York Region drownings prompt water safety caution LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com With the drowning deaths of two young people in York Region in two weeks, the Canadian Red Cross is raising concerns about water safety. "To have two in a row is horrendous," master instructor trainer David Ferguson said. "It’s terrible. And all the families are affected and all the friends are affected. It’s heartwrenching." On June 17, a four-year-old girl called 911 after her 20-year-old babysitter, a non-swimmer, had accidentally gone into the deep end of a backyard pool in Newmarket. The young woman died June 23. A 19-year-old man from Toronto was confirmed dead July 2 after

he was pulled from Lake Simcoe at Sibbald Point Provincial Park on July 1. A second man who tried to rescue him was revived. Drowning is usually the second most frequent type of accidental death in Canada, behind motor vehicle collisions, Ferguson said. A Red Cross study released in June 2016 showed 3,696 people drowned in Ontario from 1991 to 2013. Ontario made up 31 per cent of 11,903 drowning deaths in Canada during that time. Drowning can happen quickly and victims often don’t exhibit signs that onlookers expect, Ferguson said. Drowning usually doesn’t look like it does in the movies or on TV, l See SOME, page 2

COMMUNITY

Aurora Bridge Club may have to move to Newmarket TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com Aurora’s bridge club could be forced to relocate to Newmarket. The bridge club was established more than four decades ago and continues to grow its membership. The club has close to 1,000 players who have played at their tables and 250 official members. Over 90 per cent of the membership is over 60 years of age and 60 per cent is from Aurora. Currently, the club calls Aurora’s old library home, but the town has made the decision to demolish the building in the near fu-

ture, leaving the club searching for new accommodations that will not only be able to hold a large number of playing tables but also fulfil specific needs of the membership. "We provide an outing for seniors to socialize and an opportunity to learn something new," Aurora Bridge Club’s Olly Smolak said to town council. "We cannot operate with the town’s support and we want to work with the town to ensure the club can continue." Coun. Harold Kim thanked him for the service the club provides and for keeping the "rowdy

seniors" away from the mall and loitering at town hall. Mayor Geoff Dawe pointed out the minutes of the club’s meeting in 2015 acknowledged the threat to its tenancy and asked what efforts the club has made in finding a new space. "We have looked at other accommodations but can’t seem to find the right fit for the right rent," Smolak replied. While the lease agreement and low rent at the current building allows the club to provide members affordable fees to play, simil See CLUB’S, page 2

’Some people are gone in a flash’ l Continued from page 1

with people flailing and yelling for help, said Ferguson, who recalled his father rescuing his four-year-old brother from drowning in a pond near Uxbridge. "The most common drownings are people who slip under the surface and they’re gone," he said. "Some people are gone in a flash." While someone in distress may thrash and make noises, someone panicking won’t talk or scream because they are trying to breathe, Ferguson said. Often, the most telltale sign that someone is drowning is wide, frightened eyes, he said. Someone panicking won’t think clearly, especially if they are a non-swimmer or weak swimmer. They may be in shallow water, but not consider putting their feet down, Ferguson said. All the rain we have had in recent weeks can make even familiar swim holes in lakes and rivers more treacherous, even for strong swimmers, he said.

WHAT’S ON

Drowning is usually the second most frequent type of accidental death in Canada, behind motor vehicle collisions.

PUBLIC NOTICES

JOB OPPORTUNITIES

Ferguson offered tips to avoid drowning or to rescue someone who is drowning: • Take swimming lessons. • Know the body of water in which you are swimming. Where is the shallow end of the pool, are there rocks or sink holes in the lake or is there an undercurrent in the river? • If you get caught in an undercurrent, don’t try to swim directly against it. Instead, swim with it at a 45-degree angle towards shore. • Swim with a buddy and stay in safe areas. Consider swimming where there is a lifeguard. • Use lifejackets on children or people who don’t swim. Everyone on a boat should wear a lifejacket. • If someone is in distress or drowning, don’t get too close because they could pull you under. Instead, use an object such a towel, swimming noodle or paddle to tow them to safety. Or throw objects that float to them. Yell instructions such as "use your legs" and "breathe" to the victim. Alert people on shore there is trouble.

Club’s building set for demolition l Continued from page 1

lar-sized buildings in town are asking for $6,000 in rent, which the club couldn’t afford. On a Friday afternoon, the busiest time of the week, the club has about 20 tables of players. The new space needs to be about 2,000 square feet, be fully-accessible, and have a kitchenette. The club has looked at some town-owned facilities, private spaces, and even churches but have had no luck. "If we have to go to Newmarket, I think it might greatly impact our membership numbers," he said. The town has actively been attempting to help the club find a new home, a final solution has yet to be found.

Province boosts funding for York child care system York Region is getting a piece of the pie when it comes to provincial child-care funding. The region has just announced it will be receiving an additional $12.6 million this year to maintain and enhance the early learning and child-care system for local families and children. The funding is being doled out to help municipalities improve early years children’s services, aimed at those zero to four years of age, over the next years. "Among our growing population in York Region are an in-

child care system. Those funds have gone to increase support for children with special needs, improved the quality of early learning program and supported wage enhancements for educators. Recently, the region has increased the number of children with special needs supported in licensed child care, provided funding to 441 licensed child care sites to purchase toys and equipment and distributed more than $17 million in wage enhancements to 482 licensed child care centres in 2016.

more services for children with special needs, including funding and supports to licensed child care operators serving children with special needs. "This new funding in 2017 has the potential to support 1,370 additional children in York Region," Newmarket regional councillor and community and health services chair John Taylor said. "The support these families receive will allow them to seek better employment, housing and food leading to healthier lives for themselves and their children." Since 2013, the region has received $31 million in new provincial funding earmarked for the

creasing number of young families with child care and early intervention needs," York Region chair and CEO Wayne Emmerson said. "Increased funding for children’s services will support the physical facilities, plus the staff and families all working together to provide high quality of care for our youngest citizens." In York Region, the additional funds will be used to help low-income families access licensed child care, cut wait times for new families applying for fee assistance, assist with the cost of repairs and maintenance at licensed child care centres, provide wage enhancements and provide

Public input wanted on hiring of new YRDSB education director The trustees are responsible for hiring and monitoring the performance of the education director, whose main role is to oversee the day-to-day operations of the YRDSB. The education director position became vacant when a scathing report from ministry appointed reviewers on the conduct of then education director J. Philip Parappally prompted trustees to call for his resignation. In April, the board announced his dismissal. Those wishing to provide feedback or ask questions about the two draft policies at yrdsb.ca can direct them to policy.committee@yrdsb.ca.

Hearing aids are your way back into the conversation. Many people have trouble catching what’s being said in a conversation. Missing words can be frustrating and some people decide it’s easier not being part of a conversation at all. Withdrawing is a way of coping with not hearing well. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Hearing aids can help those with hearing loss get back into the conversation so that they can be fully engaged and social again. The ability to accurately understand spoken words is called “speech comprehension.” It’s a complex process involving several areas in the brain – and most importantly – our hearing. As we age and our hearing changes, it becomes not only harder to hear speech, it also takes more effort to understand what’s being said.

Ombudsman’s recommendations require response The last place in the world you ever want to see a loved one is in the hospital. Nobody likes being there, but we’re ever so grateful we have use of them. We all would hope a hospital stay would be short, that what ails you would be fixed, that you would be on the mend and on your way with nothing but positive thoughts about your care. But that’s not always the outcome. Some patients leave hospital with less than stellar reviews of the care they received. That’s why the patient ombudsman role was created by the provincial government in Dec. 2015. Christine Elliott earned the job so she would act as a bridge, connecting and working with patients, caregivers and health-sector organizations to improve care and the patient experience. It would also help bring the patient voice to the attention of public policy and decision-makers. To say Elliott is busy would be an understatement. To date, her office has received nearly 1,500 complaints from various geographic locations and across each of the different health sectors. Elliott said her staff strives to respond to each and every complaint. "By the time people come to our office, they’re pretty angry. "They’re frustrated; they feel as if nobody’s been listening to them, that they haven’t had an opportunity to tell their true story and they want to connect with someone who can help process their complaint." One of the biggest complaints Elliott’s come across is the inability to discharge patients into long-term care because there aren’t enough spaces. As the population ages, this problem will only become worse unless more long-term care homes come on stream. As part of Elliott’s mandate, it’s within her purview to investigate a health-sector organization and make recommendations. Elliott’s first report to the minister of health and long-term care will be released in September. We hope the provincial government takes Elliott’s recommendations seriously and acts upon them. Elliott was put into this critical role because she’s shown herself to be a tireless advocate for people. Given the number of complaints her office has dealt with so far, she’s been kept very busy. It will be in the province’s best interest that Elliott not remain this busy. The government has a duty to act on her recommendations, whatever they may be, and to fix what’s wrong. It will be interesting to hear what Elliott has to say in September, but also how the province responds to what she says.

Like moving under a flight path and asking airplanes to detour. Ridiculous. Sara A. DaRosa Consideration should be given to all affected parties. The ministry knew that Markham was working on a cessation of the train horns. There was a schedule that has been implemented for years and now there is a planned change. So residents should just except whatever schedule is selected? There are several other cities where the horn is not permitted. Residents have a right to a limit on noise pollution and quality of life. Rose Marie

The need for active aging

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Everyone deserves to be treated with respect Re: EDITORIAL: No place for intolerance in our society, June 22. It is a pity that column after column in various newspapers are devoted to appease Canadians and remind them that racial intolerance on this soil is and should not be raising its ugly head. The Canada that I migrated to some two decades ago has evolved dramatically. Although freedom of worship, adhering to roots, culture, language, heritage are all enshrined in the Charter of Rights, a minority of Canadians go completely against these norms and choose to tarnish the hitherto excellent multiracial/multicultural image of Canada. I submit that no one, but no one, except the people of the First Nations, can claim a stake of proprietorship of this beautiful land. Each of us has migrated from north or south or east or west. Thus it is imperative and highly obligatory for each of us to remind ourselves that we have to exist with each other and share and respect each others’ ethnic values, culture, language, heritage and show devotion and tolerance. No one should expect the other to completely forego their roots and heritage and expect total integration as then it would defeat the whole idea of a multicultural/multi-faith society. The Canadian government has a policy in place for migrants to maintain their religion, heritage, culture, language etc. So, as we celebrate the 150th Canada Day, let us come together in the spirit of reconciliation, fellowship, and above all treat one another as human beings not forgetting to respect people of all colours, creed and ethnicity.

Forcing drivers to slow down improves safety I recently heard through one of my neighbours that when she contacted our ward councillor, Dave Kerwin, about the need for a traffic calming zone on our street, she received innumerable excuses for why that wasn’t possible. Yet all over Newmarket, never-ending construction on major roads (Leslie, Mulock, Davis, Yonge) has diverted people onto residential streets. But when the construction is over, many people don’t go back to using their normal routes and continue to zip down their newly discovered shortcuts. Unfortunately, they tend to do so at times when kids

are getting on or off the school bus and playing outside. Sure, kids should look both ways, but that’s a weak defence against the 60-ina-40, rolling-stop texters I see every day. Dave Kerwin’s claim that speed humps slow down an emergency response may hold some water, but it’s also true that forcing drivers to slow down should reduce accidents on a traffic-calmed street.

Re: Wage increase could mean job losses, higher consumer costs: chamber, May 31. The recent announcement by the Wynne government that the minimum wage will be raised to $15 dollars per hour in Ontario demonstrates the Ontario Liberals are more interested in buying votes than in creating effective public policy. The Ontario Liberals are trailing in the polls and the

premier has an absolutely dismal approval rating of just 12 per cent. Given this, it should come as no surprise that the Ontario Liberals would push forward with a $15 minimum wage in an attempt to sway voters into their camp. In March 2016 the Fraser Institute put out a report on the effects of raising the minimum wage in Canada. It examined research done in Canada and the United States and concludes that not only does an increase to the minimum wage not boost the wages of poorer workers, but the findings also indicate a boost in the minimum wage by 10 per cent would cut employment for young workers (age 1524) by 3 to 6 per cent. An examination of the demographics in the wage study in Canada conclude 87.5 per cent of minimum wage earners live in households that were above the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO), which is used as a measure for relative poverty. Furthermore, the study indicates that 83.4 per cent of workers who fall below LICO earn more than minimum wage. The wage demographics for Ontario are telling: 60.3 per cent of minimum wage earners are between the ages of 15-24; 59.8 per cent are either a son, daughter, or relative living with family, and 19 per cent were living with a spouse who was employed. The study found that only 2.1 per cent of Ontarians earning minimum wage had at least one child under the age of 18 and were the sole family breadwinner. The Ontario Liberals know this. A report by the Ontario Minimum Wage Advisory Panel in 2014 stated that the benefactors of an increase to the minimum wage are not low-income earners who are trying support their families, but young people who are working their first jobs, who live at home with their families. The proposed wage hike could negatively impact low skilled workers who are looking to gain experience at the low end of the job market. Possible consequences of a forced minimum wage hike include loss of employment, reduction of hours and benefits, or the replacement of human labour by artificial intelligence. Someone is going to pay for the increased costs of a wage hike, and it is going to be the consumer. The majority of workers who fall below LICO make more than minimum wage, which means they won’t necessarily be seeing an increase to their pay, but will see an increase to the goods and services they purchase, a regressive tax on the working poor.

Free speech not a licence to spread falsehoods Papers published by YRMG should apply journalistic standards to some letters to the editor, especially in this age of "alternate facts." This is especially true when the issue is based in fact, not opinion. For example, you have published three letters recently denying the reality of climate change; they are full of misinformation. Among other problems, they cite Michael Crichton, a science fiction writer and well-paid climate denier; repeat the false claim that there has been no warming since 1998; and relate personal anecdotes as if they counter the climate science dismissed as "assumptions." These "alternate facts" have no place in a newspaper, yet you print "guest editorials" by the likes of Brian Lee Crowley and Gwyn Morgan, both of whom deny climate change and have strong ties to the gas and oil industry, and you print letters like those mentioned above. Free speech is not a licence to say just anything; it comes with the responsibility to refrain from harmful speech. Spreading falsehoods to delay action on the dangerous climate changes we are seeing is irresponsible and harmful. We need all hands on deck for this, and our newspapers must provide accurate, honest information. David Kempton Newmarket

An important ’theme’ is arising in the world of healthy physical activity. It is clear that our children are a priority when it comes to healthy habits in and out of schools. Parents and schools are responsible for helping kids adopt healthy lifestyles, whether this is by ensuring 60 minutes of play per day, limiting screen time to two hours per day or monitoring their sugar intakes to reduce it to five per cent of total calories. But an important new theme is a compelling interest in adults and older adults (those 45 years and over) and what their needs are with respect to similar lifestyle indicators. In Aurora, our 2016 census showed that over 27,000 residents are 45 years of age or over, which represents about half of our total population. The Activate Aurora Evolution of Aging project is taking aim at the needs of this growing demographic force, because building an active community clearly goes beyond kids and schools. Our Older Adults Network includes 12 to 20 leaders of programs offered in Aurora for adults. Their focus is to identify gaps in service levels so adults are not left behind in the development of healthy, active lifestyles. The objective is to fill these gaps with meaningful programs. Surveys have been conducted and to get a better picture of adult needs. Who is helping? Our Aurora Seniors Association is integrally involved as are local seniors residences. CHATS and home care providers are helping as is the municipality through the parks, recreation and culture department. Of course, Southlake Regional Health Centre and health practitioners are at the table. Some interesting information has been uncovered regarding incidence of obesity and diabetes in the adult population, levels of activity and available programs. Aurora’s adult population is consistent with the baby-boomer influence elsewhere. Plainly put, Aurora’s adult population is growing, their health concerns are growing with them and programs for them are needed to help them get or stay active. Therefore, our almost singular focus on the sport and recreation needs of children and youth seems about to change. We also have learned that each adult has a unique activity trajectory; that is, every person can trace their physical activity pattern as they age. Marriage and kids, a job change, an illness or injury or financial circumstances cause lifestyle changes that can pull an adult off their healthy trajectories. For some reason some don’t reengage. A re-engagement strategy is vital to them returning to their normally active lifestyles.Adults need opportunities to become better movers, participate more often and become durable people.

Policy changes will give communities a stronger voice TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com Changes to land use policies are giving municipalities more authority when it comes to protecting the environment and building livable communities. Municipal affairs minister Bill Mauro stood in front of the first purposebuilt rental apartment building in York Region in 20 years located at 212 Davis Dr. to provide details on the proposed Ontario Municipal Board reforms and updates to four land use plans

that will help manage the growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. "The government is proud to support York Region’s award-winning work toward complete communities," Mauro said. "The updated growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and our proposed reforms to the land use planning appeal system would further help the region to realize the types of communities where people can live, work and play and where a range of housing options for all household

sizes and incomes are available." Updates to the province’s growth, Greenbelt, Oak Ridges Moraine conservation and Niagra Escarpment plans will assist municipalities in creating communities offering more options for living, working, learning, shopping and playing, improve access to a greater range of transportation options to reduce gridlock, more housing options, revitalize downtowns, guide and prioritize infrastructure planning and investments, curb ur-

ban sprawl while protecting farmland and green spaces, support climate change mitigation and promote long-term economic growth, according to Mauro. The proposed change in the province’s land use planning appeal system would, if approved, replace the Ontario Municipal Board with a local planning appeal tribunal as early as the spring of 2018. The OMB heard 1,460 matters from across the province in 2016. The tribunal would be an indepen-

dent tribunal that makes decisions at arms’ length from the government. The purpose is to give communities a stronger voice in deciding how its town is developed and to create a one-window approach to provide free information and support to citizens who want to participate in the process. Consultation feedback from communities and experts made it clear an appeal system that gave residents and municipalities a stronger voice, was more fair and transparent was

wanted. "One size doesn’t fit all," he added. "This will allow municipalities the flexibility to act under local circumstances." Intensity is the best friend to affordability when it comes to housing, according to Newmarket regional Coun. John Taylor. With the average home being worth $1.1 million in the region, density is a way to address affordability. "Municipalities can be trusted with this authority," he said.

aybe golf isn’t so dead after all. The perception that the sport is in decline as a participatory activity is stoked every time a facility is sold and changes hands. In York Region, that seems to be a notion for public consumption when the tally of facilities that have changed hands in recent years is compiled. Whether it is a sale to housing developers seeking to turn green space into living space or a purchase by genuinely golf-oriented interest, eyebrows raise. You can hardly blame golfers for being a little bit nervous. There are, however, signs the golf industry is not in complete distress. Hey, if golf was sinking, wouldn’t people be fleeing the industry as quickly as possible? Instead, there are operators who have no intention of leaving the business. They are firmly entrenched. After 24 years of working for the founding Frost family at Spring Lakes Golf Club, Bob Lean purchased the 54-hole facility in 2016. He bought the 400-acre facility for around $20 million, a figure not far off the purchase price of the Cardinal Golf Club complex in Kettleby a couple of years ago. "So many golf courses are closing, but 20 years ago people were building always knowing they could turn around and sell the land to a developer," said Lean. "I wanted to watch this place grow. The advice I got was if we can get a few more members, we could be very profitable. "We picked up 400 members to go with the existing 1,000 and that makes it profitable." It doesn’t sound like Lean is too concerned about a shrinking industry, does it? "It seems like golf is going through an awkward stage in life," said Lean. "They’ve been playing golf in for 500 years in Scotland so it isn’t going anywhere. "Golf grew too fast and

got too big for its britches and has to level itself out. There’s too many courses and maybe the right thing is for a few to close. It will iron itself out." Golf has worldwide appeal. It need not be expensive and, given a reasonable price point and, ensuring tee times are always available (no pre-bookings), Lean anticipates he could reach 50,000 rounds this season if the weather co-operates. Last season, approximately 40,000 rounds went through Spring Lakes. Vandorf’s Westview Golf Club has been in the Nisbet family since its inception. The 27-hole facility celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2018. Clearly, the facility has seen a few things

in its lifetime. "Any business goes through ups and downs and I think we’re pulling out of the trough we were in especially in the 2000’s," said general manager Colin Nisbet. "You see growth in different areas. We’re seeing it in nine-hole league play. People may not be interested in playing as many holes but they still want to play. Maybe its nine holes and a barbecue, more social. "We still feel ourselves to be a community course," said Nisbet. "We have our core customers and faces we see time and again." Nationally, golf has a $14.3-billion economic impact with more than 300,000 jobs related directly and in-

directly to the industry, according to figures obtained from Golf Canada. Golf Canada director for corporate communications Dan Pino believes the golf industry needs to tweak its focus and work in tandem. "Golf as a business has to get away from looking at other courses as competitors," said Pino. "It is other activities that are competing. It’s important for courses to work together to present golf as a sport of choice." Fifty one courses have closed in Canada since 2015. However, at least 25 or 26 new facilities are in development and consideration stages, he said. In recent years, facilities have been purchased by de-

velopers or developed partnerships with developers. Among them, Kleinburg Golf Club, Aurora’s Highland Gate Golf Club, York Downs Golf Club in Markham and Glenway Golf Club in Newmarket. For others, including Bradford Highlands and Copper Creek rumours constantly swirl regarding their futures. The reality is golf course lands are worth more as real estate holdings and developments than for knocking a ball about for 18 holes. Yet, as golf courses close, it’s not shutting down golfers. They merely pack up their clubs and play elsewhere. "There’s a lot of pressure on courses when somebody

waves a fistful of money," said Nisbet. Pino concurs. "You could have full tee sheets for 250 days of the year and still make more money plowing and paving over the land," said Pino. "Canada is blessed with golf capacity. It probably got overbuilt so the industry can weather golf courses. People are always thinking golf is dying but it’s built to weather (closures)." Of 800 facilities in Ontario, there have been 19 closures since 2015. Look at it another way if municipalities closed arenas or soccer pitches, it would be construed as a clear signal that registration numbers were declining. That isn’t necessarily case for the golf industry. "If three or four courses are closing the perception is golf is dying," said Pino. "But a lot of sports would love to have our problems. I don’t think we’re struggling for golf courses. It’s just that 20 years ago building a golf course was a cool way to run a business. "Golf courses seldom close because they can’t make money," said Pino. "It’s just that you make more if you could grow houses." Golf by the numbers • Sixty million rounds of golf are played annually by 5.7 million Canadians. • Across Canada, 37,000 annual events and raise $533 million a year for charities. • Across Canada, there are approximately 2,300 facilities. Of those, 36 per cent are nine holes. Ninety per cent are daily fee accessible. • Ontario has 800 facilities making it the highest number in the country. There have been 19 closures since 2015. • The 2,298 golf facilities in Canada represent seven per cent of the world’s supply. • Direct revenues generated by golf facilities are $5 billion annually. All other participation sports and recreational activities, $4.8 billion. – Statistics from Golf Canada

Binstock, Nusbaum set for Maccabiah Games JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com Aaron Nusbaum and Josh Binstock intend to make the most of their time at the beach. The tandem is slated to compete in the men’s beach volleyball at the Maccabiah Games from July 9 to 14.

CECA circuit tournament in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, on June 25, the team figures to be among the favourites to claim a medal. The 24-year-old Nusbaum, who grew up in Aurora, persuaded the two-time Olympian from Richmond Hill to come out of retirement for the events. Not a bad move. It’s a temporary arrangement but one to which both men are keen to experience. "We’ve been good buddies for a while and I’ve been picking his brain," said Nusbaum. "It just finally came to fruition to go to Israel. "Hopefully it is good competition but we have no idea who will be there. We’re kinda flying blind." Following the Rio Olympics in 2016, the now 36-year-old Binstock retired from elite international competition. He agreed to play alongside Nusbaum who is preparing for the world championships later this summer in Vienna with his regular partner, Ryan Van-

denburg. "I still want to do some kind of competition and keep the juices flowing," said the 36-yearold Binstock, a chiropractor. "As glamorous as it sounds, I didn’t want to travel the world any more." "I’ve always been fond of (Aaron) as a person and a player. It was a good opportunity and organically just happened. "Any chance I get to go to Israel I take, plus it’s a chance to help teach younger guys. We play totally different styles so he can take the best from both of us." The tandem showed well in Ocho Rios, their only tuneup before travelling July 3 to Israel. The bronze medal is a positive sign. "I wouldn’t say it was necessarily about confidence but more game-play experience," said Nusbaum. Nusbaum is still feeling the effects from shoulder surgery last May that forced him to miss the 2016 season.

"It’s not 100 per cent yet, maybe 90 per cent to where it was," said the Queen’s University graduate. "But I think there is a brighter future ahead." Binstock and Nusbaum played on Canada’s entry for indoor volleyball at the 2013 Games but beach play as a unit will be new. "It’s a different kind of feel playing with Josh," said Nusbaum. "He carries an aura which is awesome. All the learning I’m getting from him is great. It’s only going to make me better moving forward." At six-foot-10, the left-handed Vanderburg is a power type player. It’s a style that contrasts with the style of the six-foot-five Binstock but Nusbaum is eager to lap up what he can from the experience. "He does every aspect really well," said Nusbaum, of his temporary partner. "It’s his vision to push the ball where it needs to go and his passing. The way you earn points with different guys differs."

Free agency sends Elliott to Philadelphia Flyers It was not the first free agent rodeo for Brian Elliott. Yet the Newmarketraised goaltender found himself in a situation like he had never quite experienced when Canada Day touched off a game of musical chairs throughout the National Hockey League. By the time folks were shooting off fireworks, the 32-year-old Elliott landed with the Philadelphia Flyers, a two-year contract worth more than $5-million in hand. Elliott was dealt from the St. Louis Blues to Calgary last off-season, break-

JOHN CUDMORE Cuddy Shark ing up a solid tandem with Jake Allen. The reviews in Calgary were mixed as he partnered with Chad Johnson. With both goalies set to become free agents, the Flames moved in a new direction via the trade route.

"It was kind of stressful and definitely so when I knew Calgary was not an option," said Elliott, in a telephone interview from Stevens Point, Wisconsin, where he prepared to celebrate July 4 festivities with his wife’s family. "We were still talking with Calgary when they traded for Mike Smith. But I knew spots were opening up. When the talking period comes about, you find out what teams are thinking and what their plans are for you." Unlike his first free agency experience in which the bell sounded and

the offers flew around, the process this year included a week-long negotiating window after the June 23, 24 draft in Chicago. "It’s kind of like a sales meeting and both sides are trying to sell themselves," said Elliott. "It was a little stressful that way, because once you have an idea where you are going to sign, there’s nothing you can say. It’s an interesting process, but I wouldn’t want to go through it every year. "When I went from Colorado to St. Louis, we didn’t have that talking period so it was a really quick decision. I picked St. Louis and it was the best thing for me. It was different this year and more enjoyable." Last season in Calgary got off to a rough start for Elliott. A new team and city. New coaches meant a change in the team’s systems. The birth of a son days before the start of the season contributed to an already stressful situation. "There were a lot of issues at work and so much to get used to," said Elliott, whose 11-game win streak starting in mid-January matched the franchise record held by Mike Vernon and played a large role in the Flames securing a playoff berth early. "In the first

"I learned a lot in going to a new team and want to hit the ground running in Philadelphia. I am going to watch a lot of video to get a feel for how they do things. The little things you expect to happen naturally, but it takes time." The Philadelphia media has already picked up on the potential for a platoon situation along with returnee Michal Neuvirth. "I don’t know what exactly that means," said Elliott, who was inducted last week into the University of Wisconsin athletic hall of fame. "I feel I could start a lot of games. My goal is to

start as many games as possible. I feel if you win, you play. "I’ve always loved playing in that barn and have had some of the best heckles there. Hopefully I’ll be on the other end of them now. "At this point, I feel I’m in my prime right now. If I can have a couple of good years, maybe I can force them into re-signing me early. I’d like to play until they pry my skates away from me." Elliott was not the lone York Region resident on the move in recent days. Among the others was defenceman Ryan Murphy of Aurora, who was traded from the Carolina Hurricanes to Calgary. A firstround pick of the Hurricanes in 2011, Murphy will be looking to kickstart his career after four full seasons and part of a fifth spent bouncing between Carolina and the minors. Canada Day brought new addresses to Mike Cammalleri, who returns to the Los Angeles Kings, Michael Del Zotto of Stouffville, now a member of the Vancouver Canucks and Thornhill’s Dominic Moore, who shifted from the Boston Bruins for a second go with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Born in Toronto in 1929, Bill's journey was about family, adventure, travel and passion for an active life. After a successful and dedicated 39-year career at Bell Canada he spent 27 glorious years in retirement wintering in Florida and summering in Canada. He enjoyed sailing on his Hunter in the Gulf of Mexico, golďŹ ng and having fun with family and many friends. In his lifetime he gave service to the Town of Aurora as a member of Council and Deputy Reeve, he was an active member of the Freemasonry, served as President of the South Lake Simcoe Area Scouts and in the years raising his family he was an active member of the Trinity Anglican Church Aurora. Bill believed in the power of charitable giving and kind gestures and was known for his willingness to always help anyone in need. Bill was a life-long learner and had a passion for Canadian politics to advocate for positive social change. His love of the Canadian landscape culminated in a lifetime of travel across the country and enjoying the pristine outdoors when camping, canoeing, cross country skiing, boating or snowmobiling. His greatest strength was his love for his family and his dedication to their love and support for one another that are his legacy.
