Complaining York Region’s history of being home to traditional family-friendly communities is under threat, politicians and developers will work over the summer to convince Queen’s Park to reduce its ambitious intensification targets. “It (the provincial growth plan) doesn’t seem realistic. It’s as if I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole. They can’t be saying that. But that is what the request is,” said Don Given, partner with planning consulting firm Malone Given Parsons. “There is something logically wrong here. I think the staff at the province is starting to get it but we need to hear (from regional staff and councillors) that this has to be revisited. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense.” The intensification target will force future residents into condo towers over family homes, said Eddie Weisz, president of Paradise Developments Corp., based in Markham. “This new (policy) of intensification is really going to choke off our land supply. Housing has become unaffordable. Not everybody wants to live vertical (in buildings), a lot of people want to have a backyard, want to live in communities,” he said. “There’s a lot of people in this room who live in houses, enjoy living in houses, want to live in houses.

Social media divided after female driver punched for honking BY JEREMY GRIMALDI
jgrimaldi@yrmg.com
A social media debate is raging on Facebook after a woman told police she was punched in the face after honking at an elderly man as he crossed the street. The messages in favour of the man and the driver began to appear after police sought the public’s help identifying him. The incident occurred shortly after 1 p.m. on May 31 when a woman was stopped at a red light on Cordoba Drive/Bathurst Street.
Police said a man was seen crossing the intersection and as the light turned green, the man was still walking across the intersection. The woman in the vehicle honked her horn and the man allegedly hit her in the face. Once she stepped out, police said she was assaulted again. In reply to the details one account, registered to Andrew Schuch, suggested the man not only had the right of way, but the driver was being rude in honking.
“Talk about road rage. She shouldn’t have honked at him since he still has the right of way right,” he questioned. “Even if it was green for her she still has to wait. Hope someone honks at her when she’s crossing the street somewhere.” Another account registered to Kathy Bishop suggest that honking at a pedestrian crossing the road was out of order to begin with. “I’m sorry she was injured, but honking at a pedestrian crossing the road is just rude,” she wrote. Others maintained the man was
at fault for responding with violence regardless of her behaviour. “Folks...let’s not lose sight of what the real issue is here,” wrote an account registered to Helen Roukas Stamatopoulos. “It’s not about her honking her horn (whether in the right or wrong). It’s about the vicious attack that followed. Let’s cooperate with the police in helping to find this man to prevent a similar incident.” Police have said the victim was not injured and declined medical attention.
York police are trying to identify man, captured on a motorist’s dash-cam, following an alleged assault in Vaughan on May 31.

North GO station gets approval, not Concord site By Adam Martin-Robbins

Vaughan is looking at redrawing its electoral boundaries in response to rapid growth in Vaughan the past several years.
Vaughan eyes redrawn ward map By Adam Martin-Robbins
amartinrobbins@yrmg.com
The city is looking at redrawing its electoral boundaries in response to the rapid growth that’s happened in Vaughan during the past several years. And the consulting team working on the project wants to hear from you. Three options – aimed at creating an equitable representation system in time for the 2018 municipal election – are currently being weighed. Those options are: • Maintain the current five wards. This would result in an increased average ward population of 71,600, up from 62,800, by 2022. • Maintain current average ward population of 62,800. This would be achieved by creating a sixth ward. • Reduce the number of wards to four.
Cyclists ride for local hospitals More than 200 cyclists will take to the road Sunday for Mackenzie Health Foundation’s 2nd annual Ride for Health, presented by CIBC, in support of the Exceptional Care Belongs Here campaign. Cyclists of all levels have taken on the challenge of a 60- or 100-km route to help purchase state-of-the-art equipment for Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital and help build and equip the future Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital.
This would result in an increased average ward population of 89,500. The third option is based on the Ontario Municipal Board’s recognition of the role local and regional councillors play in helping share the workload of local ward councillors, according to a report prepared by the consulting team working on the project. The Region of York is considering increasing the number of regional councillors representing Vaughan to four from the current three. Before a decision is made on the preferred option, the consulting team behind the project – comprised of the Canadian Urban Institute, Beate Bowron Etcetera, The Davidson Group and Hemson Consulting – is seeking feedback from residents. To that end, public meetings have been set, including:
• Thursday, June 23 from 7 to 9p.m. in committee room 242 at city hall, 2141 Major Mackenzie Dr. in Maple. • Saturday, June 25 from 10 a.m. until noon in activity room 1 at Al Palladini Community Centre, 9201 Islington Ave., in Woodbridge. • Wednesday, June 29, 7 to 9 p.m at city hall in Room 242. If you can’t attend, you can complete an online survey at http://fluidsurveys. com/s/vaughanwbr-optionssurvey/. A hard copy of the survey can also be filled out at the public meetings. The goal is to identify a preferred option by September. Once that happens, there will be another round of public consultation. A final report, with a recommendation for ward boundary changes, is expected to go before city council in January 2017.
Actor, producer and celebrity chef David Rocco and Transportation Minister and Vaughan MPP Steven Del Duca will join event co-chairs Domenic Gurreri and Mark Roccatani for the ride. Ride for Health committee member Glen McCarthy says his passion for cycling helped him recover from not one, but two strokes. It was the cycling photographs he had covering his patient room walls during his recovery at Mackenzie Health that gave him inspiration, “I am deeply grateful for the quality of care I received at Mackenzie Health and can’t say enough about the health care
team members – my biggest cheerleaders,” McCarthy says. Mackenzie Health Foundation is spearheading the $250-million Exceptional Care Belongs Here campaign to help build and equip Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital, and enhance care at Mackenzie Richmond Hill. The June 26 ride takes place at Copper Creek in Kleinburg. Registration starts at 6:30 a.m. with a light breakfast. Opening remarks are at 7:30 a.m. The ride starts at 8 a.m.. There is a buffet lunch at 11 a.m. followed by a post-ride celebration at 12:15 p.m. To register, visit MHFRide.ca

The provincial transit agency is poised to give the green light to a new GO train station in Vaughan’s north end, but some city councillors say a proposed station in the south end should stay on track, too. A report by Metrolinx president and CEO Bruce McCuaig, released Tuesday, recommends a new GO Train station at Kirby Road, near Keele Street, be included in the agency’s 10-year Regional Express Rail program. If built, the station would serve riders on the Barrie GO line that runs downtown to Toronto’s Union Station. “The provincial Growth Plan tells us to build sustainable communities with a focus on transit services. The area around the Kirby GO Station will be a central transit hub with the GO station being the crown jewel of that hub,” Maple/Kleinburg Councillor Marilyn Iafrate, who has been lobbying for a station since 2011 said in a news release. “It has been an amazing and gratifying five years of advocating the need for this station. And just as rewarding is the immense support that I got from residents who recognized the need well before Metrolinx did.” The Kirby Road station is one of five new stations on the Barrie corridor and a dozen across the GO transit network that the report recommends be constructed during the next decade. The four other proposed stations on the Barrie line are at Spadina Avenue and Front Street; Bloor Street and Lansdowne Avenue; Mulock Drive near Bayview Avenue in Newmarket and 6th Line in Innisfil. Metrolinx initially looked at more than 120 potential sites. Those were whittled down to 50 then 24 before the final 12 recommended locations along the Barrie, Kitchener, Lakeshore East and Stouffville lines were arrived at. Among the stations that didn’t make the cut was one at Hwy. 7, near Keele Street, in Concord also along the Barrie line. The reason for that, according to the report, had to do with higher construction costs and the fact ridership is “limited by the new subway to the west.” But Thornhill Councillor Alan Shefman said, while the Kirby station is welcome news, Hwy. 7 near Keele Street is an ideal location for a new GO station because it provides a link to the Spadina Subway extension and York Region’s bus rapid transit line. “I think the Concord GO is a much smarter decision for Vaughan,” he said. “The issue is connectivity. If you look around, we just don’t have it. “ Concord/Thornhill North Councillor Sandra Yeung Racco echoed those comments. “Concord is the major (transit) hub that will connect everything together,” she said. Yeung Racco also noted that, in addition to building a new station in Vaughan, Metrolinx needs to address the severe parking shortage at the two existing stations on Major Mackenzie Drive and Rutherford Road. The Metrolinx board is to make a decision on the report’s recommendations at its June 28 meeting.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE #2 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDY Huntington Road From Langstaff Road to McGillivray Road (Part A) and From Major Mackenzie Drive to Nashville Road (Part B) STUDY BACKGROUND The City of Vaughan has initiated a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for road improvements along Huntington Road to accommodate population and employment growth in western Vaughan. The proposed road improvements are consistent with objectives outlined in the Vaughan Transportation Master Plan (2013). The Class EA study area consists of two separate sections to account for the planned termination of Huntington Road at McGillivray Road: • Part A – between Langstaff Road and McGillivray Road; • Part B – between Major Mackenzie Drive and Nashville Road. The separation of the study area and the termination of Huntington Road at McGillivray Road are the result of the planned extension of Highway 427 that will pass through Huntington Road and include a new interchange at Major Mackenzie Drive. STUDY PROCESS The Class EA process includes public and review agency consultation, evaluation of alternatives, assessment of impacts of the proposed improvements and identification of measures to mitigate any adverse impacts. Upon completion of the study, an Environmental Study Report will be filed for public record. PUBLIC CONSULTATION – YOU ARE INVITED Public consultation is a key component of this study. The project team has been committed to meaningfully engaging the public and review agencies in determining the preferred solution. The first Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on November 25, 2014, where the project team introduced the study, provided background information on studies related to the undertaking, presented the preliminary problem statement and established a stakeholder contact list for future consultation. Based on feedback from the first PIC, the project team has identified and evaluated alternative designs for both sections of the study area and has recommended the following preliminarily road improvements: • Part A: Widen Huntington Road from two to four lanes, including a multi-use path to accommodate cycling and walking • Part B: Maintain two lanes of traffic and urbanize the roadway while providing a multi-use path You are invited to attend the second and final PIC, where the preliminary recommended design concepts and supporting information will be available for review. The PIC will be held as a drop-in session that will provide the opportunity to review display boards and converse with City staff and members of the consultant team. Details of this event are as follows:

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT UPDATED MPAC ASSESSMENT Markham RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS have received an updated property assessment notice from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) that will be used to calculate your property taxes for the years 2017 to 2020. Provincial law requires the City to adjust its tax rates relative to the City-wide average increase, to ensure the City collects the same amount of property taxes as the prior year.
The updated MPAC assessment doesn’t result in additional revenue to the City of Markham
What does this mean to you?
The updated assessment reallocates property taxes within the City by measuring how individual property values have changed, relative to all other properties in the City.

Did your property value increase at a greater rate than the City average?
Did your property value increase at the same rate as the City average?
Did your property value increase at a lower rate than the City average?
If yes, you will pay more property tax, phased in from 2017-2020
If yes, you will pay the same property taxes
If yes, you will pay less property tax starting in 2017
The City of Markham will calculate the City-wide average increase, after MPAC issues updated notices for the property types below: ● Farm Property Assessment Notices to be mailed October 11 ● Business and Multi-Residential Notices to be mailed October 18 Note: Impacts of the updated assessment are separate from the municipal budget process.

Notice of Completion City of Vaughan Bowstring Arch Bridge - Humber Bridge Trail Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study Revision to Schedule ‘B’ Project In 2013, the City of Vaughan completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to identify a preferred solution for the Humber Bridge Trail Bowstring Arch Bridge located east of Highway 27 and north of Major Mackenzie Drive. The study was conducted in accordance with the requirements for Schedule “B” projects as prescribed in the Municipal Class EA (2010, as amended in 2007 and 2011) under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Upon completion of the EA, the City of Vaughan was able to proceed to implementation of the preferred solution to rahabilitate the bridge. In 2015, the City of Vaughan conducted a structural assessment of the existing bridge and a life cycle cost analysis of the bridge rehabilitation preferred alternative, as well as potential alternatives for a new concrete bowstring arch bridge or structural steel girder bridge. The results of this assessment and analysis indicated that the preferred solution to rehabilitate the bridge is not viable and the City of Vaughan identified a need to amend the 2013 EA in accordance with Municipal Class EA requirements for revisions to Schedule ‘B’ projects. The Municipal Class EA acknowledges that it may be necessary to revise Schedule ‘B’ projects. A revision to the previously completed Project File has been prepared to summarize the planning process followed to evaluate and assess the Humber Trail Bridge alternative solutions. Following this revision, the preferred solution is to replace the existing bridge with a new structural steel girder bridge. The revision to the schedule ‘B’ Project is available for public review from June 23, 2016 to July 22, 2016 during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) at the following location: City of Vaughan - Infrastructure Delivery Department 2141 Major Mackenzie Drive Vaughan, ON L6A 1T1 The revision to the schedule ‘B’ Project is also available for viewing on the project website: http:www.vaughan.ca/projects/engineering projects/HBTbridge. Anyone with an interest in the study is encouraged to review the revision to the schedule ‘B” Project and provide written comments to the City of Vaughan.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Technology? Meet activity
Thanks to all for charity golf success
t seems we are the lethargic victims of our over-active technological appetites. This is especially the case when it comes to our sluggish, lackadaisical kids. ParticipACTION — a non-profit national organization that encourages physical activity and overall healthy living — released its latest study last week, and to say the results are alarming, would be a gross understatement. The group’s latest findings are that children are not getting enough sleep because they don’t get enough activity during the day to make them tired. The group also found children spend way too much time staring at computers and mobile device screens — which keeps them indoors, sitting for long periods of time — and away from the movement, fresh air and social interaction their growing bodies and minds so desperately need. The most disturbing discovery is that children are sleep deprived, which sets off a cyclical downward spiral, making them less active and lazy from the minute they awake. This should set off an alarm clock for adults who care for, nurture and supervise today’s youngsters. We must kick out of bed this disturbing trend where it’s now the norm for children to be sluggish and unmotivated. This is the part where I could preach about how my generation — which grew up in the 1960s and ’70s — was outside playing at the crack of dawn each day; swimming at the beach, popping flies on the baseball field or hanging upside down at the park, only to return hours later for supper and then fall, exhausted, into bed. But I won’t do that. It’s a much different world out there today and, because of that, we have to re-invent how to live in the 21st century. We need to find that balance between our brain’s thirst for technological discovery and our inherent need for physical activity and stimulation. We need to look to educators to take a few first crucial steps to reconciling the mess we’ve all created. The good news is, there are
Re: Women’s golf tourney in Thornhill boosts regional Hill House Hospice, May 26. This is a thank you for all the support The Liberal gave us for the Hill House Hospice Charity golf event. The event at Thornhill Golf and Country Club was a resounding success, raising well over our goal of $35,000 for Hill House Hospice and we are still counting. We had hundreds of sponsors, corporate and individual, give large and small donations. We entertained 70 golfers for the tournament and 80 folks for lunch, with lots of action for our silent auction and raffle items. Hill House’s Anne Marie Dean came out to play golf and at lunch spoke about what a truly wonderful facility Hill House is for both patients and their families. The audience came away from the event knowing how very important palliative care is today’s society. As well, we had supportive individuals who helped

Tracy Kibble slow emerging clues that we are starting to turn the tide on our over-indulgent, dozing, lazy lifestyles, but it’s coming at a snail’s pace. Communities, for example, are being designed to incorporate more active lifestyles, encouraging families to get out of their vehicles and into the sunshine. And many young parents are starting to head outdoors with their children to promote that balance of physical and intellectual bonding and play. Here’s a few suggestions to keep the momentum going: • Ensure every public school in Ontario has at least one teacher on staff with a degree and/or training in physical education: a majority of teachers don’t have the slightest idea how to get children moving and have little knowledge about the science of how young bodies work and flourish. • Make physical and health education part of our school curriculum from Grade 1, so that children learn to appreciate and value, at a very young age, how energy, team-building sports and rampedup metabolisms make for sharper minds and better night’s sleeps. • Make physical education a three-credit course in high school. As it is now, only one credit is required and, after that, most students, especially girls, never see a gym class for the next three years. • Finally, and this is the most important suggestion: parents must limit screen time to no more than a few hours each day. Studies show only 24 per cent of five to 17-year-olds meet the Canadian Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines recommendation of no more than two hours of recreational screen time per day, according to a Canadian Health Measures survey in 2012.

Unionville Festival ticketing disgraceful I have had the pleasure of living in Unionville and attending the Unionville Festival for the past 30 years. It is a huge draw to Unionville and people drive from all over Toronto and the GTA. On the Saturday of the festival, I was walking along Carlton Road and witnessed some rather surprising behavior by two City of Markham employees. They were ticketing cars parked along Carlton Road in front of Toogood Pond. Shame on you, City of Markham! I’m all for following the “posted signs”, which did state no parking. However, in this instance
Carlton Road was closed and the only traffic going through was to get to the festival itself. I’m ashamed at the money grab from the city on what was supposed to be a community event. Someone from the City of Markham instructed those employees to ticket those cars on THAT day at THAT time. Exceptions can always be made when common sense prevails. Recently, the festival has had issues with raising money and has been unable to provide the fireworks on Saturday evening and most recently, was unable to have the family treasure hunt this year. Maybe the city can give the money they made off the parking tickets to help fund those events at next year’s festival? My apologizes to those who got tickets - the actions of the City of Markham to ticket you on that day do NOT reflect the options of the all residents of Unionville.

your grandkids are going to have a lot more difficult time finding singlefamily housing because of affordability…I’m really nervous in what’s coming forward and I hope decisions will be made that will allow York Region to develop in an orderly fashion but to continue developing and I’m not sure that is going to happen with these new rules.” Last month, former municipal affairs minister Ted McMeekin announced the province is moving to increase intensification targets so that at least 60 per cent of all new residential development will be built in already established communities. The current target is 40 per cent. More intensification will result in less urban sprawl, more compact and livable communities and will support investments in public transit, McMeekin said. The province has set a Sept. 30 deadline for comments on the growth plan and greenbelt plan, prompting councillors and developers to pledge to use the summer to try to convince the province to rethink its ambitious proposal. “They (provincial officials) are a little bit removed from it because they are operating at 40,000 feet.
Sometimes, they have to land on the ground to figure out exactly how these things function,” Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua said, adding the issue will foster important discussions among key players over the next three months. “This action by the province will, obviously, literally alter the landscape of our communities.” Earlier this year, York councillors rejected a pitch from regional planning officials to bump the intensification target here to 45 per cent, arguing that would go too far in changing the region’s traditional housing landscape. Critics of the province’s plan also argue building fewer traditional “ground-level” housing options will send already soaring housing prices out of the reach of even more residents as demand will far outstrip supply. The province is aware of concerns with its plan but believes the intensification target will provide better communities, said Mark Cripps, senior communications adviser to new municipal affairs minister Bill Mauro. “We recognize that housing affordability is a serious concern in the region. The market and pricing of housing is complex. Cost and afford-
ability are influenced by many factors such as location, proximity to transit and construction costs. The evidence suggests that there is enough land already designated for development to accommodate increasing population in the GTHA (Greater Toronto Hamilton Area) for more than 20 years,” he said in an email.
‘This action by the province will, obviously, literally alter the landscape of our communities’ More than 80 per cent of GTA homebuyers, both in Toronto and the surrounding regions, want homes in transit-accessible and walkable neighbourhoods, an RBC-Pembina survey showed. “The growth plan directs municipalities to plan communities that provide a range and mix of housing types, close to transit and places to work. Affordable housing can be provided in a way that also supports our goal to curb sprawl and make sure that we are building healthy, livable, safe, complete communities that protect green spaces and pro-
vide for the needs of all of Ontarians,” Cripps said. But while the province has come up with a proposal that sounds good on paper, it has left it up to municipalities to implement a plan that will bring many challenges, said Paula Tenuta, vice-president of policy and government relations with the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD). “It’s clear that the province has left this in the hands of municipalities to figure much of this out. What is needed, perhaps, is an advisory group made up of municipal representatives to show the province if it’s feasible or not,” she said. “For us at BILD, it’s not a lowrise versus high-rise versus mid-rise versus mixed-use conversation. It’s about housing affordability and choice. We feel the proposed amendments may eventually limit that housing choice for the residents of York Region.” The province’s intensification numbers are difficult to envision, particularly in a northern community facing rapid growth, East Gwillimbury Mayor Virginia Hackson said. “These numbers will be unimaginable for those that are there now and even for the ones, as we’re selling homes today and tomorrow, 70,000

homes in the next couple of years, they won’t expect the Town of East Gwillimbury to be anything like this, let alone a community such as ours that impacts dramatically on Georgina, Newmarket, Aurora and even King,” she said, adding she is concerned about how public transit will serve the ballooning community. “We are not going to have a subway in East Gwillimbury, I know that. Not in my lifetime and I suspect probably never. The dramatic intensity for a small community that will not have the transit, it’s the rapid transit that we need. The GO train is there but early plans are not to extend it sufficiently.” Hackson called on the province to extend its deadline to comment on the plan, arguing the public has no idea what is being proposed. Vaughan Councillor Mario Ferri agreed. “This will have a fundamental shift and a fundamental change in our communities and I think it’s incumbent on those who are designing this to engage and inform those that are going to be affected,” he said. “Now, there may be great support for this and that’s fine but the fact remains that the public is not aware and is not as informed as I believe they should be.”

Residents voice objections to Sobeys plaza redevelopment “Go back to the drawing board”. This was the message residents had for RioCan at a public hearing at Vaughan City Hall Tuesday night. The hearing related to the proposed redevelopment of Springfarm Marketplace, known as Sobey’s Plaza at the corner of Clark and Hilda avenues in Thornhill. Council chambers were so filled residents were sitting on steps or standing in the aisles or gathered in an overflow room.
Residents criticized the closing of the plaza’s Hilda Street entrance, the height of the proposed 20-storey condo building and what they said was a failure to abide by Vaughan’s official plan and existing bylaws. They also lamented the conduct of RioCan, saying the company did not listen to public feedback on proposed changes to the plaza. After presentations from the public, David McKay, a planning consultant for RioCan said: “Some aspects, we didn’t realize or look at. We will work together on the proposal.” He added: “They (RioCan) are here to stay.” For more coverage, go to yorkregion.com

You’re invited to admire and stroll through some of the most beautiful gardens in your community. The Thornhill Garden & Horticultural Society’s annual Garden Tour takes place Sunday, July 10, from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (rain or shine). The theme of this year’s tour is “variety is the spice of life ... and gardens.” Each of the eight Thornhill gardens on the self-guided tour has its own unique horticultural features and beauty. Five are previous winners of the society’s annual garden recognition program — Thornhill’s Top 100 Gardens. One award-winning garden is owned and maintained by renowned horticulturalist Marion Jarvie and her husband, Alex. Their front and back gardens have been transformed, over a period of more than 50 years, into “magnificent masterpieces,” showing many exquisite and diverse plant species and colours throughout the half-acre landscaped and pond areas, noted Bernadette Burns, president of the horticultural society.
Another garden on the tour was only started a few years ago by an information technology manager who is passionate about gardening. After establishing a beautiful front garden, he is now adding familiar as well as little-known perennials in his heritage home’s rear garden area. One multi-tiered garden in the Thornbank area is part of the tour for the first time. “Our society truly appreciates the efforts of these homeowners, as well as so many more, who continue to contribute to the beautification of the Thornhill community,” said Burns.

Are dryers a dangerous appliance? The Ontario fire department responds to a dryer fire on average every 2 days. Dryers produce highly flammable lint that accumulates in the venting system and in the dryers housing. All dryers employ either electric or gas heating elements that can become an ignition point for lint. The combination of lint and high heat creates a fire hazard if allowed to go unchecked for an extended period of time. Vents that are clogged damaged, or constructed of improper materials make your dryer work harder, causing mechanical failures that can also ignite lint and cause a dryer fire. Signs that your dryer or vent needs attention are: clothes take
longer than a normal cycle to dry, lint build-up around the outside of your dryer, your dryer shuts off mid cycle, or there is a burning smell. Dryer manufacturers typically recommend you have your dryer vents serviced annually. A professional dryer vent specialist will run a complete diagnostic of your dryer and venting to ensure the system is fire safe and energy efficient. They will ensure your vent is properly installed with the proper venting material and offer tips on how to make your dryer safe and last longer. Having your dryer properly maintained will make your dryer fire safe and can decrease energy costs by up to $24 per month. Read more at www.homestars.com

Shaar Shalom Synagogue’s members have officially voted to sell the Thornhill building on Simonston Boulevard near Don Mills Road, just north of Steeles Avenue. It was an emotional decision, according to synagogue president Seymour Hersh. “It is like a death in the family. I recognized the impending death early in the year and had to deliver that news to members. I’ve gone through 30 days (of mourning); now I am in my 11th month ... other members are still dealing with it as if it is fresh. It is still fresh for some. It is hard for them,” Hersh said. In a special meeting June 8, members voted on several issues, including whether to re-distribute the synagogue’s assets and whether to sell the building. Several families living in the Don Mills Road and Steeles Avenue area started the synagogue in a house basement. Now, after 44 years, the synagogue is scheduled to close its doors June 30. The warning signs are easy to pinpoint, Hersh says. When Hersh moved into the area more than 25 years ago, it was “very Jewish,” he said. Ten years later, children were growing up and buying homes farther west, closer to Bathurst Street. The area’s demographic change affected synagogue membership. “Our immediate base dropped dramatically. Kids moved elsewhere,” Hersh said. The change in demographics happened slowly, he said. “It creeps up on you.” About 20 years ago, the synagogue had 600 “units,” referring to a family or an individual. The synagogue now has about 400 families

Bust Belly Fat with GLUCOsmart Lorna Vanderhaeghe
Belly fat is a stubborn problem. No end of sit-ups Canada’s leading women’s natural health expert and crunches make it disappear. We know there is a connection between our expanding waistlines and our hormones. Insulin is a powerful hormone that, when in excess, causes belly fat and an elevation in circulating male hormones in women, causing facial hair growth and acne too. Thankfully, busting belly fat and normalizing insulin just got easier. GLUCOsmart containing Chirositol™ has been researched in over 30 studies at the Virginia Medical School, showing it aids weight weight loss and stops sugar FREE cravings. But where GLUCOsmart BOOK P U RCH A SE really shines is in fighting belly fat in both men and women. WITH
‘It is like a death in the family,’ says president
or individuals. “While we started with a majority of families with young children, as we age, we have moved to singles and senior couples (50/50),” Hersh said. Five years ago, when the synagogue faced a similar challenge, it reacted by trying to rebuild. It found a new rabbi and tried to pick up the tempo of its programs. “We thought, let’s try, and we jumped in with all of our energy,” Hersh said. In the end, there was a harsh realization. The new focus had not been enough to sustain and rejuvenate the synagogue. “Our membership wasn’t growing, the clergy was leaving, it was time for us to recognize reality,“ Hersh said. The synagogue’s rabbi and cantor both had contracts up for renewal and neither clergy opted to remain at the synagogue. To explain the demise of the synagogue, Hersh compares the society of yesterday to today’s society. His parents and grandparents were from the old country (Poland and Russia) when going to synagogue was an expected part of life. Every little town had a rabbi. “They always had synagogues embedded in their fabric,” Hersh said. Compare this to when the synagogue invited in some “millennials” to find out what the younger generation wanted from their synagogue. As it turns out, issues such as how and where to find a job were the priority for many young people, while spending time at the synagogue was way down on their priority list. “They have more important things to worry about. It’s a different culture now,” Hersh said. The question many in this generation had was how will going to synagogue help me find a job?

West Nile virus Spoil a mosquito’s dinner plans
Fight the bite…
What is West Nile virus?
West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne virus that is spread to humans from the bite of an infected mosquito.
What are the symptoms of West Nile virus?
Most people infected with West Nile virus have no symptoms or have flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches and fatigue. Sometimes West Nile virus can cause severe illness including meningitis and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Symptoms usually develop within two to 15 days of being bitten by an infected mosquito.
Who is at risk for West Nile virus?
Everyone who is outside during the summer months is at risk for West Nile virus and should take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. People with a chronic illness and the elderly should be especially careful.
What York Region is doing…
The York Region West Nile virus Control Plan for 2016 includes mosquito-control activities (larviciding), public education, and mosquito and human surveillance.
What is larviciding?
Larviciding is a low-risk and effective measure for the control of West Nile virus. The slow-release pellet formulation interferes with the mosquito lifecycle, preventing the mosquito larvae from reaching maturity. Larvicide is not sprayed and will be applied into the standing water of catch basins in four phases from June through September.
Will York Region apply larvicide on private property? If you are concerned about catch basins on your property, place a mesh screen over the catch basin to prevent mosquitoes from entering and exiting. A limited number of backyard catch basins located on private property will be treated with larvicide on a case-by-case basis.
What you can do…
Prevention and protection are the best ways to protect yourself and your family from West Nile virus.
Clean up
The best way to keep mosquitoes away is to clean up areas of standing water where they like to breed. Look around your house and property and get rid of places that are “mosquito friendly”. • Clean up and empty containers where water collects such as old tires, tin cans and flower pots • Change water in bird baths weekly • Remove water that collects on pool covers • Turn over items such as wading pools, wheelbarrows and small boats • Clear leaves and twigs from eavestroughs, storm and roof gutters • Unclog drainage ditches so that water flows freely • Make sure swimming pool pumps are circulating water • Clear out dense shrubbery where mosquitoes like to rest • Turn over compost frequently • Check that door and window screens are tight-fitting and in good repair • Drill holes in the bottoms of containers so water cannot collect
Cover up
Mosquitoes are most active between dusk and dawn. Protect yourself and your family • Wear light-coloured, long-sleeved shirts and pants • Consider using federally-registered insect repellents on exposed skin, such as those containing DEET • Always follow product instructions • The concentration of DEET should be no greater than 30 per cent for adults and no greater than 10 per cent for children • DEET-based repellents can also be used on top of clothing. Do not use repellents under clothing • Several DEET-free botanical repellents are federally registered but provide a shorter time of effectiveness
EW
York Region Public Health does not recommend the use of bat boxes as an effective method of mosquito control due to the risk of rabies. In previous summers, some bats in York Region have tested positive for rabies.
Two lucky York Region residents picked up lottery winnings in recent days. Franco Bisceglia of Woodbridge is planning a trip to Italy after winning $100,000 in the June 2 Daily Keno draw. “I bought my winning ticket just before going on vacation to Florida,” shared Bisceglia while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to picked up his cheque. “I left the ticket sitting in my truck the whole time, not realizing I was going to find out I was a winner when I got home.” When he got back home from Florida he took some lottery tickets to have them
scanned in the ticket checker. “I thought I saw $100 flash on the screen. After scanning the ticket again I saw the words, ‘Big Winner.’ That’s when I knew it was a much bigger win.” The father of two tucked his ticket back into his pocket and said nothing. “That night, my wife, sons, daughters-in-law and eight grandchildren got together to watch a soccer game at a restaurant and that’s when I told them. They were so happy, they started hugging and kissing me. And of course, I paid for dinner,” laughed Bisceglia.
“We love to travel and we see ourselves taking an amazing vacation back to Italy to visit family. This is our dream come true.” He purchased his Daily Keno ticket from News West on Langstaff Road in Woodbridge. Richmond Hill’s Dayanand Ramdehalchand is also celebrating after winning $51,029.40 from the June 11 Lotto 6/49 draw. His winning ticket was purchased at Food Basics on Major Mackenzie Drive East in Richmond Hill. For more information, visit olg.ca

Are you not hearing clearly when a group of people are talking? 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.
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 1.888.408.7377

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.

Grant paves way for elder abuse conference
The Thornhill Liberal | Thursday, June 23, 2016 |

BY LISA QUEEN
lqueen@yrmg.com
Calling crimes against seniors a hidden problem, the Prevention of Elder Abuse Committee of York Region will use a modest provincial grant to hold a conference later this year to promote awareness of the issue. “It’s really great to hold a conference because that’s our mandate, to raise awareness,” committee member Leslie Bubeloff said. “It’s what they call a hidden crime. It’s a hard thing to put a number to because it is so under-reported.” The committee will receive $2,887 from
the provincial government to host the conference, Newmarket-Aurora MPP Chris Ballard announced Monday. The announcement came as welcome news to Bubeloff, who said the committee is struggling financially after its two-year Trillium grant of $146,000 ended in February. A date and venue for the conference have yet to be determined but the event will be aimed at seniors, caregivers, front-line workers and volunteers such as Meals on Wheels drivers who deal with seniors, Bubeloff said. “In the community, what we’re finding is a lot of times, even though they know what elder abuse is, they haven’t got a clue what to

do about it, who to talk to. That was the idea behind this conference,” she said. “The thing is, it’s not really well-recorded because there is so much unreported abuse going on, supposedly. I don’t have stats because there are no stats on it, really. That’s the unfortunate part. “The Prevention of Elder Abuse Committee of York Region, our goal is to basically raise awareness and promote education around what is elder abuse, how to prevent elder abuse and what are the resources available in the community and to get people working together to prevent elder abuse.” Elder abuse is a concern in the region, York Regional Police Const. Andy Pattenden said. “Other than children, seniors are some of the most vulnerable members of society. With the senior population on the rise, incidents of abuse are bound to increase but can be prevented,” he said. “Often, there are signs someone is being abused. Know what to look for and get involved. York Regional Police will investigate complaints of abuse and will lay charges when the law has been broken.” Society and the criminal justice system need to do more to acknowledge and recognize the victimization of vulnerable adults, said Pattenden, adding there is no specific legislation in Ontario designed to protect them or mandate the reporting of suspected abuse or neglect. Any action or inaction that harms or threatens to harm a senior is abuse, including physical, emotional, sexual or financial abuse or
neglect, Pattenden said. Abusers can be relatives or business or personal contacts. “Abuse seldom gets reported, often for fear of being institutionalized, embarrassment, guilt, share or fear of punishment or retaliation,” Pattenden said. “Get involved and keep a watchful eye for loved ones or vulnerable persons…Don’t be afraid to ask for help, you are not alone. Police officers, doctors, nurses, social workers and faith leaders are trained to get you the help you deserve.” The grant to the committee was one of three handed out to Newmarket and Aurora seniors groups to help older residents stay connected, active and engaged in their communities, Ballard said. The others include $8,000 to InterChurch Health Ministries and $8,000 for York Region Food Network, which will run a series of workshops on food and storytelling to pilot the concept of using food as a connector and as a way for seniors to share their life stories and experiences. Launched in 2014, the Seniors Community Grant program has invested $5 million to support 923 projects helping 256,000 seniors across the province through projects focused on volunteerism, learning, social inclusion and physical activity.

York police feted for social media campaign By Jeremy Grimaldi
jgrimaldi@yrmg.com
When it comes to altering habits around impaired driving, communication is key. After all, it was the drunk driving campaigns of the 1990s and early 2000s that saw the numbers of those caught impaired behind the wheel plummet. But in the last few years, York Region has seen those numbers rise again – by an eye-popping 45 per cent between 2013 and 2015. That’s what makes the #Imthat-
person campaign by the York Regional Police all the more impactful. Rolled out at Newmarket’s Sacred Heart Catholic High School in November 2015, the social mediabased effort encouraged young and old to be “that person” to take an impaired individual’s keys, to call a taxi for those who shouldn’t get behind the wheel and to alert 911 when they see an impaired driver on the road. “We were sitting around the table thinking, ‘Why do we do what we

law enforcement — that we all play very important roles in creating safer roads,” Sgt. Kelly Bachoo said. The award is a boon to a force that has struggled over the past year, in particular, with the effects of drunk driving. Although the number of arrests have been rising since 2013, they’ve ballooned over the past year, despite the death of four members of the Neville-Lake family in Vaughan. “Personally, feeling the tragedy that night and being with the family through the court proceedings and

do?’” Sgt. Karen Hodge said. “Each of us have our own story (about impaired driving) that brought us here. It’s about being that person who is willing to take that stand, so there will be no regrets, no tragedies at the end of the day.” The effort paid off June 16 when the York Regional Police traffic bureau was handed the Traffic Initiative of the Year award by the Ministry of Transportation. “The campaign focused on shifting the mindset that impaired driving is not just the responsibility of

feeling the effects impaired driving has on people’s lives, you begin to wonder what don’t these people get?” questioned Const. Andy Pattenden. “I don’t think people are putting themselves in that position, they must never think that they will kill a family, be caught by RIDE or stopped by an officer.” Figures show that 2016, which has seen 674 people nabbed for drinking and driving so far, is shaping up to be one of the worst years for the offense. In 2015, York police nabbed 1,255 people.

The Thornhill Reds captured the title from the Vaughan Vikings AAA senior baseball tournament that culminated with a 7-6 win over the Newmarket Hawks in the final at Vaughan Grove park, Sunday. After suffering a 5-4 loss in their opening game against Strathroy Friday, the Reds rebounded the following day to reel off victories over Pickering 14-6, Ilderton 7-6 and Burlington 9-7 to advance to the semifinals. Facing Ilderton for a second time Sunday, the Reds punched their ticket into the final with a 15-5 win. The Reds got production up and down the order all weekend, but hitters two through six had huge numbers. Russell Mcgibbon, Sean Sutton, Harrison Greenough and Jacob Hillier each had at least four multi-hit games. Greenough also drove in 12 runs, including at least one RBI in all six contests. In winning the tournament title, the Reds also pocketed $1,000 in prize money. Currently sporting a 14-4 overall record and 8-2 mark in the Greater Toronto Baseball League, the first-place Reds were to resume their GTBL schedule against the Martingrove Sox at Bishop’s Cross Park Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. — Michael Hayakawa

Choose a colour scheme: A poolside oasis screams colour, so pick shades that are bright and fun. “For the overall surface of a cabana or deck, keep the natural look of the wood by using a semi-transparent stain. Add colour by painting the ceiling inside the cabana in a vivid blue like Blue Lagoon 2054-40 and contrast the deck rails with a dark grey stain like Ashland Slate 1608,” suggests Grech. “Tie it all together with patterned cushions and colourful drinkware, perfect for poolside lounging.”

service, and always replace rotten wood.” Once the surface has been properly examined and stripped if necessary, it’s time to wash and sand: • Ideally, wash the surface with a pressure washer as it will remove most surface grime; • Alternatively, use a commercial deck cleaning product and scrub with a deck brush, being sure to rinse clean; • Allow 48 hours to dry; • Once dry, sand the wood surface to remove any fuzzy grains. Be sure to wipe off the surface.

Beloved husband of Lillian (wed 1948), of the Oak Ridges Retirement Community, formerly of Peterborough. Donald was the son of the late Orril and Marjory Grandy of Omemee and dear brother to Ruth Johnson (Ted) of Toronto. After 41 successful years of employment as a Mechanical Draftsman with the Canadian General Electric Co. in Peterborough, he enjoyed 29 years of happy retirement at the family cottage on Paudash Lake, while volunteering many hours with St. James United Church. He especially enjoyed working on the sets for the plays performed by the ever-popular St. James Players. He will be dearly missed by his son, Robert Donald William Grandy, his daughter, Karyn Diane Banwell (Eric Bloksma) and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Krysta Gutteridge (Jay), and their children Lillian and Benjamin, Melissa Tilley (Brinley) and their son Reid, and David Banwell (Jenny). Funeral service will be held at St. James United Church, 221 Romaine Street (at Aylmer Street), Peterborough, Ontario, on Wednesday, June 29th, at 2pm. The Reverend Julie van Haaften will conduct the service. Interment at Little Lake Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to St. James United Church would be greatly appreciated.

New name, new logo, new focus for longtime Thornhill golf club mhayakawa@yrmg.com
The Thornhill Golf and Country Club is changing. Not just on its premises, where they host a classic 18-hole championship course that will play host to the Golf Ontario men’s amateur championships later this year, along with a nine-hole par-three facility, a curling facility, a recently opened fitness centre and yoga studio, three renovated clay tennis courts and a soon-to-be-opened outdoor swimming pool. But also in name — as it is now officially called the Thornhill Club. In incorporating a name change, the club also unveiled a new logo recently. The decision to change the name stemmed largely from the club’s evolving commitment to making their year-round, multi-purpose facility family oriented, said Joe Murphy, Thornhill Club general manager and chief operating officer. “For close to 100 years we have been home to a wonderfully designed Stanley Thompson golf course with an 18-hole championship course and a family-friendly nine-hole course that has been the heart and soul of this club,” said Murphy, who began his duties at the Thornhill Club in March. “As we move forward, golf will always be our core value, but we are much, much more than a top-100 golf course in Canada and we

want people to know about the other great programs and initiatives that we offer.” Stating the membership enthusiastically supported the name change, Murphy noted the new logo continues to highlight the fourseason uniqueness of the club with its snowflake and shining sun. It also incorporates a more stylish look. In making changes to their facilities and their marketing plans, Murphy hopes it will create more awareness and attract new members in a highly competitive marketplace. “The Thornhill Club is changing. It’s a club with everything for today’s avid golfer, their families, their active lifestyles and we’re striving to create a warm, friendly environment where everyone enjoys their time here,” Murphy said. As part of the branding exercise, The Thornhill Club is introducing a new entrance fee pricing structure for families and individuals in June. The Thornhill Club currently offers a variety of trial memberships for 2016 including – the Valley Course Trial Membership, the Learn to Golf Membership, a Long Course Trial Membership, as well as Clubhouse Active, Clubhouse Social, Tennis and Curling opportunities.
