COUNCIL LOOKS TO ELECTORAL REFORM
by Brad Holden In the 20 years since amalgamation, Clearview Township’s electoral model has remained the same – a Mayor and Deputy Mayor are elected by the entire municipality, and the populations of seven wards, roughly centred on Nottawa, Duntroon, Dunedin, Creemore, New Lowell, Sunnidale Corners and Stayner, each elect a Councillor to join them. On Monday night, Council indicated the time might have come for a change, directing staff to bring a report back to the table setting out a process for a comprehensive review of Council’s structure, which would consider possible changes to ward boundaries, the size of Council, the election method (either by ward or at large), Councillor remuneration and the job descriptions of the Township’s elected representatives. Councillor Brent Preston brought the motion to the table after indicating his plans to do so at the last meeting, and there was unanimous support for the idea on Monday night. Preston said he was primarily motivated by the growing population inequality between the Township’s wards – in the last election, Ward 3 (Dunedin) had the least electors with 1,259, while Ward 6 (New Lowell) had the most with 2,199. Current development patterns will only exacerbate these differences, said Preston, threatening a fundamental tenet of democracy, that each vote should carry more or less equal weight.

A weekend of fun A Bridge Turns 100
The Collingwood Street Bridge is a century old this year and the committee that’s devoted to saving it is inviting the community to celebrate on Saturday, June 29. From 11:45 am until 4 pm, a portion of Collingwood Street between Edward and Elizabeth Streets will be closed for a good, old-fashioned street party, with free hot dogs and hamburgers, entertainment by the “Rusty Nuts,” and face painting by darci-que. Piper Tim Armour will be on hand to lead a procession over the old bridge at high noon, and a historical display will outline the reasons the committee thinks the bridge should be given heritage designation.
May the Best Duck Win Ray’s Place, Creemore’s youth resource centre, is partnering with the Creemore Legion to hold a duck race on the Mad River on Monday, July 1.

Opinion EDITORIAL
The march of generations
Graduation ceremonies at our local schools are always events of great pomp and circumstance, and this year was no difference. Here in Creemore we don’t get to witness our high school graduates experience their big night first hand, but the commencement ceremony at Nottawasaga & Creemore Public School, and the grand entrances that preceed it, provides a pretty amazing spectacle of transition, all the more so because for many of the young graduates, it’s one of the first times they’ve donned a suit or a fancy dress. This year was an extra special one for followers of Creemore history, as several of the area’s old farm families – the Millsaps, the Taylors, the Whitleys, the Carruthers, the McLeods and others – had yet another descendent make the jump from Creemore to high school in Stayner. The Creemore Echo sincerely congratulates all who graduated this week, whether from elementary or high school. These rites of passage are important milestones, and our children deserve the spotlight that’s shone upon them as they’re honoured for their achievements. Of course, when you’ve been doing this long enough, graduations also provide a chance to marvel at the neverending march of generations. As always, there’s another crop of kids coming up through the ranks, and this Monday, on Canada Day, the village of Creemore will provide one of the best events to witness our evolving population. Starting at 12:15 pm, the youngest among us will temporarily take over the main street, piloting their festive rides in the annual Harold Crawford Memorial Bike Parade. Like this past week’s commencement festivities, the parade is a spectacle that must be seen to be believed. The future lies in the energy of our youth, and on Monday it will be racing forward on two wheels.

THE WAY WE WERE
Last week we wondered about the location of this picture, one of Viola Rawn’s collection of photographs of the original paving of Mill Street in 1928, provided to us by Reg Rawn. We had responses from two noted historians – Gerry Blackburn and Bob Curran. They explained that the building seen directly behind the asphalt machine in the foreground was known as the “apple storage” building, one of several building associated with the Hisey mill complex. Located in behind St. Luke’s Anglican Church about halfway between Mill and Collingwood Streets, the building must have been used for apples at some point. Blackburn doesn’t remember that usage, but he does remember the building as a venue for baking and arts & craft displays during Creemore’s annual Winter Fairs. With country roads as unreliable as they were, it would have been the practice to bring a large asphalt machine like this one onsite rather than truck the material in. The small truck seen in the dugout below the hopper can be seen in the other photographs in the series, delivering asphalt from this site to the main street.
LETTER
Green energy is “bankrupting our province” Dear Editor: Premier Wynne and Energy Minister Chiarelli: congratulations on taking advantage of Samsung’s failing to meet their contract deadlines by reducing Ontario’s commitment to them by $2 billion. It’s an encouraging crack in the government’s adamant stance on its Green Energy policy. However, to state that this will save every household $24 annually is a spit in the ocean, when the government’s own agencies project a 250 per cent increase in the annual cost of electricity within six years! The average household’s electricity cost last year of $1,700 is expected to become $4,000 by 2020! Ontario will face “electricity poverty.” Many won’t be able to afford it. Industries will go elsewhere and institutions will stifle, as we all suffer the consequences. Contrary to the prediction of a 15-per-cent increase in power required, the need for power has declined in the last few years, and will continue to decrease as the price goes up and industries move to the USA and Quebec where power is cheaper. Government statements of available megawatts
of green energy are misleading, when you consider that wind turbines generate electricity only 28 per cent of the time and 87 per cent of that time when not needed. The 3 per cent of the total electricity generated in Ontario last year by wind turbines was prioritized, so we paid 13.5¢ per kwh for wind energy, while hydro plants (3.5¢ per kwh) were shut down and sometimes nuclear plants as well(5.6¢ per kwh), to accommodate the intermittent input of wind power. Ontario’s householders paid a “globalized” charge of 8¢ per kwh while the wholesale rate was 2.8¢ per kwh. It’s unfortunate that the marginal contribution of wind energy to Ontario’s total consumption is driving up the cost of electricity so disproportionately. Eventually, Ms. Wynne and Mr. Chiarelli, the Ontario government will have to face the fact that its green energy policy is bankrupting our province. If you think the gas plant fiasco was embarrassing enough to prorogue parliament, what will happen when you have to unwind your agreements with Samsung and all the other provider agreements in place?
Why are we spending billions on unneeded wind power, while starving funding for education, health care and infrastructure? There is one sobering fact: When the 20-year subsidy agreements expire and there is no longer a subsidy program, what will we do for electricity, if an adequate generation infrastructure of nuclear, hydro and gas are not in place? John Wiggins, Clearview

Creemore Big Heart Seniors
the services up and running. For instance, Black Diamond lost all regular telephone communications. To get a line across to a sub station in Turner Valley, they used a bow and arrow with fishing line, then twine and webbing, rope and heavier telephone cable attached to the phone line and shot it over the Sheep River, and I believe it was successful. But they really do need some bridges rebuilt soon as it takes an ambulance about 55 minutes to get to Turner Valley at present. My sincere thanks to all of you folks who took a minute to call and check on the well-being of all these kids. When I saw my photo in colour in
the June 14th Echo, I thought, “Wow! That looks much better than the normal black and white one!” My next thought was, “Thank goodness I am no longer working at the CSofMI (Canadian School of Military Intelligence) where Lou Horvath (who also worked there) would have any chance of seeing the ‘in colour’ picture after being used to the ‘black and white’ picture.” You see, Lou was known for his “smarticisms,” and if he had seen the coloured photo, he would have lost no time exclaiming, “There she is, the flower of the family – the blooming idiot!” Or some such thing!

I’ve got a billion sisters And a billion brothers too And I’ll have a billion children Long before my life is through.
I can walk on walls and windows. I can fly as fast as light. I can even walk on water Or do acrobatic flight.

OLD COUNTRY CARS Members of the Georgian Bay, Headwaters
and Niagara British Car Clubs stopped in Creemore last Saturday while touring the region. Among the beautiful automobiles assembled was one standout – an orange 2013 McLaren MP4 12C Spider (at right) owned by a man from Niagara on the Lake. Despite the fact the car cost in the neighbourhood of $300,000, the owner was happy to have onlookers sit in the car and check it out.

Council contemplates electoral review (Continued from page 1) Municipal governance has also become far more complex over the past two decades, said Preston, and the responsibilities of Council and demands on individual Councillors have changed significantly. “A review of ward boundaries presents an opportunity to examine the role of Council in Clearview Township in a comprehensive way, to ensure that our democratic governance model is suited to the changing nature of our municipal government,” he wrote in the backgrounder accompanying his motion.
Township clerk Pamela Fettes, who Preston joked he had bonded with over a “mutual love of electoral process,” told Council she supported the initiative, despite some concerns about timing and funding. Any decisions would have to be made before the end of the year, she said, as nominations open for the next municipal election in January 2014. She also predicted that some expert help might be needed to deal with the complexities of such reform, and warned that any changes could be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. Despite those caveats, however,
Fettes agreed with Preston that a review is warranted. Others on Council agreed, with Mayor Ken Ferguson pointing out that he’d brought the idea up before on occasion. “Hopefully, we’ll be provided with many avenues, and we can pick and choose what works best for us.” Deputy Mayor Alicia Savage also voiced her support, stressing that anything done in the name of
efficiency is a worthwhile endeavour. “If we don’t do it now, it’s another five years until the opportunity comes back,” she said. With that, Preston’s motion passed unanimously. It’s anticipated that a staff report will come back to Council by September. Whatever process unfolds after that, Preston’s motion pointed out, will include some measure of public consultation.

Good-bye Creemore!
While sorting through collected memories of more than thirty years, we came across this poem, written by our daughter while she was still a teenager. It seems to express our feelings now as we move on to the next phase of our lives. (Printed with permission)
Good-byes
What is in a good-bye except a fear of pain? Good-byes possess memories of moments spent together And dreams shared by others. The dreams may live on, but the past moments only fade into the past. Good-byes lead on to new and long-awaited hellos If they are accepted as seeds sown for the future. - Karen Knutson McDonald Thank you for all you’ve done to make us feel at home in this friendly community. Au Revoir...

Conserving our views
by Brad Holden Roughly 75 residents dropped into the Clearview Township Planning Department’s Heritage Conservation Open House Tuesday night, and most of the evening’s conversation centred on the possible establishment of a “heritage viewscape” regulation within the Township. Several maps were laid out around the Council chambers, and attendees were asked to comment on a draft version of where the policy might

apply (as seen above). As explained by planning director Michael Wynia, restrictions in the area would not be placed on structures or activities that are in keeping with historical activities, such as barns or silos, but rather on additions to the landscape that impact negatively on the area’s iconic views. According to Wynia, such a designation could be a first step toward more traditional forms of heritage preservation, such as designation of individual neighbourhoods or buildings. A report will likely come back to Council on the subject in September.
