Driver walks away from rollover by Trina Berlo A new fire truck was put to the test Sunday when it was used to fight a fire in Glen Huron and extricate a driver from a car near Dunedin. Julie Klukas was driving on 6/7 Sideroad Nottawasaga, travelling east from Flesherton toward County Road 9, Sunday afternoon when her car slipped on wet gravel and the car went over an electric fence and rolled several times, coming to a stop in a field, about 100 feet from the road. “Speed wasn’t a factor but I went to swerve for a pothole and there was lots of loose gravel. I lost control of the vehicle and fishtailed three times on the gravel before going over the fence and I flipped four times before coming to a stop,” said Klukas. She said she
remembers trying to keep her cool to avoid going into shock. Firefighter Brad Fekete said the car was laying on the driver’s side and Klukas was trapped inside. The passenger window was broken and Klukas was suspended on her side by her seatbelt. She was able to reach her cell phone, which was dangling by its charger and called 9-1-1. She waited for about 15 minutes for rescuers to arrive. Klukas said she thought she may be able to undo her seatbelt and get out but she is glad that she stayed put, because the car was very unstable and could have shifted if she moved. The new fire truck, stationed in Creemore, has built-in Jaws of Life and rescuers were able to get set up in less than five minutes, about half

the time it would normally take to get the equipment set up. Along with the crew from Clearview’s Singhampton fire station, they stabilized the vehicle before cutting the roof and folding it over to get to the driver, who was relatively unscathed, aside from a concussion, some bumps and bruises. Klukas said she is very lucky to be alive. Rescuers told her boyfriend that most people don’t walk away from an accident after flipping so many times. “Clearview fire services, I can’t thank them enough, they were wonderful and same with the paramedics,” said Klukas. “I am very grateful.” Later that day the new truck pumped water at its first fire in Glen Huron.

Clearview continues to seek input from residents on how they feel about ATVs using township roads. The Central Ontario ATV Club made the request of council on Jan. 25, shortly after Wasaga Beach opened its roadways to ATVs. The club is hoping the township will pass a bylaw to open the roads to enable ATVs to connect to other trails, get into urban areas to purchase fuel, visit restaurants and stores and find accommodation. At the time, council directed staff to gather public input and to prepare a comprehensive report outlining the routes, impacts and benefits of allowing ATV’s use of public roads. Proposed township ATV routes will be on display at town hall in Stayner from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 11. Clearview’s general manager of transportation and drainage Gerry LeMay said options range from not allowing ATVs, to opening all roads and limited access in between. The final decision will be made by council. The municipality has also been seeking input through an online survey, available at www.clearview.ca. The survey is open until June 30.
Mulmur task force talks economic development
After several months of research and community consultation, Mulmur’s economic development task force is inviting people to join an open dialogue session on three strategic options for economic development over the next 10-15 years. Options, including a rough estimate of a five-year budget, will be proposed by the task force and residents will have a chance to have their say. This dialogue will make a major contribution to the selection of a strategic option and to the recommendations that the task force will prepare for council. The session will be held at the Mulmur Township municipal office from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on June 18.

The Creemore Echo • Friday, June 10, 2016 •
Township asked to partner in Mad River flow restoration project by Trina Berlo The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) is asking Clearview council for financial support for its Mad River Flow Restoration Project to improve drainage and the overall health of the watershed. NVCA manager of stewardship services Fred Dobbs put the request to council May 30, explaining that the unsanctioned redirection of the Mad River is the long-term cause of a number of problems. The site of the Mad River breach is located at the NVCA’s Duckworth property in the south-east corner of Clearview, adjacent to the Second Line Sunnidale, north of Angus. The property was purchased by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), in partnership with NVCA, in the early 1990s but they didn’t realize that the original landowner had constructed unapproved drainage channels. The Mad River used to flow under a bridge on the Second Line but is being diverted to a separate culvert on McKinnon Road, built to accommodate drainage of farm fields. “In this case the Mad River actually eroded sideways to the east into this unsanctioned drainage network and

North of the Second Line bridge the flow is so low that the river is not flushing sediment from its bed and vegetation is starting to grow, impacting Northern Pike fish habitat
and a migratory route for Rainbow Trout and Chinook Salmon heading to the Creemore area. A canoe route managed by the NCC and the NVCA is also at risk of being lost. Perhaps more important from a municipal standpoint, said Dobbs, the Second Line drain is now receiving a large flow from the Mad River, eroding the McKinnon Road culvert and flooding the roads in the area. A recent study also showed the situation is impacting water quality in the

Nottawasaga River. The NVCA is proposing to work with an expert to plug two breach sites to reestablish the healthy flow of the Mad River. It is estimated the project will cost $70,000. The NVCA has been allowed to redirect $45,000 in federal funding for the project, the NCC is pitching in $5,000 and the Township of Clearview is being asked to contribute the balance of $20,000. Connie Leishman, Clearview’s NVCA council rep, said flooding is an issue on McKinnon Road and residents in the area have voiced concerns about being cut off by high water. “In the long run the $20,000 would be saved by [fixing] the breaches in the river, because it won’t wash out the road and you know how much roads cost,” she said. Dobbs said they hope to begin construction of earthen plugs at both breaches by late summer. “I was ecstatic when I heard you were working on this,” said Councillor Deborah Bronée, adding that standing water in the area has become a problem. Council directed staff to see if the funds are available. They hope to have an answer by June 13.
Survey says: Clearview proceeds with implementing Stayner bus by Trina Berlo Clearview Township is proceeding with establishing a transit system in Stayner after receiving results from a recent survey. Council voted May 16 to direct staff to negotiate with transit suppliers and come back to council with a contract that includes routes, fares, times of operation and stop locations. When gathering input, staff focused efforts in Stayner, distributing hard copies of the survey to retirement residences, nursing homes, Stayner Collegiate Institute, the Stayner Arena,
the Stayner branch of the library and Reinhart Foods. They also advertised a link to the online survey. In total, 315 surveys were completed (233 online and 85 hard copies). CAO Steve Sage said the responses were within the expected range. “I do think there are other users out there who would benefit from the program,” said Sage. The survey found 83 per cent said they would use the Clearview public transit system, even if only occasionally, and 92 per cent said they are in favour of establishing a transit
system even if they would not use it. Sage recommended moving forward with a six-month trial and then staff would report back to council on the usage. The first phase of the transit plan will only service the Stayner area with connections to Wasaga Beach. In this year’s budget, council approved $82,500 for a six-month bus service, which would be offset by an estimated $12,375 in ticket revenue. One accessible bus would stop at the Real Canadian Superstore in Wasaga Beach, allowing riders to connect to the
Wasaga Beach and Collingwood transit links, and at the roundabout parking lot at Highway 26. According to the survey, about 65 per cent said they would use the bus between one and three times per week. About 45 per cent said they would be willing to walk 2-3 blocks to the bus stop, 25 per cent said they would be willing to walk one block or less and just over five per cent said they would require pick-up at their door. The survey also addressed specific questions about times of use, preferred routes and bus stops.

The way we were
During this year’s subscription drive, we are putting an emphasis on welcoming new subscribers. Like other newspapers, The Creemore Echo continues to lose revenue from traditional forms of advertising as the big companies transition away from print advertising. So, it is more important than ever that we build our subscription base. It may seem counterintuitive for those of you who already receive the newspaper to pay for something that comes free of charge to your mailbox each week. The truth is we are facing rising costs from Canada Post and subscriptions help cover the cost of distributing the newspapers to mailboxes. The Creemore Echo is an important part of life in this community and we want to make special mention of the people who keep our doors open. Here are this week’s champions, boosters and new subscribers. And, a special thank you to everyone who are long-time subscribers. We couldn’t survive without you. Champions: Gerry Blackburn Judy Simmonds Ron and Christine March Ron and Una Millman Paul and Marg Bridgman Barbara and Hilton Tudhope Ken Jewett Donald and Carolyn Smith Fred and Jacqueline Minduik Peter and Rita Gordon

Humans are the biggest threat to birds
An annual subscription costs $49 per year, which includes an early bird electronic version every Thursday evening. A booster, with a contribution of $75 per year, is a keen promoter of community and the newspaper, someone who wants to give a little extra boost of encouragement. A champion, with a contribution of $100 or more, is someone who champions our mission to share the community’s stories, celebrate its accomplishments and promote local business. Fred and Trina will be at the Creemore Farmers’ Market on June 11, the last day of our subscription drive, accepting subscriptions and selling Creemore Echo T-shirts. Hope to see you there!

Editor: I was just talking with my partner about how misinformation works by constant repetition, and then I see your headline, “Cats are the biggest threat to birds”. The research behind this claim is bogus and has been refuted many times. And yet it still gets repeated, and now even makes its way into government reports. In his letter to the editor, Ray Jackson did not name his source for the “previously researched facts for Canada”, but I am willing to bet that this source is part of the same crazy chain of misinformation. It is obvious that humans are the biggest threat to birds. All of the “previously researched facts” related to us about bird deaths, from wind turbines to power lines, collisions with buildings and vehicles, etc.,
these are all things that humans are responsible for, including companion animals like cats. Humans are the biggest threat to birds. If we want more birds, all we have to do is try and mitigate the damages from human threats and help them out with habitat, food, nesting, etc. Look at our wild turkey population now. They were all killed off, have just recently been re-introduced, and now the local turkey population is thriving. Humans are the biggest threat to birds. Let’s be adults and accept our shared responsibility and work on positive plans and actions for growing our bird populations… and stop acting like children by blaming cats! Kim Kozzi, Mulmur.

declared that women voting “would be a good thing for the country both socially and morally.” Women’s final argument was that they were holding the country together during the Great War, which had started in 1914. They did the heavy farm work while their sons and husbands were away fighting. They held manufacturing jobs, knit socks and raised thousands of dollars for the war effort. In Ontario they received the right to vote in 1916 and federally in 1918. The following letter to the editor was written by Alice Webster, of the Bracebridge Gazette. Alice Webster, as many of you know, was my grandmother. She moved from Bracebridge area to Creemore in 1902 when she married my grandfather. She always took her hometown paper to keep up with the news. “Dear Editor: “I read with much interest the report of Mrs. G.A. Steel’s excellent address on ‘The Dawn of a New Era,’ also the effusion it called forth from W.E. Massey. He tries to take it on himself to answer for busy mothers of small children that they don’t want to vote, haven’t time, in fact. “Being in that class, permit me to speak for myself, and in doing so I assure you that I speak for the majority of women of my acquaintance, old and young, when I say most emphatically that we DO want to vote and we WILL vote in the near future and the granting
of that right will be no favour but only justice long delayed. “When that time comes I have no fear that men will be less chivalrous to us, because it is only the unchivalrous ones who are opposing it now. The Woman Franchise question causes no friction in my home for my husband regards the present status of women being listed as aliens, idiots and criminals as unfit to vote as a relic of barbarism and he will rejoice with us when Canada rises above it. “ʻAre not all the up-to-date inventions the result of man’s brainpower?ʼ asks Mr. Massey. No, most decidedly not. For many years I have collected clippings for scrapbooks on topics including what has been accomplished by women and there is far too much of it to be included in this letter. He refers somewhat indirectly the time honoured gag about ‘who will care for the babies when the mothers go out to vote?’ It takes only one hand to mark a ballot and any woman can hold a baby with the other while she is doing it. We have learned to do far more difficult things than that and mind the baby at the same time. “Mr. Massey most fittingly supports his contentions with quotations from writers who recorded their attitude to our sex two thousand year ago. That is where he belongs; there is no place for him in the 20th century among the men and women who are progressive enough to profit by the wisdom slowly gathered in the passing centuries.”

Crews made sure fire didn't spread to mill (Continued from page 1) from all stations were called to the intersection of Station Street and Concession 8 where a house was on fire. Deputy Fire Chief Roree Payment said neighbours smelled smoke and
then noticed flames, and called 9-1-1. It was believed no one was home at the time of the fire, which turned out to be the case, said Payment. The new fire truck was initiated to pump water from the mill pond to fight
the fire. There were strong winds that night and the house is very close to Hamilton Brothers Building and Farm Supplies so firefighters set up to protect exposures. “We made sure to put hose lines between the house and the mill, which seemed to work,” said Payment. The house is a total loss, estimated at $250,000 damage. The fire department is investigating but the fire is not considered suspicious. The new fire truck, Squad 45, replaces a 26-year-old pumper housed at Station 4. Included in the 2016 budget at $390,000, it was custom built
with the needs of the station and the entire township in mind. In addition to the new built in Jaws of Life, it has a 10-foot rotating extension light on the roof, automatic tire chains for steep climbs in the winter, noisecancelling headsets including a wireless set for the driver, all to improve safety and communication. The truck has a device that can detect four different gases and carries special gear to rescue firefighters who are trapped, injured or lost. It can carry 818 gallons of water and has an added hose in the front for quick responses to vehicle fires and other incidents.

New Lowell Knights remain undefeated by Alex Hargrave The defending North Dufferin Baseball League champion New Lowell Knights continue to roll right along and remain undefeated after eight games played this season. After winning five games in the month of May, the team has maintained its strength of getting timely hits behind strong pitching performances to win their three games played this month. Brandon Norrie struck out nine Aurora Jays batters Sunday before the game was called in the sixth inning to help the Knights win 4-0. The win was New Lowell’s second consecutive game without allowing a run. Friday night the Lisle Astros were pummeled 8-0 at their home park by the Knights. This time, hurlers Steve Baldry and Todd Gowan combined for a fourhitter while the batters manufactured a run in each inning except the second and seventh. In the June 2 game, Mansfield Cubs remained close and only trailed 3-2 after three innings but in the fourth New Lowell broke the game wide open scoring four. Allan Brownridge went the distance in getting the win over Devon Caldwell. The hamlet of New Lowell houses
two teams, the other being the Clearview Orioles. Although the Knights are currently the league’s dominant team, the Orioles are pretty damn good. In June, the ball club won their three games played and are perched in fourth place in the 14-team league with a 6-3 record. The Orioles beat up the Creemore Braves 8-1 Sunday by banging nine hits off veteran pitcher Matt Baldry and another off Marc Dupuis, who pitched the seventh and last inning. Charlie Coates picked up the win for the Orioles in a steady performance. Thursday, June 2, the Orioles played the second place Midland Indians and thanks to a timely double by Stephen Warden, drove in Tristan Cabral to break a 1-1 tie. Reliever Derek Scharnhorst held the Indians off to reward teammate Derek Worrod the victory for his fiveinning three-hit pitching performance. June 1, Orioles’ Cory Line snatched a win away from opposing Ivy pitcher Chad Watters. Clearview won the game 3-1 with Watters giving up six hits compared to Line’s five. Ivy sits one point ahead of the Orioles with a 6-2-1 record. Considering
Clearview is in a fight for second place with Midland and Ivy, those wins were big wins! Creemore Barons have played two games this month winning one and losing the other. Sunday, the Barons slugged their way to an 11-4 victory with four different players pounding the ball out of the park. Sid Beelen, Adam VanderHeyden, Jamie Gillespie and Bryce Watson hit the home runs. June 1, Bolton Dodgers beat the Barons 9-2 but the game was far closer than the score indicates. The game was actually tied until the fifth inning when the Dodgers put it all together scoring seven in that inning. The Barons team is competitive. Their record is 3-5. The good news for the 2-7-1 Creemore Braves is that they won their second game of the year Saturday, 5-1, over the league’s newest entry, the Alliston Athletics. Ethan Henry earned the win striking out 13 batters and giving up six hits. Tom Gateman, Glenn Patterson and Andrew Blakey hit doubles for the Braves. Their other June game was the 8-1 loss to Clearview.
Theatre Orangeville gets lighting grant The Ontario Trillium Foundation has given Theatre Orangeville a $102,500 grant for a lighting upgrade at the Town of Orangeville Opera House. “With this generous grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Theatre Orangeville audiences and our community at large will benefit from improvements to the lighting system in the Opera House,â€? said Sylvia Jones, MPP Dufferin-Caledon. “The Opera House is not only home to Theatre Orangeville, it is a well-used and valued asset that provides a stage for displaying our community’s art, culture and heritage.â€? The lighting system has not been updated since Theatre Orangeville opened in 1994 and many were purchased used. The theatre will now have a new console board, new dimmers, and 14 new energy efficient LED lights. These much needed upgrades will help Theatre Orangeville to produce the most technically advanced productions to ever be seen at the Opera House. This grant will also benefit every user group who rents the Opera House, ensuring that we offer our community an enhanced performance experience, and the Town an even more valuable community asset. Â
