The final costs of last week’s ice storm that left close to 10,000 people in Geor-gina without power will be assessed after the town continues cleanup efforts around town during the next several weeks.

Town crews were out this week, and are expected to be for the next several weeks, cleaning up numerous fallen limbs and trees that were cleared from town road-ways and right of ways during a massive effort from the town’s fire and roads and parks department crews Thursday night and Friday morning during the height of the storm.

In addition, the town will also provide a special collection day on April 4 through its contractor, GFL, to pick up yard waste across all collection zones.

Downed and arcing hydro wires, numer-ous accidents and clearing ice and debris kept police, fire, paramedic, roads and hydro crews hopping during an icy start to the Eas-ter weekend that began with school closures Thursday, followed by a blanket of ice coat-ing everything in its path Good Friday.

Roads crews were out in force plowing and sanding town roads and clearing them of fallen trees and debris, while firefighters responded to more than 60 calls, covering everything from downed hydro lines, medi-cal assists, motor vehicle collisions and one structure fire.

“At the peak of the storm response, fire crews didn’t even have the chance to return to the fire station, but went from call to call,” Georgina Fire Chief Ron Jenkins said.

“This extreme weather event also under-scores the need for everyone to be prepared for emergencies of all types and to be self-sufficient for up to 72 hours. This includes having an emergency preparedness kit con-taining items such as bottled water, non-perishable food items, flashlights and a battery-operated or wind-up radio.”

Hydro One crews were working to restore power since the lights went out about 10 p.m. Thursday night, predominantly in the Keswick area.

Fallen limbs, however, draped over hydro lines along Metro Road from Keswick into Jackson’s Point.

While most neighbourhoods were back online by early Friday afternoon, various pockets in the Willow Beach, Jackson’s Point and Duclos Point area remained without power until late evening and the next day in some areas.

The town opened up a warming centre at the Georgina Ice Palace by 11 a.m. Friday, but many in the community were already

Town still adding up cost of ice storm

following a good neighbour rule when it came to sheltering the storm.

That fact was something both Georgina’s mayor and social media sites were quick to acknowledge.

“I want to thank town residents and businesses for their resilience during the ice storm and power outage,” Mayor Margaret Quirk said, on the heels of acknowledg-ing town staff and fire crews for working around the clock in response to the extreme weather event, many of whom missed fam-ily dinners and holiday celebrations to deal with the effects of the ice storm.

“It was incredible to see neighbours help-ing neighbours and, in particular, seniors, to make sure that they were coping. It is this spirit of caring that makes Georgina such a great community,” Quirk added.

Social media sites were rife with kudos for town and hydro workers, as well as vari-ous local businesses that opened their doors during the stat holiday due to the storm — providing everything from coffee, a few extra chairs at Lakeshore Community Church’s free Good Friday dinner, to rental equipment for residents scrambling to deal with fallen trees and limbs.

Nearly 10,000 Georgina residents were left without power, some for several hours, follow-ing last week’s ice storm. It will be several weeks before cleanup efforts are complete.

Fire crews rescued a dog that had fallen through the ice between the mainland and

Snake Island around 3 p.m.The animal was exhausted and suffering

from hypothermia when crews arrived and pulled the dog from the water, Georgina Fire Chief Ron Jenkins said.

The lucky pooch was checked by a vet-erinarian and given the thumbs up for a full recovery after its ordeal.

An upcoming talent contest could be your big chance at stardom.

Made in Georgina — Emerging Musician Showcase 2016 is the Georgina Arts Centre & Gallery’s year-long original music artist development project designed to showcase, develop and promote all ages of emerging musicians in Georgina.

“This is your chance to be part of some-thing epic and one of the biggest collabo-rations in our town aimed to further the production of original music,” GACAG board member Michelle Vacca said.

Contestants in both adult and youth cat-egories must provide video submissions fea-turing original popular music by the March 31 deadline.

Top finalists will receive a prize package valued at approximately $5,000, courtesy of Connors Music, D’Addario and Rogers TV, aimed to further develop the production of local original music.

All eligible video submission entries will be reviewed and uploaded to the GACAG Facebook Event Page.

An in-person panel review April 2 at the GACAG will determine the top finalists, whose submissions will be posted online at Rogers TV YouTube Channel and the GACAG’s Facebook Event Page for public voting up until May 27.

Winners of the Public Vote Award will receive a cash prize of $1,000, private record-ing studio time and a branded Inked by Evans Front Bass Drumhead.

Performances by the finalists are planned at both the GACAG and on stage with Con-nors Music during the Music In The Streets festival in Keswick, June 25.

Get your well water tested

If you get your drinking water from a well, this is the time of year to make sure it’s safe.

Private well owners are encouraged to get their water tested every spring, summer and fall, even if it looks, tastes and smells fine.

Well water can contain harmful bacteria that causes stomach cramps, diarrhea and other health concerns.

Well water testing is free and easy to do, a York Region statement said,

You can pick up a sample bottle at several

locations across the region. Find out where by visiting york.ca/wellwater

Water samples are tested at Public Health Ontario’s Toronto lab for coliforms and E.coli. Residents can receive lab results by mail or by calling Public Health Ontario at 1-877-723-3456 or TTY 1-866-828-2238.

In addition to regularly testing well water, owners should inspect their well at least once a year to make sure it is free from dam-age and in good working condition.

How can drinking raw milk be crime?

Re: Raw milk drinkers protest outside court house, March 17: bit.ly/21DWloF

The normal farm-to-consumer rela-tionship would be considered a crime if the injunction goes through because of the current Ontario Milk Act and York Region’s Health Protection and Promotion Act, (HPPA) which is tied to it.

However, this milk is not made avail-able to the public. It’s not a public health issue.

How can it be a crime for a farmer to feed people when the people ask for the food under a private contractual agree-ment and when no one has gotten sick in 22 years?

That particular farm should be held up as a model for how to do raw milk right, not crushed under an injunction.

In January 2010, cow shares were ruled legal. In the United States, that would have been the end of the case and everyone would have peacefully gone about their business.

Unfortunately, the Ontario government appealed the ruling. In the six years since, has milk proven to be dangerous? No. Did anyone get sick? No. Did anyone die? No. Six years later, farmers and cow share members find themselves facing a pos-sible injunction. Why?

Some cow share members depend on this milk for their health.

EDITORIAL

Offer cost-effective high standardsrime may not pay, but fighting it sure does.

That’s the con-clusion one can

draw from the fact that 1,152 York Regional Police employees earned in excess of $100,000 last year, according to the 2016 instal-ment of Ontario’s annual public sector salary disclosure docu-ment — better known as the Sun-shine List. That’s up more than 28 per cent from the 898 YRP per-sonnel whose names appeared on last year’s list.

According to its 2014 annual report, released in June 2015, York Regional Police is made up of 1,529 sworn officers and 605 civilian members, so, at this point, it might save time and ink to start putting out an annual list of police employees not pulling in more than $100,000 per year.

Responding to last year’s Sun-shine List story, York Regional Police Association president Todd Sepkowski told York Region Media Group that when looking at the numbers, the public needs to take several details into con-sideration, including the amount of paid duty, overtime, court time and sick bank payout.

“A lot of firemen have second jobs that aren’t reported on the Sunshine List and paid duty is like a second job to us — differ-ence is it’s counted on our sala-ries,” he said.

Paid duty, which pays about $55 an hour, is paid entirely by private funds, not by taxpayers, he added.

“There’s no burden to the community on that,” he said, noting that the Sunshine List should be restructured so that those numbers are not included. “Another detail that doesn’t get mentioned is a lot of these num-bers are inflated by a one-time sick bank payout that was given out for the final time. It’s not the salary, it’s the extras.”

Perhaps, but the fact remains police compensation represents the most significant upward pres-sure contained within the nearly $298-million 2016 YRP operating budget. How much? Well, a pre-sentation to the police services board in the fall noted that sala-ries and benefits accounted for

102 per cent of the force’s $10.7-million budget increase.

In last year’s Sunshine List story, Const. Andy Pattenden stated that less than half of the YRP employees included on last year’s salary disclosure list had a base salary of more than $100,000, while also arguing that the threshold for salary disclosure should be raised. The latter point is moot in an era of stagnating private-sector salaries as one doesn’t have to do much digging to realize that a salary of $100,000 is considered quite generous any-where outside the public realm, whereas the former assertion won’t carry much weight in a few years with the base salary for a first-class police constable already at $93,022 before any overtime or paid duty.

Now, all of this isn’t to say that police don’t deserve to be fairly compensated for the important work they do to keep our com-munities safe. However, with more than half of YRP employees now earning more than $100,000 per year, it begs the question: when is enough enough?

Unfortunately, there is little recourse available for municipali-ties when it comes to holding the line on emergency services sala-ries in general. Sure, they can try their best to keep wage increases to a minimum at the negotiating table, but, ultimately, the unions know they can always go the arbi-tration route if they so choose, which has typically worked out to the benefit of police officers and other first responders.

We don’t have all the answers, but how much we, as a society, can afford to shell out for policing in an era of declining crime rates and diminished ability to pay is a discussion we need to have and one that needs to steer clear of the trap that daring to even ques-tion policing expenditures is to put the citizenry at risk.

More cost-effective policing and maintaining public safety are not contradictory notions.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The raw milk issue, which is actually a much bigger food sovereignty and food security issue, is merely the tip of the ice-berg and will grow over time.

It ties in with agriculture versus agri-business, natural health, disease preven-tion versus disease management, con-stitutional rights (who owns your body, who decides what you eat and drink), lab science versus real life experiences, risk perception, reality, what’s public, what’s private, reasons why laws were originally enacted, when does a law need to be reformed, government boundaries, gov-ernment waste of taxpayer dollars, corpo-rate influences, appropriate enforcement responses (start with a phone call instead of a farm raid) and a host of other topics.

It’s all poured into the glass that holds the intriguing story of raw milk in Ontario and Canada.

Sometimes, something that’s wrong can be repeated for so long that it becomes accepted as right.

There’s only one way to find out what’s what in this debate.

Go visit a raw milk farm that produces milk for human consumption, not des-tined for pasteurization. There’s a differ-ence.

Ask the farmer about herd care and anything else you want to know. Spend time with the lovely cows.

Most of all, take along an open mind, open eyes and an open heart.

The town’s CAO was the top wage earner out of the 38 Town of Georgina employees on the province’s Sunshine List for 2015 released last Thursday.

As the highest ranking staff member, CAO Winanne Grant earned $181,153.93 in 2015.

The town’s highest ranking political position, held by Mayor Margaret Quirk, garnered a combined $106,806.52 from both the mayoral and regional council seats she holds.

The Public Salary Disclosure Act, brought in under Mike Harris’ Progressive Conservative government in 1996, requires organizations that receive public funding from the province to disclose annually the names, positions, salaries and total taxable benefits of employees paid $100,000 or

more in a calendar year.It is commonly known as the Sunshine

List since its intent was to shine light on top earners in Ontario’s public service, including those working for provincial and municipal governments, hospitals, school boards, police and fire departments.

The list grew by about 4,000 over last year — to 115,431 workers, earning com-bined salaries of more than $14.8 billion — despite the fact Hydro One employees were dropped from the list this year after the company was partially privatized.

Georgina’s senior management team at the civic centre, including its departmental directors and 12 of its managers, made the list of those earning $100,000 or more last year.

Top-earning directors include treasurer and director of administration Rebecca Mathewson earning $137,577.18, director

Georgina CEO tops town wage earners on Sunshine Listof planning and building Harold Lenters at $134,717.76 and director of operations and engineering Dan Pisani at $136,827.18.

But all six of the town’s directors earned between $120,000 and $140,000, with minor variations resulting from a number of factors, including each individual direc-tor’s wage grade through four steps, and as determined by their work anniversary; whether they have performed acting CAO duties in a calendar year; and manage-ment lieu overtime payout to a maximum of 52.5 hours if not taken as days off (for time accumulated for such things as atten-dance at evening council meetings and attendance at other town meetings after hours).

Eighteen members of the Georgina Fire Department are on the list, including its fire chief and deputy chief, 10 captains, five firefighters and one training and pre-vention officer.

Rather than the Sunshine List’s intent of promoting the idea of pay for performance among top wage earners and encouraging accountability, administrative studies pro-fessor Richard Leblanc — an expert in law, governance and ethics at York University — says, in reality, the disclosure act has backfired by driving up salaries.

Salaries have climbed as workers dis-covered their peers made the list and they felt they were worthy of earning compa-rable salaries, Leblanc says.

“It’s not greed. It’s not that ‘I want more’. It’s that ‘I see my contemporary earning more than I am and I (feel I) am more productive than that person’ so you use that as leverage. The intent at the time, there was a bit of shaming, but it was also to promote proper prudence, that we’re not over-paying public sector people. Sun-shine generally is a good idea.”

While the Sunshine List serves local tax-payers by providing transparency around taxpayer-funded municipal salaries, unless taxpayers are motivated to hold local gov-ernment accountable for “outrageous” annual salary increases without clear per-formance measures, there is little purpose to the list, Teena Bogner, president of the Newmarket Taxpayers’ Advocacy Group (NTAG), says.

Municipalities that enjoy “robust” man-

agement salary annual increases with-out a rigorous set of measurable criteria need a new approach, such as exploring a base salary with pay for performance, she added.

“Stop blaming comparator municipali-ties for raising their salaries and focus on performance and value for taxpayers’ money.”

At the time the list was brought in 20 years ago, Harris said it served as an important check on the public payroll.

If the list was adjusted for inflation since 1996, the real benchmark salary would now be around $142,000.

That would reduce the number of employees on the list by more than 80 per cent to about 19,000 employees, according to the provincial government.

The town’s CAO would be the only Geor-gina public servant to make that list.

But the 20-year-old benchmark isn’t going anywhere, according to Premier Kathleen Wynne, who defended the $100,000 pay threshold as still a lot of money to earn and still relevant.

The list is supposed to promote trans-parency and accountability, as well as fair compensation.

York-Simcoe MPP Julia Munro, who was part of the Progressive Conservative government that introduced the Sunshine List, said she is less concerned with wheth-er or not the $100,0000 threshold should be changed than she is about continuing the legislation’s goal of revealing public sector salaries to residents.

“I would argue that since it’s taxpayers’ money, it’s always relevant. Taxpayers have a right to the transparency that it repre-sents,” she said.

“It wasn’t (brought in) as a punitive thing. It was, ‘here is disclosure’….The important thing is to make this demon-stration of an ongoing commitment to act responsibly with tax dollars. And when people see egregious amounts of money being spent, for the average person when they see the people who earn $400,000 or $300,000 or more than that, people are upset. They’re not convinced that’s the best way to spend the tax dollars.”

Don’t single out Muzzo, outside criminal lawyer says

By Jeremy [email protected]

Marco Muzzo was sentenced to 10 years in prison for wiping out an entire generation of the Neville-Lake family, but if such sen-tences don’t help reduce drinking and driv-ing numbers, then what is the point?

This is the conversation that many mem-bers of Canada’s judicial community are having in the wake of the sentence Muzzo received Tuesday.

Although this is the longest sentence handed down to an impaired driver without a history of offences in Ontario, police and lawyers are wondering what needs to change outside the courtroom to make a dent in the numbers.

The reality is, the numbers make for ugly reading.

A statistician with York Regional Police found that between 2013 and 2015, the num-ber of drunk drivers caught by the service rose 43 per cent, from 795 to 1,140.

More recently, just as Muzzo’s sentence was being handed down Tuesday, York Regional Police reported a “disappointing” long weekend of impaired driving on our roads.

Thirteen drivers were arrested and charged with alcohol and drug-related crimi-nal offences between March 24 at 11 p.m. and March 28 at 1:40 a.m.

Criminal defence lawyer Ari Goldkind, who often works in York Region, said Muzzo is not his main concern. He’d rather focus on the countless drunk drivers who walk into the Newmarket courthouse daily before hav-ing their “wrists slapped” with a $1,000 fine and a one-year driving ban.

“What happened to Marco Muzzo was the equivalent of a public lynching,” he said.

“We all point our fingers at Marco Muzzo as if he woke up in bed and decided to go out to be Paul Bernardo. But, in reality, the only difference between him and another drunk driver is he had the misfortune of plowing into the beautiful Neville-Lake fam-ily.”

He said rather than engage in a public show court, like he contends occurred with Muzzo in the media and on “anti-social media”, the public need to shame the

“10,000 other drunk drivers” in our court system.

To do this, Goldkind says two things need to happen.

The first is that the government needs to lower the drinking level from 0.8 per cent blood alcohol level, which drivers are cur-rently allowed in their systems, to zero.

Goldkind is not the only one who thinks this is the obvious next step for the provin-cial government.

York police Const. Andy Pattenden said removing the decision about whether to have “one or two” drinks before getting behind the wheel would go a long way toward lowering drinking and driving num-bers.

“If you could remove that decision, it would make it an easier choice for people,” he said. “As it stands, the law gives some people the ability to have some, but others too much.”

Const. Pattenden said the system we cur-rently have is often left up to doubt, relying on citizens to decide whether they have had to much to drink.

But, he said, the reality is there are so many factors that go into deciding — including whether someone has eaten, is hydrated, their weight and height – it’s dif-ficult for anyone to do so.

He said the reality is if hearing and watching the details of Jennifer Neville-Lake’s story doesn’t stop people from drink-ing and driving, which it clearly hasn’t, in York Region at least, then what will?

“Every person in York Region knows this story,” he added. “And still every week-end in York Region a significant number of impaired people continue to make that decision knowing the worst possible out-come. Then what will it take?

The second suggestion by Goldkind is to threaten each and every impaired driver with incarceration.

“The message is not getting through and police don’t have the resources,” he said. “As crude an instrument as jail is, I would say prison is on the table until behaviour changes.”

Muzzo is expected to spend upwards of three years behind bars when time served and parole are factored in to the sentence.

Some legal eagles stepped up to the char-itable plate so two worthy organizations can continue to serve others in Georgina.

Fahey Crate Law has always recognized and appreciated the hard work and commit-ment of local charitable organizations.

It therefore, in turn, gives back to those groups and the entire community through its annual will campaign.

This year’s campaign raised $8,900 and, last week, James and Carolyn Crate passed on a very big cheque in that amount to Hospice Georgina’s executive director Marie Morton and the Georgina Commu-nity Food Pantry’s executive director Cath-erine Cook.

On behalf of all the staff at the law firm, the Crates thanked the two charitable orga-nizations for all their hard work, dedication and community spirit during the cheque presentation last Thursday.

Grateful to be selected as a recipient of this year’s campaign, Morton said the funds will assist Hospice Georgina to pro-vide free services for the terminally ill and the bereaved in Georgina.

“Last year, our clients received over 3,400 hours of service and it’s through donations such as this that we’ll be able to meet that need again this year,” Morton said.

Cook thanked Fahey Crate Law for not

only stepping up to the plate as one of the food pantry’s corporate sponsors, but also for contributing so generously on an ongoing basis to the organization, which continues to see an increase in demand for its services.

Under those circumstances, Cook said it is reassuring to know that the food pantry has such strong support from the Georgina community.

More than 140,000 meals were distrib-uted to low-income residents living in Geor-gina last year.

Pantry officials hope to expand the orga-nization’s outreach and models of service in the community with its move into The Link later this summer.

The interior build-out of its 3,360-square-feet of space in The Link is slated for June.

Its community garden program, funded by York Region, should be in the ground by the third week of May.

“Not only will we have access to ameni-ties such as a community garden and a full-service kitchen, but the layout and design of our new home will ensure the dignity of our clients — including seniors, families with young children, and school-aged youth and teens,” Food Pantry chairperson Stephen Palmer said during the lease signing event at The Link last month.

Negotiations with the town regarding Hospice Georgina’s licence agreement for The Link are ongoing.

CHRIST IS RISEN FROMTHE DEADJesus was crucified. He died. He was buried. He rose again. The resurrection of Jesus Christis the foundation of Christianity. There is no hope for mankind without the resurrection.The Apostle Paul explains this in 1 Corinthians 15:

“If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins. They also which arefallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are

of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and he is the firstfruitsof them that slept. For since by man came death, by man (Jesus) came also the resurrection

of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive”.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is pivotal to Christianity. If Christ had not been resurrectedand seen by many people (more than 500), our life would be meaningless. Jesus madetwelve appearances after his resurrection, to confirm this important event. He was the“Lamb of God’, provided by God to take away the sin of the world.

The Passover Feast recorded in Exodus 12 and the subsequent Jewish exodus from slaveryin Egypt are linked to the events which took place 1500 years later, when Jesus died as thePassover Lamb and gave deliverance to mankind.

BOULTBEE, Valerie Patricia (nee Ellis)It is with great sadness that the family of Valerie Patricia Boultbee (nee Ellis), announces her passing in Marbella, Spain on Wednesday, March 23, 2016, at the age of 78. She leaves her husband of 50 years, Alex Boultbee; her son, David Boultbee and daughter-in-law, Arlene Boultbee; her daughter, Amy Boultbee MacKinnon and son-in-law, Greg MacKinnon; her daughter, Ashley Boultbee and son- in-law, Peter Zantingh; and her eight grandchildren, whom she adored. Valerie was born on March 16th, 1938 in

Regina, Saskatchewan to Alfred and Emily Ellis. She attended Western University in London, Ontario, where she was a proud member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. She graduated from Western with a Bachelor of Education in 1960. After graduating, Val embarked on her career as a teacher, which spanned 43 years. She was passionate about teaching and education and demonstrated this by continuously taking university courses to further develop her skills. During her career, she worked as a Co-op teacher and served for many years as the Director of the Business Department at Bradford District High School. As an educator, Val went above and beyond, devoting hours of her personal time to impact the lives of many of her students through extracurricular involvement in educational programs such as DECA. Val married the love of her life, Alex on April 7th 1966, and together raised three children, David, Amy and Ashley. As much as she loved teaching, her ultimate joy and focus was her family. She was a loving and supportive mother. She instilled in her children a love of travel and adventure; a passion for learning; a commitment to excellence, and demonstrated the importance of giving back to her community as an active and dedicated member of All Saint’s Anglican Church. Val was also a devoted grandmother who loved to spend time with her grandchildren. She cherished being silly with them and spoiling them with ice cream and gummy bears, but as an educator at heart she always took time to teach and coach them, passing on her love of knowledge and the world. She made a real impact in their lives, creating lasting memories of their loving “Gran”.An opportunity to pay respect to the family will take place on Thursday, March 31st from 2-4 p.m. and again from 7-9 p.m. at Roadhouse and Rose Funeral Home at 157 Main Street South in Newmarket. Val’s funeral is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on April 1st at All Saint’s Anglican Church in King City with a reception to follow at her daughter Ashley’s home at 28 Elmwood Avenue in Schomberg. All are invited to attend and celebrate Val’s life. Memorial donations in memory of Valerie Boultbee may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario.

LINK, Donald ‘Don’ HenryPeacefully, surrounded by his family at his home in Keswick, on Friday, March 18, 2016 at the age of 72 years. Don, beloved husband of Patricia ‘Pat’ (nee Pettipas). Predeceased by his parents Stanley Link and Marjorie (nee Harrison). Loving father of Don B. Link of Richmond Hill, William ‘Bill’ Link (Karen) of Newmarket and Glen Link (Melanie) of Toronto. Cherished Poppa of Aidan, MacKenzie, Coulson, and Ethan and Godfather of Erika and Elly Green. Son-in-law of the late Mary Louise Clarke.

Dear brother of Eleanor (Erv Tyndall), Larry, Lillian Wood, Lucille Dean, Theresa (Reg Gibbs), Richard (Shirley Link) and of the late Herb and Lloyd. Dear brother- in-law of Audrey (Alex Wyllie), June Maccabe, Jim Pettipas, Lynn (Christopher Lindelien), Ruth (Rob Schmuck), Donna Pettipas (Ted Polkinghorne), the late Bernice (Hazen Rennie) and Arlene and her surviving husband Ron Brooks. He will be greatly missed by his many nieces, nephews, friends and relatives, especially Neil Pace and Elke Pettipas.

Don was a retired plant supervisor (Texas Instruments, Richmond Hill ON), Sunday School teacher (St. John’s United Church, Flesherton ON), fundraiser and volunteer driver for the Canadian Cancer Society, and a volunteer aide for cancer patients at the Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket. Don’s life was marked by professional success, though it centered on his love of family, community service and compassion for those who were sick and suffering. His great humour elevated all who knew him.

Funeral Services were held at the M.W. Becker Funeral Home (490 The Queensway South, Keswick) on Tuesday, March 22, 2016 Interment, Queensville Cemetery, Queensville.

In memory of Don, donations to the Ontario Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.

GRAHAM, Malcolm Cameron October 9th, 1947-March 25th, 2016

Malcolm passed away Friday, March 25th after a brief illness at Southlake Regional Health Center in Newmarket.Loving and devoted husband of Mary Beth and adored father of John (Connie) and the late Jeff (Susan) and cherished brother of Anne, George (Marilyn) and Robert (Barb). Beloved grandfather of Mackenzie, Ireland, Conner, Liam, Georgia and Jack. Also loved by many nieces and nephews and cousins.

Malcolm had many true friendships and will be missed by all. He grew up in Blenheim and raised his family in Newmarket and enjoyed all the pleasures of spending summers with family and friends at the cottage in Erieau. Malcolm enjoyed a life long career as a Chartered Accountant in his partnership at Bateman Graham & Fitzpatrick. Over the years, Malcolm cared for and helped everyone he met, what a wonderful and generous community supporter he was, raising awareness and funds for the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and most recently with the Southlake Foundation’s “Love Lives Here” Residential Hospice project through the Jeff Graham Memorial Golf Tournament. Malcolm spent the last two weeks of his life in the CICU cared for by their wonderful staff.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation to the Hospice Love Lives Here fund (http://www.southlakefoundation.ca/give/campaigns/love-lives-here) would be appreciated by the family.

Memorial visitation will be held at the Roadhouse & Rose Funeral Home, 157 Main St. S., Newmarket on Friday, April 1st from 2-4 p.m. & 7-9 p.m. A Memorial Service in celebration of Malcolm’s life will be held at Trinity United Church, 461 Park Ave., Newmarket on Saturday, April 2, 2016 at 1 p.m. with visitation beginning at 12 p.m. Cremation has taken place.

MOECKING, Elizabeth (née Pawlik)

of Newmarket, Ontario, passed away peacefully at the age of 82, at The Willows Estate Nursing Home on Thursday, March 24, 2016. Elizabeth was born in Paris, France, on September 1, 1933 to the late Daisy (née Busch) and Andreas Pawlik. She grew up in Estonia, Poland, and Germany, immigrating to Canada in 1951 and settling in Toronto. Elizabeth is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Mr. Paul E. Moecking.

She is also survived by her sister, Mrs. Daisy Rucker and was a proud aunt to her nephews and niece: Donald W. Rucker, Janet R. Shaefer (Craig), Thomas G. Rucker (Elizabeth) and Steven P. Rucker (Rebecca), and great aunt to eight nephews and nieces. She will also be missed by her dear friends from Hodgson Drive, Newmarket.

Elizabeth was a longtime employee in the accounting department of Woolco, and also worked for Burroughs Business Machines. She enjoyed travelling and, with her husband, was a member (over 50 years) of the Mohawk Rod and Gun Club. Elizabeth cherished weekends and vacations at the cottage that she and Paul built on Healey Lake in the 1960s. Friends and family recall with fondness Elizabeth’s outstanding culinary skill and the memorable meals of fish and game she prepared. She also passed her time with needlework and sewing, and the many beautiful crafts that she made for family and friends grace their homes as reminders of her kindness and generosity.

The family would like to thank the staff at The Willows Estate Nursing Home in Aurora for their loving care. In conformity with Elizabeth’s wishes, there will be no memorial service. She will be cremated and interment will take place at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

Grieving father wrote book to honour son’s wishes

By Simone [email protected]

y the end of his short life, Jonathan Leitao had travelled to 15 coun-tries.

His father, Vince Leitao, remembers the time his fam-ily — he and his wife Espy, son Jonathan and older son Matthew — took an excursion on a subma-rine during a Caribbean vacation.

Leitao remembers how excited Jonathan was by the visu-ally stunning displays and all the other trips the family took together.

Unfortunately, young Jona-than was also forced to travel a journey no parent wants his or her child to take.

Jonathan began feeling sick in October of 2013. After that, he endured tests, surgery and hospi-tal admissions.

Teenager Jonathan Leitao became a source

of comfort to his family

insight, this wisdom?” Jonathan was a student at St.

Mary Immaculate Catholic Ele-mentary School in Richmond Hill and went on to attend St. Theresa of Lisieux Catholic High School.

His obituary explains his final months.

“For the last 10 months he suffered bravely and patiently, prayerfully hoping for a cure. He eventually accepted that he is going home after just about 16 years on this earth, and helped us accept and let go.”

Jonathan wanted to help other sick children, to explain to them the procedures he’d had so they wouldn’t be afraid.

When he became sick, he real-ized he couldn’t do this and was hoping his father could help such children, instead.

Leitao wrote a self-published book Jonathan, Do You Know Me? From loss of a child to spiritual awakening, published in 2015. It is a personal story of loss and grief tran-scended by a spiritual awakening.

Proceeds from the book are being donated to The Hospital for Sick Children Foundation in honour of Jonathan.

Leitao knows his son would also have been happy to learn of his advocacy for changes to Ontario’s Employment Standards Act. Leitao has lobbied for the introduction of Jonathan’s Law, a bill dedicated to the memory of Jonathan that requests a provision of up to a 52-week bereavement leave for par-ents who lose a child.

Go to www.vinceleitao.com for more information.

Jonathan, Do You Know Me: From loss of a child to spiritual awakening is available at amazon.ca

In May 2014, he was diagnosed with a type of untreatable liver cancer that is extremely uncom-mon in patients under age 25.

Doctors predicted he had four to nine months to live.

For Vince and Espy Leitao, this devastating news was incompre-

hensible. This was their beloved son

who loved practising basketball for hours in the driveway of their Richmond Hill home.

But when told he was dying, Jonathan had little anguish, his father said. He cried for about 20 minutes. After that, he spoke like it was an event that was happen-ing and moved on, Leitao said.

“That’s what changed my life,” Leitao said. “Jonathan said: ‘I’m not afraid to die. It’s nothing’,” Leitao said.

“I was amazed, looking at the way he was holding himself (together) and talking. It’s a spirit within himself that liberated him.”

This teenager became a pillar of wisdom and strength for his family.

“It was a tragedy,” Leitao said. “Our kid was dying, yet comfort was coming from him. He asked me, ‘Are you going to be OK?’ I said ‘no’. He said, ‘You have to accept it, let go, then you will be OK.’ I never taught him that. Where does a 16-year-old get this

Jonathan Leitao (right) travelled to many countries with his big brother Matthew, and parents Vince and Espy, and inspired his family during his tragic journey through cancer and spiritual awakening.
