NO CODE OF CONDUCT BREACH FOR HILCHEY
A BIG KICK START Creemore Springs Brewery announced this week that it is donating $30,000 to the Creemore Medical Centre expansion fundraising effort. Here, Creemore Springs brewmaster Gordon Fuller and Medical Centre chairperson Bill Mann shake hands following the announcement. The Medical Centre Board is hoping to raise $350,000 for the cause by the end of the year, and will host an information night for interested members of the public at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, October 16 at the Station on the Green.
by Brad Holden Township Integrity Commissioner Connie Phillipson paid a visit to Mulmur Council Tuesday morning, telling them in no uncertain terms that she does not have the jurisdiction to deal with their concerns about Councillor Lynn Hilchey. With the exception of Deputy Mayor Rhonda Campbell Moon, Council had been unsure of this position after reviewing a written report from Phillipson presented at their last meeting; following that discussion, they passed a motion to give the Integrity Commissioner clearer direction, in the form of a request for an official inquiry to look at whether Hilchey’s alleged transgressions of the Township’s zoning and property maintenance bylaws constituted a breach of Council’s Code of Conduct. But in person Tuesday morning, Phillipson explained that the Code of Conduct lists 11 specific transgressions that she has jurisdiction over: the acceptance of gifts (See “No Breach” on page 11)
Casino meeting set Plaque unveiling this Saturday by Brad Holden The long-awaited public information meeting regarding the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s plans to build a 300-slot casino somewhere in Collingwood, Clearview Township, Wasaga Beach or the Township of Springwater (an area the OLG calls Zone C7) will take place at 7 pm on Tuesday, October 16 at the Wasaga Beach RecPlex. OLG officials will be in attendance at the meeting to provide information on the proposed gaming facility opportunity and to take questions from members of the four municipality’s Councils. However, while the public is encouraged to attend, there will not be an opportunity for ratepayers to ask questions directly of the OLG. According to a joint press release issued this week from the four municipalities, those who have questions should submit them to their Councillors before the meeting. Contact details for the members of Clearview Council can be found at www.clearview.ca/home/ government/council.
Creemore’s Heritage Plaque program, the brainchild of Purple Hills Arts & Heritage Society member Aiken Scherberger and made possible through the work of that organization and a generous donation from Creemore Springs Brewery, will have its grand unveiling at 11 am on Saturday, October 6 at the brewery. This first phase of the program will see 13 plaques erected throughout Creemore, each commemorating a person or event significant to the history and development of the village. The plaques and their stories cover the entire span of Creemore’s existence, from its pre-history to the present day. “We hope the plaques will provide an ‘experience,’ a quick hit of village life,” said Scherberger. “Each of these 13 stories provides a little window onto the world that is Creemore.” All are welcome to attend the ceremony and follow it up with an informative walk around town.
Aiken Scherberger readies one of the new Heritage Plaques, this one on the Mad & Noisy Gallery building, commemorating the community spirit of the late Jim Vandewater.

Opinion EDITORIAL Way to Go Fred!
Wow, it’s a wonder what the spectacle of a man in high heels can achieve. Since appearing on the front page of last week’s paper donning a pair of red stilettos, the Echo’s Fred Mills has raised over $1,000 in pledges towards the Collingwood woman’s shelter My Friend’s House. Whether this is a result of Fred’s willingness to strut his stuff in his new shoes (he spent an hour-and-a-half tottering around the Farmers’ Market last Saturday, after all) or another indication of the generosity of this community, the end result is a nice amount of money going toward a cause that’s often overlooked due to its discreet nature, but nonetheless vitally important. The moment that everyone has been shelling out for will take place on Saturday, October 6 at 11:30 am, when Fred and dozens of other men will set out from the Collingwood Farmers’ Market for a mile-long walk around that town, decked out, of course, in their red heels. We congratulate Fred on this undertaking, and encourage anyone who has not yet pledged to visit inherheels.ca and add to his honourable tally.

THE WAY WE WERE
This week’s postcard from the collection of Andy Hart is an undated bird’s eye view of Creemore from an interesting angle – as far as we can tell, this photograph was taken from the northernmost point on Collingwood Street, near the present day location of the Creemore reservoir. The view to the southeast over Creemore shows how far out of town Collingwood Street was in those days, with most of the village close to Mill Street and spreading to the east.
Thanks to LETTER a teacher Shouldn’t local food be affordable? Letter to the Editor: There are teachers, and then there are teachers who go above and beyond. On Tuesday my daughter, Deanna Squires-Fachnie, walked from the NCPS senior site to the junior site to meet me and her two younger sisters. All the way from the senior site, she was picked on and called names by a group of boys (you know who you are). Mrs. Pike, who was standing outside, heard the commotion and came to my daughter’s defence. I really, truly appreciate this act of kindness from Mrs. Pike, and this goes to show that some teachers will stand up for kids not only during school hours. A huge thank you to Mrs. Pike from myself and my daughter. Mary Squires, Creemore Ps. You would think, with all the anti-bullying information that these kids get at NCPS, that things like this wouldn’t happen.
Dear Editor: As a respite from the more serious concerns of mega quarries and wind farms, we thought we might offer a few thoughts about buying “locally.” When we moved to “the hills” 10 years ago we bought materials locally and used local trades to build our home. We continue to use local sources for our livestock health and feed needs and property maintenance. Without understatement we have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the local economy. We continue to buy our lamb (albeit infrequently) from Metheral’s, our beef from Foodland, and our chickens and pork from Hoffman’s. In season we make a bi-weekly trip to Goldsmith’s outside of Thornbury to buy our fruits and vegetables. They offer truly local produce at incredibly reasonable prices. We do not however patronize Creemore’s purveyors of “local”
produce. We will not pay $5 for six carrots nor $4 for a half-dozen perogies. Had my wife’s Ukrainian grandmother been able to sell her perogies at such a price she would have died a multimillionaire. Selling “local” produce should not be a licence to charge prices that put local produce out of the reach of local people. For the past eight years we have bought apples for our horses from Giffen’s in Glen Huron. During this period the price per bag rose from $4 to $6 per bag which seems a reasonable increase of about 6 per cent per year. Today we went to make our usual purchase and found that the apples we had purchased a week ago for $6 were now $10 a bag. An increase of over 66 per cent. When we were children local farmers sold local produce at roadside stands at reasonable prices. It seems now that “local” producers take advantage of the current trendiness of “local,

Note: In Giffen’s defence, we must point out that the price of Ontario apples has gone up significantly everywhere this year, the result of a historically sparse harvest.

This was the first time I actually chatted with Denver for some years, so that was very nice. This was a great time to get together with folks one never normally “runs” into, and catch up with their family news. So, great party, Grace, and many more! We did miss the High Tea in honour of the Queen’s Jubilee that was held at the Creemore Legion, which I was hoping to get to. I thought some folks might even get dressed up in “high tea” fashion for this event, and that would make it quite unique. I have never been to a “high tea,” but just couldn’t manage it. The Ladies Auxilliary put this on, so I hope it was very successful as many of these functions take a lot of preparation and effort. I think it was very smart of you folks to try something new and different – and the Jubilee year is the perfect reason for it. We saw (sort of) our grandboy Curtis Kidd when he flew in for a wedding on Saturday, and then he flew back to Alberta on Sunday. Sort of a “don’t blink or you will have missed him” scenario. But we are glad to see him, for whatever length

CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, February 1, 200 of time, whenever we can. Our grandgirl, Nevada Rowe, has been competing in the Canadian Ranch Roping finals, held in Moosejaw, and has ended up 4th place overall in the Novice division. This girl is about five feet tall, and not very big, but a dedicated cowgirl who does all the same things that a cowboy does – and sometimes she will have to get innovative to “make it work,” but this kid is so determined that, whatever it is, she will make it happen! And, when roping in pairs, she is often the “heeler,” which means she has to throw her rope so that it slides in under the calf’s hind feet while they are in the air, so that they come down into her loop. A tough feat to perfect, but she has a lot of determination, and will work at it until she gets it right! Well done, Kiddo! On October 2, 1535, Jacques Cartier discovered the Iroquoian village of Hochelaga – the site of present-day Montreal. This was on his second voyage to Canada.

No breach of Code of Conduct for Hilchey
(Continued from page 1) or benefits; the disclosure of confidential information; the use of Township property or services for personal benefit; failure to follow the Municipal Elections Act; inappropriate conduct toward Township staff; the mixing of personal and Township business; inappropriate conduct at Council or Committee meetings; inappropriate conduct regarding current or prospective employment; improper use of influence; disrespect for the decisionmaking process of Council; or obstruction of the work of the Integrity Commissioner. An introductory section of the Code lists several “key principles” on which the document is founded; one of these states that “Members of Council are expected to perform their duties in Office and arrange their private affairs in a manner that promotes public confidence and will bear the burden of close public scrutiny.” However, Phillipson made it clear that her role is “not to investigate principles, but to investigate offences.” She also suggested that if Council wanted her to be able to weigh in on situations like Hilchey’s in the future, they would have to add another provision to the offences section of the code, including discreditable conduct as one of the transgressions. Such a move would not be retroactive, however, so would not be applicable to the current situation. And Phillipson added that inserting such a clause would not be her recommendation, as the Code of Conduct is meant to deal with transgressions that have no other process for disciplinary actions. Contraventions of zoning bylaws or property maintenance bylaws are punishable under those pieces of legislation, and to bring further action under a Code of Conduct could be interpreted as a case of double jeopardy, she said. “To my knowledge, no other municipal Code of Conduct has such a provision,” she said. Mulmur Township has had an Integrity Commissioner in place since April 20, 2011, and Mayor Paul Mills agreed with Phillipson that the current situation was part of a “learning process” for all involved. With that, Council decided to defer any further action on the file to its next meeting.
Solar Project for Township Building
Mulmur Township will resubmit an application under the Ontario Power Authority’s Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) program, in hopes of installing solar panels on the roofs of both the Township building and the utility shed that sits on the same property. Mulmur’s initial application was made in March 2011, but was not processed in time to be granted before the
first round of FIT contracts was completed. A new intake has now begun, and Robert Stein of Fitz Construction Services visited Council Tuesday to bring them up to date on several changes to the program. First and foremost, the rates paid for both solar and wind projects have been decreased, to reflect decreased equipment costs, said Stein. Where Mulmur would have been paid 71.3 cents per kilowatt had they been approved under the old system, they can now expect to receive 54.8 cents per kilowatt. However, the project envisioned in 2011 would have cost $310,000 and produced up to 62 kWh; the project they will now apply for will cost $260,000 and produce up to 75 kWh. Considering the differences in cost and return, Stein said the final result would be about even. The second major change to the FIT program is that applications are now being prioritized based on project type, municipal support, aboriginal support, project readiness and electricity system benefit. With a total of seven priority points available, projects will be granted three points for community co-op participation, three points for aboriginal participation, two points for participation from school boards or health care institutions, two points for municipal council support, two points for aboriginal support, one point for project readiness, one point if the project application was timestamped before July 24, 2011, a half a point if it was timestamped after July 5, 2011, two points if the project is being hosted on a school or hospital, and one point if there is a clear benefit to the electricity system. The Mulmur project, Stein explained, would get four points: two for its municipal support, one for its readiness and one for the fact that it was originally applied for in March 2011. A third change to the FIT program now asserts that projects must be completed within 18 months of approval; Stein anticipated an approval for Mulmur in March 2014, meaning the Township would have until December 2014 to get its system up and running. Asked about how the Township would fund the project, treasurer Harry Bunker said the money would have to be debentured or borrowed from a commercial bank. He anticipated that the project would pay for itself in eight-and-a-half years, and that it would generate a profit of about $380,000 over the life of the 20-year FIT project. With that, Council voted unanimously to re-submit the application.

Making Waves in Retirement Living!
support from Creemore Medical Centre chair Bill Mann, Mulmur Council decided Monday night to postpone any talk of contributing to the building’s expansion plans until the Township’s 2013 budget is under discussion. After noting that one third of the Medical Centre’s patrons hail from Mulmur Township, Mann had suggested a donation of $30,000, but on Tuesday Council decided that there was no money to be found in this year’s budget to make such a contribution. Noting that Council had just voted to add $2,500 to the $5,000 they had previously committed to the paving of the Shelburne Public Library’s parking lot, Councillor Earl Hawkins said he believed it made “more sense to make a contribution to a medical centre than to a parking lot.” However, while the money for the Library is coming out of development charges, Treasurer Bunker told Council he had no mechanism to find money for the Creemore Medical Centre in the current budget. This led to an extended discussion of the peculiar situation that Mulmur finds itself in, being serviced by three fire departments, several libraries and several health care institutions, all of them but one fire department existing outside municipal boundaries. “We’re really torn here in Mulmur Township,” said Hawkins. To that end, Campbell Moon saidTHE there CREEMORE was a need “to comprehensively look at what our constituents want us to do” when committing money to outside institutions. Council then voted to defer discussion of a contribution to the Creemore Medical Centre to its 2013 budget deliberations.
OMB Settlements Reached
Mulmur Council voted Tuesday morning to accept the terms of two settlements with regard to outstanding appeals of the Township’s Official Plan. One final appeal, filed by Conserving Our Rural Environment (CORE) and dealing with the mapping of the aggregate extraction area on the Arbour Farms property, remains unsettled and will be heard by the Ontario Municipal Board during a three-day hearing at the Mulmur Township office, beginning at 11 am on Tuesday, October 16. One of the settlements approved Tuesday morning dealt with the now-resolved dispute with John Thomson over the 3rd Line; the second involved the Township accepting several changes to the wording of the Official Plan’s general policies regarding resource extraction, which were suggested by appellant Arbour Farms.

Alexander G.J.E. Plomp of Feversham, Ontario, husband to Gerry (Ham) Plomp, passed away at home on Friday, Sept. 28, 2012 in his 79th year. He was born in Utrecht, the Netherlands on August 21, 1934, son of the late Willem Frederick Plomp and Annigje (Ernst) Plomp. As a young man, Alex served in the Royal Netherlands Army, then became a tool and die maker. He immigrated to Canada with his wife and children from the Netherlands in 1966. His long and successful career included a machine shop in Mississauga and a fish farm and aquaculture equipment business in Feversham and Creemore, exporting equipment to Government hatcheries throughout North America. Alex enjoyed traveling for business all over Canada and the US, fishing, building, and spending time with family and friends. He was also a member of the Royal Canadian Legion. He loved Canada and felt very close to our First Nations people and their spiritual beliefs. He enjoyed learning much about them at the many pow wows that he and Gerry attended. Alex had a deep respect for nature and preferred to be outdoors. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Gerry; a son, Laurens Plomp (Joni) of Houston, a daughter Sandy Gott (Jamie) of Feversham; two sisters, Gon and Nel; and one brother Wim all of the Netherlands; five grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his beloved first grandchild, Alanna Plomp; also predeceased by two sisters, Greet and Anne of the Netherlands. In respect of the deceased beliefs, a memorial celebration of his life will be held by family members only. Donations may be made to the Canadian War Museum, 1 Vimy Place, Ottawa K1A 0M8 or the Salvation Army. Messages of condolences can be sent to Gerry Plomp at General Delivery, Feversham, Ontario, N0C 1C0.
