our hundred years have passed since the French arrived in what is now Ontario.

To mark the milestone Brûlé-Wendats Expedition, La Societe d’histoire de Toronto organized a long journey from the Samuel de Champlain monument in Orillia to Le Sentier Partagé/The Shared Path: Toronto Historical Park between Sept. 11 and 13.

Part of the trek will run through York Region Sept. 12 and includes a plaque unveiling at the East Gwillimbury GO Transit train station at 9 a.m., a Nokiidaa Trail encampment at 9:45 a.m. and a celebration at Riverwalk Commons at 11 a.m.

The celebration includes music by Les Enchanteurs and 17th century French Canadian cuisine.

Welcoming ceremonies will also be held at the Aurora Armoury in Town Park and along the Oak Ridges Moraine Trail, at the 16th Sideroad and Weston Road intersection in King Township, at 12:45 and 4 p.m., respectively.

“This was a fairly momentous point in Canadian history,” Patricia Montgomery, a co-ordinator for the event, said. “The New World was what the French wanted to establish a presence in. They were trying to establish themselves with the First Nations and ahead of the British as much as possible. It was looking for new markets, land and places to set up settlements. They put Ontario on the map (to Europeans).”

Explorer Étienne Brûlé is believed to have made the voyage to Quebec in the company of Champlain in 1608. Brûlé settled in Ontario in 1610 and became an interpreter between the French and their Amerindian allies. He appears to have been the first European to set eyes on — and give an oral

description of — the Ottawa Valley, Georgian Bay, Pennsylvania and four of the Great Lakes, according to the Canadian Museum of History.

The journey commemorates Brûlé’s 1615 expedition to Pennsylvania, ordered by Champlain to rally the Andastes people, and retraces one of the trails he may have taken.

It will be an odyssey for the historical enthusiasts, who are travelling 35 kilometres by canoe on Lake Simcoe, from Orillia to the mouth of the Holland River.

It will be an odyssey for the historical enthusiasts, who are travelling 35 kilometres by canoe on Lake Simcoe, from Orillia to the mouth of the Holland River.

Then they’ll walk 65 km during the final two days, ending the journey at the mouth of the Humber River.

People from a variety of ancestral backgrounds will participate, including members of the French, First Nations and English communities. Even visitors from Champigny-sur-Marne, Brûlé’s hometown in France, will make the trek. However, everyone is invited to join in, Montgomery said.

“It’s been quite exciting to see how many groups and communities want to participate,” she said.

“Champlain was not looking to conquer. He wanted to have an interaction with them as another nation.”

York Regional Police thwarted an armed robbery in Newmarket Aug. 20.

At 5 p.m., York Regional Police officers, including the K9 and emergency response units, were tracking a suspect in the Davis Drive and Leslie Street area.

A man exited a local bank and was approached by the suspect, who was armed with a handgun and allegedly demanded money, Const. Laura Nicole confirmed.

“The robbery was unsuccessful and the suspect was arrested,” she added.

A Newmarket father, who wishes to remain anonymous due to a fear of retribution, returned home from work to find a noticeable police presence in the Howard Road and Wayne Drive area, especially near Glen Cedar Public School.

“You know there is something going on when there are that many officers in one place,” he said.

Suspecting there was some

sort of danger to the public, he stopped to ask an officer what was going on before he picked up his daughter from daycare. He claims the officer simply responded, “Not now”.

“The whole park was surrounded and I was concerned,” the father said. “There were people in the park with their children.”

Appreciating that officers couldn’t go into full detail while they were serving, he didn’t press

for more details.

When he returned home, he searched the Internet for more information on the situation and found three tweets from @YRP, one stating that there was no reason for people in the area to stay inside.

“It doesn’t make sense to me,” the man said. “All is not well when there is a man running around with a gun. I don’t think (officers) did the best job because there is

ThANKS FOR VOTING US A FAVOURITE!

no harm in advising people to stay inside in these situations.”

While he is thankful officers apprehended the man, he would have appreciated a warning of the potential danger, especially when his daughter wanted to play in the front yard with the family dog.

Nicolas Coborn, 21, of Newmarket is charged with robbery with a firearm, pointing a firearm and breach of probation. He was to appear in court Aug. 21.

SUNDAY FORUM

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Lock out teachers, break union

Pharmacare levels playing field for all Canadians

I

n the June 26 Sunday Forum column by Christine Van Geyn, the new Ontario Director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, she basically outlined how the Ontario public high school teachers will be on strike this coming September.

Van Geyn suggested that, “Change is badly needed in Ontario education, because there will never be enough (money) to satisfy the teacher unions.”

This comment was based on not only high school teachers, but elementary teachers. While the high school teachers appear to be on their way to a deal, it remains to be seen if elementary teachers in Ontario will be on strike this September.

She went further to say, “Reinstating the use of tax credits for private school tuition, the use of a voucher system or the creation of (non-unionized) charter schools should be on the table.”

This was her method of fighting these powerful teacher unions.

Candice Malcolm, the former Ontario director of the CTF, wrote in her recent book – Generation Screwed – that the average family in Ontario owes the province more than $80,000 to help service the overwhelming debt.

What do I say, you wonder?

I strongly urge Premier Kathleen Wynne to lock out elementary and secondary teachers immediately and bust their union.

Now, hear me out before you go on a rant.

From Van Geyn’s column earlier this summer, we learned both these teachers unions are all powerful and “not concerned about the risk of bankrupting their employer – there is a seemingly unlimited pool of tax dollars to draw on to meet union demands.”

Also, the median teacher salary was $94,707 and the average was $83,500 (according to the 2012 Drummond Report).

I worked as a journalist for 40

Rod Urquhart AUTHOR: Rod Urquhart is author of two humour books available at the Georgina Art Centre & Gallery in Sutton.

Unions are actually driving up the annual deficit and, hence, the debt. Also, I have many, many friends whose adult children, who are teachers, had to leave this country for their profession or leave the province.

A landscaper I hired last year has a masters in history and a full Ontario teachers degree and he couldn’t get a job teaching in Ontario.

I say, lock out the current teachers and bust the union. Teachers who actually want to teach and not be unionized will be allowed back into the system.

The province can open the hiring doors for teachers and bring back all these young Ontarians overseas teaching in foreign countries.

Give my landscaper a chance at teaching. It may delay school a month or two, but in years to come, we’d have none of this constant labour grief the teachers unions seem to thrust upon our children each year.

Activist unionists (teachers) would be out on their butts and education would actually no longer hold our children (and hence their parents) hostage.

And, $94,000 a year and summers off sounds like quite the gig.

Re: National drug plan gives false hope, column by Bacchus Barua, Aug. 9.

I had to chuckle when I read Barua’s Sunday Forum.

Even though he agrees that there are legitimate reasons for implementing pharmacare in Canada, he can’t support it because he feels middle and high income Canadians will likely be worst off in their wallets.

In the Oct. 19 election, pharmacare should be an important election issue.

Barua asserts low income and vulnerable groups have sufficient coverage through provincial plans.

Without giving specifics, he glosses over this important fact by saying low income citizens pay very low or zero cost.

If so, why would pharmacare be such an issue with Canadians?

In most provinces, health care is being underfunded due to reductions in transfer payments to the provinces.

Apparently, the energy sector and the wealthy corporations need tax breaks instead of making the lives of all working class Canadian more managable.

Baccahus goes on to claim the cost of such plans are a cost to low income citizens in such countries as England and Australia.

Both countries have stripped their public

health systems to the bone, making it difficult for the most disadvantaged citizens to afford basic drugs, especially those on welfare, WSIB and old age security.

In the coming election, I will be casting my vote for the party that supports the concept of pharmacare and is willing to fully fund and strengthen the Canada Health Care Act. Pharmacare levels the playing field for those Canadians who have suffered a workplace injury, an unexpected illness or retired without a decent pension.

This system should be available to all Canadians, regardless of wealth. This would be the case if our taxation system was reformed to close loopholes that benefit the wealthy and corporations.

A caring society takes care of its citizens, something of which the Fraser Institute has no concept as it reduces the average Canadian citizen to a simple taxpayer.

We need to stop cutbacks to health care and honour the memories of Tommy Douglas, David Lewis and Jack Layton and find a way to implement pharmacare in Canada.

Weekend projects to transform your home Some home renovation projects require the expertise of professionals, but there also are many ways for homeowners to improve their homes without hiring a pro or spending too much money. The following are a handful of DIY renovation projects homeowners can tackle in a typical weekend.

breaking the colour pattern of the walls in the room. Accent walls also can be used to divert attention on a particular design element in a room, such as a painting or an elaborate wall furnishing.

Painting an accent wall won’t take very long, but such a project can give a room an entirely new look and feel.

Closet conversion

Driveway

Ample closet space is a big plus for home buyers, but upon moving into a new home, many homeowners may find they don’t need as much closet space as they initially thought. Guest room walkin closets, in particular, may prove to be under utilized resources. Such closets often come with built-in shelving, and therefore, they make ideal spaces to convert to mini home offices or study areas for kids.

Installing an extra shelf to serve as a desk area for remote working or homework stations won’t take up much of a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, and before you know it, you will have a fully functioning workspace.

If weather permits, repaving an asphalt driveway can be an ideal weekend project, especially if an existing driveway has endured its fair share of wear and tear. Many driveways can be paved anew in a single day, but larger driveways or those that have endured an extraordinary amount of wear and tear may take a couple of days.

Storage and shelving Much like some homes come with an abundance of storage areas, others fall short of homeowners’ or apartment dwellers’ storage needs. If your home or apartment falls into the latter category, adding some shelving or finding some new furniture that can serve double duty as storage areas is a weekend project that can help clear up some space.

Purchase some wood shelving from a local furniture retailer to mimic the look of traditional built-ins or replace existing single-use furniture with newer items capable of serving multiple functions, including storage.

Art If the rooms and hallways in your home are bare or in need of new looks but your budget is tight, try your hand at spicing things up by creating some of your own paintings. Parents can en-

courage kids to create their own colourful masterpieces. Frame the finished works and hang them on the wall and enjoy your inexpensive and homemade “art gallery.”

Coping with condensation and other home moisture issues Finding the right moisture balance in a home can be challenging. Too little moisture and a home can be plagued by static electricity and interior spaces that can feel dry and uncomfortable. But too much moisture in a home may make it susceptible to mould, mildew and insect infestations. Moisture also can rot wood and cause unsightly stains on walls and ceilings.

Maintaining humidity in the optimal indoor range helps to keep the home safe, reduce energy consumption and keep a home’s occupants healthy. Damp conditions can lead to the growth of fungi, viruses and bacteria and may exacerbate people’s asthma and allergies. The ideal relative humidity range of a home should be between 40 to 50, according to heating and cooling experts.

Humidity should be even lower in the winter to prevent condensation on windows and other surfaces.

Lower relative humidity also reduces the out-gassing of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Measure humidity with a hygrometer to get an accurate assessment. If the

humidity levels fall above or below the desired range, action should be taken.

Homeowners dealing with excessive moisture can try these remedies. · Ventilate areas of the home. Ventilation can be the first step to reducing indoor humidity. Target the areas that create the most moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Turn on venting fans to remove moist air from the bathroom during showers and baths. Exhaust hoods can control humidity from cooking in the kitchen. When possible, open windows on dry days to help air out damp spaces. · Rely on fans. Use fans to circulate the air and prevent moist air from pooling in certain locations. Fans also will help increase ventilation. · Keep gutters and downspouts clean. Prevent water from pooling around the foundation of a home and infiltrating the basement or crawlspace. Direct gutter water further away from the house if possible, and keep gutters free of obstructions. · Service HVAC systems regularly.

Routine inspections of heating

and cooling systems can identify any problems, such as clogged airconditioning drain lines or faulty operation, that can contribute to moisture problems. · Beef up insulation. Insulate cold water pipes and look into insulated toilet tanks that will help eliminate condensation issues. Sealing out moisture in a basement or crawl-

space also can help. Vapour barriers can eliminate a great deal of moisture coming into the home. · Address any plumbing leaks. Make sure you trace possible leaks to their sources and have them repaired. Constantly dripping water can add to humidity levels and create other problems. · Use a dehumidifier. If all other ef-

forts have been tried, a dehumidifier unit can help remove excess moisture from the air. Dehumidifiers are particularly helpful in basements where moisture can collect.

Controlling moisture in a home results in a safer and healthier space for your family.

It’s all for one for York Simcoe Bucs, York Lions i

BY JOHN CUDMORE

jcudmore@yrmg.com

The York Simcoe Bucs are going to school.

The competitive community youth football program is aligning with the York University Lions varsity program to forge a relationship that figures to result in a winning score for both sides.

Under a unique agreement to work in tandem, 14 Bucs coaches looked on from the sidelines during the Lions’ training camp workouts Aug. 19, ahead of the 2015 Ontario University Athletics season. From those sessions, the youth club coaches may extract drills, tips and insider football knowledge to bring home to their players.

For the Lions, it is an opportunity to create awareness of players in the Bucs program with an eye on playing at the collegiate level in future years.

“We want to look at how to become a premier team in Ontario and grow the sport in York Region,” Bucs president Dave Lovegrove said. “We have eyes and feet on the ground out there. At the (Ontario varsity) level, it is a chance to benefit our kids and coaches.”

The president of the organization, which serves players mainly in northern York Region, and Lions head coach Warren Craney have coached from opposite benches in the Bucs house league program.

“We’ve been looking to do

The York Simcoe Bucs have formed a partnership with the York University Lions. something like this for a while,” said Craney, a Newmarket resident. “For us, it’s about grassroots recruiting, but also about player and coaching development. The earlier we can get hands on and help develop players is a win-win.”

Two York coaches will be on the staff of the Bucs’ varsity-level team for the spring-summer league next season.

“I also want to develop my young coaches and the best way to do that is to coach at that level,” Craney said.

Lovegrove said exposure to coaching techniques employed by the Lions’ coaches and the presence of two York coaches on staff for the Bucs will benefit the program in the long run.

“We have two hours of practice

twice weekly, so there has to be an understanding how to run a practice and translate it into our mold,” said Lovegrove. “It’s a great fit for us.”

School daze snaps No high school football? No problem.

There might be a chance for

high school football players to get into action this fall, even if a work stoppage for Ontario teachers sacks traditional schedules.

York Simcoe Bucs president Dave Lovegrove said his organization is part of a contingency plan that would provide high school players impacted by a work stoppage a structured format in which to compete.

If teachers are unavailable to coach due to labour issues, the Ontario Varsity Fall Football League would extend its program to include autumn football for players from grades 10 through 12. Currently, the OVFFL provides football in late summer and fall for players ages eight to 14.

In York Region, the home sites for Bucs teams are King City and Aurora.

“We’re preparing a program for kids in case there is no high school ball,” Lovegrove said, pointing to interest from 50 players last week.

“I’d hate to see kids not play in their final year of high school. If there is a high school program, we’ll support that.”

He cautioned that should a high school football season kick off, thanks to a settlement between the teachers unions and provincial government, the proposed program would not be put into play.

A flower-lined trestle connects the first and second holes at Cardinal’s West Wing course.

jcudmore@yrmg.com

Taking flight on Cardinal’s West Wing Cardinal Golf Club – West Wing HEAD PRO: Rob Brandon, director of golf STATUS: Public SIGNATURE HOLE: No. 7 A large maple tree and a nearby oak are all that stand between your tee shot and a wide-open fairway on this par-4 test of 414 yards.

Mind you, those can be significant obstacles.

The notion of target golf is in play, with the ideal shot being fairly tight to the fairway-splitting maple, either left or right side, to allow for a good look at a wellprotected green. Over-driving left blocks out the green.

“Twenty years ago, we never thought we’d hit that (maple),” said Rob Brandon, Cardinal’s director of golf for the past nine years. “We’d aim at it and never hit it.”

Par is a good achievement.

TROUBLE AWAITS: Highlighting a series of challenging par-4 tests are Nos. 2, 6, 7 and 12.

Of this foursome, No. 12, at 349 yards, is the sneakiest.

A pond juts into the right side of the fairway and comes into play off the tee, eager to swallow up shots either from the air or ground. It’s a slight dogleg right to a green that resembles an inverted bowl and is tough to hold.

CURSE OF THE COURSE: With Kettleby Creek snaking its way through the property and combining with ponds, water comes into play on 15 of the 18 holes.

Says Brandon: “When people come here, they ask for either the hilly (East Wing) course or the one with all the water.”

GIMME A LIFE MEMBERSHIP: The three finishing holes on both nines combine to provide the best scenery on the par-71 golfer-friendly parklands style course.

The West Wing is an easy walking course with few elevation changes.

CLUB-TOSSING TIME: No. 18 We can live with the fact that a pond runs along the left side of the fairway for the tee shot on this par-5,

THE PR TOUR

’S

The Pro’s Tour reviews golf courses in and near York Region and appears on a regular basis on-line and in York Region Media Group newspapers.

489-yard (whites) finishing hole, but that same waterworks bends along with the dogleg left to shoulder the second fairway all the way to the green, again on the left side. It is to flirt with big numbers to get too far to the left of the fairway at any point on this hole. Nasty.

“Every score is possible,” said Brandon. “You have to decide whether to cut off distance by cutting off some of the pond or play out past the corner.”

THE PRO’S VIEW: “I like the course because of the risk-reward par fives,” said Brandon. “The par fours are really tough, but the par fives are scoreable.”

Brandon also pinpointed the back tees as a gamechanger.

“A lot of times, the white tees take trouble out of the round or make a hole shorter, but, here, it makes it tougher. Good players find it far more difficult from the back tees.”

Shorter tees are playable for the beginners, with no long forced carries or difficult elevation changes.

GENERAL INFO: Ranging from the forward-most tees at a shade over 3,200 yards to 6,400 yards from the tips, there are four sets of tees in play on this golferfriendly, parklands-style course … The West Wing is flatter than its East Wing sibling, but longer by almost 200 yards ... It’s part of a 72-hole facility that also includes practice facilities and a mini-golf course.

Head coach Shaun Maguire couldn’t let this pitch go by without taking a swing.

From the outset of this season, the chance to enter his Aurora Jays into the Lions – CNE Peewee Baseball Tournament was a must-do for the field manager of the squad of 12 and 13-year-olds.

Never mind that the Jays, who are classified at the double-A level, drew a tough opponent in the Vaughan Vikings triple-A squad in a first-round clash set for Aug. 24 at 12:30 p.m.

Maguire has fond memories of the high-profile tournament, which, this year, includes 32 teams and began Aug. 21.

After all, he played twice in the event, including for the 1984 tournament-champion East York Bulldogs.

“I made certain we were getting this tournament, for sure,” said Maguire, whose son, Gavin, is a member of the Jays’ roster.

“It’s one of the most prestigious peewee tournaments in Canada. Not many kids get to play in it.”

Although the Jays are in tough against the Vikings in the single-loss elimination format, he’s giving his players a simple

message.

“We’ll just tell them to play their butts off,” said Maguire, whose team is also hosting a Baseball Ontario qualifying tournament this weekend in Aurora, starting Saturday morning.

For Maguire, whose Bulldogs entry defeated the Welland Tigers in the 1984 final, it’s a chance to revisit a former winning stomping grounds – sort of, since the tournament will be played outside the CNE grounds at Coronation Park due to construction of a Toronto Raptors practice facility, making the CNE diamond unavailable.

“I remember it very vividly,” said Maguire, who also played in the 1985 tournament. “It was our first major accomplishment in baseball.

“We were an all-star team. Everyone had to play in the house league and we’d play together in tournaments on weekends.

Once we found out we were going to be playing in the CNE, it was a big thing for everyone on the team.”

WALLING, Robert Barry

January 10, 1942 - August 20, 2015 Long-time resident of Aurora and founder of Bob’s Plumbing.

Passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, August 20.

He was surrounded with love by Pat, Laura, Victoria and Mary Rose as the new journey began. Devoted husband of 50 years to Pat. Loving father to Michael (Stephanie), Laura (Paul & stepdaughter Carly), and Scott (Chelsea). Proud papa to Victoria (Mahmood) and grandfather to Zack & Jacob. Great-grandfather to Yusuf, Ibraheem and Summaiya.

While establishing his plumbing business he found time to be part of the Aurora Fire Department. Unfortunately before he could really enjoy retirement, he was stricken with ALS. Since the diagnosis Bob and Pat had been living the condo life and made each day count. Thanks to all the condo residents and after mass coffee group at the mall. Such great times were shared. Sarah McGuire, our ALS life line, always had an answer and a shoulder. Family and friends, thank you all.
