In wake of massacre, York LGBTQ community shows loveBY LISA QUEEN ANd KIM ZARZOUR [email protected]/[email protected]
Amid the hatred and violence, there is love and hope.
As members of York Region’s les-bian, gay, bi-sexual, transgendered and queer (LGBTQ) community and their supporters struggle this week to absorb the shock of the massacre of 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday, they are also speaking of their determination to forge stronger ties of understanding in the community.
The shooting by a lone gunman at the Pulse nightclub, which left 49 victims dead and another 53 injured in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, came just before a series of Pride events in York this week, including flag raisings in Vaughan and Georgina, a vigil in Markham and the annual Pride Parade in Richmond Hill.
At Vaughan’s flag raising Monday morning, Amanda Knegje, the York Region president of PFLAG Canada, the only national organization that
helps Canadians with issues of sex-ual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, recalled watch-ing the horror of the shooting on her television.
“It was horrific, it was on the news, it was everywhere. We have these moments in our lives we will always remember where we were. And as a proud gay woman, in Canada, in York Region, to be sit-ting there with my son, enjoying the liberties that I have in so-called safety, to hear something like that
and just the magnitude of it, rocked me to the core,” the Richmond Hill resident said.
“Because the reality is we have a sense of safety, but I’m sure the people in Orlando had a sense of safety, as well. It reminds us that hate exists and is prominent and it’s scary. I will certainly always remem-ber that moment of hearing about the loss of life and, really, the loss of the feeling of safety and knowing
Crews have been busy in recent weeks on both Centre and Bathurst streets in Thornhill, moving utilities and cutting down more than 150 trees for road widen-ing to accommodate the Viva rapid transit lanes. Orange fenc-ing is being used to protect more than 800 existing trees, and concerned residents are being told 1,000 new trees will be planted once the proj-ect is finished.

Barrie housing draws buyers from GTA, overseasBy Jenni Dunning
Between a “rundown shack” for $700,000 in Toronto or a two-storey home with modern finishings in Barrie, the choice was easy for Aleksandra and Marek Krupa.
The former Brampton couple moved to Barrie in December – part of a wave of homebuyers flee-ing north from the Greater Toronto Area’s higher housing prices.
The Krupas say many of their friends in their 30s are getting married and want to buy houses, but options can be limited if their bank accounts are not bulging.
“Some of them have bought condos that cost more than our house,” said Aleksandra.
“For $600,000, $700,000, they’d get basically a rundown shack,” added Marek. “There’s still a men-tal block about Barrie. I don’t know why. Once they start having kids, that little one-bedroom condo won’t be so nice.”
The Krupas have friends and family members who also recently moved to Barrie because the homes are less expensive, bigger and newer than many of those
available in the GTA. And with their first child due in
September, Barrie also offers more nature and outdoor living for the couple’s active lifestyle.
They both work from home, so commuting is not a problem, but Hwy. 400 makes the GTA easily accessible.
“(Friends) say, ‘Barrie is so far.’ Then they say, ‘Oh, how much do you say houses are?’ once they see the prices in Woodbridge and Maple,” Marek said.
“The new house gave us every-thing we wanted.”
But buying your dream home in Barrie and parts of Simcoe County is not as easy as it once was, partly because of competition from buy-ers leaving the GTA seeking more affordable housing options, said Mark Faris, CMO and broker of Royal LePage First Contact Realty The Faris Team Brokerage.
Anyone seeking to buy a house
in the Barrie area, for example, can expect to pay at least $5,000 to $10,000 over the asking price and potentially face bidding wars on multiple homes before mak-ing a deal, he said.
“The higher-end market is seeing movement … and there’s a whole lot more confidence in the entry market. That’s where you see bidding wars,” he said.
“Typically now, the list price is where you start. I’ve seen any-where from $20,000, $30,000, even $40,000 over list.”
For the past 10 years, Faris said, it took local agents an aver-age of four months to sell four months’ worth of inventory. In the past year, that changed to less than two months to sell the same number of units.
“If you’re comparing homes to 2015, it’s not the same mar-ket. Even (compared to) January (2016).”
In Barrie, the average price is now $275,000 to $350,000 for a townhouse, $425,000 for a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom detached home and $600,000 to millions for an estate home on the water, Faris said.
Areas such as Vaughan are becoming pricier, so many peo-ple are looking north, he said.
“Newmarket prices, Bradford prices are starting to get to a level that Barrie is seen as affordable,” Faris said.
“There’s a perspective change (among) people living south of here that Barrie is a cool place to be.”
In April, Barrie’s housing mar-ket tied with Toronto for having the third-highest year-over-year price increase in Canada, accord-ing to a recent Re/Max survey
by Leger, a market research firm. Housing prices jumped 14 per cent in the Barrie and District area and in Toronto during the first quarter this year, behind Fraser Valley and Greater Vancou-ver in B.C.
“The ripple effect on the hous-ing markets outside of Toronto and Vancouver is quite significant when you look at the Canadian housing market overall,” said Elton Ash, RE/MAX of Western Canada’s regional executive vice-president.
The markets in Vancouver and Toronto created competition among buyers and potentially discouraged sellers from listing their properties, he said. That led to a lower inventory, which may have impacted the numbers.
The same thing is happening in Simcoe, according to Barrie and District Association of Real-tors president Michael Douglas.
“Sometimes buyers are hav-ing to bid on four or five homes before they get one,” he said.
“It’s never been like this in Barrie, as far as my recollection goes. The bottom line is, there an imbalance between the inventory and the number of buyers.”
He said sellers love the market right now, but buyers are having a tough time finding homes in their price range.
According to the survey, the Barrie and District area saw the
selling price of the average home jump from $352,124 in 2015 to $401,801 this year.
“The interest rates are quite low, which means people can afford reasonable mortgages,” Douglas said.
“But there’s not enough prop-erties for sale to accommodate that many buyers.”
Douglas said the market should eventually balance out, but he isn’t sure when that will happen.
Along with new buyers from the GTA and lower inventory and interest rates, the low Canadian dollar is also attracting interna-tional buyers, with more people from Europe and China snapping up Barrie-area properties, said Faris.
This means greater competi-tion for buyers and for real estate agents, who are increasingly expanding marketing strategies and using online tools to show-case homes, he said.
“Gone are the days you take a shot of the house and stick it up online. You can’t just stick a sign on your lawn and expect maximum dollar,” he said, adding tools such as 3D tours, videos and live chats with real estate agents are being used.
“(Barrie has) been a mar-ket that hasn’t seen the kind of increases our southern brothers have recorded. Now, it’s starting to see increases,” Faris said.
“Barrie deserves it.”

Cleaning, purging, pitching and decluttering are the best moves you can make once you decide to put your house on the market.
And there are a few other tricks you can use now to improve your chances of selling, say real estate agents.
“You need to have an immacu-lately clean home and home staging is also important,” said Ian Osborne, part of The Curtis Goddard Team with Re/Max Chay Realty. “Staging doesn’t mean replacing your furni-ture. It means adding flowers and decluttering, working with what you have.”
Owners considering a move this spring always hope for a quick sale and to ensure a smooth process, Osborne has advice for sellers.
It might mean changing paint colours and storing away that tribal mask collection, sports team memo-rabilia or hobby items.
“Smell is also important. Take any pets out during any showing.”
Finishing off those incomplete DIY projects is also key.
“Wrap up those half-finished projects and make sure the big things are done,” Re/Max Chay real estate agent Curtis Goddard said. “Those are the things that will come to light in a home inspection, like a
furnace, roof or electrical.”He added while a new roof or
furnace might be expensive, you can fix it for less than a buyer who wants to take the cost off the closing price.
“You want to do anything that will stimulate the buyer’s confidence in your home and you’ll get multiple offers,” Osborne said.
But the big part of doing any-thing to your home is calling in the professionals, said Barrie and Dis-trict Association of Realtors presi-dent Mike Douglas.
He said most homes in today’s market are staged, which has increased homebuyers’ expecta-tions.
“You only get one chance to make a first impression,” Douglas said. “If people want to see your home a second or third time, they’re looking at the home’s function. They wouldn’t be there again if they didn’t like it.”
His tip is to clean off every sur-face, including countertops, dressers and tables.
“People react better if it gives the appearance there’s lots of space. If you have a bookshelf that can hold 30 books, only put 10 in it.”
While kitchen and bathroom renovations tend to add value to homes, Douglas added this time of year, landscaping is a big selling fea-ture. “Curb appeal matters a lot.”
Make your home realty ready
Aleksandra and Marek Krupa moved to Barrie from Brampton, in large part, because prices are lower there. They say friends think Barrie is far away, until they compare more afford-able Barrie prices to those in Vaughan.

A wonderful, flawed friendknow I’ve shared this story before, about how when I was a kid I wondered if Americans think our red and white flag is inspired by what Canadians look like
after miles and miles behind the wheel with the window down, left arm resting on the door, left side of the face exposed to the sun.
That’s what my father looked like for most of my summers in the days before air-conditioned cars, as the driver on camping trips to exotic spots in the U.S. (although these days with our weak dollar, maybe that’s a trip for some time in the future).
Or at least we thought of the trips as exotic. I imagine we often just looked tired or grumpy.
In a long trip in a cramped car, you’re soon reading each other’s thoughts — particularly my moth-er’s, who not far into each trip was thinking, “Never again! Why am I doing this? I must be mad!”
After the first day, Dad looked like a lobster that had been held over a pot and cooked on one side.
Eventually he developed a “half-tan”, as we called it, the kind of braising you get when you’re a Canadian piloting a station wagon on great adventures of cultural and geographic exploration across the United Steaks of America.
We saw North and South Dako-ta, North and South Carolina, Flor-ida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wash-ington, D.C., and all its awe-inspir-ing federal buildings, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Michigan, and many points in between. The Kennedy Space Center, museums, arenas and roadside eateries.
There was Wisconsin, known for its dairy farms, with an odour to match. We once saw a bumper sticker that read, “Smell our dairy air.” You didn’t need to be in French immersion to get the joke.
More than just the scenery, the history and the smells, it was the people we met that made the trips fascinating.
We like to believe that Ameri-cans are all the same. But on those trips I often found the opposite to be true — that if we met travellers from Halifax or Winnipeg we all seemed to find ourselves to be very similar. But the Americans were different from us and each other.
Regional accents, how people dressed, how loudly they spoke, the expressions they used.
Like the Kentuckian named Kyle who called me “ya’ll”. I’d be turn-ing around to see who else he was speaking to. And the people from “Bah Haba, Mayin” (Bar Harbor, Maine) I understood even less.
I still think of America these days in the belief it has to be the greatest country on the planet — no offence to my fellow Canadians and Cana-da, my beloved home.
At the same time, America is like one of those wonderful, big, loud, inspiring and yet flawed people you might meet in life, who has all these great qualities yet some type of weakness that always knocks them back a notch or two in life, despite all the steps they take forward.
Or someone whose strength is also their weakness.
For the Americans it’s a stead-fast belief in freedom and the Constitution protecting the rights of individuals from the whims of government. “Live free or die”, as you will see on licence plates in the northeast.
I firmly believe the freedoms we have in Canada are possible because Americans stand up for them on behalf of the free world.
But included in that Constitution is the right for people to bear arms. Which may have made sense 200 years ago, in the time of muskets with a small population of colonists in revolution against England, but can be a problem today, in the era of high-powered assault rifles, big cities, and fanaticism.
The Orlando shooting was actu-ally one of dozens of mass shoot-ings in the U.S. this year, reports say. It was the worst, so far.
It would be wonderful if it were also the last, but something funda-mental would have to change for that to happen.
IStop sign violations problem, tooRe: 13 drivers charged with impaired, June 2.
Since 2002 my family and I have travelled across Canada and have admired the coun-try and its warm, friendly and polite people.
Ontario in general, and Toronto in particular, stood out for people’s extreme courtesy and discipline while driving, and to my mind the safest.
However, of late, even in Richmond Hill — until now perhaps the safest of them all — I am beginning to observe blatant disregard for Stop signs and overall reckless and dangerous driving, especially while making a left turn.
No doubt impaired driving can be dangerous and some-times fatal, too, but the above trend also can lead to injuries and fatal accidents and hence needs to be stopped before it becomes a habit.
I am confident the law enforcement authorities will take urgent steps to prevent such flagrant violations.

Take action on fraudsTelephone scams and
frauds are a very serious attack on all Canadian peo-ple, but especially the vulner-able senior segment.
The Canada Revenue Agency scam has been going on for about a year now. Older people are falling prey and are being duped out of thousands of dollars daily. The threat of arrest for people who are not savvy is taken seriously and the perpetra-tors are making millions of dollars.
This is happening all across Canada. My brother in Newfoundland and people in Prince George, B.C. have also received these same threat-ening calls.
I have spoken to York Regional Police who say they get about 10 visits or calls a day from people who are

worried that they are about to be arrested. They referred me to the RCMP.
So, I called the RCMP in Newmarket. They are also very aware of this scam, but say they are powerless to stop it, as fraudsters are fast mov-ing. They seem to have mul-tiple phone numbers, includ-ing an Ottawa exchange (a 1-613 number, which I per-sonally got this week.)
I have many thoughts on this as to what the federal government can do:
1) Initiate a public aware-ness campaign through all media outlets ... radio, TV, newspapers and social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc.
2) Direct the RCMP to make this a priority. If some-one were threatening the security of the Parliament buildings or the prime minis-ter, they would be found.
3) Direct Rogers/Bell/Telus etc. to block these numbers immediately as they become known.
5) Customers should be able to report scam numbers to their local provider through a special number so that they can be blocked.
There are ways to attack this serious threat, but it seems as though everyone is throwing their hands up and doing nothing to stop it.
I implore the federal gov-ernment to take the initiative on behalf of all Canadians. It
would be a welcome relief.

Chopped tree a lossI’m saddened to see anoth-
er large tree in my neighbour-hood cut down.
A neighbour is destroying a giant, 150-year-old black wal-nut tree because apparently it’s too close to their home.
I have two mammoth black walnut trees on my property. The bane of my existence, they’re the source of my severe pollen allergy, they’re messy and drip sap, spread pollen and drop wal-nuts everywhere (especially on my car and in my pool).
Those dirty, drippy trees are the last to leaf out and the first to drop their leaves.
And, those two majestic trees also shield our house from summer sun, protect that same car during hail storms and the walnuts feed local squirrels. Their loss would be devastating.
Losing another mature tree in a heritage neighbourhood is a crime against nature. Seri-ously.

Since I have started my wills practice,I have done many wills for coupleswith young children. One couple, inparticular, had such an impact on methat I decided to write an article aboutwhat parents with young children needto know about wills.
While I was taking notes in our firstmeeting, the wife looked at me andsaid “we have been wanting to do thisfor so long, but we put it off, and now Ican finally sleep at night.” The husbandthen said “since our first child was born,we’ve always been worried about whatwould happen to our children if we werein a catastrophic accident. We feel somuch better that this is being done.”
What happens if you pass away without a will leaving young children?Firstly, there is no executor in place to look after your estate on your death.Secondly, there is no guardian named who can look after your children. Infact, there could be a custody battle between your family and your spouse’sfamily over who should raise the children. As far as inheritance, your childrenwill inherit everything you own at the age of eighteen. Remember how youwere at eighteen. Do you think you could have handled a large inheritance?By law, your children would automatically receive their inheritance ateighteen regardless of their level of maturity. These are only some of theissues that occur, if you pass away without a will. No parent wants to leavea mess for their family.
When making a will what are some things you should consider?First, who should you appoint as your executor? You can appoint yourspouse as your primary executor. In fact, this is what is usually done. Whatabout the back up executor? Who will look after your estate in case yourspouse is not alive when you die? You can appoint someone else you trustlike your parents or siblings.
You should also consider whether the person you are appointing as executorhas the time to take on the task. An executor may be trustworthy, but he orshe may be unwilling to accept the appointment. Executors have the rightto decline the appointment at the outset when they find out that they havebeen named. It is advisable to obtain your executor’s consent.
What about the guardian?If you have minor children your will should appoint a guardian to look afterthem in the event that you and your spouse both pass away before yourchildren reach the age of majority. Be careful about appointing a marriedcouple as guardians. You should feel very confident about their ability toget along together before concluding an appointment of this nature. If theyget separated or divorced, who will have custody of your children? Forexample, if you appoint your brother and his wife as guardians, and afteryour death they separate, will there be a custody battle for your children?To solve this, it might be prudent to appoint your brother alone.
Your parents are not always the best choice as guardians because theymay not out live you, and if they do, they may be elderly and unable to act.
I would be pleased to offer a free will consultation, if you do not have a willand do not know where to start. I also offer a free will review for those thathave a will and want to make sure it is up to date and not a recipe for afamily disaster.

Officer forgets to put vehicle in park during Markham traffic stop
A York Regional Police traffic cop was left red faced Sunday morning after his SUV rear-ended the very car he had just pulled over.
The incident occurred just after 6 p.m. on Esna Park Drive, near Woodbine Avenue in Markham.
It was caught on another driver’s rear-facing camera as he passed the intersection.
The video shows the officer getting out of his vehicle and approaching the motor-
ist’s window before the police vehicle begins slowly rolling forward.
Moments before it collides with the car in front, the officer desperately tries to stop his marked SUV from rolling.
York Const. Andy Pattenden said an inves-tigation by the officer’s road sergeant, which occurs after each crash, found the officer forgot to put his vehicle in park.
Const. Pattenden said the motorist did not receive a traffic ticket and there were no injuries or visible damage.
- Jeremy Grimaldi
A man faces stunt driving charges after a York Regional Police officer spotted a motor-cycle travelling 117 kilometres per hour over the speed limit in Richmond Hill.
Just before 10:30 p.m. Sunday, the officer was conducting speed enforcement in the Hwy. 7 and Hunters Point Drive area.
The officer heard, then saw the blue Yamaha motorcycle on Hwy. 7.
A speed measuring device showed the bike was travelling 197 km/h in the 80 km/h zone.
A 21-year-old Vaughan man is charged with dangerous driving, stunt driving and
speeding. His motorcycle was impounded for seven days and his licence was suspend-ed.
Police encourage anyone who spots dan-gerous driving practices to call 911. Try to note the vehicle’s location, direction of travel, make, model and licence plate number, and a description of the driver.
Just last month on the same section of Hwy. 7, near Hunters Point Drive, three driv-ers were hurt in a multi-car collision, includ-ing a York Regional Police officer.

‘Long way to go’ says Bevilacqua, as father of gay son we have so much more work to do.”
Knegje is struggling to understand where such hate can come from.
“Hate exists in groups, it exists in a lot of different sectors. But, for me personally, I would like to believe that kind of hate is the random act of one individual who had obvi-ously suffered from something inside because that kind of act against humanity, against the LBGTQ community, against people in gen-eral, it’s mind-boggling to think it could be part of something greater,” she said.
“But the reality is, again, that hate exists and there are probably many people who feel the same way. It’s scary, but it’s important to recognize we do have work to do.”
Knegje emotionally described how mean-ingful it was to proudly raise the Pride flag at Vaughan city hall as 200 people looked on a day after the shooting.
“I’m obviously so upset and saddened and
shocked at what happened in Orlando and reeling from the emotions. To be able to have an event like we had — with strong support from the community and the ability to raise the flag and to show the strength of the com-munity and recognition of the victims and those who survived — it just felt important, it felt right to do something today,” she said.
“As much as there is great sadness and sor-row, it was a wonderful opportunity for us as a community to come together and say those who lost their lives are remembered ... the work we have to do continues. We continue to fight for basic human rights and for safety.”
Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua spoke movingly of the love and acceptance he has for his 28-year-old gay son, Jean-Paul.
“This is a very important day, as we recog-nize while many advances in human rights have been achieved, there’s a long way to go. I can tell you this personally, as the father of a gay man. The gay community faces many, many challenges,” he said.
“I went through it, personally. There’s a lot of confusion I know my son went through during his life. But there is only one way to deal with that, with the power of love, which, I think, is the resource that is required when-ever you are dealing with individuals who are being treated unfairly.”
Bevilacqua spoke of sitting in a church and his heart was filled with a sense he had to reach out to his son.
“At that time, I did not know that my son is gay. But I wrote him a text right there in that church and I talked to him about how I was so proud to see parents and children together ... children whose parents had actually rejected them, and then at that moment they came together,” he said.
“I wrote that note to my son and a couple of weeks later, my son came out as a gay man. I don’t know where that message came from, but I know I had to reach out to him back then and I did. I’m happy I did because the last thing you want for a human being is to deny who he
or she really is, to live the life of a lie ... that is really inconsistent with their very essence as people. There are tens of thousands of people in this region faced with the same challenges ... and many reasons why we need to reach out to every single person.”
The region’s annual Pride Parade, taking place Saturday at 2 p.m. in Richmond Hill, beginning at the intersection of Yonge Street and Crosby Avenue, is usually a day of cel-ebration. This year’s event will be overshad-owed by the sorrow and anger of the Orlando shooting, York Pride Fest director of develop-ment and communications, Jacob Gal, said.
“Everyone is trying to get into the mood, but it’s hard to celebrate when so many people have died,” he said.
Gal hopes people will get more involved with Pride and help spread the word about respect, support and comfort.
“Orlando is a big reminder about why we have Pride,” he said.

Latifi has eyes on Formula One
Story and photos by Jim RobinsonMetroland Media
MONTREAL, PQ: It was more just a homecoming for Nickolas Latifi - it was the dream of a lifetime.
The 20-year-old Canadian is a test driver for the Renault Sport For-mula One team and was on hand at the Canadian Grand Prix in Mon-
treal this weekend.It is the first time a Canadian driver has been in F1 in a decade.Only 20-years-old, the Montreal-born Latifi is currently working on
gaining his Super Licence, which will allow him to take part in at least one Free Practice session during this year’s F1 season.
He has already been told he has met all the criteria necessary to have the licence that allows him to compete at the highest levels of motorsports.
A busy man, Latifi is also a driver for the championship-winning DAMS squad in this season’s GP2 Series, which is the main feeder cat-egory into F1.
He has competed in two GP2 races this year starting with Barcelona where he finished a strong second near the end.
“The race was shortened by one lap,” he said. “If not, I’m sure that I could have won.”
In the second race at Monaco on the grand prix weekend, he was not so lucky but is now focused on the next race June 17-19 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
At 20, it’s hard to believe his professional racing career officially start-ed in only 2009, but he has covered a lot of ground since competing in karts, Formula 3, the Toyota Racing Series, the Porsche Carrera Cup and Formula Renault 3.5 racing in Canada, Italy, Great Britain, New Zealand, USA and Europe.
While he was born in Montreal, his family moved to Richmond Hill when he was six months old.
“I have good memories of Richmond Hill,” he said. “I can still remem-ber my address.”
He attended the Toronto Montessori School in Richmond Hill before Continued on page 13

the family moved when he was eight-years-old to North York which he still calls home.
Latifi says his plan is to concentrate on GP2 for the next two years and, with luck and solid driving, move up to F1.
When asked what it would be like to drive a F1 car in Montreal, he said, “Of course it’s a dream but I’m confident I can do it.”
Here in Canada, Infiniti sees Latifi as a wonderful way to bring the recognition of the excitement of F1 to a Canadian audi-ence and, more to the point, the Infiniti Canada dealer body.”
“I speak on behalf of everyone at Infiniti Canada in congratulating Nicholas Latifi on his new role for Renault Sport Formula One Team. We are absolutely thrilled to see a Canadian driver on the roster,” said Stephen Lester, managing director of In-finiti Canada.
“Formula One quickly evolved into a cornerstone of our business strategy since Infiniti first partnered with Red Bull Racing in 2011.
“Having Nicholas on the Renault Sport Formula One Team for the year ahead is an exciting prospect, as Infiniti continues to grow its presence in Canada with an expanding lineup, and now a Canadian driver with boundless talent.”
Latifi comes to the team which sees Infiniti as the technical partner of Renault which means Infiniti is using its expertise in performance hybrids to help in the co-development of the Renault Energy F1 Power Unit’s Energy Recovery System (ERS), which incorporates two motor gen-erator units, the MGU-H and MGU-K, and a battery.
In return, Infiniti will use the experience from the F1 ERS system to further enhance its hybrid powertrains for road cars.

If you see trees being cut down or moved in the Bathurst and Cen-tre Streets area of Thornhill, don’t be alarmed, Vaughan Councillor Alan Shefman says.
It is just part of the construction process for Viva’s rapid transit lanes.
Bathurst and Centre Streets are being widened for rapid ways — dedi-cated lanes in the centre of the road used for bus rapid transit. Trees that are within the road widening area need to be removed to allow for water main replacement, utility relocation and road widening work activities, according to information from the VivaNext website.
“I’ve had a few people asking what was going on,” Shefman said, and some concerns about the tree-cutting have come to The Liberal newsroom.
This is the domain of Viva and York Region, but not the City of Vaughan. However, Shefman says York Region and Viva have shared many of their plans with the city.
He said the trees must be removed as they interfere with the construction process.
Starting the week of May 23, crews began the first phase of tree removals along Bathurst and Centre Streets, in preparation for water main replace-ment work.
During the first phase of removals, 156 trees of varying health and sizes are being removed from York Region’s right-of-way. An effort will be made to protect 841 existing trees. In addition, 38 trees will be transplanted to three parks in Thornhill.
Shefman said he has been told residents in the area will end up with more trees when construction is fin-ished and replanting is done. He sug-gests going to the Viva website.
Phase one of the tree clearing will be completed by the end of this week, so long as there aren’t any weather delays.
Workers are completing various tasks at different locations along both sides of Bathurst (from Centre Street to 407 ETR) and along Centre (from Hwy. 7 to Bathurst) on the existing Viva route.
Once the rapidway project is com-plete, landscaping will feature more than 1,000 new trees and 8,000 shrubs. The species of trees being removed during this initial phase are Emer-ald Ash, Russian Olive, Honey Locust, Maples, Cedar, Basswood, Oak, Elm, Linden, Aspen, Cherry and Spruce.
Once the rapidway is built, the goal is to present a Hwy. 7 West corridor with “attractive, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and extensive landscap-ing with many types of trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses and perennial flowers,” according to Vivanext site.

General Motors vehicles will now have a ‘Made in Markham’ sticker.
Announced Friday, GM is expanding its engineering and software development core with a focus on new automotive systems and technologies for the future.
Part of the expansion includes building a new research and development facility in Markham.
“We are very proud of Markham’s status as Cana-da’s high-tech capital and thrilled that the new General Motors’ R&D centre is coming to Markham,” Mayor Frank Scarpitti said. “With over 1,100 high-tech and life sciences companies, our city is an ideal location for this new centre for information technology and automotive innovation.”
New engineering work will focus on autonomous vehicle software, active safety technology and infotain-ment and connected mobility systems.
“We selected Canada for this expansion because of its clear capacity for innovation, proven talent and strong ecosystem of great universities, startups and innovative suppliers,” GM global product development executive vice-president, Mark Reuss said.
“With this expansion, GM Canada will play an impor-tant role in our evolution toward vehicles that are con-nected, autonomous, shared and electric.”
GM is adding an additional engineering 1,000 jobs, with about 300 to be in the existing Oshawa tech centre and the remainder housed in the new Markham facility.
The exact location and investment amount into Markham’s software development centre have yet to be announced.
Markham is already home to Honda Canada’s head-quarters as well as MOBIS, a parts and logistics distribu-tion facility for Hyundai and Kia.

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.

Kindred Spirits presents night of majesty in MarkhamThe Kindred Spirits Orchestra presents
Majesty, Brilliance and Victory, the final instalment of their Subscription Series at Flato Markham Theatre on Thursday, June 30 at 8 p.m.
Led by Maestro Kristian Alexander, patrons can look forward to works by beloved composers Nielsen, Dvorak, and Shostakovich.
Carl Nielsen described his Helios Over-ture as, “Silence and darkness. The sun rises with a joyous song of praise. It wanders its golden way and sinks quietly”.
In 1902, Nielsen signed a contract with a publisher, allowing him to go to Athens, to join his wife, Anne Marie, who was studying Greek art. Nielsen, a man of many interests, was interested in archaeology.
The local conservatory placed a study room with a piano at Nielsen’s disposal.
Here he could sit and compose when he was not on excursions in the surround-ing mountains with or without Anne Marie. Nielsen’s stay in Athens gave him the inspira-tion of a work depicting the sun rising and setting over the Aegean Sea.
Dvorak’s Violin Concerto in A minor, per-formed by international sensation Andrew Sords, is sure to amaze and astonish.
Written in close proximity to his first series of Slavonic Dances, the concerto shares its compelling folkloric melodies and over-all positive expression. The piece is one of Dvorak’s most popular, virtuosic, and most frequently performed works.
After brief refreshments and Q & A with Sords and celebrity host Alexa Petrenko (Classical 96.3 FM), the humour and wit of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 9 is sure to
please.In the spring of 1945, as the Soviet army
pushed into Germany, Shostakovich told the press he was working on “a symphony of vic-tory with a song of praise.”
What Shostakovich finished in August 1945 was a surprise to everyone. It was small in scale and full of humor instead of hero-ism. Shostakovich said, “Musicians will love to play it and critics will delight in blasting it”.

A BETTER COMMUTE
Starting June 27
O RICHMOND HILL
1,500more seatsduring the evening rush
Everyone is invited to enjoy the York Region Pride Parade Saturday, June 18 at 2 p.m. in Richmond Hill, presented by York Pride Fest.
The colourful parade starts at 2 p.m. at the intersection of Yonge Street and Crosby Avenue, travelling south down Yonge past the theatre, before turning east on Lorne Avenue past Elgin Barrow Arena to the Town Park, behind the arena.
That portion of Yonge Street will be
closed to traffic during the parade, between approximately 1 and 3:15 p.m.
York Pride Fest announces that Rev. War-ren McDougall and Rev. Linda Butler, minis-ters at Richmond Hill United Church, will be the parade grand marshals this year.
The two have a combined ministry of 72 years of serving the community, and both are retiring at the end of June.
Richmond Hill United Church has also been selected as an honoured group in this
year’s parade, recognizing the significant contribution of the church congregation to the promotion of inclusivity, acceptance and equality, and also celebrating the status of their church as an Affirming Ministry of the United Church.
York Regional Police will be among the other parade participants.
The parade will end up at the Pride in the Park event, taking place all afternoon at the Town Park, from noon to 5:30 p.m.
The community fair will feature food, drink, live entertainment, fully interactive kids zone and more.
Parking is available in the parking lot between Town Park and Elgin Barrow Arena, accessible via Pugsley Avenue and Vern Dynes Way.

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 determinewhenyouhear 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 1.888.408.7377

Richmond Hill, Thornhill golfers play well at junior tour event
Andre Zhu led the field when he took to the fairways at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour Erixon Series event at Guelph Lakes Golf Club in Guelph last weekend.
The nine-year-old Richmond Hill resi-dent won the Peewee Boys crown after card-ing a two-round, 13-over par 155 (73-82) on the par 71, 4,821-yard course.
Zhu won by a comfortable margin of 17 strokes over his nearest rival Oliver Taillefer, 12, of Sudbury.
Elated with his accomplishment and
confident in his chances entering the tour-nament, Zhu attributed a major segment of his success to his short game.
Among other York Region residents who competed, Lauren Zaretsky of Thornhill fin-ished second in the U-15 Girls division.
The 12-year-old Zaretsky finished with a two-round 177 (91-86) and finished 13 strokes behind winner Madelin Boyd of Oshawa.

Thornhill Reds suffer loss to Bulldogs
The Thornhill Reds saw their three-game winning streak come to an end after they suf-fered a 9-3 road loss to the East York Bulldogs in Greater Toronto Baseball League action Monday.
With the Reds nursing a 2-1 lead through three innings, the Bulldogs turned the tables after erupting with three runs in the fourth
inning, four in the fifth and one in the sixth to take a 9-2 advantage.
The Reds added one run in the seventh, but could get no closer.
Chris Bloom and Cal Mui each delivered two hits and Sean Sutton had two RBIs for the Reds.
The Reds still occupy first place in the league, and were to play last place Bolton Brewers last night.
