JOHN SLYKHUIS | 1949-2016

By Heidi [email protected]

Former Georgina Advocate editor John Slykhuis left a lasting impression on his newspaper pages, legacy to

his craft and community, and indel-ible mark in the hearts of family and friends.

The 66-year-old Sutton resident, father of two and award-winning journalist who died of his injuries after a collision with a car while cycling on Black River Road in Sut-ton July 6, is being remembered by many for his rapier and satiric wit, encyclopedic mind, journalistic integrity, love of life and family, and no-nonsense attitude.

His daughter, Erynn, chuckled softly as she agreed her dad could be loud and forceful with his pas-sions and opinions when it came to his work.

”His convictions were unwaver-ing, but, behind the scenes, he had a quiet dignity; a loyal and loving spirit that will never be forgotten and will be forever missed,” she said.

A man who downplayed any act of charity he performed or any award he won as much as he wore his love of soccer and his beloved Dutch national team on an orange sleeve, Slykhuis had a huge heart and cared deeply not only about his family and friends, but also his community.

“He was the most open, honest, caring person I have ever known,” Advocate photographer and good friend of 22 years Susie Kockersc-heidt said. “John Slykhuis was salt of the earth. Our hearts are bleeding now.”

W h i l e Erynn knew her dad found volunteering at the Georgi-na Food Pan-try to be very rewarding, she said she only just recently learned from one of her aunts about one of many acts of kindness that her dad left character-istically unmentioned.

A few years ago, her aunt asked Slykhuis if he knew of a community service that delivered Christmas cheer baskets, since she knew of a

family in Georgina that had been going through a hard time due to illnesses in the family.

She didn’t realize that when he said he would take care of it, that he meant it literally.

“My aunt later found out that my dad went to the home laden with baskets of food, clothing and toys that he purchased out of his own

pocket,” Erynn said. “The family never knew who helped them that year, as my dad never took any credit. He never bragged. If he saw some-one in need,

he would just quietly do what he could.”

Many this week paid tribute to the warmth, compassion and integ-rity of a man who welcomed a heat-ed discussion as much as he offered a generous, giving hand of help, who would watch every game of the

World Cup of soccer at some point, but always tune in to watch the Dutch team live (even if it played in the middle of the night) decked out in full Dutch orange jersey, hat and scarf, whose passion and inquisi-tive nature included all aspects of life and all media, and who loved a good book as much as the records in his extensive collections of both.

“He was the one who introduced me to classic 1950s MGM musi-

cals and my brother, Damien, to epic historical movies,” explained Erynn, adding her dad was a big fan of British comedies and he took great pride in the fact he extolled the virtues of Game of Thrones several years before it became massively popular.

Always reading newspapers and magazines, listening to talk radio and/or keeping an eye on a news channel on his television in the background, Slykhuis remained a community newspaper man at heart, turning down an offer sev-eral years ago of a reporting job at a major Toronto newspaper.

Incredulous that her dad had “turned them down flat” despite the fact the job would have meant more money and prestige, Erynn said he loved what he was doing.

“He loved being the editor, the one calling the shots. Even if it was a small newspaper, he felt like he would be doing more and could contribute more that way.”

Often raising public ire as well

as consciousness during his long career, Slykhuis boldly went where many other editors feared to tread, garnering respect even from those who were often centred in his jour-nalistic crosshairs.

“He was honest to a T and he was the type of man that would tell you his opinion to your face,” said former Georgina mayor Rob Grossi, whose politics and positions were often at the centre of Slykhuis’ political commentary in the pages of The Advocate.

“Let me tell you, he was critical of me many times, but I always had great respect for the man, his thor-oughness and quality when it came to his work, and for who he was as man. He was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.”

The six-foot, three-inch silver-haired man could strike an impos-ing figure both in person and in print, but the polished and poised persona known to many Geor-gina residents was a far cry from the young, yet passionate, poofy-haired, lanky young 20-something who started his career in Bradford under The Topic banner.

“John Slykhuis was a character, always his own man, and always a dedicated journalist,” praised Marney Beck, editor of the Rich-mond Hill Liberal, who worked with Slykhuis at the Topic Newsmagazine in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Beck remembers Slykhuis as a patient teacher and positive role model when she was just a rookie reporter learning the ropes.

“He had a gruff exterior, want-ing to project the image of a hard-edged newsman, but he had a big, compassionate heart,” she said. “He often offered biting, sarcastic com-ments, but he could be counted on to express the truth of situations even when others were reluctant to do so – especially in his writing.”

Slykhuis is survived by his chil-dren Erynn and Damien, mother Mary and siblings Reneka, Peggy, Trish, Martin and Ron.

He is predeceased by his dad, John Sr., brother Jeff and his darling wife Jill.

❚ A celebration of John Slykhuis’ life will be held Saturday, July 16 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Skwarchuk Funeral Home (1-800-209-4803), 30 Simcoe Rd., Bradford.

‘He was honest to a T’Family, community, former colleagues mourn death of John Slykhuis

higher rates of developing dementiaThe results of a 25 year study* have found that wearing hearing aids stimulates thebrain and is important for improved communication and socialization resulting in ahealthier brain.

*Amieve, et al. Journal of the American Geriatric Society,Vol 63, Issue 10, Oct 2015

The newly released OPN hearing aid circuit has been shown to dramatically improvehow people hear and remember! It is the first hearing aid designed to assist thebrain with understanding. Studies show that the OPN provides:30% better speech understanding (even in very noisy environments)20% less listening effort (reducing the load on the brain in noisy places)20% more capacity to remember (freeing up mental resourcesto recall more without asking for repetition)

HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING

Last September, I pub-lished a column about the traffic issues we face

in town and across our region. I wrote about the impera-tive need to get the Highway 400/404 Link back on track. I also praised the province for its investments in all-day, fre-quent GO train service.

This July, there has been promising behind-the-scenes action on both important projects.

Last fall, I was pleased to convene a meeting with all our local mayors. In Febru-ary, our group went down to Queen’s Park to advocate for the Link. The fact so many mayors from our area spoke with Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca for an hour was impressive — a show of unity and resolve for this critical transportation project. More recently, Deputy Mayor James Leduc and Councillor Raj Sandhu had a conversa-tion with the minister at an event in East Gwillimbury.

And last week, I was glad to host representatives from neighbouring municipali-ties, including the chair of York Region and the warden of Simcoe County, as well as senior staff to have a follow-up conversation about our efforts. We had a two-hour discussion about how we will continue to advocate for the Link to the province.

I continue to believe we need this Link, and the unity and focus we have brought to the conversation by bring-

ing local mayors together is a critical means to help make our case to the province. In September, the province will publish an updated growth plan and we are working hard to ensure the Link is included in those plans.

The Link will certainly alleviate traffic backups in Bradford and would help the travel of commuters, trucks and cottagers heading east to west to get north to Innisfil, Barrie, Alliston and Muskoka. It would also help alleviate traffic in King Township, New-market and East Gwillimbury, helping commuters get home faster and ensuring our farm-ers and businesses can move their goods.

The amazing thing is that York Region and Simcoe County’s combined popula-tion will be the size of Toron-to’s by 2041, so we need to get the infrastructure in place to prepare for that increase now. If we don’t build the Link and related transportation infra-structure, our quality of life, traffic gridlock and econom-ic vitality will suffer, even as

environment-harming emis-sions from cars stuck in traffic continues.

As we are pushing the prov-ince to put the Link back on the front burner, I also want to praise the provincial gov-ernment for its ongoing work to bring all-day, frequent GO train service across the Great-er Toronto Area. The province announced three new stations will be built on the Barrie line, including one in Innisfil, which will help reduce the demand on our station in Bradford. There was also recently an informational meeting at the community centre by the pro-vincial transportation agency, Metrolinx.

The government has pledged to move towards GO train service north and south every 15 minutes between Toronto and Aurora, and every half hour between Aurora and Barrie (this is due to the many train track crossings between Aurora and Bradford, some-thing that can be addressed over time to further increase service in our area). This is the type of service — called Regional Express Rail or RER — that exists in other juris-dictions. It’s very exciting, and cannot come soon enough.

So, even as we push the province to build the Hwy. 400/404 Link on the one hand, I am grateful for their efforts to improve GO train service, as well as GO buses and other local investments in roads, bridges, the new interchange and transit.

Mayor’s Column

Bradford West Gwillimbury looks forward to the Link

On Sunday, South Simcoe Police patrol officers in Innisfil and Bradford set up RIDE programs to check drivers for sobriety.

Officers stopped approximately 100 cars in the early morning hours and are pleased to report that no driver was given a roadside test.

Officers will be setting up random RIDE programs throughout both communities at all hours of the day and night to detect those drivers that still get behind the wheel after drinking.

Police would once again like to remind drivers to think twice before drinking and getting into a vehicle.

■ EDITORIAL COLUMN

Byelection a must this early in termewmarket council has a big decision to make July 25 as it deals with how best to fill the Ward

5 council seat left vacant by the sudden resignation of long-time Councillor Joe Sponga.

It shouldn’t even be a discus-sion.

We’re not trying to sound glib. Rather, we’re arguing the process for filling a council seat vacated partway through a term shouldn’t be up to a municipal council at all.

There are rules in place dic-tating that a byelection must be held in any given riding when an MPP or MP resigns his or her seat, so why should municipal councils even possess the option of appointing someone to fill a vacancy? It has often been stated that municipal governance is the level most accessible to the pub-lic and one could make the case it is the tier that has the most direct impact on the average citizen’s daily life.

Fortunately, Newmarket Mayor Tony Van Bynen has voiced his support for a byelec-tion. Regional Councillor John Taylor has also come out on record to say he, too, supports filling the council vacancy demo-cratically rather than by appoint-ment.

“It’s very rare you have an appointment under a vacancy unless there’s less than a year left in the term,” he said. “The public has a democratic right to choose their representative. I lean strong-ly toward a byelection. There’s a lot of important issues here and knowing that person was duly elected when they vote on an important issue is important.”

We agree.A recent review of the Munici-

pal Elections Act resulted in changes such as allowing the introduction of ranked ballots and a ban on corporate and union donations to campaigns. Perhaps the provincial govern-ment should go a step further and make byelections mandatory at the municipal level unless a vacancy occurs within the last 12 months of a term.

Regardless if that happens, Newmarket council would do its citizens a disservice if it were to appoint someone with more than two years remaining in this coun-cil term.

Some may say that filling a vacancy through an appointment is a cost-effective way to deal with a resignation. A recent by election in Barrie’s Ward 7 reportedly rang in at more than $40,000 — not an insignificant figure — but how much is the integrity of local democracy worth?

N

“Mankind will not survive the honeybees’ loss for more than five years.” – Albert

EinsteinIt’s an issue few people know about, but

it’s just as important to our future in many ways as climate change: the fate of the hum-ble honeybee, pollinator of fruits and veg-etables and provider of life.

Did you know pollina-tors are responsible for over 75 per cent of the food eaten on the planet?

Think about what would happen if they went extinct.

How would we survive?That’s why reports of

massive bee loss – like Sha-ron beekeeper James Mur-ray’s one million-plus dead bees – is so upsetting. As reported by York Region Media Group’s Simon Martin last week, Murray is concerned about the effect neoni-cotinoids (a type of pesticide) are having on his bees. He is hoping that a provincial gov-ernment-instituted ban will have a positive impact on his hives. But he’s out thousands of dollars. It wasn’t just a matter of money for Murray. The bee deaths really hurt.

“It was horrible, I cried,” Murray said.Martin reported that bee loss across

Ontario reached 58 per cent in the winter of 2013-14. Another local bee farmer, Andre Flys of Nobleton, was stung when his total number of hives was cut from 500 to 200. He suffered a 70 per cent bee loss in 2013 then another 50 per cent loss in 2014.

Something is clearly wrong.

“We are at our wit’s end and we don’t know how to continue,” Flys told Martin.

With neonics as they’re known being reduced by 80 per cent by July 1, 2017 in crop use, the hope is that they can be ruled out as a cause of bee deaths. There are still concerns over the varroa mite as a cause of bee mortality or other pesticide and cli-

mate factors. More studies are being done and more information is always being gathered.

The European Union is currently undergoing a full two-year ban on the use of neonics and it’s hoped we can learn a lot from what they are going through.

If bee losses are closely tied to the use of nenonics, as many believe they are, the European process will pro-

vide the data needed to prove it. If bee losses are still profound even after neonics have been eliminated for several years, then the factors could live elsewhere.

What is clear is that all parties, the gov-ernment, farmers, honeybee owners and especially the public, have a clear and vital interest in making sure honeybees survive and thrive.

We have a growing population that will only continue to require more and more pollination in the future. We can’t afford to let our bees die.

The third annual Tayah’s Birth-day Wishes to Heaven fundraiser at Canadian Tire in Bradford has raised approximately $16,000 for three young deserving children.

The July 10 event featured an array of fun activities including a bouncy castle, raffle prizes, silent auction, face painting, a barbecue, live entertainment, a massive com-munity garage sale, a visit from BWG firefighters and even some Disney princesses.

The most special part of all, how-ever, may have been the balloon release, where visitors, family and friends wrote birthday messages to Tayah Fairbrother – a Bradford girl who passed away from cancer in December 2013 at the age of five.

“It was such a phenomenal day. I know Tayah would have been smiling down on all of us,” said her mother, Candice Fairbrother.

“It feels so good when you know you’ve worked so hard for months to raise money for some wonder-ful children and their families who need it most.”

Since the passing of Tayah, the Fairbrother family has made it its mission to host the birthday event, which is generally held as close to

Tayah’s July 13 birth date as possible, to raise funds for local children bat-tling cancer.

This year, the $16,000 will be split equally between the families of Boglarka Kiraly, 3, of Tottenham, Dominika Gray-Stepczynski, 2, of Bradford and Lukas Iannacchino, 5, of Bradford. Boglarka, better known as Bogie, is suffering from Stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma, while Dominika is battling anaplastic ependymoma and Lukas is fight-ing T-cell acute lymphoblastic leu-kemia.

“It was amazing seeing how many people came and this year, it was even bigger than last year’s event,” said Fairbrother.

“We have walked the walk so we know how hard it is and how stressful it is for these families. We just want to do whatever we can to help.”

Anyone wishing to learn more about the families being helped or to make a donation can visit the “Together for Tayah” page on Face-book, set up by Fairbrother and her family.


Keep those taps dry as long as you can, suggests the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority.

While hot and dry weather con-tinues, the LSRCA is recommend-ing that businesses and residents reduce their water consumption.

“Low rainfall since mid-April has contributed to drought con-ditions, which can put stress on municipal water supplies,” said Tom Hogenbirk, manager of engi-neering at the LSRCA.

“While we did see some rain in parts of the watershed this past weekend, it wasn’t enough to counter the effects of the hot, dry weather over the last couple months. Until we see enough rain to bring us out of the early drought stage, we’re encouraging all water users to conserve.”

According to the provincial Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s low water response pro-gram, existing conditions in the

watershed meet the first level of low water conditions.

Unfortunately, this indicates a potential water supply problem, resulting in the LSRCA’s announce-ment. Residents and business owners should ensure they are fol-lowing municipal outdoor water use bylaws, which limit watering to specific days and times.

Other water conservation infor-mation can be found by visiting www.townofbwg.com or by visit-ing resources on Ontario Ministry websites such as Natural Resourc-es and Forestry, Environment and Climate Change, Agriculture and Food and Rural Affairs.

Once again, the Mayor and Council Golf Classic saw a sold-out crowd on July 7 at The Highland’s Golf Club in Bradford.

The hot summer day welcomed hundreds of golfers in support of the Council Community Initiatives Fund, created to financially assist local organizations whose purpose is to increase the community’s qual-ity of life.

Mayor Rob Keffer says he was thrilled with the day’s turnout.

“It was a great success, being sold out and even having a waiting list. I would like to thank all sponsors and golfers for making it a great day.”

Keffer says once everything is finalized and the numbers tallied, the event is expected to have raised nearly $30,000 for the CCIF.

The community-driven event has become one of the most pop-ular tournaments of the year and includes an early breakfast, 18 holes of golf, dinner and a large variety of locally donated prizes and give-aways.

Portugal Party!

Staff photo/Brea Bartholet

It was all or nothing. During the last few minutes of the Euro Cup finals between Portugal and France, Portugal supporters in Bradford anxiously awaited to celebrate their team’s championship win. Ultimately, Bradford’s downtown core lit up with honking horns, cheers and hundreds of Portuguese flags as Portugal supporters in the community took to the streets. Despite being down their best player, Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal was able to keep France scoreless to secure a 1-0 lead to take home the title. South Simcoe Police officers stood at the ready as fans began to flood the main four corners – prompting the police to shut down Holland Street West from Simcoe Road to Toronto Street for more than an hour.

Residents were in for some strange summer weather as unusu-ally large hailstones poured down last Friday.

With a severe thunderstorm warning in effect, Environment Canada was calling for hail three-to-four centimetres in diameter, or “ping-pong sized” hail. Around 8 p.m., a large and aggressive storm hit the area – severely damaging crops within the Holland Marsh.

Some residents posting pho-tos to social media compared the hail to golf balls or toonies. Heavy rain also came with the storm. There were also multiple reports of cracked windshields and dented cars, but the extent of the storm’s damage seems to have hit farmers the hardest.

Jody Mott, executive director of the Holland Marsh Growers’ Asso-ciation, says upward of 20 farmers have experienced severe damage to their land, the equivalent of about 2,000 acres.

“Multiple acres of onions, car-rots and lettuce have been shred-ded,” she explained.

“Our guys have gone from deal-ing with extreme drought to flood-ed and destroyed land. Some were up to their ankles in water.”

Mott says she isn’t sure whether the affected farms will be able to recover from such damage. The storm’s timing was especially upsetting, as some of the grown lettuce was supposed to have been harvested that Saturday morning.

When asked what the damage will cost farmers, Mott says a price

tag can’t be calculated.“This is going to affect each

farmer very differently and I can’t speak for each of them. It’s really going to depend on whether or not they can salvage anything or if they choose to re-seed.”

Herman Gasko agreed, as he stood staring out into one of his damaged onion fields. Most of his 30 acres of crop, which included a large amount of both red and yel-low onions, cannot be saved.

He plans on disking what remains in a portion of his fields to make way for carrot seeds. As it is already so late into farming sea-son, Gasko says the carrots will not be ready until the end of October or beginning of November.

“We will go well into frost sea-son, so I really don’t know what will come out of it. Costly is how I would describe all of this, in one word. This season is proving to be a challenge.”

And a challenge it has certainly been. Farmers within the marsh have already endured two major

windstorms, a drought and now a major hailstorm. Gasko and many of his neighbours were forced to re-seed crops due to the windstorms over the last couple of months, only to lose a majority of them Friday night.

Now, the future of the season is uncertain. Farmers with crop insurance will do their best to ensure that whatever can be saved will be saved, though Mott says only a handful have that security blanket.

Farmers have been using an Epson salt spray to attempt to heal vegetables as quickly as possible to gain a better idea as to what can be salvaged.

Avia Eek, a councillor with King Township and a Holland Marsh farmer, says Friday’s storm eerily resembles the destructive path of a tornado that hit the marsh in May of 1985.

The exception with this situ-ation, she says, is that it was not buildings that have sustained the damage; instead financial losses

will be incurred by farmers whose crops were mowed down like grass.

“Our farmers have been work-ing 19 hours a day irrigating for weeks now trying to keep what was seeded growing, in order to have a marketable crop. After talking with the farmers I have, it’s clear many have come to terms with the dam-age and the loss.”

Eek says her family farm along Strawberry Lane and Aileen Ave-nue narrowly missed the storm’s damaging path, though the large amount of rain and upcoming heat wave will likely diminish their own onion crop.

Though the marsh provides 75 per cent of Ontario’s vegetables and 65 per cent of Canada’s, it is unlikely that consumers will see an impact on prices due to the storm.

“Unfortunately the heavy costs will all come down on us,” said Gasko. “Farmers always take the hit.”

By KIM [email protected]

hey say food is love, and for 27 years, Tony and Rachel Chiovitti served up both at their ma and pa shop, Multi Pasta, in

Richmond Hill.Tony Chiovitti was the “front

man” for the popular establish-ment, attracting customers and friends alike with his corny jokes and warm welcome for all.

Tony passed away in May at the age of 63, leaving many in the community shocked and mourn-ing a man they say had a heart of gold.

“He was a true gem,” recalls longtime customer Mark Augus-tin. “He cared deeply for his fam-ily and his friends and he will be missed.”

Tony came to Canada from Italy at the age of seven with his grandparents and eventually settled in Woodbridge.

It was at a wedding in New York that he first met Rachel.

They courted by letter for a year and in 1989, the young couple purchased the shop on Oxford Street, south of Yonge and Elgin Mills.

Tony set the friendly tone, greeting customers by name, remembering their favourite dishes and details about their families.

Word spread about their fresh, homemade food, but what drew people back, and encouraged them to stay and chat, was Tony’s gift of the gab.

“He had a natural gift that way,” says his daughter, Sandra,

Tony Chiovitti served up pasta, humour and love

Tdescribing how he worked at the pasta shop and a sales job with Unico until the family business grew too busy to do both.

For more than two decades, Tony and Rachel worked what everyone joked was “the equiva-lent of an eight-day week”, side-by-side, leaving Mondays off for their “date day”.

Their three children, Sandra, Dori and Michael, worked at Multi Pasta, too, and once a week, Tony’s parents took the bus from Toronto to Richmond Hill to help out, leaving their mark with fam-ily recipes like Nonna’s Sauce.

The shop became a little com-munity and the Chiovittis grew to know who was the “Thursday night customer” or the “Sunday regular”.

If you mentioned someone was sick, Tony sent you home with soup. If your kids were home visiting from university, he’d remember their favourite meal.

Sundays, he’d hang out with the regulars, talk with them about their lives and share samples of his latest recipes.

“Try this mess. I made it myself,” he’d say, offering up something delicious he’d con-cocted that day.

“It was like his kitchen was your kitchen,” Augustin, of Rich-mond Hill, remembers. “He’d say ‘Bring your own dishes. I’ll put my food in it and you can say it’s yours!’ He made you feel like family.”

At the same time, customers became family to Tony. He’d boast about his grandchildren and dis-play their photos on a big bulletin

board in the shop.Customers brought Tony and

Rachel gifts for Christmas and Easter, Sandra says. “They’d always wonder at that, saying ‘we’re just your pasta supplier!’”

Tony spent his last weekend celebrating with family and friends and Monday, “date day”, with Rachel, visiting with grand-children Robert, 8, and Stella, 6. In the wee hours of May 17, he

passed away from cardiac arrest.“He was able to see a lot of peo-

ple he cared about that weekend,” Rachel says.

“It was like God was getting him ready to go.”

Rachel was back in the shop again one week later, finding it soothing to be surrounded by customers who could share their Tony stories, memories and warm thoughts — providing the same

family-like support that Tony had offered them for so many years.

Today (July 14) is Rachel and Tony’s 43rd wedding anniversary. Rachel anticipates it will be a tough day to get through, but she knows she’ll be comforted by the blanket of support provided by the community that she and Tony built.

“Tony was one of a kind. He wore his heart on his sleeve, he was a giving man. Family was very important to him. A great stand up guy! He will never be forgotten!”

- Mr. and Mrs. Michael Iamundo “He was a man of good humour, hon-our, respect and love for his fellow humans. The sparkle in his eyes and his wide smile was always so welcom-ing to see. In 27 years, I never saw a frown on his face.”

- Daniella and Primo Ballan “I had the pleasure of being one of Tony’s customers at Multi Pasta. My Sunday ritual of going to get that day’s pasta for my Sunday lunch with my family always proved to be more than a simple customer/vendor exchange. His jokes were corny but they always brought a smile … Heaven has just received another shining star and may he rest in the love of God’s peace.”

- Teena Poirier “Yesterday, as I do every week, I stopped by Multi Pasta for my weekly shopping and chat with a great man, Tony. I was deeply saddened to read a notice on the door that you had passed away. My heart goes out to your family, who you spoke of often with such great love and pride. You were an amazing busi-ness owner in Richmond Hill, always making each and every customer feel welcome.” - Jennifer Slamen

Longtime customers say they never saw a frown on Tony Chiovitti’s face.

“Adored by children, universally respected and an inspiration to her peers, Mrs. McCluskey was a tireless volunteer, quick to defl ect the praise heaped on her.”
