Transplant gives local woman new lease on life
A
BY TERESA LATCHFORD

rlene Lindsay’s biggest fear was that she wouldn’t be around to see her children grow up. The former Aurora and current Newmarket resident was 18 when she experienced extreme fatigue and was lethargic. Then 10 years later, the same symptoms mysteriously reappeared. It wasn’t until she was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis, a disease that caused her body to attack her liver, that it all made sense. “By this time I had two children,” she said. “I was so bad I was in the hospital 24/7. My eyes and skin were yellow, it was horrible.” She was told she needed a liver transplant or her body would simply give up. It has been 23 years since Lindsay’s life was saved by the generosity of an organ donor. “I’ve seen my children grow up, get married and now I’m playing with my grandchildren,” she said as she was overcome with emotion. “I am grateful every single day for the gift I received.” New data released by the Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) shows that Ontario hospitals are working to give more people like Lindsay the opportunity to receive the gift of life. The latest report shows hospitals are improving when it comes to notifying the network of potential organ or tissue donors. The improvement is measured in two

rates: routine notification and conversion. From April 2015 to March 2016, 38 of 68 Ontario hospitals maintained or improved their routine notification rates, a practice that ensures families are given the opportunity to make a life-saving choice when a donation is possible. Three, Georgian Bay General Hospital, Pembroke Regional Hospital and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, were able to maintain a perfect routine notification rate. The average provincial rate is 94 per cent. “All of the York Region hospitals have beaten that average,” president and CEO of TGLN Ronnie Gavsie said. “We only began reporting these numbers two years ago but we know when we put a spotlight on something people pay attention.” Newmarket-based Southlake Regional Health Centre achieved a 98-per-cent notification rate, up 2 per cent from last year. Mackenzie Health in Richmond Hill improved by 3 per cent with a 95-per-cent notification rate and Markham Stouffville Hospital maintained its 96-per-cent notification rate from last year.

Drought good for beer drinking but not farmers: weather expert BY LISA QUEEN
W
lqueen@yrmg.com
hen farmer Jim Hulshof isn’t checking two weather apps on his phone, he is gazing up at the sky wondering when
rain will come. The Stouffville farmer believes this in one of the three driest summers he’s seen since he first began helping farm the crops as a child 50 years ago. “It’s a trying year more than anything else, just because of lack of water. Very horrible. Dry, dry, dry, dry,” he said, adding there has probably been a quarter of the normal rainfall since early May. Hulshof’s distress over the dry sum-
mer comes as David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada, says York Region and southern Ontario are experiencing a severe drought and as the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority asks residents and businesses to scale back their water consumption. Hulshof irrigates 40 acres of his 50-acre farm – on which he grows vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, sweet corn, pumpkins and squash. Even so, all the crops are suffering from heat stress. For those farmers who don’t use irriSee page A4.

etting a perfect grade isn’t something you stumble into, according to one York Region scholar. Newmarket High School’s Jeff Niu is one of six York Region students who are graduating with a 100-per-cent grade average calculated from their six best Grade 12 course marks.
But those wanting to achieve the same had better have that goal going into Grade 9, according to Niu. “Getting 100 per cent isn’t something you can pull off overnight,” Niu said. “I wouldn’t have much advice to offer a student entering their final year who asks how to get the perfect mark.” The scholar’s first word of advice is to take courses you have an interest in, because perfection
is more attainable if you’re studying a subject you are interested in. Second, do your homework because the only way to get better and faster at homework is to practice. Finally, surround yourself with like-minded people who will motivate you to challenge yourself and make learning fun. In the fall, Niu will head to See page A9.
ith more than 12,000 people on York Region’s waiting list for subsidized housing, an additional $23 million in funding from the provincial and federal governments announced Wednesday is welcome news, but not enough to solve the region’s affordable housing challenges, regional chair Wayne Emmerson said. “Mr. Minister (new Housing Minister Chris Ballard), we’re going to be asking for more. We’re shovelready and shovel-worthy to go forward,” he said at the announcement at Tom Taylor Place in Newmarket. “It’s a good start. We can’t do everything…. We will do what we can with it.”

The region also wants to review its waiting list to determine the need of everyone on it, he added. The region will now determine how best to use the additional funding, community and health services commissioner Adelina Urbanski said. Some money will be going to upcoming subsidized housing projects in Vaughan and Markham. A 160-unit building will be constructed on Woodbridge Avenue east of Kipling Avenue in Woodbridge, while a 250-unit building will be constructed on Hwy. 7 west of Main Street in Unionville. Regional staff will analyze where other funds will be allocated, Urbanski said.

gation systems, Hulshof believes they will be looking at a fraction of the yield they normally get unless the drought ends soon. Even when it has rained a handful of times since the beginning of May, it has often arrived as torrential showers, which has made it difficult for arid land to absorb the water, Hulshof said. Friday night’s storm led to severe flooding in the Holland Marsh. On the positive side, the lack of humidity this season has meant less disease and fewer insects attacking crops, Hulshof said. Phil Smalley, who owns a 1,400acre farm in Mount Albert that produces potatoes, soybeans, corn and wheat, said the dry weather is definitely hurting production. Some areas are hurting from the drought even more than Mount Albert, Smalley said. Environment Canada’s Phillips agrees, although he said most areas of York Region and southern Ontario are suffering from the dry conditions to some degree. “Dryness is everywhere in York Region, with degrees of dryness varying between south and north,” he said. For example, Canada Day storms brought only 3.5 millimetres of rain in Buttonville, while the unofficial total in Aurora was 11.1 mm. Last Friday night, only 2.8 mm fell at Buttonville, while the unofficial amount in Aurora was 12.5 mm. Pointing out how difficult it is for the parched land to absorb a quick deluge of rain, Phillips said all areas need some steady precipitation. “What we need is a four-day rainfall with 15 to 20 mm each day, not all in one hour because most of it will not go to work for you. (The rains) fill the sewers and cause intersection flooding but they don’t really get down to the root zone, ” he said. At Buttonville, where there is an Environment Canada weather station, about 90 mm of rain fell in May, June and up to July 11, less than half the 188 mm that would normally fall during that time, Phillips said. From June 12 to July 11, less than 10 mm of rain fell at Buttonville, where there would normally be 75 to 80 mm. There have also been 12 days in the region so far since May where the temperature has climbed over 30 C, compared to seven days in a typical late spring and early summer, Phillips said. “While the averages have been above normal, they haven’t really been record-breaking at all,” he said. Last year, by this same time, York had had one day above 30 C and 244 mm of rain had fallen at Buttonville compared to this year’s 90 mm. “This has been great beer drinking weather but it hasn’t been great for people depending on moisture from a growing point of view,” Phillips said. “There’s fire bans out there and watering bans too…. It’s good for youthful people who like to drink beer, the muscle shirt and tank top crowd.” There are calls for rain Thursday and Friday this week, although Phillips remains skeptical it will do much good, if it comes at all.

The conversion rate measures the number of donated organs that were successfully transplanted. The average conversion rate across Ontario hospitals is 56 per cent. At Southlake that rate was 43 per cent, at Mackenzie Health, 57 per cent and at Markham Stouffville Hospital, 67 per cent. “This one is a little more complicated because there are a lot of steps that need to happen quickly between the time we are notified of a donation and getting it to the recipient,” Gavsie added. From the time the network is informed of a donor, a recipient has to be located, transport has to be arranged and the transplant team needs to be put in place in a small time frame to ensure the organ remains in good condition. “Obviously our goal is to get both rates to 100 per cent at every hospital and we are currently working with all partners to make that happen,” she said. “Even though we have a ways to go, we are headed in the right direction.” The public plays a role in the improvement process as well by registering to be a donor at beadonor. ca and speaking about their wishes with loved ones. During the time period of the study, provincial hospitals cared for 296 deceased organ donors and performed 1,173 lifesaving transplants. In addition, 2,200 tissue donors enhanced the lives of thousands through the gift of corneas, skin, bone and heart valves.

Chefs cook up recipes for hosting backyard dinner Go beyond burgers and hot dogs with some of these guaranteed-to-wow dishes
W
BY LISA QUEEN
lqueen@yrmg.com
ith your backyard beckoning you outside during the summer, chances are you will be inviting family and friends for an outdoor meal at some point over the next few weeks. Sure, you could take the easy route and throw some burgers and hot dogs, or even a steak, on the barbecue. But what if you want to kick it up a notch and make your meal more special for your guests? We asked five local chefs to each give us a recipe for holding an outdoor dinner party
for eight to 10 people. Jimmy Comfort of Baldwins in Aurora offered his favourite drink recipe from the restaurant’s cocktail list. Tim Pettigrew of Newmarket’s Ground Burger Bar gave us his recipe for a delicious appetizer. Christopher Waye of the Smokery Kitchen and Bar in Whitchurch-Stouffville, provided a recipe for a mouth watering meat dish, while Christina Minotti of King’s Pine Farms Orchard paired it with a delectable side dish. And what’s a dinner party without something sweet on which to end? That’s where Rebecca Pinga of Newmarket’s G & D Baking Co., comes in with her scrumptious dessert.
The Smokery owner Christopher Waye shows off a meat dish sure to impress your party guests.
THE COCKTAIL Jimmy Comfort’s favourite drink on his menu: Yellow Bird In a cocktail glass filled with ice, combine 1/2 oz dark rum
1/2 oz banana liqueur 1/3 cup pineapple juice 1/3 cup orange juice top with drizzle of Galliano liqueur
APPETIZER Tim Pettigrew’s Grilled Jerk Chicken and Halloumi Satay
Jerk Marinade 1 tbsp allspice 1 tbsp cinnamon 1 tbsp coriander 1 tbsp cumin 1 tbsp fennel seed 1 tbsp thyme 1 tbsp oregano 2 tbsp minced garlic 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 jalapenos, minced 2 tbsp black pepper 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1/4 cup lime juice 1 tsp salt Blend all ingredients together in blender till smooth, keep in fridge until ready to use. (Will keep 4-6 days.)
Satay 2 lb boneless/skinless chicken breast 1 red onion 1-2 red pepper 1-1/2 lb Halloumi cheese 2-3 limes 1 L vanilla yogurt 10 bamboo or metal skewers (if using bamboo, soak them in water overnight to keep them from burning) Cube chicken into bite size pieces and place in bowl, cover chicken with jerk marinade, cover and let marinate over night. Cut onion, red pepper, and Halloumi cheese into bite size portions, skewer all ingredients onto sticks, alternating chicken (3pc) onion, (2pc), red pepper (2pc), halloumi cheese (2pc). Once you have your desired arrangement on the sticks, it’s time to hit the grill. Be sure your barbecue is at high heat. Sear all sides of your skewers to get uniform grill marks around them. Turn heat down to medium and finish cooking till chicken is fully cooked. Serve with wedges of fresh lime and bowl of vanilla yogurt for dipping. Enjoy!
MAIN MEAT DISH Christopher Waye’s Bone-in Lamb Shoulder BBQ 5 lb bone-in lamb shoulder 3 tbsp smoked paprika 1 tbsp cracked black pepper 2 cloves fresh garlic 2 tsp mustard powder 1 tbsp coriander 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tbsp kosher salt Bone-in lamb shoulder is a wonderful, inexpensive and flavourful cut of lamb that is extremely tender when cooked properly. If your guests are not interested in lamb then a pork shoulder can be substituted with the same results. I have served this roast with everything from boiled potatoes and cabbage to a build your own taco stand. Also the recipe can be scaled up with another shoulder quite easily making this recipe versatile and reasonably easy to prepare. Begin by combining spices in a spice mill or coffee grinder. If you don’t have one then a blender will do the same job. Generously rub the entire shoulder with the spice rub and allow to sit until the roast comes to room temperature, roughly 30 minutes. Rubbing the meat
can be done the night before to maximize the flavour. While waiting for the roast to come to temperature preheat your barbecue to 450 C. Make sure you are cooking on a clean and well-oiled grill. Sear the shoulder on all sides roughly one to two minutes a side. The natural fat of the shoulder will cause some flare-ups so move the shoulder around the grill until you have a lovely colour and seared crust. It should not be burnt, just caramelized. Transfer the shoulder to a shallow baking tray lined with tin foil. Create a small bowl with the foil and add a cup of liquid (stock, water, beer, wine, your choice). Cover the roast with a loose foil tent. Cook for 2-4 hours at 180-200 C. Check every hour and add liquid if necessary. Lamb is finished when it is fork tender. (Optional) Add some apple wood chips to the barbecue in a tin foil package. This will add a complex layer of flavour to an already excellent rub. Once lamb is completed, transfer to a cutting board and loosely cover with foil. Allow the meat to rest for 30 to 45 minutes so the natural juice can be reincorporated. Pull the shoulder apart keeping large pieces intact. Serve with mint and fresh lemon.

2 tbsp apple cider Chop potatoes into cubes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, cook until tender approximately 10-15 minutes. Drain and cool. In a large bowl combine mayonnaise and olive oil, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar and granulated sugar whisk until combined. Next add your cool potatoes, celery, red onions, shredded carrots, shredded apples, apple cider, salt pepper, garlic to taste and parsley. Mix until all is combined. Chill for about 1 hour before serving.
DESSERT Rebecca Pinga’s Mixed Berry Shortcakes 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tbsp baking powder 1/4 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling 3/4 tsp salt 7 tbsp unsalted butter 1 cup cold whipping cream, plus extra for brushing 2-1/2 pints mixed berries Strawberry Caramel Sauce 1-1/4 cup fresh strawberry puree (3/4 lb of fruit, pureed in a blender or food processor. Then strained to remove any seeds) 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1-1/2 cup whipping cream 2 tbsp sugar Preheat oven to 425 F. Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl.

want it to look shaggy. Turn dough onto a floured surface and roll out to 1-inch thick. Use a 3-inch circle cutter to cut out 10 biscuits. Place biscuits on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush tops with whipping cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden, 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the strawberry caramel sauce. Place 1⁄2 cup water and 3⁄4 cup of sugar into a deep pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Do not stir and do not walk away. When the mixture reaches a deep amber colour (after about 10 minutes), slowly add the fruit puree, whisking constantly until all the sugar is dissolved. Be careful because this mixture is hot and bubbly. Allow caramel to simmer and reduce slightly. It will thicken more as it cools. Transfer to another bowl, cover with plastic wrap and reserve till later. Whip cream until thickened. Then add 2 tbsp sugar to a mixing bowl and whisk on high till you get stiff whipped cream. Slice cooled shortcakes horizontally and put the bases cut side up on the serving plates. Divide remaining berries among the 10 bases. Drizzle berries evenly with caramel sauce and top with whipped cream. Any remaining cream can be served alongside shortcakes. Serve immediately Preparing the shortcakes, caramel sauce and berries ahead of time can be a real time saver.

EDITORIAL Rules needed on how to fill vacant council seats
N
ewmarket council has a big decision to make July 25 as it deals with how best to fill the Ward 5 council seat left vacant by the sudden resignation of longtime Councillor Joe Sponga. It shouldn’t even be a discussion. We’re not trying to sound glib. Rather, we’re arguing the process for filling a council seat vacated partway through a term shouldn’t be up to a municipal council at all. There are rules in place dictating that a byelection must be held in any given riding when an MPP or MP resigns his or her seat, so why should municipal councils even possess the option of appointing someone to fill a vacancy? It has often been stated that municipal governance is the level most accessible to the public and one could make the case it is the tier that has the most direct impact on the average citizen’s daily life.

“M
‘The process for filling a council seat vacated partway through a term shouldn’t be up to a municipal council at all.’ Fortunately, Newmarket Mayor Tony Van Bynen has voiced his support for a byelection. Regional Councillor John Taylor has also come out on record to say he, too, supports filling the council vacancy democratically rather than by appointment. “It’s very rare you have an appointment under a vacancy unless there’s less than a year left in the term,” he said. “The public has a democratic right to choose their representative. I lean strongly toward a byelection. There’s a lot of important issues here and knowing that person was duly elected when they vote on an important issue is important.” We agree. A recent review of the Municipal Elections Act resulted in changes such as allowing the introduction of ranked ballots and a ban on corporate and union donations to campaigns. Perhaps the provincial government should go a step further and make byelections mandatory at the municipal level unless a vacancy occurs within the last 12 months of a term. Regardless if that happens, Newmarket council would do its citizens a disservice if it were to appoint someone with more than two years remaining in this council term. Some may say that filling a vacancy through an appointment is a cost-effective way to deal with a resignation. A recent by election in Barrie’s Ward 7 reportedly rang in at more than $40,000 — not an insignificant figure — but how much is the integrity of local democracy worth?

Re: Beware the barbecue brush: A serious injury every cooking season bit.ly/29BQLzR Kevin Paré — I find with proper cleaning this can be avoided. I use a double sided brush that has a Brillo pad on one side. The grill should be cleaned right after use. Burn off the residue and brush. Then when it’s cooled brush again with the Brillo side until it is spotless. I’ve seen many grills where the residue is caked on. I can see how a bristle can stick to it. more than this location.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR MTO should think LRT instead of HOV lanes I learned of this study through a notice in our local newspaper. I live north of the study area. In any event, while I appreciate that the use of a Class Environmental Assessment is to basically look at amendments to an existing approved project, I strongly encourage the MTO and the province to seriously consider using the centre of this extremely valuable transportation corridor for the construction of an LRT rather than HOV lanes. This LRT could connect with both the GO train at the Oriole Station (Hwy. 401 and Leslie) and also the Sheppard subway at Leslie. This could go a long way to providing what could become a Yonge Subway relief line. The problem with the current Barrie GO train is that it only serves downtown Toronto. There is no ready access to the major centres at Bloor, Eglinton and North York Centre. The proposed LRT would most likely handle significantly more passengers than an expanded Hwy. 404 and people driving on the highway would see a constant reminder of the advantages of public transit. So the simple question that the province needs to ask is: What would serve the greatest number of travellers? An HOV lane on Hwy. 404 or an LRT that connected with the TTC and GO transit so that public transit users from York Region could access all major centres along the Yonge subway line without having to either take the Barrie GO train to Union station then backtrack north on the Yonge Subway or alternatively take the dreadful VIVA bus “milk run” down Yonge Street.
There is also the family that wonders what happened to their kitty cat. Please let this be a wake-up call to all pet owners who let their pets, (especially cats) roam freely — it could be their remains that I find next. Thanks very much.

Summer vacation a great time to teach kids skills Two months of summer vacation are slipping away fast for school kids. Now is a wonderful opportunity to teach a special young person in your life some life skills and introduce them to a few unforgettable experiences. Instead of spending $50 to attend an event in the city, why not avoid the traffic chaos and spend some quality time with your teenager or preschool child here in Aurora? Some of these suggestions might get you started: get out grandma’s old photo albums, vacuum and clean the inside of the car, learn how to make devilled eggs or pasta sauce, walk around old Aurora and look at the architecture of the fine old buildings, find bird nests in Sheppard’s Bush, sew a pillow top or discover the difference between a flower and a weed. You might learn something too! Yes, computer games are a great time passer, but children like to have “one-on-one time” with a parent, grandparent or aunt. You can make a wonderful difference in a child’s life by sharing your hobby or knowledge with the next generation. Have fun!

Mayor should not be Don’t let pets roam free criticizing police union in area known for coyotes Re: York police union begins I recently found the remains, (two front paws, a lot of fur and some intestines) of a black cat in the wooded/pond area behind Banbury Court. Based on the physical evidence, the cat was most likely killed and eaten by a coyote — the third in this area in as many years. Coyotes are opportunistic animals and will kill whatever they can to survive. Unfortunately, some neighbours continue to let their cats roam freely and become the next meal for a coyote. It is difficult to imagine the sheer terror, fear and agony of a pet that is grabbed and killed by a coyote.
work-to-rule campaign, June 30: bit.ly/2a6K2yF Concerning this article, the first thought that comes to mind is the lack of leadership on the part of the York Regional police services board chair. Presumably, it falls on the shoulders of the Markham mayor, as he is the chairperson. How would his finger pointing address the escalating police budget and the impending job action? The Sunshine List keeps getting longer and longer every year and has reached a critical point whereby more than 70 per cent of the force makes more than $100,000 a year. Contract after contract, the

police services board essentially rubber stamped the benefits and salary increases without any serious dialogue with the union to work out a blueprint for a balanced approach to smart policing and to maintain a long-term, sustainable police budget. How is a mandated ticket quota an effective use of valuable police resources? Members of the police board get paid to sit on the board to ensure the police force operates in an efficient and sustainable manner to protect us. The mayor is compensated to be the chairperson, in addition to his compensation package north of $200,000. By the way, the mayor of Toronto makes less than the mayor of Markham, yet the City of Toronto is seven times larger than the City of Markham. From an economics standpoint, I feel the mayor has little credibility criticizing the police union. There is a public bargaining process in place between the board and the union. The process to determine the mayor’s compensation is done by council behind closed doors. What is the criteria? Where is the performance review? Where is the comparison to cities of similar size? The valid question is: Has the mayor been doing an excellent job to earn his salaries, sitting as chair and board member at the police board, PowerStream and others and being compensated by each and every organization? To set an example, the budget restraint measure should start at the top. Let us not forget the mayor’s pet project a few years ago, the GTA arena fiasco. Markham taxpayers were on the hook for more than $750,000 with nothing to show for it. The irony is our mayor was re-elected unchallenged. The real question is: Do residents of the great City of Markham deserve better?

It’s an issue few people know about, but it’s just as important to our future in many ways as climate change: the fate of the humble honeybee, pollinator of fruits and vegetables and provider of life. Did you know pollinators are responsible for over 75 per cent of the food eaten on the planet? Think about what would happen if they went extinct. How would we survive? That’s why reports of massive bee loss – like Sharon beekeeper James Murray’s one million-plus dead bees ¬ is so upsetting. As reported by York Region Media Group’s Simon Martin last week, Murray is concerned about the effect neonicotinoids (a type of pesticide) are having on his bees. He is hoping that a provincial governmentinstituted ban will have a positive impact on his hives. But he’s out thousands of dollars. It wasn’t just a matter of money for Murray. The bee deaths really hurt. “It was horrible, I cried,” he said. Martin reported that bee loss across Ontario reached 58 per cent in the winter of 2013-14. Another local bee farmer, Andre Flys of Nobleton, was stung when his total number of hives was cut from 500 to 200. He suffered a 70 per cent bee loss in 2013 then another 50 per cent loss in 2014. Something is clearly wrong. “We are at our wit’s end and we don’t know how to continue,” Flys told Martin. With neonics, as they’re known being reduced by 80 per cent by July 1, 2017 in crop use, the hope is that they can be ruled out as a cause of bee deaths. There are still concerns over the varroa mite as a cause of bee mortality or other pesticide and climate factors. More studies are being done and more information is always being gathered. The European Union is currently undergoing a full two-year ban on the use of neonics and it’s hoped we can learn a lot from what they are going through. If bee losses are closely tied to the use of neonics, as many believe they are, the European process will provide the data needed to prove it. If bee losses are still profound even after neonics have been eliminated for several years, then the factors could live elsewhere. What is clear is that all parties, the government, farmers, honeybee owners and especially the public, have a clear and vital interest in making sure honeybees survive and thrive. We have a growing population that will only continue to require more and more pollination in the future. We can’t afford to let our bees die. — Tim Kelly is a reporter with the King Connection newspaper.

the University of Waterloo to study mechatronics, the design of computer-controlled electromechanical systems. Due to his interest in science and programming, he was a member of the school’s robotics team and often participated in “hackathon” events where students are challenged to complete a complicated project in 24 hours. Father Michael McGivney graduates Malavan Ragulojan and Janani Sathiaselan tied for second place in the region’s top scholars list as both achieved a 99.83-percent average. They echo Niu’s advice of being among peers who have a passion for learning. “My peers in the IB program were very
supportive,” Sathiaselan said. “It was nice to face the trials and challenges of the intensive program together because we really understood and supported each other.”
‘Getting 100 per cent isn’t something you can pull off overnight. I wouldn’t have much advice to offer a student entering their final year who asks how to get the perfect mark.’ The scholars agree that there is no short cut when it comes to academic achievement, only hard work, dedication and having the support of those around you.

Decor advice for your first home “I am in my late 20s and have just purchased my first home. I love the house but it looks choppy. I’m not sure what works together and what doesn’t and I can’t afford a decorator to help me figure it out. Where do I start?” First of all, congrats on owning a home while still in your 20s! You are young enough that you likely haven’t collected many decor items to which you are emotionally attached and that you can build a design concept around. So as you move forward with decorating your home, don’t worry about the trends and keep your eye out for unique items you will love for years to come. The best place to start is determining the look you like and sticking with it. Why? In my 20 years of experience, I have seen time and again that essentially people’s aesthetic preferences really don’t change too drastically. It’s not often someone who has always liked traditional Queen Ann styles suddenly has a penchant for a Barcelona chair. Know that for the average home, the sofa-loveseat combo is typically too large. Try to avoid purchasing items that are too matchy. If you’re buying new, ask about materials and finishes that coordinate rather than match. Shop for furniture armed with your room dimensions and the location of doors and windows so you can accurately discuss the space and get the best advice possible. Invest in a classic piece that will be an item you can move from room to room, repurpose, refinish or integrate into a multitude of different spaces in the years to come. Smaller, good quality furnishings are sound investments - a leather bench, a small, good quality chest of drawers or a classic hallway console can be refinished as your tastes mature and broaden. A safe, long-term decision can be made by upholstering larger, more costly items in neutral colours and subtle patterns. For example, sofas and love seats that are taupe, off-white, grey, black or brown are a good place to start because they don’t typically go out of style and they will generally work with most other colours and patterns or finishes you decide to introduce to the space. Limit punchier colours and large, more vibrant patterns and prints to the smaller furnishings and decor items such as occasional chairs, benches, ottomans, throw pillows and throws. Smaller items C
M
Y
are less expensive to reupholster or refinish if you grow tired of them over time. If you’re having difficulty choosing fabrics, take a queue from your own closet to determine your colour and style preferences. Mix in materials like leather to add interest. Since they are often chosen and installed last, window coverings are frequently put up in a rush or as an afterthought. Don’t forget that they are an important part of creating and finishing the aesthetic of your dreams because they often set the tone of the room. If fully functioning, they will also help protect the other investments in your home by providing light control. Moreover, as a young woman living alone, window coverings provide you with added security and privacy. Don’t skimp on lighting. Invest by installing pot lights in your home to add value and elevate the look of any space. Multiple sources of lighting will give you maximum lighting flexibility at any time of day. While at 20-something you are not likely in your forever home, investing in some customization that improves home value is never a bad idea. Permanent built-ins such as main floor laundry room cabinetry, updated kitchen cabinetry, custom vanities and wall-to-wall entertainment units will typically add value while providing you with both function and the style you’re trying to establish. Be sure not to overspend by educating yourself about the value of your home. Be cautious about investing in large custom pieces like armoires and stand-alone entertainment units that you think you will take with you if you decide to move. There’s always a risk that the cabinet will only fit in the home you’re currently in and will not have an appropriate space in your next home. If this is something that is important to you, wait until you find your forever home prior to making this kind of investment. Cheers! Janice

Friday storm unkind to Holland Marsh farmers Crops such as onions, carrots and lettuce ‘shredded’ after hail, heavy rains and wind damages thousands of acres By Brea Bartholet
bbartholet@yrmg.com
A
rea residents were in for some strange summer weather as unusually large hailstones poured down last Friday. With a severe thunderstorm warning in effect, Environment Canada was calling for hail threeto-four centimetres in diameter, or “ping-pong sized” hail. Around 8 p.m., a large and aggressive storm hit the area – severely damaging crops within the Holland Marsh. Some residents posting photos to social media compared the hail to golf balls or toonies. Heavy rain also came with the storm. There were also multiple reports of cracked windshields and dented cars, but the extent of the storm’s damage seems to have hit farmers the hardest.
‘Our guys have gone from dealing with extreme drought to flooded and destroyed land.’ Jody Mott, executive director of the Holland Marsh Growers’ Association, says upward of 20 farmers have experienced severe damage to their land, the equivalent of about 2,000 acres. “Multiple acres of onions, carrots and lettuce have been shredded,” she explained. “Our guys have gone from dealing with extreme drought to flooded and destroyed land. Some were up to their ankles in water.” Mott says she isn’t sure whether the affected farms will be able to recover from such damage. The storm’s timing was especially upsetting, as some of the grown lettuce was supposed to have been harvested that Saturday morning. When asked what the damage will cost farmers, Mott says a price tag can’t be calculated. “This is going to affect each farmer very differently and I can’t speak for each of them. It’s really going to depend on whether or not they can salvage anything or if they choose to re-seed.” Herman Gasko agreed, as he stood staring out into one of his damaged onion fields. Most of his 30 acres of crop, which included a large amount of both red and yellow onions, cannot be saved.
Staff photo/Brea Bartholet
Holland Marsh farmer Herman Gasko kneels in front of was a thriving field of yellow onions, on Monday. He plans on disking what remains in a portion of his fields to make way for carrot seeds. As it is already so late into farming season, Gasko says the carrots will not be ready until the end of October or beginning of November. “We will go well into frost season, so I really don’t know what will come out of it. Costly is how I would describe all of this, in one word. This season is proving to be a challenge.” And a challenge it has certainly been. Farmers within the marsh have already endured two major windstorms, a drought and now a major hailstorm. Gasko and many
of his neighbours were forced to reseed crops due to the windstorms over the last couple of months, only to lose a majority of them Friday night. Now, the future of the season is uncertain. Farmers with crop insurance will do their best to ensure that whatever can be saved will be saved, though Mott says only a handful have that security blanket. Farmers have been using an Epson salt spray to attempt to heal vegetables as quickly as possible to gain a better idea as to what can be salvaged.

farmer, says Friday’s storm eerily resembles the destructive path of a tornado that hit the marsh in May of 1985. The exception with this situation, she says, is that it was not buildings that have sustained the damage; instead financial losses will be incurred by farmers whose crops were mowed down like grass. “Our farmers have been working 19 hours a day irrigating for weeks now trying to keep what was seeded growing, in order to have a marketable crop. After talking with the farmers I have, it’s clear many have come to terms with the damage and the loss.”

Eek says her family farm along Strawberry Lane and Aileen Avenue narrowly missed the storm’s damaging path, though the large amount of rain and upcoming heat wave will likely diminish their own onion crop. Though the marsh provides 75 per cent of Ontario’s vegetables and 65 per cent of Canada’s, it is unlikely that consumers will see an impact on prices due to the storm. “Unfortunately the heavy costs will all come down on us,” said Gasko. “Farmers always take the hit.” – with files from Vjosa Isai, Torstar News Network

Former Metroland editor John Slykhuis remembered fondly By Heidi Riedner
hriedner@yrmg.com
Former Georgina Advocate editor John Slykhuis left a lasting impression on his newspaper pages, legacy to his craft and community, and indelible mark in the hearts of family and friends. The 66-year-old Sutton resident, father of two and award-winning journalist who died of his injuries after a collision with a car while cycling on Black River Road in Sutton July 6, is being remembered by many for his rapier and satiric wit, encyclopedic mind, journalistic integrity, love of life and family, and no-nonsense attitude. His daughter, Erynn, chuckled softly as she agreed her dad could be loud and forceful with his passions and opinions when it came to his work. ”His convictions were unwavering, but, behind the scenes, he had a quiet dignity, a loyal and loving spirit that will never be forgotten and will be forever missed,” she said. A man who downplayed any act of charity he performed or any award he won as much as he wore his love of soccer and his beloved Dutch national team on an orange sleeve, Slykhuis had a huge heart and cared deeply not only about his family and friends, but also his community. “He was the most open, honest,
caring person I have ever known,” Advocate photographer and good friend of 22 years Susie Kockerscheidt said. “John Slykhuis was salt of the earth. Our hearts are bleeding now.” While Erynn knew her dad found volunteering at the Georgina Food Pantry to be very rewarding, she said she only just recently learned from one of her aunts about one of many acts of kindness that her dad left characteristically unmentioned. A few years ago, her aunt asked Slykhuis if he knew of a community service that delivered Christmas cheer baskets, since she knew of a family in Georgina that had been going through a hard time due to illnesses in the family. She didn’t realize that when he said he would take care of it, that he meant it literally. “My aunt later found out that my dad went to the home laden with baskets of food, clothing and toys that he purchased out of his own pocket,” Erynn said. “The family never knew who helped them that year, as my dad never took any credit. He never bragged. If he saw someone in need, he would just quietly do what he could.” Many this week paid tribute to the warmth, compassion and integrity of a man who welcomed a heated discussion as much as he offered a generous, giving hand

est guys you could ever meet.” The six-foot, three-inch silverhaired man could strike an imposing figure both in person and in print, but the polished and poised persona known to many Georgina residents was a far cry from the young, yet passionate, poofyhaired, lanky young 20-something who started his career in Bradford under The Topic banner. “John Slykhuis was a character, always his own man, and always a dedicated journalist,” praised Marney Beck, editor of the Richmond Hill Liberal, who worked with Slykhuis at the Topic Newsmagazine in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Beck remembers Slykhuis as a patient teacher and positive role model when she was just a rookie reporter learning the ropes. “He had a gruff exterior, wanting to project the image of a hardedged newsman, but he had a big, compassionate heart,” she said. “He often offered biting, sarcastic comments, but he could be counted on to express the truth of situations even when others were reluctant to do so – especially in his writing.” Slykhuis is survived by his children Erynn and Damien, mother Mary and siblings Reneka, Peggy, Trish, Martin and Ron. He is predeceased by his dad, John Sr., brother Jeff and his darling wife Jill.

Always reading newspapers and magazines, listening to talk radio and/or keeping an eye on a news channel on his television in the background, Slykhuis remained a community newspaper man at heart, turning down an offer several years ago of a reporting job at a major Toronto newspaper. Incredulous that her dad had “turned them down flat” despite the fact the job would have meant more money and prestige, Erynn said he loved what he was doing. “He loved being the editor, the one calling the shots. Even if it was a small newspaper, he felt like he would be doing more and could contribute more that way.” Often raising public ire as well as consciousness during his long career, Slykhuis boldly went where many other editors feared to tread, garnering respect even from those who were often centred in his journalistic crosshairs. “He was honest to a T and he was the type of man that would tell you his opinion to your face,” said former Georgina mayor Rob Grossi, whose politics and positions were often at the centre of Slykhuis’ political commentary in the pages of The Advocate. “Let me tell you, he was critical of me many times, but I always had great respect for the man, his thoroughness and quality when it came to his work, and for who he was as man.

Huskies’ Ormond, Mota romp to gold on Legion track By John Cudmore
jcudmore@yrmg.com
It was a weekend to howl for a pair of Newmarket Huskies in Timmins. Double visits to the top step on the medal podium from Cami Ormond and Nick Mota highlighted the track club’s performances at the Royal Canadian Legion track and field championships held Friday and Saturday. Ormond blazed her way to victory with meet records and wide margins of victory in the girls under-15 division in the 1,200 and 2,000-metre events as Huskies club members claimed gold in seven events. Ormond won the 1,200 in three minutes, 30.5 seconds to outdistance runnerup Madison Greig by more than 17 seconds. She won the 2,000 in 6:15.87 and 41 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Katie Newlove. Meanwhile, Mota clocked in at 3:15.32 to capture the boys’ under-15 title and edge Kyle Koyanagi 3:15.56 in the 1,200 race. He posted a 5:55.56 in the 2,000 metres while teammate Dakota Goguen placed third. Jonathan Desouza and Joshua Desouza won the under-17 boys 1,500 and 3,000 metres, respectively. Will Jones topped the field in the under-15 boys 1,500 metres.
Stingrays’ Whitmore golden at open water provincials Cassidy Whitmore sped to victory in the 2,000-metre race at the Ontario provincial
open water championships last Wednesday at Professor’s Lake in Brampton. Competing in the girls’ 13-year-old age group, Whitmore was joined in the winner’s circle by Newmarket Stingrays’ clubmate Casey McColl, who finished third. Meanwhile, Hannah Kiernan and Paryse Reed finished second and third, respectively, in the girls’ 14 years age group. Alexander Axon had a third-place finish in the boys 13 years category.
Craney, Goodall celebrate Canada’s football gold score In the end, Canada took the football and went home. With gold. For the second time in four tries, a Canadian team captured the International Federation of American Football championship with a 24-6 victory over the United States in Sunday’s under-19 tournament championship game played in Harbin, China. Led by head coach Warren Craney of Newmarket, the squad included 16-year-old lineman Matt Goodall of Mount Albert, who attends Huron Heights Secondary School. Canada’s triumph avenged an earlier 32-14 loss to the USA and left the team with three wins in four games. It was the second time in four years since the under-19 championship has been played that Canada took top prize. Canada last won in 2012 by defeating the Americans in Austin, Texas.

Thornhill’s Ladies’Golf Club of Toronto a real gem
Ladies’ Golf Club of Toronto
DIRECTOR OF GOLF: Padraig Kelly STATUS: Private SIGNATURE HOLE: Director of golf Paddy Kelly refers to it as possibly the shortest par-5 in golf. Except that No. 7 at Ladies’ Golf Club of Toronto it is actually a par-3 on this Stanley Thompson-design. It just plays that tough. At 195 yards from the back tees, this downhill play over a creek, part of the East Don River which runs through the course, to a very small enclosed green isn’t for anyone with a case of the yips. Shots above the sloping green are trouble. Honourable mention: At 179 yards, No. 16 is almost déjà vu all over again. TROUBLE AWAITS: Looks can be deceiving. Just because a putting surface appears flat, it’s not necessarily the case. Study well before using the flat stick “That’s the teeth of the golf course,” said Kelly, in his fourth season at Ladies’. CURSE OF THE COURSE: The three finishing holes demand your full attention. Starting with the par-3 16th, a long downhill test and ending with a rare (by Thompson standards) uphill par-3, it’s best to not get too complacent. Sandwiched in between is a short par-4 test of 269 yards that plays tough thanks to a tight layout to this right dogleg. Grass and sand bunkers offer a final line of defence, waiting to gobble up short approach shots. Ironically, the 18th greets visitors to Ladies’ and lurks patiently for your arrival the entire round. GIMME A LIFE MEMBERSHIP: Ladies’ presents a culture shift from typical male-dominated golf environment.
THE PR TOUR
’S
The Pro’s Tour reviews golf courses in and near York Region and appears on a regular basis online and in York Region Media Group newspapers.
True, men have been welcome as guest card holders since 1936, but it is strictly a female membership of 410 players. In fact, Ladies’ is the last remaining private golf club in North America established by women for women. With its lack of forced carries, long and narrow fairways which tend to open up at the greens, the course rewards touch. Makes sense. As one of Stanley Thompson’s early and frequent designs in the York Region area, Ladies’ was established in 1924 by Ada Mackenzie, a top female golfer of the era, dismayed by second-class treatment she received at other courses. Mackenzie posed as Thompson’s wife in order to purchase the land under the premise it would be used as farmland. The course opened with nine holes in 1925 and an additional nine the following year. Surprise, fellas! CLUB-TOSSING TIME: Time to put on your thinking cap at No. 8. It’s a par-5 left dogleg and a true three-shot play to reach the green at 528 yards from the tips.
A number of bunkers make for a challenging approach to the green of the par-4 17th hole at Ladies’ Golf Club of Toronto. Off the tee, the wise club selection is a hybrid to clear the ravine. Driver and long can result in trouble on this No. 1 handicapped hole. A deft touch from the tee box is rewarded. PANEL’S PICK: Mr. Wiggedy Whack’s infatuation with Stanley Thompson-designed courses is satisfied with this gem. He’s also a fan of quirky. Playing uphill and over the road into the facility on the par-three 18th is a little off the map for Thompson but somehow when traffic stops for golfers, all is right in Whack’s world. Deep greenside bunkers offer protection to the right side on this 165-yard conclusion to a fun and interesting round.
THE PRO’S VIEW: “It is the longest 6,000-yard course in the world,” offers Kelly, with a tip of the golf cap to the longish par-3s. “It’s a strategic shot-making course which above all else rewards accuracy over distance.” GENERAL INFO: With 21 holes on the property, players can modify their round to beyond nine or 18 holes … Par is 72 for women; 70 for men.

GM Cella’s vision of Newmarket Hurricanes’ future starts now BY JOHN CUDMORE
I
jcudmore@yrmg.com
t is the total package. At least that is the view of Newmarket Hurricanes’ general manager Eric Cella after revealing his spankin’ new hockey staff team Monday. The first-year general manager for the Newmarket Hurricanes unveiled an eight-member staff, including head coach Tom Longland and player development manager Adam Shoff, which he anticipates will steer the franchise back to its status as a go-to destination for players. Junior hockey has developed a reputation for its old-school tendencies and limited vision. Sure, not all participants are to be stamped thusly, but many are worthy of the label. Cella is doing his best to alter the way junior hockey is offered,
starting with a three-pronged hockey staff that will address issues ranging from health and physical well-being, including a concussion awareness program and onice performance, while trying to advance players to the next level. It all sounds good. But will it make a difference? We’ll see. Cella is cognizant that the coaching staff has zero experience at the Junior A level. He is not at all disturbed by that perception. “It’s a younger staff but already they are working with the players,” said the 49-year-old, who took over the GM role late last season. Longland was part of the Toronto Titans triple-A coaching staff in the Greater Toronto Hockey League from 2014 to 2016, including the minor bantam level last season. A former defenceman for the Pickering Panthers in the OJHL,
the 27-year-old Longland went on to become a two-sport athlete in hockey and lacrosse at Morrisville State University. Also named to the coaching staff were David Rainford and Curtis Longland, younger brother to the head coach. In addition to hockey background as a coach, Shoff, who played hockey at the College of Brockport in New York, has a background in sport science. “They are all new school guys,” said Cella. “It’s about everyone working together for the team and advancing players. It’s not about the coach and him moving ahead. I think what we have done is put a complete staff together. Everyone in it is in it for the Newmarket Hurricanes. We have a lot of resources at our disposal. “We’re developing kids and will compete to win although not at all
costs. The pay-to-play model is a different animal right now.” He anticipates a team that is competitive but will stay within its means to do so. The combination of Longland and Shoff, who have worked together in player development in recent years and whose clients include recent NHL draft picks Cameron Morrison, Adam Smith and Graham Knott, is a fresh look that bears the faint aroma of the Ontario Hockey Association’s Tomorrow’s Game concept. For his part, Longland is confident diving into the Junior A hockey waters directly from the minor bantam triple-A ranks. Rainford, spent the last three seasons with the Junior C Stayner Siskins, including head coach in 2015-16, making him the only member of the coaching troika with experience at the junior level.
Curtis Longland is a former 2007 draft pick of the Barrie Colts. He played in the OJHL for the Orangeville Crushers and in the Ontario Hockey League as a member of the Colts. His coaching experience is at the triple-A level in Windsor. The question: Is this new concept to be intimidated by competing veterans? Or, is it the other way around – that the old-guard should be wary of this modern-day approach? “I’m not intimidated,” said Longland, who was involved with the Hurricanes’ summer league development program this summer. “I’m ready for this challenge. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and Eric has given me the reins to bring in our program to focus on development. We hope and think it will translate into success on the ice.”

Olympic heartbreak befalls local athletes’ encore hope in Rio
N
o one ever said it was easy to make it to the Olympics. Nor is it a simple matter to hold your spot from one Olympiad to the next. No, ma’am. It is a tough game with constantly changing dynamics messing with your hopes and dreams. So, although Newmarket’s Sheila Reid may still be the holder of the fastest time in the 1,500 metres among Canadian women this qualifying period — ostensibly from July 2015 to this month — even following the Canadian championships and Rio Olympic Trials for Canada’s track and field elite last weekend in Edmonton, nothing outraces an untimely injury. “I was unable to line up today due to injury,” Reid wrote on her Twitter account after withdrawing from the event due to a right calf injury which kept her from competing. “The timing couldn’t be worse but this sport is brutal and
waits for no one.” Reid’s best time of four minutes, 3.96 seconds was one of three occasions on which she bettered the Canadian qualifying standard over the past 12 months. But, with a top two finish in nationals required to gain a team berth outright, or an appointment by Athletics Canada track and field coach Peter Ericksson, Reid was stymied. The 26-year-old flew to Portland last week in order to get a final consultation with the medical crew for the Oregon Track Club Elite with which she trains. The injury is accompanied by compensatory knee bursitis. Painful. Disappointing. “I can assure you that my team and I did everything we could to get me to stand upright on the start line but simply ran out of time,” she wrote, prior to the race, won by Gabriela Stafford. “It’s not sexy like a stress fracture but just as painful,” she wrote. “Another week of TLC is all needed.”
John Cudmore Cuddy Shark At least Reid’s sharp sense of humour seems intact. Four years ago, you might recall, Reid was able to gain a berth for the 5,000 metres in London’s Games by virtue of performance and an extensive appeal process. The recent bad luck goes to now show the window of opportunity athletes face in reaching the pinnacle of their sport. Truly opportunity knocks and it is best to be with packed bags and ready to go in a moment’s notice. Joining Reid on the sidelines is Sarah Wells. The Unionville resi-
dent who ran the 400 hurdles in London was unable to overcome a hamstring twice torn this season, but gamely tried, only to finish fourth in Edmonton. She, too, had met the Olympic standard. Injury didn’t sideline Markham’s Justyn Warner, who ran the 100 metres and was a 400-metre relay team member in 2012. But other runners did. In short, stars must align in the areas of performance, health and flat out good luck. It’s no easy task. The good news? Tokyo 2020 is only four years away and it’ll be a whole new game.
Leaders and followers Missing: The alpha athlete everyone admired in a past era would strap a team on his back and lead it to a championships contender status, or better. Basketball star Kevin Durant is unequivocally a major talent, making a mark with a pretty fair Thunder team in Oklahoma City.
So, while signing with almost everyone’s consensus team to beat, as the Golden State Warriors seem to be, with a goal to win an NBA championship with a team that already has a championship and finals appearance in the past two seasons and seems to be ascending, he may secure a coveted ring. Gold digger? Team player? Opportunist? Don’t the best ones lead rather than follow? In an era which seems to judge a player’s career by the number of championship rings he has, this free agency signing reeks of mefirst and whiffs entitlement. It will be left to fans to determine their own takeaway to a player’s career. Betcha a lot of fans outside Golden State Warriors’ Nation are cheering for a flop. Just Jawin’ … Kevin Pangos is playing NBA Summer League basketball with the Atlanta Hawks. The Holland Landing native played his first post-collegiate professional season with Spain’s Liga ACB’s Gran Canaria.

still defines the compact CUV
Metroland Media

Riding the Prairies
HIGH RIVER, AB: While it can be successfully argued the Subaru Forester created the compact crossover; there is little doubt it defined the segment in terms of utility and capability. At the time the Forester was shown in 1995 at the Tokyo Motor Show as the Streega concept later to emerge as the Forester in 1997, competitive all-wheel-drive compact CUVs were practically nonexistent. Sure, there was the AMC Eagle that was just about to go out of production and the first generation Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. But they were smaller and the Forester boasted standard all-wheel-drive.
“
The Foresters were sent out through a creek and up and down inclines that would have stopped lesser vehicles

continual improvements. This results in incredible owner loyalty with the Forester being the brand’s bread and butter seller. So for 2017, Subaru stuck with a winner, making just incremental changes. There are two models each with its own “boxer” four-cylinder engine and a choice of six-speed manual or CVT transmissions and each a different all-wheel-drive sysOver the years, the Forester has tem. remained pretty true to its roots On the entry and mid-trim 2.5i with, in typical Subaru fashion, models there is a naturally aspi-

rated version of the long serving and ultra reliable 2.5-litre “boxer” four-cylinder with 170 hp and 174 lb/ft of torque. The 2.5-litre is rated as a Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV). At the top is the 250 hp and 278-lb/ft twin scroll turbo 2.0-litre model called the 2.0XT. Fuel rating on the 2.5i CVT is 9.2/7.4L/100 (31/38 mpg) city/ highway on regular fuel. Fuel numbers on the manual are still be calculated. On premium fuel, the 2.0XT gets 10.2/8.6L/100 km (28/33
mpg). Manual AWD versions feature a viscous-coupling and self-locking limited slip centre differential that holds a constant 50/50 balance of torque between the front and rear axles. With the CVT, there is an electronically managed continuously variable transfer clutch (exclusive to Subaru) that actively manages torque distribution based on acceleration, deceleration, cornering and available traction.

June 2016 - “You’re not going through the prairies, are you?” people would ask. “It’s so-o-o boring.” That seemed to be the first reaction to our taking a 2016 BMW R1200RT from Toronto to Vancouver. But I wasn’t about to cut out the prairies. Besides the logic of staying under the Canadian healthcare umbrella (just in case) and avoiding U.S. exchange rates, we were simply in the mood for Canada. After Ontario, the road straightens and splits into a four-lane divided highway, the familiar “kathunk, ka-thunk” cross-seams telling you that you are enroute to Winnipeg. Traffic is sparse so we ride in the left lane, and not just because we’re from Toronto. The right side is worse-forwear, truck-rutted by the pounding passage of eighteen-wheelers. Long stretches of construction are revamping the older parts of the Trans-Canada. The constant trees give way to flat farmland, green and verdant after recent rains, the crops still too young to wave golden in the wind. And there’s nothing plain about the plains. We pass busy farms and fields that would later give way to rolling hills, dotted with cattle. The asphalt stretches on, straight as an arrow and I find the ride more soothing than boring. We had planned for a big push across the prairies. But the prairies push back. Headwinds rock the bike, gusts that would dog us most of the way west. But that was still better than my previous solo crosscountry trek twelve years ago on a 2004 BMW R1200CL . . . June 2004 - It’s been raining offand-on since Thunder Bay but at least the ruler-straight road takes the worry out of road slick conditions and the occasional nervewracking wriggle of aquaplaning. I try to keep my spirits higher than those of a sodden hitchhiker seen standing Turn to page W4

New MKZ turning Lincoln brand around Jim Robinson
Metroland Media HALIFAX, NS: It’s time for a change at Lincoln and the 2017 MKZ is leading the way. Conceived in the 1930s as a counter to Cadillac, the brand has had moments of glory, but never quite the greatness of its GM nemesis. Ford bought the Lincoln brand in 1922 and it has had its ups and down ever since, such as the first Continental in 1942 which resulted in 1956 Continental Mark 11, still to my mind, one of the loveliest designs of the post WW11 period. After that, Lincoln receded into the luxury car shadows with products such as the Town Car, which fueled the limo fleet market for years but did little to heighten the brand image. The harbinger of change is the 2017 version of the MKZ, which comes with a number of improvements, starting with the grille that does away with the previous butterfly design inspired by the pre-war Lincoln Zephyr. First seen earlier this year on the Lincoln Continental Concept, the grille is an ovoid shape, not unlike the Jaguar XKF, but with a prominent Lincoln badge in the middle, similar to the Maserati Quattroporte. Another problem was the slider controls for the climate and audio controls, which were impossible to use with gloves on and The 2017 Lincoln MKZ (Reserve model shown) gets a new grille and optional LED headlight treatment that unclutters the nose required taking your eyes off the road to find. compared to the outgoing model. Now it has proper knobs and toggles it works far better and I rarely had to avert my attention from the road ahead during the Select models are both priced at $42,000 and drive. the MZZ and MKZ Hybrid are both priced at $46,000 with a $1,900 shipping fee. The MKZ is powered by a 2.0-litre single turbo inline four-cylinder producing 245 hp and 275 lb/ft of torque, which is almost the same torque as the 3.7-litre V6 in the outgoing model.

June 2016 Those same freight trains rock us in our bed in L’Auberge Clemence Inn, an aging B & B and former convent adjacent to the railroad tracks in Elie, Manitoba. It’s a welcome retreat for two weary bikers, a future probably never foreseen by the former nuns. Back on the road and the constant baseline of flat prairie riding allows for experimentation aboard the R1200RT. The twincylinder boxer engine spins easily at 3,000 rpm through 90 km/h construction zones, registering a fuel economy reading of about 4.5L/100km. At 120 km/h, the mill spins at 4,000 rpm and seems to burn up about an extra litre. I even play with the powered windshield, noting its marginal effect on fuel econ in the fully raised, flatter position. We ride with the windshield up because it quiets the wind noise, even from Mary’s passenger seat. On the outskirts of Moose Jaw, we head for a cabin at Bend in the River Berries. It’s a tricky ride on loose gravel to get there. And an even trickier ride getting out. A night of rain has given the clay and gravel road the consistency of marbles in pudding. I’m almost wishing for the RT’s adventure sibling - the R1200GS. Or at least a more aggressive cut of tire. But we’re soon back on pavement where we belong. No time for Canuck, Climax or Carry the Kettle, we’re on to Medicine Hat, swinging south onto the Crowsnest Highway, scanning the road ahead for our first glimpse of mountains, hoping to escape the darkening skies ahead.

June 2004 - The R1200CL beats on steadily through the rain until I spot a bit of blue piercing the gloom at the prairie’s end. But a last cloud, heavy with tendrils of rain teases me as the road twists alternatively towards and away from it. I pull off and park atop a hill, deciding to wait it out. A rusty land barge sedan pulls up and an old man climbs out to chat. He launches into an impromptu stand-up routine with prairie jokes about dogs on the horizon three days
Crossing the Alberta border.
after running away and the lack of Saskatchewan mountain climbing accidents. He is an ancient life of the party, flapping large, flat dead man’s hands in the air and wheezing at his own jokes while I chuckle along and scan the shifting skies. After a while he begins to flag, finally departing with a wave, back to “the ol’ ball and chain,” as he says . . . June 2016 - Its funny how we don’t get to choose the small vignettes of memory that remain after time has blurred the details of our travel experiences. But I always knew I’d remember the old man on the hill. And I think of him now as Mary and I fight the remaining prairie headwinds, slinking under a sky so grey and low it feels like our helmets are scraping the bottom of the clouds. “I felt so small out there,” Mary would say to me later. Big sky country can do that to you. And so can mountains, the vague outlines of massive ranges showing hazily ahead as we leave the prairie, forging hard into the winds gusting across the ridges of Head Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, gateway for our final segment west - Riding the Rockies.

MKZ hybrid starts same price as gasoline Continued from W3 fuel consumption is rated at 11.8/8.4L/100 km city/highway. The Hybrid is equipped with a 2.0litre Atkinson Cycle inline four-cylinder producing 129 hp and 188 hp when combined with the electric motor/battery. Available in front-wheel-drive and a CVT transmission, fuel rating is 5.7/6.1L/100 km. Coming later will be a twin turbo 3.0-litre V6 with AWD and a potent 400 hp and 400 lb/ ft of torque. Cargo volume is 436 litres (15.4 cu ft) on the MKZ and 314 litres (11.1 cu ft) on the Hybrid. Driving in the rain from Halifax up to the Northumberland Strait I noticed the lack of tire “sizzle” (sound which comes from tread on a wet pavement) showing the Lincoln engineers really worked on audible intrusion into the cabin. This is partly due to active noise cancellation technology. A segment of Lincoln Drive Control is an adaptive suspension damping that measures speed, steering angle and body movement to continuously adjust damping to requirements. Weighing in at 1,756 kg (3,871 lb) the Hybrid Reserve’s performance was more than adequate, but passing had to be well planned. However, on the way back with the AWD, the MKZ Reserve tracked well on the combination of two-lane blacktop and Trans Canada Highway with plenty of power for all surfaces. Sight lines are good in spite of the highish windowsill line. The quality of the panel fit inside and out is exceptional. Both testers had the optional 20-speaker Revel Ultima Audio System that has to be heard to be appreciated. I noted the doors were specially designed to house the speakers. Standard on the MKZ is the SYNC 3 infotainment system with optional voice-activat-

ed navigation. Newly available to SYNC 3 are the Multicontour front seats with Active Motion. These heated and cooled seats has customizable air cushions adjustable for changing seat and back shapes or – get this – a gentle lumbar massage and dialed in by using the SYNC 3 centre touchscreen. There is no doubt Lincoln is on the road to raising its profile to take its place with other premium luxury sedans with the 2017 MKZ and MKZ Hybrid leading the way.

Forester awarded 2016 Top Safety Pick+
LEFT: One of the strengths of the Subaru Forester is its all-wheel-drive and CVT transmission with X-mode that controls wheel slip at all four corners, making it possible to go on most off-road terrains. RIGHT: The back seat of the 2017 Forester easily accommodates three adults.

Continued from W1 The turbo adds the Si-Drive engine management system with three driver-selectable settings for maximum control. Both AWD versions share a Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) stability program that results in the best all-weather or offroad travel and includes Hill Descent Control. In addition, the turbo models (with optional Technology Package) now have Active Torque Vectoring first seen on the WRX STI performance sedan. Of course any CUV is about utility and the Forester has the claimed best cargo volume in the segment with 974 litres behind the second row seat and 2,115 litres folded. The sunroof eats into this slightly with 892 litres behind the second row, 1,940 litres folded. There are four tiedowns and two hooks in the cargo area. Towing with both engines is 680 kg with trailer brakes, 453 kg without. The Forester is one of the safest vehicles on the road with the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarding the Forester (with optional EyeSight) with its 2016 Top Safety Pick+ award with the Forester being the longest-running TSP winner in the small SUV class for 10 years. The third generation EyeSight is now available with upgraded cameras and software to improve on collision avoidance. Standard on the Touring and Limited trim models is Rear/Side Vehicle Detection with Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert plus Lane Keep Assist. Something new that comes with the Technology Package is Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) that uses four sonar sensors to detect large objects such as posts or people
when backing up. If the driver does not react, RAB steps in and stops the Forester. To demonstrate how it works, Subaru set up a large garbage bin and told us to back up without putting a foot on the brake pedal. Every time, the system stopped the Forester. But my co-driver asked what would happen if the sensors were coated with mud or ice, i.e., would there be a warning the system was not working, such as Mercedes-Benz does with a visual prompt and audible warning? What the engineer did was tape s an audible warning. Driving time was extensive with my partner and I driving both the topline 2.5i Limited and 2.5i CVT with Convenience Package, which will probably be the highest volume model. But I was surprised to learn the upmarket Touring and Limited are expected to account for up to 20 per cent of sales. There were no turbo models available at the launch. The drive route was in and around High River, AB, which is now well on the mend from the devastating flood of four years ago. Roads were a mix of laser straight ranch roads and into the start of the foothills where there were no surprises with both models we drove breathing a little hard on steeper ascents, but otherwise with enough power to get the job done. One exercise included activating the X-mode, which is standard on all Subaru CVTs and helps reduce potential wheel slip on slippery surfaces, climbing steep inclines and navigating rough roads. At the Sierra Ranch, the Foresters were sent out through a creek and up and down inclines that would have stopped lesser vehicles, again, with no problems. Bottom line is the 2017 Subaru Forester continues to provide all the core values that have made the brand synonymous with the kind of reliability and competence that keeps bringing people back to the brand.
