NEW YEAR BEGINS AT NCPS
YOUNG “CENT”URIONS READY TO RIDE The 3rd Annual Creemore Kids Cent Ride is coming to Creemore on
Sunday, September 14 and these youngsters – Griffin MacIntyre, Miles Dempsey, Dresdon Dupuis, Hazel Dempsey, Jonathan Van Severen, Anson Dupuis, Chancellor Stamp and Mirabella Dupuis – can’t wait to be part of the excitement. Coinciding with the Centurion 100-mile cycling race that starts at Blue Mountain and passes through Creemore on the same day, the Cent Ride is a Creemore event for children from 5 to 12 years of age and a fun way to encourage cycling as an active recreational activity in our community and to promote safe cycling habits. The Creemore BIA, in partnership with the OPP, Simcoe County, Share the Road and the Clearview Fire Department, will be on hand at 9:30 am to host a safety rodeo, helmet inspection and free bike safety checks. The feature event, the Kids Cent Ride, starts at 10:45 am. It’s a 1/100th kids’ version of the longer event, running along a one-mile course set throughout the village. A water station, free T-shirts for the first 50 to sign up and prizes will be provided. See this week’s Community Calendar and the ad on page 8 for more details.
by Brad Holden Nottawasaga & Creemore Public School’s 2014/2015 school year got underway Tuesday, with exactly 200 students enrolled – a number that’s expected to remain constant for the next decade or so, according to NCPS principal Heather Birchall. While the day went smoothly, it was not without its unexpected circumstances, chief among them the fact that the Full Day Kindergarten addition, expected to be ready for opening day, was still abuzz with construction workers. “Unfortunately, we’re about a week behind schedule,” said Birchall, explaining that the delay was caused by a late shipment of windows. As a result, Senior Kindergarten students got an unexpected (See “NCPS” on page 3)
Burton launches bid for Deputy Mayor by Brad Holden With one week to go before the September 12 deadline for nominations, the outlook for Clearview Township’s 2014 municipal election changed in two significant ways this week – Creemore resident Barry Burton, well-known for his opposition to Simcoe County’s plans to replace the Collingwood Street bridge, filed to run for the Deputy Mayor’s seat last Friday. And on Thursday, incumbent Councillor Shawn Davidson ended speculation that he would run for higher office by filing for reelection as
a Councillor in the new Ward 4. As of this issue’s press time, Burton was the only name put forward for the Deputy Mayor position. Incumbent Alicia Savage, who had previously signalled her intention to run for reelection, switched gears and filed to run for Mayor against Chris Vanderkruys last week after Ken Ferguson announced he would not seek a third term. Burton told the Echo this week that he had made the decision to run prior to Savage’s decision, and that his most pressing motivation had come out of his
experience on the bridge file. “It became very clear to me that the existing Council had very little regard for the will and voice of the people,” said the self-employed lighting technician, promising to revisit the bridge issue but also to focus on encouraging both industrial and residential growth. The deadline to file a nomination is 2 pm on Friday, September 12. Current information on who is running can be found at http://www.clearview.ca/ home/election/registered-candidates.
The NCPS playground hosted a familiar mixture of excitement and apprehension Tuesday.

NCPS school year starts with addition delayed (Continued from page 1) opportunity to check out the junior annex site on Caroline Street, which was officially closed and declared surplus to the board last spring. Junior Kindergarten students joined them for their first day on Thursday. It’s anticipated the two full-day JK/ SK classes will move to their new accomodations at the main school within a week or so. There they will find two identical, bright and spacious classrooms with shared washroom facilities and a cloakroom. Funding for that addition came from the Province’s Full Day Kindergarten initiative. There are plans for three more phases of improvements of NCPS, including an expanded gym and library, but funding for those would have to come from the Simcoe County District School Board’s capital allocation, for which the Board of Trustees prioritizes projects every year. At present, nothing has been allocated for NCPS. That said, Birchall is happy to have the new Kindergarten space, and is looking forward to having all of the school’s staff and students under one roof. “There are real advantages to that,” she said, mentioning mentor/mentee relationships between primary and intermediate students and access to the gym and library for all as examples. Beyond the new infrastructure, Birchall said the school will continue its focus on numeracy this year, and especially its efforts to bring parents up

Opinion LETTER
Upset over accessibility at Medical Centre Dear Editor I am an amputee and had to attend our newly rebuilt Medical Centre. It was a pain in the… leg. Easier accessibility? The Committee must be dreaming. I hereby challenge our member of Council to demonstrate easier access. At an agreed time, we will have a wheelchair on the sidewalk on Elizabeth Street and Thom Paterson can occupy same and propel himself up to the Centre’s entrance, enter, take the elevator down one floor and up again, and try entering a doctor’s examination room. All that’s left is returning to Elizabeth Street. We’ll overlook that handicapped, frail and elderly people, as well as ice, snow and wet leaves, will not be present to make things difficult. Well Thom, are you all talk or will you take on the challenge? Prove your mettle. Perhaps our Medical Centre is not the worst rebuilt of its kind in Simcoe County, but it might well be from the accessibility point of view. John Blohm, Creemore

THE WAY WE WERE
This picture of the Hisey mill and assorted outbuildings, taken in the early years of the 20th Century, was given to Helen Blackburn by Kaye Jackson, the granddaughter of Jake Hisey. This photograph looks west from Mill Street, with the grain elevator on the right and the apple/ potato storage at centre. The “Hog Special” train tracks ran east-west on the other side of the grain elevator. For more on this essential piece of Creemore’s history, see Helen’s column on the facing page.
LETTER
Telephone and online voting could be a problem To The Editor: Most voters are probably unaware that in its infinite wisdom, Clearview Council decided to do away with a paper-based voting system and impose, without much debate, an electronic voting system which requires all voters to use a computer or a touchtone phone (“follow the prompts”) to register their votes for Mayor, Deputy Mayor and a Councillor of choice in their riding. This means that unless you have access to a touchtone phone or a computer, are computer literate or have endless patience, you will have a real problem voting in the next municipal election. According to the Council bylaw, no one is allowed to help you with the many steps involved in voting or do anything that might give them access to your secret PIN. So if you are not comfortable with using a bank machine, just imagine how difficult it is going to be to register your vote. People who are leading shut-in lives in retirement homes or nursing homes are going to have an even tougher time voting and their needs were not even considered by our so very smart Council! Now to be fair, the Township has some instructions on its website on how to vote electronically, but unless you have a computer you will
not be able to access those instructions to learn what you should do to vote. As if all of this is not bad enough, there is going to be no paper record of how people voted, there is no requirement for the computer code or results to be placed in the hands of a trusted third party (such as Elections Canada) and it will be almost impossible to check after-the-fact to ensure there was no fraud involved. The system is not, according to my best information, approved by Elections Canada or by the Federal or Provincial governments and you would think that at the very least the Province of Ontario should have tested and approved the system. I checked the experience of some other municipalities which used this system, owned by a small company in Nova Scotia and funded in part by the Nova Scotia government, and many encountered problems of various kinds during their last elections. Surprisingly, it appears that the municipality in which the company being used by Clearview is located has selected a Spanish company to run their voting system in the next election! We have all read or heard of the security problems
created by hackers. Well, a number of computer experts have expressed very serious concerns about the security of electronic voting software and unanswered questions have been put to the Township Clerk, Ms. Fettes, to determine why they chose Intelivote Systems Inc., and just how safe the system is in making sure nothing goes wrong with the election. When our Council was made aware of possible deficiencies and concerns, the Deputy Mayor is on record as responding to one detailed enquiry to Council with the words “…stop wasting our time.” One final note: Jim Wilson MPP, when alerted to possible problems with the security and reliability of the electronic voting system, passed those concerns to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing for review. He did not respond with “… stop wasting my time.” It will be interesting to see how some very legitimate issues regarding the voting system are handled with less than two months to the election and I hope that those who feel disenfranchised by not being computer literate or by not having access to a computer will protest very loudly to our Council and to Elections Ontario.

“The farmers rushed into hog raising and thirty carloads, many of them double-decked, was the average weekly shipment. There were so many carloads of hogs passing over the local railroad that the train was referred to as the ‘Hog Special.’ The name still sticks, but many of the younger generation never knew how it originated. “The farm had been in the grain business in the late nineties as well as the live stock trade. In 1900 they built a modern elevator and became large buyers and shippers of grain. A modern office building was built in 1901. There were no banks in Creemore at that time, and in this office was built a substantial vault, as enormous amounts of money were necessarily carried. The firm also had grain buyers at ten other shipping points, and all the business was handled through the head office in Creemore. “New lines were added; an apple cold storage building with a potato house below was built about 1905. That year twenty thousand barrels of apples were handled through this building; nearly all were sold for export. The firm also handled coal, cement and other bulky commodities. “The Hisey business was possibly at its peak from 1905 to 1910. There was a huge turnover annually, and so many farmers delivered their produce to Hiseys’ that stable accommodation at the hotels was at a premium. “Both members of the firm had

married and built fine homes. They were both big men in every sense, and worked not only for themselves but for the good and welfare of Creemore. They were promoters in helping the village get a water system, which was put in in 1905, and a few years later hydro light and power. “Gradually big changes occurred. The Collingwood packing plant closed and this ended their extensive franchise. Other shippers started up and gradually the business was all confined to Creemore. Mr. Sam Hisey moved to Toronto about 1920, leaving his brother, Jake, in full control. Unfortunately the latter went into ill health and in 1924 he passed on. The business was sold later that year to H.P. Shepherd and Son, the present proprietors [Bill Gordon would later own the business]. “This story would not be complete without paying a well-deserved tribute to the Hisey brothers. It has often been said that the Hiseys made Creemore, and this statement is not much wide of the mark. They had the confidence of farmers, and as every farmer delivered his produce with team and wagon, there was a large number of farmers to be seen in Creemore every day. This meant business for the stores. The banks and everybody prospered. Sam and Jake, as they were so well known, have passed from the business and social life of the village. They have been greatly missed.”

J. Ross Robinson 1951 – 2014 Ross was a Renaissance man whose everyday life encompassed the worlds of culture through ballet, literature and music. He loved people and expressed that love in his distinctive style of entertaining with courtesy, wit and elan. Following a brief illness, Ross died in Toronto on August 31, 2014, leaving his beloved wife Robin Vaile; sisters Margot MacLeod (Angus); Nancy Walshe (Anthony); and Robin’s son Philip Dyment and his children Gabrielle and Jack; and many treasured, loyal friends. Ross was a master communicator who was engaged passionately in the world around him, which led to his stellar professional life in teaching, along with his various consultancy positions with federal government ministries and in Canada’s museum establishment. His charitable work was highlighted by his key role in founding of the Little Angels Blood Cancer Fund at the Ottawa Hospital. Ross adored his rural life in Creemore with Robin where he proudly cared for the land and raised his animals; a small herd of Highland cattle, an amusing donkey named Bob, and two spirited Airedale dogs, and he was an active participant in environmental issues affecting the area. As fervently as he cherished country life, Ross loved his Toronto city life and world travels with Robin, especially to Mexico and India. His years of successfully coping with leukemia to reach a cancer-free life endowed Ross with a profound sense of the precarious nature of life and the resolve to cherish every day he lived. Significantly, Ross left a refined footprint of his wit and camaraderie that will be treasured by all who knew him.

our attention elsewhere. As always, your voice needs to be heard in matters municipal and what better time to speak up than when entering into an election period Thom when public interest is PATERSON at its highest and the municipality should be at its most attentive. Please join me on Saturday, September 13 from 1 to 3 pm to review and reflect on the work of Council year-to-date 2014 and to voice your concerns and expectations for the new Council you’re about to elect. While Clearview has been stalled in a period of no growth, a period which saw our population actually decline, the Township is poised to realize WARD 4 MaTTERS
It’s time again to convene a Ward 4 (soon to be redesigned Ward 5) Town Hall. The year is coming to a close, the current Council term is almost over, a new budget is in preparation and a new Council is at your choosing. The business of the Township carries on despite any distractions that may take
residential growth and potentially commercial/ industrial growth. Development planning and financial management matters will become even more prominent in the work of your Council. The decisions that will be taken over the next four years need to consider and reflect the public consensus. While the potential of economic growth will inevitably bring with it pressures to change our communities, both positive and negative, this Township also needs to sustain the core values that define Clearview. Our agricultural foundations with emphasis on agri-businesses, an affordable lifestyle for our seniors and young families, the use and encouragement of our vibrant and talented volunteer pool and the support of our youth are just some of areas that will require Council focus. If you have specific topics you wish discussed at the Town Hall, please feel free to email them to me at thompaterson@rogers.com or call 705-466-6321.
