Vaughan MP Julian Fantino came bearing gifts Monday as the associate minister of national defence hand-ed out government grants totalling $730,000 for six community projects in Vaughan.
“We want to offer meaningful financial support to provide a greater quality of life for the community. This is no exception here,” Fantino said to a gathering at the Father Ermanno Bulfon Community Centre on Mar-tin Grove Road in Woodbridge that included a number of veterans from the Royal Canadian Legion Macken-zie Branch 414.

Next in line was $160,000 for ren-ovation work for the Vellore Village Community Centre, $152,000 for renovation costs to the Royal Cana-dian Legion Mackenzie Branch 414 and $38,012 for renovations on the Woodbridge Memorial Arena.
All the grants are part of the Can-ada 150 Community Infrastructure

Alesandro Ciampa has cerebral palsy and his family is trying to raise $150,000 so he can undergo surgery in the United States that may allow him to walk. His family says they can’t find a doctor who will sign the consent form so they can get OHIP to cover the cost. See story, page 3.

York Regional Police responded to four calls in one day about dogs being left in cars in the baking sun earlier this week.
After considerable public information efforts over the past three years, since a dog
was discovered dead in a vehicle at Vaughan Mills mall, police say they are disappointed by the numbers.
“It’s just not a good idea,” said Const. Andy Pattenden, who noted the temperature soared Monday to 34 degrees Celsius. “It’s very concerning.”
The calls to police from concerned shop-pers began just after noon Monday after a

lesandro Ciampa has one wish: to walk unaided.
And the seven-year-old’s fam-ily and friends are doing their utmost to make it reality.
To that end, they’ve launched an online fundraising campaign (www.gofundme.com/WalkWithAlesandro), organized garage sales and are planning a community barbecue in late August.
It’s all aimed at raising $150,000 to cover the cost of a surgical procedure offered in the United States that has, by all accounts, worked wonders for other children like him as well as the physiotherapy that follows.
Alesandro has spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy where the nerves constantly send messages to the muscles telling them to contract.
As he grows, his muscles won’t be able to keep up, leading to irreversible bone defor-mities, explained his mother, Shana Ciampa.
Alesandro hasn’t reached that point yet, but his hips are starting to dislocate and his mobility is regressing.
Currently, he uses a walker to get around and needs help with everything from putting on his shoes and brushing his teeth to taking a bath.
Getting him ready to start each day takes hours, Shana said.
“He’s very stiff in the morning so I have to massage him and then I have to do a series of stretches. Then I have to manoeuvre him and get his orthopedic shoes or braces,” she explained. “Then we somehow shuffle to the bathroom and our bathroom routine is a couple of hours because he can’t stand inde-pendently.”
Instead of spending his time playing, like other kids his age, Alesandro must undergo
a couple of hours of physiotherapy every day, she added.
Wanting to give her son a life of greater independence and spare him the multiple surgeries he’d otherwise face to relieve pain caused by the strain on his bones, Shana and her husband began researching a spi-nal surgery called selective dorsal rhizo-tomy (SDR), offered by Dr. T.S. Park at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
The procedure involves removing a por-tion of one vertebra, electronically stimulat-ing the nerves to see which ones are causing muscle tightness and then cutting them, Shana said.
Park has performed more than 3,000 sur-geries during the past 25 years with remark-able results, she added.
Alesandro was assessed as a candidate for the surgery earlier this year.
Park approved him for the surgery and said it would enable the youngster to “walk independently in all environments”.
The challenge facing the Ciampa family now is finding the money to cover the surgery and the intensive physiotherapy required afterward.
A different version of the surgery used to be offered in Ontario, but not any longer.
OHIP still lists the surgery as eligible for coverage, so long as a qualified neurosurgeon from Ontario performs an assessment of the child and recommends the surgery as benefi-cial, Shana said.
The trouble is, the Ciampas haven’t been able to find an Ontario physician deemed “clinically competent” who will agree to do an assessment and provide a recommenda-tion.
Shana says they approached three pediat-ric neurosurgeons — two at McMaster Chil-dren’s Hospital and one at SickKids Hospital — qualified to do an assessment, but none
of them will see Alesandro, despite the fact they’ve done it for others.
And, she says, they can’t get a clear expla-nation as to why.
It appears there’s been a recent change in opinion about the benefits of the surgery, Shana says.
When the Vaughan Citizen contacted McMaster Children’s Hospital, a hospital spokesperson said: “McMaster Children’s Hospital was receiving a number of requests for SDR directly to its neurosurgeons ear-lier this year. During that time the hospi-tal paused to reassess how these should be handled. We have determined the best care can be provided by assessing and evaluating through the Spasticity Clinic.”
Doctors at the clinic will then decide the best course of treatment, which could include SDR, the spokesperson said.
Shana says they’ve already explored this avenue with doctors at McMaster and were told the specialists in the clinic won’t recom-mend SDR.
A spokesperson at SickKids, meanwhile, had this to say: “SickKids empathizes with parents who have children with cerebral palsy and understand that they would want to do everything possible to improve their children’s quality of life, particularly if a single operation and not a series of treat-ments could bring lasting improvement. However, SickKids no longer performs this surgery as there are many unanswered questions about who will best respond to SDR, and what the long-term benefits and side effects are.”
The spokesperson went on the say that “our research to date examining long-term effects of this procedure indicates that SDR does not provide any appreciable benefit beyond standard orthopaedic surgery.”
Neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons
at the hospital are “working with colleagues in the U.S. on a proposal for a clinical trial that would compare treatment options, including SDR, for patients with cerebral palsy.”
Stephanie Visentin, whose son Aidan underwent SDR in 2014, has been advocat-ing for other Ontario families who want the surgery for their children.
“(Aidan) was a different child after the sur-gery,” she said, noting that prior to undergo-ing SDR he used a wheelchair to get around.
“It was nothing short of a miracle,” she said, adding the Ciampas aren’t alone in their struggle to get an assessment and recom-mendation from a doctor so they can get OHIP coverage.
Alesandro is slated to have the surgery in November and the Ciampas aren’t giving up on trying to get OHIP coverage just yet.
This week, Shana appealed directly to Health Minister Dr. Eric Hoskins to intervene, but she’s not optimistic it will happen.
In the meantime, they’re forging ahead with planned fundraising initiatives.
A massive garage sale takes place Satur-day, Aug. 8 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 16 Willis Rd. in Woodbridge.
Then, on Saturday, Aug. 29, they’re throwing a community barbecue at Doc-tors McLean District Park (8100 Islington Ave.), starting at 11 a.m. The event will feature food, entertainment, raffles and an auction.
As for Alesandro, he’s looking forward to being able to walk on his own one day.
“After the surgery you have to stay in St. Louis … and get physiotherapy. Then, finally, you get to back to where your home is and then you can walk by yourself,” he said. “It will feel better.”

OPINIONLETTERS TO THE EDITORFamilies need benefit
Re: Child ‘benefit’ has me seeing red, column by Tracy Kibble, July 23.
First of all, I had to do a double take at your head-line. I haven’t seen anyone upset about babies and toddlers getting help in a long time. Antibiotics, ear ache medicine, activities, daycare — $1,800 for two for one month — and the list goes on.
In an era where hardly anyone has a decent health care plan, monthly medi-cine is very expensive for young families.
It was an amazing idea to increase the child tax benefit. Finally, some money well spent.
Is it better to give it to the first-year university stu-dents so they can have an extra shot at the bar at last call? And then can text each other how drunk they are?
I have been a university student and am currently a father of a three- and one-year-old.
It is not even close who should get the $1,040.
My great-grandpa fought at Vimy Ridge. I think he would be happy to know
his great-great-grandson, who is three, can get some medicine for his croup and ear infection.

Column hits markRe: Child ‘benefit’ has me
seeing red, column by Tracy Kibble, July 23.
I congratulate Kibble on effectively expressing my feelings and those of many people to whom I’ve spoken in regards to Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s “child benefit” gift.
You have hit on every point that makes this ges-ture by the Harper govern-ment a blatant vote grabber and so unfair to all the other sectors of our society that could use a little assis-tance.
If Harper genuinely wants to help young fami-lies, then help the ones that really need it.
Allocate this based on a realistic combined fam-ily income, not across the board. That is the part that really makes me see red.
Sadly, like Kibble, I am thinking Liberal Leader
Justin Trudeau is looking good.
I am scared to even think of the NDP getting in.

Seniors story kudosRe: Caregiving struggle breaks hearts, July 16..
Kudos to reporter Lisa Queen for her story on seniors and aging in York Region.
Whether you can iden-tify with the situations that are referenced in this arti-cle personally or whether you find yourself as a care-giver for a family member or friend looking for the supports that may or may not be available today, this article raises the awareness of the growing need and supports that exist today and will only be that much more needed tomorrow.
Aging will affect every-one.
Lisa’s story and oth-ers in this series brings it home. Well done!

COLUMN
Sweater, socks are my typical office attire
have never been known as an icon of fashion, but in summer, especially on workdays, I’m a fashion faux pas personified.
I’m always wearing a suit jacket or a sweater (sometimes the colour may not match my outfit) and below my desk, on occasion, you may see socks — yes, socks or nylon trouser socks — with shoes or even — gasp! — with sandals.
Keenly aware that I am breaking fashion rules, I don’t care because I’ll do virtually anything to stay warm in my office, which is air conditioned to Arctic tempera-tures. I also depend on hot soup and warming tea every single day.
Every woman reading this col-umn will be nodding her head in agreement and empathy. Some wouldn’t be caught dead with socks, but have resorted to other interest-ing ways of keeping the blood cir-culating in their veins.
The manager in the next office to me has a small heater on under her desk. That’s how she solves her temperature problem, while con-tinuing to look fashionable.
That works fine, to a point. Once, another female manager in the next office plugged in her heater and it promptly blew a fuse and power shut down for both her office and mine (and our computers!).
At another office, I solved the problem of a cold vent right over my head by stuffing an old T-shirt in the vent. That worked well, until the office manager realized what I’d done, and forced me to remove it, saying it messed with overall heat-ing and cooling in the office.
And there’s the rub — the office manager was a man; standing there in a full suit (and socks and shoes) telling me to put up with the cold.
’Twas ever thus. Most office heating and cooling systems, in my experience, are controlled either by a faceless exterior building mainte-nance for multiple offices, or by a male manager.
Another section of our news-paper office faces south with large windows. The women — and men — in that area were wilting in the heat, while in my section of the office we were freezing.
Thankfully, our health and safe-
ty committee got involved, and the situation was resolved with a com-bination of blinds and re-directed air vents.
That’s the other point about office air conditioning wars — in Ontario there are workplace regula-tions about temperatures for work-ers. In most work environments, a minimum temperature of 18 degrees Celsius is set, according to the Occu-pational Health and Safety Act.
Yikes! That’s 64.4 degrees Fahr-enheit — almost meat locker tem-perature, as far as I’m concerned.
So no help there for female office workers wanting to wear summery dresses baring legs and arms along with pretty sandals.
I take more comfort from regula-tions set by the Canadian Standard Association that suggest in summer, depending on relative humidity, an acceptable temperature range is between 23 and 28 C.
And for those managers who maintain that there’s better produc-tivity in cooler offices, study after study disproves that theory.
Lest anyone think I’m sexist and only care about female workers’ comfort, last winter I helped advo-cate for better conditions for a male editor who works directly on the other side of my office.
His office has an exit door built into the exterior wall — a very drafty door. Each day in February when we were all moaning about below-freezing outside temperatures, he was wearing sweaters and almost turning blue at his desk.
One week when he was on vaca-tion, our health and safety group — with my encouragement — got our friendly fix-it man to put proper weatherstripping around the door.
After all, guys need comfortable work temperatures, too.

Fora Healthier & Happier LifeSuspicious incident
prompts police probeBy Jeremy Grimaldi [email protected]
York Regional Police say they are investigat-ing a suspicious incident outside a Thornhill synagogue last week in which a racial epithet was shouted and surreptitious photographs were snapped.
At about 8 a.m. on July 22, a security guard at Beth Avraham Yoseph, located at Clarke Ave-nue West, just north of Steeles Avenue West, in Thornhill, witnessed two men in hoodies taking photographs of the building, possibly its security devices and their locations.
The security guard saw another man sitting in a vehicle on York Hill Boulevard.
As the security guard drew closer, he said one of the men yelled out “f*** Jews” before loading into the car and driving away.
The security guard was unable to see the licence plate or the men’s faces.
Const. Andy Pattenden said the force is stepping up patrols at places of worship around the region as a result.
Officers also talked to other synagogues in the area to see if they had witnessed anything similar and also spoke to local residents for more information.
Const. Pattenden noted that there is a letter circulating in the community that is different to the police report and urged people to listen to the facts in the case.
Executive director Mordicai Bookbinder said he has complete confidence in the police to investigate the incident.
“BAYT has, over the past year, enhanced its security protocols, based in part on a vol-unteer-centred security approach,” he said
in an emailed statement. “We are very proud of membership participation in, and support for, our security program and the increasing attentiveness of our members and guests to unusual activity.”
The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs also released a statement giving people advice on how to remain vigilant in the face of such incidents.
“Two of the best ways to enhance security are entirely cost-free: to demonstrate aware-ness of unknown visitors and restrict physical access to the building,” spokesperson Sarah Lefton said. “If you see something, say some-thing. If you notice suspicious behaviour out-side your synagogue or people who look out of place, alert security immediately.”
Lefton said that in preparation for the High Holidays, the centre will provide addi-tional training to Jewish institutions’ private security guards and volunteers.

dog was left in a car at Markville Shopping Centre and then another call came at the Vaughan Walmart, on Hwy. 27.
Police said those two were followed up by a call at the Weston Road and Hwy. 7 Best Buy in Vaughan and then another dog in a vehi-cle call came from the No Frills on Black River Road in Sutton.
Two of the vehicles were gone by the time police arrived and two drivers were spoken to about their behaviour, but no charges have been laid.
Vaughan Mills has been sending staff out to warn drivers about what can
occur when dogs are left in hot vehicles, since chocolate lab Tucker was left in his owner’s car in 2012. The dog overheated and died.
On Tuesday, York police Tweeted: “So far so good. We are half way through the day and no calls to @YRP for pets left in hot cars.”
Later, Vaughan Mills security staff Tweeted that a dog had been removed from a vehicle and is “no longer in distress after being found by our security Pet Patrol”.
“Job well done by @vaughan_mills security and their proactive efforts to pre-vent and locate animals left in hot cars,” Tweeted York Regional Police.
“FYI @City_of_Vaughan bylaw officers are laying charges for animals left in hot cars. The total fine is $930. Leave your pets at home,” was the final police Tweet suggestion.
Photo on Vaughan Mills twitter account, shows secu-rity checking vehicles so pets are not left in hot cars.

Program to celebrate Cana-da’s 150th birthday in 2017.
Mayor Maurizio Bevilac-qua paid tribute to the vet-erans and Legion members present.
“One of the great announcements today was to the people who have made a great contribution to this country, the Legion. No money, no grant could pay you for all that you have done for us as people. On a day like this it’s important for all of us to reflect on this,” said the mayor.
Legion board member Nick Pinto said the grant was appreciated.
“Our branch, in our own way has made a very positive impact on our community. We thank the Canadian gov-ernment and thank Minister Julian Fantino for his support of our branch,” said Pinto.
Accessibility Fund
Fantino also deliv-ered grants as part of the Enabling Accessibility Fund with $50,000 going to the York Hill District Park Play-ground Accessibility Rede-
velopment.The Maranatha Christian Reformed Church received $9,800 for installa-tion of handicapped accessi-ble automatic exterior doors.
Maranatha elder Rich-ard Ubbens said his church appreciated the grant.
“This helps us greatly in improving access into and out of our church… we have weekly Alcoholics and Cocaine Anonymous, Com-munity Living York South in summer camps, it’s a build-ing that is well-used in serv-ing the community and doing important work.”
After the presentation, Fantino was asked if the tim-ing of the announcement to
give out government money was related to the upcoming Oct. 19 federal election.
“No, it’s not. These are bonafide issues that have been brought to my atten-tion. Obviously, when you represent a community, whoever you are, I think you have to pitch and support your community. I feel very good about the opportunity to do that and we’ve done that other times, long before an election was looming…
“My view is that regard-less of the timing as people may perceive it to be related, it really isn’t. When these funds become available, when opportunities become available, I like to get right in there and support very, very worthwhile causes which these are. These are all the kinds of things we can relate to. Community centres are used and enjoyed by every-body in the community. The Legion, it’s the least we can do to pay tribute to our grati-tude to our veterans. For me, it’s got nothing to do with that although some people may frame it that way, but it’s not what it’s about,” Fantino said.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT
NORTHVAUGHAN & NEW COMMUNITIESTRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN
THE STUDYVaughan’s Official Plan 2010 has identified two new community areas, Block 27 and Block 41, to be added as theurban expansion areas to accommodate future growth to a planning horizon of 2031.The preparation of SecondaryPlans for these new community areas is a requirement of both the Regional Official Plan and the Vaughan OfficialPlan 2010. Integration of transportation and land use planning is essential in ensuring that new communities arecomplete, compact, cost effective and sustainable.

Vaughan residents who are terminally ill and need end-of-life care, but don’t want to spend their final days in a hospital, could have an alternative closer to home in just a few years.
Hospice Vaughan is moving ahead with plans to build a 10-bed residential hospice, which would provide specialized care for pain and symptom management along with bereavement, psychosocial and spiritual counselling to patients and their families in a home-like setting.
“Our health care system is experienc-ing a crisis with the delivery of hospice and palliative care services. Not only is there a complete lack of hospice palliative beds in Vaughan, but this need will only escalate given the growth and aging population of our community,” said Dr.Vincent Maida, a palliative medicine specialist and Hospice Vaughan board member.
The goal is to have the facility up and run-ning by 2018. Once completed, it is projected to serve more than 200 patients annually, which would mean an estimated savings of more than $2 million per year for the ministry of health, according to hospice officials.
But a facility of this type comes with a size-able price tag — construction costs alone are pegged at about $10 million.
Thus, exactly when the doors of the resi-dential hospice will open depends, in part, on the response to Hospice Vaughan’s com-munity fundraising campaign.
The organization is currently in the pro-cess of assessing potential sites and consult-ing with key stakeholders and partners.
Additional partners are also being sought to help make the project a reality.
Hospice Vaughan has provided a wide range of services to the community during the past 20 years including grief and bereave-ment counselling programs and visiting vol-unteer outreach support.
The new residential facility will enable the organization to expand the range of services it offers.
Running by 2018
“The future Hospice Vaughan will be a centre of excellence for the delivery of hos-pice and palliative patient care, inter-pro-fessional education and inter-professional research with enhanced counselling services and community outreach and a day hos-pice program,” Mary Grace Tatangelo, board president, said.
A steering committee has been estab-lished to provide guidance and help launch the capital fundraising campaign.
Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua serves as hon-orary chairperson of the committee.
“For 20 years, Hospice Vaughan has been committed to providing important services to people facing a life-ending illness and their loved ones,” he said in a news release. “This new residential hospice will improve access to palliative care in our community as well as help ease the burden for many families in their time of need.”

Students may not want to be reminded just yet, but the Salvation Army is already thinking about back to school.
Specifically, the Richmond Hill-based agency is worried about those students living in less fortunate family situations who can’t afford all the supplies needed for the Septem-ber return to class.
So again this summer, the Salvation Army is embarking on its backpack drive, asking companies and individuals to donate new or very gently used knapsacks, school sup-plies, lunch bags, and other supplies for students in need from Vaughan and Rich-mond Hill in grades junior kindergarten through Grade 12.
The drive runs from Tuesday, Aug. 4 to Fri-day, Sept. 4, with the first day of school being Sept. 8.
Other school items that are needed are: binders, paper, notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, glue, scissors, rulers, whiteout, hi-li-ters, markers, colouring pencils, wax crayons, math sets and calculators.
“Every small donation can be put towards creating a complete backpack gift,” said Mary Halper, community and family services repre-sentative for the Salvation Army.
“Last year, we helped 60 families (137 kids). Thank you in advance for partnering with us in this community project.”
Donations can be received during the month of August at 55 Newkirk Rd., Rich-mond Hill, L4C 3G4 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.
For more information, contact Mary Hal-bert at 905-737-0496 ext. 114 or email [email protected]

Markham and Vaughan each have $8 million heading to their municipal coffers.
Thornhill MP Peter Kent announced July 24 (on behalf of the infrastructure, commu-nities, and intergovernmental affairs minis-ter) that the first instalment of the 2015 fed-eral gas tax fund will be handed out to support municipal infra-structure proj-ects in Markham, Vaughan and other communi-ties across Ontar-io.
Kent joined with Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua on Wednesday to celebrate the funds coming to that munici-pality.
A total of almost $800 million dollars will flow to Ontario municipalities, said the MP’s press release.
In 2015-2016, more than $8 million dol-lars each will be made available to Markham
and Vaughan. Communities can use the tax fund
towards a range of projects, including: public transit, wastewater infrastructure, drinking water, solid waste management, community energy systems, local roads and bridges, capacity building, highways, local and regional airports, short-line rail, disaster mitigation, broadband and connec-tivity, brownfield redevelopment, culture, tourism, sport and recreation.
Between 2014 and 2024, close to $22 billion in funding will flow to communities across Canada through this gas tax fund, according to the Conservative government.
Of this, Ontario municipalities will receive an estimated $8 billion in new federal infra-structure funding.
The Canadian government’s annual $2-billion tax fund for municipal infrastruc-ture provides predictable, long-term funding for Canadian municipalities to help build and revitalize local infrastructure while cre-ating jobs and long-term prosperity.

Monster vehicle fit for prince
By TIM [email protected]
When Monaco’s Prince Albert saw the black, seven-tonne, armour-plated Con-quest Knight XV he said: “Canada is such a friendly country and makes such a beast of a vehicle”.
Thornhill resident William Maizlin, who conceived of the huge four-wheeler, helped construct the prototype — on the King City/Aurora border — and founded the company that built the Knight XV, loves to tell the story about his brush with Monaco royalty.
Prince Albert’s reaction when he saw the “beast” at a high-end car show in Mona-co typifies the usual eye-popping stares it draws wherever it appears.
At a base price of $629,000 US, and an average price of about $800,000 US when extras are added on, this vehicle isn’t for the average driver.
NBA superstar Dwight Howard has one, as does a prince from the United Arab Emir-ates, among 15 other owners.
“We wanted to do something different,” said Maizlin.
“We built a vehicle based on military designs that would have that ‘Wow’ factor and at the same time would have a lot of room on the inside.”
The Knight XV is built out of ballistic, hardened steel and weighs about twice as
much as a Hummer. It’s a security vehicle that provides armoured protection with armoured glass, as well.
Maizlin said the armoured protection can be from 32 mm to 89 mm thick, depending on the request of the client.
“It’s like you’re driving in an armoured cocoon and you’re in the lap of luxury. There are leather seats that are hand-stitched with a high-end finish,” said Maizlin, who left the company about a year ago after a dispute with his partner and is striking out on his own to begin his own company.
The Conquest Knight XV is still close to his heart, however.
He said only 17 have been made, since it takes 4,500 man-hours to build each one, about seven to eight months of production time.
Until last year, the car was built in a fac-tory at Bayview and Hwy. 7 in Thornhill. It’s now built in Toronto.
For Maizlin, clients have come in two different types: those who want security in certain places around the globe and those who want to collect.
He said, so far, nobody has been shot at while riding in one.
It’s “based on military designs that would have that ‘wow’ factor”

Canadians anticipate green light for Italian driver’s license
BY TIM [email protected]
Next time Vaughan resident Ralph Cinelli heads over to Italy, he won’t be driven to dis-traction over rules around renting a vehicle or driving in the “Old” country.
That’s because an impending agreement between Canada and Italy will allow the holder of a valid driver’s licence in one coun-try to easily obtain a valid licence in the other during an extended stay.
Cinelli, who visits Italy every other year for an extended holiday of five or six weeks, said once the agreement in principle between the close G7 countries is final it will make his life a whole lot easier.
The 70-year-old Woodbridge resident, who came to Canada in 1956 when he was 11 years old, and has relatives in Cosen-za, Calabria, said, “we’ve got to do a lot of running around,” to get all the paper work needed to allow him to drive while in Italy as things currently stand.
It will be much smoother for him and also when relatives come from Italy for a visit too.
The deal must be ratified by the Canadian government as well as the Italian govern-ment and requires sign-off by the provinces and territories too before it becomes official.
The Italian-Canadian population of Vaughan is just under 100,000 or about 33 per cent of its total and there are about 1.5 million Italian-Canadians across the country.
Julian Fantino, Vaughan MP and Asso-ciate Minister of National Defence, spoke about the agreement in principle on behalf of Rob Nicholson, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, which negotiated the deal with Italy.
Currently, there are a number of rules and regulations required to allow Canadians to obtain a valid Italian driver’s licence. Among other requirements, the procedures include a
driving theory test, six hours of practice driv-ing and a road test. Italian citizens in Canada must undergo similar procedures, based on the official requirements of the province or territory in which they are staying.
The agreement-in-principle, if ratified, would do away with much of these require-ments.
Vaughan MP Julian Fantino, associ-ate minister of national defence, hailed the agreement-in-principle and called for provinces and territories across Canada to ratify it.
“For the 1.5 million Italian-Canadians, many who frequently travel to visit family and friends in Italy, this agreement will be a major benefit as it will pave the way for the removal of a significant and costly burden on their visits. It is my hope that the prov-inces and territories will now work swiftly to implement this arrangement.”
A new arrangement would make it easier for Canadians to obtain an Italian license.

Finding a trustworthy and experienced real estateagent can help make the process of buying ahome much less stressful.
How to Find theRIGHT REAL ESTATE AGENT
effort. Those in the market for an agent to help navigate the home buying process shouldconsider the following tips.
FIND A BUYER’S AGENT.Real estate agents are often affiliated with sellers instead of buyer’s. This means their primarygoal is to help the seller and not the buyer. When shopping around for a real estate agent, askcompanies about their buyer’s agents. Buyers should always have someone with their interestsin mind, and not the interests of the sellers.
FIND SOMEONE WITH A TRACK RECORD.Real estate can be an exciting and financially rewarding industry in which to work. As a result,lots of people want to be real estate agents, even though few succeed and last a long time.When interviewing real estate agents, inquire about their history in the business. A moreexperienced agent will make things far less stressful and easier, and a long career indicatesthey are good at what they do.
A real estate agent with a long history in the business will likely be a full-time agent as well.Prospective buyers should look for a full-time agent, which is not as common as some buyersmight think. Many agents work part-time, and buyers could receive less attention as a result.
DON’T PLACE TOO MUCH EMPHASISON AGENCY SIZE.Real estate agencies come in all shapes and sizes. When it comes to ability, the size of theagency should not factor in. A smaller independent agency can be just as qualified and reliableas one of the major franchise agencies. Buyers who find someone they trust should go withthat person, regardless of how big or small their agency is.
GET A REFERRAL.Friends and family members who have been through the buying process before might be greatresources. Buyers looking in “Town X” who have friends or family already living there shouldconsult those friends or family and ask for any agent referrals. Those relocating because ofwork should ask their company to refer an agent. Chances are companies have relocatedemployees in the past and might have a strong relationship with an agency in town.
Buying a home is often a difficult thing to do. The stress of making such a big financialcommitment is a struggle for many home buyers, whether they have purchased a homein the past or are doing so for the first time.
One way to make the process a lot less anxiety-ridden is to work with a real estateagent you can trust. Those who have previously purchased a home might already havea strong relationship with a real estate agent. But for those moving out of their currentlocation or buying for the first time, finding the right real estate agent requires some

On November 1, 2013, ExpertMortgage launched the “85-Alive”program in Ontario. Theconcept was simple: as longas you had a pulse, ExpertMortgage would provide youwith a home equity loan, upto 85 percent of the valueof your property. No jobrequired. Bad credit, OK.
The reason why ExpertMortgage could offer a “noquestions asked” lendingprogram, while the majorbanks could not, is that theyrepresent over 200 privatelenders who lend strictlyon property value. Thesesubprime lenders specializein mortgage clients whohave had some bad luck, andneed a helping hand untilthey get back on their feet.
The program has beenso successful that ExpertMortgage can barely keepup with the volume ofcalls. To help fund thisunexpectedly large numberof borrowers, it has partneredup with dozens moreprivate lenders.
Licensed Mortgage AgentPuneet Garg, Expert Mortgage’s“85-Alive” representative forthe GTA Region, says, “We’reseeing mostly homeownersbehind on mortgage andproperty taxes. The banksare refusing to restructuretheir loans. Many of thesepeople have lost jobs due tothe bad economy... or they’reself-employed. Unless youare a perfect applicant, thebank doesn’t want to talkto you.”
But not everyone condonesExpert Mortgage’s easylending criteria. A local realestate agent with 25 years ofexperience, who has askedto remain anonymous, says,“When this market turnsdown, it’s going to get ugly!It’s utter financial suicidefor Expert Mortgage to begiving money away so easilyto clients without the abilityto make payments. I’d besurprised if they’re still inbusiness five years fromnow.”
Nonetheless, homeowners
like Anita P. don’t see a problemwith the program. Whenquestioned on how she planson making payments on hermortgage when she has noincome, Anita responds, “Wewere four months behind onour mortgage and they savedour house. My husbandhas been unemployed fornine months. He won’t beunemployed forever. Weused the 85-Alive loan to payoff all our debt. We also had$25,000 left over that we putin the bank for emergencies.And to make life easy, theyworked it out so we have nomortgage payments for 12months.”

Planting seeds of optimismcomes in many forms
I met up with a good friend recently, who is now retired and spends much of his time planting gardens and cultivating the beauti-ful property he is blessed to call home.
He spends hours upon hours tilling new soil, adding seeds and digging up the weeds that prevent his flowers from growing to their full potential.
It was quite inspiring to hear about all he had done and to see the photographs of his achievements.
Later on, our conversation turned to other topics, such as the world in which we live and the struggles we endure in society. I shared some of the coaching work I’m doing and some of my views about how things could be different.
Though we had a wonderful exchange of ideas, I couldn’t help but be taken aback at a comment he made about some of my perceptions with respect to our troubles on this planet and human nature.
‘No great artist ever sees things
as they are. If he did, he would
cease to be an artist’
He said that although he admired my altruistic view, he and I were different because he lived in what he called “the real world”.
It struck me as odd because his words regarding the world seemed to contradict his thoughts and actions with respect to his own small piece of it, the property on which he resided.
There are those who might argue, for instance, that it’s unrealistic to spend hun-dreds of dollars and hours planting annu-al flowers that will be gone in a few short months.
Yet he didn’t see it that way. Sure, he could live on that piece of land
made up mostly of dirt and rocks, but instead he chose to see what it could become. That choice not only creates joy for himself, but
also for those who visit.He has become an artist, with his canvas
being the earth itself.Oscar Wilde once said, “No great artist
ever sees things as they are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist”.
What my friend could not understand at the time we spoke is that we are, in fact, very much the same. We are both artists, but we use different mediums.
I, too, spend countless hours in the dirt, tilling soil and pulling the weeds that prevent me, and my clients from growing a better garden in our minds.
I will not surrender to an environ-ment that’s often times filled with negative thoughts and feelings that I believe could be more beautiful and I encourage others to do likewise.
I’ve been fortunate to see some incredible flowers blossom to spectacular proportions over the years and I have also seen some that have withered on the vine.
But just like my friend, rather than surren-der to a dismal landscape, I choose to keep planting anyway.

“It’s a miracle, an absolute miracle,” exclaimed Rinaldo Lorenzoni.
For four days and three nights his son, Mark, has been wandering the streets of Vaughan and then Toronto during the year’s most searing heatwave.
The 33-year-old Vaughan man, who has suffered from mental health issues, had been missing since Sunday, when he left his home to go on a walk.
His parents were worried sick over his disappearance, wondering how he’d survive without money, a phone or bank cards.
“It’s amazing, what a relief,” Rinaldo added. “I had a feeling he was still alive, but I kept thinking, four days in the heat…he might have collapsed and then what?”
Hours before his discovery his family kept reliving his agitated state the night before and how he’d been missing his medication doses for his depressive disorder over the past few months.
At the end of his journey, Mark found himself at a Toronto shopping plaza near
Grateful family happy for son’s returnKipling Avenue and The Queensway.
Luckily a concerned member of the pub-lic discovered him and called the authorities for him to be picked up.
He was then brought to St. Joseph’s hos-pital on Tuesday.
Not speaking to anyone, it was only after a member of staff at the hospital recognized the man from his picture in the media that the police were called on Wednesday after-noon.
His mother, Maria, said she didn’t know much about how he made it as far as he did, but she said staff had cleaned up her son and he had been admitted into hospital.
“When I saw him, he looked completely shell shocked, and very dehydrated,” she said. “Now, I just feel relief and gratitude. I’m so happy.”
Meanwhile, in Vaughan, his family rejoiced at the news.
Mark’s sister Linda said she had been posting missing posters near her former Rexdale home prior to hearing the news.
“I’m just in total shock right now,” she said over the phone as family and friends
celebrated the news in the background. “He may suffer in other areas, but he’s very smart when it comes to transit and directions and obviously survival.”
She added that she’s still mystified how Mark could have made it to Toronto with-out money and with his condition that can manifest itself as social anxiety.
“He’s a man of few possessions, so I don’t think he would have left with much,” she said. “I’m just glad he’s found and safe.”
During the search York Regional Police had search teams scouring the woods near
the family home at Major Mackenzie Drive and Islington Avenue.
Drones and helicopters had also been flying overhead and ATVs searching the nearby woods.
Maria said she wants to thank family, friends, strangers and police who helped in the search.
“We hope to give back to the community for what they have done for us,” she added. “We have a long road ahead. He needs help, he needs to be on a treatment plan.”
Mark Lorenzoni, 33, was found in Toronto yesterday. He was reported missing after he left home to go for walk at about 8 a.m. on Sunday.

In the end AS Roma Pri-mavera emerged with a 5-3 victory in penalty kicks fol-lowing a 2-2 tie during regu-lation time.
AS Roma Primavera opened the scoring in the 45th minute when forward Edoardo Soleri beat the off-side trap, tipped the ball past rushing TFC II goal-keeper Filippo Di Bennardo, and tapped the ball into the empty net.
Just before halftime, TFC II got the equalizer on a goal from Raheem Edwards, who received a through ball into the box from
Mo Babouli and chipped the ball past Roma’s goal-keeper.
With the score tied at 1-1 through the opening half, TFCII head coach Jason Bent subbed his entire lineup with the exception of Sal Bernal and inserted Marcus God-inho, Emeka Ononye, Rob-ert Boskovic, Mark-Anthony Kaye, Liam Fraser, Anthony
Osorio, Massimo Mirabelli, Edwin Rivas, Jordan Ham-ilton, and the youngest Red on the pitch, 16-year-old goalkeeper Brogan Engbers.
Bernal was later subbed for Marcos Nunes and the substitute had a huge impact, putting TFCII up in the 80th minute.
Rivas found an open Nunes, who then placed a right-footed shot towards the far post, beating Roma Primavera’s goalkeeper.
A few inutes later though, AS Roma Primavera responded to tie the game at 2-2 when midfielder Conor Borg tied the match up in the 85th minute.
With the match being a friendly, both clubs agreed
the final outcome would be determined on penalty kicks if the match ended in a tie through regulation play.
As Roma Primavera ulti-mately prevailed in penal-ties, defeating TFCII 5-3 in the shootout.
During the shootout, Babouli was unlucky on his penalty, striking the wrong end of both posts after beat-ing the Roma goalkeeper. Prior to their friendly against AS Roma Primavera, TFC II snapped a four-game los-ing streak in United Soccer League play and recorded their first win at the Ontar-io Soccer Centre, defeating Charleston Battery 1-0 last Friday.
With the match scoreless at the half, Skylar Thomas scored the game winner in the 89th minute, the first goal scored by Toronto at their home stadium.
Now 4-9-3-15 and occu-pying 10th place in the East-ern Conference standings, TFC II is scheduled to host second-place Louisville City FC, 10-3-5-35, at the Ontario Soccer Centre Sat-urday at 3 p.m.
TFC II loses friendly in penalty kicks

ven though Sy Ben-lolo’s life was tragically cut short at age 40, he touched a lot of people through his music and
his personality. “Sy was a very lovable, friendly,
funny and talented guy,” said his cousin Marc Saltzman. “Everybody who knew Sy loved him.”
Benlolo, who grew up in North York before moving to Thornhill, started playing music at age 10 and never stopped.
And he was more than just a musician. He was a performer.
Growing up, Benlolo and Saltz-man were very close, like brothers, Saltzman said. They were even in a band Remedy together.
“Music really was our glue,” said Saltzman. “We were in the band together, so every waking moment from age 10 or 11 all the way to age 25, it was all about the music.”
Some of his favourite memories of Sy are from that time.
“My fondest memories of him would be playing in front of large groups, and we’ve had some amazing gigs as a band where we’ve opened up for The Tragically Hip, we opened up for Goo Goo Dolls, and we opened for Bare-naked Ladies,” he said.
“Seeing him turn around with a smile on his face, ear to ear when the crowd was going nuts, is some-thing that is forever burned in my memory.”
As they got older, Saltzman began a career in technology, he
Thornhill’s Sy Benlolo was both a music fan — of KISS, especially — and a performer and will be remembered for his passions.
got married and had children. But Benlolo stayed in music.
He started performing at dance clubs, playing his guitar over the DJ’s music.
His stage name became Sy Sylver and he travelled the world doing what he loved.
But music was not his only pas-sion. He also loved children.
“Even though he was single, he loved kids, as well. He was everybody’s uncle Sy,” said Saltz-man, “including my three kids, they would get so excited when he would come in the door.”
Sadly, Benlolo died in April 2012 after having an anaphylactic reaction to some of his medication while working in Mexico.
“It was a real loss when he passed away, it was a real shock,” said Saltzman.
“The irony is that someone so full of life with a larger-than-life personality, very extroverted and funny, the fact that he passed away was such a disconnect. It was so opposite of what you would expect.”
To help keep his memory alive,
Saltzman has helped organize Sylebration, an annual event that raises money for the music therapy program at The Hospital For Sick Children.
“The point of the event is to celebrate Sy’s life to keep his memory alive,” said Saltzman. “And we fuse his two passions, which are music and kids.”
There have been three Sylebra-tions so far, each event drawing hundreds of people.
Organizers even have support from KISS, who not only made a small promotional video for the event, but also donated tickets and VIP passes to a concert, along with a guitar signed by all four members.
“He was a huge KISS fan,” said Saltzman. “Since he was old enough to walk.”
The event has raised $150,000, which Saltzman said is a testa-ment to how many people were touched by Benlolo.
“It’s not easy to do that year after year and get hundreds and hundreds of people out, but because it’s Sy, we’re able to do it.”
While Benlolo did not know about the program at Sick Kids Hospital, Saltzman said he would have loved it.
“He used to do that for family members,” he said. “He used to love playing for people to make them feel better. That’s Sy.”
And he would be honoured that so much had been raised in his name.
“I think he would be very humbled at the attendance and support of such a charity in his
honour, in his name and in his memory,” he said.
“I think he would be blown away at the amount of interest and support for him years after he has passed on. He’d be proud
that we are using that money to improve the life of kids.”
To find out more, visit www.sylebra-tion.com.
“Adored by children, universally respected and an inspiration to her peers, Mrs. McCluskey was a tireless volunteer, quick to defl ect the praise heaped on her.”

Thornhill’s Mitchell Marner signed a three-year Toronto Maple Leaf contract Tuesday.
Marner now officially a Leaf
The Toronto Maple Leafs got Mitchell Marner to sign his name on the dotted line Tuesday.
A first-round draft pick of the Maple Leafs and the fourth overall selection in the 2015 National Hockey League entry draft, the 18-year-old Thornhill resident was inked by the Maple Leafs to a three-year entry level contract.
Toiling last season with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League, Marner finished second in OHL scoring with 126 points (44 goals, 82 assists) in 63 regular season games. The 2014-15 OHL all-star also added 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) in seven playoff contests.
In two seasons with the Knights, Marner had 185 points (57 goals, 128 assists) and 77 penalty minutes in 127 regular season games.
At the international level, he helped Team Canada capture a gold medal at the 2014 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup, recording seven points in five games.

The Calder Cup will make a scheduled stop in Thornhill today, Thursday, July 30.
Bringing the trophy — emblem-atic of supremacy in the American Hockey League — to Thornhill will be Andrew Crescenzi.
A forward this past season with the Manchester Monarchs, where he amassed seven goals and eight assists in 54 regular season games and three helpers during the post-season, Crescenzi was a member of the club which skated off with this year’s AHL title.
As one of the perks for being on the championship squad, each team member has the honour of possess-ing the Calder Cup for one day.
A former member of the Thorn-hill Rebels and Markham Island-ers while honing his minor hockey skills, Crescenzi, 22, will have the Calder Cup Thursday and will put it on display at the Thornhill Commu-nity Centre’s Fireside Lounge from 6 to 8 p.m.
Those wishing to see the Calder Cup can do so and have their photo taken with Crescenzi during that timeframe.
Crescenzi is hoping people will make a charitable donation to Mosaic’s Care Connexion.
Donations of $20 and up will be provided with a charitable tax receipt.
The Thornhill Community Cen-tre is at 7755 Bayview Ave. at John.
