The Santa Claus Parade marches down Yonge Street Sunday, signaling the start of the holiday season for many. It’s the season for giving, as well, with the Salvation Army kicking off their kettle drive (see page 26) and the Richmond Hill Rotary Auction ready to hit the airwaves Dec. 5 (see page 12).

Local church welcoming two refugee families

By KIM ZARZOUR

*Based on Antonella’s net commission

Aimee Esparaz’s heart broke when her husband showed her the news item on his handheld tablet.

A photograph showed a toddler lying face down as if he were sleeping, sea water gently lapping around the boy’s lifeless face.

As she read the news story about threeyear-old refugee Aylan Kurdi, she was “instantly undone”.

The Pickering mom was not the only one to be “jolted out of obliviousness” by the now iconic photograph.

Her daughter, Alyssa, also saw the picture and wrote a blog that night that pierced her mother’s

heart: “I am so. angrily. horribly. sorry … My soul aches a thousand aches, but I don’t have the answers.”

Esparaz decided she could offer one answer: she and others in her church, Richmond Hill and Yorkdale-based The Meeting House, could take action.

That Sunday, the church was called to action, and Esparaz volunteered to head up a refugee committee.

“What started as an interest from just a handful of people resulted in an outpouring of support that I have never experienced or seen before,” Esparaz said.

Sometime in the next few weeks, the congregation will open doors and hearts to two Syrian

families seeking refuge.

Working with the Mennonite Central Committee, the Richmond Hill and Toronto church volunteers have been connected with two families from Syria, each with two children under five, who are currently waiting in a refugee camp in Beirut.

Esparaz and other members of The Meeting House congregation began fundraising in early September and now have raised more than $70,000, much of it coming from good-hearted donors outside of the church.

One anonymous donor gave a matching pledge of $25,000.

Floyd, Jon, Aluyssa and Aimee Esparaz are ready to welcome refugee families.

‘Walking the walk’ From page 1.

The funds will cover a one-year commitment or until the families become self-sufficient, she said.

Another member of the congregation was a “boat person” who came to Canada in the late 1970s — now a successful and contributing Canadian — and shared his experience, encouraging the volunteers by noting that their efforts will pay off in the long run, especially for the two families’ children.

Esparaz said the group is now waiting for an arrival date. They have been told they will have three weeks notice.

“It’s very exciting and daunting too, since none of us have ever done this before.”

The volunteers are apartment hunting, focusing on the Victoria Park and Lawrence area where there is a large Syrian population.

“We feel like they would feel most at home there and find friends faster.”

Other volunteers are prepared to help chaperone the newcomers around the community, act as interpreters and welcomers.

“People are just so happy to volunteer,” Esparaz said. “With our government bringing in more refugees soon, we are also eager to talk to other people and help them learn from our experience.”

Richmond Hill resident Joel Clement is one of those congregants ready to share his enthusiasm.

If Canadians look back into their own family history, he said, they will find that they, too, came “from away”, to escape hardship.

“The Irish during famine; the Scottish during the mining strikes; Jews fleeing persecution, and many, many more. This is why I think it is a good thing to embrace Syrian refugees. This is why I think my church is not only doing a good thing, but setting a good example,” said Clement. “We are walking the walk, not just talking the talk.”

“It’s a natural human reaction to want to do something,” added Melissa Ytsma, pastor of the 130member Richmond Hill site at Hwy. 7 and Yonge.

“It’s not just watching the news, but reaching out.

I think this is a beautiful response from our community to want to engage in the crisis, to offer our love and support another family.”

Two new businesses in downtown Richmond Hill could soon be up in smoke.

York Regional Police are investigating recently opened storefronts on Yonge Street that appear to be dispensing medical marijuana.

What started out as one store — with a street sign “Cannibliss” — has sprouted into two, both targeting the growing demand for marijuana.

Local Councillor Tom Muench said the store owners report business is booming.

“They’ve tripled in size in the last few weeks; they’re growing exponentially.”

Not so fast, York police say.

“There’s no such thing as a medical marijuana dispensary licence,” said Detective Sergeant Peter Casey of the drug and vice unit.

YRP is concerned any premise may be distributing controlled substances that is not authorized by law, he said. “At this time, police are aware there are one or more of these premises operating in the Richmond Hill area. We are gathering all the facts before acting.”

The facts, however, may be confusing.

The first storefront, which called itself Cannibliss, opened several weeks ago at Yonge and

Centre streets — a slickly decorated shop with quiet music and glass cases displaying small packages and bottles.

On a recent day, a young male customer discussed product with a staff person while another leafed through pages at a table. Three men waited on clients, but did not provide information to The Liberal about the business, promising instead to respond “soon” to questions.

The website, Cannibliss. com, offered a selection of marijuana-based products, but that site disappeared from the web briefly, reappearing again in recent days to announce the store would be “opening soon”.

The original store appears now to be operating under the name CannaClubs by Sativa & Kush. The website says it the GTA’S premiere dispensary, open seven days a week.

A menu lists a variety of products by weight, capsules, drinks, oils and edibles including Carmel Fudge, Triple Toffee Explosion, white chocolate oatmeal cranberry and infused chips in salt n vinegar.

Meanwhile, at a shop nearby, construction is underway on a new Cannibliss store.

Benny Bisogno, Cannibliss director, said his shop will open soon, offering “medical access to medicinal marijuana”.

SANTA COMES TO TOWN

One of two marijuana stores on Yonge Street is called Cannibliss.

Pot stores sprout up in downtown

Once he has ensured a customer’s prescription from a doctor is “legit and not expired ... then we validate access to the club. We provide them ways to ingest and smoke their medication” with different strains, edibles and tinctures plus topical creams for skin conditions.

He would not say where his store gets the marijuana.

Bisogno said he has been smoking pot for 10 years.

“I had a bad motorcycle accident. I was in such pain and the doctors wanted me to take Oxycodene and Percocet and I kept refusing.”

Marijuana helped, he said.

“Opiates and codeines are not the way to go.”

He wants to share his knowledge to help others, gleaned from the news and Internet.

Having two stores next door

to each other is not a problem, he says — “There’s enough business for the both of us.”

The two Richmond Hill stores are the only ones YRP is aware of “but we wouldn’t be surprised to find out there are others”, said Det. Sergeant Casey, adding, “there are no provisions for these premises to be distributing medical marijuana under Health Canada rules.

“There are laws and regulations in place. If people were able to open without a licence ... and we don’t know where the product is coming from, then anyone could do it.”

Casey said he hopes to work with the store owners to find a solution.

“Ultimately we don’t want to use firm enforcement; we want to educate them on what the law is.”

Santa arrived Sunday to the music of marching bands such as Beverley Acres P. S., and enjoyment of spectators Daniel Langdon, Jackie Watts, Michael Oostveen and Holly Scott. Liberal ‘elves’ (below) collected food items for the food bank.

COLUMN

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

I’m Mrs. Jellyby, welcome!

Refugee coverage ‘misleading, evasive’

I was an English major at university, meaning I got to read novels by Charles Dickens not everyone gets to (or should I say, is forced to) read.

At university, you may stay out late drinking beer with your pals, meaning when reading long Victorian novels the next day, your eyelids tend to ... feel ... zzzzz.

But eventually I did get through Dickens’ Bleak House, which contained a character I will never forget, as she reminded me of people I used to encounter at university, have run into since or see in the mirror.

Mrs. Jellyby, she was called, was very worried about the fate of people in Africa and proclaimed it loudly, but was not overly concerned about her own family, living under the same roof as she.

Her youngest child has his head stuck between stair railings when we are introduced to him.

She is oblivious, hard at work on her charity mission.

In some ways I see a small army of Mrs. Jellybys has emerged from among us as Canadians — spending a lot of money to help a tiny fraction of the people in desperate need to show the world how great we are, a “moral superpower”, a term I heard recently for the first time and which seems to apply here, while showing the newcomers how to adapt to our great way of life.

Here’s a tuque. Here’s a hockey stick. This is Tims. Enjoy.

To bring 25,000 newcomers from one part of the world is practically nothing in a country of 33 million. The previous 10,000 commitment was a drop in the bucket. The new government has out duelled their adversaries by upping it to two and a half drops.

There are millions of refugees living in camps in Turkey and Jordan who’ve been there for years.

There are millions of refugees in camps in Africa, too, from other conflicts, droughts, famines.

Clearly we can’t help them all by bringing them here, without more of a sacrifice on our part.

To me, what we’re doing now is largely symbolic, feel good, and political.

Could we do more good for more people by simply sending our billions to where they can help more people in the camps

Bernie O’Neill and doing more on the world stage to end conflicts? Most likely — if we felt we could trust our money actually got to the people who needed it.

At the same time, we should be trying to find solutions, as former prime minister Lester Pearson did during the Suez Crisis.

Meanwhile, we label anyone who might disagree with the haste with which we implement our plan, in the wake of a horrible terrorist attack, “a racist”, which is the double-barrelled put-down of all put-downs.

Now that the Trudeau government has even admitted the deadline is too tight, that security is a priority (though I’m pretty sure it needs to be THE priority) let us hope the word racist will stop being thrown about so freely and we can get people here in a safe, orderly fashion.

While it is wonderful to see people mobilizing to help refugees, you wonder about others who need help.

There are lots of people, old, poor, sick, disabled, who face mighty struggles here already.

Unfortunately for them, it is not as glamorous or supportive of a political cause to give them a hand. Some of us do, but plenty of us don’t lift a finger. Something for all of us Mrs. Jellybys to consider, myself included.

I was raised in the Catholic church (where a frequent sermon was that charity should be anonymous) but don’t go to church now, as I’ve long felt organized religion, of all kinds, is about dividing people, “moral superiority” etc.

Perhaps if there were less religion in the world there would be fewer people seeking refuge from its practitioners.

Let’s help the refugees. And let’s tone down the talk of our moral superiority for doing it.

Re: ‘Not moved by fear,’ say refugee aid groups by Lisa Queen and, Do we close our doors in the face of terror, column by Marney Beck, Nov. 19.

Raza Kara’s letter — No belief or cause justifies Paris attacks — provided an intelligent, tolerant and realistic counterpoint to The Liberal’s Nov. 19 coverage of refugee issues.

Your coverage was misleading, tendentious and evasive.

Reporter Lisa Queen may have been misled by her source, Susan McGrath, who told her most Syrian refugees are women and children. But the current migrant issue is not with Syrians displaced by war, who are mostly stuck there and would benefit more if the Western powers established protected zones, but with the stream of migrants entering southern Europe.

They are about two-thirds adult males (UN High Commission for Refugees statistics I have seen range from 62 per cent to 78 per cent).

Aylan Kurdi, whose death Ms Queen’s source, Rev. Joan Masterton, says pushed the migrant issue forward, had been living in Turkey, not Syria, before his parents attempted the sea voyage that killed him.

Moreover, a significant number — probably over a quarter — of migrants in Europe are from Central Asia or the Horn of Africa, not Syria. And if you’re in Syria, and simply trying to get away from the slaughter, you don’t have to go all the way to Germany, or Canada, to do it.

Painting the migrants as fleeing their war-torn homeland is misleading and a bottom-drawer cliché.

Marney Beck misrepresents Premier Brad Wall of Saskatchewan as “fanning the flames against all Muslims”. He did no such thing; he was simply skeptical about fast-track admission of refugees. Her assertion that the

Paris attackers were largely French neglects to point out the apparent ringleader, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, had been deported and then reentered Europe possibly posing as a refugee.

Ms Queen says the attackers were Belgian, yet some media reports say three terrorists passed through Greece before the attacks.

As for the news story’s premise that “fear” is what motivates those advising caution about the current crop of migrants, prudence, wisdom and a need for solid evidence are not fear.

Fear is a taunt, not an argument; take it to the playground where it belongs.

James B. Whyte Oak Ridges

We should not fear refugees Re: Do we close our doors in the face of terror, or open them? column by Marney Beck, Nov. 19.

Ms Beck’s column hit the nail square on the head in regards to the refugee crisis in Syria.

Those seeking to escape the country are not the ones who are the extremists, and keeping them in Syria is just what the terrorists want, so they can be radicalized into ISIS, or worse.

It is disappointing to hear that so many here are igno-

SEND A LETTER: Email letters to mbeck@yrmg.com JOIN CONVERSATION: Be the first to comment at yorkregion.com rant of this.

To play the devil’s advocate, in Saskatchewan where about 0.2 per cent of the population is a visible minority from the Middle East, according to Statistics Canada, perhaps one could understand some of their concern.

But in the multicultural GTA, we should know that virtually all Muslims are not terrorists.

But to put any concerns to rest, it should also be noted that the tragedy which happened in Paris likely could have been avoided if French intelligence did their job properly.

Besides the thorough screening of refugees our government is conducting, CSIS has proven its ability to stop terror plots in the past.

Ultimately, one likely has a better chance of getting struck by lightning while checking their $50 million lottery ticket, than dying in a terrorist attack from a Syrian refugee.

public transit, and locally, has supported projects such as construction of the Gormley GO Station, and more parking at the King GO station.

Another priority of mine is local democracy. In 2013, I introduced a Private Member’s Bill that would amend the Ontario Municipal Act to make the position of York Regional Chair elected.

Unfortunately, it did not get passed before the election. It was re-introduced by my colleague, MPP Chris Ballard, in 2014 as Bill 42.

Considering the size and scope of York Region, regional chair is a position that holds a tremendous amount of influence over how residents receive services. The responsibilities of the regional chair-

person have dramatically increased as York has grown.

It was a purely administrative role, but no longer. Today, it is responsible for large budgets and critical decisions that affect the lives of more than 1 million people.

I was delighted when, earlier this month, the majority of Markham, Stouffville and Aurora councils agreed the position should be elected, by voting to support Bill 42.

Markham Regional Councillor Joe Li brought a motion, seconded by Stouffville Mayor Justin Altman on Nov. 19 that asked council to support the direct election of the York regional chair.

It was a bit disappointing to learn council voted to defer its vote on this motion; however, I would urge you to contact your local member of regional council to learn more about this important issue.

This Saturday, Nov. 28, I will be participating in the annual Markham Santa Claus Parade. This is one of my favourite events of the year and I hope to see many of you there. As the holidays approach, please stay safe and enjoy the season.

Oak Ridges-Markham is growing. I was pleased to announce in November two new schools will be built to accommodate this growth.

An elementary school will be built in the southeast portion of Stouffville at Yakefarm Boulevard and Raxlin Street.

It will have room for 600 students from kindergarten to Grade 8 and will include a state of the art facility for fullday kindergarten.

In Richmond Hill, Conseil scolaire Viamonde school board will be receiving funding for a brand new school.

Académie de la Moraine will have room for over 250 students, as well as 50 daycare spaces for children 18 months to age four. The total investment made by the province for these projects is more than $16 million.

I’m proud to be part of a government that believes investments in transit can both grow the economy and improve quality of life. I’m happy to announce York Region will receive more than $15 million from the Gas Tax program this year. This brings its 12-year funding to $146 million. Funds help improve and expand much-needed

A 22-year-old man from Vancouver has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with a double homicide in Richmond Hill almost two years ago, York Regional Police said.

The suspect was arrested in Vancouver Nov. 18 on a Canadawide warrant and was to appear in Newmarket court Friday.

On Jan. 8, 2014, shortly after midnight, police responded to reports of gunshots at 172 Centre St. E., at a cooperative housing complex.

When they arrived, officers discovered two males and a teenage girl suffering from gunshot wounds in a vehicle in the parking lot.

The girl, 16-year-old Brenda Pathammavong, of Brampton, was declared dead at the scene.

Alleged impaired driver calls police from stranded car, then is arrested A 27-year-old man from Richmond Hill faces impaired-related charges after York Regional Police received a call from him requesting assistance to get his vehicle started.

Early this morning, Tuesday, at about 2:30 a.m., York police received a non-emergency call from a man asking for help to get his car started. He was able to tell the call taker that he was in the area of Bathurst Street and King Road in King Township.

The call taker could hear the engine revving in the background, as the driver attempted to get his vehicle moving.

Officers located the car stopped on the shoulder of King Road just east of Bathurst Street. The car was running, with the lights and windshield wipers on.

They spoke to the driver who was showing obvious signs of being impaired by alcohol.

The male victims were taken to hospital, but 18-year-old Premier Hoang died.

The second male survived.

Kevin Khang Pham, of Vancouver, is facing two charges of first-degree murder.

A second suspect, Timothy Doug-Hyun Lee, 24, of Mississauga, was arrested in May and has been charged with attempted murder.

He is slated to appear in Newmarket court on Dec. 9.

The driver was arrested and taken to 4 district headquarters for a breath test, where he blew over the legal limit of alcohol.

Andrew Scuglia of Richmond Hill faces a charge of impaired care or control, and over 80 care or control.

Impaired care or control is a criminal offense, for which a person can be charged if they are impaired by drugs or alcohol and make attempts to operate a vehicle. The vehicle does not need to be moving for the charge to be laid.

York Police encourage everyone to call 9-1-1 if they believe a motorist is impaired by drugs or alcohol. Police will respond immediately, as such calls are considered crimes in progress.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call police at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7441, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-tips.

Despite resident concerns, twinned arena approved at Ed Sackfield

town to reconsider plans to “twin” a new arena with the existing Ed Sackfield facility.

The new arena would include an indoor walking track, recreation programs and meeting room space, with construction to be completed by 2018.

Several residents appeared as delegations at town hall to express their concerns about the project’s impact on traffic, parking and loss of open parkland.

By KIM ZARZOUR

kzarzour@yrmg.com

A second arena will soon be built in David Hamilton Park, despite passionate pleas from neighbouring residents to locate the rink somewhere else.

Residents of nearby Doncrest community submitted a petition with several hundred names to council Monday night, asking the

CELEBRATING OUR 40TH YEAR IN BUSINESS

“This is about green space being reduced,” said resident Sairam Pogulu, noting there are two schools in close proximity and traffic congestion in the area.

“Parking needs will multiply,” added his son, Sridhar, 12. “Richmond Hill, my home, I love because we are rich in greenery ... This proposed project will change that. We have seen lots of condos come up, but the green space is not proportionately increasing.”

Other residents expressed the opinion that the arena was under-utilized and complained that they were not given adequate notice to provide feedback.

SPORTS GROUPS VOICED SUPPORT Representatives of user groups, such as the Richmond Hill Hockey Association and Central York Girls Hockey Association, voiced support for the new arena, saying they struggle to find available ice time in local rinks.

Ward 6 Councillor Godwin Chan attempted to have the staff report sent back for further information, including parking requirements, but after staff provided statistics and studies showing the project would have minimal impact, a majority of councillors defeated his motion and the $13.5-million item was placed in the 2016 capital budget.

A traffic consultant retained as part of the David Hamilton park master plan assessment found that most traffic occurs as a result of pick-up and drop-off for the local schools, while the arena traffic is about one-third the level of the school traffic and is busiest later in the evening, Dan Terzievski, the town’s direc-

tor of development engineering, said.

Parking analysis for the park and Ed Sackfield arena showed peak parking demand was 100 spaces and there are 261 spaces available. Other arenas throughout town and in other cities require about 70 to 85 spaces.

“What we have is more than sufficient,” Terzievski said.

The staff report noted there is high demand for additional ice pads in Richmond Hill, with town facilities operating at 95 per cent capacity.

Building a new ice pad twinned with an existing arena is more cost effective and makes use of available land, the report said.

“This has been an emotional issue,” said Regional Councillor Vito Spatafora, “but it’s a good plan. David Hamilton is a community park, not a neighbourhood park ... and there are community parks throughout Richmond Hill that all of us enjoy.

“Our role as council members is to make difficult decisions in the best interest of the community at large. Sometimes we won’t be popular with the decisions.”

Ward 4 Councillor David West noted that other town amenities and activities, such as the Mill Pond concerts, impact local residents with increased parking and traffic, but benefit the community as a whole.

“It’s clear from the statistics that ... in the very near future we are going to be short of ice and that means there will be kids who can’t play hockey.”

The kids are soon off school, family and work obligations are competing for your time, and the items on your to-do list are growing by the minute. So, while we might want to be singing, “‘tis the season to be jolly,” what we might be better off singing is, “‘tis the season to stay organized!”

Beat the burnout this season, with these five tips for managing your time, conquering your to-do list, and remaining stress-free this year: 1.

Free Children’s Fair offered at library

Markham pianist in spotlight in local concerts

Children and parents are invited to the very first Children’s Fair, hosted by Richmond Hill Public Library and Kids’ CBC this Friday, Nov. 27.

Fun-filled events are planned at the Central Library branch from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., featuring authors, storytellers, a puppet show and plenty of other family-friendly activities.

There’s Ductigamy for Tweens, for ages 9 to 12, teaching how to make a pencil case, bookmarks and even roses with duct tape.

Book and Bookie with York Region Early Literacy Specialist, Jill Javelosa Alvarez, is an interactive workshop for babies and children up to age 6, that brings books to life through music and movement.

York Symphony showcases musical genius For its next pair of concerts, this Saturday and Sunday, the York Symphony Orchestra will celebrate Classical Genius, featuring works by composers whose outstanding talent revealed itself early in life, and whose legacy remains undiminished today.

Helping to spotlight the genius of youth in the Aurora and Richmond Hill concerts is soloist Anson Hui, a young Canadian piano prodigy himself.

At the age of just 11, Anson Hui performed to great acclaim at Carnegie Hall in New York City after winning the American Protégé International String and Piano Competition in 2010.

Now 16, the Markham musician is a seasoned concert performer and prize winner. Among his honours are the Most Outstanding Talent Award at the Richmond Hill Music Festival, the Best of Bach Trophy at the Music Scarborough Piano Competition, and Most Promising Trophy at the Canadian CCC Music Festival.

The young pianist will play Mozart’s Piano Concerto #20, a later work, as Mozart was all of 29 when he composed it, but one that Hui plays with a maturity that one New York critic called “preternaturally profound.”

Also on the program is Rossini’s overture

to An Italian Girl in Algiers. The 21-year old Rossini had already composed 10 operas when this one premiered. Many more would follow and several are still performed regularly today around the world. Some of the overtures, like this one, have become favourites of the concert repertoire.

To round out the program, music director Denis Mastromonaco has chosen a remarkable work by the 17-year old Georges Bizet, his Symphony in C. That young student composer, whose theatre music would later earn him fame, never intended for this enchanting gem of melody and light to be performed, but when George Balanchine choreographed it for the ballet in the 1940s, it became an instant hit, and it remains today one of the most popular pieces in the classical style.

The double concerts are set for Saturday, Nov. 28 at 8 p.m. at Trinity Anglican Church in Aurora, and Sunday, Nov. 29 at 3 p.m. at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts.

Tickets for Nov. 28 Aurora concert may be purchased by calling 416-410-0860; for the Nov. 29 concert, call the Richmond Hill theatre box office at 905-787-8811 or go online to rhcentre.ca.

Tickets will also be available at the door of both venues.

Parents can attend one of several parenting workshops on autism and depression and anxiety in children.

The Kids’ CBC video team will capture all the fun to feature on YouTube and on air.

Kettle drive kicks off for season Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Barrow made the first official donation Friday to launch the annual Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign.

Barrow helped kick start the seasonal campaign at Hillcrest Mall, marking the 11th year for the organization that seeks donations for the needy.

Over the next few weeks, you will spot the iconic red kettle in more than 20 locations across Richmond

Hill, Oak Ridges, Vaughan and Maple.

It’s the largest fundraising drive of the year for the Richmond Hill Salvation Army and this year, the group hopes to raise $175,000 for those who are living in poverty in the community.

The Salvation Army is an international Christian organization that, since it began in Canada in 1882, has grown to become one of the largest direct provid-

ers of social services in the country, providing support to vulnerable people in 400 communities across the country and 127 countries around the world.

That includes providing the basic necessities of life to individuals and families, shelter for homeless people and rehabilitation to those battling addiction.

The Salvation Army relies on support from business partners and retailers who allow Christmas kettles to be placed at their stores each year and depends on the hundreds of kettle workers who volunteer their time across Richmond Hill and Vaughan.

- Kim Zarzour

GOOD TO KNOW

Mayor Dave Barrow (red jacket) helps officials from the Salvation Army kick off the kettle drive with Captain David Bond (from left), Hillcrest Mall GM Brian Marentette, Capt. Nyree Bond and CarolAnn Gardner.

Many kettle volunteers are still needed. If you can give some of your time to ring the bells on kettles, you can apply at the Ministry Centre at 55 Newkirk Rd., Richmond Hill, or by calling 905-737-0496.

This tap group heads to Germany this month, (back row, left to right): Ella Quinn, Olivia Aspen, Christian Catalano, Shamus Quinn, Samantha Rutherford and Stephanie Godfrey, (centre) teacher and choreographer Theresa Domingues and (front row): Abriana Themelkos and Victoria Cappiello.

Dancers from across Canada audition for a spot on these teams. The World Championships are the only official dance championships under the umbrella of the World Dance Council. The competitions will see dancers from 90 countries showing their skills in this Olympicstyle international contest.

Competing in tap in Germany are Olivia Aspden, Ella and Shamus Quinn and Samantha Rutherford of Aurora, along with Richmond Hill

SPORTS AND RECREATION

U-16B Lightning strike ringette gold in Nepean The Richmond Hill Lightning under-16B Thompson team skated off with the gold medal from the Nepean Tournament by defeating Gloucester-Cumberland 4-0 in the championship final last weekend.

Missing the services of a couple of key players in Katherine Hamilton and Rachel Angaran due to injuries and employing the services of an underage goaltender from Gloucester-Cumberland, the Lightning lost their first game 5-3 against the Gloucester-Cumberland under-16 team, but rebounded to win the remainder of their games and earn a berth in the final where they received a stellar netminding effort from 12-year-old Gillian Howell, who recorded the shutout.

The Lightning’s Amy Thompson finished atop the scoring leader board with Serena Perera finishing fourth, Alessandra Tuzi seventh, and Vivian Araujo ninth.

Also playing in Nepean were the Lightning under14AA-West team and the under-16AA-Sarjeant team.

The under-14AA team were unable to advance from round robin play.

U-16AA ADVANCE TO SEMIS However, the under-16AA team finished fourth overall in their division and advanced to a semifinal matchup with first place and eventual gold medalists, New Brunswick.

In the semifinal, the lead changed hands several times with the Lightning taking a 7-6 lead with 1:36 remaining in regulation time.

But New Brunswick tied the score 22 seconds later and then sealed their place in the final when they scored with 48 seconds remaining.

In other ringette action, the under-nine-Price team got a 6-4 road win in Oshawa before coming home and playing Newmarket to a 4-4 draw.

The under-10-Ianni/Weaver team downed the Newmarket Rays 7-4 with centre Sophia Laliberte potting four goals, and Hannah Weaver netting two. Mia Leroux rounded out the scoring.

U-12 HARLING WIN TWO The under-12-Harling team won both of their weekend games with identical 8-1 scores against Caledonia and Sunderland.

The under-12-McKnight team also won both of their weekend games when they got past Mississauga 5-2 before routing Caledonia 8-1. Sydney Nobes held the hot hand netting four goals in the victory over Caledonia.

The under-12P-Ianni team skated to a 3-3 tie with Whitby, with Camilla Kernohan netting a pair of goals and Caden Lee potting the other.

U-14B MEWS SPLIT GAMES The under-14B-Mews team had a strong outing in the first of two weekend games skating to a 3-2 victory over the visiting Oshawa Storm. Kaitlin Han led the way with a pair of goals, with Madeline Angaran providing the game winner.

Lightning goalkeeper Emma Di Pietro turned away a number of Oshawa opportunities to secure the win.

Rising early for a Sunday tilt with the Newmarket Rays, the Lightning trailed 4-0 before the game was 10 minutes old, and eventually fell 5-2.

The under-16A-Roman team got past Mississauga 3-1, while the Open-A Lightning topped the Brock Badgers 4-1 For more scores and upcoming schedules, visit www. rhringette.com - Michael Hayakawa

Holly’s young life ended far too soon

By Chris TraBer

C

ctraber@yrmg.com

arol McGruthers is testament to a mother’s boundless love for a child. Her late daughter, Holly, was a monument to perseverance.

Challenged from birth by the rigours of arteriovenous malformation, known as AVM, Holly passed away Aug. 4, 2005, 12:20 p.m.

Carol’s reminiscence of her daughter’s 33 years of life is as precise as it is poignant.

On the 10th anniversary of Holly’s death, Carol still grieves. Time hasn’t healed the wounds. Her pain is palpable, the tears unbridled. The melancholy milestone is an opportunity to pay tribute to a remarkable child, Carol said.

It is also a welcome occasion to publically acknowledge the many people who heartened, encouraged and inspirited Holly along her difficult way.

Holly’s 43rd birthday would have been Nov. 30. Carol harkens back to that date in 1972, 12:17 p.m.

“Right away, we knew something was very wrong,” she said haltingly. Doctors diagnosed the girl with AVM, a tangle of abnormal blood vessels connecting arteries and veins. It can develop randomly in the body. In Holly’s case it was in the neck and head, causing aneurisms.

Lstories ife

Before age six, Holly had seen 25 specialists and endured many procedures. The illness limited her sight and hearing.

“Holly was a quiet, loving and sharing person of faith,” Carol said. “Most doctors didn’t think she’d live to age five. Her faith was really strong.”

Carol credits her family’s support and that of a network of professionals, friends, neighbours and even strangers for helping Holly at every fragile stage.

“Nurses, doctors, physicians’ wives and secretaries did special things for her,” she said. “They would invite Holly to the hospital for a gift from Santa Claus. Firefighters and paramedics came to save Holly’s life several times.”

Newmarket-born Carol and her family, including husband Percy and son Tim, settled in River Drive Park near Holland Landing.

Holly enjoyed the waterfront and parks, exploring on her bike and scooter.

“Everyone knew Holly,” her mother said. “The neighbour kids watched out for her, protected her.”

Neighbour Sam Reid, keyboardist for rock band Glass Tiger, dropped by and gifted Holly with the group’s album and autographed photos.

“Holly had a community of extended family and friends who cared for her in many ways,” Carol said. “They are all special people.”

Holly attended Jersey Public School in Keswick and Langstaff High School in Richmond Hill. She delighted in reading and making muffins to share with classmates and teachers. The teen was proud to be in her self-described “differently abled” class.

Carol speaks solemnly about her daughter’s last years, recalling how fellow members of Queensville-Holland Landing United Church reached out with prayers and gifts. She lauds the care Holly received at her Sutton hospice.

“Holly’s life was hard with many limitations,” she said. “She perservered and found bright spots and good times in the little things. It was a pleasure to look

Life ended at Southlake Regional Health Centre where it began.
