It was a stain on an otherwise stellar summer in York Region: one year ago this week, on a warm summer evening, two teenaged girls drowned while paddling in

the waters of Musselman’s Lake.Now it appears similar troubles

are brewing this year, with mid-summer statistics showing Ontar-io drownings, while swimming or falling into water, on the increase and a disturbing spike in drowning

among teenagers, something the Lifesaving Society hopes to tackle with a new program aimed at pre-teens.

With warmer-than-normal temperatures this summer, more Canadians are turning to water for

relief, leaving more people at risk of drowning — teenagers especial-ly, according to Barbara Byers, the society’s public education director.

Leisure centre no

longer Lebovic

by SaNDra [email protected]

There is now only one build-ing in town with the name Lebo-vic on it.

Going forward, the Lebovic Leisure Centre will be called the Whitchurch-Stouffville Leisure Centre.

The name change was decid-ed upon by council Tuesday afternoon after discussions with the Joseph Lebovic Charitable Foundation failed to provide an extension on the naming rights agreement with additional con-tributions.

Councillor Susanne Hilton noted when the facility is ren-ovated in the upcoming years, council may want to revisit third-party naming rights.

“That’s high exposure for who-ever wants the naming rights,” she said during Tuesday after-noon’s council meeting.

“The additional funding, if secured, does help the town with asset management and repair and replacement of the items at the aging facility. Any amount

Stouffville’s Marie-Lynn Hammond recently helped form Friends of Georgina Animal Control to help with the shelter’s overcrowding.

Stray animals picked up from Whitchurch-Stouffville are taken to the animal control centre in Keswick.

The centre “is overflowing with friendly cats .... many have been in cages at animal control for months,” she said.

Starting today and ending Aug. 4, Geor-gina Animal Control is holding a Cat Adopt-A-Thon.

All cats, six months and older, will be avail-able for adoption at a reduced rate of $50. The normal fee is $150. The price includes spaying/neutering, vaccinations and micro-chipping.

I love to go fishing.At the same time, though not

always, I also love to eat the fish I catch.

Especially during the outings when I’m in pursuit of salmon or trout and am fortunate enough to land one.

That’s when my thoughts turn to putting the fruits of hard labour onto the grill.

While there are various ways to barbecue salmon or trout, one of the more popular recipes is to place a fillet or steak on a piece of wood and let it cook above the hot charcoals or gas grill.

Not just any piece of lumber will do. Rather, it has to be one that is untreated and made of cedar.

Based on a traditional recipe originally employed by native Indi-ans on the Canadian west coast, there’s nothing complex about cooking salmon or trout in this way.

Pieces of cedar for the purpose of grilling can be purchased at most grocery stores by going to the department where seafood is sold.

Or, you can go to a store that sells lumber and purchase pieces of untreated cedar and custom cut them to fit inside your grill.

Once you’ve got your cedar planks and fish (which can also be purchased at a grocery store if you’re not an avid angler) you can

begin the preparation process.For starters, the piece of cedar

plank to be used must be water-logged.

Immerse the wood in a sink or tub of water by weighting it down with some form of heavy object.

The thicker the piece of wood, the longer you want to immerse it so it won’t catch fire once you are grilling the fish.

To be on the safe side, I prefer to keep the wood in water for at least 10 hours.

In preparing the fish, whenever I use a trout or salmon that’s caught in fresh water, I like to marinade it in a salt brine solution for at least

one day by applying three parts of water to one part of salt.

If the fish you will be using is from saltwater, then just proceed with the marinating process.

While there are no rules as to what to use in a marinade, a sim-ple one is to take a fillet, with the skin removed, and place it in a pan coated with extra virgin olive oil.

Coat the top of the fillet with freshly squeezed lemon juice, crushed black pepper, pieces of chopped onion, fresh dill and taragon.

Let the fish sit in the marinade for at least an hour in the refrigera-tor.

Once your piece of cedar is waterlogged, apply sea salt onto the top of the board.

Place your marinaded piece of fish on top of the board.

When your grill is fully heated, put the board inside and let it cook for around 20 minutes.

You should be able to smell the aroma of the cedar as the fish is slowly cooking.

If cooking steaks, which are thicker in nature, allow for an extra five to 10 minutes.

As a safety precaution, be sure to have a water bottle near the grill in case the board accidently catch-es fire.

Your delectable delight will be ready once the flesh flakes off.

Preparing and grilling cedar planked salmon or trout is fun and can be addictive.

Especially during the summer months when grilling is a popular activity.

It also has me looking forward to my next angling expedition for salmon or trout and visualizing the rewards that come with it — right on my dinner plate.

Mayors get advice on communications infrastructure

By Simon [email protected]

Hwy. 404, Davis Drive and Yonge Street aren’t the only thor-oughfares local politicians are try-ing to keep congestion free.

The northern six York Region communities — Aurora, East Gwil-limbury, King, Georgina, Newmar-ket and Whitchurch-Stouffville — are increasingly concerned with improving access to the informa-tion superhighway.

The mayors of Fredericton, Waterloo and Stratford were at York Region headquarters this week championing the success of intelligent infrastructure to the northern six mayors.

The meeting was part of the so-called N6 municipalities’ intel-ligent community assessment process.

“Ultra high-speed broadband is a mandatory piece of infrastruc-ture,” Newmarket Mayor Tony Van Bynen said. “Stratford, Waterloo

York’s northern 6 municipalities working together to draft plan

‘You have to connect businesses to the rest of the

world or businesses won’t come here.’

Brad WoodsideFredericton mayor

and Fredericton are a good start-ing point for us.”

It was good to hear the mayors talk about what a difference the infrastructure investment made, Mr. Van Bynen said.

“You have to connect business-es to the rest of the world or busi-nesses won’t come here,” Frederic-ton Mayor Brad Woodside said. “I have no horse in the race. I’m just here to share knowledge.”

Fredericton has long been on the cutting edge of intelligent infrastructure, being the first city in Canada totally wired for fibre optic service and offering free high-speed wireless Internet to all residents.

The result of his city’s invest-ment in intelligent infrastructure has been the creation of a burgeon-ing high-tech sector, Mr. Woodside said.

millionaires created

Radian6 and Q1 Labs are two tech giants that have fuelled Fred-ericton’s growth, he said.

“[Fredericton] created 40 mil-lionaires. Those opportunities exist right here,” Mr. Van Bynen said.

Fredericton created its own telecom company, e-Novations, to

help deliver services to city resi-dents, a strategy Mr. Van Bynen would not rule out.

“We need to do whatever it takes if it’s critical to the health and growth of our community,” he said, citing the success of Newmar-ket Hydro as an example of how it could work.

Stratford has a unique approach to free wireless, forcing users through a 30-second commercial to get airtime, Aurora Mayor Geof-frey Dawe said.

Access to ultra high-speed Inter-net is much like the rivers, railways and highways of the past, Mr. Van Bynen said, noting the northern six could be at a competitive disad-vantage without it.

The next step in the process of upgrading local communications

infrastructure is for each munici-pality to develop a business plan.

The hope is to have meetings at the end of July and September, Mr. Dawe said.

“Cost is certainly the great unknown,” he said. “If we want to attract high technology industries, we will have to provide the tech-nology.”

Mr. Van Bynen said he is opti-mistic there might be a strategy for implementing the infrastructure in place by September or October.

This week’s meeting stemmed from the Business and Bandwidth

conference May 23 and 24, in which the six municipalities, chambers of commerce and York Region’s Small Business Enterprise Centre partici-pated.

cohesive group

The northern six municipalities have developed into a cohesive, co-operative group, King Mayor Steve Pellegrini said.

Going forward, the municipali-ties will probably put forth seed money to hire a project co-ordi-nator to get the initiative going, he said.

Town grew too quicklyRe: Builder, residents differ

on density, July 12, and Proposal too high for neighbours, July 14.

It is with interest I read these articles regarding new housing projects being pro-posed, much to the chagrin of residents.

Of particular concern to me is the proposal by PACE Savings and Credit Union to demolish existing buildings at the south-east corner of Main and Lloyd streets where a seven-storey, 86-unit condominium apart-ment building is to be erected.

If permission is granted by our council, the proposed red clay brick, veneer building will be the tallest in town and will do nothing to contribute to or enhance the historic small town character of Stouffville.

As a resident in the immedi-ate neighbourhood, I consider this proposal to be irrespon-sible and selfish.

The addition of 86 house-holds on this site will only add

to traffic congestion and park-ing problems.

Downtown Main Street has become a heavily travelled road in recent years and parking is at a premium.

Local business people may be excited at the prospect of adding hundreds of new resi-dents to the neighbourhood as potential consumers but there is no guarantee the new resi-dents will necessarily frequent downtown businesses. They may choose to get into their vehicles and drive to the big box stores and chain restaurants, as so many others do now.

This town has witnessed too much growth in too short a time.

Politicians, planners and developers need to take a step back and consider the impact growth will have now and in the future for all of residents.

Individual and corporate greed shouldn’t get in the way of smart growth.

t used to be that diplomats and foreign dignitaries were the only ones who flew flags from their cars.

The flags were like a warn-ing to others that they were on their way home from a function in a lim-ousine and they may even be drunk. But they don’t care because they have diplomatic immunity, so look out!

But all that has changed. Now anybody can fly a flag with the plas-tic mounting doohickey and I think everybody should.

In fact, I might have to give in myself and get one of those car-mounted flags, the ones that fly off those little plastic deals you affix to the window to broadcast your alle-giances to the world.

The ones people flew in these parts during the Euro Cup of futbal.

The ones that carry Toronto Maple Leafs flags — for a few hopeful weeks every October.

It’s hard to explain why I’m giving in now, after all these years.

I guess you’d say I can just feel the peer pressure from other drivers. It’s intense. Or maybe I just feel like I’ve been missing out on something.

Although in my case maybe I should just fly a white flag, to signify “I surrender”, I got the car flag, now

Battle of allegiances? Time to break out white flag

leave me alone.The problem is I’ve always been too

bashful to pull up beside somebody at an intersection and they’ve got one flag and I’ve got the other and there’s five of them in their car and just me in mine and the light’s taking forever to change and somehow I look over and make eye contact — never make eye contact! — and anyway, they stomp on my car and rip off my antenna (my car’s antenna, that is) and drive away.

Perhaps I could just have a flag with the word “undecided” on it, so no one gives me dirty looks.

“Too shy to reveal team allegiance” might work on a flag, if you could fit in all the words.

“Lover of all teams, fan of sports

in general” would cover a lot of bases without offending anyone. You’d have to scrunch up the type to fit it on there.

“Winning isn’t everything” or “It’s not about winning, it’s about participating and making friends” would send the right message for some of us parents as an example to our kids.

Admittedly, once the Olympics arrive, many York Region residents will be flying flags of countries other than Canada, even though we are here, in Canada, all of us together, trying to make this all work.

This used to bother me quite a bit, I admit — that we would fly the flags of countries other than our own.

Of course I must have been home with the flu the day we studied flags of the world in grade school or I just have a hard time differentiating between flags — horizontal stripes, vertical stripes, of every colour, hammers, sickles, stars and more stripes — because half the time I don’t know which country other than Canada they are championing. (For all I knew they are supporting scuba diving or the Rotary Club.)

But they are flying someone else’s flag, not the good old red and white with the maple leaf in the middle.

Should I let that bother me?Perhaps this is what being a multi-

cultural country with hundreds of thou-

Isands of dual citizens is all about.

You can cheer for the country you came from with a clear conscience — your right to have more than one cul-ture has the official backing of the gov-ernment and besides, except for First Nations people, we have all come here, or our ancestors have come here, in the recent past, relatively speaking.

Nothing wrong with giving props to the homeland, no?

I guess I have mellowed, taken a dif-ferent perspective — as in, as long as their income taxes are being deducted at source, they can cheer for whomever they want.

And besides, it’s all in good fun — I’m sure they still love Canada, peaceful land of taxpayer funded health care, surrounded on three sides by ocean and bordering on a benevolent but possibly waning superpower to the south.

Trust me, if and when Canada does win a gold medal or two at the sum-mer Olympics, I will be as proud as anyone — proud that we have a great and free country but also proud that so many people want to call Canada home — even if some have an odd way of showing it.

collected will essentially assist the town with keeping facilities updated and maintained,” wrote Marc Pourvahidi, the town’s treasurer and director of finance in the July 17 report to council.

In September 2001, council of the day awarded the newly built facility’s naming rights to the Joseph Lebovic Charitable Foun-dation for 10 years. The contract expired Aug. 31, 2011.

The deal was worth $500,000.Last year, the town advertised the facil-

ity’s naming rights were up for grabs, but no expressions of interest were received, accord-ing to the council report.

Town staff also continued negotiating with the Lebovic foundation.

“Unfortunately, the outcome of the nego-tiation was not favourable and no commit-ment for additional contribution could be secured,” Mr. Pourvahidi wrote.

On Tuesday, staff presented council with three options: continue with the current name, in perpetuity, with no additional pay-ment; advertise for competitive bids for future naming rights; or remove third-party names and call it the Whitchurch-Stouffville Leisure Centre.

No developers were approached by staff because “generally staff do not get involved in those types of discussions unless directed,”

Mr. Pourvahidi told Mayor Wayne Emmerson when asked about this.

“Any member of council can call any devel-oper they want and ask if they want to put a name on a building,” the mayor said when councillors also noted they, too, did not reach out to developers on this issue.

Fieldgate Development has the naming rights to the facility’s internal fitness centre in perpetuity.

The lone building with the Lebovic name attached to it is the Lebovic Centre for Arts and Entertainment - Nineteen on the Park, which is about two blocks away from the lei-sure facility, on the edge of Memorial Park.

‘exceptional philanthropy’

Calls to Whitchurch-Stouffville-based Leb-ovic Homes were not returned.

The company’s website, lebovichomes.com, notes the builder is “... well known for its exceptional philanthropy. The Canadian Cancer Society, Centenary Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital and York University have all benefited from the generosity of the Levovics, whose donations have exceeded millions of dollars. The late Harry Lebovic, father of Joe and Willy, founded the company.”

The brothers regularly donate 20 per cent of their entire annual earnings to charity.

Their contribution of $50 million to Mount Sinai was the largest gift ever made to a Canadian hospital, according to a story on the site.

The Joseph Lebovic Charita-ble Foundation didn’t renew its option on the naming rights of Stouffville’s leisure centre – which will be renamed.

drownings nationwide decreased last year, the number of drownings among teenagers increased 18 per cent, many due to youths trying to help their friends and putting their own lives at risk, Ms Byers said.

The society has developed a new pro-gram aimed at this particularly vulnerable group. Called Swim to Survive+, the program teaches Grade 7 students how to survive an unexpected fall into deep water while wear-ing clothes and teaches the basic skills to help a friend in deep water.

no life jackets, training

The idea for a teen-oriented program was mobilized by last year’s drownings in Whitchurch-Stouffville. Sabrina Alibhai, 15, and Gift Diji, 16, were paddling in a dinghy on Musselman’s Lake when one of the girls, a weaker swimmer, apparently went into the water and her friend tried to save her.

“That incident really resonated with us,” Ms Byers said. “A lot went wrong.”

Witnesses said the girls were not wear-ing life jackets, did not have proper boating equipment or training and were without supervision, a scenario Ms Byers said is com-mon among teenagers.

A recent coroner’s report lists a disturb-ing number of similar incidents, from the young female immigrant, a non-swimmer, who drowned while swimming with friends at a public beach at night, to the 18-year-old male who ignored rough water signs at a provincial park and disappeared under

the waves and the 19-year-old female who, though a strong swimmer, drowned after drinking on a boat.

Swim to Survive+ follows the 2010 Chief Coroner’s Drowning Review recommenda-tion for advanced water safety programs before children reach high school.

Michael McGee, who teaches swimming in his back yard Aurora pool, thinks it’s a good idea.

“It’s an age where they’re influenced by friends, and spending time at cottages.”

Yorick Tong, aquatic supervisor in Whitchurch-Stouffville, said most people will instinctively try to help a friend in dis-tress, but few are prepared for what happens next.

“Even an adult is not as strong as they think, especially when someone’s panicking in the water and climb on you to get above water to breathe. It’s not like the rescues you see on TV.”

A similar drowning prevention program, Swim to Survive, has been successful with Grade 3 students, he said and reduced drownings among children in that age group.

The Plus program would help older chil-dren with more realistic scenarios, including the experience of falling into water wearing clothes.

“It’s quite dramatic, the difference between wearing jeans and a hoodie versus a bathing suit,” said Brook Beatty, aquatic co-ordinator at Vaughan’s Garnet A. Williams Centre outdoor pool in Thornhill.

It’s a skill taught in the bronze swimming level, but is valuable to everyone, especially

newcomers to Canada, said Ms Byers.Immigrants often have different knowl-

edge or experiences around issues of water safety and a family that isn’t comfortable with swimming may choose to simply avoid water, she said.

“That strategy may be effective (although not advisable) when kids are young, but not when they’re older. ... There’s so much water in Ontario, it’s not possible to stay away, which is why you need to know what to do if someone gets into difficulty.”

Adrian Wong, Markham’s community recreation co-ordinator, said this summer’s warm weather and beckoning lakes can be deceptive because hypothermia can still occur in water that is 20 C.

A 22-year-old man was taken to hospital with hypothermia after being rescued in Lake Ontario Sunday.

The challenge with any water safety pro-

gram will be to get pre-teens to “buy in”, Mr. Wong said. “We need to find a way to market it or build a rapport with schools.”

Peer pressure is a big factor, agreed Stouffville lifeguard Aleena Dipede, 19, “but even if swimming is not your thing, it’s an important life skill”.

Jayne Morrish, research co-ordinator with Parachute (formerly of SMARTRISK), blames adolescent brain development.

“Their social/emotional network takes control and they’re looking for ways to get a rush from those behaviours,” she said. “They overestimate their ability and infallibility ... and seek immediate rewards.”

boys seek risks

Boys especially seek risks — jumping from the highest cliff, for example — because of “complex interaction between behaviours and society” and it usually doesn’t change until age 25, she said.

More than 1,000 teenagers have already participated in the pilot version of the Swim to Survive+ program, Ms Byers said. The society is seeking $1 million in funding to roll out the course provincewide.

Meantime, parents can help keep their teenage children safe by setting a good example, Ms Morrish said.

“If you show them you are being safe, they won’t think it’s not as important or only a child’s game and when they grow up, they don’t have to anymore.”

She also encourages teenagers to under-stand how to take risks as safely as possible and to instill key messages, such as “look first”, “wear the gear” and “get trained”.

From page 1.

4Ontario drownings so far this year: 54, of which 17 occurred while swimming (versus 11 last year), 24 after falling into water (versus 19 last year).

4In 2011, there were 26 drownings among 13 to 17-year-olds (versus 22 in 2010).

4New Canadians — particularly those living here less than five years — are at higher risk of drowning and four times more likely to be unable to swim than those born in Canada.

A couple of Stouffville residents laid the lumber on the Stouffville Mennos in their Oshawa City and District Fastball League game at Memorial Park Thursday.

Andy Skelton, a pitcher with the Scarborough Athletics who was on loan to Aurora Shoeless Joe’s for the game, and Evan Boyd hit home runs to power Aurora to a 12-3 win over the Mennos.

Skelton swatted his round-tripper, a two-run shot, in the first inning while Boyd clubbed a three-round homer in the second.

Greg Dalgarno was the starting pitcher for the Mennos and took the loss. Travis Connor and Byron Baranieski relieved Dalgarno.

All three Mennos’ pitchers combined to surren-der 11 hits and seven walks.

Not helping matters for the Mennos was their defence, which committed three errors.

The Mennos scored one run in the fourth and two in the fifth inning. Jay Nesbitt delivered two hits and drove in two runs for the Mennos and Cam Weatern had two hits.

George Karkambasis was the winning pitcher for Aurora.

Now 5-10 on the season, the Mennos play in Oshawa against the Rebels Tuesday and are idle for the remainder of the week.

The Stouffville-Port Perry Power peewee boys’ rep fastball team will be making a trip to Placentia, Nfld. next month to compete in the Eastern Canadian championships.

That all came about when Brandon Till drove in the winning run in the bottom of the eighth inning to ignite the Power to a 5-4 win over Campbellford in the Ontario Ama-teur Softball Association Peewee Elimination Tournament in Toanche Sunday.

The victory guaranteed the Power of a berth in the Eastern Canadian champion-ships and sent them to the gold medal game against Belleville, where they came out on the short end of a 4-3 verdict and settled for the silver medal.

In their win over Campbellford, the Power overcame a 1-0 deficit in their half of the sec-ond inning when Jackson Savery was hit by a pitch, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice fly from Spen-cer Bricknell to tie the score.

The Power then took a 2-1 lead in the fifth when Quintino Zarlenga singled and advanced to second base on a single from Matt Burkholder.

DRAMATIC VICTORY

After a sacrifice bunt advanced the run-ners, Zarlenga scored on a wild pitch.

Campbellford answered back with the tying run to set the stage for the wild extra inning battle. Campbellford manufactured two runs in the top of the eighth to leave the Power facing a huge challenge.

With Burkholder starting the inning on second under international tiebreaker rules, they narrowed the gap to 4-3 on singles by Ryan Easterbrook-Beck and Josh Kelly.

After Campbellford intentionally walked Kevin Matthews, Savery drew a based-loaded

walk to knot the score, setting the stage for Till’s heroics. Matthews went the distance to earn the win.

The Power opened the tournament with a 2-0 win over Napanee.

Kelly and Bricknell each collected a pair of singles while Ben Kerry, Sam Griffen and Matthews each had one. Kerry’s four stolen bases played a big part in the offence. Kelly went the distance scattering three hits to pick up the win.

HOMERS, STOLEN BASES

Later that day, the Power mercied Cobourg 12-1. Daniel Wynn walked three times and scored three runs to lead the offence. East-erbrook-Beck collected three singles, while Kerry had two doubles, Savery doubled and singled, Kelly tripled and Till added a single. Matthews scattered three hits and gave up one unearned run to earn the win.

Facing host Toanche Saturday, the Power overcame a three-run deficit through three innings to emerge with a 9-6 win.

Kerry collected three singles while Savery doubled and tripled, Kelly doubled twice, and Till, Bricknell and Zarlenga each collected singles. Matthews picked up the win.

In the game to decide who would auto-matically advance to the Eastern Canadian Championships, the Power lost an error-filled 9-8 decision to Belleville.

Kelly delivered a home run and two sin-gles, Savery homered and singled, Till and Easterbrook-Beck each had a pair of singles, Burkholder doubled, while Matthews, Zar-lenga and Bricknell each singled.

Matthews took the loss with Kelly in relief. The setback forced the Power to play

Campbellford for the second berth to the Eastern Canadian Championships.

STRYPE, Shirley Marie

of Ballantrae, ON passed away on Friday

June 22, 2012 at the Markham Stouffville

Hospital.

She will be dearly missed by her three children, Richard Strype, Douglas Strype and Phyllis Lamont, her eight grandchildren and her six great-grandchildren. As a self-described tom-boy, Shirley grew up playing sports, with her favourite being downhill skiing, and spending summers at the cottage. She met the love of her life, Bart Strype in high school and married him on March 8th, 1946. With Bart at her side, the two of them started playing bridge, curling and golfi ng (even with Shirley's very unique way of holding her golf club) - they were inseparable. Shirley loved horses, was an avid rider and volunteered with CARD and helped out with Aphasia for many years. She was a very thoughtful and caring person who never hesitated to lend a hand. Shirley was predeceased in death by her husband Bart and her brother Ted Hamm. A very small gathering will be held at Shirley's house (5 Golden Bear, Stouffville) on Wednesday, July 25th, from 12-2 p.m., close friends are welcome.

Regarding Delbert GilbertThank you....

It is with heartfelt gratitude that the family of Delbert Gilbert thank all our family, friends and neighbours, who sent cards, fl owers, meals and provided support and love during our time of loss.A special thank you to Dr. Patterson and the wonderful staff at Parkview Nursing Home.
