Chloe knows to act like a "rocket ship" by extending her arms and kicking her legs to get to the surface, roll on her back to get her breath and swim to safety.

Chloe, who took the survival class as part of her regular swimming lessons at the Making Waves Swim School in Vaughan, is a veteran of aquatic courses.

She was just a toddler when she took lessons at the Pavilion Fitness Club in Vaughan, where a four-year-old girl tragically drowned July 30, 2013, while attending a camp.

Youth gravitate to individual volunteer efforts SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com Practically his whole life, Mike Barker was expected to become a Lion.

"It was inherited, in the family, this is what you did," said Barker, past-president of the Newmarket Lions Club.

Barker’s father was president of the club twice.

At age 28, Barker joined too.

But, since then, Barker has observed what he considers to be a troubling trend.

"We are attracting retirees, not youth," Barker said. "That’s an increasing challenge in service organizations. We don’t have a huge percentage of younger members," he said, pointing out that his club has two members in their 40s while the rest are in their 50s or older out of a club of about 35 people.

So, why this thinning of youth among the service clubs’ ranks?

"In my personal opinion, there are lots of demands on young people," Barker said. "Service work is not put high on their priority list.

They would rather spend time with their family, walk at Fairy Lake versus spending time with a service club. People are working more, commuting to and from jobs . they don’t have time."

Barker believes the service clubs’ woes really date back to the ’80s and ’90s when the clubs did not do a good enough job of promoting themselves, of making it clear to the public what service clubs do.

"We were not in the forefront of people’s thoughts and minds," Barker said.

Peter Szoke too has seen a decrease in the number of youth in The Richmond Hill Rotary Club.

"In North America, a lot of the service clubs have older memberships than a few decades ago,"

Susie Kockerscheidt/Metroland

(Above) Newmarket Lions Club past-president Mike Barker stands in front of the Newmarket Community Centre and Lions Hall at Riverwalk Commons; (Below) Mednick, 9 (left), started The Swim For Bubbie charity event with dad Avi, mom Jessica Leinwand and sister Amy, who volunteered and helped organize. It has raised more than $7,000 for the Creative Arts Program at Baycrest. said Szoke, director of public relations and marketing and co-chair for the Rotary club’s Richmond Hill craft beer festival 2017.

But Barker and Szoke have also noticed young people making important contributions elsewhere.

Take Thornhill resident Rachel Mednick for example.

Rachel, 9, organized a charity swim event, Swim For Bubbie, June 25 at the North Thornhill Community Centre.

Her grandmother Fern Mednick, 67, suffers from a rare form of Parkinson’s (PSP - Progressive supranuclear palsy) and has always loved making art.

Mednick lives at Baycrest’s

Steve Somerville/Metroland

Apotex Centre, a long-term care facility. Baycrest is a research and education hospital on Bathurst Street in Toronto.

The highlight of Fern Mednick’s days is the creative arts program where she has created bowls and vases, tie-dyed scarfs, and beaded bracelets. The fundraiser was meant to add to the creative arts programs budget and help pay for supplies for a weekend program.

Rachel has also participated in the art program including the family creative arts pilot program on Sunday mornings with her younger sister, Amy, 5, and her

cousins.

In addition to art, Rachel’s grandmother also loves swimming, so Rachel decided to organize Swim For Bubbie to raise money for Baycrest’s Creative Arts Program. Rachel, a competitive swimmer, swims with Markham Aquatic Club.

Thanks to Rachel’s efforts and that of her family, she raised more than $9,000 for the creative arts Program at Baycrest.

Of course, Rachel is not alone in her charitable efforts.

Ben Adams, a 32-year-old Thornhill resident, embarked on his own mission this summer - a

mission that would have seemed impossible four short years ago.

Back then, Adams was 400 pounds and far from tackling a 200-km bike-riding fundraiser.

His journey to better health started when he got more and more involved in playing hockey.

He was a goalie and wanted to stop more pucks. He thought he could achieve this if he lost weight.

Today, Adams is 275 pounds.

On June 10 and 11, he rode his bicycle between Toronto and Niagara Falls in the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer, raising $2,400 for personalized cancer medicine at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

The bicycle ride held special meaning for him because both his aunt and his partner fought cancer.

But while swim and bicycle fundraisers are obviously worthy endeavors, Barker believes the younger generation are losing out by not being part of a Lions or rotary club.

"I don’t think you can get the warm, fuzzy feeling you get anywhere else than at a service club," he said.

You can find yourself helping the Salvation Army one day, then find yourself helping a family in need at Christmas time.

"It’s not isolated to one avenue... With Rotary or Lions, there’s a little of everything.You get to do a bit of all of it without focusing on being in one area," Barker said.

But service clubs are making strides to attract young people.

The Richmond Hill Rotary Club, for example, has a program called interactors which are programs for school- aged youth.

There are three such programs running in the Richmond Hill area.

The club also runs a Rotaractor program which targets people in university and college.

The interactors and Rotaractors programs is the group’s attempt to instill that desire to get involved in service clubs at a younger age, Szoke said.

Highway closures reveal road network’s flaws

TheLiberal.

For evidence of just how inadequate our roads network in the GTA can be, all one need do is bear witness to the chaos that ensues any time a major highway is closed.

Take, for instance, the incident July 20 that saw a tractor trailer spill flammable liquid on a portion of Hwy. 400 shortly before 1:30 p.m. The resulting hazard shuttered the vital north-south artery in both directions between Hwy. 9 and Hwy. 88 for about 11 hours and turned ordinarily sparsely travelled country roads into parking lots for miles around.

A number of motorists, trapped on the highway or ensnared by horrendous congestion on overloaded backroads, ran out of fuel and abandoned their vehicles.

According to media reports, some drivers were mired in the Hwy. 400 backlog for eight hours or more.

Anyone who relies on that highway as part of their daily commute could no doubt regale you with tales of the havoc that occurs during a closure - disruptions in the winter are commonplace - but it begs the question: is this the best we can do?

In their communications about the closure both to the media and via their online channels, the OPP advised motorists to avoid the area and/or plan alternate routes to their destinations.

How does one living in this part of the GTA, where commuting to and from work is a fact of life, avoid an area smack dab in the middle of the route to home or work? What alternate routes exist that can handle the traffic from a closed Hwy. 400 when most of the roads surrounding it through rural Vaughan, King and Bradford are woefully ill-equipped for such a massive volume of vehicles?

While we can’t take fault with the desire to protect the public from a potential hazard, why isn’t more done to help those caught up in the wake of an incident get around it?

This isn’t the first time the highway has been disrupted and it won’t be the last so why haven’t various levels of government over the decades moved to improve the road network so it can at least function to some degree. The long-promised missing link between Hwy. 400 and Hwy. 404 certainly would have been useful last week.

Sure, upgrading the capacity on existing roads or building the much-ballyhooed 400-404 link will come with a cost, but with so much growth in the forecast for our region, the alternative is to sit back and accept that our area will grind to a halt every time a highway is incapacitated for one reason or another. What is the cost associated with the status quo?

There’s no easy answer, but let’s resolve to do better.

Presto problems need to be solved I purchased a seniors Presto card to travel the Markham area as well as Toronto.

I went on the 14th Avenue route bus on July 4, 2017, at 9:20 a.m. I got off from the bus at the 14th Avenue and Markham intersection.

Then I took the 102D TTC bus. I tapped my presto card on the presto machine; it was not working.

The driver asked me to pay the fare, so I explained my situation.

He allowed me to travel on the bus. By tapping one time, normally you as the passenger are allowed to travel for up to two hours.

Why is the presto machine not working?

That is not my fault.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • l MORE ONLINE Read all our published letters at yorkregion.com Normally, I buy a monthly pass, which makes it very easy to travel.

The next day, I went to 14 route bus again. I explained the incident from the previous day, and asked the driver to offer a transfer. He did not give me a transfer and asked me to pay the fare.

Again, I explained this matter to the 102D bus driver, whose name is Bob and allowed me to travel on the same bus.

Why is YRT creating this simple problem?

Could I explain this situation all the time?

Why you are giving a headache to seniors?

Diversity should be embraced by all Re: LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, July 6.

I would like to say I totally agree with everything

Raza Kara said in the letter to the editor on Thursday, July 6.

All Canadians, unless they are native, are either immigrants or decedents of immigrants.

I love Canada’s multicultural society.

How boring our food would be without Italian, Greek, Indian, Chinese, Mediterranean and countless other types of fare. Instead of fighting against our differences, we should all embrace this wonderful time of diversity. Learn, enjoy, experience.

Every culture has something of value to impart.

’It’s so quiet now’: Parents remember Pulyahm Ramde JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com Only weeks ago the Ramde home was filled with the laughter and joyful sounds of the family’s only boy, Pulyahm Ramde.

Now his parents say the house has gone silent without the rambunctious stylings of the "little boy with big ears," as Pulyahm, 6, was lovingly known to some.

"It’s so quiet now," said his father Mamadou.

It was on July 7 that Pulyam was at the park playing with his mother, two sisters, their friends and another family.

Upon leaving, he and some of the others rode their bikes to the corner of Taylor Mills Drive and Newkirk Road.

Although his mother Beatrice didn’t explain what happened next, what we do know is Pulyahm collided with a truck, killing him.

"He was so happy, he

was doing what he loved the best, playing at the park with his friends," said Beatrice, fighting back tears. "It was so fast."

When he died, Pulyahm was six days from his seventh birthday, which was to be Pokemon-themed, with a big chocolate cake for the young soccer-playing lad, she added.

The family arrived in Canada in 2006 from Burkina Faso, making their home in Richmond Hill, not far from where Mamadou teaches his native French, at Beverly Acres.

In his school, Pulyahm, a boy his father described as "playful, funny and full of smiles," was great at math and fond of his friends and teachers.

"He was gentle," said Beatrice. "I would do my hair and he would be there first to say, ’Your hair is so nice’. When I dressed up he was so happy, jumping up.

He would say, ’Mommy, you are the most beautiful mommy in the world.’"

Susie Kockerscheidt/Metroland

Relatives of the late Pulyahm Emrietz Ramde, mother Beatrice Lompo (from left), aunt Melanie Ramde, and father Mamadou Ramde, hold a picture of the boy at their home in Richmond Hill.

She recounted the story of the night before the collision, when the pair slept in the same bed, after Mamdou left for Africa. "He brough in his stuffies and we slept together," she

continent, Mamdou struggled to express his emotions.

"There are no words to describe this emotion," he said, "If I said it was ’hard’ I’d be lying, it was too far beyond this. But I had to survive, to return."

Since he returned to Canada, it has been the community that’s kept him strong.

"I think the community went beyond what I could have expected, the support was from the heart," he said. "That’s what really kept me on my feet. If I didn’t get that support I think I would be knocked out for a very long time."

Although he’s been unable to thank the countless well-wishers who sent support in a variety of ways, he wanted to offer his sincere appreciation.

The family said they would like to see new safety demarcations in the intersection to let drivers know that it’s a crossing for small children.

Calls for life-jackets, swim lessons l Continued from front

said it’s crucial her daughter learn swimming as a life skill.

Never more so than this summer when there have been several drownings close to home, including a 20-year-old babysitter pulled from a backyard pool in Newmarket June 17; a 19-year-old Toronto man who drowned Canada Day at Sibbald Point Provincial Park and became the third drowning victim at the Georgina park since 2010; 15-yearold Toronto student Jeremiah Perry, who died July 4 on a school trip to Algonquin Park; and two young men who died July 8 when their inflatable boat overturned at Wasaga Beach.

As of July 24, there were 59 drownings in Ontario this year, compared to 53 last year in the same period, according to the Lifesaving Society.

Eighty per cent of

drowning victims are men.

And immigrants, who often come from countries without Canada’s abundance of water, are four times more likely to drown than Canadianborn residents, public education director Barbara Byers said.

"I’m very saddened when I see these numbers, because I look at this data every day.

"I’ve been doing it for almost 25 years, and almost all drownings are preventable," said Byers, who believes learning to swim should be a basic life skill in Canada.

The provincial government provides the society with $1.5 million a year to give Grade 3 students three lessons in basic water survival, with the society urging parents to follow up with swimming lessons for their children.

Brian Patterson, president of the Ontario Safety

League, not only wants the government to make swimming lessons available for all students in the province, he wants the government to make it mandatory to wear a lifejacket when on a boat, as opposed to the current law which only requires one be on board for every person.

Fourteen of this year’s drownings in Ontario were boating mishaps, compared to 13 last year.

With 473 Canadians drowning on average each year, water safety should be taken more seriously, Tiernan Murphy, owner of Vaughan’s Making Waves pool, said.

"If two planes went down every year, I think we would be talking a lot more about it," he said.

"But these things are happening. They’re happening one at a time.

They’re silent, so we don’t talk about it as much as we should."

SBMB is pleased to welcome lawyers, Stephen Cohen and Danielle Gonyea, to our firm.

hotdogs and beer, for example," she said.

Natalie is a student in the inaugural Youth by Design course which challenges Grade 11 and 12 York Region students interested in entrepreneurship to "follow their passion."

It is offered by the York Region District School Board and York University’s Innovation York at the university’s new innovation centre YSpace in Markham. "(Students) have ideas, they have interests, they may not know exactly what it is, and we provide them with a for-credit summer course that really allows them to go wild and explore those ideas," the university’s vice-president of research and innovation, Robert Haché, said.

Students take lessons in business leadership, philosophy, Canadian and international intellectual property and patent law and design technology.

"It’s not your traditional course that you have a textbook, here you go, this is what you learn, you get tested on this. It’s more real-life application. We’re actually solving real problems.

At 16, with post-secondary school just around the corner, Natalie Shafik was not looking forward to a stereotypical unhealthy university diet.

"I know in the future, I’m going to go off to university and most likely live in residence. I’m not going to depend on Ramen noodles for the rest of my life," the 16-year-old Markham budding engineer laughed.

Instead, the Bur Oak Secondary School student is taking a new York Region summer school course, which is helping her create an app, possibly to be called Chefing, linking students to simple recipes.

Users would input food they have on hand as an initial inventory base and then access recipes based on those ingredients.

The inventory would decrease as ingredients are used but would be replenished as the user scans grocery receipts, Natalie said.

"People who actually want to use the app, they kind of have to have some desire in cooking, rather than just depending on

Natalie Shafik is developing an app that will guide students with basic ingredients on hand to recipes. Through collaboration with Innovation York, Grade 11 and 12 students learn how innovators identify problems as opportunities to generate ideas and move solutions forward.

We’re also learning social skills like collaboration," Natalie said.

"It’s a really cool course. It’s really non-traditional. Good non-

She’s developing an app to boost connections between family members locally and abroad.

In a world that revolves around technology, Yu is driven by a desire to improve her relationship with her 10-year-old brother, Leon.

"We don’t talk. I love him, but we just don’t talk. It’s crazy, we exchange maybe five, 10 words a day and that’s it because he’s always on his tablet, always playing his Xbox and I’m upstairs chatting with my friends. We need communication," she said.

Lan Xin Ni Yang, a 16-year-old student at Pierre Elliott Trudeau High School, is working on a project to access, capture and transmit data from a cellphone to another operating system.

The course encourages students to look beyond traditional teaching, teacher Claire Hainstock said.

"This is really an opportunity to marry the idea of legacy, all the things we give you in the textbooks and all the things that provide that solid foundation, with the ability to think and innovate and create," he said.

Boost your home’s curb appeal When selling your home, nothing looks quite as good as a wellmanicured front garden or beautifully decorated balcony. While many homeowners focus on the interiors of their homes, a property’s exterior can make all the difference, adding to its appeal and boosting its resale value.

“A home’s exterior plays an important role in shaping a prospective purchasers’ decisions,” explains Norm Jensen of Royal LePage Network Realty Corp. “As the first point

of contact, these areas often help set the tone and encourage buyers to positively visualize themselves owning the home.”

An attractive exterior doesn’t have to break the bank. According to Jensen, there are a number of ways you can create a stunning outside environment without much effort or money. Here are just a few tips to carry you through the selling season:

Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion Transit Project Assessment Process Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is working to transform the way the region moves by building a fast, convenient and integrated transit network across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) and Simcoe County. Over the next ten years, Metrolinx is transforming the existing GO rail system to deliver a whole new rapid transit experience to your community. Part of this plan is to bring frequent and reliable service to communities along the Barrie rail corridor. With more frequent train service you’ll have more options to get you where you need to go.

The Project Current plans include electrified, all-day, two-way service every 15 minutes to Aurora as well as peak, midday, evening and weekend GO Train service to Allandale Waterfront GO Station. The service increase will be phased in over 10 years while Metrolinx builds additional infrastructure. To support this service increase, Metrolinx is proposing the following: • Provision of a second track between Lansdowne Avenue in the City of Toronto to Allandale Waterfront GO Station in the City of Barrie; • Upgrades to existing GO Stations along the corridor: Rutherford, Maple, King City, Aurora, Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Bradford, Barrie South and Allandale Waterfront; • Upgrades to existing structures within the corridor including bridges and culverts; and • A new train layover facility within the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury for overnight storage of trains.

The Process Metrolinx is assessing the environmental impacts of the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion (BRCE) Project in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings (made under the Environmental Assessment Act).

As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) is being prepared and will be filed documenting any potential environmental effects and mitigation requirements of the Project. Viewing locations for the agency and public review of the EPR will be published in the Notice of Completion.

All information produced as part of this project is available at www.metrolinx.com/RERBarrie.

As we have formally commenced the TPAP, we encourage our neighbours, agencies, Indigenous communities and other interested persons to actively participate in the TPAP by visiting www.metrolinx.com/RERBarrie and contacting staff directly with comments or questions at RERBarrie@metrolinx.com.

Mother of six Aisha Francis wasn’t sure what she’d do when her husband Dave was sentenced to seven years in prison back in 2004.

A professional woman on maternity leave at the time with children ranging in age from five months to 12, Francis was "devastated."

She said she "kicked into survivor mode and I went through the motions."

Dave got out of jail in 2008 but the experiences Francis went through with her husband and children inspired her to start Project Restore FIBI (Families Impacted By Incarceration), which seeks to reunite those freed from jail with the families they left behind and vice versa.

The firsthand experience Francis had gave her intimate knowledge of the ups and downs of a loved one’s life behind bars and the adjustment needed once back into the family unit again.

She worked hard to make sure her children wouldn’t fall into the trap her husband had. All six are either in school or have graduated.

The four oldest are graduates of or in post-secondary school and the two youngest are at home in high school.

"They’ve done exceptionally well," she said. And Dave, who runs a home-renovation business now, is also doing well.

But Francis said her research shows 70 per cent of children who have a parent that is incarcerated will end up in the system or have other behaviour problems.

She started Project Restore FIBI as a nonprofit in January 2014.

The organization has eight volunteers and a board of directors and is working hard to help families who need it throughout the GTA. "We provide tools for families to be more supportive. I’ve done a presentation on how to manage stress for wives and mothers because communities are only as strong as the families within them," Francis said.

Community gardens to bloom under new policy TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com Kevin Krille grew up in the country where you grew your own vegetables and herbs, if you had the land to spare.

He and his wife Jana now live in Richmond Hill, and while they have converted a portion of their driveway and lawn to use as a garden, it still isn’t enough to grow what is needed to feed their soonto-be family of four.

"If you grow your own, it’s not only more fresh, but a fraction of the cost of what you pay at the store," he said. "It’s how I grew up and want my son to grow up."

After some thought, the family decided to rent a plot at Richmond Hill’s only allotment garden located at Phyllis Rawlinson Park on Leslie Street. This townowned garden is divided into plots for rent where residents who live in condos or apartments or don’t have land space at home can still enjoy growing produce, herbs and flowers.

Last year, the Krille family planted, weeded, watered and harvested from a 10-by-10-foot plot, but this year, they jumped up to a 10-by-20-foot plot to grow

"It’s kind of a family outing when we all go together," he said. "Not only that, it’s social and you learn from others in the garden."

Currently there are 61 gardeners in this public garden and 60 more residents on the waiting list to rent plots. There are also three collective gardens in town where all of the volunteers tend to the entire garden.

With Richmond Hill anticipating the development of a new allotment garden and four collective gardens

within the next five years, town council unanimously approved a new community garden policy in order to provide consistent support that is fair and equitable.

"The town will provide support for the initial set up of the allotment gardens," natural environment manager Ann Marie Farrugia said in a presentation to council.

This will include site selection, soil testing, water access, fencing and raised beds, if needed. Ongoing support will include tilling, water and the handling of the application and agreement process.
