Shining of lasers baffles pilots
By Jeremy Grimaldi [email protected]
York Regional Police Const. Greg Lubianetzky had his retina burned last year by a laser while in his police helicopter en route to a crime scene.
Over the past decade about 35 people have been charged with pointing lasers at York police’s heli-copter.
Despite all the public safety announcements about just how dangerous pointing lasers at aircraft can be for pilots, passengers and the public — especially considering even temporary blindness can cause a crash — it’s happened once again.
PILOT BLINDED
During the latest incident, a man in Vaughan can be seen via infrared cameras pointing a gun with a laser attached, at the helicopter.
A single laser beam can cause damage in a multitude of ways.
It can damage eyes, as it did for Const. Lubianetzky and his pilot when they both stared directly at a laser being pointed at their helicop-ter.
Emergency situations can also be caused when a single beam hits glass and refracts, multiplying into dark

Charged in the Moka Cafe double murder, Jason Hay and his suspected girlfriend made their first court appearances to set a date for bail hearings.
On Saturday, the 27-year-old made a short
video appearance as family members of the victims and Hay’s father and sister looked on from the Newmarket courtroom.
It was at about 2 p.m. last Friday when investigators, hot on Hay’s trail, closed three of four lanes of Hwy. 400, near Mapleview Drive and Essa Road, in Barrie.
Police vehicles then moved in to box in Hay’s rental car with three of the police cars

“Either way, that’s bad news for the crew and bad news for the people below us,” said Const. Lubi-anetzky, who has been working with York police’s Air2 at Buttonville Airport for 12 years.
“After all, we’re usually patrol-ling over highly populated areas, subdivisions.”
On Sunday at about 1:30 a.m., on Jenna Court, near Hwy. 7 and Pine Valley Drive, police video shows the suspect point the gun multiple times before running away from his two friends, hopping a fence, throwing down the weapon and hiding in the woods.
This is quickly followed by offi-cers using police dogs and on-board camera information to locate the suspect and make the arrest.
Nicholas Caranci, 19, from Vaughan, has been charged with a slew of offences, including mischief
endangering life.According to the Canadian Forc-
es, Caranci is a private who joined the military in February 2014 and last paraded with his unit, 32 Ser-vice Battalion, in June.
Const. Lubianetzky said in the past those charged under these sit-uations have avoided jail, instead being given conditional discharges and suspended sentences, in part because he believes neither the police nor the courts “put enough importance” on the crime.
To remedy this, he said the Air2 crew invited the federal Crown to the police hanger at Buttonville Air-port to see the impact the trend is having on officers.
“There’s really a potential for disastrous consequences — con-tact from that laser can result in blindness,” he added, noting lasers can also distract officers from their duty, which, in this case, was answering calls about a handgun.
In 2011, a 10-year-old boy was caught shining a high powered
laser into the helicopter’s cockpit.It’s not only police helicopters
that face threats from lasers. In 2014, two WestJet pilots strug-
gled through a landing at Ottawa’s international airport after they
were hit by a green laser beam.York Regional Police introduced
its air support unit in 2002 and has been operating out of Buttonville since late 2003.
Some of the other charges faced
by Caranci include unlawfully engaging in behaviour that endan-gers aircraft and projecting a bright light into navigable airspace.
According to a statement, the Canadian Armed Forces will also investigate the incident.
“The Canadian Armed Forces take all allegations of criminal activity seriously and in all cases, investigations are conducted to determine the facts, analyse the evidence and, if warranted, lay appropriate charges,” a statement read.
“The Canadian Armed Forces hold their members to a very high standard of conduct and perfor-mance in Canada or abroad, on or off military duty. When an inci-dent, a special circumstance or a professional deficiency occurs that calls into question the member’s suitability for continued service, an administrative review will be initi-ated to ensure the most appropri-ate career administrative action is taken.”

Our Water: Clean and SafeHow is our water made clean and safeto drink? It starts with protection atthe source.
Water protection requires constant careand monitoring. York Region works withgovernments, businesses, farms andresidents to make sure our groundwateris protected. We also make sure theused water going down our drains andtoilets is thoroughly treated beforeit safely re-enters the environment.As Lake Ontario, Lake Simcoe, andgroundwater provide drinking waterto York Region residents, it is vital thatthis water continue to be protected.
Our drinking water undergoes manytreatment processes to make it safe.At the Georgina Water Treatment Plant,
contaminants are removed as lakewater passes through membranes andultra-violet light. Chlorine is added toprotect our water as it moves throughthe distribution pipes before it arrivesat your taps.
The monitoring of water quality neverstops. Last year, York Region performed36,817 drinking water quality tests.These tests confirm the 285 millionlitres of water delivered each day to anestimated 1.1 million residents is cleanand safe.
The York Region water system ismassive, integrated and fascinating. Yet,it is rarely seen. We’ve taken videos thatwill open the door to our undergroundworld. We think you’ll be amazed.

DarcyDarcy is a lawyer withBoland Howe LLP, TrialLawyers for the Injured,and can be reached at905.841.5717www.bolandhowe.com
Canadian LawyerMagazine hasrecognized BolandHoweas one of the Top 10Personal Injury lawfirms in Canada.
Whatdoes that numberrepresent to you?
Allow me to put it intoperspective. It is aboutas many people as theentire complement of theCanadian Reserve Force. Itis about as many people asthe population of Bradford.It is approximately the totalnumber of days the averageCanadian lives.
It is also the estimatednumber of Ontarians,who, one year after a caraccident, will still be inpain.
The Ministry ofTransportation’s mostrecent published statisticsshow that in 2012, therewere 61,001 peopleinjured in car accidents.More than 96 percent.58,805 of them suffered
injuries that did not requireadmission to a hospital andcould be dealt with in theemergency room or by afamily doctor.
This year, a researchteam commissioned bythe Ministry of Financepublished researchpapers that reviewed thefindings of what the teamconsidered to be the mostreliable clinical studiesrelating to these 58,805Ontarians injured inautomobile collisionswith injuries not requiringadmission to hospital.
According to one oftheir research papers,published in Journalof Manipulative andPsychological Therapeutics,Volume 32, Number 2S,“the preponderance ofevidence indicates that,in adults, recovery ofwhiplash-associateddisorders is prolonged,with approximately halfof those affected reportingneck pain symptomsone year after theaccident.
Perhaps, you may thinkthat there must besomething unique aboutthe 50 percent who don’tget better in the first sixmonths or who never getbetter. The research teamreviewed all the red flags,like pre-existing conditions,age, percentage of body inpain, baseline neck painand headache intensityand disability. Researchersconcluded they could notreasonably predict whowould recover and who
would not. So, you andI are as likely to recoverafter one year as we areto not recover after oneyear. And we have thesame odds of being oneof the unfortunate 1,311to 1,836 Ontarians whosuffer prolonged severesymptoms.
With 58,805 Ontarianssuffering from suchinjuries each year, and halfnot recovering after oneyear, you would assumethat your auto policywouldafford ample funding fortreatment to cope, wouldn’tyou?
Formerly, motorists hadcoverage for $100,000 oftreatment if they neededit. Then, in 2010, thegovernment reduced itto $3,500 for those whohave injuries like wehave been discussing.Now the government iscontemplating reducing iteven further, and limitingthe duration of treatmentto just six months.
On behalf of the OntarioTrial Lawyers Association,I attended the FinancialServices CommissionAugust 17 to implore theMinistry of Finance andthe Financial ServicesCommission to affordgreater care to Ontarianswhose soft-tissue injuriespersist beyond six months.There should be morefunding available throughOntarian’s automobilepolicies. Let us hope theylisten to reason 29,402Ontarians are too manyto ignore.

You are invited to Take Back The Night Sept. 16.
The Women’s Support Network of York Region, in partnership with Sandgate Wom-en’s Shelter, Yellow Brick House, The AIDS Committee of York Region and Blue Door Shelters, is holding a Take Back The Night event.
This international event is designed to increase public knowledge and understand-ing about sexual violence in our community.
Since 1976, Take Back The Night events have inspired both women and men to con-front a range of issues, including sexual vio-lence, domestic violence, violence against children and violence against women.
The unifying theme throughout these diverse topics is the assertion that all human beings have the right to be free from violence, the right to be heard and the right to reclaim
those rights if they are violated. Take Back The Night York Region will take
place Wed., Sept. 16 from 6 to 8 p.m. at River-walk Commons in Newmarket.
The evening will include live music, swag bags, fun activities for children, a survivor speech, educational remarks about the miss-ing and murdered Aboriginal women in Can-ada, dance and yoga performances, as well as a rally and one-kilometre walk down Main Street, concluding with a candlelight vigil.
Free food and refreshments will be avail-able. The rally and one-km march will begin at 7:15 p.m.
Men, women and children of all ages are encouraged to participate in this important, free, community awareness-raising event.
For more information about the event, contact The Women’s Support Network of York Region at 905-895-3636. You can also visit the Facebook event page by searching the link Take Back The Night York Region.

OPINIONLETTERS TO THE EDITORDriving becoming act of death defiance
I own a home on a corner lot on a no-exit street.
There is a stop sign on my property, so I have the privilege of seeing how many people actually stop at the sign. I would estimate one in 100.
Today I saw someone actually stop and on fur-ther observation could see why. It was to check what was happening on their cell phone.
Most people do what is called a roll-through stop. The speed varies from a bit of a slowdown by touch-ing the brake to a complete disregard for the sign and what would appear to be no application of the brake whatsoever.
Is it any wonder so many pedestrians are being run down on a daily basis?
Another one of my favourites is having to come to a complete stop to allow someone to venture into the lane where I am driving in the opposite direction in order to get ahead (?)
into the left turn lane. This seems to be rampant at the intersection of Keele and Major Mackenzie.
The installation of bar-riers such as the ones on Dufferin north of Ruther-ford may prevent these dangerous acts.
I have been driving in this country for 45 years and in the past few years the rules of the road don’t seem to apply any longer.
I no longer enjoy driv-ing in this area, even to the variety store, as it seems as though every time you do you are taking your very life into your hands.

Pipelines important to our economy
I find it very disturbing the NDP and the Liberals do not understand the impor-tance of extending our pipe-lines to the refineries.
It is very important to our economy that we become self sufficient in energy and we have the opportunity to do just that.
By keeping our refin-eries going with oil from our own resources, we will create thousands of jobs and eliminate the need to import “dirty” oil from the Middle East.
As well, we would increase our exports to the United States and the result would be that we would lower our imports imbal-ance, as well as eliminate the possible disaster of an oil spill created by the many ocean-going ships that are carrying this oil to our refineries. The oil we have in Canada is cleaner than the oil we import.
Faced with the current price of oil and the loss of many jobs in Alberta, we can hardly afford to miss this opportunity.
Let us not forget, the cur-rent low price is a deliberate attempt by the OPEC coun-tries to force us to give up on our own resources and be dependent on them for our energy needs.
They will surely raise their prices as soon as our industry collapses.

COLUMN
World Series of political racesy now I guess you are noticing the similari-ties between Canada’s federal election and the World Series pennant race in major league
baseball. If not, let me fill you in.Both will play out over the
next couple of months with the final contest in late October. Both feature teams that sport blue in their team colours and a maple leaf in their logo, that would desperately like to clinch it in the final, holding up the big trophy as the confetti rains down from above.
Both have somewhat revamped lineups, although sev-eral core players are still there, with the same skipper they’ve had for a while. (Do you ever notice John Gibbons is always eating something? It’s as if the game is keeping him away from his dinner. Meanwhile, Stephen Harper is not a bad looking fel-low, he just looks like a guy who would be more comfortable wearing a tie, but his advisors have hidden them.)
In the case of the Jays, it’s pret-ty clear they are Canada’s team, bandwagon jumpers and all. The federal Conservatives would love to think of themselves as Cana-da’s team, but they have so many critics these days, as well as seri-ous competition for our hearts from the NDP (picture them in orange and black) or Liberals (wearing red), it promises to be a close race right to the bitter end.
Like baseball, every once in a while one of the political par-ties is forced to deal with a team member over some dumb post-ing on their Twitter account.
Likewise, sometimes veterans get the start over newcomers trying to break into the lineup. Sometimes a candidate is thrown a knuckleball of a question and swings wildly, making a fool of him or herself.
Some generate interest because of their choice of hair-styles or who it is they hang out with on their off time and not by their performance in the batter’s box (aka media scrum).
Once the baseball season is said and done, I’m sure we will have been all quite well enter-tained, and maybe had our hearts broken. But I’m not sure the Jays
becoming champs would have the same impact as what direc-tion we go with our federal gov-ernment.
Alas, if only the federal parties could generate the same kind of interest in their battle for ballots that the Jays have been able to generate with their ballfield battle for wins.
Perhaps they can pick up a few tips from baseball to get the fans pumped up:
Each party could have a mascot: Conservative Carl, Lib-eral Larry, NDP Pete. They’d race around the field between debates and maybe trip each other.
Thomas Mulcair Bobblehead Day.
Free Liberal batting helmet to the first 20,000 voters.
Conservative towel day (their haters would love for it to be a simple white “I surrender” style of towel, but I doubt they are giving up that easily).
When a politician steps up to the microphone his party could flash his stats from when he was on student council at university, who his favourite politician was growing up, votes batted in. We could all get to know the players a little better.
Although that’s been the knock on politics these days, that the more we know the players, the less we seem to like them, and the more the party they play for is left open to criticism. So parties appoint candidates rather than allow them to be chosen, and when it comes to talking to voters, candidates aren’t all that candid.
Which is why people, on the day before voting day, are search-ing around for the name of the candidate in their riding, even though they’ve learned the Jays starting lineup by heart.
Politics is one of those games where not everyone loves a win-ner.

This summer, let our federal politicans do
the heavy liftingElection, what election?If that’s your reaction 60 days
from a federal vote, who could blame you?
At a time when we’re in the dog days of summer, enjoying the Blue Jays, lazy cottage times, barbe-cues, beach balls and everything but politics, it’s hard to think about campaign promises and political speeches.
But you’ve got Conservative leader Stephen Harper, the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair, Justin Trudeau of the Liberals and Green Party chief Elizabeth May hitting the hustings pleading for your support.
They’ve been stomping around for almost three weeks, promise-making and insulting each other. Though not many have noticed, save for that leaders’ debate two weeks ago.
It’s laughable but predictable that pollsters are busy giving us the horserace — when we’re barely at the stage where they’ve opened the starting gates.
So much can still happen and the people who will decide who wins aren’t even paying attention yet.
It isn’t usually until the back stretch that voters really get inter-ested — and that’s about three weeks out from election day.
Serious interest won’t get going until the kids head back to school and people strap in and pay atten-tion to what’s being said. And we’re at least three weeks away from that point.
Until then, to use a baseball met-aphor, we’re in spring training. The games don’t matter, it’s just warm-ups and only the real political junk-ies are paying any attention.
The fans/voters will perk up when the political season starts in September and once we get to October and political playoff time, those who really care will hone in on what matters.
So, let’s take a breath and let the politicians do all the heavy lifting. We’ll see them in September.

Fantino ‘diametrically opposed’to Justin Trudeau’s platform
AdAm [email protected]
Vaughan-Woodbridge Conservative can-didate Julian Fantino has been taking jabs at the Liberals, especially party leader Justin Trudeau, since the federal election cam-paign kicked off.
But he denies it’s because he’s concerned the Grits will take back the riding.
“I vehemently disagree with his outlook on the economy, on the threat of terror-ism, on the liberalization of drugs. We are certainly not in sync. We are diametrically opposed,” the 73-year-old incumbent said in an interview Monday night following an official kick-off event at his newly opened campaign office.
During the past two weeks, Fantino’s team has sent out a flurry of news releases, many of which contain swipes at Trudeau and the Liberal platform.
In the releases, Fantino slams Trudeau’s proposal to legalize marijuana, his pledge to end the combat mission against ISIS and plans to replace the Universal Child Care Benefit and scrap the Tories’ near doubling of the tax-free savings account contribution limits, among other things.
The shots continued during Fantino’s campaign launch Monday night as he addressed a crowd of more than 100 gath-ered at the former Longo’s supermarket at Weston Road and Langstaff Road.
Although he didn’t mention Trudeau by name, Fantino talked at length about how, unlike some “others”, he’s against legalizing
marijuana.Fantino also talked extensively about his
belief that Canadian troops need to fight ISIS overseas to prevent Canada from becoming the battleground.
Fantino insists it’s not because he’s wor-ried the Liberals have a shot at winning in the new, much smaller riding severed off from the one held for more than two decades by Maurizio Bevilacqua, the former Grit MP turned Vaughan mayor.
“Forty years in law enforcement have given me, I think, the credentials to speak with some authority with these issues and not speak hypothetically about stuff,” said the former police chief. “I’ve seen what drugs do. I know about the threat of terror-ism from first-hand experience. You know, these are real issues. … I’m speaking about the kinds of things that I believe Canadians care deeply about and the same about what local citizens, here in Vaughan, are con-cerned about.”
Fantino asserted he’s not concerned that his opponent, Liberal candidate Francesco Sorbara, will likely reap a benefit from the fact he shares a last name with longtime former Liberal MPP Greg Sorbara. Although, they are not closely related.
“I take nothing for granted, I never have, but there’s a big difference between me and any other candidate. I have the credentials, I have the track record, I have the experience and I have the proof that by sending me

Community responds to family in needAdAm mArtin-robbins
The community is rallying around a local family fighting for what they’re confident will prove to be life-changing surgery for their young son.
Three weeks ago, the Vaughan Citizen published a story about the Ciampa family’s efforts to raise $150,000, while fighting for OHIP coverage, so seven-year-old Alesandro, who has a form of cerebral palsy known as spastic diplegia, can undergo a surgical pro-cedure in the United States that could allow him to walk unaided and, ultimately, live more independently.
He currently uses a walker to get around and needs help with everything from putting on his shoes and brushing his teeth to taking a bath.
Since the article was published, there’s been an outpouring of support, said Shana Ciampa, Alesandro’s mother.
“I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders,” she said. “My husband and I were feeling so overwhelmed, … just feeling really trapped in how we would do this and now there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.”
A fundraising garage sale, held Aug. 8 garnered about $4,600 and a group of com-munity members have formed a committee to organize a fundraising gala to be held in late October, Ciampa said.
And a local restaurant chain, Via Pani-ni, has approached the family about doing another fundraiser, she said.
The Ciampa’s online fundraising cam-paign, www.gofundme.com/WalkWithAle-sandro, has also seen a slight uptick in dona-tions
The next fundraiser, a community barbe-cue at Doctors McLean District Park (8100 Islington Ave.), takes place Saturday, Aug. 29.
The event, which starts at 11 a.m., will include food, entertainment, raffles and an auction.
Ciampa said between the money raised so far and what will likely come from the other community fundraisers being planned, she has “no doubt” they will get very close to their target.
Meanwhile, the Ciampas continue to put pressure on provincial officials in hopes of getting OHIP to pay for the surgery, which, his mother says, it has done in the past.
To find out more about the fundraising initiatives, visit www.alesandroswishtowalk.com
Vaughan’s Ciampa family has been buoyed by community support in their effort to raise $150,000 for a surgical procedure for Alesandro, 7.

Liberal government will help majority
of Vaughan families,Sorbara says
back to Ottawa, I can continue to deliver for the people of Vaughan,” he said. “I don’t have to rely on name recognition, I just rely on what I do.”
Sorbara responded by saying he’s got a “great” campaign team and is running on a platform that “contains measures that will help the majority of families in Vaughan-Woodbridge” unlike the Tory plat-form, which, he says, benefits “the wealthiest of Canadians.”
And, Sorbara added, he’s happy to let Fantino discuss his record in office, especially his troubled ten-ure at the helm of Veterans Affairs.
“If Mr. Fantino would like to talk about his track record as minister of Veterans Affairs, I think that is a fair track record to talk about and it speaks for itself,” the 4 3 - y e a r - o l d first-time can-didate said.
Since cap-turing the local seat in a November 2010 byelection, Fan-tino has held four different cabinet posts.
In 2011, shortly after a land-slide victory in the general election, Fantino was appointed minister of state for seniors. A few months later, however, he was plucked from there and appointed associate min-ister of national defence, in charge of procurement.
In that role, Fantino drew criti-cism for bumbling responses to questions about the ballooning price tag for the proposed purchase of F-35 fighter jets.
Following that, in July 2012, he was appointed minister of interna-tional cooperation where he drew criticism for, among other things, remarks about a decision to halt aid funding for earthquake-ravaged Haiti due what he said was frustra-tion at the “widespread corruption” and “lack of progress rebuilding the country.”
Fantino was shuffled to Veterans Affairs in July 2013 where he soon
found himself in a standoff with Canada’s injured war veterans over their disability pensions.
Tensions heightened when he announced the government was shuttering several Veterans Affairs offices across the country.
When a group of veterans trav-elled to Ottawa to press him about the issue, Fantino arrived more than an hour late to the meeting then left abruptly following a few fiery exchanges.
Months later Fantino was spot-ted by the media in Ottawa report-edly snubbing the spouse of a veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder.
She’d come to confront him about why his ministry boosted its advertising budget by $4 million for ad campaign about its efforts to help vets transition into civilian life, while many veterans and their families were struggling to get the help they needed.
Then came revelations that his department allowed more than $1 billion of its budget to lapse and return to the federal treasury since 2006.
Amid calls for him to resign from cabinet, Fantino was shuffled back to his former post as associate min-ister of defence in January.
Asked about these controversies, Fantino said he’s “very proud” of the work he did at Veterans Affairs, saying “a lot of that was misinter-preted, misrepresented.”
“Controversies are inspired by many different agendas,” he said.
As for his remarks about Haiti, Fantino said the country “needed to be held accountable for the bil-lion dollars that Canadian taxpay-ers contributed to their issues to help them in their time of need.”
Fantino also noted that although he was shuffled out of three dif-ferent portfolios, he was never demoted.
“If the prime minister felt I was a lame duck, he probably would have dispatched me to the backbenches, but that didn’t happen,” he said. “I’m quite proud of my contribu-tion in government and I’m very, very honoured that I’ve been able to serve in these portfolios, which were not easy portfolios.”

Move over teachers, now it’s education workers embroiled in labour strife with the province.
The union representing 55,000 educational assistants, custodians, secretaries, lunch supervisors, library technicians, early childhood educators, student support work-ers and others are bargaining with the province this week.
But the situation doesn’t look promising at the moment, Elena Di Nardo, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local
2331 in York Region, said.Negotiations are not moving
well, she said, saying the ministry is dragging its heels on providing bargaining dates.
A central bargaining commit-tee is negotiating provincially for education workers with 101 Catho-lic and public union locals across Ontario.
A conciliator is now involved in the bargaining process, with con-ciliation being the final step before the union enters a legal strike posi-tion, the union said.
But with just a couple of weeks
before school starts, “we’re not even close to negotiating to getting a contract,” Di Nardo said.
Di Nardo, who said workers have been without a contract since Aug. 31, 2014, said she is not able to discuss the issues education work-ers are negotiating.
“There are a lot of issues on the table and I really can’t get into that right now, but it’s not about the wages.”
In the event of a strike, it could be difficult for schools to remain open without education workers, Di Nardo said.
However, she hopes conciliation will lead to a settlement.
“We want to be there in Septem-ber to provide students with the support they need for a successful school year, but we can’t do it with-out co-operation from the govern-ment and school boards,” she said in a union statement.
Meanwhile, as of Monday, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association is in a legal strike posi-tion.
After bargaining last week did not result in a deal, the union announced this week teachers at
a school in Moosonee in Northern Ontario will be the first to begin work-to-rule job action.
Other schools are expected to follow in the coming weeks if a deal is not reached, it added.
Members of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario re-elected Sam Hammond as presi-dent for a fourth term at the union’s annual general meeting Monday.
He told 800 delegates the prov-ince and school boards are “in for the fight of their lives” if they don’t engage in “serious, respectful bar-gaining.”

Dog owner watches in horror as pet crushedBY TIM KELLY
A dog owner was left reeling when the bus driver who ran over his beloved pet didn’t stop to see what she had just done — even after being told about it.
“I was screaming when he went under the tires,” a heartbroken Francesco Torres said just a day after Lucky was killed.
The 6-year-old Maltese poodle, a constant companion for Torres who lives alone in a condo in Vaughan, died on the table at a vet-erinarian hospital less than an hour after the bus ran over him last Wednesday afternoon.
“He was just a very healthy dog with such a charismatic personality, he was like my kid; it’s like losing your son,” said a grief-stricken Torres Thursday.
“He never did wrong to anybody, he led such a healthy lifestyle, he was six going on seven, he had years ahead of him,” he added.
What angers the Vaughan man is that he said the bus driver didn’t even slow down or get out of her bus to see what happened — even after she was told by a witness she had run over the dog.
Rachel DeBlois, who was driving in the opposite direction to the bus driver, came upon a wailing Torres in the road, holding a blood-soaked Lucky. After figuring out what happened, DeBlois went after the bus driver to tell her what happened.
“She (witness Rachel DeBlois) tried to stop the driver. She told the driver, you hit a dog and you killed him … she overheard the dis-patch office tell her to just continue with your day … with no remorse over killing an animal,” said Torres, who didn’t approach the bus driver himself, but put Lucky in his truck and frantically took off to the vet’s office in a vain effort to save his pet.
Torres was walking Lucky in Boyd Con-servation Area Wednesday around 4:15 p.m. when Torres said he saw a school bus coming “flying” towards him.
“She was flying – the speed limit in there is 15 km/h,” he said, adding he believes the bus was travelling faster than that. “What perturbs
me is that I’m making visual contact and she (the bus driver) was holding up a paper … this bus is coming right at me and she was not looking at the road,” said Torres.
He said he was walking on the shoulder on the right-hand-side of the road while Lucky was on his left, the bus coming at them.
The bus’s rear tires crushed Lucky under-neath them.
Torres was just getting over an operation for Crohn’s Disease, which he has suffered from for over 20 years.
“This dog was everything to me, when you’re sick and you have a chronic illness, your pet is the only thing that gives you light. He was the only thing that was keeping me around, that gave me inspiration,” he said.
A call to the bus company involved, First Student Canada Bus Lines, was met with no comment. An email request to the company’s corporate head office in Cincinnati, Ohio, was not returned.
Torres has filed a complaint with York Regional Police.
Francesco Torres is heartbroken after his dog was struck and killed by a bus while out for a walk last week.

Woodbridge Terry Fox run still family affairAdAm mArtin-robbins
The Terry Fox Foundation is marking a major milestone — 35 years of raising funds for cancer research in the name of a celebrat-ed Canadian hero.
It’s also a special year for John Gatti, orga-nizer of the Woodbridge Terry Fox Run. He’s marking 25 years working to ensure the local event is a success.
“I’ve lost a lot of family members and
friends to cancer; cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, on my side and my wife’s side, and colleagues from work. Over 25 years, you’re going to have loss, but it was hitting home a lot and it just meant more every year,” said Gatti, who lives in Bolton with his wife and two daughters.
“As long as people were turning out and there was interest in the area, I wasn’t going to not do it.”
Gatti also credits the Terry Fox Founda-
tion and the people who take part in the local run every year with inspiring him for more than two decades.
“The foundation is phenomenal. Every time you go to meetings, you just get more and more pumped up to keep doing it,” he said. “A lot of people come back (each year) and say thank you and bring a friend.”
Gatti, a teacher at Woodbridge College, got involved with organizing the local run in 1991 when some of his colleagues were approached about re-launching the local run after it had been inactive for a couple of years.
It was his first year teaching, so he vol-unteered to look after the financial side of things, Gatti said.
The run was held at the school and attracted 122 participants who raised a little more than $4,500.
A couple of years later, after the two other teachers who helped organize the run had moved on — one retired and the other got involved with other projects — Gatti took the helm. He hasn’t looked back since.
Gatti draws a lot of joy from the people who take part in the run year after year.
“There’s one family that comes out, they run for their brother. They’re great people,” he said. “They are there every year and they design their own shirts with a picture of him on it.”
The number of participants grew slowly, but steadily in the early years.
Then, in 1997 Gatti moved the event to Market Lane, at the urging of shopping cen-tre owner Rocco Cerone, to increase its expo-sure.
That year, 200 people took part and they raised $10,782.
The numbers remained fairly consistent over the next several years with participation ranging between about 100 and 200 people.
Eventually, ongoing construction in the Woodbridge Village core forced Gatti to move the event once again.
At Cerone’s suggestion, he decided to host it at Boyd Conservation Area, where it will be held again this year.
That turned out to be a wise move, further
increasing the event’s profile and, as a result, the amount of money raised.
Last year was the most successful run to date with 327 people taking part and raising more than $32,000.
“The generosity and the spirit of the com-munity is there. It’s really neat to see,” he said.
For Gatti, it’s always been a family affair with many of his relatives pitching in to help.
This year, his nearly 17-year-old daughter, Daniela, is serving as co-organizer and is handling promotion of the event through Facebook and Twitter.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if we hit 400 people this year because it’s the anniversary year and with social media these days the word gets out really fast,” Gatti said.
They’re looking forward to marking another major milestone when the local run wraps up — surpassing $400,000 as the total amount raised since the first run was held in Woodbridge in 1983.
To make that happen, they’re encourag-ing people who are celebrating a special anniversary this year to put together a team and take part in the run as a way to mark the occasion.
“For instance, if you won the basketball championship 20 years ago, get the first line together or get your whole team together and meet there,” Gatti explained.
The Woodbridge Terry Fox Run takes place Sunday, Sept. 20 at Boyd Conservation Area, 8739 Islington Ave. just south of Rutherford Road.
Gates open and registration starts at 9 a.m.
The run gets under way at 9:30 a.m., but you can join in at any time.
This year’s run includes loops of 1 km, 2 km and, likely, 5 km, Gatti said.
There will also be a barbecue and chil-dren’s activities.

Setting limits for our children... and seeing them through
As adults, we live with limits every day. When we drive, we are required to follow specific speed limits. If we don’t conform to this, there may be consequences, such as being given a speeding ticket and having to pay a fine.
We are required to drop off and pick up our children at day care or school at prescribed times. If we push those limits, there may be consequences for this, too.
An Internet resource dedicated to responsible gam-bling uses the slogan “Know your limit. Play within it” as a way of reminding people to pre plan how much they have or want to spend before getting carried away in the moment.
So, preparing our children for the real world is part of why we are doing them a favour by setting limits from a very young age.
Children (and adults) feel a sense of safety when they know where and what the boundaries are.
Even when we travel distances by car, we typically do so with an end point in mind. Often, driving aimlessly, with no destination or direction, can create anxiety.
Even though children typically push limits to see how flexible they are, there is security in knowing that they exist. So, even though your child may resist and resent being told to turn the television off at 8:30 p.m. to get ready for bed, most children (once older and wiser), will admit that having loving limits set for them is preferable to having no limits at all.
When parents don’t set limits, children may perceive their parents as uncaring or uninvolved.
Setting limits creates a sense of order and structure. Imagine if we had no limits set at all. Everyone would make their own rules and the world would be a very chaotic place in which to live.
Your home environment is a microcosm of what takes places outside of your walls. When children and adults within the family know what time to wake, what time to be at the school bus stop, what time dinner is being served and what time to have lights out, they thrive because their world is more predictable.
Establishing consequences in advance is a good idea, too. So, you might say to your young child, “if you don’t hold my hand, then we will have to leave” or if you’d prefer, “if you don’t hold my hand, I will need to put something around your waist and hold onto it so that I can keep you close”.
Even teens need to know where your boundaries lie, why you have set limits and what the consequences will be if they are not respected.
For example, you can say “the reason I need you to let me know when you and your friend have left his house to go to another home is so that I know where to find you if you don’t respond to my call”.
It’s up to us as parents to determine which limits are more rigid and which can bend.
For example, you may be comfortable with extend-ing bedtime to a later time on weekends or not pushing them to brush their teeth after they’ve fallen asleep in the car and want to go straight to bed.
When agreeing to push the limits, make sure that your children realize that this is a conscious choice on your part, rather than because you are throwing up your
hands with the realization that you feel helpless. So, you might say something like, “you make a good
point. I am willing to relax the guidelines tonight. But just so you know, this is an exception to the rule and not a permanent change”.

making contact with the SUV. When the vehicle was searched, police
said they discovered a firearm.Hay, from Mississauga, has been charged
with two counts of first degree murder and attempted murder.
Police also charged Mississauga resident Tashari Bennett, 25, with accessory after the fact and breach of recognizance.
It was last Wednesday when police released an image of Hay, alleging the mus-cular suspect was not to be approached as he was considered armed and dangerous.
Police believe that on June 24, he entered the Hwy. 7 and Islington Avenue cafe, a sus-pected illegal gambling site, after business hours, and shot four people.
Maria Voci, 47, from Vaughan, who was working at the cafe was shot dead.
Also gunned down was Christopher De Simone, 24, who was a regular at the cafe.
Former Toronto mayoral candidate Rocco Di Paola survived the shooting.
The fourth victim, who fears for his safe-ty, has not been named by police.
Although police have acknowledged the crime was ‘targeted’, there’s no word on who was the intended target and what was the motive for the shooting.
It was just last week Hay’s mother, Vita Ellis, called for her son to turn himself in.
“I can’t function normal. I’ve been through it already, but, again, this is worse,” she said. “I would like him to get a lawyer
and go with the lawyer.”Ellis also explained that her son had sur-
gery to remove a cyst in July, which would be after the shooting took place.
She told media she had called Hay after police released his image and implicated him in the murder, explaining that he responded incredulously “what”, which he then repeated over and again.
Ellis even called Hay on his phone while a CBC reporter was in her house, but the phone went straight to voicemail.
His father told the gathered media at the courthouse that it wasn’t his son in the now infamous surveillance footage.
The court that convicted Hay of man-slaughter in 2009, handing him a seven-year sentence, heard Hay had 50 criminal convic-tions, many involving violence and assault.
The court also heard how Bennett was on bail after a stabbing incident at a Winnipeg bar on Feb. 14, during which four people were stabbed and sent to hospital.
“This arrest comes as a direct result of the hard work of the investigative team in our Homicide Unit,” York Regional Police chief Eric Jolliffe said. “These men and women have been working tirelessly on this inves-tigation since this tragic incident took place on June 24. We are appreciative of all of the media coverage and assistance from the citizens of York Region and across the GTA for sharing the images of the suspect and, with that assistance, we were able to make this arrest.”
Hay’s bail hearing is Aug. 24.

Concrete truck fire closes Hwy. 400 lanes for hours
PHOTO/PAUL NOVOSAD
By Brea [email protected]
A portion of Hwy. 400 remained closed for more than two hours Monday after a con-crete pumper truck burst into flames on the side of the road.
Just before 4 p.m., the vehicle began to smoke, causing police to close all north and southbound lanes at Hwy. 9 in King City up to Hwy. 88 in Bradford.
Northbound lanes were quickly re-opened
after the fire was contained.According to the OPP, the driver of the
truck managed to escape with minor inju-ries.
The incident caused major delays for commuters, who sat at a standstill for much of the afternoon.
The exit ramp at Hwy. 9 remained closed for cleanup after the incident for the rest of the evening.
It is unknown at this time what caused the fire.

ORDINARY TUTORING IS ABANDAGE…….
By Tim [email protected]
It was a little early for “Smoke on the Water,” but not if you’re eager to win a dragon boat race.
Some 25 teams were stretching their muscles and determined to hit the water for a good cause before the heat kicked in Saturday morning at King City’s Seneca College campus.
The Toronto and York Region United Way was the beneficiary of the eighth annual Toromont CAT Dragon Boat festival and everybody was ready to go.
“We’ve got 25 teams competing and last year we raised about $130,000, but for this event it’s more important for our corporate partners and our community partners and labour to come together on a beautiful day in King and canoe,” said Daniele Zanotti, senior vice-president of resource development for the Toronto and York Region United Way.
“It’s really the synergy of the United Way get-ting together and paddling for a common cause,” he added.
This year’s event raised $125,000.Toromont president and CEO Scott Midhurst
put his money where his mouth was and decided he was going to get into a canoe and paddle.
“I’ve signed a waiver,” he joked. “The United Way contributes to the community in a positive way, we all know the great job they do, we have to dig deeper, when you or a family member or a co-worker needs support, they’re there,” he said.
Dragon boat race proudly paddles for United Way
Debbie Richard (from left), Rashpal Uppal, Cynthia Luey, Jenni Prodanovic and Rachel Norris-Ohm (front) of Team Seneca get ready for their dragon boat race Saturday morning at the King City campus of Seneca College. The event included 25 teams and raised about $125,000 for the United Way of Toronto and York Region.

Buying a home is often a difficult thingto do. The stress of making such a bigfinancial commitment is a struggle formany home buyers, whether they havepurchased a home in the past or aredoing so for the first time.
One way to make the process a lot lessanxiety-ridden is to work with a realestate agent you can trust. Those who
have previously purchased a home mightalready have a strong relationship with areal estate agent. But for those movingout of their current location or buying forthe first time, finding the right real estateagent requires some effort. Those in themarket for an agent to help navigate thehome buying process should considerthe following tips.
How to Find theRIGHT REAL ESTATE AGENT
FIND A BUYER’S AGENT.Real estate agents are often affiliated with sellers instead ofbuyer’s. This means their primary goal is to help the seller andnot the buyer. When shopping around for a real estate agent, askcompanies about their buyer’s agents. Buyers should always havesomeone with their interests in mind, and not the interests of thesellers.
FIND SOMEONE WITH A TRACK RECORD.Real estate can be an exciting and financially rewarding industryin which to work. As a result, lots of people want to be real estateagents, even though few succeed and last a long time. Wheninterviewing real estate agents, inquire about their history in thebusiness. A more experienced agent will make things far lessstressful and easier, and a long career indicates they are good atwhat they do.
A real estate agent with a long history in the business will likelybe a full-time agent as well. Prospective buyers should look fora full-time agent, which is not as common as some buyers mightthink. Many agents work part-time, and buyers could receive lessattention as a result.
DON’T PLACE TOO MUCH EMPHASISON AGENCY SIZE.Real estate agencies come in all shapes and sizes. When itcomes to ability, the size of the agency should not factor in. Asmaller independent agency can be just as qualified and reliableas one of the major franchise agencies. Buyers who find someonethey trust should go with that person, regardless of how big orsmall their agency is.
GET A REFERRAL.Friends and family members who have been through the buyingprocess before might be great resources. Buyers looking in “TownX” who have friends or family already living there should consultthose friends or family and ask for any agent referrals. Thoserelocating because of work should ask their company to refer anagent. Chances are companies have relocated employees in thepast and might have a strong relationship with an agency in town.
Finding a trustworthy and experienced real estate agent can help makethe process of buying a home much less stressful.

White-tailed deer, rainbow trout, centu-ries-old hemlock trees and theoccasional TV crew.
Those are just some of the things you might spot during a trek along the trails in Vaughan’s Boyd Conservation Area, nestled in the East Humber River valley, just south of Rutherford Road, at 8739 Islington Ave.
Boyd Conservation Area offers easy escape from urban jungleAn occasional series where we take a closer look at the many beautiful, diverse trail systems in York RegionTRAIL MIX
Three main trails and several side trails snake through the sprawling park, owned and maintained by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA).
With its myriad amenities – washrooms, soccer pitches, bocce courts, picnic tables – Boyd park is a popular spot for large group picnics, corporate and non-profit functions, cross-country running events and summer camps, among other things.
In the last few years, it has also become a bit of a hotspot for locally shot television shows, especially in the winter.
Given all that activity, you’re unlikely to find yourself alone, at least not in the open areas, but once you hit the trails, it becomes much more serene and, depending on the time of day, you might not encounter a single soul.
PIERRE AND JANET BERTON TRAIL
Of the three main trails running through the park, the Pierre and Janet Berton is argu-ably the most publicized.
Getting there requires driving about 1.5 kilometres into the park from the main entrance off Islington Avenue, but there are ample signs to help you find your way.
There’s a large stone marker at the trail-head bearing the honorees’ names.
The 1km loop trail existed for decades, but underwent improvements several years ago and was officially dedicated in May 2011 to recognize the prolific Canadian author and journalist and his family for supporting the Friends of Boyd Park, a local group that successfully stopped the proposed extension of Pine Valley Drive through the conserva-tion area.
The hard-packed dirt trail runs through a forested area of the park, which has been deemed environmentally sensitive, accord-ing to Grant Moravek, assistant supervisor at Boyd.
“There are things that grow here that don’t grow anywhere else – some special lilies, a natural spring that never freezes (and)… Jefferson salamanders, which is an endangered species,” said Moravek, a sea-soned outdoorsman who has worked in the park for more than a decade, during a recent morning hike.
You’ll also find a wide variety of hard-
wood trees including cherry, some very old elms, birch, walnut and a few of the endan-gered butternut tree, “but they’re hard to find”, he said.
A mostly flat, hard-packed trail with a sin-gle boardwalk through a wet area, it’s ideal for beginners, Moravek said.
There used to be a stone bridge along the seepage area, but it was washed away by the frequent floods that occur here, he said.
The bridge was built by Dr. Edmund Boyd, an ardent conservationist who owned the property until 1954, when he sold it to the local conservation authority.
At the point where it loops back toward the park, the Berton trail joins up with the William Granger Greenway, a wide, crushed-gravel trail popular with hikers and cyclists that runs alongside the branches of the Humber River, all the way up to Bindertwine Park in Kleinburg.
Those looking for a longer hike can head north along the Granger trail. Others can head south, back into Boyd Park.
WILLIAM GRANGER GREENWAY
The William Granger Greenway, which is part of the Humber River Trail, is named after a former TRCA chairman.
It meanders alongside, and occasionally crosses, the East Humber River with a con-nection to the grounds of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.
Though largely flat, there are a few steep inclines along the route.
The section that passes through Boyd Park is mostly through open meadows.
At points, it affords some up close viewing of the East Humber River, which is a feeder stream for the main Humber.
“We get a good run of salmon in the fall and rainbow trout in the spring,” Moravek said. “Depending on the water level, some-times you can see them running up and down through the culverts, under the bridges. There’s some natural speckled trout in here, too.”
The river is also home to the redside dace, an endangered species of minnow with a characteristic red stripe along the front half of the body.
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority supervisor Grant Moravek said BoydConservation Area features several rarespecies, such as the Jefferson salamander.

Something for everyone at one of region’s hidden gems
They can be seen leaping out of the water to catch insects.
Also noteworthy about this route is that it lies along the historic Toronto Carrying Place Trail, an aboriginal trade route linking Lake Ontario to Lake Simcoe and the northern Great Lakes.
As such, artifacts have been found along the trail from time to time, Moravek said.
Within Boyd Park, the Granger passes by an old quarry that was left to re-generate naturally.
Homes from the Islington Woods subdivi-sion that abuts the park sit at the top of the ridge. Down below, out of sight from the trail, are a couple of wetlands that serve as home to an array of animal and plant spe-cies.
Those seeking a slightly more challeng-ing hike – though still not terribly difficult — should consider the Red Trail, which runs along the top of the river valley through the densely forested part of Boyd park.
“It’s a good cross-country trail,” Moravek said.
There are three entry points to the trail, none of which are very well marked at the moment due to the devastating ice storm in December 2013.
One can be found at the rear of the Pop-lar Hill picnic site, located just inside the
main gate off Islington Avenue.For those wishing to drive further into
the park, there are access points at the Valleyview picnic site, which provides for a shorter hike, and at the Cliffside 1 site, though, the latter trailhead is fairly steep.
Much like the Berton Trail, the Red Trail is packed dirt with lots of tree roots.
The terrain is undulating and the trail is quite narrow in some sections.
From the Poplar Hill trailhead, it runs alongside Islington Avenue for a fair dis-tance, so depending on the time of day, the din of traffic can overwhelm the sounds of nature.
It then cuts a swath behind the Islington Woods subdivision before plunging into the forest at the park’s north end.
As you travel east along the trail, there are a couple of side trails with wonderful vistas of the East Humber.
It also affords you a view of the wetlands that have formed in the former quarry; the same ones you pass by, but can’t see, on the Granger trail.
All-in-all the Boyd Park trails are perfect for novice hikers looking to work up to more challenging treks or for those seeking respite from the sights, sounds and stresses of the urban jungle, says Moravek,
“You’re right in nature and if you’re into it enough to pay attention – to watch and listen – it’s a great place to be.”
Vaughan’s Boyd Conservation Area features several rare species, such as the Jefferson salamander.

Wiggins key to Canadian Olympic basketball hopesBy DAVID LI
The Canadian men’s basketball team will soon be playing to secure a spot for the 2016 Olympics in Rio, de Janeiro — and a young athlete from Vaughan hopes to play a key role in that quest.
From Aug. 31 to Sept. 12, the team will
participate in the 2015 International Bas-ketball Federation (FIBA) Americas Cham-pionships, which will be held in Mexico City — with the top two teams qualifying for the upcoming Summer Olympics.
At only 20, Vaughan basketball superstar, Andrew Wiggins, will be counted on heav-ily to help the Canadian squad meet their
Olympic objective.“We expect him to be a scorer for us,
run the floor for us, and be a great defend-er,” said head coach Jay Triano about Wig-gins today at the ACC.
“That’s no different than what we expect from all our players, but he just does it at a higher level than most,” he continued.
“As talented as he is, we just have to find positions to make him as comfortable as possible on the floor,” added Triano.
Wiggins, a former Vaughan Secondary student, is coming off a terrific rookie sea-son in which he was named NBA Rookie of the Year.
Wiggins says he enjoyed some down time after the hectic season, and now feels refreshed and ready for the challenge
ahead.“My summer ... I’ve been relaxing a lot,” said
Wiggins. “I’ve been back to Vaughan a lot over the summer, seeing some of my friends.”
With a full understanding of the high expec-tations placed on his shoulders, Wiggins says he’s ready to do his part to help the Canadian squad secure a spot to Rio.
When asked what that would be specifi-cally, Wiggins replied simply: “I’ve just got to play my game and just be comfortable in every situation.”
In advance of the FIBA Americas, Team Canada will head next week to Puerto Rico to participate in the Tuto Marchand 5-team exhi-bition tournament, Aug. 23 to 26.

Vaughan ready to host national U-15 baseball tourney
BY MICHAEL [email protected]
The arrival of August signifies an exciting time for youth baseball in Canada with the staging of various age group national cham-pionships.
One of those will take place in Vaughan and has been an institution since 2009 — the Under-15 Boys’ championships.
To be held at Vaughan Grove Sports Park, this year’s event will run from Thursday through Sunday, Aug. 20 through 23.
A total of 11 provincial teams, including the host Vaughan Vikings, will be vying for this year’s coveted national crown.
Wearing several different hats as the tour-nament spokesman, Vaughan Vikings minor baseball president and head coach of the host Vikings, Dirk Drieberg feels this year’s event will be one any of the participants can win.
Especially since he cited some of the pro-vincial teams are comprised of all-star players, while others, such as the Vikings and the other Ontario representative and defending Under-15 champions from Mississauga North, are club teams supplemented by a couple of out-side players on their rosters.
Drieberg was also quick to point out that with the growth of youth baseball in Cana-da, player development through enhanced coaching has improved immensely through the years — making the teams more competi-tive.
“This is an event that any team can win on any given day,” he said. “You can’t take any team lightly.”
As for how his Vikings club might fare, Drieberg feels they have exhibited progress since the start of the season with the objective to peak in time for the national champion-ships.
“We’ve had some non-baseball injuries and consistency has been a challenge, but we’ve shown spurts of playing well and we’ve made progress throughout the year,” he said. “Hopefully the boys will respond and be good representatives for our association and the City of Vaughan.”
In an effort to create additional player and fan interest, Drieberg said this year’s cham-pionship will host a skills competition before the start of the tournament Aug. 19 at 5 p.m.
“We had planned to do this last year,” he said. “But the weather changed our plans and we had to reschedule it. Hopefully this year the weatherman will co-operate.”
Drieberg was quick to thank the City of Vaughan for its support in hosting the cham-pionships over the years, saying it has created a positive atmosphere for the participants, along with their parents and friends.
“The mayor of Vaughan has been support-ive of this event and the city has been good in getting the fields and facilities ready,” he said. “The players, their families and friends love to come to Vaughan because we put on a first-class event. They look forward to it because there’s also plenty to do when they’re not playing, like going to Canada’s Wonderland or Vaughan Mills.”
This year’s tournament marks the final year of their agreement in hosting the Under-15 Boys’ Championship in Vaughan, as the event will move to Charlottetown, P.E.I. for the next two years. Drieberg hopes their asso-ciation can see it return to Vaughan starting in 2018.
But during the two-year lull, he noted the city will continue to host a national champi-onship in the form of the Under-16 Girls.
