If you know of a person whose remains are buried at the Thornhill Golf and Country Club, you have two weeks to contact the registrar.

Human remains were dis-covered during an archeological assessment at the golf club, south of the Holy Trinity Anglican Cem-etery at 8004 Yonge St.

After the burial site was discov-ered at the county club, the regis-trar was notified Oct. 9.

This cemetery was Thornhill’s first official cemetery, established between 1804 and 1830.

No records of burials outside the current cemetery boundaries were found.

More investigation confirmed the remains were from a single square

grave with human skeletal remains and a small iron clasp or pin.

A simple message through social media about how to help desperate Syrian refugees led to the creation of this New Beginning Team, which includes Garry Gladstone (from right), his wife Melanie, their niece Melissa Giblon, Roy and Savi Singh, Elena Rotilio and Tran Luong, himself a refugee.

BY KIM [email protected]

Canada, one might say, looks a lot like the gathering around Gary Glad-stone’s kitchen table.

There are two immigrants from Guyana, one from Ireland, a Viet-namese-Canadian, a Jewish man, a teenaged high school student and the daughter of Italian immigrants.

If all goes well in the coming weeks, these strangers-turned-friends will be the welcoming face of Canada for a refugee family from Syria.

At the head of this table sits Luong Tran. An immigrant from Vietnam who helped scores of refugees come to Canada in the 1970s, Tran is eager to do what he can to help those flee-ing strife in the Middle East.

“We Vietnamese have been through this. We understand how hard it is to be in a strange new coun-try,” says Tran, part of the New Begin-ning Team, an ad hoc group of volun-teers from Toronto and York Region who are sponsoring refugees.

It began when Thornhill residents Gary and Melanie Gladstone decided they could not sit idle while hundreds of thousands of refugees fled their war-torn country.

Gary sent out a message on social media: Does anyone else want to help?

Within days, his simple ques-tion spread through word-of-mouth until 16 volunteers had committed to sponsor a family under the direc-tion of Jewish Immigrant Aid Services, which offers tax receipts and oper-ates a family reunification program for Syrian refugees.

Gladstone, a fundraising consul-tant for charities and non-profits, says the enthusiastic response sur-prised him.

“It is restoring our faith in society.”The group, including a psychia-

trist, social worker, educator, lawyer, physician and ESL teacher, aims to raise $30,000 to $50,000 by year end. (The government requires $27,000 to sponsor a family of four.) So far the group has raised $35,000.

“We want to be hands-on, involved in the lives of the newcomer family as much as they want us,” Gladstone says, “We want to make a difference in someone’s life.”

Tran knows first-hand that this is

possible.When he came to Canada in 1971,

he was one of the first Vietnamese to arrive in advance of the wave of refu-gees to Canada in the late 1970s.

Like the New Beginning Team, those who helped him were diverse, from a group of Quakers who assist-ed with settlement, to the son of Jew-ish-Ukrainian refugees who trained him to be a mechanic.

That son is now 91 years old, still a close friend whom Tran visits sev-eral days a week.

HELPED BOAT PEOPLE

Eight years after he arrived in Canada, the tide turned and Tran was asked to translate with a group of doctors and nurses from Mount Sinai Hospital — assisting Vietnam-ese boat people.

He lived among refugees crowd-ed into abandoned factories in Hong Kong and in muddy, pirate-plagued camps in Thailand, smuggling out

photographs of the refugees’ hard-ship via film hidden in his socks.

When he learned that his own relatives were stuck in a camp in Indonesia, Tran returned to Canada and organized a rescue mission.

Over the next few years, he trans-porting refugees from the airport and helping them settle.

Eventually, his three-bedroom rental house became known as “the refugee camp”. He slept in his dark-room (he was an amateur photog-rapher) to free up bedrooms for the newcomers – a total of 70 – many of whom remain his friends today.

Most were able to move to inde-pendence within six months and went on to lead successful lives, he says.

Occasionally, he sees the ripple effect – the nursing team leader, for example, who helped with his daughter’s surgery recently brought him to tears when she told him, “I remember you. You helped my father

when I was six years old.” Other offers of help are coming

from all corners, Gladstone says, from a friend who doesn’t have the money to donate, but is ready to babysit the children, to a Maple resi-dent who wants to include the Syr-ian family in his weekly walks with neighbourhood kids.

PERSONAL MOTIVATION TO HELP

Savi and Roy Singh want to share their experience as newcomers with the refugees.

The Markham couple immigrated to New Brunswick in mid 1970s and can empathize with the challenge that’s ahead. Not long after arriving in Canada, Savi, a geologist, and Roy, an engineer, took a bus to Calgary in January to find jobs.

“Imagine getting out of that bus, going to the side of the road, know-ing nobody and having to settle there,” says Savi.

It all worked out, but they under-stand the feeling of being lost in an

alien land.“It’s a new country, it’s a differ-

ent social structure, different culture. And the weather is cold!” Savi says. “In our case, it was voluntary. I can’t imagine what it’s like as a refugee, when you have to leave, you’ve been tossed around …. you don’t know the language.

“There is a soul in our society. We love our community very much and we want to see any new entrant succeed.”

Her parents’ experience as immi-grants prompted Elena Rotilio to join the New Beginning team.

Tears fill her eyes as she recounts her father’s story, arriving from Italy in 1955.

“On his first night, my dad slept at the train station. He did not know the language, just kept saying “Italian. Italian” until someone drove him to the Italian district near Bloor and Bathurst,” the North York resident recalls.

“The thing my parents always remember is people were so kind.”

Rotilio sees similar kindness today in response to the Syrian refu-gee crisis.

A York University professor who is an art therapist has offered her expertise, another friend who owns a janitorial company said he is ready to offer employment.

“It’s beautiful how people just come together to make a difference.

“We are all one, it doesn’t matter what race or background, we all have hearts. We all have souls. We all have the right to live freely and safely.”

For Gary Gladstone, Canada’s restrictive immigration policy towards Jewish refugees during the Holocaust years drives him to make a difference today.

“I don’t care who is coming, there are people in need and we have to do something and ‘none is too many’ can never happen again. Period. End of story.”

Glycol, the poisonous chemical in anti-freeze, was present in kibble found near a Vaughan mailbox that may be linked to the death of a dog, police have confirmed.

Police say they will now be canvassing the neighbourhood trying to find out more infor-mation in the case.

Investigators with the York Regional Police #4 District Criminal Investigation Bureau are seeking witnesses following the death of a dog from confirmed glycol poisoning.

On Nov. 25, a dog and its owner were out for a walk on Shawbridge Boulevard in the area of Gidleigh Park Crescent.

The dog stopped and began eating some-thing by a mailbox.

Later that day, the dog became violently ill and by the next morning was too weak to walk.

The dog was taken to a veterinarian who advised the owner that the symptoms the dog was suffering from were consistent with glycol poisoning.

On Nov. 27, the dog’s condition had dete-riorated to the point that she had to be eutha-nized.

She was a 6-and-a-half-year-old beagle-pug mix named Coca.

On Nov. 30, police were contacted by the owner of the dog. Investigators located dog kibble that had been spread over a 15-foot area around a mailbox on Shawbridge, in the

area of Hwy. 27 and Rutherford.The kibble was seized and sent for expert

examination.The Center of Forensic Science has con-

firmed that glycol was present on the kibble that police seized from the scene.

Investigators from the #4 District Criminal Investigations Bureau canvassed for witness-es in the Shawbridge Boulevard area over the next few days.

The investigation is ongoing and police are seeking anyone who observed any suspicious activity in the area to come forward. Police are also warning pet owners and parents to be extra vigilant and ensure that your pets and children aren’t eating anything found on the ground.

Anyone with information is asked to con-tact the York Regional Police #4 District Crim-inal Investigations Bureau at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7441.

Di Biase seeking to overturn penaltyBY ADAM [email protected]

Vaughan Deputy Mayor Michael Di Biase’s bid to quash a scathing report by the city’s ethics czar and overturn the penalty imposed by his council col-leagues could be before the courts next spring.

Morris Manning, Di Biase’s lawyer, filed a factum with the Divisional Court last week outlining reasons for seeking a judicial review of City Integrity Commis-sioner Suzanne Craig’s find-ings in April that Di Biase breached the code of con-duct for councillors and of council’s unanimous deci-sion to dock his pay for 90 days, the harshest penalty available under the Munici-pal Act.

Di Biase had little to say other than that he trusts his lawyer and is relying on his advice.

“We’ll wait and see; it’s all I can do now,” he said. “I follow the directions of my lawyer and we’ll see what happens.”

Manning said he’s confi-dent that there’s a solid case

for quashing the integrity commissioner’s report and overturning the pay suspen-sion.

Craig, meanwhile, is opti-mistic her findings and the penalty imposed by council will be upheld.

“I believe what we wit-nessed in April was the accountability and transpar-ency section of the Munici-pal Act in action,” she said. “I believe that individuals were courageous in coming for-ward. I believe that the coun-cil of the City of Vaughan was courageous in receiving my recommendations.”

Many of the arguments laid out in the factum are similar to those Manning made to city council back in April, when Craig tabled findings of a probe that con-cluded the veteran politician had interfered in the city’s tendering process to secure projects for Maystar General Contractors and intimidated staff who pushed back.

In the factum, Manning alleges Di Biase was not given “a real opportunity” respond to the integrity commission-er’s findings.

The factum states that Di Biase was denied a request to know the identity of the people who made accusa-tions against him and was not provided with their statements or documents they provided to the integ-rity commissioner during her probe.

During her investiga-tion, Craig spoke to more than 30 staff members who expressed concern about Di Biase’s conduct. Their names were kept secret, for fear of reprisals, she noted in her report.

“The failure to provide proper disclosure tainted the investigation by the (Integ-rity) Commissioner and the matter before council from the outset,” the factum states.

Craig didn’t investigate Maystar and there’s noth-ing in her reports to indicate the company did anything wrong.

York Regional Police launched a probe into city contracts signed during Di Biase’s 24 years in office.

That police investigation was handed over to the OPP.

Season’s Greetings To All OurCustomers In Thornhill

OPEN TO THE PUBLICEstablished in 1989

Cemetery dates back to early 1800s

site may be established as a cemetery or the remains may be removed and re-buried in a cemetery within the municipality.

The Thornhill Golf and Country Club had planned to build an in-ground pool and cabana just a few feet away from Holy Trinity Cemetery, one of the oldest in the city.

Earlier this fall, when the club began dig-ging as part of a provincially mandated arche-ological assessment, workers made the dis-covery of bone fragments; a piece of jewelry; and the outline of a small grave.

The discovery of remains and the location of the proposed pool have upset churchgoers, who say the sound of “cannonballs diving into the pool” will disrupt the sanctity of the active cemetery, which runs along Yonge Street, and where the founders and original settlers of Thornhill are among those buried.

Members of the church reached out to Vaughan Councillor Alan Shefman, who said he was “sympathetic to the church’s con-

cerns,” but preferred not to get involved in matters that go to the citizen-run committee of adjustment.

The golf and country club has been around since 1922. Two years ago, it approved a plan to upgrade its facilities, including construc-tion of an in-ground pool.

The remains were found 10 metres from the cemetery.

Shop for food, gifts at Christmas Market in Thornhill

This Saturday, Dec. 19, the Village Market in Thornhill presents a Christmas Market, fea-turing face painting, a children’s choir, a food prep demo, and a craft market upstairs in the Toronto Waldorf School lobby.

The Christmas Market is offered in addi-tion to the usual 10 organic and biodynamic farmers who, thanks to the mild winter so far and the wonders of greenhouse growing, still have local organic produce for sale.

Among the dozen craft vendors participat-ing in the seasonal market, there will be a wood toy maker, a candlestick maker, an arti-san jeweler, a 12-year-old maker of peg dolls, and a 13-year-old maker of knitted hats.

Special events will include face painting

for children from 9 a.m. to noon, a food demo with local chef Doris Fin from 9 to 10 a.m., performances by the Christian Community Children’s Choir at 10:30 and 11:00 a.m., and music from folksinger Ed Crabtree.

Founded in 1991 as a social enterprise to encourage local organic and biodynamic farming by creating a place where farmers could sell direct to urban families, and help fund the Toronto Waldorf School, the Village Market will celebrate its 25th anniversary in the autumn of 2016.

The market is located in the lower level of the Toronto Waldorf School, 9100 Bathurst St., between Hwy. 7 and Rutherford Road. It is open Saturdays only, 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

It will close for just one Saturday after Christmas, Dec. 26, and reopen again Jan. 2.

Mom picking up child at school among drivers arrested for impaired

A mother is charged with impaired driving after her vehicle, with her four children inside, struck a tree last weekend.

Another mother was arrested for impaired driving after attempting to pick up her child from school.

Those were two of 20 arrests for impaired

driving or driving over 80 made by York Region-al Police last weekend as part of the 2015 Fes-tive Season Enhanced RIDE program.

Police also issued 10, three-day licence sus-pensions for people who registered within the ‘warn’ range on roadside alcohol tests.

Half of the arrests stemmed from calls from concerned citizens.

All of the arrested drivers had their licences suspended for 90 days.

A mom recently shared her concern with me about her child being a “pushover”.

She said that even though she was just seven years old, she was already seeing her daughter as more of a fol-lower than a leader. Looking to the future, this mom wor-ried that her daughter might be willing to try too hard to please a peer or even do something against her will, just to make someone else happy.

She asked me for advice on how to turn things around.

One specific concern was her daughter giving special items away to peers, causing her to worry that this may be her daughter’s way of win-ning them over or buying their attention.

The mom expressed con-fusion as to why this may be, since she and her hus-band dote on their child and give her lots of their time and attention.

I suggested a reframe.Perhaps, I said, it was

because her child was so used to getting their atten-tion and unconditional love that she couldn’t understand why she might not be getting the same from her peers.

I recommended, of course, that they not with-draw their attention or love, but suggested this, combined with a child’s desire to belong and feel included in a peer group, along with her gener-ous nature, may cause her to behave as she did.

This mom also expressed concern about what might happen when her child grew into teen years if she con-tinued to be a “pushover”. What might happen when her child was introduced to drugs or alcohol? Or followed the cool kids who weren’t the best influence?

I reassured the mom that she had at least the next five or six years to monitor the sit-uation and continue to guide her child toward making wise decisions and choices.

I recommended that she read childrens’ books that

complemented the mes-sage she wanted to deliver — those that allowed her child to project herself onto the pages that offered sto-ries about one child follow-ing another down the wrong path and the consequences of doing so.

In doing my own research, I found it difficult to find a specific title for a seven year old, but did come across a book titled Peer Pressure: Deal with it Without Losing Your Cool (Slavens, Shan-non), which I thought would be helpful for the mom to review and share parts of it with her child.

I also suggested that rather than lecturing or admonish-ing her daughter for behav-iour that triggered this mom’s worst fear of her being taken advantage of by others, that she encourage more of the behaviours she hoped to see, by making comments, such as,“I love how you stood up for what you believed in”.

Finally, I asked the mom about her parenting style and expectations. I shared that despite her best intentions, her parenting style may actu-ally be contrary to what she was trying to instill in her child.

I explained if you want your child to become a leader and think for him or herself, you shouldn’t fret that she has “a mind of her own” or that he doesn’t like to be told what to do. Of course, there needs to be parental limits and boundaries set, but as much as possible, encourage independent thought, and ask questions that allow your child to learn from his expe-rience and the behaviour of others.

This helps encourage a child to feel capable of mak-ing good decisions and not following others blindly or becoming a pushover.

If you hope to remain the most powerful influence for as long as possible, you may be interested in reading my latest book, How to Influence Your Kids for Good (Harper Collins Canada) on shelves and online.

Season of giving can involve modest, priceless donations

hat about the poor, the home-less, the unem-ployed who are here already?

That question is raised by some of the many people who are against welcoming refugees to this province and country.

According to some polls, almost half of us are against the government’s plan to accept 25,000 refugees. They perhaps aren’t part of the groundswell of donations and charitable giving efforts to provide warm clothing, shelter and social assistance to refugee families escaping war and terrorism or trapped in holding camps for years.

One stated reason is that our welfare and healthcare systems are already stretched, and we have people living on our streets, too, who need food and shelter.

If that’s how you feel, then don’t donate to a Syrian refugee fund or bring clothing or household items to a church group sponsoring a family.

You can put your resolve and your actions behind your con-cerns, and make life a little better for your neighbours experiencing challenges right in York Region.

There are so many modest ways to help.

Last week I donated several pairs of winter boots my daughter and son had outgrown to a cloth-ing collection organization.

I donated about 15 airline toi-letry kits to a regional agency that will give them out to those who are homeless over the holidays. (My husband is a very frequent flyer who keeps bringing home unopened kits.)

And when I went grocery shopping, I dropped one extra bag of pasta, sauce, fruit cups, juice packs, etc. into the store’s food bank collection bin.

So with very little effort on my part, I helped provide a few items of warm clothing, hygiene items and food to those in need right in my community.

You don’t have to look hard to

find donation drives right in your city or town that resonate for you.

Every day at my office, I hear and see donations from gener-ous readers and advertisers being dropped off to sponsor less for-tunate families through our York Region Media Santa Fund.

And there are altruistic, price-less donations you can give, as well.

York Region’s own Health Min-ister, Hon. Jane Philpott, donated blood on Monday in Ottawa to help encourage others to give the gift of life this holiday season.

Last week I made my 25th blood donation at Hillcrest Mall’s permanent blood clinic.

Canadian Blood Services encourages donors to make a big deal of landmark donations, mostly to encourage other donors to strive to give more.

So nurses gave me a 25-dona-tion pin and cheerful sticker to wear to proclaim my own personal record. As I had health challenges last year and hadn’t given blood for a while, I was proud to be able give the stuff of life once again.

But as I sat at the recovery table I met another donor, a man from Woodbridge, who told me he’s closing in on his 150th donation! And a fellow York Region editor just gave his 41st pint of blood.

Regular, dedicated donors don’t care what religion a patient is who needs a blood transfusion, wheth-er they are rich or poor, homeless or unemployed, bank president or fast food employee.

That’s the joy of this season of giving — it’s not who you help that matters, it’s how you feel to give that’s the ultimate reward.

Plenty of thrills with Genesis R-Spec Coupe

Turn to page 10

By Lorne DruryMetroland Wheels

Trust Hyundai to one-up the opposi-tion — again.

This time it’s with the 2015 Genesis Coupe R-Spec model that sets a new standard as the most powerful car under $30,000 on the Canadian market.

A rear-wheel drive sports coupe, the Genesis comes standard with a tire-smoking, direct injection 348 hp 3.8-litre V6 engine — all for $29,499.

Hyundai calls the R-Spec the “enthusi-ast-focused” model and it is equipped to bring out the boy-racer in all of us.

While I’m well past the target demo-graphic for this car, any enthusiast, re-gardless of age, will � nd it a fun, exhila-rating ride.

R-Spec models arrive with a variety of high-performance features such as

bucket seats with large side bolsters to keep occupants � rmly in place during high-speed cornering. There is also an impressive Brembo brake package, Tors-en-type limited slip di� erential, a sport-tuned suspension with ratcheted up spring rates and specially-tuned damp-ing, along with 19-inch alloy wheels � t-ted with high-performance Bridgestone Potenza summer tires.

Interestingly, R-Spec is the entry level into the Genesis Coupe lineup — a de-parture from the norm as most automak-ers place their high-performance models up near the top of the food chain.

Not so with Hyundai, which has the more expensive Premium and GT levels for drivers in search of more upscale fea-tures and technologies.

The Premium model ($32,199) comes with a power sunroof, HID headlamps, LED daytime running lights, heated front

seats, proximity keyless entry with push button start, rear view camera, 10-speak-er In� nity audio system and seven-inch touchscreen navigation.

Move up to the GT model ($37,199) and more goodies are added such as more luxurious interior appointments.

All models come standard with a six-speed manual gearbox. An extra $1,800 gets you an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the Premium and GT models.

Few consumers would bat an eyelash if you were to tell them that the R-Spec is a value leader — after all Hyundai has built its reputation by o� ering vehicles that surpass expectations.

But most people, particularly Ameri-can muscle car fans, would be amazed to learn that the Genesis Coupe R-Spec also outmuscles cars like the base Chevy Camaro (323 hp 3.6-litre V6) and Ford

Mustang (300 hp, 3.7-litre V6) on the horsepower front.

Similarly, the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ rear-drive sports cars fall well short

in the power department with 200 hp and torque of 151 lb/ft.

The 3.8-litre V6 in the R-Spec and all Gen-esis Coupes for 2015 was only available

For 2015, the high-performance R-Spec model is the entry into the Genesis Coupe lineup.

on the GT model in 2014. It propels the car to a 0-100 km/h time in the low five-second range, ac-cording to Hyundai.

The limited slip diff helps out, ensuring power is equally distributed to the rear wheels.

The Genesis Coupe has undergone only minor changes since its debut as a 2009 model, although it received a facelift in 2013, notably with a revised front fascia.

Styling wise, the Genesis Coupe R-Spec has clas-sic coupe proportions with a long hood, short rear deck and a wide, planted stance. Although an aging

design, it still has a modern yet classic look.Inside, there is seating for four and the look is

more upscale than one would expect from a base model. The deeply bolstered seats are leather trimmed with a contrasting red stitching.

However, the dash and console appear a bit out-dated with lots of plastic-looking materials.

Since the R-Spec version is aimed at driving en-thusiasts, the track-tuned suspension is on the firm side. For example, the R-Spec and GT front spring rates are seven per cent firmer than on the Premium model and the rear springs are 11 per cent firmer.

Similarly, the steering is on the heavy side for a car of this size.

With its powerful V6 engine, rear-wheel drive and relatively light weight of 1,628 kg (3,589 lb), the R-Spec can be a handful when you push it. But as a nod to the enthusiast, the R-Spec has a three-stage Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.

On start up, the ESC is full on, while the inter-mediate setting disables powertrain override but retains ESC braking function. There is also a full-off ESC mode for the driver who wants to take part in autocross events or track days.

And that’s a big part of what the R-Spec is all about.

It has its flaws, but there’s a lot to like about this pocket rocket that’s equally at home on the street or the track.

The Genesis R-Spec has classic coupe styling with a long hood , and short over-hangs in the front and rear.

NOTICE OF INTENDED DECLARATIONPursuant to section 176 of Ontario Regulation 30/11 madeunder the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002

Re: Burial site at the Thornhill Golf and Country Club, 7994 Yonge Street, Thornhill,in the City of Vaughan, Province of Ontario

TAKE NOTICE that on October 9, 2015 the discovery of a burial site at the above addresswas reported to the Registrar, Funeral, Burial, and Cremation Services Act, 2002.

Human remains were discovered during an archeological assessment being conducted,on the property of the Thornhill Golf and Country Club, adjacent to and south of the HolyTrinity Anglican Cemetery, located at 8004 Yonge Street. The Trinity Anglican Cemeterywas Thornhill’s first official cemetery, established sometime between 1804 and 1830.No records of burials outside the current cemetery boundaries have been located.

Further archaeological investigation has confirmed that this is a single square grave withhuman skeletal remains and a small iron clasp or pin. This indicates that the intentionalburial is historic and had been carried out in a European/Euro-Canadian fashion. Therewas no evidence of coffin wood or burial hardware.

The Registrar hereby gives notice of the intention to declare the discovered site a“burial ground”, and invites representatives of the persons whose remains are interred inthe burial ground to contact the Registrar within two weeks after December 17, 2015.Once identified, the representatives will negotiate a site disposition agreement with theThornhill Golf and Country Club, the landowner.

BY JEREMY [email protected]

An experienced criminal lawyer at the New-market courthouse says his increasing expec-tation is that Marco Muzzo will plead guilty in the new year to avoid a trial.

The 29-year-old King resident has been in prison in Lindsay since the late September crash in Vaughan that killed three young chil-dren — Harry, Daniel and Millie Neville-Lake and their grandfather, Gary Neville, of King.

It also left two other family members badly injured.

Muzzo has appeared in court five times, mostly by video link and, until the last appear-ance, his lawyer, Brian Greenspan, one of Can-ada’s best known, insisted he has continued to wait for disclosure from police.

One detail that gives credence to the theory a deal is in the works is Greenspan’s request for Muzzo to appear in person at the Newmar-ket court Jan. 6, according to criminal lawyer Domenic Manzo.

A further indication, Manzo said, is that Muzzo’s legal team has yet to request bail.

“That’s a big sign,” he said. “Once a bail hearing is delayed more than once, you start thinking, ‘What’s going on?’ Defence will have been waiting to see what kind of case they have against them. If it’s a strong case, lots of wit-

nesses and he’s on scene when police arrive, then defence might say, ‘Best to plead out’.”

He said if this is, indeed, the defence’s strat-egy, then Muzzo will have been, up until now, showing remorse by remaining behind bars.

It will also play to his benefit if he chooses to plead prior to bail ever being sought, because he will get the maximum amount of credit for admitting guilt at the earliest point.

At that point, if the Crown and defence can work out a deal and then present it to a judge at judicial pretrial, he added that Muzzo could be out of prison by 2018.

“I would have expected between eight and 10 years, but I’ve heard rumours that it’s as low as seven,” he said.

Manzo added that if the Muzzo family – one of the richest in Canada – puts up a large donation toward a foundation and gives some money to the Neville-Lake family, the sentence could be lowered significantly.

Muzzo could serve as little as two years in a minimum security prison, considering he’s garnering 1-1/2 days worth of credit for each 24 hours he’s in prison pre-trial. Furthermore, a prisoner typically serves one third of his sen-tence in Canada.

Plea may be in works in Muzzo case

erlene Samuel-Cephas never wanted to be in the spotlight.

But the well-known Newmarket resident and founder of the Spotlight

Theatre School and non-profit The Voice Impact Project Theatre Troupe became popular for choreographing pageants, fundraisers and musical the-atre for children, teenagers and adults.

She also wrote original plays for the Toronto and London fringe the-atre festivals and cared deeply about children, something demonstrated by the formation of Voice Impact, which promoted youth participation in theatre.

Merlene died Nov. 5 after a long battle with cancer. She was 52.

“She did everything to assist those that were not able to afford to go to

Spotlight shines on area theatre school founder

Merlene Samuel-Cephas (from right), daughter Quincey, husband Jan and son Myles. Merlene died Nov. 5 after a long battle with cancer. She was 52.

Mart and theatre classes,” family friend Wasim Jarrah said, in an interview last month.

“She owned the spotlight but never wanted to be in it. She loved Newmarket. If she could have done more, she would have.”

Merlene studied with some of Can-ada’s leading choreographers, directors and playwrights — including Mavor Moore, Greg Peterson and Michael Montennaro — in the areas of musical theatre, modern dance, jazz, ballet, fine arts and cultural studies.

Merlene also wrote plays about the life of abolitionist Sojourner Truth and the AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa, which have been performed by York schools.

Merlene’s students have com-peted in Ontario, New York, Califor-nia, Ohio, Boston, Myrtle Beach and Pennsylvania.

Her death was clearly felt by the community, which raised thousands of dollars for the family through a Go Fund Me online campaign, to help cover funeral and living expenses and start an arts scholarship in Mer-lene’s honour.

“It has so much to do with Merlene and what she’s given back as an individual,” Wasim said, noting husband Jan and children Myles and Quincey were devastated by Merlene’s death, but appreciated the outpouring of community support.

“This is a testament to her character and being a com-munity leader that didn’t want the spotlight. The community is coming together because they knew her generosity and what kind of a compassionate person she was.”

“Adored by children, universally respected and an inspiration to her peers, Mrs. McCluskey was a tireless volunteer, quick to defl ect the praise heaped on her.”
