Fountain sculptor initiates litigation by Trina Berlo Work to refurbish Creemore’s fountain is expected to begin this week. It comes one week after officials at Station on the Green and Clearview Township received a letter from a lawyer demanding that the restoration of the sculpture begin before September. Station on the Green chair Bill McDougall says the timing is coincidental because the fountain maintenance project was in the plans since last year. The letter was sent at the request of sculptor Ralph Hicks who donated the Creemore Children’s Dress-up Dance sculpture in 2003. He says he also donated $7,000 to establish a maintenance fund and if the sculpture is not restored in the near future, he wants his money back, plus interest. Calcium build-up must be removed to show the dark green patina of the bronze, said Hicks. That has only been removed once, in 2008. “I think the village, certainly people who talk to me about it, feels quite precious about it. People like that piece of sculpture and it’s sad that it’s been allowed to have this calcium build-up over the years, it’s very irresponsible,” said Hicks. “Mr. Hicks has retained me to express his profound disappointment at the woeful neglect by Clearview Township and Station on the Green of his sculpture, which he donated to the township in 2003 – the most valuable donation made to the entire Station on the Green development,” writes lawyer Ernest Rovet. “At the time, the township agreed to delegate the care, protection and maintenance of the sculpture to Station on the Green. Yet the township and Station on the Green have allowed this extraordinary piece of art to deteriorate badly despite an additional significant donation by Mr. Hicks made for the specific purpose of funding the maintenance

Both parties have common goal (Continued from page 1) not a public health concern. The base, said McDougall, has become a concern and a priority for volunteers. The concrete base is chipped in spots and has a crack running toward the centre. All in, it is expected all of the repairs will cost about $15,000 and plans for a fundraising campaign by the newly formed Friends of the Fountain group are underway. Hicks says he donated $7,000 specifically for the maintenance of the sculpture, not the mechanics of the fountain. Ruppel acknowledges that the donation was made but it was not specifically placed in a separate account earmarked for the sculpture. “We didn’t establish a formal trust. I just assumed on a gentleman’s agreement they would do it. I didn’t want to get involved in the finances of the Station on the Green,” Hicks told The Echo. In 2008, power washers were used to remove most of the calcium and then the detail work was done with
dental tools and took volunteer more than 60 hours. McDougall says it is what he calls unintended consequences; the cost and expertise required to care for such a sculpture and fountain are taxing on volunteers. And Hicks just wants his artwork cared for. “I want the work to be done this year, if they put it off this year, they’ll put it off again next year and I may not be around at that time. I am an old man now and I hate to think that this thing is going to deteriorate for years and years and years. They’ve left it nine years without doing anything. They could leave it another 20 years,” said Hicks. “I don’t want litigation. I like a quiet life and I want my work to be respected.” “[The Station’s] treatment of him is demeaning and hurtful. He has been extremely generous, yet he is ignored and treated ignominiously by the Station on the Green,” states the letter from Rovet. “Not surprisingly, Mr. Hicks is deeply troubled and upset.
Furthermore, the current state of the sculpture is an embarrassment to Mr. Hicks as people he encounters in the village imply that he is in some way responsible for the current poor state of the sculpture whereas in earlier years all comments were positive. Some people may even conclude that his skill in making the sculpture was inadequate in the first place. All this negative feedback and questioning deleteriously affects his reputation as an internationally acclaimed artist. It has caused and will continue to cause him emotional distress.” Hicks said Thursday he has directed his lawyer to pause litigation pending confirmation that the sculpture will be restored this summer. In the meantime, volunteers are kicking off a fundraising campaign to cover the full cost. To support the restoration project, donation cheques can be made out to Creemore Station on the Green and can be dropped off at The Echo or mailed to 10 Caroline St. East, Creemore Ont., L0M 1G0.
Accessibility committee addresses event parking Clearview Township is purchasing four portable accessible parking signs for use at various events where permanent accessible parking is unavailable due to road closures.

to outdoor events, is that in many instances permanent accessible parking spaces cannot be utilized due to road closures and the layout of the event. Wanting to ensure that events are inclusive for all attendees, she said the committee proposed to offer portable accessible parking signs to event organizers at no charge. Event planners can request the portable accessible parking signs at
the same time they request for road blockades. There is a portable accessible parking sign guideline outlining the most effective use of the signs that will be provided to anyone who requests the road closure blockades and portable accessible parking signs. The cost of the signs, $643.69, will by covered by the accessibility improvements budget.

Fatal collision near Shelburne
Dufferin County OPP is investigating a fatal collision that happened near Shelburne just before 5 p.m. on July 21, when police and emergency crews were dispatched to what was described as a car versus a tractor-trailer collision. Police arrived and determined that a transport truck, hauling an unloaded flatbed trailer, had been stopped facing westbound in the inside lane of Highway 89, waiting to turn left onto a side road. This section of Highway 89 is a four-lane roadway. Other westbound vehicles began to move right into the available westbound lane. One vehicle, a Toyota Corolla, continued westbound in the inside lane and ran into the back of the transport trailer that was stopped. After the Corolla made impact, it then came to rest across the outside westbound lane where it was hit a by another westbound car. The driver of the Toyota Corolla, sustained serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the other car as well as the driver of the transport truck did not sustain injuries. Witnesses are asked to contact Const. Karey St. Clair, of the Dufferin Detachment at 519-925-3838.

The way we were
Blockbuster bust Summers bring to mind an image of muggy nights that drive people to the movie theatre in search of some entertainment and air conditioning but things have changed. This summer hasn’t been that hot and even the many people who have air conditioning in their homes haven’t needed it. Those air conditioned homes often have Netflix, so who goes to the movies anymore? Say it were hot and you live in a rural area with terrible internet access and you still like to go to the movies… there isn’t much in the original film category to draw people to the movie theatre. There are too many sequels, prequels and reboots being made and not enough of the big blockbuster summer movies that have the big budget and the big stars and make it impossible to resist. The sequels and prequels and spin offs can be great and very entertaining – like Wonder Woman and War for the Planet of the Apes – but the reboots are usually just sad. The announcement of a remake of the 1990 film Flatliners was the last straw. The original film was, well, original. It was one of those movies that you could see and then discuss afterwards. How often can that be said about what’s in theatres these days? Granted, where we live we don’t have access to a diverse offering at the box office. We are limited by what comes to the surrounding big box theatres and although there is good cinema out there, we just don’t get to see it (until it can be streamed or downloaded if that luxury is available). There have been some exceptions; Baby Driver, written and directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz), feels fresh and quirky, perfect for a summer flick and Dunkirk is educational and entertaining. There are some action films that look promising in terms of escapism; Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, The Dark Tower and Atomic Blonde (all adaptations). No judgment on the comic book franchises, but another Spiderman? Too soon. And what to say of The Emoji Movie? The studios are playing it safe with more of what they know will sell, especially in the kids’ flick department, with second sequels for Cars and Despicable Me. There are probably lots of good original screenplays out there but business is business and the studios aren’t going to gamble away their profits so we are stuck with what we get. Let’s face it, in 10 years we will be going to see Pirates of the Caribbean 16: Geriatric Jack. Given the state of the world, it seems shallow to complain about a lack of quality film but one could argue that we need an escape from the real world more than ever. Maybe that’s why movies aren’t living up to expectations, because real life is stranger (and more entertaining in the darkest sense) than fiction. With a few exceptions, this summer’s movies have been a bit of a snorer (not unlike this editorial).

Stop signs don't control speed Editor: No doubt Clearview council was well intentioned in their desire to respond to residents’ concerns about speeding in Creemore but they might have done some research before making their decisions. The Ontario Department of Transportation Traffic Manual states that, “Stop signs are not intended to be used as speed control devices. Their usage should be limited to the control of right-of-way conflicts.” All-way stop signs (as opposed to two-way stop signs) should be used at intersections where both directions have a more or less equal and large volumes of traffic but not enough to justify the installation of traffic lights. This is not the case at Mary and George where anyone entering the intersection from Mary Street

with the expectation that cars on George Street will stop is being somewhat optimistic. Georgia State Traffic Engineer Martin Bretherton Jr. reviewed over 70 technical papers on all-way stop signs and found that they do nothing in controlling speed. In fact many studies show that speeds increase as drivers pull away from the intersection and speed to make up for lost time. What all-way stop signs do, is result in poor compliance when they are seen as unnecessary. Having established this precedent I can’t help but wonder what council will do when the next group of concerned citizens demand all-way stop signs for their neighbourhood. Paul Vorstermans, Creemore.

Sculpture makes village special Editor: I’ve always admired the lovely sculpture of the dancing children outside the Saturday market but now they look like ghosts. The lovely bronze patina has turned white. When I ran into Ralph Hicks, the sculptor, he told me the cause is calcium deposits from the water. Mr. Hicks created and donated this piece 14 years ago, and since then it has become a gathering point for visitors and locals. It’s part of what makes Creemore special. He told me that after the sculpture was refurbished around eight years ago to remove the deposit, he made another generous donation to maintain it. But nothing has been done. He told me that he has been asking the management of the Station on the Green to do something about it for years, but they haven’t responded. The money is still sitting there. It’s a shame that one of the best features of the town is being allowed to deteriorate—and it’s an insult to the artist. Apparently the problem is easy enough to fix. Time to do it. Margaret Wente, Creemore.

needed to run my business from local hardware stores and have even eaten in every eatery in town. So my question is, why, oh, why am I, as a taxpayer paying to run a bus that is going to take local shoppers to the Superstore in Wasaga Beach rather than to keep them shopping here? There are other rules on the list that I struggle with as well.
While things have certainly changed marginally in the last 25 years or so, there is still lots to be done. I strongly encourage you to look at the list and see what you as community members, can do to keep our village alive, thriving and growing. Bob Ransier, Creemore.
