THRILL THE
GRILL
On the web: Check out our topic page at yorkregion.com for more
By Sean [email protected]
Feel like getting your nos-talgia on this summer?
Well, if so, then a retro-themed barbecue may be
just the ticket. In the 1960s, the back yard
barbecue was a common sight as suburban families would invite friends and relatives over for an afternoon of fun in the sun and some tasty charbroiled eats.
To this day, nothing seems to bring people together quite like watching slabs of meat cook over glowing coals or an open flame.
The barbecue culture of yester-year remains very much alive and well, Ontario Gas BBQ president Duff Dixon explained.
As owner of the world’s largest barbecue store and having been in the business for more than 30 years, Mr. Dixon knows a thing or seven about grills and he said they still have an undeniable power to draw people together.
“I would have to say that it is still the same and still a family/
This IS your dad’s (or granddad’s) barbecue
cultural event,” Mr. Dixon said. “Last night, I was at my neigh-bour’s (house) and there were four families from our street, three other families and my mother and cousins from Montreal.”
The history of barbecue goes back to at least the 1600s.
A Time magazine article from July 2009 states etymologists believe the word barbecue comes from the term barbacoa describ-ing the indigenous Caribbean people’s practice of slow cooking meat over a fire pit on a grill con-sisting of a wooden platform sup-ported by sticks.
Over the centuries, the cooking method spread throughout the continent.
And while barbecuing increased in popularity as the years rolled by, things in Canada really got cooking around the late 1970s and then flared up big time in the early 1980s with the introduction of mass-marketed gas grills sold at retailers such as Canadian Tire, Home Hardware and Sears, Mr. Dixon said.
So what is it about a barbecue that keeps bringing us back?
According to Mr. Dixon, there’s just something primal about firing
up the old (or new) grill.“You’re outdoors, there’s fire,
smoke’s billowing, the testosterone is flowing,” he said.
What’s more, old-school is in. During the 1960s, in your
father’s (or possibly your grandfa-ther’s) heyday, charcoal barbecues were king, Mr. Dixon said, adding many customers at his Concord store are coming in to either pur-chase or learn more about char-coal grilling.
“What we’re seeing is a resur-gence of charcoal,” Mr. Dixon said. “We’re seeing traditionally indoor chefs adding a charcoal barbecue and a smoker and all of the toys that go with it.
“It’s a whole different style of cooking, of course.”
Lucky for them, modern char-coal enthusiasts have a whole assortment of options available to them that didn’t exist back in the 1950s and 1960s. Simply by adding wood to the mix, one can infuse the food you’re grilling with distinct flavours such as hickory, apple, cherry, mesquite and more.
Assuming you’ve gone ahead and procured some vintage bar-becue equipment, with a little
modern flair of course, it’s time to complete the theme with a party to match.
According to Connie Berenguer of Newmarket’s Perfectly Planned Parties by Connie Berenguer, the secrets to any great theme party are enthusiasm and keeping things simple. Encourage every-one to dress in costume and keep a bin of period-appropriate props near the front door for when people arrive, she said, adding the thrift store, a relative’s closet and/or a dollar store are all great places to look if you’re trying to embrace your inner Don or Betty Draper from AMC’s Mad Men.
“Get everyone involved (and) be in the spirit too! Everyone knows a great party starts with excited and participative hosts,” Ms Berenguer said. “Where pos-sible, plan and prepare in advance so you’re not exhausted the day of the event.
“Keep it simple on yourself!”As for decor, a good start would
be to look at television shows and films either set in or from the late 1950s or early 1960s and adjust your space’s look accordingly. Inspiration can even come from old family photographs.
Again, the dollar store will likely be your friend. To keep everybody smiling, also be sure to plan sev-eral fun throwback activities.
Ms Berenguer suggests setting up a photo booth with a vintage backdrop, playing a few rounds of “Name that Tune” and/or hold-ing a dance contest so people can show off their old-school moves. Breaking out a few retro games (Twister anyone?) could help make for a memorable and fun get together as well, she said.
In terms of logistics, Ms Beren-guer again advises that would-be hosts should stick to simplicity.
People have busy schedules, she said, so having an open-ended start and end time can go a long way toward encouraging guests to click “attending” on the e-vite screen. Aspiring hosts should not fret if their back yard is not quite as spacious as they would prefer.
“Having parties that run all afternoon and evening long can make it easier to accommodate different guests’ availability and schedules and allow you as the host to have many people come to your party but just at different times. Kind of like an open house,” she said. “Don’t stress about space! A great party can happen in even the smallest of spaces.
“People don’t require a lot of space to have a good conversation and great time.”
Finally, when talking food, there’s no need to go overboard.
Simple food such as hamburg-ers and hot dogs were all the rage on the 1960s barbecue circuit and won’t be unwelcome now.
If you’re thinking about serving a lot of options, consider making the affair a pot luck where every-one brings a dish to share or a meat for the grill.
“Most people don’t mind bring-ing something small to share and actually enjoy it,” Ms Berenguer said. “If you like, get them to serve it around too. If everyone gets a turn and a time slot for their item to be served and featured, it gives them and everyone else some-thing to look forward to, makes it easier on you, the host, and keeps everyone having fun all night long.”

“If we have municipal parking lots around and if we keep those marked and maintained, we can use those to our advantage to create parking for people spending money in town,” Councilor Gary Lamb said.
Councillor James Leduc, however, feared other issues may arise that would prove better use of the money.
“We should be aware that there will be an expense and this will be paid out of last year’s tax operating budget. Maybe it’s best to hold
off,” Councillor Leduc said. Councillor Lamb supported the decision
to demolish the building but with some stipu-lations.
“I want to make sure it’s not used as per-manent parking for residents nearby, meters should be installed with bylaw enforcement officers monitoring.”
With many of Bradford’s local businesses located on Barrie Street, Councillor Lamb insisted, “this parking will be used by people spending money downtown in order to sup-port local businesses, so merchants can pay taxes and provide jobs.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Thanks to South Simcoe Police for being there when needed
On Aug. 1, I was boating on Lake Simcoe and ran into trouble when my batteries went dead and my motor wouldn’t start. I was anchored off Willow Beach in Geor-gina.
Using my mobile phone, I contacted South Simcoe Police to request assistance and was advised a boat would be there as soon as possible to assist.
Approximately five minutes later, I received a call from York Regional Police, which didn’t surprise me since Willow Beach is normally serviced by York Region. York police advised one of their boats would respond.
Shortly thereafter, York police called back to advise their boat was being repaired and couldn’t respond. Instead, they suggested I swim to shore with my boat and find a friend to assist me: my boat is not the kind of boat you push into shore. They fur-ther advised South Simcoe Police couldn’t respond for the same reason.
Fortunately, I was able to make other arrangements. Shortly thereafter, South Simcoe Police arrived to assist. I explained my problem and what had occurred. They asked me to confirm my “rescue” arrange-ments, then advised they had another call, but would call me in one hour to make sure
I was OK.South Simcoe Police did call back as I
was arriving at my marina.As any experienced boater knows, a
problem on the water can turn tragic very quickly and while I did manage to make arrangements myself, I was very pleased South Simcoe Police were there to provide assistance if needed.
I hope Bradford West Gwillimbury coun-cil will take “service” into strong consider-ation when evaluating the cost proposal from the OPP.
A thankful South Simcoe Police sup-porter.

EDITORIAL
ooze is business. Big business in Ontario.
The LCBO added $1.6 billion to Ontario’s coffers last year, so it’s
no wonder the Liberal govern-ment has approved a 70-outlet expansion, costing $100 million, over the next two years.
The Progressive Conservatives are, instead, calling on the Liber-als to share the love and allow convenience stores to sell beer and wine.
It’s a move to which most con-sumers would say cheers — more than 112,000 signed an Ontario Convenience Stores Association petition favouring the idea and a new Angus Reid poll indicates two of three Ontarians favour buying beer and wine at the cor-ner store.
Yet, despite the apparent sup-port of consumers for change to the liquor laws that date back to the 1930s, Premier Dalton McGuinty was quick to put a cork in the idea, insisting the LCBO is doing a good job preventing minors from buying alcohol.
“We believe it’s a system that enables us to provide greatest guarantee to moms and dads that when a 16-year-old or 17-year-old shows up to buy beer or some liquor, that we have the necessary measures in place to ferret them out and deny them access to alco-holic beverages,” Mr. McGuinty said.
As if our kids are going to become drooling, staggering alcoholics without the benevo-lent intervention of the LCBO and Premier Dad.
The reality is a majority of our teenaged minors are drinking alcohol.
Alcohol is the No. 1 drug of choice for youth and is used by 55 per cent of grades 7 to 12 stu-dents, according to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health’s 2011 Ontario student drug use and health survey.
The convenience stores asso-ciation insists individual owners do a better job of turning away ineligible buyers of age-restricted products than do the LCBO or The Beer Store and has studies to back it up.
But are Ontarians less respon-
sible than the citizens of Alberta, Quebec, most of the United States, United Kingdom and many Euro-pean countries, where wine and beer are available in grocery and convenience stores?
Of course we’re not.The Ontarians who want the
convenience of having beer and wine available at the local store will also want to see it sold respon-sibly, under the same stringent — or even stricter — rules followed by the LCBO, including proof of age for all purchases,
It’s working in the 214 Ontario stores already selling alcohol in communities too small for a regu-lar LCBO outlet or Beer Store.
Bottom line, selling alcohol is a business and it’s wrong for the Liberals to be coy about its true motivation to maintain — and expand — the status quo.
LCBO analysis estimates the new stores will have an economic spinoff of about $120 million and generate about 740 direct and indirect jobs.
If beer and wine were sold in variety stores, it would not only be convenient, it would be a major boon to small businesses.
Only 5 per cent of those polled in the Angus Reid survey were aware the Beer Store is not pub-licly owned like the LCBO, but operated by foreign multinational alcohol distributors.
In today’s economy, why shouldn’t some of the profits of beer sales remain in our prov-ince?
While not advocating the sale of the lucrative LCBO, according to Thornhill PC MPP Peter Shur-man, his party is urging a review of the more than 600 provincial agencies, boards and commis-sions, including the LCBO.
“We need to ensure the gov-ernment focuses on core pub-lic services and gets out of other areas and the sale and distribu-tion of alcohol needs to be part of that discussion.”
For all these reasons, it’s wrong for Premier McGuinty to simply brush aside the proposal of sell-ing beer and wine in convenience stores, without at least renewing the debate, using social respon-sibility and the public interest as essential parameters.
Time has come for convenience store liquor

CARROT FEST: The fun starts tonight until Saturday evening
Plan ahead if you need to travel around town during Carrot Fest
Aug. 30. “The Outdoor Movies event provides a wonderful way for fami-lies to spend time together as sum-mer winds down,” said director of leisure services, Tom Graham. “This event is another example of the town and local business part-nering together to deliver a spon-sored program for the benefit of the residents of Bradford West Gwil-limbury.
“If this program is well received by the public, the department of leisure services would like to be in a position to offer it again for sum-mer 2013.”
Tomorrow, you can get a jump on all of the Carrot Fest fun as the Gable Bros. Midway will be up and running at the Bradford and Dis-trict Memorial Community Centre. The rides will be operational from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. tomorrow, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
On Saturday, Aug. 18, this year’s Carrot Fest kicks off at 9 a.m. with the eight annual CarrotFast 5 km Charity Walk/Run. Come out to the Bob Fallis Arena and participate
in the race for your chance to win some great prizes while also raising funds for Holy Trinity High School’s athletic department.

Registration for this free event begins at 9 a.m. with the race fol-lowing at 9:30 a.m. There are plenty of prizes to be won including a new mountain bike.

Then, Sunday, it’s time for the sixth annual Family Fun Fest which will take pace from noon to 4 p.m. over at Lions Park. With a barbecue, games, bouncy castles, prizes and more, it’s the perfect family-friendly follow-up to Carrot Fest.

g. 16, 2012WELLNESS: Plan to offset town’s doctor shortage
By Melanie Kerr
A health team of doctors is coming to Bradford and will be in place by this time next year, it was announced Tuesday night.
Roadblocks the town has faced to bring a much-needed family health team to res-idents of Bradford have been successfully cleared, Mayor Doug White announced dur-ing a meeting.
Council met with staff at Ontario’s Health Ministry regarding funding and other issues and to work out the perimeters of establish-ing Bradford West Gwillimbury’s first health team and, since there are no formal objec-tions to the plan, a satellite family health team in partnership with Southlake Regional Health Centre, will come to town in less than one year.
“I’ve been involved from the start in the family medicine training program that we have at Southlake with the University of Toronto,” said Southlake’s Chief of Staff Dr. Nancy Merrow, adding, “We will have new recruits from the residency and solid practic-ing practitioners.”
“A lack of family doctors in Bradford will be benefitted through the health team and will serve to improve the quality of positions the
town has to offer,” Dr. Merrow said. “The (doctor) residences change over
every July. This year, we will graduate nine doctors with the support: all essential ele-ments are aligned,” said Dr. Merrow.
Mayor White believes this will provide an essential service to the town.
Hospital satellite health team coming to town next July: town
NANCY MERROW: Southlake’s chief of staff has worked with town from beginning to bring team to Bradford.

You and your family are invited to cel-ebrate the summer with Family Fun Fest this weekend.
Acting as an annual follow-up to Carrot Fest, Family Fun Fest has become a Bradford tradition over the years.
The event, featuring a barbecue, games bouncy castles, prizes and much more family-oriented fun, was started by Pastors Shane and Becky Fitch of the Bradford Community Church six years ago and has grown with last year’s instalment attracting more than 500 people.
“Our fast-paced digitally mobile world and everyday life make it difficult to enjoy our families,” Mrs. Fitch said. “Local events like picnics and fairs are a great option for qual-ity family time and Carrot Fest weekend has proven to be the right time for us to extend the invitation to our town to join us for this celebration.”
Mr. Fitch agrees.“It is great to be a part of Bradford West
Gwillimbury,” he said. “We really want to bring some joy and quality time into the lives of families in our area through picnics and events like this one.
“I am looking forward to it.”Family Fun Fest will take place Sunday at
the Bradford Lions Park, 226, Colborne St., and run from noon to 4 p.m.
Everyone is also encouraged to join the Bradford Community Church for a lively out-door music and message service at 10 a.m. before the Fun Fest begins.
For more information about this year’s Family Fun Fest, contact Pastor Becky Fitch at 905-775-9268.
Family Fun Fest continues summer of fun in Bradford
Slide on over to Family Fun Fest this week-end for rides and thrills for the whole fam-ily.

We do not need a special day,To bring you to our minds.The days we do not think of you,Are very hard to fi nd.Each morning when we awake,We know that you are gone.And no one knows the heartache,As we try to carry on.Our hearts still ache in sadness,And secret tears still fl ow.What it meant to lose you,No one will ever know.Our thoughts are always with you,Your place no one can fi ll.In life we loved you dearly,In death we love you still.
Lovingly remembered by Shirley, Michelle, Scott, Ryan, Miranda, Derek, Michelle, Justin & Alexyss.
In loving memory of Grant Murray Blight
who passed away August 16, 1987.There will always be a heartacheAnd often a silent tear,But always precious memoriesOf the days when you were here.We hold you close within our heartsAnd there you will remain,To walk with us throughout our livesUntil we meet again.
Loving remembered by wife Jean, sons Larry, Murray, Brian, daughters Judy & Sharon and their families.

grandchildren Anna-Marie & Brendan
