NOTTAWA DEVELOPMENT GOES TO PUBLIC One of the major growth spurts proposed for Clearview Township will get its first public airing out on Monday, August 9 at the Council Chambers. A public meeting will be held that night for Clearview Developments, Inc., the company owned by Gian Del Zotto that has applied to build 396 residential units and a commercial component on 129 acres of land in the southeast corner of Nottawa. Of the 396 units, 329 would be
single-detached homes and 67 would be townhouses. The commercial component, consisting of retail units, office space and room for a farmers’ market, would front on County Road 124. The public meeting will be of interest to all Clearview residents because of its ramifications on future servicing in Nottawa and because Del Zotto has also applied to build a large development in New Lowell.
LOCAL FASHION
The Creemore 100 Mile Store will kick off its second annual 100 Mile Food Challenge with new t-shirts, designed locally, of course, by OCAD student Lucas Gordon (centre). The t-shirts will be on sale at the Farmers’ Market on Saturday, during which the 100 Mile Store will be serving an “all-local” pancake breakfast and handing out scorecards for the Challenge. Over the next week, people shopping at several “locally inclined” shops and restaurants in the area can get their scorecards stamped and be eligible for prizes. The 100 Mile Store will also host a raw food workshop and several other events throughout the week. For more information, call 466-3514 or visit www.shopcreemore. com/100milefoodchallege. (Modelling the t-shirts with Lucas above are, of course, Markie Boake, Jackie Durnford and Sandra Lackie.

OLYMPIC KEEPSAKES
Several people have been asking if they can purchase one of the Olympic banners that lined Mill Street this winter as a souvenir of the day the Olympic Torch came to Creemore. Seen here with four-year-old Brayden Paterson (grandson of Thom), the banners are available for a donation of $25 with all proceeds going to the Clearview Food Bank. If you would like to have one of these keepsakes of the Torch Relay, please contact Thom Paterson at 466-6321.
