Church backs run’s‘friendly’
themeBY SANDRA [email protected]
Bob Leufkens brought his sis-ter, Leona Newlands, to her first Terry Fox Run about 20 years ago.
Now, Ms Newlands is paying it forward by inviting her entire Springvale Baptist Church con-gregation to this year’s Stouffville event, which ironically, has a theme of Be a Friend, Bring a Friend.
“He has this amazing heart for doing things for people who are hurting,” Ms Newlands said of her brother.
It was earlier this summer when Ms Newlands stood in front of her fellow parishioners and asked them to join her at the Sept. 16 event. About 40 people said they would.
“(Churches) can do things in Africa and they’re all good and we can support mission trips and I like that. But this is a cause that touches everybody,” Ms New-lands said.
Over the years, Ms Newlands has run, walked — while preg-nant — and rollerbladed or rode her bike with her children the various route distances.

Catholic schools in York Region may be one of only two regions in Ontario enjoying labour peace this fall.
York Region Catholic school board trustees announced yesterday they will sign on to a deal between the province and the Ontario English Catholic Teacher’s Association.
Toronto’s Catholic board was the first to reach agreement, sealing the two-year deal with the province earlier this month.
However, about a dozen other Catholic boards, mainly in southwest Ontario, have reached an impasse and filed for conciliation, union spokesperson Michelle Despault said.
York Catholic board chairperson Elizabeth Crowe said her board’s settlement is a result of a good relationship with its employees. “We want everyone to start the year off knowing everything’s been resolved ... When there’s no anxiety, then students can learn in the classroom.”
The framework agreement, which Educa-tion Minister Laurel Broten calls a road map for the rest of the province, includes a salary freeze, loss of banked sick days and a reduc-tion in sick days to 10 per year.
York Catholic teachers do not vote on the framework deal, but will spend the next few weeks “tweaking” non-monetary details, such as school transfers, with the board, Ms Crowe said.
The agreement prevents the automatic

A 43-year-old Stouffville man was killled after being pinned between a van and a wall in Brampton’s east end yesterday.
Emergency crews responded to the call at a vehicle auction services firm on Auction Lane, near Queen Street and Goreway Drive, and employed life-saving measures before the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Peel police have called in the Major Collisions Bureau to inves-tigate. Peel police Const. Erin Cooper said there were several witnesses who will be questioned about the incident.
Investigators have not yet determined the cause of the acci-dent, or whether the victim was an employee of the automotive auction lot.
No charges have been laid against the driver.

A 49-year-old Barrie man sustained life-threatening injuries after the motorcycle he was riding collided with a dump truck in Whitchurch-Stouffville Tuesday.
The collision occurred around 1:30 p.m. on Warden Avenue south of Bloomington Road.
The truck was southbound on Warden Avenue and making a left turn when it hit the northbound motorcycle.
The truck was driven by a 69-year-old Wasaga Beach man.
“We don’t know (if charges will be laid) at this time. But we are appealing for witnesses to come forward,” said York Regional Police Const. Blair McQuillan.
There were no other passengers and it does not appear as if the truck driver sustained any injuries, according to police.
The investigation continues.

Life-threatening injuries for Barrie motorcyclist
BY Jim [email protected]
They’re remembering The Nuge in Stouffville and Woodbridge.
Wayne Nugent, who taught and coached thousands of high school students in both York Region communities, died Monday. His funeral service will be held in Markham tomorrow. He was 71.
The native of Quebec, who coached and taught at Stouffville District Second-ary School from 1976 to 1982, retired in 2007 from a 42-year teaching career. His last post was at Woodbridge College, where a basketball tournament was named for him.
He had been receiving chemotherapy treatments for advanced bone marrow cancer at the time of his retirement.
The former Stouffville resident was Whitchurch-Stouffville’s sports person of the year in 2007.
Mr. Nugent was a charter member of the Stouffville Buttermakers slo-pitch team, whose Canada Day weekend tour-nament during the 1980s spawned the popular Strawberry Festival. He also refer-eed hockey in Stouffville.
Mr. Nugent was pursuing a career in professional baseball — rising to the double-A level as a pitcher in the Atlanta Braves organization — before a shoulder injury forced him to change paths.
He also played football and hockey, so with teaching already in the back of his mind, a career in physical education became a natural choice.
Calls and e-mails have come in from “as
far as Tokyo and Los Angeles,” many from former students, daughter Karen Beam of Newmarket said yesterday.
Several members of her father’s 1962 championship baseball team, the Lennox-ville Lakers, are planning to attend his funeral.
‘Nuge was always giving back to
people and loved working with
kids and getting the best out
of them. I believe he was like a
father figure to them.’
“Friendships were so important to him,” she said. “That was Dad right up until the end.
“He’s run the race, celebrated the wins and losses and I believe he knows victory. He was a man of victory.”
Whitchurch-Stouffville Mayor Wayne Emmerson knew Mr. Nugent as a good friend and Buttermakers’ teammate.
“Nuge was a team guy,” Mr. Emmerson said in an e-mail yesterday. “He fought the battle of cancer because he loved life and his family. During our Buttermakers’ era, we had some great times together.”
“Nuge was always giving back to people and loved working with kids and getting the best out of them. I believe he was like a father figure to them. He was well respect-ed in our town and known all over by many people and a friend to all.”
David Connell, the former head of
physical education at Stouffville Second-ary, remembers the day Wayne Nugent arrived at the school, when it was located on Edward Street.
A teacher from Quebec, he was to lead the Grade 7 and 8 classes – local elemen-tary schools were overflowing at the time – based at the high school.
“This big guy filled the door and said ‘what do you want me to coach?’” Mr. Con-nell said.
Together, they would lead a Stouffville basketball team to a York Region final.
Rugby was the other favourite sport for Mr. Nugent.
A favourite memory?“Seeing Wayne and a student both in
tutus dancing in front of the entire school at an assembly,” Mr. Connell said. “It brought the house down.”
Incidents like that helped make him a favourite with students.
“Here was this great big, gruff bear on the outside who was just a teddy bear on the inside,” Mr. Connell said.
Mr. Nugent is survived by his daugh-ters, Christina Baggs, Karen Beam and Charlene Rytwinski, grandchildren Andrew, Taylor, Haleigh, Cassia, Brooke and Brandon, his mother, Eileen, and sister, Anne Jones.
Visitation will be held today from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. at Dixon-Garland Funeral Home in downtown Markham.
A service will be held in the home’s cha-pel tomorrow at 11 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Cana-dian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family.

We all win under LCBORe: Time has come for corner store
liquor, editorial, Aug. 16.The Sun-Tribune editorial encour-
aged consideration of the proposal to allow convenience stores to sell beer and wine, saying it would be a major boon to small businesses. It mentions Tim Hudak’s PCs’ endorsement of the idea.
This is, I believe, the PC party that made no such change when it was in power.
And the party, which under Mike Harris, sold away 90 years of revenue from Hwy. 407, just to balance the books for one year.
And the same one that tossed around the idea of selling the LCBO. Cause enough for some sombre reflection.
The suggestion that convenience store owners, whose revenue is based entirely on their sales, would do a bet-ter job of restricting sales to minors than the LCBO is laughable.
What’s wrong with maintaining and expanding the present system under which we, as taxpayers, are the big win-ners?

Re: Stop bashing teachers, letter to the editor by Bonnie Jackson, Aug. 18.
Well, Ms Jackson, I am partially for your comments and partially against them.
First, the partially against part.You mentioned teachers go to uni-
versity for three years and then teach-er’s college for another year. These days that three-year credential often amounts to the right to ask someone if they want fries with their meal.

Editorial
We’re nearing the midway point between municipal elections in Ontar-io, including Whitchurch-Stouffville.
Two years from now, we will be approaching prime time in the 2014 election.
Lawns and street corners will be marked by multi-coloured candidate signs. All-candidates meetings will be on the calendar. The election hopefuls will be canvassing our neighbourhoods and hosting gatherings to find out what we think.
And what do we think? What will be the big issues in our
next election:• Municipal finances were one of the
big points of debate in the 2010 elec-tion. Incumbents were hammered by challengers over the amount of debt taken on by the municipality during the previous term.
Favourite targets were the new municipal offices, Stouffville Clippers Sports Complex, Lebovic Centre for Arts & Entertainment – Nineteen on the Park and the addition/renovation to the municipal museum.
Some of the challengers threw out big numbers, warning of upcoming financial chaos.
The incumbents countered that nothing out of the ordinary was taking place: this was how you grew a town in Ontario in the 21st century.
Facilities had to be built to satisfy the growing population and they had to be financed.
The winners? All incumbents were re-elected.
Since that election, little has been said about the issue in letters to the editor or discussion around the council table.
But you can bet it will be back for debate two years from now.
• And what facilities does this town now require?
A proper seniors’ facility, which was also an election topic in ’10, has to be at the top of the list.
We’d like the next council to re-vis-it the unused space in the municipal offices as a possible site. The building was purchased with the understanding the space would be rented out/used, possibly as a health clinic at one point.
It has the accessible space and plen-ty of parking, all in a relatively central location to Whitchurch-Stouffville.
This is all assuming Latcham Hall is only a temporary space for the seniors.
What else does our town need? More indoor soccer pitches? Crick-
et pitches? Another baseball park? A bandshell?
Let us all know in a letter to the editor. E-mail [email protected]
Which facilities do we still need?

Have your say
I went to university for six years to learn enough so I would have enough knowledge base, so I could learn more and become a successful consultant.
I have worked about 50 hours a week for 35 years to end up comfort-able but not rich, except for my five great adult children. And this was done with no benefits.
Let us all remember sick day pay is a salary support benefit (kindness) to people who are ill. It is not a right. It seems to me teachers (and, indeed, all of us) have become spoiled enough to think it is a kind of bonus pay.
Secondly, the partially for part.We, indeed, have put our children
upon teachers and asked them to be a parent to our children. This has been grossly unfair to teachers and incred-ibly harmful to family life.
Teachers have been asked to become social workers for untold thousands of children who are being abandoned by their parents.
Raising and fixing our children is not their responsibility or their profession. We often bash teachers because we do not want to admit our fault in this.
Good teachers deserve support from every parent. Make your children do their homework, read, learn arithmetic and other arts, and engage in beneficial activities that teach citizenship, cour-tesy and drive to succeed in life.
Ignorance is bad, teachers are good and parents need to contribute.

Off The Top
with Jim Mason
Marc Jordan’s unique voice and compelling poetry rang beautifully through downtown Unionville Sat-urday night.
But my mind was back in Stouffville.
Don’t get me wrong. The Markham Jazz Festival is an amaz-ing event. Such an eclectic offering of free music in a truly unique, old-town setting, 20 minutes from our home.
And Toronto boy Marc Jordan, who has written and recorded so many hits from the heart, is an all-time favourite talent.
But why not Stouffville?Where could we have our own
outdoor music setting, where you could grab a latte down the street, pull up a lawn chair and soak up the sounds during our too-brief sum-mer?
It’s not a new idea. We’ve caught acts on municipal stages as nearby as Richmond Hill and Ajax and as distant as Scranton, Penn. and Flor-ence, Italy.
The common denominators for a magical time were a unique set-ting, sweet weather and a solid act.
A proposal for an amphitheatre on the east side of Memorial Park didn’t go far in the face of neigh-bourhood resistance a couple of decades back.
But the second annual down-town movie series appears to be gaining momentum and a follow-ing. Recent releases are shown on a portable screen at a variety of rotating locations Friday nights.
The Muppets is on the docket for tomorrow night outside Lebo-vic Centre for Arts & Entertain-ment – Nineteen on the Park.
Civic Square, in front of the arts centre, is more than a sweet place to eat your lunch and read.
It’s a natural nominee for a concert venue.
Sounds good from here. How’s your schedule, Mr. Jordan?Jim Mason is editor of The Sun-
Tribune.

We're going to start with a soup, in thiscase Tomato Basil. What's neat about it iswe're using field tomatoes now, and freshgarden basil, which makes a distinct flavourdifference! Ingredients include lots oftomatoes of course, sweet onions, carrots,celery, vegetable stock, roasted garlic, basilextra virgin olive oil and 'spices'. 1L size.Reg. $7.99 ea.
And then, we'll have salad, in this caseQuinoa with Roasted Root Vegetables!Ingredients here are quinoa, roasted carrots,parsnips, sweet onions, turnips, red peppers(mild ones) and 'spices'. The dressing forthis cast is a caramelized onion balsamicmixture. Reg. $1.69/100g
And next, we're making Fried Calamariwith a Spicy Chipotle Mayo Dressing. Theseare not just the rings, but tentacles, too (myfave)! They'll be...
And further, we'll have a feature on ourfrozen Hawaiian Chicken, which featurescubes of chicken breasts, sweet onions andpeppers, all done up sweet and sour. Thisis best served over the rice of your choice.Reg:$17.98 Serves 3-4
And finally, we're going to be making arange of Jams and Preserves, but not inthe conventional 'jarred' sense. They willbe in our stronger deli plastic tubs (sameas our cranberry sauce), they will have nopreservatives or extraneous items, and inyour fridge, they'll have a 10-12 week shelf-life. What you give up is the very extended'shelf stable' life (once you open them theyneed to be in the fridge anyway) of product injars, but what you'll get is a more consistentsupply, the saving on the cost of the jar(it's substantial) and the labour saving ofactually canning the product in the jars, alsoan expensive episode. We'll start this weekwith Strawberry Jam, and we will augmentthe range weekly until there is lots of choice.250 ml size

This week, it's all about Lemons in all their splendor!We'll be making...LEMON LOAVES We make 3 kinds of these, and theywill all be featured. We'll have the 'Iced' variety, withwild blueberries, and lastly with local raspberries. Theyare regularly priced at $5.99 each.LEMON CHEESECAKES We make ours with ashortbread base, with lemon curd, juice and zeststirred into the cheese. Once it cools, we glaze it witha lemon curd glaze. It's a hugely popular dessert withus, probably one of our longest-standing cheesecakes.$14.95 and $22.95AVOCA CAKE Our family was recently on a trip toIreland, and while there we had occasion to visit a smallchain of food and artisan craft stores named 'Avoca'.While leaving the Dublin store after a rather completelunch, I noticed this most amazing looking lemon cakeon the dessert table and if I had any available space, Iwould have ordered a slice (or two) of it. What I diddo is explain it in great detail to Jaana, and asked herto duplicate it here, and this is what we've come upwith. It does not look totally the same, but the wholeexperience is outstanding. We start with a dense, richyellow cake, soak it with freshly-made lemon syrupwhile it's still hot, then cut it in half horizontally andfill the centre with a layer of lemon curd. We then makean old-fashioned 7-minute icing for the top (we 'singe'it too) and cover the sides with a combo of crushedcandied nuts (almonds, pecans and walnuts) and voila!The 'Avoca' Cake. We're making two sizes and they willbe sold for $17.95 and $26.95 each.LEMON TARTS Our tart shells filled with homemadelemon curd and topped with Italian meringue that hasbeen 'torched' for visual and flavourappeal!

These are nice local watermelonswhich are about three times the size ofa large cantaloupe — easy to carve —and they'll fit in the fridge, importantbecause they should beserved cold.
I mentioned earlier in the ad that wewere on a trip to Ireland — Dublinactually. One of my goals was to bringback the authentic 'Irish Sausage'. Well,I searched high and low, and foundlittle in the way of amazing sausages,but a visit to Guinness reaffirmed mythinking that this here is as good as itgets with Irish Sausage!
Reg. $4.99 lb
These are the ones we use to make all of oursandwiches, and actually the only kind that wehave ever sold for 27 years! We love them, and youfolks do too, judging by how many we sell. We buyonly the largest size (12's)and we'll feature them thisweek at...
OK folks, it's Tuna Salad with sweetred peppers, sweet onion, avocadoand mixed greens on a whole grainbun. Grethe and her girls assure methat it's an amazing sandwich, it'svery popular, and it's what peoplewant!It can be grilled!
If you need potting services you're inluck, as this week only we're pottingfor free! If you have house plants ormixed tropical planters in need of someTLC bring them in and we'll freshenthem up. There will be no labourcharge, only pay for additional plantsand materials used. Our own MixedTropical Indoor Planters will be onspecial as well, in a variety of sizes. Wedon't often carry many perennials, butthis week we're offering Hypericum,also known as St. John's Wort, for$5.99 a pot (reg. $7.99). It's a hardyperennial bush which tolerates a widerange of light conditions, with summerblooms and attractive autumn berries.... And, there will be more of our fallproduct arriving as August becomesSeptember!
This is the time of the year when these grapes areat their best, and this year is no exception. Theycome from California, the 'berry' has sized nicely,with lots of sweetness and flavour, and lastly, theprice is good, too!Reds, too!
This is a cheese with a story! It was originally madeto oblige King Louis XIV, who was looking fora replacement for the then very popular DutchEdam, which was probably off-limits as a resultof family feuds, mercantile policies, or even wars.It's a cows milk cheese, naturally coloured orange(to differentiate it from Edam) and aged from2 months to 2 years. The flavour takes on verydifferent characteristics during this process. Oursis aged 4 months, so you'll get a slight parmesanflavour, and when further aged, hazelnut comes tomind. The home-base for this cheese is Lille, onthe Flanders plains in France,home to multitudinous dairycows. Reg. $4.69/100g
WATERMELONSLOCAL
The mainstay of the Erie Beach Hotel in Port Dover is fresh Perch. You might findthe size of these a bit inconsistent, but the flavour certainly isn’t. My choice forcooking these? Dust with seasoned flour, then pan-fryin a nice amount of butter ....that’s it. A good artistknows when to stop.

‘m a sign-watcher. I keep one eye trained on the road and the other on roadside signs. It’s not an easy thing to do. It can be challenging.
I’m also a sign-changer. For several years I maintained the charity billboard at Stouffville’s
west-end entrance, now the site of Top Ten Auto. Cur-rently, I perform a similar duty at St. James Presbyte-rian Church on Main Street.
While you may think such signs do not attract attention, I disagree. People do look, even stop, espe-cially if the message is unique.
Recently, I posted the following: “Pray is a four-letter word one can say any-where except in public schools.”
The response has been amazing. Even before the memo was complete, pedestrians were watching, curi-ous as to what words could be coming next. Later, motorists were lined up with drivers and passengers pas-sionately pointing in the sign’s direction.
While no address was posted, e-mail reaction has also been unending, with most posting positive opin-ions. For example:
“It’s time someone took a stand” said one.“Don’t we all worship the same God?” said another.“Blame it on our weak-kneed politicians,” one said.I believe much of the problem lies with the lat-
ter — vote-conscious politicos. And with the former. They’re afraid to stand up and be counted.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe prayers are said in the federal House of Commons. Why not, Mr. Harper?
And I don’t believe prayers are said in the Ontario Legislature. Why not, Mr. McGuinty?
Same for Whitchurch-Stouffville council meet-ings, I believe. Why not, Mr. Emmerson?
As one writer put it — do we not all worship the same God?
And to the York Region school boards — why are prayers said at the beginning of student assemblies at Stouffville’s St. Mark Catholic School, but not at Stouffville’s Glad Park Public School located directly across the road?
Sardonically speaking, what’s good for the goose should be good for the gander.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not so naïve as to think a simple prayer, no matter how fervently said, will turn water into wine. But it can establish a decorum lead-ing to restraint and respectability, a practice often needed at both Ottawa and Queen’s Park. Sometimes even in Whitchurch-Stouffville’s council chambers.
And who knows, it might also be a solvent for bul-lying problems in our schoolyards.
During the past 60 years, I’ve attended, at one time or another, all 17 of our town’s Christian churches. Yet, in all honesty, I can’t recall hearing a single min-ister preach a sermon on this subject.
Are Christian pastors also afraid of being por-trayed as bigots, chauvinists or racists?
Unlike politicians, at least they’re free of negative returns via the ballot box. Or should be.
So let them speak out. Let’s all speak out.However, it’s one thing to point out a problem
and quite another to offer a solution. My answer is this: Let some authoritative figure, denominational or otherwise, step forward and compose a universal prayer, one suitable for all races, colours and creeds.
An immense task, but not impossible. Then, and only then, will some form of religious equality be established.
Jim Thomas is a Stouffville resident who has written for area news-papers for more than 60 years.
Why don’t they say a little prayer?

Candles caused about $150,000 worth of damage to a McCowan Road home Monday afternoon.
“Completely accidental,” is how Whitchurch-Stouffville Fire Chief Rob McKenzie described it.
The male homeowner was meditat-ing with candles. He thought he extin-guished them before going outside to cut the lawn, according to Mr. McK-enzie.
While cutting the lawn, the chief said the man noticed his home was on fire.
York Regional Police received a call at about 2:45 p.m. for a “small fire” at 13691 McCowan Rd., just south of Bloomington Road in the community of Lemonville.
‘not livable’
Only one room sustained actual fire damage, however, other rooms suffered smoke damage.
“Definitely not livable. They have to do work,” Mr. McKenzie said.
The man was “very distraught and very upset” according to Mr. McKenzie, who noted he was taken to the hospital but found to be OK and only suffering an anxiety attack.
Mr. McKenzie said the best way to ensure all candles are extinguished is to use a candle snuffer.
Candle causes $150,000 in damage to McCowan Rd. home
Officials investigate at the scene of a house fire in Lemonville, on McCowan Road south of Bloomington Road, Monday.

funds too,” she said.One thing Ms Newlands looks
forward to every year is listening to survivors.
“I run and I run very long distanc-es and it’s a very painful experience and you need stories to hang onto,” she said.
The theme of Be a Friend, Bring a Friend is two-fold for event organiz-ers. One, is to introduce people to the Stouffville Terry Fox Run.
“Stouffville has grown so much in the last five years and there are so many residents who don’t know Terry Fox exists or (that) we have an event,” said Sandy Schell Kennedy, co-ordinator of the Stouffville event.
Ms Newlands is not the only one who has extended an invitation. Bar-bara Schell, one of the original Terry Fox Run committee members and Ms Schell Kennedy’s mother, has invited her neighbours who recently moved to town.
new residents
“There’s a lot of new people in town. They might get involved. It’s the biggest event Stouffville has, we think,” Barb Schell said.
The second part of the theme is “being a friend to cancer research. That’s one more person making an effort to raise these much needed funds”, Sandy Schell Kennedy said.
Last year, between the commu-nity and school events, Whitchurch-Stouffville raised $143,000 for can-cer research. The $124,000 from the community run was the fourth highest amount of all 220 commu-nities that took part across Ontario. Another $19,000 was raised in local schools.
About 46 local cancer survivors participated and wore red shirts. So far this year, 50 survivors have reg-istered, according to Ms Schell Ken-nedy.
“We want to see as many red shirts as possible in that field,” Ms Schell Kennedy said. “When we see people as survivors, supporting the
cause, it’s not only visual, it’s emotional.”
Stouffville’s inaugural event in 1982 had 148 participants who raised $8,424.
In 1995, Betty and Rolly Fox came to Stouffville prior to the run. Perhaps it was coinci-dence, but participation and the amount raised almost doubled from the previous year. And every year since then the num-ber of participants and money collected has increased.
This year’s goal is to raise
$130,000 from the community event and have 50 new fami-lies participate, according to Ms Schell Kennedy.
fourth in ontario
“Stouffville, historically, has been a very generous commu-nity in many, many different ways,” she said.
This year’s event offers 2K, 5K and 10K route options, all of which start and end at the Whitchurch-Stouffville Leisure Centre, 30 Burkholder St. Par-

NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETIONADDENDUM TO THE CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Improvements to St. John’s Sideroadfrom Bayview Avenue to Woodbine Avenue
Town of Aurora and Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville
The Regional Municipality of York has completed an addendum to the Class EnvironmentalAssessment (EA) for proposed improvements to St. John’s Sideroad between Bayview Avenueand Woodbine Avenue in the Town of Aurora and the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville. The studyhas been conducted in accordance with Schedule C of the Municipal Class EnvironmentalAssessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007 and 2011) under the Ontario EnvironmentalAssessment Act.
Subject to the comments receivedas a result of this notice and thereceipt of other approvals, theRegion intends to proceed with thedetailed design and construction ofthis project.
The St. John’s Sideroad ClassEA Study completed in 1999recommended a two-lane roadwaywith a rural cross-section betweenBayview Avenue and Woodbine Avenue. Lands between Bayview Avenue and Highway 404have been approved for residential and commercial developments (as part of the Town ofAurora, 2C Secondary Plan). As a result, there is a need to confirm the recommendations ofthe 1999 Environmental Study Report (ESR) and update the corridor requirements based oncurrent traffic projections and development plans. The addendum to the Class EA Study hasrecommended the following improvements for St. John’s Sideroad:
• A four-lane urban cross-section with on-street bike lanes from Bayview Avenue to LeslieStreet;
• Sidewalks along both the north and south sides of St. John’s Sideroad from Bayview Avenueto Leslie Street with the provision of a multi-use path on the south side, when required;
• Full illumination along the Bayview Avenue to Leslie Street corridor, when required;• Maintain a two-lane rural cross-section from Leslie Street to Woodbine Avenue with the
provision of a paved shoulder to accommodate cyclists;• Traffic signals and left turn lanes at Woodbine Avenue, when required.
This addendum to the Class EA Study describes the problem, the assessment of alternativesand the recommended improvements, as well as the public and agency consultation programsconducted. This notice places the ESR Addendum on public record for review beginning August23, 2012, at the following locations during normal business hours:

This notice issued on August 23, 2012
rollover of teacher contracts, set to expire Aug. 31.
According to a ministry statement, that rollover would lead to salary increases of 5.5 per cent for many teachers and accumula-tion of two million more teacher sick days provincewide that could be cashed out at retirement.
Ms Broten urged other boards to follow the lead of York trustees’, which she said will enable the board to avoid an additional $3 million in costs and help Ontario balance its budget.
Those who don’t follow the framework deal face legislation compelling them to do so. The Liberals have called MPPs back to work early, Aug. 27, to deal with the Putting Students First Act, which would impose a two-year contract on publicly funded teach-ers across the province.
The Liberals want to push through a pay freeze to ensure teacher contracts with auto-matic grid increases don’t roll over when the current contract expires, something they say Ontario can’t afford.
That’s already happened at Bill Crothers Secondary School in Unionville, one of the earliest schools in the province to return to class.
The sports-focused school started its new school earlier this month.
The public board, teachers and oth-ers across the province are waiting to see what the ministry does about Crothers’ pay cheques issued to teachers this month that include grid increases.
Colleen Ireland, president of Ontario Sec-ondary School Teachers Federation’s York district, said the public school board is in a tough place. “They’re trying to honour teach-ers’ contracts while at the same time listening to the dictates of the ministry.”
In an interview yesterday, Ms Broten said if it’s passed, the legislation could require that money be reimbursed.
“Boards that do not negotiate an agree-ment and proceed with grid rollover will need to find the money in existing budgets and that will have negative consequences on students in the classroom.”
Getting that legislation passed could be a challenge.
Unless the Liberals win both byelections Sept. 6 in Kitchener-Waterloo and Vaughan, the minority government will need the sup-port of at least one other provincial party.
With the Liberals accusing the NDP of being unable to say ‘no’ to unions, and the Green Party calling for a merging of the public and Catholic school boards to save costs, the Progressive Conservatives may appear the best bet for passage of the bill.
York public school board and local bar-gaining units say they are preparing for a normal return to class on the first day, despite the controversy.
“We will be in school trying to avoid the divisive nature we’re hearing about in the media,” Ms Ireland said. “We’ve always had a very, very respectful, collaborative relation-ship with York Region and up until June, we’ve been bargaining in good faith ... We’re all waiting to see what the next steps will be. It’s a day-by-day process.”

Shout Sister! Choir is starting a chapter in York Region.
An information meeting will be held Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. at Stouffville United Church, 34 Church St. This chapter will be directed by Stouffville native Cora Ryan Westermann.
Shout Sister! Choir, which is non-sight-reading and non-audi-tioning, was formed 10 years ago by vocalist Georgette Fry to increase members’ self confidence, while enjoying all the benefits that come along with the experience of sing-ing together in a group.
The choir has more than 700
members, with chapters in Bel-leville, Brockville, Durham, Halibur-ton, Kingston, Ottawa, Northum-berland, Peterborough, Picton and Toronto.
Public performance was not an original intention for the choirs, but demand has taken them to a num-ber of venues. They have appeared on the Vinyl Café’s Christmas show in Kingston, for Stephen Lewis dur-ing his speaking tour and for Tom Jackson’s food bank tour.
They have opened for the The Nylons and performed on Parlia-ment Hill. They take their practices
to area seniors’ facilities through-out the year. This is in addition to their annual charity fundraiser each spring, according to the Shout Sis-ter! Choir website.
To reserve your place at the meeting, e-mail [email protected] with York Region in the subject line.
For more information, go to www.shoutsisterchoir.ca

For almost three decades, whenever there was a council meeting, Margaret May could be found in the gallery’s last row sitting in the corner seat, paying attention to every word being said and tracking where every municipal penny was going.
Miss May, as she was known throughout Whitchurch-Stouffville, stopped coming to council meetings about a year-and-a-half ago. She never got to take her seat in the new council chamber.
“She was so disappointed the last year she wasn’t well enough to attend,” said long-time friend Dave Probert.
Miss May died Aug. 14. She was 83.“I had a lot of respect for her. She was a
very genuine individual, in my view. (She) was an unofficial overseer of the municipal body,” said Marc Pourvahidi, the town’s trea-surer and director of finance, as well as the target of much scrutiny from Miss May.
“I valued her comments. Not necessarily agreed, but valued,” Mr. Pourvahidi said.
She kept the town’s bureaucrats on their toes, according to Councillor Rob Hargrave, who when first elected, garnered assistance from Miss May on the importance of devel-opment charges and town reserves.
“If you don’t have a Miss May out there, things can become complacent. She’s asking
about the little facts that may become the big-ger ones,” he said.
“I think she made the town better for it,” Mr. Hargrave said.
Miss May was born in Murray Township, near Trenton, in 1929. She had a passion for government. She spent about 34 years with the federal government, including 14 as an employment counsellor.
She had a classics degree from Queen’s University and one in journalism from Car-leton University. She also studied law and accounting.
Miss May also loved research. Whether it was genealogy, geography, archeology or municipal affairs, ask her something and she would find an answer for you, in between answering multitudes of her own questions.
When Mr. Probert first met Miss May back in 1982, he noted she would often disappear for days at a time to the Bancroft area to do geo-logical work. She was in her 60s at this point.
“She became a close friend because of her intelligence. She was unique. Margaret is a unique and wonderful lady,” Mr. Probert said.
‘If you don’t have a Miss May
out there, things can become
complacent. She’s asking about the
little facts that may become the
bigger ones.’
Mr. Probert was one of the few people in town who was able to call Miss May by her given name of Margaret. People were only able to do so on her invitation.
The pair met one “slushy, rainy night” at a council meeting when they were held at 19 Civic Ave. Miss May asked Mr. Probert for a ride home. She did not like walking back to the Testa Villa apartment building in the dark, he said.
It appeared she didn’t often ask for help, let alone accept it when it was offered.
Mr. Hargrave recalled seeing her pull her buggy along Main Street and asked her a num-ber of times if he could drive her home. She always refused, except once, on a wintery day
MARGARET MAY: Stouffville woman known for her shopping buggy and town council attendance died.
Margaret May, 83, was town council watchdog
when the weather was particularly miserable.Along with having her own seat in the
council chamber, Miss May had an “office” in Basically Bagels — the table just inside the Main Street eatery.
That is where she could be found every Monday to Friday from noon to 1 p.m.
“It was just her place. Her little greasy spoon,” Mr. Probert said.
Her 75th birthday party was even held there.
Miss May’s health started to deteriorate last year. She had a “slight stroke”, according to Mr. Probert at the time and she moved to Buckingham Manor, across Main Street from the bagel shop.
“She loved it. Absolutely loved it,” he said.Earlier this year, Miss May was treated for
cancer at Southlake Regional Health Centre.It was then that Miss May left very detailed
instructions for Mr. Probert regarding what to do when she died.
But Miss May battled back and soon returned to Buckingham Manor.
Miss May was re-admitted to Southlake Aug. 9. She died the following day from a brief battle with cancer.
At her request, there will be no service, only a private internment in the Belleville Cemetery.
Miss May did not marry, nor did she have any children.

The Stouffville Yankees finished second in the York Simcoe Baseball Association mos-quito select A championships at Bethesda Sports Fields last weekend.
The Yankees and tourney-champion Vaughan Vikings qualify for the Ontario championships that will be played over the Labour Day weekend in Stouffville. Twelve regional qualifiers will take part.
The Yankees weekend started off with a powerful display of batting in a 32-8 win over the Barrie Red Sox on Friday night under the lights. Caleb Wannamaker was the win-ning pitcher, with support from relief pitcher Owen McKnight.
Spencer Krabi had four hits and Jordan Ianuzziello, Peter Karanopoulos and Lucas Fasullo three apiece.
On Saturday morning, the Yankees lost 17-3 to the Vaughan A team.
Saturday afternoon’s game No. 3 was an elimination game with the victor moving onto the championship game and the loser going home. The Yankees faced the Innisfil Car-dinals, who were one of the best teams in Ontario during the regular season.
Throwing four innings and the maximum 70 pitches, Krabi tossed a two-hitter to earn
the win. Wannamaker came on in relief in the 7-2 win.
The Yankees had to face Vaughan on Sun-day in the championship game with Wanna-maker and Krabi unavailable to pitch because they had reached their pitch count limits for the weekend.
McKnight started for the Yanks and gave up no runs in the first three innings before he reached his pitch limit. Chris Temelkovski, Jaden Spylo and Mitchell Risto came in to pitch in relief, but the red hot bats of the Vikings and several walks allowed the Vikings to win 17-3.
The Yankees’ Karanopoulos, who had a .667 batting average over the weekend, and McKnight had two hits apiece each in the game. Krabi hit 11 for 13 for a .846 average on the weekend and was the Yanks’ top batter for the tournament.
McKnight, who hit at a .833 batting aver-age, was voted the championship game MVP for the Yankees.
On the B pool side final game, the Markham Mariners defeated the Vaughan Vikings B team 13-1. Markham defeated the Muskoka Hornets and Vaughan defeated Richmond Hill in the B semis Saturday.

How does a golfer attain a level of skill to earn a collegiate scholar-ship, win their club championship or fulfill a lifelong dream of turning pro?
Henry Brunton has a good idea of how competitive players can elevate their game to the next level, having been the national amateur men’s coach from 1999 to 2011 along with being a Cana-dian PGA Master Professional and the only Canadian listed among GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Teachers in America.
The Stouffville resident was quick to suggest it takes more than just being out on the practice range or fairways.
Authoring a thorough 221-page book called High Performance Golf: The Serious Golfer’s Guide to Effec-tive Training, Brunton strongly suggested a competitive golfer with aspirations on improving their game must make a big com-mitment on and off the course.
“There’s a lot of ways golf-ers can improve their game and there’s a lot of books out there on how to swing a club,” he said. “But I knew there was a need to give
golfers comprehensive informa-tion. I wanted to get my message out (through his book). Especially to help the serious golfer in pro-viding a guide to effective train-ing.
“If you play two or three times a week and want to get better, this book looks at all areas of the game from equipment, practice, ball striking, physical training … from A to Z. It’s a comprehensive book that gives golfers the whole picture, a pathway to improving.”
In writing his book, which took close to three years to complete, Brunton said it actually began before he came out with his first publication in 2009 catering to young golfers and their parents in Journey to Excellence: The Young Golfers Complete Guide to Achieve-ment and Personal Growth.
Lining up a publishing com-pany in Alberta in 2001 that was interested in working with him, Brunton put his initial thoughts on paper that year.
But when the company eventu-ally went out of business, Brunton elected to put his book on hold.
That was, until he attended a GOLF Magazine Top 100 confer-ence in Pinehurst, N.C. five years ago.
While there, he met an indi-vidual who made a presentation on books pertaining to golf.
They met and Brunton was given the encouragement to move forward with his book and did the majority of his work after Jour-ney to Excellence came out on the market.
In continuing with his book, Brunton said all of his thoughts did not come out all at once.
Rather, he did it when time per-mitted.
“I still had a lot of things on the go at that time so I wrote in spurts,” he recalled.
In the book, the main theme Brunton tries to extol is based on the principles of what he taught while serving as the national men’s coach; that being Long-Term Ath-lete Development — the guide to all Olympic sports science experts.
“It works, it’s tried, tested and true,” he said in his introduc-tion.
“In my time as the Canadian national coach, I’ve seen first hand what can happen to ath-letes and coaches who under-stand and effectively apply this information.
“I’ve used the methods in this book to coach world-class per-formers at the junior, college and elite amateur levels and they’ve produced national champions, world junior champions, NCAA champions, NCAA All-Americans and Player of the Year Award win-ners; one player even rose to No. 1 in the World Amateur Rankings. The best of the best have moved forward to succeed on the PGA and LPGA Tours.
“Those who adapt these train-ing techniques will likely see con-sistent improvement and remark-
able results. The book provides readers with a proven pathway to performance excellence.
“This is a book for those who want to play at the highest levels, what to do to make your score better.”
Elated with the final product, Brunton said he has plans to author more books.
Not right away though.
‘I’ve used the methods
in this book to coach
world-class performers
at the junior, college and
elite amateur levels and
they’ve produced national
champions, world junior
champions...’
“I have no ideas yet on what other topics of the game I want to write about. I’ll let this breathe for a while,” he said.
He now teaches at Eagles Nest Golf Club in Maple.

Make it two wins in as many outings for the Stouffville Spirit during their Ontario Junior Hockey League pre-season schedule.
Buoyed by a hat trick from Stefan von Engelbrechten, the Spirit turned back the Pickering Panthers 6-2 at the Stouffville Arena Sunday.
The Markham product’s brother, Tyler, starred for the Spirit during the 2011 OJHL playoffs. Tyler played for the University of Toronto Blues last season.
Wyatt Pickrell and Cory Simic split goal-tending duties for the Spirit, who outshot the Panthers 29-26.
The Spirit won 7-3 in Pickering Friday.The Spirit is scheduled to resume its pre-
season schedule tonight when it hosts the St. Michael’s Buzzers at the Stouffville Clippers Sports Complex at 7:30 p.m.
It visits Whitby Saturday and hosts the Fury at the Stouffville Arena Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in rematches of last spring’s OJHL championship series.
The defending OJHL champion Spirit opens the regular season at home Sept. 9 to the Kingston Voyageurs.
Phil Barski, who was the Spirit’s captain in 1998-99, is an assistant coach with Pickering. He received a scholarship to Bowling Green State University before transferring to the University of Calgary. Now 33, the Richmond Hill native had been coaching minor hockey in the GTA.
Car trouble for Hathaway in Montreal
Jason Hathaway encountered mechanical difficulties when he took the Stouffville-based EHR Team 3 Red Snap-on Tools/Rockstar
Energy Drink/Vortex Brake Pads Dodge on to the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve road course in Montreal Saturday.
That did not bode well for Hathaway as he finished a disappointing 26th at the NAPA Autopro 100 race.
Hathaway’s problems began during quali-fying last Friday when he felt a vibration in the motor. With Hathaway’s mechanical crew attempting to rectify the problem, he began the 23-lap race in the 18th position among the 35-car field.
At the drop of the green flag, Hathaway could not get his car up to its normal speed as the motor wasn’t running on all cylin-ders.
Crew chief Craig Masters bought the car down pit road to change a number of things on the car to see if they could solve the issue.
The crew changed the battery, the car-buretor and the spark plugs, but was unable to solve the problem on pit road. Hathaway went back onto the track and picked up a few positions finishing 26th.
“We didn’t even get a chance to race this weekend and show what we can do on the road courses,” Hathaway said. “I’m very proud of our road course efforts this year and this wasn’t the way we wanted to end it. We will diagnose the issue we had (Saturday) back at the shop, put the bad luck behind us and finish up the next three races strong.”
J.R. Fitzpatrick took the checkered flag.In the overall series race, Hathaway occu-
pies seventh place with 294 points. D.J. Ken-nington leads with 399 points.
The series resumes at Barrie Speedway with the Wahta Springs 300 Sept. 8.

A special thanks to Amie, Noemi and Nerba for their devotion and care during the last few months.A private family service and celebration of Audrey’s life has been held.If wished, donations in her memory can be made to a charity of one’s choice.

We thought about you with love today,But that is nothing new,
We thought about you yesterday,And days before that too.
We think of you in silence,We often speak your name,All we have is memories,
And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake,With which we'll never part,God has you in His keeping,
We have you in our heart.Forever missed and dearly loved,Wife Daisy and children, Michael,
Nancy, Colleen and Vic. Grandchildren Kevin, Jamie and Zackary.

Lovingly remembered by Mom, Dad, Joanne, Susan and Barry
