Jacob Gal from Soup-Pa will be giving away free rainbow ice cream during the Pride parade on Main Street in Newmarket.

Events Calendar

Pride parade moves north KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com A disagreement between York Pride Fest and the Town of Richmond Hill has led to not just one, but two Pride events in York Region this summer. For four years, the region’s Pride parade has taken place on Yonge Street in the heart of Richmond Hill, but this year parade organizers, feeling snubbed by the local business community,

have packed up their rainbow flags and headed north to Newmarket. Pride Fest spokesperson Jacob Gal hopes the town’s Main Street will be the perfect venue for a family-friendly parade and afterparty at Riverwalk Commons on June 17. Meantime, another organization, PFLAG York, is working with the Town of Richmond Hill to create a separate Pride event June 3 in a new location in Rich-

mond Hill, adjoining the Elgin Barrow arena "This is a new initiative for us," said Amanda Knegje, president of PFLAG, the region’s LGBTQ support, resource and education network. "We’ve always been very supportive of Pride Fest . It’s great seeing growth, and multiple events, especially when it involves both north and south York Region." Earlier this year, Richmond

Hill had informed Pride Fest that the parade could not take place in its usual spot on Yonge due to traffic issues, costs to the town, impact on local business and poor attendance. Instead, the town offered an alternate route: a side street in the village core and nearby park. Since 2013, the Town of Richmond Hill provided support to the parade and was the first in York

SPORTS

JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com You’ve probably heard how 50 is the new 30. Well, it might well be that the new 50, or even 55, is now somewhere near 70 years of age. Long gone is an expectation that adults must slow down and curtail activities when 55 candles need be extinguished on a birthday cake. Just because that was the case a couple generations ago doesn’t make it so now. The rules of play are changing as baby boomers age. Folks may be getting older, but they still like their fun and games, and want to be active more than any previous generation. This a significant power-wielding group that often gets what it demands. In short, the generation that created old-timers and masters sports is getting older. And the over-55s are an extremely large and growing group. It is not only fitting, but obligatory, that municipalities listen and react to those demands. "We are very aware of a growing senior and older adult population," says Mary Creighton, director of recreational services for the past seven years for the City of Markham. "One thing we knew we had to do was have an older athlete policy and we’re doing that right now. It’s how we need to move forward and how to deal with an aging population." Recreation directors in municipalities across the region meet quarterly to exchange ideas regarding trends in activities and needs. It should be no surprise that older adults’ needs are high on the list of priorities.

Boomers force municipalities to alter their game

Steve Somerville/Metroland

(Clockwise from top) An overview of popular pickleball action at the Pan Am Centre in Markham; Ellanna Whitaker of Newmarket and her pickleball partner, Holly Walker of Markham, both lunge for a ball hit over the net at the Pan Am Centre in Markham; Connie Green reacts to her bowl missing the jack. Watching are Keswick Club 55 carpet bowling competitors Elsie Harrington (from left to right), Joe Smyth, Rocco Di Mambro, Carol Klahm and Ren Gazley. Creighton points to an integrated leisure services master plan unveiled in 2010, which included sensitivity and sensibility toward a rapidly aging population. That strategy works in sync with the Region of York’s strategies for seniors’ needs and issues, including housing and transit. Markham’s five senior adults clubs have approximately 4,800 members. And many more figure to be on the way. "We know we have to get ready for growth in that age group and one strategy is becoming an age-friendly community," said Creighton. Markham’s facilities are fully accessible. Programming includes an extreme range of activities from cards and crafts to more physically demanding

sports such as volleyball, she said. Sometimes it is as simple as redesigning playing surfaces with lines corresponding to the introduction of new activities. For instance, the Aariin Community Centre and Library, due to open in Markham this fall, will include lines for pickleball on its court surfaces, in addition to traditional court sport lines. In Newmarket and Georgina, at least one set of two tennis courts in each municipality have been reconfigured into pickleball courts. The racquet sport combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis, but is played on a smaller surface and a lower net. "Pickleball is a growing sport and one of the fastest

growing in North America," said Newmarket director of recreation and culture, Colin Service, noting the conversion in 2016 of two tennis courts into six pickleball courts. "We had a demand to provide a facility and this facility was the right size for six pickleball courts. "It was the perfect storm of several factors coming together. There is nothing on the books right now, but we are always ready to adapt (to demand)." Service points out the municipality is not simply acting impulsively, but based on needs gathered through interaction with citizens. It doesn’t always mean bringing into action bulldozers and moving the earth. It’s noteworthy that municipalities’ activities maga-

zine unfailingly include a section dedicated to activities for older athletes. "For our recreation playbook we did a lot of research and consultation," said Service. "As baby boomers age, they don’t always want program-specific facilities as much as something to do that is age-specific. "We have added a lot of group fitness classes, so it’s less about hard impact classes and toward full body and core conditioning. Stuff that is a lot easier on the joints." Georgina has been an avid booster of sports for seniors and has hosted Seniors Games events regularly since 1995. Georgina has seniors centres, or Club 55 facilities, in Keswick, Sutton and Pefferlaw. Additionally, a pro-

posed multi-use recreation facility in the south end of Keswick will be designed with seniors’ needs in mind. "Georgina has one of the highest rates of seniors’ participation," said director of recreation and culture Robin McDougall. "We are responding to this very active group. It’s now a more active group than ever and we have to be more creative to meet their needs. The regular standbys such as cards, billiards and darts are sharing the spotlight with carpet bowling, shuffleboard and yoga, among other activities. "It’s definitely a more active (age group) than even 15 years ago," said McDougall. "It’s a younger senior that wants to be more active." The message is plain and simple: Play on!

Are tougher fines required for distracted drivers?

TheLiberal.

The symbolism was perhaps a bit heavy handed, but the message was crystal clear. In the continuing effort by police to convince drivers that texting or talking on cellphones while behind the wheel can be disastrous, Toronto police put a hearse into service as an unmarked vehicle on Feb. 21. The grim visual, part of a weeklong effort to combat distracted driving in the city, was intended to convey the message to motorists that using mobile hand-held devices could land you or someone else in that sombre vehicle, so common to funeral It’s important to processions. If the approach seems point out that dramatic, it’s important to point out that authorities authorities are are fighting an uphill battle when it comes to ending fighting an distracted driving, as they uphill battle are with impaired driving, decades of powerful when it comes to despite messaging and RIDE camending distracted paigns. Last year, police observed driving. the phenomenon become even more common than drunk driving. By the end of August last year, there were 38 distracted-driving deaths, compared to 19 impairedrelated fatalities. Overall, 2016 saw 309 traffic fatalities on OPP-patrolled roads, up from 301 the year before, and distracted driving was one of the main causes. In Ontario, texting, talking into a hand-held mobile device, even eating while driving, can result in a fine between $490 and $1,000, plus the loss of three demerit points. A ticket can also result in a $200 or more uptick on your insurance bill. Distracted driving has been illegal in this province since 2009. Insurance Bureau of Canada statistics show that a driver is 23 times more likely to be involved in a collision if texting while driving and four times more likely if talking on a cellphone. Eighty per cent of collisions involve some sort of driver inattention. But drivers continue to do it. A Canadian Automobile Association survey, conducted late last year, revealed that 33 per cent of Canadians admit to texting at red lights. If stiffer penalties are what’s required (Transport Minister Marc Garneau is calling for national standards on fines) then they should be implemented. We can’t allow distracted drivers to continue to make our roads more dangerous.

• LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Reality doesn’t align with opinion on renewables Re: OPINION: Don’t blame renewable energy for Ontario’s electricity costs, March 9. Keith Brooks, programs director at Environmental Defence, is quoted as saying ". To keep costs low, we need to see more renewables in Ontario’s future," and, "Wind and solar power costs are plummeting.". Meanwhile, in the real world things don’t match up with Mr. Brooks’ take on renewables. For every source of solar- or wind-generated electricity that is attached to the grid, there must be a "conventional" generating source (nuclear, hydro, gasfired generators) of equivalent output.

The conventional sources are required to provide the stability of a baseload to the grid and to ensure the grid provides sufficient electricity when the wind is not blowing and the sun is not shining. In other words, there first must be enough conventional sources of electricity to meet consumers’ demand. Then, one can add (and this is not cheap to do) intermittent sources of power to the grid. The Auditor General for Ontario, in at least two reports, has quantified the billions of dollars that this scenario has needlessly cost Ontarians. Similar experiences have occurred around the world. Australian politicians are in panic mode because the government’s actions to shut down conventional generating sources in fa-

vour of so-called "green" energy) have led to an official forecast that the country will have insufficient electricity in 2018-19. Businesses have shut down, or have reduced staff to cut costs, partly in response to skyrocketing prices for electricity (think, subsidies) and due to power blackouts (see the state of South Australia, particularly). Germany, a country with one of the most ambitious green targets, is now considering the construction of 12 coal-fired generating plants to replace nuclear plants they are planning to shut and so as to add more reliability to their grid because of the country’s experience with unreliable wind power. A study of Spain, another country with massive wind power on their grid,

demonstrated that, for every job created by "green" power, two to four jobs were lost. Mr. Brooks might also like to explain why some other jurisdictions are not enthusiastic about "green" power. Just one, for instance: there are 1,500 to 2,000 coalfired plants under construction or planned for China, other parts of Asia, and the Middle East for completion between now and 2020. I consider that a major refutation of Mr. Brooks’ statements about the costs of green power. Speaking as an Ontario ratepayer and taxpayer, we need to vigorously push back against the egregious myths that Mr. Brooks and those of his ilk have been perpetrating on us.

con and Firkin were their only supporters in the Richmond Hill village, he said. On the other hand, he said, Newmarket businesses have responded with enthusiasm. "I don’t want to be tarring everyone with the same brush but there are very different ethnic demographics between the two downtowns . Before we even started planning the festival in Newmarket we were getting more support there. The visual atmosphere will be very different, much more rainbows, engagement from businesses." Glenn Wilson, BIA chairperson and owner of Canada T, welcomes the

Region to proclaim Pride Week. "Richmond Hill is a very, very inclusive community and we did our best to work with [Pride Fest] . We absolutely support Pride," said town spokesperson Meeta Gandhi. But Gal said local support for the event had declined in recent years and it was time to move on. Gal said he’d tried to encourage local business involvement, asking them to post a parade flyer in their window, "but I felt like I was annoying them. I only ever saw it in one window Pharmasave".

event and anticipates a decorated village with rainbow flags in flowerpots. "After all," he said, "it’s a whole new day and age." Tom Zielinski, owner of Bike Sports located at the north end of the Main Street parade route, agrees. When Zielinski left a communist regime to emigrate to Canada, he said he embraced the diversity and freedom here. "We have to move forward. These millennials, they are smart cookies. We give them so little credit but they have so much common sense. They are walking with the world in their pocket." Gal said the Newmarket Farmers Market has partnered with the event and

there are plans for giveaways, draws, storytelling in the story pod featuring work by LGBT+ authors and performances on the Riverwalk Commons stage. The artisans festival run by the Lions Club is set for the same weekend at nearby Fairy Lake. "When you have multiple things to go to, it means you can park your car, take a shuttle with your family for breakfast or food at the Farmers Market, watch the parade then walk the trails at Fairy Lake or check out the jewelry and art and make a whole day out of it." Stephanie Ramsden, owner of Sweets Instore British import, hopes to hang a rainbow-coloured Union Jack.

"Everyone’s welcome here," she said. "As long as it’s not smutty - and it’s not supposed to be like that then it’s a great thing, bringing everybody together. Newmarket is a really supportive community for everyone." To distinguish itself from the Toronto Pride parade that has become notorious for its provocative participants, the York Region event does not allow nudity and follows a code of ethics to ensure it is appropriate for families, Gal said. But some businesses in Richmond Hill weren’t so sure. Mehrdad Sabouhi, BIA chair in Richmond Hill, said local businesses want events in their village but

some don’t view the parade as family oriented. Others disagree with closing Yonge street - and losing business - for several hours. Michele Brunet, owner of Unwind Yarn House in Newmarket, understands their concern about lost business - she says it’ll hurt her, too, when Main Street is closed - but she believes it is worth it. "In the long run it benefits me because it lets people know about this area. It brings vibrancy and shows Newmarket is an inclusive community."

Commuters in Oak Ridges, Aurora, Whitchurch-Stouffville to have easier access to public transit KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com Construction has officially begun on a new GO train station that will extend the Richmond Hill line north to Bloomington Road. The station, to be located at the southwest corner of Highway 404 and Bloomington, is scheduled to open in 2019. Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca, Oak Ridges MPP Helena Jaczek, and Newmarket-Aurora MPP Chris Ballard were at the site on Friday morning to make the announcement. The station - to cost an estimated $82.4 million - is located at a key corner linking the municipalities of Richmond Hill, Aurora and Stouffville, and brings much-needed expansion of services to commuters in York Region, Jaczek said. Greg Percy, Metrolinx chief operating officer, promised an "amazing station" that will be a "pride point for the region," with a 765-space parking structure, charging for electric vehicles, heated shelters, a platform snowmelt system, kiss-andride area, and a covered bus loop. It extends the Richmond Hill GO rail line north from the current terminus at Gormley, located at Stouffville Road and Highway 404. The Gormley station opened in 2016 and is served by five morning and five afternoon GO train trips on weekdays. The project will make lives easier for York Region residents and will bring more economic investment northward, said Ballard. The station will include a 12-car side rail platform with a canopy, designated waiting areas and scooter parking. Construction will focus on reducing impact to the surrounding ecosystem with rooftop solar panels and environmentally-responsible building design. The project will bring 200 jobs to the area, Del Duca said. "Demands here in York Region are significant," he said. "We are playing that simultaneous game of catch-up for the underinvesting that took place prior to 2003 . at the same time working hard to keep up, because we know the demands of population growth." The station represents the final stop on the line for Richmond Hill - and while it won’t provide allday, two-way electrified service "for a considerable time" because the rail is owned and operated by CN, it will still help get people out of their cars, Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Barrow said. "Anything that creates more capacity . helps us to grow reasonable, easy, seamless public transit."

Many parents feel that an outright gift to a child is not practical because those parents do not want that child to inherit a large sum of money outright when he or she reaches the age of majority.

The Wills Lawyer

Most parents would rather have the money managed and invested until the child reaches a more mature age. This is accomplished by setting up a trust in your Will. You can pick an age at which you feel your child will be mature enough to inherit outright. By setting up a trust in your Will, you can ensure that your executor, a person you trust, is managing and investing your child’s money until that child reaches the age Les Kotzer you specified. This treatment is very different from an outright gift to your child at the age of majority, because in such a case, your child will be able to get his or her hands on the money and spend it, according to his or her own whim. Imagine your child, not yet 20 years old, taking a big block of cash and buying an expensive sports car. You would probably rather see that same money being kept available to fund a college education for your child. This demonstrates why it is often important to set up a trust in your Will. An important consideration in setting up a trust in your Will, also known as a testamentary trust, is to select the proper person to act as executor. The term executor, for the purposes of this article, should be regarded as interchangeable with the term trustee. You should be aware that you can have multiple executors. If you are setting up a trust for your child until he or she reaches an age such as 25, you can have your will drafted so that your trustee has access to the funds required for your child’s maintenance, education, medical needs or any other matters which your trustee feels necessary for the general benefit of your child. This is commonly known as a power of encroachment. Your executor will have the ability to take money for your child’s legitimate needs as described above. Even though your child’s share of the principal will be frozen until your child reaches the age you specify in your Will, your trustee can nevertheless access the principal for those needs which the trustee feels require the expense of capital. It is obvious that your trustee is exercising a large amount of discretion over what money is going to be available to your child or for the benefit of your child. The trustee is carrying out his or her obligations as stated in your Will, but there may be occasional conflict between your trustee and your child. In order to smooth out areas of conflict, it might be advisable for you to write a non-binding letter, separate and apart from your Will, expressing your true feelings about the type of discretion that your trustee should exercise after your death. For example, in this type of letter, you may express your wish that the trustee can use a child’s money for educational purposes but cannot use the money for an expensive European vacation or expensive sports car. A letter of this nature can be of great comfort to your trustee, because he or she can show your child the letter that sets out your true wishes as to how the trust money is to be treated. Les Kotzer is a wills lawyer with the law firm of Fish and Associates at 7951 Yonge Street in Thornhill. Les is a regular call in guest on the Barb DiGiulio show on Newstalk 1010. He has also appeared on CNN and was featured as a Canadian success story on the CTV National News. In 2013, Les was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubileee Medal for his work in Wills and helping to educate the public. Les is pleased to offer a free Will review for those who have a Will and are not sure if it is up to date. He also offers a free will consultation, if you do not have a Will and are not sure where to start. To book a will appointment with Les you can call his office at 905-881-1500.

SMELTZER, John Thomas (1950-2017) Died on March 25, 2017 surrounded by loving friends. He was a much loved member of L’Arche Daybreak, Richmond Hill where he made his home for 46 years. John was also embraced and respected by many people he visited on his weekend walks in Richmond Hill.
