Mulmur fishing hole gets some TLC
Treat Dad to Fire, Beards and Axes
by Trina Berlo The revitalization of the Pine River Provincial Fishing Area in Mulmur is the result of a collaborative effort to clean-up the park and restock the river. Mayor Paul Mills said the Friends of the Pine River, which formed in December, convinced the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) to restock the river and on May 30, 10,000 Speckled (Brook) Trout were released into The Pine. The river was last stocked 26 years ago. Leading up to the release, volunteers did a big clean-up of the area, which has been abused by people who dump garbage and party in the remote location. Mills said the area does attract hooligans and the clean-up effort was not without its setbacks. A new fish cleaning station built by Matt Boso was destroyed and burned. Mills said it is a real shame because Boso, a volunteer firefighter, but a lot of time and energy, and his own money, into building the station and everyone was really pleased with it. The effort to reclaim the fishing area and make it a family friendly place is a collaborative effort, said Mills. Mulmur
On Father’s Day, Creemore will celebrate the good guys with Fire, Beards and Axes. “Men are taking a real bashing lately. Some of them deserve it but we need to celebrate good men and good fathers,” said organizer and BIA president Jackie Durnford. Lumberjacks, beards, beer, cooking with fire, axe throwing, diaper changing – it’s all part of the fun. The BIA event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dads, and their loved ones, are invited to come out and enjoy a free lumberjack show on Mill Street on Sunday, June 17 at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Other activities include a dad triathlon, beard and braiding seminars and competitions, plus beer and bucks (the financial kind) workshops. Chefs and circus lumberjacks will be on site to show their chops. Dad can even try axe-throwing or enjoy a gourmet woodfired picnic lunch with the whole family. To sign up for free activities, or buy passes to select events visit www. experiencecreemore.com/fba. In the morning the Legion is hosting a Father’s Day breakfast (see calendar on page 2 for details).

Mills said the hope is that vandals will be dissuaded from targeting the area with more people using the park and the added police presence.
The township also did some work to improve the driveway and parking lot area and many individuals have contributed labour and expertise. Steven Murphy, avid angler and (See “Kids” on page 3)
NCPS gets gold healthy school certification by Trina Berlo Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School is counted among 15 Simcoe County District School Board schools to receive Healthy Schools certifications from Ophea. NCPS achieved a gold level certification for its focus on mental health, by creating classroom calming corners, where a designated physical environment was designed to allow students to quickly access a quieter location to practice self-regulation and calming strategies. Principal Mark McCain said he formed an NCPS Healthy Schools Committee to focus on supporting mental health, based on data collected
in a school climate survey. The committee includes three additional staff members – Mrs. Pike, Mrs. Doner-Day, and Mrs. Floyd, student leaders in Grades 6-8, and the community health nurse who planned and created classroom calming corners in various classrooms around the school, modeled after the school’s sensory room. “These calming corners are a designated physical environment designed to allow students to quickly access a quieter location to practice prescribed self-regulation and calming strategies,” said McCain. “The spaces include visuals of breathing practices, soft lighting, kinesthetic manipulatives, mats/beanbag chairs, noise-cancelling

headphones and other mindful resources.” Ophea is a not-for-profit organization that champions healthy, active living in schools and communities and leads the provincial Healthy Schools initiative. O p h e a ’s H e a l t h y S c h o o l s Certification recognizes and celebrates school communities for promoting and enhancing the health and wellbeing of students, school staff and the broader community. Participating schools complete the Six-Step Healthy Schools Process, which aligns with the Ministry of Education’s Foundations for a Healthy School resource. Through a point-based system, schools planned their Healthy Schools process over
the course of the school year. Schools outline the steps needed to achieve certification and apply to be certified as a gold, silver or bronze. “We are proud to be part of the 238 schools across Ontario that have been certified as being a healthy school,” says Paula Murphy, Superintendent of Education and Well-Being, SCSDB. “Our schools focused on many areas - physical activity, healthy eating, safety and injury prevention, growth and development, mental health and addictions – to support the SCDSB’s strategic goal of well-being.” SCDSB schools earned seven golds, three silvers, four bronzes and one participant level certification.

A newly released speckled trout at the Pine River Provincial Fishing Area in Mulmur.
Kid's fishing derby June 30 (Continued from page 1) County of Dufferin staffer, said the Friends of the Pine River are currently negotiating with Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority to become a subsidiary of that organization. Once the negotiations are complete the Friends will focus on projects throughout the Pine River watershed. The Pine River Provincial Fishing Area (PRPFA) is a provincial park dedicated to low impact outdoor pursuits such as fishing, hiking, picnicking, bird/wildlife watching, etc. “The trout are yearlings and average about eight inches in length. These fish will grow considerably in this environment and should provide great opportunities for families to go fishing
together,” said Murphy. The Friends of the Pine River is made up of about 30 members and they are recruiting. (Find them on Facebook.) They said, “Although the trout had a long trip on a hot day to get here, they appeared to suffer no ill effects and the mortality rate was extremely low. We can hardly wait to see these fish grow and provide enhanced fishing opportunities in the Pine River Fishing Area.” There will be a kids fishing derby June 30 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., the morning of Mulmur Day activities at town hall, beginning at 4 p.m. The Pine River Fishing Area is located west of Honeywood, at River Road and Prince of Wales Road.

by Trina Berlo There is more money available for signage and lighting through a newish township program that incentivizes façade improvements for businesses. Clearview has received $50,000 in provincial grant money that can be doled out through community improvement plans for main street businesses. C l e a r v i e w ’s c o m m u n i t y improvement plan (CIP), implemented last year, funded half of the cost to certain work up to $5,000. On May 28, council agreed to use the grant money to increase the funding to 80 per cent up to $10,000 for high quality signage and associated lighting that meet the existing guidelines. The other eligible façade improvements, such as doors and windows, awnings, and some architectural features, are still funded 50/50. Clearview’s director of community services, Mara Burton, said 20

applications were received in the program’s first year and nine were approved. She said with the cost of quality signs, even at 50 per cent funding, the program may be cost prohibitive to some business owners and tenants. “An awning and lettering can cost $6,000 to $8,000, plus gooseneck lighting can be another $3,000. Therefore, business owners need to come up with some $5,000 to take advantage of the program. If funding were increased to 80 per cent for these items, business owners could cover signage and associated lighting worth $10,000 for a $2,000 investment,” reported Burton. The CIP was also amended to include opportunities for accessibility into commercial establishments, should council earmark funding for this initiative sometime in the future. Application deadline is July 21. Guidelines can be found at clearview. ca.

Thank you for the support We want to give a big thank you to everyone who has supported The Echo during this year’s subscription drive. We have received many words of encouragement and expressions of gratitude for keeping this little newspaper going and that means a lot to us. We do hope that in addition to becoming a subscriber, booster or champion that people will continue to engage by letting us know what is happening in the community (especially the news that people will let us put in the paper). It has been really fun to meet readers at the Creemore Farmers’ Market these past weeks, hear feedback and chat about the importance of community newspapers in these uncertain times. But it is the support of the community that keeps the paper going and we are all better for having a source of local news and information. Here's a shout-out to this week's boosters and champions:

The technician Cat then used a little gamma FLACK ray attracter to pull all the radiation into a spot that she could mark with a big black circle on my skin so the surgeon would be able to locate them easily rather than digging around, therefore causing less trauma to the area.

First thing I want to say is a big thank you to all who have wished me luck and sent good karma my way. I was touched by the letter that Mr. Johnson wrote, a sincere thank you. Some might wonder why I would have written about my cancer in the paper, well I am going to tell you. I have lived in Creemore for more than 20 years, and can’t imagine living anywhere else. I had a client in my hairdressing days, who I will call Mrs. A. I was going to the post office to check the mail when a person said to me that Mrs. A had prostate cancer. I shook my head and said, impossible, women don’t have prostates, only men do. The person said, well then I don’t know what the hell she has. By disclosing my own news I am keeping the information correct. I had my surgery last Thursday and it was an interesting experience. The first thing that happened was three very sharp needles about eight inches long (I think they were that long, but maybe only two inches) were injected into the affected

Family drama in the face of change by Liz van Ryn There is often a lot of family drama that unfolds when one person in the family decides that something needs to change. Many of us humans like things to stay the same, especially when it comes to family. We find comfort in the “familiar”, even if it is unpleasant. When someone wants to change things, the more primitive parts of our brain send out danger signals and we take evasive action. We each have our own unique evasion strategies that are basic variations on fight, or flight – hence the family drama. There may be arguments (fight), or an increase in avoidance behaviour (flight). It is important to understand that family members feel genuinely threatened. Why is change so threatening? At the simplest level, being asked to change automatically implies that something wasn’t good enough. “I want to change something” from one family member gets translated into “I must not be good enough” for the other family member. Change stirs up our fears about inadequacy, unloveableness, and unmet expectations, whether they are our own or someone else’s. These doubts are inside all of us and nobody likes to have them stirred up. We also know that change involves loss. In gaining something, it is inevitable that something else is lost. It never seems quite fair, but that’s how it works. So why take a chance on giving up what you have for something new that might not be as good? Add to that the risk of stirring up a “fight” response, or experiencing the loneliness created by a loved one’s flight response – it is a wonder that anyone ever has the courage to change at all.
But surely, the ability to make a change is within our fundamental human rights? When one person is no longer willing or able to tolerate a situation, there must be a way that they can say, “I want things to change” without the threat of the whole household falling into chaos. Fortunately, there are some tried and true methods. Owning your feelings is a courageous key step that is often missed in favour of the ever-popular strategy of blaming your feelings on someone else. And having compassion and understanding instead of judgment for the other family members is another key step. Let’s face it – we all are familiar with judgment and blame. However, when we voice our feelings without blame, and take into account the fact that our feelings are going to create anxiety in the other family members we have started on the road to making things better for the family. It won’t feel “familiar” or good in the beginning, but the pay-off is huge when we persist. As with all things in the inter-personal realm, none of this is particularly easy. But as we move through the stages of our lives as human beings, we need to continue to grow, because if we don’t, we will stagnate. Annoying habits become worse, comfort zones become narrower, coping mechanisms no longer work, and our world becomes smaller and more constrained. Asking for change is about supporting our family to grow – it is a huge act of love that requires courage, compassion, and persistence.

Bluebird nest box project engages area students by Trina Berlo Kyle Regeling has been tramping through fields and dodging poop puddles, all in the name of education. He has been making videos to document the progress of several bluebird nesting boxes he has installed at Not So Hollow Farm in Mulmur, where he works. Regeling invited area schools to participate in the program by decorating the boxes and following the nesting process. Regeling put out 10 new nest boxes assigned to area schools, in addition to an existing one at Not So Hollow Farm. Timothy Christian School in Barrie, Pretty River Academy in Collingwood, Primrose Elementary School in Mulmur, Tosorontio Central Public School in Everett and Orangeville Christian School all decorated boxes. Students participating in the program are watching the videos during classtime to see the progress of the nests. Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School has also been following their progress. “I wanted to connect people with this project,” said Regeling. Physically, even if students were to visit the farm, they wouldn’t be able to get to all of the boxes because they are too remote and are far apart from each other. I thought this would be a great way to show them the whole process and connect them with the

Last week, those chicks hatched, and some of the other boxes were found to have eggs from tree swallows and house wrens. As not to disturb the nest, he uses his phone to film inside the nest. “They just sit there all curled up unless you make a little bit of a noise, because they think its one of the parents coming back to feed them. Then they all pop up and start peeping and open their mouths wide. I did end up getting that,” said Regeling. Wa t c h t h e v i d e o s a t w w w. notsohollowfarm.ca.

Feedback from NCPS Mrs. Floyd’s Grade 1-2 class: My students love the videos. They have been enthralled with the project right from the beginning. We have talked a lot about the various types of birds that have built nests in the
boxes. What has also happened is, the students are more aware of other birds that they see around and they often come to school with stories of nests and birds they’ve seen around their homes or on family outings. It’s awesome to see the excitement (See “Bluebird” on page 10)

New Gowan Park ball diamond complete
Thoughts turn to Frankenstein as straps click (Continued from page 4) am who they think I am, warm blankets and generally trying to make you relax. It was all good till they put the big leather strap across your legs and you hear the big click. I then thought of Frankenstein as I drifted off to a deep sleep. Dr. O did a fine job of paralyzing me for the surgery and I didn’t even feel the effects of the breathing tube they put down my throat, it can cause irritation when you come to. I awoke to find that the tumor had been removed, and only the tumor and my lymph nodes. Glad that I was able to stay balanced in the chest area. I have this gross drain thing hanging out of the arm pit area but by the time that you read this it will have been removed. So now I heal and wait for the next step in this process… going to figure out how to make a cool turban.
by Trina Berlo Where there was only a shell of a baseball diamond at Gowan Park there is now a fully functional field and two York Simcoe Baseball Associations (YSBA) select teams to occupy it. Until last year, there hadn’t been a youth baseball league playing out of Creemore in two decades or more but the Dupuis family, who are big on baseball, saw a need for the creation of local teams. There are now two select teams (peewee and mosquito) playing under the Creemore Braves banner and there is talk of adding a house league, to open it up to the whole community as it builds. Coach Marc Dupuis plays for the senior team and his kids play select. About 25 youth are now playing baseball in Creemore, with many coming from outside of the area. He set in motion the YSBA team when he found his tyke team playing out of New Lowell wasn’t really challenged and would benefit from a higher level of play. A fundraising effort kicked off last year to pay for the creation of the second playing field. Local businesses and individuals contributed just over $2,000 but then the township kicked in some funds

for the infield mix so funds were able to be redirected toward the construction of two new dugouts. The dugouts were built by a local contractor who donated the labour, so the club only had to pay for materials, and some temporary fencing was installed. Also at Gowan Park, the pavilion foundation has been poured but until the building is complete, the club is setting up its concession stand in a tent. Sabrina Stamp Dupuis said the concession is the only source of revenue for the club, so grab a jumbo hotdog or other snacks and beverages during games. Creemore is hosting the YSBA playdowns, to see who will compete for the league title, Aug. 17-19 with games taking place at various area fields. For a full schedule and scores, visit creemorebraves.com.
Braves basbeball standings The Creemore Peewee Select team has kicked off their season on the right foot with a record of 2-1-3 through the first two weeks of the season. Cal Stinson has been dominant on the mound and a wrecking ball at the plate. Next up, they’re in Muskoka for a doubleheader Saturday then back home June 13 to host Innisfil. In Mosquito action, Creemore is sitting now with a 4-1 record in league play. Top to bottom the lineup has been churning out runs, most recently a 25-12 drubbing of Bradford. They’ll be heading off to Brampton for tournament play this weekend before hosting Barrie Tuesday night in Creemore for an exhibition game. The Creemore Senior team has come out of the gates slow, losing six of their first seven games, including a beat down this past Tuesday at the hands of the New Lowell Knights. They’ll try to turn things around Friday night in Ivy. Braves are back home Tuesday to host Barrie. – Submitted by Marc Dupuis

Bluebird project ties in to science curriculum (Continued from page 1) on their faces when we watch a new update! They especially love it when Lyla the dog makes an appearance :-) We’re really hoping to be able to participate next year by decorating a box for the project.
Miss Burkholder’s Grade 3 class: Our class has loved watching Kyle and his birdhouses at Not So Hollow Farm. We have watched every Youtube episode he has posted so far, following Kyle from the early stages of putting up the birdhouses

around the property, to the latest episode where he found eggs in some of the nests. As a teacher, it has been such a cool series to follow, as a media form that most of the students are familiar with and use at home, and also for its ties to the Grade 3 science curriculum. Kyle makes the videos educational, with facts about the bird species around the farm and his general knowledge of the area, and is very engaging and funny, which the kids respond to. Brennen from our class likes how, “He has a lot of different birds’ nests
and he shows what happens to the nests in every video, like if there are eggs or babies.” When asked what he thought of the videos, Liam from our class said, “I liked when we got to see the baby bluebirds.” Nigella from our class commented on the fact that, “It is neat that it isn’t just bluebirds, but other species of birds, too.” As a class, we are very excited to see what will happen next at Not So Hollow Farm. We can’t wait to see the rest of the birds’ eggs hatch.

cip Notice of Passing In consideration of all written and oral submissions relating to the subject Community Improvement Plan, the Township of Clearview Council has made a decision regarding the Plan. The Plan has been considered under the requirements of Section 28 the Planning Act RSO 1990 c.P.13 and applicable regulations. The purpose of this notice is to make you aware of Council’s decision on the matter. The Decision: Date of Passing: Monday May 28, 2018 By-law: 18-46 Last Date of Appeal: Monday June 27, 2018 The Proposal: Project No.: Community Improvement Plan The Amendment to the Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is to take advantage of a new Provincial funding opportunity for 2018 to provide an increase in the percentage of financial grants to provide property owners and renters (with authorization) for signage and associated lighting improvements at 80% funding versus the current 50% for so long as the Provincial funds are available. Further, the Amendment proposes to add accessibility as a potential funding opportunity so that should funds become available, the CIP can provide this opportunity to the business community. The purpose of the CIP is to encourage the enhancement and rehabilitation of the Township’s commercially and industrially zoned properties in the Township’s settlement areas; including downtowns, four corners, and settlement entrance areas. A key map has not been provided as the Community Improvement Plan applies to all lands with the Township of Clearview that are zoned Commercial and Industrial. Your Rights to Appeal: i) If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Corporation of the Township of Clearview regarding the Community Improvement Plan before the Plan is adopted, the person or public body: ii) is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Township of Clearview to the Local Appeal Tribunal; and may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Local Appeal Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
Tree Society completes spring planting by Mary Boyd Months of planning have resulted in 21 new trees being planted in and around the Village There are many individuals and groups that have helped to make this happen. Thanks go out to Liz Smith of the Tree Society and Gerry LeMay with the Township of Clearview for ensuring that appropriate trees were selected, that each location met with township regulations and that no wires would be cut by accident. Thank you also to Triple J Tree Farm for digging the trees and planting them at all of the locations selected. We also thank all of the homeowners who requested a tree on their property as well as the various businesses and other locations that agreed to add trees to their space. You can spot the new trees on Mill Street by St. John’s United Church, the arena, the medical center, the fire station and in front of people’s homes. Without the people who are annual members of the Tree Society, people who have donated money for trees, and people who have taken part in our fundraising activities, these trees could not have been put in place. This is truly the little village with the big heart. On Mill Street, the tree guards have all been assessed and those requiring repair, repainting, or replacement have been repaired, repainted or replaced. Thank you to Thom Paterson, our Clearview Township councillor who arranged this action, and to Kevin Elwood of Clearview Nurseries for removing, repairing and painting the tree guards. For those questioning whether these guards are really required, you might like to know that in the short time while the guards were missing, eight trees were damaged on Mill Street. So they are truly valuable.

Tree Society president Keith Mantesso and arborist Liz Smith with a tree planted at Creemore Medical Centre. Thank you to all of you! A reminder to all tree owners as the summer season heats up to water your trees regularly and to keep your trees in good repair, removing dead limbs, and watching for signs of disease or aging issues. Trees are the best lungs in our world. Stay tuned for the fall planting. If you are interested in having a tree on your property or in becoming involved with the Tree Society, please contact us at info@treesocietyofcreemore.com. We leave you with the following words to ponder from Jennifer Granholm, Former Governor of the State of Michigan: Sometimes leadership is planting trees under whose shade you’ll never sit. It may not happen fully till after “we’re” gone. But “we” know that the steps we’re taking are the right steps. That sums up how the Tree Society of Creemore feels about its volunteer work. Have a great summer!
