New drawings for the block of Mill Street between Elizabeth and Edward show the removal of all industrial activity to the rear of the building.
BREWERY PRESENTS TOWNSHIP WITH REVISED PLAN by Brad Holden After several weeks in consultations with neighbours and Township planners, Creemore Springs Brewery has submitted a revised site plan for its proposed expansion and is hoping that Clearview Township will make a decision on its applications for a rezoning and an official plan amendment at its July 12 meeting. Township planning director Michael Wynia, however, told Council at its Monday night meeting that several studies and peer reviews associated with the applications still need completing and could not guarantee that his final report
would be finished in time to be presented at that meeting. The new site plan, as Creemore Springs executive vice president Gordon Fuller and operations manager Kurtis Zeng showed the Echo Monday afternoon, has undergone several changes since the version that resulted in a divided public meeting in mid-April (see page 6). Most significantly, the brewery’s water/ malt delivery and spent grain loading have been removed from Mill Street and Elizabeth respectively, meaning the renovated facility would no longer have any industrial-type activities or
truck loading/unloading taking place on the main street. Instead, these facilities are proposed to be grouped in one area at the rear of the building, relatively hidden from view. Trucks will access the location from Elizabeth Street, and exit on Edward Street. The additional fermenting tanks proposed for the northwest corner of the building have been reconfigured as well. Originally, the plan called for the addition of ten 800-hectolitre tanks, which would protrude above the building’s roofline. Now, the brewery is proposing to use 15 smaller, 600-hectolitre tanks that would
fit inside the building. Since the water/malt delivery and spent-grain loading would now take place where several parking spots had been proposed in the original plan, parking has now been extended the entire length of the western edge of the property. And to make room for this, as well as to ensure that beer delivery trucks use the Elizabeth Street entrance/exit instead of the Edward Street one, the proposed warehouse addition has been decreased in size from 6,600 square feet to 4,800 square feet. That means the brewery will have to (See “Brewery’s” on page 6)

Trail riding Canadian championships this weekend by Brad Holden The New Lowell chapter of the Ontario Competitive Trail Riding Association, headed up by the Danko family, has been working with local landowners to stage trail riding competitions for several years now. This year, they’re taking it to a whole new level, hosting the Canadian Championships, which started on Wednesday, June 30 and continue until Sunday, July 4. Over 100 horses will compete in events this weekend, meaning three or four times that many people will be staying at the Rolling Hills Guide Camp next door to the Danko farm. Competitors are in New Lowell from all over Canada, several U.S. states and as far away as Sweden and India. In total, Lesley Danko has acquired access from 40
landowners, stretching from New Lowell in the east to the Mingay Tract in the west. Riders will loop around Creemore, travelling west north of town, crossing County Road 9 between Creemore and Websterville, and travelling back east south of town. Events range from 50, 75 and 100-mile endurance rides, to “ride and ties,” in which two people take turns running and riding, to the main event, a two-day “mileage ride” on Saturday and Sunday, featuring 40 miles each day during which riders have to hit several “vet check” areas and show that their horses are in line with several medical benchmarks (ie. heart rate) while racing. In all, 65 volunteers are making sure the event runs smoothly. Spectators are encouraged, both on the road and at the staging area in New Lowell.

Praise for columnist Dear Editor: I just wanted to commend you on your recent addition to your roster of writers. How’s that for alliteration? I am really enjoying the relevant and well-written items as written by Ken Thornton. I recently had the pleasure of meeting Ken. What a great guy! To you, Ken, I say keep up the good work. When I grow up I want to be just like you. Billie Power, Mulmur
This picture adorned the front page of the order of service for the 1953 centennial celebrations at the East Nottawasaga Church, which Paul Gadway remembers below.
Reminiscences
Remembering a cornerstone of the east Nottawasaga community Editor’s Note: Former Smithdale resident Paul Gadway, who is in his 90th year and now lives in Collingwood, spent most of his life attending East Nottawasaga Church, which is on the top of the hill on Fairgrounds Road, across from the red barn. The church was closed in 1975, but one service is still held there every year. At this year’s service, Paul was asked to say a few words about the history of the church. Here are his comments. Good morning everybody. My name is Paul Gadway. I have been asked to describe the early history of East Nottawasaga Church from records, personal recollection and the help of Doreen McDermid. I am in my 90th year and I am not sure of Doreen’s age. Join me on a trip to the past. The early pioneers were from the highlands of Scotland. They left Islay in 1833. They eventually settled Craigleith north to near Creemore in the south. We have to remember that forests separated neighbours. The first settlers worshipped in their homes or any suitable building, no matter how crude. Later, when schools were built, they were used. Finally, in 1853, a church was erected on Lot 20, Concession 4. The one-acre lot was donated by Neil and Isabella Paul in exchange for five shillings. The church was a frame building until it was bricked in 1881. The first communion service was observed about 157 years ago in July. When communion season came each summer, special preachers were engaged. These men could be seen on a stand under a large beech tree to the east of the church. My father’s older sister told me the sermons were in Gaelic. In 1875 East Nottawasaga Church was separated from the west church. It was linked with Creemore, Dunedin and later Horning’s Mills to form one charge. Much credit is due to the ladies of the church for their various money raising activities. I can remember fine

garden parties at the homes of the Campbells and the Pattersons. The church shed was built mostly by members of the church. Isaac Aikens wanted a hip roof. He was going to have a second floor where they could have their fowl suppers. This never happened. My father supplied the steel for the shed. I remember the Robertson brothers and I getting a free supper if we played. Gordon on the guitar, myself on the guitar and mouth organ, and Russell on the violin. Jack Lewis had an empty house on the farm next to the church and we had fowl suppers in it also. He had a stove in the kitchen, which helped very much. Tables were set up in different rooms and that is where we ate. A lot of Christmas concerts and entertainments were held in the church. In 1889 an organ was purchased. When my mother was 11 years old she started to play, and she continued until she was in her 70s. She had arthritis in her knees and it was an effort for her to pump the organ. They had a good choir. I remember Mother said there was a couple of fiddle players, my father on the coronet and her on the organ, along with a group of good singers, both women and men. I think Violet McQueen took over playing the organ until the church closed. The first Cemetery Board consisted of James Morrison, John McQueen and Jack Lewis. In 1932, my Uncle James wrote letters to the relatives of early settlers who were buried in the cemetery, asking for donations to start a perpetual care fund. There were a lot of responses to this request and when I resigned from the Board and the Secretary-Treasurer position in the late 20th Century there was about $20,000 in the fund. Jim got his brother Neil Morrison to make a blue print of all the graves in the cemetery, which was a great help. In 1957 or 1958, the Board – at that time Gordon Robertson, Sanford Aikens and myself

– built the flower beds on each side of the entrance to the church. East Nottawasaga Church eventually closed and the congregation affiliated with Jubilee Presbyterian Church in Stayner. This happened soon after the Jubilee Church was built in Stayner in 1975. A claim to our fame was having Reverend Dr. John Ross as minister from 1943 to 1948. In those days, the Township roads weren’t plowed in the winter, only the County roads. The manse was in Creemore and Dr. Ross would drive his car to church rather than ride in a horse and cutter, which meant he had to drive to Cashtown, then up to Stayner and over to the Fourth Line, where he would leave his car and walk the final two miles to church. Dr. Ross was ordained at the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Creemore. My mother and I attended the ceremony. I went to high school with him in Stayner in 1936. He and his wife had their first baby in Creemore – a boy named Robin Dunedin. I asked John about the unusual name, and his answer to me was that there were always robins in the maple trees around the Creemore manse, and that the people in Dunedin had always been really good to him. Dr. Ross baptized our first child in 1947. That same year, in May 1947, he officiated the marriage of my only sister Kay. This was the first marriage in East Nottawasaga Church since it was built 94 years previous. Kay was presented with a white Bible. The second girl to be married in the church was Wilma Campbell, a couple of years later. She was a sister of Doreen McDermid. When Dr. Ross left us he went to B.C. and later became the Dean of the University of British Columbia. I am over my time on this but it is hard to say it all in five minutes. God has blessed our past, and our present. May He bless our future.

come to this line, which she asserts is a fact – “A perfectly rational, law-abiding male is capable of going into temporary, lust-induced insanity.” She goes on to say that “it’s not something they can prevent; it’s simply the way their genetic make-up works.” Well, methinks some guy has sold you a bill of goods on that one! This sounds like a ready-made excuse-before-the-deed type of “fact.” You could carry this further to where, when a guy is caught stealing a chocolate bar, his excuse is “Well, I lusted after it, and I saw it, and my ‘genetic make-up’ couldn’t stop me. Besides, the chocolate bars were right out in the open, and not kept under wraps, so that drove me into a ‘temporary lust-induced insanity.’” That’s hogwash. As, I suspect, is the excuse that female toplessness is to blame for males’ actions. Most of our neighbours are wonderful people. Knowing we are kind of “stove up,” Allan Thompson whippersnipped right across the front of this place – ditch, hydro poles and all – and really made it look so much better. Then Maurice Weatherall appeared with some fresh raspberries from his garden to share with us. So thanks so much to the both of you. I would also like to thank the sharp-eyed Editor at the Echo for catching my misspelled words and convoluted sentences and so on. Craig Simpson was very good at that, and now Brad Holden seems to be doing his darndest to keep me from looking like an “edjit.” (Universitys, indeed!) The “repair jobs” really are appreciated. We just heard that grandgirl Nevada, 17, has just joined the cast and crutches brigade (again!) because her horse booted her and broke her ankle.

garden into the fairly weedless condition it needs to be in for her to host a garden party to raise funds in support of the log cabin. And, after the rain we have had, anyone with a garden can testify to the fact that the weeds took advantage of the great growing conditions and flourished. So for sure, this is one gal who not only had a great idea but put in the time and effort to bring it all to pass to where she can share a bit of her heart with us all. On Saturday, July 3, from 2:30 to 5 pm, do try to join Dorothy and others for tea, sandwiches and conversation at the garden party at 20 Wellington Street West. The cost is $10 each, and tickets are available at the Creemore Echo, at the Curiosity House Book Store or at the garden gate, although an advance ticket helps with food planning. All money raised goes toward the Log Cabin Fund. In case of rain, the rain date is Sunday, July 4. For more info, call 466-2261. By the way, I remember when Kay and Charlie Joyce and kids Frank and Judy lived in what is now Dorothy’s house. In 1949, Mr. and Mrs. Hanagan, who were very English, moved up from Toronto and built the house where Mother lived, across the street from Dorothy. Being a new home, the Hanagan house had indoor plumbing (toilet, tub, etc). The Joyce house (and lots of others in Creemore) did not. So Mrs. Hanagan used to say to Kay Joyce: “Now after you get the kiddies in bed, just slip across and have a nice, hot bath.” In telling this, Kay used to smile and say, “You know, it would have been so nice to put the kids into that tub instead of me!” But unfortunately, that invitation was never forthcoming! Last week’s Creemore Echo had a Letter to the Editor on “toplessness” by 17-year-old Sarah White. This was a well-written, articulate letter until you

Lust does not lead to rape Dear Editor: I can’t let Sarah White’s Letter to the Editor last week go unchallenged. I feel saddened that this young woman has such a low opinion of the opposite sex. It must be horrible to live in perpetual fear of being sexually assaulted because some woman, somewhere, bared her anatomy to a man. I can’t disagree that the sight of a pretty woman of healthy proportions, dressed or undressed doesn’t sometimes lead me to intimacy filled daydreams, but never do these thoughts take over my personality and turn me into a salivating and wanton Neanderthal. If men were like this, Wasaga Beach would be a constant scene of carnal carnage. Rape is an act of violence and power and not an act of sexuality. No sane man wants a woman without her expressed consent. Sure, men can get aroused by the sight of a well-turned calf, else the human race may not have survived to the extent it has. There are indeed men who rape, and yet there would be no more of these per capita than, say, cyclists who would ride two or three abreast on public roads. I would also like to address her
comments on the poor, uneducated women of third world countries. It is only our puritanical Western culture that has put a Victorian diffidence on the human form. If you are raised in a culture of unabashed nudity, it doesn’t produce the same distracting effect, and those cultures see nothing wrong with their God-given bodies. Why should they? They are heretics only in the eyes of judgmental fundamentalists who cannot assimilate the world beyond their myopic understanding. Does she actually believe that a sexual assault of one of these women could be prevented if we sent them a Guess t-shirt from Winners? The bottom line is that women can put themselves in harm’s way and can be raped. It isn’t their fault, but the world is an imperfect place. Promiscuous behavior in a set of circumstances where the environment is uncontrolled and/or unknown is a ridiculous practice anywhere, anytime and should be avoided at all costs. At the other extreme, I just don’t think that the Burkha is where women want to go to maintain their virtue. Murray Lackie, Creemore

The brewery’s site plan as it exists today is at left; the original December 2009 proposal for expansion is in the middle; the latest site plan is at right.
Brewery’s new site plan addresses several contentious issues (Continued from page 1) store more of its packaged products at its off-site facility (most likely on Edward Street, east of town, where Creemore Springs currently stores its trucks). To accommodate this extra shipping, an extra truck bay has been added to the east side of the warehouse. With the removal of water/malt delivery from Mill Street, the brewery has also changed its plans for the building’s main street facade. Originally, the plan called for an eventual extension of the new warehouse section to the sidewalk, with office space on the second floor
and possible retail space at ground level. Now, the plan calls for something similar to be done in the area where water/malt delivery takes place now, allowing future office space to be closer in proximity to the brewery’s current office area. Phasing for the plan has yet to be submitted, but would likely see the parking lot and warehouse built first, half the fermenting tanks built second, the Mill Street improvements built third and the rest of the fermenting tanks built last. “Once again, though, we want to stress that there’s no schedule for any of
this,” said Fuller. “What we really need right now is more warehousing space.” Rather than have to apply for another new site plan five or ten years from now, he explained that it was decided to do it all this time, even though a schedule for the full expansion has yet to be worked out. Contacted for his take on the new plan, brewery neighbour and vocal objector to the expansion Paul Vorstermans said “the latest site plan is a vast improvement over the first one but it still does not deal with the inadequacies in meeting the parking requirements
or the setback from the residential property line. The proposed expansion would make Creemore Springs the sixth largest brewery in Ontario, with a capacity that would only be a little less than the total combined output of all of the other 35 craft breweries, including Mill Steet and Steam Whistle. There are appropriate places for a beer factory of that size, and the middle of a residential neighbourhood is not one of them.” Creemore Springs plans to hold an information session to further explain their plans to the public on Thursday, July 8 from 4 to 7 pm at the brewery.

Stripped of authority, Council will stay silent on wind applications
Friday Night Gallery Crawl
by Brad Holden News that the Province has received a wind farm application for eight or nine turbines on the north side of County Road 91 in the vicinity of Fairgrounds Road (see ad on page 16) resulted in a minor showdown between Deputy Mayor Alicia Savage and Councillor Thom Paterson at Monday night’s meeting, and the eventual decision that Clearview Township will not devote any staff time to commenting on green energy applications under the Green Energy Act. The problem is that, thought the GEA has taken all decision-making authority away from municipalities on these applications, it is still requesting that they make comments to the Province regarding things like infrastructure, road access, emergency ramifications and archeological and natural heritage issues. This is to be done, however, without any mechanism available to recoup costs for the staff time spent on the process. Given the expected influx of green energy applications under the new act – the County Road 91/ Fairgrounds application is likely the first of several – and the controversial and potentially time-consuming nature of said applications, Deputy Mayor Savage put forth a motion that “no municipal resources, including staff time, be spent on applications circulated through the Green Energy Act.” “We do not have the resources for
this,” said Savage. “For the forseeable future, this is all we’re going to be dealing with, and I adamantly refuse to be dragged into it. We have so many other things to deal with, and we can’t go down this path when we have absolutely no authority over the outcome.” Councillor Paterson, however, argued the opposite: that the Township needs to comment on the applications, with regard to issues that are of concern to the municipality. “I’m not talking about having an opinion,” he said. “But we may have practical concerns. Now is the time to get engaged in a constructive manner. The province has shown that they aren’t listening to local people. But we are. By not responding at all, we’re saying that we’re not listening either.” Paterson, however, was not sure
������������� ������������� ����������������������� ���
how the necessary engineers’ studies, peer reviews and staff time would be paid for. He suggested a joint approach, partnering with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the more than 50 municipalities that joined Clearview earlier this year in criticizing the lack of local input under the Green Energy Act. Eventually, a vote was held on the issue, and Savage’s motion passed with only Paterson voting in opposition.
Council Remuneration
Council again tackled the difficult issue of their own remuneration Monday night, deciding eventually to forgo the addition of benefits and a pension plan and to institute Councillor Shawn Davidson’s suggestion from two weeks ago: that Council’s remuneration in 2011 will stay at the same level it’s been since 2006, and that every year after that

Winging it creemore dish
Wi t h s o many events going on in the community, the B&B has been getting busier with Elaine p e o p l e COLLIER trekking up to our neck of the woods not only on weekends but weekdays too. One of the main reasons seems to be “to check out the area” and most everyone inevitably heads into Creemore for a visit (after our “tourist talk” about how great the place is). Michael L’Ecuyer, his parents and his partner Ruth Ann Pearce stayed with us and here’s a little scoop. Michael and Ruth Ann are moving to Creemore from Toronto, and will soon be opening their art and design studio on Mill Street. Besides setting up their studio on the second floor of the visually vivid purple and yellow big building (aka the old Mad River Tea House), they will also be open to the public in the purple and yellow little building right beside it. They hope to launch by the Copper Kettle Festival at the latest. In the meantime, you can check out their work at www.michaellecuyer. com and www.ruthannpearce.com – they are also busy creating a combined website www.coloveration.com which is currently under construction but should be ready soon. Welcome to the growing neighbourhood! I also cooked a mid-week Gourmet Getaway for three couples from Sarnia, and what a lot of fun that was! One of our favourite things is to have a group of people stay who take over the whole B&B area and know how to have a good time. The sounds of laughter and good times certainly make us smile. I always give people the option of helping prepare parts of the meal, or sitting back with a glass of wine in hand and watching me work. Marj, Lyle, Rob, Solange, Ray and Joanne were all enthusiastic participants, rolling
up their sleeves and jumping into the cooking frenzy (while still enjoying some very fine wines). I managed not to blow myself up this time when making the French pastry cream which was used in the dessert so Stephen was glad not to have to hose down the kitchen this time around! All in all, some very happy culinary events chez Avalon over the past two weeks.
This week’s recipe is a versatile one – you can use it as a little appetizer prior to dinner, as a snack basket on a hot afternoon or as a main course. I originally created it as an “amusebouche” for my Gourmet Getaway menus at the B&B. Amuse-bouches are meant to be bite-size hors d’oeuvres served to tickle the diner’s taste buds in anticipation of a delicious meal to
Sauce: ¾ cup applesauce 1 tablespoon honey 1 clove garlic, minced 1 teaspoon cumin ½ teaspoon coriander 1 tablespoon ketchup 1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot sauce (Sriracha Chili Sauce or Tabasco Sauce) Fresh ground pepper Wash chicken wing pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a large bowl and toss with garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt and black pepper until the wings are all coated. Before barbequing, make the sauce. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside. Start outdoor barbeque and heat to medium (between 350 and 400°). Brush grills with canola oil. Put chicken wings on grill. Barbeque for 5 minutes and then turn to cook the other sides for another 4 to 5 minutes. The cooking times are approximate. Be careful not to burn them and remove when juices run clear. As an alternative, you can roast them in a 350° oven for about 30 minutes, turning once. As an “amuse-bouche” or appetizer, use 2 pieces per person. To plate, place one wing piece on top of the other on appetizer size plate, at 90 degree angle. Spoon 4 dots of sauce around the wing pieces or drizzle along the side. As a main, toss the barbequed wings in a bowl and serve the apple cumin sauce on the side. .

Turbines make bad neighbours. All across Ontario, rural communities and their elected officials are learning that Industrial wind turbines are not green, are not efficient, and are not economical. And that the legislation behind the wind turbines, Ontario’s Green Energy Act, removes all planning power from our local councils. Turbines will push electricity costs sky high while lowering land values in every community in which they are located. They will chase visitors, weekenders and residents away, hurt local businesses and cause serious health issues for nearby neighbours. Industrial wind turbines simply ruin communities.

The Glorious Twelfth Local History
When my sister and I were young we liked to open up the trunks in our upstairs and look at the treasures inside. In one of them we found ribbons and medals that had been our grandfather ’s when Helen BLACKBURN he belonged to the Orange Lodge in Creemore. We never knew our grandfather, Charlie Emmett, as he had died in 1905. One year not long before that he marched in the July Twelfth parade and got wet and chilled from the rain. The chill developed into a cold and then tuberculosis, which was rampant at the time. He died on my aunt’s 13th birthday and when my father was still just 11. That is a sad story that comes from the Loyal Orange Lodge, once a very popular Protestant brotherhood. The Twelfth of July commemorated the victory of the British at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 in Ireland. The organization, which espouses Protestant ideals, was founded in Canada and spread rapidly. Along with churches and schools, the Orange Lodge building was among the earliest built in pioneer days. Creemore’s first lodge was called Purple Hill, after a degree in the lodge, and was located on the Fourth Line South. A report on the front page of the July 17, 1902 Creemore Star indicates how big a celebration was the Twelfth of July in Creemore. Four cedar arches were erected on Mill Street with many flags flying. People started arriving as early as 7 am. Many came by train. There were an estimated 5,000 people in attendance with 25 lodges. Hotels and churches provided meals and as well there were many refreshment stands set up outside. The parade formed at the train station, now the location
of Foodland. It proceeded up Caroline Street to Collingwood Street, north to Louisa which is now County Road 9, east to Mill and south to McArthur’s grove by the river. Here there were many speeches and entertainment by various bands. The day was called a huge success. Again in 1910 all the area’s lodges came to Creemore. This time there were five cedar arches on Mill Street, with the one at Edward Street a doubleheader. Streamers of bunting, flags and mottos of welcome were everywhere. A band of 13
pieces came from Toronto as a special treat. A ball game between Creemore and Everett resulted in an 8-0 win for the home team. Awards were given later in the day. Clougher, south of Glencairn and west of Lisle, was the best dressed and also the largest lodge. The best marching lodge came from New Lowell and the oldest Orangeman was Dixon Wilson. A comment at the end remarked that there was not the least sign of intoxication, quite a change from parades of the past.
Avening Women’s Institute News On June 10 the members of Avening Hall W.I. drove to Dunedin to visit Metheral Meats. Agriulture Convener Joyce Millsap had arranged a tour of the Metheral Meats plant. It was a lovely evening and we all enjoyed the panoramic view of the Metharal farms with rolling hills dotted with hundreds of sheep. Neil gave us a tour of the plant. We saw coolers filled with beef, lamb and even goat carcasses waiting to be cut up. Neil and his wife Jean began the business in 1991. It was a struggle the first few years but their business has grown. Now their sons Rick and Dwayne are partners, and two grandsons are learning the butchering, meat packing and meat inspection trades. Metheral Meats now serves a large area, reaching from Toronto to Grand Valley and north as far as Wiarton. Joyce thanked Neil for his very
informative tour and talk. From there we went to the home of Marion McArthur, where President Dorothy Shropshire conducted as short business meeting. Eighteen members answered the roll call “Name a breed of cattle.” Many people named the breed that they had on the farm where they grew up, i.e. Shorthorn, Holstein, Hereford, Black Angus. The members signed a petition supporting the drugstores. This along with petitions from other Institute branches will be sent to the Premier of Ontario. Joan Morby reported that the bus for our trip to Big Chute and King’s Wharf Theatre on July 14 is full. She reminded us to meet the bus at Avening Hall at 9:30 am and bring a bag lunch. Final plans were made for John and Evelyn Knappett’s anniversary dinner on Friday, June 11. We will not meet again until September 9, at Avening Community Hall.

EARTH 1st at work at the Duntroon quarry: We improved water efficiency by constructing a new stormwater retention pond and using an environmentally superior piping system rather than rubber hoses. We use broad band back up alarms that only alert those in the vicinity of the equipment rather than disturbing wildlife and neighbours. We’ve switched to directional lighting to reduce light pollution. We conserved energy by reconfiguring the process, shortening our on-site haul route, installing programmable thermostats and installing timers on block heaters, lighting and other equipment. We reduce waste by composting, re-using old belting for noise and dust controls, using re-treaded tires and washing air-filters for re-use. We line key pieces of equipment with rubber to dampen noise and extend equipment life, and we’ve enclosed the crushers to reduce noise, dust and improve efficiencies.
