Cashtown Corners development proceeding A building permit and site plan agreement was issued for the Cashtown Corners development Friday, said Lloyd Hunt, architect and agent. The property, which was the site of a derelict gas station, will be redeveloped to accommodate an Esso On the Run, gas bar and convenience store, and Tim Hortons. Tim Hortons will have eight seats and a drive-through. The gas bar will have four double starting gate style pumps, meaning each line feeds through one pump. A seasonal market is also allowed in the site plan agreement. If the weather cooperates, construction could begin this fall.

Christmas comes early to Creemore by Trina Berlo It was snowing last week in Creemore, but only at one intersection. The flurries were the result of a storm that blew into the village in the form of a film crew that was shooting a holiday television commercial for Interac at Cardboard Castles Children’s Emporium. Proprietress Laurie Copeland said she was approached by the executive producer of the commercial, who was familiar with the store, last month to see if she would allow them access to the store. Copeland agreed and a crew began rearranging the store beginning at closing time on Monday, Oct. 5. The shoot went until midnight on Tuesday. “It all came together very quickly,” she said. Copeland said she isn’t sure how recognizable the store will be in the commercial once it airs because the store was completely transformed.

at night and even decorated the pharmacy across the street with Christmas lights because it can be seen through the window in some shots. The commercial encourages people to pay for holiday purchases with Interac to avoid accumulating debt. The toys, including a large stuffed bear, start singing the word debt over and over to the tune of In the Hall of the Mountain King. The bear, said Copeland, was being operated like a large puppet, from under the table. The commercial was filmed in both English and French, so set changes were necessary to change any signs. “It was really fun to be a part of it. It was neat to see how it all comes together,” said Copeland. She said about 60 people were in town for the shoot and some of them stayed in local B&Bs and shopped at local businesses.

The 5th annual One-Stop Christmas Shop at Duntroon Hall is Friday, Nov. 13. The hall is looking for vendors for the event, which runs from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. A table costs $25. Set up begins at 9 a.m. Organizers are also looking for donations for the bake table and they will be selling chili, both meat and vegetarian, and hot drinks. Email thethreedees@sympatico.ca for more information or to book a table.

New hall board for Nottawa Council appointed five members to the Nottawa Hall board Oct. 5. Following a brief in-camera session at the start of the meeting, when the appointments were discussed behind closed doors, Anne Marie Hodgart, Shannon Robinson, Roger Robinson, Jason Whyte and Ray Zwarych were approved as board members. The Nottawa Memorial Community Centre has been without a board of directors since members resigned en masse in August. In a statement released at the time, hall board members said they were resigning because they felt disrespected and mistreated as a result of an unfair process, completed with no consultation, communication, notification or justification to other small hall boards or the taxpayer, that resulted in Avening Hall being allocated $110,000 in grant money.

Two Clearview students become fire chief for a day by Trina Berlo Two Clearview Township elementary school students were sworn in as fire chiefs for the day Thursday. Clearview Meadows Elementary School Grade 1 student Carson Kemsley and New Lowell Central Public School Grade 2 student Joel Gotthelf won a day on the job with Fire Chief Colin Shewell, Deputy Fire Chief Roree Payment and crew in a contest held as part of Fire Prevention Week. “Clearview Fire and Emergency Service has developed this contest to encourage young children to think about smoke alarm safety,” said Shewell. “The bonus is that the two winners will get to experience all of the excitement of being involved with the fire department.” Clearview students in JK to Grade 4 were eligible to win through a township

wide colouring contest, which ask students to review smoke alarm safety. The winners, drawn randomly from all entries, were picked up at their homes in a fire truck before going to 97.7 The Beach in Collingwood for a radio interview, said Payment. They were then brought to Station 1 in Stayner, where they were taken on a tour of the fire, police and EMS areas. After dressing in bunker gear they began their training, dragging rescue dummies, putting out fires, riding in the ATV and learning about fire safety. “Once these events wrapped up and it was obvious they had what it took to be Chief, they were sworn into office by Mayor [Chris] Vanderkruys,” said Payment. “The day finished up with a pizza lunch along side the firefighters and Chief Shewell before being dropped off at home in a fire truck. A fun day was had by all.”

by Trina Berlo Clearview Township is hosting the seventh annual Georgian Bay Reads this month when representative from five area libraries will champion their literary choices. At the event, held at Station on the Green in Creemore on Saturday, Oct. 24, Beth Crawley, representing Clearview, defends Unless by Carol Shields, Ian Adams, representing Wasaga Beach, defends No Relation by Terry Fallis, Cindy Lou LeDrew, representing Meaford, defends The Virgin Cure by Ami McKay, Susie Saunderson, representing Collingwood, defends Still Life by Louise Penny and Linda Collins, representing Springwater, defends Emancipation Day by Wayne Grady. The showdown will be moderated by Lorraine Gruzuk, who won last year, on behalf of Wasaga Beach. During this lively two-hour debate, said Michele McKenzie, of Clearview Public Library, the moderator gives set questions and time frames to each defender who has to impress the audience with their knowledge and ability to convey these thoughts in a

timely manner with bells clanging if the allotted time is exceeded. With each round of questions, a defender is eliminated until the winner of the highly prestigious Georgian Bay Reads shale trophy is determined. The audience is encouraged to read the books and cast a vote for the People’s Choice Award. “Enjoy lively interaction with other like-minded bibliophiles who enjoy the power of a good story,” said McKenzie. “Please join us next Saturday night as we celebrate and discover the merits of wonderful story-telling in these five good Canadian reads.” Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the event runs from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. There will be door prizes and complimentary appetizers and samples of Creemore Springs beer will be served at intermission. There is no cost of admission but tickets are required for entry. Tickets are available at the Creemore branch of the Clearview Public Library or by calling 705-4663011. The event coincides with Ontario Public Library week. For more information, visit georgianbayreads.ca.

Clearview library hosts Georgian Bay Reads

G&M hospital asks Clearview council to continue with annual grant Collingwood General and Marine Hospital Foundation executive director Jory Pritchard-Kerr was before Clearview Township council last week asking council members to maintain its annual grant of $1.25 per household, which amounts to $7,721.25. Pritchard-Kerr also provided an update on the foundation’s New Age of Care campaign. She said the campaign wrapped up when it hit $9,878,136 because it was sufficient funds to purchase the equipment and technology necessary to improve diagnoses and patient care. In her report, Pritchard-Kerr highlighted a system to store and

transfer electronic diagnostic images to allow real time consultations with specialists in larger centres; a CT scanner that instantly builds 3D images and uploads them for radiologists to review, saving almost 30 minutes on emergency diagnoses; a digital X-ray suite that is twice as fast with 80 per cent less radiation; three ultrasound units and two portable units to reduce patient wait times and allow for bedside diagnostics in the emergency room and obstetrics; digital mammography that creates a 3D image of the breast; technology that allows for real time imaging for orthopaedic surgery and electronic medical record management.

The Way we were

PVR the Blue Jays game Monday and go vote Dear disengaged voter, I don’t know what you have planned on Monday but it would be great if you could swing by your polling station and engage in democracy. I realize the Blue Jays will be playing that night and the team has way more support than any of the party leaders ever will but it is our civic duty to vote. On Monday, it is important that you include voting in your pre-game ritual. Wear your blues if you must, the Conservatives will be glad you did. The polling station won’t be fancy, there won’t be any beer and peanuts or a flat-screen TV, and I wish I could tell you that you will leave with a great sense of satisfaction but I don’t want to be delusive. Nevertheless, I implore you to go vote. I realize that you couldn’t get out to the advance polls because they happen to fall on Thanksgiving weekend and you were standing guard over a turkey, if not on the road to family functions. So Monday is the day. Because you are disengaged and have lost track of all the issues in this, the longest federal election in history, you have a greater challenge than in past years. You must find something to motivate you to cast that ballot or you will be another statistic. In the 2011 federal election, voter turnout was 61.1 per cent (not an all time low but a close second to the federal election in 2008). You are a resident of the Simcoe-Grey riding and there are five candidates on the ballot. Our MP Kellie Leitch, who won with 49.37 per cent of votes last time around, is sharing the ballot with Liberal Mike MacEachern, NDP David Matthews, Green JoAnne Fleming and Len Noordegraaf of the Christian Heritage Party. Voters should have received their voter cards by now but if you didn’t, that’s no excuse not to vote. You can register to vote at the polling station, just before you vote, with proof of name and address. All you have to do is show your driver’s licence or any other government card with your photo, name and current address. If your identification doesn’t show your current address, bring ID and something that reflects your current address. Failing all that, you can take an oath if there is someone present who knows you and can attest to your address. (This person must show proof of identity and address, be registered in the same polling division, and attest for only one person, all according to Elections Canada.) With the technicalities covered, you are running out of excuses, with one glaring exception. Maybe you don’t know who to vote for. I can’t help you there. Send your letters to The Creemore Echo, 3 Caroline Street West, Box 1219, Creemore, ON L0M 1G0, email to info@creemore.com or drop them off at the Echo’s Office. Letters must include the sender’s full name.

Having a film crew in town was reminiscent of the time Creemore was transformed into a werewolf battleground for the 2006 movie Skinwalkers. At that time, Noel Van Walleghem's Meat Market was transformed into Manny's Butcher Shop.

Niqab is a distraction from the main issues Editor: I deplore the niqab and what it says about women. However, this is a distraction from the main issues in the coming election and must not be allowed to hijack it. The Harper government is trying to run this election on a platform of fear to avoid looking at their record over the past decade. Harper boasts of his economic stewardship, but in reality, it has been deplorable. During the last downturn, Canada was the only G7 country to slip into a recession. During the last decade, the middle class has slipped substantially. Unemployment is at a very high level. People are working at part-time low paying jobs with no benefits or security and no real hope of bettering their prospects. Young people, even those with advanced degrees, are finding great difficulty in finding good jobs. Our veterans have

been treated shabbily, and the poor have become more poor. Ontario is becoming a “have not” province. Harper has squandered millions of dollars in making this election far longer than it should be, in order to give them an advantage because of their much larger funding power. Harper has damaged our democracy. He has stifled debate within Parliament with his omnibus budget bills, preventing discussion of important legislation included in the bill. He has muzzled the scientists and destroyed most of the environmental protections built up over the years. Anyone who disagrees with him is dismissed or demoted. Any organization that does not agree with his policies is closed, defunded or subjected to odious audits. He has arbitrarily cancelled the long-form census as well as the gun registry (even (See “Harper” on page 5)

Defaced sign was not writer's doing Editor: I received an email from a friend asking if I was behind the defaced Dr. Kellie Leitch signs along County Road 9.

Ginger Pork Simmer

1 pound pork pieces (bite size) 1 tablespoon all purpose flour 4 green onions, chopped (reserve some of green tips for garnish) 2 tablespoons canola oil 1/2 cup chicken stock 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon powdered ginger 1 teaspoon white sugar 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder In a measuring cup, combine chicken stock, soy sauce, ginger, sugar and garlic powder and mix well. in a large plastic bag, add 1 tablespoon flour,

then add pork pieces, seal bag and toss pork pieces to coat. Heat a large skillet to medium high, add canola oil and then floured pork into pan. Sauté pork until lightly browned, adding a bit more oil if necessary. Add green onions and sauté lightly. Add stock mixture slowly to the skillet and stir. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve over rice or noodles, garnished with onion greens. Note: I usually double this recipe for hungry appetites and/or leftovers. Serves 4.

and casseroles that seem to hit the spot right about now. I also thought that by the time Echo readers read this week’s edition of the paper, they would be getting kind of tired of turkey this or turkey that! So I declare this week’s column a turkey free zone! The following recipe comes from the deepest, darkest recesses of my old recipe box. I originally wrote it out on one of those little white index cards – yes, it’s that old. It was splattered

with food stains (in this case, I think it was soy sauce), which means I used to make this dish a lot. Now that I’ve rediscovered it, I think I’ll make up a double batch with one for immediate consumption and the other to be popped into the freezer for later. Hope you enjoy! Feedback is great and I would love to hear from you. Just email me at elaine@avalonclearview.com. Until next time, eat well, live well...

Harper has damaged Canada’s reputation abroad (Continued from page 4) though the police wanted to keep it). He arbitrarily tried to railroad Nadon onto the Supreme Court of Canada, and he has publicly assailed the integrity of the Chief Justice when the court declared Nadon ineligible. His appointments to the senate of such unqualified people as Duffy and Wallen have been well documented in the press. (Does anyone believe that he knew nothing of the payment to Duffy given his wellknown micro management?) What about some of the people he has chosen to run in this election (eg. the former candidate who was caught peeing in a customer’s cup)? Harper has damaged Canada’s reputation abroad. In 2010, for the first time, Canada’s bid for a seat on the Security Council of the United Nations was defeated. Jean Chretien has said the Harper government has tarnished almost 60 years of Canada’s reputation as a builder of peace and progress developed under both successive Liberal and Progressive Conservative governments. Harper ’s heartless

response to the Syrian refugee crisis is the latest example. I am very worried about what he has given away in the secret negotiations to join the TPP. Canada is not a super power and would not have a big voice in negotiations. It is rumoured that the agricultural and automotive sectors will suffer. I am very worried about how our medical system will be affected. We have a good medical system (not the best in the world but better than most, and infinitely better than the U.S.) I am afraid that our system might be privatized. I am afraid that the powerful pharmaceutical industry will destroy our access to generic drugs and our ability to buy drugs at a reasonable cost because of buying in such large quantities. We m u s t r e a l i z e t h e H a r p e r government is not the old Progressive Conservative Party of yesterday. It is in reality the Reform Party led by an autocratic and mean spirited leader. Harper must go. Christina Wigle, Creemore.

The village of Creemore was abundant with activity on Thanksgiving weekend. The Toronto and North York Hunt's pass through the village, which has become a cherished annual tradition, was bigger and better than ever. Spectators were invited to mingle with riders, horses and dogs at the Gordon Feed and Seed lot following the parade, and witness the blessing of the horses and hounds. The parade was enhanced by the last outdoor Farmers' Market of the season, the apple pie contest, Oktoberfest at Creemore Springs Brewery and other events around town.

Siskins face tough season if they 'play hit and miss': GM

by Alex Hargrave Stayner Siskins 2015-16 Junior C hockey team is a middle of the pack club, apparent by their winning record in the first nine games. Siskins general manager Richard Gauthier hopes the club that is sitting with a 4-3-2 record can persevere as the youngsters learn the junior game and key veteran players heal from injuries. Gauthier was feeling good about the club for their play last week until they gave Orillia Terriers their first victory, 6-3, of the season Sunday evening. Granted, Terriers goalie Gordie Weiss stood on his head in earning the win. That’s the same Gordie, a onetime Siskin cut by Gauthier, who single handedly upset Stayner in last season’s playoff opening round. The previous Sunday Stayner tied the Erin Shamrocks, 3-3, defeated that same Terriers team, 3-2, Wednesday and blasted the Shamrocks, 6-1,

Thursday night before a home crowd. Said Gauthier, “It’s going to be a tough year if we play hit and miss. We can’t play two good games and then not the next one… We’ve got to play with a little more want.” Although veteran Ricky Darrell leads the league with 10 goals and six assists, Gauthier said losing Quinten Bruce from last year is hard to replace. Bruce finished second overall in scoring last year and Darrell was in the top 10. Siskins’ Kyle Lafreniere, Sean Healy and Brendon Skidmore are sidelined with injuries and things didn’t get any better when Ben Lougheed quit the team after six games. “We’re a pretty quick team. We’re a young team. It’s tough for a young guy to play like a veteran. They have to grow,” he pointed out. On the positive side, Lucas Jeffery is showing a touch around the net with

playmaking ability. He has notched four goals and six assists and is tied for 10th in league scoring. Jordan Taylor, the team’s 16-yearold has scored a couple of times and assisted on four. His first junior goal was against Erin early in the third period to put Stayner ahead 4-1 with Isaac Swanton and Ryan Hudson assisting. Swanton would score his first junior goal a little more than three minutes later, Taylor and Kort Weir assisting. Creemore’s Jackson Clarke, who is never afraid to come to his teammates rescue, has also potted a couple of goals. There’s lots of homegrown talent on this year’s Siskins. Thursday night Penetang, 5-3-0, is in town with an 8:10 p.m. start. Get out and cheer them on. Sunday the club is in Caledon. Leading the league once again is the Alliston, 7-1-0.

REQUEST FOR GRANT APPLICATIONS Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society is a charitable organization dedicated to supporting the arts and preserving the heritage in our area. Each year the Society grants funds to community organizations and individuals for projects and programs that further those aims. The Society is now accepting applications for grants for the 2016 funding cycle. Applications are to be submitted by email to breithaupthome@gmail.com or by mail to Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society at 10 Caroline St E., Creemore, ON, L0M 1G0, no later than January 31, 2016. Application forms may be found at phahs.ca. A budget is required and supplementary materials may be submitted, in support of the application. It is important to note that it may not be possible to fund every request. All applications will be reviewed by the Society’s Board of Directors or a committee of that Board set up for that purpose.

We do not work for any political party. We do believe we need a change in Ottawa. The following is information we have collected and wish to share with Simcoe-Grey voters.

Norway (15th in oil) negotiated with oil and put a $ trillion $ in the bank to give Norwegians free health care and University. Mr. Harper (Canada 5th in oil) got us nothing. We still have debt. He can't negotiate with oil because oil owns his hide.

TPP trade agreement will be the thin edge of dairy and poultry quotas ending, and twenty thousand auto jobs given away for no good reason. We can't compete with offshore beef here in Canada, so how can Harper think TPP will help get us to world markets?

Clean Green NH3 fuel would save us half and help pollution and extreme weather (floods) yet can't get a reply to many registered mail sent to Mr. Harper. The consultants say Harper can't reply because he is too connected to Oil. Any caring government would have had this fuel in place for voters years ago.

Are you ready to vote? If you’re a Canadian citizen, 18 or older, you can vote in the federal election. Your voter information card tells you when and where to vote. If you didn’t receive your card, you can still register and vote at your polling place. To find out where to vote, and what ID to bring, visit elections.ca or call 1-800-463-6868 ( TTY 1-800-361-8935). Elections Canada has all the information you need to be ready to vote.

Harper government spends $150 million of taxpayer money on Conservative party “vanity TV ads” yet says it is not their job to fund hospitals and have no budget for such? Did they pay Gretsky his $600K attendance fee with taxpayer money? We don't like taxpayer money being used for Conservative ads.

Kellie Leitch tries to distance herself from Mr. Harper. Some other Tory MPs are admitting their voice can't be heard as long as Harper is PM. Why would I vote for someone who can't speak out for me? Kellie is a doctor, She took up class space to become a doctor. If she legally can still be a doctor, we believe it would be her highest and best use to use the skills we partly paid for and be a doctor.

When asked by registered mail if he attends Bilderberg, Mr. Harper will not reply. There are photos of Mr. Harper attending Bilderberg meetings. Scary stuff.

I trust Mike MacEachern and know his voice will be heard. We will be voting for Mr. MacEachern. Please join with us. Please vote Liberal or if you can't then at least please don't vote Conservative. A group of concerned Simcoe-Grey property owners. LeaveWorldBetter@gmail.com Docket/Dossier: 5735

Stiffer punishment needed for impaired driving (Continued from page 8) the driverâ€™s licence for life and impose stiffer fines. I am way too familiar with the burying of children and now in one case alone a mother has to bury her three children as well as her father, all because one selfish young man chose to drink and drive, seemingly with no regard for his life nor that of others (regarding Sept. 27 crash that killed

three Vaughan children). If you can afford to drink, you can afford to pay a taxi. Revoke the licences of these people please. Sorry for the rant folks but I can feel the familyâ€™s pain. George had just purchased a new Corvette and was sailing down the highway at a great speed. An officer spotted him and gave chase. Well George tried to outrun the office and

when the speed got to 150 mph he thought he had better stop. The officer asked what he was doing going so fast. George replied, â€œyou see officer my wife ran off with a policeman many years ago and I was afraid he was trying to bring her back.â€? Remember: Itâ€™s not the happy people who are thankful, itâ€™s the thankful people who are happy.
