DUNTROON SCHOOL TO CLOSE IN JUNE 2012 by Brad Holden In the end, it was anticlimactic. In front of many ARC members and Duntroon community members, and despite a heroic pitch by local Trustee Caroline Smith to give the school enough reprieve to see if other measures – a repatriation of Clearview students from Wasaga Beach schools and the implementation of a Clearviewbased full-time French program – could bring student enrolment back up, School Board Trustees voted 9-3 to close Duntroon Central Public School in June 2012. While Smith argued that there was no great cost to the School Board to wait until June 2013 to find out if those two measures could bring DCPS’s population from the current 97 back up to 121, the school’s on-the-ground capacity, Trustee Donna Armstrong (Innisfil) pointed out that such a way forward would only place the school in limbo for a few more years. And Trustee Robert North (Adjala, Tosorontio and Essa), who made the motion to close the school next year as per Board staff recommendation, stated that even with 121 students, Duntroon would have a hard time delivering programming equal to schools in other areas of the County. Should the school close in 2012 (and as Clearview Councillor and ARC member Thom Paterson points out on page 3, the battle is not over quite yet), the new attendance areas would be as shown at right.
The numbers in the red arrows represent where current enrolment at Duntroon would end up if the school were to close today. June 2012 numbers may be slightly different.

Opinion EDITORIAL
Promises, promises
There are a lot of promises flying around, and a lot of folks pinning their hopes to said promises. Most of them, these days, are being made by members of Tim Hudak’s Conservative opposition. At least, they’re sitting in opposition by day. The rest of the time, they’re in full campaign mode, labelling Dalton McGuinty with a new nickname (“Tax Man”) in television ads and making sure, it seems, that anyone upset with anything the Liberals have ever done knows that the Conservatives are willing to scrap it. Locally, that means anti-windmill advocates are now hellbent to elect the Conservatives so they can fulfill their promise to cancel the FIT program, revisit the Green Energy Act, and hopefully scuttle every wind project in Ontario. Likewise, ARC members who saw the School Board vote to close Duntroon are now hitching their hopes to the Conservative train, after Jim Wilson and others in his party have been making noise about a new rural policy and the need to keep schools like Duntroon open. Be wary, folks, is all we’re saying. The Conservatives are politicians too.
LETTERs
Time to honour our Afghanistan veterans Letter to the Editor: As the combat mission in Afghanistan transitions into other military activities, the Royal Canadian Legion would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to those service men and women, and their families, who have served with distinction and sacrificed on behalf of Canadians during these past several years. Their contribution to the well-being and care of another country’s populace is a tremendous reflection of Canada’s efforts toward maintaining global peace and we are proud of the way you have represented us. Words are not enough to convey how grateful we are for their commitment and dedication. As a national endeavour, I am encouraging local branches to hold appreciation events for veterans of the Afghanistan mission this coming August, in order to remember those who have fallen, thank those who have returned and to celebrate how proud you and your families have made us to be Canadian. Patricia Varga Dominion President The Royal Canadian Legion

THE WAY WE WERE
This photo of students at the Dunedin School circa 1946 was brought in by Lorne Cleary.
Issues with wpd More than one Dear Editor: On June 8, 2011, wpd Canada issued media releases and notices intimating that a solution has been found and agreed to by neighbouring residents on their new industrial Fairview wind project. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. The relocation of six of the eight turbines closer to Simcoe County Road 91 will negatively impact an additional 30 or so resident families, who all will be living within 1,000 meters of these giant, 500-foot industrial turbines. In addition, this new project will be more highly visible to most residents in the town of Stayner, as well as visitors and tourists passing through this gateway to the Georgian Triangle. Of major concern will be the severe compromise to safety and expansion at the Collinwood Airport as these 50-storey high industrial structures will be within 1.6 miles of airport lands. Apparently there has been no previous notice given, nor consultation asked for, prior to wpd’s June 8, 2011 announcement. This despite documents revealing that agreements had been made as far back as October 2010,with John and Les Beattie of Beattie Brothers Farms Limited, owners of the prime agricultural lands on which six of the eight turbines of the new project are now being located . Wpd Canada presents itself as being “Canadian,” when in fact it is owned and controlled by German interests. Two of its three directors are German citizens and residents. All of the eight turbines in their new proposal will be manufactured and purchased offshore – in fact nearly 80 per cent of the $20 million project will not even be spent in Canada. Michael J. Dickinson, Preserve Clearview Inc.

aggregate operation to worry about
Letter to the Editor Alarm bells are going off – this aggregates issue is bigger than I expected. Within 20 minutes of Creemore we have three proposed quarries and one proposed gravel pit: - Duntroon, MAQ Aggregates Inc. - Duntroon, Walker Aggregates Inc. - Mansfield, Arbour Farms/Airport Road (sand and gravel pit) - Melancthon, 3191574 Nova Scotia Company (aka The Highland Companies) These proposed projects all plan to extract below the water table. Combined, they will have an effect on seven rivers (Batteau, Beaver, Grand, Nottawasaga, Pine, Pretty, Saugeen). These four proposed operations are spread across three counties and four municipalities. It doesn’t appear that any government organization is taking “the big picture” into account. Also, as of July 2009, seven aggregates companies owned land in Melancthon (west of Honeywood/ north of Shelburne). If Highland’s mega-quarry replaces Honeywood Loam soil farmland, consider a precedent set. What will be the cumulative affects of all these quarries? How much traffic, blasting, dust, noise and air pollution will surround the Creemore valley? What about water quality? Now is the time to pay attention. Donna Baylis Dunedin

There were 14 tables, or 56 of us out for cards t o d a y. M y thanks to Barb Cudmore Sylvia for gathering GALE this info and handing it on to me. The 50/50 draws went to Lucy Young, Barb Cudmore, Marion Kelly, Lillian Hiltz, Norma Johnston, Jim Rigney, Wilma Bannerman and Thelma Lightheart. Moonshots were played by Marg Falls, Barb Cudmore, Kevin Keogh, Bert Douglas (2), Carol Faulkner, Phyllis Seed, Doreen Murray, George
Blakney, Pat Winger, Jim Rigney and Marg Douglas. Marg and Jim Rigney shared the travelling prize and Jim Rigney took the Sidewinders money. Dave Smith, I’m told, crashed and burned on two or three moon shot attempts – but hope springs eternal for the next time! High scorers were Alinda Bishop 330 and Art Bishop 324 (nice!) followed by Bert Douglas and Alma Seifert tied with 283. Low was Elsie Longson with 99. My thanks to Barb Cudmore for gathering the above information for me as I had spent the preceding night in the G&M Hospital with breathing problems and a fever. This was our catered lunch day at the United Church and as Warren and

I were delivered a meal, we can attest to the great taste. Our thanks to Bob Veale for delivering it to the house. You see, Wednesday was a very hard breathing day for me and I ended up going to hospital by ambulance and spending the night. We send our condolences out to Audrey Fines and family on the loss of her husband, Charlie. They have both been members of Seniors for some time. Charlie had been feeling poorly for quite some time. We were also wondering if Brian McGill wasn’t feeling well as he has been absent from cards for a few weeks. One of our little cuties down here in Avening, 6½ year old Keira Whitley, again underwent surgery in Toronto recently. The doctors repaired a “wonky” valve in her heart and did work on a conduit to her heart, etc. This is not Keira’s first heart surgery, nor is it to be her last. But as long as

the end results are favourable then the surgeons are winning. So get well soon, young lady. We’re all counting on you and cheering you on. This is the 7th year that Creemore/ Avening will have the assistance of Charlie Company Cadets to aid in such things as gardening, windows, sweeping – general cleanup under supervision. Having had their assistance last year, I can attest to their cheerful willingness to pitch in and get to work. Contact Diane McKay at 705-466-3126. My sincere thanks to the folks from the Creemore Fire Department who arrived with the ambulance when I was feeling short of breath last week. They were a very knowledgeable group of volunteers, and while Katherine Blohm was trying to make me understand what was going on, she did it in the nicest possible way. Heck, she could have yelled at me and it wouldn’t have sunk in too far that night!

In back are Mrs. Jamila Monahan, Alex Sprecker, Jack Sprecker and Foster Preston. Unfortunately, Green Team advisor and longtime NCPS teacher Monahan will not be here to see the tree thrive, although she intends to be here for the planting. Like Suzanne Boughton, who wrote a poignant letter to the Echo last week, Monahan is following career opportunities to another school next year, in her case Birchview Dunes in Wasaga Beach. “I’m heartbroken but excited,” said Monahan, who will continue to live in Glen Huron and contribute to Creemore life in other ways. “Part of me will always remain in this building and this school community.”

A MUSICAL LEGION MEETING Members of the Creemore branch of the Royal
Canadian Legion were recently entertained by a group of NCPS students, who visited the Legion to demonstrate their talents in musicianship, singing and acting. The show included songs by members of the school band (upper left), skits, dances and songs provided by French students (second from top) and demonstrations of musical skills using “boomwhackers,” the latest educational aid in music teaching, which are basically colour-coded plastic tubes that play different notes due to their different lengths (third from top). Legion members were also given a chance to try out the boomwhackers, with mixed results (bottom). The event was organized by Legion member and NCPS volunteer Norma Friest as a thank-you for funding provided by the Legion toward these endeavours.
Hi there. I’m Jennifer fer Stevens. Stevens I’m an Executive Assistant at the Collingwood G&M Hospital. I have been part of the team here at the G&M Hospital for 19 years. This is a place that I have a strong connection with and a group of individuals that I see as incredibly dynamic. I live in Thornbury, with my own family, although my three children are pursuing studies at the University of Waterloo two of them are twins! My husband and I have been married 35 years but we met and were married within three months – love at first sight! I enjoy the beautiful recreation that the Southern Georgian Bay area offers and love to bake, cycle, x-country ski and when I can find time, sew (I made my own wedding dress!). The G&M is filled with a family of people that support each other especially in times of personal need, I am proud to work here. Team work is an every day essential. our hospital works together through challenges especially during these economic times. At the G&M we’ve got lots of challenges ahead but remember-
We’re ALL in this together.

GROOVY TUESDAY In an effort to get students active and fulfill their dance curriculum at the same time, New Lowell Public School held a hip hop dance day last Tuesday. Facilitated by Jennifer Litt of Fit2Dance, each class spent part of the day learning various hip hop moves. Then, at 3 pm, the whole school came together in the schoolyard to hold a mass dance-off. As these pictures show, the event was a success.
The joys of reading from a book club list the bookshelf
course, you then don’t get to talk during the We also like to have copies of book club’s current This is the time of the year when book initial discussion. lists to keep on file. It helps us to know what to order clubs are winding up their seasons and My personal feeling is that a book club, and also, if we have the list, members receive a 10 meeting to choose books for next year. I especially at the bookstore, is a great way per cent discount on their book club books. I have on always find it exciting to see the books that to encourage people to read books that occasion gone to a book club meeting to suggest books end up on the final lists and to notice the they might not otherwise. By coming to and also to facilitate the discussion. We also might be books that seem to be favourites. We also the meeting and hearing the discussion able to arrange for an author to attend a meeting. have people asking us for advice on books they might decide to read the book. This Our book club at the store is meeting during July and to recommend, which we love to do. Catherine RANDALL happened with two of our books this year August but instead of one book each person is to bring Sometimes we are asked how to set in the store – Ian Brown’s non-fiction book one book that they particularly enjoyed. Our September up a book club and how it runs. As an about his handicapped son, The Boy In The Moon, meeting will be September 7 and the book is Island example, I go to two book clubs – the one at the store, and another non-fiction choice, the Governor General Beneath The Sea by Isabel Allende. The October book which meets the first Wednesday of each month from award winning Lakeland by Allan Casey. After our is The Tiger by John Vaillant. 2 to 3 pm, and another one with friends. For the club discussion several people said they were now going Summer is the perfect time to get going on your at the store we choose the books (I chose six and let to read the books. reading, so bring in your list and get started! the members vote for four) and like to alternate fiction with non-fiction. For the other club we each come up with two recommendations and each member has five minutes to “sell” their book and at the end we vote for nine books. This works well, since there are 20 or more books in the running and not everyone’s books can get picked. In some cases one book’s advocate might not vote for her book but someone else’s! Some clubs require that the nominator has read the book but in my club we do not. Popular choices are often prize winners or nominees for a book prize and most, but not all, clubs read books available in paperback. As far as the meeting, there are many ways to organize it. Usually one person “introduces” the book and the author, and gives a quite thorough analysis of the book. Some clubs then go around the table/room or some have a more open discussion where anyone can jump in with their comments. In the store we favour the less structured format. Some clubs also require that everyone read the book or not come to the meeting but the club at the store is different because I encourage Creemore Horticultural Society president Charlotte Vorstermans (right) welcomed landscape anyone to come even if you haven’t read the book.

Help pay for the Station panels and win! 1-1-1 road trip by Brad Holden The Station on the Green is going green, and you can too. In order to help with the cost of the Station’s new solar panels and the roof replacement that occurred before that, the Station is holding a “Big Green$ 5050 draw” between now and Christmas. Tickets go on sale Canada Day and may be obtained at the Farmers’ Market, Curiosity House, the Creemore Echo and several other establishments around town, as well as from members of the Station board. The number of tickets will be limited to 1,000 or less and cost $25 each or five for $100. “Depending on the number of tickets sold,” said Station treasurer Doug Mills, “the winner could collect between $5,000 and $10,000 in November... not bad cabbage for a Christmas shopping spree!” Early Bird prizes of $50 will be award on July 31, August 31, September 30 and October 31, and Early Bird winners will remain eligible for the “Big Green$” November prize. Every two weeks, beginning July 21, the estimated November prize amount will appear in an advertisement in the Echo, so you can keep track of what you might win. According to Mills, “you may even want to re-invest from time to time.” Odds of winning, he pointed out, will be substantially better than in lotteries or other similar raffles. Solar panels were installed on the Station roof two weeks ago. These
for Braves
will supply 10 megawatts of energy to the grid and reduce energy costs to the Station. The panels cost $60,000 and required a replacement roof for an additional $25,000.
The panels will be financed over a period of 20 years through a project financing scheme partnered by Clearview Township and the Ontario OPG FIT plan.
Street hockey tournament for Jacob
Plans for the Creemore Canada Day Street Hockey Tournament continue to evolve. As interest has grown, organizers Shawn Hughson and the Old Mill House Pub have now decided to have three rinks on Elizabeth Street: one west of Mill Street and two east of Mill Street. Hockey will take place from noon to 3:30 pm, and the pub will host a beer garden with live music from noon to 7 pm. There will be a Roberto Luongo jersey up for raffle, as well as any donations that can help organizers raise as much money as possible for Jacob Kenwell’s family as he continues to recover. Teams will be playing for a new trophy, carved by Creemore resident Jay Naismith. Players and fans are asked to please bring lawn chairs. To enter a team of friends, families, neighbours or work buddies please sign up at the Old Mill House Pub. Together, this community can make a difference.
by Fred Mills Creemore travelled to Mansfield on June 15. Ryan Montgomery only lasted 1/3 of the first inning giving up three runs on one hit. Matt Baldry came on in relief and pitched 5 and 2/3 innings, allowing five runs on nine hits to take the loss. Creemore had 10 hits, with Steve Dawding, Jeff Akitt and Matt Baldry reaching first safely. Curt Barrett and Ryan Montgomery each had a pair. Final score: Mansfield 8, Creemore 7. The Braves continued their road trip in Orillia on Sunday, where Brad Grieveson took the ball and tossed a four-hit shutout while striking out 12. Creemore had seven hits with Steve Dowding having a pair and single hits going to to Chris Greer, Ryan Bartley, Bryan Post, Rob Perkins and Todd Gowan. The Braves won 3-0. Creemore then travelled to Midland. After Brett Trott pitched 4 and 2/3 innings and allowed two runs on six hits, Brad Grieveson came in and threw 2 and 1/3 innings in relief giving up three runs on two hits. Creemore managed seven hits with Rob Perkins having a pair and Steve Dowding, Bryan Post, Ryan Montgomery, Brett Trott, and Jeff Akitt all reaching first safely. The Braves exited Midland with a 5-5 tie. Next up on deck: The Braves begin a three game home stand with a game on Saturday, June 25 at 4:30 pm against Orillia. Aurora next comes to the village to take on Creemore on Sunday, June 26 at 1 pm. The Braves finish the home stand against Ivy on Tuesday, June 28.
