NOTTAWA DISCUSSES GROWTH by Brad Holden A standing-room-only crowd of Nottawa residents gathered at the Clearview Council Chambers Monday night to have their say about a 422-home development proposed for 52 hectares south of the McKean subdivision. The project would draw its water from the Collingwood/New Tecumseth pipeline, and sewage would be pumped into the Collingwood system. While it was clear the majority of the audience was there for this portion of the agenda, only eight people stood to address Council. Three people were staunchly against the proposal, citing it would put “too many houses in the wrong place” and pointing out that many in Nottawa had moved there for the rural atmosphere, something that would be changed with the addition of such a development.

SUMMER LIBRARY FUN Alysha, Johnny, Ethan, Lucas and James are

some of the many kids who have enjoyed playing with the Clearview Library Creemore Branch’s Active Fun Kit this summer. The kit, which is a large hockey-sized bag containing various types of physical activity equipment, is provided by the Simcoe County Good For Life program and is available to be loaned out for birthday parties, community picnics, family reunions, or just for fun. For more news from the Clearview Library, see page 12.

Election Update

The 2010 Clearview Township Municipal Election slate grew a little larger this week, with Duntroon resident John Millar filing to challenge Orville Brown for the Ward 2 (Duntroon) seat. Also recently confirming her intention to run for re-election was Caroline Smith, who has served the last two terms as Simcoe County District School Board Trustee for Collingwood and Clearview Township. Nominations are due on September 10 and Election Day is October 25. For an up-to-date list of candidates who have filed so far, visit www.clearview.ca and click on the Municipal Election 2010 link.

Other speakers focused on the water and sewer component, and were either hopeful that such a development would allow other residents to hook into full services or concerned that such an eventuality would be mandatory and prohibitively expensive. Concluding the public meeting, several Councillors said that any future decision on the file would hinge on servicing and phasing, and said the next piece of information necessary would be a report from Public Works on how the servicing of this development would affect servicing of the hamlet as a whole. “The most important factor is how this integrates with the existing community,” said Councillor Thom Paterson. Discussions between the Township and the developer will continue.

County provides funding to G&M On behalf of Simcoe County Council, Warden Cal Patterson presented a cheque for $307,993 to Shelley Wells, Chair of the Board of Trustees for Collingwood General & Marine Hospital this week. Funding from the County of Simcoe will cover almost half the cost of the renovation and expansion project now underway at the Collingwood General & Marine Hospital. The Phase 1 Clinical Redevelopment project is the first step in the hospital’s plan to address the severe space shortage in the existing facility. “The County of Simcoe is continuing to honour our financial commitment to health care,” said Patterson. “This is just one of many significant investments in regional hospitals through the Simcoe County Hospital Alliance that County Council will be making to ensure our residents have access to high quality health care here at home.” In 2007, County Council committed $30 million in funding to the Simcoe

County Hospital Alliance (SCHA) over a 10 year period to provide support for hospital capital projects. This SCHA is comprised of all the hospitals in the area which provide care for County residents. “We are pleased to have our Phase 1 Clinical Redevelopment project underway that will see expansion to several clinical areas including the Emergency Room Triage and reception area, Dialysis, the Operating Room, Endoscopy suite, and the Sterile Processing Department. This expansion would not be possible without the partnership of the County of Simcoe and the Collingwood G&M Hospital Foundation,” said Wells. Linda Davis, President & CEO of CGMH, continued, “It is our hope that we will receive a planning grant from the Ministry of Health which will allow us to begin to plan for a major expansion to the G&M. This longer term project will be designed to meet the needs of our communities over the next 25 years.”

Avening gets new bridge for its 150th birthday by Myrtle Carruthers Following four months of reconstruction on the Avening Bridge over the Mad River, tourists and residents alike can celebrate its reopening this week. No more lines of cars waiting at the stoplight for three minutes, to proceed to their destinations. When this bridge was built in 1964 to replace the 1924 steel one, the traffic was able to use the road which went west of the Carruthers Mill. The 1964 bridge was of longer and higher construction to handle the expected floods which occurred every spring. We residents of Avening can always remember 2010, the year of the new bridge construction, as it just happens to be the hamlet’s Sesquicentennial! In 1860 Mr. Thornbury and Son had carding, grist and saw mills on the Mad River (near the present pavilion in the park). They came from Avening in Gloucestershire, England, and named their new village after their hometown, surveying it and expecting it to become large and thriving. To celebrate the Avening Centennial in 1960, a weekend celebration on July 23 as very successful. It included a mile-long “Parade of the Seasons” which began at the Coates farm (“Lilac Downs”) and ended at “Clydebank Farm.” Aiport Road was

At left, a picture of the 1924 Avening bridge, taken from the east. At right, a picture of the 1964 replacement bridge, from the same vantage point. closed during the celebrations, and the Air Force Band from Base Borden led the parade through the village, entertaining the many visitors. The surprise package of the whole parade was a real live steam engine, moving and whistling on its own steam as in days of yore. It was in the parade with compliments

of Howard Noble, an Avening old boy. Can you imagine the Airport Road being closed today to enable another celebration of this sort to happen? There have been many changes in 50 years! Happy Sesquicentennial, Avening.

The village of Avening, in Gloucestershire, England, seen above, was the namesake for the Clearview Township hamlet of Avening, founded 150 years ago.

Opinion EDITORIAL

The Dog Days of Summer

This time of year is always a quiet one for local news. Council’s only meeting once a month, people are either busy in the fields or off on holidays, and a glace at our calendar page shows that even the weekends have become rather subdued. But never fear, September is fast-approaching, and with it an annual flurry of activity. It will start with the Copper Kettle Festival (on August 28), the village’s annual chance to catch up after summer. Then school will be underway. Hockey will soon follow. A week-and-a-half in, the municipal election will kick into high gear once the nomination deadline comes and goes. Socially, the fall is always a busy time in Creemore. The Market celebrates its birthday on Labour Day weekend with the Children’s Market, and follows that with the Apple Festival and finally the Thanksgiving wind-up. The Studio Tour and the GNE are grand traditions in late September. Word is that the New Farm and the Friends of the Mad River have another show planned for September 18, a follow up to the successful Fred on the Farm. October, of course, is Creemore Mocks season. And before you know it, Santa Claus will be here again. Enjoy these dog days of summer Creemore. Before you know it, we’ll be busy again.

SAYINGS

Several takes on the bonds of matrimony SAYINGS

It has been a busy summer. There have been dances where you could win a car, dances that are actually fundraisers for nearly wed couples and dances that celebrate the fact that you Cat survived high school and FLACK lived to tell tall tales about it. It is the fundraisers for the soon-to-be-betrothed that fascinate me. The premise is that you rent a hall (the bigger the better), then sell tickets to anyone that will buy one. You hire someone to play music at ear-splitting decibels and get in as much beer and booze as what is legally allowed, and you are now set to party hard! Thing is, a lot of family come out to party with the crowds, only the music is so loud and everyone is so relaxed from the booze that conversations are almost impossible. I spend most of the night politely nodding my head in the “yes” response. What I am saying yes to? I have no idea, for all I know the person might have been asking me if my Aunt Lucy died or was she still in recovery mode? And I don’t have an Aunt Lucy. It doesn’t matter, the main objective is to amass funds for the best wedding that the happy couple could possibly have. So let’s raise a glass in congratulatory salutation to the blessed couple who embarks on a lifelong voyage of marital bliss. To all of you who are getting

DRY STONE WALL WORKSHOP

This conceptual photograph shows a new dry stone wall that will be built in front of Knox Presbyterian Church in Dunedin from Thursday, August 19 to Saturday, August 21. Funds for the wall are coming out of a gardening fund for the church started by Anna and Bill Hobbs, and the wall will be built in Bill’s memory. If anyone would like to learn a little about the art of dry stone walls, the building of this wall will be done in workshop fashion, with a representative of the Dry Stone Wall Association of Canada providing the instruction. Any interested people are welcome to take part for a small fee. For more information or to sign up, call Anna Hobbs at 466-2791 or email ahobbs@hobbswines.com.

And no, Scott, you cannot tie her up in the basement – even if you think it will be for her own good! In the notebooks that Jim Madill loaned me, I came across an item in the August 6, 1959 Creemore Star that said, “Miss Irma Ritchie, a Creemore girl, was chosen Dairy Princess for Simcoe County.” Well, Irma Ritchie is now Irma Flack and could still probably hold her own on a more mature “Queen for Simcoe County” competition! Next week will be our 12 noon pot luck lunch.

“Thanks a lot, Sylvia!” I was mystified until she told me that she has been getting phone calls from friends that say something to the effect of “I saw in the Echo where you are in the Senior’s News. Well, maybe now that you are forgetting things like your wallet on the truck bumper, you are in the right section of the paper, and maybe you are a prime candidate to join Seniors!” or something along that line. But don’t despair, Lorraine. Sure, most of us forget at times – and do dumb things at other times. But the beauty of it all is that you can forget just how dumb you have been.

The Mary Barrie maquette.

Friday, August 13, 2010 •

Hugh Russel, Diana Hillman and Ian Sinclair get ready for their August 21/22 art show.

Go south, Creemore – there’s much art to be found by Brad Holden Art lovers eager to get a sneak peak at Creemore’s soon-to-be newest public masterpiece should venture down into the heart of Mulmur Township on Saturday, August 21 and Sunday, August 22, when acclaimed sculptor Hugh Russel will host a show at his home, featuring his own work and that of four of his friends. Russel is busy working on a commission for the family of Mary Barrie, who plan to have the sculpture placed in a new garden in front of the Creemore branch of the Clearview Public Library in her honour. A maquette of the sculpture, which depicts a young Mary on roller skates holding a copy of Charlotte’s Web, will be on display. Also exhibiting works on the walls and in the gardens of Russel’s sprawling Japanese-style

home will be four Caledon-based artists – Diana Hillman, who paints landscapes inspired by views from her car window; Pam Purves, whose soft-focus photographs turn scenes into studies of colour and shape; Ian Sinclair, who creates rustic indoor and outdoor furniture from wood salvaged from the forest; and Susan Powell, whose watercolours feature tropical foliage and flowers. For Russel, who was one of the pioneers of the studio tour concept 20 years ago, the show is a new attempt at bringing together different art scenes in southern Ontario. The “Silver Creek Arts” show will take place at 587188 10th Sideroad in Mulmur. For more information, call (519) 925-2434. One of Ian Sinclair’s rustic benches in Hugh Russel’s garden.

Braves eliminate Lisle and advance to semi-finals by Fred Mills Last Saturday Creemore headed over to Lisle where Todd Gowan took to the hill. Gowan threw a two-hit shutout with seven strikeouts. The Braves offence came alive with an 11-hit, 10run performance, with Chris Greer and Bryan Post contributing three hits each. Creemore out-powered Lisle 10-0 to put them up 2-0 in their first-round playoff series. The Braves returned to Creemore on a wet and soggy Sunday. After a delay, and with a great crowd on hand, the

game was an encore of pitching matchup from Game 1, with Brad Grieveson of the Braves and Mark Horan of Lisle meeting again. This time the battle went Lisle’s way. While Grieveson allowed only four hits and sent five batters to the bench on strikeouts, Horan allowed the Braves only one hit, to Tom Gateman. With the help of a pair of back-to-back homers, Lisle edged out Creemore 3-0. With that win, Lisle trailed 2-1 in the series. Creemore headed back to Lisle on Tuesday, and another great crowd

Clearview Township Notices Compliance Audit Committee

awaited for both teams. Matt Baldry took the ball. Matt threw a strong six innings and only allowed only four hits. Brad Grieveson threw one inning in relief. The Braves had eight hits, with Tom Gateman having a pair and singles coming off the bats of Curt Barrett, Bryan Post, Jason Ellis, Garnet Walker, Steve Westbrooke and Jeff Akitt. With their only run coming in the first inning, Creemore edged out Lisle 1-0, giving them a 3-1 series win. Creemore will meet either Bolton or Barrie/Aurora in the second round. On a sad note, Brian Moore, the 27year-old outfielder for the Ivy Leafs, was in a tragic traffic accident that claimed his life on Monday morning. Service details will be posted on the

Tom Gateman NDBL website (www.ndbl.ca) when known. The Ivy-New Lowell playoff series has been postponed until further notice.

Vacation Bible School.

by Jean Brownfield This past week saw the second annual “100 Mile Challenge” with both the kick-off and wrap-up at the Creemore Farmers’ Market. While their focus was on eating locally produced foods, we took that one step further and celebrated the best of local preserves and pickles. Every Creemore family has its one or two signature recipes that have been around forever, so we set out to find the best in each category. Personal concerns about not having enough entries faded into thin air when Gertie Gowan arrived at market with a basketful of entries! So began the fun. Bernardin Canning Ltd. sent their representative, Emerie Brine, to offer demonstrations for salsa and peach jam, recipes, sampling, giveaways, and guidance for our competition. After a total of 28 entries were registered the judges began their work. Each one was judged on the basis of taste, appearance, smell, texture, colour and flavour identification, with each trait being giving a value of 1-5 by each judge. Sounds simple enough, but consider some of the entries… pickled eggplant, assorted jams and chutneys, marmalades, crabapples, pineapple, beets, horseradish, and more. The job quickly became a challenge, but at the end of it all two winners were clearly ahead of the pack: Rene Cornelissen for his citrus marmalade

and Gertie Gowan for her pickled corn cobs. They will receive Bernardin’s “Home Canning Kit” with the canning pot, jars, mixes, pectins, utensils and a DVD, valued at $50. Second place went to Kathy Belcourt for her grape jelly, and tied for second place in the pickle category were Celeste Berges of Lisle for her pickled eggplant and Lorraine Kersten of Stayner for her pickled beets. They will each receive a Bernardin Home Canning Tool Kit. Participants can collect their entries this coming week at the market booth. Congratulations to all of the participants and our sincere thank you to Bernardin for helping this event become a reality and providing the prizes. The market has been a bustling concern this year with more vendors and new faces than ever before, so take a Saturday morning stroll down to the Station on the Green and see what produce is available close to home, speak with the people who grew it, meet friends and neighbours, and just enjoy the rest of the summer. Watch for our Birthday Party, complete with our Children’s Market, on Saturday, September 4. If you have youngsters aged 6 to 16, stop by the market booth for an application. Then come by on the September 4 to check out what our local kids can do, enjoy the fun and cake, and meet Winnie the Pooh. See you at the market, rain or shine!

Thank you to Bob Kacarevich who met me coming out of Foodland last Saturday and helped unload my cart of bananas, tangerines, watermelon, lemonade and bags of ice for the 80 cadets from Charlie Co. of Blackdown Training Centre, Base Borden. The cadets spent the afternoon doing yard work as part of their Community Service Program at the home of Sylvia & Warren Gale. A big hug to Sylvia and Warren for your hospitality and patience (having grown up in apartments or condos in Toronto, many of the young people had never so much as cut grass let alone even stepped foot in a yard as large as yours). Thanks especially for allowing that many kids to use your washroom when I should have ensured there would be a portable toilet on site. I hope your arms recovered after cutting up and handing out all that watermelon. Meeting you and learning of your son who stars on Mantracker really made their day as did the ice cream treat they got to enjoy on the bus trip back to Base. Thank you to my husband Brian for teaching the kids the purpose and safe handling of the various tools and for helping them understand their efforts to make the Gale’s yard safer and more attractive was greatly appreciated. Thanks also for being the official photographer for this event. - Diane McKay

Thank you Our sincere thanks to Diane and Brian McKay for the time, effort and energy they spent arranging for the Cadets to come to our place to work, and for keeping an eye out and sharing their expertise while they were here. As we had no idea about the procedure, an extra thanks for doing all the things that made it a painless and enjoyable experience for us. You guys have a great “touch” with these young folks. Thanks again. - Warren and Sylvia Gale

In Memoriam Lorraine Ferguson August 15, 2001 I still find it hard to this very day. I have been left all alone What more can I say? You were mine and mine alone. What a great way to leave, I know it was said. You went in your sleep, you went on ahead. We miss you in your laughter, And your chattering ways. Of which our hearts remind us everyday. We have not forgot you, as we sit alone, In the house we built together, Which once was our home. Winston Ferguson and families.
