Bank Café owner Nancy Johnston gets TD Market Bucks from Creemore Farmers’ Market board member Rebecca Brown and market manager Helen Martin.
The buck stops at the farmers' market by Trina Berlo Be on the lookout for TD Market Bucks being distributed in the area, which can be redeemed at the Creemore Farmers’ Market and 10 other markets in the southern Ontario greenbelt region. Market officials applied to be included in the program and were successful in getting $3,500 coupons with $5 each, which will be distributed by local businesses. In total, $42,000 in TD Market Bucks are being distributed by participating markets in the region. This is the third year of the TD Market Bucks promotion, contributing a total of $75,000. The program is a joint project of the Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation and Greenbelt Farmers’ Market Network, with funding provided by TD Bank.
“We have always championed farmers’ markets as terrific hubs for buying fresh, local food and supporting farmers in our communities,” said Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation CEO Burkhard Mausberg. “The Market Bucks program encourages folks who haven’t been to the market before to come and see firsthand the difference local makes.” Locally, farmers’ market officials hope the coupons will bring new visitors to the market and rekindle interest for those who have not attended in a while. Creemore Farmers’ Market board member Rebecca Brown said there has been a lot of interest from Creemore businesses. The coupons can be redeemed at participating market vendors until Oct. 31.
The market bucks are as good as cash for any product at any booth and the vendor will then be reimbursed. Creemore businesses are allowed to distribute TD Market Bucks in any way they wish, perhaps with a purchase or through contests. The coupons can be redeemed anytime after August 1. “The market bucks are sponsored by TD Banks for the purpose of infusing the farmers’ markets with new visitors, who will shop local for fresh produce which bring prosperity to local producers. We prefer that the market bucks are used to buy food products however that is up to the purchaser. It is our hope that every market buck gets used at one of the markets. If you have one and will not be using it please regift it to someone who could and will use it,” said market manager Helen Martin.
The community is shocked and saddened by the death of Clearview Township’s culture, recreation and tourism coordinator Shane Sargant. Sargant became ill last week while on vacation and died Tuesday at Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket. He was 45. Sargant was hired by the township in 2013 and was involved in the planning of Clearview’s events. He was successful in securing several grants for the m u n i c i p a l i t y Shane Sargant an d w as als o successful in gaining accolades for Clearview’s Small Halls Festival through provincial award programs. Most recently, he was working to establish a Clearview sports hall of fame. Before coming to Clearview, he worked in event planning in the Niagara Region, Wiarton and Sauble Beach. “Hurricane Shane” was a kind and thoughtful gentle giant, a Grateful Dead fan and diehard Detroit Red Wings fan. He was a skilled hockey player, having played with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and the Sudbury Wolves. Sargant will be missed by his wife Kristine and daughters Berlin and Brielle. A visitation will be held at Carruthers and Davidson Funeral Home in Stayner on Friday, August 5 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, August 6, at the Stayner Community Centre, at 1 p.m. with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations to an educational fund for his daughters are appreciated.

Improv duo performing at dinner-and-a-show by Trina Berlo Two of Canada’s top improv comedians will be performing in Creemore. Improv teacher Peter Madore is bringing a comedic duo to Creemore, with the help of his students. Madore has been doing improv for 15 years, starting out in Toronto, but when he moved to Creemore he thought he may have to leave it behind. “I was the only guy. I really thought I was done. I thought, I’m never going to find another opportunity to do that here,” said Madore. In talking with neighbours, he discovered there was some interest. Madore had taught improv classes in Toronto and some people expressed taking a class locally. It started with one class a couple of years ago and Madore has since taken a break from it, taking time for his studies but he recently revived the class. “After that first class there was so much more interest from the students to understand what does this look like when it is produced and performed in a really professional way?” He said that brought about the Monkey Toast performance at Avening Hall and then another show in Collingwood two years ago. Then recently, the students put on a class show at The Sovereign. Madore said it was a lively, high-energy performance by the six-member troupe with friends and family members in attendance. “It was really the energy behind the

Adam Cawley and Rob Norman of RN and Cawls will be doing improv in Creemore August 6. group that propelled me to really see this as a possibility of doing a show. I couldn’t have done it without them because I have had outstanding support from all of these people who took the class,” said Madore. “It’s really a group effort.” He said the next logical step was to offer a professional show, to step out and offer something different entertainmentwise, in this area. Madore
has booked improv comedians Adam Cawley and Rob Norman to perform in Creemore on August 6. “They are the leading figures of improv in the country so it was really a no-brainer to go to them,” said Madore, who knows them through the Toronto improv scene. Second City alumni and best friends Norman and Cawley, also known as RN and Cawls, have been performing together for 10 years since meeting in a sketch troupe. “That kind of disbanded but we enjoyed each other so much that we stuck together,” said Cawley. He said they continued to work together, including their time at Second City and in addition to their duo created Mantown with two other comics, which won the Canadian Comedy Award for the best improv troupe in 2013. The following year, Cawley won The Canadian Comedy Award for Best Male
Improviser in Canada. In Creemore, after warming up with some traditional improv sketches, they will perform a 30-minute or so one-act improvised play inspired by a single suggestion from the audience, with each one doing multiple characters and changing scenes. “This is where all the improv technique comes in with trusting your partner and listening, paying attention to every little minute detail but the thrill for us of not exactly knowing how anything is going to go,” said Cawley. Madore hopes to develop the concept into a dinner-and-a-show series in the future. Tickets for buffet dinner and a show at The Sovereign on Saturday, August 6 costs $50. Dinner is at 7:30 p.m. Reservations for dinner and show are recommended, and are being accepted at Sovereign Bistro and Grill, 157 Mill St., Creemore or phone 705-466-9999.

Opinion EDITORIAL
Farmers' markets connect growers to buyers Research is showing that the benefits of farmers’ markets goes deeper than attracting tourists and they do a lot to build and strengthen community. Stroll through the Creemore Farmers’ Market on a Saturday morning and you’ll see neighbours visiting, coffee in one hand, dirt bomb in the other, cloth bag bursting with fresh greens. It is part of a farmers’ market network that is proving to be good for community and business because you’ll also see consumers chatting directly with the people who grow the food they are buying. The Greenbelt Farmers’ Market Network 2015 research report (December 2015) surveyed market managers and 108 market vendors at 30 markets in and around the Greenbelt in summer 2015 and found that overall, markets appear to be growing stronger as a destination for fresh local food. Farmers and shoppers have developed bonds of trust, says the research. Farmers have found that market shoppers want what they produce and shoppers trust this source for quality, local food. Another benefit is that markets are contributing to strengthening and growing the local food system by connecting farmers to chefs, food service, caterers, local retailers, small scale processors, and other buyers. The study found that markets appear to be growing stronger as a destination for fresh local food, and demand for fresh vegetables continues to climb and retains the top spot far ahead of other categories growers bring to market, including fruit, cut flowers and meat, and; • 29 per cent of farm vendors report a greater share of revenues from market sales compared to their overall farm business sales; • On average, 40 per cent of land on a farm is dedicated to growing produce for markets • 63 per cent of farm vendors report that markets help them connect with other buyers, compared to 53 per cent in 2009; • 21 per cent of meat vendors now sell dark meat, compared to 8 per cent in 2015 reflecting a growing interest in buying natural meats; • Farmers are deriving more of their business income from markets. Farmers have learned that markets can be secure and predictable sales channels; • The role of markets as a hub to access other sales channels is growing; • The evidence that local food sales are prompting farmers to grow new varieties and increase acreage for market production; • The farmer sector is expanding with the development of new, small-scale farms geared to growing produce for the local market; • Farmers are responding to the increased demand for local food by expanding sales channels to include farmgate/farm stands and CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) sales/distribution; • Most farmers believe that the demand for local food is on the rise.

Creemore photographer Jennifer Eccles has traveled extensively in the past year and is displaying some of her photos at Curiosity House Books and gallery until August 7.
Photographer explores the globe, shares memories by Trina Berlo Jennifer Eccles is currently showing an eclectic mix of photos taken during her travels over the past year. The show entitled Memories of a Gypsy , in reference to Eccles’ wanderlust, features 20 photos from as far away as Africa, Cuba, Mexico, England and closer to home in Ontario. “It’s a spectrum of places that I have been, moments along the way that I have captured and want to share with people,” said Eccles. She said although she has taken photos for many years, this is her first show. The photos are a collection of landscapes and streetscapes, with an emphasis on colour. All of the countries also have a lot of history and old
buildings, some of which are crumbling and some are lovingly maintained. Through her lens, Eccles strives to show everyday scenes from a different perspective. “I want people to be able to look at the pictures and travel through my eyes, to experience a place that they may never get to go see, through their imagination by looking at the photo,” she said. Eccles said seeing a different way of life and learning about other cultures sometimes makes her appreciate her life back home and sometimes helps deepen her perspective. Memories of a Gypsy will be on sale in the gallery at Curiosity House Books until August 7.

With tears in his eyes, the little boy told his kindergarten teacher that only one pair of boots was left in the classroom and they weren’t his. The teacher searched and searched, but she couldn’t find any other boots. “Are you sure these boots aren’t yours?” she asked. “I’m sure,” the little boy sobbed. “Mine had snow on them.” Have a Great Children’s Festival!

Canadian National Draft Horse Show this weekend
CANADA DAY THANK YOU
The great draft horses will strut their stuff this weekend, July 30 and 31, at the third annual Canadian National Draft Horse Show. The show begins with halter classes at 9 a.m. on Saturday followed by hitch classes at 1:15 p.m., after the opening ceremonies. The schedule is the same on Sunday. The Essa Canadian National Draft
The Creemore Legion Branch 397 wishes to thank all those individuals that helped in the organization, execution and cleanup of the Creemore Canada Day activities. Including the all day Street Hockey tournament participants, which helped draw an ever-growing crowd of spectators. We would like to extend a special thanks to all the companies, organizations and individuals without whose financial support none of the activities could have taken form; especially the fireworks. The Legion’s Canada Day 50/50 draw was won by Jamie Grant of Stayner, who went away with a prize of $635.00. Although, the real winner of that draw was the Creemore Legion’s Children’s program who will benefit from the other half of the winnings. Thank you to the local community that came out and participated to make all the events that much more enjoyable and memorable. We look forward to seeing every one for our Nation’s 150th Anniversary. We are already planning an even bigger and more memorable celebration with adult and children’s activities, bicycle parade, street hockey and fireworks.
