New this year for Canada 150, a parade is being added to the event roster.

People are encouraged to either come out and watch the parade or take part.

The parade is being organized by Pauline MacIntosh and Ken Day. They welcome people to celebrate Canada’s 150-year history, with an emphasis on dress and transportation.

Day said he remembers the wonderful celebrations during Canada’s centennial and they hope to replicate the same level of enthusiasm. The parade will travel up Mill Street from George Street to Wellington Street W. and then turn right on Collingwood Street to end at the Creemore Arena. To register, call 705-816-6311.

The parade will follow the annual Harold Crawford Memorial Kids’ Bike Parade, which begins at 1 p.m. Youth are invited to decorate their bicycles with a Canadian theme and meet at Mad River

BIA celebrates 30 years with Founders' Dinner

by Trina Berlo Creemore BIA celebrated its 30-year anniversary Tuesday with a gourmet farm-to-table dinner at Station on the Green.

The event brought the community together to celebrate the village’s accomplishments and its cooperative spirit.

Guests arrived to an al fresco social hour and hors d’oeuvres served by the Sovereign and SoCo with falafel, poutine and wood fired pizza on offer along with cocktails mixed Creemore Springs beer and Meredith’s Ginger Syrup.

Guests were then ushered in to the Station to find it completely transformed with country décor including wildflowers, barnboard signs, lit trees, (See “Partners” on page 7)

by Trina Berlo Steer Enterprises has been cleared to develop its new service centre at Cashtown Corners.

The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) has dismissed an appeal of Clearview Township council’s decision to apply an agriculturally related commercial exception zone to a 10-acre parcel of farmland at the southeast corner of County Roads 42 and 9 that would allow for the development of a diesel engine repair centre. Owner Tim Young has said Steer has outgrown its current location in Glen Huron and is looking to build a larger purpose built facility.

“We are certainly excited about the decision that was made,” said Young.

“We are ready to proceed forward.”

He said he felt the OMB decision put to rest any questions about the development.

The appeal process has set the development back about eight months but Steer is now working to finalize the site plan details with the township. The plan is to be open at Cashtown Corners in the fall of 2018.

“Our next step is to finalize proceedings with the township and then we can break soil here as soon as possible,” said Young. “We held off on everything until we had the go-ahead.”

The OMB hearing was held in Stayner April 11-13 to hear an appeal filed by Creemore residents John and Marnie Hillier. The parties included Steer, the Township of Clearview and Tod Jardine, the owner of the subject property.

“We are disappointed with the decision to approve the development proposal at Cashtown. While we recognize the benefits of business expansion to the community, we believe (See “Steer” on page 3)

Steer rezoning upheld at OMB

Mulmur Day

(Continued from page 1) that an industrial park would have been a more appropriate location,” said the Hilliers.

In a decision issued June 15 by OMB member Ian Rowe wrote, “There is no dispute that Steer provides an excellent service to its customers, a large portion of which is the agricultural industry and that Steer needs to expand its operation in order to serve its growing business.

The appropriateness of the proposed location is very much in dispute.”

In order to justify locating on agricultural land, whether Steer’s agriculturally related work is a “primary activity” came into question.

“The board finds that an appropriate interpretation of the phrase admits to the possibility of more than one activity as prime activities. In doing so, the board concludes that on either categorization, the products and services provided by Steer to the agricultural industry constitute a primary activity and therefore Steer qualifies as an agriculture-related use,” states the ruling.

In the matter of alternative sites, Rowe states, “There does not appear to be any provision in the Provincial Policy Statement or the guidelines that seeks to impose an obligation on a proponent to investigate alternative sites which would avoid the absorption of prime agricultural land.” He goes on to say, the board “would have benefitted from a more rigorous analysis of the alternative sites considered. However, in the context of rather ill-defined locational criteria, the board is satisfied that Mr. Young has satisfied any such criteria.”

Rowe found the Simcoe County Official Plan to be “internally inconsistent” in its criteria for location in that it states the agricultural related use must be in close proximity to the farm operation but also be directed to a rural designated property or a settlement area.

“The board accepts the evidence of the proponent and the two farmers that the operation should be in close proximity to the farm operations it serves. Therefore, the proposal would appear to satisfy the first locational criteria and would be relieved from satisfying either of the remaining criteria.” The ruling goes on to say, “Although the subject property is predominately Class 3 agricultural land, the board was advised that it had been limited to pasture use. The area of the consent was considered poorer lands than the balance of the farm.”

He has chosen about 80 pieces that are quintessential Canadian – an 1855 illustration of moose hunting in Canada from the Illustrated London News, Expo programs, pictures of the Queen, a CN Tower bumper sticker, a Canadian Pacific magazine ad, a 1976 Montreal Olympic poster, a 1939 Globe and Mail article about the Dionne Quintuplets, wartime memorabilia and much more.

The flag collector will also have flags on display such as the seven-by-14-foot flag with only seven provincial shields from between 1873 and 1905, and that’s the small one, said Anning. Canada didn’t have an official flag until 1922. Anning has one to show and another from 1957, when three minor changes were made to the design.

There will be food and drink available throughout the day with the Legion ladies cooking brunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and lunch from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and the firefighters cooking dinner at the arena at 6 p.m.

An official ceremony begins at 8 p.m., with the singing of the National Anthem and the Man and Woman of the Year presentations and then The Steve Baker Magic Show will entertain while people wait for the fireworks at dusk. Organizers will be passing the boot to raise money to pay for the fireworks so be sure to donate.

Donations can also be made at collection jars around town, or send a cheque to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 397, 27 Wellington St. W., Creemore, ON, L0M 1G0. People are also welcome to donate online at www.gofundme.com/150thanniversary-of-confederation.

Mulmur Canada 150 organizers serve a free pig roast courtesy of Country Meats on Mulmur Day June 17, which was supplemented by a large assortment of potluck sides. The day started with a township wide scavenger hunt. Lots of children came out to town hall to explore the Interactive Agricultural Truck, had fun with crafts, and enjoyed lawn activities, airbrush tattoos, making balloon animals, exploring a fire truck. Local firefighters were the bartenders for the evening and Country 105 was live on location.

XS Baggage played a great variety of music to get people on the dance floor. The evening ended with a grand display of fireworks. Organizers thank everyone who helped make Mulmur Day a success. For future events, check out 150 in Mulmur on Facebook and Instagram.

The way we were

Minimum wage has to go up A person who makes minimum wage in Ontario, even if they work 40 hours per week, would gross $23,712 a year.

Can small businesses afford to pay a higher minimum wage? As a community, can we afford not to pay people more?

The provincial government is proposing legislation, the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act, 2017, that would see the general minimum wage raised from $11.40 per hour to $14 per hour on Jan. 1, 2018, and to $15 on Jan. 1, 2019, followed by annual increases at the rate of inflation.

The proposal has been causing some controversy but with less job security than ever, how else can we ensure that workers make a living wage? Consider the annual income of almost $24,000 (minus deductions) and take into consideration that a single person could pay around $1,000 for a one bedroom apartment, not taking into account other deductions, more than half of a workerʼs income could be allocated to housing, which is well beyond the accepted threshold for assessing poverty. Of course, someone making minimum wage would probably share living space to cut costs but even then, once they pay their bills, they would still have little or no money to inject into the local economy.

The pay increase may be hard to swallow for small shop owners, but the reality is that costs go up and all areas of business are affected, including labour.

Consider the changes in the workforce and how those minimum wage jobs used to go to young people getting started and are now held by a wider range of employees. The world of work is a tricky place to navigate these days with contract, part-time and working from home. The days of lifelong stable employment with potential for advancement and a full pension are gone for the most part.

“Over the past three years, Ontario’s economy has outperformed all G7 countries in terms of real GDP growth,” states the Premier’s office. “While exports and business investments are increasing and the unemployment rate is at a 16-year low, the nature of work has changed. Many workers are struggling to support their families on part-time, contract or minimum-wage work. Government has a responsibility to address precarious employment and ensure Ontario workers are protected by updating the province’s labour and employment laws.”

The proposed changes are a result of a two-year review of the Employment Standards Act of 2000 and Labour Relations Act of 1995, and include: Mandating equal pay for part-time, temporary, casual and seasonal employees who do the same job as full-time employees; equal pay for temporary help agency employees; bringing vacation time to at least three weeks after five years with a company; requiring employees to be paid for three hours of work if their shift is cancelled within 48 hours of its scheduled start time; make certain that employees are not misclassified as independent contractors, ensuring they get the benefits they deserve.

Honeywood strawberry supper has sweet history The Dominion Day - Canada Day Strawberry Supper, held at the Honeywood Arena, has been running for more than 100 years.

The annual garden party on July 1 became a tradition shortly after a permanent church was established in Lavender in 1860. It was a big social event of the year with children’s games, baseball games, by teams invited from nearby communities.

Sometimes football games preceded the picnic supper.

The evening’s entertainment was provided by local young people in the form of a humourous play. Actors were given a free meal. Lighting was by gas lanterns.

In the belly of the beast

by Basil Guinane How do you fight crime and solve murders when the people you are working for are in fact criminals and murderers?

That is the dilemma faced by Bernie Gunther, a homicide detective working in Nazi Germany.

Gunther is the creation of writer Philip Kerr, and has appeared in 12 novels to date.

The most recent is Prussian Blue which is set, primarily in 1939, a few months before the start of World War Two and finds Gunther having to investigate a murder in Berchtesgaden, Hitler’s inner sanctum. In doing so, he uncovers a rat’s nest of corruption and comes into contact with a number of elite Nazis.

The story is told as a flashback by Gunther, who in 1956, is on the run from the Stasi, East Germany’s secret police force. They want Gunther to work for them and if he won’t, they want him dead. The agent heading the pursuit is an ex-cop who Gunther worked with on the 1939 case.

Kerr adroitly weaves the two tales together and in doing so provides insights on the inner workings of the Nazi regime and the odious characters who populated it. Chief among these in Prussian Blue is Martin Bormann, Hitler’s private secretary.

Bormann is responsible for managing the building of Berchtesgaden and he wants it completed in time for Hitler’s 50th birthday. He is pressuring Gunther to quickly and quietly solve the murder of a civil engineer who was shot dead by a sniper on the balcony of Hitler’s private residence. Bormann fears that if Hitler learns of the murder he will

Book Review

be unwilling to come to Berchtesgaden out of concern for his personal safety.

That would have dire consequences for Bormann’s political position which rests on controlling access to Hitler.

As Gunther investigates the murder he uncovers a web of illegal activities.

Chief among these is the sale of amphetamines. It seems that these were very popular with the Nazis who used them freely and provided them to the workers at Berchtesgaden so that they could work at a faster rate.

At the same time, Gunther is on the run in 1956, trying to make his way from the south of France to West Germany where he thinks he might be safe. To do this Gunther must use all his old police skills in order to avoid both the Stasi and the French police who suspect him of a double homicide.

Bernie Gunther is a character in the tradition of Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe. Surrounded by corruption he struggles to stick to a personal moral code.

He is world weary and cynical but still clings to the idea that in the face of so much violence and corruption it is still possible to try and do the right thing even if it means putting yourself in danger.

Prussian Blue is fast paced and Kerr is adept at bringing to life figures from the past who you would much rather meet on the page than in person.

Basil Guinane is a recently retired associate dean of the School of Media Studies at Humber college, a former

Clockwise from above: BIA president Jackie Durnford welcomes guests to the Founders' Dinner; guest speaker John Wiggins; serving up signature cocktails with Creemore Springs beer and Meredith's Ginger Syrup.

Partners put on a fabulous spread (Continued from page 1) hispster lights, ribbons and hanging bicycles. The tables were laden with edible centerpieces of radishes, herbs, strawberries, eggs interspersed with canning jar candleholders.

The BIA hosted the country chic affair showcasing the area’s many fine products. President Jackie Durnford’s vision was made a reality thanks to many volunteer hours put in by members of the business community.

Before the meal, Durnford welcomed to the podium speaker and guest of honour John Wiggins, who walked the audience through Creemore’s transformation over the past 30 years. The anniversary of the BIA coincides with the 30-year anniversary of Creemore Springs Brewery, which Wiggins founded shortly after moving to the area. Wiggins was an integral part of the revitalization of the village as a tourist attraction and its transformation into the community that it is today.

Wiggins said the village’s cooperative nature was one of the first things that struck him when he moved here, saying he was at that time sent across the street to a competitor when buying paper plates for a party.

Attendees were then treated to a three-course dinner starting with trout roulade made by Chef Michel Masselin of Chez Michel using his own garlic scapes, fish from Kolapore Springs, New Farm spinach, and

served with Miller’s Dairy cream and dill sauce, followed by a publican salad from the Old Mill House Pub using New Farm greens. Creemore Kitchen Chef Caesar Guinto created a main coarse of ballotine with roasted chicken from Woodfield Farm, pomme purée and asparagus from Blackshire Gardens. The meal was completed by Guinto’s pavlova made with duck eggs from Roy’L Acres Farm, Miller’s Dairy cream and Moondance Organic Gardens rhubarb strawberry compote, served with tea and coffee served

by Clearview Tea Company and Creemore Coffee Company.

Masselin and Guinto managed the kitchen as a team and the courses were expertly delivered to the tables by servers from Chez Michel and Creemore Kitchen, who had volunteered their time that evening. Durnford said much of the food was either donated or sold at a reduced price. All in all, the dinner was a large collaborative effort by all partners.

“We wanted to bring the business community together, to unite them, see them working together on future ventures to promote the community,” said Durnford.

At the end of the night, diners went home stuffed to the gills, but not before picking up a Bank Café cinnamon bun to-go. People also went home with a keepsake tea towel printed with a copy of the menu.

All girls hockey league forming

by Trina Berlo A group of volunteers in the area has been granted permission by the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association to build a girls hockey program for the Georgian Bay Area.

The initiative is spearheaded by group of parents who have daughters at various levels of skill, who want to play hockey.

Ivy Martin said her own daughter is new to hockey but her son plays rep.

“I think she sees how much he has gained from having that team experience and she wants that,” said Martin. “I’m excited, I think this is great for girls in our area who want to play hockey and make friends and be part of that community.”

Martin said there is a lot of interest in hockey in the Georgian Bay area and this will be one way for girls to get involved or augment their play.

“We want to make sure that we start fresh and new and have a wider area to draw from without drawing girls who are already playing,” said Martin. “We are not looking to draw those girls away because we’re not offering a competitive environment, we are just offering them a local league environment.”

She said the group, going under the name of Georgian Bay Girls’ Hockey Association, applied for a girls league two years ago and were denied, but bolstered by population growth and the number of girls in minor hockey, they were successful in this latest application to the OWHA. They have been approved for a local league that will be part of the new north Simcoe loop, including Midland, Orillia, Barrie and the Clearview IceCats, which play out of Alliston.

Georgian Bay Lightning is now recruiting for the Georgian Bay Lightning team, open to players born from 2000 to 2008.

They are looking at renting ice in Collingwood, Stayner, Thornbury and Creemore but the exact locations will be determined by the players who register and where they live. The goal is to try to stay within a half hour radius of the team members’ so that parents won’t have to drive too far for practices. There will be a mid-week practice and most of the OWHA games are on weekends.

“If girls 9-10-11 years old haven’t already started hockey, sometimes its hard for them to start in the minor hockey system because it’s more

intimidating at that age to start hockey so now, with the local league system those girls who have never played hockey before have that opportunity to play with an all-girls team, which is really exciting.”

“That’s what’s so great about this.

If girls had any inclination that they wanted to start but they were a little intimidated playing with the boys, now they’ll have that chance to start and play through their whole lives if they choose to.”

Registration sessions are being held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, June 23 at Central Arena Collingwood; from 10 a.m. until noon on Saturday, June 24 at Beaver Valley Thornbury Arena, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 25 at Wasaga Stars Arena in Wasaga Beach; and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, June 26 at the Stayner Arena.

For more information, contact Ivy Martin at 705-445-5374, or ivymmartin@hotmail.com. Cost is $600 for the early bird registration and $650 after July 15.

Martin said girls playing minor hockey, can now also play with a girls team, if schedules don’t conflict and the minor hockey association is in agreement.
