During his National Hockey League draft year, Trevor Carrick showed the pro scouts what he could do on the ice as a member of the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors this past Ontario Hockey League season and the prior sea-

son with the Stouffville Spirit of the Ontario Junior Hockey League.

With the NHL entry draft to be held in Pittsburgh June 22 and 23, the NHL clubs wanted to learn a bit more about the 17-year-old Stouffville native before they made their selections.

The six-foot, two-inch, 175-

pound defenceman felt he gave those decision makers all they wanted to know about him during the recent four-day NHL pre-draft combine in Toronto.

The youngest of three broth-ers who have played in the OHL (Sam, captain of the Brampton Battalion last season and Jake, a

former member of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and Windsor Spitfires), Carrick was the first in his family to earn such an invita-tion to the combine.

He earned the invite — after NHL Central Scouting jump-start-ed him to No. 44 in its final ranking

testing

Military parade ‘once in lifetiMe’

By SaNDRa [email protected]

With bayonets fixed, drums beating and colours flying, the Governor General’s Horse Guards will receive the Freedom of the Town Saturday morning from Mayor Wayne Emmerson.

A number of past and present military vehicles will make their way along Main Street, along with about 100 soldiers and roughly 15 calvary on horse en route to the ceremony in Civic Square.

“It’s going to be pretty cool,” said Oak Ridges-Markham MP Paul Calandra, who spearhead-ed this event. “They’ll see some good pageantry. A lot of fun. ... Get up close with the soldiers and the horses.”

“It’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I don’t think Stouffville has had a military parade of this magnitude before,” said Owen Macri, special assis-tant to Mr. Calandra.

The event is being held in con-junction with The War of 1812’s 200th anniversary.

Put more funds into schools: critics

By Kristen Calis, JessiCa Cunha and rosie-ann Grover

Metroland Staff

T he best way to end the Ontario school system’s reliance on fundraising is to pour more money into

public education, parents, teachers and critics say.

“We are getting increasingly (to be) a two-tiered education system,” NDP education critic Peter Tabuns said. “That speaks to the need for adequate funding of the education system so parents don’t feel com-pelled to raise money.”

Fundraising Fever, a Metroland Special Report, shows that concerns about overuse of fundraising — and the disparities it creates — are grow-ing provincewide.

Potential solutions also include a proposal by the advocacy group, People for Education, which wants a provincial Equity in Education grant created to reduce inequities triggered by fundraising. School boards are pushing for an evaluation of provincial education funding to determine if the current model is fair to all students.

“The pressure to fundraise will only grow as boards try to meet the austerity measures of provincial gov-ernments,” said Catherine Fife, pres-ident of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association. “We can’t go to our parent councils or school coun-cils and keep asking for money.”

There’s no question money is tight. The McGuinty government is starting consultations this fall to cut $10 million from school board administration budgets by 2013-14.

There is a lot of waste in the sys-tem and boards don’t always spend their funding appropriately, Progres-sive Conservative education critic Lisa MacLeod said.

“They’ll claim they have no money, but are they managing the

money effectively?” she said.Some groups, including Social

Planning Toronto, believe fundraising should be banned outright, except for raising dollars for external charities.

“I’d rather not have it,” said Chris Ellis, who sits on four school councils in Ottawa. “I’d like for schools to not be able to raise funds for their own use so then parents in those affluent areas might become involved and speak up for greater funding for the education system.”

The Coalition Against Public School Inequality suggested a cap on

school fundraising. A percentage of each school’s profits, above and beyond the limit, would go into an equalization fund to help disad-vantaged schools.

But the Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations stated a limit would be too restric-tive.

“We actually don’t want some-body to say you have to stop here. It’s up to the parents to decide how much they want to do or whether they’ve had enough,” group presi-dent Lee Gowers said.

Raising property taxes is a con-troversial solution, but “that’s how you address inequity, unpopularly, through taxes,” said Annie Kidder, executive director of People for Education. “At some point, we have to bite the bullet and go, ‘That’s what taxes pay for.’ If we want kids to have books in their libraries, we have to pay taxes.”

Critics say the province should outline exactly what materials, activi-ties and programs should be avail-able — at no cost to parents — in all Ontario schools. Currently, it is OK to raise funds for library books, gym equipment and musical instruments.

“You need to start with the policy and the vision and laying out concretely what should be there in schools,” Ms Kidder said. “Then you start talking about how you fund it to ensure it’s fair and equitable.”

There is also interest in a board-wide mentorship program where successful fundraising schools part-ner with those needing a hand, help-ing to reduce the gap in funds raised.

“To me, that’s how successful fundraising can be done, really shar-ing best practices,” said parent Rox-anne Horwitz, who sits on St. Berna-dette Catholic School council in Ajax.

Education foundations across the province continue to play a role,

helping to reduce inequities in opportunity between well-off and disadvantaged schools. There is no severe pressure on schools to raise funds for things such as field trips because many foundations will cover those costs.

“Having a central education foundation completely changes the landscape for children in a city,” said Jane Fulton, executive direc-tor of the Education Foundation of Ottawa. “We make sure that no student is left out.”

Small businesses and large corporations continue to work to bridge the gap by providing dona-tions and incentive programs.

“That’s what we are counting on, businesses in the community,” said Luce Paradis, principal at Assump-tion Catholic School in Ottawa.

The school is in a low-income area and doesn’t usually host fund-raisers. Without corporate dona-tions, it wouldn’t reach its goal of $50,000 for a new play structure.

“We have to outsource a little.” The Campbell’s Labels For Edu-

cation program, for example, invites schools to collect labels from Camp-bell’s products such as soup cans and Goldfish crackers and redeem them for educational resources from books to gym equipment.

Companies such as Chapters, Boston Pizza and McDonald’s host special events that encourage par-ents to purchase their products, then give a portion of sales back to schools.

Others, such as the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, believe businesses don’t belong in public schools.

“It’s a tempting road because it’s a quick fix to the funding situation,” said Kawartha Pine Ridge ETFO president David Wing. “Children are already bombarded enough with commercial messages.”

Diatribes against dandelions difficult to understand

Re: Dandelion ‘disaster’ growing con-cern, May 26.

Lately, the locals of Stouffville are in a panic over dandelions. At least that’s the impression I’ve got when reading the local paper.

Yikes, Attack of the Dandelions. Apparently they are attacking and strangling the local children.

Me? I’m not enamoured by them, but I’m also less than impressed by the chemically derived monoculture lawns they replace. Ontario enacted a ban on the cosmetic use of pesticides; Ontario lawns are experiencing the awful symp-toms of withdrawal. I sympathize.

Fifteen years ago when I moved to my home on Musselman’s Lake, I with-drew chemical assistance voluntarily. I never did like Astroturf and I wanted to spend what little disposable income I had on frivolous things like annual and perennial flowers and shrubs.

A lawn is something green to walk on as far I am concerned. It can take care of itself.

But a lawn that has been treated with chemicals, mowed regularly with-in inches of its life and raked clean of all nutrients is not a healthy lawn. Remove chemical assistance and the disaster underfoot is exposed. Dandelions take advantage of the sterile wasteland and make the most of the sunshine, pep-pering our world with eye-ball searing yellow.

For most of us, a sea of school-bus yellow is not a pretty sight.

But I’m still having trouble under-standing the latest diatribes against dandelions. People can be allergic to all kinds of things. Grass, birch trees, dogs and cats are some of the most common allergens and no one is trying to rid the

Editorial

The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, and town council specifically, deserves praise for the inventory of facilities it has erected during the last 15 years.

The long list includes a new library, indoor pool, fitness centre, arts centre, ice pads, splash pads, ball and soccer fields and parks.

The facilities are especially child-friendly.

On the other hand, our town has not been very senior-friendly.

One only has to look at last week’s meeting on a proposed seniors’ centre for town hall and the state of the current downtown facility for evidence.

About 140 seniors packed the coun-cil chamber, with more in the hallway watching a presentation on a big-screen TV, which detailed the adaptive re-use of the municipal building’s vacant space and the 55 Plus Club’s move into it.

When the meeting ended, some of the seniors booed council, which voted four to two in favour of deferring the seniors centre move into town hall, while staff investigate all other reason-able options, including an interim solu-tion.

The issue of finding a location to house the more than 300 members of the 55 Plus Club is back in staff’s hands with a report expected to council in September.

Some seniors cried. Others muttered their disapproval.

It all seemed so complete, such a done deal. What happened?

It was last November, when coun-cil directed staff to consult with the community’s seniors about relocating them from the Silver Jubilee, a former post office building at Main and Market streets, to town hall.

Since that time, something drastic has changed. Something that caught the seniors, who had visions of their expanded space and programs dancing in their heads.

The price certainly grew, from an original estimate of $2.5 million to $4.13 million.

Bottom line? What was an election issue in 2010

appears destined to be an election issue again in 2014, sadly, barring a quick solution.

Our growing seniors population outgrew the former post office years ago. They need an accessible building with proper space and parking to run programming. They’re not asking for another leisure centre or pool.

They deserve more. They deserve to be treated better.

They had been patient long enough. Until last week.

Our seniorsdeserve better

Letters to the Editorworld of them.

My earliest memory of a dandelion is thinking “pretty” and then picking profusions to turn into a green and gold tiara.

And, although I have yet to do my own taste test, I hear they are delicious in salad, as well as a lovely wine.

We have maintained a chemical free lawn for the past 15 years. It is lush and green. Our lawn care consists of mow-ing high with a mulching mower and leaving all clippings behind to nourish the soil.

The presence of clover adds nitro-gen, a natural fertilizer, to the earth and pleases the bees, butterflies and myself with sweet smelling flowers.

This year, I found a wild strawberry, and I hope to make a tiny tasty harvest. With all this competition, the dande-lions are minimal and our lawn looks and smells fabulous and feels great underfoot.

It is extremely funny, well performed, current and just an all-round great eve-ning right in downtown Stouffville.

If you can still get a ticket we encour-age you to go. And try one of the local restaurants, too.

We are both still laughing.

Off The Top

with Jim Mason

Around the time of the Col-umbine massacre, a youth pastor addressed a large, standing-room-only gathering at the Stouffville Country Market.

That was more than 20 years ago, but I remember at least part of the timely message like it was deliv-ered last night.

“Make family memories” was the gist of the advice.

The minister from the Midwest, who was also a dad himself, told the parents who dominated the audi-ence to make a connection with their kids by taking the time to do special things with them.

Bottom line, they won’t remem-ber being driven to hockey practice every Saturday or being handed a peanut butter sandwich at the door each morning.

But, they will recall, vividly, going to Disney or stepping on a cruise ship, he was saying.

Not that everyone can afford such vacations, especially during these economic times, as I remem-bered so vividly recently.

It was back in the 1960s and our family hadn’t planned a summer vacation. Money was tighter than normal, but the need to escape was stronger than ever.

The compromise resulted in a vacation all four of us still talk about more than 40 years later.

Instead of a week at a lakeside resort or an uptown hotel, we tent-ed on a small lake in suburban Min-neapolis.

We cooked most of our own meals, swam, chatted up people from across the States, ate some more, toured a nearby brewery and sat in the bleachers for a bunch of Minnesota Twins’ games.

Most of all, we spent time togeth-er, away from the duties of daily life, including the dial phone and black-and-white TV, doing fun stuff.

The pastor was right. We were making memories for a lifetime.

In one word, it's Chocolate! All kinds of it, in all shapes and sizes — and combos. Apparentlyfathers just love chocolate, so our Father's Day baking will be 'Everything Chocolate' — andmostly decorated in sports themes. We'll be making...TURTLE CHEESECAKES I'm telling you now that Turtles® have always been a weakness ofmine, and so is cheesecake — so when they are combined, I turn into putty in anyones hands. I'vemade a study and what I've discovered is that Turtles® are best enjoyed at a ball game (thankyou Kim), where it's warm enough to make them soft and sticky — and the same would be truewith cheesecakes — full flavour occurs when they've been left to warm a bit. Two sizes $15.95 &$23.95CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKES This is our rich chocolate cake that's filled and glazed withGanache — very chocolatey and rich, and apparently not too sweet. Also two sizes, $15.95 &$22.95CHOCOLATE FROSTED CAKES This is the same cake as above, but with a bit sweeter icing, incase dad's like sweet. Also two sizes $15.95 & $22.95HOLE IN ONE CAKES It's actually our white cake with a green turf finish on it, with the golfball (and the cup), taken just as the ball is about to go in the hole. The beauty here is that youdon't have to buy all the drinks like you would on a real course! Two sizes: Executive is $12.95 &Regulation is $19.95CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM CAKES Something new and exciting, just in time for thisweekend. We have developed a new buttercream that really melts in your mouth. It's a layeredchocolate cake with a hint of cherry — and apparently I ate the whole sample myself. Also twosizes $15.95 & $22.95BLUE VELVET CAKE This is our red velvet made blue in honour of Father's Day. It has thesame velvety mouth feel as the red, and the icing is robin's egg blue, just like a '57 Chevy. Alsotwo sizes $16.95 & $24.95CHECKERBOARD CAKE We make this with vanilla and chocolate cakes alternating in acheckerboard pattern inside and outside — just like the F1 finish flag. Two sizes $17.95 & $26.95(more because it's a lot of work!)BLACK AND WHITE MOUSSE CAKES This has white and dark chocolate mousse alternatingwith vanilla and dark chocolate cake, all decorated for Dad with tuxedo strawberries. Also two

sizes $22.95 & $29.95FRUIT FLANS This has a shortbread crust going on, with our decadentcustard, loaded with fresh fruit and berries. One size $24.95And...Loretta tells me that we will have lots of Key Lime, CoconutCream, and Banana Cream Pies. And we will have, in addition to ourregular selection of cheesecakes, jelly rolls, fruit pies and, are you ready,Eclairs (not the donut shop type), Croissants and Double ChocolateMuffins. Our little bakery is very busy, especially on holidays, so ifyour heart is set on a particular item, please order it early to avoid anydisappointment.

I call these Bonfire Shrimp, and thereason for that will become apparent.They are raw shrimps in the shell, soyou will need to take a small sharpknife or a pair of kitchen shears to cutdown the back of them to remove thevein, being careful to leave the shellon. You then make a marinade in asteep-sided bowl so they actually swimin it. The marinade that I use is oliveoil, garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, saltand pepper. I usually let them marinatefor a few hours, or even overnight, if Ican plan that far ahead. To cook them,place them on the grill in a fairly closeformation, then pour about 1/2 themarinade over them...and stand back,an inferno will ensue that will rid youof most of your facial hair if you arenot careful. When the fire dies down,gingerly turn them over and repeatthe process with the remainder of themarinade. When this second bonfiredies down, they will be cooked. You'llneed to shell them when you eat them,so have a small bowl,as well as a handclothat hand.

BEEF CHOPS– TEXAS –

This is the one week of the year that we feature theserather Neanderthal steaks. I have no idea what theproper technical CFIA name would be for these, butthere are one or two of these cut from the blade endof each prime rib, one bone thick (about 2”) and theyare all trimmed except the eye of meat (rib eye) andthe rib bone... ....which allows you a handle on these,more or less! Are they good? Well, they are cut fromthe more tender end of the rib, and they are cut frombeef that I have personally picked at the meat plant fortenderness and flavour. How to cook them? There area couple of ways. The first would be to start them ona pretty hot ’que and really singe them, turn the heatdown a bit and cook them altogether about 20-25min, depending on how thick your particular steak

physical examination – there’s nothing worse.

It’s not the performers I loathe. It’s the repellent service they perform. Yet, for all its awfulness, it’s something each of us,

regardless of sex, must seemingly experience. Even as often as once a year.

No wonder some patients prefer to live out their lives without a health check.

I say good for them. At least they can depart this planet knowing they’ve never been systematically probed, poked, pummeled and prodded.

It’s hard to believe this kind of physical mistreatment can be a positive proof of well-ness or illness.

But who am I to question the exper-tise of those whose privileged graduation diplomas enhances their office walls? I only wish one of these prized pieces of parch-ment could be mine.

My date with adversity was June 4. Although the 365-day warranty actually ended May 31, I was told this period must extend past the statute of limitations in order to qualify for no-cost inspection. Fair enough.

With doctors being as busy as they are, it was somewhat surprising I could be accommodated so quickly. Others, even feebler, have been known to wait for weeks. Possibly an unexpected cancellation.

When it comes to physicals, every doctor is different. I’ve run the gamut from the serious to the docile. Per-sonally, I prefer the resolute, those MDs who tell it like it is, nothing secret. Like, if the weigh scale reads 350, you’re too stout. If your blood pressure hits 150, it’s too high or if you wheeze when you breathe, you smoke.

While the truth often hurts, better to know it now than never. That’s when the truth doesn’t hurt. That’s when you’re dead.

But what about the practice of mingling the sexes? I mean male doctors checking out the physical attri-butes of female patients. Kind of intimidating don’t you think? The same goes for female physicians scru-tinizing the distinctiveness of male patients. Can tie nerves in a knot.

Call it fate or fancy, at one time or another, it’s hap-pened to us all. Strange as it may seem, I’ve yet to hear a single complaint. Certainly, not from me although admittedly it did make me feel kind of funny.

So how was my day in the doctor’s den? About as placid as a walk in the park.

On arrival, the waiting room was packed. “Should have brought my supper,” I said to myself.”

To my surprise, at precisely 4 p.m., I heard the call. My time had come. No turning back.

The good doctor went straight to work, sizing me up and sizing me down. Would you believe in a single year I’ve shrunk one inch and lost five pounds. OK, I guess. We all shrink a little as we age. But not every-one loses weight.

“A needle today?” I asked.“Not unless you want one,” he replied. I shook my

head — sideways, not up and down.In a procedure that seemed almost automatic, he

took my pressure and felt my pulse. Before leaving, he blew wax from both ears.

That was it. He even declined to give me the cus-tomary goose. Thank goodness. However, the worst is yet to come — 11 impending blood checks.

With my kind of luck, the needle will be wielded by a male nurse.

?DO YOU PLAY BALLIf you were interested in playing Slo-Pitch in one of the best leagues around, and you are over 25,( and a good sport), the Unionville Mens Slo-Pitch League has some vacancies for this upcoming season. For more info either see me (Evan) or hit 'http://www.leaguelineup.com/uspl' for info and the application form.

This week's soup feature is Cream of Potato with Bacon. This is a chicken-stock based soup with lots of potatoes, onions, some celery.....and, of course, the bacon, all cooked down and pureed into a cream soup. It's quite hearty, and in my opinion, delicious. Serves 3-4. Reg. $6.99

A SQUARE DEAL!Actually, these are not quite square, but they have the market cornered on decadence, that's for sure. They are all made right here in our little bakery, and the recipes are a collection from various archives that we have collected (and perfected) over the years. The flavours will be.....Cream Cheese Brownie, Triple-Chocolate Brownie (meaning triple the amount of chocolate), Pecan, Date, Lemon-Coconut, Iced-Lemon, Rocky Road, Sour Cherry, Nanaimo and lastly, Cathy's Cranberry. The regular price of these varies from $2.49 to $2.99, but all will be on sale at .....A word of caution is that these are best enjoyed at room-temperature,never straight from the fridge, no matter how powerful the temptation!1/3 OFF

THISWEEK

The actual bonus here is that these are not seasoned (or moisture-enhanced). When you get these, all the flavour is up to you, and I know that you can do it!. You can specify these either really meaty or on the thinner side, and they come to you without that insipid little tail tucked underneath. Try simmering these first in some Ginger Ale, or even Coke, until they are tender. This method imparts a bit of sweetness to the whole episode. Regular $8.95/lb

Hitherto, it’s been me telling you all the virtues of our Ham, but I now have independent corroboration of my story. At the recent Ontario Independent Meat Processors Convention, our MAPLE SUGAR HAM won the GOLD AWARD in the ham-making competition. It’s not that we’re so smart, or even innovative, it’s just our stubborn adherence to the idea of not cutting corners and taking shortcuts in the process of making our Hams (or anything else we do, for that matter). For Easter, Ham is the meal of choice, and we offer three types. Firstly, we make a great TRADITIONAL EASTER HAM. It’s with the bone in, it’s available either whole or half, and it’s slow-smoked over oak. Next is a BLACK FOREST HAM. This is boneless, slow-smoked over oak, and fully-cooked, ready to go. Thirdly, we have our MAPLE SUGAR HAMS. These are boneless, and slow-roasted with Maple and Brown Sugar until they are fully cooked. What is different about our Hams is they are not ‘extended’ like commercially-made hams are. When you read the label on a supermarket ham and see those words ‘protein added’, know that it’s not a good thing at all. What it means is that not all you are paying for...and eating....is actually ham..... and what ham you do get is of a texture far different than what ham used to be like, and ours still is. It takes us longer to make these, and they shrink during processing rather than grow, but what you get is the genuine old-fashioned article.TRADITIONAL EASTER HAMS.................. $2.99 /lbBLACK FOREST HAMS................................ $6.50 /lbMAPLE SUGAR HAMS.................................. $6.50 /lb........................it’s best to order early.....................

CHEESEThe final piece of the puzzle has arrived from the Foodland staff — it’s Caroline, one of the deli folk who had worked there for many years. During my ‘job interview’ with her, I asked what her favourite cheese was, and she replied, with no hestitation at all, that it was “OKA”. For years this cheese was the only artisanal cheese available from Quebec — but it has been a bit overwhelmed by the plethora of cheeses that now comes our way from ‘La Belle Province’. If you have the time, strike up a conversationwith Caroline about this cheese and prepare for a bite! Reg. $4.49/100g

Our beans are currently coming from Mexico and they are my fave bean — other than the locals, of course. What I like about these is that they are always tender, of a consistent size, and they’ve been handled well from there to here because they always last well.Reg. $2.49/lb

WHAT’S FOR LUNCH!

WHAT’S THE

Many folk from the trade come to visit our store to see what we do and how we do it. Usually they’ll ask how we got started in the frozen entrée business. It seems to me that we’ve done it forever, but when I think back, Doreen’s Chicken Pies were the first thing (and for the longest time, the only thing) that we made. When it came to having a backlog of orders, we realized that our customers were telling us something. So this is it folks, the ‘Charter Member’ of our frozen entrée bus ine s s , wh i ch ha s grown quite large indeed.Serves 3-4 Reg. $17.95

What I like most about our soups, apart from the flavour for sure, it that the ingredient panel is straight-forward reading — it makes me hungry just reading it, and that’s long before it’s hot in a bowl lookingme in the eye! Serves 3-4 Reg. $7.95

This is an item that goes back a long way with us. In fact, I think that we started making these in our original little Main Street Markham store.What makes these so popular is (a) the marinade that we make - it’s delicious!(b) there is no waste at all; what you buy, you can eat, (c) they are easy to prepare - hot grill, 7 minutes each side on average, a bit more if it’s thicker, and a bit less if it’s smaller. Just slice it thinly across the grain when you’re done - maybe after a short rest for the steak, (d) it has that quintessential flavour of beef - if you like that flavour, you need one of these, and finally (e) they are very reasonably priced for what you get.Reg. $9.95/lb LIMITED QUANTITIES

This is a pork sausage which is ground slightly finer, seasoned with sea salt, pepper, sage, some sauteed onions and Newcastle Brown Ale. These will fit well into a bun or with mashed potatoes and mushy peas (ok, not mushy) on a plate with a spoon of gravy. Made with our amazing Omega pork. Reg. $4.99/lb

If you are new to our store, it won’t take you long to realize that we’re in the basket business. Although I’ve never really counted them, there must be thousands to choose from. During the festive season we make them up with food goodies to fit any budget or taste (including wine, if you like). You can pick what you would like and we’ll make it up, as well, or it can be boxed, as you wish! See Gill or Evan if you have a special request. We offer good value!

The season for these has now began - and it’s about as long as Chile itself is. The berries that we’ll feature this week come in a 6oz pack — a little bigger than others, and the flavour is good. The winter blues, at least the good kind, are here.

There will be a number of events hosted by the Queen Bees, and others, which will be taking place at either the Mill or at the Grocer. The full list is available on their website and ours, but I want to draw your attention to two in particular. The first is a wine and cheese pairing which will take place at the store on Dec 6th. Drew Innes, an instructor from George Brown, will be present to lead you through the process, step by step — and I’m going to serve some of our freshly made appetizers and treats.The second will take place on both Wednesday Dec 14th and Thursday December 15th, and it’s all about Christmas Dinner at the Village, and this time it’s not Turkey. I will be explaining, cooking, carving and serving some pretty neat fare, along with a touch of wine! Cost of each of these events is 79.99 plus HST (sorry about that), all well worth it. Registration can be done by calling 905-887-1127.

I can say t h a t we’re back for the season, but the fact is, we work on this all year long — and have raised and donated approximately $200,000 to local community-in-need initiatives.As we have for the past few Christmas’s, we’re providing Christmas Dinners for families in need through the Markham Foodbank. Last year, the count was 250 families and I suspect that we’ll have a few more to look after this year. How can you help? Firstly, the very festively decorated Grocermobile will be situated at Crosby Arena on the three Sundays preceding Christmas. We accept food items and donations, and we serve coffee and cookies. Secondly, we will be conducting a door-to-door canvas in a number of areas in town. This is how it works: We will leave a Village Grocer Bag on your doorknob with a note asking for donations or foodstuffs and letting you know the pick-up times for the following day on which the aforesaid Grocermobile will be by with the Elves and a big red firetruck, with the fire guys, for the heavy lifting. Thirdly, you can drop any donation or food item or unwrapped gift at our store, and we’ll make sure that it gets into the right hands. As a community, your generosity in the past has been awe-inspiring, and I’ve no doubt that this year will be similarily awesome.

We do have some of their great Advent Calendars yet, as well as a very large assortment of their famous chocolate, in all shapes and flavours. If you have ever been to the original store out in Victoria, you’ll know that it’s the epicentre of chocolate in Canada.

Four items this week, of which two are my faves. I love a good hearty soup and our Beef Barley Soup really hits the spot for me. Firstly, there’s lots of beef and secondly, the flavour is nice and long because we really cook the stock down. Simply stuf f real ly ! Featured this week at.......and located in the cooler on the north side of the store.The second item is Bruschetta Pasta, a salad really which is made with our Bruschetta mix and rotini (fusilli). I like it warm for lunch, with the addition of a few of our pitted black olives. It will be featured this week in the deli counter at .................... The third item is Mary’s Baked Beans. These are a hit for sure, but not with me and there’s a story..... My late Dad was a cook in the navy, and when he cooked at home it was beans — usually for a full week at a time.... and they and me, didn’t get along too well. Fact is, Mary’s are much better, and I’m almost ready to begin anew. 440ml size Reg. $4.99And the fourth item is Salmon with Café du Paris Butter. Café du Paris butter is a whipped butter that’s made with spices, including saffron and brandy, and in this case, lends a hand in making this oven-roasted salmon a bit decadent. Reg. $4.62/100g

This week our feature sandwich will be our oven-roasted Turkey with Provolone cheese. The deal is that you get the soup or salad as a no-charge bonus this week. You’ll love our lunches!

We’ve arranged a feature on our own savoury dip this week. It’s made with some sharp asiago and mild artichokes, which makes a great combo that’s long on flavour, yet smooth.Reg. $2.39/100g— Do you need a creacker to go with it? We’ve also arrange a deal on ACE CRISPS. The two together, it’s akin to romance!

Apple Pecan Loaves - I feel this is the best loaf we make. It is very moist and flavorful, full of apples and pecans and spiced just right..........................................................................Reg. $5.99Caramel-Pecan Cinnamon Buns – chopped pecans and extra caramel inside our cinnamon buns. Reg....$6.99/4 or $1.79 eachPecan Pies - we are making 3 types this week: Traditional, Cranberry and Chocolate Pecan pie in two sizes $5.95 & $12.95 for Traditional and Cranberry. $6.95 & $14.95 for Chocolate.Maple Pecan Muffins - cakey muffin with chopped pecans and maple syrup........................................................Reg. $1.99 eachCaramel Pecan Coffee Cake - Brandied spiced apples mixed with pecans and caramel baked into the cake, topped with caramel ................................................................................Reg.$17.95Raspberry Caramel Cheesecake - everybody is asking for flourless options, so here goes. Instead of our regular shorbread crust, we have made the bottoms with crushed pecans, brown sugar and butter, then filled it with cream cheese mix swirled with caramel and fresh raspberries. The whole thing is topped with caramel, raspberries and candied pecans. $15.95 and $24.95 eachCaramel Pecan Shortbread - we had shortbread on special a couple of weeks ago, but didn’t make enough of these beauties, running out very early. So we’ll feature them again this week. What makes these shortbreads especially tasty and rich is the interaction of the added caramel with the brown sugar and the butter in the shortbread dough. Reg. $9.95 pkgWhat else is baking are our own Tourtières, Sausage Rolls, Mincemeat Pies in the freezer. Tubs of our Mincemeat, Mincemeat Tarts, Gingerbread Hearts, Bags of little Gingerbread Men, and for those celebrating the American Thanksgiving, there are pumpkin pies.

In one word, it's Chocolate! All kinds of it, in all shapes and sizes — and combos. Apparently fathers just love chocolate, so our Father's Day baking will be 'Everything Chocolate' — and mostly decorated in sports themes. We'll be making...TURTLE CHEESECAKES I'm telling you now that Turtles® have always been a weakness of mine, and so is cheesecake — so when they are combined, I turn into putty in anyones hands. I've made a study and what I've discovered is that Turtles® are best enjoyed at a ball game (thank you Kim), where it's warm enough to make them soft and sticky — and the same would be true with cheesecakes — full flavour occurs when they've been left to warm a bit. Two sizes $15.95 & $23.95CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKES This is our rich chocolate cake that's fi lled and glazed with Ganache — very chocolatey and rich, and apparently not too sweet. Also two sizes, $15.95 & $22.95CHOCOLATE FROSTED CAKES This is the same cake as above, but with a bit sweeter icing, in case dad's like sweet. Also two sizes $15.95 & $22.95HOLE IN ONE CAKES It's actually our white cake with a green turf finish on it, with the golf ball (and the cup), taken just as the ball is about to go in the hole. The beauty here is that you don't have to buy all the drinks like you would on a real course! Two sizes: Executive is $12.95 & Regulation is $19.95 CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM CAKES Something new and exciting, just in time for this weekend. We have developed a new buttercream that really melts in your mouth. It's a layered chocolate cake with a hint of cherry — and apparently I ate the whole sample myself. Also two sizes $15.95 & $22.95BLUE VELVET CAKE This is our red velvet made blue in honour of Father's Day. It has the same velvety mouth feel as the red, and the icing is robin's egg blue, just like a '57 Chevy. Also two sizes $16.95 & $24.95CHECKERBOARD CAKE We make this with vanilla and chocolate cakes alternating in a checkerboard pattern inside and outside — just like the F1 finish flag. Two sizes $17.95 & $26.95 (more because it's a lot of work!)BLACK AND WHITE MOUSSE CAKES This has white and dark chocolate mousse alternating with vanilla and dark chocolate cake, all decorated for Dad with tuxedo strawberries. Also two

sizes $22.95 & $29.95FRUIT FLANS This has a shortbread crust going on, with our decadent custard, loaded with fresh fruit and berries. One size $24.95And...Loretta tells me that we will have lots of Key Lime, Coconut Cream, and Banana Cream Pies. And we will have, in addition to our regular selection of cheesecakes, jelly rolls, fruit pies and, are you ready, Eclairs (not the donut shop type), Croissants and Double Chocolate Muffins. Our little bakery is very busy, especially on holidays, so if your heart is set on a particular item, please order it early to avoid any disappointment.

Firstly, our salad feature will be our Broccoli and Caulifl ower Salad — a perennial fave. It's made with sweet onions, sunfl ower seeds in place of bacon bits, 'spices' and done up in a sweet and sour mayo dressing. And we'll be making our Three Melon Soup, fi rst of the season. The melons are cantaloupe, honeydew and watermelon with honey, apple juice and a hint of Tabasco® and 'spices', including fresh mint.And, we'll be making some outside-the-box, Double Baked Potatoes. Flavours are Caramelized Vidalia Onions and Swiss, Martini (blue cheese olive & vermouth), and Amsterdam Style, with our bacon and organic mustard greens. And further, from the freezer, we'll have some cream of local asparagus soup, regular price at $7.95 container, and Chicken and Spinach Lasagna, made with an Alfredo-based sauce.

Grethe and her café group will be making Roast Beef Buns, with roasted onions, grilled sweet peppers, creamed horseradish, and greens. The deal here is a FREE salad to go with it, just in case it wasn't big enough. The girls are thinking manly!

I call these Bonfi re Shrimp, and the reason for that will become apparent. They are raw shrimps in the shell, so you will need to take a small sharp knife or a pair of kitchen shears to cut down the back of them to remove the vein, being careful to leave the shell on. You then make a marinade in a steep-sided bowl so they actually swim in it. The marinade that I use is olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt and pepper. I usually let them marinate for a few hours, or even overnight, if I can plan that far ahead. To cook them, place them on the grill in a fairly close formation, then pour about 1/2 the marinade over them...and stand back, an inferno will ensue that will rid you of most of your facial hair if you are not careful. When the fi re dies down, gingerly turn them over and repeat the process with the remainder of the marinade. When this second bonfi re dies down, they will be cooked. You'll need to shell them when you eat them, so have a small bowl, as well as a handcloth at hand.

BEEF CHOPS– TEXAS –

This is the one week of the year that we feature these rather Neanderthal steaks. I have no idea what the proper technical CFIA name would be for these, but there are one or two of these cut from the blade end of each prime rib, one bone thick (about 2”) and they are all trimmed except the eye of meat (rib eye) and the rib bone... ....which allows you a handle on these, more or less! Are they good? Well, they are cut from the more tender end of the rib, and they are cut from beef that I have personally picked at the meat plant for tenderness and fl avour. How to cook them? There are a couple of ways. The fi rst would be to start them on a pretty hot ’que and really singe them, turn the heat down a bit and cook them altogether about 20-25 min, depending on how thick your particular steak

While York Regional Police officers are keep-ing their eyes open for an an emerging drug nicknamed “bath salts”, widely speculated to be behind a horrific face-eating attack, the drug hasn’t shown up here.

But the ease of getting the drug, the active ingredient of which is not yet illegal in Canada, means there is the potential it could show up here, Det.-Sgt. Henry deRuiter said.

Some believe Rudy Eugene, 31, was high on bath salts, when he attacked Ronald Poppo, 65, and chewed off part of his face in Miami May 26, the Miami Herald reported.

CBC has also unearthed recreational use of bath salts in Nova Scotia.

Ottawa is moving to regulate that active ingredient — MDPV — under the federal Con-trolled Drugs and Substances Act, Health Min-ister Leona Aglukkaq said this week.

“Bath salts”, which can cause psychotic

symptoms and dangerous behavior are so nick-named because they resemble bath salts sold in stores, according to Ottawa.

The federal government wants to place MDVP in the same category as heroin and cocaine. That could occur as early as this autumn.

You have until July 10 to comment on Otta-wa’s proposal to regulate MDVP.

Whitchurch-Stouffville’s first indoor soccer pitch is expected to be operational next summer.

However, the owners have yet to find an operator.

“We needed to get the show on the road. We needed to get build-ing,” Daniel Belli, vice-president of real estate for Trinistar Corp., a Division of M.A.M. Group, said in an interview.

The company received site plan approval from council last week.

One of Trinistar’s companies, Nocera Properties Ltd., owns the 14 acres of land, on which the soc-cer centre will be located at the Beacon Hill Business Park at the corner of Innovator and Sandiford drives. However, the facility will only take up four acres, according to Mr. Belli.

“I think an indoor soccer pitch is a better use of land than [sitting] vacant,” he said.

“We’re very glad it’s going to happen,” said Mayor Wayne Emmerson during the June 5 coun-cil meeting. “We’ll get you in the ground as soon as we can.”

What was approved last week was an enclosed FIFA-regulated sized soccer field that can be divid-ed into three mini fields; change rooms; offices and a second-floor viewing area. The playing surface

has yet to be determined.“The end-user may want to

specify their own products,” Mr. Belli said.

The proposed facility will be 55,775 square feet in size, which is much smaller than what was pro-posed last year.

‘A little too big and

ambitious for Stouffville.

... So we went back to the

drawing board and we

did something that was, I

think, more palatable for

everybody.’

The original plan called for one full-sized indoor soccer field that would have converted into four junior fields; one dedicated train-ing and junior indoor soccer field and an associated full-sized out-door field for seasonal use.

“A little too big and ambitious for Stouffville. ... So we went back to the drawing board and we did some-thing that was, I think, more palat-able for everybody,” Mr. Belli said.

The pitch will be climate con-trolled for indoor winter soccer, but not air conditioned for sum-mer play.

“Nobody plays soccer (inside) in the summer,” he said.

But that is not to say it won’t happen, as Mr. Belli noted field activities will be up to the opera-tor.

“Whatever creative thing they come up with,” he said. “It would be silly to just leave it to soccer and empty.”

An agreement in principle has been made with the town for the provision of field time for recre-ational programming.

Whitchurch-Stouffville Soccer Club President Mark Kozak-Hol-land did not want to be inter-viewed by The Sun-Tribune for this story.

Other Trinistar recreation centres include Vaughan’s Astra Sportsplex and AC Milan Sports Centre.

Down-sized indoor facilityready for kickoff next year

Soccer players will be able to take their game indoors when Stouffville’s first year-round facility opens on Sandiford Drive.

A boating group navigating an inland race?

Ask Lionel Henry.His Stouffville Yacht Club will take part in

the Oak Ridges Trail Association’s sixth annual Moraine for Life Adventure Relay Saturday.

They won’t need a boat, but a canoe will work.

The 160 km race includes 14 relay sec-tions for each team to complete across the moraine. The day begins with eight kilome-tres of canoeing on Rice Lake, heads west, entering York Region just north of Stouffville, and ending at Seneca College’s King Campus.

Participants will also run and cycle.More than 30 teams from as far away as

Sarnia and North Bay have taken part the past two years.

It’s the third year for the Stouffville Yacht Club squad that adopts a new name annu-ally and includes Mr. Henry, Tracy Morrison, Catherine Chartrand, Marianne Deeks, Lynd-sey Thompson and Jenn Davies

Mr. Henry has been “running for a life-time”.

He became involved in the relay through “surfing for a race” in 2009. At the time, he was leading a running group of about six people in Stouffville every Saturday morning.

“I wanted them to start running on the Moraine trails, so we added Sunday mornings in the Headquarters, the Bowl and the Three Rocks,” he said. “We trained each weekend on a different part of the trail — that gave us dif-ferent courses to run every week”.

Training began as soon as the snow was off the trails.

“We try to get our road kilometres up to 10 km, as most of the relay stages are an hour.

The cyclists on our team are out on their own, and have probably already started, due to this year’s mild weather,” Mr. Henry said.

Anyone who is in good health can take part, he said.

“What surprises me is that you see every physique out there — tall, short, young, and old. What counts is that they have the stamina to do it, and an economy of energy,” he said.

His team ranges in age from the “late 30s to the late 50s”.

Last year’s second place team included proud dad Mike Bender and his twin 15 year olds, who ran different segments of the relay for the Toronto Region Conservation Author-ity Racers.

More than 30 teams from as far

away as Sarnia and North Bay

have taken part the past two years.

The course record is just under 10 hours, established by three time winners, the Dur-ham Mountain Bike Association Trail Blazers, one of the elite teams.

Many teams compete at more recreational levels, including family and masters entries.

Entry fees and pledges go towards the upkeep of the 300 kilometres of trails main-tained by the ORTA during the past 20 years. The funds raised are used for signs, lumber for bridges and boardwalks, trailhead maps, training for hike leaders and as contributions towards new parking lots and other facilities at trail access points.

to British military history and first took place following the restoration of King Charles II of England in 1660, according to Mr. Calandra.

British cities were opposed to having regular standing armies, due to their war-like impression “disturbing the peace and appearing to be a threat to the ancient civic rights of the city fathers,” according to Mr. Calandra’s supplied information.

It, therefore, became customary for any military unit to request permission from the chief magistrate to enter a community.

“City authorities would only grant per-mission once they were assured of the troops’ best behaviour and the purpose of (their) presence,” according to Mr. Calan-dra’s information to council last month.

As part of the ceremony, the mayor and MP will conduct a troop inspection.

Following the Horse Guards’ receipt of Freedom of the Town, activities will move to Memorial Park and outside Latcham Hall.

Among the dignitaries expected to be in attendance are Lt. Colonel Glenn Develia-dias, York Regional Police Chief Eric Jolliffe and Stouffville resident Dr. John Button, who is a direct descendant of Major John Button, who founded Button’s Troop 1810, which is a part of the York Militia, according to Mr. Macri.

Mr. Button founded the calvary in response to anti-loyalist speeches made by some of the locals, according to Mr. Macri.

Spectators are being asked to wear red and white because “it would make a nice

addition to the pomp and circumstance of the celebration,” Mr. Macri said.

The local Mennonite community has taken exception to this event because it “does not reflect a historically accurate picture” of Stouffville, according to Arnold Neufeldt-Fast.

On the morning of the event, some members of the churches will gather near Stouffville’s original settlement in front of the Care and Share Thrift Store on Main Street to observe their own official com-memoration of local history in relation to The War of 1812.

The parade begins at 10:30 a.m., at Main and Clark streets. The ceremony is at Civic Square between 11 and 11:30 a.m., followed by a meet-and-greet with the horse guards and a military exhibition.

The guards’ calvary and band units will be in Stouffville Saturday.

Along Yonge Street in York Region, you can see the hustle and bustle of urban living.

But 200 years ago, the narrow country road ran through thick forests, with a smattering of one-room log houses.

However rugged, the road played an important role during the War of 1812 — moving militia, arms and ammunition.

The war was between the United States of America and the British Empire, with the Americans trying to take control of the British colonies that would one day form Canada.

There are remnants of the time period all along Yonge Street: the Cairn in Richmond Hill, a farmhouse in Aurora, a religious house in Newmarket and evidence of naval efforts in Holland Landing.

Prior to the start of the war, it was up to settlers to maintain Yonge.

As many settlers were busy clearing the area to create farmland, one of the world’s longest roads was left unkept.

That was one of the challenges at the

beginning of the war, Sharon Temple muse-um director and curator John McIntyre said.

“Some of the landowners were not doing what they were supposed to be doing,” he said. “But when war was declared, it became vital to the military.”

During the war, the military took over the route and Yonge was in better shape than when it was first constructed almost two decades prior.

Many settlers living along the route opposed the war.

The Quaker settlers who came to Newmar-ket from the United States after suffering reli-gious persecution once again faced hefty fines and their lands were confiscated because they did not support the war effort.

“(Quaker) members were imprisoned if fines were not paid,” Mr. McIntyre said. “And that was during peace time. It was much worse during the war.”

This year marks the bicentennial of the War of 1812, a battle between American and British forces.

While no battles were fought in north-ern York region, the area has a rich history of conflict, divided loyalties and paci-fism.

“When people think of pacifist groups, they think of the Vietnam war protests and draft dodgers,” Sharon Temple museum director and curator John McIntyre said. “But that was not the first time.”

The Children of Peace were founded in 1812. After many local Quakers were fined or persecuted for not participating in the war effort, a few moved to Sharon to start their own sect.

“There is so much emphasis on war,” Mr. McIntyre said. “But there is also the story of peace. And it is a lasting story.”

The Quakers thought their views would be upheld and respected, Mr. McIntyre said.

“But those beliefs were not upheld,” he said.

“People were loosing faith. People were ready for a new way of peace and they were ready to question.”

The leader was David Willson, who was born in New York in 1778 and migrated to Canada in 1801. He joined the Quakers, but

was rejected when he preached of peace at the beginning of the war.

“Peace is a strong part of history that adds to its complexity,” Mr. McIntyre said. “And often, history is simplified.”

While the Children of Peace didn’t really make an impact on the War of 1812, in the 1840s, they helped introduce the concept of responsible government, Mr. McIntyre said.

‘When people think of pacifist

groups, they think of the Vietnam

war protests and draft dodgers.’

“That’s when the younger members started to question their leaders about how to create a better community,” he said.

“It’s ironic because some members wanted to take up arms for responsible government.”

Lessons from the Children of Peace still resonate today when people have grand ideas of changing the world.

“The Children of Peace were about standing up for what they believed in,” Mr. McIntyre said.

18-storey building planned for north Markham

A high-density mixed use development with an 18-storey apartment building is coming to Hwy. 48 and Castlemore Avenue in Markham.

The site plan for Phase 1, which the town’s develop-ment services committee approved this week, is located north of the Mount Joy GO station and south of the Brick furniture store. The site is within the intensification and future high density residential area in Markham.

Applicant Cedardale Markham Inc. is proposing to construct an 18-storey, 252-unit apartment building with non-residential uses at grade with a portion of a four-storey podium. Future phases will include a 20-sto-rey apartment building with the remaining portion of the four-storey podium to connect the two towers.

BY SANDRA [email protected]

Benches, trees and stones are scattered throughout Stouffville in memory of residents we have lost.

“We don’t restrict it to any one particular item, a bench or a tree,” said Rob Raycroft, director of leisure and community services for the town.

Having an item placed on town property in memory of a loved one is done at the request and expense of the family, Mr. Raycroft said.

Town staff will often recommend locations to families, but will also try to accommodate specific requests.

A memorial stone for John William Chaput, along with four carnations, recently appeared under a maple tree in Rupert Park.

The stone was originally located in Memo-rial Park by the basketball court but was moved

into storage during the park’s overhaul.At the request of the family, according to

Mr. Raycroft, it was taken out of storage and placed in the park, facing its basketball court.

Sun-Tribune’s Jim Thomas first spotted Mr. Chaput’s memorial stone and wasn’t sure what to make of it.

“As long as it’s not carried to extremes. I don’t want it turned into a graveyard. ... If there’s significant meaning, than it’s great,” he said.

Following Mr. Chaput’s sudden death in November 2008, more than 100 family and friends gathered at Memorial Park’s basket-ball court for a vigil.

There is also a memorial stone at the skate-board park for Luke Penny who died in a workplace accident May 19, 2010. One of his passions was skateboarding. A peace tree has also been planted in his honour.

Memorials welcome in parksA stone honouring John Chaput sits under a tree in Rupert Park.

Four Japanese-Canadian contemporary artists showcase their work at The Latcham Gallery June 14 to July 28 in TransFormal.

At the opening reception tonight, Gov-ernor General award winner for visual and media arts, Nobuo Kubota, will give a sound poetry performance.

Sculpture, photography and works on paper that relate directly to Mr. Kubota’s per-formance will also be on display.

Louise Noguchi, as part of her Shanghai Dragon series, has created towering other-worldly forms out of pink Styrofoam that resemble robotic misfits.

Naomi Yasui uses the gallery’s walls to cre-ate an alchemical apothecary in her Alchemi-cal Vessel series, which is a collection of 59 porcelain vessels that each represent one of the 59 elements of Torber Bergman’s 1775 table.

Akira Yoshikawa, who was a part the gal-lery’s 2008 exhibition Order/Disorder: A Sculpture Show, returns with new pieces that investigate order and chaos.

The opening reception and performance June 14 runs from 7 to 9 p.m. at The Latcham Gallery, 6240 Main St. For more information, go to www.latchamgallery.ca

A lifestyle show for the 50 and older set will take place June 23 at the Lebovic Cen-tre for Arts and Entertainment - Nineteen on the Park.

It is being hosted by the Whitchurch-Stouffville Chamber of Commerce and runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“We think it’s obviously a burgeoning market. Our members can benefit and get their message out to the public,” said Edward Nelles, executive director of the chamber, in an interview with The Sun-Tribune.

Businesses at the show will include Riverin Law Firm, Stouffville IDA, ReMax, Chapel Ridge Funeral Home, Retire at Home, Stonehouse Travel, O’Neill Funer-al Home and Debt Freedom Financial Services.

“The lifestyle choices and the retire-ment options available to them are so many and varied that it is almost impos-sible to get too much advice on this sub-ject,” Mr. Nelles said.

Admission is $5 at the door, which will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Society.

of North American prospects for the draft — after an outstanding second half of the season in Mississauga.

Amassing six goals and 13 assists in 68 games with the Majors this past season, Carrick felt the combine was everything he thought it would be.

“My experience at the combine I think helped me a lot to understand what the NHL teams expect of the prospects for the NHL draft,” he said.

Acknowledging he had some but-terflies in the days leading up to the combine, Carrick recalled the first two days were comprised of interviews with 15 teams requesting to speak with him.

“When I first heard about the inter-views and some of the questions they asked, I was really surprised about how random they were and nothing to do about hockey. But in all the interviews I had, I didn’t have any out-of-the ordinary questions. They were pretty basic like ‘what are your strengths and weaknesses as a player, who do you model your game around and who influenced me the most in hockey’,” he said. “The teams were laid back and just wanted to know me as a person.”

While the interviews went well, Carrick was put to the extreme test during the third day of the combine, which dealt with fitness testing.

SUN-TRIBUNE FILE PHOTO

Drake Caggiula and Trevor Carrick were both 16-year-old rookies with the Stouffville Spirit during the 2010-11 season.

Both are ranked for next week’s NHL draft.

Caggiula, who led the Spirit to its first Ontario Junior Hockey League championship this spring, was rated 185th in the final rankings released in April.

The five-foot, nine-inch, 170-pound forward who accepted a collegiate scholarship to attend the University of North Dakota this fall, started the campaign with the Des Moines (Iowa) Buccaneers of the United States Hockey League before return-ing to Stouffville.

He was named MVP of the OJHL playoffs.

on fitness testing at the NHL combine.

From page 1.

Praising the work he did with his trainer prior to the combine, Carrick felt he more than held his own in this segment.

Of the tasks each of the prospects carried out, Carrick pointed out the most challenging were two bike rides, the wind gate and V02.

“A lot of the guys puked,” Carrick said. “But luckily I didn’t.”

Adding to the pressure, Carrick said, was doing the tasks before a large gathering of people — primarily NHL scouts and staff members.

“All the tasks were fun to do, but also challenging. It was a great experi-ence,” he said.

Projected to go in the third round of the draft or lower, Carrick said he will be in Pittsburgh for the festivi-ties.

Brennan Serville, who also played on the Spirit defence in 2010-11, was a third round (78th overall) pick of the Winnipeg Jets in last year’s draft. He’s entering his sophomore season at the University of Michigan. Trevor Carrick played Jr. A for his hometown Stouffville Spirit in 2010-11.

Markham Stouffville Hospital’s $400-mil-lion expansion is slowly, but surely becoming a reality with more than 400 workers on the construction site.

“We started as a hole in the ground, now we are starting to see colours — we are start-ing to see it come together,” Suman Bahl, project director for the hospital’s redevelop-ment, said during an exclusive hard-hat tour with the York Region Media Group of two of four levels.

On Level 1, where the hospital’s new emer-gency department and mental health unit will be located, finishing touches, including paint, flooring, doors, cabinetry, light switches and tamper-proof fixtures are being installed.

The ER can hold 42 stretchers, doubling

the existing 21 stretchers, Ms Bahl said.It will be colour-coded by zone and will

include specialty units, such as diagnostic and mental health.

The ambulance bay can hold at least four ambulances and can be used for triage dur-ing emergency situations, Ms Bahl said.

A “link lobby” joining the existing facility and the new 385,000- square-foot building features a double staircase surrounded by windows and a large glass skylight.

Other staircases in the building are clad in glass.

Over to the in-patient mental health unit, an outdoor courtyard with trees already planted will provide a planting area for the patients.

The outdoor space is completely secured and safe, with lighting and security cameras, Ms Bahl said.

Hospital expansion taking shapeMarkham Stouffville staff to move in March, make way for renovation of existing building

Operating and surgery rooms are located on Level 2, where diagnostic imaging featuring two magnetic resonance imaging machines, two computed tomography machines and three nuclear cameras will also be located.

Ms Bahl, who gave birth to her three chil-dren, including twins, at the hospital, said her team of seven staff and two students from Waterloo have done a lot of work to arrive at the current stage.

After coming on board to oversee the proj-ect about five years ago, Ms Bahl said they

have had to reduce “quite a lot” of square footage from the original “functional project document” to meet the budget.

“Now it’s taking that document and mak-ing them come alive,” she said.

If all goes according to timetable, the proj-ect will be completed by the end of the year and the hospital will be handed keys to the new building Jan. 17 and move in March 10.

Renovation to the existing building will begin after that in nine phases, scheduled for completion in August 2014.

Windows rise above a stairwell in the new wing.If all goes according to plan, the hospital will be handed keys to the new building Jan. 17 and move in March 10.STAFF PHOTOS/STEVE SOMERVILLE

By Mary McIntyreMarkham Little Theatre in Stouffville

presents Bienvenue Oh Trout Lake, a comedy written and directed by Stouffville’s own Neil A. Marr.

Three couples in Neil A. Marr’s hilari-ous comedy set at a cottage on Trout Lake engage in a battle of the sexes.

Recently unemployed salesman Keith (Jeff Bower) is humiliated by his wife Abby’s attempts to bolster his confidence and chafes at being given an allowance.

When his old friend Stan (Reg Sellens) brings a pretty 26-year old French wife, Lise, to a couples’ reunion, Keith, drunker by the hour, tries to impress the young woman and inflate his ego with what he has left to offer — a manly physique.

Max (Mark Champion) and his wife Sally host the weekend reunion at their cottage. It’s quickly evident that geography teacher Max is as smitten with Stan’s French wife as Keith is.

Six seasoned actors interact gracefully

in a large and complex set.

The two men envy Stan, a dentist who divorced his first wife for the exotic young beauty. To them, Stan has the thrill of new love, which is a more distant memory to them in their marriages.

Theatre-goers in Markham and Stouffville are spoiled by the intricacy of Ron Browns-berger’s set designs.

For this production, Stouffville resident Mr. Brownsberger effectively staged and decorated the interior of a cottage kitchen, living room, bathroom and exit to bedrooms, side by side with a twanging screen door that symbolically sends the audience back and forth between the private conversations of the men and women as they move from meal preparation, intimate couch conversa-tions, to barbecuing dinner and lounging on Muskoka chairs.

Josee Bazinet plays Stan’s pretty French wife, Lise. Her English is strongly accented and ripe for misunderstanding such as when

REVIEW

Battle of sexes scores laughs in Trout Lake

Max comments about “the elephant in the room,” causing Lise to look around as if there really might be an elephant she has not seen.

Gessica Lee Haase plays Keith’s wife, a successful accountant whose jealousy is directed at innocent Lise. When she notices Lise at the shore in a tiny neon pink bikini, she decides she won’t go swimming after all.

Penney Donevan plays Sally, Max’s wife and the most constant in keeping the peace. When she overhears through the screen door that her husband dated Keith’s wife Abby in high school and still has feelings for her, she’s caught in a moment of jealousy herself.

With generational differences and blips in the French/English language, conversations among the three couples spin into innuendo, sarcasm and annoyance. Sally smooths out the wrinkles where she can.

There is a hilarious segment when all but Keith, who has passed out on a deck chair, have gone to bed. The sound effects of the men taking turns going to the bathroom at night has the audience tittering at the noises.

A crisis occurs where all six players turn on each other.

Mr. Marr’s dialogue is swift and clever. He has relaxed the audience into the typical bickering between partners, rivalries between males, gossip between females and old wis-dom versus youthful enthusiasm. The situa-tions are believable.

Six seasoned actors interact gracefully in a large and complex set. Not once does a beer bottle topple from its place on the arm of a

Muskoka chair. Lighting is an important fea-ture of the setting: not only to portray day and night, but also to focus on intimate moments between couples and direct the audience to the action.

The wives hope for but do not expect the gesture from their husbands at the end of the play. The satisfying moment when the men put aside their rivalries, jealousies and fears of aging engages the audience in an emotional appreciation of what we all would like our lives to be, united by spontaneous joy.

The play runs at the Lebovic Centre for Arts and Entertainment – Nineteen on the Park continues through Saturday.

Many Stouffville businesses and residents sponsor and donate time and materials to bring theatre productions like this event to our town.

Young local boy gives from the heart!In a Town where it seems there are always hands outstretched asking for your hard-earned moneyto support many worthy charities, along comes one that literally tugs at your heart. In 2007 a youngMarkham boy was saved from a life threatening heart disease by the efforts of doctors at Sick Kid’sHospital and to show his gratitude he created his own charity called: “Austin’s Cardiac Kids”. Allproceeds from this charity go directly to their Cardiac Care Division.The story starts when12-year-old Austin Mansz was admitted with a severe fever. Doctors beganchest x-rays and blood cultures and diagnosed Austin with Bacterial Endocarditis, a type of superbug that was destroying his heart.Austin wasn’t responding to theantibiotics and an Echocardio-gram was ordered. The resultsshowed that Austin’s conditionhad deteriorated to a point wherehe was given just a 50 per centchance of survival.It took hours for Sick Kids CardiacSurgeon, Dr. Caldarone, to rebuildhis heart and a lengthy recoveryperiod followed, but survive hedid. He is quoted as saying: “SickKid’s is the reason I am still hereand the reason I am healthy. I sawall the children and babies in thehospital and realized even thoughI had survived, many of themwould not.” He wanted to do something to help increase the survival rate of the others... So thecharity was born and it has continued to grow thanks to the generous support of local residents,businesses and especially “Hockey with Heart”.One of the many ways that funds are raised for this worthy cause is through his annual “Austin’sCardiac Kids” golf tournament. Now in its fourth year, hopes are high to raise even more for theCardiac Division of Sick Kids Hospital. This year’s tournament is at Glen Cedars Golf Club on Friday,June 22. For $150 dollars the tournament includes: 18 holes of golf with power cart, lunch, dinnerand a silent auction.If you want to be a part of this tournament or find out more information on how you can supportAustin in his quest to help the children at Sick Kid’s, visit www.austinscardiackids.com(From an interview with Austin by Amanda Sherwood)

Earnest, Neha Farooqi stood in the hall of her school, describing how she enjoyed a forensics demonstration by York Regional Police officers.

The York officers were in Markham at Cedar-wood Public School Tuesday with their Royal Canadian Mounted Police colleagues running, among other activities, drills, a forensics lab, and an obstacle course as part of a junior police academy.

A first for York Region, similar academies have been held in Hamilton and Western Canada.

Neha, 10, and her classmate John Ramos, 11, are among the people with whom police are try-ing to connect.

They’re suburban youths and representative of Canada’s future.

“I know they’re here to help,” Neha said when asked about the role of police officers, her prin-cipal, Lisa Stover, beside her. “They’re trying to keep us safe.”

Connecting young people with police is important — especially members of communi-ties that may not have been comfortable dealing with police in the past, several people involved the academy noted.

“It’s good for them to see what the police actually do,” said Juanita Nathan, the local York District School Board trustee and vice-president

of the Canadian Tamil Congress. “When they grow up, they should be able to approach them without fear.”

It’s also important that young people learn to call the right people for support if they encounter problems — especially if they need to translate for family members, Ms Stover noted.

And while employing fun as a learning tech-nique, the junior police academy also had edges of seriousness jutting from its corners.

On one side of the obstacle course, for exam-ple, was a large RCMP sign proclaiming, “Nation-al Security is a Shared Responsibility”.

It’s often not students who have had the bad experiences with police, but their parents and extended families, according to Sgt. Derek McDonald, a community outreach officer with the RCMP’s integrated national security enforce-ment team.

It’s his hope young people will take home their positive experiences from the academy.

That said, having officers in schools with a diverse student population — specifically nation-al security officers — is not about digging dirt, he insisted.

Cedarwood, for example, has a large South Asian population.

“This is absolutely not an intelligence-gath-ering exercise,” Sgt. McDonald said. “We are not asking kids to go home and rat out their neigh-bours.”

It was a night of firsts Mon-day at the third Colossal Cham-ber Connection Event, a net-working gala organized by nine York Region boards of trade and chambers of commerce at The Mansion in Kettleby.

Burnco Manufacturing Inc. and 400 Auto Wreckers (Cana-da) Ltd. were named the initial York Region Business Excellence Award recipients and members, representing 7,500 businesses, received newly minted Ultimate Networking cards.

Sponsored by KPMG, the new initiative recognized Burn-co as the York Region large busi-ness of the year. A structural steel fabricator and building products supplier, the Vaughan enterprise, one of the largest companies of its kind in Cana-da, previously won the Vaughan Chamber of Commerce busi-ness of the year award in the construction services and prod-uct category.

400 Auto Wreckers of Holland Landing was named the region’s small business of the year. It received the East Gwillimbury

Chamber of Commerce Spirit of Success Award last year for environmental leadership for recycling tons of material and fluids that would clog landfills and pollute the environment.

‘We’re the only chamber

group in Canada to

offer the card.’

Participating boards and chambers submitted two local business excellence award recip-ients for the regionwide honour. An independent team of volun-teers reviewed the nominations and chose the recipients.

“The inaugural York Region Business Excellence Awards are a great way to recognize the achievements of exceptional businesses and their contribu-tions to our community,” York Region chairperson and CEO Bill Fisch said. “I congratulate the winners announced today and I commend the York Region boards of trade and chambers of commerce for working together to create this important new

award.”The Ultimate Networking

card entitles members of partic-ipating York Region boards and chambers to attend networking events at exclusive member pric-es across the region. Network-ing is one of the fundamental ways to help small businesses grow into larger, more success-ful businesses, Markham Board of Trade CEO Richard Cunning-ham said. The all-access perk to more than 300 yearly events is a ground-breaking step for board and chamber members in the region, he added.

“Nothing like this has been done before,“ Mr. Cunningham said. “We’re the only chamber group in Canada to offer the card.”

Membership will have its privileges, giving card holders access to seminars, trade shows and monthly breakfast meet-ings. While fees vary by chamber and board and are subject to the size of the company, members each receive a card.

You can join one chamber and access all nine, Mr. Cun-ningham said, noting that’s what makes it so valuable.

Driving through what will soon be a park unique in Canada, Jim Robb recalls how he first walked through its woods as a child, but really fell in love with the land while cruising its back roads on a motorbike.

For the general manager of Save the Rouge Valley System, the federal govern-ment’s official declaration of a national park in the Rouge River valley isn’t the end of a decades-long fight, but the beginning of a huge opportunity.

He arrives at Markham’s Bob Hunter Park armed with a huge map outlining the com-plicated, diverse provenance of the existing lands in Rouge Park.

“The reason this is here is serendipity and pain,” Mr. Robb says.

Indeed, it’s the federal government’s expropriation of land for the Pickering Air-port back in the 1970s that has ensured there is so much untouched land, especially in northern York Region.

Decades later, the airport’s future is still uncertain, but farmers continue to work the land, leased from Transport Canada.

If not for that, it all might be a subdivision by now, Mr. Robb points out.

You don’t have to look at Mr. Robb’s map to know the park is something entirely differ-ent than the vast wilderness sites that nor-mally fall under Parks Canada’s purview.

The park doesn’t have mountains soaring into the clouds, towering waterfalls or great stone cliffs that leave your jaw unhinged, but

it has some of the most diverse ecology in the country and offers its own special opportu-nities, Mr. Robb says.

Following the Rouge River, it runs up from Toronto, along the border with Pickering, continuing through Markham and provid-ing a crucial physical and ecological link between the Oak Ridges Moraine and Lake Ontario.

For Parks Canada, the park has the poten-tial to be a gateway not only to our natural heritage, but for urban residents to learn about the department’s larger holdings across Canada, especially following its 100th anniversary last year.

The government’s commitment of $144 million to the park ensures you’ll soon see something different than what’s there today.

Driving around today, the park’s borders are porous at best. While much of the Toron-to section is a forested valley, the area north of Steeles Avenue is much more a patchwork landscape.

Hwy. 407, among other major roads, cuts through the park and the region’s Big Pipe is being tunnelled beneath it. Heritage homes, small communities and working farms are scattered throughout. All are reminders this is a park like no other.

Even Mr. Robb, who has fought to pre-serve the watershed for 27 years, occasion-ally loses track of when he’s on federal land, provincial land or is passing through some corner just outside the park borders.

The government has committed to add-ing 5,000 acres of agricultural land at the

north end, but Mr. Robb would also like to see included vast holdings on the Pickering side of the border now set aside as an agri-cultural preserve.

So far, work between the various sectors has been positive and collaborative, non-profit Ontario Farmland Trust policy director Matt Setzkorn says.

“You’re really seeing a holistic vision of what the park is intended to be,” he says.

Replacing farmers’ existing short-term leases with something more secure will lead to greater crop diversity and more invest-ment in the land, Mr. Setzkorn says, noting there is an incredible opportunity to protect some of the country’s best land for agricul-ture and as a buffer against development.

He cites the recent unveiling of a new Greater Toronto Area Agricultural Action Committee plan, the intent of which is to strengthen connections between the agricul-tural sector and residents, as dovetailing well with the park initiative.

Certainly, the status quo isn’t going to cut it if everyone wants to see crowds of visitors coming to experience the park.

“If you have a frayed quilt and 90 per cent of the patches are gone, it can’t take the weight of millions of people. You have to put back more of the patches or it will tear apart; the ecological fabric will rip,” Mr. Robb says.

Practically speaking, that means re-forestation and finding a balance between agriculture, environmental needs and public access, he says.

The government is committed to preserv-

Region’s national park unique in Canada

ing agriculture and while Mr. Robb has no qualms with that, he’d like to see a return to more diverse, food-based farming instead of the industrial crops (largely soy and cattle corn) now dominating the land.

“My first objective here is to protect the health of the watershed, the ecological integrity of the park and it’s cultural land-scape heritage,” he says.

Greg Barker just missed out on earning a bronze medal in two events at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations track and field championships in Brock-ville last weekend.

The Grade 10 Stouffville District Secondary School student finished fourth in the junior boys’ discus and shot put.

In the discus, Barker’s best effort was 47.84 metres, which he made on his first throw.

In the shot put, Barker’s best effort was 15.72m, which he did on his second toss.

Also competing at OFSAA was Eric Reid, who finished 16th in the junior boys’ javelin.

Two wins not enough at Barbarian Cup

The Stouffville District Sec-ondary School Spartans junior boys’ rugby team won two of three games in their pool at the Barbarian Cup tournament at Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School in Aurora Sunday.

Unfortunately for the Spartans, it did not enable them to advance to Monday’s semifinal.

The Spartans opened play with a 6-5 win over North Toronto.

Trailing 5-0 at the half, the Spartans rallied in the second half on a pair of penalty kicks from Brendan Reesor of one and 10 metres to win the game.

Any hope that the Spartans had in winning their pool were laid to rest in their second match when they suffered a 17-3 loss to Brantford Collegiate.

Reesor scored the lone points for the York Region Athletic Asso-ciation champion Spartans with a 12-metre penalty kick in the first half.

The Spartans rebounded from that setback to conclude pool play with a 10-5 win over Nap-anee District.

Chris Cadaret scored one try and Reesor booted a convert for the Spartans, who held a 7-0 lead at the half.

Reesor added a six-metre pen-alty kick in the second half to round out the scoring.

Despite the disappointment in not winning their pool, Spartans’ junior head coach Rob Edmond-son was pleased with his club’s effort.

“We won the two games we were supposed to win and, despite losing, played our best game of the day against Brant-ford, who were the second seed in the championships and really gave them a real challenge,” he said.

“Stouffville kids always make us so proud with their commit-ment and heart.

“It was a great season.”In the bantam boys’ division,

the Spartans lost their two pool games against Saltfleet 33-0 and Streetsville 20-0.

Sean Pierson’s performance in the octagon as a part of the UFC FX3 under card caught the atten-tion of the judges as he won a unanimous decision in his welterweight match against Jake Hecht of the United States in Sunrise, Fla. Friday.

The 36-year-old Stouffville resident, who sport-ed a few cuts on the top of his forehead courtesy of some elbow strikes from Hecht, was awarded the fight after earning three decisions by identical 29-28 scores.

For Pierson, the victory enabled him to even his UFC record to 2-2 and snap a two-fight losing streak.

Overall, Pierson improved his record to 12-6 in mixed martial arts matches that he’s been a part of.

“It was a great victory,” Pierson said on the UFC website. “Jake was a real tough guy. He’s an explo-sive fighter. He was a better wrestler than what I

had thought.”“I thought I was doing great in the first round

and in the second round I was going well again, but in the beginning of the third he caught me with a high kick. I couldn’t judge distance and I couldn’t engage. I was trying to survive.”

What Pierson felt helped him overcome the adversity he faced was his jiujitsu skills.

“But by the end of the round I thought I was ahead of the scorecard so I didn’t have a rush to finish him.

“I put my best effort out there. I wasn’t about to lay down and give up.”

As for his next fight, Pierson said he will plead with UFC president Dana White to be on the next card to be held in Canada, whether it be in Toronto or Montreal.

“I need to be on the Toronto card,” Pierson said. “Toronto is my home town but Montreal is my home away from home because I train there at Tristars. I’ll beg and plead to get on one of those cards.”

Pierson hopes win in Floridagets him UFC fight back home

Stouffville resident blanks Mennos to keep Scarborough undefeated

The Stouffville Mennos’ road game against the Scarborough Athletics did not last long Tuesday.

In fact, it went just five innings as the Mennos suffered a 10-3 mercy-shortened loss against the Oshawa City and District Fastball League-leading Athletics.

Now 7-0 on the season, the Athlet-ics jumped on Mennos’ starting pitcher Byron Baranieski by scoring six runs in the first inning.

Jay Nesbitt relieved Baranieski and went four innings, surrendering four runs in the fifth inning including. Two of which, were unearned.

Nesbitt also had one of the Mennos’ four hits and drove in one run.

Stouffville resident Andy Skelton worked four innings for the Athletics and struck out seven batters to earn the win.

Now 2-5 on the season, the Mennos are scheduled to host the Oshwa Double B Juniors at Memorial Park at 8:30 p.m. today.
