Clearview shortlisted for organics processing plant

by Trina Berlo Clearview Township has made the shortlist of places to locate an organics processing facility.

A county-owned property at 1637 Fairgrounds Road North (landfill site 42) is one of seven sites identified by the County of Simcoe as a possible location for its solid waste management infrastructure projects.

The plan is to build local processing facilities for the county’s garbage, recycling and compost. The organics facility would process green bin waste and the materials management facility would process the rest.

The Clearview site is being considered only for an organics processing facility.

Earlier this month, county council, as committee of the whole, agreed to proceed with additional consideration to locating both the organics facility and the materials management facility on the same site, which would but Clearview out of the running.

The issue will go before county council on Tuesday.

“Committee did agree to the recommendation, not that we co-locate but that we look at the possibility of co-locating as part of the process of going from the shortlist down to the preferred site,” said County of Simcoe director of solid waste management Rob McCullough.

He said council will consider which is the best site for the organics, the best site for the materials management facility and which would be the preferred site if it were to accommodate both.

Fundraising for cardiac care in memory of Paul Millsap

The Creemore Curling Club is holding a fundraiser for the creation of an advanced cardiac program at Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie, in memory of Paul Millsap.

RVH does not currently have catheterization labs to deliver angiography and angioplasty.

The Sept. 18 event is hosted by Marie Stephenson at the Sugar Shack in Glaincairn, located at 829051 Mulmur Nottawasaga Townline, beginning at 6 p.m. BYOB and lawn chair.

Tickets cost $25 and are available at The Creemore Echo.

Those unable to attend the event are welcome to make a donation by cheque payable to RVH Foundation cardiac care.

Creemore artist shows array of this year's work

by Trina Berlo An array of art by Ruth Ann Pearce is on display in the gallery at Curiosity House Books this month.

Pearce is showing a range of works in three sets, each with a different style. From her artistic roots in high realism pencil drawings to stylized ink drawings and fully digital creations, the 46 pieces in Array are the product of the past year’s work for the Creemore based artist.

Pearce said realism was the focus of her studies at university.

“It wasn’t until after university that I started experimenting with inks and graphics,” said Pearce. She said she is also influenced by her husband, graphic designer Michael L’Ecuyer, and has been branching out into illustration and graphic design.

Together, the couple established a business in Creemore five years ago named coloveration.

As Pearce and L’Ecuyer were expecting their first child, Pearce worked away at creating an alphabet with digital bird illustrations for their son’s room. The birds, one for each letter of the alphabet, are included in the show as Bird Type, but without the letters. The images proved to be very popular with several of the pieces selling in the first hour of the show.

Pearce said she began drawing with ink, as shown in the Petite Fruit and Petite Vegetable series, as a way of relaxing.

“My [realism] work is so highly detailed that it’s painstaking,” she said. “I have to build covers for every piece that I do because if dust lands on it, it could mess up my entire piece.

You have to work in a very sterile environment for my high realism stuff and I wanted to counteract that part of

my brain and relax a little bit and be able to make mistakes and have fun with ink dropping all over the place and getting dirty.”

The realistic drawings of wildlife in the Forest Shadow series are created

in layers using coloured pencils. Done completely by hand, each piece takes 60-70 hours, building layers of colour in sections from lightest to darkest.

The show continues until August 30.

Opinion EDITORIAL

Life is short. Get hacked.

Wannabe cheaters found themselves exposed this week as the Canadian website Ashley Madison was hacked.

The website is aimed at people in relationships who are looking for something on the side. Their slogan is ‘Life is short. Have an Affair.’

The names, photos and credit card information belonging to millions of Ashley Madison users was posted online this week by hackers who claim to be angry about the operation of the site and its integrity including the lack of dates that result from the site because they claim most of the female profiles are fake and that the majority of the site’s users are men.

The hackers’ threats to release the information go back to July when they demanded Ashley Madison either take down the site or the information would be released to the public.

The hackers made good on those threats.

At the time there were reports that users were scrambling to delete their profiles.

There are claims that the site has about 37 million users worldwide.

Other sites have been set up to allow people to search for their partners to see if they have profiles.

Normally, when there is a hack people worry about their personal data being leaked – and that does apply here. There’s probably a rush on banks’ credit card cancellation lines – in this case there is cause to worry that their sexual preferences will be leaked and worse, will their spouse find out?

It does appear the site’s owners and its users are getting little sympathy from the online public but there is a possibility that Ashley Madison is doing some good while doing a whole lot of bad.

The hackers have precipitated an interesting conversation, publicly yes, but we suspect there are some interesting conversations going on between couples, too.

Some of those dialogues will be prompted by the terror that their spouse will find out they registered for the site before they have a chance to confess, thinking it will be easier to forgive coming from them.

We’re betting though there’s another question being asked this week: Would you ever use a website like that? While the majority of people would look their spouse in the eye and say no, there are millions of people who have acted differently.

The site is amoral and is profiting off the relationship dissatisfaction of others – and adding to the relationship dysfunction and inevitable implosion in some cases.

The hack was illegal and is under investigation.

Ashley Madison has called it an act of cyberterrorism, which seems accurate.

But adultery is nothing new and it is widely believed that the risk of getting caught is part of the allure. At one time people would find out and spread the word all over town the old fashioned way. This doesn’t seem that different, except for the extra step of canceling that credit card.

Mosquito-borne viruses can easily be prevented

by Dr. Charles Gardner Summer is an ideal time to develop healthy physical activity habits through hiking, cycling or simply heading to a park with the children. It is also important, though, to take necessary precautions against related hazards such as excessive sun and heat exposure, and to vector-borne diseases.

As in the past, a rise in summer temperatures has resulted in the emergence of West Nile virus (WNv) positive mosquito pools across southern Ontario.

Simcoe Muskoka has recently seen its first positive mosquito pool in the Alliston area. At this point in the summer, it is not unexpected to see more mosquitoes testing positive for the virus.

Positive WNv activity reminds us about the importance of taking action to protect ourselves and our families against being bitten by mosquitoes.

Most people infected with WNv will either have no symptoms or only suffer from mild flu-like symptoms including fever, headache and fatigue. Less often, in severe cases, WNv can affect the central nervous system and cause illness, including encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and, rarely, death. The risk of more severe symptoms increases for those who are over 50, or have underlying conditions that have weakened their immune systems.

To reduce your exposure to mosquitoes and being bitten, simple steps can be taken.

• Avoid being outdoors at dusk or dawn when mosquitoes are most active.

• If outdoors during times of peak activity, consider

wearing light-coloured, long-sleeved shirts and pants.

• Use an insect repellent containing DEET. Prior to using an insect repellent, make sure it is registered in Canada, read the label and follow directions carefully.

If using a spray repellent, be sure to use the product in a well-ventilated area. Apply only to exposed skin and/or clothing—never underneath clothing.

• Install, replace or repair window screens.

• Eliminate potential mosquito breeding sites on your property where water can pool and become stagnant. Remove water from wheelbarrows, empty flower pots and pool covers.

WNv has been established in our area since 2002 and viral activity can be unpredictable every year.

Because of this, the health unit continues to routinely monitor local mosquitoes to gather information on the type and number of mosquitoes present in our area as well as whether or not those mosquitoes are infected with WNv. Although there are approximately 50 types of mosquitoes found in Ontario, only a few are known to spread WNv to humans.

To learn more about physical activity, or WNv and how to protect yourself from mosquito-borne diseases, call Your Health Connection at 705-721-7520 or 1-877-721-7520 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday or visit www.simcoemuskokahealth.org. You can also follow the latest from the health unit on Twitter and Facebook.

Dr. Gardner is Simcoe Muskoka’s Medical Officer of Health.

"I believe I have danced my way around the world on that marvelous dance floor"

“It was a lot of work.”

That was the answer I received when I asked Howard Milne, of the Duntroon area, what he remembered about the building of Nottawasaga Community Hall, also known as the Duntroon Hall.

The hard work, the energy, the time and the generosity that has gone into our local halls is something to think about. The buildings themselves and the activities in these halls are a monument to the people who care, and who have cared, about where we live.

The story of the Duntroon Hall’s origins is here told to you with information collected from conversations with Howard Milne, Walter Rigney and the account of it in Let’s Celebrate Nottawasaga’s Sesquicentennial and Ontario’s Bicentennial, published in 1984. If you are lucky enough to have a copy look on pages 220 to 223.

The need for the community centre in Duntroon came to a head in 1954. The organizing committee consisted of Mrs. Ernie Douthwaite, Raymond Sampson, Roland Brown, John O. (Jack) Swalm, Ed Rigney and Fred Rentner.

The property for the building was a combination of a 14-foot strip of Islay park donated by the Women’s Institute and a 34-foot strip of land donated by Jack Swalm.

At this time a number of military buildings were for sale at Camp Borden (now known as Base Borden). One was purchased (possibly by just paying a minimum fee), carefully taken down, loaded on trucks and tractor-drawn wagons and transported to Duntroon.

An unfortunate accident occurred when Raymond Sampson was involved in a head-on collision in the fog on his way to help at Borden. He had to be hospitalized.

A concrete basement was built.

These volunteers were farmers, business people, and local wage earners who gave overtime after looking after their own work.

On June 30, 1955, the official opening ceremonies were held with important speakers, entertainment by local talent and a dance in the evening.

The hall was soon a hive of activity.

In summer there were ball tournaments.

Bowling alleys were built and people bowled almost every night of the week.

For a while there were two pool tables in the basement but they were removed after some objections were raised. (Pool used to be seen as a sinful activity, something I never could understand.)

And most famously there were weekly Gananoque town hall was once the home of John McDonald, a wealthy dances that continued for years and industrialist who was granted a large number of lots in Nottawasaga years.

Public information sessions planned for the fall

(Continued from page 1) Five of the shortlisted sites, located in Springwater Township and OroMedonte, could accommodate both facilities.

Garbage, organics, and recycling are currently transferred from a private facility in Barrie. About 10,000 tonnes of green bin material each year goes to a processing facility in Hamilton.

The locations were chosen by a consultant out of 505 possible sites – 302 county landfill site properties and forest tracts and 203 potential willing vendor sites (196 from the MLS search and seven responses to a request for

expressions of interest).

The Solid Waste Management Strategy, approved by County Council in 2010 recommended the development of such the facilities as an alternative to developing landfills.

The intent is to process organic waste closer to home to reduce costs in the long term, cut down on haulage, create local jobs, benefit from compost and fertilizer and incorporate more types of waste, such as diapers and pet waste.

The county will be facilitating a community engagement process to give members of the public a chance to comment and learn more. Those

meetings are being planned for the fall and details will be publicized when they become available.

Early next year, a final preferred site will be presented to county council for approval. ​County officials estimate the capital

cost of the materials management facility to be $4.7 million with $1.15 million of funding coming from a grant.

The cost of the organics processing plant could range from $10 to $35 million, depending on which processing technology is used.

• The Creemore Echo • Friday, August 21, 2015

Submit slogans by September 11 (Continued from page 1) Elise Beauregard, said the community should be involved in creating a slogan because they hear from their friends and family who are visiting what makes Creemore worth a return visit, aside from their loved ones, or a recommended destination.

Beauregard said they are looking for slogans that sum up the Creemore experience as a whole but they don’t have to be polished, people are welcome to submit concepts, even bullet points, that can be wordsmithed afterwards.

The deadline for submissions is Sept. 11 and then the community will be invited to vote for their favourite.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three, and depending on the submissions, the winner and possibly the second place winner will go on the billboards.

Beauregard said if they get lots of good submissions there is a chance they could rent more billboard space to post a third.

People of all ages are encouraged to participate.

Submit ideas by e-mail to marketing@ experiencecreemore.com or write your slogan on the blank billboard (above right) and drop it off at The
