He was just out for a quiet morning coffee in his Richmond Hill backyard when Dan Kelly suddenly found himself in the midst of life-and-death drama. As the retiree meandered around his pool at 6 a.m. Friday, he noticed blood on his freshly washed deck. Suddenly the nearby flowering shrub began to rustle and out stumbled an injured deer, his intestines hanging from a gash in his belly. The creature cowered near the back fence as Kelly quickly sprung into action — and quickly discovered there is no easy answer for large animals in distress. Sensing the deer’s life was in danger, he picked up the phone. First, he tried calling a rehab centre in Beeton, then the Ministry of Natural Resources and finally, with no answers at the first two numbers, York Regional Police. Police suggested he call the local SPCA, but the agency admitted that they weren’t equipped for an animal of that size. “It felt like I’d entered the twilight zone; what do you do with a large injured animal?” Eventually, Kelly connected with veterinarian Dr. Sherri Cox of the National Wildlife Centre in Caledon and Cathy Stockman, manager with Shades of Hope Wildlife Refuge in Georgina, and they came up with a game plan. By noon, they were all in his backyard, along with two

employees from the Newmarket-based SPCA with a deer cage borrowed from Procyon Wildlife Rescue Service in Beeton, an outof-region representative from the Natural Resources Ministry and two neighbours, Bobby and Dana Revai. “We have very limited options,” Stockman explained. Shooting the animal with a tranquilizer was out of the question. “You can’t discharge a firearm in a built-up area. It needs to be in a safe place if the animal starts running. You don’t want him to go into traffic.” The deer, meanwhile, had curled

up against the back fence. This was their chance. The wildlife experts snuck up behind him from the neighbours’ side and with a “jab pole”, injected him with an anesthetic. They carefully moved him to a safe spot in the yard and began surgery. For the next three hours, in intermittent rain, Dr. Cox and the ad hoc surgical team reinserted the animals intestines and sewed him back up again with three layers of stitches — Kelly and others holding umbrellas aloft to keep everyone dry — and nearly eight hours after the drama first began, the deer was

ready for his trip up to the Shades of Hope refuge in Pefferlaw. It would be days before Kelly learned the animal’s fate, days of wondering how the injury could have happened. His best guess is the deer sliced himself open as he leaped a neighbour’s fence, one with sharp spikes. The neighbourhood is close to the Mill Pond and there have been other signs of wildlife — coyotes, foxes and rabbits. Another resident in the heavily treed community had also noticed a deer in recent days. But this expeSee EYE OPENER, page 10.

THE WILLS LAWYERS Their Stories of Money, Inheritance, Greed, Family and Betrayal The latest book by Thornhill wills lawyers Barry Fish and Les Kotzer co-authors of THE FAMILY FIGHT, THE FAMILY WAR and WHERE THERE’S AN INHERITANCE featured across North America on TV (including CNN) radio, and in newspapers and magazines (Time, Goodhousekeeping and Fortune to name a few). DO YOU THINK YOU’VE HEARD AND SEEN IT ALL? Before you answer” yes”, we invite you to journey into the world of wills and estates, a world in which we have lived and worked, as wills and estates lawyers, for over a quarter of a century. This book is a compilation of stories from our experiences in this ﬁeld. You will read:

13 drivers charged with impaired York Regional Police says it’s once again disappointed by the results of a weekend RIDE campaign. Last weekend, 13 drivers were arrested from Friday through to Sunday and charged with alcohol and drug-related driving offences. Of the 13 arrests, four were a result of collisions. Officers conducting RIDE spot checks and general patrol resulted in another five impaired drivers and four of the arrests were as a result of concerned citizens calling 911 to report possible impaired drivers. On Saturday, shortly before 7:30 p.m., York police responded to a collision between a motorcycle and a car on Metro Road and Spring Road in Georgina. The rider of the motorcycle, a 47-year-old Georgina man, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. The driver of the car, 20-year-old Justin Clodd, from the Township of Perry, was arrested at the scene and has since been charged with impaired driving cause bodily harm, over 80, dangerous operation of

a motor vehicle and possession of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking. On Sunday at 1 a.m., officers responded to a possible impaired driver, called in by a citizen in the area of Hwy. 7 and Hwy. 427 in Vaughan. When officers arrived, they located three vehicles, including the suspect vehicle that had been involved in a serious collision. As a result, two people were taken to hospital to be treated for their injuries. Brampton resident, 56-year-old Harjit Singh Gill, has been charged with impaired driving cause bodily harm and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle cause bodily harm. Also on Sunday, shortly before 6 a.m., police responded to a single-vehicle collision in the Major Mackenzie Drive West and Timber Creek Boulevard area in Vaughan. A red Jeep Wrangler was in the middle of the roadway after striking a hydro pole. The driver of the vehicle, 23-year-old John-Michael Cimicata, was charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle and over 80.

Bidding adieu to home of your dreams? By Chris Simon

foreigners.” Immigration does play a role in the market. The Ontario government estimates about 100,000 immigrants move into the province each year. Many of those people settle in the GTA. Between Aurora in York Region and Innisfil in Simcoe County, there appears to be an influx of Chinese buyers. “They can move their family here while still finding affordable housing,” said Royal LePage sales representative Wasim Jarrah, working out of an Aurora office. “Chinese buyers are savvy. They like to negotiate and feel like they’ve got a good deal. It’s the same thing that happened to Markham, and for the Italians in Vaughan. It’s a very healthy real estate market. Even when people are purchasing in multiple offers, they’ll realize a profit if they stay in their properties for up to three years. The (current) sellers are making a sizable profit as well.” There’s also a significant lack of inventory — a combination of slowly progressing new construction sites and an apparent unwillingness by aging Baby Boomers to sell their homes and downsize. “If you look at the number of housing starts compared to population growth, we’re just not building homes fast enough,” Joe Asensio, of the Brampton-based JN Asensio Realty, said. “You see homes going up

everywhere, but they’re all sold before they even build them. I’m on the tail end of the Baby Boomers; this will sound terrible, but we’re just not dying fast enough. People need somewhere to live; there just isn’t enough affordable housing available. This trend will continue for a long while. The real estate market is going to stay nuts for a long time yet. I don’t know whether there’s a need to slow it down.” Asensio is involved in multiple-offer scenarios daily. He watched 51 offers roll in for a property in Brampton recently and admits the number of bids on homes in the area will often enter double digits. Jones agrees that Asian buyers, low interest rates and short supply have driven the housing market. However, some sectors are in higher demand than others. For example, townhouses and condominiums are not generally seeing the same percentage increases in value as freehold homes. “People don’t have a lot of options,” Jones said. “It’s impossible to tell whether it’s foreign or domestic money, but there’s certainly a lot of Asian buyers who are desperately trying to get freehold properties in the GTA. Condos and townhouses still sell, and you might even get the occasional bidding war ... but it’s not what’s driving the market.” for full story, go to yorkregion.com

Work has begun to restore the cenotaph and correct a soldier’s name (visible, top left) from Earle Huges, to Hughes. He is seen in uniform at far right.

Cenotaph restoration will correct name BY KIM ZARZOUR

kzarzour@yrmg.com

When Ross Toms discovered a fallen soldier’s name had been misspelled on the Richmond Hill cenotaph, he “self-destructed”. Well okay, not quite. But that’s how it felt to the executive member of the Richmond Hill Legion — an avid military history buff. “I called the mayor right away,” he said. “It beats the heck out of me how that could have happened.” That was more than a year ago, when the amateur photographer peered closely at a picture he had taken during the merchant seaman wreath ceremony at the war memorial on Yonge Street and discovered someone had dropped the second “h” from Earl Hughes name — a soldier who had lost his life in the First World War. This week Toms is breathing a sigh of relief, knowing that restoration work on the town’s cenotaph has begun and the error will soon be corrected so the fallen soldier can properly rest in peace.

AMONG OLDEST IN GTA The cenotaph, erected in 1923, is one of the oldest war memorials in the GTA. Located at 10100 Yonge St. in front of the former Richmond Hill Public School, now McConaghy Seniors Centre, the monument was built to honour those who died and served in “the Great War,” then expanded to include those lost in later wars. The town approved has $150,000 in capital funding to repair the aging cenotaph, including cleaning, repointing the stonework and foundation work on the front steps leading up to the colonnade. Metal stands will be added for better placement of wreaths that have in the past tended to pile up front of the impressive structure, or blow over in winds, he said. Toms said the cenotaph will be restored to more closely resemble its original façade and in the process, more space will be exposed to add additional names, such as that of Corporal Matthew Dinning. Dinning, 23, was born in Richmond Hill. A member of the Canadian Armed Forces, he

was one of four Canadian soldiers killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan in 2006. In researching Richmond Hill’s military history, Toms discovered other names that he hopes will be added to the monument, along with a plaque honouring Hong Kong veterans and, of course, correcting the name of Earl Hughes — and, possibly, adding Hughes’ brother’s name, Stanley Ross Hughes. The history of Hughes’ family has been lost over the years, he said. “No one really knows where he came from,” he said. “I’ve checked with the historical society and legion and in all my research, we can’t figure that out.” His mother appears to have died after his brother, Stanley Ross, was born. His father was living in Richmond Hill when Earl Hughes was killed in battle in 1915, Toms said, and his brother also perished in the war two years later, but the father likely had moved away from Richmond Hill at that time. In previous decades, local community volunteer groups collected names and the rules were not as rigid as they are today, he said. “Hence people got missed. I am a member of a couple of groups whose sole purpose in life is to commemorate and commemorate correctly and I will continue to research this.” It takes copious research, he said, but it’s worth it —“They did their bit ... they should be recognized somewhere”.

MYSTERY OF CANNON There is one cenotaph mystery, however, that may remain unsolved. At one point, a cannon stood guard over the memorial site, pointing out over Yonge Street. Sometime over the years, it disappeared. There were rumours it had been stolen, but Toms believes he knows the answer. During the Second World War, many cannons and machine guns that were brought back to Canada were torn up for scrap metal, Toms said, and many local vets voiced support for donating the cannon to the cause. Meantime, the cenotaph is hidden behind construction barricades for the summer. Work should be completed in time for Remembrance Day in November.

If you’re planning to buy a house in the Greater Toronto Area, be prepared to go to war. As demand in the local housing market increases substantially on an almost monthly basis, so, too, does the number of bidding wars. Graham Jones, a Re/Max Hallmark agent who has worked in the industry for 25 years, just sold a house in a bidding war that netted his clients a substantial profit. Their Richmond Hill bungalow was listed for $899,000. There were nine bidders and the property sold for $1.43 million. He compares the sale to “winning the lottery” for his clients. “It was underpriced a little bit to set up the bidding war, but still, it set records all over the place,” Jones said. “We had three bidders that were just beating the living daylights out of each other. We didn’t know where they were going to stop. It’s a nice home, but it’s a 65-year-old, 900-square-foot bungalow on a 50-foot lot. They (sellers) are so happy. They’re retiring and going to buy a piece of property up north and build a house. They got way more money in their pocket than they expected. They’re absolutely thrilled. Every deal I’ve done in the past two years has been multiple offers.” It seems this story is becoming commonplace. The Toronto Real Estate Board reported a 12.6-percent increase in home selling prices in April, when compared to the same period last year. The average home sold for $766,472 in Toronto in April, compared to $690,658 in April 2015. Across the GTA, average prices also increased from $605,336 in April 2015 to $724,235 this year. The increase is blamed on several factors. Interests rates are at or near record lows, the Canadian dollar lags behind other world currencies and, historically, GTA real estate is a relatively safe investment gamble. “Our real estate, in world dollars, is still much cheaper than in Washington or London,” Mark Weisleder, a partner in Vaughan’s RealEstateLawyers.ca LLP firm, said. “Even if it’s increased, it’s a good investment for

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

New pot laws need expediting

OMB reform like Game of Thrones

hen I was growing up, my parents would employ some crazy young family management practices, like put it out to the whole clan, “We’re having takeout, what would you like to have for dinner?” This was the type of thing you did when you didn’t have the internet or 500 TV channels. You let your kids entertain you. In the case of impromptu takeout nights, there was a catch. We were buying the dinner from one place. We just needed a consensus on what that place would be. The O.J. Simpson jury probably did less wrangling. Eventually, through some debaters making a strong case (“We had burgers last time!” “You always want subs!”) we’d end up with an X-large pizza or bucket of chicken and of the five kids in the family (yes, five kids.... those were the days) two were happy, one was indifferent, one sulked as he chewed on a crust (or chicken bone) and one went up to her room and did not eat. She’d slam her bedroom door to make her point. Meanwhile my dad refried some potatoes that were in the fridge, and smiled, as if he enjoyed nothing more than his evening of UN-style family government. What all this accomplished I was never sure. Pure, live entertainment, yes. Or it preserved the illusion a family is a democracy, when, in fact, parents have a majority vote. I wondered why one of them didn’t just come walking through the door with a couple of big pizzas. “If you don’t like it, have a bowl of cereal.” I think of these times in the wake of the fiasco related to the pot dispensaries in Toronto that were busted this past week, the same way a couple of identical pot dispensaries in York Region were busted months ago. Police, at the apparent urging of the city’s mayor, endeavoured to enforce the laws as they apparently exist (you need to use a lot of apparentlys here, because

Bernie O’Neill apparently a lot of people are very confused about what the rules are — even those intimately involved). Why are they confused (or leaping to fill a vaccuum amid the apparent confusion)? A government with a young leader who admits to having smoked marijuana as an MP, runs on the promise to legalize marijuana. That government is elected to a majority. Months and months pass. Finally an announcement is made that they hope to have the legislation passed, at some point (hopefully) next year — a year and a half after being elected. A long time, considering how prevalent the use of pot already is, whether we like it or not. York police use something called a “crime map” on their website. If you set it to show you all the drug-related crimes (90 per cent of which appear to be possession of marijuana) between when the Liberals were elected and today, the map lights up with literally hundreds and hundreds of charges. The other day I saw a driver in a BMW as we crawled along 16th Avenue, holding a marijuana joint out the window (so as not stink up his nice car) between puffs. York police recently pulled over a driver spotted smoking a bong behind the wheel. I doubt smoking up while driving is going to be allowed under the coming legislation. But in the wake of no new legislation, people are doing whatever they please, it seems to me. I wish those in charge — in this case, our government — would just order the large pizza, metaphorically speaking, and get on with it. When it comes to the haze of pot laws, clarity is needed.

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Municipal Summit-Ontario Municipal Board Reform group. Thank you Ward 4 Councillor David West, Ward 5 Councilor Karen Cilevitz, Aurora Councillor Tom Mrakas and 100 delegates from across Ontario. Yes, the OMB is eroding our individual communities and what makes them unique in the interest of greed. I’ll give you an example of what’s happening on my street, Cynthia Crescent, in Oak Ridges. A neighbor down the street wants to take down his three car garages that are attached to his house and sell his land. What an eyesore! The OMB approved this mess, because apparently you can’t see it from the street, due to a small hill blocking the front of the house. Well, when you walk by the house, you can most certainly see it. What an atrocity! Thank you for urging reform. Personally, I would like the OMB abolished. When I saw your [working group] banner, it made me smile — it reminds me of the show Game of Thrones. The banner represents kingdoms in the Game of Thrones. The kingdoms, I feel, are our neighborhoods. Fly your banner high! Defeat the OMB! Thank you to all our knights in shining armor and our clever maidens for fighting for our neighborhoods.

What ‘interests’ are councillors acting on? Re: Councillors spar over ‘insulting’ village project, May 26.

Thanks to reporter Kim Zarzour for shining a light on an application by a developer that is completely at odds with Richmond Hill’s downtown village plan. I would like to add a few concerns of my own. Ward 2 Councillor Tom

www.yorkregion.com

Muench appears strongly in favour of “negotiating” with this developer, despite the fact the developer is contesting the town’s rejection of this application at the Ontario Municipal Board. The structure is proposed to be eight storeys, which is above the town’s height limit. Michael Manett on behalf of Salna Holdings appealed to council at last week’s council meeting to “negotiate” while the matter is scheduled to appear at a later date at the OMB, yet refuses to withdraw the application and address elements that are not consistent with the town’s plan. On March 28, Muench chaired a meeting supposedly for residents, but the primary focus seemed to be on invited developers, including Manett. Muench failed to invite town planners, who could have helped the discussion, and although he claims he invited the planners, this has been refuted by town staff. After last week’s proceedings, I am more inclined to believe staff. Not only did Muench again demonstrate his prodeveloper support and position, he also showed a complete lack of understanding as to the process and history of the application — a disgraceful waste of almost an hour of council time. His incapability of understanding a simple chain of events is a great concern to me and should be for all Ward 2 residents and residents in other wards also impacted by

SEND A LETTER: Email your letters to the editor to mbeck@yrmg.com development applications that completely disrespect the town’s official plan. Councillors and staff patiently and repeatedly clearly explained the situation to Muench, who still failed to grasp it. Manett’s suggestion that the town “approve the application in principle” is an affront to the plan and process and presents significant risk to the town, particularly when he and his partners are proceeding with litigation. Manett also asked that an economic analysis be done, however by his own admission (at the March 28 meeting) he stated it is “not profitable to build anything less than eight storeys”. An amendment proposed by Muench and Ward 1 Councillor Greg Beros to “continue discussions with the applicant” was voted down by all other members of council, thankfully. Beros’ comment: “at least we can say we tried our best” leaves me baffled. What exactly are Councillors Muench and Beros “trying their best” to do? It is certainly not representing the interests of the town or residents.

The actions of a man who pointed a laser at a York Regional Police helicopter last week, if proven, were “criminal and extremely dangerous”, according to Canada’s Transport Minister Marc Garneau. The incident occurred in the skies over Richmond Hill after midnight last Wednesday, just hours after the launch at Buttonville airport of a federal campaign meant to highlight the dangers of pointing lasers at planes. Garneau had appeared at the Markham airport the day before, announcing a crackdown on enforcement by federal transport officials after an alarming increase in laser strikes on aircraft. York Regional Police say the Air2 helicopter was flying over Richmond Hill when the crew was briefly blinded after someone shone a laser at their cockpit. According to a police statement, the “bright light” originated in the area of Silver Linden and High Tech Road. The helicopter’s pilot and tactical officer radioed officers on the ground to locate the suspect. Valeri Korakhashvili, 22, of Toronto, is charged with endangering persons on an aircraft in flight and obstructing a peace officer. He is due in court on June 29. Police say the pilot and tactical flight officer were taken to hospital as a precaution. The Transport Minister’s reaction to the

incident was swift. On social media last Thursday, he tweeted in both official languages that the man’s actions could pose potentially serious consequences. Garneau had used the York Region police helicopter as a backdrop when he officially unveiled the crackdown, and discussed the dangers posed to pilots and air travellers by the small, handheld lasers. The concentrated beam of light can startle a flight crew, cause temporary blindness and even permanent eye damage. Pilots and air carriers have been pressing Ottawa to step up enforcement, saying tough action is needed to curb a “genuine and growing safety and security concern”. There were almost 600 laser strikes reported to Transport Canada in 2015, up from 502 incidents the year before. Between January and April of this year, there were 148 incidents. “Transport Canada and law enforcement across the country are working together to ensure offenders face the fullest force of the law,” Garneau said at the Buttonville campaign launch. The penalties for anyone caught are a fine of up to $100,000, five years in prison, or both. Federal transport officials are asking anyone who sees someone pointing a laser at an aircraft to call police. - Kim Zarzour

rience was a first — and an eye opener — for Kelly and his wife (so disturbed by the animal’s distress that she had to flee the scene). Unfortunately, the drama ends sadly. The deer did not make it through the night. He had broken his ribs, Stockman said, and one of them likely punctured a lung. “When we were sewing him up, we noticed signs of lung damage, but we thought it was worth giving it a try. He just never came fully out of the anesthetic.” Such fence injuries are not unusual, she said. “If you’re building a new fence, you might want to choose one that doesn’t have spikes. It’s nicer for the animals, so they don’t have spears over the top.” While he was glad to have been able to pull together a team to help the animal, Kelly is crestfallen the deer did not pull through. Stockman, too, was disappointed, but sees a silver lining. “It was a bit of a rigmarole and it’s too bad it didn’t have a better outcome,” but at least, she adds, a group of committed people were able to pull together as a team and help alleviate the deer’s pain during those last moments of life. “It is true what they say. It does take a village.”

Got wildlife troubles? York Regional Police will answer a call for wild animal help – for now. But that comes to an end Sept. 1. After that date, YRP will only respond if there is an immediate risk to public safety, or if an animal is severely injured as a result of a collision with a motor vehicle. The new policy was outlined in a letter to municipalities earlier this spring, saying wildlife management is “an

inefficient use of police resources …and may give rise to officer and public safety concerns”. Starting in September,“it will be up to each municipality to have services in place to handle animal calls from residents” said Const. Andy Pattenden. The City of Vaughan announced yesterday it has a plan to tackle the issue.The committee of the whole has recommended enhanced wildlife services through an in-house solution including 24/7 response time and a wildlife intake and holding area in the current animal shelter. If approved by council later this month, the service begins Sept. 1.

About 150 York Region residents helped get the conversation started on climate change at a town hall meeting in Newmarket Tuesday night. Hosted by the region’s Liberal federal politicians, Newmarket-Aurora MP Kyle Peterson, King-Vaughan MP Deb Schulte, Richmond Hill MP Majid Jowhari and Vaughan-Woodbridge MP Francesco Sorbara, the event is part of a national discussion launched by the federal government. Ottawa has pledged action on the growing concern of climate change, Peterson said. In March of this year, after meeting with First Nations, Inuit and Metis leaders, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau outlined the vision and principles that will guide Canada as we move toward sustainable and clean economic growth, he said. “Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, but also one of the greatest opportunities.” The national conversations are giving residents in the region and across Canada the opportunity to share their ideas as Canada develops its plan for encouraging clean growth and tackling climate change, Peterson said. “Our government believes that the feedback from Canadians, such as yourselves, generated at town hall discussions across the nation, will contribute to Canada’s approach on climate change, an approach that will help our country to meet or exceed international emissions targets and ensure a more sustainable and prosperous future for Canada,” he said. Amanda Harvey-Sanchez, a member of a national grassroots campaign called People’s Climate Plan, called the meeting a significant initiative. “I think tonight we have a really unique opportunity where the federal government has said that they actually want to hear from citizens and we’re here to demand that citizens want bold climate action and bold climate action means we need to respect climate sci-

ence that says we need to keep the majority of fossil fuels in the ground,” said the 20-year-old, who is also a national organizer with environmental group 350.org “We need to begin the transition to a 100 per cent renewable energy economy, creating over a million clean and safe jobs for Canadians. And we need to ensure justice for indigenous communities and for workers and those most impacted by climate change.” Change is needed not only to protect the environment for generations to come, but Canada must prove it is a leader on the global stage, Harvey-Sanchez said. Residents from across the region who attended the meeting said climate change is an important issue needing action now. “I care about the issue because I’m very concerned that we’re destroying the planet in many ways and climate change has been one of them. Climate change is the most dire way we’re destroying the planet,” Susan Sheard, a resident of Willow Beach in Georgina, said. Vibeka Ball, of King, said she has been concerned about the environment and climate change for a long time. “Nature, we need to support nature, right?” she said.“You can see the extremes in the weather everywhere, whether it’s the drought in California or the fires in Fort McMurray. It’s a real concern.” Norm Beach, who is moving from North York to Richmond Hill, said he has felt strongly about nature for a long time. “What concerns me is the nature we have enjoyed for so long is under threat and it is under imminent threat. I’m very pleased to see so many people from the region come out sharing my concerns,” he said. “I want our elected representatives to know this is a top of mind issue. I believe it is the issue of this century. So far, politicians have not paid close attention to it. We’re dealing with all of these issues that are day-to-day concerns and we’re missing this groundswell of problems that are being created by an invisible enemy.”

Investigators with York Regional Police’s hold-up unit are seeking the public’s help to identify three suspects following two convenience store robberies. Shortly after 2 a.m. on May 23, police were called to a convenience store in the area of Yonge Street and Henderson Drive in Aurora for a report of a robbery. According to police, three suspects entered the convenience store, one of whom was armed with a handgun, and demanded cash and cigarettes. The employee complied and the suspects fled the store on foot with a quantity of cash and cigarettes. The employee was not physically injured as a result of the incident. A short time later, at 2:25 a.m., police were called to a convenience store in the area of Bathurst Street and Humberland Drive in Richmond Hill for another robbery. Police say two men entered the store — one armed with a handgun — and one suspect allegedly struck the employee with the gun before demanding cash and cigars. The employee complied and the suspects left the store with cash, cigars and a backpack containing the employee’s personal items. The suspects involved in both robberies had a similar description and they are believed to be linked. The first suspect is described as a black male, aged 16 to 20 years of age, with a thin build and about five-footten to six-feet tall. He was wearing jeans, a black hoodie, a medical mask covering his face and carried a gun. The second suspect is described as a black male, with a thin build and between five-foot-seven and five-foot-nineinches tall. He was wearing jeans, a black hoodie, a black ski mask covering his face and also armed with a gun. The third suspect is described as also being a black male, with a thin build and between five-foot-seven and five-foot-nine-inches tall. He was wearing jeans, a black hoodie and had a black ski mask covering his face. The investigation is ongoing.

Discover my secret... I’ve discovered that real independence for my wife and I means having the freedom to do what we want, when we want, without being tied to household maintenance, chores or the drudgery of cooking. True independence means fine dining with friends and planning our day around what we want to do. Now we live in an active community of like-minded adults with a staff as dependable as family. The real secret? We chose a Delmanor community.

Canadian Blood Services urge York Region residents to roll up their sleeves for blood donations to help patients in need. Partly due to new donation rules to protect the blood supply from the Zika virus and due to missed appointments, there have been fewer donations and increased pressure on the blood supply in the GTA, say officials from Canadian Blood Services. In late April, the not-for-profit organization announced the need for 200,000 blood donations by July. After coming just halfway to the goal, patients at GTA hospitals are still in need of another 100,000 donations over the next few weeks. “We are pleased by the response we’ve seen from many returning and new blood donors, but we still need others to get involved,” said Michael Betel, regional director, donor relations. “It’s very important for Canadians to do their best to keep their blood donation appointments, and even bring a friend or family member to donate, too.” Donors can sign up to receive text messages as appointment reminders, and all clinics offer walk-ins. In many cases, clinic hours have been extended to help more people donate. Richmond Hill’s permanent blood clinic inside Hillcrest Mall is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m., as well as Friday mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. For various ways to book an appointment to save a life, visit blood.ca. - Jonalyn Aguilar

Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything being said, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, the Audéo V hearing aid has been designed specifically to understand speech in group situations. The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in group situations, especially in restaurants. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that determine when you hear things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory centre of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Without Audéo V

With Audéo V

The Audéo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech. Developed by Swiss audiologists the Audéo V hearing aid is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can trial the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. During your FREE hearing test, our Hearing Care Professionals will determine how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the technology called “Autosense OS” plays. This technology can recognize where the person being spoken to is located and can amplify only his or her voice,

Are you not hearing clearly when a group of people are talking?

while ambient noise is reduced. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing aid can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds, seamlessly adjusting to the listening situation. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for the right candidates. Interested people can register for a free hearing test and trial of the Audéo V by calling 1.888.408.7377

MacLeod’s Landing Public School’s concert band earned platinum at MusicAlive, a regional music competition, then were invited to compete at the national music festival in Ottawa. The music students earned a silver at MusicFest, but equally exciting for them and their music teacher, Deborah Raun, was meeting Richmond Hill and GTA MPs and getting a quick, but friendly greeting from the prime minister. The adventure happened in early May, when band students from grades 6 through 8, and teachers arrived in Ottawa. At Parliament Hill. the group saw a motorcade of cars in front of the Peace Tower. “My teaching partner, David Lebovici, said, ‘I bet we’re going to see the prime minister,’

but I thought there’s no way.” A number of members of parliament exited — East coast MPs Darren Fisher and Andy Fillmore, Toronto MPs Adam Vaughan and Kirsty Duncan and Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan came over to the group of 45 students. Several of the MPs stayed with the group for about an hour, talking to the students extensively, asking questions, and teaching them about politics. At about 8:30 p.m., Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came outside. “He gave a quick wave to all of us and we cheered. He then jumped into one of the many cars that were part of the motorcade. Then, he did something that, to me, was reminiscent of his dad, Pierre Elliott Trudeau,” said Raun. “He popped his head up from the car and waved

again. He exuded youth, charm and charisma all in just a few seconds!” The following day, while en route to a bike tour of the capital city, Raun received a phone call from the assistant to MP Fisher, who represents Dartmouth-Cole Harbour in Nova Scotia. “He said his name was Patrick and he was trying to get us into Question Period.” Three calls later and being told several times that it could not work out, the group finally secured seats, and had to quickly return their bikes and run to Parliament Hill. “Once we got there, no Patrick, and there were a number of metal fences that prevented our entry.” In unison, the students all yelled “Patrick” and he quickly found the Richmond Hill group

and after two security checks, got them into Question Period. When it concluded, Raun received an email from Leona Alleslev, the Aurora-Oak RidgesRichmond Hill MP. Alleslev met the group at the Eternal Flame and had an engaging discussion with the students. “She was wonderful. She gave all the students Canadian flag pins and said her daughter attended MacLeod’s Landing while in kindergarten.” The very next day, MacLeod’s Landing band performed at the Nationals and won silver. “The entire experience was truly a highlight of my teaching career and I am so proud and pleased that I got to share all of it with such a wonderful group of students,” said Raun. - Jonalyn Aguilar

Maya was shocked by the change in her hair. Fullness and volume were replaced by thinness and lifeless hair. She had to do something.

he hair I found in my brush, in the shower and on my cardigan was unfamiliar to me. It was thinning like never before. How could this be happening?

I had to do something I found out my mother experienced the same problems when she was younger, and she simply accepted her fate. But so much of my personality is in my hair, and I did not want to have the same problems. I had read about the importance of hair nutrients, so I decided to focus on the inside rather than on the outside, and went looking for a good supplement. DI

My hair feels full and healthy and even my nails feel much stronger. The shedding has also almost stopped. This is proof to me that proper nutrition on the inside helps you look your best on the outside. I highly recommend Hair Volume.” Maya N., Sweden

Cherry Webster loved by students, friends

By Teresa LaTchford

tlatchford@yrmg.com

herry Webster’s notes will continue to ring true in the hearts of those who knew her. To some, she was a loving wife and devoted mother of two. To others, she was a dedicated teacher and the community will remember her forever as the organist who played at the Ray Twinney Complex during Newmarket Saints games. She was an energetic and encouraging spirit who will never be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to have crossed her path. “She was a unique person,” her husband, Bill, said. “She was mystifying, talented, smart, funny and shared my love for music.” They first met at the “Jolly” Miller Tavern in Toronto more than four decades ago. Both were musicians and teachers who were just beginning their careers. It was only six months later that the couple married. In 1974, the couple moved to Newmarket, a move they called the great white north at the time. Over the years, Cherry taught primary and junior grades, music, special needs children and French at Park Avenue Public School, at schools in Aurora, but spent the majority of her time at Prince Charles Public School in Newmarket. “The students who needed most, just gravitated toward her because of her empathy and because she was so giving,” he added. “She was just an amazing person in everything she did.” Cherry juggled her teaching

career, raising her children, Darryl and Kim, and teaching private piano lessons. On top of that, she decided the Newmarket Saints games needed a certain spice so, for every game, she would lug her equipment, plus her children, to the second floor of the recreation complex to rev up players and fans. “I still meet people today who knew my mom as the Leafs’ farm team organist,” Darryl said. “I have been to some faraway places and people know who my mother was; a beautiful person.” But closer to home, he remembers his mother being someone who always put everyone else first, almost to a fault, as he wonders if she ever had time for herself. When he was 12, he attended a goalie school in Orillia, but was too shy to spend the night at the camp, so his mother crammed his hockey equipment into her IROC Z28 at 5 a.m. three times a week to allow him to have the experience. “She would encourage any idea we had,” he laughed. “I wanted to travel with a band that made no money and she never discouraged me.” When his sister, Kim, moved to Manchester, Cherry never discouraged her and remained close with her daughter. Cherry always enjoyed travelling to see her daughter and felt very much at home there. Her empathy for others began well before her family was established or before she became a teacher. When her classmates were choosing to go to Paris as part of French studies, she went to Africa where she could do mission work on top of teaching French.

In addition to her other talents, Cherry had written a children’s book, but had never done anything with it until she was diagnosed with a brain tumour that claimed her life in April. With help from her family, the book, The Amazing Adventures of Squeaky and Vashy, has been published. The family is currently working on organizing a life celebration to be held in August. “We want the celebration to be as unique as she was,” Bill said. It will be a celebration with music and memories to pay tribute to a life that was taken too soon. Cherry Webster was a bright light in many people’s lives:

Celebrate a life well lived!

“Adored by children, universally respected and an inspiration to her peers, Mrs. McCluskey was a tireless volunteer, quick to deflect the praise heaped on her.”

“She was my first teacher when I started at Prince Charles, she made me feel comfortable and she was one of the best teachers I had. “I still think of her often and, like a lot of others, have mentioned I, too, still use her songs to help aid my own children in their mathematical journey.” —Melanie Walsh-Boland “I wouldn’t have survived my first few years of teaching at Park Avenue without her as a mentor and shining guide. She was such a dedicated and hard-working teacher. Her sensitivity to others, enthusiasm, positive approach, creativity Your community newspaper is celebrating the achievements and contributions of everyday, ordinary people, who have affected the lives of others in extraordinary ways. Leaving a lasting impression on the community, our award-winning journalists will write a fitting tribute in memory of those who have a special story to share. Through your community newspaper and LifeNews.ca, we celebrate those no longer with us and remember the memories we share.

and kindness were appreciated by everyone.” —susan collett “Mrs. Webster was my Grade 4 teacher and a teacher I will never forget. I still remember, to this day, the songs she taught us to help with math. “I have also used these to help teach my children. I remember days of going to the Newmarket Saints hockey games and being more excited that my teacher was the musician playing on her keyboard. Thank you for the wonderful memories. You will never be forgotten.” — Jennifer Gillison
