Former councillor at centre of defamation showdown By Kim Zarzour

N I C K PAPA S E E KI N G $1 MILLION IN LAWSUIT

Just what is this all-white, furry backyard wanderer? PAGE 9

A Richmond Hill resident and his former ward councillor are set to face off in court in one of the first cases to test Ontario’s new antiSLAPP legislation. Nick Papa, who represented Ward 5 for 18 years before he was defeated by Karen Cilevitz in the 2014 municipal election, is suing Frank Zeppieri, claiming the resident and head of a local ratepayers group published or distributed defamatory words against him. He is seeking damages in the amount of $750,000 and punitive damages in the amount of $250,000.

Zeppieri is hoping the courts will toss out the lawsuit under Ontario’s new anti-SLAPP legislation. Known as the Protection of Public Participation Act, it is designed to discourage Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP) that are intended to censor, intimidate and silence critics. The case was to be heard in Newmarket courthouse Wednesday, but on Tuesday The Liberal learned it has been postponed. The issue stems back to 2011 when Intra-

corp Projects Acquisition submitted an application to the town to build five apartment buildings in a residential area in Papa’s ward. The application for three 15-storey and two nine-storey condominiums, totaling 720 units, which proposed amendments to the town’s official plan and zoning bylaws, was set to go before the OMB and generated a significant backlash among residents in the surrounding area. Zeppieri, head of the local ratepayers association, was one of the more vocal opponents, speaking at public meetings, council meetSee ‘MATTER’, page 10.

When the 2016 Summer Olympics underway in Rio, it marks the fifth consecutive Summer Games Dave Ross is attending. For the 66-year-old Richmond Hill resident, being at the Summer Games is a sporting competition he eagerly anticipates and not just because it is a high-profile event conducted once every four years that attracts the best competitors from around the world. His interest is more personal, with the role he serves with Canada’s Olympic team, coaching their trampoline competitors. Since coaching Canada’s trampoline performers at the Summer Olympics when the sport was introduced at the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, Ross has a pretty good track record, to say the least. At each Olympics, the proprietor and coach of the Richmond Hill-based Skyriders Trampoline Place has coached at least one member of Canada’s team to a medal. The latest and most monumental was at the 2012 Summer Games in London, when King City resident Rosie MacLennan became the first Canadian competitor to bounce her way to a coveted gold medal.

Richmond Hill coach has high hopes for Rio athletes

‘It’s always exciting, but each Olympics is different.’ FILE PHOTO/DAVID LI

King’s Rosie MacLennan (from left), Canadian Olympic trampoline coach Dave Ross of Richmond Hill and Stouffville’s Karen Cockburn just prior to the London Olympic Games. Ross has high hopes for his two York Region athletes competing at the Rio Olympics. the fifth-best in the latest world rankings. In addition to that, MacLennan has battled through some concussion issues incurred during training, but is now totally healthy. Despite those drawbacks and knowing MacLennan’s mental fortitude and work ethic, she will be in the hunt to reach the medal podium, predicts her coach. “Rosie is a tough competitor and she’s trained well,” Ross said. “I think she has as good a chance as anyone else. It will be interesting. We’ll see … it’s the Olympics.” With Burnett punching his ticket to the Olympics after procuring one of eight qualification spots that were up for grabs at the Aquece Test Event in Rio de Janeiro in April, Ross said he will be in a formidable field as the men’s competition has continued to evolve through the years.

‘We’re always hoping [our athletes] will do well.’ On top of that, Ross said Burnett will be the first trampolinist to compete without an ACL, after he tore it in 2014 and underwent an operation. What could work in Burnett’s favour, Ross said, is his ability to live on the edge. He’s executed routines with high degrees of difficulty and currently holds the world record of 18.8 for a routine performed in a competition. During a training session, he also completed a routine with a degree of difficulty of 20.6. “He’s had some bad luck in London (at

the 2012 Summer Games where he finished eighth) and should have come fourth or fifth in those Games,” Ross said. “But he’s been working hard. His strong point is the level of difficulty and I think he has a chance to make the finals this time.” While happy with how Canada’s trampolinists have fared in past Olympics, the one regret Ross has entering this year’s competition is not having Cockburn around as a

part of the team. “I’m disappointed Karen is not here. But she’s done her time,” he said in accentuating the positive. As for the pressure in trying to maintain a streak in seeing Canada return with a medal in trampoline, Ross said don’t discount our chances. “We’re always hoping they will do well. We’re still in the game.”

Beach volleyball duo down 2-0 By Mike Hayakawa

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

The Richmond Hill tandem of Josh Binstock and Sam Schachter lost their second pool match in the men’s beach volleyball competition at the 2016 Summer Olympics, after falling 2-1 to Adrian Ignacio Carambola Raurich and Alex Ranghieri of Italy Monday. After losing the first game, Binstock, 35, and Schacter, 26, battled back to win the second game 21-14 to force a deciding game. But in the final game, the Italian duo downed Binstock and Schachter, who were making their Olympic debut as a team, 15-11 to win the match. Schacter said he felt a big factor in their loss was in a lack of cohesion. “We didn’t find our rhythm as well as we normally do,” he said in a Canadian Olympic Committee news release. “Josh usually is a little sharper on the hideout and tested him a bit more. I don’t think he was himself at the end there, and we’re both a bit disappointed, but we’re sure that we can bounce back.”

Another key to the game, Schacter felt, was in their inability to handle sky ball serves made by Raurich. “It’s definitely a unique serve,” he cited. “He’s the only one who does it consistently and effectively on tour. It’s unique in the sense that nobody really sees it and it messes up the rhythm of your hideout, which is what we kind of struggled with today.” With the win Raurich and Ranghieri improved their pool record to 2-0. Binstock and Schachter fell to 0-2. The Canadians were scheduled to play Clemens Doppler and Alexander Horst from Austria yesterday (results not available at press time). Binstock feels the key to winning is to play with some form of consistency. “We know we can beat anybody in the world — we just have to play with consistency. We have spurts of greatness, but we need to find more rhythm and consistency near the end and make better adjustments.” See related letter to the editor on page 6.

Prior to that momentous occasion, Ross’ tutoring paved the way for Stouffville resident Karen Cockburn to earn a bronze in the first Olympic trampoline competition in 2000, along with silver in 2004 and 2008. On the men’s side of the sport, Ross coached Cockburn’s husband Mathieu Turgeon, who won bronze at the 2000 Summer Games. And at the 2008 Games, Nobleton resident Jason Burnett claimed silver. “It’s always exciting,” Ross said of attending the Olympics and being involved in helping to bring out the best in Canada’s trampoline performers at the Summer Games. “But each one (Olympics) is different.” With MacLennan and Burnett representing Canada’s hopes for a medal at the 2016 Summer Games, Ross is not about to go out on a limb to predict how each will fare when the competition commences Aug. 12. Ross was quick to point out that in a oneshot, winner-take-all format, anything can happen. To win the gold, he cited, it requires a competitor to put forth their best effort and at the same time, possess a little bit of Lady Luck on their side. It’s as if the stars have to be aligned properly, he said. As a case in point, he recalled that was how MacLennan came on to win the gold in 2012. “She hit the routine of her life and put pressure on the Chinese competitor (Huang Shanshan, silver medallist). That was when we came on,” he cited. Entering this year’s Games, Ross anticipated MacLennan will face an uphill battle if she hopes to retain her Olympic crown. Stating no competitor at the Olympics has successfully defended the title, Ross also noted MacLennan enters the competition as

Olympic dreams come true

Divided loyalty enjoying Games

he Olympics are a dangerous time for impressionable fellows such as myself. We watch a couple of events on the tube and pretty soon we’re driving to work thinking about being in some race or another (the sport doesn’t really matter) crossing the finish line to the roar of the crowd and we can barely remember how we drove to work or what route we took. Tears well up in our eyes as we finally get the recognition due to us for a lifetime of, well, hard work and training? Not really. Silly daydreaming? Exactly. By fellows like myself I mean fellows who don’t lift weights at the gym five times a week, have never raced yachts and aren’t sure if Hop, Skip and Jump is an Olympic event or the guys on the Rice Krispies box. But then the Olympics come on the TV, and all of that changes. We’re swept up in the drama of it all. We are experts in the sport that’s on that day. We’re thinking about how to improve our split times in the pool or if we should shave our legs to create less drag. We try not to let our families know this is how we view ourselves, because they’d spit their chewing tobacco all over the dinner table in laughter. But that’s how we’re feeling, as if only we had the talent, the physique, the drive, the skill, the strength, the natural athletic ability, or, more importantly, THE SUPPORT OF OTHERS!!, we could have been a contender in Rio. “Maybe there’s still hope to get to the Olympics after the next Olympics,” we think to ourselves. We start pondering which sport we could master to such a degree that, eight years from now, we could make the Canadian Olympic team and be there, blundering our way into to the Olympic stadium at the end of the marathon, the din of the crowd overwhelming as spectators turn to each other and ask, “Who the heck is the old guy? Must be a lost spectator.” Never mind running! Obscure sports come to mind, such as archery or water polo (always surprised the horses don’t drown), where you figure you can

Bernie O’Neill be among the best in the world because only a few thousand people on the planet take part in the sport anyway. Soon you are the fifth alternate on the men’s handball team that somehow makes it to the gold medal match after players from several teams take ill with food poisoning, your team included. Except for you, as you take a pass on the meal you have secretly tainted. You fire home the winning goal on a penalty kick in the 58th minute! Wait a minute, it’s handball! Anyway, you score the big goal. You’re a hero. Why do people dream this way? (Admit it, you do.) Sure, some of us are just dreamers. But maybe it’s also because, in real life, we really could do more to make people feel like winners. You do a good job at work and they don’t give you a medal and play the national anthem. Nobody interviews you on camera. Your folks aren’t there cheering, holding up a placard with your name on it. You simply get to keep your job. Should it be that way? Could it be different? Why not tell someone when they’ve done a good job? (Most business people only hear feedback from customers when there’s something wrong.) Compliment someone when you think they have a great store or service. Look people in the eye and smile and genuinely tell them you hope all goes well with the rest of their shift, their week, their life. Greet your loved one at the door and let them know how happy you are to see them cross the finish line at the end of their day. Cheer on people in your life who are giving 110 per cent, even if they aren’t Olympians. You might make them feel like one ... for a minute or two.

Like many other Canadians, I spent much of my free time last weekend escaping all the problems in the world around me and watching the Olympics, if for no other reason than to watch our athletes compete against the best in the world. Everything was going fine until I came across a beach volleyball match in which Canada was competing. I am — as are many other Canadians — an immigrant, and normally there’s no question for whom I would cheer, since I am a Canadian citizen by choice. In this case, however, because they were playing the motherland, I found myself bewildered, even if but for a split second. And then I thought of how lucky I am, either way one of my favourites is going to win the match. The fact they are homegrown (from Richmond

www.yorkregion.com

Hill) just makes it even more special. I watched the match and every once in a while cheered out loud: “Let’s go Canada,” knowing full well in different circumstances the cry would surely be “Forza Italia!”

Anthem changes waste Re: And what about ‘patriot’ love?, column by Bernie O’Neill, July 28. I agree with Bernie’s comment about the recent change to our national anthem. To me, this change resembles trying to pick a bone in an egg. It’s insignificant, while wasting taxpayers’ money. “O Canada” was proclaimed Canada’s national anthem in 1980 and it was first sung in 1880. So it is literally a piece of poetry passed along from our ancestors. We would not modify an aged poem to make it gen-

York police chopper catches driver playing Pokémon GO

York police identify man killed in Vaughan hit-and-run Monday BY TIM KELLY

A motorist, followed by the York police helicopter for what officers deemed “suspicious” driving, was let off with a warning after explaining he was trying to catch them all playing Pokémon GO. Air2 officers began following a Mercedes shortly before 3:30 a.m. in the Keele Street and Teston Road area in Vaughan on Monday. The driver stopped in a parking lot off of Keele Street then started driving again, entering a residential neighbourhood where it stopped in front of a park. The car then started driving again making turns in the middle of the roadway. The vehicle was eventually stopped by police in the Saint Joan of Arc Avenue and Drummond Drive area. The driver received a stern warning on the dangers of distracted driving. Since the launch of the Pokémon GO app, York Regional Police has received a number of calls from concerned citizens who have recently seen groups of people wandering and gathering in places across the region. York police remind the public and players that any distraction while driving or walking on or near roadwaycan

be hazardous. Citizens are urged to be aware of their surroundings and that large groups of people gathering in areas across our region could be Pokémon GO players. Police are also encouraging game users to be aware of traffic signals and vehicles on roadways. Players are

reminded they are not allowed to enter private property if No Trespassing signs are clearly posted. If on private property and asked to leave by the person responsible for that property, players must immediately leave. Failure to do so may be in violation of the Trespass to Property Act.

York Regional Police have identified the 35-year-old man killed in a hit-and-run collision in Vaughan late Monday. Adam Colucci, 35, of Woodbridge, was hit in front of the Pinecrest Motel on Hwy. 7, just east of Creditstone Road. His body was found by passing police officers at around 11:25 p.m. Const. Andy Pattenden appealed to the public for information in the case. “We’d like to speak with anybody that might have had any contact with Adam within the last three days, that can provide us with any information on why he might have been at this hotel, what his state of mind might have been, or anything leading up to this incident that took place,” Pattenden said Tuesday night during a late night media briefing. Investigators have yet to provide any information about a vehicle or suspect in the incident. There is video surveillance from nearby sources, but police say it hasn’t led them to any conclusions yet. “We do believe that there were people in this area that may have seen what happened,” Pattenden said. He urged the person responsible to step forward. “It’s time to get a lawyer and contact us right away,” he said.

This is the mysterious all-white visitor which appeared in Paula Gianasi’s backyard one evening. At first, she thought it might be an opposum, but she’s now learned it’s a very rare albino raccoon — blind and deaf and therefore not destined for a long life.

with neighbours, friends and family, but no one knew what it was. A check online showed her it was possibly a possum, sometimes known as an opposum, a marsupial which has recently been seen more frequently in southern Ontario. However, after her photo was posted online through yorkregion. com, she learned from York University Professor Suzanne McDonald that is was actually an albino raccoon. Gianasi was told it was reported to a wildlife refuge in Pefferlaw, and found in a litter of raccoons of normal colouring. “I was told by the professor that an albino raccoon is rare — one in 10 million — and they don’t survive for very long because they are blind and deaf. That explains why he did not react to my dog’s barking,” she noted. “I hope my visitor is still OK; it’s very sad.”

Paula Gianasi looked into the backyard of her Richmond Hill home one evening at the end of July, in the Yonge and Brookside area, to see an unusual white animal. “It was the size of a raccoon and totally white. He seemed rather docile. He was not scared off by my dog barking,” she reported, adding she’s lived in Richmond Hill for 36 years, and has never seen anything like it before.

‘Matter of public interest,’ says resident’s lawyer From page 1.

ings and in the press. He attempted to persuade Papa to act in the interest of residents who were opposed. According to Zeppieri’s motion before the Ontario Superior Court, Papa praised the high-density application at council meetings, stating that it had “some merits” and “many good things for the whole economy”, calling it a “beautiful application” that needed some “fine-tuning” and criticizing those opposed to it as “fear-mongering”. In the face of strong opposition from local residents and town council, the court statement says, the developer withdrew its high-density application before it was heard by the OMB.

RALLIED RE-ELECTION OPPOSITION Papa’s supportive comments about the proposed development, and his failure to support the ratepayers’ association from the beginning, prompted Zeppieri to rally opposition against the politician’s bid for re-election during the 2014 election, the statement says. Zeppieri created and paid for an advertisement published in the Richmond Hill Liberal Oct. 23, showing Papa’s face with the words “On Oct. 27th show him he is UNWANTED”. He also created a Facebook page titled “Unwanted: Nick Papa Ward 5 Councillor”.

“As part of the Facebook page, there was a random photograph of the rap artist known as Snoop Dogg … Zeppieri states that the sole purpose in including the photograph on the Facebook page was to draw more internet traffic,” the court statement states. The publication consists of “expression of opinion, they are fair comment made in good faith and without malice on a matter of significant public interest, namely the Richmond Hill municipal election and the high-density development application”, the statement says. The public interest in allowing Zeppieri to express himself outweighs any harm suffered by the politician, his motion states. The statement of claim issued by Papa says he never supported the Intracorp Development referred to in an article distributed by Zeppieri; it alleges the advertisement, and redistributed article, are untrue and defamatory. The Facebook page was also defamatory and intended to disparage Papa’s reputation, Papa’s statement says. “The Facebook page expressly or by implication suggests that Papa is “wanted” for criminal conduct and associates Papa with the rap singer “Snoop Dogg” who is known as a person who uses drugs and has been associated with criminal activity.” The Facebook page also asserted that Papa and former Ward 2 Councillor Carmine Perrelli were best buddies, which is

Part of the fight involved criticism of his local councillor, Nick Papa (at right), who is suing Zeppieri in court for defamation. false, Papa’s statement says. “Zeppieri’s attempt to associate Papa with Mr. Pirelli [sic] who was notoriously disliked as a Richmond Hill councillor and Snoop Dogg is intended to disparage Papa’s reputation.” Calls to Papa’s lawyer, Paul Starkman, were not returned at press time. None of the allegations made by either side have been proven in court. The case is now set to be heard Aug. 18,

Zeppieri’s lawyer, Iain MacKinnon, said the Richmond Hill resident’s legal battles are taking a big financial toll — costing Zeppieri “tens of thousands of dollars” for this anti-SLAPP case, with much more expensive fees ahead if the defamation suit goes forward. “One of the important purposes of the Act is to ensure people are not financially crippled because of comments on important matters that should be discussed,” said MacKinnon, a lawyer at Linden & Associates in Toronto. The case is expected to take up most of the day, he said, and a reserved judgment is expected.

“It’s a whole new area, a whole new Act,” he said. “There is not much precedent to go on here, or in other provinces, either.” The first such case was heard in London, Ontario, in April and a decision has yet to be released by the judge. “We think we’ve got reasonably good arguments that the action by Papa is a SLAPP lawsuit, because it has to do with comments he made on important matters of public interest … and he should be able to freely express those views.”

The Salvation Army Thrift Store in Richmond Hill is celebrating its official re-opening in a new location this Friday. Open for more than 10 years at Richmond Heights Plaza, the Salvation Army Thrift Store closed its doors for a year and a half, but has been open since July at a later location farther north at 11300 Yonge St. The official grand opening is set for Aug. 12, with a special gift for the first 50 shoppers to make a purchase when the doors open at 9 a.m. In addition, coupons for $10 will be handed to every person bringing in a donation. Ward 1 Councillor Greg Beros will join with representatives from The Salvation Army Thrift Store’s national leadership team and The Salvation Army Community Church to greet guests for the day, with a special performance planned by the church. “We are delighted to be reopened in Richmond Hill,” said Maria Guayacan, Salvation Army Thrift Store retail district manager for Toronto Centre. “The outpouring of love from this community has been overwhelming with well wishes and generous donations. We are excited to be back in a bigger location,

Since I have started my wills practice, I have done many wills for couples with young children. One couple, in particular, had such an impact on me that I decided to write an article about what parents with young children need to know about wills. While I was taking notes in our first meeting, the wife looked at me and said “we have been wanting to do this for so long, but we put it off, and now I can finally sleep at night.” The husband then said “since our first child was born, we’ve always been worried about what would happen to our children if we were in a catastrophic accident. We feel so much better that this is being done.”

The Richmond Hill Salvation Army store has been closed for more than a year, but has re-opened in a larger location at 11300 Yonge St. Its grand opening is set for Friday morning at 9 a.m. which will assist us in making a positive impact in this community. “By shopping and donating with us, you are giving back to the environment and to those in need at the local level,” added Guayacan. The store includes a dedicated Donor Welcome Centre, clothing for children and adults, antiques, furniture, collectables, books, electronics, small appliances, dinnerware and the newly launched Booth Sleep Line. Donations are accepted seven days a week. Store hours are Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The store is

closed on Sunday. The donation centre is open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sundays 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The Salvation Army Thrift Store (National Recycling Operations) supports the mission of The Salvation Army by generating funds and positively influencing the community. The Salvation Army Thrift Store is a national, charitable organization that operates 106 stores across Canada and relies upon donations to help support those in need.

The Wills Lawyer

Michelle Kotzer

What happens if you pass away without a will leaving young children? Firstly, there is no executor in place to look after your estate on your death. Secondly, there is no guardian named who can look after your children. In fact, there could be a custody battle between your family and your spouse’s family over who should raise the children. As far as inheritance, your children will inherit everything you own at the age of eighteen. Remember how you were at eighteen. Do you think you could have handled a large inheritance? By law, your children would automatically receive their inheritance at eighteen regardless of their level of maturity. These are only some of the issues that occur, if you pass away without a will. No parent wants to leave a mess for their family. When making a will what are some things you should consider? First, who should you appoint as your executor? You can appoint your spouse as your primary executor. In fact, this is what is usually done. What about the back up executor? Who will look after your estate in case your spouse is not alive when you die? You can appoint someone else you trust like your parents or siblings.

To learn more, visit www.thriftstore.ca.

You should also consider whether the person you are appointing as executor has the time to take on the task. An executor may be trustworthy, but he or she may be unwilling to accept the appointment. Executors have the right to decline the appointment at the outset when they ﬁnd out that they have been named. It is advisable to obtain your executor’s consent.

A few spaces still available for August Summer Camp

What about the guardian? If you have minor children your will should appoint a guardian to look after them in the event that you and your spouse both pass away before your children reach the age of majority. Be careful about appointing a married couple as guardians. You should feel very conﬁdent about their ability to get along together before concluding an appointment of this nature. If they get separated or divorced, who will have custody of your children? For example, if you appoint your brother and his wife as guardians, and after your death they separate, will there be a custody battle for your children? To solve this, it might be prudent to appoint your brother alone.

Larger Salvation Army Thrift Store re-opens Friday

Show offers good laughs

Education From A Deeper PerspectiveTM

Imagine when a child is inspired

Assisted Living is coming to Richmond Hill, but it isn’t a new retirement home or program for the elderly. Assisted Living: The Musical is a show coming to The Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts Aug. 18, and audiences across North America have been falling out of their seats laughing. The show, subtitled How The Older Half Lives, delivers laughs from the opening scene, romping through the “best years of their lives” at Pelican Roost, an active senior living community. The home oozes with characters, and “It’s like a cruise,” explains Pelican Roost resident Naomi Lipshitz-Yamamoto-Murphy, “except the final destination is not The Bahamas.” She is one of two actors playing the 18 characters depicted in the show, written by Rick Compton and Betsy Bennett. Music is key to the audience enjoyment, with songs such as “Help! I’ve Fallen (For You) and I Can’t Get Up”, “WalkerDude@Facebook.

Assisted Living: The Musical is a show coming to the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts on Aug. 18. Com” and “The Uplifting Viagra Medley.” Assisted Living: The Musical opened in Naples, Florida in 2010 and immediately drew the attention of national press as it toured many cities in the United States. The San Francisco Examiner called it “Wickedly funny” while the San Jose Mercury News warned, “You’ll die if you miss this one”. Audiences have expressed all manner of reactions to the vaudeville revue. One elderly lady literally laughed herself off her chair and had to be helped up by two strong staff

members. Another woman left the show at the halfway mark, to return with a spare oxygen tank for her husband who was “laughing too much”. “Imagine a world in which no one expects you to work, no one can get pregnant, and where you get a 20 per cent discount just for living this long,” Bennett said of the production. “That’s Assisted Living.” There is one performance only on Aug. 18 at 8 p.m. For tickets costing $39, call the Richmond Hill Centre box office at 905-787-8811.

Mackenzie Health big winner in provincial funding boost BY LISA QUEEN

lqueen@yrmg.com

York Region hospitals and children’s centres are getting a financial boost from Queen’s Park. The region’s three hospitals will receive more than $1 million as part of $175 million in provincial funding in 2016-2017 to make repairs and upgrades to 17 hospitals across the province. Mackenzie Health is getting the lion’s share, receiving $929,621. The $175 million funding is $50 million more than last year. Across Ontario, 135 hospital will eventually receive funding for infrastructure projects, such as repairing or upgrading roofs, win-

dows, HVAC systems, fire alarms and back-up generators. Ontario also plans to invest $12 billion over 10 years in capital grants to hospitals to build modern infrastructure. Meanwhile, the government is investing $16 million to repair and upgrade more than 140 community agencies across the province to help them better serve children, youth and families. Several York agencies are receiving funding, including $5,200 for Blue Hills Child and Family Centre, $27,500 for Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation, $27,000 for Kerry’s Place Autism Services and $80,000 in funding for Reena, based in Thornhill.

Back-to-school supplies needed

The Krasman Centre, based in Richmond Hill, depends on personal care donations throughout the year to make life for people in York Region dealing with mental health, addiction and homelessness more bearable. The centre staff and volunteers are grateful that they receive much support from the community during the holiday season. However, the need continues throughout the year. This summer, the Krasman Centre is in urgent need of personal hygiene items. In particular it requires: shampoo, razors, toothpaste, deodorant and baby powder. Donations can be dropped off at the Krasman Centre, 10121 Yonge St., Richmond Hill. For details, call 905-780-0491.

Again this year, the Salvation Army is hoping generous residents of southern York Region will help make the return to school a little happier for needy families. Donations of new back-to-school items are needed by more than 100 young students in Richmond Hill, Maple and Thornhill, according to the Richmond Hill-based Salvation Army. Items needed include backpacks, binders, pens and pencils, colouring pencils, markers, paper, calculators, lunch bags, pencil cases etc. You can drop off back-to-school items at 55 Newkirk Rd., just north of the GO train station in Richmond Hill, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Mosquitoes in Markham test positive for West Nile Virus Two mosquito traps in Markham have tested positive for West Nile virus. The traps are located in the Hwy. 7 and Warden Avenue area and the 14th Avenue and Kennedy Road area. “Residents can take simple steps to reduce the risk of West Nile virus and exposure to mosquitoes,” said the region’s medical officer Dr. Karim Kurji, in a press release last week. “Cover up when heading out-

side, especially during dusk and dawn and eliminate standing water around your property to reduce mosquito breeding.” Traps in similar areas also tested positive for the West Nile Virus last summer and in the summer of 2014. Earlier this year, the region launched its vector-born disease program to help limit the impact of West Nile Virus and Lyme disease. During mosquito season – at its peak during the hot summer

months – York Region public health larvicides catch basins to control the mosquito population and eliminate breeding sites with the help of standing water complaints.

TIPS TO PROTECT YOURSELF Protect yourself from West Nile Virus with these simple steps:

AROUND THE HOME: • Get rid of stagnant water found in bird baths, flower post, swimming pool covers and clogged gutters; • Ensure window screens are tight-fitting and in good repair.

• Wear lighter colours, as mosquitoes are attracted to darker colours; • Use insect repellent, always follow directions on the label; • Minimize outdoor activities at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.

WHAT TO WEAR: • Wear protective clothing, including socks, long-sleeved shirts and jacket;

Thousands of Syrian refugees are starting life in a new country with a new language here in Canada, but they’re not alone. Canadian organizations, families and individuals have given their time and effort to help people adjust from a life of war to a life of peace. The North American Shia Ithna Asheri Muslim Community Organization and the Jaffari Community Centre in Vaughan are actively helping new government-sponsored Syrian families adjust to the massive change. In a third collaborative effort to help Syrian refugees, NASIMCO and JCC hosted free dental screening for hundreds of Syrian refugees in York Region and Toronto. “We have over 200 new Syrian-Canadians here today,” said JCC assistant treasurer Azim Panju. “We’ve got just under 100 volunteers including 15 dentists, dental hygienists and community members, English-speakers and Arabic translators as well.” Previous efforts from NASIMCO and JCC included organizing and delivering hygiene kits to families awaiting permanent housing, preparing backpacks for 300 children going to school and delivering donated household items to families upon settlement. Sunday’s screenings continued the momentum in which the whole community is involved. New residents expressed their grati-

tude with English they’ve quickly learned. “I feel comfortable; it’s good,” said Salaheddin Bawadjki. “I’m happy to be here.” “The people in Canada are very nice,” said Majda Boushi. “People helped so much; the volunteers are very good to help us. I like it.” Working with local agencies, including COSTI Immigrant Services, NASIMCO contacted various families for the screening. “They were overwhelmed with the numbers and were very happy to receive support from organizations like ours,” said NASIMCO vice-president Sukaina Sumar-Ebrahim. “We took the lead from them and said we’re here to help in whatever capacity we can.” Screenings ranged from teaching better brushing and flossing to helping identify signs of oral health problems. Additional help was given to families to find a nearby dentist and create a health record. Oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Zain Manji was on site with a team of volunteers. “Everybody was really on board, glad to help and do more than I asked them to do,” Manji said. “All the volunteers have been really happy and excited to be part of this event today.” Willowdale MP Ali Ehsassi and KingVaughan MP Deb Schulte visited to give thanks to the organizations. “This tells me exactly what Canada is all about,” Schulte said. “Bringing the resources we have to help everybody feel part of our

JCC has participated in other projects, including Out of the Cold, in collaboration with 12 inter-faith communities to offer safe refuge, hospitality and emergency shelter to homeless people or others in need of food and clothing.

Conditional approval granted for gas pipeline By TIM KELLY

tkelly@yrmg.com

The National Energy Board announced last Thursday that it has granted conditional approval for an 11.7-kilometre natural gas pipeline to be built and operated through Vaughan. The NEB, based in Calgary, said TransCanada Corporation, which will build the structure, must meet 19 conditions to complete the pipeline. These include native monitoring for any archeological finds, as well as habitat protection of various wild species. TransCanada, according to the NEB, also accommodated route change requests private landowners made. The Vaughan pipeline section will connect to the 11-kilometre King North Connection pipeline Trans– Canada is completing.

“I basically lost everything in one night,” she said. “So for two years, I was extremely angry. I couldn’t think about anything, my career, or what I was going to do. Now I’m very limited to what I can do, which is very frustrating, because I’m only 35 years old.” The situation has affected everyone in her family, and has put a strain on her marriage. “My husband had to take last year off because of stress, because we need two incomes to survive,” she said. The driver who injured Daniels also survived the crash. In addition to serving six months in jail, he was issued a five-year driving probation and a fine. When the matter went before the courts, she found the driver had received an impaired driving charge two weeks before her crash. Daniels was “outraged”. “I think we need stricter laws, because people take the laws as a joke, and I think the

Barrie resident Cherie Daniels was seriously injured after she was hit by a drunk driver in December 2011.

Per Month!*

In a matter of seconds, an impaired driver changed Cherie Daniels’ life forever. Daniels, a 35-year-old mom of two children, was struck head-on on by a drunk driver around 7 p.m. Dec. 18, 2011, while driving along Huronia Road in Barrie. “We were approaching the train tracks and to me it looked like he was going to put his car in the ditch, but then he over-corrected, and he came straight into my lane, he hit me head-on,” she recalled. The first thing she remembers after the crash is being overcome with pain. “It felt like I woke up and I was in a lot of pain, I couldn’t breathe,” she said. As she came to she found her vehicle had been torn apart. “The dashboard and everything else was in my lap,” she said. “The windshield was smashed and all the airbags had gone off, too.” At the emergency room, doctors determined she had a broken sternum. A few days later, after she started experiencing headaches and nausea, tests revealed she had also suffered a mild brain injury. While she has done a lot of healing over the past four years, her life will never be the same. Daniels still requires regular physiotherapy and psychological treatment, and will continue to need help for the foreseeable future. “The joints in my neck, they still lock up when I rotate them, and my left shoulder has issues too because it was damaged by the seatbelt,” she said. She also has a severe phobia of driving and only drives when it’s not busy or when she absolutely has to. A few months before the crash, Daniels had started her own cleaning business, but her injuries have prevented her from returning to work.

laws would have more impact if they were tougher,” she said. With impaired driving continuing to be a significant issue, she questions why the federal government wants to potentially complicate the problem by legalizing marijuana. “I think any impaired driving is bad and the government needs to do more research before they start selling it to people,” she said, adding the government needs to determine how it will deal with impaired driving due to marijuana use, “because if they don’t, there are just going to be more and more crashes. People will abuse it because it’s legal.” In addition to lobbying for tougher laws, Daniels uses her experience to help others. She is a member of the board of directors with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) chapter for Barrie/Simcoe and manages the group’s website and social media activities. Her role with the organization has helped her transition from a victim to a survivor. “I’ve found it to be very beneficial,” she said. “You get to go to conferences and meet people who are in similar circumstances, and you get to talk to them and know you’re not alone.” She is also committed to supporting her family again and is optimistic she will be able to return to the workforce soon. “I try to remain positive,” she said. “There are some days where I get discouraged and depressed, but I don’t let myself get too caught up.”

KING CITY, ON, August, 2016 – Coppa’s Fresh Market is pleased to announce the opening of Nonna Francesca’s Ristorante, the company’s first restaurant, in addition to a full complement of freshly prepared foods at its new King City location, opening soon. Designed to enhance the entire shopping experience, this latest addition to the grocer’s products and services will enable shoppers to enjoy a fresh, home-cooked meal without having to prepare it themselves. Whether customers only have a short amount of time to enjoy a hot lunch or simply don’t have the energy to cook dinner after a long day, Nonna Francesca’s Ristorante and the fresh selection of ready-made foods will ensure customers still have easy access to the authentic foods they love. Nonna Francesca, the matriarch of the Coppa family, was the original inspiration behind the company’s line of Italian comfort foods. Using traditional ingredients to make classic Italian meals, she brought her entire family together over dinner. These ready-made and freshly prepared meals are the next logical step in bringing the world’s freshest foods to consumers, while keeping Nonna Francesca’s tradition alive. The restaurant will have a Pasta Station where pastas and flavours are harmoniously combined, a Grill Time Station where patrons can have meat, fish or vegetables prepared exactly the way they like it, and a bar with a wide variety of local and international beers and wines. Hand-made pizzas and smaller plates will also be available. Nonna Francesca’s Ristorante is designed to replicate the experience of dining together at a family home. The restaurant will serve food throughout regular store hours (listed below) for the best possible customer convenience. Prepared foods currently available at other Coppa’s locations will have their own dedicated department at the new King City store. This will be a big time-saver for busy shoppers as they can visit the store, purchase a hearty meal for the entire family, and get home quickly. Foods are prepared daily, and only the best ingredients are used in Nonna Francesca’s ready-to-eat pizzas, pastas, poultry items and other traditional favourites. Bring a little Italian flair to your family’s dinner table, next office function or barbeque event. Store hours at the new Coppa’s King City located at King’s Ridge Marketplace, 1700 King Rd, (at Dufferin St.) are Monday to Saturday, 7 am to 9 pm and Sunday, 8 am to 8 pm.

About Coppa’s Fresh Market

Coppa’s Fresh Market is a family owned and operated grocery store chain. The company currently has three locations in the Greater Toronto Area, with a fourth slated to open in August. Coppa’s is committed to providing an authentic grocery experience, offering a combination of exceptional value, superior service and a selection of the finest quality food from around the world. The ownership group’s family roots run over 50 years deep in the grocery business; the Coppa family opened their first grocery store at 1558 Queen Street West in Toronto. The company takes great pride, passion and care in bringing their customers a comprehensive global shopping experience; one that offers the freshest and widest variety of foods from top local suppliers and authentic international brands.

Quick and easy tips for painting a room Looking to improve the appearance of your home without spending an arm and a leg? If so, a fresh coat of paint is a wallet-friendly way to rejuvenate your living quarters. Learn how to make your painting dreams come true with these quick and simple tips. Prep. Of course you want to see a new, beautiful colour on your wall right away; however, spending some time on prep work will provide better results and help you achieve a lasting finish. Start by covering or removing furniture, dust and wipe down walls thoroughly, and remove light switch and outlet covers. When painting a bathroom or kitchen, HGTV recommends washing the walls with a solution of laundry detergent (approximately three teaspoons to four litres of water) to remove any grease or residue. Tape. Painter’s tape is a great tool to protect the

surface, prevent paint bleed and provide professional-looking results. Tape all borders of the room – molding, ceilings and floors – before you start painting. Whether you’re a novice or a pro, mistakes can happen, so use a trusted painter’s tape like Painter’s Mate Green. When tape is applied in a long strip, it can stretch and won’t lay flat or stick properly, resulting in paint bleed. Instead, tape off walls and trim in one-foot sections for best results. When applying, press down on the tape firmly and smooth it out against the border. Tape removal is also a crucial step. Rather than waiting for paint to dry, carefully remove tape at an angle while the paint is still wet. This will keep the paint from bonding to the tape, making it easier to remove and therefore providing cleaner lines. Paint. If painting over a previously painted surface, consider an all-in-one paint and primer. This

paint allows you to skip a step in the process, while delivering added adhesion and smoothing out rough surfaces. Next, choose your sheen. This should be done based on how much traffic the area receives. Flat is most commonly used on living room and bedroom walls; however, some people prefer satin or eggshell enamel as they offer a soft, velvety appearance. Semi-gloss is primarily used for cabinets and trim; and high-gloss paints are ideal for the highest-traffic areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms, because they clean easily. If you’re looking for inspiration, Pantone announced two colours for 2016 – Rose Quartz and Serenity – a blending balance between a warm, embracing rose tone and a cool tranquil blue. Both colours are perfect for giving any room a relaxing vibe. If you’re still unsure which colour to choose, many paint manufacturers now offer testers to take home a few favourite shades to try before buying several litres. Tools. To ensure the final results are just as attractive as the new paint colour itself, it’s essential to use the correct tools for the job. First, utilize brushes for trimming and painting around the edges of the room. Be sure to choose the correct type of brush depending on the kind of paint you’re using; natural brushes are typically used for oil-based paints, while synthetic brushes are ideal for latex or

water-based paints. Also, consider using an angled brush to get into tight spaces such as corners, windows and trim. Next, you’ll need a roller to fill in large wall areas. When choosing a roller, pay attention to which surface the product is designed for (drywall, stucco, etc.), and the job. Rollers come with naps of one eighth to two inches or more. Generally, you should paint smooth surfaces with a short nap, and rougher surfaces – like stucco, brick and masonry – with longer nap so those fibres can get the paint into every nook and cranny. Investing in quality painting tools can help you achieve the professional-looking finish you desire in your home. Don’t let the idea of updating a room intimidate you. With the right tools and technique, the job can be done in a flash and your home will look renewed in no time.

Student immunization rate jumped from 34 to 99 % BY LISA QUEEN

lqueen@yrmg.com

Two thirds of 17-year-old York Region students were at risk of being suspended for failing to be properly immunized, but finished off theis past school year with the proper shots, medical officer of health Dr. Karim Kurji says. Watch out, seven-year-olds, you’re next. When the region checked in January, 8,900 of more than 13,000 17-year-old students in the region were either missing immunizations or had out-of-date records, putting them at risk of being suspended from school. That works out to a 34 per cent compliance rate.

Worried the students would head off to post-secondary school and the workforce without the proper immunizations, the region sent out reminder letters and held 54 extra immunization clinics on evenings and weekends. By the end of the school year, more than 99 per cent of the students had complied with Ontario legislation requiring parents to provide proof of their children’s immunization status against nine vaccine-preventable diseases unless they are exempted for medical, religious or conscience reasons. The province requires school-aged children to be vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), varicella (chickenpox), polio, measles, mumps,

rubella and meningococcal meningitis. “We need to think about vaccinations as a health investment for the present and the future,” Kurji said in a statement. “Immunization is the most effective way to protect individuals and the community from vaccine-preventable diseases like measles, mumps and meningococcal meningitis — now and for years to come.”

take a lesson on the benefits of vaccinations through public health. The new law would also require healthcare providers to tell public health units which shots have been given to children, which would help reduce the number of students being suspended from school for out-of-date immunization records. York Region parents can report immunization information online at eimmunization.york.ca, by faxing documents to 1-866258-2026 or by calling York Region public health at 1-877-464-9675 ext. 73456. Appointments for community immunization clinics can be made at york.ca/ immunizations.

SHIFT THIS FALL This fall, public health’s focus will shift to seven-year-old students to ensure they have the proper shots. In May, the province introduced legislation that would require parents seeking non-medical immunization exemptions to

Clayton Daxon was ‘gift’ to everyone who met him BY LISA QUEEN

lice Daxon was a teaching assistant working with children with disabilities in a Newmarket school when she met nine-year-old Clayton in the early

He had been raised in an institution, but in 1980, the province passed legislation governing special education, including requiring school boards to provide programs for children with exceptional needs. Bused in from the institution, Clayton was placed in Daxon’s classroom. “We took one look at each other and it was love at first sight,” she said. Clayton couldn’t walk or talk, but he crawled along the floor, sat on Daxon’s foot and wrapped his arms around her leg. Daxon began bringing him home for weekends under a community living program. Her family, including husband Ken and their children, Tracey, Krista and Corey, embraced Clayton into their lives. But on Sunday nights, Clayton would sob and clasp Alice’s hand when she and Ken drove him back to the institution. “It broke our hearts to take him back in after having

such a full weekend. And we had to put him right into his crib again. That’s where he was for nine years, in a crib,” she said. “My husband said, ‘We’ve got to bring him home. We can’t leave him in there. What do we have to do?’” The Daxons committed to having Clayton live with them for two years in their Newmarket home. He was still living with Daxon family when he died Jan. 29 at the age of 42 in Sharon, where Alice had moved after Ken died in 1999. About three days after Clayton came to live with the family, Alice feared the arrangement wouldn’t last. Corey and a friend, who were about 12, took Clayton for a ride in a wagon, but they flipped it over on a curve and sent Clayton flying. Their case worker arrived a few days later to make sure Clayton was settling in, leaving a mortified Alice had to explain his injuries. Fortunately, the case worker took it all in stride, saying if not for the Daxon family, Clayton would never have had the chance to play and get hurt like any other child. The years ahead would be filled with struggles as Clayton dealt with his illness, but also love and adventures, including family vacations and a trip to Disney World. Clayton wasn’t formally diagnosed with Costello syndrome until his 20s, and was one of only four people in the world known at that time to have the disorder. Clayton, who could only speak about a dozen words, used an assisted device computer to communicate. Living with the Daxons, he learned to eat solid food and

walk, although that would only last about a year before his hips gave out. He then used a walker in the house and a wheelchair when he was outside. He had surgeries on his hips, heel cords and hamstrings and suffered from severe scoliosis of the spine. “He tried so desperately. He fought his whole life to try to do everything that he couldn’t do,” Alice said. As a teenager. Clayton threw himself into activities at Sacred Heart Catholic School, joining the school band and playing the bongo drums and xylophone in school concerts. He loved cooking and baking in home economic class. In his family, Clayton became known as the cupcake maker because he loved to help bake the treats for birthday parties he helped organize. A fan of slapstick comedy, he was known for his infectious laugh, his love of WWE wrestling and his woodworking skills. With assistance, he made gifts such as birdhouses and crafts. “I always used to say about him, he was an ambassador for the disabled. If he had any one job in life, that was it and he did it so well,” Alice said. In Grade 9, Clayton met his best friend, Marty Nichol, who was by Clayton’s side all through high school. “He was like Clay’s brother and he became like my son,” she said. Even when Nichol moved away, he sent homemade videos pretending he was taking Clayton on adventures. Clayton was a gift, someone who made everybody happy despite his struggles, Alice said, adding more than

150 people came to his memorial service. “Everyone said how lucky he was, what a beautiful life he had,” Alice said. “We all got so much back from Clayton. He taught more than he was ever taught. I think he was a gift. He had a purpose and he served his purpose well on Earth.”
