June has been one the wettest months in recent York Region history. From torrential downpours to steady drizzle, we seemed to have experienced every possible form of precipitation.

We’ve put our soggy June in perspective by the numbers:

After our parched May, the sky opened and we got a June with “gully wash-ers” and heavy doses of rain, Envi-ronment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips said. While June is typically our soggiest month, the 2015 version was a brute, he said. Along with near-record rainfall, the weather included gusting winds up to 50 km/hr and unsea-sonable low temperatures in the mid to high teens.

“Our first full day of summer (June 21) reminded us of what our winter was like,” Phillips mused. “The good news is that it can’t get much worse.”

“We’re an optimistic bunch and it’s early in the season,” opined King Ward 6 Councillor Avia Eek who works with her husband, Bill, a third gen-eration Holland Marsh farmer. “It’s been a chal-lenging June,” said Eek, whose farm grows carrots

and onions. “Mother Nature isn’t always the best business partner.”

“June is a month we’d like to forget,” St. Andrews’ director of golf Rob Pearce said. “It was out of our control. We didn’t flood

because the course drains well.”

Like their public counterparts, Ontario’s Catholic teachers are now experiencing some labour grief of their own.

The Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association, the union representing Ontar-io’s 50,000 Catholic teachers, announced last week it has filed for conciliation.

Conciliation is a process where a union or an employer asks the Ministry of Labour for help to resolve their differences to reach a collective agreement, a ministry website said.

If in negotiations, the union or employer must go through the conciliation process before they are allowed to participate in a strike or lock-out.

The union said it has not been able to reach a deal following negotiations with the government and the Ontario Catholic School Trustees’ Association.

“We are frustrated by the lack of progress and with the intransigence of the govern-ment and the trustees on a range of extreme-ly important issues,” union president James Ryan said in a media release.

“They want to unilaterally wipe out parts of our collective agreement. We must protect our members and our students’ learning conditions.”

Public elementary school teachers have been participating in an escalating work-to-rule campaign since May 11.

Public high school teachers went on strike

Catholic teachers file for conciliation

in some areas of the province, including Dur-ham and Peel regions, before being ordered back to work.

The Catholic teachers’ union is hoping to avoid labour disruptions, Ryan said.

“OECTA members have been without a new contract for one year and we are dis-couraged with the slow pace of negotia-tions,” he said,

“We are optimistic that filing for concili-ation will provide the impetus necessary for meaningful negotiations to continue and that we can avoid disruption to classes in the fall.”

‘WE WILL FEEL THE IMPACT ACROSS EVERYTHING’BY LISA QUEEN

[email protected]

n just two decades — from 2011 to 2031 — York Region’s senior population will increase by 148 per cent, almost four times faster than the growth rate of the overall population.

That changes everything.From societal shifts to family dynam-

ics, from health care to the workplace, from housing to transportation and more, there are few areas and services that will remain untouched by the unprecedented greying demographics.

“We will feel the impact right across everything we do in York Region. We will feel the impact right across every service we pro-vide,” said Lisa Gonsalves, director of strate-gies and partnerships with York Region’s community and health services department.

“We still have to tap in and see how do we support that group?”

Last week, regional council approved a seniors strategy task force, which will come up with recommendations to address the needs of seniors and their impact on areas such as long-term care, paramedic services, land-use planning, public health and trans-portation.

There were just fewer than 125,700 seniors aged 65 and older living in the region in 2011, making up 12 per cent of the population, according to a new report called Towards a Seniors Strategy for York Region.

For the complete story, visit yorkregion.com

By 2031, there will be more than 311,250 seniors and they will comprise 21 per cent of the population.

Not only are seniors the fastest growing segment of the population, but York seniors are living longer than the provincial and national averages, thanks, in part, to the region’s high quality of life.

The life expectancy in York is 84.1 years — 85.8 years for women and 82.2 years for men — compared to 81.5 years in Ontario and 81.1 years in Canada.

So, what does the face of aging in York Region look like today and for the huge swell of boomers now moving into their golden years?

A snapshot, based on a regional report called A Profile of Baby Boomers and Seniors in York Region, which gathered information from a variety of sources, such as 2006 and 2011 censuses, the National Household Sur-vey, the Canadian Community Health Survey and reports from governments and non-government organizations, shows:Overall, boomers have a higher level

of education than seniors, but both groups are interested in continuing their educations and pursuing learning opportunities.More York Region residents aged 55

and older are working or looking for work than the national and provincial rates.Boomers and seniors provide more

than half the volunteer hours in Ontario, with their primary reason being the desire to contribute to their communities.

boomersA 3-part series discussing

York Region’s growing senior population, the contributions they

make, the services they need and the caregivers who provide support

&

Boomers are more likely than previous generations to pursue second careers after retirement and they are more technology-savvy.Seniors are wealthier than previous

generations, which is likely to prompt finan-cially strapped governments to see them as having more ability to pay for services.At the same time, there are signs of

financial stress. The banking industry warns Canadian boomers don’t have enough sav-ings for retirement and many boomers and seniors are carrying debt, raising questions about their long-term financial security. Company pensions providing guaranteed incomes are becoming increasingly rare.The York Region Food Network says

more seniors are facing food insecurity.The vacancy rate for rental housing for

seniors in York has decreased since 2011.About half of York seniors and boomers

say they are in good or excellent health.Seniors report more chronic condi-

tions such as arthritis and high blood pres-sure than boomers.Calls to EMS from seniors and boom-

ers are increasing.Dementia among York seniors is

expected to increase rapidly over the next 20 years.Cases of serious elder abuse, including

assault, criminal harassment, robbery and threats, increased between 2008 and 2012.With no new long-term care facilities

being built, there will be increased demands on local levels of government, community organizations, families and seniors to care for aging residents.In 2011, immigrants made up 45 per

cent of York’s population, a number that will grow during the next two decades.

Not content to sit on the porch in their rocking chairs, seniors and boomers are changing the face of aging, experts said.

“There was once a perception you reach 65, you retire, you settle in a little bit and your health declines. Boomers, as they’re getting into their seniors years, are still as active as they were when they were 50 and 45,” Gonsalves said.

HOW TO REACH US HOT TOPIC: Lyme diseaseq SEND A LETTER to editor Ted Mc-

Fadden at [email protected] on this or any other subject that matters most to you.

Need more awareness of Lyme disease

Re: Lyme sufferers desperate for answers, treatment, June 25.

As a fellow Lyme sufferer, I praise Shari Allen and her husband, Craig, for publicly sharing their story about Lyme disease.

Many of us quietly and informally have been raising awareness by discussing with family and friends, however, it takes a lot of energy and courage to put yourself out there publicly.

It is refreshing to read an article on Lyme that is well informed and balanced. It is also a great benefit to our region that we now have Dr. Angela Lee, who specializes in tick-borne illnesses. Her two mentors, Dr. Mau-reen McShane and Dr. Richard Horowitz, are both highly respected American Lyme-literate doctors and many of us in Canada are patients to one of these doctors.

It is true that many in Canada are suf-fering from Lyme, diagnosed and undi-agnosed. Unlike Shari, I likely contracted Lyme in Canada, in Algonquin Park in 1989 (but diagnosed in 2010).

Others I know have similarly likely con-tracted the disease in Ontario — Peterbor-ough, Parry Sound, Scarborough (Bluffs), just to name a few locations.

It’s not coming here, it is here, and we need much more awareness and change to deal with it. Political change has started at both the provincial and federal levels.

I spend upwards of $30,000 a year to deal with this illness, not counting lost income. I have multiple doctors, both MDs and NDs, and other therapists.

I am very lucky that I have a supportive husband and teenage children, extended family and friends; many are not so lucky. But like our country’s ability to deal with this very serious infectious disease, I have a long way to go.

Thank you, Shari and Craig Allen, your courage in moving us forward is commend-able.

Ann SiSkoSNEwmarkEt

here’s been no shortage of electoral reform dis-cussion as of late.

In Ontario, Kath-leen Wynne’s Liberal

government has announced it will permit municipalities to imple-ment “ranked ballots” for the next municipal election.

I think this is great news on a few fronts and may be one of the single most important changes to our electoral system in decades.

For those not aware of how ranked ballots work, it is quite simple. If there are multiple can-didates running for an office, you rank them in order of your pref-erence. Should your first choice receive the lowest number of votes, he or she drops off the ballot and your second choice now receives your vote. This keeps happening until one candidate emerges with at least 50 per cent of votes.

Implementing ranked ballots at the municipal level — where we have embarrassingly low voter turnouts that hover around 30 per cent — will have a large impact in electing candidates who have broad public support. There have been numerous candidates in York Region who have been elected with less than 10 per cent of eligi-ble voters casting a ballot for them. Think about that for a moment; that is hardly a mandate of support for a campaign platform.

The fact of the matter is our current “first past the post” system allows for candidates to assume office with a tiny percentage of people supporting them and that fact is simply wrong and undemo-cratic. Ranked ballots allow the electorate to arrive at consensus candidates.

Imagine a campaign where candidates won’t just be cam-paigning for your vote, but they’ll also be campaigning to be your second or third choice.

Think of how that, alone, could change the tone and tenor of elec-tions. My sense is that we will see more civil election campaigns that have a greater focus on the issues and policies rather than ad hom-inem attacks.

The electorate is growing tired of negative attack-style campaigns and the proliferation of social media has, in my mind, increased

the vitriol we see in our elections.Ranked ballots reward can-

didates who have broad-based platforms that speak to the widest spectrum of the electorate.

Finally, we could have a system in place that encourages civility instead of our current system that has devolved into systematic nega-tive campaigns.

I know I will have my critics in my support for ranked ballots. I suspect they will oversimplify my argument implying I want all candidates to get along and hold hands singing Kumbaya. I am not naïve, there will always be differ-ences of opinions and thoughts, criticisms of other campaigns and candidates and, frankly, there should always be. However, can-didates who focus on negative attacks and not building bridges in their communities in an attempt to gain the widest support base will be challenged to win and I’m OK with that and suspect most voters would be.

The Ontario government will give municipalities the option to have ranked ballots. Some may opt-in, some may not.

This is the biggest flaw in the government’s proposal. It is the right thing to do for democracy and, hence, should be implement-ed in every single municipality. A change to the electoral system requires education and rolling out something like that should be done on a provincewide basis and not piecemeal.

t was hard to wipe the smiles off the faces of King’s elected officials a week ago as Magna International’s plans became clear.

The auto parts giant, which will move its global headquarters to King City by late fall 2017 from Aurora, unveiled preliminary drawings and diagrams for the public to see on June 22.

To say King councillors, staff and members of the public appeared impressed would be an understatement.

The 200,000-square-foot, three-storey, L-shaped office will centre on the corner of King Road and Jane Street, while a link to a

Sense of excitement surrounds Magna’s impending arrival

I

120,000-square-foot, 20-metre high research and development facility along Jane will comple-ment the office.

To top it off, there will be a cou-

Tim Kelly

ple of ball diamonds, a pool and a soccer pitch for employees to use on the 40-acre compound.

A further 65 acres the company owns along King and Jane will be undeveloped for now, but plans are to bring along other Magna-friendly tenants in the future.

“I’m just sitting here wondering if your white horses are parking outside,” said King City Councillor Cleve Mortelliti, who represents the ward in which Magna will locate.

“I’m ecstatic and I know all of council are and I’m thinking, I was on council when Magna came to King,” continued Mortelliti. “This is just fantastic and you’re hitting

all the right notes with everything that you’re saying,” he said about the presentation from Magna’s consultants.

“The community is very happy with everything that we’re seeing so far,” he said.

Councillor Debbie Schaefer added her praise for Magna’s pre-sentation.

“I saw a lot of big smiles out there,” she said.

A few minor points were raised: one was regarding excess lighting from the office, the other use of fields by the community. Magna said it would look into both issues. Neither seemed much of a concern next to the

625 jobs the office complex will locate in King in a couple of years and the spinoff benefits those jobs will bring to the township as well.

Councillor Linda Pabst, who has been on council for 21 years, said: “I have seen a lot of things come and go in King Township, but we’re so proud of Magna com-ing here. It’s the highlight of King City and King Township.”

For Mayor Steve Pellegrini, Magna is the “jewel in the crown of King. It is our great fortune that they’re staying here (in York Region). I couldn’t be prouder. It really is setting King above the rest.”

Magna International will move its global headquarters to King City by late fall 2017.

Spoil a mosquito’s dinner plansWest Nile virus

Fight the Bite…What is West Nile virus?West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne virus that is spread to humansfrom the bite of an infectedmosquito.

What are the symptoms of West Nile virus?Most people infected with West Nile virus have no symptoms orhave flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches andfatigue. Sometimes West Nile virus can cause severe illness includingmeningitis and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain).Symptoms usually develop between two and 15 days after beingbitten by an infectedmosquito.

Who is at risk for West Nile virus?Everyone who is outside during the summer months is at risk forWest Nile virus and should take precautions to avoid being bitten bymosquitoes. People with chronic illnesses and the elderly should beespecially careful.

What York Region Is Doing…The York RegionWest Nile virus Control Plan for 2015 includesmosquito-control activities (larviciding), public education, andmosquito and human surveillance.

What is larviciding?Larviciding is a low-risk and effective measure for the control ofWest Nile virus. The slow-release pellet formulation interferes withthe mosquito lifecycle, preventing the mosquito larva from reachingmaturity. Larvicide is not sprayed and will be applied into the standingwater of catch basins in four phases from June through September.

Will York Region apply larvicide on private property?If you are concerned about catch basins on your property, place amesh screen over the catch basin to prevent mosquitoes from enteringand exiting. A limited number of backyard catch basins located onprivate property will be treated with larvicide on a case-by-case basis.

What You Can Do…Prevention and protection are the best ways to protect yourself andyour family fromWest Nile virus.

Clean upThe best way to keepmosquitoes away is to clean-up areas ofstanding water where they like to breed. Look around your house andproperty and get rid of places that are “mosquito friendly”.• Clean up and empty containers where water collects (old tires, tincans, flower pots, etc.)

• Change water in bird baths weekly• Remove water that collects on pool covers• Turn over items such as wading pools, wheelbarrows andsmall boats

• Clear leaves and twigs from eavestroughs, storm and roof gutters• Unclog drainage ditches so that water flows freely• Make sure swimming pool pumps are circulating water• Clear out dense shrubbery where mosquitoes like to rest• Turn over compost frequently• Check that door and window screens are tight-fitting and ingood repair

• Drill holes in the bottoms of containers so water can’t collect

Cover upMosquitoes are most active between dusk and dawn. Protect yourselfand your family• Wear light-coloured, long-sleeved shirts and pants• Consider using federally-registered insect repellents on exposed

skin, such as those containing DEET• Always follow product instructions• The concentration of DEET should be no greater than 30 per cent foradults and no greater than 10 per cent for children

• DEET-based repellents can also be used on top of clothing. Do notuse repellents under clothing

• Several DEET-free botanical repellents are federally registered butprovide a shorter time of effectiveness.

York Region Community and Health Services does not recommend the use of bat boxes as an effective method for mosquito control as bats inYork Region have tested positive for rabies in past summers.

hat do you think of the large provin-cial toll road running east/west being planned just south of Nobleton?

King residents are being asked to comment before July 31, regarding

their views on a proposed six-lane, toll highway to be built immediately south of King Township and run-ning from Hwy. 400, west to Bolton and ending in Milton.

Options for three routes and the locations of vari-ous interchanges in our area are now identified and your input is very much needed.

The purpose of this article is to provide interested parties with access to information and to the project team that is carrying out the study.

The main website is www.gta-west.com.From the homepage, go to “What’s New” at the

bottom left and choose the “Public Information Centres and Community Workshops” page.

Scroll down to find the overall map of the study area for the route.

See the section show-ing “Materials from Community Workshop #2” below the map and choose Presentation 5 to find the explanations regarding the options and trade-offs in the King area. This section includes detailed maps showing the options for routes now being considered and the proposed locations for interchanges at Hwy. 27 and Pine Valley or Weston Road.

This is followed by a series of questions for which the team is requesting your comments. You will note that two connections to 427 are proposed and that routes seven, eight and nine are shown. How and where should the road cross the Humber River in the Nashville Conservation Reserve, which route should be used between Hwy. 400 and Bolton and where should what type of interchange be built? Why and why not? Have you other options to suggest?

The province sees the building of this major trans-portation corridor as a vital undertaking in providing the transportation infrastructure to meet coming growth in population and employment.

The route options now being proposed include one that passes very near the southern parts of Noble-ton and another that passes right through a Nature Conservancy area near King Vaughan Road. Note how far away the options are from Kleinburg.

Meaningful public and stakeholder consultation is important in shaping the outcome of this study. King Township staff and politicians are part of this process.

The sustainability advisory committee encourages you to review the contents of the corridor website and provide the GTA team with your feedback. If you wish to be added to their mailing list or submit comments or questions, please go to the Contact Us page.

The team can also be reached toll free at 1-877-522-6916. You are encouraged to express your con-cerns, answer the questions posed by the team and propose alternatives now to ensure our input is taken into account as the planning continues and decisions are made.

Let the team know what you think and help sus-tain King.

You can smell long before you see what Jo Mele is up to.

The buttery scent of popping kettle corn, its aroma drifting in the warm summer air, draws you closer and closer to the delectable treats.

Then, after trying just a sampler of the outdoor, weekend treat, you’re hooked. You just have to have some more.

Auntie Jo has you.“Here it is, right out of the kettle, try some,”

Mele says recently to an eager observer as a big batch of the steaming popped corn is poured into a vat.

What can you say except… ummmm-mm… it’s so good.

The kettle corn is made with mushroom popcorn, corn oil, sea salt and cane sugar. Nothing else.

The mushroom popcorn is an important ingredient giving the corn its pop. It differs from movie popcorn, which Mele says is but-terfly popcorn.

“Mushroom popcorn is fluffier and light-er,” the Holland Landing native added.

Auntie Jo’s, which includes a few other staff besides the company’s namesake, hits the festival circuit in Ontario every weekend in the summer. She doesn’t sell her kettle corn in stores as that would require bar codes

and other issues.So if you want to taste her kettle corn,

you’ll have to hit a festival, like music nights in Aurora on Wednesdays or other events round Ontario.

Follow your nose to Auntie Jo’s kettle corn

We need to take your pulse. Yes, that’s right, your pulse.

The questions are simple and all we ask is that you give us a little of your time. Did we mention there is a grand prize of $5,000? And two prizes of $1,000 and three prizes of $500? Not bad for filling out a survey.

hen you entered a room with Allison Zeppieri in it, you knew it.

“She had a very striking personality, not to mention her beauty,” her father, Frank, said. “People were just drawn to her. She was a charming young woman.”

These were far from her only qualities, according to Frank, who further explained how sensitive, creative and caring she was with her family and friends.

“She was always writing letters, she was really great at expressing herself,” he added. “She loved peo-ple and she could laugh at herself, so people really loved her.”

However, Frank noted with a chuckle, if you were to watch Alli-son playing hockey, you may never know any of that.

Until the age of 13, Allison played with the boys and only began playing with girls teams in her teenage years.

When on the ice, he said, she was both determined and intense.

Relaying one story, he explained how during a game in Grade 8 while playing with boys, she would eventually become fed up with one player who would not stop taunt-ing her.

Although he said she managed to keep away from him most of the game, she finally had enough and body checked him so hard that he was left lying on the ice for five minutes.

She was subsequently suspend-ed for the rest of the season.

People were drawn to Allison ZeppieriW

It was this intensity and her skill level that allowed Allison to get letters of intent for hockey scholar-ships from Ivy League universities, including Princeton.

“Her coaches loved her, she would go out there and do any-thing they asked of her,” he said. “In the end though, she just wasn’t really that into it all.”

Frank said her real passion was art, explaining just how creative she was, searching for examples of her handwriting, which he said was flawless, a work of art in itself.

These were just some of the qualities that more than 800 people turned up to celebrate at her funer-al, which took place days after her passing on June 7.

“I will remember her love and smile the most,” he said. “Father’s Day was especially rough for me, this is something that will be with me for the rest of my life. It’s hard to lose any child. It’s very tough to accept, she had her whole future ahead of her.”

Allison died after struggling with an eating disorder and the mental health issues she endured during the past several years.

She died after complications relating to those disorders, accord-ing to Frank.

He said he wanted to warn others of the dangers of eating disorders and urged parents to better understand what is going on with their children, noting that some trends can have fatal conse-quences.

“I think it’s an important thing to be aware of and recognize,” he said. “You hear about it, but you

don’t really know it or understand it until it’s in your home. As a parent, you’re always feeling guilty that you didn’t do enough to help, because that’s your job, right? You’re always asking yourself, was there any-thing I could have done or did I do enough?”

Allison played for a number

of hockey teams including the Vaughan Flames, Vaughan Pan-thers, Aurora Panthers, Markham Stouffville Junior Stars and the Uni-versity of Windsor women’s varsity hockey team.

She also attended Roselawn Public School and was an honours student at Alexander Mackenzie

High School in her hometown of Richmond Hill.

Allison is also survived by her mother, Lucy, brother, James, and sisters, Michelle and Carolyn.

Her father asks that any dona-tions be granted to Mackenzie Health – mental health unit.
