Conservative candidate Kon-stantin Toubis will be absent when the King-Vaughan all-candidates meeting takes place this coming Tuesday at Villanova College.
Debate organizers Concerned Citizens of King Township (CCKT) had initially announced they would have all four major party candidates on the panel.
But Toubis now won’t be among them.
The candidate and his cam-
paign manager, Bob Yaciuk, con-firmed Toubis won’t be in atten-dance, in an interview Wednes-day morning.
Yaciuk, who schedules all the candidate’s appearances, said he
Conservative candidate won’t attend King-Vaughan all-candidates’ meeting
A King Township man, along with three of his grandchildren, are dead and another King man faces multiple charges in relation to a hor-rific car accident in Vaughan Sunday afternoon.
A 65-year-old man died at the scene of the collision, which hap-pened Sunday at 4:10 p.m. at Kirby Road and Kipling Avenue.
A nine-year-old boy died later Sunday in hospital. His two younger siblings died shortly after midnight Monday. Two women in the same vehicle were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Marco Muzzo, 29, of King Town-ship, is facing numerous charges including four counts of impaired driving causing death.
Police are asking for any witness-es to come forward by contacting the major collision investigation unit at 1-866-876-5423 ext. 7704 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS

FATAL CRASH
Jennifer Neville-Lake posted a picture of her three youngsters and her hus-band on her Facebook page this past April with the cap-tion ‘Four reasons to get up in the morning’.
Monday she was strug-gling with the “surreal” news her children – Daniel, 9, Har-rison, 5, and Millie, 2, and her dad, Gary Neville – were killed by an accused drunk driver in a crash in Vaughan on the weekend.
“I can’t believe they’re
never coming back,” she told the media outside her Brampton home.
Also injured in the crash were Neriza Neville and Josephina Frias, the chil-dren’s grandmother and great-grandmother, respec-
tively.Husband Edward said
the couple are trying to cope by remembering “all the happy thoughts” of the kids playing in the backyard, walks in the park, a family trip to the zoo, and all the activities they enjoyed.
“You just have to cope with it somehow,” he told reporters. “It’s hard to watch two families destroyed over something stupid.”
–Pam Douglas, Metroland Media Group
The tragic car crash that killed three children and their grandfather in Vaughan Sunday has led to a massive outpouring of online support in the community.
Just three days after a GoFundMe account was set up to support the Neville-Lake family in the wake of the death of Daniel 9, Har-rison, 5, and Milagros (Mil-
lie) Neville-Lake, 2, and their grandfather, Gary Neville, 65, more than 4,000 donors had contributed nearly $200,000 and counting.
The original goal of the account was $5,000.
Not only are people send-ing in cash, but they are telling the family, including mother Jennifer Neville-Lake and father Edward Lake, how sorry they are for their loss.
Marco Muzzo, the grandson of the late billionaire developer of the same name, appeared in court Monday, one day after he was charged with impaired driving in the deaths of three small children and their grand-father.
He appeared at Newmar-ket courthouse where media reported he looked “crestfallen and exhausted”, adding his mother and fiancée attended and were emotional when he first appeared.
The 29-year-old King resi-dent faces 18 charges, includ-ing four counts of impaired driving causing death, in the horrific crash that occurred at Kirby Road and Kipling Avenue in Vaughan on Sunday.
Muzzo’s bail hearing is Friday and according to the Toronto Star, his bail will be contested by the Crown.
Marco Muzzo Sr. was list-ed as 52nd on the wealthiest Canadians list, with an estate worth $1.7 billion. He was one of the big three GTA subur-ban developers, running Marel Contractors in Vaughan and Pemberton Group in Toronto, employing 3,500 people in the construction industry.
Muzzo Sr. died at 73 in 2005 and his son, Marc, succeed-ed him as head of the firm. Muzzo Jr.’s father, Robert, died in 2004.

Family reeling from ‘surreal’ news
Reports suggest accused on his way home from stag It appears Marco Muzzo,
the man charged with impaired driving in the deaths of three small children and their grandfather, was on his way back from his stag party and was scheduled to get married to his fiancee in a matter of weeks.
On social media, people
are alleging the 29-year-old King resident and grandson of the late billionaire devel-oper of the same name, had spent the weekend in Vegas and used a private jet to return home.
The news comes as the Muzzo family, via Marco’s mother, Dawn, released a
statement sending out con-dolences to the victims and asking for privacy from the media.
“We are all greatly sad-dened by yesterday’s (Sun-day’s) tragedy and express our deepest sympathy and con-dolences to the Neville, Lake and Frias families. We would
ask for the co-operation of the media in respecting the privacy of our family during this very difficult time.”

When Amanda Cor-nacchia organized a can-dle-light vigil for the four crash victims at St. Padre Pio Thursday night, she expected plenty of mem-bers from her mother’s group to show up and grieve.
But after the event went viral over social media, as the story of the tragedy spread across the province and coun-try, she is now expecting
hundreds or even thou-sands.
“There was so much grief, anger and sadness,” she said. “So we decided to put together a vigil to try and find some peace.”
Anyone is welcome to the event that will run about 45 minutes, from 7:30 p.m., in the Klein-burg church’s garden.
The address is 5500 Major Mackenzie Dr.

never promised Toubis would be at the meeting, citing a prior conflict, the annual Conservative Riding President’s dinner – a fund-raising event – that same evening.
He said he spoke “six or seven weeks ago” with Gill Watt of CCKT and said, “there’s a lot of people who are coming to support Kon-stantin and I’m going to side on the side of the din-ner (as opposed to the all-candidates meeting).”
Yaciuk said Watt told him, “It’s (the meeting) going to go on with or with-out Mr. Toubis.”
Yaciuk is adamant that, “at no time ever, emphati-cally, written in stone, did I ever confirm that Mr. Toubis would attend that event. I have a conscious decision of saying that because, one
thing about Mr. Toubis and myself, our word is gold and it is the rule.”
But Greg Locke, CCKT chairperson, disputes this.
Locke, who is working on Liberal candidate Deb Schulte’s campaign, but said he is not taking an active role in the all-candidates meeting – the moderator is King Township Council-lor Cleve Mortelliti – claims Yaciuk did confirm Toubis would attend the meeting.
Locke claims he asked Yaciuk twice during a tele-phone call if Toubis would attend the all-candidates meeting and received a ver-bal commitment that he would attend.
“I asked him to repeat if he would be coming to the debate, and he (Yaciuk) did.”
Locke, who believed he had a firm commitment from the Toubis camp as
of early August, said he received an email about the president’s dinner and Toubis not coming to the debate on Sept. 24 but is still hopeful the Conserva-tive candidate will change his mind and show up.
“We want to give him (Toubis) every opportunity to come to the meeting,” said Locke.
Confirmed for the meet-ing are: Liberal Deb Schulte, NDP candidate Natalie Rizzo and Green Party can-didate Ann Raney.
The all-candidates meet-ing begins at 7 p.m. Villano-va College is at 2480 15th Sideroad, King City.
The federal election is on Monday, Oct. 19.

Copies can be made of your photos and docu-ments and they can be returned to you.

The old Schomberg Arena has become a new Township parks depot.
That was the call made at King Township council on Monday evening with little fanfare.
“It was very unfortunate our first choice for this (the arena) did not come to pass – given that we really need to decide how to proceed ahead,” said Councillor Deb-bie Schaefer.
That first choice was a proposal by Transitional Care Communities Corporation (TCCC) to lease the arena, a proposal first made in the fall of 2013 but which was aban-doned just this past June.
After the TCCC idea was
off the table, staff and council had to come up with another use for the arena and the decision was to move parks equipment from the over-burdened Township works yard on the Eighth Conces-sion to the arena.
In an interview on Tues-day, Mayor Steve Pellegrini took pains to make clear the arena will be a parks depot, not a works yard so nearby arena residents shouldn’t fear what’s to come.
“It’s going to be a place to store lawnmowers and parks stuff, not aggregate and trac-tors like we have at the works yard. There seems to be some confusion over what will be going to the arena. It will only be parks equipment. And the money for it comes from development charges. It is
not tax-supported dollars. It will take pressure off the works depot which is run-ning out of space,” he said.
There will be a $99,000 expenditure required to fund renovation work in the arena to prepare it for use as a depot. There is also consid-eration being given to refur-bish the tennis courts at the site should council agree to move ahead with the proj-ect.
In addition, council has also authorized a reserve fund transfer from the park-land reserve of $1,077,588.46 to offset outstanding debt associated with the Trisan Centre funding formula.
The mayor made it clear such a transfer was not “tax-supported funds but devel-opment charges funding.”

Got a burning question for your candidates?
You can’t convince me voters are apathetic in this federal election.
All-candidate debates are springing up in many York ridings, and many have attracted strong attendance from interested voters.
Even more telling, are the national and international con-cerns and sophisticated questions voters want to ask their candidates.
The media, in general, and poll-sters often bemoan the bread and butter concerns of voters, who can be fooled by cutesy photo ops of candidates kissing babies or pon-tificating in front of party logos.
But to my mind, voters in York Region are smarter than that.
A few weeks ago, I asked for questions from voters for candi-dates in the new Aurora-Oak Ridg-es-Richmond Hill riding and the redrawn Richmond Hill riding.
“Email me your questions,” I invited in print and online.
The result was an avalanche of emails with literally more than 100 questions ... and as I write, they continue to pour in for an all-can-didate event set for this week.
Jaded party operatives or politi-cal pollsters might be surprised by the topics and thoughtful questions I’ve seen and heard so far.
Sure, many focused on the economy, jobs, transit and infra-structure needs.
But in the lineup at the micro-phone, candidates in Aurora last week asked about genetically mod-ified foods and if foods should be labelled, and if the Conservative candidate felt money was well spent on the Economic Action plan.
Others patiently waited their turn in line to ask abut the fate of the Senate, if the candidates favoured proportional voting or pointedly asking if Canada should be selling arms to Saudi Arabia, while fighting ISIS at the same time.
As far as I’m concerned, those are educated questions that aren’t easy to answer — proving voters really are paying attention to the big picture, not just planning to vote on personalities or party pitches.
To date, our newsrooms are pro-
moting an ever growing number of candidate events.
One took place yesterday and another is set for Oct. 8 in the Thornhill riding, the latter orga-nized by the Vaughan Chamber of Commerce.
A Markham-Stouffville riding event will be hosted Oct. 5 by the Whitchurch-Stouffville Chamber of Commerce and York Region Media.
The next night, Concerned Citi-zens of King Township are organiz-ing an event for the King-Vaughan riding.
I can’t predict exactly what questions will be asked by voters in these different ridings, but I’m betting many will focus on similar issues as those raised by voters in the two Richmond Hill ridings.
Questions touched on omnibus bills in the House of Commons, funding for the CBC, healthcare transfers to provincial coffers, and our First Nation challenges.
Here are a couple more in vot-ers’ own words:
“The majority of your constitu-ents is against a particular bill, but your party is in favour of it — how do you vote?”
“Canada is negotiating a multi-national deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership. How will it ben-efit our country? This community? How will it do harm?”
“What do you believe the national government should do about refugee processing? Is Can-ada moving fast enough to address the current refugee crisis in Syria?”
Got a burning question? Bring it to an all-candidate event
in your riding.

Larger vehicles should pay moreRe: Why hit us where our plate stickers
are?, editorial, Sept. 10: bit.ly/1KHM06mIncreasing the cost of a plate renewal is
a good idea if applied correctly (clearly tar-geted) and for the right reasons.
Our roads should be viewed as real estate assets which wear out, need to be periodi-cally replaced and cost money to purchase and occupy. The problem with the current approach is that it does not recognize that different users use different amounts of these assets and have differing levels of impact.
Larger vehicle owners occupy larger amounts of space and should be charged more for their stickers. They generally weigh more and, therefore, do more damage to the asset. They use more fuel and generate more greenhouse gases. The charges should be significant: a compact should pay 1/5th of what a large SUV pays.
The incentive to move to smaller, lighter vehicles would spur innovative research into making those vehicles and would make for more efficient use of our roads. And using a smaller, lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicle will help you avoid higher fees. Isn’t a choice what everybody says they want?

Reasons Not To Have A Will
Legal Matters Wills ANdEsTATEs
Estate planning,which includes
the preparation of aWill and Powers ofAttorney for Propertyand for Personal Care,is a subject that manyof us do not want tothink about. So whywaste your time withit? Here are severalgood reasonswhy youshould NOT have aWill:Youwill live forever•– If you are notgoing to die, youwill never need aWill; so whyworryabout having oneprepared!Your family does•not need to beprovided for inan organized andthought outmanner– You’re goneanyway… so, whyworry about settingout yourwishes andproviding directionsfor the efficientand reasonabledistribution of
your assets? Letthose that are leftbehindworry aboutand, better yet, fightover your estate.You trust that the•government and thelegislation enactedby the government,will take care ofeverything for you,if you do pass on –There is legislationin place that willprovide for howyour assets willbe distributed, ifyou die withouthaving a validWill(intestacy). There isno need to create aWill and specify themanner in whichyou want yourassets distributed,even though it mayresult in assetsbeing distributed toindividuals that youdo notwant sharingin your estate orallocate assets toindividuals whowill suffer somedisadvantage froman inheritance (suchas a disabled personreceiving paymentsfrom the OntarioDisability SupportProgram).You love taxes and•fees and want topass these on toyour family –
Planning your estateproperly and havinga Will prepared,will most oftenresult in the efficientdistribution of yourassets, which cansave your estatetaxes and fees.Estate planningcan simplify theadministrat ionof your estate bydesignating estatetrustees, providingmore certainty as tothe distribution ofassets, which willgenerally lead tolower legal fees.But you’re gone…and you love to paymore taxes and fees.So, why would youcare about reducingthese for yourfamily?

Are you planning to vote Oct. 19?
In recent federal elections about four in 10 eligible voters have chosen not to head to the polls but with a tough, tight three-way race among the main political parties this time out, we may have a better voter turnout than we had in 2011, when 61.1 per cent voted. That was an improvement on the 58.8 per cent who cast a ballot in 2008.
Maybe we’ll have two-thirds of the elector-ate participate this time around. Champions of democracy can only hope. The last time that hap-pened was 1997 when exactly 67 per cent voted.
With the longest elec-tion period in well over a century, it’s almost impossible to be unaware of the Oct. 19 voting date, so that should help boost turnout. You really would have to be under that proverbial rock or in outer space to not know about this election.
ID requirementsIf you do vote, and I
sincerely hope you do, you should know changes in the Fair Elections Act require you to present
ID at the polling station when you get there.
You must present EITHER:
A) your driver’s licence; OR your provin-cial or territorial ID card; OR any other government card with your photo, name and current address on it.
OR if not A) TWO of the following, one of which must have your current address on it:
your health card, Canadian passport, birth certificate, certificate of Canadian citizenship, citizenship card, social insurance number card, Indian status card, band membership card, Metis card, Canadian Forces identity card, old age security card, hospital card, medical clinic card, firearms licence, student identity card, credit card, debit card, employee card, library card, public transportation card, CNIB card, bank statement,
label on a prescription container, blood donor card, parolee card, liquor identity card, licence or card issued for fishing, trapping or hunting, letter of confirmation of resi-dence, utility bill, or bank, credit union or credit card statements.
There are a number of other pieces of ID that are acceptable but most peo-ple should have at least two of the above pieces of ID they can show at a polling booth.
If the only ID you own does not happen to have your current address on it, you can take an oath at the polling booth and have someone who knows you attest to your address. The person must show proof of identity.
It’s important to note that the voter information card, unlike past elec-tions, is NOT a piece of ID and won’t be accepted.
Make sure you come prepared when you head off to the polling booth and make sure you vote and make your voice heard on Oct. 19.
It’s a right of citizen-ship you should not take lightly.

CHURCH
Messy Church happens the second Tuesday of the month, Oct. 13, from 5 to 7 p.m. We have begun the “I am” series. Last month, it was “I am the true vine” and we had messy activities related to vines, like step-ping on sponges in a baby bath. The children said that it did feel like squish-ing grapes. The sponges had washable paint on them, so they were to walk along a piece of wallpaper that had a vine drawn on it. Their toe prints were to look like grapes. Even babies got their feet into the paint and made a print on the wallpaper. It was fun and helped to rein-force the theme.
This month the theme is “I am the light of the world”. All the activities from 5 to 6 p.m. will be related to light. Then at 6 we have story time. At 6:15 we eat. There is always a fruit and veggie tray and cookies to deco-rate. We also have some pro-tein to complete our meal. Afterwards we either just socialize or do more activi-
ties until 7 p.m. This is an intergenerational activity with grandparents, parents and children all enjoying the activities together. No prior knowledge is required and parents, grandparents, chil-dren come when they can. Children must be accompa-nied by a responsible adult. There is no charge for this, as Nobleton and Schomberg United Churches provide the funding as an outreach activity.
We will be having a Joint Anniversary Service with Schomberg United on Sun-day, Oct. 25, at 11:15 a.m. in Nobleton. One of our special guests will be Rev. Gail Clark-son who remembers her father, the late Keith Bagu-ley, and her brother Warren creating our current wooden cross on behalf of the Youth
Group. On Saturday, Oct. 31, we
will be having our Craft and Bake Sale. There will be a bar-becue (weather permitting) and a lunch room (autumn or broccoli soup this year with fresh buns, cheese, veg-gie sticks, tea and cookies). There will be handicrafts (quilts of all sizes, knitted goods, slippers, placemats), gourmet (pickles, soups, jams, frozen beef pies, frozen chicken pies), baking (des-sert pies, squares, cookies, loaves) and miscellaneous. New items are accepted and we are looking for donations of unique hand-crafted items. For more info, contact Fran Bones at 905-859-3819.
For more info about our church, visit nobletonunit-edchurch.com or call our church at 905-859-3976. The church office is nor-mally open on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, but messages are picked up reg-ularly. Minister Brian Nich-olson or secretary Sharon Birks will respond to your message.

The hikers who walked por-tions of the Carrying Place Trail Sept. 10 to 12 really enjoyed their three-day journey.
They started with a First Nations’ ceremony with tribal elders burning sage grasses and blessing the journey, watched canoeists near Oril-lia and visited the city’s monu-ment to Champlain and his explorations.
After some time on trails near Newmarket and a stop in Aurora (not historically part of the trail) they entered King Township, hiked along the 16th Sideroad and unveiled an historical plaque near the cor-ner of the 16th Sideroad and Weston Road. There they were met by a Chief from the Mis-sissauga of the New Credit First Nation, Mayor Steve Pellegrini, Councillor Debbie Schaefer, TRCA staff and about 20 King residents. This intersection is considered to be very close to a portion of the original trail. Dried cranberries as well as apples and freshly baked corn-bread from King were pre-sented and the thirsty hikers enjoyed fresh local apple cider.
Hogan’s Inn staff in King City served them a great meal
that evening. Sunday they drove to the McMichael Gallery and Kleinburg, followed urban trails southward and ended up in Étienne Brule Park in down-town Toronto.
Two of the hikers came all the way from the village of Champigny sur Marne near Paris, France, where Brule was born. It had only a few hun-dred inhabitants in 1615, but now has more than 75,000.
Philippe Maury noted, “Almost no notice is ever taken in France or our city to Brule’s important accomplishments in Canada.”
Having explored parts of Canada over the last 30 years, Maury was very impressed with the countryside of King.
Hiker Glenn Turner also
appreciated the welcome received in King.
“People were very well-organized and welcoming, respectful of the First Nations connections and the historical significance of Brule’s explora-tions and generous with the most appropriate mementos,” he said, adding “the event is living proof of the growing interest in people of all ages in local history… particularly of First Nations’ and French colo-nial history. The people of King are to be congratulated for all of their efforts to preserve and celebrate knowledge of their history. In particular, the Historical Society and TRCA, specifically the Humber Water-shed Alliance, did an excellent job posting the Carrying Place signs several years ago and installing bronze plaques along the route.”
Many hikers agreed that the small ceremony and walk through the woods and hills in King were the very best parts.
By AviA EEkSpecial to the Connection
I have had so many con-versations with folks about the produce that is grown in the Holland Marsh, about how our organic-based soil is a tremen-dous growing medium for the food we grow here.
Many of the people I have spoken to actually are familiar with this unique growing area, since Hwy. 400 was built right in the middle of it. Cottagers, commuters and residents pass through our “salad bowl” every day. But, have you ever won-dered how this all came to be?
On Sept. 15, King Town-ship and Bradford West Gwil-limbury celebrated the 90th anniversary of the “scheme of draining the Marsh” with a flag-raising in the Town of Brad-ford West Gwillimbury. Why is this event so important? If the drainage of “a mere ditch swarming with bullfrogs and water snakes” had not been the vision and determina-tion of some forward-thinking individuals (even as far back as 1852), we wouldn’t be able to claim this multi-million dol-lar Specialty Crop Area as one of the unique gems in King
Township (the Holland Marsh is shared by King and Bradford-West Gwillimbury).
Based on “A Study of Hol-land Marsh its Reclamation and Development”, dated August 1949, marshreed was the first crop harvested. Later, some folks thought partial draining could take place which would enable the harvesting of the peat here to be sold for fuel -- this idea was abandoned due to opposition from towns that bordered Lake Simcoe.
In 1912 a syndicate was formed by Professor W. H. Day, including a Mr. D. Paul Mon-roe (who would later become an MPP for South Wellington), and Judge R. L. McKinnon, Guelph. A few thousand acres was purchased by these men and the argument was made that under The Municipal Drainage Act this swamp could be developed for agricultural purposes. Their “scheme” was not to be realized at that time as a result of the First World War, and the depression that followed. This vision was not forgotten about, and the plan was looked at again in 1924.
I won’t get into all of the legal aspects of the draining
(reclamation) of the Holland Marsh, but I will say that I look back at the irony of the situa-tion. You see, King Township was never in favour of this scheme and actually appealed against it to the Drainage Ref-eree. In the end, the Drain-age Referee of Ontario decided that this drainage scheme was sound under, “The Municipal Drainage Act of 1910,” and had no choice but to comply, and assess the landowners.
It should be noted that while the draining of the Hol-land Marsh actually DID start in 1925, it was not completed until 1930.
This is a condensed version of the events that led to the Reclamation and Develop-ment of the Holland Marsh, and it should be noted, that with today’s legislation, drain-ing a wetland of this magni-tude would never be allowed under current legislation.
Avia Eek is a councillor with the Township of King representing the Hol-land Marsh area.

Finally, an olive branch.Just hours after the
Elementary Teachers’ Fed-eration of Ontario filed a complaint with the Labour Relations Board, the pro-vincial government has offered to resume contract negotiations.
“We learned at 5 p.m. (Tuesday) that (Education) Minister (Liz) Sandals has called upon ETFO to return to the bargaining table,” union president Sam Ham-mond said in a statement.
“ETFO has been ready to return to the table for two weeks to bargain a fair and reasonable collec-tive agreement specific to ETFO members. We accept this invitation and we look to the minister to confirm where and when negotia-tions will resume.”
The government’s offer came just four hours after the union filed an unfair labour practice complaint with the labour board.
The union accused the government and the Ontar-io Public School Boards’ Association of failing to bargain in good faith by refusing to return to the bargaining table.
After seven days of bar-gaining, the government and the school boards’ association abruptly cut off negotiations Sept. 11.
“The obstinacy of this government and OPSBA to try and impose a deal on ETFO members while refus-ing to continue negotiations has pushed us to take this action,” Hammond said of the union decision to go to the labour board.
“We have consistent-ly said that ETFO would return to the table at any time to negotiate a fair and reasonable collective agreement that is specific
for ETFO members. We had hoped that the government and OPSBA would do the same and negotiate in good faith.”
However, Sandals and Premier Kathleen Wynne have challenged the union to explain to the public why it won’t accept a deal simi-lar to those already agreed to by public high school and Catholic secondary and elementary teachers.
Elementary teachers escalated their work-to-rule campaign on Sept. 21 and announced they will launch one-day rotating strikes beginning in Octo-ber unless there is progress in bargaining,
As part of phase two of the work-to-rule campaign, they won’t hold parent-teacher interviews unless they have particular con-cerns with a student.
They also won’t write comments on report cards, fill in for absent teachers, respond to administrative emails, update websites and newsletters or attend meetings or professional development activities.
Teachers are also hold-ing “Wynne Wednesdays,” which includes declining to participate in extra-curric-ular activities.
The union, which repre-sents 70,000 teachers, has been without a contract for a year.
Meanwhile, the Canadi-an Union of Public Employ-ees representing Ontario’s 55,000 education workers, including 5,000 in York Region, was planning to file a complaint with the labour board Wednesday, accord-ing to local union president Elena Di Nardo.
CUPE is asking the labour board to instruct school boards to respect the union’s actions under the legal work-to-rule,
she said.“They are being extreme-
ly rude to CUPE members. They are telling them, ‘If you don’t do your super-vision (duties at schools), you’re not going to get paid. If you’re not doing your supervision, are you telling me you’re putting in a work refusal?’, which is totally not the case. We’re in a legal strike position,” said Di Nardo, president of CUPE Local 2331.
“I was on the phone almost all day long with our board asking them to inform these administrators to adhere to our work-to-rule and that my members are just following direction from the union and they’re in a legal strike position, so, legally, they can’t be repri-manded, intimidated and harassed for following the direction of the union.”
The union, which rep-resents educational assis-tants, custodians, secre-taries, library technicians, early childhood educators, student support workers and others, escalated its work-to-rule campaign this week.
For example, educa-tional assistants are not to participate in an fundrais-ing activities such as pizza or book orders, early child-hood educators are not to do any photocopying or paperwork of any kind, secretarial staff are not to create or print newsletters and library technicians are not to prepare or supervise book fairs outside of school hours or do paperwork of any kind.
Negotiations between CUPE and the government are expected to resume Thursday and Friday, Di Nardo said.
Education workers have been without a contract for more than a year.

SENIORS + DEMENTIA a metroland media inVeStiGatiVe SerieS
amilton resident Phyl-lis Fehr, 57, is a member of the Ontario Demen-tia Advisory Group, a group of people living
with dementia that was formed last fall with the purpose of influencing policies, practices and people in dementia management.
A former ICU nurse who was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s three years ago, Fehr offers a unique perspective on the challenges facing Ontario’s health-care system in providing quality care for the increasing number of people diagnosed with dementia.
Having experienced the health-care system from both sides of the coin as a health-care professional and as a patient, she said she has some strong ideas about what the province needs to do to successful-ly tackle this significant challenge.
Fehr’s journey with dementia started in 2010 when she
began noticing small changes in herself, notably forgetfulness.
She discussed her concerns with her doctor, but it wasn’t until two years later she received a work-ing diagnosis of mixed dementia in the form of early onset Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy Body Dementia, a less prevalent form of dementia that occurs when abnormal depos-its of a protein called alpha-synu-clein accumulate inside the brain’s nerve cells.
In the meantime, Fehr was having trouble multi-tasking and was drawing blanks on details and tasks that were once second nature. Doubting her abilities and concerned about providing the best care she could to her patients, she took a leave from her nursing career.
“It was affecting my work and I needed to figure this out,” said Fehr, who, despite being under the
care of a neurologist and a ger-ontologist, had started
to feel frustrated by the lack of an
action plan.“ F r o m
having my first symp-
toms to diagnosis it was basical-ly two years in limbo. I felt quite stressed.”
With a diagnosis, she said she was eager to move forward on a course of treatment, but again was stuck in a waiting game.
“I’m a firm believer in treating something sooner than waiting.”
Fehr decided to take the matter into her own hands and started seeing renowned neurologist Dr. Sandra Black in early 2013.
“I’m very grateful for the inter-vention and understanding of Dr. Sandra Black. Once I started with her, she helped me understand what was going on, get on track and sort out what was happening.”
Under Black’s care, Fehr said she’s received the “patient-centred and patient-involved care” all patients with dementia need.
“We think of each of our patients and their families as hav-ing a unique and important story to tell,” explained Black.
“We try to partner with our fam-ilies and share their load to ensure they know they are not alone in their difficult journey, as most dementias still lack definitive treat-ments.”
“It can’t just be clinical,” agreed Fehr, who, as a health-care pro-
fessional, said she appreciates the challenges doctors face to provide the best care they can while dealing with extremely limited resources.
“I realize there’s only so much time and money, and not enough staff and specialists. All of that needs to be improved,” she said, adding an earlier diagnosis would have changed the course of her life.

Hamilton resident and former ICU nurse Phyllis Fehr has been diag-nosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. She uses an iPad to keep track of daily tasks and appointments.
Patient-centred care and earlier diagnosis a must for dementia strategy, says former
nurse and neurologist limbo’
In Ontario, a lot of time, attention and money is being placed on getting an early handle on dementia, understanding how to better recognize its early signs and mitigate its symptoms.
Dr. Doug Munoz, a neuroscientist at Queen’s Uni-versity, has focused his career on understanding how the brain controls eye movement and how brain damage or abnormalities, including those caused by dementia, can affect it.
“What we have is a toolbox for how the brain works,” he said.
Munoz is exploring the connection between eye movement and dementia. To do so, he’ll be measuring where the eyes go to study memory loss using video-based eye tracking.
“This study will be helpful in early detection. It will help us detect dementia earlier than we can now,” said
Munoz, who in his 20-plus year career has studied the correlation between eye movement and brain func-tion for people of all ages.

oanne Woodward Fraser, a spokesperson for the Minis-try of Health and Long-Term Care, said the government is preparing to care for an
influx of Ontarians with dementia.“Initial engagement with the
sector has begun,” she said via email. “Ontario is gathering input from individuals with the disease, their families and caregivers, as well as health-care providers involved in treatment and support.”
Still in the early stages – and too early to speak to specifics as the province wants to “get it right” – Woodward Fraser said the first step will be to develop a “co-ordi-nated, collaborative approach with input from patients and their care partners, all health-care providers, as well as organizations involved in supporting individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia.”
Further, the provincial govern-ment has mandated Halton MPP Indira Naidoo-Harris to champion the development of a provincial dementia strategy, she said.
Fehr agrees a holistic and streamlined approach must be taken to treating patients with dementia to avoid unnecessary and often detrimental delays and frustrations.
“Currently, the process takes so long. It makes me worry about everybody else,” said Fehr, who is also a volunteer board member for the Dementia Network of the Ham-ilton Niagara Haldimand Brant Local Health Integration Network, which seeks to find ways to work together with the government to understand gaps in the system and provide better care for those with dementia.
“There has to be a way to streamline all the services under one umbrella to avoid re-inventing the wheel every time. We need to be looking more at the big pic-ture.”
Eager to serve as a voice for people living with dementia, Fehr is a volunteer spokesperson for the Hamilton Alzheimer Society.
She regularly speaks about her experiences offering her unique, two-sided perspective, especially with newly diagnosed individuals and their families. One of her main messages is that “life isn’t over, but that it will change.”
“I really enjoy sharing my mes-sage and hopefully I’m making a positive impact,” she said.
Part three, to be published next week, tackles the stigma associated with dementia, which often makes living with the disease that much more challenging. Read about personal struggles, but also the positive changes happening here and globally that are helping people with dementia enjoy a higher quality of life.
PART TWOYORKREGION.COM/DEMENTIA
EDUCATION
VOICES
1 Keep to a simple daily and weekly routine. Get to know particular good times of the day and concentrate on getting things done during optimal hours.
2 Communication is key. Talk to family, friends and professionals about how they can help and accept offers of support.
3 Eat regularly. Make sure healthy snacks are on hand in case cooking is not an option. Be sure to get enough fl uids.
4 Keep active. A walk every day will help with relaxation. Keep up with hobbies and visit friends. Stay connected to the community by joining local support groups and organizations.
5 Use visual aids such as to-do lists, a calendar or a reminder board to organize. Make a checklist of important things to do before going to bed.
6 Keep essential items such as glasses, keys and money in one place so that they can be easily found.
7 Write down memorable experiences and information in a journal or diary.
8 Keep a visitor’s book with names, contact details and short descriptions. Add photos next to important phone numbers and keep them by the phone.
9 Label cupboards, drawers and doors making use of colour and contrast.
r. Petal Abdool, a staff psychiatrist at the Centre for Mental Health and Addiction (CAMH) Geriatric
Division, is confident she made the right career choice.
“This is an area I felt I could make a difference. It’s underserved and there’s no shortage of jobs,” said Abdool, who credits her six-month residency at CAMH for helping her choose a career in geri-atric medicine.
Hired by CAMH shortly after completing her placement, Abdool serves as the head of outpatient geriatric mental health services.
She’s also a clinical lecturer and the undergraduate education co-ordinator, Geriatric Division Department of Psychiatry Univer-sity of Toronto.
In this role, she’s charged with impressing upon medical students the need for qualified health-care professionals to work with the aging population, as well as the benefits that come with it.
“Working with the elderly has been a great experience and very rewarding. It’s nice to look after other people’s parents,” said Abdool.
The Ontario Medical Associa-tion (OMA) is also doing its part to encourage doctors to consider working with the elderly, said its president Dr. Mike Toth.
“With an aging population, we know it is important to have enough physicians to care for seniors, including those with com-plex conditions such as dementia,” he said.
The Registered Nurses Asso-
ciation of Ontario (RNAO) is also helping its members provide bet-ter care for the elderly.
Michelle Acorn, the associa-tion’s co-chair, brings more than a decade of experience to the table working as a nurse practitioner caring for elderly patients.
With a special interest in geri-atric care, Acorn – who serves as the lead nurse practitioner at Lak-eridge Health in Durham Region – spends a fair amount of her time educating nursing professionals about caring for the elderly, mak-ing hospitals senior friendly and making geriatric care part of the core curriculum at post-secondary institutions.

alanced, that was the word used to describe Anthony Capasso, by the woman who was to be his future mother-in-law.
“You would never see him down, angry, upset,” Lina Masci said about Anthony. “He was just so level-headed and stable. He was big-hearted, gentle and loving.”
These were just some of the adjectives she would use about the 27-year-old, who had been dating her daughter, Amanda, for more than five years.
It was July 3, 2013, when Capas-so lost his life while riding his motorcycle on his way to his best friend’s house in Toronto.
Masci, who lives in Vaughan, said five months before he died, Capasso bought a house in Maple, got a new job and was preparing to pop the marriage question to Amanda.
“I was very proud. You could tell he was planning out life for he and Amanda, everything was looking great,” she said. “His sister lives in Woodbridge, so everyone was going to be close by.”
However, fate would conspire against the young couple, Masci said.
“When this tragedy happened… it was just like complete devasta-tion,” she added. “It’s like losing
Capasso had life planned out before accident

your best friend, your partner, your entire future.”
Masci said she read the Life Story of Michael Bucci, 27 and knew she wanted to share Capas-so’s story.
Bucci was involved in a single-

vehicle collision in Richmond Hill in August 2014. His death left his fiancé, Jessica Couto, alone.
Lucy Bucci, Michael’s mother, explained how devastated she was by the unexplained crash.
“It’s just a horrible, horrible
thing to go through,” she said.Masci said when she read that,
she knew she had to get in touch and share.
“I was so touched by that story that I just had to call in and share the story of Anthony,” she
explained.As for her daughter, Masci said
she wrote the most touching trib-ute to Anthony in her eulogy.
“I hope I made you a quarter as happy as you made me,” she wrote. “You truly are the only man I will ever love. I am blessed to have been a part of your life, not only as your girlfriend, but also your future wife. I know we were destined to be together, that is why you were brought into my life. The way you made me feel, I was the luckiest girl in the universe. All I can do now is honour you the best way I know how. You will be my one true love and hold my heart forever.”
About the pair’s relationship, Masci said the duo experienced the closest thing to a true love story she’d ever seen.
“He was her prince charming,” she added. “They are both beauti-ful souls and they had a beautiful life ahead of them.”
A memorial award was set up in Capasso’s memory at the Ted Rogers School of Business Man-agement, where he attended and graduated in 2009.
However, perhaps the greatest tribute he could ever receive came when his sister, Teresa Haljaste, named her young son after her brother.
He is also survived by his par-ents, Maddalena and Domenico Capasso, who live in Scarborough.
“Adored by children, universally respected and an inspiration to her peers, Mrs. McCluskey was a tireless volunteer, quick to defl ect the praise heaped on her.”
