’NOT EVERYONE IS HATEFUL’ LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com Imam Mohammed Bemat was moved when a woman dropped off flowers and a note at Newmarket’s mosque following Sunday’s mass murder of Muslim men during prayers in Quebec City. "It was very heartwarming," he said, adding the gift was one of dozens of messages of support the mosque has received after six men were killed and 19 others injured in the shooting at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Quebec. The note on the flowers brought to the Newmarket mosque was heartfelt. "To our Muslim friends, not everyone is hateful. I am so sorry for your loss. I am so sorry for the fear you are made to feel," said the message signed by Kathy L. The sentiment was echoed in as many as three dozen letters and emails sent to the Newmarket Islamic Centre, Bemat said. "It made us feel good. It made us feel like we had a strong com-

Safe Rail Communities’ Helen Vassilakos stands on the southern approach to the Howland Avenue rail bridge, near the site of an August derailment.
Advocates demand better protocol for train derailments HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com Advocates and municipal politicians are calling for more to be done to protect the public from hazardous materials transported through communities across the province. According to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, there were 144 accidents involving dangerous goods across Canada in 2015, and 33 incidents where a tanker leaked at least 200 litres of the dangerous material it was transporting. For years, municipalities have been asking for more information about what hazardous materials are travelling by train. And a recent train derailment in Toronto’s midtown neighbourhood of the Annex in August was a stark reminder that residents aren’t prepared for a derailment. Safe Rail Communities (SRC), a national, communitybased initiative based in Toronto, released a survey after the derailment asking residents how prepared they felt for a derailment. More than 80 per cent indicated they were not prepared. "There seems to be gaps between what is being done with respect to emergency planning at city hall, and knowledge getting to residents at the neighbourhood level, and that’s because there isn’t enough outreach to communities," said Helen Vassilakos, co-founder of SRC. At the Office of Emergency Management at the City of Toronto, a spokesperson emphasized they "don’t want residents to have a specific plan for a derailment, but an emergency plan for any eventuality, all hazards." Although Vassilakos agrees to the holistic approach, there is still a lack of information about derailment emergencies. "We feel that residents need to clearly understand what
"People need to know about the risks and hazards in regards to where they live. The more they know, the better they can prepare themselves and make short- and long-term decisions based on that." ˜˜Ali Asgary/York University the risks of living near a rail line ... in the same way that residents need to understand what the risks are when living in a low-lying area; risk of flooding or insurance implications," Vassilakos explained. She’d like to see a section dedicated to rail emergencies and a more detailed shelter-in-place resource for residents, similar to the one created by the City of Brampton, which informs residents, in detail, of notification protocols, how to prepare a shelter-in-place kit and a list of do’s and don’ts in the event of a derailment. Vassilakos has been working with Professor Ali Asgary, of the Disaster and Emergency Management department at York University, to develop the MySafeRailApp. The app uses yearly historical information rail companies are required to give to municipalities about the nature and volume of dangerous goods moving through cities. The app gives users the ability to determine if they live in an immediate impact zone for a large train derailment. "People need to know about the risks and hazards in regards to where they live. The more they know, the better they can prepare themselves and make short- and long-

term decisions based on that," Asgary said. "People really need to know what they’re up against." Users can input their address into the beta website and see a list of hazardous materials that have passed through the area. "Once that’s identified, it tells you what steps can be taken if it does happen: whether to shelter in place, or evacuate. It’s very basic information based on Transport Canada’s safety guide." At the municipal level, mayors and councillors have for years been requesting the federal government step in and promote better communication between the rail industry and local communities. The August derailment in Toronto prompted Coun. Joe Cressy to bring forward a motion, which was adopted by city council, that asks the deputy city manager to look at what a proper communications protocol should be because the city doesn’t have one. It’s something communities "desperately need," he said. "Although the derailment this past summer was contained, it exposed some real issues, one if which was the complete absence of formal communication from any level of government with residents ... They were left in the dark," said Cressy. "We recognize rail is a federal issue, but as a city, if we can improve communications in the absence of a proper federal protocol, then we will. The city will have to create its own." Cressy added there are things that can be done now with regards to rail safety, such as overhauling the railway management system and looking at alternative rail routes that don’t pass through densely populated areas. "If there is the potential for harm, no matter how small, we need to reduce that potential," said Cressy.

EDUCATION
Parents applaud ministry review of school board TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com York Region parents are calling it vindication. Education Minister Mitzie Hunter recently announced the launch of an urgent review of the York Region District School Board’s governance and equity processes. Patrick Case and Sue Herbert have been appointed to review and recommend improvements, especially when it comes to equity, accountability and transparency. A final report outlining next steps is to be submitted to Hunter by April 7. "There have been significant and growing concerns from parents and community members regarding governance and equity issues in the YRDSB," Hunter wrote in a statement. "These include allegations of systemic racism, concerns about the board’s equity and inclusive education policies, accountability for spending on trustees’ international travel and deteriorating relationships between the trustees, the director of education and the board’s senior staff." Unsatisfied that the issues
would be addressed following a meeting with the then school board chair Anna DeBartolo and education director Philip Parappally and a submitted action plan proposal, Hunter felt the need to launch the review that will also address rebuilding relationships between the education director, senior staff, trustees and the community. A coalition of community representatives joins the Vaughan African Canadian Association and the National Council of Canadian Muslims in giving the announcement two thumbs up. Last November, the NCCM and VACA filed human rights complaints on behalf of seven York Region families against the school board over the treatment of black students and issues of Islamophobia. Since then, a school board trustee issued an apology letter following a racial slur uttered to describe Woodbridge parent Charline Grant, who was one of the first parents to file a human rights complaint against the school board. "This has been a long and difficult journey for us, and our family is hoping that there will fi-

in the papers," she said. "I really want to see the board get back to the focus on student learning and achievement." She is anxious to see what the review report will conclude and the recommendations the reviewers will make. Parappally issued a statement welcoming the opportunity to work with the reviewers. "This review will foster a common understanding of how we need to move forward with our community, the board and staff members alike," he added. "I want to assure you that we take these issues very seriously, and will not shy away from the difficult conversations and the important work that lies ahead to address these concerns." In the same statement, Parappally said he would continue to update the community as information becomes available throughout the review process. He also acknowledged the board’s long-standing reputation for excellence and the good work that continues to take place in the schools and workplaces to advance student achievement and well-being.
ingful change for all York students and their families." YRDSBKids, a group of York Region parents who have come together to encourage the school board to increase its transparency and accountability, also questioned school board expenditures when trustees expensed not one but two trips to Finland. Former associate education director Avis Glaze remembers a time when YRDSB was held up as a beacon of education in Ontario. "York Region has been one of the best boards in the province, people acknowledge that," she said. She, along with former education director Bill Hogarth, worked hard to focus on student achievement, employee professional development, student leadership and parental engagement. Professionally, it was the place to be and job candidates flocked to the school board that was considered a trailblazer in the province. "There’s no doubt that the spotlight is there and I’m just hoping for the best in terms of a quick resolution to all those issues that I’ve been reading about
nally be some accountability for how our son was treated," Grant said. "Our struggle has always been about ensuring that all students, no matter what their backgrounds or heritage, are treated with fairness and dignity. We welcome this review wholeheartedly." Some parents at a Jan. 27 news conference shed tears as they stood outside Thornhill’s Stornoway Crescent Public School in Markham and relayed stories of the suffering and isolation their children experienced as they encountered racism from students and staff within the school board. The experiences included a boy being handed a Ku Klux Klan hat by another student and another student being beaten by a peer. On both accounts, the parents felt their complaints were swept under the rug and sufficient consequences were not doled out to the offenders. "We look forward to the findings of the review," YRDSBKids group’s Naeem Siddiqi said. "We hope they will provide the ministry with the necessary information to institute real and mean-

HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com Budget deliberations continue this week with a 4.9-per cent increase over last year on the table to cover $38,870,800 required from the tax levy to support a total $86,626,410 proposed budget. That would mean an extra $88 in taxes on an average property value of $327,140. The draft budget breaks down between $40 million in operating expenses, almost $15 million in capital
expenditure, $24 million for water and waste water infrastructure and $7 million in contributions to reserves. While 1 per cent of the 4.9 per cent is being directed to capital investment regarding asset management, some of the primary cost drivers of the budget, according to treasurer Rebecca Mathewson, are population growth, staffing costs, reduced revenue reductions, hydro and gas costs, and contributions to town reserve funds. For example, despite
one of the largest single rebate cheques handed out by Hydro One to the town earlier this month for $376,360 as a result of energy savings from switching 4,230 street lights to LEDs, the town’s total hydro bill for all of its facilities and operations was $1.4 million. Mathewson further advised council during budget sessions last week that
an increase of 3.5 per cent from last year would be required to keep service levels at status quo without any new initiatives being added to the budgetary pie. Having said that, a number of new initiatives got the tentative thumbs up before final approval, including a number of new hires, $2 million for a multi-use recreational complex (MURC design), $1.7
million for road improvements and $240,000 for a design of a new $3.2 million fire station in Pefferlaw. Mathewson added staff will be looking at using long-term debt to finance big-ticket construction projects regarding the town’s capital assets. As it stands, the town will carry a debt load of close to $6 million in 2017. While roughly $25 mil-
lion in discretionary reserves and a $4 million projected year-end balance in obligatory reserves that include the federal gas tax, development charges and cash in lieu of parkland exist, an upcoming review expected to be tabled by August will clean up, consolidate and eliminate obsolete and/or accounts with balances less than $5,000.

Part of this funding could allow the design phase of the project to begin in order to have tender ready documents prepared. We have also reviewed staff’s recommendation for a new fire station in Pefferlaw. This year’s budget could see the design and drawings for the new hall. We would ensure that the history and involve-
ment of the Pefferlaw Lions and Pefferlaw volunteer firefighters are honoured and recognized in the new building. Both of these projects if formally passed in the budget on Feb. 8th will have reports coming back to council with further information on the next steps. We are also designing the replacement of the watermains on Burke, Garrett and West Streets in Sutton. Funding of just under 3 million dollars from federal and provincial governments has been applied for from the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund. The roads will also be resurfaced as part of the Roads Capital Plan. These are just some of the highlights of the budget discussions. Watch for more details after the budget is formally adopted.

ABOUT US
Trustee should resign over racial slur When allegations of racism and discrimination were levelled at the York Region District School Board last year - resulting in the Vaughan African Canadian Association and the National Council of Canadian Muslims filing a joint human rights complaint - it seemed impossible to imagine how things could have gotten worse. And then they did. Shortly after the press conference announcing the complaints, news broke that the YRDSB was investigating allegations a trustee, later revealed to be Nancy Elgie who represents Georgina, had uttered a racial slur, the N-word, in reference to a black parent during a Nov. 22 meeting about equity. With the conclusion of that investigation, Elgie emailed a letter of apology to those involved. In it, Elgie claimed she accepted responsibility for the slur and will attend an equity training session. She described herself as "overcome with shock and dismay" and said she "felt heartsick and deeply ashamed." She further claimed the N-word was not directed at parent Charline Grant but, rather, she was trying to explain Grant’s concerns as reported in the media. Perhaps, but how does one reconcile those sentiments with Elgie’s statements to the Toronto Star Dec. 8 where she said, twice, there was no merit in the accusation? Understandably, Grant isn’t satisfied with the letter and voiced concern about the lack of consequences. More than 1,000 parents have signed an online petition urging Elgie to resign. Newly appointed board chairperson, Loralea Carruthers, said she hears the parents, but noted neither trustees nor staff have the authority to make an elected official step down. Carruthers went on to say the people have their say on a trustee’s conduct at the ballot box, adding the incident wasn’t indicative of who Elgie is. That may be, but the board needs to send a strong message that this kind of conduct won’t be tolerated and request she resign. Perhaps a mechanism to force a trustee to step down could be explored as part of the probe announced by Education Minister Mitzie Hunter Thursday. Finally, we urge Elgie to truly accept responsibility for what occurred and step down voluntarily - without prompting. To do otherwise, runs contrary to the spirit of her apology and runs the risk of tainting any future steps the board takes to address its issues.

• LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Grateful for decision to protect nature Minister of Municipal Affairs Bill Mauro: Thanks for your recent decision to protect the MLE’S wetlands and forests in Georgina by turning down the proposed development by the DG Group. This decision is an acknowledgement of the importance of preserving the natural environment and will have lasting implications. As you are no doubt are aware, much of the credit for pursuing this issue must go to Jack Gibbons, chair of the North Gwillimbury Forest Alliance, who has worked tirelessly to present a rationale to protect this Greenbelt. The citizens of Georgina are in debt to Jack’s effort and perseverance .On a more personal level, I am
thankful that now I can continue to enjoy this lovely area, grateful in the knowledge that it will remain undeveloped for years to come. Lorne Hicks

Raw milk legal elsewhere, why not here? I have read with interest the two letters supporting the sale of raw milk. I don’t drink raw milk anymore, but went through the Ontario Agricultural College at the University of Guelph, and all the strapping young sons and daughters of farmers I met grew up drinking raw milk. I have been to health food stores in the United States and have seen raw milk for sale. I understand that Canada is the only G8 country to outlaw it, supposedly because it is dangerous. How
is it that other countries know how to regulate a safe and healthy food, yet we are bullied into believing it is dangerous? The issue is good sanitary handling procedures. We can certainly make the sale of raw milk legal and stop harassing farmers and consumers who want to have this product that is natural and safe if handled correctly. Time for our politicians to listen to reason and not the hysteria of the protected diary industry that fears this niche market. Embrace it and make it available for those who may want to buy it.

Field wants fire dollars tossed from budget HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com The town’s 2017 budget deliberations have prompted a request to bump any major repairs and new stations for the Georgina Fire Department in favour of examining a regional fire service. Sutton resident Art Field, who ran for the Ward 4 seat in the last municipal election, has floated the idea of regionalization before. That was part of a request to the Region of York asking it to look into an amalgamation of the region’s municipalities, either in whole or in part, back in 2009. As part of the town’s public input process during 2017 budget deliberations, Field is requesting Georgina council defer any new construction or major additions for Georgina Fire Department

Furthermore, Field would like council to make a formal written request to all other eight municipalities within the region to collectively pass a motion at their own councils to support a proposed motion from Georgina to the region requesting a comprehensive review for the implementation of a regional fire service. While Field’s suggestions would apply to expenditures in the proposed budget regarding matters such as $240,000 for a consultant to design a new $3.2 million fire station in Pefferlaw, as well as significant expenditure in terms of equipment and repair, they do

The idea of a consolidated regional fire service has been bandied about for years, with various municipalities passing resolutions since 2013 requesting the region study the ins and outs of consolidation. Proponents contend anything with the potential to improve response times, increase available personnel and enhance safety for firefighters and the public should be explored. Concerns, however, have also been raised over purported savings actually playing out in reality, when it comes to consolidation. Tiered response, as well as streamlining medical and suppression calls between EMS, fire and police, have also been raised as areas of exploration under a blanket re-examination of fire services.

be developing a comprehensive strategic approach to building new fire halls that are strategically located in proper locations without the influence or hindrance of individualized municipalities and/or municipal boarders, whereby saving millions of dollars in unnecessary construction long term," Field says. The idea of a regional fire service has been floated in the past, both at town council and at the region. A 1997 ARA Consultants Group report, commissioned by the Region of York, as well as the region’s fire services committee review in 2001, demonstrated cost savings at that time in the millions of dollars, and improvement of services to residents as a result of consolidating the region’s eight fire services in to one regional unit.

TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com It’s doubtful his job description includes firefighting, but that’s just what York Region Equipment Centre service manager Todd Rickards found himself doing at a massive Keswick fire Jan. 26. Rickards said he was "in there when it was on fire", describing the blaze that burned down the business and the neighbouring Lucky’s General Store, at Ravenshoe Road and the Queensway South. Eleven employees work at the Keswick York Region Equipment location, and the business has another branch in Markham. East Gwillimbury and Georgina firefighters battled the blaze all through the day and huge black clouds of smoke could be seen for miles around. "We have an upper back storage area where electrical and filing is and I started fighting the fire up there," Rickards said. "We saw it was smoking and we started using the fire extinguishers, then it got to the point where

York Region Equipment Centre service manager Todd Rickards visits the site of what’s left of the business Jan. 27 after a massive fire destroyed it the previous day. it was too difficult. There was too much smoke and chemicals and the fire was too big, so then we got out of there." After calling 911, workers left and got whatever they could away from building, Rickards said. The cause of the blaze is under investigation, but Rickards believes it was an electrical problem. "The fire occurred right at a wall that had a lot of electrical in it, so I’m presuming it’s electrical that started this," he said. Nobody was hurt in the
blaze and insurance adjusters, fire inspectors and town employees were at the site Friday morning evaluating the wreckage. Rickards isn’t sure what the future holds for the employees who work at the Keswick site. "I was speaking with the owner this morning," he said. "He’s dealing with the insurance company, but we do have another location in Markham we can use. All of us can’t be there at once, so we might be rotating staff. I’m not sure at this point."

Communities offer condolences after attack l Continued from page 1
munity backing us," he said. Jahan Zeb, a member of the mosque, said Kathy L’s note had special meaning. "It was good to feel that, especially with what’s going on. Those were good words," the 19-year-old York University student said, adding he has also been saddened by U.S. President Donald Trump’s travel ban of citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries. An outpouring of shock at the mass shooting and support for the Muslim community has been expressed across York Region this week. An evening vigil was held Feb. 1 at the Markham Civic Centre. "The City of Markham, the Islamic Society of Markham and members of the community will stand in solidarity to promote harmony amidst this painful tragedy," a statement promoting the event said. "Sunday’s events in Québec are a reminder that we need to continue to engage and foster a greater understanding of inclusivity and celebrate diversity within our communities."’ Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Barrow expressed sympathies for the victims and their loved ones at Monday night’s council meeting. "We have a large Muslim community in Richmond Hill and certainly our prayers are with them, but also with humanity, with people who lose their lives and those who have to suffer that loss as members of families," he said. Aurora councillors marked a moment of silence at their council meeting Jan. 31 and Mayor Geoff Dawe is sending a letter of condolences. Meanwhile, security has been stepped up at a mosque in Vaughan in the wake of the shooting. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of York Region, which has a large mosque on Jane Street in Vaughan that counts thousands of members, has rallied volunteer youth and reached out to York Regional Police to make sure no attacks happen there. "We’re shocked and horrified at this attack," said Safwan Choudhry, spokesperson for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jammat. "We’re heightening security at all of our prayer centres from Newfoundland to British Columbia to make sure all of the members of our community feel safe. "We collaborate closely with the authorities. However, this one (attack) even shocked them and us. It points to how things can get very volatile, very quickly." The Ahmadiyya community did not have "any immediate threats we are aware of", Choudhry said. The Islamic Shia Ithna-Jamaat of Toronto, which operates the Jaffari Centre at 9000 Bathurst St. in Thornhill released a statement saying it "grieves for the devastating loss of life in an attack on a mosque in Quebec City. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims and those injured in the attack. "As proud Canadian Muslims, we strongly condemn any act of violence and believe that our strength as a nation will always come from our diversity, never our division. We commend the Canadian authorities on their swift action in apprehending the suspect." Any place of worship is a focus for police patrols, said Const. Andy Pattenden.

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS TRUTH? We live in an era when our news media outlets are purportedly serving up to the public malicious falsehoods, conflicting information and masking and muddling their research. “Fake News” is the new term and our society is quickly loosing faith and trust in the press. No one knows what to believe and we are becoming like ships tossed about in a stormy sea. We can be confident though that the Message contained in God’s Word – the Holy Bible – can be trusted and is reliable. First of all, it was “inspired by God” - that is, the writers wrote because God “breathed into them” what he wanted them to write. The Apostle Peter (2 Peter 1:21) assured believers “you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding, or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God”. Secondly, although there were 40 different writers of the Bible, writing over a period of 1500 years, separated by time and distance, they are all in textual harmony and also agree in fundamental doctrinal issues. We can have complete trust and faith in God’s preserved Word and He invites all to “Seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness”. We invite you to subscribe to our free quarterly magazine: “Light On A New World” to help you with your Bible study: Email: info@ontariodawn.com Write to: P.O. Box 931, Sutton West, On L0E 1R0
