IT’S COPPER KETTLE TIME There are several big weekends on the Creemore calendar, and this is surely one of them. Saturday ushers in the 11th edition of the Creemore Springs Copper Kettle Festival, complete with children’s activities, a beer tent, a variety of food choices and live music (this year will see George Cash, the Rizdales, Adam Webster, Mookie & the Loyalists and Jason Redmond take the stage). That all begins at Mad River Park at noon, shortly after the Beinn Gorm Highlanders pipe us all down Mill Street in official fashion. But that’s not all this weekend provides. Saturday also sees the always growing Copper Kettle Classics Car Show, run by Corey Finkelstein, Alex Hargrave and a host of dedicated volunteers. It’s truly a sight to see when every parking spot on Mill Street, from Frances Street to Edward Street, is claimed by a beautiful, shiny vintage automobile. This year, we have a new addition to the Mill Street festivities as well, with 10996_Cree_CopKtle_4.9375x7.75Ad_v1ol.indd 1
Cheryl Robertson of Creemore House of Stitches staging a massive exhibition celebrating the “Craftswomen of Creemore.” The show will be full of locally made quilts and hand arts, and demonstrations will take place throughout the day. On Sunday, Creemore Springs and the 100 Mile Store have teamed up to add a whole new day to the festival: an event, called the “Made in Creemore Locavore Lunch,” that will focus on all the great food we grow locally. For $150 dollars a plate, guests can gather in pastoral Mad River Park and dine on fare from three local restaurants (Chez Michel, the Old Mill House and the Sovereign) as well as several superstar chefs from outside the area (including Michael Statlander and the head chefs of Canoe, the Drake Hotel and Hiro Sushi among others). For a detailed schedule of Copper Kettle events on Saturday, see page 8. And enjoy the festivities! 11-08-16 10:50 AM
Clearview rec guide released T h e To w n s h i p o f Clearview is releasing its 2011 Fall-Winter Community Culture and Recreation Guide this week. With an additional eight pages of content showcasing over 125 organizations and over 40 special events, Clearview residents will be able to find a wealth of information related to recreational programming, community contacts, special events and municipal facilities in the 2011 Fall-Winter Guide. Six thousand copies of the Guide will be distributed to every household in Clearview. Residents are encouraged to look for copies in their mailboxes or inside the Creemore Echo. Copies will also be available at local community

The Clearview guides are published by the Creemore Echo. “We are extremely pleased with the relationship developed with our publisher,” states Jacqueline Soczka, Clearview’s Community, Culture and Recreation Programmer. “The quality of this year’s two editions has been exceptional and we look forward to working with the Creemore Echo on the 2012 Spring-Summer edition.” Individuals or organizations looking to appear in the Spring-Summer edition, please contact Jacqueline Soczka by December 16, 2011. Distribution is scheduled for the week of February 6.
Volunteer Chinkers Needed by Brad Holden With the Creemore Log Cabin well on its way to becoming a new attraction (as well as a reminder to residents of our own heritage), the Log Cabin Service Board is now looking for volunteers who might like to help with the chinking of the building. Chinking is the process of applying mortar and binding material to the gaps between the logs. Some of this work, particularly the high parts, are to be done by the
contractors. But in order to save costs and to give people a sense that the cabin is theirs, the plan is to run a training clinic for volunteers shortly after Labour Day weekend and have some volunteer members of the community assist in the process. Board members Chris and Pat Raible will be at the Farmers’ Market coffee booth this weekend if people have any questions. Potential volunteers can also call the Raibles at 705-466-2261.

Above are two screenshots from “Windfall.” The movie is a beautiful testament to a town struggling with something bigger than itself.
“Windfall” movie at the Gayety Theatre by Brad Holden Amidst all the noise and uproar about industrial wind turbines, three women from the Creemore area have found perhaps the most effective argument for some measured thought on the subject. “Windfall” is a beautifully shot documentary by American filmmaker Laura Isreal, which focuses on a small, agricultural Catskills town called Meredith, New York. Through interlaced interviews and stunning cinematography, the film illustrates the divides that shook the town as the proagriculture Town Board grappled with the arrival of wind developers. While
the scenario is not exactly the same as we’re faced with here – for instance, in the movie it’s up to the Town Board and its volunteer planning committee to deal with the application as the federal and state governments have no policies to deal with the situation – it is somewhat reminiscent, with the town’s mix of oldtimers and newcomers and the varied relationships between the two camps. The movie was discovered locally by Betty Schneider, who made a deal to purchase one DVD of the movie from Isreal before the movie’s theatrical release just so Schneider could use it to advance the cause here.
Schneider, Jan Minduik and Rosemary Mesley have been diligently showing it to as many people as possible, and on Thursday, September 8 there will be two showings at the Gayety Theatre in Collingwood, at 4 and 8 pm.
Schneider is hoping people come out no matter what side of the issue they’re on, and having seen the movie, the Echo agrees that it’s relevant viewing for all. Tickets for the showing at the Gayety are $5 each, with proceeds going to the rental of the theatre.

THE WAY WE WERE
The Copper Kettle Festival, happening this Saturday (and, for the first time, you could say, on Sunday as well), is now an 11-year-old tradition in these parts, bringing with it several sentimental feelings, as all traditions should do. First of all, the festival always signals the approaching end of summer, so it’s a touch bittersweet (although the sun always seems to shine that day). Second, it seems that we all get busy in the summer, travelling this way and visiting that way. A lot of us don’t see our friends as much as we’d like during the holiday months, and the Copper Kettle provides Creemorites with a perfect way to reconnect, to tell tales of your summer wanderings and catch up on those of others. Of course, many come from far away to visit the festival, and let’s hope it continues to be a tradition for them as well. It’s certainly a good showcase for Creemore and its community ways.
This is the second in a series of 1928 main street paving shots that Reg Rawn has provided to us. This one shows the old Creemore Creamery in the background, which today has become Paul Vorsterman’s Mad River Pottery.
LETTERS
In this reader’s opinion, a reality check is needed Dear Editor: If Stephen Leacock was alive today and read the Echo he would no doubt find considerable fodder for another of his humourous and oft satirical observations on the nature of human behaviour. The debates raging within the community over wind turbines, quarries, brewery expansion, new subdivisions, etc. are beginning to make such events as the worldwide financial crisis, Afghan war, and famine in east Africa pale in comparison. As the NIMBYs and YIMBYs (substitute “yes” for “not”) conduct their ongoing war of words, has anyone else come to the conclusion that what most people consider right and fair is what benefits themselves. That benefit also usually contains a $ sign. We wrap ourselves in a cloak of “green, eco, organic, natural, etc” for the presumed benefit of humankind but in reality what we consider “good” is still what is of greatest benefit to us. This allows us to sell a half dozen “organic” carrots for $5 with a clear conscience because, even though unsupported by scientific data, they are obviously “healthier.” We conveniently ignore the fact that organic farming could only support 20 per cent of the world’s population and purchasing solely “organic” foodstuffs would considerably increase the debt load of the average Canadian family. We also ignore the fact that a truly “locavore” diet would have us eating oatmeal and root vegetables for half the year and suffering from scurvy by February. Had I only a small fraction of the literary talent of the aforementioned gentleman I might be able to inject a little more wit into my humble observations but please bear with me. Let’s start with wind turbines. If you are a farmer with a windy potato field, that has no potential of being sold to a wealthy city dweller for a country home, then the propect of some extra “farm” income for allowing a few windmills seems like a fair and reasonable proposition.

The sign says “If you ate today, thank a farmer” so what better thanks than to allow them to make a few extra bucks? On the other hand if you are a city dweller who has just paid a small fortune for a few acres of marginal farmland because it has a magnificent view then you no doubt feel it is unfair to have your property devalued and the view spoiled by wind turbines. You will however continue to think it is fair to consume massive amounts of electrical energy in both your country and city homes. I’ll omit discussion of the hundreds of litres of fossil fuels consumed commuting between the two because as yet there are no proposed oil fields on the horizon in our region. How about the quarry? I must confess I ordered a truckload of gravel last week. I bought locally, well within the 100 mile limit, thereby contributing to the salvation of the planet by not wasting fossil fuels. On my trips to Creemore I have noticed several new, very long and probably very expensive driveways that must have required considerable tons of aggregate. Many of our local long expensive driveways have “Stop the Quarry” signs at their entrance. There is no gravel fairy, ladies and gentlemen. Gravel, sand, and landscaping rocks come from a quarry in somebody’s backyard. Perhaps over the winter, as we sit in the cozy warmth of our comfortable spacious homes, we might ponder the number of tons of quarry output needed to construct those homes. Had enough yet? Bear with me just a little longer. Beer is good. Just ask Homer Simpson. But breweries that outgrow the cute trendy stage are seemingly bad. Granted, the middle of a small village is not the best place to build a large brewery. But when the original microbrewery was built it did much to revitalize the village, and it was naive to assume no expansion would eventually happen after it was sold to Molson Coors. It takes considerable honest introspection to put aside one’s own personal agenda and consider what is “fair”

or “good” in the greater sense of the words. Change is inevitable and necessary. Unfortunately good change comes along with bad change, like a few ounces of gold come within many tons of rock. The best we can hope for is the highest possible assay. It’s interesting to note that Stephen Leacock, although today canonized as the patron saint of Orillia, was not beloved by that community during his lifetime because of his observations on small town life (Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town). The local residents also disapproved of what they considered his lavish lifestyle on Brewery Bay (sic) and his frequent large deliveries of liquor. Had they been available at the time he probably would have earned even more disapproval by driving an Audi. Walter Sickinger, Mulmur Township
Missing building
Letter to the Editor: If you, as I do, miss the building on the northeast corner of Mill and Edward, you would have been happy to see The Way We Were picture in the August 19 Echo. Yes indeed, that is the same building. According to my mother, the building was built by my great grandfather George Webster, and was the first store and post office on the north side of the river. Previously, the store and post office had been across the river in the house directly across from the end of Mill Street. That store was run by Edward Webster, who left Creemore in 1862. On the north side, the store in the building built by George was run by George Bolster. But just to confuse you, a directory of 1857-58 lists George Bolster as a merchant. Did Edward run the store for the first years of Creemore’s existence and then give/sell the business to George Bolster in 1857? Well, I suppose it doesn’t really matter. I’m just happy to see the excellent picture of the building, contributed by Reg Rawn. Helen Blackburn, Nottawa

(where else?) Terra Nova on August 20. The owners were waiting until they get their liquor licence, and apparently they are planning a nice dining facility. Grandgirl Nevada Rowe from Calgary recently successfully completed her course at Lakeland College in Alberta on Western Ranch and Cow Horse, which equips her to do anything from running a feedlot to shoeing a horse to diagnosing many of the ailments found in ranch animals to everything up to and including running a ranch. Nevada is not very big, but is quite an adept horsewoman, and has won several trophies in both Western and English riding (and has just recovered from a broken leg from an unruly horse). Lately, she and another girl took first place in a derby where each girl, while mounted on their horse, gets one end of an 18 inch chunk of toilet paper. They then, while riding their horses through twists and turns as they are directed, must complete this feat at a fairly good clip without tearing the toilet paper! This is quite a feat as your horses are generally excited by the crowd, and toilet paper is pretty darned flimsy to hold together while being held between two horses that generally have a mind of their own. Recently we got a phone call from grandson Curtis Kidd who is in Kitimat, B.C. He is an Environmental Technician, and he is slated to go to the closing of a mine way up in the High Arctic. He does not particularly like flying, but that is the only way in or out of many of the places he finds himself. Anyway, when he phoned he said, “You know that plane that crashed at Resolute? Until yesterday, I had a

reservation on that flight. But the ship that I was supposed to meet up with in Cambridge Bay with my supplies was delayed because of ice choking a channel. I couldn’t pick up my stuff until this coming week, so I cancelled my flight with First Air – and that was the one that crashed!â€? Talk about mixed feelings – you are so sorry for the family and friends of the passengers and crew from that flight (there were 12 dead and 3 in hospital) – but at the same time you are so thankful that none of yours was on that plane. That said, this coming week he will be on a flight on that same route! We are fortunate to have son Terry home for a short while, so it’s enjoy the visit while you have him in captivity for whatever time he can spare! We were also fortunate to have a visit from Warren’s son and daughter-in-law, Bruce and Jennifer Gale, from the Arnprior area, over this past week. We would also like to send a big thank you to Al Thompson for the lovely green beans and tomatoes, fresh from his garden and another big thank you to Lloyd Whitley for delivering some more of those crispy English cucumbers, which I really enjoy. I kind of think that Ellen does most of the gardening, so thanks to both Ellen and Lloyd! Â

Ryan Lewis practices his showmanship at the final Dairy 4-H meeting.
Clearview Dairy 4-H Report by Sarah White The Clearview Dairy 4-H Club held its final meeting of 2011 at Colin and Tanya Walker’s farm south of Stayner. The topic for this meeting was showmanship, and club members and pre 4-H’ers were given the opportunity to participate in a mock show, while receiving instruction on the correct way to lead and set up their calves in the show ring. Members were also taught the importance of personal
presentation, which includes clothing (plain white pants and shirt with no logos or anything that could draw attention away from the calf; safety boots if possible, and a well-groomed appearance). The business part of the meeting was conducted afterward, and was followed by refreshments. The club’s 4-H Achievement program will be held on Friday, September 23 at the Great Northern Exhibition.
This all seasons chalet is situated on a very private setting in the hills above the charming village of Creemore.

Braves fall short
The New Lowell Knights celebrate after bettering the Braves in the NDBL semifinals.
by Fred Mills With Creemore’s backs to the wall down 2-0 in the best-of-five NDBL semifinal series, the team hosted New Lowell last Friday night. Gowan Park was full for a gorgeous evening of baseball. Brad Grieveson got the start and allowed seven hits, while striking out six. The Braves came out of the gate fast in the first inning, scoring four. They had a total of six hits, with Todd Gowan having a pair (including a threerun home run) and Steve Dowding, Bryan Post, Tom Gateman and Steve Westbrooke all reaching first safely. New Lowell did not give up during the game and tried to come back from the early hole they were in, but Creemore edged out the 8-5 win. The Braves roamed over to New Lowell on Saturday, down 2-1 in the series. The day was dark, and some in the crowd doubted the game could be
finished, but the rain held off until 10 minutes after the final inning . Brett Trott took the ball and pitched a good game, allowing eight hits while whiffing two batters. The Braves bats continued to struggle at key moments and the could only muster four hits. Trott led the way with half of them and Chris Greer and Steve Dowding notched the other two. New Lowell won the game 3-0 and the series 3-1. Congratulations to the New Lowell Knights, who will head to the NDBL finals next week, against either Bolton or Aurora. The Braves will now head to Niagara Falls on the Labour Day Weekend to defend their championship title at the OBA’s. “If they plan to win, their bats need to wake up and they need to be able to get key hits and get guys across the plate,” team veteran Dan Gowan told the Echo.
Capping a busy summer with Copper Kettle quilt show IN STITCHES
I can hardly believe our summer is almost coming to an end. First of all, it was June and I was enjoying my birthday and retirement party. The next thing I know I am Linda enjoying a week at a cottage COCKTON with my daughter Allie in Callender. It was a perfect seven days of sun and fun. I was stitching and reading and enjoying my time with Allie. I had to come home just in time to decorate a wedding cake for my friend June’s son’s wedding. I was visiting with Cheryl at Creemore House of
Stitches that week and she mentioned her plans for a show the weekend of Copper Kettle. I suggested a few ideas and a few people to contact for help. She is one gutsy lady – she has the volunteers, the white glove ladies, the tent and everything planned for this weekend. The quilts will be shown, and there will be demonstrations, so please drop by. What an undertaking for Cheryl to do in her first year of business. After talking to Cheryl, I was gone again for another adventure. I was asked to accompany my friend Annette to Thunder Bay to see her brother Leo and wife Mae. They have a small market gardening business on the side of Highway 17 at Dorion. The vegetables are picked and set out by 8 am, and it’s
run on the honour system: put your money a box and take your vegetables. That freed them up to show us around. Annette and I went mining at an open pit amethyst mine. Their son Luc caught fresh trout and pickerel and their grandson Cody cooked it with his Gramma Mae for our supper. What a feast, with new spuds, baby beets, carrots and cucumbers. Our province is amazing to see and that North Shore of Lake Superior is breathtaking at times. I came home just long enough to stitch some purses and wallets and then up to Shirley Parton’s place at Port Severn for a few days stay. It is a bit difficult to settle down but I must. I have a quilt weekend to go to and a daughter’s wedding to plan. Hope you had a great summer.
