Const. Garrett Styles’ family, police, unhappy with 9-year supervision order BY JEREMY GRIMALDI

hen the family, colleagues and friends of Const. Garrett Styles left the courtroom Monday, it was clear there was dissatisfaction with the result. Melissa Styles, his widow, was crying and others were visibly shaken at the sentence that would spare jail for the quadriplegic teenager convicted of first-degree murder for his death. Instead, the Newmarket youth, only known as S.K., received a nine-year community supervision order, allowing him to remain in his own home in the care of his father and mother. Although no one spoke to the media in the immediate aftermath, hours later, York Regional Police issued a media release with

comments from Melissa, Const. Styles’ father, Garry, and Chief Eric Jolliffe. “My wife and family are very disappointed in regards to Justice Sosna’s decision,” Garry said. “The sentence to us means nothing. It appears to us that a police officer’s life means nothing in the eyes of justice. “As a former police officer, I find the sentence imposed to be lacking and opening the door to further tragedies involving police officers just doing their sworn duty.” Although the Crown was requesting S.K.

be placed in an open-custody residence in Milton for five years, the judge said he was not satisfied the facility could properly care for the 19-year-old’s significant medical needs. “A custodial sentence will not make him more accountable,” he said, noting just how precarious S.K.’s medical condition is. “He’s a prisoner in his own body and is already serving a life sentence.” The trial has been a contentious one since the beginning, not only because of the circumstances of the crash that led to Const. Styles’ death, but also the age of the offender and the condition in which S.K. was left. It was on June 28, 2011 that both families’ lives would be altered forever. See page A4.

Pickering College Holiday Home Tour organizers Nicole Stella and Shelley Frank and TV personality Frank Ferragine prepare for the 11th annual event, which takes place tomorrow and Saturday. Ferragine will discuss Christmas tree decorating tips at the tour’s seasonal boutique at Pickering Saturday.

COMMUNITY

et some great holiday tips from some of York Region’s top decorators this weekend. The 11th annual Pickering College Holiday Home Tour returns to northern York Region Friday and Saturday. You are invited to tour six festively decorated homes and speak to several of the area’s top designers, decorators and florists. This self-directed tour features homes decorated for the holidays and set to unique themes, which are chosen in collaboration by a team of York Region designers, decorators and florists. “We’re bringing back the same high level of professionalism and creativity,” organizer Shelley Frank said. “There’s lots of great opportunity for Christmas shopping at the boutique. Our designers are in the homes and interacting. They’re really interested in talking with the guests. Some of the homes have been completely redone.” Catering and musical entertainment will also be provided. The homes are located in New-

market, Aurora, Cedar Valley and Whitchurch-Stouffville. On Friday, a VIP Design Tour will feature design expert Sharon Grech and includes a wine and cheese reception and transportation. Meanwhile, the Saturday event includes the Seasonal Boutique at Pickering. Cityline and Breakfast Television personality Frank Ferragine will be at the boutique to discuss tree decorating tips. “We’re going to talk about some simple things you can do to your tree to make it look exceptional without a lot of money,” he said. “Everybody thinks ribbon is just something you use on presents. On a tree, it can take up a lot of space and add nice texture and colour. We can make you look like a fashionista without spending a lot of money.” Ferragine, commonly known as Frankie Flowers, participated in last year’s tour and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. “This is a community event that brings a lot of people together to celebrate the holiday season and See page A12.

Stop eating meat, Town defends cost overruns on dog park advocacy group urges Protesters picket outside King Cole Ducks BY CHRIS SIMON

csimon@yrmg.com

atie Barber wants you to stop eating meat. The founder of Aurora’s Animal Rights Advocates group led a vigil alongside nearly 20 people outside the King Cole Ducks and Newmarket Meat Packers facilities on Warden Avenue in Newmarket Wednesday. The event attempted to raise awareness of local “slaughterhouses and the unjustified (killings) happening” within, she said. “The issue is the idea of using animals for our own purposes,” Barber said, as protesters held up signs with slogans such as ‘All Life Matters’ and ‘Meat is Murder’ for passing drivers to see. “We don’t need to eat animals to survive or for clothing. We’re here to bring attention to the amount of suffering and lives killed here. It doesn’t need to be done. (The

We’ve been brainwashed or told as a society that we have to eat meat. It’s just not true.” That afternoon, the advocates also protested and handed out information to residents near the Wellington Street and Bayview Avenue intersection. While both companies respect the right to demonstrate, they disagree with the principles expressed by the protesters. “This particular group has been here a couple of times; they’re polite and peaceful,” King Cole See page A10.

ewmarket’s dog park construction went more than $40,000 over budget, according to documents released by the Newmarket Taxpayers Advocacy Group. NTAG says the town failed to take soil samples and obtain expert recommendations on the site, leading to thousands of dollars in unexpected expenses. The park opened late this summer after months of delays, while crews worked to remove a significant amount of glass and metal debris that littered the area. The debris is from a defunct landfill site that sits under the park.

Dogs let loose in the leash-free park that opened in the summer.

“The significant remediation and cost that was incurred at the dog park is yet another example of the (town’s) poor record on completing thorough due diligence with major capital construction projects,” NTAG president Teena Bogner said. “This waste of taxpayer money, due to lack of foresight and planning, is deplorable,” she added. The project had an approved budget of $150,000, though the tender was awarded for about $135,000.

more than .5 metres below the dog park. Crews laid a geotextile composite material below the surface of the dog park, to prevent animals from digging too far below ground level. It was then covered by soil and wood chips. Glass cleanup cost nearly $8,500, while the complete installation of the geotextile material was nearly $17,900. The town also spent more than $17,800 on signage and a sponsor sign garden bed feature and about $20,800 on screened wood chip installation, Bogner said.

Sentence ‘huge letdown’ From Front Page

After organizing with acquaintances over social media to go out together that night, S.K., then 15, would take his parents’ minivan and pick up three friends. The vehicle was stopped in East Gwillimbury at 4:30 a.m. doing almost 50 km/h over the limit. Styles approached the van and advised S.K., who had been caught illegally driving the minivan by police before, that the vehicle would have to be impounded. After initially giving a false name and address and then begging the officer to let him and his friends go, the youth and the van took off, with Styles on S.K.’s lap and the door wide open. Some 300 metres later, the vehicle veered to the left, hit a ditch, flipped, rolled and landed on Styles, crushing and killing him. S.K. was left a quadriplegic, with some movement in his arms, but little in his hands. On Monday, Styles’ widow, Melissa, expressed her disappointment with the sentence. “My children and I have been given a life sentence to have to live without Garrett and we were not found guilty of anything,” she said. “This sentence is a huge letdown.” Jolliffe followed up those comments with his own expression of emotion, he said, on behalf of the entire service. “We are disappointed with the sentence handed down in the courtroom,” he said. “Notwithstanding the physical condition of the accused, this sentence does not reflect the principles of accountability referenced in the Youth Criminal Justice Act nor is it what Garrett’s family and colleagues were hoping the result would be.” The family of S.K. were unavailable for comment. About the sentence, Sosna said he took the view that S.K. had already paid a high price for his actions. “It’s been pressed upon him every day since the crash four years ago,” he said, explaining that while the crash “shattered and devastated” the Styles family, S.K.’s injuries would remain with him forever. “By his own folly, he was rendered a quadriplegic. That will continue for the rest of his life.”

Due diligence ‘appropriate’ From Front Page

Mayor Tony Van Bynen said council would have been micromanaging a relatively minor capital project by scrutinizing the overruns. Over the past three years, Newmarket’s capital budgets have ranged between $23.7 million and $29.3 million. “A dog park at that price is not a significant capital project,” he said. “It was undertaken in response to some very substantial community interest. The due diligence that was taken was appropriate at that time. We were just going to put up a fence and let dogs run around on grass. When we found out there was glass, we took the appropriate steps. It’s easy to sit in the balcony and fire off press releases, but the reality is, we’ve got a business that has some very substantial capital projects. Micromanaging a $100,000 project I don’t think is an effective use of council’s time. What would happen if we had a $2,000 budget? Council would have to get involved in a $100 decision. I’m trying to put this into perspective.” Funding was available to complete the dog park because other approved capital budget projects were completed below their anticipated cost, the mayor said. The town also shaved close to $12,500 off the price of the park because certain gates, trees and mulch materials were not used at the site as initially planned, he said. When complications with the project first surfaced earlier this year, town development and infrastructure services commissioner Peter Noehammer promised to keep council abreast of significant cost overruns. However, that didn’t happen, he contends. “I did say if there was going to be something extensive, we would have to inform council that the project has gone sideways,” Noehammer said. “In the end, we were able to do it slightly over budget. Do we go to council every single time for every project where we go slightly over? Only on the more significant overages where there’s a large over expenditure. None of us were happy to hear the material was brought to the surface. Had this been a project where we were anticipating excavation, we would have done further geotechnical testing. It was already a park. “There has been strong community support; it’s absolutely been a successful implementation and a welcome addition to the town’s recreation space.” For more information on NTAG, visit ntag.ca.

KEEPING OUR KIDS FIT BY JOHN CUDMORE

including eight in health and physical education, at Highgate Public School in Markham. “If you aren’t, what’s that telling the kids? I can rhyme off 20 reasons not to go to the gym after work, but I find a way to go.” Highgate follows a five-day cycle and has four DPA activity sites on school grounds, implementing its playing field, two tarmac areas and gymnasium. “On the fifth day, the whole school dances,” said Haefele. “It has taken many years to get where we are but it is worth it. It’s sustainable because of how we program it. I think there is something very powerful when 500 students drop their pencils and see others moving. It’s more of a community being built in our school.” With a large class of fifth and sixth grade students, Telford is strapped for space in her classroom. She has been creative in the past to get her students active. “For small kids, you can have them do a

freeze dance in the classroom and they’re happy,” Telford said. “But if I want to take my class to the gym and it is busy, what do I do? “The classroom I have is not able to accommodate 34 kids jumping around. In the dead of winter, I don’t know what we’ll do when we can’t get outside. I’m finding it a real challenge – it’s great when the weather is nice out, but when winter comes, it’s a challenge. “I’ve seen it through the entire cycle,” said Telford. “I’m not sure if the board pushes it. Some schools rely on self-scheduling. I do my own thing. It depends on how I think they are doing. I might have them run or walk laps of the field. I’ve used a stairwell near my classroom. My kids are active. I might give them 10 minutes of teacher-directed activity and allow 10 minutes of student-directed activity.” So, does the DPA concept work or not? “It does and it doesn’t,” said Telford. “The thinking nowadays (is) if students are physically active, people think they pay more atten-

hysical activity as a pathway to increased productivity in the classroom seems like a no-brainer. Yet, despite strong evidence backing that notion, there is no clear-cut strategy to ensure elementary school children are receiving adequate daily doses of physical activity. It has been a decade since then-Ontario minister of education Gerard Kennedy introduced in 2005 the Daily Physical Activity strategy to Ontario’s publicly funded elementary schools. The mandate is to provide opportunity for students to be active for at least 20 minutes every school day to foster healthier places to learn. For those on board, it has been a positive experience. “I always valued physical education and was into sports,” said Norma Moffitt, a Grade 6 teacher at Regency Acres Public School in Aurora with 27 years of classroom experience. “I thought there were different ways to get my class under control and interested in their education, but I didn’t realize until that year the benefits. “Now, I’m hooked. It’s amazing after kids exercise how their confidence improves. It’s the most influential thing I’ve done in my teaching career and it came down to physical exercise.” Although every timetable is to include 20 minutes, there is no official monitoring from local school boards or the province for implementation of the DPA concept, initially rolled out as Daily Vigorous Physical Activity, and intended to complement regular physical education classes. Schools and teachers on the front lines have largely been left to figure it and advance programs out for themselves. Schools seem to be inconsistent in how or if they present the program at all. In her 16th year of teaching elementary school, Amanda Telford has mixed views regarding the DPA program. The Holland Landing Public School teacher understands and believes in the concept’s value, yet isn’t so sure it is applicable across the spectrum. She cites factors ranging from the physical space inside a classroom and the ages of the students, weather and even teacher motivaSTAFF PHOTO/STEVE SOMERVILLE tion. Telford says it is difficult to stop class for her students to perform exercises outside a Norma Moffitt’s Grade 6 class at Aurora’s Regency Acres Public School take part in a daily incramped classroom setting. “I totally see the value of physical activity class workouts. York Region schools wrestle with whether or not the province’s Daily Physical overall,” said Telford. “But for a distinct value Activity strategy works. overall, I’m not so sure. “I don’t think there is the big push in the smoothly.

tion. I don’t think it makes a difference if they are all riled up and jumping up and down.” Moffitt thinks if home-room teachers are convinced of the potential benefits they are more likely to figure out a way to incorporate physical activity into their schedules. Introducing daily activity to the Regency Acres community opened Moffitt’s eyes. Especially so when, in 2008, her Grade 6 class and another sixth grade class were pitted against each other. Her class, which received daily exposure to physical activity, scored significantly better in both learning skills and reading than the control group, which was exposed to standard DPA as directed by the Ministry of Education. “If you can see the difference in the classroom and students, if you’re passionate, you will find a way to make it work.” Jennifer Burt, now a vice-principal at Lake Simcoe Public School in Keswick and the other teacher in the Regency Acres test, would love to set up a program at her new school. “After a body break, you can see it helps kids get back on track,” said Burt, who pointed to the benefits of exercise stations throughout her last school, Black River Public School in Sutton. “If they’re fidgety or restless, they can take a run in the gym or hall, if there is support staff available. It’s hard to smile when you’re doing jumping jacks.” Haefele believes the concept requires a push to the next level. “The purpose is to get students active and instill healthy habits to help choose a lifestyle,” Haefele said. “The concept makes sense, but after 10 years, we’re stuck in the same position. There’s no accountability to do it. Ten years later, we’re still asking he same questions — ‘Why are schools still not implementing DPA?’.” She sees issues that do not provide favourable conditions to follow the guideline, ranging from lack of interest to classroom space and equipment. The playing field, she said, is not level from one school to the next. “In those cases, the administration is setting it up for failure. You need accountability and consistency. Time has to be put into it to make a successful program. “You need quality programming and if you do not put the time into finding space, resources and administration support, it won’t work. “Implementation is not well done,” Haefele said. “The Ministry has to somehow make schools accountable.” As the York Region District School Board’s curriculum co-ordinator for healthy schools, Ken Leang acknowledges there are barriers, including time and competing curriculums. He believes it is critical to promote the reasons a period of physical activity is important to the welfare of students. He realizes it is a process. “Once they understand, that’s when people change their behaviour,” Leang said. “It takes a while, because we didn’t go after the why, but viewed it as an add-on. If it is required, put it in and more and more people will follow it.” The concept has evolved over the decade since DPA was introduced, Leang believes. “It really has progressed in a lot of ways, but getting to adults in the building is key,” Leang said. “You have to build it with teachers who want to do it and get the others to buy in. It’s up to schools to determine priority.”

Vet clinic hosting two fundraisers

BRIEFLY SPEAKING 4 4 4 4 4

A Newmarket veterinary clinic is getting into the giving spirit over the next month. The Veterinary Emergency Clinic of York Region will host fundraisers to support two local causes — the Newmarket branch of the Ontario SPCA and the Newmarket Food Pantry. The first fundraiser will be a holiday food drive. It runs from now to Dec. 20 and residents are encouraged to donate dog and cat food, as well as children’s snacks, holiday food, canned fruits, vegetables and meat, pasta, rice, soup, beans, toiletries and

The Matrimonial Home

Pre-register 905-953-5110 Ext. 4770

By Mervyn White, Lawyer One of the key assets in any marriage is the matrimonial home. It is where you and your spouse lived together and raised your family. It is full of memories; some good and some bad. As a result, you may want to refuse to sell your home or you may want to buy-out your spouse. The law may not always be on your side. In most cases it is better to negotiate a deal rather than go to Family Court. Here are some of the legal principles that may impact you: • The Court’s only remedy is to order the sale of a jointly owned home. • The Court cannot order one spouse to buy-out the other spouse’s interest in the home. • A home owned by one person cannot be ordered sold. • Until there is an agreement or court order, both parties have a right to occupy the home. • The value of the matrimonial home is part of the equalization calculations even if you do not own it. • A matrimonial home that was gifted or inherited is still part of the equalization calculations, unlike other assets.

NEWMARKET AQUARIUM i just fOuND NemO, at Least the fresh-water versiON In fact, at Newmarket Aquarium, there are over 100 aquariums of beautiful and exotic fresh-water fish. Owners Helen and David have a passion for aquariums and had a large one in their restaurants over the years. In June 2015, that passion became their new full-time business. They have closed their restaurants and are available seven days a week in their aquarium business. Most locals will recognize the location as the former piano store but these days the symphonies you’ll hear are the sounds of fresh water in the aquariums with fish gracefully “dancing” as you walk by. It’s evident Helen and David love this business. They treat fish as pets. They love helping people who love the beauty and grace and the almost hypnotic sensation of having fish. They love helping people new to being fish lovers and getting set up. Whatever stage you’re at, Helen and David will help you add the perfect fish to your aquarium. They have a full array of fish tanks (all sizes) with the lighting and filtering systems, aquarium treasures (rocks and artificial plants and corals) and of course food for fish. And, they have a huge selection of live plants too…planted in soil for your aquarium. Walking through the store, Helen and David’s love and knowledge of fish is very evident. You’ll learn how the Clown loach is a gentle fish, the Zebra Tilapia is from the family of fish we eat, but not this one, and that angel fish (altum, wild caught) take time to adjust to the Ph in our water here in Newmarket. They’ll tell you that the best quality of Koi is from Japan - where they import those fish from. Most of the fish are from Asia…you’ll see Arowana and Stingray and many more. They also provide fish from other parts of the world, for example, the Blood Red Parrot fish is from South America.

If you can’t find exactly what you want in the store, Helen will source it for you – now that’s customer service! And when you come into the store, you’ll receive a warm and friendly welcome. You’ll feel comfortable taking your time to find the perfect fish. Helen and David are there to answer any questions you may have. You can even post a photo of what you’re looking for on their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/Newmarketaquarium) and they’ll find it for you. If you have a pond, come and talk to Helen and David, they’ll help you prepare the pond for the winter. Goldfish and Koi are cold water fish but your pond conditions must be just right to keep your fish healthy over the winter. If your pond isn’t deep enough, they’ll recommend that you bring in your fish for the winter…but talk to them, they know fish. And starting Friday, November 20 until December 31, 2015, they’ll even pay the tax for you…so if you’re thinking about adding a special fish or even buying an aquarium and getting started, or even a Christmas gift…now’s the perfect time. All artificial plants and coral will be 20% off…and yes, no tax either… They are located at 69 Davis Drive, Unit 3B in Newmarket. They are open from 11 – 8 on weekdays and 11 – 6 on the weekend. 905-235-9188 or email them at Newmarketaquarium@gmail.com

EDITORIAL

No one thrilled with trial outcome, but system all we’ve got Marney Beck

‘A

custodial sentence will not make him more accountable. He’s a prisoner in his own body and is already serving a life sentence.” With those words, Justice Alex Sosna closed the book on the trial of a teenager who was convicted of first-degree murder in the 2011 death of York Regional Police Const. Garrett Styles. As we would learn over the next four years, there was nothing easy about the trial. The teenager was 15 when he was pulled over by Styles for speeding. After the officer informed the youth that his parents’ van would be impounded, the youth accelerated the vehicle, with Styles hanging out the van’s door as he attempted to grab the keys from the ignition. Some 300 metres later, the vehicle veered to the left, hit a ditch, flipped, rolled and landed on Styles, crushing and killing him. The youth, who was left a quadriplegic, was found guilty of first-degree murder by a jury and was sentenced Monday by Sosna to nine years of community supervision, which will be served at his family’s Newmarket home. The judge rejected the Crown’s request that the youth be placed in an open-custody residence in Milton for five years, noting he was not satisfied the facility could properly care for the now 19-year-old’s significant medical needs. It would be easy to look at the result and question if the entire trial was an exercise in futility. Look at the facts: a 15-year-old boy made a terrible choice that led to the death of a police officer and one that left him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Was there ever a real chance the teenager was going to do hard time for his crime? Critics could argue that hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars and countless hours of valuable court time were wasted on a trial that likely never would have seen a courtroom if a police officer hadn’t been the victim. But that’s the easy argument; not the right one. Like it or not, this is how our justice system works. And with that system, the process is just as important as the result. The trial laid out all the evidence and gave everyone involved an opportunity to speak. It gave Styles’ widow, Melissa, a chance to tell the court of the pain she and her two small children have faced since the day of the tragic event. Styles’ father, Garry, was given his moment to express how his son’s death has forever changed him as a man. The result was the murder conviction, which Sosna said was imposed not because of premeditated thought or malice, but because Styles was a police officer executing his duties at the time of his death. It was the verdict police and Styles’ family members sought, even though, according to outsiders — many of whom took to social media in frustration — it came as a shock. Not surprisingly, Monday’s sentence was met with harsh reaction from Styles’ family and colleagues. “My wife and family are very disappointed in regards to Justice Sosna’s decision,” Garry Styles said in a media release issued by York Regional Police. “The sentence to us means nothing. It appears to us that a police officer’s life means nothing in the eyes of justice. “As a former police officer, I find the sentence imposed to be lacking and opening the door to further tragedies involving police officers just doing their sworn duty.” It’s easy to second guess the judge’s ruling, but, again, this is how our system of justice works. After all of the arguments and the jury’s verdict, the sentencing decision is left in the hands of a single person, who is asked to take all factors into consideration and then levy a penalty he or she deems suitable. Was it too lenient? We can forever debate that question. Or, we can trust that our justice system — with its many flaws — is bound by our Canadian Constitution, as well as federal, provincial and territorial laws and guided to protect our human rights and fundamental freedoms. It’s all we’ve got.

Do we close doors in face of terror or open them?

J LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Residents don’t like cars, we NEED cars Re: York drivers have longest GTA commute, Nov. 12. I’m not sure if York Region’s director of roads and traffic operations, Brian Titherington, was being humorous or not when he said York Region residents like to own cars. We may have the highest ownership within the GTA, but that is likely due to the high cost of living in York Region, coupled with very poor public transit, requiring two or more cars in most households to earn the incomes necessary to live here. We don’t like to own cars, we NEED to own cars. A simple workday starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 5 p.m. is difficult when using transit. I provide an example using the YRT trip planner for public transit and Google maps for the private car. I randomly chose Leslie Street and Mount Albert Sideroad in Sharon as the start point (19000 Leslie St.) and the corner of Aurora Heights Drive and Bathurst Street in Aurora as the end point. This is a distance of 16 kilometres. By car, this trek is between 18 and 21 minutes. Taking into account traffic in rush hour, we can add 20 per cent, which is another four minutes, for a total of 22 to 25 minutes. The bus requires 43 minutes in the morning and 38 minutes in the evening, more than the average for drivers. That’s not bad, you say. Public transit is just 16 to 18 minutes longer than a car for this trip. And only $3.40 each way if you use Presto, which a frequent transit rider would. Now it gets complicated. The Sharon resident has children who require daycare prior to school. Unless the parent is willing to pay an additional $25 a week for each child, the children can’t be left with daycare until 8 a.m. If the parent drives, the children can be dropped at school at 8:30 a.m., saving the entire cost of daycare in the morning. If the parent chooses to leave the children at daycare at 8 a.m., saving the $25 per child a week, then transit isn’t viable, as the only bus that allows the parent to get to work in time for 9 a.m. leaves Sharon at 7:39 a.m. It takes 43 minutes, meaning the parent arrives at work around 8:30 a.m. This may be a good thing as unless the parent is able to leave work around 4:45 p.m., transit won’t get the parent back to Sharon until 7 p.m. That bus leaves at 5:32 p.m. The only bus that would take around 45 minutes to get home, leaves at 4:53 p.m. Therein lies the dilemma when using public transit. How do you fit your schedule into the spotty transit service provided in York Region? Car ownership is a necessity in York Region and will be until transit provides service that can provide rides that fit with residents’ schedules. Pick any two places in York

Region and see what the connection time by transit is and then decide if the times fit within your life schedule and if you’re willing to give up the time to sit on a bus instead of time with your family.

Yes, Mulock station would change commute Re: Mulock GO station being explored, Nov. 12. We asked you: Would a Mulock station change your commute? Here’s what you said: Yes, if adding a Mulock station increases service, I would be able to use the train. I am walking a distance to the Tannery, but the 7:59 a.m. out of Newmarket is too early for my work hours; 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. I get dropped off at the Hwy. 404 and Wellington Street park and ride and use buses that service Aurora. Parking is rarely available in Aurora. Most people who live in Newmarket use Aurora due to parking. Parking at East Gwillimbury is reaching capacity, as well.

Stan Windatt Newmarket

New GO station would relieve other stations It will definitely change the commute, especially with all of the home development going around Leslie Street and St. John’s Sideroad. Currently, one cannot get any parking at Aurora GO station for the last train at 8:07 a.m. Parking gets full by 7:35 a.m. for the 7:37 a.m. train. A new station will also give relief to the Aurora station. I would recommend a multistorey parking should be built at the new station or a frequent bus route should be created, especially during rush hour.

Muhammad Kaleem Newmarket

Let’s have better service, less train station stops I’m a little confused as to why Metrolinx is looking into adding another GO train station at Mulock Drive. The present Newmarket and East Gwillimbury stations are already less than a block apart and have been serving the community quite well for years now. Do we really need to have three stations three blocks apart on a train that’s supposed to get people home quickly? I would much rather have Metrolinx spending its money (by which I mean taxpayers’ and GO riders’ money) on the proposals to increase service on and electrify the Barrie line, instead of adding another redundant station. If the GO train wants to be considered a viable transporta-

Star failed to offer balanced coverage Re: Endorsements must be paper’s prerogative, guest editorial by John Honderich, Nov. 12. Honderich may be correct in his editorial that Postmedia CEO Paul Godfrey was wrong in ordering all his papers to support former prime minister Stephen Harper. However, both the National Post and the Toronto Sun published articles during the campaign criticizing parts of the Conservative platform. On the other hand, the Toronto Star, during the entire campaign, continuously bombarded its readers with antiConservative and anti-Harper articles. Haroon Siddiqui, its former editor, who rarely wrote since retirement, had a story almost every day attacking (it is the right expression) Harper and the Conservatives. It is a paper’s responsibility to provide its readers all points of view to make an intelligent and sound decision. It is regrettable that Honderich’s paper failed totally in this respect.

We need watchdogs, not media lapdogs A disturbing development in Canada is the growing evidence of media bias. A strong democracy depends on an independent unbiased media when reporting the news, otherwise, Canadians cannot trust the accuracy of news reports. Voters who don’t have the time or inclination to research the issues are easily swayed by media spin. CBC’s Media Guild representing their reporters was registered as a third party to actively campaign in this election for the party that would give them more money. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised the CBC $150 million annually (in excess of the $1.1 billion it already receives from our taxes) if he was elected. These reporters had a motive to show Trudeau in a positive light and happily accepted his vague and lightweight responses, including “he would grow the economy from the heart”. Unifor is Canada’s largest media union, representing more than 13,000 employees across Canada, including media reporters. Sixty per cent of people who voted in this election did not vote for Trudeau. We need watchdogs in the media to report on our politicians, not lapdogs.

tion option, it needs more service instead of more stops.

ust 10 months ago, there was worldwide outrage at the slaughter of 10 journalists and two police officers at the Jan. 7 Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris. Now, again, renewed and stronger global condemnation and revulsion have been provoked by the Paris attacks last Friday, with a massive and tragic death toll of at least 120 people, with many more innocents mortally wounded. What does that mean for ordinary Canadians and, besides Tweeting our sympathies, what can we do? I’ll tell you what we should not do — we shouldn’t do as Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall is doing — to fan the flames against all Muslims around the world and, specifically, against all refugees. He sent a letter this week to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau airing concerns about “fast tracking” refugee claims and asking for the plan to be “suspended”. This despite our new Markham MP in charge of immigration and refugees, John McCallum, repeatedly assuring that the Liberal government will ensure proper screening of all refugees coming to Canada and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, repeating similar assurances about “robust” screening after the Paris attacks. As French and international police do their work and uncover the names and backgrounds of the evil ISIS perpetrators, it’s becoming clear that many of them were born in France, or nearby European countries. Like some of our own Canadian youth, they were likely radicalized and fell under the spell of the ISIS killing machine. So it’s facile and ignorant to suggest — as some social media commenters do — that all Muslims are potential terrorists or they should all be “sent back to Syria”. If ordinary Canadians who care want to know what to do, there are intangible and tangible actions they can take. An intangible, emotional response is urged by the French Ambassador to Canada, Nicolas Chapuis, working hard in Ottawa Friday as the tragedy unfolded in Paris — only alerted when his own son sent him an email “I am safe”. Chapuis states that the horrific events will not affect France’s policy to help Syrian refugees, and urged Canada to continue, as planned, to welcome refugees. “This should not stop us from opening our arms and helping those who are seeking our help. It is part of our humanity,” said the ambassador. “Let’s not be mistaken. France has always been a land of asylum, like Canada,’’ he said. “The people who are seeking refuge are not the barbarians. They are fleeing the barbarians.’’ As for the tangible help, you can get involved with one of the many churches, synagogues and outreach groups working to bring refugee families to Canada. A Whitchurch-Stouffville group called Stouffville Cares is working to welcome a family. Mennonite churches in York Region and King-based United Churches are doing the same. Temple Kol Ami in Thornhill Vaughan is presenting a session called Syrian Refugees – How You Can Help Nov. 27. Aurora United and Trinity Anglican churches have joined forces with the Newmarket Islamic Centre to help Syrian refugees. Let’s fight terror with our typical Canadian response: opening our hearts and our doors to the persecuted and oppressed, as we have always done for decades.

Meat Packers co-owner Nick D’Elia said the company is not used to getting this kind of attention. Earlier this year, the company agreed to spare one lamb for Easter, after being pressured by the animal rights group. “I don’t mind; they’re harmless,” he said, noting the protesters are not interfering with the daily operation of the plant. “I don’t agree with their views. But it doesn’t bother me that they protest and voice their opinion. They’re dedicated. Everyone has a difference of opinion; we don’t take it personal. It doesn’t mean we’re not good people. We provide a want.” The advocates will also host a vegan bazaar at the Aurora Community Centre Nov. 29, from noon to 4 p.m. The event will include a discussion with a former undercover investigator, who will talk about his experiences infiltrating meat-processing facilities.

CEO Debbi Conzelmann said. “We have no issue with what they’re doing. They’re entirely within their right to have an opinion. Everyone’s entitled to eat whatever they want… that’s perfectly fine. But we’re not going to convince them they should eat meat. We just have a basic difference of opinion. A large percentage of the world eats meat. That’s the business we’re in. We respect their rights; we would ask them to respect our rights.” King Cole has operated for nearly 65 years and employs about 160 people throughout the area. Meat Packers employs about 50 people at its Newmarket plant, but also provides jobs to people across the country. “We have excellent farming practices and very strong bio-security measures in place,” Conzelmann said. “Animal welfare, humane handling and food safety are our highest priority. We put a lot of care into giving the birds a stress-free life.”

Gift ideas for the special seniors in your life With lifetimes of experiences and seemingly everything they could ever want or need in life already at their disposal, seniors can be difficult to shop for come the holiday season. Many even insist that their family members save their money and not buy them anything for the holidays. But if the thought of Grandma or Grandpa not having something to open

The ties may not be as easy as they used to headphones amplify the sound of the be. Many active seniors are not ready to programming without disturbing othlive sedentary lives, nor should they be ers in the room, and many such headforced to do so. Plenty of products exist phones even allow users to mute their televisions. This feature is perfect for someone who likes to watch TV while a spouse is sleeping or reading in the same room. Other devices that can make life easier for seniors include magnifying products or book holders. In addition, gel seat cushions can take pressure off of the spine in the car or at home.

Food Food is always a handy gift because it doesn’t take up much room and can be enjoyed at a recipient’s leisure. Perhaps there is something the senior in your life used to enjoy as a child but now finds hard to come by. A search of the Internet may uncover that special treat. You may be able to ship a specialty soft drink or favourite cookie that is not available in a nearby store. Otherwise, ask a store manager if a particular item that’s not in stock in the store can be a special order.

Computer-savvy men and women can use photo software to design personalized photo books, calendars, mugs, and other photo-related gifts. Just about anything can be emblazoned with a photo, including tote bags and pillows. Another idea is to collect old photos and compile a memory book. Scan the images so they are preserved digitally and then print out the images in a book that includes the family history.

Belinda’s Place opens doors The doors at Belinda’s Place are finally open. After two consecutive harsh winters caused months of construction delays, the shelter is now accepting a limited number of women into emergency housing, according to a post on its Facebook page Wednesday. Belinda’s is York Region’s first and only shelter for single homeless women and will feature 28 singleunit emergency beds and nine transitional apartments, as well as support and counselling services. The site is located at the Yonge Street and Sawmill Valley Drive intersection in Newmarket. The ‘soft’ opening is bittersweet for the Belinda’s Place Foundation, which raised more than $1 million in community donations for the site and is currently in the process of transitioning into an advisory committee for the Belinda Stronach Foundation. “We’re celebrating, but at the same time our (current) role is finished,” Belinda’s Place Foundation president Debora Kelly said, noting the money raised will provide enhanced services and programs at the shelter. “The community has embraced Belinda’s Place and we’re so grateful for that. We’re feeling a flood of emotions right now. To get to the point where we have, this shelter — it’s unique within the region — is exciting.” The Salvation Army will oversee the daily operation of the site, as well as the Belinda’s Place website and social media accounts, Kelly said.

Syrian refugees still welcome ‘We will not be moved by fear,’ group says in wake of Paris attacks BY LISA QUEEN

lqueen@yrmg.com

touffville Cares started out in May as a handful of people getting together to brainstorm ideas on sponsoring a family from the Middle East to come to Canada. By fall, the movement to bring in a United Nations-registered family had captured the hearts of dozens as images of seemingly countless desperate refugees from Syria and other countries fleeing the horrific conditions of their homelands were shared around the world, including photos of the lifeless body of three-year-old Alan Kurdi lying on a beach following a failed attempt to escape to Europe. “What that photo did was put a face to the suffering. It raised awareness throughout Canada and throughout the world, no doubt about it, a three-year-old little boy,” Rev. Joan Masterton, the minister at Stouffville’s St. James Presbyterian Church, which is spearheading the Stouffville Cares campaign, said. “We had people walking in off the street (after seeing images of the plight of refugees throughout the summer). I had people emailing me. I had strangers walk in off the street with cheques.” The compassion embraced by Stouffville Cares was mirrored in communities across York Region and the country as Canadians scrambled to find ways to help, even making the plight of refugees a key issue in the federal election campaign. “And then Friday night happened,” Masterton said. Last Friday, terrorists killed 129 people and injured more than 350 during a series of co-ordinated attacks in Paris that left millions around the world reeling. In Canada, the attacks have left some questioning the wisdom of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s election promise to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by the new year. While Canadians appear to want the country to open its arms to refugees, some worry the rush of bringing thousands of displaced people to our shores within the next six weeks could override our ability to conduct adequate security and health checks. While his former Conservative government brought in 25,000 refugees from Syria and Iraq since 2009 and was committed to bringing in 20,000 more over the next year, Thornhill MP Peter Kent slammed the Liberals’ ambitious time frame. “I would hope the events in Paris will drive home to Prime Minister Trudeau and his cabinet that blind fulfillment of unwise promises in an unwise timeframe is not only unwise, but I think it’s unacceptable to most Canadians,” he said. “I certainly support their pledge, as I supported our pledge, to bring in refugees from Syria, but very carefully, very prudently and with the appropriate security clear-

ance before they arrive in Canada. I think it’s unrealistic to try and fulfill an election promise simply because it was an election promise.” Moving too quickly could leave Canada vulnerable to health and security risks, Kent said. “One of the big problems, and we’re seeing that Germany and other European countries are facing now in the flood of refugees who have migrated overland through Greece and into Europe, those refugee claimants who are found to be unworthy are very difficult to remove from the country,” he said, differentiating between refugees being referred by the United Nations and those who are not. “While here in North America and Canada and the United States, we don’t face the sort of mass migration that Europe has proven vulnerable to, I think we do need to be responsible and prudent in making sure the folks we welcome to the country are the sort of folks who will continue to make Canadian diversity the wonderful thing it is.” While Conservatives were painted as hard-hearted, ISIS poses a real threat, Kent said. “I think we have seen, and it is still very early days in terms of the Paris attack, but I think that some of the predictions that were discounted out of hand, that ISIS would use the mass migration to Europe as a cover to put terrorist cells in position to attack Western countries who stand against ISIS have proven to be real,” he said. York University professor Susan McGrath, who this week was presented with an award by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for her innovative work in leading the Refugee Research Network and in 2014 was awarded the Order of Canada for her contributions to refugee rights research and policy, said the Paris attacks shouldn’t change Canada’s approach to bringing in Syrian refugees as quickly as possible.

‘Not only do we need to meet the first 25,000 commitment we made, but, in my view, we need to plan for the next 25,000 and the next 25,000 and keep going until the crisis is abated.’ “Absolutely nothing has changed, other than people being anxious,” she said, adding most Syrian refugees are women and children living in desperate conditions. The Paris attackers were apparently from Belgium and if European-based terrorists are determined to come to Canada, they could get visitors’ visas much more easily

than going through the scrutiny UN-sponsored refugees face, McGrath said. “What we’re focusing on is trying to get these kids and families out,” she said. “People are living in dire straits. There is not enough food. The (UN) World Food Programme has had to cut back its funding so it is not a good situation. Not only do we need to meet the first 25,000 commitment we made, but, in my view, we need to plan for the next 25,000 and the next 25,000 and keep going until the crisis is abated.” Earlier this fall, Canadians showed a willingness to help alleviate the suffering of Syrian refugees, Immigration Minister John McCallum, the MP for Markham-Thornhill, said. That hasn’t changed in the wake of the Paris attacks, although the government is committed to properly screening refugees, he said. “The government is committed to a rigorous, balanced and compassionate response to this humanitarian crisis,” McCallum said in an email. “Effective security has always been paramount to the government’s planning around Syrian refugees. The resettling will

be accomplished in co-operation with provinces, territories and cities and with the relevant security authorities. This operation will be done without compromising security. The prime minister has reiterated the government of Canada’s commitment to immediately resettling 25,000 Syrian refugees.” Health Minister Jane Philpott, MP for Markham-Stouffville, is chairing a government committee to co-ordinate Canada’s plan to bring in Syrian refugees. While the committee is still working out details, the government remains committed to bringing in Syrians in response to the refugee crisis, while, at the same time, ensuring the newcomers are properly screened, she told reporters this week. “It’s an ongoing crisis, it’s an urgent and important crisis and we’re doing everything we can while obviously being very mindful of the health and security concerns,” she said.

ONTARIO JUNIOR CITIZEN AWARDS C

Police deliver sobering message to Sacred Heart students BY JEREMY GRIMALDI

ANNUAL

THE

STAFF PHOTO/JEREMY GRIMALDI

You’d think with horrific stories such as that of the Neville-Lake family, who had their three children and their grandfather wiped out in one blow by alleged drunk driver Marco Muzzo, the statistics around impaired arrests would be dropping. Instead, police are witnessing a resurgence of significant proportions. In 2015, the service has already made 1,500 arrests for impaired, which is up 200 from the same time last year. The numbers came into sharp focus as police delivered a sobering message to hundreds of Sacred Heart high school students a school assembly in Newmarket Tuesday. Teenagers attending the York Regional Police’s Enhanced Festive Season RIDE Program kickoff, were also met with a vehicle wreck as they exited the school’s front doors. The destroyed Kia was involved in a fatal car crash after it collided with a GMC Acadia, which crossed the centre line. In the end, the 23-year-old woman driving the car was killed. The male driver was later found guilty of impaired driving causing death and is awaiting sentencing. For York Regional Police deputy chief Thomas Carrique, the message he wanted the students to hear was simple: “Drunk driving is the No. 1 criminal cause of death in the country.” He said police are trying to change the messaging, making it less about statistics and more about the loss of human life and the individuals who suffer as a result. “We’re trying to connect to the people at the greatest risk,” he said, referencing the students present. “Until we stop looking at

it simply as a responsible choice and option and look at it as a crime, we won’t change behaviour.” He told the story of Judy Gerrard Simmons, a woman’s story that truly touched him. It was Simmons who would survive a car crash in the 1980s, caused by an impaired driver, which would claim the life of her first husband and 15-year-old daughter. “I think about her every day,” he added. As part of the launch, police will set up a RIDE check around the region every night until after New Year’s Day. The theme behind the event is the social media hashtag #ImTHATPerson, which is meant to encourage young people to not only speak out against impaired driving, but to take steps to ensure it doesn’t happen. That includes suggesting anyone attending a party where there will be drinking to take a cab, to ensure no one ever drives home after drinking and to call police should they ever witness impaired driving occurring. Grade 11 student Christine Barnes said she respects the police for speaking directly to teenagers. “I think it’s really important they are trying to get all these young people to understand what’s behind drunk driving,” she said, echoing Carrique’s thoughts. “It shows you the consequences and what can happen.” The 16-year-old added that although she has never witnessed impaired driving, she has attended parties where the host has ensured anyone drinking would be staying over. Another major theme of the event was the nine-year-old boy who called police on his mother recently after he suspected she was drunk driving. Dep. Carrique called him his new “hero”.

Ministry falls short on Hwy. 404 upgrades, region says i

BY LISA QUEEN

lqueen@yrmg.com

On the heels of a report showing York Region workers have the longest commute times in the Greater Toronto Area, regional officials are complaining the province is failing to consider the full needs of drivers on Hwy. 404. Regional chairman Wayne Emmerson and the mayors of municipalities along the highway are writing letters to Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca urging the province not leave out what they call key improvements to the 404. The Ministry of Transportation is undertaking a class environmental assessment study for the highway from Hwy. 407 to Green Lane. Recommendations include: Widening the highway to provide an high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction from the 407 to Green Lane in the existing grass median; Adding ramps to and from the north at Mulock Drive in Newmarket;

To read the full story, go to yorkregion.com

Reconfiguring the northbound ramps at 16th Avenue, which would be dependent on the closure and redevelopment of Buttonville Airport; Adding a new commuter parking lot at the southwest quadrant of the Major Mackenzie Drive interchange; Providing full lighting from the 407 to Green Lane. While regional officials praised the proposed improvements and acknowledged last year’s $87 million, 13-kilometre, four-lane extension of the 404 from Green Lane To Ravenshoe Road, they said the ministry is failing to include important upgrades. For example, the ministry is not considering building new interchanges at 19th Avenue and St. John’s Sideroad, providing ramp extensions at Hwy. 7, Major Mackenzie and Elgin Mills Road or protecting land for additional commuter parking lots.

For family, friends and program staff attending the Monday launch of the room named in memory of the late Dave Sherry, it is much more. The recently refurbished playroom, complete with a four-wall and ceiling mural, storage, soothing lights and audio-visual technology is a curative environment for children who have experienced sexual abuse or other forms of abuse-related trauma, explained program executive director Alison Peck. The inviting, cosy quarters honour Dave, a longtime program benefactor. “Dave Sherry was a wonderful man who

supported our programs for many years,” she said of the former CEO of Unity Connected Solutions. “He was an incredibly generous and open-hearted man and we were fortunate to be the charity of his choice. “Dave would blush a hundred shades of red if he knew this was being done. He was a very modest man.” In partnership with Unity and Dave’s widow, Erin Sherry, who assumed CEO duties, a fundraising initiative raised in excess of $16,000, enough to complete Dave’s Room and another at the Newmarket facility. “I really thought I’d be fine,” said Erin haltingly, dabbing tears. “This is something Dave believed in and it’s cool to see it come

to fruition. “Dave and our company were and continue to be very supportive of YRAP. It’s unfortunate that these services are necessary, but we’re thankful it’s here so people can get help.” While there was a meld of smiles and damp eyes, the official opening was “a feel good day,” Dave’s longtime friend and Unity sales and marketing vice-president Pat Lance said. “This is a way to remember the good person he was,” he said. “Dave was always all about people. Today is also our opportunity to thank everyone who contributed.” The delicately hued and muted mural, creatively wrapping the room, pays homage

to Dave’s life and personality, Lance said. One scene depicts Dave and son Craig working on a vintage 1968 Camaro. “They were always working and rebuilding it to make it run better,” he said. A Canadian flag stands tall, proud and unfurled against the breeze. “Dave was hugely Canadian,” he explained, adding that a pond hockey scene and a Muskoka chair capture the honouree’s passion for our national game and Ontario’s cottage country. In a corner, an owl peers wide-eyed. “That’s because Dave was wise in business and with people and he loved nature,” Lance said. The room is testament to the generosity of the enterprise Dave created and that of the community, Peck said. “Dave’s memory will live on,” she said. “It’s exciting that the kids here will ask about him and his story. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to talk about this man named Dave.”

So much for carefree school days. While many adults may think high school students have few cares beyond the mundane concerns of teenagers, often nothing could be further from the truth, according to students who attended a conference on mental health and addictions at the York Catholic District School Board education centre in Aurora Thursday. “I think a lot of these teenagers are underestimated or looked over for not having problems and I think that’s untrue because we go through a lot in high school,” Ida Marchese, a Grade 10 student at Holy Cross Catholic Academy in Woodbridge, said. “High school is a big change from elementary school and we’re given a lot of responsibilities, like writing tests, getting good marks, getting accepted into schools, universities, etc., so of course we would suffer from mental health issues. But there’s always a way to go through it and work through your problems.” The ninth annual TAMI (Talking About Addictions and Mental Illness) Stomping Out Stigma summit was a chance for students to find ways to address negative perceptions around mental health issues Marchese said. “We talk about mental health and what is stigma and how we can bring awareness to our schools about mental health and how we can help our peers with mental health,” she said. “It’s a good thing because a lot of people struggle with mental health and a lot of these people don’t want to admit it to themselves or to others. By showing other students that it’s OK to not be OK, it allows them to open up and to get the help they need.” Newmarket High School Grade 12 students Rose Kennedy and Jessie Zrnec agreed. “So many people are affected by mental illness, so it’s important to talk about it because it’s everywhere. I know people, my friends, who have depression and anxiety problems so it’s really important to help them,” Kennedy said. The summit was an opportunity for students to share their ideas and success stories, Zrnec said. “I found it was a really good way to meet other students who are really passionate

about it so we can share ideas and talk about why it is really important to us,” she said. Students from four schools — Newmarket High, Father Bressani Catholic High School in Vaughan, Richmond Green High School in Richmond Hill and St. Robert Catholic High School in Thornhill — shared some of the successful initiatives they have implemented to help tackle the stigma surrounding mental illness and addictions. For example, Newmarket High had a Just Notice campaign to encourage students to recognize those around them struggling with mental illness and addictions and a Twitter contest where students could tweet things they are grateful for. Father Bressani had students wrote derogatory words on Easter eggs and then broke them and this year is offering de-stress activities such as a bubble wrap burst and a tea room in the chaplaincy office. Richmond Green offered students buttons with emotional words on them to correspond to how they were feeling and this year plans to post sticky notes with sayings such as “take a break” and “breathe” on lockers during exam time. St. Roberts brought in de-stress puppies and clowns to help reduce students’ anxiety levels. The conference was a chance for students to get together to brainstorm, said TAMI summit co-chairperson Pat Kearns, who worked as a student support counsellor with the Catholic board before retiring in June. “It’s all about building awareness around mental health and addiction and to really inspire students to go back to their schools to build awareness and reduce that stigma around addictions and mental illness,” she said. “It’s an excellent thing. I worked in high schools for 27 years at the board and a lot of these students will not come forward because they are afraid they don’t matter, that no one will understand or they want to hide it because people will think they’re crazy, those kinds of things. We want to reduce that stigma, get rid of that stigma, so that they can help support one another.” In addition to TAMI, the conference was hosted by the Catholic board, the York Region District School Board and YRP. The TAMI Coalition is made up of school, police, youth, mental health and family resource officials.

Sharp-shooting Raiders corral Mustangs

he strategy was simple and straightforward: shoot the lights out early and tally up the points later. The Newmarket Raiders followed the game plan perfectly to claim a 62-52 victory over the St. Maximilian Kolbe Mustangs in the York Region Athletic Association girls’ senior Tier 1 basketball championship game Tuesday night at Keswick High School. Anchored by a 21-point game from Charlotte Clayton, including 13 in the first half, the Raiders

rolled to an 18-4 lead after one quarter and led 34-14 at halftime en route to the school’s fourth consecutive regional title. The win also earned the Raiders yet another berth at next week’s OFSAA triple-A provincial championship tournament in Windsor. “We came out strong,” said Raiders head coach Gad Perlmutter. “Charlotte was unbelievable. She came out ready to play. We told them to come out great and it would be over. I’ve got to give it to St. Max for fighting and coming back.” The early outpouring took away any doubt as to the eventual outcome although the deeper St. Max bench made a plucky run in the final minutes. “We were trying to tire them out, but we didn’t press them hard

enough to make them work hard enough,” conceded Mustangs head coach Steve Carraretto. “We tried to weather the storm, but the storm was just too thick. They are a phenomenal basketball team.” The Mustangs actually outscored the unbeaten Raiders in both the third and fourth quarters by a 38-28 margin, including a 16-2 spree to end the game and make the score a bit more flattering. The Raiders, who finished 8-0 in YRAA regular season and playoffs, nailed eight three-pointers, including five in the second quarter to account for 15 of their 16 points in that eight-minute segment.

Dominant forces in York Region high school football and girls’ basketball once again rise to top BY JOHN CUDMORE

Warriors just too much for Mustangs

he St. Maximilian Kolbe Mustangs were playing on the notion that anything can happen in a one-game showdown. The Huron Heights Warriors were content to rely on a triedand-true format to get the job done. Unfortunately for the Mustangs, most of what happened after the first quarter was not good in the York Region senior football Tier 1 championship game Saturday night, and in a matchup against a more experience and powerful opponent, almost everything has to go right to have a chance. The Warriors rode a four-touchdown performance by quarterback Colin Grant to emerge with a 42-3 victory over the home-field St. Maximilian Kolbe Mustangs in Aurora. The smaller Mustangs simply could not stop the bigger and more experienced Huron Heights offence. The Warriors scored on all five of their possessions in the first half en route to a 31-3 intermission lead to claim their seventh regional title from 12 consecutive appearances in the final. Grant ran for two touchdowns covering three yards, one from one yard out and a 51-yard gallop as the Warriors’ vaunted ground game was too much for the Mustangs to corral. C

To read the whole story, including the Tier 2 and junior results, visit bit.ly/1SEYdKd.

“We’re definitely bigger up front than they are,” said Warriors head coach Al Rover. “Our offensive line was able to move people around.” Huron drove the ball 80 yards on its opening possession, capped by a three-yard run by Grant, who was named game MVP. St. Max countered with an impressive drive led by the arm of quarterback Ben Langlois, ending with a 29-yard field goal from Jack Camplin. However, the Mustangs’ high-tempo, pass-oriented offence yielded no more points, actually surrendering a touchdown on an interception by Jamie Hollingworth and two conceded safeties in the second half to complete the scoring. Notably, all but one play from the Mustangs in the first half were passes by the strong-armed Langlois. An unusual delayed line formation and hurry-up offence kept the Warriors’ defence off balance before the Warriors took charge of matters with a smash-mouth ground game. “We haven’t seen that before,” conceded Warriors’ head coach Al Rover. “It took some getting used to. We knew they would be well prepared and spend some time getting their team ready for us.”

Tigers cool off slightly, remain 1st Jr. A

Last Week: Saturday — Lost 3-1 vs. Wellington Dukes … Friday — Won 3-2 at Lindsay Muskies. Coming Up: Friday vs. Orangeville Flyers, Aurora Community Centre, 7:30 p.m. … Saturday vs. Wellington Dukes, ACC, 7:30 p.m. Game Notes: Evan Kearns netted the Aurora goal as the Tigers lost to the Dukes for the second time this season. Former Barrie Colts/Windsor Spitfires goaltender Alex Fotinos made his Tigers debut in the loss, facing 28 shots … At Lindsay, captain Jordan DaSilva’s power-play goal in the fourth minute of the third period was the winner. Aurora outshot the Muskies 43-22. The Skinny: The Tigers enter the week three points ahead of the Markham Royals for top spot in the North Division. The latter have played two fewer games. Top spot is a significant issue, since the division winner gains at least a top-two seeding for playoffs. The Trenton Golden Hawks lead the way in the North-East Conference and the East Division’s Kingston Voyageurs are eight up on the Tigers as the second-place team … The Tigers have cooled off to start November, with just five points taken from their last five games … The loss to the Dukes ended a string of eight straight onegoal games for the Tigers … Defencemen Kyle Locke and Matthew Bernard along with forwards Daniel Mantenuto and Drake Board were Team Hawerchuck teammates in the Eastern Canada All-Star Challenge in Cornwall. The three-day tournament involving allstar teams from Ontario’s four leagues and Junior A leagues eastward ended last night … Board is the lone Tiger among the top 50 in league scoring. At 29 points, including 12 goals, Board is in a three-way tie for 12th place … Netminder Alex Brooks-Potts is ranked ninth in the league among goaltenders with a 2.54 goals against average and .917 save percentage … The Tigers’ netminding situation is muddled as both Brooks-Potts and Fotinos are in their final year of eligibility. Fotinos played last season for the Windsor Spitfires. Logic suggests general manager Thomas Milne will move one of the two. Record: 14-7-0-4, first in North Division; second seed in North-East Conference.

Canes set sights on Golden Hawks

NOTES

Central York ladies face off for 9th house league tourney Seventy teams are ready to face off as the ninth annual Central York Girls Hockey Association house league tournament faces off Friday at the Magna Centre in Newmarket. The three-day tournament will include teams ranging from novice to women’s age

categories and runs until Sunday. Opening ceremonies are scheduled for Saturday at 9:45 a.m. on the Honda rink. The tournament will also include the debut for Team Ontario Women’s sledge hockey, which faces off against Team Quebec for games Saturday (9:45 a.m. and 7 p.m.) and Sunday (11 a.m.). – John Cudmore

Friday — Won 4-1 vs. Georgetown Raiders. Coming Up: Tonight vs. Trenton Golden Hawks, Ray Twinney Complex, 7:30 p.m. … Friday at Lindsay Muskies. Game Notes: Tyson Bruce ignited a three-goal secondperiod outburst as the Markham Royals pulled away after leading 1-0 through 20 minutes to take a fivepoint lead on Newmarket for second place in the North Division standings. The loss ended a three-game win streak for the Hurricanes … Against Georgetown, Mark Rozanov’s second goal with 1:45 remaining broke a tie and sent the Hurricanes on to victory. Shorthanded empty-net goals by Jonathan Colley and Alex Ierullo iced the outcome. The Skinny: The Hurricanes hold on to the seventh playoff slot in the North-East Conference, a single point ahead of the Whitby Fury and three up on the North Division rival Stouffville Spirit … The Hurricanes’ stay at the .500 mark was brief, lasting 24 hours before the Royals handed the team its fourth shutout loss of the season. Newmarket, conversely, has blanked opponents twice … The only previous meeting of the season saw the Hurricanes and Golden Hawks skate to a 2-2 tie in Trenton. The Golden Hawks have won five straight games since … Todd Winder leads the Hurricanes with 21 points, but has just five in nine games since being acquired from the Aurora Tigers in a trade. He is tied at 51st league-wide in scoring … On the other side of the puck, goaltender Connor Ryckman is ranked fifth among puck-stoppers with a 2.16 goals against average and his save percentage of .932 is bettered only by the Georgetown Raiders’ Andrew Masters (.934) … Defenceman Adam Smith participated in the Eastern Canada All-Star Challenge, which wrapped up last night in Cornwall. Record: 11-11-1-1, third in North Division; seventh in North-East Conference.

Last Week: Saturday — Lost 5-0 at Markham Royals …

Garbett aims to impress as freshman at Bowling Green BY JOHN CUDMORE

Garbett won the Ontario provincial short course championship in the 400 individual medley for the 16-year-old age bracket in February. “She is a well-rounded swimmer and can swim anything,” said Stingrays head coach Alan Swanston. “She’s had a great year, actually over the last 16 months.” She believes her events will be the 100 and 200 breaststroke and 200 and 400 IM. “Those are my main events,” said Garbett, who intends to enter BGSU’s nursing program. “I’m hoping in some meets to do (butter)fly or freestyle, too.”

jcudmore@yrmg.com

There may be no better selling point for a recruit than the opportunity to be in the starting lineup as a freshman. That’s how Danica Garbett feels, too. The Queensville resident signed a national letter of intent Monday to accept a scholarship offer from Bowling Green State University, where she will join the Falcons swim team next season. The Newmarket Stingrays’ veteran agreed to the Bowling Green package with the knowledge that her results this season are at the top end of the team’s times for the breaststroke and individual medley events. Her IM times this season also would put her within range of top eight results in the Mid-Atlantic Conference. “I would be toward the top (results) of the BG team, but still have a couple of swimmers ahead of me to push me to get to the top level,” said the Grade 12 student at Sir William Mulock Secondary School in Newmarket. “Since I started swimming, I knew I wanted to go to the States and the NCAA level, but it really started to come about in the spring when schools started to contact me. I found out what I had to do to be eligible.” Garbett, 17, made four official recruiting trips, including University of New Mexico, University of Akron, Ohio and St. Bonaventure University in New York State. “I felt like BG fit better,” confirmed Garbett, a member of the Stingrays squad for the past eight years. “I had a good connection with the coaches. They’re both new and I felt

DANICA GARBETT they had an energy and commitment to the team. I just got a home feeling when I was there.” Garbett noticed that feeling again with an unofficial recent visit to the school, located in northwestern Ohio, about 24 kilometres south of Toledo. “It was a last face-to-face with the coaches and one last look at the school,” she confirmed.

As a true freshman, she expects to be competing immediately with a more experienced crowd, but that is not unlike the field she encountered competing against Canada’s top swimmers at the 2015 Canadian Pan American Games and world championships team trials. Although failing to qualify, it was good experience. “For higher end meets in Canada I’ve competed against all ages, so I’m used to it,” she said. “I’m not worried.” Her next meet is the Ontario Junior International competition in early December at the Pan Am Games pool in Scarborough.

Halls of fame must offer voice for yesteryearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heroes

individuals, teams and builders should and should not be included. The Newmarket Sports Hall of Fame, which held its sixth inductions Sunday afternoon in a modest 40-minute ceremony, is no different than any other similar institution at its core. Whether it is the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame, the Baseball Hall of Fame or the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the concept is the same.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trickier than it sounds when it gets down to immortalizing individuals for their sporting achievements for all time. A hall of fameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role is a place for recorded history for current and future generations to acknowledge, study and try to understand a previous time. By their nature, halls of fame can be sources for argument and controversy based on personal taste and opinions about which

John Cudmore Cuddy Shark one intended to promote transparency, should be only part of the procedure. For starters, the general public may appreciate the concept, but rarely shares the enthusiasm of those on the front lines trying to drum up interest. Newmarket added to its hall of sports honour this year with the inductions of players Jim Brennan (soccer), Joe Murphy (hockey) and Andrew Coates (running) in the athletesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; corner. Sally Brice (posthumously) and Marg Davis entered in the buildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; category for founding what is now the Newmarket Skating Club and the Talagoo lacrosse team, vintage 1909, joined in the team category to celebrate its national championship. The point is not to quibble over the qualifications of any of the inductees, either in Newmarket or Aurora, where an induction exercise was undertaken earlier this month. Rather, the issue is seeing to it that deserving men and women receive their due. There are inevitably deserving athletes and builders missing for the simple fact no one has put forth their name. In six years, the Newmarket hall has inducted 22 individuals and teams. The absence of some very worthy candidates that remain missing is a reasonable concern. At the very least, they deserve to be researched for validity, whether the public steps forward or not. The reality is, unless you are a long-time resident with a passion for municipal history, who really has a handle on movers and shakers from the 1930s, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;40s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s? For starters, Bill Thoms is one of a select group of National Hockey League players from the last century with 14 seasons in the big leagues to his credit. Even earlier, Jim â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dutchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cain who played 61 games with the Montreal Maroons and Toronto St. Pats in

the mid-1920s, should qualify by the standard set in the Newmarket hall. There are others worthy of consideration at least, starting with Larry Molyneaux (New York Rangers, 1937-39), Frank McNaught, and Aubrey â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ditâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Clapper, who played 20 seasons and won three Stanley Cups with the Boston Bruins. Their qualifications, ultimately, are left to the induction committee to evaluate. There needs to be a latitude for someone to step up for those people who played their sports at an elite level, but who may not have surviving family members able to speak for them. Any selection committee for a hall of fame must allow itself to ensure deserving individuals are recognized and inducted before time forgets them completely.

Age gap allowed Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing about winning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people love to hate those who win too often. Now, you may love the Huron Heights Warriors football program. Or, you might feel something less than admiration for the dominant high school program in York Region over the past dozen years, all of which have seen the Warriors compete in a regional final, winning seven times. The most recent triumph came Saturday night when the Warriors tackled the St. Maximilian Kolbe Mustangs 42-3 in Aurora, activating every anti-Warriors football fanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standard point of reference: they cheat because of all the fifth-year students on the roster. Similar sentiment echoes across social media, notably football-related forums, to which the proper response is: Yeah? So? It is within the rights of the Warriors to use fifth-year players, just as it is for any other team. Less commonly known is that policies pertaining to fifth-year athletes vary between schools. Some frown upon fifth-year students as athletes and draw their own lines in the sand to discourage the practice. To clarify, there is no rule in the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations that prohibits fifth-year players in sports â&#x20AC;&#x201D; providing they have not acquired the requisite number of credits for graduation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just as there is no rule prohibiting fifth-year members of the school band from picking up an instrument and playing it.

John McCracken gave to country, community BY SANDRA BOLAN

sbolan@yrmg.com

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;H

e was a little guy, but a big man,â&#x20AC;? is how Joan McCracken described her husband of nearly 50 years, John. John Sr. died in May at 78, just months shy of the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golden anniversary. However, before his death, he was already planning something special. He sent away for a congratulatory certificate from the prime minister. It arrived shortly after he died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We almost made our 50th, but he had to leave before that happened,â&#x20AC;? Joan said, remembering all those years they shared. John Sr. wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very good at sitting still. As a kid, he played soccer, rugby and hockey. Around age 17 he joined the Royal Canadian Navy as a submariner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wanted to see the world. Join the navy, see the world,â&#x20AC;? said his son, David, 49. He also wanted the challenge, according to son, John Jr., 47. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not too many people get into the submarine service,â&#x20AC;? he said. John Sr. was a leading seaman engineerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mate first class and is one of a handful of people who have crossed the Atlantic Ocean three ways â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by air, boat and under the water. In 1962 he was honourably discharged from the navy. Joan, 84, and John Sr. met in an east-end Toronto bowling league in 1963. Two years later, they married.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just melded. That was it,â&#x20AC;? she said. Despite now having a wife and two sons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; John Jr. and David â&#x20AC;&#x201D; John Sr., they admitted, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t home all that much. John Sr. worked for the TTC for 17 years while also running his own plumbing business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was the man around the house,â&#x20AC;? Joan said matter-of-factly and without an ounce of bitterness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was always on the go. Short legs, but boy could he move.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;He wanted to see the world. Join the navy, see the world.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; John Sr. helped anyone who needed it, no matter the time of day. But he also wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t opposed to getting a little help from his family. Joan recalled one night, while they still lived in Scarborough, John Sr. called her around 11 p.m. and asked her to make dinner for five guys who were all still working on a plumbing job. She managed to pull together a feast and brought it over. John Sr. was also noted for telling people on the job: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get a lot more done if you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to stop every four hours to eat,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? John Jr. recalled. While working for the TTC as an inspector, John Sr. asked Joan to knit him a scarf to keep him warm while he stood outside

verifying route schedules. His co-workers liked the scarves so much, which were TTCcoloured, they asked for one, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;My wife can do that for you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she recalled him saying on this occasion and many others. Joan knit between 15 and 20 scarves that winter. It just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Joan who was called in to help. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;?I need a hand, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming with me,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? John Jr. recalled of how he was hauled out to plumbing jobs with his father. The family moved to Musselmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake in 1968 to a house John Sr. built beside his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. Joan still lives there. John Sr. spent four years in the navy and never forgot them. He was a life member of Stouffvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Royal Canadian Legion Branch 459. John Sr. held executive positions at the legion, including president and past-president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dedicated,â&#x20AC;? is how current legion president Judy Bond described John Sr. Even as his health was failing last year, he attended all of the meetings and the Remembrance Day service, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As sick as he was, he still tried to carry on as best he could,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was bound and determined to do it.â&#x20AC;? At legion dances it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t uncommon for Joan to be without her dancing partner. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because her husband could often be found behind the bar helping out. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he did â&#x20AC;&#x201D; helped everybody and anybody who needed it, according to his family.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard guy to replace.â&#x20AC;? David said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too many people who step up like that anymore,â&#x20AC;? John Jr. added. John Sr. was also a member of the Kinsmen Club of Stouffville and a charter member of the Ballantrae and District Lions Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a joiner,â&#x20AC;? Joan recalled.

Metroland Media

Metroland Media When you’ve space travelled at more than 17,000 miles per hour – eight times faster than a bullet and 25 times the speed of sound – you’d think driving an earthbound vehicle to be quite bland. On the contrary beams astronaut and physician Dr. Dave Williams, president and CEO of Southlake Regional Heath Centre. In fact, four and two wheeled rides are fond footnotes in each chapter of his life as a distinguished surgeon, medical professor, licensed pilot, hospital administrator and Canadian Space Agency member. Canada’s first dual astronaut and aquanaut, recalls being a typical car-centric kid in his native Montreal. A neighbour worked at General Motors and would bring home highly detailed models of new automobiles. “We clamored to play with the Firebird and Camaro models,” he recalled. Licensed to drive at 16, Dave was allowed to drive his mom’s circa 1970 Toyota Corolla. He bought his first motorcycle, a Honda 125 dirt bike, the same year. “It wasn’t ridiculously fast and going on the highway was always entertaining,” he quipped. At 19, the lad, who would eventually be a future inductee to Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame and a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient, purchased a beefier Honda 350 motorcycle.

Cadenza is Kia’s bestkept secret

Cars and bikes still a blast

for astronaut and physician Dave Williams

The Good Doctor with his daily commuter, a 2013 Audi S4. This four-wheel drive beauty is “a driver’s car,” says Dave Williams.

Soon after he opted for a used, high mileage turquoise blue ’68 Firebird. As homage to his dad’s Welsh heritage he painted a Celtic dragon on the air intake cover. Talk of the 327 cubic inch V8-powered beast rekindled fond memories of a cramped cross-Canada adventure with four friends, rescuing a hitchhiker from a bear and continually having to crawl under the car to short a solenoid with a screwdriver to start the engine. Wheels have long threaded

the tapestry of Dave’s accomplished life, on the ground, under the sea and 400km aloft. From earning a Doctorate of Medicine and a Master of Surgery from McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine to serving as director of the McMaster Centre for Medical Robotics and Department of Surgery professor at Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine to present, vehicles were part of the journey. One in particular, a 1969 Tri-

umph Spitfire, holds a special place. His temperamental, iconic British sports car had been completely rewired twice, repainted thrice and, after joining the Canadian Space Agency in 1992, Dave drove the Ferrari-red hued version of the Spitfire in Houston, TX, while training at NASA. Its mechanical whims served him in good stead on his two Space Shuttle flights, in 1998 and 2007, he said, tongue firmly in cheek. He logged more Turn to page W2

LEFT: Dr. Dave Williams’ current rides include his exotic 162HP, 1200cc Ducati Diavel motorcycle and 2013 Audi S4. RIGHT: Southlake Hospital president and CEO Dr. Dave Williams is Canada’s only dual astronaut and aquanaut.

The 2016 Cadenza entry-level luxury sedan is Kia’s best-kept secret. But where it fits in the everexpanding list of sub-segments is a bit of a mystery. It’s smaller than the full-size K900 flagship sedan, but larger than the mid-size Optima. Kia itself describes the Cadenza as inbetween the two. At almost five metres long (4,970 mm) and with a wheelbase of 2,845 mm, that’s a full-size sedan to me. Especially considering that rear legroom is 935 mm, the passenger volume is 3,025 litres and the trunk boasts 451 litres of space. And just to confuse you more, in 2014 J.D. Power named the Cadenza the “highest ranked large car” in one of its regular initial quality surveys.

Entry-level luxury The Cadenza is powered by Kia’s trusty all-aluminum, direct injection V6 with 293 hp and 255 lb/ft of torque driving the front wheels through a six-speed Sportmatic automatic transmission. All-wheeldrive is not available. Running on regular fuel, consumption is rated at 12.7/8.4L/100 km city-highway. Suspension is MacPherson struts with gas shocks and stabilizer bar at the front and a multilink system with gas shocks at the rear. There are three trim levels with the base car starting at $37,995. I counted 33 standard features (too long to list here) but some include: eight-way power driver’s seat and four-way passenger seat both with dual-stage heat; dual zone climate control; rear camera and parking sensors; navigation system and Infinity 12-speaker audio system. The mid-trim Premium at $41,995 adds even more with panoramic sunroof, adaptive HID headlights, electric rear sun curtain, heated steering wheel and Turn to page W5

Love of vehicles played part in doctor’s journey to space Continued from W1 than 687 hours in space including a recordsetting 17 hours and 47 minutes performing spacewalks, part of his installation work at the International Space Station. All good space-walking astronauts need to know how to use tools, take equipment apart and make repairs, he advised. “Driving a Spitfire is an adventure,” the congenial doctor said. “It’s said Spitfire car clubs have so few meetings because the members are stranded on the highway. He cracks wise good-naturedly. He still owns the beloved Spitfire, albeit it’s on blocks and in storage. He has a passion for performance and perfection. Car-wise, he’s found that in his current daily ride, a 2013 Audi S4,

he said. The Audi’s four-wheel drive is a benefit, particularly on his commute to Newmarket from his Oakville home. “It’s a driver’s car,” he said of his NM Pfaff purchase. “It has a nice interior and great sound. It’s only had two minor issues over almost three years.” The man who lists piloting a vintage Mark14 Spitfire fighter on his bucket list, also has a dream car wish list. Given his druthers, an Audi R8 V10 or an Aston Martin DB10 a la James Bond would be on his radar. Off duty, Dave chills on his Ducati Diavel, an exotic, two-wheeled work of art sculpted on a 162HP, 1200cc power plant. “I ride it sedately,” he said, mindful, as a former ER surgeon, that speed kills. “If you want to race, do it on the track.”

Lincoln’s ‘Quiet Luxury’ not just for older buyers Neil Moore

Metroland Media I could hear Matt McConaughey’s gentle, southern drawl each time I slid behind the wheel: “I’ve been driving a Lincoln since long before anyone paid me to drive one . . . I didn’t do it to be cool . . . I didn’t do it to make a statement . . . I just liked it.” Actually, I prefer the Jim Carrey spoof of these Lincoln ads – check it out on YouTube – but either way, this 98-year-old automaker has been getting some attention. And not because it’s trying to match or outperform its taut-handling, high-strung European rivals. Lincoln isn’t playing the same game as Cadillac, but instead has set its crosshairs on the more comfy-riding Japanese brands, Lexus in particular. I’ve often joked that Lincoln is granddad’s ride – possibly his last one. And that it’s so quiet you may think you’ve already shed the mortal coil. Indeed, the passenger cabin of my allwheel-drive MKX tester (starting at $45,890, but optioned to $65,090) was a cocoon against the daily grind, aided not only by abundant sound-deadening materials and active noise control (cancelling unwanted sounds through the audio system), but with the suspension’s continuously-controlled damping (CCD). A full suite of sensors monitors suspension, body movement, steering and braking – and adjusts damping in milliseconds. The driver-selectable CCD (comfort-normalsport) still leaves you feeling connected to the pavement, at least gravitationally, but without the harshness that comes with expansion joints, bumps and potholes. Lincoln’s goal is “Quiet Luxury.” This may sound cliché, not to mention being aimed at

an older demographic, but it’s an experience that resonates with buyers not expecting a visceral connection with their automobile, and who have little desire to carve corners or hear the sonorous growl of the exhaust. These folks just want to arrive at their destination relaxed, refreshed, and with a minimum of drama – which includes the kind we autojournalists typically enjoy. But make no mistake. The MKX will rise to the occasion when prodded. Its base 3.7-litre, naturally aspirated V6 is no wimp, producing 303 hp and 278 lb/ ft of torque along with rated fuel economy of 14.4/10.3/12.5 L/100 km city/hwy/comb. That’s more muscle than the Lexus RX, albeit a little thirstier. My tester was powered by the available 2.7-litre, twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, which dials it up to 335 hp and 380 lb/ft at 3,000 rpm. That’s a lot from such small displacement. It’s also the same engine as the $45,199 Edge Sport, which shares the platform but makes 20 hp and 30 lb/ft less. In regular Drive mode, the MKX moves quickly off the line, its six-speed automatic swapping gears smoothly and quietly. With so much torque available, passing is brisk and it comes with an audible exhaust note – civilized, not raucous. After all, this is a Lincoln. Sport mode delivers a quicker throttle response and later gear changes, but probably won’t get much use from most MKX buyers. Ditto for the tiny paddle shifters. None of this, of course, contributes to the Zen-like experience that Lincoln buyers demand. Which begins in a cabin that is rich in premium materials like perforated leather upholstery, genuine wood accents and aluminum trim. Standard features include heated 10-way power front seats with driver memory, power tilt/telescopic (leather-wrapped) steering with audio and cruise controls, dual-zone

LEFT: The cocoon-like interior is appointed in rich materials like perforated leather, real wood and (available) aluminum. RIGHT: Wide shoulders, LED taillamps and integrated dual exhausts give the Lincoln MKX a sophisticated, yet muscular look from the rear.

The Lincoln MKX shares the same platform as the Ford Edge, but little else. A horizontal execution of the Lincoln split-wing grille fronts a slippery shape with high beltline, large wheel openings and massive 21-inch alloy wheels.

climate control, smart key with push-button and remote start, premium 10-speaker audio (with subwoofer) managed via an eight-inch display, reverse sensing system, power tailgate and “Lincoln Experiences.” The latter feature wakes up as you approach the vehicle. Door handle pockets softly glow, a Lincoln “welcome mat” projects on the ground, and LEDs gently illuminate the interior. And it all shuts down, in reverse order, when you leave the vehicle. The current MKX is without the more intuitive SYNC 3 infotainment. I’ve driven enough Fords and Lincolns to navigate the old SYNC system with MyLincoln Touch, and with enough practice, you hopefully can too. My tester was upfitted with a pile of extras, and if you have the budget, MKX can be made posh enough to offset any quibbles with finicky infotainment. For example, $1,175 will get you 22-way power front seats with massage. It offers adjustability for side bolsters, lumbar and much more, tailoring the buckets to your backside. And the kneading massage (with heat) is nice for those early morning winter commutes. As is the optional heated steering wheel. It’s part of a long content list that comes standard with the 2.7-litre turbo that starts nearly $10K more than the naturally aspirated MKX. Included are seat cooling/heating in front and heating in rear, panoramic “Vista” roof with power sunshade, navigation, blind spot monitor with cross-traffic alert, auto high beams and more.

My ride also had the Luxury Package ($5,500), which, along with adaptive headlamps, includes the 19-speaker Revel audio system. A little pricey, perhaps, but my classic rock collection never sounded so good. Overall, the MKX driving experience will appeal to more buyers than we gearheads are willing to admit. Not because it delivers heart-pounding excitement. But because it doesn’t.

No shortage of premium features on Kia Cadenza Continued from W1 heated windshield wipers, premium leather seating and more. Tested here is the Tech at $47,595 that gives the passenger eight-way power seating, smart cruise control, blind spot and lane departure alert, and get this, a rear armrest with USB charger. And, or course, there is more. Even from 100 meters away you can tell this is Kia by the largish “Tiger Mouth” grille and the tidy rear end styling. Attention to detail includes four little strakes on each outside mirror to lessen drag and wind noise. Inside, the impression is of space, with the rear seat looking a long way back. The available rear power sunshade is a nice touch. The Premium and Tech both get Kia’s “Supervision” TFT instrument cluster, which is large and visible even in direct sunlight. The Tech also comes with Kia’s FlexSteer that enhances the electric power steering with a driver-selectable three modes – Comfort, Normal and Sport. Normal is for everyday driving, while Comfort is for highway cruising. Sport tightens steering wheel response to improve handling. The Cadenza is equipped with a full suite of driver safety aids including ABS, traction control, Vehicle Stability Management, Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Brake Force Distribution, Brake Assist System and Hill Start Assist Control. This is a great highway car and I used it to its fullest advantage, covering just under 1,000 km, including a drive down to Windsor for my high school reunion. That meant I used the adaptive cruise control that is found on the Tech quite a bit. It activated very smoothly, slowing me gently as I came up on a slower car and picking up speed quickly as I pulled around to pass.

I didn’t like these things at first because of the feeling of not being in full control, but I have to admit it’s growing on me. With such a long wheelbase, the ride is supple with the “Comfort” FlexSteer setting being perfect for this. Noise intrusion was minimal. After a long drive this is the kind of car you emerge from relaxed. During the drive I had a lot of time to play around with the infotainment system, with the map/destinations I plugged in being sharp and bright on the eight-inch centre stack touch screen. The 12-speaker Infinity sound system with SiriusXM was great and I really enjoyed having Plash Phelps from 60 on 6 along for the ride over several days. Adding to the experience was the driver’s seat power cushion extender. An interesting feature on the Cadenza is available front door windows with hydrophobic glass that actually repel water, and instantly, according to Kia. The 2016 Kia Cadenza has it all and should be in every entry-luxury buyer’s list. It’s really a diamond in the rough.
