Climber falls from rock face at Devil's Glen

by Trina Berlo A man was airlifted to Toronto hospital Sunday afternoon after he fell while rock climbing near Singhampton.

The 38-year-old Toronto man fell while rock climbing at Devil’s Glen Provincial Park.

“An initial OPP investigation revealed that a group of four climbers from a climbing club from Toronto attended to climb this rock face.

While two members of this group were in the process of ascending this rock face one of the members fell approximately 30 feet when “cams”

(rope securing devices that are placed into rock crevices) did not hold,” said Huronia West OPP Const. Mark Kinney in a news release.

Clearview firefighters responded to the call, along with paramedics and police.

“Upon arrival we were met by some hikers who escorted our crews to the location of the incident,” said Clearview Township Fire Chief Colin Shewell.

Going in on foot and using an ATV, rescuers were able to reach the injured man and stabilize him before the Ornge air ambulance crew arrived

to take him to the awaiting helicopter.

They then had to transport the patient one kilometre over rocky and dangerous terrain.

It took more than two hours to get the injured climber to the air ambulance waiting in a farm field at County Rd. 124 and Concession 10.

“It went fairly well. By the time you get crews and equipment in there and get back out, I think it took about two-and-a-half hours to do the rescue,” said Shewell. “By the time you get all the equipment in and stabilize him enough to get him out to the helicopter and then walk out

over a kilometre.”

He said they had all the resources, with equipment and paramedics present.

“Best you could do in a remote location, where people are doing recreational activity, obviously we are at the ready to supply those type of resources. Sometimes it just takes time to get the resources to you when you choose to do recreational activities out in those areas,” said Shewell.

The injured man is said to have life-threatening injuries but was in stable condition.

New display tells the story behind Station replica

by Trina Berlo The train that once passed through Creemore may not have been the fastest or the most profitable of railways but it played an important role in the growth of the village of Creemore.

Those who understood and appreciated its history were determined to build a community centre in the image of Creemore’s old train station, which burned down around the time the decommissioning of the railway.

Bill Mann was a part of the team that proposed building the Station on the Green in the old railway yard as a millennial project and he always wanted the building to tell the story of Creemore’s railway history.

“I always wanted some recognition of the village’s railway past but it got lost in the dark recesses of people’s minds,” said Mann.

He collected photos and stories about the railway, relying on history collected by local people, including that penned by Helen Blackburn and train enthusiasts Charles Cooper and Robert Sandusky, and then worked them into a display board now mounted inside the main doors of Station on the Green.

Built by the Hamilton and Northwest Railway from 1878-1879, trains travelled the 40-mile route between Beeton and Collingwood, with 12 stations, Creemore and Alliston being the main centres.

The lightweight rails used in its construction limited the size of the engines and therefore the number of cars that could be pulled, because the train didn’t have enough power to traverse the hilly terrain.

The train went through twice each day, except Sundays, and carried mail, freight and passengers.

Only in the early days did the train have a lot of passengers. For them, the hour or two train ride to Collingwood or Beeton would have seemed very

fast, compared to travelling by horse and wagon.

The train, nicknamed the Hog Special for its smelly four-legged passengers and the Virginia Creeper for its pace, also carried firewood.

In 1906 the Grand Trunk Railway built a grand train station in the village but shortly afterward, the replacement of firewood as a home heating fuel resulted in a decline in shipping volumes and the already low number

Clearview proceeds with revitalization plan

by Trina Berlo Clearview council has accepted a proposal from Stefan Bollinger Associates Inc. Landscape Architects for the redevelopment of a Downtown Open Space (Amenities) Improvement Plan known as the Station Park/Gideon Street Redevelopment in Stayner.

The $24,337.50 fee was one of two comparable quotes received.

The plan will identify, prioritize and provide an implementation strategy for the phased improvement of publicly owned lands in Stayner’s downtown

core.

Station Park, Gideon Street around town hall and the rail trail connecting to the downtown and over to Kinsmen Park.

The original concept, approved by council in 2015, included the closure of Gideon Street to vehicular traffic to make room for buildings and park space, a town square, possibly with a splash pad in the summer and skating in the winter, improvements to the intersection of Highway 26 and Huron (See “Staff” on page 12)

of passengers shrunk to one rider per day.

In the end, it was trucking that killed the railway as a mode of shipping, said Mann.

The railway closed in 1955, then under the ownership of Canadian National Railway. That spring the train station was destroyed by fire.

Lightening was blamed but never confirmed. The old original station was resurrected as a passenger waiting area

until the service was completely shut down in October.

A crowd of more than 200 people is said to have come out to see the train make its last passenger run, decorated by the local undertaker with a wreath and a sign that read, “a fond farewell from the citizens of Creemore”.

The railway south of Creemore was decommissioned but freight continued to be shipped from Collingwood to Creemore until 1960.

The way we were

There is a place in modern society for old fashioned funerals My mother-in-law offered me a piece of advice: If a family member says they don’t want a funeral after they die, ignore them.

The funeral is not for the dead. It is for the living, she said adamantly.

This may not be a typical topic of conversation for the Thanksgiving dinner table, but I wholeheartedly believe that while discussing things to be grateful for (the in-laws agreed it was that we are living in a Trumpless Canada) there is room to note what we are not thankful for, and that is a disturbing trend away from the traditional funeral.

Days later my side of the family gathered for a send off to my mother’s aunt. It was a sad day for her son and his family but overall the funeral was the best of its kind, when family gets together to share stories, and there is lots of laughter to go with the tears. At these types of gatherings, you’ll always hear people saying that they only seem to see each other at weddings and funerals.

It is astonishing that there is always something to be learned about a dear friend or family member at their funeral. You wonder how it is you hadn’t known.

Saying goodbye to someone who has lived a long, full life is much easier than saying goodbye to someone whose life has been cut short, but regardless of the circumstances, there is something in us that makes people want to come together.

Yes, funerals can be expensive but they can be tailored to suit. Not knowing the stats on funerals, this observation about a changing attitude toward funerals is anecdotal. It can be said with some certainty that there is a shift toward celebrations of life, perhaps a while after cremation has taken place. This type of gathering fully meets the goal of creating an opportunity for fellowship, so people can mark the end of someone’s life as part of the grieving process.

The in-laws agreed that a mighty party with a full buffet and an open bar is the best way to be sent off to the afterlife, or the next. Heck, you’re not footing the bill.

I didn’t have the heart to tell them about the grandiose send-off I have in mind for my own funeral (they already think I am a bit strange) but my son has been given strict instructions for a very traditional funeral – so traditional it may not be legal.

We are always encouraged to talk to our loved ones about what we want for our funeral but maybe we should be asking them, what they want because mother-in-law is right. The funeral is for them.

So, it seems there are two conversations that need to take place. The first is about what is to be done with the body. Are there strong opinions about traditional burial, cremation or some of the newer techniques like green burials, which our columnist Cat Flack wrote about not too long ago? As for the send-off, maybe we should defer to the grievers.

Sign obstruct landmark attractions Editor: CRASS - lacking sensitivity, refinement, or intelligence.

That’s a one-word description for the new signage “designed” by the Township of Clearview now being sited to ruin the many “photo ops” around Creemore!

The non-governmental Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society has already placed well written, non-intrusive informative plaques at many locations around Creemore providing visitors and residents with in-depth information about the history of what was once our “idyllic” village, each one sensitively sized and sighted so that they augment rather than “hijack” the focus of each location.

Clearview Township is now adding oversized ugly “name tags” in front of some of our “photo ops” in order to justify the dream of the current administration to make Clearview a tourist trap by placing their oversized, poorly located, CRASS, failed branding result smack dab in front of everything!

What’s next, neon signs?

Why not invest our tax dollars in completing the infrastructure (sidewalks around our parks and along the roads used by speeders) before creating more

Food for thought… and preventative medicine

by Dr. Maggie Pattillo It was nice while it lasted, but that late September heat wave is starting to feel like a distant memory. It’s officially fall and while there’s something comforting about the colourful leaves and bundling up to face the cooler temperatures, this season also brings a fair amount of discomfort with an increased prevalence of colds, flus, scratchy throats, and clogged sinuses. What is it about fall that causes an increased risk of infection?

Science points towards a combination of factors including change in air temperature, more time spent inside sharing indoor air, and decreased exposure and absorption of vitamin D. So, instead of crossing your fingers and hoping you’ll get lucky by dodging a respiratory infection this fall, why not focus on prevention with something we all love anyway: Food – not just any food – local and seasonal food!

Local and in-season food is fresher, so it has more flavour and it’s as close as you’ll get to peak nutrient value, packed with micronutrients your system needs to stay healthy. An easy way to find the fall veggies that best support your immune function at this time of year is to look for those that mimic the changing leaves.

Orange vegetables such as butternut squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes

are high in Vitamin A – an immune system building block. Vitamin A helps to build and maintain the mucus membranes in your mouth, nose, and gut. Mucus membranes are an important barrier against infection, but even when germs do make it past them, Vitamin A continues to work for you by helping to build the immune army that fights germs.

If you’re decorating for the season, don’t forget to enjoy the seeds from your pumpkin, as they are a great source of zinc and much needed protein, fat, and antioxidants – key

the days shorten and we become more accustomed to darkness, are you still getting that good night’s sleep? Our bodies need sleep to maintain immune health. If you’re dipping below seven hours, you’re at a statistically heightened risk for the common cold.

The magnesium in your local fall veggies also helps to regulate cortisol, the hormone our body releases when we’re stressed. High cortisol levels kick the immune system offline, so germs have an easier time entering and becoming infections. Managing cortisol with the right foods and the right amount of sleep is a crucial part of supporting your fall wellness.

These dark green vegetables are also high in fiber. When it gets broken down by the bacteria that live in our bellies, vegetable fibres further promote growth and diversity of beneficial gut bacteria. And with the gut acting as such an integral part of the immune system, it is important to keep the good bacteria thriving.

Your local farmers have harvested a bounty of medicines to keep you healthy this season and the best part — no teaspoon of sugar is needed; this medicine tastes great!

Winning apple pie

by Beth Malloy My recipe is a combination of my mother Suzanne Malloy’s input, and baker’s hands Tony Weldon’s taste buds and encouragement, and the cookbook In the Sweet Kitchen by Regan Daley.

Pastry 2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup lard - cold - cut in pieces 5 tbsp unsalted butter - cold - cut in pieces 1/4 cup ice water 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Method Staff photos: Trina Berlo

Sweet as Pie The winner of this year’s apple pie contest, held each Thanksgiving weekend at the Creemore Farmers’ Market, is Beth Malloy (above centre) flanked by second place winner Julie Romanow (left) and third place winner Catherine Marti.

The Echo thanks those who braved the rain to deliver pies, which were expertly judged by Elise Beauregard, pictured left, Linda Cockton, to her right, and Phil Richmond, pictured below serving pie to the gathering crowd. The public was invited to taste the contestants’ pies for a donation to the charity of the winner’s choice.

As a result, $100.20 is being donated to RAY’s Place.

Can be made by hand (with two knives), or in a food processor.

I like using a cold metal bowl or if using a food processor keep the blade in the freezer till ready to use All ingredients should be cold - keep in refrigerator until ready to use Sift flour and salt together Add the cubed lard and butter and combine until pea size Combine water and egg together in a small bowl Pour half of egg/water into mixture - add more as required - dough should hold together when squeezed between fingers - not moist or dry Gather together the dough - will be somewhat loose - divide into two piles - wrapping each in cello wrap - squish a bit into a disc shape - put in refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours - can be kept in fridge for three days - or frozen for 3 months When ready to use remove from fridge - let sit for about 30 minutes before rolling out

Filling Heat oven to 4000F 9” pie plate - enamel or aluminum pie plate makes a crisper pie Combination of Spy and MacIntosh apples (Cortland works well also) About three pounds in total per pie Peel and cube apples Juice of half a lemon 3/4 cup of sugar 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tbsp flour

Method Combine in a bowl the apples, lemon, sugar, cinnamon and flour.

Roll out one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface and line the pan.

Add the apples – mound higher than the plate as they reduce in baking. Squish down with hands.

Roll out the second dough disc – make a little larger than the dish and place and press on top.

Cut off any excess and crimp edges. Brush lightly beaten egg on top and sprinkle granulated sugar.

Cut 4-6 slits in top Place in oven on a baking sheet - turn oven down to 3750F – bake for 50-60 minutes Ready when golden brown and bubbly.

In a case of mistaken identity, Clearview Township Mayor Christopher Vanderkruys (top right) was arrested by a group of constables, led by Chris Raible (top left), Saturday and thrown in Creemore’s jail. After being marched through the farmers’ market to his cell, Vanderkruys was held until Deputy Mayor Barry Burton vouched for him, confirming he is indeed the real mayor. All charges of impersonation and identity theft were dropped and the mayor was absolved before a crowd of onlookers gathered to celebrate the 125th anniversary of North America’s smallest jail. As the mayor cut the anniversary cake, he discovered a steel saw blade inside the cake. Gerry Blackburn (left) entertained the crowd with stories about the jail and Fran Webster and Bob Presner sang jailhouse songs (above right).

Devil’s Glen Country Club EXECUTIVE CHEF/COOK JOB POSTING Devil’s Glen Country Club, a private ski club in the Creemore area, is seeking a qualified person to provide food and beverage services for our members and guests.

The re-opening of Creemore’s historic jail in the 1970s was a community collective effort led by Reg Westbrooke, editor of The Creemore Star. The success of last week’s celebration of the Jail’s 125th anniversary was in no small way due to its being so well publicized in The Creemore Echo. Thank you.

We can all also be thankful for all the Creemore merchants who helped promote the event. Everything needed was obtained locally – from Affairs (cake), Home Hardware (file), Foodland (plates, forks, water), and Greenview Graphics (hats).

The arrest of Clearview Mayor Chris Vanderkruys was accomplished by Constable Dorothy Shropshire, Deputies Murray Lackie and Ian McLeod, Bailiff Chris Raible, and Jailors Bill Mann and Paul Vorstermans. His release was enabled by Deputy Mayor Barry Burton.

Musicians Fran Webster and Bob Presner, who met only a few minutes before performing together, delighted the crowd with jail songs, their efforts enhanced by technician Brad Holden using Avening Hall audio equipment, borrowed by Bill Hewitt. Gerry Blackburn told stories of earlier days at the Jail. Artifacts and articles on display were supplied by Helen Blackburn, Bob Curran, George Kennedy, and John Wiggins. The whole affair was warmly hosted Barbara Mann, Michele McKenzie and Pat Raible.

Clearview Township lent tents, chairs and promotional assistance thanks to Dan Gowan, Tim Hendry, Amanda Murray, Terry Vachon, and Lily White.

And thanks to all who, despite some rain, came to be part of the whole celebration.

In Creemore we continue to take pride in being a community with a big heart and a world-famous little jail.

Chris Raible, Chair, ad hoc committee to plan the celebration.

Staff wants to hear from the experts (Continued from page 3) Street to make it more pedestrian friendly and enhance trail access, a renovated visitor centre and a multipurpose area for events and farmers’ market.

Clearview Township’s director of community services Mara Burton said of the plans developed in-house, staff will wait and see what the landscape architects propose for the road closure.

“We really want to talk to the professionals about that and see, maybe they will have some other ideas or maybe that will be the thing to do. We don’t really know,” said Burton. “We started with a concept so they have something to jump off of but I don’t want to presume what he may suggest.”

The plans are expected to come back to council and staff sometime in the New Year.

The Creemore Farmers' Market made two donations Oct. 7, at the final market of the regular season. The market has done well in the past two years by growing its vendor base and in gratitude, the board has decided to give back to the community that supports its vendors. Above: Market manager Helen Martin presents a $1,000 cheque to Station on the Green board chair Bill McDougall for the maintenance of the fountain. The fountain is a main attraction to so many children and their families during market hours and it is a pleasure to watch the children playing around it.

Ryan McNally was a student volunteer at the Creemore Farmers' Market this summer. He went above and beyond the required volunteer hours so he was presented with a cheque for $50, as a gesture of the board's appreciation.
