Creemore BIA president Jackie Durnford, of Creemore 100 Mile Store, is organizing a bunch of manly activities and entertainment for Fatherʼs Day this Sunday, under the moniker of Fire, Beards and Axes.

Log Cabin home to Founding Fathers

by Trina Berlo As part of Father’s Day events, there will be a display of the big daddies of Creemore at the log cabin.

Historian Helen Blackburn has dipped into her collection of more than 1,000 local historical photos and has chosen 22 of the village’s most influential men for the Founding Fathers show this weekend.

They include prominent business owners, medical professionals, the owners of the newspaper and a few of her relatives.

Her great-great uncle Edward Webster is the founder of Creemore. He had a 225-acre property surveyed into more than 460 lots to form the village (See “Historian” on page 3)

Fire, Beards and Axes, fun for dads Lumberjacks, fire and flying axes will be in abundance in Creemore on Father’s Day for Fire, Beard and Axes.

“I took on this role in response to the #metoo movement on social media,” said BIA president Jackie Durnford. “I couldn’t believe how many people I knew had posted this hashtag and it started to feel like there were not any nice men out there. For me, it was a wait a minute and step back moment. I had to consciously remember that there are a lot of great guys out there. The Father’s Day Festival is my way of paying tribute, creating positive reinforcement role models and bringing conscious awareness to the fact that there are a lot of good guys out there.”

There will be a combo of free and ticketed activities, such as cooking with fire and beer tasting, as well as some fun competition to be found, such as diaper changing, hair braiding and a beard contest.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 17. A free lumberjack show is at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

The Creemore Echo • Friday, June 15, 2018 •

Deputy Mayor represents Simcoe County on NEC

by Trina Berlo Creemore Deputy Mayor Barry Burton is now representing Simcoe County on the Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC).

The seat has been vacant since Clearview councillor Shawn Davidson finished his term in October. Burton said the mayor put his name forward, and it was approved by county council before he was appointed to the role by the province.

His first meeting is next week but Burton has completed the orientation process. He said his role will be to review development applications for quarries, tree cutting and other development that affects Niagara Escarpment land, applying the Niagara Escarpment Planning and Development

Act (NEPDA) without bias.

Clearview Township is still appealing an NEC decision to deny permission to complete upgrades to a road near the Walker Industries quarry in Duntroon but Burton says he will not necessarily be an advocate for Clearview, his job is to uphold the legislation.

“I am looking forward to learning about the Act and how it affects development and working with various municipalities to deal with issues concerning the Niagara Escarpment Plan,” said Burton.

A proposed expansion of the Niagara Escarpment Plan was part of a provincially-led process to grow the Greenbelt but with a switch in provincial government, that may change.

The NEC was established in 1973 under the Niagara Escarpment Planning and Development Act. The NEPDA established a planning process to ensure the protection and preservation of the Niagara Escarpment, contributing significantly to Ontario’s health, economic development and environmental sustainability.

The NEC is a statutory body that operates at arms-length from the provincial government in accordance with the NEPDA and the Agency Establishment and Accountability Directive under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.

The NEC is mandated to develop, interpret and apply policies that maintain and enhance the vitality of the Escarpment’s unique environmental

3

and landscape features.

Its decisions are made independently, impartially, and according to a risk management framework.

The NEC has 17 members appointed

by Order-in-Council. Nine members, including the chair, represent the public-at-large and eight municipallyelected members represent counties, cities and regions within the Niagara Escarpment Plan (NEP) area.

The Commission meets monthly to consider development permits and land use proposals, policy items, and NEP amendments.

Meetings are open to the public and are usually held as the NEC’s main office in Georgetown. The Commission reports to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

Historian draws from extensive photo collection (Continued from page 1) and most of the streets are named after his children – Elizabeth, Wellington, Francis and Caroline. He was the warden of St. Luke’s Anglican Church, had a seat on the first school board, was justice of the peace, storekeeper and postmaster. Blackburn said although he had much success in some ways, he left the village in 1862 because he was broke.

His brother, George Webster, is

Blackburn’s great grandfather. He was a carpenter and built many of the village’s first houses. He also helped build the Anglican Church and ran the first mills in Creemore.

William Gowan is also featured prominently. He was a hotelkeeper for many years, beginning in 1859.

The idea for the Founding Fathers exhibit emerged out of displays Blackburn created last year for the school’s 50th anniversary. Because she

has so many wonderful old photos of the village’s founders, she wanted to share them with the public.

There are many stories behind the faces in the old black and white images on the log cabin walls. Former reeve of Creemore Jim Jackson, of Jackson’s Sawmill, was attending a track and field meet at the school one day when he hit a child with his car as he was backing out of his parking spot, fatally injuring the little girl.

“My grandfather said Jim was never the same after that. It was very traumatic for him,” said Blackburn.

There is also a photo of mechanic Harvey Pettigrew (owner of Pettigrew’s Garage, on Mill Street, where Strandz hair salon and Creemore Auto Detailing is now) all cleaned up and dressed in period garb for the centennial celebration in 1967, when he was deemed the winner of the beard contest.

“He used to say he wished his hair grew as well on his head as it did on his chin,” said Blackburn.

Women, back in the day, worked more in the background but Blackburn notes how much things have changed, as now, most of the businesses in Creemore are run by women.

The Founding Fathers show, funded

by Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society and executed by The Creemore Echo, is part of the BIA’s Fire, Beards and Axes Father’s Day event. Check it out between 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 17 (and also during regular Creemore Log Cabin hours from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 16).

Correction The Creemore Echo apologizes for two errors made in the June 8 article entitled Mulmur Fishing hole gets some TLC, pg. 1. We incorrectly spelled the last name of Matt Bos and The Pine River Fishing Area is located west of Terra Nova, at River Road and Prince of Wales Road.

The way we were

Community support speaks volumes We are winding up our annual subscription drive this week and we would like to take the opportunity to once again thank everyone who helps to keep this newspaper going.

Like one reader said, it’s the little newspaper that could. It has survived, so far, Facebook and the shuttering of so many community newspapers in surrounding areas and across the country.

We operate in the tradition of the newspapers that have served this community for more than 130 years.

We don’t set type manually or use paste up boards to assemble the newspaper anymore but we do work in the same building where The Creemore Star was produced. If you looked at our subscription drive ad in weeks past, you may have noticed the photo is taken inside the same building, from the perspective of our front counter.

A lot of care and effort has been taken to ensure that Creemore has its little newspaper that could, and we don’t take that lightly.

There may not always be a lot going on but we are here to spread the word whenever needed. More often though, there is a lot going on. This is a very vibrant little community and we hope to be a part of maintaining that energy.

We have received several notes of encouragement from readers, sometimes tucked into envelopes with their subscription renewal, and it really is appreciated. It’s so nice to hear from people who are long-time readers and use the paper to stay connected to the community from afar, from new readers and everyone in between.

Please continue to engage with the newspaper.

Send us feedback, notice of events, news tips, old photos and letters-to-the-editor. This paper is only as relevant as the community makes it, so we rely on you as much as you rely on us.

Here’s a nod to this week’s boosters and champions.

The root of the problem

by Basil Guinane Trees are the central characters of The Overstory, a novel that celebrates their beauty and diversity and mourns their demise as they fall prey to a relentless assault by humans.

Author Richard Powers tells the interwoven stories of nine men and women, to illustrate the devastation humanity has brought to forests and consequently, the planet. His message is that in our relentless pursuit of economic growth, we have come to a point where our future and that of the planet is threatened.

The first chapter of The Overstory is devoted to the American chestnut, a tree that was wiped out in the early twentieth century when a fungus arrived with ornamental chestnuts imported from Asia. Powers succinctly sums up the blight’s result, “America’s perfect tree, backbone of entire rural economies, the limber, durable redwood of the East… every fourth tree of a forest stretching two hundred million acres from Maine down to the Gulf is doomed.”

Book Review

Like the mingling of tree roots, the human characters are connected to one another and the stories that Powers tells about their lives are as compelling as those of the trees. That is Power’s main point, trees and humans have so much in common and the tragedy is that as a species we fail to fully appreciate this.

Powers tells the story of the chestnut’s fate by paring it with a family of Norwegian immigrants who take six chestnut seeds with them as they move west into Iowa at the time of the American civil war.

Powers provides a history of both the six seedlings and the immigrant family from the 1860s to the present day.

Other characters in the story include a wheelchairbound programming genius, a Vietnam veteran, a psychologist and an artist. These characters and the (See “The Overstory” on page 5)

West Nile virus and Lyme disease: reducing your risks

by Dr. Charles Gardner With winter well behind us, many people are happily heading into the garden, on the trail, to the water, enjoying the sun and the warm, fresh air. Any outdoor activity, be it cycling, walking, paddling or just enjoying time in a park with friends and family, provides an opportunity to increase physical activity, benefitting overall health. There is a growing body of research showing that the time spent in green spaces – whether in parks, playing fields, forests or gardens – provides benefits for your mental and physical wellbeing.

There are some risks in the outdoors from bugs that can transmit disease through their bite, and the news media have focused a good deal of attention on Lyme disease and West Nile virus.

However, the outdoors can be safely enjoyed with the application of some knowledge about prevention.

Some species of mosquitoes can carry

West Nile virus. They prefer to breed in urban or suburban settings, in stagnant water in storm sewers, bird baths or ditches. Removal of standing water on your property helps to reduce this risk.

Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk, and so the use of personal protection to prevent insect bites should be taken to reduce risk. Generally the number of people diagnosed with the disease is low in Simcoe Muskoka, but there was some increase in cases last year.

Lyme disease is an infection from the bite of a tick. There are many kinds of ticks, but only the blacklegged tick is known to spread Lyme disease in Ontario. These ticks prefer tall grass or shrubs where they may attach to any animal or person that brushes by. Unlike mosquitoes a tick’s bite causes no sting or itch, and because of their size may go undetected. In Simcoe Muskoka, health unit surveillance has shown a gradual

increase in the number of blacklegged ticks.

Public Health Ontario produces an annual map of estimated risk areas for Lyme disease. This year’s map for the first time includes two portions of Simcoe County, where blacklegged ticks were found through active surveillance.

Blacklegged ticks have also been submitted from other areas in Simcoe and Muskoka.

Both Lyme disease and West Nile virus can cause flu-like symptoms that begin with headaches, achy muscles and joints, fatigue and fever. Lyme disease often comes with the warning of a rash in the shape of a bulls-eye at the site of the bite. To reduce your risks, wear loose fitting, light-coloured clothing and use repellents such as DEET or icaridin applied to clothing or on exposed skin.

When hiking it also is recommended to tuck socks over pant cuffs, and stick to the centre of trails away from underbrush.

The Overstory: Powerful, well told (Continued from page 4) others highlight the importance of trees in our lives and our failure to fully appreciate them. As one character says, “this is not a world with trees in it. It’s a world of trees, where humans have just arrived.”

Instead of viewing forests in purely economic terms we should see them as rich resources that have the ability to protect the planet from ecological disaster. This is summed up by Patricia, the tree expert, who is preparing notes for a conference on global warming, “She would tell them about a simple

Ticks will cling to the skin for as long as a week. However, removing ticks that are found in less than 24 to 36 hours reduces the risk that they will transmit disease. Showering within two hours of coming home from a hike will help wash any ticks from the body.

Doing a body check for ticks following activity in grassy and wooded areas is recommended. If you find a tick attached to your body, or notice a bulls-eye shaped rash developing, it is recommended that you seek medical attention for an assessment. It would also be helpful to bring the tick in a plastic bag or jar for submission.

These simple measures will ensure your safety and that of your family while you enjoy all that the outdoors of Simcoe and Muskoka has to offer.

machine needing no fuel and little maintenance that sequesters carbon, cools the ground, scrubs the air and scales easily to any size. A tech that copies itself and even drops food for free.”

The Overstory is a powerful, welltold story with a sobering message.

One favourite take-away, “When you cut down a tree, what you make from it should be at least as miraculous as what you cut down.” Another is that the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago.

The second best time is today. Read this novel and you will want to get planting.

Braves bloodlines run deep

by Marc Dupuis It was a tough week for Creemore’s senior team losing to Ivy and twice to Barrie.

Tom Gateman spun a complete game gem Friday night in Ivy, but the Braves could only muster a single run and ultimately fell 3-1.

The highlight of the week came this past Tuesday when 15-year-old Evan Soules, son of long time Brave Brad “Big Daddy” Soules, sparked

a Creemore rally with a three run homerun and also a bases clearing double. Barrie held Creemore off to win 13-11.

The Mosquito team was making noise in Brampton this past weekend .

Going 3-0 in round robin play ousting Whitby 14-1, Mississauga Southwest 11-9 and Vaughan 13-2, they fell just short in the semi final game to the host Brampton Royals 12-9.

Owen Stinson, son of former Brave
