While Dina Derocchis can see the merit of using gas tax to fund transit in large cities such as Toronto, she says that she and other York Region residents are reluctant to give up their cars.
LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com At the pump of a Newmarket gas station, Dina Derocchis is skeptical her gas taxes are doing much to get people out of their cars and on to
public transit in York Region. While public transit in the region is "a mess," the Newmarket resident doubts most drivers are willing to give up their vehicles to ride the bus. "I can see Toronto needing it
more. Up here, I think most people drive. You kind of need a car up here," said Derocchis, who isn’t opposed to contributing to the provincial government’s new cap-andtrade program, which increased gas prices by 4.3 cents a litre, as long
as it is used specifically to improve the environment. "It (getting drivers to choose public transit) is not going to happen. No, I don’t think so. It won’t l See PROVINCIAL, page 14

KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com He was just an ordinary kid, a classmate at his son’s Markham high school, but the boy’s predicament troubled Sam Fronte. The teen had confided to Fronte that his father was angry he’d attended a local party and told him not to bother coming home. It was the middle of the night and the young man had nowhere to go. "He gets that way, sometimes," the boy shrugged.Fronte, who helped sponsor homeless youth through Markham Baptist Church for more than 10 years, was well aware of the risks the teen faced trying to find somewhere safe for the night - from frigid makeshift shelters to dropins where people are robbed for a few dollars. He couldn’t help the youth - "a good kid" who luckily managed to find a friend’s couch to sleep on for the night but Fronte vowed he would do more to help other teens in similar predicaments. That’s why his family has signed on to be a host family with the new Nightstop program being launched in York Region. 360Kids has partnered with UK-based Depaul Charity to be the first Nightstop provider in North America, offering screened and trained volunteers with a spare bed to young people with nowhere else to go. The organization is seeking families who can help provide this safety net - for one night or several that keeps youth off the street or away from unsuitable accommodations where they would be at risk of abuse. With help of federal funding, families who

Sam and Stephanie Fronte stand in the spare bedroom they are offering to homeless youth. It’s part of a new 360Kids program and a first in North America where volunteer families play host to young people who don’t have a place to stay. sign up to be Nightstop hosts receive remuneration to assist with expenses. Nicola Harwood, head of Depaul’s Nightstop, was in Richmond Hill this week helping launch the program in Canada. It’s been in operation there for more than 30 years she says, and now offers 630 homes across the UK. In 2015, those homes provided 13,500 "safe sleeps" to young people. Each youth spends an average seven to eight nights at a Nightstop while the agency works with them to find long-term solutions to their housing troubles. The program has been tried and tested by the UK organization to ensure it’s safe for everyone, she says, adding York Region would be a good fit for its launch in

ceiving the continued support of services 360Kids provides." Fronte’s family is keen to play a role. As chair of his church’s mission team, he has helped raise cash donations, clothing and gift cards for homeless youth. Now he is ready to do more, especially in the south end of York Region where services are especially lacking. "The Hub is a great option but not nearly enough," he says. With no shelters for kids in crisis in the area, youth must make their way to Toronto or overcrowded shelters further north, in Newmarket or Sutton. "They can end up in places that are not safe. Shelters can be risky." Most of the hidden homeless are good kids in
bad circumstances, says 360Kids youth worker Christian Salgado. With space shortages at the Richmond Hill facility, they end up couch-surfing, sleeping in abandoned buildings or tents in vacant lots, he says. "They get a bad rap, but they’re not dangerous. These kids generally just can’t go home." That’s the situation Jessica faced when she left home several months ago. At 17, the youth already faced years of hardship growing up with two chronically ill parents, moving multiple times and regularly bullied at school. "My parents couldn’t afford me so at the end of the day, I just decided to do it on my own," the quiet teen says. She slept in shelters and empty stairwells until she
found an emergency bed at 360Kids. Now she is in transition housing while she earns her high school diploma, but she knows it could have gone very badly - and she says she could have used a program like Nightstop. "When you’re that age, you’re supposed to be growing. But that’s hard to do you are on the streets trying to survive. "It would make such a difference if we had a home where we knew we were safe and cared about."

Canada. Jacquie Hermans, 360Kids Nightstop program coordinator, estimates 300 youth are seeking a place to stay in the region every night. 360Kids provides 14 emergency beds at The Hub in Richmond Hill, but there have been no vacancies since the facility opened in March 2016. "We are not going to build our way out of this problem," say Michael Braithwaite, 360Kids executive director. "We have to be innovative and think differently." The use of spare rooms in a positive environment makes a huge difference to young people in crisis, says Lesley Sims, 360Kids director of resource development.

ABOUT US
As gracious hosts, let’s not disappoint Syrian families now For Syrian refugees who have come to Canada, 2016 was no doubt a year of adjustment and discovery. And for those who came in the first wave, a new reality is setting in with the start of a new year, when their federal living allowance came to an end. After 12 months, families stop receiving what could amount to $1,400 per month from the government. Many more refugees who settled in our communities will reach that milestone over the course of 2017. For those who have not secured employment, this year may bring some serious financial hardship. In a country that has openly embraced more than 35,500 Syrian refugees since November 2015, we can feel good about living in a place so willing to help those desperate and in need. Local groups, including Stouffville Cares, Bradford’s Refugee Inter-Denominational Group (BRIDG) and Georgina-East Gwillimbury Refugee Welcome, sponsored families. And many more residents, businesses, community organizations and churches offered their support to those families and other refugees who have begun to make their home in our towns and cities. The North American Shia Ithna Asheri Muslim Community Organization (NASIMCO) and the Jaffari Community Centre (JCC), for example, have organized and delivered hygiene kits to families awaiting permanent housing, prepared backpacks for 300 children going to school, delivered donated household items to families upon settlement and hosted a free dental screening and informative workshop session These people’s journey settling in our communities needs to stay front and centre for more than just the exciting first few months - particularly as that financial assistance reaches its expiration date. It has been inspiring to witness our communities step up to support and welcome their new neighbours and hear how refugees are adapting to living in a new country. We need to continue to offer support in various ways. Learning English is a major barrier for many. Perhaps people could offer English conversation clubs in their neighbourhood. Syrian children in new schools no doubt face an intimidating integration into their peers’ social circles. How can we help them make new friends? Many of the new families have spoken of the wonder and appreciation they felt being accepted so readily into this country. As time presses on, let’s not disappoint them now.

I find the comments of the president of the Newmarket Taxpayers Advocacy Group on the study by the Fraser Institute is enlightening to shed light on public employees compensation in relationship to the private sector. It is so true, I am not including the police, fire departments and the paramedics which is well appreciated and justified. But the real issue is not the gold-plated compensation only. The problem lies with productivity. I find the public sector are far less productive than in the private sector. That

York police weigh benefits, detriments of strategy as impaired driving numbers mount JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com Does naming and shaming work? The jury remains out, but York Regional Police is considering implementing the long-debated strategy to help lower the number of drunk drivers arrested on our roads each year. The force started kicking around the idea of publicly releasing the names of those charged with drunk driving after putting out statistics that leave many wishing for a more aggressive strategies in combating impaired driving. Besides the number of drunk drivers charged every year rising by more than 30 per cent to 1,625 since 2013 in the region, nine people died as a result and weekly updates from the force show just how bad the problem is.
A York police tweet about last weekend read: "9 more drunk drivers taken off our roads this weekend. One of them was passed out at the wheel in the middle of Clark/Dufferin." Brian Patterson, president of the Ontario Safety League, said there might be no evidence showing the strategy works, but there is anecdotal proof from Durham police, who have been naming and shaming for years, indicating that releasing names publicly does encourage people to warn police when a convicted impaired driver continues to drive without a license. "We know of people who have been convicted in the courthouse, walked to their car and attempted to drive home," he said. "My belief is that the community is at a greater risk by the actions of impaired drivers

Quilt show celebrates Canada’s 150th
PHOTO
AMANDA PERSICO apersico@yrmg.com Kick off the new year with something warm and cosy, all the while celebrating Canada 150. The King Township Museum hosts the 150 Years of Quilts in King. The free exhibit, which runs until Jan. 28, features about a dozen quilts donated from the community, showcasing the creative side of King’s early settlers. What makes this show unique is the number of signature quilts dating back to the early 1930s, said museum curator Kathleen Fry. Signature quilts were used as local fundraisers for community groups and churches, where residents paid to have their names stitched on the quilt. "It’s a neat record of history for the community," she said. "It’s our community history and a genealogy record for families in

King Museum curator Kathleen Fry has assembled a variety of quilts for a show celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary. the area." There is one quilt on display that was created to mark the centennial anniversary of the hamlet of Eversley and another with about 20 wheels, each with 10 signatures. "That’s 200 people from our community," Fry said. "This exhibit is a starting point, to get the community talking about Canada 150." Names are stitched in
block letters, while others are stitched in script. The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and is located at 2920 King Rd., King City.

Thanks to the work of ‘The Famous Five’ (Emily Murphy, Irene Marryat Parlby, Nellie McClung, Louise Crummy McKinney and Henrietta Muir Edwards – some of whom are seen here with Prime Minister MacKenzie King), women achieved the right to be elected to Senate in 1929. In what became known as ‘The Persons Case’, they challenged the Supreme Court of Canada to answer “Does the word ‘Persons’ in Section 24 of the British North American Act, 1867, include female persons?”

Provincial gas tax will help improve York Region Transit network l Continued from page 3
happen to me. No, no, no, no." Derocchis’s comments came the same day Queen’s Park announced Jan. 10 that York Region’s public transit system is getting a $15.3 million boost this year from the provincial gas tax. Better transit is not only a convenience for riders but helps improve the region’s economy, Newmarket-Aurora MPP Chris Ballard said at a press conference at the
Newmarket Transit Garage on Yonge Street south of Green Lane in East Gwillimbury. Municipalities across Ontario have received $3.8 billion in gas tax funding since 2004, including $334 million this year. "York Region and York Region Transit will be able to use this funding to make critical improvements to our local transit network," Ballard said. "In the past, municipali-
ties have used gas tax funding to upgrade transit infrastructure, increase accessibility, purchase transit vehicles, add more routes and extend hours of service." Although the region’s transit improvement to-do list is long and the gas tax funding represents less than 1 per cent of this year’s $197,221 million transit operating budget, regional chair Wayne Emmerson stressed the funding is not drop in the bucket.
"We appreciate every dollar we get from the province and the feds and we need more for us to enhance our transit system," he said. The funding will cover some of the costs of operating the YRT Viva Transit system, which is expanding. Currently, the system provides about 140 transit routes served by 396 conventional buses and 123 Viva rapid transit buses, Emmerson said. The region is also phasing in new services such as dial-
a-ride in rural areas and more frequent bus service, adopting new fare incentives, modernizing facilities and introducing technological advancements, he added. Newmarket Mayor Tony Van Bynen and East Gwillimbury Mayor Virginia Hackson praised the gas tax funding. The money will help enhance and expand transit, reduce congestion, shorten commute times and help commuters reach their desti-
nations quicker, Van Bynen said. Better transit is needed to accommodate growth, Hackson said. The region’s population of 1.1 million will increase to 1.8 million by 2041, while East Gwillimbury will grow by 125,000 by 2051. "The more options our residents have to leave their car at home, the better it is for our communities and the environment," Hackson said.

Vaughan is kicking off the new year with the first phase of its plan to boost transparency and accountability at city hall. Starting Jan. 1, anyone wishing to lobby councillors or city staff will be able to register their activities through an online portal; but it’s completely voluntary. The move is to educate lobbyists before the implementation of a mandatory lobbyist registry expected in 2018. Lobbyist registries are
designed to provide a public record of the people who meet with senior bureaucrats and councillors to influence decisionmaking and to document the issues or projects they’re meeting to talk about. Lobbyists will provide information regarding their identity, who they represent, the subject matter and which public office holders they’re lobbying. During the voluntary period, the online portal will be reviewed, refined and, where necessary, alternative options will be

explored, according to a news release. "Trust and accountability are key priorities at the City of Vaughan," Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua said. "I championed the creation of a lobbyist registry because I believe in an open government giving the public access to information about who is communicating with public office holders. This is a positive step forward as it demonstrates our commitment to transparency." To find out more, visit www.vaughan.ca/cityhall/lobbyistregistry

Vaughan - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items
Barry Dennis Gunn, of Woodbridge, Ontario, is no longer a Chartered Accountant or Chartered Professional Accountant, and is no longer entitled to use the designations “Chartered Accountant” or “Chartered Professional Accountant” or the initials “CA” or “CPA”. The Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario (The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario) revoked the membership of Mr. Gunn on November 29, 2016 for failing to comply with an order of CPA Ontario’s Discipline Committee.

WATCH NOTICE
could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre- inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

Eat healthy, save your pennies with these tips, recipes TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com You owe it to yourself to pursue healthy living. A large part of living well means adopting balanced and healthy eating habits, according to York Region registered dietitian Elke Sengmueller. While there is a perception that healthy foods come with a heftier price tag, there are healthy options that won’t break the bank. 1. Oatmeal: An excellent source of soluble fibre, steel cut or large flake oats are more filling and are better at stabilizing blood sugar levels compared to ’quick cook’ oats. Make a big pot and eat it throughout the week, put uncooked flakes in yogurt overnight or add it to ground meat dishes. 2. Frozen fruits and vegetables: Flash-frozen at harvest, they are packed with vitamins, minerals, fibre and heart-healthy antioxidants. Add veggies to stews, soups, stirfrys and pizzas; and add fruits to yogurt, smoothies, muffins and oatmeal. 3. Legumes: Heavy with protein, fibre, zinc, iron, magnesium, B-vitamins and long-acting carbohydrates, they are a pantry essential. Use for hummus, chili, casseroles, quesadillas, burritos, tacos or sprinkle on salads.
4. Canned fish: A rich source of protein, iron, omega-3 fats, selenium, vitamin B-12 and calcium, it can be used in sandwiches, burritos, pasta salad and casseroles. 5. Low sodium tomato sauce: packed with vitamins A and C, as well as potassium, it is an easy vegetable source for picky eaters. Use it in casseroles, stews, vegetable side dishes, pasta sauce, pizza topping and in salsa.
RECIPES With families facing post-holiday bills and increased costs of living, eating healthy can sometimes feel like a losing battle. But you don’t have to choose between your health and paying your bills, as there are plenty of meal ideas that are healthy and frugal, according to York Region registered dietitian Alka Chopra. Check out these frugal, yet healthy, meals for under $10 a serving.
Black Bean Chili with Dinner Rolls Serves 3 to 4. What you need: 1 medium onion 2 tablespoons diced garlic 1 chopped bell pepper 1 chopped carrot 1 can low-sodium black beans 2
