PUBLIC WORKS CHALLENGE Councillors spar over ‘insulting’ village projectBy KIM ZARZOUR
Two local councillors were at loggerheads with the rest of council this week over how to proceed with controversial plans for the village core.
Robert Salna Holdings and Pennytech Inc. propose to build an eight-storey, mixed use resi-dential/commercial structure on the east side of Yonge between Centre and Dunlop streets.
Town staff, however, recommended a vari-ety of changes to make the proposal fit better with the unique heritage characteristics of the downtown core.
In January, the developer filed an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board.
But at Monday’s council meeting, Ward 2 Councillor Tom Muench, supported by Ward
1 Councillor Greg Beros, appealed to fellow councillors to continue negotiating with the developer.
A strained, hour-long debate ensued, as Muench argued it was “grossly unfair” that, just because the developer filed an OMB appeal, the town wouldn’t work with him to negotiate a settlement.
While discussions can continue through mediation, the town’s CAO Neil Garbe said, the negotiation process has been “hijacked” now that developer has gone to directly to the pro-
vincial OMB. The properties in question — located in
Muench’s ward at 10217 and 10225 Yonge St. — hold buildings listed in the town’s Inven-tory of Buildings of Architectural and Historical Importance.
In September 2014, Salna Holdings submit-ted a zoning bylaw amendment application to the town, seeking approval to permit a 72,000 square-foot building with 81 units.
It would be an appropriate and much-need-ed kickstart for revitalization in the village core and mirrors the height of the Tridel condo to the south, the developer’s planner, Michael Manett, told council Monday night.
But council and residents have identified a lengthy list of concerns surrounding the Salna

Bail hearing continues for man charged in Cellucci murder
A bail hearing continued Tuesday in the Newmarket courthouse for Richmond Hill’s Nick Bagherzadeh, charged with stabbing another Richmond Hill man.
Gianluca Cellucci, 22, was stabbed outside Luxy Nightclub in Vaughan during a fight in the early hours of Feb. 7.
A man from Aurora was also stabbed, but he survived.
Bagherzadeh, 20, was charged with second degree murder and attempted murder.
On Tuesday almost 50 sup-porters were at Newmarket court to show solidarity in Cel-lucci’s memory.
His mother, Joanna Liokossis, father Carmelo Cellucci, and sis-ter Francesca Cellucci, were all present at the hearing, overseen by Justice Michelle Fuerst.
There were far fewer sup-porters there for Bagherzadeh. A number of those supporters were attempting to ensure his bail and act as sureties during his upcoming trial.
The hearing will contin-ue June 6 at 2 p.m. when it is expected to conclude.
Fuerst is expected to hand down her decision on bail at a later date.

Memorial held for Cellucci at St. TheresaBY TIM KELLY
As her tears flowed, a stabbing victim’s mother told a sobbing crowd of the pain and suffering she’s gone through since that fateful day just three months ago when her beloved son was struck down.
“I crave his presence and his hugs. He’s always watching over his father, sister and I, and I will see him again one day. Unfortunately, that is no comfort for me right now,” Joanna Liokossis said of 22-year-old Gianluca Cellucci, killed Feb. 7 in a Vaughan parking lot.
About 150 family and friends met at Cellucci’s alma mater, St. Theresa of Lisieux Catholic High School in Richmond Hill, Thursday evening for a memorial service to remember the
young man. They told stories, remi-nisced and watched a slide show and brief movie in the school library.
Cellucci’s photograph was also added to the school’s Remembrance Wall, which is a memorial to stu-dents who have died.
“Gianluca touched so many lives in his very short time with us,” said Liokossis.
She talked about his dream of becoming a police officer and detec-tive with the York Regional Police force but said she really believed he would make a great prime minister. “The first Italian prime minister,” she said in one of few moments of levity.
“I do have one wish ... continue to speak about Gianluca, tell stories, so that his memory and spirit will be alive.”

Two fires keep crews busy on long weekend
BY TErEsa [email protected]
One person was left seriously injured following a commercial fire in Richmond Hill.
Richmond Hill Fire and Emer-gency Services, York Regional Police and EMS were called to the scene of a Monday afternoon fire on Red Maple Road in the Yonge Street and 16th Avenue. A fire was reported at Edward’s Automobile Services at 375 Red Maple Rd.
When emergency crews arrived, plumes of smoke were spewing from the building. As a result, police urged local residents to remain indoors.
“The fire has been contained and fire services are working on hot spots now,” YRP Duty Officer Gary Miner said. “We don’t yet know when the road will be re-opened, but we are asking residents to steer clear of the area.”
He confirmed that a 34-year-old male was transported to the hospital and was being treated for severe burns. While York police isn’t releasing his name, Miner also confirmed the man’s father was contacted to be with his son.
It is believed that only one per-
son was in the building at the time the fire started.
The road was closed, but a crowd began to gather on the over-pass on 16th Avenue where there was a clear view of what was hap-pening down below.
A local shop owner who owns the building two doors down had no words as he silently watched the fire crews extinguish the flames with water cranes.
“This is just awful,” he muttered to himself.
The Ontario Fire Marshal was called in to investigate the origin of the fire and determine how much damage the fire has caused.
On Saturday, fire crews respond-ed to a house fire on Elmsley Drive in the 16th Avenue and Bayview area at about 6 p.m.
The fire is believed to have started behind the wall between the first and second floor of the house.
Five fire trucks and 20 firefight-ers were able to get the blaze under control quickly, but the estimated damage is pegged at $200,000.
YRP confirmed the Fire Marshal will not investigate and the fire has been deemed not suspicious.

Youth fun run kicks off Mill Pond SplashBY KIM ZARZOUR
Kids who run, kids who love nature, and those who love both will be gathering June 5 at the Mill Pond for the first fun run to help Canada’s endangered species.
The event, which kicks off this year’s Mill Pond Splash, was orga-nized by two students who wanted to put their passions to good pur-pose.
Jasmine de Pencier and Jett Jardeleza-Toole, both aged 11, decided they wanted to help ani-mals by raising money for the World Wildlife Fund. Avid runners and members of track and cross-country teams, the Toronto duo organized their first fun run for kids at Withrow Park last year.
“We were really proud to have raised $7,000. It felt so amazing to be part of something that’s such a great cause,” said Jett.
“The animals need us and we need them too,” Jasmine added.
This year, the girls are expand-ing the event to seven more com-munities across Canada, including Richmond Hill, at the town’s annual Mill Pond Splash.
Tania Jones is a Richmond Hill mother of two, track and cross-country coach and world-class marathon runner who decided to help out.
“It fits with what I believe in
— getting kids active and moving in their neighbourhood. I’m hop-ing this will encourage people to look at environments that are spe-cial, like the Mill Pond, and con-nect kids with that space. I think that will lead to appreciation, and more care.”
With an expected 200 partici-pants, the event shouldn’t impact the ecologically sensitive watershed area, Jones said, “but it will help bring it to life for people and get them deeper into the pond park”.
The event is intended to be fun, she said. Participants won’t be timed and parents can join in, too.
Registration takes place at 8 a.m. in the north end of the park or via the website kidsrunfornature.ca.
The run begins at 9 a.m., pre-ceded by a fun warm-up, and ends with T-shirt giveaways and celebra-tions with snacks and music.
“The warm-up’s dancing to music. That’s my favourite part,” Jasmine said.
The kids run will feature one-km and five-km options and take place in the upper Mill Pond area. It is expected to wrap up at 10 a.m., followed by 11 a.m. opening cer-emonies for the Mill Pond Splash.
The Mill Pond Splash is an annual, family-oriented eco festival in celebration of the Don water-shed. It is coordinated by a range of people and organizations includ-ing the Town of Richmond Hill, the
Kids Run for Nature, The Living City Foundation, and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.
This year, in addition to the kids run, four different shows will fea-ture wildlife and reptiles, a variety of nature-inspired activities, a per-formance by the Envirodrum band using recycled products, and an invasive species “pull”.
“There are lots of invasive spe-cies in the park, especially garlic mustard,” said Kate Goodale, coor-dinator with the Don and Highland Watershed with the Conservation Authority.
“It’s amazing what a difference you can make when a lot of people all take part pulling [out weeds] — you get garbage bags full. It’s really productive.
“Last year, we had 3,000 visitors. It was phenomenal and we’ve got fingers crossed it will be nice again this year,” Goodale said, “but it goes ahead, rain or shine.”
Tania said her family is looking forward to joining in, regardless of weather.
“Even if it’s rainy day, the Mill Pond is a beautiful space.”

Richmond Hill resident Marie Taurasi’s upcoming charity event will honour two people who helped her most in her fight against col-orectal cancer.
The June 4 Blue to New dinner/dance fundraiser for the Colorec-tal Cancer Association of Canada will honour Taurasi’s surgeon, Dr. Shady Ashamalla. The other hon-ouree is Filomena Servidio-Italia-no, director of education and clini-cal information for the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada, who also oversees its national Cancer Coach Program.
Taurasi calls her an “angel”.Taurasi remembers how scared
and worried she felt when diag-nosed in January 2015.
“All I could think of was the heartache my husband and two children were feeling and what also went through my head at the time was ‘what is going to hap-pen to me?’ My life and world as I had known it were shattered. This could not be happening to me … cancer?” she described via e-mail of the initial diagnosis shock.
When Taurasi contacted Ser-vidio-Italiano, she put Taurasi in contact with Dr. Ashamalla at Sun-nybrook Health Sciences Centre’s Odette Cancer Centre.
“I am where I am today because she connected me to the best oncologist at the time for colorectal cancer,” Taurasi said.
Servidio-Italiano educates can-cer patients on diseases, medica-tions, treatments and other infor-mation, Taurasi said.
“She steers us and helps us get to the best possible treatment for our diseases,” Taurasi said.
“From the moment we spoke, I knew I was in the best hands pos-sible,” Taurasi said. “She calmed me down and educated me on my disease, which I knew noth-ing about. I had heard very little about colorectal cancer and never truly understood it. She changed all that,” Taurasi said.
Similarly, when Taurasi met Dr. Ashamalla, just talking to him, she knew everything was going to be okay.
“He is the kind of doc-tor who goes beyond the boundaries for his patients … he truly is an amazing doc-tor,” she said.
T a u r a s i had radiation and chemo-
therapy for her colorectal cancer in March 2015.
Colorectal cancer starts in the colon or rectum. The colon and the rectum are parts of the large intestine, which is the lower part of the body’s digestive system. During digestion, food moves through the stomach and small intestine into the colon.
It is estimated more than 25,000 Canadians this year will be diag-nosed with colorectal cancer, and sadly, 9,000 will die from the dis-ease in 2016.
Both the medical community and survivors feel it is very impor-tant to raise awareness and educate the public, as it is 90 per cent cur-able if caught in the early stages.
“I was scared and worried. He (Dr. Ashamalla) made me feel re-assured that everything was going to be alright,” she said.
After Taurasi told people she wanted to honour Dr. Ashamalla, there was a long line of patients who also wanted to talk about him and honour him, Taurasi said.
“He goes beyond what a nor-mal doctor would do. He just took care of me,” Taurasi said. “There should be more doctors like him. He should be recognized.”

Wider tennis group not consultedRe: David Hamilton Park, arena to see $27M ‘four sea-sons’ overhaul, May 12.
I was somewhat taken aback by this article, which indicated there was a lengthy public consultation process.
As president of the Rich-mond Hill Lawn Tennis Club and the nascent Richmond Hill Tennis Association, one would have thought that a project of this size and mag-nitude should have involved much wider public consulta-tion rather than being limited to 1,200 nearby residents.
How does the Town of Richmond Hill identify and communicate with the tennis playing community if they do not include the town’s only community tennis club in the consultation process?
We do represent a sig-nificant portion of the tennis playing community in town and we could easily have con-tributed suggestions/ideas that would result in consider-able savings to taxpayers.
There are only two six-court tennis facilities in Richmond Hill: Crosby Park, home to the Richmond Hill
SEND A LETTER:

Lawn Tennis Club, and the six courts located in the park under redevelopment, David Hamilton Park.
Given the needs identi-fied in the 2013 Parks and Recreation Master Plan, we are bewildered as to why we were excluded from the pro-cess and the only consulta-tion that took place was with the private for-profit opera-tor of the winter bubble on Blackmore Avenue.
Had we been invited to participate, we would have recommended expansion of the six courts to eight courts; perhaps we could have even paid for it.
It is well known amongst the tennis playing commu-nity that the courts at David Hamilton Park are busy dur-ing prime-time summer hours and the Blackmore winter bubble has had to cap membership in prior years.
Given the demand and lack of competition, many of our members have, for years, expressed concerns about court availability and afford-ability.
We need a new approach to provision of tennis courts/facilities — one that is collab-orative and meets the needs of all stakeholders. Popu-
lation-based metrics and municipal comparisons are too simplistic and fraught with errors.
We hope the much-de-layed “tennis strategy” report and upcoming public con-sultation meeting addresses the issues and concerns of tennis players in Richmond Hill — something the rede-velopment of David Hamil-ton and Morgan Boyle parks neglected to do.
We look forward to par-ticipating in the public con-sultation meeting and invite all residents to join us on June 15, 2016, at the Elgin West Community Centre.

Concern grows for rising risk of Lyme disease in York
here are so many health concerns to worry about that it may be tempting to ignore or downplay fears of Lyme disease.
After all, news coverage with photographs of newborns with tiny heads in South America make us fear the Zika virus, especial-ly with experts predicting it will make inroads in Florida and many southern states in the U.S. where many snowbirds spend their vaca-tions.
Yet Lyme disease is here — now — and has been called the “fastest growing infectious disease in Can-ada”. One researcher predicts that 80 per cent of the population in eastern and central Canada would be at risk of Lyme disease by 2020 because of climate change.
Markham Stouffville MP, Dr. Jane Philpott, our minister of health, kicked off a national con-ference last week in Ottawa on developing a federal framework on Lyme disease — a national strategy to better prevent, diag-nose and treat the disease.
Sadly — and frighteningly — infected ticks that carry this debili-tating, multi-symptom disease are here now, in York Region forests, parks and even private yards.
How do we know this? Veterinarians in Aurora and
other municipalities are finding infected ticks on pets.
A Richmond Hill naturopath who specializes in helping patients with lyme disease is seeing an ever-growing number of people desperate for diagnosis and treat-ment.
Stories posted to our website, such as heartbreaking features on a Thornhill woman who is con-vinced she picked up the disease from her own back garden, and another young student from Rich-mond Hill who started a blog to help others cope with symptoms, get huge reaction and “hits” — as did a story just a few weeks ago about an Aurora vet sounding the alarm.
Nationally, 100 Lyme sufferers presented their own personal sto-ries at the Federal Framework on
Lyme Disease conference.They highlighted maddening
battles to get diagnosed, or frustrat-ing negative diagnoses by doctors in Canada. Many Lyme patients feel like “lepers” or say they are “ridiculed” by doctors who say their symptoms are all imagined.
They told stories about how they couldn’t hold down a job or even leave the house because of symptoms that are debilitating or that sometimes mimic diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis.
In York Region, we can take some comfort that regional health authorities are presenting a much stronger awareness campaign for residents under the ‘Fight the Bite’ theme.
But some local experts say the region’s statement that there were “seven reported cases of Lyme dis-ease in 2015 ... and all were found to be travel related” gives people enjoying our parks and forests a false sense of security.
Those who take the trouble to read and follow the links for Lyme disease on the Region of York web-site will see that anyone who finds and removes a tick is encouraged to bring it to a public health office in Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill or Newmarket for testing. (Go to york.ca and click the links for ‘health’ and then ‘lyme disease’.)
We all want to enjoy the great outdoors this spring and summer, but we all need to do so safely.
An active regional Lyme group meets each month in York Region to share information and hear from experts; you can find the York North Lyme Group on Facebook or email [email protected].

Providing the compassionate &professional services the Community deserves!
Our community filled with activity this time of yearhe month of May means that sum-mer is quickly approaching and the school year will soon be
ending. I enjoy this time of the
year because our com-munity is always filled with activity and I get to see so many of you when I am out and about.
I participated in quite a few community events this month and I wanted to share some of these high-lights with you.
On May 3, I participated in the official opening of Fred Varley Public School in Markham.
I’d like to thank Principal Lori Hall for inviting me to such a wonderful event.
I’m pleased that our government helped make this special day possible by investing more than $12 million in the construction of this new school.
As we have about two million students in our pub-licly-funded schools across the province, it is important
for these students to have space and equipment for them to learn and grow.
In fact, the Government of Ontario is providing school boards across the province with more than $11 billion over 10 years — to help build new schools in areas of high growth (like ours!), improve the condi-tion of existing schools, and invest in projects to con-solidate space where that’s appropriate.
Since 2003 funding for schools in our community of Oak Ridges – Markham has increased by $1.1 bil-lion, which represents an
increase of 97 per cent, and we have built, retrofitted, consolidated and expanded more than 30 schools.
That evening, I also had the pleasure of attending and speaking at the “Fash-ionAble Gala” hosted by Par-ticipation House, Markham, in support of there “Let’s Build a Van Campaign.”
The gala was an extra special event for me as I was able to attend in my capac-ity as both local MPP and Minister of Community and Social Services.
I was particularly delight-ed to see the generosity of so many individuals and local community businesses sup-porting such a great cause.
I would like to thank Frances Di Carlo, the execu-tive director of Participa-tion House, Markham, for inviting me to share in this wonderful event and event chair Jean – Ann Dodge for spearheading the occasion.
For the past 30 years, the Canadian Mar Thoma Church in Markham has played an important role in our community, making
MPP Helena Jaczek
Oak Ridges-Markham
positive contributions and being an important part of our multi-cultural mosaic.
On May 7, I was hon-oured to attend the official cornerstone laying for the new Canadian Mar Thoma Church in Stouffville.
I would like to thank Most Rev. Dr. Joseph Mar Thoma, the Metropolitan of the Mar Thoma Church for coming from Kerala, India, to officiate the ceremony and Reverend Shibu Samuel and Matthew Varughese for
inviting me to attend. As always, if you require
assistance with any provin-cial matter feel free to call or email my office at 905-294-4931 or [email protected].

New Lake Wilcox Park will be geared especially to youthWe’re proud of the incredible
parks system in Richmond Hill. With more than 170 parks and 120 km of trails, there’s a wide vari-ety of recreational opportunities for everyone and it’s only getting better.
We’re planning to create a unique space for youth at Lake Wilcox Park and as the kids say, it’s “gonna be sick”!
Designed specifically for youth ages 13 to 19, the park is expected to include a lit concrete skatepark,
four lit beach volleyball courts, two lit multi-use courts for basket-
ball, soccer and ball hockey, a net climber, shade structure, youth-oriented fitness equipment, wifi access and more.
Construction is expected to begin in 2017.
It’s important that we build spaces that draw young people in. They are important members of the community, with unique needs. We must create safe and fun places they want to spend time either playing sports or hanging out with friends.
We’ve spent the last few months gathering feedback from the com-munity about what the new park should look and feel like. Through drop-in sessions, public design workshops and an online survey, we heard from 350 people, includ-ing skaters, youth and their par-ents, local community members and our Youth Action Committee.
The proposed concept design for the park will be presented at a public open house on Thursday, June 9 at Oak Ridges Community
Centre from 6 to 8 p.m. Youth of Richmond Hill, we
want to know what you think. Everyone is invited to come out and share your thoughts with us.
If you can’t attend the open house, you’ll still have the oppor-tunity to comment, as we will post the proposed design on our web-site after the meeting.

Well known mental health advo-cate Susan Inman will be the key-note speaker in the next Home on the Hill Lecture Series presentation in Richmond Hill.
Inman, a writer and parent, will focus on the different needs experi-enced by a family coping with men-tal illnesses, and why many families do not have what they need.
The presentation — What Fami-lies Need from the Mental Health System — will be introduced by Dr. Ivan Silver of the Centre for Addic-tion and Mental Health (CAMH), and will offer strategies on how families and the community can work together to improve mental health services.
Inman’s book, After Her Brain Broke, Helping my Daughter Recover
Her Sanity, which describes caring for a struggling family member, has helped cre-ate awareness of mental illnesses, as have many of her articles for Huffington Post Canada.
Her book has been recom-mended by the Mental Health
Commission of Canada, and fur-ther praised by many organizations advocating for individuals and families coping with mental health issues.
Richmond Hill-based Home on
the Hill Supportive Housing works to provide supportive housing in York Region to persons living with mental illnesses. Other speakers will be presented in the lecture series, offered by the not-for-profit corporation.
Inman’s lecture will be offered Monday, June 20 at the plaza suite inside the Richmond Hill Centre for Performing Arts, located at 10268 Yonge St., a larger venue than previous lectures.
For further information and to
register, contact Kathy Mochanacki at [email protected]

His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, on behalf of Prince’s Chari-ties Canada and WE Day, kick-started a new annual awards program last fall to honour e x c e p t i o n a l young Canadians.
The Prince’s Youth Service Awards celebrate local engagement and youth who are taking positive actions in the global community.
Last week, the four award recipi-ents from four categories of hon-our were officially announced and a Richmond Hill social activist is among them.
The awards recognize the unique achievements of each winner, includ-ing Local Community Development, Global Action, Social Entrepreneur-ship, and Sustainability.
Brennan Wong, 18, from Rich-mond Hill earned the Social Innova-tors award for his use of innovative solutions to tackle social problems.
In 2013, Wong founded Pledges for Change, an organization empow-ering young people to step up and pledge to take action and create change around the world.
Pledges of Change is a youth-run, non-profit that inspires people to offer one suggestion in support of a local or global issue, and act upon it in the future. His efforts in his own website has formed an online com-munity where youth worldwide can take their pledge, share experiences, and create awareness of issues with peers.
Wong is constantly involved in his community, completing over 2,600 volunteer hours in 2014, and raising more than $75,000 to help young people, seniors, families, and the dis-advantaged.
No stranger to awards, Wong earned a top volunteer award from the Town of Richmond Hill in 2013, and a York Region Character Com-munity award in 2014.
Wong and the three other winners will officially receive their awards at We Day Toronto on Oct. 19 at the Air Canada Centre.
The new Prince’s Youth Service Awards is sponsored by RBC, and youth between ages five and 18 can be nominated for the awards; visit weday.com/theprincesyouthser-viceawards.

An artist con-cept of the eight-storey project at 10217 and 10255 Yonge St. is seen at left, with existing Richmond Hill United Church seen at far right.
Heated exchanges as Muench, Beros urge talks with developer
proposal including parking, traffic, protec-tion of trees, preservation of heritage build-ings, excessive height, density and scale and incompatibility with the character of the town’s downtown and impact on the nearby United Church steeple.
The proposed development does not con-form with either the town’s old or new official plan, according to a staff report. It does not address concerns raised by staff, doesn’t com-ply with the village district height limit of five storeys, nor does it provide for a linked system of courtyards and mews, as required by the new official plan.
The developer appealed to the OMB and a pre-hearing conference is set for May 31.
In March, the developer’s planner was invited to a meeting with residents on revital-izing the downtown core, held by Muench, where the planner made his case for the Salna proposal.
NO PUBLIC CONCERN
At that meeting, Manett told council this week, the public showed no concern regard-ing an eight-storey development.
Details of the Salna proposal were not pre-sented at that March 28 Easter Monday meet-ing, nor were the town’s concerns. Several residents also questioned why town planners were notably absent.
According to planning commissioner Ana Bassios, Muench did not extend them an invi-tation (an issue that is currently the subject of
a formal code of conduct complaint filed by a Ward 2 resident).
Muench suggested to council Tuesday night that the town should focus on negoti-ating with the developer.
“Instead of letting a legal tribunal go for-ward, I’m asking can we try to find a solution amongst ourselves? ... We might be able to save the town a lot of money, we might be able to communicate we are working coop-eratively.”
Bassios told Muench she would prefer the applicant had addressed the concerns ear-lier, rather than trigger litigation through an OMB appeal — and if the developer wants to engage in a discussion, then he should withdraw the appeal.
In the meantime, she said, staff needs
direction from council in order to prepare for next week’s pre-hearing.
Manett had a different suggestion: he asked council to tell the OMB the town approves the proposal in principle and prefers to negotiate a settlement with the developer.
That idea is “ludicrous,” said Mayor Dave Barrow.
“Discussions can continue through medi-ation ... but we have to go to the OMB with something so we can follow the OMB process that we are driven to by the applicant.”
‘AN INSULT TO PEOPLE IN THE AREA’
As for the proposed development, Bar-row said, “this application is an insult to the Town of Richmond Hill. It’s an insult to those people who live in the area of the downtown
because it is nowhere in compliance with the downtown plan that we worked on with the residents.”
Muench then presented an amendment directing staff to continue discussions with the applicant — something Beros thought was reasonable.
“At least we can say we tried our best,” said Beros.
But the rest of council disagreed.Asking staff to talk to an applicant who
is suing the town is “micromanaging”, said Regional Councillor Vito Spatafora and is an insult, said Ward 3 Councillor Castro Liu.
In a recorded vote, only Muench and Beros voted in favour of asking staff to negotiate with the developer.

Paramedics speed up response times despite boost in calls
If you need an ambulance, you’ll be pleased to hear York Region paramedics are getting to emergencies faster than ever.
In 2015, the region’s 550 paramedics trans-ported about 74,000 patients to hospital. That’s up from 57,000 in 2010, the region’s Emergency Medical Services Chief Norm Barrette said.
Between 2010 and 2015, 17,000 more peo-ple called for an ambulance to take them to hospital, a jump of 30 per cent.
Nine times out of 10, paramedics got to a patient’s side in 11 minutes and eight seconds in 2015. That is an improvement from 12 min-utes and 52 seconds in 2010.
“Why we are really wanting to recognize the great work of York Region’s paramedics is that the need for paramedics has grown at the same time the effectiveness of achieving shorter response times has been successfully achieved,” Barrette said.
The decrease in response time is all the more impressive because paramedics are encountering more congestion on the roads, Barrette said. - Lisa Queen

The Ontario Institute for Cancer Research is inviting residents in Richmond Hill and Newmarket to participate in one of the largest longterm health studies in Canada to help further the understanding of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
Since 2010, 230,000 Ontarians have already taken part in the longterm health study, and this Ontario Health Study is seeking more participants from York Region.
With a four-day goal in early June of attracting 200 participants, adults aged 30 to 74 years are encouraged to complete a questionnaire and provide a blood sample at Royal Canadian Legion branches in Newmarket or Rich-mond Hill.
All information will contribute to a healthier future in discovering which factors increase the risk of developing various diseases, as well as what can be done to reduce the chance of developing them.
“Combining questionnaire responses with a blood sample provided at one of the York Region study centres allows us to get a more detailed look at participants’ health,” said Dr. Philip Awadalla, executive scientific direc-tor of the Ontario Health Study. “Data allows researchers to draw comprehensive conclusions abut the health of the overall population.”
The not-for-profit study requires the completion of a short, hour-long online questionnaire. A comprehensive blood analysis will be given with a report of where their personal health falls within a reference range.
To donate a blood sample, schedule an appointment at the Richmond Hill study centre online.
The Richmond Hill study centre will be open at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 375, 233 Centre St. E., June 8 from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and June 9 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Women’s golf tourney in Thornhill boosts regional Hill House Hospice
An upcoming charity golf tournament for women members of the Thornhill Golf & Country Club in Thornhill will boost the regional Hill House Hospice facility.
The golf club’s Ladies Charity Committee, working hard since January, has organized a June 7 tournament to be played at the Thornhill golf course.
Featuring a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m., 18 holes on the long course and nine on the valley course, with a silent auction and lunch following the tournament, the event has already raised more than $25,000. Organiz-ers are optimistic they will reach their goal of $35,000 for Hill House Hospice through hole sponsors, silent auction and raffle items.
Based in the center of Richmond Hill, Hill House Hospice is the only residential pallia-tive care facility in all of York Region. With a team of caring volunteers and staff dedicated to terminally-ill people and their families, the facility delivers high-quality hospice care in a home-like setting.
The facility provides a peaceful, com-fortable and meaningful environment for patients and their families, while caring for their physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
Because Hill House Hospice is only partly funded by the Ministry of Health, it relies heavily on the generosity of individuals and corporations in the community to help finance patient care.
The Thornhill Golf & Country Club was established as a golf and country club in 1922 on Yonge Street in Thornhill and was open to both male and female members. In the very early years, a female player had to join with a male member and also play golf with him.
In the 1970s and ‘80s, a group of about nine Thornhill Golf Club women made a presence for themselves at the club, playing together for many years as “the Prissies”. As women golfers made more progress in the sport, they became more of a force at the Thornhill club, establishing their own com-mittees and ladies golf sections with equal rights as male members.
Over the years, the Thornhill Golf & Country Club has grown to 1,274 mem-bers. In addition to having one of the most challenging and beautiful courses designed by renowned golf course architect Stanley Thompson, it has an active female member-ship. The club also welcomes families, offer-ing curling, tennis, fitness, bridge, and social memberships.
In recent years, women members of the club have hosted an annual charity golf tour-nament to help various charities in the com-munity.
— Penny Spence

York Region invests in hospitals
York Region is investing more than $14 million toward the construction of local hospitals. The funding is determined annu-ally based on forecasted population growth and also each hospital’s ability to reduce the amount of time it takes to assume care of patients from paramedics, known as an off-load target.
The region established a patient off-load target of 30 minutes with hospitals. The target is calculated from the time an ambulance arrives at the hospital with a patient to the time the ambulance leaves the hospital.
In 2015, all three York hospitals demon-strated improvements in meeting the target and will receive the full amount of funding under the agreement.
This year, the region will give the single largest contribution to Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital at almost $6.4 million. Mackenzie Health in Richmond Hill will receive more than $1.9 million.
Markham Stouffville will receive more than $3.8 million and more than $2 million is slated for Southlake Regional Health Centre.
“York Region is one of the fastest grow-ing municipalities in Canada and we must do everything we can to ensure that qual-ity health care is there for everyone, where and when they need it,” regional chairperson Wayne Emmerson said.
“By working in partnership with our local hospitals, we are seeing an improvement in services, additional capital investments and an increased ability to serve more patients.”

St. Theresa soccer club soaks in Italian skillsBY MICHAEL [email protected]
For the St. Theresa of Lisieux Lions boys’ soccer club, Italy is becoming a second home of sorts.
During March break for the third straight year, 22 members of the Lions team along with head coach Gianluca Saggese and school prin-cipal Joe Servidio made their overseas trek to soak up the history and culture of Italy.
Being soccer players, what would a trip to Italy be if they did not showcase their skills and acquire some new ones by playing a series of friendlies when not sightseeing.
This year’s coach itinerary included some new destinations including Pompeii along with the breathtaking island of Capri and the birth-place of the Renaissance in Florence.
As well, there were tours to more popu-lar places such as the Vatican, Amalfi Coast, Naples, Salerno, Rome and Florence.
“This is definitely a lesson that cannot be taught in a classroom,” Saggese said.
Club members stayed for a few days in a state-of-the-art sports complex operated by the Italian Soccer Federation in San Gregorio Magno and took to the pitch for five matches against series A and B youth academies repre-senting Roma, Salernitana and Casertana.
During those matches, the Lions came away with two wins, one tie and two losses.
Just how competitive the Lions were drew the attention of Ciro De Ceare, Salernitana coach and former series A star, who compli-mented them on their game.
Also expressing an appreciation for the
Lions in their game against Roma was former SSC Lazio star Vito Trobiani.
In their prior two appearances, some of the Lions players had the privilege of being invited by the Italian scouts and coaches to participate in a tryout.
Several, such as last year’s team captain Marco Marsala and Josh Mills, returned to Italy to take part in these amazing opportunites.
Once again during this year’s excursion, three members of the Lions were invited back to play in the Arrigo Sacchi tournament against top clubs in Europe.
Another highlight the players won’t soon forget was the opportunity to take in a soccer match at the Stadio Olympic di Roma between two series A giants: Roma and Inter Milan.
They also had the good fortune of meeting some of the professional Napoli players includ-ing Spanish World Cup champion Pepe Reina, Belgian star Dries Mertens and Chelsea’s FC’s Nathaniel Chalobah.
Along the way, the Lions also met an Italian senator and the president of the Italian Football Federation.
“It was a dream come true,” said Lions’15-year-old striker and leading goal scorer Mat-teo Lupo, of watching his favourite team Inter Milan play live.
Saggese felt the biggest positive aspect from this trip and the past two was seeing the players work and collaborate as a cohesive group.
“The friendships turned to brotherhood. These relationships are going to last them for a lifetime,” he said. “There was a perfect fusion catering to the students’ passion for soccer, love of Italian food, culture and history.”
