Most councillors underspent budgets; Beros spent maximum kzarzour@yrmg.com

Councillors, staff could see pay hikes

Richmond Hill’s mayor and six members of council left almost 30 per cent of their annual constituency budgets on the table last year.

All but one — Ward 1 Councillor Greg Beros — underspent their allocated budgets in 2015, according to a report on council and committee remuneration and expenses.

Each member of council is allocated an annual budget for constituency expenses, which is discretionary, but must comply with town policy.

They are also provided an allocation to attend conferences or seminars to further municipal knowledge, awareness or leadership skills.

The mayor’s budget is set at $14,500 and local

and regional councillors are allocated $10,800 each year.

Whatever is not spent is put into the town’s operating surplus.

The biggest spender last year was Beros, who reported exactly $10,800 in expenses, according to the report received recently by town council.

Ward 3 Councillor Castro Liu spent the least, at $6,243.

Beros also spent more than anyone else on council to attend conferences — $3,520 — while Liu spent the least at $31.52.

Members of council can use their allotted budget toward any conference they are inter-

ested in attending.

Liu, whose expenses came in $4,557 under budget, said he made an effort to keep costs to a minimum.

“Public funds used by members of council are to be used prudently.”

Beros, when asked how he was able to tally up an amount exactly equal to the budget, said, “I did not overspend my account”.

His attendance at conferences, (which exceeded that of the mayor and regional councillors), helps him help the taxpayer, he said.

“We all have different interests,” he said, pointing to his attendance at library conferences because he sits on the town’s library board and a See ‘REAL STORY’, page 3.

Pedalling funds for cyling paths apersico@yrmg.com

The province is pedalling forward with its Cycle On program – a 20-year vision to encourage cycling across the province.

York Region will receive $1.3 million in cycling infrastructure funding, which will be shared with Markham, Richmond Hill and Newmarket.

The announcement was made last week at Markham’s Summit Cycle bike shop, by Transportation minister Steven Del Duca.

“We want to make Ontario the place for cycling,” said Vaughan MPP Del Duca. “Cycling is a healthy, sustainable way to get around all of our communities.”

Minister Del Duca was flanked by citizenship, immigration and international trade minister Michael Chan of Markham, Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti and Richmond Hill Regional Councillor Brenda Hogg.

The investment will improve on-road cycling lanes, off-road cycling paths, cycling-specific traffic signals, walking and cycling bridges and bike racks.

Markham will construct three new bridges in Milne Dam Conservation Park and upgrade two kilometres of cycling and walking paths with its $325,000.

With the same amount of funding, Richmond Hill can expect a new 2.6 km north-south trail adjacent to Leslie Street, connecting residential and employment areas.

More than 5 km of on-road bike lanes will be built in Newmarket, providing cyclists an east-west route to the GO bus station near Yonge Street.

York Region will use its portion of $325,000 for constructing and improving a 3.7-km section of the

Lake to Lake path, a joint venture to connect Lake Ontario to Lake Simcoe.

There will also be a new pathway connection from Hwy. 7 in Markham to the existing East Don River cycling trail, creating a continuous route more than 40 km in length.

Richmond Hill’s new path along Leslie Street will also be part of the Lake to Lake trail system.

In total, the province is investing $10 million over the next two years in the Cycle On program.

Cycle On is a provincewide program aimed at improving the cycling route network, boosting cycling tourism and pinpointing needed cycling infrastructure, Del Duca said.

“More than three million Ontarians hop on their bike once a week,” he said. “The uptake for cycling is not only strong already, it’s growing.”

The province will also include cycling infrastructure early on in the construction phase of roads and bridges, he added.

This announcement goes hand-in-hand with the province’s regional express rail plan that will see 15-minute, all-day, two-way rail service along the Stouffville GO line, Mayor Scarpitti said.

“We have to utilize every piece of infrastructure and every mode of transportation to get people to where rapid transit is,” he said. “Today is about infrastructure ... mobility and sustainability.”

The Yonge subway extension is part of the province’s next wave of transportation plans, where a more regional approach is needed, Del Duca said.

“We all know congestion on our roads does not respect municipal boundaries or postal codes.

We all feel it,” he said. “We have to have a regional perspective when it comes to battling congestion on our roads.”

Ward 1 Councillor Greg Beros (left) and Mayor Dave Barrow air diverging opinions on council’s Engagement and Marketing Fund.

‘Real story’ engagement fund: Beros From page 1.

new library is being built in his ward.

Other conferences tap into his interest in technology and desire to move away from a paper-based system to one that is electronic, he said.

“The more educated a councillor is on a topic, the better he can articulate for residents,” Beros said.

“I don’t think enough councillors go to enough conferences. It only benefits the taxpayer.”

The “real story”, Beros said, is the $91,196.12 spent through the Council Engagement and Marketing Fund.

The fund pays for such items as sponsorships, rental permits and supplies and tickets for community events.

The fund became a contentious issue in the last municipal election, with mayoral candidates Carmine Perrelli and Sridhar Methuku and the Richmond Hill Watchdog organization referred to it as a “slush fund”.

The mayor has signing authority on that account, Beros said, and it went over budget by $6,896 in 2015.

Other members of council request payment from that account for events and costs relevant to their wards or constituency; Beros admits he has done that himself.

“But it’s the principle of the thing, good governance, a question of whether it’s kept under a certain amount or divided equally.”

The Engagement and Marketing Fund, which supports local community organizations that ask the town to sponsor activities and invite members of council to attend their fundraising events, did exceed the budget, Mayor Dave Barrow said, but many other accounts did not.

As a result, the overall mayor and council budget — set at $250,000 to cover

each councillor’s constituency accounts, memberships, Association of Municipalities of Ontario and Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference expenditures — was not overspent, Barrow said.

The actual amount spent in 2015 was approximately $211,000, he said.

Councillors, staff could see pay hikes Richmond Hill council will vote Monday on a proposed salary raise for the town’s employees and elected representatives.

At this week’s committee of the whole meeting, members of council gave their approval to go ahead with ratifying a settlement between the Town of Richmond Hill and the Salaried Employees Association, including an annual increase in salaries of 2 per cent retroactively, effective January 2015, and 1.3 per cent effective January 2016.

Non-unionized and administrative groups of employees including managers, directors and commissioners would get the same deal, as would members of council — as recommended by the citizen report on councillor remuneration.

The decision goes to a full council meeting Monday night for final approval.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Solving grocery list dilemma

Councillor was fear mongering

I

was listening to a radio show years ago, about people who get rich with million-dollar ideas.

It boiled down to coming up with something that filled a need, made people’s lives easier.

And I thought about a task where I struggled, one so challenging I sometimes wondered how I was even able to survive.

You guessed it.

Grocery shopping.

This was at a time when I had to do all the grocery shopping all by my lonesome and unfortunately I was one of those people who wandered the aisles on a bit of a scavenger hunt, list in hand that was a recycled envelope with a couple of words scribbled on it.

Sometimes I couldn’t even read it myself. “Does that say ketchup?

Catsup? Catnip? Wait, the cat died.

Must be carrots.”

It wasn’t until I was on my way home, or maybe in the process of cooking dinner, that I remembered that key item I forgot.

Not that I had not been thinking of it all week ... that one thing.

What the heck was it?

Oh ya! Taco sauce.

“Saturday Taco Night With Your Sons” is not going to be so swell without taco sauce, now is it, genius. Should have put it on the list, but I had that “grocery item mental block”, well known in the world of psychology (I’m making that up, but you know what I mean). That’s what stopped me from just writing it down.

Or else it’s because I am male.

Which is how I came up with my elaborate plan for — you guessed it — a website, mygroceryaccount.com, or something like that, which would do all the grocery list compiling for me.

I go shopping, swipe my “reward meals” card after I’m done and it records everything I have purchased.

After a couple of visits to the grocery store the website has a pretty good idea of what I purchase on a regular basis and is able to draw me up a list of what I likely want to buy.

Bought mayo two months ago?

“Check the fridge, you are probably running low.”

Buy chips every week? “This

Bernie O’Neill store has them on sale, with new, crazy flavours— guacamole and blue cheese! Use your points!”

I log in to my page on the website and print it out, or maybe it emails me my list, was my thinking. It was all very sophisticated, in terms of analytics and target marketing. (I see you nodding, ya, he’s on to something.)

Non-grocery advertisers could target us based on our purchases, since what’s in a grocery cart would say a lot about a person.

Did you buy one of those “star” magazines at the checkout that reveals the lives of the young and beautiful, their fashions, friends, exercise routines?

Why not take out a membership in the Liberal Party of Canada and follow JT’s latest exploits!

Did you buy steak, bacon and sausage again this week, for the fourth week in a row?

Perhaps you’d be interested in some life insurance!

Did you buy the Survival Guide to Parenting Problem Teens? Tylenol is on sale in our pharmacy section. And we now sell alcohol!

Of course, it was around this time people pointed out to me there were already grocery shopping apps for smartphones and, as usual, I was not the first person to think of this kind of thing.

Oh well. Need another milliondollar idea. Like a lottery ticket.

In the years since? People still wander the aisles with flyers in hand, lists written on envelopes, or just a general plan between their ears as they go on their weekly scavenger hunt. And they like it just fine like that.

Maybe we’re just hunters and gatherers at heart. And wanderers.

Or we’d rather our existence not be summed up by a computer generated grocery list.

I attended a Ward 2 meeting March 28 convened by Councillor Tom Muench and have a number of significant concerns.

The meeting was poorly publicized and I would have missed it had it not been for the kind efforts of another resident who alerted me. If this meeting was so important, greater effort could have been made to ensure residents were alerted.

The meeting was poorly moderated with no agenda and the councillor frequently “spoke over” residents who were trying to make points. At times the councillor’s manager/handler/ spouse appeared to be fielding and answering questions from attendees, which I found confusing as she had not been introduced nor her role explained.

A number of attendees were visibly very angry with the proceedings and lack of real answers.

Given the stated topic “revitalization of our downtown core,” other key stakeholders and other councillors should have been invited, as Ward 2 shares boundaries with other wards.

In fact Councillor Muench went to great efforts to invite at least four (by my count) investors/developers that he referred to as “expert planners”.

The bias was clear when these planners questioned the five-storey height cap on buildings in the downtown core.

There was also discussion and concern expressed over the issue of widening Centre Street and “taking people’s front lawns”.

One key problem was that Councillor Muench failed to invite town planners or experts who could have explained and addressed questions.

The town has an official plan and an amendment

that is guiding the revitalization and also proper forums for directing those efforts.

One other attendee pointed out that “the right people aren’t in the room.” I strongly agree with that comment.

There was also discussion on the heritage buildings program and its role in shaping development, during which Councillor Muench made some unsubstantiated statements concerning the solvency of the United Church at Center and Yonge.

The financial position of that church or any other is none of his business and his statements had no place in a public forum.

I interpret this as fear mongering and his challenge to the heritage program as a technique to eliminate “obstacles” for potential developers.

I appreciate the stated desire to solicit input from residents, however, I believe the concerns of residents were not the primary motivation for this meeting and the omission of other key stakeholders in Richmond Hill was by design.

Don’t knock on my door Re: Beware of hot water tank scams, letter by Gary Robinson, March 31.

It is for reasons like this that I do not answer my door.

I do not need to buy anything at my front door that people have to sell. I buy cookies and chocolate almonds at work.

When I feel the need to replace my hot water tank, or furnace, or windows or shingles, or have my landscaping done, I will do research online and choose the best company.

The Internet is a luxury that allows us to take all the time we need to make informed decisions about

SEND A LETTER: Email your letters to the editor to mbeck@yrmg.com JOIN CONVERSATION: Be the first to comment at yorkregion.com what we purchase and from who.

So don’t bother knocking on my door.

There is little chance my neighbours need a cup of sugar. My friends and family would never come over unannounced.

I wasn’t always like this.

I used to answer my door.

I had the same hot water guy try and bust into my front foyer. I had the guy promising a greener lawn; a water-tight driveway; the person trying to make me feel guilty for not donating away all my hard-earned money.

I had enough of it. So I don’t answer my door.

And by the way, I don’t answer my home phone either.

Andrew Longwell Richmond Hill

Thanks for radio read Re: Radio? I like the sound of that, column by Bernie O’Neill, March 24.

Thank you for printing this column. In a world that is complicated and filled with every gadget you can imagine, it was refreshing to read about the simplicity of the radio.

I, too, have a kitchen radio and enjoy it very much.

It’s good to know I am not alone or “outdated”.

Thanks for a pleasant read.

Court date set for Beros’ appeal of election expenses audit Berlis against the committee’s decision.

He is asking a judge to determine whether the decision of the audit committee is valid.

The matter will be heard Wednesday, May 18 at the Ontario Court of Justice in Toronto.

Oak Ridges resident Kristi Kanitz brought the application for an audit forward.

In her submission, Kanitz said Beros mailed a campaign-style newsletter to almost 12,000 addresses in Ward 1 and billed the town. Town policy provided for a “blackout period” beginning Sept.

11, 2014, after which candidates are not

By KIM ZARZOUR

lzarzour@yrmg.com

A court date has been set for next month for Councillor Greg Beros to appeal a decision to audit his 2014 election expenses.

The Joint Compliance Audit Committee ruled last July that Beros’ campaign finances should be investigated, as he may have breached the Municipal Act when he used public funds to mail a flyer during a time period when candidates were forbidden to do so.

The Ward 1 councillor had filed notice of appeal via Bay Street legal firm Aird &

permitted to use town resources to send out newsletters to their constituents.

However, documents presented at the audit hearing showed Beros delivered the piece of literature to Canada Post after that cut-off date.

The three-person committee voted unanimously to give the go-ahead to an investigation.

Beros is the first Richmond Hill politician to have campaign expenses brought before the Joint Compliance Audit Committee.

The committee is shared by all municipalities in York Region, except Markham.

Man, 79, faces charges from fatal crash A 79-year-old man faces a serious charge stemming from a fatal vehicle collision last November.

A 76-year-old Richmond Hill woman succumbed in hospital to life-threatening injuries sustained at the scene.

Just before 1:50 p.m. Nov. 9, 2015, a 2002 Buick LeSabre lost control in the parking lot of the Dufferin Clark Community Centre, 1441 Clark Ave. W., Vaughan, colliding with several parked vehicles.

The 76-year-old woman was a passenger in the LeSabre.

The driver and another passenger, an 82-year-old Richmond Hill woman, were

not injured.

Following a lengthy investigation, the York Regional Police major collision investigation Unit charged the driver.

Joseph Thevarkunnel, 79, of Richmond Hill, is charged with criminal negligence causing death.

He is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Newmarket April 21.

Anyone who may have seen the incident who has not yet spoken to police is asked to contact police at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7704, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800222-TIPS.

BRIEFS Richmond Hill men charged in Toronto death Four men, including two from Richmond Hill, have been charged with first-degree murder in a 2014 killing of a man at a Toronto Community Housing building.

Toronto police say the charges arose from Dec. 3, 2014 when Wasfi Ghalban, 47, a tattoo shop owner, was found with significant signs of trauma in his second-floor apartment on Wellsley Street East, in St. James Town.

Investigators later called the attack “targeted”.

Richmond Hill’s Christopher Fuller, 33, and Lance Burkhard, 33, were arrested and charged March 30.

They were charged alongside Philip Frauts, 40, and Kyle Schindermann, 31, both from Toronto.

“We’re satisfied at this point that robbery was certainly a motive for this attack,” said Det-Sgt. Mike Carbone back in 2015.

York police are searching a man allegedly involved in a gas station robbery in Richmond Hill early Saturday morning.

The robbery occurred shortly before 6 a.m., in the area of Bayview Avenue and Major Mackenzie Drive East.

A lone male suspect entered the gas station, put a note on the counter and lifted his shirt in a way that led the employee to believe he was carrying a weapon.

The employee, fearing for his safety, ran out of the gas station leaving the suspect alone.

A short time later, the suspect exited the gas station and fled. The employee was not injured.

Responding officers searched the area, but were unable to locate the suspect.

The suspect is described as: Male 20 to 25 years; 5’5” to 5’7,” having a thin build.

He was wearing a white baseball cap, a white, hooded sweatshirt, black cloth covering his face, baggy blue jeans, red gloves, white running shoes and carrying a black backpack.

The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information should call York Regional Police’s hold-up unit at 1-866-876-5423 ext. 6631 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS.

Student served as Queen’s Park Page Richmond Hill student Laura de Souza recently completed a fourweek term of duty as a Legislative Page at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

The St. Charles Garnier Catholic Elementary School student finished her term at Queen’s Park on March 10, along with 20 other grade 7 and 8 pages from across the province.

While the House was in session, De Souza and fellow pages ran various errands,

delivering messages on the floor of the chamber or fetching water for the MPPs. Throughout the day, students took classes on legislative process and mathematics, and met with key legislative players, such as the party leaders and the Speaker of the House.

De Souza is an active member in her school,

involved with the Eco Club, Luke 4:18, the Art Club, and is one of two school photographers.

She is a piano student at the Yamaha Music School and attended a We Day event in the past school year.

To become part of the page program, students are required to have an academic average of 80 per cent or higher, an interest in current affairs and the ability to memorize the faces, names and locations of all 107 MPPs. - Jonalyn Aguilar

In many older homes, electrical hazards are lurking behind the walls.

Your home may give you some warning signs: • Lights that flicker or dim • Breakers that trip – fuses that blow

• Plugs that fit loosely into receptacles • Lights bulbs that burn out sooner than expected

Electrical hazards are linked to thousands of catastrophic home fires every year, yet they are 100% preventable.

Safe Driving Tips for Seniors

Similar to choosing between contact lenses or glasses, you can decide with your hearing professional which hearing aid style would best suit you. Both styles have approximately the same performance and functions, but are fitted to the ear differently.

It’s almost a shame this technology isn’t more visible!

Open-fit and IIC hearing aids are smaller and more sophisticated than ever, striking the perfect balance between size and performance. The elegant and highly discreet open-fit hearing aid fits perfectly on top of your ear, and the thin tube in your ear canal is designed to disappear against your skin. The new IIC hearing aid–now with wireless technology–provides all of the outstanding features and benefits you want in a digital hearing aid, minus the stigma that came with wearing one in the past.

Due to overwhelming demand, we’ve extended the selection process until April 29, 2016!

The Town of Richmond Hill has changed the names — but not the content — of two summer day camps that sparked controversy last week.

The Boyz Rule camp will now be called Extreme Sports and the Girlz Rock camp is renamed Kidz Rock in response to criticism lobbed from near and far that the original camp names reinforced gender stereotypes.

Town spokesperson Meeta Gandhi said the camps have been offered for the past eight years because parents and children want them.

In descriptions offered in the town’s Summer Camp brochure, Boyz Rule offered ultimate Frisbee, dodgeball, biking and lacrosse, while Girlz Rock featured activities such as scrapbooking, baking and pedicures. Both offered swimming.

“The title is not what draws people to the course. The content does,” Gandhi said.

“People are drawn to interests they have and for these camps, the demand is there.”

‘REINFORCES GENDER NORMS’ Registration has always been open to girls and boys, she said, but she is unaware of any campers who opted to attend one that is not their gender.

Critics weighed in on social media last week, charging that the camps were sexist and limited kids’ options.

“The problem with the program is that it

basically reinforces gender norms onto the kids,” said Ali Taghva on Facebook. “The two different camps are basically extremely gendered.”

“I don’t think there’s a problem with making an all-boys or all-girls camp. It’s just that the activity descriptions are stupid,” said Nicole Sieber on social media. “What about girls who want to go skateboarding and biking?”

Others wondered what the fuss was about.

‘GET A LIFE!’ “Stupidity at its highest point,” posted Ian Johnston on Friday. “Get a life people! More backlash on this subject than there is with people running over people driving their cars and on their phones and texting ... Is this some kind of April Fool’s joke?”

The summer camps are among 80 offered by the town that attract about 10,000 Richmond Hill children each summer.

So far, 40 children have signed on for the two Rock and Rule camps – “and we are nowhere near summer, so they remain popular,” Gandhi said.

Contrary to media reports, the camp descriptions have been on the town’s website since Christmas, she said.

“Someone came across it and it got some attention on the Twitterverse and a lot of it was from outside the community, not Richmond Hill.”

If demand changes, the town will re-evaluate, as it does with any other camp, she said.

You need to be aware of effective advancements that can eliminate years of pain, suffering, immobility and frustration.

Your doctor may have diagnosed you with one of the above listed ailments. You may find that your symptoms from the above conditions affects your work, housekeeping, leisure activities, exercise, sports or other activities. You go to the drug store or to your doctor and get pills to help relieve your pain and suffering, but you find the pain and symptoms keep returning. Alternatively, the doctor may refer you to a specialist who may tell you that surgery is needed or is an option for you.

However, many people are hesitant to have surgery given its invasive nature. It is important to know that although surgery is sometimes necessary, it is considered a last resort in most cases.

Also, you may have heard that there are serious health risks associated with chronic use (or overuse) of pain pills or anti-inflammatory drugs that include damage to the liver, kidneys and gut.

There is a new, natural, safe and highly effective approach that has helped many sufferers improve their lives dramatically: Laser therapy uses light to favor and accelerate the body’s natural healing processes. The innovative Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Laser produces a safe, efficient and simultaneous effect on pain, inflammation, swelling and water retention, exceeding the limits of traditional LLLT (Low power) and concerns of HP (High power) laser therapy.

What does this mean for you?

Our patients have reported a 90-95% relief of their symptoms, more mobility, increased flexibility and vastly improved function!

It is the very latest in medical technology, with years of clinical studies supporting its safety and efficacy and we are very proud to offer our patients effective solutions to their recent or chronic conditions.

“This new, natural, safe and highly effective approach has helped many sufferers improve their lives dramatically”.
