The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) said July 7, postal workers have “politely declined” bringing negotiations with Canada Post management to binding arbitration, saying it’s a matter of principle. “We appreciate the offer to help, but paying women equally for work of equal value is the law of the land; it’s not something that can be awarded or withheld by an arbitrator,” CUPW national president Mike Palecek. The union is demanding that Canada Post create an hourly wage for rural and suburban mail carriers, 70 per cent of (See “Canada” on page 3)
Clearview plans Gowan Park pavilion replacement Clearview applies for funds to help pay for pavilion, washroom by Trina Berlo The municipality has applied for grant money to help pay for the replacement of the pavilion at Gowan Memorial Park. “The municipality approved the 2016 budget including the replacement of the Gowan Park pavilion. The current facility is in a poor state of repair and is in need of replacement,” reported Clearview Township’s director of community services Mara Burton to council on June 27. The township’s Recreation and Culture Committee last month recommended the pavilion have one shared washroom instead of separate ones for men and women to reduce costs and that it be located next to the snack bar. Committee also suggested that the pavilion be open on three sides
facing the street. The 2016 budget was approved including $90,000 for the Gowan Park pavilion but accessible washrooms were not considered when the budget of $90,000 was set for this facility. “The washrooms may not have been envisioned in the original budget, however, the existing washrooms would be subject to upgrade for accessibility at some point. Further, there will be an economy of scale to include this work as part of the pavilion construction with a future cost savings as the old washrooms will no longer be needed and can be converted for storage,” reported Burton adding, “Given that the cost of adding washrooms was not budgeted, if we do not obtain the grant, it is proposed to put the project off to 2017 in order to add money to the budget these improvements.” The grant application was due June 24, three days before council approved the application. Burton said the opportunity to come before council prior to this date was not possible so

around the pavilion and the storage. The replacement pavilion, (75 by 25 feet in size) would be oriented perpendicular to the existing pavilion.

Canada Post extends lockout deadline to Monday (Continued from page 1) whom are women and currently earn on average almost 30 per cent less than their mostly male counterparts in the larger urban unit. On July 6, as part of a looming Canada Post lockout or strike, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour MaryAnn Mihychuk asked Canada Post and CUPW (urban and RSMC) to submit to binding arbitration to resolve the current impasse at negotiations. Canada Post agreed to voluntarily submit to binding arbitration as an opportunity for both parties to reach an acceptable resolution but CUPW has declined the offer. “While negotiated settlements are always the preferred option, it has become clear that after seven months of negotiations, the parties remain far apart on key issues at the bargaining table. The uncertainty caused by the prolonged negotiations is having a severe impact on the business, our employees and our customers,” said Canada Post in a media release announcing it would extend the 72-hour notice period to Monday at 12:01 a.m.
“A quick resolution is in the best interest of our employees, our customers and the long-term future of the postal system.” Canada Post says the uncertainty caused by the prolonged negotiations and the union’s strike mandate is having a negative and escalating impact on the postal service. Customers are already looking to avoid the risk of a work disruption. Nearly all of Canada Post’s largest e-commerce customers have already transferred delivery service to other carriers, resulting in a volume decline of at least 75 per cent. The number of parcels arriving at the largest plants has declined and often there are not enough parcels to last an entire processing shift, says Canada Post. Letter mail is down in many facilities by as much as 50 per cent and over the weekend, commercial customers deposited half the mail they usually deposit. The Corporation must now respond to the rapidly deteriorating volumes and the financial impact to the business, using the means provided in the Canada
Labour Code. As of Friday, July 8, the terms and conditions of the current collective agreements will no longer apply. Under the new terms and conditions, employees will continue to receive their regular pay and some benefits such as applicable prescription drug coverage. Other items will be cancelled in line with the statutory minimum conditions established under the Canada Labour Code. The Corporation will also have the flexibility to adjust staffing according to the amount of work required. On July 4, Canada Post informed the union that the offers the Corporation presented on June 25 are to be considered final, as they represent a fair and reasonable framework for settlements. The company also informed the union that the union’s more than $1 billion in demands were unaffordable and therefore rejected. “We knew this was their game all along. They are sabotaging the public review of the post office,” said Palecek. “They refused to negotiate fairly with us and now they're locking the doors and will try to starve us into submission.”

The union says it has been attempting to negotiate pay equity for its femaledominated workforce of rural carriers and stave off the profitable Crown Corporation’s demands for massive rollbacks. Canada Post has tabled just one offer since negotiations began and is now shutting down Canadians’ postal service across the country. “This is brought to you by the men who wanted to take away home delivery,” said Palecek. “They wanted us to sell out the next generation of Canadian postal workers for a quick deal, but we stood firm. Now they’re going to hold the public hostage until they get what they want.” Canada Post locked postal workers out in 2011 until the Conservatives forced them back to work with legislation that has since been ruled unconstitutional. “We will not be bullied by a corporation that is supposed to be providing people with public service, that is raking in millions in profits every year, and that is willfully and needlessly waging war upon tens of thousands of workers and their families,” said Palecek.
New cookbook features local contributors Peter Neal of the Neal Brothers foods will be at the Creemore Farmers’ Market this Saturday promoting a new cookbook, which feature recipes from two local contributors. Goodness Recipes and Stories by Peter and Chris Neal features a recipe for caramel apple butter rugelach from Mad Maple Country Inn owner Miriam Streiman and The New
Farm’s Gillian Flies contributed recipes for maple glazed carrots, sautéed beet greens and roasted beets. The award-winning book celebrates 37 “good food fighters” from across Canada – chefs, entrepreneurs, growers, and food activists who believe that good, healthy food should be accessible to all. Each of their stories underlines the simple truth: food has

the power to enrich lives and build strong communities. From supporting sustainability to championing access, outreach, and education, these individuals serve up tablefuls of goodness every day – and in this cookbook they serve up some of their favourite recipes, too. Well-known chefs such as Lora Kirk, Brad Long, Jamie Kennedy, and Vikram Vij, entrepreneurs such as Elana Rosenfeld from Kicking Horse Coffee and Mike Fata from Manitoba Hemp Harvest, food activists such as Nick Saul, Lil MacPherson, and Sarah Harmer, community food centre champions such as Kim Fox and Paul Taylor, and growers such as
Michael Abelman of Fields of Plenty explain why good food matters and what community means to them as well as share personal recipes that are perfect for enjoying with family and friends. Highlights include salmon rillettes, quinoa chicken salad, wild leek and morel quiche, dungeness crab tacos, spicy pork noodles, perogies with caramelized onion, braised beef shank and celery and ginger stout cake with orange meringue and coffee caramel. Neal will be signing books and serving samples at the market Saturday, July 9 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event is hosted by Creemore 100 Mile Store.

THE WAY WE WERE
Canada Post still relevant to small businesses People may no longer rely on Canada Post to deliver their daily correspondence but it naïve to think that the Crown Corporation has become irrelevant. Many individuals and small businesses rely on the service, from the most vulnerable who receive social services, to the most dependent businesses that use it to ship their product. The Creemore Echo falls into the latter category. We use Canada Post to deliver this newspaper every Friday, along with messages from our advertisers. Canada Post, like newspapers, is a victim of the digital age. It has adapted by developing the business of delivering online shopping packages contributing to a $44-million profit before tax in the first quarter of 2016, compared to a profit before tax of $24 million in the same period the year before. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers, both rural and urban, have voted overwhelmingly to protect pensions and to improve wages for rural carriers. So even though the possibility of not getting our newspaper into our readers’ mailboxes scares the pants off of us, we fully support the mail carriers in their effort to make sure they have good pay now and a stable retirement. Too common is it for companies, Crown Corporations or not, to move from full-time to contract employment, reduce wages and change the terms of pensions. Canada Post says it cannot afford to concede to the union’s demands, so compromise is needed and always expected at the bargaining table. On Wednesday, we learned Canada Post agreed to voluntarily submit to binding arbitration as an opportunity for both parties to reach an acceptable resolution at the urging of the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour. But the union has said no thank you. We hope this labour dispute can be resolved fairly. There has been much uncertainty here is The Echo office this week. We have been wringing our hands with worry wondering how to manage if there is a strike, especially a prolonged strike. For us, like other small businesses, there is no other way that makes any fiscal sense to get the newspaper door-to-door. If the situation goes sour next week and there is a lockout or a strike, please know that you can sign up for a free e-mail subscription for the duration of the service disruption and that we will be putting extra newspapers at local vendors in Creemore, Stayner, New Lowell and Nottawa. Sign up for an e-mail subscription at www.creemore.com. As we go to press Thursday we expect that mail carriers will still be on the job Friday but the labour dispute is evolving quickly and with absolutely no communication from Canada Post directly to us as the customer.

Roads are for cars, not hikers Editor: Humans never cease to amaze and mystify me. I mean, why on earth would someone want to risk their life and the lives of others while trying to get fit and enjoy the great outdoors? I live on a busy, winding, gravel road. It is fraught with wildlife, washboards and various other manmade and natural perils, travelling this road every day for the last 20 years has given me a prime insight as
to what and what not to expect. Now thrown into that mixed bag of dangers is the added dimension of a group of suicidal walkers. Not only do they fail to understand that the road is for cars and not hikers, but that walking two, three or even four abreast is about the stupidest thing that I have ever seen. They are putting me and you in great risk of losing (See “Area” on page 5)

the time several forms of high school were sufficient for the qualifications for a teacher. Salaries were lower. “The main subjects taught were the three Rs. Some History and Geography were taught but very little drawing. Physiology was introduced in the year 1894. A school clock was installed in 1912 and a globe bought in 1900. More maps were then added. It was just in recent years that pictures were bought for the school and the school until lately just had plastered walls. The stove was always placed in the south end of the room and windows on the east and west sides. “The birch rods were one size smaller than a broom handle. Mufflers used by the pupils about six feet long were used as scarves. Fist fights demonstrated by the pupils resulted in severe punishment. Pupils ranging up to 25 years of age attended the school. The first teachers were quite elderly. “The games indulged in were Pussy in the Corner, yarn ball played like softball, Still wedge, Charlie, he’s a nice young man. The school hours are the same as at the present time. A board fence put around the school lot changed to a wire fence in later years. The first paper towels and sanitary toilets are installed.

Stone.” Perhaps there are other scrapbooks of local news waiting to see the light of day. I would be interesting to see them. Please leave them at The Echo office if you would like to share them.

wood to the trustees and as it didn’t measure to the correct length, the pile of wood was put in the middle of the road for passers-by to take at their will. The result was that the trustees had to pay for the wood after this was brought up in court. “The school made of bricks had iron rods installed in the interior of the school running lengthwise in the room to keep the school up as it was condemned several months after the school was erected as the foundation wasn’t put up correctly. Sam McCauley was the builder of the school with Mr. Hall as carpenter. “Double desks were installed. The top of the desks were movable, sliding to the right side of the desk when not in use. The desks remained stationary. “From 55 to 60 pupils attended school in the winter and about 50 in the summer and spring, during the busy months at home. The teacher’s desk was homemade, a square with a removable cover, brown in colour about four feet long and two and one half feet wide. A teacher’s chair was placed behind the desk. The only maps then in existence at the school were Canada, Ontario, Europe and one of the school section. Blackboards made of slate built in the wall at the north end were 4’ x 10’. Wool tacked on a board served as brushes. Chalk was used. Slates and slate pencils were used by the pupils. No library was ever in existence in the school as it was considered a luxury. “The first teacher who taught in the school was James Johnston who taught for six months. His successor was George Butcher who taught for six months. (There follows is a list of the teachers right down to Mrs. Harper who was the teacher at the time of writing). “The early teachers did not require a Normal School (now called Teachers’ College) education as they do now.

they should walk in town on the safety of the sidewalk. I am doing the speed limit which is 80 km/h, when they are standing still gawking at me as if I am infringing on their space.

Marg Ferguson and Joan Olaskey tied with 268 and low went to Pat Winger. Another true story this week: Many years ago in Owen Sound at West Hill Secondary School a guidance teacher noticed the Native children were not attending school as often as they used to. When asking them why, he learned that they were embarrassed to come because they did not have and could not afford modern clothing as the other students from Owen Sound and surrounding area were wearing. So this very caring guidance counsellor
set out to approach all the merchants of Owen Sound and see if he could collect enough financial support to purchase clothing for the Native teens. The response was great and the end result was that the appreciative children attended school faithfully from then to the end of their courses. Kindness does pay off as a number of these students returned to Owen Sound and worked for some of their supporters. Remember: How wonderful to find someone who asks for nothing but your company.

DEATH NOTICES BUDA, STANLEY DANIEL December 9, 1937 – July 2, 2016 With a heavy heart, the family of Stan Buda announces his passing on into the arms of his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, on July 2 at home in Creemore, Ontario. Stan is predeceased by his father Ludwig Buda and mother, Mary Buda and her mother Mary Vajcik, and his precious 13 year old daughter Wendy. He is survived by his wife Jody Bowle-Evans, his son Michael (and his wife Dawn Grigor) and grandchildren Matthew and Mavis, brother John (and partner Gail) and sister-in-law Wendy Bowle-Evans. Stan had suffered many health issues over the past ten years. He struggled through largely due to the hands-on support of his wife and best friend Jody (Dr. Bowle-Evans). Stan’s early background can best be summarized as lousy academically and better than average athletically. His two loves were hockey and baseball. His hockey career included playing with the 1956 Memorial Cup winning Toronto Marlboros, and the Peterboro Petes. As a baseball pitcher Stan attended minor league camps held by the Philadelphia Phillies and St Louis Cardinals. At this point, Stan reached a cross roads that took him back to school. He attended Ryerson where advertising really caught his attention. In 1961 he got his first job in the advertising agency business, where he spent 37 years (including 3 years in New York City), ending up as CEO of Bates Canada. Following the death of his daughter, Stan turned his life to Jesus Christ in October 1993. His faith and belief in his Lord had steadily increased. A special thanks to Dr. Scott Houston, the renal dialysis team at Collingwood General & Marine Hospital, Saint Elizabeth Nurses, his devoted Red Cross driver and brother in Christ Pastor John Wong, and our bible study group led by Rev. Ray Dobson for all the care and support they provided over these last months. A funeral service in Stan’s honour will be held at All Saints’ Anglican Church, Collingwood, on Saturday August, 20 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, kindly consider making a donation to the Red Cross. Friends may visit Stan’s online Book of Memories at www.fawcettfuneralhomes.com.

RFP released for facility partnerships at Stayner schools The Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) is inviting proposals for facility partnerships at Clearview Meadows Elementary School (CMES) and Stayner Collegiate Institute (SCI). The details for proposal submissions are outlined in the SCDSB’s Requests for Proposal (RFP). “We welcome proposals from non-profit, public and private sector organizations to partner at Clearview Meadows and SCI. We look forward
to seeing the possibilities that partnerships can create,” said Paul Sloan, superintendent of education responsible for facility partnerships. “Successful partnerships benefit our students and the communities they live in.” The SCDSB will consider diverse examples of facility partnerships and suitable facilities, which may range from a library, joint use equipment and/ or facility space, sports fields, running tracks, and more.
An example of a facility partnership is the SCDSB’s partnership with the Township of Essa in the construction of Nottawasaga Pines Secondary School, which houses the Essa Public Library. The board purchased land from the township adjacent to the recreation centre and in return the township made a significant capital contribution to the construction of the new facility. The deadline to submit proposals is August 31.
