Seniors being evicted as renovation looms

A group of senior citizens was shocked last week when they learned they were being evicted and had 18 months to leave their homes.

Last Monday, residents of Heritage Village, which is part of the Unionville Home Society,

were invited to a meeting for a Canada Day tea and cake.

But they say they were caught off guard when Debra Cooper Burger, CEO of UHS, told them Heritage Village had been sold and they had to move.

“It’s just devastating,” said Jeannine Harpell

chairperson of Heritage Tenants Association, a group that formed after the meeting. “I thought it was a shock to everybody.”

According to information packages given to the residents at the tea meeting, the village

Beautiful seniors campus ‘not sustainable’ would “be no longer”.

They were also told they would be losing their community centre.

“It was a very difficult message to deliver to them,” said Cooper Burger, who said she understand this is a hard time for the residents.

“They are absolutely my first priority right now.”

The land will be going to York Region, which will be building a new multi-storey seniors rental housing complex and Minto, a private development company.

“We have 18 months until they are going to bulldoze the place,” said Judi Langille, a resident of Heritage Village who was at the meeting.

She is frustrated because she just moved into her unit in February after spending five years on a waiting list.

“I looked at this place and knew I was at home,” she said. “It’s a wonderful place to live.”

She is worried about what she will do, and what the other tenants, who are all 60 and older, will do.

“They’ve lived there for years, it’s devastating them. It’s going to put a lot of them in basement apartments,” she said, adding extra concern for a 99-year-old neighbour.

“She’s not going to survive a move.”

Many residents were upset and surprised with the way the news was delivered. Some had no idea this was happening.

“That’s the first we heard about it,” said Harpell.

According to the package the region’s decision was just passed in council at the end of June, putting development and transition plan timelines into effect.

But the information is not yet public.

“There is no good time to announce news of this nature,” Cooper Burger said in an email.

“This was, however, the earliest time that we could arrange the meeting. We wanted to ensure that our tenants learned of the intended changes from us directly and to give as much notice of the change as possible.”

Heritage Village consists of 92 one-bedroom social housing units with about 110 tenants. They are

Jeannine Harpell, chairperson of Heritage Tenants’ Association, is among other upset tenants of Heritage Village who found out during a Canada Day tea that they will be evicted from their homes. low market rent or rent geared to income.

But they are more than just homes, said Langille. Residents have pets, gardens and lives here.

There is a strong sense of community, she said, and it’s a place where neighbours are friends.

“It is absolutely beautiful. Trees, beautiful cottages, wonderful gardens,” said Harpell. “It’s just wonderful.”

Unfortunately, this beautiful campus is “not sustainable,” said Cooper Burger.

Although they have done a good job maintaining the 38-year-old units, she said after a recent building condition assessment it was estimated it would cost about $3.5 million in capital reinvestment during the next five years to replace things like windows, roofs, heating systems and other older infrastructure.

And they are “no longer safe,” because they have wooden frames and no sprinkler system.

As a non-profit charitable organization, UHS receives money from the provincial government for operational funds, but it recently took on mortgage debt to rebuild Union Villa, the long-term care facility.

“Every time we pay a mortgage, that money doesn’t go into the care of the long term care residents,” she said.

Proceeds from the sale of the Heritage Village land will pay that debt and will go into a capital reserve fund for the villa, she said.

They will also look at the possible expansion of Union Villa.

“There is not only the need for housing for seniors, but there’s also the need to address the waiting list for people looking for long term care,” she said.

But she is also concerned about the residents who are impacted by this transition.

Tenants were encouraged to start making plans soon, she said, and staff will be working with them to help.

“It’s very difficult for them to understand and I think there could be interpretations that this is a cash grab or that we don’t care,” she said.

“The message is, that our board of directors and at the staff level, this has been a process to arrive at this point and we really do care about them, and we are committed to supporting them through a transition we know will be difficult for

them.”

The new York Region facility is expected to double the number of units currently available at Heritage Village.

And there is a need for these affordable seniors residences in the region.

“It’s very important, it’s no secret, we have an aging population and we have a very high demand for housing with a very low rental supply,” said Rick Farrell, general manager of housing services at the Region.

“It’s essentially a perfect storm.”

That is something that Langille can relate to.

“I was five years on this list.

Some of them have 10-year lists,” she said.

Heritage Village residents will be given first priority when it comes time to move into the new region building, said Farrell.

But that will take a few years, meaning the residents will have to find a new place to live until it is built. And plans for the are still in the early stages.

“At this point all we are doing is entering into discussions around a land deal,” said Farrell, noting there is a long process to go through before building can begin. “Our first step is to purchase the land, we have authority to do that. Our second step would be the building, and we do have it in our longer range pan to put in front of council.”

It is estimated that construction will begin in 2017 and be complete in 2020, said Farrell.

As for the community centre, Cooper Burger said they are looking at ways to keep the operation of the centre going.

Many of the Heritage Village tenants have decided they are going to do whatever they can to make sure they can stay in their homes as long as possible.

They want York Region to build their facility and transition the tenants from Heritage Village before their homes are demolished. Then have Minto come in.

“That would save the tenants from trying to find some place for four years, which is going to be very difficult,” said Harpell.

Councillor Don Hamilton, whose ward includes Unionville, agreed.

He said this is a very sad situ-

ation, but he understands UHS’s decision.

“I completely understand why they are doing it, I realize they have to do it because they don’t have any other asset except the land itself,” he said. “The option of not selling the land really isn’t even there. They have to sell the land.”

He said his beef is with the region.

“I’m saying to them step up and build the building now, let’s get started on it. Finish the building,” he said. “Then you can tear the cottages down because you can move the whole community into the seniors building.”

While the region’s building will not be located where the Heritage Village homes are located, Farrell said they need to tear them down for the construction.

“The reality is it’s a single site with rather limited access,” he said.

“The entire site would be a construction site.

“You have to decommission the buildings to make the site accessible,” he said.

But Hamilton thinks it can still be done and that the timing can be changed.

“I think anything can be managed… If we can send a man to the moon, we certainly can manage a construction site,” he said. “I don’t see how York Region can give $25 million to York University but not support our seniors building and getting that built ahead of time.”

In a statement Vince Santino, vice president of development for Minto Communities, said they are still in the early stages and do not have specific dates yet, but they are to begin before the region.

On Sunday, some of the Heritage Village residents were at the Farmers’ Market. They started a petition and got more than 300 supportive signatures in a few hours.

If they are unable to stay in their homes longer that 18 months, Harpell said she is not sure what they will do.

“What can we do? I don’t know.

I honestly have no idea. I’m lucky I have family,” she said. “Some of these people don’t have families.”

The homes in Heritage Village are scheduled to close by Dec. 31, 2016.

Prior discussion on children is key

Pope knows climate

I

f you — or someone you know — are childless, by choice or by chance, you may want to check out www.thenotmom.com website which celebrates women living a child free lifestyle and provides information about a notmom conference to be held in Cleveland Ohio this fall.

In Montreal, 37-year-old Magenta Baribeau recently organized Fête des non-parents, or ‘Child-Free Day’ meant to unite people who choose to remain childless, despite incredible pressure from family and society in general to change their minds.

I’m sure that most married couples, especially those who have been married for a year or more, can attest to well intentioned relatives asking “So, when are you going to start a family?”

For some, this may trigger a host of emotions. A couple who has been trying unsuccessfully to conceive may be highly sensitive to this question. Couples who have chosen to remain childless may find it intrusive and judgmental, considering their personal choice.

Despite being called selfish and coaxed into re-considering their position, many couples remain steadfast in their determination to remain a family of two.

Some point to over-population as one reason they have chosen not to have children, while others honestly state that they have chosen a lifestyle that might be cramped by the responsibility of taking care of children.

Still others may silently choose not to become parents after being raised in a dysfunctional home environment, or by parents who contributed towards making their children feel more like a burden than a pleasure.

Baribeau, who has spent the past six years working on Maman?

Non Merci, a documentary about people who are happily childless, feels that more people should be sensitive to the pressure and prejudice that people who have chosen to remain childless feel.

After reading about this on CBC news, talking to The Motts on Newstalk 1010 about it and interviewing Robin Rinaldi, author of The Wild Oats Project, for my latest

Sara Dimerman Parenting columnist podcast titled: What to do when your partner says no to having a child?, I felt compelled to write this article. My interview with Rinaldi offered a whole other dimension to this topic. It’s one thing for a couple to choose childlessness together, but quite another when a couple is divided or when choice is taken away from either one.

Although Rinaldi’s book has been marketed as one woman’s quest to find sexual passion, I was struck by how much of it was about her yearning for purpose, which included becoming a mother.

After her husband chose to have a vasectomy, thereby blatantly cutting off any possibility of them becoming parents together, she takes brave and risky steps towards finding other meaning in life.

As I, too, have seen when working with clients caught in this dilemma, Rinaldi and her husband sought out counsellors over the course of their marriage. One suggested that her husband would come around, which is a common belief when someone says no to having children, but he proved the counsellor wrong and never does.

Learning from her experience, and from what I too have witnessed, I encourage couples to discuss their desire or lack thereof to become parents before they make a long-term commitment to one another. Then, they can either continue their journey together with this understanding or end the relationship, if becoming a parent is a deal breaker for either one.

Thornhill’s Sara Dimerman is a psychologist, author and mom to two daughters.

The response from Catholics and the general population here in North America to Pope Francis’ encyclical on climate change has been under-whelming - no surprise.

He is essentially preaching to the choir.

This Pope is eminently qualified to speak to the issue. Climate change is a component of the general degradation of the environment emanating from a deep spiritual crisis - the breakdown of relationship between humans to one another and to the earth.

He combines a universal moral voice with scientific authority - he has an MSc in chemistry and worked briefly as a chemist before entering the seminary.

He writes with enormous passion and grasp of the ramifications of this problem from hell, to little avail.

Humans have a difficulty grappling with things that are not directly obvious or

are not in their backyards or challenge their basic assumptions about the world.

The real problem is the paucity of leaders with the vision and gumption to change the paradigm. The Pope is a shining voice crying out in the wilderness.

Stand up for turtles Re: We’re slow to act on saving turtles by Eileen Brown (letter July 2) About 10 years ago I was seated outside by the pond behind the Unionville Public Library. I noticed a man catching turtles with a fishing-net and putting them into a white plastic bucket.

I asked him what he was doing and he ignored me.

It didn’t strike me as being right to intrude at the time so I called the Markham police and told them what I had seen.

They informed me that it was not their jurisdiction

and they thankfully gave me a phone number to contact personnel at the Ministry of Natural Resources.

I reached a gentleman in Sioux Ste. Marie by phone and he said that that the closest Provincial Park Ranger was in Aurora. He advised me to take a picture of the man and the license plate of his vehicle and file a report. By then it was too late of course and I hadn’t thought of doing it myself.

I used to count the turtles at Toogood Pond sunning themselves and floating near the surface.

Ten years ago there were about 12 turtles (just below the dam). I don’t know what the numbers are these days.

I think the lesson here is to take these issues into our own hands.

Capturing turtles is already against the law. We should be vigilant and stand up for the preservation of our natural environment.

t’s summertime in Canada, season of barbecues, bocce, beer, baseball, bugs and bumper-to-bumper traffic.

It’s also a time to visit those you haven’t seen in a long time, or to welcome visitors from afar.

My sister, her husband and their kids are visiting from Australia (the kids are on their “winter break”) and they seem to be having a swell time.

They stopped in L.A. for a week first, going to Disney, where the happy couple met all those years ago. Back when they were both young and single and adventurous, and weren’t going to let the fact they happened to live on different continents stand in their way.

(And hey, you’ve got to meet somewhere, so why not at the Medieval Times at Disney! After all, it’s where you “step back in time with jousting tournaments, royal feasts, knights and romance”.)

Then it was on to Canada and Niagara Falls, enjoying the sight of water yielding to the forces of gravity, something that, naturally, was on the bucket list of the young Aussies with the Canadian mom.

Bernie O’Neill Of course she doesn’t sound like a Canadian mom anymore.

Her Australian accent is pretty well established at this late stage (or “lite stige”, as she would say, Aussies forgoing their “A” sounds in favour of “I”, so lake becomes like, bake becomes bike, and so on). I momentarily found my eyes casting around for a translator or English subtitles as we talked over the sound of hip-hop music at a restaurant where we all met for a big dinner, siblings, cousins, down by the ACC. (Incidentally her name is Barb, or as we called her growing up, Barbie, so moving to Australia, where “throw another shrimp on the barbie” is an everyday expression, tested her courage and sense of humour.)

The Jays game was on and I wondered if they had heard of Josh Donaldson, the third baseman who is off to the all-star game. No they had not. Don’t get a lot of Major League Baseball, or any league baseball, on TV down there. Connor McDavid, top NHL draft pick from Newmarket? Sorry, no. Likewise, hockey is not a big sport Down Under.

How about Bruce Gender? “You mean Caitlyn Jenner (Or as they say, “Kite-Lynn Jenna”). Oh ya, that’s on the news all the time.

And for sports? Turns out Australian Rules Football is pretty big in Australia in a way Canadian rules football (the CFL) is not so big around here. But of course they don’t live next to the U.S. giant, which I imagine allows their own sports and culture some room to breathe.

Interestingly, some of the conversation turned to the issues that face their city, Melbourne, that sound so similar to the ones here in the GTA: traffic congestion, public transit, the skyrocketing price of homes.

So no one is immune.

My older brother and I split the huge restaurant bill, so that our visitors who were no doubt spending a lot on their trip, in part to head up north to see Grandma who is having her struggles with health and memory, wouldn’t have to worry about it, even though they insisted on paying. (I told them I can cover their share and they can pay me back later. But it’s really a ‘Greek loan’ — I don’t expect to see the money ever again.)

I wish I could have brought them up to York Region, land of the free, home of the brave, to see all the growth and change, but they were on a tight schedule.

Meanwhile, the baggage handlers were staging a wildcat strike at the airport, the HOV lanes were backing up traffic, and rain was threatening — again.

They played it safe and stayed near the hotel so as not to miss their flight.

As I write this, they’ve visited Grandma and are in Banff, where mountains defy the forces of gravity, before their return to Australia.

I hope to visit them there someday.

Shedding light on electronic music in The Cave

BY RACHEL LEVY-McLAUGHLIN

It seems anyone who can blend songs together these days is calling themself a DJ. A recent graduate of York University, however, is using the resources at Markham Public Library to teach people how to be more than songblenders, but creators of their own electronic music.

Josh Tan is using little-known library resources to their full potential through his workshops designed to teach aspiring musicians to use the music production software Ableton.

Tan’s workshops take place at the Cornell Community Centre and Library. The first workshop, on July 14 from 7 to 8:30 p.m., focuses on orientation of the interface of the program Ableton and song basics.

The second, on July 28, is an indepth exploration of the program and the parameters of synthesizers and automation.

Tan began dabbling in electronic music production four years ago and quickly switched to Ableton. “It’s very easy to use once you understand the interface,” said Tan. “It’s very intuitive and lets you run with your ideas.”

Tan calls his electronic music “out of the box”, meaning it does not have the mainstream music idea behind it. “The whole program is allowing you to make whatever music you want, go about it however you want, and make it sound however you want,” said Tan. “It’s an open canvass.”

Along with teaching the workings of the Ableton program, Tan is shedding light on a little-known facet of the Markham Public Library: The Cave.

‘no one knows about it’ The Cave, or Creative Audio Visual Experience, is a little room (aptly named) equipped for multimedia productions.

The room contains four computers all loaded with design, movie, music and sound production software. It also has green and blue screens, microphones, scanners, keyboards, a digital drawing tablet and a 3D printer.

For those less technologically intuitive, there are links to tutorials for the software programs and other equipment in The Cave.

The library also hosts workshops throughout the year at the suggestion of its members and its website

visitors.

“We opened The Cave about a year ago,” said Diane Macklin, manager of marketing and communications for the Markham Public Library. “It is evolving into something bigger and better than what we started with.”

“It’s great for anyone interested in multimedia,” said Tan. “It’s like a dream come true to have these resources available, and no one really knows about it.”

Though Tan’s workshops cannot be held in The Cave itself (as room capacity is around eight people), he will be using some of its resources to demonstrate the uses of Ableton.

“The whole ethos behind the workshop is to get access to this tool and make it readily available to use,” said Tan. “Markham is a growing community and it would be great to foster a group of people who are all trying to make music together.”

Participants are asked to bring a laptop with the Ableton program installed (a 30-day free trial is available). Registration is free. RSVP on EventBrite: bitly.com/abletonworkshop. The library is at 3201 Bur Oak Ave.

Josh Tan is teaching the art of electronic music creation in workshops at Cornell Community Centre and Library.

French language services coming to Markham in 2018

By Laura Finney

lfinney@yrmg.com

Bonjour Markham. Ontario is now expanding the French languages services in the city.

Starting July 1, 2018, all Ontario government offices in Markham will offer French language services under the French Language Services Act. “We’re extremely proud to have this bestowed upon the city on behalf of all the francophones within Markham,” said Mona Babin, executive director of the Association des francophones de la region de York.

According to the province, over 4,000 francophones live in the City of Markham, and 16,000 live in York Region.

“The perception is that people in Quebec are all French and outside of that people are fluently English, and that is not the case,” said Babin.

Markham will join other cities, such as Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton.

When an area becomes designated under the act, the province provides French-language services equivalent in quality and availability to the services that are offered in English.

We’regivingawayupto

This decision will not only help those who speak French, or those who are more comfortable speaking French, it also will help preserve culture and heritage explained Babin.

FRANK SCARPITTI: Provincial initiative will ensure French is encouraged in Markham.

“The big thing behind this law is to hold on to your culture,” she said. “If I look at Markham it has a heritage area in Thornhill, a heritage area in Markham, a heritage area in Unionville. I can tell you they are extremely active and people hold on to heritage very closely.”

Additionally, French is a part of Canada’s history, and Ontario’s.

This year the province will be celebrating 400 years since francophones first came to Ontario.

“This year marks 400 years of French presence in Ontario, and its wonderful to see that in this special year Ontario is expanding access to French-language provincial services on par with English services,” said Michael Chan, MPP for Markham-Unionville.

“Expanding French services is an important part of building up Markham’s economic, social and cultural prosperity.”

Eight provincial ministries or agencies have offices in Markham, including the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, the Ministry of Community and Social Services and the Ministry of Children and Youth Services.

Markham’s designation under the act is a result of strong local community support, said the province, and Babin wanted to thank both the Ontario government and the municipal government for their support.

“As the most diverse city in Canada Markham is proud to receive the Province of Ontario’s official French Language Services Designation that enables services to be provided to our residents by provincial agencies,” said Mayor Frank Scarpitti. “This initiative will ensure Canada’s official languages are encouraged in our community.”

On July 13, Markham will be displaying a French exhibit called Lafrancophonie ontarienne: d’hier à demain’ at the Civic Centre for four weeks.

The travelling exhibit, Ontario’s Francophonie: Then and Now, recognizes and celebrates the history of Ontario’s Francophonie and its contribution to the province’s development. It will be in Markham July 13.

1st Place Prize

Barns, history inspire public artwork The City of Markham unveiled a new piece of public art at the Markham Museum this week.

It is called Gambrel Journey, by kipjones, a 21-foot tall steel post and aluminum beam structure that blends Markham’s history with Markham’s future.

It references a Gambrel barn, which was a common structure in the Markham area when it was rural and long before it was a city. At the time, Gambrel barn-raising was a collaborative, community activity.

The upper portion of the structure reflects the future of Markham, its changing and 2014

growing environment. It mirrors the foundation barn below, giving it an open, ascending feel. The bronze replica Ramer bench, sitting adjacent to the sculpture, completes the work, bringing it back to human scale.

Artist kipjones has built and designed public art projects all over Canada, including works for the Calgary International Airport and in Whistler, B.C. This newest work at the Markham Museum focuses on settlement, environment and technology, combining all three to honour the journey of Markham’s settlers.

Canadian supporters including Curt Harnett (lower right) and Mayor Frank Scarpitti cheer on their team. The first action of the 2015 Pan Am Games took place in Markham.

Pan Ams make splash

BY MICHAEL HAYAKAWA

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

Let the 2015 Pan American Games begin.

In Markham that is.

After years of planning and construction for the largest multi-sport event ever held on Canadian soil, with a cost pegged at $2.5-billion, the 2015 Pan Am Games dipped its toe in the water at the Atos Markham Pan Am/ Parapan Am Centre Tuesday morning.

While Friday’s opening ceremonies mark the official start of Toronto 2015, the first competition of the Games tipped off in a stateof-the-art pool, located off Kennedy Road and north of Hwy. 407 where Venezuela faced off against Puerto Rico in women’s water polo and played to an 11-11 tie.

Following that match, the United States cruised to a 25-3 win over Mexico.

Canada then faced Brazil in a match that ended in a 7-7 draw to conclude the early session.

Those in attendance were impressed with what they witnessed on the opening day of the Games and to see the multi-sport competition finally commence in the recently completed $80-million facility that will also host the badminton and table tennis events.

“It’s here, we’re excited for this moment,” said Mayor Frank Scarpitti.

“It’s great to see the Pan Am Games get started here in Markham before the opening ceremonies. We’re cheer-

ing for Canada. It’s what it’s all about, to build the Pan Am spirit.

“It’s great to have this facility and to have it help in increasing the number of Canadian athletes in the future. We opened this facility last November and this is why we went after the Games. We’re excited to be a host city.”

Curt Harnett, former Canadian Olympic and Pan Am Games cyclist who is serving as the chef de mission for Canada’s contingent at the Pan Am Games, was in total agreement.

‘Lucky to have it’ “It’s a great day to kick off 19 days of world class competition with what we saw today,” he said. “It was great to see the Canadian women’s team fighting right to the end. To watch water polo in person it can change people’s minds of what it takes to be a great athlete.”

As for the facility, Harnett said it will serve the City of Markham well not just for the Pan Am Games but in years ahead.

“It’s a significant asset for the City of Markham,” he said. “Frank (Scarpitti) has done a great job with his leadership to have an Olympic-sized pool and an amazing field house accompanying it.

Also pleased with the facilities were the participants.

Many of whom had an early baptism with it when a test event was conducted

earlier this year.

“It’s an amazing facility,” said Team Canada player Emma Wright, who scored a goal to put Canada ahead 7-6 before Brazil battled back to tie the game. “It’s one of the better ones in the world that I’ve been in and it ranks right up there with some of the best like the one when we were in Barcelona and used the one that they had during the Olympics.”

Patrick Oaten, Brazil’s head women’s team coach and a former high performance director of the Canadian women’s water polo program, gave the facility a thumbs up.

“It’s fantastic,” he said without any hesitation. “We did a test event in January and I wish there were more facilities like this one in Canada. I’m a sports-minded guy and when I was here (in Canada) I didn’t like to be recognized as being a onesport nation.

“When I saw the plans for the facility I said the people in Markham are lucky to have it.”

“The pool is great,” added Johanne Begin, Team Canada women’s head coach.

The only concern she had was the absence of an adjacent dryland warmup area in the building.

“Most of the facilities have a gym part where we can do dryland training,” she said. “To have that would be a plus.”

Attention To Kill a Mockingbird fans, the release date for the book’s sequel Go Set A Watchman is July 14 and the Markham Library is celebrating.

Next Thursday they will be hosting a Mockingbird Picnic with lemonade, pie and copies of the new book.

“We delight in any opportunity to celebrate literature and reading, especially when there is delicious pie involved,” said Ange Friesen, Community Librarian.

According to publisher Harper Collins Canada, Go Set A Watchman was written in the 1950’s and was submitted by author Harper Lee to publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird.

It was thought to be lost until it was discovered last year, and features a Scout, or Jean Louise Finch, as an adult.

Black lives in Markham and is looking forward to playing for the home crowd.

“It’s nice to have my family close by,” she said, adding her mom does not always have the opportunity to see her concerts in downtown Toronto.

Black is excited to be part of the Pan Am events.

“Everybody expects TO2015 to be about Toronto, but Pan Am has spread across so many awesome cities,” she said. “When Markham offered, I had to say yes, this is where it is home.”

She did admit it was a little strange to see her face on one of the promotional billboards in Markham.

“I did a double take,” she said, adding her success is still surprising.

“It will always be a surprise to me,” she said. “This is my passion, it’s my purpose, I did absolutely nothing to earn this gift of song so I don’t want to take it

Jully Black headlines Globalfest’s opening night July 11. for granted.”

A rabid bat found near Stouffville June 26 has the Regional Municipality of York issuing an advisement to residents of WhitchurchStouffville and beyond.

It’s the first reported case of rabies in a bat in York Region since one was found in Woodbridge in 2013.

“Every few years ... but it is infrequent,” said Joseph Mancuso, manager of the region’s health protection division.

The bat was found by a homeowner in the largely rural Bloomington Road and Tenth Line area, north of the community of Stouffville and near the town’s border with Uxbridge Township, the region announced Friday.

No case of humans contacting the virus have been reported in York in at least 25 years, Mancuso said.

Other recent cases of rabid animals were in Newmarket and Georgina.

Infection with the rabies virus can be fatal, but there’s no cause for alarm.

“There’s no reason to panic,” he said.

Vaccines can be destroyed by a post-exposure virus.

If you think you have been infected, go to the hospital or your doctor, Mancuso said.

The rabies virus affects the central nervous system of warm-blooded mammals, including humans, and is transmitted through a bite, lick or scratch from an infected animal.

While most reported cases involve wild animals such as bats, foxes, raccoons and skunks, dogs and cats – which by law must be vaccinated – are also at risk.

While the percentage of rabies-infected bats in Ontario is considered low, people should avoid approaching or coming into contact with bats – they are wild animals and should not be kept as pets in or near your home. Professional assistance may be required to remove bats living on your property.

Tips to avoid infection · If you discover a bat that is injured, acting strange or dead, do not touch it – contact a wildlife or pest removal company to remove it · If you discover a bat in your home, leave the room, close the door and contact a wildlife or pest removal company – never touch a bat with your bare hands · Bats can transmit the rabies virus to domestic pets such as dogs and cats, ensure your pet’s vaccinations are up-to-date · If you suspect your pets or livestock have come in contact with a rabid animal, contact the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs’ Agricultural Information Contact Centre at 1-877-424-1300 · If you suspect you may have been bitten, scratched or had contact with a bat or rabid animal, immediately wash the wound with soap and water for a minimum of 15 minutes, contact your family doctor for advice and report the incident to York Region Public Health at 1-800-361-5653

York school boards laud top high school students

By Laura Finney

lfinney@yrmg.com

It’s not easy being perfect, but two students Father Michael McGivney Catholic Academy just graduated with perfect scores.

Shikha Patel and Amy Li are this year’s top graduating students in the York Catholic Dis-

trict School Board. Patel earned 100 percent in seven Grade 12 classes and Li scored 100 per cent in six of Grade 12 classes.

Both students were enrolled in the school’s International Baccalaureate program, which is considered more challenging and intensive than regular curricu-

lum and took classes like biology and chemistry.

Shikha will study Health Sciences at McMaster University in September and Li will be taking Medical Sciences at Western.

Other stop students from the catholic board include Alicia Chung from St. Augustine

Catholic High School and Joshua De Sousa Casal from St. Brother Andre Catholic High School who both scored 97.5 per cent.

The York Region District School Board also released a list of their three top scholars that included Hanzhen Lin from Markham District High School

who earned a 99.2 percent average.

On top of that list was Jonathan Wong Bayview from Secondary School with a 99.66 percent average followed by Mario Vujinovic from Newmarket High School who scored 99.33 percent.

he quantity and heartfelt quality of the condolences sent to Maurice “Moe” Buckle’s family following his passing May 14, 2015 at 71, are more than tributes; they also serve as poignant characterizations of the beloved Keswick man’s life.

Personally and professionally, Moe, as most called him, had a legion of connections, son Chris Buckle said.

“He had a network of people over the span of his life,” he recalled. “He had a lot of friends and acquaintances.”

Moe had a magnetic personally, his son recalled.

“He had a calming, warm presence,” he said. “He was always inviting you in. Congenial, serious, fun, he was all of the above as appropriate for the occasion.

“He was a jokester who enjoyed a good laugh and a good party.”

Moe was also a respected professional.

A former police officer, he served on both Metro Toronto and York Regional Police forces. He worked for Dawson’s Marina in Keswick for several years and, for the past 22 years, successfully managed and consulted at Traffic Ticket Advocates in Newmarket. Chris continues to work at the company, providing legal services specializing in Highway Traffic Act offences.

He worked until the end, Chris said, adding his father instilled invaluable life lessons.

“He always said if you put the time and effort in, you’ll get it back,” he said. “He was never a slacker. He worked for everything he had.”

Commiserations poured in.

“A great man that in a lot of ways was larger than life and had a big heart to match,” wrote Debo-

rah Cherry. “He enjoyed life and helped many in many ways during his life.”

“Maurice was a special soul and will be greatly missed,” Michael and Katherine Fuchs said.

“He was a true gentleman, always smiling and very professional to the court clerks,” Janet Mills offered. “He will be remembered for a very long time.”

“He was a sage man with a twinkle in his eye, always ready to lend a helping hand,” Trina Wood said. “Moe’s enthusiasm for life set a standard for us all.”

Jim Oates noted that Moe was

always a gentleman who treated everyone with respect.

“He was well respected by members of the paralegal community, court staff and members of the judiciary,” he said. “We will miss seeing him on a daily basis at the courts in York Region.”

Joanne and Marty Allain wrote, “Moe’s presence was a gift to us all,” Anne and George England were his next door neighbours and friends on Bob Lake, where they enjoyed meals, drinks and good times together for many years.

Daughter-in-law Kelly Buckle said Moe’s twin grandchildren, Keira and Carter, 9, were the centre point of his life.

“They called him Papa,” she said. “He was always a fun Papa, ready to teach them anything.”

Chris and his brother, Brad, will miss their father’s presence the most they said haltingly.

“I’m sure a lot of people will agree with us,” Chris said.
