Next bear in Newmarket will be handled differently, ministry saysBy Jeremy [email protected]
When a black bear was spotted running around backyards in Newmarket in June, the animal quickly became a sensation in local neighbourhoods and on the Internet.
That excitement quickly turned to anger the following day when the bear was shot and killed by York Regional Police , which led to questions about why a capture plan hadn’t been created, considering the amount of time the Ministry of Natural
Resources had to try to save the animal.The ministry was first called by police on
Sunday and then again at 6:20 a.m. the fol-lowing day.
Officers shot the bear just before 9 a.m., before anyone from the ministry arrived.
Now, two months after the killing caused an outpouring of vitriol and death threats against the authorities, the processes around how wild animals are dealt with when they wander into urban areas has been updated.
Although ministry spokesperson Jolanta
Kowalski refused to say any members of staff made any mistakes in dealing with the Newmarket bear situation, she did say the processes were reviewed.
“No, we don’t believe there were any mis-takes made,” she said, noting all established, approved district processes at the ministry were followed. “What I have said is maybe we could have arrived a little bit faster.”
Kowalski said one process alteration is that from now on, at least one staff member will attend the site immediately to advise officers, while others head to the district offices in Aurora to gather equipment.
She also noted staff will pack required equipment into ministry vehicles each Fri-day night, just in case an incident occurs over the weekend.
“These (changes) are being made because we had discussions on how can we do this even better,” she said. “I think this is a sign we look over our process.”
Kowalski also explained ministry staff will communicate with each other via cellphone rather than through phone systems with operators.
Meanwhile, York police Supt. Mark Brown said he believes had response times been better, the bear’s life might have been saved.
“(Had they arrived) earlier in the game, it might have made a difference,” he said. “One thing we have learned is, regrettably, no one is happy with dispatching the bear.”
After extensive discussions, he said the force will not be obtaining tranquilizers themselves, but did say police and ministry
staff will stay in touch via cellphone.He also noted it’s not always guaranteed
that a bear will survive even if it is tranquil-ized, trapped and relocated.
Despite four York Region incidents where bears were initially rescued during similar situations since 2005, many might have per-ished due to the ketamine in the tranquilizer or because of a failed effort to relocate them.
The news comes on the heels of a Free-dom of Information Act request by The Toronto Sun in which a number of the emails surrounding the bear’s death were released to the public.
In the emails, ministry staff are warned not to wear identification in the days follow-ing the incident in case protests erupted or threats were acted out.
The emails also discussed the police’s anger at how long it might take the ministry to arrive at the site.
“They didn’t like at all hearing that we need time to mobilize and get out there…” one email said, according to The Sun.
The documents further showed the min-istry was flooded with complaints after the incident, including 140 emails, 90 letters and 26 phone calls.
The word “killed” or “shot” was cut from letters and briefing notes and replaced with “dispatch”, it said.
Emails also show ministry officials met with police after the event and promised to speed up response times, which they said usually ranged between two and three hours.

When Anastassia Zakrjevskaia got the phone call informing her she’d won a $5,000 scholarship, the first thing she did — after a few jubilant leaps and screams — was call her mother.
It was a sign of just how far she has come; connecting with her mom hasn’t always been so easy for this King City resident.
In fact, it wasn’t so long ago that she was running from her family and butting heads with her mother — and the law.
Today, though, that is all in the past as the 22-year-old moves forward in life, one of three York Region youth awarded scholarships via 360°Kids.
The scholarships come courtesy of Benson Kearley, through Hockey Helps the Homeless, and Students for Global Issues from Aurora High School.
For the first time, 360°Kids youth shel-ter awarded two $5,000 scholarships and one $500 scholarship for post-secondary educa-tion and/or training programs.
Last month, the funds were presented to three clients of 360°Kids — from King City, Richmond Hill and Aurora — who are apply-ing for full-time post-secondary education this fall.
The goal, says executive director Michael Braithwaite, is to encourage and enable at-risk youth to strive for a better life.
HELPING ‘COURAGEOUS DECISION’
“In the face of adversity, we know it can be a challenge for youth to make the courageous decision and consistent steps to move forward in their lives in a positive way.”
Anastassia, (Ana for short), isn’t sure she would have had that courage, were it not for 360°kids.
She was a rebellious teen, hanging out with a troublesome crowd, skipping school, fight-ing at home. Her mother sent her to Russia for two months to try and straighten her out.
It didn’t work.When she was 14, she found herself in
trouble with the law. The terms of probation required her to do community service.
It was her good fortune, she says, that the volunteer work was at 360’s HomeBase, a youth drop-in on Yonge Street in Richmond Hill.
She remembers hearing the loud youthful
voices emanating from the old brick house, hidden behind trees, and wondering what she’d gotten herself into.
“It was intimidating. I thought, ‘what is this place?’”
She was surprised to discover the drop-in buzzing with activity and young people like herself taking advantage of courses such as Smart Serve, trades programs, bus tickets for job fairs and staff who listened without judg-ing.
When she completed her community hours, she decided to hang around, joining in on girls groups, participating in field trips to the ROM and baseball games.
She was still at loggerheads with her family, living with her boyfriend and barely making ends meet; HomeBase’s food pantry and used clothing depot offered welcome relief.
Gradually, the support there helped her understand she had a better future ahead and she enrolled in a practical nursing program at Seneca College and moved back home for good.
“I was really happy with what I was doing, and it was much more calm, and I was getting along with my siblings,” she says. “I think it took a break from home to see how much I need my family and my little sister looks up to me. I think what I went through helps her now.”
There was one more hurdle to cross, though; her brush with the law landed her
with a youth record, one that messed up her schooling. She couldn’t graduate without clini-cal hours and couldn’t get clinical hours in hospital with a record.
She nearly threw in the towel.“It was really hurtful. All my friends were
moving on and I was stuck there. It was ter-rible, really terrible.”
But she didn’t give up, instead worked sev-eral jobs while she waited for the five-year time period to elapse, to erase the record, and earned her practical nursing diploma with a nearly perfect 3.8 grade point average.
‘I’M SO GRATEFUL’
“I made it through and now it’s a complete 360. I’m so grateful to staff. They believed in me more than I believed in myself.”
Now she’s aiming higher. This fall she plans to pursue her RN degree at university and has been working four jobs to save for tuition.
The scholarship will go a long way to help her in her dream, she says.
“My mom’ said I’m doing really well and that’s so important to me — it means a lot, because there were times she really didn’t want to be my mom, she was having to go to court with me, pregnant, it was really bad.
“I realize now how stupid so many things were that I could have avoided.”
Her friend Cheyenne Charles joined her on the path and this month she was also awarded a $5,000 scholarship.
The Richmond Hill resident discovered HomeBase when she accompanied her friend who was having her eyebrows waxed by vol-unteers at the drop-in.
She admits it was a strange way to discover a venue that would turn her life around.
In Grade 10 at the time, Cheyenne found herself creating artwork while she waited for her friend and began forging friendships that last to this day.
“I didn’t think there were that many black people in Richmond Hill back then and there were a lot at HomeBase and they were doing good things — playing basketball, making meals, running girls’ groups… It was a place to go sit and chill.”
She spent hours in the downstairs music-recording studio and performing at the orga-nization’s fundraisers, eventually cooking meals for clients and running girls’ groups in self-esteem, exercise and body image.
Now she is in her final year of college, pur-suing a career as a child and youth worker and the scholarship will help her with her OSAP loans.
SHE HAS ‘BRIGHT FUTURE’
Hannah, from Aurora, is the third scholar-ship winner who describes her transformation from a depressed, lonely girl with no hope for life, to a happy, motivated and loved woman with dreams to fulfil, thanks to her time at HomeBase.
Hannah says her home was “toxic and ver-bally abusive… I lost any form of concentra-tion at school and just started skipping classes, then altogether gave up” when she discovered the youth drop-in.
Staff at 360 “asked what my dreams were and then showed me how I could make those dreams a reality.”
They helped her apply for student loans and move into a place of her own closer to Sheridan College to study human resources.
Hannah is the first student to receive a $500 award from the Students for Global Initiatives at Aurora High School.
The student group raised more than $2,000 to create several $500 scholarships to be offered in coming years to four youth in need.
“Hannah has a bright future ahead of her and we are honoured to be able to help and fund her education so she can further make a difference in her future,” said Jean Yong, the group’s co-chairperson.
Ana believes there are lessons here for everyone.
“Some choose down the wrong path, but you have to think twice about everything. You need to know who you are and where you stand and where you want to go in life.”
Young scholars who turned lives around earn awardsStudents from King,
Aurora, Richmond Hill appreciate funds

Local MPs staying mum on possible federal election callBy Chris [email protected]
Prime Minister Stephen Harper may be on the verge of an election call, but York Region MPs are staying coy on the matter.
“It’s up to the prime minister when he makes the decision to go see the Governor General; that is his decision and I am not party to that information,” Newmarket-Aurora Conservative MP Lois Brown said Thursday. “I have no idea. I’m continuing my work as member of Parliament, helping constituents resolve issues the to best of my ability. We’re just continuing our duties because that’s what I do.”
York-Simcoe Conservative MP Peter Van Loan couldn’t confirm if an election would be called this weekend.
“There’s only one guy who will decide that when the time comes,” he said. “What we do know is that there will be an election Oct. 19.”
When the campaign begins in earnest, the electorate will have the opportunity to make important decisions, Van Loan said.
“The campaign signals a start to having discussions and choices between a govern-ment that calls for lower taxes and an oppo-sition that wants higher taxes, an opposition that wants to roll back initiatives to tackle
crime and terrorism,” he said.The CBC, Toronto Star and other news
agencies are reporting the prime minister could visit Governor General David Johnston to ask for the dissolution of Parliament this weekend, a move that would officially kick off the federal election campaign.
An election is scheduled for Oct. 19 and could be the longest federal campaign in more than a century, according to The Star.
If the writ drops Sunday, the campaign would last nearly 80 days, more than twice the minimum 36 set in the Elections Act.
“All indications are there’s a very good chance (of an election call),” Newmarket-Aurora NDP candidate Yvonne Kelly, said. “It’s quite likely. You don’t want to waste a lot of time thinking about that. You just do the best you can to get ready for whenever it is called. This won’t change our game plan much. We’ve been out there since April, so we’re just going to keep going.”
She said the Conservatives are trying to drain the financial resources of other politi-cal parties, including the Liberals and NDP.
“If it’s a longer campaign, the voters will be impacted because people will start think-ing seriously about the election over the summer,” Kelly said. “It will have more of the feeling of an American campaign. As far as name recognition, branding and having that extra time, it could be an advantage. (Harp-er) wouldn’t do anything that wasn’t to his advantage, so I’m certain it’s because they have lots of money to spend and will start using it early, but money isn’t everything;
people are so ready for change.”Whenever the writ drops, Brown is ready.“I have a fabulous campaign team; they
are working hard,” she said. “They are ready to go at any time.
“Everybody has the same opportunities; there’s no disadvantage to anyone. We’ve known for four years when the next election was taking place.”
Brown plans to door knock in the riding many evenings throughout the summer, regardless of the election call, in an effort to communicate with residents.
Liberal Kyle Peterson, who lost to Brown in 2011, hopes to make gains in the riding.
“We’re ready; We’ve been preparing… We’ve got dozens of volunteers and have been knocking on doors,” he said. “We take every opponent very seriously. There’s going to be five or six competent people running in Newmarket-Aurora, so we’re going to run the best campaign we can. After a decade of Harper, people are starting to realize it’s time for new leadership and a new plan.
“The main reason he’s calling it early is to silence the many Canadian organiza-tions that are opposed to him. The early writ will limit third-party advertising. He’s wor-ried about the types of commercials you’re already starting to see that are calling into question his competence as prime minister.”
Van Loan said he and colleagues have been preparing for the autumn vote. A lengthy campaign isn’t worrisome, he said.
York-Simcoe Liberal candidate Shaun Tanaka did not respond by press time.

Some Warden residents not happy with cyclists
Re: Warden Avenue to get further upgrades, July 23.
I’ve lived on Warden since it was a dirt road.
I think what upset me the most about the story was the fact such a large percentage of the article included the thoughts and com-ments of cyclist Andrew Darke.
I can’t speak for everyone who lives on Warden, but I do know many residents are not at all happy with the bicycle traffic on our street.
Last weekend, I noticed a couple of cyclists standing still in the middle of the northbound lane taking photographs.
I went back later to find that they were taking photos of a sign that one of my neigh-bours posted that stated, “Construction for 9 weeks. Hurray, no cyclists. You are a pain and have no rules.”
Take a drive up Warden and see for your-self.
I think a large percentage of the cyclists on Warden are extremely ignorant and do whatever they can to annoy vehicle traffic
GET CONNECTEDq HAVE YOUR SAY Send your letter to the
editor to Ted McFadden, [email protected] or Tracy Kibble, [email protected]
and residents, which is why some of us feel this way.
I have yet to see a single cyclist use the designated bike lanes that were built at the expense of taxpayers on Woodbine.
For the most part, cyclists have a very bad reputation with the residents in my area. I guess the many incidents I’ve had with them is a picture into why they are not liked.
I’ve approached many of them in my automobiles over the years. Several times I have honked my horn as I approach to let them know I am coming and have been greeted with a middle finger or coarse lan-guage.
Yes, Darke is disappointed resurfacing doesn’t include bike lanes on the road. Maybe I am disappointed that a skeet shooting club hasn’t set up shop in front of his house.

Extreme weather hits our vulnerableSUNDAY FORUM
ust off a bustling urban street, in the heart of a mid-dle class Canadian commu-nity, I came upon an elderly man wilting in the low lying
shrubs, mere feet from heavy traf-fic and visibility.
He appeared unconscious, perhaps brought on by the sear-ing summer temperatures that had pushed the mercury above 30 Celsius. Judging by his appearance and nearby possessions, I made the assumption he was homeless.
As I waited for emergency per-sonnel to be dispatched, I did my best to describe his appearance and condition, which seemed dire. As we know, being homeless presents many socioeconomic hardships.
Homelessness also increases vulnerability to extreme heat events that can exacerbate health issues brought on by exposure, including cardiac events, dehydra-tion and respiratory illnesses.
Most often, Canadians tend to think of the impact of cold weath-er in our cities during the winter months when vulnerable persons have too often frozen to death. However, heat is also a killer and cities need to be better prepared to address the risks associated with extreme weather events — not only today, but also as our climate changes and brings forth more volatile weather patterns.
This past winter several tragic events occurred in Toronto where deaths related to cold weather hit the homeless community hard.
During that same frigid period, on the other side of the world, the Australian city of Melbourne was grappling with a heat wave.
The city issued a series of measures to support its local vul-nerable population with cooling stations.
In addition, Melbourne also adopted a strategy to deal with increasing extreme weather.
Such government strategies will become even more important as climate volatility is expected to worsen, especially with respect to the frequency and duration of days exceeding 30 degrees.
To put this in perspective, Envi-ronment Canada defines a heat wave in Ontario as three consecu-tive days of 32 degrees along with
high humidity.This past May saw parts of
India hit temperatures of 48 Cel-sius, resulting in an estimated 2,000 deaths, many among the poor and homeless. Closer to home, the Chicago extreme heat of July 1995 resulted in an estimated 700 heat-related deaths. The spike in mortalities took place during a span of about 10 days when tem-peratures soared past 40 Celsius.
The authors of an article in The New England Journal of Medicine documenting the Chicago tragedy cited social isolation, pre-existing medical conditions, poverty and living conditions as among the key predictors of mortality for such occurrences.
Not surprisingly, they conclude that the provision of better hous-ing, frequent interactions with social services and simple access to air conditioning as critical for survival.
There are no shortages of examples of how extreme weather events have impacted vulnerable populations on a global scale. However, what is now emerging is a series of even more dire predic-tions as a result of modelling long-term trends in weather.
In a recent article in Nature Cli-mate Change, author Bryan Jones and colleagues examined long-term weather predictions in the United States. What they contend is intensity of days in excess of 35 Celsius will increase dramatically over the coming decades.
The outcome could prove dev-astating if climate adaptation strat-egies are not created to address extreme heat events, especially for vulnerable populations.

Newmarket auto parts firm receives funding boost from federal governmentBY CHRIS [email protected]
Palcam Technologies believes it is on the verge of a revolutionary breakthrough in automotive parts manufacturing.
The Newmarket company is developing new advancements that will improve the effectiveness and reliability of aluminum die casting — something that could have sig-nificant implications on the automotive and aerospace industries, among other sectors.
The advancements will utilize 3D printing technology to create lighter vehicle compo-nent designs and improved fuel efficiency, ultimately benefitting the environment.
“We’re a company that’s recognized as an innovator within the industry,” Palcam CEO Walter Palisca said. “We’re delivering better value propositions and we’re doing it through investing in good technology. It means making more aluminum parts in cars, making cars lighter, faster and more efficient to use. You’re using less energy to make the parts.
“We’re going to look back at this in five years and recognize this was the turning point in the industry.”
Now, Palcam has the backing of the feder-al government, which will provide $1.8-mil-
lion in funding for the company through the Automotive Supplier Innovation Program. The money will be used to create 100 jobs. It also leverages a $3.6-million investment by Palcam.
“They don’t just wait for somebody to tell them what to build; they do the research and development that takes the pole posi-tion among their competitors,” Newmarket-Aurora MP Lois Brown said, during the funding announcement at Palcam’s Rin-gwell Drive plant Friday. “Parts produced in Canada sell throughout North America, to brand name manufacturers. It is a vital part of the DNA of Canada’s wider manufacturing industry and the entire economy. It makes sense that our government would support new, cutting-edge technologies from the lab to the market.”
ASIP was established through the gov-ernment’s Economic Action Plan 2015 and will provide $100 million over five years. It was created to give automotive suppliers an edge through the development of innovative products and processes, Brown said.
“This is the right kind of support for the industry as it gears up to meet the new opportunities presented by the coming gen-eration of cars that will be more fuel-efficient (and) advanced,” Brown said. “We are dedi-cated to helping industry right now.”
Canada’s automotive parts sector contrib-utes $8 billion to the country’s GDP, she said.

Beacon Hall Golf Club HEAD PRO: Phil Hardy, director of golfSTATUS: PrivateSIGNATURE HOLE: Cornered into choosing one from the Bob Cupp-designed 18-hole layout, Phil Hardy offers up No. 16, a tough par-three test.“It’s an awesome, breathtaking par three,” said Beacon Hall’s director of golf, almost apologetically, knowing many people have other favourites on the 200-acre parcel of land that winds through the for-mer Toronto and North York Hunt Club property.“I’ve had people come off the course and pick from any one of 13 holes. It’s staggering how many are picked.”Honorable mention: No. 10At 500 yards, downhill and playing to a slight right-hand bend, it’s a visually appealing hole. Big hitters may challenge for the green in two shots. Most players will be happy to play up for a shorter approach to a large green tucked snugly behind a pond.TROUBLE AWAITS: EverywhereKeep it straight.For the Carolinas-style front nine, tree-lined fair-ways encourage a straight shooter.
A generous supply of fescue across the Scottish-style back nine gobbles up strays. Elevation and prevailing wins play more of a role on the back nine, too.Honorable mention: No. 4A par-5 playing to 521 yards, it’s the No. 1 handi-cap hole on the course, playing uphill.“This is where the course begins,” said Hardy, who has been at Beacon Hall since just before the facility opened in 1988.CURSE OF THE COURSE: No. 15A good round can start to fall apart over the 512 yards of this par-5, left dogleg beast, the start to a challenging home stretch.“You have a good round going then all of a sudden you have these four holes staring you in the face,” said Hardy. “It’s a really tough finish.”It’s risk-reward off the tee. Choose to challenge your nerve and prevailing breezes and carry a wasteland area, or play it safe and opt for a com-fortable fairway landing and good look in at the green.GIMME A LIFE MEMBERSHIP: The variety of holes is a huge interest point, as is the contrast between the nines.“To me it resonates (that) every hole is a brand
new experience and every one of them is challeng-ing,” said Hardy. “The transition from front to back, though, is really our best characteristic.”CLUB-TOSSING TIME: It’s a tough round to hold together for the entire 18 holes.“You become too aware of what is going on and it is hard guarding it for the final four holes,” said Hardy. “Sometimes you tense up and lose sight of what you are doing.”THE PRO’S VIEW: “It’s a challenge every time you play it,” said Hardy. “I think when you design a course, it should be in your mind to have hard pars and easy bogeys. I think our tee shots are reason-ably fair, but you have to golf the ball all the way into the hole. It’s a course that will hurt you, not kill you.”GENERAL INFO: The beautiful piece of land is lush as it sprawls over hills and forest of the Oak Ridges Moraine … Established to serve as an alterna-tive in the private course community, Beacon Hall seems to have succeeded, as its perennial ranking within the top 10 courses in Canada suggests … Six sets of tees plays play from 5,341 to 7,000 yards. LOCATION: 400 Beacon Hall Drive, Aurora. Off Bayview Avenue, between Vandorf Sideroad and Bloomington Road … Website: beaconhall.com … Tel: 905-841-9070.

van GENNIP, Johannes Petrus (February 27, 1926 - July 29, 2015)We are saddened to announce the passing of Jo at the Southlake Regional Health Centre on Tuesday, at the age of 89 years. Pa/papa was the loving father of Hans and Cathy van Gennip, Marion and Wilf Sarre, Robert and Karen deWeerd. Opa/ Opa Jo will be fondly remembered by his five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Predeceased by his wife Gisela (Bihl), his brother Jean Marie and sister-in-law Olga M. (van’t Hoenderdaal), father Cornelius Adrianus, mother Maria G.H. (Beenkens) all from The Netherlands. John, as he was known by his many friends, emigrated from The Netherlands in 1957; he was a Tool and Die Maker and worked for many years at the Bottling Development site for Seagrams in Waterloo. He loved life to the fullest, cottaging with his many friends in Duparquet; Florida and Lake Huron; he played golf, fished and hunted. His hobbies included bowling, playing guitar and the banjo but his greatest passion without a doubt was his painting. Family and friends will be received at the Memory Gardens Funeral Home, 2723 Victoria St. N., Breslau (Kitchener) on Wednesday, August 5, 2015 from 9:30-11:00 a.m. A memorial service is to be held in the Chapel at 11:00 a.m. followed by a reception. A special thanks to the many caregivers at the Renessa Retirement Home in Newmarket. They not only provided exceptional care; but, did so with dignity, professionalism and genuine heartfelt compassion. An additional thanks to both the residents and the staff who made Jo feel that Renessa was his home. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Autism Ontario Simcoe Chapter or a charity of your choice. www.memorycemetery.ca.
MacDONALD, Donald (Jack) November 9,1934 - July 28, 2015

The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to Don’s home care team, Romula, Connie, RN Melissa and Dr. Mulhern and the Doctors, Nurses and Staff at Southlake cancer and palliative care team. We would also like to thank Pastor Terry Gibson for his many visits. Don will be forever missed and remembered for his love, friendship, strength and courage by his family and friends.
