Vets, health authorities issue Lyme tick warning

BY KIM ZARZOUR

kzarzour@yrmg.com

This warm weather may have you itching to get outdoors, but it also means ticks are out there too, presenting a danger to you and your pets.

York veterinarians are reporting that ticks, which can carry Lyme disease, have been spotted already this year in several places, including downtown Aurora, forested trails in York Region and Jokers Hill in Newmarket.

Three ticks have been removed from dogs so far, says Adelle Ismond, who works at the Golf Glen veterinary clinic in Aurora.

No ticks have been reported yet at Richmond Hill’s Don Head Village veterinarian clinic, but that doesn’t mean they’re not out there, says

practice manager Amanda Malach.

“They’re especially bad in the east, around Stouffville or Markham ... the Rouge Valley is just infested,” she said.

Last year, Richmond Hill vet Enna Hughes’ Labrador Molly was infected with Lyme.

She was extremely ill, Malach said.

“She definitely picked it up in Thornhill Woods... we think a tick got in her paw pads,” Malach said. “She was in extreme pain everywhere, extreme lethargy, conjunctivitis in both eyes. It was full immune shutdown.”

Molly was successfully treated and recovered, she said, but “it was nasty, just nasty”.

above 4C, Ismond says, and they are often found in tall grass and dry leaves.

Ticks hatch in spring and are most active while still young, which means now is the most dangerous time to venture into tick-infested areas.

To stay safe, avoid thickly wooded, grassy or boggy areas and when outdoors, wear long pants and long-sleeved tops that are light coloured to help spot ticks, closed footwear and tuck your pants into your socks.

York Region public health also advises using an insect repellent containing “DEET” applied according to manufacturer’s directions.

tive from your vet — but it’s expensive.

“Unfortunately, there’s no one product that fits all in Ontario right now,” Malach said.

To be safe, pets require a combination of tick and heartworm medication that, depending on the dog’s size, can cost $150 to more than $200, she said.

Since songbirds widely disperse Lyme disease vector ticks, people do not have to visit a trouble area to contract Lyme disease, according to a recent study in the International Journal of Medical Sciences.

“Infected ticks are a big problem everywhere, but we have not always been given up-to-date or accurate information,” said Linda Kelso, facilitator with the York North Support Group.

John D. Scott, research scientist with Lyme Ontario, and his colleagues conducted a tick study in the Dundas, Ont., area, near Hamilton, and found that 41 per cent of the blacklegged tick adults are infected.

The study also revealed that the local public health unit was under-reporting infected blacklegged ticks by more than 600 times.

Recent studies show migratory songbirds transport the disease into southwestern Ontario during spring migration.

After feeding, engorged ticks detach and descend into the cool, moist leaf litter on the ground. Within five to eight weeks, these ticks molt to the next life stage, and begin looking for people and domestic animals, such as

Readership of weekly community newspapers in Ontario is very strong, according to the Community Newspaper Readership Report released by BrandSpark International. The report, conducted in partnership with Metroland Media, found that 73 per cent of Ontarians surveyed have read at least one of the last four issues of their Metroland community paper.

That rate is 83 per cent for the papers in Metroland’s York Region – including Richmond Hill/Thornhill Liberal, Markham Economist & Sun, Vaughan Citizen and other York papers.

Most notably, just under nine in 10 (87 per cent) younger adults surveyed between the ages of 18 and 35 are reading their community newspaper as much or more often this year than last year. That number jumps to 92 per cent for all adults surveyed.

“I think it’s fair to say that we were surprised at the strength of community newspapers in light of how print in general is perceived,” said Mark Baltazar, vice-president and partner at BrandSpark International. “These findings reinforce how much local information matters to Ontarians. Community newspapers are playing a major role in the lives of the people we studied, keeping them connected to what’s going on in their own backyards.”

Compared to last year, 13 per cent of the people surveyed indicate they are reading Metroland newspapers more often, while almost 80 per cent have not changed their readership habits. Only 6 per cent of the people indicate they are reading it less.

“This news certainly reinforces the feedback that we’ve heard from our readers across the province,” said Michelle Digulla, vice-president of marketing at Metroland Media. “There is a strong appetite for the community-level, hyperlocal news that community newspapers, in print and online, are uniquely set up to deliver.”

More than 13,000 adults across Ontario were surveyed online and by phone for the study, which was completed from Nov. 24 to Jan. 31.

The study focused on readership for the more than 100 local websites and community newspapers (including flyers) published across Ontario by Metroland Media. The margin of error is plus or minus 0.94 per cent.

Judge’s OK to appeal OMB decision on parkland ‘big’ victory

‘Wretched illness’ warns 15-year Lyme disease sufferer

their ability to determine how much greenspace their communities need.

Developers Elginbay, Zamani Homes, Halover Investments, Montanaro Estates, William and Yvonne Worden, Robert Salna and Salna Holdings opposed the town in its motion to set a parkland rate.

In a Toronto courtroom, Judge Wilton-Siegel agreed with the town’s request to appeal Seaborn’s decision, saying there is “sufficient reason to doubt the reasonableness of the board’s [OMB’s] statutory interpretation”. It also raises the issue of the extent to which the OMB can override the discretion of municipal councils, Wilton-Siegel said.

The fact that four other large

be able to do the things that you love to do most in that condition?

“Whether you’re young or old, rich or poor, you’re at risk,” Gamper said, adding the disease is especially devastating because the current healthcare system does not do a good job of diagnosing and treating the infection in humans.

PROTECT YOURSELF: After an outdoor outing, hikers should do a full-body tick check. If an attached tick is found, it should be promptly removed with super-fine stainless steel tweezers.The tick should be positively identified and tested for tick-borne diseases.

Blacklegged ticks can harbour at least nine different tick-associated pathogens and can transmit them during a tick bite. In fact, the Deer Tick Virus can be transmitted in less than 15 minutes.

As well, human anaplasmosis can be transmitted in less than 24 hours.

If the salivary glands of the tick are infected, the Lyme disease bacterium can be transmitted in less than 16 hours when the tick starts to feed and regurgitate.

urban municipalities obtained intervenor status in the proceeding and support Richmond Hill indicates the issue is a significant one, she said.

For more than five years, the town has waged a battle against developers to secure greenspace.

This week’s ruling is an important victory for the town, and a rare case of the courts allowing an appeal to an OMB decision, said Ana Bassios, the town commissioner of planning.

The next step will involve a hearing before three divisional court judges for a final decision.

“This is a big one, not just for us but ... it speaks to communities’ fundamental ability to provide parkspace,” Bassios said.

NS

A decision by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice this week is being hailed as a victory for Richmond Hill and for those who wish to retain greenspace in fast-growing suburbs around the GTA. Divisional Court Judge WiltonSiegel has given the Town permission to appeal last year’s OMB decision that placed a cap on the amount of parkland a municipality can seek from developers.

That precedent-setting decision,

by OMB vice-chairperson Jan De Pencier Seaborn, ruled against the Town of Richmond Hill requiring developers to set aside park space or

cash-in-lieu at a rate of one hectare for 300 residential units.

It had been an attempt by the town to preserve greenspace and offer parks for new residents as the town grows, but Seaborn struck it down last January, saying the town must cap its requirement at 25 percent of the developable area of the site or the cash-in-lieu equivalent.

The town argued this would limit a municipality’s ability to pay for parks as its community grows at a rate mandated by the province.

Four other municipalities — Markham, Vaughan, Mississauga and Oakville — threw their support behind the town, saying the OMB overstepped its bounds and impaired

dogs and cats, to latch onto.

As it disseminates in the body, a myriad of symptoms commonly unfold, including fatigue, headaches, lowgrade fever, stiff neck/back, disturbed sleep, memory and sensory loss, the study said.

It can lead to migratory joint ache and pain and tingling and affect areas throughout body. Left untreated or inadequately treated, it can impact deepseated tissues such as bone, brain and eye muscle ligaments and tendons.

In some cases, this persistent infection is fatal, the study said.

“It’s a wretched illness that is capable of interfering with every single aspect of life: work, relationships, finances, hobbies, leisure activities,” said Christina Gamper, a Richmond Hill resident who has been struggling with the disease for 15 years.

“Imagine not eating for two days so you’re feeling kind of weak, not having slept for three days, feeling lightheaded and having the aches and pains of the flu with 15-lb weights strapped to your limbs and no amount of flu medication will give you relief.

“How would you do at work in that condition? How would you manage to look after your family? Would you

Ontario’s bike friendly dream

Stronger penalities needed

T

he province says it will spend $25 million over two years to make Ontario a more bicycle friendly place, establishing more bike lanes and making roads safer for riders.

Will it make a difference? If you’re not a regular bicycle rider now, might you ever become one?

I’m not so sure. Even though it would be a great thing if it did happen, making us more fit and eco friendly, I wonder if we will ever change.

When I was a kid, I used to ride my bike everywhere.

As soon as the weather would allow it, I’d ride my bike to school.

I’d ride my bike delivering newspapers ot to the corner store on errands when my mom said we needed milk or bread.

I rode my bike to my baseball games, cleats on the pedals, glove on the seat under me. I rode my bike around the block with the other neighbourhood kids when we had “nothing to do”.

We loved our bikes because, when it was not bicycle season, we had to walk.

A ride to school? Are you ill?

Broken leg?

We trudged through snow and longed for better weather when we could get out our bikes again.

Despite that great start in the world of cycling, strangely, as soon as we were old enough to drive, we typically abandoned bike riding.

All we wanted was to drive our parents’ cars or, once we could afford it, our own.

Cycling was kids’ stuff.

I have to say we’ve come a long way from that time.

All across York’s more rural roads you see people — adults — riding bikes for exercise, or competition, their colourful and tightfitting outfits hard to miss.

It looks like a great way to get outdoors, stay fit and enjoy some camaraderie.

Meanwhile today’s bikes are incredible. Walk into a modern bike shop and check out what’s available. Well made, reliable, they can easily serve as a mode of daily transportation.

Yet we still don’t see many people, except in downtown Toronto,

Bernie O’Neill using a bike as a basic mode of transport.

True, things are more spread out for most of us. Few of us hit the jackpot where our workplace is a reasonable bike ride away from our home.

There is the weather. Southern Ontario has some of the most variable weather in the country. Often humid.Sunny in the morning, rainy in the afternoon, or viceversa. Makes showing up at work in presentable shape, or getting home without getting drenched, a challenge.

But to me? It’s really the safety issue that makes me nervous about cycling and makes me nervous about my kids being on their bikes.

I grew up when people didn’t drive like they seem to drive today.

Fewer cars. Life was less rushed.

People driving a car were actually looking at the road.

Most of our designated bike lanes are just markings on the edge of streets on which traffic is roaring by. An imaginary line. I don’t know why we even bother.

I’ve seen places like downtown Montreal where the bike lane is actually a lane. They have taken space away from the cars and put up two-foot tall concrete barriers between where the bikes go and where the cars go.

Cyclists are everywhere thanks to those actions. Will we ever do that in Ontario, where the car is king, carmakers are big employers, and we all race everywhere in our SUVs, including driving our kids everywhere?

Sometimes action needs to be bolder or why waste the $25 million? I’d say spend it on 100,000 “free” bikes for needy kids, if I was sure they had a safe place to ride.

Or don’t spend it at all.

Take refresher courses

Re: What will it take to stop scourge on our roads?, column

by Marney Beck, April 14.

This column about drinking and driving and the latest tragedy shows the current system is not working. It is long overdue for our politicians to change the law, if they have the courage.

A person must be forced to make the decision whether to drink and drive, BEFORE taking the first drink. Afterward they are mentally impaired, and cannot make a serious decision.

The dangers of drinking and driving are being advertised now as a result of the many service ads from MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving).

Unfortunately, people still drink and drive, thinking, “I will only have one or two. I can handle it”.

The problem is, the real consequences only happen after an accident happens.

This is too late! People are maimed and killed.

The consequence must be changed so that if a person is caught drinking and driving, they lose their licence for six months, not seven days (seven days is a joke).

The second occurrence, they should lose it for one year; the third occurrence they lose it for five years.

This would cause people to think before they start drinking.

The law must be changed so people know the consequence to them before climbing in their car.

That is the time to make the decision, knowing if they are caught there will be a severe consequence.

Perhaps MADD could press for this.

Re: What will it take to stop scourge on our roads?, column

by Marney Beck, April 14.

I agree with this column [on drinking and driving] and I, too, have my stories.

But to cut to the chase, in my opinion, we need regulations that require us all to answer questions about road rules, regulations, handling of a car, how one drives under this and that condition — all before we are allowed to renew our driver’s licence.

So many professions require consistent upgrading of skills, why not driving?

Another idea is if a citizen needs to take a refresher course, these courses should be run after work i.e. 6 to 9 p.m. during a work week or on Saturday or Sunday between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.

I wonder if these ideas resonate with anyone.

Bicycle lanes not being well used Re: Pedalling funds for

SEND A LETTER: Email your letters to the editor to mbeck@yrmg.com JOIN CONVERSATION: Be the first to comment at yorkregion.com cycling paths, April 7.

Bicycle lanes have been installed all over Markham in the last few years. The lanes are not being used on a regular basis by cyclists.

To encourage cyclists to use the lanes on a day to day basis a campaign is required to highlight the positives of using them.

Another article - York children get to school by car: study, yorkregion.com - could be a used as a launch pad to promote bicycle lanes use.

A slogan can be used “get out of the car and get on your bike” to encourage students to get back and forth to school on their bikes.

Lincoln Concept brings big to the Big Apple

By Jim Robinson Metroland Wheels

create an overhead image that allows drivers to see all around the vehicle.

NEW YORK: The “Domestic Three” had a subdued presence at the New York International Auto Show with one major exception - the Lincoln Navigator Concept, which was the talk of the event floor.

Lincoln described it as a “a glimpse at what comes next for the brand’s best-known nameplate.”

Easily its most outstanding feature was the huge gullwing doors and three-step staircase entry into the most specious Lincoln ever with six, 30-way seats and custom wardrobe management system that holds gear “chosen for a day on the water.”

The driver can select from several ride and handling modes for steering, suspension and noise levels. Each mode is accompanied by a matching digital animation in the cluster.

It is powered by a 3.5-litre EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 with more than 400 hp.

To park such a big SUV, there is a 360-degree camera with enhanced park assist technology. It seamlessly integrates views from four cameras to

2017 Lincoln concept overshadows other domestic cars at NYIAS Continued from page 9

Chrysler introduced new exterior and interior sports appearance packages on the 2017 300S. More purposeful front and rear fascias with unique LED fog lamps plus sculpted side sills and deck-lid spoiler are included with the Exterior Sport Appearance Package.

A new Ceramic Grey exterior paint gives the 300S what Chrysler says is a “straight shade hue for a truly avant-garde look.”

The ZL1 Coupe and Convertible are both powered by a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 with 640 hp and a choice of six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission.

Going on sale later this year, it features GM’s Magnetic ride suspension and electronic limitedslip rear differential.

with an available more powerful 1.4-litre turbo and a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmissions driving the front wheels.

A rear view camera is now standard as well as 10 airbags and Stabilitrak electronic stability control with optional Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning.

The convertible version of the 2017 Camaro ZL1 made its appearance with all the same performance thanks to the Camaro’s modular and rigid body architecture which was designed from the outset to support a high-performance convertible.

DODGE/CHRYSLER: Dodge was showing its colours in New York with a return to a heritage paint job called Go Mango on the 2016 Challenger SXT and Charger SXT. Go Mango was first seen on the 1970 Challenger.

BUICK: Claimed as “North America’s most popular small SUV”, the 2017 Buick Encore debuted in New York

with a new front-end treatment and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto supported by a next-generation IntelliLink infotainment system featuring an eightinch-diagonal colour touch screen.

It is also the third all-new or significantly updated Buick coming to Canada in 2016, joining the Envision compact SUV and LaCrosse sedan.

Despite its small outward size, Encore features seating for up to five and 1,371 litres (48.4 cu ft) of cargo volume with the 60/40 rear seat folded.

It also comes with Buick’s exclusive QuietTuning standard that uses Bose Active Noise Cancellation technology.

General Motors is turning its employees’ recycled water bottles into a new life producing a noise-reducing fabric insulation that covers the Chevrolet Equinox engine.

The bottles, collected from five of its Michigan facilities, are also being turned into air filtration components and insulation in coats for the homeless community.

Given its drive to zero waste, all of GM’s global facilities recycle their water bottles.

However, the bottles collected at the five locations are now funneled into its “Do Your Part” project, where 11 businesses collaborate to give them a second life.

The air filtration components are used in GM facilities to protect air quality; and the insulation goes into Empowerment Plan coats that transform into sleeping bags.

GM demonstrates how a supply chain can become a supply web where business opportunities stem from an original project, furthering the mission and driving more social and economic impact.

Each partner engaged in this initiative brings specific capabilities.

Hamtramck Recycling bails the plastic bottles collected from GM’s world headquarters at the Renaissance Center, Warren Technical Center, and Orion Assembly, Flint Tool and Die, and Flint Engine plants. Clean Tech Inc. washes the bottles and converts them to flake. Unifi, Inc. recycles the bottle flake into resin.

GM uses recycled content in many of its vehicles.

Cardboard from various GM plants is recycled into a sound-dampening material in the Buick Verano headliner; plastic caps and shipping aids from its Fort Wayne facility are mixed with other materials to make radiator shrouds for the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra; and test tires from Milford Proving Ground are shredded and used in the manufacturing of air and water baffles for a variety of GM cars.

Because the treatment is non-surgical, safe and easy, most patients report an almost immediate relief from their pain.

Patient Catherine M. from Richmond Hill says, “I woke up every morning with low back pain that was unbearable and searing burning pain I felt into my leg.

I had trouble doing anything I did before like running, and working out, and even being at work was extremely difficult.

The drugs my MD prescribed hardly did anything.

I am so happy with the results. I no longer live in pain and the burning I had…

I only wish I knew about Chiropractic sooner.”

You may soon have a new, and quicker, way to deal with parking tickets in Richmond Hill.

Town council has approved a change that would avoid the use of busy provincial offences courts in the case of disputed fines, and may bring the municipality more than $500,000 in lost parking ticket revenue.

If given final approval by council Monday, the new Administrative Monetary Penalty System will replace the system currently administered under the Provincial Offences Act. Several municipalities, including Oshawa, Vaughan, Brampton, Burlington, Mississauga, Markham and Oakville, have already adopted the new system with “overall positive” results, according to a staff report discussed at a committee of the whole meeting Monday night.

“I only wish we had done this sooner because ... it is a win-win for both the court system in the province as well as municipalities,” said Councillor Godwin Chan.

Currently, eight full-time and four part-time parking control enforcement officers (along with York Regional Police officers and private agencies authorized by the town) have authority to issue parking tickets.

The town issues more than 31,000 parking tickets every year, but a significant amount of the fines is not collected, the report said. Under the current system, the town recovered about 62 per cent of the face value of tickets in 2014 — $1,161,000 of a total worth $1,871,000.

Part of the problem is the existing process required to obtain a conviction for a ticket under the Provincial Offences Act is “cumbersome, expensive, time consuming and often leads to lengthy delays,” said Alek Antoniuk, supervisor with policy, legislative and regulatory services.

In 2014, 6,417 tickets were disputed (about 21 per cent of those issued).

Court time allocated to the town for parking infraction trials has been cut back and is expected to be reduced further in order to provide time for more serious crimes, the report said. As a result, it’s common for tickets to be voided or written-off due to a court date not being scheduled within a reasonable timeframe.

“The amount of uncollected fines for parking tickets has grown steadily since 1990,” Antoniuk said. “There were 37,866 outstanding parking tickets owing a total of $2,385,902 to the Town of Richmond Hill as of Dec. 31.”

When a ticket is disputed, the town is pressured to use a “facilitation process” (lowering fines with education about illegal parking, or in cases of financial hardship) in order to reduce the burden on the courts. But that has reduced revenue — $390,000 less in 2014, the report said.

The new system may resolve this, at the same time making it more “citizen-friendly”, Antoniuk said.

Under the new system, the town would issue a penalty notice on a vehicle that is in contravention of the parking bylaw. The recipient could request a review of the ticket by a “screening officer” and if unsatisfied with the outcome, could request a review of the decision by a “hearing officer” — both of whom would be appointed by council.

Individuals may request an extension of time to pay their ticket from a screening officer or hearing officer.

The provincial offences court will no longer be available and the ruling by the hearing officer — a “legally trained, neutral decision-maker”, often a retired justice of the peace or lawyer — will be final.

Individuals can pay their tickets online via paytickets. ca, in person at town hall, or by mailing a cheque to the Town of Richmond Hill.

Communities that have launched this program report good results, the report said.

“I am so pleased with this report,” said Regional Councillor Vito Spatafora, moving for approval.

“The actual cost of this system is a fraction of what can be gained.”

Ingrid Taheri is one of four Markham women to receive a recent Leading Women, Building Communities Award — recognized for her work in raising mental health awareness.

A pivotal moment for Taheri came in 2014 when she decided to combine her love of music — she taught piano for 15 years — with her background in corporate communications.

Taheri created High Notes Gala for Mental Health, an annual event showcasing the lives and talents of artists who have faced mental health challenges. Some 400 people are expected to attend the High Notes event at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts April 28.

One message Taheri hopes to convey is that you can have a good life despite struggles with mental health.

She has spoken about her own family’s struggles with mental illness.

“Although my life shifted when my daughter suffered a mental health crisis, we knew how lucky we were that she reached out for help, because many people don’t,” Taheri said.

Taheri’s daughter wasn’t the only person in the family to struggle with mental health issues. Taheri’s father struggled with depression and at his lowest, came close to taking his own life.

Luckily, he received help and went on to lead a full life, becoming a role model of hope for Taheri’s family.

“Now it is my mission to use the power of words and music to reduce the stigma that surrounds mental illness so others also will ask for help,” she said. “I’ve sworn to do what I can to elevate the status of mental illness survivors.

They deserve just as much respect as cancer survivors receive.”

Actress Luba Goy, mezzo soprano Jean Stilwell and Grammy-nominated flute player Ron Korb will be featured at the gala, along with speakers Dr. David Goldbloom, senior medical advisor with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and co-author of the book How Can I Help?

A Week in My Life as a Psychiatrist, and mental health advocate and publisher Bill McPhee, describing life after mental illness.

For $35 tickets, call 905787-8811 or visit rhcentre.ca.

Salary hikes approved for staff, union Richmond Hill council has ratified a two-year agreement with its Salaried Employees Association.

The deal, approved by council at a meeting last week, will see 270 full-time employees receiving pay hikes of 2 per cent retroactively for 2015, and 1.3 per cent for 2016.

The annual increase for 2015 is consistent with the increase already approved by council for Richmond Hill’s CUPE Local 905 staff, and funds have been included in the town’s 2016 draft operating budget.

“This agreement recognizes the value and contribution these employees make by providing the services Richmond Hill residents depend upon while recognizing current economic conditions,” said Samara Kaplan, director of human resources for the town.

Similar increases were approved for administrative - Kim Zarzour staff and elected members of council.

Protect your smile with a sports mouthguard With warm weather finally here, parents and kids alike are looking forward to getting outdoors. But outdoor sports come with a risk. The use of mouthguards in sports has been proven to reduce the risk of orofacial injuries. Dental hygienists see first-hand the impact of injuries to the teeth, gums, and jaws, and can custom-fit a sports mouthguard for you during a regular dental visit.

If you’re kids play hockey, soccer, football, rugby, martial arts, lacrosse, boxing, basketball, baseball, or if you enjoy BMX, or skateboarding, find out if

the organization requires mandatory mouthguard protection. If it doesn’t, ask why?

The average cost of a custom-fitted sports mouthguard can be as low as $50, while the estimated cost

to treat a lost front tooth over a lifetime can range from $5,000 to $10,000. Clearly, mouthguards are a cost-effective investment in tooth protection.

WHILLANS (Née Young), Agnes Winifred (Freddy) May 31, 1925 - March 17, 2016 Peacefully at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre. Born in Toronto, raised in Ottawa as the daughter of the late Archibald Young and Violet Lunan, living most of her life in Richmond Hill as loving wife of Howard, mother of Barbara (Craig), Karen (Mark) and Tom, grandmother of Lisa, Graeme and Evan Browning, Ry and Sam, predeceased by sister Isabel (Ross).

After graduating from Glebe Collegiate, Ottawa, during W.W. 2, she worked as a farmerette and as a secretary at the National Research Council and the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association before raising her family in Willowdale (1953-56) and then Richmond Hill (1956-2012).

Freddy loved nature, young children, reading, music and perennial gardening.

She was a long-time member and secretary of the Richmond Hill Naturalists, an active member of Richmond Hill United Church and a Brownie pack Brown Owl. Freddy and Howard enjoyed skiing, canoeing and camping. This was based at parks, a trailer in the Haliburton Forest and Wild Life Reserve and their cabin on a beaver pond near Burleigh Falls.

A quiet, gentle, thoughtful person, Freddy was happiest when she was with her many good friends, her family and her grandchildren. In her final years Freddy lived and was well-cared for at Jackson Creek Retirement Residence, Empress Gardens and St. Joseph’s at Fleming in Peterborough.

A celebration of Freddy’s life will be held at Richmond Hill United Church on April 26 at 11 am. Interment will be in Hillside Cemetery, Lakefield. Donations in memory of Freddy may be made to The Owl Foundation (Vineland Station) or the Richmond Hill Naturalists.

A. Margaret Kemp (nee Standing) Retired Nurse, York County Hospital, Newmarket Margaret passed away peacefully at Hill House Hospice in Richmond Hill on Sunday, April 17, 2016 at age 95. Beloved wife of Murray (predeceased in 1985).

Loving mother of Nancy (Brian) Stanger and John (Sandy) Kemp. Very special grandmother of Karen Stanger (Ariel Grostern), Keith (Cristina) Stanger and Scott Stanger (Katie Knowles). Great grandmother of Miko Isaac Kemp Grostern and Maren Alana Stanger. Survived by her sisters-in-law Norma, Vida and Jean.

Margaret will be fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews and cousins.

Margaret did not want a service, but would be pleased to know that members of her family will be walking in the Richview Manor’s Strides for Stroke 5K Run/Walk in support of Mackenzie Health Foundation on Saturday, May 7, 2016. We would like to invite her friends and relatives to join us in the Strides for Stroke Walk. We would also like to invite walkers and non-walkers to meet with us after for refreshments at Richview Manor from 10am - 11:30am on May 7th.

In Margaret’s memory please consider making donations to Hill House Hospice, or to Mackenzie Health Foundation through the Richview Manor’s Strides for Stroke 5K Run/Walk event participant, Aidan, from the team Richview Manor Movers and Shakers. Last year Margaret’s young friend, Aidan, walked with her, and this year he has pledged to walk for her.

Arrangements entrusted to Skwarchuk Funeral Home, Bradford (1-800-209-4803).

SPIRES, May (nee White) Peacefully at Mackenzie Health on Thursday, April 14, 2016 at the age of 86, after a lengthy battle.

The matriarch of the family, Marion was known for her tenacious spirit, stoic nature and fabulous dry humour; she had an amazing ability to always tell it like it is. Her green thumb hatched stunning gardens, and she honed a wonderful artistic skill in chalk, ink and acrylics. Everything about her will be missed, including her wonderful wit, and her ever-full candy dish - a signal you arrived at Gran’s home.

R

omolo (Romy Fontana threw his heart and soul into everything he did, whether it was his business, his volunteer work or his many hobbies.

“He loved life,” his widow, Rose Fontana, said. “There was no sitting on the couch, watching TV. That was not his thing.”

Fontana was born in Veroli, Italy on April 14, 1935.

He immigrated to Canada in 1954 to join his first wife who was pregnant with their daughter, Michelina.

Fontana worked in construction and juggled two other jobs to make ends meet.

By age 22, he’d scraped together enough money to buy his first house.

Trained as a welder in Italy, he eventually landed in the steel industry working on apartment buildings as well as large industrial and commercial projects.

Fontana rose through the ranks, eventually being promoted to supervisor then foreman.

In 1968, he founded his own company, Romy Ornamental Steel, and grew it into a highly successful business.

Wanting a less stressful occupation, Fontana sold the firm in the late 1970s and obtained his real estate licence.

Along the way, he and his first wife had two more children, Georgio and Romy Jr. But, by the mid1980s, they divorced.

Fontana continued to enjoy success working for a Toronto real estate firm where he garnered top honours five years straight.

It was there Fontana met Rose Abbatino, recently widowed, who would become his life partner for the next 30 years.

“I remember it clearly,” she said of their first encounter. “We were on the second floor and he came up dressed in this amazing suit and tie. … He was tall, dark — just perfect.”

In 1985, Fontana and two business partners established a real estate company, which they grew to house 30 sales representatives.

A couple of years later, he and Rose moved to Maple.
