Drought good for beer drinking but not farmers: weather expert

BY LISA [email protected]

hen farmer Jim Hulshof isn’t checking two weather apps on his phone, he is gazing up at the sky wondering when

rain will come.The Stouffville farmer believes this

in one of the three driest summers he’s seen since he first began helping farm the crops as a child 50 years ago.

“It’s a trying year more than anything else, just because of lack of water. Very horrible. Dry, dry, dry, dry,” he said, add-ing there has probably been a quarter of the normal rainfall since early May.

Hulshof’s distress over the dry sum-

mer comes as David Phillips, senior cli-matologist with Environment Canada, says York Region and southern Ontario are experiencing a severe drought and as the Lake Simcoe Region Conserva-tion Authority asks residents and busi-nesses to scale back their water con-sumption.

Hulshof irrigates 40 acres of his 50-acre farm – on which he grows veg-etables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, sweet corn, pumpkins and squash.

Even so, all the crops are suffering from heat stress.

For those farmers who don’t use irri-

etting a perfect grade isn’t something you stumble into, according to one York Region scholar.

Transplant gives local woman new lease on lifeBY TERESA LATCHFORD

[email protected]

rlene Lindsay’s biggest fear was that she wouldn’t be around to see her children grow up.

The former Aurora and cur-rent Newmarket resident was

18 when she experienced extreme fatigue and was lethargic. Then 10 years later, the same symptoms mysteriously reappeared. It wasn’t until she was diagnosed with auto-immune hepatitis, a disease that caused her body to attack her liver, that it all made sense.

“By this time I had two children,” she said. “I was so bad I was in the hospital 24/7. My eyes and skin were yellow, it was hor-rible.”

She was told she needed a liver transplant or her body would simply give up.

It has been 23 years since Lindsay’s life was saved by the generosity of an organ donor.

“I’ve seen my children grow up, get mar-ried and now I’m playing with my grandchil-dren,” she said as she was overcome with emotion. “I am grateful every single day for the gift I received.”

New data released by the Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) shows that Ontario hospitals are working to give more people like Lindsay the opportunity to receive the gift of life. The latest report shows hospitals are improving when it comes to notifying the network of potential organ or tissue donors. The improvement is measured in two

rates: routine notification and conversion.From April 2015 to March 2016, 38 of 68

Ontario hospitals maintained or improved their routine notification rates, a practice that ensures families are given the oppor-tunity to make a life-saving choice when a donation is possible. Three, Georgian Bay General Hospital, Pembroke Regional Hospi-tal and the University of Ottawa Heart Insti-tute, were able to maintain a perfect routine notification rate.

The average provincial rate is 94 per cent.“All of the York Region hospitals have

beaten that average,” president and CEO of TGLN Ronnie Gavsie said. “We only began reporting these numbers two years ago but we know when we put a spotlight on some-thing people pay attention.”

Newmarket-based Southlake Regional Health Centre achieved a 98-per-cent notification rate, up 2 per cent from last year. Mackenzie Health in Richmond Hill improved by 3 per cent with a 95-per-cent notification rate and Markham Stouffville Hospital maintained its 96-per-cent notifica-tion rate from last year.

York Region gets $23M in affordable housing funding

BY LISA [email protected]

ith more than 12,000 people on York Region’s wait-ing list for subsi-dized housing, an

additional $23 million in funding from the provincial and federal gov-ernments announced Wednesday is welcome news, but not enough to solve the region’s affordable housing challenges, regional chair Wayne Emmerson said.

“Mr. Minister (new Housing Minister Chris Ballard), we’re going to be asking for more. We’re shovel-ready and shovel-worthy to go forward,” he said at the announce-ment at Tom Taylor Place in New-market. “It’s a good start. We can’t do everything…. We will do what we can with it.”

The region also wants to review its waiting list to determine the need of everyone on it, he added.

The region will now determine how best to use the additional funding, community and health services commissioner Adelina Urbanski said.

Some money will be going to upcoming subsidized housing proj-ects in Vaughan and Markham. A 160-unit building will be construct-ed on Woodbridge Avenue east of Kipling Avenue in Woodbridge, while a 250-unit building will be constructed on Hwy. 7 west of Main Street in Unionville.

Regional staff will analyze where other funds will be allocated, Urbanski said.

But those wanting to achieve the same had better have that goal going into Grade 9, according to Niu.

“Getting 100 per cent isn’t something you can pull off over-night,” Niu said. “I wouldn’t have much advice to offer a student entering their final year who asks how to get the perfect mark.”

The scholar’s first word of advice is to take courses you have an interest in, because perfection

is more attainable if you’re study-ing a subject you are interested in. Second, do your homework because the only way to get bet-ter and faster at homework is to practice. Finally, surround your-self with like-minded people who will motivate you to challenge yourself and make learning fun.

OUTDOORWATER USAGEOutdoor water-use is allowed from 6 to 10 a.m. and6 to 10 p.m. Homes with even number addressesmay use water on even days of the month andodd number addresses on odd days of the month.However, new sod and seed are given a one monthgrace period for watering.

Heat, drought hurting crops

gation systems, Hulshof believes they will be looking at a fraction of the yield they normally get unless the drought ends soon.

Even when it has rained a hand-ful of times since the beginning of May, it has often arrived as torrential showers, which has made it difficult for arid land to absorb the water, Hulshof said.

Friday night’s storm led to severe flooding in the Holland Marsh.

On the positive side, the lack of humidity this season has meant less disease and fewer insects attacking crops, Hulshof said.

Phil Smalley, who owns a 1,400-acre farm in Mount Albert that produces potatoes, soybeans, corn and wheat, said the dry weather is definitely hurting production.

Some areas are hurting from the drought even more than Mount Albert, Smalley said.

Environment Canada’s Phillips agrees, although he said most areas of York Region and southern Ontario are suffering from the dry condi-tions to some degree.

“Dryness is everywhere in York Region, with degrees of dryness varying between south and north,” he said.

For example, Canada Day storms brought only 3.5 millimetres of rain in Buttonville, while the unofficial total in Aurora was 11.1 mm.

Last Friday night, only 2.8 mm fell at Buttonville, while the unoffi-cial amount in Aurora was 12.5 mm.

Pointing out how difficult it is for the parched land to absorb a quick deluge of rain, Phillips said all areas need some steady precipitation.

“What we need is a four-day rainfall with 15 to 20 mm each day, not all in one hour because most of it will not go to work for you. (The rains) fill the sewers and cause inter-section flooding but they don’t really get down to the root zone, ” he said.

At Buttonville, where there is an Environment Canada weather station, about 90 mm of rain fell in May, June and up to July 11, less than half the 188 mm that would normally fall during that time, Phil-lips said.

From June 12 to July 11, less than 10 mm of rain fell at Buttonville, where there would normally be 75 to 80 mm.

There have also been 12 days in the region so far since May where the temperature has climbed over 30 C, compared to seven days in a typical late spring and early sum-mer, Phillips said.

“While the averages have been above normal, they haven’t really been record-breaking at all,” he said.

Last year, by this same time, York had had one day above 30 C and 244 mm of rain had fallen at Buttonville compared to this year’s 90 mm.

“This has been great beer drink-ing weather but it hasn’t been great for people depending on moisture from a growing point of view,” Phil-lips said. “There’s fire bans out there and watering bans too…. It’s good for youthful people who like to drink beer, the muscle shirt and tank top crowd.”

There are calls for rain Thursday and Friday this week, although Phillips remains skeptical it will do much good, if it comes at all.

The conversion rate measures the number of donated organs that were successfully transplanted. The average conversion rate across Ontario hospitals is 56 per cent. At Southlake that rate was 43 per cent, at Mackenzie Health, 57 per cent and at Markham Stouffville Hospi-tal, 67 per cent.

“This one is a little more com-plicated because there are a lot of steps that need to happen quickly between the time we are notified of a donation and getting it to the recipient,” Gavsie added.

From the time the network is informed of a donor, a recipient has to be located, transport has to be arranged and the transplant team needs to be put in place in a small time frame to ensure the organ remains in good condition.

“Obviously our goal is to get both rates to 100 per cent at every hospital and we are currently work-ing with all partners to make that happen,” she said. “Even though we have a ways to go, we are headed in the right direction.”

The public plays a role in the improvement process as well by reg-istering to be a donor at beadonor.ca and speaking about their wishes with loved ones.

During the time period of the study, provincial hospitals cared for 296 deceased organ donors and per-formed 1,173 lifesaving transplants. In addition, 2,200 tissue donors enhanced the lives of thousands through the gift of corneas, skin, bone and heart valves.

Chefs cook up recipes for hosting backyard dinnerBY LISA QUEEN

[email protected]

ith your backyard beckoning you outside during the sum-mer, chances are you will be inviting family and friends for an outdoor meal at some

point over the next few weeks.Sure, you could take the easy route and

throw some burgers and hot dogs, or even a steak, on the barbecue.

But what if you want to kick it up a notch and make your meal more special for your guests?

We asked five local chefs to each give us a recipe for holding an outdoor dinner party

for eight to 10 people. Jimmy Comfort of Baldwins in Aurora

offered his favourite drink recipe from the restaurant’s cocktail list.

Tim Pettigrew of Newmarket’s Ground Burger Bar gave us his recipe for a delicious appetizer.

Christopher Waye of the Smokery Kitchen and Bar in Whitchurch-Stouffville, provided a recipe for a mouth watering meat dish, while Christina Minotti of King’s Pine Farms Orchard paired it with a delectable side dish.

And what’s a dinner party without some-thing sweet on which to end? That’s where Rebecca Pinga of Newmarket’s G & D Baking Co., comes in with her scrumptious dessert.

Go beyond burgers and hot dogs with some of these guaranteed-to-wow dishes

THE COCKTAIL

Jimmy Comfort’s favourite drink on his menu:

Yellow BirdIn a cocktail glass filled with ice, combine1/2 oz dark rum

1/2 oz banana liqueur1/3 cup pineapple juice1/3 cup orange juicetop with drizzle of Galliano liqueur

APPETIZERTim Pettigrew’s Grilled Jerk Chicken and Halloumi Satay

Jerk Marinade1 tbsp allspice 1 tbsp cinnamon1 tbsp coriander1 tbsp cumin 1 tbsp fennel seed1 tbsp thyme1 tbsp oregano 2 tbsp minced garlic 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 jalapenos, minced2 tbsp black pepper 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1/4 cup lime juice 1 tsp saltBlend all ingredients together in blender till smooth, keep in fridge until ready to use. (Will keep 4-6 days.)

Satay2 lb boneless/skinless chicken breast1 red onion 1-2 red pepper 1-1/2 lb Halloumi cheese 2-3 limes 1 L vanilla yogurt 10 bamboo or metal skewers (if using bamboo, soak them in water overnight to keep them from burning)Cube chicken into bite size pieces and place in bowl, cover chicken with jerk marinade, cover and let marinate over night. Cut onion, red pepper, and Halloumi cheese into bite size portions, skewer all ingredients onto sticks, alternating chicken (3pc) onion, (2pc), red pepper (2pc), halloumi cheese (2pc). Once you have your desired arrangement on the sticks, it’s time to hit the grill. Be sure your barbecue is at high heat. Sear all sides of your skewers to get uniform grill marks around them. Turn heat down to medium and fin-ish cooking till chicken is fully cooked. Serve with wedges of fresh lime and bowl of vanilla yogurt for dipping. Enjoy!

MAIN MEAT DISHChristopher Waye’s Bone-in Lamb Shoulder BBQ5 lb bone-in lamb shoulder 3 tbsp smoked paprika1 tbsp cracked black pepper2 cloves fresh garlic2 tsp mustard powder1 tbsp coriander2 tbsp brown sugar1 tbsp kosher saltBone-in lamb shoulder is a wonderful, inexpensive and flavourful cut of lamb that is extremely tender when cooked properly. If your guests are not inter-ested in lamb then a pork shoulder can be substi-tuted with the same results. I have served this roast with everything from boiled potatoes and cabbage to a build your own taco stand. Also the recipe can be scaled up with another shoulder quite easily making this recipe versatile and reasonably easy to prepare. Begin by combining spices in a spice mill or coffee grinder. If you don’t have one then a blender will do the same job. Generously rub the entire shoulder with the spice rub and allow to sit until the roast comes to room temperature, roughly 30 minutes. Rubbing the meat

can be done the night before to maximize the fla-vour. While waiting for the roast to come to temperature preheat your barbecue to 450 C. Make sure you are cooking on a clean and well-oiled grill. Sear the shoulder on all sides roughly one to two minutes a side. The natural fat of the shoulder will cause some flare-ups so move the shoulder around the grill until you have a lovely colour and seared crust. It should not be burnt, just caramelized.Transfer the shoulder to a shallow baking tray lined with tin foil. Create a small bowl with the foil and add a cup of liquid (stock, water, beer, wine, your choice). Cover the roast with a loose foil tent. Cook for 2-4 hours at 180-200 C. Check every hour and add liquid if necessary. Lamb is finished when it is fork tender. (Optional) Add some apple wood chips to the bar-becue in a tin foil package. This will add a complex layer of flavour to an already excellent rub.Once lamb is completed, transfer to a cutting board and loosely cover with foil. Allow the meat to rest for 30 to 45 minutes so the natural juice can be reincorporated. Pull the shoulder apart keeping large pieces intact. Serve with mint and fresh lemon.

SIDE DISHChristina Minotti’s Potato Salad with Apple Twist3-4 lbs of potatoes12 celery stalks (chopped into slices)1 1/2 -2 small red onions (diced)4 honey crisp apples (shredded)1 cup mayonnaise3/4 cup olive oil1/4 cup apple cider vinegar2 tbsp Dijon mustard1/2 tsp white granulated sugar1/2 tsp parsley2 large carrots (shredded)salt, pepper and garlic to taste

2 tbsp apple cider

Chop potatoes into cubes.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add potatoes, cook until tender approximately

10-15 minutes. Drain and cool.

In a large bowl combine mayonnaise and olive oil, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar and granulated sugar whisk until combined.

Next add your cool potatoes, celery, red onions, shredded carrots, shredded apples, apple cider, salt pepper, garlic to taste and parsley.

Mix until all is combined.

Chill for about 1 hour before serving.

DESSERTRebecca Pinga’s Mixed Berry Shortcakes2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tbsp baking powder 1/4 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling3/4 tsp salt7 tbsp unsalted butter1 cup cold whipping cream, plus extra for brushing2-1/2 pints mixed berriesStrawberry Caramel Sauce1-1/4 cup fresh strawberry puree (3/4 lb of fruit, pureed in a blender or food processor. Then strained to remove any seeds)3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup water1-1/2 cup whipping cream 2 tbsp sugarPreheat oven to 425 F. Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a mix-ing bowl. Cut butter into small pieces using either a pastry blender or two knives, and cut butter into dry ingredients until you get pea size pieces of but-ter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and freeze this mixture for 10 minutes. Make a well in the centre and pour in cream. Gently mix dough together with a wooden spoon or your hands. Don’t over mix. You

want it to look shaggy. Turn dough onto a floured surface and roll out to 1-inch thick. Use a 3-inch circle cutter to cut out 10 biscuits. Place biscuits on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush tops with whipping cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden, 10-12 minutes.Meanwhile, prepare the strawberry caramel sauce. Place 1⁄2 cup water and 3⁄4 cup of sugar into a deep pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Do not stir and do not walk away. When the mixture reaches a deep amber colour (after about 10 min-utes), slowly add the fruit puree, whisking constantly until all the sugar is dissolved. Be careful because this mixture is hot and bubbly.Allow caramel to simmer and reduce slightly. It will thicken more as it cools. Transfer to another bowl, cover with plastic wrap and reserve till later.Whip cream until thickened. Then add 2 tbsp sugar to a mixing bowl and whisk on high till you get stiff whipped cream. Slice cooled shortcakes horizon-tally and put the bases cut side up on the serving plates. Divide remaining berries among the 10 bases. Drizzle berries evenly with caramel sauce and top with whipped cream. Any remaining cream can be served alongside shortcakes. Serve immediatelyPreparing the shortcakes, caramel sauce and berries ahead of time can be a real time saver.

MTO should think LRT instead of HOV lanes

I learned of this study through a notice in our local newspaper.

I live north of the study area. In any event, while I appreciate that the use of a Class Environ-mental Assessment is to basically look at amendments to an exist-ing approved project, I strongly encourage the MTO and the province to seriously consider using the centre of this extremely valuable transportation corridor for the construction of an LRT rather than HOV lanes.

This LRT could connect with both the GO train at the Oriole Station (Hwy. 401 and Leslie) and also the Sheppard subway at Leslie.

This could go a long way to providing what could become a Yonge Subway relief line.

The problem with the current Barrie GO train is that it only serves downtown Toronto. There is no ready access to the major centres at Bloor, Eglinton and North York Centre.

The proposed LRT would most likely handle signifi-cantly more passengers than an expanded Hwy. 404 and people driving on the highway would see a constant reminder of the advantages of public transit.

So the simple question that the province needs to ask is: What would serve the greatest number of travellers? An HOV lane on Hwy. 404 or an LRT that connected with the TTC and GO transit so that public transit users from York Region could access all major centres along the Yonge subway line without having to either take the Barrie GO train to Union station then backtrack north on the Yonge Subway or alternatively take the dreadful VIVA bus “milk run” down Yonge Street.

I recently found the remains, (two front paws, a lot of fur and some intestines) of a black cat in the wooded/pond area behind Banbury Court. Based on the physical evidence, the cat was most likely killed and eaten by a coyote — the third in this area in as many years.

Coyotes are opportunistic ani-mals and will kill whatever they can to survive.

Unfortunately, some neigh-bours continue to let their cats roam freely and become the next meal for a coyote.

It is difficult to imagine the sheer terror, fear and agony of a pet that is grabbed and killed by a coyote.

Rules needed on how to fill vacant council seats

There is also the family that wonders what happened to their kitty cat.

Please let this be a wake-up call to all pet owners who let their pets, (especially cats) roam freely — it could be their remains that I find next.

Thanks very much.

Summer vacation a great time to teach kids skills

Two months of summer vaca-tion are slipping away fast for school kids.

Now is a wonderful oppor-tunity to teach a special young person in your life some life skills and introduce them to a few unforgettable experiences.

Instead of spending $50 to attend an event in the city, why not avoid the traffic chaos and spend some quality time with your teenager or preschool child here in Aurora?

Some of these suggestions might get you started: get out grandma’s old photo albums, vacuum and clean the inside of the car, learn how to make devilled eggs or pasta sauce, walk around old Aurora and look at the architecture of the fine old buildings, find bird nests in Sheppard’s Bush, sew a pillow top or discover the difference between a flower and a weed.

You might learn something too!

Yes, computer games are a great time passer, but children like to have “one-on-one time” with a parent, grandparent or aunt.

You can make a wonderful difference in a child’s life by shar-ing your hobby or knowledge with the next generation.

Have fun!

Mayor should not be criticizing police union

Re: York police union begins work-to-rule campaign, June 30: bit.ly/2a6K2yF

Concerning this article, the first thought that comes to mind is the lack of leadership on the part of the York Regional police services board chair.

Presumably, it falls on the shoulders of the Markham mayor, as he is the chairperson. How would his finger pointing address the escalating police budget and the impending job action?

The Sunshine List keeps get-ting longer and longer every year and has reached a critical point whereby more than 70 per cent of the force makes more than $100,000 a year.

ewmarket council has a big decision to make July 25 as it deals with how best to fill the Ward 5 council seat left vacant

by the sudden resignation of long-time Councillor Joe Sponga.

It shouldn’t even be a discussion.We’re not trying to sound glib.

Rather, we’re arguing the process for filling a council seat vacated partway through a term shouldn’t be up to a municipal council at all.

There are rules in place dictat-ing that a byelection must be held in any given riding when an MPP or MP resigns his or her seat, so why should municipal councils even pos-sess the option of appointing some-one to fill a vacancy? It has often been stated that municipal gover-nance is the level most accessible to the public and one could make the case it is the tier that has the most direct impact on the average citizen’s daily life.

Fortunately, Newmarket Mayor Tony Van Bynen has voiced his sup-port for a byelection. Regional Coun-cillor John Taylor has also come out on record to say he, too, supports filling the council vacancy demo-cratically rather than by appoint-ment.

“It’s very rare you have an appointment under a vacancy unless there’s less than a year left in the term,” he said. “The public has a democratic right to choose their rep-resentative. I lean strongly toward a byelection. There’s a lot of important issues here and knowing that person was duly elected when they vote on an important issue is important.”

We agree.A recent review of the Municipal

Elections Act resulted in changes such as allowing the introduction of ranked ballots and a ban on corporate and union donations to campaigns. Perhaps the provincial government should go a step further and make byelections mandatory at the municipal level unless a vacancy occurs within the last 12 months of a term.

Regardless if that happens, New-market council would do its citizens a disservice if it were to appoint someone with more than two years remaining in this council term.

Some may say that filling a vacancy through an appointment is a cost-effective way to deal with a resignation. A recent by election in Barrie’s Ward 7 reportedly rang in at more than $40,000 — not an insignificant figure — but how much is the integrity of local democracy worth?

Loss of bees poses

hazard for humanityankind will not survive the hon-eybees’ loss for more than five years.” — Albert Einstein

It’s an issue few people know about, but it’s just as important to our future in many ways as climate change: the fate of the humble honeybee, pollina-tor of fruits and vegetables and pro-vider of life.

Did you know pollinators are responsible for over 75 per cent of the food eaten on the planet?

Think about what would happen if they went extinct.

How would we survive?That’s why reports of massive bee

loss – like Sharon beekeeper James Murray’s one million-plus dead bees ¬ is so upsetting. As reported by York Region Media Group’s Simon Martin last week, Murray is concerned about the effect neonicotinoids (a type of pesticide) are having on his bees. He is hoping that a provincial government-instituted ban will have a positive impact on his hives. But he’s out thou-sands of dollars. It wasn’t just a matter of money for Murray. The bee deaths really hurt.

“It was horrible, I cried,” he said.Martin reported that bee loss across

Ontario reached 58 per cent in the win-ter of 2013-14. Another local bee farm-er, Andre Flys of Nobleton, was stung when his total number of hives was cut from 500 to 200. He suffered a 70 per cent bee loss in 2013 then another 50 per cent loss in 2014.

Something is clearly wrong.“We are at our wit’s end and we

don’t know how to continue,” Flys told Martin.

With neonics, as they’re known being reduced by 80 per cent by July 1, 2017 in crop use, the hope is that they can be ruled out as a cause of bee deaths. There are still concerns over the varroa mite as a cause of bee mortality or other pesticide and climate factors. More studies are being done and more information is always being gathered.

The European Union is currently undergoing a full two-year ban on the use of neonics and it’s hoped we can learn a lot from what they are going through.

If bee losses are closely tied to the use of neonics, as many believe they are, the European process will provide the data needed to prove it. If bee loss-es are still profound even after neonics have been eliminated for several years, then the factors could live elsewhere.

What is clear is that all parties, the government, farmers, honeybee own-ers and especially the public, have a clear and vital interest in making sure honeybees survive and thrive.

We have a growing population that will only continue to require more and more pollination in the future.

We can’t afford to let our bees die.

Re: Holland Marsh farmers suffer crushing loss of crops following Friday night’s severe hail and rain storm:

bit.ly/29NK6nYDavid Avard — Unless they agree to hire refugees only no money will come their way , but can’t count how many times over the years they have asked for tax dollars to help , other farms don’t get any when no rain or to much, so why them! Jenn Kovacs — How about you pay these people who sit on your farms for 16 hrs in the blazing heat more than 10 a day! Then ask the government for assistance for your failed crops due to horrible weather! I drive past holland marsh farm lands every single day and see these poor men and women sweating their assess off to help you harvest your crop!! Disgusting! Re: Beware the barbecue brush: A serious injury every cooking season bit.ly/29BQLzRKevin Paré — I find with proper clean-ing this can be avoided. I use a double sided brush that has a Brillo pad on one side. The grill should be cleaned right after use. Burn off the residue and brush. Then when it’s cooled brush again with the Brillo side until it is spotless. I’ve seen many grills where the residue is caked on. I can see how a bristle can stick to it. more than this location.

SOCIAL MEDIA

police services board essentially rubber stamped the benefits and salary increases without any seri-ous dialogue with the union to work out a blueprint for a bal-anced approach to smart policing and to maintain a long-term, sus-tainable police budget.

How is a mandated ticket quota an effective use of valu-able police resources? Members of the police board get paid to sit on the board to ensure the police force operates in an efficient and sustainable manner to protect us. The mayor is compensated to be the chairperson, in addition to his compensation package north of $200,000.

By the way, the mayor of Toronto makes less than the mayor of Markham, yet the City of Toronto is seven times larger than the City of Markham.

From an economics stand-point, I feel the mayor has little credibility criticizing the police union. There is a public bargain-ing process in place between the board and the union.

The process to determine the mayor’s compensation is done by council behind closed doors. What is the criteria? Where is the perfor-mance review? Where is the com-parison to cities of similar size?

The valid question is: Has the mayor been doing an excellent job to earn his salaries, sitting as chair and board member at the police board, PowerStream and others and being compensated by each and every organization?

To set an example, the budget restraint measure should start at the top.

Let us not forget the mayor’s pet project a few years ago, the GTA arena fiasco. Markham tax-payers were on the hook for more than $750,000 with nothing to show for it.

The irony is our mayor was re-elected unchallenged. The real question is: Do residents of the great City of Markham deserve better?

No shortcuts to academic achievementthe University of Waterloo to study mecha-tronics, the design of computer-controlled electromechanical systems. Due to his inter-est in science and programming, he was a member of the school’s robotics team and often participated in “hackathon” events where students are challenged to complete a complicated project in 24 hours.

Father Michael McGivney graduates Malavan Ragulojan and Janani Sathiaselan tied for second place in the region’s top scholars list as both achieved a 99.83-per-cent average.

They echo Niu’s advice of being among peers who have a passion for learning.

“My peers in the IB program were very supportive,” Sathiaselan said. “It was nice to face the trials and challenges of the intensive program together because we really under-stood and supported each other.”

The scholars agree that there is no short cut when it comes to academic achievement, only hard work, dedication and having the support of those around you.

Have your say on Samuel Lount Park next weekBy Simon martin [email protected]

Holland Landing residents will have an opportu-nity to have their say on a playground replacement for Samuel Lount Park during a public meeting that takes place July 21 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

The park will be closed until to Nov. 12 to permit construction of sanitary sewers in the area.

Given the construction interference related to the servicing work, developer Kerbel Group has agreed to cover the cost for the reconstruction as the play structure at the park has reached the end of its life cycle.

Residents can expect a new hard-surfaced sports

court area, new playground structure and base and new walking trails.

The estimated cost of the reconstruction of the amenities at Samuel Lount Park is $130,000, exclud-ing taxes. The cost savings amount to an approxi-mate 1-per-cent tax increase.

The town is also in the process of looking into the redevelopment of Mount Albert Park and plans to begin seeking feedback from residents.

There will also be consultation this summer with the Mount Albert Lions about partnering to develop a skateboard and scooter park on the site.

A formal public meeting will be held in the fall to gather community input, as well as consultation with youth at the Mount Albert Public School.

Outoor water use restrictions in effect

Sick of your dead grass and want to water your lawn? You might have to wait for the right day.

East Gwillimbury residents are reminded to fol-low the outdoor water use bylaw for municipally supplied water from May 15 to September 30. Out-door water use includes watering lawns and gar-dens, washing vehicles, sidewalks or driveways and filling swimming pools.

The daily watering restrictions for outdoor water use are: even-numbered addresses may use water outdoors on even-numbered days of the month and odd-numbered addresses may use water outdoors on odd numbered days of the month.

Water use is permitted from 6 to 10 a.m. and 6 to 10 p.m. The use of water outside these periods is against the bylaw.

“I am in my late 20s and have just purchased my first home. I love the house but it looks choppy. I’m not sure what works together and what doesn’t and I can’t afford a decorator to help me figure it out. Where do I start?”

First of all, congrats on owning a home while still in your 20s! You are young enough that you likely haven’t collected many decor items to which you are emotionally attached and that you can build a design concept around. So as you move forward with decorating your home, don’t worry about the trends and keep your eye out for unique items you will love for years to come.

The best place to start is determining the look you like and sticking with it. Why? In my 20 years of experience, I have seen time and again that es-sentially people’s aesthetic preferences really don’t change too drastically. It’s not often someone who has always liked traditional Queen Ann styles sud-denly has a penchant for a Barcelona chair.

Know that for the average home, the sofa-love-seat combo is typically too large. Try to avoid pur-chasing items that are too matchy. If you’re buying new, ask about materials and finishes that coordi-nate rather than match. Shop for furniture armed with your room dimensions and the location of doors and windows so you can accurately discuss the space and get the best advice possible.

Invest in a classic piece that will be an item you can move from room to room, repurpose, refinish or integrate into a multitude of different spaces in the years to come. Smaller, good quality furnishings are sound investments - a leather bench, a small, good quality chest of drawers or a classic hallway console can be refinished as your tastes mature and broaden.

A safe, long-term decision can be made by up-holstering larger, more costly items in neutral co-lours and subtle patterns. For example, sofas and love seats that are taupe, off-white, grey, black or brown are a good place to start because they don’t typically go out of style and they will generally work with most other colours and patterns or finishes you decide to introduce to the space.

Limit punchier colours and large, more vibrant patterns and prints to the smaller furnishings and decor items such as occasional chairs, benches, ot-tomans, throw pillows and throws. Smaller items

are less expensive to reupholster or refinish if you grow tired of them over time.

If you’re having difficulty choosing fabrics, take a queue from your own closet to determine your colour and style preferences. Mix in materials like leather to add interest.

Since they are often chosen and installed last, window coverings are frequently put up in a rush or as an afterthought. Don’t forget that they are an important part of creating and finishing the aes-thetic of your dreams because they often set the tone of the room. If fully functioning, they will also help protect the other investments in your home by providing light control.

Moreover, as a young woman living alone, win-dow coverings provide you with added security and privacy.

Don’t skimp on lighting. Invest by installing pot lights in your home to add value and elevate the look of any space. Multiple sources of lighting will give you maximum lighting flexibility at any time of day.

While at 20-something you are not likely in your forever home, investing in some customization that improves home value is never a bad idea. Perma-nent built-ins such as main floor laundry room cabi-netry, updated kitchen cabinetry, custom vanities and wall-to-wall entertainment units will typically add value while providing you with both function and the style you’re trying to establish. Be sure not to overspend by educating yourself about the value of your home.

Be cautious about investing in large custom pieces like armoires and stand-alone entertainment units that you think you will take with you if you de-cide to move. There’s always a risk that the cabinet will only fit in the home you’re currently in and will not have an appropriate space in your next home. If this is something that is important to you, wait un-til you find your forever home prior to making this kind of investment.

A

Friday storm unkind to Holland Marsh farmersBy Brea [email protected]

rea residents were in for some strange summer weather as unusually large hailstones poured down last Friday.

With a severe thunderstorm warning in effect, Environment Canada was calling for hail three-to-four centimetres in diameter, or “ping-pong sized” hail. Around 8 p.m., a large and aggressive storm hit the area – severely damaging crops within the Holland Marsh.

Some residents posting pho-tos to social media compared the hail to golf balls or toonies. Heavy rain also came with the storm. There were also multiple reports of cracked windshields and dented cars, but the extent of the storm’s damage seems to have hit farmers the hardest.

Jody Mott, executive director of the Holland Marsh Growers’ Asso-ciation, says upward of 20 farmers have experienced severe damage to their land, the equivalent of about 2,000 acres.

“Multiple acres of onions, car-rots and lettuce have been shred-ded,” she explained.

“Our guys have gone from deal-ing with extreme drought to flood-ed and destroyed land. Some were up to their ankles in water.”

Mott says she isn’t sure wheth-er the affected farms will be able to recover from such damage. The storm’s timing was especially upsetting, as some of the grown lettuce was supposed to have been harvested that Saturday morning.

When asked what the damage will cost farmers, Mott says a price tag can’t be calculated.

“This is going to affect each farmer very differently and I can’t speak for each of them. It’s really going to depend on whether or not they can salvage anything or if they choose to re-seed.”

Herman Gasko agreed, as he stood staring out into one of his damaged onion fields. Most of his 30 acres of crop, which included a large amount of both red and yel-low onions, cannot be saved.

He plans on disking what remains in a portion of his fields to make way for carrot seeds. As it is already so late into farming season, Gasko says the carrots will not be ready until the end of October or beginning of November.

“We will go well into frost sea-son, so I really don’t know what will come out of it. Costly is how I would describe all of this, in one word. This season is proving to be a chal-lenge.”

And a challenge it has certainly been. Farmers within the marsh have already endured two major windstorms, a drought and now a major hailstorm. Gasko and many

of his neighbours were forced to re-seed crops due to the windstorms over the last couple of months, only to lose a majority of them Friday night.

Now, the future of the season is uncertain. Farmers with crop insur-ance will do their best to ensure that whatever can be saved will be saved, though Mott says only a handful have that security blanket.

Farmers have been using an Epson salt spray to attempt to heal vegetables as quickly as possible to gain a better idea as to what can be salvaged.

Avia Eek, a councillor with King Township and a Holland Marsh

farmer, says Friday’s storm eerily resembles the destructive path of a tornado that hit the marsh in May of 1985.

The exception with this situa-tion, she says, is that it was not buildings that have sustained the damage; instead financial losses will be incurred by farmers whose crops were mowed down like grass.

“Our farmers have been working 19 hours a day irrigating for weeks now trying to keep what was seeded growing, in order to have a mar-ketable crop. After talking with the farmers I have, it’s clear many have come to terms with the damage and the loss.”

Eek says her family farm along Strawberry Lane and Aileen Avenue narrowly missed the storm’s damag-ing path, though the large amount of rain and upcoming heat wave will likely diminish their own onion crop.

Though the marsh provides 75 per cent of Ontario’s vegetables and 65 per cent of Canada’s, it is unlikely that consumers will see an impact on prices due to the storm.

“Unfortunately the heavy costs will all come down on us,” said Gasko. “Farmers always take the hit.”

Former Metroland editor John Slykhuis remembered fondlyBy Heidi [email protected]

Former Georgina Advocate editor John Slykhuis left a last-ing impression on his newspaper pages, legacy to his craft and com-munity, and indelible mark in the hearts of family and friends.

The 66-year-old Sutton resident, father of two and award-winning journalist who died of his injuries after a collision with a car while cycling on Black River Road in Sut-ton July 6, is being remembered by many for his rapier and satiric wit, encyclopedic mind, journalistic integrity, love of life and family, and no-nonsense attitude.

His daughter, Erynn, chuckled softly as she agreed her dad could be loud and forceful with his pas-sions and opinions when it came to his work.

”His convictions were unwaver-ing, but, behind the scenes, he had a quiet dignity, a loyal and loving spirit that will never be forgotten and will be forever missed,” she said.

A man who downplayed any act of charity he performed or any award he won as much as he wore his love of soccer and his beloved Dutch national team on an orange sleeve, Slykhuis had a huge heart and cared deeply not only about his family and friends, but also his community.

“He was the most open, honest,

caring person I have ever known,” Advocate photographer and good friend of 22 years Susie Kockersc-heidt said. “John Slykhuis was salt of the earth. Our hearts are bleed-ing now.”

While Erynn knew her dad found volunteering at the Georgina Food Pantry to be very reward-ing, she said she only just recently learned from one of her aunts about one of many acts of kindness that her dad left characteristically unmentioned.

A few years ago, her aunt asked Slykhuis if he knew of a communi-ty service that delivered Christmas cheer baskets, since she knew of a family in Georgina that had been going through a hard time due to illnesses in the family.

She didn’t realize that when he said he would take care of it, that he meant it literally.

“My aunt later found out that my dad went to the home laden with baskets of food, clothing and toys that he purchased out of his own pocket,” Erynn said. “The family never knew who helped them that year, as my dad never took any credit. He never bragged. If he saw someone in need, he would just quietly do what he could.”

Many this week paid tribute to the warmth, compassion and integrity of a man who welcomed a heated discussion as much as he offered a generous, giving hand

of help, who would watch every game of the World Cup of soccer at some point, but always tune in to watch the Dutch team live (even if it played in the middle of the night) decked out in full Dutch orange jersey, hat and scarf, whose passion and inquisitive nature included all aspects of life and all media, and who loved a good book as much as the records in his extensive collec-tions of both.

“He was the one who intro-duced me to classic 1950s MGM musicals and my brother, Damien, to epic historical movies,” explained Erynn, adding her dad was a big fan of British comedies and he took great pride in the fact he extolled the virtues of Game of Thrones several years before it became massively popular.

Always reading newspapers and magazines, listening to talk radio and/or keeping an eye on a news channel on his television in the background, Slykhuis remained a community newspaper man at heart, turning down an offer sev-eral years ago of a reporting job at a major Toronto newspaper.

Incredulous that her dad had “turned them down flat” despite the fact the job would have meant more money and prestige, Erynn said he loved what he was doing.

“He loved being the editor, the one calling the shots. Even if it was a small newspaper, he felt like he would be doing more and could contribute more that way.”

Often raising public ire as well as consciousness during his long career, Slykhuis boldly went where many other editors feared to tread, garnering respect even from those who were often centred in his jour-nalistic crosshairs.

“He was honest to a T and he was the type of man that would tell you his opinion to your face,” said former Georgina mayor Rob Grossi, whose politics and posi-tions were often at the centre of Slykhuis’ political commentary in the pages of The Advocate.

“Let me tell you, he was critical of me many times, but I always had great respect for the man, his thoroughness and quality when it came to his work, and for who he was as man. He was one of the nic-

est guys you could ever meet.”The six-foot, three-inch silver-

haired man could strike an impos-ing figure both in person and in print, but the polished and poised persona known to many Georgina residents was a far cry from the young, yet passionate, poofy-haired, lanky young 20-something who started his career in Bradford under The Topic banner.

“John Slykhuis was a character, always his own man, and always a dedicated journalist,” praised Mar-ney Beck, editor of the Richmond Hill Liberal, who worked with Slykhuis at the Topic Newsmaga-zine in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Beck remembers Slykhuis as a patient teacher and positive role model when she was just a rookie reporter learning the ropes.

“He had a gruff exterior, want-ing to project the image of a hard-edged newsman, but he had a big, compassionate heart,” she said. “He often offered biting, sarcas-tic comments, but he could be counted on to express the truth of situations even when others were reluctant to do so – especially in his writing.”

Slykhuis is survived by his chil-dren Erynn and Damien, mother Mary and siblings Reneka, Peggy, Trish, Martin and Ron.

He is predeceased by his dad, John Sr., brother Jeff and his dar-ling wife Jill.

JOHN SLYKHUIS: A celebration of life will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. July 16 at Skwarchuk Funeral Home, 30 Simcoe Rd. in Bradford.

It was a weekend to howl for a pair of Newmarket Huskies in Timmins.

Double visits to the top step on the medal podium from Cami Ormond and Nick Mota highlighted the track club’s performances at the Royal Canadian Legion track and field championships held Friday and Saturday.

Ormond blazed her way to victory with meet records and wide margins of victory in the girls under-15 division in the 1,200 and 2,000-metre events as Huskies club members claimed gold in seven events.

Ormond won the 1,200 in three minutes, 30.5 seconds to outdistance runnerup Madi-son Greig by more than 17 seconds. She won the 2,000 in 6:15.87 and 41 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Katie Newlove.

Meanwhile, Mota clocked in at 3:15.32 to capture the boys’ under-15 title and edge Kyle Koyanagi 3:15.56 in the 1,200 race. He posted a 5:55.56 in the 2,000 metres while teammate Dakota Goguen placed third.

Jonathan Desouza and Joshua Desouza won the under-17 boys 1,500 and 3,000 metres, respectively.

Will Jones topped the field in the under-15 boys 1,500 metres.

Stingrays’ Whitmore golden at open water provincials

Cassidy Whitmore sped to victory in the 2,000-metre race at the Ontario provincial

open water championships last Wednesday at Professor’s Lake in Brampton.

Competing in the girls’ 13-year-old age group, Whitmore was joined in the winner’s circle by Newmarket Stingrays’ clubmate Casey McColl, who finished third.

Meanwhile, Hannah Kiernan and Paryse Reed finished second and third, respectively, in the girls’ 14 years age group.

Alexander Axon had a third-place finish in the boys 13 years category.

Craney, Goodall celebrate Canada’s football gold score

In the end, Canada took the football and went home. With gold.

For the second time in four tries, a Cana-dian team captured the International Fed-eration of American Football championship with a 24-6 victory over the United States in Sunday’s under-19 tournament champion-ship game played in Harbin, China.

Led by head coach Warren Craney of Newmarket, the squad included 16-year-old lineman Matt Goodall of Mount Albert, who attends Huron Heights Secondary School.

Canada’s triumph avenged an earlier 32-14 loss to the USA and left the team with three wins in four games.

It was the second time in four years since the under-19 championship has been played that Canada took top prize. Canada last won in 2012 by defeating the Americans in Austin, Texas.

Ladies’ Golf Club of Toronto DIRECTOR OF GOLF: Padraig KellySTATUS: PrivateSIGNATURE HOLE: Director of golf Paddy Kelly refers to it as possibly the shortest par-5 in golf. Except that No. 7 at Ladies’ Golf Club of Toronto it is actually a par-3 on this Stanley Thompson-design. It just plays that tough.At 195 yards from the back tees, this downhill play over a creek, part of the East Don River which runs through the course, to a very small enclosed green isn’t for anyone with a case of the yips. Shots above the sloping green are trouble.Honourable mention: At 179 yards, No. 16 is almost déjà vu all over again.TROUBLE AWAITS: Looks can be deceiving. Just because a putting surface appears flat, it’s not neces-sarily the case. Study well before using the flat stick“That’s the teeth of the golf course,” said Kelly, in his fourth season at Ladies’.CURSE OF THE COURSE: The three finishing holes demand your full attention.Starting with the par-3 16th, a long downhill test and ending with a rare (by Thompson standards) uphill par-3, it’s best to not get too complacent. Sandwiched in between is a short par-4 test of 269 yards that plays tough thanks to a tight layout to this right dogleg. Grass and sand bunkers offer a final line of defence, waiting to gobble up short approach shots.Ironically, the 18th greets visitors to Ladies’ and lurks patiently for your arrival the entire round.GIMME A LIFE MEMBERSHIP: Ladies’ presents a culture shift from typical male-dominated golf environ-ment.

True, men have been welcome as guest card holders since 1936, but it is strictly a female membership of 410 players. In fact, Ladies’ is the last remaining pri-vate golf club in North America established by women for women.With its lack of forced carries, long and narrow fair-ways which tend to open up at the greens, the course rewards touch.Makes sense. As one of Stanley Thompson’s early and frequent designs in the York Region area, Ladies’ was established in 1924 by Ada Mackenzie, a top female golfer of the era, dismayed by second-class treatment she received at other courses. Mackenzie posed as Thompson’s wife in order to pur-chase the land under the premise it would be used as farmland. The course opened with nine holes in 1925 and an additional nine the following year. Surprise, fellas!CLUB-TOSSING TIME: Time to put on your thinking cap at No. 8.It’s a par-5 left dogleg and a true three-shot play to reach the green at 528 yards from the tips.

Off the tee, the wise club selection is a hybrid to clear the ravine. Driver and long can result in trouble on this No. 1 handicapped hole. A deft touch from the tee box is rewarded.

PANEL’S PICK: Mr. Wiggedy Whack’s infatuation with Stanley Thompson-designed courses is satisfied with this gem. He’s also a fan of quirky.

Playing uphill and over the road into the facility on the par-three 18th is a little off the map for Thompson but somehow when traffic stops for golfers, all is right in Whack’s world. Deep greenside bunkers offer protec-tion to the right side on this 165-yard conclusion to a fun and interesting round.

THE PRO’S VIEW: “It is the longest 6,000-yard course in the world,” offers Kelly, with a tip of the golf cap to the longish par-3s. “It’s a strategic shot-making course which above all else rewards accuracy over distance.”

GENERAL INFO: With 21 holes on the property, players can modify their round to beyond nine or 18 holes … Par is 72 for women; 70 for men.

GM Cella’s vision of Newmarket Hurricanes’ future starts now

IBY JOHN [email protected]

t is the total package. At least that is the view

of Newmarket Hurricanes’ general manager Eric Cella after revealing his spankin’

new hockey staff team Monday.The first-year general manager

for the Newmarket Hurricanes unveiled an eight-member staff, including head coach Tom Long-land and player development manager Adam Shoff, which he anticipates will steer the franchise back to its status as a go-to desti-nation for players.

Junior hockey has developed a reputation for its old-school tendencies and limited vision. Sure, not all participants are to be stamped thusly, but many are wor-thy of the label.

Cella is doing his best to alter the way junior hockey is offered,

starting with a three-pronged hockey staff that will address issues ranging from health and physical well-being, including a concus-sion awareness program and on-ice performance, while trying to advance players to the next level.

It all sounds good. But will it make a difference? We’ll see.

Cella is cognizant that the coaching staff has zero experience at the Junior A level. He is not at all disturbed by that perception.

“It’s a younger staff but already they are working with the players,” said the 49-year-old, who took over the GM role late last season.

Longland was part of the Toronto Titans triple-A coaching staff in the Greater Toronto Hockey League from 2014 to 2016, includ-ing the minor bantam level last season.

A former defenceman for the Pickering Panthers in the OJHL,

the 27-year-old Longland went on to become a two-sport athlete in hockey and lacrosse at Morrisville State University.

Also named to the coaching staff were David Rainford and Cur-tis Longland, younger brother to the head coach.

In addition to hockey back-ground as a coach, Shoff, who played hockey at the College of Brockport in New York, has a back-ground in sport science.

“They are all new school guys,” said Cella. “It’s about everyone working together for the team and advancing players. It’s not about the coach and him moving ahead. I think what we have done is put a complete staff together. Everyone in it is in it for the Newmarket Hur-ricanes. We have a lot of resources at our disposal.

“We’re developing kids and will compete to win although not at all

costs. The pay-to-play model is a different animal right now.”

He anticipates a team that is competitive but will stay within its means to do so.

The combination of Longland and Shoff, who have worked together in player development in recent years and whose clients include recent NHL draft picks Cameron Morrison, Adam Smith and Graham Knott, is a fresh look that bears the faint aroma of the Ontario Hockey Association’s Tomorrow’s Game concept.

For his part, Longland is confi-dent diving into the Junior A hock-ey waters directly from the minor bantam triple-A ranks.

Rainford, spent the last three seasons with the Junior C Stayner Siskins, including head coach in 2015-16, making him the only member of the coaching troika with experience at the junior level.

Curtis Longland is a former 2007 draft pick of the Barrie Colts. He played in the OJHL for the Orangeville Crushers and in the Ontario Hockey League as a member of the Colts. His coaching experience is at the triple-A level in Windsor.

The question: Is this new con-cept to be intimidated by compet-ing veterans? Or, is it the other way around – that the old-guard should be wary of this modern-day approach?

“I’m not intimidated,” said Longland, who was involved with the Hurricanes’ summer league development program this sum-mer. “I’m ready for this challenge. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and Eric has given me the reins to bring in our program to focus on development. We hope and think it will translate into suc-cess on the ice.”

Olympic heartbreak befalls local athletes’ encore hope in Rio

N o one ever said it was easy to make it to the Olympics. Nor is it a simple matter to hold your spot from one

Olympiad to the next.No, ma’am. It is a tough game

with constantly changing dynam-ics messing with your hopes and dreams.

So, although Newmarket’s Sheila Reid may still be the holder of the fastest time in the 1,500 metres among Canadian women this qualifying period — ostensi-bly from July 2015 to this month — even following the Canadian championships and Rio Olympic Trials for Canada’s track and field elite last weekend in Edmonton, nothing outraces an untimely injury.

“I was unable to line up today due to injury,” Reid wrote on her Twitter account after withdrawing from the event due to a right calf injury which kept her from com-peting. “The timing couldn’t be worse but this sport is brutal and

waits for no one.”Reid’s best time of four minutes,

3.96 seconds was one of three occasions on which she bettered the Canadian qualifying standard over the past 12 months. But, with a top two finish in nationals required to gain a team berth out-right, or an appointment by Athlet-ics Canada track and field coach Peter Ericksson, Reid was stymied.

The 26-year-old flew to Portland last week in order to get a final consultation with the medical crew for the Oregon Track Club Elite with which she trains. The injury is accompanied by compensatory knee bursitis. Painful. Disappoint-ing.

“I can assure you that my team and I did everything we could to get me to stand upright on the start line but simply ran out of time,” she wrote, prior to the race, won by Gabriela Stafford.

“It’s not sexy like a stress fracture but just as painful,” she wrote. “Another week of TLC is all needed.”

At least Reid’s sharp sense of humour seems intact.

Four years ago, you might recall, Reid was able to gain a berth for the 5,000 metres in London’s Games by virtue of performance and an extensive appeal process. The recent bad luck goes to now show the window of opportunity athletes face in reaching the pin-nacle of their sport. Truly opportu-nity knocks and it is best to be with packed bags and ready to go in a moment’s notice.

Joining Reid on the sidelines is Sarah Wells. The Unionville resi-

dent who ran the 400 hurdles in London was unable to overcome a hamstring twice torn this season, but gamely tried, only to finish fourth in Edmonton. She, too, had met the Olympic standard.

Injury didn’t sideline Markham’s Justyn Warner, who ran the 100 metres and was a 400-metre relay team member in 2012. But other runners did.

In short, stars must align in the areas of performance, health and flat out good luck. It’s no easy task.

The good news? Tokyo 2020 is only four years away and it’ll be a whole new game.

Leaders and followers

Missing: The alpha athlete everyone admired in a past era would strap a team on his back and lead it to a championships contender status, or better.

Basketball star Kevin Durant is unequivocally a major talent, mak-ing a mark with a pretty fair Thun-der team in Oklahoma City.

So, while signing with almost everyone’s consensus team to beat, as the Golden State Warriors seem to be, with a goal to win an NBA championship with a team that already has a championship and finals appearance in the past two seasons and seems to be ascend-ing, he may secure a coveted ring.

Gold digger? Team player? Opportunist? Don’t the best ones lead rather than follow?

In an era which seems to judge a player’s career by the number of championship rings he has, this free agency signing reeks of me-first and whiffs entitlement. It will be left to fans to determine their own takeaway to a player’s career.

Betcha a lot of fans outside Golden State Warriors’ Nation are cheering for a flop.

Just Jawin’ … Kevin Pangos is playing NBA Summer League basketball with the Atlanta Hawks. The Holland Landing native played his first post-collegiate professional season with Spain’s Liga ACB’s Gran Canaria.

BARTON, DanielIt is with great sadness that the Barton family announces the passing of Daniel Barton, age 80, on June 28, 2016. Danny's greatest love was his wife Beverley (Sweetie), to whom he was happily married for 57 years. Danny leaves behind his 3 children, Mark, Michael & Susan & their spouses who all live close by. Danny was Papa to 9 grandchildren & 7 great-grandchildren. Danny was the eldest son of 9 children of which he leaves behind 3 sisters & 2 brothers. Danny was in the automotive industry for over 55 years where he was respected and known as a very principled man. Danny had a great passion for sharing with others all he had learned from the bible. Danny served for many years as an elder in the local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. He has now fulfilled the Bible's words at 2 Timothy 4:7:

" I have fought the fine fight, I have run the course to the finish, I have observed the faith."

Danny will always be remembered for his kindness, his generosity and his loyalty to his god, Jehovah. Memorial to be held at Ballantrae Golf & Country Club, 1 Final Round, Stouffville, ON on July 17th at 7:00. NOTE: Due to safety and spacing, please respect the family's wishes for no children under the age of 10.
