Arrests made in residential break-in spree

BY JEREMY GRIMALDI

jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

It was only last year when York Regional Police arrested Maurice Beckles of Brampton for breaking into homes in the region and stealing thousands worth of goods.

He was convicted and spent about three months in jail.

In April this year, police discovered another break and enter trend in Richmond Hill, Markham and Vaughan, where high-end homes were being targeted.

After spending about three months investigating the situation, between April and July, police say they discovered that Beckles was

involved again.

It was on July 21 when police moved in for another arrest, after officers claim he and his alleged gang — GMC, Get Money Commission — were in Toronto pawning jewelry stolen from York homes.

The way the alleged group worked was simple enough: they would knock on doors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when most people were at work.

If they received no response, they would pry or simply shoulder open the front door.

Police said the men then went straight to the master bedroom, where they would plunder jewelry and even safes, which they would simply

bring back to their base and break open.

In all, about 38 homes were burgled, with many also happening in Toronto, south Simcoe, Mississauga and Brampton, where several of the accused live.

Police believe the number of victims is much higher and are asking people to contact them to report incidents and help find owners for the recovered goods.

Car rental vehicles with stolen licence plates were used in the break-ins, with the thieves escaping via Hwy. 407 afterwards, investigators said during a press conference.

Even though public high school and Catholic English elementary and secondary teachers have reached tentative settlements in the last week, David Clegg isn’t sure whether or not to be optimistic.

Clegg is the York Region president of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, which has yet to reach a deal with the provincial government.

The next date for bargaining is Sept. 1.

In the meantime, the union has announced it is ramping up its work-to-campaign.

Although teachers will participate in extracurricular activities, they won’t take part in field trips, “meet the teacher” nights, collect money for school-related activities, participate in fundraisers, email principals and vice-principals outside school hours unless there is a safety issue and collect or distribute school or board paperwork to students.

Although the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation reached a tentative deal Aug. 20 and the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association came to a tentative settlement Tuesday, Clegg said the chances of public elementary teachers reaching an agreement remain up in the air.

Without seeing the details of the tentative deals, it’s difficult to speculate if the public elementary teachers can reach their own agreement, he said.

“Without knowing the specific details of the tentative deal with OSSTF, it is difficult to comment on how it may or may not improve ETFO chances of reaching a settlement,” Clegg said.

“If it is a ‘net zero’” outcome as the government would have the public believe, the question needs to be answered what was given up to achieve a less than the rate of inflation wage increase. The prospect of a provincial benefit plan would not be good for ETFO members in York Region.”

Clegg slammed the government

Tastes of The Hill? ... delicious PH OTO G RAPHY BY NICK IWANYSHYN

The weather was perfect Sunday for the annual food and culture extravaganza at Richmond Green, known as Tastes of The Hill. Hollie (top, left) and Livia Zhang enjoy cool and colourful popsicles, while Alamdar-Ali Abidi competes in a watermelon-eating competition.

for creating tensions with teachers’ unions that led to job action over the past several months, only to begin putting fires out on the eve of a new school year.

“It does suggest that the Wynne Liberal government has changed its outlook on bargaining in the education sector and has chosen to muzzle OPSBA (the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association),” he said. “It appears clearer now that the failures of last spring fall at the feet of OPSBA and the Wynne Liberals for allowing OPSBA to make demands that provoked job action.”

Meanwhile, tensions remain high for the union representing 55,000 education workers, such as educational assistants, office administrators, custodians, early childhood educators, library technicians, speech pathologists and others, according to Elena Di Nardo, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 2331 in York Region.

“CUPE is nowhere close (to a deal). It (reaching tentative deals with teachers’ unions) doesn’t make any difference, I don’t think, because teachers are completely different and separate from CUPE members. We’re just hoping that now they have settled with some employee groups, they are going to dedicate more time to school support workers,” she said.

“The province does want this all (labour strife with teachers and education workers) off their plate.

They want school to start in September with no disruptions, but it all depends on what happens at the bargaining table.”

Although the union is in a legal strike position during the first week of school, bargaining has been scheduled for Sept. 20 and 21.

The York public board is relieved high school teachers have reached a deal at the provincial level and continues to bargain at the local level with employee groups, spokesperson Licinio Miguelo said.

“We continue to have a good working relationship with all our employee groups,” he said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Here’s what you can do to encourage voter turnout

Everyone should be proud of neighborhood

A

s a journalist and as a civic-minded Canadian, one of my big fears concerning this Canadian election is that voter apathy will plummet even lower than it was for the last federal election.

Like most of you, I haven’t read every clause in the Harper Government’s Fair Elections Act. But from the news stories and opinion columns I have read, I understand that it is no longer Elections Canada’s mandate to encourage voter turnout.

The Globe and Mail warned: “The Conservative government is stripping Elections Canada of its authority to encourage Canadians to vote in federal ballots under changes to the agency’s mandate.”

BC journalist, Andrew Nikiforuk, wrote that the Fair Elections Act “bans Elections Canada from educating the public about their civic duties or low voter turnout”.

That worries me — no, actually, that alarms and angers me.

For my entire career as a journalist — and especially as an editor — I have believed it is my/our civic, patriotic duty to encourage people to find out about the issues, get to know their local candidates and — most importantly — mark their ballots on election day.

According to Elections Canada, only 61 per cent of eligible voters turned out in May 2011. The three previous federal elections, turnout ranged from a low of 59 per cent to a higher 65 per cent.

Am I dreaming of Utopia or Neverland to think Canada should be hitting 75 per cent voter turnout, at least, which is what we achieved back in the 1960s and 1970s?

Why should you care? What does all this have to do with you, you may be wondering?

There are 10 ridings in York Region. There are eight weeks left until Oct. 19 voting day.

Let’s make sure there is at minimum one all-candidates event in each of those 10 ridings or, preferrably, two or three.

Marney Beck If we allow voter apathy to worsen — then the party that wins will have more power and less legitimacy, if fewer Canadians bother to mark their ballots.

That does not benefit Canada and it sure does not improve democracy.

If you haven’t heard about an all-candidates meeting in your riding, there’s still time to encourage community organizations to organize one.

Call your chamber of commerce, board of trade, or service clubs. Often, ratepayer groups work together in a community to find a location and stage a debate or meet and greet. Villanova College is presenting one such event in the King-Vaughan riding.

York Region Media Group newsrooms are willing partners. Already we have helped organize allcandidates events in Aurora-Oak Ridges-Richmond Hill, MarkhamSouffville and the Richmond Hill ridings, with more to come.

If you know of such a candidate event in your community, let us know, so we can share that news.

And as reaching out to the younger generation is so important, share this news via social media and, better yet, plan to attend the candidate event in your riding and insist your adult children accompany you.

Robocalls, attack ads and unfair election regulations serve to turn off many voters. If you care about Canada and the state of our democracy, you can help reverse the lethargy and apathy.

Re: Complaint forcing Vetmobile off driveway, July 23.

Although the vet in question is full of good intentions being ready to roll her vetmobile at a moment’s notice by having it parked in her driveway, I felt a strong need to comment.

Did she assume before she bought and decorated this vehicle that neighbours would be on board with it?

Did she think to ask anyone other than her immediate neighbours?

I am a longterm resident of the Hill, however, I am not familiar with the vet or her neighbourhood. But how inviting would any neighbourhood be if every driveway had a big truck with signage emblazoned on it?

If we allow one, we must allow all.

If this happened in my neighbourhood, I would be really ticked. I haven’t even touched on fairness regarding taxation based on commercial/business use.

I am not opposed to anyone working from home.

I am not opposed to any vehicle, car, SUV or small minivan with a door sign

advertising a home-based business. People also occasionally have to bring their business vehicles home overnight.

Until recently there was a chap living next door to me who ran a business from his home and had two Smart cars. They were small and the logo was discreet and tasteful.

I never complained and I don’t think anyone else did.

We did, however, complain when he posted a lawn sign advertising his business.

Sorry, but if that Vetmobile were parked near my house every night and day I would complain, too.

As for Councillor Tom Muench’s published remark about a police state — how ridiculous. Does he also want to repeal other bylaws? There is a process for requesting change that we all must abide by — that is the democratic process.

As for Mr. Muench calling the neighbour “mean spirited” because they don’t want to see the Vetmobile daily, I feel that is unprofessional. It is every taxpayer’s right to live in a neighbourhood they enjoy and feel proud of.

I wish Ms Winslow the very best with her business.

SEND A LETTER: Email letters to mbeck@yrmg.com JOIN CONVERSATION: Be the first to comment at yorkregion.com I also wish for her neighbours a view that does not offend them.

C. Murray Richmond Hill

Skateboarders should respect signs I think Richmond Hill skateboarders should be going to summer school to learn how to read.

Also, their parents should impress upon them that when condos post private property signs prohibiting skateboarding, they should obey and not aggravate the residents.

Would it be okay for the residents to invade their backyards and disturb the peace? I think not.

participated in public consultation in 2012 through public meetings and a survey. The input determined the direction of the project: a realistic, traditional representation of Terry Fox. That direction becomes reality on Sept. 12, with the unveiling of the Terry Fox Tribute and a community celebration on Yonge Street from 2 to 4 p.m.

We know you lead busy lives and might not have time to come to every meeting or participate in every survey, but you can learn more about important projects and matters being considered via our livestream council meetings. Just visit the Meetings page on RichmondHill.ca to watch live or previously recorded meetings.

Our goal is to be open, accessible and transparent when making decisions that matter to you. All our agendas, meeting minutes and staff reports are available on our website.

You can register with the clerk’s office to be notified of matters of interest to you. You can register to speak as a delegation at a council meeting, too.

Council and Committee of the Whole, made up of all council members, meet every other week. Our first committee meeting this fall is Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 4:30 p.m. and the first council meeting is Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 7:30 p.m. We also invite you to engage with us via social media.

Our staff monitor our Twitter and Facebook accounts and share information and answer your questions.

Join the conversation at Facebook.com/myrichmondhill and on Twitter at @myRichmondHill.

Richmond Hill is your community. We encourage you to get involved and tell us what you think!

Have you ever wondered what happens to your input when you participate in a public survey, share your thoughts with council or email a member of staff?

We know that every resident matters and every opinion is relevant. We take your feedback very seriously; that’s why we spend so much time promoting resident participation.

Public input helps shape the direction of some projects and in other cases it spurs council to carefully consider issues and ask staff to provide more information. Your input is an important part of building Richmond Hill.

We actively seek out your opinion using a variety of means, from dropin information sessions at the mall to talk about the annual operating budget to public consultations regarding the development of new parks.

Some larger, planned projects such as master plans and feasibility studies include multiple public consultations.

A good example of how your input matters is the David Dunlap Observatory master plan, which we are working on now. The plan will determine what Richmond Hill’s DDO property will offer in the future.

So far, staff have engaged residents at two different stages of the project, with public workshops, surveys and on-site consultations at the Central Library and McConaghy Seniors Centre.

First, we wanted your thoughts and ideas on what could be included in the plan for the DDO property. We then took those ideas and combined them with our own ideas to create a draft plan — called the DDO Principles and Options Report. Then we went back to residents for feedback on which of two options should be chosen.

You can read that report online at RichmondHill.ca/ DDO. The upcoming Terry Fox Tribute is another great example of community input shaping a project.

Province provides age-friendly funding in York Region On Aug. 9, I hosted my eighth annual Community Barbecue at the Markham Museum. As in previous years, it featured community booths from local organizations such as, the Markham Public Library and the Markham Arts Council.

There was entertainment by very talented performers. Lisa LoMagno, a volunteer in my constituency office, started the barbecue off by singing our national anthem. Other performers included Carol C Dance, Stouffville Academy of Music and Dance, the Federation of Chinese Canadians in Markham, L’Arche

MPP Helena Jaczek Oak Ridges-Markham Daybreak’s The Spirit Movers, Phoenix Arts Academy and the Lindance Cultural Communication.

A big thank you goes out to the wonderful Allan Bell, from the Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation, for being MC, as well as all of our volunteers who helped make this year’s event a great success. We couldn’t have done it without you.

On Aug. 11, I was in WhitchurchStouffville at a WS YOU 177 event announcing a $35,000 grant from the Ontario government to study age-friendly community planning.

With this funding, WS YOU 177 will be utilizing the World Health Organization’s eight dimensions for age-friendly communities — public

buildings, housing, transportation, community support, civic participation, communication, social participation as well as social inclusion and will undertake a communitywide consultation to better understand the needs of local seniors.

On Aug. 17, I was happy to announce that our government is providing $42,737 to the Active Seniors – Living Legacy Program through the Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund.

This investment will deliver fitness classes, healthy lifestyle workshops and travel outings to seniors in the

Township of King. Enabling people in communities across Ontario to lead healthy, active lives is part of the government’s plan.

Another investment our government recently made is $107,657 for infrastructure upgrades to Markham Stouffville Hospital. This will ensure residents continue to receive high quality care in a high quality facility.

I can’t believe summer has almost come to an end. I hope you have all enjoyed it as much as I have.

Benedict was to appear in a Newmarket court the same day as the arrest, Aug. 19.

“York Regional Police is committed to protecting our children,” said Chief Eric Jolliffe.

“We continue to make aggressive efforts in joint-forces investigations to identify and arrest anyone participating in the victimization and the re-victimization of young children through sharing of childpornography material.”

If you or someone you know has been a victim of child exploitation you are urged to report it to your local police service as well as cybertip.ca.

Cybertip.ca is an easy-to-use online reporting site which allows citizens to report concerns about the online sexual exploitation of children. The material is loaded to a national database where it can be classified and then investigated by the appropriate police service.

Cybertip.ca also provides tips on being safe online for children and parents.

You can also find safety tips on our website at www.yrp.ca under Crime Prevention.

Investigators with theYork Regional Police Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit have charged a 32-yearold man from Richmond Hill with child pornography-related offences.

Investigators with the York Regional Police ICE Unit began an investigation in May 2015, into videos of child pornography that were being shared online from a residence in Richmond Hill.

The videos involved the sexual assault and exploitation of young children by adult men.

On Aug. 19, a search warrant was executed at a Richmond Hill home where a man was arrested.

The victims shown in the videos have not been identified. Investigators continue to work with the Provincial Strategy to Protect Children from Sexual Abuse and Exploitation on the Internet, other police agencies and the National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre (NCECC) to locate and assist victims of child exploitation.

Jassen Benedict, 32, has been charged with: making child pornography available, accessing child pornography and possession of child pornography.

30 PEOPLE WITH HEARING LOSS Qualified Participants Needed for Technology Field Test

During this Limited-Time event, we are looking for people like you, who may be experiencing varying levels of hearing loss to evaluate a remarkable new line of digital hearing aids and a rehabilitative process that could be the solution to your difficulties.

Call us toll-free today at one of the numbers below to see if you qualify for this Field Test. Potential candidates will be given a FREE hearing test to determine candidacy.

Participants will be given a FREE in-office demonstration, and the opportunity to evaluate the latest, most advanced hearing aid technology for 30 days at drastically reduced rates. A refund* is available at the end of the test period if you feel your test aids do not improve your hearing.

A full range of sizes are available in this new technology, including the exceptionally disscreet and re t open-fit op IIC models shown here:

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.

THANK YOU!

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

Open-fit and Invisible-In-the-Canal (IIC) hearing aids are smaller and more beautiful 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.

WN NSEE SSIO

CALL NOW - Candidates are being selected.

The selection process for this test period will end September 30, 2015.

BACK TO SCHOOL GENEROSITY

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT AND PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDY FOR THE LESLIE ELGIN DEVELOPMENT LANDS STREET ‘BB’ WATER CROSSING

The summertime Salvation Army backpack and school supplies drive has been going well, with many generous donations contributed by people who learned about the campaign through The Liberal. At the Salvation Army offices at 55 Newkirck Rd., Margaret McCleary (from left), community services rep Mary Halbert and Emma Anderson show off some of the backto-school items. The final push to help needy children in local families continues until Friday, Sept.

4. For details, contact Mary Halbert at 905737-0496 ext. 114 or email mary.halbert@ rhcconline.ca

The Study Leslie Elgin Developments Inc. has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment for a water crossing to connect Street ‘BB’ to John Birchall Road/future Street ‘A’ near the intersection of Leslie Street and Elgin Mills Road East in the Town of Richmond Hill. The approximate limits of the project study area are illustrated on the enclosed map.

Street ‘BB’ is classified as a minor collector road within the Leslie Elgin Development Lands. Its connection to John Birchall Road/future Street ‘A’ provides a necessary second outlet (southwest corner) from the proposed subdivision and will alleviate traffic congestion along Leslie Street by promoting southern egress to Elgin Mills Road East.

The study will evaluate water crossing alignment alternatives to accommodate subdivision egress requirements and future traffic demands.

The Process The study is being conducted in accordance with the approved requirements for a Schedule “B” project as described in the Municipal Engineers Association’s Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) document (October 2000, as amended in 2007 & 2011). The Class EA process will include public review and agency consultation, an evaluation of alternatives and selection of the preferred solution taking into account public and agency input.

STAFF PHOTO/MIKE BARRETT

Public Consultation Public consultation is an important component of the EA process. The project team will be hosting a Public Information Centre (PIC) on the project to present engineering and environmental information from the study, including existing conditions, an evaluation of alternatives and a recommended solution, while engaging residents and stakeholders regarding key issues. All interested individuals are encouraged to attend. Upon completion of the study, a Project File Report will be submitted to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change and made available for public review for a period of 30 days. Subject to comments received and the receipt of necessary approvals, Leslie Elgin Developments Inc. intends to proceed with the detailed design and construction of this project.

The Public Information Centre will be held on: September 1, 2015 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Rouge Woods Community Centre 110 Shirley Drive, Richmond Hill (Room - Aspen A) The PIC will consist of an informal drop-in session for attendees to review project information and ask questions. Written comments are also invited for further consideration and for incorporation into the project record. If you wish to receive further information about this project, submit a comment or be added to the mailing list, please contact either of the following individuals: Mr. John Chadwick, P.Geo.

Two all-candidate events set for Richmond Hill voters Voters in both Richmond Hill ridings will have an opportunity to meet their federal candidates at two separate all-candidates events oranized for September.

The first candidate event, for the new Aurora-Oak Ridges-Richmond Hill riding, will take place Thursday, Sept. 24 at Dr. G. W. Williams Secondary School, 39 Dunning Ave., in Aurora.

It is presented by a group of organizations: the Aurora Chamber of Commerce, the Richmond Hill Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club of Richmond Hill, Aurora Banner and Richmond Hill Liberal newspapers, OnRichmondhill.com, and the Richmond Hill Markham Chinese Business Association.

The free event starts at 6:30 p.m. with a less formal meet and greet,

CANADA Decision 2015 where voters can meet and chat with the candidates.

At 7 p.m. the moderated question period begins, with representatives from presenting organizations asking questions of the candidates on party policy, local platforms and national issues.

Participating candidates include Liberal Party candidate Leona Alleslev; Conservative candidate Costas Menegakis; and NDP candidate

Brenda Power. To date there is no Green candidate confirmed.

The same participating organizations will present a similar format all-candidates event Tuesday, Sept.

29 for the Richmond Hill riding candidates.

The meet and greet starts at 6:30 p.m., followed by moderated question period at 7 p.m. at Langstaff Community Centre, 155 Red Maple Rd., at Bantry.

Three confirmed candidates have been invited to participate: Adam Devita for the NDP; Majid Jowhari for The Liberals; and Michael Parsa for the Conservatives. To date no Green candidate is confirmed.

SEND YOUR QUESTIONS We want your questions for the

candidates. If you have a specific question for just one candidate or a general question for all candidates

in your riding to answer, email it to Editor Marney Beck at mbeck@ yrmg.com

Liberal candidates hold roundtable on veterans

rent Liberal candidate for MarkhamThornhill John McCallum and fellow Liberal candidates Deb Schulte for King-Vaughan, Kyle Peterson for Newmarket-Aurora, and Francesco Sorbarafor Vaughan-Woodbridge.

“A new Liberal government would honour our sacred duty to serve those individuals who have served our country in uniform,” she told the small crowd that gathered to participate in the discussion.

Earlier in the week, she stood alongside Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau in Bellville to announce the party’s plans to support veterans if elected come October.

BY TERESA LATCHFORD

tlatchford@yrmg.com

No veteran should have to fight their own government to get the support they need after returning from serving their country.

Aurora-Oak Ridges-Richmond Hill federal Liberal candidate Leona Alleslev led with that statement during yesterday’s Veterans’ Affairs roundtable discussion she hosted at the Aurora Cultural Centre.

Joining her on the panel were former minister of defence and cur-

Winners Carmen Guerra and Mason Pourlotfi of Richmond Hill (right) were thrilled to accept the keys to their new Micra from General Manager Robert Brown. The contest continues for the rest of 2015 and you can find out how to be a winner yourself.

Two more Micra vehicles presented to happy customers The Alta Group has given away two more Nissan Micras to excited customers during their Micra Giveaway event.

On Monday at Maple Nissan, a Richmond Hill family and a Brampton woman were each presented the keys to a brand new Micra, along with flowers and celebration cake.

The Alta Group represents four York Region dealerships: Alta Nissan Richmond Hill, Maple Nissan

and Alta Nissan Woodbridge in Vaughan and Stouffville Nissan.

Proud recipients of the 2015 award of excellence for customer service and sales, the company is giving away two 2015 Nissan Micras each month.

In July, the draw for the first two Micras was held, and Daphne Lepaine and Sleem Feroze drove away in their brand new vehicles on July 22.

The giveaway continued this

month, with Carmen Guerra and Mason Pourlotfi of Richmond Hill being presented with their new Micra, along with happy Rogue driver, Elaine Minitillo of Brampton.

The Micra Giveaway Contest will continue for the rest of 2015; if you would like more details on how to be a part of this contest, visit www.altagroup.ca or visit any of the four dealership locations.

Gang members wore medallions From page 1.

As soon as they were able, the gold would be pawned, sometimes melted down so it couldn’t be identified, police added.

Some gold may have been melted down to make $60,000 medallions, emblazoned with GMC, which members of the alleged crew would wear around their necks.

A loaded gun with four bullets in the chamber was also discovered during the raids. The gun is being examined to see if it has been shot recently and where it might have come from.

Det. Sgt. Don Cardwell, who headed up the investigation, said the probe began after police spotted the burglars using brand new cars with stolen licence plates.

After realizing they were likely rentals, he said it was down to

York police have set up a flicker page for residents to see if any of their goods were seized during the busts: go to flickr. com/photos/officialyrp/sets

“good old-fashioned” police work to nab the men. However, he added that the battle against these alleged gangs continue.

“There are about 20 of these guys, they all interchange and mingle. The medallions they wear represent their lifestyle. They get money, this is a lucrative business and they lead a lavish lifestyle.”

He also took a swipe at the courts, which he said give relatively low prison sentences to offenders.

“These victims feel violated, while the courts see it as a property offence,” he said. “They don’t see the trauma it causes families. We need the support of the courts.”

The men charged include Jordan Saccucci, 32, of Mississauga, 32-year-old Maurice Beckles of Brampton, Harun Murad, 32, of Mississauga and Jamaar Taylor, 24, facing a total of 65 charges.

Upside down traffic light

By KIM Zarzour

kzarzour@yrmg.com

Alert drivers did a double-take Monday as they drove through the intersection of Yonge Street and Blackforest Drive.

One of the four stoplights along the busy thoroughfare was clearly confused, flashing red on the bottom, green on top.

Richmond Hill resident Katie Volikis Karanicolopoulos managed to snap a photo of the upside-down signal and posted it to Facebook, generating a few wisecracks.

“That guy had one job. Fail,” quipped Jenn Stergios.

“I wonder where they find these contractors,” mused Christine Volikis.

“These things make me laugh,” Volikis Karanicolopoulos said, “then I think how much this redo will cost and it makes me stop.”

But this one didn’t cost a cent.

Paul Nause, manager of traffic signal operations with the Region of York, said traffic signals do occasionally appear flipped, usually as a result of strong winds or being hit by high truck loads, but it is extremely rare.

On hearing of the problem, operations staff investigated Wednesday morning and found all was right at the intersection.

“The traffic signal displays were positioned correctly. There is no

Distracted drivers ‘miss message’

Jgeimaldi@yrmg.com

Reverse traffic light snapped by Katie Volikis Karanicolopoulos. maintenance record that there was any issue with the vehicle signal displays at this location.”

That, says Volikis Karanicolopoulos, is just plain weird.

“If I didn’t snap the photo I would think that I was imagining things…

Welcome to the twilight zone!”

Staff Sgt. Dave Mitchell has seen plenty of distracted drivers in his day, but few worse than the motorist who was watching a movie on a DVD player underneath his car’s sun visor while he drove on Hwy. 7.

He was recounting the tale yesterday at Whitchurch-Stouffville’s Community Safety Village, as MPPs and police gathered together to announce the new distracted driving laws intended to curb this kind of behaviour.

As part of the new Bill 31, which was introduced by the Liberal government and will come into effect Sept. 1, drivers can be fined $1,000 (up from $280) and receive three demerit points should they be caught by police.

It’s intended to be so restrictive that motorists put down their phones and end what Staff Sgt. Mitchell called a distracted driving “epidemic” on our roads.

Even York Regional Police Chief Eric Jolliffe said his daily commute involves countless interactions with other drivers, where he’ll toot his horn and motion for the drivers to put down their phones and focus on the road.

He noted that in York Region, alone, there have been 4,100 tickets for distracted driving this year and 2,700 for careless driving.

In 2012, Ontario saw 80 deaths resulting from distracted driving.

“People are not getting the message and if it requires increased fines for people to think twice, then so be it,” he said. “Our ultimate mandate is to protect the community from harm, whether it be crime or road safety. It’s all equally important.”

Brian Patterson, president of the Newmarket-based Ontario Safety League, said those who oppose the rules due to their harshness, remind him of those who yelled the loudest prior to the government introducing stunt racing rules in 2010.

“People were angry at the rules that said if you’re 50 kilometres over the speed limit, we’ll take your car for a week,” he said, noting he heard many of them speak on talk radio. “But then we saw 350 fewer fatalities on our roads year over year. You can’t argue with that.”

Patterson added that he also believes the legislation will bring the severity of the event in line with the judicial consequences.

“I was at an international event a few years ago and they couldn’t believe we (Ontario) didn’t have demerit points for distracted driving already,” he added. “After all, the consequences of distracted driving are crashes and fatalities.”

Transportation Minister and Vaughan MPP Steven Del Duca congratulated lawmakers on passing the bill unanimously and said it was about time we recognized the risks inherent to distracted driving.

He added he has two daughters, one age eight and one four, and he hopes they will be safer as a result.

Del Duca further noted the rules are justified considering distracted driving is now as big a problem in this province as impaired driving.

The law will also include other components, including “move over” legislation that forces drivers to give cyclists one metre worth of space where possible and asks that drivers change lanes or slow down when emergency vehicles and, now, tow trucks, are working on the side of our roadways.

Fines and demerit points will also be introduced for motorists that “door” cyclists.

An elderly pedestrian was hit by a car Monday close to Steeles and Torresdale Aves.

Police got a call at 1:25 p.m. that the man had been hit near the Toronto intersection, which is close to Thornhill.

The man, who was conscious and bleeding from the head, was taken to hospital.

Toronto Police are investigating, said Const. Scott Mills, a social media officer with Toronto Police’s corporate communications.

The provincial government is providing infrastructure renewal funds for a variety of hospitals in Ontario, including Mackenzie Health in Richmond Hill.

Through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund, the province is investing $1,207,367 for infrastructure upgrades to the Richmond Hillbased community hospital.

Funding announced last week will help address key infrastructure needs at Mackenzie Health, such as: • structural upgrades such as roof replacements and new windows; • upgraded heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems; • improvements such as upgrading back-up generators; and • upgraded fire alarm systems and other work needed to address requirements under the Ontario Building Code and Ontario Fire Code.

In the 2015 Budget, the Liberal government committed to providing more than $11 billion in hospital capital grants over 10 years, including grants administered through the infrastructure renewal fund. This funding is part of the largest infrastructure investment in Ontario’s history — more than $130 billion

over 10 years.

The overall investment helps connect regions, develop new economic opportunities and improve quality of life for Ontarians by supporting infrastructure projects in cities, towns, and rural communities across the province, according to a press release from the government.

Modernizing infrastructure will support more than 110,000 jobs a year, on average, in construction and related industries.

“Our government’s investment in critical infrastructure upgrades for Southwest York Region’s local hospital ensures that Mackenzie Health, which serves a population of over half a million people, continues to provide patients with a world-class health experience through improved access to quality care,” said Richmond Hill MPP Reza Moridi.

“Thanks to the Ontario government’s infrastructure funding, Mackenzie Health will be able to ensure that our patient care environment and supporting infrastructure are in keeping with our goal to create an exceptional patient and family care experience,” said Altaf Stationwala, President and CEO of Mackenzie Health.
