An Evening with Romanza
Singing of love, conquest, betrayal and heartache, from the melting serenade to a spine tingling ‘high C’, the tenor voice romances. Romance is the art of the tenor. Romanza is Philip Grant, Todd Jang and Frederik Robert, three classically trained young tenors charged with vitality and talent and born to entertain on the international stage. Together they are undeniable, joining in harmonies that swell and subside masterfully, charming you along the way. Bridging the gap between Opera and Pop, Romanza appeals to music lovers of all kinds.

Press Release - Earliest Breast Cancer Detection Device Available at Anti-Aging Show
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Bellamente Enterprises Inc., producers of the International Anti-Aging Show are proud to welcome the Thermography Clinic and Dr. Alexander Mostovoy as co-sponsors of this year’s Ask The Expert section at the show.
The Thermography Clinic is dedicated to bringing the most advanced Breast and Full Body Thermographic Imaging to patients across North America.
With Breast Cancer being the second leading cause of death in women, early detection is important, but prevention is the key. The advantage of an early assessment of risk factors could be life-saving and Breast Thermography is one of the best early warning systems available today.
Breast Thermography is a breakthrough imaging procedure where infrared images of the breast are analyzed and rated to determine the risk of developing breast cancer. The technology can detect abnormal cell activity in the breasts 5 - 10 years prior to a mass being detected by a mammogram or physical exam.
Thermography is non-invasive, safe and painless – no radiation or compression is used. The infrared imaging process allows you to see the range and amount of heat or thermal energy emitted from the body. Structural tests, such as mammograms and ultrasound rely on finding physical lesions (anatomy), while breast thermography detects asymmetrical blood vessel circulation (physiology) within the breast.
Thermography is based on the premise that before the growth of abnormal cells is possible, a constant blood supply must be circulated to the growth area. Thermography measures the heat generated by the microcirculation of blood in the breast during this process.
Breast thermography has been researched for over 30 years, and over 800 peer-reviewed breast thermography studies exist in the index-medicus. In this data base well over 250,000 women have been included as study participants. Some of these studies have followed patients up to 12 years. Breast thermography has an average sensitivity and specificity of 90%. Studies show that:· An abnormal infrared image is the single-most important marker of high risk for developing breast cancer.· A persistent abnormal thermogram carries with it a 22 times higher risk of future breast cancer.· When thermography is added to a woman’s regular breast health checkup, a 61% increase in survival rate has been realized.· Finally, when used as part of a multimodal approach (clinical examination + mammography + thermography), 95% of early-stage cancers will be detected.“We are excited to be part of the International Anti-Aging Show,” says Dr. Mostovoy, a Board Certified Clinical Thermographer and Clinical Director of the
Thermography Clinic. “Breast Thermography is an imaging process which finds circulatory changes in the breasts which ultimately could lead to the detection of the disease. “ Dr. Mostovoy will be holding a one hour seminar each day to explain the technology behind thermography and breast health at the Ask the Experts booth, located on the floor of the show. In addition imaging sessions will be offered to a limited number of show visitors at a reduced rate of only $195.00.
The International Anti-Aging Show (IAAS) is the only show of its kind in Canada, 100% dedicated to the anti-aging industry targeting men and women 35 to 54 years of age who want to look better and feel healthier. It features over 100 exhibitors and sponsors highlighting the latest in the world of anti-aging. Free seminars are in abundance and presented by some of
North America’s leading cosmetic doctors, dermatologists, naturopaths, md’s, health and wellness professionals, beauty and fashion experts and more. The IAAS opens it’s doors March 7-8-9, 2008 at the International Centre, Hall 5, 6900 Airport Road in Mississauga. Admission is $12.00 for a one day pass or $15.00 for a weekend pass. Show hours are Friday, noon to 7pm, Saturday, 10am to 6pm and Sunday, 11am to 5pm. For show information please visit http://www.theantiagingshow.com

Press Release - Survey results show jump in public transit use by York Region residents
Transit use for work trips is the highest ever recorded
NEWMARKET – Preliminary results of the 2006 Transportation Tomorrow Survey show that The Regional Municipality of York experienced the highest percentage increase in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) for the number of weekday transit trips between 1996 and 2006.
The increase was 61,000 trips per day, which represents a 91 per cent increase between 1996 and 2006. This trend is consistent with the annual ridership increase on York Region Transit from 7.7 million in 2001 to 17.1 million in 2006.
“Our investments in York Region Transit and Viva are successful in increasing usage of public transit,” said York Region Chairman and CEO Bill Fisch. “We have a long way to go, but we are moving towards our vision of a more self-contained, less car-dependent and more sustainable city-region of the future.”
The percentage of York Region residents using transit during the morning peak period, 9.4 per cent, marks the first increase in 20 years. However, automobile use at 79 per cent remains the dominant transportation mode in York Region.
“York Region’s reliance on the single occupancy vehicle for travel is beginning to reverse through use of public transit, carpooling and other arrangements,” said Town of Markham Regional Councillor Tony Wong, Chair of York Region’s Planning and Economic Development Committee. “This survey is a useful benchmark monitoring tool for us to assess the effectiveness of our transportation policies and actions.”
The data confirms York Region residents are finding alternative modes of travel more than ever before. This shift in York Region travel patterns include:
• The proportion of York Region residents working in Toronto continues to decline from 50 per cent in 1986 to 42 per cent in 2006.
• More York Region residents stay in the Region to work. As of 2006, 53 per cent of residents work within the Region, an increase from 49 per cent in 1996.
• The average trip length to work – approximately 20 km – has remained constant from 1986 to 2006.
• The average trip length for York Region residents, for all trip purposes, has continued to decline from 16.5 km in 1986 to 15 km in 2006.
• York Region residents are increasingly choosing sustainable modes of travel to work. The share of carpooling is eight per cent, transit is 11 per cent and walking is two per cent. Altogether, those who choose alternative modes of travel to work are nearing their highest level in almost 20 years.
York Region is one of 20 regional, county and local municipal governments across south-central Ontario that participated in the 2006 Transportation Tomorrow Survey. The survey engaged 149,631 households from St. Catharines to Barrie and Peterborough and will assist planners to understand and meet the future transportation needs of residents.
Approximately 14,220 randomly-selected York Region households were contacted by professional telephone interviewers to participate in the survey. This sample represents five per cent of York Region households.
The survey responses included trip information for the previous weekday for each household member over the age of 11, including trip origin, destination, time, purpose and method of travel, age, gender, employment status, size of the household and number of motor vehicles operated.
The final survey results will be released this spring.
Similar surveys were conducted in 1986, 1991, 1996 and 2001, typically using staff hired through the Data Management Group at the University of Toronto’s Joint Program in Transportation.

Press Release - York Region marketing initiative identifies sustainable approach
Region encourages green practices while focusing on attracting green companies
NEWMARKET – York Regional Council has approved a new economic development marketing initiative that will promote the natural and cultural attributes of The Regional Municipality of York as part of a strategy to increase visibility as a unique and desirable location for business investment and tourism.
“We have created and maintained prosperous communities that enjoy a balance between economic vitality, quality of life and environmental sustainability,” said York Region Chairman and CEO Bill Fisch. “Through this initiative, we’re going to exhibit our achievements proudly to the world so we can build on them.”
The competition for new business investment in today’s global marketplace is about attracting educated innovators and skilled labour to our communities. Companies will relocate and expand in a community that offers a welcoming business climate in a competitive and prosperous economy with a high quality labour force and a diverse range of opportunities for social and educational upgrading.
“Our strategy recognizes the personal choices of senior executives as a key factor influencing site selection for investment,” said Town of Markham Regional Councillor Tony Wong, Chair of York Region’s Planning and Economic Development Committee. “We believe that respect for the environment results in healthy communities that are more economically sustainable.”
York Region’s Economic Development Marketing and Communications Initiative will:
1. Attract new investment opportunities from companies that are leaders in their industries and have demonstrated a commitment to the principles of environmental sustainability
2. Strengthen York Region’s cluster of more than 170 companies already involved in environmental businesses, which is one of the fastest-growing markets
3. Encourage existing York Region businesses to enhance their competitiveness through environmentally-sound business practices
York Region’s leadership in environmental stewardship includes a proud record of preserving and enhancing environmental quality and social diversity to help sustain its economic base. York Region has 69 per cent of its land designated as protected green space located in either the Greenbelt or Oak Ridges Moraine lands.
York Region continues to manage rapid growth. Over the next 25 years, York Region’s population will grow by about 550,000. The Region will need about 320,000 more jobs, generated through 63,000 more new business enterprises.

Press Release - Solid Waste Committee approves Source Separated Organics disposal contingency plan
Report presents additional disposal options for Green Bin organics program
NEWMARKET – The Regional Municipality of York Solid Waste Committee has approved a contingency plan to export surplus Source Separated Organics (SSO) to a facility based in Niagara Falls, New York.
The short-term contingency plan with Covanta Niagara L.P. ensures continuous Green Bin program operations in the event of service disruptions at existing facilities in Ontario and Quebec where the Region has processing contracts.
“The Green Bin program is a tremendous success across our Region and is embraced by our residents,” said York Region Chairman and CEO Bill Fisch. “We continue to increase Green Bin participation and are taking measures to ensure appropriate capacity for our popular organics program.”
York Region currently holds SSO processing contracts with companies in Ontario and Quebec. Reduction in processing capacity in 2007 has prompted the need for a contingency plan.
In the event of service disruption with our existing contractors, the Solid Waste Committee has approved the short-term transportation and treatment of surplus organics at the Covanta energy-from-waste facility in Niagara Falls, New York. The short-term solution would be used only until additional Ontario and Quebec capacity become available in late 2008.
“Region-wide efforts with our organics program remains in the early stages, however, this is a pro-active decision to ensure a destination for our collected organic material,” said City of Vaughan Regional Councillor Mario Ferri, Chair of the Region’s Solid Waste Committee. “Continuing use and support of the Green Bin program will keep us on track to attain our goal of diverting 65 per cent of all waste from landfill by 2010.”
In 2008, 80,000 tonnes of SSO will be generated across the Region by the Green Bin program.
The Region’s approach to ensure long-term capacity for SSO diversion includes the following:
• Negotiations are underway with new providers to offer additional capacity for York Region in 2008.
• Last month, the Region signed a 30-month contract with Quebec-based Conporec Inc. for processing up to 39,000 tonnes per year of SSO material. Conporec operates a temporary facility at Champlain, Quebec and expects to open operations at Beconcour, Quebec by May 2008.
• Orgaworld, operating in London, Ontario, currently accepts 30,000 tonnes per year of organic material. Orgaworld expects to have an additional 30,000 tonnes capacity per year for York Region by December 2008.
• York Region and Dufferin County released a joint Request for Proposal in October 2007 for construction of a SSO facility in Dufferin County. If successful, the facility could begin operations in 2009 with an estimated available capacity of 40,000 tonnes per year for the Region.
In addition to successful Green Bin and Blue Box programs, York Region has several other Solid Waste Management priorities outlined for the next three years. These include:
• Increasing blue box processing capacity
• Opening new Community Environmental Centres
• Furthering efforts with the Durham-York Residual Waste Environmental Assessment Study
• The Dongara pelletization project
The Covanta Niagara L.P SSO contingency report will be forwarded to York Regional Council for discussion and decision on Thursday, February 21st.

Press Release - 2008 Budget Made for Markham
Markham, ON ~ February 13, 2008 ~ Town of Markham Council approved its 2008 budget last evening. The budget was trimmed to a 3.73% increase – one of the lowest in the Greater Toronto Area.
“During the recent Click with Markham public engagement program, residents told us they expect real value for their tax dollars. And, as we looked at today’s uncertain economic environment coupled with financial pressures GTA municipalities face, it became clear that we must put priority focus on today’s needs and invest prudently for tomorrow’s requirements,” said Mayor Frank Scarpitti. “This budget puts the emphasis on actions residents want today without sacrificing our future.”
Markham Councillor and Budget Chief Dan Horchik added, “The average impact of the 3.73% increase is $39.20 on the Markham share of the tax bill. This is truly a budget made for Markham – it addresses immediate needs in our rapidly growing and increasingly complex community as well as increasing financial pressures from a variety of sources.”
Overall, Markham receives about 26.3 cents of every dollar of residential property taxes collected, with the remainder divided between education (25.69 cents) and the Region of York (48.06 cents).
For the business community, Markham’s commercial and industrial tax rates continue to be among the lowest in the Greater Toronto Area.
Markham’s 2008 Operating Budget is $158.1 million, it’s Capital Budget is $131 million, the Waterworks Budget is $59.2 million and the Building Standards Budget is $7 million, for a total of $355.3 million. This compares to a total budget of $310 million in 2007. The Budget was set, taking into account a 2.75 per cent increase in assessment growth in the Town.
“Markham is committed not to use one-time funding to balance the operating budget,” said Budget Chief Ward 6 Councillor Dan Horchik. “We continue to allocate $500,000 of taxes from new property assessment to the capital program and contribute $1 million to our land acquisition reserve funds.”
“Maintaining and even enhancing service levels where possible, is an important priority. In 2008, Markham Public Library will provide additional hours of service and will improve the library collection with accessible high demand materials. The service level for snow removal, particularly for plowing local streets, has increased. And, as part of our commitment to diversity, the Town has doubled its investment in the Career Bridge/Ability Edge internship program which gives foreign trained immigrants an opportunity to gain Canadian experience,” said Mayor Scarpitti.
The budget also takes into consideration the expected impacts of 2008 wage settlements, inflation, municipal service contract escalations, rising energy costs, rising construction costs and costs of complying with new provincial legislation.
Some of the projects and priorities funded in the 2008 budget include:
Environment
Development of a Markham GreenPrint – a community and corporate environmental management plan with an annual report to the community
Funding for a major tree planting initiative
A comprehensive education and enforcement plan for the pesticide bylaw
Continuing the organic collection program in high-rise buildings and the community mailbox recycling program to collect litter mail at problem Canada Post community boxes
Development of a strategy for the Town’s stormwater manage
Diversity
Markham will double its contribution to the Career Bridge/Ability Edge program – an internship program that provides employment opportunities for foreign trained immigrants in their field of expertise
Work to increase the diverse representation of residents on Markham committees and boards
Enhance services to be more responsive to the diverse needs of the community
Provide Language Line interpretive services in more than 140 languages ment ponds

Implementation of a car pooling program to promote the reduction of automobile use – called Travel Demand Management
Managed Growth
Design and construction of new parks including: Angus Glen Community Park; Berczy Park; Leitchcroft Times Galleria Community Park; Ames Court Neighbourhood Park; Greensborough Parkettes; Villages of Fairtree Neighbourhood Parks
Development of guidelines and policies to support a made-in-Markham strategy for community growth
Development of a Markham Centre open space plan
Undertaking an urban design study to identify intensification opportunities in the north Yonge corridor
Design for the next new fire station
New sustainable development standards and guidelines for community design, site planning and building design
Parks, Recreation, Culture& Library Master Plan/Public Safety
Tender award for the East Markham Community Centre and Library Construction of a new collections building at Markham Museum
Development of a new parks, recreation, culture and library master plan to provide strategic direction for these services being delivered to residents
Design and install traffic calming measures under the safe streets program
Service Levels
Road resurfacing and improvement projects
Replacement and rehabilitation programs at parks, community centres and the Civic Centre including: rink seating replacement at Centennial Community Centre; lighting upgrade for the Unionville Library; work at various fire stations
New sanitary trunk sewer at Highway 7 and Main Street Unionville

Tommy Douglas: The Arrows of Desire featuring John Nolan
An entertaining and enlightening full-length production that was 18 years in creation and is a theatrical tribute to the memory of a man. Douglas was a great statesman, humorist and storyteller. This one-man show featuring John Nolan follows the story of a Scottish-born Baptist minister who became a prominent Canadian social democratic politician. Tommy Douglas’s legacy as a social policy innovator lives on. Social welfare, universal Medicare, old age pensions and mothers’ allowances – Douglas helped keep these ideas, and many more, watching as more established political parties eventually came to accept these once-radical ideas as their own. Don’t miss this theatrical tribute to this Great Canadian!

A woman’s perogative is to change her mind….woman’s perogative is to change her mind….
By Yoko SanchezEditor’s note: Yoko’s views are HER OWN and do not reflect the views of CHEV Radio.*
Ok, so the time has come to re-evaluate my values. It’s a new year and there are great ‘changes’ happening in the world of politics, so why not go with the flow and change my political endorsement while I still give a shit.I really wanted to see a woman run the most powerful country in the world for the simple fact that it would impress greatly upon my ego.A suffering Sappho like Hilary Clinton represents to us fellow amazons with problem hair, what a woman can do if she just works hard enough in a world dominated by men. But alas, Clinton’s mud slinging and dirty tactics during this campaign have lead me to believe that this bitch would pull the trigger while in power, faster than you can say ‘brown shower’ and end up putting North America in peril with her emotionally erratic choices.So, Barrack is now my man. His laid back attitude and prolific speeches remind me of the great Billy Dee Williams in the movie, Mahogany. Smaller in stature ofcoarse, but Barack gives me the same warm tingly feeling Billy Dee did.It makes me want to be American only for the moment to vote Obama in power. He’s the only one that can save America from it’s stinky hubris.By the way, Oprah being his campaign manager had NOTHING to do with swaying my decision.Oh, and ignore the topless video of Yoko endorsing Hilary…..when it comes out.Or at least, put it on mute.There is one thing I won’t change my mind about, and that’s Justin Trudeau for Prime minister of Canada. Even if Belinda Stronach were still alive, I’d still endorse Trudeau no matter what.Y.S.xxx
