Steeles study eyes widening, GO track overpass/underpass Change may finally be coming to one of the more congested stretches of Steeles Avenue in Scarborough. The City of Toronto, which owns both sides of the road, has started studying a grade separation for the GO Transit train tracks on Steeles midway between Kennedy Road and Midland Avenue. If an overpass or underpass is built, this section of Steeles may be widened from four to six lanes and bicycle lanes and pedestrian improvements may be added. A grade separation for the crossing, accompanied by a widening of Steeles, has been studied before, as far back as the 1980s. The work was seen as both a key to easing the chronic traffic bottleneck east

of Kennedy and a way to facilitate new commercial development on both sides of Steeles, but Toronto and York Region disagreed in the past on how to pay for it. That may have changed now that the province is acting on its plans for a Regional Express Rail and the city is proposing SmartTrack, both requiring more frequent service on the GO Stouffville line. The city said the Steeles Avenue East Bridge Study, as the project is known, is still in preliminary stages, but drilling for soil samples will take place along the road from mid-December to late January. Drilling on Steeles itself and moving the drilling equipment “may result in temporary disruption to local traffic,” the city’s work notice added this week.

Test drilling starts for McCowan subway route Machines moving dirt from boreholes on Danforth Road MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com

Toronto police have released a surveillance camera image of a suspect sought in an assault and criminal harassment investigation near Scarborough Town Centre.

Suspect sought in incident involving Muslim girl Police have released a security camera image of a suspect in an apparent hate crime against a Muslim girl near the Scarborough Centre RT stop. Police said a woman pulled at the girl’s hijab, kicked her, and yelled profanities at her on the Scarborough RT around 3 p.m. last Thursday. Both then left RT and went to the bus platform where the woman continued to make racist comments about the girl’s attire. The suspect is 20 to 30 years old, about 5’5” tall with shoulder-length dark hair. She was wearing dark-framed prescription glasses, a blue bomber-style winter jacket, jeans and black shoes and was carrying a beige purse. – Andrew Palamarchuk Anyone with information is asked to call police at 416808-4300 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477 (TIPS) or https://222tips.com

Soil was coming out of boreholes on Danforth Road last week, some of the first dirt moved for the Scarborough Subway, and Glenn De Baeremaeker couldn’t have been happier. “I’m getting calls. ‘What are those weird machines?’ A lot of people are asking,” said the Scarborough Centre councillor, who was made a deputy mayor a year ago to help get the Bloor-Danforth subway extension started. The shouting still isn’t over on whether the Scarborough Subway should be built at all, despite what De Baeremaeker, Mayor John Tory, or Scarborough’s MPPs have said. But the basic route for the thing has been decided, though unofficially: it’s going up McCowan Road, as De Baeremaeker and other supporters always thought it would. “There’s an emerging direction with McCowan,” Hilary Holden, from the city’s transportation planning department, said standing by a drilling rig in front of a bungalow opposite Makinac Crescent. “Practicalities suggest McCowan is more promising.” Officially, three extension routes, the McCowan, Mi d l a n d a n d B e l l a m y, remain in contention, but the boreholes demonstrate the department’s mind is made up. It’s not test-drilling the other two corridors, looking for groundwater layers, boulders, and which mix of clay, gravel and silt tunnel borers would go through.

It has only drilled the McCowan route and areas common to all three: Kennedy Station, Scarborough Town Centre, and McCowan north of Hwy. 401. T h a t ’s f i n e w i t h D e Baeremaeker, who said an already-rejected route swinging east to Markham Road “surprised almost all of us,” and so did the Bellamy option. Midland, still technically under study, is closer to the GO Transit Rail corridor where Tory wants to build his SmartTrack commuter rail line. What’s holding up the announcement of McCowan as the Scarborough Subway corridor, which the city had expected to make by now, is the need for new projected ridership numbers. City officials said they will get those from the University of Toronto soon and make them, along with their corridor choice, known at public meetings in January or February. Then, using a TTC-boardapproved package of funds De Baeremaeker called “a $142-million Christmas gift for Scarborough,” there will be more boreholes The lack of and meetprojected ings, as the ridership extension numbers is with three delaying the stops (or announcement four, if the councillor of McCowan convinces as the subway the city corridor in to pay for Scarborough. another at Eglinton Avenue and Danforth Road) gets into an exact alignment, with plans for stations. But the projected ridership

could still be a big obstacle. When Toronto Council switched support in 2013 from a planned and funded seven-stop, light-rail transit line (running on the surface, but away from traffic) to a three-stop subway extension, the city’s original number was 9,000 per peak hour. And then it was reported to be 9,000 to 14,000 per peak hour, De Baeremaeker recalled last week. “Some people – like me – danced,” he added, “figuring that strengthened our case.” Some of his downtown colleagues, De Baeremaeker conceded, were upset with that report, saying it was “‘fixed’ and not real.” But whatever the new numbers are – and “nobody really knows them now” – council approved the subway at 9,000 an hour, he argued.

2,OOO

“When the numbers come out I’m going to be very confident going into council recommending a subway, as will the mayor.” As to whether SmartTrack, proposed last year, will take riders away from the extension, De Baeremaeker said, “I’m OK with that.” Asked about continuing criticism of the project as illogical or wasteful, the deputy mayor said the Eglinton Crosstown LRT line will carry less people, and cost twice as much, $8 billion. “This is why I feel we’ve been under attack i n S c a r b o r o u g h ,” D e Baeremaeker said, adding though detractors such as St. Paul’s Councillor Josh Matlow say it’s not too late to return to the LRT plan in Scarborough, Ontario

Premier Kathleen Wynne and her ministers say they’re building a subway. “My response (to Matlow and others) is ‘what LRT?’” De Baeremaeker added. “When they say there’s a fully funded LRT, where is it?” Reached later, Matlow said De Baeremaeker’s arguments about the extension and the Eglinton Crosstown made no sense. “No reasonable person, even most Scarborough Subway extension advocates, would ever suggest that a subway would be less expensive to build than an LRT,” Matlow wrote on Friday. “The Crosstown is more than double the length of the proposed Scarborough Subway extension and is costing the City of Toronto no money. They’re not even comparable.”

Citizens must condemn ‘blip’ of gun violence W

hile the recent uptick in gun violence that took place in Toronto this past week shouldn’t be cause for alarm, it should be a call for law-abiding citizens to condemn any violent crimes regardless of where they occur in the city. Beginning Friday afternoon, a fatal drive-by shooting was reported in the entertainment district downtown, which was followed by a separate shooting incident at a small plaza minutes away from Fairview Mall near Don Mills Road and Sheppard Avenue. The following night, police responded to a call after gunfire erupted at Keele Street and Eglinton Avenue where a baby shower was taking place in a nearby building. Police Chief Mark Saunders reassured the public that Toronto remains one of the safest urban cities in North America, calling the our view rash of weekend violence “a blip.” He added that police will be Join groups doing what they can to bring the number of shooting inciworking dents down. for safe But it’s not just a police and law enforcement issue. communities Whenever gun violence is reported anywhere in the city, there’s a danger in the complacency felt by residents when they discover such violent acts have taken place in another neighbourhood. Instead of just reading the headlines in the newspaper and shrugging a shoulder, there may be opportunities to get involved with organizations that are already working to make communities safer through a number of outreach initiatives. Perhaps more can be done to ensure residents and businesses in at-risk neighbourhoods feel less neglected and isolated by demonstrating any violence in the city is unacceptable. Torontonians do indeed have the privilege of living in a safe city, but it’ll take more than just the police doing their jobs to keep it that way. So while it shouldn’t be a cause for alarm that Toronto streets are no longer safe, it should be a cause for concern that not all violent crimes are taken seriously. newsroom ph:

Former mayor’s tax breeds complacency

et us take a moment to sing the praises of David Miller. This has not been a popular pastime for many years. Indeed, it made one suspect in certain circles from nearly the moment Torontonians decided to elect him mayor in 2003. Try saying a good word about Miller in 2007, the year he strong-armed Toronto councillors into approving the Municipal Land Transfer Tax (MLTT), and you’d be run out of certain parts of town even whistling a happy tune. Well, that was then. On Tuesday morning, Toronto’s new City Manager Peter Wallace made it clear that everybody – taxa-phobic conservatives and spend-o-philes in the ranks of the municipal New Democratic Party, and everybody in between – owe it all to the blond lawyer from High Park and his notion of raising revenues by taxing real estate

david nickle the city transactions. The Municipal Land Transfer Tax, Wallace explained at the 2016 operating and capital budget launch, is the single biggest factor in allowing Toronto Council to balance budgets with modest tax increases and reasonable service levels. Nothing has saved this city’s bacon like it. OK, that’s enough singing now. Miller’s land transfer tax was what you might call an excellent bet in a highstakes game that led to a series of very lucky breaks for the city. Revenue from the tax that adds a percentage to real estate transactions has grown steadily year by year, just as the value of real estate transactions has increased, in each year exceeding expectations of finance staff very

dramatically. Wallace laid it bare. When property tax revenues were increasing by around two to two-anda-half per cent a year, the city’s revenue was increasing by about five-and-ahalf per cent, and that – not service cuts, not operating efficiencies, not the elimination of trains of gravy – were what kept the city afloat. He also pointed out it is unrealistic to expect this to continue. That’s still not bad – but it also won’t do. In 2016, the land transfer tax revenue will contribute to the $200 million in new revenue, up $50 million from the $150 million of new revenue the city floated on in 2015. In 2017, Wallace figures we’re looking at $100 million. That means that left on its own, Toronto will not be able to deal with its real inflationary rate – four to four-and-a-half per cent – using its existing revenue tools and keeping property

taxes at historic rates. Politicians can respond to this in a couple of ways. One, they can genuinely reduce the size of local government to fall in line with inflationary property tax increases. That will mean cutting services, limiting growth, tough labour negotiations and firing staff. Or they can go to property taxpayers and tell them to pay more – a lot more – to maintain the city in which they live, and admit that inflation is what the city, not the Bank of Canada, says it is in this town. It will be a job in itself to summon the will to take either course. Because while Miller’s gift of the land transfer tax has given an ephemeral respite from hard choices, one lasting legacy is complacency.

“Emma can I get another 10 feet of string please” the teenage boy shouts as he quickly runs back from the busy Markham Road frontage of the Christmas tree lot. This is the Boy Scouts. The Rovers aged 18 and 26, are part of the 2nd Scarborough Cedarbrook Rover Crew, which is selling trees in the valley on the west side of Markham Road between Eglinton and Lawrence. They are have been doing it since 1962 on city parkland, when an old tuck shop from the adjacent Scarborough Golf Club was moved and plonked in its current location in this pastoral valley setting. A real slice of Scarborough. The ramshackle shed is the land that time forgot, complete with golf cleat marks on the floor, and doubles as the Rovers clubhouse for weekly meetings all year round. “Betsy”, the portable heater, provides a minimum of heat for the volunteers on this busy

john lyon LYON AROUND Saturday. “George” is a suit of armour that harkens to St. George and the British roots of the Boy Scouts. Cases of pop, crackers and boxes of noodles fuel the volunteers. “Scouting is hard in the city,” says Angelo Donatelli, a Cedarbrae Collegiate graduate who has been helping the Rovers with the trees for 20 years. “When it comes to Scouts, kids are more interested in computers, email, Facebook.” Donatelli said he enjoys helping the young kids learn about the business planning aspect of tree sales. “A friend dragged me in 20 years ago and I never looked back” he says. The Rovers offer a fine selection of trees to choose from. The Rovers motto is “Service” and they certainly

provide it. They can’t deliver trees by vehicle for insurance reasons, but once a volunteer carried a tree up Markham Road to a nearby residence. His reward? He was sent home for being too tired. People come back to the lot year after year from as far away as Alliston, Newmarket, Bowmanville, Acton and Guelph. The McKenzie family arrived to choose their tree complete with their dog Murphy and an open tablet in hand. Turns out they Skyped in their daughter, Katie, for the tradition. They’ve been coming since the kids were born and since Katie was at university this year, she was still able to participate through technology. The profits fund the Rovers’ service exploits through the year. John Lyon is a longtime Scarborough resident. His column appears every second Thursday in The Mirror.

ARREST OF NORTH AMERICA’S MOST WANTED FUGITIVE IN 1985 MADE CLIVE RICHARDS A HERO IN THE U.S. ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com

oronto police officer Clive Richards was at the right place at the right time 30 years ago, and that place was Scarborough’s Golden Mile. That March night, the 41 Division constable would step into the annals of true crime history: he would capture North America’s most wanted fugitive, a killer so diabolical he might have inspired parts of Thomas Harris’ The Silence of The Lambs. Richards was getting ready for his afternoon shift March 2, 1985 when a clerk passed on a last-minute message: be on the lookout for a white Toyota Tercel with New York plates. The car was registered to computer programmer Beverly Capone but was being driven by Alex J. Mengel, Days earlier, he had murdered her and police officer Gary Stymiloski – and in a horrific twist, removed Capone’s scalp and wore the grisly wig as a disguise to get across the border. A sadistic killer, Mengel was referenced in Harris’ novel Silence of the Lambs, which went on to become an Academy Award-winning movie. Richards and his fellow officers had jotted down the vehicle description and licence plate before heading out for their shift on that cold, snowy Saturday in March. “You get inundated with looking for people, cars and licence plates,” Richards recalled in a recent interview from his Etobicoke home. “You can’t remember everything, so it was just another thing you write in your memo book.” Richards was on his own, assigned to patrol the Golden Mile area along Eglinton Avenue near Pharmacy Avenue in Scarborough. “I was driving along and I see this car parked right outside a store,” he said. “As I go past it, I thought, ‘Wait a minute, that was a Toyota Tercel with New York plates.’” A man was sitting in the Tercel; Richards had his memo book in his pocket. “I can’t stop and take my book out because if this is the guy, he’s just killed two people and we knew he was armed with at least two guns. I thought, ‘What am I going to do? I don’t want to drive too

ALEX MENGEL WAS REFERENCED IN THE NOVEL ‘SILENCE OF THE LAMBS’, WHICH WENT ON TO BECOME AN ACADEMY AWARDWINNING MOVIE.

far, I don’t want to reverse, I don’t want to get out of the car and get shot.’” Richards decided to take a quick spin around the block. “After I passed him, I quickly got my memo book. I was ready with the licence plate and the description,” he said. “Then I came back around where this car was parked and it wasn’t there.” After a quick search of the area though, Richards spotted the vehicle again and came face to face with Mengel. “I saw the licence plate, and it is the car, and your pulse goes up,” said Richards. “The guy was looking at me, and I was looking at him, so I think he knew what I knew.” Richards didn’t get out of his car. Instead, he backed up a bit and called for assistance. “At that point, he (Mengel) put it in gear and just went off up onto Eglinton,” Richards said. “I just pulled in right behind him.” As the chase headed west on Eglinton, Mengel was seen rolling down his car window. “I put over the radio, ‘Don’t overtake this guy because

he’s getting ready to shoot. Stay behind me and let’s see what happens,’” Richards recalled. The Tercel, with its driver’s door partially open, hit a snowbank near a car dealership on Eglinton. On impact, the door flew open and the gun Mengel was holding slid out. “He was so scared. I didn’t see anyone with their hands so high,” Richards said of Mengel’s surrender. “We knew he didn’t have a gun on him at that point and then we arrested him.” Police found Capone’s scalp in the Tercel and two guns in and around the car. One gun had been used to kill Stymiloski, the other had been stolen from the slain officer. Richards disarmed himself before getting in the back seat of a cruiser with Mengel, and another officer drove them to the 41 Division station at Eglinton and Birchmount for processing. News of the arrest made Richards an instant celebrity in the United States. “They went crazy in the States,” he said, noting he

was flooded with interview requests from media outlets, including the New York Times. “My name was right across all the papers down there.” Richards was flown to New York City three times to receive awards, meet the relatives of Mengel’s victim, and testify at grand jury hearings. He was even given the key to Westchester County. “I was treated like royalty,”

said Richards. “There was a lineup of people wanting to drive us around.” Richards rose up the ranks to detective sergeant and retired from the service in November 2014. Mengel, 30, was shot dead while trying to escape from custody in a New York State police car on the Taconic State Parkway April 26, 1985. Unearthing a Serial Killer, a recently released book by David Paul and Kevin McMurray, has also linked Mengel to the July 1984 abduction and murder of 12-year-old Antonella Mattina in New York City. Antonella’s skull was found in November 1987 off the same parkway where Mengel tried to make his escape and was killed by police. In a phone interview, Paul described the moments before

and after Mengel murdered officer Stymiloski, 27, during a routine traffic stop in Yonkers, New York. “He calmly states to the front passenger in his car, ‘Michael, when you hear the gunshot, drive the car home.’ There is a calmness in Mengel that only comes from experience,” said Paul, who himself is a retired police officer. “After he shoots Gary Stymiloski in the head, he hijacks his police car while Stymiloski is dying in the police car. I cannot find another record of such an incident in American police history... We’ve found a lot where the police officer has been shot, and he’s on the road and the guy steals his car, but never when he’s still in the car. Then he has the wherewithal to rob Gary Stymiloski of his service revolver. This all demonstrates a high level of criminal sophistication.” Pa u l s a i d Me n g e l , a Guyanese-born tool and die maker, would’ve surely tried to kill Richards had he not fumbled his gun. “I guarantee you,” said Paul, “if he got a grip on that gun, he’s going to shoot him.” What was on Richards’ mind during the dramatic arrest? “I was just making sure no one would get shot...I guess you do what you have to do at the time,” he said. “Afterwards, when you start thinking about it, you realize what could’ve happened. A lot of ‘what ifs’ go through your mind.”

Beer sales debut at five Toronto grocery stores Loblaw Companies Limited began selling beer Tuesday in 19 of its Ontario grocery stores with five in Toronto. The stores will eventually stock hundreds of beer varieties, including Ontario and local craft beers. Premier Kathleen Wynne launched the sale of beer in participating provincial grocery stores during a press conference Tuesday morning at the Leslie Street and Lake Shore Road Loblaws in Toronto.

“We have embarked on the biggest shake up to alcohol sales in Ontario since the end of Prohibition,” said Wynne to applause from a crowd of Ontario craft beer representatives, store officials and provincial politicians. “Craft brewers can now grow in a fair and efficient beer market.” As the assortment and display space expands into January, the largest-format beer sections could include more than 200 varieties of

import, domestic and Ontario craft beer. Loblaws intends to allocate 50 per cent of shelf space to local or craft beer, and will provide additional opportunities for regional favourites on a store-by-store basis. “Our customers shop with us for all the flavours and ingredients of great meals and today we can better serve that demand with the announcement that beer is here,” said Grant Froese, chief operat-

��

ing officer of Loblaw Companies Limited, in a press release. “This is a historic first step for our company and for the Ontario government, giving customers the greater convenience of shopping for groceries and beer in one stop.” Wynne said that eventually beer sales in grocery will be rolled out to 450 eligible stores across the province. The following Toronto Loblaw Companies Limited locations

started beer sales this week: n Loblaws, 50 Musgrave St., near Victoria Park and Gerrard; n Real Canadian Superstore, 2549 Weston Rd.; n Real Canadian Superstore, 51 Gerry Fitzgerald Dr. (Dufferin and Steeles); n Loblaws, 17 Leslie St. (Leslie and Lakeshore); n Loblaws, Burnhamthorpe Market, 380 The East Mall. in Etobicoke.

Track star signs with Syracuse at Scarborough school MICHAEL HAYAKAWA mhayakawa@yrmg.com Ebhani Blackwood found herself in a situation many high students wish they could find themselves in. What the 17-year-old Grade 12 Bill Crothers Secondary School student faced was one of choice. To be specific, Blackwood had the opportunity to mull over several university athletic scholarships presented her way. Excelling in the triple jump, along with running the 200and 400 metres as a member of the Bill Crothers Secondary School Colts’ track and field team in Markham along with the Speed Academy club, Blackwood recently decided to sign a National Collegiate Athletic Association letter of intent to attend Syracuse University. The signing ceremony took place at Blackwood’s former elementary school in Scarborough, William Tredway Junior Public School, in the Bellamy Road and Lawrence

a tough decision,” Blackwood said. In deciding to enrol at the Syracuse, N.Y.-based school, she revealed it did not come to a snap decision. Rather, Blackwood took her time in the thought process after carefully weighing sev-

eral factors. From an athletic perspective, Blackwood paid close attention to the school’s track and training facilities, coaching and support staff that included their trainers and therapists. Also factoring in her decision was the school’s geographic location and proximity to her GTA residence , academic programs offered and what the scholarship package entailed. “There’s so much incorporated into picking a school,” she said. But one major consideration that ultimately swayed Blackwood into choosing Syracuse University was in the interest they showed in her accomplishments in the sport. Blackwood recalled that began during her first year at Bill Crothers Secondary School in Grade 9 where she won the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations midget girls’ long jump and triple jump. The following year as a junior competitor, she retained those titles at

William Tredway Junior Public School, Blackwood was quick to acknowledge much of what she’s accomplished thus far in the sport would not have been possible were it not for a couple of individuals. Among those include her mother, Allison, who has kept her eating habits in close check through the years along with driving her to and from countless practices. On the track, Blackwood was quick to give praise to her Speed Academy coach in Tony Sharpe. Especially in the 400m where he helped her shave five seconds off her time to where her current personal best is 54.59 seconds and has her ranked third in Canada in her age group. A l s o w i t h t h e Sp e e d Academy, Blackwood said assistant sprint coach Tony Broderick has been instrumental in strengthening her psychological approach. In her triple jumping, she credits Patrick Russell, who doubles as her coach at Bill Crothers and the Speed Academy.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas... on the Danforth. Crossroads of the Danforth Business Improvement Area kicked off the holiday season with its 4th Annual Light up the Crossroads event on the evening of Friday, November 27. People of all ages braved the weather to take part in the festivities at the corner of Danforth Avenue and Danforth Road. Business owners decked out their storefronts with bright lights for the celebration. Attendees sipped hot chocolate and ate cookies while listening to the musical styling’s of Patrick Domagala. Members of the community joined Patrick on stage for some carolling. Crossroads of the Danforth BIA Chair, Joe Murillo, lit the statuesque fir and thanked the crowd for coming out on the blustery evening. “On behalf of the Crossroads of the Danforth BIA we would like to thank all the residents who came out and supported

the special evening and to everyone who participated,” says coordinator, John Beers. “We hope the tree lighting event helped people connect with their neighbours and get into the holiday spirit.” The tree lighting is one of many events that happen in the Oakridge community. The biggest being the annual Wheels on the Danforth festival put on by the BIA in August. Organizers hope Crossroads of the Danforth BIA community events continue to grow and help foster relationships between local residents and merchants. Crossroads of the Danforth BIA represents the area of Dan-

forth Avenue stretching from Victoria Park to Scotia Avenue. For more information on the organization, its business members and upcoming events, visit www.codbia.ca or call 416-6938300.

The practice has been in place during peak hours on the busy 501 Queen, 504 King and 510 Spadina lines. Now all streetcars will allow riders to board from any door at any time or day provided they have a valid proof of payment, such as a transfer or a Metropass. Anyone who needs to purchase a fare will still have to enter at the front of the vehicle, with the exception of the new streetcars that have vending machines on board.

TAXI APP BILLS ITSELF AS ALL-IN-ONE SERVICE A new mobile app promises to make it easy to order a cab right from your smartphone. Developed by Cellwand, The Ride bills itself as an all-in-one service for hailing taxis as well as locating carshares and planning transit trips. According to a press release announcing its launch, the app is directly linked to 6,000 taxis across the country, with plans to add 3,000 more. The Ride also promises to allow access to a cab dispatcher should an e-hailing option be unavailable. Currently there’s no way to arrange payment directly through the app a la Uber, and a “convenience fee” of

For some weeks, this column has breathlessly counted down the impending end of the early Yonge line subway closure for service north of Eglinton Station. For well over seven years, anyone who needed to travel in between Eglinton and Finch Station six days a week after 12:30 a.m. was forced to board a bus so TTC work crews could have enough time each night to carry out essential tunnel repairs. Now it can be announced: the practice will officially end as of 2 a.m. Friday. Good times are (almost) here again. Rahul Gupta is Metroland Media Toronto’s transit reporter.
