BY SANDRA [email protected]

Zip-lining in Costa Rica. Fly-ing on a Lancaster bomber. Solo trips to France and Italy with an excursion to Israel in the works.

Ninety-year-old Cyril Back does not let age dictate his activi-ties.

“The Lord’s blessed me with good health. I don’t just sit here all the time and watch televi-sion,” he said.

Mr. Back, who lives in the Parkview Village apartments, also plays bridge twice a week at the Silver Jubilee and once a week in the village. He also leads Parkview Village’s worship com-mittee.

Mr. Back and his wife Gladys moved into the village apart-ments in 1986. She died sudden-ly in 2007 following knee replace-ment surgery. She was 80.

His zest and love of life is an inspiration to his three children, who earlier this year gave their father a one-hour flight on a Sec-ond World War Lancaster bomb-er plane for his 90th birthday.

Travel, adventure keep Cyril Back young

Line dance guru Ira Weisburd leads an impromptu dance during a barbecue hosted by Bruce and Bunny Burton (far right) in Stouffville Wednes-day. The American choreographer and instructor’s first Canadian tour also included stops in Orillia and Grimsby this week.

When Quisha Wint was asked by her Grade 13 guidance counsel-lor to make a career choice based on a list she gave her, Ms Wint had a problem.

“There was nothing there relat-ed to music. I was quite disap-pointed,” she said.

Luckily, Ms Wint ran into a

former student who was going to Humber College for jazz music, who encouraged her to check out the program.

She visited the school, ironically during recital week.

“I was blown away and said this is the school for me,” the Stouffville resident said.

The rest is history, as they say. The 35-year-old singer/songwrit-

er will sing the national anthem prior to the puck dropping for the second annual Hockey Night in Stouffville Thursday.

Paul Calandra, MP for Oak Ridges-Markham and the host of the event, met Ms Wint earlier this year at the Junos.

“Phenomenal talent, to be hon-est with you,” he said.

“We’re going to hear a lot from

her. She’s a really talented singer,” Mr. Calandra said.

Singing the anthem is nothing new for Ms Wint. She’s been doing it before Toronto Raptors’ home games for the past three years.

Earlier this year, Ms Wint, who spent years as a back-up vocalist, stepped out of those shadows

Thieves net $7,000 in golf clubs, cash entering through unlocked doors

A number of Stouffville homeowners left doors to their residences and garages open, or unlocked, resulting in the theft of a number of items, including three sets of golf clubs valued at about $7,000.

The clubs were stolen from a garage on Cam Fella Boulevard during the day Aug. 7. A garage door was left open, according to York Regional Police.

During the overnight hours of Aug. 10, an unknown suspect entered a Tenth Line home through an unlocked rear patio door and stole a wallet. The com-plainant was home at the time, according to police.

That same night, a neighbour had his iPhone taken from his garage, which was unlocked.

Sometime between 11 p.m. Aug. 10 and 7 a.m. Aug. 11, while the owner was home, someone entered a Lori Avenue house via an unlocked door. The suspect stole a purse containing cash and then entered the unlocked garage and removed an iPod from a vehicle.

Doors damaged, no entry to shops

A pair of Main Street businesses had their front doors damaged after hours Aug. 8 or 9.

No entry was gained to either location.– Sandra Bolan

Easy being green when cooking outdoorsBY KIM ZARZOUR

[email protected]

We hate to rain on your back yard party, but fresh-air cooking can be anything but wholesome.

Whether it’s the carcinogens from charred meat, the fumes you inhale with chemical-laden char-coal lighter fluid or the truckloads of plastic cups and cutlery piling up in the landfill, lighting up the bar-bee can be toxic for you and the planet.

But it doesn’t have to be.With a few simple changes to

how you grill, you can still enjoy goodies outdoors and do good for the outdoors (and your family’s health) at the same time.

Step one: Choose the greenest cooking method.

Connie Wong, air quality co-or-dinator with the Lung Association, says it’s especially important we cook conscientiously on hot days such as we’ve had this summer, when air quality impacts those with breathing difficulties. She recom-mends using natural gas or pro-pane; it produces less air pollution compared to charcoal grills.

Instant-light charcoal and lighter fluid can also add toxins to your food. A good alternative is the chim-ney starter, Ms Wong says.

BIC has a new product, called FlameDisk, that is an alternative to charcoal. It uses ethanol — a renew-able resource — as the main fuel ingredient, is recyclable in commu-nities where aluminum products may be recycled and claims to burn cleaner with low volatile organic compound emissions. It can be found at Walmart, Home Hardware, Sobey’s and Mac’s for $5 to $7.

If charcoal is your thing, Marwan Dib, executive chef at Newmarket’s Nature’s Emporium, recommends either pure lump wood charcoal or charcoal made with coconut husks. Produced from the Cocos-Nucifera tree, which is plentiful in Indone-sia, the latter is available at Ontario Gas BBQ in Concord. Owner Duff Dixon says his store also sells Maple Leaf charcoal, which is made from government-sanctioned forestry cutting.

You can also investigate corn-burning grills, fueled by dried corn kernels, a renewable energy source, or the new hydrogen-powered grill (hionsolar.com/hyque.htm) pro-duced by a California company sell-

A summer series on the art of barbecuing

THRILL THE

GRILL

ing it for $495 US.Solar-powered cooking is anoth-

er option for your outdoor cookout. If you like the idea of the slow food movement, this method fits well since it takes hours to cook, but leaves a light eco-footprint.

Shoresh Jewish Environmental Programs in Thornhill has built a solar oven from reclaimed mate-rial — plywood, old windows and sleeping bags — and children build pizza-box ovens that get warm enough to melt cheese on a bagel, says director Risa Alyson Cooper.

But if you’re sticking with the standard gas grill, environmental-ists suggest you purchase one that will last, rather than a cheap, dis-posable unit, and take care of it. Cheryl Rak, with the Meat Merchant in Stouffville, suggests cleaning with a wire brush, vinegar and water and protecting your grill from the ele-ments with a cover.

Community grills are another green option.

“For the amount of grilling we do, does it make sense that every house on the block has one?” Ms Cooper says. If you’re already firing up the grill, she suggests calling the neighbors; it’s a chance to share the heat and maybe some back yard conversation.

Step two: Choose earth-friendly fare.

“It’s not just how you grill,” Ms Cooper says, “but also what you grill.”

To keep your eco-footprint small, Fiona Wood, with York Region Envi-ronmental Alliance, recommends vegetarian fare, using local, organic fruits and vegetables from farm-ers markets, community supported agricultural programs, or purchas-ing grocery food with Ontario-grown stickers.

In an ideal world, you’d grow your own organically, but that’s not always possible. Joan Stonehocker, executive director of York Region Food Network, can’t grow veggies in her shady back yard, so she and

a friend share a community garden plot a 15-minute bike-ride away and fill it with a rainbow of produce to toss on the grill.

For those who prefer meat, Ms Rak suggests buying from a local butcher carrying meat sourced locally and ideally is grain-fed or organic. To keep grilling fumes to a minimum, choose meat that cooks quickly — hotdogs, sausages and sliders — she says.

For best results, make sure your meat is at room temperature. After marinating in the fridge, allow meat to sit out on the counter 25 minutes; this will allow for even cooking and quicker time on the grill, she says.

Barbecuing veggies at the same time as your meat also reduces grill time. Potatoes and corn can be microwaved to quickly “pre-cook” and then finished up on the grill.

Another way to minimize cook-ing time is to focus on fresh, Mr. Dib suggests. Try making salsa to top up quick-cooking fish, for example. A rack of lamb, cut into chops, (mari-naded with rosemary, lemon, olive oil and garlic) is another favorite fast-cooking meal, as are kabobs (try pineapple with pork in an olive oil,

More ideas: 4 If you don’t have enough reusable cups and cutlery, borrow from neighbours or ask your guests to bring their own. If you must go for disposables, look for compostable options

4 Skip plates altogether: plan finger food or wrap food up in pita or collard greens

4 Place recycle and compost bins some-where handy so guests can scrape and toss with ease

4 Go for a well-planned potluck (to reduce wasted food) toted in reusable containers

4 Send guests home with leftovers

4 Masking tape labels ensure fewer cups are dirtied or tossed

4Rather than plastic water bottles, fill pitchers with water or juice made from concentrate.

garlic, lemon/vinegar marinade).Mr. Dib also likes to cook plate-

free as they do in Thailand, wrap-ping food in banana leaves to hold the meal together and keep it moist. He also marinades his meat with antioxidant herbs, such as rosemary, to reduce the amount of chemical build-up on food.

If you’re cooking fish or sea-food, environmentalist David Suzuki offers this guide to more sustainable choices: davidsuzuki.org/what-you-can-do/eat-for-healthy-oceans/?gclid=CKP96_j9srECFQ67Kgodq14AKw

More eco-smart options: substi-tute firm tofu in recipes that call for meat (marinade first, then cook over low heat) and for dessert, pop baked goods on the still-warm grill and close the lid to reheat while you dine.

Step three: hosting an eco-friendly cookout

Danielle Cawthorne, of New-market, keeps a big plastic bin filled with cutlery, plastic plates, bowls and cups collected from second-hand and dollar stores, ready for outdoor get-togethers.

“When the picnic is over, there’s no fuss, all the dirty dishes go back in the bin and we take them home to wash.”

Former citizen of the year Joan Doble holds a giant puffball found by her husband, Jim Doble, near Ballantrae this week. The large fungus weighed more than seven pounds and measured more than 45 inches in circumference. It’s the largest Mr. Doble, a former town councillor, has seen in 45 years as an outdoorsman. Most puffballs are the size of golf balls. The couple was preparing their find for dinner Wednesday.

“I was reduced to tears,” Mr. Back said of the gift.

“I’ve got a wonderful family. They support me so much,” he said.

Mr. Back took his flight Aug. 4.“I enjoyed every minute of it,”

the Second World War veteran said. “Beautiful flight. It was very com-fortable. Very good.”

The flight left from the Canadi-an Warplane Heritage Museum just outside of Hamilton for a fly-over of Toronto’s waterfront and then the Niagara Falls before returning to the heritage museum.

Although Mr. Back served in the war, it was in administrative roles, so he never flew in a military plane, let alone in a Lancaster, which he has been enamoured with since 1945 when he was posted to the air sea rescue squadron in Polignano. That was the first time he saw Lan-casters.

Mr. Back’s interest in the Lan-casters was re-ignited in 1992 when, as part of the Ontario Senior Games’ committee, he travelled to the warplane museum.

He became a member of the Lancaster Propeller supporters who restored a Second World War allied

bomber.Of the more than 7,300 bombers

that rolled off the assembly lines in Canada and Britain, only two still fly, according to the Canadian War-plane Heritage Museum’s website.

Of the Canadian-built Lancast-ers, about 100 of them were lost during the war, approximately 70 others went missing in action and an additional 30 crashed upon their return to England or in training, according to the Bomber Command Museum of Canada’s website.

Not quite knowing what to do with the planes post-war, many were sold to farmers for a few hundred dollars each. Farmers were able to re-purpose their engines, hydrau-lic oils, wires and hydraulic jacks, according to Bomber Command Museum of Canada’s web site.

The aircrafts also provided an abundant supply of wire, metal tubes and sheet aluminum.

Lancaster tail wheels, accord-ing to Bomber Command Museum of Canada’s website, were put on threshing machines, bomb-bay doors were turned into flower gar-den borders, propeller spinners became plant pots and the escape hatches with windows were utilized in outhouses.

Mr. Back was born in Woodstock, Ont. but moved to the United King-dom when he was three-and-a-half with his British parents.

In 1942, he enlisted. When Mr. Back interviewed with the air force, he said he was told there wasn’t a spot for him and he should go down the hall to the navy’s recruit-ment office and try there. As he was walking down the hall, Mr. Back recalled the army recruiter calling back to him, asking if he could type. He could.

Mr. Back joined the British army and took on general clerical duties that included typing personnel occurrence reports.

Mr. Back said when he was learn-ing to type he did not know why he was doing it.

“I’m a Christian. I believe the Lord leads us in these things,” he said.

Mr. Back served in North Africa, Sicily, Italy and Corsica.

In 2007, Mr. Back went to the Vimy memorial for its 90th anni-versary. An uncle of his was killed at Vimy Ridge and his name is on the memorial. His body was never found. Mr. Back returned to France for the 95th anniversary earlier this year.

His parents went to the origi-nal unveiling of the monument in 1936. Mr. Back did not.

“I was just a teenager at that time. I guess I wasn’t that interest-ed,” Mr. Back said, admitting the trip would have had him cross-ing the English Channel, some-thing he never did before and that frightened him.

Today, not much scares the 90-year-old.

Last year, while attending a

grandson’s wedding in Costa Rica, Mr. Back decided to join his family on the zip line.

“It was a wonderful experience. It was good. I was 89 at the time and it caused a stir” because to that date, he was the oldest person to go on that zip line, he said.

Mr. Back has no idea when his adventures will stop. He is already working on a trip to Israel in 2013.

“I understand you never feel the same once you go there,” he said.

Head to Keswick if you’re seeking pet

If you are looking for a pet, either a lost one or a new one, the Georgina Animal Con-trol and Adoption Centre in Keswick is overflowing with friendly cats.

Many people don’t real-ize animals picked up in Whitchurch-Stouffville, New-market, East Gwillimbury and Georgina are taken to Geor-gina animal control at 26815 Civic Centre Rd. Keswick.

The cats are tame and affec-tionate, which means they once had a home, but, sadly, their owners haven’t come looking for them.

Many have been in cages at animal control for months.

So please open your hearts and give a kitty a forever home.

Hospital, staff, food all world class

I had surgery in our world-class Markham Stouffville Hos-pital this summer.

The staff was great and, thanks to Dr. Arnold and the diligent nurses, I am feeling fine.

The meals were excellent, also.

I am very thankful to have had such good care.

“Resolved: That the running of horseless carriages be prohibited within the limits of the village of Mackinac.” — Mackinac Island, Michigan, Village Council, July 6, 1898.

o you ever wonder what it would really be like to live in a place where there are no cars? Just bicycles, people on foot and maybe a better use of boats along

the shoreline to get around?It’s this kind of utopian ideal many

envision for pockets of downtown Toronto or main streets in the towns that surround the big city (minus the boats, of course, although the way it’s been raining, you never know).

You’d like to get an idea of how this would work but examples — short of going to a continent where the car is not ubiquitous thanks to basic poverty — are few and far between.

I was lucky enough to go to a place where cars aren’t king over my summer vacation. It was fun for this tourist and fascinating from the perspective of the car-less society.

Mackinac Island, which is in Lake Huron, has lived apparently quite hap-pily under an automobile ban since the early 1900s.

World without cars? Maybe on my island

The only acceptable modes of trans-portation other than good old shoe power are bicycles — of which there are hun-dreds for rent — and horses, whose call-ing cards add a certain odiferous quality to the air in the town core. (Just think of it as “horse exhaust”, which clears your sinuses.)

The horses, which are raised on the island, are pretty hard working, pulling everything from carriages filled with peo-ple to UPS courier wagons to big wagons collecting the garbage along the main streets, which are lined with fudge shops, restaurants and retail stores.

The day we were there, after arriv-ing by passenger ferry from St. Ignace,

the temperatures were definitely on the warm side, so the horses were getting plenty of water and moving at a pretty slow pace.

The real way to get around, though, was by bicycle. We rented bikes for just $6 an hour. Mine was a Trek, one of the most comfortable two-wheelers I’ve ever ridden.

It was an upright thing with padded seat that the rental guy picked out, no doubt using a mental checklist. (Old guy? Check. Doesn’t ride bikes much? Check. Back problems every six months? Check).

It took us an hour-and-a-half to ride around the paved road on the perimeter of the island, which includes a state park, and my legs, back and behind hardly felt a thing.

The funny thing was that it took me a while to relax and realize that no, a car was not coming up behind me on my left. No need to keep looking over my shoulder. No need to keep listening for that infernal combustion engine that never came.

I can enjoy the scenery: trees, pebble beaches, clear water, fresh, horse-free air and beautiful old homes.

Meanwhile, there was much civil-ity among us cyclists, who made way for

D

each other and passed with care. Maybe it’s because we were tourists.

But maybe it was because the bicycle is more human in scale and, without cars around, everyone was relaxed and not in fear for their lives.

Could this type of thing be replicated here in York Region?

I know it’s unlikely. The advantage of the island is that it’s cut off from the world of cars by a sizable body of water, meaning an automobile ban can be enforced.

But there is a beauty to the whole place that seems worth trying to repli-cate, even in an urban setting.

To me, it’s not bike lanes beside road-ways but rather bicycle paths through parks and forests, completely separated from cars, that are our best hope — some-thing our towns and cities are working on now, at great cost and with sometimes mixed results.

Although perhaps, after 100 years of automobiles, the horse is already out of the barn, so to speak, and only digging a moat around an entire town could keep the cars away.

and onto centre stage with the release of her debut CD, My Journey.

“I am allowing people to see who I am. I’m just out there. I am being me for the first time. I’m not being someone else’s singer,” she said.

“It’s almost like I feel I’m back at square one in the industry,” Ms Wint said.

Ms Wint, who hails originally from Scarbor-ough, grew up in a Jamaican home listening to reggae, Motown, gospel and R and B music.

But it was Whitney Houston’s CD Whitney, bought for Ms Wint by her parents when she was six, that made her want to be a singer.

“I would play Whitney Houston every day from sun up to sun down,” she said. “She has that voice that really captivates you.”

Between attending Humber and singing at any and all open mic nights that would get her heard by industry insiders, Ms Wint’s first big break and paying gig came when she was asked

by one of her college teachers if she was inter-ested in being a part of a legends show in Seoul, South Korea. She said yes and spent four-and-a-half months, six nights a week performing in Seoul’s Grand Hyatt Hotel.

Also while still in school, Ms Wint was a back-up vocalist for rappers Maestro and Snow. She also toured with Jacksoul between 2004 and 2009.

Canadian idol CritiCs

Ms Wint said she has never taken a back-up vocalist gig she wasn’t interested in. She also noted that while it may seem like an easy job, there is an art form to being in the background and it’s all about “making that artist sound really good”.

Prior to touring with Jacksoul, Ms Wint made it to the top-30 of Canadian Idol. She called the experience “bittersweet” and an “emotional roller coaster” she does not want to repeat.

Ms Wint said she was convinced to audition for the show by her friends and family because of the American version’s success.

While she received constructive criticism

from the judges, the viewers posting online were less constructive and more critical.

“It was quite difficult ... what these people say. They don’t know me,” she said.

“I learned how not to allow negativity to over-power your mind and how you portray yourself and how you think of yourself,” she said.

Ms Wint’s appearance in front of a national audience earlier this year went much better. She was a background vocalist for William Shatner at the Juno awards.

“It was amazing to be on stage with an icon and he’s such a nice person and lots of fun. He’s hilarious. ... It blew my mind I was on the same stage as him.”

Ms Wint is also becoming a bit of an animated celebrity. She is the voice of Blueberry in the Mini-Wheats TV commercial that features the song Stuck in the Middle with You.

“It’s so surreal,” Ms Wint said of hearing her voice come out of a cartoon.

United Way York Region aims to set a new fundraising record in this year’s campaign.

Forty teams gathered around the stage at the annual Toromont CAT Dragon Boat Festival at Seneca College’s King Campus today as United Way CEO Daniele Zanotti announced the organization’s $8.26-million fundraising goal, accompanied by tambou-rines and vuvuzelas.

The crowd cheered, anticipating the start of the festival that pushes York Region’s busi-ness community to cross the finish line in support of the organization.

The annual event has kicked off the Unit-ed Way’s fundraising campaign for close to a decade.

Last year’s campaign raised a record $8.18 million.

“With an economy still so fragile and more people knocking on the door of a United Way-funded agency for help, many for the very first time, we know we must continue to do more,” United Way chair-

person Helen Murray said. “It is especially times like these that, together, we shine the brightest.”

Last year, 10,000 youths stayed clean and in school with United Way-funded mental health and addiction support, crisis coun-selling and educational programs, Mr. Zan-otti said.

He told the dragon boaters they kicked off a campaign that helped 5,000 people find jobs, affordable housing and healthy food and 46,000 people receive help close to home and crisis counselling during family transitions.

A safe shelter was found for a mother and her children, who were fleeing violence, he said.

“People are giving and volunteering because they see the change United Way is driving,” he said.

United Way York Region serves all nine municipalities by supporting agencies that meet urgent needs.

United Way also works on tackling the root causes of social issues.

Helena Jaczek’s annual community barbe-cue next weekend will also include presenta-tions of the first Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal winners in Stouffville.

The Oak Ridges-Markham MPP is hosting her fifth annual free barbecue Aug. 26 from 1 to 4 p.m. in Memorial Park.

tainment will be provided by local dance com-panies, vocalists and musicians.

For more information, go to www.helena-jaczek.onmpp.ca/mNews/1087?l=EN

The riding’s MP, Paul Calandra, will hand out Jubilee awards in October during a recep-tion at the Lebovic Centre for Arts and Enter-tainment - Nineteen on the Park.

The medal was created to mark the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada.

“The medal is a tangible way for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country,” according to a statement on Gov.-Gen. David Johnston’s website. “At the same time, it serves to honour significant contribu-tions and achievements by Canadians.

During the year of celebrations, 60,000 Canadians will be recognized by receiving the medal.

Toronto singer riding single into Nineteen on the Park

What do you get when you blend vocal powerhouses Whitney Houston and Miriah Carey with the soul singers Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and Adele?

Elise LeGrow.The 24-year-old Torontonian plays

the Lebovic Centre for Arts and Enter-tainment - Nineteen on the Park Thurs-day.

“She is really a throw-back, which speaks to a lot of different ages,” said Steven Foster, cultural facility and pro-gramming co-ordinator for the arts cen-tre.

Ms LeGrow’s single, No Good Woman, has spent more than 20 weeks on the Canadian adult contemporary charts.

Ms LeGrow began honing her vocal chops by performing classic selections from the American song book and even-tually putting her unique twist on them, while writing her own songs. Eventually she earned a record deal.

The singer/songwriter recently released her first EP, which includes col-laborations with Ron Sexsmith and Tawgs Salter, who has worked with Josh Groban, Lights and The Midway State, who played Nineteen on the Park last summer.

Other present and upcoming collabo-rations include Andre Harris, Jon Levine, Dave Thomson and Stefan Skarbek, who has worked with Amy Winehouse.

Tickets are $25 and available at http://nineteenonthepark.com/. Show time is 8 p.m.

DRIVE FOR SHOW, PUTT FOR DOUGH

STAFF PHOTO/SUSIE KOCKERSCHEIDT

John Willems, general manager of The Sun-Tribune’s York Region Media Group, putts during Markham Stouffville Hospital’s charity tourney at York Downs Golf and Country Club Monday. The event raised $215,000.

With five players missing from their lineup, the Stouffville Men-nos did not appear to have much of a chance in their Oshawa and City District Fastball League road game against the Oshawa Ravens Wednesday.

But in came the cavalry to the rescue.

Pulling in Mike Scott and Mark King from the Scarborough Ath-letics and catcher Jon Halbert from Aurora Shoeless Joe’s just to field a minimum roster, the three players each contributed two hits in an 11-3 win.

The Mennos scored three runs in each of their first two innings and never trailed.

In total, the Mennos amassed 14 hits, three of which came from leadoff hitter Rich Burkholder and winning pitcher Jay Nesbitt belting a home run and driving in three runs.

During his stint on the rubber, Nesbitt fanned nine batters while surrendering just two hits.

Phil Yahn was the losing pitch-er for Ravens.

Now 7-12 on the season, the Mennos have three games next week, away in Oshawa against the Rebels Tuesday, in Sharon against the Lake Simcoe Light-ning Wednesday and at Memorial Park against the Ravens Thursday at 8:30 p.m.

With five players

missing from their

lineup, the Stouffville

Mennos did not appear

to have much of a

chance...

The Mennos’ game Thursday was rescheduled. Their opposi-tion, the league-leading Scarbor-ough Athletics, has several play-ers in Michigan this week for the ISC championships.

Mark lives on in each of our hearts as son, brother,grandson, uncle, nephew, cousin, friend.

Indeed, Mark deeply touched all who knew him. Mark was known and is remembered for his kindness, his gentleness, his happiness, and for his beautiful capacity to love people

and life.We see Mark in the many creative works to which he

brought his wit, keen insight, and bright intelligence; we see him in the love and laughter that continues on in

remembrance of that shining light. We see Mark in the butterfl y and stars that come to visit, we see him in nature

and life all roundabout us. We each miss him so very much, but our private ache is eased with his spirit that

daily comes to assure all those he knew and loved.

Miss you always, Love you foreverMum, Dad, Hayley & Meghan
