Southlake leads way on wait times CHRIS SIMON csimon@yrmg.com

Many other Ontario hospitals can look toward York Region for inspiration when reducing wait times. Newmarket's Southlake Regional Health Centre is top in Ontario for ER wait times - at about 1.3 hours on average. According to Health Qual-

ity Ontario's recently released Under Pressure: Emergency Department Performance in Ontario, the limit patients waited in Emergency to see a doctor in 2014-2015 was three hours. "We are leaders in the province, specifically our door to doctor time, which far exceeds the provincial average," Emergency department director Kim Storey said. "We've found a num-

ber of operational efficiencies and a philosophy change. We're able to react, in real time, to our patients. We're really proud. Wait times translate into quality of care." Southlake's ER handles about 300 patients per day - they're on pace for 111,000 in total this year. That makes the Southlake ER one of the busiest in the province, she said.

Physician schedules are tailored to meet patient needs every day and the doctors are assisted by 'navigators' tasked with organizing some of the routine elements of their jobs. This allows the doctors to focus on providing care, rather than searching for reports or scheduling their time. Also, the

Region ‘ground zero’ for growing dementia cases LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com

Although Teresa Durante learned English after moving to Canada from Italy in 1959, dementia is robbing the senior citizen of her ability to speak her second language. Fortunately, her round-the-clock caregiver, Connie Bertucci, discovered a new day program in Vaughan for Italian-speaking seniors who have been diagnosed with early-stage dementia or Alzheimer's. "We moved (to Woodbridge) to be with the Italian community because I came from Oakville where there was a beautiful program but they were all Englishspeaking and English food and it just made it that much harder," Bertucci said at the official opening of the Calabrian Benevolent Association of Ontario (CBAO) Centre at Islington Avenue and Hwy. 7 as Durante painted at a nearby table with other seniors. "When I found this program, she felt at home in a way because they speak Italian. The environment, she just fit in

and she felt good. I'm so fortunate to find something like this to give me two days off a week. She loves it here, she loves the people, the people are terrific. It means a lot to her. They should have more of these (centres)." With an aging population and a growing number of patients with dementia, there is an increasing need for services, including those that cater to multicultural residents, Loren Freid, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of York Region, said. "The needs are not being met. The dementia population is substantially larger than the services that are here for them," he said. Because short-term memory is the first stage of memory to go with Alzheimer's and dementia, the diseases' victims born overseas often lose the ability to speak the English they learned after moving to Canada and revert to their mother tongues, Freid said. "All of this is a unique challenge here in York Region for a couple of reasons. One is York Region has perhaps the fastest-growing population of seniors across the country," he said.

"While dementia is not a normal part of the aging process, age is its most significant risk factor. So, York Region is essentially ground zero for seeing an increase in people with dementia." There are about 15,000 people in the region with some form of dementia, which is expected to double by 2031. There are about 80 languages spoken in the Greater Toronto Area, according to the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance. "York Region as part of the GTA forms the largest, most diverse ethnocultural community in Canada so it is extremely important to have dementia programs in the native languages of the people who live here," Freid said. Not only do programs help people with the disease communicate more easily, but they also encourage family members to work with organizations such as the Alzheimer's Society to get their loved one the care they need, he said. The society, a leader in providing programs, including staff able to provide services in different languages, helps about

MTO says Hwy. 404 sound barriers ready to roll SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com

It’s a little bit quieter in Sharon these days. The province is wrapping up the $7.3 million project to construct a 2.67-kilometre noise barrier in Sharon. Crews will be finished next week, an MTO spokesperson said.

The 2.67-kilometre barrier appears to be the lengthiest the ministry could construct while staying under the $100,000-peraffected-household threshold. According to the noise study done by the province, the barrier represents a cost of $99,408 per residence. The total estimated cost of the

project is $7.3 million. A portion of the existing noise fence currently installed was removed to accommodate the new noise barrier. The proposed design includes integrating the existing side yard fences of four properties on Colonel Wayling Boulevard, backing on to the new noise barrier. The existing fences

will be modified to abut the proposed noise barrier. The province announced last year it planned to build a 2.67-kilometre noise barrier along the 404 extension, from just north of Green Lane to a point just north of Farr Avenue, after residents voiced concerns about excessive noise from the highway extension

after it opened in 2014. People from the Sharon Hills subdivision packed council chambers saying the level of noise was not acceptable. The maximum the ministry will spend is $100,000 per residence affected in implementing noise mitigation measures, it has said.

PROVIDE YOUR FEEDBACK East Gwillimbury Emergency Services is creating a 10-year community-driven Fire Master Plan to guide operational improvements and enhance service in the community. An important step in developing the Plan is to receive public feedback. Residents and businesses are asked to take a few minutes to complete an online survey by November 25th. Respondents will also have the opportunity to attend a public meeting on November 29 at the Civic Centre from 7 to 9 p.m. Visit www.eastgwillimbury.ca/masterplan to take the survey!

Business Plan and Budget Deliberations Upcoming Meetings: November 28 at 9 a.m. & November 30 at 9 a.m. December 20 at 7 p.m. (Proposed Adoption)

Did you miss the 2017 Preliminary Business Plan and Budget overview at Council last week? Here are some highlights: • To maintain existing programs and services the preliminary budget proposes a tax increase of $41 to the average home. • To continue the focus on community safety through the multi-year plan, the budget proposes the addition of 2 full time firefighters, with a proposed increase of $29 to the average home. • Even with the proposed total increase of $70, EG has the lowest relative taxes in York Region, which means an EG resident would pay less than a resident with a comparable home in any other municipality in York Region. The budget will be deliberated by Council beginning November 28. The public is welcome to attend or provide feedback online at www.eastgwillimbury.ca/budget

With 2nd Concession complete after a summer full of construction, new residents are set to pour into East Gwillimbury. But the occupancy numbers expected by the town in 2016 aren't quite what they first estimated. Back in August the town spokesperson Laura Hanna said the town has received more than 1,700 building permits this year, with almost 1,000 new home permits issued already. They had expected occupancy in 500 new homes by the end of the year. That number may have been a little ambitious as Hanna said the town now expects occupancy between 200 and 250 homes by the end of the year. The dry summer helped construction this summer which was robust compared to last year. New home building permits dropped from 167 in 2014 to an estimated 87 in 2015. Those numbers appear to be an aberration. At the time, chief administrative officer Tom Webster said the town expects somewhere in the vicinity of 1,000 building permits in 2016 as new development starts to come online. While a higher volume of permits in 2015 was originally expected, development services general manager Carolyn Kellington said the slowdown was due to the timing of the York Durham Sewage System extension completion being pushed back. According to the town, 1,162 have been sold in Sharon, 643 in Queensville, 335 in Holland Landing and 207 in Mount Albert. Add it all up and that's 2,347 new homes that have been sold. Ideally, town staff would like to have a stable building rate of about 800 homes every year, but that's not how the market works. The new homes are feeding the insatiable demand for housing stock in York Region, which has seen home prices continue to rise. The average price of a resale home in York Region increased by 13.5 per cent in 2015 to $777,927, said Paul Bottomley, York Region's manager of policy, research and planning in the economic development department. The skyrocketing prices can be attributed to a number of issues, including a lack of houses for sale compared to demand, resulting in more competition and aggressive offers, Bottomley said.

Man dead, woman seriously injured after collision Unknown why pair was in roadway, police said SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com A man in his twenties is dead and a woman in her twenties is in a Toronto trauma hospital with serious injuries after the pedestrians were hit by a vehicle in East Gwillimbury Friday night. The man and woman were hit by a southbound passenger vehicle in the Hwy. 11 and Sherwood Glen area at about 9 p.m. It is unknown why they were in the roadway, said York Regional Police Staff Sgt. Mike Stock Saturday morning. "We don't know if they were crossing the roadway," he said. The man and woman were acquaintances, Sgt. Stock said. "We don't anticipate charges will be laid," he said. The police are not releasing the man and woman's names. The major collision unit is investigating. Anyone with information and any witnesses should call 905-830-0303 ext. 7100.

A hoarding disorder forced a Vaughan woman from her home. Above, the images show the state of her home before and after CHATS helped her to declutter. the fire department allowed her to live there again, Sandra has been getting help with her hoarding issue from CHATS York Region. "I started in July with CHATS, I see a therapist and my family doctor is aware of it (hoarding)," Sandra said. She is working hard to slowly declutter her home and shows off before-and-after photos of rooms that were once a hoarding nightmare and later, spotless. "It's very difficult to stop hoarding and to declutter but I don't go out on recycling and garbage days (to grab stuff) anymore," Sandra said. She avoids stressful situations as best she can, as she figures they trigger hoarding behaviour and believes, like any addict, she'll always have a desire to hoard. She said she'll just have to fight the urge to do it. "It's always going to be a part of me," Sandra said.

HOW TO HELP When it comes to hoarding, forced clearouts don’t work. “It’s very traumatizing and you’re only focusing on the symptom of hoarding, not the underlying issue,” said occupational therapist Alda Melo, who has seen at least 100 hoarders over the years in her practice. Melo, who is working with CHATS York Region to help counsel hoarders in a program sponsored by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, said in a forced clearout, “what we find is six months or a year later, you have as much stuff as you had before, if not more. And it builds distrust toward providers.” Melo said hoarding is defined as a mental disorder with varying degrees of severity. And treating it depends on the client. “With some clients we use harmreduction and try to focus on minimizing risk. It’s not required that the individual stops hoarding, but organizing and discarding only what’s necessary,” she said.

With others, the work is on cognitive therapy where the effort goes in try ing to teach clients to think differently about why they hoard. Melo said she finds that hoarders tend to have much more stressful lives than non-hoarders which may be what helps trigger hoarding behaviour. “Many also have other mental health illnesses, which is very common and may be living with depression. We see very high rates of that. Obsessive compulsive behaviour is also common” with hoarders, she said. Her approach, in general, is try to try to teach them skills, modification strategies and changing behaviours. “They may not be ready to start discarding but ready to start reducing acquisition. It goes hand in hand. “There is no expectation or thinking that you will cure hoarding disorder,” Melo said. She did add it takes years to work through hoarding issues and client’s must be determined to stay with it if they want to declutter.

Emmerson to run for York chair, Taylor out, Jones iffy candidates' campaigns could run in excess of $500,000. "It is my intention to run for regional chair in the next municipal election if the legislation passes," he said. Newmarket Councillor John Taylor, who lost to Emmerson in 2014 and has advocated for an elected chair, said he won't seek the job. "I have decided to focus my energy, passion and effort primarily on the town of Newmarket," he said, adding he hasn't given much thought to his next campaign. "There are a number of exciting opportunities and projects in the near future in Newmarket and I want to make sure that the town I grew up in continues to be one best places to live in all of Canada." Markham Councillor Jim Jones, who pulled out of the 2014 race at the last minute, said it is too early to determine if he will run. The provincial legislation would allow voters in York,

York Region's chair, perhaps the most powerful political job in the region, should be elected by voters, said NewmarketAurora MPP Chris Ballard after the provincial government introduced legislation.

One's in, one's out and the other is mulling. A week after the provincial government introduced legislation to make York Region's chair an elected position in the next municipal election on Oct. 22, 2018, the candidates who vied for the job the last time around are declaring their intentions. At the moment, the chair is selected by 20 mayors and regional councillors. But it is important to turn the decision over to voters, Newmarket-Aurora MPP Chris Ballard said. "It is a fundamental, democratic right that the most powerful political position, an individual who oversees a budget of $2 billion and debt that's close to $3 billion, is directly elected and accountable to the people of York Region," he said. Current chair Wayne Emmerson will run for the job, with some observers saying

Niagara and Peel to elect their chairs. Chairs in Durham, Halton and Waterloo are already elected. The legislation is expected to pass easily at Queen's Park, said Ballard, who along with Richmond Hill MPP Reza Moridi and Oak Ridges-Markham MPP Helena Jaczek had introduced private member's bills over the years to make York's chair elected. The bills died when the MPPs became cabinet ministers because private member's bills must be brought forward by backbenchers.

Peter Van Loan endorses Leitch for CPC leadership SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com

The Conservative Party of Canada is in the midst of a leadership race to select a replacement for former Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The field is deep with more than 10 names but so far candidate Kellie Leitch has caused the biggest stir with her proposal to screen immigrants for Canadian values. York-Simcoe MP Peter Van Loan is endorsing the SimcoeGrey MP for the leadership and doesn't think it was all that controversial. "It's a very curious reaction," he said. "Some people find it completely irrelevant because we already screen immigrants." Van Loan said that in the era we live in now where terrorist attacks in Paris involved people coming in from different coun-

tries, it's important for Canada to be vigilante processing people into the country. The issue of refugees is especially personal for Van Loan as his grandparents were refugees from Estonia. "From a young age, I learned that democracy was pretty fragile," he said. Van Loan recounted his grandparents experience and said that's why it's important to teach new Canadians about our history. He bristled at the Liberals for saying the citizenship guide was a little too heavy on the War of 1812 when it is the reason Canada is not part of the United States. What can't be question for Van Loan is Leitch's integrity. He first met her at a party convention in Montreal in 1986 when Leitch was 16 leading a delegation from Fort McMurray and has been impressed ever since. "She's extraordi-

narily intelligent and very hard working," Van Loan said. Before winning the riding of Simcoe-Grey in 2011, Leitch had been focused on her career as an orthopaedic paediatric surgeon. Other characteristics that drew Van Loan to support Leitch were that she was a fiscal conservative and that she didn't support a carbon tax, he added. The Conservatives will select their new leader in May. Other leadership candidates include, Michael Chong, Maxime Bernier, Lisa Raitt, Steven Blaney, Andrew Scheer, Chris Alexander, Dan Lindsay, Deepak Obhrai, Erin O'Toole, Andrew Saxton and Brad Trost. The leader will be selected through the one member one vote system. Each riding across the country will have equal weight in the system.

2017 budget could see taxes go up $84 SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com Water is wet, winter is cold, and your property taxes are likely to go up again in 2017. East Gwillimbury unveiled its 2017 preliminary budget Nov. 16 and your property taxes are set to rise 5.1 per cent or $84 for the average home. Town treasurer Mark Valcic said 1.75 per cent of the increase is dedicated to hiring new fulltime firefighters while the other 3.35 per cent are destined for unanticipated contractual obligations and programs and services. Things are still very much in the preliminary stages. Council hasn't had a chance to sit down with the budget book and look at the numbers. If history repeats itself, council will slash the increase. In 2014 the preliminary budget had a tax increase pegged around 7 per cent before it was slashed to 3.95 per cent. In 2015, the preliminary bud-

during 2014 budget deliberations, council knew the move was going to represent a significant budget increase.

Before 2014 the town had six full-time firefighters. They hired an addition six in 2014 and two in 2015. The town plans to hire two additional firefighters for the next three years to reach a total of 20 by 2018. In 2014, council committed to a 1.75 per cent dedicated tax levy increase every year for four years to pay for the program. The proposed operating budget is $21.5 million According to Valcic's report, 84 per cent of the operating budget is funded through taxes with the remaining 16 per cent coming from various user fees, fines and reserve transfers. Council will spend much of the next two months in budget deliberation. They are scheduled to meet for deliberations Nov. 28, Nov. 30, Dec. 6 and Dec. 13. The hope is to be able to adopt the budget before Christmas at the Dec. 20th council meeting. For more information about the town's budget process, you can visit the eastgwillimbury.ca

Farm owner sends dogs homeward bound SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com

The air seems cleaner where Christina Rolston lives. Tucked away from the rush of cars on Holborn Road, Dunbordin Farms feels a thousand miles away from the Toronto. The perfectly manicured lawns stretch out like a cat toward a barn at the back of her property where Rolston has kept horses for close to 30 years. "We offer horse boarding here," Rolston said. "It's a 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year job." The farm has room for 15 horses. Rolston bought it when she was 24 after her accountant told her she may as well start a boarding farm instead of paying horse board herself. "When I was young I would do all the work myself and then go to work (in the city). It's not a job so much as a lifestyle," she said. Nowadays, Rolston has hired help to keep up with the daily rigor of taking care of horses. The lifestyle Rolston subscribes to at Dunbdordin Farms is to give animals a good life. Her work in that area doesn't just end with horses. Rolston has a soft spot for dogs especially ones that are trapped at a shelter. She has fostered seven dogs through Our Angels Dog Rescue. The program takes dogs out of the shelters until an owner can be found. Rolston thought Dunbordin Farms would be a good environment for the dogs. She ended up liking some of the dogs so much she kept them herself. Jagger, an Australian cattle dog, rests on the couch with her at her house. "He is supposed to be rambunctious," she laughed. Jagger was from Kentucky where dogs are euthanized when the shelter is full, Rolston said. "This is just a little way I can do my part," she said. That's not the only way Rolston lends a helping hand to dogs. She takes a drive down to the Buffalo Airport every month to pick up rescue dogs from New Mexico and bring them to SPCAs in Ontario. "Shelters in New Mexico are full to the brim," she said. "They have a 75 per cent

People at the airport know what she is doing now but Rolston said it can be a little bit tricky getting the dogs through customs at the border. "They're not too impressed when you tell

them you have nine dogs," she said. There is a real market for these rescue dogs, Rolston continued. "The shelters put them on Facebook Friday and they are gone Monday," Rolston said. She only does the deliveries

when the weather is appropriate. You can't fly dogs when it too hot or too cold, she said. "We are doing right by the dogs," she said. Rolston doesn't think she is doing anything too special for animals. There are so many peo-

ple and organizations that do so much to benefit animals lives, she said. Nearly 30 years at Dunbordin Farms has only served to strengthen her ties to her furry friends. "They give you unconditional love and offer great companionship," she said.

Divisive politics unCanadian

ERIN CERENZIA Community Columnist

Help everyone enjoy this wonderful time of year

hat are Canadian values? How do we define them? What’s in our DNA that indisputably says, ‘this is us’? If one were to pose those questions to 10 different people, we would quite possibly get 10 different answers. Metroland Media did recently ask people across the county to express what they believe our values are. Answers included: “We try not to offend people.” “The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.” “Taking care of veterans.” “Owning a house and having a job.” “Heritage and democracy.” “Respect for our other Canadians, our neighbours.”

Leitch, who cheered Donald Trump’s win, has actually seen her support grow of late.

If Canada’s genetic complexity is such that the values we cherish are so diverse, then what are we to make of MP Kellie Leitch’s vow to screen potential immigrants for conformity to those principles? Leitch, a candidate in the race to replace Stephen Harper as federal Conservative leader, says if she’s in charge “every visitor, immigrant and refugee will be screened for Canadian values.” Presumably, these values would be defined by Leitch. Immigrants would have to conform or try somewhere else. It’s a proposal destined to divide rather than unite people, but that is likely Leitch’s intent. We just witnessed an anti-immigrant candidate capture the United States presidency in perhaps the ugliest, most divisive campaign we’ve ever seen. Leitch, who cheered Donald Trump’s win, has actually seen her support grow of late, a development that may embolden her as she works to demonize another group – Canada’s so-called political and media ‘elites’ . If history and Trump’s example teach us anything, it’s that politicians can manipulate angry, alienated, fearful people. It’s important that we recognize Leitch’s approach for what it is – the same faux populist, obnoxious opportunism that inspired the Harper government to give us the barbaric practices tipline, the attacks on the niqab, and references to old-stock Canadians. (Had Harper instituted a values test, it would likely have screened for conservative, rather than Canadian values). Divisive polices couldn’t extend Harper’s reign and we contend that Leitch will also be disappointed as she seeks to divide us for her own ends. The Republican party could not stop Trump, but federal Tories can certainly send a message that they will not head down the same path as they select a new leader.

• SAYING IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA •

A round-up of reaction online

The story: Queen’s Park introduces bill to make regional chairs elected Normally, I would agree that all politicians should be elected, but in the case of Regional Chairs, I have my doubts. I recall the Viva transit strike many years ago in which the two companies contracted to provide service, breached their contract and went on strike demanding comparable wages to those of the TTC drivers. My initial thought at the time was, quit and work for the TTC. The Viva strike was dragging on and the “unelected” Chair, Bill Fisch, decided to cancel one of the companies contracts citing “breach of contract” rather than give in to the demands for higher wages. Needless to say, the strike was over in a week. Would an elected Chair have taken on the striking union? I suspect not, they would have buckled under pressure from the public and likely have settled handing the bill to the taxpayers. If the mayors are elected by the public, and if they, in turn, elect the Chair, you still have the semblance of a democratic system, yet you gain the advantage of having a Chair who can do the right thing for the majority of taxpayers without having to worry the next election. Perhaps there are some other undisclosed issues, but if the Mayors and Regional Councillors are OK with the current system, and it is working, why would we want to change? I did challenge Reza Moridi on this very issue when he proposed his private members Bill; his response: “I put forward this Bill solely to acclaim the democratic right of the residents of the Region to elect directly their Chair.” I gave up at that point. Mike Bowcott

The story: Despite breed ban, sales of illegal pit bulls continue It’s not the dog I worry about it’s why the people want one and what they will do with it...A Rottweiler, Doberman and many other breeds owned by people can do a lot of damage to small kids, adults if loose and protective.

• LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • OMB editorial not based in reality Re: Time to Scrap OMB, Nov. 3. Having been involved in the development business in the 1980s and early 1990s I believe that your editorial is not based on reality. The OMB serves an important function for neutralizing decisions of biased municipal politicians. These politicians, by and large, do not necessarily vote for what is good for their constituents but rather for what the neighbourhood wants, be it good or bad. Let’s be honest; nobody wants change in their neighbourhood regardless of the proposed redevelopments scale. Not only will the local councillor vote against the development but he/she will lobby the rest of council to vote likewise. The only fallback a developer has is the OMB, who are not swayed by municipal politicians. I agree that the members of the OMB should not be appointed. A solution may be to have them elected in provincial ridings during provincial elections, not municipal elections. Without the OMB, very few developments will proceed based on the current approval process. If you want to do away with the OMB, make the approval process fairer and not politically motivated. There are ways to accomplish this but that is not the topic of this editorial. Tom Deutsch Thornhill

Protect our neighbourhoods The proposed site for the Newmarket Gorham Street apartment is in single and semi-detached housing. The town should strictly stand by its zoning and not allow builders to disrespect its zoning and by laws. Newmarket neighbourhoods should be protected. Recently, a rental building was constructed on Queen Street, another one (sentenced by York Region) is under construction on Davis Drive and another one is proposed on Eagle street. This small town with its limited facilities has more rentals and social housing than the cities of Markham and Vaughn, while being the least successful in creating jobs among York Region municipalities. Does York Region plan to build a poverty hub? Who will pay for consequences? Ali Abbaskhah Newmarket

Proportional representation a better voting system Recently, I was surprised to read that Clinton had more people voting for her than Trump did. On reflection, I realized that this should not surprise

me, or any Canadians, since America also has a First-Past-The-Post system, though different from ours. Neither country has yet discovered what almost all other countries have - A Proportional Representation (PR) system - which is a much better way of voting. But I am optimistic that Canada will be lucky again - I think we are about to make the change to PR. All the signs are there, that this year we will jump from having only about 50 per cent of our citizens with representatives in Ottawa to about 80 per cent! Very few wasted votes! Fair Vote Canada tells us that most Canadians want it, three parties are in favour, and even about half of the Conservatives are too! William Shore Sutton

Mulock Drive should have full interchange Can someone put a little fire under Newmarket Council to ask the provincial government to make the 404 and Mulock Drive interchange a full one? It seems crazy to be adding traffic to Davis Drive when those driving south on Hwy. 404 to Mulock have to exit at Davis. This is also the case in the opposite direction. Considering Southlake Regional Health Centre is on Davis, you’d think there would be some kind of impetus to complete the intersection, lowering the traffic flow on Davis. Anthony Allen Newmarket

Retired editor ‘a really cool guy’ I attended Jim Mason’s Roast the other night. I didn’t have the opportunity to actively participate in roasting him. I just listened and enjoyed the feast like everyone else. I would like to break with protocol, maybe for the first and last time, because this past August Jim referred to me as a romantic, which caused me a lot of grief, and I want to get even. That reference got my wife’s dander up. She was livid. She confronted me in a Donald Trump tone of voice, and asked what the heck been going on between you and Jim Mason? I mumbled nothing, not realizing I had been publicly outed. I sheepishly admitted that yes, we have had a bromance relationship for about 30 years, and she surprisingly said that’s okay; he seems to be a really cool guy. Jim’s fellow scribe, Jim Thomas who once considered him his nemesis, wrote glowingly of his accomplishments in such a short time. Jim Mason, you have written passionately about your adoptive town.

calls like: ‘Hi man, what time does the beer or liquor store open or close’?

You have punched and left a gaping hole in the newspaper business with your no-holds-barred, take no prisoners approach to writing.

Thanks to students, staff at Stuart Scott I have never attended the Remembrance Day ceremony in my 44 years in Newmarket because I have always done it where I worked before retirement (Richmond Hill) or elsewhere. This morning I walked down to the lovely cenotaph next to St Paul’s Anglican Church not sure if the local officialdom would be there or not. They were not; there must have been service somewhere or at the cenotaph last Sunday or on another day. I noted that this was in fact November 11th. So I prepared to stand and do my own quiet remembrance in the company of a smattering of gathering locals. Suddenly, a long line of children from the nearby Stuart Scott Public School trooped in with teachers, some carrying homemade wreaths. One staff member carried a “boom box” so I knew thankfully that something musical would be played. So the crowd swelled. There were one or two in uniform, Legion and other, and some medalled. A teacher spoke stridently, passionately and clearly. She conducted the children in the national anthem and then played clear and loud recordings of “The Last Post” and “Reveille” on either side of a minute’s silence. The children then recited “In Flanders Field” and finally with guitar accompaniment the children sang clearly and sweetly “Blowin’ in the Wind”. I approached the lead teacher after and thanked her for what was maybe my most memorable remembrance ceremony. As always, I thought tearfully and gratefully of those who died and served, and of my Dad and the horrors he experienced during World War II as an Engineer in the RCE in the Canadian 2nd Division, surviving the horrific and disastrous Dieppe raid August 19th 1942, and across France, Belgium and Holland between June 1944 and May 1945. I am so grateful to the staff and children of Stuart Scott P.S. John Watson Newmarket

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Whether it’s from the magical twinkling lights outside or that exciting countdown until school closes and holidays begin, cheer seems to spread amongst us. But, unfortunately, that’s not the reality for everyone. In fact, according to the most recent studies, about 10 per cent of York Region’s population is considered to be low-income and spend 55 per cent or more of their gross income for food, shelter and clothing. For these individuals, whom statistics show are working, supporting families with children and have post-secondary education, the holiday season is one of stress and fear of being unable to offer gifts or even provide a holiday meal for their loved ones. And that’s where we all come in. This season, Neighbourhood Network encourages all members of the community to step up and give back in any way they can to support those in need. An easy way to do this is to make a donation to our Holiday Gift Drive program. Our organization works with more than 350 local charities, non-profits and community groups. Each year, we reach out to them to seek out their most urgent gift requests, whether they are for infants, teenagers, children or seniors. We then share this information on our website, in our weekly e-newsletter and through social media, so that those looking to make a donation, but unsure of what to buy, have an easy shopping list to search from. Last year, we helped 54 individual families, almost 200 children and received more than $5,500 in donations from the community. From providing a hotel room for a single mother and her children who were living in a trailer with no heat to stay in over Christmas, to donating to a family whose mother’s recent terminal cancer diagnosis and father being laid off meant little joy or money for the holidays, our Holiday Gift Drive and the donations made by residents helped to support many of our neighbours in need. This year, the need is greater than ever. We have already heard from 14 of our partner agencies, who are requesting donations before Dec. 15. You can drop off donations Monday - Friday at the Neighbourhood Network office, 14988 Yonge St., Aurora, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. until Dec. 19. If you know of a family in need or represent an organization looking for support, please connect with us and we’ll see how we can help. Let’s all step up and give back, to make this the most wonderful time of the year for all members of our community. For more information, visit nnetwork.org or call 1-855-870-4586.

Erin Cerenzia is the Coordinator of Neighbourhood Network. She steps up and gives back to the Newmarket Historical Society and Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation.

New hospice offers choice for terminally ill patients

Newmarket facility named after philanthropist Margaret Bahen LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com Without residential hospice beds, terminally ill patients are forced to choose between dying in hospital or at home. While people want to die in the comfort of their home surrounded by loved ones, they often choose spending their final days in hospital for fear of being a burden on their families. That is why a new regional residential hospice being built in Newmarket is so crucial, says Dr. Cindy So, the regional clinical lead of palliative care for the Central Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) palliative care network. "Palliative care focuses on quality of life and ensuring that patients are provided with comfort, with quality care and with dignity at the end of life," she said. "Currently, in York Region we only have three residential hospice beds

Southlake Regional Health Centre holds an official groundbreaking ceremony for a new residential hospice being built on Queen Street in Newmarket, Ontario. When completed, the hospice will serve about 250 patients and their families from York Region and surrounding areas, each year. and while our friends at (Richmond Hill's) Hill House Hospice are doing incredible work, the demand for palliative care and hospice care contin-

ues to grow." While there are some great palliative community supports available, they are often not enough, said So, a palliative care doc-

tor at Southlake Regional Health Centre. "I see time and time again that patients and families in desperation come to the emergency

room and, sadly, they die on a stretcher in the ER. That is simply not appropriate nor is it dignified," she said. "To me, hospice represents the best of both worlds. It provides a warm, familiar, homelike environment while still providing the 24-hour professional care. The interprofessional team are not only experts in pain and symptom management, but they work together to meet the emotional, the spiritual and the psychological needs of patients and families when they truly are most vulnerable." An official groundbreaking was held Nov. 18 for the centre, already under construction on Grace St. beside the hospital and its long-term care home. The centre, which will serve the whole region, will be named the Margaret Bahen Hospice for York Region in recognition of one of Southlake's most generous supporters, foundation president Neila Poscente said. Bahen and her family have supported many programs at Southlake, including the regional cancer program's Bahen Chant Radiation Treatment Centre and the John

and Margaret Bahen Rehabilitation Program. The Bahen family and the community have raised $4 million toward the hospice, a $12 million project, which will be 100 per cent funded through foundation's "love lives here" campaign. It is exciting to see the hospice, which has been in the works since 2010, taking shape for its completion in late 2017, Southlake president Dr. Dave Williams said. "Our community has rallied together to help us build this residential hospice," he said. "Through the philanthropy we have from our remarkable community, we will be able to provide an environment where we can provide comprehensive end-of-life care with compassion, with empathy, with dignity and with respect." The hospice represents residents' desire for quality and compassionate health care close to home, said Brenda Urbanksi, a board member of the Central LHIN, which funds and plans local health care.

HEALTH

Province must make ERs work better for patients CHRIS SIMON csimon@yrmg.com

You may have a shorter wait to see a doctor in an Ontario emergency room these days, but many of those departments are under an increasing amount of stress, according to a report released by the province's health care quality adviser. Health Quality Ontario (HQO) recently released Under Pressure: Emergency Department Performance in Ontario. The report takes a broad view of the state of hospital ERs in the province and looks at performance measures such as patient satisfaction rates, ER visits and time spent at the hospital. However, its findings offer a warning to many ERs - a large-scale incident could cripple a department's ability to offer quality patient care. "Many patients wait too long in crowded emergency departments to be seen by a doctor," states the report, which is available at hqontario.ca. "While progress has been made in overall performance, an (ER) could be strained beyond its capacity to provide quality to all its patients by a bad flu season, or if a hospital nearby has to temporarily close its emergency department. Long waits to see a doctor are not merely inconvenient... there can be serious negative consequences." The risk of infectious disease outbreaks, medical errors and death increases the longer a patient waits for assessment, says the report. Under Pressure shows that the maximum amount of time nine out of 10 patients spent in the department dropped from 8.7 to 7.8 hours between 2008-2009 and 2014-2015. The limit patients waited in emergency to see a

Waiting area in Southlake Regional Health Centre's emergency department. doctor also dropped, from 3.6 to three hours. However, the number of annual visits to provincial ERs increased 13.4 per cent, more than double the 6.2 increase in Ontario's overall population during that time. In total, there were nearly 5.9 million unscheduled Emergency visits in 2014-2015. The increase in visits is blamed largely on Ontario's aging population - patients over 65 tend to require more frequent and complex care. Many sick patients, who should be admitted to hospital or handed over to long-term care facilities, get stuck in ERs for extended periods of time because there is a lack of available beds in in-patient wards, Health Quality president and CEO Dr. Joshua Tepper said. "Patients may spend hours and sometimes even days lying on stretchers in emergency examination rooms or hallways," he said. "Even with the demographic challenges the province is facing, the concerted efforts made by

government, hospitals and others to improve the performance of Ontario's emergency departments have brought many positive changes. But it's clear that much work still needs to be done to make emergency departments work better for all patients." There was a 29.1 per cent

increase in visits by people ages 65 and older. Visits by more seriously ill - or 'high-acuity' - patients who were not admitted to hospital increased by 44.1 per cent, while the number of people who were admitted rose 17.5. However, the report also seems to direct some blame toward other areas of the healthcare system. 47 per cent of adult Ontarians reported visiting Emergency for a condition they thought could have been treated by their primary care provider, if that doctor or nurse practitioner was available. All these extra visits put ERs "under a great deal of pressure", the report states. Ontario has set targets for ER length of stays. The proportion of visits completed within the four-hour non-admitted low-acuity patients increased to 89.9 per cent, up from 84.6. Meanwhile, visits completed within the eight-hour target for high-acuity patients and admitted patients

rose to 85.7 per cent from 79.8. Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care spokesperson David Jensen says the province is providing an additional $140 million in funding to Ontario hospitals this year, to help further reduce wait times. "We also continue to increase our investments in home and community care to ensure that patients can receive the care they need in their own homes, rather than in hospital," he said. "Numerous initiatives have been implemented by the government since 2008 to improve emergency department performance." So what is the province doing, specifically, to reduce wait times? The ministry has implemented a Pay-for-Results program that provides financial incentives to high-volume hospitals that reduce length of stay times. Nurse-led outreach teams are set up across the province to reduce transfers of long-term care residents to emergency departments.

Hospitals exceeding expectations ● From page A1 provincial Pay-for-Results financial incentive program has played a prominent role in motivating the hospital to reduce wait times, she said. Markham Stouffville Hospital is also exceeding expectations, with wait times of 2.1 hours in 2014-2015 and two in 2015-2016. Among other initiatives, MSH has an estimated ER wait time section for its Markham and Uxbridge facilities on msh.on.ca. The ER pages include: the

number of patients at the hospital, a stopwatch image with a wait time indicator, and a graph showing the estimated busiest times for the department over the upcoming six hours. There’s also a list of potential alternatives to the ER, like local clinics and links for Telehealth Ontario and Health Care Connect, posted prominently on the right hand side of the pages. Meanwhile, wait times are also declining at Richmond Hill’s Mackenzie Health in each of the last three years. So far in the

2016-2017 fiscal year, wait time is 2.6 hours, compared to 3.2 the year before. The wait time was 3.4 hours in 2014-2015. “On any given day, we see 250 to 320 patients at (the) Emergency department,” Mackenzie spokesperson Catalina Guran said. Mackenzie offsets some ER visits by offering an Urgent Care Centre, 9401 Jane St. in Vaughan, for patients with non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries that do not require hospitalization or immediate surgery.

Number of people with dementia to double by 2031 ● From page A1 2,200 residents and their families a year. That’s only about 15 per cent of the 15,000 York residents with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Both Freid and Dr. Giovanni Marotta, clinical adviser to the CBAO seniors day program, are worried about the impact of the growing population of Alzheimer’s and dementia patients on the health care system.

“There are 360,000 cases of dementia in Canada and every minute, a new case is diagnosed,” Marotta said. “Dementia is ranked fourth in the world for disease burden and that’s increasing.” The day program, sponsored by CBAO and Active Green + Ross, helps clients perform to the best of their cognitive and behavioural abilities while also giving caregivers a break, Marotta said.

“What also makes our program unusual is that it has come from generous donors from within our community. They’ve seen the gap in care and the suffering within our Italian-Canadian families with long wait lists,” he said. “We have a number of day programs here in the Greater Toronto Area but the wait lists are long. Last year, wait lists for clients in the Vaughan area were approaching one year.”

The centre looks like a light industrial workplace rather than a nursing home or community centre. “Many individuals with dementia are afraid that the usual day programs in nursing home settings are a preparatory step to get them ready for (a) nursing home,” Marotta said. “(At CBAO), it is just the opposite. We also know that many of our elders with dementia were blue

collar workers who had little time for hobbies. The program tries to invite them into a return to a work environment, which is a familiar setting for them. They are more receptive to the physical, mental and social exercises inherent in the program structure.” Maintaining intellectual and functional abilities allows people with dementia to hold on to their independence and avoid nursing home care for longer, Marotta said.

2nd Concession open once again in East Gwillimbury

When York Region closed 2nd Concession in the fall of 2014, we knew we were in for a long, however much-needed construction project. This wasn't just a simple road closure but was actually three major improvement projects in one. The work consisted of: &bull;Road widening and realignment, including new bridges over the Holland River and GO Transit train tracks, bike lanes and street lighting &bull;Installation of water and sewer infrastructure &bull;The construction of pumping stations as part of the York Durham Sewage System In an effort to minimize disruption to those living, working and travelling in the area, York Region incorporated the three projects into one job to limit future disruptions along the road. Due to the large scale of work, this was the largest road project York Region's Transportation Services department ever tendered

The additional land enables hikers and cyclists to travel to Yonge Street on the Nokiidaa Trail and will help the future of the lake to lake trail system between Lake Simcoe and Lake Ontario. Part of the trail network includes the installation of a new boardwalk. Although it remains under construction, I had the opportunity to walk along the path and can easily visualize the exciting features we will see when it opens to the public next summer. It has been constructed out of Douglas Fir for its strength to endure wear and tear and Hemlock as its texture will blend nicely with the natural context of Rogers Reservoir.

When York Region developed the project, East Gwillimbury council expressed the need to have the Nokiidaa Trail cross below the road so pedestrians and cyclists could avoid crossing the busy street. Additional improvements also include a below grade train crossing, allowing the train to proceed without crossing the road and without blowing its whistle in the residential area. One of my favourite parts of this project is the trail enhancements and interconnection between the Rogers Reservoir, Noki-

Once it is all finished, you will see that the wetlands will be planted in a way so they visually integrate with the

area's natural surroundings. There is still work to be done and final touches are to be completed by summer 2017. Work will include completing the bridges, landscaping and paving the top layer of the road. Please continue to be cautious

when driving this area and be mindful that you are still in a construction zone. I hope you have all enjoyed the road reopening as much as I have and will take the opportunity to walk or bike along the new trails when they open to the public this summer!

Savour the flavour of wines produced in York Region AMANDA PERSICO apersico@yrmg.com Spend a nice crisp, fall day savouring the flavours of fruitful whites, fullbodied reds and awardwinning ice wines produced from grapes grown close to home. According to Wine Country Ontario, York Region is one of four emerging wine regions gaining notoriety among wine connoisseurs. York's wineries are located within the Oak Ridges Moraine and Holland Marsh areas, where the makeup of the soil and climate mirrors that of Ontario's premier wine destination, Niagara-onthe-Lake. "People always say, 'I never could imagine growing grapes in Stouffville'," said Antonio Piro of Gallucci Winery, who grows about three different varieties of grapes on 10 acres off Ninth Line. "I tell them, 'Come and see the grapes growing.' You don't have to drive an hour a half to taste fine wine. It's here." The winery is surrounded by grapevines and sits in a valley part of the Oak Ridges Moraine. The breeze from Musselman's Lake lends to vibrant flavours, Piro said. The family owned and operated winery officially opened in 2014 showcasing the 2013 Don Paulo special red, a blend of merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon - the wineries oldest vintage. Now the winery has about a dozen different wines for every taste. Just a few minutes down the road is Willow Springs Winery, the first winery in York Region to receive a VQA Ontario certificate and the first to produce VQA wines in the Oak Ridges Moraine. The cool climate and lime stone found in the soil creates light-bodied

"It's very similar to Niagara-on-the-Lake," he said Willow springs, founded in the late 1950s, grows four different varieties of grapes on 11 acres and produces about two dozen wine selections, including a number of awardwinning red and white ice

wines all using traditional techniques. The third winery with roots in the Oak Ridges Moraine is home to a different type of vintage apple and fruit wines. "Every wine is completely different than anything you've ever had," said winery owner Matt Passafiume. Applewood Farm Winery has been making wine from the fruits harvest-

ed on the family owned orchard since 1999. Fruit wines are made using the same method as wine made from grapes, using the clear fruit juices for whites and whole fruits for reds, Passafiume said. "We're not a grape farm," he said. "So, we make wine from what we have. At the start, there were disbelievers." There are more than a

dozen different varieties of wine made from strawberries, apples, blue berries and even honey as well as a collection of hard apple and ice ciders. Applewood released an Apple Jack this year; an iced apple cider meets bourbon whisky flavours. Every wine has the Passafiume fingerprint, from growing and harvesting the fruit to naming the wines - popular

wines Elora, Eden, Evan and Ella were named after Passafiume's children. In the north, Holland Marsh Wineries is nestled in one of the richest agricultural areas in the province and specializing in small batch reds, whites and ice wines. Situated on the edge of the marsh brings a citrus aroma and food-friendly and fruit-forward wines, similar to those found in Eastern Europe, said winery spokesperson Jill Jambor. The marshlands are a combination of muck soil and sand, with plenty of organic material such as decomposed tree roots, which helps retain and release heat from the sun helping ripen the grapes. The winery has about 22 acres and produces about a dozen different wines with a handcrafted approach. The grapes are grown, destemmed, fermented, aged, bottled and labelled by hand, Jambor said. Many visitors are surprised to see a vineyard this far north, she added. The winery uses a wind machine that forces warmer air down to the vines during the winter and spring months. While its grapes are not grown in York Region, Magnotta Winery's Vaughan location is a must see destination. The flagship winery features state-of-the-art wine making and bottling facilities as well as a microbrewery, distillery and underground barrel cellar. Magnotta produces more than 180 world class wines from reds, whites, ros&eacute;, sparking, dessert, premium VQA vintages and ice wines. The Vaughan boutique also houses a large collection of Canadian artwork as well as pieces by the Group of Seven that serve as inspiration for the winery's labels.

Salvation Army offering aid to families this Christmas New, unwrapped toys and non-perishable food items are needed Chris simon csimon@yrmg.com

A few toys and a hamper of food can make a world of difference to a struggling family. That's the motivation driving the Salvation Army of Central York Region's 2016 Christmas assistance program, which is already well underway. Right now, a team of volunteers is seeking applications from residents in the Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Aurora, Bradford, Schomberg and Stouffville area. They hope to help about 1,200 families this year - or about 2,500 children. "The big thing is getting an application," Army community and family services director Ray Varkki said, at Santa's Workshop, a temporary sorting location at the former Canadian Tire building in Aurora. "Every child gets a larger value item, a moderately priced item, books, stocking stuffers and a stuffy. Everyone gets a board game and a puzzle because they instil family values and bonding. A son or daughter will want to play with mom or dad. Here, we'll even pack some things for grandparents. We're

Glenda and Brian Bishop of Salvation Army Central York, Nanci Dunster,of the Upper Canada Mall and Nancy Harrison of Salvation Army kick off 2016 Christmas Kettle Campaign, Thursday. Kettles can be found throughout the region in the coming days and weeks. Funds raised support the work of The Salvation Army during the holliday season and throughout the year. trying to instil dignity." New, unwrapped toys and non-perishable food items are needed, he said. The program runs in collaboration with the York Regional Police Holiday Heroes effort and the Newmarket Lions Santa Fund. "We also have a pile of indi-

viduals who come," Lions representative Kirby Brock said, noting single residents and couples also receive food and clothing through the program. "We work together with the Salvation Army. We really work hand-inhand with them." Applicants are required to provide proof of address and

income and two pieces of identification to qualify for assistance. However, they are also treated with respect. When each applicant fills out a registration form, they are asked to provide information on the interests of their children. The volunteers then attempt to provide relevant gifts. "We want to make sure it's a

positive experience and people feel good about coming here," Varkki said. "This is not about being down and out or asking for a handout. You meet people and make friends. If you tell me your eightyear-old loves Lego Spiderman, that's what he's going to get at Christmas." While the toys will be available for pickup by appointment over the next few weeks, food hampers will not be given out until Dec. 19 and 20. Donations can be dropped off at the former CTC, at 14700 Yonge St., Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bins are also available at sites throughout the area, including Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket and Costco in East Gwillimbury. While donations will be accepted until Christmas, ideally, they'd like all contributions dropped off by Dec. 15, Varkki said. Over the next few weeks, donations will also be collected at local Santa Claus parades, he said. Applications for assistance can also be dropped off at the former Canadian Tire, the Army's Northridge Community Church (15338 Leslie St. in Aurora) or the Newmarket Food Pantry (1251 Gorham St., Unit 8 and 9). For more information on the program, volunteering or applying for assistance, contact the Northridge church at 905-8956276 or visit northridgesa.com.

Motorists urged to be prepared for winter weather "The easiest way to describe it is you steer where you want to go," Const. Clint Stibbe said. "The reality is in some cases when you do that, you overcorrect and then the vehicle begins to swing back the other way. You now have to compensate for that correction and you have to do it immediately. If you have to sit there and think about it, you're not prepared ... (and) you'll be out of control and involved in a collision." Snow could hit Toronto on Sunday, and police see a spike in collisions whenever there's a sudden change in weather conditions. Stibbe said motorist behaviour should also change by slower driving and no sudden braking. "We depend so much on our safety system in the cars. In some cases we're

Andrew PAlAmArchuk apalamarchuk@insidetoronto. com Motorists should get themselves and their vehicles ready for winter driving before the bad weather hits, CAA and Toronto police urge. "The weather is set to turn, and we want to get drivers thinking about how to be best prepared and to stay safe in these conditions," CAA spokesperson Jeff LeMoine said. "Changing your mindset so that you're more patient, leaving yourself more time and space on the road, all of those things will help to keep us all safe." Police and CAA held a media event in Etobicoke Wednesday morning where officers used a special "skid car" to demonstrate techniques to get out of a skid.

CAA communications consultant Jeff LeMoine displays items that make up a vehicle winter emergency kit for safe driving during the season. putting so much faith in them that we're overdriving the road conditions and the safety systems and essentially putting ourselves out of control."

LeMoine said vehicles should also be made ready for the winter. "You want to make sure your lighting system is fully working," he said.

"Your windshield wipers should be functioning well because if you can't see through your windshield it's unsafe, and make sure your washer fluid is topped up, that your oil is in good standing." LeMoine also suggests having a survival kit and an emergency roadside kit in vehicles. The kits should include a snow brush, an ice scraper, a shovel, a first aid kit, extra clothing, a flashlight, extra windshield washer fluid along with food like granola bars and bottled water. Having Kitty Litter is also a good idea. "If your vehicle becomes stuck in a situation where the tires can't grip the surface of the road, sprinkling some Kitty Litter near the tires can sometimes help you gain just enough traction to get out of that situa-

tion," said LeMoine. CAA also recommends having a set of four matching winter tires installed for better traction. "They do make a large difference over all-season tires, and they can help reduce your stopping distance by up to 25 per cent," LeMoine said. CAA offers these additional tips for winter driving: • Stay on main roads • Keep a phone charger in your car • Avoid using overdrive or cruise control • Slow down and move over for emergency vehicles • Never pass a snow plow on the right-hand side • Practice emergency braking to understand how your vehicle will react • Ensure your gas tank is always above half full

YRMG Santa Fund helps families give kids a happy holiday LIsa QUeeN lqueen@yrmg.com There was little joy in the first Christmas Jolyana Hamoodah spent in Canada with her young children. While the native of Iraq was grateful to be in the safety her new homeland, she missed her family back home and had no money for gifts or a special meal to make the day brighter for her daughter and son. The small family spent the day watching TV in their Newmarket apartment while Hamoodah, a single mother, tried to hide her tears from Leza and Christian. "Christmas was just Christmas with nothing. We just stayed at home watching TV. I was just crying, crying and I don't know what I have to do. I called my family and they tell me it's OK. It was snowing and we don't have a car, we don't have anything. No friends. It's hard when you don't have family or friends or anyone," the single mother of Leza, 6 and Christian, 3, said. "But last year was different. People gave us gifts. My children were so happy and we feel that we have something special in Canada." Last year was brighter because Hamoodah became a client of York Region Media Group's Santa Fund. Run by YRMG, which publishes local community newspapers and yorkregion.com, the fund supports families in need throughout the holiday season through partnerships with local charities and volunteers who act as "elves" to collect, buy and distribute food, clothing and gifts. Hamoodah was matched to the Santa Fund through Catholic Community Services of York Region's Welcome Centre Immigrant Services. The annual campaign, which has been running

for more than a decade, makes a real difference in the lives of clients, settlement counsellor Zully Zambrano said. "Several Welcome Centre families have benefited from your team's efforts in finding a sponsor and securing gifts, wrapping up all the presents and delivering them as Santa Claus to their homes," she said. "On behalf of the CCSYR Settlement Services and (the) Newmarket Welcome Centre, thank you very much for your generosity and hard work in providing joy to more than 60 families who immigrated to Canada looking for a new home and a peaceful place to live." The Santa Fund has also helped clients with

other agencies. "On behalf of our St Vincent de Paul Christmas Programs we sincerely thank the Metroland Media's Santa Fund for their assistance again this year," St. Vincent de Paul Christmas program chair, Brian Kressler, said. "Through their generosity we are able to help make Christmas brighter for many less fortunate families and individuals. The gifts and food that they have provided will bring joy to many this Christmas season." Built on connections in the community, the Santa Fund empowers families in need by providing them with the joy of being able to give their children both holiday gifts and the necessities of winter - clothing

and food, advertising manager Tanya Pacheco said. "Being a mother of a small child, watching their face light up when they open up a gift that was really something that they wanted, having them throw their arms around you because they're so happy, that's what this program does," she said. "This program gives those families the opportunity to have just a really amazing holiday season where they sit and watch their kid open up something and have their child believe they were the ones that provided that for them." While parents always ask for clothes, diapers, food and small presents for their children, Santa Fund elves always provide

some items such as personal hygiene products or pyjamas for adults, which could include seniors in need from the community, Pacheco said. The Santa Fund helped bring joy to her family, Hamoodah, who is studying English with hopes of becoming a police officer, said. "I was so happy when I heard about it. Honestly, thank you so much. My children were so happy and everything was great. It was amazing," she said. The family received non-perishable food items and several toiletries that lasted for seven months. The children got winter clothing. Six-year-old Leza, who wants to be a mermaid when she grows up,

received a Barbie Frozen doll, while three-year-old Christian got an action figure of a Power Ranger, which is what he wants to be when he grows up. "(Without the Santa Fund), It would be a lot of sad and it can't feel like it is Christmas if somebody doesn't give (the children) gifts or make you happy," Hamoodah said. "It's hard. I cry for my mom because I miss her but it's OK because we have family now. We have you (Santa Fund donors), we have Zully, we have the Welcome Centre, they always help me with everything." If you would like to contribute to the Santa Fund, call YRMG at 905-853-8888 or email Pacheco at tpacheco@yrmg.com.

Tips to prepare for winter storm Winter is here and with it comes an increased risk of a blizzard or ice storm. The following is a list of five major things you can do to prepare yourself and your family for winter storms. ● ’Winterize’ your vehicle. Make sure to change to winter tires, check your antifreeze, keep extra windshield washer fluid and always keep an ice scraper or snow brush handy. It’s always a good idea to check if your vehicle’s heating is fully working, you don’t want to be caught in subzero temperatures with a broken heating system. ● Own a good shovel or snowblower. It goes without saying that having a durable shovel or snowblower is absolutely critical to surviving a Canadian winter. Remember to stop shoveling if you feel any pain or risk to your health.

● Salt the ice. It’s a good idea to keep a bag of salt to remove ice. Sprinkle the salt on top of the ice and let chemistry do the work for you. Make sure to keep salt away from your vehicle however, as it can cause rust. ● Maintain your home heating. Check your home heating system to make sure it’s fully functional for the winter season. Properly seal your ducts and windows so no heat escapes the home. Clean your furnace and change your filter for optimal heating. ● Avoid frostbite. Frostbite is damage to the skin and tissues due to freezing and most often occurs at our nose, fingers and toes. You can prevent frostbite by limiting your time outdoors in cold, wet or windy weather, and dressing in several layers of warm clothing including gloves, a hat and warm socks.

Experts’ Advice Put your trust in a local professional...they’re here to help you!

Heating & Air Conditioning

NANCY McKERAGHAN

How do I know which furnace I should buy for my home? The first thing you should do is to arrange for an in-home consultation with a reputable contractor. There should be NO charge for this appointment. A heat loss calculation should be performed to determine the correct capacity of the equipment. It is not good enough to simply replace what is already there or to go by the home’s square footage. You should be asked about any issues there might be with airflow or any concerns that you might have about your system so that solutions can be factored into the proposal. Most manufacturers make comparable equipment, so one is not necessarily “better” than another. The difference will be in the installation. That is why it’s important to choose a local contractor with licensed technicians whom you can trust.

Traffic Ticket Advocates

Should I fight this ticket myself? Granted you have the right to defend yourself in traffic court, I don’t advise it. There is little or no tolerance, by insurance companies, for infractions on your record and the courts are exercising their power where penalties are concerned. There are very few tickets that I would recommend you take care of yourself. Hire a professional in the field to take care and fix your problems. It is important to know your options…I always recommend that you take advantage of my FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION. When you want Professional Representation on traffic matters, call...

When do I put my snow tires on?

I read this summer that flossing is a waste of time and there is no evidence that it is beneficial for you. Is that true!?

Who actually stands behind a flooring warranty?

Mike McGraw

Any time now, as the winter weather has started. Also, have your brakes cleaned and serviced to keep the salt from seizing up the sliders and pins that keep the brakes moving properly. Don’t forget to get your battery tested as well. DRIVE SAFE AND ENJOY THE WINTER SEASON 30 Charles St., Newmarket 905-898-0514 www.mrmsauto.com

Foot Health Sarah Chan

What are custom foot orthotics? These are specially-made shoe inserts that are designed specifically for each individual. They are worn inside the shoe to provide correction and comfort to the foot. Because they are made from scratch for each individual and are based on a custom mold or 3D scan of the foot, they are a more effective choice to treat foot and leg problems compared to off-the-shelf shoe inserts. It is best to consult a chiropodist (foot specialist) about how a custom foot orthotic can benefit you.

Dr. Neal Mortensen

There has been a lot of controversies lately over whether flossing is necessary after an article came out this summer denouncing its need. Patients at my office were jumping for joy, for now, they no longer needed to lie about how often they flossed or if they flossed at all! Studies on flossing have not proven irrefutably that flossing is beneficial. These studies done in the past have been of small sample sizes (not enough participants) or have not been of a long enough duration to give practical results. So there is no definitive conclusion...yet. We all know that brushing your teeth is beneficial so why wouldn’t flossing do the same? If it makes sense to clean the fronts and backs of your teeth then why not in between!? If that makes sense to you then flossing is an easy, efficient, and cheap method to access the areas the toothbrush cannot get at. You don’t need a study to tell you it’s the right thing to do.

At Carpet One Floor & Home™, there are many people and companies who provide warranty and assurance on your purchase. For example, let’s look at our best selling carpet collection, Relax It’s...Lees™. The carpet itself is warranted in combination by Carpet One™ (both retailer and corporately), the carpet and fibre manufacturers, and 3M ( who provides the Ultra 25™ “No Exclusions” Stain Warranty and Scotchgard™ Protector). The installation is honoured by both Carpet One Floor & Home and the installation technicians.

Shanghai Acrobats will perform miraculous feats at the Flato Markham Theatre on Nov. 25 and 26.

Culture, diversity take centre stage at Markham Theatre amanda Persico apersico@yrmg.com Experience the world of culture through the live arts. This month, the Flato Markham Theatre brings diversity and culture to the stage with performances by the Shanghai Acrobats and Sampradaya Dance Creations. The Shanghai Acrobats presents "Shanghai Nights," Nov. 25 and 26, a dreamlike story about a boy who becomes friends with a phoenix. Sampradaya Dance Creations presents "Pralaya," Nov. 29, a tale of dynastic conflict, chaos and mystery. "These productions have immense cultural value," said Flato Markham Theatre general manager Eric Lariviere. "There is so much to learn from other cultures. The programs we offer are unmatched in the GTA, we are leading the way in

making diversity a priority." "Shanghai Nights" is a performance set to amaze where confounding contortions, aerial skills, twirling lanterns, hoop diving, unicycle troupe and gravity-defying acts take centre stage. While the story is about a boy who befriends a phoenix, the performance showcases the delicate tensions between pageantry and precision, and beauty and balance. Over the past 50 years, the Shanghai Acrobats has become one of the most competitive acrobatic companies in China. The Flato Markham Theatre will host several performances of "Shanghai Nights" - Nov. 25, 10:30 a.m. and 8 p.m., and Nov. 26, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Sampradaya Dance Creations, an award-winning South Asian dance company, joins forces with distinguished Balinese choreographer and

master of Topeng mask dance, Wayan Dibia to create "Pralaya" - a modern retelling of the Indian epic "Mahabharata." "Mahabharata" is a story where feuding families are torn between lust, revenge, greed and ambition for the throne. An epic game of dice decides who will reign and who will flee. "The 'Mahabharata,' the epic poem on which 'Pralaya' is based, was composed thousands of years ago and is as relevant today as it was when written," said Sampradaya's artistic director Lata Pada. "Pralaya" brings this epic game of dice to life through a fusion of Indonesian and Indian dance, shadow puppetry and masks. There is one performance of "Pralaya," Nov. 29 at 8 p.m. at the Flato Markham Theatre. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit markhamtheatre.ca

Live radio play of It's a Wonderful Life slated this weekend ali raza aliraza@yrmg.com Watch - and hear - the 1940s reanimate with the Stouffville Theatre Company's live radio play It's a Wonderful Life. Known as the classic Christmas story based off the 1946 film, STC presents the same story in a format not so common in theatre. "The setting is a 1940s radio studio," said director Christine Fraser. "You'll see characters with old 1940s costumes and old-style microphones. At the radio station, it's their Christmas Eve presentation of It's a Wonderful Life." "The imagination is that it would be broadcast on radio," she added. For residents getting in the holiday spirit, there are two performances

scheduled; first on Friday, Nov. 25 and the second on Saturday, Nov. 26. Both performances are at the Parkview Village Auditorium and start at 7 p.m. Seven actors will play 30 different characters in changing costume, voice and music. Fraser says a sound effects table will make the show more engrossing. "You should be able to close your eyes and between the music and the live sound effects and the different character voices, the play comes to life," Fraser said. It's not just live radio, as the show will still feature visual props, including costumes and props. Indeed, there is a diverse array of characters all with unique roles and voices.

STC chose to perform It's a Wonderful Life because of the story's popularity and for a chance to combine music performances with a unique show format. It's the company's third show this season; the theatre season runs from September to June. Their last show Dial M for Murder was held in Uxbridge and received "positive feedback", Fraser said. Fraser implores residents to see the show, guaranteeing a "night of all-round entertainment." Parkview Village Auditorium is on 12184 Ninth Line. Tickets are $15 at the door or online at www. starticketing.com The Stouffville Theatre Company has been active for the last four years, performing shows in Stouffville and Uxbridge.

New Town Cabinetry Inc.

Raiders carry experience into OFSAA John Cudmore jcudmore@yrmg.com The Newmarket Raiders are no strangers to the biggest show in high school basketball. With a core of players that has been to OFSAA in all four years of their careers, they will at least understand what to expect when the top 16 girls senior teams gather for the triple-A championships in Toronto. The Raiders hauled down the fifth seed for the tournament when the schedule was released Monday. That slot translates into an opening round assignment against No. 15-ranked Peterborough's St. Peter's Saints when the three-day tournament tips off Nov. 24. Newmarket enters the tournament with plenty of OFSAA experience. For the core of the team,

it is the fourth consecutive trip to the provincial finals and, overall, the school's fifth straight visit. Last season the Raiders reached the quarterfinal round. "I don't mind five at all," said Raiders' head coach Gad Perlmutter, whose team won Newmarket's fifth straight OFSAA title last week with a 54-32 victory over crosstown rival Denison Huskies. "The four teams in front of us are really good. Frankly, I thought we'd be at seven or eight." The powerhouse Raiders breezed to their preseason target of reaching OFSAA with little challenge from York Region opponents. Perlmutter is hoping his team can take the next step. It's a big one, though. "At the start of the season the goal was to play

Saturday, for sure," said Perlmutter. "The highest goal we've set is to reach the final four. The top four is quite an elite group. I'd really like to see us beat some real good teams." Nerves are sure to be present but the experience of three past OFSAA tournaments at the top level could help calm matters. "I think that experience is going to help some girls be not as nervous," he said. "I think they are excited so we'll see." At double-A, Denison tips off Thursday afternoon as the 10th seed in the 20-team championship tournament. The Huskies will face No. 12 seed Nelson Lords (Burlington), a second entry from the Golden Horseshoe Athletic Conference. Game time is 3:30 p.m.

Hurricanes to make use of schedule break Last Week: Friday - Lost 3-2 (2OT) at Lindsay Muskies ... Thursday - Won 6-2 vs. Markham Royals. Coming up: Dec. 1 vs. Cobourg Cougars, Ray Twinney Complex, 7:30 p.m. Game notes: The Hurricanes erased one-goal deficits on markers by Brad Johnson and Cole Thiessen, the latter on a late powerplay, before losing in the final minute of three-on-three overtime on a penalty shot ... Against Markham, Owen Ramsay scored two goals and added two assists to run his point total to 10 for a five-game stretch. The Skinny: Despite the loss at Lindsay, the Hurricanes have earned seven of eight points from their past four games ... Todd Winder leads the Hurricanes in scoring with team best totals in goals (11) and assists (18) for 29 points in 27 games ... Ramsay is producing better than one point per game with

18 points in 16 games ... The Hurricanes entered a rare 12-day game break sitting five points ahead of Lindsay Muskies and nine ahead of the Aurora Tigers. Lindsay had played four fewer games, however ... Newmarket was credited with a season-high 56 shots against Lindsay ... The break comes at a timely juncture for the Hurricanes. First, it is right at the midway point in the schedule. But it's also free time for injuries to heal. Most notable hurts are goalie Brad Van Schubert and forward Joseph Mizzi. There is optimism both will be eligible to return to the lineup on Dec. 1 ... Former Hurricanes forward Daniel Leavens, now a senior at Robert Morris University, was named NCAA first star last week after potting two winning

goals against Sacred Heart University. He was a member of the Hurricanes team which advanced to the league final before losing to St. Mike's and Mitch Marner in 2013. Word play: "It's a unique opportunity," said associate coach Jim Wells, Jr., of the 12-day break during which the coaching staff is running an in-season mini-camp. "It's a chance to reset. We came on six weeks ago and were thrown right into games so this will give us a chance to implement everything we want. By the end all the players on the roster should have an exact feel for what we want." record: 9-150-2 ... 3rd in North Division, 8th in North-East Conference.

Huron Warriors tackle St. Max Mustangs in YRAA final John Cudmore jcudmore@yrmg.com The Huron Heights Warriors' powerful offence is always front and centre. Putting up at least 50 or 60 points almost every game is difficult to not notice. But behind a successful offence there usually can be found a pretty good defensive unit. The Warriors defence proved its front-line value Saturday night by backboning a 21-7 victory over the St. Maximilian Kolbe Mustangs in the York Region Athletic Association boys senior football championship game in Aurora. It was a rematch of the 2015 final in which the Warriors breezed to a 42-3 victory. The Huron Heights' defence was beaten for an 18-yard touchdown pass from Mustangs quarterback Ben Langlois to Nolan Lovegrove to cap a two-play drive covering 60 yards to open the second quarter. But aside from that play, preceded by a Huron Heights fumble near mid-field, the defence was stellar in leading the Warriors to their second straight regional title and eighth in the past 13 seasons. The keys: great field position which benefitted the Warriors for their final two scores to break a 7-7 halftime tie. Second, limit-

ing the damage inflicted by a pass-oriented St. Max offence led by Langlois. "The defence played hard and made good adjustments," said Warriors' head coach Al Rover, whose team now will look ahead to a berth in the OFSAA bowl series' Western Bowl on Nov. 30. "They played really well in the second half and late in the game. "Our offence used up a lot of the clock and took the ball away from them. They're a team that can strike quickly. Our defence made it tough for them to string together plays." The teams swapped touchdowns in the opening half. Huron scored on its first possession, a clock-munching 80-yard drive capped by a 30-yard run from Mike Strumos before the Langlois-Lovegrove hookup. Not surprisingly, dominant play by the offensive line made for an easier night on the defensive side of the ball. The Warriors defence won the field possession game, aided by a punting game from the Mustangs that struggled badly. "Our offensive line gave it all and blew it up all game," said defensive back and receiver Aiden Mielczarek, who was named game MVP. "Our defence showed what we've got. (St. Max) came out hard and matched our intensity

but we shut them down pretty well. Huron took the lead five minutes into the third quarter when quarterback Colin Grant crashed three yards to cap a quick scoring thrust following a poor punt which resulted in Huron Heights starting at

the Mustangs' 15-yard line. Mielczarek dashed 25 yards on a pitchout from Grant and outraced a Mustangs defender to the left corner flag to put the Warriors ahead 21-7 with five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. That drive started at the Mustangs

23-yard line, again after a short punt. The Warriors made it a difficult night for Mustangs quarterback Langlois who was hurried far more often than usual. "We had a few mental mistakes and plays that broke down but our kids really gutted it out tonight," said Mustangs' head coach Joe Gaudio. "It just wasn't enough to win. We had the right game plan but missed a few things. "Realistically, (Huron Heights is) a good team and it came down to whether our guys are up to the challenge. They did

great." The Warriors will face the Southwestern Ontario champions in the Western Bowl, in the finale to the OFSAA bowl series Nov. 30 at Tim Hortons Stadium in Hamilton. Earlier, Villanova Knights received two touchdowns from Ethan Hill in the first quarter and added scores by Anthony Romano and Spensor Burron to blank St. Brother Andre Cardinals 28-0 in the Tier 2 final. In a Tier 1 consolation final, King City Lions whitewashed Bill Crothers Colts 31-0.

Distant relative makes Cain's case for Hockey Hall john cudmore Cuddy Shark

Every scoring leader in the history of the National Hockey League has been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. All of them. Except Herbert James Cain. Somehow, the Newmarket native remains the only player to lead the NHL in scoring to not be inducted into the hallowed halls located in downtown Toronto. He even set a league singleseason record that held up for several seasons. Travesty? Oversight? Meanspiritedness lingering over too many decades? Too late? You do wonder. Tom Cain is working diligently to rectify what he considers an oversight toward his grandfather's cousin. The Toronto resident has been trying for eight years to get the 17-year pro into the Hall of Fame. He faithfully continues to push for Cain's inclusion into the ranks of the sport's great players of all time. "All I get back is a reply that it has been submitted," said a frustrated Cain in a recent telephone

interview. "I'm at my wit's end on this issue. Every covering letter with each year's submission is a little stronger than the last." It isn't clear how many obstacles stand in the way of Cain's path to the Hockey Hall of Fame, though it is speculated that his career peak scoring years and single season title are considered asterisk-worthy since they occurred during the Second World War when many high-end players were off to war. Cain's credentials seem satisfactory, wartime or not, says Tom Cain, on behalf of the deceased hockey star for the Montreal Maroons, Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins over 13 NHL seasons starting in the 1933-34 season. Stanley Cup champion with the Maroons in 1935 and Bruins in 1941. NHL scoring leader in a record-setting season. At least 20 goals, twice 30, during his 13 seasons in the NHL. He added 16 goals among 29 points in 67 playoff games. He holds Cain's numbers up to peers such as Gordie Howe, Rocket Richard and Max Bentley, all Hall of Famers. To compare: Cain led the NHL in scoring with a record 82 points in 48 games during the 1943-44 season, a total unmatched until Howe tallied 86 points in the 195051 season - in 70 games. In 1944-45, his 32 markers were surpassed by only Rocket Richard's landmark 50 goals in

Newmarket native Herb Cain (4), shown celebrating a Boston Bruins goal, is receiving a push toward the Hockey Hall of Fame from Tom Cain more than 65 years after he retired from professional hockey. 50 games. Bentley won two scoring titles in his career, including the season prior to Cain, neither time with more points than Cain compiled. "He was a good goal scorer and won two Stanley Cups," said Tom Cain, boldly. "I think he was a better player than Gordie Howe." Cain has submitted a nomination annually since 2011, except 2012 (missed deadline), and has received acknowledging correspondence from the hall. Then, nothing.

Cain speculates his ancestor, who came out Newmarket following a junior career with the pre-Memorial Cup champion Redmen, was condemned to the minors for his final years after clashing with the Bruins in a salary dispute after the 1945-46 season. It was an era in which players had zero leverage in contracts and negotiations. His final four pro seasons were spent in the American Hockey League with the Hershey Bears. "He was blackballed after he asked for a raise," said the younger Cain. "(Bruins' owner)

Art Ross was incensed and put him down to Hershey forever." Reaching out to several sources for help, including the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins, Bobby Orr, the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA), Don Cherry, and Montreal Gazette writer Dave Stubbs who penned a column in support of Cain in 2007, hasn't helped. "Herb was a trailblazer before the NHLPA existed," said Cain. "You would think they'd be more grateful. After 70 or 80 years I thought (the NHL) would be over it by now and be more relenting. I can't believe he has been overlooked this long but I feel I am making inroads." He says Hall of Fame director Jim Gregory once suggested there could be a spot in the builders' category but that was a few years ago. Nothing has since developed. HHOF's director of corporate and media relations Kelly Masse said Monday that while there no longer is a veterans' selection committee, there is still an avenue for players from past eras. She noted the nomination process is conducted on an annual basis. There is no statute of limitations. "Even if the Hall of Fame could do it and not make a big deal of it, that would be good," said Cain. Go to Cain's website at herbcain.com for additional information.
