The building of a First World War trench CHRIS SIMON csimon@yrmg.com

Doug Scott is constructing a trench with his grandfather in mind. With a team of volunteers behind him, the Newmarket resident has taken the lead on building a replica First World War trench at Old Town Hall. It's a Newmarket Historical Society project months in the making, and the trench will be on display from Nov. 5 to 19. Scott's grandfather worked as a carpenter behind the war's front lines. So in many ways, reconstructing a trench is a tribute to the man. He's also done extensive research on Newmarket residents who died during the war, and visited the battlefields in France and Belgium in search of their graves. "Not only do you build the trench but you've got to do the research too," he said while taking a break from construction earlier this week, palms and fin-

gers blackened and a pencil in one hand. "You want to make it as authentic as you possibly can. You do a lot of reading. As I started to build, I remembered my grandfather. He was a carpenter, helped build Maple Leaf Gardens and the stock exchange. He was in the war... but never the fighting skill because he had the (carpentry) skill." The trench is built mostly to a battlefield specifications manual published just after the war. There's an observation post, officer's room, a funk hole and latrines. Wooden planks line the base and sandbags sit on top of the walls and there's fake barbed wire made with twist ties winding its way throughout. "The challenge is it has to be brought in and assembled," Scott said. "Generals always prepare to fight the previous war. In 1921, they were thinking they were going into another trench war. You use that as a resource and look at a lot of pictures. From

They were living, working and fighting in this conformity. There wasn't a lot of room and death could happen in the blink of an eye; a shell could explode and your buddy beside you could die. I have to stand back and think 'could I have done this?'"

The trench system was often quite complex and included front, support and reserve lines, he said. This project attempts to blend historical data with the personal experiences of Newmarket residents during the war, said Erin

Local theatres may never make money: mayor

Newmarket's theatres will probably operate in red ink for the foreseeable future, the town's mayor says. With Newmarket Theatre typically operating at a $250,000 to $300,000 annual deficit and Old Town Hall reopening following a $10-million renovation, residents need to view the buildings as community investments, not money making ventures, Mayor Tony Van Bynen said. "I come back to the principle that municipalities are not for profit," he said. "We provide services to the community that are consistent with our cultural values and strategic priorities. I don't think, north of Steeles Avenue, that you'll find any theatre that makes money. If it did, private enterprise would be engaged in that. I look at it as an investment, not a loss. There's opportunities, now that Old Town Hall is open, to generate revenues for us, but I don't think either will ever be money generators." Van Bynen's comments were made after the recent release of town documents pertaining to

Newmarket Theatre is running an annual operating deficit of about $250,000, according to the Town of Newmarket. However, the Newmarket Taxpayers Advocacy Group says the amount is actually much higher and could get worse now that Old Town Hall has reopened. the Newmarket Theatre by the Newmarket Taxpayers Advocacy Group. NTAG says the theatre lost more than $776,000 in 2015, though town recreation and culture director Colin Service disputes that number. On a few recent occasions, he has suggested several hundred thousand dollars NTAG attributes to the theatre's deficit are actually shared recreation and culture depart-

mental costs - such as insurance and IT support - that would exist without the theatre. "Operational costs are the costs of operating a business," NTAG president Teena Bogner said. "Is it reasonable for the taxpayers to subsidize an underperforming facility such as the theatre? The theatre has been losing money for years. What has staff been doing to reverse this financial trend?

These are legitimate questions. Taxpayers are subsidizing this annual deficit." The theatres employ a total of four full-time and 10 to 15 parttime staff, Service said. "All part time staff work only during scheduled performances, events or rentals," he said. "As well, the additional (fourth) fulltime body was an existing staff member - duties were realigned so that no new full-time staff were needed to operate Old Town Hall." During its 2015-16 season, the Newmarket Theatre presented five shows and accommodated 20 rentals. There are currently seven performances booked for the Newmarket Theatre, and six for Old Town Hall, during the 2016-2017 season - though that number could increase because the schedule is still under development, Service said. He "hopes and expects" the Old Town Hall building will be revenue neutral in about one year. Old Town Hall was a popular community venue when it was closed down years ago, but its shutdown forced small theatre groups to run productions at

EDUCATION

Step back and let your children play TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com

Too much structured play is depriving your child of the opportunity to develop certain life skills. Unstructured play, also known as active play, is child led, spontaneous play, according to York Region Public Health nurse Carol Karner. Unlike organized sports or structured lessons, this type of play has no time limits, no rules to follow and no adult instruction. “The hardest challenge for a parent is to step back and let their child work things out,” Karner said. “But letting them play independently is beneficial to their development.” Something as simple as sending your child into the backyard to play independently or with friends not only gets them up and moving but also lets them use their imagination, problem solving skills, risk assessment, social skills and boost self-esteem. A child will find things outside to play with, use problem solving

skills when they decide what should come next, assess risk while climbing trees or balancing on a log and social skills are used to negotiate with friends while playing make believe. “Children love to be independent,” she added. “Schedule free time, go outside and let your child decide how they want to play.” Indoors, parents can encourage their children to dance or provide a “loose parts” bucket to encourage imaginative play. The education system has recognized the importance of free play and has increased playbased learning opportunities in the classroom, according to York Region District School Board curriculum consultant Shara-Lynn Fraser. The Council of Ministers of Education, Canada states there is now evidence that neural pathways in children’s brains are influenced by and advanced in their development through the exploration, thinking skills, problem solving and language expression that occur during play.

Children have a natural curiosity so when given the ability to make choices while building, drawing or playing make believe, they are further developing cognitive, physical, social and emotional skills, Fraser added. Parents could take a similar approach to educators by letting children lead but answering their questions, participating and listening during play. “For example, if a child has lined up a red block, then a blue, then a red followed by another blue, a parent can tell the child it is called a pattern,” she said. “Simply noticing and naming can help the child learn.” If a child falls while balancing on a rock, use that moment to speak about gravity. Stepping back from leading the child’s play doesn’t mean being absent. Ask your child questions, use descriptive language and create a dialogue to help the child learn while playing. When children are given the opportunity to play on their own without restrictions, they tend

‘History is actually pretty cool’ ● From front

GET INVOLVED

Cerenzia, chair of the historical society’s First World War centennial committee. “The reality is the interest in history is dying off,” she said. “If you are a historian or an avid history fan, we all have a responsibility to challenge ourselves to make that history exciting and entice the younger generations to learn more. History is actually pretty cool. The advancements in technology and medicine, the understanding of mental health and shell shock, came out of really horrific experiences (in the war). Just because history is something you read in a textbook doesn’t mean it has to stay there.” The trench also includes artifacts from historical society and private collections. Part of the display is dedicated to recreating a ‘typical’ war-era Newmarket home and there’s also a video of the local 127th Battalion marching down Main and Botsford streets, past Old Town Hall, prior to its deployment to Europe. There’s even a section on the role animals played in the war effort. More than 470 Newmarket residents enlisted during the war and about 85 were killed in action. With a population of only a few thousand people at the time, almost every Newmarket family had a participant - and thus a direct link - in the war, Cerenzia said. “The soldiers who went overseas in the war had a huge frontline experience and impact, but life still carried on here in Canada,” she said. “For women in particular, it was an incredible time for us. We got the right to vote and all our men left and we were responsible to keeping society going, running the homes and taking on jobs, things that weren’t really available to women before. When you see these people (marching) down the streets you travel along every day, you really realize, even though it was a hundred years ago, there were people in this space just like today. It’s important to have that human element as much as you can. They’re everyday people who went out and fought for a really important reason and made a huge difference and gave their lives.” Newmarket women also raised money to purchase an ambulance for the war effort and they often sent care packages to soldiers overseas. Meanwhile, Pickering College became a military hospital and it was common to see soldiers and nurses sitting on the school lawn, Cerenzia said. Admission is free and the display will open Mondays to Saturdays from noon to 8 p.m., though it will close at 5:45 p.m. on Nov. 16. The trench should be manned by a volunteer, who can answer questions about the war and the town’s role in it. However, groups that want to visit the trench at a specific time can contact the society at newmarkethistoricalsociety@ hotmail.ca. Old Town Hall is at 460 Botsford.

groups to run productions at Newmarket Theatre, which is too big for their needs. Those groups will now relocate back to Old Town Hall, freeing up Newmarket Theatre for more revenue-generating opportunities, Van Bynen said. Newmarket Theatre’s operating deficit is consistent with similar sized, municipally-run venues in other jurisdictions, Service said. “Our mandate remains the same, which is to provide quality professional entertainment experiences to the residents of Newmarket and beyond,” he said. “We have an opportunity to do that in a fiscally responsible way and we’ll continue to do that. Can we do better? Sure, and we will. We’re working toward that.” Newmarket Theatre, which operates as a partnership between the town and York Region District School Board, is in the midst of a business model makeover. As part of the plan, town staff are booking professional acts, transitioning the online ticketing system to a more user-friendly version that would allow for immediate printing capabilities and implementing a comprehensive marketing strategy, sponsorship recruitment and retention program and new brand, among other initiatives. The shift also means the stage area at Old Town Hall will be used to accommodate most community theatre productions, as well as special events such as award ceremonies, galas and weddings.

The thousands of programs that aim to help impoverished children are small pieces of a much larger puzzle.

Parents need more money in their pockets Growing Up Poor: Child Poverty in Ontario TODD VANDONK tvandonk@mykawartha.com The thousands of programs that aim to help impoverished children are small pieces of a much larger puzzle. "There is no question that child poverty is a growing challenge in York Region," said Newmarket Regional Councillor John Taylor. "Certainly, we know that addressing child poverty means addressing family poverty." The Human Services Planning Board is looking at addressing family poverty by tackling issues such as the need to provide more affordable housing and more rental housing and addressing precarious employment and under-employment. "Ensuring families find stable employment is the first step to lifting children out of poverty," said Taylor, who is chair of York Region's Community and Health Services Committee and co-chair of the Human Services Planning Board.

Growing Up Poor: Child Poverty in Ontario Growing Up Poor: Child Poverty in Ontario is a Metroland Media Special Investigative Series, by reporters Jonathan Zettel, Reka Szekely, Todd Vandonik and Melinda Cheevers, that spotlights child poverty and to looks behind it to reveal problems and identify solutions There are provincewide initiatives to ensure children don't go hungry, receive dental care and access to recreational and educational programs, but politicians and advocates say eliminating childhood poverty comes down to ensuring parents have an adequate income. "A family having sufficient income is one of the ways we can reduce child poverty," explains Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal. He says the Ontario Child Benefit is the cornerstone of Ontario's poverty reduction strategy for children. In 2015,

the provincial government increased the maximum child benefit to $1,336 per child under the age of 18. "One million children in 500,000 low- to moderate-income families are benefitting from this," he said, noting the province is putting money in the pockets of families by continuing to raise minimum wage. On Oct. 1, minimum wage was increased from $11.25 to $11.40 per hour. "We'll continue to do that every October based on the Ontario Consumer Index Price," he says. The MPP says the province also has approximately 4,000 different programs offering nutritious breakfast, lunches and snacks. "The ability to succeed in school means you have to start the day with a great breakfast and many folks think that is the most important meal of the day," he explains, noting an estimated 800,000 children take advantage of the programs. Healthy Smiles, a provincially-funded program, services approximately 460,000 children with free preventive, routine, and emergency dental services for children and youths 17 and

under from low-income households. At the federal level, the Liberal government replaced current Canada Child Tax Benefit, National Child Benefit and Universal Child Care Benefit with one child benefit that will put more money in wallets of lowand middle-income families as of July, 2016. The program will pay up to $6,400 per child under six and up to $5,400 per child for those aged six through 17. Higher earners will receive less money under the child benefit. "This is an initiative that will lift 100,000 children out of poverty and will benefit nine out of 10 Canadian families," Peterborough MP Maryam Monsef says. "It is going to be tied to income so that it provides the greatest support to those that need the help the most." Monsef says poverty is not just about dollars and having food on the table, but also having a dignified roof over your head. Part of the Liberal Party's election platform was promising $20 billion over 10 years for social infrastructure. "These investments will prioritize affordable housing," she explains. "It will also provide supports to municipalities to

maintain rent-geared-to-income subsidy." She adds bringing back the long form census would allow a more accurate measure poverty across Canada. "Knowledge is power," she says. Municipalities, too, do what they can to help feed lowincome families and subsidize recreational and educational programs. "You want kids to be healthy and have opportunities to make friends and socialize," said Diane Therrien, city councillor and facilitator of Community Education and Engagement for the Peterborough Poverty Reduction Network, adding, "But everything is little pieces to the bigger puzzle." Therrien says these programs are helpful but are not solutions. "It remains a fact if their parents are living in poverty - they (children) are going to be living in poverty," she said, noting an estimated 20 per cent of children in Peterborough are living in poverty. "The idea that when you are walking by a playground and there are 100 kids there, quite a few of them are living in poverty is scary." - with files from Lisa Queen

Newmarket boy stars in ‘empowering’ SickKids ad campaign Hartley Bernier, 7, has battled Hirschsprung’s disease since birth CHRIS SIMON csimon@yrmg.com

Hartley Bernier is one of Newmarket's newest young stars. The seven-year-old has a leading role in SickKids Foundation's new VS marketing campaign, which includes television ads and dozens of posters placed around Toronto. The controversial campaign aims to show past and present patients fighting illness in a strong and empowered light. The symbolism of the commercial, and its fight scenes, is strong. Some of the kids don war paint; others are placed on a battlefield alongside soldiers. There are elements of boxing and wrestling and weightlifting and the kids metaphorically take on ailments ranging from liver failure and heart disease to cancer and autism. Family members can be seen cheering in the background at times. "I thought it was awesome," Hartley said, of seeing his ad for the first time. "It's the sickest commercial I've ever seen, but in a good way." During Hartley's spot, he's rolled into an operating room on a gurney and paddles are placed on his chest. He is revived and eventually stands strong. The campaign has generated plenty of attention since it was introduced a

few weeks ago. While some patients and families have accused SickKids of using an inappropriate battle metaphor, Hartley's father Daniel believes the campaign shows the kids through a tough and rarely-utilized lens. A hardened warrior's viewpoint comes out of experience - Hartley was born at Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket, but after being unable to pass stool normally, he was transferred to SickKids. After three weeks, Hartley was diagnosed with Hirschsprung's disease, a congenital condition that affects the large intestine. In this particular case, Hartley was suffering from intestinal failure. It's a disease he'll battle for the rest of his life. "Our SickKids journey started the day he was born," Daniel said, noting Hartley's mom Ashley's pregnancy and delivery were normal. Hartley spent about 100 consecutive days at SickKids. He has been monitored closely by SickKids' Group for Improvement of Intestinal Function and Treatment (GIFT) team, the first formal multidisciplinary squad in Canada dedicated to the treatment and research of intestinal failure in children. They've treated his emergencies and monitored his progress. "We lived at the hospital," Daniel said. "During that time, we got introduced to his team that has followed him ever since. Before (GIFT) started, only 30 per cent of kids were making it past three (years old). There was a really slim chance for kids like Hartley. Now, they've completely reversed the fortunes and 98 per cent

of patients are surviving. They're a huge reason why he's here. "There's a huge group of kids where this is a regular part of who they are; many of them were in that commercial. We feel like we owe the hospital so much; to give our time to spreading awareness of the amazing work they do. It's important to us. They've helped make his (disease) just a part of our lives, not our entire existence." Hartley's undergone about 15 surgeries so far. GIFT taught Daniel and Ashley to provide proper home treatment - training that dramatically cuts down on the amount of time they spend at SickKids. They work as a team to complete Hartley's necessary daily tasks such as changing IVs and ostomy bags and, as a result, he lives a relatively normal life now. Hartley only visits SickKids on a weekly or bi-weekly basis these days. But Hartley also realizes the importance of the hospital. He began volunteering for the SickKids ambassador program, which helps chronic patients participate in fundraising and advocacy initiatives on behalf of the facility and he's participated in Dairy Queen Miracle Treat Day and appeared on Virgin Radio. So when the opportunity to work on the VS campaign arose, he enthusiastically joined in. Hartley's brother, Hudson, 5, is also in the commercial. He has used the kids' therapeutic service as SickKids. "He lived his whole life with Hartley's chronic illness and he's seen some emergency situations," Dan-

Newmarket’s Hartley Bernier, 7, stars in the new SickKids VS marketing campaign. iel said. "He has feelings about all this stuff that we go through as a family. He's been doing some support through the hospital. "He's always been a sidekick to Hart. It was almost perfect Hudson got to do this in the campaign. It was a great experience to be part of an empowering thing. It told such a huge story in such and effective way.

It took us all back. When Hartley was on the table with those paddles, I gasped because it looked so real." The commercial debuted during the Toronto Maple Leafs home opener in October and the family invited some guests to their home for a meal of Chinese food that night. Hartley and Hudson stayed up late and, when the commercial came

on, they danced and jumped around in excitement. "It's not the typical commercial you're used to seeing, where people change the channel because it's really hard to watch," Ashley said. For more information on the hospital, visit sickkids. ca. - with files from Torstar News Service

EDITORIAL | OPINION

• OUR VIEW •

Poverty is here

his is where it starts: sometime this month - or maybe next - a mid-size company in the GTA is pushed to outsource a department to stay viable. A person loses a job. At first, he finds freelance work, then temporary manual labour gigs. Then, nothing. A single parent, he looks at starting his own business, but that would require an infusion of cash. Or retraining, but that, too, would cost money, and leave the household without an income for an extended period of time. The first things to go are the luxuries - TV packages, smartphones, music lessons. The SUV is traded in for a used compact car. Next come some harder choices - running the washing machine less often to save on hydro and water, fewer trips to the grocery store supplemented with items from the local food bank. One day - and then the next - both kids go to school without breakfast. These are the faces of child poverty in our communities. In a Metroland special investigative series, reporters from community papers across southern Ontario examine the issue of child poverty, which may at first blush not be visible in affluent areas such as York Region.

SEAN PEARCE From the Newsroom

Mental health: we can do better

‘Make no mistake: child poverty is family poverty, and it is a cycle we need to break.’ They present research that says more than 370,000 Ontario children (or 13.8 per cent) lived in a low-income household in 2013, only slightly better than the national average of 14.3 per cent. They also found that more than 800,000 students take part in more than 4,000 school meal programs across the province. Included in the articles are interviews with educators, food bank workers and politicians. The series has been running in our Thursday print editions. Food banks and breakfast programs are busy. And we have no idea how many don’t seek out assistance because of the stigma attached to poverty. Certainly, initiatives such as the recent changes to the Child Tax Benefit program will help address the problem. As well, accurate, detailed information garnered through the recently restored long-form Census will aid in creating a focused poverty plan. But it could be years before such strategies bear fruit. Other avenues that need to be explored include economic development initiatives that focus on maintaining - and creating - local jobs, investments in training and seeking out ways to help Ontario Works clients secure meaningful employment without worrying about clawbacks to benefits. Most of all, students need to learn life skills and strategies that will help put them on a path to a successful future. Make no mistake: child poverty is family poverty, and it is a cycle we need to break. We all have a part to play. Let’s get to it.

• SAYING IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA • A round-up of reaction online

The story: Wynne ‘worried’ about Trump threat to Ontario economy I’m more worried about what Wynne is doing to the Ontario economy every day. Roy Fraser Just like her, strategically start using Trump as a scapegoat!! Ontarians are not that stupid #kathleenwynne this is your house you left a giant mess, now be a good girl and clean it UP!!! Juliann Dineen Of course Wynne is worried. She saw a corrupt person lose even though they spent millions to defeat a guy with no experience. She needs to go to jail. Rick Gisenough Why? What kind of kick-back was she getting from the trade deals? There must be something illegal for her to be worried about it. Jim Lynch As if they haven’t done enough damage to us Canadians already? Gtfo Amanda Lear Wynne should leave!!

Sue Dault Macaulay

Wynne is a threat to Ontario, and should resign.

Joel Clements

Well...like or dislike Wynne...Trump did, in fact, threaten to “rip up” the NAFTA. Which is more than half of our export from Ontario to the States, with surplus Hydro being sold to the States. And before people jump on the Hydro band wagon. This is Hydro that Ontario is unable to store, so US buys it up. Hopefully Trump was just spouting off!!!! Janice Walker

• LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Train whistle ban waste of time, money Re: Aurora considers blowing whistle on GO Transit train horns, Oct. 7. Dear council members, I know you are thinking you doing the right thing regarding the train’s whistles, but before you go and spend tens of thousands of dollars and the town’s time have you looked to the past? History repeats itself. I hate to bring up the old saying, but do you know what the definition of insanity is? Doing the same thing over and over again and looking for a different outcome. 1) We had this discussion in 2008; did you look at the outcome from this? 2) Did you look at town committee meetings reports from this? 3) Did you look at town meeting minutes regarding this? 4) Did you look at what was sent to the town for CN Rail, GO etc? 5) Did you look at old media reports from the Era banner? 6) Did you read any letters from concerned citizens pro and opposed? 7) Did you look at what other towns did in 2008? 8) Did you see what the 2008 inquiry cost the town in 2008? 9) Did you look at minutes from the regional meetings? 10) What was the outcome of 2008? 11) Why do you think you have the answer now? 12) How much money and time are you going to spend rehashing the same subject we went through in 2008? Have you done your homework? Let me say I was born with a plethora of common sense, and the following is true: If you do not like train whistles, do not move near train tracks. If you do not like jet engine sounds, do not move near an airport. If you do not like subway trains, do not move near a subway line. It’s pretty clear based on where you are going, it’s down the wrong path. Concerned citizen regarding wasting town’s time and money. Jamie Lill Aurora

Continue to report on impaired driving Re: FROM THE NEWSROOM: Impaired driving: Are we doing enough?, Oct. 3. As a survivor of a car crash caused by an impaired driver, I feel compelled to respond to the article posted on yorkregion.com on Oct. 3, 2016 where you questioned the need to identify and publish the names of drivers charged with impaired driving. It is my opinion that the news media should be fully engaged in reporting all incidences of impaired driving including the names of the accused. Over the last few years, there has been a growing sentiment that drinking and driving is becoming less socially acceptable. Helping to drive this change has been government regulations tightening up the laws backed up by effective law enforcement. The media have been an important part of this process by publishing stories, thereby keeping the message in the public’s mind. Your paper’s decision to continue to publish stories on impaired driving adds to the momentum in shifting the paradigm of social acceptance of impaired driving. A similar change in societal attitudes towards impaired driving parallels the change in societal attitudes 20 years ago toward smoking. At that time, smoking without restrictions as to where and when you could light up was the norm. Remember the

ashtrays located in airplane arm rests? Today, societal acceptance of impaired driving is in a rapid decline as it was a decade ago with the social acceptance of smoking. Clearly, there is work yet to be done to help harden our societies disapproval towards this negative behaviour as evidenced by the continuance of impaired driving statistics. The media should be encouraged to continue to report on this societal menace and thereby hasten the social rejection of this behaviour. It worked for the social smoking problem, let’s make it work for the impaired driving problem. Paul Brown Ottawa

Dialogue around academic, applied learning welcome Re: Ontario’s education system must set students up for success, Oct. 20. I applaud the dialogue around academic vs. applied learning and hope that the dialog will include an improved appreciation for ‘applied study’ leading to skills and knowledge development in what we think of as ‘the trades’. This type of study is particularly beneficial for young people who have an interest and aptitude in ‘applied learning’ and who hope to benefit from the many and lucrative career opportunities in the trades. Part of the discussion will relate to whether a student, their parents, their teachers/principals and other caring professionals have enough knowledge of a young person’s interests and aptitudes by grade 8 or whether a first ‘general year’ for all students in high school is needed before selecting an area of focus. With the loss of Grade 13 (and limited funding for credits), that would leave less time for study in the chosen area of focus before moving on to a postsecondary institution. It is debatable whether the additional time would provide beneficial information to the team helping with the decisions involved given that high school staff would have less than one school year to get to know the student before a decision would be made.

Mental illness is, perhaps, the most convincing evidence we have of the concept of mind over matter. After all, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder or any number of ailments, can hinder the most energetic and otherwise fit individual or render them unable to complete even the most mundane of everyday tasks. Gradually, societal views have evolved, for the most part, to recognize that mental afflictions should be treated as seriously as those that target the body. And yet, our public health care system continues to lag when it comes to treating ailments of the mind. Last month, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health president, Dr. Catherine Zahn, challenged the federal and provincial governments to commit more resources toward mental health treatment and research. According to a Canadian Press story that appeared on yorkregion.com, Zahn called on government leaders to provide greater access to structured psychotherapy, which has proven a valuable tool in the treatment of anxiety and depression, and to make it a publicly funded service.

...mental health care issues should simply be treated as health care issues. The suggestion sounds expensive - and it would be - but Zahn asks us to consider that mental health issues cost our economy an estimated $51 billion annually and receive just a tiny fraction of the funds allocated for health care. Furthermore, one in five Canadians will battle a mental illness at some point in their lifetime. Anyone who has experienced a mental illness, or known a friend or loved one who has, will likely tell you that accessing care is nowhere near as straightforward a path as it is when dealing with a physical malady. Resources aren’t always readily available, many of them are costly and it’s not always easy to know where to begin. Many general practitioners attempt to help by prescribing medication, but this isn’t always followed up with referrals to counsellors and therapists who could provide additional support. A combination of medication and psychotherapy is often needed. Politicians have verbally supported better access to support, but any discussion on the subject ultimately devolves into haggling over who will pay for what. The time has come to make a tangible commitment to improving how our system treats these afflictions, because mental health care issues should simply be treated as health care issues.

Saving Lake Simcoe: Slaight honoured for ‘life's work’ HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com

Renowned publishing pioneer Annabel Slaight can now add watershed hero to her long list of accolades after receiving the top honour at the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) Awards last week. "Sometimes, I can cause a bit of a stir," Slaight said after being presented the George R. Richardson Conservation Award of Honour Nov. 3 in Newmarket. That is a bit of an understatement. So, too, is merely saying the OWL magazine co-founder - who helped children develop a love for the environment and science through what became a multi-media entity - is committed to helping save Lake Simcoe and its watershed. Indeed, Slaight was recognized for her "tireless and life-long dedication to the environment," Aurora mayor and LSRCA chairperson Geoffrey Dawe said. Instrumental in both the Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition and eventual passing of the Lake Simcoe Protection Act, Slaight is the co-founder of the Ladies of the Lake and founding

"It (MOBYSS) addresses some of the real concerns we have in terms of responding to mental wellness needs for Canadians," she said. "One of the challenges is often accessing care.

The mobile clinic brings mental and physical health services directly to high schools, youth shelters and community centres, so youth with hindered or limited access have the means to receive health care.

ReWilding projects, the SPLASH Festival, the book Do Fish Fart and the ClearWater Farm initiative in Willow Beach followed. Honoured by the award, Slaight added it is really for all citizens of Lake Simcoe and credited the many people working, volunteering and adding their efforts to the cause. She thanked the kids who were involved in the creation of the OWL empire and recent Do Fish Fart book for the "great things that can happen when you listen to kids".

LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan and even parts of Whitchurch-Stouffville and King should be amalgamated into one city. That's a pitch being put forward by Markham Regional Councillor Jim Jones, who is asking city council later this month to consider the idea of setting up a meeting of councillors to debate the idea and to conduct a feasibility study. "I want to open the discussion," said Jones, who said an amalgamation could first kick off with merging services such as fire protection before leading to a political merger. "The first thing is let's have the meeting to see if there is an opportunity. It might not go anyplace. There could be parochialism, turf, people (who) don't want to change because they don't want to upset their own homeostasis. I'm just saying if we are in this for more than just our job, that we're in there for the long term for the benefit of our municipality and our taxpayers, then we have to look at these merits." Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan are already home to three quarters of York Region's population and are growing closer together as the region increases by another 700,000 residents by 2041, Jones said. One city would mean one fire department, one recre-

Jim Jones ation department, one planning department among other services, he said. "We have to be more efficient and more effective," said Jones, who is introducing the idea as part of a region-wide discussion now taking place on governance issues such as directly electing councillors to regional council and boosting the ranks of regional council to give municipalities at least two representatives. "We're duplicating a lot of services. I'm saying let's look at the opportunities. Instead of growing more politicians." One city would also have more clout politically, Jones said. "I think Toronto would have a lot more respect if they are facing a community on the north, a city that is (a population of)

one million versus 300,000 (residents in Markham), 300,000 (residents in Vaughan) and 220,000 (residents in Richmond Hill). (It would no longer be) divide and conquer," he said. In addition to amalgamating the three southern municipalities, Jones suggested basing the new city on Oak Ridges Moraine watershed planning, which would mean parts of Whitchurch-Stouffville and King could be folded into the new city. "I've had members of Stouffville council say one day they expect to be part of Markham," he said, although he wouldn't identify who. Jones said he hasn't given much thought to the future of the regional level of government, which provides a wide variety of services such as policing, public transportation, regional roads and public health, but said he's inclined to preserve it. Although Markham Regional Councillor Nirmala Armstrong has seconded Jones' notice of motion, at least one other member of his council is opposed to the idea of amalgamation. "I'm not in favour of it. I think these are extraneous to the work we have to do (such as) obviously, working on better transportation and all sorts of major issues. How we organize ourselves is, in my view, something that is far less important than getting on with the job," Deputy Mayor Jack Heath said.

"I think the structure we have works. I always explain that the big items are at the region and local items that are closer to the population are at the lowertier municipalities and I think it works. There are things you want to improve here or there but I don't think you want to throw the baby out with the bath water."

“We have to be more efficient and more effective. We’re duplicating a lot of services. I’m saying let’s look at the opportunities. Instead of growing more politicians.”

–Jim Jones

Regional chair Wayne Emmerson said he had no comment on Jones' idea at this time. Former Markham regional councillor Fred Cox remembers seemingly endless debates about governance in York Region about the time Toronto's six municipalities amalgamated into one city in 1998. He advocated for the region to be turned into one city as a way of streamlining services and saving taxpayers money before talk of municipal restructuring eventually fizzled out.

CATHOLIC FRENCH IMMERSION PROGRAMS

"It goes back to what I was saying 20 years ago. There is just too much government for what we really need. I think we proved 20 years ago the millions of dollars we could save," he said during a phone interview from Florida. "My speech was instead of nine city halls, you have one city hall. Instead of nine planning commissioners, you have one planning commissioner. You have one legal counsel as opposed nine. From an economic point of view, it absolutely crazy, the region should have one economic development department as opposed to now, there is about nine economic development departments. Now, Markham goes to China. The next week, Vaughan goes to China, the next week Richmond Hill. That's very expensive." Cox isn't hopeful York politicians will be any less parochial about cutting government today than they were years ago.

Seasoned break-and-enter artist arrested with collector items: police

Kenneth McMillan, 40, from Vaughan, arrested, charged by York police JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com A man with a history of break and enter charges, fleeing police and breaking the conditions of his bail has again been charged with breaking and entering. So many items were

found upon entry into the man's home, according to police, that the force has made its own online album containing historical Canadian, European and Asian coins, dating back to at least 1871, and jewelry, hoping the real owners will come forward and claim the collectables. In August 2016, police began investigating the original Stouffville theft before finally placing the man under arrest Oct. 25, at which point the items were discovered. A search of

his priors shows a laundry list of charges for similar offences. In 2013, he was charged with five counts of breakand-enter and one count of fleeing from police. In 2015, he was charged with 12 counts of shoplifting and breaching recognizance and probation and in 2016, he was charged with break and enter, possession of stolen property and breach of probation, something he had been winding his way through court for prior to being arrested.

Police handout

York police are looking for the owners of these coins.

His crimes have allegedly been committed throughout Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Markham.

Kenneth McMillan, 40, from Vaughan, has also been charged with possession of property obtained by crime and breach of probation in relation to an entry into a home at Ninth Line and St. John's Sideroad, in Whitchurch-Stouffville. He is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Newmarket Dec. 2. Police are urging residents to call police to report any suspicious activity in neighbourhoods and have historically warned residents that break-ins often

occur when the seasons change, causing darkness to fall earlier. "Break and enters are often a crime of opportunity," said Const. Andy Pattenden. "The more difficult you make it for thieves to break into your home, the more likely it is that they will move along." If you recognize property as yours, or if you have information, contact York Regional Police at 1-866-8765423, ext.7542, or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS.

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

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

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

Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

CRIME

Markham murder linked to burning car: reports

Kong Wu Wang, 50, from Toronto, found in gutter near Pacific Mall JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com The shooting of a 50-year-old male, discovered in a Markham gutter, is believed by investigators to be organized crimerelated. Kong Wu Wang, discovered at 5:40 a.m. Nov. 6, was known to police, according to a source. That assertion comes on the heels of another report linking the shooting to a car stolen from a male at a strip mall near Finch and Midland avenues, although York police's corporate communications would not confirm that. The media report went on to say the victim's car was set alight near Don Mills and Steeles Avenue, a blaze caught by former yorkregion.com photographer Sjoerd Witteveen, who snapped a photograph of a Toyota Rav-4 engulfed by flames at 9:15 a.m. on Simonston Boulevard. Wang's body was found in front of an abandoned white house beside an industrial style business at Old Kennedy and Celadine Drive. At the early morning scene people spoke out about their shock. Dave Grant said he's not very fond of the ramshackle looking landscape company and large white abandon house beside it, where the body was found. However he also explained that the neighbourhood is largely a peaceful place. "It's a quiet neighbourhood, the only thing you ever have concern about is getting hit by a car," said Grant, who has lived nearby for seven years. Police interviewed one man, who told yorkregion.com he arrived at the scene at around 5 a.m., but saw nothing. "I was resting in my car waiting to go inside to work when police came up to me and started asking me what's going on, what I saw," he said, refusing to give his name. "I don't know anything." Michelle Lin, mother of two, holding her one-year-old baby, said it made her nervous to see this sort of activity in the neighbourhood. "I sent my son to school this morning and saw this," she

said. "It's quiet here, mostly a Chinese neighbourhood." Benny Siba, who owns a nearby scrap yard, said he's been in the neighbourhood for 25 years and has never seen anything like this before. "This is so strange, I want to know more, but the police aren't saying anything," he added. In the course of the investigation a man and a woman were arrested on immigration warrants. Police are seeking video from at least one surveillance camera situated near the site. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Homicide Unit at 1-866-876-5423 ext. 7865, or email the Homicide Unit at homicide@yrp.ca, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, or leave an anonymous tip online at www.1800222tips.com, or text your tip to CRIMES (274637) starting with the word YORK

COMMUNITY

Memorial arrangements made for long-time politician Wheeler LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com Memorial arrangements have been made for Danny Wheeler, the longest-serving member of Georgina and York Region councils, who died Nov. 1 at the age of 69. Visitations will be held in the Egypt Hall at 6756 Smith Blvd., Pefferlaw on Nov. 10 from 1 to 5 p.m. and Nov. 11 from 6 to 9 p.m. A memorial service will be held in the Great Hall of York Region's headquarters on Nov. 12 at 1 p.m. A day after Georgina council honoured Wheeler in its council chambers Nov. 2, regional councillors remembered him at a committee meeting. "Danny was Georgina. Danny was York Region. He poured his heart and soul into our communities and he did it with passion, energy, humour and quick wit," said regional chair Wayne Emmerson. "A true gentleman and

Danny Wheeler an experienced politician. The interests of the people and the communities he served remained his number one priority. Danny's legacy will be deeply embedded within our communities, not only in Georgina, but right across our great region." Councillors from across York remembered Wheeler's integrity, kind personality and sense of humour. "It's a loss for our community, as they benefitted

from his years of dedicated service," Georgina Mayor Margaret Quirk said, pointing out he served for 11 consecutive terms on Georgina council, dating back to 1982. "Danny was here when (Georgina) was still a township, so it could be said that first there was Danny Wheeler and then there was the Town of Georgina." Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Barrow praised the sharp mind, wit and razor-sharp memory of Wheeler, who was on regional council since 1988. Wheeler will be remembered for his commitment to environmental concerns, as he served on the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, said Aurora Mayor Geoff Dawe, who chairs the authority. Wheeler's dedication to public service rose above his physical disability, Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti said. "I know that many

know that he was an incredible public servant and that his confinement to a wheelchair was no barrier to anything he wanted to do," he said. "I think that's what inspired us about him. His dedication and commitment for everything that we put up with, or think we put up with, as public servants, he took all in stride. It was just a pleasure for him to be able to tackle issues. He came prepared to meetings. He knew his stuff." Wheeler was a devoted member of the police services board, which he chaired from 2007 to 2012, said Scarpitti, the current chair. Wheeler had also served as chair of the region's accessibility advisory committee. "I must say his contributions to that committee were inspiring," Richmond Hill Councillor Vito Spatafora said. "He did make a serious contribution in the sense that he showed there are

feedback they received made it clear that there was a need for such a service in the region. "We talked to them (youth) and we heard over and over that youth couldn't access services," Shields said. "We knew they said it's too hard to get around York Region, so we put it together by listening to those who needed the service." At $150 per visit, MOBYSS is funded by a variety of sources which includes the provincial government, corporations, individual and family donations and fundraising initiatives. "We're always looking for sustainable funding to expand services," Shields said. "We know there is a need because of lineups at high schools."

of our board members when I distinguish him as a gentleman and an authentic voice for his community. Danny was thoughtful and brought insight and wisdom to every decision and discussion at the LSRCA boardroom table. We will sincerely miss him." In the 1980s, Wheeler was involved in the development of the Lake Simcoe Environmental Management Strategy, which was the forerunner to the current, landmark Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, LSRCA CAO Mike Walters said. "As a board member and advocate of the work that we do here at the conservation authority, he was always prepared with sound advice and direction and I have always considered him to exemplify what it truly means to be a public servant. His passing is a huge loss for the conservation authority and I know the same will be felt by all who knew him."

"What we're learning is that young people are very self-aware that they need mental health support," Shields said. "Our ground-breaking clinic is providing life-saving support for youth in our catchment area. We'd like to see similar initiatives in other communities." MOBYSS is staffed with a nurse practitioner, a mental health counsellor and a peer support specialist, who together provide "holistic and barrier-free" medical, sexual and mental health care seven days a week. The idea came out of feedback from focus groups organized by CMHA. Shields says the

Historic Stouffville Country Market shutting its doors

Vendors reflect on 64 years SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com

It's the end of an era in Stouffville. The Stouffville Country Market announced Sunday, Nov. 6 it will cease operating at the end of the year. The market has long been living on borrowed time. When owner Norm Clements sold the property to a developer 11 years ago, it was hard to imagine the market would stick around this long. On a sunny November morning when the closure was announced, the mood at the market was solemn. Vendors grappled with the idea of closing up for good in six weeks time. That's not a lot of time when you've been working at the market for more than 40 years like Paul Vella. He was there Sunday as he has been every Sunday for as long as he can remember selling produce. "It's too bad we are closing but what can you do," he said. "Everything good comes to end." Vella said the people of Stouffville are going to miss the place on 10th Line that is a community hub and tourist attraction. Mark Hefferin from Country Choice Meats has been working at the market since he was in public school. "That's 23 years, if you're counting," he said, while busy slicing up steaks to serve a loyal customer. "A lot of the customers have been here since I started." Hefferin said he plans on going to custom freezer orders when the market shuts down. While the past decade of the market wouldn't be described as its glory years, vendor Wanda Hall said it still had some of the magic that had the place jampacked years ago. Hall has been at the market for 25 years. She's been operating the mini-donut trailer for the last 10. "I'm sad. It has been a long time and I have made friends that I hope I keep forever," she said. "We all knew it was coming. Flea markets are a dying breed." Hall certainly noticed a significant decrease in customers over the years as the farming community around Stouffville increasingly transformed into suburban neighbourhoods. "Oh it isn't the same as it use to be. People used to line up at 7 a.m. to get a spot," she said. When the barn and the livestock auction left so did a lot of the customers, she said. Market manager Gary Rouse said Clements informed the vendors were informed of the closure Saturday night.

Simon Martin/Metroland

Paul Vella has been manning the produce stand at the Stouffville Country Market for more than 40 years. On Sunday Nov. 6, the market announced it is closing down at the end of the year.

He said Sunday, Dec. 18 will be the last operating day for the market. "It's sad for a lot of people," Rouse said. During his 14 years as manager, Rouse has seen how much the historically significant market has meant to people in the community. The market and the vendors have been fortunate to get so many years out of the site after it was sold 11 years ago, Rouse said. After the property was sold, Rouse said the market had just a twoyear lease. "We got nine extra years," he said. The market posted a message on its Facebook page Sunday morning announcing the closure and thanking the community who supported it. "It is with great sadness that we are announcing the permanent closing of the Stouffville Country Market. Sunday, Dec. 18 will be our last day, bringing to an end 64 full years of business. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our loyal customers who have supported us over the years, without you it would not have been possible. We would also like to thank the thousands of vendors we have had over the years, you are the ones who made this market unlike any other. As the building will be torn down, we are selling everything in it including; restaurant equipment, fixtures, pictures, etc. So anyone interested in owning a piece of the market's history should come by in the next six weeks. Thanks again to everyone involved in making the Stouffville Country Market great, and an important piece of Stouffville 's history!"

Aurora Eagles’ Cami Ormond runs away with OFSAA title

Grade 10 student strikes gold;

the teams met earlier in King City. The Lions secured a playoff berth at the Tier 1 level last Friday on the strength of a 22-2 win over Villanova Knights. The other semifinal promises to be an interesting matchup as St. Max rolls out the welcome mat Nov. 10 for the Bill Crothers Colts. The game is a rematch of an opening week matchup in which the Mustangs rallied for a 14-7 home-field victory. Both semifinal games are slated for 2 p.m. starts.

JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com There is just no running from Cami Ormond. The Aurora High School student made it back-to-back provincial high school gold medals in cross-country Saturday by winning the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association girls junior race in Port Hope. Ormond loped to victory by a margin of 16 seconds ahead of Northern Secondary School's Alexandra Weir in the 4,200metre race. The Grade 10 student, who clocked in at 15 minutes and 23 seconds, burst on the scene as a Grade 9 student last year by winning the cross-country title at the midget level. She maintained her dominance in distance events by winning at 1,500 and 3,000 metres in the spring track season. Ormond was joined at the top of the podium by Newmarket High School's Nick Mota. Competing in the boys junior category, Mota finished three seconds ahead of runnerup Joshua Zelek of Stratford Central in a time of 19:24. In fact, the top three finishers were separated by only five seconds. Eliza-Jane Boston of St. Maximilian Kolbe claimed a silver medal in the girls midget division, finishing four seconds off the pace set by Haley Davis of Guelph's John F. Ross Collegiate.

Mulock Ravens bring it home There's no place like home. Sir William Mulock Ravens swept matches against Sacred Heart Crusaders and Maple Timberwolves Thursday to lock up first place in the North Division and secure home-court advantage for the play-in round in boys senior volleyball. The Ravens will host a fourteam pool Nov. 14 as top seed after nailing down the North title with a 9-1 record, including their wins over the Crusaders (25-16, 25-18) and Timberwolves (25-19, 25-19). Dr. G.W. Williams Wildcats also pounced on Maple (5-5) for a 25-15, 25-16 triumph to improve to 8-2 and second place in the North. The Wildcats pawed aside Sacred Heart Crusaders 22-25, 25-18, 15-12 to complete their sweep of two matches. Aurora Eagles, who finished with a 6-4 record to finish in third spot, are also playoff-bound. Other host sites are Pierre Elliot Trudeau and Richmond Hill High School.

Warriors, Mustangs in host roles The Huron Heights Warriors and St. Maximilian Kolbe Mustangs line up as favourites when York Region Athletic Association boys senior football playoffs kick off Nov. 10 and 11. For the Warriors, who finished with a 6-0 record, it is an opportunity to make a 13th consecutive regional final appearance when they host the King City Lions on Nov. 11 in Newmarket. The Warriors pounced all over the Lions by a 55-6 count when

Huskies gain hoops bye Denison Huskies joined Newmarket Raiders as teams with the best seats in the house for last night's YRAA girls senior basketball quarter-final playoff games. The Huskies rode a 48-16 rout of the Sacred Heart Crusaders Monday into a second-place finish in the final standings for the six-team league and a bye into the semifinal round Nov. 15.

Aurora Eagles' Cami Ormond is first to the finish line during the girls junior race at the OFSAA cross-country championships held Saturday. The win, combined with a 53-33 victory by St. Maximilian Kolbe Mustangs over Bayview Bengals, pushed the Huskies to 7-3 and ahead of the Bengals (6-4). Denison will face the win-

ner of a quarter-final matchup between Bayview and winless Sir William Mulock Ravens. The Raiders, who will be shooting for a fifth straight regional title, will tip off against

PACE soccer program offers competitive alternative Soccer club offers complement to club programs, says Speller

under-16 team finished its inaugural season second in its eight-team league and reached the semifinal in the Ontario Cup play. "It's a very good quality league and took a while for the players to get up to the pace," said Chris Speller, who served as head coach last season. "We came from nothing to respectable." The CAF program, which bills itself as Canada's premier soccer academy development league, is registered under the North York Soccer Association and is sanctioned by the Ontario Soccer Association. It offers play for players ranging in age from eight years to adult. "There was a core of guys who wanted to play somewhere else and play as a group," said Speller. "We thought we'd start a new team.

"This gives them the freedom to play with their club team and a chance to play for us," he said. "I think we're appealing to some players because it gets them exposed to a different group. They have commitments to their clubs and we're extra soccer for them." He said interest has been received from players with 2001 birthdates and interest will dictate whether a team could be established at under-16 level for the 2017 season. Players seeking information for tryouts should email info@ PaceFC.ca or consult the program's website at pacefc.ca for details.

HALL OF FAMERS

Mike Barrett/Metroland

Left: From left, Bobby Orr, NHL vice-president Jim Gregory and Aurora Sports Hall of Fame inductee Mike Murphy met up at the fourth annual Aurora Sports Hall of Fame Dinner and Inductions. Right: Brian Stemmle, who was inducted to the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame in 2013, welcomed his sister, Karen, to the hall at the hall's fourth annual dinner and inductions at St. Andrew's College Wednesday night.

Penalizing overtime goals is silliness gone silly Here's a few random thoughts left hanging around a sports desk's paper pile: The no-fun police are everywhere in sports these days. For some reason it has become almost impossible for players to react to big plays in big moments - or, just nice plays - lest they subject themselves to fines and discipline from their respective leagues. Picky penalties are all over the sports world. But celebrating an overtime goal in sudden victory at the junior level of hockey should result in a penalty? Sheesh. Yet the Ontario Junior Hockey League, subject to the rules of the Ontario Hockey Association and Ontario Hockey Federation, collects two minutes from any team that dares step out of order by setting a skate blade before receiving referee clearance. Newmarket Hurricanes' Thomas Milne isn't the first coach to be slapped with a twominute penalty as was the case after the Hurricanes defeated Cobourg Cougars in overtime a

JOHN CUDMORE Cuddy Shark week ago. Officially, for not controlling his bench. Whaaaat?! Here's what happens at the end of any period in a junior hockey game. As the buzzer sounds, the referees send one team, typically the visitors, to the dressing rooms while a raised hand keeps the home team pinned to its bench. Here's what happens at the end of a junior hockey game. At the final buzzer, the referees send one team, typically the visitors, to the dressing rooms while a raised hand keeps the home team pinned to its bench. It is a rather meaningless exercise, given that the game is over once the puck enters the net, to assess a team a minor

penalty when players hop the boards eager to celebrate a game-winner in extra time. In a sport where emotion is a valued trait in players it seems a bit contradictory to hammer anyone who should express enthusiasm, or note a job well done. Football players celebrate touchdowns, interceptions and tackles at risk of penalties and fines in blatant examples of overexuberance. Soccer guys do knee slides and hand springs across the field and undress sometimes to celebrate goals. At least baseball players who toss baseball bats after dramatic home runs only get plunked with 95-miles-per-hour fastballs, they don't receive a one-out penalty or something similarly silly. The intention, of course, is to erase opportunity for players to prolong any in-game animosities beyond the 60 minutes and change it took to decide a winner. It seems like overkill. Guess overtime wins are best achieved on the road. At least it keeps penalty totals lower.

Legally moving

Baseball Ontario is considering a rule change to eliminate player transfers and release policies for the junior level for the 2017 season. If passed, it is a long overdue change since the provincial body has maintained the junior level - wedged between senior where there are no releases required and junior where release requests are uncontested at the elite level - requires home centres release to players seeking to take their bat, ball and glove elsewhere. How absurd is the rule which requires a player to get released from his home association before moving elsewhere? Well, written permission is required even if the home town program doesn't have a team at the junior level. Fact is, at the junior level, players are adults and should be entitled to choose where they wish to play.

●●●

Familiar faces

In retrospect, why wouldn't Thomas Milne and Brian Perrin be behind the benches of the Aurora Tigers and Newmarket Hurricanes? They bring the years of experience and credibility that are precisely what the position demands in the Ontario Junior Hockey League where talent assessment and recruitment are pivotal factors. That both ownerships opted initially to go with inexperienced coaches with ties to their other programs translated into slow starts to the season. In the case of the Tigers that slow start - not out of the woods yet with just four wins - is looking like a lost playoff season. Like Milne, Perrin should breathe new life into the Aurora Tigers. Problem is that the Tabbies may already be in too deep to reach the playoffs. All that said, no one should have doubted that either man would resurface in the OJHL. Still, it'll result in some double takes before getting accustomed to Perrin behind the Tigers bench and Milne in Newmarket.

Aurora sports hall opens Norm Johnson education wing

New element brings unique look to facility at SARC JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com The education wing at the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame is calling on history to honour its youth and future. Unveiled at Saturday's grand re-opening of the hall at the Stronach Aurora Recreation Complex, the Norm Johnson Hall of Education is named after the lifelong Aurora area resident who taught in Aurora and coached numerous teams in five decades in soccer, basketball and track and field at the original Aurora High School (now Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School) until he retired in 1963. The education wing will provide a permanent location to view athletic excellence and physical literacy achievements of young Aurora athletes and potential future hall of famers.

Ava Lawson, 11, checks out the new displays during the official reopening of the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame, Saturday. The hall is located in the Stronach Aurora Recreation Centre.

Continental breaks Lincoln

Jim Robinson

out of the doldrums

Metroland Media LOS ANGELES, CA: Finally a Lincoln with a name — and what a name: Continental. To this day I still remember at age 12 seeing a black-on-black Lincoln Continental II gliding down the main street of my hometown. It was one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen. Recently, Lincoln has been using letters, not names to label its products, such as MKZ, MKT, MKC and MKX, which doesn’t project an image of what it is, at least not to me. The only Lincoln with a name is the full-size Navigator that has been around since the end of the last century.

Technology-packed sedan

Lincoln needs to make a mark in the premium luxury sedan arena and the 2017 Continental is it. The amount of technology in this car is astounding. An example is the optional ($750) 30-way front seats with, get ready, six-way track adjust, two-way recline, four-way headrest adjust, four-way cushion extension, fourway thigh support, four-way lumbar support, two-way back bolster and two-way cushion bolster. Or how about the $5,000 Rear Seat Package on the Reserve trim model that includes reclining rear seats featuring four-way power lumbar support along with mas-

The 2017 Lincoln Continental premium luxury sedan is all-new, with standard all-wheel-drive and a bevy of technology features such as 30-way adjustable seats.

saging, heating and cooling. But perhaps the most intriguing, as well as stylish, feature is E-Latch power doors. That’s right — power doors. Lincoln has eliminated door handles along the beltline and replaced them with a solid nickelchrome piece that runs along the windowsill from the A- to C-pillar with a closed loop handle at each

door. Inside each door is a motor and electric capacitor, much like a USB charger for a cellphone. To open the door from the outside, there is a small button on the inside of the handle that, when touched, unlocks the door. To close, simply swing the door closed and the motor takes over and seals it shut. If there is no power, a blade

key hidden inside the fob fits through a tiny slot in the driver side Continental trim piece and unlocks all doors. To open from the inside, there is no latch/handle but a button on the back of the door pull. Touch it, and the motor unseals the door and you simply push it outward. Not only is it elegant to look at, Turn to page W3

LEFT: The interior is available in a variety of colours and trims including special Bridge of Weir, hand-finished leather. RIGHT: There are two engines, the standard being a 335 hp 2.7-litre twin turbo V6. This is the optional ($3,000) 400 hp 3.0-litre V6.

Fiat’s latest Italian job Readers who were around back in the late ’60s may remember a movie titled, The Italian Job. Flash forward to the present and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has created its own ‘Italian job’ in the form of the 2017 Fiat 124 Spider, an Italian take on the iconic Mazda MX-5 roadster. The 124 Spider is part of a joint venture between the two automakers, which sees Mazda supply the platform, various parts and the assembly line in Hiroshima, Japan for a new Fiat offering that pays homage to another classic sports car that, at one time, was quite popular on this side of the pond. Of course we’re talking about the original Fiat 124 Spider, which returns for 2017, 50 years after its original introduction. The current Spider was designed in Turin, Italy and borrows cues from the original one, a Pininfarina design considered by many to be one of Fiat’s most beautiful cars of all time. It was produced from 1966-80. The new Spider bears a striking resemblance to the MX-5, but interestingly, all the body panels are different. And while looks are important when you’re talking sports cars, it’s how they perform that’s crucial and Fiat had to get things right when you consider the MX-5 is the best-selling two-seat roadster of all time and the reigning World Car of the Year for 2016. Those are big shoes (or should we say wheels?) to fill and Fiat on most counts has succeeded. Oh, there are a few nits to pick, such as the 50 kilos of extra weight in the Spider and a hefty dose of turbo lag with the 1.4-litre MultiAir turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine. It is the first application of this engine in a rear-wheel drive vehicle Turn to page W2

Fiat brings Italian flair to the roadster market and it delivers 160 hp and 184 lb/ft of torque, both upping the ante on Mazda’s naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre four-banger, which returns 155 hp and 148 lb/ft of torque. On the positive side of the ledger, the body of the Spider is 140 mm longer than the MX-5’s, resulting in 10 litres more cargo room in the trunk — a bonus for anyone who wants space for the odds and sods needed for a weekend getaway.

“

The new Spider bears a striking resemblance to the MX-5, but interestingly, all the body panels are different.

”

And thinking of that, the 124 Spider proved to be the perfect car for just such an occasion — particularly on a beautiful October day when the leaves are starting to change to a brilliant red hue here in southern Ontario. Rather than just re-badging the MX-5, Fiat has created a two-seat roadster that has different dynamics than its Japanese counDrop the manual top (it’s light and a snap to put up or down in seconds), crank terpart.

to go. But you and I both know they’re working feverishly on it back in Dearborn. Standard engine is a 2.7-litre twin turbo, direct injection V6 with 335 hp and 380 lb/ft of torque. Optional ($3,000) is a 3.0-litre twin turbo direct injection V6 with 400 hp and 400 lb/ft of torque. At the press introduction of the new Continental in Los Angeles, we drove the 3.0-litre V6 that was as silent in running as it was lusty. We think of AWD as being for snow, slush and wet, but there are more challenging surfaces than those in the world, which is why I headed to surfer country north of Malibu. Here you find sandy entrances to the beaches that can catch you out with just two driving wheels in the soft surface, which can cause you to be bogged down. My favourite photo stop in California is such a place, but getting to and from the water wasn’t a problem with the AWD. Heading back, I took the torturous Decker Canyon Road where falling rock is common, and in fact, I came across a soccer ball sized bolder on the climb up from the beach and alerted a road crew to it working further up the road. Here, the advantages of a “real” AWD, unlike simple slip-and-grip systems, rewards the driver, while the near instant grunt of the twin turbo V8 made seemingly endless series of 15-20 mph switchbacks easy – never a chore, as the first time I drove this 20 years ago before all of the current technology was possible. After years of being second fiddle to Ford, with the Continental, Lincoln is no longer the “other” domestic luxury sedan, but a world-class premium luxury player in its own right.

Continued from W1 but also the lack of beltline latches makes for a remarkably sleek, uncluttered side profile. All-wheel-drive is standard on all Canadian models with Dynamic Torque Vectoring, which routes grip under cornering to the appropriate rear wheel. A six-speed automatic transmission with selectable manual shift is standard. Lincoln Drive Control lets the driver chose between three modes (Comfort, Normal and Sport) with makes it possible to adapt steering and suspension settings to the individual and is aided by continuously controlled damping and adaptive steering. The Continental also features leadingedge driver safety aids such as Pre-Collision Alert, Pedestrian Detection with radar and cameras. Optional is adaptive cruise control that can automatically slow the Continental in stop-and-go traffic – resuming speed when traffic clears. Of course, there’s lane keeping assist and electronic stability control. If you think this sounds something like semi-autonomous driving, you’d be right. But the Lincoln engineers I talked to downplayed that, saying there is a still a long way

The all-new 2017 Subaru Impreza is the first vehicle built using the new Subaru Global Platform architecture that is designed to enhance safety, comfort, agility and driving pleasure. Available in sedan and five-door models, the 2017 Impreza is equipped with new driver assist technology, multimedia features and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The new Impreza will be available in base, Premium, Sport and Limited trim lines starting late this year.

Metroland Wheels At the upcoming 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show, Audi will debut its first production laser light on the 2017 Audi R8 V10 plus exclusive edition. The R8 exclusive edition utilizes full LED headlights, which are now supplemented by a laser high beam module in each headlight. Each headlight contains one laser module that operates with four, high intensity laser diodes. Each module bundles these diodes into a blue laser beam with a wavelength of 450 nanometers.

A phosphor converter then transforms the blue laser beam into a very bright and pure white light. The R8 exclusive edition is also the first Audi vehicle to couple the laser light with dynamic front turn signals. An identifying characteristic of the laser headlights is their blue light signature in the headlight housing. The laser beam pattern, which is active at speeds of 40 mph and above (when conditions permit), supplements the LED high beam and greatly enhances visibility for the driver by projecting a low and wide beam of light on the road ahead.

Hyundai sets hybrid speed record Metroland Wheels SA race-prepared Hyundai Ioniq hybrid prototype, developed by Hyundai Motor America’s Engineering and Quality team, set an FIA-approved production-based hybrid vehicle land speed record of 157.825 mph, with a peak exit speed of 160.7 mph at Utah’s renowned Bonneville Salt Flats. The eco-focused Ioniq is Hyundai’s newest hybrid model, with hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric powertrains to be available. Ioniq hybrid and electric models go on

sale in late 2016. “A key role of Hyundai’s engineering team is to thoroughly test all future vehicle prototypes to ensure they exceed the demanding expectations of our customers,” said Mircea Gradu, director, Engineering and Quality, Hyundai Motor America. “As we performed these tests on Ioniq, the engineering and quality staff became so impressed with the results that we began to wonder if we should raise our sights even higher, and the Ioniq land speed record effort was born.”

RIGHT: A Hyundai engineering team modified an Ioniq hybrid to set a speed record of 157.825 mph at Bonneville.
