Clearview Township building inspector Ron Pittendreigh (from left), Mayor Chris Vanderkruys and CAO Steve Sage hoist a flag bearing the municipality's new logo at town hall in Stayner. New flags will be going up around the township as staff time permits.
New flags going up throughout township by Trina Berlo Something new and something blue. People will start seeing new Clearview Township flags going up throughout the municipality after council agreed on a new design. The flag features the new logo on a familiar blue background, which was
preferred over a white background. CAO Steve Sage brought a recommendation for the flag design to council March 25 in keeping with the implementation of the branding process completed last year. Sage said 50 flags have been ordered and as time permits, they will be hoisted
at municipal facilities, beginning with the fire halls and arenas. This is one of several upcoming decisions council will make as staff continues to roll out the design guidelines for the somewhat controversial rebranding process. “I am starting to love it and on a
personal note, so does my husband and he is not easy to please,” said Councillor Connie Leishman. Councillor Doug Measures was the only council member not to vote for the new flag, saying that he has not supported the new logo from the beginning.
Six Clearview staffers make Sunshine List by Trina Berlo Six Clearview Township employees have made the so-called Sunshine List, released March 27. The list is released to the public each spring as required by law under the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act and reveals the annual salaries and taxable benefits of public sector employees who earn $100,000 or more. Public sector employees include politicians, educators, firefighters, municipal employees, those working in
health care, police and public utilities, among others. Six Clearview Township employees made the list this year, up from four last year. Treasurer and director of finance Edward Henley was the top earner, making $119,726.70. Director of planning, development and information services Michael Wynia earned $109,839.36, CAO Steve Sage earned $108,723.88, clerk and director of legislative services Pamela
Fettes earned $108,544.92, general manager of environmental services Mike Rawn earned $102,168.72 and fire chief Colin Shewell earned $102,168.73. In Mulmur Township, CAO/clerk Terry Horner was the only employee to make the list, bringing in $102,442.90. The list is short compared to neighbouring municipalities. In Collingwood, 22 employees made the list, with 18 in Wasaga Beach. Huronia West OPP commander
Kevin Hunter earned $156,455.99. In the education sector, 243 Simcoe County District School Board employees and 136 Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board employees made the list.

Save those returnables
Grade 8 students at Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School are hoping people will save their empties as the school prepares to launch a bottle drive as a fundraiser for their trip to Ottawa in June. Students, including Foster Preston (from left), Alex Sprecker, Xander Watt, Jordan Carruthers and Jared Young are among those who will be visiting the parliament building and other attractions in the capital during a four-day trip. The bottle drive will officially kick off later this month, when students will be collecting returnable liquor bottles. The money will be used to subsidize the cost of the trip, which is estimated at about $600 per student.

Opinion Editorial
Parts of a whole Flying the new Clearview Township flag will help people embrace the municipality’s new brand. The flag is a perfect symbol for unity, bringing together many parts of a whole. Since amalgamating, townships that take in a large area and several smaller communities have been struggling to find an identity. Currently, Mulmur is considering changing its title from a township to a town. At the same time, Clearview is rolling out its branding exercise. The brand, under the last term of council, cost more than $60,000 in consulting fees. The logo is the visual symbol that resulted from the exercise. Slapping the logo on the side of township vehicles and raising flags is the easy part, relatively speaking. Creating an underlying cohesive community is the hard part. It should not be seen as an attempt to dull the identities of Clearview’s communities. People who live and visit these communities identify with the parts of the whole more than the township itself. The branding exercise recommended maintaining the identity of each community but also bringing it under one banner. We should not change the names of events to include Clearview, we should maintain the identities of each community. The Creemore Copper Kettle Festival sounds better than the Clearview Copper Kettle Festival and quite frankly, people will know where to find it. There has been a move to change the name of other events to include Clearview’s name but it will be ineffective and is off-point with regards to branding. In terms of branding, an invitation to the Creemore Children’s Festival – a proud Clearview Township event – would be more on message. You can’t just stick a new name on something and expect it to be any different. As citizens, we like to hold on to any small morsel of identity we have. Granted, the communities we live in have more similarities than differences. The people here, according to the brand consultants, appreciate the affordable distinctive small-town Ontario lifestyle offered in Clearview. Distinctive being the keyword. A name can be changed but it means nothing. Changing attitudes and shifts in the community consciousness happen naturally and can be guided by a branding process but it works better if the administrative change reflects what is happening organically. Same goes for Mulmur. Forget about changing the name to Town of Mulmur and focus on the natural identities of the communities within while fostering the umbrella community that is the township. An updated look, including the a new logo, doesn’t hurt but it doesn’t tell the whole story. Changes like these are very subtle and we argue that many people won’t even notice.

From our readers
Made in Creemore
Tim Armour has fashioned a selfie stick for all luddites out there.
Why fix what's not broken? Editor: I reside in Mulmur Township, specifically Stanton and have lived here for more than 35 years. I would like to express my opinion of changing the name of The Township of Mulmur to The Town of Mulmur. A definition of a town is: a compactly settled area as distinguished from surrounding rural territory or a compactly settled area usually larger than a village but smaller than a city. The Township of Mulmur is to my mind a township containing many hamlets but mostly rural land. A town could also be defined as a New England territorial and political unit usually contained under a single town government, both rural areas and urban areas not having their own charter of incorporation. I checked online and the Township of Mulmur was incorporated in 1851, so that definition does not fit. Boyne Mills, Blackbank, Violet Hill, Stanton, Terra Nova, Primrose, Whitfield, Perm, Mulmur Corners, Perm, Lavender, Honeywood, Mansfield, Kilgorie, Airlie, Randwick, Banda, Ruskview and I am sure there are more are hamlets or places in Mulmur that will most likely disappear if Mulmur becomes a town. I spent my early teens in Markham. When I lived in Markham it went from the Village of Markham to the Town of Markham. Few people now could say where Armadale, Langstaff, Dollar, Headford, Victoria Square, Brown’s Corner, Hagerman’s Corner, Cashel, Milnesville, Box Grove, Cedar Grove and Locust Hill/Belford are, yet they are place names that have more or less disappeared from use and are
now just Markham. Do we really want our history to just disappear? I am happy to live in a rural area and most people who live here were either born here or moved here to get away from “town”. It seems to me that renaming is just the first step in changing the beautiful place we call home. We are being told, “There is no tangible cost to the name change and no detriment to change or not change the name – more of a personal preference.” I know how many phone calls I had to make and letters I had to send to just change my address as dictated by the change from Mansfield to Mulmur for mailing purposes, so I can only guess how much would have to change if the name of the Township changed. It seems to me that if the name changes then there are costs involved. I can foresee a cost for signage, stationary (including tax bills and letterheads), bylaw tickets, lettering on township vehicles, buildings, etc. We are being told, “some of the discussion centered around the term “Town” being more unifying” but I for one would not feel any more unified, just perhaps swallowed up. I would like to suggest we leave the name as it is. I understand that Mulmur wishes to increase its tax base but do we really want to attract businesses that do not understand who and what we are? Why spend time and money fixing something that is not broken? I really hope that The Township of Mulmur remains the name of the place I call home. Sue Fregeau, Mulmur.

The Joys of Easter At Easter time, the children watch, To see the signs of spring, The air grows warm, the buds appear, And birds begin to sing. The stores display their Easter treats, And have a ‘Springtime Fling,’ Excited children try to guess, What will the Bunny bring? Our homes we clean and polish, For family gatherings, Prepare to dine, good food, fine wine, As old traditions cling. We adapt a makeshift wardrobe,
To put us in the swing, Lighthearted, we are ready now, To ‘welcome in’ the spring! In Church we pray and worship, And Hallelujas sing, But what’s this season all about, What is this ‘Easter’ thing? Look to the Cross, the empty tomb, And see our risen King, As Christ awaits our contrite hearts, Salvation offering. by Florence Bremner, Singhampton.

Alliston advances to semifinals by Alex Hargrave In Junior C hockey, the Alliston Hornets made short work of the Schomberg Cougars winning the Georgian Mid Ontario Hockey League in four straight games. After the first three games in the Ontario quarterfinals, the Hornets found themselves down 3-0 to the Walkerton Hawks of the Western League, but roared back with four consecutive wins, including a 4-1 win in Game 7 to advance to the semifinals. In the other quarterfinals, Essex 73s defeated Exeter Hawks four straight; Grimsby Peach Kings lost four straight games to the Ayr Centennials to be
eliminated 4-2, and Port Hope Panthers beat the and the Clarington Eagles 4-2. Alliston now play against Port Hope (Empire League); and Essex (Great West League) meets Ayr (Mid West. The winners of the two series will play for the Schmaltz Cup to determine the Ontario champion. Essex has lost in the finals the last two years and is considered the favourite to lift the hardware. Alliston lost in the semifinals last year, were runners-up two consecutive seasons last year, and won the title in 2010 and 2008.
