or some parents, the most important part of a playground lies beneath their child’s feet.
Richmond Hill resident Erin Weinroth enjoys bringing her children to Oak Ridges’ Russell Tilt Park in part because it has a soft play surface rather than wood chips or pave-ment.
“If they fall, they are not going to get as hurt,” she says. Woodbridge’s Sonoma Heights Park appeals to Stephanie
Mora.“It has soft surfaces so I don’t have to clean a child full of
sand,” she says of the park at 100 Sunset Ridge. Netaly Brand dislikes the ground at her neighbourhood
playground in Thornhill.“The ground is dirty, no one does upkeep,” she says.Brand will not allow her 11-month-old son to crawl around
at the York Hill District Park (in the Bathurst Street and Clark Avenue area) because it is “mucky”, filled with leaves and rocks, she says. But she does allow her son to crawl in newer playgrounds made of soft materials, such as recycled tires.
Her family often enjoys Saturday afternoon trips to the North Thornhill Community Centre’s park.
“The ground is soft for falls, the splash pad is large and has places for crawlers with smaller sprouts of water and bigger areas for bigger kids,” she says.
Parks that cater to multiple ages are often a hit with par-ents. Brand finds it easier to entertain and look after her sons, age three and 11 months, at the North Thornhill Community Centre’s park, rather than at York Hill District Park.
Her local park has play equipment for two different ages spaced too far apart, she says.
“If you have children of two different ages, you will have to divide and conquer,” Brand says.
She signed a petition calling for changes to her local playground and it was emailed to Thornhill Councillor Alan Shefman.
Changes to the playground are in the works, according to Shefman. The City of Vaughan plans to redevelop York Hill District Park’s playground and basketball court areas. Vaughan held a community information open house to dis-cuss the plan in March. A new playground will be installed as a first step in the park’s renewal, Shefman says.
Themes are one trend jazzing up some new, local parks.Richmond Hill’s Rocking Horse Ranch opened on June 10
and was designed using a horseback-riding theme. The Snakes and Ladders Park (north of 19th Avenue and
west of Bayview Avenue in Richmond Hill) will include a life-size and tabletop Snake & Ladders game board.
Richmond Hill’s Rouge Crest Park, which opened Aug. 4, has a nature theme. The park has a spiral hill, which leads visi-tors up one path and down the other, moving them through rifts of native wildflowers. The park is at 147 Rothbury Rd., which is west of Yonge Street and south of Gamble Road.
In Newmarket, home to 52 playgrounds and 46 km of trails, themed parks are also taking shape.
BEST PLACES TO PLAY
Chris Kalimootoo, director of public works in Newmarket, has seen a change in today’s parks.
“They are different, exciting, more creative versus 10 or 20 years ago,” Kalimootoo says. Back then, you couldn’t tell one park’s swing from another.
Newmarket is looking at introducing play equipment with a chicken farm theme in the Bathurst Street and Davis Drive area next year.
In addition to themed parks, accessible parks are becom-ing more prevalent.
Kalimootoo points to the accessible All Our Kids Play Park in Newmarket, which includes buried dinosaur bones.
Darriel Broughton enjoys spending time with his son at a playground at Keswick’s R.L. Graham Public School that
is accessible for children with disabilities. Its design makes it easier for smaller kids to climb up the slides, a feature enjoyed by his two-year-old son, who does not have special needs, but loves visiting the park on an almost daily basis.
But what about the price tag? How much would it cost for a great park to be built in your neighbourhood?
It is difficult to say, according to Kalimootoo. There are so many variables, including the type of equipment you want, the type and amount of surface area you have and want (i.e. woodchips or rubber) and which features you want to add.
Developing a park starts at about $30,000, Kalimootoo says.
But one aspect of playgrounds will never change — they can be enjoyed by all ages.

Daniel Hakimi cools off at the recently opened Rouge Crest Park in Richmond Hill. Parks like it and Newmarket’s All Our Kids Playpark, which includes buried dinosaur bones, are pushing the boundaries of the traditional play-ground.

It’s hard to keep up with Arielle Tessier.That shouldn’t come as a major surprise
given the Maple teenager covers 100m in just a little more than 12 seconds.
That lightning-fast speed put the Villanova College student atop the podium in 2014 in the 100m midget girls final at OFSAA (all-On-tario) in a time of 12.24, ahead of the second-place runner, who clocked 12.39.
In June, she ran 12.15, good for silver in junior girls 100m, but not quite quick enough to beat the winning time of 12.05.
Tessier, however, was recovering from an injury suffered last August that put her on the shelf for eight months and slowed her training.
She has run as fast as 11.97 in the 100m and, in mid-July, the 15-year-old had her career highlight when she competed in Cali, Colombia at the International Athletic Asso-ciation Federation (IAAF) World Youth Cham-pionships.
“It was the most amazing experience I’ve had in my track career thus far,” she said.
It was the first time Tessier has ever com-peted for Canada and she’s confident it won’t be the last.
The youngster wasn’t able to run her per-sonal best, settling for a 12.24 clocking in her heat and failing to move on. She was among some world-class runners, including Ameri-can youth superstar Candace Hill, 16, who set a world girls youth record in June with a blazing time of 10.98. Hill won the gold in Cali with a time of 11.08, so Tessier knows she has a lot of work to do.
“It (world youth event) was a tremendous learning experience that I think will serve as a good foundation as I go forward in track,” she said.
Tessier has been at King City’s Villanova College since Grade 6. Now entering Grade 11, she’s excited about her final two years of high school and will seek a U.S. track scholar-ship when her high school days are over.
Her long-term target is the 2020 Olym-pics in Tokyo when Tessier, who will turn 21 around the time those Games take place, should be in peak form should she continue to get faster and stronger and remain healthy.Arielle Tessier

HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING

It was a little early for “Smoke on the Water,” but not if you’re eager to win a dragon boat race.
Some 25 teams were stretching their muscles and determined to hit the water for a good cause before the heat kicked in Saturday morning at King City’s Seneca College campus.
The Toronto and York Region United Way was the beneficiary of the eighth annual Toromont CAT Drag-on Boat festival and everybody was ready to go.
“We’ve got 25 teams competing and last year we raised about $130,000, but for this event it’s more important for our corporate partners and our com-munity partners and labour to come together on a beautiful day in King and canoe,” said Daniele Zanotti, senior vice-president of resource development for the Toronto and York Region United Way.
“It’s really the synergy of the United Way getting together and paddling for a common cause,” he added.
This year’s event raised $125,000.Toromont president and CEO Scott Midhurst put
his money where his mouth was and decided he was going to get into a canoe and paddle.
“I’ve signed a waiver,” he joked. “The United Way contributes to the community in a positive way, we all know the great job they do, we have to dig deeper, when you or a family member or a co-worker needs support, they’re there,” he said.
Annual dragon boat race returns to King to benefit United Way
Debbie Richard (from left), Rashpal Uppal, Cynthia Luey, Jenni Prodanovic and Rachel Norris-Ohm (front) of Team Seneca get ready for their dragon boat race Saturday morning at the King City campus of Seneca College. The event included 25 teams and raised about $125,000 for the United Way of Toronto and York Region.

EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR
We can restore our confidence in Parliament
The Peace and Justice Committee of Northern Waters Presbytery (part of the United Church of Canada) discussed what could be done to restore public confi-dence in Parliament.
We discussed various issues from dif-ferent political points of view.
We agreed that these are some of the problems:
• the backbencher has less and less ability to affect change;
• omnibus bills are too large to be con-sidered properly;
• partisan attack ads are disturbing;• the process of proroguing causes bills
in process to be dropped; and• ethical and intelligent people will not
want to be an MP;We suggested these as solutions.• restrict, by legislation, party election-
eering outside of election campaigns;• abolish attack ads completely, even
during elections;• abolish omnibus bills;
• restrict the use of confidence votes and increase the number of free votes in Parliament;
• restore the per-vote subsidy for politi-cal parties;
• protect bills in process from being dropped when Parliament is prorogued unless an election is called; and
• initiate a national commission to determine which specific forms of elec-toral reform would strengthen democ-racy, while maintaining national unity in Canada.
Now that we have an election cam-paign going on, this would be a good time to ask the various candidates how they feel about these solutions when there is an all-candidates meeting or when one knock at your door.

Regional chairperson debate re-igniteshis isn’t the first time York Region Media Group has dedicated this space to discuss and debate the pow-erful regional chairper-
son’s role in our communities.And it certainly won’t be the
last. It’s a crucially important issue
that needs debate, public input and, most of all, absolute change.
Since 2012, provincial politi-cians have attempted to get vari-ous bills through Queen’s Park to make Ontario’s regional chairper-sons elected by the general public, not by the respective councils of each region.
But each attempt, unfortu-nately, was swept under the rug of incessant political red tape and disruption.
In York, the region’s chairper-son and CEO oversees a budget of about $3 billion that affects all nine of York’s local-tier municipalities.
That’s a huge responsibility and one that should be earned fairly through our privileged democratic voting process.
York’s debt is climbing; pro-jected to near the $4-billion mark within the next several years. That’s no small potatoes and it needs to be tackled, urgently, by a person who has earned the confi-dence and nod of its citizens via an elected ballot.
Newmarket-Aurora MPP Chris Ballard is the latest politician to try to change the status quo by the time the next election rolls around in 2018.
Admittedly, it would be much easier if York Region council came to the table and passed a motion to change the council appoint-ment to an elected position.
“We don’t need a motion from the region, but … it would expe-dite the change, absolutely,” Bal-lard said last week.
Markham Councillor Joe Li might just be the man to get the job done with his announcement last week that he will introduce this important game-changing motion within the next few months, with Stouffville Mayor Justin Altmann agreeing to second the motion, so it doesn’t die on the table.
If regional council passes this motion once it reconvenes for
fall, Queen’s Park wouldn’t need to interfere and a regional chairper-son’s race would be underway in time for the next municipal elec-tion.
That’s what needs to happen.It’s high time this powerful,
influential position was won fair and square by the will of its citizens and business owners. Perhaps 30 years ago it was suitable for this job to be appointed by elected repre-sentatives when the region’s popu-lation was hovering at 500,000, but now that we have swelled to more than one million and counting, we need to follow Durham (2014) and Halton (2006) regions’ leads and make this an elected role.
Li said he is frustrated with back-room wheeling and dealing in advance of council’s selection of York Region’s chairperson.
As are we.He promises to fight for
change.“I’m working on that. When I
was campaigning for re-election (last year), a lot of people asked me why the regional chair is not elected, so I made a pledge, if re-elected, I will make sure it’s going to happen,” Li said.
Chairperson Wayne Emmer-son said he opposes making the position elected, because, he says, many residents do not understand the chairperson’s role and what it means to represent the interests of the region on myriad fronts.
Maybe it’s time, then, to spell out that role to citizens and let them know this person is charged with being the region’s CEO, pre-siding over all council meetings, representing the region at official functions, serving as a board mem-ber for the police service, sitting on various boards outside the regional organization and promoting and advancing its position with other levels of government and external groups.
Regional Councillor John Tay-lor says electing the chairperson may give the more highly popu-lated south communities more pull, but it’s these communities’ mayors who, largely, appointed Emmerson, merely on strength of their numbers. So, wouldn’t we rather citizens have that say? We’ll be closely watching how council handles this issue come the fall.

Personalinjury law
DarcyDarcy is a lawyer withBoland Howe LLP, TrialLawyers for the Injured,and can be reached at905.841.5717www.bolandhowe.com
Canadian LawyerMagazine hasrecognized BolandHoweas one of the Top 10Personal Injury lawfirms in Canada.
Whatdoes that numberrepresent to you?
Allow me to put it intoperspective. It is aboutas many people as theentire complement of theCanadian Reserve Force. Itis about as many people asthe population of Bradford.It is approximately the totalnumber of days the averageCanadian lives.
It is also the estimatednumber of Ontarians,who, one year after a caraccident, will still be inpain.
The Ministry ofTransportation’s mostrecent published statisticsshow that in 2012, therewere 61,001 peopleinjured in car accidents.More than 96 percent.58,805 of them suffered
injuries that did not requireadmission to a hospital andcould be dealt with in theemergency room or by afamily doctor.
This year, a researchteam commissioned bythe Ministry of Financepublished researchpapers that reviewed thefindings of what the teamconsidered to be the mostreliable clinical studiesrelating to these 58,805Ontarians injured inautomobile collisionswith injuries not requiringadmission to hospital.
According to one oftheir research papers,published in Journalof Manipulative andPsychological Therapeutics,Volume 32, Number 2S,“the preponderance ofevidence indicates that,in adults, recovery ofwhiplash-associateddisorders is prolonged,with approximately halfof those affected reportingneck pain symptomsone year after theaccident.
Perhaps, you may thinkthat there must besomething unique aboutthe 50 percent who don’tget better in the first sixmonths or who never getbetter. The research teamreviewed all the red flags,like pre-existing conditions,age, percentage of body inpain, baseline neck painand headache intensityand disability. Researchersconcluded they could notreasonably predict whowould recover and who
would not. So, you andI are as likely to recoverafter one year as we areto not recover after oneyear. And we have thesame odds of being oneof the unfortunate 1,311to 1,836 Ontarians whosuffer prolonged severesymptoms.
With 58,805 Ontarianssuffering from suchinjuries each year, and halfnot recovering after oneyear, you would assumethat your auto policywouldafford ample funding fortreatment to cope, wouldn’tyou?
Formerly, motorists hadcoverage for $100,000 oftreatment if they neededit. Then, in 2010, thegovernment reduced itto $3,500 for those whohave injuries like wehave been discussing.Now the government iscontemplating reducing iteven further, and limitingthe duration of treatmentto just six months.

By NaNcy HopkiNsoNNobleton United Church
On Sunday, Aug. 23, we Nobleton United people must get up a bit earlier than usual as the service is at 11 a.m. at the Dufferin Marsh in Schomberg. Please park on Dr. Kay Drive. It is a joint service with Schomberg United and Schomberg Presbyterian Church. In case of rain, we would likely go to the Schomberg Presbyterian Church.
On Sunday, Aug. 30, Nobleton United Church will have its regular service time of 11:15 a.m. in its own church and Schomberg United will have its regular service time at 9:30 a.m. at the Manor.
We have changed the date of September’s Messy Church. Normally we have it on the second Tuesday of every month. However, the second Tuesday of September is the first day of school. We decided that day is exciting enough. So the new date is Tuesday, Sept. 15. If you have not tried Messy Church, you will have a treat. There are choices of activities depending on the theme of the story. Sep-tember’s theme is Jesus is the true vine. There are always cookies in the theme to decorate and then eat. The story time is at 6 p.m., fol-lowed by dinner at 6:15 p.m. We always have raw veggies and dip, fruit and some protein to complete the meal — meatballs, chicken nuggets, lasagna, ham. I am not sure right
now what that will be. When the meal is done, you can do more
activities or just socialize. Parents and grand-parents like to chat and the children like to play. This is a good time of food, faith and fun and it is free, as Nobleton United provides the funding as an outreach activity.
Sunday Sept. 13 at 11:15 a.m. is Rally Day and there will be lunch after the service.
On Thursday, Sept. 27, we are having a Harvest Dinner with chicken and all the fix-ings and dessert. Tickets will be available soon. You might want to call Helen Bible right now at 905-859-3924 to reserve your place as the space is limited. This is a sit-down dinner with white tablecloths and ample time to chat to friends and neighbours.
We will be having a joint anniversary ser-vice with Schomberg United on Sunday, Oct. 25, at 11:15 a.m. in Nobleton. At that time, we will celebrate Nobleton’s cross (the Baguley family created it), and the various stained glass windows of our church. We will also cel-ebrate Schomberg United’s history. We hope that our Nobleton and Schomberg commu-nities will want to attend to admire these windows and the cross and to celebrate our histories with us.
On Saturday, Oct. 31, we will be having our Craft and Bake Sale. There will be a barbecue (weather permitting) and a lunch room (no matter the weather).

lection, what election?If that’s your reaction 60 days
from a federal vote, who could blame you?
At a time when we’re in the dog days of summer, enjoying the Blue Jays, lazy cottage times, barbecues, beach balls and everything but politics, it’s hard to think about campaign promises and political speeches.
But you’ve got Conservative Leader Ste-phen Harper, the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair, Justin Trudeau of the Liberals and Green Party’s Elizabeth May pleading for your sup-port.
They’ve been stomping around for almost three weeks, promise-making and insulting each other, though not many have noticed, save for that leaders’ debate two weeks ago.
It’s laughable but predictable that poll-sters are busy giving us the horse race — when we’re barely at the stage where they’ve opened the starting gates.
E
So much can still happen and the people who will decide who wins aren’t even paying attention yet.
It isn’t usually until the backstretch that voters really get interested – and that’s about three weeks out from election day.
Serious interest won’t get going until the kids head back to school and people strap in and pay attention to what’s being said. And we’re at least three weeks away from that point.
Until then, to use a baseball metaphor, we’re in spring training. The games don’t matter, it’s just warm-ups and only the real political junkies are paying any attention.
The fans/voters will perk up when the political season starts in September and once we get to October and political playoff time, those who really care will hone in on what matters. In the last 10 days, when its World Series time for the politicians, then and only then, will the undecided voters who could well make the difference, make their final decision.
So, let’s take a breath and let the politi-cians do all the heavy lifting.
We’ll see them in September.

Unlike people, dogs do not cool themselves by evaporating moisturefrom their skin, ie sweating. In fact, they don't even have sweat glands ontheir bodies – their only sweat glands are on the undersides of their feet.So, whereas we want to expose our skin to air movement, and would never want towear a sweater in the hot weather, for a dog that “sweater” of fur keeps them cooler.It creates a microenvironment by their skin, keeping a layer of cooler air next to itthat is not baked by the rays of the sun, and protects the skin itself from sunburn.Dogs cool off by evaporating moisture from their mouth and airways when they pant – the bestway to keep them cool is to provide plenty of drinking water so they have lots of fluid to evaporate.
There is, however, one good reason for a summer haircut: for dogs that spent their summer divingoff the dock at the cottage, a shorter coat gets less water-logged. Dogs that stay wet can end upwith skin infections called “hotspots”; the moisture plumps up the skin cells (think “prune fingers”)and opens gaps between them where bacteria can get a toe-hold. A haircut may make it easier todry off a wet dog!

Sarah ChaN, chiropodist/foot specialist
Toes that are clawed or curled can make it difficult to wear shoescomfortably as the toes constantly rub inside the shoes and formblisters, calluses or corns. Claw toes can be caused by muscleimbalance which leads to ligaments and tendons that are attachedto the toes to become tight. Treatment of the muscle imbalanceis important to prevent the clawing and may include exercises,proper footwear and stabilizing foot support. Extra broad and deeptoe boxed footwear is also helpful to prevent toe discomfort.

Concrete truck fire closes Hwy. 400 lanes for hours
Southbound Hwy. 400 lanes at Hwy. 9 in King City up to Hwy. 88 in Bradford were closed for hours Monday following a truck fire.
PHOTO/PAUL NOVOSAD
BY BREA [email protected]
A portion of Hwy. 400 remained closed for more than two hours Monday after a concrete pumper truck burst into flames on the side of the road.
Just before 4 p.m., the vehicle began to smoke, causing police to close all north and southbound lanes at Hwy. 9 in King City up to Hwy. 88 in Bradford. Northbound lanes were quickly re-opened after the fire was contained.
According to the OPP, the driver of the truck managed to escape with minor injuries.
The incident caused major delays for commuters, who sat at a standstill for much of the after-noon.
The exit ramp at Hwy. 9 remained closed for cleanup after the incident for the rest of the evening.
It is unknown at this time what caused the fire.

WATER ISPROTECTED
Learn more about the hidden water system and the people who make it work.For more information, videos and stories, visit york.ca/wateris or call 1-888-967-5426 Keeping our water safe
Our Water: Clean and SafeHow is our water made clean and safeto drink? It starts with protection atthe source.
Water protection requires constant careand monitoring. York Region works withgovernments, businesses, farms andresidents to make sure our groundwateris protected. We also make sure theused water going down our drains andtoilets is thoroughly treated beforeit safely re-enters the environment.As Lake Ontario, Lake Simcoe, andgroundwater provide drinking waterto York Region residents, it is vital thatthis water continue to be protected.
Our drinking water undergoes manytreatment processes to make it safe.At the Georgina Water Treatment Plant,
contaminants are removed as lakewater passes through membranes andultra-violet light. Chlorine is added toprotect our water as it moves throughthe distribution pipes before it arrivesat your taps.
The monitoring of water quality neverstops. Last year, York Region performed36,817 drinking water quality tests.These tests confirm the 285 millionlitres of water delivered each day to anestimated 1.1 million residents is cleanand safe.
The York Region water system ismassive, integrated and fascinating. Yet,it is rarely seen. We’ve taken videos thatwill open the door to our undergroundworld. We think you’ll be amazed.

Move over teachers, now it’s education workers embroiled in labour strife with the province.
The union representing 55,000 education-al assistants, custodians, secretaries, lunch supervisors, library technicians, early child-hood educators, student support workers and others will bargain with the province again today.
But the situation doesn’t look promising at the moment, Elena Di Nardo, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 2331 in York Region, said.
Negotiations are not moving well, she said, adding the ministry is dragging its heels on providing bargaining dates.
A central bargaining committee is negoti-ating provincially for education workers with 101 Catholic and public union locals across Ontario.
A conciliator is now involved in the bar-gaining process, with conciliation being the final step before the union enters a legal strike position, the union said.
But with just a couple of weeks before school starts, “we’re not even close to negoti-ating to getting a contract,” Di Nardo said.
Di Nardo, who said workers have been without a contract since Aug. 31, 2014, said
she is not able to discuss the issues education workers are negotiating.
“There are many issues. A lot of people think it’s about the wages. It’s not about the wages. It’s about treating educational work-ers, school support workers, clerical in a way that they are to be respected,” she said.
“There are a lot of issues on the table and I really can’t get into that right now, but it’s not about the wages.”
In the event of a strike, it could be difficult for schools to remain open without educa-tion workers, Di Nardo said.
However, she hopes conciliation will lead to a settlement and avoid a strike.
“We want to be there in September to
provide students with the support they need for a successful school year, but we can’t do it without co-operation from the govern-ment and school boards,” she said in a union statement.
Meanwhile, as of Monday, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association is in a legal strike position.
After bargaining last week did not result in a deal, the union announced this week that teachers at a school in Moosonee in North-ern Ontario will be the first to begin work-to-rule job action, beginning today.
Other schools are expected to follow in the coming weeks if a deal is not reached, it added.

ome people prefer the limelight while others like to operate behind the scenes. Murray Broad was one of the latter.
The 82-year-old Broad passed away early this year leaving a void in the community.
Born and bred on a farm in Mount Albert, Broad eventually moved to Holland Landing with his wife, Mae, where they raised their children, Ron and Susan.
A trucker by day, Broad still had plenty of time to meet members from the commu-nity during his off time.
“My dad always did stuff under the radar unbeknownst to anybody. He never did
Murray Broad took pride in local parks, nature
Sanything to draw attention to himself,” Ron said. “My dad was just one of those good people.”
Whether it was trees growing out of con-trol on a boulevard or garbage littering the local park, Ron said his dad would always lend a hand when nobody was watching.
While his children spent many years
playing at the pavilion in Anchor Park, it was later in life, during his retirement, that Murray went to the park daily.
Broad and his German shepherd-black lab mix, Babe, were fixtures at the park. He would go to there every day to clean up papers, bottles and whatever else needed to be thrown away. The town even gave him a special garbage pick-up stick.
Because he spent so much time at the park, people got to know Murray and his dog.
“They all knew who Babe was,” Ron said. Murray would collect cans and put them
in a homemade contraption that would shape the cans into a compact square for recycling.
Anyone who knew Murray also knew about his extensive love for animals.
If he wasn’t working, there was a good chance he would head to the lake with his rod.
“There isn’t a stone in Lake Simcoe that he didn’t know about,” Ron said.
An accomplished lake trout angler, Mur-ray passed along his passion to his grand-children who now fish the same waters he did.
Aside from fishing, Murray loved horses and took care of Bob Armstrong’s horses for many years. “He was a bit of a horse whis-perer,” Ron said.
After dinner, Murray would love to go to the old Coffee Time at the four corners in Sharon and kibitz with locals.
“They were rectifying all the world’s problems. In their minds, they had them all solved,” Ron said.
