Grand opening Hillcrest Mall unveils new south wing PAGE 2 Mike Barrett/Metroland

Ilse and Werner Wanschura were struck from behind earlier this month while driving about 150 metres from their driveway on busy Carrville Road. Despite the trauma, physiotherapy, rehabilitation and medical treatment, the couple remains determined, along with their son, Chris, to host their annual Halloween fundraiser for Autism Ontario.

here’s a lot of scary things in the Wanschura front yard these days – spider webs, gravestones, skeletons – but the scariest thing is on the other side, just beyond the hedge. It’s called Carrville Road, and 86-year-old Werner Wanschura still shakes when he talks about it. That’s because he and his 80-year-old-wife Ilse had a brush with death on the street, not

far from their own driveway, on Thanksgiving weekend. Folks may know 225 Carrville Rd. as the “haunted graveyard”, the place where trick-ortreaters meander through a ghost and goblinfilled maze on Halloween night. But that popular tradition nearly came to an end this year, were it not for the elderly couple’s love for children and their strong sense of community. Halloween had been a passion for their son Chris since he was a child, growing up on Car-

rville, a quiet country road in the early 1960s. “There was nothing here back then,” Ilse remembers. “Just cows.” Werner, who’d been a boat-builder, built a home with help from his tradesmen friends and it was a great place to raise a family, with ski and toboggan hills across the street. But times have changed. Today the cozy house is surrounded by condos, subdivisions, shopping centres – and traffic. For years, Chris and his parents have opened See page 14.

Hillcrest Mall expansion brings big brand stores Mobile fashion truck to offer prizes Kim Zarzour

kzarzour@yrmg.com

Hillcrest Mall is celebrating the launch of its new south wing Oct. 20 with the opening of two new stores, Sporting Life and H&M. They will be joined by more newcomers, Aritzia and Pandora, set to open in November. It’s part of the Richmond Hill shopping centre’s retail re-focusing strategy. Hillcrest general manager Brian Marentette said the “small mall renaissance” means Hillcrest can offer the big brands shoppers want, in a comfortable local environment. The boutique-sized centre will offer ample parking and special attention to guest services, such as last year’s Santa’s Holiday Haven and the Olympic Lounge during the Rio 2016 Olympics. To celebrate the recent renovation and new collection of retailers, Hillcrest will hit the

streets next week with an experiential pop-up truck featuring curated fall and winter fashion selected by key retailers. From Oct. 26 to 28, from 4 to 8 p.m. and Oct. 29 from 1 to 5 p.m., the truck will visit a number of high-traffic locations in Richmond Hill, tweeting out its location every 30 minutes via @ Shop_Hillcrest. Pop-up truck visitors will have the chance to win one of the five outfits valued from $500 to $1,000.

METROLAND SPECIAL SERIES

Hundreds of thousands of Canadian children are growing up in poverty. In Ontario, more than 370,000 children (or 13.8 per cent) lived in a low-income household in 2013, only slightly better than the national average of 14.3 per cent. Studies suggest poverty limits a child’s future. It often means food insecurity, an inability to fully participate at school, a lack of positive activities and difficulty accessing services such as eye and dental care, event post-secondary education. According to UNICEF, the child poverty rate for industrial countries ranges from five per cent in Iceland to 25 per cent in Romania. Canada sits in the middle. In 1989, the federal government vowed to eradicate child poverty by the year 2000, yet little progress has been made. Many — too many — kids in Ontario are growing up poor. Why? How do we fix it? jonathan Zettel

Growing Up Poor: Child Poverty in Ontario Growing Up Poor: Child Poverty in Ontario is a Metroland Media Special Investigative Series, by reporters Jonathan Zettel, Reka Szekely, Todd Vandonik and Melinda Cheevers, that spotlights child poverty and to looks behind it to reveal problems and identify solutions from Social Planning Toronto, the Alliance for a Poverty-Free Toronto and its sister alliances. While 14 per cent of Ontarians live in poverty, that number rises to 18 per cent when only children under the age of 18 are considered, the 2012 report said. Although York had the fifth highest family income in Canada, 12.7 per cent of residents and 14.8 per cent of residents under 18 live in poverty. The numbers vary by community. In the neighbourhoods that are part of the federal riding of Markham-Unionville, for example, 17.2 per cent of the total population and 22.5 per cent of children and youth live below the poverty line. In York-Simcoe to the north, 8.3 per cent of residents live in poverty Despite having some of the wealthiest residents in Ontario, York has a growing number of lowincome residents, a regional report found. The report also found: • Most low-income families are couples with children under the age of 18. However, single parents face the highest risk of becoming low income. • Most low-income families work for a living and are homeowners. • Many low-income families and individuals are at risk of homelessness. • 112,165 residents, or 12.7 per cent of York Region residents, live

in low-income households • Children under 15 account for 23 per cent or 25,975 of low-income residents. Youth aged 15 to 24 make up another 16 per cent. Lesley Mansfield, executive director of the Halton Learning Foundation, works with the Halton Board of Education, which has 60,000 students in 102 schools, 10 per cent of whom are at or below the poverty line. While Halton is among the more affluent regions in Ontario, Mansfield said poverty exists although, on many levels, remains hidden. “Poverty is here. It’s right around the corner from you. We have kids who share a pair of shoes with their parents. We have kids who the father is not around and the mother has some mental issues of her own and then you have two kids, basically taking care of themselves and coming to school with a can of Coke for lunch,” she said. About 200 kilometres north of Halton in the rural town of Hanover, Bev Gateman works out of what used to be a supply closet at the local high school. She and an army of volunteer

are responsible for feeding 12,000 students a day through 73 school breakfast programs under the provincial banner, Ontario Student Nutrition Program. The program offers nutritional meals developed to fit the needs of individual schools and receives about 14 cents per student, per day in government funding. Over the years, Gateman said the stigma of poverty has slowly lessened. When she first started in the late 1990s, some schools wouldn’t let her in because they claimed they did not have children coming to school hungry. Likewise, some parents would not let their children into the breakfast programs. The key, she said, was to focus on nutrition not hunger. “We are bringing nutrition into the schools and what kid doesn’t need more nutrition,” she said, adding the meals include at least three of the four food groups, including whole grains, dairy, fresh fruit and vegetables. These programs, Gateman said, have a direct impact on students’ ability to learn.

“If I’m thinking about the last thing I had to eat was last night and you are talking about literacy or about my homework, I am not paying attention. All I am thinking about is my stomach,” she said.

Angela grew up poor and was determined to make a better life for herself. She owned a construction business with her husband, but in 2009, after he beat her during a night of drinking, she left with her three children. Angela, who agreed to speak to us anonymously, said she never expected to wind up with “three kids on the street, basically looking for the kindness of strangers to help me out.” The local women’s shelter would not admit boys older than 12 and Angela’s oldest was 15. That night in the emergency room, a nurse offered her a basement apartment. Since then, Angela and her three children, who live in Owen Sound, have come face-to-face with poverty and learned first-hand how it undermines opportunities to rebuild. In addition to lacking money for a car, telephone or food, Angela worries about her children’s mental and physical health. Stress, anger, anxiety and a sense of isolation, coupled with the poor-quality, processed, high-carbohydrate diet provided by food banks have led to asthma, stomach problems and poor immunity. “I couldn’t figure out why they were sick all the time,” she said, adding she would be called away from work frequently to tend to ill children, which made it hard to hold down a job. Angela’s three children struggled with school and missed out on school trips and extracurricular activities because even $5 for pizza day was out of reach. Housing was also a problem and the family has moved frequently. In one instance, Angela asked her landlord if he could supply her with a letter of residence so that she could apply for social assistance - instead he gave her an eviction notice because he didn’t want “that type of people living there.” Poverty in general and child poverty in particular is higher in many 905 communities than the provincial average, according to a report

Notice of Study Completion municiPAl clASS enviRonmentAl ASSeSSment

Flood Remediation Study yonge Street and elgin mills Road - Flood vulnerable Area The Town of Richmond Hill has completed a Class Environmental Assessment to select a preferred option to remediate existing surface flooding during the Regional storm in the Yonge Street and Elgin Mills Road Flood Vulnerable Area along German Mills Creek. The Study Area is located approximately between Levendale Road to the south, Elgin Mills Road to the north, Jacey Anne Drive to the west and Newkirk Road to the east as identified in the key plan below. The scope of the Study included the review and evaluation of flood remediation options to reduce or eliminate the Regional floodplain and the selection of the preferred alternative. This study was conducted as a ‘Schedule B’ project in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process, which is an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act (amended in 2015). This Study will support the Town of Richmond Hill Official Plan policies with respect to development within this Flood Vulnerable Area. Based on the evaluation of options, the preferred alternative is Option 3A-2 which consists of (1) the installation of an additional 5m wide box culvert along Elgin Mills Road from the existing culvert located west of Yonge Street to the new proposed channel east of Yonge Street on the south side of Elgin Mills Road (existing culvert to remain); (2) the removal of approximately 90m of the existing culvert crossing Elgin Mills Road and Yonge Street at the downstream end; (3) the widening of a channel (12m to 20m top width) extending from Elgin Mills Road to north of Industrial Road; (4) the installation of a 16m wide box culvert from north of Industrial Road to the east side of Enford Road (existing culvert to be removed); (5) the installation of a 12m wide box culvert immediately east of the Enford Road ROW; and, (6) the widening of an existing channel north of the existing SWM pond (20m top width). The preferred flood mitigation strategy virtually eliminates flooding within the study area in order to facilitate development intensification along with the identified social and economic benefits while creating opportunities to improve the existing Natural Heritage System. A Project File Report documenting the study process, the recommended design alternative solution, and the design concept has been prepared and is available for public review from 27 October 2016 until 28 November 2016 at the following location: Town of Richmond Hill Development Engineering Division Planning and Regulatory Services Dept. 225 East Beaver Creek Road, 4th Floor Richmond Hill, ON L4B 3P4 Interested persons should provide written comments to the contacts listed below to identify any concerns or request further information.

Protecting Students Act long overdue

uch needed, long-delayed legislation is making another appearance at Queen’s Park. Last week, Education Minister Mitzie Hunter announced she is reviving legislation that would automatically fire teachers convicted of sex abuse or child pornography offences. Now, one would be forgiven for assuming that would be the automatic result of a teacher committing those crimes. It is not. A few years ago, a Toronto Star investigative series revealed that the Ontario College of Teachers was not only making decisions on discipline in secret, but could elect not to revoke a teaching certificate. Some teachers guilty of sexual misconduct or abusive behaviour were simply being moved to other schools. Others kept their licence for years while waiting for a hearing, due to a huge backlog in cases. And some were able to confess to less serious offences and escape with a lesser penalty. The revelations sparked an investigation by retired Justice Patrick LeSage and his report led to legislation introduced in 2013. It was shelved due to the provincial election a year later. Last May it returned, but the legislature was prorogued, prompting another delay. Hunter is taking another swing at this and let’s hope this bill, the Protecting Students Act 2016, has finally jumped all of the hurdles in its path. “This legislation responds to the rare occurrence that may occur, and is making sure that we have a process that is decisive and moves quickly to take action on anything in a fair and transparent way,” Hunter said. To its credit, the college has acted to increase its transparency during the past few years. But it’s hard to imagine any parents opposing the mandated firing of teachers convicted of serious sex abuse or child porn offences. This is a long overdue step to help ensure that our students are in as safe a school environment as possible.

SOCIAL MEDIA On residents urged to support Hwy. 400, 404 link by Oct. 31. Kent Elliott People who travel from the west side of the lake to east end of Toronto know this route should’ve already been built. The question is why is not already done. Shannon Crane-Dickson So a toll road? Ya that’s awesome. Won’t really affect the traffic in our area because I’d assume most wouldn’t pay to use it. Too much population growth with severely outdated infrastructure everywhere you turn.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Gender evolution lacks equality, respect Re: LANGUAGE MATTERS: When gender collides with words, Sept. 22 Gender ideology threatens our society’s ability to think rationally, speak freely and live safely. Here’s a practical example: in a public swimming pool, a highschool swim team of teen girls enters a female change room before practice. A moment later, a 55-year-old man walks in and tells the girls that he has a female gender identity, so he has the right to change with them. Upset about their loss of privacy, the girls appeal to the pool manager to let them change without the man. Mindful of “gender rights”, the manager sends twenty girls to a family room with a twoperson capacity, so that the male can have the female change room all to himself. The principles of gender ideology hold that the girls are hateful, intolerant and insensitive by refusing to change with the man, while the male with a female gender identity is

the victim here, simply asking for inclusion and equality. In plain language, the feelings of one person, based on a highly subjective state of mind overrule the feelings of a group, acting in accordance with their natural gender identity. This constitutes an overturning of logic, fairness and the right to safety since the man’s claims do not have to be supported by any empirical evidence, while based on a highly dubious psychological evidence of “fluid gender identity”. We need to be sensitive and tolerant, but we cannot be brainwashed with an ideology full of contradictions and lacking scientific evidence. When public safety, our rights to keep our jobs while defending common sense, our basic freedoms and simple fairness are at stake, we must engage in a debate instead of muzzling one side of the debate with accusations of bigotry, phobia and hate speech. It would be very un-Canadian - and very authoritarian - to allow a small minority trample the rights of the vast majority. There is neither equality, nor

respect in this gender evolution.

Middle East immigrants stringently vetted Re: Here’s hoping Canada gets leader like Trump, letter to the editor by Edan Orvitz, Oct. 13. I am extremely disappointed that your paper would print a letter with such inaccuracies and without verifying the facts. The Muslim immigrant who allegedly murdered five women at a mall in Washington was U.S. citizen, while the Muslim immigrant who stabbed nine shoppers in a Minnesota mall was legally in the U.S. All immigrants from the Middle East are stringently vetted by both the U.N. and Canadian authorities, as are those who enter the U.S. The letter itself is tantamount to a hate letter. I have referred the letter to the appropriate Canadian authorities

York libraries get $70K for technology

Transit Project Assessment Process - Public Meetings Our Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) is now home to nearly 7 million people – heading towards 10 million by 2041. This growth is a sign of success and opportunity. But as we grow, so too must our transportation network – the lifeblood that connects this great region and each of our communities. Metrolinx, an agency of the Government of Ontario, is bringing more transit and more connections to more places within the GTHA. Every community transit project, big or small, plays a vital role in the regional transportation system. We want to share our plans and get your feedback. Starting in November we will be hosting community open houses to share information and updates on three of Metrolinx’s projects to build new track and electrification infrastructure. We will be seeking your input on these specific plans and feedback on proposed mitigation strategies: GO Rail Network Electrification Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) (Hydro One as co-proponents): gotransit.com/electrification • Environmental Baseline Condition Reports have been prepared, Impact Assessment Reports to evaluate potential environmental effects of the project are underway, and stakeholder consultation is in progress. The project is currently in the Pre-Planning Phase of the TPAP. • The focus of this round of public meetings will be to provide an update on the project and conceptual design of the Traction Power Supply and Distribution components. Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion TPAP: metrolinx.com/RERBarrie • The environmental assessment studies are prepared, which include a detailed overview of impacts to evaluate the environmental effects of the preliminary design. The project is currently in the Pre-Planning Phase. • The focus of this round of public meetings will be to provide an update on the project and seek feedback on the environmental impacts.

Ontario is helping libraries by offering access to more technology. Ontario is celebrating Public Library Week by funding three libraries and their boards in York Region, to the tune of $70,000. The increased technology will help entice more people to engage in reading and learning at the local libraries, as well as support public training on topics such as social media, Internet use for beginners and computer literacy. “Investing in our public libraries to improve digital and IT services will ensure communities can provide upto-date technology that will enhance the learning experience for those who use this resource,” said Vaughan MPP Steven Del Duca. The investment will build library hubs that are essential spaces for access to cultural experiences, technology and community life. — Samantha Maasland

Lakeshore East-Don River to Scarborough Expansion TPAP: metrolinx.com/DonRiverScarborough • The project is currently in the Pre-Planning Phase with existing conditions studies completed. • The focus of this round of public meetings will be on existing conditions. These meetings will also include information on the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) which guides the work being done to transform the transportation network in the GTHA. A review of the RTP is underway, providing the opportunity to formally incorporate new insights into the plan, while ensuring we maintain momentum on the projects underway. Information updates on other key studies and projects in your neighbourhood will also be provided. We invite you to join us in person at the public meeting nearest you to find out more.

Local artist William Ho has been chosen to create a memorial statue for Richmond Hill’s cenotaph. The statue, depicting a veteran seated on a bench or standing and saluting, is valued at $125,000 and will be funded through the Mayor’s Charity Golf Tournaments and the Mayor’s Endowment Reserve Fund. Mayor Dave Barrow said the statue will honour veterans of the First Word War, Second World War and Canada’s peacekeeping missions as well those who have contributed to Canadian democracy. “As people get older, we are losing a lot of our veterans,” he said, adding the town is working with the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion on the cenotaph project. The installation will include an inscription from The Aeneid by Virgil: “No day will ever erase you from the memory of time.” The memorial statue is expected to be completed for 2018. The cenotaph, located at 10100 Yonge St. in front of the former Richmond Hill Public School, now McConaghy Seniors Centre, was erected in 1923 and is one of the oldest war memorials in the GTA. Work has also been underway throughout the summer to repair and renovate the structure. The town approved $150,000 in capital funding to repair the aging cenotaph, including cleaning, repointing the stonework and foundation work on the front steps leading up to the colonnade. Space will be added to allow for more soldiers’ names and one misspelled name, inadvertently discovered by amateur photographer Ross Toms, is being corrected. William Ho, commissioned to create the sculpture, is an internationally renowned artist, Goodwill Ambassador, founder of the One Heart Beat around the World movement (a global movement to help needy people and suffering children of the world through art, culture and relief work), humanitarian and environmentalist. Ho also created the Love, Hope, Harmony and People sculpture, unveiled in 2013 at

Pick of the Week:The Confidential Musical Something unique is coming to York Region on Oct. 28. The Confidential Musical Theatre Project will make its debut at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and will feature a cast of 17 performers and one musical director. The catch? The full length, two-anda-half-hour musical will be performed without having been previously rehearsed. One hour before show time, the chosen cast will meet for the first time before going

out on stage. Performers interested in taking part previously submitted names, resumes and a video of themselves - without knowing what they were auditioning for. The directorial team then selected the cast and sent each individual a script to prepare their performances on their own. No formal auditions, rehearsals, costumes, sets or special effects will be used during the show. The only rule? They can’t stop perform-

ing at any time throughout the show, no matter what. Audiences are invited to indulge in the exciting musical, which will portray genuine acting, singing and even dance performances. The show runs 7 to 10:30 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www. confidentialproject.com. — Brea Bartholet Pick of the Week features York Region and area entertainment, cultural and community events.

We are not a Halloween costume: First Nations Heidi Riedner

hriedner@yrmg.com

The time has come to stop dressing up as an “Indian” for Halloween, according to First Nations people, who say they are not a costume. On the heels of the recent debate over whether the Cleveland Indians name and Chief Wahoo mascot is racist or merely anachronistic, First Nations people and other are now using the hashtag #notacostume in addition to #notyourmascot hashtag generated after long-time Toronto Blue Jays’ broadcaster Jerry Howarth explained why he has refused to use First Nations nicknames since the 1992 World Series, when Toronto defeated Atlanta. While civil liberties groups raise the issue of censorship and the fine line of juggling cultural sensitivity with freedom of expression, First Nations advocates say costumes like “Reservation Royalty” for adults or the sanitized Disney version of

Pocahontas as princess for children perpetuate harmful stereotypes and stigmas regardless if they are chosen with good intentions or not. You may think a “costume” pays homage or shows respect, but Lakehead University’s chair of truth and reconciliation and former Chippewas of Georgina Island resident Cynthia Wesley-Esquimaux says the exact opposite is true. “It is a matter of respect, whether it is an Indian, Gypsy or Spanish ‘princess’ costume. If someone wants to come to a pow wow, dressed in a beautiful shawl, no one is going to say you can’t or you are not welcome to share in our culture. But on Halloween, it is mostly done for humour and parody, and that lacks respect, is offensive and does not acknowledge this country’s history in the larger context of truth and reconciliation.” They are symbols, ultimately, of the oppression and violence that occurred on this land to make indig-

First Nations people are using the hashtag #notacostume to protest Halloween costumes they say perpetuate harmful stereotypes. enous people go away, says Suzanne Smoke of Biindigen Healing and Arts. A member of the Alderville First Nation and an advocate for missing and murdered Aboriginal women, Smoke says Canadians have been trained and taught to ignore and devalue the worth of indigenous peoples and women are doubly oppressed. “I think it is time Canadians re-evaluate their treatment of First Nation peoples and teach their children the true value of human life, respect, inclusion and tolerance for the sovereign peo-

ples whose land they now reside upon.” It is other people’s lives you are wearing, she says. It is cultural appropriation; misuses the traditional dress, regalia and spiritual practices of an oppressed group; is hurtful to indigenous peoples; and harmful to larger issues surrounding identity and inequality. The real Pocahontas was kidnapped, raped and “married” to her 50-year-old captor at the age of 11 before her death at the age of 21. “I think if parents knew the real story, they would not support the costume

and basically the subjugation of, and sexual violence against, women that it ultimately represents,” WesleyEsquimaux says. In addition, the fetishizing and eroticizing of First Nations women is a slap in the face to the fact that one out of three will experience rape in their lifetime. “Our women are sacred and to be devalued for 500 years has led to the over 4,520 missing, murdered and taken indigenous women in this country,” Smoke says. We s l e y - E s q u i m a u x hopes people will think beyond their costumes and

reflect on the messages they may be sending and actively question and challenge social norms, including the costumes we deem acceptable. “It is about reconciliation, as well, and the mindless perpetuation of these stereotypes - and they are stereotypes,” she says, adding, however, she honestly believes we can come together in a good way, acknowledging the truths of history and residential schools, the socioeconomic issues facing First Nations people today and the individual roles not only responsible for creating the divisions, but also for meaningful dialogue moving forward. Smoke says the costumes devalue a whole race of people and are simply wrong. “They do not honour us in any way, shape or form,” she says. “Oppressors can say get over it, but when you devalue a whole race, then the vital, traditional ecological knowledge we carry becomes lost.”

Richmond Hill - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection.

you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

For Roberta Overholt, a mother of three who helps countless children get to school everyday, walking is just a normal occurrence. She helps run the Walking School Bus at Brampton’s Morton Way Public School, which sees more than 100 participants. “It’s a program to promote children actually walking to school instead of having their parents drive them,” she said. While this has physical and environmental benefits, it also helps keep the children safe. “They know that they have to watch their surroundings. They know who to look for when we’re out walking,” Overholt said. Plus, walking in a group is safer than walking alone. Keeping a child safe is on every parent’s mind, particularly after a near miss caught on video earlier this school year went viral. A 10-yearold girl in Pickering almost

who might be harder to spot in darkness. While driving according to the weather and daylight conditions and following the rules of the road will help minimize the risk of collision, police are reminding pedestrians that they too must

ensure their own safety. Be visible and pay attention, said Peel Regional Police Constable Mark Fischer. “Wear reflective clothing, reflective bands, footwear, jackets, anything is helpful,” he said. “Put your cell phone away. Just like distracted driving, there’s distracted walking that can cause injuries.” When it’s raining, use an umbrella. “Then you can keep your eyes up and you don’t need to be looking down,” Fischer said. Children should walk in groups. Walking in a group makes you more visible to drivers, but also makes you less likely to be approached by a dangerous stranger, Fischer said. Children should avoid crossing in between intersections, and should stick to crosswalks, or lighted intersections to cross the road. Toronto-based Parachute, a national charity dedicated to safety awareness and education, tells parents that educating children about road

safety starts with them. “Parents knowing the rules of the road and being a really good role model is important,” Parachute interim CEO Pam Fuselli said. “I think parents underestimate how much of an impact their own behaviours have on their own children. So make sure that you do cross the road at the stop sign or the crosswalk or on a green light, versus running across the road mid-block.” Children should be taught the various rules of the road at the appropriate stages of their development. For example, a young child will need to hold hands to cross the road, and an older child will need to know which roads are safe and which are too busy to cross. “Doing that over time as they age, then they develop those habits as they grow. Unfortunately, it isn’t a onetime thing. It’s over time and repeatedly,” she said. Paisley Canada can help pedestrians become more visible in the dark. The com-

Children can be safe by being visible on Halloween

The Liberal | Thursday, October 27, 2016 |

1,000 trick-or-treaters visit Richmond Hill home annually From page 1.

up their yard for a creepy Halloween display raising money and awareness for autism – last year collecting $850 in donations. Visitors wind through their haunted graveyard, with Chris’s son and his friends jumping out for extra frights; a circusthemed tent, projection screen and games provide fun for younger kids. Since the beginning of September, Chris has been hard at work planning this year’s event, tinkering in his dad’s workshop out back filled with freaky paraphernalia. Ilse looked forward to dressing up and

taking part, too, as she does every year. “I love to see the children’s faces.” It’s rewarding, she says, to see 1,000 trick-or-treaters flock to their home, driving all the way down from Oak Ridges and even Aurora, so many visitors that cars line up and down the road. They set up pylons and volunteers to ensure everyone is safe on this increasingly busy street. And that’s where the problem is. Carrville isn’t the same as it used to be – as they discovered one evening earlier this month. Ilse and Werner had gone out for dinner at their favourite Allencourt fish and chips shop. In order to pull into their driveway, the

Wanschuras must drive around the boulevard on Carrville, making a U-turn back towards their house. They’ve done it for years, and have always been very careful, but this time, a car raced up behind them. It was driving very, very fast. “He hit us from behind,” Werner recalls. “Oh, the noise. It was like a rocket. There was a truck right in front of us. I didn’t want to hit him. I tried to turn the wheel.” Everything was chaos and then everything was quiet. They realized they were alive, but hurt. A neighbour – they only know his first name was Mohammed and he was a doctor – ran to the car, telling Ilse not to move,

her spine could be injured. Another couple who lived nearby called 911 and stayed with them until the ambulance took them away. The Wanschuras consider themselves lucky. They were hospitalized but their injuries were not serious. Ilse had to have her four front teeth pulled. Werner had just passed his annual driver’s test before the accident; now he will likely never drive again. Chris assumed Halloween would be cancelled for them this year, but his parents wouldn’t hear of it. It is, they said, too important. Their community may be changing, but some things need to stay the same.

Joe Roberts is walking across Canada to raise awareness about the issue of youth homelessness in this country as part of the Push for Change campaign.

ON NOW AT THE BRICK!

Supplied

Kim Zarzour

kzarzour@yrmg.com

Joe Roberts was once a homeless youth, heroin-addicted, living under a bridge on Vancouver’s downtown east side. Today, he has transformed his life and is trekking across the country to save other youth from a similar fate. The millionaire philanthropist has embarked on a mission: pushing a shopping cart 9,000 kilometres, from Newfoundland to Vancouver, to raise $17 million and increase awareness for the issue of youth homelessness. He arrives at the Sheraton Parkway Hotel in Richmond Hill this weekend, part of a Rotary Club event raising money for York Region’s 360° kids shelter. We met up with him as he reached Cobourg - and the $130,000 mark in fundraising - to ask him about his experience thus far. Q: Why did you choose to do a cross-country walk? Hasn’t this been done many times before? A: Yes, it’s been done before, but there’s a reason why it keeps being done. Canadians love it, the idea of sacrificing to traverse the entire country. This format works. But in order to be relevant you have to connect with local groups and engage with them in keeping the message forefront. Q: What is the message? A: I want people to know how easily it can happen and what the root causes are: family conflict, mental health, early childhood trauma. That kid you see sitting on a piece of cardboard on the sidewalk was once sitting in a classroom and is now trapped in drugs or gangs or the sex trade. We need to enlist the school system to get

the resources to help before these kids leave home, and then we need to support groups like 360° kids which is the last bastion of hope and dignity for them. 360° kids is one of the leaders in understanding the issues of youth homelessness and how to address it in a systemic way. They know that only through collaboration can we reduce or prevent homelessness. It’s going to take civic groups, children’s aid, law enforcement, health and education all working together. Q: You set out May 1 in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Tell us about the highlights and lowlights of your trek so far. A: Taking part in the Royal Nova Scotian Tattoo Canada Day parade in Halifax was definitely a highlight, and so was being greeted by Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner J.V.N. (Vince) Hawkes and Walter Gretzky as I crossed the Quebec border into Ontario. But the best so far was chatting with a homeless youth in Montreal. He was so inspired by this project that he asked if he could tag along with me across the country. The most difficult part is having to deal with high-level of commitment, being one and a half years on the road with limited personal life, the physical and emotional strain, staying tethered to the reason why I am doing this. Q. You’ve still got a long way to go before you finish until Sept. 30, 2017 - and winter is coming. Are you worried about how you’ll push a shopping cart through the cold and snow? A: Winter will definitely be different, but it’s nothing that good gear and a slower pace can’t handle. And the hardship I face is nothing compared to the hardship of life on the street.

Lions win YRAA seven’s title Michael Hayakawa

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

With just two starters returning from last year’s squad that won the York Region Athletic Association senior boys’ seven’s rugby title it would seem remote that the St. Theresa of Lisieux Lions could successfully retain this year’s championship. But when the Lions took the Fletcher’s Field pitch in Markham for the final day of the fall seven’s campaign, it was a case of mission accomplished. Facing their three First Flight rivals, the Lions defeated Bill Crothers Secondary School Colts 19-7, Dr. J.M. Denison Huskies 14-7 and Stouffville District Secondary School Spartans 26-5 in their finale. Patrick Lipski scored two tries for the Lions against Stouffville while David Per-

tilli and Adam Joe each had one. Dante Asselin kicked three conversions. “It sure feels fantastic,” said an elated Lions’ head coach George Azar in winning a second straight YRAA title. In accounting for his club’s success, Azar largely attributed it to the players’ dedication. “I’ve got a great group of kids who work hard. We had an extra practice session and did a video session to go over our mistakes and they peaked at the right time,” he said. “I knew the boys would be up for the challenge. They really wanted (the title).” Azar was also quick to credit their second senior boys’ team, which during the season under the new seeding format moved up three levels into the second flight. With a fairly competitive second team, he said they

helped prepare the first team during practices. In winning the title, the Lions along with Dr. J.M. Denison will represent the YRAA at the Ontario Cup, which will be played at Fletcher’s Field Oct. 26. The Huskies took the second YRAA berth after Bill Crothers, who originally finished second in the First Flight, had to decline as they will be in fall break next week. Azar acknowledged his club will be challenged in facing other top seven’s high school teams from across the province. “Just to get out of the YRAA is a challenge. For that you have to give kudos to Bill Crothers, Denison, Stouffville and even Newmarket High School, who just got relegated to Flight Two last week. They’ve all given us good competition,” Azar said.

The cold temperatures and bitter wind didn’t stop a BSL Awareness group from protesting in front of the head office of the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) on the border of Newmarket and Whitchurch-Stouffville Saturday. Their action was a response to what the group considers unfair treatment of dogs under breed specific legislation (BSL), specifically the OSPCA euthanization order for 21 dogs seized in Chatham-Kent last year from an alleged dog-fighting ring. The protestors strongly believe there are other options available for the dogs of various pit bull breeds. In a press release issued Feb. 17, the OSPCA stated that “euthanasia of any animal is always a last resort. It is a decision made after consultation with experts and after all options for the health and safety of the public and of the animals have been exhausted.” But the protest organizer, who prefers to be known by her BSL Awareness pseudonym “Zelda”, says the OSPCA has not considered the same options her group has. “They can either go to Animal

Protesters rally in front of the OSPCA office just outside of Newmarket on Woodbine Avenue in support of pitbull dogs seized in Chatham-Kent more than a year ago. The OSPCA has petitioned the court to kill the majority of these dogs. Justice in the US or Dog Tales Rescue and Sanctuary in King City,” Zelda said. “We’re asking for a third party assessment of the dogs, we know that maybe not all of them

might be able to go through rehab, but there are other options we’re looking at rather

than euthanizing the dogs.” Animal Justice is an advocacy group in the United States that

fights for the legal rights of animals. But a closer option right here in York Region is Dog Tales Rescue and Sanctuary who, after opening just under two years ago, has already found homes for 700 dogs, says media director Clare Forndran. “We’re here today because we’ve been fighting for over a year now to take in the 21 dogs,” Forndran said. “We can take them in, rehabilitate them and eventually find them loving homes.” “It’s quite a shame that due to delays in the court system, the dogs have been in limbo for over a year when we were willing to take them in,” she added. A court date of Nov. 3 is set in Chatham, Ont. to determine the fate of the dogs. The BSL Awareness group intends to protest outside the court on that day. Ultimately, the group wants to end BSL. “We need better laws in Ontario,” Zelda said. “BSL does nothing for public safety, all dogs bite; we need to start aiming for better education and responsible ownership.”

Pinterest-worthy window treatments for every room in your home

spaces. Pick a high-quality, durable window treatment that can withstand the steam from hot showers and offers both privacy and light control.

Bedroom

Windows let in natural sunlight, keep out nosy neighbours and create instant style in any room. Yet we often forget to pay as much attention to window treatments as we would to any other decorative or functional element. Use this handy guide to make a statement with the windows in every room of your home.

Kitchen Probably the most popular room in your home, this ought to be a welcoming environment with durable materials that’ll stand up to frequent cleaning from spills and cooking messes, so look for these qualities in a window treatment as well. Create a space for cozy conversations and comfortable meals

with a window seat. Get the look for less with a freestanding bench, or try your hand at a DIY version.

Bathroom Don’t forget one of the spaces guests are sure to visit. Use it as an opportunity to incorporate one of 2016’s hottest trends — bathrooms that feel like living

Between sleeping and relaxing, this is the room where you spend the most time in — at home, or anywhere else. Ensure the window treatments meet your privacy and light control needs. If you work the nightshift or find it difficult to get a good night’s rest, opt for room darkening shades that’ll let you sleep in even when the sun’s up.

Living room Window treatments for your living or family room are definitely not one size fits all — you’ll want to customize them

to fit the form and function of the space. If your window doubles as a patio door, vertical shades are your best bet for easy access. Choose lighter colours and flatter fashions for smaller rooms, create depth with layers or build a window cornice for extra elegance. Hang window treatments from the ceiling instead of where the window begins to make the room look larger.

mals. The Region of York and the Town of Richmond Hill are significant road salt contributors to the Lake Wilcox watershed. In recent years, the creation of new local roads, changes to salting practices and new townmaintained facilities such as the Oak Ridges Community Centre parking lot have added to the problem, the report said. Environment Canada provides municipalities with guidance to minimize the use of road salt while ensuring enough material to maintain public safety, the report said. Municipalities are also required to report salt use and submit annual salt management plans. The staff report said Richmond Hill is committed to reducing salt use, especially in the Lake Wilcox watershed, and plans to discuss with the region ways to address the issue on regional roads, as well. A business case for an updated Lake Wilcox Management Plan, outlining the town’s goals for the lake and solutions that will help preserve it for future generations, is expected to come forward as part of the 2017 capital budget deliberations. The report ends on a positive note. With improved water quality, it said, the number of fish species and predator/ prey ratio has improved to healthy levels, fish habitat has increased and lake clarity is improving. “Today, despite increased development, Lake Wilcox is a healthier and more balanced lake than it has been over the past 20 years.”

Call it the Comeback Kid. Lake Wilcox has seen the best of times, and the worst of times. For years, it was the local swimming hole, the cottage getaway and favourite weekend training spot for Toronto triathletes. And for years, it was the dumping ground for cottage septics and agricultural runoff, oxygen-starved fish eating each other, swimmers complaining of skin itch and worse. Today, the 140-acre lake in Oak Ridges is enjoying a bit of a revival. A report presented this week to Richmond Hill councillors says Lake Wilcox, the largest kettle lake in the Oak Ridges Moraine, is doing well -- relatively speaking. The lake, located south of Bloomington, between Bayview and Yonge, is filled with life - both in the water with diverse and sensitive biological communities, and around it with recreational opportunities such as trails, canoeing and fishing. Over the past 50 years, land use around Lake Wilcox has changed significantly, the staff report said. Once surrounded by forests, then farms, the area transitioned in the 1950s and 1960s to a cottage community. Over time, the cottages’ septic tanks and tile beds leached into the lake, leading to an abundance of phosphorous deposits and other contaminants. Too much phosphorus in a lake can cause algae blooms, as witnessed numerous times over the

years, the report said. “In addition to being unsightly and odorous, when these blooms die, they decompose and consume large amounts of dissolved oxygen necessary for fish life.” The Lake Wilcox Remediation Strategy completed in 1996 provided a number of recommendations, including annual monitoring, stewardship activities and pilot projects for in-lake treatment of phosphorus. With those actions, phosphorus levels have been decreasing, the report notes, but still remains 25 per cent higher than provincial water quality objectives and for this reason continues to be a “contaminant of concern”. Further threats to the lake’s health began increasing in the early 2000s when development in the area intensified, bringing with it more hard surfaces such as roads, roofs and paved areas. “This results in increased runoff containing pollutants such as sediment and nutrients from residential areas, higher water temperatures from pavement/asphalt warming, less infiltration and greater runoff volumes,” the report said. “All of these changes can alter a lake’s condition and health.” Thanks to road salt and salt-based de-icers, chloride is now the big concern for Lake Wilcox, according to the staff report, and it will become a focus of lake management strategies going forward. Chloride is a common problem in most urban lakes and at elevated concentrations, it can be toxic to aquatic plants and ani-

For two years, the female patient suffered from irregular menstrual cycles. Doctors were about to explore assisted fertility options when she became pregnant on her own. In another case, fertility specialists were stumped as to why another female patient could not conceive - until a recording of rain shower sounds was enough to get her in the mood and get the job done naturally. Those treated by Dr. Gabriela Mastromonaco arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your typical patients seeking reproductive assistance. They are housed in Scarboroughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Toronto Zoo, specifically selected for artificial insemination in hopes of producing offspring to keep the numbers of their species up and, if possible, releasing these animals back into their natural habitats. According to the Toronto Zoo, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only Canadian zoo with a reproduc-

tive physiologist on staff. Located within the Animal Health Centre, the reproductive physiology unit is made up of two laboratories, the endocrinology lab and gamete biology lab, where staff, students and visiting scientists work together to investigate fundamental problems related to reproduction in non-domestic species. The goal is to assist with the care and management of captive and free-ranging populations in an effort to maintain reproductive health and ensure the preservation of genetic diversity. Mastromonaco, curator of the Meadowvale Road and Old Finch Avenue zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reproductive programs and research, said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always preferred for animals to breed on their own, but for a number of reasons - some known, some not - that might be easier said than done. There could be behavioural or medical issues at play, or lack of a male paramour, in which case semen would have to be flown in.

Very much similar to fertility testing humans go through, animal hormones are tested in a lab to look for abnormalities, cycles are monitored, and semen is collected to freeze for insemination, Mastromonaco said, adding she works with more than 50 species a year. And like humans, animals can go on birth control pills the same women would use if the zoo isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trying to breed a particular species, she said, adding the gorillas are currently on contraception. The Toronto Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reproductive program, which began in 1988 (prior to this all breeding was done naturally), lends its support to other zoos, primarily within Canada, Mastromonaco said. And though sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been at the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helm for a decade, she still has a lot to learn about the reproductive health of the animals treated. The zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animals typically try to conceive on their own for two to three years

Jia Panpan and Jia Yueyue are the giant panda cubs at the Toronto Zoo. before Mastromonaco and her team step in, who will then evaluate â&#x20AC;&#x153;why babies arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coming,â&#x20AC;? she said. Sometimes the issue isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t physical. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as simple as creating the right atmosphere - hence the rain shower music. But as easy as that may sound, pinpointing fertility treatment and what works and what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t is still something Mastromonaco is figuring out. An Indian rhino calf lost a

pregnancy because she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough progesterone to sustain it. Cheetahs have undergone treatment for five or six years without producing offspring. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), an international organization focused in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources, has listed the Indian rhinoceros, polar bear, cheetah, and giant panda some of Toronto Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big-

gest draws - as vulnerable. Come next year, the reproductive program currently housed in two rooms inside a 40-year-old building will move into a state-of-theart facility, which will allow Mastromonaco and her staff more research equipment and space to house and transfer animals more easily, she said, adding the old site will be used as a curatorial lab. Bison insemination is the next â&#x20AC;&#x153;big projectâ&#x20AC;? for Mastromonaco, adding the zoo has kept 35-year-old bison sperm frozen in the lab. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as the samples are frozen, we can bring them back,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can breed across time and space.â&#x20AC;? The cost of artificially inseminating an animal is $500 to $600 a try, with invitro fertilization running $3,000 to $4,000 a pop. But, with certain species dangerously close to extinction, such as the Grevyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zebra, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put a priceâ&#x20AC;? on reproduction, she said.
