Aurora approves music strategyBY TERESA LATCHFORD

[email protected]

urora wants to hear the music.In 2013, the provincial Tourism Cul-

ture and Sport Ministry announced its intention to develop a live music strategy focused on sound recording and produc-

tion, marketing and promotion, live entertainment and business development initiatives.

The province also earmarked $45 million to help create jobs to advance the initiative through an Ontar-io Music Fund.

With the music strategy council approved this week, the town will now be able to apply for funding through the Ontario Music Fund Grant.

“Staff has developed a strategy that identifies and addresses the main areas of focus for the development and support of the music industry,” parks and recre-ation services director Al Downey wrote in a report to council.

The five focal points of the strategy include sup-

single word can change your life.

Peter Bales thought nothing of what he thought was a com-

mon cold until he developed an alarming cough, his appetite was non-existent, he was losing weight and, finally, discovered a lump on the right side of his abdomen. Thinking he had just pulled a muscle, he headed to his family doctor who discovered a problem with his liver.

It was cancer.“It’s crazy how one word can

change everything in your life,” Bales said. “How one word can leave you sitting in your chair with your whole body numb, not knowing what to say or think. Cancer is the word that hijacks your life and changes everything forever.”

Province ill-prepared for senior health care ‘crisis’, experts warn

BY LISA [email protected]

arah breaks down in tears as she describes the four hours a

day she spends chang-ing diapers, cooking, cleaning, shopping and providing other care for her 80-year-old ailing mother as they wait for a long-term care bed.

“Terrible, terrible. It’s terrible for her, too, because she knows it’s too much for me and it’s too much for her,” said Sarah, who doesn’t want her or her mother’s names published because she fears it will affect her mom’s treat-ment in the system.

Her mother, Mary, receives home care about 10 hours a week, but it is far from enough for someone suffering from a number of health problems, including severe osteoarthritis, heart disease, incontinence and significant pain.

While the elderly York Region woman’s mind remains alert, she now has anxiety and mood swings as she tries to cope with her deteriorating health and

watching her daughter struggle to care for her.

Mary had been on a waiting list for a long-term care bed since last fall and about four weeks ago was upgraded to crisis status by the Central Community Care Access Centre, an organization funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care that con-nects residents to health services in the community.

‘There are so many people waiting. The

system is terrible.’

This week, Sarah learned her mother was being offered a long-term care home bed.

Sarah, whose husband has cancer, has cut back her hours as a health care worker to care for her mother.

While she is applauding an announcement last week by associate health and long-term care minister Dipika Damerla at Bloomington Cove Care Com-munity Centre in Whitchurch-Stouffville that will see the prov-ince upgrade more than 300 long-term care facilities across Ontario

Town to host cultural celebration this summer


ouncil members feel left in the dark after town staff signed a con-tract with a service provider for

a multicultural event without council review.

Last year, Coun-cillor Harold Kim approached his col-leagues with the idea of looking at creating a multicultural festival mirroring those held in other York Region municipalities to be held this year. The idea was supported at the time.

Later in the year, council ear-marked $20,000 for the event out of the council discretionary reserve fund.

Staff studied similar festivals

including Richmond Hill’s Taste of the Hill to decide how, where

and when to host Aurora’s multicultural festival.

A number of locations were explored for the event including

using the Magna Hoedown tent on Sept. 18 and

indoors at the Stronach Aurora Recreation Complex. How-ever, challenges with the logistics meant the best option identified was to turn the Dance in the Park, hosted by the Rotary Club of Aurora

porting an environment that is friendly to music creators, encouraging the business of music in town, promoting the music sector locally, fostering alliances with other music cities and implementing a process to monitor progress and measuring success of the strat-egy.

The Arts Music Store’s Rachel Bradley said local businesses, talent and overall industry would welcome a musical focus in town.

“What we struggle with most right now is finding opportunities for our students to perform,” she said. “You, unfortunately, can’t get better without practice and performance experience.”

Allowing youth to perform at town events or other local venues and even creating a “jam spot” would be a great step in allowing local youth to practice and show off their talent.

‘There are so many people waiting’

over the next nine years, Sarah is disappoint-ed there was no mention of creating new long-term care spaces.

“There are so many people waiting. The system is terrible. I don’t think our govern-ment has given enough to long-term care. I really do think they are in crisis,” she said, adding that the government also needs to add more staff highly trained in geriatric care.

“The staff from the (home care) agencies that come in, they do a great job, great job. But I think the system is really bad for the people who really need to get in (to long-term care). I’m basically told, ‘OK, now (my mother’s) in crisis, within a month she will get in because she really is in crisis’ and I’m told another time when I speak to the case worker that there are others in crisis, she has to wait her turn.”

The fact the province is investing in exist-ing long-term care facilities and thinking about seniors is fabulous, said Tazim Bhanji, program manager for seniors programs with Markham-based Social Services Network, a charitable organization providing programs

for the South Asian community. But the announcement is not enough to

address the ballooning senior population, she said.

Between 2011 and 2031, York Region’s senior population will increase by 148 per cent, almost four times faster than the over-all population, according to a report called Towards a Seniors Strategy, released by the region last year.

Seniors will make up 21 per cent of York’s population in 2031, up from 12 per cent in 2011.

What’s more, York seniors are living longer than the provincial and national averages, thanks, in part, to the region’s high quality of life. Life expectancy in York is 84.1 years, compared to 81.5 years in Ontario and 81.1 years in Canada.

“We are not really ready for the popula-tion that is going to be facing us in the next decade. The important issue here is, in the next 10 years there will be more seniors requiring services. So, how are we going to take care of the seniors who are not access-ing the services at present?” Bhanji said.

Aurora recognized for its investments in play


Aurora has scored big points for youth and recreation.

The town is now a member of an elite list of recipients of the 2016 Silver Youth Friendly Community designa-tion, a program that acknowledges communities that invest in youth play and demonstrate strong commitment to engaging youth 13 to 19.

“As a community, we actively sup-port and provide many opportunities for our youth to grow and flourish into leaders,” Mayor Geoff Dawe said. “The skills that are learned in our programs will help youth development a well-rounded skill set and adopt healthy, active lifestyles.”

The designation further proves Aurora is a great place for families to grow and succeed, Dawe added.

The town has committed to provid-ing opportunities for youth to build skills, increase physical activity and encourage progressive learning, direc-tor of parks and recreation services Al Downey explained.

Play Works, a group of organiza-tions encouraging and promoting youth play, established the designation to help applaud those Ontario com-munities that make an investment in adolescent youth with the hope of inspiring others to do the same.

Aurora successfully met 12 of the 16 criteria set out by Play Works to earn the silver designation, including recreation, sport, leisure, arts, drama, dance, civic engagement, youth activ-ism, volunteerism, social club and youth leadership opportunities.

Music strategy connects with other plans

of the town, including ensuring local musicians have fair opportunity to participate in town-spon-sored events, increasing access to town venues for music programs, supporting music programs for disadvantaged communities and including the needs of existing music businesses in town devel-opment plans.

The strategy also points out the need for the town to highlight resources available to assist local music makers in accessing professional edu-cation programs and development opportunities.

Affordable rehearsal space and fair compen-sation for performers made the list. Bylaws and regulations such as noise regulations need to be balanced for residents and the needs of the music community, the creation of a business networking website, improving access to civic venues and the creation of a physical music hub are laid out in the strategy.

According to the document, Aurora attracts thousands of visitors annually, who spend dollars locally, which could mean drawing more specifi-cally with music tourism, including collaboration with the business community, promoting a music scene and creating online resources to connect tourists with the music they love.

Aurora should also follow in the footsteps of

Toronto who partnered with Texas and created the Music City Alliance to create music industry trade and export, foster ongoing communication and create growth. Since its inception, Toronto has been approached by other cities, including Chicago, Seattle, New York, Melbourne, Sydney and Mannheim to partner, according to the draft strategy.

Downey pointed out that such a strategy ties in with other initiatives the town has taken on including the development of a cultural master plan that promotes heritage, music and art and, more recently, the ongoing development of a cul-tural precinct, including finding a use for Library Square.

The success of Aurora’s music strategy will be measured with a follow-up study in four years focusing on how many live venues, music festivals and music businesses have emerged, employment creation due to the music industry, the number of music creators housed in Aurora, revenue and tax contributions from music busi-nesses, the impact the industry has on local tour-ism and the overall impact of the music sector on Aurora’s economy.

Newmarket Caribbean and South Asian Showcase organizer and host Ranji Singh (centre) is seen � anked by Eric and Sunshine White at the Irie Rasta Wear booth during the 2014 instalment of the event. Aurora recently entered into an agreement with Singh to put on a local version.

Celebration to be held June 30

on June 30 in Town Park, into the Dance in the Park Celebrates Cultural Diversity.

Councillor John Abel’s concern was that a $10,000 contract was signed with Ranji Singh, from the Ranji Singh Foundation that organizes Newmarket’s annual South Asian Showcase, with-out council being informed first.

“Why would you not bring that to our atten-tion? When we agreed to this it was to research and report back to council, not to go out and sign something.” he told Parks and Recreation Direc-tor Al Downey who replied it is staff practice to go ahead with event planning once money has been allocated in the budget.

Councillor Sandra Humfreys echoed the con-cerns of her fellow councillor and felt the contract should have been opened up beyond the founda-tion to include even more cultures, such as Ital-ian, in the event.

The contract shows performances highlighting Caribbean, Indian, Russian, Turkish, Middle East-

ern, Chinese, Korean, South Asian and Domini-can cultures.

Many councillors felt it was a missed oppor-tunity to pass up the use of the Magna Hoedown tent, but staff pointed out that, with Magna’s plans to move to King Township, the tent might not be available for use long term.

Councillor Wendy Gaertner protested the blending of the two events since she felt the Rota-ry Club’s Dance in the Park event was an already established and stand-alone event.

In an effort to corral the herd, Councillor Paul Pirri suggested that the multicultural event be held on the same day as the dance, but earlier in the day.

“We just checked and kids are out of school that day,” he said.

It was comment that was followed up with the argument of parents still having to be a work.

Gaertner and Abel made it known they would prefer to hold the event on a weekend.

Council decided, in a 6 to 3 vote, that the event would begin earlier in the day and the Dance in the Park event would remain as it is.

Two student stories definitely connected

Re: More students get to school by car in York than GTHA average (bit.ly/1SLjEb6) and Board hosts mental health symposium (bit.ly/1qmcwLu), April 7.

Well done, putting these two stories side by side. They are defi-nitely connected.

A tax could deter developer contributions

Ban developers’ contributions from election campaigns: expert, April 7: bit.ly/1T1GiPh

If we are concerned about developers contributing some of their wealth to political cam-paigns, we should be equally concerned about the conditions that create that wealth in the first place.

In the article, York professor Robert MacDermid explains how a developer’s investment in farm-land returns many-fold after the land is rezoned as “residential” and then subdivided. He states, “It is the acts of council that cre-ate profit for developers.”

But what creates the huge increase in land value that makes farmland so attractive and makes profits so high?

It is largely the appearance of amenities and infrastructure — roads, sewers, community centres, public transportation, etc. — that boosts the value of undeveloped land.

In other words, a lot of public spending goes into creating the conditions for private, unearned wealth.

So, while we consider the fair-ness of developers’ campaign donations, we should look seri-ously at the conditions that pro-voke and enable them.

Some form of a land-value tax could help temper these conditions, not to mention the skyrocketing real estate prices and lack of affordable housing in the region.

Spaghetti expense for community church

Re: Newmarket releases coun-cil spending expenses, March 24: bit.ly/1SMZt0X and Expenses need to reflect economic climate, letter to the editor by Luigi Giorno, March 31: bit.ly/1qmdRSA

While I cannot speak to most of the expense report, there’s one line item I, most definitely, can speak to: Councillor Dave Kerwin’s $367 expense on “a spaghetti dinner at The Meeting House”. Perhaps this newspaper does not have the resources or time to investigate everything it publishes, which is certainly understandable, but the wording of this expense is misleading and misinformed.

The wording implies Kerwin bought for himself a nearly $400 meal at some restaurant called

Library letter to those whose odour may offend is respectful

The Meeting House. I don’t think I’m interpreting this unfairly, since Giorno, in his letter to the editor, seems to have interpret-ed it in a similar manner.

I find this amusing, to say the least. The Meeting House is not a restaurant. The Meeting House is a church. It’s the church I attend every Sunday morning in Newmarket. We meet in the Sil-verCity at Green Lane and Yonge Street.

At the church, I volunteer in many capacities: I am a member of the musical worship team, a mid-week meeting leader, a youth meeting leader and a dishwasher at our monthly community dinners.

Once a month, we rent one of the event halls at the Lions Hall in Riverwalk Commons and cook a spaghetti dinner (complete with salad, rolls and desserts) for anyone in the com-munity who would like to get together for a meal.

We have a team of volunteers who does all the cooking, serv-ing and cleaning. Ordinarily, we serve roughly 200 to 230 meals at one of our community din-ners, where people from various walks of life get together to share a meal and conversation.

Kerwin has helped our com-munity dinner by offsetting the cost of the rental of the hall. As I understand it, the $367 spent in 2015 helped to cover a number of the rentals, not just one meal. He certainly wasn’t buying him-self a luxury serving of pasta, as your article implies.

Giorno is skeptical that our community dinner “has improved our community or its relationship with anyone.” I would extend an invitation to Giorno and anyone at York Region Media Group to come down and meet fellow com-munity-minded people from Newmarket at our next dinner, which is happening April 17 at 5 to 7 p.m. at the Lions Hall.

In fact, I think we ordinarily have a small notice that runs in The Era during the weeks lead-ing up to the meals.

s a society, we have a com-mon, widely understood code of ethics and behav-iour.

Some of this is directly stated in written laws, but some is what is usually referred to as com-mon sense, passed on, at times unin-tentionally, between generations or through social interaction.

While there is some variation in the code based on social status, much of it is shared by all.

We learn to say ‘please’ when ask-ing for something, and ‘thank you’ when it is received.

We learn to be kind and compas-sionate to others.

We learn personal grooming.If someone strays too far from

these rules, they risk making others uncomfortable or, in extreme cases, doing them harm.

Sometimes, it’s not easy to tell someone they aren’t living up to soci-etal expectations, but, for the good of society, we must do it.

Such is the case with the letter Newmarket Public Library staff has handed to a small number of patrons informing them of complaints about their odour.

The letter is very respectful in tone, and clearly targeted at people with no home or very limited financial resources, as it offers suggestions as to where the recipient can go to access free shower and laundry facilities.

The letter does not ask the person to leave the library and welcomes them to return. It simply asks that they try to mitigate the odour before returning.

Handing out this letter is the best way to deal with a difficult situation.

If someone with a strong, bad odour frequents the library, other patrons will become uncomfortable. If patrons decide to leave and not return due to the smell, it could result

in declining library use.Also, while it’s not pleasant to talk

about, if someone smells foul, they are likely not clean, meaning they could be carrying viruses or bacteria. Personal grooming isn’t just about being polite and fitting in – it’s about being healthy.

Undoubtedly, receiving a letter telling you others think you smell bad would not be a pleasant experience, but it’s infinitely preferable to library staff telling you verbally, so others can hear.

The letter is discreet and as polite as possible.

The letter is discreet and as polite as possible.

Some might argue the person who smells bad may not have the resourc-es to clean themselves up, but the let-ter plainly states where people can go to get cleaned up for free.

It’s important to note that, accord-ing to library CEO Todd Kyle, staff has handed out very few of these letters.

Regardless of life circumstance, most people manage to maintain, at the very least, a presentable level of personal hygiene.

Perhaps this suggests for some people who don’t, there are mental health issues that may be behind the reason they are not bathing.

In those cases, the polite letter from the library suggesting places to clean up might not spur them to action.

It’s a public space, after all, and we all have to be respectful of each other when sharing close quarters.

However, the fact those people find themselves in difficult life cir-cumstances tells us something else: we, as a society, need to do more to help our most vulnerable.

A

We’d also like to express our gratitude to Highland Automo-tive Professionals — hosts of the 2016 AWBF BluesBash Festival Kickoff — plus the Aurora Public Library, Aurora Cultural Centre, Theatre Aurora, The ARTS Music Store and our local bar partners (King Richard’s and Aw Shucks) along with all their great staff, for the support they have given the festival and the joint pro-gramming to showcase many of our talented, local youth musi-cians/bands.

What will it take to stop scourge on our roads?

he anger and disgust in the room is palpable.

Every monthly meeting of the York Region chap-ter of madd — Mothers

Against Drunk Driving — an officer from the OPP and another from York Regional Police update members and volunteers on impaired accidents, charges laid and courtroom deci-sions.

Every single time, as we listen to details of wrong-way drivers, people swerving off highways or into other drivers, driving with open liquour in vehicles, or driving impaired with innocent children in the car — mouths drop open, heads shake sadly and sometimes faces get flushed or eyes tear up.

You see, for many members of the madd York group, impaired driving is not just a faceless crime — it’s very personal.

It’s a crime that has destroyed their family, maimed or killed a loved one, caused real pain and suffering.

But every month, the cycle just gets repeated again; different details and different drivers — but the same carnage and destruction.

I drive home from the meetings each month worried about drivers on the roadway beside me, wondering if they are taking chances with their own lives or mine.

If you’re a sensible, responsible driver, you probably thought it was sad and ironic that as the trial fin-ished up for the King man found guilty of impaired driving causing the death of three children and their grandfather, another 13 drivers on York Region roads Easter weekend were caught by police and face impaired charges.

Now add to that another 13 driv-ers facing impaired charges from this past weekend — April 8 through 10 — and you may begin to feel the frustration of both police and madd members.

Frustration? Maybe I should say fury...

And don’t think these incidents are all young drivers joyriding in their parents’ vehicles. Don’t think they are all men, either.

In November of last year we had a nine-year-old boy forced to call 911 to report his mom driving drunk with him in the vehicle. Fortunately, they were pulled over by police in New-market and no lives were lost.

In mid-March of this year a New-market mother was charged with impaired driving after a long inves-tigation into a January two-vehicle crash, where another young driver was killed, and two of her children and one of their friends were sent to hospital, as they had been in her vehicle.

Just days later, a Georgina man was charged with impaired driving after an ATV collision injured his five-year-old son.

Capping off this litany of woe is this past weekend’s near tragedy.

A Toronto woman, 58, was driv-ing the wrong way on Leslie Street in Richmond Hill, so intoxicated and oblivious — police say — that she didn’t even notice the police cruiser with sirens and lights activated.

The officer was forced to box in the vehicle to stop it, after the driver narrowly missed colliding head-on with another vehicle.

Breath readings after her arrest showed she had twice the legal limit of alcohol.

What’s going on here? Are more citizens calling 911 to report suspect-ed drivers and thus more are being arrested by police?

Are more drivers thinking it’s socially acceptable to drink and drive?

When are we — as a society — going to say enough is enough of this scourge?

On Builder waiting since ‘14 to open Hwy. 48 Tims: : bit.ly/1Vk3ls3I am assuming that the property spoken about is on the east side of Hwy 48. If that be the case there is a lot more to think about than traffic safety. Until Bruce Rolling built his sawmill on that piece of land it was all swamp. Will there be any way to put in sewer and water services when digging down will hit the swampy ground. Also I would be very worried about summer traffic trying to go in from both directions on hwy 48. Left turning traffic on a busy summer weekend would almost certainly cause accidents. After years on commuting and seeing upteen dozen close calls with people blinded by what their next errand is and not thinking of their driving I totally agree with the Ministry about the danger of this proposal. One option to eliminate part of the danger is to put a barrier down the center of the highway from Mount Albert Road to Princess St. Not the best solution but one that might have some effect. Not to good for people needing gas but there is a gas station on the north side of the road just north of Princess street at least the last time I was up there. Your not going to die if you don’t have your Timmy’s only if you are careless and turn into on coming traffic.

AURORA CHAMBER HOME SHOW - April 15 - 17, 2016

It’s officially spring when the Aurora Home Show rolls around and this year it’s bound to be a doozy! I can’t wait to share the fruits of the Home Show committee’s many months of planning and labour.

We are very grateful to our new Signature spon-sors Keller Williams Realty Centres and Backyard Pool and Patio for their generous support. Keller Williams is excited about its upcoming expansion into the heart of the Aurora community, while Back-yard Pool and Patio is celebrating its recent move to a new location in town. Drop by to speak with representatives about the exciting news for their re-spective companies and find out how they can help

you with your home and property investments and projects.

This year’s feature is a walk-through home de-signed by yours truly, complete with kitchen, living room, garage and more! I will be hosting the feature space, which was built by Jack Roeleveld and the entire team from Jack’s Landscaping. Jack and I will be happy to personally show you all the wonderful work by the local contributors in this year’s feature.

Again this year, we are grateful to Lifestyle Oasis and Aurora Home Hardware for their critical and generous contributions to the show. Just as they are central businesses in our growing region, they are equally important to the success of this annual exhibit.

Aurora Overhead Doors was an eager contribu-tor to the feature with its wonderful contemporary garage door solution. Our model home came to life with stylish pieces from Niche Décor!

For the first time ever, custom cabinetry in the feature kitchen will be supplied by carpenter ex-traordinaire Ali Seif of Seif Designs. His meticulous attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship al-lows him to deliver exceptional kitchen, bathroom

and household cabinetry designed specifically to meet your needs and to fill the functional storage void in any home.

I’m particularly excited that Latitude Countertops will be contributing to the feature kitchen this year with stone counters direct from their remarkable “Remnant Program.” If you’re looking for a stone counter but fear “full slab” pricing, be sure to drop

by to discuss the amazing products available from this one-of-a-kind, cost-saving program. In addi-tion, you can speak with me directly about the “We Seal it 4 U” service that offers a 25-year warrantied sealant for any stone surface.

Also new to the show and the feature is local furniture maker Mathew Wright of Hunter’s Wood

Treatment close to home a big help

Regional Cancer Centre at Southlake, made the difficult journey a little easier.

For Bales, who was born in Newmar-ket and is a former Southlake employee, it seemed like a homecoming of sorts.

“Southlake is a world class cancer facil-ity,” Kellie said. “We were both impressed with the access to care we had right here in Newmarket. With all the countless worries a devastating diagnosis brings, travelling for treatment was not one of them.”

But just as comforting, was the support the couple received from the community.

A close friend organized Team Pete, in support of his struggle, to participate in the annual Run or Walk for Southlake. The team quickly turned into a small army of 150 par-ticipants and raised more than $18,000 by race day.

“The support we have received has helped us keep things positive and continue

to fight every day,” Bales said. “Words cannot describe the amazing feeling of having that kind of love, friendship and show of support behind you.

“It truly was an amazing day.”The couple checked the progress of Team

Pete daily and considered it a pick-me-up to see so many of their loved ones raising funds to help the local hospital and cancer centre keep up with new technologies, treatments and therapies to help patients like himself.

“Stories like this remind us just how important it is to hold this event every year,” Southlake Regional Health Centre Founda-tion president and CEO Neila Poscente said. “The event is so special, not only because it raises money for our hospital, but because it gives people an opportunity to physically demonstrate support for their loved ones.”

The 2016 Run or Walk for Southlake, pre-sented by Nature’s Emporium, will be held May 1 at the Stronach Aurora Recreation Complex. Individuals and teams can register at runforsouthlake.ca.

hree Georgina pharma-cists are encouraging York Regional Police to launch a fentanyl exchange pro-gram in a bid to stem the

tide of abuse that one says has “rav-aged” the community.

Keswick pharmacist Ron Coova-dia said the situation in her com-munity has grown so “delicate” that people are now openly walking into her pharmacy offering her money for just one hit of the drug.

“I inherited this problem, but, to be honest, it’s more like a night-mare,” she said. “I refuse to break. They keep asking me for more, but I won’t break. My attitude is that if they’re addicted, it’s an illness, it’s not criminal. These people need help. You can see it in their expres-sion, they are thin and shaking, they speak quickly and are shaking. You can tell who is in withdrawal. They are not hard to find.”

Her comments come a week after York Regional Police busted a fentanyl trafficking ring involving a Toronto doctor allegedly working with dealers to ship and sell patches in Sudbury.

During police searches of mul-tiple properties, investigators seized nearly 300 patches, at an estimated worth of $120,000.

enee McKnight and her husband, Lloyd, had high hopes for their future when they moved to York Region from New Bruns-

wick five years ago.Instead, McKnight, who has a

college diploma in office adminis-tration, and Lloyd, a trained carpen-ter, have struggled as they cobbled together jobs to keep a roof over the heads of their family of four.

More than once, they have had their utilities cut off or restricted at their rented Newmarket townhouse because they haven’t been able to pay their bills.

‘I always say we’re apaycheque away from

homelessness because if we, for whatever reason, run out of work and we

can’t find somethingimmediately, then we

could be on the street no problem.’

McKnight has had eight jobs in five years, including a four-week contract, running a day care from her home, which she gave up because she didn’t have enough cli-ents to make the venture economi-cally viable, part-time minimum wage retail jobs where her bosses declined to give her hours flexible enough to accommodate a second part-time job and a coffee shop that required she work split shifts early in the morning and late at night.

Lloyd’s employment has been somewhat better and he now has a job doing piecework as a subcon-tractor.

McKnight is now working with her husband as a general labourer.

Parents protest ‘devastating’ autism funding changes

lion funding announcement was heralded in the headlines this month as good news for families seeking help for children with autism.

But parental reaction quickly turned into howls of protest.

Yesterday at Queen’s Park, and Friday in Richmond Hill and elsewhere in Ontario, fami-lies are protesting to let others know that the headlines don’t tell the real story.

It sounds good on paper: the province plans to invest funds over five years to revamp the Ontario Autism Program and reduce wait lists for Intensive Behavioural Intervention

FEATURE SERIES: TO THE BETTER END

After the birth of her second child, her condition became worse as she began to have balance issues and was unable to walk safely.

“It has been hard and some-times I feel like a burden,” she said, reaching for her husband Mike’s hand. “It got to the point where he was carrying me to bed every night.”

Hospice offers more than end-of-life care

Art therapy programshelp newly-diagnosed,

caregivers, bereavedBY TERESA LATCHFORD

enise Carl had heard of the Doane House Hos-

pice, but never fully understood its pur-pose.

In 2007, the former fit-ness instructor and moth-er of two was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a disease that disrupts the nervous system.

J

This is part 2 of our series, To thebetter end, about Doane HouseHospice. The hospice helps people with life-threatening illnesses, and their loved ones, live every day to the fullest. To read part 1, visit bit.ly/1VmZx9X.

Jenise Carl has multiple sclerosis and she, her husband, Mike, and their children use Doane House Hospice’s services. One such ser-vice is the art therapy program.

What most people would con-sider the easiest tasks, such as leaving the house, have become more complicated and require much more preparation just to make a destination or appoint-ment on time, she explained.

“Mike is a man of few words and never really complains,” she said. “But I know sometimes it is very hard.”

The family of four moved into a bungalow, which not only elimi-nated stairs for Jenise, who now uses a scooter, but is also across the street from Ashley and Emma’s school.

“My children have become very independent, which I don’t necessarily think is a bad thing,” she added. “But sometimes it is hard to explain why we can’t go to a ball game and why they have to make their own lunches.”

After a recommendation from a friend, the Carl family visited the Newmarket-based hospice to explore programs and services they could utilize as a family.

They decided on the art thera-py program.

The hospice art therapy program uses a non-directive approach, meaning clay, paint and pastel creations are those of the clients that express how they feel at that moment in time.

While grief and loss are seri-ous, playfulness and creativity are encouraged throughout the

therapy process.The program, led by profes-

sionally trained art therapists, offers individual and group ses-sions for tots to seniors that are grouped into three categories: newly diagnosed, caregiver and bereaved clients.

“Art therapy really helped me on my spiritual journey,” she said. “And it really brought a lot out of my children and support for my husband. Despite what people think, the hospice isn’t just for end-of-life situations.”

While her daughters expressed their emotions, frustrations and fears through art creations and chats with the art therapist, Jenise and Mike both found comfort in being able to chat with others about their challenges, hopes and frustrations.

“It made us feel less alone,” Jenise said.

“Just venting about little things I can’t talk to Jenise about and sharing similar stories was very comforting,” Mike added. “I would definitely recommend it to oth-ers.”

This program and others offered through Doane House Hospice rely on the generosity of others to continue.

In the past, local organizations

have sponsored the program and covered costs of the materials needed for a year.

$20,000 a year in rent and utilities. Without benefits, the couple

has, at times, struggled to provide

medication for their children, a 17-year-old son in high school and a 19-year-old daughter.

“It’s been a battle. At this point, between the two of us, we’re almost in bankruptcy because the

cost of living is so high versus the wage. We’re just floating. That’s what I say, we’re just floating on water. If we step too far, we’re going to sink,” McKnight said.

“At the moment, we go pay-cheque to paycheque and the paycheque fluctuates. I always say we’re a paycheque away from homelessness because if we, for whatever reason, run out of work and we can’t find something immediately, then we could be on the street no problem.”

The family is not alone, accord-ing to a report from the United Way of Toronto and York Region and McMaster University being unveiled Friday at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts.

The study looks at the impacts of precarious or insecure employ-ment on individuals, households and communities in York Region.

Drilling down on York informa-tion builds on a six-year study and two previous surveys conducted across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.

With more than 40 per cent of York residents surveyed living with some degree of unstable job

prospects, such as working irregu-lar hours, on short-term contracts or without benefits, uncertain employment is not just a Toronto problem, co-author Michelynn Lafleche told York Region Media Group.

Precarious employment stretch-es across all income levels, but has more dire consequences for low and middle-income earners, Laf-leche, the United Way’s director of research, public policy and evalua-tion, said.

“York Region is sometimes thought to be immune from these kinds of challenges that we see in urbanized areas, in cities in partic-ular. But what our data shows… (is) it isn’t a downtown problem, this job precarity problem. It’s a prob-lem for York Region as well and it is indeed a problem for our (GTHA) region overall,” she said.

“It is not just urban, it is a sub-urban problem. It is spread across the region and it is spread across industries. It’s not just people working in service industry jobs where they are working very erratic hours, always part-time hours, always on shift schedules and

things like that. Those people are precarious indeed. But it is actually spread across the manufacturing industry, the knowledge sector and the service sector, as well as the non-profit sector.”

Among the findings, the report shows levels of precarious employ-ment in York are in line with the GTHA average, more than half of York workers earning low and middle incomes are suffering from anxiety that is interfering with their personal and family lives and 63.6 per cent of precariously employed workers in the region are having trouble securing child care, which is limiting their ability to work.

On the other hand, although a small sample size limited the researchers’ ability to draw firm conclusions, York workers appear more likely to have work pensions than the GTHA average and, in some areas, York workers in precar-ious jobs are earning 10 per cent more than average.

Precarious employment affecting people in many industries

Just three months prior, an armed man entered Ben’s Pharmacy on Dalton Road in Sutton, where a pharmacist was forced to hand over the drug after being threatened at knife-point.

But Coovadia is not the only one speak-ing out.

Pharmacists in Pefferlaw and Sutton have told yorkregion.com that the problem is growing out of control and are urging police to get involved in a ‘Patch-4-Patch’ program similar the one to be launched in Barrie this

summer.In that community, the chief of police

liaised with public health nurse Mia Brown to implement the plan, in which patients will only be able to get new fentanyl patches after handing the pharmacist their used ones, as long as they contain all the hall-marks of proper use.

“The hair and skin will be all on there; they will be obviously used,” Brown said.

(IBI) and Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA).

With the new funding, 16,000 more chil-dren will receive the critical interventions they need each year, according to Peter

Spadoni, with the Ministry of Children and Youth Services.

But while the Liberals are pumping more money in, they are bumping older kids out, and the Ontario Autism Coalition, a non-profit advocacy group, is campaigning to force the government to reverse the decision.

Under the new plan, children who are turning five between May 1, 2016 and March 31, 2018 will dropped from the IBI wait list. That’s because clinical evidence shows chil-dren with Autism Spectrum Disorder benefit the most from intensive services at an early age, Spadoni said.

Families with older children still on the wait list will receive $8,000 in one-time fund-ing to purchase other services and supports.

That money, said Richmond Hill mom Danna Schaubel, is a drop in the bucket.

“I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but it really doesn’t do much. It just pays for one and a half months of full time therapy.”

Schaubel said she “battled red tape and jumped through hoops” to have her daugh-ter, Melanie, deemed eligible for IBI.

“We waited patiently for our turn and the last we heard we were number 92 on the list. But she turned five in November.”

Under the new program, Melanie is no longer eligible.

“Not one board-certified behaviour ana-lyst — the people who administer IBI — was on the government committee that reviewed and assessed programs and deemed IBI not

suitable for kids over 5,” she said.Rosie Ferguson, co-host with York

Region’s 105.9 radio, wishes the government had consulted families like hers, whose child benefitted from IBI at age 5.

Instead, she said, the family is now left without hope.

“The only thing worse than waiting for therapy for your child is to wait for nothing.”

“There is plenty of evidence proving that kids over age five make progress with IBI and I’ve seen no studies that show it doesn’t work,” Schaubel said.

The Oak Ridges mom said she has first-hand evidence that therapy does work.

While waiting her turn on the wait list, Schaubel and her husband paid for private therapy at a cost of $40,000 to $50,000 a year.

It was hard going, she says. Schaubel works in Mississauga, her husband works downtown, and her daughter’s therapy is based in Newmarket.

For male gymnasts, that’s not necessarily the case. In fact, long-held perceptions often leave a stig-ma attached to the sport, an issue gymnastics clubs have battled seemingly forever as they struggle to attract and keep boys and men in the sport.

The six disciplines of men’s gymnastics demand physical conditioning and skills possibly beyond any other sport.

Still, it doesn’t hurt to have a tough layer of skin.

The latter attribute is important for athletes in a sport where stereo-typing often prematurely chases young males to the sidelines.

It’s no real surprise that less than 10 per cent of the gymnastics population is male.

Nick Mallia, 21, has an eye on the 2020 Olympic Games. A national stream athlete, he’s endured teasing and taunting since he was a young boy, but stuck with his sport of choice.

“I’ve been competing all my life,” said Mallia, who trains at Pul-sars Gymnastics in Newmarket and is qualified for national champion-ships in Edmonton next month. “I just kept liking it and was good at it.

“Growing up, I was made fun of all the time,” he said. “When you’re young, it’s insulting and I didn’t like it. I never understood why, but whenever I told someone I did gymnastics, they’d say, ‘Why not try a real sport?’ Now, I tell people and they think it’s awesome and won-

Male gymnasts brush off taunts, aim to shatter stigmader why they didn’t get into it.”

It is an issue gym operators understand very well. They make the bulk of their business from children at a recreational level and young women at competitive levels and sense a potentially large mar-ket for the guys that is not so easy to tap.

For instance, at Pulsars, about 100 of 1,200 registered for pro-grams are boys. Of that total, per-haps 35 to 40 are in competitive streams.

“Ever since I was young, I was teased in school for gymnastics,” said Ray Wood, a competitive level coach. “It still goes on for boys, but not so much, but there still is a stigma and a negative attached to it. The stereotypes are still there, but toning down.

“I can’t see why there is a stigma, but maybe the only way to break the stereotype is to start in our own little area. Most of the boys take it well. We talk to them and look at the possibility of bul-lying.

“When I was younger, I didn’t have many boys to compete against. There are far more (boys) now.”

Yet, there could be even more. It’s been nearly 12 years since

Kyle Shewfelt won a gold medal in floor at the Athens Olympics in 2004. Many sports would have experienced an uptick in popular-ity with such a result. It didn’t hap-pen in Canada.

“There was a ripple effect and registration went up a bit, but then it dived off,” said Wood.

Part of the problem is the lack of opportunities to make money in

gymnastics, he said.“Once (athletes) get to the end

of high school or college and real-ize there is no payout to this sport, that they’re not getting anything back except internal reward, it doesn’t keep you in the sport.”

The sport has grown up since Wood started coaching 28 years ago, shortly after a back injury ended his competitive career.

“It’s the difficulty of skills,” he said. “Boys now at provincial levels are doing lots more than when I was going for nationals. The qual-ity of coaching is so much better.“

Likewise, and like any sport at an elite level, time spent training is significant.

“It takes a lot to be in this sport and train 15 hours per week,” said head coach Sean Heaslip of Auro-ra’s Evolution Gymnastics. “There is a lot of work, commitment and things you have to give up.

“Too often, kids train so hard, it becomes work and they find they don’t like coming to the gym. I encourage the boys to do other sports as well. There is a passion required for any sport, but (gym-nastics) helps with strength, bal-ance, agility. It’s a well-rounded sport.”

“For boys growing up, there’s not too many who think of gymnastics as a sport to get into,” said Heaslip. “It’s not promoted too well, espe-cially considering you see hockey promoted 24/7 on television.”

Because males are far in the minority, those in the industry can only muse at what might have been.

“It’s always been that way and likely will be,” said Wendy Gilles, owner of Kids SuperGym in Aurora. “The big thing is the stigma. Most little guys want to be in hockey where it’s rough and tumble. We

tend to lose them at 10 or 11 years. Unless they are totally passionate, they want a team sport.”

A former member of the Cana-dian women’s national team, Gilles points out that gymnastics provides a solid foundation for so many other activities and sports.

“We try to sell the fact that (male) gymnasts are built, strong and powerful and can do all sorts of cool things,” said Gilles. “The guys are so multitalented and gym-nastics is a base for so many other things. There’s flexibility, balance, strength and power.

“The faster we can get them flipping and doing cool things, the better.”

Mallia hardly needs to be con-vinced.

“By Grade 11 or 12, I noticed I was bigger and stronger than most of the guys around,” he said. “A back flip is a great party trick. It’s an easy conversation starter.”

Mallia also coaches gymnastics and trampoline to boys at Pulsars. His message to his students is simple.

“I tell them if they like it, to keep doing it,” he said. “You never know where it will take you. I think maybe because people made fun of me, I pushed myself to go fur-ther.”

Beyond the teasing, there is nothing to suggest males are not cut out for gymnastics as a chosen sport.

“I couldn’t tell you why that is,” said Mallia, of the stigma many attach to the sport. “Maybe people think right away there are more women in it, or that it’s about flex-ibility and not strength of power.

Boys can perform gymnastics from toddler to adulthood. Post-puberty, when strength becomes a factor, is when males start to see results.

“The men’s physiques on some athletes are muscular and strong,” said Wood. “They have to be to perform super difficult moves.

“Pound for pound, gymnasts are the strongest athletes in the world. It takes years to learn an iron cross or other moves. That shows how much discipline and conditioning are required. It’s good for co-ordi-nation and the skills transfer to so many other sports.”

n baseball, there’s a saying that girls adore the long ball.

When it comes to gym-nastics, backflips pinch hit for the home run.

So, you’d think a young man capable of such an impressive move from a standing position would be the envy of just about everybody in the crowd.

‘Pound for pound, gymnasts are the

strongest athletes in the world.’

‘I never understood why, but whenever I told

someone I did gymnastics, they’d say,

‘Why not try a real sport?’ Now, I tell people and they

think it’s awesome and wonder why they didn’t

get into it.’

aseball is swinging a big bat again.The Toronto Blue Jays’ 2015

resurgence can easily be linked to an increase in youth baseball registration sweeping the province,

and likely Canada, for the coming summer. Not since the golden era of the early 1990s, when the Blue Jays won consecutive World Series titles has there been such excitement in domestic sandlot dugouts.

Resurging popularity brings the issue of finding facilities for kids to play.

The Aurora King Baseball Association has already established waiting lists for its four house league divisions, ranging from senior rookie to bantam. Last season, the house league program fielded 520 youths. Already, 820 have registered, complementing 84 rep team players.

It’s resulted in an effort to squeeze every possible hour from the Town of Aurora’s facilities, or face the prospect of turning away disappointed kids.

“We anticipated a 20 per cent growth and we’re way beyond that,” said president Allen Wilson. “Kids want to play baseball and just can’t. If we can get diamonds approved by next year, we can maintain our numbers and go beyond.”

The former house leagues vice-president for seven seasons notes typical annual growth averages six to eight per cent.

The Blue Jays’ playoff run last season ended a drought of more than 20 seasons between post-season appearances, clearly prompting a new generation of kids to try things with a bat and glove.

“I checked the numbers with Baseball Ontario for 1993 and 1994 and they said it

sports

John CudmoreCuddy Shark

was a 30 per cent increase in house league registrations around the GTA,” said Wilson.

The Town of Aurora came into the season short on playing fields for youth baseball.

Aurora director of parks and recreation Al Downey declined a request for comment.

In Newmarket, registration is up an impressive 28 per cent, which will take the program over the 1,000-player threshold.

“We haven’t had to cap it yet,” said NBA president Tim Boswell, whose program boasts 21 rep teams. “Our policy is to try to get all registrants in. That’s our plan. I think we have enough diamonds.”

The biggest growth area is at the impres-sionable peewee (11 to 13 years) age group.

“We’re limited in the number of parks, no doubt about it, but we can work around it with the number of games we’ll schedule,” said Boswell.

There’s potential for overcrowding for older age groups in which a pitching mound is required.

Express stress

The predictable aspect of player drafts is their unpredictablity.

The draft process is an inexact science, impossible to prognosticate precisely what players and teams are thinking. One general manager’s buried treasure is another’s blue-chip prospect and yet another selector’s later round filler. Kid A won’t report to Team B if selected, or Player C might opt to pursue a scholarship in the United States unless he is picked by Team D.

Perceptions, gut feelings, hunches and late-round favours all play roles in draft day.

Consider the Ontario Hockey League’s minor midget priority draft held Saturday.

On the surface, the York Simcoe Express had 12 of 16 eligible players selected dur-ing the 15-round process. Two more certain to be chosen in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League draft next month will bump the tally close to a remarkable 80 per cent of the team selected into the Canadian Hockey League ranks.

You expect the top team in the minor midget ranks to receive some love, right?

Yet for all its success and winning —

Silver Stick, OMHA playoffs and OHL Cup — this season, the Express roster was overlooked during the first-round. Finally, at 28th, forward Cameron Hillis made the first dent in the draft for the local program, followed by defenceman Carter Roberston (30th) and forward Rhys Forhan (33rd).

It’s hard to know what to make of it, espe-cially in a hockey community that values team play resulting in championships.

“I wouldn’t say I’m disappointed, but the kids, I think, were ripped off a little bit,” said Express head coach Rob Shilton, who has acknowledged team depth over star power as a key success factor. “I really think our kids got punished a bit for being so good and that (OHL) teams undervalued the perfor-mance of some of our guys.

“At the end of the day it is a treat just to get drafted, but now you’re just another guy.”

He notes that a draft slot is rather mean-ingless for most players beyond the first, maybe second round, once they step onto the ice for their new teams.

Tigers’ Ham opts for NCAA Clarkson Golden Knights scholarshipBY JOHN [email protected]

For Liam Ham, choosing 1A over 1B was no easy matter.

On the one hand, the United States col-lege route beckoned with a full-ride scholar-ship offer from Clarkson University Golden Knights. On the other, the more familiar Ontario Hockey League’s Niagara IceDogs

were pushing hard for their sixth-round pick defenceman from the 2015 priority draft.

“It was a really hard decision,” said the 17-year-old resident of Newmarket, who played last season for the Aurora Tigers in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. “Grow-ing up in Ontario it’s all about the OHL and that’s all you hear since you’re six years old and you get excited by that.

“My goal is still to play in the NHL. It’s just a different path is all.”

With several returning defencemen, Ham knew he would be unlikely to see enough ice time with the IceDogs this season. Still, he was mindful that both Clarkson, which plays in the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and Niagara were keeping close tabs on him as the season progressed.

“I thought I’d go to Aurora and hope to have a good year and explore the NCAA and see what that’s all about,” said the Grade 11 student at Villanova College in King City. “Then go back and see what Niagara says.”

His scholarship is due to begin in the 2017-18 season.

“It’s pretty cool,” said Ham, who is uncer-tain where he’ll be playing the 2016-17 sea-son. “Clarkson has such a rich history and hockey and business programs.

“In the end, I just thought in the NCAA I’d get my education while still playing great hockey. I’ll step out of school at 22 and have my education and a chance to go on. Educa-tion is very important in my family.”

Ham pointed out his personal research confirms the NCAA route is continuing to grow as a supplier of talent to the NHL.

“The OHL is exciting because I’d be play-

ing next year so I can definitely see being there,” he said. “The NCAA may be a slower route but it’s picking up with guys going to the NHL.”

A former member of the York Simcoe Express triple-A program, Ham was only one of two Tigers to play in all 54 regular season games, compiling 21 points as a rookie.

In the meantime, Ham intends to play for the Barrie Lakeshores in the Ontario Lacrosse Association’s Junior A Lacrosse League this season. He was selected third overall in the 2016 draft conducted by the league.

Sooner or later, something had to give.

In this case, it was not the extraordinary run of success for the Aurora Panthers atom double-A hockey team.

Ultimately, a goal by Mikayla Cranney in the final minute of the third period proved the difference, as the Panthers edged the Clar-ington Flames 1-0 in the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association gold-medal game Sunday afternoon in Mississauga.

Cranney broke up a goalless duel when she scored with 36 sec-onds remaining to back the fifth shutout in six games for netminder Jalyn St. Louis as the Panthers capped a perfect six-win week-end in a showdown of previously unbeaten teams in the tourna-ment.

It marked the third straight OWHA provincial title for the core of the Panthers team.

over the Barrie Sharks, as Kalista Kurtes notched two goals.

After sweeping through three preliminary round games without surrendering a goal, the Panthers topped the North Halton Twisters 5-1 in quarter-final action behind a four-goal performance from Abby Lunney.

The triumph marked the fifth tournament title claimed this sea-son by the Panthers squad.

Evolution’s Heaslip secures gold at provincials

Kieran Heaslip topped a field of 28 competitors to win gold overall at the Ontario provincial stream boys gymnastics championships last weekend in Mississauga.

Heaslip, a member of Evolution Gymnastics Aurora, claimed gold on the floor routine and vault and placed second on rings on the way to topping the Level 3 field for 12 and 13 year olds.

He was also third on pommel horse and high bar.

Swann named Seneca Sting soccer team’s top rookie

Defender Kendra Swann of Newmarket was named top female rookie for Seneca College Sting as the school’s 49th athletic awards banquet held Wednesday night.

The first-year veterinary techni-cian student appeared in 10 of 14 women’s soccer games last season helping the Sting to a silver medal at the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association championships.

The Sting posted an 8-3-3 over-all record, which included a 4-1 loss to Algonquin College in the Ontario final.

Shenderey’s Turza, Janiki claim Team Ontario berths

Jessica Turza (pictured) of Shenderey Gymnastics had first-place marks in floor routine and bars to solidify gold all-around in her category at the Ontario provin-cial stream gymnastics champion-ships in Mississauga last weekend.

Competing at Level 7 for the 16-and-older age category, Turza also placed second on the beam and third on vault, to capture top spot and claim a berth on Team Ontario for the Eastern Canadian championships May 5 to 9 in Que-bec City.

Clubmate Samantha Janiki won vault in Level 8 (ages 10 and 11) to also clinch a berth on the Ontario squad.

Shenderey also celebrated over-all gold, as Rowan Bradley won the Level 7 category for nine-year-olds, while Daisy Allain topped he field in Level 6 at the same age category.

hen Dave Joslin passed away Feb. 21 at age 75, many resi-dents of Richmond Hill felt the town had

lost a good friend.The eulogy by Mayor Dave

Barrow brought mourners to tears.

“Jozzy”, the mayor said, was one of the best friends anybody could have.

“We all have a piece of Dave in our memories. Keep it there and think of him when you need a friend.”

Dave was a kind, gentle soul who loved life and loved his community and according to his sons, Jeff, Mark and Paul, he was following in the footsteps of his father, Herbert Joslin, a hero to the community 54 years ago.

Herbert died while trying to stop an explosion that nearly flat-tened much of Vaughan and Rich-mond Hill in 1962.

Herbert had worked as a store clerk for Superior Propane and was a volunteer firefighter in Vaughan.

He’d rushed to the scene of a gas leak, shutting of a valve at the plan to save countless lives. Seven houses were demolished that day but damage could have been much, much worse.

Dave Joslin was friend and inspiration to many

WKnowing his father died a hero

(awarded, post-humously, the Queen’s congressional award for bravery) impacted Dave deeply.

He and his twin sister, Peggy Viverette, carried on Herbert’s leg-acy, striving to be a good human beings, respected, loved and giv-ing to the community. He raised his own children and grandchil-dren Derek, Brett, Jamie, Kyle and Charlotte the same way, Paul said.

For the five grandchildren it was simple: “Our great grandad was a hero and our grandad was a legend.”

Today, his family remains well-known in Richmond Hill. Daughter-in-law Darlene Joslin is director of the town’s parks and recreation department, Paul is a firefighter for the town and anoth-er son, Mark, is a professional hockey trainer/coach in town.

Judy, his wife of 54 years, was the love of his life and family was everything to him. Their life together revolved around the boys’ games and tournaments and Dave volunteered as coach, convener and cheerleader.

Even after the boys grew older and could drive themselves to games, Dave and his wife Judy could be found perched in the stands, cheering them on — a tra-dition they carried on with their grandchildren.

“I don’t think that he realized

for the celebration of life and as tributes and condolences poured in online, it became clear the facilities at Marshall Funeral Home would not be large enough.

The service was held instead in the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts on a Friday morning, March 4.

how he was positively affecting 13 kids — making us feel like all stars,” said Mark Tullock, one of the athletes Dave coached.

“That encouraged me to want to coach myself using Mr. J’s method — fun first, winning sec-ond.”

When the time came to plan

Even that large venue couldn’t contain all the well-wishers who wanted to celebrate Dave’s life, leaving standing-room only to hear sister-in-law Jackie Richard-son and nieces Kim Richardson and Cori Byberg sing, the mayor eulogize and friends reunite and reminisce.

“Every time I and everybody else turned around, we were run-ning into people that we haven’t seen in a long time and we had stories to share with each other,” Bill Neilson, family friend, said.

“He was a friend to Richmond Hill.”

And he was a friend to many who frequented nearby Eagles Nest golf course, where Dave spent the past 12 years as the club’s best known, most respected greeter/starter.

“He truly was a goodwill ambassador, not only for the golf course, but for mankind,” said Ron Nicholson.

April 29, opening day at the course this year, will also be Dave’s birthday and it will be bit-tersweet, as golfers learn about Dave’s passing, and friends and family take his place at tee-off to greet them and offer tributes to a man well loved.

Dave Joslin passed away at age 75, with family and friends offer-ing tributes to the man as a goodwill ambassador in hockey arenas and ball dia-monds, on the golf course and in the wider community of Richmond Hill. Even the downtown theatre wasn’t large enough to accommodate all those wish-ing to pay their respects.

Personal PrayerTo The

Holy Spirit

Our Mother of Perpetual HelpHoly Spirit Thou make me see everything and show me the way to reach my ideal. You who give the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank You for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from You no matter how great the material desire may be. I want to be with You and my loved ones in Your perpetual glory. Amen. Person must pray this 3 consecutive days without stating one's wish. After the 3rd day your wish will be granted no matter how difficult it may be. Promise to publish this as soon as your favor has been granted.
