Jacob Gal from Soup-Pa will be giving away free rainbow ice cream during the Pride parade on Main Street in Newmarket.
Pride parade moves north KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com A disagreement between York Pride Fest and the Town of Richmond Hill has led to not just one, but two Pride events in York Region this summer. For four years, the region’s Pride parade has taken place on Yonge Street in the heart of Richmond Hill, but this year parade organizers, feeling snubbed by the local business community, have packed up their rainbow flags and headed north to Newmarket.
Pride Fest spokesperson Jacob Gal hopes the town’s Main Street will be the perfect venue for a family-friendly parade and afterparty at Riverwalk Commons on June 17. Meantime, another organization, PFLAG York, is working with the Town of Richmond Hill to create a separate Pride event June 3 in a new location in Richmond Hill, adjoining the Elgin Barrow arena "This is a new initiative for us," said Amanda Knegje, president of PFLAG, the region’s LGBTQ support, resource and ed-
ucation network. "We’ve always been very supportive of Pride Fest . It’s great seeing growth, and multiple events, especially when it involves both north and south York Region." Earlier this year, Richmond Hill had informed Pride Fest that the parade could not take place in its usual spot on Yonge due to traffic issues, costs to the town, impact on local business and poor attendance. Instead, the town offered an alternate route: a side street in the village core and nearby park.
Since 2013, the Town of Richmond Hill provided support to the parade and was the first in York Region to proclaim Pride Week. "Richmond Hill is a very, very inclusive community and we did our best to work with [Pride Fest] . We absolutely support Pride," said town spokesperson Meeta Gandhi. But Gal said local support for the event had declined in recent years and it was time to move on. Gal said he’d tried to encourage local business involvement,

BUSINESS
Craft beer revolution heats up with Market Brewing SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com When Shane McCarthy told his friend and now business partner Josh Domingues that he wanted to open a brewery, Domingues asked a pertinent question: "What do you know about brewing?" The answer was not much. So they put their heads together for more than a year planning and came up with the concept for Market Brewing Company, to be located in Newmarket. "I left the corporate world to chase something else," McCarthy said. The two friends who grew up playing hockey at a high level, McCarthy for the Aurora Tigers and Domingues for Owen Sound Attack in the Ontario Hockey League, both missed the community vibe of being in a locker-room
every day. "We want to create that community hub here," McCarthy said in Market Brewing’s new state-ofthe-art taproom located on Leslie Street next to the Hyundai Dealership. Set to open later this spring, the taproom has long-tables that evoke the feeling of being in a German beer garden. The taproom will have 12 taps that will rotate through different beers including Market Brewing’s three core beers; the Beswick Lager, Bear Hug IPA and Flee to Pennsylvania Wit. To find someone who could brew delicious beer, McCarthy looked to British Columbia where he hired Ethan Allured, the former head brewer of Coal Harbour Brewing. The two hooked-up through an online form and things progressed to a point
where he moved to Ontario. His beer has been a big hit so far. "People tell me we need something like this in Ontario," McCarthy said. Aside from the three core beers, Market Brewing will have different seasonal creations that Allured is looking forward to doing. At the bar in the taproom McCarthy brought up the menu on a TV screen. It included a Leslie Street Pale Ale and High Treason Belgian Ale that Allured had brewed. McCarthy, a Holland Landing resident, said they wanted their beer names to have a connection to the community. The Beswick Lager is in tribute to Newmarket’s first doctor Christopher Beswick. Flee to Pennsylvania pays homage to a story of a settlers coming from the Keystone State. l See YOU, page 4

asking them to post a parade flyer in their window, "but I felt like I was annoying them. I only ever saw it in one window - Pharmasave". The pharmacy, two other businesses and the Falcon and Firkin were their only supporters in the Richmond Hill village, he said. On the other hand, he said, Newmarket businesses have responded with enthusiasm. "I don’t want to be tarring everyone with the same brush but there are very different ethnic demographics between the two downtowns . Before we even started planning the festival in Newmarket we were getting more support there. The visual atmosphere will be very different, much more rainbows, engagement from businesses." Glenn Wilson, BIA chairperson and owner of Canada T, welcomes the event and anticipates a decorated village with rainbow flags in flowerpots. "After all," he said, "it’s a whole new day and age." Tom Zielinski, owner of Bike Sports located at the north end of the Main Street parade route, agrees. When Zielinski left a communist regime to emigrate to Canada, he said he embraced the diversity and freedom here. "We have to move forward. These millennials, they are smart cookies. We give them so little credit but they have so much common sense. They are walking with the world in their pocket." Gal said the Newmarket Farmers Market has partnered with the event and there are plans for giveaways, draws, storytelling in the story pod featuring work by LGBT+ authors and performances on the Riverwalk Commons stage. The artisans festival run by the Lions Club is set for the same weekend at nearby Fairy Lake. "When you have multiple things to go to, it means you can park your car, take a shuttle with your family for breakfast or food at the Farmers Market, watch the parade then walk the trails at Fairy Lake or check out the jewelry and art and make a whole day out of it." Stephanie Ramsden, owner of Sweets Instore British import, hopes to hang a rainbow-coloured Union Jack. "Everyone’s welcome here," she said. "As long as it’s not smutty - and it’s not supposed to be like that - then it’s a great thing, bringing everybody together. Newmarket is a really supportive community for everyone." To distinguish itself from the Toronto Pride parade that has become notorious for its provocative participants, the York Region event does not allow nudity and follows a code of ethics to ensure it is appropriate for families, Gal said. But some businesses in Richmond Hill weren’t so sure. Mehrdad Sabouhi, BIA chair in Richmond Hill, said local businesses want events in their village but some don’t view the parade as family oriented.

The taproom is hidden from Leslie Street at the back of the building. McCarthy said it is good for large groups to come to after hockey to enjoy a few pints and watch the game or listen to good live music, McCarthy said. The room has 150 seats and can hold more than 200 people. They also plan to have a south facing 1,000-square-foot patio, but renovations to the facility on 17775 Leslie St. are still happening. McCarthy says they hope to open the taproom in late April early May, but that date depends on a lot of different factors. In the meantime, you can try the beer at Hungry Brew Hops, Ground Burger Bar and the Olde Village Free House in Newmarket. McCarthy said they are also set to be in grocery stores sometime in April and the LCBO later this year. For more information visit marketbrewingco.com or follow on Instagram @marketbrewing.

RECREATION
Boomers force municipalities to alter their game JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com You’ve probably heard how 50 is the new 30. Well, it might well be that the new 50, or even 55, is now somewhere near 70 years of age. Long gone is an expectation that adults must slow down and curtail activities when 55 candles need be extinguished on a birthday cake. Just because that was the case a couple generations ago doesn’t make it so now. The rules of play are changing as baby boomers age. Folks may be getting older, but they still like their fun and games, and want to be active more than any previous generation. This a significant powerwielding group that often gets what it demands. In short, the generation that created old-timers and masters sports is getting older. And the over-55s are an extremely large and growing group. It is not only fitting, but obligatory, that municipalities listen and react to those demands. "We are very aware of a growing senior and older adult population," says Mary Creighton, director of recreational services for the past seven years for the City of Markham. "One thing we knew we had to do was have an older athlete policy and we’re doing that right now. It’s how we need to move forward and how to deal with an aging population." Recreation directors in municipalities across the region meet quarterly to exchange ideas regarding trends in activities and needs. It should be no surprise that older adults’ needs are high on the list of priorities. Creighton points to an integrated leisure services master plan unveiled in 2010, which included sensitivity and sensibility toward a rapidly aging population. That strategy works in sync with the Region of York’s strategies for seniors’ needs and issues, in-

Markham’s five senior adults clubs have approximately 4,800 members. And many more figure to be on the way. "We know we have to get ready for growth in that age group and one strategy is becoming an age-friendly community," said Creighton. Markham’s facilities are fully accessible. Programming includes an extreme
range of activities from cards and crafts to more physically demanding sports such as volleyball, she said. Sometimes it is as simple as redesigning playing surfaces with lines corresponding to the introduction of new activities. For instance, the Aariin Community Centre and Library, due to open in Markham this fall, will include lines for pickleball on its
court surfaces, in addition to traditional court sport lines. In Newmarket and Georgina, at least one set of two tennis courts in each municipality have been reconfigured into pickleball courts. The racquet sport combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis, but is played on a smaller surface and a lower net. "Pickleball is a growing
sport and one of the fastest growing in North America," said Newmarket director of recreation and culture, Colin Service, noting the conversion in 2016 of two tennis courts into six pickleball courts. "We had a demand to provide a facility and this facility was the right size for six pickleball courts. "It was the perfect storm of several factors coming together. There is nothing
on the books right now, but we are always ready to adapt (to demand)." Service points out the municipality is not simply acting impulsively, but based on needs gathered through interaction with citizens. It doesn’t always mean bringing into action bulldozers and moving the earth. It’s noteworthy that municipalities’ activities magazine unfailingly include a section dedicated to activities for older athletes. "For our recreation playbook we did a lot of research and consultation," said Service. "As baby boomers age, they don’t always want program-specific facilities as much as something to do that is agespecific. "We have added a lot of group fitness classes, so it’s less about hard impact classes and toward full body and core conditioning. Stuff that is a lot easier on the joints." Georgina has been an avid booster of sports for seniors and has hosted Seniors Games events regularly since 1995. Georgina has seniors centres, or Club 55 facilities, in Keswick, Sutton and Pefferlaw. Additionally, a proposed multi-use recreation facility in the south end of Keswick will be designed with seniors’ needs in mind. "Georgina has one of the highest rates of seniors’ participation," said director of recreation and culture Robin McDougall. "We are responding to this very active group. It’s now a more active group than ever and we have to be more creative to meet their needs. The regular standbys such as cards, billiards and darts are sharing the spotlight with carpet bowling, shuffleboard and yoga, among other activities. "It’s definitely a more active (age group) than even 15 years ago," said McDougall. "It’s a younger senior that wants to be more active." The message is plain and simple: Play on!

Brouwer wants town to issue commercial fill permit l Continued from front
The Drinking Water Source Protection map for the Lake Simcoe Watershed has identified the location on Leslie as a high vulnerability aquifer. But the applicant said its experts performed soil tests at the site and told council there is a large enough natural aquitard, or sedimentary buffer, in
place that it wouldn’t affect area wells. Carmella Marshall from the Ontario Soil Regulation Task Force said there is ample evidence to prove sites such as this that are being filled can and will contaminate well water, especially in a high vulnerability area, adding these operations don’t mix well with established neighbourhoods. "It is in proximity to a
community. These large industrial operations do not coexist well with the community," Marshall said. For its part, Georgina council has passed a unanimous motion to oppose any large fill site at the Leslie location. Due to the site’s proximity to Georgina, ill effects of operation could be felt north of Ravenshoe, the neighbouring politicians said.

Next year is not only the final year of this term of council, it is also an election year, where a new council will be elected to guide the town through the 2018 to 2022 period. This period will be one of change and growth. East Gwillimbury must have a council in place that is able to make decisions, balancing the traditions of the Town with the growth we will be experiencing. As we look ahead to a new term, we must explore whether the current electoral system in East Gwillimbury is appropriate for the next and future terms of council. There is currently no legislation that requires a municipality to review its electoral system. However, as times change, it is prudent to evaluate the system to ensure residents’ needs are being met. As a result, in 2016, a full electoral review was conducted by consultants who specialize in municipal government.

EDITORIAL | OPINION
• EDITORIAL •
Are tougher fines required for distracted drivers? The symbolism was perhaps a bit heavy handed, but the message was crystal clear. In the continuing effort by police to convince drivers that texting or talking on cellphones while behind the wheel can be disastrous, Toronto police put a hearse into service as an unmarked vehicle on Feb. 21. The grim visual, part of a weeklong effort to combat distracted driving in the city, was intended to convey the message to motorists that using mobile hand-held devices could land you or someone else in that sombre vehicle, so common to funeral processions. If the approach seems dramatic, it’s important to point out that authorities are fighting an uphill battle when it comes to ending distracted driving, as they are with impaired driving, despite decades of powerful messaging and RIDE campaigns. Last year, police observed the phenomenon become even more common than drunk driving. By the end of August last year, there were 38 distracted-driving deaths, compared to 19 impaired-related fatalities. Overall, 2016 saw 309 traffic fatalities on OPP-patrolled roads, up from 301 the year before, and distracted driving was one of the main causes. In Ontario, texting, talking into a hand-held mobile device, even eating while driving, can result in a fine between $490 and $1,000, plus the loss of three demerit points. A ticket can also result in a $200 or more uptick on your insurance bill. Distracted driving has been illegal in this province since 2009. Insurance Bureau of Canada statistics show that a driver is 23 times more likely to be involved in a collision if texting while driving and four times more likely if talking on a cellphone. Eighty per cent of collisions involve some sort of driver inattention. But drivers continue to do it. A Canadian Automobile Association survey, conducted late last year, revealed that 33 per cent of Canadians admit to texting at red lights. If stiffer penalties are what’s required (Transport Minister Marc Garneau is calling for national standards on fines) then they should be implemented. We can’t allow distracted drivers to continue to make our roads more dangerous.

A round-up of reaction online The story: Newmarket council set to pass on proposed Hollingsworth arena development Isn’t there enough rinks in on Newmarket?Twinney has two and Magna has 4!!! Thomas William If a rink is to be built to replace the current facility, it should be incorporated into the new structure being built. Terry Martin The story: Minimum wage for Ontario workers goes to $11.60 as of Oct. 1 Whip-de-do... what’s that an extra $16 a pay check...which the govt takes 45% ...looking at $9 extra every two weeks...woo hoo...easy street here we come...!! Michael Norton $20 minimum. Needs to be a living wage. Al Baars
The story: New GO station extends Richmond Hill line to Bloomington and Highway 404 Exactly what jobs will they be taking us to? Why not create entrepreneurs and tell CRA to get out of the way instead of creating wage slaves to serve your corporate friends? Then we wouldn’t need infrastructure like this.

Don’t let fear stop you
Reality doesn’t align with opinion on renewables Re: OPINION: Don’t blame renewable energy for Ontario’s electricity costs, March 9. Keith Brooks, programs director at Environmental Defence, is quoted as saying ". To keep costs low, we need to see more renewables in Ontario’s future," and, "Wind and solar power costs are plummeting.". Meanwhile, in the real world things don’t match up with Mr. Brooks’ take on renewables. For every source of solar- or windgenerated electricity that is attached to the grid, there must be a "conventional" generating source (nuclear, hydro, gas-fired generators) of equivalent output. The conventional sources are required to provide the stability of a baseload to the grid and to ensure the grid provides sufficient electricity when the wind is not blowing and the sun is not shining. In other words, there first must be enough conventional sources of electricity to meet consumers’ demand. Then, one can add (and this is not cheap to do) intermittent sources of power to the grid. The Auditor General for Ontario, in at least two reports, has quantified the billions of dollars that this scenario has needlessly cost Ontarians. Similar experiences have occurred around the world. Australian politicians are in panic mode because the government’s actions to shut down conventional generating sources in favour of so-called "green" energy) have led to an official forecast that the country will have insufficient electricity in 2018-19. Businesses have shut down, or have reduced staff to cut costs, partly in response to skyrocketing prices for electricity (think, subsidies) and due to power blackouts (see the state of South Australia, particularly). Germany, a country with one of the most ambitious green targets, is now considering the construction of 12 coal-fired generating plants to replace nuclear plants they are planning to shut and so as to add more reliability to their grid because of the country’s experience with unreliable wind power. A study of Spain, another country with massive wind power on their grid, demonstrated that, for every job created by "green" power, two to four jobs were lost. Mr. Brooks might also like to explain why some other jurisdictions are not enthusiastic about "green" power. Just one, for instance: there are 1,500 to 2,000 coal-fired plants under construction or planned for China, other parts of Asia, and the Mid-

Nease’s cartoons missed by reader As a longtime Aurora resident and, by extension, reader of The Banner, I miss looking at Steve Nease’s hilarious cartoons in my local paper. I hope not to offend anyone by admitting that his cartoons were truly a highlight of my reading experience as they stood out in the artistry and quality of social commentary - timely, courageous, clear, welldrawn, and - first of all - funny. I hope dropping Nease was not a misguided political decision caused by fears rooted in political correctness. Free press cannot survive without free thinkers and in Nease’s case, consummate professionals that put community newspapers on the map. I have no doubt that many York Region readers feel the same - they enjoyed the chuckles without always having to agree with the point. Nease was a rare personality and celebrity that brought your papers many awards and, frankly, increased the readership. My wife would routinely cut out his cartoons to post them on the fridge - an honour not bestowed on any Toronto Star or Globe and Mail cartoonist. I used his work in my high-school classroom to teach about logic and social satire in visual art. Nease simply towered above the rest, and we truly hope you can bring him back. Mirek Lalas Aurora

Important to cherish, celebrate our values

It has become increasingly controversial and subjective to talk or write about Canadian values. The media, the politicians, and everyone else seem to be misguiding the core principles that most newcomers to Canada cherish. I am a former refugee; my family and I landed here on a ministerial permit, cherished the opportunity afforded to us and tried us best to integrate ourselves into the system. It was Canada’s core values which allowed us to find the peace and tranquility we were seeking! These core values of tolerance, acceptance and fundamental freedoms are the part of Canadian values that we must celebrate without hesitation. The values which our community championed as a way to rejuvenate our spirits and establish a second chance for ourselves are now being deemed not politically correct. You can be a NDP, Liberal, Conservative or Green party member, but we all need to celebrate Canadian values and educate our children about them as well. If we don’t’ cherish our values, we will only go down a reckless path. Raj Subramaniam Markham

beautify the path for the Via bus (that I hardly see anyone even riding) to see bright orange spray paint being applied to our new sidewalks. This is being done to mark the underground paths of existing water, cable phone and gas lines in order to install more of the same. I thought that part of the idea of the way the sidewalks were installed was to provide an underground path for future installations by installing empty conduits. This along with the brick and paving stone installation was to eliminate the future cutting of the sidewalks at a much greater cost than just installing concrete. It also was to enhance the look of the walkway along Davis Drive. I guess someone could neither see the future less than a year after completion, or thought that the beautiful orange spray markings along the street would improve the look. Either way, I think it is a complete mess and can’t wait to see if anyone will be removing all the bright orange paint once the work is finished. Paul Tiffin Newmarket
Imagine that you could work terribly hard on something, only to fail miserably. I experienced this exact situation countless times in my childhood. Times when I had put my everything into a project, essay, test or exam only to fail completely at the task. I decided not to care at all rather than care a lot and be let down. I accepted I would always get bad grades and so why put in the effort. Today I’m an adult with a learning disability and have adopted an extremely different outlook on failure. The jump between these two mindsets did not occur overnight. It is an ongoing process of reframing my perspective on failure. Here is what that looks like for me: When we encounter complex challenges, our minds get to work breaking down how to approach this task. Because of previous failures, I started putting myself down before thinking of a solution. I would shield myself from even attempting the task, thus avoiding failure. This negative self-talk started changing when I worked on my positive self-talk skill development. One strategy I use is to write it out. I write down all my fears about the challenge I am facing. For example, let’s pretend my challenge is to write a blog post for a website. My negative self-talk sounds like this: I have a hard time with spelling. How embarrassing would it be if wrote something wrong and sent it out? I do not have enough time. I will never meet the deadline and I have nothing important or good to say. The next task is to find ways, tools and supports to address these issues. I change the voice on my head to sound something like this: I will have my work read back to me using speech-totext software. I will also use my peers to help me with editing I will use my calendar to help plan out times to work. I will use my brainstorming apps and programs to help support me with thinking of some ideas. By breaking down exactly what my fears are and focusing on solution-oriented self-talk, my anxiety about failure decreases drastically. If I am able to learn from my failures and grow from them, then to me they are learning opportunities. For example, in my first year of university I had a psychology exam the fifth week. I reread my notes over and over again until I had memorized them. However, I almost failed the exam. So I approached my second exam in the course differently. This time I used picture and mind maps as tools to visually intake the information and cater to my preferred learning style.

HOCKEY
Hockey player suffers rare tendon injury BREA BARTHOLET bbartholet@yrmg.com It all happened within a matter of seconds. At first, Bradford’s Jackson Carruthers, 14, didn’t quite know just how serious his injury was - until he was admitted for emergency surgery to treat his severed Achilles tendon. On Feb. 26, the Aurora Tigers player was out on the ice against Stouffville, when he collided with an opposing player. Carruthers says he attempted to get up after feeling a hit to his lower right leg, but collapsed immediately afterward and began to feel the pain. He had suffered from a deep slice to the back of his skate, which cut into 90 per cent of his Achilles tendon. Assistant coach and team trainer Mark MacDougall, who is also an athletic therapist, was the first one to respond to the wound on Carruthers’ leg. "I’ve never seen an injury like that before in my days on the ice," he explained. "Jackson is one of our toughest players as far as I’m concerned, so when he goes down, you know he’s hurt." The injury has forced Carruthers to wear a temporary cast, which will be removed for a third upcoming surgery. If everything goes well, Carruthers could be up on skates by the beginning of July following a lot of rest and intense therapy from MacDougall. Unfortunately, the injury cut Carruthers’ season with the Aurora Tigers short. Now, he and dad Brian are working on what can be done to help other players to ensure this kind of injury doesn’t happen again. "Among all of the equipment hockey players have, they don’t have anything to

Bradford’s Jackson Carruthers, 14, and father Brian hope the young hockey player’s Achilles tendon injury will help other teams and organizations focus on mandatory protective gear. protect themselves in that leg area," said Brian. "But we want this to be a learning experience not only for us, but for other parents, players and organizations." Brian adds that the Aurora Tigers, York-Simcoe Minor Hockey League and Hockey Canada have all been co-operative and very helpful throughout the in-
jury process - and parents and players from the Stouffville team have even approached them to ask about his son’s recovery. Kevlar socks - a protective layer that can resist most cuts from a skate have now come into question. But the socks are not a mandatory piece of equipment. And at nearly $40 a
pair, they are a little expensive, too. The injury is so rare that hockey associations waive the need for such things. MacDougall says though the socks don’t need to be made mandatory per se, it should be easy enough to include that kind of material right into the general hockey socks that every player is required to wear
as part of their uniform. Brian and his son agree. "Everyone should be protected, no matter how it’s done," said Carruthers. "It doesn’t necessarily need to be a Kevlar sock, but we hope this will create a movement to somehow protect the players," added Brian. And their concerns have been heard.

EDUCATION
Parents call for clean sweep at school board as ministry review wraps up TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com A group of York Region parents are pushing for a clean sweep of those at the helm of the York Region District School Board. With the Ministry of Education’s review of the public board’s handling of complaints involving incidents of racism and questionable spending on international travel set to wrap up April 7, the National Council of Canadian Muslims has sent a letter outlining several recommendations it would like considered. The letter was submitted on behalf of parents who currently have human rights complaints
lodged against the school board for alleged incidents of racism, and by supporting organizations including the Markham Tamil Community Association, the Mosaic Institute and the Vaughan African Canadian Association. Charline Grant, a Vaughan parent who was one of the first to file a human rights complaint against the school board, has her fingers crossed for an outcome that will bring change. "We are hoping that with all of the people and groups involved in the review, that everyone will come up with the best recommendations to give York Region the gold-
en seal," Grant said. "If the same people remain doing the same thing, there won’t be change." Among the list of changes she and the other organizations would like to see is the appointment of an ombudsperson to ensure accountability. As well, a place to lodge violation complaints, also tops her wish list. Other recommendations include changes to the curricula to include social justice and diverse community instruction; replacing the current director of education J. Philip Parappally; shuffling associate directors; and the appointment of a provincial supervisor
by the education minister to ensure the review recommendations are put into action. "(The board) keeps saying it is dedicated to equity and transparency, but that’s not enough," Grant continued. "This board has not proved that it is capable of policing itself." In an email statement, Parappally stated the school board "remains committed to providing safe, welcoming and inclusive learning environments for our students and staff members to succeed." He acknowledged there are areas for improvement and looks forward to receiv-
ing the report and implementing the recommendations he is confident will benefit the organization moving forward. Through the review, ministry-appointed reviewers Patrick Case and Sue Herbert have spoken to parents, community members, students, staff, unions, trustees and more in the course of 75 interviews. Following the submission of a report penned by the reviewers, Education Minister Mitzie Hunter will review the recommendations and decide how to direct the school board going forward, according to ministry spokesperson Sean

This public meeting is the second public meeting in relation to the 2017 Development Charge Background Study and Bylaw (the first was held on March 9, 2017). The purpose of this second public meeting is to receive additional input on a proposed Regionwide bylaw for imposing development charges against all lands in York Region (with the exception of wastewater charges in the Village of Nobleton, Township of King).

President wants safe hockey socks mandatory JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com If Joe Bentolila had his way, every minor hockey player would have protection to prevent against the type of serious injury suffered by Jackson Carruthers. The 14-year-old Bradford resident and member of the Aurora Tigers bantam hockey team suffered a seasonending injury when his Achilles tendon was sliced by a skate during a playoff hockey game against the Stouffville Clippers in late February. Bentolila is president of the Aurora Minor Hockey Association and hopes to have his organization en-
forcing the safety feature by the 2017-18 season. "We are looking for a way to implement a non-cut material for our socks for next year," said Bentolila, who as president of the York Simcoe Minor Hockey League, will also bring the issue to the floor at its annual general meeting in April. "We think we have a product but it’s a matter of how to get it within a certain cost." That’s the catch. High socks that protect exposed calf and Achilles are available but the cost usually starts at around $40 per pair. In a perfect hockey world, traditional socks worn over shin pads would be made with a Kevlar backing to protect the gap be-
tween the stiff back of today’s skate and exposed flesh. "It’s no different than a concussion helmet," said Bentolila. "If you can get it, you do it. At what point do we say to hell with the cost and go for safety? "It’s very alarming. All it takes is battling in the corner for a puck and one player accidentally steps on another’s calf. It’s very, very frightening for the player when they are cut and bleeding pretty severely. This is the second time it has happened in my 16 years as president in Aurora. It’s two too many." The flaw that led to Carruthers’ injury is a skate that has a stiff back support

In a perfect hockey world, traditional socks worn over shin pads would be made with a Kevlar backing to protect the gap between the stiff back of today’s skate and exposed flesh. that can pull away from the players leg by several inches. Safety after such instances is usually swift but doesn’t necessarily translate into a
major spike in sales of protective gear. "It takes an incident for people to start talking," said Ertl. "Our guys try to push
Kevlar products but it’s a difficult sell. People see two pairs of socks for a fraction of the price and that’s the way they go." Ertl also pointed to neck and throat guards as critical pieces of equipment to protect exposed areas of the body. "The game has changed so much," said Darren Ertl, general manager of All Pro Source For Sports in Newmarket. "Skates come up to face level. You see it every night on highlights where a skate just misses someone’s face. I’m surprised more people aren’t sliced open. It doesn’t take much to get a skate in there and when it does it can create a lot of damage."

Aurora Tigers hire Vince Bellissimo to tame bench JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com The Aurora Tigers have a new voice calling the shots behind the bench. Vince Bellissimo was announced as head coach of the Ontario Junior Hockey League club, general manager Dermot Anderson said Sunday night. The 34-year-old Nobleton resident was named to the post after a four-day span in which the Ontario Junior Hockey League club had a vacancy at the position following the March 22 dismissal of Brian Perrin. "He’s a hard-working hockey guy who is going to be great for this organization," said Tigers’ general manager Dermot Anderson. "He’s the real deal. We’re heading in a great di-
rection and will be a playoff team next season. "I’ve known Vince from minor hockey circles for many years and when it came time to have interviews I wanted to leave no stone unturned and asked him for an interview." Bellissimo most recently coached the Greater Toronto Hockey League’s Toronto Red Wings at the 2000 birth year category until 2016 before sitting out the past season. He also has OJHL experience as a development coach with the St. Michael’s Buzzers in 2015-16. The Tigers posted a dismal 9-39-2-4 record last season to finish 20th among 22 teams in the OJHL and out of the playoffs. "I’m really excited to get started in junior hockey,"
Milton Flyers put sting on Toronto Bees in Dangle Fest final
said Bellissimo Monday afternoon. "I know this team had an off-year last year and disappointed people but things are going to change. "I’m big on culture and character and leadership and leading by example. No coach will outwork me. There is a serious expectation for winning. That was last year, this is this year." A former player for the Buzzers, Bellissimo played NCAA hockey at Western Michigan University and in professional leagues in North America and Italy. He was a fifth-round draft pick of the Florida Panthers in 2002. Perrin coached the team for the final 32 games of the season after replacing Nik Poliakov at the start of November.

A former member of the Newmarket Hurricanes, Whitehead scored two goals as the Flyers topped Toronto Bees 7-3 in the final of the three-on-three tournament to pocket the $7,000 winners’ share of the $15,000 prize purse. Carson Devine, who played Junior A for the Stouffville Spirit, also scored two goals. Ridge Garbutt notched all three goals for Toronto. It was the second

St. Theresa Lions score silver at OFSAA hockey JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com Sometimes the best way to get a stellar result is to tell a team it is average. The St. Theresa of Lisieux Lions boys senior hockey team was tabbed ninth in a 16-team field for the provincial high school championships last week. That middleof-the-pack designation typically translates into not a great deal of expectation. However, the Lions belied that pre-tournament assessment by
skating to a silver medal at the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association triple-A championships last week in Mississauga. The Richmond Hillbased school bowed 3-0 in the final against Mississauga’s St. Martin Mustangs in the gold medal match at Port Credit Memorial Arena. Both finalists emerged from the same round-robin pool, where St. Theresa scored a 5-1 victory in their head-tohead clash. Both teams posted 2-1 records to finish as part of a three-way
tie but advanced on goal differential. In the final, however, St. Martin built a 2-0 lead and added an empty-net goal for the victory. "I’m really happy with the result although disappointed to not come away with the prize after getting there," said Lions’ head coach John Spicer. "Our kids played over their heads especially since the team started out losing its first three games of the season." That faltering start was followed by a string of 12 straight wins in reg-
ular season and playoffs action, propelling the Lions into the OFSAA event for just the second time in school history and first as York Region champions. "Just to get to OFSAA is a great accomplishment," said Spicer. After squeezing through pool play on goal differential along with St. Martin, the Lions knocked off No. 3 seed Brooklin Bears before edging Malvern Black Knights 4-3 in a shootout which required 10 players per side to resolve.

I cannot seem to find any shoes that are wide enough to be comfortable for my bunions and curled toes. Am I destined to wear open-toed sandals even in the winter?
What is gum disease and why is it important to prevent it?
Even the most wide shoes with 6E width can still rub and irritate the feet If the toes are curled high and the bunions are severely enlarged. In these cases, modifications can be considered whereby areas of the shoes can be cut out and patched higher or wider. Another option to consider is custommade shoes which are made completely from scratch according to a cast taken of the foot, so it will accommodate any lumps or bumps that tend to get irritated. These custom-made shoes are covered by some extended health insurance plans.
Gum disease is an infection of the gums and is the most common dental problem. According to the Canadian Dental Association, 7 out of 10 people will have gum disease at some time of their lives. The infection destroys gum tissue and teeth become loose and can fall out. To prevent gum disease, proper oral hygiene which includes frequent brushing and flossing is important to remove plaque. If the plaque hardens, it becomes tartar (also called calculus) and it is this tartar that promotes bacterial infection. Regular dentist visits are important to remove this tartar.

Can I get more time to pay my fines? In some circumstances yes, however you will need to file for an extension of time to pay in the court of jurisdiction (the court that convicted you). Once you file this for an extension, a justice will determine the outcome of your request, and they will either grant or deny the extension. There are stiff penalties for unpaid fines, so I suggest you take care of any extension requests PRIOR to your due date.

Yes. The i.e.s.o. (Independent Electricity System Operator) continues to offer a $250 rebate until December 31, 2017 on replacement furnaces with an ECM (electrically commutated motor). The existing program on new or replacement central air conditioners will continue until June 30, 2017 with either a $250 or $400 rebate dependent on the unit’s efficiency. As of July 1st, the a/c program will change substantially; however, the industry currently has no details. It may be advisable to arrange for an early onsite evaluation if you are thinking about changing your equipment this season. Also, many manufacturers offer spring programs which may include additional rebates.

Probably not. Carpets with a thick, loop pile construction (and especially those with wool fibres) may be sensitive to the brushing or rubbing of the pile surface that a beater bar or rotating brush vacuum will administer. The surface may become fuzzy or the tufts could get dislodged from the backing. For these products (and also those with a combination thick or thin or cable yarn), a suction only vacuum is recommended.

Sudden coaching change shakes up Tigers’ den once again It is far too early to say if firing Brian Perrin as head coach last week makes the Aurora Tigers a better team this week. As we speak today, though, that is the feeling inside the organization with the hiring of Vince Bellissimo, who brings a minor hockey portfolio from the Toronto Red Wings 2000-born age group, although no measurable experience at the junior level. Expected sentiment, of course. Then again, what is the measuring stick? There’s not an awful lot of experience at the junior level in an organization that is struggling to find its way. Bellissimo, 34, was hired March 26, four days after Perrin’s surprising dismissal by rookie general manager Dermot Anderson who, by the way, is vowing already that the Tigers will be an Ontario Junior Hockey League playoff team next season. Big, bold talk and we’ll see about that later. A Tigers fan might be pardoned for feeling the detection of a pattern sur-
JOHN CUDMORE Cuddy Shark rounding their hockey team that has plunged downward in the past two seasons and finally hit rock bottom this winter. James Richmond. Mark Joslin. Thomas Milne. Nik Poliakov. Brian Perrin. All have been head coaches since owner Jim Thomson took over the franchise prior to the 2015-16 season. Only Richmond walked away on his own accord, now as head coach of the Ontario Hockey League’s Mississauga Steelheads. Perrin, who was plopped into the role of head coach for the OJHL team when the season was already doomed in November under inexperienced leadership, was under the impression he would return for the
2017-18 season. Why? Well, that’s pretty much what he was told. Regardless, he was given no real chance to perform. In that sense, Perrin gets a bad shake. How getting rid of the one individual in your organization with the best talent identifying and recruiting abilities makes your team better is a head-scratcher. Clearly, Perrin was not brought into the fold to be a placeholder. He is far better than that. The flip side is that if the Tigers are better for it, then Anderson and Bellissimo will have done one heck of a job. Still, the fear is that the Tigers lopped off their best chance to compete with the next-door neighbours, the Newmarket Hurricanes, for top-end talent coming out of the York Simcoe Express triple-A program and quite possibly St. Andrew’s College, too. Stability, and the fact the Hurricanes were probably the best team in the North Division over the final two months of the season, won’t go unnoticed by prospects.
Stability, and the fact the Hurricanes were probably the best team in the North Division over the final two months of the season, won’t go unnoticed by prospects.
After a couple of seasons of spinning their wheels under a new ownership, the Hurricanes handed over the hockey part of the game to Thomas Milne while GM Eric Cella handles the business side of the operation. The payoff is starting to show up with the results on the ice. Time will tell if the Tigers can say the same.
Taking the body Body checking in minor hockey is poised to take another elbow to the chops. A push to eliminate the skill at the older age groups of lower-end rep levels is gaining traction, according to Joe Bentolila, president of the York Simcoe Minor Hockey League. Bentolila, who is also
president of the Aurora Minor Hockey Association, said centres increasingly are on board with the concept which would replace the additional entry (AE) level, the fourth tier of rep hockey in Ontario, with an extension of non-body checking hockey popularized at peewee and younger age groups. Already, he notes, Newmarket, Georgina and Barrie are on board with the minor development (MD) stream which essentially will replace the additional entry (AE) category from minor bantam onward to the midget level. The belief is the MD concept appeals to players interested in competing at a higher level of competitive hockey, minus the hard
knocks. "AE is really an extension of house league," said Bentolila, "so why not give kids an opportunity to play at the next level? The interest is there, definitely. If it keeps them playing hockey good for them." The reality is that kids are dropping out of the higher age groups at a disturbing rate. "This might be a chance to cut the decline," said Bentolila. "If we don’t try something we will simply continue to lose players. I think this is more likely to bring kids out of house league who are pretty skilled, but not interested in the body checking part of hockey." The concept is not intended to remove all contact from hockey. In fact, said Bentolila, organizations can make their own decisions to pursue the MD model. "There will always be incidental contact," said Bentolila. "We have to get rid of the checking from behind and the north-south collisions." And make the game fun for more players again.

Memoriam
Remembered with Love
Harry Syratt Left us too soon on March 30, 2010 It is hard to imagine that seven years have passed so quickly, since memories of him are still so vivid and fresh. We will have a day of tears and smiles when we think of him. His music plays on. - Always and Forever Joan Syratt and family WILLIAMS, Mark David In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who passed away March 30, 2013. I wish I could see you one more time Come walking through the door, But I know that is impossible I will hear your voice no more. I know you can feel my tears, And you don't want me to cry. Yet my heart is broken, Because I can't understand why Someone so precious had to die. I pray that God will give me strength And somehow get me through, As I struggle with this heartache That came when I lost you. Lovingly remembered by wife Patty, son Mark Jr. (wife Amanda), daughter Amanda, grandchildren Kendall, Peyton, Nash, and fur babies Sushi, L u m i , P i k a , a n d H o l l y, a n d y o u r buddy in Heaven, Nikki.
In loving memory of Pearl Webber Who passed away April 1, 2014 Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us everyday, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, sill missed and very dear. ~Always loved and remembered by Marianne and family.
