HEALTH

Hoarding habit tough to break TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com It all started, innocently enough, with a childhood rock collection.

But decades later, the middleaged mother of three sons found herself raging in a wild family fight that left her temporarily homeless, barred from a house so stuffed with papers, furniture, clothes and other hoarded goods she was banned from living there.

How did it get to this for the Vaughan resident?

Now 54, Sandra (not her real name) grew up in Toronto, the daughter of what she describes as poor Italian immigrants who she said were both hoarders.

"It was more my father than my mother. They had the immigrant mentality and it was whatever you could get for free," she said in an interview last month.

She believes she picked up her hoarding habit from her parents and said her desire to acquire more and more stuff comes down to a "fear of being poor."

Sandra, who works in the education field and lives on her own after a divorce four years ago, said her hoarding came and went in phases over the decades but intensified when she split up with her husband. In addition, her three twenty-something sons chose to live with their father, so now alone, Sandra was free to hoard at will. And she did.

"I would get a high from collecting the stuff, a physical high.

I could pick up a huge, heavy cabinet but then found I couldn't lift it down off a truck," she said in describing how hoarding made her feel.

She started piling "collectables" such as papers, clothes and furniture items she found by the roadside on recycling days, in her sons' old rooms and the house eventually became so full, it was

Divisive politics unCanadian

The Vaughan Citizen, published every Thursday, is a division of the Metroland Media Group Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The Metroland family of newspapers is comprised of more than 100 community publications across Ontario.

W

hat are Canadian values? How do we define them? What’s in our DNA that indisputably says, ‘this is us’?

If one were to pose those questions to 10 different people, we would quite possibly get 10 different answers.

Metroland Media did recently ask people across the county to express what they believe our values are.

Answers included: “We try not to offend people.” “The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.” “Taking care of veterans.” “Owning a house and having a job.”

“Heritage and democracy.” “Respect for our other Canadians, our neighbours.”

The Vaughan Citizen is a member of the National NewsMedia Council. Complainants are urged to bring their concerns to the attention of the newspaper and, if not satisfied, write The National NewsMedia Council, Suite 200, 890 Yonge St., Toronto, ON M4W 2H2.

Leitch, who cheered Donald Trump’s win, has actually seen her support grow of late.

If Canada’s genetic complexity is such that the values we cherish are so diverse, then what are we to make of MP Kellie Leitch’s vow to screen potential immigrants for conformity to those principles?

Leitch, a candidate in the race to replace Stephen Harper as federal Conservative leader, says if she’s in charge “every visitor, immigrant and refugee will be screened for Canadian values.”

Presumably, these values would be defined by Leitch. Immigrants would have to conform or try somewhere else.

It’s a proposal destined to divide rather than unite people, but that is likely Leitch’s intent. We just witnessed an anti-immigrant candidate capture the United States presidency in perhaps the ugliest, most divisive campaign we’ve ever seen.

Leitch, who cheered Donald Trump’s win, has actually seen her support grow of late, a development that may embolden her as she works to demonize another group - Canada’s so-called political and media ‘elites’ .

If history and Trump’s example teach us anything, it’s that politicians can manipulate angry, alienated, fearful people.

It’s important that we recognize Leitch’s approach for what it is - the same faux populist, obnoxious opportunism that inspired the Harper government to give us the barbaric practices tipline, the attacks on the niqab, and references to old-stock Canadians.

(Had Harper instituted a values test, it would likely have screened for conservative, rather than Canadian values).

Divisive polices couldn’t extend Harper’s reign and we contend that Leitch will also be disappointed as she seeks to divide us for her own ends.

The Republican party could not stop Trump, but federal Tories can certainly send a message that they will not head down the same path as they select a new leader.

On reflection, I realized that this should not surprise me, or any Canadians, since America also has a First-Past-The-Post system, though different from ours. Neither country has yet discovered what almost all other countries have - A Proportional Representation (PR) system - which is a much better way of voting.

But I am optimistic that Canada will be lucky again - I think we are about to make the change to PR. All the signs are there, that this year we will jump from having

editorial is not based on reality. The OMB serves an important function for neutralizing decisions of biased municipal politicians. These politicians, by and large, do not necessarily vote for what is good for their constituents but rather for what the neighbourhood wants, be it good or bad.

Let’s be honest; nobody wants change in their neighbourhood regardless of the proposed redevelopments scale. Not only will the local councillor vote against the development but he/she will lobby the rest of council to vote likewise. The only fallback a developer has is the OMB, who are not swayed by

municipal politicians.

I agree that the members of the OMB should not be appointed. A solution may be to have them elected in provincial ridings during provincial elections, not municipal elections.

Without the OMB, very few developments will proceed based on the current approval process.

If you want to do away with the OMB, make the approval process fairer and not politically motivated. There are ways to accomplish this but that is not the topic of this editorial.

FINALLY - Straight talk About Sciatica FACT: Physical work or simply sitting at a desk for long periods can lead to sciatica. Accidents and trauma can also be the culprits. Pregnancy can cause sciatica.

Sciatica can affect anyone - including superfit celebrities like Tiger Woods, Sylvester Stallone, and British Olympic medalist Ian Wynne.

MYTH: Stop exercising and get several weeks of bed rest to overcome sciatica.

FACT: Staying active can help to relieve sciatic pain and prevent the pain getting worse. Staying inactive in bed could be the worst advice - based on a recent study in the Netherlands.

MYTH: Sciatica requires surgery.

FACT: NO! There’s been a huge breakthrough in the treatment of sciatica and lower back pain. It’s a new procedure called Non-Surgical Re-Constructive Spinal Care. The excellent results from this treatment have been published in major medical journals. Success rates are up to 90%.

MYTH: “There’s nothing anyone can really do. I’m just stuck with this for the rest of my life.”

FACT: With the correct treatment from a healthcare professional who specialises in sciatica, you can find relief from the core

cause - and the symptoms.

MYTH: Getting Sciatica properly diagnosed is expensive.

FACT: Not true. Dr. Birk of Atlantis Chiropractic & Wellness in Woodbridge is currently offering an initial consultation for Just $27.

Dr. Birk and his team of fully-trained spinal care professionals have helped over 1,000 patients find relief from agonising back pain and sciatica.

This procedure does not require a hospital stay. The focus is on finding - and correcting - the original cause of the back pain and sciatica.

According to Dr. Birk, “We use a combination of ultra-advanced technology, for precisely diagnosing the cause of your low back pain and sciatica. This means superior long-term results for most people.”

Almost Immediate Relief From Pain Because the treatment is non-surgical, safe, and easy, most patients report an almost immediate relief from their back pain.

Patient John B. from Woodbridge wrote, “My back pain was unbearable but the worst thing was the searing burning pain I felt in my buttock and leg... my wife insisted I see a Chiropractor. I’m 95% better in just a couple of weeks.”

yorkregion.com

Are you suffering from back pain or sciatica? Then it’s likely your biggest problem is pain. But there’s another major problem: bad information.

To end sciatica misery you must have the right information. Pay close attention because I’m going to destroy sciatica myths and give you the facts.

MYTH: 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 sciatica professional immediately.

Left untreated, sciatica can lead to permanent nerve damage - and lifelong pain.

MYTH: Pain is the only problem associated with sciatica.

FACT: In severe cases, sciatica can lead to the inability to control your bowels or bladder - leading to embarrassing situations.

MYTH: You must take pain medications to deal with sciatica.

FACT: Drugs like muscle relaxants, pain killers, narcotics, antidepressants, and antiseizure medications have serious potential side-effects and do not cure the root cause of sciatica.

MYTH: “I must have done something wrong to get sciatica.”

Take the Next Step - END the Suffering...

Initial Consultation Just $27!

YRMG Santa Fund helps families give kids a happy holiday LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com There was little joy in the first Christmas Jolyana Hamoodah spent in Canada with her young children.

While the native of Iraq was grateful to be in the safety her new homeland, she missed her family back home and had no money for gifts or a special meal to

make the day brighter for her daughter and son.

The small family spent the day watching TV in their Newmarket apartment while Hamoodah, a single mother, tried to hide her tears from Leza and Christian.

"Christmas was just Christmas with nothing.

We just stayed at home watching TV. I was just

crying, crying and I don't know what I have to do. I called my family and they tell me it's OK. It was snowing and we don't have a car, we don't have anything.

No friends. It's hard when you don't have family or friends or anyone," the single mother of Leza, 6 and Christian, 3, said.

"But last year was different. People gave us gifts.

My children were so happy and we feel that we have something special in Canada."

Last year was brighter because Hamoodah became a client of York Region Media Group's Santa Fund.

YORK REGION - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective

buyers away altogether.

In most cases, you can make a reasonable preinspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

Waiting game: Patients in line too long to see ER doctors, says HQO CHRIS SIMON csimon@yrmg.com

You may have a shorter wait to see a doctor in an Ontario emergency room these days, but many of those departments are under an increasing amount of stress, according to a report released by the province's health care quality adviser.

Health Quality Ontario (HQO) recently released Under Pressure: Emergency Department Performance in Ontario. The report takes a broad view of the state of hospital ERs in the province and looks at performance measures such as patient satisfaction rates, ER visits and time spent at the hospital. However, its findings offer a warning to many ERs - a large-scale incident could cripple a department's ability to offer quality patient care.

"Many patients wait too long in crowded emergency departments to be seen by

a doctor," states the report,

the longer a patient waits

all population during that

Steve Somerville/Metroland

Sherwin Jamisola holds his son Syrus at the entrance of an assesssment room which is available at hqontario.ca. "While progress has been made in overall performance, an (ER) could be strained beyond its capacity to provide quality to all its patients by a bad flu season, or if a hospital nearby has to temporarily close its emergency department. Long waits to see a doctor are not merely inconvenient... there can be serious negative consequences."

The risk of infectious disease outbreaks, medical errors and death increases

for assessment, says the report.

Under Pressure shows that the maximum amount of time nine out of 10 patients spent in the department dropped from 8.7 to 7.8 hours between 2008-2009 and 2014-2015.

The limit patients waited in emergency to see a doctor also dropped, from 3.6 to three hours.

However, the number of annual visits to provincial ERs increased 13.4 per cent, more than double the 6.2 increase in Ontario's over-

time. In total, there were nearly 5.9 million unscheduled Emergency visits in 2014-2015.

The increase in visits is blamed largely on Ontario's aging population - patients over 65 tend to require more frequent and complex care.

Many sick patients, who should be admitted to hospital or handed over to long-term care facilities, get stuck in ERs for extended periods of time because there is a lack of available beds in in-patient wards,

Health Quality president and CEO Dr. Joshua Tepper said.

"Patients may spend hours and sometimes even days lying on stretchers in emergency examination rooms or hallways," he said. "Even with the demographic challenges the province is facing, the concerted efforts made by government, hospitals and others to improve the performance of Ontario's emergency departments have brought many positive changes. But it's clear that much work still needs to be done to make emergency departments work better for all patients."

There was a 29.1 per cent increase in visits by people ages 65 and older.

Visits by more seriously ill - or 'high-acuity' - patients who were not admitted to hospital increased by 44.1 per cent, while the number of people who were admitted rose 17.5.

However, the report also seems to direct some blame

toward other areas of the healthcare system. 47 per cent of adult Ontarians reported visiting Emergency for a condition they thought could have been treated by their primary care provider, if that doctor or nurse practitioner was available.

All these extra visits put ERs "under a great deal of pressure", the report states.

Ontario has set targets for ER length of stays. The proportion of visits completed within the four-hour non-admitted low-acuity patients increased to 89.9 per cent, up from 84.6.

Meanwhile, visits completed within the eighthour target for high-acuity patients and admitted patients rose to 85.7 per cent from 79.8.

Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care spokesperson David Jensen says the province is providing an additional $140 million in funding to Ontario hospitals this year, to help further reduce wait times.

HEALTHCARE

York Region hospitals make strides on ER wait times CHRIS SIMON csimon@yrmg.com Many other Ontario hospitals can look toward York Region for inspiration when reducing wait times.

Newmarket's Southlake Regional Health Centre is top in Ontario for ER wait times - at about 1.3 hours on average. According to Health Quality Ontario's recently released Under Pressure: Emergency Department Performance in Ontario, the limit patients waited in Emergency to see a doctor in 2014-2015 was three hours.

"We are leaders in the province, specifically our door to doctor time, which far exceeds the provincial average," Emergency department director Kim Storey said. "We've found a number of operational efficiencies and a philosophy change. We're able to react, in real time, to our patients. We're really

proud. Wait times translate into quality of care."

Southlake's ER handles about 300 patients per day - they're on pace for 111,000 in total this year. That makes the Southlake ER one of the busiest in the province, she said.

Physician schedules are tailored to meet patient needs every day and the doctors are assisted by 'navigators' tasked with organizing some of the routine elements of their jobs. This allows the doctors to focus on providing care, rather than searching for reports or scheduling their time. Also, the provincial Pay-for-Results financial incentive program has played a prominent role in motivating the hospital to reduce wait times, she said.

Markham Stouffville Hospital is also exceeding expectations, with wait times of 2.1 hours in 2014-2015 and two in 2015-2016. Among other

initiatives, MSH has an estimated ER wait time section for its Markham and Uxbridge facilities on msh.on.ca. The ER pages include: the number of patients at the hospital, a stopwatch image with a wait time indicator, and a graph showing the estimated busiest times for the department over the upcoming six hours.

There's also a list of potential alternatives to the ER, like local clinics and links for Telehealth Ontario and Health Care Connect, posted prominently on the right hand side of the pages.

Meanwhile, wait times are also declining at Richmond Hill's Mackenzie Health in each of the last three years. So far in the 2016-2017 fiscal year, wait time is 2.6 hours, compared to 3.2 the year before. The wait time was 3.4 hours in 2014-2015.

"On any given day, we see 250 to 320 patients at

Waiting area in Southlake Regional Health Centre's emergency department. (the) Emergency department," Mackenzie spokesperson Catalina Guran said, noting the hospital had 109,000 emergency and urgent care visits in 20152016.

Mackenzie offsets some ER visits by offering an Urgent Care Centre, 9401 Jane St. in Vaughan, for patients of all ages with non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries that do

not require hospitalization or immediate surgery. The centre has on-site diagnostic and treatment services such as; x-rays, casts, stitches and laboratory tests.

For Ontario: Improved wait times Investments in hospital operating costs across the province will lower wait times for surgeries like hip and knee replacements, and improve access to diagnostic testing like MRIs and CT scans.

407 Transitway - Hurontario Street to Highway 400 Regional Municipalities of Peel and York, Ontario Ministry of Transportation THE PROJECT The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is conducting the Planning, Preliminary Design and Environmental Assessment of the 407 Transitway from west of Hurontario Street at the boundary of the Cities of Brampton and Mississauga to east of Highway 400 in the City of Vaughan. The 407 Transitway includes a fully grade separated transit facility on an exclusive right-of-way, running along the Highway 407 Corridor. The Transitway facility will consist of 23 km of runningway and several stations that will include parking facilities, transit integration and other amenities. Subject to the outcome of the study, the 407 Transitway will be implemented initially as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) with the opportunity to convert to Light Rail Transit (LRT) in the future.

This 23 km segment forms part of the 150 km long high-speed interregional facility planned to be ultimately constructed on a separate right-of-way that parallels Highway 407 from Burlington to Highway 35/115. This Transitway is a component within the official plans of the stakeholder municipalities and of the Province’s commitment to support transit initiatives in the Greater Golden Horseshoe through the Metrolinx Regional Transportation Plan.

Supporters of Tatiana Sousa congregate outside Newmarket Courthouse during a break from proceedings for the sentencing of the youth that was driving the vehicle in which she was killed in a crash Oct. 24, 2015. Her mother, Carina Sousa, stands fifth from the right.

THE PROCESS MTO is carrying out a Planning Study for the 407 Transitway prior to initiating the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings. The Planning Study includes a review of existing conditions, a forecast ridership and service plan study, and an assessment of potential Transitway alignments and station location alternatives. The Notice of Commencement for the formal TPAP and the Notice regarding the release of study documentation will be published in local newspapers at a later time. All information produced as part of this study is available at www.407transitway.com.

PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE (PIC) # 1 PICs will be held at two (2) key milestones during the study. The first PIC will be held at the following two locations: Date: December 6, 2016 Time: 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Location: Greenbriar Recreation Centre 1100 Central Park Drive, Brampton, ON L6S 2C9

Date: December 8, 2016 Time: 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Location: Woodbridge Pool and Memorial Arena 5020 Highway 7, Woodbridge, ON L4L 1T1

The results of the Planning Study will be displayed including introduction to the Transitway, existing conditions, ridership forecast, potential service plans, potential alignments and station location alternatives, and identification of the initially preferred planning alignment and station locations. MTO staff and their consultants will be on hand to answer any questions and to receive your input. A second PIC will be held at a later time to present the technically preferred route alignment and stations, potential environmental impacts and prescribed mitigation measures to a preliminary design level of detail. Notification of the second PIC will also be published in local newspapers.

Probation for Vaughan teen after deadly crash JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com To those who knew her the best, Tatiana Sousa never cared much about clothes or dolls growing up, but loved those around her more than anything, especially her brother, Antero Sousa Jr..

It was in the lead up to Halloween, on Oct. 24, 2015, when Tatiana tagged along with Antero Jr., this time to go to an abandoned home on Teston Road, in Vaughan, the teens heard was "haunted".

The pair were in an Infinity SUV with four other friends - Tatiana was sitting beside Joshua Ferreira, Alessandro Borrelli was in the third row and Antero Jr. in the passenger side of the SUV. The driver, a Vaughan 18-year-old who was 16 at the time, cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act after he was criminally charged with dangerous driving following what came next.

The teenagers, all aged 16, except Tatiana, who was 15, couldn't find the home and got lost on Teston Road on that dark, wet night.

The driver was speeding at an estimated rate of 100 km/h on the 60 km/h road.

Although the teens in the vehicle repeatedly told him to slow down, Antero Jr. himself telling him three separate times, the driver carried on, the vehicle's wheels lifting off the pavement each time it crested a hill.

When the SUV landed after the final one, it struck the gravel shoulder, flipped and landed on its roof in a fourmetre deep ravine. In the aftermath, Tatiana and Ferreira died, Borrelli was seriously injured and for the rest, emotional and physical pain lingers.

At the Newmarket Courthouse Nov. 21, the emotion was palpable as the courtroom filled with Tatiana's supporters, all wearing white t-shirts with a large photo of her emblazoned on the front.

In front of Justice Howard Chisvin sat the young man who pleaded guilty to a lesser provincial charge of careless driving, his head bowed and his dangerous driving charges withdrawn.

With the second largest Italian-Canadian constituency in Canada, it seems only fitting KingVaughan MP Deb Schulte would push to make June National Italian Heritage Month.

Schulte has done just that with a private members bill in Parliament, introduced Friday, Nov. 18. If passed, the bill would replace the Ontario Italian Heritage Month Act, passed in 2010.

The bill has the support of 13 Liberal caucus members of Italian descent, including Francesco Sorbarara of Vaughan-Woodbridge.

"Italy's national holiday, Festa della Repubblica, is celebrated on June 2 each year and the entire month holds great historical significance for the Italian community worldwide," according to a statement from the MPs. The bill must now go through two more readings before it becomes law.

SantaFest in Vaughan features ‘mind-blowing’ surprises

Parade takes place Sunday, Nov. 27 along Major Mackenie Drive, starting at 2 p.m.

ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS amartinrobbins@yrmg.com

When Santa's sleigh slides into the city Sunday (Nov. 27) he will be bringing along some "mind-blowing surprises," organizers say.

And joining jolly old St. Nick will be the most floats Vaughan's parade has featured since its inception 17 years ago.

"We are very proud to announce this is our largest ever SantaFest Parade in its history with over 94 participating floats," Elvira Caria, MC at the Nov. 16 media launch, announced.

This year's parade will once again be celebrating the city's diverse cultural make-up, with the International Way section featuring floats from a host of communities including African, Filipino, Hindu, Italian, Korean, Latino, Pakistani, Portuguese, Russian, and Tamil, among others. "(Human Endeavour) have actually invited Syrian Refugees who have come here in the year 2016 ... and

they are going to be on our floats and they are going to feel the love that exists in the city of Vaughan and in Canada," Caria said. "We cannot wait to welcome them and we cannot wait to show them that you're free to celebrate anything you want in this country."

Also returning is the pre-parade Block Party, starting at 1 p.m. at the northwest corner of Melville Avenue and Major Mackenzie Drive.

It features live entertainment by Arcadia Academy of Music plus the Home Depot Kids Workshop, holiday ornament painting courtesy of Colour Me Mine - Vaughan and Top Notch Stars showcasing their youth basketball teams and offering opportunities for kids to shoot hoops.

"We decided we're going to focus a little bit on the three Fs and it goes a little bit like this: fun, fresh and a little flashy," Caria said. "This year, the block party is going to get a lot louder so if you live around Major Mackenzie and Melville, we're apologizing in advance."

The parade, which runs along Major Makenzie Drive between Hwy. 400 and city hall, starts at 2 p.m. - and you won't want to miss it, Caria said.

"Believe me when I tell you there are surprises within the parade this year that are just going to blow your mind."

For more information, visit the SantaFest website.

Parade takes place Sunday, Nov. 27 along Major Mackenie Drive, starting at 2 p.m.

Number of people with dementia to double by 2031 ● From page 3 means a lot to her. They should have more of these (centres).”

With an aging population and a growing number of patients with dementia, there is an increasing need for services, including those that cater to multicultural residents, Loren Freid, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of York Region, said.

“The needs are not being met. The dementia population is substantially larger than the services that are here for them,” he said.

Because short-term memory is the first stage of memory to go with Alzheimer’s and dementia, the diseases’ victims born overseas often lose the ability to speak the English they learned after moving to Canada and revert to their mother tongues, Freid said.

“All of this is a unique challenge here in York Region for a couple of reasons. One is York Region has perhaps the fastestgrowing population of seniors across the country,” he said.

“While dementia is not a normal part of the aging process, age is its most significant risk factor. So, York Region is essentially ground zero for seeing an increase in people with dementia.”

There are about 15,000 people in the region with some form of dementia, which is expected to double by 2031.

There are about 80 languages spoken in the Greater Toronto Area, according to the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance.

“York Region as part of the GTA forms the largest,

(T)he wait lists are long. Last year, wait lists for clients in the Vaughan area were approaching one year.

–Dr. Giovanni Marotta

most diverse ethnocultural community in Canada so it is extremely important to have dementia programs in the native languages of the people who live here,” Freid said.

Not only do programs help people with the disease communicate more easily, but they also encourage family members to work with organizations such as the Alzheimer’s Society to get their loved one the care they need, he said.

The society, a leader in providing programs, including staff able to provide services in different languages, helps about 2,200 residents and their families a year. That’s only about 15 per cent of the 15,000 York residents with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Both Freid and Dr. Giovanni Marotta, clinical adviser to the CBAO seniors day program, are worried about the impact of the growing population of Alzheimer’s and dementia patients on the health care system.

“There are 360,000 cases of dementia in Canada and every minute, a new case is diagnosed,” Marotta said.

“Dementia is ranked fourth in the world for

disease burden and that’s increasing.”

The day program, sponsored by CBAO and Active Green + Ross, helps clients perform to the best of their cognitive and behavioural abilities while also giving caregivers a break, Marotta said.

“What also makes our program unusual is that it has come from generous donors from within our community. They’ve seen the gap in care and the suffering within our Italian-Canadian families with long wait lists,” he said.

“We have a number of day programs here in the Greater Toronto Area but the wait lists are long. Last year, wait lists for clients in the Vaughan area were approaching one year.”

The centre looks like a light industrial workplace rather than a nursing home or community centre.

“Many individuals with dementia are afraid that the usual day programs in nursing home settings are a preparatory step to get them ready for (a) nursing home,” Marotta said. “(At CBAO), it is just the opposite. We also know that many of our elders with dementia were blue collar workers who had little time for hobbies. The program tries to invite them into a return to a work environment, which is a familiar setting for them. They are more receptive to the physical, mental and social exercises inherent in the program structure.”

Maintaining intellectual and functional abilities allows people with dementia to hold on to their independence and avoid nursing home care for longer, Marotta said.

New hospice offers choice for terminally ill patients LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com

Without residential hospice beds, terminally ill patients are forced to choose between dying in hospital or at home.

While people want to die in the comfort of their home surrounded by loved ones, they often choose spending their final days

in hospital for fear of being a burden on their families.

That is why a new regional residential hospice being built in Newmarket is so crucial, says Dr. Cindy So, the regional clinical lead of palliative care for the Central Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) palliative care network.

"Currently, in York

Region we only have three residential hospice beds and while our friends at (Richmond Hill's) Hill House Hospice are doing incredible work, the demand for palliative care and hospice care continues to grow."

While there are some great palliative community supports available, they are often not enough, said

So, a palliative care doctor at Southlake Regional Health Centre.

"I see time and time again that patients and families in desperation come to the emergency room and, sadly, they die on a stretcher in the ER. That is simply not appropriate nor is it dignified," she said.

"To me, hospice rep-

resents the best of both worlds. It provides a warm, familiar, homelike environment while still providing the 24-hour professional care."

The centre, which will serve the whole region, will be named the Margaret Bahen Hospice for York Region in recognition of one of Southlake's most generous supporters,

Woodbridge girl vying to win Little Chef Competition Kate Sutherland needs to rack up online votes to make it to the finals on The Marilyn Denis Show

ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS amartinrobbins@yrmg.com Kate Sutherland is just eight years old, but she's as comfortable in the kitchen as Nigella Lawson.

Now the Elder's Mills Public School student is hoping to chop, grate and bake her way to the finals in the Little Chef Competition run by The Marilyn Denis Show and The Little Potato Company.

But she needs your help.

Sutherland is up against nine other young competitors being judged on a combination of on online voter support, cooking skill, food presentation and personality to determine who will make it through to the final round.

Two finalists will go spatula to spatula, coached

by MasterChef Canada's Michael Bonacini, on The Marilyn Denis Show Dec.

19.

The winner scores a "culinary adventure" for four people in Rome.

"I really hope that I make the top two because then I get to be on TV and I'm going to feel really proud of myself plus I get to meet Michael Bonacini," Sutherland said.

To crack into the semifinals, Sutherland created a cooking video showing her preparing a potato dish (recipe below).

The student, who developed a passion for cooking about a year ago and honed her skills in an after-school program and through cooking at home, was wellprepared for the challenge.

"I watch cake baking and decorating videos on YouTube - like a lot of them," she said.

For the contest, she created her own scalloped potato dish, called Mini

Swirled Scalloped Potatoes, and made a 10-minute video walking viewers with poise and charisma through the recipe and step-by-step cooking instructions.

If she makes it through to the finals, Sutherland plans on adding "some more fancy stuff" to the recipe.

"I think more spices because it's kind of weird if it's just cheese and potatoes and sauces and that's it," she said. "I want to put more flavour into it."

Regardless of the outcome of the competition, her parents are delighted.

"This was great," her mom, Lisa, said. "If she makes it further that's just the icing on the cake. We're very proud."

To vote for Sutherland, go to Marilyn.ca.

Emmerson to run for York chair, Taylor out, Jones iffy

One's in, one's out and the other is mulling.

A week after the provincial government introduced legislation to make York Region's chair an elected position in the next municipal election on Oct. 22, 2018, the candidates who vied for the job the last time around are declaring their intentions.

At the moment, the chair is selected by 20 mayors and regional councillors.

But it is important to turn the decision over to voters, Newmarket-Aurora MPP Chris Ballard said.

"It is a fundamental, democratic right that the most powerful political position, an individual who oversees a budget of $2 billion and debt that's close to $3 billion, is directly elected and accountable to the people of York Region," he said.

Current chair Wayne Emmerson will run for the job, with some observers saying candidates' campaigns could run in excess of $500,000.

"It is my intention to run for regional chair in the next municipal election if the legislation passes," he said.

Newmarket Councillor John Taylor, who lost to Emmerson in 2014 and has advocated for an elected chair, said he won't seek the job.

"I have decided to focus my energy, passion and effort primarily on the town of Newmarket," he said, adding he hasn't given much thought to his next campaign.

"There are a number of exciting opportunities and projects in the near future in Newmarket and I want to make sure that the town I grew up in continues to be one best places to live in all of Canada."

Markham Councillor Jim Jones, who pulled out of the 2014 race, said it is too early to determine if he will run.

The provincial legislation would allow voters in York, Niagara and Peel to elect their chairs.

Chairs in Durham, Halton and Waterloo are already elected.

The legislation is expected to pass easily at Queen's Park. , said Ballard.

Tips to prepare for winter storm Winter is here and with it comes an increased risk of a blizzard or ice storm. The following is a list of five major things you can do to prepare yourself and your family for winter storms. ● ’Winterize’ your vehicle. Make sure to change to winter tires, check your antifreeze, keep extra windshield washer fluid and always keep an ice scraper or snow brush handy. It’s always a good idea to check if your vehicle’s heating is fully working, you don’t want to be caught in subzero temperatures with a broken heating system. ● Own a good shovel or snowblower. It goes without saying that having a durable shovel or snowblower is absolutely critical to surviving a Canadian winter.

Remember to stop shoveling if you feel any pain or risk to your health.

● Salt the ice. It’s a good idea to keep a bag of salt to remove ice. Sprinkle the salt on top of the ice and let chemistry do the work for you. Make sure to keep salt away from your vehicle however, as it can cause rust. ● Maintain your home heating. Check your home heating system to make sure it’s fully functional for the winter season. Properly seal your ducts and windows so no heat escapes the home. Clean your furnace and change your filter for optimal heating. ● Avoid frostbite. Frostbite is damage to the skin and tissues due to freezing and most often occurs at our nose, fingers and toes. You can prevent frostbite by limiting your time outdoors in cold, wet or windy weather, and dressing in several layers of warm clothing including gloves, a hat and warm socks.

Crown appeals acquittal of cop who hit, killed pedestrian

The Crown in the case of Det. Const. Remo Romano - the York Regional Police officer who was found not guilty in a dangerous driving causing death trial - is set to appeal his acquittal.

It was in late September that Romano, of Woodbridge, was cleared of the charges relat-

ing to the 2014 winter night he was working undercover, while speeding down a 60 km/h road at 115 km/h.

His F-150 would eventually strike and kill Carla Abogado, 18, of Toronto, who was jaywalking across St. Clair Avenue East, with earbuds in her ears.

The Crown objected to Justice Brian O'Marra's decision to exclude jurors from finding Romano guilty of dangerous driving should they find his actions did not reach the threshold of dangerous driving causing death.

The trial leading to the offi-

cer's acquittal came on the heels of his first trial, which began in May and ended in a hung jury.

During both trials, the Crown argued that because Romano had no idea who was driving the suspect vehicle and because no one was in imminent danger, his

speed was unjustified.

However, Romano, 44, a father of five, took the stand during both trials, explaining to the court he was in complete control of the vehicle, his hands at "10 and two" and his eyes focused on the road.

Roy Foss asks all customers to read the fine print. *Vehicles may not be exactly as illustrated. Offers subject to change without notice. 20% of MSRP cash credit discounts are available only on select Vehicle Lines and specific New 2016 and 2017 in-stock vehicles as identified by a list from General Motors. Individual dealers are not able to substitute or change the vehicles on their list. The discount is for cash purchase only, it is not combinable with any other program, rebate or discount. Discount calculation is done by GM. MSRP minus Freight x .20 = cash discount. Sale prices shown are MSRP including Freight and Air Excise Tax less calculated cash discount. Customers who do not choose a vehicle on the 20% of MSRP discount list may take advantage of all regular incentives and discounts that they qualify for (including 0% finance up to 84 months or 0% lease up to 48 months on select new model lines). OAC. See royfosswoodbridge.com/20percent for the complete list of available vehicles in this promotion. See dealer for complete program details.
