Town hall moving back to downtown

BY KIM ZARZOUR

kzarzour@yrmg.com

The Town of Richmond Hill is moving forward on plans to create a central gathering place for the community at the corner of Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie.

Calling it a “momentous decision”, councilors voted last week to build a new civic centre in the downtown core.

The proposed all-season community space will include new municipal offices, an expanded Central Library building and public gathering areas at a cost of almost $200 million.

Mayor Dave Barrow said the civic precinct project has been years in the making, after

hearing from the community through numerous public consultations that residents want a central gathering place.

“As Richmond Hill continues to transition to a new kind of urban, it’s crucial that we have a thriving central hub where the entire community can feel connected to Richmond Hill. This is much more than an office building. It’s about building an identity for our community.”

In addition to municipal offices and meeting places, the project includes a public square, a reflecting pool/skating rink, amphitheatre, pedestrian promenade and pedestrian plazas.

The current town hall at 225 East Beaver Creek Rd. is expected to exceed capacity by

serpaautomotivegroup.com

the year 2023.

The new so-called civic precinct project is also expected to be a catalyst for downtown revitalization, an area that has struggled in recent years.

“Our civic precinct will be a milestone legacy project for Richmond Hill,” said Karen Cilevitz, Ward 5 councillor and chairperson of the Civic Precinct Task Force. “It will become both a place of municipal business and a gathering place for our residents to value and enjoy, now and into the future.”

Council voted on the project at a special meeting Sept. 7, with all but one councillor in See THREE-QUARTERS, page 9.

York man hopes he can move out of basement by 30 The average priced $603,900 townhouse requires a household income of $108,370.

You need a household income of $74,827 to buy a condo, which costs an average of $406,845.

For DeRyck, even staying in Newmarket, one of the less expensive communities in York Region, is doubtful at best.

With the average cost of a home being $761,000, he would need a household income of $134,600 and could expect mortgage payments of $2,725.

By comparison, the average price of buying a home in Aurora is $941,000, requiring a household income of $162,740, while in Markham it is $960,100, making a minimum household income of $161,660 necessary,.

In Richmond Hill, the average price is almost $1.07 million, necessitating a household income of $179,550, while Vaughan’s average price of $921,700 requires a household income of $156,730 and WhitchurchStouffville’s average price of $920,460 requires a household income of $157,680.

At 24, Nick DeRyck has saved $12,000 towards a future home of his own

BY LISA QUEEN

lqueen@yrmg.com

t 24, Nick DeRyck has done everything anyone could expect of him as a young adult.

After graduating from Newmarket’s Huron Heights Secondary School, he completed a two-year police foundations course, choosing Seneca College’s nearby King campus, in part so he could live at home to save on expenses.

While he plans on a career as a police officer, he now works at Cardinal Golf Club in King for his third season, recently wrapped a part-time summer job with a beer company and will once again get a job for the winter, hopefully this time something more careeroriented than the snowplowing jobs he’s had in the past.

While he has a couple of hobbies that cost him money — buying guitars, purchasing car parts for his 1986 Firebird and playing goalie on a hockey team — DeRyck has saved about $12,000 towards buying a home.

But he wonders if he’ll ever have enough money to move out of the basement of his parents’ semi-detached house, for which he pays $400 a month in rent.

While he gets along well with his parents and two siblings, DeRyck is hoping his frugal lifestyle will allow him to buy his own home by the time he turns 30.

“I don’t mind (living at home) at the moment, but I definitely don’t want it to be a lifelong thing,” he said while sitting at the family’s kitchen table.

“It’s kind of discouraging that the prices are getting ridiculously high. Here in Newmarket, I think the lowest house would probably be, if you’re lucky, around $600,000.”

While DeRyck knows past generations had to save and work hard to get their footing in life, he feels today’s sky-high housing market makes it that much more daunting for today’s young people.

“The down-payments are ridiculous amounts of money now. Even to get your foot in the door is extremely hard. It just makes you feel like it’s going take forever,” he said.

Housing affordability series:

TIPS FOR BUYING A HOME

Susie Kockerscheidt/ Metroland

Despite his education, holding down a job and saving money, Newmarket’s Nick DeRyck wonders when he will be able to afford to move out of his parents’ home and get a place of his own.

He is left wondering how far away he will have to move to afford a home.

DeRyck is far from alone, according to Bradford mortgage broker James McNeill with Centum Mortgage Professionals Corp.

“The opportunities are not there. When I graduated school or even when I was going to university, I could work (at a well-paying factory job) and earn enough to move out of the house. I moved out of the house at 18,” he said.

“Right now, that is unrealistic because of

the cost of living and the opportunity to earn is not there, it’s just not there.”

A report released last month by TheRedPin Brokerage, a Toronto area web-based realty service, shows the dizzying housing prices in the Greater Toronto Area.

To buy a detached home in the GTA, where the average price is $950,000, you need a household income of $165,000.

For a semi-detached home, with an average price of $661,760, your household income needs to be a minimum of $117,860.

McNeill offered a number of tips for young people considering buying a house: • You can buy a house for as little as 5 per cent down, however the non-traditional mortgage must be insured by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp.

• Budget properly.Your monthly housing costs should not be more than 32 per cent of your gross monthly income and your entire debt load should not be more than 40 per cent of your gross monthly income.

• Save money. Sure, the latest tech toy may look good, but keep your eyes on your long-term goal of home ownership. For example, consider living at home during post-secondary years and even after you graduate.

• Keep debt to a minimum.

• Maintain a good credit rating.

• Consider buying outside the GTA. • Consider employment outside the GTA where there are lower housing costs.

• Lenders will generally want to see you have two years’ employment history before approving you for a mortgage.

• Set aside 1.5 per cent of the cost of your home for closing costs such as legal fees.

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE PROPERTY OF CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE OR INTEREST IN THE MATTER OF THE LAND AND PREMISES IN THE TOWN OF RICHMOND HILL, IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO HEREAFTER DESCRIBED AS: PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: LT 155 PL 202 KING; LT 156 PL 202 KING; PT LT 1 PL 202 KING AS IN KI25392 ExCEPT ExPROP PL IF190; PT LT 110 PL 202 KING AS IN A18238A & A38477A; PT LT 67 CON 1 KING AS IN KI13767 ExCEPT ExPROP PL IF190 & PT 5 ExPROP PL B57500B; RICHMOND HILL 13200 Yonge Street, Town of Richmond Hill MUNICIPAL ADDRESS: (Oak Ridges Public School) D12-07518 TOWN FILE NO.: TAKE NOTICE THAT the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Richmond Hill intends to designate the above-noted property, including land and building, as a property of cultural heritage value or interest under Part IV, section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter 0.18, as amended.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The subject property at 13200 Yonge Street (Oak Ridges Public School) contains direct associative/historical and contextual value. The property has been directly associated with the act of teaching since the construction of the first frame school in 1854.

The c.1854 Oak Ridges Public School (also known as the Union School Section No. 1), was constructed soon after the Common School Act for Upper Canada (1850), which created school sections as the smallest unit for the administration of rural public school boards.

In 1914, a new school was constructed immediately south of the original 1854 school. The original layout of the 1914 structure provided separate entrances for boys and girls on the northwest and southwest corner.

The entrances converged into a circulation area located on the west side of the structure that included stairs, cloakrooms and office space.

Classrooms were located on the eastern portion of the structure and provided with three banks of large east facing of windows.

The school was designed utilizing the Edwardian architectural language, which was popular at the time for a wide variety of buildings. The structure was constructed with a raised cut limestone foundation wall with four windows. The main material used for the walls was red brick with

Richmond Hill ON

L4B 3P4

Public Notice red tinted mortar joints. Articulated brick structural piers were used at the corners and mid-way along the south and north elevation. A square brick motif with cut stone elements was used to provide visual interest along the south and north walls. Large three-bay windows were utilized on the east (Yonge Street) elevation to provide light into the classrooms with smaller windows located on the north and south elevations to provide light into the circulation/office areas. All of the window sills were completed with concrete headers and sills. The 2-storey building was originally completed with a hip roof that contained two large chimneystacks. Overall, the unified brick/mortar colour scheme and vertical brick piers provided a sense of weight, mass and unity to the structure.

Additions were added to the 1914 structure in 1953 and 1961. When the 1961 addition was built the second storey of the c.1914 school was removed. Together, the two additions created an L-shaped building with the 1914 structure in the middle. The additions are not part of this designation.

In 1999, the Oak Ridges Public School moved to 160 Coon’s Road (to the north west of the subject site). The subject property was used by the Conseil Scolaire Viamonde until 2015 when it was closed in advance of a redevelopment of the site.

The significance of the site relates to its associative historical and contextual value as a location for public education within the community of Oak Ridges for over 160 years.

Contextually, the property is historically linked to its location on Yonge Street and relates to the development and growth of the community of Oak Ridges since 1854.

Description of Heritage Attributes Key physical attributes that contribute to the heritage value of 13200 Yonge Street (Oak Ridges Public School), include the following: • The east wall of the c.1914 school building; • The raised ashlar cut stone foundation wall containing four square windows and completed with a chamfered concrete top trim; • Red brick wall with red tinted mortar joints and structural brick piers; and • Bay of three large square punched windows with a unified concrete sill and header.

Additional Information For more information respecting the proposed designation, please contact Matthew Somerville, Urban Design/Heritage Planner, Planning & Regulatory Services Department at (905) 771-5529 or by e-mail at matthew.somerville@ richmondhill.ca. Contact can also be made by fax at (905) 771-2404.

House prices? Terrible, right?

Developer knows responsibilities

W

hat do you think of today’s house prices?

The answer you might have if you’re a politician, “policy analyst” or parent of twentysomethings is to be outraged simple townhouses are exceeding the half-a-million-dollar mark.

“Did you see how much they’re asking for that place? Ridiculous!” you hear a neighbour say, although he or she has a glint in their eye and the calculator is clicking in their head about what their place might fetch some day.

The Toronto Real Estate Board says as of September the average price of a detached home in York now exceeds $1.2 million. Wow! So there’s definitely that sentiment that when someone puts a house up for sale, everyone on the street hopes they get the max, there is a bidding war, or the secretive, wealthy person in a foreign land desperate to get their wealth into a safe haven like Canada, will buy the place sight unseen, well over asking price.

Which all sounds dandy, except that you have to think it is all going to end badly some day, when our own kids are forced to move to Wawa to find a home they can afford. (Wawa is a nice place — I lived there for a year — a good place to raise kids, they say — you just have to accept that it is very close to fishing and snowmobile trails and far from the ROM, Roy Thomson Hall, the ACC, etc.)

Or when businesses in the GTA or Vancouver cannot attract workers because those workers can’t afford to live there. Which might drive up wages in the long run, sure. But it might also precipitate an exodus of businesses from large urban centres when, in this digital age, where you work doesn’t matter so much.

Of course, there’s the other phenomenon, felt closer to home, and one you hear about, the “kids” who never move away.

Which will have a broader societal impact as our beloved sons and daughters spend their 20s and then 30s, single and living in mom and dad’s basement, playing video games or watching Netflix and forever raiding the snack supply as he or she saves up for the required

Bernie O’Neill downpayment that gets bigger every year.

They dream the parents will just leave the family home to them, or sell it and “lend” them the huge downpayment dough. But who can sell when everything out there to buy costs so much?

So while it may be great for some — homeowners who have built up a lot of equity and are at an age where they could sell and downsize or sell and move to some town that is much cheaper — it could be crippling for others.

An infusion of wealth into our economy, sure. But ...

A lot of the GTA demand is due to normal growth and lack of supply. With B.C. clamping down on foreign buying, it will add to demand here. Where does it end?

Think of it this way — there’s suddenly huge demand for Ontario’s farm products. It’s wonderful at first. Prices shoot up and our grocers and farmers get rich! Great!

Until a bunch of us can’t afford to buy food at the new higher prices — and end up at the food bank.

Mind you, the great thing about real estate is that it is a “real” asset.

Unlike a field of corn, which you cannot really live in (Field of Dreams excepted) you get to live in a house, walk around in your bare feet, let the dog scratch up the hardwood floor, occasionally burn the dinner and have the place fill with smoke — because you got distracted when the washing machine overflowed and water seeped into the floor — and someone still wants to give you a million dollars for it! Amazing!

For now, I just try to think of our place as “home sweet home,” where the dog comes running to greet me at the end of the day, and not as an investment I will need to make some high-stakes and lifechanging decision about, down the road. I sleep better that way.

Re: Neighbour troubled by deteriorating homes, Aug. 18.

As Church Street residents, we are responding to this article to report that these homes have been allowed to fall to wreck and ruin for more than a decade while the landlord says he is going to develop the properties.

To date, however, the properties have not been developed nor do they seem to be properly maintained, while the developer continues to rent them out to vulnerable families.

As president of Arten Development Group and vice president of operations at a real estate firm, the developer knows he should be maintaining his properties in a safe and habitable condition.

This means basic things, such as cutting the grass, keeping critters and weather out of the buildings, as well as ensuring that buildings on the property don’t fall down while people are living there.

Neighbour Glen Wedlock

www.yorkregion.com

has been an advocate for these tenants to have decent and safe housing standards for years. He is a person who cares about the welfare of residents and of his community.

The fact that the developer had his tenant speak to The Liberal reporter while he himself was on the line listening to the tenant’s responses demonstrates clearly that he understands his own power relative to the vulnerable position of the tenant.

That is, to us, one definition of a bully.

An update of note, after this article hit the online edition of The Liberal, there were roofers at the property on the same day finally fixing the roof.

It seems that the towns’ property standards and our local councillor cannot or will not enforce the property standards in town.

Perhaps neighbourhood residents will have to continue to call the developer out in the press for him to take the appropriate actions for the welfare of his tenants.

It’s about time OMB is overruled Re: Town wins landmark parkland fight, Sept. 8.

Thank God for the Ian Nordheimers of this world [court justice who made ruling].

It is about time that someone pointed out the outrageous decisions made by the Ontario Municipal Board, which have historically been in favour of developers and with no indication of sympathy for anyone else.

Why has this body been allowed to exist for so long?

Surely its raison d’etre has been translated into something else far removed from the original intentions of its founders?

2 stores banned from selling cigarettes Two convenience stores in Richmond Hill will not be allowed to sell tobacco products for six months after being convicted of selling to underage youth.

York Region served notice of prohibition to Neighbourhood Convenience, located at 669 Major Mackenzie Dr. E., and Levendale Convenience, located at 26 Levendale Rd., as a result of repeated non-compliance with the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, according to a release from the region this week.

The stores are prohibited from the sale, storage and delivery of tobacco products effective Sept. 12, the release said.

The Major Mackenzie location has been convicted several times before – in April 2015, April 2014 and September 2013.

York Region Public Health tobacco control officers conduct youth inspections of vendors following community complaints and as part of a routine testing program to deter illegal tobacco sales to underage youth.

“Tobacco use is the number one cause of

preventable disease and death in Ontario,” said Dr. Karim Kurji, York Region’s Medical Officer of Health. “It is important to prohibit access to tobacco for people under 19 years of age. Children and youth who do not start using tobacco are less likely to start smoking later in life.”

The Smoke-Free Ontario Act bans the public display of tobacco products prior to purchase and prohibits the sale or supply of tobacco products to persons under the age of 19.

Under the Act, tobacco vendors who have two or more convictions within a five-year period for selling tobacco to persons younger than 19 years of age are subject to an automatic prohibition.

This prohibits the vendor from selling or storing tobacco products on the premises and bans tobacco wholesalers or distributors from delivering tobacco products to the vendor for the period of time of the ban.

To report a tobacco vendor selling tobacco products to underage youth, contact York Region Public Health at 1-800-361-5653 or TTY 1-866-512-6228. All calls are confidential.

Historic Richmond Hill: 4 places where history lies beneath your feet

BY KIM ZARZOUR

kzarzour@yrmg.com

Ever wonder who came here before you?

Beneath the ground, below the bustling pavement and sidewalks and subdivisions of booming Richmond Hill, lies a world of hidden history — and starting this weekend, you can learn all about it.

Over the next four Saturdays, four troves of historic treasure will be unveiled as part of a speaker series at the Richmond Hill Public Library.

“Archeology in York Region” will feature four veteran Ontario archaeologists who will share what they know about digs and excavations that have taken place in Richmond Hill and the surrounding area.

Ronald Williamson, chief architect at Archeological Services Inc. in Toronto, will be talking about the ossuary — a burial site for 15th century native Canadians — uncovered at Teston Road and Jane Street in nearby Vaughan.

“Indigenous history is invisible to most people and most people like to connect to the land they live

You may have driven by this large, white boulder at Jane and Teston Road in Vaughan many times and not known that it is an indigenous ossuary. A four-part lecture series will start this weekend at Richmond Hill Public Library about the history beneath our feet. on,” he said.

Newcomers, he said, seem to be particularly interested in learning about the history of their chosen community.

“I’ve found immigrants care more deeply even than long-term

residents, because they are very connected to the land and have a stronger sense of the land around them.”

Participants in the lecture series will gain insight into early history, from communities built centuries

ago, to local life in the 19th century, focusing on these four specific locations: • Teston Road Ossuary: When construction workers expanded Teston Road in Vaughan in 2005, they unearthed human remains that turned out to be part of a burial site for a Huron-Wendat village, circa 1450. These First Nation people lived in large communities for 20 or more years and when they moved on, they put the bodies of all those who’d died into a large pit, a kind of “community of the dead,” Williamson said, “and they cared for the landscape because these are places where the souls of their ancestors are.”

• The Over Site: In the early 15th century, an Iroquoian village was located near Yonge Street and Hwy. 7. Dana Poulton, the consulting archaeologist on the site’s 1993 excavation, will describe what was found at the site, including long houses, and explain what life was like.

• The Wise Family Cemetery: This burial area, located at Boake Trail and Mandarin Court, was discovered in 1986, before the Bay-

Dr. Robert Pearce, who directed the excavation, will talk about what archeologists do when they find historic family cemeteries.

• The Vanderburgh House: This home was relocated from its original site east of Yonge on Observatory Lane in 1987. Archeologists involved in the dig found evidence of former noteworthy inhabitants, including Captain James Fulton, along with animal burial sites and artifacts from homesteading in the 1830s.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Richmond Hill Home for Sale

Richmond Hill - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection.

If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11

items could cost you dearly in terms of repair.

That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1- 800-324-3520 and enter 3003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Providing the compassionate and professional services the community deserves for over 130 years.

Since this story was published online, many residents have weighed in on social media with their views — pro and con. Here’s a sampling of what’s been said on Facebook: “I agree with the need to revitalize the area but I cannot get over the price tag and reasoning behind moving city hall.

Traffic congestion aside, the feasibility study I read many years ago had very few net benefits other than bringing the town hall closure to the centre of town.”

- Mike Bowcott “I’d really like to see this back in central Richmond Hill. It’s where it belongs. And, if they can expand our excellent library, that is icing on the cake. It would also allow groups from the community space to hold meetings and presentations. If most of the money has been saved, all well and good.

Our population has grown and so has our tax base.”

- Mary Lynn Mulroney “If you mean to build a city hall, you should totally FORGET IT.What a WASTE of MONEY. Please remember it is taxpayer money first and foremost. Secondly, if it decided to be built, then construct on vacant industrial land. Public buildings do not belong on the highest most valuable locations.”

- Rick Fine

“Not keen on another administrative building and moving out of existing facilities. The cost of relocating does not make sense. Maybe a smaller satellite building with an office for the Mayor and general enquiries but the rest should be space for the community, shops, restaurants, art gallery & Scramble crossing at the intersection of Major Mac/Yonge and dedicated left and right turn lanes so traffic can flow.... a dream!”

- KitJack Leong “This looks great and will bring more people to downtown and hopefully downtown will improve along with it once there are more customers. It would be so neat if it had spaces for artists and musicians like the new one in Vaughan that even provides 2 hours of time in recording studios to local residents. The amphitheatre is very cool.”

- Megan Alexander-Lui - Kim Zarzour

Three-quarters of funds in reserves From page 1.

favour of the project.

Ward 1 Councillor Greg Beros was the sole dissenting vote, suggesting the town could save money by scrapping the idea of a new town hall on the property and reconfiguring or adding to the offices currently located on the border of Markham and Richmond Hill.

“We will consider all options for financing this project and whatever decisions we make

will be in the best interest of the community,” Barrow said. “We are committed to being fiscally responsible through wise management of our reserves and we have a capital fund plan for the future.”

Richmond Hill currently has about three quarters of the estimated budget in reserves.

Staff is expected to present a draft financial plan with options to fund the remaining portion, along with a timeline for the new project, in 2017.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY: Council voted last week to expand the current Central library facility (at left) and move town offices (below) from the current location on East Beaver Creek Road at Hwy. 7, back to the centre of town, on the southwest corner of Yonge and Major Mackenzie, as part of a civic square, reflecting pool/skating rink and amphitheatre civic precinct project.

“I believe that it is a very good investment that will enrich our Town and hence, attract people and businesses to further add to our economic tax base.This is not a type of facility that should be tucked away, it is a showcase, and it must be on a major transit line.”

5 things about annual Terry Fox Run On Sunday, Sept. 18 people from across the country will gather in their respective communities to take part in the Terry Fox Run to raise money for cancer research.

The race is accessible to everybody with no entry fee, no minimum pledge and a noncompetitive atmosphere. Participants can run, walk, blade or bike.

Here are five things to know about the Terry Fox Run this year.

- Simon Martin

1

The Terry Fox Run takes place in more than 9,000 communities across Canada. York Region has 11 locations for the run including Georgina, East Gwillimbury, King City, Newmarket, Aurora, Stouffville, Oak Ridges, Richmond Hill, Woodbridge, Markham-Unionville and Thornhill. If you want to find out more information about your local run, visit www.terryfox.org/Run/Find_A_Runsite

2

Millions of students from across the country also get involved through their schools, which host the Terry Fox School run every year. Terry Fox ran the equivalent of a marathon a day for 143 days during his 3,339-mile Marathon of Hope. Some schools try to equal that mark through a collective effort of its student body.

More than three million students and educators took part in the first national school run day in 2005. A record $45 million was raised that year. This year’s suggested school date is Sept. 29.

3

In 1981, the first Terry Fox Run was held at more than 760 sites in Canada and around the world. The event attracted 300,000 participants and raised $3.5 million. Thirty-six years later, the run has raised more than $700 million for cancer research.

4

There are 14 schools in Canada named after Terry Fox, including Terry Fox Public School in Newmarket. There are 15 roads in Canada named after Fox, including Terry Fox Street in Markham. A nine-foot Terry Fox statue is located in Thunder Bay where Fox’s run ended Sept. 1, 1980. Another statue is located in Richmond Hill at Ransom Park on Yonge Street, that he ran past in his original run.

5

When Terry Fox finally stopped running in Thunder Bay, he left this message for Canadians in his media conference. “That’s the thing about cancer. I’m not the only one, it happens all the time to people. I’m not special. This just intensifies what I did. It gives it more meaning. It’ll inspire more people… I just wish people would realize that anything’s possible if you try. When I started this run, I said that if we all gave $1, we’d have $22 million for cancer research, and I don’t care, man, there’s no reason that isn’t possible. No reason.”

A home on Sunset Beach Road in Oak Ridges (below) had to be demolished after a fire Sunday, while nearby another vacant house displays future development signs.

kzarzour@yrmg.com

A vacant house is being torn down in Oak Ridges after it was engulfed in flames early Sunday morning.

Richmond Hill Fire and Emergency Services were called to a house on Sunset Beach Road at 3:55 a.m. Sunday for a fully involved vacant house fire.

The fire was fought from exterior positions only and there were no injuries, according to Deputy Fire Chief Shane Caskanette.

Damage to the house, which was slated for demolition, is estimated at $25,000.

Richmond Hill fire investigations unit is probing the cause of the fire.

Sunset Beach Road was closed between Dunn Drive and Douglas Road.

Town staff assisted Richmond Hill firefighters with heavy equipment to bring down the structure as the house was not safe as it currently stood, Caskanette said.

Four engines, one rescue truck, one aerial, 22 firefighters and two chief officers worked with York Regional Police and York EMS to resolve the incident.

Vacant homes on land waiting for development approvals raises concerns in many neighbourhoods.

New carpool lot in plans for Hwy. 404 and Major Mackenzie

GROWING WOMEN’S HEALTH We believe you’re at your best when you LOVE. YOU. Share the love and give for a healthier community.

York Region commuters may soon have a new carpool parking lot located at Hwy. 404 and Major Mackenzie Drive East in the Town of Richmond Hill.

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation project will also include realignment of the southbound access ramp to Hwy. 404,

according to Sandra Sadek, project manager with the ministry.

The provincial government is undertaking a detail design and class environmental assessment and there will be opportunities for the public and interested parties to discuss the project with the project team, Sadek said last month in a report to York regional council.

If your weekend activities include a splash in Richmond Hill’s Wave Pool, you’ll be out of luck for a few months.

The popular facility and only indoor wave pool within the Greater Toronto Area is closed from Sept. 6 to Dec. 9 for the replacement of the water slide, the wave machine and installation of LED lighting.

Renovations to the facility at Yonge and Major Mackenzie will cost an estimated $1.15 million, and when it reopens it will also feature new programs, including inner-

tube waterpolo, mermaid swims, snorkelling and underwater hockey, according to town spokesperson Lynn Chan.

The Lois Hancey Aquatic Centre, named after former Regional Councillor Lois Hancey who helped bring the first pool to Richmond Hill, opened to the public in 1991 featuring a pool with indoor wave action and a 160-foot water slide.

The popular water slide is now 25 years old.

A staff report released earlier this year said the slide has now reached the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced.

The Liberal, Thursday, SEP 15, 2016, 16 NS

by DUNCAN FLETCHER Kira Isabella is brightening Canada’s country music scene.

To the stage she brings fresh, powerful lyrics, a great musical sensibility, and a deep connection with her fans. She’s feisty. She’s seasoned. And this 22-year-old, Ottawa-raised, rising star exudes a solid confidence that fuels her artistic core.

And why shouldn’t she be confident? With looks and a voice that turn heads, backed by a career that includes two full-length albums – 2012’s Love Me Like That and 2014’s Caffeine & Big Dreams, tours with country heavyweights like Terri Clark and Carrie Underwood, awards and nominations including two JUNO nods, garnering Canadian Country Music Association awards for Female Artist of the Year (2013) and Rising Star (2012), and standout performances at music festivals across the country, she has every reason to radiate confidence.

When you dig deeper you discover that her self-assurance is fed, not by accolades and external hype, but by a quiet, internal understanding that she’s doing exactly what she was meant to do – make and perform music.

For Isabella, that realization of purpose settled in at the tender age of seven. Supported from the start by a music-loving family that included a farmgirl mom and a guitar-playing Air Force dad who shuttled her around the province to play, she would pick up the guitar and sing for whoever would listen. But playing wasn’t enough. Isabella vividly remembers a tingling feeling that came over her as a child while she watched performers at a music festival. She remembers saying to herself, “I want to be up there.”

She confides that even as an adult, being in the crowd makes her feel anxious, but being on stage – terrifying to many – is as liberating today as it seemed when she was a young girl.

Isabella’s music-filled home exposed her to classic country music, including strong female singers like Patsy Cline. Later on, modern artists like Shania Twain and Sheryl Crow would also influence her. While a traditional country sound certainly infuses the Isabella experience, she notes that diverse pop acts such as Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Sum 41, Blink 182 and even Michelle Branch added to the mix as well. Faint echoes of their styles touch the original songs that Isabella pens.

The writing bug, like the performing one, also bit her early. As a child she often transformed her poems and stories into songs that she would then perform for her family. For Isabella, writing has always been an organic experience that allows her to express herself yet doesn’t lend itself to a set formula. No rules. Even now as a well-rounded artist, she still tinkers with the method – sometimes collaborating, sometimes figuring things out on her own – and describes it as “an evolving process.” But it’s always authentically Isabella.

That natural desire to write much of her own material sets her apart from other performers.

But it also ensures that each song – whether traditional country laments like 2011’s Little White Church (written when she was 17), her rousing, barroom-kicker, Shake It If Ya Got It, or her latest single, the pop-infused I’m So Over Getting Over You – are all pieces of who she is, a compelling mix of country, city, tradition, modern, quiet and crazy. Though never in a negative way.

She is the real deal. Isabella cites positivity as key

to her outlook and success, hoping that’s part of what you take away from her music.

“We do a lot of different kinds of songs, but always with a positive message,” she says. She tackles tough issues through her bold and empowering lyrics. “Even (in) a song like Quarterback (dealing with high school humiliation) which I just had to do, there is still a positive message of hope.” The song is a cautionary tale against date rape and cyberbullying.

Isabella’s uplifting authenticity has skyrocketed her career over the past decade, inspired a surging fan base, and created electrifying performances.

When she steps into the spotlight as a headliner on the Flato Markham Theatre stage on Sept. 30, you can see for yourself why Kira Isabella is rocking the country world.

Is she intimidated?

“No,” she laughs. “This is what I’ve been working for.”

Her show is bound to offer an intense and emotional ride for her enthusiastic fans who often see themselves reflected in her music.

“A lot are (females) in their early-to-late 20s,” she explains. “They come with their boyfriends but I see them singing along too.” Fans in their 30s, 40s and beyond are also an increasingly large part of an audience excited to experience a

healthy dose of positivity, authenticity and energy – human qualities that never go out of style.

“I just love when people come out and sing along” she concludes. “I can’t wait to see them.”

The feeling is mutual. They can’t wait to see her.

Because without a doubt, Kira Isabella is finally “up there.”

by PAULA CITRON Choreographer/artistic director Roberto Campanella came to Canada in 1993 from sunny Italy.

ProArteDanza is arguably the finest chamber contemporary ballet company in the country.

Featured at the Flato Markham Theatre on Nov. 4 are Fearful Symmetries, a world premiere by Campanella, and Glumbek’s acclaimed Diversion.

Arts journalist Paula Citron sat down with Campanella to get to know the man behind the dance, and the fall program.

You were born in Rome. How did you get into dance?

I come from a simple family. My dad was a bus driver and my mom a housewife. I was always dancing around the house, destroying things as I went. The doors were my partners. My parents were very supportive. When I was 11, they put me in Scuola Italiana di Danza Contemporanea, one of the best dance schools in Rome.

I understand that you became a successful professional dancer right from the start?

At 17, I joined the school’s dance company,

Compagnia Italiana di Danza Contemporanea.

When I was 21, I auditioned for Compagnia Aterballetto based in Reggio Emilia, the most famous contemporary dance company in Italy with a world-wide reputation.

You co-founded ProArteDanza in 2004. How do you account for the company’s almost instantaneous success?

First of all, we were able to attract great dancers and great choreographers from among our colleagues in both the ballet and contemporary dance scenes. They believed in our contemporary ballet mandate of fusing the two worlds of dance – performing modern/contemporary movement layered over a strong ballet technique.

ProArteDanza is a repertory company that attracts talent.

Besides your teaching and choreographic careers, you also have what you call your “parallel life”.

That’s right. I have found a niche as both a movement coordinator and choreographer for film, television and video games. Since 2003, I’ve worked on series such as The Expanse and The

Strain, films that include Pompeii and Beauty and the Beast, and video games like Silent Hill and Far Cry Primal. This keeps me very busy.

Let’s talk about the program ProArteDanza is performing on the fall tour. You’ve called the choreographies “the two big monsters”.

Robert and I usually co-choreograph, but this time we’re each showcasing a piece. The company usually presents shorter works so having just two big pieces on the program is a new format for us.

What inspired your new piece “Fearful Symmetries”?

I love silent movies, especially the films of Buster Keaton. I happened to stumble on a video where someone had put Buster Keaton movies together with the John Adams music, and that’s when I realized that the speed and hectic movement of silent films is the life that I live, a life on the run. The piece is characterized by physicality, musicality and drive. It captures the rhythms of an over-busy urban lifestyle. The choreography, inspired by silent movies, is fast and stunt-ish.

Robert Glumbek is retooling Diversion for

ten dancers. This insightful piece explores the diversions that take our lives off course – the different directions that hinder relationships, the diversions that lead to loss, isolation and loneliness.

Robert is a master at expressing humanity through movement. His work is also incredibly physically demanding. The electronic score is by the British ambient-music trio Marconi Union.

How would you define the choreographic signatures of both you and Robert?

Robert is known for his intricate development of construction, and how his movement patterns evolve naturally out of the group. I’m more architectural in structure with a more classical aspect. I’m also in your face while Robert is more sophisticated and subtle. Both of us like to take dancers to the upper limit of vulnerability. Because we co-choreograph so often, this program will reveal how much of me is in Robert’s piece, while I have a lot of Robert in mine.

Monday marked the return of Tim Hortons annual Smile Cookie campaign running until Sept. 18 in participating restaurants across York Region and Canada.

During this year’s campaign, customers can purchase a freshly baked chocolate chunk Smile Cookie for $1 plus tax, with the full $1 being donated by Tim Hortons Restaurant owners to support charities, hospitals and community programs.

A little smile goes a long way. Funds raised in Richmond Hill, Thornhill and Vaughan go to the York chapter of Autism Ontario, while smile funds in Aurora and Newmarket support Community Living Newmarket-Aurora.

Kicking off this week’s Smile cookie campaign for charity is Lynda Beedham, Autism Ontario representative, and Tom Babic, regional manager of Tim Hortons.

Your $1 cookie will support hospitals, food banks and York charities.

In Markham and Stouffville, funds raised at Tim Horton outlets support the Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation, while in King City and Nobleton, Smile Cookie funds support King Township Food bank and Nobleton Kids.

New this year, Tim Hortons has introduced an alternative way to take part in the Smile Cookie campaign.

Guests can now show support with the purchase of a Smile Cookie car decal for $1 plus tax, with the full $1 going to local charities.

Girls invited to Come Try Ringette

By SCOTT THOMPSON

Come Try Ringette is a free event for girls 5 to 9 years of age looking for a sport where they can have fun, make new friends and become great skaters.

The Richmond Hill Ringette Association hosts its seventh free trial event on Sunday, Sept. 25 where beginners are always welcome. It is intended for children who have not played ringette before.

Participants play and learn with girls their own age, partake in planned onice activities, led by qualified instructors in a safe environment and enjoy fun off-ice activities and refreshments. Participants even get a loot bag, too.

Skates, helmet, winter coat, snow pants and warm mittens are required.

The fun takes place from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at Tom Graham Arena, 1300 Elgin Mills Rd. E. (near Leslie).

Mike McRae brought his daughter Marisa to a Come try Ringette several years ago.

“My daughter had

uReport

taken a couple of skating lessons, but never considered a sport like ringette until she watched some of the girls on the ice and was hooked. Over the years, she has developed outstanding skating skills and numerous friendships that have continued since enrolling in Richmond Hill Ringette’s developmental programs,” said McRae. “The sport has also provided a foundation for learning valuable teamwork skills, as well as the value of hard work and commitment. For us, as parents, it has provided a great recreational and social experience.”

Pre-registration is required. For details or to register, visit www. rhringette.com or contact CTR volunteers at cometryringette@rhringette.com or call 905-237-1832.

Tips for properly maintaining your new home Buying a new home has many advantages, including being able to enjoy the newest in appliances, finishes, and building innovations. But even though your home may be brand new, it still requires maintenance. This not only helps ensure that your new home stays in top shape — it protects your warranty rights too.

All new homes in Ontario come with a warranty that lasts up to seven years from the date of possession that is guaranteed

by Tarion. The warranty covers almost everything inside and outside the home, from defects in workmanship to Ontario building code violations and major structural defects.

But homeowners must do their part too by making sure their new home does not fall into disrepair, as the Tarion warranty only covers defects caused by the builder.

Doing-it-yourself is easy with

these expert tips to get your new home prepared for the coming cold weather.

OUTSIDE YOUR HOME: • Check all windows and doors for cracks around the framing.

Have any cracks or material separations re-caulked.

• Check the weather stripping on exterior doors, including the garage door. Make sure they’re not damaged or worn and will keep in the warm air come December.

• Have your roof inspected professionally to ensure shingles, flashing, and chimney caps are in place and sealed properly.

Have them inspect the gutters too.

• Clear leaves from eaves troughs and downspouts and repair any cracks or seam separations with caulking. Check all downspouts for damage.

• Shut off your home’s exterior

water supply and drain exterior water lines, including taps in the garage, especially if it’s an unheated space. Leave the taps open a bit to ensure any trapped or remaining water will not freeze and damage the water supply line. This should also be done with any irrigation systems or water features like ponds or fountains.

INSIDE YOUR HOME: • Test all smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.

• Clean and test all exhaust fans, including dryer, stove, and furnace vents.

• Check your sump-pump float and discharge line and test overall operation.

• Install a protective winter cover on your air conditioning unit if recommended by the manufacturer.

• Clean or replace your furnace filters.

• Clean and turn on the humidifier and heat recovery ventilator (HRV).

• Have your furnace serviced by a professional.

• Inspect your fireplace and chimney dampers and service or clean if necessary — this applies to gas and wood burning fireplaces.

• Winterize your landscape by storing outdoor furniture and covering plants.

BY MICHAEL HAYAKAWA

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

When Jake Fromowitz took to the fairways for the golf competition at the recent JCC Maccabi Games and Artfest in Stamford, Ct., he didn’t know what to expect.

After all, it was the first time the 16-year-old Richmond Hill resident participated in the games, a Jewish multisport event that includes a

variety of sports and draws competitors from across the United States, Canada and abroad.

But when the golf event concluded, Fromowitz was glad he participated after claiming the silver medal in the 15-16 Boys Division.

Earning a berth in the competition based on his golf resume, which took into consideration his previous tournament scores and a playing

handicap of eight, Fromowitz was not the least bit disappointed in not winning his age group title.

While setting an objective to just being competitive on the links, what Fromowitz drew most from the event and games overall was the manner in which they were conducted.

That being to provide the participants a competitive, but fun environment.

“I wanted to try and play a consistent, well-rounded game,� the Thornhill Club member said. “But more importantly I wanted to have fun and absorb as much of the experience as I could.�

A Grade 11 student at Westmount Collegiate and golfing for the better part of five years, Fromowitz was quick to point out he gets more out of the game than just trying to record

pars, birdies, eagles or even a hole in one and avoid bogeys. “I think golf is a great game that teaches you some of the most important life-long lessons such as honesty, integrity and keeping your composure,� he cited. “Overall I had a great weekend in Stamford and the silver medal helped aid an already fun experience.�

NEITZERT, Robert The much loved Robert “Ribsy” Neitzert completed his journey on Saturday, September 10, 2016 at 8 p.m., surrounded by his parents and siblings. The life-loving and proud uncle Robert will be deeply missed by his parents, Gisela and Fred Neitzert, his siblings, Frank, Monica, Christina and Tanya, his siblings in-law Martha, Donovan, Martin and James, his nieces and nephews Daniel, Ehren, Oliver, Charlotte, Rachel, Mia, Nicholas and Chloé and his amazing caregivers and friends. Robert was born in 1960 with Down Syndrome.

Despite the contemporary doctor recommendation of institutionalization, his parents insisted on joining the newer movement of home care and integration. As a result, Robert was raised as part of his loving family, graduated from high school, worked, participated in community life, camped and travelled extensively.

He will be fondly remembered for his loving spirit, his independence, his dependability, his love of Anne Murray, and his unique outlook on life. A celebration of Robert’s life will be held on October 1, 2016 at 11 a.m. at the Christ the King-Dietrich Bonhoeffer Lutheran Church at 189 Baythorn Drive, Thornhill, Ontario. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Community Living Newmarket/ Aurora district (www.clnad.com) who provided exceptional support and care over the years.
