Nobleton LakesThe View/The WoodHEAD PRO: Jon MozesSTATUS: PublicSIGNATURE HOLE: If Nobleton Lakes has not been on your list of courses played in the past year or so, it may be time to get re-acquainted.Without hesitation, the island green is the hole most remembered at this 27-hole facility. Though there is no physical change, a completely different mindset grips players at this short par-3 thanks to a shuffling of the deck of holes.The former starting hole to The View is now No. 3, which means a chance for players starting on this particular nine to get their feet wet before testing their nerve over the all-carry tee shot.At 122 yards (white tees) the play remains the same – better long or slightly wide than short and wet.“The main reason for the change is to avoid the island hole as the starting hole,” said head golf professional Jon Mozes. “It’s a tough way to start. It’s a two-hole warmup now and guys love the change.”
Course tweaks make for new-look Nobleton LakesTHE PR ’S TOUR
The Pro’s Tour reviews golf courses in and near York Region and
appears on a regular basis online and in York Region Media Group newspapers.
TROUBLE AWAITS: Following a gentle par-5 start to The Woods, including a newly designed (2015) No. 1 green, better buckle down the rest of the way. From holes two through nine it’s a twisty-turnsy challenge to work through tree-lined holes.The good news on the Woods-View combo, though, is that the toughest challenge is the first 12 holes, rounded off by No. 3 (island green) on The View layout. A good score to that point brings a chance for good scoring entering a relatively forgiving six finishing holes as the course opens up in typical Doug Carrick fashion.
CURSE OF THE COURSE: The stretch of holes on The Woods from No. 5 through 8 test accuracy through tree-lined fairways.Then again, nothing is truly easy on any of the three distinctly different nine-hole courses at Nobleton Lakes.“None of the holes on this course are a cakewalk,” offered panel member Mr. Wiggedy Whack.GIMME A LIFE MEMBERSHIP: The traditional parkland layout uses the Oak Ridges Moraine to full advantage. Lots of eye-catching holes and fair challenge await.Fall golf is a treat for the eyes as changing leaves add to the visual appeal.CLUB-TOSSING TIME: The second and third holes on The View are waiting to pounce on a good score from the front nine.On this two-hole mini-stretch, it is a challenge from the first swing on the par-5 starting hole and No. 2 is rated as the toughest handicap on the nine. The former 8-9 View combo can be a sobering start to your round. The View ends at the former No. 7“You can easily throw away a good Woods nine in a hurry,” said Mozes.PANEL’S PICK: The fifth and sixth holes on The Woods
are beauties.The former is a par-3 playing along the pond connect-ing the holes. The latter, a par-4 test from a pie-shaped tee box, requires a drive to carry the same pond and plays into a tree-lined fairway and enclosed green.THE PRO’S VIEW: From the club’s point of view, the redesign of holes creates a better flow and pace. All three nines now start with par fives.“It makes the pace of play better and smoother starts. It backs off that logjam,” said Mozes.GENERAL INFO: Nearly $1-million has been poured into clubhouse renovations. Additionally, upgrades to bunkers has added to the experience ... Plan is to upgrade greens over the next 10 years … Opened for play in early 1980s.LOCATION: 125 Nobleton Lakes Drive, Nobleton

■ EDITORIAL COLUMN
Police deserve credit for #ImTHATPersonocal police are getting some recognition for its #ImTHATPerson campaign and deserv-edly so.
The program launched at the advent of the holiday season and encouraged residents to pledge to be THAT person to help pre-vent their friends and loved ones from driving impaired.
Being THAT person entailed not only speaking out against driving under the influence, but also taking action to prevent impaired persons from getting behind the wheel, such as ensur-ing any party guests consuming alcohol have a place to stay the night or a safe ride home.
The campaign also urged the public to call police whenever they witness impaired driving occurring or suspect it might be taking place.
It’s an important message given that
impaired driving remains the No. 1 criminal cause
of death in Canada.
The initiative sparked a vital discussion both for those who received the mes-sage via traditional media and those who spread it via social media employing the hashtag #ImTHATPerson.
In addition to coming just prior to the holidays, the kick off
for #ImTHATPerson came shortly after the Sept. 27 collision that claimed the lives of Daniel Nev-ille-Lake, 9, his brother Harrison, 5, their sister Milly, 2, and their grandfather, Gary Neville, 65.
The SUV that collided with the Neville-Lake family’s mini-van was driven by Marco Muzzo who pleaded guilty to impaired driving causing death in March and received a sentence of 10 years in prison.
You might think that such tragedies would be enough to prevent anyone from even con-sidering driving while impaired.
You’d be wrong.Scarcely a week goes by with-
out police issuing a news release listing the number of impaired charges laid over a given period.
Following a particularly “dis-appointing” weekend in Febru-ary, police issued a reminder about the dangers of impaired driving and asked citizens to keep the #ImTHATPerson cam-paign going.
It’s an important message given that impaired driving remains the No. 1 criminal cause of death in Canada.
What’s more, the number of impaired driving arrests has been trending up over the past few years.
Next week is Canada Day and its arrival on a Friday makes for a long weekend.
As such, let’s all be willing to say #ImTHATPerson and keep this, now award-winning, cam-paign going.

Technology? It’s finally time you meet activity
Tracy Kibble
t seems we are the lethargic victims of our over-active technological appetites.
This is especially the case when it comes to our sluggish, lackadaisical
kids.ParticipACTION — a non-profit national
organization that encourages physical activ-ity and overall healthy living — released its latest study last week, and to say the results are alarming, would be a gross understate-ment. The group’s latest findings are that children are not getting enough sleep because they don’t get enough activity dur-ing the day to make them tired.
The group also found children spend way too much time staring at computers and mobile device screens — which keeps them indoors, sitting for long periods of time — and away from the movement, fresh air and social interaction their growing bodies and minds so desperately need.
The most disturbing discovery is that children are sleep deprived, which sets off a cyclical downward spiral, making them less active and lazy from the minute they awake.
This should set off an alarm clock for adults who care for, nurture and supervise today’s youngsters. We must kick out of bed this disturbing trend where it’s now the norm for children to be sluggish and unmo-tivated.
This is the part where I could preach about how my generation — which grew up in the 1960s and ’70s — was outside playing at the crack of dawn each day; swimming at the beach, popping flies on the baseball field or hanging upside down at the park, only to return hours later for supper and then fall, exhausted, into bed.
But I won’t do that. It’s a much differ-ent world out there today and, because of that, we have to re-invent how to live in the 21st century. We need to find that balance between our brain’s thirst for technological discovery and our inherent need for physi-cal activity and stimulation.
We need to look to educators to take a few first crucial steps to reconciling the mess we’ve all created.
The good news is, there are slow emerg-ing clues that we are starting to turn the tide on our over-indulgent, dozing, lazy life-styles, but it’s coming at a snail’s pace.
Communities, for example, are being designed to incorporate more active life-styles, encouraging families to get out of their vehicles and into the sunshine.
And many young parents are starting to head outdoors with their children to promote that balance of physical and intel-lectual bonding and play.
Here’s a few suggestions to keep the momentum going:
• Ensure every public school in Ontario has at least one teacher on staff with a degree and/or training in physical educa-tion: a majority of teachers don’t have the slightest idea how to get children moving and have little knowledge about the science of how young bodies work and flourish.
• Make physical and health education part of our school curriculum from Grade 1, so that children learn to appreciate and value, at a very young age, how energy, team-building sports and ramped-up metabolisms make for sharper minds and better night’s sleeps.
• Make physical education a three-credit course in high school. As it is now, only one credit is required and, after that, most stu-dents, especially girls, never see a gym class for the next three years.
• Finally, and this is the most important suggestion: parents must limit screen time to no more than a few hours each day. Studies show only 24 per cent of five to 17-year-olds meet the Canadian Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines recommendation of no more than two hours of recreational screen time per day, according to a Cana-dian Health Measures survey in 2012.
How many more studies need there be, before leaders stand up and make the responsible and necessary changes to save an entire generation from myriad health problems, such as sleep deprivation, dia-betes and hyper-tension, to name a few? There’s been enough talk. It’s time to wake up.

Spoil a mosquito’s dinner plansWest Nile virus
Fight the bite…What is West Nile virus?West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne virus that is spread to humansfrom the bite of an infectedmosquito.
What are the symptoms of West Nile virus?Most people infected with West Nile virus have no symptoms orhave flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches andfatigue. Sometimes West Nile virus can cause severe illness includingmeningitis and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain).Symptoms usually develop within two to 15 days of being bitten byan infectedmosquito.
Who is at risk for West Nile virus?Everyone who is outside during the summer months is at risk forWest Nile virus and should take precautions to avoid being bitten bymosquitoes. People with a chronic illness and the elderly should beespecially careful.
What York Region is doing…The York RegionWest Nile virus Control Plan for 2016 includesmosquito-control activities (larviciding), public education, andmosquito and human surveillance.
What is larviciding?Larviciding is a low-risk and effective measure for the control of WestNile virus. The slow-release pellet formulation interferes with themosquito lifecycle, preventing the mosquito larvae from reachingmaturity. Larvicide is not sprayed and will be applied into the standingwater of catch basins in four phases from June through September.
Will York Region apply larvicide on private property?If you are concerned about catch basins on your property, place amesh screen over the catch basin to prevent mosquitoes from enteringand exiting. A limited number of backyard catch basins located onprivate property will be treated with larvicide on a case-by-case basis.
What you can do…Prevention and protection are the best ways to protect yourself andyour family fromWest Nile virus.
Clean upThe best way to keepmosquitoes away is to clean up areas ofstanding water where they like to breed. Look around your house andproperty and get rid of places that are “mosquito friendly”.• Clean up and empty containers where water collects such as oldtires, tin cans and flower pots
• Change water in bird baths weekly• Remove water that collects on pool covers• Turn over items such as wading pools, wheelbarrows andsmall boats
• Clear leaves and twigs from eavestroughs, storm and roof gutters• Unclog drainage ditches so that water flows freely• Make sure swimming pool pumps are circulating water• Clear out dense shrubbery where mosquitoes like to rest• Turn over compost frequently• Check that door and window screens are tight-fitting and ingood repair
• Drill holes in the bottoms of containers so water cannot collect
Cover upMosquitoes are most active between dusk and dawn. Protect yourselfand your family• Wear light-coloured, long-sleeved shirts and pants• Consider using federally-registered insect repellents on exposedskin, such as those containing DEET
• Always follow product instructions• The concentration of DEET should be no greater than 30 per cent foradults and no greater than 10 per cent for children
• DEET-based repellents can also be used on top of clothing. Do notuse repellents under clothing
• Several DEET-free botanical repellents are federally registered butprovide a shorter time of effectiveness
York Region Public Health does not recommend the use of bat boxes as an effective method of mosquito control due to the risk of rabies. Inprevious summers, some bats in York Region have tested positive for rabies.

York Region’s Catholic school trustees won’t be able to bring in a balanced budget this month, but they are chopping enough to buy some breathing space from the province, vice-chairperson Elizabeth Crowe says.
It is illegal for municipalities and school boards to run deficits.
The York Catholic District School Board learned that the hard way about 20 years ago when a potential $32-million deficit led to threats that the province would take over the board, leaving trustees to make some dif-ficult financial decisions instead.
This year, the board was faced with a potential deficit of $12 million on its $568.8 million budget.
During a marathon meeting Tuesday night that ran until about 1 a.m., trustees cut $4.4 million.
For example, they cut $1 million by getting rid of six resource teachers who help teachers with professional development.
The resource teachers have not been laid off, they will resume the positions they had before, said Crowe, the trustee for Aurora, King and Whitchurch-Stouffville.
Another $1 million has been found in administrative cuts by not hiring vacant posi-tions or re-aligning staff.
“There will be no layoffs at this point,” Crowe said.
“Right now, we are fortunate enough not to have to do layoffs.”
However, the board will be looking to close some schools and cut back on transportation costs in coming years, Crowe said.
The board has also found $2 million by changing the way benefits are dealt with and $1 million in cutting non-mandatory profes-sional development costs, Crowe said.
Meanwhile, trustees said they are com-
mitted to boosting support for the board’s northern initiative program to help increase student achievement in its Georgina schools, which fall below board and provincial stan-dards.
There are still more budget meetings this month where trustees will look to make fur-ther cuts.
At this point, the goal is to bring in a “compliant” rather than balanced budget, Crowe said.
If the board can bring its deficit down to $5.1 million — about 1 per cent of its budget — the province won’t step in and trustees will then have until December to look further at the financial books and other factors, such as student enrolment, she said.
Trustees also agreed to give the Italian community until December to raise money to bankroll the cherished extended day Ital-ian language and cultural program.
Ken Cancellara, president of the Ontario branch of the National Congress of Italian-Canadians, pleaded with trustees to save the program.
While he sympathized with the board’s financial plight, he urged trustees not to embark on a “slash and burn” mentality.
“The topic of even the remote possibility of removing the teaching of Italian from the school system is a hot topic for discussion in the streets, at espresso bars, in corporate offices, at fundraising events, everywhere. I know this because I have been personally approached by many such concerned citi-zens asking, ‘What is the community doing about this outrage’,” Cancellara said.
“Please don’t underestimate this so-far smooth flowing current that could instantly turn into very turbulent and raging waters. Canadians of Italian heritage are a passion-ate people, especially when it comes to the preservation of their culture.”

Nobleton United Church summer events
NaNcy HopkiNsoNSpecial to the King Connection
On June 26 at 11:15 am, our guest speaker is Kathy Dakin. She is a retired elementary school teacher who grew up at Emmanuel United Church in Bramalea.
Kathy, chairperson of congregational life at Emman-uel, sings and plays guitar in an alternative choir and is an active UCW member. In the community, Kathy volunteers at Regeneration and serves breakfast once a week to their guests. She has been a member of Peel Choral Society Singers for almost 20 years. Kathy has been doing a couple of services at Emmanuel each year for maybe the last five or more years. She filled in at King City within the last year.
Throughout July, our joint services with Schomberg United will be at St. Mary Magdalene Church, 161 Church St., Schomberg at 9:30 am. During the first three weeks of July, we will have a husband and wife ministe-rial team. Keith Knill will give a message on July 3; Marjo-rie Knill will do July 10; Keith will give a message on July 17 and Marjorie will do the Sacrament of Baptism.
Messy Church continues throughout at the summer on the second Tuesday of the month. Next one is July 12, 5 to 7 p.m. The third and final of the Bible landscapes series (the first two were Bible mountains and Bible roads) is on Bible seasides. “Tell me the stories of Jesus, I love to hear, things I would ask you to tell me if he were here: scenes by the wayside, tales of the sea, stories of Jesus, tell them to me.”
All the activities will be related to seasides in the Bible… seashells, fish mosaics, making paper boats and testing them in a baby bath, making a picture using glue and “sand” made from salt and red poster paint (wash-able).
essy Church is not a “United Church” program. It is non-denominational. Many different churches are using the ideas that are suggested in the Messy Church books, which were written in England, so some of the references have to be adjusted for Canadians.
Last month, it was suggested that we make “lollipop ladies” (Canadian words, “crossing guards”). The idea was that we would use glace icing to glue a mouth and eyes on a big lollipop. Crossing guards help guide us on our journey, just as Jesus’ guidance helps us to try to love one another.
On July 24, there will be a congregational picnic at Jack and Kim Campbell’s, on the 18th Sideroad. Phone 905-939-2992 for the exact directions. We will gather at 11 a.m., sing songs, have a short message and lunch at 11:30 a.m. Bring a salad or dessert. The barbecue and drinks will be supplied. There are walks that you can take and/or have a swim in the pool.
On July 31, the joint service is at the Kitchen Breedon Manor in Schomberg at 9:30 a.m. Our guest is Sandra Kirby from King City.
Throughout August, the joint services will be at Nobleton United at 11:15 a.m. Various church members will be leading interactive services.
For more information, visit nobletonunitedchurch.com, our Facebook page, or call 905-859-3976. The church office is normally open on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Messages are picked up regularly. We are located at 6076 King Rd., north side, about six buildings west of Hwy. 27. We have a big parking lot at the rear of the building, an accessible ramp at the rear of the building, chair lifts and accessible washrooms.

NOTICE OFINTENDED DECLARATION
Pursuant to Section 176 of Ontario Regulation30/11 made under the Funeral, Burial and
Cremation Services Act, 2002
Re: Burial site located east of Keele Street in an area of scrubbush approximately 150 m north of Di Nardo Court, Part of Lot 9,Concession 3, King City, Regional Municipality of York, HistoricKing Township, Province of Ontario
TAKE NOTICE that on April 15, 2016, the discovery of a burial sitewas reported to the Registrar, Funeral, Burial and Cremation ServicesAct, 2002, when human remains were uncovered during excavationworks on the property in preparation for the construction of aresidential development.
The archaeological investigation revealed the remains of four separateindividuals, with a likely fifth, buried in the Christian tradition. Inaddition, the excavation revealed a headstone, and three undisturbedcoffins. Given the nature of the burials and the recovered headstone,the investigation has determined that this is a 19th century familyburial plot that fell out of use in the late 19th century and wassubsequently forgotten.
The headstone belonged to Isaac Morris, who died in 1856. It ispresumed that one of the recovered graves contains Isaac’s remains,and historical records indicate that his wife Elizabeth is also likelyinterred in this plot. Isaac purchased the property from Elizabeth’s father,Samuel Crosley (also spelt Crossley) in 1819, but records indicate thatthe first residents were tenant farmers James Burns and John Kerr, untilIsaac and his family moved to the property. Isaac and Elizabeth had fourchildren, and one of their sons sold the property to John Cain in 1865,and he lived there with his wife Ann until it was sold to Edward Ball in1874. Edward and his wife Cicely, who are buried in a family plot in theKing City Cemetery, had nine children together, and one of their sonssold the property in 1912. It is difficult to determine who the additionalinterments uncovered at this site represent, but they could relate to theindividuals who lived on the property during the 19th century.
The Registrar hereby gives notice of the intention to declare thediscovered site a “burial ground”, and invites representatives of thepersons whose remains may be interred in the burial ground to contactthe Registrar within two weeks after June 23, 2016. The Registrar willrequire documentary evidence that they are related to a person who maybe buried at this site.
If named as a representative by the Registrar, individuals will negotiatea Site Disposition Agreement with the land owner, Westview Star EquityInc., which will set out whether the remains will be removed from theburial ground and re-interred, or if a cemetery will be established on theburial ground. The allocation of the costs of carrying out the agreementwill also be set out in this document, as well as other related matters.Representatives may be asked to share in the costs.

A day at Ansnorveldt’s Spray Lake has become a popular annual outing for the King City Seniors.
Another picnic and get together has been set this year for Aug. 3 at 1 p.m.
It promises to be loads of fun. Hamburgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob and refreshments will be pro-vided for those attending, but par-ticipants are asked to bring their
own lawn chair, sunscreen and sun hat. For those needing transporta-tion, we will meet at the centre at noon.
The cost is $10 per person.Sign-up sheets are now available
at the centre. For more information about the
day at Arsnorveldt’s Spray Lake, contact Marlene Deacon for all que-ries at 905-833-9841.
“It Runs in the Family” will take place on July 27.
This trip includes a step-on guid-ed tour through beautiful Menno-nite countryside as we learn about the Mennonite way of life.
For lunch, we will enjoy a won-derful family-style buffet including soup, salad bar and dessert at the Crossroads Family Restaurant, a favourite stop with our Travel Club regulars.
Then it’s off to the Drayton Fes-tival Theatre to see a production of
It Runs in the Family. It’s a wild and wacky farce about a doctor whose little white lies about his indiscreet past (a son from a secret fling) turn into whoppers as he tries to salvage his reputation. Frantic, funny and completely outrageous, this rib-tickler proves, once and for all, that laughter is the best medicine.
The cost for the excursion is $110 per person.
For all travel information or to book a seat, call Jane Hepworth at 905-833-5870.
Trip helps to educate about Mennonite way of life

NaNcy HopkiNsoNSpecial to the King Connection
Our next meeting is June 27 at 8 p.m. with guest speaker Trish Symmons on “How to prepare designs for showing”.
Doing designs is fun, but there are tricks that we will be able to learn from Trish to make our designs even better. We meet at the Nobleton Community Hall, opposite the Nobleton Feed Mill.
There is also a flower show. Please bring your flowers and/or arrange-
ments between 6:30 pm and 7:15 pm. The exhibits need to be in position before 7:30 p.m. when the judging takes place. Novices are judged separately from the more experi-enced people.
Visit our website www.altflora.com/noble-ton/ (under the June meeting info) to see our show schedule, to see Blair Day, the winner of the 2015 Horticulture Service Certificate and to see last month’s Best In Show Design and Best in Show Cultural exhibit.
For the design called “Summer Fling”, think now about what summer hat you could fill up with flowers and greenery. There are some special hats made for flower arrange-
ments that you could use. You could use any summer hat, but first put a freezer bag inside the head part to hold the wet oasis to prevent spoiling your hat.
Remember that designs should be pro-portional to the size of your container, in this case, the hat. If the hat is 18 inches wide, then your design should be half again as much, so about 27 inches is a good guide.
You might want to consider having the design be a horizontal one to fit the hat if it is arranged horizontally. Planning ahead makes less work to do in the day of and the day before the show.
Be sure to keep a watchful eye on your flowers and veggies to head off an infesta-tion before too much damage is done. If you see some bugs, try getting a container of hot water with dish soap under the affected area and see if you can knock the bugs into the soap mixture. This often works well.
It is always joyful to see lots of flowers at our meeting. Do bring some if you can.
A hard copy of the show schedule is avail-able at the meeting. We invite all to enjoy the refreshments and visit the flower show area at the conclusion of the meeting.
We would love to have you join us.

BY CHRIS [email protected]
ometimes someone is so humble he doesn’t truly realize the legacy he has left within a community.
For decades, Bill Rob-ins cared for much of Newmarket. He was the longtime pharmacist and owner of Main Street’s Robins Pharmacy, who was born in Perth, ON and moved to Newmarket because, after visiting communi-ties throughout southern Ontario, he “thought it was the best place to raise a family”, says his daughter, Anne.
Bill died unexpectedly May 27. He was 90. “He never lost that small town,
personal service,” Anne, who took over the operation of the phar-
macy more than 25 years ago, said while sitting in a café during a lunchbreak in downtown New-market recently.
“He had a great sense of humour and he really was calm-ing. He taught us to treat people fairly. He had resilience; you have to, to make it to 90.”
Anne choked up and a tear rolled down her cheek and she reached for a napkin to wipe it away.
Bill accelerated through school and graduated early from the University of Toronto in 1949, but never liked to talk about his age.
“He started school a year early and they accelerated him; he was really young,” Anne said.
“It was actually very embarrass-ing for him.”
He then split his time working

for pharmacies and being a sales representative for a drug company. He met his wife, Joan, while play-
ing tennis in Toronto. They married and lived in the city for a few years, but Bill claimed he was a small town boy and asked Joan to move to Newmarket.
He purchased the well-known Harvey Lane’s Pharmacy in 1957.
“He travelled all throughout the area and he just loved downtown Newmarket; he liked the doctors in town,” Anne said. “He said it was the best decision he ever made.”
Bill loved cars and the outdoors, especially fishing. He was a family man and an active member of the downtown BIA.
Many local residents also credit Bill with giving them their first job. But he never believed he had an important place in Newmarket his-tory, Anne said.
Anne wants to carry on the legacy of her father. She operates
what may be the oldest continually running pharmacy in York Region. There are antique pill and medi-cine bottles and jars resting on shelves overtop the pharmacy area of the store.
While history and the preserva-tion of Main became important to Bill, he was more than happy to adapt as times changed within his industry. He saw the potential of computers and used them in his store before many other pharma-cies did.
“He always kept up-to-date,” she said. “Our profession changed. Some stores still weren’t computer-ized, but he was 10 years before them. He really enjoyed his profes-sion. He worked for 50 years.”
His wife, Joan, died four years ago. He had three children and four grandchildren.
