4 Diamond Jubilee

recipients sparkleBy SANDRA [email protected]

Three of Whitchurch-Stouffville’s newest Diamond Jubilee medal recipients are for-mer Sun-Tribune citizen of the year winners — Dr. Donald Pet-rie, Sandy Schell Kennedy and Diane Ward.

The medals were handed out Sunday afternoon by Oak Ridg-es-Markham MPP Helena Jaczek during her fifth annual commu-nity barbecue held at Memorial Park.

The Queen Elizabeth II Dia-mond Jubilee medal honours contributions and achievements by Canadians.

Dr. Petrie has delivered more than 1,400 babies and played an important role in helping estab-lish Markham Stouffville Hospi-tal.

Dr. Petrie has also volunteered with Palliative Care York Region, the Markham Stouffville Fam-ily Life Centre and the Multiple Sclerosis Society. He was also behind the initiative to purchase a bandshell for Memorial Park.

Ms Schell Kennedy has been spearheading the Stouffville Terry Fox Run since 1990.

The grassroots organization has raised more than $1 million

Issues central to the rural nature of Whitchurch-Stouffville will be difficult to address in a riding where there is a mostly urban population, Oak Ridges-Markham Tory MP Paul Calandra said.

Earlier this week, the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario pro-posed changes to the electoral map.

The proposal has Whitchurch-Stouffville paired with the portion of Markham east of Hwy. 48, Main Street north and south and Markham Road.

The new riding of Markham-Stouffville would have a population of 105,500.

“My initial reaction is that again Markham is short-changed as the boundary does not reflect the growth. Markham-Stouffville will likely be the most populated riding in the country on the day it is created due to the development that has occurred since the cen-sus,” Mr. Calandra said.

The two-term MP also noted he would have preferred if rural municipalities were paired with other rural ones and likewise for urban areas.

Whitchurch-Stouffville Mayor Wayne Emmerson agreed, hoping the municipal-ity would have been paired with Durham’s

OPEN SATURDAY Lawn bowling clubhouse still usable despite blaze

BY SANDRA [email protected]

Another five minutes and the Stouffville Lawn Bowling organization’s clubhouse would have been reduced to ashes.

Instead, the clubhouse sustained damage to its north side, roof, ceiling and one window was blown out, embedding glass into the car-pet following a weekend fire on a neighbour-ing property.

Three pennants were also destroyed.“We’re still operable. The building is not

unsafe. We’re able to use it,” said Wilf Morley, chairperson of the club’s greens committee.

“We’re going to carry on and make do with what we’ve got. It’s somewhat of an inconve-nience.”

A 911 call was made around midnight Sat-urday for a shed fire at 6 Church St., which is next to the Lebovic Centre for Arts and Enter-tainment - Nineteen on the Park and the lawn bowling clubhouse.

The shed was in flames, as was part of the property fence that separates the club-house and residential property, Whitchurch-

Stouffville Fire Chief Rob McKenzie said.“The shed was literally one foot away from

the clubhouse,” he said.“It killed the shed. The shed burned down.

It was a complete write-off.”The Church Street resident moved into the

home a few days earlier, the fire chief said. There was no electricity or gas in the

approximately 10-foot by 10-foot wooden structure — only an electric lawn mower.

The cause of the fire remains undeter-mined, Mr. McKenzie said.

“The shed burned so completely, we just don’t know (the cause),” he said, adding foul play is not suspected and the fire marshal’s office will not investigate.

York Regional Police, however, are still investigating the blaze, Const. Blair McQuil-lan said.

Despite having a partially charred the clubhouse, the lawn bowling season will con-tinue.

The town has provided temporary shelter.Completion of a new clubhouse is expect-

ed by 2015.“I’d like to think (the fire would move

up construction), but I don’t think there’s enough damage to it. I’m estimating $25,000 to $30,000 and that’s a long way from the cost of a new clubhouse,” he said.

The fire department actually estimated the damage to be between $15,000 and $20,000, according to Mr. McKenzie.

Fire chief estimates damage

at $15K to $20

Dog owners disrespectfulShane Park is a parkette behind our

house on the east side of Stouffville and it is small, hence the term par-kette.

A bylaw is posted on a sign in a location that is easy to see by anyone coming into the parkette. It states all dogs must be on leash, which seems clear enough.

For years, many dogs and owners have used the location for off-leash exercise — the dogs exercise and the owners stand on the top of the hill and throw a ball or use a Chuckit and constantly yell “Fluffy, come” at the top of their lungs.

Two years ago, I had on-going dia-logue with a bylaw officer and things got better. This year, I’ve had to ask dog owners to respect the bylaw since it is a law.

Anyone who knows me knows I love animals and want the best for all of them. However, this off-leash activity is causing our dog and neigh-bours’ dogs to bark relentlessly. They all bark and it can be very stressful, in particular, when we are hanging out in our yard.

Today was the last straw for me. I politely asked a gentleman if he knew there was an off-leash park in town, and he told me, “Ya, so I’ve heard”.

I told him the bylaw states his dogs had to be on leash. He didn’t stop throwing the ball. I told him he was being rude and he said, “I can’t hear you!”

I also told him it is a small park and it is directly on the back of our yards. He and his friend eventually leashed their dogs and left, but not without him yelling back at me, “I hope you feel better”.

The great news is the town has given the green light to Stouffville’s off-

Editorial

As an Ontarian, you have less repre-sentation in the House of Commons than residents of other provinces. That may come as a surprise, considering Ontario has the most seats in the House.

However, Ontario members of Parlia-ment represent more people than MPs in several other provinces and each of the territories, effectively giving Ontar-ians less say than they deserve.

The Conservative government is try-ing to remedy the situation by adding 30 seats to the House, bringing the total to 338. Ontario will get 15 of those seats, bringing its share to 121.

York Region will get three addition-al seats and all current ridings will be altered, if the proposed boundary chang-es released this week are approved.

However, the very idea of adding seats is flawed. Adding 30 MPs will cost taxpayers about $18 million a year and $11.5 million more for each election.

The annual cost for an average MP is $590,668.90, including a base salary of $157,731, office expenses, employee salaries, travel and accommodations.

At a time when our government is running a deficit of more than $20 bil-lion, spending more money on politi-cians doesn’t make sense.

Instead, the government should change the way the current 308 seats are distributed.

The formula for determining seats in each province and territory is includ-ed in the Constitution and is outdated. Clauses allow several provinces to be over-represented in the House and the only way to make representation more fair without changing the Constitution is to add seats as the population grows.

That’s why the government needs to open talks to change the Constitution.

The population of the Labrador rid-ing in 2006 was 26,364. The Charlotte-town riding had 32,174 people. Miram-ichi in New Brunswick had 53,844.

By contrast, York-Simcoe had 120,371 people; Newmarket-Aurora, 121,924 and Oak Ridges-Markham, 169,642.

It’s unjust your voice doesn’t count as much as someone’s in Atlantic Canada.

A better formula would be to distrib-ute seats based on each province’s pro-portion of Canada’s population. Assum-ing each province and territory deserves at least one seat, if each territory is allo-cated one, that leaves 305 to go around.

Canada’s population as of the 2011 census was 33,476,688. That number, divided by 305 and rounded to the near-est person, is 109,408. That should be the average riding size across the country.

Yes, that means several provinces would lose seats, but it’s only fair.

The government should not spend more taxes on MPs when there is a way to make representation more fair while keeping the number of seats the same.

Don’t add more MPs, change constitution

Letters to the Editorleash park and there will be space set aside for small dogs only. I am thank-ful to the people who have worked so hard to get this in place.

We have taken our dog to an off-leash park in Richmond Hill, as there is an area for small dogs. In winter, we bring him to Doggie Central or Life’s Ruff for indoor activity with other small dogs.

Come on, people, let’s think of oth-ers and be respectful.

Amen to prayer requestRe: Why don’t they say a little prayer?,

Gladys CyBruChStouffville

Off The Top

with Jim Mason

If those walls could talk, they would pen many books.

They’re prepping to knock down the old Royal Canadian Legion on Ninth Line. The demolition crews have fences erected. Only the delayed timing of the job is a surprise.

We knew a couple of years back the yellow stucco structure just north of Main Street would be removed to make way for a straight-er, more efficient Ninth Line.

After initial resistance, officials at Branch 459 relented and agreed to move. After a parade from the old branch, they opened a beauti-ful and accessible new legion on Mostar Road last year.

It’s all part of progress, we say. We’ve torn down or abandoned elementary and high schools in Whitchurch-Stouffville and erected replacements during recent years.

Same went for long-term care facility Parkview Home and the Main Street fire hall. They’re now across Weldon Road from each other.

The school halls could have told stories of scholarly report cards, first loves, grade-A teachers and after-class punch-ups.

But the legion, in its role as the unofficial community centre to all things Stouffville, has seen more since it was constructed by veterans after the Second World War.

From wedding toasts and bowl-ing banquets to happy hours and drowned sorrows ... so many beef lun-cheons, dart tournaments, bazaars and public speaking contests.

Its basement club room was as smoky as a five-alarm blaze, back when you could light up indoors.

Legend has it Keith Acton had to buy a round for the house down there after committing the cardinal sin — wearing a hat — when he popped in for a cold one after win-ning the Stanley Cup in 1988.

You’re in a small minority if you never graced the doors of the now-doomed legion.

CHEESE

CANTALOUPESCALIFORNIA

If you have kids that are headed off touniversity, you'll know all about this.You get the van or U-Haul and headoff with all that's necessary for secondyear housing, or thereafter. Rather thansending them with a bar fridge, whatabout a bar freezer packed with alltheir favourite frozen entrees from ourstore? It sure beats meal plan, and mostof the time it beats pizza and junk. Tohelp out, we'll have four of the mostpopular single-serving sizes on salethis week. They are . . . Chicken NoodleSoup, Mac and Cheese, Shepherd's Pie,and also Doreen'sShepherd's Piewith vegetables.They will befeatured at . . .

These are the pear of choice at my house.We always have 2 or 3 in the communalfruit basket, in varying stages of ripeness.It’s a fine art picking the right momentto strike — if you wait too long, someoneelse may snag the beauty. If you make yourmove too soon, it might not have thatsublime flavour and juiciness that makesthese sospecial. FromNiagara.

Firstly, since it's still very much barbecueseason, we'll feature our jars of JackDaniel Sauce. It's displayed in the dairycounter along with our fresh soups anddips — featured at $3.99 each

Next we're making some French OnionSoup, ingredients being lots of sweetonions, beef broth, fresh thyme, garlicand . . . sherry. Regular $7.99, featuredat 25% OFF

And, we'll have a new salad on offer,it's a Chick Pea Salad with SaffronChicken, cut julienne, along with sweetred onions, diced cucumbers and mixedpeppers. Since it is new, and we don'thave an established retail yet, it will havea feature price of $1.49/100 g

And lastly, we'll be making Peach andMango Jam, available in 250 ml tubs inthe dairy section, priced at $2.99 ea.

Although we have sold thisice cream in our store for afew years now, I have enjoyedit for many before that. Mylate Mom was a treat hound,and when she decided toretire northward, one factorthat determined the locationwas that Fenelon Falls had tobe on that route — so thatice cream could be had mid-journey. We have arrangeda sale this week on the fullrange of flavors of my Mom'sfave ice cream. Reg. 8.99 ea.1.5 L Size

Normally, I am the champion of "local", and we have sold local 'lopesduring their season up to this point. I have been disappointed in theirflavor, to be honest. So we have made the switchto these. They have lots of sugar, a full flavor,and size, too! And now, price! SIZE 9's

This is the time of the year to think B.L.T. Sandwiches, while thetomatoes and the lettuce are at their best. I can say with pride thatthebacon is always at its bestbecauseit's made right here. Anyhoo . . .we'll have amazing B.L.T.'s at thecafe this Thursday and Friday from11 till 2. Featured at . . .

These are prime rib bones — actuallybeef back ribs — that we marinate inour Teriyaki Sauce. They are actuallybest when they're slow-cooked,although barbecuing works well, too!You'll find these on display at thefresh meat counter, usually in packs of5 or 6. I find: a) there is no dainty wayto eat these. Best just to pick themup . . . and b) they are rich — oftentwo per personis enough! Reg.$3.99 lb.

We'll be featuring somethingnew for us — TurkeyBurgers. We make thesewith light and dark meat,seasoned mildly with salt,pepper, egg, a bit of garlic,a touch of sage and breadcrumbs. 6 oz. size.

The wild season is now coming to a close, or atleast slowing down, as most of the pickers headoff to school and leave the remainders for thebears. What we do is buy a lot of these now sothat we can make pies all year long — with thereal berries — and there is no time like the presentto get going with these amazing pies. They’ll beavailable either baked orfrozen,with either a latticeor crumble topping.Reg. $12.95 each.

This cheese was developed by a certain Danishfarm girl in the mid 1800's, and it’s been aninternational favourite ever since. It’s an internallyripened cow’s milk cheese — hence the little ‘eyes’in cut. This cheese is normally ripened about 3months giving it a mellow and yet distinctiveflavor, making it oneof the best culinarycompanions for ourham! Reg. $2.79/100g

HAMBLACKFOREST

Throughout the year, we’ve made twotypes of ham; our award-winning MapleSugar Ham and our Smoked Black For-est Ham. Both are made from scratch inour meat kitchen and we’ve been makingthese for the last 20 years. What we dodifferently is that we don’t ‘EXTEND’them — a phrase that is used to describea process by which a ham actually ‘grows’during processing — a bit of trickery inmy opinion. What this process does is notonly relieve you of more money, it chang-es the flavour and texture of the finishedproduct. So in short, if you want the realthing, with that flavour that made hampopular in the first place, come see foryourself at ourdeli. Sliced. Reg.$2.39/100g

I love this bread, and with even better reasonthan before because there are now three typesto choose from. The types are . . . BavarianLight Rye, Bavarian Premium SandwichBread, and lastly, Bavarian MultigrainBread. I love them just buttered withsea salt and pepper, but dressed up withham and Havarti cheese, they’re awesome!Regularly priced

WHAT’S COOKIN’ AT THE

DELI?BONES

PILE O' BURGERSTURKEY

silk purse from a sow’s ear? It can be done.Don’t think so? Then take a walk through

Stouffville’s downtown, from Albert Street to Park Drive; take a stroll through the lighted gardens at 19 on the Park; take a drive past

the leisure centre; the Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum or the Ballantrae and Lemonville community centres.

Accomplishments by the town’s leisure services department in co-operation with planning and build-ing services plus the Lemonville Group of Artists, have transformed these and other areas into munici-pal beauty spots.

And all for a budgeted cost of $15,000.

Priceless.“It’s everyone work-

ing together,” says downtown co-ordinator Anna Rose, “I’m simply the program’s cheer-leader.”

While modest con-cerning personal in–volvements, close asso-ciates readily appreciate her work ethic that often extends past a five-day week into evenings and weekends.

“I love what I do,” she says.In her spare time, Anna has toured many Ontario

towns in an effort to learn what they’ve achieved.“None have flowers like ours,” she said. “It’s magic.”And it’s paying off, she states, through higher pedes-

trian traffic and increased business. In addition, a town-approved community improvement plan has prompted several owners to take advantage of sizeable loans with interest-free pay-back periods of up to 10 years.

While floral displays are attention-getters, Anna says other projects such as Friday evening outdoor movies have proved popular. The rotating locations are pub-lished in the Sun-Tribune every Thursday. Last spring’s Easter egg hunt hosted 1,200 adults and children.

In addition to solid town support, Anna says she’s received excellent co-operation from organizations such as the Stouffville Lions Club; Branch 459 of the Royal Canadian Legion; the Community Policing Association and the Air Cadet squadron.

Anna isn’t alone when it comes to assessing the new look of Stouffville’s downtown. Mike Richardson, man-ager of facilities and parks, is equally enthusiastic.

Both Mike and Anna target flower-waterers Maureen O’Halloran, Casandra Cain and Marlene Woud for spe-cial recognition.

“Mother Nature hasn’t been kind to us this summer,” Mike said, “without these girls’ outstanding work, the hanging baskets would have dried up and died by the end of July.” Two of the trio are horticultural graduates. Their days, Mondays through Sundays, begin at 5:30 a.m. A custom-made water wand, perfected by town employee Brian Tew, pours a triggered stream from a 2,000-litre tank on the back of a town pickup truck.

Through tendering, the flowers were purchased from Sicillia Gardens of Stouffville and Otter’s Green-houses of Uxbridge.

Mike said following a tour of several York Region towns, Unionville’s Main Street was selected as a model for Stouffville. Bruce Hatt, supervisor of parks, put a plan together, the result of which is plain to see, Mike says.

Andrew McNeely and Rob Raycroft head up two separate departments that work closely together on the town’s improvement program.

What’s so satisfying about this year’s projects is the positive feedback the town continually receives from business people, residents and visitors, says Mike.

“Every week, letters of praise come from people who take the time to write,” Mike notes. “I’m sure there are many more who are equally happy.”

Jim Thomas is a Stouffville resident who has written for area newspa-pers for more than 60 years.

Town hosts music festivalBY SANDRA [email protected]

“Knowledge is power. The more we know about each other, the less reservations we have about each other,” according to Anna Rose, downtown co-ordinator for the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville.

The town has partnered with the Stouffville Multicultural Association to spearhead the inaugural World Music Festival Sept. 15.

“We’ve always been multi-cultural. The change is that we’ve become more visibly diverse,” said Joanne Iannuzzi, chairperson of the

Stouffville Multicultural Associa-tion.

The event, which takes place in Memorial Park from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., rain or shine, includes more than 15 musicians and dance acts as well as cultural crafters and food vendors.

Performers include Northern Lights, Southern Fists Chinese Lion Dancers, Bhangra Dance Academy, classical singer AJ de Boer, Korean drummer Bob Bak and Bollywood dancer Dolly Bhatia.

Isolation not an option, says workshop organizer

Finding volunteers and obtaining funding are two of the top challenges not-for-profit organizations deal with almost daily.

“I don’t know what No. 3 is, so that will be interesting,” said Jury Konga, organizer of the non-profit collaboration workshop Sept. 17.

He hopes survey results will reveal the third most common problem, shortly before the seminar takes place.

“Everyone thinks their organization is unique, but really they’re all the same,” he said.

Exploring the challenges, as well as ways to get non-profits working together is the purpose of the event.

“I see the need for people to have better communication and the opportunities that

come from collaboration,” he said.“You can’t work in isolation anymore as an

organization. There needs to be a sharing of knowledge and skill sets.”

So far, about 14 organizations have com-mitted to participating in the free workshop.

The event includes presentations on real world collaborations as well as crowdfund-ing, which is the funding of projects/ventures online through small donations by a large number of people.

The event is Sept. 17 in the council cham-bers, 111 Sandiford Dr., from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Uxbridge and Port Perry, but under-stands why the commission wanted to keep York Region municipalities together.

The redistribution is a reflection of a population shift and increase.

Under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, the commission’s main aim in redrawing boundaries is to divide the province into electoral districts “as close to the average popu-lation as reasonably possible”.

The population of a district should remain within 25 per cent of the aver-age, once consideration is given to communities of interest or identity and historical and geographic factors.

“It’s good, because this was one of the biggest ridings in Canada ... it stretched to King City,” Mr. Emmer-son said.

Mr. Calandra plans on speaking with his riding’s mayors and council-lors to get their feedback.

When asked if the re-alignment would affect his decision to seek a third term and if he did run again, in which riding would it be in, Mr. Calandra said: “These are only the initial suggestions. The actual final boundary is due in February, so I will wait until I see the final maps before making (any) decisions on the next election.”

Public consultations will be held in Richmond Hill Oct. 18 at the Sheraton Parkway hotel.

REDISTRIBUTION FEDERAL ELECTORAL DISTRICTS

York Region could be home to several new electoral ridings if a realignment of federal rid-ings takes place. Stouffville could be incorporated with north Markham as shown on the right side of the proposed riding redistribution map. Public input is invited in October.

Praying mantis friend to gardenersBY SANDRA [email protected]

The dry, hot summer has benefited gar-deners, somewhat, as there has been a boon in the praying mantis population.

“I’d be thrilled to have them because they’re eating all the things eating my plants,” said Sandy Smith, entomologist professor, faculty of forestry at the University of Toronto.

It is possible the over-abundance of pray-ing mantis is not only due to the weather, but also because of the amount of available prey, Dr. Smith said.

The carnivorous insect is fond of eating moths, crickets, grasshoppers and flies.

Females have also been known to also eat their mating partners post-copulation, but not always, according to theprayingmantis.org

“The roots of this insect cannibalism remains to this day the subject of some debate, with some considering submissive males attempting to gain selective genetic

advantages for their offspring,” according to the website.

The female praying mantis has a one-year life cycle. They egg over winter and hatch in early spring.

The praying mantis’ front legs are bent and held together at an angle similar to the prayer position, hence the name.

They use their camouflage to blend in with the greenery, while they await the arrival of their next meal.

The praying mantis will then use their legs to trap their victims.

Their legs also have tiny “spikes” along them.

“It would hurt,” Dr. Smith said of a praying mantis’ bite on a human. “I don’t know if they could draw blood, but they might.”

While there is an abundance of the insect this year, it does not mean the trend will con-tinue.

“It depends if we have a mild winter,” Dr. Smith said.

The hot summer has resulted in a higher praying mantis popula-tion than normal. One University of Toronto professor says it is a good thing because the insects keep gardens clear of moths, crickets, grasshoppers and flies.

The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation announced it will forego strike votes in all bargaining units in Ontario except for those where school boards are seeking conciliation.

The strike votes were planned as part of the regular negotiation process, not due to a breakdown in local bargaining, York

Region district 16 OSSTF president Col-leen Ireland said.

“We have said all along that we had not planned job action and that staff would be in schools as expected on the first day,” she added.

Provincial OSSTF president Ken Coran explained local federation units, including York Region, continue to negotiate in local bargaining to achieve collective agree-ments to be ratified locally.

Secondary school teachers postpone strike votes

York Region teacher Laurie Provenzano waves a flag during a protest against the provincial Lib-eral’s move to enforce contract terms through legislation at Queen’s Park Tuesday.

Since the units are making progress with school boards, the strike vote is no longer needed.

Many developments related to bar-gaining have come about since the fed-eration first announced strike votes at the end of June and members are adjusting their actions according to the progress.

“Once more I am stating that OSSTF member will be at work on the first day of school doing what they do best, working with students,” he said.

“The start of the school year is not in jeopardy.”

Teachers from York Region and other boards rallied at Queen’s Park earlier this week to encourage the provincial govern-ment to withdraw the proposed legisla-tion that removes workers’ bargaining rights and to allow local bargaining to continue.

MPPs were recalled early to debate the McGuinty’s government’s teacher wage-freeze legislation called Putting Students First Act.

Spirit adding vital pieces to puzzleBY MICHAEL [email protected]

For the Stouffville Spirit, their training camp and preseason to date has been a case of being so far, so good.

Directing his first training camp as the Ontario Junior Hockey League club’s head coach, Jeff Per-rin has been satisfied with what he’s seen.

“Our defence has looked pretty good up front, although we lost a lot of players from last year’s team in guys like Drake Caggiula, Chris-tian Finch and Chris Porter, we have a couple of new forwards that have picked up the slack,” he said. “Overall, the kids have done well.”

Perrin will look to rookies such as Mac Wood, a 17-year-old Sim-

coe resident who played with the St. Thomas Stars in the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League last year, where he scored 18 goals and added nine assists in 51 games.

Wood has a goal and two assists in the Spirit’s first two preseason games.

He accounted for both Spirit goals on the power play in Sunday’s 4-2 loss to the Whitby Fury.

Another player making his pres-ence felt is Taylor Joseph, 17.

The son of former National Hockey League netminder Curtis Joseph, Taylor played last season with the York Simcoe Express AAA midgets and was a 15th round draft pick of the London Knights in the 2010 Ontario Hockey League’s pri-ority selection.

In the Spirit’s 5-4 road win over the Whitby Fury Saturday, Joseph scored a pair of goals.

Also catching Perrin’s attention has been the performance of three 1996-born players from Stouffville — forwards Chad Burrows and Spencer Roberts and defenceman Josh Carrick.

A member of the Vaughan Kings minor midgets and coached by former Spirit head coach Dave D’Ammizio, Burrows is the neph-ew of Spirit co-owner and general manager Kenny Burrows.

Roberts is the nephew of for-mer NHL player Gary Roberts and played last season with the Markham Waxers midgets.

A seventh-round selection of the Barrie Colts in the 2012 OHL

priority selection who was with the Markham Majors minor midgets last season, Carrick is the young-est of four hockey-playing broth-ers, NHL draft picks Sam (Toronto) and Trevor (Carolina) played in the OHL last season. The older brother ex-OHLer Jake, played for Lake-head University.

While Carrick signed with the Spirit earlier this summer, Bur-rows and Roberts signed on more recently.

Roberts, though, signed an AP card and is expected to play this season with the Markham Waxers midgets.

Perrin said there will be a tough decision to make for goalies.

Although incumbent Knick Dawe is attending the Sarnia Sting’s

OHL camp, Perrin insists he is there for a skate.

That leaves Wyatt Pickrell and Brandon Tidman to compete for the back-up role.

Pickrell was a call-up for the Spirit last season while Tidman came to the Spirit on the sugges-tion of Brian Perrin, former Spirit head coach and brother of Jeff, after trying out with the Newmar-ket Hurricanes last season where Brian served as head coach.

“Both (Pickrell and Tidman) have played well so far,” Perrin said. “As a coaching staff, we will have to decide who is the right guy for us to keep.”

The Spirit begin the season Sept. 9 at home against the Kingston Voyageurs. Game time is 2:30 p.m.
