Farms for Change raises more than $100,000 by Trina Berlo The New Farm has combined the best in cuisine and live music, nourishing over the years an annual event that satisfies both the foodie and the music fan. The hot-ticket Farms for Change event promises a chance to taste some of the best food around, served at stations set up on the organic farm located near Dunedin. Hosts Gillian Flies and Brent Preston welcomed close to 900 guests to The New Farm June 10 for the ninth annual concert in the barn, this year with Joel Plaskett and his band The Emergency. Great food and live music in a beautiful rural setting (maybe even a celebrity sighting) gives Farms for Change its cachet and every year people hustle for tickets. The event has evolved out of Grow For The Stop, which started as a fundraiser to supply produce to The Stop Community Food Centre in Toronto, and has become just as much

Guests lounge at The New Farm's Farms for Change fundraiser June 10. about food as it is about music, if not more. This year’s event raised more than $100,000. Last year, the event was rebranded
Farms for Change to reflect an expanding effort to connect other food centres with organic farm produce. Preston and Flies in partnership with
Community Food Centres Canada and with the support of dozens of volunteers, have expanded the effort to make good local organic food available for everyone. On one of the hottest days this summer, it is only logical to start with a cold drink. The bar was well stocked with Creemore Springs beer, Dillon’s Distillery cocktails, Duntroon Cyder House cider and Sap Sucker maple water. Then itʼs off to sample food from some of the trendiest restaurants in Toronto – Momofuku, Café Boulud, The Broadview Hotel, Montecito, Epic at Fairmount Royal York, Drake Hotel, Harvest Kitchen, Planta, Gladstone – and those closer to home – Azzurra, The Pottery. Diners plan their strategy, scoping out which restaurants are offering what, before committing to a line-up. Food stations are serving chickpea crepes with lamb, chicken curry, cassoulet and ceviche, to name (See “Tastes” on page 7)
Firefighters fundraising to restore antique fire truck by Trina Berlo Creemore firefighters are fundraising to refurbish the village’s first fire truck so it can be put back into service (on special occasions that is). Until a few years ago, the 1941 International Harvester fire truck was used in parades and available for birthday parties or when a local team won a championship, but recently it has been taken off the road. Clearview Fire Station 4 Captain Ed Van Severen said it will cost about $10,000 to repair the body and have the paint job redone. Unit 41, a pumper, was the first motorized self-propelled fire truck purchased in Creemore and held 400 gallons of water. The truck remained in service until 1989. It is now owned by the Creemore
Firefighters’ Association. Unit 41 was purchased from the RCAF in 1958. It had been used by the RCAF fire brigade in March of that year to fight the fire at the 13x ammunitions depot explosion at Base Borden. Three Creemore area residents were counted among the seven people who died in the explosion, still one of the worst peacetime ammunition explosions in Canadian history. In the fall of 1958, Creemore ratepayers expressed mixed emotions about council’s proposal to purchase the truck from the RCAF at a cost of $2,100 (about $17,800 today) but they did vote in favour of the purchase. In August of 1959, with rising tension over the purchase of the fire truck within the Creemore Fire Brigade, (See “1941” on page 3)

1941 pumper saw action for three decades (Continued from page 1) Unit 41 got its first call, responding to an electrical fire at Machesney’s Groceteria (now the Post Office). “Luckily the smoke was noticed early by passersby and, with no wind to fan the blaze, the fire was confined to the smouldering stage,” states a Creemore Star report. “Fire Chief Lloyd Hall was on scene following the sounding of the fire alarm and the village’s new fire truck was called to its first action. An indication of the unorganized state of the local volunteer fire department following the recent series of resignations and dismissals was seen in the fact that only three
members of the department responded to the call.” In 1962, the fire brigade saved St. Luke’s Anglican Church from fire, when a furnace malfunction caused a small fire. Ernie Roberts was on site putting up Christmas decorations and alerted the fire brigade, which responded quickly, saving the church. Damage was confined to the parish hall. Unit 41 went on to accompany firefighters responding to many fires in Creemore and surrounding area, including mills in Avening in 1963 and Creemore in 1970, both of which were levelled. Creemore Fire Department
purchased a brand new 600-gallon GMC fire truck in 1972. In 1990, the department purchased a 1989 Ford Diesel Cargo Fire apparatus, Pump 42, its first major purchase in 17 years, greatly improving fire protection for the town and resulting in the retirement of Unit 41, which was taken over by the Creemore Firefighters Association. “The Midtown Express” continued to serve Creemore and Clearview Township until 2015 when it was replaced with a 2016 Pierce pumper, Squad 45. The association has launched a fundraising campaign to pay for the restoration of Unit 41. To donate

online, visit www.gofundme.com/ unit-41. A portion of proceeds from the Canada Day three-on-three ball hockey tournament will also go to the restoration. Participants are invited to register as a team or an individual in the competitive or family division. Cost is $15 per player. Games will be played on Veteranʼs Way, between the Creemore Arena and the Legion, where most Canada Day activities are taking place throughout the day. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. Games start at 10:30 a.m. To sign up, or for more information, e-mail Van Severen at edvanseveren@gmail.com.

BA Johnston has been long-listed for the Polaris Music Prize once again, this time for his 2017 album Gremlins III. “This album differs from the other stink burgers in B.A.ʼs catalogue as it includes an actual backing band on six tracks (the talented Reaguns Rayguns from Saint John, NB). On top of this, every single song features actual instruments played by actual musicians, and not just the talentless B.A. Johnston,” states a press release issued at the time the album launched. The Polaris Music Prize is a not-forprofit organization with a mission to honour, celebrate and reward creativity and diversity in Canadian recorded music by recognizing and marketing albums “of the highest artistic integrity, without regard to musical genre, professional affiliation, or sales history, as judged by a panel of selected music critics.” Forty albums are on the list. A short list of 10 albums will be released on July 13 and the Canadian album of the year is announced at a gala on Sept. 18. Johnston also made the list in 2015.

Opinion Editorial Keep Canada 150 Canadian
Are we putting too much pressure on ourselves to make Canada’s sesquicentennial celebrations grandiose? As people, Canadians are usually up for a party but we like to be low key about it. We like to get together, eat something, have a couple of drinks… Even our nation’s biggest birthday party held each year on Parliament Hill, is casual by some standards. There’s live music, some speeches and fireworks, that’s about the extent of it. When we try to get fancy, things can go badly. This year, extra funds were made available to celebrate Canada 150 and the majority of people are less than thrilled about the travelling red couch and the giant rubber duck, calling them off-brand and wasteful. Others have found there really isn’t a lot of hype around Canada 150 and what does exist seems somewhat forced. On July 1, 1867 the province of Canada joined with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Even back then, newspapers reported modest celebrations with flag-raising, cookouts and spending time by the lake. People were just happy to have a long weekend. Sound familiar? People have said that the centennial was a much bigger party and from what we understand it was authentic, more of a feeling of patriotic pride than a number of over-budget publicity stunts. Creemore is gearing up for a Canada 150 celebration that seems truly Canadian in that it will be low-key and fun with several activities and a parade. That’s something we can all get behind.

Medical Centre Board dissolution smells of empire building Editor: We live in a wonderful community. One of its greatest strengths is the number of retirees and others who willingly share their years of business and organizing skills voluntarily.

Why does township council wish to replace those volunteers with expensive bureaucrat hours? A year from now we should ask how many more tax dollars it took to replace the work done by experienced, capable volunteers. Bill Phelps, Creemore.
Double toonie lunch funds support local charities What’s on the menu during the fall and winter at St. Luke’s? Soup, of course, or “suppa”, a medieval dish of thick stew on bread slices, although ours comes in a bowl with a side of bread. From the comforting simplicity of tomato and chicken, to the more adventurous flavours of other countries, soup has been offered to the community for many years by St. Luke’s. The original menu of homemade soup, selections of bread, celery and carrot sticks, plus juice, tea and coffee has been available, for the sum of a toonie, the last Friday of each fall and winter month. Sometimes there is even dessert. Homemade soup is donated by the St. Luke’s Anglican Church Women with additional donations by volunteer friends, who often help set-up, serve and clean up; a much appreciated gesture. There are usually eight to 10 superior soup flavours, with “cream-of - anything” being the most popular. In 6,000 B.C. it would have been “cream-of-hippopotamus”! From the beginning of Toonie Lunches at St. Luke’s we decided, ahead of the day, just where the monies from each month’s effort would go. All the funds raised in this way have gone back into the community and to other charities where we see a

need. In the past year, donations have been given to such endeavours as: Coldest Night of the Year walk, Health Mission trips to Dominican Republic, Cybergnomes Robotics teams, both boys and girls, RAY’s Place, Stayner Food Bank, Alzheimer’s Society, Leprosy Mission, Habitat for Humanity and to Community Outreach – a hand-up to those in need in Creemore. Our list has become quite extensive over the years. We are always open to suggestions as to where else we could donate. This year the price for soup has increased and this lunch is now known as a Double Toonie Lunch. These lunches are still the best deal in town and seem to be just as popular as ever. We are glad to see so many people interested in good food, a time to connect with old friends and a chance to make some new ones. We encourage people to come early and stay late. An old Jewish saying tells us that, “Troubles are easier to take with soup than without”. See you in the fall!

Tastes and sounds of The New Farm (Continued from page 1) a few options. The first few hours of the evening are spent sampling dishes at picnic tables or sprawled on blankets on the lawn in front of the house, while serenaded by bluegrass band The Barrel Boys. Meanwhile, the VIPs were wined and dined by Richmond Station in the New Farm Kitchen. In the barn, it is always magical to watch the sky transition from twilight to dark through the cracks between the barnboard as the band revs up. Plaskett

said from the stage he was honoured to have been invited to take part in such a great event and a worthy cause. The audience was thrilled to be treated to a special surprise appearance by Sarah Harmer, who joined Plaskett for a duet. At the end of the night, emerging from the barn, nothing could have been more welcome than the pressed grilled cheese sandwich made with bree and milk chocolate, served up by Ace bakery on one of their brioche buns.

SCI honours athletes at year-end banquet
by Trina Berlo Stayner Collegiate Institute honoured the best of its athletes June 7 at the end of year athletics banquet. In addition to awards in individual sports, seven students were named athlete of the year for their overall athletic abilities and commitment to school sports. Maddie Holland and Ally McLeod shared the honour of being named senior female athletes of the year, while Jake Underhill and Gavin Proud were both named senior male athletes of the year. Zach Knapper won junior male athlete of the year and Taylor Martin and Kyla Bourne are co-recipients of the junior female athlete of the year title. All of the students were recognized for their athletic ability, leadership, sportsmanship, dedication and skill in multiple sports. Underhill and McLeod were also awarded the Pursley Award, given to athletes who have made major contributions to SCI’s athletic program through leadership and involvement on inter-school athletic teams along with volunteer opportunities within our athletic program. Underhill was recognized for his love of sport throughout his high school career and his valuable contributions to the athletic program. “He is a very accomplished athlete who played soccer, volleyball, basketball, hockey, badminton and golf over the past four years and, in that time, received team awards by his various coaches as the most improved player, most sportsmanlike and most valuable player. Along with these team awards, he was also recognized as athlete of the year in all four years he attended SCI,” said physical and health education department chair Corey French in his presentation speech. “In addition to his athletic accomplishments, he was a devoted member of Athletic Council who took on so many jobs including score keeping, lining the field, organizing intramural activities and even helping with coaching duties with the girls hockey, soccer and volleyball teams.” McLeod was also recognized as a multi-sport athlete who has made many contributions to the athletics program over the past four years. “As an athlete, she competed on the flag football, volleyball, basketball and soccer teams and her list of

McLeod has taken on scheduling of intramural games, administrative duties, setting up for elementary
tournaments, scorekeeping and producing the year-end athletic video. “What’s even more astonishing about her, is that she did all this while balancing a hectic figure skating schedule, part-time jobs, maintaining academic excellence year after year and being president of student council over the past two years,” said French.
Cyclist crosses South America for Hospice Collingwood resident Tom Bell is cycling the length of South America to raise funds and awareness for Hospice Georgian Triangle. Bell is a long-time volunteer and supporter of Hospice Georgian Triangle plans to cycle from Cartagena, Columbia south to Ushuaia, Argentina between July 9 and Dec. 23. “I am inspired by the compassion and support Hospice Georgian Triangle provides to individuals,
families and the bereaved in this community,” said Bell. “This is my way of giving back to both Hospice and to my community.” Bell’s South American adventure is not his first bicycle challenge. Since 2012, the 65-year-old has cycled across Tuscany, Vietnam, Cuba, New Zealand and from Toronto to St. John’s in Canada.

We had 39 members out for cards and 50/50 draws were won by Marcia Cameron, Lillian Hiltz, Alinda Bishop, Marg Falls, Melvin Lougheed and Evelyn Warden. Seven Moon Shots were played by Janice Stephens X2, Marion Kelly, Marg Ferguson, Art Bishop, Pat Winger and the travel prize went to Evelyn Warden. Winner at cards were Janice Stephens, 338; Joan O’Laskey, 308; Karl Seifert, 280; Pat Winger, 266; and low went to Alma Seifert, 87. Marg Hennessy was in the lucky chair. An elderly gentleman was going to France to attend the Vimy celebrations. He was asked to show identification to enter France and told you always have to show identification to enter France, to which he replied, “Maʼam in 1917 when I came here to liberate you I could not find a Frenchman to show ID to”. Remember: The happiest people don’t have everything. They just make the best of everything they have.

Cycle for Sight coming to Creemore June 24 Cycle for Sight has partnered with Creemore Springs Brewery to bring one of its national rides to the village on June 24. Cycle for Sight is a challenging, oneday ride in support of the Foundation Fighting Blindness, the largest charity funding sight-saving research in Canada, serving one million Canadians living with vision loss by advancing retinal disease research, education, and public awareness. The event is taking place in five Canadian cities this summer, raising more than $3.7 million to support research for cures and treatments for retinal diseases including retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. Cyclists will be joined by event ambassador John Tomassino. An avid cyclist, Tomassino has been a Cycle for Sight participant since 2009, and has personally raised over $10,000 for vision research. He lives with retinitis pigmentosa, a blinding eye disease that there is currently no cure for and rides because he is hopeful for a future without blindness. Like many of the cyclists who participate in this annual one-day ride, John will be cycling with a sighted pilot on a tandem bike. “Tandem cycling is a real thrill in so many ways,” he said, adding, “the freedom of the ride is an experience that everyone should try.”

Van Ryn, Mynsje (Menks) died peacefully at her home in Lisle, with her family at her side, on Monday, June 12, 2017 in her 82nd year. Born in Voorburg, Holland, on October 6, 1935 to Willem Gerhard Houtzager and Wilhelmina (nee Oudshoorn) Houtzager. Beloved wife of Andy Van Ryn for 59 years. Proud mother to Agnes (Dave Wylie), Sharon (Cameron Kozlowski), Bill (Ingrid), and Michelle (Robert Chatelain). Proud Oma to Elijah, Joshua, Emily, Quinn, Troy, Brooklynn, Saskia, Michael, Rebekah, Andie, Isabel and Jude. Predeceased by her husband Andy, son Michael, twin sister Wilhelmina Roubos, and step-sisters Nell Heitmar and Bets de Rooy. Her brother Willem Gerhard (Gerry) Houtzager (Dorothy) now live in Wasaga Beach. She will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews, friends and neighbours. Menks immigrated to Canada with her mother, step-father, twin sister and brother, landing in Quebec City on July 21, 1951 enroute to Utopia, Ontario. After marrying Andy and briefly living in Toronto, they bought their farm in Lisle. In the early years, three Van Ryn brothers owned farms at the ‘3 churches corners’. This extended family of Dutch immigrants worked together to build a life in Canada in God’s light. She and Andy worked the farm and raised their children together; Menks was a tireless wife, mother and eventually Oma. Menks was famous for her generous hospitality. She was a devout member of The Reformed Church in Barrie for many years and then St. Andrew’s Maple Cross Presbyterian Church in Creemore where she was a member of ‘God’s Willing Servants’. A memorial service will be held at St. Andrews Maple Cross Presbyterian Church, Creemore on Saturday, June 17, 2017 at 1 p.m. followed by a reception at the Royal Canadian Legion, Creemore Branch. Private burial rites are being performed at Fawcett Funeral Home in Creemore on Friday, June 16, 2017 followed by interment at Alliston Union Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy donations may be made to St. Andrews Maple Cross Presbyterian Church. Friends may visit Menks’ online Book of Memories at www. fawcettfuneralhomes.com.

She is also survived by her brother, Dr. Kevin Moran, her sister Darlene Mantione and Myrna Hastings, the widow of her late brother David Moran. Judy was also predeceased by her brother Gary. She grew up in Barrie and, on completing secondary school, went to Toronto where she qualified as a health records administrator. With that training she became one of Canada’s foremost experts on medical and health records. She served on many different boards and committees in her field and worked at Women’s College Hospital, the Ontario Hospital Association, Mount Sinai Hospital and Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie. She was an active political organizer, helping to elect Dennis Trimbrell, John Bosley and John Crispo, among others. A private family funeral service has been held and a party to celebrate the joy and love she brought to so many, will be held in July.
