BUSINESS

Good cider at core of couple’s business SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com Chances are you know where Steve Faris grew up. A dairy farmer by birth, Faris grew up on the northwest corner of Yonge and Green Lane in East Gwillimbury. The area was much different back then. SilverCity? That’s where Faris remembers first driving a tractor by himself at five years old. "My mom was not impressed," he said. Faris milked cows on the farm until 2008 when his father, Dalt, finally sold the operation as growth in the Newmarket area intensified. Now Faris and his wife Michelle have started hawking a new beverage of choice: cider. The couple, who share the same birthday, first started thinking about cider after visiting Normandy a few years ago and sam-

pling some of the different European options. They let the idea ferment for a few years before starting Ernest Cider last year. The response to aged-alcoholic ciders has been tremendous. "It’s gaining popularity at a rapid clip. A lot of people haven’t tasted cider before," Michelle said. And while the popularity of ciders has grown alongside the popularity of craft beer in recent years, cider makers do face a significant hurdle that their beer brethren don’t have to worry about. In Ontario, you can’t sell your cider in a taproom unless you have five acres of apple trees in the ground on site, Steve said. At their current location on Industrial Parkway in Aurora, that is simply not possible. In their cidery, big vats of fruit sit fermenting. At

Ernest, Steve says they ferment their cider for a relatively lengthy three-month period. "Ernest is just a touch dryer than mainstream cider," Michelle said. The ingredients in cider are relatively simple. Fruit juice, yeast, sugar and honey. The couple tries to keep everything Ontario sourced. The apples come from across the province, the honey comes from Martin Sweet Farm in Campbellville, the cranberries from Bala and the cherries from the Niagara area. The vast majority of their business is at the LCBO where they sell Ernest Cider Dry and Ernest Cider Rubee, which features cranberries and cherries. The couple is also launching a seasonal festive cider for Christmas time that features aromatics like cloves and cardamom.

While you can always find their products at the LCBO, Michelle said they also have their product featured in 50 bars and restaurants across the Greater Toronto Area. They do a lot of one-off products for restaurants which gives them a nice change of pace. "We enjoy experimenting," Steve said. The couple also has a nice partnership as Steve handles the cidery arm of the business while Michelle handles the marketing. She had a previous experience in marketing with a large Ontario brewery. "It’s fun to create a brand from scratch," she said. Long-term, the couple wants to set up their cidery on a farm with their own apple trees and bees. "I love farming," Steve said.

The Town is undertaking a Secondary Plan process to create the detailed planning framework and identify land uses to guide future development of the Green Lane Corridor from west of Yonge Street, to Leslie Street. In May 2017, the public had an opportunity to provide input on the proposed project principles and preliminary land use concepts. Input from that session has been considered in the development of a Preferred Land Use Plan for the Green Lane Corridor. A third Public Open House will be held to provide an opportunity for residents and interested stakeholders to provide input on the proposed Preferred Land Use Plan before Council considers a recommendation from the project team. The meeting will include a short presentation at 6:20 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, Planning Branch. Additional information is available at www.eastgwillimbury.ca/planningapplications.

The policy ensures that new development does not contribute any phosphorus to rivers, creeks, streams, and Lake Simcoe. If zero-phosphorus can’t be achieved through Low Impact Development techniques and stormwater management best practices, then a project to offset the amount of phosphorus being discharged, must be undertaken elsewhere in the watershed. Offset projects will be funded by the developer and implemented in collaboration with LSRCA, meeting a phosphorus offset ratio of 2.5 to 1. That means for every kilogram of phosphorus discharged from a new development site, 2.5 kilograms will be diverted through an offset project. Offset projects can include conventional stormwater controls like constructed wetlands and wet ponds and low impact development best management practices including bio-filters, infiltration galleries, water harvesting and reuse. To read the Phosphorus Offset Policy visit LSRCA.on.ca and click on Watershed health and Phosphorus Offsetting Program, or call 905-895-1281 for more information.

THE BAHÁ’ÍS CELEBRATE A HISTORIC BICENTENARY Join in the festivities at the upcoming free public event in Newmarket

This October, the Bahá’í community is holding celebratory events worldwide to recognize the 200th anniversary of the birth of their esteemed founder, and Divine Educator, Bahá’u’lláh. The Bahá’í faith, founded in 1844 and practiced in Canada since 1898, is based on Bahá’u’IIáh’s teachings, that humanity is one single race and should be unified as a peaceful, global society, with spiritual and material prosperity. Born in Persia in 1817, Bahá’u’IIáh, meaning “Glory of God”, was known as a man of great kindness and generosity. During his lifetime he was imprisoned, tortured, and exiled for his support of the Bábí movement and his own teachings. Bahá’u’IIáh, the perfect Educator who brought light to the world, left behind a legacy of sacred words. Deep in the ocean of His words are discovered the laws and moral imperatives to liberate the human spirit from the tyranny of worldly instincts, unworthy of its true calling. Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings testify to the nobility of the human spirit, the oneness of the human family, the equality of women and men, and individual rights and social responsibilities. Today, millions of Bahá’ís around the globe strive to fulfill Bahá’u’lláh’s words “let your vision be world embracing” and believe that every individual has a role to play in achieving a tranquil, successful, and unified society through service and character. In honour of Bahá’u’IIáh, the Newmarket Bahá’í community is hosting a bicentennial celebration, open to the public. Drop by the Old Town Hall on Saturday, October 21, for an informal Open House from 6:30 - 7:30 pm, followed by live music, refreshments, an address by Deputy Mayor John Taylor, and special guest speaker, Terry Spratt.

On Sunday September 24, 2017, local Bahá’í s and their friends joined 50,000 people of all backgrounds at the 2017 Walk for Reconciliation in Vancouver.

EDITORIAL | OPINION

ABOUT US

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

Take Back the Night should be advertised I attended the annual York Region Take Back the Night event on the evening of Sept. 21. I was surprised to note that it wasn’t advertised on the Town of Newmarket’s Fall Events sandwich board, which is located in Riverwalk Commons, by the Lions Hall. Considering the next Take Back the Night will reach a milestone at the 20th Annual Take Back the Night Rally and March, and that it promotes both business and awareness, it is my opinion that it should finally be advertised by the town.

Decision on Mount Albert traffic light deferred

.COM

SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com The traffic lights aren’t coming to the corner of Mount Albert Road and Centre Street yet. Regional council deferred their decision to build traffic lights at the intersection after residents in Mount Albert raised concerns about the safety impact. The region is arranging meeting with residents and are deferring the matter until other options are considered. The move comes after East Gwillimbury council passed a motion Sept. 19 asking the region to defer the decision on the traffic signal to permit alternatives to be considered and time for further public engagement. A group of residents voiced their displeasure about the region’s plan to build a light at the intersection earlier this month. Their concerns ranged from making the hill more dangerous in bad weather to the light doing nothing to stop speeders. "I cannot imagine a school bus having to stop on that hill in good weather, let alone in rain or snow. Please reconsider this choice," Rebecca Doner said.

Susie Kockerscheidt/Metroland

Doug Willitts (front), along with other Mount Albert residents, stand where a traffic light has been proposed at the intersection of Mount Albert Road and Centre Street. They believe the light will make the intersection more hazardous rather than improve safety. Earlier in the month, York Region manager of corridor control and safety Nelson Costa said the region was still planning to install a light at the intersection this fall. "A consultant was retained to review the intersection and the recommendation to address the poor sight distance and pedestrian safety was to install a traffic control signal," he said.

Firehouse Subs opens up at Lowe’s Plaza

SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com The newest restaurant in East Gwillimbury has a distinctly local flavour. While the Firehouse Subs franchise originated in the United States, you wouldn’t be able to tell from the restaurant’s décor.

Van hits school bus carrying children LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com A van ended up in a field after striking a school bus carrying children just north of Newmarket Tuesday morning, York Regional Police Const. Andy Pattenden said. No children were hurt

but the driver of the other vehicle suffered injuries, he said. A small school bus was hit by a van on Yonge Street, north of Green Lane, in Holland Landing in East Gwillimbury at about 7:30 a.m. Oct. 10, Pattenden said. The van carried on and

wound up in a field, Pattenden said. The children on the school bus weren’t hurt, but the driver of the van was taken to hospital with unknown injuries, he said. Police are continuing to investigate the collision, Pattenden said.

Hospital names new president LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com Southlake Regional Health Centre has a new president. Arden Krystal, who began her career as a nurse in medical and surgical oncology and moved on to executive health care roles, was named to her new job on Oct. 10. "Since 2008, Arden has held senior executive roles in two of the largest health regions in Canada: the Fraser Health Authority (FHA) and

the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) in British Columbia," the hospital said in a statement, adding Krystal was appointed after a Canada-wide search. "In those roles, she was responsible for leading thousands of staff and physicians, improving and sustaining quality of care and overseeing financial stewardship of budgets totalling over $1 billion." Krystal holds several credentials, including a certificate in managing health care

delivery from the Harvard Business School, a certificate in managing hospital operations from the Institute for Health Improvement and a master of health administration from the University of British Columbia. Southlake praised her expertise in operations leadership, her focus on energizing people and improving patient and employee experiences and her ability in overseeing large, complex organizations. Krystal replaces retiring president Dr. Dave Williams.

COMMUNITY

LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com The Market Brewing Company is raising a glass to the Newmarket Food Pantry. The Leslie Street company began brewing a special batch of suds on Oct. 5, to be sold throughout November. Profit from sales of brew, called Three Jars Belgian Table Beer, which reflects the three jars of the pantry’s logo, will be donated to the food bank. "The core value of Market Brewing is to support the community that we live in so we want to be partnered with as many local charities as we possibly can," said president Shane

McCarthy, who hopes to raise $5,000 for the food bank. "The need for food and proper nourishment is something that is growing, especially here in York Region." The pantry helps feed about 1,000 people a month, a 20 per cent increase over the last five years, Kirk Bowden, the pantry board’s vice-chair, said. The project will raise money and awareness of hunger in the community, he said. "It’s a fantastic idea. Partnering up with businesses in the community and individuals is how we keep our doors open and our lights on being able to

keep our shelves full to feed our clients," he said. "The food pantry never did fundraising before for money, it was always about food. But since last September, we moved location to a much bigger facility (at 1251 Gorham St.) so we needed to come up with more money to sustain our operations. The need is always growing. People need to realize people who come into the food pantry could be your neighbours, you just don’t know." Market Brewing is making 1,500 litres, about 3.000 cans, of Three Jars, which McCarthy described "a light, easy drinking beer." It will be available at Market Brewery’s restau-

rant for about $7 a can, with $4 of that donated to the food bank, and to take home for $3 a can, with $2 of that going to the pantry. It will also be sold on site at the Olde Village Freehouse, the Sociable Pub, Cachet, Ground Burger Bar and SnackMrkt have confirmed they will sell the beer. At least $1 from each sale will go to the food bank.

York Region household income jumps 17 per cent: census LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com The median household income in York Region has shot up almost 17 per cent in the last decade, putting the region in second place in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, new Canada census numbers show. The median household income was $95,776 in 2016, a 16.9 per cent increase over 2006, according to a regional planning report on the 2016 census. Halton Region comes in first, with a median household income of $103,009, the only community above $100,000. More than a quarter of York households have an income over $150,000 and five of the region’s nine municipalities are in the top 20 for highest incomes in Ontario.

King came in second with a median household income of $118,309, behind East Garafraxa west of Orangeville, at $$118,613. Aurora is 10th with a median household income of $106,708, followed by Vaughan in 14th place at $105,351, East Gwillimbury in 17th place at $104,716 and Whitchurch-Stouffville in 19th place at $102,997. Taking a look regionwide, in Georgina, the median household income is $81,695, a 24 per cent increase since 2006. In East Gwillimbury it is $104,716, up 19.1 per cent; in Newmarket it is $95,589, up 17.1 per cent increase; in King it is $118,309, up 28.9 per cent; in Aurora it is $106,708, up 19.7 per cent increase; in WhitchurchStouffville it is $102,997, up 19.3 per cent; in Richmond Hill it is $88,353, up 11.9 per

cent; in Vaughan it is $105,351, up 21.6 per cent; and in Markham it is $89,028, up 11.4 per cent. Surprisingly, York Region’s median individual income is $32,994, an increase of 14.4 per cent since 2006, lower than Ontario’s $33,539, an increase of 23 per cent, and Canada’s $34,204, an increase of 33.5 per cent. Since 2006, the consumer price index has grown faster than York’s median household, individual and employment income, meaning the price of goods is going up faster than people’s income to pay for them. The index went up 20.2 per cent between 2006 and 2016, while York’s household income went up 16.9 per cent, individual income went up 14.4 per cent and employment income went up 11.6 per cent.

FORD MUSTANG GT: THE ORIGINAL PONY CAR FIRST DRIVE

Metroland Media “What’s the matter? Don’t you like GTs?” the kid asked. I had picked up the key to my new ride, scoped out the car and returned to the fleet office, waving the fob. “Pretty sure I booked an EcoBoost,” I told the staff. That’s when the kid asked that question. I wasn’t sure who the kid was, maybe some blogger quick to pipe up and convinced his opinions would shape the destiny of the automotive world. But I did know I had pants older than him, and was about a thousand test cars past the point of trying to impress cronies with a hot car. “Not sure my gas card likes GTs,” I answered him, considering the fuel demands of a V8 versus a turbo four. But the Mustang EcoBoost model had been retired from the press fleet, so they told me. Hence the GT. Well, if you need to resign yourself to a change in plan, a GT makes for a pretty good substitution - sort of like setting out for a date with Roseanne and finding Charlize smiling at the door instead.

Hyundai has announced a Rear Occupant Alert system. The system monitors the rear seats using an ultrasonic sensor that helps to detect the movements of children. The system first reminds drivers to check the rear seats when exiting the vehicle with a message on the center instrument cluster display. If the system detects movement in the rear seats after the driver leaves the vehicle it will honk the horn, flash the lights and send a Blue

Link alert to the driver’s smartphone via Hyundai’s Blue Link connected car system. In addition to being forgotten in the car, tragedies have also occurred in cases where children accidentally lock themselves in a car. To prevent issues like these, the rear occupant alert technology will be adopted in future 2019 model year Hyundai vehicles. Experts say it only takes a matter of minutes before the heat can overwhelm a child’s ability to regulate his or her internal temperature. Their core temperature can increase three to five times faster than that of an adult.

Honda shows electric concept at Tokyo Metroland Media Hyundai has announced a Rear Occupant AleHonda will unveil an all-new electric sports car, the Sports EV Concept, at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show later this month. It is part of a broad range of advanced twoand four-wheeled production and concept vehicles. Other highlights being showcased by Honda are the Urban EV Concept – revealed to an overwhelmingly positive response at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. There will also be a range of Super Cub motorcycle models celebrating its 60 years anniversary and 100 million units production after the original introduction. The Sports EV Concept development team designed the sporty electric car to deliver a feeling of joy and emotional unity to the drive,

achieved by efficiently combining the EV power unit and AI technology in a compact body shape. The Urban EV Concept will make its first appearance in Japan. Based on a newly developed electric vehicle platform, its simple design and compact proportions are ideal for modern city driving. A communicative front grille displays battery charge status, driving advice and greetings in multiple languages, while the wrap-around interior display conveys a friendliness

New Mustang boasts sophisticated handling

above The original fighter plane toggle-switched inspiration carries on inside the sporty Mustang GT, available with all the latest amenities and driver-assist technologies. right The GT’s fastback coupe lines boast streamlined aerodynamics enhanced with tri-bar taillights and classic Mustang cues. but one that you can live with every day. Although this as-tested GT carries over relatively unchanged for 2017, we can expect significant upgrades in the 2018 Mustang models coming to dealers this fall. A mid-cycle refresh will deliver leaner, meaner exterior design changes with new all-LED lighting, a new customizable 12-inch LCD instrument cluster, new apps, new engine power tweaks and a new 10-speed au-

tomatic transmission, exhaust note control, suspension modifications all round and a new optional MagneRide system, Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, new colours, new wheels, even a new key fob. I can hardly wait. Hopefully, I’ll be able to try out a new 2018 Mustang soon and, if I’m lucky, it’ll be a GT. Because, as it turns out, I seem to like GTs just fine.

As tested here, the 2017 Mustang GT shimmered seductively in a nice shade of Lightning Blue, its sleek lines paying tribute to the past with requisite Mustang cues. These include the return of the fastback profile, the short rear deck, the tri-bar taillight design also reflected in headlight tri-bar accents up front, the stretched-out hood and sharp, shark-bite nose, the trapezoidal grille - all those elements combined with an attentionto-detail philosophy blending tradition and new tech perfectly. Those same qualities are reflected inside the toggle-switched, fighter-inspired cockpit. But, frankly, the interior details begin to blur as you stab the starter and fire up the GT’s V8, the throaty engine and exhaust snarl overcoming your senses with sheer muscular bravado. It’s an engine note that never gets old, the rumble, spit and snarl of get-up-and-go stir-

ring your adrenaline and pasting a smile on your face. It was enough to make me forget any gas card worries. And the pump penalty didn’t turn out too onerous after all, with my mixed driving bag averaging 12L/100km (comb), well within range of the GT 6AT’s 15.6/9.6L/100km (city/hwy) rating. I must admit however, that the kid wasn’t that far off with his question. I’ve never been a huge fan of any Mustang. Road tests, track tests, no matter what the improvements over the years, the traditional old Fairlane-derived live-axle rear end always seemed to be the fly in the performance ointment for me, making awkward ride and handling the big “but” of any review. Which is why this sixth-generation version’s most important upgrade has to be its front and rear suspension systems - a new double-balljoint MacPherson strut combo up front and, finally, the integral-link independent rear suspension (IRS) that this thoroughly modern Mustang deserves. Drags strip diva no more. Even in GT trim, the improved ride and handling carves out corners and makes this a Mustang for any occasion, strong yet surprisingly sophisticated - a car that not only stirs the soul

Polestar, the performance brand of Volvo Cars, has introduced the latest generation powertrain optimization for the new Volvo XC60. With the Polestar enhancement, the new Volvo XC60 T8 delivers 421 hp, matching the optimized XC90 T8 as the most powerful Volvo models ever built. The Polestar optimization improves five key areas of the powertrain while retaining the Volvo warranty and a pure electric range of 45 km for the T8. Experience from more than two decades on the track with Cyan Racing, the motorsport partner of Polestar, has transformed the engine performance, throttle response, off-throttle response, gearshift speed and hold, taking the

XC60 to a new level of driving pleasure. Two key features of the optimization are the improved engine performance and gearbox functionality. The enhancements for the engine are made to provide greater power and torque in the midrange of the engine, the area most often used in everyday-driving, for example when joining a highway, overtaking or exiting a corner. The gearbox shifts faster, gearshift points have been calibrated to utilize the optimized mid-range engine performance, and the gearhold function maintains the same gear when cornering with high lateral g-force in order to avoid unsettling the balance of the car. A total of five XC60 models are available for Polestar optimization, including the T8, T6, T5, D5 and D4.

Dance event raises money for children with disabilities LAURA FINNEY lfinney@yrmg.com On Oct. 5 eight local residents danced for a good cause. For the past several weeks, they have been working with three dance instructors, Anastasia Trutneva, Kelly Stacey and Patrick Derry from Artistica Ballroom Dance Studio, to prepare for the third annual Dancing with Easter

Seals Stars Newmarket/ Aurora. "We are firm believers that everybody is a dancer on the inside," said Derry. "It’s just our job to bring it out." The fundraising event for Easter Seals was mirrored after Dancing with the Stars TV show and took place at the Venetian Banquet and Hospitality Centre in Vaughan. This year the featured

dancers were Brian Johns, partner at Vince’s Market; Ingrid Kulbach, founder of Fraktals; Kevin Murdoch wealth adviser and senior partner at The Murdoch Group of RBC Dominion Securities; Melanie Bell, coowner and publisher of Snapd Aurora; Sarid Layton, sales leader at Treefrog Inc.; Susie Strom, sales representative at Royal LePage RCR Realty; Stewart McLaren, president of Almac In-

dustrial Systems; and Jimmy Brennan, former Toronto FC Player. "Our professionals are leading people in your community that really have stepped out of probably their comfort level," said Charlene Myke, development manager with Easter Seals Ontario. The volunteer dancers had to learn choreographed dances, complete with costumes, lights and fog effects.

188 golfers participated in the Newmarket Mayor’s Golf Classic. It was a great day at Cardinal Golf Club!

Mayor Tony Van Bynen and the Golf Committee send a special thanks to all sponsors and participants for their support! The Newmarket Mayor’s Golf Classic is run by a volunteer committee of local business people. Since 2007, approximately $485,400.00 has been disbursed to local youth and agencies. As a result of the generosity of our sponsors and participants, the committee has provided grants to 5 local high school students (residents of Newmarket) who are pursuing post secondary education. The Golf Committee, through it’s Activity Fund, helps children pursue their interests.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Next year’s tournament will be September 13, 2018 at Cardinal Golf Club!

Tending to our sorrow for 175 years KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com They have seen us in the best of times and the worst of times. We have wept in their presence and shouted angrily at the gods and they, in turn, have offered us comfort and guidance. Now the Playter family wants us to join them in celebration. The Players will open the doors to their family business, Roadhouse and Rose Funeral Home, on Nov. 5. They hope that by holding a public cocktail party to share the stories of 175 years in Newmarket, they can let others know this is more than just a venue for those who grieve. Wes Playter grew up with the business, following in the heels of his father and great-uncle before him, and now his daughter Millicent happily toddles among the urns and caskets - someday, maybe, carrying on the family business herself. The soft ticking of Samuel Roadhouse’s old hallway clock marks the passing of time as Wes and his wife Juliana share their insight into the business of death and dying. Q: What were funerals like in York Region when Samuel Roadhouse first set up shop? A: When Samuel Roadhouse first built the business, funerals focused on the physical needs of dealing with the family and deceased. Most visitations and wakes would be in houses, most funerals were in churches and most interments and burials in cemeteries. So when a person passed away, you wouldn’t just build the coffin but also have the ability to lay them to rest, take care of embalming, set them up in the church and have livery stables to provide transportation to the cemetery. Q: In what ways have we changed our approach to dying? A: People gradually lost their connection to church, so in 1930 Roadhouse and Rose built a chapel, and as fewer homes had the

space, wide door openings for caskets, we added "slumber rooms" - now called visitation rooms - for viewings or wakes. Now Newmarket has an 80 per cent cremation rate, so no longer are funeral homes transporting most of the deceased to cemeteries for burial. Instead, we are focusing more on the logistical arrangements with the crematorium. That’s why you don’t see the long processions anymore, the kind that used block traffic, draw attention and require police escorts. Q: How has diversity impacted death and dying in York Region? A: South of Steeles Avenue, a lot of the cultural groups are large enough to have their own funeral homes devoted to their faith group. In York Region, staff has to be knowledgeable about the various customs. The Orthodox, for

example, have the expected icons and the traditional crucifix. With Muslims, we work with timing issues because they want burial same day, while Sikhs are always cremated. There’s a lot more personalization now. Funerals used to be focused on a person’s passing. Today there’s more celebration of life, more focus on the actual person as opposed to the fact that they’ve passed away. A lot don’t have a casket or even an urn, but maybe there’s Grampa’s fishing rod or tackle box and music that that person enjoyed. Q: What does dealing with death teach you about life? A: It teaches you to be kind to everyone because you never know when the next time you’ll see or speak to them again. You don’t know what tomorrow brings and you don’t know what people are going through.

Muskoka resident Shelley Raymond fought to create this shared ownership home in Bracebridge for her dad and other seniors. She owns a company called Solterra Co-housing and plans to open more shared ownership homes to meet the needs of a growing number of seniors.

Seniors housing crisis looms Municipalities and community residents shouldn’t wait for the province to take a lead. Solutions will be found in grassroots initiatives: urban planner SARA CARSON scarson@simcoe.com announced what we were doing I could do it legally, all I had to do was convince others. That was problematic," Raymond said. She won the legal challenges at a huge cost, but her goal was never just one house. "I knew we could do it across Canada. If I was having those problems 10 years ago, I knew the numbers would increase substantially as we moved

forward," Raymond said. Demand for shared home ownership is picking up substantially. Raymond helped create co-housing projects in Brechin, Port Perry, and Guelph. Solterra Co-housing Ltd. just put an offer on a house in Barrie. Shared home ownership is one solution. We need a variety of housing options and models to ensure baby boomers can

was born. Raymond has a background in real estate, her husband is a talented carpenter, and her dad was a top planner in Canada. They renovated the Bracebridge home and four seniors moved in, splitting ownership between them. But it wasn’t over. The plan sparked an uphill battle with the municipality, planners, lawyers and retirement homes. "I was pretty sure when I

fund their own retirement. This will require innovation, planning, and bylaw and zoning changes. In this series, Metroland examines four options: cohousing with a stranger, cohousing with family, retiring up north in Elliot Lake and renovating your home to add accessible features with help from government grants. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) released a policy discussion paper in 2016 to recognize that the municipal sector is at the forefront of developing age-friendly communities, including affordable housing. Michael Jacek, a senior policy adviser, said AMO hasn’t come up with specific recommendations like shared home ownership, or co-housing. And they haven’t discussed bylaw and policy changes that may be required. "We’ve been operating more at a high-level to encourage people to do the age-friendly community planning. Creative solutions like that may be the result of some of these community plans," Jacek said. Urban planner John Lewis, an associate professor with the University of Waterloo’s school of planning, said there are municipalities, developers, and community groups facing the wave head on. He helped develop the province’s age-friendly planning guide. Lewis said top developers are leading the way with innovative housing solutions. "Once they have proven the market potential for that kind of housing stock, then generally the rest of the developers will follow suit," he said. Lewis said municipalities and community residents shouldn’t wait for the province to take a lead. Solutions will be found in grassroots initiatives, like Solterra Co-housing Ltd. "The feet on the ground literally consists of people who are residents of the communities driving these initiatives forward," Lewis said.

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

Four alternative housing options for Ontario seniors

yorkregion.com

Metroland Media explored four housing options for seniors: co-housing with a stranger, co-housing with family, retiring in Elliot Lake and renovating to add accessible features with help from government grants. 1. GO NORTH When Barrie’s Annamarie Sugar and her husband, Don Ough, began searching for a place to enjoy retirement, they wanted a small, quiet community with affordable housing costs. The hunt took them to Elliot Lake between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie "Barrie was a nice small town when we moved there," Sugar said. "Now, it’s just too big, too noisy, too many people." Sugar and her husband aren’t alone in choosing the community, thanks to a marketing campaign aimed at attracting retirees. Read more at tinyurl.com/seniorstsunaminorth. 2. FULL HOUSE For 25 years, as he and his wife, Donna, were raising their three children, Matthew Penstone’s widowed mother-in-law, Alice, lived with the family. And then Penstone’s father, George, also moved into the family’s Aurora home.

WHAT’S YOUR PLAN? Will you age in place, or downsize? Top questions to consider. Read more at tinyurl.com/ seniorstsunamiplan. Six years ago, Penstone’s daughter, Corrine, asked if she and her partner, Steven Gagnon, could move in to save money for a home. They also revealed they were expecting twins. The boys grew up in their grandparents’ house before the family moved to their own home. While there are challenges to having a multigenerational household, Penstone said the benefits have far outweighed the adjustments for his family. Read more at tinyurl.com/seniorstsunamimultigenhome. 3. OPEN YOUR DOORS Halton is taking an innovative approach to helping their aging population stay in their homes while also avoiding the social isolation that can come with growing old. Halton Region, in partnership with Halton Housing Help and the Burlington Age-Friendly Council, offers the Halton HomeShare program matches people who have a place to live, mostly seniors, with those

looking for housing. Discussions around housing and how it relates to seniors tended to focus on how a number of their aging residents wished to stay in their homes but were finding it difficult to maintain them without help.

In their 40s, the couple is working with Ronny Wiskin, a specialist in home renovation for accessibility, through the Toronto-based Med+ Home Healthcare company. The company assists homeowners to modify environments using universal design principles - a seven-point checklist that balances esthetics and comfort with accessibility for people who might be confined to a wheelchair, or have other mobility issues. "It’s the design of products and environments that are usable by people of all abilities," Wiskin said. Read more at tinyurl.com/seniorstsunamiaccessible.

Dancer shines in new Cirque du Soleil show LAURA FINNEY lfinney@yrmg.com

Patrice Lamoureux photo

Joey Arrigo as the character Waz in Cirque du Soleil’s production Volta with costumes by Zaldy.

Newmarket native Joey Arrigo is making a lasting impression with Cirque du Soleil. The 25-year-old is not only the leading character Waz in their newest show Volta, but he helped develop it as well. "It was really interesting to be a part of the creation of this show, rather than just stepping into a role," he said. "It was a really great opportunity to work with the brilliant minds that create the Cirque du Soleil shows." Volta tells a story about the freedom to choose one’s own path. Waz is a celebrity who hosts a game show where middle class people, or Greys, compete to become part of the Elites. But he has a secret. "He grew up with blue feathers as hair," explained Arrigo, adding the character was ridiculed about it, so he covered it with a crown. "What Waz realizes is he is classifying everybody on their differences when all he really wants is to be accepted." Waz later meets the Free Spirits. "They know all about self-acceptance and self-

love," said Arrigo. He said the character does have parallels with his own life, but the show also has a message that can resonate with anybody. "When I started exploring the role of Waz, I had to dig deep into myself and consider certain things about myself," said Arrigo, adding that it all tied into the Volta’s message. "We all have things about ourselves that we were maybe once insecure about," he said. "But those are the things that make us different, those are the things that make us original, and those are the things that make us unique." This is the second Cirque Thanks for Choosing Us As A Reader’s Choice Winner!

A few weeks ago, Arrigo’s career came full circle. He taught a class at York Dance Academy where he used to dance. "It was so nice to have a former student come back after all these years and to have him share his passion and talent with our dancers," said Angela Tucker, artistic director and owner of the academy. "I still remember the young four-year-old who had so much energy and passion for dance. He’s now turned into an adult with the same energy and passion." Volta will be showing in Toronto until Nov. 26. For tickets, visit cirquedusoleil.com/volta.

du Soleil show Arrigo has been part of. He played a trickster in Kooza. He said he wanted to be part of the company since he was young. He used to watch one of their first shows, Nouvelle Experience. "There was something about it, something so magical," he said. One of the characters was a clown played by David Shiner. Years later, when Arrigo was in Kooza, he met Shiner, who was the creator of the show. "It was a full circle," he said. "The guy who I watched in my living room, inspired me to be in the company, now I’m leading in his show."

7 Signs You’re a Good Candidate for Senior Living

Ask yourself these questions to see if premium senior living at Amica is a good ﬁt for you

Don’t worry that you’ll lose your green thumb, though: some residents like to help with light gardening.

Do you like your privacy? Amica residences are condo-like settings where all residents have their own studio, one-bedroom or two-bedroom suites with your own bathroom.

Do you enjoy hobbies and pastimes? Since we handle groceries, meals, housekeeping, linen service, yard work and maintenance, you’ll have more time for socializing, keeping in touch with family, volunteering and more.

Do you value your independence and freedom? This is a big one. At Amica, you live each day your way, just like you would in your own home. You set your schedule, come and go as you please, decide what and when to eat, etc. Professional, caring staff are on call 24/7 if you need a hand.

Do you feel ready to hand over household maintenance? Seniors commonly choose Amica when they don’t want to cook and clean anymore or they’re ﬁnding it a challenge.

Do you like having fun things to do? It’s tough to ﬁnd yourself bored at Amica: seniors enjoy events and outings organized by staff based on what residents in each community like to do. Examples may include happy hours, musical performances, guest lectures, excursions or shopping outings. There’s no pressure to join: all recreation programs are voluntary. Did you know you can try premium senior living to see if you like it? Book a visit at Amica.ca and ask about a trial stay.

The Ontario Hockey Federation has pulled back on its implementation of cross-ice hockey for six-year-olds. It is considered a temporary solution to a touchy issue that came to a head last month when it was declared six-year-old children would be forced to play hockey on reduced ice surfaces. No doubt some degree of public pushback caused the provincial hockey body to reconsider its intention to drop 2011-born players from full-ice hockey for the 2017-18 season. In some cases, teams were already formed for the current season before the concept was made official. Theoretically, that clears the decks for implementation in the 2018-19 season, although, minor sport being what it can be, is it not conceivable that a pocket of hockey parents might seek exemptions for their kids through legal channels? The concept of putting young players on smaller ice surfaces to develop skills is a good one and a staple for many youth sports programs. However, it appears the notion was poorly communicated through the minor hockey community. Certainly, area minor hockey groups were murky on

JOHN CUDMORE Cuddy Shark the details of a concept that was in the talk-about stage for months. Ultimately, Hockey Canada is aiming to push the concept of hockey on modified ice surfaces to the eight-year-old age group by the 2019-20 season. ASHOF gets the picture The beauty is often in the details. Few amateur sports groups do details quite like the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame folks. Adding local artist Paul Riley to its lineup is intended to enhance the experience for inductees and visitors to the hall located at the Stronach Aurora Recreation Complex. Riley has been charged with creating official portraits of the Hall of Fame’s inductees, with

originals to be presented to this year’s inductees at the 2017 induction ceremonies to be held Nov. 8 at St. Andrew’s College. Copies of the portraits will be displayed at the hall of fame. "I’m very excited to be working with the Hall," said Riley. "Community involvement is very important to me, so to be able to create portraits for the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame is a perfect fit." Riley is also the portrait artist for the Hockey Hall of Fame and Canadian Business Hall of Fame. Pink in the Rink Minor midget teams for the York Simcoe Express and Newmarket Redmen (double-A) are in the pink for the month of October. Both squads will be wearing pink jerseys during games played to the theme of Pink In The Rink this month to highlight Breast Cancer Awareness month. For the Redmen, which will post collection boxes at home games throughout the month, a highlight game will be its Oct. 26 game versus the Aurora Tigers, part of the annual home-andhome challenge between the neighbouring communities.

USport ultimate final provides setting for family reunion JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com It might be among the ultimate in family reunions this weekend when the Toogood kids get together in Ottawa. The Newmarket siblings - Katie, Cooper and Rhys will compete for different university teams at the USport (formerly CIS) ultimate championships scheduled to run from Oct. 13 to 15. It is a rare occurrence, although in the ultimate community, paths often cross. "It’s funny," said Katie, who at 23 is the eldest of the siblings, competing for the University of Toronto this weekend. "I didn’t stop to think about how cool it was, but my mom has been over the moon since we qualified. It’s unique that we’ve made it to this level playing at different places and then now come together at nationals." Indeed. For Katie, who attended Aurora High School

Emily Tran photo

Newmarket resident Katie Toogood (right) is representing University of Toronto at the USport ultimate championships Oct. 12 to 14. where her mother, Patti Anglin, coached the ultimate team, it is the fifth and final year of eligibility. After four years at Queen’s where she was a captain for two seasons, and another at the University of Toronto pursuing a master’s degree in professional kinesiology, she has bronze and silver medals. For younger brothers Cooper, 21, a second-year political science student at

Dalhousie University in Halifax, and Rhys, 19, a graduate of Newmarket High School and currently second-year student at Queen’s, it could get personal as their men’s teams are among the eight finalists. The schedule for the eight-team tournament is expected to be released midweek with potential for a family clash in the men’s competition on Saturday.
