by Trina Berlo Thanks to some very generous donors, RAY’s Place is able to give out three academic scholarships this year. Jordan Charles and Mikaela Bacon will each receive $5,000 each year for four years and Josh Swift will receive a one-year $5,000 scholarship. The three successful candidates were chosen out of 43 applicants, more than ever before received during the annual intake process. RAY’s Place scholarship selection committee chair Anna Hobbs said all three are well-rounded students with marks averaging in the 90s. They are athletic, they volunteer and show leadership qualities with high recommendations from educators. They were scored based an academic achievement, financial need and community involvement, among other things. “Each one comes from a single parent family and each one credited their mother with urging them on, supporting them over the years, sacrificing for them and the mothers came with them to meet the sponsors, it almost brought tears to your eyes, it was so meaningful,” said Hobbs. The students have had an opportunity to meet their sponsors and they are encouraged to keep in touch during their time at university. Jordan Charles graduated from Collingwood Collegiate Institute with a 92 per cent average. Charles, a Duntroon resident who recently moved to Shelburne, is going to Brock University in St. Catharines this fall to begin working toward a BA in child and youth studies. Charles, 17, was inspired to pursue a career in the field by her own family’s struggle to get help for her older sister, who has Asperger’s Syndrome. She saw (See “Students” on page 5)

Millsap was happiest on the farm working with family by Trina Berlo Paul Millsap wasn’t seen in town that often but Creemore was in his mind and in his heart. Paul spent most of his time on the farm, just south of Creemore, at Mount Zion. Even on his last day, Paul was working on the farm even though he didn’t feel well, said his wife Gayle Millsap. She said, he felt like he had a cold and was having trouble breathing but never complained of pain. He died of a massive heart attack on June 28 at the age of 74. “Even that day, I came home and he’d been out working with the boys,” said Gayle. He wasn’t feeling well but he ate and had a rest and went back out to work. When he came back in, his breathing was even more laboured so they headed for the hospital. He was taken to Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket. “They tried but the damage was too severe, they couldn’t help,” said Gayle. “They tried but he didn’t make it through the night.” Paul was a lifelong resident of the area, the fourth generation of Millsaps to farm his land. The first Millsaps came to Canada from Ireland in 1845 and built the house where Paul lived with Gayle and raised four children – John, Jennifer (Beattie), Brett and Andrew. Paul, with his gentle smile, was a hard working family man who was boisterous and friendly. He operated a 200-acre beef farm, with his son eldest son John. “Of course his other sons come back and help,” said Gayle. “When Dad calls, they come back. Everybody has a little finger in this pie.” Paul shared farming equipment with his late brother Glenn. They each had their own land next to each other and they had their own cattle but they shared the big, expensive machinery and work the land together,” said Gayle. They shared the work and the costs down the middle. “It was basically a 50-50 operation and when his brother passed away, Glenn’s son David became what you might call Paul’s working partner

when he took over for his dad. Even though the guys had their own farms and their own businesses, they still worked together as a family… That’s kind of how the Millsaps work. That’s the condition and the tradition they upheld.” Gayle said the arrangement allowed them to take a few holidays in recent years. She said although her husband was happiest at home. He was happy to have had the chance to travel to his ancestral home of Ireland. In the winter, when not on the farm, Paul enjoyed curling at the Creemore club. He curled one or two nights per week. In fact, Paul met his wife at the curling club. They were married almost 43 years. “I don’t know if I would have met him any other way but when I came to Creemore I took up curling and that’s how I met my husband,” said Gayle. She said during their marriage, Paul went every year to the Quebec International Bonspiel to curl for a

week. “He met numerous friends and personalities and really enjoyed his week in Quebec City, curling,” said Gayle. Paul was always keeping an eye on Creemore from up the hill. “People always laugh because he didn’t come in to Creemore very often but he was always concerned about Creemore,” said Gayle. He was engaged from a distance, and had a lot of ideas and opinions about Creemore. “He didn’t want to be on committees but he was concerned about his town. He’d go once a year to the Copper Kettle Festival and meet his friends and tour the town to see what was new and then he’d go back home again,”
said Gayle. More frequently in recent years, he would also come in to town to watch his grandson Luke play hockey. “He was so proud of his grandchildren, his children too but he really enjoyed his grandchildren,” said Gayle. There are six grandchildren in total, including Grace, Libby, Luke, Kaylan, Sloan and Avery. He is also survived by his sister Donna Lowe and brother Dennis. Family and friends gathered for the funeral July 2 at St. John’s United Church and burial at Creemore Union Cemetery. Donations can be made in Paul’s memory to the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital or Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre.

The Way we were
RAY's Place meets growing need RAY’s Place is making a big difference in the lives of young people. The multi-faceted organization has stepped up its scholarship offerings this year, giving out $48,000 in scholarships and bursaries. RAY’s Place has been giving out one scholarship each year since 2012. This year, the committee managed to secure enough funds to help send three promising youth on the path to fulfilling their dreams by getting a jumpstart on the funding of their education. Statistics show that about half of Canadian students will have to borrow to pay for at least part of their education. It has also been found that the average Canadian student graduates from post secondary school with a debt of about $20,000 or more. That will seem like a hole too deep to get out, especially after an inevitably slow start to a career in any desired field. In this economy, there is a lot of competition for a few jobs but young people are expected to have some sort of post secondary education, be it a trade or academic pursuit. With tuition on the rise, the cycle will continue. RAY’s Place matches willing benefactors with promising youth who may otherwise not be able to pay for their education. The committee received a record 43 applications this year, meaning there is a growing discrepancy between those who want to go to college or university (and have positioned themselves appropriately and have the necessary academic requirements) and those who have worked out a way to pay for schooling. The tuition of course is just one portion of what will inevitably be a costly endeavor. In the case of all of the RAY’s Place scholarships, individuals have put up all of the money allocated to each student. It is so heartwarming that there are families out there who have extra money and are willing to pay for the schooling of a complete stranger based on an application form and an essay. It should be noted however that RAY’s Place does more than help youth pay for their schooling. The work starts much earlier. Through various programs, youth are encouraged and mentored in developing business skills and are given access to tutoring and other skills development. It must be acknowledged that the organization is in a transitional phase, moving away from the Renta-Youth (RAY) program for which the organization is named. It is no longer an employment agency for youth but it continues to hekp them build the skills necessary to get through high school and get some kind of post secondary education and that is in keeping with the organization’s original mission. The success can be seen in the results of this year’s rollout of scholarships. We know of several students who will make RAY’s Place proud as they enter the next phase of their academic careers this fall. Congratulations to all.

Action plans directed at upper middle class Editor: When I was a young boy living at home, my father was a “carded” Conservative. My mother was a well-read person with an interest in the environment and practiced a reuse sustainable living lifestyle. She also voted the same as my father. When I was about 22 or 23 years old, my mother introduced me to the book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. I spent the next 50-plus years travelling, having children and working to support them, and following in my father’s political choice. My life started to change after hearing Elizabeth May speak when she was still associated with the Sierra Club. About this time, I retired from working and had time to get out and enjoy all aspects of nature throughout all of Canada and started to follow all the various local, national and world environmental groups and organizations. It was about then that I acquired a used copy of Silent Spring and reread it. I have come to realize our quality of life and environment are controlled by corrupted local, provincial and federal government through controls and policies. I am writing this letter as I have just received another free mailing, personally addressed to me (taken from Revenue Canada filing) from my Conservative MP trying to extoll all the supposedly great virtues of their Economic Action Plan 2015. These action plans are more directed to the affluent upper middle class and not to the pensioned lower middle class like myself. Also, there is nothing in the plans to protect our future environment. In fact, many of the bills they have passed are destroying our social
and environmental wellbeing. If my mother were alive today, I know she would be voting independently Green and not following her husband/my father’s political choice. P.S. Just last week I received another junk mailing from MP Kellie Leitch. The extolled benefits do not in any way offset the destruction of the environment by corporately controlled interests. Marty Bruce, Collingwood.
Taking the good with the bad Editor: Congratulations to Creemore Springs Brewery for the work they put into making the expansion so attractive and in keeping with the look of Creemore. Well done. Congratulations also to the Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society for all the work they did to make the garden tour such a success. Despite the inclement weather, gardeners from home and away still came and enjoyed the many gardens so graciously opened to the public. On another note, it is a sad day in Creemore when a scoundrel takes planters from two stores on main street. These storeowners work hard and also do their part in making Mill Street attractive. Shame on those responsible for thieving! How about returning them at midnight and know one will say anything except thanks? Juliana Bryant, Creemore.

Students pursue dreams with help from RAY's Place (Continued from page 1) there is a lack of help for people with autism spectrum diagnoses. “It’s a growing concern, there are many kids being diagnosed with autism and there’s no help for them so I want to contribute to helping them,” said Charles. “My mom is a single mom and she can’t pay for my education. Because I have to pay for my education by myself, this is a great help to be able to achieve my education. I really appreciate the RAY’s Place organization. They are a great help to kids like myself.” Mikaela Bacon, with a 91 per cent average, is one of the top students at Nottawasaga Pines Secondary School in Angus. The Utopia resident is taking a Bachelor of Science at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver this fall with the goal of becoming a physiotherapist or a sports therapist. Initially interested in medicine, Bacon said she had second thoughts and decided to focus on physiotherapy. “My passions include athletics. Helping people with injuries get back on their feet was my calling. I don’t know if physiotherapy/sports therapy is where I will end up, but it’s my interest now, and yes, it may change when I get to school or after first year or maybe even

tomorrow, but the assistance RAY’s Place has offered me is getting me to school to get the education I need for whatever path I choose. I’m forever grateful for what they do, and I would not be where I’m headed without them,” she said. Josh Swift, also a Nottawasaga Pines Secondary School graduate, ended the year with a 90 per cent average. He served as student council president in Grade 12 and vice-president in Grade 11. The Baxter resident is attending
Western University in London where he plans to one day major in sports medicine, physiotherapy or muscle and bone rehabilitation. “It is a really big opportunity to help me out and getting through school. I think it’s amazing that there are people out there and organization like RAY’s Place who help students out. It really helps,” said Swift. Swift, 18, said a football injury opened his eyes to the importance of those fields and physiotherapy played
an important role in his recovery. As an example of community involvement, Swift held a winter clothing drive. He asked the Township of Essa to donate ice time and opened the rink to public skating. Instead of charging admission he asked people to donate used winter clothing. CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, February 1, 200 RAY’s Place also gave out four bursaries: $1,000 each to Davin Metheral and Sara Barbadoro and $500 each to Rebecca Redpath and Clayton Whitley.
RAY's Place hopes to expand with support from township by Trina Berlo RAY’s Place would like to see its programs extended to youth throughout Clearview Township. The Creemore based youth service wants township support as it expands a youth summer employment program and promotes post secondary education. RAY’s Place, which has recently given out thousands of dollars in scholarship funds, is the home base for the Rent-a-Youth program, which used to pair student workers with people
who needed odd jobs done. This year, the program changed to help workers develop their own businesses, removing themselves as the middleman. “We thought the old program was long on handholding and short on creating initiative,” RAY’s Place chairperson Doug Mills told council June 22. He said they are looking for a “joint venture” to extend the possibilities associated with RAY’s Place to more youth in Clearview.

When talking about economic development, he said preparing youth for careers should be a priority. “This is the kind of economic development that ought to be looked at, it’s cheaper than reinventing the logo,” said Mills, adding later on, “The focus is on keeping kids busy, getting them some money and getting them into post secondary education or they will be working for $12 an hour for the rest of their lives.” Council members struggled to see how the township could be involved but in the end it was agreed that a working committee would be struck to explore the possibilities. Failing interest from council, said Mills, RAY’s Place will continue with the program, as is. Councillor Thom Paterson said council often talks about youth programming. “Perhaps this is the catalyst for
getting to the program level of youth services,” he said. Councillor Kevin Elwood said he employs many people, including students, at his business and it is quite a lot of work to organize the workers. “I need some more convincing,” he said. Back in the day, said Elwood, young people went out and found their own jobs. “I don’t know if it’s part of the Clearview Township’s mandate to shepherd students to a neighbour’s to do some work,” he said. “Maybe some hand-holding is required. It’s unfortunate but it seems to be the truth,” replied Mills. Councillor Deborah Bronée opposed the motion to strike a working committee but said if it were struck, the public should be invited to participate, perhaps negating the need for township involvement.

NDBL all-star games set for July 4 in Midland
by Alex Hargrave Coming into the make and break months of the North Dufferin Baseball League (NDBL), New Lowell Knights lead the 14-team senior league and surprisingly, the two Creemore teams are doing ok. New Lowell, 14-2-3, is duking it out with the Aurora Jays and Clearview Orioles for top spot, although fourth place and defending league champion Ivy Leafs is always dangerous. The Jays, 12-3-0, have played two fewer games than the Knights and the Orioles, 11-5-1, are not far behind. Gasp, that’s not a lot of breathing space from first to third. Ivy is 9-4-1. New Lowell beat the last place Nobleton Cornhuskers 6-0 Thursday, and continued their wining way with a 10-2 over Orangeville, 5-6-2, Saturday. Sean Connor and Todd Gowan each hit two-run homers in the Orangeville game. Gowan also pitched a beauty allowing just one hit. Brad Grieveson, who was raised in Creemore, is the Leafs pitcher and probably the league’s best pitcher. He has won that award many times in the NDBL. Not to mention a resume that lists he is an alumnus of the Barrie Bay Cats and won a U.S. college world series. On Friday, the Leafs and Orioles met with Grieveson in the slot for the pitching assignment. He pitched the seven innings striking out 16 in a 5-4 Ivy win. Despite Creemore’s Gowan Memorial Park housing two senior teams and one junior team, the clubs have decent records; the Braves are 5-8-2 and the Barons boast better numbers, 8-7-0. Neither team can come close to matching the Creemore Junior Barons, who are perched majestically on top of the junior league with an enviable 10-2 record. Sunday the Braves played a double header against the 6-7-0 Barrie Angels getting blasted in the opener 12-0 but put things together in the second tying the score 6-6 before it was called after five innings because of rain. Ethan Henry pitched the game for the Braves as well as hit a three-run homer. The home run was Henry’s third in three games. On June 24, Henry cranked two balls out of the park for five RBIs in their 11-3 win over the Mansfield Cubs who are playing at a .500 pace with a 7-7-0 record. Ty Linger smacked a solo shot for Mansfield. Brett Trott earned the win. Creemore Barons news is that they are hosting a golf tournament July 25 at Bear Creek Golf Club. It’s a four-man scramble. Cost is $100. Contact any Baron is you are interested. Note: the annual all-star games in the North Dufferin Baseball League are set for Saturday, July 4 at Midland’s Tiffin Park with many local ball players competing. The first game between the East and West divisions on the senior side starts at 1 p.m., followed by the junior game between the Crushers and the Slammers at 4 p.m.
