SENIORS FIND FRIENDS FOR HOLIDAYS TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com It is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but for some seniors Christmas can be

lonely and a bleak period on the calendar. While younger people in the community are surrounded by friends and family able to travel and visit with loved ones, some se-

niors, either through loss or by circumstance, find themselves alone and sometimes far from family members. That is why Newmarket’s the Grandparent Connection, Noble-

ton’s Lions Club annual Christmas Dinner for Seniors and the region’s Home Instead Senior Care, in their own way, try to help

The Fandis and the Al Shteiwes have been involved in Christmas activities ALI RAZA aliraza@yrmg.com Seeing Christmas for the first time in Canada is quite the adjustment for Syrian families in York Region. As the holidays approach, Syrians reflect on what for many of them is their first experience of celebrating Christmas in North America, among a majority Christian population. The Fandi family in Stouffville arrived in Canada early this year from Jordan after fleeing their home in Daraa, Syria. They’ve adjusted to life here, constantly praising the hospitality and kindness they’ve received from their neighbours. But when it comes to holiday celebrations, they remember their old traditions. "Christmas is good," said Faisal, the father of the family. "But I don’t know much about it. We’re Syrians, we’re Muslims, so we’re just used to Eid and Mawlid an-Nabi." Muslims across the world, including those from Syria, traditionally have three major holidays in the year. Eid al-Fitr (Festival of Breaking the Fast), which is celebrated at the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. Eid al-Adha (Festival

of Sacrifice) which commemorates Abraham’s sacrifice to God. And Mawlid an-Nabi (Birthday of the Prophet) which celebrates the birth anniversary of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. Islamic holidays follow the Islamic calendar, a lunar calendar that lags roughly 10 days behind the Gregorian calendar. As a result, each year holiday dates move backwards 10 days. This year, one of the major holidays - Mawlid anNabi - landed on Sunday, Dec. 11, in and around the holiday season. The Fandis celebrated as expected with family, friends and a feast. But that doesn’t mean they’re not doing anything for Christmas. Their sponsor group Stouffville Cares - donated a Christmas tree, which they decorated and plan to surround with presents. "I like the tree," Thaer said. "We don’t have Christmas trees in Syria." On Christmas Day, the Fandis plan on spending time with friends and family, while their son Thaer, 12, plays hockey. "I want a hockey stick, a red and black one, because of the Stouffville Spirit, with white tape," Thaer said when asked what he wanted for Christmas. The Fandi children have been involved in Christmas activities in school, singing Christmas carols, baking cookies and having a Christmas pageant. The children have their own "gift draw," said sponsor Jason Wilson. "They’re very excited, we did a little draw, Thaer picked his siblings, they’re going to buy one gift for

each other," he said. "There have also been letters to Santa." The Fandis reflect on the stark difference they’ve noticed with Christmas celebrations in Canada versus Christmas celebrations in Syria and Jordan. "In Jordan, our neighbours were Christian," Faisal said. "They just go to church and spend time with their family." Santa Claus, however, does visit Christians in Jordan, they said. Faisal noted that shopping was a much more emphasized aspect of Christmas in Canada, something he didn’t expect. In Bradford, just north of York Region, another Syrian family is excited about Canadian Christmas traditions. The Al Shteiwe family fled Homs, Syria, and arrived in Canada in January. Ali and his wife Manjiye have 10 children, with their last son being born in Canada. The snow has been a particular joy for the children as they’ve spent most of the season building snowmen. "If it snows a lot and we don’t have to go to school, then we get to build a snowman and I love doing that," said Rachid, 8. Just like the Fandi children, the Al Shteiwe children have been actively involved in Christmas celebrations at school, helping with decorations and afterschool crafts. The Al Shteiwes had a smaller celebration of Christmas back in Syria, often with their Christian friends. "We would gather with

"But in Canada, everything is more beautiful. The streets look really nice and we like walking around instead of driving," he added. The family has decorat-

population, but the civil war has forced many to flee. Regardless of religious beliefs, the conflict has uprooted many families. Muslim or Christian the holidays are a time when families come together to celebrate, both the Fandis and the Al Shteiwes believe.

Where else can you go as a family, in your warm car, for free, and watch something like this?" Well, if you live in Markham, Captain Rolph Boulevard, near Hwy. 7 and Wootten Way, is the answer. Tim Brunt’s truly epic synchronized display has been bringing the neighbourhood together for years, right down to a festive and fun block party complete with treats and hot chocolate for the flipping of the proverbial "switch", which took place Dec. 2. Fun, funky, with touches of humour and great creative flair, "the show" all runs off a computer laptop in Brunt’s basement, as well as three main controller boxes for the main lights in addition to six smaller ones for individual elements that together total 12,000 lights. Being left in a potential state of shock over his hydro bill wasn’t a concern for Brunt, who says a combination of LED lights that are only on for moments at a time equates to a mere $8 or $9 extra on the bill. Besides, "it’s totally for the kids," he says.

That includes his own, who are nine, eight and three, and whose eyes are as big as their smiles over the display. As for any Scrooges who may not exactly be wired to appreciate the sheer enormity of brightly blinking, multicoloured lights blazing and dancing to some pretty rockin’ tunes with a few oldies thrown into the mix against a night sky? There aren’t any to be found in this neighbourhood. That includes Amy Friesen, who moved into the neighbourhood in August despite being told there was a "Griswold guy gone wild" who would be living right across the street from her new home. "For us, this is Christmas, and the whole spirit of the holidays," she says seriously. "My three kids love it and It brings everyone together. I’m excited to be a part of it." Tim’s wife, Colleen, says her husband loves Christmas and does it all for their kids and the neighbourhood. "He’s a big kid himself," she laughs. "He does this every year and, every year, he layers on more and more and more," she jokes. "It’s fun and it certainly

Some rockin’ holiday displays are lighting up the region and the season. Two "big kids" in Georgina and Markham are not only giving Christmas Vacation’s Clark Griswold a run for his money, but also sharing their love of the season with their respective neighbourhoods. Sean Johnston first put up a synchronized display with one simple controller in 2008, but he has since "lost count" of how many strings of lights go in to what can be described as nothing less than a spectacular display at his home on Bayview Avenue in Keswick. "My wife and I have this running joke that I’m not allowed to talk about Christmas lights until September," he laughs. That may be, but he is definitely planning, and programming, for months before actual setup, which takes about the entire month of November and represents a modest estimate of about $6,000 in equipment. It also takes between 10 to 15 hours to program a light sequence to one song, which means just over 100 hours and 100 channels went in to the 15-minute, synchronized version of lights gone wild to seven festive tunes, including everything from "Frosty the Snowman" to a souped-up version of "Up on the Rooftop" from Beyoncé. Yes, Virginia, there is some practicality behind the magic. The countless hours of computer programming, decorating, testing and probably more than a few moments of frustration and an insatiable desire to kick Santa to the curb are all worth it to Johnston. "I like doing it," he says simply. "I like sitting in my living room and seeing people pull up, hearing them laughing, and seeing the joy the show gives them. It

ABOUT US

Don’t forget less fortunate this holiday season Well, the holidays are here again and that means it’s time to indulge in a little festive food, partake in some eggnog, perhaps, and maybe even keep a keen eye out for the arrival of Santa Claus and the array of presents many children, young and old, hope that he has with their names on them. And while many of us count the days until this time of year rolls around again, for others in the community, the season is anything but holly jolly. Each and every year we hear the pleas from charities and other local nonprofit agencies about the need for both donations and volunteers to help make the season bright for the less fortunate among us. It’s all too easy to get swept up in the Each and every year annual excess and the we hear the pleas seemingly never-ending to-do list each of us from charities and has, but, if we’re able, other local nonprofit we should try and take even a moment out of agencies about the our hectic schedules to do our part to help need for both ensure that others can also have a reason to donations and celebrate the holidays. volunteers to help York Region is home to many charitamake the season ble agencies from those that operate bright for the less at the local fortunate among us. strictly level to others whose scope spans all nine municipalities and beyond. The fact of the matter is, poverty remains a massive issue in our society. Although a small gesture, donating a few non-perishable goods to the local food bank or making a small donation to a nonprofit organization may not seem to have that much of an impact, but if enough of us do it, it can make a big difference to others in our communities. By all means, enjoy spending time with your friends and family over the course of this festive season; just don’t forget that not everyone has reason to feel joyful without some assistance. If we can all pitch in, even a little bit, maybe we can make sure another family has a merrier Christmas or a happier holiday and, with any luck, a more prosperous new year. The countdown is on, but there’s still time to be generous to others. You’ll be glad you did.

the Housing Help Centre and its Identification Clinic, the only agency in the Region providing this type of service to a vulnerable sector of our community at a pittance in cost. How can the Region possibly justify ending the funding after 23 years? It is not like the need for this service is diminishing. On the contrary, with the growing crisis in the availability of affordable housing and the rise in the number of low and moderate income residents in York Region, the need for a service like this is even greater. Who will pick up the slack once this agency is gone? Ms. Urbanski, Commis-

sioner of Community and Health Services, says that the Region funds programs for low and moderate income residents that address service gaps in the community. Well, is this not a program that addresses a service gap? The impact of the loss of these services on the vulnerable members of our community who most need them will be immense, but who cares? These are the invisible who will just have to get by with one less helping hand. York Region, creating strong, caring, safe communities! Kathleen D’SouzaWhitchurch Stouffville

Last-minute holiday shopping tips Holiday shopping season typically begins in November and extends all the way to Christmas Eve. While thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a considerable amount of time for shoppers to find gifts for everyone on their shopping list, many people will still find themselves putting holiday shopping off until the last minute. In certain ways, last-minute holiday shopping is easier than ever. Thanks to online retailers who can ship products overnight, those who delay their holiday shopping have more options at their disposal than they did before the arrival of the Internet. And some shoppers find that competition between online retailers and traditional brick-and-mortar stores is so great that deals can be found regardless of when they begin shopping. But while waiting until the last minute to begin holiday shopping may not be as risky as it used to be, shoppers may still benefit by sticking to certain strategies so they can find the perfect gifts without

Christmas in Georgina Easy gift ideas for last-minute shoppers Early bird shoppers may purchase and even wrap gifts before December, but eleventh-hour shoppers may need some help come the holiday season. For those last-minute folks, there still are plenty of ways to ensure your shopping list is checked off. The following gifts are quick to purchase and can still make for thoughtful presents. 1. Liquor or wine basket: Prepackaged spirits often come with decorative glasses and other accoutrements for entertaining. What’s more, they’re convenient to purchase if you’re on a time crunch. 2. Fuelling station gift card: Drivers will appreciate a gift card to their favourite fuelling station. Such cards suit anyone who has a car and frequently

Christmas in Georgina How to make gift wrapping easier While holiday shoppers are often enthusiastic about finding great gifts for their loved ones, many are decidedly less excited about wrapping those gifts. Many holiday shoppers spend hours wrapping gifts each year, and as gift lists grow, so does the amount of time needed to get all of those presents wrapped, hidden, packaged and/or shipped. Shoppers can employ the following strategies to make the process go much more smoothly and to reduce gift wrap-related anxiety. t 3FMFBSO UIF CBTJDT Some people may think they know how to wrap gifts, only to realize itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder than it looks once the paper, scissors and Scotch tape come out. Relearn the basics by viewing online tutorials prior to wrapping gifts so the lessons learned remain fresh in your mind. Learn how to

wrap standard clothing gift boxes and recognize that such boxes can often be used to house oddly-shaped items. t 8SBQ BT ZPV CVZ Instead of getting bogged down with wrapping all in one evening, wrap presents as you purchase them. This ensures that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave everything for the last minute and reduces the likelihood that curious kids or inquisitive spouses discover gifts before the big day. t 8PSL PO B IBSE TVSGBDF It may be tempting to lay everything out on your bed and wrap gifts while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re binge-watching the latest Netflix series.

KEY MAP

During the winter, and especially after a storm, keep an eye on your natural gas meter and appliance exhaust vents. Snow or ice buildup could damage your gas meter, interrupt your gas service or cause an appliance to malfunction. This can create a serious safety hazard. For example, if your appliance vents are blocked with snow or ice it could cause your furnace to shut off or result in a buildup of dangerous carbon monoxide indoors. The Georgina Fire Department would like to remind residents to keep meters clear of snow and ice. For more great safety tips, visit enbridgegas.com

16 COMMUNITY

Lonely seniors get Christmas boost from caring community l Continued from front

isolated seniors feel better at this time of year. Valiera Luttrell, who established community group the Grandparent Connection with her 93year-old mother three years ago, has always had an "affinity for working with seniors." She said she and her mom saw a need to bring smiles to seniors and to connect community groups like Beavers and Scouts, as well as elementary school students, with seniors who don’t get out or receive much company. "We don’t host functions. We collect greeting cards and stuff stockings and distribute them to seniors, either in their homes or in long-term care facilities," said Luttrell. She said she has connected with all the longterm care homes in Newmarket and said there has also been interest in start-

ing similar groups in Aurora and Keswick. "But it takes time and it’s a lot of work," said Luttrell, who works full-time as an office administrator/bookkeeper and is also a caregiver for her mother. She said her husband also has an elderly mother so the family is kept busy. "There has been an amazing reaction to the gifts we have put together for our seniors. It’s been a very good response. "The primary students do artwork, pictures and cards for the seniors and it really brings out the smiles. They love it," said Luttrell, whose group also keeps up the good deeds throughout the year, not just at Christmas-time. For more information, visit www.thegrandparentconnection.com. In Nobleton, the Lion’s Christmas dinner for seniors is an annual can’t miss event for many oldtimers.

Paul Olsen of the Lions, who has been involved in the dinner for many years and at 72 is a senior himself enjoys taking part. Olsen, who says he is a "senior serving seniors", said the dinner started out with the Lions delivering poinsettias 30 years ago and eventually evolved into the 150-160-strong sit-down meal that takes place today. Olsen said the dinner is by invitation only, but that is just because if it wasn’t then the event would be overloaded. "We try not trying to exclude anybody, and if anyone needs to be included they can notify the Lions," he added. The main course is always roast beef, cake is dessert and there is a glass of wine for everyone who tipples. Most importantly, Olsen assures, a great time is had by all. "Some start arriving an hour early. We have the Girl

THE HOLIDAY SEASON With many doctors’ offices closed and walk-in clinics operating at reduced hours for the holidays, we want to remind you of some of the healthcare options available:

Guides come and sing Christmas Carols and oldtime fiddlers play music. We have a lot of people who are there year after year after year. They really look forward to it," he said. He also said it gives the Lions a chance to put their own group front and centre. "A lot of our support comes from older people and it’s an opportunity to get together with them on a large scale. So, I guess there’s an ulterior motive too," he said with a chuckle. Still, with some of the attendees not thinking they were old enough to attend "until they were 80," said Olsen, it’s a chance for many friends to see each other at least once a year. "They love the sense of community. It gives them a chance to get together," said Olsen. For more information visit www.nobletonlions .com. "Be a Santa to a Senior" is how Home Instead Senior

Event organizer and host, Vince Cancelli, tells jokes prior to everyone joining in a Christmas carol sing-a-long during the King Township Seniors Centre open house earlier this month. Care of York Region wants to connect local York Region community organizations and seniors who may be home alone this Christmas. The program aims to provide gifts to 100 seniors from members of the community through the support of nonprofit organizations, businesses and volunteers. "The holidays can be a troubling time for seniors.

They may feel the absence or the distance of loved ones," said Faryar Foroodi of the York Region Home Instead Senior Care office. "Be a Santa to a Senior provides a ray of hope for many seniors, and it means so much for them to know that people care and value them as members of our community.

Now I know there are some of you who don’t always look forward to winter like I do, but just think about all of the incredible recreational opportunities that we have here in Georgina. DAVE A good snowsuit can get you out and into some fresh air. We have some amazing trails here in Ward 3, so why not take a few hours for a winter stroll with your family and check out the Matthews Nature Reserve or the Metro Road Tract of the York Region Forest? Want something more adventurous? Lake Simcoe offers some world class ice fishing with some world class hut operators. Give them a call and they will take you and your family out and keep you safe for a minimal cost. Trust me, there is a reason why Georgina is known as "Canada’s ice fishing capital." Fishing not your thing? Then

how about taking up snowmobiling? It, too, is an amazing chance to be out in nature. Make sure to pull off the trails at one of our local eateries for a nice lunch too. Lastly, the Recreational Outdoor NEESON Campus should be opening soon. For those with families, the ROC is a great place to send the kids for a few hours of fun while you can stay warm in the chalet with a coffee or tea. Speaking of the ROC, our mayor and council’s New Year’s Levee will be on Saturday, Jan. 7 from 9 a.m. to noon. Come and meet your members of council for breakfast and then you can go tubing, snowboarding or skiing all on us! In closing, thank you for a wonderful 2016 and on behalf of my wife, Jacki, and I, we want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday season.

The cause of a Saturday night fire just off Hwy. 48 in Pefferlaw remains under investigation. Investigators with the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office and York Regional Police continued their investigation Monday after fire ripped through a three-story building used for storage on a Hwy. 48 property between the Green Acres campground and the CN tracks Saturday. Firefighters battled the blaze for several hours after responding

around 4:30 p.m., with tanker trucks from neighbouring Brock Township and East Gwillimbury called in to assist Georgina’s fire crews. Hwy. 48 between Pefferlaw and Lakeridge roads was blocked off to traffic for most of Saturday night. Total damages have yet to be determined, but the building suffered significant damage, as did its contents, which consisted of industrial machinery and some heavy equipment, Georgina Fire Chief Ron Jenkins said. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.

Hurt or sick on the holidays? Here’s what to do KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com t’s Christmas Eve and your child is ill. Do you bundle him up and head to the nearest hospital emergency department? That depends. This coming holiday period is the busiest time of the year for local hospitals and health care providers want you to know that there are other options. Heading to Emerg can be a knee-jerk reaction and not always the best choice, says Dr. Andrew Arcand, chief of the department of emergency medicine at Markham Stouffville Hospital. Arcand suggests that your first response, if you are ill or hurt and it is not an acute crisis, should be to call your doctor’s office. Some physicians and medical clinics will be open or offering extended hours over the holidays and most

leave space in their bookings for same-day appointments, he says. Others may not be open but have an answering machine message suggesting an on-call doctor to talk to after office hours. A second option is the TeleHelp line - 1-866-7970000 - a free provincial phone number offering round-the-clock advice, 365 days a year. A nurse will answer and help you decide if you should head to hospital. A walk-in clinic is the third alternative; some will be offering holiday hours. You may be able to search your local hospital’s website for the list of nearby Markham Stouffville Hospital. walk-ins and their hours.

ment, be prepared for a longer-than-usual wait time. "It’s a challenging time for health care. When everyone’s on holidays. we are working harder," Arcand says.

The annual City of Vaughan Menorah Lighting Ceremony will take place on Dec. 27 at the Garnet A. Williams Community Centre in Thornhill. of the Garnet Williams Centre, according to Shefman. As Hanukkah is being recognized during the last week of December, the event’s venue change is due to the weeklong holiday closure of Vaughan City Hall. Shefman anticipates an

active, busy and large crowd for this year’s lighting ceremony and looks forward to sharing the celebration with town staff and residents. The GAWCC is located at 501 Clark Ave., Thornhill. This event is free of charge. For more information, visit www.vaughan.ca

to save time, money and reduce waste For many families, shopping and preparing meals comes with a lot of food waste. On average, York Region households throw away $1,500 worth of food each year. Here are some simple tips to reduce food waste and save time and money:

Plan ahead and shop with a list (check your cupboards in advance to avoid buying duplicates)

Buy only what you need; bulk buying or buying on sale is only cost effective if the product is actually used

Choose recipes you can make ahead, giving you more time with your family and friends

Serve smaller portions; preparing or setting out more than they can eat is more food wasted

Freeze leftovers to enjoy later; soups, stews, pasta and casseroles freeze well

â&#x20AC;&#x153;HALLELUJAHâ&#x20AC;? CHORUS Over 270 years ago, G.F. Handel composed his three-part oratorio â&#x20AC;&#x153;Messiahâ&#x20AC;? and it has become a Christmas tradition to perform this great work in concert halls and auditoriums in many countries all over the world. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hallelujahâ&#x20AC;? Chorus is one of the most well-known musical pieces from this oratorio and it concludes the second of the three parts. To this day, it is a subject of study in schools, universities and features regularly in movies, television programs and even commercials. The text of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hallelujahâ&#x20AC;? Chorus is taken from the book of Revelation in the New Testament, chapters 11 and 19: Hallelujah! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ: and He shall reign for ever and ever. KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, HALLELUJAH! The words of this Chorus are the climax of the Christian faith â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the promise of Jesus Christ reigning over the whole world in righteousness and peace. Let us pray for the Kingdom to come and Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be done on earth.
