When Don Reesor took over the family grave digging business from his uncle in 1985, he was still using just a shovel and wheelbarrow to dig plots.
He would shovel out half a grave early in the morning before heading to his job as a proba-tion officer.
After his day job, his wife would help him fin-ish off the grave before the couple and their two young children would eat a picnic dinner on the
grounds of one of the many small cemeteries where he worked.

the cemetery industry in York Region over the past three decades.
The population has roughly tri-pled as subdivisions have gobbled up valuable land, but while urban planners and politicians have made room for houses, schools, hospitals, libraries, fire halls, and recreation centres, the idea of setting aside land for cemeteries has often been ignored, possibly because grave-yards don’t pay property taxes and development fees.
‘So, it’s not like you can just
go out into the forest and
bury somebody.’
Aging baby boomers are caus-ing the region’s seniors population to skyrocket. They will make up the bulk of the 232,000 residents who will die over the next quarter century.
With Canada welcoming about 250,000 newcomers a year, with most immigrants settling in major urban areas such as the Greater Toronto Area, Vancouver and Mon-treal, the region has had an influx of many ethnic groups with various cultural cemetery customs.
Small community graveyards containing a few hundred souls have given way to major cemetery and funeral companies.
“There will be no more one-acre, two-acre cemeteries any more. They are a thing of the past, as far as I’m concerned. That’s my thought,” Reesor said while standing just out-side the fence of the 204-year-old Dickson Hill Cemetery just off Hwy. 48 near 19th Avenue in Markham, where he also sits on the board of directors.
“It will be 100-acre, 200-acre com-mercial cemeteries and the big guys are going to be running them. I’m third generation (as a grave digger). There could be another generation that does it, but it’s a dying thing.”
A new cemetery needs analysis by consultant LEES + Associates Architects and Planners warns of an impending shortage of cemetery
land in the region. While there is enough cemetery
land in the region overall to meet the needs for the next 25 years, the report warns of a critical shortage is on the horizon in some communities and among some religious groups.
Strange to think of Canada, with its abundance of land, running out of cemetery land, but major urban centres such as Toronto and Vancou-ver are beginning the feel the crunch of dwindling graveyard space, says Gary Carmichael, vice-president of government and corporate affairs with Arbor Memorial, which has 41 cemeteries, 28 crematoria and 92 funeral homes across Canada, including in Newmarket, Stouffville, Markham and Woodbridge. An application for a cemetery with 50 acres of burial space in Dickson Hill, just south of Stouffville, is now before the Ontario Municipal Board.
“When you think of Canada, if I can get on my soap box for half a second, you think of this great, wide, expansive land, but cemeteries are regulated land use. So, it’s not like you can just go out into the forest and bury somebody,” Carmichael said.
NOT JUST CANADA
But while lack of cemetery land may be just making its way onto the radar screen in Canada, it has long been an issue in other parts of the world, experts said.
“Increasingly, this is a problem affecting mega-cities. Mega-cities have been completely taken over by the scale of demand. Burial space hasn’t kept pace. There is a need for step–change in the way they are trying to deal with that as an issue,” Julie Rugg, a senior research fellow at the University of York’s Cemetery Research Group in England, said.
“In all of these places, you see cemetery provision is creaking under the weight of demand and they really have to think strategically about how to deal with it.”
Different cities and countries face different challenges, includ-ing “archaic” laws banning re-using graves, a lack of land, financial hard-ship in purchasing new property, regulatory hurdles, a reluctance by
politicians to plan for cemeteries and often no laws forcing them to address the issue, Rugg said, adding Scotland has just passed legislation requiring local governments to deal with cemetery space.
Although cremation rates are rising worldwide, communities around the world have resorted to creative means to make the most of their limited cemetery lands.
‘Mega-cities have been
completely taken over by
the scale of demand.’
While owning a cemetery plot in perpetuity is the law in Ontario, residents of some European coun-tries only buy a cemetery plot for a certain number of years.
If the family doesn’t continue to pay for the space, the grave is reused for someone else.
About a century ago, land-squeezed San Francisco relocated its cemeteries to a community about 10 miles south.
In Hong Kong, families store ashes in funeral homes, waiting years for a space in a public or pri-vate cemetery to open up.
The lack of cemetery land is not an issue discussed much among average residents in Brazil or cov-ered in the media, Daniel Cabral, a tour guide in Rio de Janeiro, said.
However, he pointed out the city has just welcomed a vertical cem-etery, featuring a chapel, lagoon, peacock garden, waterfalls, an avi-ary with parrots and toucans and a small restaurant.
Meanwhile, Brazil’s city of San-tos contains the world’s tallest vertical cemetery, which stands 32 storeys tall.
Canada has, so far, been able to avoid much of the angst surround-ing dwindling cemetery land expe-rienced in other areas of the world,
according to Bruce S. Elliott, a histo-ry professor at Carleton University in Ottawa specializing in cemeteries and gravestones.

“The two things in life that are certain are death and taxes — and certainly death is something we all have to face. We have to do some-thing with human remains and as long as we feel that human remains deserve respect and shouldn’t just be thrown out with the trash, then we have to acknowledge we need to treat those remains with respect. Our views of what constitutes digni-fied treatment change. Cremation was initially a hard sell in a lot of circles,” he said.
“When burial spaces in munici-palities begin to run out, it will then be forced on to the agenda of local governments and it’s something local governments should think about. I think York Region should be commended for doing that study.”

Vaughan Deputy Mayor Michael Di Biase’s bid to quash a damning report by the city’s ethics czar and overturn the penalty imposed by city council based on her findings last year began in a Toronto courtroom Tuesday.Below is a timeline of events leading to this week’s court hearing: April 14, 2015 ❚ Vaughan Integrity Commissioner Suzanne Craig tables a preliminary report laying out her initial findings from a four-month investigation into Di Biase’s behaviour at city hall trig-gered by a complaint from Di Biase’s longtime political rival and city hall watcher Richard Lorello.❚ Among Craig’s findings: the veteran politician and former mayor used intimidation and abusive language to pressure city staff who opposed his interference in the city’s tender-ing process to secure municipal projects for local construction firm, Maystar General Contractors. (Craig didn’t investigate Maystar and there’s nothing in her reports to indicate the company did anything wrong.)❚ Di Biase’s lawyer, Morris Manning, appeared before city councillors to
try to halt the ethics probe and have the matter handed over to an “inde-pendent person,” but council rejected his request.April 21, 2015 ❚ Craig brings forward her final 97-page report laying out further details about her probe and rec-ommending Di Biase be docked 90-days pay, the stiffest penalty allowed under the Municipal Act. ❚ Manning argues, unsuccessfully, that, among other things, the inves-tigation lacked “procedural fairness” as Di Biase wasn’t given the names of 32 people who made allega-tions against him so that he could adequately respond. ❚ Councillors vote unanimously to impose the 90-day pay suspension
April 30, 2015❚ Vaughan Citizen (sister paper to The Liberal) breaks the news that the York Regional Police Major Fraud Unit, in conjunction with the OPP, has launched a criminal investigation into Di Biase and is looking into a number of city con-tracts signed during his more than two decades in municipal politics, including his time as mayor. ❚ The OPP subsequently takes charge of the investigation to avoid any hint of conflict of interest as Di Biase sits on regional council and votes on the police board budget. He’s also a past member of the police services board.June 15, 2015 ❚ Manning, Di Biase’s lawyer, files an application with the Divisional Court in Toronto seeking a judicial review in order to squelch the integrity commissioner’s report and overturn the pay suspension imposed by city council Tuesday, May 17, Wednesday, May 18, 2016 ❚ The matter is being heard in an Osgoode Hall courtroom starting at 10 a.m. both days

Girls-only construction class big hit at Vaughan high school
BY ADAM [email protected]
Bianca Forgione is open to the idea of fol-lowing in her father’s footsteps and working in the construction industry some day.
“It’s definitely an option,” the 15-year-old Emily Carr Secondary School student said. “We’re still young, so we’re still thinking about what we want to do and how it coincides with our courses, but I think it’s definitely an option.”
Even if she doesn’t wind up doing what her dad does for a living, Forgione’s a lot more comfortable bashing nails into two-by-fours with a claw hammer or slicing cross cuts into them with a mitre saw than she was just a few months ago.
The same goes for many of the 21 other students she works alongside in the girls-only construction technology class offered at the Woodbridge high school.
Teacher Danny Paolino started the course in response to a scenario he’s seen play out year after year during his two decades teaching shop classes at high schools in Toronto and York Region.
“We always had one or two girls come into the class to take the course, but they always felt intimidated because they were just one or two girls and it’s all boys,” Paolino explained. “Typically, when the course would start, the first thing I’d get from them is, ‘Sir, I think I want to drop the course. I don’t want to be here; it’s all boys.’”
So, a couple of years ago, he floated the idea of launching a girls-only construction technol-ogy class to his department head and princi-pal.
After hammering out the details, the course — which teaches students the basics of wood-working, electrical and plumbing — got rolling in February.
The response has been incredible, Paolino said.
“My principal says, ‘You know what? Even if we only get five girls, we’ll get the class going.’ Not only did we get a full class of girls; there’s a waiting list,” he said. “We thought we’d get a good number of girls. I didn’t think it would be as popular as it is.
“Especially now, thinking that there might possibly be two classes next year is amazing.”
For their first project, students built a rela-tively simple wooden birdhouse.
“It was a hand-tools-based project. I kind of wanted them to get their hands wet work-ing with hammers, nails, doing cutting with a handsaw,” Paolino said.
Next, they created custom-designed and decorated cutting boards as a way to introduce them to using power tools such as table and mitre saws, thickness planers and jointers.
Following that, the girls are slated to gain experience with electrical wiring — making connections to switches, plugs and lights — and the basics of plumbing.
Then, for their final project, the students will be tasked with making a piece of furniture.
“It’s been amazing; they absolutely love it,” Paolino said. “For the most part, I find that the girls pay much more attention to detail. Some of the work they do is just outstanding. They really take pride in what they do, whereas sometimes, I find, the boys just want to get it done as quickly as possible; it’s more about just
trying to finish it. We do have boys that are into detail and do a good job, but overall I find the girls do that a whole lot better.”
The course at Emily Carr is currently the only one of its kind in York Region, according to officials at both the public and Catholic school boards, but a similar program is slated to get underway in the fall at St. Joan of Arc Catholic High School in Maple.
A handful of other school boards offer girls-only programs to entice female students to consider careers in the skilled trades.
For instance, St. Thomas Aquinas Second-ary School in Brampton, part of the Dufferin-Peel District Catholic School Board, has offered an all-girls auto mechanics class for the past three years.
Lakeshore Collegiate Institute, in the Toron-to public board, started a group called the “Woodchicks” three years ago.
The group, which fluctuates in size between six and 14 girls, meets weekly at lunch to work on a variety of projects.
Francesca Del Duca is certainly pleased that such a program exists at Emily Carr.
In Grade 9, she took an exploring technol-ogy course, which included a session in the shop class — making nameplates and CO2 cars — and really enjoyed it.
When she entered Grade 10 this year, Del Duca signed up for the traditional co-ed con-struction class, but she was a bit nervous at the prospect of being one of just a few girls in a workshop full of boys.
After hearing Paolino was starting a girls-only option this semester, she quickly dropped the co-ed class and enrolled in his course.
She’s happy about the decision and says her parents are pleased too.
“(We’re learning) basic skills you can do at home,” said the 16-year-old Grade 10 student.
Though women make up 47 per cent of the overall labour force, less than 12 per cent of construction workers are female and just 5 per cent of all skilled trades jobs are held by women, according to figures from Status of Women Canada.
Paolino hopes his class will help alter that by inspiring his students and shop teachers at other schools.
“The biggest part of this ... is opening the doors to careers possibly in the trades for some of these girls because, unless they’re exposed to it, they really don’t know what’s out there,” said Paolino, who has a daughter of his own. “There’s always this push to get girls into the trades, but nobody does anything about it.”

Alternative censusing?e filled out the census form the other day, that much ballyhooed poll of who lives in our home, what
our relationships are, how we get around, what we do for a living.
Having these stats tallied is considered vitally important for our country’s future. The previous government was much criticized for cutting back on the long-form census, making it voluntary, and so on.
So now all is right with the world and you better answer all those queries from the stats peo-ple or else.
While it is so kind of them to ask, did you notice all the really, really looong questions, such as — Is anyone listed in step B a farm operator who produces at least one agricultural product intended for sale? For example, crops, livestock, milk, poultry, eggs, greenhouse or nursery products, Christmas trees, sod, honey, bees (odd juxtaposition - honey and/or bees ... or honey bees? Can’t have honey if you don’t have bees!), maple syrup products, furs, etc.
So we get it already! A farm product!
Likewise I was relieved to determine what my relationship is with “Person 1 and Person 2”: Opposite-sex husband or wife of Person 1; Son or daughter of both Persons 1 and 2 (it’s like Dr. Seuss! Thing 1 and Thing 2!); Sweetheart, hockey teammate or dentist of Person 3; Off-leash dog park acquaintance of Person 4; Guy who held door at Wendy’s for Person 5.
Yes, I am exaggerating. But some of the questions do seem a little odd.
Personally, if I had my own census to write up, I might have been a little more nosey, and asked a few questions to find out how we really feel about each other and the relationships in our lives. Perhaps the government would consider them for next time:
Q: When it comes to your use of public transit in York Region, do you travel by:1. Car2. Pickup truck3. SUV
4. Minivan?Q: Fill in the blank. Your current
employer is...1. Wonderful!2. Probably monitoring my com-puter so I can only say so much.
Q: Of all the persons living in your home, who do you wish was actually living there?1. Not everyone but you don’t want to say who?2. Is it unkind to single out my mom?3. Quit “dropping by”. And get your own food and cable! You know who you are.4. If people wouldn’t flip off their socks all over, I would quit wishing they lived on the street.
Q: Which person in the home do you have the deepest feelings for?1. Confession: I like my grandkids better than my own kids.2. Anyone who has a job.3. When you say “person” does that include cats?
Q: Describe your relationship with your spouse.1. Happily married.2. Happily unmarried.3. Still somewhat happy most Fri-days, every second month during even numbered years. 4. We live near an LCBO; that helps.5. On good days, I wonder what I saw in him in the first place. On bad days, be afraid, very afraid.6. Every moment together with this person is like having the den-tist drill out a cavity.
So there you have it, folks. The alternative census.
Either way, I hope you complet-ed your form and I hope the info is useful — to someone. And I hope you have someone you can count on to call on the phone, message on your computer, or check off in a box as being your friend.

Right-to-die bill about individual rightsRe: Thornhill church opposes right-to-die bill, April 28.
What all churches (Cath-olic or other denomina-tions) and society at large need to understand is that the right-to-die bill was not passed to inflame or placate their religious beliefs.
There is much misinfor-mation and fear-mongering ever since the Supreme Court made it law.
First of all lets under-stand — this is NOT like your early winter flu shot — people will not be lining up at the corner pharmacy waiting their turn.
Secondly, and let’s get this straight — this bill is being passed to honour and respect an individual’s right to end his/her life due to extenuating circumstanc-es. This is a very private and personal decision which the individual makes after much deliberation with the sup-port of their family in many instances. Church and com-munity have no part in this decision making.
Earlier this year a cou-ple of cases were approved for doctor-assisted suicide.
SEND A LETTER: Email letters to [email protected]
Think for a moment of their families who watched their loved one waste away in intense discomfort and pain and begged to be relieved. If the masses haven’t walked in their shoes, they have no right to be judge and jury.
Thornhill MP Mr. Peter Kent has been approached by parishioners of St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church delivering 1,700 letters opposing the bill and they hope he will be able to influ-ence the Liberal government and prevent certain recom-mendations from being included in final legislation.
I am happy for the two parishioners who were able to overcome their trials and turn them into victories.
Unfortunately exceptions don’t make the rules, there-fore making this bill neces-sary.
Mr. Trudeau, please don’t be pressurized to ‘water down’ this bill — it is long overdue.
Parishioners, a good idea would be to go to confession and ask forgiveness for being smug and self righteous. It is nobody’s business to make decisions for others.

Housing crisis for seniors, too
How long is too long for an over 70-year-old senior to obtain a subsidized apart-ment in York Region?
A person I know has an annual income of less than $15,000 and a 50 per cent rent [subsidy] application was made eight years ago. Since that time 202 units came about at The Hub, as well as more units in another build-ing on Major Mackenzie Drive East.
There is much aware-ness made about homeless youths, but it would seem there is a crisis to provide low-income seniors with afford-able accommodation in Rich-mond Hill and York.

I have been a wills lawyer with Fishand Associates since 1989. BeforeI became a lawyer, I worked in myfamily hardware store on EglintonAvenue. I worked there in my teenyears and in my early twentiestogether with my late father Jack andmy late brother Joel. I have wonderfulmemories of people coming into buyitems for their cherished family home.We knew most of our customers andtheir children by name. Our littlestore was a place where parentswould come in with their children,share stories and make sure that thefamily home was well cared for withfertilizer, grass seed, paint, brass andsilver cleaner etc. Looking back, itnow seems like something out of amovie something, too perfect to last.When I became a wills lawyer, I saw adifferent side of life. Families fightingover inheritance, siblings not talkingto each other and greed galore. I’veheard comments like “next time youspeak to my brother, please tell himhow much I hate him or don’t referto her as my sister, please call her mymother’s other child.”One story brings it all to light. Aftermy brother passed away in 2012, I hadto close down my beloved hardwarestore. It broke my heart that this store,that had been started by my father in1955 would now be nothing but fourwalls. As I was cleaning out the store,I noticed a man walking by who I hadnot seen since I worked there backin the early eighties. I rememberedhis father and his mother. They hadbeen loyal customers of our store. Itseemed that every weekend they werein our store buying something fortheir family home. I remember howproud they were of their children’saccomplishments and how lovinglythey talked about their family. My latedad always talked about that familylike the Cleavers on Leave It ToBeaver. In other words, they were the“perfect family.” I ran out of the storeto talk to this gentleman who wasnow in his mid fifties. When I askedhim how his dad was, he said thathis dad had passed away a few yearsago and that his mom had recentlypassed away. When I said I’m sorry,he thanked me. When I asked how hissiblings were doing, he said “I don’tknow, I hate them. I never see them.I just talk to them through lawyers.They are disgusting!” He said they
were fighting over the house. All of asudden, I felt a chill. To his parents, itwas a cherished family home, but, tohim it was just a house, an asset worthmoney, I think his parents would beshocked to know that the home thatthey filled with love had become acold hard asset. I think they wouldalso be devastated to know that theirchildren are fighting each other andwill probably never speak to eachother again.In my wills practice, I hear aboutso many families being destroyed,often over so little. For years I haveappeared as a call in guest on radioand tv shows across North America.You can watch my CNN segmenton www.leskotzer.com. Some of thecalls I have received over the yearsare shocking. You would think thatthe hate I heard over the radio wasdirected at mortal enemies, but in fact,it was directed at siblings, children,parents and other family members. Ioften say that I think I’ve heard it all,until I get the next call.From my experience as a wills lawyersince 1989 here are some suggestionsthat may help you and your family:1. Firstly, it is important to make awill that sets out your wishes. Withouta will, the law decides who inheritsyour assets. Your child who is yourcaregiver gets no more than the childwho hasn’t seen you in twenty years.Furthermore, without a will, there isno executor in place to look after yourestate immediately upon your death.In future columns, I will discuss whathappens to your estate, if you passaway without a will.2. Make sure you review your willon an on going basis to make surethat it is up to date and not a recipefor a family battle. Your will shouldbe a living, breathing document thatreflects your current life situation. Inmy practice, I do free will reviews,and I am shocked that so many peoplecome in with wills that have not beenlooked at since the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.Some of these wills have executorsthat have long passed, assets namedin the will that no longer exist andchildren that were born after the dateof the will that were not named inthe will.

It is no secret that inactivity is an epidemic among Canadian children. According to a federal government report, only 9 per cent of kids aged five to 17, get the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity. This has both short- and long-term consequences, the most obvious being a growing population of unhealthy Canadians. Would you like to join others in an initiative to do something about it?
It is true that the benefits of being active span beyond physical health. Participating in sport helps children learn important life skills – like discipline, confidence, and teamwork – and it provides an environment to foster self-esteem and overcome
perceived limitations. Learning these skills early creates a strong foundation. In other words, sports equip kids for life.
“Unfortunately, some kids miss out on these opportunities simply because of the costs associated with organized sport, “says Landon French, president of Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities.
“Our organization which includes 2,400 community partners across Canada, is looking to remedy the issue of cost. In fact, since 2005 we have helped over one million kids get into sports and physical activity.”
A great way to help kids get active, says French,
is by encouraging them with programs they enjoy. Dreams of playing in the NHL, or representing Canada at the Olympic Games may be a motivator for some children, but many others value fitness, fun, making friends, or team building more than competition. Finding the right activity will help foster a lifelong love for the sport.
“Physical activity is an essential building block in a child’s development, and we want to ensure that every kid has an equal opportunity to play,” French continues. “We provide funding for dozens of different activities so children can be active in a way that is fun for them. This way, they are more likely to be active for life.”

$500 collision report fee too high, lawyer tells York policeBY JEREMY [email protected]
The long simmering feud involving tax-payers, emergency response budgets and car insurance premiums has opened a new battlefront, with personal injury lawyers now angry at York Regional Police, which is attempting to trim its budget.
Last month, by mere happenstance, York Region lawyer Heikki Cox-Kikkajoon looked through a stack of bills and came across a police accident report invoice from YRP for more than $500.
“I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “It really burned me under the collar.”
The bill was for a document Barrie-based Cox-Kikkajoon had ordered in relation to a relatively minor car crash that occurred on Leslie Street in Newmarket in 2015.
Instead of the customary $43 charge he said he continues to receive from the OPP’s Aurora detachment, this York police motor vehicle accident report was $553.70.
Cox-Kikkajoon said what upset him more than anything else was what he considered to be the simplicity of the document the police were charging that kind of money for.
“I am questioning the actual cost,” he said. “How did they come up with that cost?”
The one-page accident report, which involves an “eight-centimetre by 10-centi-metre” diagram and information, including which direction the vehicles were travelling, would likely take 30 minutes to fill out, but certainly no more than an hour, Cox-Kikka-
joon said.The document is a standard provincial
report that all police forces are mandated to complete in a timely manner following atten-dance at or investigation of a car crash.
This report differs greatly from a “level-four” reconstruction report, which is com-pleted when there is a major crash involving significant injury or death, leading to closed roads, Cox-Kikkajoon said.
“Those reports are pivotal and it costs a lot,” he said. “In those documents, they ana-lyze skid marks and do detailed study, glean-ing speed and witness reports. I don’t mind paying money for them, but this is different.”
York police insists it is simply trying to recover an ever-increasing cost through avenues other than the region’s taxpayers, essentially saying motorists should cover the costs of car crashes, rather than the entire tax base.
The $490 fee, plus HST, “accurately reflects the cost of investigating and administering” the reports, according to a statement from York police.
“A report investigated by the major colli-sion investigation unit includes scene mea-surements, field sketches and notes, vehicle crush measurements, scale diagrams, speed, time and distance calculations, opinions and conclusions,” it adds.
However, Cox-Kikkjoon says these sorts of costs are too much burden to put on those who suffer from collisions and, at the end of the day, all motorists are likely to bear
the brunt.“Someone bears the cost,” he said. “At the
end of the day, it comes back to the people who pay insurance costs.”
The rise in price was implemented at a York Regional Police Services Board meeting in late 2015, as both the police and regional chairperson Wayne Emmerson took steps to keep the police budget increase less than 3 per cent.
York police, whose budget will reach $300 million in 2017, said they’d been losing mil-lions of dollars a year writing up mandated
reports for insurance companies that were going unused.
It was during this meeting that Emmer-son told the board he could not support a 3.7-per-cent budget increase, insisting more savings needed to be found.
“We’re going to have to find some fund-ing,” he said.
The police force was not done with acci-dent reports, also deciding to start charg-ing homeowners for each false alarm that requires police to attend a residence.

Thornhill paramedic earns provincial award for bravery
By SIMONE [email protected]
Shachar Gabay of Thornhill is one of 21 paramedics who last week were presented an Ontario Award for Paramedic Bravery.
“Shachar Gabay’s story is one of cour-age, selflessness and heroism. His humility and bravery in that time of need speaks to his incredible commitment to service and public safety. Lives were saved because of his actions, and for that, I congratulate him,” said Steven Del Duca, MPP for Vaughan, at last Thursday’s presentation.
On March 30, 2015, paramedic Gabay and his partner received a call about a driver who had crashed into a tree and was pos-sibly trapped. With the engine compartment already on fire, Gabay entered the vehicle from the back seat, unfastened the driver’s seatbelt, and pulled the driver outside, just as the car became totally engulfed in flames.
“I’m proud to honor these outstanding paramedics through Ontario’s Award for Paramedic Bravery,” said Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. “
“This award reflects our recognition of paramedics’ exceptional commitment to their communities, our appreciation for their courage, and our gratitude for their selfless
service,” Dr. Hoskins said.At the second annual Ontario Award for
Paramedic Bravery ceremony at Queen’s Park May 12, paramedics received awards for their acts of exceptional courage — performed on the job or off-duty — in the face of grave, personal danger.
Thornhill’s Shachar Gabay was recognized for help-
ing save a driver, who was trapped in a burning vehicle.
QUICK FACTS ABOUT PARAMEDICS
• In Ontario, there are three types of para-medics: primary care, advanced care and critical care.
• Paramedics can work for land-based or air ambulance organizations.
• Paramedics undertake rigorous pre-service training through a two-year college or university training program and are regulated by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

Local MPP Martow takes on accessible parking issueThornhill MPP Gila Martow came one step
closer to helping people who use handicapped parking earlier this month.
On May 5, she promoted and debated her private member’s bill, Bill 187: Commission of Inquiry into Accessible Parking in Municipali-ties Act, 2016, in the Ontario Legislature and it passed second reading.
It aims to create a taskforce of municipal representatives and stakeholders to agree upon streamlined accessible parking regulations.
“People have enough challenges. They shouldn’t carry a stack of papers with differ-ent rules from different municipalities,” Mar-
tow said, adding that all accessibility groups should discuss with municipalities how they can streamline the rules for accessible parking or ensure rules are clearly posted.
Following one of Martow’s Facebook posts on the topic, Toronto resident Dave Slotnick posted this comment: “I do have a disabled per-mit, my concern is not enough parking spots allocated at certain businesses!”
Martow agrees there is a need for more spots. “We need to get through to developers and politicians — they are not giving enough spots,” she said.
“Handicap parking rules are inconsistent across the province and accessible parking per-mit fraud is an ongoing problem. Thousands
By simone [email protected]
of residents who struggle with mobility issues should not have to deal with the additional burdens of complex rules, inconsistent regula-tions and fraudsters.”
Over the past few months, Martow’s bill has gained support from a number of Ontarians who deal with accessible parking issues on a daily basis. Many helped shed light on the challenges faced with conflicting rules and the improper use of parking permits, she said.
“We need to sit down — all the accessibility groups — and have discussions with munici-palities on how best to streamline and, where possible, have the same rules,” added Martow. “It shouldn’t be that the rules south of Steeles or north of Steeles are so vastly different. Acces-sible parking needs to be accessible!”
After passing second reading with support from all three parties, the bill was referred to the Justice Policy Committee for review.

Auction to support, find homes for cats starts June 1
You can soon help abandoned cats while you shop.
The Markham animal advisory committee is hosting an online auc-tion to help support the Cat Adop-tion and Education Centre (CAEC), located in the Thornhill Community Centre and Library.
The city’s cat adoption centre opened earlier this year and is home to more than a dozen cats, ready and waiting to be adopted. The cats are spayed or neutered and vaccinated.
The auction will feature items such as designer fashion accessories and jewelry, art collections, attraction and theatre tickets, rounds of golf, elec-tronics and restaurant gift certificates.
Proceeds will help support pro-grams run through the city’s animal advisory committee, including a feral cat program and the CAEC, said com-mittee chairperson Denielle Duncan.
Bidding starts June 1 and runs to June 30.
The committee has been pushing for a local adoption centre for years, Duncan said, and through the centre, run by contracted OSPCA staff, more Markham cats are finding a home.
“The adoption rate is higher than ever before,” she said. “The more cats adopted — the less are euthanized.”

Camaro ZL1’s Hydra-Matic transmission is a ‘Perfect 10’With faster upshifts than a dual-clutch transmission and a wid-er overall gear ratio spread to optimize performance and effi-ciency, the all-new available Hydra-Matic 10-speed automatic transmission sets a new performance standard in the 2017 Ca-maro ZL1 and raises the bar for the segment.
The ZL1 is expected to be the first volume production car to offer a 10-speed automatic.
It builds on the established legacy of Hydra-Matic eight-speed transmission family offered on other Gen Six Camaro models, to deliver higher thresholds of capability, refinement and efficiency.
The greater overall performance and efficiency are due pri-marily to the 10-speed’s wider 7.39 overall gear ratio spread, which enhances off-the-line performance with an aggressive first gear ratio of 4.70.
Smaller steps between the gears also help the engine main-tain the optimal speed for maximum power at almost all vehicle speeds, especially when exiting a corner on a track.
Chevrolet testing has shown the ZL1 with the available 10-speed has faster shift times than the Porsche PDK dual-clutch transmission.
In fact, the 1-2 upshift is 36 per cent quicker than the PDK, while the 2-3 and 3-4 upshifts are 27 per cent and 26 per cent quicker, respectively.
Hundreds of hours were spent integrating the 10-speed’s shift performance with the unique power band of the ZL1’s su-percharged 6.2-litre LT4 engine, which is estimated at 640 hp and 640 lb/ft of torque.

Are you not hearing clearly whena group of people are talking?Many people find that they are nolonger able to understand everythingbeing said, particularly when in thecompany of others. Engineered inSwitzerland, the Audéo V hearingaid has been designed specifically tounderstandspeech ingroupsituations.
The majority of those surveyed statedthat when exposed to considerablebackgroundnoise they are able to hearthat something is being spoken, butcan no longer discern precisely whatis being said. The words seem blurredand indistinct. But why is that? Theeffect tends to manifest itself in groupsituations, especially in restaurants. It isthe high-pitched tones perceived at theentrance to the cochlea that determinewhen youhear things accurately. In themajority of cases theseparts of the innerear are the first to be affected by noiseor aging.As the high-pitched tones areno longer perceived well, the auditorycentre of the brain begins to struggle todecode language. It’s a bit like an imagethat doesn’t have enough pixels.
Developed by Swiss audiologists theAudéo V hearing aid is designed toimprove speech comprehension innoise, particularly with hearing loss inthe high-frequency range. People cantrial thenewAudéoVsystembyPhonaksimply by calling now to do so. Duringyour FREE hearing test, our HearingCare Professionals will determine howspeechcomprehensioncanbe improvedin various situations and what role thetechnology called “AutosenseOS”plays.This technology can recognize wherethe person being spoken to is locatedand can amplify only his or her voice,
while ambientnoise is reduced.Thanksto several synchronous microphones,the hearing aid can detect sound inall directions and select the directionthat speech is coming from withinmilliseconds, seamlessly adjusting tothe listening situation.
According to Swiss researchers,this can significantly improvespeech comprehension, especially inconversation for the right candidates.Interested people can register for a freehearing test and trial of the Audéo Vby calling 1-888-771-7459

MARRETTA, GioacchinoMay 11, 2016
“Jack” passed away peacefully on Wednesday May 11, 2016 at Mackenzie Health Centre at age 68. Beloved son of Amelia and the late Carlo. Jack is survived by his cousins Rina (Joe De Donato, Samantha & Sarah) and Angela McNeil (Alexandra). Jack was a long time resident of Richmond Hill and a teacher at St. Peter’s in Woodbridge for over 30 years. Jack loved animals and had a special place in his heart for his two cats Chippy and Boots. Jack will be sadly missed by many of his friends, fellow teachers and students.
The family will receive friends at the HOLY CROSS CATHOLIC FUNERAL HOME 211 Langstaff Road East (west of Bayview Ave.) from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Friday May 20, 2016. A mass of Christian burial will take place within the funeral home in the Chapel of St. Joseph on Saturday May 21, 2016 at 11:30 am. The final rite of committal will take place at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery (8361 Yonge St., Thornhill).
If desired, donations may be made to the Richmond Hill Food Bank, The Humane Society or Canadian Cancer Society. Online condolences & directions may be found at www.catholic-cemeteries.com
