KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com Richmond Hill is the latest riding where PC party members are crying foul over how their par ty is handling the process for nominating candidates. In ridings across the province, including KingVaughan, Mississauga-Erin-Mills, Burlington and Carleton, there are accusations of ballot-stuffing, falsified membership forms, fake and paid-for memberships and other "irregularities". Three other ridings Aurora-Newmarket, Ottawa-Nepean and Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas have filed notices of appeal for alleged rule-breaking. Now the results in Richmond Hill are being disputed. PC party members in Richmond Hill have raised concerns about cheating, and phone calls to people on a local membership list reveal many residents appear to have been contacted by candidate Lara Coombs and registered as members without their knowledge, payment or permission. Coombs would not comment on the allegations. She said she has appealed the results herself, based on inaccessibility of the voting venue - TMS School - to the disabled, along with other undisclosed issues. "I’d rather not go into detail. It’s in the hands of the party," she said. Rick Dykstra, Ontario PC Party president, wouldn’t comment on the appeals, but said, "It is against party rules to sign up anyone against their will." When Patrick Brown
ran for the PC leadership two years ago, he promised a transparent nomination process. But allegations about rigged elections and charges of systemic breaking of the rules have led some to question the transparency. With hopes rising that t h e p a r t y m a y h av e a chance at defeating the provincial Liberals, observers say the race for nominations has become a "feeding frenzy". In Richmond Hill, four candidates - Coombs, Ted Leider, Scott Sun and Daisy Wai - ran for the nomination and, in a crowded vote held Mother’s Day, results came down to a tie between Wai and Coombs. That tie was broken by riding president Al Itwar, who cast his vote for Wai. Now, as in other ridings across the province, there are allegations of wrongdoing. Only PC party members can vote for nominees - and that requires payment of a $10 annual fee along with the filling out of an application form with signature certifying the membership fee was paid using their own funds or those of an immediate family member. Coombs, a resident of Markham, quickly gathered a huge number of new Richmond Hill members about 1,200 names. Joe DiPaola, her campaign assistant (and husband of Charity McGrath, winner of another disputed race in Aurora-Newmarket), called Coombs "truly the best canvasser in the PC Party". But some disagree. "It’s not canvassing, it’s deceiving," said Wai, "A lot of people are really angry. People showed up [at the nomination voting site]

A "feeding frenzy" among those who want to be PC candidates has led to long-line-ups at nomination votes (shown here in Hamilton-West-AncasterDundas), and a slew of allegations about cheating. completely bewildered. They didn’t know why they were there. They were just told they needed to come and vote for a particular person."
“It’s not canvassing, it’s deceiving. A lot of people are really angry.” Richmond Hill PC candidate Daisy Wai Many were vulnerable people, she said, living in apartments, newcomers to the country and did not know their names were being added to a membership list. "They were pushed into it, feeling threatened because they might lose their
status as Canadians. It’s a shame when we are in Canada that this could happen.. Something bad in our community is going on and it’s taking away opportunities for people who have a real passion for their community." Richmond Hill Coun. Tom Muench, who attended the vote in support of another candidate, reported similar concerns. "We have lots of questions about who signed their papers for them, where they live, how membership numbers could have grown so drastically." Yorkre gion.com contacted 31 names on a list of local PC party members. All but one said they were unaware they were on the list, did not want to belong to the party, did not pay $10 and did not fill out the membership applica-
tion or sign it. Most were elderly or spoke English as a second language and rec a l l e d t h at C o o m b s, o r someone representing her, knocked on their doors. Vince Walter remembered Coombs as a "pleasant lady" who asked him to come to the vote. He was disturbed to receive a phone call later from someone informing him he was now a voting member of the Richmond Hill riding. "But I did not pay any money or sign anything and I don’t know who did," said the widower, who is in his 80s. "I’m not going to lay charges - I’m too old for that stuff - but, in my opinion, that’s fraudulent." Avelino DeSousa was also surprised to find her name on the membership list.
"No one said anything about membership and no one asked for any money. I just assumed anyone from the public could vote and I thought it was my civic duty, so I did." Anna Drobakha said she is a friend of Coombs and does not want the Liberals to be re-elected, so she volunteered as a scrutineer on voting day and vo t e d f o r C o o m b s , a l though she never paid or signed on as a member. "Nobody was asked for money," she said. Allegations of similar tactics in Aurora-Newmarket by McGrath have led to protests from the local riding association and appeals for the party executive to order a professional audit. DiPaola said some names on the membership list may have been entered in error. "To my knowledge, every member she got had paid $10 and signed their form. Lara was pretty particular about that," he said. "She did have some partially f illed out forms that were merely leads that she was going to go back to, to see if they would pay, and they may have been inadvertently added." Brown called in privatesector auditors PwC earlier this month to oversee the nomination process going forward and they were present to validate the Richmond Hill vote. But Les Kobli, former regional vice-president of the Ontario PC Party, said auditors are there to ensure the ballot count is acc u r at e , " n o t h i n g t o d o with checking whether they are actually a member or not, and whether they have paid for membership themselves."

ABOUT US
Water theft must be taken seriously While it may not garner the same attention as other crimes, water theft is on the rise in the GTA. Last week, we reported how thieves in trucks in Markham have been targeting municipal fire hydrants, taking their fill - often in broad daylight - and driving away. Close to $30,000 worth of water was stolen in 2016 - or nearly enough to fill three Olympic-sized pools. Even so, just five thefts were reported to the municipality. Last month, a hydrant on Reginald Crescent, not far from Markham-Stouffville Hospital, was stolen from twice within the span of a week, and the theft would have gone unnoticed had it not been reported by a vigilant citizen. Residents aren’t pleased given that municipal water isn’t getting cheaper. The average Markham household, for example, spent about $806 on water last year. The current water/wastewater rate is $3.8555 per cubic metre, and residents there have been soaked for increases of more than seven per cent each year since 2012. Water theft isn’t strictly a Markham problem, either. A Queensville company was convicted and fined $1,000 for taking water illegally from a hydrant in King Township In 2016, and a Stouffville firm was fined $500 after pleading guilty to taking water from a King hydrant in 2015. Fines range from $100 to $50,000. Those thefts pale in comparison to what’s occurred in Durham Region, however, where 672,170 cubic metres of water was illegally pumped from municipal hydrants in 2016, according to a CBC report. That represents enough water to fill approximately 270 Olympic-sized pools and equates to $60,000 in lost fees. Aside from the cost of illegal water taking, which results in higher rates, such thefts can pose a safety hazard given the potential for hydrant failure in a fire emergency due to damage from illegal hook-ups, and there also exists a heightened risk of drinking water contamination. Unfortunately, the response from municipalities has been pretty wishy-washy. The fines imposed have been small and Markham’s response to recent thefts has been to install locking mechanisms in a limited number of high-risk areas only out of concern they could slow down fire response. That may be, but water theft is a serious problem and it should not be solely up to residents to report it. Municipalities must be proactive in preventing thefts, work with police to monitor for illegal hook-ups, and be prepared to prosecute those caught stealing water. Hopefully, we can take a bite, or a gulp, out of this crime.

Re: Climate change: It’s here and not going away, so we must adapt, says expert, May 18. I was both surprised and delighted to see the coverage and editorial regarding the environment! Bravo you for championing a sustainable future for the next generations! In my opinion - and others, I may add - this is the greatest challenge of our age and in regard to what it asks of our citizens, it can only be compared to the world wars. We all have to do our bit to ensure that the transition happens sooner rather than later, which will mean far less damage to our planet.
positive suggestions from people as to small (or big) ways we could help in one way or another, and a look at how people in other countries are contributing to the great turnaround (and they are, in the most surprising, dynamic, and effective ways). I would be happy to discuss this further and any ways I could be of service in this regard. I truly believe it would be an ongoing and positive contribution to the ’green’ conversation, which many feel is important to speed up a successful transition. Looking forward to hearing from you.

COUNCIL

ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS amartinrobbins@yrmg.com Vaughan council will grapple with how to fill the deputy mayor’s chair at its June 5 meeting, after veteran councillor Michael Di Biase’s sudden resignation in the wake of an ethics investigation that found he sexually-harassed a city employee. The city clerk is slated to present a report to councillors outlining costs and other factors - such as the potential timing of a byelection and staff resources - for them to consider in deciding whether to fill Di Biase’s local and regional councillor seat by appointment or through a byelection. Following the June 5 meeting, at which Di Biase’s regional seat will officially be declared vacant, council has 60-days (until Aug. 4) to
Michael Di Biase appoint his replacement or pass a bylaw to hold a byelection, so voters can decide who gets to fill the seat for the remainder of this term, which ends in late 2018. If council opts to hold a byelection, it must first set a nomination deadline for some time between 30 and 60 days after passing a bylaw to hold a vote. Election day would take place 45 days after the nomination deadline. That means a byelection would likely occur in late September or early October. If council opts to appoint
someone to fill the position, they must do so by Aug. 4. And council has a couple of options when it comes to appointments. They can allow eligible residents to apply for the job and then choose the candidate they feel is best or they can appoint a sitting local councillor. If they take the latter approach, the local councillor’s seat would need to be filled either by appointment or through a byelection. That would be a cheaper option than holding a byelection for a regional seat as that is a city-wide election versus a local ward election. Di Biase, who served on council for nearly 30 years including a stint as mayor from 2002 to 2006, announced he was stepping down May 18 after the release of a damning report by Integrity Commissioner Suzanne Craig.

Organized pickpockets are believed to be behind a wallet-snatching incident at Vaughan Mills Mall last month, York Regional Police say. On April 18, an unknown woman distracted a victim at the mall while a second reached into her purse and took her wallet, Crime Stoppers said. "It is believed these two suspects are part of a professional group of thieves that have been responsible for several distraction thefts," police said. The first suspect is described as a white woman 25 to 35 years old, five-foot-eight, 170 pounds with a heavy build, wearing a brown coat, black pants and black shoes and carrying a large brown purse. The second suspect is described as a white woman 25 to 35 years, five-foot-four, 130 pounds with a medium build, wearing a dark blue jacket, white shirt, blue jeans and white shoes and carrying a black purse and pink back pack. If you have any information, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, leave an anonymous tip online at www.1800222tips.com or text message your tip to CRIMES (274637) starting with the word YORK.

Giving brings meaning to life When people unite for a good cause, rooted in the core values of generosity, empathy, responsibility and gratitude - magic happens. The annual Mayor’s Gala is indeed magical because of what it represents and who it benefits. Since 2011, $5.5 million has been raised through the gala and the Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua Annual Charity Golf Classic. Proceeds go to help more than 100 not-for-profit and community organizations that provide essential services here in Vaughan and beyond. These groups are dedicated to vital work that supports everyone from youth and seniors to people with special needs and women’s centres. With every dollar raised, we give the gift of hope to families who are in
MAURIZIO BEVILACQUA Mayor’s Column need of health care, to seniors who rely on programs and services to stay active, and to youth who deserve the opportunity to play sports. With every toy that is donated, we bring joy to children who get to unwrap a present on Christmas, and comfort for parents who may require a little help to get through the holidays. We work to provide assistance to individuals who need a safe place to stay and
support to get through the day. All of this is possible because of the spirit of generosity that defines our city. Vaughan is blessed to have citizens who understand the importance of giving back. As mayor, my most important priority is to move this city forward without leaving anyone behind. I strongly believe in the importance of giving back. This is what truly gives purpose to our lives as human beings and citizens of this world - that seemingly simple acts of kindness have the profound power to change someone’s life. I am grateful to the countless groups and individuals who play a vital role in making our city the kind, caring and compassionate place it is. Thanks to them, we can continue to make a meaningful difference to thousands of lives.
