FIRE MARS GOOD WEEK Last week was shaping up to be a happy time for the Marner family of Thornhill. Son Mitch Marner, top Maple Leaf draft pick, earned the OHL Outstanding Player award and was playing in the OHL finals. As his parents headed to watch their son’s game, neighbours called to say their Autumn Hill Blvd. home was on fire. See story, page 9.

Backlash intensifies over taller Sobeys plaza project By Simone Joseph

Controversial development plans for Sobeys plaza in Thornhill near Clark and Hilda avenues will be discussed at a City of Vaughan public hearing June 21. In November 2015, RioCan presented its plan to develop the plaza, formally known as SpringFarm Marketplace, at a packed residents meeting at Garnet A. Williams Community Centre. At that point, the plan included building an 18-storey condo with retail and a stacked townhouse block. RioCan said it wanted to create an upgraded, walkable shopping

community. Since then, two additional storeys have been added to the plan and residents have been contacting Thornhill Councillor Alan Shefman daily, asking what is happening with the project and saying they are not in favour of it, he said.

ation, hopes RioCan begins to listen to residents’ suggestions. Next month’s hearing will likely begin with a presentation by the developer, Shefman said. Then, residents will have a chance to give five-minute public deputations. A report with staff recommendations will later go to council, Shefman said, predicting Vaughan council will discuss the issue in November or December. Shefman plans to vote against the developer’s application. “I would trust my colleagues to follow my lead and see this is not an appropriate project for this situation,” Shefman said.

RioCan has likely taken its project to the Ontario Municipal Board, because the proposed height of the condo building exceeds the height allowed in the city’s official plan designation, Shefman said. The official plan allows for between four and six storeys, while the developer wants the building to be 20 storeys tall, according to Shefman. A continuing problem is the traffic circulation issue, Shefman said. He is not concerned about an increase in traffic, but rather about cars having access to the plaza.

At a Mother’s Day Tea Party held at Bathurst Clark Resource Library in Thornhill, heartfelt motherly love and pride in their offspring was very evident. Dina Taha (above, left) folds both arms around son Malik Oran, while at the same event, mom Carmen Tay has her arms around her son John Chau, while they talk about the activities on tap. Children of all ages were invited to bring their moms to the Vaughan library branch to enjoy tea and fun activities.

The creators of Thornhill-based Yogen Fruz may have entered into a contract to buy the Promenade Mall, according to sources this week. Brothers Michael and Aaron Serruya want to buy the mall, according to real estate website BuzzBuzzhome news. The brothers launched the first Yogen Fruz store in the Thornhill mall in 1986, the same year The Promenade opened at Bathurst Street and Clark Avenue West. Yogen Fruz has expanded into more than 1,400 locations, operating in over 47 countries, with about 270 stores in Canada. The Serruyas immigrated to Canada from Morocco in 1966. They were part of an early wave of Jewish immigration caused by growing anti-Semitism. Michael and Aaron noticed that frozen yogurt stands were popular in the U.S., but were practically non-existent in Canada. The first Yogen Fruz opened at the Promenade

Mall on a hot August day in 1986. There is still an outlet at the Promenade, along with stores at nearby Centrepoint Mall at Yonge Street in Thornhill and Hillcrest Mall in Richmond Hill. Calls and emails to Yogen Fruz headquarters and the Toronto Real Estate Board’s York Region office have not been returned by press time. RBC Capital Markets could not confirm information about the selling of the mall. An investment management firm, Serruya Private Equity, gave the brothers a stake in a variety of major companies, such as American Apparel and Cold Stone Creamery. Cadillac Fairview, which currently owns The Promenade, is one of the largest commercial property owners in the world. Cadillac Fairview spent $45 million on upgrades to the property in 2009 and put the mall up for sale in February of this year. Some of the mall’s major tenants include Sears, T & T Supermarkets and Old Navy.

MOTHERLY LOVE

Photocopy snake family released into woodlot near school By AMANDA PERSICO

apersico@yrmg.com

Sending their children out into the world is an experience all mothers will at some point encounter. Even mothers in the wild. Over the Mother’s Day weekend, the Toronto Wildlife Centre released back into the wild nine brown snakes, a mom and eight babies. Once back in nature, the snakes will go their separate ways. Last winter, a harmless brown snake wiggled its way into St. Robert Catholic School in Thornhill. She slithered into — and made a temporary home of — the school office’s photocopier. “My personal theory is the photocopier was a warm place to hibernate,” longtime Toronto Wildlife Centre volunteer Joanne

Ingrassia said. “It’s anyone’s guess how she got in the copier or even in the school.” The wildlife centre handles up to 30,000 hotline calls each year and admits about 5,000 animals into the centre’s wildlife hospital. The centre works with more than 270 different species of wild birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians. The snake situation was a little out of the ordinary. “We get calls about wildlife all the time, wildlife out in the wild and on city streets,” Ingrassia said. “It’s unusual to get a call about an animal inside.” After a technician was called to take apart the copier, the footlong snake was taken to the wildlife centre.

Since brown snakes usually hibernate during the cold season, the entire copier snake family was held together over the winter

months, being fed their natural diet of grubs, earthworms and slugs. That is until this past weekend. Now that overnight temperatures are consistent, the snakes — mom and babies — were released back to their home turf, a wooded area near the high school where mother snake was found. Brown snakes are native to southern Ontario and other parts of North America. The non-profit organization is the wildlife service provider for Markham that assists sick, injured, orphaned and distressed wildlife, as well as operates a full-service wildlife hospital in the GTA.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Fort Mac fire makes dramatic case for being prepared

Recycling adventure disappointing

gainst the terrible daily news stories and poignant social media posts about the Fort McMurray conflagration, Ontario and all York Region communities marked Emergency Preparedness Week last week. Although many of us — myself included — don’t pay much attention to safety awareness campaigns held each year, it was impossible to ignore the stark realities illustrating why families should prepare for disaster. Disaster struck May 3 in the northern Alberta town, and all Canadians have been watching in horror as 80,000 people — that’s the population of Newmarket — were forced to evacuate the flaming ruins of their community. Can we learn a lesson from this tragedy before it’s too late for our own families? The Region of York has a 99-page document on the ‘Risks in our area’. But if 99 pages is too daunting and time consuming for you to read, just click on your municipality’s website and find ‘Make an Emergency Plan’ or ‘Assemble a 72-Hour Kit’. I clicked on the latter for Richmond Hill and found a two-page PDF of fairly simple — but vital — information and tips to follow to ensure my family is ready for a fire, flood, ice storm or any such emergency. No one would dare say anymore, that ostrich-head-in-thesand statement: “It can’t happen here”. The December 2013 ice storm in Vaughan, Markham and Richmond Hill was a true disaster for those who lost power for days or had ice-coated trees topple on their properties. An even more recent ice storm in March of this year caused $25-million in damage for residents in Newmarket and Georgina. Flooding in a freak July 2013 rainstorm stranded passengers on a Richmond Hill-bound GO train. Those people rescued by rubber dinghies would certainly tell you

Marney Beck that disasters can — and do — happen unexpectedly. We can’t change the weather patterns and even the most environmentally committed residents know that climate change won’t be slowed or solved in a few years — or perhaps even in a generation. The only thing we can do — besides donating generously to the Red Cross for fellow Canadians in Fort McMurray ($54 million to date, incredible!)— is get our own family ready for any emergency, large or small. According to a federal emergency link at www.getprepared.gc.ca, it only takes 20 minutes to make a family emergency plan online. Before you click on the link, consider what safe exits you have from your home and neighbourhood; what meeting place you want to reunite with family members at work or school; your plan for pets; and know vital contact numbers for people close by (neighbours) or out of town (family). Have you seen black humour social media posts from Fort Mac evacuees saying in their panic to flee they took silly things with them such as a bear head trophy off a wall, or junk food treats, leaving behind key and precious objects? We all need to know where health and insurance documents are, or passports, to grab quickly. And it may sound mundane, but does each person in your home know the location of fire extinguishers, water valve, electrical panel, gas valve and floor drain? As each of those 80,000 evacuees would no doubt agree, we should all be prepared for disaster.

I live in a condo on Yonge north of 16th Avenue and am president of the board of directors. Our board decided to offer a bulk collection of used compact fluorescent bulbs and lighting tubes in our building, as we thought no one would be willing to drive to the recycling centres with one tube or one light bulb. We consulted with our ward councillor, who assured us that we would have no problems in offering this service to our residents. On April 2, my adventure began. I felt we had collected enough of these hazardous items to make my first trip to a regional recycling centre. I drove to the Elgin Mills facility (closest to my condo) where the individuals who met me were very accommodating. They took my bin of light bulbs and, after sorting them, explained they only collect the compact fluorescent bulbs (curly ones), no others, leaving me to take back the rest for disposal in landfill/ garbage. So far, so good. When I mentioned I also had fluorescent tubes, I was told they do not collect these because the disposal process is different; I would have to take them to the Markham or Vaughan regional sites. My suggestion: Why doesn’t the Elgin Mills facility collect both and when a sufficient number of tubes has been collected, transfer them to the Markham or Vaughan sites? Isn’t it better than asking residents to drive from one site to another? At any rate, I headed to the Vaughan recycling centre at Rutherford and Jane. There, my adventure with bureaucracy continued. As soon as the individual heard the word “condo”, I was shown a sign which stated that commercial drop-offs are not accepted. To my shock, I discovered that York Region classifies condos as “commercial” for

recycling. Therefore, bulk collections from condos fall into the commercial catagory. I was told the tubes would be accepted this one time; I would have to deal with York Region where the policy was created. Numerous residents in my building suggested I share my adventure through The Liberal to inform readers that recycling is not an easy process, especially for condos. I did phone the Region of York and was told condos are considered commercial. After the person apologized, I asked what we should do with used light bulbs and tubes. The answer was that there is a landfill site not too far from my location. “Happy Earth Day”.

Mary Atkinson Richmond Hill

Review conducted with recyling staff Re: Recycling adventure disappointing, letter by Mary Atkinson. We’d like to offer our apologies for the recent frustrating experienced by Ms Atkinson at our [Richmond Hill and Vaughan] Household Hazardous Waste depots. It was a regrettable misunderstanding. Senior staff are actively working to prevent a similar incident from being repeated in future and we also reached out in person to speak to her about her concerns.

SEND A LETTER:

Email letters to mbeck@yrmg.com We are reviewing our procedures with site staff to ensure they are clear about what condominium owners and multi-residential building residents are permitted to drop off. Our guidelines for Household Hazardous Waste Depots allow residents to drop off up to 60 litres of household hazardous waste and 20 fluorescent tubes per day. These limits apply to all residents, including condominium owners and multiresidential building residents, as a way to manage depot capacity and to comply with regulations related to onsite storage requirements. York Region continues to rank first in waste diversion among large urban municipalities and the fourth highest overall in Ontario. Our successes are largely due to our residents’ commitment to diverting waste from landfill. Their efforts, like those of Ms Atkinson, are truly making a difference. If residents have questions regarding correct disposal of a particular item, we encourage them to check our online resource, york.ca/bindicator or call 1-866-665-6752.

of Clark Avenue and losing the Hilda Street entrance will not be a positive change. “That’s chaos,” he said. The best-case scenario, says Taraday-Levy, would be if RioCan began to pay attention to residents. She hopes the city supports the ratepayers association in its effort to highlight concerns, as well as the official plan and city bylaws. The plaza includes a kosher Sobeys, kosher Second Cup, kosher restaurants and an Israel’s The Judaica Centre as well as a Shoppers Drug Mart and a drycleaner. “The Sobeys plaza is as important to the Jewish community as Little Italy is to the Italians,” Taraday-Levy said. “What they are talking about is tearing that plaza apart.” When the ratepayers association first met with RioCan, developer representatives said they were eager to hear from and listen to residents. “That’s not proven to be the case,” Taraday-Levy said. Residents are angry, she said. “I’ve heard from people (saying) if you do all this, what kosher stores can we go to? Where else can I go?” The worst-case scenario would be if RioCan proceeds with its plan, she said, bringing up to 600 more residents with the condo. “I hope they don’t dig their heels in to prove they can do whatever they want. The community is not against some intensification,” Taraday-Levy said. SpringFarm Ratepayers Association has circulated a petition to stop RioCan’s proposed development. RioCan is a real estate investment trust company. It has said that it intends to keep Sobeys and perhaps other commercial businesses in the redesign of the plaza. Sobeys has a lease until 2030.

York Region West Nile Virus Mosquito Control Program:

By JEREMY GRIMALDI

jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

The Thornhill home of Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Mitch Marner was the scene of a fire last Thursday, causing an estimated $400,000 worth of damage. “It’s scary, but at least everyone is OK,” Marner, who was playing in the OHL finals for the London Knights, told Sportsnet after viewing the footage on his phone. York Regional Police and Vaughan Fire and Rescue Services received the call at 3:35 p.m. May 5 after neighbours called 911 reporting the fire, which had by then engulfed much of the Autumn Hill Boulevard home’s garage. The family is lucky not to have lost more, Vaughan Fire Chief Larry Bentley said. “We almost lost the entire roof,” he said. “Our guys did well.”

Police seek Vaughan robbery suspects York Regional Police are looking for two suspects following a robbery at a Vaughan convenience store last Thursday morning. At 2:30 a.m., police responded to a report of a robbery at the store located in the Hwy. 7 and Martin Grove Road area. Two men entered the store, then one pointed a handgun at the clerk behind the counter and demanded cash. The employee complied and the second suspect took the cash as well as lottery tickets and cigars.

The family will lose many personal items to smoke damage, he said. Two animals — a chocolate Labrador retriever and a cat, named Burbank and Winston, respectively — were saved by neighbours and emergency crews, Bentley said. It was also neighbours who called father Paul Marner to warn him while he was on his way to his son’s hockey game. Bentley said he believes the cause was an “accident”, but would not give further details, noting the fire marshal was on site investigating. Marner, who just turned 19, was selected by the Leafs in the first round, fourth overall and is expected to have a bright future in the NHL. He recently claimed the OHL’s Most Outstanding Player award. Both men left the store and headed north on Martin Grove Road on foot. No injuries were reported. Both suspects are described as white. One was between 25 to 30, wearing a dark blue winter jacket with fur on the hood, a red bandana over his face and carrying a handgun. The second suspect was wearing a dark coloured jacket and white bandana that covered his face. Anyone with information should call police at 1-866-876-5423 ext. 6631 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

From May 16 to October 7, 2016, The Regional Municipality of York in conjunction with the York Region District School Board and York Catholic District School Board will be conducting a larvicide program under the authority of the Medical Officer of Health. The purpose of the program is to control larval mosquitoes to prevent their development into carriers of West Nile virus.

The pellet formulation of the larvicide methoprene (product name Altosid) with Registration No. 21809, Altosid XR briquets (methoprene) with Registration No. 27694, or Bacillus sphaericus (product name VectoLex WSP) with Registration No. 28009 under the Pest Control Products Act will be placed into catch basins along Regional and Municipal roads and in catch basins on private property as required. In addition, the biological larvicide Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis (product name Vectobac), with Registration No. 18158 or VectoLex CG Registration No. 28008 under the Pest Control Products Act may be placed in ditches and temporary or permanent pools including storm water retention ponds if evidence of mosquito breeding is found. All larvicide will be applied by Ministry of the Environment licensed applicators or trained technicians.

Larviciding is a low risk and effective measure for the control of West Nile virus when used in accordance with label directions. The slowrelease pellet formulation interferes with the mosquito life cycle, preventing the mosquito larvae from reaching maturity. It is not sprayed. The products have been approved by both the provincial and federal governments and are considered low risk for humans, pets and the environment.

I found out my mother experienced the same problems when she was younger, and she simply accepted her fate. But so much of my personality is in my hair, and I did not want to have the same problems. I had read about the importance of hair nutrients, so I decided to focus on the inside rather than on the outside, and went looking for a good supplement.

My hair now feels fuller

Two Thornhill neighbourhoods will get some relief from occasional flooding thanks to planned City of Markham sewer construction. During any heavy rainfall, overflow from Green Lane, John Street and Bayview Avenue often causes flooding at both the Thornhill Community Centre and the Glynnwood Retirement Residence parking lots. The seniors residence takes the brunt of overflow water, as it is adjacent to Glynnwood pond. “After a storm, it looks like someone flushed a toilet,” Thornhill Councillor Valerie Burke said. “It’s just a rush of water.” The city plans to build a $2.7-million relief stormwater sewer system, complete with a new storm sewer crossing and new catch basins to help reduce flooding in the area.

The first phase of the project is construction of the new storm sewer from Glynnwood Pond stormwater pond to Bayview Avenue, planned for 2017 pending the province’s approval of the city’s environmental assessment study. The second and third phase — a new sewer crossing over Bayview Avenue and new catch basins in the Thornhill Community Centre parking lot — are tied to the Region of York’s future Bayview Avenue upgrade plan. The plan should be looked at in conjunction with possible structured parking at the Thornhill Community Centre, which is one of the busier centres in Markham, said deputy mayor and Regional Councillor Jack Heath. The city is limited in its plans for the storm water pond, jointly owned by the retirement residence and adjacent Shouldice Hospital. The city is looking to gain control over the pond to allow for more regular sediment removal, to mitigate flooding. - Amanda Persico

Two Thornhill residents were celebrating lottery wins last week. Jeanette Switzer of Thornhill won the $100,000 top prize with Instant Crossword Tripler (game #1846). She picked up her cheque from the OLG Prize Centre Friday and had purchased her lucky ticket at Cinema Convenience in Toronto. Instant Crossword Tripler is available for $5 a play; odds of winning a prize are 1 in 3.70. Another lucky Thornhill resident is Vajihollah Nobakht Ivoli, who won a $75,000 top prize with Instant PacMan Slots (game #1867). Ivoli arrived at the Prize Centre last Thursday with his daughter by his side. Since he only speaks Persian, his daughter shared his story. “My father scanned the ticket in the ticket checker and he realized there was something unusual. He took the ticket to the retailer and she confirmed he was a winner.” He still didn’t realize he had a winning ticket until the store owner, who also speaks Persian, shared the good news with him. Ivoli plans to purchase some property with a portion of the windfall and share his good fortune with his children and grandchildren. His winning ticket was purchased at Kitchen Food Fair on Steeles Avenue in Thornhill.

Vehicle alignment settings serve a variety of functions in vehicle operation. They affect handling, steerability, stability, performance and safety, among other things. When a vehicle is in total alignment, all wheels “agree” on one direction so there are no lateral forces to counteract. Research has shown that total vehicle alignment maintenance and inspection programs can pay dividends in extended tire wear for increased tire mileage, enhanced fuel economy, decreased component wear, greater uptime, improved driver comfort and safer vehicles. We recommend a wheel alignment on your vehicle at least once a year.

Are you not hearing clearly when a group of people are talking?

Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything being said, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, the Audéo V hearing aid has been designed specifically to understand speech in group situations. The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in group situations, especially in restaurants. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that determine when you hear things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory centre of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

SAVING YOU MORE For more details go instore or online @thebrick.com.

Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Without Audéo V

With Audéo V

The Audéo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech. Developed by Swiss audiologists the Audéo V hearing aid is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can trial the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. During your FREE hearing test, our Hearing Care Professionals will determine how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the technology called “Autosense OS” plays. This technology can recognize where the person being spoken to is located and can amplify only his or her voice,

while ambient noise is reduced. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing aid can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds, seamlessly adjusting to the listening situation. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for the right candidates. Interested people can register for a free hearing test and trial of the Audéo V by calling 1.888.408.7377
