rom service limitations to the need for road improvements at rail cross-ings to fears about constant whistle-blowing, York Region councillors are echoing concerns of residents about

significant improvements coming to GO

train service.Two months ago at a town hall meeting in

Aurora, residents told Transportation Minis-ter Steven Del Duca, also MPP for Vaughan, they welcome the incoming upgrades.

At the same time, they voiced concerns with transforming GO train service into GO regional express rail service, featuring two-

way, all-day electrified service with trains every 15 minutes in core areas.

Regional councillors shared similar wor-ries with representatives of Metrolinx, the provincial transportation and transit agency for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, at a committee meeting last Thursday.

While Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti

praised improved GO train service, he urged Metrolinx to extend 15-minute peak service beyond what is being proposed, especially to Stouffville.

Dunsmuir fire inquest delayedBY SIMON [email protected]

he coroner’s inquest into the deaths of Kevin, Jennifer, Robert and Cameron Dunsmuir in a house fire in Sharon in 2013 has been delayed.

Dr. William J. Lucas, regional super-vising coroner for central region, central west office, announced this week the inquest into the deaths of the Dunsmuirs and Benjamin Twiddy, Marilee Towie and Holly Harrison, who died during a house fire in Whitby in 2012, originally scheduled to begin Sept. 21, has been postponed for procedural reasons.

According to Lucas, the inquest has been challenging because it involves two separate and distinct circumstances, which present logistical hurdles trying to get all the parties together.

Part of the reason the coroner’s office combined the cases was to draw more interest and have greater impact on pub-lic education, Lucas said.

The inquest was to examine events surrounding all of the deaths, including

various aspects of fire safety before and during a fire and local emergency ser-vices’ response.

The jury may make recommendations aimed at preventing similar deaths.

The Ontario Fire Marshal released a report on the Dunsmuir Fire in August after an 18-month investigation.

According to Fire Marshal Ted Wieclawek, a buildup of lint in the dryer caused the fire that killed four members of the Dunsmuir family.

The fire marshal’s report went on to say the family members’ chances of sur-vival were hampered by the fact there was no working smoke alarm on the first floor, which delayed emergency assistance.

The fire spread too quickly for the occupants to have time to escape by the time the upstairs alarm sounded.

One of the family members required assistance to escape, which also could have delayed evacuation, Wieclawek said.

By the time fire crews arrived, rescue was not possible.

No date for the inquest has been scheduled as of yet.

East Gwillimbury remains ‘frustrated’ with region’s sewage system delay

BY LISA [email protected]

ast Gwillimbury’s brewing resentment with York Region over delays with the Upper York Sewage Solution appar-ently isn’t going away any time soon.

“I don’t think it’s a case of being ticked off, I think it’s a case of being disappoint-ed and frustrated,” Councillor James Young said after the issue was discussed at a regional committee meeting Thursday, outlining poten-tial growth scenarios for York.

“I think, from East Gwillimbury’s stand-point, for a number of years, we’ve made deci-sions based on what we felt were commitments from York Region… We need to find a way to make this happen before we accept whatever growth projections are going to be pushed

down on us.”Assurances from regional chairperson

Wayne Emmerson and Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti that the project remains a high region-al priority don’t appease town council, which is now drafting a resolution opposing growth forecasts without the necessary regional infra-structure, Young said.

Dunsmuir foundation gives $4K to EGMHABY SIMON MARTIN [email protected]

he Dunsmuir name was synony-mous with hockey in East Gwil-limbury.

The family spent countless hours at the East Gwiillimbury

Sports Complex honing their craft. That’s why a donation from the Dunsmuir Dream Foundation to East Gwillimbury Minor Hockey was a natural fit.

The foundation donated $4,000 to EGMHA earlier this month.

The majority of money raised by the foundation is through a 3-on-3 hockey

tournament the foundation hosts every summer. Other money comes from fund-raisers done through Sacred Heart Catho-lic High School.

Alex Miles, a former teammate of Rob-ert Dunsmuir, helped start the foundation to carry on the Dunsmuirs’ legacy.

“Last year, we donated to Newmarket Minor Hockey. We didn’t just want to give to one area,” he said. “They grew up play-ing in East Gwillimbury. There is hockey players everywhere that could use extra money.”

Town still upset about UYSS delay

ing East Gwillimbury to grow from today’s population of less than 22,500 to about 108,700 in 2041.

While Young said East Gwillim-bury has and will continue to work co-operatively with the region, the town remains upset with a regional decision last spring to delay some projects, including the UYSS, due to financial constraints, Young said.

“We felt these things were com-mitted. These were in a 10-year capital plan for York Region, then they were pulled out. They’re pulled out, they’re pushed off to the end of the 10-year capital planning process and we felt that it’s been at the last minute and we’ve been the last to know. That has put us in a very dif-ficult position trying to plan for our community,” he said, adding the town is also frustrated with delays in regional transportation projects.

“The only way that we’re going to be able to push forward our agenda is through co-operation with the Region of York, but we need to, at the same time, stand up for our-selves and say, ‘Look, when it comes down to it, it’s not a case where we’re ticked off, it’s a case we cannot make this community move forward the way that it needs to unless we have this infrastructure in place and we have the support of York Region to do it. We just can’t.’”

Mayor Virginia Hackson echoed Young’s concerns in the meeting, saying the town is struggling with the uncertainty of when infrastruc-ture will be built.

The region is waiting for Envi-ronment Minister Glen Murray to send a letter indicating the province wants to move forward with the project, Emmerson said.

In the meantime, the region has committed $72 million in its budget to keep preliminary work on the project moving forward, he said.

“So, we haven’t stopped the pro-cess on the Upper York. We’re still working very hard to get that going, but as soon as the minister gives us the letter (that) we can go ahead with the Upper York, we will start other processes,” Emmerson said.

He has met with the develop-ment industry and the town’s CAO to explain the situation and is hop-ing to set up a meeting with Murray.

Emmerson would also be pleased to come to East Gwillim-bury council and explain “we have not let the ball drop.”

“We’re still going forward. We know you have pressures, but so do we have pressures in all municipali-ties in the Region of York,” he said.

“We haven’t forgot East Gwil-limbury, even though some in the newspaper seem to think and some of your councillors seem to think we have. But we haven’t. We will work as hard as we can to get that.”

The region has identified the UYSS as its top infrastructure prior-ity, Scarpitti said.

“Let me tell you, with all the needs in York Region, for that sew-age plant to be the No. 1 project for our submission for infrastructure, if that doesn’t say a statement about the fact it hasn’t fallen off the rails, I don’t know what does,” he said.

The discussion on the UYSS was prompted by a report looking at three possible growth scenarios for the region.

A preferred option is expected to be presented to council in Novem-ber.

As part of a growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, York is expected to grow from today’s population of 1.13 million to almost 1.8 million in 2041.

Meanwhile, the number of jobs in the region is expected to increase from today’s 564,000 to 900,000 in 2041.

The money will be used to help players in need buy equipment and pay for registration fees. It’s very important for the foundation to know exactly where the money is going to be used. “We don’t want it going into a general fund,” Miles said.

The donation was welcome news for the EGMHA

“We are extremely pleased to receive this donation. With the increased cost of minor sports, it is great that there are still some ave-nues available to make it affordable to more families,” EGMHA president Eric Kopsala said. “It is also a fan-tastic way to remember the Dun-smuir family of East Gwillimbury, who were always great supporters of minor hockey.”

The Dunsmuir Dream Founda-tion has hosted an annual tourna-ment for three years. For more infor-mation about the foundation, visit their Facebook page.

Kevin, Jennifer, Robert and Cam-eron Dunsmuir were killed in a Sha-ron house fire in 2013.

aybe it is a belief in strength in numbers.

Or, perhaps mere-ly that courage trav-els well in groups.

Either way, boot camp training has become a fashionable way to get beat up while smacking down the pounds.

There seems to be no magic formula for what drives people to group settings associated with boot camps. The only thing that matters is the end result.

“To be honest, how people view this depends on what you want to get out of it,” said Newmarket resident Jamison Boyle, who has developed his own training for extreme athletic events, includ-ing survival runs, ultra-marathons and adventure racing around the world, into a chance for others to work out with him at Newmarket Boot Camp.

“(Boot camp) gives folks a chance to meet like-minded indi-viduals and to do things they want to without the intimidation they might encounter in a gym or larger group.”

Boasting a wide range and imaginative array of activities, it is not difficult to find one that is appealing to personal tastes.

Intense, barking instructors are optional. Same for in-the-park workouts where fresh air and fun might be part of the mix.

“Basically, it’s for general fitness and to feel better about them-selves,” said Boyle. “The focus is on getting excited about exercise in general and to become more active. It’s almost an introduction

FEATURE

to fitness as a whole.”It is up to the individual partici-

pant to determine personal goals, pace and dedication to training. No surprise there, but many peo-ple do require a nudge in the right direction.

Jessica Ulrich and Meagan Davis are the self-named Quad Squad.

In their second year of oper-ating boot camps, they suggest working out in a comfortable atmosphere is a significant reason for the popularity of the training method.

“We’d heard the horror stories,” said Davis, a kinesiology graduate from Sir Wilfrid Laurier University. “People standing in your face, getting yelled at, but we’re here to have fun.”

Her instructing partner chimes in, pointing out there’s a need for a work-like setting to achieve results.

“Having people around moti-vates some people, but you have to be able to tell when and how to push them,” said Ulrich. “You kind of lose that at the gym and you might stop before you reach your limit.

“A lot of girls say they just don’t like the typical gym setting. We’re having a good time, sweating. Many of the girls are here to enjoy the social aspect.

“This summer we’ve had women focus on high intensity and interval training. It’s fun, but it’s also something you can do at home.”

It’s a portable activity from the viewpoint that just about anything can be employed as an apparatus. For Davis and Ulrich, who work for MetamorFit in Keswick, gear is

what they can fit into their cars.“That’s the nice thing, that

everything is customizable to just about anything you want,” said Ulrich. “We try to alter rotations each week so you’re not doing the same thing.

Some of the girls have been with us for 14 weeks, so we’re look-ing to keep their interest up.”

Variety is the spice of life. And working out, too.

“Some of the girls like the motivation of one time per week,” added Davis. “Others like to take their exercises from here into the gym and apply it to their gym pro-grams.”

Currently in his second year of working with others, Boyle’s classes are body-weight oriented, focused and conducted at high-intensity. He has a group of about 23 participants with a core of eight or nine individuals who stick it out for twice weekly sessions from May until into September.

“People feel more comfortable about themselves and what they are doing,” Boyle said. “People feel better when the know who they are participating with.

“One of the attractive features is that the popularity of boot camp, with the popularity of cross-fit, has increased people’s interest in trying more than typical exercises. We can introduce people to new movements and also to try things they might not have the courage to do at a gym.

“You can scream about 50 push-ups or sit-ups, but they’re not going to come back although there are some people who pay for that and it’s what they want.”

Rain or shine, Pedja Milosav-

Mljevic makes it a point to attend as many sessions as he can with Boyle. Clearly in a minority among a female-centric class, he has been a regular at least once or twice weekly since the outdoor program started in early May. He plans to hang in until the weather says it’s time to pack up and move indoors.

“We’ve been out there in the pouring rain, but you power through it,” the 32-year-old Mount Albert resident said. “It adds to the experience. There’s a lot of fun stuff you wouldn’t get at a regular gym.

“I always had trouble staying on top of things and this (format) motivates me to stay on top of my fitness. I enjoy the dynamic of being in a group with people cheering me on to do things.”

Boyle explains there are differ-ences between the genders in how training is perceived and drills received.

“Women are tougher than men,” he said. “Women under-stand their bodies and what they are capable of and what they can’t do. So they’re feeling better about themselves.

“It’s about feeling comfortable with exercise and realizing it’s not as bad as it seems. You sweat, yes, but it’s only for 40 minutes and the next day you feel terrific.

“People put a lot of trust in their instructor and want to feel good the next day. Most are look-ing for someone to guide them and show them the way.”

That’s why Milosavljevic chose this particular boot camp.

“I know Jamie lives the lifestyle, so it was definitely great to know he was teaching.”

CAMPS GIVE LAZINESS THE BOOT

BY JOHN [email protected]

Are there enough pieces of the fitness pie to go around?

Andy Laird thinks so.The personal trainer and

owner of MetamorFit in Keswick believes general fitness is unhin-dered by boundaries so there is room for a wide range of boot camps and traditional gym set-tings to co-exist.

“There are so many people who need fitness and an enjoy-able way to include it in their lives that I don’t see it being the type of thing where there is too much competition,” said Laird, who conducts classes through his company in his private stu-dio and in gym settings. “We’re all working toward one great goals — to improve fitness of the general public.”

The bottom line is that some people are comfortable in more traditional gym settings. Others enjoy a group setting.

“I don’t think it has to be an either-or situation,” said Laird. “There are benefits to both. The variety helps to keep people motivated and going.

“Boot camps are not for everyone. Many people would rather do zumba or dance or stretching and aerobics. The key is to find whatever works for them and keep in mind they can still get results and enjoy.”

Laird recognizes the fitness business is one in which people ride the waves of popularity and move to the beat of the latest trends.

“Everything in fitness hits a peak and drops off,” he said. “Then it finds a new incarna-tion or form. There are lots of approaches available but people usually find their way through the maze.”

Only cOnstant is change

Evolving methods and practises is a constant factor in the industry, points out Dan Go, owner of Go Girl Body Transformation Centre in Markham.

Boot camps are no different.“We realized the girls were

coming in not to get their butts kicked, but to change their bod-ies,” said Go, who altered the name from Go Girls Boot Camps two years ago. “It’s really about everything from stimulating weight loss to rehabbing inju-ries and keeping them hyper-accountable to the goals they’ve set.

“The boot camp model is evolving, even personal training is evolving.”

Go points out that women, in particular, look to settings that are non-intimidating. In fact, he is developing an online program to expand the reach of his meth-ods.

“The thing about boot camps is that there are different types with different styles. Everybody gravitates to what they feel addresses their needs and serves their goals.”

“Women, especially, love coming into a non-judgmental atmosphere where they can feel comfortable.”

How to Put a Price on Pain

Personalinjury law

DarcyDarcy is a lawyer withBoland Howe LLP, TrialLawyers for the Injured,and can be reached at905.841.5717www.bolandhowe.com

Canadian LawyerMagazine hasrecognized BolandHoweas one of the Top 10Personal Injury lawfirms in Canada.

The year was 1978.Pierre Trudeau was

prime minister. SaturdayNight Fever and StarWars were in theaters.McCartney was withWings. Lennon was withYoko. And Apple was inits first year of sales.

OnJanuary19th, 1978 threetragic cases all rose to theSupreme Court of Canada,where nine judges decidedhow Canadian law wouldcompensate the injuredfor pain and suffering. InAndrews v. Grand andToy, Jim Andrews wasan 18-year-old who wasrendered quadriplegic in acar accident. In Thorntonv School District 57,Gary Thorton was an18-year-old who wasrendered quadriplegic ina gymnastics accidentat school. In Arnold v.Teno, Diane Teno was a

four-and-a-half-year-oldgirl who was renderedpartially paralyzed andseverely brain injuredafter stepping into trafficfrom behind an ice creamtruck.

The dilemma, of course,is the impossibility ofmeasuring pain and theabsurdity of translating itinto money. However, thealternative of saying thereshouldbenocompensationsince it can’t be perfectlydone, is equally absurd.Undeniably there isprofound loss; the problemis in the measuring.

The court was concernedthat leaving juriesunfettered to select whatnumber they consideredjust, would produce wildlyvariable and unpredictableresults, as demonstratedin the USA. However,the court was also againsta tariff system, whichprevailed in the daysof King Alfred, whena thumb was worth 30shillings. Instead the courtpreferred a combinedapproach where the juryassesses the loss of theindividual person, but themaximum amount thatcan be awarded is capped.In 1978, it was capped at$100,000 (which in 2015equates to $362,678).

While this seems lowto most people, the capwas part of a trade-off,with the Supreme Courtemphasizing that victimsshould be compensatedfor the future losses ofincome on a tax-freebasis and their futurecare needs. In particular,the court rejected the

defendants’ argumentthat they should only beresponsible for the costof institutionalized care,as opposed to “luxurious”home care.

The $362,678 capremains, but it has beeneroded over the past 10years in Ontario. In 2003,the government grantedautomobile insurancecompanies a $30,000deductible on claimsvalued under $100,000.This August, reforms toautomobile insurancelegislation increased thesedeductibles with inflation.Effective August 31, 2015the new deductible is$36,450, and the $100,000benchmark is raised to$121,799.

Juries are unaware and nottold about the deductible.There are limits on whatplaintiff lawyers can sayto help juries value suchlosses. Meanwhile, thedefendant can appearreasonable in suggesting$35,000 or less, knowingit really means zero, or$120,000 knowing itreally means $83,550.

Nevertheless, with acompelling narrativeand the support ofa victim’s friends,family and treatmentproviders, fair awards areavailable. We are proudof our precedent-settingdecisions in relation tokneeinjuries,burninjuries,chronic pain and facialdisfigurement, whichhave been recognized asthe highest awards forpain and suffering in theircategory, when they weredecided.

Mayor and council golf tourney raises fundsBY SIMON MARTIN [email protected]

Thousands of dollars were raised for com-munity groups and East Gwillimbury youth at the town’s Mayor and Council Golf Tourna-ment at Pheasant Run Golf Club Tuesday.

While the fundraising total for this year’s event is not yet known, over the past few years, the charity tournament has netted around $40,000.

The Youth & Community Initiatives Fund provides assistance to local youth participat-ing in recreational activities and local groups/organizations to help with community events and program delivery.

This will be the second year the funds from the tournament will be doled out by the

mayor and council golf tournament commit-tee, made up of independent volunteers.

Council has made a significant effort to get more money from the fund out into the community.

The grant limit was raised from $2,500 to $5,000 for local groups to help put money from the fund back into the community. In the past, the fund supported activities such as scouts, hockey, soccer, mission trips, summer camp and skating lessons.

Some community groups that were sup-ported include CHATS, Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Sharon & Holland Landing Lions.

It has also provided funding to the East Gwillimbury Synchronized Skating Team — Shiver and the Holland Landing Boy Scouts and supported activities such as hockey, soc-cer, gymnastics, swimming, summer camp, horse riding lessons, football, rugby, skating and others.

Workers trashing areaHave we forgotten where the

trash goes?There is so much garbage

around Yonge Street in Holland Landing where major construc-tion is happening. Coffee cups, food containers, chip bags, wrap-pers and even work boots are all over the ground, mostly in a gas station’s pump area. What is wrong with these workers?

Do they not have a garbage bag or know where to get one?

Obviously, it isn’t fair to say every single piece of trash is from them but it is fair to say that 90 per cent of it is. These are grown men and women.

Why is this happening? For shame.

Buried oil on site will still be problem

Re: Listen to Kerwin on fire hall suggestion, letter to the editor by Mary McKinnon, Sept. 10: bit.ly/1gfbsDT and Fire hall could be theatre building, Sept. 10 by John Dowson: bit.ly/1ijcNeI

The first thing to consider is that even if a new parking lot is built on this site, buried oil will still pose a future problem.

As the newspaper article (bit.ly/1hTRZcM) said, the problem will only escalate as time goes on and spread further to other areas. Spending millions of dol-lars to drain the land of oil will be a much better use for tax money, instead of wasting it on other unimportant things.

The second and last thing is that public parking that may be a bit farther away allows for more people to actually walk and get extra physical activity.

It also would be a good oppor-tunity to support the use of car-pooling or other public trans-portation that would both save parking space and be more eco-friendly.

Why is Kerwin voting for parking now?

Re: Listen to Kerwin on fire hall suggestion, letter to the edi-tor by Mary McKinnon, Sept. 10: bit.ly/1gfbsDT

McKinnon thinks Kerwin is correct about creating more park-ing in the Main Street area.

But if you look at the history of this issue, Kerwin has voted over the years to get rid of parking in the Main Street area.

Look at the configuration of the Main parking. Council has allowed patios on the street, it has spent infrastructure money to get rid of a great parking lot at the rear of Bank of Montreal and what used to be grocery store parking lot.

Business people tried to con-vince our town fathers that the project was not in the best inter-est of downtown business.

So, why now does Kerwin

Pay attention to local closed-door policy

It doesn’t happen all at once. It occurs over a very long period of time and, when it does get your attention, it’s usually too late. Cancer? Tax increases? No, it’s your democratic freedoms and your right to good govern-ment.

On Sept. 9, the Globe & Mail published an editorial about municipal government and closed-door policy.

It’s the same scenario we’ve all seen far too many times before. Local governments decide — many times in contravention of the law — to debate and make decisions on matters of which the public must be made aware.

Only when a disaster takes place or someone close to a particular situation profits from a secret decision and is subse-quently exposed, do taxpayers become aware. And by then, it’s too late.

Seldom does a week go by when there is not a story about local politicians exceeding their authority, reaping personal gain or egregiously breaking the law and violating the public trust. The frequency of these incidents is alarming and I fear will begin to dull the public’s interest in being made aware.

It’s up to local taxpayers and residents to stay attuned to what is going on in their communities and questioning – hard – the issues and decisions being made by their representatives.

It’s not disrespectful, distaste-ful or difficult. It’s your right and, at the risk of being somewhat overly dramatic, your duty.

Thanks, Express, for helping with 404 noise

Re: Thanks for a great 1st year in EG, Sept. 10: bit.ly/1K2CF7v

I wanted to take a moment to thank The Express, once again, for all of its help this year in help-ing me and, by extension, resi-dents of Sharon, to raise aware-ness about the Hwy. 404 noise issue.

I can say with absolute cer-tainty that had it not been for the newspaper’s help, we would not have been able to gather the support needed to fill the council chambers or get the hundreds of signatures required for our peti-tion.

So, thanks again. Well done.

s this federal election going to be remembered for questionable social media use by candidates?

It sure seems like it.There have been numerous

instances documented already in the campaign, and with more than four weeks remaining before voting day, it’s appears likely we’ve not heard the last of this issue.

York Region, sadly, has not escaped representation.

Last week, a report from the Broad-bent Institute-affiliated PressProgress revealed that King-Vaughan Conser-vative candidate Konstantin Toubis posted links to some juvenile mate-rial (listicles in Russian) on Facebook that contained vulgar references to women. That account has since been de-activated.

Toubis has acknowledged posting the links but stresses the content he posted the links to does not reflect his views.

Word of Toubis’ ill-considered online activity, at least some of which came while he was a declared can-didate, came after Thornhill Con-servative Peter Kent came under fire for tweeting incorrect information regarding the Syrian refugee situation.

Kent has deleted the tweet and says he made a mistake when he shared information that turned out to be false.

Early on in the campaign yorkre-gion.com reported Markham-Stouffville Conservative Paul Calan-dra’s blocking of a number of followers on Twitter. Calandra has explained his parameters for blocking accounts include people who don’t use their own names as their handles, those who make disparaging remarks about his family and those who use profan-ity.

If there is a common thread to it all, it’s that even in 2015, there appears to be a lack of a fundamental grasp of what

these online tools do and what their power is.

These instances, different in scope, are nevertheless part of a larger string of social media gaffes and controver-sies dogging parties and their can-didates in a number of parts of the country in the 2015 federal election campaign.

From an analytical standpoint, the challenge here is that it’s difficult to pinpoint any overarching theme to them all.

That’s because these controversies don’t seem to be restricted to any one party; the NDP and Liberals certainly have not escaped unscathed.

Some involve posts from a few years ago. Some involve more recent online activity.

We’re finding this all a bit of a puzzle, frankly.

If there is a common thread to it all, it’s that even in 2015, there appears to be a lack of a fundamental grasp of what these online tools do and what their power is.

Social media’s prevalence, its immediacy and its lasting power all mean that when we choose to com-municate on these channels, caution, clarity and context are essential.

We understand that there are pri-vate and public personas and adjust-ing to that reality may be part of a necessary evolution for some.

But if this kind of stuff is to ulti-mately change for the better, a more emphatic approach to proper social media use from the parties is an appropriate response.

Can this be done through a more thorough vetting process of candi-dates and their online history? Yes.

Can this be done through a more disciplined training program on the perils, best practices and proper eti-quette of social media? Yes.

Can this be done by having politi-cal parties establishing clear guide-lines when protocol breaches arise? That, too.

This would raise the bar for future candidates – not a bad thing when contemplating to whom we should entrust our votes.

It’s 2015. Times have indeed changed. But there’s some catching up to do.

ISSUE: Candidates’ social media miscues continue to come to light.

BOTTOM LINE: If this federal elec-tion is, indeed, to be remembered for unfortunate social media episodes,

the parties should show they can learn and improve from them.

The first day of school was filled with laughter, tears and … parking tickets?

Dropping off my daugh-ters today at their school, I was disheartened to see a Town of Aurora parking enforcement offi-cer ticketing cars parked on side streets surrounding the school.

For the safety of our children, I fully support enforcing park-ing rules. However, today would have been a good opportunity for officers to monitor and advise those drivers about where they can and cannot park in a school zone.

Ticketing during the 10-min-ute drop-off window, on the first day of school, was a money grab, pure and simple.

Of all the days to give har-ried parents and grandparents a break, it would have been the first day of school.

I hope the town, in good conscience, refuses payment on those parking infractions dated the morning of Sept. 8.

Middle class doesn’t need saving

As I watch the campaigns unfold, a few things grate at me. Most notable is the emphasis on saving the middle class. My Canada doesn’t have classes. My Canada is all inclusive. We are, after all, in this together, regard-less of how much money we have, where we live, or how we live or where we came from.

The middle class doesn’t need help. On that note, another issue is day care. I was raised without day care and we raised our chil-dren without day care. Having a family involves planning and some sense of reality. I am put right off that we, the taxpayer, will have to shoulder yet another level of taxation.

Health care: governments have been stripping it away, in layers, for quite a while now. Little attention is given to those who need it the most, at the time they need it the most. They have snuck up on us from behind and wasted the money on pet proj-ects.

Climate change is another one. Climate changes itself. One volcano eruption or forest fires in the west add more carbon to the atmosphere in one day, than automobiles have in the past 100 years. This is simply another way for government to add more taxes and gamble with our money.

Being a Canadian comes with a bit of responsibility. Get up off the couch and vote.

Let’s be a world leader in welcoming

new neighbours

y northern Ontario home town was whiter than the snow that cov-ered it most months.

There was one black family in our city of 120,000.

It was sadly a far cry from the multicultural Stouffville we know today.

Yet, unless you were part of the First Nations community that was in our backyard, you or your ancestors were from somewhere other than here. Most traced their roots back a generation or two to immigrant forefathers from Great Britain, Scan-dinavia or Europe.

But we all kind of looked the same, as if that mattered.

Until the 1970s, when Canada opened the door further, especially to folks from Pakistan. The whispers of fear were audible, even to a teen-ager.

It was needless. It was racist. The skilled newcomers fit right in,

opening businesses or working for others. They seamlessly became part of neighbourhoods and community groups.

Whatever trouble the rednecks anticipated never materialized.

But those little whispers of fear and intolerance are back.

The skilled newcomers fit right in, opening businesses or working for others. They seamlessly became part of

neighbourhoods and community groups.

As thousands flee the violence and terrorism in places like Syria, Canada is viewed as a logical desti-nation for some of the displaced.

Why not? We have a solid history of welcoming the world’s lost souls. We have multicultural cities from coast to coast. We are one of the best places in the world to live. Period.

Yet, some politicians seem hesi-tant. Some members of the public, for what it’s worth, talk about our national debt and other issues as reasons for not allowing the former Syrians in.

“If we can’t pay for our own ...” some misguided soul said in a per-son-on-the-street interview on TV.

Excuses, excuses.The Syrians may be the current

poster children in the world of inter-national refugee relief.

They are far from first.Kim Phuc has carried the title

since 1972.If you don’t know the name, you

know what she looked like.At age nine, she was photo-

graphed running for safety, along with other children, after being severely burned during the Vietnam War.

The image went viral before viral was a thing.

Phuc told her chilling story as the guest speaker at the Whitchurch-Stouffville Prayer Breakfast speaker in 2013.

She subsequently moved to Can-ada and created the not-for-profit Kim Foundation International to focus on world peace and healing.

In other words, the opposite of terrorism.

Let’s open the gates again, Can-ada.

Let’s be a leader in the fields of kindness and tolerance.

Let the immigration experts determine who should be admitted to our country.

Let the communities, like Whitchurch-Stouffville, fundraise and rally around our newest neigh-bours.

We were all there once.

Vandervecht to perform in Hoedown Showdown Top 10BY SIMON MARTIN [email protected]

There will be a little East Gwillimbury flavour at the Magna Hoedown Showdown Top 10 Friday night.

Sharon resident Lauren Vandervecht won over the hearts of the judges at the Aurora Ribfest last weekend with her rendition of White Liar by Miranda Lambert.

“I was the second last name called, so I had totally made up my mind that I wasn’t going to make the final,” she said.

The 20-year-old’s journey as a participant in the show-down started last year when she attended the event for the first time with her friends.

“I definitely got coaxed into it,” Vandervecht said. “My friends told me, ‘I totally have got to do this’. Two months ago or so, they convinced me to send in a submission video.

“Music has been a part of my life since I was young.”

Vandervecht grew up singing in a children’s choir and taught herself guitar in high school. She’s more familiar with taking the stage a Cedarview Com-munity Church in Newmarket, but country music is also right up her alley.

“When I was young, Shania Twain was the only thing I ever listened to,” she said.

Tomorrow, Vandervecht will be back on the stage trying for a spot in the top three and a chance to perform in front of 5,000 people at Saturday’s 27th annual Magna Wild Wild West Hoedown.

If selected as the winner, she would also win the grand prize valued at $15,000, includ-ing a studio recording package, a guitar with case and $1,000 cash.

Many of her friends came out to support her at Ribfest with signs that said Team Lau-ren and Vote for Lauren.

“My friends all came out and made signs and were scream-ing,” she said.

With so much on the line in the final showdown, Vander-vecht said she would be lying if she didn’t admit to some but-terflies going into the competi-tion.

“I’m definitely nervous for the last round,” she said. “There are so many great artists.”

Vandervecht doesn’t know yet what song she will sing on Friday night, so you’ll have to go to the event to find out.

“It will be the song that best suits my voice,” she said.

Taylor pushing Metrolinx for additional service to Newmarket

areas and will continue to be a significant area of growth over the next 25 years,” he said.

“There is an incredible amount of traffic that comes down from Stouffville and other communities to the north. I applaud you for bringing RER (express rail) right up to Unionville, that 15-minute service, but if we could extend it to Stouffville, at least during peak hours, that would, I think, relieve a lot of pressure on the traffic and road system. Currently, it’s (already) gridlock, it’s absolute gridlock.”

Newmarket Councillor John Taylor also raised concerns, which he shared with New-market council Monday night.

He is pushing for an increase in peak hour service to the town because 15-minute service will end in Aurora.

“It’ll be 30 minutes or less at peak hours into Newmarket. It was expressed strongly at that meeting that, given we’re a desig-nated growth centre, it would only be logical that the same level of service going to Aurora goes to Newmarket,” he said.

“They’re listening to us. But we’re still seeing a significantly increased level of ser-vice. Most people see this as a very positive direction.”

There are about 170 at-grade cross-ings throughout the Greater Toronto Area, including 60 in York Region and four in Newmarket.

Since ridership is expected to increase from 100,000 to 225,000 daily once the all-day service is introduced, there will be a need for about 60,000 additional parking spaces, Taylor said.

“We need to start to think how it’s going to be handled,” he said.

A potential future GO station at Mulock Drive will also be explored by Metrolinx, he said.

There are many rail crossings that already need repairs even without additional trains, including on Elgin Mills Road and 19th Avenue, regional transportation committee chairperson and Richmond Hill Councillor Vito Spatafora said.

“I can tell you, the screams we hear on the other end of the phone about people’s cars being damaged (are routine),” he said.

Metrolinx is reviewing potential upgrades

to at-grade railway crossings, chief planning officer Leslie Woo said.

“The preference, of course, is to eliminate as many at-grade crossings as possible, in particular where there is increased service,” she said.

“The frequency of the trains having to slow down at grade crossings, of course, is a challenge for us, so we’re trying to identify as many transportation efficiencies (as pos-sible).”

Meanwhile, Newmarket resident Bryan Allen told councillors he’s dreading the con-stant train whistles that will create noise pol-lution and diminish residents’ quality of life.

Several communities have put a stop to train whistles, something he’d like to see in York.

But complaining the burden would be on the region and municipalities to bankroll a portion of the research needed to justify stopping the whistles, Allen urged council-

lors to pressure Metrolinx to pick up the tab.Scarpitti agreed reducing the impact of

train whistles is a major priority for resi-dents.

“It sounds kind of cute, anti-whistling. It’s anything but (cute). These are loud, loud horns that would blast you, if you live beside them, out of your bed if you weren’t ready for it,” he said.

Eliminating train whistles is a safety con-cern, overseen by Transport Canada, James Purkis, Metrolinx’s executive vice-president of GO regional express rail, said.

With the increase in GO train service coming, Metrolinx is reviewing the whistle issue at the same time it ensures the highest standard of safety at rail crossings, he said.

Despite concerns with increased GO train service, Scarpitti praised the provincial government for investing billions of dollars in rapid transit improvements.

Pointers for adults returning to schoolToday’s seniors, particularly those who already have passed retirement age, may find themselves with many free hours to fill now that a job no longer accounts for most of their time. Returning to school may help seniors realize lifelong dreams of finishing a degree, exploring a hobby, getting educated to gain work in a new field, or just to fill some time in a produc-tive way.

It’s possible to return to school at any age. Adults looking at continuing edu-cation possibilities can heed these easy tips to make stepping into a classroom again successful.

Get some help.

Some time may have passed since you last toted textbooks or entered a class-room setting. Things have changed since you last were in school. Sit down with a guidance counsellor or a career advisor and go over your schooling goals to plot

out a degree map. This will help you de-termine which courses to take or what schools will best fit your needs.

ReseaRch schoolinG options.

Most adult learners prefer post-sec-ondary education that is affordable and close to home. Recognize that many schools now offer online learning, which may be ideal for you if you prefer to learn from the comfort of home. Decide what is important to you in a school, then nar-row down your prospects.

schedule a campus visit.

Tour the campus to get a feel for the school environment. Visit with someone in student services or attend an event for adult learners so you will know what the admissions process entails.

Get financial assistance.

Scholarships, grants and other finan-

cial aid are not just for young students. You may be eligible for financial help. Speak with a financial aid advisor to de-termine your eligibility for programs.

decide enRolment status.

Do you want to go to school full time or part time or do you want to take class-es here and there? Knowing in advance will help you develop the right sched-ule.

take a few RefResheR couRses.

Rather than delve into the tough stuff right away, enrol in a few basic classes to ease yourself back into the academic en-vironment. Then next semester you can increase the difficulty level and work-load.

Be pRepaRed foR homewoRk and

study. You may have grown accustomed to

being only accountable to yourself as of late. Once in school you will have assign-ments and tests. Plan for study time and develop a schedule to allow for school commitments.

take it slow.

There’s no race to the finish line. Go-

ing back to school is your decision, and you can go at your own pace.

Adult students return to the class-room for many reasons. Involve family in the decision to continue education and embrace the positive changes that are in store.
