Officer ‘sickened’ by fraudsters targeting elderly local woman

By Jeremy Grimaldi

jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

Mary Waldon (not her real name) never gambles, but, one day, while reading her daily newspaper, she saw an advertisement for the Australian Lottery.

“I don’t play the lottery, I avoid them,” said the 85-year-old who lives in Richmond Hill.

But with a crisp $10 bill sitting nearby, she thought, why not?

“I thought, what the heck,” she added.

That was the beginning of fraud involving countless men and women, that now seems more like a nightmare.

Over three years, some $600,000 – she and her husband’s life savings – was funnelled from her bank account by men likely located in Jamaica.

Now Waldon has been left struggling to care for her husband, who, at 88 is has Alzheimer’s disease.

After mailing the money off, about three years ago, she promptly forgot ever sending the letter until receiving a call months later from a gentleman with a West Indian accent.

“He said, ‘Do you realize you have won lots of money in the Australian Lottery’,” she said, noting that the alleged winnings totalled $27.5 million.

Waldon said she was skeptical at first, but was enticed by the amount of money she was in line for – wanting to help her ill husband spend winters in Arizona.

So when she got a second call from a man she said was “ever so nice”, she obliged his requests and sent $500 to get an Australian “Gold Seal”, which would allow for reclamation of the prize.

Town could decide where pet stores get their animals

BY KIM ZARZOUR

kzarzour@yrmg.com

Richmond Hill pet stores will only be allowed to sell dogs, cats and rabbits that come from animal rescue and shelters if a motion, passed by committee this week, is confirmed at a full council vote Monday.

The motion is intended to chip away at the problem of pet over-population and puppy mills and back yard breeders who raise and sell puppies in unethical, unhealthy conditions.

The issue was first raised in 2015 after delegations and letter-writers expressed concerns about pet stores that source their animals from commercial breeders.

Animal lovers point to instances where dogs and cats are raised in cages in factory-like buildings with little to no medical attention, who are poorly socialized and unhealthy due to inbreeding and overbreeding.

Mississauga pet stores must obtain animals to sell from shelters, must be inspected and provide vet assessments with dogs and cats; Oakville licenses pet shops and requires animals be sourced from shelters and rescues with accompanying documentation; Oshawa is considering a modified pet bylaw and licensing system; Toronto restricts sources of animals to shelters and rescues and requires health certificates and records; Vaughan pet stores may only source dogs and cats to sell from animal shelters and rescues.

The staff report presented at Tuesday’s committee of the whole said banning the sale of dogs and cats won’t solve the puppy mill problem and a more achievable goal is to ensure informed, safe and reliable trans-

10 retail locations classified as pet stores in town sell cats and/or dogs. Six stores adopt out dogs and/or cats in cooperation with local shelters and rescues and one location does not deal in dogs or cats.

Parnian – representing one of retailers who sells pets - accused the activists of lying about conditions in pet stores and not representing the local area.

“Why are we not listening to the people of Richmond Hill? Why are we listening to people from Hamilton, Toronto, other cities to decide our fate?”

Ward 5 Councillor Karen Cilevitz said the fact that delegations traveled to Richmond Hill from beyond the municipality speaks to the importance of the issue and shows there

“There is no rescue organization on this planet that is going to sell their pups to a for-profit store, for that store to turn around and resell at a profit” However, a local pet store owner, and an association representing pet store owners, both argued against the restriction.

Removing the option to sell dogs and cats from retail pet stores will have a serious negative impact on local businesses, said Louis McCann, president and CEO of the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council of Canada.

In a letter to council, McCann warned that local shelters and rescues aren’t always able to offer a consistent supply of animals, and those imported from other jurisdictions present potential danger of disease transmission.

Richmond Hill council heard from several animal rights activists who said pet stores may be supporting these abusive and harmful breeding practices.

Many consumers are not aware of this problem, Nancy Penrose told councillors.

“They end up with an unhealthy pet, staggering pet bills and realize the hard way that impulsive purchase was a very bad decision.”

Municipalities, however, have no ability to control puppy mills; they can only regulate pet stores or restrict the source of their animals.

Other municipalities have tackled the problem in a variety of ways: Georgina’s bylaw requires pet stores be licensed, regulated and inspected by the town; Kingston banned pet sales in stores – they may work with shelters and rescues to adopt, instead;

Richmond Hill staff was asked to investigate the possibility of a ban on pet sales after receiving a petition of 2,000 names and letters expressing concern. actions in local stores. Staff recommended the town limit the sourcing of dogs and cats to registered shelters, registered humane societies, registered rescues and municipal shelters as a way to provide local access for pet acquisition.

Arman Parnian spoke on behalf of local store Pet’s Friend and warned that a ban would jeopardize business.

Regulating stores would be a better option, he said, and not overly expensive for the town to enforce because there are few such retailers in Richmond Hill.

According to the staff report, three of the

is support across Ontario for eliminating retail sales of pets.

Cilevitz argued in favour of an outright ban on dog and cat sales in stores, saying stores could reap the benefit of hosting adoption centres for shelters through higher food and accessory sales.

It may not stop puppy mills, she said, “but if you remove the demand, you remove supply…Richmond Hill needs to step forward and show leadership.”

Ward 5 councillor Greg Beros disagreed.

Enforcing where pets in stores come from could be a problem for the town, he said,

and won’t really impact puppy mill problem.

“We need to continue to tell our residents you need to be careful what you buy.

Same thing goes with any other transaction our residents are entering into.”

Regional Councillor Brenda Hogg pointed out the issue of animal welfare is a provincial responsibility.

“What we have are concerned citizens from a variety of municipalities going from municipality to municipality, trying to create legislation. I really think the leadership should be coming from the province.”

Councillors struggled with the contentious issue for more than an hour Tuesday night, with some councillors saying no ban was necessary, others advocating for a full ban on pet store sales, and still more who felt a compromise was possible.

It was the latter who won in a vote of 5-3, asking for a bylaw to be brought forward

by October requiring dogs, cats and rabbits sold by pet stores to be sourced from humane societies, animal shelters and rescues, with a six-month grace period to allow pet stores to sell animals already on their premises.

“The point simply is, we are restricting, as best we can, what the source of those animals are,” said Mayor Dave Barrow.

A final vote is expected next week, but activists yesterday warned that such a bylaw may not be feasible.

“There is no rescue organization on this planet that is going to sell their pups to a for-profit store, for that store to turn around and resell at a profit,” said animal activist Kasey Dunn.

Dunn said the town must ensure puppy mills don’t create fake “rescues” from which to sell.

Alison Cross, spokesperson for the Ontario SPCA, said her organization sends some animals to pet stores to act as satellite adoption centres. Adoption fees remain with the society and the pet store does not profit from the adoption, she said.

“When it comes to the sale of an animal,” Cross said yesterday, “our concern lies on where the animal comes from and making sure people are not supporting irresponsible breeders. We promote responsible pet purchasing to help future pet owners make informed decisions when purchasing a pet.”

TOWN HALL

GOOD TO KNOW: A national survey conducted by Ipsos Reid in 2008 found that 10 per cent of all dogs and nine per cent of all cats were obtained from pet stores.

The majority of cats are acquired from friends or relatives, while more than one third of dogs come from breeders.

Technology? Meet activity

Door-to-door scams need to be stopped

t seems we are the lethargic victims of our over-active technological appetites.

This is especially the case when it comes to our sluggish, lackadaisical kids.

ParticipACTION — a non-profit national organization that encourages physical activity and overall healthy living — released its latest study last week, and to say the results are alarming, would be a gross understatement. The group’s latest findings are that children are not getting enough sleep because they don’t get enough activity during the day to make them tired.

The group also found children spend way too much time staring at computers and mobile device screens — which keeps them indoors, sitting for long periods of time — and away from the movement, fresh air and social interaction their growing bodies and minds so desperately need.

The most disturbing discovery is that children are sleep deprived, which sets off a cyclical downward spiral, making them less active and lazy from the minute they awake.

This should set off an alarm clock for adults who care for, nurture and supervise today’s youngsters. We must kick out of bed this disturbing trend where it’s now the norm for children to be sluggish and unmotivated.

This is the part where I could preach about how my generation — which grew up in the 1960s and ’70s — was outside playing at the crack of dawn each day; swimming at the beach, popping flies on the baseball field or hanging upside down at the park, only to return hours later for supper and then fall, exhausted, into bed.

But I won’t do that. It’s a much different world out there today and, because of that, we have to re-invent how to live in the 21st century. We need to find that balance between our brain’s thirst for technological discovery and our inherent need for physical activity and stimulation.

We need to look to educators to take a few first crucial steps to reconciling the mess we’ve all created.

The good news is, there are

On June 7, Ward 5 Councillor Karen Cilevitz introduced a motion aimed at joining with Markham to urge the province to take legislative action against aggressive and persistent door-to-door marketing — to have Richmond Hill’s voice heard loud and clear in this regard.

I appeared in council chambers for the committee of the whole meeting to support this motion.

What I witnessed was truly baffling: members of council smirking and making asides during my fiveminute speech, before later claiming the motion itself was “offensive” and “disrespectful” to council.

One senior member of council explained that many resolutions are passed in municipalities with names she can’t even pronounce, so why jump on board with this one?

Another member cited concerns of the Richmond Hill Chamber of Commerce (really? is door-to-door really the best way to be doing business in Richmond Hill in 2016?), while another councillor pondered aloud how he might justify this resolution to a constituent he runs into in the mall, as if this is not something the average resident would understand or appreciate.

The consensus among councillors was that while they supported the “intent” of the resolution, they felt the issue was a provincial matter that did not lie within their purview as a municipal council.

In the end, the resolution was voted down 8-1, with even Councillor Godwin Chan, who initially was going to second the motion, voting against it.

This was a motion to show support for a known problem directly negatively

I

Tracy Kibble slow emerging clues that we are starting to turn the tide on our over-indulgent, dozing, lazy lifestyles, but it’s coming at a snail’s pace.

Communities, for example, are being designed to incorporate more active lifestyles, encouraging families to get out of their vehicles and into the sunshine.

And many young parents are starting to head outdoors with their children to promote that balance of physical and intellectual bonding and play.

Here’s a few suggestions to keep the momentum going: • Ensure every public school in Ontario has at least one teacher on staff with a degree and/or training in physical education: a majority of teachers don’t have the slightest idea how to get children moving and have little knowledge about the science of how young bodies work and flourish.

• Make physical and health education part of our school curriculum from Grade 1, so that children learn to appreciate and value, at a very young age, how energy, team-building sports and rampedup metabolisms make for sharper minds and better night’s sleeps.

• Make physical education a three-credit course in high school.

As it is now, only one credit is required and, after that, most students, especially girls, never see a gym class for the next three years.

• Finally, and this is the most important suggestion: parents must limit screen time to no more than a few hours each day. Studies show only 24 per cent of five to 17-year-olds meet the Canadian Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines recommendation of no more than two hours of recreational screen time per day, according to a Canadian Health Measures survey in 2012.

impacting local residents.

Was it really too much to expect our council to take this resolution seriously when other Ontario municipalities are taking firm action to lobby the province to include legislation against aggressive (and sometimes criminal) doorto-door marketing? Council has passed resolutions to lobby the province in the past, why did this motion not pass that same muster?

Most importantly, how are Richmond Hill residents like myself and others in Ward 5 who supported our councillor’s efforts and who called, emailed and urged council to pass this resolution being supported by this non-action?

If not this motion, what would it take to finally urge a majority of our council to act in the best interests of Richmond Hill residents?

Aggressive door-to-door marketing is happening here in Richmond Hill and it is only going to get worse unless other municipalities take firm action to urge the province to legislate against it.

Richmond Hill should have joined in this concerted effort.

Where is the harm in, at the very least, trying?

renewal time, I and hundreds of others always wait more than an hour, even lined up outside in the cold for a long time.

Yet, we cough up good change every time we buy the services.

It is high time something is done to bring wait times to a reasonable level and even more important, to move into a bigger facility where customers don’t need to line up outside during winter or summer.

Lastly, I agree the staff is friendly and polite.

Larger offices needed Re: Fix long lineups at Service Ontario, letter by Donald E. Crabbe, June 16.

I, too, have encountered those long lineups at Service Ontario in Richmond Hill.

I sent an e-mail to our MPP Reza Moridi asking why this office was not able to serve customers in a reasonable amount of time, and although MPP Moridi did reply, nothing has changed in the past two years.

It’s quite obvious that because of increased population, a larger facility is needed.

After sending the money, more phone calls began, from “morning, noon to night” she was harangued by men asking for between $500 and $1,000, which she usually obliged.

Eventually, the calls stopped, signalling the introduction of three new characters – Mr. Banks, Clark and Branti.

“He was very mature, with a great deal of knowledge about banking,” she said about Mr. Clark. “I told him, ‘I’m sick of the Australian Lottery. All I get is calls, no money’. I told them, ‘In Canada, all you had to do was go to the lottery office and pick up your winnings’, but they always had an answer for me.”

Mr. Branti, who claimed to be a highranking executive at TD Bank, said it was going to take even more money Marietta Reece is suspected for him to “handle” the of helping to defraud a Hill senior out of millions he told Waldon Richmond $600,000. she had won.

Over the next year, she sent between $2,000 and $3,000 about 20 times to unknown persons to pay national “taxes” in order to get the money.

The scam then evolved further, with Waldon eventually receiving a call from the mysterious Mr. MacIntosh, who claimed to be from a security firm associated with the Australian Lottery.

“He said they’ve been going over my file and that the men had done something wrong and were being taken to court,” she said, explaining how she was eventually told how Mr. Branti and Clark were sent to prison, while Mr. Banks had passed away.

Waldon was told, always in friendly and engaging terms, that all her payments had to be paid again.

After that, she began paying $5,000 to $10,000, but not cheques, rather, cash.

“They would always be calling, asking how I was doing, how my husband was doing, but they always said keep your business to your-

self,” she said. “So when my bank called to query the payments, I said I was doing home renovations.”

Police say to collect the cash, ‘Mr. MacIntosh’ was sending a Brampton woman to pick up the money in brown envelopes, eventually stuffed with up to $20,000 to $25,000.

Eventually, Waldon was told she was all paid up and would be receiving a briefcase in the mail filled with cash.

But before it arrived, she became frustrated with the entire affair and called York Regional Police.

Although a briefcase eventually did come, police only discovered books about condominiums for sale in Toronto.

“I felt betrayed. I mean I wasn’t friends with these people, but I didn’t have any reason to doubt them,” said Waldon. “I don’t feel as though they should go to jail, I think they should be stripped of all their possessions and walked through the streets with a sign saying, ‘I am a thief and I prey on elderly people’.”

She said the saddest part of the entire ordeal is that fraud still continue, despite the lessons she’s learned.

Det. Sean Hopton, who investigated the case, said it will be very difficult to identify Mr. MacIntosh.

However, he insisted multiple suspects are under investigation and while the probe can take police anywhere, there are challenges crossing borders.

“Honestly, it makes me sick,” he said. “And I say that to the people I arrest, I say, ‘How can you be so heartless and take so much money from these people’. “It’s not enough they take their money, but many times they go for more and ask them to take out even more loans from the bank. To me, it’s completely heartless and sickening.”

He added he is also hoping to get Waldon some money back in the form of restitution.

Marietta Reece, 37, from Brampton and Chantel Carter of Ajax have been charged with fraud over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime, conspiracy and laundering proceeds of crime.

EDUCATION

Catholic board begins to chop potential $12 million deficit

BY LISA QUEEN

lqueen@yrmg.com

York Region’s Catholic school trustees won’t be able to bring in a balanced budget this month, but they are chopping enough to buy some breathing space from the province, vice-chairperson Elizabeth Crowe says.

It is illegal for municipalities and school boards to run deficits.

The York Catholic District School Board learned that the hard way about 20 years ago when a potential $32-million deficit led to threats that the province would take over the board, leaving trustees to make some difficult financial decisions instead.

This year, the board was faced with a potential deficit of $12 million on its $568.8 million budget.

During a marathon meeting Tuesday night that ran until about 1 a.m., trustees cut $4.4 million.

For example, they cut $1 million by getting rid of six resource teachers who help teachers with professional development.

The resource teachers have not been laid off, they will resume the positions they had before, said Crowe, the trustee for Aurora, King and Whitchurch-Stouffville.

Another $1 million has been found in administrative cuts by not hiring vacant positions or re-aligning staff.

“There will be no layoffs at this point,” Crowe said.

“Right now, we are fortunate enough not to have to do layoffs.”

However, the board will be looking to close some schools and cut back on transportation costs in coming years, Crowe said.

The board has also found $2 million by changing the way benefits are dealt with and $1 million in cutting non-mandatory professional development costs, Crowe said.

Meanwhile, trustees said they are com-

mitted to boosting support for the board’s northern initiative program to help increase student achievement in its Georgina schools, which fall below board and provincial standards.

There are still two more budget meetings this month where trustees will look to make further cuts.

At this point, the goal is to bring in a “compliant” rather than balanced budget, Crowe said.

If the board can bring its deficit down to $5.1 million — about 1 per cent of its budget — the province won’t step in and trustees will then have until December to look further at the financial books and other factors, such as student enrolment, she said.

Trustees also agreed to give the Italian community until December to raise money to bankroll the cherished extended day Italian language and cultural program.

Ken Cancellara, president of the Ontario branch of the National Congress of ItalianCanadians, pleaded with trustees to save the program.

While he sympathized with the board’s financial plight, he urged trustees not to embark on a “slash and burn” mentality.

“The topic of even the remote possibility of removing the teaching of Italian from the school system is a hot topic for discussion in the streets, at espresso bars, in corporate offices, at fundraising events, everywhere. I know this because I have been personally approached by many such concerned citizens asking, ‘What is the community doing about this outrage’,” Cancellara said.

“Please don’t underestimate this so-far smooth flowing current that could instantly turn into very turbulent and raging waters.

Canadians of Italian heritage are a passionate people, especially when it comes to the preservation of their culture.”

Hill House Hospice welcomes additional provincial funding

BY KIM ZARZOUR

kzarzour@yrmg.com

Hill House Hospice in Richmond Hill is receiving an additional $45,000 to enhance palliative and end-of-life care, MPP Reza Moridi announced Tuesday.

The funding, part of $75 million to be spread over three years across Ontario, will help Hill House continue to provide vital support in a home-like setting, said Kim Baker, CEO of Central LHIN. Moridi called it a first step in the province’s commitment to strengthen access to such services by increasing funding for existing hospice beds by $15,000 per adult bed and $22,400 per pediatric bed.

Ontario is providing funding increases for 39 facilities that provide hospice care across the province and committed to supporting up to 20 additional hospices, he said.

“Our government’s goal is to provide high quality care at every stage of life and in every setting, ensuring that patients and families in Richmond Hill have access to compassionate

palliative care. We are taking action to help more people get better palliative and endof-life care that respects their wishes and is provided where they want it, which usually means within their communities.”

Hill House Hospice is a non-profit, nondenominational organization. Located in a bungalow on Wright Street in the old village of Richmond Hill, the hospice offers compassionate palliative care for the terminally ill in the final stages of life.

“Helping people ‘live until they die’ is one the most intimate and rewarding services we can provide to the terminally ill,” said executive director Anne-Marie Dean.

Hill House is community driven and hugely successful due to the participation and fundraising of the community and the support of The Town of Richmond Hill, she said.

“This increase in funding will help us continue to not only meet, but exceed the expectations of our clients and families by our dedicated nurses, personal support workers and volunteers.”

Heather Skoll (left) and Mariette Lee know to become “self-sustainable”.

Tuesday’s event, to be held at Richmond Hill Art School, will feature a panel of young adults from York Region who will talk about the “key burning issues” of their age group and share their experiences of post-grad life, including first-year post-secondary, academic life, social life and general lifestyle questions.

Future workshops are planned, building on panel discussion topics and feedback from participants.

“There is a societal issue or gap that our young adults, and future young adults, face,” Skoll says. As a result, youths’ concerns – such as a lack of jobs that move them on to the next steps towards independence, high debt from post-secondary school, moving back home, loss of hope leading to mental health issues – go unaddressed.

“Why address this issue? Because it is of present and future concern. It affects my kids who are young adults, their future kids, and really all of us in our community and globally.”

Bust Belly Fat with GLUCOsmart Lorna Vanderhaeghe

Belly fat is a stubborn problem. No end of sit-ups Canada’s leading women’s natural health expert and crunches make it disappear. We know there is a connection between our expanding waistlines and our hormones. Insulin is a powerful hormone that, when in excess, causes belly fat and an elevation in circulating male hormones in women, causing facial hair growth and acne too.

Thankfully, busting belly fat and normalizing insulin just got easier. GLUCOsmart containing Chirositol™ has been researched in over 30 studies at the Virginia Medical School, showing it aids weight weight loss and stops sugar FREE cravings. But where GLUCOsmart BOOK P U RCH A SE really shines is in fighting belly fat in both men and women.

It is hard growing up – but then again, it always has been, says Mariette Lee. The 25-year-old Newmarket resident noticed, however, that when she and her friends moved on from high school to the post-secondary world, something was missing.

“There’s an empty space between the traditional classroom and post-secondary life and it doesn’t prepare you for what’s ahead – things like learning to live on your own, financial literacy, supportive social networks, resume building, participating in meaningful activities.”

Heather Skoll had noticed the same thing.

As founder of We Can Change the World Day and a Richmond Hill mom, Skoll heard from youth and parents about the difficult transition to adulthood.

That’s when the two came up with the idea of Gap-Gen. Next Tuesday, the inaugural meeting and “Life After High School” panel discussion will be held in Richmond Hill.

Gap-Gen is a new social entrepreneurial start-up dedicated to youth engagement and development through which Lee and Skoll will offer programs to help youth and young adults handle transitional challenges.

Lee, who attended Richmond Hill’s Bayview Secondary School, graduated from McMaster University in 2014 with a combined honours in English and Anthropology.

She is now pursuing her Masters in Counselling Psychology, but she says she and her friends struggled to find the right job after graduation.

“There’s all these bright, young, wonderful people, beautiful people inside and out, but something’s missing – that middle stepping stone.”

Rather than spend those post-graduation years spinning their wheels, she says youth need help discovering how to use what they

BY MICHAEL HAYAKAWA

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

Temperatures and emotions were high last weekend as York Region’s annual Pride Parade marched down Yonge Street in Richmond Hill.

The mood was happy and festive, and crowds on the sidewalk cheered the parade floats and marchers with their inclusive and acceptance messages.

There were messages and signs of the shadow that has fallen over all of this month’s Pride festivites, with several marchers carrying signs: “We Stand With Orlando” in reference to the lives lost at the gay nightclub massacre in that Florida City less than a week ago.

Jacob Gal along with a number of other York Region residents are on a mission.

What Gal and the rest of the people he shares a common interest with aim to inform the public the gay and lesbian community have equal rights as everyone else.

They are no different from others in that they include people who attend school or hold jobs just like everyone else.

Sure there’s been some inroads made through the years, cited Gal, who serves as a spokesman for the York Pride festival.

But there’s still a long ways to go.

To show their solidarity and spread their aims, individuals supporting those rights came out in full force for the fourth annual York Pride Parade.

With the parade beginning at the intersection of Yonge Street and Crosby Avenue, it proceeded in a civilized manner with plenty of interaction among the participants and bystanders.

New to this year’s parade was having parade participants walk back to the Falcon and Firkin eatery as a Walk of Remembrance to pay their respects for the victims of last Sunday’s shooting where 50 people were killed and another 53 were injured at Pulse, a gay nightclub, in Orlando, Fla. “With the recent events in Orlando we felt this was appropriate,” said Gal. “It’s reeducating people and to celebrate life.”

Hours before the parade began, music emanated from a radio station remote at the pub and sponsors put up tents and had literature available pertaining to the theme of the day.

An originally scheduled Pride in the Park event at the town park was dropped, as Gal noted a shortage of funding prevented them from hosting that event. Gal said they had just one week to find a new site for postparade festivities.

Enter the Falcon and Firkin, which answered their call and served as gracious hosts for their pre- and post-parade festival.

“It’s been a tough year for us,” he said.

“Some municipalities change with how they deal with festivals. You have to apply for grants and the current system is designed for bigger events like rib fests or car shows.

“Our event is entirely run by volunteers and we have to work hard to get sponsorships. With the small amounts of funding we got this year we were lucky to have our T-shirts donated by We Print T Shirts in Keswick and The Flag Store in Barrie donated our decor and Starbucks sponsored our volunteer breakfast table and CUPE 905 donated funds as well for sponsorship.”

Community sport has grown with the event. Gal recalled they might have started with around 100 people watching their inaugural Pride parade.

But through the years, he said they continued to generate awareness and more spectators and organizations are offering support.

This year, he said there were close to 40 organizations involved.

Among those who showed their pride included: the Richmond Hill Fire Department, Starbucks, York Regional Police, York Region District School Board, York Region Transit, the Markham Youth Theatre, Township of Georgina, the provincial and federal Liberal parties, members of the Richmond Green Secondary School band and CUPE 905.

While he praises those groups that have joined in to support their cause, Gal hopes there will be a day when other major corporations will take an active stance and lend their patronage.

“Right now we have no commercial floats that our in the parade,” he said. “We would like to see big companies become engaged.

The problem we have is in how to reach out to them.”

Those who were actively involved in the parade felt their presence was essential — especially after the tragic events that trans-

Signs and messages of support for Orlando nightclub victims were in evidence at last weekend’s York Region Pride Parade in Richmond Hill.

pired in Orlando, Fla. last week.

As an active participant in each of the past York Pride festivals, Amanda Knegje, president of the York Region chapter of Parents Friends of Lesbians and Gays, feels their cause has take positive steps forward.

Citing the festival and parade continues to get bigger each year, she noted their group has conducted a number of flag raising ceremonies in York Region including the City of Vaughan and City of Markham to commemorate Gay Pride awareness.

As well, they recently conducted a candlelight vigil in Markham in wake of the incident in Orlando, Fla. with some 200 people in attendance.

“We’re here (in Richmond Hill) strong. But we still have a lot of work to do. The incident

in Orlando shows us that we have to stand proud more than ever for our human rights,” she said. “You don’t fight hate with hate. You do it with love and to carry on.”

Along with individuals taking a stance, some companies have begun in that process.

That was a big reason why CUPE 905 became involved and put up a booth at the festival for the first time this year.

“To work on rights equality within a workplace,” cited Chris Biri, a CUPE 905 spokesman. “Throughout the community there’s a certain level of awareness. I think closer to Toronto there’s more people involved. But homophobia still exists. We want to show our support for the community. We’re no lesser than anyone else. We are loud and proud.”

Committed to Parent Engagement in Education?

Here’s a chance to make a difference.

The York Region District School Board invites applications for membership on the Board’s Parent, Family and Community Engagement Advisory Committee.

The Committee supports, encourages and enhances parent engagement at the Board level in order to improve student achievement and well-being.

The term of office will commence on November 1, 2016.

Members are expected to attend six meetings each year at the Education Centre in Aurora.

APPLICATION DEADLINE TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 2016.

West Nile virus Spoil a mosquito’s dinner plans

Fight the bite…

What is West Nile virus?

West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne virus that is spread to humans from the bite of an infected mosquito.

What are the symptoms of West Nile virus?

Most people infected with West Nile virus have no symptoms or have flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches and fatigue. Sometimes West Nile virus can cause severe illness including meningitis and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain).

Symptoms usually develop within two to 15 days of being bitten by an infected mosquito.

Who is at risk for West Nile virus?

Everyone who is outside during the summer months is at risk for West Nile virus and should take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. People with a chronic illness and the elderly should be especially careful.

What York Region is doing…

The York Region West Nile virus Control Plan for 2016 includes mosquito-control activities (larviciding), public education, and mosquito and human surveillance.

What is larviciding?

Larviciding is a low-risk and effective measure for the control of West Nile virus. The slow-release pellet formulation interferes with the mosquito lifecycle, preventing the mosquito larvae from reaching maturity. Larvicide is not sprayed and will be applied into the standing water of catch basins in four phases from June through September.

Will York Region apply larvicide on private property?

If you are concerned about catch basins on your property, place a mesh screen over the catch basin to prevent mosquitoes from entering and exiting. A limited number of backyard catch basins located on private property will be treated with larvicide on a case-by-case basis.

What you can do…

Prevention and protection are the best ways to protect yourself and your family from West Nile virus.

Clean up

The best way to keep mosquitoes away is to clean up areas of standing water where they like to breed. Look around your house and property and get rid of places that are “mosquito friendly”.

• Clean up and empty containers where water collects such as old tires, tin cans and flower pots • Change water in bird baths weekly • Remove water that collects on pool covers • Turn over items such as wading pools, wheelbarrows and small boats • Clear leaves and twigs from eavestroughs, storm and roof gutters • Unclog drainage ditches so that water flows freely • Make sure swimming pool pumps are circulating water • Clear out dense shrubbery where mosquitoes like to rest • Turn over compost frequently • Check that door and window screens are tight-fitting and in good repair • Drill holes in the bottoms of containers so water cannot collect

Cover up

Mosquitoes are most active between dusk and dawn. Protect yourself and your family • Wear light-coloured, long-sleeved shirts and pants • Consider using federally-registered insect repellents on exposed skin, such as those containing DEET • Always follow product instructions • The concentration of DEET should be no greater than 30 per cent for adults and no greater than 10 per cent for children • DEET-based repellents can also be used on top of clothing. Do not use repellents under clothing • Several DEET-free botanical repellents are federally registered but provide a shorter time of effectiveness

NS

York Region Public Health does not recommend the use of bat boxes as an effective method of mosquito control due to the risk of rabies. In previous summers, some bats in York Region have tested positive for rabies.

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

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.

The Audéo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech. 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.

Woodbridge, Richmond Hill men newest lotto winners Two lucky York Region residents picked up lottery winnings in recent days.

Franco Bisceglia of Woodbridge is planning a trip to Italy after winning $100,000 in the June 2 Daily Keno draw.

“I bought my winning ticket just before going on vacation to Florida,” shared Bisceglia while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to picked up his cheque. “I left the ticket sitting in my truck the whole time, not realizing I was going to find out I was a winner when I got home.”

When he got back home from Florida he took some lottery tickets to have them

“We love to travel and we see ourselves taking an amazing vacation back to Italy to visit family. This is our dream come true.” He purchased his Daily Keno ticket from News West on Langstaff Road in Woodbridge.

Richmond Hill’s Dayanand Ramdehalchand is also celebrating after winning $51,029.40 from the June 11 Lotto 6/49 draw.

“I thought I saw $100 flash on the screen. After scanning the ticket again I saw the words, ‘Big Winner.’ That’s when I knew it was a much bigger win.”

The father of two tucked his ticket back into his pocket and said nothing.

“That night, my wife, sons, daughters-in-law and eight grandchildren got together to watch a soccer game at a restaurant and that’s when I told them.

They were so happy, they started hugging and kissing me. And of course, I paid for dinner,” laughed Bisceglia.

Many Canadians look forward to basking underneath the warm sun and enjoying delightful dips in the pool. Is it time to bring life back to your cabana, pool house or deck?

Here, Benjamin Moore’s colour and design expert, Sharon Grech, offers tips on the perfect application of stain or paint:

Plan your attack: Painting a wood surface takes time and planning, so pay attention to all of the details. Is the wood old or new? Has it previously been stained? How much time do you have to complete the project? Don’t overlook the important step of planning.

Pick the right product: Working with high-quality stain and preparation products will make staining significantly easier. “Pick a product that’s easy to apply and will enrich and enhance the grain of the wood surface,” says Grech.

“Quality stains will prevent mould and mildew growth, and will hide imperfections in the wood. My favourite stain is Arborcoat, which is better for long-term maintenance and is available in a variety of beautiful colours.”

Don’t skip the prep work: Examine and evaluate the design features you want to update. “Look for things like rotted wood, mildew and old stain, all of which will play a factor in how the new stain will adhere,” says Grech. “If you do find any of these, be sure to use an appropriate product to return the wood to service, and always replace rotten wood.”

Once the surface has been properly examined and stripped if necessary, it’s time to wash and sand: • Ideally, wash the surface with a pressure washer as it will remove most surface grime;

• Alternatively, use a commercial deck cleaning product and scrub with a deck brush, being sure to rinse clean; • Allow 48 hours to dry; • Once dry, sand the wood surface to remove any fuzzy grains. Be sure to wipe off the surface.

Choose a colour scheme: A poolside oasis screams colour, so pick shades that are bright and fun. “For the overall surface of a cabana or deck, keep the natural look of the wood by using a semi-transparent stain. Add colour by painting the ceiling inside the cabana in a vivid blue like Blue Lagoon 2054-40 and contrast the deck rails with a dark grey stain like Ashland Slate 1608,” suggests Grech. “Tie it all together with patterned cushions and colourful drinkware, perfect for poolside lounging.”

Richmond Hill athlete named to national snowboard team Megan Farrell was among 63 athletes named by Canada Snowboard to one of their national teams for the 2016-17 campaign.

The 24-year-old Richmond Hill resident was among six competitors named to the Alpine national squad.

This past season was a memorable one for Farrell in her snowboarding career after she finished first overall for the Nor-am Cup Tour and had a first place finish in parallel slalom at the Canadian National Championships in Le Relais.

Canadian riders will be looking to build off an outstanding 2015/2016 season, including multiple World Cup, X Games, FIS Junior World Championships, LAAX Open podiums as well as several NorAM titles.

Preparations for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics are well under way, with several Olympic and Paralympic test events taking place this upcoming season.

Quebec City’s Snowboard Jamboree and the IPC World Championships at Big White will highlight the Canadian calendar alongside both Canadian national championships: Sport Chek Air Nation presented by Burton and Sport Chek Speed Nation.

Taekwondo pair kicks it up a notch

BY MICHAEL HAYAKAWA

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

Just call Justina Li and Brian Lam champions.

In the martial arts discipline of taekwondo poomsae to be precise.

The pair, who train at Stouffville Taekwondo, made their presence felt at the recent 2016 National Taekwondo Poomsae championships in Calgary.

Yu, a 15-year-old Markham resident, claimed top honours in the junior female individual division.

A 15-year-old Richmond Hill resident, Lam accomplished the same feat in the junior male division.

The pair also combined their talents to lay claim to the junior pairs division championship.

The two earned the right to represent Canada at the 10th World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships to be held in Lima, Peru, from Sept. 30 to Oct. 3.

Anything less than a win would have been disappointing, said Yu, a Grade 10 St. Brother Andre Catholic High School student.

Both the young athletes were quick to credit their Stouffville Taekwondo head instructor Master Bhajan Mann.

“I expected to win because my coach always tells me ‘you go there to do your best and win at the same time’. This is a very important mindset to have if someone wants to excel and be successful in competition,” explained Yu. “I always try my best in everything I do and my coach has made sure that

both my physical and mental states were prepared for this competition.

“I went to Nationals trying to beat personal bests and put my new skills and training to the test. I am very happy about winning National and I am honoured to have received the Best Up and Coming Junior Female Poomsae Athlete recognition award. This really tells me that all my hard work has been worthwhile and has paid off.”

A Grade 10 student enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program at Bayview Secondary School, Lam added the two titles he returned home with are a definite confidence booster in his budding martial arts career.

“I previously won these two titles back in 2012,” he said. “Being able to repeat this feat proved to me that all my training and commitment had paid off and is steering me in the right direction for further success.

“As well, my goal of being able to make the national team in both individual and pairs was achieved, so I couldn’t be happier. I am especially proud that my brother, Eric, competing in the cadet age division, also qualified for the national team for the pairs event.”

Working as a tandem since 2011, Yu and Lam were quick to point out a vital ingredient with what success they’ve attained in pairs competition stems from the chemistry they’ve developed through the years.

“We feed off of each other’s energy and motivation,” added Lam. “We’ve been friends for a long time, so it’s really great to compete alongside someone who I have a profound respect for and feel comfortable with.”

Formerly of Peterborough. Passed away on June 17th at Mackenzie Health Regional Hospital in his 90th year.

Beloved husband of Lillian (wed 1948), of the Oak Ridges Retirement Community, formerly of Peterborough. Donald was the son of the late Orril and Marjory Grandy of Omemee and dear brother to Ruth Johnson (Ted) of Toronto. After 41 successful years of employment as a Mechanical Draftsman with the Canadian General Electric Co. in Peterborough, he enjoyed 29 years of happy retirement at the family cottage on Paudash Lake, while volunteering many hours with St. James United Church.

He especially enjoyed working on the sets for the plays performed by the ever-popular St. James Players. He will be dearly missed by his son, Robert Donald William Grandy, his daughter, Karyn Diane Banwell (Eric Bloksma) and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Krysta Gutteridge (Jay), and their children Lillian and Benjamin, Melissa Tilley (Brinley) and their son Reid, and David Banwell (Jenny).

Funeral service will be held at St. James United Church, 221 Romaine Street (at Aylmer Street), Peterborough, Ontario, on Wednesday, June 29th, at 2pm. The Reverend Julie van Haaften will conduct the service. Interment at Little Lake Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations to St. James United Church would be greatly appreciated.
