A hot goalkeeper can carry a team a long way.

The Stouffville Spirit will attest to that after they directed plenty of rubber, 42 shots to be precise, on Wisconsin Wilderness netminder Tanner Milliron during their Dud-ley-Hewitt Cup Junior A Champi-onship round-robin tilt at the Fort William Gardens in Thunder Bay

yesterday.Unfortunately for the Spirit,

they could only put two pucks past Milliron and in the end, suffered a 5-2 loss.

The setback dropped the Spir-it’s round-robin record to 1-1 while the Wilderness improved to 1-1.

“(Milliron) made all the saves. When we had chances to score we hit their goalie, but they found the corners on Jon (Hall, Spirit net-

minder),” said Spirit head coach Craig Donovan.

“We outshot them, but their goalie played well,” said Spirit for-ward Alex Botten, who collected one assist in the game.

The Wilderness drew first blood with under three minutes remain-ing in the opening period on a goal by Nick Drill.

Special teams’ play came into play during the second period as

the Spirit tied the game near the midway mark when Chris Porter scored on a power-play opportu-nity.

The Spirit then incurred four consecutive minors.

That came back to haunt them as the Wilderness capitalized on a pair of two-man advantage oppor-tunities when Mike Dietrich and

t was a vision that became an entity.

A dream that became a reality.

On a spring morning 60 years ago, the Stouffville Country Market officially opened.

This miracle on the Tenth Line will be celebrated May 5 at 10 a.m.

“It’s for everyone,” former property owner and event orga-nizer Norm Clements said, “espe-cially for those still around who remember when it all began. We want to recall the good old days.”

The good old days to which Norm refers, date back to 1952 when Walter Atkinson, a promi-nent Stouffville auctioneer, vacated a former curling rink on Park Drive North in favour of a complex that included beams and timber from 11 dilapidated Scarborough barns.

Under the watchful eye of noted barn-builder Morley

Spirit forwards Chris Porter (9) and Christian Powers (12) scored in Stouffville’s 2-1 overtime win over the host Thunder Bay North Stars Tuesday.

TENDERS

UPCOMING EVENTS

COUNCIL’S CORNERby ANDREA D’SOUZA

Council Highlights provide a brief summary of pertinent decisionsmade at a Council meeting. More information on these stories andother Council activities can be obtained from the Town’s website.

COUNCIL APPROVES MOVING FORWARD TOEXPLORE CREATION OF RURAL BROADBAND

INTERNET DEMONSTRATION SITE AT WSMUSEUM & COMMUNITY CENTRE

Council agreed in principle to establish a rural broadbandinternet demonstration site at the WS Museum & CommunityCentre.

Xplornet Communications Inc. is proposing to establish thispilot site to allow residents and businesses to test their new4G broadband service through a computer terminal. Theterminalwill be available for up to a 6month period. A detailedMemorandum of Understanding will now be developed withthe Xplornet Communications Inc. and return to Council forfinal approval.

The demonstration site would act as ‘proof of concept’for residents and businesses to test whether 4G satellite

broadband could provide quality, reliable service inWhitchurch-Stouffville. The Town’s Economic DevelopmentStrategy has identified the need for better broadband servicesin the Town’s rural areas.

It is also important to note that the Town is not endorsing thisservice, rather providing an opportunity for potential users tomake their own assessment before moving forward.

COUNCIL APPROVES RECLASSIFICATION OFLATCHAM HALL FACILITY

TO ALLOW FOR MULTI-PURPOSE USECouncil approved to reclassify the Latcham Hall facility tomeet the demands for more multi-purpose programmingspace.

Findings from the Leisure and Community Services MasterPlan, in 2011, indicated that based on projected futuregrowth within the municipality, the Town will require morecommunity programming space. Through the Master Plan, itwas recommended that the Town review all currently-ownedfacilities to determine how these facilities are being used.

Latcham Hall, a facility owned by the Town, was consideredas potential dedicated space to be used for a variety ofprograms. The facility was operated by the Stouffville LionsClub through a Council-approved Lease Agreement. TheLease Agreement provided for the Club to take responsibilityfor specific financial and administrative tasks using Townfunds to cover any expenses.

Latcham Hall was classified as a Category “B” facility whichmeant that the Town-owned facility could be operated

in partnership with a Board/Committee or third party. Inconjunction with the Lions Club, Council approved thereclassification of the facility as a Category “A” to allow theTown to operate it directly in order to use the space formulti-purpose programming.

At this Council meeting, the Stouffville Lions Club wasrecognized for their dedication and efforts in operatingLatcham Hall on behalf of the community.

The Latcham Hall multi-purpose space will be renovated thisyear. Staff will undertake interior upgrades to the kitchen,washrooms and main hall areas in order to maximize the useof the facility.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTSCouncil Approves the Terms of Reference for the UserFees and Rates Review Study

The Town will undertake a User Fee/Rates review to assistwith the assessment of its revenue.

This Review Study will look at the level of cost recoverythrough the user fees for various services provided by theTown. The study will also examine how these rates compareto other municipalities.

Council approved the Terms of Reference for this Study atthis meeting.

DELEGATIONSNorm Clements came before Council to announce thecelebration of the 60th Anniversary of the Flea Marketscheduled for May 5, 2012.

Time to re-open abortion debate

Re: Hey, sisters, speak out before any bras are burned, opinion column by Debora Kelly, April 7.

I would like to let Ms Kelly know not all “liberated women” necessarily agree with her viewpoints on women’s rights.

I am a well-educated woman in my 30s with three children and I take offence with some of her assumptions.

Although I agree birth control should be the choice of a woman and not part of the public debate, I do not agree abortion is only an issue for a woman who is pregnant. Most pro-choice advocates are ignoring the sanc-tity of human life.

Why shouldn’t an unborn child have the rights of a person? Obviously, MP Stephen Woodworth feels enough fel-low Canadians believe an unborn child should be protected.

Why should there be outrage from the ladies when Mr. Woodworth defends our children, not to mention our right to representation? I applaud him for going against the politically correct assumptions and representing those of us who look beyond the opin-ions of pro-choice lobbyists.

Who needs our protection more than a baby? Some argue a fetus is not a person because he or she can’t survive outside the mother’s body. If that is the case, why do parents and doctors and nurses fight to keep preemies alive?

Why is the untimely death of a baby from disease or cancer or accident such a tragedy but it is ignored or encour-aged if it is still in the mother’s body?

Why is it considered an especially heinous crime to assault or kill a preg-nant woman or child, but it’s OK for a woman to kill her child herself?

I think all Canadians need to revisit the idea of abortion, whether it is from parliamentary debate or coffee-shop

Editorial

Two murals were being painted in a tunnel in southwestern Stouffville this week.

The underside of the Hoover Park Drive bridge, just east of Walmart, had become a popular canvas for graffiti artists.

The murals were designed by Stouffville District Secondary School visual arts students as part of a graf-fiti cleanup day. Also participating were town bylaw officers, York Region-al Police and volunteers from Home Depot.

The bridge was also cleaned up last September.

The same area of town recently became an officially designated Neigh-bourhood Watch program zone.

The watch program, which is sup-ported by the York police, is aimed at reducing crime in the community through the active participation of its citizens.

The program involves getting to know one another’s neighbours and working to combat crime before it hap-pens, police say.

Last December, residents from the south end of Stouffville got together to discuss what they could do about the rash of break-and-enters that took place in their area.

Five Stouffville homes were broken into between Oct. 20 and Nov. 7. They all had their front doors kicked in, were ransacked and had jewelry stolen from them.

The watch program is not new to Stouffville. Other neighbourhoods have taken part in it over the years.

In many cases, it has launched in response to crime.

How sad.It’s all a reflection of how we live

today. How many of your neighbours do

you really know? If a strange vehicle was parked in

their driveway, would you know?Would you recognize a grow house

if it was on your street?As late, great York Region Media

Group columnist Dave Teetzel once wrote, we’re just not as neighbourly as our parents were.

Back then, everyone was on watch in the hood. They looked out, and after, each other.

How refreshing would it be to return to some semblance of that life.

To keep an eye out for our neigh-bours and our neighbourhood.

To treat others the way we would like to be treated.

Too pie-in-the-sky for you, Whitchurch-Stouffville?

Letters to the Editordebate. Tens of thousands of children are killed every year in Canada. If it was from a disease or preventable acci-dent, advocates would be sounding the alarm and it would be on the 6 o’clock news until something was done to save other children from a similar death. Because it is named abortion, only the mothers suffer regrets.

Canadian law doesn’t require records be kept of how many children are lost before they even have a chance at life.

It breaks my heart so many women and men have bought the lie it is just the choice of the mother and that a tiny human being is nothing more than “tis-sue” that can be disposed.

We can do better than that and I, for one, support Mr. Woodworth on re-opening the debate and defending the rights of those children who aren’t given a voice.

Mary-Lee raMbaLLCedar Valley

Female fetus protected, too?Re: Parliament should restrict Via-

gra, too. Letter to the editor by Donna Topping, April 14.

Fortunately, in a great country such as Canada, we are entitled to differing opinions and the right to express them.

Though I find it ridiculous to compare erectile dysfunction to abortion, I do agree we all enjoy rights and freedoms in this democratic nation of Canada.

Women’s rights have come a long way during the past 100 years and any legislation that can protect a woman from abuse and enable her to deter-mine her life should be protected and strengthened.

One question: What if the fetus is a female? What about her rights?

As hockey people go, Kenny Bur-rows isn’t much of a hat guy.

But he wore a black baseball cap with pride Friday night. You’d have to rip it off his head to get it. The fit-ting was 14 years in the making.

“Ontario Junior Hockey League champs” read the embroidery, the first in Stouffville Spirit history.

For all but three of the Spirit’s 17 years, Kenny has been there.

The former Stouffville Clipper minor hockey star started as a scout with the junior franchise, back when wins and star players were rare commodities in Spiritland.

He was an assistant coach before jumping in as general manager in 2001. He added part owner to the business card last year.

Kenny knows Stouffville. His parents started the Farmer Jack’s nursery business he and his brother now run.

Single and 45, he has no kids of his own – unless you count the 22 Spirit players in Thunder Bay with him this week shooting for a berth in next month’s national finals.

Sometimes reluctantly, Kenny Burrows has been the face of the franchise.

He can’t deny being its brains, a keen hockey mind who can spot talent where others often don’t.

P.K. Subban, the Montreal Cana-diens’ defenceman, was in Spirit training camp in 2005, after not being picked until the sixth round of the major junior Ontario Hockey League draft. Kenny saw the talent.

“I’ve got this kid coming to train-ing camp this week you’ve got to see, Jimmy,” he said two years ago. “He’s going to be something, I think.”

That “kid,” Drake Caggiula, was named MVP of the OJHL playoffs Friday. He has a scholarship to the University of North Dakota for this fall and is ranked for June’s NHL draft in Pittsburgh.

Kenny knows.Sun-Tribune editor Jim Mason is

Rural Whitchurch-Stouffville residents will be able to test drive satellite Internet service before buying.

Council approved Xplornet Communications Inc. establishing a demonstration site at the Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum and Community Centre to test the company’s 4G broadband service, during Tuesday after-noon’s council meeting.

Xplornet is a wireless broadband provider that aims to service hard to reach places and rural regions through-out Canada and the United States, according to an April 17 report to council.

The demonstration site is not intended to be a wire-less hotspot for the public “but rather an opportunity for testing rural Internet service on one terminal,” wrote Nirvana Champion, economic development officer for the town.

The six-month initiative is expected to start this June.“The town is not endorsing this service, rather pro-

viding an opportunity for potential users to make their own assessment before moving forward,” Ms Cham-pion wrote.

During the meeting, Councillor Susanne Hilton raised concerns the computer terminal would be used inap-propriately and the agreement currently lacks details regarding roles, responsibilities and conditions.

“I’m confident we can address all these issues in the memorandum (of understanding),” said Dave Cash, CAO for the town.

In 2010, the town was awarded access

to more than $260,000 in project funding

through the Rural Connections Broadband

program.

Ms Hilton also noted her concern over time limits for users and the potential for long line-ups of people wait-ing to use the single terminal.

“The intention is not to sit on the computer all day. We’re not anticipating huge line-ups of people,” Mr. Cash said.

“I’d be surprised if we had one person a day come through the doors to test drive the system,” said Coun-cillor Ken Ferdinands.

If residents choose to connect via Xplornet, monthly rates initially range from $54.99 to $59.99 plus the one-time activation fee, according to the company’s market-ing material.

“This may be the only viable system (available) to them for the foreseeable future,” Mr. Ferdinands said.

Service disparities were uncovered in the 2009 WS King Connects gap analysis report.

In 2010, the town was awarded access to more than $260,000 in project funding through the Rural Con-nections Broadband program. However, due to a lack of responses to the RFP the project did not go ahead, according to the council report.

Town staff then sought out a wired DSL solution via Bell Canada. But due to the project’s capital costs and Bell’s requirement of the town to subsidize a percentage of the project costs, it was deemed unfeasible.

“Telecommunications is not a core municipal ser-vice and a special levy could not be justified under the Municipal Act,” Ms Champion wrote.

A lack of Internet connectivity in the rural areas is “an economic development barrier” when it comes to attract-ing knowledge-based industries and supporting home-based businesses, according to Ms Champion’s report.

The pilot project with Xplornet will be at no cost to the town. The municipality only needs to provide a com-puter, according to Ms Champion.

TECHNOLOGY: Residents can test ItalyWhere are we headed this week? It's ITALY, and we're going to be there for a couple of weeks — and not to pick favourites North or South, we'll do both nicely blended. I can remember a long time ago seeing Marcella Hazan at Bonnie Stern's school, and she was in her element explaining the various regions of Italy and the cuisine that was unique to each region, almost like they had the 100 mile local diet long before we ever thought of it. I must say that Italian food is one of our family faves, and from the popularity that these items enjoy in our store, they are your faves, as well!

When you watch some more spectacular T.V. commercials, and you see the caution 'that you should not try this at home—or anywhere', the opposite would be true here. I don't mean the Buffalo, but the Mozzarella, with some of our neat tomatoes, balsamic vinegar (or glaze), olive oil, sea salt and fresh pepper. Just like créme brûlées, this is a benchmark that I use to judge restaurants — and perfection is probably more easily attained at home! A couple rules are a) always at room temperature, b) use good olive oil, c) use more mature balsamic, d) sea salt for sure, and e) freshly-cracked pepper. We will have a feature on this cheese this week, and the heirloom tomatoes!Reg. $5.99 each.Also, we will serve this as lunchtime fare at our café on Friday!

This is made in the 'antico' style in Parma, Italy, and when you get it, it has been in-process for 18 months...which is a long time in the preparation of food. I am assured that there are no nitrates whatsoever, and having enjoyed this on many occasions, I can assure you that it is a culinary experience not be missed. In fact, if you are in midday Friday, you won't miss it at all as we'll be sampling this beauty Ham.

These are the 'Molto Mario's' creation — all using the good stuff, all made in small batches, and all of them are pretty popular with us. There are six flavours, all in 680g size. Reg. $12.99 each. Flavours are: Cherry Tomato, Marinara, Tomato Basil, Arrabbiata, Alla Vodka, and Alfredo.

Our Italian sausages are probably the most popular type that we make. we use coarsley ground Omega pork, fenel, rosemary, salt and pepper and of course some garlic, as well as a few others. The sweet are mild, but the hot are really warm — be warned! You can grill these and have them on a bun, or just use the meat in sauces, or even grill and slice them into a stir fry or salad! Delicioiso! Reg. $4.99/lb

I love this salad because it is always light and refreshing and the seasoning is uncomplicated. We use small fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini) and some grape tomatoes, all tossed in sea salt, black pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, with a few slices of sweet red onion. Reg. $2.99/100g —At the Deli—

I am sure that in every culture there is an 'all encompassing soup'. What I mean by that is that there is a mixture of many ingredients, but all in measured amounts — and seasoned such that no one flavour dominates, and that it becomes a 'perfect blend'. This is such a product. With some pasta as one of the ingredients, of course, and that multitude of other items, all adding their touch! Reg. $7.99

When I was in Italy in the fall, we visited the farm where this rice is grown, harvested and 'processed'. You would not think of Calabria as a source of rice, but the particular area is very flat, and there is a well-spring in the middle of it (I'm going from memory here) that irrigates the area sufficiently to grow this. Now, I use the word 'processed' not in the true sense, as this rice is 'integrale', meaning that it is actually 'whole', and would be considered whole grain. When we visited, the farm owners took us all for a dinner in one of those mountaintop villages where nothing had changed for a thousand years, and the whole meal was constructed around different types of rice grown there. A fabulous meal, and as I recall, equally fabulous wine. The importer of this product will be on hand to sample this, but sadly, without the wine... Reg. $6.99/kg box

?DO YOU PLAY BALLIf you were interested in playing Slo-Pitch in one of the best leagues around, and you are over 25,( and a good sport), the Unionville Mens Slo-Pitch League has some vacancies for this upcoming season. For more info either see me (Evan) or hit 'http://www.leaguelineup.com/uspl' for info and the application form.

This week's soup feature is Cream of Potato with Bacon. This is a chicken-stock based soup with lots of potatoes, onions, some celery.....and, of course, the bacon, all cooked down and pureed into a cream soup. It's quite hearty, and in my opinion, delicious. Serves 3-4. Reg. $6.99

A SQUARE DEAL!Actually, these are not quite square, but they have the market cornered on decadence, that's for sure. They are all made right here in our little bakery, and the recipes are a collection from various archives that we have collected (and perfected) over the years. The flavours will be.....Cream Cheese Brownie, Triple-Chocolate Brownie (meaning triple the amount of chocolate), Pecan, Date, Lemon-Coconut, Iced-Lemon, Rocky Road, Sour Cherry, Nanaimo and lastly, Cathy's Cranberry. The regular price of these varies from $2.49 to $2.99, but all will be on sale at .....A word of caution is that these are best enjoyed at room-temperature,never straight from the fridge, no matter how powerful the temptation!1/3 OFF

THISWEEK

The actual bonus here is that these are not seasoned (or moisture-enhanced). When you get these, all the flavour is up to you, and I know that you can do it!. You can specify these either really meaty or on the thinner side, and they come to you without that insipid little tail tucked underneath. Try simmering these first in some Ginger Ale, or even Coke, until they are tender. This method imparts a bit of sweetness to the whole episode. Regular $8.95/lb

Hitherto, it’s been me telling you all the virtues of our Ham, but I now have independent corroboration of my story. At the recent Ontario Independent Meat Processors Convention, our MAPLE SUGAR HAM won the GOLD AWARD in the ham-making competition. It’s not that we’re so smart, or even innovative, it’s just our stubborn adherence to the idea of not cutting corners and taking shortcuts in the process of making our Hams (or anything else we do, for that matter). For Easter, Ham is the meal of choice, and we offer three types. Firstly, we make a great TRADITIONAL EASTER HAM. It’s with the bone in, it’s available either whole or half, and it’s slow-smoked over oak. Next is a BLACK FOREST HAM. This is boneless, slow-smoked over oak, and fully-cooked, ready to go. Thirdly, we have our MAPLE SUGAR HAMS. These are boneless, and slow-roasted with Maple and Brown Sugar until they are fully cooked. What is different about our Hams is they are not ‘extended’ like commercially-made hams are. When you read the label on a supermarket ham and see those words ‘protein added’, know that it’s not a good thing at all. What it means is that not all you are paying for...and eating....is actually ham..... and what ham you do get is of a texture far different than what ham used to be like, and ours still is. It takes us longer to make these, and they shrink during processing rather than grow, but what you get is the genuine old-fashioned article.TRADITIONAL EASTER HAMS.................. $2.99 /lbBLACK FOREST HAMS................................ $6.50 /lbMAPLE SUGAR HAMS.................................. $6.50 /lb........................it’s best to order early.....................

CHEESEThe final piece of the puzzle has arrived from the Foodland staff — it’s Caroline, one of the deli folk who had worked there for many years. During my ‘job interview’ with her, I asked what her favourite cheese was, and she replied, with no hestitation at all, that it was “OKA”. For years this cheese was the only artisanal cheese available from Quebec — but it has been a bit overwhelmed by the plethora of cheeses that now comes our way from ‘La Belle Province’. If you have the time, strike up a conversationwith Caroline about this cheese and prepare for a bite! Reg. $4.49/100g

B

Our beans are currently coming from Mexico and they are my fave bean — other than the locals, of course. What I like about these is that they are always tender, of a consistent size, and they’ve been handled well from there to here because they always last well.Reg. $2.49/lb

NEWCASTLE BROWN

WHAT’S FOR LUNCH!

WHAT’S THE

Many folk from the trade come to visit our store to see what we do and how we do it. Usually they’ll ask how we got started in the frozen entrée business. It seems to me that we’ve done it forever, but when I think back, Doreen’s Chicken Pies were the first thing (and for the longest time, the only thing) that we made. When it came to having a backlog of orders, we realized that our customers were telling us something. So this is it folks, the ‘Charter Member’ of our frozen entrée bus ine s s , wh i ch ha s grown quite large indeed.Serves 3-4 Reg. $17.95

What I like most about our soups, apart from the flavour for sure, it that the ingredient panel is straight-forward reading — it makes me hungry just reading it, and that’s long before it’s hot in a bowl lookingme in the eye! Serves 3-4 Reg. $7.95

This is an item that goes back a long way with us. In fact, I think that we started making these in our original little Main Street Markham store.What makes these so popular is (a) the marinade that we make - it’s delicious!(b) there is no waste at all; what you buy, you can eat, (c) they are easy to prepare - hot grill, 7 minutes each side on average, a bit more if it’s thicker, and a bit less if it’s smaller. Just slice it thinly across the grain when you’re done - maybe after a short rest for the steak, (d) it has that quintessential flavour of beef - if you like that flavour, you need one of these, and finally (e) they are very reasonably priced for what you get.Reg. $9.95/lb LIMITED QUANTITIES

This is a pork sausage which is ground slightly finer, seasoned with sea salt, pepper, sage, some sauteed onions and Newcastle Brown Ale. These will fit well into a bun or with mashed potatoes and mushy peas (ok, not mushy) on a plate with a spoon of gravy. Made with our amazing Omega pork. Reg. $4.99/lb

If you are new to our store, it won’t take you long to realize that we’re in the basket business. Although I’ve never really counted them, there must be thousands to choose from. During the festive season we make them up with food goodies to fit any budget or taste (including wine, if you like). You can pick what you would like and we’ll make it up, as well, or it can be boxed, as you wish! See Gill or Evan if you have a special request. We offer good value!

The season for these has now began - and it’s about as long as Chile itself is. The berries that we’ll feature this week come in a 6oz pack — a little bigger than others, and the flavour is good. The winter blues, at least the good kind, are here.

There will be a number of events hosted by the Queen Bees, and others, which will be taking place at either the Mill or at the Grocer. The full list is available on their website and ours, but I want to draw your attention to two in particular. The first is a wine and cheese pairing which will take place at the store on Dec 6th. Drew Innes, an instructor from George Brown, will be present to lead you through the process, step by step — and I’m going to serve some of our freshly made appetizers and treats.The second will take place on both Wednesday Dec 14th and Thursday December 15th, and it’s all about Christmas Dinner at the Village, and this time it’s not Turkey. I will be explaining, cooking, carving and serving some pretty neat fare, along with a touch of wine! Cost of each of these events is 79.99 plus HST (sorry about that), all well worth it. Registration can be done by calling 905-887-1127.

I can say t h a t we’re back for the season, but the fact is, we work on this all year long — and have raised and donated approximately $200,000 to local community-in-need initiatives.As we have for the past few Christmas’s, we’re providing Christmas Dinners for families in need through the Markham Foodbank. Last year, the count was 250 families and I suspect that we’ll have a few more to look after this year. How can you help? Firstly, the very festively decorated Grocermobile will be situated at Crosby Arena on the three Sundays preceding Christmas. We accept food items and donations, and we serve coffee and cookies. Secondly, we will be conducting a door-to-door canvas in a number of areas in town. This is how it works: We will leave a Village Grocer Bag on your doorknob with a note asking for donations or foodstuffs and letting you know the pick-up times for the following day on which the aforesaid Grocermobile will be by with the Elves and a big red firetruck, with the fire guys, for the heavy lifting. Thirdly, you can drop any donation or food item or unwrapped gift at our store, and we’ll make sure that it gets into the right hands. As a community, your generosity in the past has been awe-inspiring, and I’ve no doubt that this year will be similarily awesome.

We do have some of their great Advent Calendars yet, as well as a very large assortment of their famous chocolate, in all shapes and flavours. If you have ever been to the original store out in Victoria, you’ll know that it’s the epicentre of chocolate in Canada.

Four items this week, of which two are my faves. I love a good hearty soup and our Beef Barley Soup really hits the spot for me. Firstly, there’s lots of beef and secondly, the flavour is nice and long because we really cook the stock down. Simply stuf f real ly ! Featured this week at.......and located in the cooler on the north side of the store.The second item is Bruschetta Pasta, a salad really which is made with our Bruschetta mix and rotini (fusilli). I like it warm for lunch, with the addition of a few of our pitted black olives. It will be featured this week in the deli counter at .................... The third item is Mary’s Baked Beans. These are a hit for sure, but not with me and there’s a story..... My late Dad was a cook in the navy, and when he cooked at home it was beans — usually for a full week at a time.... and they and me, didn’t get along too well. Fact is, Mary’s are much better, and I’m almost ready to begin anew. 440ml size Reg. $4.99And the fourth item is Salmon with Café du Paris Butter. Café du Paris butter is a whipped butter that’s made with spices, including saffron and brandy, and in this case, lends a hand in making this oven-roasted salmon a bit decadent. Reg. $4.62/100g

This week our feature sandwich will be our oven-roasted Turkey with Provolone cheese. The deal is that you get the soup or salad as a no-charge bonus this week. You’ll love our lunches!

We’ve arranged a feature on our own savoury dip this week. It’s made with some sharp asiago and mild artichokes, which makes a great combo that’s long on flavour, yet smooth.Reg. $2.39/100g— Do you need a creacker to go with it? We’ve also arrange a deal on ACE CRISPS. The two together, it’s akin to romance!

Apple Pecan Loaves - I feel this is the best loaf we make. It is very moist and flavorful, full of apples and pecans and spiced just right..........................................................................Reg. $5.99Caramel-Pecan Cinnamon Buns – chopped pecans and extra caramel inside our cinnamon buns.

Instead of our regular shorbread crust, we have made the bottoms with crushed pecans, brown sugar and butter, then filled it with cream cheese mix swirled with caramel and fresh raspberries. The whole thing is topped with caramel, raspberries and candied pecans. $15.95 and $24.95 eachCaramel Pecan Shortbread - we had shortbread on special a couple of weeks ago, but didn’t make enough of these beauties, running out very early. So we’ll feature them again this week. What makes these shortbreads especially tasty and rich is the interaction of the added caramel with the brown sugar and the butter in the shortbread dough. Reg. $9.95 pkgWhat else is baking are our own Tourtières, Sausage Rolls, Mincemeat Pies in the freezer. Tubs of our Mincemeat, Mincemeat Tarts, Gingerbread Hearts, Bags of little Gingerbread Men, and for those celebrating the American Thanksgiving, there are pumpkin pies.

OFFTHIS WEEK

OLIVE OIL

VINEGARWe will be sampling a number of Balsamic Vinegars this weekend at the store. What defines their individual characteristics is: a) the amount of time they are aged, b) the different types of wood caskets that they are successively aged in, and c) the absence of extraneous ingredients. The various vinegars have differing uses. The younger are ideal for salads and marinating, while those more mature (and thicker) are best used as seasonings and condiments. I think that the world-wide popularity of this vinegar has overtaken the production capabilities of old, and one must be especially careful of the origins and ingredients of what is now sold as 'Balsamic Vinegar' — and this would apply equally to 'Olive Oil', which we're going to speak of next.

On the same trip to Italy that took us to the rice fields, we not only visited this olive oil processor, we actually harvested the olives, made them into olive oil, and

bottled it. This was a day-long episode — and like the rice, followed by an amazing and lavish dinner. We were also fortunate enough to attend an olive-oil tasting test — and what a surprise that was. We sell four types of olive oil from this family business, and you will be able to taste them all this Friday and Saturday. They have various regular prices, but they will all be on sale at...

Warm reception for champs

The Stouffville Spirit wasn’t on the agen-da but the junior hockey team received a mention at Tuesday’s Whitchurch-Stouffville council meeting.

The team is competing for the Central Canadian Junior A Championship title in Thunder Bay this week.

Team officials said Sunday Mayor Wayne Emmerson, one its biggest supporters, would be part of a large Stouffville contingent travel-ling to the Lakehead. But “pressing commit-ments here at the town” will keep Mr. Emmer-son in Stouffville.

Mr. Emmerson said during council he

would miss the Spirit’s opening game of the tourney due to a public meeting that night. The Spirit won 2-1 in overtime over the hosts.

Following Friday night’s Ontario Junior Hockey League title win in Whitby, a fire truck met the team at the Whitchurch-Stouffville border and escorted it back home.

“The kids were pretty impressed with the reception,” team spokesperson Mike Hum-phreys said.

The Spirit play the Soo Thunderbirds today at 2 p.m. The tournament’s semifinal is Friday and the final is played Saturday.

The Dudley-Hewitt Cup winner advances to the RBC Cup in Saskatchewan in May. See story on page 1 and yorkregion.com for more.

MAKINGin our COMMUNITYa positive difference


More members and a higher profile within the community are what Edward Nelles, the Whitchurch-Stouffville Chamber of Com-merce’s new executive director, wants to accomplish over the next three years.

Mr. Nelles got to work officially on these initiatives this past Monday morning.

“If we see ourselves further away from those objectives than we are now, you can bet there will be another person in my position,” he said.

Mr. Nelles replaces Mardi Taylor who held the position from March 2010 to January 2012.

One of its directors, Duane Cinnamon, along with chairperson Penny Reid, took charge of the chamber until Mr. Nelles was hired.

Ms Taylor was the chamber’s first paid executive director.

Helene Johnson held that role for 11 years, but as a volunteer, before she stepped down in 2010.

“The competition was really strong,” Ms Reid said of the applicants this go-around. “It was really tough making the decision.”

Mr. Nelles, who previously worked in the investment banking field, has been assisting his wife Carole for the past three with her business The Nelles Group, which is a promo-tional product supplier.

“I’m the junior assistant to the deputy fil-ing clerk,” Mr. Nelles said with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Mr. Nelles sought out the chamber’s vacat-ed post because “it’s a fascinating position because it allows you to get out in the com-munity and meet people,” he said. “I’m good at people skills so I love to get out and make the case for chamber membership.”

Those skills and the desire to want a value proposition for the chamber are part of why he was selected, according to Ms Reid.

“We’re in a transition period and I think he’s the absolute right person to take us from where we are to where we’re going,” Ms Reid said.

The case Mr. Nelles will make to those not yet chamber members include offering a more diversified field of activities and having a more proactive attitude towards its mem-bers’ needs.

The chamber currently has about 300 members, he said.

“It’s not (bad), but we can do better,” Mr. Nelles said.

There are about 900 businesses within Whitchurch-Stouffville, according to Ms Reid, which means the chamber has about one-third of them as members.

The average number of chamber member-ships in York Region chambers, she said, is 45 per cent.

“It’s really just a case of shoe leather, get-ting out in front of people and saying here is the chamber,” Mr. Nelles said.

And when it comes to his goal of the cham-ber having a higher profile within the com-munity, “I’m not saying anything negative about previous management. ... I don’t think it was even a priority with previous adminis-tration,” he said.

Mr. Nelles and his wife moved to Ballan-trae three years ago after spending 28 years in Markham. The couple have two adult chil-dren.

Elected to the chamber’s board during its annual general meeting April 2, were Karen Cashin (yorkworks), Kevin Dancy (Southwire) and Rick Upton (R World).

Open air burning is against the law in Ontario, but you can legally do it – with a permit.

So far this year, the Whitchurch-Stouffville Fire and Emergency Services Department has issued approximately 200 permits for open-air burns, according to Fire Chief Rob McKenzie.

A burn permit costs $35 and can be obtained at the fire hall.

Stouffville firefighters got a taste of grass-

fire season Monday night when they assisted the Uxbridge fire department with a fire on Wagg Road east of Concession 3. A wind warning for the GTA and most of southern Ontario was issued Monday afternoon.

Five fire departments responded. The fire swept its way across approximately 100 acres

No cause has been announced.Back in Stouffville, some of the stipula-

tions that come along with a fire permit include the property must be rural and a minimum of one acre in size; the burn area has to be contained to a specific size; a meth-

od to extinguish the fire must be at the burn site and the site must be supervised, accord-ing to Mr. McKenzie.

Members of the fire department also go out to the property for a pre-burn inspection, he said.

“The majority of the people in town are very good and the permit holders are very diligent. ... But we still have the people who don’t know there is a bylaw,” the fire chief said.

Another regulation has to do with the wind.

“If the wind is over 20 km/h they’re not allowed to burn,” Mr. McKenzie said.

Early spring is the busiest time of year for permits and open air burn calls because of the dormant, winter grass, which can easily catch fire, according to Mr. McKenzie.

For open air burn permit information call Stephanie McCune at 905-640-9595 ext. 243 at the Whitchurch-Stoufffville fire depart-ment.

With files from Torstar News Network

Whitchurch-Stouffville fire crews helped fight a large fire, pushed by high winds that raged across several properties on the north side of Wagg Road east of Concession 3 Monday,

A new age is dawning for retirement homes as they prepare to get in line with provincial regulations aimed at protecting seniors.

By July 3, every retirement home in Ontario must apply for a licence under the Retirement Homes Act as part of an effort to ensure seniors are safe and com-fortable and treated with dignity and respect, Minister Responsible for Seniors Linda Jeffrey said.

“I think it’s a good piece of consumer protection,” Chartwell Seniors Housing Real Estate Investment Trust COO Karen Sullivan said, adding there was no down-side from her perspective.

The Mississauga-based company operates more than 180 locations across Canada, including 103 in Ontario.

Their local retirement residences include Newmar-ket’s Barton, Aurora’s Park Place Manor, Thornhill’s Constantia, Vaughan’s Valley Vista, Woodbridge’s Pine Grove Lodge and Markham’s Rouge Valley.

A lot of the ideas in the legislation and regulations are things that were already being done voluntarily, she said.

The Ontario Retirement Communities Association accredits about 80 per cent of the province’s homes already and, as a publicly traded company, Chartwell tried to maintain the same standards across its opera-tions, no matter the variations in provincial legislation, Ms Sullivan said.

Though she has mixed feelings about the new legis-lation, Advocacy Centre for the Elderly CEO Judith Wahl thinks provincial licensing is a step up from the lower, industry-regulated retirement communities associa-tion standards.

“It will get the retirement homes out of the closet,” she said, noting the regulations are well short of the

more stringent legislation governing long-term care homes, including inspections mandated only every three years.

A key to how well the new system works will be the independent regulatory board now being set up, Ms Wahl said.

The Retirement Homes Act was passed in 2010. While regulations are being phased in, those in effect next week include:

• Requiring all retirement homes to acquire a licence;

• Posting, in each home, a residents’ bill of rights; and

• Training staff about abuse issues, fire-prevention and other safety measures.

There are about 40,000 Ontario seniors in 700 such homes, according to the province, and by 2017, there will be, for the first time, more residents older than 65 than younger than 14.

York Region’s population is generally younger than the provincial average, but make no mistake: the “silver tsunami” is set to wash ashore here as well.

York’s 92,000 seniors accounted for 10 per cent of the population in 2006.

However, by 2031, the region projects 312,000 seniors will call York home, about 22 per cent of the population.

Moreover, about 100,000 to 150,000 York Region baby boomers are expected to retire in the next 10 years.

On one hand, the act’s shortfalls render it “terrible”, Ms Wahl said, but, on the other, it’s a step in the right direction.

“We need to go further than this. This is the econo-my model,” she said.

More than $60,000 has been raised for a new Stouffville skateboard park.

The money was raised during the sold-out April 12 fundraiser at Sleepy Hollow Golf and Country Club. The event was spearheaded by Mayor Wayne Emmerson and hosted by TSN Radio’s Mike Richards.

“Very successful,” is how Mr. Emmerson described the event to The Sun-Tribune.

“A lot of good support from the corporate people and some private donations,” he said, noting two businesses donated $5,000 each.

When Mr. Emmerson announced the event, he noted his goal was to “personally raise $100,000” towards the cost of building a skateboard park that is ideally located for everyone to enjoy and constructed in a man-ner that enables an expansion over the next

few years.The mayor said the funding shortfall will

be made up with proceeds from his golf tour-nament.

Another function, this time for the kids, is being planned for September, according to Mr. Emmerson.

“We’ve got some surprises for them,” he said.

Mr. Emmerson added he was “confident” the park will be built in 2013.

The town’s first skate park was constructed about 15 years ago, he said. It is in Memorial Park across the street from Latcham Hall.

A skateboard store — North of 7 Board Shop — is expected to open later this month on the corner of Main and Church streets.

There’s no irony in this week’s milestones of two important charters, one national and one local, for York Region Food Network executive director Joan Stonehocker.

“It’s serendipity,” she said gleefully of the 30th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms coinciding with the birth of the York Region Food Charter Tuesday. “We’re thrilled and excited.”

Prior to hosting a food charter working group at the network’s new facility in Aurora, United Way of York Region community invest-ment director Janice Chu was on hand to announce strength investments funding val-ued at $40,000 for the network.

The visit is the first of five for United Way, which, earlier this month, announced the continuation of its transformational initiative with funding for five community projects in York Region.

The food charter is the first recipient, Ms Chu said.

The funds will help develop the definitive blueprint that will guide community, enter-prise and government to work collaboratively to identify and promote local food priorities, programs and food security across the region.

The network and United Way have been intertwined for a long time, Ms Stonehocker said, adding the funds allow for the hiring of a part-time employee to get the project off the ground in an organized manner, culminating in a healthier food system for the region.

United Way’s strength investments this year total $150,000, Ms Chu said. Other recipients

include Alliance for a Better Georgina’s rewil-

ding young entrepreneurs project, Aurora’s

Charles Darrow Co-operative Housing’s com-

munity development in action phase two,

Vaughan’s Enterprise Promotion and Innova-

tion Centre’s forging empower access trans-

formation project and People First Markham

Chapter’s advocates for healthy and diverse

communities project.

United way cash

The 2012 investments are diverse and cover

the region from north to south, Ms Chu said.

In addition to funds, United Way supports

recipients by leveraging resources, contacts

and expertise.

The cash infusion is timely, Ms Stonehock-

er said.

In 2011, York Region food banks served

52,000 clients, 40 per cent of whom were

York food charter work in progress for networkThe need and numbers continue to climb

in a fragile economy hobbled further by the recent provincial budget, she said.

“In the last budget, social assistance was frozen,” Ms Stonehocker said. “Really, it’s a cut, because food prices continually go up. This impacts people who are in deep pov-erty.”

The network’s food charter is a work in progress, she said.

The first draft was written March 1.A group including United Way knowledge

mobilization officer Jane Wedlock convened Tuesday to advance and enhance the lan-guage of the document. As it becomes a pol-ished work, the network plans on additional

public forums for input and recommenda-tions.

Ms Stonehocker will seek endorsement by all of the region’s nine municipalities before it is formally published in 2014.

It’s a solid process, Ms Chu said.“We want buy-in from the region and

municipalities,” she said. “This also creates awareness about the issues and spinoffs such as food security, health, food packaging and waste.”

The food network’s staff will soon grow from four to six. Its new offices, in the same building as the Aurora Food Pantry, provide more room, all next to a flourishing commu-nity garden where 55, 200-square-foot plots

“Where you willalways feel welcome”

By Joe [email protected]

Clients who had more than $2.3 million stolen from their credit lines at a Thorn-hill bank branch could have done little to safeguard themselves, York Regional Police said.

Between September 2011 and April 2012, money was withdrawn from the lines of cred-it of eight customers by an employee at the TD Bank branch at 100 Steeles Ave. W., police said.

The employee, working as a small busi-ness advisor, identified wealthy clients with large lines of credit and, using bank authori-zations, manipulated the accounts by chang-ing information, investigators believe.

A client inquiry led to an investigation, police said.

But, despite the large amount of money believed to be involved in the fraud, the eight bank clients targeted did not suffer personal losses, Det. Fred Kerr said.

“The bank has taken the loss,” he said.This type of fraud takes place occasion-

ally in York due to the large number of bank branches and the number of residents with

money, he added.This week, police arrested a 27-year-old

man at a Barrie home. He is charged with fraud exceeding $5,000 and theft exceeding $5,000.

The employee, working as a small

business advisor, identified wealthy

clients with large lines of credit

and, using bank authorizations,

manipulated the accounts by

changing information, investigators

believe.

The man has been released on bail and is to appear at the Newmarket courthouse again May 25.

Marion Wells has a special connection to the Stouffville Country Market. The Lemonville resident’s father, Walter Atkinson, founded it 60 years ago – on Park Drive. The anniversary will be celebrated at the market’s Tenth Line location May 5. See story on pages 1 and 25.

Symes and assisted by hired hands Har-old Wright and John Keeler, wagonloads of structural framework were hauled to the new Stouffville site located on a farm previ-ously owned by Leonard Johnson.

“The township of Scarborough was in a development mode,” recalls Mr. Atkin-son’s daughter, Marion Wells of Lemonville. “The barns were falling down; not needed or wanted. It was a mammoth job.”

Mrs. Wells vividly recalls activities at the original sales site on Park Drive.

“Back then, Stouffville was a sleepy lit-tle village. The Saturday morning auctions were a form of entertainment, There wasn’t a whole lot else to do. People came from miles around.”

Livestock included calves, piglets, an occasional horse and a few cows, Mrs. Wells remembers. “It wasn’t a very large place, there wasn’t much room.”

She had little involvement with the sales part of the operation. Her time was spent keeping the snack bar supplied with food, with assistance from her mother.

The centre of attention was her auction-eer father.

“My dad was a relatively quiet man,” Mrs. Wells says, “but once he began his lingo, his personality changed. He joked around a lot and made people laugh.”

His sales clerk, both at the old site and the new, was Ralph Faulkner of Goodwood. He was later joined by Celeste Smalley of Vivian.

At the Tenth Line location, with increased space inside and out, crowds kept growing. A restaurant was added. The manager was Bella Coleman. She lived in an apartment above.

Under the name Stouffville Stockyards, Mr. Atkinson continued to wave his magic auction wand over Saturday sales that included cows, pigs, sheep and goats.

After 10 years, Mr. Atkinson sold the entire operation to partners Norm Faulkner and Frank Bennett, both licensed auctioneers. Norm Clements purchased a half-share in the business in 1981 and later continued as the sole owner until 2004.

Mr. Clements remembers approaching Mr. Faulkner concerning the possibility of opening a sports store in the complex but the owner wasn’t interested.

“That’s not what I need,” he recalls Mr. Faulkner saying, “but I’d be interested in a horse.”

Mr. Clements agreed, granting his soon-to-be partner a share in a harness racing speedster called Cam Fella. The legendary “Pacing Machine” became one of the fin-est entries ever to grace a North American track.

“Norm (Faulkner) was a great guy, always a gentleman,” says Mr. Clements. “We got along really well.”

It was Mr. Faulkner’s idea to expand the flea market portion of the operation. He appropriately called it “The Big Flea” with more than 600 vendors at its height.

Under the Clements-Faulkner owner-ship, all roads led to Stouffville with up to 10,000 people attending the market every

weekend.“We had to hire police officers to con-

trol the traffic,” recalls Mr. Clements, “things were booming. It was the most successful venture of its kind in Ontario.”

Vendors, wishing to display their wares, came from as far as Niagara, Kitchener and Hamilton, Mr. Clements said. Some have remained more than 25 years. Likewise, patrons also travelled great distances, said Mr. Clements, many from south of the bor-der.

Inclement weather forced vendors

inside. People’s buying habits

changed with other stores and

malls offering comparable goods

at similar bargain prices. Ongoing

rumours of the market’s eventual

closing also hurt.

“You couldn’t know Stouffville and not know the market,” he said.

However, as with every successful endea-vour, problems occurred. The original building was showing its age, Mr. Clements said. The health and fire departments had expressed concerns, to the point of threat-ening to shut the operation down. So the primary structure was demolished and replaced by a new barn.

But there were other problems, too. Inclement weather forced vendors inside. People’s buying habits changed with other stores and malls offering comparable goods at similar bargain prices. Ongoing rumours of the market’s eventual closing also hurt.

So, eight years ago, the property was sold. Six years ago, Mr. Clements also disposed of his chain of 21 National Sports stores.

He continues to own the market opera-tion and has “at least two years” on its lease with the land owner.

The goodwill for which Norm Clements is known throughout this community also car-ries on including the Jennifer Ashleigh Chil-dren’s Charity that, over the past 22 years has raised over $14 million; the Christmas Day dinners, initiated at the market 16 years ago and now continuing next door at EastRidge Evangelical Missionary Church; weekly trips to Evergreen Hospice, Toronto with van loads of produce organized by Tony’s Fruit and Vegetables and Sunday market worship services, begun by Mr. Clements, assisted by former EastRidge pastor Lou Geense and now pastor Tim Soukup, has made this busi-ness, in the words of Mayor Wayne Emmer-son “a definite benefit to our town”.

“I’m looking forward to the May 5 celebra-tion,” Mr. Emmerson said. “I hope residents will attend and share their stories about this great icon we still have within our commu-nity, a symbol, I hope, that will remain alive for many years to come.”

And to think this diamond jubilee fixture had its beginning in the cramped quarters of a small curling rink on Park Drive North in Stouffville.

After 52 installments, Music Mania will be no more — at least in its current format for the spring productions.

The Christmas shows, which started three years ago, will continue as they are, according to Heather Andrews, who is in charge of pub-licity for Music Mania.

“The day of the variety (show) is sort of passed,” Mrs. Andrews said.

“(But) it’s not the last show,” she said of the spring production Stouffville’s Got Talent!

“We’re looking for ideas. So if anybody has ideas, they can certainly get in touch with anybody within Music Mania,” she said.

This year’s production is a send-up of TV talent shows and runs from April 26 to 28 at Christ Church Anglican. However, in this show, no one is voted out.

Music Mania was started in 1959 by a group of people from the Stouffville United Church Couples Club who were itching for a creative outlet. They decided to stage a min-strel show in which white actors, dancers and singers wore stylized blackface makeup and performed stereotyped imitations of African Americans, which were common at the time.

Segments of humour and dance separated the solo and group musical numbers.

After a couple of years, that type of the-atre was no longer socially acceptable, so the group re-invented itself.

It’s the second longest running show of its kind in Ontario, according to Mrs. Andrews.

During the past few years, the group has found it difficult to find directors, produc-

ers and cast members, according to Mrs. Andrews.

“I don’t think we really have stayed current the last few years,” said Lisa Harvey, this year’s director.

Ms Harvey has been involved with the troupe on and off for the past 12 years, the previous four as its music director. Her moth-er, Doris, has been involved with Music Mania for about 30 years, the younger Harvey said.

“It’s kind of sad,” Mrs. Andrews said, who has also been a Music Mania member for about 30 years.

“Our best friendships, since we’ve come to town, have been formed with Music Mania people. It’s like a family,” she said.

Although this is possibly the last spring show, the cast and crew are not slagging off with this production.

“The talent in the chorus is fantastic,” Mrs. Andrews said.

Along with the roughly 30 chorus mem-bers, there will be four guest performers, a singing act, a hula-hooper and two Irish dance acts, according to Ms Harvey.

Proceeds from the shows will go to the Whitchurch-Stouffville Food Bank.

“As a community-minded organization, which Music Mania is, the best place we could put the funds and draw attention to (is) the food bank,” Mrs. Andrews said.

People are also encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to the shows.

“The money is great for the food bank because it allows them to purchase the fresh items,” Mrs. Andrews said.

The shows are at 7:30 p.m. April 26 to 28

in Christ Church Anglican’s great hall, 254 Sunset Blvd.

Tickets are available at Card’s TV & Appli-ances, Fame International Salon & Spa, The Hearty Artichoke, M&M Meat Shops, Reid’s Antiques & Consignments and Stouffville PharmaSave.

A special rate of $10 for seniors over 65 will be available on Thursday only. Friday and Saturday night ticket prices are $15 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under.

BY MICHAEL [email protected]

When Cathy Zhang attended tryouts for the Stouffville District Secondary School Spartans junior badminton team this year, the coaching staff had no idea of what she could do with a racquet in hand.

But through first and second round tour-nament play, they now have a good idea of what she brings to the table.

The 14-year-old Grade 9 student brings a lot.

She’s yet to lose a match and was the top seed in girls’ singles play at the York Region Athletic Association Zones E and F play-downs held on the Unionville High School hardwood court Monday.

“We had no idea of how good a player she was,” said Spartans’ assistant coach Sara Bubnick. “She was a total surprise, a great surprise and great addition to our team.

“She’s really a strong player. She controls the court when she’s out there. She’s won all of her matches.”

Bubnick noted the team had a hint of what was to come during practices when there was no one on the senior or junior teams who could play on the same level as

she did.Zhang’s presence on the Stouffville cam-

pus was generated through her participation as an international exchange student.

Hailing from Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, Zhang’s skills on the court can be traced back to her native country and as far as her elementary school days.

‘We had no idea of how good a player she was. She was a total

surprise, a great surprise and great

addition to our team.’

In China, the game has a greater following than it does in Canada.

Residing in Markham with relatives, Zhang, who is still learning to communicate more effectively in English, commutes to school each day and is expected to remain a part of the student body through her entire high school years, Bubnick said.

Zhang will advance to the YRAA junior championships at Bill Crothers Secondary School in Unionville May 1.

Also earning a high placement at the Zone E and F playdowns was the boys’ doubles tandem of Kyle Laird and Anash Chowdhry, who finished second in the tier two division.

Spartan senior, junior boys’ teams tackled at Saltfleet rugby tourney

The Spartans senior boys’ rugby team did not win the title at the Saltfleet Invitational in Hamilton Friday.

In fact, the defending York Region Athletic Association champions and Ontario Fed-eration of School Athletic Associations silver medallists won just one of three games.

But in the assessment of veteran Spartans’ head coach Jamie Hewitt, his charges gave a sound performance on the McMaster Uni-versity pitch.

The Spartans opened the tournament with a 5-0 win over Beamsville.

Zach Bauman scored the game’s lone try.Facing defending OFSAA gold medallist

Uxbridge in their second match, the Spar-tans got a try from Matt Espey with no time remaining to tie the game at 12-12.

With no overtime conducted during

the tournament, the outcome was decid-ed on kicks. Through three kicks, the score remained tied. But Uxbridge eventually won the game after five kicks.

Chris Matsoukas scored the other try for the Spartans. Matt Renzoni booted a convert.

Relegated to the bronze medal game in their division, a physically exhausted Spar-tans club lost to host Saltfleet l 24-0.

“I thought we played pretty well, I was shocked,” Hewitt said of his club’s perfor-mance in a tournament that featured some the of top teams in the province.

Hewitt was quick to note that Uxbridge will probably be one of the favourites to be in the hunt for this year’s OFSAA title as they had close to nine starters back from last year’s OFSAA gold-medal winning team. The Spar-tans, meanwhile, field no returning starters.

In the junior tournament, which was held Thursday, the Spartans recorded two wins and two ties to finish second in their pool.

The Spartans earned ties against host Salt-fleet Secondary School 0-0 and eventual first-place finishers St. John’s College (Brantford) 5-5. The Spartans then defeated Waterloo Collegiate 20-0 and North Park (Brantford) 25-5.

Thunder Bay North Star Tyler Osborne comes close on Jon Hall of the Spirit during the Spirit’s 2-1 overtime victory Tuesday night at the Dudley Hewitt Cup.

Stouffville Spirit defenceman Paul Geiger keeps watch on Wisconsin captain Andrew Ander-son at the Central Canadian finals in Thunder Bay yesterday. The Spirit lost 5-2.

Patrick Hurley lit the red light as Wisconsin took a 3-1 lead into the dressing room.

Carrying that momentum into the third period, the Wilderness padded their advan-tage just seven minutes in to 4-1 on a goal by Andrew Anderson.

The Spirit cut their deficit when Porter notched his second goal of the game on a power-play effort just past the midway point.

But just over one minute later, the Wil-derness restored their three-goal cushion and rounded out the scoring when Dietrich delivered his second goal of the game.

The Wilderness directed 24 shots on the Spirit net.

Despite the loss, Donovan felt his club put forth a far better effort than in Tuesday’s gruelling 2-1 overtime win over the host Thunder Bay North Stars.

“We did play better, I thought, we had more energy and I thought our forecheck was excellent and we won some battles, but their goalie made some big saves,” he said.

The five-on-threes, coach?“I was a little disappointed with some of

the calls,” he said. “I thought maybe we had two penalties that we took that we have to be better on.”

At the same time though, Donovan gave credit to the Wilderness and was quick to note their experience in participating at last year’s Dudley-Hewitt Cup in Huntsville, might have benefitted them.

“They’re a team made up mostly of 19 and 20 year olds, they’re strong on the puck and they have a lot of experience. Most of that team were returnees from last year’s Dudley-Hewitt championship,” he said. “And they

only had nine losses all year so they must have been doing something right.”

The Spirit will conclude round-robin play against the Soo Thunderbirds at the Fort William Gardens today at 2 p.m.

In looking ahead to that contest, Dono-van said their objective is plain and simple – just go out and win.

But he said that won’t be an easy task as the Thunderbirds are also a fairly experi-enced team that also played at the Dudley-Hewitt championships last year.

“They’re an older team with some big-ger guys. We just have to play better. What I thought we proved today is that we can play with these guys,” he said.

“Depending on what happens later (in Wednesday’s other round-robin game between the Thunder Bay North Stars and Soo Thunderbirds) we could finish any-where from first to fourth. We have to win Thursday.”

Botten insisted the club remains confi-dent entering their game against the Thun-derbirds.

“There’s not much else we can do but win. We just have to put the puck in the net,” he said. “We have confidence.”

On a separate note, the Spirit incurred one injury when forward Dylan Savory hurt his foot and was taken to the hospital for x-rays.

Forward Christian Finch travelled with the team to Thunder Bay but remains out indefinitely after incurring a concussion.

Defenceman Marko Brelih, also out with a concussion, did not make the trip.

Stouffville 2, Thunder Bay 1, O.T.

The Stouffville Spirit were forced to log some overtime when they faced the host

Thunder Bay North Stars in its debut at the Dudley-Hewitt Cup Central Canadian Junior A Hockey Championship at the Fort William Gardens in Thunder Bay Tuesday.

But the extra time was brief and quite memorable as Stouffville native Chris Porter scored at the 2:41 mark of the first sudden-death overtime period to propel the Spirit to a hard-fought 2-1 victory.

‘Depending on what happens

later (in Wednesday’s other

round-robin game between the

Thunder Bay North Stars and Soo

Thunderbirds) we could finish

anywhere from first to fourth. We

have to win Thursday.’

Porter’s long rising shot from the left side went high into the top right hand corner

Earning an assist on the game-winning goal was Spirit netminder Jon Hall, who helped preserve the win after stopping 20 of 21 shots during the contest.

The Spirit opened the scoring on a power-play goal by Christian Powers just prior to the midway point of the opening period.

But just under three minutes later, the North Stars tied the game on a goal by Sam Dubinsky.

With the contest remaining tied at 1-1 through the second and third periods, the Spirit directed the only two shots on net in the first extra session with Porter’s ending the contest.

While elated with the win, Spirit head coach Craig Donovan acknowledged his club did not play at its best.

“We didn’t play our style of game, we didn’t move the puck as crisply as we nor-mally do and didn’t get a chance to estab-lish our forecheck,” he said. “We didn’t bring our ‘A’ game.”

Donovan speculated it could have been due to several factors.

Part of which involved taking a plane ride for the first time this season along with the magnitude of the championships, which will see the winner advance to the prestigious RBC Cup.

Not to mention playing what constitut-ed as a road game against the North Stars in their home arena and playing in front of primarily their home supporters.

Also speculating they might have been a little nervous in playing their first game at the Dudley-Hewitt Cup, Spirit defence-man Paul Geiger felt the outing served as a wake-up call for the Spirit.

“We came out flat and we didn’t have any legs. But we won and that was a posi-tive,” he said. “We found a way to win and that’s what good teams do. It’s big for us.

“A win is a win no matter how you do it.”

Donovan felt part of the key to their win was in preventing Thunder Bay from get-ting many good scoring opportunities.

“We kept their shots down and more than half of their shots came on power plays,” he cited. “We limited their scoring chances and when you can do that you should win games and we found a way to win.”

The Spirit directed 33 shots on the North Stars’ net.

Attendance was announced at 1,379.

Spirit hopes to find scoring touch against Soo

Vanessa Spataro was one of three play-ers who recently signed a letter of intent to continue her education and play hockey at St. Cloud State University, the Minnesota school announced Tuesday.

A Whitchurch-Stouffville resident and Stouffville District Secondary School stu-dent, Spataro also played rep hockey with the Toronto Junior Aeros.

A five-foot, five-inch forward, Spata-ro was a member of an Aeros team that was the 2012 Provincial Women’s Hockey League regular season champions and league finalists.

“Vanessa is a very tough, gritty and quick forward,” said Jeff Giesen, St. Cloud head coach, in a media release. “She real-ly competes and is strong in tight areas where she is able to get the puck and make plays to her teammates as well as score goals herself. She is a smooth skater with good speed. She is a very mature person and will have an easy time adjusting to the college game.”

A National Collegiate Athletic Associa-tion Division One affiliate, St. Cloud State competes as a member of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.

Founded in 1869, the school has an enrollment of 17,000 students.

WSMHA electing board members

The Whitchurch-Stouffville Minor Hockey Association will conduct its annual general meeting April 26 at Nineteen On-The Park beginning at 6:30 p.m.

All volunteers and parents of players from the 2011-12 season are welcome.

Nominations for the association’s board

of directors must be received by April 23. Forms are available at the hockey office

or by calling 905-642-2835.

Most hockey fees unchanged

If you have a youngster that will be registered in the Whitchurch-Stouffville Minor Hockey Association’s Initiation Pro-gram (IP) or at the novice level for the 2012-13 campaign, be prepared to spend a few more dollars.

Fees for those in the IP and novice will increase to $550 from $525.

For the other age groups though, fees will remain $550 per player.

In making that decision to raise reg-istration fees for players in the younger division, association president Don Easter said they wanted to create a consistent fee structure across the board.

“There may have been some logic to this practice in the past,” he said in a media release. “At one time, the first- and second-year players may have played fewer games or had less practice time than their older counterparts.

“That is no longer the case and we felt it was appropriate to bring these fees into line with what all other players in our pro-gram were being charged.”

Easter said their association decided not to increase registration fees for the older groups despite the continued increase in costs for ice rentals – which represents 67 cents of every dollar the association spends.
