Jacob Gal from Soup-Pa will be giving away free rainbow ice cream during the Pride parade on Main Street in Newmarket.

Events Calendar

Pride parade moves north KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com A disagreement between York Pride Fest and the Town of Richmond Hill has led to not just one, but two Pride events in York Region this summer.

For four years, the region’s Pride parade has taken place on Yonge Street in the heart of Richmond Hill, but this year parade organizers, feeling snubbed by the local business community,

FREE Vaccinations with paid examination for new puppies and kittens

have packed up their rainbow flags and headed north to Newmarket.

Pride Fest spokesperson Jacob Gal hopes the town’s Main Street will be the perfect venue for a family-friendly parade and afterparty at Riverwalk Commons on June 17.

Meantime, another organization, PFLAG York, is working with the Town of Richmond Hill to create a separate Pride event June 3 in a new location in Rich-

mond Hill, adjoining the Elgin Barrow arena "This is a new initiative for us," said Amanda Knegje, president of PFLAG, the region’s LGBTQ support, resource and education network.

"We’ve always been very supportive of Pride Fest . It’s great seeing growth, and multiple events, especially when it involves both north and south York Region."

Earlier this year, Richmond

Hill had informed Pride Fest that the parade could not take place in its usual spot on Yonge due to traffic issues, costs to the town, impact on local business and poor attendance.

Instead, the town offered an alternate route: a side street in the village core and nearby park.

Since 2013, the Town of Richmond Hill provided support to the parade and was the first in York

JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com You’ve probably heard how 50 is the new 30.

Well, it might well be that the new 50, or even 55, is now somewhere near 70 years of age.

Long gone is an expectation that adults must slow down and curtail activities when 55 candles need be extinguished on a birthday cake. Just because that was the case a couple generations ago doesn’t make it so now.

The rules of play are changing as baby boomers age. Folks may be getting older, but they still like their fun and games, and want to be active more than any previous generation. This a significant power-wielding group that often gets what it demands.

In short, the generation that created old-timers and masters sports is getting older. And the over-55s are an extremely large and growing group.

It is not only fitting, but obligatory, that municipalities listen and react to those demands.

"We are very aware of a growing senior and older adult population," says Mary Creighton, director of recreational services for the past seven years for the City of Markham. "One thing we knew we had to do was have an older athlete policy and we’re doing that right now.

It’s how we need to move forward and how to deal with an aging population."

Recreation directors in municipalities across the region meet quarterly to exchange ideas regarding trends in activities and needs. It should be no surprise that older adults’ needs are high on the list of priorities.

Boomers force municipalities to alter their game

Steve Somerville/Metroland

(Clockwise from top) An overview of popular pickleball action at the Pan Am Centre in Markham; Ellanna Whitaker of Newmarket and her pickleball partner, Holly Walker of Markham, both lunge for a ball hit over the net at the Pan Am Centre in Markham; Connie Green reacts to her bowl missing the jack.

Watching are Keswick Club 55 carpet bowling competitors Elsie Harrington (from left to right), Joe Smyth, Rocco Di Mambro, Carol Klahm and Ren Gazley.

Creighton points to an integrated leisure services master plan unveiled in 2010, which included sensitivity and sensibility toward a rapidly aging population.

That strategy works in sync with the Region of York’s strategies for seniors’ needs and issues, including housing and transit. Markham’s five senior adults clubs have approximately 4,800 members. And many more figure to be on the way.

"We know we have to get ready for growth in that age group and one strategy is becoming an age-friendly community," said Creighton.

Markham’s facilities are fully accessible. Programming includes an extreme range of activities from cards and crafts to more physically demanding

sports such as volleyball, she said.

Sometimes it is as simple as redesigning playing surfaces with lines corresponding to the introduction of new activities.

For instance, the Aariin Community Centre and Library, due to open in Markham this fall, will include lines for pickleball on its court surfaces, in addition to traditional court sport lines.

In Newmarket and Georgina, at least one set of two tennis courts in each municipality have been reconfigured into pickleball courts.

The racquet sport combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis, but is played on a smaller surface and a lower net.

"Pickleball is a growing sport and one of the fastest

growing in North America," said Newmarket director of recreation and culture, Colin Service, noting the conversion in 2016 of two tennis courts into six pickleball courts. "We had a demand to provide a facility and this facility was the right size for six pickleball courts.

"It was the perfect storm of several factors coming together. There is nothing on the books right now, but we are always ready to adapt (to demand)."

Service points out the municipality is not simply acting impulsively, but based on needs gathered through interaction with citizens. It doesn’t always mean bringing into action bulldozers and moving the earth.

It’s noteworthy that municipalities’ activities maga-

zine unfailingly include a section dedicated to activities for older athletes.

"For our recreation playbook we did a lot of research and consultation," said Service. "As baby boomers age, they don’t always want program-specific facilities as much as something to do that is age-specific.

"We have added a lot of group fitness classes, so it’s less about hard impact classes and toward full body and core conditioning. Stuff that is a lot easier on the joints."

Georgina has been an avid booster of sports for seniors and has hosted Seniors Games events regularly since 1995.

Georgina has seniors centres, or Club 55 facilities, in Keswick, Sutton and Pefferlaw. Additionally, a pro-

posed multi-use recreation facility in the south end of Keswick will be designed with seniors’ needs in mind.

"Georgina has one of the highest rates of seniors’ participation," said director of recreation and culture Robin McDougall. "We are responding to this very active group. It’s now a more active group than ever and we have to be more creative to meet their needs.

The regular standbys such as cards, billiards and darts are sharing the spotlight with carpet bowling, shuffleboard and yoga, among other activities.

"It’s definitely a more active (age group) than even 15 years ago," said McDougall.

"It’s a younger senior that wants to be more active."

The message is plain and simple: Play on!

Highland Farms to celebrate opening of new store Friday

2 suspects sought for distraction theft

a deli counter with a wide selection of cuts, cheeses and other freshly-prepared foods, the company said in news release.

Highland Farms used to have a location on Rutherford Road, near Hwy. 400, but that store along with a couple of others was rebranded as a Coppa’s Freshmarket a few years ago.

In conjunction with the new store opening, Highland is donating $10,000 to the Mackenzie Health Foundation for the Vaughan Hospital.

Highland Farms is making a return of sorts to Vaughan.

The family-owned supermarket chain is marking the opening of its newest store at the corner of Dufferin Street and Major Mackenzie Drive Friday, March 31.

The 56,000-square-foot supermarket will feature fresh produce that supports local farmers, organic natural food alternatives, a market-style meat counter staffed by knowledgeable butchers, and

ABOUT US

Are tougher fines required for distracted drivers?

The symbolism was perhaps a bit heavy handed, but the message was crystal clear.

In the continuing effort by police to convince drivers that texting or talking on cellphones while behind the wheel can be disastrous, Toronto police put a hearse into service as an unmarked vehicle on Feb. 21.

The grim visual, part of a weeklong effort to combat distracted driving in the city, was intended to convey the message to motorists that using mobile hand-held devices could land you or someone else in that sombre vehicle, so common to funeral It’s important to processions.

If the approach seems point out that dramatic, it’s important to point out that authorities authorities are are fighting an uphill battle when it comes to ending fighting an distracted driving, as they uphill battle are with impaired driving, decades of powerful when it comes to despite messaging and RIDE camending distracted paigns.

Last year, police observed driving. the phenomenon become even more common than drunk driving. By the end of August last year, there were 38 distracted-driving deaths, compared to 19 impairedrelated fatalities. Overall, 2016 saw 309 traffic fatalities on OPP-patrolled roads, up from 301 the year before, and distracted driving was one of the main causes.

In Ontario, texting, talking into a hand-held mobile device, even eating while driving, can result in a fine between $490 and $1,000, plus the loss of three demerit points. A ticket can also result in a $200 or more uptick on your insurance bill. Distracted driving has been illegal in this province since 2009.

Insurance Bureau of Canada statistics show that a driver is 23 times more likely to be involved in a collision if texting while driving and four times more likely if talking on a cellphone. Eighty per cent of collisions involve some sort of driver inattention.

But drivers continue to do it.

A Canadian Automobile Association survey, conducted late last year, revealed that 33 per cent of Canadians admit to texting at red lights.

If stiffer penalties are what’s required (Transport Minister Marc Garneau is calling for national standards on fines) then they should be implemented. We can’t allow distracted drivers to continue to make our roads more dangerous.

• LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Reality doesn’t align with opinion on renewables Re: OPINION: Don’t blame renewable energy for Ontario’s electricity costs, March 9.

Keith Brooks, programs director at Environmental Defence, is quoted as saying ".

To keep costs low, we need to see more renewables in Ontario’s future," and, "Wind and solar power costs are plummeting.".

Meanwhile, in the real world things don’t match up with Mr. Brooks’ take on renewables. For every source of solar- or wind-generated electricity that is attached to the grid, there must be a "conventional" generating source (nuclear, hydro, gasfired generators) of equivalent output.

The conventional sources are required to provide the stability of a baseload to the grid and to ensure the grid provides sufficient electricity when the wind is not blowing and the sun is not shining.

In other words, there first must be enough conventional sources of electricity to meet consumers’ demand. Then, one can add (and this is not cheap to do) intermittent sources of power to the grid.

The Auditor General for Ontario, in at least two reports, has quantified the billions of dollars that this scenario has needlessly cost Ontarians. Similar experiences have occurred around the world.

Australian politicians are in panic mode because the government’s actions to shut down conventional generating sources in fa-

vour of so-called "green" energy) have led to an official forecast that the country will have insufficient electricity in 2018-19. Businesses have shut down, or have reduced staff to cut costs, partly in response to skyrocketing prices for electricity (think, subsidies) and due to power blackouts (see the state of South Australia, particularly).

Germany, a country with one of the most ambitious green targets, is now considering the construction of 12 coal-fired generating plants to replace nuclear plants they are planning to shut and so as to add more reliability to their grid because of the country’s experience with unreliable wind power.

A study of Spain, another country with massive wind power on their grid,

demonstrated that, for every job created by "green" power, two to four jobs were lost.

Mr. Brooks might also like to explain why some other jurisdictions are not enthusiastic about "green" power.

Just one, for instance: there are 1,500 to 2,000 coalfired plants under construction or planned for China, other parts of Asia, and the Middle East for completion between now and 2020. I consider that a major refutation of Mr. Brooks’ statements about the costs of green power.

Speaking as an Ontario ratepayer and taxpayer, we need to vigorously push back against the egregious myths that Mr. Brooks and those of his ilk have been perpetrating on us.

Vaughan has adopted a new approach to funding the system that deals with stormwater (rain and melting snow not absorbed by the ground). And that’s why the separate charge will appear on your bill.

Until now, Vaughan collected taxes for its stormwater system through the wastewater fee and your property taxes.

But at 6.85 per cent of the wastewater fee, the city wasn’t collecting enough to repair and replace infrastructure while also implementing measures to improve water quality and address the rising number of severe flooding events resulting from climate change, said Chris Wolnik, Vaughan’s manager of wastewater and stormwater services.

So the city introduced a separate charge to generate more funding, primarily from large industrial and commercial operations.

Under the new system, property own-

ers with massive parking lots - think Vaughan Mills and Canada’s Wonderland - that generate a lot of stormwater run-off, pay the most at about $16,700.

Condo owners pay a fraction of that.

The charge for high-density developments is $184, which is divided among the units in the building.

For the average homeowner of a singledetached home, the fee is about $50 a year, rather than $100 under the current system.

"The homeowner is paying a lot less because they’re using the system less, but the big industrial/commercial folks are paying, potentially, more than they used to because they’re using the wastewater infrastructure more," Wolnik said. "It’s a user fee type of approach as opposed to our previous one-size-fits-all approach."

Money generated by the charge will go directly toward the costs of operating, building and maintaining the stormwater system, Wolnik said.

It will also go toward implementing measures to deal with flooding and erosion as well monitoring water quality in storm ponds and taking proactive steps to prevent contaminants such as fertilizers, oil and pesticides from getting into local rivers and streams.

PEOPLE

Vaughan writer pursuing her childhood dream ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS amartinrobbins@yrmg.com Jessica Boyd grew up dreaming of being a writer.

Though she spent eight years in a job that combined her talents for weaving together words with her training as an educator, Boyd just recently plunged fully into the writing world, starting a publishing company and launching her first book.

Bear Hockey is a 26page, picture book for children.

"It’s a great story," the 36year-old mother of two said.

"It’s all about bears playing the final hockey game before hibernation. It’s a very inclusive story, any bear can play."

Boyd grew up in Toronto, but moved to Vaughan with her parents while she was at university. "(Writing has) always been my passion, but I did other things because everybody says you can’t be a

writer; you have to have a backup plan," she said.

Boyd’s back up plan?

Teacher’s college.

But after graduating she was hesitant about entering the profession, turning down three job offers.

"My parents were freaking out, going: ’You’re going to be unemployed forever.’"

Boyd worked as a tutor and watched the job boards hoping something would pique her interest.

One day, she spotted a posting for a job at Ganz.

The toy company was seeking a writer with an educational background for its Webkinz World website; a perfect fit Boyd thought.

She landed the job and enjoyed it, but eventually started thinking about launching her own company. Working full time made that difficult.

Then she had children, was at home with them, and "thought let’s do it."

Buttertart Books was born and Boyd needed a

Vaughan writer Jessica Boyd has started a publishing company, Buttertart Books, and is launching her first book, Bear Hockey, illustrated by Maurizio Curto. book to announce its arrival. She chose Bear Hockey, which she’d written several years ago while part of a writers group.

"This is definitively this publishing company’s book because the goal of my com-

pany is to do books that are just a little more offbeat than what you’d see in traditional publishing; just a little more fun, a little more whacky. Bear Hockey fits that mould," said Boyd, who moved back to Vaughan

from Toronto about seven years ago. When it came time to select an illustrator, Boyd turned to Webkinz World colleague Maurizio Curto.

"Through the artwork, we wanted to give it a lot of

bold colours, a lot of modern thick line strokes so the kids don’t feel like they’re reading something from 30 years ago," Curto said. "It still has that children’s book, warm kind of feeling to it, but with that excitement of bears playing and a lot of action going on throughout every page."

Boyd echoes that.

"The entire thing is really fast-paced," she said.

"The illustrations make it come alive."

Though it’s an upbeat book, ideal for bedtime reading, Boyd said it also carries an important message.

"It turns out the little bear is the one that actually wins the game," she said.

"We wanted to have that empowering message to kids that you can do it to, even though there are all these other more experienced, larger bears, you can be the one that wins it."

Separate Pride event moving to new location l Continued from page 1

Region to proclaim Pride Week.

"Richmond Hill is a very, very inclusive community and we did our best to work with [Pride Fest] . We absolutely support Pride," said town spokesperson Meeta Gandhi.

But Gal said local support for the event had declined in recent years and it was time to move on.

Gal said he’d tried to encourage local business involvement, asking them to post a parade flyer in their window, "but I felt like I was annoying them. I only ever saw it in one window Pharmasave".

The pharmacy, two other businesses and the Fal-

con and Firkin were their only supporters in the Richmond Hill village, he said.

On the other hand, he said, Newmarket businesses have responded with enthusiasm.

"I don’t want to be tarring everyone with the same brush but there are very different ethnic demographics between the two downtowns . Before we even started planning the festival in Newmarket we were getting more support there. The visual atmosphere will be very different, much more rainbows, engagement from businesses."

Glenn Wilson, BIA chairperson and owner of Canada T, welcomes the

event and anticipates a decorated village with rainbow flags in flowerpots.

"After all," he said, "it’s a whole new day and age."

Tom Zielinski, owner of Bike Sports located at the north end of the Main Street parade route, agrees.

When Zielinski left a communist regime to emigrate to Canada, he said he embraced the diversity and freedom here.

"We have to move forward. These millennials, they are smart cookies. We give them so little credit but they have so much common sense. They are walking with the world in their pocket."

Gal said the Newmarket Farmers Market has partnered with the event and

there are plans for giveaways, draws, storytelling in the story pod featuring work by LGBT+ authors and performances on the Riverwalk Commons stage.

The artisans festival run by the Lions Club is set for the same weekend at nearby Fairy Lake.

"When you have multiple things to go to, it means you can park your car, take a shuttle with your family for breakfast or food at the Farmers Market, watch the parade then walk the trails at Fairy Lake or check out the jewelry and art and make a whole day out of it."

Stephanie Ramsden, owner of Sweets Instore British import, hopes to hang a rainbow-coloured Union Jack.

"Everyone’s welcome here," she said. "As long as it’s not smutty - and it’s not supposed to be like that then it’s a great thing, bringing everybody together. Newmarket is a really supportive community for everyone."

To distinguish itself from the Toronto Pride parade that has become notorious for its provocative participants, the York Region event does not allow nudity and follows a code of ethics to ensure it is appropriate for families, Gal said.

But some businesses in Richmond Hill weren’t so sure.

Mehrdad Sabouhi, BIA chair in Richmond Hill, said local businesses want events in their village but

some don’t view the parade as family oriented.

Others disagree with closing Yonge street - and losing business - for several hours.

Michele Brunet, owner of Unwind Yarn House in Newmarket, understands their concern about lost business - she says it’ll hurt her, too, when Main Street is closed - but she believes it is worth it.

"In the long run it benefits me because it lets people know about this area. It brings vibrancy and shows Newmarket is an inclusive community."

Man charged with luring a child, making child porn A 27-year-old Vaughan man has been arrested and charged with luring a child as well as for making and possessing child pornography, among other charges. The York Regional Police Special Victims Unit-Internet Child Exploitation Team (ICE) announced the arrest and charges Friday, March 24.

In September 2016, the ICE unit received information from the National Child Exploitation Co-ordination Centre (NCECC) in Ottawa about a person in York Region who was believed to be extorting a young teenage female victim into sending sexual pictures and videos of herself. Investigators made an arrest and laid charges Wednesday, March 22.

Based on the investigation, investigators allege the accused has been active on Internet chat sites looking for teenage victims to obtain sexual material, videos and images.

He is known to use the email address kingcheetah01@hotmail.com. Investigators believe there may be other victims and are asking anyone who had contact with the accused to come forward.

Muhammad Luqman Rana, 27, of Vaughan is charged with extortion, luring a child, voyeurism, making child pornography, invitation to sexual touching and possession of child pornography.

He is slated to appear in Newmarket court April 18. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Special Victims Unit-Internet Child Exploitation Team at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7078.

For Bozzo, UMass scholarship timing is perfect fit JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com Timing and patience are good linemates. Just ask Marco Bozzo.

The Newmarket Hurricanes forward was hoping a series upset or two in the Ontario Junior Hockey League playoffs would extend his junior hockey career. So, when the season came to an end with a sixgame opening round series loss to the Trenton Golden Hawks March 12, it hurt.

However, the Woodbridge resident flourished in a stretch run drive and in the playoff series for the Hurricanes to twig the attention of college scouts, ultimately resulting in a scholarship offer from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.

"I don’t know if it’s the nicest way to leave," said the 20-year-old Bozzo, who finished second on the

Newmarket Hurricanes’ Marco Bozzo in action last October.

Hurricanes in scoring this season with 23 goals and 43 points in 50 games. "It wasn’t a nice ending to lose but this helps."

Bozzo returned from a

three-game suspension in time to bolster the Hurricanes’ push to the playoffs on the strength of an 11game unbeaten streak. At one stretch, he had 13

5 days only!

points in an eight-game span as the Hurricanes put together their playoff drive.

Bozzo, who was acquired by the Hurricanes

in a trade with the Toronto Patriots about a month into the 2015-16 season, points to several factors for his second-half flourish as the Hurricanes pushed to the post-season.

"I think I had the opportunities in the first part of the season," said the speedy forward, who had five points, including three goals, in six playoff games. "But I think coming into the final half of my last season I had to make a move. I wasn’t being talked to by a lot of DI schools at the start but they found me.

"I just decided to put it all into the bowl and see what happens. It all happened in just a few days.

The timing was perfect to pick it up."

Bozzo has been taking courses at the University of Toronto in the hopes that something would develop on the NCAA front.

It was a good game plan for

the 20-year-old who plans to pursue studies in business or finance.

"To be honest, my entire commitment is based on it being a good opportunity for me personally," said Bozzo. "Going to another school I might not get the same kind of playing time or money. UMass was the first school to talk to me so they were my first choice."

For Hurricanes’ head coach Thomas Milne, the lesson taken is that patience is important and school packages follow no timetable. He thinks too many players surrender their dreams prematurely.

"Too many parents and kids want to get on with school and think it is a sprint," said Milne. "It’s a marathon. Hockey Canada says you can play until 20 so why not stay and see what happens."

For Bozzo, that game plan worked nicely.

THE STUDY A Transportation Master Plan (TMP) for the New Community Areas and the surrounding north Vaughan area is being carried out in parallel and in close coordination with the Block 27 and Block 41 Secondary Plan studies (See Map for Study Area).

The objective of this plan is to look at both internal and external factors that contribute to achieving sustainable transportation for residents and businesses while ensuring recommendations of the plan address needs ranging from immediate to future growth.

THE PROCESS This Study follows the master planning process described in the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007 and 2011), including consultation with the public and stakeholders, consideration of all reasonable alternatives, a high level assessment of the effects on the environment at the network level, evaluation of alternatives highlighting advantages and disadvantages, and full documentation of the process providing a traceable rationale for conclusions reached. The Master Plan process shall satisfy Phase I and II of the Municipal Class EA for recommended infrastructure improvements: Phase I - Completed, which assessed existing conditions, context and challenges; and Phase II – Technical analysis and incorporating input from the public and stakeholders, project team will develop network plans and identify triggers for different infrastructure needs, phasing of projects and an action plan.

PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE (PIC) #2 PIC#2 identifies alternative transportation networks, recommends a preferred transportation network, and seeks your input on specific elements of the preferred network in the study area. This meeting is coordinated with the final public open house for the Block 27 Secondary Plan Study and the associated Kirby Transit Hub Sub-Study.

TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com Ontario is boosting its annual minimum wage for workers to $11.60 per hour from $11.40 effective Oct. 1.

It marks the fourth annual minimum wage increase for full-time work-

ers since the province announced annual increases would be implemented starting in 2014.

The government said it has raised full-time minimum wage incomes by $2,782 per year over the past four years.

The general minimum wage has jumped from

$6.85 in 2004 and was frozen from 1996-2003.

Minimum wage annual increases are tied to Ontario’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), a measure of inflation in legislation that was passed in 2014.

They are announced for Oct. 1 annually by April 1 each year.

Suspects nabbed after alleged home invasion A King Township man and a Markham man are among four suspects arrested after what police say was a home invasion in Vaughan Tuesday.

Police used their helicopter, Air2, and the Canine unit to track four men who ran from a home on Lavender Place, in the area of Ansley Grove Road and Blue Willow Drive.

Police say one of the suspects was carrying a loaded .40 calibre Glock hand-

gun at the time of the arrest.

Police say the two victims in the home sustained minor injuries. Police believe the homeowners were targeted by the suspects.

Video of this incident captured by Air 2 is available for viewing at yorkregion.com Charged with robbery with a firearm, forcible confinement, use of a firearm with committing of-

fence, unauthorized possession of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon and disguise with intent are: Pasquale Leone, 30, of King Township; Terry O’del Sinclair, 33, of Markham; Akil Abou-Bekoe, 31, of Montreal, and Jermaine White, 35, of no fixed address.

The four men appeared in Newmarket Court on Wednesday for a bail hearing.
