Clearview firefighters Stuart Bicknell and Ashley Hopkins with the pink fire truck at Station 6 in Nottawa.

Clearview firefighters put a wrap on breast cancer

by Trina Berlo If a fire truck isn’t already enough to turn heads, be prepared to do a double take when the passing truck is bright pink.

The largest truck in Clearview Fire Department’s fleet has been wrapped in pink to draw awareness to firefighters’ breast cancer fundraising campaign for the Canadian Cancer Society.

A dozen Clearview firefighters from all stations have volunteered to steer the campaign. They started by going

out to the business community with a request to sponsor the cost of the wrapping of Tank 63, based at the fire hall in Nottawa Station 6 firefighters Stuart Bicknell and Ashley Hopkins, said they were pleasantly surprised at how quickly they found 10 businesses to contribute $500 each in exchange for their logo being displayed on the side of the truck.

That was enough to cover the full cost of the bright pink wrap, emblazoned with the Pink Truck Tour logo and

website, designed by Bicknell’s spouse, Justine Bicknell of Brolly Media, so there was no cost to the township.

The website launched this week to collect donations from the community and to promote tour stops, where T-shirts will also be sold. The tour kicked off Sunday at the New Lowell soccer party and its next stop is at the GNE fall fair on Sept. 21-23. The truck will also be making appearances at Small Halls Festival, the Dunedin Cancer Walk, the Witches Walk in

Stayner and Santa Claus Parades in Stayner and Creemore before the campaign comes to a close at the end of December. Firefighters are also forming a team for the CIBC Run for the Cure at Blue Mountain Village on Sept. 30.

Deputy Fire Chief Roree Payment said the department is always looking for good causes to support.

“We do have quite a few female firefighters on the department,” said (See “Pink” on page 8)

Multi-media artist inspired by her Back Forty

by Kara McIntosh Given that artist Deborah Farquharson is inspired by and makes most of her work in the Mulmur area, Curiosity House is the perfect venue for Farquharson’s first solo show, My Back Forty.

Having spent much of her weekend and vacation life in Mulmur, first at her family’s farm and now the one she shares with her husband and two sons, Farquharson’s roots in this community are deep.

“I feel whole when I’m here in Mulmur. We are raising our family in Toronto for work and financial reasons, but my heart is really here in these hills,” explains Farquharson.

At the centre of Farquharson’s creative practice is her relationship with nature and landscape. Her home

studio overlooks the very fields and trails where she spends much of her time exploring and investigating. She works to capture what is extraordinary about her everyday world.

Trained originally as a photographer, Farquharson continues to rely on photography as one of the ways to research her subject matter. She has also honed her creative observation and research skills over the years of hiking and discovering the property around her. She often visits the same clumps of grass or spots in a tree line, both of which have become prominent subject matters in her work. Intrigued by how places change throughout the day, during different seasons and weather patterns, as well as over time, Farquharson often focuses on a variety of details and information to capture

the essence of a place.

In her studio, she uses a range of techniques to produce her work that make the experience of art making very physical and tactile. Using a propane torch, she “paints with fire”, draws with charcoal, graphite, pens, markers, and paint among other mediums. She carves into her paintings to re-expose the raw wood of the birch panel and uses paint as a stain to allow the natural grain of the wood to show through and become part of a finished piece.

“This body of work is a collection of subjects that are familiar to me,

they are things and places that I come back to over and over again,” said Farquharson. “I can really relate to the landscape, I feel a sense of belonging and an immense gratitude for the gift of inspiration that is offered by this place”.

My Back Forty is on display at Curiosity House Books from Sept.

8 to Oct. 7, and coincides with the Creemore Festival of the Arts on Sept.

29-30. The artist will be present at an opening reception from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15.

The Way We Were

Community of contributions It has been almost 40 years since Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope and the story of the young man’s determination to find a cure for cancer is as moving as ever.

They say that the low-budget, grassroots campaign not only brought people out to help Fox reach his goal of raising $1 million for cancer research, it also helped to change people’s attitude towards the disabled, “and he showed that while cancer had claimed his leg, his spirit was unbreakable”.

Fox died on June 28, 1981 – one month before he turned 23.

There was nation-wide mourning. Flags were flown at half-mast. But people didn’t forget him and his story didn’t end with his death. The first Terry Fox Run was held that September – more than 300,000 people walked or ran or cycled in his memory and raised $3.5 million.

Now, millions of people in about 25 countries participate.

We have embraced that culture of contributing.

Rarely does a week go by that there isn’t an article in this newspaper about someone who is embarking on a fundraising journey or about something that is made possible by community support (including this newspaper).

Each individual can’t support every cause but there is value in recognizing the efforts of individuals who work hard to make the community better – be it collecting books for the Big Book Bash this weekend to support community space, or putting in extra hours at the fire hall to organize a Pink Truck Tour for breast cancer, or working all year to pull off a fall fair at the GNE to promote agriculture (we could go on and on). All these events enhance the social lives of people in the community.

found. One started with the line “safely in the arms of Jesus... just kidding!” The obituary went on to list all the things that this lady loved to do and how she lived every minute of her life to the fullest. She even requested that she be propped up in the corner of the funeral home with a gin-and-tonic in her hand to make her look more “natural”.

Another one started “in sickness and in health Eric was an endearing pain in the ass”.

Sounds like he must have been a hoot! The point of the obituary is not only to inform the public and far off relatives of a passing but also to show the many sides of a person that might not have been obvious to all.

Interestingly, during the Industrial Revolution obituaries had a tendency to focus on the person’s wealth, job status and how many years they worked.

I think that everyone should write their own obituary, maybe it would make people realize what they have or have not accomplished in their life, and the point of you will have the last word on a life well lived.

Downtown business struggling, signage needed Letter

Downtown businesses are dependent on tourist traffic, which has severely diminished since Tim Hortons opened two years ago. As the upcoming municipal election in October approaches, can we not make this an election issue for all members of council, deputy mayor and mayor?

In reference to the same topic at a monthly BIA meeting where Clearview Township Director of Community Services Mara Burton was a guest speaker, I questioned the signage issue.

Her response was that the Clearview branded signs were not complete but they would be putting an information kiosk at the plaza to inform passing

Editor: We were promised proper signage for the village of Creemore before [the Esso station and Tim Hortons] broke ground at Cashtown Corners (at the zoning public meeting).

It was to be a condition of the franchise to pay for the sign at the corner of County Road 9 and Airport Road.

Three years has passed and there is nothing visible to give passing drivers at the Cashtown intersection any information that Creemore is only two kilometres west.

tourists. Needless to say, this hasn’t been done either.

Mill Street business owners are struggling. Our costs are increasing (hydro, gas, taxes, minimum wage, etc.) and our bottom line for profitability is

being minimized.

Proper signage seems to be a simple solution. “Build it and they will come.”

More than over 3,500 athletes descended on Highlands Nordic last weekend for three different Spartan races.

On Friday, over 1,200 people competed in the 6km Sprint. On Saturday, another 1,000-plus people completed the Beast, more than 20km of trail and obstacles.

The day started off incredibly cold but the leaders didn’t let that stop them and ran the course in one hour and 59 minutes.

On Sunday the last 1,000 participants ran the 13km Super race in chilly and overcast conditions. More than 90 people finished the grueling course, including Justin Palival and Melissa Houghton (pictured above jumping the fire pit at the finish line), who came from Ottawa to participate in the race.

Elite male racer Jesse Bruce, of Toronto, won all three races. Also of note, local athlete Hannah Skelton placed first in her age group (1824).

Report immunization records to health unit Did you know that you can easily update your child’s immunization records online?

In Ontario, under the Immunization of School Pupils Act, up to date immunization records are required for all students and it is the responsibility of a parent to report immunizations to their health unit.

Share your child’s immunization record with

the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit by going to www.simcoemuskokahealth.org/immsonline.

Pink Truck Tour stopping at GNE (Continued from page 1) Payment.

He said there are currently 11 women working as firefighters, which is a record number for the department.

He said everyone has mothers, grandmothers, daughters and wives so it seemed like a good idea to bring awareness to this worthy cause and other fire departments in other areas have had success with similar pink fire truck campaigns.

Payment said the Nottawa group, in particular, is keen to volunteer for community initiatives so when it came to deciding which truck to wrap, it was picked for that reason and also because it is a versatile piece of equipment (it carries six firefighters and doubles as a tanker and pumper) that can be seen responding to calls throughout the township.

Donations are welcome at pinktrucktour.ca.

Ronald J. Morrison, Jr., 50, of Sinking Spring, PA. passed away unexpectedly Monday, Aug. 27, 2018 at home. Born in Harrisburg, PA he was a son of the late Ronald J. Morrison and Jeanne A. (Miller) Morrison.

He was an avid sports fan and enjoyed music and playing golf. He was thrilled to see his beloved Eagles win the Superbowl on his 50th birthday.

He is survived by his twin sister, Tracy Ruble, Brother in Law, Jeff Ruble, Scituate, MA; and his brother, Warren J. Morrison, Creemore, Ontario. Loving Uncle of James Morrison and Carly Morrison, Toronto, Ontario and Charlie Ruble, Jack Ruble and Courtney Ruble of Scituate, MA. He was deeply loved and will be dearly missed by his family and friends. Ron attended Scituate High School and George Mason University where he was a member of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity.

Services are private. Lamm & Witman Funeral Home, 243 W. Penn Ave., Wernersville, is handling arrangements. Donations can be made in his name to the “East Nottawasaga Cemetery” C/O Warren Morrison, 1881 Concession 6, Creemore, ON L0M 1G0. Online condolences may be made at www.lammandwitman.com.

death notice Lant, Ronald Alfred – passed away with his family at his side on Thursday, September 6, 2018 at Sunset Manor, Collingwood at the age of 86.

Ron lived his life to the fullest until he was sidelined by dementia. A loving husband, father and grandfather, he dedicated more than 40 years of his spare time to coaching and organizing kids sports in the communities where he lived (Creemore, Sudbury and Toronto). He believed strongly in the importance of providing an opportunity for all children to just play. He had a love for Canada, camping from coast to coast with the whole family. He had an esoteric interest in a broad range of subjects, and was proud to be a lifelong learner.

Ron is survived by his wife of 63 years, Shirley, his children Michael (Elizabeth), David (Victoria), Barbara (Dan) and Patricia (Serge), and his grandchildren (Mackenzie, Nick, Jeremy, Cleo, Colin, Emily and Evan), his brother Tony and many friends.

The family will hold a private celebration of life. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ron’s memory to Clearview Soccer Club (cheques payable to Clearview Soccer Club, P.O. Box 2040, Creemore, Ontario, L0M 1G0), or a charity of your choice, would be greatly appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to Fawcett Funeral Home.

death notice Nordstrom, Brian - On Saturday, September 8, 2018, surrounded by family and friends, Brian Nordstrom passed away peacefully at the Perth hospital after a 2 year battle with cancer.

Brian was born in Germany March 23, 1974, to Norman and Valerie Nordstrom while they were serving there, and spent his childhood in Base Borden, Petawawa and Manotick. His family enjoyed camping and road-trips across Canada. When he left home, Brian moved to the Kitchener-Waterloo area. After working in factories and other odd jobs, Brian enjoyed a career as a long-haul truck driver for many years, allowing him to visit places, family and friends all over North America.

After too many close calls with winter driving, Brian switched to landscape construction. Outside of work, Brian had a passion for games of all kinds (board games, role playing games, video games) which served him well as an escape throughout his illness. Brian also enjoyed the outdoors and found his true happy place in the backwoods of Algonquin Park in the years before he got sick. Determined to spend his last months closer to the wilderness he loved, he moved his RV to Woodland Park near Arden, where he was warmly welcomed by Mary and Tim. Brian spent his final summer enjoying the lake and surrounding wilderness and inviting friends and family to join him. Brian was a true character with a great sense of humour (that not everyone got).
