The Creemore Legion held a roast beef dinner Oct. 15 to raise funds for 26 Stayner Collegiate Institute students who will be travelling to Arras, France in April 2017 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Pictured is the clean-up crew of students and teachers who are going on the trip.
Legion raises $4,200 for SCI Vimy trip The Creemore Legion Ladies Auxiliary hosted a fundraising dinner Oct. 15 for SCI students travelling to Europe in the spring to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. The dinner raised $4,200 for the trip. Legions in Creemore, New Lowell and Stayner donated the food, resulting in increased proceeds. Students set tables, peeled potatoes, made salad, served, cleared and washed dishes. While at the Creemore Legion,
students had an opportunity to view the archives of the Creemore Legion and learn about the contributions of our local veterans. While looking at the photos of veterans, many students were able to pick out family names that they recognized. “We would like to publicly thank everyone who contributed to this amazing community event,” said teacher coordinators Janice McLeod and Pam Jeffrey. “Special thank you to the Legions of Clearview Township, to Fox’s Bakery in Barrie for donating
all the buns, Maureen McLeod for her generous donation, Jim Henderson and chef Mark Madill who produced a delicious dinner, the bartenders, Jim and Dawn Richards, who donated their tips, the Ladies Auxiliary for their extraordinary community contributions, and a standing ovation for Dee Hanson for spearheading the event and being the driving force who helped us to raise over $4,000. Stayner Collegiate is proud to be a part of such a supportive and caring community.” (See “Fundraising” on page 3)
People report seeing scary clowns in area Police responded to a report from an elementary school in Stayner Oct. 20 that sometime between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. school staff saw two individuals dressed as clowns and told them to leave school property. “Huronia OPP warn, those who choose to dress in clown costumes with the intention to intimidate or scare others could be charged under the Criminal Code of Canada or under a Provincial Statute. Police are treating this phenomenon seriously and want
those who think this act is funny to know, it is not,” said police. Caledon police received a complaint at about 7 p.m. on Oct. 16 of a person dressed as a clown in a park near Mill View Court and Airport Rd., in the Town of Caledon. Two youths in the park reported being approached by a person dressed as a clown. The youth became scared and fled, they were not followed and there was no communication and contact between the youth and the person dressed as the clown. The

two youth reported to police that they believe that the person dressed as the clown may have been a teenager in disguise. No injuries were reported, but the two youths were reportedly shaken up by this occurrence. Recent events elsewhere in the Province, as well as in the United States, have been reported and in many cases have been found to be “pranks”. This type of behaviour is serious and those found to be responsible could be (See “Report” on page 3)

Coach's suspension extended, Siskins appeal by Alex Hargrave Stayner Siskins continue to cruise along in the Northern Conference of the Junior C hockey league beating everyone handily except against the Alliston Hornets, the defending league champions currently sitting undefeated in first place. Alliston has beaten the Siskins twice this season, 4-2, Sept. 16, and 5-1, Oct. 6. Stayner, 10-2-0, don’t play the Hornets again until Friday, Nov. 4. Since their last loss, Stayner has beaten Caledon, 6-4 and 7-4, Huntsville, 5-2, Midland 12-1, Penetang, 5-3, and Schomberg, 9-2. The rivalry against Alliston increased after the Oct. 6 game, a game that saw head coach Dave Steele lose his composure and be handed an eightgame suspension. The suspension was later increased and Stayner has appealed the suspension. On Friday, Oct. 28, the OHA will officially rule how many games Steele must serve not behind the bench. He has already sat out seven games. The reason why Steele was given the suspension was for some derogatory comments made towards an official. Siskins general manager Richard Gauthier said, “He made a mistake and you learn from your mistakes.” Since the out-of-control final period of the Alliston game, Jordan Taylor returned from a stint playing Junior B in Guelph and has clicked with linemates Ben Hughes and Zach Trott. Oct. 20, on home ice against Midland, Taylor earned nine points, assisting on eight, to out-point Trott and Hughes, who each had seven points from their four goals and three assists’ efforts. The

line accumulated a whopping 23 points in their 12-2 win. Not to take away from the other players, Ben Skuce, Michael Holmes and Sean Healy also notched tallies. The following night in Penetang, the 5-3 game, the Hughes-Trott-Taylor (HTT) line was once again important in the victory. Although Hughes was kept off the score sheet; Trott picked up two goals and an assist, while Taylor assisted on one. Holmes, Nolan King and Jackson Clarke also twinged the net’s meshing making it a complete team effort. JD Falconer assisted on three goals. Gauthier, who is handling the head coaching duties while Steele sits out, pointed out that the team is “offensively gifted” with “good goaltending” but the team is young and still learning. He was making reference to the team’s potent attack and for letting the Kings back in the game giving up three third period goals. In a Sunday matinee game 9-2 victory over Schomberg at Stayner, the HTT line was firing on all pistons. Hughes scored two goals and assisted on four, Trott earned two points from a goal and a helper; Taylor had a goal and two assists. Let’s be certain that this is not a one-line team. The entire team can put the puck in the net or play defence.
JD Falconer fired two pucks in the net, Skuce, Fischer, and Healy each got one. Healy, by the way had a three-point night. Team captain Kyle Lafreniere also had two points from a couple of assists. Gauthier said because five regular defenceman were out with injuries, “We had to put some forwards back on defence. They did pretty good at this level. Our guys have pretty good IQs. “We have a good core of guys,” he added. “No egos.” Stayner goalies Allan Menary and Hayden Ford both played very well in the three games. Menary was between the pipes for the Penetang and Midland games. Alliston’s Ryan Young leads the league in scoring with 30 points followed closely behind by Stayner’s Hughes with 29 points form 12 goals and 10 assists. Trott, JD Falconer, and Taylor are also among the league’s top 10 scorers with 23, 21, and 18 points, respectively. This Sunday, Stayner plays the Golden Hawks in Caledon, return home Thursday to host the Penetang Kings and on Friday, Nov. 3 the team gets another shot at Alliston in a game played there. Gauthier concluded, “To beat the best you’ve got to play better.”
Fundraising continues

(Continued from page 1) SCI students in Grades 9-12 will travel to Northern France next April to mark the anniversary, by way of Amsterdam and en route to London, England. Along with students from other area high schools, the SCI delegation will depart April 5, 2017, beginning their tour in Amsterdam with a visit to the Anne Frank House and the Jewish Museum, then travel to the Vimy region to take part in the 100th anniversary commemorative activities. They will visit the Wellington Quarries before crossing the English Channel from Calais and on to London to see the sights, like Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus and St. Paul’s Cathedral. The cost of the trip is about $3,700 per student. The school is fundraising with the hope of covering additional costs for transportation and supply teachers, which adds up to about $9,000. The school is also selling windshield washer fluid for $4 per jug or $15 for a case of four. People are welcome to visit the school during regular hours to purchase the washer fluid and call 705-428-2639 for sponsorship opportunities.
Council approves Stayner busing contract
Report clown sightings
Clearview council approved a sixmonth contract with Sinton Bus Lines Monday for a Stayner bus that will connect with transit in Wasaga Beach. CAO Steve Sage said the exact route and bus stops would be finalized on Oct. 31. He is negotiating with Wasaga Beach regarding potential routing into the Wasaga Sands subdivision. The six-month trial will begin on Nov. 21. According to the agreement, Clearview will pay $45.23 per hour of operation and $40 per day for the rental of the bus. Sage said Sinton is loaning the township a bus for the trial period

Police would like to remind all residents that these types of incidents are taken seriously by police and will be investigated. Pranks put an unnecessary strain on police resources. The police would like the community to be aware of these types of incidents and if it is not an emergency to contact OPP at 1-888-310-1122. If it is an emergency, call 911. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
but they are not interested in renting long-term. In the 2016 budget, council approved $82,500 for a six-month bus service and is considering adding $120,000 to the 2017 budget for the purchase of a bus, should council decide to continue the transit service after the six-month trial. The bus can be purchased with money from the gas tax refund program but the money can’t be used for the operation of the transit system, said Sage. Bus fare will be $2 but people will be able to ride for free during the first two weeks of operation.

Opinion Editorial
Giving clowns a bad name The scary clown craze we have been hearing so much about has hit home. Area police recently reported sightings in Stayner and Caledon, adding to the growing terror. Since August there have been a growing number of reports of creepy clowns standing under streetlamps or standing on roadsides. Some of them are reported to be carrying bats, knives or axes but for the most part they are using their mere presence to terrify people. There has been little physical violence associated with the clown sightings, but there is emotional violence. People are terrified of not only the clowns but even the potential of seeing the clowns. The worldwide phenomenon has created a sense of apprehension, which as Hitchcock knows is the best thrill of all. The scary clown craze does not bode well for legitimate clowns though. Many happy clowns are reporting that they are experiencing a negative spin-off effect, while costume stores that can’t stock enough clown costumes are giggling all the way to the bank. Even Ronald McDonald isn’t cheerful enough to rise above the trend. His handlers have limited his public appearances, until this all blows over. You know it’s real when Ronny is intimidated. That dude is tall and has really big shoes. There are theories that it could be a marketing scheme, perhaps related to the promotion of the new movie, It, but even Stephen King has tweeted about it, trying to calm people. Whatever prompted the craze, it has grown due to copycats who are looking to get in on the action. And that is the scariest part of this whole story. These things always start out as thrilling to those who appreciate a bit of the macabre, but they just end up being sad because of those who take it too far. Many people have said if they ever see one of these clowns they would run them over or attack them. There are also online groups that advocate hunting down the creepy clowns. The threat of violence and intimidation is bringing out the violent tendencies in their victims and that could go wrong. In the United States, there are people facing felony charges for making a terrorist threat connected to clown-related activity but we are expecting, before this is over there may be a report of a motorist facing charges of clown-related vehicular manslaughter. We all need to keep this clown craze in perspective. One would think there is nothing illegal about standing on a street corner dressed as a clown but the police seem to disagree. They say these people, those not armed, can be charged with something as minor as mischief. In many places, clowns are being banned this Halloween but, for those who love Halloween, the creepy clowns add to the thrill of the holiday. People pay big bucks for this kind of thrill. There is no shortage of ways to spend money on getting a not-always-cheap thrill. No, it’s not funny, it’s terrifying and that’s why people are talking about it. Some people are out to scare, but there is no denying that some people like a little scare, especially at Halloween.

The Way we were
When the Denison boys returned home from the Second World War, a big party was thrown for them in Avening. This photo of the Denison brothers, Jack and Vern, horsing around, is from Lorna Denison's album, submitted by Steve Morby.
Early values test would have solved some problems Editor: Although I am a month late to the gate to comment on the Canadian values issue, in my defence the radio in my planet-warming VW Golf TDI quit about two months ago. Waiting politely for VW to ratify a US equivalent buy-out of this cloud-based Mexican-built, German-designed, sucker-driven Ottomobile I haven’t been listening to CBC or anything else for that matter. My commuting time is when I catch up on the news and I have been driving my new electric Zero motorcycle, which has no radio. Thankfully, as my friend MK says, these are all first world problems. At a recent dinner party I was asked what I thought of the Canadian values proposal. Not knowing the context I immediately thought of ice fishing, moose hunting, Hudson Bay blankets, and Robertson screwdrivers, all of which I value quite highly as a Canadian. Once brought up to speed, my initial response was that it was a little too late to impose some filter on who gets to come to Canada. The First Nations people should have been standing on the shores of the country with a questionnaire on Birch bark with some cryptic pictographs asking questions of the smelly, waterlogged Samuel de Champlain or John Cabot: Is your intention to live at peace with nature and share your smelly women? Do you have any intention of clear-cutting forests and strip-mining mineral resources to exhaustion?
How do you feel about venison medallions in a blueberry-juniper reduction? Do those blankets have small pox on them? Would you like fries with your pemmican? How do you feel about us taking your smelly children away and sending them to a school to live where they can learn to read these pictographs and hopefully take a friggin’ bath once in a while? Would you like some tobacco? So it’s a little too late for all that, but in our defence we finally did get ourselves on top of our hygiene issues and we love the tobacco. Having watched Dr. Leitch in a candidate’s debate for the previous election, I was underwhelmed by her showing and observed a candidate reading from a script book with no legitimate position of her own. I did not vote for her in that election, because Brian Mulroney had destroyed any conservative leaning that I had inherited from my parents, not because I guessed that she was a Harper puppet. In fact, as misguided as her Canadian values ideas seem to me, I must admit that I was wrong and that she does have her own opinions. I just happen to disagree with this particular opinion. I see Canadian values as a cultural lifestyle which is irresistible when it is at its best and self-serving, arrogant and ignorant (if one person were to define that value list) at its worst. Murray Lackie, Creemore.

Promoting well-being in Simcoe County schools by Annie Chandler The Simcoe County District School Board is paying attention to the importance of staff and student wellbeing, so much in fact that the upcoming November PD day will focus on mental health and wellness. In addition, the board, after much input from trustees, accessed an additional $300,000 from reserve funds, to be distributed to our schools over the next three years to be used for new curriculum and release time for school mental health teams to meet and learn about embedding daily mindfulness exercises into the regular day. I would like to share some statistics taken from the 2015 Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey, which outlines the percentage of students in Ontario and in Simcoe County who are experiencing mental health issues and how these numbers are increasing. Keep in mind these statistics only reflect the reported cases as we all know that there are many students who do not come forward to seek help. Also keep in mind that the Simcoe County numbers quoted here are consistent and not higher than other Boards in the Province. • 17 per cent of students rate their mental health as fair or poor. This has increased dramatically during the past 10 years (11 per cent in 2007). • 22 per cent of students visited a health care professional (doctor, nurse, counsellor, etc.) for a mental health matter at least once during the past year. • 34 per cent of students report moderate-to-serious levels of psychological stress (i.e. anxiety and/
or depression) and 14 per cent report a serious level of psychological distress. • 12 per cent of students have experienced serious thoughts of suicide in the past year and three per cent report a suicide attempt in the past year. Our elementary teachers are implementing a program called “MindUP”, (www.thehawnfoundation. org,) which offers easy strategies for helping students focus their attention, improve self-regulation skills, build resilience to stress, and develop a positive mind-set in both school and life. The lessons teach students about their brain and why they might sometimes feel angry, sad or even anxious. If we can foster this kind of learning in elementary school it will hopefully prevent issues from growing and manifesting into allconsuming difficulties at the secondary school level. Our schools are working to embed stress reducing, calming exercises into the day such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. If you have any expertise in this area contact your local school as they would gladly welcome support in this area. As a parent, continue to check in on your student by asking questions like, “What did you find hard to understand today?” It encourages problem solving together. Once again, don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or the school’s guidance department if you have a concern. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 705-229-6217 or email achandler@ trustee.scdsb.on.ca.

by Trina Berlo “Brush up your Shakespeare, start quoting him now. Brush up your Shakespeare and the women you will wow.” So states Cole Porter’s Brush Up Your Shakespeare , from the 1948 musical Kiss Me, Kate. It is the namesake of a live performance of Shakespeare, written and directed by Jim Harkness, for a one night only production. It’s neither a play nor a revue, said Harkness. There are no costumes and no sets but there is a roster of orators who will help you brush up on your Shakespeare. The show starts with Harkness reciting a romantic poem by Andrew Marvell to his love interest, played by Cyndy Reycraft. She spurns him because it’s not Shakespeare and in sweeps Ken Robertson sings Brush Up Your Shakespeare. “You wouldn’t necessarily have heard it and that’s why I am doing this. I think these things aren’t being heard up here,” said Harkness. He also wanted to present something new, under the Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society banner. “As in a real Shakespeare play there was often comic asides to relieve the heaviness of the evening,” said Harkness. “So we have an absurd side plot running parallel to the main narrative.” Reycraft, Robertson and other locals will join Harkness on stage for those scenes. They set up excerpts from Shakespeare’s work, mainly the history plays. A cast of mainly local people will take the stage during the Nov. 12 production including Dan Needles, Tim Armour, Jim McPherson and Dorothy Shropshire, among others. For example, McPherson will read

Jim Harkness has enlisted members of the community for a presentation of Brush Up Your Shakespeare, one night only, on Nov. 12. the Barge Speech from Antony and Cleopatra, Shropshire will read the Seven Ages of Man from As You Like It and Armour will recite the St. Crispin’s Day Speech from Henry V. Every recital will be followed by the projection of a professional performance of the same piece, including actors such as Patrick Stewart and Peter Sellers. “They will bring their own sensitivity to it and their own dimension to it, which might make it in fact, through their amateurishness, even better than a professional actor,” said Harkness. “Maybe the amateur might carry it off better than the professional for reasons you may never have guessed… Maybe because they bring a certain homespun sensitivity, a primitive thinking versus a polished thinking.” Harkness said he is a student of Shakespeare but doesn’t take a highly scholarly approach to the material. It will be somewhat casual as far as stage productions go and lightly rehearsed. “It could be raw and entertaining, but it won’t be brilliant,” said Harkness.
“It’s more of an emotional thing. I am not an academic. Thank God. I am glad I don’t know too much about Shakepseare or I would make it too academic and everybody would definitely fall asleep.” Instead of reciting Shakespeare, Needles will be talking about his father William Needles, one of Canada’s best-known Shakespearean actors. He was a member of the Stratford Festival company since it started in 1953. Over 47 seasons, he performed in more than 100 productions and also performed on Broadway before retiring from the stage in 2006. He died in January of this year. Tickets cost $15 in advance at The Creemore Echo , Curiosity House Books, and online at www.ticketscene. ca/events/16513. Tickets cost $20 at the door. The show is on Saturday, Nov. 12 at Station on the Green, located at 10 Caroline St. in Creemore. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.

in memoriams Denison, Lorna Marie February 12, 1928 - October 29, 2015 Your Final Day: Your radio played “How Great Thou Art” As you opened your eyes To take one last look The angels came as you prepared to part Your pain was gone A new beginning to start. We touched your face and held your hand But God decided it was time to go, A special gift was on its way The day God took Mom away. Loving you, missing you and remembering you always, Charlie and Joann Wyant Jeremy, Sherry and Abbey Wyant Denison, Lorna 1928-2015 The moment that you left me, my heart was split in two. One side was filled with memories, the other side died with you. I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day. But missing you is a heartache that never goes away. We love you Gigi. XO Steve, Kim, Chris, Dawn Morby

Bednarek, Frank – October 30,2014 We think of you today, Yesterday and days before too. We wish Heaven had a phone So we could hear your voice again. We think of you in silence And often speak your name. Oh, we have the precious memories And photos in frames, These are our keepsakes For which we’ll never part. God has you in His arms And we have you in our hearts. Loving remembered, Sandra, David, Rose, Brandon, and Jason. Morby, Norman – October 27, 2008. A beautiful memory, dearer than gold, Of a father whose worth Can never be told, There’s a place in our hearts That no one can fill, We miss you, Dad, And always will. Dayle, Kevin, Jenna & Riley, Dean, Melissa, Justin, Jessica & Jayden. Gale, Sylvia – 1938-2013 During the day I can keep you at bay And carry on. But as the night falls My thoughts & heart belong to you. Happy Birthday my Love, Warren Gale, Sylvia (Jordan/Grant) Nov 2, 1938 – Nov 2, 2013 You are tucked into a corner Of our hearts Like a flame that comforts and nourishes our soul No matter what sh*t show We are in the middle of. Happy Birthday Mom. Sharon, Terry, Carol & Laurie Gale, Sylvia – In memory of Mom, Nov. 2, 2013 We miss you in so many ways. We miss the things you used to say And when old times we do recall It’s then we miss you most of all. Love Louie & Ron. Dunn, George – March 4, 1939-Oct. 30, 2014 Two long years have gone by. No words I write can even say how much I miss you. I lost my husband, my best friend and soul mate, George. It broke our hearts to see you go. But you will always be in our thoughts and some day we will be together again. Sadly missed but not forgotten, your wife, daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchild.

HOSPITAL HERO [hos-pi-tl] [heer-oh]
A person or organization who is admired or idealized for hosting an event that will bring funds to purchase much needed equipment for their local hospital. Synonyms: lead, star
This year was a big one at the Collingwood G&M Hospital Foundation. We are thankful for all of those individuals and organizations who became a Hospital Hero by hosting events in support of our hospital. Over the past year the Hospital Heroes have raised over $89,000. These funds were used to purchase new equipment for the Collingwood G&M Hospital and to help with the Emergency Department renovations. The Hospital Heroes donations will continue to make a huge impact to healthcare in our community! To all of our Hospital Heroes: your investment is much appreciated not only by all the medical staff, but also by the patients who benefit from those improvements. Thank you!
