Vaughan brothers Davide (left) and Bruno Codispoti, masterminds behind Crazy Uncle line of beverages, have launched a new Hard Root Beer.
STAFF PHOTOS/NICK IWANYSHYN
RIDING HARD ROOT BEER WAVE BY ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS
amartinrobbins@yrmg.com
B
rothers Bruno and Davide Codispoti have tasted success with various ventures over the years, but now the foodie entrepreneurs feel they’ve tapped into a mammoth new trend that has them foaming at the mouth, with excitement. What is it, you ask? Hard (aka alcoholic) root beer, for grownups. “Over the last 20 years, my brother and I have launched over 100 unique products into the grocery and food sector. With each one, you try and predict that trend … and we can say that we’ve never experienced anything like
this,” said Bruno, a Vaughan resident. “Right now, we’re riding at the top of this monster tsunami wave. We don’t know when it’s going to break, but we really hit it.” The brothers, co-founders of 361 Degrees Inc., started out in the food industry about two decades ago and found success by bringing popular restaurant brands into local supermarkets, among them Kernels Popcorn seasonings and Pizza Pizza dipping sauces. About four years ago, they entered the alcoholic beverage market with a line of allnatural, “culinary cocktails” under the Crazy Uncle brand name, which includes Blood Orange Rosemary & Maple Punch and Uber
vious cocktail adventures — for which they 3 teamed up with booze and food experts such as Frankie Solarik, of BarChef, and brothers Michael and Guy Rubino, formerly co-hosts of the Food Network’s Made to Order — they planned to make a tasty, craft soda first then figure out the alcohol base. It took them several months to perfect the recipe. “The common thread has always been, and we’re never going to change that, what we do with Crazy Uncle cocktails is good ingredients, real flavours,” Davide, a Toronto resident, said. “If we’re doing a root beer, we want it to be the best root beer, not just getting on the trend and trying to put a root beer out there in time to be part of the trend.” Crazy Uncle Hard Root Beer features flavours of sarsaparilla, sweet birch, wintergreen and licorice root with a creamy vanilla finish. It’s not overly sweet and is softly carbonated. Unlike many other hard root beers, which use malted barley to essentially create a flavoured beer, Crazy Uncle’s 5-per-cent alcohol kick comes from vodka so as not to detract from the other flavours. “We worked to make sure that there was a nice balance,” Bruno said. “As foodies, we look at how that beverage tastes at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of that flavour experience.” As with their other “ready-to-drink” cocktails, they wanted to produce an all-natural beverage with no preservatives and no artificial flavours or colours. So, for instance, they used cane sugar rather than glucose or high fructose corn syrup to sweeten it. And they pasteurized their root beer, eliminating the need for artificial preservatives. Instead of a moonshine-jug, Crazy Uncle Hard Root Beer comes in a 473 ml beige can featuring a faceless man sporting a bowler hat with Crazy Uncle written on it, a handle bar moustache dripping with foam and a monocle. It sells here for $2.95 per can. And, so far, it’s proving extremely popular. “During Crazy Uncle Hard Root Beer’s brief time in market, this product has already made quite a name for itself,” Jeryca Dillas, LCBO’s product manager ready to drink, wrote in an email. “With over 2,650 cases sold and net sales greater than $160,000 since its late-April release, it’s safe to say that this is a cooler with a strong following. Existing ready-to-drink consumers and those new to the wonderful
Caesar best recognized by their signature onelitre, moonshine-type jugs. Last year, the Codispotis, who are constantly tracking hot food and beverage trends, noticed hard root beer was taking the American booze market by storm. It started with Not Your Father’s Root Beer, produced by Illinois-based craft brewer Small Town Brewery and several other players, including giants such as Anheuser-Busch, quickly jumped on the bandwagon. The Codispotis decided to create their own version, Crazy Uncle Hard Root Beer, in hopes the trend would catch fire in Canada. Using what they’d learned from their pre-

The accused began working as a trainer with a hockey team in Woodbridge and, in
this role, met the victim, then a 12-year-old boy. The accused allegedly befriended the boy and drove him home from the arena numerous times, sexually assaulting him during several of these trips. The accused also took the boy on a trip to the accused’s family home in Quebec and to a cottage in Huntsville. The accused allegedly sexually assaulted the boy on each of
those trips. The accused turned himself in to police June 14 and is charged with offences under the Criminal Code as it read at the time of the incidents. Investigators with the York Regional Police Special Victims Unit – Crimes Against Children Section are encouraging any other possible victims to come forward. The accused will appear before the Ontario Court of
Justice in Newmarket July 19. Nicolas Cadorette, 67, of Abbotsford, B.C., is charged with two counts of indecent assault male and two counts of gross indecency. Anyone with information is asked to call the York Regional Police Special Victims Unit – Crimes Against Children Section at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7071, or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800222-TIPS.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE #2 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDY Huntington Road From Langstaff Road to McGillivray Road (Part A) and From Major Mackenzie Drive to Nashville Road (Part B) STUDY BACKGROUND The City of Vaughan has initiated a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for road improvements along Huntington Road to accommodate population and employment growth in western Vaughan. The proposed road improvements are consistent with objectives outlined in the Vaughan Transportation Master Plan (2013). The Class EA study area consists of two separate sections to account for the planned termination of Huntington Road at McGillivray Road: • Part A – between Langstaff Road and McGillivray Road; • Part B – between Major Mackenzie Drive and Nashville Road. The separation of the study area and the termination of Huntington Road at McGillivray Road are the result of the planned extension of Highway 427 that will pass through Huntington Road and include a new interchange at Major Mackenzie Drive. STUDY PROCESS The Class EA process includes public and review agency consultation, evaluation of alternatives, assessment of impacts of the proposed improvements and identification of measures to mitigate any adverse impacts. Upon completion of the study, an Environmental Study Report will be filed for public record. PUBLIC CONSULTATION – YOU ARE INVITED Public consultation is a key component of this study. The project team has been committed to meaningfully engaging the public and review agencies in determining the preferred solution. The first Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on November 25, 2014, where the project team introduced the study, provided background information on studies related to the undertaking, presented the preliminary problem statement and established a stakeholder contact list for future consultation. Based on feedback from the first PIC, the project team has identified and evaluated alternative designs for both sections of the study area and has recommended the following preliminarily road improvements: • Part A: Widen Huntington Road from two to four lanes, including a multi-use path to accommodate cycling and walking • Part B: Maintain two lanes of traffic and urbanize the roadway while providing a multi-use path You are invited to attend the second and final PIC, where the preliminary recommended design concepts and supporting information will be available for review. The PIC will be held as a drop-in session that will provide the opportunity to review display boards and converse with City staff and members of the consultant team. Details of this event are as follows:
Date:
Wednesday June 29th, 2016
Time:
5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Unionville Festival ticketing disgraceful
Technology? Meet activity
t seems we are the lethargic victims of our over-active technological appetites. This is especially the case when it comes to our sluggish, lackadaisical kids. ParticipACTION — a non-profit national organization that encourages physical activity and overall healthy living — released its latest study last week, and to say the results are alarming, would be a gross understatement. The group’s latest findings are that children are not getting enough sleep because they don’t get enough activity during the day to make them tired. The group also found children spend way too much time staring at computers and mobile device screens — which keeps them indoors, sitting for long periods of time — and away from the movement, fresh air and social interaction their growing bodies and minds so desperately need. The most disturbing discovery is children are sleep deprived, which sets off a downward spiral, making them less active and lazy from the minute they awake. This should set off an alarm clock for adults who care for, nurture and supervise today’s youngsters. We must kick out of bed this disturbing trend where it’s now the norm for children to be sluggish and unmotivated. This is the part where I could preach about how my generation — which grew up in the 1960s and ’70s — was outside playing at the crack of dawn each day; swimming at the beach, popping flies on the baseball field or hanging upside down at the park, only to return hours later for supper and then fall, exhausted, into bed. But I won’t do that. It’s a much different world out there today and, because of that, we have to re-invent how to live in the 21st century. We need to find that balance between our brain’s thirst for technological discovery and our inherent need for physical activity and stimulation. We need to look to educators to take the first crucial steps to reconciling the mess we’ve all created. The good news is, there are emerging clues that we are starting to turn the tide on our over-indulgent, dozing, lazy lifestyles, but it’s coming at a snail’s pace. Communities, for example,
Tracy Kibble are being designed to incorporate more active lifestyles, encouraging families to get out of their vehicles and into the sunshine. And many young parents are starting to head outdoors with their children to promote that balance of physical and intellectual bonding and play. Here’s a few suggestions to keep the momentum going: • Ensure every public school in Ontario has at least one teacher on staff with a degree and/or training in physical education: a majority of teachers don’t have the slightest idea how to get children moving and have little knowledge about the science of how young bodies work and flourish. • Make physical and health education part of our school curriculum from Grade 1, so that children learn to appreciate and value, at a very young age, how energy, team-building sports and rampedup metabolisms make for sharper minds and better night’s sleeps. • Make physical education a three-credit course in high school. As it is now, only one credit is required and, after that, most students, especially girls, never see a gym class for the next three years. • Finally, and this is the most important suggestion: parents must limit screen time to no more than a few hours each day. Studies show only 24 per cent of five to 17-year-olds meet the Canadian Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines recommendation of no more than two hours of recreational screen time per day, according to a Canadian Health Measures 2012 survey. How many more studies need there be, before leaders stand up and make the responsible and necessary changes to save an entire generation from myriad health problems, such as sleep deprivation, diabetes and hyper-tension, to name a few? There’s been enough talk. It’s time to wake up.
I have had the pleasure of living in Unionville and attending the Unionville Festival for the past 30 years. It is a huge draw to Unionville and people drive from all over Toronto and the GTA. On the Saturday of the festival, I was walking along Carlton Road and witnessed some rather surprising behavior by two City of Markham employees. They were ticketing cars parked along Carlton Road in front of Toogood Pond. Shame on you, City of Markham! I’m all for following the “posted signs”, which did state no parking. However, in this instance
Carlton Road was closed and the only traffic going through was to get to the festival itself. I’m ashamed at the money grab from the city on what was supposed to be a community event. Someone from the City of Markham instructed those employees to ticket those cars on THAT day at THAT time. Exceptions can always be made when common sense prevails. Recently, the festival has had issues with raising money and has been unable to provide the fireworks on Saturday evening and most recently, was unable to have the family treasure hunt this year. Maybe the city can give the money they made off the parking tickets to help fund those events at next

Woodbridge, Richmond Hill men newest lotto winners
Dayanand Ramdehalchand won $51,000 in Lotto 6/49.
Two lucky York Region residents picked up lottery winnings in recent days. Franco Bisceglia of Woodbridge is planning a trip to Italy after winning $100,000 in the June 2 Daily Keno draw. “I bought my winning ticket just before going on vacation to Florida,” shared Bisceglia while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to picked up his cheque. “I left the ticket sitting in my truck the whole time, not realizing I was going to find out I was a winner when I got home.” When he got back home from Florida he took some lottery tickets to have them
scanned in the ticket checker. “I thought I saw $100 flash on the screen. After scanning the ticket again I saw the words, ‘Big Winner.’ That’s when I knew it was a much bigger win.” The father of two tucked his ticket back into his pocket and said nothing. “That night, my wife, sons, daughters-in-law and eight grandchildren got together to watch a soccer game at a restaurant and that’s when I told them. They were so happy, they started hugging and kissing me. And of course, I paid for dinner,” laughed Bisceglia.
“We love to travel and we see ourselves taking an amazing vacation back to Italy to visit family. This is our dream come true.” He purchased his Daily Keno ticket from News West on Langstaff Road in Woodbridge. Richmond Hill’s Dayanand Ramdehalchand is also celebrating after winning $51,029.40 from the June 11 Lotto 6/49 draw. His winning ticket was purchased at Food Basics on Major Mackenzie Drive East in Richmond Hill. For more information, visit olg.ca

A social media debate is raging on Facebook after a woman told police she was punched in the face after honking at an elderly man as he crossed the street. The messages in favour of the man and the driver began to appear after police sought the public’s help identifying him. The incident occurred shortly after 1 p.m. on May 31 when a woman was stopped at a red light on Cordoba Drive/Bathurst Street. Police said a man was seen crossing the intersection and as the light turned green, the man was still walking across the intersection. The woman in the vehicle honked her horn and the man allegedly hit her in the face. Once she stepped out, police said she was assaulted again. In reply to the details one account, registered to Andrew Schuch, suggested the man not only had the right of way, but the driver was being rude in honking. “Talk about road rage. She shouldn’t have honked at him since he still has the right of way right,” he questioned. “Even if it was green for her she still has to wait. Hope someone honks at her when she’s crossing the
street somewhere.” Another account registered to Kathy Bishop suggest that honking at a pedestrian crossing the road was out of order to begin with. “I’m sorry she was injured, but honking at a pedestrian crossing the road is just rude,” she wrote. Others maintained the man was at fault for responding with violence regardless of her behaviour. “Folks...let’s not lose sight of what the real issue is here,” wrote an account registered to Helen Roukas Stamatopoulos. “It’s not about her honking her horn (whether in the right or wrong). It’s about the vicious attack that followed. Let’s cooperate with the police in helping to find this man to prevent a similar incident.” Police have said the victim was not injured and declined medical attention. Anyone with information is asked to contact the York Regional Police No. 4 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-866876-5423, ext.7441, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, by leaving an anonymous tip online at 1800222tips.com or by texting your tip to CRIMES (274637) starting with the word YORK.

Sophia Leblanc, from Vaughan, who won the YCDSB speech contest with her speech on the dangers of social media delivers it to trustees.
Student’s speech on drawbacks of social media is a winner By Adam Martin-Robbins
amartinrobbins@yrmg.com
Many 12-year-olds are too busy posting epic selfies to Instagram, messaging their friends on Snapchat or creating lip syncing videos on Musical.ly to research the risks of sharing too much information about themselves online, but that’s precisely what Sophia Leblanc did. Those efforts, along with her charisma and flair for public speaking, helped the St. Gregory the Great Catholic Academy student garner first place in the junior division of York District Catholic School Board’s annual Oral Communications Contest. “Everybody’s getting Facebook and Instagram, and I thought it would be good to let everyone know what could be happening behind your screen and what’s going on when you’re posting these images and sending them,” Leblanc, a Grade 6 student, said after delivering her speech, entitled Privacy, at special board of trustees meeting June 14. Leblanc’s speech starts out highlighting some of the dangers inherent in sharing too much information on social media, backed up by some powerful real life examples. “Before social media, people expected their lives to be private. People could speak freely, letters were private and embarrassing photos were kept in shoeboxes. It was difficult to find out information about someone you did not know – what they looked like, their age, their preferences, where they lived,” Leblanc said. “Sure, people used to gossip, but even then, unless it hit the newspapers, the damage caused by a malicious rumor or insult was limited. “Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat, have invaded our lives in ways our parents would have never imagined. While we use these apps we freely give out our birthdays, phone numbers, email addresses and schools. We post photos ourselves doing embarrassing things and often allow location services to pinpoint our every move,” she continued. “By giving free access to your social net-
work you can open yourself to being stalked by dangerous individuals. People can find out where you live and when you are not at home. You can become a victim of cyberbullying or an embarrassing video of you can go viral.” But Leblanc didn’t conclude by encouraging people to shut down their accounts; instead she suggested they educate themselves about ways to protect their privacy. To that end, she offered several tips: • Only allow people you actually know to follow you • Turn off location services • Change your passwords often • Don’t post anything embarrassing • Learn to customize your privacy settings so only your closest friends can see your posts “Let’s face it, social media is here to stay,” she said. “We have become comfortable putting our lives on display for the world to see. Now, we can either hide away in a dark cave, away from prying eyes or we can go and explore all the possibilities that the social network has to offer.” Leblanc said she found competing a little nerve-wracking, but also really exciting. She was confident going into the final round where she squared off against seven other contestants from across the region, but “sort of surprised” to win given the other speeches were “really, really good.” Leblanc say that she and some of her peers have changed their online habits as a result of what she learned. “I do use Instagram, but now that I’ve done this research I don’t use it as much and I try to limit myself,” she said. “Some kids were doubting getting Instagram or getting Facebook or other social media apps.” Her speech also provided food for thought to trustees, school board staff and others in the audience. “Sophia, we are all wiser than we were 10 minutes ago,” Diane Murgaski, superintendent of education: curriculum & assessment, said.

Spoil a mosquito’s dinner plans
Fight the bite…
What is West Nile virus?
West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne virus that is spread to humans from the bite of an infected mosquito.
What are the symptoms of West Nile virus?
Most people infected with West Nile virus have no symptoms or have flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches and fatigue. Sometimes West Nile virus can cause severe illness including meningitis and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Symptoms usually develop within two to 15 days of being bitten by an infected mosquito.
Who is at risk for West Nile virus?
Everyone who is outside during the summer months is at risk for West Nile virus and should take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. People with a chronic illness and the elderly should be especially careful.
What York Region is doing…
The York Region West Nile virus Control Plan for 2016 includes mosquito-control activities (larviciding), public education, and mosquito and human surveillance.
What is larviciding?
Larviciding is a low-risk and effective measure for the control of West Nile virus. The slow-release pellet formulation interferes with the mosquito lifecycle, preventing the mosquito larvae from reaching maturity. Larvicide is not sprayed and will be applied into the standing water of catch basins in four phases from June through September.
Will York Region apply larvicide on private property? If you are concerned about catch basins on your property, place a mesh screen over the catch basin to prevent mosquitoes from entering and exiting. A limited number of backyard catch basins located on private property will be treated with larvicide on a case-by-case basis.
What you can do…
Prevention and protection are the best ways to protect yourself and your family from West Nile virus.
Clean up
The best way to keep mosquitoes away is to clean up areas of standing water where they like to breed. Look around your house and property and get rid of places that are “mosquito friendly”. • Clean up and empty containers where water collects such as old tires, tin cans and flower pots • Change water in bird baths weekly • Remove water that collects on pool covers • Turn over items such as wading pools, wheelbarrows and small boats • Clear leaves and twigs from eavestroughs, storm and roof gutters • Unclog drainage ditches so that water flows freely • Make sure swimming pool pumps are circulating water • Clear out dense shrubbery where mosquitoes like to rest • Turn over compost frequently • Check that door and window screens are tight-fitting and in good repair • Drill holes in the bottoms of containers so water cannot collect
Cover up
Mosquitoes are most active between dusk and dawn. Protect yourself and your family • Wear light-coloured, long-sleeved shirts and pants • Consider using federally-registered insect repellents on exposed skin, such as those containing DEET • Always follow product instructions • The concentration of DEET should be no greater than 30 per cent for adults and no greater than 10 per cent for children • DEET-based repellents can also be used on top of clothing. Do not use repellents under clothing • Several DEET-free botanical repellents are federally registered but provide a shorter time of effectiveness
York Region Public Health does not recommend the use of bat boxes as an effective method of mosquito control due to the risk of rabies. In previous summers, some bats in York Region have tested positive for rabies.

The city is looking at redrawing its electoral boundaries in response to the rapid growth that’s happened in Vaughan during the past several years. And the consulting team working on the project wants to hear from you. Three options – aimed at creating an equitable representation system in time for the 2018 municipal election – are currently being weighed. Those options are: • Maintain the current five wards. This would result in an increased average ward population of 71,600, up from 62,800, by 2022. • Maintain current average ward population of 62,800. This would be achieved by creating a sixth ward. • Reduce the number of wards to four. This would
result in an increased average ward population of 89,500. The third option is based on the Ontario Municipal Board’s recognition of the role local and regional councillors play in helping share the workload of local ward councillors, according to a report prepared by the consulting team working on the project. The Region of York is considering increasing the number of regional councillors representing Vaughan to four from the current three. Before a decision is made on the preferred option, the consulting team behind the project – comprised of the Canadian Urban Institute, Beate Bowron Etcetera, The Davidson Group and Hemson Consulting – is seeking feedback from residents. To that end, public meetings have been set, including: • Thursday, June 23 from 7
to 9p.m. in committee room 242 at city hall, 2141 Major Mackenzie Dr. in Maple. • Saturday, June 25 from 10 a.m. until noon in activity room 1 at Al Palladini Community Centre, 9201 Islington Ave., in Woodbridge. • Wednesday, June 29, 7 to 9 p.m at city hall in Room 242. If you can’t attend, you can complete an online survey at http://fluidsurveys. com/s/vaughanwbr-optionssurvey/. A hard copy of the survey can also be filled out at the public meetings. The goal is to identify a preferred option by September. Once that happens, there will be another round of public consultation. A final report, with a recommendation for ward boundary changes, is expected to go before city council in January 2017.

The provincial transit agency is poised to give the green light to a new GO train station in Vaughan’s north end, but some city councillors say a proposed station in the south end should stay on track, too. A report by Metrolinx president and CEO Bruce McCuaig, released Tuesday, recommends a new GO Train station at Kirby Road, near Keele Street, be included in the agency’s 10-year Regional Express Rail program. If built, the station would serve riders on the Barrie GO line that runs downtown to Toronto’s Union Station. “The provincial Growth Plan tells us to build sustainable communities with a focus on transit services. The area around the Kirby GO Station will be a central transit hub with the GO station being the crown jewel of that hub,” Maple/Kleinburg Councillor Marilyn Iafrate, who has been lobbying for a station since 2011 said in a news release. “It has been an amazing and gratifying five years of advocating the need for this station. And just as rewarding is the immense support that I got from residents who recognized the need well before Metrolinx did.” The Kirby Road station is one of five new stations on the Barrie corridor and a dozen across the GO transit network that the report recommends be constructed during the next decade. The four other proposed stations on the Barrie line are at Spadina Avenue and Front Street; Bloor Street and Lansdowne Avenue; Mulock Drive near Bayview Avenue in Newmarket and 6th Line in Innisfil. Metrolinx initially looked at more than 120 potential sites. Those were whittled down to 50 then 24 before the final 12 recommended locations along the Barrie, Kitchener, Lakeshore East and Stouffville lines were arrived at. Among the stations that didn’t make the cut was one at Hwy. 7, near Keele Street, in Concord also along the Barrie line. The reason for that, according to the report, had to do with higher construction costs and the fact ridership is “limited by the new subway to the west.” But Thornhill Councillor Alan Shefman said, while the Kirby station is welcome news, Hwy. 7 near Keele Street is an ideal location for a new GO station because it provides a link to the Spadina Subway extension and York Region’s bus rapid transit line. “I think the Concord GO is a much smarter decision for Vaughan,” he said. “The issue is connectivity. If you look around, we just don’t have it. “ Concord/Thornhill North Councillor Sandra Yeung Racco echoed those comments. “Concord is the major (transit) hub that will connect everything together,” she said. Yeung Racco also noted that, in addition to building a new station in Vaughan, Metrolinx needs to address the severe parking shortage at the two existing stations on Major Mackenzie Drive and Rutherford Road. The Metrolinx board is to make a decision on the report’s recommendations at its June 28 meeting.

Longo’s store repaired, restocked, re-opened By Adam Martin-Robbins
amartinrobbins@yrmg.com
Longo’s east Woodbridge location reopened last week after being shuttered for more than two weeks following a blaze in the potato chip aisle, allegedly started by two teens, estimated to have caused “millions” in damage. A fire erupted and thick smoke quickly spread throughout the 47,000-square-foot grocery store around 7:30 p.m. Sunday, May 29, forcing shoppers and approximately 30 employees to flee the building. “It was a frightening experience. It was a surreal experience (for our staff),” Rosanne Longo, company spokesperson, said during an interview inside the store at Weston and Rutherford roads as shoppers strolled through the aisles loading up their grocery carts.
‘unsung heroes’ “First and foremost, their concern was for the safety of the customers and getting people out of the store safely, including themselves. I think they executed that very well. … The fact nobody was hurt or injured, even getting out, is testament to that. We have a lot of unsung heroes in this story.” The Pet Valu store next door was also evacuated, but none of the other businesses in the bustling plaza — also home to a Tim Hortons, a Shoppers and a McDonald’s restaurant, among others — was impacted. Police later released security video footage showing two suspects, both teenage boys, lighting a bag of chips on fire and putting it back on the rack, then leaving and walking south through the parking lot toward Rutherford. A 15-year-old from Bolton and a 14-year-
old from Vaughan were subsequently charged with arson – disregard for human life. The teenagers, who cannot be identified due to their age, reportedly surrendered to police with lawyers. They were to appear in court. The total cost of damages is still being tallied, Longo said, but it’s projected to be in the millions. The store was relatively new having opened its doors in September 2014, replacing the previous Longo’s location just down the road at Langstaff and Weston Road. It features a Starbucks coffee shop, an eating area and a Wine Shop as well as a salad bar and a kitchen. During the cleanup, the store’s entire inventory and supplies were cleared out. During the shutdown, the store’s 200 employees were offered an opportunity to work at one of Longo’s other locations until the store re-opened, Longo said. “Our team takes such ownership and great pride in what they do that, for them, it was an emotional thing and it was very personal,” she said. “When I said good morning to every department this morning, I said,’ It’s nice to see you.’ And they said back, ‘It’s nice to be home.’” Longo added. She also noted that their customers and the community have been very supportive during the closure. “We’re thankful that our customers stayed loyal to us and it was nice to see their faces at our neighbouring stores,” she said. “When I’ve been listening, as I’ve been walking around, the customers are welcoming our staff back … and our staff (are) saying, ‘It’s nice to see you again.’” - with files from Lisa Queen
framed to allow farmers to fire a gun in order to protect crops, livestock or other property. But, unlike many municipalities with similar regulations, Vaughan doesn’t explicitly limit that right to owners of agricultural land. That means, although it’s an offence under the Criminal Code to discharge a firearm “while being reckless as to the life or safety of another person,” it’s possible to shoot off certain types of guns in a residential area of Vaughan – since it’s not expressly prohibited.
BY ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS

The city is tweaking its firearms bylaw to close a loophole that makes it possible to shoot a gun in residential areas, under certain circumstances. Vaughan’s current bylaw was enacted back in 1986 when the city contained more working farms and fewer subdivisions, according to a staff report tabled at Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting. As in many suburban GTA municipalities, the bylaw was

Other recommended changes include prohibiting the discharge of compound bows and similar weapons such as crossbows and longbows as well as air guns capable of a muzzle velocity exceeding 64.5 metres-per-second. The bylaw provides an exemption for the Maple Lions Club’s annual Christmas Turkey shoot, a local company that performs ballistic tests on its glass products and Canada’s Wonderland, which occasionally uses prop guns that shoot blanks in its shows.

Shortcomings in the city’s bylaw came to light following a controversial African trophy hunting tradeshow in January. The show raised concerns, in part, due to the “possible display” of rifles used to shoot big game, the report says. As a result, York Regional Police recommended the city review its Discharge Firearm bylaw. City staff proposed amending the bylaw to prohibit the discharge of a firearm on any property not zoned agricultural.

Mild hiring climate forecast in York York Region should expect a mild hiring climate for the third quarter of 2016, according to the latest Manpower Employment Outlook survey. Ten per cent of employers are looking to hit new staff between July and September and none plan to cut employees, says Maple Kyriacou of Manpower’s York office. The vast majority — 90 per cent — plan to maintain current staffing levels. Nationally, employment gains are expected to be modest in the third quarter, Darlene Minatel, vice-president of Manpower Canada’s operations and strategic accounts. “However, we are seeing some bright spots,” she said. “The dollar’s prolonged low
has been good news for the manufacturing industry. Increased demand for Canadian exports is a big reason the manufacturingdurables sector is expecting the largest quarterly employment growth of any sector for Q3 (the third quarter).” Public administration is also expected to see strong growth, according to the survey. Overall, the survey of 1,900 employers across Canada revealed 16 per cent plan to hire workers from July to September, while 5 per cent expect cutbacks. About 78 per cent expect their staffing levels to remain the same, while 1 per cent were unsure about their hiring intentions. — Lisa Queen

your grandkids are going to have a lot more difficult time finding single-family housing because of affordability…I’m really nervous in what’s coming forward and I hope decisions will be made that will allow York Region to develop in an orderly fashion but to continue developing and I’m not sure that is going to happen with these new rules.” Last month, former municipal affairs minister Ted McMeekin announced the province is moving to increase intensification targets so that at least 60 per cent of all new residential development will be built in already established communities. The current target is 40 per cent. More intensification will result in less urban sprawl, more compact and livable communities and will support investments in public transit, McMeekin said. The province has set a Sept. 30 deadline for comments on the growth plan and greenbelt plan, prompting councillors and developers to pledge to use the summer to try to convince the province to rethink its ambitious proposal. “They (provincial officials) are a little bit removed from it because they are operating at 40,000 feet. Sometimes, they have to land on the ground to figure out exactly how these things function,” Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua said, adding the issue will foster important discussions among key players over the next three months. “This action by the province will, obviously, literally alter the landscape of our communities.” Earlier this year, York councillors rejected a pitch from regional planning officials to bump
the intensification target here to 45 per cent, arguing that would go too far in changing the region’s traditional housing landscape. Critics of the province’s plan also argue building fewer traditional “ground-level” housing options will send already soaring housing prices out of the reach of even more residents as demand will far outstrip supply. And while the province has come up with a proposal that sounds good on paper, it has left it up to municipalities to implement a plan that will bring many challenges, said Paula Tenuta, vice-president of policy and government relations with the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD). “It’s clear that the province has left this in the hands of municipalities to figure much of this out. What is needed, perhaps, is an advisory group made up of municipal representatives to show the province if it’s feasible or not,” she said. “For us at BILD, it’s not a low-rise versus high-rise versus mid-rise versus mixed-use conversation. It’s about housing affordability and choice. We feel the proposed amendments may eventually limit that housing choice for the residents of York Region.” East Gwillimbury Mayor Virginia Hackson said the public has no idea what is being proposed. Vaughan Councillor Mario Ferri agreed. “This will have a fundamental shift and a fundamental change in our communities and I think it’s incumbent on those who are designing this to engage and inform those that are going to be affected,” he said. “Now, there may be great support for this and that’s fine but the fact remains that the public is not aware and is not as informed as I believe they should be.”

York Regional Police feted for social media campaign By Jeremy Grimaldi
jgrimaldi@yrmg.com
When it comes to altering habits around impaired driving, communication is key. After all, it was the drunk driving campaigns of the 1990s and early 2000s that
saw the numbers of those caught impaired behind the wheel plummet. But in the last few years, York Region has seen those numbers rise again – by an eye-popping 45 per cent between 2013 and 2015.
That’s what makes the #Imthatperson campaign by the York Regional Police all the more impactful. Rolled out at Newmarket’s Sacred Heart Catholic High School in November 2015, the social media-based effort

encouraged young and old to be “that person” to take an impaired individual’s keys, to call a taxi for those who shouldn’t get behind the wheel and to alert 911 when they see an impaired driver on the road. “We were sitting around the table thinking, ‘Why do we do what we do?’” Sgt. Karen Hodge said. “Each of us have our own story (about impaired driving) that brought us here. It’s about being that person who is willing to take that stand, so there will be no regrets, no tragedies at the end of the day.” The effort paid off June 16 when the York Regional Police traffic bureau was handed the Traffic Initiative of the Year award by the Ministry of Transportation. “The campaign focused on shifting the mindset that impaired driving is not just the responsibility of law enforcement — that we all play very important roles in creating safer roads,” Sgt. Kelly Bachoo said. The award is a boon to a force that has struggled over

Although the number of arrests have been rising since 2013, they’ve ballooned over the past year, despite the death of four members of the Neville-Lake family in Vaughan. “Personally, feeling the tragedy that night and being with the family through the court proceedings and feeling the effects impaired driving has on people’s lives, you
begin to wonder what don’t these people get?” questioned Const. Andy Pattenden. “I don’t think people are putting themselves in that position, they must never think that they will kill a family, be caught by RIDE or stopped by an officer.” Figures show 2016, which has seen 674 people nabbed for drinking and driving so far, is shaping up to be one of the worst years. In 2015, police nabbed 1,255 people.

Residents voice objections to Sobeys plaza redevelopment “Go back to the drawing board”. This was the message residents had for RioCan at a public hearing at Vaughan City Hall Tuesday night. The hearing related to the proposed redevelopment of Springfarm Marketplace, known as Sobey’s Plaza at the corner of Clark and Hilda avenues in Thornhill. Council chambers were so filled residents were sitting on steps or standing in the aisles or gathered in an overflow room. Residents criticized the closing of the plaza’s Hilda Street entrance, the height of the

proposed 20-storey condo building and what they said was a failure to abide by Vaughan’s official plan and existing bylaws. They also lamented the conduct of RioCan, saying the company did not listen to public feedback on proposed changes to the plaza. After presentations from the public, David McKay, a planning consultant for RioCan said: “Some aspects, we didn’t realize or look at. We will work together on the proposal.” He added: “They (RioCan) are here to stay.” For more coverage, go to yorkregion.com

Notice of Completion City of Vaughan Bowstring Arch Bridge - Humber Bridge Trail Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study Revision to Schedule ‘B’ Project In 2013, the City of Vaughan completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to identify a preferred solution for the Humber Bridge Trail Bowstring Arch Bridge located east of Highway 27 and north of Major Mackenzie Drive. The study was conducted in accordance with the requirements for Schedule “B” projects as prescribed in the Municipal Class EA (2010, as amended in 2007 and 2011) under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Upon completion of the EA, the City of Vaughan was able to proceed to implementation of the preferred solution to rahabilitate the bridge. In 2015, the City of Vaughan conducted a structural assessment of the existing bridge and a life cycle cost analysis of the bridge rehabilitation preferred alternative, as well as potential alternatives for a new concrete bowstring arch bridge or structural steel girder bridge. The results of this assessment and analysis indicated that the preferred solution to rehabilitate the bridge is not viable and the City of Vaughan identified a need to amend the 2013 EA in accordance with Municipal Class EA requirements for revisions to Schedule ‘B’ projects. The Municipal Class EA acknowledges that it may be necessary to revise Schedule ‘B’ projects. A revision to the previously completed Project File has been prepared to summarize the planning process followed to evaluate and assess the Humber Trail Bridge alternative solutions. Following this revision, the preferred solution is to replace the existing bridge with a new structural steel girder bridge. The revision to the schedule ‘B’ Project is available for public review from June 23, 2016 to July 22, 2016 during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) at the following location: City of Vaughan - Infrastructure Delivery Department 2141 Major Mackenzie Drive Vaughan, ON L6A 1T1 The revision to the schedule ‘B’ Project is also available for viewing on the project website: http:www.vaughan.ca/projects/engineering projects/HBTbridge. Anyone with an interest in the study is encouraged to review the revision to the schedule ‘B” Project and provide written comments to the City of Vaughan.

If concerns regarding the revisions cannot be resolved through discussions with the City of Vaughan, a request may be made to the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change to make a request for the project to comply with Part II of the EA Act (referred to as a Part II Order).

The Thornhill Golf and Country Club is changing. Not just on its premises, where they host a classic 18-hole championship course that will play host to the Golf Ontario men’s amateur championships later this year, along with a nine-hole par-three facility, a curling facility, a recently opened fitness centre and yoga studio, three renovated clay tennis courts and a soon-to-be-opened outdoor swimming pool. But also in name — as it is now officially called the Thornhill Club.
Reds capture tournament title The Thornhill Reds captured the title from the Vaughan Vikings AAA senior baseball tournament that culminated with a 7-6 win over the Newmarket Hawks in the final at Vaughan Grove park, Sunday. After suffering a 5-4 loss in their opening game against Strathroy Friday, the Reds rebounded the following day to reel off victories over Pickering 14-6, Ilderton 7-6 and Burlington 9-7 to advance to the semifinals. Facing Ilderton for a second time Sunday, the Reds punched their ticket into the final
In incorporating a name change, the club also unveiled a new logo recently. The decision to change the name stemmed largely from the club’s evolving commitment to making their year-round, multi-purpose facility family oriented, said Joe Murphy, Thornhill Club general manager and chief operating officer. “For close to 100 years we have been home to a wonderfully designed Stanley Thompson golf course with an 18-hole championship course and a family-friendly nine-hole course that has been the heart and soul of this club,” said Murphy, who began his duties at the Thornhill Club in March. with a 15-5 win. The Reds got production up and down the order all weekend, but hitters two through six had huge numbers. Russell Mcgibbon, Sean Sutton, Harrison Greenough and Jacob Hillier each had at least four multi-hit games. Greenough also drove in 12 runs, including at least one RBI in all six contests. In winning the tournament title, the Reds also pocketed $1,000 in prize money. Sporting a 14-4 overall record and 8-2 mark in the Greater Toronto Baseball League, the Reds are in first place.

“As we move forward, golf will always be our core value, but we are much, much more than a top-100 golf course in Canada and we want people to know about the other great programs and initiatives that we offer.” Stating the membership enthusiastically supported the name change, Murphy noted the new logo continues to highlight the fourseason uniqueness of the club with its snowflake and shining sun. It also incorporates a more stylish look. In making changes to their facilities and their marketing plans, Murphy hopes it will create more awareness and attract new members in a highly competitive marketplace.
“The Thornhill Club is changing. It’s a club with everything for today’s avid golfer, their families, their active lifestyles and we’re striving to create a warm, friendly environment where everyone enjoys their time here,” Murphy said. The Thornhill Club is introducing a new entrance fee pricing structure for families and individuals in June. The Thornhill Club offers a variety of trial memberships for 2016 including – the Valley Course Trial Membership, the Learn to Golf Membership, a Long Course Trial Membership, as well as Clubhouse Active, Clubhouse Social, Tennis and Curling opportunities.

More than 200 cyclists will take to the road Sunday for Mackenzie Health Foundation’s 2nd annual Ride for Health, presented by CIBC, in support of the Exceptional Care Belongs Here campaign. Cyclists of all levels have taken on the challenge of a 60- or 100-km route to help purchase state-of-the-art equipment for Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital and help build and equip the future Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital. Actor, producer and celebrity chef David Rocco and Transportation Minister and Vaughan MPP Steven Del Duca will join event co-chairs Domenic Gurreri and Mark Roccatani for the ride. Ride for Health committee member Glen McCarthy says his passion for cycling helped
him recover from not one, but two strokes. It was the cycling photographs he had covering his patient room walls during his recovery at Mackenzie Health that gave him inspiration, “I am deeply grateful for the quality of care I received at Mackenzie Health and can’t say enough about the health care team members – my biggest cheerleaders,” McCarthy says. Mackenzie Health Foundation is spearheading the $250-million Exceptional Care Belongs Here campaign to help build and equip Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital, and enhance care at Mackenzie Richmond Hill. The June 26 ride takes place at Copper Creek in Kleinburg. Registration starts at 6:30 a.m. with a light breakfast. Opening remarks are at 7:30 a.m. The ride starts at 8 a.m.. There is a buffet lunch at 11 a.m. followed by a postride celebration at 12:15 p.m. To register, visit MHFRide.ca

Despite a terrific fourth-minute goal from Raheem Edwards, Toronto FC II could not hold on and dropped a 2-1 decision on the road to FC Cincinnati Saturday night. Edwards, the leading scorer for TFC II this year with five goals, got his team off to a blazing start before 19,112 people at Nippert Stadium. He grabbed the ball just over the halfway line and once he reached the penalty area dragged it past two defenders, before blasting it past a lunging keeper. The lead held up until the break, but goals by Harrison Delbridge and Eric Stevenson in the 61st and 62nd minutes were enough to give the home side the win. Toronto FC II finished their two-game road trip Tuesday night in Louisville with a 4-1 loss at the hands of league leaders Louisville City FC. The home team had cruised to a 4-0 lead when striker Shaan Hundal claimed a goal for the visitors with 11 minutes to play. TFC II return home to the Ontario Soccer Centre in Vaughan Sunday at 7:30 p.m. when the Charleston Battery will be the visitors. For more information including tickets visit www.tfc2.ca
Vaughan Rebels move to 4-0 BY MICHAEL HAYAKAWA
mhayakawa@yrmg.com
The Vaughan Rebels bantams ran their unbeaten streak to four games without a loss after they routed North Halton Crimson Tide 36-0 in their Ontario Football Conference road game in Georgetown, Sunday. Rebels quarterback Marco Simeone ran for two touchdowns while wide receiver Michael Klana returned one punt 105 yards for a touchdown. Linebacker Matteo Frano returned one interception for a major and linebacker Dil-
lon Schobourgh recorded one safety. Adam Castellano kicked four converts. Also anchoring the club’s win was a solid defensive effort from linebacker Adrian Facciponte who had nine tackles and one quarterback sack while defensive lineman Jonathan Veria made four tackles and defensive end Christopher Vivanco recorded six, including four for losses. The Rebels will have a bye for the next two weeks before returning to action when they host Oakville at York University July 10 at 2:30 p.m.

STUDENT LEARNING BLOSSOMS IN OUTDOOR CLASSROOMS THANKS TO WOODBRIDGE TOYOTA
New funding from Evergreen’s national Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds program helps create GREEN SPACE at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Elementary School
Woodbridge, Ontario. June 2016 – To enrich students’ learning experience through nature, St. Margaret Mary Catholic Elementary School received $1000 in funding from Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds, a national program that helps create inviting, dynamic school grounds with diverse natural features. The funding will support St. Margaret Mary Catholic Elementary School’s greening/food project to create Green space for trees and shrubs around the school. The new Green Space will give students, present and future, the opportunity to learn about and connect with nature right on their own school grounds. The St. Margaret Mary Catholic Elementary School’s project will consist of plants and trees. “We knew we had an opportunity to give our students something special,” says Mrs. Carmen Falcone (Principal). “Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds and Woodbridge Toyota generously helped give our students the opportunity to get their hands dirty and learn from nature on our school grounds.” Toyota has a rich history of respect for people, continuous improvement (or kaizen) and giving in the communities where associates and customers live, work and play. Since 2000, Toyota Canada and Evergreen have partnered to bring school communities together to transform barren school grounds into healthy, natural and creative outdoor classrooms. The Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds program has reached over 3,000 schools across Canada providing funding and consulting support. The program connects with schools locally through regional Evergreen consultants and Toyota Dealerships across the country. Benefits of school ground greening and/or food projects are many: increased enthusiasm for learning, environmental awareness and stewardship, enhanced motivation for teaching, improved student behaviour, increased physical activity and opportunities for community involvement in school life. “Respect for the environment is built into Toyota’s core values, and aligning with like-minded partners like Evergreen allows us to share this respect with future generations,” says Larry Hutchinson, President and CEO, Toyota Canada Inc. “Toyota Canada is proud to support the Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds program. Through the program, over 1.5 million Canadian children to-date have learned to respect the environment, and their enthusiasm for nature will ensure a greener world in the future.” “A learning experience through nature can instil a lifelong sense of stewardship and environmental activism in students,” says Geoff Cape, Executive Director, Evergreen. “Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds helps Canadian schools transform lifeless, asphalt yards into green school grounds to give students the opportunity to play and learn in a natural environment.” For more details, including a full list of media contacts, digital images and product details please visit media.toyota.ca. For more information, please visit www.evergreen.ca or contact:
