ELECTORAL REVIEW Wind farm opponents GETS UNDERWAY ordered to pay costs by Brad Holden Clearview Township’s Electoral Review Committee held its first meeting on Tuesday, outlining the four possible recommendations it could eventually make to Council: to reconfigure the municipality’s existing ward system, to decrease the number of wards, to maintain the status quo, or to dissolve the wards in favour of an at-large system. The committee also spent much of the night grappling with how to engage the public at large, across all demographics and the entire municipality, on the subject of electoral review, especially considering that most of the 15 or so residents who sat in the audience at
Tuesday’s meeting were of retirement age and from the Creemore area. Those members of the public were free to voice their opinions throughout the meeting, as Councillor Brent Preston, who was elected chair by both the committee and a show of hands from the audience, set up a meeting structure that encouraged free discussion among all present. An initial move by Councillor Thom Paterson to have two members of the public officially sit on the committee, which also includes Councillor Deb Bronee and Mayor Ken Ferguson as an ex officio member, was rebuffed given the tight time line governing the electoral (See “Electoral” on page 3)
by Brad Holden The 21 neighbours of the proposed Fairview Wind Farm who unsuccessfully sued developer wpd Canada and the two Beattie families who would host the turbines have been ordered to pay legal costs of $107,370.78. The plaintiffs, who had been seeking more than $17 million in damages due to loss of property value, will instead have to pay $68,498.59 to wpd Canada and $38,872.19 to Beattie Brothers Farms Ltd. and Ed Beattie & Sons Ltd. Justice S.E. Healey’s decision on costs, issued on Wednesday, July 24 reiterated her earlier findings that a loss in property value could not be
determined at this point, given that the Fairview Wind Farm project has yet to be approved and it is therefore impossible to know exactly what form it will take. Healey rejected the plaintiffs’ arguments that, despite losing the case, they had raised novel points of law, and that the court’s decision would have valuable bearing on future cases – both acceptable defences against having to pay legal costs. Further, Healey criticized the plaintiffs’ lawyer’s assertion in press releases and media interviews that a decision to hear the plaintiffs’ case in the best light during the prehearing – in essence, to pretend that the (See “Beatties” on page 3)

The Creemore Echo • Friday, August 2, 2013 •
Electoral Review Committee begins work (Continued from page 1) review process. With the Township’s policy requiring that any public openings on committees of Council be advertised, Preston instead suggested that the entire scope of the electoral review be split in two. The existing Electoral Review Committee, he said, could continue without representation from the public and deal strictly with the question of wards versus no wards, making a recommendation to Council by October 21 and leaving time for any appeals of that decision to occur within the statutory 45-day period before nominations for the 2014 election get underway on January 2. A second committee, Preston offered, could be struck to deal with roles, responsibilities and remuneration of Council members. That committee could include representation from the public and could continue its work into the new year if necessary, unhindered by the deadline imposed by the nomination period. A motion was then passed by the committee to make a recommendation to Council at its August 12 meeting that it form this second committee. Other decisions made Tuesday night included the setting of the Electoral Review Committee’s terms of reference and the formulation of a communication plan. The terms of reference, as passed, state that the committee will evaluate consultants’ responses to the Township’s Request for Proposals and report back to Council on August 12. The extent to which a consultant will be involved in the process will depend on the committee’s recommendation and Council’s decision. Once that decision is made, the Electoral Review Committee will “provide forums for educating and informing the community,” and
“collect and compile all information received from the community concerning the four options for consideration.” As for the nature of those public forums, it was decided Tuesday night that the Committee will hold four town hall meetings during the first two weeks of September – one in Creemore, one in New Lowell, one in Nottawa and one in Stayner. Two of the meetings will take place on weekends and two will take place on different days of the week, in an effort to give people maximum opportunity to attend. How the Township will get the word out to the public about those meetings and what’s to be discussed at them was a topic of great discussion on Tuesday. While Preston and Paterson promised to write columns in the local media and everyone agreed that a concerted effort should be made to communicate to the public on Facebook and Twitter, consensus was also reached on the possibility of a direct mailing or two. A decision on that approach will be made at the Committee’s next meeting, pending a report on the cost of making a Townshipwide mail drop. Clerk Pamela Fettes also pointed out that a dedicated “Electoral Review” page has been set up on the Township’s website (clearview.ca) and an email address, electoralreview@clearview.ca, has been established to receive comments from the public. The Electoral Committee will next meet at 9 am on Tuesday, August 6 in the Clearview Council Chambers. The public is invited to the meeting and will be allowed to participate as the Committee opens and evaluates responses to the Township’s request for proposals from consultants.

(Continued from page 1) plaintiffs’ points were proven in order to decide whether an actual trial was warranted – signalled any acceptance by the court that the plaintiffs had already suffered significant losses in property value. “It is erroneous to interpret [this] as establishing a precedent for the degree of proof required to establish a decrease in property values in these circumstances,” said Healey. Instead, she explained that the court had been engaged in a “legal fiction” in order to ascertain the best way forward. In awarding the costs to wpd and the Beattie farms, Healey used the following rationale: “The plaintiffs may have a political agenda,” she wrote, “but they also have private and community interest to protect, and potentially valid reasons for doing so. They should not be punished through an award of costs for attempting to vigorously advance their concerns. But nor will the defendants be required to bear the cost of those concerns when the claims were brought without foundation or basis in law at the time that they were advanced.” John Wiggins, the spokesperson for the plaintiffs, writes in a Letter to the Editor on page 4 that his group is prepared to sue again once the wind farm has been approved. “We’ll step up to the plate in court, for round two, if necessary,” writes Wiggins.

Opinion
EDITORIAL The No Name Holiday
We’d love to properly wish you a happy long weekend, but after doing a bit of research on Wikipedia, we realized that our upcoming holiday has no official name. Most would say it’s the Civic Holiday, but that designation is only official in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, Prince Edward Island, and Manitoba. Other might refer to it as Simcoe Day, which became the official name for the holiday in Toronto in 1969. But a motion at the Ontario Municipal Association to extend the name change province-wide failed that year, leaving municipalities to call it whatever they like. That’s happened in several places – it’s Colonel By Day in Ottawa, George Hamilton Day in Hamilton, Joseph Brant Day in Burlington, Founders’ Day in Brantford, McLaughlin Day in Oshawa, Alexander Mackenzie Day in Sarnia, James Cockburn Day in Cobourg, Peter Robinson Day in Peterborough and John Galt Day in Guelph – but no such motion has ever been passed here. If anyone has a suggestion for what we should call the holiday here in Clearview, we’d love to hear it. Post any ideas you have on our Facebook site!
LETTER
More postal woes in Mulmur
Dear Editor: To update you on the idiocy of Canada Post arbitrarily changing Mulmur residents’ mailing addresses from Creemore to one from Shelburne, I have found out that my auto insurance rates will be increasing over $500 per year. You might think that this is more a fault of the insurance company than Canada Post, and, to a degree, you would be correct, however, this would not be an issue if Canada Post hadn’t meddled with a system that worked well and changed it into one that didn’t. Now we in Mulmur who are subjected to this needless inconvenience are further penalized, and I haven’t yet phoned my insurance company because I am afraid that the result of that conversation will give me a stroke. I have also found that the uniforms issued to letter carriers at the cost of hundreds of dollars per person had the Canada Post decals start to detach from the shirts after being washed. If the reason for uniforms for rural postal carriers is to prevent alarm to residents when a package is delivered to the door (and what other reason could there possibly be?), wouldn’t a one-dollar ID card be the best solution? So now, thanks to the brilliance of those running this government-owned company, we have a system that costs the taxpayer more to deliver, more to needlessly equip with uniforms that immediately deteriorate, more for homeowners in related costs, more inconvenience, and just more absolute outrage at the way the taxpayer is being abused. It is shameful! David Bull, Mulmur

LETTER
Ready for round two, if necessary Dear Editor: In a preliminary legal challenge by we 27 local residents to wpd Canada Corp., Beattie Brothers Farms Ltd & Ed Beattie and Sons Ltd., objecting to the erection of eight, 475-foot-high, industrial wind turbines, adjacent to our properties, ironically known as the “Fairview Project,” the court has awarded costs to the defendants on the basis that the court case was premature, citing that the project had not yet been approved. The value of our homes and the enjoyment of their use is worth fighting for. It’s a fight to protect them from the monstrous incursion of wind turbines in our midst. It’s not just our homes, but all the homes and businesses in the area that will be negatively affected. Who will want to buy into an area where mammoth wind turbines are constantly churning away day and night? And how many will move away, rather than endure them? The negative impact on our community will be a lasting one. If the Ministry of the Environment approves the project, it will be a dereliction of conscience and a complete disregard of Clearview Council’s vote to denounce the project, the registered safety concerns of Collingwood Airport and the voice of Clearview constituents against it. However, if approved, it will
open the door to test our resolve to again fight the issue. We, as a group, are determined to deter the incursion of an economic catastrophe, caused by the greed of wpd and their host farmers, who are mindless to the effect on their neighbours. We’ll step up to the plate in court, for round two, if necessary. How sad, in an idyllic area such as ours where there’s always been a tradition of neighbours working in each other’s interest, that neighbours are now pitted against each other. People have always been attracted to this area, and people will continue to be attracted, unless wind turbines make it become anything but a “fair view.” John Wiggins, Clearview Township (on behalf of the 27 residents contesting the Fairview Wind Project installation)

The werewolves among us
by Brad Holden A multi-generational pack of werewolves, led by the “Alpha of Creemore.” A fairy pond in the middle of town, home to a door to another realm. While these may not be features on your mental map of Creemore, they feature prominently, believe it or not, in The Trouble With Fate and The Thing About Weres, the first two installments in the Mystwalker series of paranormal novels by Toronto writer Leigh Evans. And while she’s been writing the books for a few years and has made several covert trips to town for inspiration, her appearance at Curiosity House for a reading and signing on Saturday, August 10 will be the first time she faces the residents of Creemore and explains why she chose their village as the settings for her tale of werewolves and “faes.” “I’m really nervous,” said Evans in a phone conversation this week. “But also excited... I love Creemore, and I really want to be part of the community.” Evans was a mom-at-home whose kids had moved on when she struck up an online friendship with Charlaine Harris, the author of the Southern Vampire Mysteries, the books on which the popular HBO TV series True Blood were based.

Around that time, about seven years ago, as Evans was starting to formulate a plot, her sister came back from a day trip to Creemore and told her she just had to visit. “I took a drive up and said, ‘this is the place,’” remembers Evans. “It’s off the beaten track, it has all kinds of old-world charm, there’s all these artistic vibes that could easily trigger the paranormal. And besides, once I started saying ‘the Alpha

of Creemore’ over and over in my head – how perfect is that?” While the first book in the series features the main character Hedi Peacock, a native of Creemore, eluding the werewolves that originate in the village, the bulk of the action takes place in and around the University of Toronto. The second installment, just released last week, however, is set almost entirely in Creemore. And it’s a Creemore that readers will recognize, as well.
“If I say a book is set in Toronto, I’m going to put as many Toronto landmarks in there as possible – and the same goes for Creemore,” said Evans. “Early on, I decided that since most fantasy novels are set in the United States, I was going to make these very obviously Canadian. It’s time that readers saw us up here as well.” Leigh Evans will be at Curiosity House at 10 am on Saturday, August 10. For more information on the Mystwalker series, visit leighevans.com.

New Lowell News
Well, here we are entering into August. I sure hope you had time to enjoy July with all of its up and down weather. By all accounts the vegetable gardens have done well. Talking about gardens, on Sandra Wednesday evenings starting BEDNAREK at 6 pm come to the New Lowell Market in the Sports Recreation Park and see a great variety of delicious treats and handcrafts. There is something for everyone. Visit the Community/Library table and find out what is happening in and around our village; the children will get a special craft for reading this summer. Are you ready for a fun afternoon of golfing followed by a delicious roast beef dinner? Take part in the New Lowell United Church’s first Annual Golf Tournament at Wasaga Sands Golf Course on Sunday, August 25 at 1:30 pm. Gather a foursome and climb in your cart for 18 holes of golf/prizes/ and dinner, all for $100 (some of which will be tax-receipted). This is a fund raising project for the “Accessibility for All” project that the church is diligently working on. Call Tom Macham at 705-424-0579 or Sandra Bednarek at 705-424-6497 for further information. If you are cheering on someone and wish to just come for dinner the cost is $25. We need all of the registrations ASAP. Congratulations to lots of our local people this summer. Joyce Smith welcomed her sixth great-

grandchild. John and Gayle Gordon and Marilyn and Jim Steed celebrated their 50th Anniversary and special birthdays. Nora Snow had a grand party to celebrate her 90th birthday. Of course not locally, but in world news we celebrated the birth of His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, the third in line to be King of England, Canada and the Commonwealth (if you know me well I had to put that comment in!). The Brentwood Hall busy bees have been just that. Many contractors and volunteers have been working day and night to get the hall renovations done in time to continue with the hall usage. If you have some free time and would like to help out in any way please call Chris Vanderkruys, Deb Bronee or John McGillivray. Many hands can make the work go quicker and save some money. Are you ready to sing some old-time favourites and worship in a good, healthy summer environment? Then mark Sunday, August 18 at 10:15 am at the Pavilion at the Conservation Park on your calendars, for the New Lowell United Church’s annual Praise in the Park service featuring Al Beardsall and Lloyd Preston (from North of 50) as they along with Rev. Tony Rennett lead us in this great outdoor worship service followed by a light lunch. Bring a lawn chair as we go rain or shine! Did you hear the news? The Toronto Big Band is coming to play at the New Lowell Legion. This is an award-winning big band that plays all the music of the 40s/50s/60s with swinging and swaying. They will be
here on Saturday, September 28. This is a fundraiser for the New Lowell United Church’s Accessibility for All campaign. The cost is $35, with a light lunch at intermission. Please call Marilyn at 705-424-1034 or Jenn at 705-424-8687 for tickets. Big news in our village from a very quiet young lady. Sisika Duvalko has received the Gold Chief Commissioners Award, the highest award youth can receive in Guiding. It takes three years of hard work, dedication and commitment to her Guiding, home and world community. Countless hours of planning, volunteer hours and hard work goes into this award and she has carried it off with grace and humility. Sisika has also just earned The Commonwealth Award, The Ranger Service Award and completed the Ranger Cookie Challenge Award. We at the 1st Wasaga Beach Rangers are very proud to call her one of our own. Sisika has worked closely with our New Lowell Brownies in the last few years. If you are interested in volunteering in Guiding (New Lowell has Sparks, Brownies and Guides) please call Tammy Samuels at 705-424-5252 or email her at nlbrownies@gmail. com as soon as possible as the fall schedule will soon be arranged. Sympathy of the community goes out to Linda, Grant, Gavin and Gerred Ingram on the passing of Linda’s father Sean Butterly. Keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. That’s the news from in and around our community. Have a safe, happy long weekend.

Wasn’t That A Party?! Great weather too! I would like to thank everyone that came to “Millar’s Last Farm Bash” and brought presents and cards, which wasn’t expected. I would like to thank Jerry, Rob, Eric and all their families for helping with the yard sales and making the party a huge success and also to Eric for sending Chris, Scott and myself up in the helicopter to take the farm pictures. It was awesome and the lovely cake – Walt would have been proud of you. Thanks to Jim Knorr for the lovely buffet.
