A Canadian High School in Switzerland Every September, teenagers from across Canada choose to step outside of their comfort zones at NJC. While studying Canadian Grade 12 and AP curriculum from their new home in Switzerland, they explore a dozen countries, ski the Alps, debate in the Model UN, pause in Flanders Fields, network at the Canada-Swiss Chamber of Commerce, cycle through vineyards and play hockey at the base of the Matterhorn. Academic preparedness, international exposure and guidance expertise lead to acceptances from the finest universities across Canada and abroad. New independence within a small school community enables them to understand who they are and realize how their passions and talents will one day contribute on a global scale.

Letter to the Editor Offer your input into new park!

I am writing to invite and urge King residents, particularly those near Noble- ton, to make their views known on the proposed options for the design and name of the new park in Nobleton. Now is the time to choose the design for what will be the largest park in King Township. Many citizens have already contributed ideas for elements that they would like to see included. Staff has taken these ideas and shared them with the contracted company that has now created 4 options. Playgrounds for all ages (toddler to seniors), bike and skateboard areas, trails, benches, a soccer fi eld, a splash pad, shade struc- tures, fi tness equipment and natural areas etc could all be incorporated. Community members indicated that accessibility and natural playground el- ements are important to them. Do you want an off-leash, fenced dog park and, if so, are you willing to be part of a user group that oversees the use and mainte- nance of such a feature? What should this new addition to our community be named? The Metrus ref- erence is not the name, it is simply the present, legal designation for a portion of the land. The park is for use by all of the King community. Should we name it after a village founder who spent many years creating No- bleton? Would Budweth Park be an appropriate name? What other community founders or history should be highlighted? Should we have a sign in the toddler area of the playground in memory of any number of young people lost under tragic circumstances as some of us suggest? Is the name of one of the original sports teams in the village a possibility? What would you like to name the new park? Please come to the public open house Feb. 4 at the Nobleton arena at 7 p.m. to learn about the various proposals and to make your wishes known. This is your opportunity to help create an imaginative, fun, beautiful and lasting addition to Nobleton! For more information call the Parks, Recreation and Culture Depart- ment at 905-833-5321.

The King Chamber of Commerce will expand its reach and personal touch in 2015. As the Chamber meets the new year head-on, a new slate of officers will fight the good fight and build on past success- es. The Chamber held its AGM and mem- ber appreciation evening last week at the Holland Marsh Wineries, building on its enthusiasm and welcoming its new team. Returning to lead the organization this year are Tom Allen, Robin Priestly, Kelly Foley and Rose Dondaro. Allen said the appreciation evening was a fun way to start the new term, building on the momentum from the highly successful Christmas lunch and toy drive. This year, the Chamber will offer spring and fall health and safety ses- sions, something that proved very suc- cessful last year. The main thrust this year is to offer a more personal touch and reach out to local business people. The Chamber plans to strengthen good, personal con- nections with all members. The volun- teer board members feel very strongly about serving the community and local business interests. Allen said they enjoy a good, co-op- erative relationship with the Township and that will continue.

King Township staff were top municipal supporters in their category, receiveing an award from York United Way. King named top municipal fundraiser

By Mark Pavilons

King Township has a big heart. It was demonstrated last year as King received the title of top Municipal Chal- lenge money-earner in the 1-299 employee category for York Region United Way. “I’m extremely proud of our staff,” said Mayor Steve Pellegrini. He pointed out King’s commitment to the United Way is relatively new, starting only four years ago. Since that time, the Township’s efforts have grown exponen- tially and “shot up year after year.” “I believe it’s important to give back to the community,” Pellegrini said, adding the United Way helps in so many ways, especially areas where the municipality can’t. This past year, the Township’s efforts supported more than 140 families through the “In Every Neighborhood” campaign. Another $10,194.30 was also donated by King Township to United Way to help their cause. In 2013, King Township raised $8,820 from events put on in the community.

Schomberg atom reps earned a 5-0 shutout win over Newcastle in their opener. Schomberg atom reps start the playo s with a shutout victory By Ray Tribe

In an exciting series opener on Jan. 25, the Schomberg atom rep team started their playoff series against Newcastle Stars with a 5-0 win. Parents, grandparents, and siblings of the players came out with cowbells in hand and fi lling the Schomberg Trisan Centre with cheering usually saved for the Stanley Cup fi nals. In true goalie style, Rory “Tiger” Edwards rallied the team to another shutout and demonstrated what earned her the record as the least scored against goalie the entire season letting in only 40 goals in 30 games. The fi rst period was dominated by the shooting barrage of both Chase “Nash” Coughlan and Daniel “DK” Kloepfer. These wingers set the tone for a game of rapid shooting and slap shots that Newcastle was not able to respond to. The right wingers started the scoring fi rst with a Max “Rocky” Monopoli snapshot and later Stefano “Turbo” Ciotti picking a top corner. Defensive rushes came with Cole “Torpedo” Budweth rocketing down the right wing before collapsing the Newcas- tle defense together into their own crease. Fisher “Fish” Richardson followed with his own defensive rush and another puck in the net. The control of the Schomberg defensive zone with heads-up play and passing ac- curacy by defencemen Nathaniel “Nat” Vitale and Lucas “LT” Tribe enabled goals in quick succession by centre Jack “Ripper” Piper and then left winger Tristan “Triscuit” Degli-Angli. The third period was controlled by left winger Anders “Vanders” VanEnckenvort and captain Braedon “Wheels” Connor, who dazzled the fans with their lightning acceleration and hard carving style of skating. The Newcastle Stars are to be congratulated for their excellent sportsmanship and never quit determination throughout the game. Both teams made it a match up of Your Local Auto Source for hockey ability and endurance which will be brought to bear at the second game in the Hometown Auto Related Stories and News... best-of-fi ve series at Newcastle this coming Saturday, Jan. 31.
