With many unique cultural backgrounds, the town deserves an outlet that brings all these cultures together. The best way to do that is through community radio. Since 2004, CHEV Radio has been the voice of Markham; broadcasting sports, entertainment and community programming. CHEV’s website (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chevradioam.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.chevradioam.com&lt;/a&gt;) also has local news stories, community events, podcasts, weather forecasts and traffic updates.&lt;br /&gt;Currently an internet-radio station, CHEV Radio has sent an application to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for an AM frequency. Unfortunately, the CRTC has been hesitant in giving CHEV a frequency. The reasons for this are unknown. However, CHEV’s tireless staff have been working hard for the past two years adhering to the CRTC’s requirements.&lt;br /&gt;The residents of Markham deserve a community radio station. The Town of Markham needs CHEV Radio. By signing this petition, we are showing the CRTC that there is a need for a community radio station in Markham. CHEV Radio will bring Markham’s diverse residents together and celebrate their diversity. Therefore, it is time for the CRTC to grant an AM frequency to CHEV Radio.&lt;br /&gt;To sign the petition, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.petitiononline.com/ch0ev931/petition.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;please click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for your support.

York Region Transit (YRT)/Viva “Snow Angels” will take to the streets for three weeks starting today, armed with hot chocolate and shovels to bail out frozen commuters.&lt;br /&gt;For riders already recognizing the benefits of YRT/Viva, Snow Angels will be offering complimentary hot chocolate along YRT/Viva routes.  To help those choosing to drive, Snow Angels will be shovelling driveways and offering complimentary YRT/Viva tickets for taking transit next time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Our extensive transit network offers convenient, reliable transportation for our residents,” said York Region Chairman and CEO Bill Fisch.  “YRT and Viva provide an excellent alternative to driving a car – in the winter or any time of year.”&lt;br /&gt;Public transit options such as YRT/Viva have been shown to ease commuting stress.  By leaving the driving to someone else, YRT/Viva riders can read, chat with a friend, listen to music or just relax.  With the help of the Snow Angels, existing riders will realize they have made the right choice and new riders will be inspired to forgo the stressful winter driving commute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It’s important to thank our existing riders and encourage more York Region residents to try transit,” said City of Vaughan Regional Councillor Joyce Frustaglio, Chair of the Region’s Transit Committee.  “What better way to do this than through a kind and thoughtful gesture?”&lt;br /&gt;In the spirit of Snow Angel acts of kindness, residents are invited to share other inspiring stories with YRT/Viva at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:transitinfo@york.ca&quot;&gt;transitinfo@york.ca&lt;/a&gt;  Submit your experience observing or being a part of simple acts of kindness, such as giving up a bus seat for someone in need, opening a door or otherwise lending a hand.  Submitted acts of kindness will be posted on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yrt.ca/&quot;&gt;www.yrt.ca&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YRT/Viva offers local and rapid transit service options throughout all nine municipalities of York Region.  Over 80 routes keep residents connected within York Region, as well as with connecting services in the City of Toronto and the Region of Peel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than 18.2 million riders used YRT/Viva services in 2007, with nearly 73,000 trips made on average each day between Monday and Friday.  Nearly 400 vehicles will make up the YRT/Viva fleet in 2008, including five diesel-electric hybrid vehicles.  Pending final budget approval, all 90 Viva vehicles will be powered with a bio-diesel fuel blend in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;For more information about YRT/Viva, please visit the YRT/Viva website at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yrt.ca/&quot;&gt;www.yrt.ca&lt;/a&gt; or call the Customer Service Centre at 1-866-MOVE-YRT (668-3978). &lt;br /&gt;For more information on The Regional Municipality of York, please visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.york.ca/&quot;&gt;www.york.ca&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://chevnews.blogspot.com/2008/03/press-release-yrtviva-snow-angels-take.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CHEV Radio)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965403598670184126.post-1114490766142845067</guid><pubDate>Thu, 06 Mar 2008 17:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-03-06T12:33:34.917-05:00</atom:updated><title>Sports Report</title><description>NBA: Toronto 108 Miami 83&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AHL: Grand Rapids 5 Toronto 3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MLB Pre-Season: Philadelphia 6 Toronto 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today/Tonight&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NHL: Toronto at Boston; 7:30pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MLB Pre-Season: Toronto at Pittsburgh; 1:05pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OHL: Mississauga vs. Oshawa; 7:05pm, GM Centre&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Eric Rosenhek</description><link>http://chevnews.blogspot.com/2008/03/sports-report_06.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CHEV Radio)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965403598670184126.post-552521126591676514</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Mar 2008 23:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-03-05T18:55:31.491-05:00</atom:updated><title>PROGRAM SCHEDULE: Mar. 5, 2008</title><description>- The Gonzo Report; 12pm-1pm ET&lt;br /&gt;- Best Of CHEV; 1pm-11:59pm ET&lt;br /&gt;Tune in! &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chevradioam.com/&quot;&gt;www.chevradioam.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click on the “Listen Live” link.</description><link>http://chevnews.blogspot.com/2008/03/program-schedule-mar-5-2008.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CHEV Radio)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965403598670184126.post-8924836770326063081</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Mar 2008 23:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-03-05T18:54:38.055-05:00</atom:updated><title>Press Release - York paramedics granting wishes to some very deserving children</title><description>NEWMARKET - York Medics for Kids is pleased to present a cheque for $21,000 to The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada.

In the first round the Waxers faced the Dixie Beehives. Solid performances from all team members enabled the Waxers to take Dixie in three straight.&lt;br /&gt;In the second round the Waxers went to work against a tough opponent from Vaughan. During the regular season the two teams were only a goal apart in all games. The Vipers added to their season roster at or near the trading deadline and very much a veteran team. Anchored by former Waxer midget Kori Coelho in goal they presented a daunting challenge for the Waxers. The Waxers added a few parts of their own at the trading deadline.&lt;br /&gt;Vaughan finished second in the standing and received a first round “bye”. Most of the “hockey pundits” picked Vaughan to win a close series. The Waxers were focused however, and their team play and determination surprised and overcame the squad from Vaughan. Every player contributed to a Waxer victory. The final and fourth game was won Friday night at the “under construction for three years” Markham Centennial Arena with many Minor Waxers on hand; this was the Waxers Minor Hockey Night. The supporters overcame a nasty wintry night to come and support the Waxers.&lt;br /&gt;At the game end the Viper players and management demonstrated class and showed the young Minor Hockey players that once competition ends appreciation and respect for your opponents is a must. The game was lost and with their season over the Vipers lined-up to congratulate the Waxers. Daniel Agozzino who was ejected from the game in the middle of the third period donned his jersey and skated with the rest of the team to demonstrate his appreciation for his opponents. The Vipers extended their congratulations to Waxers bench staff as well. True Class, and Al Doria should be congratulated.&lt;br /&gt;The Waxers and the rest of the league will miss Frank Carnevale and his fiery and combative disposition next year. Frank announced his retirement and no doubt, will spend more time enjoying his son’s play. Good Luck Frank.</description><link>http://chevnews.blogspot.com/2008/03/team-play-propels-waxers-to-south.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CHEV Radio)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965403598670184126.post-5344974392851723129</guid><pubDate>Tue, 04 Mar 2008 23:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-03-04T18:04:13.229-05:00</atom:updated><title>Car Slams Into Hydro Pole</title><description>York Regional Police have charged a 32-year-old man from Toronto with dangerous driving, after his car crashed into a hydro pole early yesterday morning.&lt;br /&gt;The incident occurred around 2am, Tuesday, on Warden Avenue near Denison Street.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“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.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;“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.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The data confirms York Region residents are finding alternative modes of travel more than ever before.  This shift in York Region travel patterns include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• The proportion of York Region residents working in Toronto continues to decline from 50 per cent in 1986 to 42 per cent in 2006.&lt;br /&gt;• 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.&lt;br /&gt;• The average trip length to work – approximately 20 km – has remained constant from 1986 to 2006.&lt;br /&gt;• 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.&lt;br /&gt;• 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The final survey results will be released this spring.&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More information can be obtained on the website for the Transportation Tomorrow Survey at: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jpint.utoronto.ca/ttshome/&quot;&gt;http://www.jpint.utoronto.ca/ttshome/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on The Regional Municipality of York, please visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.york.ca/&quot;&gt;www.york.ca&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://chevnews.blogspot.com/2008/02/press-release-survey-results-show-jump.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CHEV Radio)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965403598670184126.post-4700862612203735088</guid><pubDate>Tue, 26 Feb 2008 20:55:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-26T15:56:31.950-05:00</atom:updated><title>Sports Report</title><description>NHL: Toronto 5 Ottawa 0&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NBA: Toronto 102 Indiana 98&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OPJHL Playoffs: Markham 5 Vaughan 2 (Markham leads 2-0)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OPJHL Playoffs: Stouffville at Huntsville, 7:30pm (Series tied 1-1); Newmarket at Aurora, 7:30pm (Aurora leads 2-1)</description><link>http://chevnews.blogspot.com/2008/02/sports-report_26.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CHEV Radio)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965403598670184126.post-8323048020262165758</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Feb 2008 16:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-25T11:21:06.581-05:00</atom:updated><title>Press Release - York Region marketing initiative identifies sustainable approach</title><description>Region encourages green practices while focusing on attracting green companies&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“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.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The competition for new business investment in today’s global marketplace is about attracting educated innovators and skilled labour to our communities.
