The growing staff at Steer Enterprises has outgrown its current location at Glen Huron and is hoping to move to an expanded facility at Cashtown Corners. An exception to the existing agricultural zoning is needed in order for the development to proceed.

Steer hopes to relocate at Cashtown Corners by Trina Berlo Area residents packed into Clearview Township council chambers in Stayner Monday to both oppose and support a proposed rezoning that would allow Steer Enterprise to relocate to Cashtown Corners. Steer is hoping to build a facility

for its growing business, particularly a service centre that will accommodate up to 30 large trucks and farm vehicles. Steer is looking to purchase a 10-acre parcel of property severed from a farm field on the southeast corner of County Roads 42 and 9. The rezoning hinges on council’s opinion as to whether or not

the diesel engine repair business meets the criteria for the agriculturally related commercial exception zone. Agricultural related business accounts for 50 per cent of the work done at Steer, said controller Judith Crawford, and is considered to be a growing customer base. It is the only

authorized agricultural service centre for Cummins engines in the area. Tim Young started the business in 2004 with a two-person mobile repair unit and by 2007 there were seven staff members setting up shop in Glen Huron. Today Steer employs 28 people (See “Mixed” on page 7)

Avening Hall Board members Deputy Mayor Barry Burton (front, from left) and Bill Hewitt hold up plans for an accessibility renovation with Sara Hershoff (back, from left), MP Kellie Leitch, Lorie Awender and Tina Stephens. Leitch made the initial grant announcement in August 2015, which set the project in motion.

Avening Hall reno goes to tender by Trina Berlo After months of planning and community consultation, the Avening Hall renovation is going to tender. The exact cost of the accessibility renovation won’t be known until the tenders come in but officials already know that it will be well above the original estimate of $235,000, perhaps somewhere in the $475,000 range. Last August, Avening Hall received a $110,000 grant from the federal government’s Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, which would have covered almost half of the original 2012 cost estimate. As a result of the renovation, Avening Hall will be rendered wheelchair accessible with new washrooms and an

elevator. Hall board chair Bill Hewitt said the cost of the elevator alone is around $80,000, not including the associated work. CAO Steve Sage said meeting standards for accessibility and building code has driven up the price. “These small projects are becoming the bane of our existence,” said Sage, adding there is detailed work needed to be compliant. “We are going to come forward with a game plan and not treat the halls as one-offs.” He said accessibility was a big challenge at Avening Hall because “there is a step to get just about everywhere”. Once involved in the planning process, Avening Hall board took the original drawings to the community

and decided that rather than building an addition to the south side of the hall they would rather build out the back, to the east and redo the kitchen as well. Working with R.J. Burnside & Associates engineer Mina Tesseris, they came up with a plan that most people were happy with. The existing washrooms will be removed and replaced with a 2,000 square foot addition. The bowling lanes and the main hall will remain untouched. “The main hall will have its original character. The stage and everything will look the same,” said Hewitt. There will be work done to improve the mechanics of the hall and make it more efficient, including a new heating and cooling system. (See “Avening” on page 16)

The way we were

Steer is essential business to agricultural community and community at large Steer Enterprises is a model for business success in Clearview Township. With 50 per cent of their business coming from agriculture, it should pass the test for a zoning exception that will allow the business to relocate to Cashtown Corners. According to the province’s planning guidelines an agriculture-related use means those farm related commercial and farm-related industrial uses that are small scale and directly related to the farm operation and are required in close proximity to the farm operation. The local farming community came out to the public meeting Monday to say Steer is an essential service for their business and to have it close by is vital in getting them back online quickly. Andrew Tupling of Tupling Farms made the point that he has a short window to harvest potatoes and he relies on Steer for fast reliable service. It is naïve to think that farmers use only traditional farm vehicles. Modern farmers have large swaths of land, some of which they own and some rented, and they work thousands of acres to bring in all kinds of traditional crops but also other types of agri-business such as sod, trees, seed and feed, all of which relies on trucking for distribution. Not to mention the livestock and fertilizer and a number of other farm related products and byproducts that are moved around on a regular basis. This makes Steer a good fit for the development that is going on at Cashtown Corners. It is complementary to the agri-industrial hub that is taking shape. Yes, prime farmland needs to be protected. Keeping in mind, the development will require only 10 acres, it is important to point out that supporting businesses help farmers be more productive by allowing them to access the services they need within their community. This is a perfect example of why provincial planning guidelines allow for exceptions to zoning, so the supporting businesses can exist within the farming community. To say a business is unsightly or noisy is off point. It’s like moving to the country and complaining about the smell of manure. Steer has an enviable dilemma. It has outgrown its current location (which we may add is in a hamlet that has more residential development than Cashtown Corners). We should be grateful that there exist this type of business that is hiring and training young local people who will surely go on to have successful careers, become homeowners and parents, people who contribute to the local economy on many levels. A parent can only dream that their child would have a shot at such a good job if they wished to live out their days in Clearview Township. Council should support this initiative and show that Clearview promotes success in business and help Cashtown Corners live up to its name.

Wayfinding signs come up short Editor: We have for years driven past the blue sign located on County Road 91 pointing down Fairgrounds Road. We are looking for any of your readers who can explain the meaning of the two fives. It is not kilometres, miles nor rods, because the brewery in downtown Creemore is 10.1 kilometres south of the sign. While we are on signs, why is (among others) the Francis Street East sign AWOL since April? Surely those responsible didn’t remove the old sign without a new one on hand? John and Marie Blohm, Creemore (on the street with no name).

Safety critical to active transportation by Dr. Charles Gardner Being physically active is essential to good health, and one of the easiest ways to get moving on a regular basis is to use active transportation to get places you’re already going. Active transportation, which is simply any form of human powered transportation, from walking to cycling to skateboarding to using a wheelchair, is a great way to build physical activity into our everyday life. The benefits of active transportation are important to individuals and to our society as a whole. In 2014 the Medical Officers of Health in the Greater TorontoHamilton area (GTHA), including Simcoe Muskoka, released Improving Health by Design, which directly attributes an alarming increase in diabetes (some 12,500 new cases a year) to physical inactivity. Inactivity and obesity cost the Ontario economy an estimated $4 billion every year. Locally we find that heart disease is at or above the provincial average.

Providing active transportation options also benefits health because with fewer vehicles on the road, we improve air quality. According to the 2006 census, 92 per cent of commuters in Simcoe Muskoka drove a car, truck or van to work, only six per cent walked or biked, and two per cent used public transit. The vehicles we drive generate roughly 23 per cent of Canada’s greenhouse emissions. Improving air quality by travelling in less polluting ways can prevent in the neighbourhood of 150 premature deaths in the GTHA each year and help to mitigate climate change. However, it’s difficult to encourage people to use active transportation without discussing safety, something I know about from personal experience. I’ve been a cycling commuter for many years now, which I enjoy doing, rain or shine, eight months of the year. The route I use is the best I have found, but that’s not to say it’s safe and I’ve had some frightening experiences. (See “Provincial” on page 5)

Tragic Magic

By Tim Armour

Helen Blackburn presents the graduating class photo and medical degree of Hazel Grainger to her great nieces Cathy Malone (left) and Vicki Morley (right). Malone was doing some online research about her great aunt Hazel Grainger recently when she came across the story Blackburn wrote for The Creemore Echo about the framed University of Toronto 1927 class photo and document given to her by Jason Durish. While in town to claim the artifacts, the sisters visited the family homestead, now the Gordon farm, and other places members of the Grainger family lived. (See related photo in They Way We Were on facing page.)

I watched The Hip the other night. I saw old Gordie give it. He poured his life out on that stage. I saw him ache to live it. I saw the effort on his face Delivering each lyric. He rose above the challenges, But was the victory pyrrhic? His words were pearls and I the swine. I pondered on their meaning, Recondite and profound at times, Still some parts I was gleaning. But twice he spoke explicitly Between the crowd’s ovations About our duty to address The need of our First Nations. He told us we’d been programmed From the day that we were christened To let our Native people’s cries Rise to the skies unlistened. He pointed to the leader Who is ready to take action, But we all must get behind it For this train to get some traction. We will become the people Who will match our misty image, Or will we flag and fail again Upon this line of scrimmage?

Provincial legislation will increase safety for motorists, cyclists (Continued from page 4) Unfortunately cycling and pedestrian injuries and deaths are far too common. Over the twelve-year period between 2000 and 2011, 14 Simcoe Muskoka residents died in cycling accidents, with nine of those as a result of a traffic collision with a car or truck. During the same time period, 67 Simcoe Muskoka pedestrians died in transportationrelated accidents, with 80 per cent of the deaths a result of traffic collisions. People are more likely to walk or cycle if they have safe and easy access to trails, sidewalks and bike lanes. That

requires conscious planning to ensure that, as we move toward building more active transportation options into community design, safety is at the forefront. The good news is that we are building the idea of active transportation into our culture, at work, at home, at play and in government policy. It has been rewarding in recent years to work with municipalities to change official plan language to encourage more healthconscious planning and development of our cities and towns. It is also important to design our communities to make day

Vintage dealer has eye out for the unusual by Trina Berlo Through a side door off Caroline Street West, there is a treasure trove of vintage finds. Susan Eastwood has filled her new shop, Eastwood Vintage, with those vintage things that have caught her eye during her travels. Collectors will find dishes, clothing, luggage, some unusual lamps and even a rather naughty Victorian boot jack. Eastwood said she has collected vintage items since she was a teenager ever since she bought a small oak cabinet that caught her eye and tied it to the car in order to get it home. She still owns the cabinet that got her hooked on a life of browsing for the unusual. “I love what I do and have done it on a small scale for many years. I thought it was time to do more with it,” said Eastwood. Eastwood has shared a booth at the Cookstown Antique Market for about six years but has been purchasing for resale for about 14. She said she has amassed a collection, which will supply the store. Some of the items filter through her house and some remain in her permanent collection. She has a particular interest in vintage kitchenwear from the 1950s and 1960s, which began with Fire King dishes. She bought a set of Fire King diamond mugs early on because they were the same ones she remembers from her family cottage.

Susan Eastwood has opened Eastwood Vintage in a small shop at the side of 8 Caroline Street West, where she is selling the vintage treasures that she hunts up everywhere she goes. She said nostalgia is a driving factor in vintage. “I think that’s why the market keeps shifting,” said Eastwood adding that people are looking for things they have an emotional connection to. She carries bar and glasswear, lighting, furniture, garden stuff,

architectural and industrial items. The new shop will be enhanced by an online store, where Eastwood plans to sell more product, especially clothing. Eastwood Vintage is located at 8 Caroline Street West, to the side of Clearview Community Radio, and

is open Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., otherwise by chance or appointment. Contact Eastwood at 705-443-0844 or eastwoodvintage@ gmail.com. Find Eastwood Vintage on Facebook.

Mixed feedback at Steer public meeting (Continued from page 1) and there are plans to hire another eight if the relocation and expansion goes ahead. Steer is hoping to build a 2,350 square foot service centre that would allow repair work to be done indoors. Opponents of the rezoning said at a public meeting Monday that the business is unsightly because of the large trucks that sit out front of the current Glen Huron location. Marnie and John Hillier said during a public meeting August 22 that the business would be more suited to an industrial park and that the development at Cashtown Corners would not be visually suitable as a gateway to Creemore for people coming to cottage country and that it sets a precedent for other development. They said they are not so much worried about the noise as the increased traffic coming and going from the facility. Representing CARA – the Creemore and Area Ratepayers Association –

Valerie Dyer said the use doesn’t support the exception as it is not directly related to agriculture, saying Steer was just trying to make it fit. She said it would be appropriate if it were only to repair farm vehicles or to dispatch a mobile unit to farms. “That is not the business they are asking you to permit,” said Dyer. She also said it is unwise to develop farmland. “I am deeply ashamed that CARA doesn’t approve of anything that creates jobs,” said Maureen McLeod, adding residents should support a business that can help people make a living in the community. Susan MacLeod, a co-op teacher at Collingwood Collegiate Institute, spoke about the role Steer plays in helping students get a feel for a skilled trade. Many local students have gone from a co-op placement into an apprenticeship program at Steer, sometimes then using those transferable skills to get jobs elsewhere, she said.

Brian Bell said council is faced with a difficult decision because agricultural land should be preserved as half of the country’s prime farmland is in Ontario and it is being developed at a rate of 300-350 acres per day. Young told The Echo the point of the expansion is to give them enough room to better accommodate the vehicles and improve working conditions for the employees, who are currently working in the elements all year round. Steer has customers throughout Simcoe and Grey counties and Young said there is opportunity to move to Grey County but he wants to stay in Clearview, where he is from and most of his employees live. They have looked for more than two years to find a suitable new location, said Young, and Cashtown Corners has proven to be the most suitable because it fits with the development occurring there now (the gas station revitalization and the relocation of Huron Tractor), there is little residential development in

the area and it is central to its customer base. Young said they have looked at other properties including areas in the Stayner industrial park but there are building restrictions due to lot size, availability and overhead power lines. Andrew Tupling of Tupling Farms also spoke in support of the rezoning at the public meeting. He said he uses more than 40 vehicles to harvest 40 million pounds of potatoes and relies on Steer to keep the vehicles operational. “Without them, I don’t know what we would do,” said Tupling. “It’s an important decision to support them and what they do. Most companies in the area are working with Steer.” Council will consider the comments made at the public meeting and staff is still accepting submissions in writing. A decision will be made at a future meeting. “They have a big service area and we are lucky to have them in our township,” said Councillor Thom Paterson.

Museum exhibit marking 30th anniversary of shipyard closure looking for items, memories The Collingwood Museum is looking for items from the Shipyards for their upcoming Memories of the Shipyards Exhibit. The upcoming exhibit will honour the 30th anniversary of the Yard’s closure and will feature objects collected by community members over the 103

years of shipbuilding in Collingwood. “If you have an item connected to the history of shipbuilding in Collingwood that you would like to loan for the duration of this exciting community exhibit, please contact staff today. We’re looking for anything, from lunch boxes and tools to ship memorabilia.

We’re also looking for the stories and memories behind the objects,” said museum supervisor Susan Warner. The exhibit opening is set for Sept. 10 at the Collingwood Museum, 45 St. Paul Street. Additional information will be available soon about celebratory

activities, onsite vendors, a shipyard tool identification table and more at www.collingwood.ca/museum. If you are interested in becoming involved or have any items you wish to loan for the exhibit, please contact staff today at museum@collingwood. ca or call 705-445-4811.

Great things happening, memories made with Scouts by Alan “Bagheera” Palmer Wow! How great were our Olympic Athletes this year in Rio! Not only did they challenge themselves to be the best they could, they represented their country with overwhelming pride. One athlete that stands out for me is Penny Oleksiak. At 16 years old she captured four Olympic medals (one gold, one silver, two bronze) and the interest of Youth all over the country. She was 15 when she qualified for the Olympics, and had only been swimming competitively for four years before that! At 11 years old, she made the commitment to challenge herself to be better every single day. Fun fact: 11 is the entry age of a Scout with Scouts Canada. Why do I make this connection between an Olympian and Scouting? Lord Baden Powell’s goal with Scouting more than 100 years ago was to challenge the youth to expand their lives, try new experiences, become more engaged in the community. He wanted them to truly open their eyes, ask questions, challenge the normal for a better way of doing things. All in the spirit of humanity, in a controlled, fun creative and fair fashion. One of the key fundamental values of Scouting is Duty to Self: Which is defined as, the responsibility for the development of oneself to one’s full potential physically, intellectually, spiritually and socially. I would argue that Penny, and all the other Olympic Athletes, excelled in developing themselves to their maximum potential. It all starts with Scouts. This is one of the guiding principles we strive for here at 1st Creemore Scouting. By providing an open, safe environment for the youth, following general guidelines set out from Scouts Canada, we are shaping tomorrow’s leaders, and who knows, perhaps future Olympians! This past year saw an amazing growth in the organization here in Creemore. Our Colony of Beavers grew from 3-5 to more than 10. Cub Scouts saw similar growth growing from 5-7 up to more than 10, and our Scouts added a few more as well. As a leader, I personally went through Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers before heading off to college and my adult life, it truly is heartwarming to see the excitement, the awareness, the fun the youth have each and every week. Taking time out from our busy personal lives is justified knowing that the experiences shared with the youth help them become the best they can be.

1st Creemore Scout leaders Ginny Smith and Alan Palmer and four local cub scouts celebrated 100 years of Cub Scouts in Canada at Canadian Jamboree 2016 in Guelph last month. Fun fact: Having a Scouting background helps candidates with job interviews in their adult futures. This past year, our Fall Exploration camp was a huge success. Beavers and Cubs camped out in the Legion. Games, crafts, hikes, even a movie night made the weekend camp a tremendous fun time for everyone. Various crafts were worked on, games played, songs and skits learned through the rest of the fall and into winter. Our annual winter camp at Mansfield saw some of our Scouts earn their winter camping badge by building a bivouac and sleeping out over night. Not too bad given the -20 temperatures! The Cubs had it easy in the heated cabins, but still endured well playing and hiking outside. Sledding is always a highlight of the weekend, and this camp was no exception. Our spring camp down the road in Terra Nova proved more of a challenge for the Cubs. Temperatures were extremely low for the time of the year, staying in the single digits, and dipping below zero at night. We even had snow fall Sunday morning! Although I froze in my tent, the youth persevered and all indicated they slept quite well, with only a few feeling a bit

cold over night. Our yearend camp at Mythwood saw the expansion of including Beavers on both nights, rather than just the usual Saturday visit. I have to tell you, these kids were amazing! Not only did they embrace the camp in all its glory, they excelled at it! Not one of them shied away from the activities, challenging themselves to keep up to the Cubs and Scouts, truly making their own paths to their future! We had an extra special event for the Cub Scouts this summer. 2016 is the 100th anniversary of Cub Scouts in Canada, and coincided with a Cub Jamboree held every three years (started in 2007). We had four youth and two Scouters attend this amazing week long camp titled CCJ’16. This camp had over 650 Cub Scouts, and over 200 Scouters with those youth. On top of that there were more than 100 volunteers to help run the activities, and special events throughout the camp. Almost 1,000 people all tenting out at Camp Everton outside of Guelph. This was an extremely well run camp, which had activities planned out for the youth basically from the time the Kudu horn sounds at 7 a.m. until they finish Mug up (hot chocolate and a treat) at 9:30 p.m. I was truly shocked at how much energy all the youth (and Scouters) had through the week, although you could see them getting more droopy as the week went on (myself included!). I was grateful to be a part of this camp, the youth were amazing, through all the ups and downs (mine included)! Moving forward, next year brings the opportunity for youth in Scouts (and those going into Scouts at the end of next year) to attend CJ’17 (Canadian Jamboree 2017) in Nova Scotia! This camp is estimated to have an attendance somewhere in the range of 10,000 youth from all over Canada. We are starting the process to see who is interested, what the costs would be, and what it would take to get there. Beyond that we have on our radar the WJ’19 (World Jamboree 2019) which is going to be held in West Virginia, and will have upwards of 15,000 youth from all over the world. This will be for Scouts and Venturers, and will be a fantastic trip for all involved! Great things are happening, and memories are ready to be formed. It takes a community to raise a child, and in the case of Scouting, it truly plays a key role. Our group is only as strong as the community support it receives. The Scouters can only do so much, relying on the help of others to drive forward a truly great experience for the youth. In order for 1st Creemore Scouting to be successful, to truly help the youth have a tremendous experience, (See “Creemore” on page 14)

â€˘ The Creemore Echo â€˘ Friday, August 26, 2016

Creemore Scouts looking for leaders and helpers (Continued from page 10) we need your continuous support and help. Our committee is in need of volunteers to help run the â€œbusinessâ€? side of the group. Roles ranging from secretary to take minutes, an administrator to keep the group on track, a treasurer to ensure our books are balanced, a lead fundraiser to plan not only in what the youth can sell for profit, but also drum up donations from local businesses. Most of these roles are currently handled by active Scouters, who are also trying to plan and run the weekly meetings. By freeing up the monthly tasks, the Scouters can focus

on the weekly meetings to bring more exciting and value added events for the youth. Even then, the Scouters could use more help with crafts, camps, games, songs, skits and other fun activities, be it each week helping run one or more, be it in the background planning out crafts and organizing them so that the Scouters simply just have to run through it with the youth. Helping out does not have to mean being a Scouter, being there actively. There are countless ways your help can ensure we bring the best experience to the youth possible. Yes, we need your help. Beyond what I mentioned

prior, we are in need of Beaver Leaders, as it stands now we have none, and will be unable to continue with Beavers until these positions are filled. We will be having our kick off session at the Legion on August 30 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., where we will be on site to take registrations (which can also be done online, just ask for the link), answer questions etc. Scouting is more than just an outlet of time and energy for your youth, itâ€™s about creating memories for your youth, itâ€™s about creating experiences that will last a lifetime, itâ€™s about preparing an individual for the life ahead of them. With that, we have the plan, we just need the help to run it efficiently and effectively. Letâ€™s work together, and who knows, perhaps the next Penny Oleksiak is amongst us, just waiting to be enlightened on their path to excellence.
