How do we reduce number of drownings? LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com Wearing a T-shirt and shorts over her swimsuit, five-year-old Chloe Reda is learning how to save herself if she ever falls into water while clothed. Chloe knows to act like a "rocket ship" by extending her arms and kicking her legs to get to the surface, roll on her back to get her breath and swim to safety. Chloe, who took the survival class as part of her regular swimming lessons at the Making Waves Swim School in Vaughan, is a veteran of aquatic courses. She was just a toddler when she took lessons at the Pavilion Fitness Club in Vaughan, where a four-year-old girl tragically drowned July 30, 2013, while attending a camp. Her mom, Debbie Reda, who transferred Chloe to another facility following the drowning, l See CALLS, page 4

LIFE

Youth gravitate to individual volunteer efforts SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com Practically his whole life, Mike Barker was expected to become a Lion. "It was inherited, in the family, this is what you did," said Barker, past-president of the Newmarket Lions Club. Barker’s father was president of the club twice. At age 28, Barker joined too. But, since then, Barker has observed what he considers to be a troubling trend. "We are attracting retirees, not youth," Barker said. "That’s an increasing challenge in service organizations. We don’t have a huge percentage of younger members," he said, pointing out that his club has two members in their 40s while the rest are in their 50s or older out of a club of about 35 people. So, why this thinning of youth among the service clubs’ ranks? "In my personal opinion, there are lots of demands on young people," Barker said. "Service work is not put high on their priority list. They would rather spend time with their family, walk at Fairy Lake versus spending time with a service club. People are working more, commuting to and from jobs . they don’t have time." Barker believes the service clubs’ woes really date back to the ’80s and ’90s when the clubs did not do a good enough job of promoting themselves, of making it clear to the public what service clubs do. "We were not in the forefront of people’s thoughts and minds," Barker said. Peter Szoke too has seen a decrease in the number of youth in The Richmond Hill Rotary Club. "In North America, a lot of the service clubs have older memberships than a few decades ago,"

(Above) Newmarket Lions Club past-president Mike Barker stands in front of the Newmarket Community Centre and Lions Hall at Riverwalk Commons; (Below) Mednick, 9 (left), started The Swim For Bubbie charity event with dad Avi, mom Jessica Leinwand and sister Amy, who volunteered and helped organize. It has raised more than $7,000 for the Creative Arts Program at Baycrest. said Szoke, director of public relations and marketing and co-chair for the Rotary club’s Richmond Hill craft beer festival 2017. But Barker and Szoke have also noticed young people making important contributions elsewhere. Take Thornhill resident Rachel Mednick for example. Rachel, 9, organized a charity swim event, Swim For Bubbie, June 25 at the North Thornhill Community Centre. Her grandmother Fern Mednick, 67, suffers from a rare form of Parkinson’s (PSP - Progressive supranuclear palsy) and has always loved making art. Mednick lives at Baycrest’s

Steve Somerville/Metroland

Apotex Centre, a long-term care facility. Baycrest is a research and education hospital on Bathurst Street in Toronto. The highlight of Fern Mednick’s days is the creative arts program where she has created bowls and vases, tie-dyed scarfs, and beaded bracelets. The fundraiser was meant to add to the creative arts programs budget and help pay for supplies for a weekend program. Rachel has also participated in the art program including the family creative arts pilot program on Sunday mornings with her younger sister, Amy, 5, and her

cousins. In addition to art, Rachel’s grandmother also loves swimming, so Rachel decided to organize Swim For Bubbie to raise money for Baycrest’s Creative Arts Program. Rachel, a competitive swimmer, swims with Markham Aquatic Club. Thanks to Rachel’s efforts and that of her family, she raised more than $9,000 for the creative arts Program at Baycrest. Of course, Rachel is not alone in her charitable efforts. Ben Adams, a 32-year-old Thornhill resident, embarked on his own mission this summer - a

mission that would have seemed impossible four short years ago. Back then, Adams was 400 pounds and far from tackling a 200-km bike-riding fundraiser. His journey to better health started when he got more and more involved in playing hockey. He was a goalie and wanted to stop more pucks. He thought he could achieve this if he lost weight. Today, Adams is 275 pounds. On June 10 and 11, he rode his bicycle between Toronto and Niagara Falls in the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer, raising $2,400 for personalized cancer medicine at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. The bicycle ride held special meaning for him because both his aunt and his partner fought cancer. But while swim and bicycle fundraisers are obviously worthy endeavors, Barker believes the younger generation are losing out by not being part of a Lions or rotary club. "I don’t think you can get the warm, fuzzy feeling you get anywhere else than at a service club," he said. You can find yourself helping the Salvation Army one day, then find yourself helping a family in need at Christmas time. "It’s not isolated to one avenue... With Rotary or Lions, there’s a little of everything.You get to do a bit of all of it without focusing on being in one area," Barker said. But service clubs are making strides to attract young people. The Richmond Hill Rotary Club, for example, has a program called interactors which are programs for school- aged youth. There are three such programs running in the Richmond Hill area. The club also runs a Rotaractor program which targets people in university and college. The interactors and Rotaractors programs is the group’s attempt to instill that desire to get involved in service clubs at a younger age, Szoke said.

Safety organizations call for life-jackets, swim lessons l Continued from page 1

said it’s crucial her daughter learn swimming as a life skill. Never more so than this summer when there have been several drownings close to home, including a 20-year-old babysitter pulled from a backyard pool in Newmarket June 17; a 19-year-old Toronto man who drowned Canada Day at Sibbald Point Provincial Park and became the third

drowning victim at the Georgina park since 2010; 15year-old Toronto student Jeremiah Perry, who died July 4 on a school trip to Algonquin Park; and two young men who died July 8 when their inflatable boat overturned at Wasaga Beach. As of July 24, there were 59 drownings in Ontario this year, compared to 53 last year in the same period, according to the Lifesaving Society. Eighty per

cent of drowning victims are men. And immigrants, who often come from countries without Canada’s abundance of water, are four times more likely to drown than Canadian-born residents, public education director Barbara Byers said. "I’m very saddened when I see these numbers, because I look at this data every day. "I’ve been doing it for almost 25 years, and almost

all drownings are preventable," said Byers, who believes learning to swim should be a basic life skill in Canada. The provincial government provides the society with $1.5 million a year to give Grade 3 students three lessons in basic water survival, with the society urging parents to follow up with swimming lessons for their children. Brian Patterson, president of the Ontario Safety

League, not only wants the government to make swimming lessons available for all students in the province, he wants the government to make it mandatory to wear a life-jacket when on a boat, as opposed to the current law which only requires one be on board for every person. Fourteen of this year’s drownings in Ontario were boating mishaps, compared to 13 last year. With 473 Canadians

Highway closures reveal road network’s flaws

The Vaughan Citizen, published every Thursday, is a division of the Metroland Media Group Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The Metroland family of newspapers is comprised of more than 100 community publications across Ontario.

For evidence of just how inadequate our roads network in the GTA can be, all one need do is bear witness to the chaos that ensues any time a major highway is closed. Take, for instance, the incident July 20 that saw a tractor trailer spill flammable liquid on a portion of Hwy. 400 shortly before 1:30 p.m. The resulting hazard shuttered the vital north-south artery in both directions between Hwy. 9 and Hwy. 88 for about 11 hours and turned ordinarily sparsely travelled country roads into parking lots for miles around. A number of motorists, trapped on the highway or ensnared by horrendous congestion on overloaded backroads, ran out of fuel and abandoned their vehicles. According to media reports, some drivers were mired in the Hwy. 400 backlog for eight hours or more. Anyone who relies on that highway as part of their daily commute could no doubt regale you with tales of the havoc that occurs during a closure - disruptions in the winter are commonplace - but it begs the question: is this the best we can do? In their communications about the closure both to the media and via their online channels, the OPP advised motorists to avoid the area and/or plan alternate routes to their destinations. How does one living in this part of the GTA, where commuting to and from work is a fact of life, avoid an area smack dab in the middle of the route to home or work? What alternate routes exist that can handle the traffic from a closed Hwy. 400 when most of the roads surrounding it through rural Vaughan, King and Bradford are woefully ill-equipped for such a massive volume of vehicles? While we can’t take fault with the desire to protect the public from a potential hazard, why isn’t more done to help those caught up in the wake of an incident get around it? This isn’t the first time the highway has been disrupted and it won’t be the last so why haven’t various levels of government over the decades moved to improve the road network so it can at least function to some degree. The long-promised missing link between Hwy. 400 and Hwy. 404 certainly would have been useful last week. Sure, upgrading the capacity on existing roads or building the much-ballyhooed 400-404 link will come with a cost, but with so much growth in the forecast for our region, the alternative is to sit back and accept that our area will grind to a halt every time a highway is incapacitated for one reason or another. What is the cost associated with the status quo? There’s no easy answer, but let’s resolve to do better.

Presto problems need to be solved I purchased a seniors Presto card to travel the Markham area as well as Toronto. I went on the 14th Avenue route bus on July 4, 2017, at 9:20 a.m. I got off from the bus at the 14th Avenue and Markham intersection. Then I took the 102D TTC bus. I tapped my presto card on the presto machine; it was not working. The driver asked me to pay the fare, so I explained my situation. He allowed me to travel on the bus. By tapping one time, normally you as the passenger are allowed to travel for up to two hours. Why is the presto machine not working? That is not my fault.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • l MORE ONLINE Read all our published letters at yorkregion.com Normally, I buy a monthly pass, which makes it very easy to travel. The next day, I went to 14 route bus again. I explained the incident from the previous day, and asked the driver to offer a transfer. He did not give me a transfer and asked me to pay the fare. Again, I explained this matter to the 102D bus driver, whose name is Bob and allowed me to travel on the same bus. Why is YRT creating this simple problem? Could I explain this situation all the time? Why you are giving a headache to seniors? The people who do not speak English, how can they travel on your buses?

Diversity should be embraced by all Re: LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, July 6. I would like to say I totally agree with everything

Raza Kara said in the letter to the editor on Thursday, July 6. All Canadians, unless they are native, are either immigrants or decedents of immigrants. I love Canada’s multicultural society. How boring our food would be without Italian, Greek, Indian, Chinese, Mediterranean and countless other types of fare. Instead of fighting against our differences, we should all embrace this wonderful time of diversity. Learn, enjoy, experience. Every culture has something of value to impart. Julie Wright Georgina

COLUMN

Can you feel it? The City of Vaughan is undergoing tremendous change and we can see the fruits of our labour in every corner of our community. Our downtown core, the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC), is taking shape. It will contribute to our dynamic economy by attracting businesses from around the globe. In addition to this, our vision for transit is becoming a reality. This is all possible because we are driven by the desire to reach our full potential. This December we will make history with the opening of the highly anticipated Toronto-York Spadina subway extension (Line 1). To mark this momentous occasion, we launched the Passport to Ride contest for the chance to win a trip on a VIP preview train that will depart from the VMC subway station. To participate, you must first get your passport at any Vaughan com-

MAURIZIO BEVILACQUA Mayor’s Column munity centre, city hall or in the Fall and Winter Recreation Vaughan guide. Then visit two of the 2017 signature events and get your passport stamped at the VMC tent. Completed passports may be submitted at any signature event or at the Vaughan City Hall information desk, located at 2141 Major Mackenzie Dr. This new subway is a major city-building initiative which will attract residents, businesses and talent to Vaughan. Once complete, ours will be the first and only 905 municipality to link

directly to the Toronto core, providing a direct connection for people living, working and visiting our city. Transportation is a significant aspect of city building and an ever important part of ensuring the City of Vaughan remains a destination of choice throughout the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. The subway extension signifies a new era for Vaughan. It will continue the transformation we are witnessing in the VMC and across our growing city. Mass rapid transit is an investment in our future, one that promises economic prosperity through advancements in business development and quality of life. The momentum is indeed building, our quality of life is outstanding and we are fostering a vibrant community that is inclusive, progressive and diverse. It really is a great time to be living in Vaughan.

CRIME

TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com Mother of six Aisha Francis wasn’t sure what she’d do when her husband Dave was sentenced to seven years in prison back in 2004. A professional woman on maternity leave at the time with children ranging in age from five months to 12, Francis was "devastated." She said she "kicked into survivor mode and I went through the motions." Dave got out of jail in 2008 but the experiences Francis went through with her husband and children inspired her to start Project Restore FIBI (Families Impacted By Incarceration), which seeks to reunite those freed from jail with the families they left behind and vice versa. The firsthand experience Francis had gave her intimate knowledge of the ups and downs of a loved one’s life behind bars and the adjustment needed once back into the family unit again. She worked hard to make sure her children wouldn’t fall into the trap her husband had. All six are either in school or have graduated. The four oldest are graduates of or in post-secondary school and the two youngest are at home in high school. "They’ve done exceptionally well," she said. And Dave, who runs a home-renovation business now, is also doing well. But Francis said her research shows 70 per cent of children who have a parent that is incarcerated will end up in the system or have other behaviour problems. "We provide tools for families to be more supportive. I’ve done a presentation on how to manage stress for wives and mothers because communities are only as strong as the families within them," Francis said. For information, visit restorefibi.com.

Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion Transit Project Assessment Process Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is working to transform the way the region moves by building a fast, convenient and integrated transit network across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) and Simcoe County. Over the next ten years, Metrolinx is transforming the existing GO rail system to deliver a whole new rapid transit experience to your community. Part of this plan is to bring frequent and reliable service to communities along the Barrie rail corridor. With more frequent train service you’ll have more options to get you where you need to go. The Project Current plans include electrified, all-day, two-way service every 15 minutes to Aurora as well as peak, midday, evening and weekend GO Train service to Allandale Waterfront GO Station. The service increase will be phased in over 10 years while Metrolinx builds additional infrastructure. To support this service increase, Metrolinx is proposing the following: • Provision of a second track between Lansdowne Avenue in the City of Toronto to Allandale Waterfront GO Station in the City of Barrie; • Upgrades to existing GO Stations along the corridor: Rutherford, Maple, King City, Aurora, Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Bradford, Barrie South and Allandale Waterfront; • Upgrades to existing structures within the corridor including bridges and culverts; and • A new train layover facility within the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury for overnight storage of trains. The Process Metrolinx is assessing the environmental impacts of the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion (BRCE) Project in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings (made under the Environmental Assessment Act). As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) is being prepared and will be filed documenting any potential environmental effects and mitigation requirements of the Project. Viewing locations for the agency and public review of the EPR will be published in the Notice of Completion. All information produced as part of this project is available at www.metrolinx.com/RERBarrie. Consultation We thank everyone for their feedback to date. As we have formally commenced the TPAP, we encourage our neighbours, agencies, Indigenous communities and other interested persons to actively participate in the TPAP by visiting www.metrolinx.com/RERBarrie and contacting staff directly with comments or questions at RERBarrie@metrolinx.com.

It takes a lot of pushing, arm-twisting and effort, but some day, some way, a subway extension up Yonge Street north to Richmond Hill Centre from Finch Station just might get built. According to Thornhill councillors Alan Shefman of Vaughan and Valerie Burke of Markham, that

day is a little bit closer today. The pair, who form lobby group York North Subway Group with longtime colleague Godwin Chan of Ward 6 (Richmond Hill), say with $55 million from the province and $36.3 million committed from the feds for design and engineering

BluTek Gel Visco

studies for the transit extension, along with a partnership from Metrolinx, the TTC, the City of Toronto and York Region, movement on the extension is real. "The Yonge Street North Extension is tied to the City of Toronto Relief line project," Shefman said.

COMMUNITY

If you’re thinking about going fishing in York Region, likely the first place that jumps to mind is Lake Simcoe, but there are several other spots across the region to test out your angling skills.

PRESENTED BY MAGNA

Lake Wilcox - The largest kettle lake on the Oak Ridges Moraine, located off Bayview Avenue south of Bloomington Road in Oak Ridges, offers fishing from the shore or in a boat for a range of species including black crappie, bluegill, largemouth bass, northern pike, smallmouth bass and yellow perch.

Milne Dam Conservation Park - This park, at 8251 McCowan Rd. just south of Highway 7, is bound by thick forest on the southern and eastern edges with the Rouge River flowing through the middle. You’ll find a variety of fish lurking in the waters including brown trout, Chinook salmon, largemouth bass, pike and rainbow trout.

Toogood Pond - This 33-hectare park, accessed from Main Street in Unionville, is a great place to take the kids or novice anglers to try and catch brown trout, carp, largemouth bass, northern pike, rainbow trout, rock bass and more.

Cold Creek Conservation Area - This 190-hectare (470-acre) park, located at 14125 11th Concession north of King Road near Nobleton, boasts brook trout, brown trout and creek chub. Gates are open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Saturday.

Vaughan’s Panetta tests waters at Deaflympics in Turkey JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com When Damiano Panetta leans over the water at the starting blocks for the McMaster Marauders varsity swim team he is always at a disadvantage. While his competitors have their heads down awaiting the starting gun he is looking for a signal of his own before plunging into the water. Specifically, the lights located across the pool to signify the start of the race. The 20-year-old Vaughan resident competes on a level playing field at the 23rd Deaflympics scheduled to be held July 18 to 30 in Samsun, Turkey where he is expected to compete in the 200 freestyle, 400 IM and relay as a member of the six-member Canadian swim team. For Panetta, it will be the second time he has competed at the Deaflympics. He participated as a 16-year-old in Bulgaria where he achieved personal bests in the pool. More important, was the opportunity to mingle with athletes facing similar challenges. "My experience in Bulgaria was incredible as I had never really been around signing deaf people before and I immediately felt a bond with them," said Panetta, who will enter his

Cosimo Panetta photo

Damiano Panetta is a member of Canada’s swim team which competes this week at the 23rd Deaflympics in Samsun, Turkey. third year at McMaster in September, in an interview conducted by text messages. "Swimming at that level of event was intimidating but an incredible learning experience. Panetta lost his hearing at eight months of age when he contracted bacterial meningitis. He wears cochlear implants but not when he competes. "At deaf swimming events I am competing against people who have the same disadvantage," he said. "As for starts, we use a light underneath the blocks as this allows us to keep our heads down at the start and

they use hand signals which indicate when we have to get on the blocks. There are interpreters and lots of visual notifications." Panetta learned about the Deaflympics when he was 15 and through one of his high school hearing teachers. He jumped at the opportunity. At a school meet, Panetta cannot hear the cheering and encouragement from teammates or any of the sounds affiliated with a swim meet. He does not hear instructions, announcements or the blaring music on the deck. Panetta communicates with coaches through reading lips and facial expressions. Sometimes thoughts are exchanged in writing. In truth, competing against other deaf athletes is more than about a level playing field. "The deaf culture surprised me the most last Deaflympics," said Panetta. "I didn’t know that I could feel an instant connection with people that I didn’t even know (just) because we have a common disability. "It’s very cool to be able to represent my country at this level of event. This time I have much more swimming experience at higher levels and more mentally prepared and confident."
