York Regional Police Sgt. Aaron Sidenberg calls in another sighting as media joined police in action as they nabbed distracted drivers while peering out the windows of public transit buses. Police also unveiled signs, to be featured on select buses in York Region, meant to remind drivers they are being watched.

KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com Daniel Share-Strom was just three when it became clear what his mission in life would be - and that the mission would involve a microphone. He had always been a different child, not really interested in other kids, in toys, in communicating with others. But one day he and his mom were at garage sale and Daniel made a beeline for the toy box. He grabbed a microphone, stood in the middle of the driveway and began belting out "Blue Suede Shoes". It happened again at a family friend’s concert, when one of the musicians invited those in the audience to perform, and quiet little Daniel leaped on stage. Things at home weren’t so stellar, though. Daniel was a smart kid, but the things he did made him look dumb. He hated loud noises, couldn’t ride a bike, was socially awkward, clumsy, disorganized - and the worst part: these "problems" were what people used to identify him, rather than the many other things he did well. At 10, he was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome and he and his family began the agonizing process of ensuring he got the supports he needed at school. He had been tapping into his love for the microphone at local weddings and funerals, but now Daniel had a mission he would use his "stage presence" to explain what it meant to have Aspergers. It started at Keswick
Susie Kockerscheidt/Metroland
Maxine and son Daniel Strom, who has Aspergers, has been invited to be keynote speaker at prestigious conference in Atlanta, where he’ll be talking about what it’s like to have autism High School where he created a power point to share his insight with teachers and principals. Over the next 13 years, his mission mushroomed as he was invited to speak at bigger venues throughout Ontario - at colleges, universities, disabilities organizations. He spoke to Southlake hospital’s mental health professionals, to volunteers at 310Cope (York Region’s community crisis response), and in 2016, he gave a TedTalk at York University. It was the latter that got him noticed south of the border and this week, he has been invited to take his show on the road in Atlanta, where he will be keynote
speaker at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Autism Awareness Month Event, April 20. He is following in big footsteps: previous speakers include world-famous autism advocates Dr. Temple Grandin and actor Ed Asner who has a son with autism and two grandsons on the spectrum. Daniel and his mother, Maxine Share, recently moved to Bradford and they often speak at events together, wearing funny glasses they call "autism goggles" to show why the world needs to see autism differently. It is time, they say, to rebrand autism spectrum disorders, in the same way
’People are languishing in parents’ basements when they could be doing so much for the world.’ marketing has made waves on the issue of mental illness. Aspergers is a neurobiological disorder on the higher-functioning end of the autism spectrum and can impact everything from social and organizational skills, to physical activity, language and emotions. Daniel may hate toothbrushes, loud noises and washing his hair - but this is not all he wants us to know about him. Unfortunately, if you are autistic, he says, you are identified by the
things that are "wrong". "We are judged by our distance from so-called normal and by the list of things that have to be fixed," he says. Because autism impacts how one communicates, learns and interacts, the list of things to be "fixed" can be long - and as a result, people with autism grow up feeling broken, he says. "People tend cringe or at very least have preconceived notions of what autism is - someone who can’t
be taught, who’s going to be a problem, who might be at best like Rain Man or Sheldon from Big Bang theory." In fact a surprising number of successful people fall on the autism spectrum, and he believes it’s time for them to "come out of the closet". Those who speak out about depression are helping destigmatize depression and the same approach can help those with autism, he says. Leaving the status quo, he says, is deadly. Maxine, who acts as administrative assistant to Daniel and helps him write his speeches, agrees. "What we’re doing now is killing people," she says. "This system is not working." Those with autism have nine times the suicide rate, she says, they die years earlier than the average person and have 80 per cent unemployment even though they often test very highly and are often extremely skilled in one area. "People are languishing in parents’ basements when they could be doing so much for the world," adds Daniel. Better teacher training, curriculum that can beadjusted to reflect the pace of those on the spectrum, a publiceducation campaign featuring those on the spectrum and encouragement foremployers to hire people with autism can all lead to change, he says. "Autism is not a defect or a mental illness, and it is not a catastrophe. It is simply another way of experiencing the world."

ABOUT US
Time for local elections to embrace technology The Internet has become an increasingly large presence in our lives. More and more, it’s the means through which we communicate, gather information, enjoy entertainment and even do business. Despite all of that, however, few opportunities exist for citizens to take part in the democratic process electronically. Markham has offered Internet voting during the advanced polling period since 2003, while Ajax introduced electronic voting for the 2014 municipal election. Earlier this month, Newmarket council voted to become the first municipality in York Region to move to a fully electronic voting model for the 2018 election that will allow citizens to cast their vote online or over the telephone instead of the traditional paper ballot method. Residents will still be able to attend a voting location in-person, if they wish, on certain dates and times. Just this week, Bradford West Gwillimbury council voted to eliminate paper ballots and replace them with Internet and telephone voting for next year’s municipal election. The town’s deputy clerk, Tara Reynolds, described electronic voting as a win-win for its convenience, low cost and potential to boost turnout, while also noting that physical electronic polling stations would also be set up for those needing assistance or who simply prefer to get out and vote. At the same time, the City of Vaughan recently considered the idea of electronic voting only to stick with optical scan tabulators to count ballots for the 2018 election. Staff will report back in 2020 on security and implementation measures in time for the 2022 election, but the decision runs headlong against the winds of change. Privacy and security concerns cropped up among Bradford councillors, but Reynolds noted that additional layers of security, beyond a PIN number and birth date entry, could be implemented. Most of us already do our banking online and many of us file our taxes electronically as well, so allowing citizens to cast their ballots via the Internet makes a lot of sense and numerous ways exist to ensure the integrity of the process. Politicians always seem to lament voter turnout figures following an election and electronic voting is an inexpensive way to make it easier for people to participate, especially in areas where geography can pose difficulties reaching a polling station. Every municipality should be working toward implementing electronic voting ideally in time for the 2018 campaign. It’s time for local democracy to enter the 21st century.

• LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Give developers something real to complain about Re: Governments need to address the GTA’s housing supply crunch, April 6. Bryan Tuckey from BILD is certainly right that there is an affordable housing crisis in the GTA. What he does not mention is that high prices and low supply are a result of developers building more profitable smaller units, and holding onto and not developing over a hundred thousand units that are approved and serviced (124K in Toronto and Oakville alone). While developers might prefer huge taxpayer subsidies to service and rezone protected lands for sprawl, so that they can flip those lands at a tidy profit, this is
clearly not in the public interest, as it has huge taxpayer and environmental cost. If developers continue to make these nonsense claims about land supply, and to withhold the supply of affordable housing, municipalities and the province should expropriate approved lands and build the units themselves or in joint ventures with nonprofit developers. This would allow suitable, affordable units for families and seniors to be built quickly. Laura Bowman East Gwillimbury

in the GTA, but it is not a housing market crisis. The crisis is government that is blind and deaf to the very problems that it creates. There is plenty of housing in the GTA. The problem is there are too many people. As the article states, there are 100,000 people coming to the GTA every year. Are these people migrating here from other parts of Canada? No, these are new Canadians who come to this country under the policies of the federal government. While the GTA suffers with growing congestion, loss of green space and farmland, traffic jams, inadequate transit, and soaring rents and house prices, the federal government not only maintains the current immigration rates, but under Trudeau has arbitrarily in-
creased it by 55,000 to 305,000 a year. Did Trudeau consult with the mayors of the GTA as to the effect this might have on all of the problems they are dealing with? The only thing I hear the GTA mayors ever say is that they need more money. When you have a growing population that presumably contributes to a growing tax base, but you need even more revenue than that provides, you have essentially defined a pyramid scheme. This so-called crisis could be ended next week, but no politician has the guts (or brains, it seems) to realize that the real problem is an addiction to never-ending growth and no regard to the negative effects that it brings.

Two parcels of land owned by Thornhill’s Ladies Golf Club of Toronto are now on the market. "There’s no guarantee the property will be sold," club president Alanna Quinn said Thursday. "Much depends on the offer. We are entertaining offers . we’ll see what happens". An advertisement appeared in Thursday’s Globe and Mail announcing two portions of land at the Ladies Golf Club of Toronto are for sale. The club is at 7859 Yonge St. in Markham, north of John Street. The club hired commercial real estate services company Colliers International as manager and agent for the land. Quinn said they don’t expect to sell both parcels because the club wants to
maintain its 21-hole course. One parcel is approximately eight acres while the other is 2 1/2, she said. The 2 1/2 acres of land is on Bayview Avenue at the north east corner of the club. The 8-acre parcel is along the northern boundary of the property toward the north-west corner. She pointed out the club is 93 years old and wants to invest in itself "We are securing our legacy and investing in our future." The club and Colliers will be open to offers from developers for six weeks. After that, the club’s membership will vote on whether any sale should proceed. A two-thirds majority member vote is required before the land is sold to developers. The course is a Stanley Thompson design. It was established by Ada Mackenzie in 1924 to provide a
venue for women golfers at a time when women faced difficulty accessing golf courses and tee times. The facility opened in 1925 with nine holes and expanded to 18 holes the following year. Its membership is exclusively women although since 1936 men have been permitted as guest holders. In fact, the course remains the lone facility in North America established by women and for women. An accomplished amateur player, Mackenzie posed as Thompson’s wife in order to purchase the property. Mackenzie became known as one of the best female golfers in North America and England. Mackenzie was inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 1955. - With files from John Cudmore

Market crash/ Great Depression
| Thornhill Liberal | Thursday, April 20, 2017
Dinner & Show
Canadian The Great Crash of October 1929 resulted when panic struck Wall Street, Toronto and Montreal resulting in billions of dollars in lost revenues for investors and businesses in wild stock selloffs. It was followed in 1930 and beyond by the Great Depression as companies laid off thousands of workers and many shut down. Unemployment rose to a record 25 per cent and, in a time when there was no social safety net, people struggled to make ends meet. Only the outbreak of war in 1939-40 and the need for war supplies brought employment and industry back.

NEWS
Police take to transit l Continued from front
"bus ride-along". Media was invited to tag along April 13 aboard one of their newly-"wrapped" buses displaying the image of a YRP officer leaning out the window, writing a ticket. It’s a not-so-subtle reminder that police are peering down at you from York Region buses and if you want to avoid a hefty fine, you best put down that phone. York Regional Police Traffic Enforcement Unit, in conjunction with York Region Transit, launched the campaign this week to fight distracted driving. The offence - use of cellphones in particular - remains a significant safety concern for drivers and pedestrians, according to traffic bureau Insp. Randy Slade. Since January, the YRP has been riding public transit to watch for drivers using their cellphones or other hand-held devices, then relaying the information to officers patrolling the roadways. Now they’ve added the "bus wraps", depicting a police officer leaning out of the bus window, on five transit vehicles travelling throughout the region. The campaign is two-pronged: while drivers are nabbed for using their devices, bus passengers see first-hand just how dangerous the roads can be for them as pedestrians. Those same passengers are often eager to help police by looking for offenders from their own bus seats and sharing with the police officer on board. It didn’t take long for the reporters, photographers and camera operators to get into the spirit of things during Friday’s ride-along. As the bus travelled south on Yonge Street to Highway 7, Sgt. Aaron Sidenberg immediately spotted two drivers surreptitiously tapping on their phones. He communicated the info via radio to nearby unmarked police vehicles and within minutes, those drivers were facing $490 fines and three lost demerit points. Soon, the ride-along media were joining in, peering into cars ("like an Easter egg hunt for adults", someone joked), pointing out other offenders - a female in a white Cherokee, a man in a beige convertible - and laughing to see how many drivers scrambled to hide the phones beneath their legs when they realized they were caught. One driver caught with his phone was nabbed for much more: three-times-suspended license, no insurance, on probation and not allowed to drive his car. A total of five drivers were nabbed in the short trip. Earlier that day, police caught 16 distracted drivers between Yonge and Mulock and Steeles, including one using a full-sized iPad, Sidenberg said. Buses provide the perfect high vantage point, he said, especially for peering into pickup trucks and cube vans. "Our message is: put it down," said Slade. "There is nothing that important that can’t wait until you get to your destination."

ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS amartinrobbins@yrmg.com Vaughan is embracing the adage that one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. City staff are planning a new initiative, dubbed Curb Swap Days, that would encourage residents to place reusable
household goods such as small appliances, bicycles, computers or furniture at the edge of their property, on designated days for others to take free of charge. Currently, the city is considering co-ordinating Curb Swap Days once a month from May to October. Participants would
place items, marked with signage saying "free", at the curb between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. But uncollected items must be removed from the curbside by 5 p.m. The goal is to help Vaughan meet its target of diverting 289 kg of waste, per capita, from landfill by 2031.
"This type of program can also build community," Kate Dykman, Vaughan’s manager of solid waste management, told councillors at an April 10 committee meeting. "It’s a way (for people) to share with friends and neighbours items that they don’t need as well as for
others to have things free of charge." The program is modelled on similar "longstanding, successful" events in Halifax, Ottawa, Saskatoon and Winnipeg, Dykman said. Before it goes ahead, the initiative has to be approved by city council.
