MPP's motion to stop wind turbines defeated by Trina Berlo In an ongoing fight to halt the installation of wind turbines near the Collingwood Regional Airport, MPP Jim Wilson brought a private member’s motion before the Legislature April 21. Wilson’s resolution – that the government put an immediate and permanent stop to the wpd wind turbine project, in the name of pilot safety and public safety, as well as protecting economic development and jobs – was defeated 43-15. “The Premiere herself, which is very unusual, voted against my resolution to stop the project. It was private members’ time, which is on Thursday afternoons and has been for decades, and it’s very, very rare that the leader of a party would come in and vote against you. There’s something very fishy about it all,” Wilson told The Echo, adding the Liberals voted as a block instead of members having a free vote. About 60 people from the area,

A delegation of about 60 people from Clearview travelled to Queen's Park April 21 to support MPP Jim Wilson's effort to withdraw approval of the wpd wind turbine project. many travelling by bus, made the trip to Queen’s Park to support the effort. Wilson said, during debate and at
a press conference held beforehand with Clearview Aerodrome owner and Clearview Township Councillor
Kevin Elwood and Chuck Magwood, representing Preserve Clearview, he tried to paint a picture of the scale of the turbines. He said at 500 feet tall, there’s nothing like it in Canada. “These are bigger than any turbine you’ve ever seen,” said Wilson. “To sandwich them between two airports is just criminal.” “It’s not a matter of if there’s going to be a tragic accident and probably a death. It’s a matter of when,” he said. The Elwoods and Preserve Clearview are among those appealing the provincial government’s approval of the eight-turbine project, along with John Wiggins and the municipalities of Clearview, Collingwood and Simcoe County. “It’s ludicrous. Simply put, it’s the strangest plan I’ve heard in my more than 25 years as an MPP,” said Wilson at the press conference. He said planes landing and taking off at the airport will (See “Wind” on page 5)
McArthur honoured for 60 years on the ice by Trina Berlo Milton McArthur was presented two certificates this month in recognition of his dedication to the sport of curling. McArthur was honoured for 60 years with the Creemore Curling Club at the year-end banquet on April 8 and was presented a recognition award from the Canadian Curling Association for dedication and outstanding service to the sport of curling, at his Creemore home on April 26. McArthur joined the Creemore Curling Club in 1955 but he had been curling already for a few years in Collingwood with the Nottawasaga Junior Farmers. Throughout the years he curled in bonspiels as a municipal council member, with the Ontario Simmental Organization and the
Ontario Belgian Horse Association. McArthur said he is thinking that he may now be retiring from curling but isn’t quite sure what he will decide come fall. He said he has loved the sport, both the play and the social aspect. “I have met a lot of different people over the years,” said McArthur. Pictured: Creemore Curling Club president Marilyn Steed presents a recognition award from the Canadian Curling Association to Milton McArthur and earlier this month she presented him with a certificate recognizing 60 years membership with the club at the year-end banquet.

Backyard chickens made legal Clearview council has approved a zoning bylaw amendment and licensing bylaw to allow for backyard chickens. “Staff has reviewed the comments submitted by the public and have decided to keep the limit of chickens to four hens. Staff believe this is an acceptable number of hens and corresponds with
surrounding municipalities. Changes have been made to the draft by-law to allow Council to grant a site specific exemption, to permit more than four hens on a case-by-case basis,” reported senior bylaw enforcement officer Joe Paddock on April 25. A permit fee has been set at $30.
by Trina Berlo Mulmur Township is among area municipalities that could take a hit in tax revenue if proposed additions to the Niagara Escarpment Plan Area are approved. A 2015 Niagara Escarpment Plan Review proposes almost doubling the amount of Mulmur land, adding 5,656 hectares to the existing 6,988 hectares. Lands designated natural area within the plan could qualify for a 100 per cent property tax exemption for land that has important natural heritage features under the Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program. “The tax implication is going to be dreadful for Mulmur. If it goes through with all these designations we could lose up to $800,000 in taxes [annually] here in Mulmur,” said Mayor Paul Mills. The proposal is part of a Coordinated Land Use Planning Review, led by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, that also includes the Growth Plan of the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and the Greenbelt Plan. “Between the Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC) and the Green Belt they have 1.2 million acres in that area and the province’s long-term goal is to take another million acres into that catchment area, which is scary,” said Mills. “They did the mapping when Dufferin County didn’t even have a representative on the NEC board.” Mulmur councillor Janet Horner is now the NEC representative for Dufferin County. She said the addition of one million acres stems from a provincial mandate to almost double Ontario’s green belt, by including natural urban features, watersheds and expand Niagara Escarpment lands, based on revised criteria. Mulmur is one of the areas most
impacted but hardest hit is Grey County with 32,423 hectares of proposed additional lands including 21,323 hectares in Meaford alone, doubling the NEC lands there. Clearview is the only municipality impacted in Simcoe County, with 4,312 hectares proposed to be added, doubling its NEC lands. In a first round of public consultation, Horner said, many stakeholders made submissions and all the comments have gone into the mix. The final report of the Advisory Panel for the Coordinated Review was released in December. Four ministries in total are involved in the review and the implementation of the recommendations. “We are in this limbo stage where everything has been put into this big black hole and we are waiting to see what those ministries feel are the right approaches to the review of the four plans,” said Horner. She and Mills say the municipality already has protection in place for ecologically sensitive lands. “It’s just going to be duplication because we have our Official Plan and our bylaws and it protects all of this land,” said Mills. “In all honesty, we like to protect our lands as much as anybody does so we are not against the protection of lands,” said Horner. “We believe in climate change mitigation and trying to keep our water clean. We believe in all of that and we practice it here in Mulmur but what happens when you draw a line on a map and start including new lands in a system that penalizes a township for providing those ecological goods and services? It’s a significant hit to the income of the township when it comes to providing services to the citizens, in keeping the roads clear, making sure we have infrastructure and water plants, recreation facilities if we have a (See “Tax” on page 5)

The way we were
Volunteers set up to succeed, with clear expectations Clearview Township council continued its discussion about committees at a special meeting April 27 and what they decided should leave volunteers, council and staff with some much needed clarity. Volunteerism has been a hot topic at council of late. Clearview Township has many committees that are made up of council members and volunteers in varying ratios but all of those committees, regardless of their mandate, will have to follow certain procedures if they wish to enjoy the benefits of being affiliated with the township. Council is currently working to define the roles, obligations and expectations of the committees so they can be clearly conveyed to the members in a consistent manner. At the end of this review process, everyone should know where they stand. New laws are making it so that the municipality must properly post agendas, hold open meetings in public places, file financials and publish minutes for all of its committees. This is an important part of being open and transparent. New laws also require that volunteers take accessibility training. Asking people to meet certain requirements before they can volunteer is common practice. Before people are allowed to volunteer at a school, for a sports team or service club, they would be asked to undergo a criminal record check, partake in a workshop or take sensitivity training. As long as the municipality can clearly state what it is they require of volunteers, we are sure most people won’t mind doing it. Many people who work with the public would appreciate some extra training. In order to take advantage of insurance protection, be able to issue tax receipts and work on township property volunteers will be required to follow procedures. In terms of best practices, it all makes sense. Council may have gone into this review thinking there were too many volunteer committee members to manage (a problem many municipalities would envy) and that the best way was to handle it was to reduce and consolidate committees but, with a little encouragement from CAO Steve Sage, they decided to shift the focus away from eliminating committees and instead come up with a consistent approach to bringing them into compliance. Sage said if council and staff had been consistent in applying the rules, they wouldn’t be having this conversation now. The review is still a work-in-progress but we are hearing that council and staff are taking some of the responsibility for the bumps on the road to compliance and now it is time for the volunteers to help accommodate these changes. There is still work to be done but council is ultimately saying it will allow Clearview’s committees to go ahead with their good work as long as they follow a few, and soon-to-be crystal clear, rules.

Tree Society hosts meet-and-greet by Thom Paterson Most of our village trees were planted with care many years ago by people who wanted to see Creemore grow to become the “green and pleasant place” that it is. The trees and the people who planted them are part of our cultural heritage. Today, the trees are looked after by a small but dedicated core of volunteers. As it happens, we often take for granted that trees will always be part of our landscape, however, age, pests, wind and ice take their toll on our green canopy. The Tree Society of Creemore advises the township where best to add new trees and to remove those past their service life. For over 25 years, the Society has promoted the beautification of Creemore’s tree-lined streets and public lands. They provide advice from experienced arbourists, educate the public on the environmental and social benefits of a healthy tree stock, help preserve our natural environment, and raise the necessary funds entirely through donations and in-memoriam gifts. One of the Society’s major fundraisers is its upcoming Silent Auction/Bargain Sale at the Station on the Green, on Saturday, May 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The Society is currently accepting new and lightly used household articles in good condition. Once again, the public is invited to spend an interesting and entertaining evening to appreciate the
work being done to maintain and plant trees as a vital part of Creemore’s natural habitat. This year’s event, the Fifth Annual Meet and Greet, will be held on Friday, May 6, at the Station on the Green, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. It’s an evening that the Tree Society sets aside each year to say thank you to members for their support, to introduce guests and new members to the work of the Society and to recognize the volunteers for their dedication. It’s an informative, casual and fun evening. The evening will feature a presentation by Graeme Davis, Simcoe County Forester, on Managing a “Working” Forest. Graeme will also highlight what can be done to mitigate the insect danger to our trees from the Emerald Ash Borer. You will have a chance to get answers to questions you may have about the trees in your neighbourhood. All are welcomed. Member’s admission is free. Guest admission is $10. Those wishing to renew their membership or become a member can do so at the door for a $10 individual/$20 family annual fee. Refreshments will be served, including a selection of local beer, wine and cider. Live music interludes will be provided by David Wipper. So please plan to join us.

Wind turbine locations are killers: Elwood (Continued from page 1) be just seconds from colliding with these structures. The appellants are aiming to prove the wind turbines will cause serious harm to human health. Elwood, a pilot and owner of Clearview Aerodrome, to the south of Collingwood Regional Airport, said the turbines lie well within the operational airspace of both aerodromes. “They will be a serious safety hazard to both aerodromes. The province has ignored the information and they have also ignored third-party consulting reports that were provided during the approval process that clearly outline the risk and the high potential hazard for a turbine-aircraft collision,” said Elwood. He said the federal government has adopted safety standards for the operation of airports and aerodromes to ensure pilot safety through the safe locating of tall structures and obstacles within the operational airspace but the Ontario Green Energy Act does not provide setbacks when siting wind turbines in close proximity to such facilities, causing a serious aviation hazard. Turbulence from the turbine and poor visibility due to weather off
the bay are among factors, he said. “Ontario’s Green Energy Act does not address the gap in the legislation between the province of Ontario and the federal government. The province was made well aware when drafting the Green Energy Act, by the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association, that they should address this gap in legislation.” He asked, if the province and the members of the legislature want to have blood on their hands from the first airplane-turbine crash in Canada? “These eight wind turbine locations are killers, there is no doubt in my mind,” said Elwood. Magwood, speaking for Preserve Clearview, spoke to the economic impact, the visual stain the wind turbines would create and the affect on tourism, but the appeal process does not allow for those arguments. “What is our chance of succeeding in that kind of environment and furthermore the basis for the appeal is limited only to human harm and animal life. It’s a narrow focus. We are going to fight that fight to the bitter end but the odds are stacked hugely against us,” said Magwood. “We are bringing in and the other
Tax loss would be made up by other Mulmur residents (Continued from page 3) significant hit to our bottom line.” The issue was brought to council’s attention by staff and Mulmur has been talking with neighbouring municipalities that are affected. Horner said they have been trying to provide the NEC with alternative designations for consideration to lessen the tax impact. “If this happens there are some folks who are going to get a real big tax break but for the rest of us outside
the red line that they want to take over, it could potentially mean a $400 per year increase in everybody else’s,” said Horner. “Our taxes are significant enough and no one wants to see a $400 hit on their taxes and that’s the thing, I don’t think the commission fully grasped the economic impact that such a move would make on a municipality.” Mulmur will have a chance to comment during a 90-day consultation process once the review of the advisory panel’s report is complete

appellants are bringing in the best experts that we can find from all over the world. We’re going for it because human health is the focus and safety is human health so hopefully that board can see the sanity of this and feel that they are compelled to protect the safety of the community with respect to that hearing… If we fail with that, the only thing left, short of sabotage, is judicial revue which would be focused on a bunch of other issues that deal with this file independent of the safety issue.” The appeal was launched after the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change approved the wpd project, subject to prescriptive conditions designed to ensure the safety of pilots. The approval was issued the day before a judicial process initiated by wpd to force a decision on the project. Clearview Township and Collingwood were slated to argue that the project would have a negative economic impact on the airport. After the Queen’s Park vote on April 21, wpd spokesperson Kevin Surette said, “Aviation safety will not be affected in the Collingwood area.” As required by the approval, wpd has consulted with their own expert, Transport Canada and NAV Canada,

the project meets regulations and standards that apply to the Collingwood Regional Airport. “NAV Canada has indicated that limiting circling to the north of the airport will mitigate the impact to the instrument flight approaches; this is done at other airports in Canada and around the world.” Opponents of the wind turbine development say that is where the gap lies; because the aerodromes are not certified airports, they are not subject to oversight from the national bodies. The group fighting the turbine development at the Environment and Land Tribunals Ontario, which continues on May 16, has launched a petition and a campaign to help cover costs. Visit Change.org/p/fund-fightthe-collingwood-airport-turbines. A TD bank account has been set up under the name “Fight The Turbines” to accept donations.

Mysteries revealed at quilters' dessert tea by Trina Berlo Quilts are more than something to keep out the cold. They create community, pay homage to our heritage and even tell stories. Back in the day, quilts were made, typically by women, as a way of using up scraps of fabric for much needed bedding to keep people warm in those old drafty houses heated by wood. Today, quilting has become a hobby and an art form and many of the materials incorporated into modern day creations is new but people do still incorporate old and sometimes meaningful scraps from their “stash”, a quilter’s hoard of fabric. Maureen McLeod is currently making a flannel quilt for her new great nephew, born this week, and she is incorporating leftover fabric she used to make pyjamas for her other relatives over the past few decades. McLeod is the guest speaker at the upcoming Mad and Noisy Quilters 15th Annual Dessert Tea on Wednesday, May 11. She has made more than 50 quilts since she marched down to the sewing shop and bought a sewing machine on layaway for $10 per month the day she got her first paycheque after graduating from nursing school. Marilyn Steed, who runs the quilting group, was in the same graduating class at nursing school and she made a panel quilt commemorating the RVH class of 1962, which will be among those on display at the Dessert Tea. The event is a show-and-tell for people to see the work that has been done by the group over the past year. The group was founded by Linda Cockton almost 20 years ago. Cockton ran the group for 15 years and Steed has been the organizer for the past four. This

Mad and Noisy Quilters members Marilyn Steed and Maureen McLeod will be showing quilts at the 15th annual dessert tea at Creemore Legion on May 11. past year, Cockton has been very ill and has been in hospital in Toronto so the group made quilts for each of her two daughters, in Cockton’s favourite colour – lavender. It is common for quilters to make gifts of quilts for family members and for charity, especially for people who are ill. About 40 members meet monthly, this year,
concentrating their efforts on a mystery quilt. Each member was given the pattern but each individual’s colour choice made for a very different result. The mystery quilts will be among the creations on display at the quilters’ event held at the Creemore Legion May 11 beginning at 7 p.m. Admission costs $5.

Tipling Stage Company presents Murder Mistaken Tipling Stage Company in Shelburne presents Murder Mistaken in May. Edward Bare is attractive, charming and likeable, but a ruthlessly ambitious young man married to a rich, doting wife many years his senior. When he mistakenly thinks she is about to change her will he regretfully hastens her end. Unfortunately he finds himself with less than he had when she was alive but quickly finds himself a wealthy widow. To his increasing frustration, this one’s not so easy to part from her money, so that's when another rich woman arrives on the scene, it may be time to think about a change of plan... The play was written by Janet Green and was adapted for both film and television following its London West End opening in 1952. Witty, and often comedic, dialogue keeps the audience involved in the plot as Edward progresses through his engaging young husband persona, first with elderly Monica, then with ‘healthy’ Freda, to a dramatic change in character when
acquisition of the money really looks to be slipping out of his hands... Murder Mistaken is directed by Bev Nichols and has a cast of well known Tipling Stage Company and Dundalk Little Theatre actors headed by Josh Oatman as Edward Bare. There’s more information on the Tipling Stage Company website at www.tiplingstagecompany.com. Tickets can be purchased in Shelburne at Holmes Appliances and Music Shop, Caravaggio’s IDA, at the Shelburne Town Hall and online via the website.
