Tests show radiation
level minute in park waste
BY ADAM MC [email protected]
Redevelopment work resumes this week at Tannery Park, following a stoppage in con-struction after a radiation scare.
According to Doug Morris, the town’s man-ager of construction, traces of radiation were discovered in old playground equipment removed from the park and taken to Miller Waste Systems for disposal.
The radiation level was later tested and determined to be low and of no health risk to park patrons, construction workers or nearby residents.
Miller performs regular screenings for any toxins, as the waste material it collects is often sent across the American border for disposal, said Mr. Morris.
Miller Waste senior vice-president Blair McArthur confirmed a load of waste material did come through via a town sub-contractor and did contain traces of radiation.
“Basically, we told them to take it back, because this stuff would be stopped at the border,” said Mr. McArthur this week.
“We have since had a guy go out with a gei-ger counter to test the equipment and a load of soil. The levels are good,” he added.
The traces of radiation aren’t believed to be caused by any kind of spill or lingering chemi-cals from the tannery that once sat on or near the land in the 1860s.
The town took nine initial radiation tests of the playground equipment and surround-ing land at different depths. The park is in the southwest corner of town near Bathurst Street

A new regional French high school is on track to open this week.
Ecole secondaire Richmond Hill is under construction on Wright Street in the down-town core, on the site of the former Rich-mond Hill High School.
Portions of the heritage building are incorporated into the new facility, which will open Tuesday to French-speaking students in grades 7 through 9.
Under the regional Ontario French school board — Conseil Scolaire Viamonde — the school will take in students from most of York Region, including Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, King, Aurora, Newmarket, East
Gwillimbury and Whitchurch-Stouffville.It will be fed by two York Region elemen-
tary schools, Académie de la Moraine in Oak Ridges and Vaughan’s École élémentaire La Fontaine.
School board spokesperson Jonathan Bouchard confirmed the doors will open for the first day of school.
The $12-million, three-storey facility will also boast environmentally conscious tech-
nology, including the reduction of electric-ity consumption, heating and ventilation by placing sensors in offices and classes.
In the past week, the front entranceway has been paved and finishing touches are being done inside and outside the facility.
The former Richmond Hill High School opened its Wright Street doors in 1922, then in 2000, students and teachers moved north, to its current location.
The principal of the new French high school is Joanne Shank. To register, call 905-637-5695 or visit the website http://ecolesec-ondairerichmondhill.csviamonde.ca

Hungarian cookout goes back to basicsBY JEREMY GRIMALDI
here is nothing quite like taking it back to the old school — by that I mean the real old school, so old school that you could almost call
it medieval.I’m referring to cooking outdoors, as many
of our forefathers did, over an open flame.Ideally, in this case, it should be done near
a river, beside a lake, underneath a tree or close to a forest.
If all of this natural luxury is not available, a back yard will do.
It also helps to be surrounded by your closest friends and relatives with plenty of booze handy, to help everyone appropriately grasp and delve into the old-fashionedness of the event.
This custom is almost unheard of in Can-ada, but in Hungary and much of Eastern Europe, the tradition of cooking outdoors remains common.
On a number of occasions, I have par-taken in these bogracs and it has remained in my consciousness ever since.
When I called Ferenc Sarkozy, owner and head chef of Rhapsody Hungarian Restau-rant in Richmond Hill, he laughed heartily — reminiscing about olden days in front of the cauldron the Magyar still use to make their goulash soup.
“We used to do this all the time,” he said. “Now, my kid would look at me like I’m crazy if I asked him to do this or eat goulash cooked in this way. He is Canadianized and likes burgers and hot dogs on a barbecue. Even so, I still go out with my brother and closest friends once in a while, but not nearly enough.”
For him, cooking outside is not only a great way to be surrounded by your friends, but also a much more interesting way to cook.
“When you cook inside, you know exactly what’s going into your food,” he said.
“It’s when you get outside that you really feel free and that things change and you cre-ate new things.
“The recipe can change with the wind. It provides the freedom of choice.”
For Mr. Sakozy, the tradition started in his early teens at his cottage in Velence, Balaton, one of the small villages surrounding Hun-gary’s most popular lake region.
“Back in the day before I was a chef, at about 14, that’s what we loved to do,” the 38-year-old Vaughan resident said. “My dad and I would go fishing, catch and clean the fish and cook it all up, whether we barbecued it, made fish soup, fish stew, bean goulash or goulash.”
According to Mr. Sarkozy, any good day out starts with some traditional peach palin-
If you want your stew spicy, a spoonful of chilly paprika can be added.
After about one more hour of cooking and testing the meat for preparedness, the stew is ready to serve along with a big loaf of white crusty bread and more wine.
When you’re done the mouthwatering stew and all the alcohol in your belly has been soaked up, it is time once again to start drink-ing and making the ritual post-meal snack, called szalonnasütés, or bacon roasting.
For this, a number of sticks are gathered and the tips sharpened to pierce thick bacon slices and a peeled onion.
The drippings from this concoction are caught with bread.
Once the bacon is slow roasted, it is sliced, placed onto the bread and, if done right, very heartily savored.
Please enjoy responsibly and obey all local bylaws, where applicable.
Jó étvágyat (Hungarian for bon appetit)!
Cookouts have been part of Hungarian culture for centuries. Meats, fish, vegetables — and palinka — play a part in the majestic feasts.
ka, Hungarian for peach schnapps.After that gets the “blood flowing”, the
next step is to build a small fire surrounded by round stones.
Then the soup, as any should, begins with olive oil and three large onions. Once the onions are sufficiently sautéed, three wooden spoons of dry Hungarian paprika, along with some salt and pepper, should be added. Next comes about two pounds of chopped cubes of beef, three white Hungar-ian paprika peppers, two tomatoes and two cups of water.
The next step must be undertaken with caution, bearing in mind the amount of palinka or flavoured vodka your friends have already ingested.
Although there is only one man (always a man in Hungary) who holds the spoon, tastes the soup, controls the ingredients and keeps the wolves from the door, there can be many vegetable choppers.
Those interested and capable should be recruited to chop up an entire celery and three large carrots.
Each should be congratulated with more palinka, according to Mr. Sarkozy.
After 30 minutes of cooking, add 1-1/2 litres of water.
Next, slow cook a cup of red wine, prefer-ably Hungarian “bull’s blood”, and add it to the stew.
The rest is immediately consumed around the fire. Those still able to do so are to cut five large potatoes into cubes.

and Weldrick Road.Each reading showed radiation,
albeit at harmless levels, said Mr. Morris, adding the radiation source has been determined to be some-thing known as NORM or naturally occurring radiation measurements.
The town doesn’t normally test its playground equipment for radia-tion, though it does screen for 85 other chemicals, such as lead and
barium.“This is the first time I have ever
experienced something like this in my career,” said Mr. Morris.
“And while radiation is a bad word and alarm bells go off, the level we found at Tannery Park would be similar to a spoonful of earth in your own back yard or anywhere across Richmond Hill,” he added.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Form citizen think tank on observatory lands
As a graduate of the University of Toronto, I am ashamed to think the so-called non-profit institute of higher learning behaved as it did with the Dunlap Observatory lands.
U. of T. gladly accepted property the Dunlap family bequeathed to it for astronomical use in 1935. Then, when U. of T. no longer wanted the observa-tory for such use, it sued the Dunlap heirs for absolute title.
After a four-year case before the Ontario Superior Court, absolute title of the observatory and surrounding land was granted to U. of T. Now owning absolute title, it was at liberty to sell the property — which it did.
Now the judicial history of the Dun-lap property is under scrutiny at the ongoing Ontario Municipal Board hear-ing, designed to determine the prop-erty’s ultimate fate.
One expert witness testified last week U. of T. sale was “a business deci-sion, not an academic one.” Indeed.
The sale of property the Dunlap fam-ily had bequeathed to U. of T. — which brought $70 million to the university, a taxpayer-funded institute — has led to a costly struggle for us, the same taxpayers, to settle with the developer and repatriate some of the land for public use.
Without the tireless energy and commitment of Karen Cilevitz, chair-person of the David Dunlap Observa-tory Defenders (DDOD), Metrus/Cor-sica would probably have proceeded to build 833 condos and townhouses on the site.
Thanks to Ms Cilevitz and the com-mittee, an interim settlement was reached in April.
According to the settlement, an agreement was reached that the devel-oper would put forward a proposal to build only 530 residences, leaving 111 of the 189 acres in public hands.
One of the eight groups designated as “parties” in the hearing opposed the interim settlement, which necessitated a full OMB hearing.
The hearing will conclude in early September, at which time the adjudi-cator will rule on the final outcome of these precious lands.
Their eventual fate will soon be determined.
What public use could the land be put to?
I know many residents of Richmond Hill are excited about possible uses of the site and I suggest the establishment of a citizen think tank.
If two heads are better than one, 200,000 are surely better than two.
Frann HarrisRICHmOND HILL
mEmBER OF DAVID DUNLAp OBSERVATORy DEFENDERS
to have a common vision that looks at what Richmond Hill will look like in the next 50 years.
Taking a drive past the old South-brook Farms, where a Tim Hortons, medical centre and some other build-ings now sit, is a reminder of how quickly green space gets irrevocably converted into bricks and mortar. I nearly choked on my coffee one day last year when I realized I was sipping it on the old pumpkin patch lands!
I don’t think we have truly consid-ered the dearth of trees and the effect on air quality by removing green space.
Can U. of T. be sued for dumping the lands to the fastest bidder? Can the original sale be made null and void? Can we have a referendum on the issue of development on observatory lands?
It is hard to hold the vision of a pro-tected observatory site and be witness to negotiations for less.

I hope OMB will support observatory settlement Re: Deafening silence tells observatory story, column by Marney Beck, Aug. 15.
I am very interested in the observa-tory and have followed the story closely for years. I am a member of the David Dunlap Observatory Defenders and commend the leadership, especially Karen Cilevitz, for all they have done
OMB negotiations disappointing so farRe: Deafening silence tells observatory story, column by Marney Beck, Aug. 16.
The issues with the David Dunlap Observatory lands are coming up to the fifth anniversary of when the University of Toronto announced it planned to sell the property. It has been five long years for residents waiting to determine the outcome, not knowing the right time to protest or put faith in the process.
With all the development applica-tions and town meetings the last few years, residents have had to become urban planning specialists to keep up with the drastically changing landscape we call home.
I am disappointed with the results of the Ontario Municipal Board negotia-tions to date. I don’t agree with the view we need to be realistic about the lands and the need to negotiate building with Corsica.
I don’t think we need a Stonehenge or a butterfly conservatory, either. A few park benches, some maintenance of the land and some restoration of the 100-year-old trees Corsica/Metrus ille-gally cut down during the town’s review process would suffice — the plot of land at Bayview and Weldrick, where the old trees were cut, is a gaping eyesore — in addition to selling 100 per cent of the lands back to Richmond Hill.
I think this town’s councillors need
to protect this landmark of which all of Ontario should be proud. They took a brave step with mediation and likely 111 acres will be saved, plus buildings. Well done.
I imagine the DDO Defenders would have preferred the whole site be saved but the settlement they signed must have been the best deal they knew could have come out of mediation. I hope the OMB will see that, too.
I have attended the OMB hearings and have one observation: It seems the witnesses for the Richmond Hill Natu-ralists are not well-prepared, with one admitting to not writing his own witness statement. Strange, to say the least.
I also wonder how the provincial gov-ernment would explain why it has not done everything it should to protect the observatory. It is our history. The offer of a loan with interest is a disgrace and I hope they pay for it at the next election.

Support hospital, don’t criticizeI am dismayed at the naiveté and
short-sightedness as I read through comments made by critics of our new Mackenzie Health.
To say the public was not consulted is completely untrue. As a resident it was hard not to hear about the mandate to build a new hospital, manage both under one executive and to participate in the process through the many com-munity forums that have been held.
The truth is that many prefer to point fingers at others after the fact, as opposed to lending a hand along the way.
To say “hundreds of thousands of dollars” were spent on “rebranding” is also completely misleading. Our tax dol-lars are being spent on a total transfor-mation of health care delivery in York Region — a desperately needed trans-formation, I might add. The creation of a new name and identity is only part of the equation and necessary for all of us to move forward.
I wonder if the critics have even both-ered to look at the new strategic direc-tion Mackenzie Health is taking and the milestones reached to date.
I applaud hospital leadership for hav-ing the courage to pull York Central Hos-pital out of the past and transforming it into a place where the best will want to work.
Only through attracting and retaining the best health care providers can we deliver the best in care. When we deliver the best in care, fundraising follows.
While I completely agree we need to manage public funds responsibly, I believe the investments being made in our new health system will pay us back many times over in the future.
I encourage fellow residents to take a longer view and lend a helping hand.

Famous, historic cemetery will be celebratedA cemetery celebration more
than 200 years in the making will be held in our community Sept. 8.
The Richmond Hill Presbyterian Church Cemetery Celebration Day will feature a rededication of the 206-year-old cemetery, which is a provincial heritage site and reposi-tory of two centuries of the town’s history.
As the cemetery is important not just to church members but to the wider community, the doors of the church and the cemetery will be thrown open to welcome history buffs, families and, indeed, every-one in Richmond Hill.
From 9 to 11 a.m. there will be a pancake breakfast served, plus tables set up selling books, baked goods and jewelry.
At 11:30 a.m., the official rededi-cation ceremony will be held involv-ing Rev. Duncan Jeffrey, Rev. Dr. Ted Olson and Mayor Dave Barrow.
Following the rededication, walking tours will be conducted until about 2 p.m. through the cem-etery to view prominent gravesites.
Many distinguished citizens were buried at the cemetery, among them David Dunlap Observatory astronomer Frank Hogg; Colonel David Bridgeford, who participated in the 1837 Rebellion; and Abner Miles, one of the founders of Rich-mond Hill who died in 1806 and is buried in one of the oldest graves of
the cemetery.The celebration event is present-
ed by the Richmond Hill Presbyte-rian Church board of trustees. The trustees are volunteers responsible for the upkeep and operation of the cemetery on a daily basis.
The church is located at 10066 Yonge St., just a few driveways north of Major Mackenzie on the west side.
Richmond Hill Public Library digital documents on historic cemeteries of South York Region (http://edrh.rhpl.richmondhill.on.ca/cemeteries/cemetery.asp?CID=RHPresCem) show that the cemetery has many distinguish-ing features.
One rare and unusual feature is its octagonal vault, or dead-house, built in 1863. Octagonal buildings including houses, barns, school-houses and vaults were briefly popular in the mid-19th century in North America, however, very few examples of any type remain in Ontario.
The oldest documented burial in the cemetery is that of Abner Miles, a founding citizen who died in 1806, although local tradition suggests that an aboriginal Canadi-an was buried there prior to Miles’ interment.
Library documents state that the land the cemetery now occupies was originally one of several prop-
erties owned by Mr. Miles, deed-ed to the church by his son James Miles and eventually purchased by the church elders from James Miles’ heirs in 1840, as the younger Miles had neglected to sign the deed.
WHO IS BURIED THERE?Although the cemetery is associated with the Presbyterian Church, the burials are not limited to church members. Among the notable burials in Richmond Hill Presbyterian Cemetery:
• Abner and James Miles
• Rev. William Jenkins, first Presbyterian minis-ter from 1817 to 1843
• Reverend James Dick, Presbyterian minister from 1847 to 1877, first chairman of the Rich-mond Hill Public Library Association
• Benjamin Barnard, schoolmaster, who is sometimes credited with naming Richmond Hill after the song “The Lass of Richmond Hill”
• Colonel David Bridgeford, who accompanied Colonel Robert Moodie on his ill-fated ride down Yonge Street to warn the government during the 1837 Rebellion
• Thomas Kinnear and Nancy Montgomery, Richmond Hill’s most famous murder victims, buried in unmarked graves in the southwest corner of the cemetery and immortalized in the book by Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace.
