Richmond Hill’s Natalie Djihanian is full of life and promise because a generous donor gave her a new heart when hers was failing. She wishes others got the vital message of registering to donate organs.

‘What are you going to do with them, anyway?’ after you die, she challenges.

‘Unelected person wields the most power,’ says critic Bill Fisch, who is chairperson of regional council meetings, is not the chairperson or CEO of York Region, a provincial politician argued this week.

“He’s the head of council,” Richmond Hill MPP Reza Moridi said at a public meeting at the Elgin West Community Centre Wednesday night.

“There’s no such a thing as a chair(person) or CEO in the Municipal Act.” Mr. Moridi, who recently tabled a private member’s bill that calls for York Region’s chairperson to be elected, said to describe the head of council as a CEO implies the municipality is a private corporation, not a government.

He said he’s “baffled” the chairperson, a public office, isn’t elected by the community at large, but by fellow regional council members.

“He gets appointed in two minutes behind closed doors. It’s really laughable,” Mr. Moridi said.

Many mayors and regional councillors who get re-elected frequently don’t want to see changes on regional council, he said.

“They’ve become friends. Everybody knows everybody,” he said. “So they’ve ‘elected’ one of their own. Who gave them the right to do that?”

Mr. Fisch, who has served five consecutive terms, wears a chain of office and sets meeting agendas.

“He acts as a mayor,” Mr. Moridi said. “He’s already a super mayor. That’s a reality.”

The region’s $2.8-billion budget is almost a third of Toronto’s, he said.

“It’s huge,” he said. “It’s more than many government ministries.”

About 35 people, including former Richmond Hill mayor Al Duffy, attended the meeting orga-

Ontarians not getting donor message: recipient

BY AMANDA PERSICO

apersico@yrmg.com

Three steps was three too many.

Laundry was more than a chore, but rather a physical struggle.

For more than a decade, Richmond Hill resident Natalie Djihanian took a nap while her children when to school. It was the only way she could muster enough energy to take care of her two daughters when they returned from school.

“When we stayed at a hotel, I had to be near the elevator,” she said. “Three steps was too much. I felt like I ran a marathon.”

Ms Djihanian spent a little more than a decade living with a broken heart. She had a low ejection fraction, which means her heart wasn’t pumping enough blood to the rest of her body.

Not only did she live a limited life, but she also lived in denial about needing a new heart.

“Medications were like a Band-Aid that will forever and always be there,” she said.

“I refused to believe I needed (a heart).”

After years of ups and downs, the BandAid ripped off, she said.

It was time to consider being placed on the transplant list, which now sits at about 1,500 Ontarians long.

She spent more than three months living in the intensive care unit of a hospital waiting for a new heart. And waiting only three months, she considered herself lucky.

“Waiting is the hardest part,” she said.

“You didn’t know if and you didn’t know when. There was a father of two waiting for a heart as well. He died because he didn’t

get one in time. God got to me in time.”

But it is not her near-death experience that brings her to tears.

Despite strong media attention, Ontarians are not getting the message about organ and tissue donation.

“What are you going to do with your organs, anyway?” she asked.

“They are going to decompose with you. If you can help someone, why not? It is not like you have one piece of cake and you don’t want to share it. You’re throwing that cake away, so why not give it someone who is hungry.”

Earlier this week, the Ontario Trillium Gift of Life released its latest batch of numbers, showing only 22 per cent of Ontarians are registered organ donors.

‘It was the right thing to do; my kids have a mom’ From page 1.

York Region numbers fall far behind the rest of the province.

Markham, Vaughan and Richmond Hill have some of the lowest donor registrations rates in the province — except for the communities of Concord and Woodbridge.

The latest set of numbers revealed higher registration numbers in Northern Ontario, where communities are smaller and more close-knit, president and CEO of Trillium Gift of Life Network, Ronnie Gavsie said, while communities that are more diverse, such as Markham or Richmond Hill, are lacking in numbers.

“We have theories,” Ms Gavsie said. “But we’re talking about a culture change. Years ago, you would walk into a smoking room without blinking an eye. Now, you would walk right out. It takes time to change culture.”

The network is taking note of those trends and numbers, she added.

Currently, the network works with faith leaders in the community to help dispel myths.

The network is in the process of starting an in-depth research project to look at different cultural groups and what is holding people back from becoming donors.

“Awareness is a big step,” Ms Gavsie said.

“But it is only the first step. We need to inspire into action.”

A year after Ms Djihanian’s heart transplant surgery, she was encouraged to write a letter of thanks to the donor family whose loved one saved her life.

The family responded by telling her the heart donor loved to sing Happy Birthday.

“My message to them was I was a young mother of two,” she said. “It gives me shivers.

Someone decided it was the right thing to do.

And my kids have a mom because of it.”

5 nurses hired for video medicine

NS

The Central Local Health Integration Network hired five new telemedicine nurses to provide you easier access to physician specialists.

The new nurses are stationed in Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket, Markham Stouffville Hospital and the Canadian Mental Health Association —York Region and Toronto branches.

The new hires are part of the expanded care delivery available at more than 68 sites across Central LHIN. Telemedicine is a form of telehealth, with live, two-way videoconferencing at the hospital sites, Markham Stouffville Hospital clinical telemedicine professional practice leader Ann Marie Havery said.

The Skype-like service is part of the Ontario Telemedicine Network and is equipped with the latest technology for virtual patient consultations, assessments, training and knowledge exchange, including a hand-held camera that can zoom in on a patient’s wound, Ms Havery said.

“It can save time, costs and travel and it reduces the stress of patients,” she added.

Ms Havery’s first telemedicine patient at Markham Stouffville Hospital was an elderly

lady who needed to see a physician specialist in downtown Toronto, but had no reasonable means of transportation.

That was the case for Sutton resident Norm Charles, who has been using telemedicine for some time.

Mr. Charles goes to Southlake Regional Health Centre about once a month and was there last to see his neuropsychiatrist in Toronto for severe migraines.

“It saves me four hours and $50 a (trip),” Mr. Charles said of telemedicine. “It’s quite handy for me.”

It’s also easier to talk to his doctors via video, Mr. Charles said, noting it’s less intimidating.

To provide telemedicine access for resident clinical appointments, specialist care and staff education, Southlake has partnered with six Central LHIN long-term care homes: Aurora Resthaven, Bradford Valley, Cedarvale Lodge, Good Samaritan Nursing Home, King City Lodge Nursing Home, River Glen Haven Nursing Home and Southlake Village.

Eight of the 12 long-term care homes in the catchment area of Southlake and Stevenson Memorial Hospital in Alliston are equipped for telemedicine service.

Would you pay $30 or more for a taxi ride of about three kilometres?

Tyler Barker did, but he had no choice.

The Aurora resident, 26, has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair.

Due to his condition, taxi cabs are overcharging him, said Mr. Barker, who is on the town’s accessibility advisory committee.

“I’ve been told it’s an industry standard,” he said.

Under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, it’s illegal for a conventional transportation service provider to charge a higher fare to a person with a disability.

However, service providers argue accessible vehicles aren’t conventional.

“That’s not a taxi. It’s not the same service,” Royal Taxi general manager Spiros Bastas said.

Accessible transportation is a market captured locally by York Region Transit’s Mobility Plus, he said.

“There’s absolutely no demand,” he added.

However, parties on all sides of the debate agree there needs to be government funding to subsidize extra costs associated with transporting people with special needs.

“It’s a societal issue,” Mr. Bastas said.

It’s also a personal matter that has affected people like Mr. Barker in more ways than one.

While Mr. Barker has access to a van, he has to rely on Mobility Plus buses and private taxis to get around most of the time.

“My mom is not my chauffeur,” he said.

“Friends help, but I want my independence.”

About a year and a half ago, Mr. Barker quit STAFF PHOTO/SJOERD WITTEVEEN

Spatafora issues apology Richmond Hill Deputy Mayor Vito Spatafora says he’s sorry for making a “go-karts” comment about larger wheelchairs.

“It was an inappropriate comparison, that was not my meaning and I’m sorry,” said Mr. Spatafora, who called the York Region Media Group after he received calls from residents about his comment.

Mr. Spatafora chairs York Region’s accessibility advisory committee.

When this story, “Wheelchair users pay more for taxis”, was published online this week, a reader posted a comment on yorkregion.com, saying Mr. Spatafora’s classification of wheelchairs is insulting.

“For a deputy mayor and chair of an accessibility committee to say wheelchairs that are being used by those who need them are ‘souped-up go-karts’ is insulting to a paraplegic, like me,” RollingAhead wrote.

Mr. Spatafora said he used an analogy that was incorrect. “I’m human and sometimes as a human, someone does something inappropriate,” he said. “I wasn’t trying to undermine or discredit or undervalue providing these services to people with disabilities.

I’m learning as much about people with disabilities as the next person.”

Nora Ryan often uses the regional Mobility Plus service to get around York Region and go to hospital appointments in Toronto. She is among those calling for increased financial assistance for people using wheelchair-accessible taxis. school due to various reasons, including the high cost to get to Seneca College’s Newham Campus, near Finch Avenue and Hwy. 404.

He used Dignity Transportation Inc., which charged him $75 each way, he said.

Attending classes three times a week, Mr. Barker said he took out a special loan to cover his transportation costs of $450 a week.

Since leaving school, Mr. Barker has switched his focus to accessibility advocacy.

But even when met with Mobility Plus representatives last year at Aurora town hall — a three-kilometre ride from his house — he was billed $35 by Dignity.

He said Mobility Plus reimbursed him under a one-time special circumstance, after they contracted a taxi for him that he couldn’t get into due to the size of his powered wheelchair.

York Region Media Group obtained quotes from Royal Taxi, which subcontracts accessible vehicles to AQuality Mobility Inc. Their rate for an accessible cab starts at

$32.50 for 0 to 11 kilometres, whereas the meter starts at $4 for a regular cab.

From Mr. Barker’s home to Aurora town hall by regular cab, Royal quoted $13 or $14.

York Region Media Group also called Dignity for a quote and was told the minimum rate starts at $30 one way, for any distance between 0 and 6 kilometres.

You can’t compare apples and oranges, said Lloyd Pollock, president of Dignity in Vaughan.

“It’s essentially a limousine service,” he said.

“Our rates are exceptional.”

The government subsidized the purchase of accessible vehicles back in the 1990s, but discontinued the program due to high costs, Mr. Pollock said.

“The truth is, it’s all about money,” he said.

“There’s nothing you can do.”

Richmond Hill Deputy Mayor Vito Spatafora, who is chairperson of the region’s accessibility advisory committee, believes the issue at hand can only be improved with a consistent

and reliable source of funding. “(Transportation providers) are businesses; they are not charitable companies,” he said. “And there’s only so much property taxes and development charges can pick up.”

While Mr. Spatafora said the region has made numerous improvements to Mobility Plus to increase accessibility, he questioned the increasing size and weight of the wheelchairs.

“Some of them are like suped-up go-karts,” he said. “If they want service beyond what the region can provide, they are going to have to absorb the costs. They seem to be asking for private limousine service.”

Regional council recently approved contracts — now in effect — with Royal Taxi York Region Inc., Care Accessibility Transportation and Mobility Transportation Specialists Inc. for the provision of Mobility Plus accessible mini-van and sedan services.

Totaling more than $35 million over five years, the contracts include 39 sedans and 24 accessible mini-vans.

However, there are no rear-loaders, which Mr. Barker said he needs to fit in the vans.

“I don’t want a limo. I just want a taxi like a regular person,” he said.

Mobility Plus offers a Scrip Ride program for clients with last-minute or unplanned trips, but Mr. Barker and other users say these contract vehicles are only suited for people who can walk with a cane or get out of a wheelchair and into a seat.

Nora Ryan, who uses a wheelchair because of severe arthritis in both legs, agreed there are problems with Mobility Plus, but said she has had good experiences with the service.

“You have to plan it well,” she said. “I’m a reader, so it works well for me.”

Ms Ryan’s condition also qualifies her for reimbursement for some trips.

She must see a specialist at Mount Sinai Hospital once every two weeks. GTA Transportation charges her $60 one way from her apartment in Markham, but the costs qualify for full reimbursement under the Ontario Disability Support Program.

Even so, she is also calling for the government to provide more financial assistance to people with low-income and/or disabilities.

Until then, Mobility Plus, which records 1,300 trips with 12 bus routes daily, is at your service when you need it, manager Sharon Doyle said. “We don’t deny any trips.”

Ms Doyle said the shared-ride public service has been described by caregivers and families as a “Godsend”, as it allows registered users to go anywhere in York Region and selected locations in Toronto.

To go beyond the current service level would require extra funding in future, Mr. Spatafora said. “We only have so many buses available and we have to cover the entire region from Lake Simcoe to Steeles Avenue,” he said.

High school athletes will pay more to play this fall

BY TERESA LATCHFORD

tlatchford@yrmg.com

Students will have to pay more for school athletics in the fall.

Due to the new Education Ministry fundraising guidelines stating funds cannot be raised for anything required to pass a high school course, school operating funds traditionally used to lower the cost of transportation for school athletic teams will be slashed.

Getting to and from games throughout the region is one of the greatest costs to school sports teams.

Schools will instead have to gear these funds to paying for materials such as instruments in music class, cameras in photography class and course packs that were previously covered by a student fee, York Region District School Board superintendent of schools Leslie Johnstone said.

Principals will continue to spend what they can to help their school teams, but it won’t be as much as in previous years, Ms Johnstone said.

So the amount students pay for transportation, previously $20 a season, will increase. Funds can still be raised for

the teams through student activity and athletic fees, but it won’t offset the entire cost of transportation.

‘I really worry for the poorer cousins in the region and that we can’t take care of them in the same way.’

Some of the consequences of these new guidelines haven’t been fully thought through and it could be well into November before the impact on school athletics is realized, York Region Athletic Association co-ordinator Steve Shantz said.

With 20 to 35 per cent of high school students participating in school athletics, an increase in fees will have an impact on a large number of students.

The affordability of school sports compared to organized sports in the community is the draw for many families who would otherwise not be able to participate due to costs. These changes could put school sports out of reach for

some families.

“Some schools have a hard time competing in a lot of sports,” Mr. Shantz said.

“Kids don’t have as many opportunities due to costs and now that is more pronounced. I really worry for the poorer cousins in the region and that we can’t take care of them in the same way.”

An increase in cost for school athletics could promote school shopping, meaning students and families may register at different schools throughout the region based on athletic costs, he said, adding, for some students, school sports is what keeps them in school, as it allows them to blow off steam.

“Clearly, we’ll have to do things differently in sports to make them more affordable,” he said. “Can we go without $10,000 or $15,000 per year at schools? I don’t know.”

The change will also have an impact on the healthy and active lifestyle philosophy schools across the region have promoted and will mean schools will have to become more creative in their focus on health, Mr. Shantz said.

Little done on lyme treatment Re: Lyme crusaders deserve praise, editorial, June 14.

Thank you for recognizing the efforts of local citizens who are attempting to bring lyme disease issues to the forefront of the public eye.

While great strides have been made recently in terms of awareness, I regret to report no real progress is being made on two very important related issues.

First, despite repeated requests to both federal and provincial health authorities, it would appear no one politically in power is prepared to review, let alone change, blood testing protocols.

Ontario continues to utilize the twotier Elisa testing protocol which has and continues to fail Ontarians.

Why we continue to use the least reliable test as the front-line lyme test

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks, it’s music to our ears Any Thursday night, the Mill Pond — a Richmond Hill landmark — is the place to be. While any other night you might expect nature’s sounds to dominate, July 12, our ears came alive with sounds we associate with summer driving, coming from the park’s gazebo.

What sound. The Beach Party Boys pounded out that terrific California groove for a full two hours. The tribute band offered harmonies that play gentle on our mind.

They had the crowd rocking and singing along throughout the night.

With showmanship galore, they mixed in Mammas and Pappas, Jan and Dean, Surfaris and Chuck Berry medleys that entertained young and old alike.

Yes, it was amazing to see young people dancing and shaking it to the beats of Surf City, California Dreamin’, My Room and more (admit it, younger people, the classics are the classics for a reason).

And for us older guys and gals, this was a night where swinging down memory lane was our dance. What a trip.

To the organizers, thank you for a great night. Seems we all take every opportunity to criticize the town for all that is wrong, all that could be better and everything that fails.

So for the great events you create that are good for the town, fun for all ages and unite families and neighbours, thank you for a great night in the park. Your hard work is music to our ears.

For those at the concert asked the trivia question: “is the Beach Boys’ Surfing USA the same music as Chuck Berry’s Sweet Little Sixteen?” the answer is yes.

General Manager John WILLEMS

is beyond me.

When this system fails to identify lyme infection, as it most often does, patients miss the opportunity for quick, effective treatment and quite apart from their personal loss of health and employment, often undergo endless alternative testing that must cost the already seriously taxed health system dearly.

Second, it would appear treatment options for the chronic lyme patient are still non-existent in the public health system with the result Ontarians either travel to the U.S., seek alternate care remedies, all at their own expense or suffer in silence awaiting the day for the system to “get it”.

It remains so disappointing to me that despite all of the recent “awareness” initiatives, these latter two issues remain untouched and unresolved.

Perhaps the Green Party’s Elizabeth May can achieve what we in the lyme community cannot. Our most sincere thanks to her for stepping up and trying.

own opportunity as a young boy at a private boys school (Oakham) in England, which had its own swimming pool.

We were required to take (as 13 year olds) the Royal National Lifeboat Institution’s classes on swimming, which included techniques on how to disarm a frantic swimmer who was drowning.

The techniques were simple and I am sure are known to Ontario high schools. Why can’t high schools in Richmond Hill (and other towns) institute these classes, even if they have to rent time at a local pool?

The human (and financial) costs of losing a teenage son or daughter — I raised two sons and four daughters — are immeasurable and I am sure regional school boards could organize the classes and pool times.

How do we make people really address the issue, instead of just saying “how sad”?

waste money at the same time they are asking for more. I have no idea what the annual budget of any hospital is, but I do know there are countless ways to cut spending without compromising patient care one iota.

I am neither emotionally attached to York Central itself, nor the name, but to change the name is to spend money the hospital does not have.

Worse; the CEO does not seem to know the cost of this change, saying “several hundred thousand”.

I get that he is the CEO, not the chief financial officer, but with the announcement of the name change, he must have known he would be asked to provide this figure and not hand the media a lame guesstimate. As CEO, he must be acutely aware of all costs for the hospital or pack his bags.

The main reason for the name change seems to be due to the new hospital to be built in Vaughan. Apparently, we, the people, are too dumb to be able to grasp the connection between the two. To save us from our own stupidity, York Central decided it must change its name to Mackenzie Richmond Hill.

The hospital in Vaughan is not yet built. Why not call it York South if they want like sounding names? Mackenzie Richmond Hill will be shortened to “The Mac” mainly because the full moniker is far too long. Guess what the Vaughan hospital will be called? Right!

“The Mac”. Now there’s confusion for you.

A name is just a name, but once there, leave it alone unless you have money to burn. Which York Central does not.

New letterhead, name tags, clothing, receipts .... to say nothing of the money to study the new name, design the new logo and all the useless advertising that few read. What a waste of money.

They cannot even say it is to improve patient care. The board, the CEO, everyone involved with renaming blew it big time — and they can’t even backtrack now because all that money would be doubly wasted.

Wanda and Harry Woodward have run Suburban Auto Repair in Richmond Hill for almost 40 years.

Now they are retiring and closing the business, saying farewell to longtime customers and employees such as Chris Peters (in back).

Suburban Auto duo driving off into the sunset

BY ADAM MC LEAN

amclean@yrmg.com

At 5:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, mechanic Harry Woodward will open up his garage for the last time, after 37 years of business in Richmond Hill.

Accompanied by his wife Wanda, who has kept the company books for the last 28 years, the Woodwards plan to spend the rest of next week packing up decades of memories at Suburban Auto Repair and no doubt saying goodbye to numerous friends along the way.

During Mr. Woodward’s nearly four decades of servicing vehicles in Richmond Hill, the town has changed, plus technology and the intricacies of the business have changed, admitted the 61-year-old.

Yet, you ask longtime customers like Ted Pickles, who will say the small-town service, honesty and reliability of the Woodwards’ garage has remained constant from the time Mr. Woodward opened the garage as a 24-year-old.

Mr. Pickles recalls getting a phone call from the Woodwards weeks after his car had left their garage with new brake pads.

FIRE VEHICLES During that time, the Richmond Hill Fire Department’s fleet was among the vehicles he serviced, he worked on jet boats, hot rods and he himself drives a 1960 Firebird; the same model he first drove, as an engineobsessed teenager.

Just like his service style, that old school passion remains, even to the last days of his career. “An engine is an engine and I can honestly say, I have loved them all,� he said.

Mr. Woodward said he never tired of the work and had not been planning his retirement.

However, he was offered a good price for his Industrial Road building and decided to accept. “It’s not like I had this day circled on the calendar,� added the father and grandfather.

The building will change hands and the Suburban Auto Repair name will retire with them. “If I was to sell the business, I would be worried that those taking over wouldn’t live up to the name or the spirit of our shop,� Mr. Woodward admitted.

NEIGHBOURLY SPIRIT It’s that neighbourly spirit that has not only customers, but employees sad to say goodbye. “My only regret is that I didn’t know him and start working for Harry sooner,� said mechanic Chris Peters, sitting in the shop’s reception area. Mr. Peters will accept one of the job offers he’s received as

news of Suburban’s closing has spread.

Over the years Suburban Auto also served as a social spot and Mr. Woodward often became “Mr. Fix-it� for his longtime customers. “Some people have taken it (the retirement) really hard; tears and all,� he said. “Over the years, people would drop by for a coffee or to get their vacuum or the clasp on their bracelets fixed,� he

laughed. “But yeah, it’s hard for me, too. I’ve met so many amazing people. You think that will never change, but here we are,� he added.

Mrs. Woodward said she will dearly miss the familiar faces. “I’m really good at socializing, you see, so I’m going to miss that a lot,� she shared with a laugh, while adding she’s eager to have more time spend with her children and grandchildren.

PAID BACK OVERCHARGE “They realized they had charged me too much after doing their monthly records. It’s not like it was a huge difference, but they followed up on it and paid back the amount,� he said. “That’s just the kind of people they are. They have become friends and I think a lot of people in Richmond Hill will miss them dearly,� he added.

The feeling is mutual said Mr. Woodward, who laughs when trying to put a number on how many hoods he’s been under. “Golly, I’m not sure if I want to know how many cars I’ve worked on over the years. I think it’s too many to count,� said Mr. Woodward, flashing a smile.

Mrs. Woodward can’t guess a number either, but shares her formula for running not only a successful business with her husband, but also a successful marriage, considering the two spent 24 hours together, Monday through Friday, since 1982.

“He’s the boss at work and I’m the boss at home,� said the Richmond Hill native with a laugh. “We just really get along great and we’re both busy doing our own things at the shop,� she added.

If he had to guess, Mr. Woodward, who lives in Newmarket but grew up around Lake Wilcox, figures an average of between 12 and 20 cars would be serviced in his garage each day.

Five business days a week, multiplied by 37 years; carry the one and we get more than 115,000 cars cared for by Mr. Woodward.

Ward 3 Community Barbecue

It was a hot time Tuesday night — literally — for the sixth annual Ward 3 Community Barbecue presented by Councillor Castro Liu.

nized by the Social Planning Council of York Region.

Co-chairperson Pat Taylor said the group approached two people who have publicly opposed the election of a regional chairperson to join the debate, but neither returned calls or e-mails.

In addition to Mr. Moridi, the panel discussion about whether or not the region’s chairperson should be elected featured York University political science associate professor Robert MacDermid and Community Development Council Durham manager Benjamin Earle.

Mr. MacDermid said he was glad to see people coming out “to reclaim local democracy”, adding municipal mayors and councillors used to be elected every year, then two, three and now every four years.

“We’ve basically been watering down the process,” Mr. MacDermid said.

The regional chairperson can break a tie vote, but usually doesn’t vote.

“So when council is most divided, this unelected person wields the most power,” he said. “It’s perverse in a way. He serves the interest of those who voted for him, but he’s the public face of these municipalities.”

A regional chairperson election will provide residents an opportunity to engage in regionwide issues, he said.

“It’s essential to discuss these issues in broader ways,” he said.

The issue of whether or not York’s regional chairperson should be elected has caused a divide among municipalities and local councils.

In April, Newmarket council voted in favour of investigating the merits of an elected chairperson.

In June, Markham council voted not to support a similar motion.

Mr. Moridi’s private member’s bill is scheduled for a second reading at Queen’s Park in early September.

“The grim reaper couldn’t make it,” said postal worker union rep Cathy Beth, yesterday morning, the Arnold Crescent post office retail counter’s last day of business.

Still, as the minutes ticked by and Ms Beth stood alone in the lobby, ready to hand out cake decorated with the message “thank you and goodbye”, the end was written on the cake.

Last week, Ms Beth had stated that union plans involved a grim reaper character descending on the Arnold office counter in protest, to serve burgers and hot dogs outside the postal counter deemed no longer necessary by Canada Post after more than 60 years of community service.

“Theatrics”, were what Ms Beth had envisioned for the last day as a final act of defiance and protest from union members, politicians, the local BIA and community.

Instead, Ms Beth was a one-woman show.

“We just couldn’t pull together the theatrics that we had hoped. It’s been a tough week,” said Ms Beth.

In the hopes of keeping the retail counter open in the downtown core of Richmond Hill, Ms Beth had collected a petition of close to 1,000 signatures.

Letters of support, rejecting the office closure had been sent to Canada Post by Richmond Hill MP Costas Menegakis and Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Barrow.

But, with 10 Canada Post locations within a 5-km radius of the Arnold location, the retail counter was deemed surplus.

“They offered support where they could and we appreciate it,” said Ms Beth of efforts by the mayor and MP. Earlier this week, Toronto NDP MP Olivia Chow expressed her anger at the closure of many retail postal counters, including one in her own riding.

Ms Beth said Ms Chow’s high profile and strong opinion gives hope for the preservation of urban locations that are not situated in drug stores.

While she assumes such support is too late for the Arnold retail counter at present, hope remains the counter could return one day and Ms Beth maintains that the union will continue to lobby for an Arnold retail counter.

No jobs will be lost in the closure and mail sorting operations at the Arnold Crescent Canada Post building will continue.

Employees working the now-closed Arnold retail counter will relocate to counters in Markham.

Facebook auction for Treasures nets $1,000

BY ADAM MC LEAN

Pari Chowdhary, a volunteer at Treasures Charity Thrift Store, recently held a modern auction using Facebook, raising $1,000 for the charitable venture that helps those in Richmond Hill with mental illnesses.

This message brought to you as a community service of The Richmond Hill Liberal

Richmond Hill resident Pari Chowdhary took to social media to raise funds for Treasures Charity Thrift Store, using Facebook as an auction house.

The 24-year-old raised more than $1,000 for Treasures, by setting up an auction page on Facebook, where she listed second-hand clothes, books and other items for users to bid on.

Each item listed a description, minimum bid and message that all proceeds benefit the Richmond Hill charity shop.

Treasures is a non-profit, volunteer-run, second-hand store, where individuals recovering from mental health issues engage in volunteer work alongside other community members in a supportive environment.

Ms Chowdhary, 24, volunteered at Treasures through high school and her mother has volunteered at the store for years, as well.

The auction was as much about raising awareness about the work Treasures does in the community, as it was about raising funds, said Ms Chowdhary. Turns out, Facebook was a great way to do both.

“I thought Facebook would give me access to people I don’t know, because my friends tell their friends and so on,” Ms Chowdhary said.

And that is exactly what happened, as Ms Chowdhary had many strangers bidding on the items she had found in her closet or around the house, that she no longer needed or had never used.

Following her clean-up and with some other items donated by friends, Ms Chowdhary had a total of 450 items up for auction.

As word spread through the Facebook social network, Ms Chowdhary quickly saw 500 people registered in her auction page.

Some of the items receiving top interest included a pair of Indian shoes, several paintings and a jewelry box.

“I wasn’t sure how successful it would be, but lots of people were really excited to support it,” said Ms Chowdhary of the more than 130 items sold during her three-week auction.

“What they do at Treasures is inspiring and empowering. We all have the capacity to raise funds and volunteer and I have seen my mom do it for eight years. Now that more people know about this place through Facebook, maybe more will get involved and help,” she added.

Treasures volunteer Carol Thompson said this money will complement a recently received Trillium grant to help replace the store floor at Treasures.

In particular, Ms Chowdhary’s donation will be used to purchase new display cases and shelving units.

“This will really help freshen up the store,” said Ms Thompson, adding it is but one step on a long list of initiatives to help renovate the shop, in the Levendale Plaza, just west of Yonge Street.

Richmond Hill Raiders U14 girls take silver in New York The Richmond Hill U14 girls advanced to the finals at the recent Clarence Classic soccer tournament in New York State before settling for second place, after falling 1-2 in a shootout to the U16 Greece Buccaneers.

The team opened the tourney with a 0-0 draw against the U16 Spencerport soccer club followed by a 5-0 win over Pickering.

The Raider girls fought hard in their last round robin game, which resulted in a 4-1 win over the home team of Clarence.

The Raiders got through to the finals by coming in first in their division, setting up the game against the Buccaneers.

The goalies for both teams were outstanding and the game was tied, leading to penalty kicks, where the Raiders fell short in the shootout and had to settle for the silver medals.

Their proud coaches felt the Richmond Hill girls played well and with a lot of heart against girls who were two and three years older, plus they gained a lot of experience from the tournament.
