York Region’s high school teach-ers have added their support to a growing tide of teacher union strike mandates sweeping the province.

The teacher/occasional teach-er bargaining unit of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Fed-eration in York voted 94 per cent

in favour of a strike mandate Mon-day night.

“The membership has sent a very strong message to the govern-ment today,” said Colleen Ireland, district 16 president.

York’s 4,800 elementary teach-ers, meanwhile, will vote on a strike mandate Oct. 4.

Bargaining units provincewide have been voting in record num-bers in support of a strike, accord-

ing to York’s Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario president David Clegg.

Contracts between the teachers and public school board expired Aug. 31.

The provincial government passed legislation imposing a deal on Ontario public teachers and allowing the minister of educa-tion to prevent or prohibit teach-er strikes, but teacher unions are

still allowed strike votes under the Ontario Labour Relations Act.

“We’re just going to follow the steps and the government will do what it has to do,” Ms Ireland said.

The Care & Share Thrift Shop is moving.

Management of the popular Mennonite Central Committee-owned store made the deci-sion earlier this month after being notified by the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, which owns the building it has been in for more than a decade, its rent would increase by more than $25,000 for the upcoming year.

“We just can’t pay that amount of rent to sustain this practice,” Elna Coetsee, general manager for the Care & Share, told The Sun-Tribune this week.

Back in July, council requested town staff negotiate lease rates for the Care & Share, which is locat-ed in the former public library’s space on Main Street, based on fair market value. The lease rate for the Latcham Gallery, the other tenant in the building, was to also be considered.

hey scurry up trees with cat-like speed and agility and bound from limb to limb with the ease and confidence of Tarzan.

These are not superheroes stalking criminals, but professional tree climbers.

Once a year arborists get to show off their skills and compete against each other to find out who does it the fastest and best in the Ontario Tree Climbing Champion-ships.

This year’s competition took place Sept. 15 in London’s Springbank Park.

The 2012 female winner is Musselman’s Lake resident Jennifer Carroll, who will now represent Canada in the International Tree Climbing Championship competition being held in Toronto next year.

“For her to do this as an apprentice as opposed to fully graduated (aborist) is pretty amazing,” said Mike Watson, anoth-er lake resident and co-owner of Scar-borough-based Kelly Tree Care, where Ms

Carroll happens to work.This is the second year Ms Carroll, 23,

has entered the competition. Last year, she finished second in the aerial rescue event.

She placed second again in that event this year. But Ms Carroll also finished high enough in the other preliminary events of throwball, belayed speed climb, static footlock and work climb to move onto the head-to-head masters competition, where she was climbing for a spot at the interna-tional competition.

“My goal was more or less to make it up

to the top of the footlock and not get dis-qualified from anything. I did a lot better than expected,” Ms Carroll said.

“I gave it my all, got kind of lucky,” she said.

“I’m a competitive person. So I don’t want to look bad. ... Once you get the adrenaline going, you just kick yourself in the butt and get up there,” she said.

The work climb, which consists of belaying down a tree to target stations located out on limbs, was Ms Carroll’s favourite event, while the aerial rescue of a 200-pound dummy was “nerve wracking”.

Ms Carroll hasn’t set any goals for the international competition, other than to “do my best”.

Tree climbing is nothing new to Ms Car-roll who admitted she was the neighbour-hood cat rescuer growing up.

Ms Carroll is currently completing her arboriculture apprenticeship at Humber College. Eventually, she wants to get into conservation work.

“I like everything about the environ-ment,” she said.

We should be able to address council without reprisal

Re: ‘Show respect’ for council, Ban-non asks, Sept. 8.

“Politics 101” goes both ways. I have not been insulted by five of the six councillors and the mayor.

This issue concerns the matter of having your say, which the town encourages you to do, not being per-sonally insulted by a member of coun-cil when words are spoken with which he does not agree.

My delegation of Sept. 4 was not directed at the mayor or any member of council except Phil Bannon. Mr. Ban-non seems to have the attitude that if you do not agree wholeheartedly with him, you are treated as his enemy.

As I stated in my delegation, if a person has aspirations to be mayor, he needs to demonstrate the ability to weigh both sides of an issue in an unbi-ased manner.

If you cannot do that, not only should you not run for mayor but you should not even be sitting on council.

I stated in the story, “I don’t think I will get an apology.” Mr. Bannon has not apologized to me either personally or in writing. This is a possible indica-tion of his lack of ability to accept other viewpoints. It takes a big man to admit he is wrong and apologize.

Unknowingly, I had struck a nerve with Mr. Bannon by suggesting two of the sign locations for the community were located poorly. At the time, where they were placed and gateways estab-lished, he made a big issue of their traffic-calming abilities.

They were not maintained and became unsightly and did not calm traffic. I requested they be removed and suggested alternative locations for two of the new signs.

Editorial

Dangerous. Deliberate. Undermining. Scathing.Those are just a few choice words

hurled at the province this past week after a report found it is blatantly ignoring our rights on important and possibly life-changing environmental decisions being made in our com-munities.

Instead of seeing green on provin-cial eco initiatives — in which, appar-ently, we have little or no say — we should all be seeing red.

“It astounds me to report on the degree of disregard and contempt that is shown to statutory requirements of the Environmental Bill of Rights,” Environmental Commissioner Gord Miller said last week when he released part one of his annual report, aptly entitled Losing Touch.

Not only are the Ontario Liberals flouting our right to know about and comment on green matters, policies and initiatives paid for by the pub-lic purse, they are hiding significant decisions being made, says Mr. Miller, Ontario’s independent environmental advocate.

As reported by YRMG last week, the worst culprit is the Natural Resourc-es Ministry, which Mr. Miller calls a chronic offender that ignores require-ments of the law and develops poli-cies and programs without consulting the public.

“Perhaps it is understandable that the ministries are no longer referred to as the civil service because there is nothing civil about the way citi-zens are often treated when they exercise their legislated right to file a request for investigation or review,” he said.

For many residents — especially those intrinsically involved in local environmental matters — this report likely comes as no big surprise.

That’s because, along with ignoring our input and demands for change, another delinquent, the Environment Ministry, keeps us in the dark.

It even goes as far as to deny any commitments the province made in the first place to rehabilitate the site that was under its watch for decades. Appalling, to say the least.

Trampling on citizens’ rights and flouting laws that demand we have a say in matters is unacceptable, untrustworthy and contemptible.

Immediate steps must be taken to ensure the public is aware of and understands any and all issues that affect our communities and the Lib-erals have to stop assuming they can run the show behind closed doors and under a veil of secrecy.

Province ignoring public input

Letters to the EditorMy suggestions were adopted and

the gateways were removed by town staff before the Sept. 4 meeting. I com-mended Paul Whitehouse, director of public works, and his staff for their prompt actions in this matter. I also thanked the mayor and council for lis-tening to my suggestions and following through with them.

We should all care about our com-munity and stand up and be heard without fear of reprisal.

Bannon leads by exampleWith all of the negative things we

hear about our local politicians in the news, I thank you for sharing this with your readers.

Up until very recently, I sat on the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville’s accessibility advisory committee with approximately eight other people, including Councillor Phil Bannon.

A new member had joined, an elder-ly gentleman by the name of Thom Leslie, who used an electric scooter to get around. When we found out he was having issues with his ride home, I was determined to help him out.

Long story short, Mr. Bannon vol-unteered to drive Mr. Leslie and his trusty scooter to his home that evening, which was in the opposite direction of Mr. Bannon’s house.

I was thoroughly impressed with his kindness and concern for his fellow man. A great leader leads by example and his actions spoke loud and clear that night.

Off The Top

with Jim Mason

Gotta fess up. I was scared. When I moved to the GTA from

the northwest corner of this mas-sive province 30 years ago, Toronto was a frightening proposition.

Buildings of more than eight sto-reys. Traffic jams at all hours. Noise. Streetcars and pedestrian cross-walks to navigate. Crowds. Odours.

And for most of my years living in Stouffville, I was a somewhat reluctant visitor to The Big Smoke, dashing in and out for a Jays game, dinners with friends or a concert.

That’s all changed. Mayor Rob Ford and his goofball antics aside, I’m now a big fan of the city below York Region.

I could almost live there.I’ll thank our three kids for this

gift. The trio all chose to do their post-secondary at institutions spread across Hogtown. That gave us the chance to explore the neigh-bourhoods of the Danforth, Queen West, Yonge/Davisville and the downtown core.

We’ve discovered cool eateries, affordable parking lots, live music venues, treed streets, unique shops and leafy parks.

It’s like vacationing 40 minutes from home and feeling like you’re in another land.

Example? We caught a free con-cert by the national treasure that is Tom Cochrane Friday at Nathan Phillips Square. (If you were there, Mayor Ford, sorry I missed you.)

On the walk back up Yonge Street that night, we watched a crew film-ing scenes for the teen flick Kick-Ass2.

Yonge was closed beside the Eaton Centre the next day. Stroll-ing the 450-foot red carpet into the Canadian Walk of Fame, 10 feet away, were some of my boyhood heroes, Mr. CFL/Russ Jackson and members of the Team Canada 1972 hockey team.

Where else but Toronto?I love T.O. Jim Mason is editor of The Sun-

Hours: Mon. ~ Fri. 8:00-8:00Sat. 8:00-6:00 ~ Sun. 9:00-6:00

We've sold these amazing turkeys for the past 27 years. Althoughthe farm has passed from father to son, it's the same growing andprocessing technique that produces what we -- and many others-- feel are the best turkeys available. What makes them so good? It'ssimple really. Firstly, they eat lots of grain and corn -- as much oras little as they want, because they run loose. Add to this a gentlerde-feathering process which leaves more of the flavor (and the oddfeather) with the turkey, and you'll have a bird which exceeds yourexpectations without the aid of the artificial enhancements thatButterballs and other pre-basted turkeys receive. Ours are moist(naturally), tender and full of flavor -- and they cook a bit quickeras well. The turkey sizes this year will be on the large size, startingat 14-15 lb. up to 21 lb., and then we'll have Tom Turkeys in the24-28 lb. range. If it were left entirely up to me, I would pickone in the 17-21 lb. range. They are the heavier hen turkeys, allwith a bit more meat on their bones, and more succulent meat atthat. Now, you'll note that the priceis slightly up this year, and farmerMike explains that this is due tohigher feed costs which he must passon, so they'll be . . .

— also — Should a whole turkey be too much for you to handle,we do section them into whatever portion would be suitable. Therewill be boneless breast roasts, in sizes from 3 lb. to 10 lb., and theycan be had either stuffed with our Sage & Onion Stuffing, or aunaturel. We also make stuffed boneless thighs, which are my favevery delicious -- and we'll have some turkeys in starting tomorrowif you want to get the jump on things.

Organic turkeys are also available at $4.99/lb. They're around 15-16 lb. each. We only have a limited quantity. Please order ahead.

We have some suggestions for you. And they are . . .

CREAMY CAMEMBERT - I find that there is not a lot of differencebetween this and Brie -- don't shoot me! -- but left to ripen just abit, and at room temperature, this is good. Product of Canada. Reg.$4.29/100g

SMOKED CHEDDAR - This is an American cheddar which issmoked with a combo of apple and walnut -- room temperature again-- and it's good, too! Reg. $6.49/100 g

LE CENDRILLON - Actually, this hasa longer name (Alexis De Portneuf LeCendrillon) but it has an even longer flavor!It's an ash-covered goat cheese from Quebec.Reg. $7.99 for a 125 g. Pack.

All these cheeses will be featured this week at . . .

We will be making a fresh and a frozen soup feature: the fresh being aSpiced Pumpkin. It's chicken-stock based, with an edge of nutmegand allspice. Reg. $7.99. The frozen choice will be our old favoriteCurriedSquashandApple-- one of our most popularsoups, especially for thisseason. Reg. $7.95. Both ofthese will be featured at . . .

To me, the turkey is a big part of the festivities, but they're definitelynot complete without at least a few dessert choices. You'll need pumpkinpie for sure as a standby, but check these out . . .

We'll have Fruit Pies ready, and the flavors will be: Apple, of course,Wild Blueberry, Sour Cherry, Peach, Strawberry-Rhubarb, andRaspberry made with Whittamore's berries.

Next, there will be Cheesecakes to choose from, in these flavors:Cranberry with White Chocolate, Pumpkin topped with SpicedWhipped Cream, Holiday Cheesecake (which has Brandied Cranberries,Spiced Apples and Candied Pecans), Caramel-Apple, Lemon with Curdmixed in, Blueberry, and Raspberry. (The Caramel-Apple and theHoliday version are nicer if you warm them just slightly).

Moving on down the dessert counter, we'll have Flans. There'll be Pear,made with Port-Poached Pears and Sliced, Spiced Apples, a LemonCurd version and Pecan, either au natural, with Chocolate or withWhite Chocolate.

Further down, we'll have Cakes! Varieties will be Vanilla with OrangeIcing done Thanksgiving-style, Chocolate Ganache and ChocolateFrosted, Carrot Cake (made with new harvest carrots), Red VelvetCakes (which are the rage), Pear, Ginger and Pecan with a cooked-custard filling. Pumpkin Coffeecake with Maple Icing (these are goodfor breakfast, too), Autumn Checkerboard Cakes (with Orange andChocolate Checks for the season), Apple-Caramel Coffee Cakes, thewell-known Black and White Mousse Cakes, Raspberry Mousse Cakes,our world-famous Mixed-Berry Jelly Rolls and lastly, our Cranberry-Apple Custard Cakes. Flourless items will be our Flourless ChocolateCakes, our Grand Marnier Truffle Flan and Pumpkin Cheesecake witha Pecan Crust.

I have it on good authority that we will also have Pumpkin Créme Brulee,Pumpkin Cream-Cheese Danishes, Pumpkin Muffins with Cranberries,Pumpkin Sugar and Gingerbread Cookies, Apple Turnovers, Cranberryand Pecan Cinnamon buns and Cranberry-White Chocolate Scones.

Now, as you might imagine, in order to make all of this, we have toleave some items on the side, so please have an open mind for this weekif you don't see your favorite dessert. Look at it as an opportunity tomake new friends!

These are made with our coarsely groundpork, some mild spices, cranberries ofcourse, and we finish them off withmaple. Reg. $5.99/lb.

We've made big amounts of our authentic BeefBourguignon. This is a dish that's fully cooked;just warm and serve -- with our scalloped potatoeswould be good! Serves 3-4. Reg. $19.95

HAMSWHY BUY OUR?

The story is this. We are heavily into the ham business — butin the old-fashioned way. To many folk nowadays, ham isham — if you’ve tried one, you’ve tried them all — that is,unless you are old enough to remember what ham originallytasted like before the process of making them becamemechanized. Machines? Yes, that’s right. Nowadays, almostall hams (including spiral honey-baked hams) are put througha process called “tumbling”. It’s like a giant dryer, but withthe opposite function. This machine boosts ‘yield’, whichmeans hams grow in weight during the process — just readthe ‘protein added’ part of the label to find out how much ithas ‘grown’. The good part (for the manufacturer) is that: (a)you have more ham to sell because they’ve all expanded and(b) all the little miscellaneous bits of pork can be put throughthis process as well because it glues it all together in the shapeof a ham ($1.99 lb supermarket ham). The bad part (for thecustomer) is that gone for good is the texture, tenderness andflavour that made ham famous in the first place.

At our store, we make ham in the time-honoured, pre-mechanical way — by hand. Come pay us a visit — we’llrestore your faith in ham! It’s best to order early!

- Our homemade sage and sauteed onion stuffing by the 2 lb. bag (orloose) $4.50 lb. ($8.95 2 lb. Bag)

- Doreen's Brandied Cranberry Sauce. We use our local berries, someorange zest, a dollop of Brandy (maybe more), and it's available in 1 lb.Tubs either at the meat counter or around the store.

- Homemade Turkey Gravy. No shortcuts here -- we cook down thebones and make this the long way. One thing that I suggest is that youstrain your pan juices and add them to this. Available in 1 lb. or 2 lb.tubs, from the freezer. $5.50 and $9.95 each.

- Turnip Puffs, Sweet-Potato Puffs, Garlic Mashed Potatoes are alsoavailable in small or medium, and in some cases, the family size as well.Did I mention scalloped potatoes?

- Grethe's Cheese Apples. In honor of Thanksgiving, Grethe has rolledup her sleeves (actually, they're always rolled up) and started making hernow-famous Cheese Apples -- they look good, but taste even better, onyour cheese board.

- Root Vegetables will be available roasted at our Deli from now 'tillThanksgiving, and most likely beyond.

- Pumpkins, from very small to very large will be available. As well as anassortment of local squash and gourds -- lots of them!

- There are many fall arrangements to choose from, both large andsmall, and in many colours.

- Karen and Linda have decked out our housewares area with what you'llneed for the season. From candles to cookware -- and steamware too!

- Although local apples are in very short supply due to the early springand subsequent freeze-up, there are many new crop apples coming in,including Honeycrisp, Fujis and pretty well all else.

Mayor Wayne Emmerson is not fond of the fan-shaped, leathery-leaved gingko tree planted through-out Whitchurch-Stouffville.

“I don’t want any more ging-kos,” the mayor announced during a council meeting last week.

“Oak trees, maple trees, they’re lovely,” he said, noting how they

create a nice streetscape and cano-py on the older streets in Stouffville such as O’Brien Avenue.

“I have one tree on the front of my property that is terrible. I think it’s a gingko,” the mayor, who lives in a newer development in north-west Stouffville, told council.

The municipality has been planting gingkos on the Main Street boulevard and in residential neigh-bourhoods for the past few years on

the advice of an arborist, accord-ing to Paul Whitehouse, director of public works for Whitchurch-Stouffville.

The gingko is native to China and has been planted since ancient times in Chinese and Japanese temple gardens and is now valued in many parts of the world as an attractive fungus and insect-resistant ornamental tree, according to the Britannica online

encyclopedia.“All I was trying to do was have a

tree that would survive in the down-town core,” Mr. Whitehouse told The Sun-Tribune.

‘We try to get a variety

out there ... as opposed to

being fairly mundane with

maples...’

Gingkos are not the only trees being planted along the streetscapes. Others include the locust, crabap-ple, ornamental pear, japanese lilac, basswood, linden as well as red maples and oaks, he said.

“We try to get a variety out there ... as opposed to being fairly mun-dane with maples, although you can do a variety of maples with colours,” he said.

Part of why the mayor might not like gingkos is because they take longer to grow and flourish — about six or seven years — according to Mr. Whitehouse.

During the past three years, the emerald ash borer has infected and wiped out a lot of ash trees within the region.

They are no longer being planted in new subdivisions and a count of all ash trees within Whitchurch-Stouffville has recently been com-pleted. A report to council on how to deal with them is expected later this year.

Mayor no fan of town’s ‘terrible’ gingko trees

A 46-year-old Stouffville man has been charged with careless driving after the truck he was driving slammed into an OPP cruiser last month.

Around 9 a.m. Aug. 24, a fully marked, but unoccupied OPP cruiser with its emergency lights flashing, was hit from behind on Hwy. 402 in the Hwy. 40 area of Lambton County by an empty garbage hauler driven by the Stouffville resident.

The demolished police car, which was in the eastbound lane, spun out and came to rest against the south wall of the overpass, accord-ing to the Lambton County OPP media release.

The transport truck went out of control and mounted the south wall of the overpass and careened down the adjacent embank-ment. The trailer became lodged on the guard rail, extending high into the air over the road-

way, according to the OPP.The transport truck driver suffered a minor

injury to his hand. Damage to the transport and empty trailer

were extensive and the south wall of the over-pass and adjacent guard rail were also heavily damaged, according to police.

The OPP officer driving the cruiser was standing with another officer far from the crash and was uninjured.

The officers were in the area due to an earlier traffic incident further east along the highway.

Traffic in the area was diverted until 5 p.m. that day.

A Stouffville man was charged last Thurs-day and is scheduled to appear in Sarnia provincial court Nov. 9.

Phamacists can help you bone up

How are your bones, Whitchurch-Stouffville?

You can have them checked out this week at Walmart on Hoover Park Drive.

Osteoporosis Canada is partnering with Walmart pharmacies to educate residents on how to develop and maintain good bone health for life.

Walmart pharmacists in stores across Can-ada are offering customers a bone health assessment and the opportunity to ask ques-tions and receive guidance from trained phar-macists on how to keep bones healthy.

Broken bones from osteoporosis are more common than heart attack, stroke and breast

cancer combined. It is estimated that nearly two million Canadians are living with osteo-porosis. Each year 30,000 Canadians break a hip and at least one in three women and one in five men will suffer from an osteoporotic fracture (broken bone) during their lifetime. For many people, this condition is prevent-able.

“Many people still believe the myth that, as we age, we will shrink and our bones will get brittle, but that doesn’t need to be the case,” said Dr. Famida Jiwa, president and CEO of Osteoporosis Canada. “There are things you can do at any age to protect your bones, and the sooner you start, the better,”

Go to osteoporosis.ca for more informa-tion about how to protect your bones and to download a fracture risk assessment.

Some teachers are withdrawing

from voluntary duties in protest, leading to random cancellations of curriculum nights, sports teams and extracurricular clubs across York Region.

Ms Ireland said her mem-bers are now waiting for advice from provincial union leaders as

talks continue at the local level to determine what the provin-cial Memorandum of Agreement means.

services withdrawn

York Region’s teacher unions, like many across the province, have

a good relationship with the local public school board “but this leg-islation has forced us into adver-sarial steps and we don’t want to be there.

“You can’t just impose legisla-tion and then say, ‘Let’s all play nice in the sandbox’. This is a multi-

faceted process ... a monumental undertaking.”

Students, meanwhile, plan a provincewide rally at Queen’s Park Saturday.

They will be, according to the online flyer: “standing in support of Ontario teachers”.

It’s not quite as simple as hitting a button online. You may have gaps in your coverage or your policy may not be suited for your current or future needs.

You need someone who knows you, knows the industry and can help you make the best decisions to protect your auto, home and business.

rate increase based on the cost of living, which has been around 2 to 2.5 per cent annually, according to Mr. Pourvahidi.

The facility is 5,000 square feet.Upon the advice of a realtor, the thrift shop’s

lease rate for the upcoming year was increased to $10 per square foot with an additional $4 per foot to pay for maintenance and insurance, according to last week’s report to council.

The new total came to $70,000 a year. The Mennonite committee currently pays $44,324.

“The intent was never to make money. That is not the core business for any municipal-ity. We’re not in property management. ... It’s to cover costs, while serving the community needs,” Mr. Pourvahidi said.

At last week’s meeting, council opted to let the Care & Share’s lease rate revert back to the annual index, which puts it at about $45,000 for the year. The lease expires Oct. 31, 2013.

With just over a year left in the former pub-lic library’s space, where will the Care & Share relocate?

The Mennonite Central Committee prefers to buy its own buildings, according to Ms Coet-see, but “with this short period in mind, I don’t see it doable.”

For the past year or two, Ms Coetsee said the Mennonite Central Committee has been looking for a new space, not because they knew the town would eventually want its space back, but because the 5,000 square feet it occu-pies is too small.

“With the town growing, it’s hard to sustain the business in this space,” Ms Coetsee said.

The Care & Share wants a minimum of 8,000 square feet, Ms Coetsee said, adding she would like to keep the thrift store downtown

but there aren’t any suitable vacancies.The committee investigated leasing the for-

mer No Frills store in the west end but “it’s a huge space and very expensive,” she said.

“We hope for a thrifty lease price,” she said.Mr. Pourvahidi said staff will help the cen-

tral committee find something suitable.“We don’t have any town space that is avail-

able for them,” Mr. Emmerson told The Sun-Tribune last week.

In a survey conducted about a year ago, Ms Coetsee said the results showed most of their clientele arrive by car and would follow them.

When the town retains ownership of the Main Street property late next year, it will be transformed into multipurpose space.

Whitchurch-Stouffville is currently in need of 25,000 square feet of multipurpose space and the Care & Share is the only town-owned facil-ity not being used by the municipality, accord-ing to Rob Raycroft, director of Whitchurch-Stouffville’s leisure services department.

“I think it’s very clear we’re going to need that facility,” said Councillor Phil Bannon dur-ing last week’s council meeting.

“If we’re going to do something with the building, we need a game plan. They move out and we move in,” Mayor Emmerson told council.

That won’t be a problem, according to Mr. Raycroft, who said he has a mock-up schedule already in place for new space, noting the town was supposed to take over Latcham Hall once its renovations were complete, but now that space will be temporarily utilized by the Silver Jubilee 55 Plus Club.

“Multipurpose space is multipurpose space to us,” Mr. Raycroft told council.

“We have a variety of programs to expand in once the facility comes open to us,” he said.

Town needs thrift shop spaceFrom page 1.

The Mennonite Central Committee was looking for a larger location for its Care & Share Thrift Shop when it was hit with a rent hike this year. A new location hasn’t been found.

You’ve heard the old adage: don’t judge a book by its cover. Well, the same can be said about people.

In an effort to encourage people to reach out and connect with individuals in the community they might not oth-erwise engage with, the Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library is hosting a Human Library Oct. 14.

People will be able to borrow other people — human books — for 20 min-utes on-site. The patron will have the opportunity to ask anything they want of professional dancers, tattoo art-ists, a literary muse and a transgender woman, among others.

“I won’t charge overdue fines if the conversation runs a bit longer,” accord-ing to Catherine Sword, co-ordinator of public services for the library.

“The Human Library enables groups to break stereotypes by chal-lenging the most common prejudices in a positive and humorous manner,” according to the website humanli-brary.org

“It is my hope that this program will promote tolerance, celebrate dif-ferences and encourage understand-ing of people who come from varied cultural or lifestyle backgrounds,” Ms Sword wrote in a letter to potential Human Books.

The Human Library concept began in Denmark.

A non-governmental youth move-ment was initiated by friends in 1993 following the stabbing of another friend.

Over the years, the movement has gained the support of more than 30,000 members in Denmark, accord-ing to the website humanlibrary.org

In 2000, Stop the Violence was encouraged by the Roskilde Festival director to organize activities that focused on anti-violence and encour-age dialogue, while building relations among festival goers. The result was the Human Library, according to the website humanlibrary.org.

Whitchurch-Stouffville’s Human Library runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the library, 30 Burkholder St.

For more information, go to www.whitchurch-library.on.ca

No late fees for Human Library offerings‘It is my hope that this program will promote tolerance, celebrate

differences and encourage understanding of people who come from varied cultural or

lifestyle backgrounds.’ Catherine Sword

Markham Fair 2012 president Phil Redshaw (left) of Stouffville and general manager John Peco are ready to welcome visitors to

the 168th fair this week.

f Stouffville’s Phil Redshaw takes home several red ribbons in the baking and preserves division of this year’s Markham Fair, don’t attribute his placements to a judge’s prejudice.

The 2012 fair president has been winning awards in this class for more than 20 years.

“Bread-making’s my specialty,” he says with a smile. “White or brown it doesn’t matter.”

“Absolutely fantastic,” wife Sherri agrees. “I wish he’d do it more often.”

Phil initially tested his culinary skills with apple pies. However, on a suggestion by his aunt Evelyn Byer, he switched to bread. She even provided instruc-tions via her 1930s Puri-ty flour recipe book.

The ingredients have worked to perfection. Phil has a frame full of ribbons to prove it.

Due to presidential pressures, Phil has sub-mitted only two entries this year. “That’s all the time I had,” he says.

Born in Stouffville, the son of Connie and the late Murray Redshaw, Phil was bitten by the Markham Fair bug while neighbouring beside Don Miller and son Rob on McCowan Road near the fairgrounds.

“Rob (Miller) has been like a brother to me,” Phil admits.

They, together, along with Rob’s brother Tom, once showed 4-H club calves at the old fairgrounds on Hwy. No. 7.

Phil was first elected to the position of fair senior director 12 years ago. Since then, he’s continued to climb the ladder. The 1st vice-president is Lesley Eng-lish; the 2nd vice-president is Kelly Winnitoy and the 3rd vice-president is Bryant Hulshof.

Phil explains how his year’s work began the night he was handed the president’s gavel. The main challenge, he says, is maintaining agriculture as a top priority.

“As Toronto continues to move closer and with so many farmers moving away, this isn’t easy,” he said. To keep abreast of today’s trends, Phil’s found it helpful to visit other fairs around Ontario. He’s equally pleased managers of smaller fairs have wanted to see what Markham Fair has to offer.

He’s also happy tomorrow is a professional activity day in York Region. “We’re hoping for a large crowd of children. A fair can be an important source of education for kids,” he says. He hopes the York Region District School Board will make every Friday of Markham Fair a PA day.

In an effort to create ongoing interest, the direc-tors try to add a major attraction each year. At 2:30 p.m. Saturday, a corn-husking bee will be held in the livestock pavilion with the hope of breaking a world record. Eighty people, divided into 20 groups of four, will take part. Registration begins at 2 p.m. The goal is to husk as many cobs of corn as possible in one min-ute. The current record for a four-person team is 17.

Phil honestly admits when it comes to attendance, weather can make or break a fair. “I keep checking the farmer’s almanac — with my fingers crossed,” he says.

The 52-year-old father of three and grandfather of one is pleased son Scott is keenly interested in the fair’s operation, particularly Old MacDonald’s Farm.

“The entire venture is a fraternity — everyone help-ing everyone else,” he claims. He says people, new to particular roles, can draw on the experience of those who’ve gone before.

So what will president Phil’s role be Thursday through Sunday?.

“I’ll be meeting the people,” he said, “and having fun.”

Andy Skelton almost took mat-ters into his own hands when Team Canada faced Venezuela in the VIII Pan American International Soft-ball Federation championship final in Medellin, Colombia Sunday.

The 25-year-old Stouffville resi-dent tossed a complete game, sur-rendering just four hits while strik-ing out eight batters.

national team debut

If that wasn’t enough, Skelton helped his own cause at the plate by collecting two hits, one of which was a towering three-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning, to propel Canada to a 4-1 victory and its first gold medal since 1993.

For Skelton, who picked up the win, claiming the gold medal and making his debut with the national team was a dream come true.

It also represented the highlight thus far in the right hander’s career

on the ball diamond.“To win one of the biggest tour-

naments in our game was one of the most amazing feelings,” he said. “Our whole team worked hard to get ready for the tournament all year and really came together when it counted. By the end of our 10 days in Medellin, Colombia it was like playing with family.”

During the tournament, Cana-da won seven of nine games in the round-robin segment with its only setbacks coming at the hands of Venezuela and Dominican Repub-lic.

After losing to Venezuela again in the first-versus-second playoff game, Canada needed to defeat Argentina to earn another shot at Venezuela.

With Skelton playing second base in the semifinal match, before being pulled in the second inning to warm up in the event he had to pitch, Canada came through in a 2-0 win.

That set the stage for their third encounter against Venezuela for all of the marbles.

Entering the tournament, Skelton was confident Canada could be in the hunt for the gold medals.

“We had two goals going into the tournament; first was to fin-ished in the top five to qualify for the ISF world championship in New Zealand (in February 2013) and the second goal was to win the tournament (Pan American Cham-pionships) and we did it.

homer, win in final

“Canada always has a strong team in international play and always has the goal of winning the tournament, but has fallen short finishing second in the past few Pan American Championships and third in the last ISF. But our team was determined to win the tourna-ment and we played with our hearts on our sleeves to achieve it.”

Stouffville’s Andy Skelton led Canada to the softball title at the Pan-Am Games in Colombia and a berth in February’s world championships.

Ways to lower car insurance rates at any age

Auto insurance is a major expense in a household budget. While it’s mandatory to have insurance, overpaying is not necessary. There are simple ways of getting a more affordable auto insurance rate, regardless of age or driving experience.

NEW DRIVERSUse of a ‘good student discount’ is one way to save on insurance for a young driver. Many insurance companies offer a discount for students who carry a minimum required grade average. Another way to save is by taking a driver education

course from an approved school; to learn the rules of the road. Be sure to inquire about these options, as they may not always be advertised.

DRIVERS OVER 25There may have been some improvement in yearly premiums for drivers with some driving experience. Don’t forget to also ask about further discounts. These may include: installing a security system, driving an eco-friendly car, or installing safety features such as winter tires. If recently married, combine policies with your spouse and take advantage of bulk discounting by having more than one car insured with the company.

EXPERIENCED DRIVERSAn experienced driver with a good driving record may be eligible for better insurance rates; the key is to find the insurance company that will offer the lowest rate.

Shopping around for car insurance is the easiest way to find a better way. Other ways to save include changing your deductible – perhaps carrying a higher deductible; or, combining home and auto insurance policies with the same insurance company.

DRIVERS OVER 55 YEARSMature drivers over 55 years old may qualify for some of the best rates available. Some insurance companies across Canada specialize in getting the best rates for mature drivers. There are also retirement benefits to keep in mind: no commute distance may mean a lower rate. Make sure the insurance company changes the commuting status to pleasure use.

MORE TIPSRemember to review your policy frequently. Tickets come off your driving record in three years from the date that you are convicted and accidents come off

in six years. If a ticket or accident has come off your driving record, check with your insurance company to make sure you’re not still paying for that ticket or accident.

If you drive an older car, you may want to remove the collision coverage if you feel that it’s not worth the extra yearly cost to compensate you for your vehicle value. This will reduce your insurance premium.

Many car insurance companies may actually offer a lower rate to drivers who pay their premium in full on renewal than to those who choose to pay in installments. Monthly payments often come with fees that are charged on each installment. Paying the whole thing up front is a quick and simple way to pay less.

No matter how old you are, it is always a good idea to shop around for a better rate. Quoting sites like ComparaSave.com help drivers find the lowest insurance rate available within their network of over 30 insurance companies.

Drivers should look for more

savings regardless of driver profile.

When it comes to finding the right rate, everyone’s got an opinion.

LAST WEEK: Sunday: Trenton Golden Hawks 5 vs. Stouffville Spirit 1. Spirit record: two wins, three losses, four points. Third place in North Division. COMING UP: Friday: at Wellington Dukes, 7:30 p.m. Saturday: vs. Cobourg Cougars at Stouffville Arena, 7:30 p.m.GAME NOTES: The Stouffville Spirit had trouble putting the puck into the net during their Ontario Junior Hockey League game against the visiting Trenton Golden Hawks Sunday. For the defending league champions, that did not bode well as they suffered a 5-1 loss, their third setback in the last four outings.After a scoreless first period, the Golden Hawks struck first, just two minutes into the second period on a goal by Conor Carson. But the Spirit tied the game on a power-play goal from rookie Michael Morgan. That would be the last hurrah for the Spirit as Trenton countered with two more goals before the halfway mark on goals by Nolan Martin and Josh Timpano with a man advantage to take a 3-1 lead into the dressing room.The Golden Hawks put the game away in the final 20 minutes on goals by Mackenzie Scott and Ryan Johnson before the halfway point of the period.The Golden Hawks, now 3-2 on the season and occupants of third place in the East Division, directed 34 shots on Spirit netminder Braydon Banitsiotis.The Spirit fired 25 shots on Golden Hawks’ goal-keeper Andrew Winsor.Now 2-3 on the season and occupying third place in the North Division, the Spirit are scheduled to play on the road against the Wellington Dukes Friday at 7:30 p.m. before hosting a Saturday eve-ning tilt against the Cobourg Cougars at 7:30 p.m.INSIDER: The Spirit received some good news

with the return of goalkeeper Knick Dawe from the Sarnia Stings’ Ontario Hockey League camp.This is not new territory for the 19-year-old from Penetang. He was a late cut by the OHL’s London Knights a year ago. During the summer of 2011, the Aurora Tigers traded their starter from the 2010-11 season to the Spirit. Dawe spent last winter in Stouffville, backing up starter Jon Hall and helping the Spirit win its first OJHL champion-ship. His regular-season numbers included a .911 save percentage and 2.74 goals-against average.GENERALLY SPEAKING: “I thought we played pretty good, it wasn’t a 5-1 game,” said Spirit head coach Jeff Perrin of his club’s performance Sunday. “We had our chances to score in the second period and could easily have been up. The effort was there. They (Trenton) capitalized on their chances and their goalie (Andrew Winsor) played well. But that’s what happens.“When you get chances to score you’ve got to bury them. And having a bounce here and there would have helped, too. That’s the way the game goes.”Perrin expects to use Dawe for their next game in Wellington Friday.“It’s definitely good to have Knick back. He’ll be a big help and give us confidence knowing that we have an experienced goalie,” Perrin said.Looking ahead to their road trip to Wellington, Perrin feels the long bus trip should help build team chemistry.“Wellington is usually a pretty good team but I think they’re like us in sort of a rebuilding mode. But the one good thing about Friday is it’ll give our guys a chance to bond and to play on the road in a town that loves their hockey. It should be a good experience,” Perrin said.

BY MICHAEL [email protected]

Knick Dawe acknowledged he was a little disappointed when the Sarnia Sting informed him he would not be a part of their Ontario Hockey League roster Friday.

But the 19-year-old Penetang native wasn’t left searching for a place to play.

The Stouffville Spirit welcomed Dawe back to their Ontario Junior Hockey League roster with open arms.

At the same time, Dawe said the first place he would rather be if he did not earn a berth on the Sting’s roster was with the defending Ontario Junior Hockey League champions.

“It was definitely tough to stay with the Sting right up to just before their opening game,” Dawe said. “But it’s definitely good to be back in Stouffville.”

Logging time in 22 regular season games with the Spirit last season and recording a respect-able 2.74 goals against average and .911 save percentage, Dawe felt he gave a good account of himself at the Sting’s training camp.

What might have hurt his chances, he specu-lated, was the National Hockey League lockout.

With the Sting’s No. 1 goalkeeper, J.P. Ander-son, signed as an undrafted free agent by the San Jose Sharks, he could not attend their camp and remained with the Sting from the onset.

As well, the Sting had a 1994-born netminder on their roster in Brodie Barrick.

“I thought I played well and had some good outings and the coaches agreed that I played well,” Dawe said of his stay with the Sting. “But it didn’t work out.”

In comparing the OHL with the OJHL, Dawe said there are some noticeable differences.

Road trip good for Spirit: Coach NHL lockout hurt goalie’s shot

In particular, the speed of the game at the OHL level is faster, he cited.

As well, he noted the skill level at the OHL is better since a number of players at that level are drafted by NHL clubs.

“You do notice differences here and there,” Dawe said.

While Dawe is back with the Spirit, he still hopes another OHL team might inquire about his services.

“The coaches just told me to play well and to keep my numbers (goals against average and save percentage) at a reasonable rate. You never know what could happen. In hockey you just never know,” Dawe said.

Dawe might be called to active duty by this weekend when the Spirit (2-3) plays the Welling-ton Dukes on the road Friday and the Cobourg Cougars at the Stouffville Arena Saturday. Both are 7:30 p.m. starts.

He hopes his experience will provide a spark for a team that’s been trying to establish some consistency in the early going of the regular season.

“I respect everything Stouffville has done for me and they’ve toughed it out so far and it’s great to see that. I hope I can bring something back to Stouffville to help them,” he said.

Knick Dawe could be back in the Stouffville Spirit net this weekend.
