Year after tragedy, impaired driving charges on rise BY JEREMY GRIMALDI

“For as long as (Marco) Muzzo has been alive, courts have warned about the consequences of impaired driving,” Justice Michelle Fuerst began, as she concluded her sentencing in front of a packed, tearful Newmarket courtroom. “Yet the message escaped him. It is important that it does not escape others.”
This was one of the judge’s most powerful statements, which acted as partial justification for sending King resident Marco Muzzo to prison for 10 years. He was made an example of, considering the “enormous harm caused,” and handed the harshest sentence ever doled out in Canada for a first-offence impaired driving charge, with the aim of deterring others from following in his footsteps. Given the tragedy and outrage
that followed his behaviour, some applauded the action. Others found the sentence too light. Looking back, one year on from the tragedy in Vaughan that claimed four people’s lives — Daniel, 9, Harrison, 5, and Milly, 2, Neville-Lake, and Gary Neville, 65 — it seems unclear if this decision has served as a deterrent. After all, the “message” Justice Fuerst speaks of continues to escape York Region residents on a weekly
basis. As a result, 2016 might just see the highest number of impaired charges laid in the past five years. “To be honest, I can’t stop anyone from driving impaired,” Jennifer Neville-Lake said. “Our story is one fading afternoon and is darkening with time. I can share with you how hollow and desolate my life is because someone chose to drink and drive on a See MUZZO, page 11.

t’s the small things — buying underwear, for instance. There’s the boys department, and the girls. Which one do you pick, when your child isn’t sure which gender fits? Mandy Klein made a big mistake when she picked a pack of undies for her teenager Micah from the girls’ section. Turns out, one pair was pink. Micah was so upset thinking about the girlie pink pair donned that morning, her parents say, that by the end of day she’d cut the underwear into tiny pieces and tossed them in the trash. Randy and Mandy Klein are doing their best to treat their child’s gender identity with respect, but sometimes, the Newmarket family struggles with the day-to-day details. Micah, 16, came out as gay last year and several months ago, said they are gender fluid. Micah prefers “they and them”, dresses generically and considers themself male or female depending on the day, and sometimes the time of day. It’s all new territory for the Kleins as they navigate a minefield of language and lifestyle for their only child, who is also autistic.
GENDER IDENTITY A Metroland Special Report
“I avoid using pronouns when I can,” Randy says. He uses Micah’s first name when he thinks of it, but it can get confusing and sometimes, emotional. “I tell her — them — ‘when you correct me…don’t yell. I understand you’re passionate about it, but I forget. It doesn’t mean I’m being disrespectful’.” The Kleins say they will stand by their child, wherever this journey takes them. “If it’s important to Micah, it’s important we fight for them,” Randy says. Micah is a smart kid, he adds, a member of the school LGBTQ club, not troubled with bullying. “They’re doing well. They’ll figure it out.” In the meantime, Mandy says gender-neutral departments in stores would make life easier. It could happen. Our changing approach to gender impacts more than just the English language. Other parts of society that have been traditionally segregated are undergoing a rapid re-think. Anthems are being rewritten (goodbye to “all our sons command”), Facebook invites you to customize your gender profile, the Oxford Dictionaries website added “Mx” as an alternative to Mr. or Mrs., and everywhere, lines are blurring between male and female. Some are calling it the new post-gender era. Here are some of the 2016 Angus Reid poll shifts we’ve noticed:
Rick Mandonik/ Toronto Star
Gender-neutral bathrooms at this summer’s CNE in Toronto showed society’s changing attitudes towards gender. They each displayed a half woman-half man graphic with the wording ‘we don’t care’.
FASHION FLIP-FLOPS • Pants didn’t really come into fruition until the Renaissance as a solution to men riding horses, and it wasn’t until the Victorian era that a gender divide developed in dress. • Pink was a boys’ colour because it was considered stronger, while blue was more delicate (and for girls) until the 1940s. • Heels were worn by men to help them stay in their stirrups and supplement their stature (the higher their heel, the greater their social rank) until the 18th century. - Source: The NPD Group
PUBLIC WASHROOMS All-access washrooms are popping up everywhere and this sum-
mer, Toronto’s CNE garnered accolades for its cheeky take on the topic. Instead of the traditional portaprivy signs showing a man in pants or woman in skirt, the Ex cubicles displayed icons of someone wearing half dress/half pants, along with the words “We Don’t Care”. General manager Virginia Ludy told the Toronto Star the CNE approach diverts the debate to focus on what matters. “Who cares who uses them, right? Men, women, doesn’t matter. You go in, you use it, you do your business, you leave.”
teenager Jesse Thompson. Thompson, born a girl, challenged the Ontario minor hockey league’s dressing room policies that prevented him from using the boys change room. His complaint to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal led Ontario branches of Hockey Canada to post new policies allowing players to choose their dressing room based on whether they see themselves as male or female. Thompson and Ontario Human Rights chief commissioner Renu Mandhane hope it paves the way for other sports to follow suit.

EDITORIAL
Could Canada elect a Trump-like leader?
H
vaughan CITIZE
Publisher Dana Robbins
ere in Canada, the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency is a terrifying one. The real-estate mogul and reality television star has been building support on a campaign of bigotry, misogyny and violence. While his campaign is still trailing that of former secretary of state, senator and first lady Hillary Clinton, the gap in polls is narrow and it is entirely conceivable that Donald Trump might prevail in November. To put it another way: The leader of our closest neighbour, biggest trading partner and longtime ally might be a white-supremacist-approved, lying, narcissistic tyrant. The only comfort we might take in this distressing scenario: at least something like that could never happen here. Or could it? Our parliamentary system of government treats executive power very differently than the American bicameral system. Indeed, in some ways a prime minister with a firm majority can exercise far more power than a president whose party doesn’t also control both the House of Representatives and the Senate. A Trump-like prime minister could make profound and potentially damaging changes to our country, with few to none of the checks on the power of a like-minded president. But could such a prime minister be elected here? Our nomination process means it’s less likely that any party would choose such a polarizing figure as its leader, and in a federal election, voters aren’t faced with a simple choice between two candidates as happens in the U.S. It would be naive to think that Canadians are immune to the kind of xenophobic bigotry and nativism that has fuelled Trump’s rise. At its core, Trump’s success depends on two things — people who are profoundly worried about their future and a society where systemic racism makes it easy to blame “the other” for its problems. We have both here. In 2015, when Stephen Harper’s Conservatives banned women from wearing niqabs when taking citizenship oaths, vowed to revoke citizenship to dual citizens convicted of terrorism and floated the idea of a snitch line for “barbaric cultural practices,” the party had strong support, as evidenced by numerous polls. We can reassure ourselves with the Conservative loss in the election. Yet today, as Trump doubles down on his plan to deport illegal immigrants and bar Muslims from entering the U.S., Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch (who fronted the unappealing snitch line in 2015) is promoting a similarly themed plan to screen out immigrants who hold “anti-Canadian values.” A Forum Research poll conducted after she floated the idea shows that 67 per cent of Canadians and 87 per cent of Conservative supporters like the idea. Does that mean that Canadians are ready to consider handing a Donald Trump the key to 24 Sussex Dr.? We like to think not. But we’d like to think the same of our friends south of the border. And we’d like to know what you think. Share your opinion at newsroom@yrmg.com and we’ll run as many of your responses as space allows in the coming weeks. You can also weigh in on Twitter with the hashtag #northernTrump.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Hydro ‘rebate’ a stunt Water we doing? Of all the issues in this province that PremierWynne has suddenly “understood”, perhaps her epiphany regarding hydro rates is the greatest. Wynne claims Ontario taxpayers will see a “rebate” on their hydro bill with the removal of the PST, but what she deliberately omits, is that there is an annual 8 per cent rate increase which thus negates the cut. Not to mention there is a carbon tax coming soon. Let’s not forget all the waste and mismanagement that this government specializes in: the gas plant scandal, Ornge, eHealth, etc. Ontario is already the second highest taxed province under the Liberals. If hydro bill relief is truly a priority for this government, then they can spare us the rate increases and additional taxes. There needs to be change in Ontario. Homeowners are taxed out.
Zehavi Zynoberg VAUGHAN
I am very concerned about the recent information released about the sale of our water in Ontario. As I understand it, we are selling trillions of litres of water at a giveaway price. Although I think the price is a joke, that isn’t what concerns me the most. It is the fact that we are willing to get rid of that much water. I can’t help but ask myself, and therefore others out there, how much rainfall do we need to replace this amount of water? How many years would it take to make up what we give away in one year? Can it really ever be replaced? If I can use an analogy, if you have a swimming pool and you drain it of water, you can replace it because you know you can get more water from the tap. What if that tap can only produce a small trickle of water? What happens then? You would have considerable trouble with your pool. If our water supply is like
one gigantic water pool, can we take out so very much without consequences? If we look at a modernday world map, we must notice that satellite images show more and more yellow and dry areas around the world. As climate changes, the situation will become worse instead of better. Water will become a more and more precious and vital commodity. Canada, blessed with one-fifth of the world’s fresh water, will become a focal point, I predict, as a source of the life-giving resource. It will then become more valuable than oil or gold. Don’t we owe it to that future to be prepared? We should do everything in our power to protect our water supply, our future and our children’s future. I ask all of you to be our voice of reason and do whatever you can to stop this sale and help create laws to protect our water.

COMMUNITY
Vic De Zen, family, donate $10 million to Vaughan hospital By Adam Martin-Robbins
amartinrobbins@yrmg.com
Billionaire businessman Vic De Zen, and his family, delivered a $10 million boost to the Vaughan hospital fundraising campaign. “Vaughan is where my family was raised, and also continues to live; where I built a successful business with thousands of employees (who live) here and in the surrounding area,” the 74-year-old, longtime Woodbridge resident told a large crowd gathered at city hall Tuesday for the donation announcement. “I’m really proud to be able to give back to this great city, and help the community, by helping to build a world-class hospital in Vaughan. They need it and they deserve it.” De Zen’s donation is the largest, to date, from an individual to the Mackenzie Health Foundation’s $250-million fundraising campaign to help cover the cost of building and equipping the hospital, for which the final price tag has yet to be revealed. In recognition of the gift, the main lobby of the hospital, now slated for completion in 2020, will be named the Vic De Zen Family Welcome Centre. “This is, indeed, a very exciting time for
our community,” Altaf Stationwala, Mackenzie Health president and CEO, said. “Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital will be the first hospital to be built in the City of Vaughan and it will be the first new hospital to be built in York Region in over 30 years. We have reached this milestone because of our generous community.” De Zen, who emigrated from Italy in 1962, owns and operates plastics manufacturer Vision Extrusions Group Ltd. and ZZEN Group, a real estate development, construction and property management firm. His net worth is pegged at $1 billion, according to Canadian Business magazine, putting him in 91st spot on the country’s 100 richest people list. He was joined at the announcement by his wife, Angelina, son Sergio and other family members. The De Zen’s youngest son, James (Jimmy), passed away last year, at 46. Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua praised De Zen for giving back to the community. “This is what the city is all about. Vic De Zen is really the embodiment of the spirit of generosity,” he said. “Today was really about humility, compassion, caring and love of city.”

Sunday afternoon. I can probably make you cry imagining what it is like to be me existing in an empty and dead house. But I can’t stop you from drinking and driving. My shattered heart can’t. My dead dad can’t. My dead children can’t. Only you can. I hope you choose life.” York Regional Police statistics show there was a 43-per-cent increase in charges between 2012, when there were 877, and 2015, when there were 1,255. So far in 2016, there have been 1,188. “Despite all of our efforts, sadly we continue to deal with people who are making the choice to drink alcohol or use drugs and drive and let me be clear, it is a choice,” Chief Eric Jolliffe. “The consequences of making these bad decisions have never been more apparent. The grief and sorrow that continues to be felt extends far beyond the immediate family, first responders and our investigators. It has touched our entire community. “Yet people are still being allowed to have a drink or use drugs and get behind the wheel of a vehicle while impaired. I am once again asking that those who decide
to have any alcohol or drugs to not get behind the wheel of a vehicle. I am also calling upon friends or family members who watch their loved ones have a drink or use drugs to be that person and stand up to prevent them from driving. Impaired driving is completely preventable and we must all do our part to prevent another tragedy on our roads.” The message isn’t getting across to everyone. On Jan. 17, just months after Muzzo crashed into the NevilleLake vehicle, the vehicle of Newmarket’s Tara Gawlik collided with that of Michael Holden, 26, who was going to see his mother in Newmarket. Holden, 26, died. Gawlik, 36, who driving a Kia Rondo with three children in the car, 13-yearold twins and a 12-year-old, was charged with impaired driving causing death. The case is still before the courts. Tragedies that result from impaired driving can take many forms. This summer, Ryan Lefler, 24, was killed when his motorcycle left the roadway in Keswick and Lauren Mueller, 25, died when her
pickup truck crashed into a tree in East Gwillimbury. Both were impaired. In the year following the NevilleLake tragedy, we’ve heard of five incidents in York Region of parents being charged with impaired driving with their children in the vehicles. In one, a nine-year-old boy called police about his 52-year-old mother drinking and driving in Newmarket with him in the car. Also disturbing are the charges brought against the very individuals who are supposed to be attempting to stop us from drinking and driving. On Jan. 11, off-duty York police Const. Colin Smith was found driving the wrong way on Hwy. 400, resulting in his second impaired driving charge in the last few years. Toronto police Const. Andrew Ford was caught “driving erratically” on Green Lane in East Gwillimbury and charged just weeks after the Neville-Lake tragedy. Kathy Mitchell, president of MADD York Region, who lost her 23-year-old niece, Sharon’s Ashley Fogal, when Fogal’s car was struck by a drunk driver on Aug. 11, 2011, says the tragic cases are disheart-
ening, especially knowing the pain the decision to drink and drive can cause. “It’s very frustrating,” she said. “To have this young couple (the Neville-Lakes) who have created a family to just face that devastation of losing everything. It’s just frustrating that people continue to have no regard for other people in society. You would think that the message would be clear because of such a tragedy, but unfortunately, people are of the mindset that it’s not going to happen to them or they’re invincible or they’re not going to get caught.” She remembers quite clearly the moment she found out about the Neville-Lake tragedy, driving home from a MADD conference in Toronto on that clear, fall day. “Every day, I think of Jennifer and Ed and what they must be going through, because every day, I think of my sister and my mom and my niece and my nephew,” she added. “It just never goes away.” This weekend, she will once again head to the national MADD conference, surrounded by other victims of this crime that refuses to go away. – with files from Lisa Queen
Drivers aren’t getting message, York police say Despite the first-year anniversary of the tragic drunk-driving collision that killed the three NevilleLake children and their grandfather, York Regional Police continues to lay a numerous impaired driving charges. Between Sept. 16 and 18, 12 men and four women were charged, including five as a result of collisions, seven from general police patrol or RIDE spot checks and four from calls made to police by residents. Eleven drivers were charged with driving with more than twice the legal limit of alcohol in their blood and four were charged with having more than three times the legal limit. One driver was charged after a resident called police just before 11 p.m. to report a possible impaired driver travelling east on Stouffville Road, York police said. Police found the car parked in the driveway of the registered owner in Stouffville. As officers approached the car, they discovered a 29-year-old suspect asleep in the car, police said. A breath test indicated he had a blood alcohol level of 230 milligrams. The legal limit is 80 mgs. The suspect was charged with one count of impaired care or control of a motor vehicle. “Despite repeated warnings by police and numerous senseless tragedies on our roadways, drivers are not getting the message,” police said.

Di Biase won’t appeal ruling
13
amartinrobbins@yrmg.com
Vaughan Deputy Mayor Michael Di Biase is “disappointed” a divisional court rejected his bid to quash a scathing report by the city’s ethics watchdog, which found he bullied and intimidated city staff, and to overturn the penalty imposed by city council. Although the veteran politician maintains he “did nothing wrong”, he says he won’t appeal the ruling. “I am disappointed that the court did not see the injustice in how my case was handled by the Integrity Commissioner,” Di Biase, a longtime regional councillor and former mayor, wrote in a statement emailed to the Vaughan last Wednesday after the paper’s press deadline. “I did nothing wrong and had I been given a proper opportunity and all the necessary information to understand the full case against me, my innocence would have been demonstrated.” Di Biase was reacting to a ruling, released by a panel of three divisional court judges who rejected the arguments made by his lawyer, Morris Manning, during a judicial review hearing in May. Manning aimed to have the court squelch the findings of a code of conduct investigation by Integrity Commissioner Suzanne Craig and reverse a 90-day pay suspension, amounting to about $21,000, imposed by council based on her findings in April 2015. While Di Biase disagrees with the ruling, he’s not going to take the matter to a higher court. “While I feel an appeal would be successful, the stress of these proceedings both at the level of the Integrity Commissioner’s position and at the appeal to the Divisional Court has been too much for me and my family,” he wrote.

Comedians unite for Italian quake relief show at Yuk Yuk’s BY ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS
amartinrobbins@yrmg.com
Many Italian-Canadians have been looking for ways to help those impacted by the powerful earthquake that rocked central Italy in August, killing nearly 300 people. Stand-up comic Frank Spadone decided to do what he knows best – put on a comedy show. “We’re so fortunate that we have these gifts ... and every now and then you think, I should use this (gift) to help people out and that’s
what I decided,” said Spadone, a Richmond Hill resident known for drawing much of his material from growing up in an Italian-Canadian household. “I just called a few of my funny friends that they would probably want to be on board and they were, of course. They didn’t even bat an eyelash.” The Italian Earthquake Relief Charity Show takes place Sunday, Oct. 2 at Yuk Yuk’s comedy club, 70 Interchange Way, in Vaughan.
Joining Spadone on stage will be Toronto comedian Sandra Carusi and The Doo Wops comedy duo featuring David Mesiano and John Catucci, best known as host of Food Network series You Gotta Eat Here.
‘rich heritage’ “There’s so much rich heritage for the world that Italy provides from food to fashion to cars to music and when you see it fall apart like that and the people who lose homes, it’s really heart-wrenching,”
said Carusi, whose family lives less than two hours from Amatrice, the epicentre of the earthquake. “I’m a big proponent of using laughter to heal. I’ve been battling cancer two years and am still in treatment. For me it’s a big deal to use humour to kind of balance out the darkness of the world.” Catucci said he didn’t hesitate when Spadone called to ask him about doing the show. “When I heard about the earthquake happening, everybody was
feeling sad about it, but I guess the Italians felt a bigger connection and were figuring out how we can help,” Catucci said. “When Frank gave me a shout and said, ‘We’re doing this fundraiser.’ I said, ‘Yes, for sure.’ It wasn’t even a question.” Tickets cost $30 plus tax with box office proceeds going to the Red Cross Italian disaster relief fund.

Piera Jones let her instincts guide her when she ran into her neighbours’ home at 73 Andrea Lane, where she heard a woman screaming: “He’s dead! He’s dead!” When she arrived in the living room of the Woodbridge house, a ghastly scene lay before her. A man was hunched over a 23-year-old, attempting to give him CPR, the fatally wounded man’s pregnant partner inconsolable, still screaming. The neighbour who was performing CPR quickly asked Piera to plug the man’s nose while he administered breaths into his mouth. It was no use. He was dead. That deceased is Piera’s neighbour, Silverio Feola, 23. His pregnant wife, Dina, lived at the home with him and his father, mother and sister, Piera added. Feola died of one bullet wound to the chest, Piera said, but police would not confirm this. “It’s heartbreaking,” Piera said, tears running down her cheek. “No one should have to go through this sort of thing. “He was such a nice young man, always saying ‘Hi’; so friendly.” The York Regional Police homicide unit is now looking into what it calls a targeted shooting. The information so far appears scant. Police are looking for three black males in a compact car one person saw speeding down the road, near Langstaff and Ansley Grove roads. Many residents said they suspected there was drug trading activity on the street, having witnessed people conducting what they believed to be drug deals. More than one neighbour said police have been to the house multiple times in the last few months. “I’m more upset than shocked,” a man, who asked not to be named, said of the shooting. “Who’s going to be next?” A woman, who asked not to be named, said she has concerns about several houses on the street. “When I heard there was a shooting, I didn’t think it was this house; I thought it was another house,” she said. “Lately, the street has been a little bit crazy, in terms of traffic and cars.” Feola’s mother came home soon after the paramedics arrived, Piera said. “She was taking care of a relative with Alzheimer’s with her daughter,” Piera said. “She was so distraught; she is a mess over this.” Piera said she works with Feola’s father at a small, nearby Italian restaurant, where he is the chef. Anyone who witnessed the shooting or businesses in the area with surveillance video, are asked to call 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7865.
York Regional Police begin the search for three suspects after a fatal shooting in Woodbridge last week. Silverio Feola, 23, was found dead in a home on Andrea Lane, southwest of Langstaff.

wide for Culture Days, features an open mic night with spoken word artists, a participatory African dance performance and a parade from William Armstrong House to MacDonald House that wraps up with participants playing an interactive musical bike dubbed the Zoosemobile. More than 20 artists will be showcasing work created during I.AM’s free workshops. “There’s a lot happening,” I.AM founder Veronica Abrenica, 26, said. “We’re
going to have a lot of spontaneous happenings, too.” An OCAD University graduate, Abrenica launched I.AM two years ago to give local artists opportunities to expand their creative talents and exhibit their work. This year, I.AM landed a grant to bolster the festival through a new initiative called the Youth Ambassadors Program (YAAP), which commissions five youth artists to create a community Corey Capstick photo arts project to debut during The Zoosemobile, an interactive musical bike, will be on hand at the I.AM Community Arts Culture Days.

binary refinery.” Fashion runways have become gender-fluid with androgynouslooking models in heels and skirts, trousers and tweed. Fashion designers are promoting gender-free clothing, U.K. department store Selfridges has introduced a pop-up agender store and Women’s Wear Daily calls “Going Gender-Neutral” one its top stories of the year. Ben Barry, professor at Ryerson’s school of fashion, applauds the trend.
B The
“Everyone has a masculine and feminine side ... Why should clothing fail to reflect that part of who we are?” In researching his book, Refashioning Masculinity, he discovered many men shop in the women’s section because they’re looking for a more playful esthetic or because they’re looking for something that fits. “Maybe it’s time for fashion to play a role in stripping away the divisions and offer us different ways to express gender.” From Entrepreneur Barbie to
gender-free nursery decor, marketers are responding to the genderbending trend. International Spa Association Foundation has recognized men are visiting spas more than ever before and increasingly, shopping for cosmetics (although skin care for men still comes in mostly “manly” packaging). Target is phasing out genderbased signage and colours — the company’s website still directs buyers to gendered clothing sections, however — and Amazon.com removed its boy and girl options
from their toy department search page. (On the Canadian site, the gender division remains.) This summer, following a petition by DadDoes.com, the Toy Industry Association announced it would drop its gender-based Toy of the Year awards. Gender is one of the top four trends to impact the marketplace, research group Mintel says. “People are questioning traditional notions of gender, rejecting the restraints of stereotypes and embracing the freedom to be themselves.”
Amid controversy over Ontario’s new sex-ed guidelines, school boards across the GTA, Simcoe County and Muskoka are addressing gender in a variety of ways such as teacher liaisons, professional development, symposiums or gender-neutral washrooms. Paul Woods, principal of inclusive school and community services with the York Region District School Board, believes the mental health strategy is clear. “We need to reduce the stigma and emphasize safety and accessibility for all.”

Going to the Ontario Municipal Board to fight the development of Sobeys plaza could cost $40,000. Pam Taraday-Levy announced the estimate last week at Springfarm Ratepayers Association’s annual general meeting, saying the funds were needed to fight a planned highrise project. In November of 2015, RioCan presented its plan to develop the plaza, formally known as SpringFarm Marketplace, at a packed residents meeting. At that point, the plan included building an 18-storey highrise with retail and a stacked townhouse block. The plaza currently 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. Since RioCan’s 2015 presentation, two storeys have been added to the highrise. RioCan, a real estate investment trust company, has said that it intends to keep Sobeys and perhaps other commercial businesses in the redesign of the plaza in Thornhill, located near Clark and
Hilda avenues. The $40,000 in funding Springfarm Ratepayers Association requires would be used to hire specialized planners and lawyers, said TaradayLevy, the president of the association (see inset photo front page). She emphasized that this is a large amount for the association. “We are not professional fundraisers, she said at Thornhill’s Garnet A. Williams Community Centre meeting last Wednesday. “We need help. We are willing to do whatever it takes to raise that $40,000.” She issued a warning to the crowd gathered in the community centre. “If we can’t defend our position at the Ontario Municipal Board, you will take whatever the OMB decides.” Residents are not opposed to having a developer build in the area of Sobeys plaza, according to Taraday-Levy. Rather, they oppose the height of the proposed building. “They are objecting to the 18-20 storey highrise being shoehorned into a small plot of land,” she said. The height of RioCan’s proposed building exceeds the height allowed in the City of Vaughan’s official plan designation. The official plan allows
for between four and six storeys for the site, while the developer wants the building to be 20 storeys high.
‘People think I have to power to make final decisions about planning. The OMB has the final power’ Thornhill Councillor Alan Shefman confirmed that going to the OMB is a very real possibility. “We will be at the OMB against RioCan. I have no doubt,” he predicted. He lamented the OMB’s power over municipalities, a widespread fight other politicians have also entered. “People think I have to power to make final decisions about planning,” Shefman said. “The OMB has the final power,” he said, adding that he is part of a group that wants to bring back planning power to local councils. Christine Yee, director of real estate planning for Sobeys, spoke about the redesign and renovation

….Is It Right for You?
of the grocery store in the Springfarm plaza, noting “we’ve just made a big investment in the store”. Shefman updated residents on several other development projects, including: The Promenade Mall: Vaughan does not have a secondary plan for this area yet, Shefman said. A secondary plan provides detailed guidance for the city and for development of the area. However, the city plans to create one soon to make sure development is manageable and fits within the city’s overall approach to the area, Shefman said. Promenade Village Shoppes: This is a plaza at Bathurst and Centre Streets where seven towers, each with 27 storeys, have been proposed, along with new retail and parking. The Shoppes currently include Café Sheli and Glatt Kosher Centre along with other shops. “Every time they come in my office to discuss this, I always start the conversation with ‘are you crazy’?” Shefman told residents at the ratepayer meeting. “Our planning department has serious concerns,” he said, but added that the application hasn’t been received yet by the city.” Yonge Street: Shefman said there
is a plan for the car dealerships on Yonge Street north of Steeles Avenue in Thornhill. Within three to five years, the land will be sold for development, he said. Concerning the empty field near a Vaughan fire hall in the Bathurst Street and Clark Avenue area (and nearby the Reena Foundation building), Shefman said work will begin within two to five years on this area where 85 townhouses are planned. Shefman called these high-end and said it would be a very classy area. There will probably be a public hearing about this in a month or so, he said. Garnet Williams Community Centre: “As you can see it’s pretty tired,” he said, estimating it will be revitalized in 2018. Concerning The Vaughan City Playhouse, Shefman said about $1 million is needed to restore it. Concerning Clark Avenue from Hilda Avenue to Yonge Street, the councillor said this part of the street will be repaved next year. Concerning the proposed extension of the Yonge subway: “We need your involvement,” Shefman said, suggesting people contact their MP or premier. “We are relentless and continue to push for this.”

War veteran Terry Goodwin was dedicated to his community he did one tour in Lancaster bombers, trained pilots to fly Wellington bombers, then did 75 missions in Mosquitos. Returning to the US after the war was over, he flew for American Airlines, then married Evelyn Cook of Toronto in 1948. They moved to Philadelphia where he worked for an air cargo company, named Winged Cargo, flying cattle and freight to the Caribbean and Central America. Goodwin relocated to work for Winged Cargo in Toronto and began building a family. The family moved to Thornhill in 1952 and lived there until 2005. He joined the Vaughan Township School Board in 1960, and became a Canadian citizen. His community service continued with a municipal councillor position in Vaughan which he held for about a decade.

erry Goodwin dedicated a good portion of life to serving his community and adopted country. The longtime Thornhill resident and former air force bomber, school board trustee and Vaughan town councillor died Aug. 6 in the veterans’ wing at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. He had celebrated his 96th birthday a few days prior. He earned the Vaughan Ward 5 Civic Hero Award in 2006, an honour that was practically created for Goodwin, current Vaughan Councillor Alan Shefman said in a half joking way.
‘EVERY POSITIVE ATTRIBUTE’ “He expressed every positive attribute of what a civic hero could be,” Shefman said, adding he considered Goodwin a mentor and friend. “He was a person I really looked up to.” Goodwin was born in Schenectady, New York and raised in Wyncote, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. Taking leave from the University of Pennsylvania in January 1941, he travelled north to Canada to enlist in the Royal Canadian Air
Longtime Thornhill resident and war veteran Terry Goodwin (left) was honoured as a civic hero by Vaughan Councillor Alan Shefman. Force, as many other Americans did prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Goodwin learned to fly Tiger Moths and Harvards at Malton and Dunnville, Ontario. In January 1942, he successfully crossed the
Atlantic Ocean in 17 days. Goodwin flew 106 trips — an incredible accomplishment given the attrition rate was five per cent per trip at the time. After his initial trip in an outdated twin engine Hampden bomber,
VOCAL ADVOCATE Goodwin’s civic engagement continued into his later years, as he became a vocal advocate for public transit and, until the age of 95, annually spoke to local students on Remembrance Day. He also delivered countless deputations at council. Shefman recalls his first in-person meeting with Goodwin in 2004.
He was approached by Goodwin, a tall, elderly and “ramrod straight” looking gentleman who was wearing a blue blazer with an air force logo on the chest. “My first contact with Terry was the year I was first elected,” Shefman said. “He came up to me and in a gravelly voice started telling me about various things I should be doing. I found out very quickly he was a constituent living a few blocks from where I lived. He would show up at many of our meetings, always in the same outfit, well presented and always very articulate on his issues of concern. He was a great critic. Over time, I really began to like this man.” Goodwin would call Shefman frequently and they’d often spend 30 minute to one hour on the phone. But there was often great dialogue and, while Goodwin had critiques, he always presented alternative solutions to issues. Goodwin loved outdoor activities including tobogganing, hiking and camping and his family took trips to a cottage in Weekapaug every summer. He is survived by sons Fred and Phil, daughters-in-law Marilyn and Charleen, four grandchildren, a great-granddaughter and sister Polly
