DIRECTOR OF GOLF: Corey Helm STATUS: Public SIGNATURE HOLE: No. 9.

Don’t allow the view of Cook’s Bay from the ninth tee distract from the task of completing your nine-hole round on a high note.

The finishing hole is a downhill par-4 at 305 yards from the tips, inviting big hitters to take on the green. With bunkers protecting the left approach, the smart play is a well-placed shot to the right side of the fairway.

Head golf professional Corey Helm suggests a wedge or short iron for a second shot into the green.

TROUBLE AWAITS: The first three holes on this traditional Stanley Thompson designed parklands style course feature heavy tree lines on the right side.

CURSE OF THE COURSE: The greens are largely unchanged from their original design. Subtle rolls and undulations play equalizer.

“It’s only 6,100 yards from the tips so people think the course is a pushover,” said Helm. “They find the course is a lot tougher.”

GIMME A LIFE MEMBERSHIP: Periscopes located on Nos. 3 and 6 tee boxes provide a quaint and unique touch to a facility brimming with history. They are handy as shot guides and allow players to determine the location of the preceding group.

Honourable mention: No. 5.

How can you not like a green built using horse and plow?

The raised and sloping green offers a glimpse of the bay at the end of this 360-yard, par-4 challenge.

CLUB-TOSSING TIME: No. 8.

It’s an uphill par-3 to a tricky green sliding left to right and front to back.

Leftside green is a difficult up-and-down.

PANEL’S PICK: The good news on No. 6 is that it is the lone hole on the course without a bunker.

Otherwise, it’s a tough test starting with a blind uphill tee shot to this 435-yard, par-4 left dogleg. Beware the pond on the left side waiting to gobble up stray tee shots.

THE PRO’S VIEW: “I think this is one of the most beautiful pieces of property no one knows about,” said Helm.

“It truly adheres to the Stanley Thompson philosophy to make a golf course challenging for every level of player.”

fter watching their parents cling to the houses they owned for decades, Stouffville husband and wife Graham Sparrow and Jan Douglas are determined not to make the same mistake.

For their parents, who had grown up in England during the Depression and the Second World War, their homes were their security.

Even as they became older and more frail, they refused to sell the only houses they had owned as married couples, meaning they also didn’t free up equity to spend money on the things they’d always dreamed of.

“In both of our parents’ case, it was only when they got really to an extreme physical state, did they acknowledge that the house they had lived in for 50 years was no longer suitable,” said Sparrow, whose parents were finally forced to go into a long-term care facility.

Douglas agreed.

“Each of them only ever bought one house, each set of parents, and they just couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. And what we learned from that is that you have to have a plan, you have to think about options,” she said.

“We realize it’s just a house.”

This is a second marriage for both Sparrow and Douglas, who wed 20 years ago.

They have five children between them, whom they raised in a five-bedroom home in Scarborough, although they point out both started out with modest homes when they entered the housing market.

When the kids left home, they sold the house seven years ago for $345,000 and bought a semi-detached home in Stouffville for $290,000.

Flexibility about home ownership and communication about their goals have given Sparrow and Douglas the freedom to live the life they want, including booking three trips over the next year and owning a vacation home trailer in Florida.

The couple is already thinking about their next move, about a decade in the future, this time to Stouffville’s Parkview Village for seniors.

“When you are at our age, which is the late 60s, you have to start looking at people who are 10 years, 15 years older than you are and what is our most likely physical reality going to be?” Sparrow said.

“With a wait list of 10 years for some of

Parkview will provide them with a home with no stairs, an environment in which they can comfortably manage their finances and a close-knit community of seniors.

“All of this I have to attribute to our parents and our watching them and being, not frustrated with them so much as wishing they would look at their lives and think about what they want from life rather than feeling stuck,” Douglas said.

specialist who sits on the executive of the Aurora/Newmarket chapter of the Canadian Association of Retired People.

Varcoe, who gives seminars on housing issues such as mortgage and title fraud, gave a presentation to Aurora council in July about the lack of housing options for young seniors not yet ready for supportive housing.

Seniors are often a forgotten demographic in today’s housing market, Varcoe said.

“The current housing market is affecting seniors for several reasons. The prices have been going up so fast, homeowners are reluctant to sell their investment. The next issue is the lack of somewhere to move to because of the limited supply of affordable condominiums and accessible bungalows,” she said.

“Seniors are staying in their homes longer and looking for ways to make them accessible and safe.”

Seniors selling their long-term homes, who don’t need to buy something new — if they are moving in with family, for example — stand to make hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But those wanting to buy are finding few options for the types of housing for which

Be prepared Real estate broker Beverley Varcoe offered a number of tips: • Keep important papers, such as surveys, permits and home improvement receipts, filed together.

• While reverse or home equity mortgages are often pitched at seniors to free up equity from their homes, it may be best to only use this option in an emergency or for a short period of time.

• Start decluttering months before you decide to sell.

• Do all the needed repairs and maintenance beforehand.

• Consider hiring a home stager for ideas on how to update décor.

• Consult a financial adviser about what to do with your equity after you sell your home.

they are looking, Varcoe said.

“The limited supply of housing suitable for seniors means that you could be looking for months with nowhere to live,” she said.

“Or you could end up in multiple offers on a property, bidding higher than the retirement budget you planned with the sale of your home.”

Sutton project approved but fund running low

By Heidi Riedner

hriedner@yrmg.com

While town council supported a $10,000 grant that will help revitalize one of Georgina’s three recognized downtown cores, the fact that it represents half of the economic development division’s total annual $20,000 grant kitty put increasing the fund back on the radar for upcoming budget talks.

Council supported the grant awarded to Sutton West Dental last week for upgrades to the façade of the heritage building and former home of the food pantry on High Street in Sutton.

The only problem for Ward 3 Councillor Dave Neeson was the fact the grant represents 50 per cent of the division’s total grant budget for the year.

“The money is pretty close to drying up, so I think looking at bumping the overall budget is a good discussion to have at budget time.”

Allocating more funds to economic development aligns with a key tenant in the town’s recently completed economic strategy update.

In 2014, council also approved a Community Improvement Plan supporting revitalization efforts in Georgina’s three historic downtown communities that set aside funds to allow incentives to businesses within those three areas.

“It is important that we continue with this initiative,” Karyn Stone of economic development said, adding the overall investment

being undertaken by Sutton West Dental of its new location totals $100,000, including new lighting, windows and signage, as well as major structural upgrades to the historic High Street building.

While the town’s heritage advisory committee has no legal authority to approve or deny grant applications, as Ward 4 Councillor Frank Sebo suggested should be a part of the process, its input will be sought on future applications, Stone said.

Council supported the grant awarded to Sutton West Dental last week for upgrades to the façade of the heritage building and former home of the food pantry on High Street in Sutton.

The current grant application process, however, afforded the town an opportunity for input regarding the plans for renovation, which, in this case, helped to facilitate renovations that were in keeping with the character of historic High Street, Mayor Margaret Quirk added.

“We had an opportunity to meet with and discuss with owners what they were planning,” Quirk said, adding, subsequent to that, changes were made that were more “aesthetically pleasing”.

COLUMN

Could Canada elect a Trump-like leader?

ere in Canada, the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency is a terrifying one.

The real-estate mogul and reality television star has been building support on a campaign of bigotry, misogyny and violence. While his campaign is still trailing that of former secretary of state, senator and first lady Hillary Clinton, the gap in polls is narrow and it is entirely conceivable that Donald Trump might prevail in November.

To put it another way: The leader of our closest neighbour, biggest trading partner and longtime ally might be a white-supremacist-approved, lying, narcissistic tyrant.

The only comfort we might take in this distressing scenario: at least something like that could never happen here.

Or could it?

Our parliamentary system of government treats executive power very differently than the American bicameral system. Indeed, in some ways a prime minister with a firm majority can exercise far more power than a president whose party doesn’t also control both the House of Representatives and the Senate. A Trump-like prime minister could make profound and potentially damaging changes to our country, with few to none of the checks on the power of a likeminded president.

But could such a prime minister be elected here?

Our nomination process means it’s less likely that any party would choose such a polarizing figure as its leader, and in a federal election, voters aren’t faced with a simple choice between two candidates as happens in the U.S. It would be naive to think that

ADVOCATE G EORG I NA

Canadians are immune to the kind of xenophobic bigotry and nativism that has fuelled Trump’s rise.

At its core, Trump’s success depends on two things — people who are profoundly worried about their future and a society where systemic racism makes it easy to blame “the other” for its problems.

We have both here.

In 2015, when Stephen Harper’s Conservatives banned women from wearing niqabs when taking citizenship oaths, vowed to revoke citizenship to dual citizens convicted of terrorism and floated the idea of a snitch line for “barbaric cultural practices,” the party had strong support, as evidenced by numerous polls.

We can reassure ourselves with the Conservative loss in the election.

Yet today, as Trump doubles down on his plan to deport illegal immigrants and bar Muslims from entering the U.S., Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch (who fronted the unappealing snitch line in 2015) is promoting a similarly themed plan to screen out immigrants who hold “anti-Canadian values.” A Forum Research poll conducted after she floated the idea shows that 67 per cent of Canadians and 87 per cent of Conservative supporters like the idea.

Does that mean that Canadians are ready to consider handing a Donald Trump the key to 24 Sussex Dr.? We like to think not. But we’d like to think the same of our friends south of the border.

And we’d like to know what you think. Share your opinion at newsroom@yrmg.com and we’ll run as many of your responses as space allows in the coming weeks.

This is my last column.

Thanks to my followers

I

t’s funny how much newspapers have been a part of my life.

When I was a kid, before I could really read that well, there was an ad in the paper from the local hockey league. It featured a stick drawing of a boy on skates, hockey stick in hand. I can still see it.

I took it over to my parents and pointed to the picture. “That! I want to do that!

Mom! Dad! Pllleeeaaase!!!”

My dad thought hockey was for barbarians (I would later learn he’d been knocked out in a game when he was a teenager and never played again).

Nevertheless, at 4, I was playing “organized hockey” (which never seemed that organized) and though I gave it up for a while, I still play hockey today.

As a kid, I got my name in the paper, a couple of times, both for hockey and the Kiwanis Music Festival.

Seeing your name in print, well, it was a big deal. Burned into the memory banks as one of those “life moments”.

My family kept the clippings.

Delivering the free weekly newspaper was my first job. The paper had lots of ads. And then it started to carry flyers. (I can remember thinking something like: “Flyers? Inserted in the paper? What a dumb idea. I’m sure this will be a passing fad.”)

As a teen, I took on a route for a daily newspaper. I had to go around and collect the subscription money. It was odd in that, this was the paper for the business and professional crowd, yet some of them (just some, mind you) would always claim they didn’t have the money and tell me they’d “get me next time”.

I didn’t last too long in that job. I’m sure some of them still owe me, since I sort of bought the papers, and then the subscribers would pay me. Or “get me”, as they put it. Next time. Shades of attitudes toward paying for daily news websites today.

When I was at university, I met two guys who were editors at the school paper. They needed reporters. They paid.

I was back for my second degree and essentially broke. So I did some writing for them and liked it and soon switched to a journalism/writing program.

I later got a job at a community newspaper and have been with community newspapers ever since, as a reporter and then editor.

I never planned on being a colum-

Bernie O’Neill nist as well. I always thought that was for the brave and the brash, who “tell it like it is”, despite the complexities of real life. Although I may as well tell you that, in the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Awards, I have been nominated for my column six times, either as opinion columnist of the year, or humour columnist of the year. And placed second two times and third four times. With one honourable mention.

Meaning?

I guess they thought my writing was pretty humourous, just not that humourous, or opinionated, but maybe not opinionated enough. Which is fine with me. As Frank Sinatra said, I did it my way.

I wasn’t writing for the accolades anyway. I was trying to make you laugh and maybe think. Or failing that, at least smile and read to the end.

(One year I placed first in the Suburban Newspapers of America awards for all of North America as the best community newspaper columnist, so obviously those judges knew what they were doing and knew what I was doing! Even if I didn’t always feel like I knew what I was doing. At least someone knew what I was doing.)

This will be my last week as editor — I’m taking a voluntary buyout package the company is offering — and I want to say thank you to all of you who have read the paper, the website and my column over the years. I am not sure what my next job will be, but I hope it will be something where I get to inform and entertain people, and contribute to something that is important to our lives, like the community news.

Until then, it has been my privilege.

Road work good news for The Link’s coffers

We Want your pet stories!

While the construction contract runs from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2017, excavation work isn’t scheduled to begin until after the Parade of Lights in December.

Under the terms of the lease, Memme will replace the sod and topsoil from the exterior leased space and replace it with gravel for the duration of the lease, as well as complete additional site improvements such as widening of the east landing surface of the skateboard park.

Aside from the obvious minor service interruptions, town staff don’t anticipate any parking problems associated with town events during the term of the contract or potential conflicts if the town is awarded the Trillium capital grant it applied for seeking parking improvements to the site that would double parking space at The Link.

While most of The Link’s core tenants haven’t moved in yet, a temporary one will bring about $30,000 in revenue to the town.

Memme Excavation will already take over a portion of Sutton between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2017 while it completes the Dalton Road watermain from Lake Drive to Baseline Road under its contract with the Region of York.

Under a 15-month lease agreement with the town, Memme Excavation will pay $30,000 to use 1,300 sq ft of The Link, as well as good portion of the property, as a construction office/storage yard while it completes the Dalton Road watermain project, according to a report tabled at council last week.

Most of the north section of the property, including the baseball diamonds, will be fenced off at Memme’s expense for the storage of equipment and materials.

1 year later, impaired driving charges on rise

By Jeremy Grimaldi

jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

For as long as (Marco) Muzzo has been alive, courts have warned about the consequences of impaired driving,” Justice Michelle Fuerst began, as she concluded her sentencing in front of a packed, tearful Newmarket courtroom.

“Yet the message escaped him. It is important that it does not escape others.”

This was one of the judge’s most powerful lines, which acted as partial justification for sending Marco Muzzo to prison for 10 years. He was made an example of, considering the “enormous harm caused,” and handed the harshest sentence ever doled out in Canada for a firstoffence impaired driving charge, with the aim of deterring others from following in his footsteps.

Given the tragedy and outrage that followed his behaviour, some applauded the action.

Others found the sentence too light.

Looking back, one year on from the tragedy that claimed four people’s lives — Daniel, 9, Harrison, 5, and Milly, 2, Neville-Lake, and Gary Neville, 65 — it seems unclear if this decision has served as a deterrent.

After all, the “message” Justice Fuerst speaks of continues to escape York Region residents on a weekly basis. As a result, 2016 might just see the most impaired charges laid in the past five years.

“To be honest, I can’t stop anyone from driving impaired,” Jennifer Neville-Lake said. “Our story is one fading afternoon and is darkening with time. I can share with you how hollow and desolate my life is because someone chose to

drink and drive on a Sunday afternoon. I can probably make you cry imagining what it is like to be me existing in an empty and dead house. But I can’t stop you from drinking and driving. My shattered heart can’t. My dead dad can’t. My dead children can’t. Only you can. I hope you choose life.”

family tragedy York Regional Police statistics show there was a 43-per-cent increase in charges between 2012, when there were 877, and 2015, when there were 1,255. So far in 2016, there have been 1,188.

“Despite all of our efforts, sadly we continue to deal with people who are making the choice to drink alcohol or use drugs and drive and let me be clear, it is a choice,” Chief Eric Jolliffe. “The consequences of making these bad decisions have

never been more apparent. The grief and sorrow that continues to be felt extends far beyond the immediate family, first responders and our investigators. It has touched our entire community.

“Yet people are still being allowed to have a drink or use drugs and get behind the wheel of a vehicle while impaired. I am once again asking that those who decide to have any alcohol or drugs to not get behind the wheel of a vehicle. I am also calling upon friends or family members who watch their loved ones have a drink or use drugs to be that person and stand up to prevent them from driving. Impaired driving is completely preventable and we must all do our part to prevent another tragedy on our roads.”

The message isn’t getting across to everyone.

On Jan. 17, just months after

Marco Muzzo crashed into the Neville-Lake vehicle, the vehicle of Newmarket’s Tara Gawlik collided with that of Michael Holden, 26, who was going to see his mother in Newmarket.

Holden, 26, died. Gawlik, 36, who driving a Kia Rondo with three children in the car, 13-yearold twins and a 12-year-old, was charged with impaired driving causing death. The case is still before the courts.

Tragedies that results from impaired driving can take many forms.

This summer, Ryan Lefler, 24, was killed when his motorcycle left the roadway in Keswick and Lauren Mueller, 25, died when her pickup truck crashed into a tree in East Gwillimbury. Both were impaired.

Teenager badly burned during Holland Landing bush party York Regional Police are searching for a suspect after a 16-year-old was badly burned during a bush party behind the Holland Landing Community Centre earlier this month.

The victim, who attends Sacred Heart Catholic High School, sustained second-degree burns to his face.

On Sept. 5 at around 1 a.m., officers attended the area behind the community centre, located at 19513 Yonge St. They were directed to the teenager who had sustained significant burns. He was transported to hospital for treatment.

An investigation revealed about 150 teenagers from several area high schools attended the party. Four men also attended and instigated a number of altercations with partygoers. During one altercation, a suspect allegedly threw the 16-year-old into a bonfire.

Witnesses are asked to help identify the suspect. Specifically, police would like to speak to anyone who took pictures with a smartphone during the party.

The suspect is described as a 17- to 19-year-old black male. He is between fivefeet, 11-inches and six-feet, one-inch tall. He has a thin but muscular build, short black hair and a thick Jamaican accent.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the YRP No. 1 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7141, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, by leaving an anonymous tip online at 1800222tips.com, or by texting the tip to CRIMES (274637), starting with the word YORK. – Chris Simon

Woman stabbed in head in Aurora The seemingly idyllic setting of Aurora’s Hutt Crescent – a street that has only existed for three years in a community still under development – is far from synonymous with bloody violence.

However, that is just what one set of neighbours experienced Wednesday morning after police said a domestic incident turned gruesome on the u-shaped street, located in the new Aurora housing development east of Bayview Avenue and just north of St. John’s Sideroad.

Two neighbours, who did not want to disclose their names, said they saw two ambulances outside the home at about 11 p.m, but it was only after they turned in for the night that commotion began. The couple was awoken just before 2 a.m. with a bang, proceeded by a female’s screams.

A woman ran to their home, bleeding profusely from a stab wound to her head.

“She was covered in blood and very worried about her children,” a neighbour, who ran outside in her underwear to help, said. “She was screaming and yelling for help.”

“We saw the little boy looking out the window…. This is so sad…. I hope she’s alright,” the stunned witness added, noting she and her husband have been renting the home since Christmas.

When police arrived, both the wounded woman, now in life-threatening condition, and the man involved in the dispute, in serious condition, were taken to hospital. The man was in custody and the woman, at Sunnybrook hospital, was being guarded by officers, according to police.

Pefferlaw Lions celebrate 60 years of backing community

By Cheryl Bahen

On Feb. 29, 1956 the Pefferlaw and District Lions Club received their charter from Lions Club International and the club was born…

They were sponsored by the Cannington Lions Club. Unfortunately, all of our charter members have passed but they have given us a wonderful legacy to continue.

The Pefferlaw Lions club was created by a group of local businessmen who came together to give their time and vision for the community. Elmer Strongman was the first president of the club.

Their first order of business was to give Pefferlaw its own fire station. In 1956 a 1932 Bickles fire truck was purchased from the City of Toronto. The fire department was operated by volunteers and the Pefferlaw Lions members were all volunteer firemen. The first fire chief was Lion President Elmer Strongman.

On Sept. 17, the Pefferlaw Lions Club celebrated 60 years of service to their community.

(See photograph on facing page.)

Attending this special event was the Mayor of Georgina, Margaret Quirk, Julia Munro, MPP-York Simcoe, Peter Van Loan MP-York Simcoe and past district governors.

fire hall The club has contributed extensively to the community: Rixon Manor, the fire hall, Pefferlaw Community Centre and a donation of land that now houses the Pefferlaw Library.

We recently purchased a fire prevention trailer, which will be maintained by the Georgina Fire Department. This trailer will be available to schools, fairs and other groups.

The club hosts a bingo every Wednesday evening from April to November. All funds raised go right back into the community

Blood in the urine is the most common symptom of bladder cancer.

Don’t ignore this warning sign.

It could save your life.

A few of the recipients are: Lake Simcoe Minor Softball, Georgina minor baseball and hockey, Take a Child Fishing, MG Breakfast program, four Sutton High Bursaries, Camp Dorset Kidney Dialysis. dog guides, Christmas Angels, vision and hearing screening and Southlake hospital.

The club hosts an annual car show held with the PAR picnic, a children’s Christmas party and a Remembrance Day service.

It is obvious the Pefferlaw Lions Club is an integral part of the fabric of our community.

We hold our meeting the first and third Monday of every month and we welcome anyone to come as our guest to see what we are all about. On behalf of the club I look forward to meeting you.

Cheryl Bahen is secretary of the Pefferlaw Lions Club.

Corner of Woodbine and Old Homestead Road

Thanksgiving Day in Canada this year will be celebrated on Monday, October 10. The original idea was to give thanks to Almighty God for the past harvest season, although the first Thanksgiving holiday was held in Canada in 1872 to give thanks for and celebrate the recovery of the Prince of Wales, Albert Edward, from a serious illness.

Many Canadian families will keep this Thanksgiving tradition by getting together with family and friends and eat a large turkey dinner with plenty of stuffing, baked squash, consume homemade apple cider and probably pumpkin or apple pie.

Some native Canadian Indians have expressed the thought that Thanksgiving to them is a way of everyday life rather than a one-day celebration. Take a few minutes to think about that.

Everything we have is supplied by our Heavenly Father. Our forefathers appreciated that fact more than folks today. We take everything for granted, as if it has always been and always will be. However, let us remember that “every good gift and perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of Lights”. God is the “source and giver” of everything we hold dear.

How thankful we should be that our Creator provides us daily with the necessities of life, freely, and to Him is all honour and praise due. Our gratitude need not only be expressed on “Thanksgiving Day” but on every day of the year.

Give God the Glory and study His Word – the Bible – to learn more of the Divine Plan for all mankind. Write for a FREE Bible Magazine: “Light On a New World”.
