You’re asked to petition for
subway fundingBy LISA QUEEN
York Region has launched a campaign to rally public pressure for the extension of the Yonge Street subway north to Richmond Hill.
The region and the York Region Rapid Transit Corporation want to build on the momentum cre-ated by a $55-million investment by the province last month.
The money will be used for preliminary design work needed to bring the subway north from Finch Avenue to Hwy. 7.
“The Yonge North Subway Extension project is now on track and moving forward thanks to the generous support of our partner, the government of Ontario,” regional chairperson Wayne Emmerson said in a statement Tuesday to kick off the cam-paign.
“We now need to secure a long-term funding commitment to make this subway a reality.”
The $4-billion subway extension is the region’s top transit priority and would accommodate more than 165,000 riders on weekdays.
“The Yonge North Subway Extension is the No. 1 rapid transit priority of regional council for good reason. There are currently 20,000 people a day packed into buses along Yonge Street between Finch Station and Hwy. 7,” Markham Mayor Frank Scarpit-ti, chairperson of the transit corporation’s board of directors, said.
“It will also help us keep up with the tremen-dous growth and job creation we are experiencing throughout York Region.”
The first phase of the campaign includes the launch of a website — yongesubwaynow.ca — which includes a petition where residents can ask the pro-

Richmond Hill to provide more recycling bins across townBY KIM ZAROUR
You will soon see new service levels for waste collection after a vote by councillors last week, with recycling bins added to downtown areas, beside some super mailboxes and at parks in Richmond Hill.
Any move towards automated waste collection, however, has been postponed until the province’s new Waste-Free Ontario Act — which could impact all municipalities — is implemented.
Over the next few years, recycling collectors will be added to down-town core street containers, super mailbox locations (by request) and the town’s larger parks.
Earlier this year, the town undertook a public consultation to find out what residents think about current waste collection with three open houses, focus groups and an online survey (that garnered 493 responses).
Most of those consulted expressed overall satisfaction with current waste collection services, according to a staff report. Those who weren’t happy mentioned frequent breakage of blue boxes/green bins and missed collection of material.
The report also provided results of a pilot project, undertaken in
2013 in response to neighbourhood litter concerns, to collect recycling on a weekly basis from 92 of the existing 1,300 super mailbox loca-tions in Richmond Hill.
The containers were well-used, the report said, and vandalism was minimal.
The majority of residents polled said they believe recycling at super mailboxes would be a valuable ser-vice, but after they learned about the cost of the program and impact on property taxes, the level of sup-port dropped, according to the report.
Most GTA municipalities do not offer this service — just the City of Markham provides recycle bins at all super mailboxes and Bramp-ton provides it on request, which is what Richmond Hill councillors agreed to do at last Monday’s coun-cil meeting.
Since the start of the pilot pro-gram in 2013, the town has had 100 such requests for additional recycle bins from residents. If those 100 containers were to be installed, in addition to the existing locations, the annual collection cost impact would be $22,000 per year, the staff report said.
Town parks will also get recy-cling services starting in 2018.
Currently, the town provides
year-round garbage collection in all town parks — daily in “destination parks” in the summer, community parks twice a week and others once a week. Service is reduced during the winter to once a week for all and most containers are moved to park entrances and removed from sports fields.
In 2013, the town initiated a pilot project to collect recycling and organics in seven parks. The pilot found the recycle containers were most used at larsger destina-tion and community parks, espe-cially around athletic fields and entrances.
Over the next few years the town will install recycling containers in
24 large community parks and four “destination” parks. Two-stream containers will be placed in the park areas that are used year round and seasonal containers will be placed near sports fields and other areas used predominantly during the warmer months at an additional operating costs of $145,000 per year.
Council also directed staff to begin negotiations for a new waste man-agement collection contract with the current vendor (Miller Waste Systems Inc.) and report back on the results of those negotiations.
If an agreement cannot be made by Dec. 16, staff will proceed with a competitive procurement process.
GOOD TO KNOWCurrently, curbside garbage collection takes place bi-weekly and recycling and organics is collected weekly.
Garbage is collected in plastic bags, recycling in blue boxes and organic waste in green bins. Bulky garbage (furniture etc.) is collected along with garbage, and there’s a limit of three garbage items per week. Tags can be purchased where nec-essary to exceed the three-item limit.

Buyers head NORTH for the lifestyle they craveAlison Brownlee
As real estate prices continue to rise in the Greater Toronto Area, more home hunters may consider looking farther north.
The average price of a Greater Toronto Area home was roughly $739,000 in April.
However, the average price of a property in Muskoka, Halibur-ton and Orillia was $253,000 for non-waterfront and $425,000 for waterfront in March.
So what can you buy if you decide to spend the equivalent of an average GTA home purchase in cottage country?
How about a 2,700-square-foot waterfront home that boasts five bedrooms and two bathrooms with 160 feet of shoreline on Fairy Lake?
And who wouldn’t love cathe-dral ceilings, wood beam accents, hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace also included?
And it comes with a different lifestyle, too.
Ferlito Zambrano said he and his wife made the decision to move to Muskoka for the sake of their kids, though he continued to work in Toronto.
“We had always gone north to cottages,” said Zambrano, a paramedic who works full-time in Toronto and York Region.
“And because of the kids’ experience going to the cottage every summer, we made a deci-sion.”
The couple moved from Toronto to Aurora when their first child was born, and then moved to Newmarket when they wel-comed their second. But elemen-tary school proved difficult for the kids, as Zambrano said they were bullied.
Seven years ago, the couple decided to move their family north to a 12-acre waterfront property in cottage country, per-manently.
“It was for their safety and to create a living environment that our kids would never forget,” he said. “It is a great place to grow – the water, the fresh air and the outdoor activities. And it’s like an early retirement for me.”
Zambrano still works in Toron-to and the GTA. He travels south for his shifts and stays in the city while working before returning home for his days off.
“Living in the big city, you’re dealing with the traffic. Living in Muskoka, you’re dealing with the traffic of the wildlife,” he laughed. “Deer, moose, bears.”
He said he has spotted moose in the middle of the road and even once had a bear in the kitch-en, which the family dog kept in check.
“You have to realize, living in Muskoka, that is the surround-ings,” he said.
The family searched exten-sively before settling on Utterson, a hamlet in the municipality of Huntsville.
The couple was able to put a bid on the property before it went on the market.
“Sometimes the decision you make is about timing and you just make it,” he said. “Timing is everything.”
Bracebridge resident Greg Mournahan, a fellow York Region paramedic, said his Muskoka neighbourhood is filled with for-mer and current Toronto and GTA emergency services personnel.
“If you’re coming up here because property is cheaper, it’s not going to work that way. I don’t think (it is) if you take into account vehicle expense and added rent in the GTA,” said Mournahan, referring to those who live in cottage country and commute to work in the city.
“You have to like the area.”He and his wife loved the area
so much, they decided to build their own home on a non-water-front lot 27 years ago.
Mournahan has commuted ever since, staying overnight in the city during his shifts.
Here’s a look at what you can snap up in cottage country for around the average

Within about five minutes, a long line of about a dozen people formed outside behind me on the hot, humid, sunny day. One was an elderly man with a cane.
Ahead of me in the line inside the air-conditioned offices were parents with squirming children, people filling out forms at a coun-ter, and a woman in long robes covering her from head to toe seat-ed in one of only three chairs, with a son or relative standing in line.
The languages spoken repre-sented a mini United Nations, but everyone was polite and friendly. The Asian couple right behind me was a little too friendly, constantly giggling at private jokes and bump-ing into me — and apologizing — as they looked at their devices.
As I inched my way to the front of the line, I became aware that one man with a strong Russian accent was giving the elderly man with the cane his spot in the line. Then came an active discussion and much gesturing with the woman seated on the chair, trying to give up her chair to the older man.
Finally, a staff person at one of the counters helpfully waved over the elderly gentleman and said loudly, so all of us could hear, some-thing to the effect that he would be served without waiting in line.
Not a soul objected.How wonderfully Canadian it
all was. Despite the fact the govern-ment office was overwhelmed, staff and residents maintained their composure and showed kindness and deference to each other.
After exactly one hour wait, it was my turn and my new health card is now “in the mail” — if we don’t have a postal strike.
ave you lined up late-ly for a new green and white health card or your licence renewal sticker?
I have, and it was an interest-ing, frustrating yet uplifting expe-rience.
I received an official provincial government notice in the mail a few weeks ago stating that I had exactly 30 days to convert my old red-and-white health card to the new photo ID card.
I had been hoping to avoid such an invitation/order, as I loved the fact that the card never expired and it had worked perfectly well for decades — providing me health-care access whenever I needed it.
However, in addition to the serious-sounding language used in the Ministry of Health let-ter, the truth is my beloved card was dog-eared, ripped and held together with tape. I had to admit it was nearing the end of its plastic lifespan and the new green and white card seemed a safer option.
So, I dutifully gathered the required documentation to bring to my local Service Ontario office.
I was dreading the task, as the provincial office at Bernard on Yonge in Richmond Hill always has long lineups. Recently it had pro-voked a series of letters to the edi-tor from residents expressing out-rage at the lengthy lines, cramped space and overwhelmed staff.
“Bring a water bottle, you’ll be standing a long time,” said one friend. “Just don’t even apply for the green card, keep using your red and white card,” advised someone else who shall remain nameless. “Go to the one on Bloomington Road in Aurora,” advised a reader, “there’s lots of room inside; staff are friendly and polite, too!”
Armed with patience and all my needed documents, I arrived at the Richmond Hill office and was almost pleased to be the first client standing outside the door. In the past, I have often joined a long line outside of between 10 and 20 people when I need to renew my licence, so to get right up to the door was a bonus.
why has he wasted so much of council’s time, aided by former mayor Al Duffy, lobbying the town over a Ward 3 matter to permit a member of the DeGasperis family to have a fence that clearly exceeds the permit-ted height — a case which is before the courts?
Lastly, and most bizarre-ly, it appears Council-lor Muench had difficulty declaring pecuniary inter-est (ie: conflict of interest) in a baffling episode, which took place at the outset of last week’s council meeting, when all members of coun-cil seemed to be required to declare a conflict.
Councillor Muench’s hesitation and confusion is apparent in the video recording of the meeting — timestamp four minutes and 47 seconds.
According to the public record of this meeting, this conflict of interest is relative to a judicial review and defa-mation suit brought by Ward 1 Councillor Greg Beros against our entire council, relating to council’s motion and statement of July 2015, in which Councillor Beros was sanctioned by council with regards to a breach of the Safety In The Workplace Policy, a motion once again that Councillor Muench sin-gularly voted against.
In my opinion, all Ward 2 residents need to be asking this question: Who exactly is our elected representative working for?

general Manager Shaun SauveOOPINIONProvincial law needed for petsRe: Town could decide where pet stores get their animals, June 23.
I think it would be wise to initiate a provincial task force to investigate where our pets are coming from, and then have Queen’s Park create and enforce provin-cial legislation.
This will ensure stan-dardized procedures for purveying cats and dogs, and reduce the burden of regulatory work for towns and cities.
Part of a humane society is guaranteeing inalienable rights for our animal com-panions.

Stranger with rose made my day
My heart was warmed by a recent random act of kind-ness.
On Sunday, June 26, while exiting Costco in New-market with my husband and groceries in tow, a tall, distinguished gentleman approached me and gave me an individually wrapped, single long-stem rose.
His words to me were “the world needs more love” ... and so he touched me with his love.
Unwrapping the rose to place it in water, I was overwhelmed by its strong though very pleasant tea rose fragrance.
The exquisite rose, dusty rose in colour with dark pink edges, measures 24 inches long with a four-inch diameter bloom, now hap-pily sitting in my kitchen, reminding me of this man’s kind gesture.
He had other individually wrapped roses in his arm, so I wasn’t the only recipient, but he came and went in a flash.
When I looked back, I couldn’t see him any longer.
I’ll never know his moti-vation, but his act of kind-ness truly made my day!
I offer gratitude to this gentleman for the rose and to all individuals who per-form loving random acts of kindness.

Concerning the letters about long lineups at Ser-vice Ontario in Richmond Hill, I solved this problem by going to Service Ontario at 50 Bloomington W.
It’s only 12 minutes from the 10909 Yonge St. loca-tion.
I was able to go to the front of the line by booking an appointment regarding my OHIP; call 1-800-267-8097.
Also, if you do not have an appointment, you are at least waiting indoors.

Councillor’s conduct ‘baffling’
Watching the June 27 council meeting, not only do I question if I am being rep-resented in a legitimate way by my Ward 2 councillor, but I’m beginning to question his basic abilities to carry out his duties on our behalf.
Once again, Councillor Tom Muench was the only opposing vote on a motion to have staff write a bylaw to regulate pets sales in stores in Richmond Hill.
This was similar to his opposition to another motion supporting much needed reform of the Ontar-io Municipal Board.
It seemed to be another blatant case of our ward councillor not representing the sentiments of the resi-dents he supposedly repre-sents. Who is advising him, because it obviously isn’t us?
On another concern,
Marney Beck

York Region’s schools will get a funding boost of $41 million over the next two years to help repair and renew existing buildings.
The funding was announced Tuesday morning by provincial education minister Mitzie Hunter at Joseph A. Gibson Public School in Vaughan.
The money breaks down to $25 million for York Region District School Board and $16 million for the York Catholic DSB.
The minister said the cash will be used to “repair roofs, update HVAC units and mod-ernize electrical and plumbing systems”.
Along with prior funding commitments, money going to the York boards for repair and renewal funding now totals $120 million over the next two years, Hunter said.
The province will invest an additional $1.1 billion provincewide over the next two years for school renewal to bring the total up to $2.7 billion when existing funding is added in, she said.
“This money is urgently needed,” Hunter said. “A school with a long list of repairs is not serving our students at a level they deserve.
“This funding means fresh asphalt, new flooring, enhanced play areas and more – all of the little things and some big things that exist in the background of students’ everyday experience.
“It is important for people to know that Ontario’s world-class education system is being delivered in high-quality facilities.”
She said that since 2003, “our government has invested more than $14 billion in school infrastructure, including 760 new schools and more than 735 additions and renovations. We’re in the midst of providing more than $12 billion over 10 years to Ontario’s school boards. This funding will help build more new schools in areas of high growth.”

Former councillor, community activist, Doug Smith, mourned
BY KIM [email protected]
Longtime residents of Richmond Hill are mourning the passing of Doug Smith, a former councillor with the town and an active, well-loved member of the community.
Smith served as Ward 2 councillor from 1981 to 1988. Mayor Dave Barrow informed current councillors of his passing at Monday’s commit-tee meeting.
Barrow served on council with him in the early 1980s.
“The town was much smaller then, and most inter-actions were personal within your own neighbourhood,” Barrow said. “Doug was a very good councillor, looking after his constituents in a prompt and respectful way.”
A retired professor at Centennial College, he was actively involved in many local organizations, including St. Matthew’s United Church, The Curtain Club community theatre and Treasures.
He is remembered by many for his warmth, kindness and gentle presence.
“I cannot imagine Rich-mond Hill without Doug,” Elizabeth Davis wrote on the condolences page for Mar-shall Funeral Home. “I’m sure he is remembered all over the world by people who were touched by his life of faith in action.”
Kim Bennett Riley remem-bered being met by Smith with “the biggest smile and hug” in the vestibule at St. Matthew’s United. “I have a lifetime of memories — Doug’s laugh, his
huge hugs, his amazing smile, his love of family, friends and his incredible zest for life.”
He had a big heart for the Town of Richmond Hill, remembered Tom Simpson, who served on council with Smith from 1985 to 1988.
Smith passed away peace-fully, surrounded by his family, at Hill House Hospice in Rich-mond Hill on Friday, July 1.
Husband of Helen (Stew-art) for 52 years, he was father of Carl (Carmen) and the late Maggie (Steve Meacher), grandfather to Gregory, Piper, Gillian and Scotlin. He was predeceased by his brother Jack, and parents Marshall and Marion Smith.
Visitation was at Marshall Funeral Home Tuesday. A ser-vice of celebration of Doug’s life will be held in Septem-ber at St. Matthew’s United Church; date and time to be confirmed.
In lieu of flowers and in Doug’s memory, donations may be made to Hill House Hospice.

You can help send Richmond Hill student to the ArcticA Richmond Hill student will spend part
of her summer on the Arctic ice.Queen’s University student Ushpreet
Mehta has been accepted into an inter-national youth education program in the Arctic to learn about the global importance of the Polar regions and to become edu-cated, inspired and empowered as a young leader.
The expedition takes place from July
21 to Aug. 7 and brings 70 international students to join a team of world-class sci-entists, historians, artists, journalists and educators.
Participants will have a first-hand look at the trans-national, complex environmen-tal challenges facing the Arctic. The youth will be conducting scientific experiments, learning about the geology of the Arctic and marine biology and the effects of the melt-
ing icecaps at the poles. In order to participate in the expedition,
Mehta must raise $12,000 in sponsorships and donations. She is approaching local busi-nesses, community organizations, as well as individuals to support her trip.
She notes that the real-world classroom will be a catalyst to enhance her commit-ment to educate other youth about climate change.
She has been a resident of Richmond Hill for 19 years and actively involved with the York Region Indian Seniors Club and the Youth Environmental Network of York Region.
Mehta offers to publicize sponsoring companies’ names and logos through the Students on Ice website, in public presenta-tions about the expedition, as well as though her own personal blog on the experience.
If you can help Mehta though individ-ual donations or company sponsorships, email her at [email protected] or call 416-893-7326. Or head directly online to her GoFundMe link: www.gofund.me/ush-preet2arctic

uReportRichmond Hill student earns highest Girl Guide gold award
versity of Western Ontario for computer science studies.
Her skills learned and successes achieved in Guiding would not be possible without the dedication of all the adult Guiders who tirelessly volunteer their time in arranging meetings, events and outings, and challenge the girls to do their best.
Girl Guides provides a fun and safe envi-ronment to girls ages 5 through 17 to learn new skills, gain rewarding experiences and meet new friends outside school and home.
Through outdoor activities such as camping and hiking, girls learn to appreciate nature and the environment.
In addition to annual cookie sale cam-paigns, girls volunteer to plant trees, clean creeks, sing in senior homes, knit for the needy, make crafts for fundraising and are involved in many more activities in their communities.
To find out about registering in a Guiding unit this fall, or volunteer as an adult, go to www.girlguides.ca
A student from Richmond Hill was a proud recipient of the Girl Guides Chief Commis-sioner’s Gold Award at the 2016 Provincial Recognition Ceremony held in Mississauga recently.
Stacey Gunderson of Richmond Hill High School earned the highest award achievable by a girl member in the Guiding movement.
A Ranger in 1st York South Ranger group, Gunderson also this year received the Youth Commitment Award in recognition of her long-term commitment to Guiding.
During the past 13 years as a guiding member — in Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers — she has gained tremendous experience, skills and friend-ships outside home and school.
In 2013, she received the Canada Cord Award as a Pathfinder and had the opportu-nity to travel to Zurich, Switzerland with her Richmond Hill group.
Through Guiding, Gunderson has tried dog-sledding in winter and canoeing in sum-mer. She had opportunities to participate in parades, Halloween events at Canada’s Wonderland, Great Wolf Lodge, Niagara Falls, downtown Toronto Scavenger Hunts, Nuit Blanche, etc.
She enjoys roasting marshmallows, sing-ing wacky songs and looking for wildlife when camping. She does not mind getting her hands dirty and hair smokey to build a campfire.
September will find her attending Uni-
Richmond Hill’s Stacey Gunderson, holding the highest award achievable in the Girl Guide movement, is seen with 1st York South Ranger leader Becky Vincent.

Strategic plans help guide Richmond Hill’s future and protect our infrastructure
Almost 10 years ago, together with the community, we began a journey which resulted in People Plan Rich-mond Hill, our Strategic Plan which spans 25 years and guides us in how we will act and what we will do.
We’ve recently approved Strategic Plan Phase 3 Implementation Plan, outlining the actions we will take over the next four years to continue to move Richmond Hill forward.
By following the framework we set for ourselves in our Strategic Plan, we have accomplished a lot in the last few years.
Since 2009, Richmond Hill invest-ed more than $270 million into facili-ties, parks, playgrounds, sports fields and trails. We can all be proud of state-of-the-art facilities such as the Oak Ridges Community Centre and Lake Wilcox Promenade.
We are connecting our commu-nity to other parts of the GTA with the Viva Next Rapidway along Hwy. 7, 50 km of new sidewalks and 160 km of signed bike routes.
We are making progress on extending the subway to Richmond Hill Centre. Just a few weeks ago the project received $55 million in provincial funding for further design
and engineering work. With our Phase 3 roadmap, we
will continue to implement the four goals set out in the Strategic Plan: Stronger Connections, Better Choice, a More Vibrant Richmond Hill and Wise Management of Resources.
We will continue to invest in this community with projects such as our new Oak Ridges Library. Con-struction will begin next year on this state-of-the-art facility, which will feature self-serve technology, an urban living room and a computer education centre.
The Lake Wilcox Park Youth Area, slated for 2017, will include basket-ball, beach volleyball and skateboard facilities, along with all-important Wi-Fi service.
The Town also continues to inves-tigate the future use of the “Civic Precinct” at Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive, including the pos-sible relocation of the main munici-pal offices to that area.
Other investments we make are not as evident as buildings and bas-ketball courts. Investment in infra-structure such as watermains, roads and stormwater management is crucial to the wise management and maintenance of our Town.
Our Town plans, including the Environment Strategy, the Parks Plan and Recreation Plan, the Cultural Plan and the Transportation Master Plan, continue to guide us in creat-ing the vibrant Richmond Hill that residents want because they were created with community input.
Going forward, Richmond Hill will develop a financial plan to explore alternative funding sources, establish an Internal Audit function and undertake multi-year budget-ing. A new IT Strategy will ensure the Town is equipped with up-to-date technology and skills.
In addition, Richmond Hill will continue to pursue new initiatives. We will launch a new website, cre-
ate a comprehensive zoning bylaw, finalize the David Dunlap Obser-vatory Master Plan and refresh the Town’s Economic Development Strategy.
We will also continue to imple-ment the Official Plan and develop secondary plans for the downtown, Oak Ridges and other areas.
As with the Strategic Plan Imple-mentation Phases 1 and 2 — we will continue to monitor progress and report to the community. Annual reports will be completed in 2017, 2018 and 2019, after which, it will be time to review our Strategic Plan to ensure it continues to represent our community vision.
As you can tell, there are many projects moving forward in Rich-mond Hill — too many for me to provide complete details here.
We’ll continue to ask the com-munity for input and share what we’re doing in the newspaper, on social media, at community meet-ings and our website and, of course, all are welcome to attend council meetings.
We have a lot of work to do and we’ll do it well because we love the Town we live in.

Pizzafest set to serve up slices of family fun in VaughanBy AdAm [email protected]
Pizza and beer are dietary staples for many university and college stu-dents, but for Remo Palladini they’re also the perfect combination for cel-ebrating Vaughan’s 25th anniversary as a city.
The arrival of that municipal mile-stone inspired him to bring the two together and launch Vaughan Pizzaf-est, a three-day “family friendly” cel-ebration on tap at the Woodbridge fairgrounds July 15 to 17.
“There’s no better place to do a pizza fest,” said the lifelong Wood-bridge resident. “It’s a predominantly Italian community and it’s the city’s birthday so the idea was to just throw a big pizza party.”
Of course, the 10-plus pizzerias taking part — including Ricci’s Piz-zeria, Za Pizzeria, Pie Woodfire Pizza Joint, and Slopes of Vesuvius, among others — don’t serve cheap, greasy slices students usually scarf down.
Rather, they’ll be offering up arti-san pies made with fresh and, in some cases, gourmet toppings.
Same goes for the brew.We’re not talking about the
watered-down swill poured in many pubs haunted by post-secondary stu-dents, but approximately 30 flavour-ful lagers, ales and stouts produced by roughly a dozen of Ontario’s small-batch, craft brewers such as Lake Wil-cox Brewing, Beau’s All Natural Brew-ing, Highlander Brew Co. and Wild Card Brewing Company.
STAFF PHOTO/STEVE SOMERVILLE
Remo Palla-dini and Frank Spadone pour a craft beer and slice up a delicious pizza in anticipation of Pizzafest, on tap next weekend at Woodbridge fairgrounds. The July 15 to 17 event is family friendly and features activites for children.
GOOD TO KNOW:DATES AND HOURS:
- Friday, July 15 from 4 to 11 p.m.
- Saturday, July 16 noon until 11 p.m.
- Sunday, July 17 noon until 7 p.m.
Admission: $10.
Pizza tickets cost $12. Each ticket con-sists of six slices with vendors charging between one and 20 slices for the pizza and other food.
Pizza tickets also serve as tickets for the midway and other children’s activities.
Drink tickets cost $5 each. A full ticket gets you a 12oz beer while half a ticket gets you a 5oz sample.
For more information, visit www.vaughanpizzafest.com
And there’s more than just pizza and beer for your taste buds.
Those who prefer their cheese and pepperoni wrapped in a blanket of fried dough will be able to enjoy panzerottis as well as strombolis, pizza rolls and other “pizza related items,” Palladini said.
An assortment of beverage alter-natives is also available for non-beer drinkers, including mixed drinks, water and, of course, Brio.
Pizzafest also has an entertain-
ment lineup brimming with local talent, including singer/songwrit-ers Carlo Coppola, Joee and Laura Cavacece, performing Friday night.
Saturday night, you can catch performances by Stuck on Planet Earth, Glass Ampp, Spookey Ruben and headliner Fast Romantics.
There’s lots for the children to enjoy as well, including a chance to get up close with snakes, lizards and other reptiles courtesy of Rep-tilia; block-building fun by Legoland
and a midway complete with rides, carnival games and a train, Palladini noted.
Richmond Hill-based comedian Frank Spadone will be there too, serving as honourary chairman and emcee for the event.
A Pizzafest wouldn’t be complete without a pizza-eating contest, so that is on tap too, Palladini said.
“It’s basically, eat, drink and be merry — that’s our goal for the event,” he said.

The 7.4-kilometre extension would include five stations — Cummer/Drewry, Steeles, Clark, Langstaff/Longbridge and the Richmond Hill Centre.
The Steeles and Richmond Hill Centre stations would include bus terminals.
This “shovel-ready and shovel-worthy” project is long overdue, said Richmond Hill councillor Godwin Chan, adding that the extension will connect commuters in the 416 and 905 area codes and provide more
jobs, less congestion and faster travel time.“Individuals and businesses across York
Region have told us that increasing traffic congestion is by far their most pressing issue,” transit corporation president Mary-Frances Turner, said.
“In response, York Region, along with our partners at Queen’s Park and in Ottawa, has made significant investments to increase and modernize our public transit options, including investments in Viva rapidways and the extension of the Spadina Subway into Vaughan. The Yonge North Subway Extension is the critical missing piece.”

Charges laid following multiple shooting at Aurora banquet hall on Canada DayYork Regional Police has laid charges
against five people arrested following a mul-tiple shooting at an Aurora banquet hall on Canada Day and investigators are urging any witnesses to come forward.
York Regional Police got the call at about 10 p.m. on Friday, July 1 after four victims were gunned down at Di’Nardo’s The Man-sion banquet hall near industrial Parkway South and Vandorf Sideroad.
According to police, the incident occurred after a fight broke out between individu-als at the event. Three women and a man were shot and taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Officers and the police helicopter, AIR2, quickly located five out of the six sus-pects sought, who left the scene in a white Porsche.
Police have released the following list of names and charges:
Raymond Powell, 31, and 28-year-old Adrian Pascal, both of Toronto, have been charged with aggravated assault and fail to comply with recognizance. Jason Behar-ry, 24, of Oshawa, Devin Degoias, 20, of Toronto and 30-year-old Jason Maragh of Whitchurch-Stouffville all face charges of aggravated assault.
Police also released a surveillance camera image of a sixth man they say was seen leav-ing the scene.
He was last seen at a gas station in the 16th Avenue and Leslie Street area of Rich-mond Hill.
The man in question, or anyone who can identify him, is asked to contact investiga-tors. The public is advised not to approach him and contact police immediately if he is seen.
Investigators are appealing to any wit-nesses to come forward with information and any nearby businesses, that may have video surveillance, to contact police.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the York Regional Police #1 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-866-876-5423, ext.7141, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-tips.
Woman badly hurt after accident
York Regional Police report a woman is in critical condition after she was struck by a vehicle in Vaughan last Wednesday evening, June 29.
The woman suffered serious injuries after she was hit while crossing Major Mackenzie Drive near Dufferin Street at about 7 p.m.
She was reportedly suffering from a head injury when she was taken to a hospital.
York police reported that the driver of the vehicle remained on the scene of the accident.

Emily Zhu punched her ticket to compete at the Inter-national Players Championship after winning her age group division at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s PGA of Ontario Junior Championship, presented by Freedom 55 Financial at Forest City National Golf Club in London Sunday.
Competing in the Girls U-15 Division, the 12-year-old Richmond Hill resident carded a two-round 17-over 161 (77-84) to lead all competitors.
Included in Zhu’s first round five-over 77 was an eagle she recorded on the par five 10th hole.
Zhu won her division by 18 strokes over her nearest rival Mikayla Bourgeois, 13, of Mississauga.
The International Players Championship will be held in Jasper, Alta. in August.
Not to be outdone, Zhu’s younger brother Andre, 9, won his third straight Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour title after capturing the Ontario Peewee Boys’ title.
During the two-round event, Andre carded a 14-over 158 (79-79). Andre won the title by seven strokes over his nearest rival Kevin Lee, 11, of Markham.
Lee earned the Golf Town Comeback Award after improving his score by 13 shots during the second round when he finished with a 165 (89-76).
In the Ontario Girls 15-19 Division, Richmond Hill resident Kristen Wong, 19, won the title after carding a two-round 23-over 167 (88-79). Wong won the title by nine shots over Shannon Coffey, 15, of Windsor.
Wong attributed her success to being mentally pre-pared. “I kept a good mentality after my first round and consistently kept a positive attitude,” she said. “I believe the most important thing is to focus on your own game, because golf is you versus the course.”

Bathroom Renovations Kitchens Home AdditionsSPECIALIZING IN:
Maximize summer enjoyment with a screened patioEven the most relaxing evening on the patio is often accompanied by the arrival of annoying mos-quitoes. Rather than retreating indoors, consider your options to create a bug-free area with a screened-in patio or porch.
A big part of the appeal of owning a home becomes ultra apparent during the summer months when we can spend time outdoors, soaking up sun during the day and dining on the patio in the evening.
You can extend your summer enjoyment with screens that are
fitted to patio and porch openings. When done right, these options greatly appeal to future buyers.
Try setting a budget, then ex-ploring a variety of options to fit your pocketbook and tastes. With a wide range of products on the market – from motorized retract-able screens to do-it-yourself kits from your local building store – there’s something to fit every
budget. Start with a trip to the li-brary and research ideas through books and publications on decks, porches and patios.
As far as dos and don’ts, ob-tain more than one quote if you are looking to engage a profes-sional service to plan and install your screens. If you plan to do the project yourself, make sure your basic structure is in good
shape. If not, be sure to budget for additional material costs and make repairs before you begin. Measure accurately and ask to see assembly instructions in the kit you buy.
More information on enhan-cing and preserving the value of your home is available online at www.royallepage.ca.

York benefitting from United Way merger, new CEO saysBY LISA QUEEN
An historic $100 million fundraising achievement.
As the merged United Way Toronto and York Region celebrates its first anniversary this month, there is no more tangible way to mea-sure the alliance’s success than recognizing the ground-breaking financial milestone that’s allowing a boost in investment in York Region, new CEO Daniele Zanotti said.
The year before the merger, which came into effect July 1, 2015, donors contributed $89 million to Toronto’s United Way and $8 million to York’s organization, for a combined total of $97 million.
“We set, when we merged, an aggressive goal of $100 million, which was a 3-per-cent increase. We delivered and beat it, actually. We came in a little bit higher than that,” said Zanotti, who said the merger resulted in more donors, more workplace fundraising cam-paigns and more volunteers.
“For all intents and purposes, that demon-strates very visibly that the synergy of the two coming together raised more dollars together for agencies right across the region… (We had a) 3-per-cent growth in fundraising that will directly go to agencies across York Region. We have not had that for many, many years in York.”
The additional funding has allowed York to piggyback on successful ventures in Toronto — something that never would have hap-pened without the merger, Zanotti said.
When they merged, United Way Toronto
had a number of existing strategies, a building strong neighbourhoods strategy and a youth success strategy, he said.
“The merger allowed us to take inventory and stock of the demographics in York Region and then look at how might these play out on these issues in York.”
For example, the United Way will roll out a career navigator program for young people in York this fall.
Launched in Toronto last year, the project connects young people facing barriers, such as poverty and lack of education, to meaningful careers in fields such as IT, retail, construc-tion and health care through partnerships with employers, educational institutions and labour organizations.
Meanwhile, the Centre for Immigrant and Community Services in York received funding from the United Way for a program called LIFT, which prepares newcomers between 16 and 24 with in-demand job skills and employment information so they can make wise education and career choices.
In addition, the region, an entry point for many newcomers, was able to take advantage of a $750,000 investment for Syrian refugees settling in York and Toronto.
“A number of agencies across Toronto and York benefitted from that and are now directly using those dollars, as we speak, on the ground helping families integrate,” Zanotti said.
In April, the United Way released a report on the growing problem of precarious or inse-cure employment in York,.
The research, which built on a six-year study and two previous surveys done in the
Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, revealed more than 40 per cent of York residents sur-veyed struggle with some degree of unstable job prospects, such as irregular hours, short-term contracts and few or no benefits.
In January, the United Way conducted York’s first point-in-time count of the home-less, with information gathered from the proj-ect now being used to improve services.
The investments in York show the merger of the two United Way organizations has ben-efitted the region, Zanotti said.
“We began this process with a real promise to make things better for the community first and for our partners second ... so, a year in, I say very clearly, we’ve got measurable success-es on that deliver on that promise,” he said.
