Amici Ladies, a women’s bowling league, is celebrating its 65th anniversary this year.
BY AdAm [email protected]
If Dina Fantin’s family or friends need to track her down on a Tuesday afternoon, they know exactly where to find her — at least between September and May.
That’s when the 82-year-old Vaughan resident hits the lanes at Woodbridge Bowl, along with 63 other women who are part of Amici Ladies, a bowling league with roots stretching back 65 years.
“I just like being with peo-
ple I’m comfortable with,” said Fantin, who has rarely missed an afternoon of bowling during the last 47 years. “I can laugh, I can cry, I can tell them something — and there’s no gossiping.”

quarter century.While there is enough
cemetery land overall to accommodate them, a cemetery needs analysis by consultant LEES + Associ-ates Architects and Planners flagged a number of con-cerns.
For example, Newmarket is in urgent need of new cem-etery lands.
Georgina, East Gwillim-bury, Aurora and Richmond Hill will soon reach a critical stage, according to the report, which some in the cemetery industry praised as possibly the first municipal compre-hensive review of cemetery lands in Canada.
Some religious com-munities, notably Roman Catholics, are running out of dedicated cemetery lands, the analysis said.
Adding to the pressure is the fact that Toronto is run-ning out of graveyard space and more residents will have to be buried outside the city, it added.
Given the fact that it usu-ally takes more than a decade to locate land, get approvals and build a new cemetery, many experts in the field are growing increasingly con-cerned about running out of graveyards in the region.
While experts have praised the region for taking the lead on the issues, they have also expressed frustration that municipal politicians, in gen-eral, don’t plan for cemeter-ies as they do with houses, hospitals, schools, recreations centres and other amenities that support growing com-munities.
Because graveyards don’t pay property taxes, cemeter-ies aren’t welcome the same way other types of develop-ment are, they said.
As far as we know, humans are the only living creatures
aware of our mortality, Stroh told the audience Monday night.
“Everything that we do is shaped in the face of death. Death is not something that happens at the end, we’re always conscious of it. That’s why we take out insurance, that why we look when we cross the street,” he said.
“Does immortality answer the tragedy of death? In other words, if you believe that in some way you will live forev-er, does that remove the trag-edy of death? Does it become OK? If we live forever, what will it be like? Surely, it won’t be exactly the same as now.”
People experience an enduring sense of longing on Earth at what we are missing here and what is hinted at after we die, Hill said.
“Heaven is not actually another place like a distant galaxy…Heaven is where God dwells eternally…We like to hijack the notion of heaven and turn it into a place of wish fulfillment,” he said.
“It also turns into a con-trivance for denial, our mor-tality. This commonly takes the form of a naïve certainty that when we die, our life will simply carry on in some new, comfortable, resort-like setting, accompanied by rela-tives, at least the ones we like, and perhaps a pet dog…It’s painful, in fact, to imagine the end of relationships. It’s dif-ficult to imagine simply ceas-ing to exist.”
We are mortal, made of dust and to dust we shall return, Hill said. At the same time, when Jesus was asked if the eternal God would aban-don his friends at the time of death, Jesus said He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living, Hill said.
“Only trust in God can really quell our fears of death. Mere speculations about heaven are a pretty flimsy foundation for hope. For Jesus, heaven was certainly not a place to escape to while this world goes to hell in a hand basket.”
However, over the centu-ries , the Christian church has hijacked the idea of heaven by using it as an instrument of control, Hill said.
“When the Jesus move-ment became part of the establishment, the hope of heaven and the fear of hell became the perfect tool for terrifying people into confor-mity,” he said.
“’Unless you believe what the church teaches and do what the church commands, you’re going to hell.’ Of course, nobody could prove that, but, then again, nobody could disprove it either, which made it a perfect tool for social dominance.”
The most important thing that Christians learned from Jesus is how to die because He died courageously, trust-ing that the sacrifice of His life would unlock the prison of fear in which humanity is locked, Hill said.
For Muslims, death is not extinction, but an alternate state of being, Takim said.
When someone dies, the first words Muslims say is, “From God we come and to Him we shall return. That is meaning a return from where we came,” he said.
The Qur’an sees death as an encounter, not with God, but with angels, Takim said.
“Death is a continuation of life in a different form. The reference and reminders of death are simply to take death seriously because there is a sense of accountability in Islam that after we die, before we go to either heaven or hell, that God will account for us,” he said.
“Death challenges us to morally elevate ourselves above our mundane exis-tence because death is con-nected to accountability.”
It is important for people of different faiths to come together to talk about mean-ingful issues such as death, Natalie Doucet, a pastoral associate at St. Luke’s, said.
“In a world defined by plu-ralism, the need for interfaith dialogue is now greater than ever. A true dialogue is aimed at gaining understanding and acceptance in spite of differ-ences of opinion and convic-tions,” she said.
“Genuine dialogue leaves itself open to other people’s views, while, at the same time, exploring our common ground and building on that. I believe that events such as the one we are having today promotes genuine dialogue and is one of the most effec-tive weapons in the struggle against ignorance, prejudice, intolerance and fanati-cism…In the end, we are one human family under God.”
SPECIAL SERIES: PART 3 of 3
‘Death always wins. Everybody dies’Discussion comes as York Region leaders try to address the issue of what to do about its deadBY LISA [email protected]
Everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.
That provocative issue was part of an interfaith discussion, at times purpose-ful and other times light-hearted, exploring the mean-ing of death and immortal-ity from the perspective of Christian, Jewish and Muslim religions.
Hosted by Mosaic Inter-faith, a group of York Region residents of many religions including Christianity, Juda-ism, Islam, Sikhism and Zoro-astrianism, and the Organi-zation for Islamic Learning, the May 16 event at St. Luke’s Catholic Church in Thornhill included about 100 people of all faiths.
It featured guest speakers Rabbi Michael Stroh, rabbi emeritus with Temple Har Zion, Rev. Canon John Hill, a presbyter with the Anglican Archdiocese of Toronto, and professor Liyakat Takim, the Sharjah Chair in Global Islam at McMaster University.
Death and immortality are issues that touch a nerve with people like no other, Stroh said.
“There is no other topic that raises as much anxiety and ambivalence other than a discussion of death,” he said.
“We all find ourselves in a battle of the forces of life against the forces of death… There is a tragic dimension to life because, at least appar-ently, death always wins. Everybody and everything dies.”
The discussion comes as York Region leaders try to address the issue of what to do about the region’s dead.
About 232,000 York resi-dents will die over the next

Coyote outside Maple school has moved on
It’s back to regular routines for kids at Maple’s Teston Vil-lage Public School after a prowling coyote hasn’t been seen in a week.
A York Regon District School Board spokesperson said the coyote that had been hanging around the school-yard at the public elemen-tary school for more than 10 days has moved on, leaving children free to enjoy recess and lunch breaks after being cooped up for their safety.
“The kids are back in their normal routine with outdoor recess,” said Christina Choo-Hum, a YRDSB spokesper-son.
“They haven’t seen the coyote in over a week,” she added, noting “Vaughan Animal Services is support-ing the school and patrolling the area.”
Parents had been worried about the safety of their chil-dren since seeing the coyote on school grounds back on
May 9.“I’m scared for my chil-
dren,” Nadeem Mahmood told The Citizen in a story on May 19. Mahmood has three daughters attending Teston Village Public School, outside which the coyote had found a home.

Woodbridge is going to be hopping Sunday as residents flock to the historic downtown core for the 20th annual Great Humber River Frog Race.
Festivities get under way at 1 p.m with a barbecue, children’s activities, and edu-cational games at Wallace House, tree caching — using your cellphone or tablet —
along the banks of the Hum-ber River and, at 2 p.m., a Jane Jacob’s Historical Walk of the village.
The race begins at 3 p.m. with hundreds of plastic frogs tossed off the Woodbridge Avenue bridge into the Hum-ber River to flow downstream to Hwy. 7 where they will be scooped out.
There’s $1,000 in cash priz-es to be won.
Proceeds from this year’s event, organized by the Rota-ry Club of Woodbridge, go to support Creating Alterna-tives.
Tickets, which cost $5 each, can be purchased at Woodbridge Fair Grounds, 100 Porter Ave..

LETTERS TO THE EDITORCOLUMN
Marney Beck
Concern grows for rising risk of Lyme disease in York
here are so many health concerns to worry about that it may be tempting to ignore or downplay
fears of Lyme disease.After all, news coverage with
photographs of newborns with tiny heads in South America make us fear the Zika virus, especial-ly with experts predicting it will make inroads in Florida and many southern states in the U.S. where many snowbirds spend their vaca-tions.
Yet Lyme disease is here — now — and has been called the “fastest growing infectious disease in Can-ada”. One researcher predicts that 80 per cent of the population in eastern and central Canada would be at risk of Lyme disease by 2020 because of climate change.
Markham Stouffville MP, Dr. Jane Philpott, our minister of health, kicked off a national con-ference last week in Ottawa on developing a federal framework on Lyme disease — a national strategy to better prevent, diag-nose and treat the disease.
Sadly — and frighteningly — infected ticks that carry this debili-tating, multi-symptom disease are here now, in York Region forests, parks and even private yards.
How do we know this? Veterinarians in Aurora and
other municipalities are finding infected ticks on pets.
A Richmond Hill naturopath who specializes in helping patients with lyme disease is seeing an ever-growing number of people desperate for diagnosis and treat-ment.
Stories posted to our website, such as heartbreaking features on a Thornhill woman who is con-vinced she picked up the disease from her own back garden, and another young student from Rich-mond Hill who started a blog to help others cope with symptoms, get huge reaction and “hits” — as did a story just a few weeks ago about an Aurora vet sounding the alarm.
Nationally, 100 Lyme sufferers presented their own personal sto-
ries at the Federal Framework on Lyme Disease conference.
They highlighted maddening battles to get diagnosed, or frustrat-ing negative diagnoses by doctors in Canada. Many Lyme patients feel like “lepers” or say they are “ridiculed” by doctors who say their symptoms are all imagined.
They told stories about how they couldn’t hold down a job or even leave the house because of symptoms that are debilitating or that sometimes mimic diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis.
In York Region, we can take some comfort that regional health authorities are presenting a much stronger awareness campaign for residents under the ‘Fight the Bite’ theme.
But some local experts say the region’s statement that there were “seven reported cases of Lyme dis-ease in 2015 ... and all were found to be travel related” gives people enjoying our parks and forests a false sense of security.
Those who take the trouble to read and follow the links for Lyme disease on the Region of York web-site will see that anyone who finds and removes a tick is encouraged to bring it to a public health office in Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill or Newmarket for testing. (Go to york.ca and click the links for ‘health’ and then ‘lyme disease’.)
We all want to enjoy the great outdoors this spring and summer, but we all need to do so safely.
An active regional Lyme group meets each month in York Region to share information and hear from experts; you can find the York North Lyme Group on Facebook or email [email protected].
T
Project not suitable for plazaRe: Backlash intensifies over taller Sobeys plaza project, yorkregion.com.
My husband and I live in the area and we attended the original meeting when Rio-Can told us about their original misguided proposed plan for the Sobeys plaza.
I stood up and voiced my strong con-cerns and I felt like nobody listened to any-thing any of the residents had to say. It was as though RioCan placated the residents and told us what they “thought” we wanted to hear.
The second meeting with RioCan was a complete sham, as they had already presented their proposal to the City [of Vaughan] before the meeting even took place.
We, along with the rest of the commu-nity, are frustrated and angry because this is not just any mall-shopping area. It may be the only kosher plaza in all of Canada.
There are people who come from out of the city just to shop at the kosher Sobeys. Nowhere else will you find a kosher Sobeys.
The rest of the mall also serves the Jew-ish community, with kosher restaurants and kosher medications at the Shopper’s Drug Mart.
The traffic study they did was not done just before Shabbat or near a Jewish holiday when the parking lot is so busy they need traffic officers there just to keep the peace.
If you remove parking spaces or add extra people because of the condo, a bad problem will only get much worse.
This plaza is not the right place for a condo. It doesn’t even follow the city’s offi-cial plan and it’s right next to a school.
RioCan talked about doing the work at night so that it wouldn’t disrupt the school, but what about the residents it would dis-rupt during the night hours when they are proposing to do the work?
I would hope that our councillors and the Ontario Municipal Board turn RioCan down flat.
There is plenty of other land available for condos (not that the City of Vaughan needs any further condos).
Thornhill is overcrowded as it is. The roads were never built to handle the
amount of traffic they get now. Crowding during the morning and evening commute is really horrible now. Can you imagine what it will be like with a 20-storey condo added to the mix?
I really hope that this proposal is turned down and RioCan is sent packing. They are arrogant and show a total disregard for our community.
There is no place for this project in our community.
I hope someone will listen to us and do something to stop this development.

Five men have been arrested and charged in connection with a series of robberies in York and Peel regions.
Investigators with the York Regional Police Hold-Up Unit, with the assistance of the Peel Regional Police Central Robbery Unit, made the arrests in connection with seven robberies in a four-month period that began Feb. 17.
The suspects are believed to be responsible for robberies in Bramp-ton, Markham and Vaughan.
In each of the robberies, men - some of them armed with guns - entered either gas stations or conve-nience stores, making demands for cash, cigarettes and lottery tickets.
Suspects were identified with the assistance of video surveillance.
On Friday, May 20, shortly after 4 a.m., officers arrested four men in a vehicle in front of a residence in Toronto, after they were suspected of committing a convenience store robbery in Brampton.
Located in the vehicle were a loaded .22-calibre handgun and a replica firearm, police said.
A fifth suspect turned himself in to police on Monday.
Charged are Sagar Sharma, 19, of Toronto; Tegh Singh, 22, of Bramp-ton; Charanjeet Singh Kler, 19, of Vaughan; Gurtej Dhaliwal, 18, of Brampton; and Ajay Sharma, 19, of Toronto.
Charges include robbery with a firearm, disguise with intent and various weapons offences.
The accused appeared at the Ontario Court of Justice in New-market on Tuesday for bail hearings. All of the accused are scheduled to appear next at the Ontario Court of Justice in Newmarket on June 3.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the York Regional Police Hold-Up Unit at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 6631, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, leave an anonymous tip online at www.1800222tips.com, or text your tip by sending TIPYORK and your message to CRIMES (274637) starting with the word YORK.

REGIONAL NEWS
Paramedics speed up response times despite 30 per cent boost in callsBY LISA QUEEN
If you need an ambulance, you’ll be pleased to hear York Region para-medics are getting to emergencies faster than ever.
In 2015, the region’s 550-plus paramedics transported about 74,000 patients to hospital. That’s up from 57,000 in 2010, the region’s Emergency Medical Services Chief Norm Barrette said.
Between 2010 and 2015, 17,000 more people called for an ambu-lance to take them to hospital, a
jump of 30 per cent. Nine times out of 10, paramedics got to a patient’s side in 11 minutes and eight sec-onds in 2015. That is an improve-ment from 12 minutes and 52 sec-onds in 2010.
“Why we are really wanting to recognize the great work of York Region’s paramedics is that the need for paramedics has grown at the same time the effectiveness of achieving shorter response times has been successfully achieved,” Barrette said.
“You put both of those factors
together and… paramedics services in York Region is delivering excep-tional services.”
The decrease in response time is all the more impressive because paramedics are encountering more congestion on the roads, Barrette said.
EMS has taken innovated steps to improve response times, includ-ing texting paramedics to guide them to patients more quickly, a public education campaign called #Get2UFaster that informs residents of steps they can take, such as pull-
ing over for flashing lights, unlock-ing doors and clearing a path to a patient, to help paramedics respond more quickly to emergencies, reduc-ing the amount of time it takes para-medics to transfer patients to hospi-tals’ care and expanding community paramedicine programs that reduce avoidable 911 calls.
Calls to paramedics have increased during the last five years because the region’s population has increased and aged during that time.
“As more and more residents
enter into their senior years, then a higher percentage of the population has a higher probability of needing paramedics. That’s been the biggest driver,” Barrette said.
“From 2011 to 2021, 49 per cent more residents will need to be trans-ported to hospital by paramedics and the big component of that drive was the demographic shift, the grow-ing population that will be moving into their senior years.”

Maple students at Special Olympics provincials
A group of students from Maple High School will be gunning for gold at the Special Olympics Pro-vincial School Championships next week.
The school has a team compet-ing in unified basketball, a sport where teams are comprised of players who have a disability and players who don’t.
The Special Olympics Provincial Championships takes place June 1 to 3 at Durham College and Osha-wa Civic Recreation Complex.
The competition features more than 800 students from across the province competing in one of five sports: bocce, basketball, soccer, track and field and floor hockey.
Teams qualified by participat-ing in regional qualifiers across Ontario this school year.
“The School Championships is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the on-going success of programs in the school system. For many students, it provides an opportunity to be part of a team and travel to competition” stated Glenn MacDonell, president and CEO of Special Olympics Ontario.
Road losing streak continues for Toronto FC II after loss to City Islanders
The road losing streak contin-ued Tuesday night for Toronto FC II as they dropped a 2-1 decision in Harrisburg to the City Island-ers in United Soccer League action.
Goals by Harrisburg’s Paul Wilson in the 26th minute and Aaron Wheeler in the 29th min-ute put TFC II in a 2-0 hole that they couldn’t dig out of.
It wasn’t until stoppage time
deep into the second half that Toronto’s Brian James was able to get a consolation marker for the visitors, who lost their third
straight on a three-game road trip.
The loss drops TFC II to two wins, six defeats and two draws after 10 games in the 30-game schedule.
It also leaves them in 12th place out of 14 teams in the USL’s Eastern Conference with just eight points.
TFC II has a chance to snap its streak when it hosts the Wilming-ton Hammerheads this Sunday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Ontario Soccer Centre in Vaughan

He’s certainly best known for his 1990s roles in Backdraft, Flatliners and Sliver but Baldwin brother Billy also has a passion for independent film.
And that’s what brought him to Vaughan last Thursday as the winner of this year’s Vaughan Film Festival’s Independent Leadership Award.
He follows in the footsteps of last year’s recipient, well-known charac-ter actor Michael Madsen.
Baldwin was on the red carpet at the Paramount Event Venue in Woodbridge, Thursday evening talk-ing about his interest in independent cinema and how dedicated he is to the craft.
“It’s absolutely critical to keep the independent film industry vibrant. It’s been in a downturn since the col-lapse of the economy in 2008-09-10, a lot of that venture capital that would infuse the funding of a slate of small films, $2-, $3-,$5-million films, that disappeared and we’re just start-ing to recover. I’d like to get it back to where we’re making lots of films in that $3- to $6-million window, to make that economically feasible at that level,” he said.
Baldwin, one of four acting broth-ers, said he appreciates the recogni-tion bestowed on him by the Vaughan Film Festival organizers. Smaller films need more financing to keep getting made and he points to an example
from about a decade ago. “I’ve been in the business 25 years
or so. When I did The Squid and the Whale, we did that for $900,000. It was Jeff Daniels and Laura Linney and Jesse Eisenberg and Anna Paquin
and me and a $900,000 budget so nobody got paid. So it would be nice to not have to sing for my dinner, to make a movie and make enough money; if I’m famous that’s great, if I’m rich that’s great, if I’m not that’s fine too, I just want to keep working,” said the Santa Barbara, Calif., based actor.
He praised the Vaughan Film Fes-tival, now completing its fourth sea-son, and its founders, Antonio Ienco and Mark Pagliaroli
I think it’s (VFF) great for Vaughan, I think this town, the whole greater metropolitan area of Toronto has grown, I’ve watched it grow the past 25 years. What’s happened out here (in Vaughan) is terrific. What Mark and Antonio have done by bring-ing the festival to Vaughan is great for short films, it’s great to bring the glamour and cultural advantages to Vaughan, to know that TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) is not the only show in town,” he said.
“I tip my cap to them. The indus-try has been wounded. It’s nice that people like Mark and Antonio are putting their money where their mouth is and really rolling up their sleeves and helping in the recovery to make the independent film and short
film market more vibrant again,” said Baldwin.
For Pagliaroli, Baldwin is a very worthy winner of the Independent Spirit Award.
“Billy’s been a strong supporter of independent film. He’s been a super-star, especially in the 1990s, but after the millennium he’s been catering to up-and-coming filmmakers, smaller projects, smaller budget films and it’s great because that’s what we’re all about. He’s a fantastic guy, very down to earth, easygoing and we’re excited to give him this award tonight,” he said.
VFF announced its award winners from this year’s festival at a sold-out gala at the Paramount on Thursday:
Best Picture winner was Nuvola; Best Director was Basil Khalil for Ave Maria; Best Actor was Mimmo Cot-icchio in Nuvola; Best Actress was Laetitia Martinucci in Omessa; Best Documentary was Ron Taylor: Dr. Baseball; and Best Cinematography was for Nuvola.

I encourage the people of our great city to support relief efforts in any way possible as Fort McMur-ray continues to battle the blaze and rebuild their community,” said Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua.

POLICE
BY JEREMY [email protected]
Canada’s largest ever ketamine bust, one of the nation’s most intriguing murder plots and a child pornography investigation that spanned 17 coun-tries were just three police probes feted at last week’s York Regional Police’s Appreciation Awards cer-emony in Vaughan.
It was in November 2010 when York opera-tors received a call from a panicked Markham woman who report-ed she’d just seen her mother killed and her father shot in the head. Initially, police were led to believe she was the victim, however over the following year, they would uncover an intricate web of lies, deceit and more than one mur-der plot as they looked into Jennifer Pan’s background, which involved a man her parents didn’t approve of.
In 2015, Pan, her former boyfriend, Daniel Wong, and their two associates Lenford Crawford and David Mylvaganam, were sentenced to 25 years in prison without parole.
A fifth man, Eric Carty, was eventually sentenced to 18 years after pleading guilty to helping organize the hit.
Homicide Det. Bill Courtice and Det. Al Cook received Excellence in Policing Awards at the din-ner.
Next in that category were officers from the drugs and vice grow team, including Det. Doug Bed-ford, who managed to locate and bring down a clandestine drug operation containing drugs with a street value of $2.5 million and more than $400,000 cash.
The April 2015 probe, dubbed Project Ice Castle, involved 150 officers from a number of agencies con-ducting 10 busts and locat-ing chemicals used in the production of the date rape
and party drug ketamine, which also doubles as a horse tranquilizer.
Officers in York police’s ICE unit received their due for their role in Project Hydra, a child pornography investigation that started in York Region before spread-ing all over the world.
In all, there were 57 arrests, 433 charges and five victims located as a result of the hard work of officers, including Det. Const. Brad Gallant.
But officers from across the region gathered at Woodbridge’s Par-amount confer-ence venue to not only the celebrate investigators, but also police involve-ment in the com-munity.
Insp. Lou Malbeuf, the former Sudbury Wolves’ goaltender, has managed to raise more than $150,000 for charities across the region with a number of sporting events, including the annual Rob Plunkett softball tournament that benefits Special Olympics.
Det. Const. Grayson Shillingford, the former Ottawa Renegade and Seat-tle Seahawk football player also accepted an award for community involvement, named after former York honorary Chief Herbert Carnegie.
The officer, who joined York police in 2008, was celebrated for the role he plays in coaching football at King’s Villanova College and helping at-risk youth.
Finally, crime analyst Cliff Aguiar claimed the Leo McArthur Civilian Rec-ognition Award for his work creating a LGBQT support network within the police with some 40 members and supporters and help-ing support York police’s Pride Parade float.
Police appreciation: a celebration of success

Women’s golf tourney in Thornhill boosts regional Hill House Hospice
An upcoming charity golf tournament for women members of the Thornhill Golf & Country Club in Thornhill will boost the regional Hill House Hospice facility.
The golf club’s Ladies Charity Committee, working hard since January, has organized a June 7 tournament to be played at the Thorn-hill golf course.
Featuring a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m., 18 holes on the long course and nine on the val-ley course, with a silent auction and lunch fol-lowing the tournament, the event has already raised more than $25,000. Organizers are opti-mistic they will reach their goal of $35,000 for Hill House Hospice through hole sponsors, silent auction and raffle items.
Based in the center of Richmond Hill, Hill House Hospice is the only residential pal-liative care facility in all of York Region. With a team of caring volunteers and staff dedicated to terminally-ill people and their families, the facility delivers high-quality hospice care in a home-like setting.
The facility provides a peaceful, comfort-able and meaningful environment for patients and their families, while caring for their physi-cal, emotional and spiritual needs.
Because Hill House Hospice is only partly funded by the Ministry of Health, it relies heavily on the generosity of individuals and corporations in the community to help finance patient care.
The Thornhill Golf & Country Club was established as a golf and country club in 1922 on Yonge Street in Thornhill and was open to both male and female members. In the very early years, a female player had to join with a male member and also play golf with him.
In the 1970s and 1980s, a group of about nine Thornhill Golf Club women made a presence for themselves at the club, playing together for many years as “the Prissies”. As women golfers made more progress in the sport, they became more of a force at the Thornhill club, establishing their own com-mittees and ladies golf sections with equal rights as male members.
Over the years, the Thornhill Golf & Coun-try Club has grown to 1,274 members. In addi-tion to having one of the most challenging and beautiful courses designed by renowned golf course architect Stanley Thompson, it has an active female membership. The club also welcomes families, offering curling, tennis, fitness, bridge, and social memberships.
In recent years, women members of the club have hosted an annual charity golf tour-nament to help various charities in the com-munity.

Who Else Would Like Relief From Painful NeuropathySymptoms….From the Privacy of Your Own Home?
Woodbridge, ON- A breakthrough in the treatment ofperipheral neuropathy is allowing two local doctorsto effectively provide relief from the numbness,tingling, burning, and stinging pain associated withthis condition.
Dr. Anthony Sancetta D.O. and Dr. Jonathan WalkerD.C. have developed a system so powerful andeffective that they have been training doctors all overNorth America to replicate their clinical results.
The best part is that the treatment can be performedon your own, in the privacy of your own home (moreabout that later)!
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to thenerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness,tingling, and the most debilitating balance problems.This damage is commonly caused by a lack of bloodflow to the nerves in the hands and feet which causesthe nerves to begin to degenerate due to lack ofnutrient flow.
As you can see in Figure 3, as the blood vessels thatsurround the nerves become diseased they shrivelup which causes the nerves to not get the nutrients
to continue to survive. When these nerves begin to
“die” they cause you to have balance problems, pain,
numbness, tingling, burning, and many additional
symptoms.
In order to determine if you’re a candidate for our home
based treatment protocol, we must first determine the
following:
1) What is the underlying cause?
2) How Much Nerve Damage Has Been Sustained.
NOTE: Once you have sustained 85% nerve loss,
there is nothing that we can do for you.
3) How much treatment will your condition require?
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes aspecialized low level light therapy (not to be confusedwith laser therapy) using light emitting diodetechnology. This technology was originally developedby NASA to assist in increasing blood flow.
The low level light therapy is like watering a plant.The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to growback around the peripheral nerves and provide themwith the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s likeaddingwater to a plant and seeing the roots growdeeperand deeper.
This is often combined with our Peripheral NerveRehab Stimulator (PRNS), a device that is used byphysicians all over the world, including the renownedCancer Treatment Centers of America to treatchemotherapy induced neuropathy symptoms.
New advances in medical technology now allow thisto be used at home, without having to travel to adoctor’s office multiple times a week for therapy. Ourdoctor developed this protocol when patients beganseeking out our office from as far away as Hamilton.They knew that in order to help patients sufferingneedlessly with neuropathy they would have to adapttheir treatment methods so patients could administerthe therapy on their own at home.
Our office provides a custom nutritional supportprogram to assist in nerve regeneration, monitoring,coaching, and weekly phone consultations.

Every day I am inspired by the people in the City of
Vaughan – their passion for the community, com-mitment to city-building and spirit of generos-ity. Vaughan is a socially responsible community with people who truly care about one another. We are blessed to have citizens who dedicate their time to giving back, and, for this, I am grateful.
Since becoming Mayor, it’s been my mission to move this city forward without leaving anyone behind. With every act of kindness and each dollar we fundraise, we are help-ing to make someone’s day brighter. It is important that we continue to work together to bring about positive change and nur-ture the spirit of giving in our city.
Each year, I am over-joyed to host the Mayor’s Gala and Golf Tourna-ment because of what it represents and who it sup-ports. These fundraisers
bring about an outpouring of compassion and it is amazing to see that people in Vaughan proudly rise to the occasion every time to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. Since 2011, these events have raised more than $3.3 million, and that is all thanks to the collec-tive efforts of our caring and giving citizens.
The Mayor’s Gala really is about changing lives and helping people. It truly defines our com-munity, as we are blessed with the ability and will-ingness to unite with the purpose of creating a place
that is vibrant, dynamic and inclusive. That is why proceeds from the Mayor’s Gala and Golf Tournament are distributed to more than 100 not-for-profit organizations providing essential services to the public. By doing this, we are helping thousands of people.
We have a proud tradi-tion in Vaughan of giving back to families in need and because of this, we have had a lasting positive impact on people’s lives. It is important to remember that we are privileged to live in this great city and we all have the power within us to contribute to the greater good. We have a responsibility to make tomorrow better than today and, collectively, give the gift of hope to those who are less fortu-nate. For all of us, there is nothing more rewarding than this.
Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua’s col-umn runs the final Thursday of each month in The Vaughan Citizen.

As her tears flowed, a stab-bing victim’s mother told a sobbing crowd of the pain and suffering she’s gone through since that fateful day just over three months ago when her beloved son was struck down.
“I crave his presence and his hugs. He’s always watching over his father, sister and I and I will see him again one day. Unfortunately, that is no com-fort for me right now,” Joanna Liokossis said of 22-year-old Gianluca Cellucci, killed in the early hours of Feb. 7 in a Vaughan parking lot.
About 150 family and friends met at Cellucci’s alma mater, St. Theresa of Lisieux Catholic High School in Rich-mond Hill, on Thursday eve-ning in a memorial service to remember the young man. They told stories, reminisced and watched a slide show and brief movie in the school
library. Cellucci’s picture was also added to the school’s Remembrance Wall, which is a memorial to students who have died.
“Gianluca touched so many lives in his very short time with us,” said Liokossis.
She talked about his dream of becoming a police officer and detective with the York Regional Police force, but said she really believed he would make a great prime minister. “The first Italian prime min-ister,” she said in one of the few moments of levity of the evening.
Massimo Cellucci, 18, a cousin of Gianluca’s said he would miss his hugs.
“He was muscular. He was my motivation for get-ting stronger, my motivation for acting better, living life, he was trustworthy, very strong, humble, all the good things,” added Cellucci.
Neighbour Andrew Cal-
dana, who grew up a few doors down from Cellucci, said he was an, “extremely hard-working individual. He was very ahead of his age. He knew his career path and what he wanted to do. His memory is going to live on.”
That was clearly on Liokos-sis’s mind as well.
“I do have one wish for all of you that you will continue to speak about Gianluca, tell stories about Gianluca, so that his memory and spirit will be alive,” she said.
Charged and arrested for second-degree murder and attempted murder is Rich-mond Hill native Nick Bagh-erzadeh, 20. A bail hearing was held for him on Tuesday and it’s expected to resume on June 6.

The long simmering feuds involv-ing taxpayers, emergency response budgets and car insurance premi-ums has opened a new battlefront, with personal injury lawyers now angry at York Regional Police, which is attempting to trim its budget.
Last month, by mere happen-stance, York Region lawyer Heikki Cox-Kikkajoon, looked through a stack of bills and came across a police accident report invoice from YRP for more than $500.
“I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “It really burned me under the collar.”
The bill was for a document Barrie-based Cox-Kikkajoon had ordered in relation to a relatively minor car crash that occurred on Leslie Road in Newmarket in 2015.
Instead of the customary $43 charge he said he continues to receive from the OPP’s Aurora detachment, this York police motor vehicle accident report was $553.70.
Cox-Kikkajoon said what upset him more than anything else was what he considered to be the simplicity of the document the police were charging that kind of money for.
“I am questioning the actual cost,” he added. “How did they come up with that cost?”
He said he believes the one-page accident report, which involves an “eight-centimetre by 10-centime-tre” diagram as well as information including which direction the vehi-cles were traveling, would likely take 30 minutes to fill out, but certainly no more than an hour.
The document is a standard pro-vincial report that all police forces are mandated to complete in a time-ly manner following attendance or investigation of a car crash.
Cox-Kikkajoon said this report differs greatly from a “level-four” reconstruction report, which is completed when there is a major crash involving significant injury or death, leading to closed roads.
“Those reports are pivotal and it costs a lot,” he said.
“In those documents, they ana-lyze skid marks and do detailed study, gleaning speed and witness reports. I don’t mind paying money for them, but this is different.”
York Regional Police insists the service is simply trying to recover an ever-increasing cost through avenues other than the region’s tax-payers, essentially saying motorists
should cover the costs of car crashes rather than the entire tax base.
Increases to the costs associated with obtaining motor vehicle colli-sion reports have been implement-ed in order to transfer the costs asso-ciated with collision investigations from taxpayers and on to insurance companies, a spokesperson for the service said in an email.
The statement goes on to say the $490 fee, plus HST cost “accurately reflects the cost of investigating and administering” the reports.
“A report investigated by the major collision investigation unit includes scene measurements, field sketches and notes, vehicle crush measurements, scale diagrams, speed, time and distance calcula-tions, opinions and conclusions,” it adds.
However, Cox-Kikkjoon says these sorts of costs are too much burden to put on those who suffer from collisions and, at the end of the day, all motorists are likely to bear the brunt.
“Someone bears the cost,” he added. “At the end of the day, it comes back to the people who pay insurance cost.”
Aaron Wudrick, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federa-
tion, said while it’s important for public bodies to look at costs and alter prices accordingly, he said the cost appears to have been particu-larly large in this case.
“If you’re talking about a accident report, there is no way around that, so it is effectively a tax,” he said.
The rise in price was implement-ed at the Police Service Board meet-ing in late 2015, as both the police and regional chairperson Wayne Emmerson took steps to keep the police budget increase less than a 3 per cent.
York police, whose budget will reach $300 million in 2017, said they’d been losing millions of dollars a year writing up mandated reports for insurance companies that were going unused.
It was during this meeting that Emmerson told the board he could not support a 3.7-per-cent increase, insisting more savings needed to be found.
“We’re going to have to find some funding,” he told his first budget meeting.
They were not done with acci-dent reports, also deciding to start charging homeowners for each false alarm that requires police to attend residences.

Amici Ladies was started in Toronto by a group of Italian immi-grant women, who either hailed from the northern part of the coun-try or were married to men from there, said Louise Manias, whose mother, Grace Bianchi, was one of the league’s founding members.
Their husbands were all close friends who often played bocce together and hung out together during summers at their cottages in Wasaga Beach.
The women decided since their husbands all shared pastimes, they ought to do the same.
So they started a five-pin league at a bowling alley, in 1951, in the Dufferin Street and St. Clair Avenue area of the city, where many Italian immigrants settled after arriving in Canada.
The league moved to a few dif-ferent alleys over the years.
Then about 25 years ago, as the Italian community migrated north to Vaughan, the league relocated to Woodbridge Bowl, on Marycroft Avenue, which recently sold and is changing its name to Splitsville Woodbridge.
At that point, it switched to a 10-pin league.
Today, the membership is a little more diverse. Though many of the women are of Italian background,
they hail from all over the country and there are a few who come from other parts of Europe.
Manias remembers, when she was a young child, her mother would always say she couldn’t doing anything on Tuesdays because she didn’t want to miss bowling.
At the time, Manias couldn’t comprehend why her mother loved it so much.
“I used to say, ‘You’ve gotta be nuts. You’ve given up this, you’ve given up that (for bowling),’” she recalled telling her mother.
For years, Bianchi encouraged her daughter to join the league, but Manias wasn’t interested.
Then about six years ago, just before Bianchi passed away, Manias finally signed up.
“I never understood my moth-er’s thing for bowling, until I started myself,” Manias, 67, said. “Now that I’m in it, Tuesdays are off limits,”
The league runs weekly from just after Labour Day weekend in September until just before the Victoria Day long weekend.
Though it’s competitive and things can get heated at times, especially during the playoffs, the members say it’s mostly about socializing with people who have similar backgrounds or interests.
“I think it’s the friendship, the
camaraderie, more than anything else,” Manias said. “When you join, you have 63 new friends for life.”
“We have become such a family and we’ve shared so many things — joys, triumphs, tragedies,” added Marilyn Galati, a longtime member and past president of the league’s executive. “We rally behind each other and support each other and if you don’t bowl one year, you miss it. You really, really miss it.”
In fact, the Amici Ladies’ motto is: fun, friendship, family, she noted.
Word has certainly spread that it’s a fun group — there’s now a waiting list to join.
Francesca Lodato, 44, is the league’s youngest member.
She’d pestered her friend, Gina Giordano, a longtime league mem-ber, for quite awhile before a spot finally opened up two years ago.
“I love it, I can’t wait for Tues-days to come,” Lodato said. “When summer comes, I miss it and I look forward to when it starts over in September. … These ladies are amazing, they’re so energetic and full of happiness and joy. It’s com-petitive, but it’s more about spend-ing time together.”
