Creemore is all about kids this Saturday
By Trina Berlo Downtown Creemore will be all about kids August 1 during the Creemore Children’s Festival. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. the streets will be overrun with reptiles, artists, vendors, princesses, everything and anything to do with children. The festival was first conceived by Laurie Copeland, owner of Cardboard Castles Children’s Emporium, on Creemore’s main street. A committee of organizers is bringing in some high caliber entertainers for the main stage, including Puppet Tamer Tim Holland. Primarily a ventriloquist, Holland also performs on a high unicycle, juggles fire batons and does hilarious thing with stilts and costumes, making himself very fat and very slim. Also on the roster is Miss T The Bubble Queen and her team of bubbleologists who will put on a Bubbleology Show, astounding people with the science and art of bubbles, manipulating them into impossible shapes including bubble carousels, bubble volcanoes, bubble chains, 3D square bubbles and a friendship bubble arch. They can even put a person inside a bubble and blow bubbles out of a bubble while standing in a bubble. Using the show to bring in a bit of education, bubbleologists talk about how bubbles are related to the physical laws of the natural world. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is coming to the festival’s main stage. The To Be Determined Theatre Company production is based on the popular children’s book by Judith Viorst. There will be a children’s marketplace from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. where customers can pick up products made by young entrepreneurs. Reptiles, facepainting, balloons, music, magic, science and crafts are also planned. For full details, visit creemorechildrensfestival.com.

Helen Smart is surrounded by her neighbours Dresdon Dupuis, Anson Dupuis, Lukas Hayward and Jakob Hayward, some of the boys who came to her rescue when she needed them most.
Heroes come in all sizes By Trina Berlo Helen Smart sure was happy to see the neighbourhood children coming down the street the day she got herself into a bit of trouble. Smart had gone out to lunch with a friend. She had been quite ill and was recovering after a medical procedure and a lengthy stay in hospital. The Creemore resident was lunching at O’Shea’s, not far from her home on Jardine Crescent. While walking back home, using a walker, one wheel got caught on the gravel driveway and Smart toppled over into the ditch.
“I was sitting there in the ditch and all the kids were coming home from school and I thought it was kind of funny,” Smart told The Echo. “I couldn’t help but laugh.” Luckily she wasn’t injured, except for a small cut on her hand, but she couldn’t get herself upright. It was the end of June and all the neighbourhood children were walking down the street, on their way home from school when they came across Smart lying on the ground. “By the looks of it, a rock hit her wheel and she fell into the ditch,” said Jokob Hayward, 9.
Anson Dupuis, 10, said the children were able to pull Smart up and help her get back on her feet. The whole rescue went so well, they didn’t call for help. “That was the one thing we forgot to do, was get an adult,” said Dupuis. The boys made sure Smart was home safe and sound. “She gave us treats for helping,” said Hayward. Sabrina Stamp-Dupuis said she was very proud of her boys. “You know you have good parents when you have good kids,” said Smart. “They sure were a help.”

Avening Hall gets $110,000 grant
By Sara Hershoff Avening Community Centre has received a $110,000 grant as part of the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program. The announcement was made at the Avening hall on Thursday by SimcoeGrey MP Kellie Leitch. “This grant is designed to support infrastructure projects that reflect each community’s needs,” said Leitch, endorsing the value of all of the small halls throughout Clearview and the role they play within the township. The Government of Canada launched the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program last May and will provide $150 million over two years to support the rehabilitation, renovation and expansion of existing community infrastructure. It is part of the federal government’s activities to honour Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017. The application was made by
township staff last June. Avening Hall was selected because it had the greatest deficiencies of all the Clearview halls according to a report created by Burnside and Associates in 2012. The application outlines a $215,000 budget. $4000 is expected to be raised by the community and staff will place the remaining requirements into the 2016 budget for the consideration of council. Original estimates in the Burnside report to address safety, structural and accessibility needs at Avening Hall were $293,000. Some of the items in the report have already been repaired. “The Avening Community Centre has always existed to serve the whole community and this grant will help the hall in ensuring the whole community has access to this wonderful building,” said Hall board chair Bill Hewitt, upon hearing of the grant. FedDev Ontario received more than 1,100 applications, requesting more than $260 million in funding.
Wonderful commercial building transformed from its original use as fire station into superior office/commercial /retail space. Retaining its’ original charm of yesteryear the building was totally refurbished utilizing the current owner s expertise as a custom builder showcasing superior style and finishes.

Dreams come to life Editor: The vision to build safe, secure accessible housing has been foremost in my mind since moving to Creemore 10 years ago. Late in May I met with Trina and Sara at The Echo to ask if we could hold a meeting at the Station on the Green. Both Sara and Trina became very interested in the purpose of our meeting. The following Friday, to my surprise, Trina had written a story of the vision that our team had. Two weeks later our meeting was held with over double the number of people we expected. The dream became live!
The Echo story and support was the great impetus we required to move the idea from head to paper to action. Without the efforts of The Echo, our story may still be a story. However, because everyone reads The Echo, the dream is alive and well. Thank you Sara and Trina for your enthusiastic approach to our story and vision. Your words have travelled far and wide and have helped to ignite the vision. Thank you, Thank you. Wendy Schellenberg, Creemore.

Ernie Herzig lived with a focus on balance and beauty
By Trina Berlo A kind and gentle soul, Ernie Herzig had an eye for beauty and a strong sense of equality. His wife of 61 years, Rivette, said he was a true gentleman in every way and also vibrant, hard working with a wonderful sense of humour. “I don’t think he ever raised his voice to the children,” said Rivette. “I miss him.” She said Ernie was a country boy at heart and was happy to spend time in Dunedin where the couple created a peaceful retreat. Over the years, he kept sheep, planted many trees and created beautiful gardens. Ernie was born in a small farming town in Switzerland. After school he entered into a four-year apprenticeship with one of the best graphic arts companies in Zurich. As a requirement of the apprenticeship, Ernie took art classes at Kunstgewerbeschule, where he developed an appreciation for the arts. Rivette said she and Ernie met in Switzerland. “We used to take our meals at a certain pension,” she said. “When he started talking about emigration, it became romantic.” They decided they would go wherever Ernie found work. He was keeping an eye on the trade magazines, which at the time had numerous job postings for positions all over the world but he ended up going abroad with the hope of a job rather than a promise. Rivette said he had an adventuresome nature and wanted to expand his horizons and further his skills. He decided to come to Canada, where he had a brother living in Orillia. It was 1953 and Ernie was 23. When he arrived, realizing how small the community was, he made his way to Toronto. Rivette joined him in 1954. “It was a good time,” she said. “Ernie found a job right away.” He was employed in the publishing industry, in a prepress house. At that time, images bound for publication would be processed by a colour corrector or dot etcher before being approved for print.

Rivette said Ernie was very talented and was quickly promoted. “Before you knew it, he was in charge of the colour department, at a different company.” After 10 years in the industry, Ernie and Rivette took a trip to Switzerland where they were offered a partnership in a company with one of Ernie’s former employers. Rivette said they decided to start their own company in Toronto, where they had already bought a house and were raising two sons. “We thought we could do better in Canada,” she said. “I had such faith in him, I said, here’s all our savings. Let’s start something.” The Herzigs partnered with Bill Somerville and
Herzig-Somerville was born. Rivette said Ernie and Bill took care of the technical aspects of the pre-press work and she ran the office. They started in colour separation and gradually moved into fine printing of books and art prints. They worked with some of the top artists, making sure the prints were just right before going to press including Alex Colville, Alfred Pellan, Harold Town, Christopher Pratt and Group of Seven artist Lauren Harris. Rivette recalls travelling to Vancouver to meet with Harris to show him the proofs. In the end, at the time it was sold, there were 135 people working at Herzig-Somerville. Ernie mentored many people in the business who went on to be quite successful, said Rivette. In his later life, Ernie took time for his own artwork, painting, drawing and sculpting. In 1995, Ernie studied sculpture at Ontario College of Art and Design, where there is a bursary in the Herzigs’ name. Rivette said Ernie always worked on his sculptures, chiseled by hand, in his studio at the family’s weekend home in Dunedin, purchased in 1976. The home’s expansive gardens are dotted with Ernie’s sculptures, depicting male and female in perfect balance, different but equal. “Ernie was always a big advocate of gender equality,” said Rivette. “Most of his sculptures show male and female in harmony.” Harmony is the name he gave the bronze sculpture he donated to the village of Creemore last fall, which is installed at Station on the Green. Ernie died on June 8 at the age of 83 from an aneurism. The family held a private service in Dunedin. He will be remembered as a loving husband and father, artist, philanthropist and businessman, a great cook, who loved to barbecue for friends and family, an ardent skier and long-time member at Craigleith Ski Club. “He was a country boy at heart,” said Rivette. “Barefoot in the summer and on skis in the winter.”

Bike park a proposed attraction By Trina Berlo Creemore resident Jon Tamlin was before Clearview Township council July 13 asking members to support the creation of a bike park. Tamlin said a 10-member committee of parents with school-age children has been brainstorming ideas for the design and the location of the park. Tamlin told council members that the ideal location is within an area west of the skatepark at the Creemore arena that is less than one acre in size. He said there are already many

In the first phase of development, the committee is proposing dirt ramps and berms to create the course then adding obstacles made of wood and rock. Council agreed to refer the proposal to the parks and recreation committee at its next meeting in September.

clubs would have been considered taking a run at A through DD titles. For example, the Knights are going to Kendal to compete at AA, previously this would have been B. Clearview is headed to Port Lampton in the A (formerly C) round; Ivy, Lisle, Creemore Barons and Creemore Braves travel to Wyoming for a chance to win a B championship (D); and Angus hopes to claim a C title (DD). Finally, have you heard that former Detroit Wings tough guy and Stanley Cup champion Aaron Downey is operating a fitness-training centre for local athletes around Honeywood? From what I’ve heard it is the type of place Rocky Balboa would want to train at.

McLeod
July 17, 1946 – March 15, 2015
Cadet Ian Jones
Born Collingwood, raised on Springhill Farm. Proud daughter of WD and Daisy, sister to Halcyon & Grant (Waterloo). Teacher at the Board of Education, Toronto. Mother of Kerri & Shane, grandson Malcom Robinson. Wife of Donnie Turner (Dunedin) and resident of Woodbridge, Ontario. Blessed to be raised amongst folks from Glen Huron, Dunedin, Creemore and the McLeod clan. A wonderful Glen Huron girl, Islay did not like the big city, however, you were always close to her heart. A sincere in the heart appreciation for all condolences. The people that ventured into the traffic of the city to be with our family at Islay’s memorial: Donna & Wayne Hammill, Maxine & Bryan Ferguson, Kathy & Larry Halliday, Judi & Robin Boyce, Connie & David Boyce, Patsy Jackson (Young), Mariane & Charlie McLeod, Betty (Don) McLeod, Judy Milley (Arnold). Those not able to be present know your thoughts have risen us up and that dark place brightened. You always remain in the rivers of our memories. One of Islay’s favourite songs describes you all the best. “Sometimes out of touch, never out of love.�
