The list of 104 men caught in the York Regional Police underage prostitution sting includes many who one might refer to as "family men."

’Family men’ caught in child prostitution sting JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com What are the backgrounds of the York Region men trying to hire girls as young as 13 for sex? The short answer is, they come from all walks of life. However, when one burrows

into the list of 104 men caught in the York Regional Police underage prostitution sting, it can be said that many are what one might refer to as "family men." "Almost all of these men were first offenders," said Susan Orlando, the Ministry of the Attorney General’s provincial co-ordinator

for the human-trafficking team. "Otherwise they had stable jobs and families and are not the type of people who usually you would see in the criminal justice system." The police agreed that these men did not fit the typical criminal profile.

Home for mentally ill raises concerns in community KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com York Region Community and Health Services is investigating The Newmarket Residence after tenants were reported wandering in apparent distress near Davis Drive and Warden Avenue. The investigation follows an incident Sunday evening when a driver said she nearly hit an elderly man walking on the highway. "He had no clue, he was just walking out onto the road. He was going to be smoked for sure," said Robynn Sniderman. Shaken, she helped move the man away from the busy road. "He was wearing pajamas. His entire backside, all the way down to his feet, was covered in dried feces." Speaking in broken English, the man told her he was hungry and was going to the market. When she entered the tree-bor-

In a nearby wooded area she saw a man, wet, muddy and looking dazed.

"I felt like I’d entered the zombie apocalypse. He kept falling down. Two other men were trying to pull him out and his hands were bleeding." She walked into the unlocked building and searched until she found an employee. "I said, ’I just pulled one of your residents off the road; he could have been killed. And there’s another one in the woods.’ "But she just laughed.I was appalled to see so many low-functioning residents with very high needs and zero supervision." Owner-operator Icilda Tate said there is supervision, "to a certain extent". Four staff were on duty at 5:30 pm., she said. The East Gwillimbury facility is listed online as an 82-bed community residence with 24-hour support and supervision for vulnerable adults with physical or cognitive impairments. Residents are free to come and

go as they please, Tate said. "They sign themselves out. And sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they just go.It’s not a lockdown facility." Many walk to the gas station or 404 plaza a few kilometres west on Davis Drive, she said, and some have been hit by cars. The two-lane highway has no sidewalks, just gravel shoulders. "They go missing, too.The police know this facility very well. We call them very often." YRP Const. Andy Pattenden confirmed, "we are aware of it and we attend regularly". Pattenden said most calls from the residence relate to "missing" reports - there were seven in 2016 and two so far in 2017 - but many more calls come from concerned citizens regarding people walking on Davis or trespassing in nearby stores. l See TENANTS, page 9

COUNCIL

Public split on if town should move to ward system SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com Be careful what you wish for. East Gwillimbury council wanted more input from the public to help make a decision on the town’s electoral review. But if councillors thought the April 19 public meeting would give them more clarity on what direction to take they were sorely mistaken. Around 70 residents piled into council chambers and what became abundantly clear 15 minutes into the meeting was there was no consensus. What further complicated the matter is residents were responding to different ideas: whether East Gwillimbury should switch from an at-large electoral system to a ward system and if they

should add two additional members to council. Holland Landing resident Don Howard was adamant he didn’t want to move ward system. "Right now I have four reps on council that I can go to if I have a problem. I don’t want it to be reduced to one," he said. There were several others who espoused support for the status quo. Resident Bruce Robitaille said it would be best if council did nothing siting the 2010 ballot question on the issue. "The electorate told you to leave it alone. Nobody can say one system is better than the other," he said. Holland Landing resident Doug Leitch also didn’t understand what the problem was with l See NO, page 8

UPCOMING PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE Green Lane Secondary Plan May 2 from 6 to 8 p.m. Presentation at 6:10 p.m. Civic Centre, 19000 Leslie St. Sharon The Town of East Gwillimbury is undertaking a Secondary Plan process to create the detailed planning framework and identify land uses for the future development of the Green Lane Corridor from west of Yonge Street, to Leslie Street. In January 2017, the public had an opportunity to provide input on land use concepts, urban design principles, and sustainability principles. Input from that session has been considered in the development of Preliminary Land Use Concepts and supporting reports. A second Public Open House will be held to provide an opportunity for residents and interested stakeholders to provide input on the Preliminary Land Use Concepts before Council considers a recommendation from the project team. The meeting will include a short presentation at 6:10 p.m. with the remaining time dedicated to a workshop where participants can provide comments and seek clarification from the project team. Written submissions and inquiries on this matter should be directed to Robin Prentice at rprentice@eastgwillimbury.ca. Additional information is available at www.eastgwillimbury.ca/planningapplications.

advertiser on the web, not knowing the person on the other end of the email or text is a police officer. Once contact is made, the officer makes it clear the would-be victim is aged 13 to 16. If the man moves on at this point, he is left alone by police. If he engages, a deal is made over text. When he shows up at the hotel, he is arrested. The texts of a 25-year-old pilot on one night highlight how brazen these men are; he said he was willing to pay $250 for a 13-yearold girl. At a news conference on April 21 at York police’s Aurora headquarters, investigators detailed statistics showing how successful the sting has been - 32 guilty pleas and five trials resulting in guilty findings and only five charges withdrawn. Truong said investigations began around Christmas 2012 when police tried to get just one underage victim home for the holidays. Police discovered 31 women being trafficked, nine of whom were younger than 18. "That led us to the genesis of how we are going to combat child sex trafficking," he said. The sting has proved effective considering how hard it has been in the past to extricate underage victims from the world of prostitution, he added. "Enlisting co-operation from these victims is very difficult," Truong said, explaining that out of the 85 minors identified as trafficked in the region, only 49 were extricated by police and their pimps charged. "Getting them to trust us is challenging." Orlando said she has assigned a team of Crowns to help prosecute these crimes and help train others to do the same. So far, sentences have ranged from three to seven months in prison. As for the men charged, a list shows seven from Vaughan, six from Richmond Hill, 11 from Markham, three from Newmarket, one from Aurora, three from Stouffville and one from Bradford. The prices negotiated for the would-be victims’ services ranged from $60 to $120 for a halfhour and $140 to $300 for an hour, Truong said.

Protect your children Det.-Sgt. Thai Truong said many young girls were lured via the Internet and particularly social media. Here are some York police tips on how to avoid problems with young people on these platforms. 1. Have secure settings on your computer. Whether it’s for Wi-Fi access, social media sites, or email, using strong passwords and using website and software protection features will help protect you 2. Learn about what online platforms your kids use and familiarize yourself with them 3. Stress the importance of never sending or sharing inappropriate pictures or messages. This can negatively affect their future when applying to college or university or when looking for employment, and could potentially be a criminal offence 4. Talk to your children about inappropriate content and how to deal with it.

Sandra Zuliani sits with framed photographs of her parents and her children.

’Reflection, feeling lost’ common for women over 50 While Zuliani is very content with the decision she made, she admits there are times when she wonders what life would be like if she was still in the work world. "I get resentment at times because I always feel I’m not at my potential," she said, adding her sister has helped her with care for their parents. Caring for ailing family members has often been difficult, Zuliani, said. "Nobody prepares you. The same as parenting, nobody prepares you. Everyone says it’s going to be the hardest job," she said. "But parenting is a choice. Parenting your parents has chosen you. And it’s beyond stressful." While Zuliani is enjoying greater self-confidence and more financial freedom than when she was younger, she and her female friends over 50 share "war stories" about issues they’ve never encountered before. Those can range from raising children in an age

LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com Five years ago, when Sandra Zuliani turned 50, the York Region woman quit her job as an accounts manager to care for her mother stricken with dementia, her aging in-laws and an elderly family friend who had no one else to turn to. Zuliani, who was still working when she cared for her father before he died of cancer in 2008, also wanted to be home to steer daughters Lauren and Vanessa through their teenage years and to support husband Sandro, who works very long hours. "I had to make a choice for myself, forget about yourself for the next five years. Concentrate on your family," Zuliani said while sitting in a comfortable chair in her Aurora home. "I didn’t want to look back and have regrets if everybody wasn’t where they needed to be."

I had to make a choice for myself: Forget about yourself for the next five. Concentrate on your family. - Sandra Zuliani of more complex challenges to anxieties of never having grandchildren because of the length of time it is taking for their grown children to launch their careers and families. Next month, Zuliani will join a new six-week Fifty Plus women’s group being run by Thornhill psychologist and author Sara Dimerman. Not only are women dealing with new things in their 50s that are new to them personally, such as empty nest syndrome and concerns about aging, this generation 50-plus females may be coping with issues previous generations didn’t have to, Dimerman said. For example, today’s economy and housing market means children are often leaving home much lat-

er because they can’t afford rent or a mortgage. Or they are returning to the roost if they have lost jobs or are facing divorce. They may also be bringing their children with them, meaning three generations could be living in the house. Four, if elderly parents are also there. With women having children later in life, women likely no longer enjoy a gap between the time when they are raising their children and when they take on caring for their elderly parents, Dimerman said. And with people living longer and often with more complex health problems than in the past, women may be caring for aging and sick parents and inlaws for much longer than they may have in the past,

retired person. It’s an inbetween stage of life," she said. "It’s a period of betweenness. It’s a period of reflection but for many women it’s a period of feeling lost. Women will tell me I retired from teaching but I don’t know what to do with my life. I want to feel productive but I can’t start a new career, I’m too old for that. I’m not going to get as easily hired as younger people and I’m overqualified and they are going to think I want more money. What am I going to do with the rest of my life? It is a time of inner reflection and a time of feeling lost and confused." Zuliani said the group will help her "develop some techniques and ideas to basically help contend with what I consider to be some life-changing, dramatic issues." The group starts May 2.

she said. "Instead of running your children to their pediatric appointments, you’re running your parents to their gerontologist appointment," said Dimerman, adding that caring for aging parents can bring on fears of aging and mortality in many women. Men may also be facing similar challenges but often deal with them in a different way, said Dimerman, adding women still tend to be the primary caregivers in their families. While men want to look good as they age, society places much more pressure on women when it comes to their looks, she said. Dimerman said her group will allow women to feel acknowledged and encouraged as they navigate changes in their 50s. "Being in your 50s is almost like being a tween. You’re no longer like an adult raising children and you don’t see yourself as a

Council works to manage growth in East Gwillimbury community and see new developments, you are looking at over 25 years of history and planning come to life. Many of the approvals for the new subdivisions being built date back to the late 1980s. In fact, the Sharon Community plan was adopted in 1988, the Mount Albert Community Plan in 1989, the Queensville Community Plan in 1990, and the Holland Landing Community Plan in 1996. The development process is long-term and takes many shapes before a builder is able to put a shov-

Council recognizes that growth is a topic of significant interest among East Gwillimbury residents. We are often asked why there seems to be so much growth at once and how, as a Council, we are ensuring that growth happens in a responsible manner.

ments are key priorities for Council. To ensure that development is managed responsibly, the Town’s subdivision agreements were updated in 2014 with new stringent regulations. The updates included a requirement for phasing plans, and regulations on where construction can take place. Generally, construction now starts adjacent to existing development and then moves away from the existing homes in order to reduce the length of time residents are impacted by construction activities.

Cash-strapped region needs foreign buyers’ tax: councillor feed" compared to what the foreign buyers’ tax would raise, Jones said. "This (foreign buyers’ tax) is a tax grab," he said. "Where is this money going to go, that the big question. That would solve a lot of our infrastructure problems in York Region if that money would stay in York Region." There is little chance the province will pass revenue from the tax along to municipalities, regional treasurer Bill Hughes speculated. Instead, councillors in York, and surrounding regions, should consider asking Queen’s Park for similar taxing powers as those granted to Toronto in 2006. Those include a land transfer tax, which could raise as much as $250 million a year for the region, and a vehicle registration

LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com Amid looming financial problems facing York Region, the provincial government should turn over funding from the new 15 per cent foreign home buyers’ tax to cash-strapped municipalities, Markham Coun. Jim Jones says. The tax will generate at least hundreds of millions of dollars in York alone, he calculated. "Where is the money going to go? The question should be to the province that whichever municipality generates the foreign buyers’ tax, (it) should stay there to develop the infrastructure," Jones said at the April 20 council meeting. The region is bringing in a new development charges bylaw next month, which will raise the fees on new

While Hughes said the region has made positive moves over the last few years to address financial challenges, such as reducing its debt and raising its water and wastewater rates, it is facing number of significant financial pressures. That includes much slower growth than anticipated, meaning the region only brought in half of the $2.2 billion in development charges that it had expected between 2012 and 2016, and higher than forecasted debt.

Plan a prudent first step toward housing affordability If the first step toward solving a problem is acknowledging you have one, then Ontario’s Liberal government deserves at least some credit for introducing policies aimed at trying to slow down southern Ontario’s runaway real estate market. Concerned about rising rents and skyrocketing house prices, Premier Kathleen Wynne unveiled her government’s Fair Housing Plan on April 20. It included 16 measures intended to help make housing more affordable, while improving market stability. Arguably, the most highly-touted move was the decision to follow Vancouver’s lead and introduce a 15-per-cent nonresident speculation tax that would apply to non-citizens, non-permanent residents and non-Canadian corporations buying one to six single family residential units in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Wynne stressed Ontario is a welcoming place for newcomers, adding the tax is intended to target speculators looking to make a quick buck. Other components of the plan include expanding rent control to cover all private rental units, not just those built prior to 1991, and potentially allowing municipalities to levy taxes on vacant homes within their borders. Additionally, the plan calls for the province to work with municipal governments to identify surplus lands that could be used to develop more affordable housing. The reaction to the Fair Housing Plan was mixed. Several economists came out in favour of the proposals, while the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario expressed disappointment with Wynne’s announcement. Toronto Mayor John Tory said he welcomed many of the ideas put forward and Ontario Real Estate Association CEO Tim Hudak said he was happy the government acted, adding something had to be done to address the issue of housing affordability. NDP leader Andrea Horwath feared the changes would be too little, too late. PC housing critic Ernie Hardeman cast doubt on the notion the tax will have the desired effect and blamed red tape for preventing the development industry from building the kinds of units required. Time will tell how these measures will affect the market but if nothing else, the province is taking reasonable steps to address the issue. Doing too much risks putting homeowners in the poorhouse, while inaction leaves too many Ontarians - young people especially - scarcely able to afford rent let alone a down payment given that home prices have skyrocketed at a time when wages are stagnant. The plan isn’t perfect and will likely require tweaking in the months and years ahead - but it’s a start.

• SAYING IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA •

A round-up of reaction online The story: Chinese Markham real estate flyers promote overseas buyers My question is how is the government going to track who is purchasing the house and where that person lives. Cash purchases are untrackable, all the foreign buyer needs is a representative that lives in Ontario to set up the deal. Remember a cash deal does not require a mortgage. Thankful however that this is probably the last nine inch nail in the McWynty Liberal’s coffin. Hopefully the Liberal lemmings in Toronto will now engage their brains before they tick a box on a ballot come next election, they may even remember that it was the Liberals who reduced their property values. Adam Werrell

The story: Wynne to slap 15 per cent tax on foreign real estate speculators It’s a good step in the right direction but I don’t think 15 per cent is a high enough number! Foreign investors are purchasing multiple million dollar homes ... I don’t think a 15 per cent tax will scare them off! Andrea Culley It’s a start. But you need to also regulate realtors’ commissions; cap builders gains on constructed land and so on ... To put it in perspective, this is like giving Advil to a patient waiting for knee replacement. It helps, but is not the final answer nor ultimate solution. Luis Allegretti

The story: Grocery store, Beer Store coming to Yonge and Green Lane Terrible!!!!!! Superstore (grocery and beer) and LCBO across the street. May as well put a tims on each corner as well. Probably tear down the house on the northwest corner and put up another gas station. Great planning!!!! Same planners as the ones that did Davis??? Bryan Parker

• LETTERS • Help keep the Inn open all year-round We wanted to publicly thank Bagel World on Yonge Street in Newmarket for providing bagels, free of charge, for the homeless at The Inn From The Cold throughout this winter season. Their generosity and concern for the clients that use the Inn regularly is amazing and so appreciated by all. Sadly the Inn closed recently for overnight stays, until November due to lack of funds provided by all levels of government, it is outrageous that we seem to be able to find billions of dollars for so many projects both needed and frivolous, both ridiculously wasteful and those that are warranted, but we cannot find $150,000 to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Surely a small portion of the massive budgets that our municipalities, provincial and federal governments run up, could be reallocated without any effect on the economic health of our country, but provide incredible comfort for those in need. The Inn makes a huge difference in the lives of every person who needs a warm place to stay overnight and to get a basic meal to sustain them for the next 24 hours. The Inn is manned by a small management team and close to 300 volunteers, who show up in all weathers and conditions so as not to let the clients down. If the governments cannot and will not assist the Inn, then maybe some corporate sponsorship by one or many companies could keep The Inn From The Cold open all year round. It should be easy in our wonderful country, but it isn’t. Please help. If you can, please contact The Inn. Adrienne and Paul Coleman Richmond Hill

Grandchildren will pay for province’s policies Re: Ontario eliminates Drive Clean Fees, tweaks program, April 13. The misleading headline "Ontario eliminates Drive Clean test fees" momentarily gave me admiration that wily Premier Kathleen Wynne had convinced mechanics to do the test for free. Not so. The cost has simply been shifted to the Ontario taxpayers. However, 13 years of the McGuinty/Wynne brain trust has left the province of Ontario penniless, so money must be borrowed to make these payments. Your headline should have read "Under new Liberal policy your Drive

Clean test will be charged to your grandchildren." Lee Eustace Sutton

Drive Clean a waste of time, money Re: Ontario eliminates Drive Clean Fees, tweaks program, April 13. It would have been more informative if Teresa Latchford had also presented some of the criticisms of the Drive Clean program and not just the government’s spin. Firstly, the Drive Clean Program was supposed to be ’revenue neutral’, however, it managed to gouge drivers to create a huge surplus. In a few months, the surplus in the Drive Clean fund will be used up, and the fees will have to be paid out of our taxes which is a cost for everybody whether hidden or not. Secondly, each year the emission reduction technology is improved by car manufacturers, so the number of failed emission tests has reduced to a negligible percentage. These ’failed’ stats are not valid because they include failures due to the improper set up of testing equipment or mistakes in the procedure. For instance, even new cars will fail if they had their battery drained or disconnected and they have not been driven 40 km to reset the car. The Drive Clean Program is a waste of time for drivers and a waste of money for taxpayers. When will our government stop wasting money in the interests of perception over substance?

Re: LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Open discourse needed on climate change, April 6. In John Himanen’s letter, he does get one thing correct: facts and evidence do matter. A scientific argument must be evidence based. The strange thing about his argument is that he then proceeds to ignore the overwhelming evidence for human-caused climate change. Understandably, it’s a complex and difficult topic to navigate in this ’post-truth’ era, but there are a number of both excellent and accessible resources on the topic.

that global warming is happening right now and that humans are causing it. There is no longer any debate within the scientific community. Yes, the climate has changed before as it reacts to whatever forces it to change at the time; right now humans are the dominant force. The scientific evidence is clear. Global warming is already having significant and costly effects. Sea level rise is accelerating. The number of large wildfires is growing. Dangerous heat waves are becoming more common. Extreme storm events are increasing in many areas. More severe droughts are occurring in others. Spring arrives much earlier than it used to - 10 days earlier on average in the northern hemisphere. The good news is that there is still time to change. We have the practical solutions at hand to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and pass on a healthier, safer world to future generations. The debate is over about whether or not climate change is real; it is now time to act to solve the problem. Laura Tipton Whitchurch-Stouffville

Study after study demonstrates that people who volunteer are happier, less stressed and more connected with their community than their non-volunteering counterparts. And according to those studies, the more hours volunteered, the happier they are!

The benefits of volunteering Improved general wellbeing: The positive feelings you get from helping others makes you feel better about yourself. The end result is improved overall health. Volunteering is especially important as you age as it keeps you active and engaged. Professionally: Just starting your career? Volunteering can be a huge boost to your network, help you develop your skills, build confidence and improve your leadership abilities. This network can also help you find a job. Already in the workforce? Volunteering can sharpen your skills, give you opportunities to develop new skills and can also enhance your profile and network opportunities. Retired or near retirement? Why let all that knowledge and experience go to waste? Studies show that seniors who volunteer have reduced stress-related illnesses, higher self-esteem and are less likely to feel isolated. These are all important components in healthy aging. For the community: Volunteering connects you with your community and, in doing so, helps build resilient, caring communities. Many nonprofit organizations would not exist without volunteer support.

Volunteering at LSRCA We rely on volunteers to help with our tree planting and other community-related events: LSRCA.on.ca/volunteer. If you feel you don’t have time to volunteer, consider that studies demonstrate volunteers actually feel they have more time when they volunteer. While it sounds paradoxical, the theory is that the time spent volunteering makes you feel like you’ve accomplished something useful and thus makes you feel more effective with your time. Still not convinced? Don’t underestimate the power of donating as a form of volunteerism. The Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation raises money to support our work. It is a registered charity and provide tax receipts for donations of $20 or more. Visit lakesimcoefoundation.ca. Susan Jagminas has been working with LSRCA for the past decade as a communications project manager, lead writer and media relations specialist. She is also an active volunteer in her community.

Grocery store coming to plaza SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com A new grocery store, Dollarama and Beer Store appear to be coming to the Lowe’s Plaza at the northwest corner of Yonge Street and Green Lane in East Gwillimbury. A staff report that outlined details for Phase 5 of the Fieldgate development as part of a site plan application. The phase includes four commercial units, the biggest of which is a 46,000square-foot grocery store. In the application, the buildings are located im-

mediately south of Lowe’s store. The site is currently unoccupied but the development of the plaza has been rapid in recent years with new commercial units coming every year. McDonald’s recently opened as well as an LCBO. The plaza is also where the town hosts the East Gwillimbury farmers market from late May to early October.

the current system. "What problem are we trying to solve?" he asked. For a lot of Mount Albert residents at the meeting the problem is very apparent to them. When longtime councillor and Mount Albert resident Cathy Morton ran for mayor and lost in 2014 it left the area without a resident on council. "I am from Mount Albert. We don’t feel we have councillor. I do support a ward system. We want someone from our area to represent us," Mary McIntosh said. Mount Albert resident Scott Crone was con-

cerned that the at large system would grow more inequitable as Holland Landing, Sharon and Queensville are set to grow prolifically in comparison to Mount Albert. "When you look at the last election three members of our council are from Holland Landing," he said. Some residents also thought a ward system was important because it would ensure that a councillor would have even greater stake in representing them. "A ward system would ensure a person who has a stake to our wants and desires," Mount Albert resident Shea Thompson said.

"Other areas outvoted us. It wasn’t because we didn’t (our representatives.) We got outvoted. That’s why a ward system is important." The distinct village cores in Queensville, Holland Landing, Sharon and Mount Albert would seem to best be served by a ward system, Christine Glenn said. "It’s important to have one person who has their eye on the ball in that community," she said. Terry Russell echoed that sentiment especially in regards to new communities. He sited woeful civic engagement in Harvest Hills as an example that the current system is fall-

ing short. "Each of these communities need their own champion and everyone else to be the backup band," he said. As for if council should add two more councillors if they stick with an at large system, reaction was mixed. Many residents spoke in support of growing the size of council as the population also spikes. "Now’s not the time to do things on the cheap," George Schrijver said. Not everybody was on board with that line of thinking. Howard said his taxes were high enough as it is and doesn’t see the need more representatives. The town hired consultants who conducted an electoral review last year. Consultants Andrew Sancton and Tim Cobban

delivered details of their final report to council last year. "It is clear from our consultations that a minority of citizens and stakeholders favour maintaining the status quo," the report stated. The consultants recommended council move to a ward system that would feature three wards; Holland Landing, Queensville-Sharon and Mount Albert-rural in the 2018 election with two councillors each. In the following election in 2022, there would be five wards as the Holland Landing and Queensville-Sharon wards would be split and the Mount Albert rural ward would remain intact. There was difficulty in drawing accurate ward boundaries that reflected population because East

Gwillimbury is expecting such a population boom in the coming years, Cobban said. Town staff responded to the consultants report earlier this year with a report of their own recommending East Gwillimbury not move to a ward system in 2018, but add two more atlarge councillors. Town clerk Fernando Lamanna said the preferred option of a ward system was confusing because boundaries had to change after one election. A ward system would be premature for the 2018 election, but Lamanna said council should re-evaluate the electoral system in preparation for the 2022 or 2026 elections. Council will make a decision on the electoral review later this spring.

Town honours volunteeers at appreciation night SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com What would places such as the Sharon Temple, East Gwillimbury Public Library and Blue Door Shelters look like without dedi-

cated volunteers? East Gwillimbury would certainly be a much different place. The town honoured the many people from Queensville to Mount Albert to Holland Landing and ev-

erywhere in between with a volunteer appreciation evening at the East Gwillimbury Sports Complex April 24. The event coincided with National Volunteer Week, which runs from April 23 to 29. National Vol-

My Mom Rocks Contest Nominate N i t Y Your M Mother th and you could win! Tell us what makes your mom rock. Send info to shemani@yrmg.com by May 4th to enter the contest and win a prize Winner will be announced May 11th

unteer Week is a time to thank and recognize Canada’s 12.7 million volunteers for the difference they make in our communities. The town relies on a whole host of volunteers to work on several advisory committees. For more information, visit eastgwillimbury.ca.

Learn to paint in 1 night with social art lesson AMANDA PERSICO apersico@yrmg.com Sometimes, all you need is a canvas, a paint brush and a stroke of genius to bring out your creative side. But the hustle-bustle of life doesn’t afford us the time to commit to a formal, lengthy art class. "Many people don’t want to be artists," Judy Horan, the Newmarket artist behind Art Circle - Social Painting. "They just want to create something." Art Circle specializes in social art events at local restaurants in Newmarket,

Aurora, Georgina and Bradford. Social painting is not an art lesson, it’s a social event where people learn a painting technique, paint a canvas and take something home, she added. Social painting events are taking the art scene by storm, where people are looking for something different than everyday life and work, said Kevin Chow, operations manager of Paintlounge, a studio space designated to one-off social painting events. Currently, there are three Paintlounge locations - one on Main Street Markham and two in Toronto.

Mike Barrett/Metroland

Above, Yasmin Lai Jon Ng (from right), Mariam Metyas and Kishan Aundhia follow instruction during a class at Paint Lounge in Markham. At Paint Lounge, people can re-connect with their creative side and no experience is necessary. Paint Lounge provides tools, paints, canvases and aprons as well as art instruction and cleanup. Below, Judy Horan is the owner and artist behind Art Circle - Social Art. It’s a space where patrons can sign up for weekly painting events in a social atmosphere with brushes, paints, canvas and aprons included. For more details, visit www.artcircle-socialart.ca. "This is a way for people to get back to their creative side, even if it’s just for a night," Chow said.

And there’s no experience necessary - and no cleanup. Many social painting events provide the tools

there it is. Creating art stepby-step makes it more doable and not so overwhelming." Social painting is also gaining in popularity as a team building exercise in the corporate world. Team building art takes on a different shape. There is a central theme and often the paintings fit in with one another, such as using the same colour pallet, painting the same scene in different seasons, painting one large canvas, or having each canvas make up a smaller part of a larger painting. With two campuses in Richmond Hill, hosting a social event for a good cause is great way to bring staff together, said Toronto Montessori School teacher Rachel Marks. Marks organized a social painting night tied to supporting 360 Kids, an organization dedicated to supporting homeless youth in York Region. "Aside from art teachers, most people are not that skilled, so it’s a real equalizing activity," Marks said.

- paint colours, brushes and canvases - as well as a painting lesson. "You don’t have to bring anything or worry about cleaning up," he said. "Just focus on being creative and having fun." For many, the first stroke is always the hardest. "Just start," Horan said. "You’re not painting a whole eight-by-12 (foot) wall. It’s a 16-by-20 (inch) canvas. The background is done first, with a large brush and large strokes. I’ve heard some people say they can’t draw a straight line without a ruler. Well, there are no straight lines in art. This is art, not drafting." Art can be daunting and intimidating, but the magic of social painting is everyone is learning the same strokes and techniques at the same time. "A lot of people look at a painting and say: ’I can never do that’," said Horan. "But once it’s broken down in a number of steps, into a process, they really can do that. Art is not just laid out on the canvas and

yorkregion.com

New HOV lanes coming to Markham, Vaughan New HOV lanes are coming to York Region. York regional council recently approved three new road sections for transit or high occupancy vehicles during peak times. “Dedicated lanes will encourage people to consider using tran-

sit or carpooling, reducing the number of single vehicles on the road,” said Regional Coun. Vito Spatafora, chairperson of the region’s transportation services. The new transit/HOV lanes are: • Hwy. 7, from Bowes Road to Jane Street, Vaughan;

• Hwy. 7, from Sciberras Road to Town Centre Boulevard, Markham; and • Major Mackenzie, from Hwy. 400 to Pine Valley Drive, Markham. For more information, visit york.ca

As part of the Ontario government’s commitment to reduce the health risks from West Nile virus in York Region, the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) will treat catch basins from May to October 2017. Larvicide will be applied to control the mosquito population.

Community Planning and Partnerships Public Meeting

The larvicide methoprene (Altosid Briquettes, Registration #27694 under the Pest Control Products Act, Canada) will be applied to catch basins on King’s Highways, MTO service centres, patrol yards, carpool lots and truck inspection stations. All larvicide will be applied by provincially licensed exterminators and trained technicians.

For all those who are potentially interested in a Facility Partnership with the York Catholic District School Board, please attend our Community Planning & Partnerships Public Meeting:

May 10, 2017, 1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. Catholic Education Centre 320 Bloomington Rd. W., Aurora, ON, L4G 0M1 RSVP to: 905-713-1211 ext. 12371

The Mustangs received wins in two events from senior Justin Graenert along with twins EJ and JT Boston at the midget age category to capture the overall team title at the York Region Athletic Association indoor track and field meet held Friday at York University.

Competing in the midget age groups, the Boston twins scored their wins in the 800 and 1,500 metres - JT in boys and EJ in the girls category. For Sacred Heart, Aiden John was a two-event winner as he won the 800 and 1,500 in the boys junior cate-

gory. Other double-event winners included Stephen Lewis Sharks’ Jazmyn Lewis who won the 60 (7.96 seconds) and 400 (59.9) in senior girls.

While intoeing is common in early childhood and often corrects itself, intoeing in later childhood is one that can persist into adulthood. While the child may not have any pain, intoeing can interfere with activity as the child may trip more or feel fatigued. Intoeing can gradually lead to muscle and joint pains in the feet and legs. It is important to determine the cause of the intoeing, whether it is at the level of the hips, thigh, lower leg or feet – in order to know the best course of treatment.

How often should I flush my fuel injectors? Once a year, when the under hood temperatures can reach 275-300 degrees after you shut your car off, the fuel can sometimes BOIL (212 degrees) in the fuel lines. This can cause a small amount of varnishy coating in the lines and at the injectors. Our customers notice the difference right away in drive-ability and in their increased fuel mileage.

Heating & Air Conditioning NANCY McKERAGHAN

When should I schedule my AC service? Many HVACR contractors will recommend “preseason” tune-ups at very reasonable rates. These are to be completed before the weather turns warm. Although it is possible to perform this service early in the spring, it requires special equipment (usually little tents that are set up overtop of the outdoor units to create a “warmer” environment). Most contractors do not have or use these tents. Early servicing without the tents can result in false readings since manufacturer’s do not have performance data at temperatures below 70 deg. F. Therefore, early servicing can lead to unsatisfactory performance of the equipment when the weather does actually become warm. The optimum time to have your central air conditioner serviced is once the temperature is over 70 deg F (21 deg C). You may contact your contractor to get on a waiting list for service when the weather turns warmer.

What is popular in cushioned, no-wax vinyl sheet flooring?

What’s the difference between a Part I and a Part III offence? For starters a Part I offence is called an offence notice (ticket) and has an out of court settlement (fine) on it, whereas a Part III is a “Summons” (has a date on which you must attend court to answer to the charge(s)). Part I matters require you to request a court date (if you want to challenge the ticket), they are often minor offences and the court penalty is kept at a minimum. Court penalties for Part III offences are more severe and can involve licence suspensions, jail time, heavy fines etc. Some examples of a Part III offence include; Drive without Insurance, Drive Under Suspension, Racing, Fail to Remain at Accident, Speeding over 50 km/h and over.

Today’s cushioned vinyl sheet flooring has never been better. Most floors feature a core with dimensional stability that enables them to be installed with a “release” adhesive (or no adhesive at all). The thicker constructions of these floors offer superior comfort underfoot and quietness. Cushioned no-wax vinyl sheet flooring comes in a variety of natural look stone and wood designs. Many floors feature one design available in multiple thicknesses. They are moisture resistant, easy to maintain, and feature up to 25 year warranties against wear, fade, stains, tears, and indentation.

OPINION

It’s all in the family for Redbirds, Saints JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com It’s all one big happy lacrosse family. An off-season completion of a transaction that saw the Newmarket Redbirds, a youth lacrosse organization, purchase the Newmarket Saints, creates a unified front for the sport locally. Actually, the outcome is the tying up of a few loose ends. With the season for both the minor and junior programs about to begin, an official link now exists between the programs, making the Saints an extension of the community-based youth program. On the verge of starting their 26th season, the Redbirds completed the purchase of the Ontario Junior B Lacrosse League franchise in July, after the 2016 season. It is a merging that makes sense from both practical and common sense viewpoints.

JOHN CUDMORE Cuddy Shark The purchase was spread over three years to pay out a group of original partners - lacrosse dads, primarily - who bought and brought the Saints to Newmarket from Scarborough prior to the 2008 season. It’s a win-win situation. The Redbirds minor program, which provides box and field lacrosse for girls and boys in Newmarket, Aurora, East Gwillimbury and surrounding communities, helps support and fund the Saints. The latter provides a competitive venue for many graduates of the Redbirds.

It is by no means a relationship unique to the Saints and Redbirds. Rather, a growing trend. In fact, approximately one-third of the 25 organizations in the OJBLL are in a similar relationships with their hometown youth organizations. "This offers the minors a chance to be a feeder for the juniors and keeps a solid program in play with the current boundaries and gives players a place to play locally," said Redbirds’ president Paul Schnabel. "In terms of how it benefits our minor program, we are looking to expand our relationship and have the junior players mentor our younger players. We will have them at our practices and help stimulate attendance at their games by marketing aggressively to the minor players. "We’re delighted with our affiliation and the Saints are comforted by knowing they have financial support by the Red-

bers and we have a very solid board." The next step would be bringing it all together under one brand name. Redbirds, with a quarter century of local presence, would be the obvious choice. "We have talked about it but I don’t think we will," said Vertolli. "I think it is better to have the Saints name and history. But it is up to the minor board." Schnabel said that is an issue that may be addressed down the road once other aspects of the relationship are settled. "We have talked about a name change, but it’s not a priority this year," said Schnabel.

birds." To be sure, the Saints have benefitted over their proximity for graduates of the Redbirds program at the Junior B level. Now, it’s official and a strengthened connection. "It gives the minors somewhere fo,r players to build toward and go," said Saints president and general manager Dan Vertolli, a former Redbirds board member, including director of player development and marketing. "It allows the relationship to be fluid. We felt if we got on the same page it would be an advantage." The Junior B team is to be operated by its own separate board. "The Redbirds view this as one of the best times in our history," said Schnabel, whose 600-member organization is one of the largest in the province. "We are stable with our registration numbers, while the rest of Ontario is down in num-

Roster outcome muffled Nobody is revealing details about the outcome, but the Canadian Junior Hockey League has dealt with the issue surrounding the Trenton Golden Hawks roster for the Ontario Junior Hockey League playoffs.

CJHL president Brent Ladds confirmed his board addressed the situation, but did not disclose whether a penalty had been levied upon the Golden Hawks or the OJHL. "We don’t make public our internal decisions," said Ladds. "Our board dealt with an appeal of the decision to its satisfaction." You will recall that the issue regarding an illegal roster submitted by the Golden Hawks at the Jan. 10 deadline came to light during an opening round playoff series against the Newmarket Hurricanes. Ladds suggested the issue was a matter of interpretation fueled at least in part by roster rules that vary between Hockey Canada and its junior partners. Perhaps a clue to the outcome will be revealed if there is a change in the roster policy coming out of the CJHL’s annual general meeting in May. Chances are that will be the case.

Youthful lacrosse Saints look to rebound in 2017 record. It was the worst record compiled by a Saints team since moving to Newmarket for the 2008 season. It was the fourth straight sub-.500 season for the Saints and the second time in three years the team missed the league playoffs. The light at the end of the tunnel may be another season away as the 2017 season rapidly approaches. In the meantime the Saints’ new general manager, Dan Vertolli, is hoping the learning process is one that

JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com It figured to be a tough haul for the Newmarket Saints in 2016 to play with a roster saturated with youth and inexperience at the junior level. Learning to grow, however, might be a motto to follow for the 2017 season. A youthful squad last season took its lumps in the Ontario Jr. B Lacrosse League’s Mid-East standings, finishing with a 5-15

is accelerated with another year of experience for a team whose core is comprised of players from successful Newmarket Redbirds’ midget teams in 2014 and 2015. The turnaround starts behind the bench where Scott Fitchett and his staff start a second season. "We spent a lot of 2016 getting the back end going and bringing in a new coaching staff," said Vertolli, a longtime part of the youth and junior programs,

by the advancement of the several top producers offensively from one season ago, including 91-point (43 goals) marksman Jordan Nanos. "We’re trying to get a lot faster on offence and add the grit we didn’t have in the past," said Vertolli. "We’ve had a lot of outside shooters and have been somewhat successful. But we don’t have those guys now. Rather than one or two of those guys, we want five of the other."

who takes over as general manager. "We will rebuild this year with a lot of talented players. "I think our third year players are our strength. We hope to get to the top level of their experience next year. "Our goal should be making the playoffs every year but within two to three years we want to be in the deeper rounds." Despite lots of returning faces, the Saints will be pushed to fill the void left

The Mid-East Division, as always, falls into line behind the Clarington-based Green Gaels. The remainder of the division - the Saints, Orillia Kings and West Durham (formerly Markham) Ironheads - will scramble for inclusion among the East Conference’s eight playoff spots. The Saints open their 20game regular season April 30 as the Mississauga Tomahawks visit the Ray Twinney Complex. Game time is 2 p.m.
