Farmers feeling better after Tuesday’s rain BY LISA QUEEN

GET CONNECTED

lqueen@yrmg.com

Tuesday’s steady rain came as welcome relief in a summer marked by weather extremes. Most of the summer has been plagued by drought, interrupted by a couple of severe storms, including a hailstorm July 8 that caused serious damage to crops in the Holland Marsh and one last Saturday in Georgina that saw an F1 tornado touch down near Sunset Beach on the southeast shore of Lake Simcoe. Even Tuesday’s rain came with a severe thunderstorm watch and a severe rainfall warning in York Region from Environment Canada, which also cautioned about severe weather in other parts on southern Ontario. You won’t find Markham farmer Jay Reesor or Holland Marsh farmer Avia Eek complaining about the rain since Saturday. “We had a long period of drought but we had two inches of rain on Saturday, I guess it was, and we’re grateful for that,” said Reesor, who has a farm at 9th Line and Elgin Mills Road. “And we’re grateful for any more rain that comes our way. There’s not been too much rain at all at this point. It’s been really, really, really dry all spring and summer. The ground needs more rain. We really welcome that rain. Obviously (Saturday’s rain), we would have liked it to

have come down a bit slower and gentler over two days but it came down over a period of an hour or whatever. But we’re very grateful.” Eek, a King Township councillor, is ecstatic about the rain. “If I could do a happy dance, I would,” said Eek, who has an 85-acre carrot and onion farm in the Holland Marsh. “(The summer has been) brutal, awful, challenging. It’s been incredibly challenging.” Pointing to a wet spring with threats of frost, two days of severe winds about three months ago, the hailstorm in July and the ongoing drought, Eek has spent $14,000 on additional labour this season and an extra $3,000 a month on additional irrigation costs. “Our farmers, God bless them, if I hear anybody complain about the price of food, I’ll have some choice words for them because I know what our farmers have been going through,” she said. “They have been working like 19 hours

Avia and Bill Eek are happy rain has finally arrived. The Holland Marsh farmers grow carrots and onions on their 85-acre farm and have suffered losses this season.

Impaired driving: the grey area of pharmaceuticals W BY SAMANTHA BEATTIE

hen Robert Phillips got into his car one Tuesday last May he felt fine. Within a few hours, though, he’d come close to falling asleep at the wheel as he swerved into oncoming traffic and forced transport trucks onto the highway’s shoulder, said Crown attorney Ted Carlton in a Muskoka courthouse Dec. 22, 2015. Police eventually stopped the Parry Sound resident in Bracebridge. “The officer found Mr. Phillips had no odour of alcohol on his breath, but a slight slur in his speech,” said Carlton. “He stated he’d taken his medications that morning and simply felt tired.” Later that day, May 6, 2015, a urine test revealed Phillips, then 43, had a number of drugs in his system, including oxycodone – an opioid pain medication. His family doctor had prescribed the drug cocktail after Phillips suffered four concussions in five years, said defence lawyer Peter Ward. Immediately following the incident Phillips went to his family doctor who adjusted his medications and found a solution. Phillips was initially charged with impaired by alcohol, but it was withdrawn.

At the time of the incident, he had no criminal record and a

very small number of Highway Traffic Act infractions. “It scared me as much as anyone else.” Phillips was sentenced to 12 months probation, a $750 fine and a 45-day licence suspension. He did not respond to multiple

requests for comment. Cases like Phillips’ are becoming more common across Ontario. Impaired driving by drugs happens almost as frequently as impaired driving by alcohol, said OPP Sgt. Dave Wallbank of the Highway Safety Division. Marijuana is the leading drug of choice, followed closely by pharmaceuticals, he said. The OPP are currently not tracking the number of pharmaceutical-related cases, but it’s “not rare for traffic officers to encounter drugs from the prescription world,” said Wallbank. Prescribed opioids like oxycodone (as Phillips was taking), sedatives like Valium and even stimulants like Ritalin can impact a person’s ability to drive, according to the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse. Research shows opioids and sedatives can cause drowsiness, impair co-ordination, reduce ability to multitask and increase errors. “Studies of traffic crashes reveal that drivers who test positive for the use of sedatives are two to eight times more likely than alcohol-free and drug-free drivers to be involved in a fatal traffic crash,” said the CCSA’s report. That statistic applies to opioid use as well. “The driving behaviour of someone who See page A7.

Food truck owners cooking up success in northern York BY CHRIS SIMON

csimon@yrmg.com

atty Kotsopoulos was skeptical when her husband, Danny, wanted to purchase a food truck. One year later, the Philthy Philly’s owners can’t seem to find the time for a pit stop. With the recent introduction of food truck festivals in Bradford and Stouffville, rib fests in almost every York Region community, the relaxing of local bylaws on street eats sales and the popularity of related programming on TV channels such as the Food Network, the portable grub industry is in the midst of a boon. And there’s no sign it’s slowing down.

For more information on the food trucks featured in this article visit philthyphillys.com, wickedlysinful.com and gourmetgringos.com.

“Aside from doing all the events, it’s great advertising,” Kotsopoulos said, noting the truck sits near the southeast corner of the Davis Drive and Yonge Street intersection when it’s not in use. “When my husband first said ‘food truck’, I thought he was crazy. I thought it’s a fad. But as soon as we put it out there, we got calls to do weddings and birthday parties. People love the idea of having a truck at their special event. Because of the construction (on Davis), a lot of people were avoiding this corner (of the plaza). But people would actually stop at the truck and want food. Then they’d look up and realize we had the restaurant.” The Kotsopoulos Family opened a storefront Philly’s restaurant in a Davis plaza in Newmarket three years ago, but decided to venture into the food truck industry in time for last year’s Food Truck Frenzy at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. Philly’s specializes in cheesesteaks and poutine and the owners quickly realized they’d made a wise business decision to expand. “This year, the CNE’s asked us

Patty Kotsopoulos, owner of Philthy Philly’s, holds up the Big “E-Z” sandwich filled with steak, cheese, bacon, southwest chipotle and more. The restaurant is located at 56 Davis Dr., in Newmarket. Philthy Philly’s is also well-known for its food truck. to be there for 10 days,” she said. “They really like our product. We’ve done well because there aren’t many places that offer (cheesesteak).” The name recognition also allowed them to sell their first franchise in Pickering recently. Whether you’re in the mood for fries, pizza or Mexican, there are quality and respected food trucks available in northern York Region to meet your needs. While they often book space at festivals throughout the Greater Toronto Area and rarely keep to one location in the warm weather months,

fans manage to track the best trucks through social media. That includes Newmarket’s Wickedly Sinful, which started by selling low carb options, but has since embraced the gourmet poutine concept by offering steak, duck and vegetarian varieties of the popular Quebecois fare. This is the busy season for food trucks because many owners park their vehicles during the colder weather months. “We tried one year, but it’s just too hard on the equipment and you’re not really going to have people waiting to eat food when

it’s too cold out,” Wickedly Sinful owner Andrew Tedford said. “We did an event in the Distillery District (in Toronto) and it was -35 (C). It was bloody cold. We looked like we were going skiing we were bundled up so much. With the big (order) window, the heat gets sucked right up.” Tedford traces the emergence of the industry to the economic recession in the United States in 2008, when some talented chefs were left unemployed. The industry blossomed in Canada a few years later. “It was a chance to flex my cre-

ativity,” Tedford, a former Seneca College web design and advertising professor, said. “Originally, we were looking at a brick and mortar (restaurant) and lunch delivery service. We looked at the truck because it’s basically a restaurant on wheels. There’s a huge risk, but you can try something out and if that doesn’t work, try something else. We quickly realized nobody wants low carb anything (around here). It’s been quite the learning curve.” There’s also plenty of camaraderie amongst truck owners. While they’re competing for business, to an extent, they realize patrons are often drawn to groups of trucks. “People share information; there’s a family feel to it,” Tedford said. “Food trucks are a social thing. You’re supposed to go out with friends. The more trucks there are generates that buzz. There’s that competition element, but we’re parked within a foot of each other at these events. We’re all in the same boat trying to pay our bills.” Krystian Catala, owner of the Aurora-based Gourmet Gringos truck, opened a food truck “for fun” in August 2012 while taking a year off from post-secondary school. The business has grown and now includes several restaurants throughout the Greater Toronto Area. “I love cooking; I grew up in the restaurant industry,” he said. “I was working full-time, but I had a lot of spare time. I always wanted to do it and it took off. Here we are today.” However, he believes the industry grew because it offered patrons quick, quality meals and a unique experience. “When we first started, we were probably the fifth food truck in Toronto; we were the first Latin/ Mexican truck in Canada,” Catala said. “That first year, they were something new. We’d park downtown (Toronto) and a hundred people would pull up right off the bat.”

Cyclists hit road for cancer By Brea Bartholet

bbartholet@yrmg.com

Hundreds of cyclists are getting ready for the 15th annual Ride for Karen bike ride, stretching from as far north as Georgina, all the way down to Whitchurch-Stouffville. The Aug. 28 event will include a variety of cycling enthusiasts, including a handful of Bradford residents, to pay tribute to the life and legacy of Karen Tobias, who passed away in 2002 after a battle with breast cancer. Bradford’s Paul Bond has participated in the event once before, saying he first learned about Karen’s story through people at the Newmarket Eagles Cycling Club.

“The ride is well organized and comes in different divisions and abilities. It’s the only charity ride I choose to take part in,” he said. The event has raised more than $2.3 million, with 100 per cent of the proceeds donated to help send children with cancer to camp. This year’s ride features a century ride of 160 km (100 miles), a 100-km route and a new 200-km route. Ride for Karen is also pleased to welcome former professional cyclist and New York Times bestselling author Tyler Hamilton to the milestone event.

Stimulants can initially reduce feelings of tiredness, but once the effects wear off drivers might experience intensified fatigue, depression and inattention. “Among drivers stopped by the police, who were subsequently found to have been using stimulants, inattention, speeding, risktaking, poor impulse control and aggressive driving are common,” said the report. When Phillips’ doctor slightly altered his medications, Phillips told court he had no idea it would impact his driving ability so profoundly. But it did and he was held responsible. “He was aware the impact his medication was having on him, but he continued to drive and didn’t have reasonable consid-

When doctors prescribe medications the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario requires them to advise their patients about the risks and benefits, said spokesperson Tracey Sobers. This includes drug effects and interactions, side effects, precautions and instances when the drugs should not be taken.

Pharmacists also have a responsibility. “It’s absolutely the job of the pharmacist to inform patients of medication risks and if those risks are aggravated because of other medications,” said spokesperson Lori DeCou on behalf of the Ontario College of Pharmacists. “Having said that, patients have a role to play as well in staying informed,” she said. Canadian pharmacists are required under their standards of practice to review each prescription a patient takes to ensure it is the most appropriate and there are no significant interactions with other medications. If a patient is at risk of experiencing problems, the pharmacist is to go through a review process to educate the patient, make changes to therapies, or recommend changes to the patient’s doctor, according to the standards of practice document. When it comes to warning labels, that’s not up to pharmacists, but rather Health

Canada and the drug manufacturer, said DeCou. Some prescribed medications, including a handful used to treat anxiety, depression and insomnia, have warning labels, such as, “may cause drowsiness,” “do not operate heavy machinery,” or “do not drive,” reports the Ministry of Transportation. Over-the-counter drugs like Benadryl and Claritin come with similar warnings. Depending on a patient’s health conditions, age and countless other factors, medications without explicit warning labels can also impact driving ability, according to the Canadian Safety Council. Older drivers, for example, are likely to experience drowsiness, blurred vision and dizziness from pain relievers, cough suppressants and blood pressure drugs. “People should be concerned about any drugs that impact their ability to divide attention,” said Wallbank. “If they think there’s any potential, then they should not be driving.”

The town is offering a host of opportunities for residents to give their two cents when it comes to how your tax dollars will be spent in 2017. Through an online citizen budget survey and education posted to social media, the town hopes to engage more residents in the budget process.

Tell Aurora how you want your tax dollars spent. The town wants to engage more residents to participate in the budget process through the use of online tools and social media. All residents are invited to contribute to the 2017 municipal budget process through the use of an online tool, Aurora’s Citizen Budget. The interactive tool allows residents to explore 13 core service areas and how an increase or decrease in funding allocations would impact current service levels. For example, participants will be able to see how their taxes increase if they want to build a new community centre or how it could decrease by reducing the number of programs offered through the town’s recreational facilities. “The Citizen Budget is truly an innovative approach to engaging citizens and providing us with the input and feedback we need

to make the best decisions possible for the town,” Mayor Geoff Dawe said, noting the town wants to see as many residents as possible participating in the 2017 budget process. Town staff and elected officials will attend a number of community events encouraging people to complete the budget survey on-site. The online survey will be available until Oct. 31 at aurora.ca/budget and, as an added bonus, those who participate will be entered to win $250 toward their municipal tax account. The results of the survey will be compiled and presented to council in November. Beyond the survey, the town will reach out to residents via Twitter and Facebook using #aurorabudget. Three videos will also be posted to the town’s YouTube channel to provide more information on how tax dollars are spent and how the budget process works. You are invited to attend any of the budget meetings. A full list of meeting dates can be found at aurora.ca.

Province must protect all workers

Marney Beck

hen you put in hours for an employer, you get paid. It seems like a simple enough concept, and one many of us take as a given, but for an increasing number of vulnerable workers, the reality isn’t necessarily so cut and dry. Take for instance, the case of Newmarket’s Irma Herrera. In 2015, she worked for a company cleaning York Regional Police’s headquarters in Aurora. That firm lost the contract, but a new company was brought in that offered Herrera employment, relied on her heavily and gave her additional hours when she requested overtime. However, Herrera soon noticed that her paycheques remained the same, despite the extra time she’d worked. After discussing the matter with her employer and failing to receive a satisfactory explanation, Herrera took the matter to the Labour Relations Board for review. She says she was fired a week after doing so. Five months later, the labour board’s investigation found Herrera was owed $2,800 in back pay. She has yet to see the money and the employer vows to fight the ruling. McMaster University labour professor Wayne Lewchuk said situations such as that experienced by Herrera are not only becoming more common, but are also likely, among the reasons the province is reviewing its labour standards and rules. A Toronto Star investigation on the subject of workplace violations earlier this year found that workers have filed thousands of successful claims against employers who owe millions of dollars in unpaid wages. And yet, the Ministry of Labour has failed to collect approximately one-third of the total outstanding amount to the detriment of those workers still waiting to be properly compensated. A recent report commissioned by the province concludes, “There is a serious problem with enforcement of the Employment Standards Act provisions”. While noting that the majority of employers comply or try to comply with the ESA, it goes on to say that there are too many people in too many workplaces not receiving their rights. Said report is part of a consultation on employment and labour laws and all Ontarians are invited to provide feedback. The deadline to do so is Oct. 14. The fact these laws are under review is a good start, because employers shouldn’t be able to withhold or delay payment duly owed to workers or use legal chicanery to deny basic rights. Rights are only rights if they’re defended. After all, these are real hours being worked by real people with real lives, who have an expectation of receiving real pay.

HOT TOPICS Provide more subway options Re: You can help bring subway to York, July 7. Finally, we’re gaining visibility for the much-needed expansion of the subway into Richmond Hill. However, this is only going to exacerbate the current overcrowding on Line 1: by the time trains arrive at Finch, they will already be full, if not packed. I’d suggest a better approach would be to extend into Richmond Hill AND loop over to join the Downsview subway extension. That way riders can take the appropriate route to downtown destinations. This would ease congestion at the Line 1 and Line 2 intersection (Line 1? Line 2? are yet more examples of creative thinking in the ivory towers of bureaucracy) and provide options to riders. If the Yonge Street leg of the subway has a problem, riders could use the Spadina/Downsview leg. Back home, the Circle Line on “The Tube” provided just that option, so this is not a new solution, just an old one applied to an existing and growing transportation crisis. Wake up, people! Think long term....

Candidate quota system won’t work Re: What about gender parity on local councils? column by Marney Beck, July 21. I am shocked by this column. To imply there should be gender parity is offensive against the basic principles of democracy. It could even be somewhat treasonous. Why would anyone want to limit smart women to only 50 per cent of the successful candidates? And how would one do it in a local environment where individuals compete? Maybe women are better some years than others, and maybe men are better other elections? But really, it is discriminatory. Anyone who votes on gender, cultural, racial, physical or religious aspects of candidates needs to

learn what our democracy is all about. We need the best people for the job and it is up to the electorate to educate themselves before voting on each candidate. The quota system does not work. It brings in too many incompetent people, and people not really willing to work hard. This has been realized in some companies of the business sector, but through laws or other encouragements they were forced to hire [using quotas]. I believe the next provincial and federal elections if the riding organizations decide or are told to select one gender only — considering we now have many genders via the LBGT gains — and include representation of short or tall people, dark or light people, people of each race, culture, nationality etc, the complexities would be ridiculous. We have entered absurd times and it is time to go back to fundamentals and have everyone buy in, blend in and so forth.

Divided loyalty enjoying Games Like many other Canadians, I spent much of my free time last weekend escaping all the problems in the world around me and watching the Olympics, if for no other reason than to watch our athletes compete against the best in the world. Everything was going fine until I came across a beach volleyball match in which Canada was competing. I am — as are many other Canadians — an immigrant, and normally there’s no question for whom I would cheer, since I am a Canadian citizen by choice. In this case, however, because they were playing the motherland, I found myself bewildered, even if but for a split second. And then I thought of how lucky I am, either way one of my favourites is going to win the match. The fact they are homegrown (from Richmond Hill) just makes it even more special. I watched the match and every once in a while cheered out loud: “Let’s go Canada,” knowing full well in different circumstances

Anthem changes waste Re: And what about ‘patriot’ love?, column by Bernie O’Neill, July 28. I agree with Bernie’s comment about the recent change to our national anthem. To me, this change resembles trying to pick a bone in an egg. It’s insignificant, while wasting taxpayers’ money. “O Canada” was proclaimed Canada’s national anthem in 1980 and it was first sung in 1880. So it is literally a piece of poetry passed along from our ancestors. We would not modify an aged poem to make it gender-neutral. Instead we only preserve and appreciate its classic integrity. By the same token, are we going to apply gender neutrality to the masterpieces of Shakespeare so that the contents would be compatible to our standards nowadays? I hope our prestigious senators or MPs are more focused on enhancing the well being of citizens, than on these unconstructive ideas.

ntil Markham phenomenon Andre De Grasse ran into our TV screens and onto the Olympic podium alongside the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, all the medals won by Canadians were earned by women. Over and over again, sportscasters — usually male — referred with admiration, but some amazement, to the fact that all the medal winners until Sunday night’s marquee 100metre event were female. It made me think of a media campaign, which started in Toronto, New York City and Los Angeles just before the Olympic Games began, to “call out” or shine an unfavourable spotlight on media commentary that judges female athletes on their appearance, rather than on their skills. A Dove #MyBeautyMySay campaign holds the premise that all too often, female athletes are featured in sports magazines and news stories in passive poses, glamourized and sexualized, while male athletes are portrayed in action-oriented ways emphasizing their skills. It further hypothesizes that too often media commentators focus on the looks of female athletes and on appearance rather than achievements. An interactive billboard campaign launched July 26 at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto, along with other key American cities, asking people to “call out” or aim negative Tweets at media outlets or commentators which belittle women athletes. Campaign organizers do credit Canadian media with being far more positive in their views and commentary on women athletes, but said such is not always the case with other media globally. As part of their rationale for the campaign, Dove and Unilever pointed out that eight in 10 (81 per cent) of Canadian women wish the media did a better job of portraying women with diverse physical appearance, and of varying ages, races, shapes and sizes. But then came the Olympic Games in Rio. And onto the world stage burst a group of talented, courageous and skilled athletes — swimmers, such as triple-threat Penny Oleksiak and synchro duo Meaghan Benfeito and Roseline Filion, rowers Lindsay Jennerich and Patricia Obee, our bronze team of women pursuit cyclists, the entire women’s rugby team and — of course — our own golden trampolinist Rosie MacLennan. Who would dare write, or Tweet or Facebook about these medalwinning athletes by focusing only on their appearance, their makeup, or their clothing? Sadly, sometimes media representatives in their articles and more often their readers in social media posts do consider appearance or clothing or other superficial factors. We all know that online commentators, especially, can be cruel and cutting — even vicious. Tessa Virtue, Canadian ice dancing champion, is part of the #MyBeautyMySay campaign. She admits that she’s been the target of mean-spirited comments calling out for her to “be thinner” or “don’t eat” to be the best she can be in a sport that combines artistry with athletic skills. “Let’s face it, all women are judged too often on their looks instead of their accomplishments,” states Virtue. So while it’s hard to imagine that any online discussion about our medal-winning athletes would focus on their physical attributes, their swimsuits, hair or overall looks, if you see any derogatory comments aimed at our women Olympians, you’re invited to call them out at #MyBeautyMySay. — Marney Beck is the managing editor of the Richmond Hill Liberal and the Thornhill Liberal.

New technology pilot program to increase broadband speed, capacity By Teresa Latchford

tlatchford@yrmg.com

Steve Somerville/Metroland

The Town of Aurora is the first municipality in York Region to partner with Bell Canada to pilot the company’s small cell technology that will not only increase the current broadband network’s speed and capacity but could also eliminate the need for additional traditional cellular towers that have concerned residents in the community in the past. Aurora’s town hall is one of 10 pilot locations where the new technology will be installed.

FREE ADMISSION NEW DATES THIS YEAR!

Don’t Miss The Sizzle! AUGUST 26-28, 2016 FRIDAY 11 AM - 11 PM SATURDAY 11 AM - 11 PM SUNDAY 11 AM - 8 PM

Smartphone users may soon notice a boost in service speed in Aurora due to a new pilot project. Aurora is the first municipality in York Region to partner with Bell Canada for a small cell technology pilot project to improve broadband connectivity. The project involves placing small cell antenna systems, about the size of a laptop, on or in buildings and on telephone poles to support the existing service network. “Bell was looking to meet demand in Aurora that is being driven by the increased use of smartphones, more specifically data usage which uses more broadband capacity than voice use,” Aurora’s manager of long range and strategic planning, Anthony Ierullo said. “These receptors have a direct link to fiber (a high-speed network of cables allowing people to access the internet and acquire or send data), meaning they will be able to move data at tremendous speed.” With the demand for data usage expected to double every year and Aurora expecting to add to that demand due to a population increase, this new technology is a step in the right direction, he said. The primary users who will benefit from the pilot will be Bell and Telus clients but there are agreements in place that will allow clients of other service providers to access the network if there is a gap in their own service networks, he added. To start, 10 locations have been selected to test the small cells, also known as micro cells, including town hall, Aurora Public Library, Lambert Willson Park and local recreation centres. The rest will be installed in the cultural district and along the Yonge Street promenade. Installation could begin as early as this fall.

“Part of Bell’s plan is to move away from traditional cell towers that have caused concern in the community in the past,” Ierullo said. Small cells operate with lower transmit power compared to cell towers, meaning lower radio-frequency exposure, well below what Health Canada deems safe. Exposure was the main concern voiced by residents when the town was considering the approval of cell tower installations on Bloomington Road just east of Bayview Avenue last year and south of the Wellington and Bathurst streets intersection in 2013. Another perk of the technology is one cell can be shut down for maintenance without disrupting the entire network. The cells will mean no land will be required for new towers but the town will still have the authority to review and access proposed installation sites. The town will also generate revenue through the agreement as Bell will pay a onetime application fee of $500 to cover the cost of reviewing the proposed installation sites and a fee of $750 per year, per location. “Broadband and wireless connectivity are key drivers for economic development…there are many examples of communities that have experienced major economic benefits from being early adopters of smart technology,” the staff report states. “As York Region considers pursuing a Smart City designation, a project like this can only help better position Aurora as a leader.” York Region’s broadband task force has identified small cell technology as one of the options that would help fulfil the region’s broadband strategy. Being more connected and being able to offer high- speed, highcapacity digital networks would make the region and local municipalities more attractive for businesses, education institutions and aid other sectors like technology and health care.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally C

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement. Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation trial of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

We’ve had more rain than Niagara House altered in 1962 From page A1.

a day just to try and keep the crops irrigated, to keep them so that they’re not dying. Well, they’re protecting their investment but (also) so we can feed people.” Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips called Tuesday’s steady rain that was able to seep into the ground good news. “It’s a slow motion, percolating kind of rain. It’s an all day affair. Not like the two hours we got on Saturday, or a couple of hours, when we got a heavy dose of rain,” he said. At Buttonville, 37 millimetres of rain fell on Saturday. “That’s a good, healthy amount of rain,” Phillips said. “(Tuesday’s rain) is all day across the province and it will take a day to get rid of it. It’s not the rain that just runs off into the sewers

(because it comes down so quickly) but it soaks into the ground and gives the grass a good drink of water.” Even with Tuesday’s rain, the result of a storm system from Texas that left Louisiana with devastating floods, there is a precipitation deficit this summer. Still, York Region has had more rain than other communities such as Niagara farm country, which is experiencing a recordbreaking drought, Phillips said. Between May 1 and Aug. 14, York had 187mm of rain, only two-thirds of the average 276mm that would fall during that time. That is a 90mm rain deficit but it is far less than Toronto’s 130mm deficit during the same period, Phillips said, adding York got 316mm during the same time last year. Where Buttonville got 37mm of rain Saturday, Niagara got 5mm and has only received about 20 per cent of the rain it should have received since early July, Phillips said. York has 28 days with temperatures above 30C, double the 14 it would get on average.

trol centre but not able to withstand a nuclear blast, was located strategically so if a hydrogen bomb was dropped on Toronto, it would be outside the destructive range. Another benefit was the land formation of the Oak Ridges Moraine could help deflect the blast away from its immediate surroundings. Remax bills the house as a once-in-alifetime opportunity on 1.13 acres with a historic bunker. It comes with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Prior to its service as the GTA’s Cold War readiness centre, it was a farmhouse, built around 1870. The all-white home housed Jack Caplan, father-in-law of former MP and MPP Elinor Caplan and grandfather of

former health minister David Caplan, and the Hamilton family, who built its first significant addition. One of that family’s daughters, Heather, would marry into the McKenzie family and it was her husband who would later dam a nearby river, creating the well-known McKenzie Marsh. It was in 1962 the distinctive white home was altered to house what is often referred to as Aurora’s Diefenbunker, referencing the federal shelter in Carp, near Ottawa, designed for 300 top government and military figures, including former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. The home’s doors were kicked in years later after the Toronto Police Service emergency task force moved in and began using the house to stage mock hostage scenarios. Toronto decided to sell the house in the 1990s to save the $18,000 annually it was paying to maintain it.

Stouffville Toyota employees, including Luke Campbell (left) and Jerry Corbett are being credited with saving the life of a baby who was accidentally locked in a hot car.

Stouffville Toyota employees come to rescue of baby By Jeremy Grimaldi

jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

our Stouffville Toyota Scion employees are being lauded for saving a very “hot and sweaty” 14-month-old after his mother accidentally locked him in her car during the second hottest day of the year. It was at the height of heat, in the afternoon – with temperatures reaching 34 C and upwards of 40 with humidity – that Luke Campbell was called, while sitting out in the car lots “drive-thru booth”. “There was a calm voice on the other end with a clear sense of distress in her voice,” he said. “She told me, ‘It’s an emergency’, so I just jumped up.” The story she told caused him to leap into action. A young baby was locked in a car about a 10-minute walk from the

Greg Mangas

Peter Cosmidis

Millard Street location on Mah Wat Lane in Stouffville. “It’s not like I am sitting in an air conditioned office, I’m out in this heat, so I know how hot it is, I was sweating bullets” he said, noting the voice was that of one of his good customers, looking for help for her daughter and grandson.

It only took Campbell, also from Stouffville, moments to find two mechanics, Greg Mangas and Peter Cosmidis, who were taken to the location by Jerry Corbet, the shuttle driver. They travelled over with what turned into the mother’s best friend – a slim jim. It took the men less than one

minute to arrive, much quicker than the police and paramedics, who arrived after the Toyota employees had actually freed the little boy from the car, his mother, crying. “He was really sweaty, he was in there for about 20 minutes,” the grandmother explained, noting she not only had a hammer nearby ready to shatter the glass, but had covered the car with blankets to displace the sunlight and heat. After he was pulled from the car, it took about 40 minutes of rehydration to get the toddler walking and back to normal. Paramedics found the boy’s vitals in good shape after the incident. The boy’s mother had accidentally locked the boy in the car, placing him in his child seat, putting the keys in the diaper bag and then placing it on the floor of the vehicle, possibly engaging the electronic locking mechanism on her key chain.

This is not the first time Campbell has been forced to leap into action. While working in the same job — a collision appraiser at Markham Toyota — he took a call from a customer who was slurring her words and seemingly fading in and out of consciousness during a call at 10:30 a.m.. “I said to myself, ‘If I’m wrong, I’m wrong,’” he added, before explaining how he called 911. Soon after, he said he received a call from the paramedics who showed up who told him he likely saved the life of the woman, a diabetic, who was suffering a medical emergency after failing to take her medication that morning. The grandmother said she and her daughter are “very very thankful” to the staff and have they already sent them cards, gourmet cupcakes and also has plans to buy them more than a few beers.

Magna Hoedown Showdown kicks off at Theatre Aurora By Chris Simon

csimon@yrmg.com

Sometimes, just looking the part wins you much of the battle. For Hamilton resident Chelsea Crites, she certainly carries the appearance of a country music star. First up on stage during the Magna Hoedown Showdown preliminary round at Theatre Aurora last week, Crites seemed to channel legendary singer Dolly Parton, with big, platinum blond curls rolling most of the way down her back, large hooped silver earrings and pink-strapped platform shoes. “It’s a good opportunity,” Crites, a 22-year-old who has been singing since the age of seven, said. “I’ve done quite a few competitions. I’ve been playing various venues for quite a long time and it would be great to take that next step. It’s always a fun time and it’s just great to get out there. If something cool comes out of this, I’m good with that. If not, the experience is awesome as well.” In total, 40 hopefuls participated in the preliminaries, attempting to earn a place in the semifinal round, which runs at Aurora Rib-

fest later this month. The finals take place at the Magna Corral Sept. 16 and the winner performs at the 28th annual Magna Hoedown the next day. “There were a lot of applicants,” judge Joan Walker said. “There will be quite a range of talent, styles, characters and level of experience. We’re looking for the top 20 (for the semis). We had so many more applicants (than last year). I’m expecting the quality to improve. Everyone’s taking this seriously and singers are using this as a platform to launch their career.” Nearly 90 people signed up for Showdown this year. Showdown is an Ontario-wide country music talent competition. The grand prize is valued at more than $20,000 and includes $2,500 in cash, a Yamaha guitar and case, two days of recording at Metalworks Studios and an artist package including professional management, coaching, styling and songwriting with industry professionals. Many of the contestants seemed to understand the magnitude of the preliminaries. The theatre lobby was nearly silent, other

2016

than the tapping of smartphone screens by those auditioning and their family and friends. There were light refreshments available, but many passed on the pastries and coffee and grabbed the bottles of water instead. Inside the theatre, the stage was mostly black with a white Showdown backdrop. The contestants sang about wealth and love and seduction and God and church — what you’d expect in a country music competition. Each wore something that sparkled in the spotlights — necklaces, rings, bracelets, shirt buttons and even the metal tuners on the occasional guitar strapped around a neck. “I’ve been going to the Hoedown for years now,” Orangeville resident Cassandra Jakubek said. “I’m nervous but I’m excited. It takes a lot of practice to get here. I’m trying to get through this and do a good job. I’m just doing it for fun and I’m not banking on a big discover. But that would be great.” Jakubek used to sing, but took time off to raise a family. She was encouraged to audition by her husband.

Newmarket man’s plane stolen, crashed in Peterborough As for the plane’s descent into Peterborough, Rubin said when flying at night it’s very difficult for a pilot to identify which town is which, indicating that one can only really tell by experience, maps or by highways. “It was nighttime, if you’ve ever flown at night at 3-4-5,000 feet, you can see cities (on accounts of the lights),” he said. “It’s either with a map or if he’s seen it before (that he could identify one). But where he was going and what he was trying to do (I don’t know).” Trent Gervais, manager of the Peterborough Airport, who helped with the investigation, said the plane appeared to be attempting to land on the street – clearing hydro lines before finally touching down. He added there were no skid marks visible before the medium on Lansdowne Street. Although unsure exactly what happened, he believes the plane struck a light stand causing the crash. In the hours following the crash, the plane was removed from the scene and taken to a hangar at the airport where investigators will try to determine what occurred. Peterborough Police Insp. Lynne Buehler wouldn’t speculate on what caused the crash. “From our information it appears he was attempting to land the plane,” Buehler said. “It’s too early in the investigation to know circumstances of the crash. Pecks, who has been flying for 35 years and owned the plane for 10 years, said the aircraft was worth between $20,000 and $30,000 and is indeed insured. He added that although it remains sad incident for the individual, he also expressed relief that more people weren’t hurt. “He’s lucky he only killed himself,” he added. As for security at the airport, a portion of the field is surrounded by fencing he said and Rubin indicated a man lives on the field, but would not say whether the man heard the plane taking off. – With files from Lance Anderson, Peterborough This Week

The owner of the plane that crashed in a busy section of Peterborough killing a 21-year-old Markham resident, the man suspected of stealing it, was shocked after police alerted him to the news bright and early this morning. Don Pecks, a father of two, from Newmarket, was at work with Toronto fire when he got the call from York Regional Police at 3:30 a.m. advising him that his plane had gone down in the area of Lansdowne Street West and High Street at 1 a.m. “I said ‘Holy smokes! Really? Are you sure you got the right guy? I’m the only one with a key, there’s no other key’,” he said clutching the single engine key on his key chain and holding it up in the air. “I just can’t believe this happened.” Although Pecks would not speak about the ongoing investigation, he said from his perspective the incident was “totally random.” “I don’t know him from Adam,” he added. Although police are remaining tightlipped about the name of the individual responsible – as they attempt to notify the victim’s next of kin – Pecks said the man would have had to know a certain amount about planes to steal the Piper PA Tomahawk and then fly it about 100 kilometres to Peterborough. “It’s a training airplane, but more difficult to fly than a Cessna,” he said. Allan Rubin, the operator of the airfield, which is owned by one of Canada’s richest families, the Thomson family, echoed Pecks’ statements suggesting he must have been a semi-proficient pilot to break in, turn over the ignition and take off. “Apparently he had to know (something about airplanes), he got into the aircraft,” he said. “The keys were not there, the logs not there. But, if you can take off, you can fly it. He had to have had some kind of experience, obviously.”

Emerald Hills tees up wide array of rounds Emerald Hills Golf Club DIRECTOR OF GOLF: Jamie Al-Jbouri STATUS: Private SIGNATURE HOLE: With three distinct nines on the Stouffville property located on the Oak Ridges Moraine, each boasts its own marquee hole. On the Valley course, the honour goes to the par-3 fifth hole. A downhill play of 166 yards from the blended silverblue tees with a wonderful overview of an elevated green beyond a valley of fescue — and other assorted dastardly stuff. A long, large green sloping severely from back to front holds potential for a putting nightmare. As the top-ranked hole on the Forest, the tree-lined 381-yard (third level silver tees), par-4 third hole couples an accurate and long tee shot with a tough long-iron approach to a well-bunkered green. Parkland offers up No. 3 as its signature hole. A parfour playing to 403 yards, a good straight drive with a hybrid is required to manage a tight fairway. TROUBLE AWAITS: It doesn’t take long for the challenge to begin on the Forest course. In fact, it greets you at the first tee. After a tee shot into a narrow and bending fairway, a long-iron second shot into a firm and fast green can make or break your score on this opening hole, a menacing 339-yard par-4 mood setter. Long and right are both trouble. Come up short and risk rolling off the green. Did we mention the bunkers guarding the front left approach to the green? “It’s a beast of a hole to start your round,” said AlJbouri. “It’s just not a soft, easy opening hole.” CURSE OF THE COURSE: Forest No. 6 is a bit of a vixen and a vexing hole. For longer hitters, this par-4 test invites big hitters to play for the green. However, accuracy and control are a must on this deceptively difficult challenge that plays to

into the rear. THE PRO’S VIEW: “We’re tucked away on the (Oak Ridges) Moraine so you don’t feel like Toronto is right next door,” said Al-Jbouri, now in his third season as director of golf at this ClubLink Platinum level facility. “We’re a bit of an oasis and with a good variety among the 27 holes.” “It’s a fair and very member-friendly course. Among our members there is a lot of mixed handicaps, but they all feel the course is for them.” GENERAL INFO: Opened initially in 1982 as an 18-hole facility by Rene Muylaert. In 2005, Thomas

McBroom was commissioned to design nine additional holes to produce a re-designed 27-hole facility … Emerald Hills was one of four original clubs of ClubLink when the company launched operations in 1993 ... Played host to the 1999 and 2000 Nations Cup, a Ryder Cup-style competition between LPGA players from Canada and the United States.

283 yards from the silver tee deck and just 303 from the rear gold tees. Hitting wide or over the green brings into play fescue and trees. GIMME A LIFE MEMBERSHIP: From the linksy feel of the Valley to the tight, tree-lined fairways of the Forest and more forgiving nature of Parkland, three distinct nine-hole layouts will test whichever game you bring to the tranquil setting of Emerald Hills. Along the way, posted tips from the pro are a nice touch. CLUB-TOSSING TIME: Parkland, No. 6. It’s a long par-4 requiring some touch to bring your drive right to left with a touch of draw/fade. Second shot is going to be 180 to 190 yards in so positioning is crucial. “This is just such a strong hole,” said Al-Jbouri. “You’ll be pulling your hair out if you don’t hit it (drive) just right.” Honorable mention: Tough luck or first-timers lack of course familiarity? Take your pick, but it seemed those bunkers, both at the green and fairways, gobbled up more than their fair share of shots from the panel. PANEL’S PICK: Staying with the Forest, Mr. Wiggedy Whack gushed over No. 2, a par-3 at 154 yards with a pond wrapping around the green from the left and

Tigers’ GM Thomson hopes for massive rebuild on the fly

t didn’t take owner Jim Thomson long to realize his general manager wasn’t up to the job of running the Aurora Tigers. So the incoming Thomson did what any owner would do — fired the GM and handed over the controls to the Ontario Junior Hockey League club to a more experienced individual. Thomson has since replaced his replacement, Thomas Milne, and is preparing to uncage a new version of the Tigers next month. “I’m the only GM in the league to fire himself,” said Thomson, the former NHLer who took ownership of the franchise just weeks prior to the start of the 2015-16 season. “When I bought the hockey team and said I’d stay out of the hockey operations, it was to take a year to educate myself. “There’s lots to learn. I know enough to know you don’t do something if you’re not sure what you’re doing.” Thomson, along with wife Rita, did an admirable job last season, connecting the Tigers to the community. He vows to strengthen that bond. As for on the ice, that’s a challenge that remains up for debate entering this season.

John Cudmore Cuddy Shark When the Tigers open camp Monday, you truly won’t be able to tell the players without a program. Or, at least a sound prehand knowledge of who is supposed to be attending the camp at the Aurora Community Centre. The 40 attendees will gather Monday to vie for spots on a roster that includes just two returning players from the 2015-16 edition of the Tigers who finished second in the North Division, fifth in the North-East Conference and bowed out in the opening round of the playoffs at the hands of the Wellington Dukes. A combination of graduation, promotion, scholarships, trades and other factors leaves the Tigers facing a near total makeover

The Honda Model

‘I’m the only GM in the league to fire himself. When I bought the hockey team and said I’d stay out of the hockey operations, it was to take a year to educate myself.’ “We had to get a new culture,” said Thomson. “We took over the No. 3 team in Canada. We took over a great, living beast from JR (James Richmond).” And didn’t exactly live up to the standard Richmond, now head coach of the Mississauga Steelheads in the OHL, achieved

you feel better someplace else, and I’m all for that. When I took over I told the players I had an open door policy from Day 1. If you want out, come see me. The grass sometimes seems greener elsewhere but our grass is pretty green, too.” Thomson’s goal is to build a team full of character both on and off-ice. He goes as far as to steal a page from Mike Babcock’s school of philosophy. “Everyone has to be an everydayer,” said Thomson. “I promise, we will have 23 players signed and they will be everydayers or they won’t last.” The North-East will be a tough conference with Trenton Golden Hawks and Cobourg Cougars loading up as hosts of the Dudley Hewitt Cup and Royal Bank Cup national championships. The strength of the league figures to come in the East Division. “We’re in tough with those teams,” said Thomson. “It’s like keeping up with the Jonses, but I feel we’ll have the team to keep up. I believe we’ll have a team to reckoned with down the road, and I mean this season.” That’s a tall order for even the most seasoned general manager.

and established by the end of his five-year tenure in Aurora. Nor was it a brand of hockey Thomson desired. To be blunt, the Tigers of last season were soft to Thomson’s way of thinking hockey. He vows fans will see a tougher, meaner Tigers team this season. A team that, as Thomson suggests, will play ‘heavy’ hockey. “I’d like to see us more physical and be a tougher team,” said Thomson. “We have the smallest arena in the league and should use that to our advantage. When you see what hits the ice (Sept. 9) it will be a lot different.” Defenceman James Thomson and forward Matthew Tozer are the lone returnees from last season’s roster. Thomson, however, has been working to fill the gaps left behind by the departures, including team scoring leader Drake Board, who fetched big centre Austin Kozluk in return from the Cobourg Cougars. Still, Thomson seems pleased by what is taking shape. He is not fazed by individuals asking for trades to other teams. “I feel we’ve done a good job to compete in the league this year,” he said. “I understand if

before the puck drops on the season with a home-and-home opening weekend series against the Wellington Dukes starting Sept. 9 and resuming two days later. Every team undergoes some change from season to season but this is a severe case of shuffling, far more than one might have anticipated at the end of last season.

Aurora kayaker Lang swamps Summer Games field By John Cudmore

jcudmore@yrmg.com

For Cameron Lang, the waters at the Welland International Flatwater Centre were brimming with gold. So the Aurora kayaker dipped his paddle and harvested an impressive haul from the Welland, Ont., facility as he won four events, including the K1 (solo) races over 200 and 1,000 metres, Friday at the Ontario Summer Games. The 15-year-old also won gold in the K2 200 and K4 1,000-metre races at the competition which doubled as provincial championships and added bronze in the K2 1,000 metres. A sixth medal, also bronze, came in a mixed war canoe team event. Lang was viewed as a potential medal-

ist entering the Games, which doubled this year as the Ontario provincial championships, despite the fact he was competing in the under-16 age group and a year younger than most of his rivals in the field of 22 competitors. “It’s probably my best career achievement,” said Lang, a past provincial champion at three age levels in his four-year career in kayaking. “These Games were a really awesome experience. I was hoping for this result but it always is surprising when it happens so it is a good result. “The cool part is the Olympics are on now so we’re all glued to the TV watching. To be in our own small version of it is awesome.” Lang, who is preparing to enter Grade 10 at Aurora High School next month, was most

pleased with his performance in the 1,000metre event. “It’s the race with the highest intensity,” said the Richmond Hill Canoe Club member. “It’s not that long but it’s a gruelling race. If there was one race to win that was it so I was extremely happy to win that. “To get to the final 100 metres and know that if I could hold it together I’d win was awesome.”

Lang prefers the individual events where he takes full responsibility for the ultimate result. “It’s what I like to focus on,” he said. “In team boats you are relying on a connection with teammates so many more things can go wrong.” Lang is qualified to compete at national championships in Dartmouth, N.S., starting Aug. 30.

Newmarket Huskies’ Rita Quibell, Mirco Graenert double up on track gold It was double duty for Rita Quibell and Mirco Graenert at the top of the medal podium during the Canadian masters track championships at York University on the weekend. The Newmarket Huskies teammates both captured two gold medals to highlight a haul of 17 medals, including seven golds, by club members at the competition. Competing in the women’s over-60 category, Quibell set a Huskies’ club record Saturday to win the 1,500 metres in five minutes, 36.84 seconds. One day later, Quibell won the 800 metres title in 2:47.9. Graenert capped his twin wins weekend

by capturing the 800 metres in the men’s over-45 category in a time of 2:11.22. He won the 400 Saturday in a clocking of 54.82. Other Huskies to claim titles include Chris Deighan (men’s over-55 5,000), Elaine Mota (women’s over-50, 1,500) and Derek Hackshaw (men’s over-45, 1,500).

Newmarket Junior Hawks advance to association final Jordan Kight raced home with the goahead run on a throwing error in the bottom of the fourth inning as the Newmarket Hawks

edged Oshawa Legionaires 2-1 Monday night in the completion of suspended Toronto Baseball Association junior playoff action at Kinsmen Stadium in Oshawa. Kight, who reached base on a fielder’s choice and stole second base, broke a 1-1 tie when he hustled home after Colin Chappell’s ground ball was misplayed. The game was resumed in the bottom of the first inning with Oshawa holding a 1-0 lead. However, Cody Malone doubled to drive in Darcy Moore whose double led off the inning before the weather delay on Saturday.

The victory leaves Newmarket as the lone unbeaten team in the four-team double-knockout tournament which resumes Wednesday night at Don McKnight Field in Newmarket. The Hawks will face Oshawa, a 10-1 winner over High Park Braves in a second game played Monday night. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Righthander Austin Hassani scattered five hits to claim the pitching win for Newmarket. — by John Cudmore

September 7, 1938 - August 18, 2014 So many things have happened, Since you were called away So many things to share with you, Had you been left to stay. Every day in some small way, Memories of you come our way. Though absent you are ever near, Still missed, loved, always dear. Sadly missed by Jack, Greg, Julie, Mikaila and Grace Daryl, Julie, Sydney and Owen Cheryl, Mike, Matt and Chris

LONG, John In loving memory of John Long who passed away August 22, 2015.

SHEWELL, Stephanie With each summer season come pleasant thoughts of mom putting down her preserves. The kitchen was full of familiar fragrant scents. Mom, our lives are full of sweet dreams of you. We love and miss you everyday, ~Your loving family.
