CROSS-COUNTRY FOR CANCER by Brad Holden Vicki Dunleavy has been riding away from the cancer she survived as a child for 35 years. This September, she’ll turn her bike around and ride back toward the disease, in an attempt to raise some serious money to help other afflicted children and to finally come to terms with her own experience. In the process, she’ll also see Canada, from one coast to the other, from the saddle of her bike, as one of 43 riders participating in the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride. For 15 days, from September 9 to 23, Dunleavy and her fellow riders will travel the 7,000 kilometres between Vancouver and Halifax, leapfrogging each other to make sure every kilometre of road gets the message that childhood cancer is a different kind of disease, one that usually comes without explanation, places our youngest and weakest in positions of peril and often leaves its survivors with physical and emotional scars that last a lifetime. In 1975, Dunleavy was diagnosed

Bike aficionados are advised to check out the parking lots of the Legion and the Arena at lunchtime... the number and variety of motorcyles is staggering!

A Walk Into Our Past
The Purple Hills Arts & Heritage Society invites everyone to join them on a guided walking tour of heritage sites of historical interest around Creemore. “Pathways to the Past” will leave from Station on the Green at 1 pm on Sunday, June 6. Chris Raible will provide an overview before the walk begins; there will then be five stops on the tour, each with its own feature speaker. Topics will include the Petun people and Samuel de Champlain’s visit to the area; the first permanent settlement and mills; life in the early village; the coming of the railway and Creemore’s development in the 20th century. Each stop will be approximately six to eight minutes in length. Tea and cookies will be served after the walk back to the station. Tickets for the walk, at $10 each or $25 per family, are available at Curiosity House or the Creemore Echo.

Shannon Hatherley (left), the daycare centre’s director, spent the morning making sure market-goers were well-fed. For more pictures from the Market’s opening day, see page 7.

Duntroon loses two community pillars ROCKSIDE REPORT
While the sun has been shining this spring, I am sad to note that Duntroon has lost two of its community builders and sports ambassadors. Jim Sinclair, whom I knew as a quietly humourous gentleman, Suzanne and Paul Carruthers, a wellWESETVIK known sportsman, will no longer grace our community with their presence. Both Jim and Paul were unfailingly polite and social, and each in their own quite different ways would make you smile. They both also shared a commitment to sportsmanship and sports, particularly to that old stalwart, baseball. Jim and his wife Audrey’s children grew up in the old manse in Duntroon; later, Jim and Audrey moved into their retirement home on Syndenham Trail, near son Larry and family. Jim was a well-respected baseball coach for Duntroon (he coached my husband Jim); at CCI, where he taught for many years, he built up the cross-country ski team. Jim leaves a strong civic-minded sports legacy in his children (and their families) – together they have helped shape Highlands Nordic, the family-owned cross-country ski and outdoor education centre overseen by Jim’s son Larry, a very hands-on owner and strong Duntrooner. All three of Jim’s children – Larry, Shelley, and Shawn (and their spouses and children!) – are committed volunteers with the Highlands TrailBlazers, and each is involved in many ways with the sport of cross-country skiing. While Jim had been valiantly living with illness for quite some time, with Audrey his steadfast companion, his passing was unexpected. The family has had a private service, and will be hosting a celebration of his life on Sunday, May 30 from 1:30 to 4 pm at Highlands Nordic here in Rockside, on the 10th Concession south of 91. Paul’s connection to Duntroon was more recent, through his late wife June, with whom he built a house beside June’s childhood home, now the residence of Ted Wilson (June’s brother) and family. Paul could often be seen outside, where his devotion to a well-cut lawn was visible for all of us to appreciate. Paul’s impressive involvement in sports was well documented by Michael Gennings in a front-page tribute in last week’s Stayner Sun and Alex Hargrave’s Sports column – he was active in many aspects of hockey and baseball until his last days, and had longstanding ties to Stayner teams. Paul had had cancer; he was only 63. Paul Carruthers’ memorial was held this past week at the Stayner Community Hall. They will both be missed.

Stayner Collegiate Institute held its annual Students Against Impaired Driving week from May 17 to 21, with a busy schedule featuring guest speakers, banana split fundraisers and the above reminder of what can happen, courtesy of McLaughlan Auto Wreckers, parked out front of the school all week.
A MILESTONE FOR CARM
A host of wellwishers dropped by last Sunday afternoon to congratulate Carm Gowan on his 90th birthday. Carm is seen here with his son Kerry Elliott and his granddaughter Jacqueline Lane, who coincidentally was celebrating her 30th birthday. Carm was in fine form and said, “I’m having a great time and plan on hanging around for a lot more of these birthdays.”

Duntroon Central Public School will be starting up their Accommodation Review (ARC) process again this fall, after a reprieve while the ARC guidelines were redone – let’s hope the outcome of this ARC allows Duntroon CPS’ history as a strong community presence to continue. The school’s recent “Are You Smarter Than a Duntroon Highlander?” show was an excellent event, with lots of laughter, great audience participation, some very stoked students, and a super celebrity panel that kept cool while being egged on by MC Dean Hollin – a very quick witted man, much in the spirit of the night (he even wore a kilt, in honour of the ‘highlanders’) – I would highly recommend him! Congratulations to all who were involved, particularly librarian/ teacher/ wonderwoman Mandy Bridson who helped pull it all together, and all those smart students. Students also had another opportunity to show their many talents at their Annual Talent Night last week, where the theme ‘A Chance to Shine’ was well chosen. Teacher and music guru Angela Girdwood oversaw a great group of singers, dancers and musicians. JC Sifton, who played several guitar pieces, wowed many of us in the audience with his incredible technique – the next Canadian Idol? JC could be (but isn’t, as far as I know) one of the musicians set to play at the Clearview Community Coalition’s latest fundraiser, to be held on Sunday, June 6. Celebrated chef Michael Stadtlander will be creating a six-course gourmet feast of local produce on the beautiful grounds of Hugh and Emelia Franks’ property. Emelia is one of the parties opposing Walker Industries’ quarry application (on the Niagara Escarpment-zoned lands behind her). Bob Bowles, a naturalist working with Emelia, the CCC and Environmental Defence, will be on hand at 10:30 am on Sunday to take those interested on a guided nature walk. The meal will start at noon. There will also be a silent auction to support the CCC’s fundraising efforts. Please look at the clearviewcommunitycoalition.com website to sign up for this event, or for further details on it. The CCC website also has a summary of the ongoing hearing proceedings, as does Walker Industries at their website walkerind.com. The proceedings looking into Walker’s application to expand their quarry operations onto the northern side of County Road 91 (and close the westernmost end of that road in the process) are apparently getting further behind schedule, and are scheduled to wrap up in the fall. This could portend hard times for the CCC, a citizen’s group without any government funding, unless they can sustain their fundraising for their ongoing legal expenses.

The Creemore Echo’s subscription drive continues this Saturday with Georgi and Fred at the Farmers’ Market ready to receive your contribution. Look for our brand new sandwich board near the coffee booth! The Echo is a true community newspaper, staffed by community members who love living here. That’s an increasingly rare phenomenon in an industry where more and more papers are owned by large consortiums and more and more classified desks (and sometimes even editorial desks) are moved to central locations. If you enjoy having the opportunity to stay informed and speak to others in your community through your weekly paper, please consider supporting us with a $45 annual subscription.
LETTER
Walker ad hits nerve
Dear Editor: I was appalled at Walker Aggregates’ latest advertising broadside featuring Ms. Jory PritchardKerr of the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital Foundation. Over the years I have been a modest but consistent donor to a number of causes, and have been involved in a lot of fundraising. It is the epitome of bad judgment for someone in Ms Pritchard-Kerr’s position to appear as an advocate in a paid ad. Donors to her hospital come in all forms and some, at least, are vigorously opposed to Walker’s proposed expansion. I’m delighted Walker is a supporter of the hospital. Not all corporations are, and believe me, in seeking donations for other organizations, I’ve been turned down by lots of them. However, Walker’s so-called generosity is not at issue. The natural destruction of the Escarpment which would be caused by Walker’s expansion is what is at stake. And what is now at question as well is the unprofessionalism of someone representing the hospital, which is, after all, a public institution. Barbara McDougall, Clearview Township

Avening Women’s Institute News The May meeting of the Avening W.I. was held at the home of Joyce Millsap with 14 members present. President Dorothy Shropshire welcomed everyone to the meeting. Each member brought a copy of her favourite recipe to the meeting. These recipes will be put together into a book for each member. Gwen Taylor gave a report of the Simcoe West District Annual Meeting. A motion was passed to store the Tweedsmuir History Book at the Simcoe County Museum Archives for safekeeping. It will still be accessible to anyone who wishes to see it for research purposes. There was also a motion passed to donate $50 to the Collingwood Great Northern Exhibition. The programme, “Pages from the Past – Vintage Cookbooks,” was prepared by Tweedsmuir History Curator Dorothy Shropshire. Each member brought her oldest cookbook. Edith Eedy has a very large

German cookbook printed in 1906. She brought the cookbook with her when she moved to Canada from Germany because it was a keepsake. There were old classic cookbooks like the Five Roses Cookbook, Canada’s Favourite Cookbook, the Kate Aiken Cookbook and the Joy of Cooking. Besides recipes and cooking tips, these old books have advice on household management and proper etiquette. Myrtle Carruthers had a display of the history of many vintage cookbooks. These old books are becoming collectibles. Dorothy Shropshire read a recipe from a Minden Community Cookbook telling “How to Cook a Skunk.” It explained that the meat was white and tasted like chicken. Dorothy ended the meeting with a contest asking us to identify 10 different herbs. For our next meeting on June 10, we meet at Dunedin’s Metheral Meats at 7:30 pm for a tour. From there we go to Marion McArthur’s home for the rest of our meeting.

Betty Burns with 41 – we think. I forgot to mark it down, so Bob Veale checked the scorecards, and that seems to be right. The hidden score did not go, so it will be worth $13 next week. Dawn Craven’s mom, Jessie, attended the Creemore Legion Bingo on Thursday night. One of the games is called “Bonanza,” where you buy five cards for $2 and mark off any of the 50 pre-called numbers that are on those cards. Very seldom does anyone get a “Bingo” on those, so more numbers are usually called. But this time, Jessie got the lucky card, and won the game in the original 50 numbers, and won quite a nice prize. I also thought that it was a nice way to treat a guest! The Legion needs more players to attend the Thursday night Bingo to keep it a viable project, so if you can spare the odd Thursday evening, come on out and join in the fun. The doors open at 5:30 pm. The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines “cenotaph” as a “sepulchral monument to persons whose body is elsewhere, a tomb from which one has risen.” This designation is most often used in commemorating the dead from wars where the bodies were buried elsewhere. So, while there are no bodies buried at the cenotaph on Caroline Street East in Creemore, it is a sacred site to anyone who realizes that it is, in fact, a “headstone” for all the young men and women who died fighting so that others could have freedom. That being said, it does not grant the freedom to trample the flower beds or park your bikes in them, or break the bushes or shrubbery. The Legion, along with the Creemore Hort Society and the Tree Committee, have made that area a place of beauty that lets the families of the dead have a place to remember their loved ones, and realize that other people also care
You’ll get a warm welcome and cold beer.

about their losses. Now I’ll bet that you kids who have been playing in there did not set out to trample and break things, but when you are ripping around, you just don’t have the time to be careful. So that is why you should understand that you are, figuratively, walking on top of graves, which would be hallowed ground, and not a place to play. If I didn’t explain this so you can understand, ask your parents, or a Legion member, to show you and tell you the importance of a cenotaph. I guess Brad Holden’s article on the Emergency room at Collingwood hospital was more enticing than I realized, as I ended up there on Sunday afternoon with a fever, a headache, and big time trouble breathing. They were super efficient, and had me X-rayed and visited by a doctor in quite a reasonable time. Once I could breathe a bit better, I was released with a couple of prescriptions, and I am slowly feeling better. We have an upcoming Rama bus trip on Tuesday, June 1, and anyone over 19 years of age is welcome. You must have a couple of pieces of Government issued identification with you. The cost of this trip is $5 – and you get a free buffet lunch. If interested, call Sylvia Gale at 466-5732 for more information. If you have been thinking of giving it a try, come along. We would love to have you. We would like to send a belated Happy 90th Birthday to Warren’s sister Mary Dolomont in North Sydney, Nova Scotia (Cape Breton Island). Mary, like Warren, doesn’t show her age. She has lovely clear skin and sparkling eyes, with shining silver hair – and could pass for years younger than her actual age. And Mary, knowing that you enjoy the Echo, it will keep coming your way for another year. Happy Birthday, Sister Mary.

Peter Adams and Tony Fry show off one of the mural’s two pieces when it first arrived in Creemore.
An important piece of Canadiana restored Creemore artists Peter Adams and Jordan Menicucci have spent the last few months on an interesting project brought to them by Tony Fry. Last year, Fry visited Camp Pine Crest, the Muskoka YMCA camp where he spent time as a director during his career. He was disappointed to find the Newspaper ad painted Collingwood two-part mural in 1941 by Size: 5.145 in x Fred 6.25 Hagan, in Canadian artist who studied with members of the Group
of Seven, had been removed from its traditional spot on either side of the stone fireplace in the camp’s dining hall. Due to age and water damage, the mural had been placed in storage. Fry had the mural shipped to Rene Petitjean’s studio in Creemore and Adams and Menicucci went to work on the restoration. The painting is now finished, and next week it will be remounted in the dining hall in honour of the camp’s 100th anniversary.
Anyone wishing to see the mural before it is shipped back may view it at Rene Petitjean’s studio at 195 Mill Street on Saturday, May 29 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. Fry will be at the studio to answer people’s questions. Photos MK Lynde

The Duntroon Quarry Expansion Proposal: “It’s about our community.
New Menu
We at Stayner Rentals depend on businesses in our community to use our services. Walker Aggregates is a long-term, faithful customer. They have also been a supplier, providing the asphalt and aggregate we needed to build our new location. Strong business relationships like the one we have built with Walker have given us the confidence to expand, and give our employees a sense of stability. I’m concerned about the long-term economic stability of Clearview Township, and I want to know that there will be jobs for this and generations to come. The quarry expansion is essential to maintaining a vibrant employer and supplier in our community. I want to deal with a community partner we know.

We live on a small mixed farm – cow-calf herd, cash crop – and my job at Walker helps keep it all going. Our grand kids are the fifth generation to live on the home farm. It’s not feasible for me to move for comparable employment. We live in one of the most beautiful areas in the world. I can’t imagine living anywhere else. I’m proud to work for Walker. They are a very reputable, strong, family and community minded company. Everything is above board. They take ownership over whatever they do and you can count on it being done to a high standard.

From Vancouver to Halifax for childhood cancer (Continued from page 1) disease and its ramifications were never discussed with her. Instead, she learned about things by listening at the other side of closed doors while she underwent two major surgeries and endured 18 months of chemotherapy that made her violently ill. Dunleavy survived at a time when most kids didn’t. The post-traumatic stress she felt, however, has taken much longer to recover from. She’s still working at it. One of the ways she’s dealt with her leftover demons has been to ride. A cyclist since her teenage years, Dunleavy is at her happiest with the wind in her hair and the wide open road stretched out ahead. “When I ride my bike, I forget everything,” she says. Five years ago, she started venturing back into the cancer world, participating in fundraisers and charity bike rides. She met people involved with the Sears
National Ride and she knew she’d found her calling. This year, she was selected as one of the event’s riders and began training in earnest. Last week she was supposed to do 410 kilometres (she didn’t quite make it), and when the ride arrives she’ll be expected to put in 180 kilometres a day for two weeks. Luckily for Dunleavy, Chez Michel has volunteered to give her free lunches during her training. This week, she corresponded with a rider from last year’s ride named Ken Cross. Ken’s daughter Megan was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was four. After an initial remission, the cancer has returned, and Ken and Megan, who is now six, spent last weekend at Sick Kids Hospital, where Megan’s chemotherapy is giving her so many sores in her mouth that she cannot eat. “Here we all were, enjoying the long weekend and the beautiful weather, and they were down in Toronto going through

Vicki Dunleavy that,” said Dunleavy. “That’s why I’m doing this.” In addition to the grueling cycling regimen, Dunleavy has also pledged to raise $25,000 for the cause. She’s raffling off two bikes donated by Murray Lackie and Kamikaze Bikes (tickets are available at the Echo and
other stores around town) and private donations can be made by visiting http:// vickidunleavy.snkcr.com. Information about the ride and links to other riders’ blogs can be found at www. searsnationalkidscancerride.com. For more information, you can also contact Vicki at 466-6209.

To Jim Crawford, Dan Gowan, John, Shauna, Grace, Libby, and Luke Millsap, Steve Whitley, Dan Talbot, Julie Bigham, Janice Bigham, and Lisa Halliday for their muscles in loading all the trucks. A special thank you to Bob Ransier for the use of his trailer and his crew which included Stu Patterson and Davey Montgomery. Their ongoing dedication towards the club will always be greatly appreciated. And finally a special thank you to Donald and Joan Gordon from Midwest Metals and all their staff that was working on our fundraising day for their ongoing support towards the skating club and the community. Many thanks again to all that donated & volunteered.

52 issues, 45 $
Every Friday The Creemore Echo publishes the news and views of this community.
We are able to do this because of the strong support of people like you. People who care about their home, or their home away from home, people who want to be informed, engaged and entertained by what’s happening here in the Creemore area, people who truly understand the value of their local paper and are willing to help through the purchase of a volunteer subscription.
Your $45 volunteer subscription makes it happen! Meet us at the Market, drop by our office, email or give us a call if you would like to offer your support for The Creemore Echo.
