New CAO, clerk now on duty at Mulmur town hall

by Trina Berlo CAO Tracey Atkinson and clerk Kerstin Vroom are in their new roles at town hall in Mulmur as of this week.

The retirement of Terry Horner, who was both CAO and clerk, has precipitated a change up in roles at the municipal office.

Atkinson, who has been a part-time planner in Mulmur since 2014, has stepped into the top job but will continue to fill her planning duties as well. The hope is that by separating out the clerk duties, shifting them to former deputy clerk-treasurer, there will be enough days in the week to get everything done.

“We are in a state of change,”

said Atkinson. “There will be some adjustments to the new division of roles and we are confident we have the team in place to continue to serve the community well.”

She said Mulmur has a great staff, everyone is getting new tasks and the plan is to keep everything running smoothly.

Atkinson has 20 years of experience in a wide range of planning work. She is a Clearview resident who grew up on a farm, and currently lives on a farm, so she said she understands farming applications and process relevant to a rural municipality. “Some might say that (See “Election” on page 8)

Hall of Fame (Continued from page 1) Maizis, nominated by her son Alexandros, was recognized for competing at several world championships, too many to count. In 2017 she won gold in women’s over 60kg point fighting and gold in women’s Japanese kata while representing Team Canada at the World Martial Arts Organization World Championships in Ireland.

Shawn Davidson presented the Team Award to the 1973-1977 Stayner Siskins team and the builder award to his late father-in-law William Paul “Siv” Carruthers, the first general manager with the Siskins when they formed in 1972, and later coach.

“A brief summary of his championship calibre is two provincial championships, six provincial finals appearances and 11 league titles as a coach and general manager. Exceptional. But I don’t believe the titles really mattered to Sivy. He was a fierce competitor who always wanted to win but it was his relationships that mattered the most,” said Davidson… “He loved the sport of hockey and he would be so honoured and so humbled by the accolades that have come in since his death 2010.

The Siskins honouring him with the Siv patch, the Alliston Hornets bringing the Schmaltz Cup to be displayed at his funeral, the league renaming the division after him, the Coach of the Year award named after him and now this honour in his hometown.”

Siskinʼ Junior D team from the 70s, the only teams to win the provincial championship twice. Davidson recapped four provincial finals appearances in five seasons with two championships.

“What an incredible time that must have been for the fans. Having just experienced another long playoff run for the Schmaltz Cup with the current Siskins, to do it four years in a row, wow. The old barn on Mill Street must have been rocking,” said Davidson.

was presented the community volunteer award. He was nominated by Clayton Culham, who said the school’s basketball program would have folded a long time ago without denBok, who coaches the junior and senior teams.

Frieda Linke was not able to accept her award in person but she was

recognized for her contribution to the arts scene and the development of the Stayner art gallery.

Gathering of the Classics, now in its 30th year, was nominated by event committee member and Clearview Public Library employee Michele McKenzie. Edenvale Classic Aircraft

Foundation president Mike Mazereeuw and long-term members Robert and Judy Lesica, along with McKenzie, accepted the award.

Award plaques will be displayed at the Hall of Fame at the Stayner Community Centre once the library addition is complete.

ABOUT TOWN

The bill to legalize recreational use of marijuana has made it through the senate, meaning pot will be legal across Canada in the near future.

Many people will be opposed to the idea of recreational drugs becoming more accessible but it is unlikely to increase usage, although time will tell.

As everyone knows, this is being rolled out by the federal Liberal government, with specifics being set in various jurisdictions.

Provinces and territories given time to prepare for the sale to become legal on October 17 (people are speculating the date is to mark the anniversary of Gord Downieʼs death).

It will be very interesting to see how the product is rolled out to retail but it will be more interesting to see how people use it.

The details are still unknown as to what products will be available.

The idea of legalization is not to increase its use but to regulate its use. Legalization will mean that people carrying and using small amounts won’t face legal action, keeping them out of courts for what is widely considered a benign crime. There will still be illegal use and underage users, just like with alcohol.

It will be interesting to see how attitudes toward recreational marijuana change, given that most people have accepted the medicinal use.

When a law prohibits something, like smoking in restaurants, the affect is swift but when the law changes to allow something that is considered culturally taboo to many, change isn’t always swift.

Take for instance, a favourite example, it became legal for women to go topless in Ontario and we still don’t see that, not even on beaches.

There is still a stigma attached to marijuana. We have all been conditioned to think that it is something bad or to be done in secret. How adaptable is the human brain in that it can turn a social condition around and suddenly see something as an acceptable, under certain confines of the law.

There is a lot of talk about keeping marijuana out of the hands of under age users and reducing profits for dealers but it appears to come down to public opinion.

There is enough public will to see it legalized.

Let’s hope that now, there is a well executed plan to purge the court system of all actions that are made legal under this new law and that an intelligent communication plan is executed to educate the public about the changes. That will be key in a successful transition to legalizing marijuana.

Coyote bounty could help with coyote problem AGRITALES

Coyote ugly or ugly ready, a dangerous situation coyote? It depends on how for all involved. The son went off to an area where he you look at them.

Coyote populations seem heard a noise, turning on his to be on the rise, and that cell phone light he found means that more contact five pairs of eyes staring with humans and their back at him; he did the wise Cat animals. There is one farmer thing and got out of there.

FLACK It’s not just calves that who has not had a full night’s sleep since his calving started, are being killed but a large number of not because of birthing problems but lambs, ewes and even rams. because of the constant attempts from The CEO is a certified livestock evaluator – sounds grandiose but really the coyotes to make a meal of his newborns. means that he goes and takes pictures The cows make a commotion and of the kills, or what is left of them, documents the time, etc. and presents he and his son run out with guns at the

Collingwood has been hit with coyote attacks on the pet population as well as local farmers have had a large number of barn cats lost to coyotes as well. Barn cats serve a purpose on the farm in varmint control; they deserve to be recognized as a loss as well.

So what do we do? There is a bounty on coyotes in some municipalities, although not here in Clearview. In order to cash in on the bounty you just have to bring a pair of ears in to prove

the kill. Some might think this cruel and unusual, but what if it were your livelihood? How would you feel?

I mean businesses have alarm systems, so why wouldn’t it be any different for a farmer trying to protect his investment?

As for the farmer who runs out to chase away the coyotes nightly… the coyotes finally got a meal. This is a growing problem that certainly needs to be addressed. Will the powers that be only put on a bounty when a small child is attacked? I would hope that something is in place before it comes to that.

Photographer Leah Denbok wins BMFA's Clerkson Award

Collingwood photographer Leah Denbok has won the $1000 prize in the prestigious Murray Clerkson contest for emerging artists for 2018. This 18-year-old, a student at Collingwood Collegiate, was chosen from 21 artists who entered the contest this year.

The prize includes a one-month display of her art in the Art Centre of the Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts, on Hurontario Street, Collingwood. Four other artists were chosen as finalists in the competition and they also have won the right to display their art in the Arts Centre.

The other four finalists chosen were Anne Luton, an oil painter from Clarksburg; Kara McIntosh, an oil painter from Nottawa; Karen Bowen, an oil painter from Tiny Beaches; and Jennifer Jansen, a Creemore artist who does unique 3-D images of local topography.

All five finalists were chosen according to a rigorous set of criteria specified in Murray Clerkson’s bestowment in 2010. The award is administered by the Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts. Their committee scrutinizes the portfolios of all contestants, then selects the five most deserving “emerging” artists to be the finalists.

The BMFA is grateful for the generous support of two Collingwood patrons of the arts, Kerry Mader and Dr. Brian McCrindle who made the exhibit possible.

The BMFA is also pleased to announce that the owners of Clerkson’s Home Store, of Collingwood,

David and Paula Conning, have agreed to donate the $1,000 prize for the Clerkson Award, following the expiration of Mr. Clerkson’s bestowment in 2019. The Connings’ generosity will allow the Murray Clerkson Award to be granted annually for years to come.

This show runs to Sunday, June 24, and is open to the public Wednesday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 3 p.m. In addition, the five finalists will be exhibited in the L E Shore Library in Thornbury for the month of September.

years and has lived in the area for almost 30 years. The clerk is also responsible for preparing council agendas and making sure council follows the procedural bylaw.

Her biggest role in the upcoming months is to execute the municipal election.

Vroom will spearhead the nomination process and oversee voting – which will be done online and by telephone again this year.

“We are putting out a push for more councillors because a race does get people engaged,” said Vroom.

There is already a race for the position of mayor and deputy mayor in Mulmur but at least one more nominee for councillor is needed to fill the three seats.

Once nominations close on July 27, the clerk’s focus will turn to ensuring the voters list is correct and everyone is well aware of the voting process and equipped with their voter card.

Vroom said people don’t realize that if they own property in more than one municipality they can vote for council members in each, so people with second properties in Mulmur should have their say.

Voter information is posted online at Mulmur.ca.

Creemore peewee team goes 3-0

by Marc Dupuis Creemore’s 13U team moved their records to 7-1-3 on the season and now sit atop the YSBA Standings with 17 points.

Anson Dupuis moved his record to 2-1 picking up a win versus Innisfil and vulturing a win Saturday in Collingwood. Tyler Higginson was the player of the game against Collingwood, showing off a strong arm from behind the plate, throwing out three base runners. Seth Shakell had a three-run first inning double in Wednesday nights 18-3 win over Orillia, in which the team banged out 20 hits. Dresdon Dupuis picked up the win.

The 11U team came up short in a 6-5 loss to Bradford this past Tuesday .

Lukas “Judge “ Bennington had a two-run single to pull the Braves close but a game ending double play stifled the comeback.

A great crowd was on hand for the senior teams Father’s Day game versus Clearview. Free dogs, cold drinks and a Bryan Post home run were the highlight in a 15-3 loss. The Bolton Brewers brought the best record (and lineup) into Gowan Park on Tuesday night and were baffled by Tom Gateman through 4 innings. A well played 2-2 game quickly turned into a 15-2 Braves loss after a 13 run 5th inning, which saw Bolton hit three home runs.
