2016 HIGHS AND LOWS
5
YORK REGION STAFF newsroom@yrmg.com With 2016 over and done with, our reporters took some time to look back at some of the highs and lows that stood out over the past 12 months in York Region. York Region High: Democracy is finally coming to York Region’s top political job, now held by regional chair Wayne Emmerson. That was the comment from a pleased Newmarket-Aurora MPP Chris Ballard after the provincial government introduced legislation in November to make regional chairs elected. If adopted, as expected, the change will be in effect for the Oct. 22, 2018 municipal election.
The provincial government introduced legislation in November to make the position of regional chair an elected one. It could be enacted in time for the 2018 municipal election. Low: For many years, more than 2,000 lower income York Region residents annually have relied on the Housing Help Centre and Identification Clinic to help them find affordable housing and to secure much-needed documentation. But the region, the sole source of funding for the programs, is ending its $340,500 annual grant at the end of the year, forcing the centre to close its
doors. York Regional Police Low: On Aug. 29, an allegedly inebriated Christopher Singh, his baby in the back, crossed the centre line on 16th Avenue hitting and killing Markham’s Inoka Athuraliya-LiyanaWaduge, 42 and her daughter Savani Guruge, 4.
Savani Guruge was killed with her mother, Inoka AthuraliyaLiyana-Waduge, in a car crash in August. Markham High: York University is not only coming to Markham, it’s here. This year, the five-acre campus located at Rivis Road and Enterprise Boulevard in Downtown Markham went form a drawing on paper to stakes in the ground. The academic programs have been set and will have both a business and technology element. The new year will bring new classroom designs and plans for transportation and library services as well as the opening of the Innovation and Community Engagement hub. Low: There was a glimmer of hope that skating would resume at Toogood Pond in Unionville this winter. But no. Markham council got bogged down by insurance, risk and liability. A working group was setup to establish parameters for ice monitoring costing the city about $100,000 for about eight

Within a few weeks, Markham flipflopped on its decision and decided to stay with the status quo and not permit skating on Toogood Pond.
Despite some signs to the contrary, Markham council eventually decided against allowing skating on Toogood Pond. Richmond Hill High: After decades of discussion, council voted to move town hall back to the heart of Richmond Hill. Councillors agreed in September to build the longawaited civic centre in the downtown core at Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive. The $200-million project is expected to include an expanded library, public square, reflecting pool/skating rink and am-

Low: Residents were shocked by a string of deaths - suicides and domestic homicides - involving grown children with mental illness. Parents say it points to a dire need for good psychiatrists (to keep patients out of hospital) and more hospital beds to prevent premature discharge. Thornhill High: Community generosity was a high. York Region residents, including Thornhill organizers, raised money for the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Research Program at Toronto’s SickKids Hospital during October’s Walk for Andrea. A Thornhill kindness club raised money in August for a girl with Cerebral Palsy who needs surgeries and therapy. Low: Shaar Shalom synagogue closed its doors June 30 after 45 years. A former director from Leo Back Hebrew Day School was charged in connection with child pornography offences in California. An outbreak of norovirus hit Thornhill Woods Public School and other locations

in York Region. Vaughan High: Vaughan’s eyecatching Civic Centre Resource Library with its upward curving roof and walls made of glass and reflective metal opened its doors May 14. The $13.3million, 36,000-square-foot building boasts armchairs with sound-muffling privacy hoods, heated floors in the kids’ section and a Create It Space featuring a video room with green screens and a recording studio space with a sound mixing board plus more than 70,000 books and magazines.
Erin Reeder and her mom Moo were among the dozens of area residents who gathered at the Vaughan Civic Centre for the official opening of the city’s new cutting-edge library. Low: The Longo’s grocery store at Weston Road and Rutherford Road in Woodbridge was forced to close for more than two weeks following a massive blaze Sunday, May 29. It was allegedly started by a pair of teens - a 15-year-old from Bolton and a 14-yearold from Vaughan - lighting a bag of chips on fire and putting it back on the rack.

to the mobile washroom trailer instead of gifts. The trailer would be a first of its kind in York Region, and would be used in several events to accommodate people with disabilities. With a goal of $125,000, the mobile washroom trailer fund has reached $90,000 since the announcement this past summer. Truly a community effort. Low: It’s shaken confidence in town hall for some in the community. It was revealed in spring of this year that there were issues around town staff that led to an "exodus" of 30 employees. In addition to consistent shuffles of the CAO position, this story forced residents to re-examine their municipal government.
It was revealed this sping that approximately 30 employees have left the town’s employ since Jan. 1, 2015.

Since I have started my wills practice, I have done many wills for couples with young children. One couple, in particular, had such an impact on me that I decided to write an article about what parents with young children need to know about wills.

✔ Same-day emergencies ✔ Morning, evening and Saturday appointments available
While I was taking notes in our first meeting, the wife looked at me and said “we have been wanting to do this for so long, but we put it off, and now I can finally sleep at night.” The husband then said “since our first child was born, we’ve always been worried about what would happen to our children if we were in a catastrophic accident. We feel so much better that this is being done.”
Michelle Kotzer What happens if you pass away without a will leaving young children? Firstly, there is no executor in place to look after your estate on your death. Secondly, there is no guardian named who can look after your children. In fact, there could be a custody battle between your family and your spouse’s family over who should raise the children. As far as inheritance, your children will inherit everything you own at the age of eighteen. Remember how you were at eighteen. Do you think you could have handled a large inheritance? By law, your children would automatically receive their inheritance at eighteen regardless of their level of maturity. These are only some of the issues that occur, if you pass away without a will. No parent wants to leave a mess for their family. When making a will what are some things you should consider? First, who should you appoint as your executor? You can appoint your spouse as your primary executor. In fact, this is what is usually done. What about the back up executor? Who will look after your estate in case your spouse is not alive when you die? You can appoint someone else you trust like your parents or siblings. You should also consider whether the person you are appointing as executor has the time to take on the task. An executor may be trustworthy, but he or she may be unwilling to accept the appointment. Executors have the right to decline the appointment at the outset when they find out that they have been named. It is advisable to obtain your executor’s consent.

What about the guardian? If you have minor children your will should appoint a guardian to look after them in the event that you and your spouse both pass away before your children reach the age of majority. Be careful about appointing a married couple as guardians. You should feel very confident about their ability to get along together before concluding an appointment of this nature. If they get separated or divorced, who will have custody of your children? For example, if you appoint your brother and his wife as guardians, and after your death they separate, will there be a custody battle for your children? To solve this, it might be prudent to appoint your brother alone.

I also offer a free will review for those that have a will and want to make sure it is up to date and not a recipe for a family disaster.

Ugh. Chances are, that utterance probably sums up your feelings on the year that was 2016. Unless you’re a Chicago Cubs fan, the collective attitude toward the past 12 months seems to be one comprised predominantly of exasperation coupled with an unspoken urgency for the final page of the calendar to flip over. After all, ’16 will go down as a bizarre year in the annals of history, with one horrific development after another unfolding overseas and what seemed like a never-ending parade of celebrity deaths that included David Bowie, Alan Rickman and Prince in the first half of the year alone. The past few weeks have also had us bid goodbye to Leonard Cohen and Alan Thicke.
The Thornhill Liberal is a member of the National NewsMedia Council.

Given that brief, and by no means complete, synopsis of 2016, you can be forgiven for feeling a little worn out. You’re definitely not alone. That’s not even to delve into the bitter U.S. presidential campaign that, regardless of your political leanings, seemed to drag on forever and felt like watching a car crash get struck by a train wreck before careering into a dumpster fire. Even now, more than a month after the Nov. 8 vote, the election continues to haunt us as accusations of intrigue and skulduggery continue to fly. Given that brief, and by no means complete, synopsis of 2016, you can be forgiven for feeling a little worn out. You’re definitely not alone. The good news, however, is that we’re days into a new beginning, a do-over, if you will. Now, the move from one year to the next, of course, doesn’t have any real power to improve things, but, psychologically anyway, it feels like an opportunity to hope that better things lie ahead. In the midst of the residual holiday cheer, be certain to embrace your loved ones and let them know what they mean to you and join them in collectively wishing that the best remains still to come. No doubt, 2017 will have its share of ups and downs, as all years do, but we should all cross our fingers that, unlike 2016, the highs will outnumber the lows. One thing remains certain, however, and that is it’s high time for us all to say good riddance to 2016.

• LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Find revenue other than road tolls I read the story about a group that is working behind the scenes to implement road tolls on Hwy. 400 and Hwy. 404. Quite honestly, I don’t believe that someone could be so blatantly out of touch with reality. York Region, north of Steels Avenue, is growing at a rapid pace and is generating atmospheric revenue for the province and municipalities from property taxes and development fees. We pay taxes on electricity, natural gas, oil, water and sewage, gasoline, propane, etc. and everything in between. Now we will be paying another tax, the cap and trade tax on heating and gasoline fuels. Where is
this going to stop? Toronto has lower property taxes then many comparable cities so road tolls make more sense there. Just think how many commuters use the 400 and 404, as these highways are the only large volume roads from York Region to and from Toronto. Adding another expense, to an already expensive commute will simply take more money out of the pockets of hardworking people, resulting in less spending power which will eventually trickle down into the overall economy. We already pay taxes through gasoline purchases and these taxes are supposed to be used for road maintenance. Enough already with taking money. Governments need to be more efficient and accountable to the voters and not

Governments helping private sector in race to bottom Re: Bloated bureaucracy: Do we pay too much? Dec. 15. It was infuriating to see your headline. Talk about sour grapes. Perhaps Teena Bogner and her Newmarket Taxpayers Advocacy Group will feel encouraged by the fact that all governments federal, provincial, regional and municipal - are now helping the private sector in the race to the bottom by offering precarious work to new employees. Many new hires are temporary contract employees.
This despicable practice is all too common in the private sector. If taxpayer associations are so bent on saving taxpayer dollars, why not complain about the fact that CEOs and other top executives, in the public sector and especially in the private sector are being paid multimillion dollar salaries? And who ultimately pays for these bloated salaries? The taxpayer. The public sector is the last bastion of decent wages and decent benefits. We should be striving to make the private sector more like the public sector. Perhaps your paper should headline news items to try to begin to eliminate the gross inequities in our society.

Robert Alfred LeClair, born at Markham-Stouffville Hospital New Year’s Day, was THAT close to being the Greater Toronto Area’s first baby of 2017. Born at 12:00:01, or one second after midnight, the North York newborn was just pipped for the honour by Mississauga infant Alan Wang who came into the world right on the stroke of midnight. Markham Stouffville hospital spokesperson Lisa Joyce said when she called up the hospital around 11:30 p.m., medical staff told her it wasn’t likely the baby would arrive soon. "And then I called back, about (12:10 a.m.), and they were like: ’Oh my God! You’re not going to believe what happened," said Joyce. Markham-Stouffville did claim the first baby of 2016 with the birth of Avery Laswick - the daughter of Ashley and Ryan Laswick who was reportedly delivered there just three seconds after midnight. For Richelle and Matthew LeClair, Robert’s arrival came about a week early as Richelle’s due date was Jan. 8. Richelle, 32, who works

She and Matthew, 25, got to the hospital at 3 p.m. She said she was induced at 6:30 p.m. "It picked up and slowed down. We waited it out. But in the end it was very easy," she said of having her second child. The couple also have a son, Lincoln, 2. Matthew, a caretaker for the TDSB, said "the nurses at the hospital have been awesome," and said the couple will head home with little Robert, 6 pounds and 14 ounces, on Monday morning. Over at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital, little Jakob Chislett made his arrival at 5:55 a.m., the first baby born at that facil-

A landscaper and renovator, Ceril said the easy drive to the hospital from their home made the experience trouble-free. They didn’t expect New Year’s Day to include a new family member, he said. "We were just planning to enjoy New Year’s Eve yesterday." But Jakob had other ideas. The couple came to the hospital at 10:30 p.m. and seven hours later, Jakob arrived. "It was a pretty easy pregnancy," said Kristen. The couple also have a daughter, Mariah, who turns 3 on Thursday. –With files from Torstar

Hopes/wishes for the New Year: I hope to take more time to appreciate the simple things in life? and help others who are less fortunate. Other thoughts: I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and all the best for a safe and healthy New Year. Gila Martow, MPPFavourite aspect of the holidays: My favourite part of the holiday of Chanukah is lighting the menorah and singing Chanukah songs in Hebrew. My sister also knows the words to "Oy Chanukah" in Yiddish (I do my best!)
which our grandmother sang to us. There’s something about snow, colourful candles and lights that make this season so beautiful for all communities, no matter what their religion or culture! Of course, I love when I can get all four of my kids in the same room for any occasion, holiday or not. It’s very unusual that Chanukah falls so late in the year and this year it will be incredible since the first night of Chanukah is Christmas Eve. Hopes/wishes for the New Year: I’m one of those people who like to wish for things that are within reach and then work hard to get there. The last time I wore my snow pants was to knock on doors in the coldest February in 30 years during the 2014 byelection. I am hoping to get on some hills in those same pants to actually ski! I’m working on a March 2017 visit to Israel with PC leader Patrick Brown and some politicians and business leaders. I have a big wish to plan a hockey game for Patrick and lots of Canadians visiting and living in Israel at the new Canada Centre arena in northern Israel. If any of your readers have friends or relatives in Israel with equipment, please let me know!

City hikes taxes, argues Toronto should axe tolls

I need to be alone
AMANDA PERSICO apersico@yrmg.com Markham council approved its budget for 2017, which brings a 3.46-percent tax rate increase over last year. The approved tax rate increase adds about $38 on a home valued at $586,000. Based on the average home value, taxpayers can also expect about $181 in additional taxes in 2017 - $67 from the region’s proposed tax increase, $47 for Markham’s stormwater fee and $30 from the city’s increase in water and wastewater fees. The 2017 budget is $443.34 million, which includes $201.8 million in operating costs, $121.2 million in waterworks, $81.5 million in capital projects and
$13.6 million in library. Some of the projects proposed for 2017 include 92 acres of new parkland, rail crossing upgrades for the anti-whistle program and expansion of the city’s multi-use pathways. Unionville resident Peter Miasek praised council for its responsible budget, setting aside funds for issues such as the fight against emerald ash borer, rising hydro rates, inflation, storm water management and accessibility requirements. "Those are beyond Markham’s control and yet Markham has to budget for them," said Miasek, who is also the president of Transport Action Ontario, an organization dedicated to sustainable transportation.
"To see this is sound financial planning, just look at the shenanigans down in Toronto." The debate soon turned to what’s happening south of Steeles Avenue. "We have no other choice to get the revenue to provide services," Mayor Frank Scarpitti said during this week’s council meeting to approve the budget. "There’s frustration in my voice, because Toronto operates under different rules and has different tools to collect revenue." Scarpitti urged the province to give municipalities the same tools to boost public coffers as Toronto has, such as land transfer tax, high commercial and industrial tax and road tolls.

larly turn to nearby 360 Kids’ daytime drop in centre, but that the 14 emergency overnight beds are often full. The experience left Taggart shaken. "It’s kind of a surreal experience because you know it’s happening, but you don’t realize it’s happening so close to home, and you kind of turn a blind eye to it," he said, adding the plaza’s landlord has since changed the lock for safety reasons. "It was more of a surprise and shock that it was so close to home, and it’s the holidays and the weather was so cold, and I think there could be more done especially in colder weather. I think warming centres are relatively easy to do. Warming centres where they could pull out cots on a more regular basis."
The problem of homelessness is playing out across York Region. Newmarket’s Inn from the Cold has seen a 50 per cent increase in the number of times clients have sought overnight emergency shelter during the first month of the season this year compared to last year, executive director Ann Watson said. Within the first 37 days of this season, there have been 720 times when clients have turned to the shelter, which operates from mid-November to April. That compares with 478 stays during the same period last year. Inn from the Cold is taking in clients who have been turned away from other agencies at capacity, Watson said. She called the increase "significant’ and "concerning."

Inn From the Cold has seen a 50-per-cent increase in the number of times clients have sought overnight emergency shelter. Staff are trying to determine possible reasons for the sharp rise in homeless people turning to the pro-
gram, including colder weather compared to last year, more people with precarious employment losing
their jobs, and the region’s increasingly expensive housing market. The centre also brought
in a drop-in program during the summer. That likely built and maintained connections with people who are now more comfortable turning to the shelter, Watson said. Inn from the Cold has beds for 30 people a night, including up to six beds for women. As many as 28 clients have turned to the shelter this year. The shelter is coping, and at the same time hoping there isn’t an increase in demand so homeless people don’t have to be turned away, Watson said. "I can’t even imagine sleeping outside in this weather," she said. Inn from the Cold is looking for volunteers and also seeking participants for its largest annual fundraiser, Coldest Night of the Year, on Feb. 25. For more information, visit innfromthecold.ca
