THE AFTER DEATH EXPERIENCE

Major study finds untreated hearing loss linked to dementia Although the reason for the link is as yet unclear, a recent Johns Hopkins and National Institute on Aging study shows that seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those with normal hearing. Researchers say these findings “could lead to new ways to combat dementia, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide and carries heavy societal burdens.”

You have read a number of articles in the past The Wills Lawyer about wills and powers of attorney, and the focus of all of these articles has been what you do during your life and how you plan for after you pass away. But what actually happens to your estate after you pass away? That is the focus of this article. Where you pass away without a will, a law known as the Succession Law Reform act governs how your estate will be distributed. If you are married without children, your spouse will inherit the estate. Married with one child? Your spouse will inherit the first $200,000.00 of your estate and for the balance, your spouse will inherit 50% and your child, the other 50%. Married with two or more children? Your spouse will inherit the first $200,000.00 and one third of the remaining value. Your children will inherit the Barry Fish remaining two thirds. There are a series of problems which face a surviving spouse where there is no will. Firstly, since no executor was appointed, if probate is required, the spouse must apply to the court to be appointed as Estate Trustee without a Will. For this, he or she must have the consent of all of the beneficiaries, unless the spouse is the sole beneficiary. What if a beneficiary is under the age of eighteen or subject to incapacity? Then special arrangements have to be made to satisfy the court, in order for the surviving spouse to be able to administer the estate. What if the beneficiaries refuse to consent? Court involvement will be necessary. Secondly, since there is no will, children under age must have their portion paid into Court. Children who are eighteen will inherit without restrictions and are at risk of squandering the inheritance due to their inexperience. Thirdly, if there is no marital tie between the parties living together and one of the partners passes away as in a common law relationship, the surviving partner will not inherit and will have to settle with or fight with blood relatives to receive support or repayment for contributions made during the relationship. Where you pass away with a proper will, you have carved the above problems away from the burdens that your executor must carry out. You should be aware that the powers you give to your executor under your will are brought to life the moment that the death certificate is signed. With these powers, your executor has the immediate right to take steps in the administration of your estate. However, there are restrictions which will very quickly present themselves to your executor. Where the assets of the deceased are not held jointly with another person, and are held in a chartered bank, or a stock brokerage, a financial institution or in real estate, such assets cannot be dealt with until the Estate Trustee has been appointed by the court. For some real estate which has been held by the deceased for a number of years, there is an exemption which is not within the subject matter of this article, but aside from this exemption, no real estate can be dealt with unless the will is “probated”. Similarly, other than trivial amounts, assets in the name of the deceased solely which are held in a bank, stock brokerage, or financial institution cannot be dealt with unless the will is “probated”. What is “probate”? Probate is a commonly used term to describe what is legally known as Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee With a Will. The executor is described as an Estate Trustee and he or she applies to Court for his or her appointment. The fee paid to the Court is actually called the Estate Administration Tax and is charged at one half of a per cent on the first fifty thousand dollars of the Estate’s value. The remainder of the Estate’s value attracts a charge of one and one half per cent. These taxes have to be paid into the Court with the court application subject to some rare exceptions. How long does it take to probate a will? That depends on which court the application is filed in. There is no choice of court, as the court which has jurisdiction is the court of the domicile of the deceased. Some courts have a heavier backlog of applicants than others. However a serious component to consider is the quality of the probate application itself. The court will reject an application if it is not done accurately. This will include the wording of the application itself, the wording of the affidavit of the witness, the proper commissioning of the affidavit and the will as an exhibit. If there are no problems with the application, in a GTA court, you can currently expect the probate process to take place over a period of three to four months For the above reasons, in order to avoid or at least minimize delays in the process, it is important to consider using a lawyer familiar with this area of the law, to file a probate application. Barry Fish is the principal of the law firm of Fish & Associates, founded in 1973. Over a span of 44 years, his firm has been dealing with probate work as an area of the law practice of the firm. In the event you are concerned about issues which have arisen or are about to arise in relation to the administration of an estate, Mr. Fish or his law clerk Robyn can be reached at (905) 881-1500 extension 20. 7951 Yonge Street Thornhill Ontario L3T 2C4

‘It was the nicest room I’ve actually ever seen.’

prepare. Who knew what kind of kid would turn up at their front door? But the young people on the other side of the door were nervous too. For the most part, they were in their teens or early 20s, kicked out home or in a crisis, with nowhere to go but this stranger’s house - or the streets. Hailey recalls waiting, heart-in-throat, for Pawlick and Grimes to answer her knock on the door. The 16-year-old had been having trouble back home in Keswick. She’d been living under the care of her Nan - her legal guardian - and their relationship was a stormy one. As Nan grew increasingly ill with cancer, "I got kicked out because she couldn’t take care of me anymore". Leaving home for the last time, with no money and nowhere to sleep, she ventured into the MOBYSS van (a free, youth

to sleep." Grimes agreed. He, too, was stunned to read in that article about Nightstop that 300 youth were without shelter every night in York Region. "Here? In affluent York Region? It blew me away," Pawlick recalls. And so began the Richmond Hill family’s foray into sheltering homeless youth, part of the pioneering new 360Kids’ program, Nightstop.

First of its kind in North America The initiative, the first of its kind in North America, began last spring matching York Region families with a spare bedroom to qualified local youth in need of a place to sleep. The couple was nervous at first, despite the lengthy training and vetting they’d undergone to

Before she knew it, Hailey was being driven by Nightstop co-ordinator Jacquie Hermans to The Hub, 360Kids’ bustling youth-at-risk drop-in centre in Richmond Hill. She’d never been away from her small-town rural community before. "I thought when I got there, I was gonna get jumped. I didn’t know better." More scary times lay ahead as she and Hermans knocked on the door of a large suburban home. She envisioned the kind of foster home she’d seen in

movies, teeming with strange kids. But the Richmond Hill family was warm and eager to help. That first night, they stayed up late, chatting together in the cosy living room with the family dogs, scouring transit maps to figure out how she could get back and forth to school. It felt like home, Hailey recalls, but better, with a bedroom on the second floor and a neatly made queen-sized bed. "It was the nicest room I’ve actually ever seen. It had a bathroom attached to it!" Pawlick asked her what she’d like her to make for her school lunch, and tears filled the girl’s eyes. "No one’s ever made me lunch before. No one ever made me dinner or washed my clothes." For two weeks, Hailey lived there, making the two-hour bus ride each

way to her Keswick school, sometimes not returning until midnight from her after-school job at Walmart. When a spot became available in a 360Kids group home in Markham, Hailey was ready to move on. Her time with Katherine and Tim provided a stepping-stone, making her comfortable accessing 360Kids support programs, and prepared to be on her own. Tim and Katherine have had many more kids through their doors since then and found the experience rewarding and enlightening. Now they speak to other families, hoping to help grow the program. There is still a big need for host families, especially in the northern York Region, Hermans says. Hailey confirms that. "I know other kids [in Keswick] legitimately homeless. Most of them

stay at friends’ houses, couch surf, stay in people’s garages, and it’s really sad because they’re good kids. It’s just, there’s nowhere for them to go. "I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t come into Nightstop. I’m forever grateful that someone was there for me. ... We’re just regular teenagers who had some hard breaks and need some help."

Is it time for Remembrance Day holiday?

TheLiberal.

While there hasn’t been a rallying cry for it this year, likely owing to the fact Remembrance Day falls on a Saturday, but rarely does a Nov. 11 go by without a call being issued to make the annual commemoration of the sacrifices made by our fallen soldiers and veterans an official holiday across the country. This past summer, a bill introduced by Nova Scotia Liberal MP Colin Fraser successfully passed in the House of Commons, granting Remembrance Day the same recognition as Canada Day and Victoria Day, but it doesn’t make Nov. 11 a nationwide statutory holiday as provincial and territorial governments hold legal dominion over that realm. As it stands, the three territories and six provinces recognize Remembrance Day as an official public holiday, with Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario standing as the four that do not. If it seems like encouraging those four provinces to align with the rest of the country is a simple matter, think again. Although making Nov. 11 a statutory holiday is an idea that usually gets bandied about in Ontario around this time of year, various individuals and groups, the Royal Canadian Legion among them, have argued that designating Remembrance Day a day off would do little to get more people out to their local cenotaph for the memorial services and raised concerns the public would ultimately overlook the solemnity of the date and treat it as just another day of rest. It’s an understandable fear as no one wants Remembrance Day to become little more than the "November long weekend" and see people more interested in partying and/or winterizing their cottages than taking time to remember the fallen and pay their respects. That said, Remembrance Day 2017 presents an opportunity in that it will allow us to get a better idea of how people would treat a Nov. 11 holiday as it falls on a day many of us have off. Next year’s Remembrance Day will land on a Sunday and will similarly permit us to see how many people will attend memorial services without the obstacle of the weekday work routine. If we’re able, all of us should take the time Saturday to attend a Remembrance Day service and/or parade to preserve the memory of the fallen and express gratitude to our veterans. After all, lest we forget. Will we make good on our commitment and come together to honour the fallen and show that a statutory Remembrance Day holiday could work, or will we use the day, as many feared, to sleep in and address personal projects? The choice is ours.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Owed (Ode) to Gord He was a man we thought we knew, In his death, a dream comes true. Iconic was never once his aim, But in the end he laid claim. I cried like you did too, For a man whose story lately grew. Some scoffed when our leader shed some tears, That only fortified the council of years. His band all humble and united as one, To tell the story of a Canadian son. His brothers spoke their quiet truth, And of the Ogoki Indigenous youth. Thank you for insight into ourselves,

As a nation, the grief in us swells. As you look down with your eyes wide, Your inspiration begets our pride. Bobcaygeon was my very fave, Small-town tribute with a wink and a wave. Ahead by a century, that’s for sure, Nothing said who we are more pure. In the King’s Town they gathered in the square, Our very own Elvis with his cross to bear. And so they came both young and old, To understand a country’s gold. My father’s name the same as his, Perhaps a reminder of just what is. Both to cancer they did succumb, We know where they are

Did you know? When no longer needed, ﬂuorescent light bulbs become household hazardous waste (HHW).

The rain didn’t dampen the spirits of those creating a human ring of peace. The York Region District School Board hosted a unity rally called the Ring of Peace: Inspire Learning, Inspire Action to show support for safe, inclusionary spaces free from discrimination and hate for all learners. Close to 1,000 staff and students from across York Region walked, reflected and clasped hands at the Dr. Bette Stephenson Centre for Learning in Richmond Hill. It was organized in light of recent local and global incidents of discrimination and hate that have had an impact on students, staff and communities.

House sales begin to rebound LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com York Region’s house sales rut may be over, according to the latest numbers from the Toronto Real Estate Board. Sales increased 13.5 per in one month, jumping from 944 sales in September up to 1,072 sales in October. That is still down 42.9 per cent from October 2016. York’s sales mirror other regions in the Greater Toronto Area, said real estate broker Zoocasa, which analyzed the board’s figures. "Similar to the other TREB regions, the sales slump that York Region had been experiencing these past few months has ended," CEO Lauren Haw said. "While sales and average prices are still down from the highs that we saw a year ago, this was influenced by a shortage of inventory, which has also recovered this month. We’re

While sales in York are up, prices are down. In September, the average price of a resale home in the region was $991,339, which dipped to $961,431 in October, a decrease of 3 per cent. On a year-over-year ba-

MYTH: Back pain and sciatica will just “go away” with some rest. FACT: If you are dealing with back pain, buttock pain or leg pain, then you must seek help from a specialist immediately. Left untreated, back pain and sciatica can lead to permanent nerve damage - and lifelong pain. MYTH: Pain is the only problem associated with back pain and sciatica. FACT: In severe cases, the nerve damage can lead to the inability to control your bowels or bladder - leading to embarrassing situations. MYTH: You must take pain medications to deal with back pain and sciatica. FACT: Drugs like muscle relaxants, pain killers, narcotics, antidepressants, and anti-seizure medications have serious potential side-effects and do not cure the root cause of the problem. MYTH: “I must have done something wrong to get this pain.” FACT: Physical work or simply sitting at a desk for long periods can lead to back pain and sciatica. Accidents

and trauma can also be the culprits. Pregnancy can be a cause. It can affect anyone - including super-fit celebrities like Tiger Woods, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. MYTH: Stop exercising and get several weeks of bed rest to overcome the pain. FACT: Staying active can help to relieve back or sciatic pain and prevent the pain from getting worse. Staying inactive in bed could be the worst advice. MYTH: Back pain and sciatica require surgery. FACT: NO!

REMEMBRANCE DAY 2017 COMMUNITY

Legion volunteer wants to ensure vets are remembered LAURA FINNEY lfinney@yrmg.com Ross Toms wants to make sure the sacrifices made by the soldiers with ties to Richmond Hill are remembered. "That’s important to me," he said. "We will remember." Toms is the treasurer, second vice-president and branch historian at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 375 in Richmond Hill, and he works hard to make sure many are honoured properly. Recently, he helped fix the misspelling of Earl Hughes, a soldier who fought during the First

World War, on the cenotaph. "They left out the h in Hughes," said Toms. "It said Hugs." But he said Hughes’ brother would have even more right to be upset. He was killed a year later and is not on the cenotaph. "His brother lived here longer," he said. "But his father had moved away by the time he was killed." Through his research, Toms has found at least seven soldiers who he would like to honour. "There is more work to be done," he said. "I do not think you should ever quit. You should keep looking."

Toms himself is not a veteran, but his father served in the First World War, and his son currently serves in the air force. He said his dad was a member of his legion until his death. "One of the reasons why I think it is important to have a legion is they could go there," he said. "They only wanted to talk to people who had been there and done that and had the emotional and physical scars to show for it." He concedes the role of the legion has been changing, but it is still important. The legion now supports many aging vets, he

said, and it will be important to support new veterans from other wars like Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq. While poppy funds do not go back to the legion, they do go back to the community and to veteran programs. Toms said at least 80 to 90 per cent will stay local. And, in Richmond Hill, support for the poppy fund from the community has been great. "We have to watch coffee shops and grocery stores ... because the boxes will be filled right up," he said.

Newmarket mother Darlene Mills is calling for students to be compensated for any losses during the college strike and is concerned about how the time will be made up once they return.

Students should be compensated for college strike: mom TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com

ernment and colleges to reimburse students as a Change.org petition calling for full-time and part-time students to be reimbursed $30 per day and $20 per day, respectively, has gained 121,398 signatures. "We, the students, want to be in school and we want to learn. We are paying for it," the petition states. "If the two bargaining teams do not consider our educational and employment prospects as motive enough to reach an agreement, then perhaps a justifiable hit to the colleges’ bottom line will." Ontario advanced education and skills development minister Deb Matthews has publicly acknowledged the situation is impacting students at Queen’s Park. She met with petition organizers a week ago, but nothing was said about reimbursement and no commitment was made about the government ordering faculty back to class. The two parties are discussing contracts, job security, academic freedom and increased wages.

Darlene Mills has one question at the top of her list: what’s in it for the students? The Newmarket mother of a Georgian College nursing student doesn’t see any silver lining for the students during the current college strike that has left more than 500,000 students out in the cold at 24 Ontario colleges. It was just announced today the faculty representatives of the Ontario Public Services Employees Union (OPSEU) and the College Employer Council (CEC) will head back to the negotiating table tomorrow. "The strike, which is now into its third week, is costing the students and parents dearly," Mills said. "I think we should get reimbursed for those losses." While her son has returned home as classes are not in session, she continues to pay $100-per-month for his parking permit and $500 in monthly rent to avoid losing his living quar-

ters when professors get back into the classroom. "The communication surrounding this has been inadequate and unacceptable to say the least," she said. "We don’t know when they are negotiating or if the government is willing to take action to make class resume. I can’t be the only parent who has more questions than answers." When students do get the chance to get back to their post-secondary studies are they going to be expected to double their already taxing workload? Will classes run for an extra month in the summer to make up time and thus hinder their summer employment opportunities? What are the students who are trying to complete apprenticeship or co-op hours supposed to do? "We didn’t ask to go on strike and the students and the parents didn’t get to vote either," she said. "Someone needs to be responsible for the suffering caused by this and it shouldn’t be the students or the parents." This local mother isn’t alone in calling on the gov-

TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com The Richmond Hill Rotary TV Auction has come to an end. For those who were looking forward to finding the perfect Christmas gift come the first week of December, sadly the Richmond Hill Rotary Club has announced, after 37 years, the auction will be silent due to changes at the office of the local broadcaster where the auction was televised across southern York Region. Over the years, the auction has raised more than $2 million for local charities. "There have been discussions about converting it to an online platform but nothing has been decided and it won’t be up and running this year," rotary member Peter Szoke said. Previous auction participants were informed via

email and Szoke said a few heartfelt responses had been received, including one of the original participants who was 15 years old when it became a family tradition. "We used to plan the weekend together as a family, sit in front of the TV, jammies and Bailey’s Irish Cream in hand, with our rotary phone and try and outbid for that awesome item," the letter said. "I am now 51 and I would do anything to watch the Rotary Club Auction, no Christmas parties, no shopping, no nothing, just the auction." She didn’t mind spending the extra money on items since the proceeds were supporting charities. She and her now adult children have enjoyed this pre-holiday tradition and is saddened by its end. Hundreds of local York Region businesses have donated sports tickets, jewelry, sports memora-

bilia, toys, electronics, gift vouchers, gift baskets, clothing, spa packages and golf packages. Some of the charities that have benefitted include: the Canadian Spinal Research Organization, Eva’s Initiatives, Sunshine Foundation, My House: Rainbow Resources of York Region, Caribbean North Charities Foundation, 360 Kids, High Notes, Ontario Lung Association, Heart and Stroke Foundation - York South Region, Helpmate, Community Information Services and Volunteer Bureau, the York Centre for Children, Youth and Family, York Region Multiple Sclerosis, Community Circles of Richmond Hill, Big Brothers Big Sisters of York, the Canadian Hearing Society, the Curtain Club, Unionville Home Society, Victim Services, Easter Seals and Hospice Richmond Hill.

Many sites in York Region once home to Huron-Wendat and others

Mantle Site (Whitchurch-Stouffville) The Mantle Site is the largest and most complex ancestral Huron-Wendat village to be excavated in the lower Great Lakes region. From 1500 to 1530, the site was inhabited by 2,000 people over 4.2 hectares.

Aurora Site (Whitchurch-Stouffville) The community of this Huron-Wendat ancestral village is believed to have arrived en masse from the relatively nearby Mantle Site around 1550. The village is 3.4 hectares, fortified with rows of palisades. The site is located on the southeast corner of Kennedy Road and Vandorf Sideroad.

Seed-Barker Site (Vaughan) Seed-Barker is another very large Huron-Wendat village site, contemporaneous with Mantle, but on the other side of York Region. Excavations have found evidence of seven longhouses and 13 other structures, as well as more than 11,000 artifacts.

Lost Brant Site (Richmond Hill) Situated around Lake Wilcox, this site is one of more than 60 sites around the lake from different periods of occupations discovered by archaeologists. TRCA has excavated Lost Brant since 1992, and it’s yielded more than 9,400 artifacts that hint to activities like game processing, storage, refuse and cooking/heating.

The role of an agent in buying or selling your home If you have a sore tooth, you consult a dentist. If your furnace breaks down, you call up an HVAC specialist. Why wouldn’t you consult an agent when buying or selling the most expensive purchase of your life?If you are looking to enter the real estate market, you want someone who is experienced and has extensive local knowledge in the area. While the idea of being your own agent may be appealing, flying solo could end up costing you a lot more in the long run than the agent’s commission you save. Buying or selling a home is not only a major financial undertaking, but an emotional one as well. From valuing and strategically pricing your property so it sells quickly to understanding how to stage a space so it appeals to more potential buyers, a professional real estate agent knows how to navigate this process on your behalf, advises a regional director at a real estate agency.

Here’s how an agent can help you next time you decide to buy or sell: It’s a numbers game. One of the biggest value-adds of hiring a real estate agent is the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) they can provide that opens up the door to literally thousands of people and properties. There is no comparison when it comes to the exposure a real estate agent brings to the table versus private selling. It’s a full-time job. A real estate agent lives and breathes the market — it’s their job to know. If you are buying or selling on your own, you are responsible to for the endless research, telephone tag and negotiations, all tasks that can add countless hours on top of your other responsibilities. Also, if you are late responding to requests that come in, potential buyers may think you are not interested and decide to move on.

The fine print. An agent will have signed a legal agreement to do their best to represent your interests as your partner. You will have the peace of mind knowing that your biggest purchase or biggest sale is being well managed. Plus, when it comes to the fine print, you can rest assured that an experienced real estate agent can help clarify and guide you through the process without racking up costly legal fees. As a buyer, it’s free. When you are weighing the pros and cons, remember that as a buyer, you don’t pay to use a real estate agent. The agent’s commissions are split with the selling agent. Save yourself the time of searching, calling and booking all the appointments and have a trusted professional help save you time and potentially even money. Find more information online at remax.ca.

The emergency area at Mackenzie Health hospital in Richmond Hill.

Hospital boosts local capacity with 120 beds in new care centre TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital will have more acute-bed capacity thanks to recent approval for an additional 120 beds at the new Reactivation Care Centre, located at the former Humber River Hospital Finch Site in Toronto. "The additional beds Mackenzie Health will open within the Reactivation Care Centre will help ensure our patients receive the highest level of quality care that best meets their clinical needs in the most appropriate care setting," said Mackenzie Health CEO Altaf Stationwala in making the announcement last week. The Reactivation Centre brings together patients from five hospitals including Newmarket’s Southlake Regional Health Centre, MarkhamStouffville Hospital, Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital and Toronto’s North York General and Humber River Hospital to provide patients who no longer need acute care with specialized, reactivation care in a setting that best supports them. Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital will have 30 beds dedicated to patients who will make the transition in early December to the Reactivation Care Centre. Up to 90 additional beds for patients who need additional complex continuing care and rehabilitation services will be added in late winter 2018 to make up the 120-bed total. Mackenzie Health has an Urgent Care Centre for patients with non-life-threatening conditions and will be opening the new Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital, which will include 350 acute-care beds and a full emergency department, in 2020. "Our team of clinicians at the Reactivation Care Centre will focus on delivering reactivation care in an environment that is more appropriate than an acute-care hospital and features enhanced rehabilitation and complementary therapy services," said Susan Kwolek, Mackenzie Health’s executive vice president, chief operating officer and chief nursing officer. "This solution will also directly help those patients waiting for a bed to be admitted sooner as it will provide much needed acute care capacity and support emergency department flow, which has been at overcapacity for more than a year," Kwolek added.
