WARD 5 BYELECTION

Candidate wants redevelopment moved to tennis court BY CHRIS SIMON

P

csimon@rmg.com

eter Geibel is trying to think differently on the Main Street clock tower project. Perhaps you can’t blame the Ward 5 councillor candidate for attempting to come up with a unique solution to one of the most controversial redevelopment projects in Newmarket. While most of the eight byelection candidates discuss the validity of the proposal on its current site along Main, Geibel may stand out by proposing a full-scale move to the tennis court land north of the Newmarket Community Centre and Lions Hall on Doug Duncan Drive. “This would offer a viable site for the developer, increased density for Main, encompass the much needed additional public parking, revitalization of a generally overlooked area and through a straight land swap for the clock tower property, could likely be cost neutral,” he said. “I know this idea will be open to plenty of questions and speculation, but, in short, there is nothing currently which says this could not happen.” Geibel said he will unveil his platform, which includes a detailed plan for the project, later this week. Most of the other candidates oppose the Forrest Group’s current seven-storey proposal. The draft proposal, which was initially introduced as a condominium development several years ago, had been

amended into a rental apartment project recently. However, Forrest Group president Bob Forrest, who is overseeing the project, confirms the development may revert back to condos. The new design appears to include 156 units. Candidate and realtor Wasim Jarrah, who publicly supported the clock tower proposal earlier this year, now says any downtown development must be respectful of the surrounding neighbourhood. He believes the municipality’s planning process will ultimately find the best solution to the matter. “We need to ensure Main continues to be revitalized and any development needs to be respectful of… the heritage character of the neighbourhood,” he said. “I trust the planning process is a means to ensure all interests are heard and that a sensible solution can be reached with buy-in from all concerned. There is a way to satisfy residents’ legitimate concerns and I believe following the process can get us to that sensible solution. I know my approach is the one that will allow us to reconcile those currently on differing sides.” The clock tower is one of the town’s most controversial redevelopment projects and it has already drawn the ire of one of the Main Street District Business Improvement Area’s board of management, which See page A4.

Pro-clock tower redevelopment advocates Wasim Jarrah (from right), Dave Kempton and Art Weis insisted Main Street businesses need the development to bring young people to the area to support a regular customer base, during an interview with The Era earlier this year.

decade can change the fate of a charity run. Ten years ago, Newmarket’s Terry Fox Run was on the verge of folding. However, new leadership and a hard-working, dedicated team of volunteers shifted the event’s course since, with 950 participants pulling in more than $90,000 last year. “We had a fabulous year last year for the 35th anniversary,” Muriel Lee, who has helped organize the run for the last 10 years, said. “We’re hoping to do it again this year. In the 26th year… it was in jeopardy of not happening. We have a really good team. We’ve found a core group of dedicated volunteers who have really helped

out. The community’s just been fantastic.” In Newmarket, this year’s run will be held at the Ray Twinney Recreation Complex, 100 Eagle St. W., Sept. 18. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the run starts at 9 a.m. Participants are encouraged to bring a water bottle for refills, but refreshments, snacks and barbecued food will be provided. You can sign up for one or fivekilometre routes. The run will also include face painting, kids’ activities, a raffle and a disc jockey. The annual, non-competitive run takes place in more than 9,000 communities across Canada every year. There is no entry fee or minimum pledge

Working poor increasing in York Region BY LISA QUEEN

lqueen@yrmg.com

The growing number of working poor comes as no surprise to the executive director of York Region’s Food Network. “Of course it’s worrisome and we’ve been ignoring it long enough,” Joan Stonehocker said. “I think what we’re seeing from the food end of things is more and more people are struggling to eat because they are spending more and more on housing. Affordable housing is not getting to the people who need it the most.” Stonehocker was reacting to a new report coming to regional council Sept. 22 on the increasing number of working poor in the region. “For some, having a job is not enough to pull them out of low income and they can face challenges in making ends meet,” the report by the region’s community and health services department stated. It traces trends from 2006 to 2012 based

on information from Statistics Canada’s 2006 and 2012 income tax data. In 2012, 42,930 residents of residents aged 18 to 64, or 8 per cent, were classified as the working poor. That was up from 31,270, or 6.6 per cent, of that age group in 2002. The region’s working poor are aging, the report said. Residents 30 to 44 years old were the largest age group among the working poor in York Region in both 2006 and 2012. However, the number of older workers (44 to 64 years old) increased faster and, as a result, made up a growing percentage of all working poor, it said. This trend was likely driven by York

Region’s overall aging profile and possibly the impact of 2008-09 recession on older workers who lost jobs and found it difficult to find new jobs at similar rates of pay as their old jobs. Not surprisingly, the majority of the region’s working poor live in the more densely populated southern municipalities. Markham had 38.6 per cent of the region’s working poor in 2012, compared to Vaughan’s 24.1 per cent and Richmond Hill’s 20.1 per cent. In the north, 5.6 per cent of the working poor lived in Newmarket, 3.2 per cent lived in Aurora, 3.3 per cent lived in Georgina, 1.4 per cent lived in King, 1.3 per cent lived in East Gwillimbury and 2.5 per cent lived in Whitchurch-Stouffville. More than 40 per cent of York residents surveyed live with some degree of unstable job prospects, such as working irregular hours, on short term contracts or without benefits, a report from the United Way of Toronto and York released in April said.

passed a resolution opposing the redevelopment plans late last year. Newmarket’s heritage advisory committee also asked council to deny the application. Tom Pearson says the issue will eventually be settled in the courts. “It’s interesting we’re being asked a question about an opinion on something that, in the end, will be decided by an adjudicator and not on any council vote,” he said. “A tremendous amount of time and expertise go into making official plans and so who are councils to just change them without a due process? Why have an official plan if we’re not going to use it or change it when we want? Why ask the public and experts’ input and their time if we can just disregard it when a developer asks us too?” The municipality should establish a committee tasked with closing loopholes in town heritage and planning bylaws and consider penalizing downtown property owners who allow storefronts to sit vacant and fall into disrepair. Candidates Darryl Wolk and Ron Eibel signed that petition. “I am 100 (per cent) opposed to seven storeys of rental or condos in our historic downtown,” Wolk said. “There is a heritage bylaw capping buildings at three storeys so that nothing exceeds our Old Town Hall, former post office and churches. I will not be voting for any land swap or making any deal with the developer that does not respect our bylaw. This will open the floodgates for other high-rises downtown and reverse gains we have made on Main in recent years. I support rental, condos and affordable housing on Yonge (Street) and Davis (Drive) where we have invested hundreds of millions in bus lanes.” Eibel, a member of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, called the current proposal “ungainly” and says it would “loom” over Main if constructed as planned. “People have worked hard now for many years to breathe life back into Main, in a continuing effort to make it a fantastic place to visit,” he said. “By trying to shoehorn a massive seven-storey construct into such a small and fragile footprint their efforts would be lost. That’s simply not right.” Tracee Chambers, who owns a century home in the area, says the current proposal would be “detrimental to the historical ambiance” of the area. “Main Street has a uniqueness of its own and is a popular destination spot for residents and visitors alike,” she said. “In addition, approving a plan for upward expansion of the clock tower would create a domino effect with other building owners in the area. I am interested in finding creative and inspirational solutions that do not compromise business interests and heritage authenticity.” While traffic safety advocate Bob Kwapis opposes the project as it stands, any redevelopment at the site should include condos. “While I support redevelopment of the site, it must not add to parking challenges on our Main Street and negatively impact traffic in our downtown core,” he said. “I’m confident we will find a height solution to provide housing that benefits a variety of businesses on Main. An ownership model that offers condos better meets our needs in the downtown core. It allows ownership for many young and older residents, while, at the same time, (it) can accommodate those who want to provide their units for rent. Purpose-built rental units will find greater success when placed on our high-order transit corridors of Davis and Yonge.” Fellow traffic safety advocate Ian Johnston did not submit a response.

HOUSING SERIES — PART 1

York man hopes he can move out of basement by 30 At 24, Nick DeRyck has saved $12,000 to put toward a future home of his own BY LISA QUEEN

A

THROUGH THE ROOF

lqueen@yrmg.com

t 24, Nick DeRyck has done everything anyone could expect of him as a young adult. After graduating from Newmarket’s Huron Heights Secondary School, he completed a two-year police foundations course, choosing Seneca College’s nearby King campus, in part so he could live at home to save on expenses. While he plans on a career as a police officer, he now works at Cardinal Golf Club in King for his third season, recently wrapped a part-time summer job with a beer company and will once again get a job for the winter, hopefully this time something more career-oriented than the snowplowing jobs he’s had in the past. While he has a couple of hobbies that cost him money — buying guitars, purchasing car parts for his 1986 Firebird and playing goalie on a hockey team — DeRyck has saved about $12,000 towards buying a home. But he wonders if he’ll ever have enough money to move out of the basement of his parents’ semi-detached house, for which he pays $400 a month in rent. While he gets along well with his parents and two siblings, DeRyck is hoping his frugal lifestyle will allow him to buy his own home by the time he turns 30. “I don’t mind (living at home) at the moment, but I definitely don’t want it to be a lifelong thing,” he said while sitting at the family’s kitchen table. “It’s kind of discouraging that the prices are getting ridiculously high. Here in Newmarket, I think the lowest house would probably be, if you’re lucky, around $600,000.” While DeRyck knows past generations had to save and work hard to get their footing in life, he feels today’s sky-high housing market makes it that much more daunting for today’s young people. “The down-payments are ridiculous amounts of money now. Even to get your foot in the door is extremely hard. It just makes you feel like it’s going take forever,” he said. He is left wondering how far away he will have to move to afford a home. DeRyck is far from alone, according to Bradford mortgage broker James McNeill with Centum Mortgage Professionals Corp. “The opportunities are not there. When

A series on housing prices

I graduated school or even when I was going to university, I could work (at a wellpaying factory job) and earn enough to move out of the house. I moved out of the house at 18,” he said. “Right now, that is unrealistic because of the cost of living and the opportunity to earn is not there, it’s just not there.” A report released last month by TheRedPin Brokerage, a Toronto area web-based realty service, shows the dizzying housing prices in the Greater Toronto Area. To buy a detached home in the GTA, where the average price is $950,000, you need a household income of $165,000. For a semi-detached home, with an average price of $661,760, your household income needs to be a minimum of $117,860. The average priced $603,900 townhouse requires a household income of $108,370. You need a household income of $74,827 to buy a condo, which costs an average of $406,845. For DeRyck, even staying in Newmarket, one of the less expensive communities in York Region, is doubtful at best. With the average cost of a home being $761,000, he would need a household income of $134,600 and could expect mortgage payments of $2,725. By comparison, the average price of buying a home in Aurora is $941,000, requiring a household income of $162,740, while in Markham it is $960,100, making a minimum household income of $161,660 necessary,. In Richmond Hill, the average price is almost $1.07 million, necessitating a household income of $179,550, while Vaughan’s average price of $921,700 requires a household income of $156,730 and WhitchurchStouffville’s average price of $920,460 requires a household income of $157,680.

TIPS FOR BUYING A HOME

Susie Kockerscheidt/ Metroland

Despite his education, job and saving money, Newmarket’s Nick DeRyck wonders when he will be able to afford to move out of his parents’ home and get a place of his own.

Bradford mortgage broker James McNeill offered a number of tips for young people considering buying a house: • You can buy a house for as little as 5 per cent down, however the non-traditional mortgage must be insured by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp. • Budget properly.Your monthly housing costs should not be more than 32 per cent of your gross monthly income and your entire debt load should not be more than 40 per cent of your gross monthly income. • Save money. Sure, the latest tech toy may look good, but keep your eyes on your long-term goal

of home ownership. For example, consider living at home during post-secondary years and even after you graduate. • Keep debt to a minimum. • Maintain a good credit rating. • Consider buying outside the GTA. • Consider employment outside the GTA where there are lower housing costs. • Lenders will generally want to see you have two years’ employment history before approving you for a mortgage. • Set aside 1.5 per cent of the cost of your home for closing costs such as legal fees.

Happy Hoppers want to know: Do you do-si-do? By Mike Barrett

mbarrett@yrmg.com

Summer is waning, the harvest is nigh and once again The Happy Hoppers are offering a free introduction to modern square dance Sept. 19. This is the club’s 41st year and co-president Reg O’Brien says that is something to celebrate. People think modern square dancing is for older folks, but it’s not — it’s for everyone, O’Brien said, explaining the club is seeking members of all ages and no partner is

required. The club promotes square dancing as beneficial in the physical, mental and social dimensions. “It’s like mathematics on your feet,” O’Brien said. “There’s a lot of geometry involved.” The final free introductory class takes place Sept 19 at 7 p.m. in the Newmarket Seniors Meeting Place, 474 Davis Dr., Newmarket. Club sessions for beginning and advanced participants continue through the fall and winter. For more information, call 905-895-1764.

Members of The Happy Hoppers help newcomers learn the steps at an open house, Monday at the Newmarket Seniors Meeting Place. Another free introductory session will be hosted Sept. 19 at 7 p.m.

It’s back to school time! Written by Karman Lock, Lawyer This can be an exciting time for some kids and maybe a bit upsetting for others. For parents that are separated, it can be an especially stressful time. Questions come up about how much time the children should be spending with each parent or how the school holidays and PA days are going to be shared. Afterand before-school care, school supplies, and fees for extracurricular activities can add up quickly, and it can just as quickly turn into a disagreement about who should be paying for these expenses. Then there are those awkward situations like parent-teacher meetings and other school events where both parents want to be there for their kids.

It doesn’t just end when your kids graduate high school. These questions continue and new issues arise when your kids are starting college or university. In family law, children that attend post-secondary after finishing high school are considered to still be in need of support. But, does Child Support change if they are living away during university? If they are living in residence, does that expense have to be covered by the parents? What if the child is also paying for some of their own expenses?

HST cut on hydro a wholly political move

Bernie O’Neill

I

f you happened to hear or read this week’s provincial speech from the throne, you can be forgiven for wondering if Ontario’s Liberal government has come down with a case of amnesia. Still stinging from the recent byelection loss in Scarborough-Rouge River — a riding that had been a Liberal stronghold since its creation in 1999 — Premier Kathleen Wynne prorogued the provincial legislature last week to give her government a mid-mandate reboot. Monday’s throne speech was meant to set the tone for the next two years and featured a set of new promises including pledges to increase the number of child-care spaces, improve student math scores and eliminate the 8-per-cent provincial share of the 13 per cent HST levied on electric bills for homes, small businesses and farms effective Jan. 1. The latter move is expected to save the average residential hydro customer about $130 per year, while, at the same time, taking approximately $1 billion out of the government’s coffers on an annual basis. “Whether in Kenora, Sudbury Belleville, London or Barrie, your government has listened and has heard your concerns,” reads the speech delivered by Lt.-Gov. Elizabeth Dowdeswell. “It recognizes that the cost of electricity is now stretching family budgets.” That’s rich coming from this government. Warnings from the opposition parties, businesses and Ontario residents alike about the increasingly unaffordable cost of electricity in this province have been ignored by the Liberals since winning power in 2003 as hydro rates went from a flat fee of 4.3 cents per kilowatt hour to as much as 18 cents per kwh should you have the misfortune to use an electrical appliance during on-peak times. For the Liberals to suddenly say they realize that the cost of hydro has resulted in hardships for Ontarians and that they’re here to help is insulting. It ignores the fact they’ve not only been hearing about the problem for years, but their policies are the predominant reason we’re in this mess to begin with. Either they’ve completely forgotten the last 13 years of rate increases or they don’t comprehend that raising prices in such a dramatic fashion creates added hardship for ratepayers. It’s difficult to say which is worse. Equally galling is the fact that their relief is a measure the opposition parties have lobbied for since the GST and the PST were combined into the HST six years ago. To give credit where it’s due, the government had the right idea when it came to closing the province’s coalfired generators and improving reliability in the system, but it did so in such an overly costly, ham-fisted manner that what should have been a series of laudable accomplishments has been marred by scandal and controversy. In any case, the province may try and forget what has occurred with the energy file and gloss over it with this HST cut on hydro bills — which will undoubtedly be offset by additional costs somewhere else — but Ontarians’ memories aren’t so short. And with this being the opening gambit for the next general election in this province, nor should they be.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Baby Boomers to blame for health care mess Re: Wynne has destroyed out medical system, letter to the editor by John Fennell, Sept. 8. Unfortunately, your experience with Southlake is a far too common occurrence. Southlake is still a second-class centre with limited services, not the first-class centre it pretends to be. That is why it is not a general hospital. On weekends, it is reduced to a first-aid station. Patients need to go to Toronto for serious care. Premier Kathleen Wynne is only partially to blame. The problem reaches back a full 50 years. Baby Boomers as a group are responsible for today’s mess. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario is long obsolete and impotent in managing Ontario doctors. It needs to be relieved of its powers and responsibilities, replacing it with a body attuned to the care of people, not doctors. The college controls how many doctors are trained and any punishments they receive. Shortages are enforced to keep demand for doctors maxed and physicians plush. Now the doctors want to be unionized employees. Maybe they should join OPSEU or CUPE instead of CPSO. At one time, hospital emergency departments always had additional specialists on-call 24/7 to support those actually “on-site”. Doctors who refused, gave up any privileges at the hospital — essentially forced to retire. Surgeons are the largest group of specialists, hence they had the biggest pool from which to draw. There’s no excuse for not having a surgeon available. Diagnosing an inflamed and erupting appendix was a fundamental skill to be mastered. Removal of same included. There is absolutely no excuse for turning away a sick patient requiring surgery. When ultrasound wasn’t available, you used palpation and similar “hands-on” skills. If there wasn’t a surgeon onsite, the on-call list was activated and the ER worked its way down the list until a surgeon respond-

ed/arrived. Failure to respond when it was your turn was grounds for prompt suspension, possibly dismissal from active staff privileges. The chief of surgery was responsible for the department’s performance. Wynne is only the latest floundering premier. Numerous Conservatives, Liberals and even NDP came before her. Perhaps if cancelled power plants hadn’t surfaced, wasting millions of dollars, there might be funding for emergency rooms.

Wynne not to blame for health care woes Re: Wynne has destroyed out medical system, letter to the editor by John Fennell, Sept. 8. The shortcomings of our health care system can’t be blamed solely on Premier Kathleen Wynne. What about the people who voted for a 2 per cent cut to the GST? According to economists, this takes out $14 billion from government coffers per year. What about cross-border shoppers and passengers using American terminals? These dealings take jobs and taxes out of the economy. What about businesses dealing in cash, avoiding paying GST? I think this is where some of the blame should fall.

Re: Wynne has destroyed out medical system, letter to the editor by John Fennell, Sept. 8. I read with some disbelief (shock) the account of a young lad’s treatment at Southlake’s emergency department. There surely is another side to the story than the one described. I have been to the emergency department at Southlake a few times and have never seen anything remotely like the situation described. My latest encounter with the emergency at Southlake started Sept. 20, 2015. I went to the hospital “not feeling well” followed by a trip to the hospital by ambulance “feeling just awful.” This was followed by another trip to emergency with chest pain. This all led to tests and doctors concerning my heart, complete with two stress tests and more doctors visits to find out there was nothing wrong with my heart, but, I had developed cancer. What a shock. The main drift of the story is that I received immediate treatment a Southlake hospital and the Stronach Regional Cancer Centre, which can only be described as 110 per cent. The doctors, nurses, administrators, lab technicians and volunteers were very caring and compassionate throughout my entire treatment process. This also applies to the nurses at the Community Care Access Centre on Leslie Street. My thanks to them all for their part in arresting/curing my cancer. Let this be a good news story, which I am sure far out ways the few negative stories that arise from time to time.

It has always been my understanding that the ponds at the Glenway Golf Course were going to be left on-site for a greenspace area and for aesthetic reasons. Imagine my surprise today, when I drove across Davis Drive and saw that the ponds facing Davis had been drained. It was a horrible sight. Gee and golly, the developers might be able to jam two more houses in this pond area. I always wonder if the developers run and own Newmarket? Does the town even check what these developers are doing to the land? We are so sad about what these developers have done to Glenway, to the town of Sharon and the overall jamming and ugliness of some of the homes. Is there anything that can be done?

hat do you think of today’s house prices? The answer you might have if you’re a politician, “policy analyst” or parent of 20-somethings is to be outraged simple townhouses are exceeding the $500,000 mark. “Did you see how much they’re asking for that place? Ridiculous!” you hear a neighbour say, although he or she has a glint in their eye and the calculator is clicking in their head about what their place might fetch one day. The Toronto Real Estate Board says as of September the average price of a detached home in York now exceeds $1.2 million. Wow! So there’s definitely that sentiment that when someone puts a house up for sale, everyone on the street hopes they get the max, there is a bidding war or the secretive, wealthy person in a foreign land desperate to get their wealth into a safe haven like Canada, will buy the place sight unseen, well over asking price. Which all sounds dandy, except that you have to think it is all going to end badly some day, when our own kids are forced to move to Wawa to find a home they can afford. (Wawa is a nice place — I lived there for a year — a good place to raise kids, they say — you just have to accept that it is very close to fishing and snowmobile trails and far from the ROM, Roy Thomson Hall, the ACC, etc.) Or when businesses in the GTA or Vancouver cannot attract workers because those workers can’t afford to live there. Which might drive up wages in the long run, sure. But it might also precipitate an exodus of businesses from large urban centres when, in this digital age, where you work doesn’t matter so much. Of course, there’s the other phenomenon, felt closer to home: the “kids” who never move away. Which will have a broader societal impact as our beloved sons and daughters spend their 20s and then 30s, single and living in mom and dad’s basement, playing video games or watching Netflix and forever raiding the snack supply as he or she saves up for the required downpayment that gets bigger every year. They dream the parents will leave the family home to them, or sell it and “lend” them the huge downpayment dough. But who can sell when everything out there to buy costs so much? So while it may be great for some — homeowners who have built up a lot of equity and are at an age where they could sell and downsize or sell and move to some town that is much cheaper — it could be crippling for others. An infusion of wealth into our economy, sure. But ... A lot of the GTA demand is due to normal growth and lack of supply. With B.C. clamping down on foreign buying, it will add to demand here. Where does it end? Think of it this way — there’s suddenly huge demand for Ontario’s farm products. It’s wonderful at first. Prices shoot up and our grocers and farmers get rich! Great! Until a bunch of us can’t afford food at the new higher prices — and end up at the food bank. Mind you, the great thing about real estate is that it is a “real” asset. Unlike a field of corn, which you cannot really live in (Field of Dreams excepted) you get to live in a house, walk around in your bare feet in it, let the dog scratch the hardwood floor, occasionally burn the dinner and have the place fill with smoke — because you got distracted when the washing machine overflowed and water seeped into the floor — and someone still wants to give you a million dollars for it! Amazing! For now, I just try to think of our place as “home sweet home,” where the dog comes running to greet me at the end of the day, and not as an investment I will need to make some high-stakes and life-changing decision about, down the road. I sleep better that way. —Bernie O’Neill is the editor of the Markham Economist & Sun newspaper

5 things that can be recycled in York BY TERESA LATCHFORD

tlatchford@yrmg.com

Every week, York Region residents make sure their recycling hits the curb, but there are some things that just don’t fit the bill when it comes to the blue box program. There are plenty of items that can still be recycled at one of York Region’s drop-off locations. For a list of locations, search “waste depots” at york.ca.

1

Cooking oils: Liquid cooking oil such as vegetable, canola, sunflower and olive poured down the drain result in costly sewage pipe repairs every year, according to York Region. These used oils can be recycled into biodiesel if taken to a local drop-off depot in a tightly sealed container.

2

Electronics: While some parts of electronics can’t be recycled, others are valuable resources that can be reused. Examples of accepted electronic items include cellphones, telephones, laptops, modems, keyboards, monitors, printers, TVs, cameras and stereo equipment.

3

Scrap metal and appliances: Metal can be melted down and reused, while parts of appliances can be refurbished for use.

Songs for Recovery concert to support arts programs

Riverwalk Eating Disorders and Wellness Centre offers safe environment for creative expression BY TERESA LATCHFORD

tlatchford@yrmg.com

F

or Michelle Scott, music has been a guiding light in her life. The arts program co-ordinator at Riverwalk Eating Disorders and Wellness Centre struggled with common issues such as identity in her pre-teen years. Coping with the pressure to fit in, wear the right clothing and look a certain way wasn’t easy for Scott and she found herself traveling down a path to negative behaviour. That was until she discovered the power of music. “I listened to raw artists who had a captivating way of connecting with people in a dark emotional level,” she said. “When you talk (about your emotions), people look at you sideways, but music is a socially sanctioned way of expressing a complex self.”

i

For more information about the event, visit edoyr.com

Playing guitar and songwriting gave her a positive outlet in which to explore, examine and voice her emotions. Now she wants to give that same outlet to others by performing in the upcoming Songs for Recovery concert in support of the wellness centre’s arts programs. The programs are free for people to join and are a great way to try something new in a safe environment. It also has a social aspect separate from the focus of an eating disorder, addiction or mental health issue, she added. The concert, at the Aurora Cultural Centre on Sept. 17 at 1 p.m., is open to the public, with suggested ticket prices of $10 and $5 for students and seniors, however, those who can only give what they are able are also welcome. More information about the event, tickets or how to donate can be found at edoyr.com.

Teresa Latchford/Metroland

Michelle Scott, Riverwalk Wellness Centre arts program co-ordinator, will be performing during the concert to help raise funds for the arts programs so others can share the positive experience with music she has had.

New trial in case of undercover York cop who ran over woman BY JEREMY GRIMALDI

A Metroland file photo

Det.-Const. Remo Romano (centre) heads to court with his lawyer, William McKenzie (left), and police union president Todd Sepkowski in May 2016.

jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

new trial is underway for the on-duty York police officer charged with dangerous driving after he hit and killed an 18-yearold woman who was jaywalking across the road. Woodbridge’s Det. Const. Remo Romano was in University Avenue court today as his trial kicked-off after a mistrial was declared in his first trial in May. The 44-year-old had been working as a part of the York Regional Police’s hold-up squad in 2014 when he and his unit were conducting surveillance on a “crew” suspected of commercial break-ins at York Region businesses, including Shoppers Drug Mart. However after getting bogged down during the chase of a suspect vehicle, he sped up, driving at 115

97th Annual Canadian Universities’ Fair Wednesday,September September24, 28,2014 2016 Wednesday, 4:30 - 9:00 p.m.

km/h — almost double the posted 60 km/h speed limit. While speeding down St. Clair Avenue East, his F-150 struck Carla Abogado, a young woman who was listening to music as she crossed the street midintersection. The Crown says Det. Const. Romano was driving dangerously, suggesting this chase was not of specific importance, implying this type of speed should be reserved for incidents where people’s lives are at risk. However the defence argued back that because Det. Const. Romano was acting in the “execution of his duties” enshrined in the Highway Traffic Act, he is not responsible for her death. The trial kicked off on Monday and is expected to last at least a week.

New LSRCA rules came into effect Sept. 1 that require developers to include design elements such as permeable pavement and rock gardens to filter stormwater.4

Mike Barrett/Metroland

LSRCA tightens rules to limit water contaminants BY TERESA LATCHFORD

tlatchford@yrmg.com

Strict rules for developers and municipalities will help control what ends up in the Lake Simcoe watershed. Enabled by the Lake Simcoe Protection Act and prompted by the ongoing impacts of stormwater runoff on local water courses over the years, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority has tightened the rules surrounding the management of stormwater in new developments and redevelopments effective Sept. 1. “When water falls on a newly developed site that has concrete and impermeable surfaces, the runoff picks up gas, oil, sediment and other contaminants which need to be removed before it hits the water course,” LSRCA manager and engineer Tom Hogenbirk said. “These new rules will help treat that water at the source rather than send it down a pipe to be treated.” While low-impact development is becoming more common, the conservation authority still felt the need to beef up the requirements for applications for new or renewed developments are submitted for consideration, he continued. The new requirements include the use of different tools that will help filter stormwater before it hits streams, canals or the lake. These

include permeable pavement that allows rain to seep through into the ground, bioswale filter systems that absorb phosphates and infiltration gardens that are used under downspouts on houses to help rainwater soak into the ground instead of running down the lawn, just to name a few. The idea is to mimic how nature filters water through the ground before it hits the watercourse, Hogenbirk added. “Our partner municipalities will now be leading the way in reducing the environmental impact of development in our communities,” LSRCA chair and Aurora Mayor Geoff Dawe said. “The greatest impact will be on the health of our streams and the lake.” Residents will benefit from a higher degree of safety from flooding, he added. Infrastructure will also be protected from catastrophic damage and the cost to maintain stormwater assets will be significantly reduced. The guidelines were developed with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change requirements and Lake Simcoe Protection Plan in mind. LSRCA researched best-inscience stormwater management practices and convened a working group to develop the new rules including consultation with area municipalities, the Building Industry and Land Development Association, academic experts, engineering consultants, neighbouring conservation authorities and U.S. experts.

The team learned Monday that another rookie, Ryan Littlejohn, made the Flint Firebirds … Newmarket opened the week with 18 players in camp, including 10 forwards and six defencemen … The Hurricanes had not even practised at their home rink at the Ray Twinney Complex as of yesterday (Wednesday). Workouts have been held crosstown at the Magna Centre and the Scotiabank Pond in Toronto, said head coach Tom Longland. In fact, Sunday night was the first time the team had been able to store its gear overnight in the dressing room as the team used the adjoining rink this week for practice. “It’s been a little tough to get comfortable,” the rookie head coach said. “The room hasn’t meshed because we haven’t been in it yet.” Word Play: “Obviously Friday was a good learning experience, especially being young and going into a hostile audience and raising banners before the game,” said head coach Tom Longland. “It was good to see what an established franchise looks like even a year after they won it all.” “I think we’ll be excited to get playing again,” said Longland, looking ahead to tonight’s home opener against the Aurora Tigers. “We probably wished we had a Saturday game.” Record: 0-1-0.

Saffara Whiteley-Hoffelner’s play on the rugby pitch as a member of the McMaster University Marauders women’s team last week did not go unnoticed. The Richmond Hill resident and fourthyear sociology major was named the Ontario University Athletics’ Female Athlete of the Week. The Aurora High School graduate, who toils as a centre, was the Marauders’ leading try scorer in an 81-0 victory over the University of Toronto Varsity Blues, scoring four tries for 20 points.

Last Week: Sunday – Lost 6-1 vs. Wellington Dukes … Friday – Lost 4-3 (OT) at Wellington Dukes. Coming Up: Tonight at Newmarket Hurricanes … Saturday at Stouffville Spirit … Sunday vs. Pickering Panthers, Aurora Community Centre, 7 p.m. Game Notes: Brayden Stortz torched the Tigers for two goals for the second straight game Sunday at Wellington Dukes breezed to a 6-1 victory in Aurora’s home opener. He also scored the game-winner in the third minute of overtime in the season opener for both teams Friday night. In Aurora, Mel Melconian scored his third goal in two games to account for the Tigers offence. At Wellington, the Mississauga Rebels midget graduate scored twice in 17-second span of the third period to give Aurora a short-lived 3-2 lead. The Skinny: Forward Austin Kozluk was named team captain. The former Cobourg Cougar was acquired in the off-season in a trade for last season’s leading scorer, Drake Board. Alternates will be defencemen James Thomson, one of two holdovers from last season, and Robert Orlando and York Simcoe Express graduate Jacob Kostopoulos. Word Play: “The common theme in both games was a lack of backchecking and poor decisions in the defensive zone,” said Tigers rookie head coach Nikita Poliakov. “With not much time to practice

Do you have good hearing but find listening tiring? Research has shown that even people with minimal hearing loss find listening to be tiring. Swiss based hearing aid technology can help by limiting the effort needed by the brain to understand speech. Listening and understanding speech are an important part of everyday communications. However, this can be challenging for people with normal hearing, and even more trying for people with hearing loss. Many of our everyday environments are not ideal. Poor acoustics, lack of visual cues (e.g. on-the phone or talking from another room), muffled speech, and background noise limit our ability to understand speech. This results in asking people to repeat themselves, straining to hear, and possibly avoiding group discussions. A rising field of study by hearing researchers is listening effort. This can be defined as the amount of cognitive resources that are being used to process and understand speech. Research suggests that continued listening effort is linked to C

John Cudmore/Metroland

The narrow fairway at Pheasant Run’s Midlands No. 8 demands an accurate drive for a chanced at par.

Pheasant Run demands thinking way around course Pheasant Run Golf Club Southern Uplands/Midlands

THE PR TOUR

HEAD PROFESSIONAL: Kent Maxwell STATUS: Public SIGNATURE HOLE: Southern Uplands No. 6. Sooner or later, water is coming into play on this par-4, 340-yard test rated toughest on the nine-hole stretch. Overcome the urge to hit big off the tee and leave the driver in the bag. An accurate drive into a generous fairway takes out the left-side pond - once. Ultimate positioning is the 150yard stake for a chance to split the aforementioned pond from another angle and its sibling to the right side. Greenside bunkers hide the landing to a large, flat green. “You can get around one, but not both ponds,” points out Kent Maxwell, now in his fourth year as director of golf. Honourable mention: Midlands, No. 8. On a property oozing with picturesque views, this 346-

’S

yard, par-4 downhill hole ranks among the best. From an elevated tee, cosy up to the 150-yard stake on a sloping fairway for a shot into a bean-shaped green guarded by a false front and two bunkers. TROUBLE AWAITS: Southern Uplands No. 1. Be prepared to be on the straight and narrow on this 350-yard, par-4 greeting hole. Sticking a drive on the turtle-back fairway is a critical factor in chasing par. It’s all about positioning to attack a green that’s protected to the left by a bunker and sees the cart path come into play on the front right side. CURSE OF THE COURSE: Narrow fairways coupled with

uneven lies can make for a long day. A little course knowledge goes a long way in knowing where the bumps and lumps are waiting to disrupt your game. Blind shot spoiler: The pond on the right side of Southern Uplands’ 18th fairway juts out more than you might think. GIMME A LIFE MEMBERSHIP: Three distinctly different nine-hole layouts offer plenty of variety for all levels of players. Additionally, as one of the most scenic and heavily treed courses anywhere, you’d swear fall golf was created for Pheasant Run. “You can never get tired of nature,” Maxwell said. CLUB-TOSSING TIME: Midlands No. 9. Playing for bogey at this par-5 beast is not a bad surrender to preserve your final score. It’s not difficult to turn a good round sour on the 503-yard No. 1 handicap on Midlands. A lengthy pond on the left side accompanies the fairway before it doglegs left toward a 60-foot ascension to an elevated tee overlooking the fairway. Ponder putting the driver aside and approach this as a four-shot hole to the green.

“Many people don’t say what they shot (overall), but relate to what they scored on that hole,” said Maxwell. “Many rounds go from brilliant to disaster in a hurry.” PANEL’S PICK: It’s a left dogleg off the tee at Midlands No. 6. However, the 451-yard par-5 is deceptive. While still marveling over your well-placed tee shot, choose between a short and precise layup to the end of the fairway versus an all-carry shot over a deep ravine. Challenge is sticking a pinpoint long iron or wood on a green surrounded by trouble. THE PRO’S VIEW: “Our starters’ motto is accuracy over distance,” points out Maxwell, cognizant of the narrow layout and rolling terrain that characterizes Pheasant Run. “Don’t be afraid the leave your driver in the bag.” GENERAL INFO: Pheasant Run is in its 36th season since opening its 27 holes for play in 1980 … Southern Uplands-Midlands is the shortest combo at 6,278 yards from the tips … The 2004 comedy movie ‘Welcome To Mooseport’, starring Gene Hackman and Ray Romano, used Midlands No. 8 as a backdrop.

Ice shooting to recover from nightmare season By John Cudmore

jcudmore@yrmg.com

The 2015-16 season was one giant horror show for the Georgina Ice. It follows, then, that there is only one possible direction to follow. Up. It is no easy feat to play an entire junior schedule and not win at least one game. Yet the Central Ontario Junior C Hockey League franchise managed exactly that last season, collecting just two ties from 36 games. There were circumstances that led to the Ice woes. Just one night before the start of the regular season, six players were summoned to play at higher junior levels, leaving the Ice severely handicapped. From any angle, the philosophy that drives junior hockey is to advance players to the next level. Sometimes, however, the timing stinks. “It was the night before we were to open the season in Lakefield and we never recovered,” recalls general manager and head coach Steve Sedore. “We were in a lot of games but just never quite got over the hump.” Nine players who endured the misery are back for another season. Sedore is hoping

the adversity from a year ago is a building block this season. “The only positive thing about last year is that the kids never quit,” said Sedore, a veteran of coaching at the Junior A and C levels. “They just said, ‘We’re going to stick this out,’ and they did. That season was a first for me. “Six kids knew they were playing first-line minutes because other guys weren’t there and six guys knew they were playing junior because of the situation. But it was never an issue that they would show up every night.” Sedore is anchoring his hopes to the returning players and the return of freshly minted captain Justin Wain, one of the lastminute losses who played Junior B last season. He led the Ice in scoring two seasons ago. It is at least hope for a brighter future. “We’ll be young,” said Sedore, whose team skated to two ties and a loss at the Alliston Hornets’ pre-season tournament last weekend. “But having nine guys who went through last year and stuck it out and are now a year old and having Justin back should make a difference and help us.” The Ice opens its season Friday night when the Uxbridge Bruins visit the Georgina Ice Palace. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Coaching shortage sends Raiders football to sidelines By John Cudmore

jcudmore@yrmg.com

SPECIAL RETIREES' HEARING AID! A new hearing aid offer has been introduced for retirees. The hearing aid is a great value, simple to operate and brings IMPROVED hearing to thousands!

At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available. The latest digital hearing aid technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers–hearing well in noisy environments. Nobody will notice it because of its minute size, fitting snugly and comfortably just behind your ear. Everything works automatically. There are no controls to worry about and adjustments are easy to make–even from your smart phone. So you can get back to enjoying your relationships, rather than thinking about your hearing. Because these new hearing aids collect and digitally processes natural, 360 degree sound thousands of times per second, they have been shown to reduce the strain that effortful-listening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact, these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-the-line hearing aids. Hearing professionals are celebrating the biggest advancement in 30 years of fitting hearing aids and patients credit it with providing a substantial improvement in their ability to communicate in large groups and noisy social settings. A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

The football program at Newmarket High School has been sacked. A last-ditch plea over the weekend failed to attract qualified coaches in a bid to salvage the program, Raiders head coach Andrew Edge confirmed Monday afternoon. Edge attended Friday’s YRAA fall sports declaration meeting, but was unable to commit to fielding a team, citing a shortage of coaches, including an offensive co-ordinator. “It’s a sad day for football at Newmarket High School that we weren’t able to pull something together. We’re down,” Edge said after addressing his players Monday afternoon to confirm the inevitable. “I just wanted to make a final statement and let them know we did what we could with the coaching situation.” The loss of the football program at Newmarket, where the sport has a history stretching to nearly seven decades, is the latest in a string of high school programs folding in York Region high schools. Since last season, when nine teams participated at the senior/varsity level, struggling programs at Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School in Aurora and St. Joan of Arc Catholic High School in Maple also ceased football operations.

Although private school St. Thomas of Villanova College in King City has joined the league for the 2016 season, the overall reduction of teams from nine in 2015 to seven for the upcoming season is troubling. Only a few years ago, the league operated with 11 schools at the senior and varsity level. Since then, Richmond Hill High School and Woodbridge College folded their programs. The situation at the junior level is even bleaker as just two schools – Huron Heights and Bill Crothers have declared intentions to field teams. King City’s Jeff Masterson confirmed Tuesday his school will operate only a varsity team due to a coaching shortage. “The writing is on the wall that we’re going toward a varsity setup,” said Masterson, also the league convenor. “You can do it by YRAA rules, but how do you justify a three-team league?” Edge sought coaching help for months with no takers. He plans to continue the scouting mission with hopes to reviving the program in 2017. “We will re-evaluate our situation in the spring,” he said. “Hopefully, by then, we’ll find an offensive co-ordinator and others willing to get trained and see what we can do.” The 2016 season is slated to kick off the week of Sept. 19.

MONTHLY FEATURE DEDICATED TO SENIORS

3 ways to protect your retirement nest egg You’ve planned well for your retirement, saving your money and investing it wisely. Now, your next challenge is to protect your savings by making sure your finances are handled wisely as you grow older. Research tells us that financial decision-making can be one of the first activities that people may have trouble with as they age. It’s also true that seniors are frequently targeted for financial scams, exploitation, and abuse, sometimes by strangers but too often by caregivers and family members. Protect your retirement nest egg with these expert tips. 1. While you’re still fully able to handle your own affairs, assign a financial power of attorney to someone you trust so that

there can be no question as to who you want making decisions for you in the event that your abilities start to falter; your lawyer can help with this. 2. Once you decide who you would trust with these decisions, talk to them about your wishes. Having frank and regular discussions about your finances will ensure you’re on the same page. 3. Be aware that your financial advisors might raise these issues with you, so that they know how you would want them to proceed in the event that they notice changes in your abili-

ties. Let your financial advisor know who your other professional advisors are, such as your lawyer or accountant. Introduce your financial advisor to your power of attorney and any other trusted family members or friends so that they can connect if it becomes necessary to protect you. If you think your loved one might be losing their ability to make sound financial decisions, speak to them about involving their power of attorney or other trusted contact in their financial discussions. Watch for memory loss; chang-

es in ability to do everyday math; confusion about time and place; missed appointments; changes in personal appearance; mood or behavioural swings, such as increased passivity, anxiety, or aggression; and taking longer to complete financial tasks, like writing a cheque or handling online banking. Not everyone will experience these challenges, but they’re common enough as we age that we should take steps to protect ourselves and to do what we can to protect friends and family members.

Hot minor hockey rivalry misses out on Rogers telecast Annual home-and-home challenge between Newmarket and Aurora scheduled for week following Hometown Hockey event

I

t’s a wonderful thing that Rogers Hometown Hockey will show up and spend the weekend for its two-day festival and celebration of hockey in Newmarket leading into its Sunday night broadcast on Oct. 16. The Sportsnet folks will poke around and tell tales of hockey in Newmarket, including presumably the 60th anniversary celebrations of the Newmarket Minor Hockey Association, with native son Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers playing the Buffalo Sabres as the backdrop in Sunday’s telecast. It’s a shame the timing is one week off for the 11th instalment of the Yonge Street weekend showdown between the minor hockey organizations in Newmarket and next-door neighbour Aurora. The Yonge Street rivalry has for a decade been a very cool and unique home-and-home weekend challenge between minor hockey rep teams — the Newmarket Redmen and Aurora Tigers — that, surprisingly, is not duplicated in minor hockey circles. It helps that the next-door neighbours have corresponding teams in most age groups and equivalent classifications. Sadly, the neighbourly challenge is slated for Oct. 21 to 23. Hometown Hockey made its Newmarket announcement long after season schedules had been determined.

On the plus side, perhaps the series will get a promotional plug a week ahead of puck drop. The series is currently tied at five wins apiece.

‘It’s a shame the timing is one week off for the 11th instalment of the Yonge Street weekend showdown between the minor hockey organizations in Newmarket and next-door neighbour Aurora.’ Speaking of the Yonge Street showdown, to which house league teams are to be added into the mix, it is rather unfortunate the Junior A Tigers and Hurricanes did not follow through on their debut to the format last season and make it part of their Ontario Junior Hockey League schedules this season. It took a decade for the juniors to recognize the significance of linking with their respective minor hockey programs, then they disappear? Sigh.

Swing and miss One might think the York Simcoe Baseball Association peewee all-star tournament a terrific opportunity

John Cudmore Cuddy Shark for Baseball Ontario’s 18 affiliates to show a little love toward their best 12-year-old players and expose them to similar competition from around the province. You might. Apparently, Baseball Ontario thinks not since it has no role in the tournament. Shockingly, just five – five!!! – affiliates, including host YSBA, are sending teams to the event to be held Saturday and Sunday at Armstrong Park. Even one of those did not confirm its presence until just a few days ago. This should be a marquee event occasion for the young all stars deemed tops in their affiliate organizations. It should be wellpromoted and branded as a mark of excellence. Instead, and surprisingly, the

long-running tournament and its siblings for other age groups, operates in anonymity, not even sanctioned by Baseball Ontario. Which begs the question: why wouldn’t the governing body of baseball, which can always use positive situations to strengthen its program, jump in and be part of the project? It’s a great showcase opportunity that could add sparkle to its game.

It remains to be seen how the season unfolds, of course, but followers of the Stouffville Spirit will tell you how much a slow start in September can hurt your playoff chances in February. For more on the Tigers and Hurricanes, see Jr. A Notebook.

Last down and long How many times has the demise of high school football in York Region been forecast over the years? The sacking of football at Newmarket High School this week and the loss of programs at Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School in Aurora and Maple’s St. Joan of Arc Thunder since last season is terrible news. More alarming news comes from the junior ranks where only Huron Heights Secondary School and Bill Crothers Secondary School remain standing. Clearly, a league cannot operate with two members beating on one another week-in and week-out, so those schools will need to figure out an alternative schedule. The junior level for football, more than any other sport, is viewed as the crucial element to high school programs because it permits ninth and 10th graders an opportunity to play and learn. That opportunity it is fading fast.

Tigers, Hurricanes clash Chances are followers of either the Aurora Tigers or Newmarket Hurricanes will be celebrating two points by late tonight. There is a possibility of a tie, mind you. Both Ontario Junior Hockey League teams are coming off forgettable performance — the Hurricanes an 11-2 drubbing at the hands of the defending champion Trenton Golden Hawks in their season opener; the Tigers left red-faced in a 6-1 loss to the Wellington Dukes in their home opener Sunday. There are some observers who consider the rivals to be train wrecks waiting to happen this season. Those dire predictions may be entirely accurate six months down the road. Or not. One thing is for certain even in the pay-toplay world in which Junior A hockey now exists, that patience is no friend when playoff berths must be earned.

Pathfinder

First Drive

Jim Robinson

CARMEL, CA: Nissan’s Pathfinder is getting a number of changes for the 2017 model year. Now in its fourth generation, Pathfinder falls somewhere between the mid-size Murano and the fullsize Armada. With an EPA interior volume listed as 4,468 litres it’s full-size to me, but Nissan prefers to call it a “large” CUV. Either way, the Pathfinder offers its EX Flex Seating system for seven with a three-seat second row 60/40 split/fold bench and a two/seat 50/50 split/fold bench third row. Lift a handle on the second row seat and the seat back tilts forward and the cushion tilts up so it can slide forward for a claimed best-inclass access to the third row. Also available is a power liftgate, which opens when a kicking motion is made under the rear bumper. Introduced as a 2013 model, Nissan thought it was time to harden up the exterior styling with an entirely new front end incorporating the “V Motion” grille design and a reshaping of the rear with a new bumper/rear panels and new taillights to make it more rugged looking. In the process, Nissan lowered

The Nissan Pathfinder (Platinum model shown) gets major upgrades for 2017, including new front and rear styling and a more powerful V6 engine.

the Cd to 0.326 from 0.34 on the outgoing model. The 3.5-litre DOHC V6 now has direct injection, raising the power to 284 hp and 259 lb/ft of torque up from 260 hp and 240 ft/lb on the 2016 version.

Fuel economy is also improved at 11.6/8.5/10.2L/100 km city/highway/combined for the front-wheeldrive version and 12.1/8.9/10.7L/100 km for the all-wheel-drive model. The new engine with its CVT transmission results in a claimed

LEFT: The 3.5-litre DOHC V6 engine now has direct fuel injection for 284 hp and 259 lb/ft of torque. RIGHT: The second-row 60/40 bench seat EX Flex System lets the seatback tilt forward and the cushion tilt up and then slides forward for easier access to third row seats.

best-in-class towing capability of up to 6,000 lb. Suspension remains the same with McPherson struts with 26 mm solid stabilizer bar at front and a multi-link system at the rear with 26.5 mm hollow tube stabilizer bar. What is changed is the springs being 11 per cent stiffer at the front and seven per cent stiffer at the rear, which results in reduced body pitch over rough roads or potholes or when entering corners. Steering response was improved with a quicker ratio, which helps during turn-in and changing lanes. The three-mode AWD offers 2WD for best fuel economy; Auto which is on-demand 4WD that sends torque to wheels as needed and Lock for situations such as snow, boat launching or on a slippery surface. The interior is basically unchanged, but there have been some enhancements with a rearview camera with eight-inch colour touchscreen now standard on the base S model and it includes voice recognition.

This is not your grandad’s Buick. This is the 2016 Buick Encore and, when it debuted almost five years ago, it was cited as the first luxury crossover of its kind. The Encore filled a new slot in the Buick lineup with its versatile and very compact design. It was outfitted as sort of a little luxury runabout, blending the relative roominess of a small but tall fivepassenger cabin with a tight turning circle and nimble, easy-to-park maneuverability. “But it’s a Buick through and through,” Ed Welburn, GM’s Vice President of Design, said at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show reveal, pointing out the emphasis on quiet luxury, upgraded interior features, and even a few traditional Buick styling cues - the waterfall grille and, yes, portholes. The Buick Encore has done well since that introduction and when you combine the sale’s numbers of the Encore with those of its more econo-oriented Chevy Trax sibling, GM seems to have a solid hold on the number one sales position in the subcompact CUV category. For 2016, the Encore’s encore (sorry, I couldn’t resist) carries on relatively unchanged with just the usual annual adjustment of new colours and revised wheels. The Encore comes in base ($28,505), Convenience ($30,120), Sport Touring ($31,415), Leather ($32,150) and Premium ($33,575) trim levels.

R U O Y T E DON’ T L E S A E L E VEHICL . N W O D U O Y N I A CH This is the interior of the toptrim Platinum model with handsome wood and metal accents.

. T U O T BUS

Pathfinder is a powerful but frugal drivetrain Continued from W1 The S also gets a Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System and streaming audio and outside mirrors with side turn indicators. New for 2017 is available Forward Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning that augments the available Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Convenience features for 2017 include Moving Object Detection, Intelligent Cruise Control and a class-exclusive 360-degree view camera system. We were test-driving the Pathfinder in and around Carmel, CA, at the same time forest fires were raging to the east and south of the hotel where we were staying. It was heartening the see hundreds of hand-made signs on cardboard, bed sheets or whatever to hand with words like “God bless our firefighters” and “Thank you heroes.”

SPECS AT A GLANCE BODY STYLE: Full-size, seven-seat crossover DRIVE METHOD: Front-drive with eightspeed automatic traFront-engine, front-/allwheel-drive with CVT transmission ENGINE: 3.5-litre, direct injection DOHC V6 (284 hp, 259 lb/ft) FUEL ECONOMY: (Regular) FWD, 11.6/8.5/10.2/100 km city/highway/combined; AWD, 12.1/8.9/10.7L/100 km CARGO: 453 litres behind third row seat, 2,260 litres second and third row folded TOW RATING: Up to 6,000 lb PRICE: S FWD, $32,498; S 4WD, $35,398; SV 4WD, $38,098; SL 4WSD, $41,098; SL Premium Tech 4WD, $44,598; Platinum 4WE, $48,398; shipping fee, $1,795 WEBSITE: www.nissan.ca

Cargo volume behind the third row seats is 453 litres

Back and forth between Carmel and the Laguna Seca racetrack, the Pathfinder felt much more agile than the 2017 Nissan Armada we were testing at the same time. Nissan has got CVTs down to a science to the point it responds like a “normal” automatic and thus can be driven with verve, which the co-driver definitely did on the very twisty mountain highway to Salinas. The toptrim Platinum model we were driving was nicely appointed on the inside with tasteful wood trim and a centre stack with nice, big rotary knobs for the HVAC and audio. The EZ Flex Seating system is pretty slick. Even with a child seat fitted on the second row, the seat will slide forward enough to allow easy ingress to the rear. There are five trim models with starting prices: S FWD, $32,498; S 4WD, $35,398; SV 4WD, $38,098; SL 4WSD, $41,098; SL Premium Tech 4WD, $44,598; Platinum 4WE, $48,398; shipping fee, $1,795. Pathfinder has been a very successful model for Nissan, with more than 155,500 sold to date in Canada. With the upgrades for 2017, the success story is bound to continue.

Ample choice and luxury in a subcompact premium Ute Continued from W1 while offering a thrifty fuel economy rating of 9.5/7.2L/100km (city/hwy). This mill pulls well enough for daily driving chores and my real world fuel economy results worked out to 9L/100km (comb). Buick added an optional engine choice for the Sport Touring model late in the 2016 model year - a same-size but slightly tweaked direct-injection 1.4-litre turbo four-cylinder that bumps up the power level to 153 hp and 177 lb/ft of grunt while offering even better fuel economy with an assist from an electronic stop/start anti-idling system. Both engines are mated to a Hydra-Matic 6T40 six-speed automatic transmission featuring a steep first gear and a tall overdrive, factors that combine for brisk acceleration and lowered rpm cruising at highway speeds. Front-wheel-drive is standard but allwheel-drive systems ($2,000) can be opted for in all models. Because of its premium positioning, the Encore lineup starts with a very inclusive base model offering standard equipment that features four-wheel ABS disc brakes, StabiliTrak electronic stability control, 18-inch aluminum wheels, variable-effort electric power steering, ten air bags, roof rails and heated mirrors with signal repeaters. The air-conditioned cabin strikes a refined note starting with QuietTuning insulation and Buick’s first use of Bose Active Noise Cancellation technology. The leather-wrapped steering wheel offers a full suite of infotainment and cruise controls. And even the base model tops the content up with dual glove boxes, a rear cargo cover, a rearview camera system, ice-blue ambient illumination and a six-speaker AM/FM/CD/ Sirius XM (3 month trial) audio system with IntelliLink seven-inch HD display.

Left: The 2016 Buick Encore, pictured here in Winterberry Red Metallic and outfitted in top-of-the-line Premium trim. Top Right: The Encore harnesses a 138 hp 1.4-litre DOHC turbocharged four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and a choice of front-wheel-drive (as tested) or optional all-wheel-drive ($2,000).

As you can imagine, that content list increases steadily as you climb the rungs of the trim level ladder, maxing out in our top-of-the-line Premium tester with extras that include leather appointments, fog lamps, heated seats and a heated steering wheel along with driver assist technologies like Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning
