Could Ty have been saved? BY JEREMY [email protected]
e will never know when Ty Wint took his last breath, but the details surrounding the toddler’s painful
death have raised troubling questions about his father, Mario Wint’s, actions in the lead-up to his son’s death and whether the boy could have been saved.
Wint, 30, from Newmarket, pled guilty April 14 to manslaughter, admitting he killed the boy by repeat-edly striking him with force in the abdomen Jan. 22, 2015.
New information surrounding the two-year-old’s death was released to yorkregion.com Wednesday by the Newmarket court showing just
how hard the tiny boy was punched or kicked by his father, also raising debate about just how long he had been dead prior to authorities being notified.
Wint’s day began when he walked his two sons, Noah, 5, and Ty to the older sibling’s school, Maple Leaf Public School, on the same street where Wint lived, Longford Drive, according to the agreed statement of facts.

ike countless North Americans, Brian Walker enjoys his daily run on the track at a nearby school.
He would prefer to not run afoul of the law by doing so.
Little did the Newmarket resi-dent realize when he was asked to leave the track by a school staff member at Huron Heights Sec-ondary School April 18 that he was trespassing.
It was approximately 5:20 p.m. when Walker was approached by a Huron Heights representative and asked to leave the track on which he has run for nearly 15 years.
He obliged, but with questions.“As a taxpayer and believer
in staying fit… it’s a track,” said Walker, who fired off messages to York Region District School Board trustee Martin Van Beek and Mayor Tony Van Bynen to express his concerns. “I’m not sure why the mayor and lawyers have to be involved.

Job growth lower in Newmarket than GTA, York Region
BY CHRIS [email protected]
ewmarket lagged behind the rest of the Greater Toronto Area in job growth last year.
From mid-2014 to mid-2015, Newmarket’s employment growth was 1.5 per cent, compared to 4.1 in the GTA and 2.4 in York Region, according to a report released by the town last month. However, the town’s growth was above the Canadian (1.1 per cent) and Ontario (1.2) numbers, and falls roughly in the middle of the pack when compared to other lower tier York municipalities.
“The GTA stats have the halo effect of the Toronto market,” Mayor Tony Van Bynen said. “It’s awfully difficult to tell one com-
munity apart from another. The good news for us is that we’ve got a stable employment environ-ment and we’re going through a transition and positioning our-selves for the future. I’m still very optimistic about the long-term job prospects in Newmarket. We’re focused very much on the types of jobs that come available in the future.”
Newmarket is focusing on the creation of a high-speed broad-band Internet corridor along the Main Street, Davis Drive, Leslie Street and Harry Walker Parkway

Town pushes province on OMB reform
BY CHRIS SIMON TERESA LATCHFORD
[email protected] [email protected]
date has been set for the much-anticipated sum-mit on Ontario Munici-pal Board reform — an initiative spearheaded
by several northern York Region councillors.
Elected officials from munici-palities across the province will gather at the Markham Civic Centre for the all-day event May 14.
Aurora councillors Michael Thompson and Tom Mrakas and Newmarket Councillor Christina Bisanz are key organizers.
The summit will attempt to develop a consensus position on OMB reform. That position will then be documented in a report and presented to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Bisanz said.
“We’ve been working hard to put together an agenda of speak-ers, panels and working groups,” she said. “It’ll be a gathering of elected officials from the Golden Horseshoe area who all have one common objective in mind: the need for significant and substantial reform for the OMB. We’re not sug-gesting the OMB does not have its purpose.”
The day will begin with a panel discussion involving experts on the issues and challenges currently being faced by municipalities when it comes to the OMB. Following the discussion, attendees will break off into groups to brainstorm solutions to the issues deemed most impor-

areas. And the town is expected to unveil a targeted marketing plan for Davis by the end of May. Both initia-tives should help create jobs in the coming years, he said.
The town has indicated a broad-band corridor could attract about 17 businesses and 205 direct jobs. An additional 126 indirect jobs may also be generated.
Newmarket’s jobs report is based on an industry survey completed by the region. The survey looks at busi-nesses within each of the region’s nine municipalities.
During the 2014-2015 fiscal year, the number of jobs in town increased from 38,774 to 39,344. Health and social services, largely driven by Southlake Regional Health Centre, remains the largest employ-ment sector in town. In total, 18.2 per cent (7,170 employees) work in the health sector, while 17.4 per cent (6,854 employees) are in retail. The business services sector accounts for 12.7 per cent of the Newmarket workforce.
Interestingly, across the region, manufacturing (15 per cent), retail (12), professional, scientific and technical services (10) and whole-sale trade and construction (tied at eight each) are the top employment sectors.
Southlake chief human resources officer Sandra Smith isn’t surprised by the hospital’s role in the local job market.
“We are proud to be able to offer meaningful, challenging jobs, but beyond that we want to create opportunities for long-term sustain-able employment,” she said.
Meanwhile, the CreateIT Now innovation centre at Southlake is helping budding youth grow their businesses locally, she said.
Over the past decade, the health and business services sectors have powered the growth of high-value jobs in Newmarket, town economic development officer Chris Kallio said in the report to council.
Employment numbers peaked at about 40,000 in town prior to the 2008-2009 economic slowdown. While that number has now dipped, Newmarket still maintains one of the highest live/work ratios (46 per cent) in the region.
“We also strive to achieve a healthy 2:1 population to employ-ment ratio (when home-based employment is included) in the total employment figures,” Kallio said.
Perhaps the biggest surprise in the town report is the success of Newmarket’s manufacturing indus-try, which was hit hard — along with the rest of Ontario — during the economic downturn. However, the industry is rebounding. Over the past five years, the number of manufacturing jobs in Newmarket increased 11 per cent, meaning 5,100 employees worked in the sector last year. Manufacturing accounts for 13 per cent of town employment.
However, Van Bynen admits manufacturing won’t have a lot of room for expansion in the coming years. “The reality is, Newmarket doesn’t have an awful lot of land available for the manufacturing type of businesses and when you take a look at the opportunities, that’s going to be along the Yonge Street and Davis Drive areas,” he said. “You can’t build stamping plants in three-storey buildings. We need to pursue the kind of jobs that are accommo-dated in an office environment.”
The region survey is helpful to town staff, which uses the docu-ment to develop long-term market-ing strategies, Kallio said.
“Newmarket economic develop-ment uses the survey results for a wide variety of purposes, including strategic planning, economic and employment trend analysis and as background for marketing initia-tives/promotion of the community,” he said.

Get ready, get set ... lace up for Easter Seals runBY CHRIS [email protected]
evin Collins can still remember attending the first Persechini Easter Seals Run/Walk-athon in Newmarket.
As a 12-year-old provincial Eas-ter Seals ambassador — the title was referred to as ‘Timmy’ back then — during the run’s inaugural edition, he still fondly recalls the small band of loyal supporters that helped founder Joe Persechini get the run off the ground. Many are still fundraising and doing what-ever they can to help the event suc-ceed, even as the walkathon is set to turn 40 this year. Thinking back, he notes the posters that were plas-tered around town and the support the event received from emergency services personnel and notable politicians.
“Every good event requires the proper seeds to be planted,” Collins said, during the launch of this year’s run, which was held at Upper Canada Mall’s centre court last week. “You’ve witnessed the passion Joe brings to everything he does. It’s an unbelievable inspira-tion to be able to work and partner with people like Joe. He’s made this event a 40-year success; he was the one literally going door-to-door to contacts and making sure they were helping him out again. The support is absolutely incredible. After my wife and I were married, we actually moved to Newmarket and part of it was because of what we witnessed here in our time coming to visit and being part of the run. We started to fall in love with the community and people. They support each other.”
Collins grew up in Orillia and began his association with Easter Seals as a young child, after being diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Local affiliated service clubs pro-vided walking apparatuses and other support. He worked for the charity for a few years and is now the executive director of Friends of We Care, which raises money
to help send Easter Seals kids to camp.
Centre court was brightly lit and there were tables with colourful tablecloths setup throughout and the area was roped off for invited guests.
The annual event will take place May 29 at Newmarket Riverwalk Commons, 200 Doug Duncan Dr. It features five and 10-kilometre runs, a five-km family walk and a one-km kids walk.
Since its inception in 1976, the event has raised more than $3 million for Easter Seals Ontario and money has benefitted local children.
The event was founded by Persechini, currently an East Gwil-limbury councillor, and his now late wife, Rosalia, and originally consisted of 37 participants. It is York Region’s largest fundraiser for children and youths with physi-cal disabilities. More than 1,000 participants are expected to attend this year.
It will also feature a retro run-ning outfit contest. The runner with the best retro suit will win $100.
“What happened on the last Sunday in May of 1976?” Perse-chini said. “Inspired by Whipper Billy Watson, the Persechini Easter Seals Run/Walkathon was born. Back then, runners got water from old sawn-in-half wine barrels, which were filled with water by the fire department. Volunteers had to climb trees to hang signs. From humble beginnings, the event grew.”
Over the years, the event has received support from celebrities, including Royal Canadian Air Farce comedians Roger Abbott and Don Ferguson, media personalities such as Erin Davis and John Oakley and former prime minister Jean Chre-tien. Glass Tiger also performed two benefit concerts at the Ray
Twinney Recreation Complex.The mall became a major spon-
sor when the start and finish lines were moved to the site in 1990.
“The 1990s were a special time for the event, with a lot of com-munity support, especially local schools and three to four thousand participants,” Persechini said. “Forty years has come and gone quickly and I’m so happy the run/walkathon is still important to the community.
In the lead up to the run, the mall will host a charity midway from May 11 to 15, he said.
Organizers want participants to sign up as soon as possible, in order to maximize their fundrais-ing efforts.
“It’s a chance to give back,” this year’s ambassador, 12-year-old Keirra MacLeod, said. “Easter Seals has given so many things to fami-lies of disabled kids like me.”
MacLeod, a Trenton resident,
was born with cerebral palsy and uses a walker and wheelchair. She has difficulty with vision and using fine motor and development skills. She’s using her ambassador posi-tion to let people know that physi-cally disabled children are just like all other kids.

A4 The Era, Thursday, April 28, 2016
The Town of Newmarket will be starting our spring cleaning of the water main system on Thursday, April 28, and will be ongoingthroughout the summer. A variety of techniques – including water main swabbing – will be used to do a thorough cleaning of severalof the water mains that, over time, see a build-up of iron.
Water main swabbing involves inserting a foam sponge – or 'swab' – into the water main through a fire hydrant at one end of a street.The diameter of the swab is slightly larger than the water main, and it is pushed along through the water main using water pressure. Asit passes through, the swab clears any iron that has built up inside the water main, and is pushed up a fire hydrant at the other end ofthe street.
We’ll do our best to reduce impacts to Newmarket residents and businesses. However, during the cleaning process, your usage maybe impacted for a short period of time, and you may notice periodic discolouration of your water. Although our Public Works Servicesdepartment will be working hard to reduce the occurrence of discolouration, it is simply the result of iron in the water and it is still safeto drink and use. Residents in the affected households will be notified at least 24 hours in advance that water main cleaning will betaking place on their street, and will be provided with information on what to do while they wait for the cleaning to be finished.
To speak with someone about your water and what to do if you experience any issues, call the Town of Newmarket at 905-895-5193.

sidewalks and pavement takes a toll on his body.
Walker was disappointed by Van Beek’s written response, which highlighted liability issues as a concern for the board.
Walker was not any more satisfied after speaking with Huron Heights’ principal Mire-lla Sanwalka.
“She didn’t cover liability as much as they don’t want anyone on the grass,” said Walker. “If the grass is an issue, why not just put up a sign that says, ‘Stay off the grass?’ I totally understand why they would want to protect the field when it is vulnerable.”
A general lack of physical activity is a hot-button topic aimed at youths and adults alike. Walker wonders about the logic keep-ing people off school properties funded by taxpayers, who, he argues, should have a right to the facilities that are built for the spe-cific purpose of running and other athletic activities.
In the meantime, Walker has been using a treadmill in his home. With warmer weather arriving, however, he wants to run outside.
“I don’t care about the field or a team on the field,” said Walker. “I just want to go for a run. What’s so difficult?”
Municipalities generally have little say over the facilities attached to schools. School boards usually own the lands and treat them as private property.
Community groups routinely rent the fields from the school boards to complement the municipally operated surfaces they use during their seasons for practices and games.
When school is in, fields are considered instructional tools and off limits to the public on weekdays until 6 p.m.
Walker said he is sensitive to the needs of the school and would avoid using the track during school hours and events.
The Huron Heights complex is enclosed
by a chain-link fence, locked at this time of year to protect the surface from unauthor-ized users until it dries thoroughly enough for proper usage.
With temperatures warming, facilities will soon be in demand by user groups and citi-zens alike. However, wet grass surfaces that have yet to dry out are at risk.
“At some of our secondary school sites, premier fields are fenced in because we have so much money invested in them,” said Jerry Stoanji, senior manager of plant services for YRDSB. “If we fence around the site, some-times that will encompass a track, too.”
School boards work in conjunction with all nine York Region municipalities regarding field rentals and use by community groups and individuals.
The general standard for non-school groups to begin using fields in spring is the second Saturday in May. Schools moni-tor and assess conditions for earlier use for school activities, such as physical education classes or team tryouts and games.
Still, there is no set guideline across the region for unlocking the gates and permit-ting community use. Inevitably, some will be open earlier than others.
“The board is so large geographically and different in terms of factors like topography and soils,” said Stoanji. “Fields all drain dif-ferently. We’re a little more careful in spring and fall when fields are a little wet and in unsafe conditions.”
Policing the use of fields is next to impos-sible for school boards.
“Most fields are accessible,” said Stoanji. “If a team shows up on a Saturday afternoon, there’s not much we can do about it.”

Clock tower proposal referred to public meeting
Council referred the clock tower issue to a public meeting.
However, during a closed door session Monday evening, it also passed a recommen-dation confirming it will not sell or transfer land related to the clock tower development, until the project has “significantly advanced” and is approved by the municipality.
The portion of land in question is at the northeast corner of Market Square. It’s a critical component of the project — the developer, Forrest Group, needs access to the space to construct underground tenant and visitor parking.
“For some time, there’s been public rec-ognition the clock tower development may require small portions of town-owned land, either above or below ground,” Regional Councillor John Taylor said.
“This is not like most planning applica-tions. Because we have some ownership of land that may be required for development that, in essence, gives us a form of potential
veto. We’re protecting that right and option.” The motion also protects the town’s inter-
ests, in case the clock tower property is sold prior to redevelopment.
Forrest recently submitted an amended application for the site, which calls for the construction of a 165-unit, seven-storey apartment complex near the Main and Park Avenue intersection. If the proposal were constructed as presented, it would include five ground floor retail commercial units fronting Main.
The proposal is one of the town’s most controversial redevelopment projects and it has already drawn the ire of one of the Main Street District Business Improvement Area’s board of management, which passed a reso-lution opposing the redevelopment plans late last year.
Newmarket’s heritage advisory commit-tee also asked council to deny the applica-tion, but there is a new group calling for its approval.

Wynne leads in incompetency
I want to congratulate Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne on heading what must surely be the most incompetent govern-ment in the western world when it comes to energy policy and hydro.
I just heard hydro rates are, again, about to rise. The new kw/h rates (low, mid, high) will become $0.087, $0.13, and $0.18 May 1.
Lest you think that is not so bad, this is the cost only of the generation.
To these numbers must be added the transmission and dis-tribution charges, line loss charg-es, HST and other fees, all of which jack up the bill for hydro. These “added charges” mean that the actual cost of electricity deliv-ered to your door is about 2.2 times the cost the government likes to claim is your “rate”.
People in Ontario are actu-ally paying $0.19, $0.26, and an astounding $0.396 for peak times. A component of this out-rage is wind and solar for which Ontario happily pays two times to 3.5 times world rates to the lucky feed in tariff (FIT) lottery winners.
We must not forget that Ontario also pays independent generators to not generate power at times when the transmission lines are at capacity.
Ontario sells surplus power to the United States at less than the cost of generation. Do the U.S. recipients of this Ontario tax-payer largess thank the Canadian turkeys?
I certainly hope so. The Ontar-io auditor general late last fall blasted the Wynne government for its ongoing mismanagement of hydro. Did anyone notice? Do Ontario citizens care?
I came upon a 2010 hydro bill for my home that was before the time of day fees were introduced.
My cost then, all fees and taxes included, was $0.125 kw/h delivered to my home. In five short years, my hydro costs have risen 317 per cent. Alas, none of my retirement investments have done this well.
To paraphrase Ross Perot — the American businessman who ran for the U.S. presidency as an independent candidate in 1992 and 1996 —“hear that sucking sound? It’s jobs leaving (Ontario) for other places”.
Our hydro rates are a real job killer for any industry that needs power.
May 1, the date we get our new usurious rates up from our old usurious rates, is also known as Mayday.
Mayday is a call for emer-gency help when circumstances are dire.
Wynne’s grossly incompetent energy mismanagement leaves me no choice. Mayday! Mayday!

Everyone has right to use public tracks
Seniors, get your brooms ready to clean up
Finally, the majority of Cana-dian voters are fed up with the previous government’s arro-gance and closed-door policies and swept them out the door.
Enter the new kid (Prime Minister Justin Trudeau) and, with it, change from the old Conservative guard.
Trouble is, Trudeau brings with him ideas that are creating a major deficit that will mean a financial crisis for the country.
Maybe Canadian politicians should hurry off to a luxury retreat in Alberta to discuss this problem. Are you kidding me? It seems like the sense of entitle-ment is contagious in Ottawa.
Fellow seniors, get the broom ready.

Trail users should avoid railway tracks
The April 21 weekend was gorgeous. People were out in droves to enjoy the outdoors. What surprised us was the num-ber of people walking and riding down the Nokiidaa Trail that wanted a better view of the con-struction of the 2nd Concession bridge over the Holland River.
They reached the end of the trail where it is closed only to walk on the train tracks to get a better view of the construc-tion taking place. We would like to caution anyone thinking of doing this. Normally, the train does not run weekends.
There are times when they do training runs or trains are run-ning for special events. Come the summer time, they will be running the trains again.
Since there is a blind curve where trains approach 2nd Con-cession, there will be minimal time for anyone to react when a train does come through the area. Think twice before you decide to walk on the tracks or at least consider the engineer when he realizes the train will not stop in time.

ewmarket resident Brian Walker was running on the track at Huron Heights Secondary School last week, as he
had done regularly for the past 15 years, when he was approached by a school representative and asked to leave.
It’s unclear the specific reason for the request — was it because the field portion of the area wasn’t ready for use or was it because the track was considered private property?
Walker obliged the request and left without pressing the matter, so the specifics may never be discovered.
It makes no sense to leave tracks and fields empty when the focus should be on trying
to get people more active.
Regardless, the request was unnec-essary and unwarranted.
It’s understandable that officials don’t want anyone on the field this early in the season. It’s not uncom-mon for fields to be off limits until the ground dries out enough to ensure the field will hold up for the entire season.
But Walker wasn’t using the field. He was using the track - the already dry and ready-for-use track.
As for the private property argu-ment, that would be understandable if he was there during regular school hours, but it was 5:20 p.m., so he wasn’t impeding any school-sanc-tioned student activities.
The fact of the matter is when stu-dents are using the field, it should be considered off limits to the public.
But when all of the school buses are gone and the students have left for the day, there’s no reason com-munity residents — who pay for these facilities through their education taxes — shouldn’t be permitted to make use of these outdoor facilities.
It makes no sense to leave tracks and fields empty when the focus should be on trying to get people more active.
We should be going out of our way to encourage the proper use of our facilities at all times of the day.

Person who smashed car should own up
According to the Internet, one definition of the honour or honesty system is “a system of conduct in which participants are trusted not to take unfair advantage of others.” On anoth-er website, the definition was worded as “an arrangement by which persons are trusted to act honestly even though persons might obtain a benefit from act-ing dishonestly.”
On April 7, someone took an unfair advantage of our family and obtained a benefit by act-ing dishonestly. One member of my family had an appointment at Southlake Regional Health Centre.
While we were in the hospi-tal between 2:25 and 4:25 p.m., someone hit the front fender of our 2015 white Santa Fe on the passenger side trying to squeeze by our car near the Roxborough Road east entrance of the park-ing lot. After $3,000 damage, which was bad enough, the per-son in a black or charcoal col-ored vehicle cowardly took off.
This is only one example of our society’s new values: “We are entitled to do what we want; just don’t get caught! No one will know!”
This is sad and will eventu-ally lead to chaos, mayhem and pandemonium.
Unfortunately, this type of person is teaching the younger generation by example to do the same.
Hopefully, there are very few people in our region that have such disrespect for others and their property.
Maybe, this time, the person will have a conscience and do the honest thing and take own-ership for his/her actions.

News or ads in disguise as news?
ost journalists get hun-dreds of press releases and “advisories” every week and most aren’t rel-evant to the readership
they serve. But some have slick or compel-
ling headlines that just scream out to be read.
“Worried work is making you sick? You’re not alone” — is a press release from a company that mar-kets vitamins.
The premise of the “news” release — and I use the term news loosely — is that if you’re taking enough of the right vitamins, you’ll feel perky and energetic and be a better worker.
How about this one: “Reading glasses make some Canadians feel old, according to survey”.
This news release was from one of those laser eye surgery compa-nies, that — not surprisingly — did a survey that found 26 per cent of Canadians feel old when they wear glasses; and 21 per cent would agree to pack on five more pounds if it meant they could discard their reading glasses. (Huh, is that even a realistic option? How did they pose that question in their survey?)
Then there are the news release headlines you have to read several times to figure out what is being suggested. Try this: “Eighty-eight per cent of Canadian minimum-wage earners do not live in low-income households”.
This was a serious news column about the pros and cons of rais-ing the minimum wage, stating that because most minimum wage earners don’t live in low-income housing, it will do little to reduce poverty.
But personally, I found the head-line hard to wrap my head around.
Try this disguised ad for retire-ment planning services from a Canadian bank: “What will you do with 2,000 hours a year when you retire?”
I loved that one. I sat daydreaming looking out
my office window ... let me consider that rather fun question ... hmmm, gardening, window shopping, read-ing, walking, communicating with relatives I promise to stay in better touch with every Christmas ... the list is endless.
Here’s another release from a dif-ferent Canadian banking establish-ment: “Home ownership is a prior-ity for millenials: poll”.
Well, duh, of course it is, both my own millenials would love to own their own homes, but neither is remotely close to achieving that dream.
My daughter rents a rather beat up, drafty house in rural Peel with her boyfriend and two dogs.
The two of them are barely mak-ing ends meet and putting groceries on the table, never mind saving for a downpayment for a home of their own.
My son just turned 24 last week, and instead of looking ahead at life with optimism, he’s worried about an artificial deadline he has imposed on himself.
You see, he was hoping that by age 25, he’d have a good career and enough money to move out of his parents’ basement into an apart-ment or townhouse he’d rent with some friends.
Unfortunately, one year away from his great “freedom 25,” he doesn’t see that as a realistic goal.
But here’s this week’s fave head-line: “Work email is a waste, 9 per cent of the time, execs say”.
What company benefits from this survey, you ask? Robert Haft staffing agency; offering six “tips” to manage your email overload.
I’m betting the underlying mes-sage of the release is: everyone should hire a secretary or temp per-son to manage their emails.
Any takers out there?

Regarding article entitled: Newmarket man told not to run on Huron Heights Secondary School track: bit.ly/1T2wx0i
Victoria Marr — If the field says closed, I’m unsure as to why one would feel this was not applicable to them. When the field is open, I don’t see any reason why in a case such as this (before school and after when not in use by the school) there should be a problem.
Regarding article entitled: Newmar-ket man told not to run on Huron Heights Secondary School track: bit.ly/1T2wx0i
By Kyle — As a tax payer, you also pay for municipal buildings but do you expect to have free range access to them? Perhaps you can lodge in one of them since you paid tax. His tax contribution toward the track specifically is nominal with respect to the broad services provided. The side-walks and roads he cannot run on didn’t come cheap. The intent of the school track is for activities related to the school. After all, they are ultimately responsible for the condition of the track and its budget suf-fers for undue costs. Underlying problems might not be publicly disclosed, the school would know of these best. Plus if I was a student there training after school, I might not decide to run that track if some old man is there.
By Brian — What is not discussed in the article is the larger issue; how fear has entered into our hearts and minds to such an extent that it is crippling our personal lives and institutions. This is the larger dialogue that we need to have, one about the forfeiting of personal responsibility and the corresponding rise of external controls. That is why I took on the town. I just wanted to go for a run on a track built for that purpose and paid for with our tax dollars. And I couldn’t do it because big brother deemed even that to be unsafe.
By Loriann — Run the track at the Aurora Family Leisure Complex for FREE! 6am to 10pm Monday to Friday, Sat and Sun 8am - 4pm

tant. “We didn’t predetermine what the issues were because we want to leave it as open as possible,” Thompson said. “We want to col-lectively and collaboratively figure out what the most pressing issues are and come to a consensus on a possible solution. This isn’t about abolishing the OMB, since the pre-mier (Kathleen Wynne) has already said there will be reform. We just want to come up with something we can all get behind.”
To date, 100 elected officials representing 50 municipalities have registered for the event.
Earlier this week, Newmarket council took a stand on the issue of OMB reform.
Council passed two related motions — the first formally called on the province to review the OMB structure and adopt “significant and meaningful” amendments and process changes that would give greater authority on planning deci-sions to local municipalities.
The recommendation also asks the province to ensure municipal official plans better comply with Ontario legislation through a more “rigorous review and approval process” — rather than relying so heavily at times on OMB interven-tion.
If the province adopted the changes outlined in the motion, the OMB would only be used to decide if a municipality’s planning decision complies with its own
official plan. That could substan-tially limit the power of the OMB.
Local planning decisions should be left up to towns and cities, not the OMB, Bisanz said.
If the province adopted the changes outlined
in the motion, the OMB would only be used to
decide if a municipality’s planning decision
complies with its own official plan.
That’s hardly a new statement being echoed by Bisanz — in fact, it’s one asserted by many people in town since Newmarket lost its Glenway OMB battle about two years ago.
“There’s been a growing swell of people calling for change, com-ing from both municipalities (and) the public,” Bisanz said. “It doesn’t make much sense that municipali-ties invest much time, resources and cost in developing their (official plans) — the plans then go through two further levels of government before being approved — and then have the OMB in a position where it can upturn all of that.”
OMB hearings are costly, both for the municipality and the com-munity groups that seek party status to defend their interests against development applications.
The Glenway battle cost the town about $700,000, but the resident-based community groups are often forced to host fundraisers simply to hire lawyers and planners, Bisanz said.
“We recognize the province has a right and a role to setting provincial legislation and policy direction,” Regional Councillor John Taylor said. “We must abide by that, but once we’ve abided, local decisions should be left to the local councils. It’s that simple. This is a resolution meant to get government’s attention. We’re mov-ing in the right direction. The most important part is that all munici-palities are starting to talk with one voice. One municipality at a time doesn’t have the power of all those voices together.”
The second Newmarket motion allocated $500 toward the Markham summit.
The group organizing the sum-mit has also started a petition calling on the provincial govern-ment to take immediate action to review the powers and process of the OMB.
It specifically asks the province to limit the jurisdiction of the unelected body to questions of law or process, while upholding any planning decisions of municipal councils unless they are contrary to the processes and rules set out in legislation.
The petition, which has been circulating since March 6, has nearly 500 signatures.

ow that the warmer weather is finally looking like it is here to stay, spring is the perfect time to talk about growth, transforma-tion and the bright promises of
things to come.Just last week, at my annual address to the
Newmarket Chamber of Commerce, I took the opportunity to reflect on some of the Town of Newmarket’s most recent successes and lay the groundwork for what our com-munity and our partners can expect to see in the near future.
Speaking of successes, I should take a moment to acknowledge and congratulate the wonderful and dedicated team who works hard to make the Town of Newmarket even better for our residents. In early April, the Town was the recipient of four notable provincial awards in the area of recreation and culture – contributing to our reputation as a creative, leading-edge and innovative community.
We also celebrated our phenomenal vol-unteers as part of National Volunteer Week, who are – through their unrelenting support and passion – the roots of a strong Newmar-ket.
That focus is a real team effort, and it comes from a place of hard work and com-mitment. As a municipality, we are going above and beyond to accelerate the growth of this community through our strategic priori-ties, planning efforts, economic development activities and our partnerships.
We should all be enthusiastic and inspired by the progress we are making and by the great projects unfolding around us.
I am happy to say that the Davis Drive
VivaNext rapidway is operating, with final landscaping and streetscaping taking place as I write this article. Feedback from our community has been positive, and we are looking forward to an upcoming installation of public art on the Keith Bridge later this year.
We have surpassed a significant milestone in our overall transportation plans but are mindful that construction is still being done on Yonge Street. Yonge is yet another proj-ect which will require work and patience in the short-term, but will deliver long-term changes that will benefit our community for generations to come.
Being a part of Newmarket living up to its full potential is one of the most rewarding and exciting elements of my job as Mayor, and I will continue to be excited about the growth of this community as we work together to make Newmarket well beyond the ordinary.

Council approves expansion of egg-laying hens pilot project
Newmarket is flying forward on the expansion of its egg-laying hens pilot project.
The one-year pilot approved by council a few months ago has only received interest from one household so far. That’s prompted the town to expand the scope of the pilot into Ward 5, where a few residents have taken an interest in the con-cept. The expansion was approved at this week’s council meeting.
Under the project, hens will be kept in backyards. A maximum of three per property will be permitted and all hens must be at
least four months old. Tenants must obtain permission from property owners before participating in the pilot and hens must be kept in their coops from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night. Enclosures must be a minimum of 10
square feet per hen, and the hens must be kept in an enclosed run when not in their coops. Roosters are banned.
Hen coops and runs must be at least 1.2 metres from the rear and side lot lines
and participants must get permission from abutting property owners.
Slaughter is also prohibited, so any hens that die during this pilot must be sent to a livestock facility or veterinarian for proper disposal.
For more information on the pilot, visit newmarket.ca/urbanhens

Security camera footage shows Ty stand-ing at the school, during which time he appears well. However, between 9 and 10:30 a.m., Wint admitted he lost his temper and struck Ty more than once in the abdomen with significant force.
He was hit so hard one doctor said the child’s pancreas was split in two. Also, Ty suffered a “lumbar” fracture, which a doctor said occurred when Wint struck Ty so hard in the abdomen it “compressed through to his back”.
Although doctors said he could have had a “period of survival” window of three hours, nothing was done to save him. Despite Wint knowing he caused serious injuries to his boy, he delayed calling 911 for several hours for fear that what he’d done would be discov-ered.
Doctors said that by the end, two-thirds of the boy’s blood was found in his abdominal cavity.
Wint said at 11:15 a.m. that day he arrived at his mother, Valerie Wint’s, home with Ty.
Valerie, a nurse, said the boy was “looked unwell, appeared drowsy, weak and lethar-gic” and would not eat. She said she told Mario to take him to the medical clinic near her home. Wint refused and said he would take Ty to the hospital if he wasn’t feeling bet-ter after lunch.
He admitted lying about what was wrong with Ty, suggesting he was “cranky, tired or teething”. He left Valerie’s home at 11:45.
An hour later, Mario picked up his other son from school. The surveillance video showed Ty not moving and “lying in his stroller with his arms extended”.
Valerie texted Mario at 1:24 p.m., asking Mario if Ty was “OK” and received the reply, “So far, yes. He was lively when he seen his cars, seems to be OK now. I’m making home some soup”.
Wint called 911 between four and 5-1/2 hours after striking the boy, but when authorities arrived, Ty had no vital signs and was pronounced dead at 3:15 p.m. after being taken to Southlake Regional Health Centre. Ty experienced “significant pain” and internal injuries would eventually lead to his death, doctors said. Wint lied to 911 opera-tors and police, who arrived at his door, and investigators afterward.
He told Const. David Elford, the first emergency responder to arrive, that he found Ty this way after he began suffering from a bit of a cold. During CPR, Wint said Ty “was spitting up mucus”.
He later told Det. Evangelos Nassios that Ty had a “runny nose” before showering with him and putting him to bed.
Wint further advised that Ty had fallen down steps days earlier, but that he had been fine afterward, according to the statement of facts. Wint’s friends mounted a huge effort to secure his release, launching a Facebook page to prove his innocence and implying the boy had choked to death.
That same page has now turned largely against Wint, who will be sentenced May 13.

With the power off, gently hose down the outdoor condenser to get rid of anydebris. Then, if possible, turn on the breaker to the unit 24 hours in advanceof starting the unit. Switch the thermostat setting from “heat” to “cool” andset the temperature to a comfortable setting above 74 deg F or 23 deg C.Adjust the basement and main floor registers for summertime use (closingoff or reducing the airflow). This will force the cooler air to upper areas of thehome. Also check that the drain-lines are clear. Finally, arrange to have yoursystem checked out by a qualified licensed technician.

Getting your teeth cleaned is one of the most important things you can dofor your teeth, smile and overall health. Poor oral hygiene invariably leads togum disease. Studies have shown links between gum disease, diabetes, heartdisease, cancer, osteoporosis and other diseases. Gum disease (also knownas Periodontal disease) is generally a “silent disease’’ meaning that signs andsymptoms, such as pain, do not show up until the later stages of the disease.This is unfortunate as many people are unaware that they have the disease untilit has progressed to its advanced stages. The cleaner your teeth are kept thelonger they will stay in your mouth and, as a bonus, the healthier you will be!What could be wrong with that? We are accepting new patients and would loveto help you keep your teeth for life!

Treatment most often involves preventing the plantar fascia fromtearing by correcting faulty foot biomechanics with the use offoot orthotics and supportive footwear. A chiropodist can helpyou with assessing the problem and recommending a course oftreatment.

What’s the differencebetween a Part I and
a Part III offence?For starters a Part I offence is called an offence notice (ticket) and has an out of courtsettlement (fine) on it, whereas a Part III is a “Summons” (has a date on which you mustattend court to answer to the charge(s)).Part I matters require you to request a court date (if you want to challenge the ticket), theyare often minor offences and the court penalty is kept at a minimum. Court penalties forPart III offences are more severe and can involve licence suspensions, jail time, heavyfines etc. Some examples of a Part III offence include; Drive without Insurance, DriveUnder Suspension, Racing, Fail to Remain at Accident, Speeding over 50 km/h and over.It is important to know your options…I always recommend that you take advantage of myFREE INITIAL CONSULTATION.

Community support key to keeping hospice alive
Story & photo by Simon Martin
FEATURE SERIES: TO THE BETTER END
This is part 4 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 parts 1, 2 and 3, visitbit.ly/1VmZx9X

he lifeblood of any charity organization is its volunteers. Doane House Hospice is no
different.
TAs we wrap up our To the Bet-
ter End series on the community’s hospice organization, we look at difficulties and challenges of keeping the non-profit group alive.
The hospice’s dedicated volunteer force of more than 120 people has allowed the hospice to serve many York Region residents in need the past 27 years.
But even the most dedicated volunteers need the right equipment, co-ordination and organization and that takes money.
Like many charities, Doane House is con-
stantly searching for the almighty dollar year after year to keep its doors open.
With a budget that hovers around $300,000, board chair Scott Allan said the hospice gets 20 per cent of its annual budget from the province.
“Simple math says we have to raise the other 80 per cent,” Allan said. That simple math amounts to fundraising around $250,000 every year.
The majority of that $250,000 comes from fundraising events throughout the year such as Hike for Hospice, which is happening Sunday, May 1 at Fairy Lake in Newmarket, Allan said. The Doane House also has an annual golf tournament in June and car raffle in the fall that brings in a significant amount of money.
Hike for Hospice is a nationwide event hosted by hospices and palliative care orga-
nizations, that occurs annually on the first Sunday each May, Doane House Hospice executive director Juliet Irish said.
While the Hike happening this weekend, Irish said the hospice launched an online GoFundMe campaign earlier this month with a goal of raising $35,000. So far, they have been able to get $1,610 in donations on the crowd-sourcing website with hopes of more to come.
The hospice receives around $60,000 in direct donations, which Allan said is gen-erosity the hospice heavily counts on every year.
A key challenge the hospice faces mov-ing forward is that demand for its services is at an all-time high, while government funding has been stagnant for more than a decade. “What has snowballed is the
demand,” Allan said. While the government has made some
noise about increasing investment in pallia-tive care programs across the province, Allan said the reality right now is the money allot-ted to Doane House is not changing.
With the Stronach Regional Cancer Cen-tre opening in 2010, Irish said the Doane House has seen an uptick in need for its ser-vices. Last fiscal year, Irish said the hospice served 550 clients. It’s a far cry from when it opened in 1989, originally located out of Green Acres on Eagle Street. Back then, Irish said the idea of hospice care was relatively new in Canada.
In 2001, the historical building was relo-cated to its current site on Yonge Street in Newmarket, where it continues to serve Newmarket, Aurora, East Gwillimbury and
Bradford.An important thing to remember is that
Doane House offers all of its services free of charge, Irish said. Whether it’s caregiver sup-port, art therapy, a bereavement program or direct volunteer visit to clients’ homes, Irish said it’s important to not increase the finan-cial burdens on the hospice’s clients.
“When people have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, they are often deal-ing with huge financial burdens,” Irish said.
A donation large or small is much appre-ciated for the hospice.
“Twenty five dollars might buy art therapy supplies like paintbrushes, canvases and paint,” Irish said. “Every dollar counts.”
Allan estimates a day of operation at Doane costs $850 and the hospice uses this number as a fundraising tool to help people understanding where their money is going.
With so many volunteers and a demand for its services high, Allan said the future looks promising. But to be viable, it will have to continue to be creative in its fundraising efforts year after year.
“The Hospice wouldn’t have existed this long without support from the community,” Allan said. “We are fortunate to live in a very generous community.”

Doane House Hospice executive director Juliet Irish, board chair Scott Allan and admin Jean Anderton stand next to the organization’s wall of recognition, which lists the names of its volunteers and donors. Fundraising is crucial to keeping Doane House operating.
Province funds just 20% of Doane House’s $300K annual budget, meaning hospice must fundraise rest

f you listen carefully to cov-erage of the April 21 Ques-tion Period from Queen’s Park, you might just hear a sweetly sung rendition
of ‘Five Little Pandas’ amidst the heated debate over recent changes to the Ontario Autism Program.
While protesters vocally shamed Premier Kathleen Wynne for a program shift they charge will rob a “lost generation” of autistic chil-dren of the long-awaited therapy they so desperately need, little Lila Majer sang through the protests unruffled – at one point even trying to get members of Wynne’s Liberal government to sing along with her as the debate raged on.
The Etobicoke four-year-old, who was first diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at two, is just one of thousands of autistic children anticipated to be negatively impacted by the changes, which will essentially cut off funding for “life-changing” Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) therapy — which comes with an estimated price tag of about $50,000 a year — at five.
Among that lost generation are the 1,377 autistic children in Ontario currently aged five and older already receiving IBI who will now be transitioned out of the therapy, another 835 children over the age of five who are still on the IBI wait list and will now be deemed ineligible to receive the therapy, and a further 1,331 kids just under five who are expected to “age out” of the funding while waiting their turn on the IBI list.
Then there are the kids such as Lila, who will likely have her gov-ernment-funded IBI therapy cut short under the new strategy.
“Lila will receive some therapy, but once she turns five this thera-py, which she so desperately needs, will no longer be available to her,” said Lila’s mom Jennifer Majer, who was among more than 200 parents and children on hand at the Ontario Legislature on April 12 to protest the changes.
Lila, who is currently enrolled in costly private Applied Behav-ioural Analysis (ABA) and speech therapy, is finally nearing the top of the IBI list after nearly two years of anxiously awaiting her turn for
the intensive one-on-one training, Majer said.
“So, when I read about the changes, I just started to cry. It feels like a slap in the face; like this wait has been for nothing,” she added, noting that the family had even forgone registering Lila in kinder-garten for next fall, because they expected her to be enrolled in IBI for about two years come October.
“Had we known that there was a plan to change the program, we would have done things differ-ently – we would have made more sacrifices in order to get Lila the (IBI) therapy that she needs and deserves sooner.”
The Ministry of Children and Youth Services (MCYS) announced the rollout of the new Ontario Autism Program on March 29.
The $333-million investment over five years attached to the new program, the ministry asserts, will “provide children and youth with critical interventions faster.”
While the average wait time for autistic children across Ontario to access IBI services is more than two years, here in the Greater Toronto Area, the wait list ranged from 25 to 39 months as of Sep-tember 2015, the MCYS confirmed in an email statement to The Guardian.
“This is unacceptable and why we’re taking steps to help (fami-lies) get the support and services they need in a timely manner,” the statement reads, noting exten-sive research has shown IBI has the greatest impact on children between the ages of two and four.
“Wait times for intensive pro-grams are increasing and children are waiting too long for services that can have the highest impact on their needs.”
Also quoting IBI’s lengthy wait times under the old Ontario Autism Program, the premier her-self argued change was needed lest children continue to “languish”
while waiting for treatment. To those ends, she said the new
Autism Program will strive to cut wait times in half over the next two years and ultimately down to just six months by 2021.
To do so, however, the program caps government-funded access to IBI services at five, at which age children will be gradually transi-tioned to ABA therapy, which uses scientific principles of learning and behaviour to increase functional life skills such as communication, social, emotional and daily living skills.
To help with that transition, MCYS has also pledged one-time funding in the amount of $8,000 for each of those families with children five years and older – who, under the new strategy, will now be ineligible for IBI — toward the purchase of community services or supports based on their children’s specific needs as they transition off the waitlist.
Critics, however, argue that the positive strides of the new program do not have to come on the backs of that “lost generation” of five, six, seven and eight year olds who will no longer have access to IBI.
Parents of such children and their supporters have rallied together to form the Alliance Against the Ontario Autism Pro-gram – a Facebook group that now boasts more than 2,230 members like the Majers, who have gone on to stage #AutismDoesntEndAt5 protests in cities including Ottawa, Toronto, Mississauga, Barrie, Ham-ilton, Burlington, Durham Region, Niagara, Kingston, Belleville, St. Catharines, Kitchener, London, Sudbury and beyond.
Monique Taylor, the NDP critic for Children and Youth Services, was more scathing in her review of the new program.
“The facts are very clear. The government is abandoning kids with ASD over the age of five,” the Hamilton Mountain MPP said dur-ing a recent press conference at Queen’s Park.
Taylor has since spearheaded a petition asking the government “to immediately ensure that all chil-dren currently on the waiting list for IBI therapy are grandfathered into the new program so they do not become a lost generation.”
While signatures continue to mount, Taylor’s office confirmed this week they have so far received petitions numbering “well into the hundreds.”
The Majers are among those helping to collect petition signa-tures on behalf of families, like theirs, devastated by the changes.
“It’s just like if you were on a list for a heart transplant or a lung transplant and you waited and waited, and just when you finally got close to the top of the list, they said ‘actually, now we’re going to only give transplants to people under the age of 30, because they have a better chance of living a longer life,’ You’d be pretty appalled and disgusted,” Majer said.
“It might not be life or death, but IBI is life-changing therapy and these kids have been waiting years and years for it.
“And now, it’s just being taken away. It’s not fair and it’s not right – and we’re not going to stop fighting for it.”

Do you know if your child has had required vaccinations?
BY JENNI DUNNING
Metroland Central reporter
n a society in which you can get vacci-nated at the doctor’s office, pharmacy,
school or work, the fed-eral government is work-ing to ensure the shots are accurately recorded.
To mark National Immuniza-tion Week, the federal health min-istry is injecting $3.5 million into an app for tracking immunization records.
ImmunizeCA provides immu-nization schedules based on your home province or territory, as well as appointment reminders, local outbreak notifications and infor-mation for children, adults and travellers.
The new funding will help fund the app’s phase two development, which includes customizable and catch-up schedules for newcomers to Canada.
“I am enthused by this app, as ImmunizeCA lets Canadians find the trusted knowledge they need to keep themselves and their families up to date on their vaccinations,” said federal Health Minister Dr. Jane Philpott in a news release.
More than 140,000 people have used ImmunizeCA since it launched in 2014 and the goal of the second phase is to increase that to 500,000 users, according to the Public Health Agency of
Canada. “Putting health information
into the hands of citizens is an important part of empowering Canadians to protect themselves, and those they love, from vaccine-preventable diseases,” said Ian Culbert, executive director of the Canadian Public Health Associa-tion, which collaborated on the app’s creation.
‘This app would prevent losing those records in a
purse.’
It can be a challenge for parents to keep track of their children’s immunization records, said Mar-tina Cuillerier, infectious disease control supervisor with York Region Public Health.
“That little yellow card isn’t always accessible or easy to find when you need it and this app will give parents access to those records 24/7,” she added. “This app would prevent losing those records in a purse.”
Records are important and it is the responsibility of the parent, not doctor or school, to submit these updated records to York Region Public Health, she said. There are vaccinations required for children to attend school and public health uses these records track the health of the community, specifically local trends involving vaccine prevent-able disease outbreaks.
Ontario’s Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care announced last week it is recommended boys and girls in Grade 7 get vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is to start in schools next fall.
Although it has been recom-mended for both for quite some time, she said, only the girls’ shots were publicly funded.
Many children are immunized at school, but it can be difficult for some parents to keep track of what shots their kids have had between there and at the doctor’s office.
Most primary and secondary students do not require any addi-tional vaccines to attend school if they have followed the routine immunization schedule, according to the ministry.

hampionships cannot be won without the goals and assists or the stars and heroes. That’s a given.
Beyond the obvious, it’s also about selflessness across the line-up at playoff time. And every coach wants as many of those team-first guys he can get his hands on.
It’s one of the reasons the Tren-ton Golden Hawks struck a deal with the Newmarket Hurricanes to acquire Curtis Harvey earlier this season as a nice piece to what became their Ontario Junior Hock-ey League championship puzzle last weekend.
The 21-year-old Keswick resi-dent won’t dazzle with points totals on the scoresheet. There aren’t many nights he’ll dazzle and be named first star, but when there is need for a key faceoff to be won or a shot blocked, the former Hurri-canes captain is one of your send-out guys. Within a team structure where little things mean a lot, accumulation becomes bigger and more meaningful.
Let’s get this straight: in his final junior season, and third with New-market, Harvey didn’t necessarily want to leave the Hurricanes, even though rookie head coach Brett
Former Canes’ captain Harvey soars with Golden Hawks
CPunchard opted to go without a designated captain.
With the Hurricanes on a rebuilding model, Harvey was approached in late November about interest in a trade to a con-tending team. It’s a favour many non-contending teams extend to their veterans in their final seasons.
“(Punchard) said a couple of teams were interested and would I want to go to Trenton,” said Harvey, who concedes he was surprised but not upset about Punchard’s captain philosophy. “I think it was good for me to get out of my comfort zone and get into a billet away from home and get the full junior experience.
“I knew I was going to a better team, but I was surprised by the organization. They treat you like gold and the fans are unbelievable. We sold out our last game in some-thing like four hours.”
The Golden Hawks, who have been rated among the top teams in Canada for much of the season, zipped through four rounds of playoffs playing just two games over the minimum. It started with a four-game sweep of the Hurri-canes and ended with ousting the South-West Conference champion Georgetown Raiders by a four
knew something about him,” said Dupont, the Golden Hawks general manager and head coach who sent forward Owen Ramsay to New-market in the late November deal. “Ironically, we got good feedback on him from Thomas Milne. He said Curtis was Newmarket’s best player in the playoffs last year.
“He’s been exceptional and really helped our cause. He really integrated well into our team. He wanted to be here and to win a championship.”
Harvey’s numbers won’t dazzle anyone, but those paying attention in junior hockey circles realize the value of such players.
“He plays a 200-foot game, doesn’t mind sacrificing his body and is terrific on faceoffs,” said Dupont. “He has a really high hockey IQ.”
The St. Andrew’s College gradu-ate was tied for second in scoring with the Hurricanes in the 2014-15 season, and moved from front line status in Newmarket to a lesser role in Trenton without missing a beat. His numbers were off with a 29-point regular season split between the two teams and he added two goals and five assists in 18 playoff games.
“It’s an adjustment, but what-
ever the coach tells me, I’ll do,” said Harvey, who will study economics when he attends St. Olaf College, a Division III school in Minnesota next season. “He knows what he’s doing. There’s some pretty good players here and you have to play behind them. I still took a lot of big faceoffs.
“There is a lot more maturity and a lot of last-year guys that want to win the whole thing. It’s more intense.”
The road to the Dudley Hewitt Cup for Trenton included a four-game series sweep of Harvey’s for-mer team in Newmarket.
The four-team tournament starts May 3 in Kirkland Lake, with Trenton facing the Soo Thunder-birds.
Ironically, former teammate Connor Ryckman, released by the Hurricanes in January, led the Thunderbirds to a Northern Ontar-io Junior Hockey League title after being sold at the trade deadline. The pair spent 1-1/2 seasons with the Hurricanes.
Ryckman, the No. 1 guy in the Soo, has six shutouts in 12 playoff games.
“I think I have a few tricks for him,” said Harvey.
games to one margin in the final.“It’s unreal,” said Harvey.
“Everyone is so happy. We know we’ve worked so hard and the dream has come true. It’s an unreal feeling to represent the OJ.”
Jerome Dupont, who led the Aurora Tigers to a national cham-pionship in 2007 has an idea what it takes to put together a winner. He reached back to his former franchise for details, tapping another former Tigers head coach in Thomas Milne, whose team knocked off the Harvey-captained Hurricanes in the 2015 playoffs.
He also acquired Tigers captain Jordan DaSilva and Keaton Ratc-liffe in another deal.
“Obviously, I’d seen (Harvey) play for a couple of years and
Stingrays’ Axon, Bui rule pool at Markham spring meet
Newmarket Stingrays teammates Alex-ander Axon and Allan Bui won three events each to dominate their age category at the Markham Aquatic Club April Invitational swim meet last weekend.
Competing in the boys’ 12-year-old age group, the duo combined for 11 of the Stingrays’ 40 medals, including six of 18
golds won by club members at the recent meet.
Bui swept the breaststroke at 50, 100 and 200 metres. Axon topped the competition in the 100 and 200 freestyle and 50 butterfly events.
Among Stingrays girls, Danielle Hanus (15-and-over) won the 50 and 100 back-stroke events.

Newmarket Saints lacrosse team bows to Brampton in home opener
The Brampton Excelsiors roared out to an early four-goal lead on the way to a 13-6 win to spoil the Newmarket Saints’ Ontario Jr. B Lacrosse League home opener Sunday night at Ray Twinney Complex.
The Excelsiors scored three goals by the fourth minute and built 5-2 and 9-4 intermission leads behind five-point per-formances from Nick Rybka and Brody McClean.
Grant Scott had a hat trick and Jordan Nanos had four assists among five points to lead the Saints’ offence. Devlin Kauffeldt and Tyler Rowe notched the other Newmar-ket goals.
The loss left the Saints winless in two
starts following an 8-5 loss to the Oakville Buzz Friday night in Oakville.
Newmarket resumes its 20-game regular-season at 7 p.m. Sunday when the Mid-East Division rival Orillia Kings visit the complex.

When it Storms, sometimes it rains down gold.
Two Storm Volleyball Club girls’ teams blew through the field Sunday afternoon, both recording four consecutive wins on the last of three days of competition to capture Ontario Volleyball Association gold medals in tournament play at Waterloo.
Storm Typhoon outlasted London’s Forest City Green in straight sets (25-22, 29-27) to claim top spot in the 32-team girls’ under-16 tournament and claim half of the Aurora club’s gold medal haul on the day.
On another court, Monsoon took down Halton Hurricanes in straight sets (29-27,
25-22) to claim gold in the under-13 category.Typhoon, which will carry the top Ontario
seed on to a national championship tourna-ment next month, advanced to the final with a 25-19, 25-19 triumph over South County Teal in semifinal action.
Earlier, Typhoon outlasted Defensa 25-16, 25-27, 15-9 in quarter-final action after open-ing the round of 16 bracket with a 25-22, 25-8 victory over Toronto Lightning.
On the U-13 side, Monsoon suffered its only set loss of the day in a 25-20, 21-25, 15-11 win over Scarborough Titans Synergy in the semifinal round.
After starting the playoffs with a two-set win over Mountain Volleyball Club Black, Monsoon trounced London Great Whites 25-15, 25-15 in quarter-final round action.

Lynda Carusi takes lead role in Newmarket minor hockeyBy John [email protected]
Lynda Carusi has worn many hats over the 20-plus years she has volunteered on behalf of the Newmarket Minor Hockey Association.
Her resume includes convenorships and executive posts, coaching, manag-ing and training and most everything in between.
Now she will sit in the big chair after being elected president Saturday at the organization’s annual general meeting and elections.
Carusi succeeds Kirk Kelly, who held the position on an interim basis since December. Kelly, a long-time member of the NMHA, decided not to run for the position for personal reasons.
Carusi becomes the NMHA’s fourth president in less than 18 months.
“I just felt it was time to move up,” said Carusi, most recently the organization’s vice-president of house leagues. “I’ve done quite a few things in the organiza-tion.
“It’s all about the kids. I love hockey, like the NMHA and wanted to stay involved.”
Kelly, also a long-time member of the NMHA, says he won’t simply fade into
oblivion.“I hope to be involved in the 60th
anniversary,” said Kelly. “I have so many friends at the rink that
I’ll have to go back.“Lynda has been around for more than
20 years and held several positions. She is so well connected I think she offers the best opportunity for continuity and lead-ership.”
Roy George, who joined the NMHA executive as alternate vice-president for the rep program, was also elected to that position for a full term.
Carusi said one of her main priorities is to ignite an upward trend in registration to offset decreasing enrolment over the past several seasons. She said the organi-zation has seen its registration decrease by “80 to 100” children per season for the past six seasons.
LYNDA CARUSI: The longtime Newmarket Minor Hockey Association volunteer was elected president of the organiza-tion on Saturday. She succeeds interim president Kirk Kelly.

n his quiet way, Malcolm Gra-ham could light up a room with his smile and had a way of making anyone he spent time with feel special.
Malcolm died at the age of 68 on March 25 at Southlake Regional Health Centre from complications three weeks after suffering a heart attack.
The Grahams came to Newmar-ket in 1973, shortly after Malcolm graduated from Western Univer-sity and a chartered accountant apprentice program with Pricewa-terhouse in Toronto.
They moved to town when Malcolm was offered a job with accounting firm Cossar, Hector and Payne on Main Street.
They did have a tie to New-market since his wife Mary Beth’s parents, Gordon and Helen Ough, were born and raised in town and her grandfather, Jack Nesbitt, had been the mayor in the mid-1920s and again in the early 1930s.
Malcolm and Mary Beth met in Blenheim District High School near Chatham when he was in Grade 11 and she was in Grade 9.
It was love at first sight.“We met in high school and
dated and that was it,” Mary Beth laughed.
“He was very handsome, a fabulous smile, very athletic, just a nice guy. I don’t think you’d find
Malcolm Graham was quiet family man
I
anybody that would say anything negative about Malcolm. He was one of those people, very giving in a quiet way, but always had time for people. Didn’t matter if it was business-wise or friends or neigh-bours. Just in a quiet way, he would be there.”
They married on Oct. 29, 1966 while Malcolm was still at Western.
The couple, parents of sons John and Jeff, would have celebrat-ed their 50th anniversary this fall.
When they first moved to New-market, Malcolm got involved with the Lion’s Club.
In 1975, he and some friends founded the York North Racquet Club, a squash club that raised the hackles of some for its men’s
Vale, Colorado every December.Despite the pressure of work,
from which he never retired, Mal-colm loved spending time with family and friends at the cottage they have had in southwestern Ontario since 1977.
“That was a big point for all of our family. It was always a very special place for everybody,” Mary Beth said.
The whole family, including John and his wife, Connie, and their children, Mackenzie, Ireland, Conner and Liam, and Jeff and his wife, Susan, and their children, Georgia and Jack, loved spending time at the cottage.
“Family was huge (to Malcolm). I just think he was very proud of what all of them have achieved,” Mary Beth said.
“Particularly, for the grandchil-dren, I think (the cottage) is a fun place to be, you’re that next gen-eration. He enjoyed them all. He loved having them around, loved having them at the cottage. Lots of boating, lots of swimming, lots of sailing. It was wonderful, really. A lot of family time. Malcolm worked really hard, but we had some real quality family time. Those are good memories.”
Sadly, Jeff died six years ago at the age of 40 of a brain tumour after being diagnosed 12 years earlier.
Because of his illness, the fam-ily has been big supporters of the

only policy.“There were a lot of women
who were not very happy with that group, not happy at all. It didn’t bother me, but there were several others that were not too happy about it,” Mary Beth said.
“It was a group of guys, there were some professional people and all kinds of great guys. They just decided they needed something (for men).”
Initially, Malcolm, who would go on to establish accounting firm Bateman, Graham, Fitzpatrick on Davis Drive, was an avid squash player, but his interest waned as work demands grew.
He also looked forward to an annual ski vacation with friends to
Brain Tumour Foundation of Cana-da, helping to raise about $100,000 over many years.
When Jeff died, his flag football league started a memorial golf tournament in his honour, a ven-ture the family helped support.
Initially, proceeds from the tournament went to the brain foundation. For the last three years, it has raised about $200,000 for the hospice at Southlake Regional Health Centre.
“Those kinds of things were really important to Malcolm. You wouldn’t find him out there being the big cheerleader saying, ‘Hey look at us, what we’re doing’,” Mary Beth said.
“It was always just in a very quiet way. It was huge for him to be giving back.”
Malcolm will be missed by fam-ily, friends, neighbours and clients, Mary Beth said.
“He was probably one of the most generous people I’ve ever met. Very kind. Always put other people ahead of himself. Even at the office, if people came in with even just the smallest problem, it didn’t matter. He would take just as much time with that person as he would with someone with a very complicated problem. Everybody felt he was giving his all,” she said.
“And he had the most wonder-ful smile. It just made everyone else smile. He could just light up a room with that smile.”
Malcolm Graham
“Adored by children, universally respected and an inspiration to her peers, Mrs. McCluskey was a tireless volunteer, quick to defl ect the praise heaped on her.”

In MemoriamApril 30, 2016
In loving memory of a wonderful son and brother who passed away on April 30, 2011.
Five very long years ago on April 30th you were called by the angels to fulfil a grand purpose, one that has been bestowed upon you for all of eternity. Today, you oversee all those you love and offer them your protective hand in a way that only you can. While we have been deprived of your physical being, we have been enriched by the constant realization that you continue to impact the lives of so many, even to this day.Jason, please know that our hearts continue to pain; our souls continue to weep; our longing for you continues to increase by the day; but, our love continues to grow as if you were here. While today marks the anniversary of a tragedy, it also memorializes our deepest love, respect and gratitude for what you have contributed to our lives throughout your 26 short years on this earth.Forever rest in peace my love and may you be in God's eternal care.

In loving memory ofJAMES T. YOUNG
who passed away May 1st, 2009.Always in my heart.
My heart still aches with sadness,Secret tears still flow,What it meant to lose you,No one will ever know.My thoughts are always with you,Your place no one can fill,In life I loved your dearly,In death I love you still.They say time heals everything,But I know it isn't so,Because it hurts as much today,As it did 7 years ago.Because death leaves a heartache,No one can heal,And love leaves memories,No one can steal.
Forever loved, sadly missed,Harriet xoxo
