Tribunal concludes wpd approval should be revoked by Trina Berlo The Environmental Review Tribunal is recommending the ministry approval of eight 500-foot wind turbines near two Clearview aerodromes be revoked. John Wiggins, Gail and Kevin Elwood, Preserve Clearview and the municipalities of Clearview, Collingwood and the County of Simcoe appealed the approval of the wind turbines based on the grounds that the project would cause serious harm to human health because of the proximity to the aerodromes and serious and irreversible harm to plant life, animal life and the natural environment, specifically bats.
At this stage in the process the tribunal was making a decision about possible remedial steps that could see the Fairview Wind Project go ahead. An August 16 ruling by Dirk VanderBent and Hugh Wilkins states, “…the approval holder has proposed an amendment to the Renewable Energy Approval to include additional curtailment measures designed to reduce little brown myotis (bat) mortalities. The tribunal finds that these additional measures, provided they are amended to require that they be implemented from sunset to sunrise, is likely to significantly reduce little brown myotis mortality over the life
of the project. However, as neither the approval holder nor the director has proposed effective means to mitigate the serious harm to human health, as found by the tribunal in its October 2016 Order, the tribunal concludes that the decision of the director should be revoked. As such, an amendment to the REA to address harm to little brown myotis via an amended mitigation plan is rendered unnecessary.” “This is welcoming news for Clearview Township. The municipality has invested significant time and resources into fighting the wpd Canada Fairview Wind Turbine Project, and although we respect the process, it’s
great to have a final decision,” said Mayor Christopher Vanderkruys in a media release. “The decision by the ERT to revoke the approval will be very beneficial for both the Collingwood Regional Airport and the proposed Clearview Aviation Business Park. It has been a long fight, but we have managed to preserve our landscape and ensure viable operation for both the airport and proposed development which will create valuable economic impact for Clearview Township as well as the County of Simcoe.” Clearview Township has spent more than $100,000 in legal fees fighting the erection of the turbines.
Copper Kettle Fest moves to Mill Street The Meadows of Creemore
Ultra high efficiency condos closer to reality by Trina Berlo Doug MacIntosh hopes that one day he will live in a unit of the condo complex he wants to build in Creemore and he remains hopeful. The development has taken much longer than anticipated but there is reason to believe there could be a ground breaking at the Edward Street
East property in the not too distant future. MacIntosh’s Meadows of Creemore freehold condominium development has been on the books since 2004. He said when he started the planning process it was expected to take a few years. Three OMB appeals later and MacIntosh said he is feeling positive

County seeks input on Forest Recreation Policy update
Doug MacIntosh
Meadows of Creemore clears another hurdle (Continued from page 1) a necessary one,” said MacIntosh, adding that it simply reset the zoning for the development, which was already on the books. “As a result of settling this case, the appeal of 10-47 will be resolved and the township and Doug MacIntosh will have a zoning by-law amendment for his property located at 80 Edward Street (East),” reported municipal planner Rossalyn Workman. “Staff are hopeful that a finalized subdivision agreement as well as draft conditions for the development and registration of a common element condominium will be coming forward for council’s consideration in the near future.” MacIntosh said he has been gauging interest in the development and so far, there is sufficient demand. The plan, which has evolved over the years, is to build 72 condo units in three phases. Phases one and two, totaling 54 units, have draft plan approval. The units will range in size from 670 square foot one-bedroom units to 1,255 square foot two-bedroom units with dens, and sizes in between and will be housed in three three-storey buildings. There will be elevators, indoor and
outdoor parking and amenity area. He said the units are being marketed to everyone and they are well suited to seniors. MacIntosh is the former owner and administrator of the nursing home in Creemore, having taken it over from his mother who started the business. The family built the existing nursing home facility on Mary Street and later expanded it before selling the business. MacIntosh said he always envisioned a housing complex next to the nursing home. That initial vision has evolved into a modern, high efficiency development. MacIntosh is a proponent of the passive house which combines many factors such as size, insulation, windows, ventilation and design to create an airtight energy efficient home that aims to reduce energy consumption due to heating and cooling by about 80 per cent. MacIntosh said the units are more expensive to build – putting them in the high $200,000 range – but they are more efficient. He is now engaging engineers and financiers to take the project to the next stage. For more information visit, meadowsofcreemore.ca.
The County of Simcoe is encouraging anyone who spends time in Simcoe County Forest to complete a brief survey to provide input into a review being undertaken of the Recreation Policy. The Recreation Policy governs the public use of the Simcoe County Forest. The Policy was approved by County Council in 2006 to ensure the continued enjoyment of the Forest by all responsible users, to minimize environmental impacts and to reduce conflicts. Assumptions which have governed the existing policy and Forest Management Plan, and will continue to guide decision making include: • The County Forest is considered to be a ‘working forest’ and is not parkland, preserve or for single-use. • Recreational pursuits in the Forest are a privilege, not a right. • Forest health, management and associated operations take precedence over recreational activities. • The County Forest is owned by the Corporation of the County of Simcoe, is not crown land, and as such the County is ultimately responsible for management decisions. A review of the Recreation Policy is being undertaken to assess where it is working well and to identify what changes or modifications may be needed to better address public use and improve the experience of Forest users. The outcome of the review and public feedback may include recommendations for minor amendments, clarifications
and possible other changes to better achieve policy objectives. “We take great pride in being a municipal leader in forest stewardship and Forests Ontario recently recognized our efforts by naming us Ontario’s Green Leaf Challenge award winner among large organizations for planting more than 81,000 trees so far this season,” said Warden Gerry Marshall. “Our forests are a treasure and asset to all our residents and visitors. Please take our brief survey and have your say in how we experience and share the Simcoe County Forest in a responsible way.” The survey is available online at www.simcoe.ca/recsurvey. The survey can also be taken over the phone by contacting Customer Service at 1-800263-3199. At approximately 33,000 acres and growing, the Simcoe County Forest is the largest municipally-owned forest in Ontario and among the largest of its kind in Canada with over 150 properties ranging in size from 13 to over 3,500 acres. The County of Simcoe is one of the few municipalities in Ontario that continues to invest in additional lands to ensure that the substantial environmental, social and economic benefits continue into the future. Within the past decade, the County Forest has expanded by more than 3,700 acres. Our forests contain more than 450 km of trails used for various recreational pursuits. These trails are developed and maintained by non-profit groups through a high degree of volunteerism.

The way we were
Get ready for eclipse There is excitement growing over the solar eclipse happening Monday. It is big deal because it is the most significant total solar eclipse to cross North America (over 14 states) in a long time, giving millions of people a sweet view as it crosses the country. Many others are travelling south to see the eclipse in its full glory. Up here, we will see a 70 per cent eclipse, which is still very cool and still requires precautions. Because we are not in the path of totality, we won’t see the moon fully cover the sun but we will experience darkness from the shadow. If it’s cloudy it won’t be as dramatic. The experts say it is not safe to look at the eclipse with the bare eye so gear is needed. There has been a lot of talk of counterfeit solar glasses so err on the side of caution before looking at the sun. The path of totality crosses 14 states with partial phases seen from all parts of Canada. “I cannot emphasize enough, that people should not look at the sun without proper protection. Dark sunglasses will not protect from direct viewing,” says Gary Boyle, The Backyard Astronomer. He suggests ways to safely observe the partial event: - Eclipse glasses can be purchased from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (www.rasc.ca) and follow the links. - Baader solar filter for telescopes, binoculars and camera lenses - search online from telescope dealers. - #14 welders glass can be purchased from most local welding supply dealers. Not high enough quality to use with camera. Use Baader film. It may be a bit too late for some of those but one great idea, and a fun family project, is to build a pinhole camera, which will allow you to look at a projection of the sun (www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/learn/ project/how-to-make-a-pinhole-camera). Apparently trees produce natural pinhole cameras, with hundreds of crescent suns appear in its shadow. In this area, we will have to rely on others to see the eclipse in its full glory and there will be many options to see it streamed online. The Backyard Astronomer also reminds us that the Perseid Meteor Shower continues this month. “In our yearly lap around the Sun, Earth is approaching the dusty debris left over from the passage of Comet Swift-Tuttle. This comet produces one of the best meteor showers of the year – the Perseids.” It is an exciting time to be looking to the skies and enjoy the world’s wonders.

LETTER
Sculptor surprised by inflammatory article, letters Editor: We are indeed fortunate that so many people in and around Creemore are generous in supporting the community with their time and money. The Station on the Green, the Horticultural Park and the Farmers’ Market are excellent examples of the success of this spirit. My contribution was the Dress-up Dance sculpture in the Horticultural Park; four months of intensive work and about $65,000 of expense. I also subsequently contributed several thousand dollars for a maintenance fund to protect the sculpture. I have been very pleased to do all this: my reward has been many compliments and knowing that the work has brought joy to many people. Unfortunately the sculpture was allowed to deteriorate badly. The maintenance fund somehow evaporated, presumably being absorbed into a general operating budget, and the maintenance program was inadequate, resulting in an unsightly build-up of calcium on the bronze. My repeated requests for a clean-up were ignored and as recently as this May, the Station chairman wrote, “We may or may not tackle the statuary this year”. So I had my lawyer send a letter seeking an

assurance that the clean-up would be undertaken this summer. It had the intended effect: an August cleanup schedule was developed, the restorer was retained and the township and Station affirmed their “commitment... to maintain the sculpture... in good display condition”. We are now seeking a budgetary commitment to an effective maintenance program so that the problem does not occur again. What did surprise me was the inflammatory frontpage article in The Echo (“Fountain Sculptor Initiates Litigation”) and a couple of rather insulting letters from former Station board members, ignoring the issue of recent neglect and bizarrely and ironically denigrating my contribution while implying that I did not recognize others’ contributions of time and money. Where did that come from? But it’s not worth getting upset about. It’s time to cool down and move on. Let’s all respect each others’ work and donations and nurture Creemore’s spirit of generosity. And thanks to the township, the Station and volunteers for helping to keep the fountain going. Ralph Hicks, Mulmur.

Site and sculpture shabby, depressing: lawyer Editor: Ralph Hicks, the creator of the sculpture of dancing children which, for years, has been the central feature of the Station on the Green (SOG) and Horticultural Garden, recently wrote to Creemore and the SOG board saying how profoundly disappointed he was at the lamentable state the sculpture had been allowed to fall into, a state, he argues was as a result of neglect and failure by Creemore illuminati et al to clean and refurbish the sculpture on a regular basis. Anyone who has walked by the sculpture recently could not disagree with him. The fountain surround is crumbling, the benches are discoloured and decaying, the children in the sculpture are covered with a heavy patina of green verdigris and look distinctly unhappy. My impression was that the kids were eager to move onto another town where they might receive better care. The site and the sculpture are shabby and depressing. Rather than being a statement of pride and achievement by the town, it is has the appearance of something about to be dragged off to the sculpture equivalent of the knackers yard. Ralph enlisted me in his one-man
campaign to rescue his artwork from the decay and indifference which was about to engulf it. He met me at a musical event in June (Creemore inspired) and asked if I could help. I said I would. We talked about strategy and such things, and eventually broached the awful word “litigation”. Ralph and I are no strangers to litigation and we know that even a mere hint or whiff of litigation elicits nervous reactions. The following Echo issue for reasons I don’t understand took up the threat of litigation and rolled around in it like a dog in a dead raccoon. Big headlines grabbing attention. For Ralph and me litigation was a hollow threat, nothing more, we never believed the chief men of the town would need anything more than a gentle nudge to set things right. And the town did as we hoped. By next issue, the sculpture was to be accorded full spa treatment, bath, mani/pedi and a blow dry. There is an agreement that annual maintenance will continue into the future or until the world ends, whichever occurs first. However something unexpected incurred during all this which has left me mystified and frankly disappointed. My letter to the Town was a discrete and restrained piece.
It talked only about the sad state of the sculpture, how the sculpture was being ignored by the town and how the work of a world class artist was being marginalized much to his dismay. As part of my argument I said the Hicks piece was the single most valuable contribution to the SOG project. I thought then and still do that that is a true statement. I did not say nor did Hicks ever say the sculpture was more valuable than the boundless contributions of the many people who made the SOG a reality. However rather than publishing a letter or two agreeing with Hicks’ concern and agreeing the sculpture was in a deplorable state, The Echo published two letters implying Hicks overvalued his contribution, that thousands of volunteers gave their blood sweat and tears to the SOG project and in the final result who was Hicks to inflate his contribution beyond that of the many volunteers? Where did this come from? Nothing Hicks nor I contemplated, thought, did or imagined was in any manner whatever meant to raise or even suggest a comparison of the relative value of the contributions and efforts of Hicks versus the legions of unnamed volunteers. If you think about it for
a moment, the efforts of Hicks and the volunteers are fundamentally incomparable. How can you measure in any meaningful way hours of actual toil, or fund raising activities or lobbying against artistic inspiration and execution. Both deserve their praises but no reasonable person would conflate one with the other or suggest that by mentioning one activity in a newspaper article many years later, one group of contributors was being disparaged and devalued. Creemore has a superb public sculpture, one that brings pride to the town and enjoyment to countless visitors. Why can we all not be grateful for that special moment when the citizens of Creemore came together to do something special for the town and to now rejoice without qualification or acrimony at what has been created for the ages. Ernest Rovet, Mulmur.

improving but every minute of every day, a patient in Canada needs blood. Donors are needed to continue to answer the call for blood every day throughout the summer. “We are pleased by the strong support from donors during the month of June,” says Mark Donnison, vice-president, donor relations. “The outpouring of generosity across the country has, at times, led to longer lines in some clinics. We appreciate the patience of donors and trust they understand that together, we are giving life. Thanks to donors across Canada, the low blood inventory has been replenished but the need for blood remains. In fact, 155,000 donations are now required before Labour Day in September.” Given its short shelf life, the need for blood is constant. For example, cancer patients, accident victims, and people with blood disorders rely on blood transfusions every day. In addition, summer is historically
a challenging time of year for the blood system. Travel, holidays, family activities and changes in routines mean there tends to be fewer donations during the summer months. “As we head into August all blood types are needed, but a particular need remains for O negative blood because it is the only type compatible with all other blood types,” says Donnison. “While our supply of O negative blood has increased to a 3.9 day supply, we need to have between a five and eight day supply of blood and blood products to meet anticipated hospital demand.” Canadian Blood Services hopes existing donors will continue to give as much as they can, but new donors are critical to meeting Canada’s future blood needs.

Society of Creemore to augment the tree planting they have planned. “As the Stayner Lions Club serves all of Clearview Township and we do quite well when we are fundraising in the Creemore community, particularly with the car show and Copper Kettle Festival, we want to give them a few trees that they can add to their complement as well,” said Davidson. Initially the trees will be adorned with a ribbon in the Lions’ colours, blue and gold, so they can be easily identified. Next year, as part of the expansion of Station Park in Stayner, a larger maple tree will be planted there with a permanent marker explaining the tree planting project. “Seventy-five to 100 years from now, when we have canopy cover on our boulevards and in the park, people will know this was done to celebrate Canada 150 and the 100th anniversary of the Lions,” said Davidson. “We wanted to make this our project, done by us to give back to the community that has supported us so well over the 62 years of our club,” he said. A major fundraiser for the Stayner Lions Club is its annual car draw, now in its 47 year. A 2017 Ford Mustang convertible (above) is the grand prize this year. Tickets cost $10 each or three for $20. The draw is held Sept. 24 at the fall fair at the GNE. Visit www.staynerlions.ca for more information. For tickets, contact winthiscar@staynerlions.ca or 705-229-7627.

Mansfield Cubs win first junior title
by Scott Anderson The Mansfield Cubs won their first junior title after defeating the New Lowell Knights 9-4 on Aug. 9 in the North Dufferin Baseball League championship series. A game four was necessary after a comeback win from New Lowell the previous night in Lisle during game three. The game was originally scheduled for Aug. 3 but was postponed with thunderstorms in the area. The Cubs took a commanding lead behind a strong pitching performance of Jordan Metz for the first three innings in game three. In the fourth frame he faltered and allowed the Knights offense to take control with aggressive base running and scoring five runs on four walks and three hits. Mansfield had led the game 4-0 with two runs in the second and fourth inning. They managed another run in the fifth to tie the game, but New Lowell answered in their half of the inning scoring another two off Metz to take the lead and game. Kyle Besley, Jeff Christman, Jake Currie, Josh Johnston, and Trevor Foster had singles while Ryan McLean and Metz had two singles. Jacob Hall made it on base three times. Ben Cole led the Knights hitting two singles with Brandon Peart, Jeff Roberts, and Evan Tuckett adding
singles. Metz pitched 4 2/3 innings allowed seven runs on five hits, walked seven and struck out six. Jake Currie relieved him for 1 1/3 innings. He struck out one batter. Jeff Roberts started on the mound for the Knights and allowed four runs on nine hits, walked two and struck out three for his four innings of work. Kashtin Winchester pitched the last three innings and let in one run on three hits and walked one batter. The final game played in Mansfield had the Knights on the board first with two runs in the third inning. The Cubs quickly took the lead with three runs in their half of the inning and added one more in the fourth. In the fifth frame New Lowell plated two more runs to take the lead, but it was short lived when in the bottom of the inning Mansfield scored five runs to retake the lead and held off the Knights in the seventh for the championship title. New Lowell hits went to Winchester, Lucas Day, Konar Smith and Mathew Wilkins with Peart hitting a home run. Mansfield had nine singles including three from Hall, two from Johnston and Foster, Jamie Crain, Currie and Christman each with one. Johnston toed the rubber for the Cubs allowing four runs on five hits,
