dog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all knew who Babe was,â&#x20AC;? Ron said. Murray would collect cans and put them in a homemade contraption that would shape the cans into a compact square for recycling. Anyone who knew Murray also knew about his extensive love for animals. If he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working, there was a good chance he would head to the lake with his rod. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a stone in Lake Simcoe that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about,â&#x20AC;? Ron said. An accomplished lake trout angler, Murray passed along his passion to his grandchildren who now fish the same waters he did. Aside from fishing, Murray loved horses and took care of Bob Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horses for many years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a bit of a horse whisperer,â&#x20AC;? Ron said. After dinner, Murray would love to go to the old Coffee Time at the four corners in Sharon and kibitz with locals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were rectifying all the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems. In their minds, Holland Landingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Murray Broad was always ready with a helping hand. He was a fixture at Holland Landingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s they had them all solved,â&#x20AC;? Ron Anchor Park, cleaning up papers, bottles and cans, which he compressed in a homemade contraption. said.

Vintage Mustang a ‘first love’

LOCAL RIDE

ROAD TEST

for local enthusiast

Chris Traber

Jim Robinson

Metroland Media

Everybody remembers their first love. Often we try and revisit that special relationship and recapture the magic. In 2004 that’s exactly what Carol Bell did. Only difference is it wasn’t reconnecting with a person. In her case it was Ford Mustang. The lady with the megawatt smile isn’t shy about showcasing her pristine 1969 Mach1 Super Cobra Jet Mustang. The resident of Churchill, north of Bradford, recalled the full circle that brought the award-winning pony into her stable of vintage and exotic cars. “As a teen, my first car was a ’68 Mustang 2+2, 302 cubic inch fastback,” Carol said at a recent Sunday evening Aurora-Canadian Tire car show. I tried to find it, but couldn’t find insurance records or the VIN number. My husband and I drive Corvettes, but I wanted my Mustang.” After an exhaustive search, the Bells discovered the Acapulco Blue-hued Mach1. While not Carol’s original car, it was a welcome substitute. The vehicle had undergone a 12-year rehabilitation, a lengthy restoration because the owner refused to use aftermarket parts. “It was rebuilt from the ground up,” she said. “All original. It looked like it came off the factory floor.” Husband Dave knows the machine’s specs, but defers to his wife. The Mach1 with its 428 cubic inch V8 racing engine is exceedingly

Civic Coupe refreshed for more aggressive look

Carol Bell’s 1969 Mach1 Super Cobra Jet was rebuilt from the ground up.

rare. Only 500 were built to satisfy NASCAR requirements. “Most of those 428s were blown up in races,” he said. When the Bells found the car, the full $66,000 price was offered. “The owner was so attached to the Mach1 that he backed out twice despite the fact we had a certified cheque in our hand,” Dave said. The 335-horse power, four-speed

with 4:10 rear end gearing ratio and shaker induction carburetor is made for show and go, Carol said. “It has never seen the rain and is always in a heated garage,” she said. “It goes faster than anyone would want to drive it.” The Mach1 with a fully detailed undercarriage and fold down sport deck rear seat is carefully driven to car shows throughout York Region.

This Mach 1’s 428 cubic inch V8 racing engine is exceedingly rare. Only 500 were built to satisfy NASCAR requirements.

Mostly for display, the Mustang did compete and won second prize at the Cruise Nationals at the Canadian National Exhibition several years ago. The scarce ‘Stang join’s the Bell’s ’73 Cadillac Eldorado and trio of Corvettes, including a 2000 Z06, another ‘00 and a ’77 L82-4 speed. Having the 46-year old Ford buoys Carol’s sense of nostalgia, returning her to her 18th year and the thrill of driving what was one of North America’s most popular cars. The couple attends and shows off their timeless collection at some dozen shows each summer. Being part of the vintage car community is appealing, Carol said. “We all love the classics and we’re all here for the same reasons,” she said. Gently patting the Mach1’s hood, she notes, “But this one gets a lot of notice.” Carol admits she’s not exactly handy with a wrench. “But I understand the talk and can walk the walk,” she said with a giggle.

Meet Canada’s automotive sweetheart – the Honda Civic. For 17 years straight, going on 18, the Civic has been the number one selling car in this country. Just for the record, the number one selling vehicle in Canada for decades has been Ford’s evergreen F-150 pickup truck. While there are literally millions of ways to configure a F-150, Honda keeps it pretty simple when it comes to the Civic – a sedan or a coupe as tested here. There is a hybrid Civic sedan (base, $27,200) but production of that ends this model year. If you want a Civic-size Honda hybrid, there is always the CR-Z (base $22,990). There is no wagon, but the subcompact Fit (base, $14,575) or HR-V compact CUV (base, $20,690) more than fill the bill. As for a convertible, I’m sure Honda has considered it, but the Civic’s patented, super strong hoop-like ACE safety structure precludes that. The Civic Coupe comes in four models starting with the entry LX, EX and EX-L with navigation. All are powered by a 1.8-litre SOHC inline four-cylinder with 143 hp and 129 lb/ft of torque. The fourth is the hotrod Si with 2.4-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder with 205 hp and 174 lb/ft of torque. All Coupes are front-wheel-drive with no all-wheel-drive available. On the LX and EX a five-speed manual transmission is standard with a CVT optional. The CVT is standard on the EX-L Navi with a six-speed manual exclusive to the Si. All but the Si run on regular fuel with the five-speed model clocking 8.6/6.6/7.7L/100 km city/highway/combined. The CVT comes in at 7.9/6.1/7.1L/100 km for the LX due to its slightly lesser weight and 8.1/6.2/7.2L/100 for the two EX models. The premium burning Si is Turn to page W2

BMW concept M4 GTS premiered during Monterey Car Week BMW M4 MotoGP Safety Car with a noticeable increase in output and torque. The water injection system introduced by BMW M GmbH sees the engineers using the physical effect of water when vaporizing to draw the required energy from the ambient medium. The water is injected into the plenums of the intake manifold as a fine spray. When water vaporizes and goes through its phase transition absorbs heat, cooling the air intake significantly. As a result, the final compression temperature in the combustion chamber – and therefore the engine’s tendency to “knock” – is reduced, enabling the turbocharged engine to use higher boost pressure and type of light source producing full-surface vidual light modules which emit light to a earlier injection timing. single point provide flexibility and allow for The BMW Concept M4 GTS is fitted with and homogenous illumination.

At this year’s Monterey Car Week, BMW staged the initial preview of a high-performance model for use on the road and on the racetrack: the BMW Concept M4 GTS – the first M3/M4 special production vehicle to be sold in the US. The BMW Concept M4 GTS showcases new technologies which will debut in production vehicles later this year. The BMW Concept M4 GTS features the innovative water injection system that has already provided a significant output and torque boost in the BMW M4 MotoGP Safety Car.

Unless I have a crowd to carry or load to haul, bulky rides like minivans and sevenpassenger SUVs aren’t typically on my radar. So when Volvo announced they were unveiling the all-new XC90 in Stockholm last August, my excitement was directed largely toward the co-main event – a first drive of their potent, track-ready Polestar sedans and wagons. That being said, I was still pleasantly surprised when they took the wraps off the completely redesigned XC90. Not so much for the styling, which is handsome but not groundbreaking, but for new ideas they’ve brought to this segment. Volvo has high expectations for a model that hasn’t seen any significant changes since launching in 2002. Other than a few minor facelifts along the way, the XC90 was getting long in the tooth. So nearly a year after the unveiling, I’m spending a week with a vehicle that’s been three years in the making – and part of a (US) $11 billion investment that includes retooling for Scalable Product Architecture, which debuts in the XC90 and will allow the company to cost-efficiently build multiple vehicles on the same platform. Ergo, the new design is significant not only in reviving a once popular SUV, but in heralding a brand renewal. Expect an entirely new Volvo lineup to emerge over the next several years. Whether you’ve read my recent review on the V60 Cross Country, or have seen some current product, it’s clear Volvo’s traditional boxiness has finally relented to a few creases and curves. XC90 may not be the best example of this, starting with its big upright grille, but with the signature diagonal slash and new iron mark logo, flanked by narrow-cut headlights and “Thor’s Hammer” T-shaped LED running lights, it creates a bold first impression. Like a fist.

There’s also a longer hood and high beltline, with sharpened shoulders, not to mention large wheel openings that accommodate up to 22-inch alloys – all forming a robust side profile. A prominent roof spoiler, big vertical taillights and pair of rectangular exhaust finishers nicely complete the rear view. But it’s under the skin where Volvo marches to the beat of its own drummer. For example, a dimpled chrome knob between the seats replaces the usual dash-mounted pushbutton start. Just twist to fire up the engine. Which in my tester was the T6, starting at $60,700. Not a turbocharged inline six as you might expect from Volvos past, but a 2.0-litre four cylinder with both supercharger and turbo. This Drive-E powertrain delivers an impressive 320 hp and 295 lb/ft of torque, along with rated fuel economy of 11.5/9.5/10.6 L/100km (city/hwy/comb). Not bad for a behemoth that tips the scales at well over two tons. Still more unorthodox is XC90’s second powertrain – the T8. Once again, its 2.0litre four employs both supercharger and turbocharger, aided by an electric motor to thump out a whopping 407 hp and 472 lb/ ft of torque. This plug-in hybrid can run on battery alone for up to 43 km, and will do the zero100 km/h sprint in only 5.6 seconds. Not at the same time, of course. Both AWD powertrains are mated to an eight-speed Geartronic automatic with sequential shift, but the T8, which starts at $73,400, won’t be available until sometime this winter. For now I’m quite happy with the T6, which outmuscles its 3.2-litre six-cylinder predecessor by 80 hp and 59 lb/ft. So why would Volvo force-feed its new engine with two separate units? Consider that while the exhaust-driven turbocharger is spooling up to deliver its boost, the enginedriven supercharger is already at work. Plant the pedal, and the XC90 bolts off the line, accompanied by a delightful whine from the supercharger. Power builds through the mid range as the turbo joins in, taking the T6 Turn to page W8

Continued from page W1 rated at 10.8/7.6/9.4L/100 km. Just recapping history, the first generation Civic arrived in 1972 and quickly gained a reputation for being stout and thrifty but small on the inside. That all changed with the third generation (1983-1982) with its wide rear hatch which started Civic on its way to best selling car in Canada. It was the eighth generation Civic bowing in 2006 that set the trend for the shape of the Coupe and Sedan, as we know them today. With a pronounced sweep of the roofline starting with the steeply inclined windshield,

the Civic, Coupe especially, looks like an ellipse from nose flowing back to the tail. When the Civic was refreshened in 2012 it was not received well by owners who complained about low-ball interior trim and limp handling. Honda took that very seriously with the 2013 model, looking the same but a different vehicle under the skin, which leads us to the 2015 Coupe tested here that marks the ninth generation Civic. For the record, the tenth generation Civic was shown in concept form earlier this year at the New York Auto Show based on a new global platform.

The 2015 Civic EX Coupe as tested here is built at Honda’s Alliston assembly plant and close inspection shows how well it is put together. Shut lines and body panel gaps are very tight but it is the interior where the quality control shows through in the sweep of the main instrument panel as it flows to the door panel without a break in the character line. The instrument panel itself sports the Civic’s unique two-tier gauge location with a large tach on the lower level and the speedo and driver information display on the upper level — the theory being it’s easier to see than glancing side to side with a normal main gauge layout. After listening to customer feedback, the styling of the nose is much more aggressive now with large lower scoops a-la-Porsche. The flowing bodylines of the Coupe are made more so by the 16-inch alloy wheels with a “bent” 10-spoke design that really add to the overall look. The manual gearbox is typically Honda, being very light to the hand but with positive spring loading to hasten precise shifts up and down through the gear range. The clutch is also light, too light for me as I could never feel where the point of engagement with the pressure plate was. Seating position for the driver is superlative with seat travel that should accommodate everyone big, tall or small. While it doesn’t look it, the cargo area at 311 litres is quite capacious, that grows dramatically when the 60/40 rear seat is folded flat. The 2015 Honda Civic EX Coupe with manual transmission as tested comes in at $21,350, $22,650 if you go for the CVT. That compares with the base five-speed

New XC90 part of Volvo’s brand renewal

for kids – or at least one of them when separating a squabbling brother and sister – but they’re a bit squishy for adults much over five-foot-seven. Space behind is limited (279 litres), but drop the 50/50 back row and the 40/20/40 second row for a cavernous 2,427 litres. All seats fold flat. Other standard features include power tailgate; 19-inch alloy wheels; heated front seats with eight-way power for both and memory for the driver; rain-sensing wipers and a tenspeaker audio system. All that, and a pack of driver aids like pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane departure warning, speed limit information, road edge barrier detection with auto steer, and park assist camera. With alternatives like BMW X5, Mercedes M-Class and Lexus RX, the XC90 has always faced stiff competition. But after this bumperto-bumper remake, I’d suggest it can challenge the best in its class – not just in terms of Volvo’s customary safety, but in any area that truly matters to the luxury buyer.

Continued from page W4

model from zero to 100 km/h in a still snappy 6.5 seconds. Of course, that’s in Dynamic mode, one of five drive options selected by clicking and rolling a uniquely-styled chrome cylinder

I’d suggest it can challenge the best in its class - not just in terms of Volvo’s customary safety, but in any area that truly matters

”

TOP: The clean, minimalist centre stack in the all-new XC90 features a 9.3-inch tablet that eliminates most buttons. It controls the majority of vehicle functions, also giving access to a wide range of Internet-based services. BOTTOM: All seats fold individually for a flat cargo floor and a maximum of 2,427 litres.

that toggles between Eco, Comfort, Off Road, Dynamic and Individual. All are displayed on a 9.3-inch touchscreen that works like your tablet. Just swipe for adjacent screens where the apps are intuitively grouped – for example to the left where you’ll find most vehicle functions like safety aids, headlights, wipers and even an app that drops the large middle-row headrests to improve rear visibility. There’s also one for “driver performance,” which initially displayed a fuel-sucking 14.7 litres/100 km. That was mostly city driving – in Dynamic mode – so I switched to Eco and with a light pedal and more time on the highway, managed a respectable 10.2. The XC90’s centre console has a clean, minimalist look with its large tablet also taking care of navigation, audio, phone and climate – leaving only a thin strip of buttons and single knob below. Every model also gets leather seating, panoramic sunroof, four-zone automatic climate, and second-row occupants enjoy individual settings for right and left passenger, and a set of touch-sensitive controls for the optional heated seats. The standard-equipped third row is ideal
