Raible pays homage to Petun by Trina Berlo A new book about the aboriginal people who once lived in the Creemore area is the product of much personal interest and research by Pat Raible. Raible first learned of the Petun about 21 years ago. She and her husband Chris had opened a bookstore on Creemore’s main street, where they were paid a visit by Charles Garrad, an archeologist who was researching the history of the First Nations people of the Wyandot tribe. The fruits of Garrad’s research were published in Petun to Wyandot: The Ontario Petun from the 16th Century (2014). The 656-page book is a comprehensive and academic account of more than 60 years of research and fieldwork. His interest in the Petun was piqued when he was introduced to an archeological
site near Craigleith in the late 1950s. Records from fur traders of the day, Samuel de Champlain, and religious missionaries concur with artifacts found at local sites to confirm that the Petun people lived in villages in the immediate area. Raible embarked on her own research and has shared her knowledge of the Petun locally through events organized by the Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society. Most recently, in anticipation of the 400th anniversary of Champlain’s visit to the area, Raible gave a talk about the Petun and that research has gone into the writing of The Petun: People of the Hills , published by Curiosity House Books. Raible said the 91-page book is meant to be an introduction to the Petun, with the hope that those
interested would go on to further their own learning. Evidence shows the Petun lived in former Nottawasaga Township, south into Mulmur and north into The Blue Mountains, writes Raible. The earliest Petun village in the area was located on the western edge of present day Creemore. The Petun hunted and processed beaver for the purpose of trading fur but they were also farmers, growing corn, beans and squash. Petun translates to “tobacco people” but it is thought that if they grew tobacco it would have been for their own use. The names bestowed on the First Nations people were nicknames given by those recording their encounters with them and not the names the native people would have used for themselves, said (See “Champlain” on page 3)
by Trina Berlo The schedule has been released for the third annual Small Halls Festival coming up at the end of this month. From Sept. 29 to Oct. 2, venues in nine of Clearview Township’s communities will host a number of events.

Avening will welcome to the stage Elliott Brood and a mystery band will pay tribute to The Tragically Hip. There will also be a contra and square dance, laser tag, bowling and games with a barbecue lunch on Sunday. Brentwood Hall is celebrating Oktoberfest on Friday, continuing through the weekend with a harvest market, country breakfast, horseshoe tournament, a Saturday evening concert with The River Town Saints country band and a Sunday pancake breakfast. Dunedin Hall will host a classical guitar concert with Jeffrey McFadden, which includes cider and cheese pairing. Two nights of Rib Tickler dinners with Yuk Yuk’s comedians returns to Nottawa Hall, with music by Not Ottawa on Friday night and Strange Potatoes on Saturday night.

Dan Needles to host Rural Route bus tour
Champlain visited Petun in this area in 1616 (Continued from page 1) Raible. The Petun people moved around the area for various reasons, including rich soil for their crops, and did not inhabit all the settlements at the same time. In all, there are six local sites that have been explored by archeologists, that are named for the farmers who owned the land and first discovered artifacts while working the land: Latimer (near Banda Corners); Duff (near Avening); Sidey-Mackay (west edge of Creemore); Melville (near the reservoir at the top of Collingwood Street); Hamilton Lougheed (between Websterville and Smithdale); and Kelly-Campbell near Duntroon. Researchers relied on local knowledge to locate sites. Local historian Helen Blackburn drew one geographer to the site of a former Petun cornfield near Dunedin and interestingly, it was her relative – F. Webster – gave a tour of two of the villages to researchers in 1908. It is believed Champlain visited the Petun at the Melville site in 1616 while on a mission to find an easy trade route to China and form trade partnerships with the indigenous people. At the time there were eight Petun villages and another two under construction, possibly with a population of 10,000 or more. They lived in shared longhouses and had established systems of government and religious beliefs. Artifacts found at the sites included tobacco pipes, arrowheads, pottery,

The way we were
Students will be back in school Tuesday and with the new school year comes the return of school buses to the local roads. Huronia West OPP is reminding drivers of the rules of the road: When a school bus is at a stop with alternating red lights flashing, drivers travelling in both directions must stop. Drivers approaching the bus from the front are required to stop at a safe distance to let children get on or off the school bus and cross the road. When approaching from behind, stop at least 20 metres away. Do not go until the lights have stopped flashing or the bus begins to move. As well as the upper alternating red flashing lights, school buses use a stop sign arm on the driver’s side of the bus. This arm, a standard stop sign with alternating flashing red lights at top and bottom, swings out after the upper alternating red lights begin to flash. Remain stopped until the arm folds away and all lights stop flashing. Drivers can be charged if they pass a stopped school bus with its upper red lights flashing (First offence: $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points. Second offence within five years: $1,000 to $4,000, six demerit points and possible jail time (up to six months).

Disappointed in editorial
Would hate to see another gasoline alley at Cashtown
Editor: I was very disappointed in your editorial endorsing the development by Steer at Cashtown Corners. With so little notice, few members of the community were able to attend the public meeting and your editorial does not tell the whole story. You may recall from our presentation, that my husband and I wholeheartedly support the expansion of Steer, providing even more jobs for Clearview. Our main concern is that this industrial development does not belong at one of the gateways to the village, creating larger volumes of transport truck traffic, at an already busy intersection. It is hoped that council will endeavour to help Steer find a more suitable location for this valued community business, without having to rezone agricultural land. This is why plans are created in the first place. Marnie Hillier, Creemore.
Editor: After seeing Cashtown Corners ignored for so long, it is startling to see so much action. There was unanimous agreement that something need to be done about the gas station on the northwest corner. People were surprised but supportive of the trendsetting medical marijuana facility in the northeast. Hesitation appeared when another field quickly fell to Huron Tractor in the north-east and now the southeast field is being eyed by Steer Enterprises. The once idyllic valley that welcomes us home is becoming a
Steer integral to ag business
Editor: Thank you to The Creemore Echo for supporting the application from Steer Enterprises to relocate to Cashtown Corners. This company is an integral part of local agricultural business and, like all small businesses, a cornerstone of our local community. A business that employs as many people as Steer Enterprises should be encouraged to thrive in Clearview Township and we wish them success in their relocation. Scott and Lori Diceman, Stayner.

hive of industry. Currently locals champion the transformation but that is subject to change (à la the marijuana facility) and the transformation will be long-term. I would hate to see Cashtown Corners look like the Hwy 90 approach into Barrie or turn into another gasoline alley. My hope is that the businesses realize their aesthetic is the gateway and first impression to Clearview Township, Simcoe County, and the Georgian Triangle for residents and tourists alike. Donna Baylis, Dunedin.
We should protect farmland for future generations Editor: I believe you missed the point when you wrote about the issue of the Steer facility. Let me state the facts as I see them. Steer is primarily an industrial repair business that handles all types of pollutants (ex. gasoline, diesel, oil and anti-freeze), all of which may leak from faulty vehicles sitting waiting to be repaired. It’s not a good idea to be sitting on 10 acres of good fertile farmland. The fact is that we’re using up too much farmland and we should be protecting it for future generations. We should be listening to experienced speakers with professional credentials and not disregarding their concerns? As we have industrial lands in Clearview, should
we not be following the advice of town planners and environmental lawyers and insist that development follow the strict guidelines regarding environmental protection? The new Esso station at Cashtown Corners dispenses fuel and must meet very high standards to protect the property from contamination, i.e. fuel management and containment systems, zero tolerance when it comes to spills, rigorous inspections, regularly by engineers to protect the property and underground aquifers below the site. What assurances does the public have that any facility Steer develops would follow these same rigorous standards? Jim Slattery, Creemore.

The Creemore Echo • Friday, September 2, 2016 •
As readers may have seen in last week’s Echo , the Creemore Area Residents’Association (CARA) opposes the large industrial and commercial development proposed to be built on prime agricultural farmland at Cashtown Corners by Steer Enterprises. The new zoning being sought by Steer is to rezone a proposed severed portion of the property from the agricultural zone to the agriculturally related commercial exception (AGC-7) zone. CARA submits that the proposed zoning bylaw amendment and severance of part of this prime agricultural land are inappropriate and would not be good land use planning for this site at Cashtown Corners. This is an important land use issue. Clearview council is in the difficult position of having to find a balance between its clearly written and long term land use policies and support of a local business. CARA has always supported job creation and local economic development and supports the creation of eight new jobs in Clearview Township. CARA would be very pleased to see the expansion of Steer’s successful local business on suitable industrial or commercial lands in Clearview, ideally on serviced industrial land in the new Stayner Industrial Park, rather than on prime, unserviced agricultural land at the gateway to Creemore. Steer is a diesel engine, heavy truck and trailer repair centre. It presently operates a four-bay repair shop in Glen Huron, from which it also dispatches mobile service vehicles. The intent is to expand to a 10-bay repair facility, with a very large sales/service/parts building and 71 parking spots including parking for 30 large tractor-trailers. This is a 2.5 times increase in the number of repair bays at the current repair facility. The use of land, buildings or structures designed for the purpose of repairing goods, articles or things, as distinguished from the buying and selling of commodities and personal services, is an industrial use under Clearview’s zoning bylaw. The purpose of land use planning is to

guide existing and future development and use of land in order to protect key resources while ensuring efficient, effective development and preservation of our rural quality of life. Provincial Policy, the Simcoe Official Plan and the Clearview Official Plan all support restricting agricultural land to agricultural uses. Clearview’s Official Plan makes it very clear that standalone industrial uses shall not be permitted outside urban settlement areas or business parks. The requirements and principles in the current Clearview zoning bylaw do not support any industrial or commercial use at this site. Therefore, Steer must seek council approval of a zoning bylaw amendment. Municipalities do not have complete discretion when establishing their Official Plans for land use and the related zoning bylaws. Rather, they are subject to provincial policy, and must give public notice of proposed bylaw amendments so that input can be received. Specifically, the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014, (PPS) mandates that prime agricultural areas shall be protected for long term use for agriculture. The PPS defines agriculture-related uses as those farmrelated commercial and farm-related industrial uses that are directly related to farm operations in the area, support agriculture, benefit from being in close proximity to farm operations, and provide direct products and/or services to farm operations as a primary activity.” The PPS is very clear that nonagricultural uses in prime agricultural areas may only be considered when alternative locations have been evaluated and there are no reasonable alternative locations which avoid prime agricultural areas.

Clearview's Official Plan gives examples of permitted uses within agricultural lands, as follows: Permitted industrial and commercial uses shall be limited to those providing services or supplies to nearby agricultural operations, or which require proximity to the agricultural area for research purposes, including uses such as feed mills, seed cleaning plants, agricultural produce warehouses, abattoirs, greenhouses, cold storage and grain drying facilities, livestock assembly areas, veterinary clinics, animal hospitals, estate wineries, or similar agriculturally related businesses. The Clearview zoning bylaw defines agriculture-related uses as 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. This proposed expanded business does not fit within any of these definitions. The intended expanded business is not “small scale and directly related to the farm operation”, the intended use is not “limited to those providing services or supplies to nearby agricultural operations” and it will not be providing “direct products and/or services to farm operations as a primary activity”, all as required by the PPS, the Clearview Official Plan and the zoning bylaw. In the documents provided to date, Steer estimates that half its current business volume comes from production agriculture, agri-business, horticulture and forestry repairs and parts sales. Importantly, Steer has thereby admitted that at least half of the present business volume comes from other owners of diesel engines, heavy trucks and large tractor trailers, such as municipalities, fleets, owner operators and businesses with delivery trucks. Furthermore, neither Steer nor Steer’s expert planner, Christine Loft, have provided any evidence or opinions that the “primary activity” of the proposed expanded diesel engine, heavy truck and trailer repair business at the new site will be “directly related to farm operations”. Council and readers should question why this evidence of the intended primary land use of a greatly expanded business has not been provided. CARA realizes that Steer’s successful business includes servicing farmers in Clearview Township and also elsewhere in Simcoe, Dufferin and Grey counties.
This makes it clear that this industrial repair facility is not “required in close proximity to the farm operation”, which is part of the current land use rules in Clearview. As for Steer’s business with farmers, based on presentations made at the August 22 public meeting, CARA believes it is likely that many of these services are provided by Steer’s mobile parts and service units and therefore could be provided out of any industrial location in Clearview. To date, Steer has failed to provide evidence that there are “no reasonable alternative locations which avoid prime agricultural areas” before a nonagricultural use in prime agricultural areas can be considered, as also required by Provincial Policy. There is plenty of land in Clearview Township that is already designated in Clearview’s Official Plan and zoned for commercial or industrial use. One obvious preferred location is in Stayner, on County Road 91, west of Airport Road, where a number of commercial operations are already located. With wpd intent on constructing large industrial wind turbines on this county road, the addition of a nearby industrial/ commercial garage and repair facility would not be incompatible with the existing and proposed land uses in this part of the Clearview settlement area. A second obvious alternative is the new Stayner Industrial Business Park. In any event, under the Clearview Official Plan that was enacted for a 20-year period, this industrial/commercial facility must be in a settlement area or business park. CARA has additional concerns related to the increased traffic on Airport Road and with the aesthetics. Tourism is a major contributor to the economy of the local area. Replacing pristine farmland with a large industrial/ commercial facility and 30 parked large diesel trucks or truck trailers would be very unwise. To be clear, CARA applauds Steer and its owner for building a successful business in Glen Huron serving farmers and other large vehicle operators, and would like to see this business be even more successful. CARA supports the expansion of the business and the creation of eight additional jobs in Clearview Township, provided the expanded business is located on lands currently zoned for commercial or industrial uses and the new jobs do not require a noisy business to operate after 7 p.m.
Labour Day Waste Collection There will be NO CHANGE to your garbage, organics, and recycling collection day. Have materials at the curb by 7 a.m. on your regular day to ensure collection.

Be part of paper art installation
Liz Eakins is looking for community muscle power to handle the Weight of Paper. The local artist is looking to community members to help create elements for a paper art installation that will come together at Station on the Green in Creemore during the Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society’s Creemore Festival of the Arts on Oct. 1 and 2. The Weight of Paper, she said, is an art project that explores a conventional material in a contemporary installation. It examines the way we communicate and connect. It contrasts the ephemeral nature of paper with the permanent effect of what is written upon it. “I am incredibly excited about this upcoming project. I am looking forward to the community workshops and everyone working together to
build this curious installation,” said Eakins. “I am hoping people will be surprised and pleased with the end result.” Participants will be asked to create elements using mostly thread and paper. There will be a paper cascade and sculptures and local quilters have agreed to create a paper quilt. The pieces will be made of Japanese paper, shredded documents from local business and Creemore Echo newspapers. Workshops will be held at Station on the Green on Sunday, Sept. 18 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. (paper mache) and Thursday, Sept. 8 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. (paper sewing). Eakins is also available for one-on-one tutorials for people who can’t make it to the workshops. Contact 705-466-2680 or eakinsbruer@sympatico.ca.

Artist Liz Eakins visited Imaginarium Adventures in Arts this summer to create papier-mâché rocks which will be part of an installation at Station on the Green the weekend of October 1 and 2. This show, titled the Weight of Paper, is being organized by Purple Hills Arts and Heritage as part of the Small Halls Festival. Eakins hopes to engage as many people as possible in the project.
