Town pioneering

BY SANDRA [email protected]
No expert in the field of small business will talk at you about what you should be doing based on charts and market studies.
Instead, at the Whitchurch-Stouffville Un-Conference, which kicks off Small Business Week Oct. 15, you pick the agenda and you become the expert.
“There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the traditional model of conferences but it’s always good to get some new energy around events,” said Nirvana Champion, economic devel-opment officer for the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville.
“Stouffville is growing quick-ly and it is exciting to see our town pioneer a new approach to the way business conferences are run,” wrote Anna Rose, the municipality’s downtown co-or-dinator in an e-mail to The Sun-Tribune.
The N6 conference is geared at the small business — compa-nies with less than 25 staff mem-bers.
“Small business is driving the economy, so we’re doing what we can to support them,” Ms

Pay what you can afford.That is the up-shot of the Tory’s private
members’ proposed Ability to Pay Act.Party leader Tim Hudak stopped by
Whitchurch-Stouffville yesterday afternoon to speak with Mayor Wayne Emmerson and Councillor Phil Bannon about the legislation.
Council passed its support for the bill dur-ing Tuesday night’s council meeting, which came as no surprise as Mr. Bannon tabled a very similar recommendation last month that, in part, encouraged the provincial gov-ernment “... to take action to ensure that the emergency services interest arbitration sys-tem is fair and balanced for both parties ...”
After seven months of arbitration with the Whitchurch-Stouffville fire department, the firefighters were recently award a 10-per-cent increase, according to the mayor and councillor.
“We certainly respect our fire and emer-gency services here in town and what they do for our community, but we also have to respect the ability of the taxpayer here to pay for that service and we are looking at an expansion to 24/7 ... because we want to provide the best possible fire and emergency services we can.
“But that settlement, it puts us in a posi-tion where it’s restricting our ability to do that, to expand, to provide the services we

Whitchurch-Stouffville’s com-mercial vacancy rate is less than 1 per cent, or 4,000 square feet, despite the addition of 425,000 square feet over the past seven years.
“In a community like Stouffville, 4,000 square feet is practically nothing,” said Alan Drozd, manager of planning ser-vices for the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville.
“It means that you don’t have a lot of vacancies. On the other hand, we’re wondering if the lack of space is prohibiting people from coming in,” Mr. Drozd said.
The typical retail commercial vacancy rate is 5 to 7 per cent,
according to the Sept. 18 report to council.
Of the occupied commercial space in Whitchurch-Stouffville, the majority (47.1 per cent) is compromised of non-depart-mental/non-food store retail-ers such as pet supply and drug stores, as well as florists, accord-ing to Mr. Drozd. This is also where the most square footage gains have been made, according to the council report.
Personal and professional ser-vices make up 15.6 per cent of the total, while food store retail com-prises 13.8 per cent of the total, followed by restaurants (12.9 per cent). Home improvement retail-ers make up 2.9 per cent of total occupied space, according to the report.
Adding more commercial space rests with land owners of undeveloped properties, as well as other potential redevelopment sites, such as Main Street’s former Canadian Tire site, according to the report.
There is currently 150,000 square feet of available space at the SmartCentre on Hoover Park Drive and another 70,000 square feet is expected to become avail-able in the Baker Hill Boulevard and Main Street development project, according to Mr. Drozd.
A further report is expected later this year or in early 2013 that will provide more information on income and population growth and the types of businesses sup-portable within Whitchurch-Stouffville, Mr. Drozd said.

Last year, Stouffville Hyundai was up for best new business but lost out to Fishbone Bistro.
This year, the Hwy. 48 dealer-ship was awarded large business of the year by the Whitchurch-Stouffville Chamber of Com-merce.
The awards were handed out Monday night at the Royal Canadian Legion. The theme was “Boom-Town days of the Klond-ike”.
“Just to be nominated is a testament to what we’re doing here,” said Pieter van der Griend, Stouffville Hyundai’s dealer prin-cipal.
“I’m ecstatic for my team. I’m ecstatic for my dealership. It’s nice to be acknowledged by the community as a leader. We’re absolutely thrilled. It was unex-pected,” he said.
Hyundai was up against Bruce’s Auto Service, Chas. Rich-ards & Sons, McGregor Alsop and
Welcomehome Relocations.The small business of the year
award, which is for companies with 10 employees or less, was given to Biz-Zone Internet Group of Gormley.
Fishbone Bistro was named new business of the year, while Justin Altmann, owner of Alt-mann Country Market, was named young entrepreneur of the year.
It was a tie for non-profit of the year between Springvale Bap-tist Church and the Whitchurch-Stouffville Minor Hockey Asso-ciation.
Gillian Cawoosi of McGregor Alsop, a Stouffville-based engi-neering firm, was named employ-ee of the year.
Announced earlier were the winners of the family legacy (Schell Lumber) and lifetime achievement (Jim Thomas) awards.

Teachers’ after-school impact on students immeasurable
Re: No extracurricular activities could help students, teachers, letter to the editor by Lynn Crymble, and School system failing our kids, column by Jim Mason, Sept. 20.
Ms Crymble’s response to the cur-rent contract discussions in Ontario was certainly a different perspective and somewhat surprising.
It is unfortunate that during the many years she volunteered outside school she did not recognize the impor-tant education and additional value she was providing to the lives of a large number of her students through her work with them outside the classroom.
The impact participation in extra-curricular activities can have on stu-dents while in school and long after they have graduated is immeasurable.
In my case, extracurricular sports led to a university scholarship and a professional sports career after high school, thanks in part to the efforts of many teachers who devoted numerous hours and made the outstanding com-mitment to provide opportunities for so many students in addition to myself.
The work of my many teachers and the example set by them led me to coach with a number of teams after my sports career ended. It is one of the rea-sons I continue to volunteer today.
But even if these things did not come to pass for me, the skills of communi-cation, team work, collaboration etc. that I learned through these activities would do nothing but benefit me and, I am sure, thousands of students in our future paths after our school years had ended.
Whether it is the school band or a computer science group or a sports team, all students will be enriched through these activities.

Editorial
Tell us how you really feel, Whitchurch-Stouffville.
We asked the question last month: what’s your take on the new Stouffville?
We mean the new larger, more diverse and urban Stouffville.
It can be more anonymous.It is definitely more multicultural
than it was.There are more opportunities for
employment and education.We have many new facilities on
board for recreation and culture.But is it better?Is it a true home?We’ve heard from a few residents,
but, to be honest, not the groundswell we thought was out there.
“During the last (2010) municipal election, I didn’t feel a part of the pro-cess,” said one caller, a newcomer to our community. “All of the candidates — and eventual winners — seemed to be longtime residents. That didn’t sit well with me and my neighbours. Maybe we’ll see that change next time (in 2014).”
Fair enough, but one of those neigh-bours has to run next time, if that is the change in government you seek.
Another caller wanted more diverse sporting opportunities than hockey, baseball and soccer.
Cricket was mentioned. A senior wanted to know what was
happening in regard to a permanent seniors activities centre and the curl-ing club that was proposed a few years back.
The growing population of retired residents needs more to do in the new Stouffville, she said.
The lack of apartments and condos in the new Stouffville has been men-tioned. A reader liked the addition of smaller homes, especially townhouses in northwest Stouffville. But he’d like to see an even more diverse housing mix, including more 55-plus developments like Northern Gate and Eastern Gate in east-end Stouffville.
And residents of those two seniors’ communities want more retail shops and services in their neighbourhood.
How about you? Do you feel a part of the new Stouffville?
Let us know. You can e-mail your thoughts in a letter to the editor to [email protected]
You’re invited to a forum on the topic Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. at the Lebovic Centre for Arts & Entertainment – Nineteen on the Park.
It’s part of the arts centre’s new Stouffville Conversations series, a col-laboration with The Sun-Tribune.
Have your say, Stouffville.
Waiting to hear from you
Letters to the EditorI have to say I feel great compassion
for the teachers who devote their time and efforts to these activities.
Unfortunately, they are often closest to their students and suffer the most when their unions determine the first step in any job action is the withdrawal of the services these teachers selflessly provide.
Mr. Mason’s suggestion that teachers receive compensation for these efforts is a good one, but the economics of this proposal would be challenging.
So, to Lynn Crymble, I say thank you on behalf of all those students who got a chance to play the sports you coached and I hope you can now real-ize the valuable impact your time and efforts had on all those students.
On behalf of all students past, pres-ent and future, thank you to all the teachers who have and continue to make an outstanding contribution to the lives of their students through these activities everyday.
Doug McgeeStouffville
Putting wages in perspective This is once again the season for
teacher bashing. The proposed freeze of top teach-
ers’ salaries by the Ontario government and stories of job action by teachers get people talking.
Yes, top teachers’ salaries have increased by about nine times since 1971. So let’s do the arithmetic.
Using the same multiplier, gasoline should be 59 cents a litre, a modest two-storey house should cost $270,000 and the minimum wage in Ontario should be set at $14.40
Hmmm.

Off The Top
with Jim Mason
So, the millionaires and billion-aires can only agree to disagree.
And hockey towns like ours across the continent are left to somehow cope without our nightly fix of all things NHL.
We’re like junkies, once fed a seemingly endless, multi-plat-formed supply of live games, high-lights and player interviews.
Now, we’re going cold turkey en masse.
Listen to some analysts and call-in show experts and you’d think we were experiencing a famine or deadly epidemic.
It’s just hockey, folks.We’ve been through four NHL
stoppages during the last 20 years. We’ll live.But instead of sitting in front of
your high-def waiting for the big leagues to re-start, how about get-ting a life.
How about letting the high-priced talent know we can live with-out it?
How about using those hours you would be spent sprawled on the couch:
• Volunteering. Nursing homes, hospitals, youth groups and service clubs are always looking for help.
• Checking out the home teams. There is plenty of youth hockey, from the little tykes to Jr. A, going seven days a week on the four ice pads of Stouffville. You may even know some of the players.
And it won’t cost you $100-plus per ticket, plus parking.
• Playing your own games. Be it church league co-ed volleyball, indoor soccer or morning shinny, get active. Get social.
No two-way contracts or endorsements needed.
• Reading. Check out a book, electronic or old-school print ver-sion from the local library.
It shouldn’t be about that game played with a black disc.
No hockey? No problem.Jim Mason is editor of The Sun-
Tribune.
Remember the NHL? Who needs it?

any superlatives would be appropriate to describe the 168th annual Markham Fair — amazing, fantastic, exhila-rating, incredible. All suit this
semi-rural, semi-urban exhibition that’s long been accurately recognized as Cana-da’s country centrepiece.
Enhanced by an obliging weatherman, the big show attracted crowds that, when all heads are count-ed, should break existing records.
W h i l e watching an o u t s t a n d -ing display of fireworks during a pause in the tractor-pull, I attempt-ed to envi-sion scenes from the first M a r k h a m Fair 168 years ago.
Admittedly, to properly document activ-ity dating back to 1844, one should call on the expertise of Markham’s Rogers Gardham, whose patience and skill allows him to seek out facts and figures from media files of yes-teryears.
But I’ll try.
William Armstrong, the initial pioneer-ing president, would surely have awakened early on that all-important Saturday morn-ing. For he was both a farmer and a hotel proprietor, two very different vocations that undoubtedly took up much of his time. However, being an enterprising gentleman, he obviously enjoyed the challenge. So much so he was willing to go where no man had gone before — take the lead in organiz-ing a local fall fair.
But transportation to and from the site must surely have posed a problem, par-ticularly if Mrs. Armstrong chose to do the week’s grocery shopping at Locust Hill’s general store.
Since this was 70 years before Henry Ford would introduce his revolutionary Model T, Mr. Armstrong would need travel the three-miles by horse and buggy, dropping his wife off en route and hopefully picking her up on his return. Perhaps he walked.
While one can only estimate the fair’s attendance in 1844, Mr. Gardham recounts that in 1912, more than 16,000 patrons trekked past the pay station, resulting in gate receipts exceeding $2,000. “All records broken” read a headline in the Markham Economist and Sun.
In tribute to Mr. Armstrong and subse-quent presidents who’ve faithfully main-tained this enviable tradition, I trust a silent acknowledgment will be accorded each at the volunteers’ banquet next month. At the same time, I’ll shed a tear for those fair highlights that Mr. Armstrong would never

live to enjoy. Like: tasting Merna Burkhold-er’s coconut cream pie; Joyce Lapp’s lemon cake; Jeanette Sokol’s cranberry loaf; Kate-lyn Russell’s banana cake; Wanda Knight’s traditional pretzels; Phil Redshaw’s white bread or Andrew Wannop’s chocolate cookies; shaking hands with fair ambas-sadors Alana Tufford, Victoria Osadchuk-Hammond, both of Markham and Jennifer Lee of Stouffville; admiring beautiful quilts perfected by Stouffville’s Ruth Wagg and a group of ladies from Stouffville’s Christ Church Anglican; meeting Hannah St. Louis of Markham and Reni, her pet show champion cat; sizing up Don Miller’s 2,000 -pound Clydesdale; Jared Simpson’s 3.92-
pound potato; Hanna Marsig’s enormous pumpkin; Kelly Carrick’s huge squash and Jean Painter’s vegetable platter; inhaling the sweet smells of Paul Reesor’s hay and Lori Hulshof’s sheaves; appreciating the skill of 18 and under high point champion Elizabeth Jessop of Stouffville or enjoying the creative paintings by Markham’s Mur-ray Pipher.
All these things and more Mr. Arm-strong would never see or could never have imagined. This was Markham Fair 2012.

Food is sorted in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville warehouse, behind the municipal offices, Sat-urday.
The soup cans, boxes of macaroni and cheese and cash donations are still being counted, but by all accounts, the fourth annu-al Mayor’s Food Drive was another success.
“It was wonderful,” said Marion Wells, co-ordinator of Whitchurch-Stouffville Food Bank, beneficiary of the one-day blitz.
“We feel it was definitely successful and the cash donations were definitely above last year and we were encouraging that,” she said, noting that money pays for fresh food and helps fill the gaps when items run low.
The additional cash may be attributable to the Whitchurch-Stouffville Fire Department, which held a boot drive Saturday.
Geranium Homes also contributed quite a bit, Ms Wells said.
People who volunteered Saturday includ-ed a Stouffville Clipper midget hockey team, with players helping to sort the items as they came into the town hall.
“The boys were wonderful. They were on top of everything. That’s a big job,” she said.
Ms Wells noted donations at NoFrills, Metro and Giant Tiger were up over the week-end.
“Those who give, give of their time, give of their substance and we are so grateful,” she said.
Hockey team assists at Mayor’s Food Drive
Volunteers load up donations headed for the food bank near Musselman’s Lake.
Donations are welcome year round at sev-eral Stouffville stores and churches.
The food bank is located in Churchill church, near Musselman’s Lake.

IAN PROUDFOOT: Publisher has headed the York Region Media Group for past 16 years.
Metroland Media Group’s Metro-land Central division has been expanded this week to include the regions of Simcoe, Muskoka, Parry Sound and North Bay under the leadership of vice-president and regional publisher Ian Proudfoot.
The division, previously com-prised of York Region Media Group and Toronto Community News, now reaches a readership of more than 900,000 homes on a weekly basis, stretching from the heart of the city in Toronto to North Bay in Ontario’s Near North.
The expansion offers exciting new opportunities and relation-
ships for readers, clients, commu-nity partners and the more than 800 talented employees in Metroland Central, Mr. Proudfoot said.
Acknowledged as a passionate advocate of the newspaper industry, both print and online, Mr. Proud-foot now is publisher of more than 50 print and online products.
“Removing borders has created exceptional opportunities for our clients to extend their reach,” Mr. Proudfoot said.
In announcing the expanded division, effective Oct. 1, Metroland president Ian Oliver paid tribute to retiring vice-president and Simcoe/
Muskoka regional publisher Joe Anderson.
“Joe’s creativity, drive and strate-gic focus have made him a signifi-cant contributor to Metroland.”
Mr. Proudfoot held management positions in sales and distribution in Mississauga and York Region prior to his appointment as York Region Media Group publisher 16 years ago.
Last summer, in acknowledge-ment of Mr. Proudfoot’s “track record of success”, Mr. Oliver appointed him regional publisher of the Toron-to division under the newly created Metroland Central division banner.
Metroland’s York Region, Toron-
to, Simcoe, Muskoka, Parry Sound and North Bay groups have a tradi-tion of creating strong community partnerships and supporting non-profit organizations, through volun-teering, donations and services.
Mr. Proudfoot’s longtime com-mitment and outstanding contribu-tion to community was recognized when he received a 2011 Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship.
He is quick to acknowledge the contributions and talents of his employees, adding, “I’m honoured to work with people who have true passion for their communities and what they do on a daily basis.”
Media group expands into North Bay, Muskoka

Champion said.The un-agenda begins with a scramble
during which attendees propose topics for discussion. Once they have been chosen by the group, the sessions begin.
“Creating business-to-business networks is definitely a way to grow,” Ms Champion said.
“We’ve seen the potential of putting peo-ple together,” she said.
“This event will promote our community throughout the GTA, help support local and regional businesses and test new ways to build excitement for an event through our selection of local and regional event champi-ons,” Ms Rose wrote.
A couple of topics Ms Champion suspects will be on the agenda are non-traditional marketing methods, how to create new mar-kets and boost sales, as well as how to utilize social media.
“What does it really mean for the small business owner? I think there will be a great amount of discussion in there,” she said.

York Regional Police have released a photograph of their suspect in a downtown Stouffville fire they say was deliberately set this summer.
A 911 call was made around midnight Aug. 25 for a shed fire at 6 Church St., which is next to the Lebovic Centre for Arts and Entertainment - Nineteen on the Park and the Stouffville Lawn Bowling clubhouse.
Video surveillance tapes were obtained from the arts centre.
The suspect is a young, thin man with dark straight hair.
The shed was destroyed.The owner of the Church
Street home moved in a few days before the fire, according to the fire chief. However, there is no indication the new resident and alleged suspect are connected, police said.
The lawn bowling clubhouse sustained between $15,000 and $20,000 worth of damage to its north side, roof and ceiling. One window was blown out.

Admit it. We’ve all written fan letters declaring to Elvis, Donny Osmond, The Monkees and Jack-son 5, Debbie Gibson, N’Sync and even Justin Bieber how we’re their No. 1 fan.
We’ve told these superstars how we’ve named our pets after them, which happen to be the same kind as theirs and that we love their clothes and wear the same Chuck Taylors as they do.
Throughout the month of Octo-ber, the Whitchurch-Stouffville
Public Library wants teenagers and tweens to write fan letters, but of a different sort and only to WWE personalities.
The WrestleMania Reading Challenge, which is for students in grades 5 to 12, was created about eight years ago to get more teens reading, according to the WWE’s website.
This is the first year the local library has participated in the pro-gram.
“We’re trying to reach the older youth. We get a lot of the six year olds, but when they get to school, we tend to lose them,” said Anne
Houle, the library’s co-ordinator of children and youth services.
“Their time is kind of limited in terms of light reading because they’re playing ball,” she said.
OShawa SucceSS
Ms Houle heard about the Wres-tleMania Reading Challenge last year at a conference. One of the few Canadian libraries to participate in the program was from Oshawa.
“I thought it was interesting because of the WWE connection,” Ms Houle said. “Kids in that age (group) like WWE.”
Throughout the month, kids
in grades 5 to 12 are encouraged to write a letter to their favourite WWE personality to convince him or her to also read their most cher-ished book.
“It’s got to be something they really enjoyed. It can even be a magazine, because some boys you’re not going to get reading books,” she said.
Three winners — one from each age category (grades 5 and 6, grades 7 and 8 and grades 9 to 12) — will be chosen by Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library staff to have their letters sent to the WWE.
Eighteen finalists from around
North America will be chosen in January and win transportation, hotel and tickets to WrestleMania 29 in New Jersey next April, along with spending money. The prize is valued at $5,000.
These finalists will then com-pete in the WrestleMania Reading Challenge Championships the day before the main event, where they can win ringside tickets. The spon-soring library receives $2,000.
For more information, visit the library at 30 Burkholder St.

Local PC candidate Farid Wassef (from left), provincial leader Tim Hudak, Mayor Wayne Emmerson and Councillor Phil Bannon exchange greetings at the municipal offices in Stouffville yesterday afternoon.
really want to provide for this town,” said Mr. Bannon, a retired Toronto police officer who ran unsuccessfully for the PCs in Oak Ridges-Markham in 2007.
Calls to the firefighters’ union were not immediately returned.
The private members’ bill calls for govern-ment union worker settlements to “reflect the taxpayers’ ability to pay the bill ... grounded in the realities of the local economy,” Mr. Hudak said, while flanked by Mr. Emmerson and PC candidate Farid Wassef.
“The current arbitration system is giving out awards to government unions that are well beyond the ability of taxpayers to pay the bills,” he said.
The proposed legislation would have set-tlements reflect local circumstances such as the unemployment rate, community growth and if the mayor and council ran on a plat-form of freezing or increasing wages, for example, Mr. Hudak said.
A panel of three independent arbitrators would make the ruling within a three-month time frame.
Asked if yesterday’s visit to town hall was part of an election campaign, Mr. Hudak responded with: “There’s an old expression that the next election starts the first day after the last one.”
‘There’s an old expression that the
next election starts the first day
after the last one.’
In a media release from Helena Jaczek’s office, the Liberal MPP for Oak Ridges-Markham did not directly refer to the Abili-ty to Pay Act, which she could vote in favour of even if her party does not, but claimed the PCs have abandoned York Region fami-lies by refusing to support the Liberals’ jobs plan.

The provincial election is sched-uled to take place in 2015, but PC candidate Farid Wassef plans on hitting the campaign trail in the upcoming weeks.
“If (the Liberals) continue to believe and don’t change their ways ... the government will fall of their own demise, their own inac-tion,” Mr. Wassef said.
The Stouffville resident and pharmacist was acclaimed as
the PC candidate for Oak Ridges-Markham last week.
“I’m very pleased and delighted to be chosen again,” he said.
Despite last year’s loss to incum-bent and Liberal Helena Jaczek, Mr. Wassef said he was pleased with the result.
He also knows exactly where the campaign was lost — the new Canadians living in Markham — and he plans on correcting it this time around.
“You need 300, 400, 500 vol-unteers to help you with canvass-
ing. You have over 60,000 doors to knock on,” he said.
In the last election, Mr. Was-sef said he had between 150 and 200 volunteers on election day and only two months to campaign, so parts of the riding were missed.
NEW CANADIANS
“You make the best calcula-tion possible and hope you reach the people who are interested,” he said.
Mr. Wassef chose to run again shortly after the last election
because “it’s time for a change. We continue to waste billions of precious tax dollars in public health”.
As was the case last time out, health care is Mr. Wassef’s top priority, followed by improving employment options for university students and new immigrants.
Cutting Ontario’s debt is also on his to-do list, if elected, citing other provinces have rebounded.
“We can no longer blame our woes, like the Liberal government likes to do, on the recession of five
years ago,” he said.While those are Mr. Wassef’s
initial campaign platforms, he also wants to know what riding resi-dents take issue with, which is why he is hosting his first free com-munity barbecue this Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Altmann Farmers’ Market, 11703 Hwy. 48, just south of Hoover Park Drive.
“I want to hear from people, what are their issues, what are their concerns, what are they angry about,” he said.

LAST WEEK: Friday: Wellington Dukes 8 vs. Stouffville Spirit 3. Saturday: Spirit 2 vs. Cobourg Cougars 1. Spirit record: three wins, four losses, six points. Fourth place in North Division. COMING UP: Tonight: vs Wellington Dukes at Stouffville Arena, 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Kingston Voyageurs, 3 p.m.GAME NOTES: If the Stouffville Spirit hope to be suc-cessful on the ice, first-year head coach Jeff Perrin said his youthful charges have to keep things simple. ie. Keep it simple, Spirit. His team did just that against the Cobourg Cougars and skated off with a 2-1 come-from-behind win in Ontario Junior Hockey League
action at the Stouffville Arena Saturday. After a score-less first period, the Cougars opened the scoring with a power-play goal by Cody Mintz just before the halfway point. With the Spirit fending off a minor penalty to Joe Deveny, Alex Botten notched a shorthanded goal just 16 seconds into the infraction to tie the game. Deveny, a Stouffville resident whose brother Jason played for the Spirit three years ago and cousin Carson Devine played with them from 2003-05, scored the game-winning marker with just under five minutes remaining in regulation time. For Deveny, the goal was his first Jr. A tally. The Cougars outshot the Spirit 36-28. The vic-
tory by the Spirit was their second in as many outings against the Cougars this season and atoned for an 8-3 loss they incurred just 24 hours earlier in a road tilt against the Wellington Dukes.While the score was rather one sided, the Spirit actually played some sound hockey during the first 23 minutes and for their efforts, were up 3-0 early in the second period. But after that, things went south on the Spirit as they surrendered five unanswered goals before the second stanza concluded and another three in the final frame. Jacob Bauchman and Robert Powers scored first-period markers for the Spirit and Dylan Savory lit the red light just 61 seconds into the second period for the Spirit. The Dukes outshot the Spirit 44-24.INSIDER: Knick Dawe handled netminding chores for the Spirit in both games on the weekend after being released by the Sarnia Sting just prior to the start of their Ontario Hockey League regular season. On the injury front, Perrin reported all hands are fine entering today’s rematch against the Wellington Dukes. As for any roster changes entering today’s game, Perrin doesn’t anticipate making any. As a result, Dawe will continue to play between the pipes. Recently signed defenceman Dakota Redshaw registered his first point, an assist, on Bauchman’s game-opening marker against Wellington.GENERALLY SPEAKING: “It was a good effort,” Perrin said of his club’s 2-1 win over Cobourg Saturday. “We worked hard and got the job done. We just told the guys to keep things simple.”“It was probably our best defensive effort to date. We just told our guys to be patient, when you get scored on it’s not the end of the world. You don’t have to change things if we get scored on. Just stick with our game plan.”As for last Friday’s loss to Wellington, Perrin felt his club tried to get a little too fancy. “The first 23 minutes were good, but then we tried to play a different way. We tried to do things like carry the puck in instead of chipping it in. We just turned the
puck over and made mental mistakes.”Looking ahead to today’s rematch with Wellington, Perrin anticipated he won’t have to say too much to his players to get them motivated.“We’ve got some payback to do,” he said. “Last time we let them off the hook.”In scoring the game-winning marker Saturday, Deveny was relieved to get the monkey off his back.“It took a while, but hopefully that’s the start of more for us,” Deveny, who played the last two years at a prep school in Connecticut, said in scoring his first-ever junior A goal after Saturday’s win. “There were some two-on-ones earlier (in the season) I should have had.”

hursday, Oct. 4, 2012
Two Stouffville residents who play for Stouffville District Secondary School’s senior boys’ team have been invited to attend the Rugby Canada under-17 Eastern Canadi-an Skill Assessment camp in Kingston this weekend.
Ben Risi and Matt Carrick will attend the tryout, to be held at the Royal Military Col-lege, starting today and concluding Sunday.
Both players earned the right to attend based on their performances and skill levels that were exhibited at top regional competi-tions by a team of Rugby Canada selectors.
The camp represents the first stage in Rugby Canada’s High Performance Player Pathway and will provide players with a comprehensive assessment on where they are now and where they need to be in order to play for Canada.
With both players receiving their invi-tation in early September, Risi said the opportunity extended to him caught him off guard.
“I had heard that some of my teammates from Team Ontario had been invited and I had really disregarded my chances,” Risi said. “But it feels amazing to be asked to go to this tryout camp.”
To attend the camp with Carrick, a fellow provincial and high school teammate, Risi said, is extra special.
“It will be nice to go with fellow teammate
Matt Carrick as he has more experience playing at these higher levels than I do,” said Risi.
Bantam A Stars second in Oshawa
The Markham-Stouffville bantam A Stars skated off with the silver medals from the Oshawa Fall Classic after falling 3-0 to the Brantford Ice Kats in Sunday’s final.

Brooklyn Feasby scored the game’s lone goal in the waning moments of the opening period. Andrea Ellis and Lindsay Kilner each drew assists.
Frances Tenney stopped every shot directed at her to record the shutout.
Facing the Etobicoke Dolphins later that day, the Stars battled them to a 0-0 draw.
Payton Melvin recorded the shutout for the Stars.
Buoyed by a goal from Ellie Sasaki and
stellar netminding from Tenney, the Stars blanked the Cornwall Typhoons 1-0 Satur-day.
Later that day, the Stars got goals from Hannah Daniels and Sasaki to battle the Clearview Ice Cats to a 2-2 tie.
Finishing first in their division, the Stars advanced to the semifinals where they faced the Burlington Barracudas and emerged with a 1-0 win.
Jenna Steinman scored the game’s lone goal and Tenney posted the shutout to help the Stars advance to the final.
Other players contributing to the Stars’ silver medals were: Emily Boston, Dana Drew, Rebecca Hall, Juliana Hutton, Danika Kuznik, Tori Trimble, Emma Tworzyanski and Sarah Welsch.
