Hospitals payfor delayedambulances
BY L.H. TIFFANY [email protected]
York’s three hospitals are being punished by regional council as motivation to improve ambulance turnaround time.
York Region has budgeted $13 million in hospital capital funding this year, but will only allocate less than $12.2 million because none of the hospitals met the 60-minute ambulance turnaround target last year.
Markham Stouffville Hospital, Southlake Regional Health Centre and Mackenzie Rich-mond Hill (formerly York Central Hospital) exceeded the target time by 6.5, 4.1 and 15.8 minutes, respectively.
All three have agreed to the proposed fund-ing arrangement.
They recorded a combined average ambu-lance turnaround time of 68.8 minutes.
That’s the time between when an EMS ambulance arrives at a hospital emergency room and when it leaves.
The region proposes deducting more than $850,000 from hospital funding, calculated at $171.56 per hour based on each hospital’s performance.
About $320,000 of that amount will be used to explore options to minimize delays in turn-around time.
Under the agreement, Markham Stouffville Hospital would receive $3.4 million from the region this year; Southlake, $1.7 million and Mackenzie Health Richmond Hill, $1.2 mil-lion.

York Region teachers paused some vol-untary activities in protest to a recently passed law.
This week, the province passed a bill that forces a contract on elementary and secondary teachers across Ontario as well as 50,000 support staff, including those in York Region, bypassing the traditional bar-
gaining process.In response, teacher unions encour-
aged members to wear black and take a pause from extracurricular activities such as school clubs and sports yesterday to pro-test the recent passing of the bill.
The York Region District School Board hasn’t cancelled any scheduled events, according to board spokesperson Licinio Miguelo. He also confirmed the board has
had a range of participation from union members across the region.
“Those activities are anything that don’t fall under the collective agreement,” he said, mentioning the coaching of athletic teams and school clubs. “All of these activi-ties are voluntary and teachers are not required to participate.”
He explained the new bill is still being
Teachers told to wear black, stop coaching as protest

MP bestows 30 Diamond Jubilee medalsRichmond Hill MP Costas Menegakis
honoured 30 individuals with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal Sept. 6 at a special ceremony held at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts.
“I am pleased to honour 30 exception-al individuals — “all have gone above and beyond the call of duty in their daily lives and are committed to making our communi-ties a better place in which to live,” said Mr. Menegakis.
Speaking about the Queen’s 60 years on the throne and her dedication to community, service and society, the MP said: “The Queen has dedicated her entire life to the service of others. Her ideals and devotion to service are an example to all of us, just as those we hon-our have motivated others within their own communities.”
The Diamond Jubilee medal program is a legacy activity that honours Her Majesty and recognizes the service of Canadians from all walks of life and backgrounds who have made significant contributions to their com-munities and Canada.
Some 60,000 Diamond Jubilee medals — to match her 60 years of service — are being given to Canadians throughout the year.

As the first day of school approached, we were inundated with messages from teacher unions criticizing the provin-cial government’s pledge to give itself the power to impose contracts and ban strikes for the next two years.
The unions insisted the move by the government would end up negatively impacting students.
It turns out it was the unions that made that prediction come true.
On the day the Progressive Conser-vatives supported the minority Liberals’ bill, teacher unions announced extracur-ricular activities for students would be curbed.
What happened to ensuring students wouldn’t become pawns in this fight?
Actually, there really is no fight.The move has been made. The bill
received support and was passed.There’s no reason to believe it will be
rescinded, so what’s the point of union leaders asking public school teachers to stop giving their time outside of class-room hours?
What was the point of yesterday’s expected one-day protest by high school teachers?
And what’s the point of Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario president Sam Hammond announcing he’s not
going to put a time limit on work action?How is this protecting students?Sadly, it’s not just students who lose
out. Teachers certainly don’t have to take part in extracurricular activities, because there’s no debating they take place out-side of a teacher’s regular hours of work.
But those who do put in the extra hours do so because they want to; because they love doing it.
Now, as they’re being mandated by their unions to stop, they’re pawns, too.
That will hurt those teachers who are there for all the right reasons.
Whether or not you agree with the province’s bill, which was deemed neces-sary because the public school unions didn’t accept a deal three other teachers unions signed, there comes a time when you have to accept your fate.
The province’s hardball offer was good enough for three other teacher unions, so it should be good enough for the hold-outs, too. It’s hypocritical of the unions to say their moves are made to protect stu-dents when they’re willing to hold them hostage to get what they want.
Chalk this one up as a loss, after sev-eral deals that can only be considered clear-cut victories, and get back to pro-viding students with the best all-around education possible.

m often surprised by people’s attitudes toward the Canada Goose, a bird of which I always thought, based on its name alone, we should be proud.
I even worked for a time in Wawa, Ont., the word Wawa meaning “Land of the Big Goose” (or so the locals told me — maybe they just saw me as some newb from down south they could tell anything to and he’d believe it).
If you’ve ever been up there, you’ll know they’ve erected a great big statue of a goose next to the highway — which I think was essentially a marketing ploy to get motorists to pull into town a bit off the highway so some of their money might fly out of their wallets and into merchants’ cash registers.
The goose adorns all kinds of shops and bars in the town. The masthead of the newspaper I used to work for there featured a goose in flight, as did my business cards — a little pack of which I have kept all these years, even though I, too, eventually flew southward.
(I always thought they should change the name of the paper to the Wawa Gan-der, as in “take a Gander”. Although the paper was actually 50 cents and “buy a Gander” didn’t seem to have the same ring to it.)
Geese beautiful, but sometimes from a distance
Bernie O’Neill
Of course, marketing doesn’t always work and some I’ve spoken to are under the impression Wawa is a collection of gas stations near a giant goose statue, and not the town of 5,000 that’s actually just a kilometre or so up the road.
Closer to home, the Canada Goose has been the unofficial mascot of Main Street Markham for several years, with mini (by Wawa standards) goose statues all around. Although I’m sure some of the business owners are praying their busi-ness doesn’t fly south during an intense construction period along the street that started back in July.
All things being equal, it might do
some good if those of us in need of shoes, clothes, furniture, a restaurant meal, gifts or you name it, flock to their street this fall to help them out.
But back to the geese, as in the real live bird variety, not the statues. Turns out there is such thing as too much of a goose thing, for many York Region resi-dents and communities.
A gaggle of geese waggling across the roadway is a common sight here.
(I always wonder if they are walking so slowly across the road to make a point — as in, we’ve been here for millions of years while you idiots invented cars and paved everything over within the last century, and we haven’t evolved to the point where we naturally evade automo-biles. So you can darned well wait. Honk all you want.)
However, geese overrunning parks is also a common phenomenon, with goose calling cards by the thousands left in their wake. Great fertilizer, I’m sure, but it can detract from humans’ enjoy-ment of the urban outdoors.
A recent story by a Liberal reporter noted a full-grown goose can eat up to three pounds of grass each day and def-ecate five times an hour, dropping two pounds of poop each day.
Enough said.
It also turns out that geese aren’t exactly “Canadian” in their demeanour — if Canadian means being polite, open-ing the door for people, saying please and thank you.
In fact, the geese can be somewhat nasty to people and pets if cornered, which is maybe not the greatest pub-lic relations strategy when you are also doing a number on the lawn.
Which is why, friend or fowl, some communities have been forced to act.
In Richmond Hill, town staff on a weekly basis take part in “hazing” — that is, chasing the geese, sometimes using a dog — to make this protected species feel not so welcome.
They have also been reminding resi-dents to please not feed the fowl. Turns out those loaves of white bread aren’t good for birds, either. It makes them fat and lazy and turns them into “resident geese” — discouraging these naturally migrating birds from going anywhere.
Considering how unCanadian these birds seem to behave, maybe we should let the Americans deal with them for a spell — a least for the winter.
Yes, they are beautiful as little goslings or when they fly overhead in formation, but our parks and parkways can use a break.

After 12 days of Ontario Munici-pal Board testimony on the fate of the David Dunlap Observatory site, the pivotal summation Monday by the lawyer for the Richmond Hill Naturalists came down to about 20 minutes.
Lawyers for the Town of Rich-mond Hill, DDO Defenders and landowner Corsica were not only surprised at the short summary by Virginia MacLean, but by her asser-tion that if one internal boundary on the mediated settlement plan were changed and one small parcel delet-ed, “we have no problem with the policies” [of the settlement].
Corsica lawyer David Bronskill reacted with some irritation, imply-ing that the hours and days of tes-timony provoked by Naturalists — whose stated aim was preserving the entire site from development — was an elaborate waste of time.
“I’m surprised and frustrated ... why did we spend time talking about the eastern side of the site [slated for housing]?” asked Mr. Bronskill. “Now we hear if we remove this area and change a boundary, it’s all fine. Perhaps this all could have been avoided.”
He had spent two hours earlier that morning picking apart the Natu-ralists case, saying their witnesses weren’t well prepared and didn’t bring strong evidence to support stated concerns.
‘TRIUMPH OF MEDIATION’
Mr. Bronskill said the Naturalists exhibited “willful blindness” and had “insulated” themselves, refused to speak to town staff or other parties concerning the settlement, which he called a “triumph of mediation ... offering significant public benefits”.
Jason Cherniak, lawyer for the DDO Defenders advocacy group, which was one of five parties partici-pating in the mediated settlement, which would see half the disputed site given to the town by the devel-oper for a public park, with roughly the other half slated for development for 530 homes, said he was “very sur-prised” at the position the Natural-ists took in their closing submission.
He suggested they could have achieved many of their aims by entering mediation with the other parties, instead of forcing the full OMB hearing.
‘PLEASED WITH SETTLEMENT’
In his closing statement, Mr. Cherniak said “the DDO Defenders are proud of their commitment to protect the observatory lands and ... pleased with the settlement for this historic and green site at the heart of urban Richmond Hill”.
Hearing chairperson, Karlene Hussey, thanked all participants in the hearing for “providing clarity” on the issues, adding “but I will reserve my decision as it’s not yet that clear”. Her judgment could come in weeks or months.
Karen Cilevitz, chairperson of the DDO Defenders, said she was relieved the very long pro-cess was over and has “great faith the board will sift through the evidence and come back to the public with an appropriate decision”.
Marianne Yake, president of the Richmond Hill Naturalists, would not comment at the close of the hearing Monday.
Their lawyer, Ms MacLean, noted in her summation that the Naturalists made the best case they could to save the site “with limited resources available”.
The final summations by law-yers from all parties was almost derailed by a request from the First Nations to be part of the
hearing process. Carolyn King, representing
Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, asked to have native concerns brought to light before the hearing closed. Although per-mitted to read a letter requesting this inclusion, Corsica lawyer Mr. Bronskill, the town’s lawyer Bruce Ketcheson and the hear-ing chairperson all objected to the last-minute request.
“Did you ask to be included in these proceedings? I’m not re-opening this hearing for this purpose,” said Ms Hussey, tell-ing Ms King that if the board grants approval for the settle-ment, native concerns can be considered as part of zoning applications with the town.
Frustration shows at end of lengthy OMB hearingAll parties now wait for decision on fate of observatory
KAREN CILEVITZ: Relieved long OMB process is over and has ‘great faith’ right decision will be made.

Region campaign aims to raise $400K for United Way
BY CHRIS [email protected]
York Regional Police and municipal staff announced Monday a record $400,000 goal for their 2012 United Way employee campaign.
Launching the initiative at the region’s administrative centre in Newmarket, York Region chairperson and chief executive offi-cer Bill Fisch said most of York’s 1.1 million residents are doing well. For those in need, however, United Way of York Region has been a significant and consistent source of help and hope.
“York Region staff give generously to the United Way every year to help the community and make it an even better place to live,” Mr. Fisch said. “By supporting the United Way, we help improve the lives of those in need, wheth-er they are friends, family or neighbours.”
In 2011, York Region surpassed its cam-paign goal and raised $381,000. Since 1999, the region has raised more than $1.8 million for the United Way, he said. Each year, United Way York Region assists more than 270,000 people overcome difficulties through the support of more than 40 community programs.
“Through every United Way campaign, I am amazed at the kindness and commitment employees demonstrate to help others through our fundraising efforts,” environmental servic-es commissioner and campaign co-chairper-son Erin Mahoney said. “This year’s campaign goal is challenging, but not insurmountable. I look forward to seeing everyone pull together, as they have year after year, to reach our goal.”
The region’s campaign theme was also
unveiled. “There’s a hero in all of us” is the campaign slogan, reinforced by “Helping MY community, MY way.”
York Regional Deputy Police Chief and cam-paign co-chairperson Tom Carrique expects this year’s campaign to be the most successful to date.
“Like our EMS colleagues, our front-line police officers see how United Way helps every day, whether it’s seniors, children, victims of violent crime or those with mental health chal-lenges,” he said. “Even a little means a lot to a person in need. Deeds speak.”
United Way chief executive officer Daniele Zanotti is enthused by the region’s fundraising target, one that will hopefully help the organi-zation reach its record $8.26-million goal for 2012.
Momentum is building, Mr. Zanotti said, referring to a new $100,000 leadership chal-lenge grant, monies endowed to United Way by the late Robert Kidd. The grant will match, dollar to dollar, contributions from new and existing donors.
“This is the first time we’ve received a gift this size,” he said. “Mr. Kidd was a longtime friend and donor to United Way and this is sparking people to give. It’s a real driver and inspiration. It doubles the impact of a donation.”
Harkening to his childhood dream of his own tree house, Mr. Zanotti referred to United Way’s strength investment initiatives, including the new Tree Lounge enterprise in Georgina and Mike, a formerly troubled youth and now the project’s lead hand. Passionately, he shared

Weekend art show offers open air feast for eyes
If you are interested in acquiring origi-nal art from local artists, you may want to attend The Ontario Plein Air Society Annual Show and Plein Air Challenge this weekend.
The event is at the JEH MacDonald House at 121 Centre St. in Thornhill. Ontar-io Plein Air Society members will display five rooms of original art.
Even if you are not displaying work, you can come to the event to support the artists.
“Just like the Group of Seven, plein air artists set up their easels in front of their subject, no matter the discomfort, to cap-ture the essence of the Canadian urban, farm and wilderness landscape,” said Keith Thirgood, president of OPAS. Painting “en plein air” is a French term referring to painting “in the open air”.
An artists’ reception is being held tomor-row from 6 to 10 p.m.
The public is invited to come to the OPAS Landscape Art Show, which is part of
the Thornhill Village Festival. The show begins Friday and continues
Saturday from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. and Sunday noon until 5 p.m. when it finishes. Most of the art on display is for sale.
As part of the event, local artists are invited to join OPAS artists on the grounds of the MacDonald House Saturday at 10 a.m. for an OPAS Paint Out Challenge. Artists will have two hours to paint a mas-terpiece.
When the challenge is over, a panel of judges will review all of the works and will be awarding cash and other prizes to the creators of the top paintings of the day.
The public is invited to watch the artists as they create.
Everyone watching the challenge can cast a vote for the People’s Choice Award and/or try to buy any of the art produced.
Participation in the Challenge is $10 for non-OPAS artists, free for members.

f you’ve decided to sell your home, it’s time to start thinking like a buyer. Ask yourself what you can do to improve your home and
property to make it as appealing as possible to potential buyers.
Giving your home ‘curb appeal’ will improve its saleability which is something your realtor can help you with. The Ontario Real Estate As-sociation (OREA) and your local realtor offer the following tips and low cost suggestions to attract potential buyers and to sell your home quickly, for the best possible price.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNTThe outside of the home speaks volumes about
what the inside may look like. Often potential buyers won’t get past the front door if the out-side of a home looks run down or shabby. Your realtor may suggest some simple quick fi xes like applying a fresh coat of paint to the garage door, planting fl owers or shrubs and cleaning the win-dows. Quick fi xes are worth the minimal invest-ment as they not only increase the saleability of your home, but could potentially add value equal to or more than what you spent on them.
With that in mind, your realtor will likely cau-tion you to stick to minor improvements. Big-ger, more expensive renovations or repairs are usually refl ected in a home’s price, so if you’ve done any major updating to your home, you’ll
want to give careful consideration to all of your investments.
What’s most important is that your home looks well-cared for and maintained. Take a close look around the outside of your home and assess what needs to be done. Things like fi xing window screens, replacing the odd loose roof shingle and repairing door hinges are relative-ly simple and advice is available at your local home improvement centre.
MIND THE INSIDETake a tour of the inside of your home to see
what needs to be cleaned, cleared out, or re-paired. Rooms will appear larger and more in-viting when you remove bulky or unused furni-ture and rearrange the remaining pieces to make the best use of space.
You want potential buyers to walk through the house and visualize the space as their own. To help them along, your realtor will suggest that you “depersonalize” your home as much as pos-sible.
Article courtesy of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). A checklist of everything you need to do to pre-
pare your home for sale can be found in the OREA booklet, How to Sell your Home. For a free copy,
contact OREA at 1-800-563-HOME or check with
your local realtor.

Hospice Richmond Hill is recruit-ing volunteers for a fall training ses-sion to start later this month.
Volunteers are needed for in-home visiting, caregiver relief, com-plementary therapy, local driving and office support.
If you’re considering ways to make a difference in your commu-nity, this is one way to get involved. Having a second language is a defi-nite asset.
In the past year, more than 50 volunteers have contributed 1,800 hours of care through hospice in Richmond Hill and Oak Ridges.
In addition to a visiting volunteer program, hospice also offer clients and their caregivers opportunities to participate in wellness programs such as yoga, meditation, pole walk-ing and art therapy.
Caregivers meet monthly to share experiences, encouragement and discuss related topics.
The fall training session begins Thursday, Sept. 27, lasts for 10 weeks and is organized by PalCare Net-work of York Region. It runs Thurs-day evenings from 6 to 9 p.m. at the community police station in Rich-mond Hill.
Interested volunteers complete an application and come in for an interview. Volunteers can expect to share between two to four hours a week with their client.
Some funding for hospice pro-grams — provided to individuals living with a life-threatening illness or experiencing the death of a loved one — is provided by the Ministry of Health.
For more, call 905-884-6683 ext. 221 or e-mail [email protected]. For more on Hos-pice Richmond Hill, visit www.hospicerh.org
Weavers showcase creations
The Burr House Spinners and Weavers Guild invites you to a show-and-tell-style evening Wednesday, Sept. 19, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Guild Hall, 530 Carrville Rd. in Richmond Hill.
Members will showcase their fibre creations, serve refreshments and offer fall course information.
There are numerous fall pro-grams offered, including textile/fibre workshop and weaving class, weav-ing for beginners, tapestry weaving and T-shirt quilting. For more on
fall courses, visit burrhousefiberarts.com or call 905-884-0327.
The Hill Potters Guild offers 10-week courses at the Guild Hall starting in September. The $300 fee includes all supplies and firing in the kilns.
A handbuilding class runs Tues-day evenings from 7 to 10 p.m.; a wheel throwing class is offered Wednesday evenings from 7 to 10 p.m.
To register, call Kathy at 905-751-0051.
Training sessions for hospice volunteers start soon

The yet-to-be-built Mackenzie Health Vaughan hospital is poised to receive its full allotment of $5.8 million.
If the hospitals meet the turnaround target this year, they will get about $540,000 back.
It’s not fair the new hospital is sched-uled to receive 100 per cent of its share of
funding, since there is no way to measure past performance, Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti said.
“It really hurts the existing hospitals,” he said, adding the region can’t expect
an emergency room built for 100,000 people to effi-ciently serve 300,000 people.
“I can’t speak for other hospitals, but you go to Markham Stouffville Hospital and you feel like you are sitting in MASH the movie, with people sitting on gurneys everywhere,” he said. “It’s crazy.”
Markham Stouffville Hospital is undergoing a $400-million redevelopment, scheduled for comple-tion in 2014.
The hospital only agreed to the funding formula because it needs the money for the expansion “so desperately”, said Mr. Scarpitti, who is a director of the hospital foundation.
“They’ve been operating in such horrible condi-tions, particularly the emergency services, they’ve done the best job they can,” he said.
Markham Stouffville Hospital president and CEO Janet Beed was unavailable for comment.
Mr. Scarpitti said he wasn’t suggesting the agree-ment be altered, but that the $540,000 be kept in a special hospital reserve.
York contributes 22 per cent of hospital capital costs. The remaining funds come from the province (65 per cent) and community sources (13 per cent).
Since 2009, the region’s contribution has increased from $8 million to $13 million.
Discussion about whether or not to fund the new hospital was controversial and in the end, it was decided 2 per cent of taxes would go to fund all hos-pitals, regional chairperson Bill Fisch said.
That’s $12 a year from each person in York Region, he said.
In addition, the region receives $1.2 million from the province each year to provide nursing services at hospitals to reduce delays, which is common across the province, York CAO Bruce Macgregor said.
King Mayor Steve Pellegrini argued these are hospital issues, not regional issues, but said they can only be solved if money is involved.
“Money solves a lot of issues, especially when you take it away,” he said.
Capital funding aside, Southlake staff has been working “aggressively” with EMS to decrease turn-around delays, the hospital’s vice-president of acute services and quality Helena Hutton said.
With an “offload delay” target of 30 minutes for the ambulance time hospitals control, Southlake averaged 38 minutes in 2010, 34 minutes in 2011 and so far this year, 23 minutes.
The region’s community and health services com-mittee approved the funding agreement yesterday.
The agreement goes before regional council for approval Sept. 20.

Eight GO shuttle and high school special bus routes in York Region could be axed if regional council endorses the YRT/Viva 2013 annual service plan Sept. 20.
A total of 41 routes have been identified for restructuring, sched-ule adjustments and elimination of duplicate or overlapping service.
About 25 routes are proposed for some form of decreased service, be it reduced hours or discontinuation.
Overall recommendations out-lined in the service plan, which include two new routes, are estimat-ed to save $2 million in 2013.
Proposed changes will affect school specials, GO shuttles, con-tracted TTC routes operating north of Steeles Avenue and YRT routes with low ridership.
School specials on the chop-ping board include routes to Father Michael McGivney Catholic Acad-emy, Markham District High School, Huron Heights Secondary School and a route from Stouffville to Unionville High School, Bill Crothers Secondary School and Markham District.
GO shuttles on the way out include three serving the Aurora, Newmarket and North Richvale GO stations.
The changes would be imple-mentated in April.

York public school board seeksinput on electoral boundaries
The York Region District School Board wants to hear from you regarding trustee electoral areas.
The public school board is reviewing the areas before making recommendations to the Education Ministry regarding the elec-toral area boundaries due to the growth in the region.
Four public information sessions are scheduled.
Gladki Planning Associates and Partners in Community Building will present the information and six options for the boundar-ies and collect comments at each meeting.
The input will be used to make a recom-mendation to the school board to decide on later in the year.
For more information about the review, including up-to-date reports, visit yrdsb.edu.on.ca
Public meetings:• Sept. 27, Markville Secondary School, 7
to 9 p.m.• Sept. 29, Richmond Hill High School, 10
a.m. to noon• Sept. 29, Keswick High School, 2 to 4
p.m.• Oct. 4, Maple High School, 7 to 9 p.m.
reviewed by the board but some aspects of the collective agreement still need to be negotiated and those talks continue.
“The passage of this law is undem-ocratic and unprecedented and was unnecessary,” Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation president Ken Coran said.
He claims this gives Education Minister Laurel Broten power over the negotiations process and takes away the ability of the union and elected school board trustees to engage in the traditional collective bargaining pro-cess that has been successful for many years.
The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario encouraged its 76,000 mem-bers to carry the pause past one day to protest the move it feels strips teachers of their democratic rights.
“We do not take this action lightly,” federation president Sam Hammond said. “Ontarians and the government need to know that you cannot take away the democratic rights of work-ing people simply to fulfill a political party’s agenda or ideology.”
The federation did not impose spe-cifics surrounding the pause, leaving it up to teachers to determine how long and how much time they refrain from participating in coaching and club activities.

Home sales in the GTA may have dropped 12.5 per cent in August, but the average sell-ing price was up by 6.5 per cent, according to the latest real estate figures.
In York, the average price was $592,552, compared to the average price of $468,792 in the rest of the Greater Toronto Area.
The number of new listings reported for the month was down 5.5 per cent compared to the same period last year.
With both sales and new listings declin-
ing, market conditions remained tight with “substantial” competition between buyers in the low-rise market segment, Jason Mer-cer, senior manager of market analysis with the Toronto Real Estate Board, said.
“The trends for sales and new listings are moving somewhat in synch, suggesting that the relationship between sales and listings will continue to promote price growth mov-ing forward,” he said.

Experts have transformed two private residential yards from sod to sustainable gardens featuring rain gardens, soakaways (dry river beds), native plants and trees, plus high-capacity rain barrels.
One design caters to busy commuters, while the other to a growing family with
young children. Visitors can admire these new front yards
between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. during a com-munity fair featuring refreshments and information booths from local agencies.
Experts from Richmond Hill’s Healthy Yards program, York Region’s Water for Tomorrow program and the yard makeover sponsors will give you lots of ideas on what you can do in your own front yard.
Tadpole Park is at the end of Balliol Ave-nue (east off of Bayview Avenue between Stouffville and Bethesda roads).

Richmond Hill’s Mona Al Sha-rari and coach Brian Lindsay celebrate her swim across the English Channel Saturday.
BY MICHAEL [email protected]
As a young girl growing up, Mona Al Sharari had a dream of one day swimming across the English Channel.
For Al Sharari, now a 17-year-old Richmond Hill resident and member of the Markham Aquatic Club, her dream turned to fruition Sat-urday.
Starting out from Shake-speare Bay in England well before sunrise, Al Sharari completed her journey when she landed just north of their original destination at Cap Griz-Nez, France during the daylight hours in a time of 13 hours, eight minutes.
In successfully crossing the English Channel in just her first go at it, an elated Al Sha-rari said her accomplishment also provided her with an added jolt of self esteem.
“It feels pretty great,” Al Sharari, a Grade 12 Jean Vanier Catholic High School student, said. “What it did was to give me the confidence that I can do whatever I set my mind to. I’m very proud of myself.”
In deciding to take the big plunge, Al Sharari first approached Brian Lindsay, her former Markham Aquatic Club coach who began help-ing her early last year.
Lindsay was confident she would put in the necessary training time to prepare her-self for the swim.
What he couldn’t guage though, was how she would react from a psychological perspective and adverse con-ditions, such as high winds or cold temperatures.
“It was amazing. Physi-cally, I knew she could do it. Mentally, was the question that only she had the answer for,” Lindsay said. “One has to be tough to deal with 15 to 16 degree celsius water tem-
peratures, changing tides and currents and waves.
“Fortunately, the waves were not big, which was good for her swim. We just had to deal with the shipping traffic on the English Channel.”
In preparing for Al Sharari’s swim, Lindsay received some vital information from several people who have attempted to swim the English Channel in the past, including the fact the first couple of hours would present the biggest challenge.
“What we were told was right on as, Mona started her swim in darkness at 3:16 a.m. and she struggled the first two hours. The water was cold and she couldn’t see anything.
“Then the sun rose and the outside temperature got a little warmer. We provided her with warm drinks to keep her feel-ing warm during her feedings. They were every half hour after the first hour of the swim,” he said.
What helped her get through the journey, Al Sharari said, was thinking how much fun swimming has been.
“It was about loving what I do. If I wasn’t enjoying the journey, then it would have been extremely hard to con-tinue on,” she said.
Her swim also raised money for Oxfam Canada.

BY JIM QUANCETo meet the growing popularity of dou-
bles squash, the Richmond Hill Squash Club broke ground Saturday on the first doubles squash court in the area.
The expansion will increase the size of the club, adding to the four singles courts at its site on Ohio Road.
This is great news, according to club founder and honourary life member Doug Allen and the club’s board of directors.
Squash is growing in popularity, espe-cially doubles squash, involving two players on each team.
Construction begins immediately. The ground-breaking ceremony was attended by Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Barrow and the Culture, Recreation and Sport Minister Michael Chan, who took turns turning the sod with a golden spade.
Mr. Allen started the club in Richmond
Hill, after being denied an out-of-town membership at a Toronto club in the mid-1960s.
He founded the Richmond Hill Racquet Club — now known as the Richmond Hill Squash Club — after placing advertise-ments in The Liberal newspaper seeking squash enthusiasts.
About 25 new members, some with little to no knowledge of the sport, paid member-ship and initiation fees, resulting in a start-ing capital of $5,000 and a serious search for a club site began.
Earl Cameron, a senior CBC newscaster and Bud Cable, a local entrepreneur, owned a small slice of land on Ohio Road, which was for sale for $13,000. They reduced the price to $11,000 after both were offered life-time memberships in the club.
In 1968, the club went to tender to build one court and associated facilities and,
in 1969, then -mayor Tom Broadhurst and mayor-elect Bill Lazenby participated in a sod-turning ceremony.
Many of the members helped with the construction, especially the interior finishes, and the club opened in 1970.
The original board of directors included Joe Horvat, Gary Chatfield, Ted Moritsugu, Bev Cook, John Wachna, Donald Strupat, Marvin Abrams, Roy Jones, Christopher Hart and Mr. Allen as founding president.
The club proved to be very popular. Before long, squash instruction was pro-vided to members’ children and work began on a second court.
As women became more involved and more vital within the club, a vote was taken in 1976 and female members were permit-ted.
Among the outstanding women who contributed so much to the success of the club were Nancy Moritsugu, Sylvia Gilchrist, the first female club president, Marilyn Kelly, Ruth Maclean and Kathleen Crosbie.
In 1981, the club celebrated the grand opening of two new courts, then, during the ensuing years, the existing courts were renovated and converted to international calibre courts.
In June, 2010, the club celebrated its 40th anniversary and continues to experience growth with new members.

BY STEPHEN KEARSEYou may have seen a group of about 50
children congregating in Baif Park near Hill-crest Mall every Thursday.
They weren’t just hanging around; the youths age 5 to 12 were enjoying a free drop-in soccer program.
The program was run by a small group of volunteers and overseen by St. Paul’s Luther-an Church.
It was founded by Renate Torok as part of the inSPYRE — St. Paul’s Youth Recreation and Education — community outreach program.
Four volunteers were assigned to two fields for younger and older kids, a few others pro-vided water and snacks at the sidelines.
Dasio Catala, 17, was one of the younger volunteers. Now a high school graduate, he became involved with the program last year because he needed compulsary volunteer community hours in order to graduate.
However, he continued to participate in the drop-in soccer program because “working with kids is amazing, it’s fun.”
Mr. Catala said the participants were often “balls of energy”.
Along with the other volunteers, Mr. Catala acted as a referee and a guide, but not in a for-mal soccer camp counsellor capacity.
“Some people think it’s drills and stuff, but it’s not. That’s the good part: it’s just fun, just come and play.”
As well as fun, many participants took away some basic playing skills from the sum-mer program and possibly a desire to play in future.
Mr. Catala said he enjoyed learning to work with the children and under the direc-tion of other people.
The drop-in program has wrapped up for another season. For more information, visit www.dropinsoccer.net
