ALI RAZA aliraza@yrmg.com Picture yourself as an immigrant who has just arrived in Canada and has settled in a community in York Region. You don’t speak English and you need to get your life in order; employment, housing, school, etc.

It sounds like an overwhelming task, but it’s one in which millions of immigrants in Canada’s history have succeeded at. Today in York Region is no different.

Arpine Manukyan, 31, came to Canada in 2011, she settled in Woodbridge and had three children. Though she is fluent in academiclevel Russian and Armenian, her lack of English knowledge made life challenging.

Two months ago, Manukyan decided her children were old enough to give her time to enrol in English language classes at a York Region Welcome Centre in Vaughan. In just two months, she’s all but mastered the language, speaking confidently to her teachers and peers.

Manukyan said when she first arrived in Canada with no knowledge of English everything was challenging.

"I lost myself, I didn’t know how to go or do anything without any English," she said.

Almost fluent now, Manukyan credits her progress to watching English language television, listening to radio and reading English books. While raising three children, she slips in English language practice whenever she has 15 or 20 minutes to spare.

Now after learning English with the goal of improving it to match her Russian and Armenian abili-

Steve Somerville/Metroland

Arpine Manukyah, originally from Armenia and Russia, at the Welcome Centre Immigrant Services office in Vaughan. ties, Manukyan stresses the importance of learning a new language.

"To me, to live in this country, to be a good citizen, you have to learn the language, the tradition, the culture. It’s important," she said.

Of the region’s 1.1 million residents, about 89 per cent

speak English. Six per cent have knowledge of French, while five per cent of residents have no knowledge of either official language.

Seventy-one per cent of residents speak English at home. Given the data on languages and the region’s growing immigrant communities, the Welcome Cen-

tres opened as a resource for newcomers and anyone to learn English.

York Region Welcome Centres also aid newcomers in settlement and employment. With five centres across Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham and Newmarket, they offer services in several languages, in-

cluding Arabic, Cambodian, Cantonese, English, Farsi, French, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Mandarin, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Tamil, Urdu, Vietnamese and Dari.

Regina Chan, general manager of the Vaughan Welcome Centre, says a common theme among stories from English students is they wish they had learned the language faster.

"A lot of students who share their story say they worked when they first came to Canada," Chan said. "Taking English classes was not a priority at the time - for survival they got a job."

Chan says newcomers may have had enough English skills to "get by" at their first jobs, but after three or four years they felt "stuck."

"That’s when they thought to come back, learn the language and explore new pathways for employment," Chan said.

The centres are funded

by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration, but managed by five agencies across York Region, including Social Enterprise and COSTI Immigrant Services. Social Enterprise partnership co-ordinator Darlene Brown says the centres were created knowing that most clients would not speak English fluently or at all.

"With migratory trends being what they were, the anticipation was that this portion would grow over the years," she said.

That demographic has grown considerably since the first Welcome Centre opened in Vaughan in 2007.

After English, the most popular language in York

Region is Chinese (including Cantonese and Mandarin). Approximately 12 per cent of York Region residents speak either Cantonese or Mandarin.

Three per cent of residents speak Russian, two per cent speak Farsi, also known as Persian. Another two per cent of residents speak Italian and two per cent speak Tamil. Korean, Urdu, Spanish, Punjabi and Gujarati are spoken by one per cent of residents each.

Three of those languages Urdu, Punjabi and Gujarati - originate from India and Pakistan, reflecting a growing community of South Asian Canadians.

The last three per cent of residents speak Tagalog, Arabic, Vietnamese, Romanian and French.

In total there are 122 languages spoken by York Region residents.

Welcome Centres in different municipalities are also reflecting which languages are growing in which part of the region.

"You have a higher population of Asians in the Markham area," Brown said. "So they’re looking for supports with Asian languages and support for seniors. In Newmarket, we’re seeing a growing trend here with Farsi speakers, where before it used to be Russian."

Chan says as the northern municipalities in York Region are also seeing a growth in foreign-language speakers.

"Newmarket is now very mixed," she said. "We have Vietnamese- and Cambodian-speaking clients."

Richmond Hill is home to several Farsi and Russian speakers, while Vaughan is seeing a growing Arabic-speaking community, Chan added.

Same-sex marriage has been legal in Canada for more than a decade.

At the time, Canada was only the fourth country in the world – and the first outside Europe – to do so. The House of Commons passed the Civil Marriage Act in 2005. A decade later, after a Supreme Court ruling in the United States, and a successful referendum in Ireland, same-sex marriage is now recognized in more than 20 countries.

Here, Lynn Warren (right) and Alex Ali, former contestants on the Amazing Race 7, celebrate their marriage following a ceremony in Ottawa, Wednesday, June 1, 2005.

BEEF CHOPS BIG SHRIMPIN' TEXAS

These are the big-ticket item for Father’s Day weekend: Neanderthal, double-cut, bone-in, big-enough-toserve-two-fully-grown-carnivores, behemoth steaks.

Several notes on cooking these: firstly, given the fact we only sell prime beef, you’re doing yourself a great disservice if you’re seasoning with anything but salt and pepper. Keep it simple --- you want to taste what you’re paying for. Secondly, given the thickness of these bad boys, it’s all too easy to burn the outside and have a raw centre. I’d cook these in the reverse order, cooking for an hour over a low temp, flipping regularly until you come to your desired doneness and then searing them to finish. And finally, invest in a meat thermometer, which will allow you to get it down to a science and leave nothing to chance. Cook your steak to 140˚F for medium rare, let it rest for five minutes off the grill and voila, you’ve nailed your Father’s Day dinner! Featured at: POUND

We’ll have Raw Shrimp on special at our fish counter. Just as I do the chicken burgers once a year for Mother’s Day, I must cook Evan’s fave ‘Bonfire Shrimp’ for Father’s Day. The recipe is tweaked slightly each year depending on what’s in Cathy and Evan’s pantry, but follows this blueprint: devein the shrimp, slicing down the top of their shell but DO NOT peel the shrimp. Marinate these in oil, a dry white wine, lemon juice, minced garlic, a touch of cayenne, salt and pepper. Get your ‘q as hot as possible. Place the shrimp on and then dump half the marinade over them. It will flare up like crazy but as soon as the flames die down, they’re ready to flip. Repeat with the remainder of your marinade and then serve on a platter with some lemon wedges. They are actually incredible --- keeping them in the shell gives them all of that amazing char flavour but protects them from burning, giving you the juiciest, POUND sweetest shrimp imaginable.

Country music meets barbecue on day three of the Whitchurch-Stouffville Strawberry Festival.

The Hometown Country Barbecue is set for Sunday, July 2 at 6 p.m. Part of the three-day festival, the country barbecue invites visitors of all ages to enjoy live country music with a variety of barbecue food.

Local stores including the Meat Merchant and Vince’s BBQ will serve ribs, chicken, burgers and more. If that’s not enough, the Stouffville Baseball Association is planning to have a corn roast.

As for the lineup, it’ll be local country music artists in line with the Canada 150 celebrations. Artists include country/folk singer-songwriter Amber-Jo Bowman, Country Music Association of Ontario’s (CMAO) Artist of the Month for January 2017 Ben Hudson, and CMAO Male Artist of the Year nominee Marshall Dane.

The country music show takes place at the Marquee. Admission is free.

In addition, as part of Canada Day celebrations, the strawberry festival will celebrate Epidemic Music Group’s recent Guinness record achievement of longest concert by multiple artists with lead producer Kevin Ker. The festival is seeking sponsors, vendors and volunteers leading up to and on the day of the event.

Volunteers are needed for every aspect of the event, including Smart Serve volunteers. Last year’s festival had help from 100 volunteers.

To apply, email sponsor@strawberryfestival.ca, vendor@strawberryfestival.ca or volunteer@strawberryfestival.ca, depending on your need.

We’ll start off with one of my all-time faves, Doreen’s Potato & Egg Salad. Boiled potato and eggs tossed with chopped celery in a tangy dressing. When I worked in the kitchen I used to love tossing this when the potatoes were still slightly warm and helping myself to a heaping portion. Nothing is better.

A squeeze of lemon into this goes a long way and really draws out that inherent freshness.

Reg. $8.99/900ml We’ll have a Steak and Wild Mushroom Stew. Tender chunks of melt-in your mouth beef paired with the rich flavour of porcini mushrooms. How can you go wrong?

Reg. $10.99/500g foil We’re keeping it simple with our salad special of the week, which will be our Caesar Salad. Definitely a notch above this restaurant go-to, as we make the bacon bits, dressing and croutons all in-house. Reg. $10.99/cont.

As the produce buyer at the store, I would be hardpressed to pick a favourite fruit, but fresh peaches and nectarines are certainly right up there. It makes me so sad when I see a perfectly ripe peach with the tiniest bruise as I have to pull it off the shelf. I eat as many of these as possible myself, as we don’t really have a second use for them, that is until Kulam came up with a Peach and Mango Salsa. This is exceptional on pork or chicken, or just with some tortillas. Reg.$5.99/250ml We’ll have our Double-Baked Potatoes at the deli this week. We usually do several flavours, a Plain Jane, a Sour Cream and Chive and a Caramelized Onion and Cheddar. Mix and match, pick a few up to serve alongside your Father’s Day steaks. Reg. $1.99/100g Our salad dressing of the week will be Blue Cheese.

This is one of Evan’s go-to’s that he loves to enjoy on wedge salads or grilled romaine hearts. Personally, I like to drizzle a little over a medium-rare steak. Either way, it’s highly versatile and perfect if you’re into the blues.

Reg. $5.99/250ml We have a pair of goodies from the freezer this week.

Firstly, we’ll have our Leg of Lamb in Rosemary Sauce ($23.99/8x5 foil). Think of this as essentially a Lamb Pot Roast...it’s real tasty. We’ll also have our Carrot, Ginger and Orange Soup ($8.99/900ml). This is a straight-forward carrot soup with a zing from the ginger and a brightness from the citrus.

All-day GO train service coming to Stouffville line TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com You’ll be able to get on the GO twice as much on the Stouffville line from now on.

Riders getting on at the Unionville GO station will now have new GO train trips every hour in both directions to Union Station during the midday and evening periods, and there will be a new morning and late-evening weekday train going all the way to the Lincolnville GO station at the end of the Stouffville line.

In all, there will 17 new train trips per weekday, doubling the number of weekly train trips from 85 to 170 on the Stouffville GO corridor.

The cost of the added service will be $800,000 per year, said Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca, who was in Markham at the Unionville GO Station Wednesday morning to make the announcement.

"I hear from friends and neighbours about the transportation challenges we all

face. That’s why we are making the investments we are making," Del Duca said.

"We are doubling the number of GO Train trips on the Stouffville line to provide all-day service on the Stouffville line from Monday to Friday. We’ll be able to help people get from point A to point B more efficiently," he added.

The new service will begin on Monday, June 26.

Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti thanked the province for the added service and pointed out that it was timely given that Markham Centre, bordered by Warden Avenue, Kennedy Road, Hwy. 7, and Hwy. 407, will grow to 40,000 people and 40,000 jobs in the next 20 or so years. He said the addition of the York University campus and its 4,000-plus students in four years’ time will make additional GO service paramount.

"This announcement is long overdue ... this government has stayed committed to its plan, so thank you for

16 per cent of York Region employers plan to hire, 3 per cent will cut: survey LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com If you are looking for a job in York Region, this should come as some fairly good news.

Employers expect a modest hiring climate heading into the third quarter of the year, running from July through Septem-

ber, according to the ManpowerGroup. Its employment outlook survey suggests 16 per cent of York employees plan to hire workers, while only 3 per cent anticipate handing out layoff notices, Maple Kyriacou of Manpower’s Markham office, said.

The vast majority, 81 per cent, expect they will keep

their workforce at current levels.

Nationally, the tone for the employment outlook for the third quarter is "cautious optimism," especially in urban areas where there will be slow, but steady, job growth, Darlene Minatel, vice-president of Manpower Canada operations and strategic accounts.

ABOUT US

Not our story to tell

The Stouffville Sun-Tribune, published every Thursday, is a division of the Metroland Media Group Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The Metroland family of newspapers is comprised of more than 100 community publications across Ontario.

In last week’s Metroland Central report, we explored something of what it’s like to be an Indigenous person at this time in our history.

The scathing results of the Truth and Reconciliation report along with the lack of clean water on reserves and the national disgrace that is the gruesome number of murdered and missing Indigenous women across Canada, are top of mind at the same time our country is celebrating 150 years of Confederation.

We all celebrate Canada, we’re proud of our county and all of its people.

But the Europeans who claimed an already populated land made and broke countless treaties and conspired to destroy the myriad cultures of First Nations people were guilty of betrayal, murder, rape, cultural annihilation and genocide.

Many will argue Canada would easily have lost the war of 1812 without the support of Tecumseh and the fear his warriors instilled in the hearts of the American troops.

They won that war for Britain and the deals made to assure this were defaulted on.

It is high time we faced these truths and worked toward reconciliation.

So when we approached this piece we did it in the knowledge that we could not carry our colonialist viewpoint into the report.

Our jobs are usually going out, getting information, and then writing and publishing what we learned. But in this case we were loath to take the words said to us by Indigenous people and put it through our own lens, thus distorting it with our views.

The voices had to come directly from Indigenous minds.

Our first step was to send three reporters into communities to talk with Indigenous people and ask them what we should write about and who to talk with. We brought that information back and it was clear the authors of our the bulk of our pieces had to be the ones living the experience.

The result was two opinion pieces, one from a woman who will not be attending the fireworks celebrations this month, and the other from a woman who believes education is the answer to growth and healing. We spoke with Indigenous people in Toronto and on reserves; with families, young professionals and artists looking toward a bright future while honouring a dark past.

There is inspiration in their stories and lessons to be learned about the similarities and differences we share.

And we have photos. Spending a day with folks, letting the camera’s eye capture the experience rather than put it into our words seemed most honest to us.

Thanks for Stouffville content A big thank-you to Ali Raza and to Jim Thomas for keeping Stouffville content going in the SunTribune. When editor Jim Mason retired and the Main Street Tribune office closed, one wondered if the paper was going to quietly slip away.

It was good to see nine local articles in the May 25 issue.

Small town newspapers need to continue to be publicizing local cultural events, supporting local heroes, artists, musicians, sports teams, reporting on charitable events, dinners and festivals, reviewing plays, choral concerts, and dance recitals, etc.

I have only one request.

Memories of head-on collision still vivid 28 years later It was a night I’ll always remember. A night I’d like to forget.

The date was June 2, 1989. The time was 8 p.m.

The location was Hwy. 48 near 18th Avenue, Markham. This rendezvous with mortality occurred 28 years ago, for me and four others. Thanks to a miracle we all survived.

The evening began like most back then, a 15-minute trip to pick up daughter Mary-Lynn and friend John Morrison, employed part-time at a Markham groceteria.

However, on the way home everything changed. In a matter of seconds the whole world seemingly turned upside down when a deer emerged from a small growth of trees and darted directly into the path of our car. In a last-second effort to avoid collision, I swerved to the left. A bad decision. For not only did

the injured deer later die via a police officer’s bullet but a violent head-on crash occurred involving an oncoming southbound vehicle.

I remember nothing concerning the impact, only wife Jean, a frontseat passenger shouting "look out" as two beams of light bore down. The force of my head hitting the windshield rendered me unconscious. But only briefly.

"Are you kids all right?" I recalled asking.

They were, a bit shaken up but otherwise OK. Not so Jean. She suffered a broken jaw and facial lacerations. I sustained three fractured ribs plus the aforementioned knock on the noodle. Fortunately, we all were wearing seatbelts.

The car, an ’89 Pontiac, less than three weeks old, was a writeoff. For the next couple of years our

JIM THOMAS Roaming Around car insurance soared out of sight.

Despite the collision’s seriousness, I often think back to what might have been had the impact involved a much larger vehicle - a gravel truck or a bus. It would have been "game-over". We have so much for which to be thankful.

It’s at a time like this one truly appreciates the available services we so often take for granted - police officers; firefighters; ambulance personnel and, yes, assistance pro-

But the cruelest was yet to come. When two husky interns lifted me onto the surveillance slab I came close to comatose.

The pain was excruciating. But I survived.

On the positive side, the service provided by an overworked nursing staff was amazing. They responded immediately to every call, often during early morning hours.

The attending male physician was only tolerable. His hypo needle was much longer than I ’felt’ necessary.

In what to me seemed like but several minutes, the accident scene was cordoned off and emergency aid provided.

Jim Mason, now retired editor of the then Stouffville Sun, picked up the collision report on his police radio. While the location was outside his regular news boundary, he decided to check it out, not knowing one of the ’victim’ drivers was his former editor adversary.

Like it or not, I was scooped on my own story!

The ambulance trip to Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital, Richmond Hill was, for me, almost unbearable. Every bump in the road sent shock waves through my physique.

TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com Seasonal allergy sufferers could be in for a long haul this year. ’Tis the season for stuffy noses, sinus congestion, itchy eyes and the rest of the symptoms associated with seasonal allergies triggered by pollen.

While many enjoyed the abnormally warm days in February this year, those who suffer from pollen allergies are now paying the price. According to AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alan Reppert, that warm air gave a head start to the growing season, triggering allergy symptoms earlier than normal.

It’s also possible the allergy season will be longer than usual.

"The ragweed and pollen season is predicted to be a month longer because of environmental drivers," York Region’s health protection manager Helen Doyle said.

"There are several drivers such as warmer weather, a milder winter, increased carbon dioxide levels and more frequent thunder storms."

Steve Somerville/Metroland

Experts are saying it is going to be an extended season for those who suffer from seasonal allergies due to the rain, warmer temperatures that are increasing pollen counts.

She added that the region is currently conducting a climate change and health vulnerability assessment that will further examine the impacts of climate drivers and how they impact residents’ health.

Pollen will be one of many targets in the assessment along with other priority issues such as air

quality, extreme heat events and flooding.

It could take years to complete the study fully and as more data becomes available it will be included in the assessment. Currently, the region is looking at data from other organizations, such as Health Canada.

City of Markham parks

manager David Plant said tall grass and weeds also contribute to seasonal allergies. Rain is also a factor.

or not this season is worse but I have been seeing the typical number of patients with allergy concerns this year."

Not everyone will seek out professional help to relieve their allergy symptoms. Some find relief with over-the-counter nasal sprays and antihistamines. There are a number of measures allergy sufferers can take to make themselves more comfortable.

Watch online weather websites for a day-by-day pollen rating that lets people know if pollen levels are low, medium or high each day.

When the pollen counts are high, stay indoors if possible with the windows closed and air conditioner on. Using a saline nasal rinse and showering before bed will rid your body of any pollen collected by being outdoors during the day.

From April 1 to the end of May, the city recorded 254 millimetres of rain compared to 79 mm last year over the same two months.

"The wet conditions make it very difficult for large equipment to operate without leaving ruts and damage which can be a safety issue for the public," Plant said.

"We’re a little bit delayed. We’re facing the same challenges we face every spring with the fresh growth that the rain and the heat bring on. We’re working very actively to have first cut completed by end of this week."

Southlake Regional Health Centre’s family medicine chief Dr. Paul Cantarutti said this is typically the time of year when people with tree and grass pollen allergies visit doctors and clinics seeking relief.

Throw your Canada Day party with tips from an expert SARA CARSON scarson@simcoe.com For Canadian entertaining expert Sebastien Centner, our country inspires thoughts of the great outdoors, Quebec cheese, Ontario wines, maple syrup and Kim Mitchell’s Patio Lanterns.

When it comes to throwing an unforgettable Canada Day party, Centner has unique tips you can use at home.

Dazzling decor “We want to find ways to celebrate our country and celebrate Canada Day in a way that is typically Canadian, which is being (environmentally) responsible,” Centner said.

Menu inspired by Canadian food and drink Serve Ontario wines with Quebec cheese, British Columbia smoked salmon, lob-

ster from Nova Scotia, or beef sliders using Alberta beef. Cook Prince Edward Island scalloped potatoes with shaved Alberta beef, or scallops and herbs from the east coast.

For dessert, Centner suggests taking inspiration from Canada’s winter. Create maple syrup taffy at home by freezing a large block of ice. Pour maple syrup on the block and roll the now thick syrup onto a Popsicle stick.

Cool Canadian cocktails When it comes to home entertaining, Centner recommends batch cocktails.

“It’s self-serve. All you have to do is replenish glassware,” he said.

Create a Caesar bar with all the trimmings.

Make a pitcher of classic Caesars and spicy Caesar and provide celery salt for glass rims and garnishes like celery, cucumbers, tiger prawns, edamame beans and long green beans.

You could also serve pitchers of red and white sangria.

really momentous. From that point of view that’s where I think integrating silver and gold work really well,” Centner said.

Instead of cut flowers, Centner would plant red, or white impatiens in clay terracotta pots. If you choose silver, put a mirror under your pots for an inexpensive and easy touch of elegance, he added.

Create your own playlist, or find one on Spotify, a music streaming service.

“What a great way to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary if you go from Stompin’ Tom to Justin Bieber,” Centner said.

How to reinvent your outdoor dining space

As the temperature heats up, Canadians are bringing the style and comfort of their interiors outside to create an extension of their living area. And with traditional, contemporary and transitional options available, extending your home’s aesthetic to your patio or backyard has never been easier.

One of the best perks of summer is enjoying meals outside, so take time to create the perfect space for hosting intimate dining, family cookouts or an evening cocktail party.

Storage, shelter, and seating for guests will help keep the grillmaster in good company. If you’re a real cooking aficionado, consider adding a pizza oven or smoker to up the ante.

President and CEO of Saint Elizabeth Health Care Shirlee Sharkey received a doctor of laws degree shortly after speaking

at a convocation of students from the faculties of education and health sciences. The convocation ceremony was on Thursday, June 8.

Sharkey called the expe-

June 4 – 22, 2017 Every Sunday - Thursday

rience "wildly exciting."

She was informed of her accolade after a lengthy nomination process.

"You have a few moments in your career where you go ’this was wonderful’, and this was one of those moments," Sharkey said about receiving the degree.

While speaking to graduating students, Sharkey

shared her own experiences combined with tips and suggestions on how to build a fulfilling career.

"This [the honorary degree] also reaffirms to students that their careers can be an amazing experience," Sharkey said.

First cricket pitch to be unveiled at Bethesda Field

ALI RAZA aliraza@yrmg.com

Move over baseball, Stouffville’s finally getting a cricket pitch.

The opening ceremony of the pitch is scheduled for Saturday, June 17 at noon. Mayor Justin Altmann and members of council will attend for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

After the ceremony, Stouffville’s two cricket teams will go head-to-head to test the pitch.

The match is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.

The not-so-known bat-andball sport has a growing following in Whitchurch-Stouffville.

The Stouffville Cricket Association has 20 to 30 registered players.

The new pitch is an upgrade of the former single cricket pitch on the Bethesda Sports Field. In 2015, when the Stouffville Cricket Association requested a facility in front of council, members said the old pitch was "dangerous and unsuitable for match play due to the condition of the playing surface."

Now, those worries are gone as the club has a new pitch to practice on. In partnership with the Markham Cricket Academy, the Stouffville Cricket Association runs a youth drop-in program on Thursday nights at Oscar Peterson Public School.

Bethesda Sports Field is on 6301 Bethesda Rd. For more information about the pitch or the Stouffville Cricket Association, contact info@stouffvillecricketassociation.ca

Town of Whitchurch Stouffville photo

Musselman’s Lake’s first municipal park - Coultice Park - is set for a grand opening on June 17 at 10 a.m.

Coultice Park to open as Musselman’s Lake’s first park ALI RAZA aliraza@yrmg.com The first park in Musselman’s Lake is finally ready for residents.

The grand opening of Coultice Park is set for Saturday, June 17 at 10 a.m. Mayor Justin Altmann, members of council and other town staff will be on-site for a ribbon cutting, fitness demos, games and prizes.

The park is located on 14769 Ninth Line, with parking available at the Cedar Beach parking lot. It will include senior and junior play structures, a splashpad, a parking area and an accessible washroom.

A multi-purpose court with

lighting for winter skating has been built, as well as several walking trails and fitness stations. While originally intended to open October 2016, the park has opened in time for the summer.

Town council approved the construction of the park for $1.7 million on May 3, 2016. Construction of the five-acre park began shortly after in May. The park is the site of the former Wagon Wheel Ranch. It was acquired by the town for $2 plus legal fees of $42,500 from the James Coultice Estate in 2010.

The park features were determined by public meetings and community input. Coultice Park is on the east side of Musselman’s Lake off Ninth Line.

COMMUNITY

5 ways to be supportive to bereaved on Father’s Day SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com 1. Balance Don’t go overboard about how devastating a day this must be, but don’t disregard this fact either. Say something like: "Father’s Day must be difficult for you" and then let the person determine how much he or she wants to talk about it.

2. Be sensitive Don’t go into great detail about the amazing time you had with your father on Father’s Day. 3. Help make new memories If you’re spending time with a father who has lost his own father, you may want to talk about his relationship with his own children. After focusing on his own father for so long, it might be helpful to offer a subtle reminder that Father’s Day is for him and his children, too.

4. Offer support Ask whether he or she would

like to do something to commemorate his or her deceased father on Father’s Day - with or without you - such as visiting his father’s grave.

5. Offer space If the loss is fresh or if this is his or her first Father’s Day

without a father, allow space to grieve and acknowledge how normal it is for a day like Father’s Day to trigger deep emotions.

Memoriam

Memoriam

BRETHOUR, Mervyn A.

In loving memory of my dear Husband who passed away on June 16, 1980.

His memory is as dear today As the hour he passed away The pearly gates were opened A gentle voice said come And with farewells unspoken He gently entered home.

Lovingly remembered by wife Grace.

BRETHOUR, Mervyn A. In loving memory of my dear Father who passed away on June 16th, 1980.

Just a thought of sweet remembrance, Just a memory fond and true, Just a token of affection, And a heartache still for you.

More each day I miss you, though my thoughts are not revealed, Little do they know the sorrow, That is within my heart concealed.

Ever remembered by son Brent.

BRETHOUR, Mervyn A. In loving memory of my dear Father who passed away on June 16th, 1980.

Though tears in my eyes do not glisten, Any my face is not always sad, There is never a night or morning, But I think of the Dad I had.

Not a day do I forget you, In my heart you are always here, For I loved you and missed you, As it ends the 37th year.

Ever remembered by daughter Sherrill.

O’NEILL, Donna June 20, 2013 Four years ago and way too soon you lost your hard fought battle, never complaining, your spirit stayed strong until the end.

We are sure that you are being yourself, still not relaxing, but helping everyone around you or joining them in a cold one.

We will never forget and always have our special memories of the good times.

- Love, Shawn, Jessica, Mom and Family
