Resting his arms on the board-room table, Garry Styles grips a water bottle.

“He was a family man,” he says of his son, York Regional Police Const. Garrett Styles, 32, killed while on duty in East Gwillimbury last year.

“He was honourable and he loved his community.”

More than a year after the inci-dent, Mr. Styles’ grief is palpable.

Now retired after more than three decades of policing York, the elder Styles no doubt saw a lot of what society can dish out during his career.

But today, he weeps for his lost son; a son for whom he caught baseballs, who followed him into policing and, just like his dad, donated blood to help others get

healthy — even though he didn’t like needles.

The respect his son showed to adults, his modesty and his sense of knowing what needed to be done and doing it showed his true character, Mr. Styles says.

So, it didn’t surprise the family when Garrett decided to serve his community.

He attended Newmarket High School and, in 2001, graduated

with honours from police founda-tions at Humber College.

“I think he always wanted to be a policeman,” Mr. Styles said, recalling photographs of his boy wearing his old gear.

Const. Styles joined York Region-al Police as a cadet-in-training in 2003 and became a constable in May 2004. He worked uniform

Deal too good to be true?

By SanDRa BoLansbolan@yrmg.com

You know when you walk by the ice cream shop and think grabbing a scoop or two of choc-olate chip cookie dough is your greatest idea ever but you keep on walking, ever so slowly by, because you know, it’s actually a really bad idea that will negate all the work you did in the gym that morning.

That sober second thought is exactly how somehow should deal with people who bang on your door proclaiming they can offer you a great deal on your roof repair or driveway paving, but you have to commit to hav-ing the work done right now, because the deal is a one-time only offer.

“It’s pressure tactics,” said Det. Christine Maleszyk of York Regional Police’s major fraud unit. “Take the time because there are other people who will offer you discounts.”

Looking back, Musselman’s Lake resident Michele Keys wish-es she did just that instead of getting roped into the hype of getting a so-called good deal.

It was Aug. 17 and Ms Keys had just finished a session of

Pavers left when police arrived at lake: owner

NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETIONADDENDUM TO THE CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

Improvements to St. John’s Sideroadfrom Bayview Avenue to Woodbine Avenue

Town of Aurora and Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville

The Regional Municipality of York has completed an addendum to the Class EnvironmentalAssessment (EA) for proposed improvements to St. John’s Sideroad between Bayview Avenueand Woodbine Avenue in the Town of Aurora and the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville. The studyhas been conducted in accordance with Schedule C of the Municipal Class EnvironmentalAssessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007 and 2011) under the Ontario EnvironmentalAssessment Act.

Subject to the comments receivedas a result of this notice and thereceipt of other approvals, theRegion intends to proceed with thedetailed design and construction ofthis project.

The St. John’s Sideroad ClassEA Study completed in 1999recommended a two-lane roadwaywith a rural cross-section betweenBayview Avenue and Woodbine Avenue. Lands between Bayview Avenue and Highway 404have been approved for residential and commercial developments (as part of the Town ofAurora, 2C Secondary Plan). As a result, there is a need to confirm the recommendations ofthe 1999 Environmental Study Report (ESR) and update the corridor requirements based oncurrent traffic projections and development plans. The addendum to the Class EA Study hasrecommended the following improvements for St. John’s Sideroad:

• A four-lane urban cross-section with on-street bike lanes from Bayview Avenue to LeslieStreet;

• Sidewalks along both the north and south sides of St. John’s Sideroad from Bayview Avenueto Leslie Street with the provision of a multi-use path on the south side, when required;

• Full illumination along the Bayview Avenue to Leslie Street corridor, when required;• Maintain a two-lane rural cross-section from Leslie Street to Woodbine Avenue with the

provision of a paved shoulder to accommodate cyclists;• Traffic signals and left turn lanes at Woodbine Avenue, when required.

This addendum to the Class EA Study describes the problem, the assessment of alternativesand the recommended improvements, as well as the public and agency consultation programsconducted. This notice places the ESR Addendum on public record for review beginning August23, 2012, at the following locations during normal business hours:

Cigarette ignites flower pot

Flower pot fires are increasing across the province. In Whitchurch-Stouffville, there has been one such fire so far this summer.

It took place mid-July on Grandwood Ave-nue in southern Stouffville.

A person was smoking and extinguished the cigarette in a flower pot on the wooden back deck. The pot burned and damaged the deck, according to Whitchurch-Stouffville Fire Chief Rob McKenzie.

The person put the fire out before the fire department arrived. However, the incident

did cause a couple of hundred dollars worth of damage, according to Mr. McKenzie.

The pots contain a mix of peat moss, shred-ded wood and bark that can easily ignite.

“Because it’s been so dry, they don’t realize it smolders in there ... and then suddenly it will combust,” said Jennifer Cooper, fire pre-vention officer for Whitchurch-Stouffville fire.

Some safety tips provided by the fire department include not using planters/flower pots as ashtrays; providing proper ashtrays or non-combustible containers filled with sand; not using combustible planters/flower pots and not putting the pots close to other com-bustible materials.

Calandra not ‘cleared’Re: Calandra cleared by eth-

ics office, Aug. 16.Your headline states Oak

Ridges-Markham MP Paul Calandra was cleared.

To my mind, to be “cleared” is to suggest an investigation has been completed and a decision made.

This did not take place. Your story says “an investi-

gation into the alleged accep-tance of inappropriate dona-tions by MP Paul Calandra will not take place”.

According to The Globe and Mail, the ethics commissioner decided not to investigate his fundraising activities because she must have evidence the MP in question directly asked for money.

Evidently the riding asso-ciation members requested money in his presence instead. Mr. Calandra states the ethics commissioner confirmed he did not break the rules, however, in this context, she used words

such as “murky” to describe the mix of lobbying and political fundraising and said the rules need to be “beefed up”. Under these circumstances, to say he was cleared is inaccurate.

Given that many people, myself included, frequently do not read beyond the headlines, I respectfully request your headline writer be more pre-cise in the future on such an important matter.

Arlene reesorSTOUffVILLE

love summer in the city. Or the town, rather.

I grew up in Markham and am still getting used to the idea I apparently grew up in a city.

Luckily, Stouffville residents have a long wait to reach city status and have no immediate NHL dreams I’ve heard of.

This summer marks my last sum-mer at home with the kids running “Camp Mom” and we’ve made a point to make the best of our eight short weeks.

There are lots of things to see and do in Stouffville, rain or shine. I was inspired to share some of these ideas after reading about the temporary Lehmans Pond closure in The Sun-Tribune.

In early July, the kids and I ven-tured to the pond on a nature walk, armed with sketch books, cameras and pencils. As simple as a nature walk is, in actuality, the pond held our attention for close to two hours.

We spent time listening to frogs, sketched and photographed a heron and counted several different ani-mals. It is amazingly serene sitting on a faded wooden bench tucked away in the forest and, best of all, it was free.

Other sunny day activities includ-

Plenty to do this summer around town, home

ed Timber Creek Golf. While not free, the Ninth Line complex is certainly less expensive when you dig out the coupon from your child’s report card.

I can’t say I’m any better at mak-ing par, but the kids have improved dramatically and have evolved from a hockey stance to proper golf pos-ture.

While not quite in town, I had no idea how close Sibbald Point Provincial Park is to Stouffville. This made for a really inexpensive picnic spot and day at the beach, something those miss-ing public access to Musselman’s (Mus-selman?) Lake should consider as an alternative beach locale. The waters are shallow and the playground, according

to my eight-year-old, was awesome. What most of us seem to struggle

with during the summer is what to do when the weather doesn’t co-operate with outdoor activities.

My son treats screen time as some-thing as quintessential as air, so ven-turing to the Stouffville library for the TD reading program was a welcome diversion. Both kids really honed in on theme-specific readings to earn extra tickets for the vast array of prizes avail-able to be won, which will be handed out today.

The themed weeks also encouraged the kids to read something different and they are better for it in having kept up with reading over the summer.

The library also seems to be the only place to borrow movies in town – again free, unless you’re not so punctual with the return times.

As a full-time student, I’m able to catch up on recent releases — for me, that means 2008 and later — and the children’s section has lots of titles we don’t own.

We have also explored the Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum this summer, which has child-friendly spac-es, including the hands-on area with period clothing, photographs and toys. By purchasing a family membership, we were entitled to free research and

Iare thankful for all of the time put into digging up history on our home.

On days when it’s pouring and we just don’t want to leave the house, we put “Kids Kitchen” on the schedule. Frankly, to have both my kids enjoy the same meal is a miracle and if they want to make it themselves, even better.

In late July, we made mini pizzas in the Easy Bake Oven, along with cheese nachos. (The result of an unfortunate incident with a dropped box of taco shells.) We have also had fun with Rice Krispies’ candy sushi, homemade lem-onade and s’mores over the fire pit. I still can’t bake, but we have fun trying.

Out of the kitchen we have found many uses for paper, paints and little bits sourced from just about anywhere. Glitter glue can embellish everything from pirate ships to picture frames.

Inevitably, Camp Mom must come to an end. The pool must be closed, the beach toys shelved and the backpacks scrubbed clean.

While Labour Day is the unofficial end to summer, it marks the beginning of a new school year and the wonders to be found in Stouffville in the fall.

By Jeremy Grimaldijgrimaldiyrmg.com

There is nothing quite like taking it back to the old school — by that I mean the real old school, so old school that you could almost call it medieval.

I’m referring to cooking outdoors, as many of our forefathers did, over an open flame.

Ideally, in this case, it should be done near a river, beside a lake, underneath a tree or close to a forest.

If all of this natural luxury is not available, a back yard will do.

It also helps to be surrounded by your clos-est friends and relatives with plenty of booze handy, to help everyone appropriately grasp and delve into the old-fashionedness of the event.

This custom is almost unheard of in Can-ada, but in Hungary and much of Eastern Europe, the tradition of cooking outdoors remains common.

On a number of occasions, I have partaken in these bogracs and it has remained in my consciousness ever since.

‘look at me like i’m crazy’

When I called Ferenc Sarkozy, owner and head chef of Rhapsody Hungarian Res-taurant, he laughed heartily — reminiscing about olden days in front of the cauldron the Magyar still use to make their goulash soup.

“We used to do this all the time,” he said. “Now, my kid would look at me like I’m crazy if I asked him/her to do this or eat Goulash

cooked in this way. He is Canadianized and likes burgers and hot dogs on a barbecue. Even so, I still go out with my brother and closest friends once in a while, but not nearly enough.”

recipe ‘changes with wind’

For him, cooking outside is not only a great way to be surrounded by your friends, but also a much more interesting way to cook.

“When you cook inside, you know exactly what’s going into your food,” he said.

“It’s when you get outside that you really feel free and that things change and you cre-ate new things.

“The recipe can change with the wind. It provides the freedom of choice.”

For Mr. Sarkozy, the tradition started in his early teens at his cottage in Velence, Balaton, one of the small villages surrounding Hun-gary’s most popular lake region.

“Back in the day before I was a chef, at about 14, that’s what we loved to do,” the 38-year-old Vaughan resident said. “My dad and I would go fishing, catch and clean the fish and cook it all up, whether we barbecued it, made fish soup, fish stew, bean goulash or goulash.”

According to Mr. Sarkozy, any good day out starts with some traditional peach palinka, Hungarian for peach snaps.

(For the complete recipe and photographs from a cookout, go to yorkregion.com)

patrol in Richmond Hill before moving north to patrol Newmarket, Aurora and East Gwillimbury.

Father and son even had the opportunity to work together on some paid duty assign-ments.

But work wasn’t Const. Styles’ entire life. Far from it.

He never tired of talking about his family — his wife, Melissa, and the couple’s chil-dren, Meredith and Nolan.

“He was a top-notch husband and dad,” his father said, voice breaking.

Life, as the Styles family knew it, halted at about 5 a.m. June 28, 2011.

Const. Styles stopped a 2005 Dodge Car-avan on Hwy. 48, south of Herald Road just north of Whitchurch-Stouffville.

Four people, including a now-16-year-old male youth, were in the vehicle.

In the moments that followed, Const. Styles was dragged about 300 metres before the driver lost control and rolled the mini-van, pinning the officer.

East Gwillimbury firefighters freed Const. Styles and he was rushed to Southlake Regional Health Centre, where he died.

The 16-year-old, who can’t be identified, is charged with murder.

Garrett Styles was the second York police officer killed on the job in four years. Det.-Const. Robert Plunkett died in 2007.

In his own career, the elder Styles served during an era that saw the death of two other colleagues — Consts. William Grant and Douglas Tribbling, both in 1984.

“I’ve lost four friends on the job,” Mr. Styles lamented. “One was my son.”

Drawing a breath, Mr. Styles admits the last year has been incredibly hard.

“It’s just something I never thought would happen, but it did,” he says. “I don’t think there’s a moment in the day that I don’t think about him and what happened. He left a lasting impression on all of us.”

GARRETT STYLES: York police offi-cer died last summer just north of Whitchurch-Stouffville border.

SPORTS: National player of year featured

Former Spirit forward Christian Finch’s game-worn jersey from last season is on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, thanks to his accomplishments last season.

The Spirit alternate captain’s jersey is being featured prominently within the Hall of Fame’s Hometown Hockey Year-in-Review exhibit that recaps the past season at all leagues and levels of the game.

As well, a tribute to Finch can be found on a large mural that is part of the same exhibit.

Also donated to the Hall of Fame from this past season was an all-star jersey Finch wore at the inaugural Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge in Smiths Falls.

Finch finished the 2011-12 Ontario Junior Hockey League season as the leading scorer

with 104 points. The Spirit went on to win its first OJHL championship.

As well, a tribute to Finch can be

found on a large mural...

The Claremont resident, who grew up in Markham, was named the North-West Confer-ence player-of-the-month twice, a first team all-star and the OJHL most valuable player.

Finch capped off his dream season by being named national player-of-the-year.

He joins the Clarkson University Golden Knights, with fellow Spirit graduates Paul Geiger and Christian Powers, in Potsdam, N.Y., on a scholarship this fall.

Mennos split with Oshawa squads

You win some, you lose some.The Stouffville Mennos know the drill after

splitting a pair of Oshawa and District Softball League contests this week.

In Oshawa Tuesday, the Mennos jumped out to an 8-0 lead and then hung on for a 9-5 win over the hometown Rebels.

The big blow was a two-run home run by Kris Burkholder just inside the left field foul pole that staked the Mennos to a 5-0 lead in the first inning.

Shawn Boadway had three hits and win-

ning pitcher Byron Baranieski had a single, double and three RBI.

The defensive gem was a first-inning dou-ble play engineered by shortstop Jeff Boad-way. He stabbed a hot grounder, tagged a runner and then threw home to nail another runner trying to score from third on the play.

The Mennos lost 4-2 to the Oshawa Ravens in an error-free contest Thursday.

The Mennos travel to Oshawa for a return engagement with the Ravens Wednesday.

Their next, and final, scheduled home game is at Memorial Park Sept 6.

yoga and meditation, so “you’re kind of in a blissful kind of state,” she said.

So when someone knocked on her door around 11 a.m. instead of ignoring it, as she normally would have, she answered it.

A “pleasant Brit” wearing a hard hat and work vest said his road crew was just finishing up some culvert work in the area and would she like her driveway paved with the left-over asphalt.

He offered her, what he called a great deal at $3 a square-foot instead of the standard $15 a square-foot. But she had to act now and if Ms Keys didn’t take the offer, the material would be hauled to a dump.

DISCOVERED SCAMS

“He almost made it feel like I am helping him out ... It just seemed like a win-win situation,” the retired 58-year-old said.

Ms Keys said there was legitimate road work being done in the area and she just assumed it was the same people.

She signed the contract, despite asking twice how much it would cost and having the answer deflected both times. She was told he would not know the cost until he figured out how much asphalt was required.

Ms Keys didn’t hand over any money.

“Even after I signed the contract I didn’t get a negative feeling about him at all and that really bothered me. What kind of judge of character am I?” she said.

But something didn’t sit quite right with her. The letterhead on the contract she signed — it was in colour.

“Most places can’t afford all-colour letterhead,” she said.

Between that and her curiosity about just how good a deal she got, Ms Keys decided to do an Internet search while they were working on her driveway.

Ms Keys quickly learned she wasn’t getting a deal and, in fact, she was paying full market value.

Her search also led her to sto-ries about paving scams taking place throughout the province over the past few years, including one in Dur-ham Region earlier this summer.

Ms Keys called Durham Region Police’s major fraud squad who sug-gested she call York police.

An officer in a marked car swung by her home.

“They just high-tailed it out of here” shortly after the officer’s arriv-al, Ms Keys said of the pavers.

“I don’t know if they’re going to come back and ask for payment,” she said. “As soon as I realized it was a scam, I felt sick to my stomach. I didn’t know what to do. ... I always felt my intuition was pretty good.

Michele Keys has questions about her freshly paved driveway.

Police offer tips to homeowners

But I didn’t have a sense this guy was pulling the wool over my eyes,” she said.

This was the first time York police media spokesperson Sgt. Gary Phil-lips has heard of a possible paving scam. Fraud scams mostly consist of home renovations, roofing, fencing and painting, he said.

NEW ON YORK POLICE

Det. Maleszyk suggested people take a second to think about what is being offered and “talk to someone. Someone just to bounce the idea off, someone who can see things you’re not thinking about.”

Other must-dos before signing a contract include asking for the con-tractor’s identification and creden-tials. And before committing to any

home improvement project, get at least two or three other bids, accord-ing to Sgt. Phillips.

If you are asked to pay for the entire job up front, this should raise a red flag. Instead, payments should be made as the project progresses, with the final payment being made when the job is complete, he noted.

Always pay by cheque or credit card, never cash.

“Remember that criminals are opportunists. Don’t give them the opportunity to make you a victim of crime. They can be very persuasive, using all types of excuses, explana-tions and offers to lead you away from using your common sense. Fraud can be avoided when you don’t participate,” according to Sgt. Phillips.
