Police make arrest in apparent case of serial spewing SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com York Regional Police have laid charges in an apparent case of serial spewing in Markham. A man in his early 40s was charged with three counts of mischief to property. He was arrested in
Markham Friday at 5:15 p.m. A manager at Frankie Tomatto’s, an Italian allyou-can-eat restaurant on Woodbine Avenue in Markham, had phoned police, most recently Friday morning. The restaurant had reported to police that over the past year, em-
ployees’ cars were covered with an oily liquid at lunch time between noon and 2 p.m. in the back parking lot. A customer had also complained of similar treatment to his car. In fact, police were told of 30 incidents of this happening in the same park-
ing lot behind the restaurant over the past four years. It appears that the man had been eating and drinking at the restaurant then purposely vomiting on vehicles, said Sgt. Scott Hunter of York Regional Police. "The moral of the story
is make sure you have a good surveillance system," Sgt. Hunter said Saturday. So many times, we are called to reported thefts or mischief to property and there is no video surveillance or the video is not working or is low grade, he said. When the

“We have done countless quote searches and they always come up quickly and accurately.”
incidents got to be too much, the restaurant upgraded its video system and the police "solved it just like that," Sgt. Hunter said. Police have not released the man’s name but say he is from Oshawa and is employed in the area of the restaurant.

ABOUT US
No time for red tape on housing Earlier this year, Statistics Canada released data from the 2016 census that indicated a long predicted, but nonetheless startling change had occurred in our country’s demographics. "From 2011 to 2016, Canada registered the largest increase in the proportion of seniors since Confederation. This acceleration of population aging is the result of the first baby boomers reaching the age of 65," StatsCan reported. "For the first time, the share of seniors (16.9 per cent) - the share they represent of the total Canadian population - exceeded the share of children (16.6 per cent). The increase in the proportion of seniors from 2011 to 2016 was the largest observed since 1871 - a clear sign that Canada’s population is aging at a faster pace." In our news feature Senior Tsunami, Metroland Media looked at this change and its implications on housing for the average senior. We defined average as the range from having no additional income from a company pension or RRSPs (surviving solely on CPP and OAS benefits), to having a retirement pension or savings. In short, we focused on housing solutions for the middle-class senior; the one who can’t afford the average monthly cost of $3,526 for an Ontario retirement home (in the GTA, it is more than $4,700), but does not qualify for government-assisted housing. We also used a projection by the province’s ministry of finance that shows the senior population in much of central Ontario will more than double in the next 25 years. The results were frightening. Although we have watched the baby boomers ascend the population triangle year after year, we are ill-prepared to provide housing alternatives to match their income level. Several in-depth reports by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation have forewarned of the impending crisis, but little in the form of solutions have taken shape. The province has been silent. In fact, we believe we are in a too-little, too-late situation for the Ontario government to show leadership on the issue of senior housing. We no longer have the luxury of time to meander the red tape of government. What we need are community-based, grassroots solutions. Ontario could offer surplus land or closed schools for senior housing developments. Municipalities, regional councils and provincial programs must collaborate to eliminate barriers, such as zoning and building bylaws, to pave the way for these alternatives. We need to work together to resolve this crisis. With 45,000 seniors across the country relying on food banks each month, we need to start today.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Why were Culture Days scheduled on holy days? I received an interesting email from the Ward 4 Coun. Sandra Yeung Racco with regards to the Culture Days that were held on Friday, Sept. 29, 30, and Oct. 1. You would think that this event is supposed to encourage participation and inclusion of all cultures. Well, it does not! Once again, total ignorance is displayed by Ms Racco, with regards to having such an event take place on the holiest day on the Jewish calendar! Perhaps it should be renamed Culture Daze! If council, who represents the entire community, would stop and look at a calendar once in a while they would be able to set
such events that would be conducive to all residents. I am sure that they would not have such an event on such holidays as Ramadan or Christmas. No, not a chance. But to have it on the most sacred Jewish Holiday is fine? This is not the first time that I as a Jewish, Canadian, Vaughan tax-paying citizen feel slighted by our council, but this one is a beauty. I can’t wait to hear a response from these longin-the-tooth council members. Please spare me with lame excuses. Omitting the opportunity by two-thirds of an event not only displays the lack of "cultural understanding" but the blatant disregard or respect that everyone deserves from our elected officials. I hope that the Jewish

Las Vegas shooting shocking, devastating I am extremely shocked and devastated to hear about the mass shootings that took place in Las Vegas allegedly by a 64-year old man, Stephen Paddock. The shootings killed over 50 people and left more than 500 injured. It is extremely upsetting to imagine that in the 21st century we have such extremists roaming the streets of a developed western country so freely.
Irrespective of whether this is terrorism or not (which it clearly is), I think the more pertinent issue here is about the gun laws that exist in the United States. In 2017, there were over 270 mass shootings, and over 11,000 deaths in the United States as a direct result of gun violence. This has led to the continuous grief and worry of many families. I am thankful as a Canadian living in our safe country to not have to worry about such things, but use this as an opportunity to call for the reconsideration of the gun laws in the United States. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences are with the injured and the families left bereaved. Jari Qudrat, Vaughan

Another leader of alleged Mafia betting site Platinum Sports Book sentenced JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com It was the night of the 2013 Superbowl when more than 2,000 gathered at Markham’s Le Parc Banquet Hall to party and gamble, allegedly illegally. The problem for the attendees was that hundreds of cops from six police forces, including York Regional Police, joined as part of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit to bust the illegal online gambling website Platinum Sports Book’s party in a spectacular fashion. Found that day were a trove of goods, according to police, including $1.6 million in cash, handguns, ledgers, bank statements and documents that police say belonged to criminal organizations. Some of the raffle prizes included Rolex watches, Jet-skis and Sea-doos, po-
lice said, noting the goods seized at the party were worth about $2.6 million. A financial audit of the seized betting records said between 2009 and 2013 PlatinumSB grossed more than $103 million. It allegedly used toll-free phones lines and website based in Costa Rica. Following the raid, 18 people were charged, a number of them from York Region. Among them was Bill Miller, a former member of Hells Angels. Last week, Miller was sentenced to 15 months behind bars. He is not the first man, who Justice Michael Brown said was in a "leadership role", to be punished as a result of PlatinumSB, according to The Toronto Sun. Gordon Baird, the "technical guru" behind the website police said was linked to the Mafia and
Hells Angels, was given house arrest for 18-months and also paid a $400,000 fine in September 2016. Also sentenced was William Yu, from Thornhill, who was given a suspended sentence, a fine of $50,000 and 12 months probation. Two alleged Hells Angels’ associates of Baird, Andrew Bielli and Rob Barletta, also faced charges, but had different outcomes. Bielli was sentenced to 15 months in jail for committing an offence for a criminal organization while Barletta had his charges withdrawn. George Pandemenos, from Richmond Hill, Abraham Diles, from Stouffville, Vincenzo Russo, from Aurora, all had their book making and gambling charges withdrawn. Bing Gao, from Markham, also had his charges withdrawn.

Mayor’s golf tournament tees up for charity Golfers of every ability gathered on the green at Eagle’s Nest Golf Club recently to participate in the Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua Annual Charity Golf Classic. With a drive to inspire positive change, participants hit the fairways in support of more than 150 charities and not-for-profit organizations. The Maurizio Bevilacqua Charity Golf Classic together with the Mayor’s Gala - has raised more than $6.4 million since 2011. Funds have gone directly to groups that provide essential services in the City of Vaughan and beyond, including youth, seniors, special needs and education organizations, women’s centres, arts and cultural initiatives, and
sports groups. Support from the Spirit of Generosity has been directed to many initiatives and programs including providing iPads for children with autism, the expansion of hospice programs, assisting victims of abuse and a new home for adults with special needs, to name a few. "I am extremely grateful to the groups and individuals who play a vital role in making our city a kind, caring and compassionate place," Bevilacqua said. "This golf tournament, along with our Gala, is a demonstration of the spirit of generosity that defines Vaughan - which is people coming together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. I also want to extend my appreciation to Alectra presi-
dent and CEO Brian Bentz for once again chairing the tournament. He remains dedicated to making this event an outstanding success each year. We believe in the noble mission to make a positive impact in the community. Our commitment to move this city forward without leaving anyone behind continues to inspire hope and optimism. Together, we have the power to change lives." The tournament was a single shotgun format. Oncourse activities included hole-in-one, closest-to-thepin and longest-drive competitions. There was also an exciting helicopter ball drop on the 18th hole where numbered golf balls were dropped from a helicopter onto the green and the closest to the pin won.

12 SENIORS
TSUNAMI
A
n unstoppable flood is headed our way. Ontario’s senior population is rising as baby boomers turn 65. Within 25 years, the number of seniors is projected to double to 4.6 million. At that time, one in every four people in this province will be a senior. While this massive wave of seniors has long been predicted, we are still ill prepared to provide housing to meet their needs. Muskoka resident Shelley Raymond encountered this problem 10 years ago while exploring options for her parents. "I found pretty much nothing outside of a retirement home, or long-term care, which are all booked to the nines. And hugely expensive," she said. The average monthly cost in an Ontario retirement home is $3,526, but you can pay more than $6,000 depending on where you live, states a 2017 seniors’ housing report by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. As your health declines, you’ll fork over more money for added care. "Retirement homes, in most cases, are profit-based and when you run out of money they will kick you out," Raymond said. "It’s already happening over and over again." Raymond was determined to find an alternative. Due to declining health, her mom moved into long-term care. Her dad couldn’t afford to stay in the family home, but refused to give up his independence. And Raymond worried he would outlive his money in a retirement home. Because Raymond’s grandfather died at an early age, his son chose living life to the fullest over saving for retirement. The responsibility to find an answer for her dad fell at Raymond’s feet because her two siblings lived far away. Raymond was crying about her plight to a friend in a Muskoka restaurant when a solution was born. The pair was talking about shared home ownership. The idea came to Raymond after she looked worldwide for an option that could give her dad independence, affordability, and social interaction. "A man sitting in the restaurant overheard me and he walked over and said ‘You can use my house because I have the same problem,’" Raymond said. Solterra Co-housing Ltd.
RETIREMENT INCOME CALCULATOR The Government of Canada has created a retirement income calculator to help you determine how Old Age Security pension and Canada Pension Plan will contribute to your future financial security. You can find the calculator online at tinyurl.com/ seniorstsunami.

Muskoka resident Shelley Raymond fought to create this shared ownership home in Bracebridge for her dad and other seniors. She owns a company called Solterra Co-housing and plans to open more shared ownership homes to meet the needs of a growing number of seniors.
Seniors housing crisis looms Municipalities and community residents shouldn’t wait for the province to take a lead. Solutions will be found in grassroots initiatives: urban planner SARA CARSON scarson@simcoe.com was born. Raymond has a background in real estate, her husband is a talented carpenter, and her dad was a top planner in Canada. They renovated the Bracebridge home and four seniors moved in, splitting ownership between them. But it wasn’t over. The plan sparked an uphill battle with the municipality, planners, lawyers and retirement homes. "I was pretty sure when I
Metroland Reports
announced what we were doing I could do it legally, all I had to do was convince others. That was problematic," Raymond said. She won the legal challenges at a huge cost, but her goal was never just one house. "I knew we could do it across Canada. If I was having those problems 10 years ago, I knew the numbers would increase substantially as we moved
forward," Raymond said. Demand for shared home ownership is picking up substantially. Raymond helped create co-housing projects in Brechin, Port Perry, and Guelph. Solterra Co-housing Ltd. just put an offer on a house in Barrie. Shared home ownership is one solution. We need a variety of housing options and models to ensure baby boomers can
fund their own retirement. This will require innovation, planning, and bylaw and zoning changes. In this series, Metroland examines four options: cohousing with a stranger, cohousing with family, retiring up north in Elliot Lake and renovating your home to add accessible features with help from government grants. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) released a policy discussion paper in 2016 to recognize that the municipal sector is at the forefront of developing age-friendly communities, including affordable housing. Michael Jacek, a senior policy adviser, said AMO hasn’t come up with specific recommendations like shared home ownership, or co-housing. And they haven’t discussed bylaw and policy changes that may be required. "We’ve been operating more at a high-level to encourage people to do the age-friendly community planning. Creative solutions like that may be the result of some of these community plans," Jacek said. Urban planner John Lewis, an associate professor with the University of Waterloo’s school of planning, said there are municipalities, developers, and community groups facing the wave head on. He helped develop the province’s age-friendly planning guide. Lewis said top developers are leading the way with innovative housing solutions. "Once they have proven the market potential for that kind of housing stock, then generally the rest of the developers will follow suit," he said. Lewis said municipalities and community residents shouldn’t wait for the province to take a lead. Solutions will be found in grassroots initiatives, like Solterra Co-housing Ltd. "The feet on the ground literally consists of people who are residents of the communities driving these initiatives forward," Lewis said. l See page 20 for four housing solutions

Six taken to hospital after multi-vehicle crash in Vaughan BRYANN AGUILAR At least six people were taken to hospital following a multi-vehicle crash in Vaughan on Tuesday night. York Regional police Duty Insp. Kelvin Chantiam said police rushed to the area of Hwy. 7 and Pine Valley Dr. just after 9 p.m. for reports of four vehicles involved in a collision. One of the cars was
found flipped over at the scene. Police said one man became trapped inside the rolled over car but was freed at the scene. He was taken to a trauma centre. Chantiam said at least six other people were in the vehicles including a child that was unharmed. Several of the passengers were taken to a local hospital with serious, but non-life-
threatening injuries. "We’ve engaged our Major Collision Investigation unit to come to the scene because it is a pretty big scene," said Chantiam. Highway 7 from Pine Valley Dr. to Helen Street remained closed for several hours due to the police investigation, but has since reopened. Torstar News Service

SOME THOUGHTS ON YOUR EXECUTOR One of the most important estate planning decisions you can make is the choosing of the executor who will look after your estate, when you pass away. Essentially, your executor is the person appointed to make sure that your will is properly carried out. For instance, among other things, your executor is responsible for arranging the burial, making any claims on behalf of the estate, paying legitimate debts and taxes of your estate and satisfying the gifts made in your will. You should choose one or more persons well suited to the duties required. In making this choice, you should consider whether it is advantageous to select one executor, or several co-executors, as the case may be.
The Wills Lawyer
LAURA FINNEY lfinney@yrmg.com
Michelle Kotzer
The following are some points you should consider when contemplating the choice of your executor:
• If you are leaving the entire estate outright to your spouse, you may consider appointing your spouse as the sole executor, if you feel your spouse is capable of administering your estate. • One common misconception pertains to the number of executors you are obliged to appoint. If you wish, you do have the right to appoint just one person as your executor. • You should consider whether the person you are appointing as executor has the time to take on the task. An executor may be trustworthy, but he or she may be unwilling to accept the appointment. Executors have the right to decline the appointment at the outset when they find out they have been named. • If you are considering appointing an executor who lives in a foreign jurisdiction, you should discuss this with the lawyer preparing your will. Make sure you tell your lawyer that your executor lives in a foreign jurisdiction, so that she can address concerns regarding the requirement for your executor to post a bond. For example, the law of Ontario provides that there is no necessity for an executor to post a bond, if that executor lives in a jurisdiction within the British Commonwealth. • Your executor will have to make some management and business decisions. He or she will also have to deal with your grieving family. You should be aware that even though your executor may not have detailed business and management knowledge, he or she can hire professionals such as lawyers and accountants to deal with any complicated issues. • If you do not think that your children will get along with each other after your death, you may decide not to appoint any of your children as executors. Instead, you might wish to choose a neutral person or financial institution. • It is always a good idea to appoint one or more back up executors, in case your first executor has predeceased you, or if he or she is unwilling or unable to act. • If you are appointing three or more co-executors, such as three of your adult children, you may consider inserting a majority clause in your will to allow two of the three to make a binding decision. I am a wills lawyer with the law firm of Fish and Associates, 7951 Yonge Street, Thornhill (Yonge and Royal Orchard). We are located in a turn of the century home with plenty of free parking. The atmosphere is relaxed and we speak in plain language.

Metroland Media explored four housing options for seniors: co-housing with a stranger, co-housing with family, retiring in Elliot Lake and renovating to add accessible features with help from government grants. 1. GO NORTH When Barrie’s Annamarie Sugar and her husband, Don Ough, began searching for a place to enjoy retirement, they wanted a small, quiet community with affordable housing costs. The hunt took them to Elliot Lake between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie "Barrie was a nice small town when we moved there," Sugar said. "Now, it’s just too big, too noisy, too many people." Sugar and her husband aren’t alone in choosing the community, thanks to a marketing campaign aimed at attracting retirees. Read more at tinyurl.com/seniorstsunaminorth. 2. FULL HOUSE For 25 years, as he and his wife, Donna, were raising their three children, Matthew Penstone’s widowed mother-in-law, Alice, lived with the family. And then Penstone’s father, George, also moved into the family’s Aurora home.
WHAT’S YOUR PLAN? Will you age in place, or downsize? Top questions to consider. Read more at tinyurl.com/ seniorstsunamiplan. Six years ago, Penstone’s daughter, Corrine, asked if she and her partner, Steven Gagnon, could move in to save money for a home. They also revealed they were expecting twins. The boys grew up in their grandparents’ house before the family moved to their own home. While there are challenges to having a multigenerational household, Penstone said the benefits have far outweighed the adjustments for his family. Read more at tinyurl.com/seniorstsunamimultigenhome. 3. OPEN YOUR DOORS Halton is taking an innovative approach to helping their aging population stay in their homes while also avoiding the social isolation that can come with growing old. Halton Region, in partnership with Halton Housing Help and the Burlington Age-Friendly Council, offers the Halton HomeShare program matches people who have a place to live, mostly seniors, with those
looking for housing. Discussions around housing and how it relates to seniors tended to focus on how a number of their aging residents wished to stay in their homes but were finding it difficult to maintain them without help. Read more at tinyurl.com/seniorstsunamihomeshare. 4. FUTURE RENOVATIONS Sandra and Dan Sexton are doing the kind of work on their North York home that usually comes much later in life. In their 40s, the couple is working with Ronny Wiskin, a specialist in home renovation for accessibility, through the Toronto-based Med+ Home Healthcare company. The company assists homeowners to modify environments using universal design principles - a seven-point checklist that balances esthetics and comfort with accessibility for people who might be confined to a wheelchair, or have other mobility issues. "It’s the design of products and environments that are usable by people of all abilities," Wiskin said. Read more at tinyurl.com/seniorstsunamiaccessible.

Dancer shines in new Cirque du Soleil show LAURA FINNEY lfinney@yrmg.com
Newmarket native Joey Arrigo is making a lasting impression with Cirque du Soleil. The 25-year-old is not only the leading character Waz in their newest show Volta, but he helped develop it as well. "It was really interesting to be a part of the creation of this show, rather than just stepping into a role," he said. "It was a really great opportunity to work with the brilliant minds that create the Cirque du Soleil shows." Volta tells a story about the freedom to choose one’s own path. Waz is a celebrity who hosts a game show where middle class people, or Greys, compete to be-
come part of the Elites. But he has a secret. "He grew up with blue feathers as hair," explained Arrigo, adding the character was ridiculed about it, so he covered it with a crown. "What Waz realizes is he is classifying everybody on their differences when all he really wants is to be accepted." Waz later meets the Free Spirits. "They know all about self-acceptance and self-love," said Arrigo. He said the character does have parallels with his own life, but the show also has a message that can resonate with anybody. "When I started exploring the role of Waz, I had to dig deep into myself and consider certain things about myself," said Arrigo, adding that it all tied into the Volta’s message.
"We all have things about ourselves that we were maybe once insecure about," he said. "But those are the things that make us different, those are the things that make us original, and those are the things that make us unique." This is the second Cirque du Soleil show Arrigo has been part of. He played a trickster in Kooza. He said he wanted to be part of the company since he was young. He used to watch one of their first shows, Nouvelle Experience. "There was something about it, something so magical," he said. One of the characters was a clown played by David Shiner. Years later, when Arrigo was in Kooza, he met Shiner, who was the creator of the show.
"It was a full circle," he said. "The guy who I watched in my living room, inspired me to be in the company, now I’m leading in his show." A few weeks ago, Arrigo’s career came full circle. He taught a class at York Dance Academy where he used to dance. "It was so nice to have a former student come back after all these years and to have him
share his passion and talent with our dancers," said Angela Tucker, artistic director and owner of the academy. "I still remember the young four-yearold who had so much energy and passion for dance. He’s now turned into an adult with the same energy and passion." Volta will be showing in Toronto until Nov. 26. For tickets, visit cirquedusoleil.com/volta.
