Number of break-ins a concern By Trina Berlo Mulmur and Melancthon residents and police are concerned about a rash of rural break-ins that have left them feeling vulnerable. One Mulmur resident who asked not to be identified, said he came home one day in July to find thieves had gained access to his balcony and threw a rock through the door window to enter through the master bedroom. He said the robbers were scared off by an alarm not before they made off with valuables. Melancthon Township resident Zora Singh had heard about a series of robberies in the area and was taking precautions to avoid being victimized. She put all of her equipment in the garage and kept in locked. She even took photos of the contents. Then, Singh came home August 11 to find the garage was empty. “Usually I feel very safe here and I think we all had been feeling safe,” said Singh. “I was keeping everything locked, lights on, keeping my eyes peeled for any suspicious cars but it’s hard to tell here.” She said there had been a lot of people and activity on the property up until August 11 but on that day everyone left and Singh went out to run errands in the afternoon, leaving one person on the property, who was cleaning the house. She saw that the garage window had been pushed out and the door had been opened. Singh said she was only away from home for two hours and the cleaner who was there the whole time didn’t hear anything. “That’s pretty gutsy,” said Singh. “They had taken the big ticket items, like our generator which is very heavy so they had the means to take this (See “Help” on page 3)

Help is needed by police (Continued from page 1) equipment, and quickly.” They also took a lawn tractor, power washer, ladder, chainsaw, leaf blower and a motorbike. “I was bummed because I was trying to be vigilant and this happened under my nose and in the daytime,” said Singh. She said she doesn’t know what would have happened if she had come home because the way the driveway is configured, she would have cornered them. Dufferin OPP Const. Paul Nancekivell said there have been about 40 such break-ins throughout the detachment area so far this year. Thieves are targeting the rural areas in Mulmur and Melancthon, going into unlocked garages and casing houses to see when people are away. Police have seen a pattern of daylight break-ins, where they know no one is home. “They could be in there for an hour in the middle of the day and unless you drive in on them, you’d never see them,” said Nancekivell. The targeted properties may have long private laneways on treed lots and may not be visible from the road. In some cases, the thieves are walking onto the property. Nancekivell is urging people to phone police when they see suspicious vehicles in the area. He said there is reason to believe that the thieves are
coming from Toronto, Brampton, Wellington County and there is some indication there are some people coming from the Dundalk area. “We need them to phone in right away if they see a vehicle they don’t recognize, or that is suspicious,” said Nancekivell. They are looking for vehicles that can carry stolen items, such as unmarked vans and pick up trucks with caps. Nancekivell said he has been out patrolling the back roads and dead ends looking for such vehicles. Residents want neighbours to be aware that there is a threat so they can be more vigilant in protecting their property. Nancekivell said people can do that by making sure their equipment and tools are put away at night in a locked garage or shed. Residents should also be sure to lock their homes and vehicles. But most importantly, they need to report to police. “We need people’s help,” said Nancekivell. “We are having a heck of a time with all these break-ins and all it will take is that one person to call in and give us the one tip that puts the last piece in the puzzle and away we go. People don’t realize how important that is.” Report all suspicious activity to police by calling 1-888-316-1122 or *677 on a cell phone.

Opinion EDITORIAL
Hot, hot heat Most of us know what Dennis Leary has to say about people who walk around in the summertime saying, how about this heat? But it’s hard not to talk about the heat when it’s all you can think about. As it turns out, the human body does not handle it well when there is an increase in temperature. Body temperature is 37˚C and as temperatures rise we start to feel strange. People can get very sick and even die from extreme heat. Those with existing health conditions are extra vulnerable. Symptoms of heat illness include dizziness or fainting; nausea or vomiting; headache; rapid breathing and heartbeat; extreme thirst (dry mouth or sticky saliva); and decreased urination with unusually dark yellow urine. If you experience any of these symptoms during hot weather, immediately move to a cool place and drink water. Extreme heat events can lead to one or more of the following health effects, in order of severity, according to Health Canada: Heat edema: Heat-induced swelling frequently noticeable in the ankles, feet and hands, and most often seen in people who are not regularly exposed to heat. Heat rash: A result of inflammation of clogged sweat glands and accompanied by tiny red spots on the skin, which may give a prickling sensation. Heat cramps: Caused by a salt imbalance resulting from a failure to replace salt lost through excessive sweating. Symptoms are sharp muscle pains Heat fainting: Caused by the loss of body fluids through sweating and by lowered blood pressure due to pooling of blood in the legs. Symptoms include temporary dizziness and fainting resulting from an insufficient flow of blood to the brain while a person is standing. Heat exhaustion: Caused by excessive loss of water and salt. Symptoms may include heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, headache, diarrhea and muscle cramps. Heat stroke: The most serious type of heat illness is a result of body heat overload. Signs of heat stroke may include a core body temperature of more than 40°C/104°F, complete or partial loss of consciousness and/or reduced mental ability. Sweating is not a good indicator, as there are two types of heat stroke: Classic - accompanied by little or no sweating, usually occurring in children, those who are chronically ill and older adults. Exertional - accompanied by an increase in body temperature because of strenuous exercise or occupational exposure in combination with environmental heat, and where sweating is usually present. Heat stroke is considered a medical emergency and 9-1-1 should be called. So take shelter from the heat and stay healthy until the heat of summer subsides and by all accounts, it is going to be a long, hot one.

Letter
Steer proposal the wrong direction Letter to the Editor. I am writing to alert the community to the application by Steer Enterprises Ltd. of a development application at Cashtown Corners. A proposal has been made for a 9 acre transport truck and diesel repair facility on the south east corner, immediately south of the Huron Tractor development, currently under construction. The application has been made as an agriculturallyrelated business within an agricultural land zoning. While Steer provides a mobile farm machine repair offering repair services to local farmers, their current yard in Glen Huron is primarily populated with transport trucks, and if approved, would essentially be doubled in size at Cashtown Corners. Fundamentally, the transport truck and diesel repair business is an industrial land use. The purpose of an Official Plan is to organize land uses and development in such a way that businesses and communities are arranged in a manner that minimizes conflicts between adjacent uses. In this case, the business intends to operate extended business hours creating noise, odours, and additional traffic. The proponent acknowledges these negative impacts at their current location in the planning application and claims no other suitable sites are available. Cashtown Corners is going through a significant change, not all of it fully appreciated before it got underway. It was never identified as a retail or industrial growth area except for redevelopment of the former gas station. Incrementally, development began a few years ago with the indoor Medical Marijuana Facility and more recently the relocation of Huron Tractor from further north on Airport Road. It was expected and reasonable that the gas station would be upgraded. Huron Tractor is first and
foremost a retail and farm equipment repair facility serving the agricultural community. Marijuana grows, albeit indoors, so it’s hard to argue that it’s not an agricultural use. On the other hand, Steer Enterprises is proposing an extended hours, 10 working bay freightliner repair garage with a 30+truck parking yard and additional gravel paved area for approximately 20 more. No visual screening is proposed for the parking yard and Airport Road is elevated and overlooks this parking yard. One cannot imagine that it will not be an eyesore and an unsightly addition to this location and the broader community. While also a depot for a mobile agricultural repair business, if the existing yard is any evidence, the bulk of the business that actually occurs at the facility is transport truck and large vehicle diesel repair. The development application refers to their strong relationship with the agricultural business community and identifies farms within the surrounding area. Might this be related to the need to convince Clearview Council that Steer is a bonifide agricultural business in order to qualify for the use rezoning application? You may be interested to know that there are no similar businesses of this scale located on Airport Road between Caledon and Wasaga Beach. This road is effectively a scenic route between the GTA and Georgian Bay, and in the case of Creemore, a key “Gateway” to a village which relies on weekend tourism as a core business attraction. Airport Road is certainly a route that doesn’t need more transport trucks encouraging anxious drivers to pass on blind hills, of which there are many. My husband and I live in close proximity to the proposed development. So do a number of other (See “Zoning” on page 4)

Horse health on the Road By Wendy Eagle Taking horses on the road is a normal practice for many horse owners. It’s a place to ride/drive for some, a mode of transportation, for others it is necessary to travel a road or two to get to trails or, it just makes a break from the ordinary. Knowing the rules of the road is important yet as with anything there are exceptions to consider. For example, travelling up hill, facing potential traffic and therefore limited strictly to the shoulder of the road, is a problem. An approaching car cannot see you and your horse until they have crested the hill so crossing to the opposite shoulder to add space until drivers in both directions can see you helps keep everyone safe. Rural traffic consists of tractors plus attachments, rocks, wildlife, vehicles, dirt bikes etc. What we ask our horses to contend with calmly, are a far cry from the natural elements horses evolved with prior to domestication. For drivers there are always questions about how the horse will react as we pass, or how exactly to pass. The answers vary. What may help drivers is to understand a bit about horses and why they spook. Hearing and vision correlate to one another closely. A horse can hear something first, alerting him to locate the source of the noise with his eyes. There is also the high possibility that horses can “hear” earth vibrations through their hooves. With eyes on the sides of the head horses can see 350 degrees. A horse’s monocular vision is similar to human peripheral vision, meaning it can see, but cannot specifically focus on objects until their head is turned toward a particular object. When something suddenly comes into their sight, it does so in a foggy manner, sometimes
causing a horse to spook when they cannot identify the source quickly enough. A moving vehicle means identification must happen within seconds. With their hearing, horses’ ears move independently, rotating 180 degrees. Horses have a pitch range higher than humans, yet are unable to hear lower sounds. This means that although your vehicle may seem quiet, a high pitched squeal out of hearing range for humans may very well startle a horse. Learning about traffic for horses is difficult but they can make associations with time and patience. Getting used to vehicles around the farm, helps horses accept them on the road. That said, if the tractor they know is well oiled and orange, associating it to a passing blue tractor with a chain clanging around a hitched seeder is questionable. Exposing the horse to variations on what they know is risky but needed training. For drivers, watch the horse you are approaching for signs of fear. Is the horse’s nose up? Is it swerving or rearing or bucking? Is the rider/ driver having obvious problems? Waiting for the horse to be controlled is appreciated. If the horse is moving along quietly, cruising at a moderate speed without accelerating while giving wide berth is fine. If the horse begins to act up as you are alongside, please keep going without accelerating as the more space the handler has, the safer the situation. When you resume accelerating, ensure you are a few car lengths ahead of the horse. Sudden noise changes or flying rocks can spoil a traffic calm horse in an instant and retraining is a difficult risky process. When we all share the road with kindness and common sense, we all get home safe and happy.

Zoning by-laws should guide and protect (Continued from page 3) families, including those who live on the surrounding farms. It goes without saying that we would be affected more than others. That said, this development will forever change the character and impression both visitors and residents will have of this community. Official Plans and Zoning Bylaws are established to guide and protect for compatibility between neighbouring uses, access, safety and environmental impact. Steer Enterprises is a beneficial and needed service for the region and admittedly needs to be somewhere. However, the impact of its daily activities, traffic, noise and appearance, are the characteristics of an industrial land use and best located where the Official Plan has zoned for uses like
this. When comparing the available industrial business park zoned lands, there are clearly large acreages of undeveloped industrial lands in both Stayner and Collingwood that could be pursued further by Steer prior to Clearview considering a zoning amendment allowing further incremental development of agricultural lands, particularly in a site as highly visible as Cashtown Corners. If you have an opinion or views on the proposed development, there will be a public presentation and an opportunity to express your views, Monday, Aug. 22, 6:30 p.m., at Clearview Municipal offices.

Accident closes Highway 26 Police had a portion of Highway 26 closed to traffic August 11 as a result of a collision investigation just north of Stayner. Officers were dispatched to a collision involving two cars and a tractor-trailer just before 10 a.m. Police say a Mercury four-door car was northbound on Highway 26 when it crossed the centre line and collided with a southbound Peterbilt tractor-trailer. The car was then hit by another northbound vehicle. The driver of the Mercury was transported to an area hospital and subsequently air lifted to a Toronto area hospital with life-threatening injuries. The other motorists were assessed at scene by paramedics. OPP Traffic Collision Investigators had Highway 26, between 27/28 Sideroad and the Mosley Street Roundabout closed until approximately 5 p.m. to investigate the crash.

Mile One: The First Ingredient is Hay The beauty and science of preserving forage grasses is depicted in an exhibit opening on September 3rd in Creemore’s historic Log Cabin. Local documentary photographer Jim Stacey has assembled a collection of images which along with text panels explain our relationship with a much overlooked agricultural ingredient – hay. “Many people see a hayfield as an unremarkable piece of the rural landscape,” says Stacey, “but in fact it is what keeps our beef, dairy cows, sheep, goats and horses, fed all winter. That’s over seven million animals across Canada.” Stacey’s photos follow hay through the seasons as it grows, is cut, baled, stored and finally fed. “There’s beauty in it – especially when you have a sense
7
of the process.” This project is both an homage to all the farmers across the country and an educational project for city-folk. “We’re so close to the land here in Creemore, and yet I don’t think we give the land or the farmers that work it that much thought,” he says. The exhibition, which includes over 20 pieces, can be viewed at the Creemore Log Cabin (at the corner of Library Street at Caroline Street) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 3 and Saturday, Sept. 10. Stacey will be on hand both days to welcome visitors. Stacey has been part of the local arts community for the past ten years as an exhibiting artist, gallery operator and volunteer and is the past Chair of the Creemore Festival of the arts.

History takes to the stage
Beau Dixon’s one-man musical story of hope will be at The Historic Gayety Theatre in Collingwood in September. Beneath Springhill is the story of Maurice Ruddick, “the singing miner,” an African-Canadian who survived nine days underground during the historic Springhill mining disaster of 1958. This multi-award-winning one-man show recalls the events, the effect it had on the rural Canadian community, and the racial tension that grew from it. The play is a celebration of hope, courage and community. “We are delighted to be bringing this important story to our Theatre Collingwood audiences. One that will both entertain and also highlight an event in our Canadian history,” said Theatre Collingwood executive director Erica Angus. Dixon portrays no less than 10 characters in this show, and his talent as a singer is itself worth the price of admission. The play is created and performed by Dixon and is directed and developed by Linda Kash with lyrics and music by Rob Fortin and Susan Newman. In addition to his many credits, Dixon has also been inducted into the Peterborough Pathway of Fame for his leadership in the arts. He is founding artistic director of Firebrand Theatre and has recorded three solo albums. The production just ran at the Thousand Islands Playhouse in Gananoque to sold-out audiences, and will conclude Theatre Collingwood’s

summer theatre festival. Beneath Springhill runs from Sept. 20-24 Theatre Collingwood continues to program a diverse playbill. The company says it is presenting shows of the highest standard but still struggles to fill seats. “I wish we could figure out why,” said Angus. “Sometimes I think Theatre Collingwood is the best kept secret.” It is noted that not all shows at The Gayety are from Theatre Collingwood (or hold the same standards). The company rents the theatre, as do other companies. They have their own separate Box Office and staff at 115 Hurontario Street. For tickets call 705-445-2200 or visit www.theatrecollingwood.ca.

Our hearts also go out to Shane Sargant’s family, Clearview Township’s recreation manager, on his recent passing. Many know the great work Shane did in his job but he was also quite a hockey player. He was drafted 8th overall in the OHL’s draft by the Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds in 1987 and played three seasons there with the Greyhounds and Sudbury Wolves. In the 1990-91 season, he returned to hometown Collingwood to play Junior
B with the Blues and later with the Orillia Terriers that season. Shane was working passionately on getting a Clearview Township Sports Hall of Fame created. He told me in the winter that the Hall of Fame needs to get done because a lot of great inductees were with us no longer and our future living hall of famers were becoming less and less. Hopefully, the township will finish Shane’s work and consider Shane as an inductee. God bless Shane. It was nice to see the Tour for Kids pass through Creemore last week. Cycling continues to thrive in our area. Finally, kudos to Pierre Marcoux and Lee Anne Cohen for their successful Creemore Vertical Challenge held recently. It was the race’s 10th anniversary and I still find it mind boggling runners run these distances. The Vertical Challenge two main races are for 75 km and 50 km. Newbies to the sport can run 25 km.
New Lowell picks up junior title By Scott Anderson One inning in baseball can make all the difference and for the New Lowell Knights it couldn’t be more accurate. The Knights won the junior division championship of the North Dufferin Baseball League Thursday night with a 7-2 win over the Mansfield Cubs after scoring six runs in the fourth inning of game four. They took the series three games to one. Game three on the previous night also went to New Lowell with an 11-5 victory after only six innings of play due to darkness.
New Lowell crossed the plate three times in the first inning on homeruns by Tyson Pendleton and a two-run shot by Lennox. Five more runs in the second crossed including a three-run shot from Pendleton. Another two runs scored in the fourth frame with a final run in the fifth inning. In a post-game presentation after the final game, league secretary and junior division convenor Scott Anderson congratulated both teams on their performance over the season and presented the Anderson Trophy to the Knights’ Curtis Dubeau.

Big Heart Seniors
By Evelyn Warden A smaller crowd this week, guess the heat has got us all. Remember there is a 95th Birthday Celebration for Eileen Nash at Station on the Green Sunday, Aug. 20. Winners of the 50/50 draw were Irma Flack, Marg Ferguson, Lillian Hiltz, Eileen Nash and John Van Voorst. Five Moon Shots were played by Ted Underhill, Pat Winger, Edith Atkinson, Phyllis Seed with the travel prize to Dave Smith. Winners for cards were Marg Falls 257, Pat Winger 240, Marg Ferguson 237, Peter Gubbles 234 and low went
to Lillian Hiltz 14. The lucky seat was vacant. A lady came upon an accident and thought it strange that a police officer was lying beside the wrecked car. Thinking the officer was hurt she took a closer look and found a young boy under the wreck and the police officer was talking to the terrified boy very quietly, trying to calm him down. The child was crying hard and informed the officer it was his eighth birthday. The officer then began to sing happy birthday to the scared boy and at that moment the wrecked car was lifted and all were safe and sound.
