Teachers report being kicked, grabbed by the throat, stabbed with scissors, restrained — by students "This is happening with relatively young children and most don’t perceive a five- or six-year-old much of a threat. But once you’ve seen a classroom a student has ripped apart you think differently." - York Region Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario president David Clegg to explain so students aren’t fearful of returning to class. "Sometimes, the day after, I call in sick because I just can’t face my students," she said. "It has become much more than teaching, we also have to be mental health supports, which isn’t fair to us or the students because we aren’t experts." She also points out that teachers like herself who have specialized training to deal with escalating students are pulled from their own classrooms to
TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com help, which means her students’ learning is interrupted. The federation is beginning to further research the impacts these incidents have on the other children in the classroom, Clegg said. Witnessing these acts or being evacuated from their classroom due to an out of control student must have an impact on their learning. "Integration of identified
children into mainstream classrooms has many positives but at what point do the negatives outweigh the positives," he said. "We have to be able to weigh the right of a child to be educated against the collective rights of others to learn in a safe environment." York Region isn’t alone as Peel is reporting increased incidents as well and Durham teachers are calling for more protective gear to use in the mainstream classrooms, not just
the special education and behavioural classrooms. While many are calling for more resources and protective gear, Clegg isn’t convinced it’s the solution. "There is this big elephant in the room and it’s difficult to talk about," he said. "No one is asking why this is happening. There has to be a systemic, underlying cause." The local is planning to host a symposium in February 2018 with representatives from across the region to discuss just that. Additional resources are provided to teachers in specialized classrooms where students have been identified as special needs or having behavioural challenges, student services superintendent Kate Diakiw said. The majority of these incidents happen in specialized classrooms. Teachers in mainstream or ’typical’ classrooms have very little training in dealing with violence and aggression, however, those in special education or behavioural classrooms have received crisis prevention training including understanding behaviour, student escalation signs, responding to defensive behaviour, appropriate response to a student acting out and how to perform control positions. "Physically intervening is the absolute last resort," she said. "We never want to put a hand on a child and will only do so if they are going to hurt themselves or others." Identified students have plans that spell out what actions should be taken to deal with that child’s behaviour, who will respond if needed and what to do should specific situations arise. "In many plans it is written to call the police but we rarely get to that point," she said. It is mainly these trained teachers who are using the protective gear. Specialized supports are brought in following an incident to re-evaluate plans and support teachers. She admits the system isn’t perfect but says the board is doing well with what it has, adding it is always monitoring violent incidents and analyzing any increase.

O
ne local teacher still has nightmares two years after a violent incident in her special needs classroom. The teacher, who we’ve agreed not to identify, won’t soon forget the day a student uttered death threats and then threw a piece of furniture at her head. She has been spit at, kicked, bitten, verbally abused and her life has been threatened on more than one occasion. She has also been required to wear spit shields, bite guards and even Kevlar in the classroom. "The first thing my husband asks me when I get home every day is ’Are you OK?’" she said. "Try going home and explaining bruises to your family when you are a teacher. They expect me to come home every day in one piece." In 2013, 194 incidents of violence were reported by York Region elementary teachers; in the last school year there were 536, York Region Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario president David Clegg said. Teachers are reporting trashed classrooms and broken windows; being grabbed by the throat, physically restrained and stabbed with scissors. "It’s the No. 1 topic and it’s a troubling issue that isn’t well understood," he added. "The public immediately jumps to student versus student or bullying when discussed." The teachers’ federation has been holding focus groups and polling to gain a better understanding of the situation. In the focus groups, participants don’t believe students committed the acts. "This is happening with relatively young children and most don’t perceive a five- or six-yearold much of a threat," he said. "But once you’ve seen a classroom a student has ripped apart you think differently." While challenging for teachers, it also impacts the other students in the classroom, the teacher sharing her experiences said. Witnessing aggression, even if it isn’t directed at them, is difficult for children to process and teachers must follow up

Roads construction shortfall must be addressed Residents may be in for a rough ride over the next decade or so as York Region grapples with a $1.5-billion shortfall in its forecasted 10-year roads construction budget. While characterized as a "worst case scenario," by director of transportation and infrastructure Brian Titherington, the lack of adequate funding for road work could lead to 56 projects being delayed beyond 2031. That’s not likely to be greeted as good news in a region whose residents list traffic as being one of their biggest concerns. Some parts of York are already congested to a standstill during the morning and afternoon rush hours (if not all day) and the problem will only intensify as the region’s population grows from its current 1.11 million to its projected 1.79 million by 2041. Now, the region is spending more on transportation than it ever has, according to Titherington. But, he stressed, the dollars just aren’t there to continue doing so at the usual pace. Instead, some relief will need to come via transit, carpooling, off-peak travel and emerging technologies. However, those options may not ever satisfy a significant number of residents, especially in a region that was predominantly built around the idea of commuting from one place to another by personal vehicle. For whatever reason, the region seems woefully unprepared for this shortfall. Yes, it is poised to collect $300 million less in development charges than it had anticipated. But this should be a surprise to no one, as there had been numerous warnings issued over the past few years about the potential for the pace of growth to slow. Similarly, the region only passed its transportation master plan last year, which included a list of projects needed to meet the demands presented by growth; so why are we only hearing now that the cost of the needed improvements is about twice the available budget? We agree that hiking taxes above reasonable levels isn’t the answer to the problem and borrowing more money on top of the region’s existing $2.9-billion debtload isn’t a viable option given the spectre of a credit downgrade that would result in higher borrowing costs. Asking the province for additional taxation powers could yield results, depending on what form they take, but the region should also look within for efficiencies and ensure that growth is in fact paying for growth. One thing’s for sure: the solution isn’t simply to shrug and kick 56 cans down the road. Residents deserve better. After all, no one plans to fail; they fail to plan.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Entrepreneurism a state of mind, character Re: EDITORIAL: Entrepreneurial skills vital for young people, Aug. 3. Your article would have been timely at least two decades ago and possibly even earlier than that. While Canadian governments of all political stripes get themselves elected by offering the electorate continual enhancements to the already well entrenched safety net social contract, the industry and technological trends you mention are pulling the economy and the ways in which people may financially support themselves in the polar opposite direction. Careers as entrepreneurs, i.e. self employment, may well be the course for more people.
Those traits include the deep desire and courage to "go it alone," while seeing many around head for the safety of large corporations and governments, with all of their perquisites, pensions and medical plans, etc., and the cool headed intuitive judgment necessary when those pesky, mission critical decision times arise, as they will, and invariably do so at the most inconvenient moments. True entrepreneurism is a state of mind and character which cannot be acquired. For those not so disposed, rewarding employment careers may be sought in the industries engaged in the robotics technologies to which you refer. These will require a growing number of people skilled in the design, installation and running of them and their associated systems. The techni-

cal training colleges and universities already turn out graduates in those disciplines and perhaps a priority should be given to finding ways to ensure they are continually adequately funded. However, for those young people aspiring to an entrepreneurial life, their school curriculum should include an introduction to the fundamentals of the full cycle of business planning, starting with the articulation of the value proposition for an enterprise and culminating with investor preparation.

Subway extension nothing to celebrate Re: Vaughan subway will be ready to roll on Dec. 17 says TTC, Sept. 11.
There’s nothing really to celebrate or fuss about the opening of this subway extension beyond York University (even then, the students there were managing pretty well from Wilson or Downsview for many years.) After all this hassle, inconvenience, road congestion (beyond YU) up to the final extension for several years (not to mention countless dollars of tax payers’ money) are we to understand that it would carry 100,000 passengers a year for VMC? That’s only 274 passengers a day. It may be a good sales pitch for local property price increase, but seems hardly a justifiable investment when such money could have been expended in other cost-effective projects. Basu Bose

ALI RAZA aliraza@yrmg.com Artistic Grade 8 students in York Region are invited to an open house at St. Elizabeth Catholic High School on Oct. 11. The open house is aimed for students and parents/guardians interested in the school’s Regional Arts Program, which is also a specialist high skills major (SHSM)
offered by the York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB). The program offers students "a learning environment suffused in the arts" and "develops the skills that are attractive both to the post-secondary world and to employers," said school principal John Heinrich. Streams offered in the arts program include vocal music, instrumental
music, dance, drama, visual arts and digital media. The regional arts program was launched in 2003 and is offered in conjunction with OSSD requirements. Upon graduation, students receive a Ministry of Education "Red Seal" indicating they attained SHSM in arts and culture. Further details to the program and its applica-
tion process will be explained at the open house. Application packages can be accessed online after the open house at www.stelizabethrap.com The open house takes place at the YCDSB Centre for the Arts on 525 New Westminster Dr. (adjacent to St. Elizabeth Catholic High School) in Thornhill at 7 p.m. A visual arts showcase is on at 6 p.m.

$1.5B shortfall for region’s roads ’alarming,’ official admits LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com York Region is $1.5-billion short on its forecasted 10-year roads construction budget and plans to delay 56 projects beyond 2031, a top official says. While he called that a "worst case scenario," Brian Titherington, director of transportation and infrastructure planning, agreed the shortfall is "alarming" and doesn’t include gaps for other transportation needs such as the extension of the Yonge subway to Richmond Hill and new rapid transit projects. Last year, the region adopted a transportation master plan, a long list of roads projects based on population growth determined by the provincial government and managing traffic demands at today’s levels, he said. "(But) the road improvements we require to do that would be pretty much dou-
ble what we’ve got the budget to do," Titherington said. The region has warned over the next 10 years it will collect $300 million less than it had anticipated in development charges, fees on new construction used to pay for infrastructure. The region also can’t hike property taxes above a reasonable level to pay for ongoing operating costs of roads, Titherington said. While this council has spent more on transportation than ever before, Titherington acknowledged cutting roads projects will upset commuters in a rapidly growing region where residents routinely identify traffic and transportation as their top local issue. But the region can’t continue building new and widening roads at its traditional pace, Titherington said, adding more focus is needed on public transit, carpooling, driving in off-peak hours and new technology

"Change is hard. The analogy I use is when you buy your home, you don’t buy a house sized for that Christmas dinner or big family event when you have 30 people over and people sleeping over. You kind of
figure out how to make that work," he said. "We don’t want to build our road network for the peak two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening because we have to pay for those roads all year around." Meanwhile, the region is
exploring the possibility of asking the province for new taxing powers that could help fund roads projects, Titherington said. The news comes as credit rating agencies once again highlight the risk of York’s debt load, which will peak this year at $2.9 billion
before beginning to drop next year. Moody’s Investors Service is warning the region’s debt burden "is currently one of the highest among rated Canadian municipalities" and that "demands from a growing population will continue to apply financial pressure to York’s budget," regional treasurer Bill Hughes said in a report to council last week. S and P Global Ratings cautioned it could lower the region’s credit rating in the future if the region generates lower-than-expected revenue or takes on significantly more debt for capital projects. On the positive side, Moody’s reaffirmed the region’s credit rating at Aaa with a stable outlook and S and P maintained the region at a AA+ rating with a stable outlook, Hughes said, adding the agencies praised the region’s prudent and far-sighted fiscal management.

How to Set Your Asking Price When Selling Your Home York Region - When you decide to sell your home, setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first thing he or she sees, and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range before they’re even given a chance of showing. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression”, and if you want to receive the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make a good first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds, and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low. Taking a look at what homes in your neighborhood have sold for is only a small part of the process, and on it’s own is not nearly
enough to help you make the best decision. A recent study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need)”. This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles. When taken together, this information will help you price your home to not only sell, but sell for the price you want.

SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com Danny and Talya’s lives have dovetailed. They went to many of the same programs, camps and schools growing up. They both have developmental disabilities and were integrated into schools alongside children without disabilities. But as they approached the end of high school, each of their mothers - Kathy Laszlo and Susie Sokol - worried about their futures. Laszlo and Sokol had the same wish: They wanted their children to maintain social, active lifestyles after high school. Children with a developmental disability are entitled to an education under age 21, but once they reach that age, the entitlement stops, Laszlo said. "It is like sitting on the side of a cliff. There is nothing. No continuity," she said. "They don’t have rights to anything. We wanted to be proactive and do something for them," Laszlo said. But they had trouble finding programs. So, they created a parent action group of seven parents. From there, they hoped some-
one would take on their vision of providing programs for adults with developmental disabilities who have finished high school. No organization was interested, Laszlo said. So, the women decided to launch the idea themselves. In the beginning, it was mainly a social group. In August 2006, the group held a week-long summer camp for people with developmental disabilities. They had no money, Laszlo said. University students were willing to help for no pay. The camp included cooking sessions in Laszlo’s kitchen. By 2008, Danny and Talya had finished high school and still had nowhere to go. Danny was home for a few months while Talya tried to work from home. "It was a disaster," Laszlo remembers, noting Danny doesn’t want to watch the Price is Right all day. She managed to find Danny a government program, but Laszlo ended up reporting it for being "borderline abusive", she said. The program offered no programming and the employees rarely interacted with the adults with de-

Ninety-five per cent of the program participants were from Thornhill, so it made sense to move the program there, to Garnet Williams Community Centre near Yonge Street and Clark Avenue in May 2013. They had 11 participants in their program when they moved to Thornhill in 2013. Today, there are 31 participants. Their organization, DANI, now offers a supported employment program, as well as evening, social, music and Sunday programs. The non-profit has a $1.2-million budget, with no government funding. It operates a kosher dairy café at Garnet and a pop-up restaurant that can travel to your workplace or an office close by. The pop-up is so popular that they are now booking into 2018. The pop-up also helps fights prejudice, according to Laszlo. Some people may have never seen someone with a disability working, Laszlo said. "To see them in action changes people’s view of adults with a disability," she said. Go to http://dani-toronto.com/ for more information on DANI.

IF YOU suffer from low back pain and sciatica, you are one of over 2 million adults in Canada with this often crippling spinal condition. Shooting, stabbing and burning pains from the low back, sometimes with additional pain through the buttocks and down the legs are all symptoms of a pinched nerve often called “sciatica”. In severe cases, it can lead to muscle wasting, numbness and constant tingling down to the tip of the toes. Left untreated, the intense pain can rapidly wear you down and drain the joy out of life. That is, until now... Recent advances in the treatment of sciatica and lower back pain have led to the development and huge success of Non-Surgical Re-Constructive Spinal Care. The excellent results of chiropractic treatment have been published in major medical journals. With success rates as high as 90% some back surgeons and medical doctors are recommending their patients try this treatment first before having back surgery. In Vaughan, you can try NonSurgical Re-Constructive Spinal Care at Atlantis Chiropractic – the office of low back pain and sciatica relief Chiropractor Dr. Birk D.C. Dr. Birk and his team of fully trained spinal care professionals have helped over 1,000 patients find relief from their agonising back pain and sciatica.

JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com A day after the second anniversary of the impaired driving crash that claimed the lives of three NevilleLake children and their grandfather, Global News is reporting that Marco Muzzo has been moved to a minimum security prison as he likely prepares to apply to leave the prison unattended in October. On Sept. 26 Jennifer Neville-Lake wrote a tribute to all three of her children Daniel, 9, Harry, 5, and Milly, 2, on Facebook in a post that has been shared more than 2,000 times. "Another year is dead and gone," she wrote. "Another year and I’m still here. Another year of every day hearing how many others have joined this gruesome family I was forced into, made up of victims of impaired driving." Also killed during the 2015 Vaughan crash was Ne-

Jennifer Neville-Lake (shown during Marco Muzzo’s court case) poured her heart out on Facebook as Muzzo has reportedly been transferred to a minimum security prison. ville-Lake’s father Gary Neville, 69. Badly injured were her mother Neriza Neville and grandmother Josefina Frias. The anniversary and post come as Muzzo appears to be benefiting from prison rules to help inmates re-integrate
into the community. Despite being sentenced to 10 years a year-and-a-half ago, on March 29, 2016 for impaired driving, Muzzo can apply for "unescorted temporary absences" on Oct. 18. They can be granted by the prison’s warden, accord-
ing to Corrections Canada spokesman Kyle Lawlor. Muzzo was moved from a medium to a minimum security prison last week, according to Global News, however Corrections Canada refuses to confirm this or the name of the prison
where he is being held. Preparedness for a minimum security prison, which has no fences, but does have boundaries, is decided on three factors, according to Corrections Canada - an inmate’s risk to the public, their flight risk and institutional behavior. YorkRegion.com repeatedly asked Corrections Canada why the details of Muzzo’s imprisonment are being withheld from the public, but was told information could not be released under the Privacy Act. They would not give the location or even security level of the prison where he is being held. Corrections Canada did provide: Muzzo’s schedule for release, including: eligibility for day parole, on Nov. 9, 2018; full parole eligibility, May 9, 2019; statutory release date, June 18, 2022 and warrant expiry, June 28, 2025. York Regional Police say impaired driving charges in
York Region, despite having dipped somewhat from last year, remains high. From January 2017 to September 12 there were 853 impaired charge, down 47 from 2016. The charges include 670 impaired charges, 106 no breath tests and 77 impaired by drugs. Neville-Lake, meanwhile, continues to struggle with the death of her children according to her post. "I’ve learned about how unfair, unjust and just downright cruel it is that I have to wait to be driven daily to visit my children and my dad at their forever bed, to sit at the foot of a tombstone that bears their beautiful photos and the dates of their individual sunrises and sunsets," Lake’s post continued. "The cold, lifeless monument that bears their names and is a stark reminder of what happened to them and who took them away from me and put them in the cold ground."

PC campaign ousts volunteer Di Biase That didn’t last long. Former Vaughan deputy mayor Michael Di Biase is officially out as a volunteer for Vaughan-Woodbridge PC candidate Michael Tibollo. The candidate announced, through a spokes-

The decision to punt Di Biase comes one day after Tibollo said he welcomed the veteran city council-
lor’s support. "I have known Michael and his wife for many years and hope that they will assist me given their experience and involvement in the community," Tibollo said on Wednesday, Sept. 22. Tibollo was nominated in late May. The provincial election is next June. Tim Kelly
