COUNCIL LOOKS AT TOWING BYLAW

HARD WORK PAYS OFF A few weeks ago, we printed a picture of the Station on the Green board members sorting through a chaotic pile of books at the Curling Club. At 8 am last Saturday, the fruits of their labour were obvious, with the Station transformed into the ultimate used book shop. Six hours later, the books were gone and more than $6,000 had been raised for the building’s upkeep and maintenance.

Echo Briefs Party at the Skate Park

After many years of community fundraising, the Creemore Skate Park will be the subject of an official “Appreciation Day” on Saturday, October 9 from 10 am to noon. A team of pro skateboarders from the Fathom skate shop in Collingwood will be on hand to demonstrate some tricks. You can also enjoy the refreshments and listen to “short speeches” honouring the fundraising and construction work of Cole McArthur, Michael and Judy Fuke, Keith and Nigel Roberts, and many others.

Mocks Tickets On Sale Tickets are still available for the Creemore Mocks gala on Saturday, October 16. Fourteen entries have been received and all are hilarious. Buy your tickets at the Market and at the Echo or Curiosity House while they last.

by Brad Holden One of the final bylaws to be considered by this term of Council was previewed in draft form on Monday night – a towing bylaw that would regulate towing companies, their trucks, drivers, compounds and rate schedules. It would also limit companies allowed to respond to police calls to those with compounds in or within two kilometres of Township borders. The proposed bylaw is in response to an OPP standing order stating police would only call companies with compounds within the local detachment’s boundaries unless municipalities have their own regulatory bylaw. As several companies outside of Clearview have traditionally operated here, Council directed staff to create a bylaw. It’s expected a public meeting regarding the bylaw will occur sometime in November.

Fall Colour Cancer Walk

The annual Dunedin Fall Colour Cancer Walk will start at the Dunedin Hall at 10 am on Saturday, October 16, and travel 6.2 kilometres to Glen Huron. All proceeds go to the Canadian Cancer Society. Pledges are available at the Echo or by calling 726-8032.

CCC Q&A shows rift on quarry A questionnaire distributed by the Clearview Community Coalition (CCC), a group opposing the proposed new quarry on the Niagara Escarpment west of Duntroon, shows a division of opinion between current Councillors and their challengers. None of the challengers support the agreement between the Township and Walker Industries to downgrade part of County Road 91 from a County to a Township road and to close part of it to facilitate the new quarry. As part of the agreement the Township is supporting Walker’s application for an amendment to the Niagara Escarpment Plan and the Township’s

possibly grandfather, taught school at Randwick many years ago) were there as was Bev (Coulter) Bently from the Corn Hill area with her cousin Laura (Coulter) Jardine. Then there was Jim and Marilyn Steed, and Jim informed me that those “giant marshmallows” (Big round hay bales wrapped in white plastic) that Jim has out in rows on his farm “just don’t taste all that good!” What a bummer! Just imagine all the Rice Krispie squares one could produce with marshmallows that size! We had a Rama bus trip this past Tuesday, and we would like to thank all you folks that travelled with us. You see, I collect five dollars from each person going on the bus, and that goes straight into our Senior’s coffers. Rama pays Great Canadian (the bus company) to transport us up and back. The $5 per passenger isn’t a lot for each person to pay, but it surely does give our Senior’s a big boost as we have one trip every month. We have been fortunate to have several people go faithfully every month when it is at all possible, and we really appreciate this as sometimes it is very difficult to round up enough passengers to keep this service available. For some seniors, it is their one trip a month “out of town” and they look forward to it (and we are also looking

forward to you being able to travel with us again, Vera Pettigrew.) Not all our passengers are seniors – you just have to be 19 years of age or more. We usually have a fun trip. You can probably imagine the tom foolery going on when you put Barb Cudmore, Marie Blohm, Phyllis Seed, Ray Leighton, Marjory Rolfe, Norma Johnston and others together in a big tin can for an hour or more! We would like to thank Norma Johnston for the goodies, and Marie Blohm, Lori Keith, Ellen Whitley and Phyllis Seed for the jokes, along with my friend Red Coppell and others from Alberta for their input. It is greatly appreciated. By the way, Ray Leighton and Marion Kelly nearly came much too “up close and personal” with a big buck deer that ran right in front of Ray’s vehicle, and he had to do a bit of fancy “Macgyving” to miss it. Then Ron and June Hartley had two deer bounce out in front of them on Riverside Drive west of Creemore when they were on their way to town on Tuesday morning. It is bow hunting season, I believe, so maybe that is what is pushing the deer out of the bush more than usual. A belated Happy Anniversary goes out to Steve and Phyllis Seed on the occasion of their 63rd Anniversary on October 4. All the best to you both.

Homeless, but not friendless FROM THE OTHER SIDE

At my retirement party back in April I mentioned that after settling in Connecticut I had hoped to write a regular column for the Echo – something like “View from the Other Craig Side.” Now it’s six months SIMPSON later and there’s still no story. Why? Because we have not yet settled in Connecticut, our intended new home is in legal limbo, and we are actually homeless. The situation is boringly complex, but basically comes down to the builder going bankrupt the week before our scheduled closing date. This was quickly followed by a bunch of sub-contractors slapping mechanic’s liens on the property in an effort to get paid. The case is now in bankruptcy court, with teams of lawyers representing all the

various parties trying to arrive at some settlements. The new mortgage holder is a hedge fund, who has no interest in selling and building houses, just in making money by flipping the whole thing. Probably the most frustrating part of the problem is that no one knows how long this process will take, with the latest “best guess” being early 2011. An obvious alternative is to find another house. But we chose this particular adult lifestyle development after months of research, and then had the opportunity to design the house to our wishes. We have since revisited all the other communities we considered the first time around, only to reinforce that we made the best choice. So we are technically homeless. Meanwhile our furniture, clothes and personal goods remain in storage in Owen Sound. Our original plan had things in storage for just a month, so as Barbara put it, we just kept out shorts, tee-shirts and flipflops. Our moving company has been helpful and

understanding, but they had to acknowledge that it would be cheaper for us to buy some new cold weather clothes than to go through all the containers trying to find things. This may sound like a great chance for a new wardrobe, but it really isn’t. The mantra for this kind of situation is the old bromide “things happen for a reason.” We truly do believe that and have also discovered a bright side. We have been able to spend considerable time with our children and grandchildren, which was the whole reason for the move in the first place. We have also been able to do quite a bit of travelling, including a recent fall colours trip around Lake Huron. But best of all, we have been blessed by the endless kindness and generosity of our many friends here in Creemore. Without this support we would be suffering from the true despair that destitute people without homes must feel. We will be forever grateful. So while that regular column will have to wait, I will leave you with a few observations from our travels on the other side of the border. Americans are not as angry as those constant news clips about the Tea Party would lead you to believe. That said, the run-up to the November elections contains a worrisome degree of crazy people and ideas. Americans living close to the border are quite aware of Canada, and, in fact, several expressed the wish to live here. While we Canadians are not blameless on this matter, the number of overweight Americans is truly staggering. No wonder so many there are worried about health care costs bankrupting the country! More to come, hopefully sooner rather than later.

some colour plates, but it is the author’s thorough research and clear writing that tells this compelling story. The book has just been nominated for the 2010 Writers’ Trust Non-Fiction Prize. Painters Eleven, on the other hand, is a sumptuously illustrated book. This is the first book about the Toronto group comprised of eleven abstract expressionist painters including Jack Bush, Harold Town and William Ronald. Nowell has devoted a chapter to each artist, comprised of a biography, interesting photographs of them, their studios, their earlier more representational work and many gorgeous full- colour plates of work in private and public collections. These painters, also defiant, were frustrated because they felt they were being overlooked and that all the attention was focused on other movements in New York, Montreal and Europe. Although many had had individual shows, they decided to make more of a statement by having a group exhibition in 1954. This definitely drew attention and criticism, but after several more shows this group of daring abstract expressionists succeeded in capturing the attention of collectors and the acclaim of the international art world. Iris Nowell, through her relationship with Harold Town, knew many of these artists very well and brings her own personal stories, anecdotes and perspective, which greatly enriches the history of this group. Another book of note is Bateman New Works, a wonderful collection of recent works by Robert Bateman featuring over 100 full-colour reproductions

Iris Nowell, author of Painters 11: The Wild Ones of Canadian Art, will be signing books at Curiosity House on Saturday, October 9 from 10 am to noon and 2 to 4 pm. depicting birds, mammals and other wildlife. In his introduction and 10 short essays, Bateman shares his thoughts on nature, education, the environment and the role of art in the preservation of the wilderness. A book I am looking forward to, Inuit Modern, is due out in November. This is a gorgeous retrospective on the transformation of Inuit art in the 20th century from the traditional to incorporating the influences of globalization and climate change. Essays by leading Canadian scholars examine the immense cultural, social and political changes in the Arctic which have affected the Inuit and their art.

creemore dish

how yummy (and easy) this dessert We decided to take the It’s much safer that way what... it had apples in it. Problem is. As my sister Vicki would say month of September off, because me on a ladder in solved. when she really likes something, “It’s at least as far as the B&B an apple tree is a dangerous So here’s a dessert treat that is to die for!” It didn’t seem to have a is concerned. It was really proposition indeed! As per fun for the whole family – thank formal name, so I created one. Hope nice to sleep in a few usual, I was wracking my you Bev. She got the recipe from a you like it! times and not have to brains to come up with an lady she works with, who makes it Feedback is great and I would get up so early to make apple-related recipe for for every special occasion at their Elaine love to hear from you. Email me at breakfasts. With the extra this year. Then our friend office. This week I am passing on COLLIER elaine@avalonclearview.com. time, we were also able Bev Nederpel came up to the recipe which has been passed on Until next time, eat well, live to make it to a number of visit for the weekend. She to me. I have to admit Stephen and well.... events and had a great time catching offered to make dessert and guess I were delightfully surprised at just up with all and sundry in the village. Fall is a wonderful time to visit the Farmers’ Market (did that), attend the Harvest Festival at New Farm 400 g Light Philly Cream Cheese, softened (did that), and go out leaf-looking 283 g container caramel dip (usually found around the grocery store fruit aisles) (did that too). 2 - 3 Skor bars Last but not least, for the first time 2 -3 Granny Smith apples (or other tart apples) in over 10 years Stephen was not on Lemon juice the Purple Hills Studio Tour. That White sugar meant we could actually leave the house and visit a number of studios First, get out a nice serving plate (large, flat and round). Using a dinner knife spread the container of cream cheese rather than just looking at them in in a large circle on the plate, spreading the cheese out to within 2 inches of the plate edge. Second step: the caramel the annual brochure. I also got off dip is usually kept refrigerated, so take it out of the refrigerator and warm it up in the microwave. Be careful – you chocolate chip cookie duty – we just want it soft and pliable, not melted. Using a second dinner knife, spread the caramel carefully on top and out to usually go through a great number within 1 inch of the edge of the cream cheese. Third step: crack the chocolate covered Skor bars into small pieces, of cookies on the tour weekend and it using a meat pounder or other heavy object. You want the pieces to be almost granular. Sprinkle the Skor pieces over was nice to get a break. We couldn’t top of the caramel. Fourth step (and you are almost done): cut the apples lengthwise into thin slices (but thick enough get out to see everyone’s work but we to stand up on their own). Push the apple slices slightly into the layers so that they stand on end, decorate the “pizza” certainly enjoyed those we did see. in any pattern you want or just cover the whole thing with apple slices all standing in a row. Serve immediately. Let I now have one of Hannun Lyn’s everyone pick out their own apple slices, and using them as dippers, scoop up the delicious mixture. delicate little porcelain bowls to add If you are not going to eat this immediately, place the plate in the refrigerator without the apples. When you slice to our growing art collection. the apples, place them in a bowl with a little lemon juice and sugar so they won’t brown. When you’re ready, take And as everyone knows, it’s applethe plate out of the fridge and let it sit for 10 minutes or so. Then drain the apples, pat dry with a paper towel and picking time again for those who love decorate as outlined above. This is a great communal dessert and believe me, everyone will want to get in on the the “pick your own” season. In my dipping action! case I let Bob Giffen and his capable apple experts do the selection for me.

SCI Terry Fox Run raises $3,000

On Friday, September 24, students and staff at Stayner Collegiate Institute participated in the 30th annual Terry Fox Run for cancer research. “Who Are You Walking for?” was the focus of this year’s Run. Students signed a memory wall to record the names of the people they would be honouring and wore name tags identifying those individuals during the event. “Today we are proud to be walking for our greatgrandmother, Dorothy Rusk, who passed away from cancer,” said Kaylee and Lexi Hare (above), whose family made a substantial donation, boosting Stayner Collegiate’s total to over $3,000. The students ran/walked a five-kilometre route around Stayner Collegiate Institute and Clearview Meadows Elementary School and enjoyed apples donated by the Healthy Active Living Committee afterward. “Stayner Collegiate has a strong history of community involvement,” said SCI principal Jane Seymour. “We are so proud of our students for coming together to support this great cause.” Stayner Collegiate Institute is celebrating its 50th year in 2010-11. Reunion preparations are underway to observe this milestone in May 2011. Contact the school at (705) 428-2639 for more information.

Gift of Music festival returns on October 23 by Bill Mann For its 2010 season, St Lukeâ€™s Gift of Music will present an eclectic mix of performers, instruments and musical genres. It begins on Saturday, October 23 at 7:30 pm with the Ontario Provincial Police Chorus, made up of present and past members of the force singing selections from gospel, sacred, popular and folk music as well as show tunes. We were fortunate to have them agree to come since they are in high demand, doing as many as 30 concerts a year throughout the province. We would suggest caution in your parking and driving behaviour while this group is in town!

On Sunday, December 5, Dan LaBrash, a guitarist from the Hockley Valley, will be joined by flautist Kim Stevenson to play a selection of classical and reflective contemporary works. Many of the latter pieces have been composed by guitarist LaBrash. Dan delighted listeners at one of the venues during the recent Purple Hills garden tour.

Creemore Scouting

Apple Day Sat., Oct.9

The Scouts, Cubs and Beavers invite you to enjoy a delicious apple and make a donation to Scouting in your community at various locations throughout Creemore.

On behalf of the Board of Creemore Station on the Green I want to say a huge “Thank You” to all those donors and buyers who made the Big Book Bash such a success. Folks were generous with their donations of used books and buyers were eager to take them home. But without a group of very dedicated and hardworking volunteers those boxes would never have been translated into the selection that was available on Saturday. Board members and friends alike came when needed and sometimes just dropped by the arena to sort and clean and stack. A very special “Thank You” to some who gave time above and beyond what was expected: Linda Coulter, Paul Ruppel, Isobel and Bill MacDougall, Cheryl Cockburn. And to the “grands” for the comic relief. Thanks also to the Curling Club which allowed us to use the rink for storing and sorting. Although it did get a little chilly when the ice-making plant was turned on at the Arena – it’s the same system. Ski jackets, boots, and gloves were a definite must. We expect to clear $6700 after expenses are paid up and this will go toward maintenance of the Station – fence repair, painting, purchase of a Defibrillator, etc. Thank you all again – see you in 2 years! Marg Purkis, Chair, Station on the Green

classes Fall Yoga. October 5 to November 25 at the Station on the Green: Tuesdays 9-10:30am and Thursdays 9-10:30am. Pre-registration required.

For more information call 424-6972.

good food box The Good Food Box Program, a volunteer run organization, helps families eat a healthier diet with fresh fruit and vegetables. Order and pay by Wednesday, October 13 by phoning Lorna May at 466-2759. Pick up on Wednesday, October 20. $10/small or $14/large.

FIREARMS Wanted – Collections or single antique and modern rifles, shotguns, handguns, military collectibles, swords, bayonets & knives, military & hunting gear, ammunition & reloading supplies, decoys, fishing tackle, outdoor sporting collectibles, etc, for November 20th 2010 Firearms and Militaria Auction at the Creemore Legion Hall.
