Teena Bogner, president of the Newmarket Taxpayers Advocacy Group, isn’t surprised by a report saying government workers get paid more than their private sector counterparts.
Bloated bureaucracy: Do we pay public servants too much? Lisa Queen lqueen@yrmg.com A new report from a public policy think tank that highlights the gold-plated salaries and benefits government workers receive compared to their private-sector counterparts comes as no sur-
prise to a York Region taxpayers’ group. “They have formidable pension plans, they have excellent benefits, and for the most part, where most of us are putting in eight- to 12-hour days, they are putting in their seven-and-ahalf-hour days. Not that I have a
problem with that,” Teena Bogner, president of the Newmarket Taxpayers Advocacy Group said about the study released last week by the Fraser Institute. “And I think the entire bureaucracy, whether it’s provincial, municipal or federal, is quite bloated.”
But residents should consider the wide range of services provided by skilled public sector employees before swallowing a report from a right-leaning organization, said Doug Sheppard, unit chair of Canadian Union ● See STUDY, page 22

Manage your great expectations to survive the holidays
Lisa Queen lqueen@yrmg.com Come on, you know you do it. Despite years of evidence to the contrary, you picture the holidays as something akin to a Norman Rockwell painting with rosy-cheeked children and loving family members gathered around a perfectly cooked feast. So, why do gatherings of loved ones tend to end up like a scene out of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation instead? All-American goofy dad Clark Griswold may dream of the perfect oldfashioned family celebration but instead ends up with bickering and eccentric relatives, pretentious neighbours, mooching family members, an overcooked turkey carcass, an incinerated Christmas tree, a jelly of the month work bonus, a police SWAT team, a trailer chemical toilet-related explosion and 25,000 energy-sapping outdoor lights. Sound familiar? York Region experts are weighing in with some tips to help manage our great expectations so we don't drive ourselves crazy in the pursuit of perfection. The best way to make the most of the holidays for yourself, not to mention your family and guests who are bound to prefer comfortable glad tidings over stressed out ostentation, is to keep things as simple as possible, according to Thornhill's Sara Dimerman and Newmar-

ket's Kathy Russell. "Most people want to impress their guests by being the hosts and hostesses with the mostest. They may have the best Christmas ornaments and hand embroidered towels hanging in the bathroom," psychologist and author Dimerman said. "However, keep in mind that if you overdo things, guests may feel that they could never do as well and may even be reluctant to invite you back for fear of being judged as not good
enough. So keep things simple, try not to go overboard in your striving for perfection and know that your good friends will love you for your flaws and imperfections." Russell, owner of Butler Girl Services concierge and professional organizing company, agreed. "I think the biggest thing is, I always say to people, keep it simple because they go all big, extravagant Norman Rockwell and it just becomes overwhelming," she said.
"And the other thing that I think is important is write everything down, from everyone you have to buy for to what you have to shop for on grocery day to setting up your house so it's down on paper and it's out of your head." Get any stuff that you can do early out of the way, Russell said. For example, set the dining room table a day or two in advance. "It just makes things simpler so as the day creeps up on us, at least one less thing needs doing." Decorate only the rooms you are going to use, said Russell, adding the technique will curb post-holiday burnout. "Because it's afterwards when everyone is just exhausted from it all and they look at the tree and they hate Christmas

and they hate everything. Just keep it simple, I can't stress that enough," she said. Consider hiring outside help for tasks you just can't stand doing yourself. Butler Girl is offering a holiday special of three hours work for $150. Russell's other suggestions include sticking to a budget, making sure the size of your tree is appropriate for the size of the room and allows for easy flow of traffic and keeping a stash of hostess gifts available so you don't have to rush out when the stores are crammed. Dimerman also offered several helpful hints. "Order in. Even though you may think that this shows less effort on your part, keep in mind that if you're not so frazzled from preparing food all day, you
may be an even more energetic host," she said. "Putting the ordered in food on nice platters may make you feel a bit better about putting in more effort and your guests will likely not be any the wiser." Consider a daytime drop-in open house rather than a sit-down evening meal. Discuss roles that each of your family members can play when entertaining. A smaller child can be responsible for hanging up guests' coats, for example, Dimerman said. "There's no shame in using recyclable paper plates rather than having to load or wish dishes," she said. "Again, no one usually minds and if they do, maybe they're not worth having on your guest list anyway." Prepare yourself in advance, Dimerman said. "If you're used to getting into a fight with your sibling every year, plan ahead to do something different before either of you erupt," she said. "You can't change other people, but changes in yourself have to impact on how others around you respond or react, too." If all else fails, remind yourself that no one else is having the perfect holiday either. "Watch movies about other dysfunctional families coming together so that you are reminded you are not alone and a certain amount of dysfunction is normal," Dimerman said.

umours of the impending demise of Canada’s first-past-the-post voting system appear to have been exaggerated if recent developments on the electoral reform front are any indication. Then Liberal Party leader and now prime minister, Justin Trudeau, was emphatic throughout the 2015 election campaign that it would be the last conducted using the voting system that had been in place since Confederation. What a difference a year makes. Trudeau’s ambitions to see first-past-the-post replaced seem to have gone off the rails given the confusing scene that unfolded in Parliament this month. The committee tasked with examining electoral reform delivered its majority report recommending the government come up with a new system and put it to voters via a referendum, but that notion was dismissed by Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef. Instead, she suggested the all-party committee had failed in its mandate and simply kicked the can back to the government. Monsef went on to allege the committee’s membership had overcomplicated the issue. The opposition, naturally, took umbrage and defended their members, while, in some cases, also attempting to hoist Trudeau by his own petard. An easy target, perhaps, given that some Liberal members have expressed mixed feelings on the push for electoral reform in time for the 2019 election and that the prime minister, himself, has suddenly seemed reluctant on the idea, going so far as to suggest that the urgency for reform lessened when his government won power. Despite everything, Monsef says her hope is that some form of electoral reform legislation will be introduced in the spring. To get some sense of what that should look like, the federal government has launched an online survey, at mydemocracy.ca, and sent out information cards in the mail. This, too, has created controversy. Ultimately, democratic reform is a tricky thing, but the Liberals made pursuing it a crucial component of their platform during their election and shouldn’t be able to simply abandon it when the going gets tough. There are numerous ways to gauge support for different voting systems, and by all means pursue them, but remember that many of those who voted to elect this government likely did so, at least in part, because of the pledge to replace the antiquated first-past-the-post with something more democratic. Enough theatre. Let’s get on with it.

Joel Clements is adamant: he does not want this story to be about him. But in a way, it has to be, because he is just "an ordinary Canadian" and isn't that the point? Like many of us, the Richmond Hill man was moved by Tragically Hip singer Gordon Downie's plea, during his summer concert in Kingston, for Canada to address its historical mistreatment of indigenous people. But unlike many of us, Clements, 47, was moved to action and last week he found himself on an eye-opening excursion back through time and into a world of hurt in northern Ontario. It showed him, he says, that we can all make a difference, no matter how small. During his summer concert, Downie, who has terminal brain cancer, drew attention to the legacy of Canada's residential schools, calling on all Canadians to take action. For 150 years, more than 150,000 children were sent to these institutions, used as a tool of assimilation, inflicting physical, mental, and sexual abuse on many. One of those students was Chanie Wenjak, an Anishnaabek boy who ran away from his school at the age of 12, trying to return to his home in Ogoki Post more than 400 miles away. He only made it 60 km before he died of exposure beside the
railroad tracks on Oct. 23, 1966. Early this month, Downie's Courage For Gord fundraising team announced it would retrace Chanie's footsteps Nov. 19 and 20 as a gesture of reconciliation, respect and healing. That's where Joel Clements, "ordinary Canadian", came in. Downie's words had "hooked my heart", he says. He asked to join the walk as official photographer and offered to pay his way. To his surprise, the group welcomed him aboard. Driving along a wintry highway from Kenora back to the Winnipeg airport last Monday, Clements struggled to process what was, for all involved, an emotionally powerful journey. enous culture, communicating with the creator and encouraging us to embrace the broader view of life. This spiritual creature was with them throughout the journey. By 9 a.m., the walkers had assembled for a smudging ceremony. Bathed in smoke from the sacred fire, they set out to the sound of singing and drumming, a prayer for safety and healing. It was a bone-chilling cold and as they walked and talked quietly, Indigenous and non-Indigenous side by side, they imagined Chanie's lonely journey in his light jacket on the icy trail.
● See BONE page 11
● From page 10 At one point, Clements walked with an elder who sang a healing song. With reverence, the man lifted his arms to the sky and Clements looked upwards: another eagle glided above. Further on, at a desolate spot surrounded by marshy grass, they all halted again. Seven eagles circled in the grey sky. The silent sight was eerily comforting. The walk came to an end where Chanie left the highway to follow the railway tracks.
Chanie's four sisters paused there, staring down the rails towards where their brother's body was found, 12 kilometers away. It was youngest sister Martha's first visit to the site; she was profoundly moved, Clements says. Martha had idolized her big brother, was always waiting at the dock for him to come home by float plane for Christmas and school breaks. That October day 50 years ago, she was just five, her big sister Pearl 15 - the only ones home
when Chanie's lifeless body was delivered to their door. The authorities hadn't even told the family he'd gone missing. Martha and Pearl broke away from the Wenjak walkers and headed east down the track. A little ways on, Martha collapsed. Her sister knelt next to her, allowing her to weep. An elder joined them with a smudging pot and circled them with smoke. That weeping - there was a freedom to it, Clements says. Most of the participants shed tears on
that journey. It felt healing. And that, says Clements, is what this was about. Healing. "There is an incredible amount of shame felt by the indigenous. Everything to do with them, the soul of who they were, was erased. "But I never learned about this in school ... We can't brush all our inconvenient history under the carpet." We need to bridge the gap between the two communities and the best way to do that, Clements believes, is by forging relation-
ships. Out of friendship, he says, comes trust. Clements returned to Richmond Hill this week loaded up with photographs and memories. He hopes to use both to spread the word - his "small" effort towards reconciliation. "This is not about some great thing I've done," he adds. "Who am I? I'm just nobody. Just a Canadian. A guy who grew up in Toronto and answered Gord Downie's call."

to save time, money and reduce waste For many families, shopping and preparing meals comes with a lot of food waste. On average, York Region households throw away $1,500 worth of food each year. Here are some simple tips to reduce food waste and save time and money:
1
Plan ahead and shop with a list (check your cupboards in advance to avoid buying duplicates)
2
Buy only what you need; bulk buying or buying on sale is only cost effective if the product is actually used
3
Choose recipes you can make ahead, giving you more time with your family and friends
4
Serve smaller portions; preparing or setting out more than they can eat is more food wasted
5
Freeze leftovers to enjoy later; soups, stews, pasta and casseroles freeze well

Stretch of Hwy. 404 to be widened, HOV lanes added
Lanes to be added between Hwy. 407, Stouffville Road KIm ZARZOuR kzarzour@yrmg.com Highway 404, between Highway 407 and Stouffville Road, will get high-occupancy vehicle lanes in each direction, it was announced Dec. 9. The project will widen the highway from six to eight lanes for about 10 kilometers and includes construction of a new 171-vehicle carpool and transit lot in the southwest quadrant of Hwy.
404 and Major Mackenzie Drive. Two overpasses at Highway 7, widening of the 16th Avenue overpasses and replacement of the Rouge River overpasses are also part of the project. Work is expected to begin in 2017, with completion in 2021. The highway expansion will help commuters spend less time in gridlock and encourage economic growth in York Region, said Richmond Hill MPP Reza Moridi. “This is great news for residents in York Region that rely on Hwy. 404 to get around the GTHA,” said Dr. Helena Jaczek, MPP for Oak Ridges-Markham.
“These improvements will help commuters travel safely, while reducing travel times.” The federal government is contributing up to $46,057,500 through the New Building Canada Fund and the Government of Ontario is covering all remaining costs of the project. The provincial contribution will be determined once the project is tendered and awarded, according to Andrea Ernesaks, spokesperson for Transportation Minister and Vaughan MPP Steven Del Duca. Once the contract has been awarded, the provincial portion will be disclosed publicly.

5 ways to eat local this holiday season
Simon martin smartin@yrmg.com The Christmas season is synonymous for spending time with family, friends and most importantly good food. This year when preparing to feed the holiday crowd, why not try and avoid the frozen food aisle at your local grocer and pick up food from local producers in the area. It is possible to eat fresh local food this Christmas to go with all the tasty sweets and libations. Here are five places you can go to get local food this Christmas: ● King Cole Ducks, 15351 Warden Ave., Newmarket. Why not try a different cut of meat this Christmas? King Cole Duck is the largest duck farm in Canada. The third-generation family business has 14 farms with more than 140 staff across Ontario. At King Cole nothing is wasted from the duck. Manure is used to fertilize the fields that grow feed for the ducks and duck feathers are processed and sent away to make pillows and jackets. You can visit their new farm fresh store on Warden Avenue. Whole roasted duck, smoked duck breast or
Duck a l'Orange are just a few of the options. For more information visit kingcoleducks.com. ● Bill's Turkey Farm, 2978 Holborn Rd., East Gwillimbury If you want a to go with something more traditional this holiday, Bill's Turkey Farm might just have the bird that is the apple of your eye. The third-generation Van Kempen family has been farming the bird in the Queensville area for 60 years. They process the birds on site and age them in a cooler until they are ready for delivery. Their turkeys go to small butcher shops and grocers across the GTA including Vince's Market and the Queensway Marketplace in Keswick. People can also make an order and pick it up at a store on the farm. For more information visit billsturkeyfarm.com. ● Round the Bend Farm, 16225 Jane St., King Bill's Turkey Farm isn't the only place you can pick up a farm fresh bird. Round the Bend Farm in King offers turkeys for pickup during the holiday season. Their turkeys are grain, corn and soybean fed without hormones. For more information, visit roundthe-
bendfarm.com. ● Thompson Potato Farm, 19228 McCowan Rd., Mount Albert You can't have a proper turkey dinner without a steaming bowl of mashed potatoes. There's no better spot to pick your local spuds than Thompson Potato Farm. The Thompsons have been farming the land on McCowan Road since 1937. They started growing their signature potato crop in 1943. They sell a lot of their products to restaurants in the GTA including a pre-peeled line that is very popular. The potatoes come in 10-pound and 50-pound bags. For more information visit thompsonpotatofarm.com. ● Velvet Sunrise Coffee Roasters, 8-100 Ringwood Dr., Stouffville There's no better accompaniment for Christmas sweets than a cup of freshly roasted coffee. The scent from ground Velvet Sunrise coffee is the perfect way to cap off your festive feast. Mark Hayward roasts more than 1,000 pounds of coffee in house every week. For more information visit velvetsunrise.ca.

After a year of hearing "welcome" from their new Canadian neighbours, York Region refugees had a chance this weekend to offer their own "welcome" back - offering a glimpse of their homeland, traditions and dreams for a new future in Canada. It was an emotional gathering on the evening of Dec. 10, when about 300 newcomers, Canadian families, school board staff and local politicians met at Bayview Secondary School. The "meet your neighbours" event was organized by about 125 of the region's refugees. For several hours they played host to the Canadians, sharing traditional music,

folk dances, food, videos and games. Booths were set up by youths to explain what life is like in Syria, Egypt and Iraq. Children sang traditional songs about love of their country and how Canada represents their "tomorrow" while videos played showing their year in York Region; first school bus rides, picnics, Christmas parties and lots of smiling newcomers with hands raised in a sign of peace. The heads of families were then introduced; each stood when their name was called, some holding children in their arms, and they waved hello while those in the audience clapped. Noor Din, CEO of the not-for-profit Human Endeavour, one of three organizations involved in the event planning, said

Pre-planning arrangements for you and your family
� From page 20 most of the program was presented by youths whose language skills, thanks to their Canadian classroom experience, have progressed faster than their parents. But it was important, he said, to recognize family elders “for their tireless and unconditional support for their families and the community.� King-Vaughan MP Deb Schulte thanked the refugees for hosting the event, praising them for their hard work in integrating into Canadian society. “It’s a tough time to come to another country, with a different language and different culture but it’s amazing to see how much you’ve been able to do,� she said. “The challenge now will be to transfer away from all the support Canada has offered,� she said. “But it has been done before by other immigrants. It is important that you support each other. You’re going to have to be bonding together and draw strength from each other.� Dina Alkadmani, 17, took to the stage to talk about her first year in Canada. The biggest challenge, she said, was communicating in a new language. She also noted Canadian schools are “more developed� and not segregated by sex. She was also surprised by fire and lock-
down drills. “In Syria we didn’t have any alarms that sense fire or smoke ... Also, we didn’t have lockdowns. It’s normal for students in my country to carry weapons for reasons like self defence.� Periodic power outages in Syria meant no heat or air conditioning for long lengths of time. “But in Canada, even though it’s really cold, houses and shops are always heated. “I feel more comfortable in Canada now. It was hard at the beginning but now it’s more easy as now I’m learning how to overcome these difficulties with the help of my school staff. “I would like to tell you that not every beginning defines the ending, as all of us face a lot of difficulties but we will all learn how to overcome them.� Two videos, produced with help from York Region District School Board, showcased students’ successes and struggles. One video featuring Piaman Balasimy “defying her disability� brought tears to the eyes of many in the gym. When the 10-year-old girl arrived in Canada earlier this year, she was unable to move, could only pull herself along on the floor, had no school experience and no verbal or literary skills. She now attends H.G. Bernard Public School in
Richmond Hill in a class for multiple exceptionalities and her teacher Elizabeth Conner says she has made phenomenal gains, able to get around in a wheelchair, communicate with others and perform basic tasks. “She has the strongest desire to learn of any child I’ve ever taught ... She has a wonderful future. She is going to blow us away with what she can do.� Another video, called “Syrian Boy Finds Success,� described how 18-year-old Khalid AlKhalaf arrived unable to read or write and persevered through discouragement to become one of the top students in the shop class at Richmond Green Secondary School. York Region refugees hosted the event because they want the local community to know who they are and share their cultures and traditions, and they want word to go back out to the community that they are available for local jobs, Din said “We hope this will give them a sense of accomplishment and pride, make them feel they are an integral part of the community and participating the same as the rest of us who’ve been settled here a long time.� The event was organized with help from the CCSYR, YRDSB and Human Endeavours, using funding from York Region Critical Funding.

Study shows inflated government wages ● From page 1 of Public Employees Local 905, which represents about 5,000 municipal workers in the region. “The Fraser Institute isn’t exactly a progressive group,” he said. “In terms of our wages, I think our members are paid fairly for the work they do. In the public sector, we have workers that are highly skilled and educated. I think of our paramedics at the region. Highly skilled and you’re putting your life in their hands.” Sheppard also questioned why the Fraser Institute didn’t include the astronomical salaries and bonuses taken home by some corporate CEOs. The study, called “Comparing Government and Private Sector Compensation in Canada”, found government workers earned salaries 10.6 per cent higher on average than comparable workers in 2015, the most recent year of data
from Statistics Canada’s labour force survey. The wage gap took into account differences of workers in the two sectors, such as their age, gender, education, tenure, type of work, industry and occupation, the report said. Government workers also surpass private sector employees in other areas, the study said. For example, 89.3 per cent of public sector workers were covered by a registered pension plan compared to only 23.8 per cent of private sector employees. Government workers retired 2.3 years before their private sector counterparts. Public sector workers took 12.7 personal leave days compared to 7.8 days for private sector employees. Private sector workers were about seven times more likely to be laid off than public sector employees. “With the federal government running a large
deficit and provincial and municipal governments across the country looking to control spending, bringing public sector compensation in line with the private sector would reduce financial pressure,” study coauthor Charles Lammam, the institute’s director of fiscal studies, said in a statement. “Of course, governments need to provide competitive compensation to attract qualified employees, but the fact is wages and benefits in the public sector are out of step with the private sector. Closing the compensation gap would not only help governments reduce spending without affecting services, it would also increase fairness for taxpayers.” The institute promotes a “race to the bottom” mentality, encouraging the slashing of public sector wages and benefits rather than urging better compensation in the private sector, Sheppard said.

HICKS, Dalton It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dalton Hicks, peacefully, at home surrounded by family on December 6th at the age of 88. Devoted husband to Shirley (Mylks) for 63 wonderful years. Loving father to Kelly (Summerfeldt) and Kathryn, proud grandfather to Kyle, Amy and Nicole. He is survived by his sister Betty (Thomas). First and foremost, DALT was a friend people could count on. He was a true entrepreneur that was marked by hard work and integrity. Dalt was born in Newtonbrook, Ontario on January 16, 1928 to Clifford and May Hicks. He attended Earl Haig High School and then went onto Shaw’s Business College, which he left early as he thought he would be better suited in the working world! Never being afraid of getting his hands dirty Dalt started working in the family cemetery business along with summer jobs as a caddie at Forest Hill GC. Then with a loan he bought a tractor which he contracted work with local farmers. By 1955 Dalt started a 30+ year career in the gravel business as owner operator of Gormley Aggregates. In 1988, after selling Gormley, Dalt embarked on a new career in the golf business at the young age of 62. His love for the game of golf prompted him to build Cardinal Golf Club which he built into the largest golf property in Canada. Dalt gave his time to his industry and his community which found him on the board of many associations including OSSGA, NGCOA, Griffith Island, York Central Hospital, Tryall Club in Jamaica, just to name a few. Dalt touched many lives with his constant support to community projects, particularly Mackenzie Health and Southlake Hospitals, and provided guidance and leadership that served him so well throughout his lifetime. In his 88 years Dalt lived life to the fullest and his love for his family and his friends was his greatest joy. He will be missed by all who knew him as the very special man that had an impact on our lives. Friends and family are invited to visit at MARSHALL FUNERAL HOME, 10366 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill on Thursday, December 15 and Friday, December 16 from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. Funeral service will be held on December 17, 2016 at 11 a.m. in the Richmond Hill United Church, 10201 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill. Reception to follow at Cardinal Golf Club, 2740 Davis Drive West. Private cremation. In Dalt’s memory donations may be made to Mackenzie Health’s Urology Clinic or to the construction of the new Southlake Hospice (Margaret Bahen Hospice for York Region ). JARVIS, Glenn Owen Born December 15, 1956. Glenn passed away Thursday, December 8, 2016 from complications of Diabetes. Sadly missed by his son Kevin Owen Jarvis, his brother Paul and parents Barbara and Harry. Memorial at a future date.
