Firefighters free man caught in tractor by Trina Berlo Clearview firefighters rescued a man Tuesday when his arm became caught in the transmission of a tractor. When his arm became trapped, the man was able to use his cell phone to call for help. “Fortunately the man was able to alert his family via cell phone that he had close to him,” said Fire Chief Colin Shewell. Emergency crews were called to the Clearview Township farm on Concession 6 Sunnidale in the area of Centreline Road at about 3:50 p.m. Upon arrival, fire crews stabilized the tractor using a block and brace. They were able to dismantle the tractor and split the front and the rear components apart to gain access to the transmission. Crews were then able to access more components of the transmission and dislodge the individual's forearm, said Shewell. “This process was guided by the patient that was conscious and alert along with the help from his son, both individuals are very familiar with the tractor,” he said. The extrication took about 50 minutes. As a precaution, ORNGE air ambulance was called but was cancelled en route. The man was assessed on scene by paramedics and transported to hospital by ambulance. “This is a serious reminder that when working alone or outside on a recreational activity, always have a cell phone nearby and let someone know where you are at all time,” said Shewell.

by Trina Berlo Clearview firefighters were called to rescue a camper suffering from hypothermia on the weekend during a winter camping trip on the Bruce Trail. Deputy Fire Chief Roree Payment said one of 11 people in a group of University of Toronto students snowshoeing on the trail was showing signs of hypothermia Sunday when 911 was called. “When he woke up in the morning, he was shaking uncontrollably, very, very cold,” said Payment. The campers were travelling toward
Payment said firefighters helped the other travellers remove their gear from the campsite and took them to the fire hall in Singhampton, where they had created a warming centre. “We allowed them to recharge their batteries and get warm,” said Payment. From there, they arranged transportation home. Payment said the hikers had some winter camping experience and had all the right gear but the temperatures reached into the -40˚C range with the wind chill.

The man with hypothermia was met by paramedics and taken to hospital in Collingwood by ambulance. The other people did not require medical attention.

Dunedin chainsaw artist carves snow cave
by Trina Berlo Jim Leithead has created a cool hangout for his friends. The Dunedin based artist has carved a snow cave at an undisclosed location in his neighbourhood. With the help of friend Jeff Smith and others, Leithead has spent weeks building a snow fort fit for all ages. As a chainsaw artist, Leithead usually works with wood but inspired by the snow, he turned his attention to the creation of a snow cave. Having studied outdoor recreation, Leithead said he has built snow shelters, or quinzhees, in the past but not to this scale. He said it was on the first Family Day holiday in Ontario, in 2008, that he decided to build a big snow fort and host a party, which he did and did again the following year. “This is the third one and by far the biggest,” said Leithead. The structure is more than 40 feet in length, including a lounge and entrance way. Leithead said he started by making a big pile of snow and let it settle, then block-by-block the snow was cut out with a chainsaw and transported out of the cave on a sleigh. The cave is equipped with a woodstove, bar and seating covered in furs that

Dunedin chainsaw artist Jim Leithead has built a huge snow fort near his home, where he has been entertaining this winter. Leithead has tanned himself. It is lit at night with candles and a bicycle wheel chandelier. Leithead said he and Smith slept in the quinzhee on the weekend and while
it was below -30˚C outside, it was just below zero degrees inside. He continues to change the design “I am constantly reworking it,” he said. Leithead has ideas for other snow
structures and would like to build them for others. Known as Cedar Fox Sculpture, Leithead also works in metal and other materials. Visit cedarfox.com.
The Door seeks partnership with Clearview by Trina Berlo Representatives of The Door Youth Centre Outreach made a presentation to Clearview Township council Feb. 9, asking for help to find a permanent home in Stayner. The Door ’s treasurer, Brenda Young, said the drop-in and outreach centre needs about 1,200 square feet of space with two bathrooms, one of which must be fully accessible. It also needs a source of ongoing funding. The organization is looking for partnership opportunities with the municipality, in any form possible. Young said the centre is under the umbrella of Highlands Youth for Christ, a Christian organization, and is not allowed to accept provincial or federal grant money because it is raised through the sale of alcohol and gambling proceeds. The Door, which has had 750 youth through its doors since opening in 2009, needs about $66,000 in funding per year to cover rent, programming costs and the director’s salary. The Door had to move from its

permanent location last year to a meeting room at a Stayner church. Director Jen Gerrior, the only paid employee at The Door, told council Monday about the impact the centre has had on the at-risk youth in the area and how it offers a safe place, like a second home. “We’ve walked down many dark and winding roads with these kids,” she said. Council didn’t make any promises

Donations can also be made by sending cheques to The Door, Box 1502, Stayner, ON, L0M 1S0.

Opinion Editorial
Youth should be a council priority The Door’s desire to partner with the Township of Clearview raises a long unanswered question about youth services in the municipality. It’s a question that continues to surface; what is the municipality's role in providing youth services? Sure, many people are probably thinking that back in their day, when they were teenagers, they didn’t rely on the local government for something to do, they made their own fun when they weren’t working at a part time job. And that is valid. But The Door’s director Jennifer Gerrior paints a different picture. One of the troubled youth who need a place to go, for all the things they aren’t getting at home. According to 2011 Statistics Canada data there was almost 2,000 people between the ages of 10-19 living in Clearview. The Door Youth Centre is open to youth 13 to 19 years old and in its six years of operation it has had 750 youth access its services. It is a group that is easy to ignore as a whole. They don’t vote, don’t pay taxes and don’t complain to politicians. They are among the least powerful of our citizens and the most underrepresented. But they will get older and we want them to grow up to be good citizens. In our view a good citizen is engaged while also being a champion for the community, talking up the good things about living here, rather than wishing they could have gotten out. Clearview Township’s geographical layout creates a big challenge when it comes to providing services, especially to people who don’t have access to transportation. The teenagers in this municipality are spread out, living in the many hamlets, villages, rural areas and Stayner, Clearview’s urban centre. That’s why it makes most sense to have some kind of youth centre in Stayner, because of its proximity to the high school. The Door in Stayner is coordinated by Stayner Youth for Christ, a satellite chapter of Highlands Youth for Christ, but it doesn’t have enough money for a permanent location. Clearview should consider partnering with The Door and other groups to create a space where many kinds of youth services can be offered, specifically after school. There is also an opportunity for councillors to initiate satellite programs in the residential areas where there is a concentration of youth. Aside from sports, it is difficult to think of programs that help young people forge friendships, build character and develop leadership skills. Today’s youth face an oppressive economy, an obesity epidemic and a sometimes frightening and cruel online world in which they seem to spend most of their time. They may need a little extra support.

Senior not seeing any tax cuts Editor: MP Kellie Leitch’s Federal Tax Guide mailer arrived today. This document claims “lower taxes for all Canadians” and lists 30 select tax deduction in 14 pages. But I couldn’t find any lower taxes that applied to me. I assumed that I was a Canadian, but under MP Leitch’s special taxation program, I am left out as a senior citizen with a modest income living in my own home. MP Leith’s lower taxation claims are misleading political propaganda without any benefits for my friends and acquaintances. Since Canadian income tax rates have not changed
in over 20 years, her government could actually lower these tax rates to provide a real benefit to all Canadians rather than just pandering to select groups. Dick Hill, Collingwood.

O'Shea's has touch of the Irish by Trina Berlo Mardi O’Shea has infused her Irish heritage into her new restaurant. Several menu items on the pub-style restaurant’s menu are inspired by her home country. O’Shea’s is located in a completely renovated space at Creemore Country Shell gas station at the corner of Mill Street and County Rd. 9. There’s the full Irish breakfast with eggs, thick cut bacon, sausage, baked beans, grilled tomato and homemade Irish brown bread (a whole wheat soda bread), the Dubliner burger and Limerick omelet. The Irish influence is in the caramelized onions, bacon and the Dubliner cheese, a sharp cheddar imported from Ireland. There’s also the Irish poutine, among five internationally inspired poutine selections, with the Dubliner cheese and curry sauce. O’Shea said curry chips, or fries with curry sauce, is a popular food in Ireland. By adding the cheese, she has given a Canadian twist. The menu offers a number of all-day breakfast items, sandwiches, burgers and main courses including fish and chips and liver and onions. “I wanted the atmosphere to appeal to the broad stroke of people who live in and around Creemore,” said O’Shea. With its flagstone floor, lead glass windows, a church pew and wooden tables, O’Shea said the restaurant is aesthetically reminiscent of the pubs in Ireland but it’s not a pub. It is open daily from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. and O’Shea said she has no plans to get a liquor licence. Born in Ireland, she moved with her family to Winnipeg when she was

Mardi O'Shea's new Creemore restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch. 12 because her father, a clothier, was recruited to work for a company there. Ten years later the family moved to Toronto and formed an industrial embroidery company. She has lived in Creemore for four years, commuting to Toronto to work as a supply teacher. O’Shea said she is a certified teacher but was unable to find a permanent post in the County of Simcoe so she decided to go with her entrepreneurial side. She has worked as a server in restaurants since she was a teenager and got to know the business. A couple of years ago she helped a friend develop an all-day breakfast restaurant in Thornbury. She said she had done all the research and knew the business model so when it came time for her to establish her

Clearview catches minister's ear
by Trina Berlo A four-person delegation from Clearview Township will have an audience with the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, Bill Mauro, Monday during a municipal government conference in Toronto. The meeting was granted as part of the annual Ontario Good Roads Association and Rural Ontario Municipal Association combined conference, taking place at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel Feb. 2225. The meeting is regarding a change in regulation by the Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC) that could result in a costly delay for Clearview Township. Clearview currently has an application before the NEC for a development permit to upgrade two municipal roads (Concession 10 and 26/27 Sideroad) as part of the agreement for the expansion of Walker Industries’ Duntroon quarry. “The legislation changed on the requirement for us to get a permit after the hearing board ruled on the quarry. We’re going to meet with the minister to ask for an exemption from that amended regulation,” said Clearview (See “Regulation” on page 10)

Creemore Classic
Friday, February 20, 2015
Bookstore's event celebrates hockey
The area’s young hockey players will face off at the Creemore Winter Classic Sunday. The event takes place at the outdoor rink at Station on the Green, beginning at 1 p.m. Everyone is invited to don their favourite hockey sweater and bring their skates to take part in an event modeled after the popular NHL game played outdoors annually. Curiosity House Books is organizing the event around a visit from Stephen Smith, author of Puckstruck: Distracted, Delighted and Distressed by Canada’s Hockey Obsession, who will be visiting the bookstore on Saturday and attending the Sunday event. Smith will be signing books at the bookstore from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and will be reading from Puckstruck on Sunday. The book was long-listed for the 2015 RBC Taylor Prize. The winner of the bookstore’s hockey sweater contest will be announced at the event and will be invited to drop the puck for a game between Creemore Minor Hockey players aged 3-5. “The Classic is really about us as a community coming together to celebrate our favourite national sport, whether as a fan or a player. We have great hockey teams and great hockey families and it’s a good opportunity to have the community engage with the sport for those of us who aren’t directly involved with hockey and to take it outside the arena,” said Curiosity House Books owner Rina Barone. “We’re hoping it will take and that we can continue the tradition each year adding on to it so more players and teams can be involved.” Affairs Bakery will be providing free hot chocolate for children and selling hot beverages and treats.

Mulmur snowboarder Lukas Schlums, a slopestyle competitor, is representing Ontario at the Canada Winter Games next week.
Local snowboarder competes at Canada Winter Games by Trina Berlo Snowboarder Lukas Schlums will represent Ontario at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George, B.C. Schlums, 16, is set to hit the slopes Feb. 27 in the slopestyle competition. He earned a spot on the team after first place finishes last year at the Ontario Provincial Championships Slopestyle Juniors, Beaver Valley Park Brawl Slopestyle Juniors and the
Horseshoe Valley Open - Big Air AM. In slopestyle, competitors snowboard a course while navigating a number of obstacles including jumps and rails. Schlums, a Mulmur resident and Grade 10 student at Centre Dufferin High School in Shelburne, is just recovering from a broken collarbone. He has been off the slopes for two months and had his first training session on Feb. 14.
He trains with Icarus Shreducation and is the son of Debbie Ebanks Schlums, and Dirk Schlums. Schlums began skateboarding as a child, with his father. Having just moved from Switzerland, where he was born, father and son took to a hill on a golf course near their home in Guelph. He started competing seriously last year, winning the provincial title and earning a spot on the provincial team.

Casino trips begin in April seniors
I had forgotten to mention Feb. 19 was our next potluck lunch, hope everyone remembered it is the third Thursday in the month. Again we are sad to hear that member Earl Bentley is Evelyn not doing well, also Marion WARDEN Kelly and Barb Cudmore are not feeling well, get better soon ladies. Irma Flack has received a call from Casino Rama wanting to book our monthly trips, which are the first Tuesday in the month starting with April. Irma will again convene these trips, however, we ask that you contact either Irma or myself should you wish to travel with us. Call Irma at 705-466-5205 or Evelyn at 705-429-5067. Yes it is early but you know how time flies. We had five full tables and a table of three. Lucky draws were won by May Johnston, Evelyn Warden, Eileen Nash x2, Irma Flack, Dave Smith and Phyllis Seed. We had five moon shots played by John Van Voorst, Kevin Keogh, Lillian Hiltz, Peter Gubbels with the travel prize to Roy Veinot. Winners for cards were Mary Donahey, 280; Kevin Keogh, 273; Betty Bartlett, 267; Dave Smith, 245; and low prize to Phyllis Seed, 121. Idiots at large: A man spoke frantically into the phone, “My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart.� “Is this her first child?� the doctor asked. “No! Jackass� the man shouted, “This is her husband!� Police had good luck with a robbery suspect who just could not control himself during a lineup. When the detectives asked each man in the lineup to repeat the words: “Give me all your money or I’ll shoot", the man shouted, "that's not what I said!" Remember: Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

The DanceRoom’s competitive highland and mainstream dance teams debuted their 2015 competitive numbers at The Meaford Hall recently. The event was held in support of The Meaford Hall. The DanceRoom’s owner, Jennifer Campbell, was thrilled to present a cheque to The Meaford Hall for $2,300. For the past seven years, the DanceRoom has held its annual recital at the facility. More than 70 dancers wowed the audience with a variety of styles including tap, jazz, modern, acrobatics, musical theatre and highland.
Regulation change could be costly for Clearview (Continued from page 5) CAO Steve Sage. The change means that a permit is now necessary to improve roads within the NEC area, which could mean the township would have to go through a second public process. “At this point in time, we have probably invested about $130,000 and we have nothing,� said Sage adding that there may be additional costs. “Where the huge cost could come in is if we have to go through another public process and I can’t estimate those costs.� All members of Clearview council will be attending the conference, with the exception of Councillor Shawn Davidson. Davidson has been asked to attend the meeting, because he is the appointed NEC member for Simcoe County.
In addition to Sage and Davidson, the delegation also includes Mayor Chris Vanderkruys and Councillor Robert Walker. The road upgrades are part of an agreement that would lead to the eventual closure of County Road 91 at Grey Road 31. “Not only will it cost us money but also time,� said Vanderkruys adding the road closure is meant to alleviate truck traffic. “They changed the regulation but there wasn’t any timeframe around the change.� It is at the mayor’s discretion, with advice from the CAO, which meetings with ministers will be requested. Clearview Township also requested a meeting with the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Glen Murray, to discuss the wpd Fairview wind project but the minister’s office declined.
