GAMES OF OLD Last weekend’s “Great Northern Medieval Fayre” at the Collingwood Fairgrounds
featured all kinds of anachronistic activities, including this thrilling event during the warm up to the Jousting event. Look closely and you’ll see that this particular knight has managed to slice an apple in half off the top of a poor commoner’s head!
by Brad Holden Clearview Council held a public meeting Monday night with regards to Creemore Springs Brewery’s request to rezone an Airport Road property south of Stayner so that the company can build a permanent trucking depot and warehousing facility there. “This is hopefully the final step in securing Creemore Springs’ position in Clearview Township,” said Jim Dyment of Meridian Planning, who has been guiding the brewery through its expansion applications (approved but appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board) as well as this new application. The property in question is on the east side of Airport Road and is currently home to Forbes’ Garden Edge. Dyment said the brewery is “in the process of purchasing” it, contingent on a zoning change that would allow the operation of such a facility. No one spoke from the public on the application, so it will now be subject to a staff report and decided on by Council at a future meeting. Creemore Springs had previously been renting a County-owned building on Edward Street, just east (See “Council” on page 3)
UP IN THE AIR Creemore resident and helicopter pilot Kevin Brulotte brought a helicopter over from Durham last Saturday and gave a bunch of lucky people tours of the area, taking off four times from Angus and three times from John Miller’s field (left). The view at right is of the south end of Creemore, with Collingwood Street hill rising in the background. Brulotte is planning to do this a few more times; anyone interested in a flight should call Vickie Elliott at 466-6355. Serving Mulmur & The Creemore Hills for 35 years
