Vaughan’s connection to Female Eye Film Festival

EDUCATION

Trail-blazing construction class at Emily Carr

But at the time the TRCA report was tabled, regional staff had already abandoned the idea, in part after discovering just more than a month ago that the City Of Vaughan, back in 2009, transferred ownership of the entire portion of the park where the road could possibly go to the conservation authority.

Nearly 15 years have passed since Leslie Ann Coles founded the Female Eye Film Festival to give women directors a platform for showcasing their work.

So the longtime Woodbridge resident finds it surprising the conversation around the annual event hasn’t really changed.

The topic of that conversation?

The fact women directors still have to prove their mettle.

“If a woman loses her temper or gets emotional, she’s hysterical and unreliable. But if a man walks on set, hurls a light at his DP (director of photography), or anything like that, it’s OK,” Coles said in a recent phone interview.

“I think that conversation continues to inform us and that we need to create a climate where women’s working style and nature is accepted and embraced. The objective there is to be allowed to be a woman so that the culture of film and television become accustomed to the way in which women work.”

Environmentalists were bracing for another epic showdown with municipal officials over a proposal to extend Pine Valley Drive through Boyd Conservation Area.

But, it turns out, that’s not going to happen — at least not for now.

Red flags shot up a week ago when Vaughan environmental

activists spotted a staff report on the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority website.

The report recommended, in part, the agency’s board oppose a proposal by the Region of York, as part of its Transportation Master Plan update, to look at extending Pine Valley Drive south from Rutherford Road down through Boyd Park to Clubhouse Road, to complete the missing link to Langstaff Road.

Bianca Forgione is open to the idea of following in her father’s footsteps and working in the construction industry some day.

“It’s definitely an option,” the 15-year-old Emily Carr Secondary School student said. “We’re still young, so we’re still thinking about what we want to do and how it coincides with our courses, but I think it’s definitely an option.”

Even if she doesn’t wind up doing what her dad does for a living, Forgione’s a lot more comfortable bashing nails into two-by-fours with a claw hammer or slicing cross cuts into them with a mitre saw than she was just a few months ago.

The same goes for many of the 21 other students she works alongside in the girlsonly construction technology class offered at the Woodbridge high school.

Teacher Danny Paolino started the course in response to a scenario he’s seen play out year after year during his two decades teaching shop classes at high schools in Toronto and York Region.

“We always had one or two girls come into the class to take the course, but they always felt intimidated because they were just one or two girls and it’s all boys,” Paolino explained. “Typically, when the course would start, the first thing I’d get from them is, ‘Sir, I think I want to drop the course. I don’t want to be here; it’s all boys.’”

So, a couple of years ago, he floated the idea of launching a girls-only construction technology class to his department head and principal.

After hammering out the details, the course — which teaches students the basics of woodworking, electrical and plumbing — got rolling in February.

The response has been incredible, Paolino said.

“My principal says, ‘You know what? Even if we only get five girls, we’ll get the class going.’ Not only did we get a full class of girls; there’s a waiting list,” he said. “We thought we’d get a good number of girls. I didn’t think it would be as popular as it is.

“Especially now, thinking that there might possibly be two classes next year is amazing.”

For their first project, students built a relatively simple wooden birdhouse.

“It was a hand-tools-based project. I kind of wanted them to get their hands wet working with hammers, nails, doing cutting with a handsaw,” Paolino said.

Next, they created customdesigned and decorated cutting boards as a way to introduce them to using power tools such as table and mitre saws, thickness planers and jointers.

Following that, the girls are slated to gain experience with electrical wiring — making connections to switches, plugs and lights — and the basics of plumbing.

Then, for their final project, the students will be tasked with making a piece of furniture.

“It’s been amazing; they absolutely love it,” Paolino said. “For the most part, I find that the girls pay much more attention to detail.

Some of the work they do is just outstanding. They really take pride in what they do, whereas sometimes, I find, the boys just want to get it done as quickly as possible; it’s more about just trying to finish it.

We do have boys that are into detail and do a good job, but overall I find the girls do that a whole lot better.”

The course at Emily Carr is currently the only one of its kind in York Region, according to officials at both the public

Manmeet Bedi sands her cutting board during a morning shop class at Emily Carr Secondary School earlier this semester. Teacher Danny Paolino has launched the first girls-only construction class in York Region and there’s a waiting list to get in. and Catholic school boards, but a similar program is slated to get underway in the fall at St. Joan of Arc Catholic High School in Maple.

A handful of other school boards offer girls-only programs to entice female students to consider careers in the skilled trades.

For instance, St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School in Brampton, part of the Dufferin-Peel District Catholic School Board, has offered an all-girls auto mechanics class for the past three years.

Lakeshore Collegiate Institute, in the Toronto public board, started a group called the “Woodchicks” three years ago.

The group, which fluctuates in size between six and 14 girls, meets weekly at lunch to work on a variety of projects.

Francesca Del Duca is certainly pleased that such a program exists at Emily Carr.

In Grade 9, she took an exploring technology course, which included a session in the shop class — making nameplates and CO2 cars —

and really enjoyed it.

When she entered Grade 10 this year, Del Duca signed up for the traditional co-ed construction class, but she was a bit nervous at the prospect of being one of just a few girls in a workshop full of boys.

After hearing Paolino was starting a girls-only option this semester, she quickly dropped the co-ed class and enrolled in his course.

She’s happy about the decision and says her parents are pleased too. “(We’re learning) basic skills you can do at home,” said the 16-year-old Grade 10 student.

Del Duca’s classmate Emily Faria found herself in the same situation, even though her mother has her own toolbox and does much of the handiwork around the house herself.

“I was going to take the normal construction class, then I realized there was a girls’ one… It’s a lot better,” Faria said, admitting it would have been intimidating to be in a male-dominated class.

Faria is thinking about using what she’s learned to try to earn a bit of money.

“I have thought about doing a part-time kind of thing where I work at homes,” she said. “I could do something with it, but even just basic life skills, it’s good to have.”

If she or her classmates decide to pursue a career in the skilled trades, they’d still be among the minority.

Though women make up 47 per cent of the overall labour force, less than 12 per cent of construction workers are female and just 5 per cent of all skilled trades jobs are held by women, according to figures from Status of Women Canada.

Paolino hopes his class will help alter that by inspiring his students and shop teachers at other schools.

“The biggest part of this whole thing is opening the doors to careers possibly in the trades for some of these girls because, unless they’re exposed to it, they really don’t know what’s out there,” said

Paolino, who has a daughter of his own. “There’s always this push to get girls into the trades, but nobody really ever does anything about it.”

John Meinen, president of the Ontario Homebuilders’ Association (OHBA), applauds programs like Paolino’s, but he, too, feels more needs to be done to address the shortage of skilled tradespeople in Canada.

“Obviously, we’re running short on people who want to do this type of work,” he said.

“We can’t afford to restrict our search for skilled people for the skilled trades to half the population. That’s why I think it’s so great that women are getting into it… and I love seeing it.”

Meinen says there are a couple of things that can be done to help boost the number of Canadians working in the skilled trades.

“We understand, at the OHBA, that the leaders of tomorrow have to be mentored today and, I think, we have to get in even earlier. We have to get into the grade sixes and sevens,” he said.

There also needs to be a shift in the attitude many parents hold toward the trades, he said.

“Over the years, we’ve pushed nothing but ‘Get an education, get an education, and go to college, go to university’, and those are all great things, all my kids went to college or university, but I think we’re missing the mark,” Meinen said. “I think in Germany, when you go into the skilled trades, you’re put on the same level as a doctor or a lawyer or such… We need people to understand, in this industry you can do as well, or better, than people who have that education.”

COLUMN

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Yes, we’re Baby Boomers; no, we’re not selling our home

Doctors’ individual rights count, too

O

ur local newspapers have been publishing the stories for years now and the headlines all start to sound the same: “Record sales in May keep York’s housing market hopping” (way back in June 2007); “York’s housing market stays hot” (Nov. 2011); “York house values highest in GTA: MPAC” July 2012; “York house values continue to rise” (July 2012).

I could go on, but you get the general idea.

Those headlines about prices climbing and our hot housing market are interspersed with headlines like these: “York housing supply fails to meet needs” (May 2012) or “Housing tops York seniors’ worries “(May 2013).

It’s something everyone is talking and worrying about, which is why we’re publishing the latest series of stories — Through the roof; a Metroland special report.

As we all know, the escalating housing market, ridiculous bidding wars and sky-high prices aren’t just happening in York Region, but across the GTA. We know this issue is touching a chord with you, from letters to the editor and social media conversations — and plain old over-theback-fence discussions going on in every York Region community.

Take my own street in Richmond Hill — a microcosm of the housing market. On any given week, there are several homes up for sale or lease — and yes, some bear the “sold over asking” words on the signs.

The home directly beside my home was sold by longtime neighbours in December 2014, and a family lived there for about a year.

Then they were gone, and apparently the house was advertised again for sale online, yet no traditional realtor sign was seen.

The house has been empty for months now. I mow the dandelion-filled grass just so it doesn’t make our adjoining front yard look bad. The backyard of the house is pretty overgrown and prospective families troop in and out of the

Marney Beck home on weekends taking a look, I presume.

Another neighbour across the street had contractors working on her home, and speculation ran rampant — is she moving? Renting?

Or maybe just renovating?

And I’m getting those calls, too.

I answer our home phone and hear: “Hello, are you interested in selling your house?” No introductory “How do you do, I’m so and so...” just straight to the point: “You selling”?

“No” is our answer. And here are some reasons why.

My husband and I love our home, the short walk to the theatre, grocery and drug stores, parks and other amenities, and while incredible selling prices of other homes on our street give us pause for thought, we’re not ready to move for many years yet.

Yes, we’re Baby Boomers, and yes we’re staying in our homes as long as we can handle the stairs and the yard work.

My husband has had more than his share of health challenges, and depends on and greatly appreciates his doctors in our community — and our hospital. We hear stories about people moving to other places in Ontario having trouble finding a doctor — even a family doctor.

That’s one good reason we’re staying put.

Another is our son, age 24.

Although he has a full-time job, there’s no way he could afford an apartment in Richmond Hill with the high rents, much less enter the crazy housing market — even sharing a home purchase with friends.

So, hot housing market or not, we’re not selling.

Re: Right-to-die bill about individual rights, letter by Marnie Kolah, May 12.

I was seriously offended by this letter.

Whether or not the letter writer agrees with St. Joseph the Worker parishioners delivering 1,700 letters to MP Peter Kent is irrelevant.

She pays lip service to the fact that it is an “individual’s right to end his/her life” and that it is a private and personal decision.

If she really believed that, she would see no wrong in people delivering letters that reflect their “personal” opinions.

Ms Kolah thinks parishioners should go to confession because they are “smug and self righteous”.

What nerve to make such a determination without even knowing any of these people. Could she not think some of these 1,700 parishioners have watched their loved ones “waste away in intense discomfort and pain”?

I signed the petition and I have, unfortunately, watched more than one of my loved one go to their death “writhing” in discomfort and pain. Not a one asked to be assisted in dying an early death.

One, a few days before his death, cursed God when asked by his priest to accept the fact that he was going to die soon and to make his peace with that. He said as long as he had a breath, he would not ask God to take him.

My niece, just hours before her death,

vaughan CITIZE 580B Steven Court Newmarket, ON L3Y 4X1 yorkregion.com

GET CONNECTED HAVE YOUR SAY Send your letter to the editor to pfuthey@yrmg.com

vowed to me that she was going to beat the cancer that was eating her body.

I have many other examples like this and, I’m sure, so do others.

Seldom do people who are dying ask God (or some other deity in whom they believe) to take them away from their loved ones and their life.

Most petitioners feel that the “right-to-die bill” is a fait accompli and we respect the fact that it is a private and personal decision.

What most of us found difficult to understand (over and above the fact that in spite of not being “bible-thumpers,” we believe killing someone is a sin) is that doctors will be asked to recommend someone to patients to help them die if they won’t do it themselves.

Where is the individual’s right in that?

If a doctor — whether for religious, moral or other reasons — believes assisted dying is wrong, why should the law make them do it or force them to recommend someone who will?

Does the letter-writer not see that as being wrong?

“Our understanding, based on the land ownership through there now, is the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority owns right up to the private residences that are on the east side of what would have been the Pine Valley corridor. Now that the conservation authority owns right up to that limit and it’s part of their protected valley lands system, it really is precluded from accommodating or having major transportation infrastructure built within it,” Stephen Collins, a director in the region’s transportation services department, said in an interview Thursday.

“Interestingly, it’s not something we knew about when our technical team was putting the initial recommendations forward. It (the transfer of ownership) only came to our attention quite late in the TMP (Transportation Master Plan) process when the conservation authority brought it to our attention.”

Vaughan’s move to transfer ownership of the land to the TRCA happened a few years after a fierce battle between the city and a group of environmental activists, dubbed The Friends of Boyd Park, which received the support of renowned author and historian Pierre Berton.

The provincial government abruptly ended that fight by stepping into the fray and quashing the city’s plans to extend the road through Boyd Park about a decade ago, due to concerns about the impact on an environmentally sensitive area.

Sony Rai, part of the group Sustainable Vaughan, was happy to learn the extension through the park, home to old-growth trees and

endangered species, isn’t going ahead.

However, he’s a little concerned that it was even being looked at.

“That’s good news, but it’s troubling that it would even be considered given the provincial decision,” he said.

He also finds it troubling the region wasn’t aware the city had conveyed ownership of the road right-of-way lands to the TRCA. Since it’s no longer an option to punch Pine Valley Drive through to Langstaff, Collins said the regional staff will now have to explore, through a future “special study”, alternative options for easing traffic congestion on Islington Avenue and Weston Road such as creating dedicated transit lanes or HOV (high occupancy vehicle or carpool) lanes. “(We) would encourage the residents and businesses of the area to help us understand the needs as we go through that special study,” Collins said.

Before that process takes place, an updated version of the Transportation Management Plan, including without the proposal to look at extending Pine Valley Drive, is slated to go before York’s committee of the whole June 9 for adoption.

Members of the public can share their views on that document, meant to outline at a high level the upper-tier municipality’s plans to deal with the population boom expected in York between now and 2041, at the meeting.

If the updated transportation plan is adopted by the committee, it will go to Regional council for ratification later in June, Collins said.

❚ Vaughan man charged following complaint about paralegal service A 36-year-old Vaughan man is facing several charges following an investigation by the Ontario Provincial Police into a suspect who allegedly misrepresented himself as a paralegal.

The OPP’s highway enforcement team launched an investigation March 10 after receiving a complaint.

It is alleged the suspect had fraudulently represented himself as a paralegal in York, Peel and Durham regions and in Toronto by collecting money from victims to represent them in court proceedings.

It is also alleged the suspect sold fraudulent vehicle insurance documents.

Andres Francisco Santibanez Garcia, operating under the business name ASG Paralegal Services, in Maple, is facing a list of charges including four counts of obstructing a peace officer, four counts of obstructing justice, four counts of public mischief, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, two counts of obtain false pretence, use, deal and act in forged documents, two counts of personation with intent, four counts of driving while disqualified, two counts of fraud under $5,000 and two counts of identity documents.

He will appear in court June 24 at Old City Hall in Toronto.

Investigators believe there could be additional victims who may not be aware of potential fraud against them. They want to talk to anyone who has had dealings with the accused. Contact Sgt. Greg Clee at 905-841-5777.

Vaughan ranks high in places to live in Canada Ranks even higher in household income Find Out What Your Vaughan Home is Worth On-Line Visit:

www. vaughanhouseprices.com Afshin Noohi, Broker Royal Lepage Your community Realty 9057312000

How does it feel living among the best communities in Canada?

Because you are.

Several York Region communities made a list of the top 219 places to live in Canada, according to MoneySense, a magazine with a focus on managing personal finances.

While no York communities cracked the top 10 on the overall list, there were four in the top 30.

Aurora came in 19th, with

Vaughan at 20th hot on its heels.

“It’s clear that our vision of creating a world-class city is becoming a reality and people are taking note of what Vaughan has to offer. Being ranked as a top city in Canada is a reflection of how great it is to live here and of our commitment to putting our citizens first,” Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua said in a statement.

Newmarket made the list at

24th and Richmond Hill came in at 27th.

A bit further down the list, Whitchurch-Stouffville was at 76th and Georgina placed 149th.

No York communities came in the top 10 in the categories of best places to retire, raise children or be a new Canadian.

But, boy, did York Region ever have a strong showing in the richest places in Canada.

Vaughan came in fifth, with

an average household net worth of $1.068 million.

If you’re planning to buy a house in the Greater Toronto Area, be prepared to go to war.

As demand in the local housing market increases substantially on an almost monthly basis, so, too, does the number of bidding wars.

Graham Jones, a Re/Max Hallmark agent who has worked in the industry for 25 years, just sold a house in a bidding war that netted his clients a substantial profit.

Their Richmond Hill bungalow was listed for $899,000.

There were nine bidders and the property sold for $1.43 million.

He compares the sale to “winning the lottery” for his clients. “It was underpriced a little bit to set up the bidding war, but still, it set records all over the place,” Jones said.

“We had three bidders that were just beating the living daylights out of each other.

We didn’t know where they were going to stop. It’s a nice home, but it’s a 65-year-old, 900-square-foot bungalow on a 50-foot lot. They (sellers) are so happy. They’re retiring and going to buy a piece of property up north and build a house. They got way more money in their pocket than they expected. They’re absolutely thrilled. Every deal I’ve done in the past two years has been multiple offers.”

It seems this story is becoming commonplace.

The Toronto Real Estate Board reported a 12.6-percent increase in home selling prices in April, when compared to the same period last year. The average home sold for $766,472 in Toronto in April, compared to $690,658 in April 2015. Across the GTA, average prices also increased from $605,336 in April 2015 to $724,235 this year.

The increase is blamed on several factors. Interests rates are at or near record lows, the Canadian dollar lags behind other world currencies and, historically, GTA real estate is a relatively safe investment gamble.

“Our real estate, in world dollars, is still much cheaper than in Washington or London,” Mark Weisleder, a partner in Vaughan’s RealEstateLawyers.ca LLP firm, said. “Even if it’s increased, it’s a good investment for

foreigners.”

Immigration does play a role in the market. The Ontario government estimates about 100,000 immigrants move into the province each year. Many of those people settle in the GTA. Between Aurora in York Region and Innisfil in Simcoe County, there appears to be an influx of Chinese buyers.

“They can move their family here while still finding affordable housing,” said Royal LePage sales representative Wasim Jarrah, working out of an Aurora office. “Chinese buyers are savvy. They like to negotiate and feel like they’ve got a good deal. It’s the same thing that happened to Markham, and for the Italians in Vaughan. It’s a very healthy real estate market. Even when people are purchasing in multiple offers, they’ll realize a profit if they stay in their properties for up to three years. The (current) sellers are making a sizable profit as well.”

There’s also a significant lack of inventory — a combination of slowly progressing new construction sites and an apparent unwillingness by aging Baby Boomers to sell their homes and downsize.

“If you look at the number of housing starts compared to population growth, we’re just not building homes fast enough,” Joe Asensio, of the Brampton-based JN Asensio Realty, said.

“You see homes going up everywhere, but they’re all

sold before they even build them. I’m on the tail end of the Baby Boomers; this will sound terrible, but we’re just not dying fast enough. People need somewhere to live; there just isn’t enough affordable housing available. This trend will continue for a long while.

The real estate market is going to stay nuts for a long time yet.

I don’t know whether there’s a need to slow it down.”

Asensio is involved in multiple-offer scenarios daily. He watched 51 offers roll in for a property in Brampton recently and admits the number of bids on homes in the area will often enter double digits.

Jones agrees that Asian buyers, low interest rates and short supply have driven the housing market. However, some sectors are in higher demand than others. For example, townhouses and condominiums are not generally seeing the same percentage increases in value as freehold homes.

“People don’t have a lot of options,” Jones said. “It’s impossible to tell whether it’s foreign or domestic money, but there’s certainly a lot of Asian buyers who are desperately trying to get freehold properties in the GTA. Condos and townhouses still sell, and you might even get the occasional bidding war ... but it’s not what’s driving the market.”

Ramadan: Muslim group launches unique campaign As millions of Muslims worldwide mark the holy month of Ramadan, Canada’s Ahamadiyya community is inviting people across the country to learn more about their faith by joining in a unique campaign.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama`at launched, on Mon-

day, a national campaign, dubbed Fast with a Muslim Friend, that allows Canadians to experience how to start, keep and break a fast while also learning why fasting during Ramadan is a core tenet of Islam.

To mark Ramadan, the ninth month on the Islamic

calendar, many Muslims do not eat or drink any liquids from dawn until sunset. Fasting ends at sunset with an evening meal, known as the Iftar.

Relief for home dialysis patients

By Adam Martin-Robbins

amartinrobbins@yrmg.com

Vaughan has become just the third municipality in Ontario to offer financial assistance to people with chronic kidney disease who do home dialysis.

City council, on Tuesday, ratified a decision by Vaughan city’s finance committee to implement a program to provide home dialysis patients with funding, ranging between $460 and $650 annually depending on their water and wastewater usage.

It’s rare, but not unheard of, for municipalities in Ontario to offer assistance to those doing home dialysis.

For instance, Clearview Township, just west of Barrie, provides a 90 per cent rebate on the amount of water their dialysis machine uses.

The City of Ottawa, meanwhile, has been providing annual grants ranging from $250 up to a maximum $500 depending on the amount of water used since 2007.

Last year, 13 people doing home dialysis in Ottawa received grants at a cost of $5,250 to the city.

Francesco Nardi, who raised the issue with Maple/ Kleinburg Councillor Marilyn Iafrate during last year’s budget talks, applauded the move following the finance committee’s decision last week.

“We’re one step ahead,” the 66-year-old, longtime Vaughan resident said. “Anything helps, any relief. It costs me probably around $120 a month more, but (it will help).”

Nardi has seen his utility bill soar since starting home dialysis last November.

Some of his recent bills climbed to $950 every two months for hydro and water compared to highs of about

$665 before.

He suffers from polycystic disease, a genetic disorder that causes cysts to form in his kidneys rendering them unable to function properly.

As a result, Nardi has to hook himself up to a dialysis machine, set up in his home office, for several hours every other day to do the work of his kidneys, which remove toxins from the blood.

The entire process, factoring in set up time and cleaning up afterward, takes him about six-and-a-half hours and it uses hundreds of litres of water an hour.

But Nardi opted to do dialysis at home rather than driving to a clinic or the hospital because it gives him greater flexibility.

His decision also saves the provincial government thousands of dollars, in part, because it reduces the need for hospital space and requires fewer health-care workers.

The cost to provide dialysis in a hospital or at a clinic has been pegged at about $83,000 per patient, per year, according to information published by the Kidney Foundation of Canada in 2013.

By contrast, home dialysis costs between $30,000 and $60,000, depending on the type of dialysis.

Nardi’s decision also benefits those who are unable to do home dialysis by freeing up space for them at clinics or hospitals.

Iafrate said those are a couple of the key reasons she asked city staff to look into the possibility creating a financial assistance program.

“I’m very happy to see that staff are recommending some form of financial relief for people like Mr. Nardi who are consuming an inordinate amount of water for doing dialysis at home rather than

choosing to stay at a clinic where it would be paid for by the government,” Iafrate told her colleagues at the finance committee meeting.

In order to qualify for assistance under Vaughan’s program, those with chronic kidney disease need to submit an application providing details of their water usage, a description of the dialysis machine they use as well as a letter from a medical professional or hospital confirming they’re undergoing home dialysis treatment and the duration of that treatment.

It is estimated that the program, will cost the city about $6,500 per year.

Nardi isn’t the only one praising the municipality for its decision.

“We applaud the City of Vaughan for recognizing and reimbursing some of the costs associated with home dialysis treatments,” said Lydia Lauder, director of programs and public policy for The Kidney Foundation of Canada, Ontario Branch.

“This treatment option allows the person on dialysis greater flexibility in their life.”

She noted that the Kidney Foundation -in partnership with a group of Canadian nephrologists, social workers and researchers -is undertaking a survey to hear from patients about how kidney disease and dialysis treatments have affected their income and, in some cases, their ability to work.

“Our hope is that this survey will provide us with quantitative data we can use to advocate to all levels of government to lessen the financial burden that people with kidney disease may experience,” she said.

Man gets 6 years, $150K fine in income tax refund fraud

A Markham man has been sentenced to six years in jail and must pay a fine of nearly $150,000 in the wake of a fraud conviction related to federal tax refunds.

The Canada Revenue Agency said Lawrence Watts was sentenced in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Newmarket to six years and a court-imposed fine of $149,129.

On Oct. 22, Watts was found guilty by jury of one count of fraud over $5,000 under the Criminal Code.

A 28-month CRA investigation revealed that Watts, owner and operator of Fiscal Arbitrators, claimed false business losses on income tax returns he prepared on behalf of 240 clients.

The fictitious losses enabled clients to receive or attempt to receive approximately $10 million in federal tax refunds.

Through Fiscal Arbitrators, Watts promoted the incorrect notion that Cana-

dians do not have to pay tax on income they earn, and counseled clients on how to restructure their affairs to evade payment of income tax, the CRA said.

The preceding information was obtained from the court records, the CRA said in a media release.

System ‘fair’ “In order to maintain public confidence in the integrity of the tax system, the Canada Revenue Agency pursues those who prepare fraudulent returns,” said Vince Pranjivan, Assistant Commissioner of the Ontario Region in a media release.

“Canadians have to trust that our self-assessment system is working and that it is fair.”

The CRA warns all Canadians to beware of “tax protesters” who try to convince you Canadians do not have to pay tax on the income they earn.

Courts have repeatedly and consistently rejected

arguments made in these tax protester schemes.

For those involved in tax protester schemes, the CRA will reassess income tax and interest, and charge penalties.

In addition, if convicted of tax evasion, the court may fine them up to 200 per cent of the tax evaded and sentence them for up to a five-year jail term. More information on tax protester schemes is available at www. cra.gc.ca/alert.

If you have ever made a tax mistake or omission, the CRA offers a second chance to make things right through its Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP).

If you make a valid disclosure before you become aware that the CRA is taking action against you, you may only have to pay the taxes owing plus interest.

More information on the VDP can be found at www. cra.gc.ca/voluntarydisclosures.

You’re invited to take a trip back through time and go right up to the present day with the McMichael Gallery’s latest exhibition.

Titled 50/50/50, the special exhibition is in honour of the gallery’s 50th anniversary — the actual date is July 8 — but it also goes back from the mid-sixties to exactly one century ago and stretches to 2016.

The artists chosen for the exhibit, Group of Seven founder A.Y. Jackson and the most famous contemporary and friend of the group, Tom Thomson, for 1916, Toronto’s Jack Bush for the mid-60s, and Vancouver artist Colleen Heslin for present-day work, offer a fascinating look at distant past, more recent past and presentday perspectives.

And that is just what Dr. Sarah Stanners, director of curatorial and collections at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, was going for when she put together the massive exhibition.

“How can we tell these stories through powerful works of art,” she said as she took media around the exhibit for a tour in advance of its public opening last Saturday.

“Our audience is looking for traditional Group of Seven and landscape painting but we have to cultivate new audiences,” she noted in pointing to the Bush and Heslin parts of the exhibition, which offer a stark contrast to the work of Jackson and Thomson.

“Robert and Signe McMichael were opening a gallery in the mid60s which focused on traditional landscape painting yet mid-60s in Canada was a riot of fantastic avant garde painting,” she said.

That’s where Jack Bush comes in.

Where Dr. Laura Brandon, an expert in war-time art with particular knowledge of Jackson and Thomson was brought aboard to curate the Jackson/Thomson 1916 section, Stanners’s expertise is in the mid-60s and the likes of Bush.

“There needed to be some signal of what was happening at that time (mid-60s),” she said.

“Let’s look at three distinct periods. Let’s look at our core mid-60s period, go back 50 years, a critical point, and look at mid-60s and at 2016.”

That means a viewer goes from the landscapes and traditional images one expects from the well-

Bush paints in bright yellows, reds, greens, eye-catching images that light up the room. All the work is abstract.

“Five of the works here have never been seen before in Ontario,” said Stanners of the Bush paintings.

As for Heslin, her works have a Bush-like quality, however with a big twist.

rics together to seamlessly create a “painting” that has an interesting tactile look and feel. Her use of muted colours, especially various shades of grey, makes her work stand out.

Virtually all of the work Heslin created for the show was done in the past year, most of it in 2016.

Naomi Potter of the Esker Foundation of Calgary, who curated the Heslin section of the show, said she wanted to present a “conversation” between the work of Bush and Heslin.

“I thought the conversation that this work (Heslin’s) could have with Jack Bush’s work was a particularly interesting one that could bring relevance to Colleen’s practice but also a contemporary focus to Jack,” said Potter.

Stanners said she is hopeful many people will come to see the exhibition, so it will be at the McMichael until Jan. 8, 2017 allowing plenty of time to see it.

honourary director for the festival this year.

The film is being presented with an improvised, live score by celebrated singer-songwriter Jane Siberry.

In addition to an honourary director, the festival also names an honourary maverick.

For 2016, that person is Deborah Kampmeier, perhaps best known for films Virgin, starring Elisabeth Moss and Robin Wright Penn, and controversial film Hounddog starring Dakota Fanning.

Her latest film, SPLit, closes out the festival.

It’s tells the story of Inanna, a young actress working as a stripper, who becomes obsessed with a mask maker and sacrifices parts of herself to win his love.

“Our goal, in terms of our overall programming, is to say: Just because

a woman writes and directs a film, doesn’t mean it’s a romantic comedy,” Coles said. “That’s sort of been our call to arms all these years: to help dispel the myth about women directors and the stories they tell.”

Hence the festival’s tag line – Always Honest, Not Always Pretty.

Due, in part, to the quality of films it screens, the Female Eye has cracked California-based MovieMaker Magazine’s annual list of 50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee for four consecutive years.

But it also boasts “a really ambitious series of industry events and programs,” Coles said, including three panel sessions: Meet the Guilds, Agencies & Organizations; Meet the Funders and Meet the Distributors.

As well, there are two “master classes”: one on developing stories to attract co-production partners

facilitated by Gabrielle Kelly and one on virtual reality by Ruth Birman, of Secret Location.

In addition, Female Eye runs two days of script readings where professional actors read main scenes from screenplays by aspiring writers who get feedback on their work.

That program is open to men with one caveat; their film must feature a female protagonist, Coles noted.

Film screenings, industry events and programs all take place at the Theatre Centre in Toronto, 1115 Queen St. W. If you can’t make it downtown, you might get an opportunity to see a handful of the best films the festival has to offer, a little closer to home.

Coles is hoping to organize a special screening of this year’s award -winning films in Vaughan, possibly in the fall.

“I think it would be nice to bring some of the festival to my home community,” said Coles, who is also wrapping up work on a feature-length documentary, Melody Makers, slated to air on CBC’s Documentary Channel later this year or early in 2017.

“We’re looking for support for that.

We’re looking for community partners.”

Protect Yourself Against

Lyme Disease FIGHT THE BITE!

What is Lyme disease?

Lyme disease is an illness caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria that is spread through the bite of an infected blacklegged tick (deer tick). Lyme disease does not spread from human to human.

What are the symptoms?

A circular rash referred to as a bull’s-eye rash could be one of the earliest symptoms of an infection. If you develop a bull’s-eye rash, fever, chills or extreme fatigue or feel like you have the flu, see your health care provider.

Be sure to tell them if you have been active outdoors. If left untreated, Lyme disease could lead to more serious symptoms affecting the central nervous system, brain or heart.

Treating Lyme disease Lyme disease can be treated with antibiotics. Getting treatment in the early stages of the disease is critical for full recovery.

What are ticks?

Health will continue to conduct tick dragging at various locations across York Region’s nine towns and cities.

While the risk is low, it is possible to be infected with Lyme disease from the bite of a blacklegged tick almost anywhere in Ontario.

Other established blacklegged tick populations and Lyme disease endemic areas include parts of British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Northeast and upper Midwest United States and central Europe.

Protect yourself and your family It is important to protect yourself each time you are in a wooded or brushy area. Follow these simple tips to protect yourself: • Wear long pants and long-sleeved tops that are light-coloured to help spot ticks • Tuck your pants into your socks • Use an insect repellent containing DEET and apply according to manufacturer’s directions • Search your body for ticks

Ticks are small bugs, the size of a sesame seed, which feed off the blood of animals and humans. They are generally active through the spring, summer and fall. They can be found on tall grasses and bushes and can attach themselves to people or animals. Ticks do not fly and move slowly. Most tick bites are painless. Ticks feed slowly and will attach themselves for 24 to 72 hours.

They are most likely to spread infection after being attached for 24 hours or more. Not all ticks are infected with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, therefore, not all tick bites will spread Lyme disease.

• Pay special attention to the groin, scalp, underarms and back

Where are blacklegged ticks found?

• Place the tick in a moistened paper towel and put in a screw-top container such as a plastic pill bottle or a plastic sealable baggie

The risk of Lyme disease is usually much greater in tick endemic areas because the probability of bites from infected ticks is much greater.

In Ontario, blacklegged ticks are more commonly found in areas along the north shores of Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River.

Blacklegged ticks have also been found in York Region. York Region Public

• Remove attached ticks from your body as quickly as possible

Removing a tick • Remove it by grasping the tick with a set of tweezers as close as possible to the skin and pull it straight out • Do not squeeze the tick • Do not put anything on the tick or try to burn it off • Disinfect the area with rubbing alcohol

• Store the container in a refrigerator or freezer until the tick can be submitted to your local health unit for testing • Call York Region Health Connection at 1-800-361-5653

Gianfranco Guida keeps RBC Canadian Open spot in sight

By Michael Hayakawa

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

Maple resident Gianfranco Guida took a giant step toward qualifying for the 2016 RBC Canadian Open after earning an exemption to the final qualifier when he took to the fairways at Club de Golf La Vallee du Richelieu in Sainte-Julie, Que. Monday.

Entered in a field of 29 golfers at a regional qualifier, Guida stayed bogeyfree through 15 holes and had a birdie on the 13th hole and an eagle on 14 to claim a share of the top spot.

Guida’s accomplishment was magnified as the field battled winds up to 60 kilometres an hour.

That was something he was accustomed to having played in Australia.

“It was playing really

tough because of the wind,” the 27-year-old Guida said in a Golf Canada news release.

“But the greens were very pure.

“Playing golf in Australia really taught me how to play into the wind. You just have to hit a lot of knockdowns and you have to know what clubs to hit.”

For Guida, he hopes his strong play will carry over into the final qualifier to be held at Heron Point Golf Links in Ancaster July 18.

“My career is at the tipping point of whether I’m going to continue doing it,” he said. “I’m glad in the sense that hopefully if I get through it will be big validation, and I can continue playing and find it easier to find funding.”

Guida was one of seven players who advanced and included co-leader Jean-Philip Cornellier of St-Cesaire, Que., Etienne Papineau of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Chad Merzbacher, Eden Prairie, Minn., Pierre-Alexandre Bedard, Chibougamau, Que, Tim Alarie, St-Jerome, Que. and Marc-Etienne Bussieres, Sherbrooke, Que. In total, there are three regional qualifying events, each consisting of 18 holes of stroke play. Provided that there are 100 or more players in the field, the low qualifier receives an exemption directly into the 2016 RBC Canadian Open.

Otherwise, the top 15 per cent of finishers at each qualifier become eligible to compete at the final qualifying event.

A minimum of four players from the 18-hole stroke play final qualifier will gain entry into the RBC Canadian Open field.

APPLICATIONS DUE JULY 28th

Rebel bantams run roughshod over Peterborough

By Michael Hayakawa

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

Michael Klana hauled in two touchdown passes and running back Adrian Facciponte ran for a pair and quarterback Marco Simeone ran for one and returned one kickoff back for a major to propel the Vaughan Rebels bantams to a 55-7 win over the Peterborough Wolverines in Ontario Football Conference action at York University Sunday.

Running back Matthew Faria also ran for one touchdown and linebacker Dillon Schoburgh returned one intercepted pass into the end zone.

Adam Castellano converted seven of eight converts for the Rebels, who improved their record to 2-0.

Anchoring the club’s defence was Facciponte, who saw double duty at

linebacker and made nine tackles while Schoburgh had seven and Matteo Frano and Michael Bancheri each had six.

Rebels head coach Gianfranco Schirripa was pleased with the way his club set the tone early in the contest that contributed to their success.

“I thought our guys were really into the game early,” he said. “We had a great couple of first drives. Our quarterback was ready to play from the first snap.

“When our team is clicking like that, it’s so beautiful to watch. Everyone was having fun and smiling and at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.”

The Rebels are scheduled to play the Toronto Jr. Argonauts at St. Michael’s College this Sunday at 11 a.m.

opene hoUs Uptown Montessori school (UMs)

coming up

opened its hearts and doors to the public for the first time on Saturday 4th June. The school held its first open day event located on 61 Creditview Road, Woodbridge and invited the local community to visit the site which boasts an incredible, spacious and open 7600 Sq Ft learning area for children.

UMS’ principal, Insia Khan strongly believes in providing a warm, inclusive and an enriching environment in order for a child to thrive and fulfil his / her potential. This was reflected in not only the physical appearance of the building which also features large windows and colourful learning material for the children, but also in the passion that was emanated by the teachers and members of staff who were present to guide parents on a tour of the school.

5-8:30pm

MacCarl Marek cared for children in Aurora for decades

By Simon Martin

N

smartin@yrmg.com

ext time you drive by Taylor Park in Aurora, you should stop and take some time to remember Jane MacCarl Marek. The 52-year-old Aurora resident died without warning from sudden cardiac arrest in February.

The park is where MacCarl Marek took dozens of children from her home care over the years to play. She provided care to children in Aurora for close to 20 years.

One of those former home care children was Katy Lemaire. The 18-year-old Aurora resident lived next door to Jane and was the same age as her son, Lucas. “She basically was like a second mom,” Lemaire said.

Even as she got older, Lemaire would continue to go over to spend time with Jane.

“She was a really genuine person. She was always there to listen. You genuinely wanted to be around her,” Lemaire said.

While MacCarl Marek loved kids, her mother Mary Tripp MacCarl said she was approachable for everyone. “She was real people person. She kept in touch with everyone,” she said.

Like many others, Lemaire was shocked to learn of Jane’s death in February. Because it happened so suddenly, she felt something needed to be done to help the community grieve.

Lemaire thought it would be nice to plant a tree in memory of Jane at the local park where she spent so much time. So she started a Facebook group and added Jane’s Facebook friends and was able to raise $1,400 for the cause.

That ended up being more than enough

money for a tree, which Lemaire organized through the Town of Aurora. They were also able to get a bench refurbished in memory of Jane.

On May 20, a ceremony was held at Taylor Park with dozens of community members to unveil the maple tree and bench in Jane’s memory.

It was a touching moment for Tripp MacCarl, who said many of the children her daughter took care of over the years were there.

“It was wonderful to see the kind of commitment to the community Jane had and the commitment the community had for her,” Tripp MacCarl said.

It was no surprise to Tripp MacCarl that her daughter ended up working with little children. Growing up in Toronto, MacCarl Marek would spend her summers babysitting kids.

Before moving to Aurora more than 20 year ago, MacCarl Marek lived in Toronto and was a veterinary technician. Those skills weren’t lost in Aurora as she shared her love of animals with the community, too, Lemaire said.

Through organizing the tree dedication, Lemaire said her warm perceptions of Jane were confirmed by meeting all the people she had touched in various ways. “She just took everybody under her wing,” she said.

The children will still be playing at Taylor Park this summer and while MaCarl Marek might not be there to watch, her spirit is on hand.

A tree in her name gives them clean air to breathe and a bench in her name gives the children a quiet place to rest or, better yet, their caregivers.
