here is an old farming proverb that says, “Make hay while the sun shines.”

There’s science behind the old adage: If you reap hay too soon, it is too green and if you reap it too late, you run the risk of rain ruining the entire crop.

No one better understands a window of opportunity than Don Howard who has farmed on 2nd Concession his whole life.

Howard rents 300 acres in the area to grow hay and other cash crops. Howard’s farm also sells beef, pork, chickens, lamb, eggs and maple syrup from his home and at the Newmarket and Aurora farmers markets.

With his fingers in so many pots, Howard makes the most of his final years on 2nd Concession.

He can see the writing on the wall with each construction vehicle steaming by: the sun is finally setting.

“I’m the last farmer on this street,” he said.

Times have changed.

Growing up on a dairy farm at the corner of Green Lane and 2nd Concession, Howard remembers farmers living all down the road.

He started listing names of families who used to work the fields … “Joe Kelly, the Mitchells, Pegg,” he said, as he sticks out one finger at a time. He got to 15 names and paused.

“They’re all gone.”

Sitting on Howard’s front lawn on the 2nd just north of Mount Albert Sideroad, it’s not hard to see why.

A veritable parade of dump trucks, bulldozers and diggers roll by daily as they feverishly work to complete the region’s massive 2nd Concession reconstruction and York Durham Sewage System extension.

The road will deliver the muchneeded sewer capacity to service all the new homes in East Gwillimbury and it will pave the way to

Howard’s eventual eviction.

He and his wife, Deb, have bought a farm in Uxbridge as backup. “It does give us peace of mind,” he said.

But Howard is going to make use of whatever time he has left at his current location, where he has lived and worked the land for the past 41 years.

He hops into his Chevy truck and weaves his way past a digger to his barn just across the road.

Howard loves to talk shop and is a fountain of knowledge. He wraps up a minute-long explanation about why an egg is runnier in the summer.

“The chickens drink more water,” he said. It’s this type of interaction that he cherishes with customers at the farmers market as he gets to explain where their food is coming from.

Howard has developed a loyal following for his naturally raised meat. When asked if it’s organic, he chuckles.

“No, but I tell’ em they eat grass, hay and a little grain,” he said.

“The public doesn’t want any added hormone.”

Howard swings open the door of the century old barn and out wafts the sweet scent of hay.

Square bales are piled as high as the eye can see.

He grabs some feed and dumps it in the trough to try and coax his cattle out of the barn on this hot summer afternoon.

A dozen cows line up at the trough, hoping to get a shot at some grub. There was a different kind of feeding frenzy just down the road in February when more than 1,000 people lined the road to get a shot at a new home in the new Minto Queen’s Landing Community.

It is clear the crops of choice have changed on this road.

It’s no longer about hay, but homes.

Howard doesn’t begrudge developers trying to make hay while the sun is shining bright on the real

But he wonders if it is really what’s best for the surroundings.

“I’m of the belief nature looks after nature,” he said. “Stuff happens when you disturb it.”

Howard can only shake his head at all the construction. The school being built across the road. The road being widened. The sewer pipes going in. The beauty of the area is becoming harder to see.

“See all this? It was absolutely gorgeous. It still is gorgeous,” Howard said, gesturing at the lush green rolling hills adorned with trees in the distance.

“What will it be like when the trees are gone and there are houses?”

and Carruthers, MPPs Helena Jaczek and Ann Hoggarth joined the celebration.

Tanaka quoted Wynne, arguing, “if Stephen Harper won’t lead the way, he should get out of the way”.

Tanaka spoke of “undoing a decade of neglect, of a refusal to lead” by the Harper Conservatives, with a new Liberal government that would work with the province and local municipalities, to grow the local economy, fund quality health care, invest in transportation infrastructure and transit, promote local tourism, support the agricultural sector, deliver affordable seniors’ housing, and fight climate change.

“Harper has the unique, unprecedented record of being the only prime minister in Canadian history to have two recessions under his leadership — the first one in 2008, but this one is his,” she said.

“He owns this one,” Tanaka charged, adding the Liberal plan, instead, calls for meaningful tax relief for the middle class and a bigger, tax-free Canada Child Benefit for low and middle-income families.

The premier echoed Tanaka’s vision for investments in communities, noting the challenges of working with “an unco-operative and absent Harper government, one that refuses to enhance pensions or invest in transit, even while cutting funding for health care, infrastructure and housing”.

It was a packed house seeing red — and white — that welcomed a Liberal premier to Georgina Thursday night for the first time in recent memory.

Mayor Margaret Quirk said Premier Kathleen Wynne’s visit to Boston Pizza in Keswick to help Liberal candidate Shaun Tanaka officially kick off her federal election bid for the York-Simcoe seat was the first time a premier had visited Georgina in Quirk’s nearly 20 years on council as far as she could recall.

Quirk invited her back to see the beauty in Pefferlaw and Sutton.

And that may just happen, with rumours of an early campaign in advance of the election day currently scheduled for Oct. 19.

Georgina may also be considered fertile political ground for planting some Liberal election seeds, despite the fact it has been a Conservative stronghold both provincially and federally for the past two decades.

Just ask provincial Liberal candidate and school board trustee Loralea Carruthers also in attendance Thursday night, who, last year, nearly unseated 20-year Progressive Conservative incumbent Julia Munro.

Tanaka kicked off her election campaign at a rally attended by a capacity, standingroom-only crowd with some pretty heavy party players in tow. In addition to Wynne

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

SUNDAY FORUM

My summer’s going to the dogs

I

enjoyed a needed vacation last week and basked in perfect summery weather, relaxing at the beach over a good 1,000-page novel at my favourite park in Ontario, or maybe Canada — Sandbanks.

But I couldn’t help thinking that my week had revolved around four-legged animals, specifically dogs.

I had planned a short vacation retreat at a resort in historic Prince Edward County — or “The County” as locals call it.

For decades, my father and our extended family enjoyed a family farm in Picton and so for both my adult daughter and myself, summer isn’t summer without a stay in The County and beach time at Sandbanks.

Since the farm was sold after my father’s death, we now are among the hoards of tourists who flock to resorts, cabins, trailer parks and campgrounds in the area.

After weeks of negotiations with my daughter, involving the work schedule of her boyfriend (guess he’s officially her “partner” as they are now living together) and, most importantly, the care of their two dogs, the dates were set and the resort room booked.

As dogs aren’t allowed at the resort, part of the vacation deal involved our daughter’s dog, Bruno, and the partner’s dog, Alaska, staying at a “Pet Hotel” — aka our Richmond Hill home.

My husband and son had mixed feelings about their sudden dog-care duties.

Bruno was part of our family home for almost two years when our daughter lived at home and worked in Aurora; they were a package deal. But when she worked or visited every weekend with her boyfriend, Bruno became the walking, feeding, playtime responsibility of the rest of our family.

So despite some protests, I knew both my husband and son were pleased to dig out the dog toys and welcome Bruno back home for a brief stay.

Alaska, a girl dog, was an unknown houseguest. She and Bruno have become doggy pals now that their human parents live together, but she’d never stayed overnight in our home.

Marney Beck AUTHOR: Marney Beck is editor of the Richmond Hill/ Thornhill Liberal newspapers.

At any rate, with tales wagging and then with brief howls of protest when my daughter and her partner left to head to Sandbanks, they settled in to our home.

There were more howls of protest when I headed out the door too, loaded down with coolers and bags.

At any rate, I drove to The County, met my daughter and her partner at the beach for a picnic lunch, and was then informed that they had to return to the GTA that very day for a very good reason.

“I have a job interview!” she announced.

After many months of unemployment and job searching, this was welcome news — as any parent of a young person this day and age would agree.

And, while not what I had envisaged after paying for four years of university education, it was an assistant manager job at a pet store — perfect for the passionate pet owner and animal lover that she is.

The next day, while lounging in the sand watching families cavort in gentle waves, I received a happy text: “I got the job!”

Upon my return home, I learned that my husband and son had survived their dog-sitting duties quite well. The only damage done was to a couple of plants in the back garden, trampled by an excited Alaska trying to capture one of many squirrels.

When my good friend in Newmarket called that same week to tell me her new York Region Pet Services business was doing well, describing with humour the Rottweilers, cats and other pets she was caring for, I decided that my week really was going to the dogs, but in a good way.

Growth has created divided communities York Region municipalities have seen rapid growth over the past 20 years.

Money Sense magazine (and as reported by York Region Media Group) named Newmarket as the best place to live in York Region, placing it 23rd in Canada out of 209.

I am proud to have grown up in a town that is diverse in culture and rich in its sense of community. As a young woman, I hope to be able to remain in this community and raise a family.

Unfortunately, there is one problem. The cost of housing has skyrocketed to the point where young people cannot afford to own a home here. The cost of rent is equivalent to a mortgage payment, if not more, in some cases.

There are many affluent subdivisions as part of this growth, but even larger growth in poverty and that has created a division in our community.

As York Region rapidly grew, strategies for housing and incentives to build dedicated rental apartments and affordable housing units have equally decreased. There is minimal attention to the specific ways in which our community’s vulnerable populations are impacted by this and are at great risk of homelessness.

These individuals and/or families include,

but are not exclusive to: recent immigrants, seniors, low-income persons, single-parent families, individuals living with disabilities and persons living with mental illness.

Political awareness to this issue is not negated as several articles in local papers have included their awareness and their intensions to address the issue. One barrier is the common Not In My Back Yard or NIMBYism.

The stigma directed toward vulnerable people is an even larger issue. I suggest those in government look deeper into this issue.

Finally, exploring new funding models and locations where affordable housing can be built are strategies that should be implemented.

If the seriousness of this issue is not soon addressed, vulnerable persons living in our community will be at greater risk of marginalization and will be faced with the consequences of homelessness, lack of food, limited or no shelter options and appropriate care. It is imperative we become more aware of the issues that daunt our community and actively stride toward finding solutions.

Worldwide, 400 million people are infected and 1.4 million people die from viral hepatitis every year.

York Region is encouraging you to take action on World Hepatitis Day July 28.

The region’s public health professionals’ message is blunt: Get the facts. Protect yourself. Get tested.

Hepatitis is an infection that can cause inflammation of the liver which can lead to serious liver damage, liver cancer and the need for a liver transplant. There are five types of the hepatitis virus: A, B, C, D and E. Hepatitis A, B and C are the most common types of viral hepatitis in Canada and are all contagious. Hepatitis A is spread through contaminated food or water, while hepatitis B and C are both spread through contact with contaminated blood. Hepatitis A and B can also be sexually transmitted.

Hepatitis D only occurs in people already

infected with hepatitis B virus. Hepatitis E, most common in developing countries, is spread via contaminated water or food.

How can you protect yourself?

Depending on the type of viral hepatitis, you can reduce your risk of infection by: • Washing your hands properly before and after preparing and eating food; • Practicing safer sex with consistent and correct use of condoms; • Not sharing personal materials that may come into contact with blood such as needles, razors and toothbrushes; • Getting vaccinated – vaccines are available to prevent hepatitis A and B. Worried you might have been exposed?

Get tested by your health care provider at no cost. It is quick and easy to do.

For more details on health programs, contact York Region Health Connection at 1-800-361-5653 or visit york.ca/health.

Connor McDavid hosts Jumpstart Games in Newmarket i

BY CHRIS SIMON

csimon@yrmg.com

Connor McDavid helped give some local children a jumpstart on their athletic achievements this week.

The Newmarket-born Edmonton Oilers centre, who was the first overall pick in the 2015 National Hockey League entry draft last month, was in his hometown Friday, playing with kids and sharing advice during a Jumpstart Games event at the Ray Twinney Recreation Complex. About 300 local children participated in seven different activities throughout the day, including hockey drills and skills development and a shooting gallery. Kids even played a game of ball hockey using pool noodles as sticks.

“It’s very special for me to be here at Ray Twinney; I grew up here and goofed around in the parking lot with my buddies,” McDavid, a Jumpstart ambassador, said. “It’s a wonderful program and today’s going to be a great day that gets kids moving. It should be a lot of fun; the main thing with sports is just to have fun.”

McDavid spent significant time playing sports at Ray Twinney growing up — he often had hockey practices at the site and also played games for the Newmarket Redbirds Lacrosse Club.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart is a nationally registered charity dedicated to helping financially disadvantaged children participate in organized sports and physical activity.

Tyler Fatheringham (right) out-duels Newmarket-born Edmonton Oilers centre Connor McDavid in a stickhandling exercise during the Jumpstart Games held at the Ray Twinney Recreation Comlex in Newmarket Friday.

The games give some of those kids an opportunity to participate in an enjoyable day that helps build teamwork skills. They can also interact with peers and more than 100 volunteers.

Since 2005, Jumpstart has helped more than 900,000 children.

“It’s a feel-good group and something that’s close to my heart,” McDavid said. “It’s sad to hear the numbers of kids that don’t

get the opportunity to be in sports. Obviously, Jumpstart doing the work it does, allows (kids to play). It’s something I feel very strongly about.”

McDavid is excited for the upcoming NHL season, especially given the Oilers’ recent hiring of general manager Peter Chiarelli and head coach Todd McLellan.

“I’m just going to go in there and do the best I can,” he said. “They’ve made some great moves; anytime you can bring in great hockey minds like that, some good stuff’s going to happen.

“They’ve had a good core for a long time now and it’s bound to grow.”

McDavid’s also humble on his anticipated role with the team.

“I’ve had a good summer in the gym and look forward to heading into training camp,” he said. “By no means is a spot locked up; I have to earn it. I’m just really focused on being the best I can be.”

When asked about the Toronto Maple Leafs’ unexpected hiring of new general manager Lou Lamoriello earlier this week, McDavid was tight-lipped.

“It’s not my place to say,” McDavid said.

“Obviously, they were looking for someone to fill that spot. It’s a good move, I guess.”

Friday’s event was held in collaboration with local Canadian Tire dealer Wayne Ford.

What is the difference between a “power of attorney” and the “executor” of an estate?

The primary difference is that powers of attorney is a function during someone’s lifetime and an executor / executrix function takes effect once somebody has passed away. A power of attorney is a legal document where a principal appoints an agent.

Dryer Vent Cleaning, Repair, Installation

Why would I want a water softener to soften my water?

Do I need my dryer or dryer vent cleaned?

There are various reasons why you would want to soften your home’s water.

For instance it will protect your biggest investment, your home! It also greatly reduces scaling of pipes, faucets, pots and glasses. As well, if you have a tankless hot water system, most manufacturers will void the warranty if you don’t run soft water through the unit. When you wash your skin with hard water there is a layer of soap and minerals that is left on your skin. This is what causes the supposed “squeaky-clean” feeling, with soft water the soap is completely rinsed away, leaving the natural oils your skin produces.

TYLER JOHNSON

The Ontario Fire Dept. responds, on average, to a dryer fire every two days. These fires are all preventable with proper maintenance. Over time, highly flammable lint builds up in and around your dryer and dryer vent. This lint is easily ignited by the heating element or an electrical spark from a mechanical failure. The probability of the fire spreading into the home greatly increases with the use of plastic or foil vents.

Warning signs of dryer issues include, clothes take longer than a regular cycle to dry and/or a build up of lint in and around the back of the dryer. Dryer Vent Wizard specializes in cleaning dryer vents, correcting dryer vent issues and de-linting the inside of most dryer models. A clean, properly installed and maintained dryer vent can also decrease energy costs by $18 to $24 per month while giving you peace of mind.

What is causing my toes to become clawed?

My CPAP machine doesn’t seem to work as well as it used to.

What should I do?

I had braces as a teenager and now my teeth are crowded again.

I would like to fix them but I am not willing to wear braces again. Is there anything that can be done?

SARAH CHAN

Toes that are clawed or curled can make it difficult to wear shoes comfortably as the toes constantly rub inside the shoes and form blisters, calluses or corns. Claw toes can be caused by muscle imbalance which leads to ligaments and tendons that are attached to the toes to become tight. Treatment of the muscle imbalance is important to prevent the clawing and may include exercises, proper footwear and stabilizing foot support. Extra broad and deep toe boxed footwear is also helpful to prevent toe discomfort.

Like many common items we use every day, CPAP equipment can show signs of wear & tear and can even break down. To get the best results from your PAP therapy it’s important to ensure your machine is still delivering the pressure level prescribed by your physician. For these reasons, we recommend regular inspection of your CPAP equipment every 6 months or, at minimum, annually.

We invite you to come in and meet with me or one of my colleagues for a no-cost pressure check and equipment inspection. We’ll make sure your machine, mask and hose are in good working order and, if they’re not, we will help you understand the options for repair and/or replacement.

Call today to book an appointment or drop by our Main St. office. Our job is to help you sleep better!

DR. NEAL MORTENSEN

Yes. This is a common problem amongst adults who had braces when they were young but have experienced relapse (or crowding) as time has passed. Usually the crowding is minor, often involving the upper or lower front teeth. The patient would like to correct this minor crowding but is not willing to go through the whole “braces” thing again. The good news is these patients are perfect candidates for Invisalign. Invisalign is an invisible tray system that straightens teeth and can’t be seen. It is cost effective and can often straighten these minor crowding problems in a very short time. Consults at our office for Invisalign are free so if you are interested in finding out if you are a candidate give us a call and book an appointment! We also accept most insurance plans directly!

MIKE McGRAW

Today’s cars are built lighter for better handling and fuel economy, Unfortunately, the road construction we encounter every day takes it’s toll on our cars. Every pothole or raised culvert does reduce the life of our suspension and tires. We have seen a dramatic increase in suspension wear in the last 2 years, which drastically reduces your tire life.

Yes they are. Floors such as Aqua One, with a densified foam (not fibre board) composite core, are 100% waterproof. They come in beautiful wood plank designs, with or without bevelled edges, and can be “clicked” together for installation (with or without an underlay foam). They can be installed on, above, or below grade and are easy to clean.

Although you can apply for a meter at any time, August and September are good months to do so. Since the application process usually takes six to eight weeks, (and longer in some cases) applying “early” means that you can benefit from lower fuel costs throughout the entire heating season. It is important to speak to a natural gas heating contractor about the equipment change-out to determine a suitable meter location.

They can assist you in filling out and submitting the application to the utility. Some additional charges may apply.

Spruce up outdoor space before hosting guests How to prep your patio to ensure your party is a success Beautiful summer nights make for great opportunities to invite some friends over for a starry soiree under the nighttime sky. Unlike house parties, at which guests will be spending most of their time indoors and in various rooms throughout the house, outdoor parties are often limited to smaller areas, such as patios and backyards. This can make things much less taxing on hosts, who won’t have much prep work to do to get an outdoor hosting area ready for party guests.

But even an impromptu party requires planning and a little elbow grease before guests arrive. The following are a few areas to address before guests arrive for your next outdoor get-together.

Clear away debris The walkways and patio may not need too much attention, but give them a once-over with a broom to clear any debris. When clearing the patio of debris, move all furniture, making sure to sweep up any debris, including food, that might have fallen beneath tables and chairs since your most recent party,

or “al fresco” dinner. If the patio is especially dirty, consider power washing it to remove stubborn stains that can rob the area of its aesthetic appeal.

Clean the furniture Whether it’s been months since your last party on the patio or just a few days, the furniture must be cleaned. Unless items have been stored in a garage or shed, patio furnishings are exposed to the elements, and that means dirt, soil, soot or pollen may have accumulated on the furniture. Wipe down all cushions, using a mild detergent when necessary. Cushions may need some time to dry, so make this one of your first tasks, and leave cushions out in the sun so they dry more quickly. Once the cushions have been cleaned, wipe down the furniture with a wet towel to clear them of any dirt or debris.

Clean and inspect the grill The grill is a go-to accessory when hosting an outdoor party, so give the grill a thorough cleaning before the first guests arrive. Nothing brings a party to

a halt like hunger, and guests may begin to grow antsy if they are not served food in a reasonable amount of time.

If you are using a propane grill, check to make sure the tanks are full as you clean the grill. Running out of propane is a summer soiree faux pas, so you might want to keep an extra tank handy just to be safe.

Clear the entryway to your home Your guests will likely be using the same entryway over and over again during the party, so focus on cleaning this entryway so guests don’t trip or have to jump over toys on their way to an indoor restroom. Once the entryway has been cleared of potential tripping hazards, make sure the indoor path to the restroom is clear as well.

Hosting guests for an outdoor gettogether is one of the highlights of the summer, as the good weather doesn’t always last. A little bit of prep work will leave your guests impressed with your outdoor space.

Shake up summer entertaining with theme parties Perhaps no season is better for entertaining than summer. Summer allows hosts and their guests to spill out into the yard, which also allows for bigger parties. But backyard barbecues can quickly grow stale.

Individuals who frequently entertain can develop some fresh ideas when hosting crowds. Parties with a theme can put a new spin on festivities, turning a typical day in the yard into a party with a theme can make a party more fun. Hosts and hostesses who develop a theme often find that decorations, food ideas, music, and activities fall easily into place. Kids are not the only ones who can enjoy a theme party. Here are some ideas that fit with a wide variety of events.

Summer sports Infuse some sportsmanship into gatherings by giving your party a sports theme. Baseball may be the quintessential summer sport, but soccer, volleyball and tennis are ideal in the warm weather as well. When hosting a baseball party encourage guests to arrive in their favourite team jersey, which will spark conversation and good-natured rivalry between participants.

Foods served can be reminiscent of ballpark fare, including fries, pretzels, beer, hot dogs, and any other concession stand foods you can think of. Consider decorating cakes or cookies to look like baseballs or baseball mitts.

A highlight of the party can be separating into

teams and enjoying a pickup game of the event sport of choice. Turn the yard into a makeshift baseball diamond or set up a net and spike a few balls in a volleyball match. Those who do not want to play can sit on the sidelines and cheer their respective teams.

Castaway In 2000, moviegoers filled theatres to watch Tom Hanks survive on a remote tropical island in the movie “Castaway.” Although being shipwrecked alone on an island may not be the best way to have fun, playing on the theme of the film with a bunch of friends (and a volleyball names Wilson) can make for an entertaining party.

Whether using “Castaway” as your reference point or components of “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Survivor,” or even old episodes of “Gilligan’s Island,” encourage guests to dress the part in beachwear or tattered clothing.

Create the ambiance of a deserted island with sand, potted palm trees, torches, and the ocean (a pool will suffice). Beach sounds, such as crashing waves and seagulls, piped over outdoor speakers can complete the scene.

Guests can dine on fresh fish, fruit, coconuts, and other fare that may be harvested on an island. Everyone can take part building a bonfire (contained in a fire pit) or engaging in a scavenger hunt for island treasure. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

Musical flashback Music has helped shape popular culture for decades, and the songs of a particular era can spark memories of childhood or romances from summers past. Parties based around a musical theme can unite guests who share the same love of songs and grew up together in a particular era.

Choose a period that offers a wide mix of musical influences and styles that appeal to an array of guests. The 1960s, 1970s and 1980s produced many beloved musical acts and also spurred fashion choices that are nostalgic and kitschy. Let the soundtrack set the pace of the party, with guests getting up and dancing to favourite tunes or creat-

ing impromptu karaoke sessions.

Ask guests to dress up as popular musicians of the era. Now is the perfect time to pull those bellbottoms or lacy fingerless gloves out of storage boxes in the attic.

Give food and drink quirky names that tie into popular movies or songs of the decade. For example, serve “Breakfast Club Sandwiches” at a party with a 1980s theme.

Summer entertaining season is in full swing.

Breathe new life into run-of-the-mill barbecues by picking a theme for a party and getting creative.

Photography by Steve Somerville There was plenty of drama Wednesday at the CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Athletics Stadium, with everything leading up to the showpiece events of the Games: the 100-metre dashes. Two York Region residents had big nights, as Markham’s Andre De Grasse struck gold in the men’s 100m and Unionville’s Sarah Wells won silver in the women’s 400m hurdles. Background: Wells does a lap with the Canadian flag after her race. Clockwise from below: Jamaica’s Sherone Simpson talks to the media after her 100m victory; the crowd watches a race; nervous spectators look on; Medallists Ramon Gittens (silver) and Antoine Adams (bronze) congratulate De Grasse on his victory.

Men’s baseball Result: Gold Highlight: Making his first Pan Am Games appearance, Orr batted .353 and scored the winning run as Canada nipped the United States 7-6 in 10 innings in the final.

Quotable: “The best part is individual numbers don’t matter. The only thing that matters is if you win the game and the gold medal. Nothing matters but that result.”

Jason Burnett Nobleton Trampoline Result: Fourth Highlight: Bounced back from torn ACL sustained in fall last autumn to just miss the podium.

Queensville
