T URkEY DELI! DRUMS SMOkED WHAT'S COOkIN' AT THE York Chair Wayne Emmerson and Mayor Justin Altmann chat at chamber of commerce event Monday. jUMBOWINGS $ 7 | Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, February 4, 2016 O RANGES Town staff turnover STAFF PHOTO/SANDRA BOLAN To fully experience the Neanderthal aspects of this Sunday's big game, you'll need one (or more) of these. Nothing dainty here, just pick them up and chew. I know that these are available at some of the stateside games to make tailgates complete, but a lot more creative things can be done with these in your own kitchen. Featured at EAch While quantities last. We'll start with our Potato, Ham & Egg Salad. We use red and white potatoes, diced ham, celery, Roma tomatoes with a mustard mayo dressing. It's very good! Reg. $1.49/100g 1/3 OFF $ 24 SIZE 40 1 Our next creation is an Artichoke and Spinach Dip. This is a dip that you would serve warm, and it also has marble cheddar, fresh jalapenos, Asiago and sour cream. Treat your nachos right & buy this! Reg. $7.95 per 4"x5" foil We'll need a soup on the menu, and this week it's Chicken and Root Vegetable. What we use are sweet onions, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, celery (a partial root veggie) ­ the chicken, of course, and thyme. Reg. $8.95/900ml Next, we'll have our Slow-Smoked Ribs. These are done Southern Style, with our Jack Daniels sauce, and they are done in small batches, so supply will be a bit tight, but we'll do our best. Reg. $3.29/100g You'll need Chili, so we'll be making a lot of mine (Evan here). What makes this pretty good is that we use our Italian sausage meat as well as the beef. It's really nice, if I may say so! Reg. $7.99 4"x5" foil And there are other options, the first being Kulam's Burrito Mix. It also comes in 4"x5" foils. Reg. $6.99 `disappointing' From page 1. These are very nice size 40s (big) with thinner skin and a lot of juice. They come from the growing areas of Southern california, and are pretty close to peak season form. Featured this week at /LB According to Emmerson, Whitchurch-Stouffville's taxes, which were just increased by 3.47 per cent, are the fourth lowest in York Region. "This council is doing a great job, as the previous councils have," he said. Much of Emmerson's last term as mayor was spent putting a library/leisure centre expansion plan in place so all the new council had to do was approve it, fund it and build it. This council, instead, opted for a scaled-down expansion of their own making. "Remember me saying, though, many, many times, you can do all you want, but I said when it comes to election time, they can undo it all and it's gone," Emmerson told The Sun-Tribune in a one-on-one interview held after his presentation. "It was planned right. We talked to the public, we got their support. We got to what we thought was best for the community. They decided not to. That happens all the time," he told The Sun-Tribune. Although Emmerson is at arms-length concerning what is happening in Whitchurch-Stouffville, he knows about the town's staff turnover during the past year. In 2015, 12 town employees voluntarily left, which is an 8 per cent turnover rate and within the industry average of 5 to 15 per cent, according to Marc Pourvahidi, Whitchurch-Stouffville's CAO. CAOs to mayoral assistants have been replaced. "It's disappointing," Emmerson told The Sun-Tribune. "Because when you have good staff there for a long time, they have a history and they know what's happening. ... You can't get it in a book. You can't write it all down. You take it with you." "I'm not inside the (town) hall. I don't know what happens. It's disappointing. ... I think it's going to be tough to replace some really good people. But move on," he said. About three months ago, Emmerson and his wife, Debra, left Whitchurch-Stouffville for Georgina and a home they renovated along Lake Simcoe. "I don't really think they wanted me in Stouffville anymore," Emmerson told the Sun-Tribune, laughing, about the move from the town he lived in his entire life. It came down to logistics. They had two properties -- one in Whitchurch-Stouffville and another on Balsam Lake, near Lindsay. When they retire, Balsam Lake will be too far from their children and grandkids, so they compromised on Georgina. "It's been working out really well," he told The SunTribune. "It was sad to leave. We miss it. I do miss Stouffville. Stouffville's been my home and it's been great. Listen, times change." A ISLE4 LUNCH? GOES MEXICAN!

One of the saddest weekends is upon us, at least for me, as it marks the last football game of the season. But for now, I'll make the best of it. I've decided to dedicate my sandwich to Broncos' quarterback, Peyton Manning, as this is undoubtedly his swan song. The "Peyton Mannwich" will start with shaved striploin roast beef as colorado is beef country, and the guy's career is worthy of only the finest cut of beef. We'll use cajun Mayo as the dressing as he was born and raised in New Orleans. and as a borderline ancient white dude, no other cheese than Old White Balderson would be appropriate. We'll also have roasted red onions for no other reason than they taste good. happy Football EAch Sunday! Featured at Let's start with our Football Cakes. They are a chocolate cake, generously covered with chocolate frosting in the shape of a football (inflated correctly).
