Two Richmond Hill men face charges after police intercepted a package containing drugs.

Investigators with the York Regional Police drugs and vice unit have charged two men after a courier package, originating from overseas, was found to contain opium.

York officers were alerted by authorities that a courier package containing a controlled sub-stance was in transit from Heathrow Airport in London, England.

The package, which had originated from Iran, contained 1.8 kilograms of opium and was being couriered to an address in Richmond Hill.

Drugs and vice officers tracked the delivery to the home and later arrested a 52-year-old

man for possession of opium. Following the arrest, investigators executed

a search warrant at the residence and located an additional quantity of marijuana and a sec-ond suspect was arrested.

Hoshang Dejdar, 52, of Richmond Hill, faces numerous charges, including importation of a controlled substance, conspiracy to import a controlled substance, possession of opium for the purpose of trafficking, and trafficking opium.

He has been held in custody and was to appear in Newmarket court yesterday.

Another resident of Richmond Hill, Alex Powiera, 19, faces charges of possession of mar-ijuana for the purpose of trafficking and posses-

Stigma of dementia in ethnic cultures can bring shame, guilt

BONUS FEATURE

BY KIM [email protected]

It was a cold winter day when a woman in her 40s discovered her mother, who had dementia, wander-ing in the snow without a coat.

Instinct kicked in.The daughter struggled to bring

her back indoors, finally gripping her by the hair to drag her into the house.

It looked a lot like elder abuse and a witness phoned police.

The daughter, who spoke only Tamil and couldn’t explain the situ-ation to authorities, was arrested and spent the night in a jail cell, the mother sent back home to be cared for by her young grandchildren.

“She was just thinking ‘this is my mother, my business, and I need to get her out of the cold into the warm house’,” recalls Jeyasingh David, who was called in to interpret.

David was program manager of Providence Healthcare’s Tamil Care-giver Project at the time, and it was his job to support and educate the community.

“There is little understanding of dementia in the Tamil population. Sometimes they think, old people just get crazy or revert back to a sec-ond childhood.”

If “the cane” worked to toilet train a child, for example, they may believe a similar approach will help “re-train” an incontinent parent, he says.

Dementia is a challenge for all family members, but among some ethnic communities, it can be dev-astating.

“Approaches to disease can be very different in different ethnic groups,” explains Mimi Lowi-Young, CEO of Alzheimer Society of Canada. “With an aging population and the increasing diversity in Ontario, this needs to be recognized.”

The Tamil language, for example, has no word for dementia.

“You have to use a sentence to describe what’s happening,” says Tazim Bhanji, program manager at York Region’s Social Services Net-work.

South Asians are prepared to sac-rifice to care for their parent at home,

David says, but they don’t always have the understanding of dementia to know how.

Public information workshops don’t work well because few are will-ing to go public with a disease rife with stigma, he adds.

“If there is a hint that dementia or mental illness is in the family, a daughter might encounter difficulties finding a husband. There is also ten-dency to look down on anyone who puts his parent in long-term care.”

Many in the South Asian commu-nity share a sense of duty, believing that elders must be cared for in the home, Bhanji says, but as dementia progresses, the burden on those care-givers becomes overwhelming.

GAVE UP JOB TO MOVE HOME

Farid Shamji is travelling that road with his elderly parents.

Shamji was living in Waterloo, pursuing a successful career as direc-tor of operations with a large corpo-ration, when his father, now 77, was diagnosed with dementia.

At first, his mother, 72, was able to care for him in the elderly couple’s Markham home. Once a week, they left the house for a break at the South Asian day program.

But within about four years, Shamji’s father lost all speech and much of his cognitive function. His needs were too great for the day program and too great for Shamji’s mother.

Shamji left his six-figure income to move in with his parents in Markham, taking a job at half the salary in order to be able to work from home.

It wasn’t an easy decision, but he felt he had no choice.

“How can you not do this? You looked up to them, they held you, they kept you from falling off a bike, and now they’re not able to use a spoon or even swallow?

“I grew up in an extended fam-ily, living with my grandparents and aunts and uncles, and to think I could give up a member of a fam-ily so someone else can take care of him, it just doesn’t sit well with me.”

Many immigrant families are in worse shape, Bhanji says, forced to leave their parents alone while they earn a living or, in desperation, leav-ing them at the local hospital, hop-ing doctors can help.

“It’s not fair. We’ve allowed these seniors to come to Canada, but pro-vide no services. It is a tsunami and we are definitely not prepared.”

Programs such as the South Asian day program, which operates out of the Unionville Home Society, provide some relief to families car-ing for seniors with mild dementia – offering culturally appropriate food, language and activities.

But relief is limited to weekends only, and has a long waiting list.

For those who do move into long-term care, the transition can be extra

difficult because the environment is usually culturally unfamiliar, says Naila Butt, Social Services Network executive director.

Similar challenges face those of Asian background, says Sherry Li, administrator of Mon Sheong in Richmond Hill.

“Chinese families have strong family values and will care for them at home until the caregiver is burned out, so at times this makes for a lot of guilt and shame.”

Decisions about putting a family member into long-term care or end-of-life are viewed as negative and rarely include the dementia patients themselves, she says. Language is another issue. Those with dementia tend to revert to primary languages as symptoms worsen.

Volunteers who speak various dialects are recruited to help at Mon Sheong and culture-specific music and activities tap into older memo-ries, but this aid is in short supply. More than 2,500 people are on the Mon Sheong waiting list, and there’s a five to six-year wait for a bed.

Alzheimer Society of Toronto translates educational material into other languages, but David believes

more programs that target ethnic communities are needed.

In the U.K., where similar prob-lems exist, the Alzheimer’s Society is developing culturally tailored ser-vices including peer support groups, face-to-face sessions and an educa-tional DVD to take home and share with family members.

Another option, for those in the Tamil community where teledramas are popular, may be films depicting families learning to manage demen-tia, David says.

Shamji would like to see more respite help and more volunteers in the Islamic community who are educated in dementia.

He worries about what’s ahead.“My generation is used to helping

their families, but the millennials are different…. I don’t see them taking care of their parents this way. And they just won’t be able to, financially or physically. Are we going to spend our golden years in an institution and end our lives there?”

“We need to really start thinking about how we’re going to manage this,” adds Butt. “It takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to take care of the elderly.”

New resource helps families cope with dementia

Alison Finkelstein watched her mother, Michele Sperling, fade from a vibrant, outgoing, caring person into a shell of herself.

Alzheimers robbed her mom of watching her daughter marry and her grandchildren celebrate bar and bat mitvahs, it ate away at her brain and left her in diapers, bed-ridden, barely able to swallow.

It has been a long and heartbreaking journey, made even more cruel because her mother lives in Florida and Finkelstein, a mother of five, lives in Thornhill (see photo of duo at left).

“I wish I could visit more. I watch for seat sales, but I don’t like to always leave my hus-band alone with the kids.”

Instead, she tries to help her sister, who lives

near her mom, with medical decisions and pre-arranging the funeral.

Her sister holds the phone to her mother’s ear and they hope she can tell whose voice it is on the other end of the line, thousands of miles away.

Caring for someone with dementia, whether you are close by or from a distance, is more like a marathon than a sprint.

There are unrelenting days that test your patience and strength, but also moments to treasure forever, says Nira Rittenberg, an occu-pational therapist and author of a new book to help the growing number of families who are facing this challenge.

Rittenberg and co-author Bianca Stern have compiled a guidebook for those on the frontline. A newly launched helpline by Baycrest also aims to help with trained volunteer caregivers offering support.

When those with dementia become increas-ingly forgetful and resistant to care, it can be hard to communicate, explains Rittenberg, a member of Baycrest’s psychogeriatric team pro-viding outreach to family caregivers at home.

More challenges come when family mem-bers live at a distance, she says. Old sibling conflicts may resurface or the out-of-towner may appear to be the golden child, swooping in periodically while those in-town face the day-to-day drudgery.

Family members may feel that they have lost the person they knew, adds Stern, “but look beyond the obvious symptoms of cognitive decline and there are often many abilities still preserved”.

The guidebook, Dementia: A Caregiver’s Guide, provides evidence-based strategies, tackling 21 topics including legal issues, sex and intimacy, travel and dental care.

It’s designed to be “the next best thing to hav-ing a Baycrest advisor by your side”, says Stern, executive director of the Department of Culture, Arts and Innovation at Baycrest.

For caregivers who feel isolated, overwhelmed, depressed or burned out, a free call-in demen-tia line is available. This two-year pilot project will cater to family members who look after a loved one with dementia at home or who have a loved one with dementia in long-term care.

Baycrest is looking for volunteers who have had caregiving experience to staff the helpline. To assist, call 416-785-2500 ext. 2250.

To access the Baycrest Dementia Helpline for Families call 416-785-2500, ext. 2236

Dementia: A Caregiver’s Guide is available for $27.99 + tax and shipping at www.baycrest.org/dacg. Proceeds support Baycrest programs.

Barbaric cultural hotline condemnable

Members of the Conser-vative party have proposed a “Barbaric Cultural Practices” hotline for women in such extenuating circumstances as forced marriage or domi-neering husbands.

The idea itself is admira-ble: of course, we must pro-vide resources for women experiencing mistreatment. The suggested implementa-tion, however, reflects a hor-rific lack of empathy incom-patible with any alleged good intent.

To elaborate, upon inspection, one finds that the majority of injustices given as intended targets fall neatly under stereotyped misogynistic practices — arranged marriage, bridal abuse and spousal mistreat-ment.

These examples, restrict-ed in scope, represent certain misinformed generaliza-tions fueling discrimination: “Muslim”, “Arab”, “Brown”, etc. In other words, the nomenclature of the sugges-tion proliferates exclusively a hateful image projected on a benign minority — the image of a socially undevel-oped, culturally backwards, inferior peoples.

I don’t mean to trivialize the suffering experienced by some women in these groups. I point out, rather, the narrow-mindedness of the proposition: what of women in other situations of domestic abuse, sexual harassment and workplace discrimination — disturb-ingly ubiquitous circum-stances?

How can the Conserva-tives justify phrasing their idea exactly such that it imposes a tunnel-vision blinding to the terribly more common wrongs woman are subjected to? Why is this not a plain “Women’s Sup-port Hotline”?

This brings me to the more audacious of absurdi-ties borne in the proposi-tion. Did nobody pause to

consider the phrase “Bar-baric Cultural Practices?” It takes just a glance to see the gross linguistic irresponsi-bility of the term.

The word “barbaric” is rooted in fundamen-tally ethnocentric, xeno-phobic and nationalistic sentiments harboured by Ancient Greeks toward their enemies; its ancient use meant both “foreigner” and “rude”.

This implication — an ethnocentric double-enten-dre — is no weaker in Eng-lish, and thus the phrase “barbaric cultural practic-es” constructs a socioethnic hierarchy atop which the maximally “civilized” West-erners are placed against the “barbaric” Easterners, plunged below.

With this utterance, entire millenia of cultures are being declared barbar-ic, condemned to inher-ent inferiority, sentenced to second-rate existence alongside the “better” cul-tures and their “enlight-ened” practices. Those three words are a complete linguistic debacle, offering a look into the abyss that is bigotry.

I am firmly in support of resources for women in crisis. But for the sake of avoiding a collapse into self-righteous oblivious-

ness, we cannot call them “Barbaric Cultural Practic-es” resources.

To do so would be preju-dice under the guise of help-ing those in need — a subtle and condemnable act.

Work with dementia victims exhausting

Re: Metroland dementia series (bit.ly/1NWzvq8):

I have worked in com-munity health care for 10 years.

These people are shells of their former selves. Even-tually, eating, drinking and toileting become a group effort.

It’s frustrating, exhausting and terribly upsetting caring for dementia sufferers. No one wants this outcome.

Maybe the policymakers should pass the doctor-as-sisted suicide legislation and let people decide for them-selves.

EDITORIAL

ISSUE: York’s senior population set to increase dramatically in the next 20 years, and so, too,

will dementia.

BOTTOM LINE: Policymakers need to act soon before tidal wave

of dementia becomes a crisis.

When we talk about the future of our senior citizen popula-tion and the state of care many mature residents require now and what services they can be expected to receive in the future, it can seem a very doom and gloom scenario.

The statistics speak for them-selves.

In just two decades — from 2011 to 2031 — York Region’s senior population is expected to increase by 148 per cent, almost four times faster than the growth rate of the overall population.

From societal shifts to family dynamics, from health care to the workplace, from housing to trans-portation and more, there are few areas and services that will remain untouched by the unprecedented greying demographics.

Not to mention the fact that York Region is sorely lacking when it comes to viable, affordable housing options, with few rental units and little to no government-supported strategies in place to deal with an impending need for myriad senior care issues.

All these issues are far more complicated when you factor in health care and the startling out-look surrounding dementia.

As a whole, Canada’s senior population will see a dramatic increase in dementia cases in the coming years, according to health professionals and agen-cies such as the Alzheimer Soci-ety of Canada.

That’s why Metroland Media investigated what’s being done to prepare for this increase, the major hurdles that exist and the innova-tive work already underway and giving hope to those living with the disease and those who may be affected by it in the future.

And there is no question that many people will be affected.

By 2031, for example, there will be more than 311,250 seniors

living in York Region — that’s the entire population of Markham today — and they will comprise 21 per cent of the population.

Not only are seniors the fast-est-growing segment of the pop-ulation, but York seniors are living longer than the provincial and national averages, thanks, in part, to the region’s high quality of life.

In Parts l and 2 of our Demen-tia series, we delved into the fact that 747,000 Canadians live with dementia, including Alzheim-er’s. This number is expected to increase to 1.4 million by end of 2031, according to Alzheimer Society of Canada.

Annual costs of dementia will increase from $33 billion today to $293 billion by 2040, says the society, posing an overwhelming threat to the country’s health care system and economy.

That’s why it is pushing for a national dementia strategy to prevent people living with the disease and their caregivers from being pulled into the undertow of this impending wave.

In today’s paper, read a bonus feature, depicting how the disease hits hard at cultural groups, which can feel extra guilt or shame.

Dementia could be called the disease that steals away your golden years. It creates a lonely existence for the caregiver, who must bear the burden of day-to-day life, and for the person with dementia whose increasing confusion can leave him or her housebound and isolated.

Read the full, compelling series with additional content on yorkregion.com: bit.ly/1NWzvq8.

Ask your local federal candi-date and your provincial MPP where he or she stands on a national dementia strategy to deal with this impending health problem.

If policymakers don’t move quickly, it could spell disaster for our societal well-being.

Members of York Region faith communities are determined to make affordable and high quality daycare an election issue.

“Affordable child care is one component of lifting families out of poverty,” said Natalie Doucet, a member of the steering committee of Mosaic Interfaith, made of York residents belonging to the faiths of Christianity, Juda-ism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Zoroastrianism.

“The more we are able, as a society, to help lift families and children out of poverty and help children reach their potential, the better off we all will be as a society.”

Nov. 24, 2014 marked 25 years since the passage of a unanimous all-party resolution in the House of Commons to end child poverty by the year 2000, Doucet, who is also a pasto-ral associate at St. Luke’s Catholic Church in Thornhill, said.

More than 25 years later, the situation is worse at both the national and provincial lev-els, she said.

“Around the same time, we at Mosaic Inter-faith felt that we, as a people of faith, needed to come together and do what all our different faith traditions call us to do, to care for the poor (and) marginalized and not just to care but to act, to be a force for change and to do this together as an interfaith initiative.”

Ten years ago, Canada was moving toward a national child care program, but that was cancelled by the Conservative government in 2006, Carolyn Ferns, public policy and govern-ment relations co-ordinator with the Ontario

Coalition for Better Child Care said.“I didn’t see that we might get the rug swept

out from under us,” she told about two dozen people gathered at a Mosaic meeting on child care at St. Luke’s last Thursday night.

“... With the (Prime Minister Stephen) Harp-er government, the first order of business was to tear up that bilateral agreement (between the federal government and the provinces) and say, ‘We’re going in a different direction’.”

Calling Canada’s existing patchwork of child care methods a silent crisis, she said there are only enough daycare spots for one in five chil-dren and complained Ontario parents face the highest fees in Canada.

Ferns pointed to a campaign called VoteChildCare.ca, which is urging Canadians to vote for a federal government that commits to long-term child care funding and a public, non-profit daycare system families can count on.

She encouraged voters to research the child care platforms of the federal parties.

DearOntarioSecondarySchool Teacher’s

Federation (OSSTF) andschool boards across theprovince:Since Monday, October 6,2015, the front doors andcontrolled entry systemsof Halton’s and Ottawa’spublic English elementaryschools have been turnedoff as part of negotiationstrategies between theunion and the provincialgovernment.City News quotes Jo Dean,an executive officer withthe OSSTF as saying thatthe task of controllingaccess in schools “hasbeen downloaded on [thesecretarial staff] and itjust interrupts the dayconstantly.”The CBC interviewedCindy Dubue, the vicepresident of the OSSTF,who downplayed therisk faced by students bysaying “there are schools

in Ottawa that don’t havebuzzer systems.” She alsoblamed the Ottawa CarltonDistrict School Board fornot finding an alternativeonce the secretarial staffstopped controlling access.And she argued that halfsecurity measures werebetter than a completestoppage of schoolservices.Regardless of the deeplyheld positions at playin the negotiations, Iencourage you to reverseyour decision pertaining tothe safety of the students.Keep schools locked andchildren safe.Everyone knows fromwatching our U.S.neighbours that elementaryschools are vulnerabletargets for the nefarious.And everyone knows thatwhile the prevalence islow, the outcomes arehorrifying.In Ontario, police stations,courthouses and federalParliament have wellcontrolled access. It wasonly October 22, 2014 thatthe nation was shocked bya series of shootings onParliament Hill, and theease with which a gunmanwas able to enter CentreBlock. Schools in Canadahave not been immune toatrocities. The potentialoutcomes to the familiesshould be enough for sucha negotiating tactic to beunthinkable.If that is not enough, thenconsider how the lawwould treat unions andschool boards if the worstcase came to pass? Bothorganizations owe duties tothe children for whom theyare entrusted. That duty isa high one. It is a fiduciaryduty, of utmost good faith.In law, teachers and schoolboards are considered tobe in the position of eachchild’s parent.

Should the worst come topass, it is not an answerto say that some schoolshave buzzers and othersdo not. It is not an answerfor both parties to blamethe other and leave thedoors open. It is not ananswer to suggest that theinconvenience of a staffmember justifies exposingchildren to such harm.The scope of potentialclaimants could be as largeas the entire family ofevery student at the school.After a court strugglesto quantify the loss toeach discrete family andvictim, the court wouldthen consider punitivedamages. These damagestarget not loss, butconduct. The defendant’swrong is considereddirectly and separatelyin order to assess itsseverity and, accordingly,the appropriate degree ofpunishment. The otherforms of damages look tothe loss of the plaintiff,but punitive damages referessentially to the degreeof culpability of thedefendant’s action. Thepunitive damages wouldbe precedent setting.How large? In the seminalcase of Pilot vWhiten, theSupreme Court of Canadaupheld a $1,000,000punitive award against aninsurance company thatalleged its insured was anarsonist,when the evidenceshowed the opposite. Thatwas one family and oneinsurance company, overdamage to a reputation.How much greater wouldthe punitive damages befor the avoidable ruin of acommunity.This is not a case thatsociety ever wants to seehappen.Please, please, reconsider.

Richmond Hill man faces fraud charges in Northern Ontario

By Jeremy Grimaldi [email protected]

A Richmond Hill man, who only a year ago provid-ed repeated denials as to his involvement in a $17-mil-lion fraud involving luxury homes, has been charged in a separate $7.5-million real estate fraud case in Northern Ontario.

Arash Missaghi, 45, was adamant when he was inter-viewed by the Toronto Star in 2014 that not only was he not involved in the alleged scheme, another set of fraud charges dating back to 2006 was all a big mixup.

“This is police. This is their style ... where they see smoke they say ‘Let’s just charge everybody, let the judge decide where it goes’,” he told reporters, adding that the 2006 charges were with-drawn.

And although Missaghi has been charged with a number of crimes, ranging from violence to fraud, he has never been convicted.

In relation to the $17-mil-lion fraud case, highlighted in The Star, he said the amount of money involved was actu-ally $4 million or $5 million.

He went on to imply that he was so wealthy that he didn’t need to defraud people for such a small amount of money, explaining that his family’s network of compa-nies in Canada and overseas is worth about $300 million and it is that wealth that made him into a target.

“I don’t need $4 million or $5 million. My house is (worth) $20 million. I have the largest home in Canada, up north,” he said, referring to a 65,000-square-foot com-pound in Haileybury, Ont., built by forestry mogul Peter Grant.

The home is near the site of the latest alleged fraud, which the OPP say involved the restoration and sale of a vacant commercial property on Lakeshore Road, in Hai-leybury.

Charged alongside Mis-

saghi are four others, with a total of 60 offences.

On Feb. 1, 2013, mem-bers of the OPP’s Temiskam-ing crime unit were called to investigate an alleged fraud.

After the three-year inves-tigation, search warrants were conducted and Missaghi was charged with participating in a criminal organization, six counts of fraud over $5,000 and obtaining by false pre-tence.

Arash Missaghi faces several fraud charges.

FOR REALCHANGE

onMonday, Oct 19th

Authorized by the Official Agent for Majid Jowhari.

He was in custody last week and was set to appear before Haileybury court for a bail hearing Oct. 9.

Missaghi was one of the men fea-tured in news stories surrounding the strange disappearance of law-yer Golnaz Vakili, who was charged alongside him.

Vakili practised law in North York before she was charged in relation to the fraud.

However, one day, the Iranian-Canadian lawyer wrote a number of letters to her husband and the rest of her family before leaving the country in 2013.

In a letter to her husband, she said she would be “safe” in Europe. She said the decision to flee was not because she had something to hide.

Her wedding photo remains on the Interpol website as a suspect wanted by police.

Missaghi continues to face numer-ous civil actions to this day, accord-ing to Doug Bourassa, the lawyer involved in the alleged $17-million fraud.

OPP targets unsafe trucks, drivers failing to stop for school buses

By Lisa [email protected]

The Ontario Provincial Police are boosting their efforts to target unsafe drivers, according to the Aurora detachment.

Tuesday and Wednesday, the OPP participated in Operation Safe Driver 2015 to bring awareness to the unsafe driving habits of transport truck drivers and other motorists operating vehicles around trucks, Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said.

The blitz comes the same month four people died and 16 people were injured in a horrific collision on Hwy. 401 in Whitby, when a transport truck allegedly crashed into traffic after failing to slow down when approaching a construction zone.

Operation Safe Driver was carried out by police forces across North America.

Officers conducted safety inspections of trucks. They also enforced traffic laws and educated all drivers demonstrating risky driving, Schmidt said.

Meanwhile, the Aurora OPP continues to receive complaints about drivers failing to stop for school buses with lights flashing picking up and dropping off children, he said.

Not only is not stopping putting children in danger but, if caught, will cost drivers $490 plus six demerit points upon conviction, Schmidt said.

“Drivers need to be aware as children may run out onto the road without warning. Always be prepared for the unexpected as you approach a stopped school bus,” he said.

If you see a motorist driving dangerously, you can report it, with the licence plate number at http://www.opp.ca/reporting/

Richmond Hill riding candidates want your voteCANADA Decision

2015

One key aspect of Monday’s federal election is riding boundaries have changed. Residents living in Richmond Hill now vote in two sepa-rate ridings — Aurora-Oak Ridges-Richmond Hill (see facing page) and Richmond Hill.

Federal riding boundaries are adjusted every 10 years by independent commissions to reflect changes and movements in Canada’s population, according to the Constitution and the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, Elections Canada notes.

Approximately 87 per cent of ridings will be different on election day.

Across Canada, 30 new ridings were cre-ated in the readjustment; the number of seats

will grow from 308 to 338, with the biggest jump here in Ontario.

Four provinces will have additional seats in the House of Commons:

• Ontario (15 more)• British Columbia (6 more)• Alberta (6 more) • Quebec (3 more).

Advance polls in the Aurora-Oak-Ridges Richmond Hill riding attracted 11,747 of the 78,414 eligible voters — about 15% of eligible voters.

In Richmond Hill riding, 12,477 of 17,859 eligible voters cast their ballot early — about 16% of eligible voters.

Don’t miss theseflyers in today’s

Liberal!

By KIM [email protected]

With just days before the federal election, some residents in the Rich-mond Hill riding are questioning the truthfulness of the local Liberal candidate on his credentials.

Majid Jowhari’s campaign mate-rial has stated that he holds designa-tions as a professional engineer, cer-tified management accountant and certified management consultant, but governing bodies for all three professions say he is not registered with them.

This newspaper has been con-tacted in recent weeks by people

saying they are from the Iranian-Canadian community, concerned about the candidate’s integrity.

Jowhari’s Facebook page says he is an industrial engineer and his website says he obtained a Bachelor of Science in industrial engineer-ing. He describes himself as a “suc-cessful entrepreneur and engineer” and, according to the Richmond Hill Liberal riding Association website, Jowhari holds a P.Eng designation.

But the Professional Engineers Ontario says that is not correct.

Under the Professional Engi-neers Act, you may only use the term “engineer” in your job title if

you hold a P.Eng. licence, which Jowhari does not, according to Ste-phen Haddock, enforcement and advisory officer with the PEO.

The provincial engineering regu-lator fulfils the same role for engi-neers as the College of Physicians and Surgeons or the Law Society of Upper Canada and is responsible for licensing and discipline.

Only holders of a P.Eng. licence can legally use the title “P.Eng.” or the term “engineer” in their job title, and may not use any other term, title or description that may lead to the belief that they are authorized to practise professional engineering.

Perry Jensen, spokesperson for the Chartered Professional Accoun-tants, which includes those with CMA designations, said Jowhari is not a member of that organization.

It is possible that he earned the CMA, Jensen said, “but you can-not use a professional designation unless you are in good standing with the professional organization, which includes paying your dues”.

Mary Blair, managing director of CMC Canada, said Jowhari’s mem-bership was terminated in 2002.

“If you don’t pay the dues, you are not entitled to use the designation.”

Jowhari did not personally respond to requests for comment on the issue, but Russ Powers, Jowhari’s campaign manager, said it is simply a matter of Jowhari not paying the annual dues.

The dues are substantial, he said, and Jowhari was operating in a busi-ness where the professional designa-tion was not required.

“We have proof that he has the education requirements and was ini-tially licensed in those three fields. People are obviously trying to make something of it, but there was noth-ing hidden.”

Pooya Milani of Richmond Hill is disturbed by what he views as “mis-representation” by the candidate. He said he and others in the community – some of whom are Liberal party supporters – have filed complaints to

Elections Canada.“It is a complete fabrication and

highly illegal and unethical,” he said, pointing to Canada’s Election Act which states, “No person shall, with the intention of affecting the results of an election, knowingly make or publish any false statement of fact in relation to the personal character or conduct of a candidate or prospective candidate”.

He insists it’s not a partisan issue, but one of deep concern among those in the Iranian-Canadian community. Jowhari is the first Canadian federal candidate of Iranian heritage.

Milani and others have also raised concerns regarding a bankruptcy in Jowhari’s past, in 1994.

The issue was raised by a member of the audience during the Sept. 29 all-candidates event. Jowhari told attend-ees that he is proud to have turned a failure into success.

He was a silent partner in a small family business that declared bank-ruptcy, he said this week, but has since become a successful entrepreneur.

But some residents question why Jowhari was not more forthcoming on the issues of professional designations and bankruptcy.

“My representative in government needs to be honest and transparent,” Sohaila Khodakhah said.

When asked about the bankruptcy issue, the Liberal Party of Canada con-firmed only that Jowhari is the Liberal Party’s candidate in Richmond Hill.

“Who is monitoring who can become a candidate?” asked Eve Roa. “Can anybody just pretend to be a doctor or registered nurse and become a candidate?”

Questions swirl about professional credentials of Liberal candidate

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolu-tion will bow out of the Canadian market with a limited, Final Edi-tion model that will yield the best performance numbers ever for the iconic sedan since its 2008 launch.

Known between race and rally cognoscenti as “Evo”, the 2015 Lancer Evolution boasts stunning high-performance sports sedan credentials. Now in its tenth and final edition, the Evo goes on sale this month across Canada. Built upon the well-appointed GSR Pre-mium, only 350 units of the Final Edition will be available at an MSRP of $49,498.

To commemorate Evo’s farewell, Mitsubishi is adding these special touches:

Each of the 350 units is assigned • a production serial number plate mounted in the centre console, just forward of the gear shift selectorFinal Edition” animation in the •

multi-information centre displayFinal Edition” badge• Performance is also enhanced

with 303 horsepower (up from 291) and 305 ft/lb of torque (from 300) produced by the 2.0-litre, DOHC turbocharged MIVEC engine, mated to the five-speed manual transmission.

The performance uptick comes courtesy of newly engineered heat reducing, sodium-enclosed exhaust values.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution lives and breathes performance but also superb driving characteristics including Super All-Wheel Con-trol with active centre differential, active yaw control and drive-mode selector, Brembo two-piece front rotors and ventilated disc brakes, race-worthy front Macpherson strut suspension with forged alumi-num control arms, Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks.

Canadians will have their last chance to buy a Mitsubishi “Evo” model as production ends with a 303 hp version called the Final Edition.

The unique 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine in the all-new Focus RS will produce 350 hp – far exceeding original estimates of 315 – along with 350 lb/ft of torque.

And yet even with all that torque, the manual-only hot hatch will be especially forgiving in the event a driver stalls the engine, as Focus RS will debut with a trick feature called stall recovery.

In other words, there will be no need for drivers to manually restart the engine or move the gear selector to neutral as the innova-tive technology simply pushes the clutch back in.

The monster output the Focus RS engine achieves is due to its all-new low-inertia twin-scroll tur-bocharger with a larger compres-sor wheel that delivers more air-flow and power throughout the rev range. Peak turbocharger boost is 23.2 psi.

Backing up this increased out-put is a large intercooler to maxi-mize charge density. Air itself is delivered through a low-restriction intake manifold on the front end with a high-performance exhaust. The system includes an electroni-cally controlled valve that opti-mizes back pressure and exhaust

volume level.Despite the engine’s high out-

put of 152 horsepower per liter, RS engineers tuned this EcoBoost to deliver right off idle all the way on up to a free-spinning 6,800 rpm, with an especially chunky mid-range power delivery.

Focus RS is the latest car to be unveiled as part of a new golden age of Ford Performance.

The plan calls for bringing more than 12 high-performance vehicles to market worldwide through 2020.

Production of Focus RS with 2.3-litre EcoBoost begins later this year.

— Metroland Wheels

Focus RS hot hatch to get 350 horsepower

The unique 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine powering the all-new Focus RS has been certified at 350 hp at 6,000 rpm on way to 6,800 rpm redline.

The arts programs at Alexander Macken-zie High School will host an Arts Information Night Oct. 21, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Rich-mond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts.

The evening will showcase the enriched educational experience offered creative stu-dents from a wide geographic area around Richmond Hill, through Alexander Macken-zie’s specialized arts program.

The York Region District School Board’s specialized arts program is designed for stu-dents passionate about the arts.

While working towards their Ontario Sec-ondary School diploma, students take a min-imum of eight arts credits in their chosen dis-cipline. Grade 8 students may apply to study one of the following Arts Mackenzie disci-plines: dance, music (strings, instrumental, vocal), theatre or visual arts.

“The Arts Mackenzie experience provides a well-rounded, artistic approach to educa-tion,” says Cathy Clarke, head of performing arts. “We are looking for students who are passionate about authentic learning experi-ences to apply for our program. Creativity thrives in the halls of Alexander Mackenzie.”

The program merges hands-on training, technical skills, connections of professional artists, real life arts application activities, and arts specific field trips. Graduating students will be prepared with essential communica-

tion, literacy and critical thinking skills that will allow them to achieve success in any post-secondary field.

Arts Mackenzie accepts students from elementary schools in the central area of the York public board.

Entry into the Grade 9 Arts program is through an application and audition pro-cess.

The Arts Information Night is an opportu-nity for prospective students and their fami-lies to learn more about the Arts Mackenzie program. During this evening, there will be presentations from the faculty, student per-formances, examples from the classroom environment and an opportunity to con-nect with current Arts Mackenzie students. Admission is free; the theatre is located at 10268 Yonge St.

Families interested in the additional pro-grams offered by Alexander Mackenzie High School are welcome to attend a Grade 8 Open House on Oct. 29 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the school.

Students grill ‘friendly’ Richmond Hill riding candidatesBy KIM ZARZOUR

[email protected]

Most all-candidate debates are either bick-ering, or boring, but not this one, say the stu-dents who took part in last week’s event at Jean Vanier Catholic High School.

Students in grades 10, 12 and English as a Second Language classes crowded into the school cafeteria to hear from three federal candidates in the Richmond Hill riding — and what they heard, surprised them.

“I thought there’d be more arguments, but it was really interesting,” said Mahdi Golshan.

“They were so friendly with each other, and spoke on behalf of each other. It wasn’t at all like I expected,” added Sophie Morgan, 16.

They may have attended to learn about politics, but the 400 students also got a lesson in manners and respect for the opposition as, for almost two hours, candidates tackled touchy topics with diplomacy and humour.

“One always hopes for conflict, to keep things interesting,” said teacher Cynthia Bettio, “but for the most part, they answered truthful-ly and what was odd, no one mentioned party leaders. They kept it non-partisan.”

The quality of questions composed by stu-dents in the Grade 10 civics class — dealing with a range of issues, from the Keystone pipeline to Senate scandals to Bill C51 — impressed at least one of the candidates.

“I think we should have come here first, before we did the [chamber of commerce] debate, because these are amazing questions,” said Liberal candidate Majid Jowhari — whose

son attends the school.Some of the most engaged students in

the audience were those who are new to the country or first-generation Canadians whose parents place significant emphasis on the electoral process, said Bettio.

“Many are here because of a government initiative or policy or behaviour in their coun-try caused their families to leave or to send them out as visa students. They understand the impact government has on lives.”

As a way of helping them understand what it is to live in a democracy, the students in the ESL Civics class were given the task of research-ing party platforms and devising questions.

Mahdi, who came to Canada from Iran four years ago with his parents, said the rest of his family has been denied visas. He asked the panel how they would make immigration bet-ter for those from war-torn countries.

It was a topic close-to-the heart for two of the candidates, who are Iranian-Canadian — Jowhari and Conservative Michael Parsa.

Canada’s sanctions against Iran and clo-sure of the Iranian embassy impact ex-pats here and those living in that country, Jowhari said. The Liberal party hopes to open channels of communication, but that doesn’t mean they support what the regime is doing, he said.

“Human rights is an issue in Iran and that needs to be addressed, but if we’re not at the table and talking about it, we’re not going to be able to influence it.”

Parsa agreed the closure of the embassy created some difficulties for Iranians in Can-ada, seniors and student in particular. He said

he spoke with federal government represen-tatives and is pleased that now the Omani embassy will represent Iran in Canada.

Canada remains welcoming to newcom-ers, he said. Under the Conservative govern-ment, 20 per cent more immigrants came to Canada and immigration from Iran increased 44 per cent, with a 221 per cent increase in refugees from Iran. But, he added, changes to the immigration system ensure dishonest agents will no longer succeed.

Candidate Adam DeVita said the NDP is planning on creating an appeals process for both refugees and immigrants to ensure the process is fair and faster.

“We will also rebuild diplomatic relations with Iran over time, because if you are not talk-ing to them, they are not listening to you.”

Another question, asking Parsa how he’d respond to charges the Conservatives are rac-ist based on their Barbaric Cultural Practices tipline, elicited nervous giggles from the mul-ticultural audience, but Parsa took it in stride.

“We have the most diverse members of par-liament, members of caucus of any party. I am an immigrant and I’m running for the Conser-vative party,” he said, adding while he supports religious freedom, he does not support any religious practice that oppresses women.

Sophie, in Grade 11, was impressed with the way the politicians dealt with the sensitive “Barbaric Practices” topic and how they tai-lored all their answers to a younger audience.

“Teenagers have a lot of strong opinions. We care. It’s a matter of being heard and being taken seriously.”

Jean Vanier student Mahdi Golshan, 14, poses a question to the three candidates.

A second annual igniteFAIR in Richmond Hill will connect young volunteers with non-profit organizations.

About 40 non-profits and charities will participate in the fair at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts this Saturday, Oct. 17.

It is expected that hundreds of students from across the Greater Toronto Area will come to connect with volunteer groups from York Region and across the GTA, including York Regional Police and the Canadian Men-tal Health Association.

Organizations will be sharing information about what they do, while providing volun-teer opportunities to those who are interested in giving back to their communities.

All funds raised from igniteFAIR, present-ed in partnership with the Town of Rich-mond Hill, will be donated back to Pledges for Change to support the organization’s future initiatives and programming.

The event runs from noon to 4 p.m. and will showcase an impressive lineup of talent at the event’s opening ceremony, including local talent such as The Riffs, and speakers known both locally and internationally for their work, including Canada’s Top 20 Under 20 recipient Wali Shah.

“I believe that the youth of my generation have the power to positively change our world right now,” said 17-year-old Brennan Wong,

founder and executive director of Pledges for Change.

“It is up to us to ensure that our youth feel empowered to take action and realize that they can positively contribute to our com-munities — by providing the resources and opportunities to connect with volunteer orga-nizations, we’re hoping to inspire hundreds of other youth to volunteer.”

Founded in 2013 by Canada’s Top 20 Under 20 recipient Wong when he was just 15, Pledg-es for Change is a youth-led, non-profit orga-nization and movement that aims to engage and empower people of all ages, but espe-cially youth, across Canada and around the world to become leaders of tomorrow.

With the support of generous donors and corporate sponsors, Pledges for Change calls for people to take one action on a local or global cause it features once every two months. For each pledge to action made on its website, a dollar is donated to a registered charity in support of the featured cause.

In the past year, Pledges for Change has encouraged thousands of people to take action and has raised more than $20,000 to match the pledges of support to nine dif-ferent charities. Collectively, these pledgers have donated 24,000 hours of time back to their communities through the actions they have taken.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Enjoy Still Standing Comedy Show and help Kerry’s Place

If you love a good laugh, you’ll enjoy the Still Standing Comedy Show in support of Kerry’s Place Autism Services, heading to the Rich-mond Hill theatre this Saturday.

Produced by Creative Ideals Entertainment, the show features stand-up comedians Brian Francis, Kyle Lucey, Chris Robinson and host Ernie Vicente.

Kerry’s Place, with three York Region cen-tres, enhances the quality of life of people with autism spectrum disorder, fundraising co-ordi-nator Jennifer Rightmyer explained.

The agency is the largest provider of sup-ports and services in Canada and connected with more than 8,000 families last year alone.

“We are very pleased to be the charity of choice for the Still Standing Comedy Show,” Rightmyer said. “With the prevalence rate of ASD, now 1 in 68, the need for our services and supports is growing rapidly.”

The comedians take their role in supporting the work of Kerry’s Place seriously.

“Partnering with this wonderful charitable organization has been an organic and reward-ing process for me,” said Francis. “With the Still Standing Comedy Show being so well-received in the past, making it happen again in support of ASD was a must for us.”

The laughs take place at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, 10268 Yonge St., Richmond Hill, Saturday, Oct. 17, from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. Doors open at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $18 in advance and $29 at the door. Kerry’s Place receives 50 per cent of the event proceeds. For tickets, call Erin Cudmore at 416-591-5461 or e-mail erin@zenergycom.

York Symphony pays tribute to Sibelius in Richmond HillTo open its 2015/2016 season,

York Symphony Orchestra is cel-ebrating the sesquicentennial of composer Jean Sibelius. Its next pair of concerts on Oct. 24 and 25 in Aurora and Richmond Hill, will feature music by the beloved Finnish composer, guest con-ducted by a celebrated Canadian fan and lecturer on Sibelius.

Toronto-born Michael Roháč studied conducting at the Uni-versity of Toronto under Raffi Armenian. Among his early engagements as a conductor were apprenticeship positions with the Mississauga Symphony and Mississauga Youth Orchestra. Upon completing his conduct-ing studies in 2001, Roháč moved

to the Czech Republic, where he has built a successful career that includes directorship of the West Bohemian Symphony, as well as guest and studio work with many other ensembles, including the world-class Czech Radio Sym-phony Orchestra in Prague.

Roháč is the founder and administrator of the Sibelius Forum (sibelius.forumup.com) and has participated and lectured at many international Sibelius events. His writings on Sibel-ius are regularly published in the United Kingdom Sibelius Soci-ety’s quarterly journal.

He will lead the York Sym-phony orchestra in two of the composer’s best-loved works:

the Symphony #2 and the stirring tone poem, Finlandia.

In addition, the orchestra will welcome back a favourite guest artist, cellist Andrew Ascenzo.

A native of York Region, Ascenzo is currently completing his doctorate of musical arts at the University of Toronto, study-ing with Shauna Rolston. He has also studied privately with David Hetherington, and has also studied jazz and general impro-visation with Matt Brubeck. He has attended the Banff Summer Music program and has studied with some of the great cello mas-ters.

Ascenzo will play Haydn’s Cello Concerto #1, a staple of the

cello repertoire, under the direc-tion of Maestro Roháč.

The concerts are Saturday, Oct. 24 at 8 p.m. at Trinity Anglican Church, 79 Victoria St. in Aurora, and Sunday, Oct. 25 at 3 p.m. at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts.

Tickets for the Aurora Oct. 24 concert may be purchased by calling 416-410-0860 ($28 adult; $23 senior; $15 student).

For the Oct. 25 matinee in Richmond Hill ($30 adult, $25 senior; $15 student), call the the-atre box office at 905-787-8811 or go online at www.rhcentre.ca.

Tickets are available at the door of both venues. For more, visit www.yorksymphony.ca

Next week, the Richmond Hill Philharmonic Orches-tra launches its eighth concert season with Classic Gems. The Oct. 23 concert will be held at 8 p.m. at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts,

The first concert in the orchestra’s five concert sea-son features a variety of orchestral masterpieces. Clas-sic Gems features selected movements from signifi-cant symphonies of Haydn, Mozart, Brahms, Berlioz, Beethoven, Mahler, Tchaikovsky and Dvorak.

“The symphonic orchestra and its music has been a part of the fabric of life for centuries,” said Dr. Jessica V. Kun, artistic director and conductor of the orchestra. “Classic Gems features selected movements from some

of the greatest symphonic works, by some of the great-est composers who took orchestral music to new levels. Join us on a musical journey through time.”

After Classic Gems, the season continues with clas-sical holiday favourites merging with a theatrical twist in December’s Holiday Spectacular on the Hill.

The Richmond Hill Philharmonic Orchestra is com-prised of professional, amateur and talented university and high school student musicians.

Tickets for the Oct. 23 Classic Gems are $29 for adults, $23 for seniors and $7 for children aged 12 and under (accompanied by an adult). For more details, visit www.rhpo.ca

SHORTS ON

SPORTSEric Byun of Richmond

Green Secondary School claimed top individual honours at the York Region Athletic Association senior boys’ golf championships at Cardinal Golf Club’s Red Crest Course near Kettleby Oct. 7.

Through 18 holes of reg-ulation play, Byun and Alex-ander Crosby of St. Augus-tine Catholic High School (Markham) finished in a tie at four-over 75.

With the two players forced to play extra holes to determine a winner, Byun won the championship on the third playoff hole.

Byun and Crosby though, will represent the YRAA at the upcoming Ontario Fed-eration of School Athletic Associations championships to be held in Windsor this week (Oct. 14 and 15).

In the team competi-tion, St. Maximilian Kolbe claimed top honours with a combined score of 244, while Father Bressani Cath-olic High School played to second place with 249 and Tanenbaum CHAT Kimel third at 255.

Local golfers play for Ontario squad

Several York Region young-sters will be representing Ontario on the fairways next season, as the Golf Association of Ontario recently unveiled their 12-member Team Ontar-io squad.

With seven boys and five girls on the team, two return-ing York Region participants include Thornhill resident Jason Chung, 16, and Rich-mond Hill resident Monet Chun, 14.

Among those new to the team include Markham resi-dent Hailey McLaughlin, 14, and Maple resident Alyssa DiMarcantonio, 12.

The team assembled in full for the first time earlier this month at Foot’s Bay for their kickoff camp held at OviinB-yrd Golf Club.

The team is set for a full winter of training, which

will include two camps in Florida, along with a camp and Can-AM matches dur-ing March Break in South Carolina.

Camps will all lead up to the start of the 2016 season, which will begin with the Team Ontario Cup in late April.

Lightning open season Saturday

The Richmond Hill Lightning are scheduled to open their 2015-16 National Ringette League regular sea-son this weekend with three road games.

Skating off with their first-ever silver medal from last year’s national champi-onships, the Lightning are scheduled to play the Ottawa Ice at Carleton University Saturday at noon.

Later that day, the Light-ning will travel across the provincial border to face the Gatineau Fusion for a 6 p.m. tilt.

The following day, the Lightning will return to Ontario to play the Glouces-ter Devils at 11 a.m.

he extraordinary life of Kazimierz Chomko ended Oct. 3 at age 103. His lega-cy, however, lives on.

The Richmond Hill resident’s interesting and eclectic life began in Poland. By age 12 he left home to keep accounts for his aunt, who ran a cafe in Czerna Bia-lystock, in the east of Poland. Kaz, as his friends knew him, became a police officer. When the Second World War broke out, he served as a tank troop commander with the Canadian Army, where he made a pact with his men to kill no one, but only take prisoners.

Twice during the war, he was captured and escaped.

Anna Carling’s book about Kaz’s war years, titled Drop Your Weap-ons — the Kaz Chomko Story, was published in 2011, for Kaz’s 100th birthday. Not wanting to return to a communist Poland after the war, Kaz immigrated to Canada, where he first worked near Richmond Hill as a farm labourer.

Later, he sold life insurance to loggers in Northern Ontario. It was during that time he met his wife, Doris, who was teaching in Tim-mins. In the early 1950s, the family moved to a small farm near Lake Ontario between Whitby and Ajax, where he grew strawberries and raspberries and later raised pigs. A

Chomko embodied genuine spirit of civic hero

skilled carpenter, he built a house, barn and garage for the family, all of which stand today.

In 1967, when a fall and injury meant he could no longer con-tinue farming, the family moved to Oshawa, where Kaz sold real estate. He decided to retire and devote himself to helping run the St. Vin-cent de Paul’s Marygrove Camp for

disadvantaged girls. Later, Doris also retired and joined him at Marygrove in Penetanguishene.

It was during this time when the Toronto Archdiocese started a program to train lay deacons. Doris encouraged Kaz to participate and helped him with his studies and homework. He was then about 65. After Kaz graduated, he and his

wife moved around a lot, doing missionary work in the Caribbean and British Columbia, before set-tling down in Ontario.

Eventually, in 1991, they moved to Hesperus, an elder community near Richmond Hill, where Kaz lived until his death. Doris died in 2006.

When the Second World

War broke, out he served

as a tank troop

commander with the

Canadian Army, where

he made a pact with his

men to kill no one, but

only take prisoners.

In 2014, the Civic Hero Award for Ward 4 was presented to Kaz by Vaughan council. He was rec-ognized for his leadership, peace-making and community volunteer-ism during his time as a soldier in the Polish Army, under the Cana-dian flag, and his years serving as a deacon and community volunteer.

“Kazimierz Chomko is an indi-vidual that truly embodies the gra-cious character and genuine spirit

of a civic hero, and we are very for-tunate for the contributions he has made to the Vaughan community,” Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua said. “Mr. Chomko has taken the story of his life as a soldier, deacon and community volunteer and trans-formed it into a message of peace and hope that inspires us and enhances our sense of civic pride.”

“Mr. Chomko is a true ambas-sador for peace and he is wonder-ful example of volunteerism,” said Ward 4 Councillor Sandra Yeung Racco, who nominated him for the award. “He is dedicated to improving the community by help-ing students develop their literacy skills and he uses his message of peace to motivate others to remain actively involved in civic life.”

The award is presented annu-ally to one resident from each of Vaughan’s five wards. The awards recognize outstanding achieve-ment and individual contributions to the community.

Kaz is survived by his two sons, Richard and Robert, and by their wives, Elisabeth and Lisa, and their children, Sylvia, Erik, Jona-than, Katrina, Sarah, Dominic and Theresa, and great-grandchildren Rebecca and Jessica.

Kaz’s funeral was Oct. 7 at St. Mary Immaculate Church in Rich-mond Hill and his body was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery, next to that of Doris.
