Teena Bogner, president of the Newmarket Taxpayers Advocacy Group, isn’t surprised by a report saying government workers get paid more than their private sector counterparts.

Bloated bureaucracy: Do we pay public servants too much? LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com A new report from a public policy think tank that highlights the gold-plated salaries and benefits government workers receive compared to their private-sector counterparts comes as no surprise to a York Region taxpayers’ group.

“They have formidable pension plans, they have excellent benefits, and for the most part, where most of us are putting in eight- to 12-hour days, they are putting in their seven-and-ahalf-hour days. Not that I have a problem with that,” Teena Bogner, president of the Newmarket Taxpayers Advocacy Group said about the study released last

week by the Fraser Institute. “And I think the entire bureaucracy, whether it’s provincial, municipal or federal, is quite bloated.” But residents should consider the wide range of services provided by skilled public sector employees before swallowing a report from a right-leaning organization, said Doug Sheppard,

unit chair of Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 905, which represents about 5,000 municipal workers in the region. “The Fraser Institute isn’t exactly a progressive group,” he said. “In terms of our wages, I think our members are paid fairly for ● See STUDY, page 20

Manage your great expectations to survive the holidays

Lisa Queen lqueen@yrmg.com Come on, you know you do it. Despite years of evidence to the contrary, you picture the holidays as something akin to a Norman Rockwell painting with rosy-cheeked children and loving family members gathered around a perfectly cooked feast. So, why do gatherings of loved ones tend to end up like a scene out of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation instead? All-American goofy dad Clark Griswold may dream of the perfect oldfashioned family celebration but instead ends up with bickering and eccentric relatives, pretentious neighbours, mooching family members, an overcooked turkey carcass, an incinerated Christmas tree, a jelly of the month work bonus, a police SWAT team, a trailer chemical toilet-related explosion and 25,000 energy-sapping outdoor lights. Sound familiar? York Region experts are weighing in with some tips to help manage our great expectations so we don't drive ourselves crazy in the pursuit of perfection. The best way to make the most of the holidays for yourself, not to mention your family and guests who are bound to prefer comfortable glad tidings over stressed out ostentation, is to keep things as simple as possible, according to Thornhill's Sara Dimerman and Newmar-

ket's Kathy Russell. "Most people want to impress their guests by being the hosts and hostesses with the mostest. They may have the best Christmas ornaments and hand embroidered towels hanging in the bathroom," psychologist and author Dimerman said. "However, keep in mind that if you overdo things, guests may feel that they could never do as well and may even be reluctant to invite you back for fear of being judged as not good

and they hate everything. Just keep it simple, I can't stress that enough," she said. Consider hiring outside help for tasks you just can't stand doing yourself. Butler Girl is offering a holiday special of three hours work for $150. Russell's other suggestions include sticking to a budget, making sure the size of your tree is appropriate for the size of the room and allows for easy flow of traffic and keeping a stash of hostess gifts available so you don't have to rush out when the stores are crammed. Dimerman also offered several helpful hints. "Order in. Even though you may think that this shows less effort on your part, keep in mind that if you're not so frazzled from preparing food all day, you

enough. So keep things simple, try not to go overboard in your striving for perfection and know that your good friends will love you for your flaws and imperfections." Russell, owner of Butler Girl Services concierge and professional organizing company, agreed. "I think the biggest thing is, I always say to people, keep it simple because they go all big, extravagant Norman Rockwell and it just becomes overwhelming," she said.

"And the other thing that I think is important is write everything down, from everyone you have to buy for to what you have to shop for on grocery day to setting up your house so it's down on paper and it's out of your head." Get any stuff that you can do early out of the way, Russell said. For example, set the dining room table a day or two in advance. "It just makes things simpler so as the day creeps up on us, at least one less thing needs doing." Decorate only the rooms you are going to use, said Russell, adding the technique will curb post-holiday burnout. "Because it's afterwards when everyone is just exhausted from it all and they look at the tree and they hate Christmas

may be an even more energetic host," she said. "Putting the ordered in food on nice platters may make you feel a bit better about putting in more effort and your guests will likely not be any the wiser." Consider a daytime drop-in open house rather than a sit-down evening meal. Discuss roles that each of your family members can play when entertaining. A smaller child can be responsible for hanging up guests' coats, for example, Dimerman said. "There's no shame in using recyclable paper plates rather than having to load or wish dishes," she said. "Again, no one usually minds and if they do, maybe they're not worth having on your guest list anyway." Prepare yourself in advance, Dimerman said. "If you're used to getting into a fight with your sibling every year, plan ahead to do something different before either of you erupt," she said. "You can't change other people, but changes in yourself have to impact on how others around you respond or react, too." If all else fails, remind yourself that no one else is having the perfect holiday either. "Watch movies about other dysfunctional families coming together so that you are reminded you are not alone and a certain amount of dysfunction is normal," Dimerman said.

A small portion also goes toward the city's $114 million capital plan, which includes about $16.5 million to convert streetlights city-wide to LED technology, $5.9 million to improve transit, pedestrian and cycling infrastructure

umours of the impending demise of Canada’s first-past-the-post voting system appear to have been exaggerated if recent developments on the electoral reform front are any indication. Then Liberal Party leader and now prime minister, Justin Trudeau, was emphatic throughout the 2015 election campaign that it would be the last conducted using the voting system that had been in place since Confederation. What a difference a year makes. Trudeau’s ambitions to see first-past-the-post replaced seem to have gone off the rails given the confusing scene that unfolded in Parliament this month. The committee tasked with examining electoral reform delivered its majority report recommending the government come up with a new system and put it to voters via a referendum, but that notion was dismissed by Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef. Instead, she suggested the all-party committee had failed in its mandate and simply kicked the can back to the government. Monsef went on to allege the committee’s membership had overcomplicated the issue. The opposition, naturally, took umbrage and defended their members, while, in some cases, also attempting to hoist Trudeau by his own petard. An easy target, perhaps, given that some Liberal members have expressed mixed feelings on the push for electoral reform in time for the 2019 election and that the prime minister, himself, has suddenly seemed reluctant on the idea, going so far as to suggest that the urgency for reform lessened when his government won power. Despite everything, Monsef says her hope is that some form of electoral reform legislation will be introduced in the spring. To get some sense of what that should look like, the federal government has launched an online survey, at mydemocracy.ca, and sent out information cards in the mail. This, too, has created controversy. Ultimately, democratic reform is a tricky thing, but the Liberals made pursuing it a crucial component of their platform during their election and shouldn’t be able to simply abandon it when the going gets tough. There are numerous ways to gauge support for different voting systems, and by all means pursue them, but remember that many of those who voted to elect this government likely did so, at least in part, because of the pledge to replace the antiquated first-past-the-post with something more democratic. Enough theatre. Let’s get on with it.

Pick of the Week: Newmarket Live Nativity Pageant AmAndA Persico apersico@yrmg.com

Apotex is currently recruiting healthy men and women to participate in studies on pharmaceutical products.

York Region’s

Pick of the week

The story of Christmas comes alive with the annual nativity pageant at Fairy Lake in Newmarket. The live nativity pageant takes place Dec. 21 to 23, at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., and one show on Dec. 24 at 7 p.m. The show, A Journey to Bethlehem presented by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the town of Newmarket, is a family favourite for 29 years. While the story dates back thousands of years, the annual pageant draws in families from near and far, with an average audience of about 500 to 1,000 per show. "This is a great opportunity for the community to celebrate the holidays in a beautiful setting," said Newmarket's special

The Live Nativity Pageant at Fairly Lake Park in Newmarket, an annual Christmas tradition, takes place Dec. 21 to 23, at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., and on Dec. 24 at 7 p.m. events programmer, Deanna Smith. Not only does the free outdoor show feature a live cast with special appearances by the mayor and councillors, it also features some furry friends - sheep, llama and a donkey. More than 75 volunteers from the church and community help put on the live show, including lighting, sound, and ushering

patrons to the show. Plan to arrive about 20 minutes early to allow for parking and walking to the performance area since parking at Fairy Lake will be reserved for accessible parking.

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

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

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

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

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

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

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Vaughan Home for Sale 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

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.

To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-324-3520 and enter 1003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

Vaughan International Film Festival marking milestone "When we tell people how long we've been around, most people say, 'Wow, I feel like it's been longer.' We definitely feel the same way. With everything we've built over the last five years, especially having come from nothing, we look at this as something of a milestone." To help mark that milestone, the festival is expanding its scholarship program for "upand-coming artists" to students provincewide. Now Gr. 12 students at

AdAm mArtin-robbins amartinrobbins@yrmg.com Vaughan's annual celebration of short films has expanded its reach every year since its inception, and 2017 is no different. "Going into our fifth year feels like an anniversary to us," said Mark Pagliaroli, cofounder, along with Antonio Ienco, of the recently rebranded Vaughan International Film Festival.

any Ontario high school with at least two arts or technology credits (visual arts, music, dance, drama, film, photography, fashion, technological design, construction technology) and an over 80 per cent grade average in their current arts or technology course, can apply to win one of three $1,000 scholarships. Alternatively, teachers can nominate a student from their Grade 12 arts or technology program.

BOXING MONTH EVENT

Expansion of the scholarship program follows last year's decision to accept student film submissions from across Ontario. The deadline for scholarship applications and film submissions is Jan. 31. This year's festival runs four days, from May 15 to May 18. As always, there will be two days of film screenings, an industry seminar day and an awards ceremony to close things out.

As for the international film segment, submissions are pouring in with more than 60 already received from countries around the world including Australia, France, India, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Turkey, the United States and the United Arab Emirates. "Since we see VFF 2017 as a milestone, there's a pressure we're putting on ourselves to make this the biggest festival yet," Pagliaroli said. To find out more, visit www. vaughanfilmfestival.com

the work they do. In the public sector, we have workers that are highly skilled and educated. I think of our paramedics at the region. Highly skilled and you’re putting your life in their hands.” Sheppard also questioned why the Fraser Institute didn’t include the astronomical salaries and bonuses taken home

by some corporate CEOs. The study, called “Comparing Government and Private Sector Compensation in Canada”, found government workers earned salaries 10.6 per cent higher on average than comparable workers in 2015, the most recent year of data from Statistics Canada’s labour force survey. The wage gap took into account differences of

workers in the two sectors, such as their age, gender, education, tenure, type of work, industry and occupation, the report said. Government workers also surpass private sector employees in other areas, the study said. For example, 89.3 per cent of public sector workers were covered by a registered pension plan compared to only 23.8

per cent of private sector employees. Government workers retired 2.3 years before their private sector counterparts. Public sector workers took 12.7 personal leave days compared to 7.8 days for private sector employees. Private sector workers* were about seven times more likely to be laid off than public sector

employees. “With the federal government running a large deficit and provincial and municipal governments across the country looking to control spending, bringing public sector compensation in line with the private sector would reduce financial pressure,” study coauthor Charles Lammam, the institute’s director of fiscal studies, said in a statement.

“Of course, governments need to provide competitive compensation to attract qualified employees, but the fact is wages and benefits in the public sector are out of step with the private sector. Closing the compensation gap would not only help governments reduce spending without affecting services, it would also increase fairness for taxpayers.”

Stephanie Gaglione, seen at a spirit event with a decorated University of Toronto engineering hardhat, is headed to Oxford University next year after obtaining a Rhodes Scholarship.

Local engineering student lands Rhodes Scholarship AdAm mArtin-robbins amartinrobbins@yrmg.com

yorkregion.com

Stephanie Gaglione has won a prestigious scholarship to a top-flight university, but the 22-year-old Woodbridge woman, who enjoys rock climbing, sees it as a "stepping-stone" en route to the summit. Gaglione, a chemical engineering major at the University of Toronto, was recently awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University in England. "I still have many years of education ahead. I've always tended to think that for something to be truly impactful in your field it takes many years," she said. "Rhodes is fantastic, but I see it as a stepping-stone to what I hope will be a fruitful and world-serving career." She's one of 11 Canadian students, and 95 worldwide, awarded a 2017 Rhodes Scholarship. It's the latest achievement in an already stellar academic career. Gaglione graduated from Thornhill's St. Robert Catholic High School in 2012 with a 99.67 per cent average. During her time there, Gaglione developed a keen interest in science. In Grade 11, she emailed a list of professors in hopes one would offer to mentor her and allow her to gain experience in a lab. To her surprise, a U of T professor agreed and Gaglione spent more than a year doing research at Sick Kids hospital. "I think that's when science really became something that was no longer a lesson out of a textbook, but a field that is constantly changing and I resolved that I was interested in the design field for health," she said. After high school, Gaglione decided to pursue a degree in chemical engineering, with a minor in bioengineering, at U of T.

Following stints as an intern at pharmaceutical firm Sanofi Pasteur and Procter &amp; Gamble, Gaglione switched focus. She landed an internship at the World Health Organization in Geneva where she studied challenges to vaccination and immunization programs in middle-income countries. Then Gaglione garnered a Fulbright Canada fellowship to pursue research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which "revolutionized" her outlook on academia. "When I returned to the University of Toronto, I had an entirely different perspective than the one I left with," she said. Then came the Rhodes scholarship, which Gaglione was surprised she landed. "I felt that I didn't quite fit the mould of a typical student interested in the program," Gaglione said. "At least at the University of Toronto, engineering students aren't usually the students who decide to pursue a degree at Oxford through Rhodes." Dr. Graeme Norval, associate professor and former associate chair and undergraduate co-ordinator of chemical engineering at U of T, wasn't surprised at all. "She's probably the best student we've had in the last decade," he said. "She's got a good work/life balance, between sports and other activities, but, also, she understands the material almost intuitively." At Oxford, Gaglione intends to focus her studies on biomaterial platforms for delivering vaccines. "I'm particularly interested in drug delivery platforms for low and middleincome countries," she said. After that? "I see myself as possibly pursuing entrepreneurship in the field of biotechnology and perhaps doing that as a professor or as a postgraduate student, but path still undetermined."

Remember the Reason for the Season... Sending Warm Wishes To You And Your Family During The Holiday Season! May 2017 Bring Peace & Prosperity HAGGITH, Marvin A. (January 5, 1940-December 9, 2016) It is with great sadness that we announce that Marvin Haggith passed away peacefully at home on Friday, December 9, 2016, in his 77th year, after living gracefully and coping bravely with brain cancer for the past 16 months. Marvin is reunited with his dear parents, Marvin, Sr. and Irma, and is survived by his beloved wife, Becky; his cherished sons David (Koriena), Scott (Katie) and Stephen (Gina); grandsons Christian and Luke, and sister, Irma. Dad lived a full and inspiring life, enjoying great success professionally during his years in pharmaceutical sales and marketing before venturing into executive search and human resources consulting with M.A. Haggith Consultants Ltd. He demonstrated the same passion and pursuit of perfection that served him so well professionally in the hobbies and past times that he enjoyed so much, including carpentry and woodworking; his life-long love of playing the piano; time spent boating on Georgian Bay and Lake Simcoe; tours with the York Simcoe Riders Motorcycle Club (Chapter K) and countless hours spent gardening. Dad was a wealth of knowledge on almost any subject and was always eager to help others wherever he could. He will be remembered as a man of faith who taught us many valuable lessons growing up including the importance of hard work and the satisfaction that comes from a ‘job well done’. Our family is grateful to Dr. James Perry and the staff at Sunnybrook Hospital, as well as to Dr. Paul Randall, Michelle, Erwin, Krista, Anthony and Vilma for their loving care in dad’s final days. Your kindness will always be remembered. In keeping with dad’s wishes, a private family burial will take place in Windsor, Ontario on Wednesday, December 14. An opportunity to celebrate dad’s life with friends will be held at the family home in King City on Sunday, January 15 from 1-4 p.m. In memory of Marvin Haggith, donations to the Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research - Sunnybrook Foundation would be greatly appreciated by the family.

Sincerely,

Michael Browne
