JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com It wasn’t long before his death that Oscar Bauer finally gave up the ghost of his long lost 14-year-old daughter, who went missing one summer’s night in 1972 Kleinburg. Months before he took his last breath, the 87-yearold German immigrant made his way to Newmarket courthouse to declare his little girl deceased. His dream of finding her, or catching the person responsible for her disappearance, remains very much alive, according to the two men tasked with finding out what happened

to Ingrid. It may be 44 years, eight months and 28 days since she vanished, but Det. Bill Courtice and Det. Bob Athwal, the two members of York Regional Police’s cold case unit, admitted something they never have before publicly — tips are still coming into the service, the latest, just five years ago. Three others in 2011, 2009 and 2007. If nothing else, there remains the will within the community. It was on Aug. 16, 1972, that the striking blond long-haired girl — fresh home from her cottage in Thornbury where she’d

Bauer family

Oscar and Gisela Bauer reacted differently to their daughter going missing, but it was equally devastating to them both according to son, Brent. Oscar passed away in 2016 while Gisela remains alive. Oscar spent plenty of time helping to create posters (right) and billboards of Ingrid in hopes he’d one day find her. portedly worked 12-, 14-, and 18-hour days to locate Ingrid, travelling to Ottawa, Parry Sound, Hamilton and all over what’s now the GTA during his search. His son Bill Hay Jr., who fatefully met Brent through the paralegal community, said his father took the case personally and missed many dinners trying to find Ingrid. "He was always talking about this young girl," he said. A buyer at Kodak Canada, Oscar put up $3,000 of his own money toward a reward for details on her whereabouts, creating a billboard campaign in 13 Canadian cities. "Until the day he died, he blamed himself," said Brent, drawing heavy on his cigarette. "He didn’t say ’no, don’t go, wait until tomorrow,’ he didn’t drive her himself. My mom was just stressed, frantic. It affected them both deeply." After all the publicity

from the missing person case — an extremely rare occurrence in York Region or Toronto at the time — Brent said the family home became an attraction for late-night gawkers. "The curious would drive by, and that happened at all hours of the day and night," he said. He said the tips flooded in, Oscar manning the phone, a police recording device attached. There were reports from across Canada and as far as the United States, according to that same Star article: Ingrid had been seen walking on the side of the road near Lindsay headed for Pembroke with a guitar and a boy, about 18; she was seen hitchhiking in Scarborough; spotted in a blue Thunderbird; held in a North York apartment. There were 44 in all, each one having to be painstakingly investigat-

ed, but still nothing. Courtice and Athwal, who make up the only full-time cold case unit in the country, won’t discuss any of the information received, but say the most recent tips were investigated and turned up nothing. Larry Teeple said he still thinks about the case all these years later, still believing, as he did from the moment he discovered Ingrid was missing, that the case was somehow not random. "It never made sense to me that they would be able to conceal their crime for 45 years if it was totally random," he said from his Tottenham home.

been pinning for her childhood sweetheart Larry Teeple, 14, — would begin her well trodden journey toward his Pine Grove home, about six kilometres away. "I’ll be home by 10:30," she reportedly told Oscar before she left around 9:30 p.m. One of the last people to see her was her big brother, Brent Bauer, 61, a paralegal, who now lives in Maple. "She was there waiting (on Islington Avenue) for a drive her south," he said, recalling how he ran out to grab some milk for his cereal and a package of cigarettes. "It was a different time back then, there was no public transit and ’mom and dad’s taxi’ was reserved when it was really needed, not for casual socializing." Unwritten rules involving hitchhiking were simple, you don’t go if the person looks scary or there are too many people in the vehicle, he said. "It was normal to walk miles and not have any cars pass you, or have two or three come by and not pick you up," he added. "But parents would often pick you up, because they’d want their own kids picked up in return." One more reported sighting occurred soon after, Terry Bell, then 18, saw Ingrid walking south on the west side of the road about 9:45 p.m. It was only when Larry called their home looking for Ingrid that Oscar and Brent began searching outdoors for Ingrid, immediately worried that something was very wrong, Brent said. After a frantic hunt that night, volunteers came out of the woodwork, some 200, according to an old Toronto Star article, who helped scour the 20-square miles surrounding the Bauer home. It went on to say that police officers waded into the Humber River for eight kilometres, Scuba divers plunged 40 feet underwater into an old gravel pit, coming up with nothing. It was Det. Sgt. Bill Hay who was assigned the case. For the first 45 days, he re-

Help shape the future of walking, rolling & biking in Vaughan! The Public and Stakeholder Engagement Process will be undertaken in three phases: Phase 1: Where are we now? (Summer 2017)

City of Vaughan Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Update STUDY OVERVIEW The City of Vaughan has initiated a study to develop a new city-wide Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. The study will build on the 2007 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan and the 2012 Transportation Master Plan Pedestrian and Bicycle Network Plan. It will outline a strategic plan to “grow” walking, rolling and biking in Vaughan through the development of a brand, supportive municipal processes, policies and programs as well as a plan for the implementation of more comfortable infrastructure and connected network.

The focus of the study is to get meaningful input from the community and build support for walking, rolling and biking in the City. A robust and transparent engagement process is being undertaken using a variety of in-person and online engagement activities including Community Pop-up Conversations at public events, community centres and other places of gathering! Visit the City’s webpage (vaughan.ca/cycling) to find a Community Pop-up near you, as well as study updates and other opportunities to provide input!

Phase 3: What are the next steps? (Spring 2018)

Fill out a survey for a chance to win a Fitbit! surveymonkey.com/r/ walkbikevaughan

Phase 1 will focus on building an understanding of how the current transportation network is experienced and perceived, and why residents do or do not walk, roll or bike. It also includes an analysis of the existing network, review of current City policies, practices and programs, as well as development of alternative network options and route selection criteria. Phases 2 and 3 will establish the direction for the future of walking, rolling and biking in Vaughan through the evaluation of alternative network options and facility improvements, development of a preferred network, identification of policy, programming and network priorities and timelines.

ABOUT US

Not our story to tell

The Thornhill Liberal, published every Thursday, is a division of the Metroland Media Group Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The Metroland family of newspapers is comprised of more than 100 community publications across Ontario.

In last week’s Metroland Central report, we explored something of what it’s like to be an Indigenous person at this time in our history. The scathing results of the Truth and Reconciliation report along with the lack of clean water on reserves and the national disgrace that is the gruesome number of murdered and missing Indigenous women across Canada, are top of mind at the same time our country is celebrating 150 years of Confederation. We all celebrate Canada, we’re proud of our county and all of its people. But the Europeans who claimed an already populated land made and broke countless treaties and conspired to destroy the myriad cultures of First Nations people were guilty of betrayal, murder, rape, cultural annihilation and genocide. Many will argue Canada would easily have lost the war of 1812 without the support of Tecumseh and the fear his warriors instilled in the hearts of the American troops. They won that war for Britain and the deals made to assure this were defaulted on. It is high time we faced these truths and worked toward reconciliation. So when we approached this piece we did it in the knowledge that we could not carry our colonialist viewpoint into the report. Our jobs are usually going out, getting information, and then writing and publishing what we learned. But in this case we were loath to take the words said to us by Indigenous people and put it through our own lens, thus distorting it with our views. The voices had to come directly from Indigenous minds. Our first step was to send three reporters into communities to talk with Indigenous people and ask them what we should write about and who to talk with. We brought that information back and it was clear the authors of our the bulk of our pieces had to be the ones living the experience. The result was two opinion pieces, one from a woman who will not be attending the fireworks celebrations this month, and the other from a woman who believes education is the answer to growth and healing. We spoke with Indigenous people in Toronto and on reserves; with families, young professionals and artists looking toward a bright future while honouring a dark past. There is inspiration in their stories and lessons to be learned about the similarities and differences we share. And we have photos. Spending a day with folks, letting the camera’s eye capture the experience rather than put it into our words seemed most honest to us. If you want more: video of a smudging ceremony, thoughtful pieces and more photos please our website, yorkregion.com

• LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Impact of climate difficult to predict Re: Climate change: It’s here and not going away, so we must adapt, says expert, May 18. The report states that experts "predict we’ll see increased severe weather events due to climate change." Focusing on the current rise in water levels, the article quotes experts who insist that climate change is "here and it’s not going away," and insist that the government must adopt standards to reflect the new realities. The writer tells us that some York Region schools are now providing environmental studies to prepare students and to raise their levels of climate change awareness.

However, if we go back a mere 14 years much of the same hang-wringing in Ontario was taking place, but because water levels were drastically low; this continued right up to only a few years ago. News reports at the time quoted Environmental Canada citing studies which predicted decreasing water levels in the Great Lakes ranging from an additional loss of 40 to 100 cm over the next 20 - 40 years. Yet here we are, 14 years on and the reverse has occurred, dramatically so. More revealing, if we go back to 1987, water levels were so drastically high, probably higher than the current levels, that the In-

ternational Great Lakes Commission undertook to study how levels might be reduced. Thus, in precisely 30 years we’ve gone from high water levels to low and back again to high; in each case, climate change is blamed and a doomsday scenario predicted in which the current situation worsens, ultimately wreaking great havoc unless we, the government and our schools do something immediately. Meanwhile, our shipping industry, on which our lives depend, is happier with the increased levels than when ships were stranded during the low levels of 2003, demonstrating that the economic con-

sequences of nature’s variations might, like the climate itself, not be entirely predictable. Anthony Dayton Thornhill

Decision on GTA-West highway could be put off to 2018 ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS amartinrobbins@yrmg.com Those anxious to learn the fate of the proposed 400-series highway linking Vaughan to the Milton area could be waiting a lot longer than originally expected. The province has extended the term of the three-person advisory panel looking at alternatives to the future highway - known variously as the GTA West Corridor and

Hwy. 413 - until next spring, yorkregion.com has confirmed. "The GTA West Corridor EA is a complex project, and it’s important that we get it right," Ministry of Transportation (MTO) officials wrote in an email Monday, June 12. "On March 29, 2017, an order-in-council extended the three-person GTA West Advisory Panel term by up to a year (April 20, 2018). This extension is providing the panel some addi-

tional time to complete the report." MTO officials say an update on the project will be provided once the panel’s report and recommendations have been reviewed. After two years of environmental assessments and public consultations to identify a preferred route between Hwy. 400 in Vaughan and the Hwy. 401/ Hwy. 407 interchange near Milton, the province suspended work on the project in December 2015.

Vacant Unit Rebate Program Public Consultations In 2001, the Province of Ontario introduced the Vacant Unit Rebate Program to owners of vacant commercial and industrial buildings. The program provides a property tax rebate for commercial or industrial buildings that are entirely or partially vacant during the taxation year. In November 2016, the Province released its Fall Economic Statement which provided municipalities with broader flexibility to tailor the Vacant Unit Rebate program to reflect community needs and circumstances. The City of Vaughan, the City of Markham and the Town of Richmond Hill are evaluating the Vacant Unit Rebate Program and soliciting program feedback from local commercial, industrial and residential property owners. Members of the public are invited to provide their feedback, by: 1) Attending one of three scheduled public consultations: • June 22 – 7 to 9 p.m., Multi-Purpose Room, Vaughan City Hall, 2141 Major Mackenzie Dr., Vaughan • June 26 – 7 to 9 p.m., Council Chambers, Markham Civic Centre, 101 Town Centre Blvd., Markham • July 13 – 7 to 9 p.m., Aspen Room, Rouge Woods Community Centre, 110 Shirley Dr., Richmond Hill 2) Completing an online survey, available on each municipality’s website (vaughan.ca, markham.ca and richmondhill.ca) between June 5 and July 31.

For inquiries visit: vaughan.ca, markham.ca, richmondhill.ca

ON NOW AT THE BRICK!

Months later, the province posted on the project’s website that a panel had been formed and was being "tasked with conducting a strategic assessment of the alternatives to meeting future transportation demand and other transportation infrastructure needs for passenger and goods movement in the GTA West corridor." Several municipalities including Vaughan, York Region, King Township, Caledon and Peel Region - have been urging Queen’s Park to complete the environmental assessment and choose a preferred route quickly. Those municipalities have argued the highway is needed to reduce congestion on local road networks and to provide a connection between employment lands and the provincial highway system. Affected developers also want the studies completed and a final route de-

Same-sex marriage has been legal in Canada for more than a decade. At the time, Canada was only the fourth country in the world – and the ﬁrst outside Europe – to do so. The House of Commons passed the Civil Marriage Act in 2005. A decade later, after a Supreme Court ruling in the United States, and a successful referendum in Ireland, same-sex marriage is now recognized in more than 20 countries. Here, Lynn Warren (right) and Alex Ali, former contestants on the Amazing Race 7, celebrate their marriage following a ceremony in Ottawa, Wednesday, June 1, 2005.

Warmer weather, thunderstorms may extend allergy season TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com Seasonal allergy sufferers could be in for a long haul this year. ’Tis the season for stuffy noses, sinus congestion, itchy eyes and the rest of the symptoms associated with seasonal allergies triggered by pollen. While many enjoyed the abnormally warm days in February this year, those who suffer from pollen allergies are now paying the price. According to AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alan Reppert, that warm air gave a head start to the growing season, triggering allergy symptoms earlier than normal. It’s also possible the allergy season will be longer than usual. "The ragweed and pollen season is predicted to be a month longer because of environmental drivers," York Region’s health protection manager Helen Doyle said.

"There are several drivers such as warmer weather, a milder winter, increased carbon dioxide levels and more frequent thunder storms." She added that the region is currently conducting a climate change and health vulnerability assessment that will further examine the impacts of climate drivers and how they impact residents’ health. Pollen will be one of many targets in the assessment along with other priority issues such as air quality, extreme heat events and flooding. It could take years to complete the study fully and as more data becomes available it will be included in the assessment. Currently, the region is looking at data from other organizations, such as Health Canada. City of Markham parks manager David Plant said tall grass and weeds also contribute to seasonal allergies. Rain is also a factor. From April 1 to the end of May, the city recorded 254

millimetres of rain compared to 79 mm last year over the same two months. "The wet conditions make it very difficult for large equipment to operate without leaving ruts and damage which can be a safety issue for the public," Plant said. "We’re a little bit delayed. We’re facing the same challenges we face every spring with the fresh growth that the rain and the heat bring on. We’re working very actively to have first cut completed by end of this week." Southlake Regional Health Centre’s family medicine chief Dr. Paul Cantarutti said this is typically the time of year when people with tree and grass pollen allergies visit doctors and clinics seeking relief. "It’s not unusual," he said. "I can’t say whether or not this season is worse but I have been seeing the typical number of patients with allergy concerns this year." Not everyone will seek out professional help to relieve their allergy symptoms.

Steve Somerville/Metroland

Experts are saying it is going to be an extended season for those who suffer from seasonal allergies due to the rain, warmer temperatures that are increasing pollen counts. Some find relief with overthe-counter nasal sprays and antihistamines. There are a number of measures allergy sufferers can take to make themselves more comfortable. Watch online weather

websites for a day-by-day pollen rating that lets people know if pollen levels are low, medium or high each day. When the pollen counts are high, stay indoors if possible with the windows closed and air conditioner

Vaughan Regional Councillor Michael Di Biase.

City seeks applicants for Di Biase’s seat ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS amartinrobbins@yrmg.com

Do you have a passion for local politics, a keen understanding of how municipal government works or a burning desire to serve your community? If so, the City of Vaughan wants to hear from you. Applicants are being sought to fill veteran Coun. Michael Di Biase’s vacant local and regional councillor seat for the remainder of this term, ending Nov. 30, 2018. Di Biase, who served on council for nearly 30 years, including a stint as mayor from 2002 to 2006, stepped down May 19 following the release of an explosive report by Integrity Commissioner Suzanne Craig that found he sexually harassed a city employee for several months last year. Di Biase has vehemently denied the allegations. Applications, available at the clerk’s office at city hall, 2141 Major Mackenzie Dr., or online at vaughan.ca/clerks, must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Thursday, June 22. Submit documents to be considered by council before they choose the appointee during a special council meeting June 28 at 9:30 a.m. At that meeting, council will hear from and ask questions of applicants before voting. The person they appoint won’t become deputy mayor and net the nearly $8,000 salary bump that comes with the title. Under the city’s bylaw, the deputy mayor is the regional council candidate who garnered the most votes in the 2014 municipal election. In that person’s absence, it is the councillor who received the second highest number of votes, which was Regional Coun. Mario Ferri. He will now serve as deputy mayor until the end of the term.

As more boomers become empty nesters and retirees, new opportunities are available for the “right-sizing” trend that allows them to move to spaces that are a better fit. An exciting new downsizing option for active individuals is land lease. If you’re looking to unlock the money tied up in your current house, or to purchase a new home without a big capital investment, land lease allows you to purchase the home and lease the land it sits on. Here are five other advantages of rightsizing into a land lease: 1. Free up cash from your current home. Land leasing is an affordable home ownership model, meaning you’ll have access to the money you make through the downsizing process and the freedom to do what you want with it. Many land lease owners become snowbirds or frequent travellers, pur-

4. Enjoy more free time. A common complaint about maintaining a larger home is that it’s too much work. With a land lease, you’ll receive property management services that cover snow shoveling, lawn moving and care, and other home ownership tasks. This lets you spend your golden years focusing on the important things in life rather than daily unwanted responsibilities. chase nearby golf memberships or their dream car or boat, or simply create more retirement savings. 2. Join a vibrant community. Some land lease neighbourhoods are specifically designed as lifestyle communities. For example, Parkbridge Communi-

ties offer shared amenities like indoor and outdoor pools, fitness classes, and walking and biking paths that allow residents to maintain a fun and healthy active lifestyle throughout retirement. Homeowners’ associations organize dinners, dances, golf tournaments and other activities that encourage social

16 per cent of York Region employers plan to hire, 3 per cent will cut: survey If you are looking for a job in York Region, this should come as some fairly good news. Employers expect a modest hiring climate heading into the third quarter of the year, running from July through September, according to the ManpowerGroup.

Its employment outlook survey suggests 16 per cent of York employees plan to hire workers, while only 3 per cent anticipate handing out layoff notices, Maple Kyriacou of Manpowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Markham office, said. The vast majority, 81 per cent, expect they will keep their workforce at current

levels. Nationally, the tone for the employment outlook for the third quarter is "cautious optimism," especially in urban areas where there will be slow, but steady, job growth, Darlene Minatel, vice-president of Manpower Canada operations and strategic accounts.

Environmental Assessment Study Kirby Road Extension between Dufferin Street and Bathurst Street City of Vaughan Rizmi Holdings Limited (RHL) authorized by the City of Vaughan is undertaking an Environmental Assessment Study (EA Study) to establish the preferred alignment and design for the extension of Kirby Road between Dufferin Street and Bathurst Street. The EA Study is conducted as a Schedule â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Municipal Road Project in accordance with the current Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process. The EA Study takes into account findings of the City of Vaughan Transportation Master Plan (2013) and the Regional Municipality of York Transportation Master Plan (2016). Both plans completed Phases 1 and 2 of the EA process and confirmed the need for Kirby Road extension. The approximate study area limits are shown on the map to the left. The EA process adapted for the EA Study includes: consultation with public and review agencies; screening and evaluation of alternative road alignments and design concepts; assessment and mitigation of potential effects of the proposed Kirby Road extension on the environment; preparation of an Environmental Study Report (ESR) that will document the study process and identify the preferred alignment and design for the extension of Kirby Road. At the conclusion of the EA Study, the ESR will be provided to the City of Vaughan. The City will then determine whether or not to issue a Notice of Study Completion as a co-proponent and file the ESR for public review.
