WHO WILL RAISE YOUR CHILDREN IF TRAGEDY STRIKES? The Wills Lawyer The following story is from the book “Where There’s An Inheritance”, written by Les Kotzer and Barry Fish. Rebecca and Kevin had two children aged six and eight at the time they made their wills. They decided to name Rebecca’s sister, Pamela and her husband, Herb, as guardians of their children. Rebecca and Kevin trusted Pamela and Herb to the ends of the earth. Less than a year after making their wills and appointing Pamela and Herb as their guardians, an accident claimed the lives of both Rebecca and Kevin. The provisions of their wills now meant that Pamela and Michelle Kotzer Herb were to be guardians of the two young children. As devastating as the loss of their parents was for these two children, there was even more bad news in store for them. A few months after the two children had settled in to live with Pamela and Herb, Pamela caught Herb having an extramarital affair. Now a nasty divorce was placing the children of Rebecca and Kevin right in the heat of the battle between their aunt and their uncle. Herb unexpectedly raised the stakes in his negotiations with Pamela by claiming custody of Rebecca and Kevin’s children. The fight was bitter. Pamela and Herb had no children of their own, and Pamela accused Herb of using his young niece and nephew as pawns in his battle to extort a better settlement from her. For months, the children seemed to be at risk of having to move out from their aunt Pamela’s home. Pamela ultimately obtained custody of her niece and nephew, but the divorce was both expensive and stressful. If only Rebecca and Kevin had named Pamela as sole guardian, and had not mentioned Herb, Pamela’s little niece and nephew would have been spared a great deal of the pain and suffering they had to endure. To Pamela, it was clear that, if her sister Rebecca could have seen how Herb had abused her trust, and used her two young children as pawns, she would have been horrified. In my wills practice, I see many couples with young children. The discussion of who to appoint as guardian in case both spouses are killed in an accident, is a difficult one. As I once mentioned in a previous article, I do not know how parents with young children can sleep at night without a will appointing a guardian. The person you appoint as guardian will raise your children until they reach the age of 18. Deciding who to appoint as guardian of your children if you pass away is a difficult task, and you should give great thought as to who you are appointing. As the story above illustrates, if for example, you are appointing your sister as guardian, it may be prudent to only appoint her and not her husband. Alternatively, if you are appointing your brother, the same thinking applies. Moreover, some people name the same person as both executor and guardian in their wills. This combination could lead to a potential conflict of interest. It may be prudent to appoint a different guardian than executor in your will. By separating your guardian from your executor, you are establishing checks and balances within the administration of your estate. It is important to remember that the guardian you have named in your will may not accept his or her appointment as guardian once you have passed away. It is important to tell your proposed guardian of your intention to appoint him or her in your will. You should also consider appointing a back-up guardian in the event your primary guardian does not accept the appointment when you pass away. I am a wills lawyer with the firm of Fish and Associates, 7951 Yonge Street, Thornhill (Yonge and Royal Orchard). We are located in a turn of the century home with plenty of free parking. The atmosphere is relaxed and we speak in plain language. If you wish to make a will appointment please give me a call or send me an email. I would also be pleased to review your existing will for free to make sure that it is not a recipe for a family nightmare. I also offer free will consultations, if you do not have a will and do not know where to start. Michelle can be reached at 905-881-1500 Ext. 22 or mkotzer@fishlaw.ca.

Why I won’t be there for the fireworks Rebeka Tabobondung Indigenkaus (my name is) Wasausking Ndonjaba (I come from) Amik Dodem (I am Beaver clan) This simple statement took me 40 years to learn. This is who I am — but I had to fight like hell to figure it out. I grew up in over 13 towns and cities across the country and experienced the public education system and its imagined Canadian identity in every one of those places. Yep — I learned the propaganda that every Canadian my age learned: We are a nation built on universal values of democracy, human rights and environmentalism intimately connected through a "mosaic" of diversity, a northern climate and pristine landscape. Let’s get real … all Canadians must question the legitimacy of these "imaginary" claims due to the historical hatred directed toward the First Peoples of this land and the ongoing lack of awareness, education, and movement building toward reconciliation and the forging of reciprocal relationships based on equality and respect. Just today I was on Facebook calling for the resignation of Sen. Lynn Beyak, who said earlier this year that "good deeds" and "remarkable works" on the part of well-meaning residential school officials have been ignored in favour of more negative reports by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Just yesterday I was donating mon-

ey to the GoFundMe campaign initiated by the relatives of Barbara Kentner, an indigenous woman living in Thunder Bay who was the victim of a drive-by assault in January 2017 by a white man who shouted, “I got one,” after throwing a very large trailer hitch at her body from a moving vehicle. My challenge is to answer the call of one of Canada’s most worthy senators, the former chief commissioner of the Truth and Reconciliation Committee who, in response to Beyak’s statements during a public forum in Ottawa on missing and murdered indigenous women, asked Canadians: “Why can’t you always remember this?" He was referring to the deliberate amnesia that Canadians have when they ‘imagine’ who they are. “Why can’t we remember and honour the truth of our nation ... this is about memorializing those people who have been the victims of a great wrong." I’m remembering who and what Canada actually is … and therefore I’m imagining what we could become. A confederation that chooses not to forget its past - but rather memorializes it in order to imagine and build something better. How about Kanata 150? Acknowledging the rich history already embedded deep in the land that includes the principle that rights, equity and respect should belong to all.

A day in the life - Being indigenous today

In this year of Truth and Reconciliation, this 150th year of Confederation, we talked with a few descendants of the original residents of Canada (Kanata) to ask: "What does it mean to be an indigenous person in Ontario today?" (Top left) Bill Trodd and Crystal Tabobandung read a story their grandchildren just before dinner in their Magnetawan First Nation home. The two youngest of the blended family’s children read and finish after school chores. (Top right) The opening leg of the First Nation Water Walk around Lake Simcoe raises awareness of the importance of fresh water. Patricia Watts of Wabigoon Lake First Nation has the honour of collecting the water to be carried on their journey. (Middle) Blayne McLeod moved to Toronto to pursue a dream career in the arts. Raised in Bigstone Cree Nation reserve in Wabasca, Alta., the 26-year-old relocated to Toronto three years ago and joined the Centre for Indigenous Theatre. (Bottom) Award-winning actor/producer Jennifer Podemski is currently in production of Future History (APTN), a documentary series about indigenous knowledge and history.

ABOUT US

We won’t be intimidated A group of disgruntled city councillors in Brampton seem to be confusing freedom of the press with freedom from the press. Angry with recent coverage by the local newspaper, some councillors are proposing a motion to scrutinize the media’s questioning of elected officials. It’s a thinly veiled attempt to intimidate reporters. The motion calls for all media inquiries to be posted on the city website along with responses. Councillors want future meeting agendas to include time to respond to media coverage. Meanwhile, at least one member of Brampton council has taken to Twitter, suggesting the local paper isn’t providing "real news." If it sounds reminiscent of the antics of President Donald Trump and his staff, that’s because there’s a strong and troubling parallel. This is all in reaction to assertive reporting that is critical of the city’s leadership. Councillors say they have put the press on notice. Such a statement demonstrates a blatant disregard for, or ignorance of, the checks and balances already strongly entrenched in the Canadian media system. Accountability starts with the news outlet itself. Complaints can be made directly to a journalist, editor, or publisher. If the response is unsatisfactory, individuals can contact the press council. The National NewsMedia Council deals with matters concerning fairness of coverage, relevance, balance and accuracy. Its members (including this newspaper) abide by its decisions. It’s a free and open process for the public. When media make a mistake, we own it very publicly. That’s not something everyone can say. And there is the law. Canada has very strict libel laws. These laws protect the reputation of individuals and organizations from false and derogatory remarks. Media are bound by these laws. There have been no formal complaints made regarding recent coverage of Brampton. Instead, this is about a group of councillors lashing out because they are upset with what strong local reporting has unearthed. These councillors forget that media are not accountable to elected officials. Media are accountable to the public, the same group whose money these councillors are spending. Claiming to put the press on notice is a poorly disguised attack on the fundamental freedoms laid out in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Councillors are trying to stifle critical voices and control our free, independent and responsible media. Any attempt by elected officials to limit the free flow of information is an attack on the basic democratic principles our society upholds. It won’t work. Metroland Media and all its newsrooms will continue to hold our elected officials to account and report stories that are in the best interest of our readers.

• LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Save lives and generate revenue Ever stop at a traffic light and count the number of traffic violations? Try it, and you’ll find out that there are numerous violations in the short period of time that you are there. Not stopping at the red light when making a righthand turn is obviously the most common violation (not the only one), and one that is extremely dangerous for pedestrians. If there were red light cameras at all intersections just think how much money could be raised, especially if the fines were raised to a point that they would have an effect. Let’s say $250 would be the minimum. When you consider that each set of

traffic lights changes over 1400 times a day, just think of the revenue that could be generated. Red light cameras could be paid for very quickly right across the region. And that is only one part of a program that should be initiated. Let’s get our police constables back to what they should be doing at their salaries. What we really need are a fleet of special Traffic Control Vehicles ... hightech cars with cameras, computers, and credit card processing. They would be manned by personnel trained for the job to enforce traffic laws and ticket drivers for the numerous violations committed thousands of times every day. All tickets would have to be paid on the spot by debit

or credit card or cash. If payment is not made, the car ticketed would be towed. It would be up to the ticketed driver to go to court if he or she had a complaint. With all of the high-tech equipment, the fines really should not be disputed. The amount of revenue lost by non-enforcement of the laws is enormous. And consider the cost saving by having a TCV parked at a construction site rather than a police car and a constable. Not only would such programs reduce pedestrian and vehicular accidents, but it would generate revenue and allow police to spend their time more effectively reducing crime in other areas. Donald Flynn Markham

Please help keep city clean The residents of our City of Markham should exercise some curb appeal in our streets. Very often, our taxpaying residents dump their garbage on the curb weeks before the pickup. The summer is nearly here and residents should use common sense in not dumping old toilets and mattress before the pickup date. The mayor’s request to keep Markham beautiful does not appeal to the few that makes our city dirty. The only alternative is to impose a fine for those keep their unsightly garbage on the curb before the pickup date. Thank you. Kingsley George Markham

York U faculty hosts talk on Italian food culture ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS amartinrobbins@yrmg.com York University’s Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies is inviting the community to engage in a conversation about Italian food culture in Canada. The conversation, moderated by professor Roberta Iannacito-Provenzano, takes place Thursday June 15, 2017 from 7 to 9 p.m. at city hall, 2141 Major Mackenzie Dr. The event focuses on "shifting traditions and new experiences regarding Italian food experiences in the G.T.A." including notions of authenticity, Italian-Canadian restaurants, home cooking, new recipes, keeping old traditions alive, fusion cooking, the slow food movement and more. The event is part of initiative launched by the faculty to encourage dialogue and discussions on topics of keen interest to members of our community. Refreshments will be served.

On Thursday May 25, 2017, York Regional Council passed The Regional Municipality of York development charge bylaw, No. 2017-35, which will come into effect on June 17, 2017. Development charges are fees collected from developers and are a primary source of revenue to help pay for the cost of growth-related capital infrastructure including water, wastewater, roads, transit, the Toronto-York Subway extension, police, paramedics, waste diversion, courts and public health services. The purpose of Bylaw No. 2017-35 is to fund growth-related capital costs for The Regional Municipality of York. This Region-wide development charge bylaw will apply to all lands in The Regional Municipality of York with the exception of wastewater development charges for the Village of Nobleton.

Vaughan council is going to appoint former deputy mayor Michael Di Biase’s replacement, rather than spending nearly $1 million to hold a city-wide byelection so voters can choose who fills his seat. Councillors voted unanimously June 5 to press ahead with a public appointment process, at a cost of about $5,000, after a report from the city clerk stated a byelection to fill Di Biase’s local and regional councillor seat until the end of the term, in 2018, comes with an estimated seven-figure price tag. "I think it is not financially responsible for this council to go forward with an election when the individual who would be elected probably would serve around a year," Thornhill Councillor Alan Shefman said, echoing sentiments expressed by his council colleagues before the vote. Di Biase, who served on council for nearly 30 years, including a stint as mayor from 2002 to 2006, announced he was stepping down May 18 after the release of a damning report by integrity commissioner Suzanne Craig that found he sexually harassed a city employee. Di Biase has denied the allegations and said, in announcing his resignation, that he’s innocent but was stepping down because he does "not wish to be a distraction from the important work that is ahead for our council in protecting the interests of this city." Council’s other option was to appoint one of the five local ward councillors to Di Biase’s seat then hold a byelection, at a cost of $200,00 to $250,000, or appoint a member of the public to fill that post. The appointment process to fill his vacant local and regional councillor seat involves advertising the position and inviting those who are eligible to put their names forward. Applicants get the chance to "make their case" to councillors at a special council meeting, expected to be held by the end of June.

Michael Barrett/Metroland

Vaughan council has decided to appoint a member of the public to replace former deputy mayor Michael Di Biase, who resigned after the city’s integrity commissioner found he sexually harassed a city employee. To be eligible for appointment to city council, you must be 18 or older, a Canadian citizen, a resident of Vaughan or an owner or tenant of land in Vaughan or the spouse of an owner or tenant. Those who apply for the job are allowed to deliver a five-minute pitch before councillors go through a voting process to choose the appointee. But the person council appoints won’t become deputy mayor and get the nearly $8,000 salary bump that comes with that title. Under the city’s bylaw, the deputy mayor is the regional council candidate who garnered the most votes in the 2014 municipal election. Since Regional Councillor Mario Ferri finished second to Di Biase in that race, he’s now deputy mayor. "This is nothing new, it’s been done in the past, where we appoint someone straight to the regional council, avoid the $1 million cost, and the manifestation of democracy... is found in the fact that the entire process would be public," Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua said. "I think we need to move very quickly, as we did with the resignation. Now we need to also move swiftly on making sure that we have that position filled as soon as possible."

As we freshen up our homes for the warmer months, we often forget to touch up our front yard. Create a lasting first impression with these tips from Cindy Jardim, style and trends expert at Lowe’s, that are sure to leave your neighbours with curb envy.

New hardware. Remember that a little fine-tuning brings everything together. New hardware is easy and can quickly modernize your home. Consider a new mailbox, door knob or address numbers for a complete revitalization.

Furnishings. Adding a place to sit, drink coffee and enjoy your view might make all the difference. Insert a new reading nook onto your patio with a great outdoor sofa or swing accompanied by the perfect side table and you’ll soon find yourself spending more time outside than in. Landscaping. Build an inviting walkway with a sophisticated and lush landscape of annuals, perennials and shrubs. Walkways are also a terrific way to draw attention to your front door. Use plants, low-voltage landscape light-

ing or beautiful patio stones to draw guests forward.
