“ Golf is 

deceptively 

simple and 

endlessly 

complicated; it 

satisfies the soul 

and frustrates 

the intellect. It is 

at the same time 

rewarding and 

maddening - 

and it is without 

a doubt the 

greatest game 

mankind has 

ever invented.”

Ontario Stewardship Rangers 

Program 

Seventeen year-old students from various local communities out of our 

district will be exposed to environmental projects throughout our local 

communities teaching them in the process what it means to be a steward of our natural environment. As the students 

will be entering their final year of high school in the fall this program is a way for them to get a feel for some of the 

work that takes place within the Ministry of Natural Resources and allows them to start thinking about whether the 

environmental field is something they may want to pursue in post-secondary school. 

August 9th-13th - The Rangers will be working at Vivian Creek Park building a connecting trail to a new bridge 

spanning Vivian Creek. Rangers will be trail blazing, mulching and brushing the trail during this process. Rangers may 

be assigned a few other tasks as well, but this is the primary focus of the work being done in E.G. The primary contact 

for this project is Grant McKeich at the Town of East Gwillimbury, 905-478-4282.

ON THE COVER: EVERY GOLFER’S DREAM 

In just his 3rd game of golf - Jack Varga, age 12, of Sharon, Ontario scored a Hole in One on the 7th hole, 

Par 3 at Shawneeki Golf Course to become the newest member of the Golf Association of Ontario’s Hole In 

One Club. Jack, golfing with his parents Cherylin & Steve Varga, used a 3 wood to ace the 117 yard hole. 

When advised by his parents how rare it was to accomplish this amazing feat, Jack profoundly stated: "Cool". 

Here are a few statistics from holeinone.com (a total of 23,770 registered hole in ones): 

My Worries Begin 

Average age of a hole in one golfer: 45 yrs. 

Number of years playing golf: 17 yrs. 

Percent of aces by: Male 84% Female 16% 

Average yardage of the aced hole: 150 yds. 

Club most used in making an ace: 7 iron 

What more can I say? Our daughter just got her G1.... wow! 

I immediately said on the way out of the test centre, “I’m not ready for this”. 

When I turned 16 (wasn’t that long ago), I said I would be in the next day 

for my learner’s permit... almost 10 years later I was still without a license. 

Growing up in the GTA, and working downtown Toronto the public transit system was the way 

to go and we walked a lot. Times have changed and for Sam growing up in the “country”, limits 

you. Moms and dads have to take you just about everywhere. 

Although, my heart skips a beat thinking my 16 year old would be on the big open road soon, I 

am grateful that they have to work a little harder to get there. The days are gone when you 

could have a driver’s license just a few days after your birthday. Our kids may not like it, but in 

the end they will be much better drivers because of it. So good luck to all of the G1’ers out 

there and I will keep an eye out for my fellow moms, who will be gripping the front dash along 

with me! 

The summer is a great time to get out on the road and see what’s happening in the 

community. Not only can you walk in your community, but there’s public transit in EG now too! 

Music at the Civic Square, a new Farmers’ Market, gardens and walking trails to admire, and a 

national historical site right here... get out and explore East Gwillimbury while the weather’s 

still hot! 

Take care – Christine Benns, Editor

Fit To Deliver – 

Information for 

Expectant and New 

Mothers 

by Melanie Jung 

Are you fit to deliver? You bet!! Your body was 

made for this, no worries! 

Pregnancy is a miraculous experience and display of 

the female body’s wisdom. The body, although 

naturally designed to experience the tugs and pulls 

and stretches of pregnancy, is certainly pushed to 

offer this function! 

Many women experience very similar signs and 

symptoms and sometimes musculoskeletal 

conditions such as pelvic misalignment, urinary 

incontinence (loss of urine during exercise, cough or 

sneeze, etc) joint pain and dysfunction, low back 

pain and sciatica. 

The Canadian Physiotherapy Association provided 

this statement: “Between 39% and 61% of women 

experience urinary incontinence during their first 

pregnancy, and half will remain incontinent at eight 

weeks postpartum. One-third of those not 

incontinent during pregnancy will develop 

incontinence after childbirth.” Pelvic floor exercises 

taught by a Physiotherapist, can prevent urinary 

incontinence. 

Pain of the pelvis and low back are also preventable 

before, during and after pregnancy with proper core 

exercise technique – no ladies, sit-ups do not 

suffice. 

You must heed the advice given by Joseph Pilates in 

his core exercise education – back “neutral”/straight 

and lower abdomen tight and flat (no sucking in!!) 

along with some other important points regarding 

the pelvic floor, your diaphragm and a muscle in 

your back called the Multifidus. 

Here is a description of proper initial core 

contraction. This must be held as these muscles are 


endurance muscles and thus, function with low 

contraction over long periods of time. They normally 

function by coming on automatically even before you 

begin movement! But can be retrained or strengthened 

with conscious effort. 

These are the muscles that get your lower abdomen flat. 

There are four muscles to be aware of to start: 

1. Transversus abdominis 

2. Diaphragm 

3. Pelvic Floor 

4. Multifidus 

Try this: 

In standing, side lying or on your hands and knees with 

your back straight. Take a small breath in, as you breath 

out draw your lower abdomen and belly button towards 

your spine (careful not to suck in). Also contract your 

pelvic floor lightly (as though stopping the flow of 

urine). Hold this tranversus abdominis contraction and 

resume regular breathing. If it is difficult to resume 

regular breathing then you may be exerting too much 

effort in your contraction of your pelvic floor or 

abdominal muscles or you are sucking in (or all of the 

above). This should feel like a low effort exercise no 

bearing down or sucking in and relax your buttocks 

as well. 

You know what? It takes practice and the effects are 

worth it! You WILL notice a decrease in back pain and 

with a guided progressive appropriate program you 

WILL notice your back pain disappear. 

A trained Physiotherapist in this area can help progress 

you further in a proper core exercise program and help 

relieve you of any of these discomforts and pain. 

Another quick note, (there are so many!!) Exercise is 

proven beneficial before, during and after pregnancy so 

even a walk will help! And you can practice your deep 

core while you walk. And this is also a good 

opportunity to get together with some fellow friends 

and mothers to chat! 

Any questions or comments, as a fellow mother and 

Registered Physiotherapist I am here for you!

Circles – Musing on Communities 

I loved talking to the ordinary people in our town but it is time for a change. I hope “Circles” will be that change 

and get me out meeting people and finding out what makes our area a good place to live. 

Since I have been traveling across Canada with only my trusty van and GPS to keep me company, I have spent 

a lot of time wondering about communities. I am writing this from a Manitoba Provincial Campground. Looking 

at it from a distance, it looks like a small village, there are gathering places and streets where people stay. I live 

at number 18 Breadon Bay in a small house on wheels. The neighbours on my street live in an assortment of 

homes, some on wheels and some close to the ground. They all seem like nice people who wave and say Hi when 

they see each other, and yet there is something missing. It is not a community. Why not? 

During the past year I have visited many cities, towns and villages. Some were isolated from the world by 

distance or water and mountainous terrain, while others looked much like my home in East Gwillimbury. I visited 

with many people from all walks of life. Just to mention a few, I stayed with a woman who was a BC Marriage 

Commissioner and joined families together. I also stayed with a doctor who had his office in his home but 

traveled often to outposts to bring them medical help, and I stayed with a man who squatted on his land, shopped 

for groceries in the dumpsters, and didn't pay taxes. He did however share what little he had with those in need. 

I was often hosted by folks who didn't feel connected to the geographic location in which they lived, but claimed 

to be members of online communities. I began to wonder what makes successful communities and how each 

person, no matter who they are, is important to that success. 

East Gwillimbury is comprised of Holland Landing, Sharon, Queensville and Mount Albert, along with a number 

of small country villages. We sit inside of York Region, which butts up against the GTA, tucked into Ontario, 

which claims a place in Canada. Can each of these be called a community? Does size matter? Can a real sense 

of belonging happen if you live in a mega city or does it work best in small, intimate groupings? 

While I was at York University a few years ago, I took a course about the way technology is changing the places 

we live. We talked about online communities, bedroom communities, and work and play communities. It seems 

you don't need to live in a place to call it your community, it doesn't even need to exist in the real sense. Can we 

belong to many communities? Is it the individual that makes the community or does the community support us 

in being individuals? 

As I write, I realize I have no answers to these questions. I am not a sociologist who would be able to pull a 

technical answer out of her hat. I am only a person who wonders. I wonder sometimes if life is like a pond with 

a stone dropped in the middle. As it sinks we see circles forming on the water. Each circle is separate and yet 

each is a part of the pond. Each one has an effect on the other and on its surroundings. As the ripples subside, 

we realize that without the stone, there would be no movement. Is that how communities work, separate and yet 

related, unique and diverse, with only the water in common? 

“Circles” will be an effort to look at some of these questions. I would like to see how the ripples connect. Our 

roots are firmly planted in rural village life. Does that change the way we think about where we live? How 

involved do we have to be to truly feel a part of the whole? What makes this a great place to raise children, to 


work and play, and to grow old? As the news portrays an 

uncertain world, how will our corner of the globe weather 

the storms to come? Are there new things that we have to 

consider? I don't have all the answers, heck, I am not even 

sure of all of the questions but I think, with your help I 

can bring these ideas to life each month. 

Reading back over the past couple of paragraphs I think 

this sounds like a serious undertaking, and yes, I suppose 

it has the potential to be, but most of all, I want to 

continue to look at the things that seem ordinary because 

they are such a part of our everyday lives. It should be fun 

and more than that, it might even remind us of how 

wonderful it is to live in this place at this time. 

I have already interviewed a few people and institutions 

that I think are integral parts of East Gwillimbury and 

will be writing about them over the next couple of 

months. Don't be shy, join me while I muse about the 

people, places and things that make this a special place. 

Who knows where it will go. Send your ideas or 

suggestions to bulletin@xplornet.com. Put the word 

‘Circles’ in the subject line.

SUMMER UPDATE... 

By Anne Hill 

hort happenings 

Congratulations to the 50 gardeners (listed in this 

issue, pg. 31), who have been awarded the Thumbs Up 

signs, which have sprung up in front gardens. The 

judges from MAGHS had the delightful job of touring 

all of East Gwillimbury making decisions based on 

what they saw that day. The gardens have been 

spectacular this year. Hostas in particular look 

wonderful as the hot dry spell in early spring seems to 

have killed the slugs. Have you noticed that some of the 

magnolia trees are blooming for a second time? 

This is the time of year when I revel in daylilies 

(pictured). My garden glows with dozens of varieties 

from the palest cream to 

deep, deep reds and 

purples, many with 

contrasting markings 

within the flower. Each 

flower only lasts a day, but 

the plant produces fresh 

blooms each morning. 

Another favourite of mine 

is the evening primrose 

sometimes known as a 

moonflower. Its bud pops 

open over the course of an 

hour or so in the evening to 

a dramatic yellow flower. 

Last week several of our 

members participated in a 

plant rescue, saving native 

plants from a woodlot which will be completely 

destroyed by the extension of Highway 404. Some of 

these plants have a new home in the woodland area of 

the Literacy Garden at the Holland Landing 

Community Centre. 

You’re invited to join us at our flower show and third 

annual member and community appreciation event on 

Tuesday, August 17, from 6:30pm – 8:30pm at the 

Mount Albert Community Centre, Main Street, Mount 

Albert. The United Church ladies will provide the 

refreshments - this is always a treat. This year we’ve 

added an invitational competition for area florists to 

strut their stuff. The florists have generously agreed to 

donate their creations as part of the silent auction. 

Prepare to be dazzled! 

As the summer winds down some of our perennials are 

ready to be divided. These excellent plants will be

Post Race Report: MT. ALBERT 5K 

SUBMITTED BY ELIZABETH GILLIS PHOTOS: PAULEEN HOME 

One hundred and ninety five racers pounded over the timing mats under the Running Room’s bright red inflated 

arch at the start of the Mount Albert 5km Run/Walk on Saturday, June 5. Teegan Warr, the Mount Albert Sports 

Day Junior Ambassador started the race with a loud blast on her horn. The route took the racers through the 

business and residential sections of Mount Albert and along a scenic, rolling, country road past farmers fields, 

donkeys, and draught horses. The lead racers followed cyclist Kelly Cullen of Spoke O’Motion pulling her year 

old son Seamus behind her. Seamus wasn’t the youngest to participate. We noticed several other racers pushing 

tiny, sleeping babies in running prams. One of the exciting aspects of the race was the number of young racers 

under the age of twelve and the 14 to 19 age category was hotly contested. At the extreme, was racer Perrie 

Rintoul, aged 85. The nice thing about the Mount Albert 5km is that it quietly encourages runners and walkers 

of all ages and abilities and with an overall male winner, Paulo Carvalho, at 17:37 minutes, and female, Sarah 

Nagy, at 18:01 minutes the racers are no slouches. The winning male and female racers from Mount Albert 

were Jason Shaw and Frances Connolly each of whom also received a special prize. 

Fitness trainer Jill Watson from Body Design warmed up the racers before the start, and after the race York 

Physiotherapy gently massaged stretched muscles back to normal. There was plenty food on hand to re-fuel 

the racers including COBBS bread, Kawartha Dairy Company’s chocolate milk, and fruit from Foodland and 

Vince’s Markets. Coffee from Starbucks added the necessary spike to get racers going, and water from Fresh 

Water quenched their thirst en route and at the end. A sponsor board proudly advertised the names of all of 

the sponsors including gold sponsors Body Design, Beaverbrook Homes and Farquarson’s Realty. Bob 

Patterson entertained the little children with balloon creations while the Mount Albert Public School Band 

struck up a medley loud enough to keep even the most exhausted racer awake. 

A wide array of prizes was given out, including age category medals, and participant ribbons to all racers under 

the age of 14. The highlight of the prizes was a draw for a Norco Scrambler bike donated by Spoke O’Motion. 

The 17 year old boy who won the bike will never forget the 8th annual Mount Albert Sports Day Run/Walk! 

Of course, some things did go wrong; a fire engine pushed its way past police barricades to turn on to the finish 

stretch just as the lead racers were barreling home; and then there was the “interrupted” count down at the start 


ecause the barriers hadn’t been removed. But these 

are country stories and play their part in making the 

race unique. 

The 5km race was part of the 85th Mount Albert Sports 

Day which started in 1925 with a parade, ball games, 

horseshoe pitching, races and other sports, which are 

continued and added to today. Racers had free 

admission to the fair grounds and the thrilling rides. 

Mount Albert is a small, grass roots community, within 

an hour of Toronto and relatively untouched by the 

rapid development of areas further south. It is this 

aspect that many racers enjoy; the relaxed and fun 

atmosphere of a country race. 

Mark next year’s race on June 4, 2011 on your 

calendars now. We’ll look forward to seeing you there!

decorating 

I’m bored, can we redecorate my room? con’t... 

I love this time to catch up on overdue projects and tidying my space before the fall market starts up again. This 

is a great time that I can spend with my redesign clients and help get their spaces looking great. Back in March I 

had a particular client that was about 11 years old (my daughter) who wanted her room redecorated. We worked 

on creating a more dramatic “tween” room as described back in the March issue of The Bulletin. 

As many of you may know already, the prep for a redecorating project is a big part. Luckily this time we had extra 

help with a vested interest in getting this project started. The wallpaper was the biggest hurdle that we encountered. 

Scoring, spraying and stripping the paper off was time consuming, but well 

worth the work. While dad was sanding and priming the walls we decided 

to head out and choose fabric for the draperies. We spent endless hours 

looking through fabric books with Kathy - some were too plain, too 

busy, too bumpy and even too smooth. My daughter finally 

picked a chartreuse green fabric with a geometric circle pattern 

that is sought after in many designs these days. 

Photo above: Carpet is gone, new 

hardwood in place, wallpaper is gone, fresh 

paint completed!!! A little 45 degree angle 

on the desk. 

The next step was to find twin bedding that worked with 

the curtains. We shopped till we dropped and finally found 

a branch like pattern with an off white background. This 

bedding complimented the room because it kept the 

space light and airy. The flooring was an easy pick 

because we continued the flooring from the hallway into 

the bedroom with a maple hardwood. To pull it all 

together we chose a complimentary shade of purple 

(Benjamin Moore lavender lipstick #2072-50) which 

completed the room’s updated look. We visually 

connected the space with a shaggy carpet and comfort 

under foot. Accessories included shiny chrome finishes in 

the lamps and pops of green painted on the cork board and 

a small cabinet anchored the chartreuse green curtains. 

“This room is cozy, warm and fun to be in. I love having my 

friends over to hang and relax. The fact that I got to pick most of 

my stuff for my room really allowed me to show my mom what I 

liked, what style fits me and what I am all about.”

S.O.S. for Gardens 

Where did you go with your last 

question about plants or pests? Big 

box garden centres are more than 

happy to sell you the latest new 

product. Neighbours and friends may 

offer advice based on personal 

experience, but what are their 

credentials? Did you know that you 

can get expert advice from a certified 

Master Gardener, and it’s free? 

Master Gardeners are trained 

volunteers, certified horticultural 

experts who provide information and 

education to home gardeners. In 

Ontario, they are a part of Master 

Gardeners of Ontario, Inc. (MGOI), a 

non-profit service organization 

committed to providing non-biased, 

science-based information through 

clinics, demonstrations and 

presentations in your community. 

Are weeds invading your lawn? Do 

you have a lovely plant that you don’t 

know how to prune? Do you want to 

start a native shrub garden to attract 

colourful butterflies and songbirds? 

What’s bugging your vegetable 

garden? Ask a Master Gardener! He 

or she will guide you with 

sustainable options based on the 

most current horticultural research. 

With Ontario’s ban on pesticides, it’s 

no longer acceptable to grab the 

powder or spray that’s been sitting in 

the garage for several years. Master 

Gardeners can provide you with 

suggestions for better ways to 

manage pests, build healthy soil, and 

maintain a beautiful yard. At the 

same time, you will be keeping the 

earth, air and water table poison-free. 

You can talk with a Master Gardener 

at garden clinics held at many local 

events such as fairs and farmers’ 

markets. Watch for workshops and 

presentations hosted by libraries, 

municipalities, and even nurseries. 

Many Master Gardener groups also 

maintain phone or email help lines to 

offer answers to your gardening 

questions. Some groups provide 

radio and TV phone-in-programs as 

well as news articles on 

gardening issues. 

The Master Gardener organization 

got its start in 1972 in response to an 

overwhelming number of requests 

for gardening information in the 

western state of Washington, USA. 

Here in Ontario, the Ministry of 

Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs 

(OMAFRA) initiated a provincial 

program in 1985. When OMAFRA’s 

funding support ended in 1996, 

Master Gardeners of Ontario, Inc. 

was incorporated as a non-profit 

organization. MGOI’s partners now 

include Landscape Ontario, the 

Vineland Research Institute and 

Canada Blooms. 

Barbara Evans, Coordinator of LSSMG, at the Markham Farmers' Market 

There are currently 38 local groups 

providing horticultural advice across 

Ontario. The Lake Simcoe South 

Master Gardener group (LSSMG) 

serves the York Region area. Our 

members are familiar with the issues 

you may have in your garden, so 

when you have a gardening question, 

ask a local Master Gardener! 

We would love to 

hear from you.

Government 

Implements New 

Drinking And Driving 

Measures 

Ontario is making the province's roads safer for all 

Ontarians with new changes that will help protect 

young and novice drivers. 

Starting August 1: 

All drivers 21 years of age and younger must have a 

zero blood alcohol level when they get behind the 

wheel or face: 

An immediate 24-hour licence suspension 

30-day licence suspension 

Up to $500 in fines 

Drivers in the Graduated Licensing System will face 

tougher penalties if they violate the conditions of 

their licence or if they are convicted of any Highway 

Traffic Act offences that carry four or more demerit 

points. Penalties include: 

30-day licence suspension for the first instance 

90-day licence suspension for a second instance 

Further instances can lead to a cancellation of the 

licence and other penalties. 

Also, effective August 3, eligible drivers convicted of 

an impaired driving offence for the first time, will be 

able to reduce their licence suspension if they agree 

to have an ignition interlock device installed in their 

vehicle, at their own cost. This will help impaired 

drivers change their behaviour to prevent them from 

becoming repeat offenders. 

These changes are part of the Road Safety Act 2009 

and 2007's Safer Roads for a Safer Ontario Act and 

will help keep drivers safe on Ontario roads. 

QUICK FACTS 

The peak ages of drinking and driving collisions are 

19, 20 and 21. 

In Ontario, 235 drivers age 21 and under were killed 

in drinking and driving collisions in the latest 10-year 

period for which statistics are available. 

Crashes involving drivers suspended for a drinking 

and driving conviction are 3.4 times more likely to 

be fatal.

Park Renovations & “NEW” Splash Pad 

The Town completed a town-wide study to develop a Community Parks, Recreation & Culture Master Plan Study 

in fall of 2008 with the goal to articulate the planning and developmental needs and priorities associated with 

recreation programs, facilities, culture, parks, trails and open space. The result of these analyses are over eighty 

strategic actions. One of the actions identified in the plan was the upgrade and renovation of existing park 

facilities and in particular facilities within the Holland Landing area, specifically Holland Landing Community 

Centre Park, Parkway Park (formerly River Drive Park) Grist Mill Park and Sunset Green Space. These parks

Speaking of Childhood... 

by Crystal Eves 

Last Saturday, for the very first time, I sent my youngest son off to overnight camp. It was a bittersweet 

moment, as these milestones tend to be, leaving me rather reflective as we drove away. I thought about the 

passage of time, about the course of his young life, and mostly I realized that certain aspects of his growth 

are now established beyond my ability to alter them. 

If I missed specific opportunities to influence him in those formative years, they will remain missed forever 

and for some things this is very, very good because I was thinking that there were a few extremely odd things 

I could have done but didn't. 

For one, I didn't train him to make bizarre word choices, as much as I might have found that amusing. 

It would have been such a simple tendency to instill too. If, for example, each time I referred to the outside 

I had called it 'the great outdoors', he would have thought that normal and adopted it as a matter of course. 

The term is essentially accurate, just unusual for everyday use. 

Along those same lines, I could have taught him to call jeans 'long pants', teeth 'mini tusks' and people 'souls'. 

When asking a question I might have trained him to use the word 'perchance'. But I didn't, even though it's 

the kind of thing that crosses my mind. 

And as long as I'm talking about words, why is it that we still use the term 'landlord'? Isn't that a bit 

antiquated? Just because someone owns land that they rent out, I don't see why they should be called a 'lord'. 

If it makes sense that we do, then I think in fairness we should also call other people lords. 

The guy pumping my gas could be the 'fuel-lord'. Teachers should be the 'learning-lords'. As the matriarch of 

my house I think I should be called the 'womb-lord'. 

Would that be too strange? 

Probably- which is why I restrained myself from saying what I was really thinking before we left my son at 

camp, and that was, "Be nice to the other souls, don't forget to clean your mini tusks and give your womblord 

a kiss before you head off into the great outdoors." 

Instead I just said, "Have fun, kiddo!" and he replied, rather annoyed that we stayed an hour before we left, 

"I will, I will. Can you go already!" 

I have his best interest at heart and he's growing more independent. We both said the right thing.

Help Prevent Turtle Deaths 

On Roads 

Ontario's snapping turtles are struck and killed by motor 

vehicles every year. Turtle populations are already under 

stress due to wetland loss and habitat degradation. Road 

mortality adds another significant stress that puts the 

species in jeopardy. 

During the spring and summer, the threat of vehicles to 

turtles is at its highest. This is especially true for females 

as they wander away from water in search of nesting sites. 

Some even try to nest on gravel roads or on the shoulders 

of paved roads. 

What Can Drivers Do? 

· Watch the road carefully when 

you're driving, especially 

where the roads are close to 

wetlands and rivers. 

· Remember that turtles 

don't move very 

quickly, and their first 

response to danger is to 

pull into their shells. 

· If it’s safe to do so, you can help by moving a turtle off 

the road in the direction it was heading. 

About Ontario’s Native Turtles 

· There are eight species of turtles in Ontario, seven of 

which are considered species at risk under the province’s 

Endangered Species Act. 

· Turtles live a long time – some can live 90 years 

or longer! 

· Some turtles don’t start to lay eggs until they are 20 or 

more years old. Since surviving turtles can’t lay extra 

eggs to make up for the adults that have been killed, it is 

difficult to reverse the trend once a population starts 

to decline.

IN THE KITCHEN 

Summer Sipping 

One of my favourite summertime pleasures is 

sitting outside, enjoying a cool drink. Here are 

two of my favourites, depending on who is 

joining me and what time of day it is. The 

strawberry lemonade is perfect throughout the 

afternoon. Family and friends of all ages will 

enjoy this unusual take on the summer classic. 

The sangria is a great choice for happy hour, 

served with nibbles on the deck. 

Strawberry Lemonade 

A simple recipe with a simple equation. 

Strawberries + Lemonade = Summer. Local, 

ever-bearing strawberries are available and are 

super sweet. 

1 cup ripe strawberries 

1 cup fresh lemon juice 

2/3 cup fruit sugar (instant dissolving) 

2 cups cold water 

1/3 cup whipping cream 

Ice cubes 

In a food processor, puree the strawberries until 

smooth. Pour into a large pitcher. Strain the 

lemon juice and add to the pitcher. Add the 

sugar and whisk until it is dissolved. Add the 2 

cups water and the cream and stir to combine. 

Fill glasses with ice. Pour the lemonade over 

the ice. Garnish with extra strawberries, cut in 

half and wedged on to the rim of each glass. 

Serve immediately. Store any extra lemonade 

in the refrigerator. Serves 4. 

Summer Sangria 

Nectarines are a great stand in for peaches and 

there is no need to peel them beforehand. 

1 cup ripe peaches, peeled and sliced 

½ cup fresh raspberries 

2 Tbsp fresh mint leaves, packed 

¼ cup berry sugar (instant dissolving) 

1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 

750 mL bottle Ontario dry white wine, chilled 

1 cup peach schnapps 

1 cup sparkling water or club soda 

Ice cubes 

Place the peaches, raspberries, mint, sugar, 

lemon juice, and wine in a blender and puree 

until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine 

sieve into a large glass pitcher. Before serving, 

stir in the sparkling water or club soda and 

garnish with additional raspberries. Serve very 

cold, over ice. Serves 4.

U10 BOYS - EG TALONS 

2010 AYSC CAN-AM CHAMPIONS 

CONGRATULATIONS to the Under 10 Boys Rep 

East Gwillimbury Talons who earned the title 

CAN-AM CHAMPIONS on July 11, 2010 at the 

Aurora Youth Soccer Club Weekend Tournament. 

Friday night brought their only loss of the tournament, 

gracing the host team, the Aurora Stingers T1 with a 

2-0 win over our Talons. Saturday’s games really got 

the ball rolling securing two wins: a 7-1 victory over 

the Lake Simcoe Fury and a 4-1 win over the Wexford 

Stingers. The boys completed their preliminary round 

placing second in their division and advanced to the 

semi-finals Sunday morning. 

The first placed Division 2 team, the Richmond Hill 

Raiders were hungry to advance, but the Talons had 

different plans and eliminated them with a 4-3 victory 

– a satisfying win as it was the Raiders that eliminated 

our Talons in semi-finals during a tournament earlier 

this season. The parallel semi-final game went into 

overtime between Oshawa & Aurora. Oshawa came out 

on top which meant an upset in both semi-final games 

with the first placed teams eliminated from 

competition while the second placed teams advanced 

to the Tournament Finals. 

Talons Head Coach, Jeff Grasby led the boys through a 

very intense game against the Oshawa Turals in the 

Tournament Finals. Our Talons scored early and never 

let go of their lead. The last three minutes of the game 

seemed as though they would never end for the fans on 

the sidelines, but the Talons successfully defended their 

net (our goalie, Michael Aloise ROCKS!) and when the 

referee blew his whistle – the final score was 3-2 for 

our EG Talons!! 

A special thank you goes out to all our AMAZING 

parents, grandparents, siblings & friends that came out 

to support our U10 Talons at the Can-Am Tournament 

and throughout our 2010 season! They earned their 

own photo with the Can-Am Cup!!

Identifying the Mystery Crop 

What's Growing ON? 

(NC)—There are over 20,000 soybean farmers in Ontario and about 2 million acres of 

soybeans grown in the province every year. With that much land devoted to this crop, it's 

likely you've driven by a field without even knowing it. 

Soybean plants grow thick and bushy with wide round leaves and colourful flowers that 

produce their seeds in pods, just like other beans. The flowers on a soybean plant are small and are nearly impossible 

to see from the road. 

The plants grow to be 2 and 3 ½ feet tall when mature, and depending how far apart they are planted, soybean fields 

will have visible rows or just look like a sea of green leaves. Just before harvest, soybean plants dry out, turn yellow, 

and the leaves fall off, leaving the bean pods exposed on the plant and ready to be harvested by the combine. 

After the fall harvest soybeans are sold to food companies that soak the beans whole to make soy beverages and tofu, 

or crush them to separate the oil from the high protein meal. The oil can be used for cooking or powering cars and 

the meal is used as a high protein food for animals. You may have eaten edamame, typically at sushi restaurants. 

Edamame is young soybeans, harvested while still green, then boiled and salted. 

With 2.3 million tonnes of soybeans grown in Ontario every year, you will almost certainly drive by a few fields this 

summer. Go to whatsgrowingon.ca to learn more.
