York Region’s charitable organizations aren’t being stuck up when they refuse the donation of certain items. Each organization that accepts donations, from Vaughan to Georgina, have policies surrounding acceptable items. While donors might feel slighted by these organizations refusing donations of certain things, there are reasons behind the rules. "Some people donate items because they love them and want that item to be continued to be loved," Rose of Sharon’s development director Rachel Agnoluzzi said. The organization that supports young mothers across the region primarily relies on monetary donations to improve lives going forward, however, it does l See THERE, page 21

COMMUNITY isa Chong was nervous about letting her son stay home alone for an hour or two after

school. The Newmarket mom, like any working parent, wrestled with the thought of leaving her son, now 12, home alone for short periods of time when he was 10 but also didn’t want to leave him in an after-school care program designed for younger children. Before she did, her son attended a home-alone course offered by St. John Ambulance. "I was very nervous, but after testing the waters and watching him use the techniques that he learned at the course, I felt a little better," she said. "Each time he’s alone, he becomes more confident, as do I." It was at the end of Grade 5 he was walking home from the bus stop, letting himself into the house, checking in with mom when he arrived and doing chores and homework. The routine has helped both mom and son feel comfortable with his independence. According to the Ontario Child and Family Services Act, any child under the age of 10 years left unattended can be at risk and, depending on the situation, police can lay charges, York Regional Police Const. Laura Nicole said. "There isn’t a firm one-sizefits-all," she added. "Parents need to know their child and the area, then make a decision based on all the circumstances." The length of the walk, possible risks such as heavy traffic, railway crossings and how long children will be left alone should all be considered when making a decision. While every child matures at a different rate, it is most important to note a 7-year-old doesn’t have the same mental ability as a 9- or 10-year old, Seneca King Campus behavioural sciences professor Laura Cavanagh said. "At 7, kids can know a rule but don’t have the ability to apply it to a concrete situation in real life," she explained. "So they know the rule is not to talk

IS TIME RIGHT? St. John Ambulance offers five crucial points when deciding to leave a child home alone: 1. Your child can recite their name, address and phone number in case of emergency. 2. They know how, when and what to say when they call 9-1-1. 3. Have access to a neighbour’s phone number and can call and ask for help if needed. 4. Understand enough about time to know when you will be home. 5. They know what to say and do if someone calls or knocks on the door. For more tips, visit sja.ca.

When is a child ready to walk to school or return from school to an empty house? Experts say a number of factors should be considered while making the decision.

ON THEIR OWN Parents wrestle with deciding when their children are ready to walk to school or stay home alone TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com to strangers, but if someone asked for help finding their puppy, the child would most likely help where as an older child would associate the situation with the stranger-danger rule." When assessing a child for readiness, ask questions and pay attention to their behaviour when you are around, which is

indicative of the behaviour they will practise when alone. For example, if you tell your child not to answer the phone while you are in the shower and they do it anyway, they may be tempted to open the door when home alone even though they have been told not to. Parenting expert Alyson Schafer suggests running trials

before letting a child walk to school or stay home alone to put both child and parent at ease. After teaching your child the rules for safely crossing a street and being aware of surroundings and so on, allow them to walk to school while you follow from a safe distance. "Many parents are using the walking school bus in their

neighbourhoods," Schaffer added. "Children from the same school walk together, and older students look out for the younger ones." As for leaving a child at home, ensure all emergency procedures are properly understood. Quiz your child on different scenarios to see how they respond, and set house rules you both agree on - for example, calling one parent when arriving home. Some parents have their children use video chat when cooking on their own. Try leaving them alone for a short period of time as a trial run to see what happens. Walking to school without a parent or guardian and being home alone are big milestones for children, Cavanagh said. Aside from the physical health benefits of walking to school rather than sitting in a car, being given the opportunity to prove to a parent they are responsible can boost their independence and confidence. Most children are eager to demonstrate their ability to take on responsibility at this age, and if the rules are clear and they are motivated, they will be more likely to comply. "These tasks can be very rewarding for children and helps prepare them for the transition into adulthood when more responsibilities come their way," she added. "These independent tasks are well worth the consideration."

Motorists must focus on stopping distracted driving

TheLiberal.

It shouldn’t have to be re-stated at this point and yet here it is: distracted driving is dangerous and unacceptable. How dangerous? Well, according to the Ontario Provincial Police, distracted driving is responsible for more collisions on the roads it patrols than speeding and impaired-related crashes combined. Numbers don’t lie and the OPP’s statistics are troubling to be sure. Its figures say that driver distraction has been the cause of 6,360 collisions on the roads it patrols since Jan. 1, while speeding and driver impairment were responsible for 4,700 and 1,158 crashes, respectively. Forty-seven people have died so far this year as a result of a distracted driver, up from 39 at this time last year, the OPP says. What’s more, distracted driving has claimed more lives on OPP-patrolled roads than speeding and impaired for the past eight years except for 2012. "Our collision data is compelling evidence that drivers who text, talk on their cellphone or are distracted in some other way, take a tremendous toll on the safety of those who share the road with them," OPP commissioner Vince Hawkes said in a statement. "Public complacency about inattentive driving can be just as dangerous as the behaviour itself. Until drivers, passengers and the general public take a firm stand against this road safety issue, these tragedies are expected to continue in large numbers on our roads.’’ Distracted driving remains an issue on the roadways patrolled by area police as well. Just last week, York Regional Police issued a news release noting that 25 motorists had been charged with impaired, while 82 others had been cited for distracted driving. The release isn’t unique as YRP charges scores of people with distracted driving every week. The penalties for being caught driving while distracted are steep, with fines ranging from $490 to $1,000 and three demerit points, and yet still not enough to discourage people from doing so. Of course, beyond a fine or a trip to a courthouse, a distracted driver could also have to live with severely injuring or killing someone. This week marks the start of a new school year and that means more children out and about on our streets. As such, we should all ensure we devote our attention solely to the task of driving whenever we’re behind the wheel. One injury or death resulting from distracted driving is too many. Let’s focus on reversing this trend.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Conservatives culpable in Khadr lawsuit It is so tiresome to read the same-old, same-old drum beating of the political far right, as personified by Andrew Scheer, Peter Kent, Julian Fantino and their ilk. They spout from their formulaic script like yesterday’s children chanting multiplication tables by rote. They are merely cardboard cut-outs of their former boss, the meanspirited Islamophobic Stephen Harper. What they conveniently omit from their rant is the culpability of the Harper government in creating the basis for the Khadr lawsuit in the first place. They sanctioned

the imprisonment and torture of a 16-year-old Canadian boy for 10 years in Guantanamo prison, while other countries, such as the U.K., France, Denmark and Sweden negotiated the repatriation of their citizens from that facility. Had the Conservatives acted as responsibly as these countries, there would have been no basis for the lawsuit. And, the money paid to Khadr was not some form of handout, but the out-ofcourt settlement of Khadr’s lawsuit, brought legitimately against the Canadian government. It was deemed by legal advisers to the present government that to contest the lawsuit would result in defeat, ending up costing taxpayers much more than the settlement.

They have the audacity to cite the settlement as some sort of affront to the Canadian military, as if the Conservatives have a monopoly on how to respect our men and women in uniform. They conveniently forget the disgraceful treatment and contempt shown our military by the Harper government, overseen by Julian Fantino, Minister of Veterans Affairs. A. King, Sharon

All Canadians should follow rule of law RE: LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Letter offered plenty of propaganda, Aug. 3 Since letter writer

Wendy King ask us to read all about the Khadr story, perhaps she should read the story of Fred McKay, whose son Kevin was killed by an IED while on patrol in Afghanistan. (Toronto Sun, Aug. 5) He believes, as I and many more Canadians do, that Khadr should have been tired as a traitor. McKay, whose family received $90,000 from the government, not that he argues that amount. His objective is to have parliament ask Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to have Khadr tried for treason, since he is seen on video building IEDs while being a Canadian citizen. Trudeau has not responded. Too busy with photo ops, I guess. John King, Newmarket

This past weekend, Fight Fitness hosted a fundraiser for 360°kids to help support at-risk youth in York Region. The Potluck of Meaning, inspired by Precision Nutrition, connects people over meaningful dishes for a great cause. York Region is known for its affluence, not its homelessness, including 300 youth who are homeless on any given night in York Region. As we connected over good food, we connected with the stories of our communities. Together, we raised $1,000 for 360°kids, and engaged a few more in this important cause.

How parents can make school drop-offs a breeze Smooth drop-offs start with stress-free mornings. Learn how to achieve both this school year with these practical tips. Try DIY breakfast. Reduce time in the morning by simplifying breakfast. Set out some plates and cereal, chopped fruit, bread, cheese and yogurt to let the kids serve themselves, or keep these items on lower shelves in the fridge so little ones can access everything they need. Start a launch pad. Organizing experts say having a designated spot in your entryway for things like the kids’ lunch boxes, backpacks, textbooks, permission slips and coats is a great way to keep

things tidy and to make sure no one forgets anything. The launch pad can be a basket, bench or other container, and it helps if each child has their own. Plan your route. School zones are becoming more dangerous. According to a recent CAA survey, the top two hazardous driving behaviours that motorists perform in a school zone are speeding and distracted driving. For a smoother morning, try parking a couple of blocks away and walking the rest of the way with your children. You and your kids will also get an extra dose of exercise. Help reduce traffic by finding alternative ways to school. Plan a safe route to walk or bike.

Follow the rules while behind the wheel. Slowing down and giving yourself more time is the best way to keep school zones safe when dropping off your child. Avoid texting and other activities that can distract you while driving. Check with your child’s school administrator regarding designated drop off and pickup areas. Follow the signs posted in school zones, including speed limits. Watch for CAA School Safety Patrollers, one of the largest youth volunteer programs in Canada. They help their peers get to school safely in many parts of the country. Find more information online at.caa.ca/schoolzonesafety.

The Ontario Public Service Employees Union has asked the Ontario Labour Relations Board to schedule a strike vote.

Ontario college teacher strike vote set for Sept. 14 TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com College teachers will vote on whether or not to strike on Sept. 14. The Ontario Public Service Employees Union has asked the Ontario Labour Relations Board to schedule a strike vote for faculty at Ontario public colleges. The OPSEU bargaining team is still at the bargaining table with college management, having just completed a nine-day stretch, but there is only one thing the two sides can agree on, according to the chair of the college academic bargaining team, JP Hornick. "It is quite clear that we have very different visions for the system," she said. "We have put forward a number of proposals that would further support the success of students, but management feels the system is working and nothing needs to change." Hornick points out 80 per cent of teaching hours are done by contract workers who have to reapply for their jobs every four months, the definition of a counsellor needs to be updated to reflect the support of student mental health and more academic freedom needs to be given to faculty so they are involved in decision making. "This year marks 50 years of college in Ontario and we think it’s a great time to reflect and make adjustments for the next 50 years," she added. The current contract expires at the end of September.

ADVERTORIAL

By Sam Potter IF YOU suffer from low back pain and sciatica, you are one of over 2 million adults in the Canada with this often crippling spinal condition. Shooting, stabbing and burning pains from the low back, sometimes with additional pain through the buttocks and down the legs are all symptoms of a pinched nerves often called “sciatica”. In severe cases, it can lead to muscle wasting, numbness and constant tingling down to the tip of the toes. Left untreated, the intense pain can rapidly wear you down and drain the joy out of life. That is, until now... Recent advances in the treatment of sciatica and lower back pain have led to the development and huge success of Advanced Structural Correction Technique. The excellent results of chiropractic treatment have been published in major medical journals. With great success rates, some back surgeons and medical doctors are recommending their patients try this treatment first before having back surgery.

Dennis and Leon, and their team of fully trained spinal care staff, have helped over 1,000 patients find relief from their agonising back pain and sciatica.

Amazing relief for back pain and sciatica According to Dennis and Leon, “We focus on precisely diagnosing the cause of your low back pain and sciatica; and a programme for reconstructing the damaged area causing the pain; this means long-term results for most people.” Because the treatment is non-surgical, safe and easy, most patients report an almost immediate relief from their pain. Patient Catherine M. from Thornhill says, “I woke up every morning with low back pain that was unbearable and searing burning pain I felt into my leg. I had trouble doing anything I did before like running, and working out, and even being at work was extremely difficult. The drugs my MD prescribed hardly did anything. I am so happy with the results. I no longer live in pain and the burning I had… I only wish I knew about Chiropractic sooner.” Your invitation for a comprehensive consultation and examination to pinpoint the cause of your low back pain and sciatica... Richmond Hill on Thursday has teamed up with the spine therapy Chiropractors at Thornhill Family

PICK OF THE WEEK

SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com Celebrate #Ontario150 in Markham with a free concert featuring The Barenaked Ladies, Tyler Shaw, and Jessica Mitchell. The concert is at the Markham Civic Centre (101 Town Centre Blvd.) Sept. 10. Singer/songstress Jessica Mitchell is based in Toronto and Nashville, Tenn. After losing her mother to a battle with cancer, Mitchell had an epiphany about the kind of artist she wanted to become. Her hope is that by sharing grief and other personal experiences through her music, she will forge genuine bonds with her audience. For more on Mitchell, go to http:// jessicamitchellmusic.com/ Tyler Shaw is a Toronto-based singer/ songwriter. His hometown is Coquitlam, B.C. Thanks to the strength of his 2012 debut single Kiss Goodnight, Shaw has become a rising star in the Canadian pop scene. After entering a national talent competition in 2012 and taking the top spot out of 13,000 people, Shaw found doors opening for him musically, and relocated to Toronto. Shaw has landed opening slots on Canadian shows with artists including Shawn Mendes and Kelly Clarkson. Go to http://www.tylershawmu-

SOCIALIZE Connect with your school on social media - Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat. And, if you find an online student group, join it. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find information about upcoming events and resources. Also, seek out student clubs and societies, events, intramural sports, and other groups to be a part of.

GET TO KNOW THE PLACE Tour the campus to get familiar with the various facilities, services, and resources available. Also, visit the area outside campus so you know what else is close by. Many schools offer workshops, orientation, and information sessions to help first-year students get comfortable.

SEEK HELP EARLY If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re struggling with your studies or run into a cash flow problem and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay for tuition, books, food, or rent, seek help right away. Most postsecondary institutions offer academic counselling and support for needing financial aid.

CREATE A BUDGET Post-secondary school can come with myriad costs - tuition, textbooks, food, rent, plus social activities. Make a budget and try to stick to it. If you find yourself cash-strapped, consider getting a job on campus or explore bursaries, grants, and scholarships that may be available.

NEWS

While these textiles can’t be resold in the store, funds are generated by selling them to cloth graders who turn them into rags, sell to buyers who make upholstery stuffing and carpet padding. Every effort is made to recycle non-sellable items with eco-friendly suppliers. Most of the time electronics need to be in working order to be donated.

l Continued from page 3

have Roseys Closet for gently used donations. Often people try to donate car seats, cribs and more with the best of intentions but with those items come liability because the safety standards of such items change so often, according to Agnoluzzi. Those who wish to donate items should check online or call the organization before doing so because any items left on the front stoop cost money and resources to dispose of. Salvation Army Thrift Stores accept donations daily through the Donor Welcome Centres. Donations are reviewed on site and while some get a second chance in the store, some do not, according to a Salvation Army spokesperson. Items the stores cannot accept include used mattresses, box springs, carpets, hazardous materials

Other charities shy away from accepting large furniture due to the risks associated with volunteers or employees moving the heavy items and they are difficult for people to fit into their vehicles. Items that cannot be resold, reused or recycled cost the charity funds to dispose of, which defeats the purpose of collecting donations.

| Richmond Hill Liberal | Thursday, September 7, 2017

There are reasons behind refusals of donations

Advice for those looking to donate

Mike Barrett/Metroland

Salvation Army Thrift Store employee Carlos Silvera (left) and store manager Matthew Brown are usually kept busy with donations regularly arriving at the Newmarket store. Thrift shops across York Region aren’t snubbing donations when they refuse certain items. Certain policies and logistics make it impossible for some organizations to accept certain items due to health regulations and safety concerns. like paint, propane tanks, barbecues, infant gear like car seats, cribs and strollers, tires and auto parts due to health and safety regulations. Many children’s items such as car seats,

have an expiry date and sometimes cribs and strollers are subject to recalls due to safety concerns. Used mattresses are a breeding ground for mould, bacteria and unwanted

guests such as bedbugs and dust mites, all of which can lead to a variety of health issues. The stores also receive clothing that is torn, stained and overly worn often.

Sort through donations carefully and if you are unsure if an item is acceptable, contact the charity you are looking to donate it to. Don’t head to the landfill immediately after an item is refused for donation as there are plenty of options when it comes to recycling or donating: • The Ontario SPCA accept donations of blankets, towels and unwearable textiles. • York Region municipalities are partnering with organizations like Diabetes Canada to operate a textile recycling program. • York Region waste depots accept electronics to recycle. • JRCC Furniture Depot in Vaughan collects housewares, indoor furniture, medical/home-care supplies and equipment. • Visit York.ca for a handy list of organizations you can donate to, location and what items they accept. • Try using resale apps to find a home for the item, you never know what people are looking for. • Dispose of hazardous materials in the proper manner at one of the many depots across York Region.
