WIND ISSUES AT COUNCIL by Brad Holden Wi n d p o w e r w a s t h e dominant topic at C l e a r v i e w ’s C o u n c i l meeting Monday night, with agenda items relating to industrial wind turbines and/or the proposed Fairview Wind Farm coming up three times over the course of the evening. The most prominent, and perhaps most resonant, was their direction to have Mayor Ken Ferguson send a letter to the Minister of Energy and the Ontario Power Authority pointing out that the Notice of Draft Site Plan for the Fairview Wind Farm issued by wpd Canada on June 8, at the same time they announced their July 13 Public Open House, is drastically different than the one that was included with the company’s Notice of a Proposal to Engage in a Renewable Energy Project, issued in early 2010 immediately after the company was awarded a
FIT contract by the Ontario Power Authority. With six of eight planned turbines moved to an entirely new area (and four on the other side of County Road 91, Ferguson’s letter reads that “this submission is essentially an announcement of an entirely new project affecting a different and larger area and should accordingly be processed as a new project rather than an amended project.” As the original Notice of a Proposal to Engage in a Renewable Energy Project is considered a regulatory notice to potentially impacted lands, the letter states that “the project has not been amended to relocate proposed turbines within the original study area. Instead, new turbine locations are proposed in an entirely new and substantially expanded study area. This substantial shift in location and (See “Council” on page 3)

LOG CABIN PROGRESS Four and a half years after the decision to save
the George Street Log Cabin, the ground was broken this week at its new location beside the Creemore Library. A slab foundation is to be laid over the next two weeks, and after that you can expect to see the old cabin gradually reappear. For more information on the project, visit with members of the Creemore Log Cabin Service Board at their booth during the Legion’s Canada Day festivities.

Council grapples with wind issues as Fairview looms (Continued from page 1) extent of study area do not qualify the current proposal as a simple amended application.” With that, Ferguson officially requested that wpd be asked to start over with their submission, review and notification requirements. Later in the meeting, Council also lent their support to the Collingwood Regional Airport Service Board, of which Councillor Doug Measures is a member. Not only is Clearview a financial supporter of the airport, the facility is also located within the municipality. With the new Fairview wind turbine locations located a mere 1.6 nautical miles, or roughly three kilometres from the airport, the Board has asked its contributing municipalities and Collingwood, which owns the airport, to articulate its concerns to the the powers that be. Council voted unanimously to support the airport, passing a resolution recognizing that the facility is an important driver of the local economy and requesting “a full and comprehensive review regarding any significant adverse effects the development will have on the safety and regional economic viability of the Collingwood Regional Airport.” Industrial Wind Turbines were also dealt with in a report by Chief Building Inspector Scott McLeod, who pointed
out that the existing building permit schedule hadn’t anticipated larger scale alternative energy applications and included permit fees of $300 per wind turbine. In order to get this changed, McLeod performed a survey of Simcoe, Dufferin, Grey and Bruce County municipalities that had updated their fees to meet the new reality. The
average fee per $1 million installation was $10,587 in Simcoe and $18,154 in the other three Counties. Choosing a number in the middle, McLeod proposed a permit fee of $12 for each thousand dollars value, with a minimum total fee of $300 (applying to all “designated structures,” a catch-all category including wind turbines.)
A turbine with a $1 million assessment would therefore require a permit fee of $12,000. When put to Council, Councillor Brent Preston seemed ready to push for something closer to the $18,000 of neighbouring municipalities to the west. But when it came time to vote, McLeod’s proposed fees passed unanimously.
DID YOU HEAR THE ROAR? For the many people who saw this beautiful Ferrari 360 Spider driving in and around
Creemore from dusk to dawn on Monday, the mystery driver was none other than Murray Lackie, who rented the automobile for the day to stage a photo shoot for an advertisement for his company, mSPEC. Lackie certainly made the most of his day, giving about 25 friends and fellow car buffs joy rides while somehow managing not to lose his license. He’s probably still grinning ear to ear.

Opinion EDITORIAL
A day of patriotism
Canada Day (or Dominion Day as Sylvia Gale insists it be called) has arrived, and what better place to celebrate it than the Creemore branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. It’s thanks to that organization’s current and former members, after all, that we have the freedom to cover our faces with red and white paint, decorate our bicycles with flags, battle in the streets for road hockey supremacy or on the fields for a soccer championship, and gather together at the end of the day to watch a grand fireworks display and celebrate the beautiful country we call home. So if you’re feeling at all patriotic on Friday, and it will be hard not to, make sure you head down to the Legion to check out all of the festivities happening there. From community booths to the Legion Ladies’ lunch, from the dunk tank to the Firefighters’ barbecue, it will be a truly happening place. The Legion will also, of course, be continuing their recent tradition of handing out awards to outstanding citizens within our midst. You never know, you might be a recipient! Happy Canada Day, Creemore!
LETTER
MPP takes issue
Dear Editor: I read with interest your recent editorial about Progressive Conservative plans to cancel the feedin-tariff program. You’re right; the Ontario PC Party will put an end to Dalton McGuinty’s expensive energy experiments. We will only support wind and solar projects in places where they are welcomed and wanted and at prices Ontario families can afford. You’re also right that I have committed to continuing to advocate for Duntroon Central, despite the Board’s decision to close it. I spoke up loudly and often on this issue and I will continue to do so. What’s troubling about your editorial is that for a community newspaper, I find it passing strange that you would question my credibility to do both of those things when for the past four years I have never received a phone call or an email from the Creemore Echo. Likewise, this year alone I have held five media availabilities. Those are opportunities for the local media to meet with me and ask me questions. Every other newspaper participates, except the Echo. Your paper cannot accurately judge my commitments if you show no effort to speak with me or to report on the activities of the local MPP. Sincerely, Jim Wilson, MPP Simcoe-Grey Ed. Note: Sorry, Jim. Our editorial was merely a statement on politics and campaign promises in general. We’re sure the Liberals will come out with a few before the year is out as well. In no way were we pointing our comments directly at you.

LETTERs
Students receive response from Minister Ed. Note: Several week’s ago the Echo published one of several letters concerning the Highland Quarry written by Jamila Monahan’s Grade 3/4 class at NCPS. The letters were later sent to the Minister of Natural Resources, and last week, the class received this reply: Dear Mrs. Monahan: Thank you for sharing with me letters from your Grade 3 and 4 students about the quarry licence application submitted by the Highland Companies in the Township of Melancthon. I am very impressed by the maturity and dedication of your students. They are informed citizens who took the time to get information on this issue and share their opinions with me. Public debate is an important part of good government, and I read with interest their concerns about the effect the proposed quarry would have on air and water quality, especially on the Nottawasaga, Grand, Saugeen and Beaver Rivers, and on the birds, reptiles, amphibians and other wildlife in the area. Mrs. Monahan, I want your students to know that I believe that all Ontarians deserve to live and work in clean, safe communities – communities in which the environment contributes to our overall health and wellbeing. We are still in the early stages of the process, and I have not given any approval for a quarry in Melancthon Township. When the time comes to make a decision about the Melancthon quarry, I will take everyone’s views into consideration. Ontario needs quarries to give us the gravel and stone we need to build and repair our roads and buildings. We also need a healthy environment, clean air, drinkable water and safe communities. We can have all of these things if we all work together to plan carefully and make good decisions. I want to thank Roxana, Liam, Megan, Julian, Tyler, Arran, Samantha, Emma K., Christina, Curtis, Jack, Alex, Travis, Foster, Emma W., Joelle and Ashley for

the thought and effort they put into this class assignment. Mrs. Monahan, I commend you for fostering an atmosphere where your students can think critically about the world around them. Again, thank you for writing. I wish all of you an enjoyable summer vacation and hope that you will take the time to explore Ontario’s great outdoors. Sincerely, Linda Jeffrey Minister of Natural Resources
Check out NDACT
Letter to the Editor: The Creemore Echo has provided good coverage of the controversy surrounding the proposed mega quarry in Melancthon Township. I would just like to add a little information to keep the controversy in everyone’s thoughts. On Saturday, June 18, a friend and I attended the annual meeting of NDACT – that’s North Dufferin Agricultural and Community Taskforce – in Honeywood. They are the people who are opposing the mega quarry and have done an excellent job in spreading information and contacting other groups for assistance. The devastation that could follow the opening of the quarry is almost beyond imagination. I urge the readers of this paper to become informed and do what is possible to help. For helpful information, Google “NDACT.” At the group’s website you will find a list of ten serious concerns and also suggestions for people to write to. With a provincial election on the horizon it would be good to let each party know of your concerns. You may also look for the NDACT booth at the Creemore Farmers’ Market. Helen Blackburn, Nottawa

Look who’s back: Alliance is ready to go by Brad Holden Three years after winning a settlement with the Creemore Area Residents’ Association at the Ontario Municipal Board, Alliance Homes is opening the doors on its Mill Street sales office and preparing to start selling homes. Company president Alex Troop met with the Echo this week, with his new sales manager Patti Parsons, a Mansfield resident, at his side. Troop reported that he has now received comments from CARA on Alliance’s Architectural Control Guidelines, a move called for under the OMB settlement, and that no major concerns were heard. Final engineering comments from the Township are due anyday, and Troop’s architects are now finalizing plans for the first phase of development, which will consist of 25 units along the east side of Mary Street, stretching from County Road 9 to just south of Francis Street. Included in those units will be 15 single family homes, one fourplex condominium and one six-plex condominium. Prices are yet to be set, but Troop said he was hoping that the condo units could be under $200,000, making them affordable options for seniors in town wanting to downsize from their current homes. He had no comment on the target price for the detached homes, although he did note that all prices have been somewhat
affected by the $1.6 million he paid in Ontario Municipal Board costs. The entire project, now called “Hometown Creemore,” will go forward in phases and take at least 10 years to complete. The reason for the delay, said Troop, was purely due to the economic crisis that occurred just months after the OMB hearing ended. “Banks weren’t lending, and buyers weren’t buying,” he said. But now, Troop said he has secured an investor and is ready to test the market. In an effort to tie the development to the community of Creemore, Troop has also chosen longtime Creemore merchant Tricia Jeffery, now of Nottawa’s Dovetail Interiors, to be the project’s interior design consultant. If all goes according to plan, Troop said, the sales office should be officially up and running in a couple of weeks At right are two drawings from the “Hometown Creemore” Architectural Control Guidelines. The one at upper right shows an artist’s rendering of what the northwest quadrant of the development might look like from above. At right is a reminder to our readers of what the entire site plan looks like. In total, the plan includes 498 units. Phase one includes the 25 units along Mary Street.
(although it is often open now for the curious). Tenders are being written for the first infrastructure work, the reconstruction of Mary Street to include a new sewer and water line and a curb, gutter and eventually a sidewalk. That work is likely
to begin in late July/early August. “We do have a waiting list, but it’s from a few years ago,” said Troop. “It will be interesting to see what happens.” For more information about Hometown Creemore, visit Alliancehomes.ca or call Parsons at 705-520-0160.

New friendships and interests prompted the club to move in a new direction . It was no longer just about the books. Author Kathleen Mundy will be at the store to share her experiences, provide inspiration and sign copies of her book.

Aaron Solomon and Dave Wilson) are all world-class musicians in their own right. The season finale is the world premiere of a new multi-character comedy, Fair Play (August 18-27) written by renowned playwright, Dan Needles. Petunia Valley’s fresh new community theatre and the town’s ancient agricultural society don’t have much in common. But money woes throw the two groups into an unlikely and rickety partnership to fundraise for a new building that will house sheep and Shakespeare. Old grudges threaten to bring the project to a grinding halt. Steven Thomas, Artistic Director and Irene Thomas, General Manager have made Creemore their home for two decades now. During the past fourteen years, the duo has been responsible for rebuilding Theatre Collingwood into a fully professional summer theatre company that has produced six world premieres of new Canadian plays. Theatre Collingwood’s year-round Box Office is located in the Rail Car beside the Collingwood Museum at 45 St. Paul St. Tickets can also be purchased by phone at (705) 4452200 or 1 (866) 382-2200 or at www. theatrecollingwood.com. Theatre Collingwood’s summer performance location is the historic Gayety Theatre in downtown Collingwood, at the corner of Hurontario and Third Street.

These Sue Miller paintings, on the left from several years ago and on the right from this year, show her movement toward “Intuitive Expressionism.”
Letting your feelings dictate what your paintbrush does by Brad Holden For Mad & Noisy artist Sue Miller, there is painting, and there is expression. And the two have not always gone hand in hand. On Saturday, July 9, from 10 to 4 pm, Miller will conduct the next in an ongoing series of Mad & Noisy workshops, this one about how she learned how to marry those two things, and channel them into something she calls “Intuitive Expressionism.” “There was a time when I was painting landscapes when I felt I wasn’t painting what I was actually feeling,” said Miller. “I struggled for a long time with it.” Eventually it was Newfoundland that set her free. Miller started visiting the province in 2003 and bought a house in an outport town there in 2008. As she tried to paint the elemental landscapes that province provides, she finally reached a moment, halfway through a painting, where she put down her brush and picked up her palette knife. Spreading paint across the canvas, she finally realized she could paint from her feelings rather than her eye.
For a while after that, her landscapes became almost abstract, just the hint of a horizon showing among a storm of colour. Gradually, as she’s become more comfortable with the technique, the horizons have become clearer. On July 9, Miller will hold her workshop in Avening’s Carruthers Conservation area. She’ll incorporate music into the natural surroundings and encourage participants to listen to the feelings that such an environment invokes. From there, it’s just putting brush, or palette knife, or whatever you can lay your hands on, to canvas. The key is to get away from painting from pictures and move towards painting from your true self. “It’s about tapping into your intuitive creativity,” explains Miller. “It’s not about looking at your surroundings and painting them, it’s about letting your surroundings quiet your mind, so your stream of consciousness can take over.” To register for the workshop, visit the Mad & Noisy Gallery or call 705-466-5555. To find out more about Miller’s process, you can call her at 705-466-3411.
Wind. For my community. Wind energy is providing Ontario with clean, affordable electricity, new jobs and a brighter future.
Hi there. I’m Rick Goldsmith. ldsmith I am the C C.T. T and X X-ray Technologist at the Collingwood G&M Hospital and have been for 7 years. There are a lot of people here who I feel are very committed to our patient’s care and well being.
“I support wind energy
I live in the area with my family, my wife Christine, and three children. Christine also works here at the G&M as a Lab Technologist. our three children were all born in Yellowknife, N.W.T., where I spent 14 years. I left the city of Toronto and drove to the fresh air of Yellowknife! Regardless of where I am, I enjoy being involved in athletics and have coached hockey, soccer, baseball and ladies broomball.
because farmers have always looked for ways to use their land productively. Wind energy has a growing role to play in Ontario, and I’m proud to be part of that change.”
I really enjoy working with the team at the G&M. From this point in time forward, I believe that healthcare will become an even more important function in our community as our population continues to age.
Bruce Ribey’s family has farmed in Bruce Township for 160 years. They proudly host wind turbines on their land.
At the G&M we’ve got lots of challenges ahead but remember -
We’re ALL in this together.
The 181.5MW Ontario Wind Farm is located in Bruce County, near the shores of Lake Huron. The wind farm generates enough emissions-free electricity to meet the needs of about 60,000 homes.

LITERARY STAR Acclaimed
author Terry Fallis spoke to a large crowd at Station on the Green last Thursday night. The event had originally been planned for the Clearview Council Chambers but interest was so high it was moved to the Station. Fallis, seen here with event organizer Michele McKenzie of the Clearview Library, provided lots of entertainment while talking about his novel The Best Laid Plans, which won the 2011 CBC Canada Reads contest.
TASTE OF SUMMER The Mad & Noisy Red Hatters were spotted at the Avening Church Strawberry Social last Saturday, celebrating the return of strawberries to the Avening Hall after a year’s hiatus.
My whole world’s a swirl of numbers And I’m just a mental midget. My poor brain this so encumbers, I can’t grasp another digit.
POET LAUREATE
For Linda (On Her Retirement) Tim
ARMOUR There are numbers for our telephones, And numbers for our faxes, There are numbers for our speeding zones, And numbers for our taxes. The numerals of my bank account Are such a random cluster, It seems a task I can’t surmount To memorize this muster. I’ve never used an ATM, I like a real teller. Computers – I’m afraid of them I’m just that kind of feller. One lady at our local bank Had memorized my ciphers. She worked for years among the rank And file of banking’s lifers.
I’d stand in line in jeans all patched To make my mortgage payment. Her sweater, broach, and earrings matched No matter what her raiment.
For life is far too valuable To weigh its worth in lucre. Our ruts in life turn malleable When faced with looming euchre.
Though a Luddite they may call me, I’m not losing any slumber, For, whatever may befall me, She’s the girl who’s got my number.
Our dear Linda, in that second, Saw another way of living. As retirement then beckoned, She could go without misgiving.
Though the teller at the wicket Is the public face of lending, It just isn’t proper cricket That they do the bank’s defending.
When the incident was over She had second thoughts about it. Her stick-to-it-ness drove her To delay that thought and doubt it.
A stranger came into our branch To do a little banking, And what ensued would make you blanch, Would set your knees to clanking.
So she took some time on stress leave And a chance to do some thinking, But her heart was on her dress sleeve, You could see her armour’s clinking.
This man would ask what was not owed. This customer got greedy To reap a crop he had not sowed In this, or any TD.
Many ways one might describe her: Friendly, diligent, inspiring. Of the strongest moral fibre But I’d never think “retiring.”
How quickly one’s whole world can change. His plan was clear and crystal. And priorities we’ll rearrange When staring at a pistol.
Happy days to you, Linda. Love Tim.

Sailing in the Georgian Bay Cup by Fred Mills Last weekend I was invited not only to go for my first “real” sail but also to participate in my first race in the Georgian Bay Cup. I was part of a six-man crew on board of “White Water,” a boat owned by Creemore resident Jim Boyd. The crew consisted of Skipper Jim, Jim Brill, Mike Guttfraind, Dave Rogalsky (also from Creemore), Nicolai Platonov, and myself. The race was a 45-nautical-mile race which began at 7:30 am a start line just off the Collingwood Harbour. Sailing into a northwest wind, we travelled north across Nottawasaga Bay, through the gap between the Campana Shoal and the Christian Island Lighthouse, and clockwise around Beckwith Island (keeping it to starboard). Once we were behind the island we put up the spinnaker and, with great steering by Dave to find the wind we needed, we headed back through the gap and south across Nottawasaga Bay to a finish line back where we started. We finished just after 3 pm. We didn’t finish first but we all had a great day. Thank you to the crew and the Skipper for inviting me.

NEW LOWELL NEWS
On a pleasant evening in June members of theAvening W.I. took a scenic drive through the countryside to Irene Trafanenko’s lovely home in the hills near Terra Nova. President Dorothy Shropshire welcomed everyone to the meeting. We have been asked to provide recipes for a cookbook to raise money for the Erland Lee Home. We discussed the W.I. Theme – Back 2 Basics, the modern way, and how we could use it in the coming year. Dorothy gave a thorough report of the Simcoe West District Annual at Sunnidale Corners. This was the last District Annual for Simcoe West, because our branches are now amalgamated with Simcoe Centre’s six branches to form Simcoe Centre West. On May 19 several members from Avening, Sunnidale Corners, and Mrs. Alfred Watt branches travelled to Wyebridge to Simcoe Centre’s Annual meeting to meet and get to know the members of those six institutes. Simcoe Centre covers an area from Midland, Penetanguishene, Wyebridge, Waverley, Elmvale and Minesing. Eighteen members and two guests answered the roll call “What one place did you travel to that was most memorable?” The answers were most interesting and varied – including driving the back roads through the Rocky Mountains, sitting at a sidewalk café in Vienna, Vimy Ridge, driving across the Confederation Bridge, Great Britain and Ireland, London at the time of the underground bombing, the Island of Gegha off Scotland, Bay of Fundy at low and high tide, driving west to the Calgary Stampede and when you got there your children had the measles, and camping on your honeymoon. Marg Palujanskas, Convener of Education, introduced her guest speaker Dorothy Gray. Dorothy showed us beautiful pictures of her trip to Italy to take a cruise from Venice. They flew to Rome, then to Florence and to Venice for the cruise, visiting Athens Greece, Turkey and Croatia. Her favourite country was Croatia and she said she would love to go back there. The scenery in her pictures was magnificent. Our next meeting will be September 8 at the Blue Mountain Retirement Home in Stayner.

The Insidious Insinuation of “Self-Agism” THE RUMINATING RUSTICATOR
If you’re under 40 you phenomenon is when we shouldn’t read any further – run into someone from although written in English a previous lifetime, say the following may as well 30 or 40 years ago.

I were as young as these guys they wouldn’t have had a chance.’ That, right there, is self-ageism at its most basic – you’re aging yourself. Not necessarily a bad thing but, the point is, the first time this thought enters your head, it marks a major shift in your self-perception. You’re now an “old guy” in your own mind. The problem is, self-ageism rarely remains silent, part of one’s internal dialogue. Before long it demands to be heard, to be used as a weapon in the war of egos, at least in cycling. It usually sneaks in under the guise of self-deprecation, as in something like ‘not bad for an old fart.’ when the speaker is all of 45 and he knows darnn well he’s just done something pretty impressive, like beat a bunch of 30 year-olds to the finish. The same line can be used by an actual “old fart,” say someone who’s around 65, as he’s just blown past a bunch of 40 year-olds like they were standing still. Here the use of the line serves up a double whammy, first reminding everyone who won the race and, second, that he was a lot older. In its more subtle form, self-ageism can infiltrate as a question. For example if a younger rider has just beaten you up a climb you always start with a compliment: “Wow, he just hammered up the hill.” There’s a pause and then the self-ageism: “How old is he?” The
purpose of the question is not to elicit an answer but to remind everyone the faster climber is so much younger and that’s the only reason the questioner was beaten. The danger of self-ageism is that it can become a psychological crutch and a permanent part of your verbal repertoire, repeating itself like a scratched DVD with all the attendant irritation. The classiest of the “old farts” are those who rarely, if ever, mention their age. A friend who rides to work almost everyday and knocks off a century (100 miles/161km) ride in six hours is a good example. The only time I can “drop him,” i.e. outride him, is on the longest or steepest climbs. Then I remind myself that he’s only 72 years old. Finally, just a few weeks ago I was on a long mass participation ride, when I found myself riding with only one other guy. We rode together for a few hours at a pretty good pace and I began to tire. Finally, I had to “pull the chute” and I told John to go on without me and that I would ride in alone. After graciously making sure I was okay, he stomped on the pedals and took off up the road. I’d found out earlier that John was 66 years old and as he disappeared ahead into the distance I thought, “I’ve got 11 years to catch up to him.”
