our-year-old Aurora resident Dominic Carlini said he’s ready to start kindergarten. His mom Shelagh Carlini agreed and said she is excited him to start school. But it is not without its difficulties. "You just well up when you think about your babies," she said with emotion in her voice. "I know that I’m probably going to take a thousand pictures of him getting on the bus." Dominic will be joining his older brother Gabriel, who is going into Grade 1. Their younger brother Michael doesn’t start school until next year, and Carlini said it will be different looking around the house without her two oldest sons. "You have to let go at some point," she said. "You just have to be there with open arms when they come running back to you, so excited about their day." She is not alone. Many parents often feel emotional, even anxious when their children start school. It is normal, said Janine Stutt, principal and leadership development and early years lead at York Region District School Board. "In some cases they are more nervous and anxious than the children," she added. Starting kindergarten is a big milestone. For some children it may be the first time away from their parents or caregivers. "But it’s also the end of their parents being the centre of their universe, so for a lot of moms and dads there is a nervous trepidation," said Alyson Schafer, parenting expert, therapist and author. It can be hard for parents because they are not there to help, and anxious parents might worry over the "what if" factor, Schafer said. "Your kid is one of 28 kids in the classroom, are they going to be safe, are they going to speak up, is someone going to bully them," she said. "There’s this whole other world of potential threats, and an anxious parent can dwell on the negative." There is also a change in identity.

LETTING GO How can parents prepare for the start of school LAURA FINNEY lfinney@yrmg.com "I don’t mean it in a derogatory way, we feign a tremendous sense of our own importance by being a parent," she explained. "We love being needed." As children get older they need their parents less. And once they start school, they start having relationships with other people and have other interests, she said. But Stutt said parents still play a really big role in their child’s education. "They are, as parents and families, their child’s first and most important teachers," she said. The role of the parent is to prepare their child to be a fully functioning adult said Schafer. "That means a lot of skill de-
velopment, how to be not only independent but also interdependent," she said. Parents should always be thinking of the end goal, she said, and that means doing less for them as they take on more of running their own lives. Stutt agreed, adding that kindergarten not only builds academic skills but also skills to be a life-long learner, like intellectual, creativity and problem solving. Here are some tips: Be positive Focus on the positive aspects of starting kindergarten instead of worrying about all the things that can go wrong, said Schafer. She suggested parents draw
on their own positive memories of starting school like making friends and learning new things. On drop-off day, if parents feel like crying, she suggested trying to wait until after the child has gone inside so it does not add to their child’s anxiety. Have trust Stutt said schools use staggered and supported entry. First year kindergartens start the first day in smaller groups and second year kindergartens help their classmates. Teachers also have techniques to stop the tears. "Our classroom educators are pretty skilled at redirection and distraction," she said, adding most stop crying within a few
minutes. Practise and prepare The first day of school means new routines, new bedtimes, extra lunches, and new teachers. Stutt suggested establishing routines early so there is time to adjust. She also recommended having a goodbye routine that is familiar to children and can be followed if things become emotional. Additionally, there are a number of programs in York Region designed to help families familiarize themselves with the academic, social and physical aspects of school. Be quick Schafer has a blog post The Happy Snappy Goodbye where she compares goodbyes to removing a bandage. "It sounds terrible but the truth is the longer you stay at the door trying to say goodbye and calm their tears, the longer the anticipation and fear of the eventual goodbye goes on," she said. Stay engaged There are many ways to stay connected, explained Stutt, like school or classroom social media accounts, emails and notes. Additionally, parents can find ways to learn at home like daily reading. Get active "We need to broaden and be excited about other aspects of our life," said Schafer. She said some parents take up a new hobby, class or job. For more tips visit alysonschafer.com and yrdsb.ca.

Currently, the City has 46 different zoning by-laws! The new zoning bylaw will streamline and consolidate these by-laws making them more user friendly and easier to understand. The purpose of this project is to implement the policies of Markham’s new Official Plan, and to protect people from conflicting and possibly dangerous land uses. Please join us at one or all of these upcoming sessions: ESTABLISHED NEIGHBOURHOODS WORKSHOP Tuesday, September 5, 2017 at 7:00 pm Angus Glen Community Centre – Activity Room #1 3990 Major Mackenzie Drive East, Markham Participate in a focused conversation on established neighbourhoods. These residential neighbourhoods have housing that shares common characteristics located in a defined geographical area. Participants will receive an overview of current zoning
and consider options such as: lot frontage, building height, front yard setback, lot coverage and garages. COMMERCIAL, MIXED-USE AND EMPLOYMENT AREAS WORKSHOP Monday, September 11, 2017 at 7:00 pm Angus Glen Community Centre – Activity Room #1 3990 Major Mackenzie Drive East, Markham Participate in a focused conversation on commercial, mixed use and employment areas. These are places for shopping, offices, restaurants and factories and in some cases residential housing. Participants will receive an overview of current zoning and consider options such as: lot frontage, building height, setbacks, parking and access. Open House Monday, September 18, 2017 6:00 pm Meet and Greet Information Session in the Atrium 7:00 pm Presentation in the Council Chambers Markham Civic Centre 101 Town Centre Boulevard, Markham The open house will provide a general overview of the new zoning by-law, and review important future milestones for the project.

A caring part of our community since 1999
The City of Markham is preparing a new zoning by-law. A zoning by-law regulates the use of land and buildings and sets standards for how development and construction can occur on a property. For example, zoning by-laws regulate: • How land and buildings may be used (e.g. residential, commercial, mixed use) • Where buildings and other structures can be located and how they should be built • The size of pieces of property, if parking is required and how much

No place for complacency when faced with hate
The Markham Economist & Sun, published every Thursday, is a division of the Metroland Media Group Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The Metroland family of newspapers is comprised of more than 100 community publications across Ontario.
For Canadians watching the events that unfolded during a rally on the streets of Charlottesville, Va., earlier this month, that saw white nationalists, neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan members openly spouting hateful rhetoric and which escalated into violence that left antifascist protester Heather Heyer dead and 19 others injured, it can be all too tempting to sit back and assume something similar couldn’t happen here. That kind of thinking may be comforting and align well with our collective image of Canada as a welcoming and tolerant society, but it’s a false sense of security. If you’re looking for evidence that white nationalism may yet stir in our nation, you don’t have to look hard. Over the past several months residents in various municipalities across the GTA, including Richmond Hill, have had copies of Your Ward News - a publication that has rightly been labelled as racist, xenophobic, misogynist and homophobic by its critics - delivered to their homes. Other signs are not necessarily so overt. At the recent Sutton Fair, someone made the troubling choice to fly the flag of the Confederacy over a vendor tent. Keswick resident Nelson Mahmoudi took a photograph of the flag, which vanished the day after he saw it, and spoke out against the display, while noting that Civil War re-enactments and museums are about the only places where it would be acceptable to show the Confederate battle flag. He’s right. Despite attempts to turn the so-called "stars and bars" into an emblem of rural pride or to associate it with a romanticized image of country living, the fact remains it was flown by those who sought to defend to the death their "right" to continue keeping people as property. Hopefully, whoever hoisted said flag has learned something about the history of the flag and why it remains such a painful symbol. If that weren’t enough, three schools were vandalized with racist graffiti in Markham last week. In one of those incidents, playground equipment was defaced with a Star of David equalling a swastika and the letters "KKK" standing for Ku Klux Klan. Yet another message spoke of white power. And while some may shrug the graffiti off as childish shenanigans, York Regional Police are correctly treating it as a hate crime. Not taking such matters seriously can foster complacency which can only embolden those with white nationalist leanings. It’s up to all of us who strive to live in a just society to be watchful for hateful behaviour and speak out when we see it. As Aldous Huxley said: "Eternal vigilance is not only the price of liberty; eternal vigilance is the price of human decency."

A practical solution to train horns I’m sitting on an 8 p.m. train remembering the days (a couple weeks back) when I’d get on a GO bus at Union and be home at Centennial by 8:30ish. Tonight, I will be home at 9 as the train takes twice as long as a bus at this hour. I will also need to transfer from the train to the bus at Unionville. The buses used to leave every 30 minutes; the trains now leave every 60 minutes. Twice the travel time,

A single train coach costs $2.5 million. (The one I’m on is empty.) The amount of diesel for a bus is a fraction of that for a train. And we wonder why our province is broke. So, while Markham Council voted unanimously a few weeks ago to stop the evening train horns, the problem is that they voted on the wrong motion. The motion should have been to stop the trains altogether and get the buses back on the road. Unfortunately, our politicians commute from their homes in Markham to Markham Town Centre.

Sculpture shows someone keeping heritage alive Re: Residents have beef with Markham cow sculpture on stilts, July 26. I am so happy to see that there is someone left in Markham who is standing up for the heritage and the people who actually built this community. I moved to Unionville in the 1970s, when there was still lots of farmland around and it was beautiful.
Unfortunately, many family farms were sold because the children no longer wanted the farming life, or farming became too costly. So, it is wonderful to see when someone proudly displays a piece of the area’s history exactly where it happened. Developers just move into an area, level the land, and, if necessary, just relocate heritage buildings so the history no longer means anything. I am sure the town square will be stunning. Kudos to Helen RomanBarber for making it happen and getting your story on the front page of The Star so people in Markham can be proud of their heritage and the community they live in.

Man bikes from Markham to Montreal for mental health KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com Neil Mitchell is back in the saddle after a twoyear struggle with depression. The Markham father hit the road this past weekend and raised 80 per cent of his fundraising goal of $15,000. "The three-day Ride for Mental Health was a tremendous experience and success," Mitchell said, crediting his wife Darla and his cycling group "The Heavy Rollers" for their energy and support. "There is no doubt in my mind that this issue affects our lives, families, friends, communities and the economy in profound and significant ways. Our hope is this and future rides can be a catalyst for conversation, raising awareness and much-needed funding of mental health services for the Markham Stouffville community."

Collucci will represent provincial Liberals TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com Markham Ward 6 Councillor Amanda Collucci has been nominated to represent the Liberal party in next June’s provincial election for the new riding of Markham-Unionville. Collucci was chosen as the party’s standardbearer in a nomination meeting on Sunday, Aug. 27. "We deserve a progressive provincial government that supports women at home and at work, provides families with quality health care and education, and grows the economy by leveraging our strengths and diversity in every sector," said Collucci. "And, at the end of the work day, people should be able to get home in time for dinner, spend time with their children, and enjoy other activities. I believe Ontario Liberals are the ones to keep delivering on this vision, and I’m honoured to be part of their team." Collucci, who immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong in the 1990s, is a mother of two who graduated from York University in economics. She was the first Chinese-Canadian woman elected to Markham City Council in 2014.

FAMILY WAR STORIES
Your
2. A Family Fight Over Deer Antlers This reported case demonstrates how emotions can erupt between siblings over the strangest of items. The starting point of the case finds Dad hunting in 1926. Dad encounters a mule deer with a record size set of antlers. He kills it, arranges for the meat to be packed and keeps the head and antlers of the animal. The antlers themselves travelled a relatively simple path over the next 76 years. Dad kept them in the family home and some time in the 1940ʼs mounted them over the fireplace. Dad passed away in 1968. When Dad died, he left seven children, but no Will. The importance of his dying without a Will will quickly become apparent. In 1973, the antlers were still in Dadʼs home. His son Don entered the home while his siblings were absent, and removed the antlers. His siblings were aware of this, but at the time, there was no court action brought. Years later, Donʼs siblings came across a newspaper article that opened a new chapter in this saga. The article referred to Don as the sole owner of “World Class Antlers”, which had been appraised as being very valuable. Naturally, these were the same ones that were mounted over Dadʼs fireplace for all those years. Donʼs siblings were incensed. They demanded the return of the antlers right after reading that article. They were angry enough to retain a lawyer. They now wanted repossession of the antlers and a declaration that they all owned them equally. They brought a lawsuit against Don. The institution of legal proceedings was not enough to make Don yield one inch from his position. When the judge heard the case, he rendered a decision that all seven children had an equal right to the antlers, because Dad had made no Will. What was so shocking about this case was that Don refused to comply with the order of the judge, even under penalty of being jailed for contempt. Don defied the court order, refusing to give over the antlers. He was jailed for over 10 days. This remarkable case proves some siblings will fight over anything- even deer antlers.

HAVING A PROPERLY PLANNED WILL IS SO IMPORTANT 1. A Sister’s Impossible Choice The Wills Lawyers Dad named Mary as a sole executor of his estate. Mary was one of three children, all of whom Dad loved equally. However, Dad knew the personalities of her two brothers well enough to know that his estate would best be looked after by Mary. To Mary, it seemed that everything was a contest between her two brothers. It had been this way ever since they were teenagers. When Dad passed away, he left a Will dividing his estate equally among all three children. One of the assets Dad left behind was a treasured 1967 Mustang convertible in almost mint condition. Dad and the boys had treated it as their baby. In order to avoid fights, Dad kept the keys, so the boys always knew whose turn it was to get the car. Unfortunately, Dad did not Father & Daughter Legal Team specify how that car was to be handled after he Les & Michelle Kotzer died. Now that he had passed away, it was up to Mary to deal with the sensitive issue of which brother would get the car. At first, she thought that common sense would make this an easy matter to resolve. Both brothers were adamant that the car should be theirs, so she tried to work out an informal bidding process. The process quickly turned chaotic when it became apparent that there was no end to it. No matter what one brother offered, the other came back with a higher amount. To Mary, it seemed that one brother would pay almost any price to ensure that the other brother would not get the Mustang. In order to break the logjam between them, she threatened that, if they could not work this out within one week, she would sell the Mustang to someone outside the family. Both believed that she was bluffing. They found out how wrong they were when the car was picked up by a dealergone from the family forever. Naturally, the brothers were angry with Mary, as well as each other. It was just like when they were teenagers and Mary was caught in the middle between them. Mary loved her two brothers and their families. She was in tears when she spoke of what both brothers had in common: each brother told her that, if she spoke to the other brother, he would never speak to her again. Mary wondered whether that Mustang meant that she couldnʼt watch her nephew playing football or attend her nieceʼs school graduation, out of fear of losing one of the brothers. She realized that her fatherʼs Will put her in an impossible position. She said that she wished that the Mustang, which had given her family so much pleasure, had never been bought by Dad in the first place. Her parting words were: “Whatever decision I make, I am going to be left with only half a family”.

good traction. If they bike, a well-fitting helmet is a must, as is learning your community’s bylaws for cyclists. Also make sure your children know how to signal their intentions for turning and know to make eye contact with motorists when crossing. Be a great bus passenger. Almost a third of Canadian students ride a school bus or vehicle. They can help their bus driver give them a safer ride to school by being on time for pick-ups, waiting in a safe place that’s well back from the edge of the road, crossing in front of the bus and never behind,keeping their voices down in the vehicle, and staying seated facing forward at all times. If driving in a personal or commercial vehicle, make sure seat belts are working and are being worn. Follow safety instructions. The CAA School Safety Patrol program has 70,000 student volunteers across the country who help ensure their peers get to school safely. As one of the largest youth volunteer programs, they help play an important role in school zone safety in many areas of the country. Keep a lookout for their bright safety vests.

10 NEWS
18 restaurants charged 5 or more times in 2 years l Continued from page 1
over (about three years ago), the restaurant wasn’t in the best condition. So, we tried our best to clean but it didn’t (initially) work out," Suy said. "We’re trying hard. (When we bought the restaurant), most of the equipment was over 15 years old. The fridge sometimes didn’t work; we had to get a new fridge, we got new freezers. When you just open the doors, you’re spending over $150,000 just to buy the business, and then we have to spend thousands more to buy new equipment." Pho Saigon has hired new staff, and he, his mom and her boyfriend have now gotten their food handler’s certificates, Suy said. "I think we’re really doing better," he said. "Our food is authentic and we make it with love." At other restaurants charged five or more times,
some infractions appeared to be relatively minor, while others were more noteworthy. Those included an ice cream scoop in a container of mould, a pig carcass stored adjacent to a dirty shelving unit, ducks hanging in an area with a visible buildup of dirt, dust and grime, no toilet paper or soap in a staff washroom, a cook manually killing a fly, rinsing off his hand and resuming food preparation, and "a few dead cockroaches" on a glue stick under a sink. While Suy was forthcoming about challenges his restaurant has overcome, a sampling of other restaurants indicated eatery owners and managers do not have an appetite to discuss their health reports. But residents going out for a bite don’t have to rely on the whims of eateries to disclose charges against them.
Instead, they can find information about restaurants inspected by public health through the region’s York Safe program at york.ca/yorksafe, with weekly charges reported at York Region Media Group’s yorkregion.com. "What we look for (during inspections) is everything, really. Everything from sanitation to crosscontamination to infestation to food handling to training to the structure to cleanliness. The variables are endless. Everything from dishwashing to handwashing to cross-contamination with the cutting boards, to do we have infestation of either insects or rodents in the premises, are we missing a screen door, is a cooler not cold enough, are temperatures not right, is it missing a thermometer?" said Vito Chiefari, manager of the health protection division. "We capture what needs to be fixed. In some cases,
that equates to a charge, especially if it’s a repeat offence. In some cases, what we see is significant enough that it warrants a closure." The region has a total of 39 inspectors, who carry out more than 11,000 annual inspections at 1,100 highrisk, 3,000 medium-risk and 1,500 low-risk premises, which are classified based on the type of food they provide and clientele they serve. While the vast majority of premises pass their inspections, last year, inspectors laid about 300 charges and shut down 26 locations until health hazards were addressed. A restaurant ordered closed must remain shut until it complies with rules under the Ontario Health Protection Promotion Act. An eatery with chronic problems can’t be closed permanently as long as it makes the necessary improvements, Chiefari said. A restaurant with ongo-
ing problems could be inspected more often than the minimum of three times a year for high-risk, twice for medium-risk and once for low-risk, and also provided with more education, Chiefari said. A change in ownership or location does not allow the operator to sidestep the number of inspections they would normally face, he added. Inspectors routinely respond to public complaints about food premises, Chiefari said. He had some advice for people going out to eat. Make sure the establishment is displaying its green pass card from its last inspection and maintains a clean premises, observe whether the staff appears knowledgeable, ensure food arrives hot to your table, and check that plates and utensils are clean. So, is eating out in York Region a safe thing to do? "I do it all the time," Chiefari said.
Multiple Offenders: In addition to Pho Saigon, other restaurants charged five or more times between January 2015 and April 2017 by York Region health inspectors were: Aurora Chinese Restaurant in Aurora Centra Food Market in Aurora City Hollywood Café in Markham Congee Queen in Markham East Moon Chinese Restaurant in Vaughan Ginza Sushi Restaurant in Vaughan Golden Maki in Newmarket, Grand Fortune Food Mart in Markham Ho Garden Chinese Restaurant in Markham Hockey Sushi in Markham India Time in Newmarket Maple Dragon Chinese Restaurant in Vaughan Ruby Thai Kitchen in Newmarket St. Louis Bar and Grill on Hollandview Trail in Aurora Sunrise Seniors Living of Aurora in Aurora Wild Wing on Eagle Street in Newmarket Yung Kee BBQ Restaurant in Markham
COMMUNITY

Community wants peace, diversity to shine over racism, hate TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com A cross-section of Markham’s community leaders came together Tuesday night to prove that love trumps hate. At a school location where just a few days earlier vandals had sprayed hate slogans, Mayor Frank Scarpitti and York Regional Police Chief Eric Joliffe were among the notables to celebrate Markham’s diversity. Officially dubbed,
Markham’s Children Unity Celebration, the event was called to bring the community together in order "to share a message of hope, peace and unity." The mayor, as is his custom, welcomed the assembled crowd at William Armstrong Public School on Major Buttons Drive, with greetings in half-adozen languages to reflect what he said is "Canada’s most diverse city." William Armstrong Park School, Reesor Park Public School on nearby
Wootten Way North and Markham District Hill School on Church Street in the same neighbourhood were all targeted with hate graffiti including antiblack and anti-Semitic slurs. York Regional Police are investigating the incidents as hate crimes. Spiritual leaders from a number of different faiths participated in the short ceremony which included the release of doves and the encouragement of everyone to live in peace and harmony.

Those who do may experience flu-like symptoms within two to fifteen days, including: • Fever • Muscle weakness • Stiff neck • Confusion • Headaches • Sudden sensitivity to light Sometimes West Nile virus can cause severe illness including meningitis and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain).

5 fantastic ideas for a spacious living room makeover of premium real estate they occupy. A sofa with hidden storage or a coffee table that moonlights as extra seating when guests come over can both free up floor space and improve traffic flow. 2. Create an impact. Just because you want a clean and organized room doesn’t mean you need to stick to basic and boring décor. Make a small space feel larger by going bold and bright with playful patterns, dramatic colours and cheerful florals.
No matter if you’re working with a 500-squarefoot condo or an expansive suburban house, living rooms are busy
spaces that can quickly feel cramped and cluttered. Here are some ways to make yours bright and beautiful.
1. Opt for double duty furniture. Achieve streamlined style and efficiency with items that work hard for every inch
3. Ensure plenty of light. One of the easiest ways to make a room feel spacious is to let natural sunlight open and brighten up the space. Illuminate your living room using Hunter Douglas Luminette privacy sheers with vertical shades that are perfect for larger windows and sliding patio doors.
4. Play with scale. Don’t be afraid of using larger pieces in close quarters, as a collection of small items squeezed into a room is visually overwhelming. A big, comfy armchair or an architectural wall-mounted lamp can ground and add character to the room while emphasizing simplicity. 5. Cut the cord. Electronics amp up our home entertainment possibilities, but their cables and plugs often make for a tangled mess. Cover up exposed wires with cord covers or tuck them behind a couch or table, and have a designated out-of-sight spot for your cell phone and laptop chargers. While you’re tidying up your gadgets, call your cable company to see if they can give you a smaller modem or cable box.

7 strategies for using your home equity line of credit wisely A home equity line of credit can improve your monthly cash flow by consolidating higher-interest debt or it can help increase your home’s value by fi-
nancing renovations. But this line of credit requires discipline to avoid overborrowing against your home equity. Consider these strategies to protect your long-term financial pm security.
Saturday and Sunday • 2-4
1. Establish a repayment plan. One option is to set aside a portion of your home equity line of credit in a sub-account with a fixedterm repayment schedule.

2. Pay more than just the monthly interest. You can usually pay down any amount of the money you owe at any time without an extra fee.
3. Establish a clear plan. This includes making a realistic budget for any home renovation projects you are funding. 4. Create an emergency savings fund. Using a home equity line of credit for an unexpected circumstance like job loss carries risks. You may find yourself in a debt spiral if you borrow money to cover your monthly bills for an extended period of time. 5. Avoid further debt. It can be a smart decision to use a home equity line of credit to consolidate higher-interest debt. But if your spending habits are the cause of this existing debt, follow a budget and avoid the temptation to continually borrow against your home’s equity. 6. Negotiate a lower credit limit. Lenders may approve you for a higher limit than you need, making it tempting to spend over your intentions and means.
7. Shop around. Home equity line of credit interest rates vary from one bank to another. As with any financial product, review your terms and conditions carefully and ask your financial institution questions about anything you don’t understand.

But with these simple solutions, your appliances will be working and looking like new in no time. Dishwasher. Your dishwasher works hard to clean your dishes, but it could benefit from a monthly cleaning to help eradicate old, stubborn food particles and prevent odours. Toss a cup of white vinegar into the bottom of the empty dishwasher and run on normal cycle. For dishes that shine, be sure to use a rinse aid and avoid over-crowding. Refrigerator. You can hide the state of your refrigerator from company, but over time spills and odours have a way of getting noticed. For a quick fix, use baking soda and water to clean removable parts and shelving. To banish that funky smell, place a box of baking soda or activated charcoal inside the fridge. Replace the box or container monthly. Dusting or vacuuming compressor coils twice a year helps to extend the service life of your fridge.
As we juggle chaotic schedules, we often forgo a deeper level of household clean for a quick tidy. While this might sustain a relatively livable space, it may
have unexpected consequences. Take your appliances, for example. Built-up grime from months of neglect can compromise their performance and longevity.
Portable spot cleaner. A convenient and practical solution to life’s every day spills and accidents is a portable spot cleaner. Over time, however, filter hoses can accumulate
grime and residue, causing unpleasant odour. Avoid this by choosing a unit with a self-clean function. A popular choice is the Hoover Spotless Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner, which allows you to flush the hose clean after each use to remove dirt and bacteria.
