Banning dogs based purely on how they look is the same as per-secuting all blue-eyed people for the poor decisions of one blue-eyed person, according to Lindsay Buccella.

In an effort to help pass Bill 16, which would repeal parts of the

breed-specific legislation, other-wise known as the pit bull ban, the Stouffville resident is hosting the Stouffville Walk To End BSL — All Breeds Welcome Oct. 6.

“I hope to make people aware of what is going on with breed-specific legislation, not just with pit bulls but all dogs are at risk,” she said.

Bill 16 is a private members’ bill tabled by Lanark-Frontenac-Len-nox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier late last year.

It was ordered for a third and final reading back in May.

“I believe the present bill as-is is a totally unjust and unfair bill,” Mr. Hillier told The Sun-Tribune.

“I’ve know far more people

injured by cows than dogs. I think people would find it ludicrous to ban holsteins,” he said.

“I believe very strongly the owner makes the dog. If you train a dog to fight and hurt people, it will,” Ms Buccella said.

“If there is an incident, it’s the responsibility of the owner, not the

MUSICIANS RALLYING AROUND SINGER


Carys Montgomery is battling cancer, again.

It’s the third time in four years the 29-year-old Stouffville resi-dent has faced this fight.

The local singer/songwriter, however, has opted to forego traditional medical care and is being treated by a Richmond Hill naturopath.

“I have decided I don’t want to put my body through treat-ment and radiation because I’m young,” she said.

Part of Ms Montgomery’s treatment protocol consists of becoming a vegan, as well as eat-ing an 80 per cent raw diet and cutting out all forms of sugar, she said.

“A big part of my choice is my trust in God. I believe he is going to restore me to full health,” she said.

Ms Montgomery’s treatment is not covered by OHIP and her parents are missionaries. Her father just left for a six-week mis-sion to Africa.

Roundabouts are leading edge and Mayor Wayne Emmerson wants more of them.

“Stop signs are a false sense of security. People go through stop signs and stop lights,” Mr. Emmerson told The Sun-Tribune last week.

The mayor has asked town staff to bring a report back to council regarding their cost versus traffic lights.

He has been told roundabouts are cheaper, he said, but wants it confirmed. Mr. Emmer-son also wants to know if smaller round-

abouts can be constructed to fit into older neighbourhoods.

“We can only do it in new developments but I’d like to put them in older areas,” he said.

Stouffville currently has roundabouts along Reeves Way Boulevard, Millard Avenue and Tenth Line.

Mr. Emmerson is also lobbying the region and has been doing so for the past two years, he said, to construct one just north of Millard Avenue at Bayberry Street and Ninth Line.

“I think it’s the way of the future,” the mayor said.

“Roundabouts are leading edge,” he said.

Last month’s Church Street shed fire was deliberately set.

“A garden shed with no power and no means for a fire to start” is just one of the reasons York Regional Police have made this conclusion, said Det. Sgt. Chris Dolson of 5 District’s criminal investigations bureau.

Police are still analyzing information but “it would point to someone being in the shed”, he said.

“We’re trying to develop that information that will lead us to a description of the suspect,” Det. Sgt. Dolson said. “At this point in time, there could be more than one, but our information looks to be one person.”

A 911 call was made around midnight Aug. 25 for a shed fire at 6 Church St., which is next to the Lebovic Centre for Arts and Entertainment - Nineteen on the Park and the Stouffville Lawn Bowling clubhouse.

The shed was in flames, as was part of the prop-erty fence that separated the clubhouse and residential property, according to Whitchurch-Stouffville Fire Chief Rob McKenzie.

“It killed the shed. The shed burned down. It was a complete write-off,” Mr. McKenzie said.

The Church Street resident moved into the home a few days before the fire, according to the fire chief.

However, there is no indication the new resident and alleged suspect are connected, according to Det. Sgt. Dolson.

The investigation is being spearheaded by York Regional Police.

“Given the nature of the fire, the amount of damage, the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office doesn’t attend each and every fire,” Det. Sgt. Dolson said.

Neither the value of the shed nor the type of acceler-ant are known at this time, according to police.

The lawn bowling clubhouse sustained between $15,000 and $20,000 worth of damage to its north side, roof and ceiling. One window was blown out.

Within 48 hours, three businesses on Ringwood Drive were broken into this month.

Nothing more than a small amount of cash was stolen in each case, according to York Regional Police.

The first business, on the second floor of the 86 Ringwood Dr. complex, was hit between 9 p.m. Sept. 17 and 9 a.m. Sept. 18.

The business door was pried open and the unit was entered, according to police.

The second business had its front door smashed with a rock between 8:15 p.m. Sept. 18 and 1:30 p.m. Sept. 19.

The same business had been broken into in June 2011, where again, a small amount of money was stolen, according to police.

On Sept. 20, a third business was noted to have its rear door not properly closing and staying shut.

There are no suspects at this time, how-ever, police are viewing video surveillance and the cases are still being investigated,

according to York Regional Police.“It appears all three matters (from

2012) involved suspects gaining entry and obtaining cash. Other valuable items in these premises were not touched,” said media spokesperson Sgt. Gary Phillips of York Regional Police in an e-mail to The Sun-Tribune this week.

‘As for the suspects stealing money

only, it would appear this was their

motive. Leaving all other valuables

untouched can only be answered by

those responsible.’

“As for the suspects stealing money only, it would appear this was their motive. Leaving all other valuables untouched can only be answered by those responsible,” he said.

MP’s office to the rescue over pension

I would like to comment on some personal happen-ings.

First, though, I must say I am not a designated spokes-person for the Conservative Party of Canada.

Unfortunately, I, like thou-sands of other Ontarians, am a victim of WSIB, often referred to as workers’ com-pensation board.

After 10 years, when I finally got a pittance of what I had lost in wages, this was incorrectly deducted from my government pension, putting me right back into the same black hole.

With the help of the peo-ple in Oak Ridges-Markham MP Paul Calandra’s office, specifically Rena Sassano, the pension situation has been corrected.

The help of Mrs. Sassano

and the people in that office on Main Street was greatly appreciated.

When voting, it is my prac-tice to look at all the issues and consider the best person for the riding.

he Sarnia Observer report-ed last month on a mother who dropped her son, Nathan, who has cerebral palsy and requires 24-hour

care, on the steps of a local agency, with no intention of picking him up later, as usual.

The mother denied she was “aban-doning” him, as she fully intended to continue “being part of his life”. As a double-lung transplant recipient with severe rheumatoid arthritis, the mother simply can no longer physi-cally care for her son.

This was not a sudden, unexpected action on the mother’s part. Despite ongoing support and advocacy of the Sarnia-Lambton Community Living Association and active intervention of Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley, efforts to get the Ministry of Community and Social Services to resolve this crisis led nowhere.

The ministry said funding has greatly increased over the years and that $25 million was devoted to addressing urgent family needs. The association said it hadn’t the money to find a proper home for Nathan, so it would look for a bed

Who will care for the least among us?

in a seniors’ home.The idea of “parental abandonment”,

or of placing young people in seniors’ homes, may be shocking to the public, but it is not at all surprising to those of us associated with Community Liv-ing, an organization that advocates for people with intellectual disabilities and their families.

Since we celebrated the closure of Ontario’s large institutions for the intellectually disabled in 2009, we have been eager to see former residents fully included in their communities.

Instead, we have seen an ever-grow-ing list of 12,000 individuals and their families still waiting for full community inclusion. We are told it costs $150,000 a year to provide such accommodation, but what would be the cost of institu-tional care?

We know hospitalized care is far more expensive than home care, so we can only guess that it would cost far more if people were placed in institu-tions — but we simply don’t know.

What we do know is the story report-ed from Sarnia is not unique. As aging parents die or become too ill or feeble to care for their sons and daughters, we face a ballooning crisis because the province is not planning to dramatically increase funding.

To cope with this challenge, perhaps the government needs to think outside funding silos and adopt a cross-minis-try strategy that taps into the massive budgets of ministries such as health, education, housing, seniors and youth — this would be a concerted effort to deal with a complex challenge that is now resting on the shoulders of aging families waiting for supports.

Government might also consider breaking its habit of funding agency

Tprograms that do not quickly adapt to societal changes, which it could do eas-ily through its “transformation agenda”.

Instead of channelling more money directly to agencies, it could move fast-er toward individualized and portable funding so that families — who know their sons and daughters best — may choose and pay for the most appropri-ate residential, employment and social help they need from agencies. Working with their adult dependents, families would thus be empowered to craft sup-ports tailored for them.

If we are judged by how we care for the least among us, particularly at a time of so-called “austerity”, then as a society we are obviously failing.

We won’t soon get over the shock of the story from Sarnia, as it reminds us that many families are being driven to despair while the elite thrive. Our lead-ers must show greater compassion and ingenuity in their commitment to the most vulnerable.

Election recount policy to council

A recount in the next municipal election may only be possible if the number of votes separating the winner and runner-up is less than the greater of 10 votes or 0.25 per cent of the total ballots cast for that position.

A municipal election close-vote recount policy is expected to come before council Tuesday night.

During the 2010 election, at least 23 Ontar-io municipalities granted recounts, however, few recount policies existed, according to a council report.

Whitchurch-Stouffville was one such municipality.

Twenty-five votes separated Ward 3 incumbent Clyde Smith and candidate Hugo Kroon. Mr. Kroon requested a recount, which

was granted by council.The recount reduced the number of bal-

lots by one.At the time, council requested staff estab-

lish a recount policy.The 2010 election was not the first time

Ward 3 results were recounted. It was actually the third.

The first was in 1997, when nine votes sepa-rated winner Peter Dobrich and Sophie Ange-lis. In 2000, another recount was held between Mr. Dobrich and Ms Angelis when they were separated by six ballots. In both cases, the recounts did not affect the overall result and Mr. Dobrich was the victor in each election.

The council meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the town hall, 111 Sandiford Dr.

The next election will be held Oct. 27, 2014.

The Downtown Stouffville Working Group wants the traffic lights at the intersection of Main and Market/Mill streets to be set to red flashing mode.

The working group’s resolution, which is on Tuesday night’s town council agenda, also states the flashing red light be activated for three months and that vehicular and pedes-trian traffic at the intersection be monitored

“to determine whether it improved pedes-trian movements at this location”.

Also on council’s agenda is another reso-lution by the Downtown Stouffville Working Group that states: “a staff/merchant permit system be adopted for the Care & Share parking lot and the Park Drive parking lot.”

The council meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the town office, 111 Sandiford Dr.

The current legislation calls for the ban of pit bulls in Ontario and penalties for owners of any dog that poses a danger to the public were toughened up.

A pit bull is defined as a pit bull terrier, Staffordshire Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, American pit bull Terrier or “a dog that has an appearance and physical char-acteristics substantially similar to any of those dogs”.

“It’s very hard to prove your dog is not part of a breed that doesn’t exist,” Mr. Hillier said.

Part of the legislation also states designat-ed peace officers, which include municipal bylaw officers and OSPCA inspectors/agents, have the right to enter a property without a warrant “where there are reasonable grounds to believe that entry without warrant is nec-essary to prevent imminent bodily harm or death to any person or domestic animal”.

“Everybody who has a dog is affected because it allows the government to take any dog ... no matter what dog it is,” Ms Buccella said.

“It takes away your rights (regarding) what kind of dog we can own,” she said.

‘Everybody who has a dog is affected

because it allows the government

to take any dog ... no matter what

dog it is.’

The walk starts at the Main Street train station at 1 p.m. Ms Buccella said she has about 50 people already confirmed they will attend.

Because a third reading of any private members’ bill is at the discretion of the legisla-ture, Mr. Hillier said “that’s where public inter-est and the display of public will help bring it forward. Everybody on that walk should call up their MPPs and demand it come up for a third reading.”

For more information on the walk, e-mail Lindsay Buc-cella at [email protected] or call 416-540-8611.

Norman Stunden backstopped champs

The star goaltender on Stouffville’s 1952 Ontario senior hockey champs has died.

Norman John Stunden died Sept. 23 at a long-term care centre in Bradford, in his 83rd year.

He was a longtime resident of Auro-ra, who worked for what is now the York Region Media Group, which publishes The Sun-Tribune.

His funeral service was held Thursday at Aurora United Church.

He is mourned by wife Shirley Marie (nee Holman), children Terry Smith (Bob) and Trudy Stunden, plus grandchildren Jennifer, Ryan, Erin, Jason (Stefanie) and Jamie and great-grandchild Jackson.

Mr. Stunden was a newspaper composi-tor for decades, pasting the news stories and advertisements together on pages before they went on the printing presses.

He worked in the days of lead type and typewriters and progressed to word proces-sors and, later, computers, rising through the ranks to becoming a department super-visor. He retired in 1992.

He was equally known and admired in the sports arena. He was a lefthanded fastball player with the Buttonville Sluggers, and an outstanding goaltender with the Markham Millionaires hockey team before joining the Stouffville Clippers.

He inspired many players as a women’s softball coach in Aurora.

To help pay for her treatment, Ms Montgomery still works part-time at two jobs – The Cornerhouse on Main and at Markham’s Long and McQuade. She also lives at home and the family has moved into their basement so they can rent out the home’s upper floor.

“I’m not complaining. We’re blessed, but there are challenges,” she said.

Friend and fellow musician Mike Burns put it more bluntly: “The treatment is expensive and killing her financially.”

Which is why he organized the Caring for Carys Concert Oct. 4 at the Lebovic Centre for Arts and Entertainment - Nine-

teen on the Park.“You always help your friends. That’s

my philosophy,” he said.“It’s not like she’s not trying. She’s a

hard-working girl. She’s trying to find a balance between her music and work,” Mr. Burns said.

Performing at the show will be Morgan Sadler, Pat Mete, Andrew Heathcote, the Marion Drexler Band, the Jeff Catto Band, Audio Ranch and Bruce MacNeil, who will introduce a new song in honour of Ms Montgomery, You Lift Me Up.

Longtime friend and musician Justin Kerswill, along with Ms Montgomery, will also take to the stage.

“It’s a burden on her and her family.

Being her best friend and knowing her family, it’s just important to uphold each other in these times,” Mr. Kerswill said.

“It’s going to be an awesome event. Tickets are going really fast,” Mr. Ker-swill said. “It’s going to be a great night of entertainment and I really believe it’s going to bless Carys.”

Tickets are $30 each and available at Long and McQuade on Markham Road, The Cornerhouse on Main, Mike Burns, Justin Kerswill, the Montgomery family and Nineteen on the Park http://nine-teenonthepark.com/

There will be a cash bar, hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction and prizes.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Bobby Hughes has returned to North America to resume his professional hockey career.

After toiling last season in Germany, the 24-year-old Stouffville resident will play in the East Coast Hockey League with the Alas-ka Aces.

The Anchorage-based team recently signed Hughes, a former first-round pick of the Carolina Hurricanes, in the fourth round of the 2006 National Hockey League entry draft.

Last season in Germany, the former Kings-ton Frontenacs Ontario Hockey League star

played in a shortened campaign in which he had six goals and nine assists in just 10 regular season tilts.

During the post-season, the veteran for-ward added five goals and four assists in six games.

Prior to playing in Germany, Hughes split time in the American Hockey League with the Albany River Rats, where he launched his pro career in 2007-08, and Bridgeport Sound Tigers, the East Coast Hockey League with the Florida Everblades and Utah Grizzlies and Central Hockey League with the Wichita Thunder.

Caggiula charged in North Dakota

Stouffville Spirit graduate Drake Caggiula is facing a charge in the United States.

The Pickering native was one of four play-ers on the University of North Dakota hockey team charged by Grand Forks County prose-cutors with underage drinking last weekend.

The incident stemmed from a 911 call received by the University of North Dakota police at around 8 p.m. Sept. 15 of an intoxi-cated male who passed out in a dormitory.

The police report cited paramedics on the

scene recommended two of the freshman in question were to be watched overnight while another went to the hospital’s emergency room on suspicion of alcohol poisoning.

Caggiula, 18, along with Jordan Schmaltz, 18, Bryn Chyzyk, 19, and Zane Gothberg, 20, are to appear in court on a Class B mis-demeanour Oct. 30. University officials said they will handle their discipline internally.

A member of last year’s Spirit club that cap-tured the Ontario Junior Hockey League title, Caggiula was named OJHL playoff MVP after amassing 37 points in 23 post-season tilts.

Days after coming out on top in his fight at UFC 152, Sean Pierson is chock-full of a multitude of feelings.

They include the soreness he feels fol-lowing a three-round unanimous decision victory over Lance Benoist at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, along with the gratefulness he feels for being back home, surrounded by his friends and family.

And there’s more.Pierson says he couldn’t help but be

inspired by the boisterous support he received last Saturday night en route to the octagon, during his fight and in the moments after his hand was raised as the victor.

“It’s pretty inspirational,” Pierson said earlier this week in an interview. “It’s weird because I’ve fought in Toronto before and maybe I didn’t take it in enough, but it felt different. Right when my entrance song hit, for me I just heard the crowd roar, which was deafening for me. It was a really strong ova-tion and I was ecstatic for it. (I got) a lot of support in Toronto, and it’s not that I didn’t get it before, but I really noticed it this time.”

And the support was more than warranted for the Stouffville resident.

He came out and impressed on Saturday, his fifth fight with the UFC and second in Toronto, earning two take-downs of Benoist in the first round and connecting on several solid strikes.

Pierson was looking good for the win, but adversity struck as Benoist finally got through, staggering Pierson with a strike and taking the fight to the mat. From there Pierson was on the receiving end of a series of lefts and rights,

but managed to keep his body moving and avoid having the fight stopped.

“I felt I had won the fight, but at the same time you never know. I had felt that round one and two were mine. I even felt that round three up until the end was mine, obviously it wasn’t at the end of the day, but in my mind I had won 13 minutes of this fight, so I thought I had won the fight,” he said. “I think I even put my hand up right after I heard the bell. I think I put my hand up. As badly beaten up as I was, my hand went in the air.”

‘I am at the end of my career

and I am trying to cement myself

as being one of the pioneers for

Canadian mixed martial arts...’

He was right as all three judges scored the fight 29-28 in favour of Pierson.

The win upped Pierson’s UFC record to 3-2, but for the 36-year-old veteran, it signified much more than a tick in the win-loss column.

“It was sort of a monkey off my back,” he said. “I am at the end of my career and I am trying to cement myself as being one of the pioneers for Canadian mixed martial arts and for me, this is something that I really wanted. I wanted that big win in Toronto, you know, my back yard.”

“The amount of fan support I’ve gotten has been absolutely incredible. That’s what has made this whole journey and this whole thing I’ve chosen with me fighting the right decision,” he said. “The support people have given me has just been amazing.”

Spirit D-man arrives from Michigan

Kenny Burrows signed a player for the Stouffville Spirit Thursday whose family lineage he’s quite familiar with.

The general manager was once coached by defenceman Dakota Red-shaw’s grandfather Wayne when he played for the Uxbridge Bruins Jr. C club.

In minor hockey, Burrows played for Stouffville against Redshaw’s father Shane, who also spent time with the Uxbridge Bruins, Markham Junior B Travelways and Pickering Panthers, where he was a team-mate of Greg Roberts, brother of former NHL player Gary Roberts.

Family matters aside, Burrows inked

the 17-year-old, six-foot, one-inch, 165-pound native of Shelby Township, Mich. because of the potential he saw during five pre-season games.

“He’s a puck-moving defence man,” said Burrows. “He will get more physical as he gets older and stronger.”

The Spirit needed clearance from Hockey Canada because Redshaw attend-ed school in Rochester, Mich. and toiled with the Rochester Rattlers.

Redshaw was expected to join the Spirit for its game against the Wellington Dukes last night and make his home debut in front of more than 20 relatives who live within 10 minutes of the Stouffville Arena tonight when the Spirit hosts the Cobourg Cougars at 7:30 p.m.
