Community mourns ‘Mr. Hydro’ Former publisher of The Liberal died Monday

BY ADAM MC LEAN

Remembering their father, Sam Cook, Vickery Bowles and Alison Tkachuk first remark of his compassion toward others.

“Dad was walking around town and a man once asked if dad could lend him $10 for a haircut. Dad gave it to him. That was dad; he wouldn’t hesitate or question; if someone needed something, dad would help,” Ms Tkachuk recalled yesterday.

He would want to be remembered in Richmond Hill as “Mr. Hydro”, said longtime friend and former mayor Bill Bell.

“He was a very dear friend of mine and to the community. He was a fatherly type and a leader; we all looked up to him,” added Mr. Bell of the man who served on the former Richmond Hill Hydro Commission for more than 40 years.

A humanitarian, leader, volunteer, husband and father and former editor and publisher of The Richmond Hill Liberal, Mr. Cook passed away Monday at the age of 87.

His tenure on the hydro commission was an impressive run, considering most of those 40 years were spent as chairperson — a position requiring Mr. Cook to seek regular reelection.

Mr. Bell served on the hydro commission with Mr. Cook for 12 years and Ward 4 Councillor Lynn Foster also served on the comSee SAM, page 10.

Program takes aim at teen drownings

By Kim Zarzour

kzarzour@yrmg.com

It was a stain on an otherwise stellar summer in York Region: one year ago today, on a warm summer evening, two teenaged girls drowned while paddling in the waters of Musselman’s Lake.

Now it appears similar troubles are brewing this year, with mid-summer statistics showing Ontario drownings, while swim-

ming or falling into water, on the increase and a disturbing spike in drowning among teenagers, something the Lifesaving Society hopes to tackle with a new program aimed at pre-teens.

With warmer-than-normal temperatures this summer, more Canadians are turning to water for relief, leaving more people at risk of drowning — teenagers especially, according to Barbara Byers, the society’s public education director.

While the overall number of drownings nationwide decreased last year, the number of drownings among teenagers increased 18 per cent, many due to youths trying to help their friends and putting their own lives at risk, Ms Byers said.

The society has developed a new program aimed at this particularly vulnerable group. Called Swim to Survive+ (Plus), the See NATIONAL, page 12.

“You know how you believe something’s going to happen and then it happens?” said Ms Tao. “I believed I was going to win it and I worked really hard on it. When I got it, I was like, ‘Finally!’”

Despite the added stress, Ms. Tao maintained strong grades, kept her place on the school volleyball team and even found time to volunteer at her former school.

In her application, Ms. Tao wrote at length about “how motivated I was to get to university and create a future for myself.”

Ms Tao was also awarded the St. Vincent De Paul Scholarship, for students living in Oak Ridges.

By MICHAEL HAYAKAWA

mhayakawa@yrmg.com

I love to go fishing.

At the same time, though not always, I also love to eat the fish I catch.

Especially during the outings when I’m in pursuit of salmon or trout and am fortunate enough to land one.

That’s when my thoughts turn to putting the fruits of hard labour onto the grill.

While there are various ways to barbecue salmon or trout, one of the more popular recipes is to place a fillet or steak on a piece of wood and let it cook above the hot charcoals or gas grill.

Not just any piece of lumber will do. Rather, it has to be one that is untreated and made of cedar.

Based on a traditional recipe originally employed by native Indians on the Canadian west coast, there’s nothing complex about cooking salmon or trout in this way.

Pieces of cedar for the purpose of grilling can be purchased at most grocery stores by going to the department where seafood is sold.

Or, you can go to a store that sells lumber and purchase pieces of untreated cedar and custom cut them to fit inside your grill.

Once you’ve got your cedar planks and fish (which can also be purchased at a grocery store if you’re not an avid angler) you can

Michael Hayakawa barbecues dinner using his cedar plank fish barbecue recipe. Check out his Outdoors blog at yorkregion.com begin the preparation process.

For starters, the piece of cedar plank to be used must be waterlogged.

Immerse the wood in a sink or tub of water by weighting it down with some form of heavy object.

The thicker the piece of wood, the longer you want to immerse it so it won’t catch fire once you are grilling the fish.

To be on the safe side, I prefer to keep the wood in water for at least 10 hours.

In preparing the fish, whenever I use a trout or salmon that’s caught in fresh water, I like to marinade it in a salt brine solution for least

one day by applying three parts of water to one of salt.

If the fish you will be using is from saltwater, then just proceed with the marinating process.

While there are no rules as to what to use in a marinade, a simple one is to take a fillet, with the skin removed, and place it in a pan coated with extra virgin olive oil.

Coat the top of the fillet with freshly squeezed lemon juice, crushed black pepper, pieces of chopped onion, fresh dill and taragon.

Let the fish sit in the marinade for at least an hour in the refrigerator.

Once your piece of cedar is waterlogged, apply sea salt on to the top of the board.

Place your marinaded piece of fish on top of the board.

When your grill is fully heated, put the board inside and let it cook for around 20 minutes.

You should be able to smell the aroma of the cedar as the fish is slowly cooking.

If cooking steaks, which are thicker in nature, allow for an extra five to 10 minutes.

As a safety precaution, be sure to have a water bottle near the grill in case the board accidently catches fire.

Your delectable delight will be ready once the flesh flakes off.

Preparing and grilling cedar planked salmon or trout is fun and can be addictive.

Especially during the summer months when grilling is a popular activity.

It also has me looking forward to my next angling expedition for salmon or trout and visualizing the rewards that come with it — right on my dinner plate.

AnimAl ServiceS Survey And licenSing In an effort to improve the animal services we provide, Richmond Hill staff are collecting information about the town’s dog, cat, bird, reptile and other pet residents. Clearly identified Animal Services Representatives will be conducting door-to-door canvassing this summer surveying residents on the pets you may have. These representatives will also be offering you an opportunity to purchase a licence for your dog, should you not already have one.

Licensing your dog is the fastest way to reunite you with your furry friend if he or she is lost. A dog licence lets us know that your pet is not stray or abandoned, but is trying to find a way back home.

About seven dogs every month are reunited with their families because they were wearing licence tags. If your dog is spayed or neutered, the cost for a licence is as little as $10. The proceeds of dog licensing go directly toward the costs of animal services in our community.

We thank you in advance for your participation in this door-to-door canvass about Richmond Hill’s pet population.

If you have any questions about the Town’s animal services or would like to purchase a licence, go to RichmondHill.ca/Pets or call 905-771-8840.

Ward meeting bylaw just adds bureaucracy Re: Perrelli suit court date established, July 12.

I can’t believe council would agree to support this bylaw whereby staff and council must be invited to a ward meeting concerning a particular neighborhood.

Let’s remember, these meetings are usually information sessions in which the ward councillor updates his constituents about issues concerning the immediate neighbourhood.

Deals are not struck and laws are not made at these meetings.

In my experience, information is shared and concerns aired.

A councillor informs himself at these private meetings as to how the people in his ward feel about specific topics.

This bylaw just adds bureaucracy where none is needed.

The logistics just don’t make sense. We have public council meetings and committee of the whole meetings that address such concerns and have the required personnel present.

This bylaw can potentially produce nine extra meetings a week over and above the meetings we now have.

I would hope the town’s legal department has given an appropriate opinion to council.

If it becomes evident the legal department advised the bylaw would be quashed in court and that it is unenforceable, yet council ignored the advice, then those who voted for the bylaw should be financially accountable for the costs and those of Councillor Carmine Perrelli.

I commend Councillor Perrelli for putting his money where his mouth is and for defending all residents’ rights to freely have discussions and opinions without the presence of a whole council and staff.

Tony DiLorenzo Richmond Hill

Councillor Perrelli should step down Re: Perrelli suit court date established, July 12.

So let me get this straight, my ward councillor is suing the town for passing a law that

ensures me access to public meetings.

And now the town will have to use public funds (my money) to defend itself.

This councillor claims he is representing his constituents.

Not me. In fact, not only is he failing to fulfill his mandate of representing his ward’s voting taxpayers, he has placed himself in a position of conflict of interest by suing us.

Councillor Carmine Perrelli should step down until this matter is resolved.

Derek Christie RICHMOND HILL

Councillor should drop lawsuit, resign Re: Perrelli suit court date established, July 12.

I’ve just read, with a touch of dismay and sadness, the article on the latest antics of town jester Carmen Perrelli and his ridiculous lawsuit against the town.

It’s incomprehensible a councillor would take such great umbrage with council’s democratically arrived at decision that he would initiate a lawsuit in protest.

The antics of our council-

lors, such as Nick Papa and Mr. Perrelli walking out of a council meeting and Mr. Papa referring to himself, Mr. Perrelli and Greg Beros as the three stooges of council — oh, excuse me, Mr. Papa referred to his triumvirate as the three musketeers — were so ridiculous, they were kind of funny.

But this latest bit of Perrilliism is serious.

Last time I looked, this is still a democracy. Of what is he afraid? What are these “private”, invitation-only meetings?

Does he want to hold private sessions with developers or favoured residents who support his positions, to the exclusion of the rest of us?

Sorry, Mr. Perrelli, your lame contentions are non-starters.

Council holds far too many private, in-camera meetings already and this is not the way I want the town run.

The latest foolishness of a lawsuit is a waste of our money, as the town will use my and your tax dollars defending a democratic decision.

His total inability to comprehend the fiscal responsibility of administering public funds is astounding, but nothing new, as evidenced by his previous attempt to buy golf clubs on the public purse.

Mr. Perrelli, do the right thing. Stop wasting my money and withdraw the lawsuit and immediately resign.

The town appears out of control, a few examples of which are uncontrolled and unfetterred development, the unnecessary and frivilous rebranding of York Central Hospital at a cost of more than $200,000, the hospital asking council for $50 million and the Richmond Hill Performing Arts Centre wasting $200,000 on a bronze statue instead of putting money into youth or seniors programs. Madness!

This is not how I want my tax dollars spent and this group of councillors are not the people I want spending it.

Tom Kulesh Richmond Hill

Hospital request adds insult to injury I sat quietly, stupefied by what I was hearing.

That was my reaction to the shiny Powerpoint presentation at the June 25 town council meeting. It featured images of gowned and masked physicians using high-tech equip-

Director, Advertising Nicole Fletcher Director, Distribution Tanya Pacheco Director, Operations Barry Black

ment interspersed with graphs and charts that echoed the message being brought forth by the Mackenzie Health bigwigs: “We need more money”.

The hospital rebranding cost $200,000 to $300,000.

On the heels of a two-year wage freeze for non-unionized staff, I am appalled by the optics.

The real issue isn’t the rebranding, however. Ms Beck’s July 5 column touched on this when she addressed the questionable choice of timing for the rebranding.

The 800-pound gorilla at the June 25 council meeting was Mackenzie Health’s request to Richmond Hill for $15 million in funding over the next 10 years for new equipment.

This is in addition to a similar town donation of $10 million in 2003 to assist with the York Central Hospital expansion.

I sat in bewilderment as respected members of my council, one after another, waxed poetic over how important it was to have a hospital we could be proud of — saving lives and standing like a beacon at the vanguard of modern technology.

The federal and provincial governments have done an abysmal job of safeguarding the future of our health care program by undermining access to services and systematically destroying morale.

They have ultimately passed the buck to local hospitals, which have been pressed to make up the shortfall through direct contributions from the community.

In the end, it isn’t a building or equipment that saves lives — it’s people.

Hospital staff, many of whom are tax-paying residents of Richmond Hill, have shouldered the historical burden of cuts to health care spending through wage freezes, staff cutbacks and deflated morale, all the while paying property taxes into the very same public coffers that would be used to fulfill this request.

Those same people go to work every day to serve the people of Richmond Hill.

Spectacular Anniversary Savings Inside!

The case of a York Regional Police officer accused of sexually assaulting a woman during a ride back to a police station has been pushed into November.

The Special Investigations Unit announced a sexual assault charge against Const. Noor Khan in May 2011.

A four-day trial was to begin Monday at the Newmarket courthouse, but was delayed until Nov. 27.

No details as to why the request was made public in the courtroom, except that issues in another forum needed to be addressed.

York Regional Police contacted the province’s Special Investigations Unit Feb. 1 after a 28-yearold woman complained about sexual behaviour by a York officer, the SIU said.

The SIU, which investigates allegations of sexual assault, serious injury and death involving police, was told an incident took place Jan. 27, 2011 in a cruiser on the way to a

police station after the woman was arrested.

Const. Khan was a uniform patrol officer with almost three years of service with the force when the charge was laid.

After the charge was laid by the SIU, Const. Khan was placed on paid suspension and an internal investigation was launched, Chief Eric Jolliffe said.

The officer remains suspended and the internal investigation continues, York police officials said Monday.

Man sought in cellphone kiosk robbery York Regional Police need your help identifying a man in connection with a robbery in Vaughan Saturday morning.

At about 11:15 a.m., a man went to the Virgin Mobile kiosk at the Promenade Mall, produced a note that indicated he had a gun and demanded several cellphones.

Police are looking for a Middle Eastern man who is five-feet, six-

inches tall, weighs 200 pounds and has a heavy build.

He has black hair, brown eyes and is clean shaven.

He was last seen wearing a white baseball cap, black jacket, light coloured shorts, brown construction boots and carrying a black hockey bag with red handles.

If you have information, call police at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 6630 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS, leave an anonymous tip online or text YORK and your tip to CRIMES (274637).

Social activist wants to talk it out online

BY ADAM MC LEAN

amclean@yrmg.com

Having just completed the first episode of her new talk show, Richmond Hill activist Angel Freedman was still giddy with excitement.

“I was a little bit nervous at the beginning, but I thought it went very well,” she said Monday afternoon.

I brought in a vase of flowers and my laptop to spruce up the

desk a bit. Next I will need to get some coffee mugs with the Angel Freedman Show logo on them,” she added with a laugh.

While, she may not yet be taking on the likes of Jay Leno or Dr. Phil in popularity, the mother and former Richmond Hill council candidate is taking to the web to tackle everyday issues on her The Angel Freedman Show.

Issues such as parenting, mar-

riage, divorce, community, love and social justice are topics Ms Freedman, who also works as a public speaker, counsellor and social justice activist, will bring to the forefront with her show.

Ms Freedman’s first show featured Toronto Police Services social media officer Scott Mills and the two discussed the good, the bad and the ugly of social media, for about 30 minutes.

HURRY TO RICHMOND HILL SUBARU !

Clearout Offers End Soon !

The two discussed online child safety, including social media accounts and privacy settings, bullying and intimidation, as well as mentorship strategies for parents and the importance of communicating with your kids.

“You have to know where your kids are at in real life, but also where they are at online, because they could be doing something online that’s putting themselves at risk,” said Const. Mills, during the show.

“If you know that something is bothering your child and it’s got something to do with trouble at school, (ask them) ‘Are you on Facebook or Twitter, is something going on out there? he added, saying parents should not simply take away their child’s computer or phone, but rather engage them to speak about their problems.

It’s messages and advice like these that Ms Freedman hopes to convey through her show and said she sees the online venue as a safe and accessible place to discuss the issues.

The show is featured on alltalktv.com and streamed live from the site’s Toronto studios.

Each 30-minute segment costs $150 to produce and Ms Freedman paid for the first episode herself, though she plans to seek sponsors, going forward.

Ms Freedman said she had been planning a talk show like this for some time, after she appeared on another alltalktv.com show to promote a performance of the Vagina Monologues for a past International Women’s Day event.

The best part of her show, said Ms Freedman, is that by stream-

ANGEL FREEDMAN ing live, the show can be interactive and those watching online can regularly chime in or comment.

During Monday’s broadcast, a police officer from Turks and Caicos Islands contacted Constable Mills via twitter to say he follows his account and was watching the live stream of The Angel Freedman Show from his home in the Caribbean and found the topic of discussion useful.

“When I hear something like that, it absolutely amazes me. To think someone on a Carribean island was tuned into our discussion in a Toronto studio and said it was giving them ideas to engage people in their own community; that’s what the show is all about,” Ms Freedman said.

Ms Freedman’s next show will stream live Monday at 11 a.m.

Topics to be discussed, will be separation, divorce and marriage.

York’s condo market remains hot

By L.H. Tiffany Hsieh

thsieh@yrmg.com

The condominium apartment market in the GTA remains hot, despite a slowing trend in the second quarter of 2012.

The Toronto Real Estate Board reported today 6,435 condominium apartment transactions in the GTA during the second quarter of 2012.

That’s a 2.6-per-cent drop from 6,609 transactions reported in the second quarter of 2011.

However, new listings for condominium apartments were up by 19 per cent

from 2011.

The condominium apartment market has been the best-supplied market segment in the GTA this year because many projects have been completed over the past year, Toronto Real Estate Board president Ann Hannah said in a media release.

That being said, the average price for a condominium apartment was $342,212 during the second quarter.

That’s an increase of 3.2 per cent over the same period in 2011.

The average condominium apartment price in York Region was $340,875, up from $323,774 in 2011.

-mission with Mr. Cook for a time. She was the first woman elected to the post.

She recalls Mr. Cook’s courtesy when helping her settle in to her new role.

“Sam showed me every kindness and was generous in helping me, as a rookie, learn the ropes, meet the personalities that were the rest of the commission and all the staff of Richmond Hill Hydro,” said Ms Foster.

“Sam was a proud resident and though

he was too humble to admit it, his legacy is enormous,” she added.

His legacy continues at what was once the Richmond Hill Hydro building, now the town operations centre, following the sale of Richmond Hill Hydro in 2001.

A boardroom in the town operations centre was named in Mr. Cook’s honour in 2010.

Mr. Cook’s community involvement reached even further, with The Richmond Hill Liberal newspaper during the 1960s and ’70s.

Mr. Cook took over The Liberal publishing duties not long after the death of his fatherin-law, John Eachern “Jack” Smith, in 1967.

Mr. Smith had operated The Liberal, since 1926.

Daughter Vickery Bowles remembers her father as a real newspaper man.

“He loved everything about newspapers, from the current events, right down to examining the type font and width of columns,” recalls Ms Bowles.

“He passed that love for newspapers, politics and current events on to his kids. That and his indomitable spirit,” said Ms Bowles, adding that as a baby, her father had pneumonia and wasn’t expected to survive.

Mr. Cook was also on the York Central Hospital board of trustees and was chairperson when the $14-million Langstaff wing opened in 1974.

With so much service over the years and a keen interest in local politics, Mr. Bell reminisces he would regularly and gladly spend long stretches in conversation with Mr. Cook.

“I loved to speak with him about politics and the good old days. Sam had insight.

No matter what the issue was, he had been through it. He was a fascinating man to speak with,” added Mr. Bell.

Current Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Barrow has been asked to speak at Mr. Cook’s funeral and said the man had a volunteer spirit all residents can look up to.

“He was one of those guys who did so much, but kind of flew under the radar. He

did what he did for the right reasons and for the betterment of our community — not for medals or applause,” added Mr. Barrow.

Mr. Cook was born and raised in Ottawa, but moved to Richmond Hill with his wife, Betty, in 1951.

Mr. Cook is survived by his wife Betty of 61 years, their three children, nine grandchildren and two sisters.

Visitation is today at Marshall Funeral Home from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m.

National Drowning Prevention Week starts Monday From page 1.

program teaches Grade 7 students how to survive an unexpected fall into deep water while wearing clothes and teaches the basic skills to help a friend in deep water.

The idea for a teen-oriented program was mobilized by last year’s drownings in Stouffville. Sabrina Alibhai, 15, and Gift Diji, 16, were paddling in a dinghy on Musselman’s Lake when one of the girls, a weaker swimmer, apparently went into the water and her friend tried to save her.

“That incident really resonated with us,”

Ms Byers said. “A lot went wrong.”

Witnesses said the girls were not wearing life jackets, did not have proper boating equipment or training and were without supervision, a scenario Ms Byers said is common among teenagers.

A recent coroner’s report lists a disturbing number of similar incidents, from the young female immigrant, a non-swimmer, who drowned while swimming with friends at a public beach at night, to the 18-year-old male who ignored rough water signs at a provincial park and disappeared under the waves and the 19-year-old female who, though a strong swimmer, drowned after drinking on a boat.

Swim to Survive+ follows the 2010 Chief Coroner’s Drowning Review recommendation for advanced water safety programs before children reach high school.

Michael McGee, who teaches swimming in his backyard Aurora pool, thinks it’s a good idea.

“It’s an age where they’re influenced by friends, and spending time at cottages.”

Yorick Tong, aquatic supervisor in Whitchurch-Stouffville, thinks it’s a good idea.

“We want to reach kids before they start high school and start partying and going to friends at the cottage,” he said.

“The instinct, when a friend is in distress, is to go in after them, but they’re not prepared for what can happen. Even an adult is not as strong as they think, especially when someone’s panicking in the water and climb on you to get above water to breathe. It’s not like the rescues you see on TV.” A similar drowning prevention program, Swim to Survive, has been successful with Grade 3 students, he said and reduced drownings among children in that age group.

The Plus program would help older children with more realistic scenarios, including the experience of falling into water wearing clothes.

“It’s quite dramatic, the difference between wearing a jeans and hoodie versus a bathing

suit,” said Brook Beatty, aquatic co-ordinator at Vaughan’s Garnet A Williams Centre outdoor pool in Thornhill.

It’s a skill taught in the bronze swimming level, but is valuable to everyone, especially newcomers to Canada, said Ms Byers.

Immigrants often have different knowledge or experiences around issues of water safety and a family that isn’t comfortable with swimming may choose to simply avoid water, she said.

“That strategy may be effective (although not advisable) when kids are young, but not when they’re older ... There’s so much water in Ontario, it’s not possible to stay away, which is why you need to know what to do if someone gets into difficulty.”

Adrian Wong, Markham’s community recreation co-ordinator, said this summer’s warm weather and beckoning lakes can be deceptive because hypothermia can still occur in water that is 20 C. A 22-year-old man was taken to hospital with hypothermia after being rescued in Lake Ontario Sunday.

The challenge with any water safety program will be to get pre-teens to “buy in”, Mr. Wong said. “We need to find a way to market it or build a rapport with schools.”

Peer pressure is a big factor, agreed Stouffville lifeguard Aleena Dipede, 19, “but even if swimming is not your thing, it’s an important life skill”.

Michael McGee, who teaches swimming in his back yard Aurora pool agrees with a Coroner’s report calling for advanced water safety programs before children reach high school.

Local environmentalist continues creek cleanup

BY ADAM MC LEAN

amclean@yrmg.com

Its been another summer spent wading through weeds, water and waste, as Richmond Hill Naturalist Joe Agg continues to fight for the town’s creeks.

Unfortunately, the work of Mr. Agg and other volunteers is still needed, even after they cleaned areas of the German Mills Creek multiple times last year.

Spending most of his weekends in rubber boots and slogging around town-maintained greenways, the shores of German Mills Creek have become like a second home for Mr. Agg, a Richmond Hill naturalist, the past two summers.

Last year, he started cleaning the creek he used to play in as a child.

That year, his cleanup produced 380 large garbage bags of litter, 70 bags of recyclables, 27 shopping carts, seven bicycles, a barbecue, a can of kerosene, a suitcase and even snowmobile tracks.

Still, from Hwy. 7, travelling north to the creek’s headwaters, north of Gamble Road, you will typically find Mr. Agg, 70, on a Saturday or Sunday, accompanied by volunteers, cleaning the stream.

He and a team of about 20 volunteers spent Sunday collecting 26 garbage bags of litter and recycling found in and around the creek at Crosby Avenue.

Unfortunately, as he witnessed during last year’s cleanup, Mr. Agg describes the Crosby area of German Mills, as a dump site.

What ends up in the creek at Crosby isn’t simply a result of carelessness and wind. Much of what Mr. Agg found Sunday appeared to be deliberately dumped, he said.

“Crosby was a heavy day; one of the biggest we’ve had in a while,” Mr. Agg said.

“We could see that landscapers dump a lot of their twigs and brush into the creek and when you go down a little path from the road to the water, it looked like a landfill site. It’s sad,” he added.

He spent hundreds of volunteer hours at the creek, only for another 26 bags of litter to come out of an area he repeatedly cleaned last year.

Mr. Agg’s efforts and helping raise awareness for the health of local streams garnered the naturalist a volunteer recognition award from Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Barrow in December.

Despite the disappointment of the Crosby

discovery, Mr. Agg’s efforts appear to be paying off in some areas that appear cleaner than last year.

“I’m not sure if it’s our efforts or if more people are getting the message, but there has been improvement,” he added.

However, along with thousands of plastic bottles, Mr. Agg and volunteers have also recovered a shower chair, car seat, skis and even a chesterfield, from the creek, this summer.

Mr. Agg plans to tackle the creek at the it’s Canyon Hill Road crossing, northwest of Yonge and Elgin Mills Road, Saturday and plans to complete his annual German Mills cleanup, within three weeks.

He then plans to shift focus to other Richmond Hill creeks in need of a clean up, including the East Don and Rouge rivers.

Along with his physical effort, Mr. Agg said he’s also recently crafted a package, containing 40 suggestions, to combat the litter issue, which he will present to the town.

Step one, begins with garbage days, said Mr. Agg, particularly the windy garbage days.

While Mr. Agg is all for recycling, he’s not a fan of the current blue box set up, which can create litter, following spills on windy days.

Instead, Mr. Agg said he would like to see clear plastic bags used for recycling pick-up or blue bins equipped with caps.

Mr. Agg said he’s mentioned these solutions to the town and told blue box alternatives will have to wait until new curbside pick-up contract talks take place between the town and Miller Waste.

The current contract expires April 1, 2014.

With two more creeks to clean on his list, residents will likely see Mr. Agg and his team, cleaning up to and beyond that date.

Mr. Agg said residents and passers-by often take notice of his work and just last weekend, a residents dropped off a case of water for the group to thank them.

“That was really nice,” said Mr. Agg. “It’s nice that people appreciate our work, but this intentional dumping is something we need to change. It’s a way of thinking that we see each day and is not acceptable,” he added.

While he attracts many student volunteers, Mr. Agg said he is searching for some more adult volunteers.

About Concord Food Centre Behind our success lie tradition, quality, and freshness. The tradition began back in the 1930's when Joseph Greco who immigrated to Canada from Italy opened a fruit stand on the Danforth, in Toronto. His legacy for quality produce of the highest caliber became renowned and to this day remains the core of our philosophy. We only sell the freshest fruits and vegetables available.

His grandson, President and Produce Buyer, Joe Greco visits the Ontario Food Terminal four times a week to hand pick the produce, ensuring customers always have the freshest fruits and vegetables to choose from. The tradition continues, as Anthony Greco, joins his father and becomes the fourth generation to ensure the continuing success of the family business.

Should York Region’s chairperson be elected?

Markham council has said no.

Newmarket council determined an elected chairperson in the region is worth investigating.

You can join the discussion July 25 about a recently tabled bill that calls on the province to amend the Ontario Municipal Act and allow the York regional chairperson to be elected.

Organized by the volunteer-run Social Planning Council of York Region, the panel discussion will feature Richmond Hill MPP Reza Moridi, who introduced the bill, Community Development Council Durham manager Benjamin Earle and York University political science associate professor Robert MacDermid.

The meeting is 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Palisade Room of the Elgin West Community Centre, 11099 Bathurst St., Richmond Hill.

“Too hot, too dry, for too long”, was the cry of Environment Canada climatologist, Dave Phillips, yesterday, reflecting on this week’s weather.

As he predicted, Tuesday was Richmond Hill’s hottest day yet in what has been an already scorching summer.

The mercury climbed to a steamy 36.6C, Tuesday, eclipsing daily temperature records, in the process.

It was the sixth new daily record high for Richmond Hill in the past two months.

With added humidity, the air felt as if the temperature was well beyond 40C and Mr. Phillips said that with a minimum temperature online dropping to 21C, the daily average was 29.4C, Tuesday.

So far, Richmond Hill has experienced 18 days where temperatures have reached higher than 30C, compared to only seven of those days, this time last year.

“And last year was considered to

be a hot summer, too,” remarked Mr. Phillips.

While the extra hot days are uncomfortable, it’s the lack of rain in recent weeks that makes things seem ever hotter.

Mr. Phillips said the normal amount of precipitation for July at this point is more than 40 mm.

As of today, Richmond Hill had experienced only 22 mm of rain; 12 of which fell Sunday, with what Mr. Phillips called a “trace”, falling at 10 p.m., Tuesday..

“Sunday was a nice and neces-

sary drink of water, but the ground is concrete-like,” said Mr. Phillips.

“Of course, no one will say ‘no’ to rain at this point, but that 12 mm will have only a minimal impact and Tuesday’s trace was little more than a cruel tease,” he added with a laugh, saying that psychologically, a trace is often worse than nothing.

Environment Canada forecasts a 30 per cent chance of rain, Sunday, but Mr. Phillips isn’t too hopeful of anything significant.

“I wouldn’t even bring my umbrella. At this point I expect just

enough to keep the dust down, if anything”.

“It’s been a real downer, because often we can see thunder and lightning in the distance, but Richmond Hill experiences a dry thunderstorm,” added Mr. Phillips.

Temperatures are expected to hover around 30C for the rest of the week, when the seasonal average is 26C. Richmond Hill offers 11 outdoor splash pads and six community pools. Use of the splash pads is free.

THIS WEEK

Mark your calendars for two delicious events Mark your calendars for two delicious events this summer, one brand new and one an old favourite.

Richmond Hill’s first annual Ribfest will be held at Richmond Green Park July 27 to 29.

This three-day event will showcase professional rib teams from across North America as they cook and compete for various titles, determined by honorary judges.

In addition to the many delicious food options, there will also be live entertainment, a beer garden, a children’s fun zone and a midway to enjoy.

The food and fun, presented in part by The Liberal, will run July 27 from noon to 11 p.m.; July 28 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and July 29 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Also at Richmond Green Park Sunday, Aug. 26, the popular Tastes of the Hill will be held.

Instead of the traditional indoor venue at Richmond Green in October, this year’s event will be an outdoor multicultural festival celebrating the diverse cultures of Richmond Hill.

It will support local charities, as always, and feature live entertainment, an activity village for children and youth, host a variety of exhibits, but best of all, tantalizing food stations to enjoy dishes from all over the world.

Admission will be free.

To learn more about sponsorship opportunities, contact Regional Councillor Vito Spatafora at vspatafora@richmondhill.ca or call 905-7712517.

tation funding, Ms Lyons said.

“It’s about regional infrastructure ... It’s not a new subject,” she said. “You can live in York Region, but you might drive in to Hamilton every day. That’s how people travel.”

CAA has participated in the discussion for quite some time and will reach out to its 1.8 million members in south-central Ontario, Ms Lyons said.

“It’s part of an education process to inform our members, to educate them and get feedback from them about moving forward,” she said.

The campaign will kick off in the fall and invite people to share why transportation is important to them and what they are willing to do about it.

Everyone in the Golden Horseshoe area is Ad Size : 5.145 in x 3.062 in invited to take part in the discussion.

Sam leaves behind his bride of 61 years, Mary Elizabeth (Betty) Smith, his three "productions" Vickery Bowles (Wayne), Andrew Cook (Susan) and Alison Tkachuk (Corey); his adoring grandchildren, Lauren, Connor, Madelyn, Georgia, Matthew, Mackenzie, Andrew, Samantha and Aimee; his loving sisters, Catherine Robertson and Mitford Fowler; his many nieces and nephews; and his special friends and in-laws, the late Leigh Robertson, the late William Fowler, Harry and Alverna Hill and Bruce and Eleanor Lloyd.

Born on October 26, 1924, Sam was raised in Ottawa, the only son of Ethel Beatrice and Walter Samuel Cook. Sam's life-long passion for politics and community building began when he was elected President of the Canadian University Liberal Federation. In that capacity, he marched in the funeral procession for Prime Minister Mackenzie King.

Sam's marriage to Betty led him to Richmond Hill where he began his service to the community by joining the staff of the weekly newspaper, The Liberal, where he eventually became editor and publisher. His imprint on the Town of Richmond Hill is also marked by his 40 years of service on the Hydro Commission, most of those years as Chair. He was a long-term member of York Central Hospital's Board of Trustees, where he was Chair during the opening of the Langstaff Wing in 1975. His natural entrepreneurial spirit motivated him to purchase Peel Graphics, a commercial printing company, where in future years he worked side by side with son Andrew. Sam's indomitable spirit, his genuine enthusiasm for life, his natural curiosity and his keen interest in and compassion for his fellow man endeared him to many. He will be missed more than words can say.

Visitation is taking place Thursday, July 19, 2012 at Marshall Funeral Home from 2-4 p.m and 7-9 p.m. in Richmond Hill (www.marshallfuneralhome.com).

A service is being held on Friday, July 20, 2012 at Richmond Hill United Church at 11 a.m. Cremation and interment will occur on a later date at Elgin Mills Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to Richmond Hill United Church (www.rhuc.org/) or Hill House Hospice (www.hillhousehospice.com) would be appreciated.

The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Dwosh and the ICU staff at York Central Hospital for their compassionate care.
