Teacher deal about putting students first: Del Duca Have your say
By Adam Martin-Robbins
amartinrobbins@yemg.com
LORENZO CATUZZA
Liberal candidate Steven Del Duca and Education Minister Laurel Broten met with parents at a cupcake shop in Woodbridge last Saturday.
The province is ramping up its battle with teachers, recalling the Legislature Monday in a bid to pass a bill freezing their wages. But local Liberal byelection candidate Steven Del Duca doesn’t think the government’s tough stance with educators will hurt him when voters go to the polls Sept 6. “Teachers … understand the concept of shared sacrifice, so I’m not concerned because I have great deal of faith in teachers and I have a great deal of faith in the impact that they have here in Vaughan and across York Region. They understand what the goals and objectives are here — it’s why they’re teachers. It’s about putting students first.” In fact, he’s so confident it won’t harm his chances of being elected, his campaign team brought Education Minister Laurel Broten to Vaughan to meet with local parents at a cupcake shop Saturday morning. That meeting came just days after Ms Broten unveiled legislation to freeze teachers’ wages for two years and short-circuit strikes or lockouts to keep kids in the classroom. “What we are asking our teachers in this province is to help us put our students first, to take a pause,” Ms Broten said. “We cannot afford teacher pay increases this year. We want those dollars in our classrooms. We want to preserve jobs. We want to keep full-day kindergarten. We want to keep our class-sizes small so that our teachers have time with our students.” The move to freeze wages is part of the Liberals’ strategy to chip away at the province’s $15-billion deficit. The proposed bill is modelled on a deal reached last month with the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association, which agreed to a freeze, three unpaid days off and to eliminate the banking of sick days that gave teachers payouts when they retire. The province is calling on school boards and teachers’ unions to reach deals by Sept. 1 to avoid $473 million in teacher pay raises that would automatically take effect next month. But if the raises go through and banking of sick days continues, they will be clawed back under the legislation, provided the minority Liberals can get the support of the NDP or Progressive Conservatives. So far, neither opposition party has said if it will support the bill. Ms Broten hopes every MPP recognizes students and parents are “counting on them”. “I hope that they’ll look at this legislation,” she said. “I think it’s thoughtful; it’s balanced. It gives us the tools that we need to make to make sure that school will start, be uninterrupted and that we can continue to build the
4What do you think of this issue? E-mail Kim Champion at kchampion@yrmg.com quality public education system that we have here in the province.” The teachers unions don’t see it that way and are calling the legislation a bullying tactic. NDP leader Andrea Horwath and others, meanwhile, have said it is little more than an attempt to strong-arm teachers and school boards while playing to anti-teacher sentiment among voters in Sept. 6 byelections in Vaughan and Kitchener-Waterloo. “It’s always about the government manoeuvring in their own interest,” Ms Horwath said. The Liberals would have a de facto majority if they win both byelections. KitchenerWaterloo was a Progressive Conservative riding for more than two decades under former MPP Elizabeth Witmer, while Liberal Greg Sorbara long held the Vaughan riding. Vaughan Progressive Conservative candidate Tony Genco believes his campaign is benefitting from the Liberals’ decision to take a hard line with teachers. Teachers he has encountered on the campaign trail are frustrated with the Liberal government and he said he expects many of them won’t vote for Mr. Del Duca. “I do think it’s going to have a negative impact on (the Liberal) campaign,” he said. “At the very least, many teachers will stay home and not vote. Many teachers will vote with us and many teachers will choose another way to protest the way they’ve been treated by this government, when they should be treating all public servants equally.” The Tories have called on the province to impose broader public sector wage freezes. “What we’re having now is certain public servants having raises and other public servants being told to cut back,” he said. “For us, it’s a question of fairness. We should all be sharing the burden of responsibility with respect to the cuts and we shouldn’t be levelling it only on one side.” NDP candidate Paul Donofrio called the government’s proposed legislation a “reckless stunt” that puts “winning seats in the Legislature ahead of what’s best for our children and their education”. “It’s unfortunate that the premier has chosen to play the same-old game of divisive politics that grabs headlines and quick votes,” Mr. Donofrio said. “He’s not fooling voters in Vaughan or anywhere else with his simplistic scheme to try and win back a majority.”?Mr. Donofrio said the bill, if passed, will likely be overturned by the courts.

Wayne Nugent coached thousands of high school athletes in Vaughan and Stouffville during his teaching career.
Nugent, 71, taught, coached thousands in Vaughan By Jim Mason
jmason@yrmg.com
They’re remembering The Nuge in Stouffville and Woodbridge. Wayne Nugent, who taught and coached thousands of high school students in both York Region communities, died Monday. His funeral service will be held in Markham Friday. He was 71. The native of Quebec, who coached and taught at Stouffville District Secondary School from 1976 to 1982, retired in 2007 from a 42-year teaching career. His last post was at Woodbridge College, where a basketball tournament was named for him. He had been taking chemotherapy treatments for advanced bone marrow cancer at the time of his retirement. The former Stouffville resident was Whitchurch-Stouffville’s sports person of the year in 2007. Mr. Nugent was a charter member of the Stouffville Buttermakers slo-pitch team, whose Canada Day weekend tournament during the 1980s spawned the popular Strawberry Festival. He also refereed hockey in Stouffville. Mr. Nugent was pursuing a career in professional baseball — rising to the double-A level as a pitcher in the Atlanta Braves organization — before a shoulder injury forced him to change paths. He also played football and hockey so with teaching already in the back of his mind, a career in physical education became a natural
choice. Whitchurch-Stouffville Mayor Wayne Emmerson knew Mr. Nugent as a good friend and Buttermakers’ teammate. “Nuge was a team guy,” Mr. Emmerson said today. “He fought the battle of cancer because he loved life and his family. During our Buttermakers era, we had some great times together.”

His last post was at Woodbridge College, where a basketball tournament was named for him. “Nuge was always giving back to people and loved working with kids and getting the best out of them. I believe he was like a father figure to them. He was well respected in our town and known all over by many people and a friend to all.” He is survived by his daughters, Christina Baggs, Karen Beam and Charlene Rytwinski, grandchildren Andrew, Taylor, Haleigh, Cassia, Brooke and Brandon, his mother, Eileen, and sister, Anne Jones. Visitation will be held Thursday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. at Dixon-Garland Funeral Home in downtown Markham. A service will be held in the home’s chapel Friday at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family.

Neighbours examine a home that burned on Fermar Drive in Vaughan Tuesday morning.
Blaze, gas leak keeps firefighters busy Vaughan’s fire crews were busy Tuesday fighting with a fire and a gas leak at two locations. Crews were dispatched to a garage fire at 60 Fermar Drive, in the Keele Street and Teston Road area, after flames were seen “coming out of the windows like a blowtorch” and extending into the main and second floors at 3:45 a.m.. The fire was upgraded to a two-alarm blaze, deputy fire chief Gary Fraser said, add-
ing damage is estimated at $200,000. “The family were awoken by the smell of something burning and smoke alarms were working,” he said. At about 12:30 p.m. two fire trucks were sent to a gas leak on Ansley Grove Road in Woodbridge. Two homes were evacuated as a precaution after a section of the road was closed for more than two hours. — Jeremy Grimaldi
We love our kids. And their teachers. It’s just that right now taxpayers can’t afford to raise their salaries. The NDP won’t stand up to unions.

Vaughan Citizen, Thursday, Aug. 23, 2012, 12
Candidates under microscope The Citizen has asked the two perceived frontrunners in the Sept. 6 byelection — Liberal candidate Steven Del Duca and Progressive Conservative candidate Tony Genco —to answer political and personal questions to give you some insight into where they stand on key issues and what they are like as people. We will run answers from each candidate in the next five issues of The Citizen and online at www.yorkregion.com.
Q: Where do you stand on using road tolls as a tool to ease congestion? ‘I think the most responsible thing that we can do right now is wait and see what is in (the) plan that Metrolinx comes out with, take a look at it, kick those tires and figure out how we best go forward. I’ll tell you what, there is no single magic bullet to this solution.
Have your say 4Tell us what you think of the candidates responses by visiting our website at yorkregion.com and posting a comment under this story or you can e-mail editor Kim Champion at kchampion@yrmg.com.

‘Tolls would be something we would look at in the context of need and whether or not we could afford it (a highway) … Personally, I would prefer not to toll anything. If we had to go there, I would prefer tolling to be sunsetted to the time the highway was paid off. I wouldn’t want to toll any roads that exist now.’

Cupcakes’ popularity continues to increase By Adam Martin-Robbins
amartinrobbins@yrmg.com
The cupcake craze that swept across North America more than a decade ago is still going strong. At least three new specialty cupcake shops have popped up in Vaughan in the past six months, with another to open this fall. Suzanne Cooper, owner of The Cupcake Shoppe in Toronto for nearly a decade, launched a second location in Vaughan, at 9340 Bathurst St., last month. “The decision to open up (here) was because we seemed to have a lot of people requesting different locations somewhere up north,” Ms Cooper said. Ms Cooper used to bring cupcakes home to Thornhill from her store for several years so customers living north of the city could pick them up at her house. “If I’m going to be bringing them up north all the time, I might as well (open a store),” she said. Rosa Cirillo, owner of Oh So Sweet, also opened a storefront location, at 8099 Weston Rd., last month. That decision came after operating the business out of her Woodbridge home for five years.
Ms Cirillo was on maternity leave and decided to start a business throwing birthday parties where children learn to bake nutfree products. And business is booming. People clamour for her nut-free cupcakes and other goodies. At the time, there were only a handful of specialty cupcake shops in the city, she said. With demand continuing to rise, she outgrew the space in her home and decided it was time to open a storefront location. Crissy De Masi, owner of Lavish Cupcakes, has a similar story. Seven years ago, she was baking cupcakes at home with her children. Her daughter insisted they sell them, but Ms De Masi was reluctant. After much pleading, Ms De Masi relented and posted them for sale on Facebook. Two hours later, she had 63 hits. Two days later, the number of hits had climbed to 107 and she had four orders. “I’ve never had a break since,” she said. Two years later, Ms De Masi opened a store, at 8611 Weston Rd., specializing in cupcakes and other

sweet treats. Lavish was one of the first with a storefront in the city, but now they’re everywhere, she said. “It’s competitive,” Ms De Masi said. “Even places that don’t normally do cupcakes will start bringing them in because they see how big it is.” With all the competition, shops must find a way to set itself apart. At The Cupcake Shoppe where there are 28 flavours bearing quirky names such as Berry White and Curious George, Ms Cooper emphasizes that all the cupcakes are nut-free and designed by “artists” who are also bakers. She pumps up the high quality of the ingredients used. “Everything is baked fresh with the finest ingredients, as if you did them homemade,” she said. Ms Cirillo boosts the fact her cupcakes are nut-free and made using top-quality ingredients. “Everything I make is from scratch, not mixes,” she said. At Lavish, the primary focus is on intricate designs and the vast array of flavours, from maple bacon to lychee martini. “We don’t do your typical cupcakes, which makes us stand out,” Ms De Masi said.

Suzanne Cooper, owner of The Cupcake Shoppe at 9340 Bathurst St., looks on as head baker Lisa Biemans puts some flour in the mixer. Of course, the cupcakes sold at these specialty shops don’t come cheaply. Prices range from about $2.75 for a fairly basic cupcake, up to $5 for one with an elaborate design. But that isn’t stopping people from scooping them up by the dozen, even in these lean finan-
cial times. The cupcake trend started more than a decade ago in the United States. Many attribute its beginning to hit TV show Sex and the City, which featured an episode where two of the female lead characters chatted while devouring cupcakes.

York Regional Police need your help identifying a woman in connection to a fraud case in Vaughan earlier this year. May 26 at about 1 p.m., a woman went to a financial institution on Marycroft Avenue near Hwy. 7, impersonated another person and requested a replacement debit card. The woman presented replica copies of the victim’s identification and was issued the replacement card, police said. The card was used at an ATM
to withdraw money from the account. Police believe the culprit may be involved in similar crimes across the GTA. The woman is Caucasian with long brown hair and a heavy build. She was last seen wearing a grey long-sleeve shirt and blue jeans. If you have information, call police at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7541 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS, leave an anonymous tip at 1800222tips.com or text YORK and your tip to CRIMES (274637).
Four Vaughan companies have been convicted and fined $1.1 million under the province’s Environmental Protection Act for a 2004 fire. The companies were sentenced Monday for causing serious effects on area residents at a waste disposal fire. Court heard the fire burned for more than two weeks, sending large plumes of smoke into the atmosphere. The companies, which operated on the site, had stored more

The companies have 60 days to pay the fine. This is the second time the companies have been convicted for negligence in the Vaughan fire. In 2008, the companies and three men were convicted and fined $1.7 million, but successfully appealed the decision. A new trial began in 2010 and ended Monday with the verdict.

His cousin, iconic folk singer Hedy West, famously penned the music and lyrics to 500 Miles. His mother’s family hails from Union County, Georgia, where Deliverance was filmed. Many locals were offended by how the movie stereotyped mountain folk, Mr. Frey said in his economical manner. “But, then again, there was a lot of inbreeding,” he added with wry timing and a smile. This affable man was heavily influenced by his parents. His father, a trained sniper who served in the United States Army in the Korean War, gave him his first bow and arrow and a .22 rifle. Despite working 60-hour weeks, his dad made time, serving as his son’s cub and scout master and teaching him marksmanship, hunting and an appreciation for nature. His mother instilled a sense of pride in his heritage. Her family settled in rural Georgia in 1732, speaking Elizabethan English until residents opened their communities to the world in 1952. “The moonshiners are still there,” he said. “Most, though, have
been replaced by pot growers.” He recalled the moment when his love of archery was forged. He was trying to rid the family chicken coop of rats. His childsized arrow bounced off the rodent. It reared up and hissed. He needed more firepower. He wanted a Fred Bean brand 37-pound bow with 26-inch draw, he said. It cost $35. “I worked bailing hay until I earned the money, went to the store and put it on the counter,” he said. “The clerk said there would be 4 per cent Michigan sales tax. My dad paid the extra and that’s when I was first at cross purposes with my government.” The kid and his new weapon returned to the coop. “I pinned that rat to the floorboards,” he said. The Vietnam War raged during his teenage years. Young men were being conscripted into service. Mr. Frey was a conscientious objector. He moved to Canada, working for Toronto “slum landlords” at $1 an hour when minimum wage was $2. See page 19.

With the 1975 fall of Saigon, the war ended, as did the U.S. government’s hunt for draft dodgers. Mr. Frey is proud of his legal landed immigrant status. “They won’t let me vote, but I’m allowed to pay taxes,” he said. He studied electrical contracting and was offered a job with a firm specializing in opening bank vaults that were broken, faulty or for which the combinations had been forgotten. Eventually, he bought the business. “I cracked safes,” he said with a grin. “People always asked if that was a day or night job.” He met and married Donna, a ballet teacher from Montreal. They raised two daughters, Kathryn, a teacher in Belgium, and Morgan, who teaches choreography despite having two prosthetic legs and one hand. The family moved to Aurora in mid 1990s. Although Mr. Frey sold the vault repair company, the two men he trained continue to win vault opening competitions. A reformed smoker, he paints water colours to keep his

hands busy. He is growing gourmet shiitake mushrooms in his garden and still plays guitar, as his ancestors did as entertainment. A purple belt, he assists his sensei at the Northern Karate School dojo in Aurora. He also teaches at Toronto Waldorf School in Thornhill. Archery, however, remains his passion. With properties in Claremont and Coboconk, he hunts bear and deer in season, often teaching archery history and skills at York County Bowmen Club. He researches ancient bows, proudly displaying a 200-yearold Chinese weapon crafted from water buffalo hide, ox sinew and wood.
He crafts his own bows, using primitive methods, exotic woods and parts of animals he has hunted. His collection includes flat, long and recurve bows. He constructs the quivers that carry his arrows, many styled by hand, save some store-bought shafts. He is not a trophy hunter, he said. He complies with provincial laws requiring steel tip arrows for clean kills. Each part of the downed prey is used for its meat and hide. What he can’t freeze and store, he shares with locals at his hunt camps. He hunts ethically, foregoing high powered rifles, accurate from 800 yards. He stalks with bow and arrow, drawing on skill and a bow string, often close enough to allow a black bear to run him down should his shot be off. He regales with tales from the deep woods of angry bears climbing trees in an attempt to make him the meal. A follower of Zen philosophy, he has a reverence for nature. For 5,000 years, people hunted to survive. Crafting and using archery weapons is an ancient art and

He carries on the tradition. “If you can kill an animal without great elation or remorse, it’s a good kill,” he said. “I always have a bit of remorse, but I am grateful for the gift.” The hunt is not all about killing, he said. There’s an ethereal and
mystic quality about nature, being in a forest before dawn, listening to the woods wake, coming to life. There’s also a bond between the purist and his bow. “It’s the magic of letting the arrow loose and watching it fly to its target,” he said. “Everyone should give it a shot. No pun intended.”

Saturday’s controversial AlQuds rally at Queen’s Park appears to have proceeded without major incident, witnesses say. The annual global event, launched 33 years ago by the late Ayatollah Khomeini to commemorate the end of Ramadan and push for Palestinian rights, attracted a large, sometimes volatile crowd representing pro and anti-Israel sentiments. Toronto police say tensions ran high, but aside from one assault involving a man with a large dog wearing an Israeli flag, the demonstration was violence-free. Local MPPs and Jewish groups had attempted, unsuccessfully, to prevent the gathering on legislative grounds because they say it gave voice to racist messages. Toronto police Const. Victor Kwong reported one arrest Saturday under the Trespass to Property Act, but the man who was arrested was later released. A man with a bull mastiff with an Israeli flag tied around its neck was identified by police as a “flashpoint” after he waded into the demonstration and started a fight with someone. “He shoved an elderly gentle-
league involved provocation, swearing and insults, sometimes directed at children, he said. “They were actually quite nasty.” The event appeared more controlled this year, possibly because of the public controversy in the days leading up to the rally, said Avi Benlolo president and chief executive officer of Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies. The group raised concerns about what it called anti-Zionist hate speech at last year’s event. Participants were advised before the march not to display Hezbollah flags at Queen’s Park — something they did last year — because it represents a group identified in Canada as a terrorist organization.

descent, was “fantastic” for speaking out against it as an inaccurate representation of most Iranian Canadians. The Liberal MPP said he heard concerns from his constituents last week and brought them, along with his own concerns, to the attention of the Speaker of the House Dave Levac. Progressive Conservative MP Peter Kent and MPP Peter Shurman also condemned the rally. Mr. Levac decided Friday to allow the event to go ahead on the basis of citizens’ right to assemble and exercise freedom of speech, with the provision they refrain from promoting hatred, discrimination or violence. Zafar Bangash, an imam and head of the Islamic Society of York Region, addressed the crowd again this year, saying the pre-rally controversy generated publicity that led to a greater turnout Saturday. He said participants included Holocaust survivors, rabbis, those who were on the Canadian boat to Gaza and representatives from Independent Jewish Voices. “If those people stand with us, it means we are absolutely on the right track,” he said, adding quotes from Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela and Jimmy Carter lending support for Palestinian rights.

A makeshift memorial was set up at the site where a Georgina teenager died last weekend after being killed in a hit-and-run. A 27-year-old man faces several charges in her death.
Memorial to teenager continues to grow By Heidi Riedner
hriedner@yrmg.com
A memorial continues to grow on the site of a hit-and-run accident that killed a Sutton teenager Saturday night and left a community in mourning. Flowers, pictures of kittens, teddy bears, a Blue Jays cap and stone markers signed by many friends and mourners are just some of the items placed in memory of Shannon Smith, who died just shy of her 17th birthday after being struck by a black pick-up truck Aug. 18. “Got your back forever Shans, love and miss you. RIP,” reads one message scrawled by Kayla on a stone marker laid amidst the flowers and other tributes. “Love you so much lil cous .... RIP,” reads another from Kristi. Many hand-drawn hearts surround the heartfelt messages. “This was not your time. You will be missed forever. You are in our hearts,” says another. Friend Tyler Blazys, 17, stares in disbelief at the makeshift shrine created in the past few days along a stone verandah wall at the Dalton Road home of Shannon’s boyfriend, Ryan Charles, where the accident happened. He is still unable to fully grasp that he will never see his long-time friend and fellow Our Lady of the Lake CHS classmate ever again. “I just can’t believe it,” he says. “She was such a quiet girl who never did anything wrong to anybody.” Witnesses report seeing a black pick-up truck peeling out of the No Frills parking lot Saturday, veering from side to side, before jumping the curb and striking Miss Smith on the other side of Dalton Road while she waited outside her boyfriend’s home for her mother to pick her up. “The truck just kept going,” says Mr. Blazys softly. “It didn’t even stop.” According to Mr. Blazys, Shannon’s boyfriend tried to grab her arm to pull her out of
the truck’s path and to safety, but to no avail. While Mr. Charles knelt over his girlfriend’s body, Mr Blazys says friends at the scene quickly went in to pursuit and chased down the truck, obtaining a licence plate number. Police say a black 2004 Dodge Ram pickup truck was being driven erratically south on Dalton Road near Black River Road Saturday at about 11 p.m. They are still investigating why the truck crossed the road. For many people in the community like Mr. Blazys, the overwhelming shock and grief over the tragedy is almost too much to put into words. “Too young, too soon”, another message written in memory of Shannon, is a message that hits home in Georgina. Miss Smith is the fourth teenager to die in the past three months leaving the area’s youth reeling with grief and the ultimate question of “why?” Elisha Laker is the executive director of Family Services York Region, an organization that provides counselling for people of all ages experiencing personal and behavioral difficulties, stressful life situations and relationship distress. He says tragedy is difficult for anyone to deal with, but particularly teenagers, who feel deeply beneath their perceived tough exteriors. “Often, people don’t see how vulnerable teens can be,” he says. He adds the death of a peer can be particularly hard to deal with since a teenager’s circle of friends is what most teens hold in the highest regard in their life and what their lives revolve around. “The loss of a peer, but also the support of their peer group, is huge,” he says, adding teens need to talk about what happened in a meaningful way and can benefit from guided discussions that help them talk about what they are feeling.

Flower pots aren’t ashtrays: region By Sandra Bolan
sbolan@yrmg.com
Flower pot fires are increasing across the province. In WhitchurchStouffville, there has been one such fire so far this summer. It took place mid-July on Grandwood Avenue in southern Stouffville. A person was smoking and extinguished the cigarette in a flower pot on the wooden back deck. The pot burned and damaged the deck,
according to Whitchurch-Stouffville Fire Chief Rob McKenzie. The person put the fire out before the fire department arrived. However, the incident did cause a couple of hundred dollars worth of damage, according to Mr. McKenzie. The pots contain a mix of peat moss, shredded wood and bark that can easily ignite. “Because it’s been so dry, they don’t realize it smolders in there ...
and then suddenly it will combust,” said Jennifer Cooper, fire prevention officer for the WhitchurchStouffville department. Some safety tips provided by the fire department include not using planters/flower pots as ashtrays; providing proper ashtrays or noncombustible containers filled with sand; not using combustible planters/flower pots and not putting the pots close to other combustible materials.

Hungarian cookout goes back to basics BY JEREMY GRIMALDI
jgrimaldi@yrmg.com
STAFF PHOTO/JEREMY GRIMALDI
Cookouts have been part of Hungarian culture for centuries. Meats, fish and vegetables play a part in the majestic feasts.
There is nothing quite like taking it back to the old school — by that I mean the real old school, so old school that you could almost call it medieval. I’m referring to cooking outdoors, as many of our forefathers did, over an open flame. Ideally, in this case, it should be done near a river, beside a lake, underneath a tree or close to a forest. If all of this natural luxury is not available, a back yard will do. It also helps to be surrounded by your closest friends and relatives with plenty of booze handy, to help everyone appropriately grasp and delve into the old-fashionedness of the event. This custom is almost unheard of in Canada, but in Hungary and much of Eastern Europe, the tradition of cooking outdoors remains common. On a number of occasions, I have partaken in these bogracs on previous occasions and it has remained in my consciousness ever since. When I called Ferenc Sarkozy, owner and head chef of Rhapsody Hungarian Restaurant, he laughed heartily — reminiscing about olden days in front of the cauldron the Magyar still use to make their goulash soup. “We used to do this all the time,” he said. “Now, my kid would look at me like I’m crazy if I asked him/her to do this or eat Goulash cooked in this way. He is Canadianized and likes burgers and hot dogs on a barbecue. Even so, I still go out with my brother and closest friends once in a while, but not nearly enough.” For him, cooking outside is not only a great way to be surrounded by your friends, but also a much more interesting way to cook. “When you cook inside, you know exactly what’s going into your food,” he said. “It’s when you get outside that your really feel free and that things change and you create new things. “The recipe can change with the wind. It provides the freedom of choice.” For Mr. Sakozy, the tradition started in his early teens at his cottage in Velence, Balaton, one of the small villages surrounding the Hungary’s most popular lake region. “Back in the day before I was a chef, at about 14, that’s what we loved to do,” the 38-year-old Vaughan resident said. “My dad and I would go fishing, catch and clean the fish and cook it all up, whether we barbecued it, made fish soup, fish stew, bean goulash or goulash.” According to Mr. Sarkozy, any good day out starts with some traditional peach palinka, Hungarian for peach snaps. After that gets the “blood flowing”, the next step is to build a small fire surrounded by round stones. The the soup, as any should, begins with olive oil and three large onions. Once the onions are sufficiently sautéed, three wooden spoons of dry Hungarian paprika, along with some salt and pepper, should be added. Next comes about two pounds of chopped cubes of beef, three white Hungarian paprika peppers, two tomatoes and two cups of water. The next step must be undertaken with caution, bearing in mind the amount of palinka or flavoured vodka your friends have already ingested.

Although there is only one man (always a man in Hungary) who holds the spoon, taste the soup’s preparedness, controls the ingredients and keep the wolves from the door, there can be many vegetable choppers. Those interested and capable should be recruited to chop up an entire celery and three large carrots. Each should be congratulated with more palinka, according to Mr. Sarkozy. After 30 minutes of cooking, add 1-1/2 litres of water. Next, slow cook a cup of red wine, preferably Hungarian “bull’s blood”, and added to the stew. The rest is immediately consumed around the fire. Those still able are to cut five large potatoes into cubes. If you want your stew spicy, a spoonful of chilly paprika can be added. After about one more hour of cooking and testing the meat for preparedness, the stew is ready to serve along with a big loaf of white crusty bread and more wine. When you’re done the mouthwatering stew and all the alcohol in your belly has been soaked up, it is time once again to start drinking and making the ritual post-meal snack, called szalonnasütés, or bacon roasting. For this, a number of sticks are gathered and the tips sharpened to pierce thick bacon slices and a peeled onion. The drippings from this concoction are caught with bread. Once the bacon is slow roasted, it is sliced, placed onto the bread and, if done right, very heartily savored. Please enjoy responsibly and obey all local bylaws, where applicable. Jó étvágyat (Hungarian for bon appetit)!

Ah, back-to-school commercials (sigh). They are a reminder to make the most of barbecuing weather while it lasts. But who wants to cook up the same old fare? Instead, you could create a South African Braai for your guests. Or, serve Kashmiri-style barbecued lamb, chicken and beef. Maybe an Indo-Malay-inspired dish?
The South African Braai “Braai”, an Afrikaans word (pronounced B-rye) meaning “barbecue” or “grill”, is a social custom in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho, Zimbabwe and Zambia. The word is also used by English-speaking South Africans. At a braai, you almost always eat a seasoned, traditional sausage made from minced or pounded meat, called boerevors and usually steak and lamb chops. The boerevors can be beef, chicken or lamb. The trick to making borevors is in the spicing, said Diana Meyer, of Eat Sum More, a Thornhill store that sells South African goods. Go to biltongmakers.com for borevors recipes that include different combinations of spices. Corn meal, known as Mielie pap, is often served at a braai. It’s ground, dry corn, mixed with water before cooking — a staple of the South African palate, Ms Meyer said. Mielie pap is often served with tomato and onion gravy. The Canadian barbecues to which Ms Meyer attends are mainly hosted by native South Africans serving a mix of South African and Canadian fare, so it’s common to find hot dogs, hamburgers and boerevors sharing space on the grill. Everything you need for an authentic South African braai is available in Canada, Ms Meyer said. Ten years ago or more, you really had to hunt for South African goods, such as chutney, a hot or sweet pasty type of sauce. Ms Meyer’s best words of advice: Be careful when cooking the boerevors that you don’t overcook the meat. Turn it over in one motion. Do not prick it with a fork or all the juice will come out. You can enjoy boerevors year-round if you cook it in a pan. Of course nothing beats the real thing – it’s best when cooked on a barbecue, she said. Kashmiri Barbecue Ahmed Sohail’s business Kashmiri BBQ sells Kashmiri-style barbecued lamb, chicken and beef. The company travels the festival circuit in summer, from Lake Simcoe to Lake Ontario, going to Newmarket, Aurora and Toronto and acting as a vendor at these events.
THRILL THE
GRILL A seven-part series on the art of barbecuing
According to the Kashmiri-style of cooking Mr. Sohail enjoys, meat is placed on skewers. He uses seven spices, including coriander, cumin, nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, saffron and capsicum leaves. Sprinkle the spices on when the meat is cooking, he said. Mr. Sohail barbecues on charcoal, not gas because this makes the meat more tender and gives it more flavour. Mr. Sohail, who lives in East Gwillimbury, grew up in Pakistan and came to Canada about 30 years ago. When he came to Canada, he found mainly gas grills, which produce too much smoke for his liking, so he made his own. Mr. Sohail created his own grill because he knows lots of people do not want smoky meat. “With my style of barbecue, we don’t need smoke,” he said. Only heat from the barbecue is needed, he added. He also uses a smaller skewer, rather than a more than two-foot-long skewer used at an authentic Kashmiri barbecue. No one wants a two-foot long skewer, he said. Mr. Sohail’s advice to others trying a Kashmiri-style of barbecuing is to ensure certain spices aren’t burned on the grill, since it can ruin the taste of the meat. For example, you shouldn’t burn sugar because the taste changes. Mr. Sohail showcased his food at the Strawberry Festival in Stouffville this summer. He believes people have no choice but to buy his meat. “The smell gets people,” he said. “It has such a particular taste, they can’t resist having it”. Kashmiri BBQ (kashmiribbq@ live.com) is a Markham business.
Indo-Malay, Mexican and more... Mandy Sou, an aspiring chef, develops recipes for Tacocats, a group of budding entrepreneurs who create and serve Asian inspired tacos.
Tacocats made last month’s Night it Up! Asian night market in Markham its first event. Ms Sou created a grilled chicken satay taco, which is an indo-Malaystyle street food, for the event. Chicken skewers are an appealing memory for her. She remembers seeing these skewers served in Hong Kong restaurants, often with rice and cubes of fresh cucumbers. Her concoction involves putting chicken satay in a taco with satay sauce and coconut sticky rice. Most people at the event responded well to the taco creation, she said. People liked the coconut rice and the spices the chicken is marinated in. For future events, she is hoping to make grilled pork belly marinated with fish sauce, using Vietnamese-style grilling to which her grandmother introduced her growing up. “Barbecuing gives this taste a pan cannot give. The chargrilled flavour. It is different,” she said. Ms Sou enjoys eating food made using a Japanese bincho grill, too. This style of traditional Japanese charcoal grilling refers to using a particular type of coal and a particular kind of wood. She enjoys eating this type of food because of the unique flavour from the coal.

An Ontario Municipal Board hearing is under way to determine the fate of the David Dunlap Land in Richmond Hill.
Light pollution affects observatory work: scientist By Adam Mc Lean
amclean@yrmg.com
Former David Dunlap Observatory astronomer Dr. Tom Bolton gave his professional opinion Friday on the usefulness of the heritage telescope in the face of development. During Ontario Municipal Board hearings last week, as witness for the Richmond Hill Naturalists, Dr. Bolton was asked by DDO Defenders Inc. lawyer Jason Cherniak if he had a pessimistic outlook of the site, after the astronomer said he doesn’t expect the town to enforce restrictions agreed to within a mediated land settlement that has been rejected by the Naturalists. “What you call being a pessimist; I call being a realist,” said Dr. Bolton, during cross examination, Friday afternoon, the last of five witnesses called by the Naturalists over the past two weeks of hearings. Dr. Bolton testified that the observatory is best used as a research facility in public hands and that proposed developments and resulting light pollution to the east and north of the observatory dome would seriously hamper any research capability. If the observatory is to be used simply in a hobbyist or educational capacity, new development wouldn’t matter. “If it’s recreational; you can put streetlights right up to the dome’s front door,” he added. Dr. Bolton was instrumental in helping
the town establish its light pollution bylaw in 1995. Increased housing development in Richmond Hill over the years ignited the argument of whether or not the observatory telescope was still able to do meaningful, relevant work. When the observatory was closed and sold by the University of Toronto in 2008, that same year observatory staff produced a dozen study papers from their research. “It was still useful for scientific purposes then and it still is today,” said Dr. Bolton, who added that the night sky over Richmond Hill is actually darker today than it was during the 1990s. Dr. Bolton said he would also like to see any property that remains undeveloped to act as a passive park space. “It was always considered a park,” said the scientist, who discovered the first black hole using the Richmond Hill telescope in 1974. Today is an off-day for the hearing, but it is expected to resume Tuesday, when landowner Corsica begins calling witnesses. It’s expected that five witnesses will testify on Corsica’s behalf, including architectural consultant Michael McClelland and urban planner Lindsay Dale-Harris. The hearing is to last until at least Sept. 5, after two additional hearing dates were approved by hearing chairperson Karlene Hussey, Friday morning.

York Region United Way aims for new record Charity announces $8.26M goal for 2012 By Teresa Latchford
tlatchford@yrmg.com
United Way York Region aims to set a new fundraising record in this year’s campaign. Forty teams gathered around the stage at the annual Toromont CAT Dragon Boat Festival at Seneca College’s King Campus today as United Way CEO Daniele Zanotti announced the organization’s $8.26-million fundraising goal, accompanied by tambourines and vuvuzelas. The crowd cheered, anticipating the start of the festival that pushes York Region’s business community to cross the finish line in support of the organization. The annual event has kicked off the United Way’s fundraising campaign for close to a decade. Last year’s campaign raised a record $8.18 million. “With an economy still so fragile and more people knocking on the door of a United Way-fund-
ed agency for help, many for the very first time, we know we must continue to do more,” United Way chairperson Helen Murray said. “It is especially times like these that, together, we shine the brightest.” Last year, 10,000 youths stayed clean and in school with United Way-funded mental health and addiction support, crisis counselling and educational programs, Mr. Zanotti said. He told the dragon boaters they kicked off a campaign that helped 5,000 people find jobs, affordable housing and healthy food and 46,000 people receive help close to home and crisis counselling during family transitions. A safe shelter was found for a mother and her children, who were fleeing violence, he said. “People are giving and volunteering because they see the change United Way is driving,” he said. United Way York Region serves all nine municipalities by supporting agencies that meet urgent needs. United Way also works on tackling the root causes of social issues. STAFF PHOTOS/STEVE SOMERVILLE

Former national golf coach shares secrets in new book BY MICHAEL HAYAKAWA
mhayakawa@yrmg.com
How does a golfer attain a level from where they can earn a collegiate scholarship, win their club championship or fulfill a lifelong dream in turning pro? Henry Brunton has a good idea of how competitive players can elevate their game to the next level, having been the national amateur men’s coach from 1999 to 2011 along with being a Canadian PGA Master Professional and the only Canadian listed among GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Teachers in America. The Stouffville resident was quick to suggest it takes more than just being out on the practice range or fairways. Authoring a thorough 221-page book called High Performance Golf: The Serious Golfer’s Guide to Effective Training, Brunton strongly suggested a competitive golfer with aspirations on raising their game must make a big commitment on and off the course. “There’s a lot of ways how golfers can improve their game and there’s a lot of books out there on how to swing a club,” he said. “But I knew there was a need to give
golfers comprehensive information. I wanted to get my message out (through his book). Especially to help the serious golfer in providing a guide to effective training. “If you play two or three times a week and want to get better, this book looks at all areas of the game from equipment, practice, ball striking, physical training … from A to Z. It’s a comprehensive book that gives golfers the whole picture, a pathway to improving.” In writing his book, which took close to three years to complete, Brunton said it actually began before he came out with his first publication in 2009 catering to young golfers and their parents in Journey to Excellence: The Young Golfers Complete Guide to Achievement and Personal Growth. Lining up a publishing company in Alberta in 2001 that was interested in working with him, Brunton put his initial thoughts on paper in 2001. But when the company eventually went out of business, Brunton elected to put his book on hold. That was, until he attended a GOLF Magazine Top 100 conference in Pinehurst, N.C. five years ago.
HENRY BRUNTON: Stouffville golf coach, who teaches in Maple, is internationally recognized. While there, he met an individual who made a presentation on books pertaining to golf. They met and Brunton was given the encouragement to move forward with his book and did the majority of his work after Journey to Excellence came out on the market. In continuing with his book, Brunton said all of his thoughts did not come out all at once. Rather, he did it when time permitted.
“I still had a lot of things on the go at that time so I wrote in spurts,” he recalled. In the book, the main theme Brunton tries to extol is based on the principles of what he taught while serving as the national men’s coach. That being Long-Term Athlete Development - the guide to all Olympic sports science experts. “It works, it’s tried, tested and true,” he said in his introduction. “In my time as the Canadian national coach, I’ve seen first hand what can happen to athletes and coaches who understand and effectively apply this information. “I’ve used the methods in this book to coach world-class performers at the junior, college and elite amateur levels and they’ve produced national champions, world junior champions, NCAA champions, NCAA All-Americans and Player of the Year Award winners; one player even rose to No. 1 in the World Amateur Rankings. The best of the best have moved forward to succeed on the PGA and LPGA Tours. “Those who adapt these training techniques will likely see consistent improvement and remark-
able results. The book provides readers with a proven pathway to performance excellence. “This is a book for those who want to play at the highest levels, what to do to make your score better.” Elated with the final product, Brunton said he has plans to author more books.
‘I’ve used the methods in this book to coach world-class performers at the junior, college and elite amateur levels and they’ve produced national champions, world junior champions...’ He now teaches it at Eagles Nest Golf Club in Maple. Not right away though. “I have no ideas yet on what other topics of the game I want to write about. I’ll let this breathe for a while,” he said.
Mosquito Vikings lose in tourney final The Newmarket Hawks slammed the Vaughan Vikings 9-1 Sunday to claim their third straight York Simcoe Baseball Association championship. The victory capped a three-game run for the Hawks who did not surrender an earned
run in defeating Barrie Red Sox 12-2 and blanking Vaughan 10-0. Newmarket finished atop the regular season combined standings for Toronto and Eastern Ontario teams with a 17-2-1 record. — yorkregion.com
