Wind turbine opponents win appeal

The Stayner Siskins welcomed the Scott family to the Oct. 6 home opener for the ceremonial puck drop in memory of their son, the late Troy Scott, a former APM Siskin player. Steve, Julie and Kristen were also presented with a Siskins jersey signed by all players. That night, the Siskins donned their new uniforms for the first time.

Siskins coach gets eight-game suspension at home opener

by Alex Hargrave Stayner Siskins head coach Dave Steele lost his cool a week ago Thursday against Alliston Hornets.

The red-hot coach got an eightgame suspension for his temper. The team lost 5-1.

The game was a close match until the third period. Stayner only trailed 1-0 but Alliston filled the net with four third period goals to change the game’s mood.

After many penalties were called, a melee broke out near the game’s end.

Steele became enraged and was given a one-game suspension for abuse of an official. This only made him hotter and he muttered some remarks, which cost him seven games.

Lucas Jeffery scored Stayner’s only goal.

On Sunday, with Siskins general manager Richard Gauthier behind the bench, Stayner beat Caledon 6-4.

Caledon led 2-1 after two periods, only Sean Healy could beat the Golden Hawks goaltender Andrew

Ireland on a power play.

The third period was a different story. Healy got his second goal, Austin Fischer added two, and Ben Skuce netted the winner with a little over three minutes remaining in the game.

Caledon made the game interesting with a power play marker at 19:02; J.D. Falcon put the game out of reach with an empty netter.

Stayner played Caledon again last night and are in Huntsville tonight.

Midland comes to town Thursday.

by Trina Berlo A tribunal has found wind turbines to be located near two aerodromes threaten the health and safety of pilots and bats.

In February, wpd Fairview Wind received approval from the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) to erect eight 500-foot wind turbines in Clearview Township. An appeal filed by John Wiggins, Gail and Kevin Elwood, Preserve Clearview, Clearview Township, the Town of Collingwood and the County of Simcoe triggering a tribunal which was held in Collingwood, beginning in May. Appeals were allowed on the grounds that the project would cause serious harm to human health and serious and irreversible harm to plant life, animal life and the natural environment.

In an order delivered Oct. 7 by Dirk Vanderbent and Hugh Wilkins, the tribunal found that appellants and their expert witnesses were able to show that based on flight patterns for take-offs and landings, the wind turbines pose a threat to the safety of aircraft operators.

“The safety concern expressed by Mr. Elwood, and the other appellants, relates to the proximity of all eight wind turbines to the take-off, transition and approach surfaces for the Clearview runway,” states the order.

Wind turbines 1 and 3 through 8 are all in close proximity to the centre of the Clearview runway, all within 15 seconds of flight time to the centre line of the flight path.

Given evidence presented at the hearing, that there is an unacceptable safety risk with respect to wind turbines 3 and 7, as planes taking off or landing at the Clearview runway would be flying in the turbulence zone at a (See “Tribunal” on page 3)

Tribunal finds wind turbines threaten pilots, bats (Continued from page 1) distance of just three rotor diameters of one or the other of these wind turbines, the director of the MOECC withdrew support for turbines 3 and 7.

“The Health Test has been met in respect of the current operations at Collingwood Regional Airport and Clearview [aerodrome], and that the Approval Holder ’s proposed mitigation measures in respect of both aerodromes will not significantly reduce the likelihood that such harm will occur, or, if there is some reduction in the likelihood of harm, the reduction is not to a degree that would result in the Health Test not being met, the Tribunal finds that the appellants have met their onus to establish that the Health Test has been met in respect of the project’s effects on persons using

both aerodromes.”

The first 65 pages of the 85-page order are dedicated to the technicalities of flight.

With respect to the bats, the tribunal found “over the lifespan the project, it is more likely than not that the project will cause serious harm to the local population of little brown myotis from which it will not recover and cannot be reversed. Therefore, without additional mitigation measures in place, the Tribunal finds that engaging in the Project in accordance with the REA will cause irreversible harm to little brown myotis.”

The tribunal has allowed for a further hearing to consider remedial options.

The order states, “Given the volume of evidence adduced, and the fact that

many of the issues in this proceeding have not been addressed in detail in previous renewable energy appeal proceedings, the Tribunal is prepared to provide an opportunity for the parties to make further submissions on appropriate remedies, should the Approval Holder or the Director request such an opportunity.”

Next steps in the appeal have yet to be determined.

“The ERT has some concerns with aspects of the REA application as presented, and is giving wpd an opportunity to provide remedy to alleviate those concerns. We’ve only received the decision [Friday], so we’ll take some time to review the decision and consult with our legal team on what our next steps will be,” said wpd spokesperson Kevin Surette.

Seniors housing proponents conduct needs survey A group working to set up seniors housing in Creemore is conducting a survey to gauge local interest.

The two-page survey, aimed at people 58 and older, asks what people are looking for in terms of housing.

Last year, Creemore resident Wendy Schellenberg spearheaded the formation of the St. John’s Creemore Senior Citizens Foundation, a notfor-profit organization to oversee the creation of the seniors’ apartment complex. They had their eye on a Francis Street property but a deal wasn’t reached so they continue to look. Schellenberg worked as the administrator for a seniors’ housing project in Mount Albert.

The idea at the time was to build 1416 units in a two-storey building with one- and two-bedroom apartments that would be between 780 and 1,000 square feet. A meeting was held last summer and there was a lot of interest from the community.

The needs and demand survey is required as part of a process of applying for seed money through the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Schellenberg said the seed grant secured earlier in the process was forfeited in favour of this new process, which could result in more assistance for start up costs, because the government is now providing more funding for housing.

She said the county did a needs and demand housing study in 2007. At that time there was a need for 126 units in Clearview Township by 2018. She said obviously that won’t happen and that number is even higher now.

The survey must be completed by Oct. 25. Copies are available at the library, Affairs, TD Bank, Creemore Village Pharmacy, Curiosity House Book Store and The Creemore Echo, or by calling Wendy Schellenberg at 705-466-5221.

Opinion Check the date

North American-wide theme of this year’s Fire Prevention Week Oct. 9-15 is, “Don’t Wait! Check The Date – Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years.”

This year’s theme addresses one of the biggest consumer unknowns, say fire officials, that smoke and carbon monoxide alarms don’t last forever.

Some homeowners, especially those with hardwired smoke or combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, believe they never need to be replaced. This is a potentially very dangerous oversight.

“Smoke alarms double your family’s chance of a safe escape, but to provide that critical early warning, they need to be installed in the correct locations and be in proper working order,” says Carol Heller, a home safety specialist with smoke and carbon monoxide alarm manufacturer, Kidde Canada.

Heller points out that even if an alarm sounds when you push its “test” button, this only means the circuits are working and power is getting to the unit.

It doesn’t mean the alarm’s sensors are operating at optimal sensitivity.

After being exposed to years of dust, cooking grime, pet fur, and other airborne contaminants, an alarm’s sensors may be affected, possibly slowing the alarm’s reaction time.

That’s why the NFPA recommends that if your smoke alarm is more than 10 years old or you can’t remember its age, replace it immediately. This goes for both hardwired and battery powered alarms. For CO alarms, replace any made prior to 2009.

Latest-generation technology can help with remembering to replace alarms and eliminating another common annoyance — having to replace the batteries. Current “Worry-Free” alarms have a sealed 10-year lithium battery that never needs replacing for the life of the alarm.

Unfortunately, county only awarded $5,000 in costs Editor: Once again I find myself writing in regard to the letter to the editor by Donna Baylis in Last week’s Echo. I don’t wish to banter back and forth in the Echo, however I do find it necessary to provide the correct information on this issue.

Throughout the entire process all parties were quite aware of who the registered owner of the property was, which has no relevance on granting a permit to cut trees. This is and still remains private property and only the butternut tree is a protected species not the entire forest.

Although the owner (Tecumseth Estates) had filed an application for “Plan for Subdivision” quite sometime in the past (this is common practice when developers buy multiple acres of property), this does not in any way guarantee development will happen. The said property did not have an approved site plan and as a matter of fact the property lies outside the development area and is zoned agricultural and would not be eligible for development under the current municipal and county

Official Plans and provincial land use regulations.

The application for subdivision was withdrawn as a condition set by the county prior to issuing the tree-cutting permit in March of 2015, long before AWARE Simcoe filed their appeal. Other conditions of the permit included reduced size of the cutting area, Environmental Impact Study and replanting of some Butternut Trees. All governing parties, New Tecumseth Planning, Simcoe County Planning, NVCA, Ministry of Natural Resources agreed to the conditions of the permit. The purpose of the tree cutting was to enable the landowner to expand agricultural operations on the property. The landowner met all the conditions of the permit prior to commencing the cut.

AWARE Simcoe filed their appeal against the County and injunction against the landowner after the public hearings of April 14, 2015 and May 12, 2015 when county council voted to remove the second stop work order.

AWARE Simcoe’s injunction to stop the tree cutting was denied by Justice Eberhard who concluded that the

county had not acted improperly and it was at this time that AWARE Simcoe abandoned their appeal against Simcoe County.

I will confirm county’s legal expense was $23,485 and county did apply for total cost recovery that was incurred due to the legal actions of AWARE Simcoe.

Unfortunately, Justice Eberhard only awarded the county $5,000 in costs leaving a balance of $18,485 to be burdened to the taxpayer, thanks to AWARE Simcoe.

We are yet to collect the $5,000 court-ordered money owing to the county.

I find it quite ironic that Ms. Baylis criticizes county for willing to contribute the recovered funds towards tree planting in the area.

Simcoe County Forests is the largest municipal forest in the province in access of 32,000 acres, which is well managed and produces over $1 million a year in revenues. Perhaps AWARE Simcoe members could write something positive about that.

Santa obviously knew a good place to shop for toys

by Helen Blackburn When my sister and I were little, we listened to Santa Claus live from the North Pole on CFRB radio at 6 p.m. during December.

The program began with the song, “Toyland, joy land good little girl and boy land.” Santa told us that he had a wonderful Toyland at the North Pole but we knew that the W.A. May Hardware and Gift shop in Creemore had a far better Toyland at the back of the store. We spent many Saturday afternoons admiring the toys and deciding what we would like best from Santa. And Santa wisely did a little shopping at the May store. He obviously knew a good place to shop for toys. The May store is long gone and now Creemore Springs Brewery has taken over the building.

Mr. and Mrs. May knew they were providing an excellent source of goods and services for the local people but I wonder if they knew the happiness they brought to the children.

W.A. May died in 1942 and the following is his obituary that appeared in a Creemore Star.

“W.A. May died at his home in Creemore at 9 a.m. Tuesday morning, December 8, in his 85th year.

WA May “He had been gradually failing for the past month but was never confined to bed. Monday he was up as usual and had risen on Tuesday morning and was washing himself when the seizure took place. It can truthfully be said that he died on his feet.

“Mr. May, who was born at Cannington, first came to Creemore in 1881. He established a tinsmithing and

hardware business, which he handled successfully for over 61 years. In 1882 he married Sarah Ellen Christian of Port Perry who proved a wonderful helpmate. She predeceased him in April 1938.

“The young businessman did not always have smooth sailing. His first store was wiped out by fire in 1888. He had vision and determination because he right away decided to rebuild. The splendid brick block, which replaced his original store, was a gigantic effort but it fulfilled his ambition that was to have the best hardware store in any small town in Ontario.

“Mr. May had faith in Creemore and was ever ready to boost any project that was for the good and welfare of the village. He gave liberally and justly earned ability to civic enterprises, served in various capacities without reward. He was a member of St. Luke’s Anglican church and its interests were his interests. He gave liberally and justly earned the gratitude of the Rector and church officials. He belonged to several fraternal organizations.

He was a charter member of Nitetis Masonic Lodge, serving as treasurer of the Lodge since it was instituted

45 years ago.

“Mr. May is survived by three sons and two daughters: William I., with the Canadian Oil Co., Toronto; Harris is at Lethbridge, Alberta, and Arthur is the manager of the business in Creemore; Florence and Nellie are also associated with the business in Creemore. He is also survived by one brother, Mr. George May of Winnipeg, and a niece, Miss Annie Craige, who has made her home with him for the past five years.”

Thanks to Paul Vorstermans, who has spent considerable time searching through old Creemore Stars, we have a little information about how Mr. May survived the burning of his business in 1888. However it is not clear where he set up business.

The ads in the paper tantalizingly remark that he is one door south of Dr. Fisher’s residence.

We don’t know where that could be. In August 1889 it was reported, “May’s new building [was] going rapidly ahead. The brickwork [was] about finished and the plastering [had] begun.”

The reporter reflected that, “It has a very good general appearance and will be one of the best constructed buildings in the village.”

Spacial disorientation, turbines deadly mix for pilots Editor: After watching the Mayday program recently on TV, it is shocking to discover that since the John Kennedy deadly crash that killed three people it was decided that more aviation focus is to be put on this phenomenon known as spacial disorientation to train new pilots.

The expert team of investigators concluded that John Kennedy, flying in dense foggy haze and unfortunately, one number out on his radio weather station became spatially disoriented.

He did not have enough experience to understand that when his brain and

senses told him the opposite, that he must trust and use his instruments and level out!

Instead it is concluded that he “felt and believed that his instruments were wrong and not working properly.”

This is classic spacial disorientation and behaviour with the deadly results that followed.

Visual flying at both of our Collingwood Regional Airport and the Clearview Aerodrome is standard.

Pilots are at risk of bad weather situations and low ceilings coming off Georgian Bay. There are times when they have to

Local Church

force themselves not to listen to their own brain and senses and instead force themselves, against their very nature to correct to level flight by believing their altimeter.

Whether a pilot flies downward straight into the ocean believing he/ she is flying level or descends into a giant structure while believing he/she is beyond it is too great an inevitability that is sure to kill our young pilots in training and even experienced pilots with passengers that have never had to deal with such deadly obstacles as huge 50-storey tall wind turbines.

Forced by sudden bad weather as is typical off Georgian Bay, to land while knowing that there is a cluster of deadly obstacles out there but not being able to see them is a catastrophe waiting to happen.

Amazingly, our Ministry that approved this project in the middle of two airports in Collingwood /Stayner is asking our pilots and all pilots flying into our airports to constantly play Russian roulette!

This point needs to be driven home to the public that flies. The public has a right to know of this dangerous situation that is playing out in the Environmental Review Tribunal now, whereby a politically motivated mandate and non pilots find themselves in this ludicrous position of having to make the decision of ruling this approval to stand or to repeal this approval that never should have been approved in the first place.

Surely common sense would apply precautionary principle.

by Trina Berlo Clearview council aired concerns about the mayor’s town hall meetings at its Sept. 26 meeting.

The first mayor’s town hall meetings report to council was on the agenda that night. The mayor has been holding town hall meeting in the various communities of Clearview since late last year.

On July 18, Councillor Deborah Bronée brought forward a motion, which carried, directing staff to compile a summary of each town hall meeting and report to Council for consideration and consultation.

She said the intention was to have a record of what issues are being raised and what follow up occurs, to know how to shape policies and procedures.

“We are really good at gathering information but we are not doing anything,” said Bronée.

Mayor Chris Vanderkruys said some concerns are directed to staff and some end up at the council table.

Resident input at a town hall meeting did result in a council decision to install a three-way stop in Nottawa this summer after it was brought to the table by Deputy Mayor Barry Burton.

Councillor Thom Paterson questioned the process.

“It’s starting to look like a little bit of executive management by the mayor,” he said.

Councillor Kevin Elwood took the opportunity to voice his concerns.

“Seeing that we are doing the laundry, I am not in support of the mayor’s meetings,” he said, adding things should be addressed at regular council meetings.

“The mayor never asked council if they supported it or wanted to participate,” said Elwood. “I don’t see any need for it and it’s not a good use of staff resources.”

“I disagree,” said Vanderkruys, “I promised it

Mansfield Women’s Institute celebrates 70 years of service

by Isabel Ireland During the war years, Mansfield community had a very active Red Cross. With the end of the Second World War, there was a void as there was no longer the same need for the ladies to help the Red Cross support the soldiers.

With this great community foundation, Eleanor Greer was instrumental in introducing the Women’s Institute to the ladies and on May 14, 1946 she invited the ladies to her home and thus Mansfield Women’s Institute (WI) began. Soon after our women’s Institute organized evenings of fellowship and a kitchen shower for the new immigrants and also for two war brides.

You can tell that the ladies’ generosity continued on.

Over the years, the Mansfield WI was very supportive of community needs and enrichment, just like our sister branches. I must add that in recent years, our branch was successful in bringing a street light to Airport Road and Mulmur 17, the traffic lights at Mansfield and no-charge calling between Alliston and Shelburne telephone exchanges and there are many more worthwhile success stories; another being a strong supporter of the Dufferin County Museum when it moved to Mulmur in the 1990s. Some of our ladies dressed in period costume and spent many days quilting, not only as a demonstration but also making quilts to raise funds.

The Mansfield community has a rich history of a July 1 baseball tournament in our local park. The WI was always there to provide a food booth. It was not only a homecoming for many people who returned for the special event, it was always a successful fundraiser for the local WI branch. The popular menu was sandwiches, hotdogs and homemade pies. Although today we do not have the ball tournaments, the ladies continue to get together to celebrate Canada Day at the park pavilion, around a kitchen table or at a local restaurant, standing proud for Canada has always been

Tribute to Elvis, Roy Orbison in Creemore Sunday They say he is the full package when it comes to The King, he has the looks, the moves and the voice.

International award-wining Elvis tribute artist Garry Wesley is performing in Creemore this weekend.

Wesley has performed throughout the United States, Canada, Australia and South America and produces his own shows for Legends Alive.

He has won a number of awards and accolades at Elvis tribute contests, fan clubs, the city of Memphis where he is the only tribute artist to perform during Elvis Week for the past 25 years.

According to his website, “Elvis Presley was the greatest entertainer that has ever lived, and Garry has captured the passion and charisma that made Elvis the legend he is.

Garry not only bears a striking resemblance to Elvis but he has perfected those famous gyrating moves. His impeccable voice will stun you. Garry Wesley is the total package and closer than the closest you will ever experience.”

Ian Roy, singing the songs of Roy Orbison.

Roy began performing as a karaoke singer until he got his first booking in 2004. Since then, Roy has performed at various venues all over southern Ontario, sharing the stage with many award winning tribute entertainers.

He has won multiple vocal awards at many talent shows.

He enjoys singing songs from artists of the 1950s and 1960s and his multi-octave vocal range makes him particularly suited to perform Roy Orbison songs. He is so convincing that many have wondered if he is

miming. He cut his first CD in 2014.

The tribute to Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison is at the Creemore Legion on Sunday, Oct. 16. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $20 and are available at the door or by calling 705-466-2202. The Legion is located at 27 Wellington St.

5th annual Star Wars Reads Day at Stayner library

by Michele McKenzie Once upon a time in a public library in a galaxy far, far away... or so the story will start at high noon Saturday at the Stayner Branch of the Clearview Public Library.

Please join all the fun as we host our 5th annual Star Wars Reads Day by celebrating all things “Star Wars”. Chat with interplanetary guests, play galactic games and enjoy some stellar cake as we launch our participation with a variety of events in honour of Ontario Public Library Week.

During Oct. 16-22, make a point of visiting your favorite branch to see what is new, what remains classic and what action is taking place. We have a new brand that we will be rolling

out and there may be more news about the new site coming soon to the Stayner Community Hall. All of our fall programs for babies, children, teens and adults are now in full swing at all three branches and details of a very full schedule can be found on our website or in our newsletter.

On Wednesday, Oct. 18, we will be serving coffee and talking about our Twiddlemuff project in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Simcoe County. Drop in and meet up with fellow crafters who like to knit, crochet and sew and learn how you can take part in this worthy project. (At this time, we are accepting donations of yarn and needles and bits ‘n’ bobs like beads, buttons and zippers to attachC to

twiddle/fiddle.) We will be polling at this time to see if there is interest in holding a regular crafting program on a weekly basis so please let us know what you think of this idea.

The highlight of this week in celebrating and showcasing what can be found in your public library is the eighth Annual Georgian Bay Reads event that will be taking place at the Meaford Hall (12 Nelson Street East) on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. This is sure to be one of the swankiest literary events this fall. creemore-detailing-business Come out and cheer on our very own Helena Hayward as she defends

They Left Us Everything by Plum Johnson against The Manticore by Robertson Davies (Collingwood), Half Blood Blues by Esi Edugyan (Wasaga Beach), The High Mountains of Portugal by Yann Martel (Meaford) and Etta and Otto and Russell and James by Emma Hooper (Springwater). These five titles are all wonderful books but only one will remain standing at the end of the night as the one book to read this winter. Which one will it be?
