If you’ve been looking for a job in York Region, your prospects are looking up.

The region should expect a mild hiring climate for the third quarter of 2016, accord-ing to the latest Manpower Employment Outlook survey.

Ten per cent of employers are looking to hit new staff between July and September and none plan to cut employees, accord-ing to Maple Kyriacou, of Manpower’s York office.

The vast majority — 90 per cent — plan to maintain current staffing levels.

Nationally, employment gains are also expected to be modest in the third quarter, Darlene Minatel, vice-president of Man-power Canada’s operations and strategic accounts.

Mild job growth coming in York“However, we are seeing some bright

spots,” she said in a statement.“The Canadian dollar’s prolonged low

has been good news for the manufacturing industry. Increased demand for Canadian exports is a big reason the manufacturing-durables sector is expecting the largest quar-terly employment growth of any sector for Q3 (the third quarter).”

The public administration sector is also expected to see strong growth, according to the survey.

Overall, the survey of 1,900 employers across Canada revealed 16 per cent plan to hire workers from July to September, while 5 per cent expect cutbacks.

About 78 per cent expect their staffing levels to remain the same, while 1 per cent were unsure about their hiring intentions.

mid the hatred and violence, there is love and hope.

As members of York Region’s lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgendered and queer (LGBTQ) community and their supporters struggle to absorb the searing shock of the massacre of 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday, they are also speaking of their determination to forge stronger ties of understanding in the community.

The shooting by a lone gunman at the Pulse nightclub, which left 49 victims dead and another 53 injured in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, came just before a series of Pride events in York this week, including flag raisings in Vaughan and Geor-gina, a vigil in Markham and the annual Pride Parade in Richmond Hill.

In Georgina on Monday, a distinct rain-bow flag waved brightly in the brisk wind at the town’s second annual Pride flag raising ceremony.

The rainbow brightening the overcast afternoon matched the inspiring yet somber words of PFLAG York Region’s vice-president Michael Blackburn.

He urged supporters to hold close to their loved ones and stand loud and proud, and yet safely, with the LGBTQ community in light of the Orlando shooting.

“It is now more important than ever to show your allegiance to the community, to inclusivity and to diversity,”’he said.

Blackburn recalled how shocked he was when he learned of the shooting in Florida.

“I went from a great high at my brother’s wedding to a low that somebody could hate me that much just because of who I loved. We grieve with our brothers and sisters to the south,” he said, asking for a moment’s silence.

“We are not going to fight hate with hate. We are going to fight hate with love and together we can make this world a better place.”

At Vaughan’s flag raising Monday morn-ing, Amanda Knegje, the York Region presi-dent of PFLAG Canada, the only national organization that helps Canadians with issues of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, recalled watching the horror of the shooting on her television.

“It was horrific, it was on the news, it was everywhere. We have these moments in our lives we will always remember where we

York’s LGBTQ community strives for hope

were. And as a proud gay woman, in Can-ada, in York Region, to be sitting there with my son, enjoying the liberties that I have in so-called safety, to hear something like that and just the magnitude of it, rocked me to the core,” the Richmond Hill resident said.

“Because the reality is we have a sense of safety, but I’m sure the people in Orlando had a sense of safety, as well. It reminds us that hate exists and is prominent and it’s scary. I will certainly always remember that moment of hearing about the loss of life and, really, the loss of the feeling of safety and knowing we have so much more work to do.”

Knegje is struggling to understand where such hate can come from.

“Hate exists in groups, it exists in a lot of different sectors. But, for me personally, I would like to believe that kind of hate is the random act of one individual who had obviously suffered from something inside because that kind of act against human-ity, against the LBGTQ community, against people in general, it’s mind-boggling to think it could be part of something greater,” she said.

“But the reality is, again, that hate exists and there are probably many people who feel the same way. It’s scary, but it’s impor-tant to say that, because it’s important to recognize we do have work to do.”

Knegje would like to think ignorance in society has more to do with lack of educa-tion and exposure to the LGBTQ community and that there is only a minute percentage of people who carry overt hatred towards others.

“Even standing up here today and talk-ing about it and uttering the words out of my mouth of recognition of these people and the fear they must have felt in those moments and questioning why their sense of safety, to be in a night club, enjoying themselves, having pride and having some-one senselessly gun them down for who they are naturally as people, the feelings of that, I think it’s important to recognize and I think it’s important to have raw emotions.”

Watching news of the shooting unfold, Knegje said it was important to be sur-rounded by the love of her two-year-old son, Hendriks.

“It was nice to have him with me at that

moment. It just reminded me that while there is such ugliness in our world, I get to have a two-year-old son who loves me and has the hope of unconditional support, respect and love for everybody and hope-fully I can give that to him,” she said.

Knegje emotionally described how meaningful it was to proudly raise the Pride flag at Vaughan city hall as 200 people looked on a day after the shooting.

“I’m obviously so upset and sad-dened and shocked at what happened in Orlando and reeling from that and the emotions from that. To be able to have an event like we had — with strong sup-port from the community and the ability to raise the flag and to show the strength of the community and recognition of the victims and those who survived — it just felt important, it felt right to do some-thing today,” she said.

Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua spoke movingly of the love and acceptance he has for his 28-year-old gay son, Jean-Paul.

“This is a very important day, as we recognize while many advances in human rights have been achieved, there’s a long way to go. I can tell you this personally, as the father of a gay man. The gay community faces many, many challenges,” he said.

“I went through it, I went through it per-sonally. There’s a lot of confusion I know my son went through during his life. But there is only one way to deal with that, with the power of love, which, I think, is the resource that is required whenever you are deal-ing with individuals who are being treated unfairly.”

Bevilacqua spoke of sitting in a church and his heart was filled with a sense he had to reach out to his son.

“At that time, I did not know that my son is gay. But I wrote him a text right there in that church and I talked to him about how I was so proud to see parents and children together at that church, children whose par-ents had actually rejected them, and then at that moment they came together,” he said.

The region’s annual Pride Parade, tak-ing place Saturday at 2 p.m. in Richmond Hill, beginning at the intersection of Yonge Street and Crosby Avenue, is usually a day of celebration. This year’s event will be over-shadowed by the sorrow and anger of the Orlando shooting, York Pride Fest director of development and communications, Jacob Gal, said.

“Everyone is trying to get into the mood, but it’s hard to celebrate when so many people have died,” he said.

Event and media co-ordinator for York Pride Fest Jacob Gal addresses those gathered, including Mayor Margaret Quirk, councillors, town staff and York Regional Police, PFLAG and members of the LGBTQ2S community, for the pride flag raising at the Civic Centre, Monday.

A resident and a robbery suspect have been left with stab wounds following a break and enter in Keswick Tuesday night.

One resident who lives near the corner where the events took place — Riverglen Drive and The Queensway — said that around 8 p.m., as he was driving home, he found his neighbour, who he only identified as “Dwayne”, lying in the southbound lanes of The Queensway bleeding from his neck, arm and chest.

“He was in the middle of the road and had blood all over him,” according to the man, who refused to give his name. “He was in shock, out of control, he was yelling at the paramedics. I helped calm him down and let him know these people were there to help him. It was not a good scene.”

He added that the only other person around was a friend of the injured man, who was standing nearby with a golf club in his hands.

Blood markings can still be seen on the sidewalk in front of the home that bears a sign saying “Smile your (sic) on video surveil-lance” and a broken down minivan in the rear.

Police say officers arrived on scene after

receiving calls about a bloodied man at that same corner at 8:15 p.m.

Their investigation has shown that three men forced their way into the residence, a small yellow corner house that is currently surrounded by police tape and up for sale.

Once inside, police said they were met by two men and a woman, who were assaulted by the intruders.

A scuffle ensued, resulting in the group ending up outside.

After the resident was taken to hospital, two other men turned up, one of whom was also suffering from non-life threatening stab wounds.

Those two men were arrested by police.Beau Sherk, 31, from the Township of

Brock and his brother, Greg Sherk, 32, from Haliburton County, have been charged with break and enter with intent and assault with a weapon.

Both men were in court today for a bail hearing.

A local business woman said she believes the residents of the home had been renting for about a year.

“Sure you see the odd scuffle in a parking lot or the local pub, but I was really shocked to see a stabbing,” the longtime resident said.

The police investigation continues.

OPINIONLETTER TO THE EDITOR COLUMN

Still waiting to hear plan on Thane cleanup

Re: Forum did offer options, but some didn’t want to listen, let-ter to the editor by James Calnan, May 12.

I need to respond to several incorrect statements made by Mr. Calnan in his letter to the editor about my position regarding the Thane smelter cleanup.

I have no position on his cli-ent’s proposal since they have not been transparent about what it is or even if they have one.

Mr. Calnan did not explain what his client’s proposal for the Thane site is, despite being asked repeatedly to do so for more than an hour at the Thane Green Forum April 30. I indicated clearly at the forum that I am not against private cleanups and have reviewed many such pro-posals over the last decade, most of which were abandoned by the developers.

After years of study, the Thane Public Liaison Committee rec-ommended provincial waste removal. I continue to feel that is the most responsible solution; a position that is backed by several environmental studies. The site is leaky, on a floodplain and not suitable for a permanent landfill.

If Mr. Calnan’s client proposes a solution that leaves contam-inated slag on the site, he will have a lot of questions to answer about how the waste would be managed. The estimated annual costs of managing it are more than $30,000, in perpetuity, to

partially protect the wetland and groundwater, making it vastly more expensive and less effective than a one-time removal. Mr. Cal-nan has said nothing about who will pay those costs, the up-front costs of onsite cleanup and the hundreds of thousands in back taxes owed to the town.

He also doesn’t mention the site is small, unattractive, un-ser-viced and includes a large section of protected wetland.

Without pushing for a provin-cial cleanup, we could wait for-ever for a viable private proposal. Indeed, none have surfaced so far.

Mr. Calnan says he and his client face widespread commu-nity opposition, but residents, including myself, are simply ask-ing responsible questions before reaching an opinion. I have had no involvement in this proposal, whatever it may be, other than to attend the forum in good faith, so I am disappointed and surprised to see his comments have been needlessly personal and adver-sarial.

I look forward to learning the specific technical details of TPLC Holdings’ proposal whenever Mr. Calnan and his client freely disclose that information to the public. Once that information is disclosed, I will form an opinion. I remain hopeful that the Ministry of the Environment will require this disclosure. In the meantime, I will not be bullied or baited by Mr. Calnan into engaging further in this debate.

Debbie GorDonKeswicK

I

A fundamentally flawed, but wonderful friend

Bernie O’Neill

know I’ve shared this story before, about how when I was a kid I won-dered if Americans think our red and white flag is inspired by what Cana-dians look like after miles and miles

behind the wheel with the window down, left arm resting on the door, left side of the face exposed to the sun.

That’s what my father looked like for most of my summers in the days before air-conditioned cars, as the driver on camping trips to exotic spots in the U.S. (although these days with our weak dollar, maybe that’s a trip for some time in the future).

Or at least we thought of the trips as exotic. I imagine we often just looked tired or grumpy.

In a long trip in a cramped car, you’re soon reading each other’s thoughts — particularly my mother’s, who not far into each trip was thinking, “Never again! Why am I doing this? I must be mad!”

After the first day, Dad looked like a lobster that had been held over a pot and cooked on one side.

Eventually he developed a “half-tan”, as we called it, the kind of braising you get when you’re a Canadian piloting a station wagon on great adventures of cultural and geographic exploration across the United Steaks of America.

We saw North and South Dakota, North and South Carolina, Florida, Geor-gia, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., and all its awe-inspiring federal buildings, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Michigan, and many points in between. The Ken-nedy Space Center, museums, arenas and roadside eateries.

There was Wisconsin, known for its dairy farms, with an odour to match. We once saw a bumper sticker that read, “Smell our dairy air.” You didn’t need to be in French immersion to get the joke.

More than just the scenery, the history and the smells, it was the people we met that made the trips fascinating.

We like to believe that Americans are all the same. But on those trips I often found the opposite to be true — that if we met travellers from Halifax or Winnipeg we all seemed to find ourselves to be very similar. But the Americans were different from us and each other.

Regional accents, how people dressed, how loudly they spoke, the expressions they used.

Like the Kentuckian named Kyle who called me “ya’ll”. I’d be turning around to see who else he was speaking to. And the people from “Bah Haba, Mayin” (Bar Har-bor, Maine) I understood even less.

I still think of America these days in the belief it has to be the greatest country on the planet — no offence to my fel-low Canadians and Canada, my beloved home.

At the same time, America is like one of those wonderful, big, loud, inspiring and yet flawed people you might meet in life, who has all these great qualities yet some type of weakness that always knocks them back a notch or two in life, despite all the steps they take forward.

Or someone whose strength is also their weakness.

For the Americans it’s a steadfast belief in freedom and the Constitution protect-ing the rights of individuals from the whims of government. “Live free or die”, as you will see on licence plates in the northeast.

I firmly believe the freedoms we have in Canada are possible because Ameri-cans stand up for them on behalf of the free world.

But included in that Constitution is the right for people to bear arms. Which may have made sense 200 years ago, in the time of muskets with a small population of colonists in revolution against England, but can be a problem today, in the era of high-powered assault rifles, big cities, and fanaticism.

The Orlando shooting was actually one of dozens of mass shootings in the U.S. this year, reports say. It was the worst, so far.

It would be wonderful if it were also the last, but something fundamental would have to change for that to happen.

Most of the seeds are still being planted at ClearWater Farm in Willow Beach to sprout a working farm that will provide employment, education and food for the community.

The majority of 2016 has been devoted to implementing Phase 1 work to be completed by next year.

This includes the installation of the basic infrastructure to make the property usable for commercial purposes under the Ontario Water Centre’s (OWC) lease with the town for nine acres of the former Reed Farm/Sedore property.

A $2.5-million capital campaign was launched more than one year ago to help fund work on the site.

The OWC must raise at least $1 million in capital for the purpose of improving and operating the farm by August 2017.

That includes the connection of the farm to the municipally owned water and sewage systems, electricity service and commercial grade gas service, installation of an up-to-code fire and security system, as well as an upgrade of the entranceway to the farm and construction of a parking lot to accommo-date visitors to the site.

The approval and construction of a sec-ond driveway access from Metro Road has been deferred pending further discussions with town staff and the region with respect to the overall appropriateness, timing and location for any driveway and entrance on to

Metro, according to the accompanying staff report tabled earlier this month.

An entire interconnected internal road network from Metro to Lake Drive is a vital component to support even informal use of the site by the public, thereby making it an integral part of Phase 1 work on the property.

In addition to infrastructure, the 2016 work plan includes increasing the cultivated area from one to three acres, fencing the entire area and constructing three 30-foot by 100-foot greenhouses complete with the piloting of a biomass heating system.

An expanded farmhouse with kitchen and dining space, as well as the restoration of the barn, can all be undertaken in future phases as capital dollars and/or unique part-nerships become available, according to the plan.

Food production and sales, as well as the public gathering and celebration of local food, are key aspects of the site’s program-ming strategy.

Expansion of ClearWater Farms brand-ed products, already being made available locally, is a key target.

As the executive chef for ClearWater Farm, which “re-opened” as a farm fresh and gourmet-to-go site last month, Cori Doern of Cori’s Café in Sutton said she is pleased to be offering ClearWater’s chemical-free produce in her dishes and community sup-ported agriculture “baskets” available by subscription.

ClearWater working farm will provide jobs, foodThe farm’s master plan states that water

is the most crucial aspect and asset of the site, and that respect for water is what sets ClearWater Farm apart.

Water conservancy, run-off control, reten-tion and celebration through opportunities for art and play, therefore, are all key aspects of the master plan vision.

The details of the OWC’s five-year lease stipulate at least eight local full-time jobs and annual expenditures paid to individuals or businesses in Georgina of at least $600,000 must be met before further renewal.

Upcoming changes to the Route 50 bus service in Georgina had some Pefferlaw resi-dents fearing they were being thrown under the bus when it came to public transit.

York Region Transit’s manager of service planning, however, said a new 50A shut-tle service — operating between Pefferlaw and Sutton as part of schedule adjustments across the region taking effect June 26 — will offer the same number of trips, just at slightly revised times in an accessible minivan.

Hearing rumours the 50 bus she’s been taking every morning at 5:44 out of Pefferlaw to get to work was about to be bumped later by more than 1-1/2 hours was driving Marie Lofranco to distraction.

While the Pefferlaw resident and self-described queen of the bus guides figured low ridership was part of the rationale for changes, the long-time public transit com-muter feared profit and not service was driv-ing the bus when it came to changes posted June 6 on the YRT/VIVA website announcing the new Route 50A shuttle service providing “limited service between Pefferlaw and Sut-ton”.

While she worried how she would make her morning commute and be on time for work, Lofranco also didn’t like the idea of what she considered a “drastic reduction in service without adequate notice”.

“Any reduction in service up here hits the most vulnerable of our region,” she said. “As a taxpaying resident and regular YRT transit user residing in the northern-most point of York Region, I just want to make sure we are getting the same service as anywhere else. I don’t care if there’s only person on that bus. We deserve the same access to and option of public transit.”

It didn’t help that the first westbound/southbound trip on the new 50A schedule was listed as 7:23 a.m. under YRT’s service changes on its website.

The lone remaining westbound/south-bound trip out of Pefferlaw at 6 a.m. was posted under the Route 50 bus service adjust-ments.

Despite the change, YRT’s manager of ser-vice planning Adrian Kawun confirmed the same number of trips between Pefferlaw and Sutton will be operated at similar times, adding the demand in that particular area has not increased from the average 13 to 14 riders during weekday rush hours.

The 50A shuttle service will drop riders at the connecting stop at High and Burke streets in Sutton with minimal wait times for access to the main trunk route of the Route 50 bus, which has seen an increase in rider-ship to the south from Sutton.

It is a benefit at both ends and deals with the inconsistency of frequency between Pef-ferlaw and Sutton, Kawun said, adding cost efficiencies are only part of the equation

when it comes to schedule changes, which are a natural part of a transit system.

“We provide a service, so changes don’t make sense if they don’t serve our customers. We try to keep the schedule as similar as pos-sible because while there may not be many using it in low demand areas, we know there

are riders who use these services. We want to provide the option of transit, make it viable and make it as convenient as possible. That’s what we do,” he said.

Your friend is right. Don’t discount what they’resaying. There is lots of literature on the fouremotional stages in your separation/divorcejourney. These are described as:

1. Shock2. Crumbling3. Acceptance and4. Relief

While they are listed here as stages 1-4, peopledon’t necessarily experience them in that order andthey may think they are progressing to the nextstage only to be triggered by an experience andfind themselves back in an earlier emotional stage.

It is important to understand that when you arein shock, experiencing mood swings, havingdifficulty sleeping, blaming your spouse, caughtup in anger, feeling guilt, fear and shame, thefeelings you are experiencing are completelynormal. However, it is not the time to negotiatethe terms of your separation or divorce.

While it is important at the outset to seek advice and learn what your rights are, ifyou have the aforementioned emotions, you are not really ready to negotiate the termsof your separation agreement or divorce. Start that process when you can commenceenvisioning your future, and are able to consider the impact of decisions on all parties,children included. In the meantime, you are welcome to contact our office to find outwhat your rights are.

We help our clients obtain realistic and long-lastingsolutions to their difficult and emotional situations.

Stretch before and after your run. Stretching relaxes your mind, preparesyour body for activity, reduces the risk of muscle injury, promotescirculation, and improves performance.Warm Up by walking for 5 mins, then stretch to a point where you feel amild tension. When the pull lessens, stretch a little more. It should never be painful. Hold for 20-30 secs,don’t bounce, breathe throughout and repeat 3-5 times. Concentrate on stretching the calf, thigh, groin,buttocks, hip flexors, ITB and back. When the run is finished, cool down with a relaxed walk and repeat thestretches. A 10 minute cool down helps work the metabolic wastes and excess fluid out of your musclesand allows your heart rate to slow down gradually. When you stop, your pulse should be within 20 beats/minute of your resting heart rate.Try The Run/Walk Technique Start with a 2 min run/ 1 min walk and gradually increase your distance by10% each week. Your pace should allow you to carry on a conversation while you breathe comfortably.Recover between runs. Rest days are as important as running days. Vary the direction you run to avoidstraining the same parts of your body.Drink Plenty Of Fluids and get to know the best time for you to eat or drink to prevent cramps or nausea.If you would like to prepare your body for running, require orthotics, or experience an injury, let theTeam of Physiotherapists, Exercise Therapists, Chiropractor and Massage Therapists at Keswick andSutton Physiotherapy manage all your needs!

Hard work pays off for new gymnastics clubBY HEIDI [email protected]

You could say four local girls went flip ’n’ wicked in Belleville this past weekend, put-ting their hometown on the provincials mat — and map.

That’s because Flip ’n’ Wicked gymnasts Rayden Roy, Chayse Palfi, Sydney Tomlinson and Camryn Metzner competed at the Pro-vincial Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Compe-tition in Belleville June 11 and 12.

That’s pretty big news, not only because this is the first time provincials were hosted for levels 3-5 girls (usually it’s levels 6-10 only), but also because it is only Flip ‘n’ Wicked Gymnastics second year being open in Geor-gina and competing in the Ontario circuit.

“The girls were so excited and they’ve worked six to 10 hours per week for a year to get here,” says facility owner Jen Metzner, who owns and operates the Keswick gymnas-tics facility with her husband, Chris.

“We couldn’t be more proud of all of them and all they have accomplished in only two years,” she added, crediting coaches Heather James and Renee Castorina for guiding their progress during that time.

Having fun and doing her best was on nine-year-old Roy’s mind.

She sprang to success in her first year in gymnastics with her amazing back hand-springs and her determined focus. Her near-

perfect vaults have consistently earned near-perfect 10 scores all season.

Chayse Palfi, 11, was eying the podium in Belleville.

She began her gymnastics path in New-market, joining the Flip ‘n’ Wicked competi-tive team in October 2014. Her path to Pro-vincials has been unwavering with top scores all season.

Sydney Tomlinson, 12, came out of Flip ‘n’ Wicked Gymnastics’ recreational program in October last year. Her quest to always do her best landed her a spot on the competitive team within her first few months of begin-ning gymnastics.

While Camryn Metzner has trained com-petitively for five years, her last two brought her back to her hometown with the opening of the gymnastics club in Georgina.

Talented and focused, she has fought her way to the top.

She also wants all the girls to know they can follow their goals at any age, anywhere, with hard work and practice.

All four girls posted strong performances in each of their events placing in the top 40 across the province, demonstrating great sportsmanship towards their competitors and making a name for Flip ’n’ Wicked dur-ing the two-day event, says Metzner.

“We’re so proud of them and how they conducted themselves. They put Georgina on the Provincials map,” she added.

JUSTA TECHNICAL PROBLEMA recent editorial in the National Geographic magazine asserted:

“If you can live a few years more, there is a real chance you will never die, since mortalitymay just be a technical problem we solve.”

The idea being put forward is that man will solve all his problems – including death –without God’s intervention. That is surely a “pipe-dream” as any serious minded personmust conclude that technology has not solved the world’s fundamental problems, and it neverwill. For example, antibiotics are becoming less effective in the treatment of disease makingcommon ailments far more dangerous again; the mobile phone is beneficial for many people,but the same technology is now regularly abused, promoting terrorism, moral decline andeven the development of more deadly weapons, which are used to kill more people.

The first chapters of the book of Genesis records a promise similar to the one quoted fromthe National Geographic, made to Adam and Eve: “You shall not surely die” if you eat of thetree God instructed them not to eat. As a result of that disobedience, death was introduced tomankind and since then all mankind dies.

However, God has provided a way to escape the eternal grave, and that way is through hisson, Jesus. “For as in Adam, all die, even so in Christ Jesus, all shall be made alive”. Read 1Corinthians 15. Mortality is a problem only God can solve.

STEIN, Hannelore Ida August 24, 1923 - June 6, 2016

Hannelore passed away peacefully at Southlake Regional Health Centre at the age of 92. Predeceased by her beloved husband of 53 years, Guenther.

Hannelore and Guenther came to Canada from Germany in 1951 building and nurturing a steadfast home to raise their two children. Though times seemed simpler then, there were many challenges to be overcome. Through hard work, wonderful friendships and a growing family they captured the true Canadian dream.A very special thanks to the doctors and nurses at Southlake for their kindness and care and to all her friends at Hollandview Retirement Residence which she called home for the last six years. In accordance with Hannelore’s wishes, there will be no public service. A private family interment will place Hannelore together again with Guenther, “in love forever”.
