McDonald’s serves scholarships to 2 employeesBY HEIDI [email protected]

You want fries with that scholarship?It was a McHappy day for two Georgina

students, Kaitlin Logan and Amy Wasson.The two McDonald’s Keswick employees

each received $500 toward their post-second-ary education earlier this month through the McDonald’s Employee Scholarship Program.

The bursary is just one example of McDonald’s commitment to its employees, Georgina owner/operator Todd Telford said.

“As one of the largest student employers, we recognize the important balance between school and part-time employment. Through

flexible scheduling practices, McDonald’s works to ensure that education remains a top priority for its student employees.”

The scholarship program rewards indi-viduals for excellence in both the community and workplace.

With the franchise for 2-1/2 years, Kaitlin will be attending Trent University studying forensic sciences.

Amy, who has two years with the golden arches, plans to put the money toward study-ing engineering at the University of Western Ontario.

“We are very proud of all of our employees and their accomplishments,” Telford added.

McDonald’s Restaurants in Keswick owner/operator Todd Telford (from left to right) hands over a $500 scholarship to Amy Wasson, while restaurant manager Sandra Kerr presents one to Kaitlin Logan as part of the franchise’s employee scholarship program.

Top 20 semifinalists announced for Hoedown Showdown competition

Motion to make regional chair elected coming this fallBY LISA QUEEN

[email protected]

rustrated with backroom wheeling and dealing in advance of the appoint-ment of York Region’s chair-person, Markham Council-lor Joe Li wants to make the

job an elected position.He will bring in a motion this

fall asking regional council to advise the province it wants the chairperson’s job to be elected in time for the next term of council following the 2018 municipal elec-tions.

“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 elect-ed, so I made a pledge if re-elected, I will make sure it’s going to hap-pen,” said Li, adding Whitchurch-Stouffville Mayor Justin Altmann has indicated he will second the motion.

“The reason I’m doing it is (because) this is an important position. I believe in democratic (election of the chairperson). I

believe it’s time the chair should be elected. When it’s appointed, there’s (could be) a lot of backroom deals. If its appointed, you have to make deals. If it’s elected, you go straight to the people.”

The chairperson, who earns more than $200,000 a year, is now appointed to a four-year term by the region’s 19 mayors and regional councillors.

‘It’s a huge position. It’s a very influential position.’

Newmarket-Aurora MPP Chris Ballard, who has introduced a pri-vate member’s bill at Queen’s Park to make the position elected, said he would welcome Li’s motion.

“We don’t need a motion from the region. However, if regional council took it upon itself to request this change of the minister (of municipal affairs, Ted McMeek-in), it would expedite the change, absolutely,” he said.

“Higher levels of government don’t always like to impose things on lower-level governments. I think

our minister – we all – would be much happier if the region came to us and said, ‘We see the writing on the wall; this is what we want to do’, and they took the initiative.”

If the region passed a motion, it would make his private member’s bill unnecessary, said Ballard, who plans to have conversations with councillors about the issue this fall.

With a population of 1.1 million and $2-billion annual operating budget, York should have an elect-ed chair, Ballard said.

“I think it really is fundamen-tal democracy. Here we have a position that is perhaps the most powerful political position in the Region of York and it’s not elected.,” Ballard said.

“If you look at the powers of the chair, the chair’s influence on policy, on budgets, on appoint-ments, it’s a huge position. It’s a very influential position. I think it’s very simple that people need to vote for that position. We need to know where candidates stand on the issues… I think as voters in York Region, we deserve that.”

Regional chairperson Wayne

Emmerson opposes making the position elected because many residents do not understand the chairperson’s role.

He also believes the mayors and regional councillors want to choose the person they want to lead them to represent the interests of the region as a whole.

Council has not adopted a motion requesting the province make the position elected because Queen’s Park had indicated it would review the issue on a prov-ince-wide basis, Emmerson said.

However, Emmerson, who said he would run if the job is made an elected position, said he would accept a motion from council on this or any issue.

Newmarket Regional Councillor John Taylor, who lost to Emmerson last December, said there are some reasons against having an elected chair, but the positives outweigh the negatives.

“I am concerned with the focus it might put on the south of the region, where the bulk of the popu-lation is,” he said.

“Having said that, I believe

there are more pros than cons and I support York Region moving to an elected chair.

“I strongly believe, as I have said in the past, that the process should include a great deal of public con-sultation and it should involve other reforms to elections and gov-ernances at the regional level.”

Markham Regional Councillor Jim Jones, who backed out of the chairperson’s race just in advance of the vote last December, said he also supports having an elected chair.

Ballard dismissed concerns related to having an elected chair, including the fact significant fund-ing needed to bankroll a bid could restrict the race to a contest among wealthier candidates and worries about the heavily populated south-ern three municipalities dominat-ing the field.

“It’s about the quality of the message. It’s about the quality of the candidate, not about how much money they spend,” he said.

“I think people (might) look beyond voting for someone simply from their own community.”

ENTERTAINMENT

Theatre Aurora was the elimi-nation stage this week as Hoedown Showdown competitors went from 40 to 20.

“The talent just gets better every year and they seem to be getting younger,” Showdown judge and singer Beverley Mahood said.

Of the 40 who took the stage Tuesday, 16 represent York Region.

“It is such a tough business and this is a phenomenal opportuni-ty for these singers to get studio time and mentorship,” Mahood said. “I’m really looking forward to working with the top 10.”

The top 10 will be determined during the semifinals to be held Sept. 13 at Aurora Ribfest. Those who make it will be mentored and coached heading into the finals

Sept. 18 during the first night of the Hoedown.

Contestants are competing for a grand prize valued at $15,000, including cash, guitar and case, recording studio package and a performance in front of 5,000 country fans during the Hoedown.

The runner up will take home $500 and third place will receive $250.

Proceeds from the Magna Hoe-down will benefit 15 local York Region charities.

Readings with Wine an intoxicating artistic eveningBY HEIDI [email protected]

Reading at its best can be an intox-icating experience, but an upcoming debut at a premier Georgina resort will literally pop a cork on a veritable bouquet of words.

Shadowpath is a registered chari-table organization that has produced theatre in York Region since 2002.

Its Readings With Wine program, which introduces people to their artistic — and sommelier — sides, has been running in Stouffville and New-market since 2013.

It will make its debut appearance in Georgina presenting a one-act play, complete with a sampling of fine wines amidst luxurious surroundings at The Briars Resort in Jackson’s Point, Aug. 26 from 7 to 9 p.m.

There are still some roles up for grabs in the original, one-act play being read that features Shadowpath actors.

Rather sip than read?You can still enjoy the drama

and comedy unfold while sampling some fantastic wines by Angels Gate, Two Sisters Vineyards and Viewpoint

Estate Winery.“A majority of the readers are non-

actors – just everyday community members,” artistic producer Alex Karolyi explained.

“But when you add wine, it makes the whole public speaking experience seem easier and even fun.”

It’s a point that’s hard to argue.So is the fact these events bring

together a host of wonderful elements together in beautiful settings.

“It is a truly unique night of the-atre,” associate producer Claire Acott said, adding the first-time event at The Brairs is an opportunity for not only local residents, but visitors to the area to get acquainted with all the five-star resort — located in one of the region’s most picturesque and lake-side settings — has to offer.

Roles are limited and distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Scripts will be handed out a few days prior to the event and roles assigned with character descriptions.

A local musician will open and close the event and play during the intermission.

Light snacks are included in the ticket price and there is a cash bar.

For tickets, which cost $35, visit readingswithwine.eventbrite.ca. Book before Aug. 15 and get $5 off.

For more information, visit shadowpaththeatre.ca or briars.caFor more information, visit shadowpaththeatre.ca or briars.cai

Guests share the ‘stage’ and some fine wine with Shadowpath actors during a Readings with Wine evening at Willow Springs Winery in Stouffville.

Keswick musician crowned Georgina Idol winner at fair

BY HEIDI [email protected]

Keswick’s Mac Shepherd, 14, wowed judges and the audience alike to capture the $1,000 cheque and the title of Georgina Idol during the annual competition held during opening night of the Sutton Fair & Horse Show Aug. 6.

Shepherd’s penchant for performing and musical chops owned the stage and claimed the spotlight during the event, which fea-tured a deep field of top-10 finalists with Jamie McSween taking second place and Samantha Sebo winning third.

Picking up a guitar for the first time about five years ago, Shepherd added vocal lessons and tickling the piano ivories to go with an appreciation of all genres of music, including rock and folk.

But it’s a good thing harmony is also one among many of this talented teenager’s for-tés, since he’s already one half of the success-ful singing duo, Mac and Em, with his sister, Emily.

It doesn’t hurt either, that his older sister is

also a former Georgina Idol winner.But there is no sibling rivalry here.This close-knit duo’s originality and love

of performing is matched by the mutual respect they share as songwriters and of each other’s strengths.

Mac’s well earned Idol title just adds one more note to the music that never stops in the Shepherd household.

Let’s have federal integrity pledge

Which of our federal candidates and party leaders have integrity?

Recent political polls confirm voters’ uncertainty about who to vote for, which politicians are committed to work for us, all of us — not for just “them”.

After all, integrity is not just about telling the truth. We need to know — who can we trust to be a team player on behalf of all of us?

Why don’t we — local media and citizens — ask candidates about integrity?

Interestingly, nearly all municipal can-didates last year strongly suspected of not having integrity refused to sign the offered integrity pledge. Some were offended at being asked.

But candidates are applying to us, the voters, for jobs. Therefore, we are entitled to ask questions about such critical qualities as integrity.

The wording of a national pledge could be as simple as “I pledge that I, my team and my party will act with integrity at all times during the coming election campaign and in office. Integrity means that at all times I will act on behalf of the best interests of all Canadians.”

GET CONNECTEDq HAVE YOUR SAY Send your letter to the

editor to Ted McFadden, [email protected] or Tracy Kibble, [email protected]

Clearly, those who signed such a pledge would have an advantage over those who do not.

Some candidates may be offended, think-ing that their integrity, which they take for granted, is being doubted.

Not necessarily. As their potential employ-ers, we have the right to ask all applicant candidates to declare and prove their cre-dentials. Behaving with integrity is critical to their ability to use their other expertise and credentials to create and work to beneficially implement policies and programs and then to supervise and administer them.

Before we vote, we must know that our representatives will perform with integrity. Citizens at party or public meetings should ask candidates if they have signed such a pledge, and if not, why not.

Time for guaranteed annual incomeSUNDAY FORUM

ould the guaranteed annual income — once considered a radical notion — now be an idea whose time has

come?The Dutch city of Utrecht

recently announced it is starting an experiment to determine if intro-ducing a basic income produces a more effective society.

Closer to home, Joseph Ceci, Alberta’s new finance minister, proposed a guaranteed income program last year on the election campaign trail and both Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi and Edmon-ton Mayor Don Iveson, have also promoted such a program.

Now, medical officers of health and boards of health members across Ontario are officially calling for provincial and federal govern-ments to bring in a basic income guarantee.

So what exactly is a guaranteed annual income (GAI)?

Well, it turns out, GAI has been supported by generations of econo-mists and welfare theorists, from the left and the right. One version works like a refundable tax credit. If an individual has no income from any source at all, he receives a basic entitlement. As earned income increases, the benefit declines, but less than proportionately.

As a result, low income earners receive partial benefits so they are not worse off than they would be if they quit their jobs and relied solely on income assistance.

This means there is always an incentive to work and people who work are always better off than they would be if they didn’t work.

So, why are such a broad group of people — finance ministers, may-ors and medical officers of health — pushing such a program?

Poverty, substantial evidence now tells us, is one of the best pre-dictors of poor health. And poor health costs everyone.

Way back in the 1970s, Manitoba tried implementing a guaranteed annual income in Winnipeg and in the small town of Dauphin.

In Dauphin, everyone was eli-gible to participate. A family with no income from other sources would receive 60 per cent of the Statistics Canada low-income cutoff (LICO), which varied by family size. Every dollar received from other sources

would reduce benefits by 50 cents.Important for an agriculturally

dependent town with a lot of self-employment, the GAI offered stabil-ity and predictability. Sudden illness, disability or unpredictable eco-nomic events would no longer be financially devastating. The project ran for four years, ending in 1979.

So, did the GAI produce anything to report? Remarkably, even this four-year program had strong posi-tive results. Dauphin high school students were more likely to remain in school than had been true in the years before the GAI started (or in the years after the GAI stopped).

So, how much would introducing GAI across Canada cost?

According to Queen’s University professors, the cost of replacing social assistance (which includes welfare and disability support) and old age security (which includes a top-up for low-income seniors) and providing every adult with an annu-al income of $20,000, and children with an income guarantee of $6,000, would be $40 billion.

Our own estimates, which build on existing social programs, range from a gross annual cost of $17 bil-lion for a program that (in today’s dollars) is slightly more generous than was offered in Dauphin, to a “Cadillac” version costing $58 bil-lion that would guarantee everyone a minimum income equal to the LICO, and pay at least some benefits to people earning well above the LICO. The cost of GAI depends on how generous it is, how quickly ben-efits are phased out with additional income and how existing social pro-grams are affected.

Whether it’s our calculations or those done by other organizations, a GAI is do-able and the potential benefits are substantial.

From the moment young men and women walk into the office for their first day as a working profes-sional until the day they officially retire, the notion of planning for retirement is never far from their minds. But when the day to hang up the briefcase and donate all those business suits arrives, some re-tirees wonder what to do next. Some know exactly how they will spend their days when they no lon-ger have to work, while those who decide to play it by ear may find themselves battling boredom.

For those among the latter group, it’s important to understand that many retirees find themselves bored once they no longer have to focus on a career. Jobs keep men and women busy and provide a sense of purpose, so it’s understandable that retirees feel bored once those jobs are no longer a part of their lives. But just because there’s no longer an office to go to every day does not mean life cannot be as ful-filling or even more fulfilling than it was when you were still working. Retirees just need to find some-thing to avoid succumbing to retirement boredom.

Work part-time.• Though it might seem odd to start working right after you retire, a part-time job can provide the type of structure you have

grown accustomed to without all of the respon-sibility that comes with a full-time career. Part-time jobs can range from consultancy work that makes use of your professional experience to something entirely different like landscape maintenance at a nearby golf course that gets you out of the house and enjoying the warmer seasons. Whichever you choose, make sure it’s something you find fun and interesting.Embrace a new hobby.• Working professionals often say they wish they had time to pursue a hobby. Now that you are retired, you have all the time in the world to do just that. Whether it’s per-fecting your golf game, writing that novel, learn-ing to cook like a gourmet chef or whatever else you might have always wanted to do, retirement is a great time to do it.Get in shape.• If retirement boredom has started to negatively affect your mood, one great way to conquer your boredom and improve your mood at the same time is to start exercising. Exercise is a natural mood enhancer. When the body exer-cises, it releases chemicals known as endorphins, which trigger positive feelings in the body. In

addition, regular exercise has been shown to reduce stress, boost self-esteem and improve sleep. Working out at a gym also is a great way to meet fellow retirees in your community, and the energy you have after exercising may give you the boost you need to pursue other hobbies.Volunteer.• If a part-time job is not up your alley, then consider volunteering in your community. Volunteers are always in demand, and volun-teering with a local charity can provide a sense of purpose and provide opportunities to meet like-minded fellow retirees, all while helping to quell your boredom. Retirees who love to travel can combine their passion for volunteering with their love of travel by signing up to work with an international relief organization that travels abroad to help the less fortunate.Upon retiring, many retirees initially find them-

selves coping with boredom. But there are many ways to avoid the restlessness of retirement.

hat better time to think about ice than in the summer?

The topic was front and centre

at Friday’s NewRoads Children’s Dream Charity Golf Tournament at RedCrest Golf Club when event host and Newmarket Regional Councillor John Taylor announced the establishment of the Newmar-ket Outdoor Arena Community Committee.

Newmarket does not have a full, permanent, outdoor rink for hock-ey and other sports, while many other communities in the GTA and Canada have at least one, said Tay-lor, who also serves as the Newmar-ket Children’s Dream Foundation president.

The committee will fundraise for the establishment of a “best in class” outdoor rink in Newmarket, he said.

Joining Taylor on the committee are NewRoads Automotive Group owner and president Michael

Croxon, multi Newmarket Tim Hortons owner Jim Alexander and Newmarket’s Brian McDavid, father of hockey phenomenon Connor McDavid.

Brian McDavid, whose son Connor was this year’s No.

1 NHL draft pick by the Edmonton Oilers, said he’s

excited to join the committee.

This rink will ideally be perma-nent, fully cooled for a longer sea-son and heated around the outside with benches, lighting and a roof.

The proposed facility will be multi-use by design, allowing for hockey, figure skating, ringette, ball hockey, sledge hockey and more.

The project would in all likeli-hood be a Town of Newmarket facility, but that would be a deci-sion of council, as would the loca-tion, Taylor said.

One of council’s strategic pri-orities for this term of office is

enhanced recreational opportu-nities and this type of facility was also recommended in the recent Recreation Master Plan by the Town of Newmarket, he added.

The fundraising effort will be kickstarted with a $100,000 contribution from the NewRoads Children’s Dream Golf Tourna-ment and the Newmarket Chil-dren’s Dream Foundation.

Taylor was enthused by the initial cash infusion.

“Our foundation is committed to providing ways to keep kids busy, healthy and happy, and what better way than skating out-doors in the winter?” he said.

WNewRoads golf tourney, John Taylor’s foundation part of powerhouse group to form committee; Connor McDavid’s father on board

‘I remember Cam, Connor and I driving to nearby towns to find an

outdoor hockey rink.’

McDavid, whose son. Con-nor. was this year’s No. 1 NHL draft pick by the Edmonton Oil-ers, said he’s excited to join the committee.

“I remember Cam, Connor and I driving to nearby towns to find an outdoor hockey rink,” he said. “Like so many other young guys, they couldn’t get enough time playing hockey and loved

skating outside. Connor and I are both excited to support such a great project here in our home town.”

Croxon was quick to join the committee.

“NewRoads Automotive Group believes that we are part of a community and that giving back to our community is a com-pany value we embrace,” he said. “When John asked me to join the committee to fundraise towards a new outdoor hockey rink in Newmarket, I knew we had to get on board... Now we need the community to support this proj-ect to make sure it is a success.”

Former East Gwillimbury town councillor and long-time commu-nity volunteer Frank Kelly is having a street named after him in the new Kerbel development being built in Holland Landing.

Council approved Frank Kelly Drive as a street name for the subdi-vision being built along Hwy. 11.

The one-time councillor was humbled by the honour.

“That’s very nice. I’m quite hon-oured,” he said. “I hope I’m around long enough to drive on it.”

Aside from serving as a town councillor, Kelly has served on numerous committees in the town and was part of a housing co-op in Sharon that spearheaded building Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Elementary School.

Street will bear Kelly’s name

It’s two shots to clear the end of a pond shouldering the entire left side of the fairway and before making a run into an elevated green.“You see a lot of strategies on this hole,” said Maxwell. “It doesn’t matter what you’ve done after 17 holes, this is a killer and hard. It has broken and made a lot of

rounds.” Par is well-earned.THE PRO’S VIEW: “The course definitely puts you in mind for how you have to play the next shot,” said Maxwell, now in his third year at Pheasant Run. “You have to be in position for the next shot, so it’s accu-racy over length.”GENERAL INFO: The 27-hole facility situ-ated on 300 acres is in its 35th season

The York Region Dragon Boat Club has only been in existence since 2013.

But during that relatively short time-frame, the Richmond Hill-based club has churned out some pretty adept paddlers.

Good enough to the point that 10 club members were recently chosen to be on the Canadian national junior team taking to the Welland International Flatwater Centre for the 12th World Dragon Boat Racing Cham-pionships Aug. 18 through 23. Some 2,000 paddlers from 20 countries will compete and Canada is the first-time host of the championship.

Alexandra Marshall was chosen to be on the under-24 team.

Another nine members were named to the under-18 team, including Aurora resi-

Aurora, Newmarket paddlers named to national junior teamdent Amanda Coleman, 17; Markham resi-dent Julianne Yu, 18; and Chelsea Hanoun, 17, of Newmarket, who will paddle for the 24-member women’s vessel.

Among those named for the 25-member under-18 open team were: Aurora resident Christian Strilchuk, 17; Hayden Gunraj, 16, of Schomberg; Auston Chhor, 17, and Bob Long, 16, of Richmond Hill; and Leeyan Haw, 17, of neighbouring Scarborough.

“I am very honoured to have been cho-sen to represent Canada at the world cham-pionships,” Coleman, who is just in her third year as a dragon boat paddler, said. “I never thought when I originally joined dragon boating it would become such a large part of my life.

“It is neat to see that hard work and dedi-cation towards a goal really can pay off. We have been trying out since August 2014 and have needed to put in hours of time in the gym and at the paddling pool.”

“Indescribable,” added Chhor. “When my friends and I got the email at school, we didn’t know what to do or say, we were just running around screaming.”

Making her debut at the upcoming championships, Coleman noted to earn a spot on the team was a drawn out process that began last August.

During that initial session, candidates paddled in two boating practices comprised of drills with a strong emphasis on tech-nique.

“We took videos and were able to review them later with the coaches so they could give us feedback,” she recalled.

“When my friends and I got the email at school, we didn’t know what to do or say, we were just

running around screaming.”

Two more indoor training camps were held last November and March at the After-burn Fitness Centre in Scarborough.

While there, the candidates had the opportunity to utilize a paddling pool to gain feedback and to work on paddling tech-nique.

Along with that, the participants under went a fitness test which allowed the coaches to judge their physical and mental strength.

A final camp was held in May at the Sun-nyside Paddling Club in Toronto when can-didates were tested on their physical fitness and paddling speed and strength.

Along with the camp in Ontario, similar

ones were conducted in British Columbia and Quebec to choose paddlers from those provinces that comprised Canada’s entries.

From there, Coleman said the coaches selected the final candidates based on their strength under the following criteria: physi-cal fitness, paddling technique, ability to adapt, mental strength and well-being, and their ability to be a good teammate.

To be chosen for the under-18 women’s team along with seeing several other York Region Dragon Boat Club teammates join her or be named to the other national team boats entered in other categories, Coleman was elated.

“We have all trained exceptionally hard and everyone has been really committed to improving their performance in the boat.

“Dragon boating is a true team sport, where everyone has to pull their own weight, and everyone has to have their head in the game,” she said.

“Although we were all fighting for a spot on the team, we never stopped supporting one another. During the fitness tests we were by far the loudest and most support-ive team there. Our coaches have taught us that teammates come first, and to never stop striving to be better.
