‘Spirited’ Burrows Stouffville’s best sport

Recipients to be honoured at Strawberry Festival next week

Carol Morin citizen of year

BY MICHAEL HAYAKAWA

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

When Kenny Burrows played hockey as a youngster he did not envision himself carving a path to the NHL. What mattered most to the Stouffville resident when he played was to win.

Same goes for his time with the Stouffville Spirit Jr. A team, of which he now a part owner and general manager.

This past season, the 45-yearold Burrows did just that in constructing a Spirit roster that skated off with the franchise’s first-ever Ontario Junior Hockey League title and Buckland Cup trophy.

Burrows’ masterpiece caught the attention of those who voted for this year’s Stouffville Sun-Tribune’s Sports Person of the Year award.

Burrows will be presented with this year’s award June 29 at Memorial Park during the opening of the Strawberry Festival at 6:30 p.m.

Acknowledging he was shocked when informed of the good tidings, a humble Burrows was quick to point out there were

Carol Morin will be honoured as the town’s citizen of the year next week. The Stouffville resident is a busy volunteer at the town’s seniors’ and lawn bowling clubs and St. Mark Church.

f you want something to happen, you have to make it happen.

And that is exactly what Carol Morin did five years ago when she joined the Silver Jubilee Club and found they only played cards.

She wanted to spend her retirement years doing more than playing euchre and bridge.

So Ms Morin, 69, took it upon herself to bring mahjong, water colour painting, yoga and photography, to name a few, to the Silver Jubilee.

“Some of these things, I don’t care if I do them. I just want others to do them,” she said.

It is no surprise that once Ms Morin took over the Silver Jubilee’s programming, membership has virtually doubled over the years.

That is partially why the Stouffville resident has been chosen as this year’s Stouffville SunTribune Citizen of the Year.

“One person can change lives. I wish there were more people in Whitchurch-Stouffville like her,” wrote Marilyn Ferguson, in her nomination of Ms Morin.

“She also exemplifies the spirit of loyalty and See SELFLESS, page 22.

If you like warm weather, you’re going to enjoy our summer, but keep an eye on the sky, senior Environment Canada climatologist David Phillips said.

Evangelos Jewllery

Our spring, March through May, was warmer than normal, with 54-per-cent less rain than average, he said. In the same time, we’ve had five smog alert days, compared to just one in 2011.

The higher heat and lower precipitation are a source of angst for growers and foreshadow the possibility of severe weather, including strong winds, hail, micro bursts and tornadoes, Mr. Phillips said.

“Whether it’s rip roaring or not, no one knows,” he said. “But, with warmer weather, typically there’s more lightning and heat generates thunderstorms. We also know York Region gets its share of severe weather.”

We’ve still got a while to go before the dog days and he forecasts July and August will be warmer than normal seasonal 24 C highs and 13 C overnight lows.

“It shouldn’t be like last summer’s excruciating heat,” he said.

“The dryness is an issue and forecasting rain is a bit of a crap shoot.”

The promise of consistent high heat and the potential for particularly oppressive nights in the 20 C-plus range present risks and challenges for everyone, including people with the means to control home environments.

adults, infants and young children, people who work or exercise in the heat and people with chronic illnesses, including breathing difficulties, heart conditions or psychiatric illnesses.

Extra attention should be devoted to neighbours, friends and older family members, especially those who are chronically ill, to make sure they are cool and hydrated.

Warning signs of heat-related illness can include dizziness, headache, nausea or vomiting, weakness and confusion. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

If you’re fortunate enough to have air conditioning, comfort comes with a cost.

Sixty-nine per cent of Ontarians are concerned with the cost of maintaining a steady temperature in their home during the summer

cooler than 2011 The last few days have seen our region baking in temperatures topping 35 C, Mr. Phillips said. Humidity makes it feel like we’re in the 40 C zone.

As such, York Region issued a heat advisory and opened cooling stations. Extreme temperatures can cause heat-related illnesses and everyone is at risk.

Installing a programmable thermostat and setting it based on your living patterns to control your energy usage and sealing leaks around windows and doors with weather stripping and caulking are two easy tasks that can impact your energy bills positively, Mr. Walton said.

WHITCHURCH-STOUFFVILLE 111 Sandiford Drive, Stouffville, Ontario L4A 0Z8 COUNCIL APPROVES THE RELEASE OF THE TOWN’S 2011 COMMUNITY REPORT

NOTICE OF COUNCIL MEETING Council Chamber • 111 Sandiford Drive

TUESDAY JULY 17, 2012 COUNCIL MEETING 1:00 p.m.

COUNCIL’S CORNER

by ANDREA D’SOUZA Council Highlights provide a brief summary of pertinent decisions made at a Council meeting. More information on these stories and other Council activities can be obtained from the Town’s website.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE JUNE 19, 2012 COUNCIL MEETING COUNCIL APPROVES THE DRAFT 2011 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE TOWN

Municipalities are required to prepare annual financial statements and to have them audited. The Town’s external auditor is the firm Grant Thornton LLP. The Treasurer is required to report financial statements of the municipality to Council. These statements are prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP) and Canadian public sector accounting standards (PSAB) for the design and implementation of internal controls to prevent and detect fraud and error.

Highlights of the 2011 Audited Financial Statements indicate the Town’s Accumulated Surplus of approximately $205.5M. The Accumulated Surplus is not only from the operating budget, but is also representative of the Reserve and Reserve Funds, plus amounts invested in Tangible Capital Assets (TCAs) net of debt incurred to finance TCAs.

This year’s Annual Report is being presented as a Community Report to highlight the Town’s achievements in 2011 from a community perspective. The contents of the report are similar to that included in previous annual reports but is presented in a way that is simple, clear, and relevant to residents and businesses. The theme selected for the Report is “Country Close to the City” to emphasize the Town’s character, natural settings and proximity to many amenities and urban areas.

The Report will be made available on the Town’s website.

Printed copies will also be available at the Municipal Offices, Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library, Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum & Community Centre and other Town owned facilities in July 2012.

COUNCIL RECEIVES THE FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES STATISTICS FOR 2011

The purpose of this report is in response to Council’s request for information on the operations of Fire and Emergency Services for 2011. This report is supplementary to the Town’s Community Report for 2011.

The operational activities reported in the 2011 statistics indicate an overall increase in call responses with the most significant being medical incidents. The records also indicate that responses to fire type incidents remained on par with the previous two years. The Fire Prevention and Public Education Division increased the number of inspections and public education events in 2011.

COUNCIL AUTHORIZES PRE-BUDGET APPROVAL FOR THE TOWN’S PROPOSED 2013 CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Council authorized pre-budget approval for a commitment to construct and fund works identified in the current 10-year

www.townofws.ca forecast related to the Region’s Ninth Line reconstruction project.

York Region proposes to complete the construction along with a portion of the related Town works in 2013. The Town proposes to concurrently issue a separate tender for adjacent works outside of the Region’s project limits.

The widening and reconstruction of Ninth Line including the jog elimination at Main Street is being proposed by York Region to improve transportation efficiencies and to accommodate increased traffic flow generated by development in the Town.

Town-related work is planned within and adjacent to the Region’s limits of construction for the Ninth Line. The estimated total value of the Town’s work is $2,257,200.

COUNCIL RECEIVES THE FARMERS’ MARKET 2012 INTERIM REPORT Highlights from the Interim Report are as follows: • Attendance at the Market is estimated at 350 patrons/wk to date during the first 4 weeks of operation (the Market opened in May 2012).

• Number of confirmed full-season vendors is 13 with 11 other vendors either attending bi-monthly or starting later in the season.

• A total of 28 vendor stalls are typically occupied on a weekly basis (some vendors have purchased the equivalent of two stalls to accommodate their products/produce).

• New initiatives to the Market this year include fun and exciting themes on a monthly basis, Customer Appreciation Days where the first 50 Shoppers receive a $5 Gift Certificate to shop in Downtown Stouffville, and a Chef Cook-off in partnership with the Toronto Region Conservation Authority’s Rouge Days event.

Editorial

Stop legislating common sense Premier Dad might be called upon, once again, to legislate us to be safe.

Dalton McGuinty and the Liberals have already passed laws to ensure adults don’t smoke on patios or in vehicles with children, and that everyone younger than 18 wears a helmet while riding a bicycle.

Now, adult cyclists may be the next target in his cross-hairs.

A review of all accidental cycling deaths in the province between 2006 and 2010, recommended, among other things, that bike helmets be required for cyclists of all ages.

The belief is a law that covers everyone would address the fact only 27 per cent of cyclists who died from collisions were wearing helmets.

Putting helmets on everyone will save lives, according to the report, which was led by deputy chief coroner Dr. Dan Cass.

It’s hard to argue against that, but not everyone agrees it’s the right thing to do.

In fact, Dr. Cass’ panel members could not agree on whether or not legislation was the best way to promote cycling safety and many of the people who would appear to gain the most from the possible legislation are against it.

Cycling groups across the province argue education, not legislation, is the answer.

Mandatory helmet use will not reduce the number of cycling injures and, instead, will only reinforce the incorrect belief that wearing a helmet is the only way to avoid injury.

And who’s going to enforce this kind of legislation? Our police officers have more important duties than issuing tickets to helmet-less cyclists.

The mandatory helmet recommendation is the lone part of the coroner’s report that is receiving negative reaction.

In addition to the mandatory helmet suggestion, Dr. Cass also recommends an approach at the municipal level that would emphasize the creation of bike paths and bike lanes separated from roads.

Instead of a law that’s just another example of the premier trying to protect us from ourselves, it makes more sense to look at the coroner’s suggestions for reducing cycling accidents.

For example, we need more dedicated bike lanes, not just lines painted on existing roads, to make room for our cyclists and keep everyone safe.

Unfortunately, this government’s forté seems simply to be coming up with an easy fix.

Letters to the Editor Stouffville Lions still serving community 75 years later Re: ‘Joining service club way down the list’, Ballantrae Lions join inactive group, May 26.

The Stouffville Lions Club is alive and well, serving our community with pride.

Who are Lions?

Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world. The 1.35 million members (men and woman) of our volunteer organization in 207 countries and geographic areas are different in many ways, but share a core belief – community is what we make it.

Our famous beef barbecue will be held this year June 28 from 4:30 to 7 p.m.

Almost 600 pounds of beef roasted in an open pit over a wood fire. The best you have ever eaten, or so they say. Look for our trailer with the names of our sponsors.

September starts off with our food booth at Markham Fair, in the livestock building. Drop by for peameal bacon on a bun and deep-fried apples.

In December, we sell Christmas trees at the Canadian Tire Store, space generously donated by the store.

Our Christmas toy drive, thanks to the generosity of Stouffville residents and businesses, turns Latcham Hall in Memorial Park into toy central. Lions and volunteers pack boxes for families who need a helping hand at this joyous and stressful time of the year.

We bus seniors on a tour to view the dazzling lights decorating the homes in town.

Don’t forget the Mayor’s New Year’s Eve celebrations. Hot chocolate, anyone?

One of our most rewarding projects is the vision screening program for senior kindergarten students at all elementary schools.

Through the community support at

Have your say, STOUFFVILLE 4What do you think of these issues or others? E-mail letters to the editor to jmason@yrmg.com our fundraisers, we are able to support many groups, including: • All the schools, graduation awards, arts award, principals’ projects.

• Music award, Latcham Gallery, library March break, youth sports.

• Lions Camp Kirk Foundation camp for autistic children.

• Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides.

• 500 trees planted this year at the reservoir.

• Traffic marshals for the Terry Fox Run. (We also ride the Big Bike for Heart and Stroke.)

How do we do all this? We are dedicated Lions, partners and friends of Lions who give their time to help their community.

We enjoy what we do, we have fun, we have made great friendships.

For membership information, call Lion Joe Cote, 905-640-2294.

Next year is our 75th charter anniversary year.

Yours in Lionism.

Paul Calandra promised a spectacle. The MP for Oak Ridges-Markham delivered.

Main Street in downtown Stouffville was lined with spectators, many of them clad in red and white, to witness the Governor General’s Horse Guards receive the Freedom of the Town from Mayor Wayne Emmerson Saturday.

A number of past and present military vehicles, including a tank, made their way along Main Street, along with about 100 soldiers and calvary on horse en route to the ceremony in Civic Square.

Spectators stood three deep near the clock tower, Canadian flag bunting flying over their heads. Several unleashed supplied cannons of confetti at the conclusion of the ceremonies.

It felt more British or American than Canadian.

Front and centre was Stouffville resident Dr. John Button, who is a direct descendant of Major John Button, who founded Button’s Troop 1810, which is a part of the York Militia.

Mr. Button founded the calvary in response to anti-loyalist speeches made by some of the locals.

There were 19 members of the Button family in attendance, the youngest being ninth generation.

Dr. Button, a former Sun-Tribune citizen of the year, was presented with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contributions to the community.

Dr. Button, now in his 90s, was the primary physician in Stouffville for many years.

“We didn’t know what to expect,” said Stouffville Main Street lawyer Eric Button, a seventh-generation member of the family. “But it was very well done. People take pride in our voluntary army. They support it and that’s nice.”

On a unique day in WhitchurchStouffville.

Editorial

Stop legislating common sense Premier Dad might be called upon, once again, to legislate us to be safe.

Dalton McGuinty and the Liberals have already passed laws to ensure adults don’t smoke on patios or in vehicles with children, and that everyone younger than 18 wears a helmet while riding a bicycle.

Now, adult cyclists may be the next target in his cross-hairs.

A review of all accidental cycling deaths in the province between 2006 and 2010, recommended, among other things, that bike helmets be required for cyclists of all ages.

The belief is a law that covers everyone would address the fact only 27 per cent of cyclists who died from collisions were wearing helmets.

Putting helmets on everyone will save lives, according to the report, which was led by deputy chief coroner Dr. Dan Cass.

It’s hard to argue against that, but not everyone agrees it’s the right thing to do.

In fact, Dr. Cass’ panel members could not agree on whether or not legislation was the best way to promote cycling safety and many of the people who would appear to gain the most from the possible legislation are against it.

Cycling groups across the province argue education, not legislation, is the answer.

Mandatory helmet use will not reduce the number of cycling injuries and, instead, will only reinforce the incorrect belief that wearing a helmet is the only way to avoid injury.

And who’s going to enforce this kind of legislation? Our police officers have more important duties than issuing tickets to helmet-less cyclists.

The mandatory helmet recommendation is the lone part of the coroner’s report that is receiving negative reaction.

In addition to the mandatory helmet suggestion, Dr. Cass also recommends an approach at the municipal level that would emphasize the creation of bike paths and bike lanes separated from roads.

Instead of a law that’s just another example of the premier trying to protect us from ourselves, it makes more sense to look at the coroner’s suggestions for reducing cycling accidents.

For example, we need more dedicated bike lanes, not just lines painted on existing roads, to make room for our cyclists and keep everyone safe.

Unfortunately, this government’s forté seems simply to be coming up with an easy fix.

Letters to the Editor Stouffville Lions still serving community 75 years later Re: ‘Joining service club way down the list’, Ballantrae Lions join inactive group, May 26.

The Stouffville Lions Club is alive and well, serving our community with pride.

Who are Lions?

Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world. The 1.35 million members (men and woman) of our volunteer organization in 207 countries and geographic areas are different in many ways, but share a core belief – community is what we make it.

Our famous beef barbecue will be held this year June 28 from 4:30 to 7 p.m.

Almost 600 pounds of beef roasted in an open pit over a wood fire. The best you have ever eaten, or so they say. Look for our trailer with the names of our sponsors.

September starts off with our food booth at Markham Fair, in the livestock building. Drop by for peameal bacon on a bun and deep-fried apples.

In December, we sell Christmas trees at the Canadian Tire Store, space generously donated by the store.

Our Christmas toy drive, thanks to the generosity of Stouffville residents and businesses, turns Latcham Hall in Memorial Park into toy central. Lions and volunteers pack boxes for families who need a helping hand at this joyous and stressful time of the year.

We bus seniors on a tour to view the dazzling lights decorating the homes in town.

Don’t forget the Mayor’s New Year’s Eve celebrations. Hot chocolate, anyone?

One of our most rewarding projects is the vision screening program for senior kindergarten students at all elementary schools.

Through the community support at

Have your say, STOUFFVILLE 4What do you think of these issues or others? E-mail letters to the editor to jmason@yrmg.com our fundraisers, we are able to support many groups, including: • All the schools, graduation awards, arts award, principals’ projects.

• Music award, Latcham Gallery, library March break, youth sports.

• Lions Camp Kirk Foundation camp for autistic children.

• Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides.

• 500 trees planted this year at the reservoir.

• Traffic marshals for the Terry Fox Run. (We also ride the Big Bike for Heart and Stroke.)

How do we do all this? We are dedicated Lions, partners and friends of Lions who give their time to help their community.

We enjoy what we do, we have fun, we have made great friendships.

For membership information, call Lion Joe Cote, 905-640-2294.

Next year is our 75th charter anniversary year.

Yours in Lionism.

Paul Calandra promised a spectacle. The MP for Oak Ridges-Markham delivered.

Main Street in downtown Stouffville was lined with spectators, many of them clad in red and white, to witness the Governor General’s Horse Guards receive the Freedom of the Town from Mayor Wayne Emmerson Saturday.

A number of past and present military vehicles, including a tank, made their way along Main Street, along with about 100 soldiers and calvary on horse en route to the ceremony in Civic Square.

Spectators stood three deep near the clock tower, Canadian flag bunting flying over their heads. Several unleashed supplied cannons of confetti at the conclusion of the ceremonies.

It felt more British or American than Canadian.

Front and centre was Stouffville resident Dr. John Button, who is a direct descendant of Major John Button, who founded Button’s Troop 1810, which is a part of the York Militia.

Mr. Button founded the calvary in response to anti-loyalist speeches made by some of the locals.

There were 19 members of the Button family in attendance, the youngest being ninth generation.

Dr. Button, a former Sun-Tribune citizen of the year, was presented with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contributions to the community.

Dr. Button, now in his 90s, was the primary physician in Stouffville for many years.

“We didn’t know what to expect,” said Stouffville Main Street lawyer Eric Button, a seventh-generation member of the family. “But it was very well done. People take pride in our voluntary army. They support it and that’s nice.”

On a unique day in WhitchurchStouffville.

Jim Mason is editor of The SunTribune.

T

he Springvale Boys, a vocal quartet comprising Dave Noakes, Phil Pugh, Rod Russell and John Halse will be honoured when Stouffville United Church hosts the 22nd annual Music Festival Wednesday at 8 p.m.

The group, based out of Springvale Baptist Church, will receive the Music Town, Ontario award at a concert to include the Men of Note chorus and violin virtuoso Matthew Eeuwes.

The award presentation will be made by Celina Davies and Rob Forbes, husband and grandson of the late Bob Davies, last year’s recipient.

Admission is freewill. Donations will be received for the Whitchurch-Stouffville Food Bank.

From a humble beginning in 2005, The Springvale Boys now find themselves in constant demand with more than 30 shows a year including visits to with Jim Thomas area nursing homes, and churches.

It was following a single-song presentation at Springvale that members John and Bill Thornton, Bill McGilvray, Herb Hoover, John Halse and pianist Rod Russell discussed the possibility of establishing a permanent vocal group. A month later, they joined voices in the Christmas favourite Silent Night, resulting in spontaneous applause.

They’ve never looked back.

While changes in personnel have occurred over the last six-plus years, Mr. Halse honestly admits the recent death of member Herb Hoover has hit them hard.

“He was our heart and soul,” he says.

Following the funeral, at which the group participated, a solemn prayer service was held at John’s home.

It was there the decision was made to continue.

It’s what Herb would have wanted, they agreed.

Weekly rehearsals are held at the Hoover residence, following a request from Herb’s wife Alene.

“This meant a lot to us,” says John.

The Springvale repertoire totals 50 songs, all sacred “with a few novelty numbers tossed in.”

“We like a little bit of humour and I believe the audience does also,” John said.

A career highlight to date for ‘The Boys’ was the recent release of a CD entitled Focused on You. All songs except one were written by John. Richard Ash of London, Ont., composed the music. The work took two years to complete.

“We’re very happy with it,” says John, who describes it as “a humbling experience but very encouraging.”

John’s proud of the close relationship between members. The fact tenor Phil Pugh is enrolled in a four-year program at Heritage College in Cambridge, hasn’t eroded the group’s solidarity.

This cohesiveness is strengthened by the fact all decisions are made as a group, he notes.

The quartet’s willingness to serve the community knows no bounds. And while they appreciate invitations a month in advance, they’ve been known to respond on short notice if a particular afternoon or evening is open.

They’ve no set fee, only an honorarium. They always provide a full concert regardless of crowd size.

“Wherever we go, there are hurting people,” says John. “If we’re able to lift that burden, even briefly, then it’s all worthwhile.”

As for the Music Town, Ontario award at next week’s concert, John says “it means an awful lot.”

“It’s an honour – we appreciate it.”

Whitchurch-Stouffville appreciates them.

FINLAND... PRIME RIB TREATS! WE ARE OFF TO

LAKKAHILLO (CLOUDBERRY JAM)

This is what Finns like the most, Vodka included!

It's a unique specialty, and I find it a bit of a stretch price-wise — but we'll feature it this week at our cost, which is approximately $12.95 per jar. 410g

BAKING WHAT’S —THIS WEEK—

Thinking Finnish, we'll be making...

SUMMER SOLSTICE STARS (LUUMUTORTTU) These are puff pastry pinwheels brushed with brandy, with a dried plum filling. This is traditionally a Christmas pastry, but the Finns generally look for occasions to eat...$2.99 each.

CLOUDBERRY DANISH Our divine danish dough made with butter, filled with cream cheese filling and cloudberry preserve. Cloudberries are a delicacy in Finland; people go crazy for them! They look like an orange raspberry and grow only in Lapland (northern Finland) $2.99 each.

JELLY ROLLS (KÄÄRETORTTU) These are made everyday in our bakery and are crazy popular. I've told their story many times in the past, and we sell a Canadianized version with the mixed fruit. In Finland the filling is either apple preserve or strawberry jam. There will be different types available; firstly, our usual one with the mixed fruit, a version with local strawberries and whipped cream and a third called 'Unelmatorttu' which is chocolate sponge filled with a vanilla butter cream filling. Whichever you like, $12.95 each.

RHUBARB SQUARES (RAPARPERIPIIRAKKA) In Finland they don't make the traditional fruit pie as we know it, but more like a flat cake with fruit bakedin. These are in 8"x5" foils, with some added almond cream to spice things up. $7.99 each.

TOSCACAKES (TOSKAKAKKU) These are also made in 8" by 5" foils. It's a beautiful dense moist white cake topped with caramelized almonds halfway through the baking process, then baked further to 'crisp golden goodness'. $7.95 each.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE This is Jaana's moms specialty, and she has been making this ever since the beginning of time, but only for birthdays and special occasions. (Unfortunately we don't have those little wild strawberries here like they have back in Finland, but they are the ones to use traditionally). We use white cake and whipping cream of course, and we brush the cake with freshlysqueezed orange juice and apricot brandy, and fill it with sliced strawberries and sliced bananas. And, if you don't eat it all on day one, it's even better and more moist the next day. Serves 6-8 $14.95 each.

LIHAPULLT

And, I quote, "Our meatballs are 100% better than the Canadian ones. They are little, pan-fried in butter, and spiced only with onions, allspice (the most important thing), salt and pepper. They are served in brown gravy with either mashed potatoes or little boiled new potatoes, with some These are not Finnish, but this is the time of the year lingonberries on the side, or by themselves cold with tube mustard and shots of vodka from the that they are in season, so enjoy them.

Keith Acton spent almost 50 years playing or coaching hockey without a break.

Until last winter.

The Toronto Maple Leafs fired the Stouffville native and resident a year ago. He spent the season on the Leafs’ payroll watching his sons play in the GTA. The hiatus officially ended yesterday when Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Todd Richards added Acton, 54, as an assistant.

“It was the first time in 33 years I wasn’t part of a team,” he said from

Pittsburgh yesterday where NHL teams are preparing for the weekend draft. “You’re in there competing, trying to get better every day with the group — until last year.

Actually, it probably goes back to when I was five years old.

“It was a strange year that way.”

Acton is excited about joining Columbus and new associate coach Craig Hartsburg, who signed on this week, too.

“I want to help Todd Richards,” Acton said. “He did a real good job in the last 30 games last season.

It was starting to pay dividends.

There are some cornerstone players in place here already.

“And there are no dynasties out there in this league anymore.”

Acton served as an assistant/ associate coach with the Philadelphia Flyers from 1994-98 and an assistant with the New York Rangers from 1998-2000.

‘strange year’ “Keith is a quality person who brings a lot of experience, both as an assistant coach and player in the NHL, to our coaching staff,” Richards said. “My goal has been to surround myself with knowledgeable and experienced people who could add a lot to our staff and I think we have done that with the group of

coaches we have here.”

Junior Hockey League champion Acton was selected by the Mon- Stouffville Spirit. treal Canadiens in the sixth round, 103rd overall, at the 1978 NHL draft.

He played in 1,023 NHL games with Montreal, the Minnesota North Stars, Edmonton Oilers, Philadelphia Flyers, Washington Capitals and New York Islanders.

He represented Montreal in the 1982 all-star game and helped the Oilers win the 1988 Stanley Cup championship.

His oldest son, Will, plays for the Leafs’ top farm team, the Toronto Marlies in the American Hockey League. His other son, Robbie, is a member of the Ontario

The oldest known stone in the Dickson Hill Cemetery is for Jacob VanHoben who died in 1806.

The cemetery marks its 200th anniversary Sunday.

Cemetery marking 200th but some stones even older

BY RUTH BURKHOLDER

What could be York Region’s first community cemetery includes graves that pre-date the War of 1812.

You can check them out Sunday afternoon during the 200th anniversary service at Dickson Hill Cemetery.

A large crowd is expected to remember those who are buried in the cemetery. It’s on Dickson Hill Road, just east of Hwy. 48 and south of the Whitchurch-Stouffville border.

It was 200 years ago that a group of people donated 30 pounds to purchase two acres for “a burying ground, and the erecting of a house of worship to be used in common by regular societies of professing Christians and for no other purpose whatsoever unless it should be required for the use of a school”.

The group included Henry Wideman, Philip Wideman, Philip Peck, George Fockler, Christian Long, Philip Long, James Brown, Joseph Davis, Jacob Long, Leonard Castor, Barbary Kisinor Thomas, Henry Shank, Henry Kisiner, Joseph Hisey, Jacob Barkey, Abraham Grove, Nicholas Kerts, Philip Kisiner, Christian Wideman, John Long, Henry Bartholomew, Martin Hoover, John Miller, George Patterson, David Paterson and Andrew Patterson.

‘FIRST IN REGION’ This was probably the first “community” — as distinct from “church” — cemetery in York County. It was used by families living in both Markham and Whitchurch for many miles around.

Many former residents of Stouffville are also buried here.

The oldest graves in the cemetery are actually pre-1812. In the East Cairn you will find the stones of Jacob VanHoben who died June 6, 1806 age 85 years; Eve Wideman, Nov.

1809 age 14 years; Daniel Wideman, Feb. 1810 age 17 years; and Henry Wideman, the first Mennonite preacher in Canada, who was killed by a falling tree June 24, 1810.

Also in the East Cairn you will find a small cement plaque which reads: “Union Church Erected 1868”. This refers to the church built to serve the community on the grounds of the cemetery. It was replaced by the present structure in 1951 when the land south of the cemetery was purchased.

STOUFFVILLE RESDENTS It was used by the Mennonite community until being sold to the Apostolic Lutheran Church in 1978. The cemetery board is allowed to use the church building for its annual service.

The two Cairns were built by Bob Bruce in the 1980s as part of the ongoing maintenance of the cemetery under its board of directors, which came into being in 1927.

Dickson Hill is one of the few private cemeteries in the Town of Markham.

Events on Sunday afternoon include music by the Hilltop Singers, a remembrance devotional by Pastor Lois Bukar of Wideman Mennonite Church, the presentation by Markham’s Mayor Frank Scarpitti to the chairperson of the cemetery board, Hazel Peacock, of a plaque given to the cemetery by the Town of Markham.

There will also be a bicentennial tree planting by Markham Councillor Colin Campbell and board members Lloyd Bolender and Eric Timbers, a walking tour of the grounds and light refreshments.

The event begins at 2:30 p.m.

Stouffville historian Ruth Burkholder is a member of the Dickson Hill Cemetery bicentennial committee.

Need Help To Buy A Car?

After making a big splash at last year’s Strawberry Festival, the dunk tank is back to raise more money for local charities.

Town staffers, local business owners, sports coaches and student volunteers headline a list of volunteers taking the plunge this time around, said organizer Chris Shanahan.

The event runs in Memorial Park June 30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and July 1 from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For a toonie, participants can try to dunk their favourite local celebrity into a chilly

tank of water. All proceeds go to support local organizations including the WhitchurchStouffville Food Bank.

For more information, call 416-556-2124 or visit www.strawberryfestival.ca The festival opens June 29. Popular prefestival events includes Wednesday’s Music Festival at Stouffville United Church and the Lions Beef Barbecue in Memorial Park next Thursday.

Look for the official festival program with Saturday’s Sun-Tribune.

Burrows would like shot at OHL From page 1.

other people who could easily have been chosen, including several with the Spirit.

It’s a trickle down effect, he said, from the assistant coaches down the line to those who volunteered their time on game days to ensure there were no hitches in how the game was presented to the loyal fans.

“I certainly didn’t expect to get this award.

It’s actually overwhelming. Especially when you look at the people who have won this in the past like Cliff Dunkeld, Keith Acton and Marlene Streit. I certainly haven’t done the things those people did. There’s more deserving people than me and there was probably quite a list.

“It’s an honour to receive it, but it’s not just about one person. A lot of people were a part of (the championship). It’s actually been a build up over the last three and a half years (from the time Burrows was rehired as the Spirit general manager).”

Burrows made his coaching debut as an assistant when he was 22 years old with a Stouffville Clippers midget rep team, remaining with them for three seasons.

After taking a couple of years off from the game, Burrows returned and made his debut with the fledgling Spirit. That was 15 years ago when the team was owned by Ed Hakonson and coached by Dan Larmer.

After two seasons of being a scout for the Spirit, Burrows then moved up the ranks to become an assistant coach under Brian Perrin, who was hired in 1998.

It was during his first year working as an assistant coach when Burrows said he had a desire to some day become a general

manager.

That call eventually came four years later during the 2001-02 campaign when Burrows stepped up to become the club’s general manager after Dieter Schmidt, who served in that post, became ill and retired.

“If things like that aren’t taken care of, the players hate it,” he said. “Hockey is an emotional game and that’s when I decided I wanted to be a general manager where I could affect the team in a positive manner rather than being a coach, which everyone wants to do.”

Relieved of his duties after the 2006-07 season, Burrows took over as general manager of the now defunct Collingwood Blues for one season.

He started the next season with the Newmarket Hurricanes before receiving a call from then Spirit co-owner Dave Laren asking if he would like to return to Stouffville.

Burrows eventually returned to the Spirit where he’s been the general manager for the last three-and-a-half seasons.

Burrows was quick to acknowledge his job was made easier when given plenty of leeway to do what he wanted from Hakonson and current co-owner Zeev Werek.

“If it wasn’t for Ed there might not be a Spirit team in Stouffville today,” Burrows said. “Ed saved the team and he wasn’t really a hockey guy, but more into cars.

“Zeev has spent a lot of money on the team. He does it the right way and doesn’t want to be in the spotlight. He loves the team and community,” Burrows said.

Werek said he could not think of any other person more deserving of this year’s honour.

“It was long overdue. He’s been a real gem

Craig Donovan, who coached the OJHL club to its first-ever Buckland Cup title last season and was hired by Burrows, agreed.

“There are days when he would drop in at our practice for a few minutes before heading off to scout a game or tournament involving minor midget or midget players,” Donovan said. “He spends as much time in the rinks during the winter months as any Ontario Hockey League scout would do. He’s a tireless worker when it comes to finding the right player. By right in terms of the potential to

grow as a player and as good kids.

“He makes sure they’re good players and good citizens. To do that takes a lot of time. He does a lot to bring quality players to Stouffville.

For a small town, the franchise has been successful under his guidance.”

The OJHL’s executive of the year would relish a chance to work at a higher level.

“I’d love a shot at the Ontario Hockey League as a general manager,” said Burrows, who owns the Farmer Jack’s garden store in Sharon. “I know a lot of guys in the league and I’ve watched a lot of them and if I had a chance I’d grab it in a heartbeat.

“I don’t think they’ll find a harder working person.”

camaraderie so valued in volunteer organizations, no matter how busy she is herself ...

She supports the ideas and projects of other members. And even when triple-booked for the day with family and church commitments, she always finds time to drop off the pie or salad for the bowling tournament or help in the kitchen for a few hours,” according to Kevin McWhinnie.

“Her quiet, efficient demeanour exemplifies a truly selfless volunteer. Carol works to better our community without asking for any reward,” according to fellow volunteer Doris Harvey.

Ms Morin is not just the programmer for the now-named 55 Plus Silver Jubilee Club, she is also an active member of the Stouffville Lawn Bowling Club. One of her tasks is to produce its newsletter.

“Lawn bowling was one of the best things I ever got into,” she said.

For the past 20 years Ms Morin has been a member of St. Mark’s Choir. She is also its music cataloguer.

“I do enjoy organizing things. The cataloguer comes back. I like to see people enjoy themselves. ... That’s what makes it worthwhile,” she said.

Ms Morin has also completed two terms with the Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library Board between 1975 and 2010.

Ms Morin first started volunteering for organizations her children were involved with.

“If you want your kids to be a part of some-

thing, you should help out,” she said.

As a guide leader, Ms Morin was also a camp cook who became famous for her mashed potatoes.

She also helped out with brownies and minor softball, all while raising three children and working as a library cataloguer.

‘This is what you can do when you retire. There is no end of things you can do when you retire.’

It was in 2007 when she finally retired. At the same time, Ms Morin saw how joining a seniors’ club changed her sister-in-law’s life, so she decided it was time for her to do the same.

“I have the problem now, I can’t seem to fit anything else in,” she said.

Although Ms Morin’s volunteering keeps her busier than when she worked fulltime, she manages to pack it all in between Mondays and Fridays as the weekends are reserved for her three children and nine grandchildren.

“This is what you can do when you retire.

There is no end of things you can do when you retire,” Ms Morin said without a hint of slowing down.

Ms Morin will receive her award June 29 during the opening ceremonies of the Strawberry Festival. The event is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in the marquee tent in Memorial Park.

SPORTS: Stouffville Secondary’s top athletes honoured

Few slam dunks for Spartan coaching staff this year

BY MICHAEL HAYAKAWA

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

Choosing a student athlete of the year can be a challenging task.

This year was no exception for the Stouffville District Secondary School coaching staff before the recipients were revealed at the school’s annual athletic banquet last Thursday.

Chosen as the senior male athlete of the year was Melvin Nolan. Lucy Lombardo and Jaimie Dobson were named co-senior

4See photographs on page 25. female athletes of the year.

For a second straight year, Greg Barker was junior male athlete of the year.

The junior female award was shared by Melissa Nowikow and Hayley Desjardins.

“It was tough to choose this year’s winners,” said Jamie Hewitt physical education head. “There was no one from the seniors that really jumped out. With the senior boys

there were six nominees and just look at the female senior and junior athletes where you had duo winners.”

The only recipient that really stood out, Hewitt said, was Barker.

A Grade 10 student who competed in volleyball, hockey and track and field, Barker was the only junior-eligible student athlete who played at the senior level, as an assistant captain with the Spartans hockey team.

Where Barker really dominated though, was in track and field where he finished fourth in shotput and discus at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations championships in Brockville.

At the York Region finals, he won the gold medal in the shotput with a meet record toss of 15.10 metres and was second in discus.

“You can tell how good of an athlete he is,” Hewitt said. “But he’s also a better person than an athlete. He’s humble and excellent with his teammates.”

Steve Jimmo, Spartans’ track and field coach, said what makes Barker special is his ability to combine several important traits.

‘better person than athlete’ “He’s very coachable and very athletic and physically stands out heads and shoulders above everyone,” he said. “And he has an ability to compete well when the pressure’s on.”

Nolan, a Grade 12 student, competed as a scrum half in rugby and guard in basketball.

“Melvin began our season at outside centre but by the third game we moved him to scrum half since we thought we needed more output from that position,” said Hewitt, the school’s

MAGNIFLEX BRINGS ITALIAN LUXURY MATTRESSES TO STOUFFVILLE FINE FURNITURE

“At Magniflex, we are designers first and foremost.

‘begged to come out’ Lombardo, a Grade 12 student, was a member of the Spartans’ field hockey, ice hockey, rugby and soccer teams.

Also a Grade 12 student, Dobson played field hockey, basketball, volleyball and soccer for the Spartans and served as the school’s athletic council president.

“They’re both amazing athletes,” said Spartans’ physical education teacher Tara LeBar. Having coached Lombardo in rugby, LeBar recalled she was one of their best backs and was a strong leader.

Sara Bubnick, Spartans field hockey coach, said Lombardo had an ability to transfer her skills from one sport to another.

Also coaching Dobson in field hockey, Bubnick said she was like Lombardo in possessing a natural gift to excel at all sports.

“I taught her in phys ed in Grade 10 and begged her to come out for the field hockey team. But it wasn’t until this year when she came out and she was one of our MVPs. She’s a determined and dedicated player and always had a smile on her face. She’s one of the most coachable players that I had who played in every one of our games for the entire game,” Bubnick said.

Nowikow and Desjardins are both Grade 10 students.

“She trained hard and given what she had to do in working out, she would do it,” Jimmo said of Nowikow, who ran the 1,500m and was a member of the cross country, ice hockey and softball teams.

A member of the volleyball, soccer and rugby teams, Desjardins was described by LeBar as being a “truly amazing athlete”.

“She led by example on the court,” LeBar, who coached Desjardins in volleyball, said.

“She always said ‘thanks’ and had energy that coaches love to see. She came every day to practice with that type of attitude.”

Also coaching Desjardins in rugby where she played as a back, LeBar said she was fast and was like a machine out on the pitch.

It’s a tough position to play because you’re in on almost every play. And he had to learn how to box kick and with practice he became good at it as that’s tough to do. He was a critical piece to what success we had.”

Karen Cockburn continued to tune up for the 2012 Summer Olympics by finishing third in a pre-Olympic World Cup trampoline meet in Albacete, Spain Sunday.

Setting her sights on a fourth straight Olympic medal, the 31-year-old Stouffville resident placed third behind Shanshan Huang and Dan Li of China, who placed first and second, respectively.

Cockburn wanted to score 56 points or over in the final to keep pace with her Chinese rivals but had to settle for 55.13.

While elated to claim the bronze, Cockburn said she had to make some adjustments to the equipment used at the meet and elected to execute manoeuvres of a higher difficulty.

final pre-Games meet on weekend “The trampolines here are more powerful than the ones we’ll be using at the Olympics, so that took some adjusting,” she said on Gymnastics Canada’s website.

“I used my optional routine with the higher difficulty in the final and I just need to keep on working on the small things.”

Cockburn also acknowledged the competition she went up against will likely be the individuals who stand in her way of trying to capture her first Olympic gold medal.

“This was one of the strongest women’s field ever at a World Cup so this was a really good test leading up to the Games,” said Cockburn, the 13-time Canadian champion who won bronze at the 2000 Olympics and silver in 2004 and 2008.

Before competing in the Olympics, Cockburn has one more World Cup meet, this weekend in Arosa, Switzerland.

Mennos try again with A’s tonight FLYERS For the record, the Stouffville Mennos incurred a 6-3 loss at the hands of the Scarborough Athletics in their Oshawa City and District Fastball League game in Scarborough Tuesday.

But for the Mennos, the loss turned out to be a moral victory.

Especially since the Mennos went the distance against the first-place and undefeated Athletics after losing to them in a mercyshortened affair one week ago.

Trailing 1-0 after one inning, the Mennos tied the game in their half of the second.

But the Athletics countered with four runs in the third to take a 5-1 lead.

In the fifth inning, the Mennos scored a pair of runs to trail 5-3 and had an opportunity to further reduce their deficit when they left two base runners stranded.

The Athletics though, added some breathing room by delivering one run in their turn

at bat to round out the scoring.

Mennos’ starting pitcher Greg Dalgarno went the distance, surrendering six runs and 10 hits in six innings.

The loss dropped the Mennos’ record to 3-6. The same two teams are scheduled to play at Memorial Park tonight at 8:30 p.m.

Bourgeois third in New York Michael Bourgeois ran his way to a thirdplace finish in the 3,000-metre steeplechase event at the 2012 USATF East Regional Championships at Randall’s Island Park, N.Y. Racing for the Newmarket Huskies, the 18-year-old Whitchurch-Stouffville resident was timed in 10:42.94.

Bourgeois also took part in the 10,000m race but only ran 3,000m of it to set the pace for a competitor trying to make the world junior standard time.
