With last weekend book-ended by two major subway events headlined by heavyweights from Queen’s Park, public transit in York Region has taken a major step forward in the last week, the president of the region’s transit corporation says. “We are now finally seeing the long-term strategy and dream fall into place. It is the underpinning of our growth strategy,” Mary Frances Turner said after Premier Kathleen Wynne’s visit to Vaughan Monday morning. Her visit came just three days after Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca was in Richmond Hill to announce funding for engineering and design work for the future extension of the Yonge subway line from Finch to Richmond Hill. Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti, chairperson of the transit corporation’s board, called the two transit events in the region within days of See ‘TWO’, page 2.

Two subway lines on track in York Region From page 1.

each other a significant acknowledgment of York’s transit needs and growth projections, especially after years of different governments at Queen’s Park failing to acknowledge those requirements. Wynne was at the future Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station at Hwy. 7 to mark the completion of track work on the extension of the Toronto-York Spadina subway. The six-station extension is scheduled to open in December, 2017. “With this investment, we will provide subway service that moves beyond regional boundaries for the first time,” Wynne said. “We are confident Ontario’s record investments in infrastructure will pay off for people in their everyday lives and will also help our economy grow and create jobs.” While the track completion is a significant step, the subway extension has faced challenges. For example, York officials found out in January the region would be on the hook for another $160 million as the project was yet again over budget, this time to the tune of

$400 million. The cost of the extension is now expected to be $3.2 billion, up from the original forecast of $2.6 billion. Cost overruns have been blamed on a variety of reasons, such as start-up delays, poor performance by some contractors and scope and design changes not originally budgeted for. Despite the challenges, Del Duca, MPP for Vaughan, called the completion of the track work a major step forward for the subway extension. “We know how important public transit is to managing congestion, curbing emissions and building communities,” he said. “Another important milestone has been reached for the TorontoYork Spadina subway extension that will enable people to spend less time commuting and more time with their friends and families.” Del Duca was at the Richmond Hill Centre bus station Thursday to announce $55 million from the province for design work for the extension of the Yonge subway. The Yonge subway extension is part of Metrolinx’s next round of future transit projects, he said.

Residents and other officials also weighed in on news of the province’s investment. “Fifteen years to build, which we will pay through our tax dollars. In the meantime, how many more condos and cars will be on Yonge Street?” resident Dave Slotnick posted on Facebook. “It’s a nice move, but, really, 20 years behind the times!!” Thornhill MPP Gila Martow applauded the Yonge subway extension, but also raised concerns. “Expanding the Yonge subway north will benefit residents in Thornhill, Vaughan, Markham,

Unionville, Aurora and Newmarket, while getting many commuters off of downtown streets,” she said. “We need to stop wasting time and money on low-priority bus lanes, like the project at Bathurst and Centre, and focus on transit that will benefit tens of thousands of commuters versus a couple of hundred.” Martow questioned how long it will take for the project to be completed. “(On June 1), the provincial government announced it will take at least 14 years before the downtown relief line will be ready for riders.

How long will it take for this project (Yonge subway extension), 20 years?” she said. The funding may not provide a large amount of money, but it sends a clear signal that Queen’s Park is moving forward “in an incremental manner,” said Richmond Hill Councillor Godwin Chan, who along with councillors Valerie Burke and Alan Shefman formed the Yonge Street North Group several years ago to lobby to get the 7.4-km extension built. “We would love to have more,” said Shefman of the $55 million. “That’s OK for now. We’re in competition with Toronto. ... We’ve got to be aggressive, forceful.” “You’ve got this incredibly fast growing population in the middle of gridlock without getting the funding to move this faster,” said Shefman. “How long it will take (depends on) a variety of factors. There will be challenges and it will take time.” Even if the subway extension were fully funded today, it would take seven or eight years to build, he said. “Let’s be patient. The reality is rapid transit planning is a longterm agenda.“ - with files by Simone Joseph

have been trained in how to prevent problem behavior.” Increasing the amount of light in a room, for example, or decreasing noise level can reduce stress for the person with dementia. Music, pets and aromatherapy can help with anxiety and depression To help with sleepless troubles, Andrews

recommends daylight early in the day, regular exercise, and a room that is quiet and dark at night. A warm bed, cool room, and in care homes, staff wearing pajamas at night can all help a person with dementia get a good night’s sleep, she said.

Those were the words of warning from Loren Freid, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of York Region, as he introduced a special guest speaker Thursday night to mark the society’s 30th anniversary. Dementia is expected to increase by more than 40 per cent across the province over the next seven years — but in York, it’s predicted to grow by more than 57 per cent, Freid said. That’s because the region’s senior population is mushrooming — and aging is a key risk factor when it comes to dementia. The CEO was addressing an audience of about 100 people who had come to hear from respected dementia expert June Andrews, director of the Dementia Services Development Centre at the University of Stirling, Scotland. Andrews, author of When Someone You Know Has Dementia, said those who have the disease often experience a quick decline until they are extremely dependent on others for care. Those years of JUNE ANDREWS dependence are expensive for the state and individual, she said. “It’s quite clear our society can’t afford people to be in care for even as long as they currently are now.” While it is not possible to cure dementia (whether caused by Alzheimer or other diseases) it may be possible to prevent it, or at least slow its progression, she said. With her quick wit and a lilting Scottish accent, Andrews shared her knowledge with families and caregivers at the Aurora headquarters of the Alzheimer Society, warning against biased news and headlines that aren’t backed up by real science. “There’s a real moral problem when people are having their hopes raised by quasi results,” she said. There is good evidence, however, that some things can be done to protect your brain or slow down its decline: • Exercise — If you exercise moderately, even in middle age, you can protect your brain, slow down cognitive decline and reduce the risk of mini-strokes that cause vascular dementia. • Take care with alcohol — Women who drink even “in moderation” increase their risk of mild cognitive impairment. Binge drinkers,

male and female, are also more at risk. But research shows those who enjoy one glass of red wine a day (or champagne) may experience beneficial results. Green tea and coffee may also help. • People who have had untreated or uncontrolled depression are more likely to go on to develop dementia. • Having a higher level of education (or being bilingual) won’t protect you from getting dementia, but it will help you cope with the damage that happens inside your brain, if you do develop dementia. • Choosing a Mediterranean diet — rich in nuts, fish and vegetables with less high-fat dairy and red meat — may make you less likely to develop dementia. Increasing your fiber intake can also help protect you. • Enjoy games and puzzles that make you think and challenge yourself with something new, every day. Explore, read, volunteer, join a club or take a class. Research shows social stimulation can help your brain. • Work on getting quality sleep and try meditation, slow walking or other relaxation techniques to help you get a handle on stress. Doctors used to think it wasn’t a good idea to tell people about a dementia diagnosis because there wasn’t anything that could be done, Andrews said. While it’s true the disease can’t be cured, there is much that can be done to help cope with the symptoms and much of it has to do with adapting environment and lifestyle, she said. Andrews recommends creating a “dementia-friendly” home that considers the person’s special needs — choosing less reflective surfaces to help with vision, for example, and kitchens with open cupboards to help with memory. There’s even something called a Magiplug that will drain a sink if the tap is accidentally left on. More suggestions on designing a dementia-friendly home can be found at bit. ly/1AJOlaL There has been much discussion lately about the use and abuse of anti-psychotics in dementia care. Anti-sedative medication, with its severe side effects, is particularly problematic when there is no ongoing measurement to determine whether it’s making a difference, she said. Some problem behaviours that lead to medicating (such as agitation, anxiety, aggression, depression, hallucination, sleeplessness and wandering) can be avoided with changes to the person’s environment and lifestyle. “In most places, [anti-psychotics] are used too much, used too often, used too long and not used appropriately,” Andrews said. “Ninety per cent of people in care homes have dementia. You’d actually be better building a non-dementia wing,” she said. “Once people move into a dementia wing, they become more calm because staff there

Newlyweds Tripti Ninan and Ryan Perera are Millennials and purchased their first home in Toronto just under a year ago. Based on their combined income and the down payment they were able to come up with, the couple bought a 700-square-foot, one-bedroom-plus-den condo unit in Toronto’s west end near a subway station. “We knew our first step would be a condo. We wanted to start small and we wanted something low maintenance,” said Ninan. “And for us, location was key because we wanted to be close to transit. I did not want ridiculous commutes anymore.” Ninan, a 30-year-old marketing professional who works downtown, and 27-year-old Perera, an aerospace engineer whose office is near Pearson Airport, understood sacrifices were required to make their dream a reality. About five years ago, they both started setting aside money for their wedding and future home purchase. “We were actually planning for quite a few years and saving up,” said Perera. “We saved for both our wedding and our property even before we knew what kind of place we wanted and how big the wedding

would be.” Ninan, who also paid her own way through college and university, said she was lucky to have taken a few financial courses and had a good understanding of what was involved in getting into the Toronto real estate market. It also helped that both Ninan and Perera’s parents have purchased a condo in the last five years and they were actively involved in helping their parents navigate the experience. “We took what we learned from our parents and applied it when the time came to buy a condo,” she said. The couple sacrificed having a second vehicle to save more money and followed the guidance of their financial advisor, Darlene Wang, who advised them about maximizing their investments and the importance of budgeting. “We don’t go on crazy shopping sprees at all and we’re smart with our purchases; no impulse buying,”

Perera said. “But we’re still enjoying life. Short-term sacrifices mean long-term gains,” added Ninan. In the next four or five years, the couple said, they’ll likely sell their condo and get a house. Depending on what they want and their needs, they did admit they’d consider moving outside Toronto proper. ••••• Getting into the Toronto real estate market isn’t impossible for Millennials (those ages 18 to 35), but it’s no walk in the park. Purchasing a property in the city’s hot market requires two things: preparation and the willingness to compromise. For the last 16 years, financial advisor Wang has helped scores of young adults to get their finances in order so they can buy their first home in Toronto. “You have to be realistic in terms of what you want and what you can get. If you have an ego, you can’t play this game,” said Wang, who admitted the likelihood of Millennials purchasing a detached home in the city as their first property is slim. According to a recent report by Altus Group for the Building Industry and Land Development

Newlyweds Ryan Perera and Tripti Ninan are proud owners of a condo in Etobicoke.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Yes, we’re Baby Boomers; no, we’re not selling our home

Other co-op residents hurting, too

O

ur local newspapers have been publishing the stories for years now and the headlines all start to sound the same: “Record sales in May keep York’s housing market hopping” (way back in June 2007); “York’s housing market stays hot” (Nov. 2011); “York house values highest in GTA: MPAC” July 2012; “York house values continue to rise” (July 2012). I could go on, but you get the general idea. Those headlines about prices climbing and our hot housing market are interspersed with headlines like these: “York housing supply fails to meet needs” (May 2012) or “Housing tops York seniors’ worries “(May 2013). It’s something everyone is talking and worrying about, which is why we’re publishing the latest series of stories — Through the roof; a Metroland special report. As we all know, the escalating housing market, ridiculous bidding wars and sky-high prices aren’t just happening in York Region, but across the GTA. We know this issue is touching a chord with you, from letters to the editor and social media conversations — and plain old over-theback-fence discussions going on in every York Region community. Take my own street in Richmond Hill — a microcosm of the housing market. On any given week, there are several homes up for sale or lease — and yes, some bear the “sold over asking” words on the signs. The home directly beside my home was sold by longtime neighbours in December 2014, and a family lived there for about a year. Then they were gone, and apparently the house was advertised again for sale online, yet no traditional realtor sign was seen. The house has been empty for months now. I mow the dandelion-filled grass just so it doesn’t make our adjoining front yard look bad. The backyard of the house is pretty overgrown and prospective families troop in and out of the

Marney Beck home on weekends taking a look, I presume. Another neighbour across the street had contractors working on her home, and speculation ran rampant — is she moving? Renting? Or maybe just renovating? And I’m getting those calls, too. I answer our home phone and hear: “Hello, are you interested in selling your house?” No introductory “How do you do, I’m so and so...” just straight to the point: “You selling”? “No” is our answer. And here are some reasons why. My husband and I love our home, the short walk to the theatre, grocery and drug stores, parks and other amenities, and while incredible selling prices of other homes on our street give us pause for thought, we’re not ready to move for many years yet. Yes, we’re Baby Boomers, and yes we’re staying in our homes as long as we can handle the stairs and the yard work. My husband has had more than his share of health challenges, and depends on and greatly appreciates his doctors in our community — and our hospital. We hear stories about people moving to other places in Ontario having trouble finding a doctor — even a family doctor. That’s one good reason we’re staying put. Another is our son, 24, still living at home. Although he has a full-time job, there’s no way he could afford an apartment in Richmond Hill with the high rents, much less enter the crazy housing market — even sharing a home purchase with friends. So, hot housing market or not, we’re not selling.

Re: Thornhill co-op tenants fear homelessness due to rising rents, March 31. The W. L. MacKenzie Housing Co-operative is a self-sustaining, non-profit corporation. The housing charge paid by members is the only source to pay out the mortgage, support operational costs and provide for capital investment for aging infrastructure. The co-op is not financially capable (and has no legal obligation) to use its internal funds for housing subsidies. Government money, when available, is the only source for subsidies. By 2005, the co-op started experiencing serious difficulties providing subsidies as the government money had been already reduced by nearly 50 per cent. The co-op made a generous decision to establish an internal (temporary) subsidy fund of $100,000 annually while making a controversial move to “lock” the list of 28 subsidized units, so any new subsidy applicant would be rejected. The co-op population is aging,retiring,losingincomes, and, as of today, nearly 60 more families became eligible for housing assistance, since they are spending more than 50 per cent of their incomes for housing charges. Those 60 were getting no financial help at all, while struggling to make ends meet. In 2014, the co-op decided to end the temporary internal subsidy fund gradually by 2019. Those on permanent assistance started to see the housing charge increased little by little. When The Liberal interviewed Honey Jaeger, she was obviously talking on behalf of her group of 28 — those lucky to receive assistance in previous years — ignoring the other 60 needy families. She alone has been occupying a four-bedroom townhouse (the largest and most expensive), declining offers to move to a smaller and less expensive unit. Yet the waiting list

of large families wishing to increase their living space is pretty long. Another frustration for co-op members was hundreds of thousands of dollars exhausted as payouts and legal fees due to a number of frivolous lawsuits initiated by some subsidized members. The episode with “antisubsidy” posters at the Feb. 4 meeting, when several members tried to display their freedom of expression, was one-sided, as described in the article. Members overwhelmingly voted to remove the posters. We are still looking optimistically to 2019, when the subsidy money will expire, but the mortgage will be paid off and the rents may go a little down for all members. We hope the federal government will keep its pre-election promise and renew subsidy financing for federal co-ops. Co-op activists might redirect their energy to lobby elected politicians to make them keep those promises.

Hard to sell, say ‘adieu’ Re: Bidding adieu to home of your dreams, June 2. In the article, Chris Simon refers to “an apparent unwillingness by aging Baby Boomers to sell their homes and downsize”. What drives this unwillingness? In my case (I’m 59, now on my own in a four-bedroom home built in 1987), it is a a daunting question: where would I move? It is doubtful I’ll stay in Richmond Hill when I sell, as I feel smaller homes and condos here offer poorer value than my current home — a home half as big can easily cost three-quarters of what I’d get for my current place. I’m contemplating a move to a community of fewer than 30,000 outside of Ontario, where real estate prices, taxes, congestion and insurance costs are lower than in York. Financial necessity may prompt such a move.

Bruce Rhodes Richmond H


From page 5.

Association, the average price for a newer detached home in the GTA was $1.05 million, which is more than double what it cost a decade ago and 21 per cent higher than just over a year ago. “An actual standalone home in the GTA will be near impossible unless you have two steady incomes over $100,000,” Wang explained. “Millennials have to start with a condo to build equity, a townhouse, or a small bungalow, or (purchase) not in the GTA.” To help her clients get ready to get into the Toronto market, Wang, who works for Investors Group, helps future homebuyers sort out their priorities and come up with a plan of action to maximize their finances in a set time frame. Getting “house ready” as she put it, requires a change of mindset, a new way of living. “You need to sacrifice more than ever and make smart decisions,” said Wang, adding understanding what’s involved in reaching your goals helps avoid disappointment. Wang said Millennials aren’t usually thinking about getting their finances in order and saving up for a down payment on a prop-

erty.

“In their head it’s “pay back me” time,” she said, noting most Millennials in the 18 to 30 age range are in school or just finishing up their first post-secondary degree or diploma,

usually carry school debt, have no kids, and want to travel and party. Under her guidance, Wang has helped her clients to get “house ready” by tracking their spending, making small adjustments to their budget, investing wisely, and being realistic about vacations and big purchases. “Incomes have nowhere near increased the way real estate has increased. You must learn to do more with less,” she said. Real estate broker Frank Leo, who has been serving clients in Toronto and the GTA for 28 years, said for Millennials the biggest thing is the pressure of being “squeezed out of the market.” Leo, of RE/MAX West Realty Ltd., advises young buyers to avoid jumping into the market before doing their research, specifically knowing exactly what they want and can afford. “A good representative on your side helps keep your emotions in check,” he said. “If a property isn’t what you need or want then don’t buy it.” He added those between the ages of 18 to 35 who want to purchase a property in Toronto need to take a close look at their needs and based on their budget a good realtor will be able to help find the right home to buy. “If you buy well, that’s a good investment. If you buy poorly then you’re in trouble. You want to make sure you have someone who knows their stuff to give you the best advice,”

he said. Leo also said Millennials need to realize it’s not likely they’ll be buying the home of their dreams the first time around. “Often, the first property is a stepping stone that fits your current needs and one that will get a good return,” he said. “Real estate is all about understanding value and getting the best property for your money.” Meray Mansour, real estate agent with Royal LePage Estate Realty, agreed noting getting into a smaller “first-step home” like a condo or a small bungalow for a few years is what will help first-time homeowners build equity for their dream home. With 18 years of experience in Toronto’s real estate market, she said bidding wars for anything in the $550,000 to $700,000 range are to be expected. “There’s so much demand and very low stock. I advise my clients to understand bidding wars are a reality but to not be discouraged,” she said. “And because today’s market is so hot, being too emotional can lead to irrational decisions. You need a realtor that’s going to advocate for you in this type of market.” She encouraged Millennials to go for it if they do have enough money saved up to get into the market.

16 people in York charged for impaired driving over weekend A man who appeared to be impaired stumbled to his car and attempted to drive it in a Vaughan gas station parking lot before falling asleep behind the wheel. He was one of 16 people York Regional Police arrested for impaired driving related offences last weekend, including Friday. Of the arrests, one was a result of a collision, eight were made during RIDE checks and seven were a result of people calling 911. The arrests include cases of impairment by drugs, as well as alcohol. The parking lot incident took place in the area of Major Mackenzie Drive West and Finland Drive in Vaughan. A citizen called 911 to report it. When officers arrived, they found the car

still in the parking lot and the man asleep behind the wheel. He was arrested by police. Ashwani Sharda, 33, of WhitchurchStouffville, is charged with impaired driving and over 80.

Man pinned by vehicle in Vaughan dies from injuries A man sent to hospital Monday with lifethreatening injuries after being pinned by a vehicle in Vaughan has died. The incident occurred shortly after 11:30 a.m., when police responded to reports a man had been pinned between a vehicle and a commercial building on Buttermill Avenue. It is believed that the victim, a 29-year-oldman from Toronto, was attempting to assist the driver of the vehicle while backing up.

A 36-year-old Vaughan man is facing several charges following an investigation by the Ontario Provincial Police into a suspect who allegedly misrepresented himself as a paralegal. The OPP’s highway enforcement team launched an investigation March 10 after receiving a complaint. It is alleged the suspect had fraudulently represented himself as a paralegal in York, Peel and Durham regions, and in Toronto, by collecting money from victims to represent them in court proceedings. It is also alleged the suspect sold fraudulent vehicle insurance documents. Andres Francisco Santibanez Garcia, oper-

Markham man gets six years for $10M tax refund fraud A Markham man has been sentenced to six years in jail and a fine of nearly $150,000 in the wake of a fraud conviction related to federal tax refunds. The Canada Revenue Agency said Lawrence Watts was sentenced in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Newmarket to six years and a court-imposed fine of $149,129. On Oct. 22, Watts was found guilty by jury of one count of fraud over $5,000 under the Criminal Code. A 28-month CRA investigation revealed that Watts, owner and operator of Fiscal Arbitrators, claimed false business losses on income tax returns he prepared on behalf of 240 clients.

2 2016 016 N NORTH OR TH A AMERICAN MER I C A N CAR OF THE YEAR C AR O FT HE Y E AR

The fictitious losses enabled clients to receive or attempt to receive approximately $10 million in federal tax refunds. Through Fiscal Arbitrators, Watts promoted the incorrect notion that Canadians do not have to pay tax on income they earn, and counselled clients on how to restructure their affairs to evade payment of income tax, the CRA said. The preceding information was obtained from the court records, the CRA said in a media release. “In order to maintain public confidence in the integrity of the tax system, the Canada Revenue Agency pursues those who prepare fraudulent returns,” said Vince Pranjivan, Assistant Commissioner of the Ontario Region. “Canadians have to trust that our self-assessment system is working and that it is fair.”

Jessica Cao, a Grade 10 student at Thornhill’s St. Robert Catholic High School, was runner-up this weekend in Canada’s largest student geography competition — the Canadian Geographic Challenge National Final. The national geography competition brought students together to vie for the champion title in Ottawa. Cao, 15, won $3,000 for her efforts. In front of an audience of more than 150 people, Cao was one of five top contenders who had to answer 45 geography questions in a live game show format. It included video questions posed by famous Royal Canadian JESSICA CAO Geographical Society Fellows, such as former prime minister Kim Campbell, and astronaut Dr. Roberta Bondar. While Calgarian Jack Cheng emerged as the winner, there was a nail-biter tie-breaking round between Cao, a former Ontario champion and Stittsville native William Chapman. Cao was able to identify Lunenburg as

the Canadian World Heritage site that is an example of an original British colonial town and the building site of the Bluenose, edging her to a second-place finish. The two-day competition wasn’t all work and no fun. All 20 contestants had time to visit Parliament Hill, the Supreme Court of Canada, enjoy a leisurely bus tour of Canada’s capital city, and cap off their visit with a tour of Canadian War Museum. It was Cao’s second time competing. Last year, she also went to the nation’s capital to show off her geographic prowess. While she didn’t win, she did enjoy the process. “All expenses paid. It was amazing,” she said in an interview last year, noting she especially enjoyed meeting TV celebrity host Alex Trebek. This year’s competition was June 4 and 5 and close to half of the 20 contestants hailed from Ontario. The challenge began in September at more than 600 schools, with more than 20,000 students across Canada participating in classroom testing. After each school champion completed the provincial/territorial level in February, 20 of the top students won their way to the national finals. In Ottawa, the finalists experienced two days of answering tough questions and demanding field work designed to assess their geographical knowledge.

Protect Yourself Against

Lyme Disease FIGHT THE BITE!

What is Lyme disease? Lyme disease is an illness caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria that is spread through the bite of an infected blacklegged tick (deer tick). Lyme disease does not spread from human to human.

What are the symptoms? A circular rash referred to as a bull’s-eye rash could be one of the earliest symptoms of an infection. If you develop a bull’s-eye rash, fever, chills or extreme fatigue or feel like you have the flu, see your health care provider. Be sure to tell them if you have been active outdoors. If left untreated, Lyme disease could lead to more serious symptoms affecting the central nervous system, brain or heart.

Treating Lyme disease Lyme disease can be treated with antibiotics. Getting treatment in the early stages of the disease is critical for full recovery.

What are ticks?

Health will continue to conduct tick dragging at various locations across York Region’s nine towns and cities. While the risk is low, it is possible to be infected with Lyme disease from the bite of a blacklegged tick almost anywhere in Ontario. Other established blacklegged tick populations and Lyme disease endemic areas include parts of British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Northeast and upper Midwest United States and central Europe.

Protect yourself and your family It is important to protect yourself each time you are in a wooded or brushy area. Follow these simple tips to protect yourself: • Wear long pants and long-sleeved tops that are light-coloured to help spot ticks • Tuck your pants into your socks • Use an insect repellent containing DEET and apply according to manufacturer’s directions • Search your body for ticks

Ticks are small bugs, the size of a sesame seed, which feed off the blood of animals and humans. They are generally active through the spring, summer and fall. They can be found on tall grasses and bushes and can attach themselves to people or animals. Ticks do not fly and move slowly. Most tick bites are painless. Ticks feed slowly and will attach themselves for 24 to 72 hours. They are most likely to spread infection after being attached for 24 hours or more. Not all ticks are infected with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, therefore, not all tick bites will spread Lyme disease.

• Pay special attention to the groin, scalp, underarms and back

Where are blacklegged ticks found?

• Place the tick in a moistened paper towel and put in a screw-top container such as a plastic pill bottle or a plastic sealable baggie

The risk of Lyme disease is usually much greater in tick endemic areas because the probability of bites from infected ticks is much greater. In Ontario, blacklegged ticks are more commonly found in areas along the north shores of Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. Blacklegged ticks have also been found in York Region. York Region Public

• Remove attached ticks from your body as quickly as possible

Removing a tick • Remove it by grasping the tick with a set of tweezers as close as possible to the skin and pull it straight out • Do not squeeze the tick • Do not put anything on the tick or try to burn it off • Disinfect the area with rubbing alcohol

• Store the container in a refrigerator or freezer until the tick can be submitted to your local health unit for testing • Call York Region Health Connection at 1-800-361-5653

Ramadan: Muslim group launches ‘Fast with a Muslim Friend’ campaign

As millions of Muslims worldwide mark the holy month of Ramadan, Canada’s Ahamadiyya community is inviting people across the country to learn more about their faith by joining in a unique campaign. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama`at launched, on Monday, a national campaign, dubbed Fast with a Muslim Friend, that allows Canadians to experience how to start, keep and break a fast, while also learning why fasting during Ramadan is a core

tenet of Islam. To mark Ramadan, the ninth month on the Islamic calendar, many Muslims do not eat or drink any liquids from dawn until sunset. Fasting ends at sunset with an evening meal, known as the Iftar. Find out more about how to participate by visiting www.FastWithMuslims.com

Ride 4 Styles honours slain cop A little rain and wind did nothing to dampen the spirit of more than 150 bicycle riders determined to Ride For Styles Sunday in Stouffville.

The annual event in honour of 21 the memory of York Regional Police Const. Garrett Styles, who died in the line of duty in June 2011, was a “tribute to a great individual”, in the words of YRP Chief Eric Jolliffe, who was in attendance Sunday morning at the Community Safety Village in Stouffville. The Ride For Styles, now in its sixth year, featured 40- and 70-km bicycle rides to raise money for an assortment of local charities. It garnered $17,800 this year. In the six years they have taken place, the rides have raised nearly $100,000, according to chief organizer Det. Ken Bardai of YRP. —Tim Kelly

Are you not hearing clearly when a group of people are talking?

EW

Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything being said, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, the Audéo V hearing aid has been designed specifically to understand speech in group situations. The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in group situations, especially in restaurants. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that determine when you hear things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory centre of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

HEARING SENSATION! SWISS RESEARCHERS: AUDÉO V IS SUPERIOR FOR CONVERSATION.

Without Audéo V

With Audéo V

The Audéo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech. Developed by Swiss audiologists the Audéo V hearing aid is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can trial the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. During your FREE hearing test, our Hearing Care Professionals will determine how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the technology called “Autosense OS” plays. This technology can recognize where the person being spoken to is located and can amplify only his or her voice,

while ambient noise is reduced. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing aid can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds, seamlessly adjusting to the listening situation. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for the right candidates. Interested people can register for a free hearing test and trial of the Audéo V by calling 1-888-771-7459

Go from boring to affordably beautiful in the backyard Interior design trends continue to straddle the outdoors – and nowhere is it more exciting than in this year’s designs for the perfect patio oasis. No matter whether your outdoor space is large or small, there are now more options than ever to replicate the comfort and beauty found inside our homes with the latest products. Lifestyle expert, Janette Ewen, partnered with The Home Depot Canada to share some of this year’s top trends in outdoor décor: 1. Layered Patterns. Add dimension and texture to your outdoor space by layering attractive patterns. Outdoor rugs are a great way to incorporate both – they’re now available in more designs and colours than ever before, so you can find something that suits your space while adding comfort and warmth on a cool evening. You can also get creative and DIY by spray-

painting patterns with stencils onto an existing rug. Would you like to play with patterns without making a huge investment? Try using wrapping paper – like bold stripes or chevron - as a table runner. 2. Canadiana. Get nostalgic with traditional cottage décor like vintage canoe paddles, lake-signage and found objects. And don’t forget the staple Muskoka-style chairs. While the wooden ones give a more classic look, they are also available in more modern sleek designs and shades – and in kid-size. 3. Rustic English Garden. Go Downton Abbey with soft touches of pastels and Victorian-era design. Think about patios filled with flowers, herbs and oversized wicker furniture with plush cushions. 4. Nautical Accents. Thick stripes and preppy prints in classic reds and blues

can add a hint of seaside splendour to any outdoor space. Many cushions and pillows feature vibrant, fade-resistant colours and are made with high-
