Businesses seek ways to lift load restrictions by Trina Berlo Clearview businesses that rely on trucking showed up at council chambers Monday in full force to advocate for upgrades to two major roadways, therefore negating the need for half load restrictions. The restrictions are meant to protect roads from damage during the spring thaw by reducing the amount of allowable truck weight to five tons per axle. For the past year a group of residents, acting as the Clearview Road Upgrade Committee, has been working to find a way to lift the restrictions and they have come forward with a proposal they are hoping Clearview will champion at the county level. The committee represents businesses most affected by load restrictions on County Roads 9 and 42, also known locally as Airport Road. The goal is to bring the Creemore portion of County Road 9 and County Road 42 north to Highway 26 up to a standard, creating
a corridor that is unencumbered by load restrictions. Stayner Rental owner Paul Van Staveren and Creemore BIA past president Corey Finkelstein made the pitch Monday, requesting the township ask the County of Simcoe to use a new technology to stabilize a portion of both county roads, bringing them up to full load capacity, at a cost of $3-million (or $300,000 per kilometre). The new technology, as it was explained, would add a layer to absorb the weight of the trucks without damaging the road. This could be done at a fraction of the cost of what it would take to re-do the road. The committee sees it as an investment in economic development that comes with several perks. Load restrictions, reported Deputy Mayor Barry Burton, are costing local businesses in excess of $1.5-million annually in profits, added expenses and lost wages. Whether shipping product or getting deliveries, businesses that are

Farm community welcomes Nunavut students by Trina Berlo Creemore welcomed a group of students Wednesday from Nasivvik High School in Nunavut, giving them a taste of rural life. The visit was part of a cultural exchange with Collingwood Collegiate Institute students that took them to see the greenhouse at Stayner Collegiate Institute, try a butter tart at Giffen’s, sample jersey milk at Miller’s Dairy, lunch at the United Church, tour the Millsaps’ beef farm and the McLeods’ cash crop operation. The day was designed to give the 15 students from Pond Inlet, located in northern Baffin Island, a sense of farming and food production. Nasivvik High School teacher Brady Fischer grew up near Chesley and said he has shared stories about rural life with his students so he wanted them to be able

Inlet, where bagged milk sells for almost $13 and they don’t have access to a lot
of imported foods due to the high cost of shipping. The student group arrived Saturday after a 14-hour trip that required three separate flights, and are touring the area for one week. They are visiting Rama First Nation and meeting with Ojibwa elders, talking reconciliation, visiting Blue Mountain Resort, going to a Barrie Colts hockey game and finally, a day in Toronto to visit the CN Tower and Royal Ontario Museum before heading home. Student Mariah Erkloo said downhill skiing has been a highlight. She looks forward to welcoming 16 CCI students to Pond Inlet at the end of the month where they will travel by dogsled, build igloos and take in the mountainous landscape and glaciers, and they will spend a lot of time with the community’s Inuit elders learning about traditional Inuit culture.

Load restriction plan advances to county (Continued from page 1) the added expense, some businesses choose to park their loads, lay people off while they wait out the restrictive period or risk fines. The committee also points out the environmental impact of requiring that heavy trucks make multiple trips, burning two or three times more fuel. On Monday, Creemore Springs Brewery brewmaster Paul Swindall, Steer owner Tim Young, dairy farmer Collin Walker, and Alliance Homes developer Alex Troop all spoke in support of the proposal. Troop said he was staggered by the added costs associated with having to delay construction at the corner of County Road 9 and Mary Street, until road restrictions are lifted, when considering it could take 10-15 years to build out Alliance Homes. He said they could not take advantage of good spring weather to advance servicing, which is a significant setback in an industry that already has a limited season. Troop, like others, made the point that the costs are passed on to the consumer. Letters of support were received from 11 other businesses, including Midwest Metals owner Joan Gordon who helped spearhead the initiative. “These restrictions were mandated for when the roads were corduroyed

(logs for sub base) so I have been told by former road staff,” she wrote. “The condition of the roads has dramatically improved in the last 50 years therefore we believe it is time for the road restrictions to be lifted.” The committee also points out that the County of Simcoe already issues exemptions during the period for specific services, such as emergency services and sewage haulage. Clearview councillors supported the committee’s request to take their proposal to the county and to ask that the cost be considered in the 2019 county budget.

The way we were
Healing with Humboldt Sticks out. Jerseys on. People in this community are joining those around the world in a showing of sympathy for Saskatchewan’s Humboldt Broncos, engaging in small acts of support and charity that help us connect in a healing process after a tragedy that has left everyone feeling utterly helpless. One doesn’t have to have a child in hockey or to have played the sport to understand the strength of the hockey community. That community is in mourning after 16 people were killed, and many others injured, when the bus they were taking to a playoff game last week was involved in a collision with a transport truck. It has had a devastating ripple effect throughout the hockey community and beyond. The sadness has been felt by anyone who has been part of a close-knit team or has a child in their life who travels country roads by bus – that takes in just about everyone in rural areas. As you travel through the village this week, you may notice people have placed hockey sticks outside of their front doors as part of a movement started by two BC hockey moms and quickly spread throughout the world. Thursday was jersey day and students at NCPS were encouraged to wear their sports jerseys to school, an initiative speared by a different group of hockey moms. The Stayner Siskins held a moment of silence before Sunday’s game (Game 3 of the Schmalz Cup semi final against the Lakefield Chiefs) and made a donation to the team. Dairy Queen in Stayner and Wasaga Beach was selling Blizzards for Humboldt Broncos Thursday. And, this week local businesses were putting up green and gold ribbons – the Humboldt Broncos’ team colours – while Midwest Metals and the fire hall changed their signs to read Humboldt Strong. These are just a few examples of how local people are sympathizing with a community that is far away, but not very different from ours. Being a hockey town, like most towns in Canada big or small, residents want to do something to help. So much so that people are donating money to a number of online fundraising campaigns, which are far exceeding their goals. One campaign alone has raised millions of dollars. It is a wonderful outpouring of generosity. Coming up on April 14, Huronia West OPP and other first responders are playing a fundraising hockey game against Wasaga Beach Minor Hockey coaches. “The event has been in the works for a while. However, after learning of the recent tragedy near Humboldt, Saskatchewan, it has been decided that all proceeds from the event will go to the Humboldt Broncos Hockey Team. Organizers will be taking donations at the door. Food, raffle prizes and a 50/50 draw will happen during the game,” said police. The game is at Wasaga Stars Arena this Saturday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Knowing the needs should be first step Editor: I was astounded that Clearview has announced the spending of over $60,000 on a new website with a company in British Columbia that is three hours behind us in time zone. We have many excellent people here that could do the job, if it is needed. I was particularly concerned that after announcing the spending they then asked for suggestions about what should be on the site. I have worked for a lot of very large corporate websites for many years and I can tell you that none of them paid for a site and then
Long-term consequences should be considered Editor: Just remembered all the rhetoric back in 70s and early 80s about forests being cut and the need for plastic bags instead of paper sacks. Guess that wasnʼt clearly thought through. Seems landfills have been having a great time ever since for that one. Maybe people in government

and lobby groups should actually think of long-term consequences instead of pocketing money from groups with their own agenda? Government is never an answer but usually the problem. Mike Weir, Creemore.

Church engages youth in annual DR mission by Clayton Culham It was warm and sunny, but it definitely wasn’t a vacation. A group of 22 people from Clearview Community Church travelled to the Sosua region of the Dominican Republic for a one week Mission Trip in February. Our group was made up of people from all ages and all experiences in missions trips. For some, this was their fifth time returning, for others it was their first time leaving Ontario. Each year Clearview Community Church sends a team to Sosua and partners with full time missionaries Rob and Tina Ianonne who run Willing Servant Ministries, a Mission organization that serves in the Sosua area. For over a decade the church has sent teams every year of people ranging from five to 22 people. This year the team participated in a building project for a family in poverty, children’s programs, and serving at the medical clinic run by Willing Servant Ministries. The building project was located in a poverty stricken village called La Viga. Many of the houses are no more than tin and cardboard shacks that do not provide safety from the elements or proper sanitation. Many of those houses do not have running water or washroom facilities. This year’s team helped continue a work project started the week before that included mixing cement (by hand, no mixer), digging a septic tank out of the clay ground, sifting sand, smooth

This house was being built for a married couple with children in that village. Clearview Community Church has helped build multiple buildings in the past, including houses and a church building. At the three children’s programs, the team presented a skit, led songs and played games with over 350 children.

the team members were even given an opportunity to serve while the clinic was open. We do it because we know that we are able to help those who need it, and as a church, that is what God asks us to do; help those who need it the best we can. Combining the medical supplies and the children program supplies, our team brought 27 luggage bags full of mission aid, approximately 1,300 pounds worth. Clearview Community Church fundraises throughout the year for this mission trip. Each summer at the Stayner site there is a large yard sale, each winter there is a fundraising dinner, along with medical supply drives, euchre fundraising nights and other opportunities. The way that I have explained it before is that it is a church wide mission, a church wide commitment, and we send representatives every year to give Willing Servant Ministries some help. One of the highlights was to see the work commitment shown by so many young people. Of the 22 individuals on the team, 12 of them were 26 years old or younger. That young group were committed to the training that took six months beforehand, and on arrival were willing servants doing whatever they were asked with integrity and incredible effort.

Four local artists dive into primordial waters by Trina Berlo Artist Sue Miller continues to expand her exploration of people and their connection to the nature. A new show, Primordial Waters, is an deeper exploration of her installation called Georgian Bay Primordial, which was first shown in Collingwood in 2016 and an expanded version at the Dufferin County Museum over the New Year. This third incarnation, supported by three other local artists, will be shown in Orillia, with an opening reception on Earth Day. Sculpture, painting, recorded sound, video and backlit resin blocks serve to create an immersive experience that encourages people to think about their connection to water. Humans are drawn to water, said Miller. “It is about the spiritual connection to water and what we get out of it.” Because water and habitats are under threats from development, it is up to people to be good stewards. Joining Miller at the Orillia Museum of Art and History (OMAH) is fellow Mill Street Art Studio

painter Peter Adams, paper artist Liz Eakins and Frith Bail, working in clay. All four artists are working with the theme of water but each one has been working independently. “The four of us have shown together in the past but this is the first time we’ve had this degree of freedom to create all new work on a theme. I really don’t know what the others are creating, but I’m really looking forward to seeing how the different pieces speak to each other,” said Adams. Traditionally an oil painter, Adams has been working in mixed media the last few years combining different layers of oil paint, acrylic washes, paint markers, oil sticks and spray paint. Water has been a common thread in much of his work over the years, from the creeks of Mulmur, to the Noisy River to Georgian Bay. Several of the pieces in this exhibit have been inspired by the Amazonian artist residency he participated in last summer. Eakins is exploring new work in Japanese paper, painting with different mediums such as milk paint,

How to Sell Your Creemore / Mulmur Home Yourself: 10 Tips Real Estate Agents Don't Want You to Know
Collingwood - If you've tried to sell your home yourself, you know that the minute you put the "For Sale by Owner" sign up, the phone will start to ring off the hook. Unfortunately, most calls aren't from prospective buyers, but rather from every real estate agent in town who will start to hound you for your listing. Like other "For Sale by Owners", you'll be subjected to a hundred sales pitches from agents who will tell you how great they are and how you can't possibly sell your home by yourself. After all, without the proper information, selling a home isn't easy. Perhaps you've had your home on the market for several months with no offers from qualified buyers. This can be a very frustrating time, and many homeowners have given up their dreams of selling their homes themselves. But don't give up until you've read a new report entitled "Sell Your Own Home" which has been prepared especially for homesellers like you. You'll find that selling your home by yourself is entirely possible once you understand the process. Inside this report, you'll find 10 inside tips to selling your home by yourself which will help you sell for the best price in the shortest amount of time. You'll find out what real estate agents don't want you to know. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1- 800-611-8516 and enter 3017. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how you really can sell your home yourself.

Treblemakers adult community choirs begin spring term
Conductor Penelope Dale and her husband, pianist Richard Maddock, have succeeded in bringing a love of singing to a widespread number of communities in the Georgian Triangle. After only four years they have built an enthusiastic interest in singing throughout the countryside. They recently led a massed choir of more than 65 choristers of all ages through an uplifting program of favourites at St. John’s United Church, Creemore. They now have five Treblemaker choirs in Barrie, Collingwood, Creemore, Toronto and in Wasaga Beach, where they now live. Their numbers are about 85 in these towns and 40 more in Toronto. Research shows community singing
benefits mental health, mental acuity and general wellbeing. It is easy to “forget your troubles” when singing! Dale has a beautiful well-trained voice and enchanted the audience with two solos. Maddock, is a jazz pianist who used to play for the National Ballet School and is a joy to watch and to hear. He accompanies the choirs with tremendous rhythm, skill and energy. They added percussionist Pieter Huyer for the concerts contributing to the rhythmic undertone of the performances. If you like to sing, the new term is starting this week. Visit TheTreblemakers.ca or contact Joan VanDuzer, Toronto Treblemaker, at 416-432-4934.

New Lowell United Church thrilled with Easter present Palm Sunday was very special at New Lowell United Church when they were surprised with a donation of $1,600 to cover the price of an AED. The church had decided to fundraise for this life saving device as recent years they have had a few incidents and now that the church is a community based accessible building it seems wise to have an AED. Legion members Lorne and Marilyn McLellan presented this need to the New Lowell Legion and they graciously looked into their Poppy Fund account and decided that they would buy this for the church.
What a great feeling throughout the church that day as the community again grew in links with working together to make New Lowell a safe comfortable place for all ages to live. The surprise was on all faces especially seen in the picture at right: Legion Poppy Fund president Roy Pollack (from left), Lorne McLellan, Marilyn McLellan and Barbara Wynia, members of the Board of Stewards. The only wish from Roy is that we never have to use this device. Thank you to all Legion Members for helping your Community Church yet again!
