OMB approves 29-storey development

TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com The Ontario Municipal Board has approved the construction of the tallest building in Richmond Hill’s history.

Despite the town’s effort to appeal the decision made by the OMB in March, the construction of a mixed-use, commercial and residential, high-density development with a six-storey podium and two towers standing 29 and 24 storeys on the southwest corner of Yonge Street and Carrville Road will forge ahead.

"I’m infuriated and frustrated with the entire thing," Richmond Hill Ward 5 Coun. Karen Cilevitz said. "It flies in the face of what is laid out in our Official Plan."

The property, located at 9218 Yonge St., falls under the town’s key development area listed in its Official Plan. This designation comes with a height limit of 20 storeys.

The OMB has previously approved a 24- and a 27-storey devell See TOWN’S, page 11

Stanley and Kathleen Benson speak out after 3 men plead guilty, 2 others released JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

Jeremy Grimaldi/Metroland

Stanley and Kathleen Benson still experience anxiety over the home invasion they suffered in 2014. hoods pulled low on their faces, walking by his driveway as he shovelled snow under a night sky.

The men eventually stopped, one man smoking a cigarette, before departing.

"I thought it was really strange," Stanley said.

At about 8:35 p.m. about 10 days later, Stanley was sitting in the kitchen searching the iPad for a new rental property while Kathleen washed up, when they heard the doorbell.

Stanley told Kathleen repeatedly she shouldn’t answer it as it was late. But Kathleen wanted to be fair to their landlord, who was trying to sell the home at the time.

"I thought it was someone that came to look at the house," she said.

Although she failed to look through the peephole, Kathleen remembers seeing the shadow of a man through the bay window.

"As soon as I turned the latch, they opened the door and forced themselves in."

Kathleen said she saw four men, dressed in black,

before she felt an electric shock surge through her body, throwing her through the air. She fell to the cold tiles head first.

One of the assailants rushed to her, sat on her chest, covered her face with a gloved hand and asked "Where are your kids?"

She responded: "There are no kids here."

Stanley said he got up immediately and rushed at the men, screaming, "No." "I thought, ’This can’t be happening.’ Your adrenalin spikes immediately."

Stanley remembers the two men in the rear rushing toward him as another male quickly ran downstairs. He believes there might have been a fifth man they didn’t see.

As they collided, Stanley said he felt a "heavy electric shock" before reengaging, this time trying to kick the intruder.

He felt a sudden sting of pain in his ankle and looked down to see his ankle "facing the other way."

"They came back at me and I remember saying,

’Hey, my leg’s broken, look what you’ve done to me," he said. "The ringleader had seen there was no safe and had come upstairs.

Now he is furious. I’m in absolute shock."

Soon after, the men wrestled him to the ground, striking him in the eye with a metallic object he never saw.

"Where is the money," Stanley said they said to him. He denied having any money. "You’re f---ing lying, where is the f----ing money."

Next they yelled that if he didn’t get them the money, they would hurt his wife.

"They were holding me down, kicking me, they Tasered me again and just kept interrogating me about the safe and location of the money. Eventually someone said, ’Get the gun.’"

"I thought then and there, they’re going to shoot us, this is it, we’re done."

Kathleen was yelling across the room, begging the men to stop, repeatedly

advising them that her husband had a heart condition.

"They yelled back, ’Tell her to shut the f--- up,’" she said, explaining the man sitting on top of her repeatedly told her, "Sorry" and begged her to be quiet, so his accomplices would let her be.

After Stanley decided to fake unconsciousness, the intruders appeared to figure out what had happened.

"So they began to drag me, they only got 10 feet before something seemed to go off in their heads," he said. "It’s almost as if they knew at that moment they had the wrong house."

In the aftermath of the incident, York Regional Police’s hold-up squad spent more than eight months investigating.

Three men pleaded guilty, including alleged ringleader Fabricio Calderon, a.k.a. Tango, and Jessie Guerra.

A bracelet of Guerra’s with his DNA on it was located in the house underneath a piece of furniture.

yorkregion.com

As Stanley Benson lay in a pool of his own blood on his kitchen floor, his ankle broken, while masked men beat him, he made a decision for the safety of he and his wife.

"I pretended to pass out," said the six-foot-seven tall man.

Benson and his wife, Kathleen, retold the traumatic events of Feb. 18, 2014, when at least four men burst into their Richmond Hill home, clad in balaclavas intent on breaking into a safe stuffed with thousands of dollars.

The problem for the bungling robbers was they had the wrong home.

In hindsight, it’s easy to understand how the error happened, considering their neighbour and landlord, who had small children, had taken to parking his truck in the Bensons’ driveway.

The Bensons fled their native Zimbabwe 15 years ago, leaving a home protected by a seven-foot wall, two German shepherds and large electrified gates, and choosing Canada, one of the safest nations in the world, to raise their two sons.

"We came here to get away from trouble and violence, to keep my kids safe," said Kathleen, whose boys were 10 and 13 at the time. "My boys felt liberated (when they arrived)."

Fast forward a dozen years and the boys had moved out of the family home on Belvedere Crescent, near Crosby Avenue and Newkirk Road, in Richmond Hill.

Just 10 days before the Bensons lives were altered forever, Stanley remembers a group of four men, dressed in all black with

A third man, Bradley Abbott, testified against two men - Samuel Elliot and Nicholas Acosta. In July, those men were acquitted of the crime by Justice Laura Bird.

Despite making statements including, "I strongly suspect you were (involved)" and explaining both men were not only in contact with the Guerra and Calderon, but in the area at the time of the invasion, Bird said she had little choice but to find the men not guilty because of inconsistencies in Abbott’s evidence.

As for the Bensons, although they face anxiety when they hear doorbells, keep all doors locked and have a cricket bat by their Stoney Creek home’s front door, Stanley insists he still feels safe in Canada and their home.

"We’re lucky we’re alive ... We have a home and healthy kids," he said. "The cup is still half full."

However he still struggles to understand how a group of people, particularly the ringleader, could be so intent on reaching their objectives, that they could exact this type of violence on people.

"If they felt as though if they needed to kill someone to get that money, I truly believe they would have," he said.

Kathleen said attending court was therapeutic.

"I think it helped that when I saw them ... They weren’t that frightening," she said. "I said, ’I will not let you intimidate me.’ So I stared at them each in the face, they couldn’t look at me in the eye, none of them. That was empowering if you can imagine."

She takes an interesting approach to the incident, explaining that even if she could go back in time, she would not change a thing.

"If I could do it again, I would rather it happen to us than those kids next door, I would take it again to avoid that," she added.

Calderon, Guerra and Abbott were each given more than two years in prison, minus credit for pre-custody time served.

Hiking HST for cities a bad idea, but what’s better?

TheLiberal.

Meet Kathleen Wynne, tax fighter.

Even the Ontario premier’s staunchest allies will agree that’s not a description that is often applied to Wynne. And yet, you can thank her for saying an abrupt ’no’ to a request from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) which would have seen the harmonized sales tax (HST) go up by one per cent in order to fund municipal infrastructure improvements such as roads, sewers and arenas.

No doubt this is not what Wynne had in mind when she told municipalities to work together on developing new sources of revenue to make a dent in municipal infrastructure gaps. Increasing the HST from 13 to 14 per cent is not among the options she is prepared to consider. Not with an election around the corner and polls showing the Liberals are inching back into contention with the Progressive Conservatives.

A bad idea motivated by good reasons is still a bad idea. Increasing the HST is not something any of the major political parties are willing to consider. Especially not the Liberals who have been criticized for previous tax increases, and especially not with a hotly contested provincial election just around the corner.

But here’s the thing: While this idea was doomed from the start, the problem it was intended to address is all too real and getting more serious. Municipal officials have been warning for years that towns and cities cannot afford the growing cost of infrastructure maintenance and development. With increasing concern about liability, insurance costs are becoming prohibitive, leading to public facilities in some communities being shuttered. Roads, sewers and bridges across the province are in need of serious upgrades and repairs. This hits smaller communities with small tax bases hard, and only adds to the larger, better-documented burden placed on cities like Toronto.

In most communities, the gap between need and available investment is growing incrementally every year. Provincially, it’s pegged at $4.9 billion. How will municipalities keep up? They don’t have the myriad of revenue options the province has. But for most municipalities, the options are few: increasing user fees, reduce services or increase property taxes. None of those is a sustainable strategy. They leave property taxpayers not only in Toronto but across the province with an untenable burden.

There is no question. Municipalities need more options. Where are the solutions that are palatable to all involved?

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Airplane noise part of living in urban area Re: Aviation noise from Pearson may force Richmond Hill resident from home, Aug. 8.

It’s a shame some residents are annoyed by the sound of planes overhead on those days we are on the flight path rotation for Pearson.

I’ve always thought it was rather fun watching them line up and come overhead as they head in for their turn to land.

The noise has been audible but never bothersome they are 4,000 to 5,000 feet up, after all - and they’ve never driven anyone I know indoors. It might be different if we lived in Malton or North Etobicoke where you can almost wave

to the passengers, but here it’s just a more interesting bit of traffic noise.

Those readers who complained might find the whole phenomenon more enjoyable if they downloaded one of those free flighttracking apps for their phones or tablets. You can see in real time who’s up there, where they are coming from, and even watch the view from the camera on the front of the plane.

Airplanes overhead are just one more piece of living in an urbanized area.

My suggestion: relax, look up, enjoy.

Attention parents and parents-to-be: 1) You decided to have a child (or children); 2) You are highly-educated with excellent careers; 3) You calculated all the costs and responsibilities of having children; 4) You decided to continue with your careers and leave the responsibility of taking good care of your child/children to a child care facility; 5) Now, you find you didn’t calculate the cost of that capable responsibility to take wonderful care of your child/children.

Is that it in a nutshell?

As in everything in your life, you must take full responsibility for those decisions.

Our tax dollars are not there to relieve the ’bur-

den’ of those decisions.

You have left the responsibility of care in the capable hands of child care workers. Do they not deserve the payment they receive for taking care of your child/children for approximately eight hours a day while you fulfil your decision to continue your career? I am talking specifically about two parents with capable careers.

I am a mother of three and grandmother of seven, so I know full well the decisions I had to make in my life to fulfil what I wanted and to make sure my children had the best care possible, either with me or with a responsible child care facility.

I’m afraid you have to choose!

That’s my opinion only.

against West Nile virus

What is West Nile virus?

West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne virus that is spread to humans from the bite of an infected mosquito.

The virus cannot be transmitted person-to-person by touching, kissing or sharing cups and utensils with someone who has the virus.

Most people infected with West Nile virus do not get ill at all. Those who do may experience flu-like symptoms within two to fifteen days, including: • Fever • Muscle weakness • Stiff neck • Confusion • Headaches • Sudden sensitivity to light Sometimes West Nile virus can cause severe illness including meningitis and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain).

Benefits. When I told her that this will would lead to her daughter most likely losing her government benefits, she was shocked. I explained that in order to protect her daughter’s government benefits, she could not leave an outright gift of such a large amount of money but should consider setting up what is known as a Henson Trust.

A man brought in a homemade will for me to review. When I asked him what he did for a living, he told me that he owned a manufacturing company. When I asked the value of the company, he told me it was worth about 5 million dollars. I told him that the probate tax would be approximately $75,000.00 dollars. He was not aware that he could make a second will for his company shares which would mean that probate tax on those shares would be zero. I have seen doctors and dentists who own medical and dental professional corporations who now realize that they can make a second will for their corporation which will result in zero probate tax for such corporate assets. In Ontario, you are allowed to make two wills, one for your corporation and one for your other assets.

You can save a lot of probate tax by doing this.

As mentioned, I would be pleased to review your existing will for free.

Peace of mind is worth the time.

have no back up executor to replace the executor that is no longer alive. Without an executor named in your will, there will be nobody to act for your estate immediately upon your death.

If you have separated since the date of your last will, it is important to consider revising your will. If your will leaves everything to your “spouse” and you are separated, you should be aware that your separated spouse is still your spouse and could inherit under your existing will, if he or she is named. Your separation does not revoke your will. On the other hand, if you have married since the date of your last will, your will is revoked by Ontario Law. In other words, if your will is dated January 15, 2010, and you got married in 2016, you no longer have a valid will.

I reviewed wills for a husband and wife who had forgotten to update them after their third child was born. Their wills left everything to each other and then to two of their three children. They had inadvertently cut out their third child. They made a new will that included all of their children as beneficiaries.

So many wills I review refer to assets that no longer exist.

If you left your 14k gold ring to your daughter Mary and you no longer own it, it is important to revise your will so that you do not create false expectations. As well, if you left Mary your house on John Street but you no longer own that house, she will not get your house on Main Street. If you want her to get your house on Main Street, you should revise your will to say this.

I reviewed a woman’s will which appeared to be fine until she told me that her daughter, who was getting half of her estate outright, is on Ontario Disability Support

Fish and Associates is well known for offering people a free review of their existing will. You can call to make an appointment, and we will sit down with you to go through your will to see if it is up to date and not recipe for a family battle.

Your will should be a living, breathing document, and it should reflect your current life situation. Unfortunately, many wills are locked in safety deposit boxes and haven’t been looked at in years.

Meanwhile, since the will was made, there may have been marriages, divorces, remarriages, more children, more grandchildren etc., and assets that have changed. Your will is one of the most important documents you will ever sign. You made a will to protect your loved ones. How can it protect your loved ones, if it is out of date?

I have seen so many wills that were prepared in the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s. These wills do not have a special clause to protect a child’s inheritance in case that child gets separated or divorced.

It is not good enough just to say “I leave my estate to my son Bill.” Without a family law clause in your will, any money your child makes on the inheritance through investments is not protected in case he or she gets separated or divorced. I also find this important clause missing from so many of the will kits and homemade wills that I review. Even if your will was done in the 90’s or after 2000, I would be pleased to review it to make sure it has the family law clause in it.

One of the most important parts of your will is the appointment of your executor. I find so many wills have executors named that are no longer alive.

Many of these wills also

Town’s attempt to appeal OMB decision denied

opment in the same area, Cilevitz pointed out. With the addition of a 29-storey development, traffic will be significantly increased at an already congested intersection.

While the idea is to get people living in urban areas to get out of their cars and onto public transit, the infrastructure needed to make that vision a reality, including a subway line and rapid bus transit, is a decade or more away, she said. "(This type of development) does make sense at this location but developers are constantly pushing the envelope," she added. "Now that amendments have been made to allow 29 storeys, developers will be looking to push even higher."

Cilevitz feels this is one more glaring example of why OMB reform is needed. These decisions are made by the board and any issues arising from them are the municipality’s burden to bear.

The town initially rejected the proposed development due to height and density concerns. The developer, 9218 Yonge Street Inc., took the proposal to the OMB. Following a six-day hearing, the OMB sided with the developer, approving the requests for amendments to the town’s Official Plan and zoning bylaw.

The OMB stated the development proposal presented "no real threat" to the urban structure framework or the town’s policies related to intensification or density.

"On the weight of the whole of the evidence, the building height can be controlled by the 45 degree angular plane together with controls on density, setback and parking," stated the original OMB decision.

A request by the town to rehear the matter was reviewed and denied by OMB associate chair James R. McKenzie.

"The request does not raise a convincing and compelling case as required to demonstrate that the board made an error in law by allowing both appeals," McKenzie wrote in a response to the town’s request for appeal. "The board’s interpretation of the (Official Plan) accords with accepted land use planning principles."

Cilevitz admits it is a gamble to ask the OMB to overturn its own decision but the town felt requesting an appeal was the right thing to do in this case.

"Now there is nothing further we can do," she said. "Unfortunately, the OMB didn’t agree with the town’s stance."

Pink slips will be handed out at some York Region businesses this fall amid an anticipated disappointing hiring climate, according to the latest ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey.

While only three per cent of York employers plan to hire workers from October to December, 10 per cent expect to lay off staff, said spokesperson Maple Kyriacou of Manpower’s Markham office.

Another 87 per cent of employers expect to keep their current staffing levels.

disappointing since a general trend of modest growth is predicted nationally, Darlene Minatel, vice-president of Manpower Canada operations and strategic accounts, said.

"Most of the hiring activity is expected to focus on Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia; however, there are still some bright spots in the rest of Canada, led by an anticipated moderate uplift in the oil and gas sector," she added.

Once seasonal variations in staffing levels are accounted for, the region’s employment outlook is a 20-percentage point decrease compared to the previous quarter, Kyriacou said.

"It is also a decrease of 11 percentage points from the outlook reported during the same time last year, indicating a weak hiring pace for the upcoming months," she said in a statement.

York’s anticipated hiring climate is even more

Haunted by her husband’s death Half-century after husband slain in FLQ robbery, widow angry she received no compensation TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com More than 53 years have passed, and the 87-year-old still wakes up at night in a panic, her eyes watering.

It was supposed to be another routine Saturday on Aug. 29, 1964, when Alfred Pinisch went into his job at International Firearms in Montreal, with wife Shirley and sons Richard and Peter at home.

And everything went as planned until just before closing time at 5 p.m. Then, disaster.

At least six members of the fledgling Quebec separatist terrorist group, the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ), entered International Firearms intent on stealing guns. The men quickly killed the company’s vice-president Leslie McWilliams, 58, and lined up the other employees to kill them, too, but Pi-

nisch, 36, was able to run downstairs where he pushed another employee out a window telling him to find a police officer. Pinisch grabbed a rifle intending to confront his captors and ran back upstairs. When he got to the main level he was met by officers coming through the door. Pinisch yelled, "Don’t shoot, I’m an employee!" But in the confusion, an officer who thought he was one of the terrorists shot him in the neck, killing him.

She remembers little of what happened next except for a harrowing scene several days later - and its

"There was a man in a grey suit outside at the funeral, he was stamping his feet on the ground and he was screaming and sobbing and I thought, I don’t recognize this man, and I turned to someone and said, ’Who is he?’ and they said, ’That’s the policeman who killed your husband.’

"I was going towards him and someone pulled me back and I don’t know what I was going to tell him or ask him. He said, ’Sorry

madam, sorry madam.’

This poor policeman, I heard, was hospitalized in a psychiatric ward after and he committed suicide."

Pinisch said her friends rallied around her and told her she had to get a lawyer to get compensation from the government for herself and her two sons, aged 10 and 1.

Despite efforts to try and receive compensation from several levels of government in the 1960s, Pinisch, who remarried in

1973 and again in 2003 after her second husband died of brain cancer in 1995, has never received anything beyond $200 a month in Workman’s Compensation.

She also had to work three jobs - a full-time day job as a secretary, nights selling cosmetics, and weekends helping out a photographer - to make ends meet on her own.

"I didn’t have time for myself, didn’t have time for my children. I never saw my children grow up, my husband did have a small life insurance policy and I paid off the house with that, but I just worked all the time, I was so tired all the time," she remembers.

Pinisch, who lives in a Markham seniors’ home with her third husband, Vincent Chevalier, 93, is still unhappy with how it’s all unfolded.

What upset her this summer was the announcement the federal government gave $10.5 million to Omar Khadr, the Canadian citizen who spent 10 years in Guantanamo Bay after the Canadian Supreme Court determined the government had denied him his rights as a Canadian citizen when Canadian intelligence officials interrogated him as a youth and shared their information with U.S. intelligence officials.

Khadr sued the government under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms for infringing on his rights. He also received an apology from the government.

Pinisch compares the treatment and compensation from the government Khadr received in 2017 with the treatment she received in 1964.

"I was ignored. Nobody wanted to handle it, it was too political (her husband’s death)," she said, tears flowing down her face. "The friends of my husband wrote letters all over. I was so worried about getting somebody to listen to my story, just talking about it gets me so angry."

“Most songs start in my head unbidden,” says the legendary Canadian singer/songwriter, Buffy Sainte-Marie, whose songs, she says, appear to her as fully formed ideas even before she writes them down. “Sound asleep in bed or on an airplane, they just show up, something like dreams.”

In a career that’s spanned over fifty years, Sainte-Marie has been a powerful advocate for Indigenous rights and the acknowledgment of cultural genocide in North America, through her work as both an activist and an artist. And while the prolific songwriter finds most of her songs in her head—something she attests in the liner notes of her most recent album, Power in the Blood—Sainte-Marie acknowledges that her activist songs require a more journalistic approach.

“Like a photographer taking pictures,” she says, “some songs are easy as a snapshot, while others profit by a little setup and processing to make their point.”

Artist, Activist, Altruist: Canadian Music Icon Buffy Sainte-Marie Comes to Markham

Recently named an Honorary Witness by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Sainte-Marie has dedicated her career to the creation of music that encourages its listeners to engage politically with Indigenous concerns. And, although throngs of fans were clearly paying attention over the years, it’s taken half a century to see real progress on a governmental level.

“Over the fifty years of my career, a few of us have consistently yelled about genocide in Canada,” she says, “but we weren’t taken seriously until the Truth and Reconciliation Commission spelled out the irrefutable facts.” continued on page 2

Saint-Marie from page 1 Sainte-Marie believes that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission is a huge step forward for all Canadians. “It enables universities, teachers, researchers, journalists, politicians and the general public to speak confidently about the generational trauma of the residential schools era,” she says, “and, hopefully, to be part of helping the families of survivors to gain a semblance of normalcy in Canadian life by focusing light on this most horrible of colonial policies.”

Still, the 76 year old Member of the Order of Canada acknowledges that we have a long way to go in implementing this new policy of Truth and Reconciliation in a way that will effectively reverse the damage done, “both to victims and our prestige as a good nation.”

“We must face what greed and unbridled power in the hands of our own colonials did to our

own unprotected Indigenous populations,” says Sainte-Marie.

“The acknowledgement does help but we’ve only just begun to fix it.”

The fact that we, as a nation, still have a long way to go in terms of acknowledging and reconciling our treatment of Indigenous peoples motivates Sainte-Marie to continue writing music, and to continue touring across the country. “I wouldn’t be on the road unless I believed that my own songs can make a difference,” she says. “I just want to put the songs to work.”

But apart from the political importance of her work, there’s something else that compels Sainte-Marie to continue writing and performing music. “It’s the same thing that makes a kid want to play their favorite game,” she says.

Discussing her upcoming cross-Canada tour with her band—which will be making a stop at the Flato Markham Theatre this November Sainte-Marie says, “It’s so much fun nobody has to make you do it. Playing the music is its own playful reward, even if the subject is serious.”

Ashley Lobo, founding artistic director of the Navdhara India Dance Theatre (NIDT), loves Bollywood.

“It’s the simplicity and larger than life melodrama that makes it entertaining and pleasing to the eye,” he says.

Throughout a distinguished career as a dancer, choreographer, educator, and international producer, Lobo has found a niche for himself in the high-flung, melodramatic, and gloriously campy genre. He has choreographed dance sequences in over twenty Bollywood films, and is the man responsible for bringing a new Bollywood-inspired stage musical to audiences all over the world.

Coming to the Flato Markham Theatre, A Passage to Bollywood has already toured extensively. As one of India’s only internationally touring dance companies, the Navdhara India Dance Theatre has a celebrated reputation for bringing lively, energetic, and highly entertaining work to enthusiastic audiences wherever it travels.

“For me, audiences must feel the energy of a performer… not just see it,” says Lobo.

It’s that philosophy from which Lobo derived his signature style of choreography. Steeped in the idea of creating a “new flow,” the NIDT combines various traditional methodologies to create new work.

This philosophy has been used with the NIDT’s most popular touring production. A Passage to Bollywood has now been presented in nearly a dozen countries, and the company boasts that each performance is greeted with standing ovations.

Lobo isn’t surprised that this new musical, which is steeped in a culturally specific genre and performance style, has found such universal acclaim.

songs,” she says. And it is that personal, emotional connection to her music that will continue to inspire change in audiences across the country.

“The way we encourage new ways of doing things is to do them ourselves,” says Sainte-Marie. “Set the example, prove it can be done, then let it fly.”

Buffy Sainte-Marie will play the Flato Markham Theatre on November 10, 2017. The fall season at the Flato Markham Theatre has a star-studded line up of rock artists including Robert Charlebois, Carl Palmer, and Gowan. For more information, visit markhamtheatre.ca.

“Bollywood is a medium for the masses in India,” he explains. “It’s fun, light and entertaining… It’s like going back into your childhood and experiencing the almost ridiculous, in a completely logical way and believing it.”

Filled with all the trappings of a traditional Bollywood film, this new stage musical Lobo and his dance company have created celebrates the simplicity of the genre. It is through that simplicity and accessibility, Lobo suggests that the genre has been met with universal appeal.

“A Passage to Bollywood is full of life, colourful costumes, drama, passion, music and larger than life dance,” he says, adding that audiences can expect a “rollercoaster ride of emotion.”

When the international tour of A Passage to Bollywood makes a stop at the Flato Markham Theatre this November, Lobo hopes local audiences will embrace the brash, over-the-top, highly entertaining production, even if they’re unfamiliar with the genre.

A Passage to Bollywood is presented as part of the theatre’s World Stage Series’ South Asian Focus which includes Song of Lahore performed by The Sachal Ensemble, Honour: Confessions of a Mumbai Courtesan starring Dipti Mehta, and Nrityagram Dance Ensemble.

CONNECT is a new kind of public-powered journalism. You ask the questions that matter to you — about any issue, big or small — and we will find the answers and publish them online and in our newspapers. Ask your question at YORKREGION.COM/CONNECT

More CONNECT Q&A MICHAEL ASKED: Why is an always empty YRT bus (marked as 320 express) going up and down along Hwy 404 all day long? I have never seen any passengers in it.

HOW CAN WE COMPARE EMERGENCY WAIT TIMES? Shutterstock

yorkregion.com

KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com You’re faced with a health emergency. Where do you go?

Do you take a chance and drive to the local hospital emergency room, possibly waiting for hours on end, or take a gamble on another hospital further away?

Karen Mulvey lives in Keswick and works in Vaughan.

She asked us, through CONNECT, whether the province’s new wait times registry will make it easier to decide where to go for emergency health care.

The answer is yes – and no.

If you live in York Region, you have three emergency room (ER) options: Newmarket’s Southlake Hospital in the north, Mackenzie Health and Markham Stouffville in the south. If you live in the northernmost parts of the region, Royal Victoria in Barrie may be a fourth option.

The province has created a new online tool that provides wait times for these, and 122 other ERs and Urgent Care Centres in Ontario. You can visit ontariowaittimes.com to get an idea

of how long a patient needing immediate, unscheduled health care can expect to spend in an ER. However, that information is not posted in real time (it’s updated on the second last business day of the month), and it can’t tell you the time you will spend in ER on a particular day.

Only patients heading to Markham Stouffville Hospital can see estimated emergency wait times in real time, thanks to a tool on the hospital’s website, msh.on.ca Royal Victoria is currently reviewing that technology to see if it would be beneficial for

Barrie, according to Paula Istead, operations director, Emerg e n cy a n d I C U. M a cke n z i e Health will also consider the service, spokesperson Catalina Guran said.

Meantime, the best provincewide data says you can expect to wait the longest in the ER in the wee hours of the morning.

At Mackenzie Richmond Hill hospital, busiest days for the emergency depar tment are Sundays and Mondays (or Mondays and Tuesday after the long weekends), Guran said. Longest waits are usually around 10 a.m. until noon and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

At Southlake, there is not

one particular day or time that is the busiest, according to the hospital’s strategic communications consultant Kathryn Perrier.

It is also difficult to pinpoint the busiest days and times at Royal Victoria, said Dr. Natalie Cousineau, chief of emergency.

“We typically see and treat up to 300 patients each day, making us the busiest ED in the region,” she said. “We service a huge geographical area, are situated on a very busy main highway and deal with a large influx of seasonal patients due to our proximity to cottage country.”

In general, urban residents tend to wait longer in ER than people living in rural areas, according to a study by Health Quality Ontario.

Karen Mulvey thinks there would be value in a real-time clock that would allow residents to compare hospitals and avoid the “brutal” wait times.

“What happens now, people get there and wait for hours and leave angry. At least you’d know g o i n g i n a n d m ayb e wo u l d choose not to go, to wait and go to your doctor during business hours instead.”

The answer from Christine Terin, manager of marketing and communications at YRT: YRT Route 320 - Newmarket-Beaver Creek Express was implemented on Sept. 6, 2016 as per York Region Transit’s 2016 annual service plan.

This express route connects Newmarket and Aurora with Beaver Creek and Commerce Valley employment areas via Hwy. 404. It operates during weekday rush hours at a frequency of 35 minutes.

Ridership has steadily increased from accommodating approximately 26 passengers to approximately 37 passengers daily in the last three months.

YRT/Viva monitors new services for a minimum of 12 months of operation to ensure they meet service standards.

JULIE ASKED: What has happened to the big fountain, sponsored by the Newmarket Rotary Club, that used to run in Fairy Lake? It hasn’t been on all summer and we miss it.

The answer from Jeff Bond, Newmarket parks manager: The fountain was damaged due to the large amounts of rain during the week of June 19, June 22 and June 23.

The fountain was eventually carried away by the heavy flow of water.

Newmarket staff tried to recover the fountain, but efforts have been discontinued due to safety concerns.

A READER ASKED: When is the City of Vaughan going to widen Hwy. 7 between Kipling Avenue and Wigwoss Drive? It is the only stretch of Hwy. 7 that is still two lanes.

The answer from Thomas MacPherson, manager of transportation asset management at the Region of York: At this time, there are no immediate plans to widen this section of Hwy. 7. Future rapid transit is identified for this section of Hwy. 7, but there are currently no immediate plans and timelines for the stretch. However, there are other significant transportation projects currently under construction that can help get residents around in the City of Vaughan; this includes the Toronto-York Spadina subway extension and the Hwy. 7 West/Woodbridge vivaNext rapid transit project. More information on these projects can be found at vivanext.com.

A healthy white smile is always in season

NEWS

Explore our highest elevations The Oak Ridges Moraine, where you’ll find the highest points of elevation in York Region, was primarily formed by the Wisconsin glaciation about 12,000 years

1

YORK-DURHAM LINE The region’s highest elevations are clustered near Hillsdale Drive.

The highest point, estimated at 380 metres above sea level, sits west of this dead-end road. Several sand and gravel pits occupy this area. You’ll enjoy some decent views to the north and south as you drive in this area.

2

DUFFERIN STREET On the east side just north of Lloydtown-Aurora Road in a rolling field is a giant cellphone tower perched on a spot more than 360 metres high. Tall trees block the surrounding landscape, but there’s a spectacular view as you travel west along Lloydtown-Aurora Road.

3

KING SUMMIT ROAD This aptly-named road, off Jane Street near 16th Sideroad, leads to a spot on private property reaching 363 metres. Across Jane Street is the Environment Canada Weather Radar Station - home to Doppler weather radar, visible from Hwy. 400, that resembles a giant golf ball - also on a site about 360 metres.

4

STRAWBERRY HILL TRAIL This private road on the east side of Weston Road runs off a steep hill and leads to a site with an elevation of 361 metres. It isn’t accessible given it’s on private property, but this stretch of Weston Road offers great views north and south.

5

HWY. 48 The former dump site north of Bloomington Road boasts a high point of 355 metres. It’s across the street from Maples of Ballantrae Golf Club, which has heights of around 350 metres. Travel west along Bloomington Road for a nice panoramic view of the Toronto skyline.

Fortinos is a great place to work, consider joining our team!

At the request of the Attorney General and in accordance with the Justices of the Peace Act, the Justices of the Peace Appointments Advisory Committee invites applications for vacant Justice of the Peace positions in the Province of Ontario.

NOW HIRING

A Justice of the Peace is an independent judicial officer who presides in court over various proceedings under federal and provincial statutes. Applicants must meet minimum qualifications as set out in the Justices of the Peace Act. The Justices of the Peace Appointments Advisory Committee reviews and evaluates applications and classifies candidates as “Not Qualified�, “Qualified� or “Highly Qualified�. Classifications are reported to the Attorney General, who recommends candidates for Order-in-Council appointments to the Ontario Court of Justice.

In addition to reflecting the diversity of Ontario’s population, applicants should also display the fundamental skills and abilities, personal characteristics and community awareness attributes set out in the Committee’s General Selection Criteria.

Bilingual positions require a high degree of proficiency in English as well as a superior level of oral and written proficiency in French. As First Nations people comprise a large percentage of the population in the areas being serviced by the court in Timmins*, we especially encourage people of Indigenous heritage and people with an in-depth understanding of Indigenous communities and the issues affecting those communities to apply for this vacancy.

For detailed information about the vacancies noted above, minimum qualifications and the General Selection Criteria, the required application form, and the Committee’s process, please visit the website of the Justices of the Peace Appointments Advisory Committee at www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/jpaac.

Applications for current vacancies must be submitted on the current prescribed application form and received by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 11, 2017.
