Richmond Hill residents like their town — they really, really like their town.

That’s the overall result of the latest com-munity survey completed by Forum Research for the municipality and presented to council this week.

As far as report cards go, this is one you’d want to stick on your fridge.

“I’ve done over 200 municipal studies over the past 15 years. Your results are basically the high-est we’ve ever seen next to one other munici-pality, which was Saanich, in B.C. which has overwhelmingly high numbers,” Forum group president Chris Bandak told councilors Monday.

“You should be very proud of the numbers. They’re very, very good.”

Forum conducted a telephone survey throughout February of this year to measure residents’ perceptions of life in Richmond Hill and results were presented to the committee of the whole.

Using random digit dialing, 809 residents par-ticipated in an 18-minute-long interview and data was weighted with respect to age and demo-graphics to reflect proportions in Richmond Hill. Respondents had the option of completing the survey in English, Cantonese, Farsi or Russian.

It’s part of an ongoing survey designed to determine perceptions of overall quality of life in Richmond Hill, identify issues of importance and measure residents’ satisfaction with services

provided.Previous surveys were conducted in 2000,

2002, 2007 and 2012.Bandak, who has spent 20 years specializing

in municipal research, said the response rate of eight percent is considered very high, “an excellent result”. Most similar surveys produce response rates of two to three per cent, he said.

The survey found 96 per cent of residents are satisfied with the town as a place to live — a slight increase from 94 per cent in the 2012 community survey results.

“This is a very, very, very good result,” Ban-dak said, noting most residents pointed to the location, proximity to amenities, numerous parks and open spaces, and the close-knit, strong community spirit as reasons for rating

Where You Can Always Get A Game

Richmond Hill councillors cautiously optimistic about OMB reformBy KIM ZARZOUR

[email protected]

Two Richmond Hill councillors, members of the OMB reform working group, are express-ing optimism after a provincewide summit held in Markham last weekend.

Ward 4 Councillor David West and Ward 5 Councillor Karen Cilevitz said the meeting reflected a rare consensus among GTA politi-cians that the OMB is not helping Ontario communities.

With so many different perspectives and needs among diverse municipalities, consen-sus at the local level doesn’t happen often, West said, but when it comes to the Ontario Munici-pal Board, there was a solid agreement among participants that reform is needed now.

The OMB is a provincial tribunal that makes rulings on land use disputes between develop-ers and municipalities.

West presented a motion to Richmond Hill council in February, seconded by Cilevitz, call-ing on the province to thoroughly review the appeals process and develop a better one that recognizes and supports the rights of munici-palities to make their own decisions.

That motion was approved by all but one councillor, Ward 2 Councillor Tom Muench. (Councillor Greg Beros was not present.)

The Richmond Hill motion was one of the first to follow on the heels of a Town of

Aurora motion to reform the OMB; more than 80 other municipalities across the province passed similar motions this spring.

Last weekend’s summit, organized by Auro-ra Councillor Tom Mrakas, gathered together 100 delegates from across Ontario — mostly elected officials — to make recommendations for an upcoming provincial review of the OMB.

While he is “under no illusions the work is done”, West said, “it was a good meeting. We had a lot of good, honest discussion amongst a wide range of municipal representatives.

“Concern was expressed that the charac-teristics that make individual communities unique and proud are the very things that the

OMB is eroding, because the OMB takes such a one-size-fits-all approach.”

The summit was “remarkable”, Cilevitz agreed, because “in less than five months we were able to assemble elected officials from nearly one quarter of Ontario representing over 60 per cent of our province’s population, speaking from one shared perspective”.

That perspective, she said, is that munici-palities and their elected councils can better manage their own land-use planning man-dates according to their own official plans.

Richmond Hill councillors Godwin Chan and Muench also attended the summit.

Chan said the meeting made a strong

statement to the provincial government that local decision-making ought to be respected and not to be “trumped” or over-ruled by an unelected and unaccountable board with no knowledge of the local community.

Muench said the meeting is a good start for adjusting the OMB and he is optimistic “parties can work together for the betterment of all”.

He said he voted against Richmond Hill’s reform-OMB motion in February because the wording was vague and the meaning “open to interpretation”.

RESIDENTS’ COMMENTS:I was involved in OMB process regarding Baif Devel-opment at Major Mackenzie Yonge block ... when years and taxpayers’ money, spent on studies and developing the official plan, were overturned by an OMB decision. The council of Richmond Hill, our elected body, has citizens’ mandate to choose what’s the best for residents based on studies, professional opinions of staff, official plans and local experience. All this is dismissed when OMB gets involved and makes changes ... to suit the greed of developers.

- Magdalena StrzeleckaThe OMB is a provincially appointed, non-elected appeal body and it is the only one of its kind in our country. Time and time again the OMB has sided with developers and approved building heights, densities and projects contrary to the Richmond Hill Official Plan ... - Rose Dodgson

Councillors David West (far left) and Karen Cilevitz (fifth from right) sit on the OMB work-ing group, urging reform of the unelected body.

the town so highly.Most respondents strongly agreed

that Richmond Hill is a welcoming and vibrant community.

Asked how satisfied they are over-all with the services provided by the town, 94 per cent of the respondents said they were either satisfied or very satisfied.

“This is a very strong number. It means that almost your entire popu-lation is satisfied.”

At the top of the scale, respon-dents reported a high comfort level with knowing they’re protected by firefighters and police services. Most other services were rated at 80 per cent or higher.

“These are great results,” Bandak said. “You’ve done very, very well. Libraries, condition and mainte-nance of town water and sewage, garbage and recycling ... people are very, very happy.”

The top three sources residents turn to for information about their

community were the town’s waste management calendar, the town’s recreation guide and editorial con-tent in the Richmond Hill newspaper, The Liberal.

A majority of residents reported they had made use of park areas in the past year and said parks were close to their homes and felt safe.

The survey is intended to pro-vide municipalities with a framework and guidance on what areas could be improved, Bandak said.

Among the top issues of con-cern, respondents pointed to traffic, improving public transit and over-crowding.

Results are also slightly less strong in terms of satisfaction with land use planning, bylaw and parking enforce-ment and snow clearing, he said.

More research may need to be done, internally and externally via focus groups, to learn how the town can improve those areas, he added.

Ward 4 Councillor David West said the results were not surprising — they reflect what he and his colleagues are

‘Great results,’ survey firm representative tells councillorshearing on the streets — and while they’re encouraging, they still show need for improvement.

“There’s a tension in our grow-ing communities that is reflected in some of the responses ... and point to where we can have good conversa-tions in the next while to see where to make things better.”

Regional Councillor Vito Spata-fora agreed. “We would want to use this as a basis to figure out if we need more bylaw officers, for example, or if something is wrong with bylaws in place that don’t meet needs residents have.”

“It’s always good to get a report card now and especially a report card like this,” said Regional Councillor Brenda Hogg. “With an 18-minute survey, not a lot of people would buy into that, in my view, and yet you had 169 respondents” request-ing a callback to complete the survey in another language. “I think that’s spectacular, frankly.”

Museum must reach out to all culturesRe: How should we showcase our history: new museum or artifacts online? May 5.

I was at the Richmond Hill Heritage Center when the medieval exhibit was on. There was a pleasant party in the back, and the two staff people were very nice.

I enjoyed the timeline, map and historic informa-tion on the walls, as well as the track lights overhead to provide illumination. The large walnut tree outside is a sightseeing landmark onto itself.

In the study referenced in the article, 76 per cent of respondents wanted more outreach programming, underscoring the fact the museum is not really well-known outside of history enthusiasts and program participants.

There is a wish to expand the facilities by 6,860 or 18,850 square feet from the current figure of 9,160 sq. ft., and a strong desire for a robust online presence, not least of which is the

online catalogue hinted at by Councillor David West.

From my point of view as a museum studies student at U of T, born into a first-generation Chinese fam-ily, I think a strong priority should be connecting with different communities.

Chinese and Farsi speak-ers, forming the bulk of visi-ble minorities, are not well-connected to the museum at all.

If the museum is to be part of our local fabric, then it is very imperative that they become key visitors. I’d imagine small travelling exhibits in different languag-es, and days of multicultural potlucks and events.

Personally, I am skeptical about the long-term expan-sion and online catalogue. First of all, they are expen-sive and high-maintenance undertakings.

Secondly, even if they are completed, it would be a shame if not many people hear about them.

It is essential that the museum is used more in the first place, so that peo-ple knows about the cur-rent museum, and in the process become willing to

fund it during fundraisers and/or levies.

Once the museum is well-known, it will be a ripe time to build new facilities and an online infrastruc-ture to be used and enjoyed by all.

The museum is depen-dent on Richmond Hill’s downtown development and its cultural scene. If our heritage town on Yonge Street is vibrant, and the cultural activities of York Region is thriving, then the museum will not have a hard time finding its right-ful place in our commu-nity.

Alternative censusing?e filled out the census form the other day, that much ballyhooed poll of who lives in our home, what

our relationships are, how we get around, what we do for a living.

Having these stats tallied is considered vitally important for our country’s future. The previous government was much criticized for cutting back on the long-form census, making it voluntary, and so on.

So now all is right with the world and you better answer all those queries from the stats peo-ple or else.

While it is so kind of them to ask, did you notice all the really, really looong questions, such as — Is anyone listed in step B a farm operator who produces at least one agricultural product intended for sale? For example, crops, livestock, milk, poultry, eggs, greenhouse or nursery products, Christmas trees, sod, honey, bees (odd juxtaposition - honey and/or bees ... or honey bees? Can’t have honey if you don’t have bees!), maple syrup products, furs, etc.

So we get it already! A farm product!

Likewise I was relieved to determine what my relationship is with “Person 1 and Person 2”: Opposite-sex husband or wife of Person 1; Son or daughter of both Persons 1 and 2 (it’s like Dr. Seuss! Thing 1 and Thing 2!); Sweetheart, hockey teammate or dentist of Person 3; Off-leash dog park acquaintance of Person 4; Guy who held door at Wendy’s for Person 5.

Yes, I am exaggerating. But some of the questions do seem a little odd.

Personally, if I had my own census to write up, I might have been a little more nosey, and asked a few questions to find out how we really feel about each other and the relationships in our lives. Perhaps the government would consider them for next time:

Q: When it comes to your use of public transit in York Region, do you travel by:1. Car2. Pickup truck3. SUV

4. Minivan?Q: Fill in the blank. Your current

employer is...1. Wonderful!2. Probably monitoring my com-puter so I can only say so much.

Q: Of all the persons living in your home, who do you wish was actually living there?1. Not everyone but you don’t want to say who?2. Is it unkind to single out my mom?3. Quit “dropping by”. And get your own food and cable! You know who you are.4. If people wouldn’t flip off their socks all over, I would quit wishing they lived on the street.

Q: Which person in the home do you have the deepest feelings for?1. Confession: I like my grandkids better than my own kids.2. Anyone who has a job.3. When you say “person” does that include cats?

Q: Describe your relationship with your spouse.1. Happily married.2. Happily unmarried.3. Still somewhat happy most Fri-days, every second month during even numbered years. 4. We live near an LCBO; that helps.5. On good days, I wonder what I saw in him in the first place. On bad days, be afraid, very afraid.6. Every moment together with this person is like having the den-tist drill out a cavity.

So there you have it, folks. The alternative census.

Either way, I hope you complet-ed your form and I hope the info is useful — to someone. And I hope you have someone you can count on to call on the phone, message on your computer, or check off in a box as being your friend.

Home & Garden

Five plants that grow anywhereEvery region in North America has its own specific weather quirk, whether it’s freezing winters, scorch-ing summers or heavy rainfall. It can be a daunting task to plan a garden when Mother Nature is so unpredic table, so here are some plants that will sur-vive every season’s tests.

1. PeoniesYou could forget entirely about these beauties in

your garden and they’d still probably find their way back year after year. Even if mould or weather gets the best of them in the summer, you can still expect an encore next spring.

2. HollyHolly is often associated with Christmas time,

and for good reason: it looks great all winter! With more than 400 varie ties, you’re sure to find a type of this berry-yielding plant that suits your garden.

3. DayliliesThese cheerful yellow flowers can withstand ex-

treme temperatures, which explains their popular-ity from coast to coast.

4. HostasYou know the ones: these green, leafy plants

require virtually no maintenance and are native to almost every region of North America.

5. tuliPsThese perennial bulbs are very easy to grow and

care for. There are endless varieties, and thus tulips can be grown in many different colours and sizes. Gardeners delight in picking their hardy spring flowers. Plant bulbs in the fall and enjoy the show for many years to come!

So, no more excuses — wherever you live, grab a shovel, put on some gloves and get planting.

I have been a wills lawyer with Fishand Associates since 1989. BeforeI became a lawyer, I worked in myfamily hardware store on EglintonAvenue. I worked there in my teenyears and in my early twentiestogether with my late father Jack andmy late brother Joel. I have wonderfulmemories of people coming into buyitems for their cherished family home.We knew most of our customers andtheir children by name. Our littlestore was a place where parentswould come in with their children,share stories and make sure that thefamily home was well cared for withfertilizer, grass seed, paint, brass andsilver cleaner etc. Looking back, itnow seems like something out of amovie, something too perfect to last.When I became a wills lawyer, I saw adifferent side of life. Families fightingover inheritance, siblings not talkingto each other and greed galore. I’veheard comments like “next time youspeak to my brother, please tell himhow much I hate him or don’t referto her as my sister, please call her mymother’s other child.”One story brings it all to light. Aftermy brother passed away in 2012, I hadto close down my beloved hardwarestore. It broke my heart that this store,that had been started by my father in1955 would now be nothing but fourwalls. As I was cleaning out the store,I noticed a man walking by who I hadnot seen since I worked there backin the early eighties. I rememberedhis father and his mother. They hadbeen loyal customers of our store. Itseemed that every weekend they werein our store buying something fortheir family home. I remember howproud they were of their children’saccomplishments and how lovinglythey talked about their family. My latedad always talked about that familylike the Cleavers on Leave It ToBeaver. In other words, they were the“perfect family.” I ran out of the storeto talk to this gentleman who wasnow in his mid fifties. When I askedhim how his dad was, he said thathis dad had passed away a few yearsago and that his mom had recentlypassed away. When I said I’m sorry,he thanked me. When I asked how hissiblings were doing, he said “I don’tknow, I hate them. I never see them.I just talk to them through lawyers.They are disgusting!” He said they

were fighting over the house. All of asudden, I felt a chill. To his parents, itwas a cherished family home, but, tohim it was just a house, an asset worthmoney, I think his parents would beshocked to know that the home thatthey filled with love had become acold hard asset. I think they wouldalso be devastated to know that theirchildren are fighting each other andwill probably never speak to eachother again.In my wills practice, I hear aboutso many families being destroyed,often, over so little. For years I haveappeared as a call in guest on radioand tv shows across North America.You can watch my CNN segmenton www.leskotzer.com. Some of thecalls I have received over the yearsare shocking. You would think thatthe hate I heard over the radio wasdirected at mortal enemies, but in fact,it was directed at siblings, children,parents and other family members. Ioften say that I think I’ve heard it all,until I get the next call.From my experience as a wills lawyersince 1989 here are some suggestionsthat may help you and your family:1. Firstly, it is important to make awill that sets out your wishes. Withouta will, the law decides who inheritsyour assets. Your child who is yourcaregiver gets no more than the childwho hasn’t seen you in twenty years.Furthermore, without a will, there isno executor in place to look after yourestate immediately upon your death.In future columns, I will discuss whathappens to your estate, if you passaway without a will.2. Make sure you review your willon an on going basis to make surethat it is up to date and not a recipefor a family battle. Your will shouldbe a living, breathing document thatreflects your current life situation. Inmy practice, I do free will reviews,and I am shocked that so many peoplecome in with wills that have not beenlooked at since the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.Some of these wills have executorsthat have long passed, assets namedin the will that no longer exist andchildren that were born after the dateof the will that were not named inthe will. These are only a few of theproblems I have found in the wills thatI have reviewed.3. Don’t assume that your children willwork it all out when you pass away. If

you don’t plan properly your childrenmay have to hire their own lawyers ora judge might have to decide the issue.This can be expensive and may leadto your children never talking to eachother again.As well as being a wills lawyer, I amalso a professional songwriter. Mysong Photos In A Drawer can be heardon radio across Canada. I also wrotea song entitled the Family Fight songbased on my experience in this areaof the law. Here are some lines fromthe song. If you wish to hear this songor others I have written, you can visitmy songwriting wills lawyer websitewww.touchyourheartsongs.com.

We’re dividing all of mother’s thingsDeciding on her rugs and ringsI can’t believe what’s happeningtonightWe’re in a family fight

Can’t split a painting on the wallor share a table in the hallI never dreamt that we could fall apartIt would break our mother’s heart

TonightWe’re in a family fightAs kids we’d talk away the nightBut nowWe’re in a family fight

I never thought that I would seethese winds destroy our family tree

As mentioned, I would be pleased toreview your will for free to make sureit is up to date and not a recipe for afamily nightmare.If you do not have a will and are notsure where to start, our law firm offersa free will consultation.To arrange for a free will review orfree will consultation appointment,you can call 905-881-1500 or you canemail me [email protected] my daughter Michelle Kotzer whois also a wills lawyer with our firm [email protected].

Wondering whither went the Twickenham swan?The Town of Richmond Hill would like you to know

he is safe and sound in Orangeville.Formerly a resident of Twickenham Pond, in Twick-

enham Park in the Bathurst Street and Canyon Hill Avenue area, the waterfowl’s mood turned foul recently after he lost his mate.

He began acting aggressively towards a dog in the neighborhood, according to town spokesperson Carrie Pitcher. The dog was in its fenced-in yard, which backs onto the park.

For the safety of the community and of the swan, the swan was relocated temporarily to the swan pen at Mill Pond and later moved to the care of the Canadian Ornamental Pheasant and Game Bird Association in Orangeville, where it is hoped he will be safe and have “quality of life”.

Several of Richmond Hill’s parks — Mill Pond, Red-stone, Twickenham and Pioneer — are home to a num-ber of mute swans.

Moving swans is no easy feat. According to the migra-tory bird act, birds’ wings must be pinned and because they are monitored, the birds must also be tagged.

The swan was moved in a crate at an undisclosed date and time last week to avoid crowds that could add to the bird’s stress.

Richmond Hill has hired a new town clerk.

Stephen Huycke joined the Town of Richmond Hill as its new director of coun-cil support services/town clerk effective May 9.

Like the new chief administrative officer, Neil Garbe, Huycke comes from the Town of Aurora, where he worked as town clerk and acting director of legal and legislative services.

Huycke fills a void left by former town clerk Donna McLarty, who retired in April last year after serving Richmond Hill for 36 years.McLarty, 55, passed away suddenly a few months after leaving the post.

Carol Moore, manager of communication servic-es, said the appointment follows an extensive search process with the town working with a national executive search firm.

An experienced pub-lic servant, Huycke spent more than 12 years in pro-gressively more respon-sible positions at McMas-ter University, the City of Markham and, from April

2014 until May 6 this year, with the Town of Aurora, Moore said.

Prior to his public ser-vice career, Huycke spent eight years in intellectual property and records man-agement roles in the pri-vate sector.

Huycke holds a BA degree (History and Law) from Carleton University and a Bachelor of Public Administration degree, also from Carleton. He is a member of the Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario.

“Mr. Huycke (pro-nounced “hike”) is well qualified to fill this impor-tant role, and we are excit-ed to welcome him to the town’s leadership team,” said Dean Miller, commis-sioner of financial services.

Body of swimmer pulled from Bond LakeBy Lisa Queen

[email protected]

The body of a 34-year-old man from Rich-mond Hill who went out for a swim was pulled from Bond Lake in Oak Ridges at about 1 a.m. Wednesday.

The name of the drowning victim has not been released, York Regional Police Sgt. Kelly Bachoo said yesterday.

Police attended the scene at about 5:20 p.m. Tuesday and officers with the marine unit, along with Richmond Hill Fire and Emergency Services representatives, spent hours searching the lake.

“We had a marine unit out, officers — we had the whole gamut out looking for him and, unfortunately, he was located deceased,” Bachoo said.

At one point Tuesday night, there were four emergency rescue vehicles, a water res-cue boat and 16 personnel on scene.

A post-mortem examination will be con-ducted, and the death is not considered sus-picious.

The man was fishing with two other men when he went swimming and did not return. The other men in the boat were ages 18 and 20 and no alcohol was found by police.

Bachoo didn’t know what the temperature of the lake was, but said the water would have been cold, pointing out frost warnings were issued and snow fell over the weekend

At about 10:25 p.m., police tweeted the marine unit and other emergency services personnel were still on the scene searching.

– with files from Jeremy Grimaldi

Police, fire and EMS crews were all at Bond Lake Tuesday night scouring the water and shoreline for a man who disap-peared into the water. His body was found early Wednesday morn-ing. No name was released by police yesterday.

Police identify suspect sought in violent home invasionA warrant has been issued for a 39-year-

old man wanted in connection with a break and enter and an assault with a weapon.

On Dec. 21, 2015, police responded to a residence in the area of Yonge Street south of 16th Avenue in Richmond Hill. A male suspect broke into the residence and con-fronted the victim with a crowbar.

The victim was not injured during the incident.

This week, York Regional Police identified the suspect as Craig Charette and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Investigators have exhausted all leads and are now releasing an image of the sus-pect and appealing to the public for any

information on his whereabouts.Charette is described as 5’11, 210 pounds with

brown hair, brown eyes, and is 39 years old.Members of the community are advised not to

confront the suspect if they see him, but to call police immediately at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7008.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of this person is asked to contact Det. Const. Dave Gill at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 2667, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS.

York police released this photo-graph of a suspect wanted in a vio-lent home invasion last December.

Police officer, 2 drivers sent to hospital after 3-vehicle crash

York Regional Police are warning drivers to slow down and move over for emergency vehicles after an officer was injured last week when a car ran into the back of a stopped police cruiser in Richmond Hill.

The officer, with the Traffic Enforcement Unit, was seated inside an unmarked cruiser with emergency lights activated in the right lane of Hwy. 7 east of Hunters Point Drive after stopping another vehicle at 2:45 p.m. Monday, May 9.

The cruiser was struck from behind by a Honda CRV and the force of the collision pushed the cruiser into an Audi Q5 that had initially been stopped by the officer.

All three drivers, including the police officer, were taken to hospital suffering from non-life-threatening injuries. All have since been released.

Hwy. 7 was closed in both directions from Bathurst Street to Yonge Street for several hours.

Drivers can be charged if they fail to slow down and pass an emergency vehicle with caution, and face penal-ties for a first offence ranging from $400 to $2,000, three demerit points upon conviction and possible suspen-sion of driver’s licence for up to two years.

ADveRTORIAL

Social media is key in local emergenciesIt was no Fort McMurray wildfire, but Rich-

mond Hill has had a taste of community emer-gencies — and social media was there to help.

During the ice storm of 2013 and last year’s train derailment, Town of Richmond Hill com-munications team leveraged the power of Face-book and Twitter to keep residents up to date.

The town also did a test-run of live-streaming a press conference during the unveiling of the town’s Terry Fox statue last year.

It’s a whole new world out there for those whose job is to inform the public.

Meeta Gandhi has seen big changes in the 25 years she has worked in the field.

Richmond Hill’s communications director said social media has been a major game chang-

er for the way it provides constant and immediate access to information — accurate and otherwise.

Digital technology also puts big pressure on staff who may be expect-ed to be online and pres-ent at all times.

It’s a topic many towns are discussing these days, and especial-ly in focus as the municipality of Wood Buffalo works around the clock to communicate about the Fort McMurray wildfire.

“When it’s an emergency, it is recognized that

it has to be all hands on deck,” Gandhi says.That’s how it was during ice storm. The communications team worked non-stop,

manning a virtual emergency operations centre with daily conference calls and regular briefings to town staff and politicians. Updates were posted throughout the ice storm every four hours on Twitter with links to info on the town’s website.

Town staff worked with other agencies and stakeholders to reduce duplication and ensure those responsible were providing the most accu-rate message, she says.

“I’ve never worked so long and so hard in my life. That was the case with everyone on the team. It was an enormous undertaking.”

- Kim Zarzour

Camaro ZL1’s Hydra-Matic transmission is a ‘Perfect 10’With faster upshifts than a dual-clutch transmission and a wider overall gear ratio spread to optimize per-formance and efficiency, the all-new available Hydra-Matic 10-speed automatic transmission sets a new performance standard in the 2017 Camaro ZL1 and raises the bar for the segment.

The ZL1 is expected to be the first volume produc-tion car to offer a 10-speed automatic.

It builds on the established legacy of Hydra-Matic eight-speed transmission family offered on other Gen Six Camaro models, to deliver higher thresholds of capability, refinement and efficiency.

The greater overall performance and efficiency are due primarily to the 10-speed’s wider 7.39 overall gear ratio spread, which enhances off-the-line per-formance with an aggressive first gear ratio of 4.70.

Smaller steps between the gears also help the engine maintain the optimal speed for maximum power at almost all vehicle speeds, especially when exiting a corner on a track.

Chevrolet testing has shown the ZL1 with the available 10-speed has faster shift times than the Porsche PDK dual-clutch transmission.

In fact, the 1-2 upshift is 36 per cent quicker than the PDK, while the 2-3 and 3-4 upshifts are 27 per cent and 26 per cent quicker, respectively.

Hundreds of hours were spent integrating the 10-speed’s shift performance with the unique power band of the ZL1’s supercharged 6.2-litre LT4 engine, which is estimated at 640 hp and 640 lb/ft of torque.

— Metroland Wheels

The new 10-speed transmission builds on the legacy of the Hydra-Matic eight-speed available on other Camaro models.

CEMETERY CHALLENGE — A SPECIAL REPORT

BY LISA [email protected]

ack in 1867, the year of Confederation, when residents would take a horse and buggy to the outskirts of their small

town to bury a loved one, it must have seemed like the 18 acres of the new Newmarket Cemetery would last forever.

But on this chilly spring day as a funeral procession arrives, cem-etery board secretary Dave Evans wonders if there will be enough time to find land, get approvals in place and develop a new graveyard before the existing cemetery runs out of room.

The cemetery is 10 years or so away from not being able to service any more casket burials, although it would still be able to accept crema-tion interments, said Evans.

“In terms of our planning, (it is a growing concern) because it takes 10 to 15 years to be able to buy a site and get all the approvals and open it…We’re very close if we can’t do something and get ourselves started,” he said.

“We’re infilling areas. By just

leaving the ring road and taking out the smaller roads and taking out some old pathways where horse and buggies went through, if we maximize it, if we don’t get a plague, (we can extend the life of the cemetery as much as possible). More people are going to crema-tion, so that makes it longer.”

Newmarket tops the list of York Region municipalities in urgent need of new cemetery land, accord-ing to study by consultant LEES + Associates Architects and Planners.

The need will soon reach a criti-cal stage in Georgina, East Gwil-limbury, Aurora and Richmond Hill, according to the report, which some in the cemetery industry are praising as the first comprehensive municipal cemetery needs analysis in Canada.

“In my mind, York Region is the first region to even recognize the problem and to reach out to the industry to understand the prob-lem, so my hat’s off to York Region for doing this,” said Glen Timney, vice-president of corporate devel-opment for the Mount Pleasant Group, which owns a number of funeral homes, cemeteries and

mausoleums, including Elgin Mills Cemetery in Richmond Hill.

In addition to a lack of cemetery land in certain areas, there is also an impending need to provide more dedicated graveyard space for some religious and cultural groups, most notably Roman Catholics.

Also, the industry is growing increasingly worried about the fact Toronto is running out of cemetery land with families looking north for grave sites.

“In isolation, some areas of York Region have sufficient land. Other areas will be running out. But the major issue is the city of Toronto will be out of cemetery space in 20 to 30 years and there is no more land available in the city of Toronto for cemetery space,” Timney said.

“So, the regions around Toronto, and Mississauga will be in the same situation and we have to be pre-pared to have sufficient cemetery space to accommodate Toronto and Mississauga. That’s the major issue. That bridge has never been crossed anywhere in Canada before. These are the first major centres in Canada that, all of a sudden, we’re running out.”

Our society doesn’t like to think about death and the need for cem-eteries, Evans said.

‘live forever’

“It’s a cultural thing that has been foisted on us. Because of Hol-lywood, youth, we’ll live forever, we’re all beautiful people. That sense that we don’t necessarily ven-erate the elderly like other cultures do,” Evans said.

Avoiding dealing with the needs of the dead is often no different for government leaders, he said.

Municipal planners and politi-cians appear more likely to address the housing, recreational and employment needs of growing communities than cemetery plots.

Besides, cemeteries don’t pay property taxes or development charges when they build new graveyards, meaning municipalities aren’t exactly rushing to welcome them, Evans said.

“They (municipalities) don’t want us because we represent no taxes. It’s something they don’t want to think about, but this document tells them they do (need to) and they need to remove obstacles.”

Overall, there are sufficient cem-etery lands in the region to accom-modate the 232,000 York residents who are expected to die between now and 2041, even as the region’s senior population increases by 148 per cent during that time.

But lack of graveyard space in Toronto will put pressure on York, the report said. Toronto residents already account for 33 per cent of cemetery sales in the region.

The region has heard the con-cerns of the cemetery industry and is working to come up with policies to address them, Sandra Malcic, the region’s manager of planning and environment in long-range plan-ning, said.

“We’re going to have a lot of con-sultation with the industry and the province because they’re really key in the discussions. But the hope is that we can develop a pretty proac-tive policy,” she said.

“We don’t figure it will be per-fect, but we’re hoping it will go a long way to showing the industry that we’re committed to meeting the need and hoping we can work together to get a policy framework that will allow us to do so.”

York’s hot housing market drives resale homes through roofBY LISA QUEEN

[email protected]

Here’s good news if you’re planning on putting your house up for sale.

The average price of a resale home in York Region increased by 13.5 per cent in 2015 to $777,927, Paul Bottomley, York Region’s manager of policy, research and planning in the economic development department, said during a presentation on the state of the region’s economy.

That has jumped from $491,883 for the average resale home only five years ago.

Meanwhile, the price is almost 70 per cent higher than what the province deems is the maximum affordable homeownership threshold for the region.

That stood at $459,000 in 2015.“There is an increasing gap between this

affordable threshold and the average resale price, with the gap increasing considerably over the last few years,” Bottomley said.

If the price of new homes were included, which sat at an average of $987,106 at the end of 2015, the gap between the affordable housing threshold and the cost of buying a home in York would be even higher.

The typical price of a resale home in the region is 25 per cent higher than the Greater Toronto Area, where the average is $622,217.

Showing Strength

The region continues to show strength in the residential resale market, recording the highest number of resales ever in 2015, at more than 19,100 sales, Bottomley said.

“All in all, going back over the last few years, the resale market continues to be very strong in York Region, which has reported above 16,000 resales annually since 2009.”

The average price of a resale single detached home in York in 2015 was $943,411, up 15 per cent over 2014.

For a semi-detached home, the average price last year was $606,779, up 13.8 per cent over the year before.

The average townhouse cost $575,427, up 12.2 per cent.

The skyrocketing prices can be attrib-uted to a number of issues, including a lack of houses for sale compared to demand, resulting in more competition and aggressive offers, Bottomley said.

Housing prices have been driven up by a lack of “ground-level” housing such as detached, semi-detached and townhouse homes, Jason Mercer, director of market analysis with the Toronto Real Estate Board said.

“I would say the biggest story over the last year has been the short supply of list-ings. There aren’t a lot of homes out there for people and when that happens, you see price growth.”

All those inflated housing numbers may not be good news if you are purchasing.

“Some people can’t even afford to get into the market. When you think about people in their 20s and 30s wanting to do starter homes, they’re never going to get there. Even if they do, they are going to be paying an incredible amount of money just to stay housed,” said

Mary Ann Proulx, executive director of York Region’s Citizens for Affordable Housing.

“The average one-bedroom apartment rents for $1,000 a month in York Region, and try and find that. We’re in a housing crisis. I don’t know what the solution is, but some-thing’s got to give.”

Building permits were issued for 9,546 new houses in York last year, a 51-per-cent increase over 2014, Bottomley said.

Across Canada, York is fifth in the num-ber of residential building permits issued last year, behind Greater Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton and Calgary.

York is seventh in Canada for industrial, commercial and institutional construction, with almost $927.5 billion worth of construc-tion last year. The 2015 total construction value in the region was almost $4 billion, the highest ever recorded.

other highlightS:

• York’s population is almost 1.166 million or 16.2 per cent of the GTHA total.

• The region welcomed about 21,500 new residents last year, a growth rate of almost 2 per cent.

• Markham grew by 8,000 residents last year, a 2.3-per-cent increase.

In percentage terms, King grew the most at 3.8 per cent, which worked out to just less than 1,000 new residents. Aurora grew by 2.5 per cent, East Gwillimbury by 1.2 per cent, Georgina by 1.3 per cent, Richmond Hill and Vaughan each by 1.8 per cent and Whitchurch-Stouffville by 1.6 per cent. New-market had the smallest percentage popula-tion growth at 0.5 per cent.

• In terms of numbers of new residents, the majority of growth remains in Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan, which took in more than 17,000 of York’s 21,500 new resi-dents.

• Since 2008, 91,000 new jobs have been created in the region, including more than 13,000 in 2015. That compares to 7,400 new jobs last year in Durham Region, 3,000 in Mississauga and 38,000 in Toronto.

• York’s unemployment rate dropped to 5.7 per cent last year, down from 6.2 in 2014.

‘We’re in a housing crisis,’ says Mary Ann Proulx, of Citizens for Affordable Housing.

Your opinions sought on recreation fees

The Town of Richmond Hill is looking for your opinion on how it charges for recreational and cultural programs and services.

A public meeting was held Tues-day at the McConaghy Seniors Cen-tre but if you missed that, you can still weigh in through an online sur-vey.

The town is reviewing its fees and policies for memberships, facil-ity rentals, aquatics and other pro-grams.

“The current fee schedule is 20-plus years old and it needs to be reviewed for clear direction,” said Darlene Joslin, director of recreation and culture.

The existing fee schedule was established in the mid-1990s, based on what was deemed important at the time, she said.

Affiliated local community groups, for example, receive a 50 per cent discount on facility rental rates.

“We are revisiting those user fees and rate structures to be sure the principles and philosophy are still sound.”

The town will be asking residents how satisfied they are with cost and quality of recreation and cultural programs and seek help with evalu-ating existing policies.

Are you not hearing clearly whena group of people are talking?Many people find that they are nolonger able to understand everythingbeing said, particularly when in thecompany of others. Engineered inSwitzerland, the Audéo V hearingaid has been designed specifically tounderstandspeech ingroupsituations.

The majority of those surveyed statedthat when exposed to considerablebackgroundnoise they are able to hearthat something is being spoken, butcan no longer discern precisely whatis being said. The words seem blurredand indistinct. But why is that? Theeffect tends to manifest itself in groupsituations, especially in restaurants. It isthe high-pitched tones perceived at theentrance to the cochlea that determinewhen youhear things accurately. In themajority of cases theseparts of the innerear are the first to be affected by noiseor aging.As the high-pitched tones areno longer perceived well, the auditorycentre of the brain begins to struggle todecode language. It’s a bit like an imagethat doesn’t have enough pixels.

Developed by Swiss audiologists theAudéo V hearing aid is designed toimprove speech comprehension innoise, particularly with hearing loss inthe high-frequency range. People cantrial thenewAudéoVsystembyPhonaksimply by calling now to do so. Duringyour FREE hearing test, our HearingCare Professionals will determine howspeechcomprehensioncanbe improvedin various situations and what role thetechnology called “AutosenseOS”plays.This technology can recognize wherethe person being spoken to is locatedand can amplify only his or her voice,

while ambientnoise is reduced.Thanksto several synchronous microphones,the hearing aid can detect sound inall directions and select the directionthat speech is coming from withinmilliseconds, seamlessly adjusting tothe listening situation.

According to Swiss researchers,this can significantly improvespeech comprehension, especially inconversation for the right candidates.Interested people can register for a freehearing test and trial of the Audéo Vby calling 1-888-771-7459

ON NOW AT THE BRICK!

Emily Zhu carded a two-round score of 12-over 154 to win the Girls U-15 division at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s MJT Ontario season opening Humber College PGM Classic at Hidden Lake Golf Club in Burlington Sunday.

Playing under cold and windy condi-tions and even some snow, the 12-year-old Richmond Hill resident shot a six-over 77 after Saturday’s first round and matched that feat Sunday.

Zhu finished two strokes better than Tay-lor Kehoe, 12, of Strathroy.

Zhu credited her victory to a couple of

clutch birdies she recorded during Sunday’s final round.

“My birdies on the fourth hole and on the 18th hole were my best plays,” she said.

“If I hadn’t made those two birdies, I would’ve been tied for the lead, which would have ended with a playoff.”

Among results posted by other Rich-mond Hill residents, Zhu’s brother Andre, 9, finished third in the Peewee Boys Division after he recorded a two-round 167 (86-81).

Andre finished 12 strokes behind winner Owen Kim, 11, of Oakville.

MARRETTA, GioacchinoMay 11, 2016

“Jack” passed away peacefully on Wednesday May 11, 2016 at Mackenzie Health Centre at age 68. Beloved son of Amelia and the late Carlo. Jack is survived by his cousins Rina (Joe De Donato, Samantha & Sarah) and Angela McNeil (Alexandra). Jack was a long time resident of Richmond Hill and a teacher at St. Peter’s in Woodbridge for over 30 years. Jack loved animals and had a special place in his heart for his two cats Chippy and Boots. Jack will be sadly missed by many of his friends, fellow teachers and students.

The family will receive friends at the HOLY CROSS CATHOLIC FUNERAL HOME 211 Langstaff Road East (west of Bayview Ave.) from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Friday May 20, 2016. A mass of Christian burial will take place within the funeral home in the Chapel of St. Joseph on Saturday May 21, 2016 at 11:30 am. The final rite of committal will take place at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery (8361 Yonge St., Thornhill).

If desired, donations may be made to the Richmond Hill Food Bank, The Humane Society or Canadian Cancer Society. Online condolences & directions may be found at www.catholic-cemeteries.com

WETSTEIN, Warren Jay Peacefully at Mackenzie Health on Monday, May 9, 2016 at the age of 59 years. Beloved husband of Jill. Dear father of Keri and Noah, Tamara and Andrew, Lindsay and Douglas.
