by Trina Berlo A new contractor has been hired to complete the pavilion at Gowan Park. Clearview Township’s general manager of parks, culture and recreation, Terry Vachon, said the first contractor hired for the job last year did not meet their contractual obligations. Consolidated Contracting did some work in the fall, dug a hole and starting working on the footings before the snow fell. “Come springtime, he did not show up,” said Vachon, adding that the company did the same thing at a pavilion job in Springwater. Vachon said the references had checked out. Consolidated Contracting has already been paid $39,809.56 but the municipality has not yet decided if any legal action will be pursued. “The priority right now is to complete the project,” said Vachon. The Gowan Park pavilion contractor has been replaced with Cherokee Contracting. Cherokee was asked to submit an updated quote, which came in at $189,800, $28,758 less than the original bid. Adding tax and a 10 per cent contingency fund, the cost goes up to $200,175. Cherokee Contracting has been paid for work to bring the building up to grade, in the amount of $56,762. Now that Cherokee is approved to proceed, as of council’s June 25 meeting, they will order materials. Delivery will take six to eight weeks and then construction will begin. The pavilion should be done sometime in the fall. The total anticipated cost of the (See “False” on page 3)

Clearview flies pride flag at hub by Trina Berlo Clearview Township will fly the pride flag for the second time after Councillor Connie Leishman asked for an exception to a municipal policy. “I am tired of saying no when I am the kind of person who wants to include everybody,” said Leishman. “We are Clearview. A lot of people feel disenfranchised from the township… One day it will be a moot point but now, it is front and centre.” The discussion was in response to a request from Fierté Simcoe Pride to fly the rainbow flag “in celebration of diversity, to raise awareness and promote equality” from July 30 to August 12. “This recognition would be a valued recognition of the diversity of our community, honouring the lives and contributions of people of all gender and sexual diversities throughout the
county,” wrote Fierté Simcoe Pride president Brandon Rhèal Amyot. C o u n c i l l o r D o u g M e a s u re s suggested, instead of flying it at town hall, the flag be raised at the emergency hub, where flags in support of other causes (fire prevention, support the troops and blood donation) are displayed. “And it is more visible, being on the highway,” said Measures. Deputy Mayor Barry Burton spoke in opposition to the exception. “I support the proclamation but it is a mistake to give priority to a special interest group,” said Burton. Kevin Elwood and Robert Walker also voted against the motion but there were enough votes to pass the request. In 2017, 22 communities in Simcoe participated in Pride with a flag raising and/or proclamation. Clearview last flew the flag in 2014
and council has been divided on the issue since. 2018 marks the seventh annual festival organized by Fierté Simcoe Pride, a not-for-profit organization that organizes year-round activities for the lesbian, gay, bi, trans, and allied community of Simcoe County. The Rainbow Pride flag is raised to honour gender and sexual diversity in Simcoe County. The Rainbow Flag was designed by Gilbert Baker in San Francisco in 1978 and is symbol of the Pride movement and the advancement of human rights for sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics. The colour red signifies life; orange is healing; yellow is sunlight; green represents nature; blue symbolizes serenity, peace and harmony; and purple represents spirit.
False start causes cost overrun
(Continued from page 1) pavilion project will be $296,746.77 (not including engineering and architectural costs). That’s way up from the original $150,000 budget. “I know the citizens are looking to having it built. It has been a little bit of an eyesore but you don’t know about these contractors sometimes until you get going. We did reference checks on previous projects and everything worked out,” said Vachon. “The good news is we are able to move forward as quickly as we possibly can.” The new 75-by-25-foot pavilion at Gowan Park, on Edward Street in Creemore, will have accessible washrooms and a service counter.

The way we were
Community gives strength Julie Pollockʼs address to the NCPS graduating class on behalf of school council: Good evening to the Class of 2018. Congratulations to each of you. I’m Julie Pollock, and on behalf of your School Council, I want you to know that we are cheering for you as you go forward with your education and your life. What a beautiful sight you are tonight. It’s a pleasure to be here with you, thinking ahead to my son David’s future graduation in five years; and thinking about my own graduation evening way back. Way, way back. When it was stylish to wear cowboy boots with your Indian cotton peasant dress. Each and every one of you is stepping out into a larger world this evening – larger than this little school and the small group of people here who have watched you grow from a child to a fine young person. Within this community, you have learned all the basics of your education. These are the essential tools that you will take with you to high school and wherever else you decide to go. There is so much that you have already learned, and so much ahead. But you have also learned other basics during your time here. How to be part of a community, for example. How to find things you want to do, and become a part of them. How to get stuff done. How to be a leader and how to know when it’s time to step back. How to listen. And how to be a friend. As the world around you grows bigger, you will need to hold on to your community. Because what matters in life is who you have beside you. Good marks, high scores, money, awards – these are great pleasures in life. But these things won’t hold your hand. They won’t remember your favourite dessert. And they certainly won’t make time for you when you need it most. These are the things that your community will do for you. And it will be your community that gives you strength, that can help you attain those marks, those scores, that money, those awards – and other gifts that come from within you. Like happiness, bravery, strength and kindness. Everywhere you go, take the time to get involved. It isn’t always easy, but it’s where the action is. It’s about showing up, not showing off. Tonight, in many ways, you will leave us behind. But you will take away the deep roots of your education and the sturdy branches of this community’s warmth and caring. Your School Council wishes you well – as parents, as school supporters, as fellow travellers in this beautiful world. Carry yourselves with pride into the future and know that you have so much to contribute to every community you encounter. They’re out there, just waiting for you to show up. So congratulations. Work hard, play hard. But stay soft in your heart.

Humans are destructive, not animals Editor: Here’s a bad idea… let’s cull coyotes because they’re killing the herds that we plan to kill or maybe just keep around for a while. It’s our livelihood after all to decide when we slaughter them – for money of course. As long as it’s commercially viable, then it makes sense right? But when defenseless animals kill for survival they’re in the wrong… right? Five pairs of eyes staring back is a sad image. These animals are hungry. They may even be starving. Fat humans who eat other animals have the privilege right? We are on their land. We destroy their habitat when we build our massive palatial homes, our quarries, our highways. We have many options, they have few to none. Should we do away with any and all wildlife simply because it is trying to survive and in the process

getting in our way? Must humans always be the environmental imperialists who dominate with little to no respect for other life? We don’t share well do we? And when we lose tolerance, they must be culled. This constant “darkness” about our relationship with nature is quite troubling. Quite frankly, humans should not be in charge of the planet at all. We haven’t exactly done a masterful job of protecting it now have we? We are actively limiting the species on the planet with our behaviour – putting countless varieties at risk and increased vulnerability due to human, not animal activity. It is humans who are destructive, not animals. Let’s remember that shall we? Heaven forbid anyone should cull humans. That after all, would be considered genocide. Meg Mercer, Creemore.

Dufferin County forest users unite for Triple Crown by Trina Berlo Three of the main user groups of Dufferin County’s Main Tract forest came together June 16 for a one-of a-kind race that welcomed participants on foot, two wheels and in saddles. Named the Triple Crown, the race was co-hosted by the Ontario Competitive Trail Riding Association (OCTRA) and Team Van Go cyclists. The idea, said Johnny Yeaman of Team Van Go, is to come together as a group of athletes who enjoy the forest to get to know each other and learn about others’ sports. Seven teams of three set off that day in a relay race with the cyclists taking the lead for a 15-km ride on the cycling trail. They would then tag the runners, who complete a 10-km run. Lastly, horse and rider head out on a 10-km on the designated equine trail. But the teamwork doesn’t end there. Once the horse and rider cross the finish line, the team takes the horse through a cooling procedure and the clock doesn’t stop until the horse’s heartbeat is down to 60 beats per minute Sue Downing, of OCTRA, explains the equestrian instructs the cyclist and runner on the team how to untack and cool the horse using a wet sponge on the neck and chest area. The runner and cyclist likely have little to no experience with horses and they do not rehearse. There is a follow-up to the cooling when one member of the team does a trot out with the horse, going for
a little jog. It is all part of a veterinarian supervised process to ensure a horse wasn’t pushed too hard during a race and that it isn’t injured. Yeaman and Downing said there was some excitement during the Triple Crown, because two teams battled for first until the horses finished neck-andneck. The third horse to start the race caught up with the second and tied with the first, so it came down to the cooling procedure to determine the winner, with Tyler Hollema (cyclist), Karen Yeaman (runner) and Sue Timbers (equestrian) ending up in first place and Taylor Genoe (cyclist), Kevin Knight (runner) and Lesley Danko (equestrian) coming in second. The three-sport relay race is a unique event that has come out of efforts to make the forest user-friendly for all sports. Yeaman said it is a fun event in the spirit of education and cooperation by a community of athletes using the forest. “We are passionate about our own individual sport and this event allows us to get together and share that passion,” said Yeaman. Participants ranged in age from teen to 70s with family members participating on competing teams, with prizes supplied by Running Free in Orangeville. The first Triple Crown event was in 2016, the second one this month and there is a plan to hold a third in 2019. It coincides with OCTRA’s Summer Solstice event.

The Treblemakers Filled St. John’s United Church by Joan VanDuzer Last Friday evening, The Treblemakers adult community choir gave a fantastic “The Sixties… with a Twist” concert. The audience was totally involved and gave the director, Penelope Dale, her pianist husband Richard Maddock and guest percussionist Pieter Huyer a standing ovation. The summer term starts the week of July 2nd. Penelope and Richard have one week off before starting again. “Off” has little meaning for these two who must prepare the music, written and performed in parts on CDs for everyone, but especially for those who don’t read music. There are now five choirs: Wasaga Beach (where they moved to from Toronto four years ago), Barrie, Collingwood, Creemore and Toronto. As Penelope pointed out to the audience, music does more than encourage singing. It creates friendships and a sense of community – and for some whose lives are not smooth sailing, joyous relief. The choir encourages adults of all ages to join. In the Simcoe County/Georgian Triangle area, there are four rehearsal locations, including a Thursday afternoon
Contributed photo
class in Creemore. Check the choir’s website for details on rehearsal times/days/locations, at www. TheTreblemakers.ca. There are no auditions. It was fun to hear as part of a sixties medley, “Born to be Wild” sung with gusto by all members of the choir, even those who were edging 90! We are so lucky to have such a talented pair in our midst, encouraging the love of music.
