ny would be holding a community meeting to address concerns of the public.
While a meeting doesn’t
seem to be in the cards, the
corporation is developing
a virtual video tour of its
Brampton Distribution Centre to show people what the
future site will look like.
“We want to make sure that
residents see for themselves
what a hydrogen production
facility looks like and help
them understand that hydrogen is a safe and environmentally-friendly green fuel that
produces zero emissions that
will soon have a place in our
cars and in our homes,” read
a statement that the corporation emailed to the Citizen
Tuesday. “Through this virtual video tour, we want to give
residents an opportunity to see
for themselves what the Mayor and councillors have seen
when they toured the Brampton facility, and we believe this
will go a long way in providing
accurate information.”

Wade into Check Your Watershed Day 2016 Saturday
Join Credit Valley Conservation (CVC),
Trout Unlimited Canada and Ontario
Streams for the annual Check Your Watershed Day this coming Saturday (July
23) from 1 to 4 p.m.
Citizen science volunteers are needed
to investigate the health of local streams
in the watershed.
Check Your Watershed Day is an annual opportunity for people interested in
the environment to gain hands-on experience and participate in important citizen science research. Volunteers assess
water temperatures and culverts at road
crossings throughout the upper watershed.
“The data collected during this event is
valuable to our work in the watershed,”
said CVC’s Deputy CAO and Director of
Watershed Transformation Mike Puddister. “It gives us a better understanding
of what’s happening in our local watercourses and where we need to direct efforts to protect and manage our valuable
natural resources.”
Since joining the program in 2011,
CVC has conducted more than 440 visits at 300 sites. Data collected helps prioritize restoration projects. It identifies
watercourses and areas where high water temperatures may impact coldwater
fish communities. It provides trend over
time data on water temperature changes
or flows.
Develco Contracting have scheduled a
road closure on Dalton Street in Bolton
to install and commission a water valve
chamber on behalf of the Region of Peel.
The work was to start at noon Monday
(July 18), and is expected to be completed
by 5 p.m. Aug. 8.
There are no addresses affected on Dalton Street as the primary entrance for
residents is on King Street West. The last
accessible address driving southbound on
Sackville Street is 17. Dalton Street will
be closed 40 metres west of Temperance
Street.
If there are any questions, contact Finance and Infrastructure Services at the
Town of Caledon at 905-584-2272, ext.
4328, or email [email protected]

Pre-registration is required. Volunteers will meet at Terra Cotta Conservation Area at 12:45 p.m. to receive training and pick up equipment. Participants
will be put into Stream Teams of two to
four people. Volunteers must have good
mobility. Participants will be asked to
wear rubber boots or hip waders. Some
access points to stream monitoring sites
may be steep or unstable. Stream Teams
will go to assigned sites in Caledon, Erin
and Halton Hills. Certificates will be
awarded to volunteers at the end of the
event.
Participants must be 18 or older, unless accompanied by a parent. Each volunteer group will require a car to access
their assigned sites, as well as a digital
camera and a cell phone.

Education on hydrogen is important
From page A1
Mayor Allan Thompson said Friday he
was aware they were working on the virtual tour. He added to give the public actual
tours of the Brampton facility would not be
possible, owing to possible liability issues.
He agreed too that a meeting is not likely.
“To hold a public information meeting
during the summer vacation is next to impossible,” he observed.
He also said he and Fire Chief David
Forfar toured the Brampton facility, and
he was impressed with what he saw.
“It’s a good thing,” he said. “It’s clean
energy.”
He also said Environment and Climate
Change Minister Glen Murray has said
hydrogen-powered vehicles are the way of
the future.
The important thing, Thompson agreed,
is to educate people. There are many who
hear the word “hydrogen” and think of the
hydrogen bomb.
“It’s not explosive,” he said. “It’s green
energy.”
He also said the process is simple, in-
volving the use of electricity to separate
it from water.
Groves later said the revised site plan
application was submitted sometime in
June, but she didn’t learn of it until later.
She added Town staff told her the application was for a facility for both the production and storage of hydrogen.
“This community feels very strongly
about the production side of it,” Groves
commented, although she pointed out the
corporation is maintaining it’s safe. “They
need to come to the community and tell
us that.”
She recalled the company had promised
to be transparent two years ago. “They
have not been,” she declared, adding they
could have let the public know, or her as
a councillor.
“Educate us,” Groves urged. “Canadian
Tire needs to come out and talk to us.”
“Make us feel comfortable,” she added.
“That’s all I’m asking.”
Thompson couldn’t say if opponents to
the idea will be satisfied by the virtual
tour.
“At least I can’t be accused of not trying,” he said.

Park named after former mayor Beware of Home Inspection Pitfalls
By Bill Rea
Although he no longer lives in Caledon,
there are many in the community who remember John Clarkson.
Many more are going to get the chance
to remember him, as Town council recently agreed to rename a park in SouthFields
Village after Caledon’s second mayor.
The park is currently known as Village
Blue, and is at 415 Dougall Ave.
Clarkson became a Chinguacousy
Township councillor in 1972, and was
elected a member of the first Caledon
council in 1974, representing Ward 2 at
the Regional level. He became mayor in
1976 and served several terms, declining
to seek re-election in 1985. He made an
unsuccessful attempt to return as mayor
in 1988.
The staff report to council stated
that Clarkson was responsible for getting
many of the rural roads in town paved, as
well as developing a Caledon-wide recreation vision.
“The use of his name for a local park
would further commemorate the tremendous leadership he demonstrated while
serving in office, and also his role in the
community,” the report stated.
It added Clarkson’s family was consulted, and they are enthused at the prospect.
Council received a letter from his daughter Sara, writing on behalf of the family.
“This would be a perfect for Dad!” she
wrote.
She said her father grew up on the family fruit farm in Dixie.
“John spent a lot of his childhood skating outdoors in Dixie, where he learned to
skate on the family farm pond,” she stated.
She also wrote that Caledon has been
home for the family for generations. His
mother, Beatrice Wanless, came from a
family farm on Highway 10, just north of
Olde Base Line Road.
“Many of our family roots are in Caledon,” she wrote.
“John worked very hard during his time
with the Town and Region, and was extremely proud of what was accomplished,”
she added.
Clarkson currently lives on Vancouver
Island. Ms. Clarkson, in her letter, stated health issues prevent him from coming
here.
“He talks about getting back here all
the time, because Caledon will always be
his home,” she wrote.
Before You Put Your Dufferin-Peel
Home Up for Sale
DUFFERIN-PEEL - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during
a home inspection when your home is for
sale. A new report has been prepared which
identifies the eleven most common of these
problems, and what you should know about
them before you list your home for sale.
Whether you own an old home or a brand
new one, there are a number of things
that can fall short of requirements during a
home inspection. If not identified and dealt
with, any of these 11 items could cost you
dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s
critical that you read this report before you
list your home. If you wait until the building
inspector flags these issues for you, you will
almost certainly experience costly delays
in the close of your home sale or, worse,
turn prospective buyers away altogether.
In most cases, you can make a reasonable
pre-inspection yourself if you know what
you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re
looking for can help you prevent little
problems from growing into costly and
unmanageable ones.
To help homesellers deal with this issue
before their homes are listed, a free report
entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to
Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved.
To hear a brief recorded message about
how to order your FREE copy of this report
call toll-free 1- 855-217-7810 and enter ID#
209. You can call any time, 24 hours a day,
7 days a week.
Get your free special report NOW to learn
how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t
cost you the sale of your home.

radar enforcement on Creditview Road,
north of Old School Road when he spotted
a black 2013 Mercedes-Benz travelling
at high speed. The officer determined the
speed to be 194 km-h in a posted 80 zone,
or 114 over the limit.
A 38-year-old man from Caledon was
charged with racing a motor vehicle. His
licence was suspended for seven days on
the spot, and the car was impounded for
seven days.
Police say driving 50 or more km-h over
the posted speed limit is one of the most
serious and reckless forms of aggressive
driving. They support street racing/stunt
driving legislation and other legislation
aimed at saving lives and taking drivers
who engage in these high-risk actions off
the road.
A study conducted by Western University and the Ministry of Transportation
revealed that there are approximately 58
per cent fewer speed-related deaths and
injuries a month, particularly for young
males, since the law took effect in 2007.
Brampton man was
charged with impaired
A police investigation into a flipped car
resulted in a 41-year-old Brampton man
facing charges.
Caledon OPP reports they were called
to investigate a rollover collision July 2
on Mayfield Road, east of The Gore Road.
An officer saw a black Honda Civic upside
down in a ditch. Upon speaking to the
driver, the officer noticed the smell of alcohol on his breath.
The man was charged with impaired
driving, driving with more than the legal
limit of alcohol in his system and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
His licence was suspended for 90 days
and the car was impounded for seven.
ate Medical Officer of Health Dr. Lawrence Loh.
This year’s summer has been hotter
than usual, which has resulted in increased mosquito activity. More mosquitoes also increase the possibility of WNV
transmission. While WNV typically is a
mild disease in humans, rare complications can occur. Prevention is the best
defence against contracting illness, so
while Region residents enjoy the summer
outdoors, Peel Public Health encourages
everyone to make sure they protect themselves and their family by using an insect
repellent containing DEET before heading outside.
Residents are asked to help reduce the
mosquito population in Peel by removing
prime breeding sites on their property.
“The most effective way of eliminating
mosquitoes near your home is to remove
items that collect water. Turn over old
tires or wheelbarrows; empty out pails
and plastic wading pools; change the water in your birdbaths often; and put away
toys,” Loh said. “If you happen to notice
standing water on public property, report
it online at peel-bugbite.ca or by calling
Peel Public Health at 905-799-7700.”
Residents can further reduce their potential exposure to West Nile virus by:
• Avoiding areas with high mosquito populations.
• Wearing light-coloured clothing, including long sleeves, pants and a hat, to cover
exposed skin, even in their own backyard.
• Using an insect repellent containing
DEET and applying it according to the
manufacturer’s directions.
• Taking extra precaution from dusk to
dawn when mosquito activity is higher. If
possible, stay indoors.
There have been no confirmed human
cases of WNV in Ontario this season.
For more information about WNV, visit peel-bugbite.ca or call Region of Peel Public Health at 905-799-7700 from 8:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. Caledon residents can call toll free at 905-5842216.
Town lowers flags
in honour of
Patrick Pidgeon
The Town of Caledon will fly the flags
at all Town facilities at half-staff in honour of firefighter Patrick Pidgeon, of the
Loyalist Township Emergency Services,
who lost his life battling an apartment
fire in Amherstview (Kingston).
The 45-year-old husband, father and
Canadian Forces veteran served two
tours of duty in Afghanistan in 2006 and
2010, before returning to firefighting.
The Town extends sincere condolences
to his family, friends and colleagues for
this tragic loss.
The flags will remain lowered until sunset on the day of the funeral, July 23.

COPE CELEBRATES
It was a time to mark a year of achievement recently for the COPE Service Dog program at Humberview Secondary School in Bolton. Students help out in the training of
dogs to assist people with disabilities, meaning they help out with a lot of their care.

Three Peel board students graduate
this year with 100 per cent average
Roland Chou from Mayfield Secondary
School, along with Jessie Dong and Janet Tang from Turner Fenton Secondary
School, achieved the highest averages
within the Peel District School Board for
the 2015-16 academic year.
These students are among the Peel
board’s 4,738 Ontario scholars, students
graduating Grade 12 with an average
of 80 per cent or higher in their top six
Grade 12 courses.
Chou, with the highest average in
Caledon, will attend McMaster University’s bachelor of health sciences honour
program in the fall. For Chou’s secret to
success, he said, “As long as I know that
I’ve done my best, I can be satisfied with
whatever happens afterwards. This mindset helps me accept success or failure and
move on.”
A strong work ethic, staying focused and
being persistent have been Chou’s keys to
success in achieving the highest average.
Dong will be studying human, social
and political sciences at the University of
Cambridge. Dong attributes her success
to self-motivation, great teachers and
support from friends and family.
“Create some space for yourself outside
of school — that means going for a walk,
hanging out with friends, whatever works
for you,” Dong offered as her advice to
next year’s Grade 12 students.
Tang will be studying biomedical sciences at McGill University with a major
in microbiology and immunology, and
plans to attend medical school subsequently. While maintaining strong academics, Tang also plans to become actively involved at McGill.
“I’m not set on a specific career path
because I’m still discovering my passions
and would like to keep an open mind,” she
said.
Both Dong and Tang had the highest
academic averages in Brampton.
Alveena Ahmed from Applewood
Heights Secondary School had one of the
highest academic averages in Mississauga with 99.3 per cent. In the fall, Ahmed
will be attending McMaster University
for life sciences. Ahmed plans to follow
in her parents footsteps and “become a
doctor who contributes continually to the
health and well-being of the community.”
Ahmed attributes her success to conscientious study, a balanced schedule and a
genuine interest in the subject matter.
Last year, there were 4,896 students
on the Ontario Top Scholar list with four
graduates achieving 100 per cent average
at the Peel board.
MAYOR PRESENTS PROCLAMATION
July 11 to 17 was Pride Week in Caledon and saw the Rainbow Flag fly at Town Hall for
the first time. Saturday saw the Pride Picnic at Chinguacousy Park in Brampton, and Mayor Allan Thompson was on hand to present a copy of the Town’s proclamation of the week
to Peel Pride Chairperson Sonya Shorter.

Get wild at the Caledon Public Library this summer
Where do you go when the sun is hot,
the kids are wanting to do something fun
and you’re looking for an economical outing? Your community library, of course.
Caledon Public Library is once again
geared up for a summer full of innovative
programs and lively events for kids of all
ages. The air conditioner is on and the
staff is ready to welcome all to the coolest
place in town.
Teens are looking forward to the library’s fifth annual book war. That’s right
— Battle of the Books is back and they
hope everyone is ready.
The library has selected eight titles
to compete against each other until one
book is left standing. It’s anybody’s guess
which title will ultimately wear the
“BOTB crown.” Teens are invited to read
one, some, or all of the books and vote for
their favourite either online or in person
at any of the seven library branches.
The TD Summer Reading Club encourages kids ages 10 and younger to escape
their everyday, step outside their ordinary and seek the unknown through reading. This year’s theme is Wild, so listen
to the unexplored calling and get wild at
the library with incentives such as stickers and prizes, as well as great programs.
And don’t forget that there is a Summer
Reading Club for tweens, teens and even
adults.
This summer is so wild that the library
is inviting people to go on safari at all seven branches. Caledon Public Library has
adopted Ember the Lynx from the Toronto Zoo and she is playing hide-and-go-seek
with seven of her friends. They’re scattered across Caledon Public Library and
they hope patrons can help find them all.
And that’s not all. Here are just some
of the other library programs happening
during those blissful summer days: Harry
Potter Movie Madness, Discovery Club,
Character Hunt (some more hide-andseek fun), Brain Freeze, Board Games,
Lego and Crafternoons, Building Resiliency for Girls, and Ringtail Ranch and
Rescue, plus so much more. Check out the
latest details about all summer happenings online or in any of our seven branches.
Caledon Public Library’s Click.Create.
Celebrate contest is back with categories for all ages: Short Story, Poetry and
Photography (with three new categories
adult, teen and children). The contest is
open until Sept. 10, with awards being
announced at Alton Mill Oct. 28. The
summer is shorter than you think — start
writing and snapping those pics now.
Last, but by no means least, adults of
all ages are assured of a warm library
welcome at any time of year. Adult book
clubs meet throughout the summer, as
does Knit and Knatter and the Alton and
Margaret Dunn Valleywood chapters of
Writers’ Ink. If it’s assistance with your
iPad or computer, look no further than
the Information Technology Department.
The word is out — Caledon Public Library is the place to be this summer. Stay
cool and check it out!
Under the Maples charity concert attracted crowds

the Fédération Equestre Internationale
(FEI).

field a team of approximately 315 athletes.
“Canada has a long history of equestrian excellence and I am very proud
that these athletes named will be continuing the tradition in Rio,” Rio 2016
Team Canada Chef de Mission Curt
Harnett declared. “The partnership
between athlete and horse is a unique
bond that goes beyond athleticism and
one that is admired by many. I look forward to celebrating the results of their
hard work this summer.”
“Our Canadian Equestrian Team has
worked extremely hard to earn their
berths to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
and achieved remarkable milestones
along the way, from winning Pan Am
medals to breaking Canadian records,”
Equestrian Canada Chief Executive Officer Eva Havaris said. “Our team for
Rio also demonstrates how unique and
extraordinary our sport is. Not only
does equestrian sport display an incredible bond between horse and rider, as
one of the only mixed gender Olympic
sports, it celebrates gender equality. I
know our athletes nominated today will
continue to make Canada proud and I
look forward to celebrating their success in Rio.”
“I am thrilled to be representing Canada in show jumping in Rio,” Foster remarked. “The Olympics are the pinnacle
of sport; for most athletes it starts as a
dream, for the fortunate few it is then a
goal and, for the lucky ones, it becomes
a reality. I feel incredibly privileged
to be one of those lucky ones. A huge
thank you must be given to our incredible horse owners, our tireless support
staff, and the hardworking individuals
at Equestrian Canada who make it all
possible. There may only be five people
named to the Canadian Jumping Team,
but the team that stands behind us consists of so many more. I’m looking forward to doing my very best in Rio and
making Canada proud!”
Prior to being named to the final Canadian Rio 2016 Team, all nominations
are subject to approval by the COC’s
Team Selection Committee following
its receipt of nominations by all National Sport Federations.
Woman arrested for
impaired driving
A 62-year-old Caledon woman is facing charges after a traffic collision in
the area of Valleywood Boulevard and
Royal Valley Drive July 5.
Caledon OPP reports they were called
out to investigate a fail to remain incident.
Following the collision, the suspect
vehicle continued to a nearby address.
Officers went to the address and observed the suspect vehicle, a red Toyota
Corolla, in the driveway.
Upon investigation, it was determined that the driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by
alcohol. The woman was arrested and
charged impaired driving, driving with
more than the legal limit of alcohol in
her system and failing to remain at the
scene of an accident.
Her licence was suspended for 90 days
and the car was impounded for seven.

Lynn Sinclair-Smith wins Scott Award
Headwaters Health Care Centre has announced that Lynn Sinclair-Smith has won
the prestigious Dr. David Scott Award.
Sinclair-Smith has been a familiar face
around Headwaters for 20 years, with leadership of the hospital’s Friendship Gardens
since the facility opened.
The award is named after retired surgeon
and life-long Orangeville resident Dr. David Scott, who came to Orangeville in 1962
as the town’s first specialist (general surgery) and dedicated his life to improving the
health and wellness of the community. The
award is presented annually and recognizes
individuals or groups who have gone above
and beyond to improve overall health and
wellness in Dufferin-Caledon, and promote
links between the hospital and the community.
Sinclair-Smith, who was presented with
the award at Headwaters’ annual general
meeting, is the organizing and fundraising
force behind the Friendship Gardens, which
surround the hospital. Under her strong
leadership and guidance, and with the help
of local volunteers, Sinclair-Smith and her
team care for 10 different gardens with more
than 450 trees. They have also raised over
$200,000 in donations to support their work.
“Lynn’s passion and dedication to creating
and nurturing peaceful, therapeutic gardens
for our patients and families is tremendous,
and is beautifully aligned with the theme
and spirit of the Dr. David Scott Award,” said
incoming Board Chair Louise Kindree. “Her
vision for the Friendship Gardens, along
with her personal commitment and leadership in bringing teams together to support
this work inspires us all. We are thrilled to
recognize her this year.”
BETHELL GETS CONTRIBUTION FROM FINES
There were lots of people who benefited from the Giving to Live event held in June at
Fines Ford Lincoln. Many got the chance to test drive a 2016 Lincoln product, and Lincoln
Canada agreed to donate $50 to a worthy cause for everyone who took advantage of the
offer, up to a maximum of $7,500. In fact, they got 169 to test drive the Lincolns. “We’re
very, very exceedingly proud,” Bob Fines declared. He was joined Friday by Daniela Mosco, business development manager with Lincoln Canada, in presenting the cheque to

Shovels in the ground on expansion at Etobicoke General
William Osler Health System and
Infrastructure Ontario (IO) have announced that Etobicoke Healthcare Partnership (EHP) has signed a fixed price
contract to design, build, finance and
maintain a new four-storey wing at Etobicoke General Hospital.
The announcement means that all contractual steps between EHP and Osler/
IO have been completed. The contract
is valued at $330 million, which reflects
the substantial completion payment and
the monthly service payments before inflation adjustments. Construction on the
new wing was to start immediately, and
is expected to be completed in late 2018.
EHP was one of three short-listed
teams bidding on the project and was
chosen as the “preferred proponent” after an extensive evaluation process led
by IO.
“This is an exciting time — not only for
William Osler Health System, but also
for North Etobicoke and surrounding
areas, commented John Davies, chair of
the Osler Board of Directors. “Etobicoke
General is in the throes of a transformational renovation and expansion to meet
the needs of the growing community.
With the completion of this state-of-theart four-storey wing, we will ensure Etobicoke General Hospital keeps pace with
new technologies, new diagnostic tech-
niques and improvements in care – in
addition to expanding access to the programs and services that are needed most
by patients and families.”
Etobicoke General, which opened in
1972, is undergoing significant revitalization to meet the growing demands of
its community. The new four-storey wing
will add approximately 250,000 square
feet of space to the hospital and house
the services most urgently needed by
the community it serves. Some features
of the project include a larger, state-ofthe-art emergency department, cardiac
care and intensive care units, a maternal
newborn unit with birthing suites and a
specialized nursery, a new ambulatory
procedures unit, and cardiorespiratory
and neurodiagnostic services
“This is an unprecedented time for
health care in this community and something we should all celebrate and feel
great pride in,” said Osler President and
CEO Matthew Anderson. “With this important milestone, we will begin to see
and hear construction activity on the site
very soon and with that, our vision for
the transformation of Etobicoke General
Hospital will come to life before our very
eyes. This is excellent news for our community, and for the staff, physicians and
volunteers who are so committed to this
hospital.”
To prepare the 43-year old building
and systems for the new addition, Osler
is undertaking an Early Works project.
This includes replacing existing chillers,
upgrading the heating plant, upgrading
the normal and emergency power distribution systems, providing structural
modifications to support the mechanical
system upgrades, and providing integrated building systems connections for
the new addition. Osler has also upgraded the hydro lands parking areas to create more parking spaces, improve traffic
flow and enhance safety.
Osler is also planning for the construction of another building on the Etobicoke
General Hospital site. This facility will
house a number of outpatient programs/
services, including a fracture clinic, di-
agnostic imaging, and a satellite dialysis
program. Construction of the new building is anticipated to begin this month.
“When Etobicoke General opened in
1972, it was because people in Etobicoke
wanted — and worked for — exemplary
health care close to where they lived and
worked,” said Osler Foundation President and CEO Ken Mayhew. “Now, with
this transformational expansion, it’s once
again time for the community to reinvest
and build on this legacy of compassion,
through donations, to ensure our families, friends and neighbours have the
space and care they can rely on at Etobicoke General, for generations to come.”

Editorial
Please! No
‘Trumpism’ here!
Sadly, we were in receipt the other day of an emailed letter sent to
Dufferin-Caledon’s MP David Tilson and MPP Sylvia Jones.
Apparently in reaction to the Bastille Day carnage in Nice,
France, in which a large rented truck killed at least 84 men, women
and children on a street where traffic had been prohibited during a
fireworks display, the letter went on to adopt much of the strange
blend of fear and racism that seems might make Donald Trump the
next United States president.
We decided against accepting an offer to publish the letter, preferring instead to let readers know some of its more troubling contents
and to respond to them.
The writer said events in Nice had prompted him to speak, adding,
“I encourage friends, relatives, and all Canadians to do the same.
We have reached the ‘enough-is-enough’ stage. It is no longer satisfactory or acceptable for our prime minister to say ‘Canadians are
shocked’. We are not shocked! Nor are we even surprised by these
ongoing despicable acts. I am sick and tired of consoling words, flower tributes and teddy bear monuments. It is time for action!”
The action would include NATO declaring war on terrorism and
Canada spending more on the military. “I am particularly calling
on Canada to lead, to get tough and eradicate these cowardly ‘religious’ zealots, properly vet new immigrants, especially from Muslim
countries.”
The writer also called for “much stricter monitoring of mosques”
and for “moderate” Islam to speak up: “Why are you so afraid to
confront terrorism IF it is in your midst?”
The CBS news program 60 Minutes Sunday included an interview Lesley Stahl had with Donald Trump and his newly picked
running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence.
During it, Trump said that as president he will “declare war” on
ISIS and get NATO to play a leading role. But he denied that his
“war” would involve sending more than a few U.S. troops, claimed
he had opposed the Iraq war and when told Pence had voted for it,
responded that his running mate was entitled to have made a few
mistakes. (But not Hillary Clinton, who also voted for the invasion.)
As usual, not citing evidence to base his claims, the Republican
candidate attributed the terrorist atrocities in Belgium and France
to a failure of the Obama administration to have enough spies
abroad, saying his “war” would involve sending a lot more agents.
Another Trump route to making “America great again” is to build
walls — a physical one along the border with Mexico and trade walls
under the guise of “free” trade, based on an assumption that relatively tiny neighbours Canada and Mexico out-bargained the U.S.
negotiators.
As we see it, Trumpism already abounds in the U.S. The current
flow of Syrian refugees is barely a trickle, the nation of 320 million having set a target of 10,000 by next September, by which time
the Canadian government and sponsors will likely have brought in
40,000.
The Trump “solution” is to go much further, by cutting off all such
immigration, on grounds some of the refugees might have terrorists
concealed in their midst.
Well, with 30,000 Syrian refugees now in our midst, how many
terrorist acts have we witnessed since our change of government?
To put it another way, is it a coincidence that France, with its law
restricting Muslim costumes, has been hit so hard while Germany,
with 400,000 Syrian-refugee immigrants, has escaped the horrors?
Our prediction: If Donald Trump occupies the White House and
carries out his promises, the U.S. will be targeted even more than
France.
Our Readers Write
A precedent has been set
Regarding the incident reader Brian Perras wrote about (Citizen
July 7): I find the dismissal by the Crown of a serious driving infraction (impaired driving) on the grounds stated, such as a late return
of a turban to the accused, absolutely preposterous.
A precedent has now been set that can be expanded as the need
arises for perhaps robbery, rape or murder.
This really is carrying our much heralded religious freedom way
too far.
People can believe all they want, if they have to, but our laws
should never be trumped by the untimely return of headgear or anything else their religion decrees.
This Justice who made that decision ought to be removed from
the bench.

More regulating?
I don’t think anyone could be blamed for
feeling like we live in an over-regulated
society.
The problem is things are likely to get
a lot worse. The recent terrorist attacks
throughout the world are going to do little
more than make people more suspicious
of each other. I predict there will be calls
for more enforcement of certain regulations, as well as more state-sanctioned
interference with all of our lives.
Alas, until we can find some way to stop
people from driving trucks into crowds,
as what happened last week
in Nice, France, I think all
of us are going to find ourselves living somewhat
more restricted lives.
I once read a theory that
concerns about acts of terror
and trying to keep ahead of
the terrorists could result in
the type of system George
Orwell depicted in Nineteen
Eighty-Four. I doubt things
could ever get that bad, but
unless we find a way to curb
terrorism, I have to wonder
if it could be prevented.
But until we reach that
day, I think it’s important for people to
tell government to mind its place when it
comes to certain regulations.
That’s what went through my head the
other day when I heard that Toronto City
council wants the Province to ban pedestrians from texting or talking on phones
while they walk on the sidewalks.
Fortunately, from what I’ve heard and
read so far, the Provincial government is
not likely to act on that.
While I would oppose measures like
what councillors in Hog Town are trying
to do, I can certainly understand the sentiment behind the effort.
I don’t often get into down town Toronto, although I used to fairly frequently
when I worked in the city some 20 years
ago. Driving, or even walking along the
major thoroughfares, like Yonge Street,
Bay Street, Queen Street or University
Avenue, could be really eye-opening, or
potentially eye-shutting. I thought then,
and still do, that pedestrians pose a most
serious danger in terms of traffic safety.
I would be appalled at what I sometimes saw, especially at rush hour. Masses of pedestrians would stand at the corner, waiting for the lights to change. Once
they got their signal, off they would go.
There were no looks to see if all the traffic
had stopped.
And these were days before social media or texting, so I think it stands to reason that things would get worse.
On the other hand, what ever happened
to the concept of people taking responsibility for themselves?
I mentioned this move on the part of
City council in the office the other day,
and found a lot of agreement for my position among my colleagues.
“If some idiot is texting and smashes
into a wall, then good for him,” one of
them exclaimed, as I rushed for my note
pad to write the words down.
How do you argue with that logic? It
makes sense, especially if we realize it’s
based on simple common sense.
“Look both ways before you cross the
street.”
The was one of the safety rules from Elmer the Safety Elephant in my day. Many
of these people I saw walking carelessly
across busy streets would have had young
children. What would they have said to
them?
The main problem with regulating texting is it restricts what people may or may
not do in a public space. And while the
space is public, the communications that
go on are private, or at least they are until
Big Brother takes over. What right do the
authorities have to regulate when they
can be exchanged? And what is to come
next? Today, we ban texting while walking. When to we ban conversation?
While I had problems when they passed
laws against texting or talking on handheld devices while driving, I agree those
are different circumstances. There is a
difference between texting while walking
down a street and texting while in control of a couple of tons of metal moving at
maybe 30 km-h.
I am very much in favour
of people using their common sense, and have a lot of
problems with people in authority trying to regulate it.
I guess I have the same
problem as many of you. I
don’t text, and I’m not anxious to start. I get so many
emails that I have tons
of trouble keeping up, so
there’s not much point in me
dragging more social media
into it. But I also don’t like
being bossed around. If I
choose not to text, I’m capable of making that decision all by myself. I
don’t neet politicians doing it for me.
But it also appears that sometimes they
get it right. In some cases, they are just
correcting a previous decision that was
just pain dumb.
That same municipal council that is so
anti-texting has at least come to its senses
when it comes to allowing street hockey.
I will grant there are a couple problems
with the activity, but they can be solved.
I was lucky enough to live my formative years on a cul-de-sac in the west end
of Toronto, which is a great place to play
street hockey. I burned off a lot of blubber
that I might have accumulated had I just
been sitting in front of the TV.
True, we made a lot of noise, that occasionally annoyed the neighbours. But
what of it? We were children at play. We
were supposed to make noise. Any adult
or senior who can’t appreciate that evidently missed out on a lot when they were
a kid.
And I guess we were guilty of trespassing the odd time. But it is a fact
that when a player takes a slapshot,
causing a tennis ball to careen of the
goalie’s head and land in a little old lady’s flower bed, someone has to go get
it. We always did try to be carful not to
damage anything.
I was frankly surprised that any politician in Canada would have had the nerve
to try and restrict the playing of street
hockey. The game is really part of the Canadian culture.
During the years when I was working
in Toronto, traffic calming was becoming
a major issue. One of the local councillors prevailed on some of his constituents
to host open houses on the front lawns
Saturday mornings so he could hear public input. As the local scribe, I attended these sessions, which sometimes got
heated.
At one point, the topic of street hockey
came up, with one lout loudly proclaiming
it should be banned, and finding a lot of
opposition to that position.
The highlight of the exchange came
when one man declared it’s every Canadian child’s God-given right to play street
hockey, with Big Mouth getting mad at
him for dragging the Almighty into the
debate.
I forget how that exchange ended. It
was one of those occasions when I witnessed adults not measuring up.
I wonder if they know to look both ways
before crossing the street

Trade agreements help boost Canada’s economy
The government of Canada and
Ukraine held a ceremonial signing of the
Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement
(CUFTA) July 11.
Canada and Ukraine will now proceed
with their respective domestic implementation process in order to bring CUFTA
into force.
I support the Canada-Ukraine Free
Trade Agreement which, it must be remembered, was successfully negotiated
and concluded last summer by the previous Conservative government. CUFTA
will continue to strengthen the Canada-Ukraine partnership in peace and
prosperity. No government has done more
to support Ukraine during its crisis than
the previous Conservative government,
with Prime Minister Harper being the
first G7 leader to visit Ukraine following
the beginning of the crisis and travelled
to Ukraine a total of four times between
2013 and 2015.
The Ukrainian people continue to face
enormous security and economic challenges, and Canada must remain a trusted and steadfast partner during Ukraine’s
time of need, instead of moving to normalize and improve relations with Vladimir
Putin.
Total bilateral merchandise trade between Canada and Ukraine averaged
$289 million in 2011-2015, and is expected to expand by 19 per cent as a result
of the implementation
of this
trade.

and Ukraine will immediately eliminate
duties on 99.9 per cent and 86 per cent of
respective current imports, thereby benefiting both Canadian and Ukrainian exporters and consumers.
Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP)
would increase by $29.2 million under
CUFTA; similarly, Ukraine’s GDP would
expand by $18.6 million. Canada’s exports to Ukraine would increase by $41.2
million. Canada’s export gains would be
broad-based with exports of pork, machinery and equipment, transport equipment,

Politics, as everyone knows, is a dirty
game; one which people enter at their
peril.
Particularly if they are Conservative,
given the overwhelming small “l” liberal
bias of the media.
A case in point: Embattled Senator
Mike Duffy.
During the two years leading up to the
last election, Duffy bashing became a national sport in the media and among both
Liberals and New Democrats.
Other Senators had been accused of inappropriate expenses as well — and have
been since the beginning of time. But it
was Duffy, the former high-profile television journalist, who drew the most focus
and, in the end, likely aided in the defeat
of Stephen Harper.
In the interest of full disclosure, let
it be said that your humble correspondent has known — and liked — Duffy for
about 40 years. Why he accepted a Senate seat — or why anybody actually gets
into politics — remains a mystery to
me, but if you look at the saturation of
media coverage of the Duffy “scandal,”
compared to the actual Mickey Mouse
nature of the charges against him, you
have to assume most of it was personal, aimed at both Duffy and Harper in
equal shares.
Anybody who has the least passing
knowledge of the Senate will know that
the things Duffy was accused of doing, i.e.
politicking for the prime minister who appointed him and bending the rules to suit
his own circumstances, were all things
that pretty well every senator has done
forever.
People made much of the fact that
Duffy was a senator representing Prince
Edward Island, yet everyone knew he
lived in Kanata, a suburb of Ottawa.
This, we’re told, was an ongoing outrage.
Perhaps. But the Senate rules set out in
the Constitution Act only state that to
be eligible a person must own a small
amount of property in the area he was
picked to represent and he or she must
be “resident” of the province, which he
was in the summer. Now you may want
that rule to change — which seems like a
good idea to me — but Duffy was far from
the only senator who “represented” a region of Canada but who actually lived in
and around Ottawa.

and further integration of global supply
chains.
Ratifying the TPP will preserve Canada’s privileged access to our largest
trading partner — the United States —
and strengthens our partnership within
NAFTA. The prospect of Canada being
outside of the TPP while our NAFTA
partners ratify the agreement would
be catastrophic to our economy, global supply chains and lead to job losses.
The TPP agreement will set the rules for
trade within North America and in the
Asia-Pacific region for generations to
come.
One in five jobs in Canada and 60 per
cent of our nation’s GDP is directly linked
to exports. The TPP represents a market
of almost 800 million consumers with a
combined GDP of $29 trillion, which is 35
per cent of global GDP. Canada’s exports
to TPP countries in 2014 accounted for
81.1 per cent of the total value of Canadian exports, totalling $759.4 billion.
The government of Canada consulted
with stakeholders throughout the entire negotiation process, with many organizations opting to sign a non-disclosure agreement for increased access to
the negotiations. No organizations were
prevented from participating in the consultation process. A recent study by the
Fraser Institute said that the TPP could
boost Canadian exports by $15.7 billion
and could increase Canada’s GDP by $9.9
billion.

Mayfield’s top scholar graduated with 100 per cent average
By Bill Rea
It’s not only hard to top the marks Roland Chou
achieved to end his high school career, it’s impossible.
He has graduated with an average of 100 per cent in his
top six Grade 12 courses, making him the top scholar
in the Class of ’16 at Mayfield Secondary School.
The courses he took included advanced functions,
data management, music (saxophone and percussion), music (piano), physics and chemistry. It wasn’t
all perfect, as he received 99 per cent in calculus and
vectors, 98 in biology and 95 in English (he took the
advanced functions and calculus and vectors courses
in Grade 11).
Chou was enrolled in the arts program at Mayfield,
majoring in piano.
“I never really thought about being the top scholar,”
he commented. “I always tried to give my best effort.”
Chou said the secret to academic success was having
a strong work ethic, being organized, staying focused
and being persistent right up until the end.
He also found time for activities away
from the classroom. He did volunteer
work as a counsellor at a summer Bible camp, and
was a swimming instructor at Loafer’s Lake Recreation Centre in Brampton.
Chou is planning to attend McMaster University next
year to study health sciences. He observed it’s a difficult program to get into.
“I feel really lucky to get accepted,” he said. “It’s one
of the hardest undergraduate programs to get into in
Canada.”
“It covers all aspects of health sciences, from biological to social issues,” he added.
Chou sees this program as leading to a career in medicine, possibly as a surgeon or radiologist.
“I’ve always wanted to be a doctor,” he said, “because
it’s a very respectable job.”
Chou also indicated he was grateful for the high
school experience.
“I was very shy going into high school, but being in
the music program helped me open up and be more
sociable,” he said.
He added he’s hoping to get involved in some musical
pursuits at McMaster, and maybe take part in some

sports, as well as find time to volunteer.
And for students who are starting high school, Chou
urges them not to hold back on studying, but also to
be involved in school activities and spend time with

“The high school experience will pass by very quickly,” he said.
Scholar Seewald devotes himself to his school work
Luke Seewald holds some of the awards he received as top
graduating scholar at Robert F. Hall Catholic Secondary School.
By Bill Rea
Luke Seewald said he’s always done
well in school, and he’s hoping that will
continue on university.
He’s off to a good start, having emerged
as the top scholar in the Class of 2016
at Robert F. Hall Catholic Secondary
School in Caledon East.
Seewald, 18, completed his high school
career with a 97 per cent average in his
Grade 12 courses. That included 95 in
physics, 98 in chemistry, 98 in calculus
and vectors, 98 in functions, 95 in English and 98 in religion.
Combining those figures with his Grade
11 marks, Seewald had an average of
96.3 per cent, landing him the Governor
General’s Award in the process.
He said he wasn’t surprised to finish on
top of his class, although he was aware
he had some competition.
“There were some other people who
were pretty close,” he remarked.
He added he was top in his class in
Grade 10, but not the following year,
so he was “pretty happy” with what he
achieved in his final year.
“That was what I was working for,” he
said.
Seewald said his secret for academic
success is pretty simple: “Hard work,
determination and not giving up.”
He added school work has always
been top priority with him, even if that
meant working well into the night. He
also stressed the importance of making
sure he understood the concepts, and
“knowing when to ask for help when
you need it.”
The coming year will see Seewald starting his studies of computer engineering
at the University of Waterloo, although
he’s not sure at this stage what field that
will lead him to.
Seewald was able to find some time for
activities away from the classroom. He
has tried his hand at archery, and is an
assistant coach with he Caledon Soccer
Club.
He also has a summer job this year,
working with the Youth In Policing Initiative with Caledon OPP.
Top scholar at St. Michael loves to learn
By Bill Rea
Bronte Kerrigan has a flair for sciences,
and that’s come in handy.
Among other things, it enabled her to
graduate at the top of her class this year
from St. Michael Catholic Secondary
School in Bolton. Her average coming
out of Grade 12 was 95 per cent.
Most of my courses were science and
math, and that’s what I love,” she said.
She also had plenty of praise for her
teachers, who were able to keep the students engaged.
“They all love what they teach, and they
passed that onto us,” she observed.
Her course load this year included biology, chemistry, calculus, advanced functions, accounting, English and religion.
She had also taken a summer course in
ancient civilizations in Greece last year,
and she emerged from that with a 97 per
cent average.
She said she was a little surprised to
have finished at the top of her class.
“There are a lot of very intelligent people at St. Mike’s,” she declared, adding it
made for some healthy competition.
Kerrigan, 18, said constant effort is part
of the key to her academic success
“I try to do the best I can,” she said.
“School’s always been very important. I
genuinely love learning. There’s just so
much to learn.”
Despite that, she found time for activities outside the classroom, including
some intermural sports. Kerrigan was
also on the student council, and she said
that was a great experience.
“It was definitely the best choice I made,”
she said.
Kerrigan is going to be attending the
University of Guelph next year, planning
to study bio medical science.
“It was actually a tough decision,” she
said, commenting the program at Guelph
is a great one with plenty of options.
“It’s a beautiful campus,” she added.
Kerrigan’s long-range goal is to go to
dental school, and eventually to be an
orthodontist.
“When I had my experience with braces, I thought it was amazing what they
could do,” she commented.
She added it will take some time to reach
that goal, as she will need four years of
undergraduate study, then four years of
dental school and a couple of years of
practice before she can specialize.
For students who are just starting high
school, Kerrigan has some advice.
“Get involved,” she said. “Be excited
about high school. It really does fly by.”
“There’s really something for everyone,”
she added.
She also urged students to listen to the
advice of their teachers.
“They’re definitely a great tool,” she declared, adding a lot of people don’t take
advantage of them.
Bronte Kerrigan has a love of learning that put her at the head of
her graduating class at St. Michael Catholic Secondary School.
Humberview’s top scholar’s always looking to improve
By Bill Rea
Ravish Gupta has found out that things
improve the more he works at them.
That has been demonstrated in his academic record, which saw him coming
out at the top of his graduating class
this year at Humberview Secondary
School in Bolton.
He graduated with a 97.5 per cent average in his top six Grade 12 courses.
He received 95 per cent in physics, 98 in
chemistry, 97 in biology, 99 in advance
functions, 99 in calculus and vectors
and 96 in English. As well, he earned
96 per cent last summer in a course he
took in international business.
These marks represented something of
an improvement over his high school
years. Gupta said he completed Grade
9 with a 92 per cent average. “I kept on
improving from there,” he remarked.
He said he was hopeful that he would
come out on top of his class, but he
wasn’t taking it for granted.
“I don’t think anyone can really expect
it,” he commented, adding he wanted to
improve his performance from last year
in each of his courses. He was also the
top scholar of his class in Grade 11. “I
guess I sort of knew I was up there.”
Gupta said planning ahead has been a
big part of his academic success
“I always plan out ahead,” he said. “I
know some people plan out an entire
day. I plan out for an entire week.”
He also credited his chemistry teacher for advising him to exhaust his own
resources before seeking help. He said
that method was helpful when it came
to retaining the content of the courses.
Another factor was making sure to
avoid distractions when studying. He
recalled he was in the habit in Grade 9
of rewarding himself with 10 minutes
on the internet for every five minutes of
homework he did. That was not a good
procedure.
He also advises students to choose
courses they are passionate about so
they will be motivated.
Away from the classroom, Gupta was
part of the mentorship program for in-
coming students at Humberview.
He was also part of the Me to We
program, and was a math tutor in
Grade 11. As well, he helped deliver the
morning announcements at the school
for one semester.
In addition, Gupta was treasurer of the
Student Activity Council.
Gupta is planning to study health sciences at McMaster University next year.
“It’s a very different learning experience there,” he remarked. “McMaster
University is very much focused on
problem-based learning.”
He added the stress there is more on
working in groups, as opposed to text
books and lectures.
“It’s about how you learn things,” he observed. “Not what you learn.”
Gupta wasn’t sure what field this would
lead him to.
“It really just depends on my experiences there,” he said.
“It’s tough to get into that program,” he
added, “so I’m surprised that I got in.”
The prospect of university makes Gup-

time.” but he added he’s looking forward to the high-calibre programs, noting that working in groups will be a new
experience.

The Bolton Brewers dug themselves
into a very deep hole last Thursday in
their match against the Leaside Leafs,
then almost dug themselves out of it.
It wasn’t to be, however, as the local
Greater Toronto Baseball League team
came out on the wrong side of a 13-12
final.
The Leaside hosts were quick to get
on the board, notching a run in the fist
inning, four more in the second, another two in the fourth and four more in
the fifth. By the time the sixth inning
rolled around, Bolton was down 11-3.
Three base hits in a row allowed designated hitter Eric Cirone to cross the
plate in the fourth, thanks to a bases-loaded RBI from left fielder Brett
Barwick, while shortstop Brett Chater and third baseman Dariu Barlas
both made it home in the fifth, with
RBI assistance from second baseman
Mike Wallace and first baseman John
Hutchinson respectively.
Things were really starting to look
up for the Brewers in the sixth, even
if everyone had to endure a rain delay
of about 10 minutes. Trent Barwick,
who relived Wallace at second, cracked
a double to score centre fielder Brett
Bond, then Barlas connected with a
single that scored Brett Barwick.
Things were even better in the seventh, as the Leafs couldn’t seem to get
anyone out. Greg Keenan and Cirone

By Jake Courtepatte
It’s deja-vu for the Caledon Bandits,
who once again are faced with an early
exit from the Ontario Junior C Lacrosse
League playoffs.
They drew the Fergus Thistles in the
first round after losing their final four
regular season games, and finishing with
a 3-13 record. As the eighth and final seed
in the East division, the Bandits were
matched with a 14-2 Thistles squad that
hadn’t lost in close to a month.
The returning Bandits were quickly
reminded of their 2014 and 2015 playoff
journeys, swept by the Thistles in the
best-of-three first round in both years.
Needless to say, the results were very
similar in 2016.
There were 125 fans who came through
the door of the Mayfield Rec Complex
last Tuesday evening for Game 1, where
the Thistles took it to the Bandits early.
Fergus’s biggest offensive weapon, Hyatt
Welsh, beat goaltender Jordan Roswell
just more than one minute into the game.
Sam McCanna rebounded for the Bandits just less than a minute later, before
three straight Fergus goals. The Thistles
found the back of the net nine times in the
first period.
A final score of 14-8 led to some flared
tempers in the dying minutes, with Alex
Freethy and Austin Heughan both receiving game misconducts for fighting majors.
Colin Sinclair and McCanna both had
good offensive output for the Bandits; McCanna notching three points and Sinclair
four.
With an audience in the triple digits
once again Thursday at the Centre Wellington Sportsplex, the Thistles were able
to take the series in commanding fashion
in front of a home crowd.
The Thistles threw 40 shots at the net
in an eventual 15-6 win, getting ugly
again with the final few minutes lousy
with fighting majors.
Ethan Stannard notched a hat trick for
Caledon, while Andrew Rybka, Brandon
Marion and Sinclair also found twine.
Stannard and Sinclair shared Caledon’s
scoring title through their two playoff
games, with five points apiece.
It’s back to the drawing board for the
Bandits as they look to end a three-year
first round playoff slump.
Meanwhile, the Thistles have already
begun their divisional semifinal match series, taking Game 1 from the Halton Hills
Bulldogs. The Wilmot Wild are facing
the Six Nations Warriors, the Clarington
Shamrox are taking on the Huntsville
Hawks, and the Peterborough Lakers are
facing the Whitby Warriors.

Linda and John Whiteside
from Erin were at the show
with this 1928 Model A,
which they have actually
owned a couple of times.
Bolton area resident Bert Markovic was on hand with his
1959 Ford Skyliner with a retractable top. He said he’s
had it for three years.
There was a wide assortment of Ford products of varying
vintages recently as the Ontario Mustang Club presented an
All Ford Show at Fines Ford Lincoln in Bolton. Proceeds from
the event went to the Hospital for Sick Children.
Vic Lewick of Toronto said this
1958 Edsel Corsair has been around.
It was built in December 1957 and sold to a man
in Saskatchewan who owned it until 1992.
He sold it to a man from Stayner,
and Lewick acquired it about nine years ago.
For all the travelling it’s done,
it only has 39,000 miles on it.
William Horne, 10,
of Acton was showing off
this modified go-cart.
Shawn and Angela Fairbairn of Barrie brought their
2001 Mustang Bullet, which they’ve had for about four
years. It only has about 12,000 kilometres on it.
Jim Thomas of Barrie was showing off his 1986 Mustang
GT, which he’s had for seven years. “When I got it, it
was a mess,” he said. “I’ve done a lot of work on it.”

ORANGEVILLE VOLKSWAGEN
Show, Shine, Cars &Coffee
If you’re an auto enthusiast with a special interest in German
engineering, the Wolfsburg Dub Out 2016 offers the best
show in the region when it comes to Volkswagens, and Audis.
U
p to 150 German engineered car owners are expected to bring their rides to the event which will
be held in the parking lot at Orangeville Volkswagen on Highway 10. This the second annual Dub Out
hosted by Orangeville Volkswagen.
The Dub Out is named after Wolfsburg - a city in Germany which is home to the Volkswagen international
headquarters.
With a trademark that is known around the world,
VW owners are a loyal group that take pride in their vehicles and when it comes to vintage cars, Volkswagens
seem to last forever.
The iconic Volkswagen Bug is probably the most rec-
ognizable Volkswagen product ever built. In fact it’s probably one of the most recognizable automobiles that ever
came off a production line anywhere in the world.
Classic Bug owners love their cars. They are fun to
drive, easy to maintain, and still turn heads when one
is travelling down a highway or city street.
Several of the Bugs that were at the first annual Wolfsburg Dub Out were vintage classics in original condition
and are still on the road.
Mr. Suppa doesn’t just work at an auto dealership, he’s
an active member of an exotic car club with a genuine
interest in automobiles. He has been involved with Volkswagen since age 15 when he began learning as a technician and also worked at a performance shop.
“Our show is all German cars, but mainly Volkswagens and Audis. Bring your Volkswagen, Audi’s,. All German cars are welcome.”
The dealership plans to clear all inventory from the
parking lot and the showroom for the event to allow
plenty of space for the arrival and staging of participating
owners and their cars.
“It’s a ‘Dub’ thing,” Mr. Suppa said, referring to the
vernacular that Volkswagen owners use to describe their
vehicles when shortening the ‘W’ in Volkswagen down
to a single syllable. “Volkswagens are called ‘Dub’s,’ as in
‘Vee-dubs.’ It’s been a Dub thing forever. Owning a Volkswagen is a culture and it’s been like that for a long time.
Volkswagen is one of the original companies to start car
shows. A lot of people like to customize them and others like to keep them as original as possible. Volkswagen
shows are always great gatherings. People get together
and look at other people’s cars and get ideas.”
This event, Mr. Suppa stressed, isn’t about selling cars
- it’s about bringing the community together and sharing
a passion.
“This event is for fun, to get the community together,”
Mr. Suppa explained. “There’s nothing about selling cars
on that day. It’s all about community and having a good
time. You can meet our staff and see that we’re all friendly.
There will be door prizes, a 50/50 draw, and food on site.
We’ll have vendors and a live D.J.”
The entrance fee for the event is a canned food donation which will then be given to the Orangeville Food
Bank.
If you have a German engineered vehicle, polish it up,
wipe the rims, and give the trim a little extra attention for
the show. There will be prizes for vehicles that stand out
or have and added feature that has everyone else taking
note.
Orangeville Volkswagen isn’t your typical VW dealer.
Over the past several years the Orangeville dealership has
been Wolfsburg Champions.
To win this prestigious award, Volkswagen headquarters sets up high level guidelines that must be met.
Receiving the Wolfsburg Championship award means
a dealership has exceeded Volkswagen’s expectations in
customer service and surpassed company expectations in
all departments.
The staff at Orangeville Volkswagen are proud of this
achievement which acknowledges their hard work and
dedication.
The Dub Out will be the largest gathering of German
cars in the region but that doesn’t mean you have to own
one to come out and see the show.
No matter what you drive, if you enjoy fine automobiles this is one show you won’t want to miss.
The Orangeville Volkswagen Wolfsburg Dub Out will
take place on Sunday, August 7, at the dealership location
at 633222 Highway 10.
The event will get underway at 11:00 a.m. and run
through to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.

DAKAR RALLY
tradition drives Toyota forward
Mountain roads at 4,700
metres. Sand dunes in
47-degree scorching heat.
Sharp, tire-piercing rocks,
deep river-crossings and
visibility hindering dust and
rainstorms. Not exactly a
Sunday drive in Caledon.
Yet the engineering that
goes into creating Toyota’s
incredible tradition at the
Dakar Rally is passed down
to production models that
Canadian’s drive everyday.
THE WORLD’S TOUGHEST
The greatest and toughest rally in the world, the
Dakar’s history has been written in the heart of some
of the world’s most stunning deserts and belongs
to the world of the greatest sporting challenges of
our time. Both a motor race and an orienteering
challenge, the Dakar Rally pits some of the world’s
greatest long-distance rally drivers against amateur
competitors for whom the race is often the culmination of their dreams and who come to take up the
challenge with their motorcycles, quad bikes, cars –
and in particular, Toyota trucks. Participants of fifty
nationalities come together every year for the race.
A HUMAN ADVENTURE
Having become an international event, which
gathers together men and women of more than
50 different nationalities, the Dakar draws on a
thirst for interaction and the open-mindedness of
its competitors, who all crave to explore the deserts
of the world and to push themselves to the limit. The
places on the final podium represent an exceptional
challenge, sometimes that of a lifetime. Apart from
the standings, all the competitors are motivated by
this resolute desire, an almost crazy dream to finish
the race. The tradition of solidarity, a principle which
is one of the pillars of the “Dakar Spirit”, stems from
this shared passion.
AN EXTREME COMPETITION
The Dakar is the pinnacle of the motor sports
discipline and inspires adventurers as much now
as it ever has. More than just a simple question of
racing and speed, the Dakar requires off-piste
navigational skills and consistency. In off-road races,
endurance prevails and the slightest mistake costs
dearly. Coping with the living conditions, managing
fatigue, and weighing up the risks of the race can
only be achieved by a combination of peak physical
condition and impeccable technical skills. Over the
past thirty-six years, this combination of physical
rigour and technical performance has appealed to
champions and little known competitors from a wide
variety of backgrounds, all wanting to experience
and make their mark on this extraordinary event.
A TOYOTA TRADITION
Solid reliability. That’s what makes Toyota vehicles
a mainstay of Dakar since the first event held in
1979. Toyota vehicles (Land Cruiser and Hilux) have
become overwhelmingly popular among competitors
as “the most suitable vehicles for completing the
course” due to their robustness, run-through
performance and maintainability.
In the 1st running, only 74 vehicles completed
the course and 13 of them were Toyota vehicles. In
the 24th event (2002), a large proportion of vehicles
completing the race were Toyota vehicles – 44%.
Nearly one out of every two vehicles arriving at the
finish line in Dakar was a Toyota vehicle.
In 2016, Nicolas Gibon (Team Land Cruiser)
won for the third consecutive time in the Production
Category. Toyota Gazoo Racing (South Africa)
finished in 3rd, 5th, and 11th positions.

Silver Willow
It was all about horsepower during the annual Silver Willow Classic
held in Mansfield on Saturday and Sunday,July 9-10. The event is a
fundraiser for Silver Willow Farm Animal Rescue. There was plenty
of classic, vintage, and modifiedcars on display spanning 80 years of
automotive excellence. The classic cars were kept a good distance from
the mud bog were pick-up trucks, four-wheelers, jeeps, and off-road
vehicles attempted to drive through a challenging course of mud and
water. If you were clean when you arrived, chances are you left with a
least a little mud you thanks to tires spinning through the bog and
spraying the crowd. There were no complaints though as that is what
people who enjoy the sport come to expect.

C7
achieves #1 CPO
status in Canada
With all the competition in the automotive market,
having recognition that can set you apart is always a
positive thing for a dealership. Particularly when that
recognition indicates you are the best at what you do.
F
or Orangeville’s Motion Mazda, hard work has
led to just that. As of the end of June, the dealership has achieved the status of #1 Certified
Pre-Owned (CPO) Mazda Dealer for 2016 in Canada. This means they have sold the highest number of
pre-owned Mazda’s in the country, a huge feat when
you take into consideration the fact that there are
Mazda dealers with access to larger lots.
“We provide quality vehicles, certified and backed
by one of the best programs in the business, and carry a great selection,” explained David Seperhi, General Manager of Motion Mazda. “That we are currently the #1 CPO in Canada tells our customers we
have a history of customer satisfaction and success in
the pre-owned market.”
Mazda’s Certified Pre-Owned program promises
customers when they buy a pre-owned Mazda, it will
be just like they are buying a new car.
“When you pick up the car, everything is just
like new,” explained Mr. Sepehri. “They are
completely cleaned, inspected, and every vehicle
receives the same full treatment. Customers also
receive a warranty package that covers them across
North America.”
The program assures anyone interested in
buying a pre-owned Mazda their car will have
received a complete head-to-toe review. They
guarantee each vehicle will go through the seven
value-adding steps of the program prior to hitting
the market, adding a monetary value of approximately $4143 to each vehicle.
A breakdown of these steps includes:
• Secure: 160-Point Detailed Inspection
($880 value)
• Protected: 7-year/140,000 km
Limited Powertrain Warranty ($1400 value)
• Safe: 24-hour Emergency
Roadside Assistance ($572 value)
• Economical: Special Finance Rates
($1121 value)
• Confident: CarProof Vehicle
History Report ($70 value)
• Hassle-free: 30-day/3000 km
Exchange Privilege (Peace-of-Mind value)
At any given time, Motion Mazda has approximately 90-100 pre-owned vehicles on the lot, and being part of the Performance Auto Group, they have
access to a variety of makes and models to meet the
needs of their client base.
“Being part of the Performance Auto Group
means we are connected with over 30 dealerships
across Southern Ontario,” said Mr. Sepehri. “This
provides us with the ability to access a much larger
inventory of used vehicles.”
The industry leading program developed by Mazda Canada has put them at the forefront of the used
vehicle market, with their Certified Pre-Owned program being ranked as the next best program following the luxury automotive markets.
The success of Motion Mazda with their CPO
program has been immense. In just three years, they
climbed the ranks, landing as third in Canada for
2014 and 2015, and taking the leap to first this year.
“Our staff are really proud to work for the #1 CPO
in Canada,” said Mr. Sepehri. “We have the best
bunch of people working here; everyone is friendly
and professional, and that has definitely helped us
reach this goal.”
A big part of the dealership’s success with their
CPO program comes back to being a member of the
Performance Auto Group, because it is part of such a
large network with more vehicles. The more successful the program is, the more it allows them to be able
to give an increased value to their customers.
“With a successful program, it gives us the capability to accept more trade-ins from customers, and
provide them with a higher value for those trades,”
added Mr. Sepehri.
It would seem customers have been responding
positively to the work Motion Mazda has been doing. Along with receiving an above average score in
Ontario with their customer satisfaction surveys,
the dealership also has a 4.7 star ranking through
Google Reviews.
“It’s just a really exciting time to be a part of Motion Mazda,” said Mr. Sepehri. “If someone is thinking of getting a new or used vehicle, we encourage
them to check us out and see what we are doing for
themselves.”
Motion Mazda is located at the corner of Highway 9 and 2nd Line East in Orangeville. Visit them
in person or check out their website at www.motionmazda.ca for more information.
