Bruce Girdler received some shocking news recently when his daughter returned home from school.

The financial outlay required for her, a Grade 9 student, to play for the Markham District High School junior girls basketball team this season is $500.

That figure wasn’t the only eye opener.

If his daughter wanted to play for the school volleyball team later this year, it would cost another $300.

When Jim Monk was informed by his daughter, Laura, it would cost $300 to play for the Stouffville District Secondary School Spar-tans girls field hockey team this fall, it almost made his jaw drop.

Unlike past years, students

Dressed in blue long sleeve shirts and white vets, about 40 members of the Ontario Motor Maids braved yesterday morning’s rain to help escort Darlene Brown’s body to the Stouffville Cemetery.

Ms Brown’s wooden casket made the journey from the United Church along Main Street and Tenth Line in a glass-encased Harley-Davidson hearse. The vehicle was brought in from Brantford for the day.

Ms Brown loved her own Harley, which was a distinc-tive blue equipped with a sidecar.

Her best friend Christine Burns drove Ms Brown’s bike in the procession.

Raised $50,000 foR chaRity

Ms Brown died Sunday, following a brief illness. She was 69.

“She’ll be missed,” said her son Rick.For more than 25 years, Ms Brown participated in

Ride for Sight, which benefits The Foundation Fighting Blindness. In that time, Ms Brown raised more than $50,000, according to Tania Wybenga, fundraising and communications co-ordinator, Ride for Sight Canada Foundation Fighting Blindness.

“She was a huge asset to the Ride for Sight and she will be dearly missed,” Ms Wybenga wrote in an e-mail to The Sun-Tribune.

Ms Brown, who heard about the annual ride from her son, often participated alongside him.

In 1991, Ms Brown joined Motor Maids, a North American women’s motorcycle club.

“We’re very proud of everything she’s done,” said her daughter-in-law Sheryl.

Ms Brown was predeceased by her husband Ira. She is survived by her son as well as a sister and grandchild.

It’s business as usual for sports teams and clubs at Stouffville District Secondary School, according to the school’s principal Reid Wilshire.

“We have enough teachers offering to coach,” he told The Sun-Tribune yesterday morning.

“Teacher involvement in co-curricular ... clubs, teams, sports teams, that type of thing, has always been voluntary. It’s never been a part of the contract,” he said.

In response to the Liberal government’s newly-passed legislation that freezes teach-ers’ salaries, removes bargaining rights and rolls back perks, including cutting sick days in half to 10 and removing bankable sick day pay-out upon retirement, some Ontario teachers are refusing to do voluntary extra-curricular activities.

‘STAFF COMMITTED’

High school teachers were also asked to wear black clothes or armbands Wednesday.

“The people I saw were wearing black,”

Mr. Wilshire said.The principal added he did not see any

teacher wearing an armband but as the school has about 100 teachers, he said he does not see everyone every day.

On Thursday, many students who partici-pate in sports and join clubs had no idea there could be a potential halt to their after-school activities due to teachers unwilling to give up their free time in protest.

The band, cheerleading, senior girls’ bas-ketball and boys rugby were all unaffected, according to students.

The school’s union rep Katrina Collins would not comment when contacted by The Sun-Tribune Friday morning and referred us to Mr. Wilshire and her union, whose reps were unavailable due to an all-day meeting.

As far as clubs go, Mr. Wilshire said there are years some won’t run due to lack of stu-dent and teacher interest, but “I haven’t heard any cancelled for any reason. ... I guess no news is good news on that front.”

“We are all committed, all staff here, to student achievement. That’s our priority and we’re sticking to it,” he said.

While all is well in Stouffville, the same cannot be said for Thornhill, in particular Stephen Lewis Secondary School.

Hundreds of its students walked out of class Thursday afternoon after learning they would have no sports teams this year.

When students arrived for school in the morning, the athletic association’s bulletin board was covered with notices for various teams stating: “We regret to inform you there

will be no team this year.”Field trips, talent shows, along with lunch

hour and after school help were also cancelled.The battle was also playing out on Twitter

via #SLSS.@SupremCaden wrote: “Dear #SLSS, you

have inspired us. From #MHS.”Even Olympic medalist Adam van Koev-

erden weighed in with: “I’m with you guys. #Protestwithplay #SLSSMHSPROTEST

@TEAMSDE wrote: “As a recent graduate of Stephen Lewis Secondary School, I am ashamed of my former teachers, some of which I call my friends.”

STUDENTS PLAN PROTEST

A Facebook page started by Richmond Green High School students called on all York Region students to wear team uniforms, articles of clothing from clubs or councils, or athletic wear and gym uniforms to school this Wednesday “to show how important these extra-curricular activities are to us students and to say that the reactions to this act are not putting students first”.

In Waterloo, a picket line planned to coin-cide with a meet-the-teacher night at Laurel-wood Public School failed to materialize.

Instead of having the situation become confrontational, or have the school board perceive it as such, many teachers met with parents and students outside, in front of the school, while others opted to hold their meet-ings inside.

with files from Kim Zarzour and Torstar News Service

Teachers in black only change at Stouffville Secondary

are expected to pay for transportation and on-field officials.

Those items were formerly paid for through discretionary funds allotted by individual schools to athletic departments.

New Ontario Education Ministry guide-lines on supplementary fees, released last spring, mean schools can no longer charge students for materials or books that are required for their class studies, meaning there are less discretionary funds to go around.

TEAMS DROPPED

As a result, many York Region high schools are implementing higher user fees for varsity sports teams to offset costs.

On top of coaching duties, coaches are now expected to prepare team budgets, based on projected costs, without critical informa-tion such as schedules, the number of players on the team and potential playoff games. It means a lot of guesswork.

Ontario Catholic and public school boards are coping in different ways, York Region Ath-letic Association athletic co-ordinator Steve Shantz said.

In York Region, the new funding rules have had a greater impact on the public board, where, in many instances, the cost to support a team must now be absorbed by the athletes’ parents, Shantz said.

At Markham’s St. Augustine Catholic High School, for example, user fees for students have remained constant over the last 10 years, with a one-time $25 banquet fee and a user fee of $30 for each sport in which a student takes part, the school’s head of physical edu-cation Italo Mazzolin said.

Depending on the school, most or all of the discretionary funding now needed for class-

room essentials is taken away from sports, Shantz said, summing up the bleak situation.

“If you want to play, you’ve got to pay,” he said. “We’re talking about massive increases in user fees as compared to what youngsters were paying in the past.”

For the YRAA fall campaign, there could be as many as 29 fewer senior and junior varsity teams, Shantz said.

“If you have kids who play multiple sports, that could add up to a big chunk of change,” Shantz said. “We could be pricing some kids out because of their inability to pay.”

That’s already happeningRichmond Hill High School announced

several varsity sports, traditionally offered during fall, will not run, including its junior and senior football teams, boys soccer and cricket and one girls basketball team.

“We had a full slate of teams last fall and wanted to add more this year, but the big issue is user fees,” Richmond Hill’s head of physical education Mark Girdler, Bruce’s brother, said.

Funding shortfalls could be addressed through school fundraising, but that may lead to inequities between affluent and disadvan-taged communities.

If you have questions about how sports are funded at schools, Shantz suggested you con-tact your school principal and local trustee.

‘DO MORE WITH LESS’

While some students will lose out without sports, teachers who commit their time and effort, with no extracurricular pay, to assist in enriching young people’s lives, are also adversely affected.

As for how the YRAA sports scene will unfold this fall, time will tell.

“It will definitely be an interesting fall,” Shantz said. “For now, it’s about what’s appro-priate. Everyone has to do more with less.”

Leave LCBO aloneRe: Time has come for con-

venience store liquor, editorial, Aug. 16.

What is missed from the edi-torial suggesting liquor should be available in corner stores is the affect this would have on jobs for LCBO employees.

There is an ongoing war against the middle class in North America – from employ-ers who move their companies to jurisdictions where labour is cheap to employers such as GM who wish to eliminate defined benefit pension plans for their employees.

It’s getting harder and hard-er for North American workers to find decent jobs to support their families and provide for their own health benefits and retirement.

“Ease of availability” and “freedom of choice” have long been used by the political right to justify things such as cigarette sales and a voucher system for schools. These arguments are

a clever way to push forward initiatives such as corner store liquor sales, which will bring profit to the few at the expense of decent wages and benefits for the many.

Yes, many of the corner stores are owned by hard-working individuals who would benefit from being able to sell liquor.

Most though, it seems to me, are now owned by oil compa-nies who are doing quite well, thank you, selling gasoline at prices that they control.

Let’s keep liquor sales where they belong, in well-managed LCBO stores with convenient locations and hours and where customers are served by help-ful/knowledgeable and fairly remunerated employees.

And let’s keep liquor sales profits where they belong – in government coffers where they can be used to pay down debt and fund public serves such as hospitals and schools.

Brian O’SullivanSTOUffVILLE

m often surprised by peo-ple’s attitudes toward the Canada Goose, a bird of which I always thought, based on its name alone,

we should be proud.I even worked for a time in Wawa,

Ont., the word Wawa meaning “Land of the Big Goose” (or so the locals told me — maybe they just saw me as some newb from down south they could tell anything to and he’d believe it).

If you’ve ever been up there, you’ll know they’ve erected a great big statue of a goose next to the high-way — which I think was essentially a marketing ploy to get motorists to pull into town a bit off the highway so some of their money might fly out of their wallets and into merchants’ cash registers.

The goose adorns all kinds of shops and bars in the town. The masthead of the newspaper I used to work for there featured a goose in flight, as did my business cards — a little pack of which I have kept all these years, even though I, too, eventually flew southward.

(I always thought they should change the name of the paper to the Wawa Gander, as in “take a Gander”. Although the paper was actually 50 cents and “buy a Gander” didn’t seem

Geese beautiful, but sometimes from a distance

to have the same ring to it.)Of course, marketing doesn’t always

work and many people I’ve spoken to are under the impression Wawa is a col-lection of gas stations near a giant goose statue, and not the town of 5,000 that’s actually just a kilometre or so up the road as the crow flies.

Closer to home, the Canada Goose has been the unofficial mascot of Main Street Markham for several years, with mini (by Wawa standards) goose statues all around. Although I’m sure some of the business owners are praying their business doesn’t fly south during an intense construction period along the street that started back in July.

All things being equal, it might do some good if those of us in need of shoes, clothes, furniture, a restaurant

meal, gifts or you name it, flock to their street this fall to help them out.

But back to the geese, as in the real live bird variety, not the statues.

Turns out there is such thing as too much of a goose thing, as many York Region residents and communities have come to believe.

A gaggle of geese waggling across the roadway is a common sight here.

(I always wonder if they are walk-ing so slowly across the road to make a point — as in, we’ve been here for mil-lions of years while you idiots invented cars and paved everything over within the last century, and we haven’t evolved to the point where we naturally evade automobiles. So you can darned well wait. Honk all you want.)

However, geese overrunning parks is also a common phenomenon, with goose calling cards by the thousands left in their wake.

Great fertilizer, I’m sure, but it can detract from us humans’ enjoyment of the urban outdoors.

A recent story by a York Region Media Group reporter noted a full-grown goose can eat up to three pounds of grass each day and defecate five times an hour, dropping two pounds of poop each day.

Enough said.It also turns out that geese aren’t

exactly “Canadian” in their demeanour

I’— if Canadian means being polite, opening the door for people, saying please and thank you.

In fact, the geese can be somewhat nasty to people and pets if cornered, which is maybe not the greatest public relations strategy when you are also doing a job on the lawn while doing a number on the lawn.

Which is why, friend or fowl, some communities have been forced to act.

In Richmond Hill, town staff on a weekly basis take part in “hazing” — that is, chasing the geese, sometimes using a dog — to make this protected species feel not so welcome.

They have also been reminding resi-dents to please not feed the fowl. Turns out those loaves of white bread aren’t good for birds, either. It makes them fat and lazy and turns them into “resident geese” — discouraging these naturally migrating birds from going anywhere.

Considering how unCanadian these birds seem to behave, maybe we should let the Americans deal with them for a spell — a least for the winter.

Yes, they are beautiful as little gos-lings or when they fly overhead in for-mation, but our parks and parkways can use a break every once in a while.

Taking part in tomorrow’s Terry Fox Run in Stouffville?

Here’s what you need to know:The Terry Fox Foundation has one goal — to

fund innovative cancer research.The foundation is one of the largest non-

governmental funders of cancer research within Canada. It is not associated with the Canadi-an Cancer Society or any other national cancer fundraising organization, according to the foun-dation.

Eighty-four cents of every dollar raised goes to cancer research. To date, the Terry Fox Founda-tion has raised more than $600 million for cancer research worldwide and it has funded 1,180 can-cer research projects.

Research highlights from 2011 include: trick-ing resistant cancer cells into committing suicide; discovering a gene that acts as a brake on breast cancer progression; discovering a potentially new leukemia treatment with an established anti-biotic and finding a genetic link between rare cancers.

The five-year relative survival rate is 63 per cent, which has increased by almost eight per-centage points between 1992 to 1994 and 2004 to 2006.

The relative survival rates are highest for thy-roid (98 per cent), prostate (96 per cent), testicular (95 per cent), melanoma (90 per cent), breast (88 per cent) and Hodgkin Lymphoma (85 per cent).

The run leaves from the Whitchurch-Stouffville Leisure Centre/Library at 1 p.m. Registration starts at noon. For details, call 905-640-4705.

The York Region District School Board has named Mike Cerullo teacher of the year. After 10 years at a school in Newmarket, he’s at the new Wendat Village school in Stouffville.

STAFF PHOTO/SJOERD WITTEVEEN

BY TERESA [email protected]

Mike Cerullo is the teacher others should strive to be.

The York Region District School Board recently named Mr. Cerullo teacher of the year and trustees, senior staff and colleagues honoured him at a board meeting.

The annual award, given to one elemen-tary and one secondary school teacher, rec-ognizes those who exemplify the board’s mission, vision and values as well as other practices that have made them so successful in the classroom and school, public board education director Ken Thurston said.

Mr. Thurston had the opportunity to see Mr. Cerullo in action after sitting in his class-room during the school day.

“Mike is an extraordinary teacher who exemplifies what we stand for at the school board,” he added. “He motivates his students with technology and has a talent for turning students on to literacy.”

In the spring, the school board put out a call to principals and school staff asking for nominations for the award, with criteria including a teacher who upholds the board’s values as well as offers innovative practices that improve achievement in the classroom.

Mr. Cerullo never thought, of all the out-standing teachers in the school board, he would be pegged as teacher of the year and when he received the letter informing him he had, he admits he had to take a step back to

let the information register.“Being named teacher of the year isn’t

really something you think about when you go to work,” he laughed.

He has taught for more than a decade, with his first 10 years as an intermediate grades teachers at Stuart Scott Public School in New-market. This year, he is teaching at the new Wendat Villlage Public School in Stouffville.

He doesn’t come from a long line of teach-ers in his family, but recognizes his parents were phenomenal teachers when it came to life skills. He credits his drive to become a teacher to those who believed in him and nurtured his self-confidence when he was in school.

“It’s kind of a way to give back and honour those great teachers I had in the past,” he said. “I want to play that same role in a student’s life.”

His secret to keeping the attention of a classroom full of fourth and fifth graders is to make the lesson relevant, ensuring students can use the information they learn. Using technology allows students to learn with tools they use every day and helps keeps their attention, as well.

Although he doesn’t really need a remind-er, he hangs a poster in his classroom that says ‘Do what you love’, hoping students will find the same inspiration he does in the four-word phrase.

“I have a passion for teaching,” he said. “I get to be who I want to be and feel blessed that I am in a position to help others.”

Teacher of year big on literacy, technology

The Stouffville Spirit knows what it feels like to shut out an opponent. It did that in its Ontario Junior Hockey League regular season opener against the Kingston Voyageurs, win-ning 3-0 Sunday.

The Spirit now knows what it feels like to be on the receiv-ing end.

Playing host to the arch-rival Newmarket Hurricanes Thursday, the Spirit offence drew blanks as they were blanked 5-0 for their first loss of the season.

Brandon Francisco deliv-ered a pair of third-period goals for the Hurricanes, including one on a power play just 59 seconds after the faceoff to start the stanza, and collected one assist.

Justin Malolino scored the game’s first goal on a power-play effort just past the mid-way point of the first period.

During the second period, the Spirit seemed to take the play to the Hurricanes and

for their efforts, thought they had the game-tying marker. But it was disallowed by the referees, who ruled the puck did not go over the red line, to the chagrin of the home-town fans.

That appeared to deflate the Spirit as the Hurricanes got a pair of unanswered markers from Daniel Leavens and Alex Bontje to take a 3-0 lead through 40 minutes.

Hurricanes’ veteran net-minder Matt Wintjes handled all 18 shots directed his way to post the shutout.

The Hurricanes directed 40 shots on Spirit netminder GianLuca Palmieri.

Spirit head coach Jeff Per-rin was disappointed his club did not give a carbon copy performance against a North Division rival.

“We didn’t have the effort like we did Sunday,” he said. “Maybe we felt too good about our win Sunday.”

What really concerned Perrin was his club’s work on the power play, which did not score in five extra-strength

The Stouffville Mennos and Aurora Shoeless Joe’s will require a third and deciding game to determine their Osha-wa City and District Fastball League quarter-final series.

Buoyed by a three-run first inning and a towering home run from Dan Colello, Aurora evened the series with an 8-2 win at Stouffville Memorial Park Thursday.

The Mennos won Game 1, 3-2, in Aurora Tuesday.The Mennos scored both of their runs in the fifth

inning generated by singles from Pete Dzilums, Shawn Boadway and Dale Boadway.

Aurora then gave up an error, passed ball and two wild pitches to allow both runs to score.

DeciDing game in aurora

During that same inning, the Mennos failed to cash in on some additional runs when with runners on second and third, designated player Greg Dalgarno hit a long fly ball to right field that was caught at the warning track.

The Mennos had their chances, loading the bases before hitting into a double play.

Travis Connor relieved starting pitcher Byron Bara-nieski in the fifth inning, surrendering four runs in the sixth inning.

Aurora pitcher and Stouffville resident Paul Koert, who was recently named to the national team, surrendered nine hits but picked up the win.

For the Mennos, Rich Burkholder, Shawn Boadway and Dzilums each had two hits. For Aurora, center fielder Mike Dambrosio had three hits.

The deciding game is tentatively is set for Aurora Tues-day at 8:30 p.m.

opportunities to go along with another eight chances they had in Sunday’s opener.

“We’re not moving the puck quick enough,” he said. “None of our passes are going tape to tape. And when we have chances to get a shot we decide to pass it. We seem to be looking for the perfect play.”

At the same time though, Perrin gave credit to the Hur-ricanes.

“They definitely outplayed us and they deserved the win,” he said.

About the only good thing

for the Spirit, now 1-1, is that it had an opportunity to turn things around quickly having a road game against the Pick-ering Panthers last night.

“It’s a good thing we can get back at it right away,” he said.

The Spirit is scheduled return to the Stouffville Arena to play the Cobourg Cougars Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
