The Newmarket Hurricanes and the Markham Royals are two of four York Region-based Jr. A hockey teams struggling to get fans in the stands. The Aurora Tigers and the Stouffville Spirit also play in the Ontario Junior Hockey League.
FROZEN SECRET Ontario Junior Hockey League teams still feeling chill from fans JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com Toronto Maple Leafs. "You have to have a big heart and want to put kids on to the next level," said Hyman. "It’s up to people to decide if they want to watch it. The hockey is there no one has changed it."

"Like the NHL, it is a competitive sport although at a different level," said Thomson, who played in the NHL for parts of seven seasons. "You’re not getting rich owning a Junior A team. There’s no money in it. You have to love what you do and have a passion. We work our tails off to break even." The OJHL adopted a pay-toplay model a few seasons ago with players paying up to $6,500
towns are dying to get a Junior A team." Initially, current Newmarket owners Tony Comparelli and Anthony Cella, who purchased the team in November 2013, offered live music performances and a licensed lounge to attract fans. That tactic lasted part way into their initial season. Like most teams, the Hurricanes strive to be visible in the community. Volunteering, school appearances, helping and mentoring minor hockey programs are all intended to connect teams to potential fans. "I was surprised at how much of a disconnect from the community so my thing was to start building relationships, to get loyalty and respect," said Eric Cella, brother to the owner, who is in his second full season as Hurricanes’ general manager and director of hockey operations. "It was a surprise to me that the team is not accepted. I think now there is a group of Newmarket people excited about how our team will be this year." "I’m trying to create a small town Jr. A club in a big city," said Cella. "We want players in Newmarket who want to be Hurricanes. That’s what we’re trying to do - get kids loyal to our players and want to be Hurricanes. Once a league leader in attendance, the Hurricanes averaged under 200 fans per game last season. It is a sore spot with Anthony Cella. He hopes a six-game playoff series against the top-seeded Trenton Golden Hawks which saw crowds triple in size carries momentum into the 2017-18 season. "I think if you have a connection with the community and a winning product on the ice, fans will start to come to games," said owner Cella, pointing to a top ticket price of $10 this season. "Newmarket is a different kind of place. There are a lot of passionate fans so I think it can be turned around and increase our fan base." Log on to ojhl.pointstreaks.com to follow the teams.

ockey is supposed to be Canada’s game. Collectively, we love the sport as played at the junior level. So, why is selling Junior A hockey so difficult? The Region of York is home to four of 22 Ontario Junior Hockey League franchises - Aurora Tigers, Markham Royals, Newmarket Hurricanes and Stouffville Spirit. Making them run are owners who struggle to make it work. On a good night, a couple of hundred fans will pay to watch albeit many are likely to be family and friends. The reward? Well, there are no television rights at this level on the Hockey Canada food chain. Despite developing talent for both the Ontario Hockey League and NCAA, there is very little monetary reward for advancing players to either levels. With crowds across the league measured in dozens, gate receipts barely cover game day expenses. So, what gives, Hockey Nation? Representatives for all four franchises were asked for their views on the subject. Three responded, Stouffville Spirit being the exception. "All we can do is concentrate on producing good players people can appreciate," said Royals’ owner Stu Hyman, who transferred his Hamilton Red Wings to Markham three years ago. "Our league is all about development and providing a stepping stone to pro or even the next level. "At the end of the day we always would love to have more fans but that’s the same at any level. I don’t worry so much about attendance as much as we are a service to Markham and try to provide a good program people in Markham can be proud of." "It’s not really an issue for junior hockey. It’s a pro market. People want to see the Maple Leafs but there are avid fans that hook on to our team, too." Ironically, Hyman’s son Zach, who played when his father owned the Hamilton franchise, is currently a member of the

A teacher at a Newmarket private school has been honoured for her efforts to further critical thinking in her students. Amanda Hamm, a Grade 6 teacher at Pick-
ering College, was a recipient of the Class ACT Award from the Critical Thinking Consortium. Hamm garnered the award for a social media critical thinking project she assigned her class, according to a news release. Students were challenged to think critically about the social media
tools accessible to them and how they can use the tools to answer the question: how can we use social media for good? "Being recognized for my work with Grade 6 is a huge honour," Hamm said in a news release. "Receiving this award would not have been possible without the support from Pickering College."

COMMUNITY
Williamson remembered as a ’true Terry Foxer’ TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com Robin Williamson has left her mark on the local Terry Fox community. The late Newmarket resident first got involved in the annual Newmarket Terry Fox run doing odd jobs to help her cousin Laurie Osborne and her responsibilities grew from there until she became an integral part of the organizing team. In 2008, she was part of the team that launched the "just a buck" campaign that asked every resident to donate $1 for the 28th annual Newmarket Terry Fox Marathon of Hope. Being a teacher at Newmarket’s Terry Fox Public School, she also initiated an annual run at the school. "She always went that extra mile and was more than willing to help with whatever was asked of her," said run organizer Muriel Lee.
While the cause has always been important to the Williamson family the importance of supporting the research for a cure hit close to home when Williamson’s mother, Betty, was diagnosed with breast cancer in the spring of 2014. Only months later, Williamson herself was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that is complex to treat. Williamson, although a fierce warrior, lost her battle in 2015. "She was a very outgoing and friendly person who everyone loved," her mother said. "She was the kind of person everyone loved." Tributes poured in from her fellow Terry Foxers and from her school community. Those who had the pleasure of knowing her still speak about her bravery and passion that inspired them all. "She always had a Terry Fox shirt on, even while having treatment, which started many of conversa-

"She was a true Terry Foxer and inspired many students who now volunteer with the community run every year."
A tribute bench on the Tom Taylor Trail bearing her name is where Williamson’s fellow teachers meet every year to walk and kick off fundraising for the up-
coming run. In 2014 her friends and family formed Robin’s Sidekicks, a team that continues to participate in the run to honour her memory.

ABOUT US
Hiking HST for cities a bad idea, but what’s better? Meet Kathleen Wynne, tax fighter. Even the Ontario premier’s staunchest allies will agree that’s not a description that is often applied to Wynne. And yet, you can thank her for saying an abrupt ’no’ to a request from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) which would have seen the harmonized sales tax (HST) go up by one per cent in order to fund municipal infrastructure improvements such as roads, sewers and arenas. No doubt this is not what Wynne had in mind when she told municipalities to work together on developing new sources of revenue to make a dent in municipal infrastructure gaps. Increasing the HST from 13 to 14 per cent is not among the options she is prepared to consider. Not with an election around the corner and polls showing the Liberals are inching back into contention with the Progressive Conservatives. A bad idea motivated by good reasons is still a bad idea. Increasing the HST is not something any of the major political parties are willing to consider. Especially not the Liberals who have been criticized for previous tax increases, and especially not with a hotly contested provincial election just around the corner. But here’s the thing: While this idea was doomed from the start, the problem it was intended to address is all too real and getting more serious. Municipal officials have been warning for years that towns and cities cannot afford the growing cost of infrastructure maintenance and development. With increasing concern about liability, insurance costs are becoming prohibitive, leading to public facilities in some communities being shuttered. Roads, sewers and bridges across the province are in need of serious upgrades and repairs. This hits smaller communities with small tax bases hard, and only adds to the larger, better-documented burden placed on cities like Toronto. In most communities, the gap between need and available investment is growing incrementally every year. Provincially, it’s pegged at $4.9 billion. How will municipalities keep up? They don’t have the myriad of revenue options the province has. But for most municipalities, the options are few: increasing user fees, reduce services or increase property taxes. None of those is a sustainable strategy. They leave property taxpayers not only in Toronto but across the province with an untenable burden. There is no question. Municipalities need more options. Where are the solutions that are palatable to all involved?

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Grateful for care, compassion at Southlake On Aug. 13, my son was rushed to Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket by ambulance. Upon arrival in the emergency room, the doctors and nurses immediately responded to him. My son passed later that day. Our family would like to thank the doctors and the nurses in both the E.R. and the I.C.U. where he was transferred to before passing on. They were so compassionate and caring in my time of devastation. I would also like to thank a stranger who held my hand and tried to comfort me when my son went into cardiac arrest. I wish I had gotten his name - he, too, was a pa-
tient in the E.R. at the time. Thank you to staff at Southlake’s E.R. and the I.C.U. Paul Dibranou, Richmond Hill

child/children to a child care facility; 5) Now, you find you didn’t calculate the cost of that capable responsibility to take wonderful care of your child/children. Is that it in a nutshell? As in everything in your life, you must take full responsibility for those decisions. Our tax dollars are not there to relieve the ’burden’ of those decisions. You have left the responsibility of care in the capable hands of child care workers. Do they not deserve the payment they receive for taking care of your child/children for approximately eight hours a day while you fulfil your decision to continue your career? I am talking specifically about two parents with capable careers. I am a mother of three
and grandmother of seven, so I know full well the decisions I had to make in my life to fulfil what I wanted and to make sure my children had the best care possible, either with me or with a responsible child care facility. I’m afraid you have to choose! That’s my opinion only. R. Phillips, Markham

The treatment isn’t a cure, mother says l Continued from front
said. "The therapy sessions are every two weeks." The cost of driving and flying when the car broke down as well as the cost of hotels for the stay haven’t been light on the wallet, she admitted. But seeing the small improvements in her son’s speech and balance making it possible for him to return to Stonehaven Public School has been worth every cent. There is a silver lining. The Brochu family worked with Andrew McFadyen, founder of the Isaac Foundation and were victorious in bringing the treatment closer to home. While the clinical trials of the treatment known as Cerliponase alfa therapy for the specific form of Batten disease Neil has were closed in April, the The Hospital for Sick Children
did receive approval to provide the treatment for one patient through Health Canada’s special access program, according to Sick Kid’s Suzanne Gold. "Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 is a rare, progressive neurodegenerative disease that causes regression of acquired developmental milestones, seizures, cognitive dysfunction and the gradual loss of the ability to walk and talk," she explained. The treatment involves the administration of cerliponase alfa, a synthetic enzyme, that replaces the missing enzyme TPP1 in brain cells, which is infused directly into the patient’s brain through a catheter. Neil has already received his first treatment in Toronto. "The treatment isn’t a cure," Leah said. "But the treatment will help slow
things down until something better comes along." Word has quickly spread throughout the community about the family and many have offered help, including a local group of professionals who are hosting a charity gala event, Realtor’s Got Talent, to raise funds for the family. "This was an event to help support a little boy in our community," Century 21’s Lisa Fedele said. "We made it a fun night out while at the same time raising funds." The organizers put together a night of live entertainment, cocktails, food, a local artisan marketplace, silent auction and dancing at Old Town Hall. The group was overwhelmed by the donations and support of the Newmarket downtown businesses, many of which still have ribbon boxes at their stores col-

Smartphone-enabled monitor implanted at Southlake

Send story tips to newsroom@yrmg.com
Millions of North Americans use smartphone apps to keep tabs on weather and traffic conditions, but only one woman has an app that allows her to track her heart rhythm and chest pain symptoms through a monitor implanted in her body, according to Newmarket’s Southlake Regional Health Centre. The hospital said in a Sept. 7 press release it’s the first on the continent to implant a smartphone-enabled cardiac monitor in a patient. The insertable monitor, created by U.S.-based health care research firm Abbott, is billed as the first of its kind. The patient, Olga Pereira, was experiencing ongoing chest pains, numbness in her left arm, fatigue and rapid heartbeat, along with other symptoms of palpitations, the news release said. She also has a family history of strokes and heart attacks. The smartphone-enabled monitor was implanted into Pereira Aug. 29 by Dr. Atul Verma.

Mary St.
ESTEREL, PQ: The 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT is a very clever piece of packaging. It looks like a compact CUV for those leaning in that buying direction — as, it seems, everyone in Canada is these days. Yet it’s really a five-door hatchback but not bare bones equipped. For example, even the base model is fitted with standard heated front seats and – get ready – standard leather wrapped heated steering wheel. Even as I pulled into the Elantra GT media launch site in Esterel, PQ, I wondered what all the compact CUVs were doing in the staging area, not the semi fastbacks I was expecting. The Elantra GT has been around for 18 years with the 2018 model kicking off its fourth generation. Always a hatchback, the idea of making it look like a crossover that rides closer to the ground, actually improves its appearance. This is augmented in no small part by a new “cascading” grille treatment with gently rearward tapering roofline and long front hood. Cargo volume is what the GT (Hyundai speak for hatchback) compact car is all about, with 705 litres of space behind the 60/40 split/fold rear seat and 1,560 litres folded. Towing is not recommended. The GT comes in two flavours – the base

Fuel economy numbers for the GT pair are not yet available. But, for comparison, the 1.6-litre turbo in the Elantra Sport sedan is rated at 10.7/7.8/9.4L/100 km city/highway/ combined for the manual and 8.8/7.0/8.1L/100 km with the dual clutch. Pricing was also not announced, but we were told to expect it in the low $20k to low $30K range. Hyundai knows Canadians want content, so included with the standard heated steering wheel/front seats, the base GT will also contain a ton of stuff such as Blind Spot detection with Rear Cross-Traffic alert, projector headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) Side mirror turn indicator, eight-inch display AM/FM/SiriusXM augmented with dynamic guideline s, backup camera and Android Auto and Apple Car-Play. But the knockout feature seen for the first time on the GT and rolling out across Hyundai is BlueLink available on the Sport in which the car is actually a communication device. Using a smartphone, you can start it remotely and set the temperature to cool and/ or heat including the steering wheel and set the idle time too, if you wish. You can locate it by cellphone if you forgot where you are parked and be guided to it, lock or unlock remotely, get drivetrain diagnostics and service notifications. To demonstrate BlueLink, Hyundai had a Sport on a raft floating in the middle of lake in front of the hotel where the media launch was held. From the shore, a Hyundai official unlocked the doors (visible by the yellow outside
mirrors flashing) and turned the car on and off. BlueLink will be offered as a full service feature free for five years from purchase. I did not sample any of the manuals, but I have to say the 2.0-litre really impressed, feeling both solid thanks to the 53 per cent use of high-strength steel and the excellently communicative steering feedback from the front MacPherson strut suspension. But where it shone was up, around down and through the winding two-lane blacktop roads peppered with small delivery trucks. Normally, trying to see around and pass would be a white-knuckle event in situations like this, but the GT was plenty spunky when I needed it to be. Hyundai automatics offer three (Eco, Normal, Sport) drivetrain response modes and I made the most of Sport when passing. Another thing my co-driver and I both noticed was how quiet the 2.0-litre was even when getting out and walking around it at idle during a driver seat change. The Sport with its fancy interior with red trim accent pieces and red seatbelts was even quicker and the handling was improved thanks to the multi-link rear suspension as opposed to the simple torsion twist beam in the 2.0-litre. There is much to commend this vehicle to those who like the idea of getting around in what looks like a crossover but who are looking for included content that doesn’t drive the price into the stratosphere. It’s an intriguing combination that is worth a look when it arrives in Hyundai Canada showrooms.

Chevrolet has unveiled the Wheels & Wings - a Chevrolet tribute to the iconic Detroit Red Wings “Winged Wheel” logo sculpture that is now on display inside the brand’s entrance to the new Little Caesars Arena. Measuring nine feet long and five feet high, the sculpture is an original work by Tomas Vitanovsky, a former professional motorcycle stuntman from the Czech Republic who now pieces together discarded parts to create intricate works of art ranging from animals to cars and robots. The sculpture took a total of 700 hours for Vitanovsky to sketch, model and sculpt. The Chevrolet vehicle components used to create the sculpture include shocks, brake calipers,

More CONNECT Q&A MICHAEL ASKED: Why is an always empty YRT bus (marked as 320 express) going up and down along Hwy 404 all day long? I have never seen any passengers in it.
HOW CAN WE COMPARE EMERGENCY WAIT TIMES? Shutterstock
yorkregion.com
KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com You’re faced with a health emergency. Where do you go? Do you take a chance and drive to the local hospital emergency room, possibly waiting for hours on end, or take a gamble on another hospital further away? Karen Mulvey lives in Keswick and works in Vaughan. She asked us, through CONNECT, whether the province’s new wait times registry will make it easier to decide where to go for emergency health care. The answer is yes – and no. If you live in York Region, you have three emergency room (ER) options: Newmarket’s Southlake Hospital in the north, Mackenzie Health and Markham Stouffville in the south. If you live in the northernmost parts of the region, Royal Victoria in Barrie may be a fourth option. The province has created a new online tool that provides wait times for these, and 122 other ERs and Urgent Care Centres in Ontario. You can visit ontariowaittimes.com to get an idea
of how long a patient needing immediate, unscheduled health care can expect to spend in an ER. However, that information is not posted in real time (it’s updated on the second last business day of the month), and it can’t tell you the time you will spend in ER on a particular day. Only patients heading to Markham Stouffville Hospital can see estimated emergency wait times in real time, thanks to a tool on the hospital’s website, msh.on.ca Royal Victoria is currently reviewing that technology to see if it would be beneficial for
Barrie, according to Paula Istead, operations director, Emerg e n cy a n d I C U. M a cke n z i e Health will also consider the service, spokesperson Catalina Guran said. Meantime, the best provincewide data says you can expect to wait the longest in the ER in the wee hours of the morning. At Mackenzie Richmond Hill hospital, busiest days for the emergency depar tment are Sundays and Mondays (or Mondays and Tuesday after the long weekends), Guran said. Longest waits are usually around 10 a.m. until noon and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. At Southlake, there is not
one particular day or time that is the busiest, according to the hospital’s strategic communications consultant Kathryn Perrier. It is also difficult to pinpoint the busiest days and times at Royal Victoria, said Dr. Natalie Cousineau, chief of emergency. “We typically see and treat up to 300 patients each day, making us the busiest ED in the region,” she said. “We service a huge geographical area, are situated on a very busy main highway and deal with a large influx of seasonal patients due to our proximity to cottage country.” In general, urban residents tend to wait longer in ER than people living in rural areas, according to a study by Health Quality Ontario. Karen Mulvey thinks there would be value in a real-time clock that would allow residents to compare hospitals and avoid the “brutal” wait times. “What happens now, people get there and wait for hours and leave angry. At least you’d know g o i n g i n a n d m ayb e wo u l d choose not to go, to wait and go to your doctor during business hours instead.”
The answer from Christine Terin, manager of marketing and communications at YRT: YRT Route 320 - Newmarket-Beaver Creek Express was implemented on Sept. 6, 2016 as per York Region Transit’s 2016 annual service plan. This express route connects Newmarket and Aurora with Beaver Creek and Commerce Valley employment areas via Hwy. 404. It operates during weekday rush hours at a frequency of 35 minutes. Ridership has steadily increased from accommodating approximately 26 passengers to approximately 37 passengers daily in the last three months. YRT/Viva monitors new services for a minimum of 12 months of operation to ensure they meet service standards. JULIE ASKED: What has happened to the big fountain, sponsored by the Newmarket Rotary Club, that used to run in Fairy Lake? It hasn’t been on all summer and we miss it. The answer from Jeff Bond, Newmarket parks manager: The fountain was damaged due to the large amounts of rain during the week of June 19, June 22 and June 23. The fountain was eventually carried away by the heavy flow of water. Newmarket staff tried to recover the fountain, but efforts have been discontinued due to safety concerns. A READER ASKED: When is the City of Vaughan going to widen Hwy. 7 between Kipling Avenue and Wigwoss Drive? It is the only stretch of Hwy. 7 that is still two lanes. The answer from Thomas MacPherson, manager of transportation asset management at the Region of York: At this time, there are no immediate plans to widen this section of Hwy. 7. Future rapid transit is identified for this section of Hwy. 7, but there are currently no immediate plans and timelines for the stretch. However, there are other significant transportation projects currently under construction that can help get residents around in the City of Vaughan; this includes the Toronto-York Spadina subway extension and the Hwy. 7 West/Woodbridge vivaNext rapid transit project. More information on these projects can be found at vivanext.com.

walking down the street and see a character. Immediately in my mind, I know there’s somebody that’s going in a book." She does have some tricks for naming characters. "I get names from the back of the telephone book, which is getting thinner," she said. "There are so many interesting last names that you can use as first names." Gloster’s late husband worked for IBM and she said they moved a lot. "We’ve been from one side of Canada to the other and a few of the states," she said. All that moving around inspired the backdrops for many of her stories. A lot of the books are set in places she has lived, including York Region. "I’ve lived in Newmarket a long time," she said, adding an upcoming book will be taking place in Queensville and Mount Albert areas. Gloster has advice for aspiring writers. "Just keep trying. Don’t ever, ever give up. I hope they don’t have to live to be 80 to have it happen." Copies of Gloster’s book can be purchased at greatcanadianauthors.ca.

Shirley Gloster kills people. Well, in her stories, anyway. The 84-year-old Newmarket resident and author writes mysteries and she will be celebrating the launch of her first published novel, Ghosts of the Past and Murder, on Sept. 16 at the Senior’s Meeting Place from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. "It’s exciting. It’s a good story," she said. Gloster said she has been writing all her life, but it was not until her husband died that she decided to look into getting published. "I had all these books in pages here and pages there, and ideas here and ideas there," she said. "After my husband passed away, I started looking at it seriously, thinking, ’You know what, I could put all this writing into novels.’" It took her a few years to get things put together into different stories, but then her work was published with an online publisher. She recently approached Word Alive Press, a book publishing
company in Winnipeg that started to publish her novels into books. "I think I really didn’t think that it was going to happen," she said. "I jumped up and down practically. Of course, I had to phone everyone." Sylvia St. Cyr, publishing consultant at Word Alive Press, said they are currently working on Gloster’s second novel, which will be the first in a series of three, The Sally Cameron Mysteries. "She has been incredible to work with and I know that she will continue to work hard to get these books out to the public," she said. Ghosts of the Past and Murder is about a reporter who receives a tip about a murdered family in the Niagara region, and her family might be involved. She decides to investigate with her best friend and her dog. The story involves romance, crimes and clues. Gloster said she is not sure where she gets her ideas. "They just pop in my head like you wouldn’t believe. I have an amazing imagination and I don’t know where it comes from," she said. "I can be

4 simple tips for a strong start to the school year After summer break it can be hard to transition back into the school routine. As the new school year approaches, it’s helpful to start preparing your child(ren) so that by the time the first day of school arrives, the whole family is feeling prepared. Here is a list of simple tips to make back to school a breeze: 1. Set up a schedule - Ease into your routine over a one to two-week period
to ensure you’re ready for the first day back. You can start by re-introducing a consistent bedtime and practicing morning rituals like eating breakfast together at a regular time. 2. Get organized - Help your child get back into the swing of things by making sure they have a clean and quiet study area. Restock school supplies and set it up together to make it a fun activity that will get them excited
about using the space. 3. Reduce screen time - More free time in the summer often means more time spent in front of a screen, be it TV or tablet. Increased screen time can lead to poor sleeping habits and reduced attention spans, so implement a schedule as you prepare for the school year. A good rule to follow could be no screens in the morning and a set amount of time in the evening. Make
sure screens are off completely an hour before bed. 4. Seek extra support - Everyone learns at their own pace, and some subjects like math and reading may take more time to master than others. Afterschool programs are a great way to help your child foster confidence and strong work-skills. With the help of a trained instructor, they work with your child to set up an individual lesson plan
that aims to build a lifetime of math and reading success.

Notice of Public Community Open House for a Project Proposal for Incremental Regulation Capacity The proponent identified below is proposing to submit a proposal to the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to design, build, and operate a facility for Incremental Regulation Capacity (IRC). The IESO is seeking to expand the breadth of its Regulation market and expand its capacity to schedule Regulation. This will be achieved by increasing the amount of scheduled regulation from 100MW to a range of between 150 to 200MW for each hour, and developing sufficient market breadth to allow it to schedule between 250 to 300MW of Regulated capacity on an as-needed basis by 2020. IRC is a competitive process and is a critical step towards reaching these targets. This notice is to inform the public of a community open house to discuss this specific IRC project. Information regarding the proponent, the Project proposal, and the open house details are described below. This public community open house is being held as part of the early community engagement requirements of the IRC. The IRC Project and its proposed connection will be described at the open house. Representatives of the proponent will be available to discuss the Project and the overall IRC process. Further details regarding the IRC are available at http://www.ieso.ca/en/sector-participants/market-operations/markets-and-related-programs/ regulation-service-rfp

Players will want to avoid failing left on the par 3 second hole of The Lakes at Nobleton Lakes Golf Club. tion changes. CLUB-TOSSING TIME: A diabolical green can induce nightmares about the ninth hole on the Lakes. Sloping back to front, putts can easily funnel off the green. Just ask Mr. Wiggedy Whack. A long pond shoulders the right side of the fairway to the bunker-guarded green of this tough par-4. PANEL’S PICK: The redesign of the course a couple of years ago altered the View’s finish. The former No. 7, a downhill right dogleg, is a nifty closing hole. Key is to drive into the fairway and avoid a pond waiting to the left of the green. THE PRO’S VIEW: "The property is stunning and the design is so natural," said Kerr. "Both designers used the natural roll and terrain so well.
These two nines flow together well. It feels like a full-on 18 holes." GENERAL INFO: Nobleton Lakes is marking its 35th season of operations . The View is the youngest of the three nines, added to the course by Doug Carrick by integrating six new holes with three holes from the original back nine. Rene Muylaert designed the original 18-hole layout. LOCATION: 125 Nobleton Lakes Dr., King City . Situated on Highway 27, north of King Sideroad . Tel: 905-859-4070 . Website: nobletonlakes.com. * The Pro’s Tour is a look at golf courses in and near York Region appearing on a regular basis online and in York Region Media Group newspapers. COMPILED BY JOHN CUDMORE

NOBLETON LAKES (Lakes/View) ASSOCIATE GOLF PRO: Stefan Kerr. STATUS: Public. SIGNATURE HOLE: Seventh hole, Lakes. It is a risk-reward par-5 playing downhill off the tee box. Water guards the front of the green all but for a small landing area to the left side. Given the advantage of a downwind, it is often a reachable green in two very good shots. The View - Island greens just have a way of finding their way into the hearts of golfers. Formerly the leadoff hole on the View, No. 3 is a popular request by guests. The par-3 test plays to 130 yards off the white tees and, of course, is all carry. A sneaky canal to the left and back of the smallish green demand pinpoint control. TROUBLE AWAITS: The Loop references the first three holes of Lakes, a par 5-3-4 combination that sets the tone for the round. "If you can get through the Loop without trouble, there is a good chance you will put up a good score for this nine," said associate golf pro Stefan Kerr, in his sixth season at Nobleton Lakes. Particularly, the third hole is an interesting right dogleg playing to an elevated green with a blind approach shot. The View provides a similar stretch from the second to fourth holes. CURSE OF THE COURSE: On the Lakes, the many false fronts to greens wait to bedevil first-time visitors. Tricky, undulating greens are the View’s calling card. GIMME A LIFE MEMBERSHIP: The contrasting styles of the nines comprising the 27hole facility are a winner. As always, location on Oak Ridges Moraine assures variety and eleva-

It is difficult to get behind the planned celebration for a 50th anniversary season by the Aurora Tigers. First, it is not clear what the Tigers are actually celebrating. The party line, after months of questioning owner Jim Thomson, is a celebration of 50 years of Aurora Tigers hockey at the Jr. B and A levels. It is a designation requiring mentally ramming a square peg into a round hole to make it fit with a desire to have a celebration season. While the Tigers have planned an elaborate marking of a milestone on Friday night to kick off the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL) season against the defending Royal Bank Cup champion Cobourg Cougars, the math simply does not add up no matter how many times in a day the number 50 is repeated. Research reveals the Tigers’ moniker was first applied to the Jr. C team in Aurora starting in 1962. So linking the name to a golden anniversary is out since that was 55 years ago.
l GET
JOHN CUDMORE jcudmore@yrmg.com The 1967 connection is close. Kinda. However, it is also noteworthy the Tigers were the Eagles for several seasons bridging the 1980s and 1990s. In fact, junior hockey took the 1985-86 season off in Aurora, a barren stretch from which the Eagles emerged. For the record, Aurora had Jr. B teams in the 1950s, including the Bears which reached the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) Jr. B final in 1959 only to lose four games and tie another in a seven-game series against Sarnia. As a side note, an Aurora entry - nickname unknown - lost two games to one in the 1938 OHA Jr. B final against Orangeville. The next season Aurora took down Milton, 3-1 in

games. One thing hockey fans can count on for Friday’s home opener (7:30 p.m.) at the Aurora Community Centre is a clash between the only two OJHL franchises to win Royal Bank Cup titles. The Cougars won earlier this year as the host entry despite bowing out of the playoffs early. Aurora, of course, won RBC titles in 2004 and 2007. The 2004 squad has strong claim as the best team ever to play at the Canadian Junior Hockey League level. In fact, the rules regarding player eligibility were changed after that season to limit the number of 20-year-old players permitted on a roster. That is worth celebrating. * Football six-pack It appears the York Region Athletic Association (YRAA) senior/varsity football league will operate its 2017 season with six teams, a loss of one school from last season. After a one-year stint in YRAA, Villanova College is opting out for this season. The league was scheduled to hold its annual preseason scheduling meeting Sept. 13. *Homey touch It isn’t quite a home
away from home, but the Newmarket Hurricanes have created a playerfriendly retreat inside the Ray Twinney Complex. General manager Eric Cella explains a lounge has been created in the corner bunker located on the upper level of the rink where players can assemble for snacks, downtime and do homework between classes

Hearing Aid Trial
“ Why do I hear but not understand? ” If you struggle to understand, you’re not alone, in fact 47% of Canadians over the age of 60 have hearing loss. Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult. The right hearing aid could help you improve your comprehension.

JUSTICE OF THE PEACE VACANCIES Ontario Court of Justice COURT LOCATIONS: Barrie (1) Barrie (Bilingual-1) Brampton (3) Cornwall (1) Dryden (1)
London (1) Oshawa (1) Ottawa (Bilingual-1) Peterborough (1) Sault Ste. Marie (1)
Timmins* (1) Timmins (Bilingual-1) Toronto (7)
At the request of the Attorney General and in accordance with the Justices of the Peace Act, the Justices of the Peace Appointments Advisory Committee invites applications for vacant Justice of the Peace positions in the Province of Ontario. A Justice of the Peace is an independent judicial officer who presides in court over various proceedings under federal and provincial statutes. Applicants must meet minimum qualifications as set out in the Justices of the Peace Act. The Justices of the Peace Appointments Advisory Committee reviews and evaluates applications and classifies candidates as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not Qualifiedâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Qualifiedâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Highly Qualifiedâ&#x20AC;?. Classifications are reported to the Attorney General, who recommends candidates for Order-in-Council appointments to the Ontario Court of Justice. In addition to reflecting the diversity of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population, applicants should also display the fundamental skills and abilities, personal characteristics and community awareness attributes set out in the Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Selection Criteria. Bilingual positions require a high degree of proficiency in English as well as a superior level of oral and written proficiency in French. As First Nations people comprise a large percentage of the population in the areas being serviced by the court in Timmins*, we especially encourage people of Indigenous heritage and people with an in-depth understanding of Indigenous communities and the issues affecting those communities to apply for this vacancy. For detailed information about the vacancies noted above, minimum qualifications and the General Selection Criteria, the required application form, and the Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s process, please visit the website of the Justices of the Peace Appointments Advisory Committee at www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/jpaac. Applications for current vacancies must be submitted on the current prescribed application form and received by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 11, 2017. Applications received after this date WILL NOT be considered. PLEASE NOTE: Future vacancies and deadlines for applications will be posted on the Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website as they occur. Interested individuals can receive e-mail notification of vacancies by registering at www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/jpaac/advertisements/registration. Pour voir cette annonce en français, consulter le site Web du ComitĂŠ Ă www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/fr/jpaac/annonces.
