Hes no longer Whitchurch-Stouffvilles mayor. He doesnt even live here anymore, but Wayne Emmerson knows how to draw a crowd.

About 80 local business people, politicians and residents were at Meadowbrook Golf Club bright and early Monday morning to listen to Emmerson, now York Regions CEO and chair-

person, speak during a Stouffville Chamber of Commerce networking breakfast.

This is the best community in York Region and I know its in good hands, Emmerson said.

Most of his presentation was spent explain-ing exactly what the region takes care of. because we do a lot of things you take advan-tage of every day.

Among the services that come under the

region are police, paramedics, transit, public health, as well as social assistance and hous-ing.

The region and municipalities share waste, water, sewage, roads, planning, economic development, emergency planning, courts and borrowing/tax collection.

Emmerson praises council, tax hike

HELPFUL REMINDERS FOR RECYCLING ONWINDY DAYS

Unfortunately it always seems to be windy on recycling day!On windy days, the lighter contents in blue boxes and greenbins can often be found blowing out of bins resulting in litterblown on our streets and on our neighbours properties. To helpprevent this from happening, here are a few suggestions tokeep blue box contents in their place:

Place heavier items such asbooks and magazines ontop of the lighter items. Thisshouldhelpprevent light bluebox materials (such as paper)from blowing out of the binand littering the streets.

Bundle cardboard and newspapers separately. These bundlescan act as a lid for your blue box.

On windy days, consider putting your recycling boxes out forcollection in the morning, rather than the night before or skipthatweeks collection andplace your recyclingout for followingweek if your blue boxes arent full.

Dont overfill your blue box, keep material below the rim toprevent the wind from catching it and blowing it out of thebin. There is no limit for the number of blue boxes put out forweekly collection. Additional blue boxes can be purchased atour Customer Service Department.

You may also take your recycling to one of York RegionsRecycling Depots located across the region. More informationcan be found on page 3 of the Recycling and Waste CollectionCalendar or on the Towns website.

The Town ofWhitchurch-Stouffville reminds residents to pleasedo their part in helping to keep our community litter-free. Thankyou for your co-operation!

A tense attempted murder trial has wrapped up with guilty verdicts delivered on some of the charges after mere hours of deliberations.

Tyler Wirag, from Musslemans Lake, was found guilty last Thursday of aggra-vated assault and assault with a weapon in a brutal attack that left a community shocked and then-20-year-old Whitchurch-Stouffville hockey player Kyle Sauro blood-ied and in hospital.

Wirag was acquitted of one assault charge and the attempted murder charge was stayed. Wirag will be further sentenced for breach of recognizance.

Some of the most terrifying testimony during the trial included Sauro explaining how he remembers looking down after being stabbed with a machete only to see one of his organs sticking out of a long wound stretching from his sternum to his belly-button.

The trial began with Sauro explaining he had been at a huge high school party in Gormley where he was told Wirag, 22, had spat on a female friend of his.

After going to the front of the Gormley estate home to fight Wirag, Sauro said he retreated when someone told him Wirag had a knife.

Soon after though, his anger was re-ignited after seeing his younger brother, Kameron, with a huge gash under his eye, the result of a glassing incident. Sauro was told Wirag was responsible for the injury.

After confronting Wirag as he fled the party, Sauro said he punched him once before he fell to the ground.

On his way to drive his brother to the hospital or the care of their mother, Sauro and his friends said they saw the pickup truck Wirag was in at a stop light and began to follow it to a house in Stouffville.

However, upon arrival, Sauro said he ran the length of a football field once he saw Wirag emerge from the house, near the intersection of Burkholder Street and Rose Avenue, with two machetes.

Sauro said two of Wirags friends were also carrying weapons, including two pel-let guns and an extend-o-bat, which is similar to a police baton.

Wirag stabbed Sauro, resulting in two significant wounds to his stomach. He was taken to hospital in critical condition.

Sauro recounted a frightening detail dur-ing the trial, explaining how he remembers looking up to see Wirag slowly approach-

Wirag guilty of two charges in 2013 stabbing

ing him with the weapons drawn, before Sauros friends, who had originally fled, returned and hit Wirag with their car.

The machetes were never discovered, although a sheath was found during the ensuing police investigation.

Wirags version of events, one which the jury quickly rejected, involved him acting in self-defence after fearing for his life as Sauro and his friends bore down on him. However there were key holes in his testimony.

Wirag was acquitted of

one assault charge and the

attempted murder charge

was stayed. He will be further

sentenced for breach of

recognizance.

One involved him allegedly losing his phone at the party, before Crown lawyer Paul Attia showed him a photograph of what appeared to be his phone sitting on his bed beside a charger.

Wirag also had trouble explaining why there was broken glass on the street, when he repeatedly said he broke the cars win-dows as it was parked on his homes front lawn.

Some of the other assertions made during the trial involved Sauro yelling out racial epithets and holding a gun in the final confrontation. Sauro strenuously denied both of these accounts.

The trial is scheduled to return for sen-tencing on April 20.

Attempts to reach the Sauro family for comment were unsuccessful.

The need for serviced employment lands along Whitchurch-Stouffvilles Hwy. 404 cor-ridor is a conversation that is causing a lot of distraction, according to Ian Duff, economic development director for McSweeney and Associates.

Duff spearheaded an economic summit with local business owners and town staff recently at Meadowbrook Golf and Country Club to help formulate a vision for the munic-ipalitys economic development.

The current economic development strategy dates back to 2007, according to the towns website.

Either move on or move off, Duff told the group of roughly 15 people of the unserviced employment lands in the towns west end.

The focus, instead, he said, should be try-ing to make the community sustainable and investment attractive.

Duff also pointed out that governments dont create jobs, but opportunities for the private sector to have businesses.

If you dont figure this out quickly, youre going to miss opportunities. Theyre going to pass you by, Duff said.

With no hotels or other complementary industries to support information technology or education hubs, it leaves us waiting for industries deciding to come here and accom-modating them, Ward 3 Councillor Hugo

Kroon told The Sun-Tribune.Kroon and Mayor Justin Altmann were

the only members of council to attend the summit.

Kroon added it might be in the towns best interest to turn its focus to business retention and to ensure the businesses that are here are supported.

(Businesses) need to know theyre far more important to us than collecting their property taxes four times a year, Kroon said.

No matter which direction the town moves in, there needs to be some account-ability, Harry Renault, executive director of the Stouffville Chamber of Commerce, told The Sun-Tribune.

If we just keep talking and

educating, without any metrics

to it, then were just going to be

talking and doing nothing about it.

If we just keep talking and educating, without any metrics to it, then were just going to be talking and doing nothing about it, Renault told The Sun-Tribune of the cham-bers recommendation.

A final report on the towns new economic development strategy is expected to go before council in March.

Daycare centre family affair

Debra and Pamela Holder are the new owners of Deer Park Childcare.

The mother and daughter took over own-ership of the long-running business from another mother/daughter team back in November. Its somewhat of a homecoming for Pamela, as she did a co-op placement at the daycare back in 1997.

The fully licenced childcare centre offers programming for those aged 18 months to Grade 1. They are currently working on obtaining a licence to offer services to chil-dren up to 12 years of age.

The childcare centre offers healthy meals, which are cooked on site with little to no pro-

cessed food, according to Pamela.They also offer new enriched programming

such as gym, music, French, Kids in the Kitchen as well as Fit n Fancy. Still to be introduced is a gardening program, parent and tot programs as well as before- and after-school program-ming, such as dance, piano and karate.

There are eight staff members, not includ-ing management.

We want to give people the feel that we are making things better and complement-ing the previous owners way of running the business. With improvement and parent feed-back, we look forward to the growth and being an important part of the community, according to Pamela.

Delivery issues?

t was as if a mayoral reunion was being held but the dates on the invi-tations got messed up.

Barely.In less than a week, for-

mer mayors Sue Sherban and Wayne Emmerson returned to the spotlight back here in the town they once led.

Sherban was speaking to the town budget during and after a public session last week in the Municipal Offices.

(All that was missing from the list of surviving mayors of this burgh was the tireless Fran Sainsbury, who unbelievably is serving on council in her third Ontario municipality, New Tecumseth. She was probably busy in a council meeting.)

Emmerson, now chair of York Region for the past year, was talking about budgets and other stuff at a chamber of commerce breakfast meet-ing at Meadowbook golf club Monday.

The constant in both rooms was the man who inherited their chain of office, current mayor Justin Altmann.

That all three were almost together is news enough. Hopefully, wounds have healed from previous elections that pitted members of the trio against each other. In short, Emmerson defeated Sherban in 2006 and 2010. Altmann was also a candidate in 2010.

Election losses in a small community are painful and so public.

You can see it in the faces and actions of the defeated, especially incumbents.

They might as well wear a Mike Tyson-style tattoo, adver-tising their loss for all to see in the aisles of Metro and their neighbourhood church.

It takes some ego to let your name stand on the ballot for your friends, neighbours and enemies to judge.

That ego can take a big-time beating should things not go your way on election night.

Reporter Sandra Bolan cov-ered both events of the past

week. Excerpts from Emmer-sons speech and her post-breakie interview are in todays paper.

Sherbans rant against the town tax hike was covered last week. (Shameless plug: you can read all Sun-Tribune stories and columns on yorkregion.com). Our Face-book friends especially liked the ex-mayor and council-lors quote: Young people cant afford to live here as it is. Our families are moving to Uxbridge and Mount Albert.

Whether it was on house prices or tax levels, folks weighed in.

Emmerson already shipped out late last year, but picked a different location, buying and renovating a lakefront beauty in Georgina.

He didnt leave due to the taxes, quickly noting of the nine municipalities in his king-dom, Whitchurch-Stouffville residents pay the fourth lowest taxes in York Region. He also had praise for the town coun-cil that replaced the group he shepherded for many years.

Praise indeed for all of the above and all others who have run and will run for office.

In an era of 24/7 online crit-icism and cynicism, running for office and holding your position is no walk in Memo-rial Park.

ith com-m i t t e e approval, a community concert will

be held Sunday evening, May 1 at Stouffville District Secondary School.

The event, featuring area vocal and instrumental tal-ent, will serve as a fund-raiser by Stouffville Cares, in its bid to bring Syrian refugees to town. To date, sufficient donations have been received to accom-modate at least one family.

A letter of intent, sub-mitted to the York Region District School Board, has been warmly received by board chairperson Anna DeBartolo and Whitchurch-Stouffville trustee Loralea Carruthers.

Sounds amazing, replied DeBartolo, congrat-ulations on this initiative.

A wonderful project, agreed Carruthers. If the committee requires any assistance from an educa-tional perspective for the new families, please dont hesitate to reach out. Ill be glad to help any way I can.

Because of the concerts charitable spirit, the board has been asked to waive its customary school rental fee. A decision on this is expected soon.

While the proposal was initiated only last week, community support has been totally positive. The Stouffville Cares board meets tonight.

Gadgetry here to stay

When it comes to knowl-edge related to modern-day technology, my school-class registration would be something below kinder-garten.

Not only do I not have the know-how, the desire to acquire it on a scale of 10 is less than one.

Our Chevy Cruze is a prime example. After two

years driving, Im still find-ing instrumental gadgets I didnt know existed. And while their uses are explic-itly explained in the owners manual, Ive yet to read it.

After two years

driving, Im

still finding

instrumental gadgets

I didnt know existed

Take the pending March 13 switch to daylight sav-ing time. The hands on the cars clock must be forwarded one hour. But how? I havent a clue. So a mechanic at Giles Chevro-let will do it for me.

The same goes for other quirks. Fortunately, some-ones always available to assist without first probing my auto IQ.

My personal computer is or can be another hor-rific headache. While Im acquainted with its simple operation such as locat-ing the on/off switch, the screen appearance of a warning signal sends me into orbit. So much so, I instantly brace myself for an explosion.

However, far exceeding any of the above perplexing problems is the popularity of hand-held devices.

All of these mechanisms

boggle my mind. In an effort to learn

more, I, with the help of a friend, did an in-depth study, (sort of), into each. This is what we learned.

The current trend is to own two or three types of technologies. But by far the most popular is the smart-phone, mainly because of its style and the fact it can do five different things.

Their cost ranges from $250 to $1,100. Others include: the portable com-puter, $500 to $3,000; the tablet PC, $600 average; BlackBerry, $200 to $600; cell phones, $150; Apple iPad, $500 to $900; game units, $150 to $350 and the ereader, $100 to $400.

While I dont currently own any of the above, Im seriously considering mov-ing into the 21st technologi-cal century and making a purchase. Although leaning towards an investment in a smartphone, I wished to learn more before owning something that might only sit on a shelf.

So who should I ask? Why students attending

Glad Park Public School of course, boys and girls I see five days a week as their crossing guard. In doing so, Ive discovered them not only extremely knowl-edgeable, but willing to share their expertise with someone totally oblivious to what they were talking about. Im impressed.

However, being exceed-ingly frugal when it comes to expending nest-egg cash, I keep asking myself: Is this technology here to stay or a fad thats gone tomorrow?

Whether riding the sub-way on a Monday morning or seated in Tim Hortons on a Thursday night, the answer is obvious. This gadgetry is here to stay.

According to Emmerson, Whitchurch-Stouffvilles taxes, which were just increased by 3.47 per cent, are the fourth lowest in York Region.

This council is doing a great job, as the previous councils have, he said.

Much of Emmersons last term as mayor was spent putting a library/leisure centre expansion plan in place so all the new council had to do was approve it, fund it and build it.

This council, instead, opted for a scaled-down expan-sion of their own making.

Remember me saying, though, many, many times, you can do all you want, but I said when it comes to elec-tion time, they can undo it all and its gone, Emmerson told The Sun-Tribune in a one-on-one interview held after his presentation.

It was planned right. We talked to the public, we got their support. We got to what we thought was best for the community. They decided not to. That happens all the time, he told The Sun-Tribune.

Although Emmerson is at arms-length concerning what is happening in Whitchurch-Stouffville, he knows about the towns staff turnover during the past year.

In 2015, 12 town employees voluntarily left, which is an 8 per cent turnover rate and within the industry aver-age of 5 to 15 per cent, according to Marc Pourvahidi, Whitchurch-Stouffvilles CAO.

CAOs to mayoral assistants have been replaced.Its disappointing, Emmerson told The Sun-Tri-

bune. Because when you have good staff there for a long time, they have a history and they know whats hap-pening. You cant get it in a book. You cant write it all down. You take it with you.

Im not inside the (town) hall. I dont know what happens. Its disappointing. I think its going to be tough to replace some really good people. But move on, he said.

About three months ago, Emmerson and his wife, Debra, left Whitchurch-Stouffville for Georgina and a home they renovated along Lake Simcoe.

I dont really think they wanted me in Stouffville anymore, Emmerson told the Sun-Tribune, laughing, about the move from the town he lived in his entire life.

It came down to logistics. They had two properties one in Whitchurch-Stouffville and another on Balsam Lake, near Lindsay.

When they retire, Balsam Lake will be too far from their children and grandkids, so they compromised on Georgina.

Its been working out really well, he told The Sun-Tribune. It was sad to leave. We miss it. I do miss Stouffville. Stouffvilles been my home and its been great. Listen, times change.

One man has been found guilty of assault and his co-accused not guilty after an elderly Stouffville-area man was mauled by a dog when he turned up on their property bran-dishing a flare gun and complaining about noise.

Stuart Walker was found guilty of assault-ing James Keith Rankin by setting his dog on Rankin and encouraging the dog to keep attacking him even after he had been dis-armed. Justice Mary Misener ruled that Walker released the dog, but did not agree that he did so out of self defence.

Misener sided with the Crown in rul-ing that Walkers actions were motivated by revenge for the man trespassing on his prop-erty, a rural home that he rented on Hwy. 48 in Whitchurch-Stouffville.

Mr. Walker was angry, he did not feel threatened and the dog attack was an act of revenge, she said in her judgment Wednes-day.

Walkers co-accused, Ahmad Al-Maqdisy, was found not guilty of assault.

Misener said video recordings of the inci-dent from Walkers cellphone did not prove Al-Maqdisy participated in the assault. She found that he acted out of reasonable fear when he made a kicking motion at Rankin, who was brought down by the dog. He then

fell on top of Rankin, wrested the gun from his hands and threw it away.

He immediately began to get off Mr. Rankin, Misener said.

His actions were (intended) to pro-tect himself and others by disarming Mr. Rankin.

Rankin, who was 77 at the time of the assault in October 2013, suffered a fractured cheekbone and cuts to his body, Misener said.

Mr. Walker was angry, he did not

feel threatened and the dog attack

was an act of revenge.

Rankin showed off his collection of scars and battered head to police officers, poli-ticians and other local residents during a meeting on crime hosted by then MP Paul Calandra at the municipal offices that fall.

In a separate case, Rankin is suing Walker and Al-Maqdisy for the injuries he suffered in the incident.

Walker will be sentenced at a later date that has yet to be determined.

The number of red-light cameras at intersections across York Region will double to 40 next year, according to a report coming to a regional committee meeting Thursday.

Councillors are expected to approve spending $5.5 million for a five-year con-tract beginning Jan. 1, 2017 with Traffipax LLC for the supply and installation of 20 new red-light cameras and for the ongoing operation and maintenance of the expand-ed system, which would also include the existing 20 cameras.

The contract could be extended for another five years beginning in 2022 for an estimated additional $4 million.

Last June, when council approved the concept of adding 20 new red-light cam-eras, the region said the cost would be paid through fines.

If the new contract is approved at the committee meeting, it would still have to be endorsed by council Feb. 18.

Red-light cameras have dramatically cut down on right angle or T-bone collisions, a report coming to todays committee meet-ing says.

Since fall of 2013, red-light cameras

have been operational at 20 intersections on regional roads. As of August 2015, right-angle collisions at these intersections were reduced by 60 per cent (from 134 colli-sions down to 51 collisions) over the first 18 months of operation, it said.

Experience in other jurisdictions sug-gests that, over time, a right-angle collision reduction of 25 to 30 per cent is more likely. A 25 to 30-per-cent reduction is still signifi-cant and meets the safety objectives of the program.

Brian Patterson, president of the Ontario Safety League, applauds adding the new cameras.

Its an appropriate use of technology that is going to save lives and reduce colli-sions in the region, he said.

There were some initial concerns that the number of rear-end collisions might jump if drivers slammed on their brakes to avoid entering an intersection with a red-light camera, but that hasnt been the case because the region chose the intersections wisely, Patterson said.

The only camera in Whitchurch-Stouffville is at Woodbine Avenue and Davis Drive. The intersections where the new cam-eras will be installed were not identified.

Behind only Mothers Day, Valentines Day is the second most popular day to give flowers to a loved one. Thou-sands upon thousands of roses are imported from areas of South America in time for Valentines Day, and the rose has become the unofficial flower of this day.

Those who have given a bouquet of roses before un-derstand that roses can be quite expensive, and that price only rises on holidays like Valentines Day. Instead of feel-ing pressured into giving a dozen long-stemmed roses, gift-givers can explore other beautiful flower options available.

Red roses may signify love, but just about any other crimson-hued flower can also represent the strong emo-tions felt for a sweetheart and at a much more afford-able cost. When visiting the florist to have a bouquet or arrangement of flowers assembled for Valentines Day, consider mixing and matching some other flowers for an arrangement with flair and originality.

Dahlias: Named after Anders Dahl, a Swedish botanist,

these flowers are native to Mexico but actually prefer cool-er growing conditions. Dahlias come in all sizes, from small blooms of a few inches to much larger blossoms that may be a foot in width. They are related to the sunflower, daisy and chrysanthemum. The Dahlia usually is not a scented flower, which may work for people who are especially sen-sitive to scented blooms.

Chrysanthemums: Also known as mums, chrysanthe-mums are versatile flowers that symbolize optimism, joy, fidelity and love. Although mums are traditionally yellow, they can also be white, red and other hybrid hues.

Peonies: Peonies are herbaceous perennial plants that produce large, often fragrant flowers ranging in color from red to white. Peonies are highly prized by Eastern cultures, and in China they are known as the flower of riches and honor.

Carnations: Carnations have the scientific name of Dianthus, which means flowers of God. Carnations are particularly coveted because they can last long after be-

ing cut, which makes them popular in floral arrangements. Dark red carnations are said to convey affection and deep love. Because of their popularity, carnations are often eas-ily affordable.

Columbine: Columbine is native to North America, Asia and Europe. It has lacy-looking leaves and bell-shaped flowers. While columbines are traditionally used as garden plants to attract hummingbirds, a few blooms added to a floral arrangement can brighten up the design.

Poppies: Low-maintenance and usually easy to grow, poppies vivid red color and large blooms add to their aes-thetic appeal.

Cardinals: Cardinals are long, tubular flowers that grow wild throughout North America. Tall and dramatic, these red flowers can add drama to any floral arrangement.

The rose may be traditional for Valentines Day, but gift-ing with a variety of red-hued flowers may add visual ap-peal and affordability to arrangements.

Transit Project Assessment ProcessGO Rail Network Electrification Public Meetings

Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is helping to transform the way the region moves by building a seamless, convenient andintegrated transit network across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).

As part of this project, we are expanding GO Transit to enable 15-minute service on most corridors with electrified trains, which will enablefaster and more frequent service. Together, these infrastructure improvements will change how people move around Toronto and the regionwith four times the current number of GO train trips, service on evenings and weekends, and twice the number of trips during peak periods.

Building on the GO Electrification Study completed in 2010,which looked at the electrification of the GO Transit rail systemnetwork, Metrolinx is currently undertaking environmental studiesunder the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP), inaccordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08, to examine theconversion of several rail corridors from a diesel to anelectric-based system. The project will include design andimplementation of a traction power supply system (i.e. tractionpower substations and high voltage connections to Hydro Onesexisting grid), as well as power distribution components (i.e.electrical power distribution facilities) located in the vicinity ofthe rail corridors.

The Study Area (see map) includes six GO rail corridors,including potential locations for the electrical power supplyand distribution facilities:

Union Station Rail Corridor Lakeshore West Corridor Strachan Avenue to Burlington Kitchener Corridor UP Express Spur (at Highway 427)

to Bramalea Lakeshore East Corridor Don River to Oshawa GO Station Barrie Corridor Parkdale Junction to Allandale GO Station Stouffville Corridor Scarborough Junction to

Lincolnville GO Station

A series of public meetings are being held as part of the TPAP process to provide information about the scope of the project, environmentalstudies, design and engineering components, preliminary locations for traction power supply/distribution facilities, project timelines and nextsteps.

Purbayans Saraswati Puja is a festival for the chil-dren, by the children and of the children.

The third annual festival takes place Saturday at the Ballantrae Community Centre, 5592 Aurora Rd.

They are the only South Asian group in GTA by the name of Purbayan.

The festival worships the Goddess of Learning. It is the one day of the year young Bengalis cannot be pes-tered by their parents to study, as their books have been deposited with the Goddess herself. Back home, chil-dren were able to wear sarees and taste sour berries.

In an attempt to bring some of that tradition to the younger generation, this event is organized by children.

The all-day, event, which begins at 10 a.m., includes Saraswati Pujo, Anjali, Prasad Bitoran and Bhog. It is free and open to everyone.

AWARDSWEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2016


After 27 years, the annual Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library book sale will end.

Between the loss of storage and sorting space as well as the post-sale collection ser-vice and construction taking place next year, the library board thought maybe it was time to put it to rest, said Carolyn Nordheimer James, the librarys CEO.

Everything just seemed to come to a head at the same time, she said.

When the town sold the Silver Jubilee building, at Main and Market streets, last year, which is where the donated books are stored and sorted, they had to find a new location.

The nearby Lighthouse Baptist Church lent them its basement, but only until the sale in April.

Thats been great, but that is a short-term agreement, Nordheimer James said.

Once the books are sorted, public works staff trucks them up to the Lemonville Com-munity Centre.

Earlier this month, BetterWorldBooks, which picked up all the books not sold for the past couple of years, told Nordheimer James they would no longer provide the service because it was not profitable.

So were in a real jam this year, Nord-heimer James said, noting she has reached out to the MPP Helena Jaczeks office to see if some of the 10,000 leftover books they typi-cally have could be shipped to First Nations communities. If that is not possible, they will have to be recycled or put in the trash.

The annual sale started in 1989 as a way to generate money for the construction of a new library the very one that will be expanded this year.

... to see if some of the 10,000

leftover books they typically have

could be shipped to First Nations

communities.

Once the project was complete, commit-tee members decided to keep the sale going, with the provision that all money raised go to non-budget items.

The sale generates about $15,000 annually and sells between 10,000 and 15,000 books, which are priced between 50 cents and $3. Community members throughout the year donate the books to the library.

After this year, the money, which pays for the summer reading program co-ordinators salary as well as program prizes, will have to come out of future budgets, according to the CEO.

The loss, she said, is not so much the money but the community event, which encompasses volunteers, students, town staff, the Kinsmen Club and residents who donate and purchase books.

This years sale runs from April 6 to 10 in the leisure centres large multipurpose room.

The last day to donate books is March 26.

Skate under the stars, sip some hot chocolate and watch fireworks light up the winter night sky.

Snowflakes and Starlight Winter Carnival takes place at the Ballantrae Community Centre, 5592 Aurora Rd., Feb. 20 from 5 to 8 p.m.

Councillor (Maurice) Smith wanted to take it in a slightly different direction, as did staff and the Musselmans Lake Residents Association, said Joan Crosbie, manger of culture for the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville in reference to the long-held winter carnival hosted by former Ward 2 councillor Phil Bannon.

Simple evening skate and hot chocolate was a direction we wanted to go in, she said.

The event was going to take place on Musselmans Lake, but as there is no guarantee the ice will be thick enough, it was moved to Ballantrae.

A skating rink will be made in front of the tennis courts.There will be food available for purchase from three food

trucks. Hot chocolate is free, courtesy of Tiny Seedlings. They are also sponsoring the fireworks.

Crosbie is hoping for a couple thousand people to attend.

Admission is free. Please bring your own skates.
