Festival features shrunken village by Trina Berlo Visitors to the Creemore Festival of the Arts this weekend will have a chance to stroll through a town within a town. Imagine feeling like a giant as you walk amongst miniature models of Mill Street buildings constructed at a 1:32 scale. The main street buildings have been carefully recreated by stop motion animator and set designer Amber Harloff using little tiny bricks and shingles. Hairpins and paper clips have been repurposed as metal railings and sign brackets. She even called upon Shane Durnford, the maker of the signs in Creemore’s downtown, for a tutorial in sign making. The whole thing will be pieced together as part of Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society’s two-day arts festival. Harloff’s The Little Village With a Big Heart: Tiny Edition is one of three featured exhibits in addition to more than 30 artists and artisans who will be showing and selling their work at 20 locations in the village. Harloff said the idea for the project came to her eight years ago. She just loved the buildings on the main street and wanted to pull generations together to learn about the history of the village. So she enlisted the help of students Anna Dinsmore and Sadie Finkelstein to do some research and went to talk to

Gerry Blackburn, about the origins of the buildings. She isn’t able to include every single building but most of downtown will be represented. Harloff said she was inspired to recreate the street with extreme detail.
Every miniature brick has been made using a tiny mould and Harloff has cut tiny cedar shingles from full size ones. Working full time on the project since May, Harloff said she has gone through (See “Dozens” on page 3)
Chaplain called to tornado ravaged area by Trina Berlo Creemore resident Shirley Ferris is in Ottawa this week as a chaplain with a rapid response team. She is one of four crisis-trained volunteer chaplains from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association of Canada (BGEAC) now in OttawaGatineau to offer spiritual and emotional aid to residents, first responders and anyone else traumatized by the tornadoes that hit the area Sept. 21. The Echo reached Ferris by phone
on Wednesday. She was working with a crew of volunteers with Samaritan’s Purse Canada who were using chainsaws to clear trees felled by the storms. “We are in a residential area and it is surrounded by beautiful old, old evergreen trees and these evergreen trees have just snapped. The whole root system on some of these trees has been pulled up,” said Ferris. Her team was walking the Arlington Woods neighbourhood, one of the most

devastated areas hit by two tornadoes, providing emotional and spiritual support. The day before, they were in Dunrobin, a small community hit by a more powerful twister. “Some new subdivisions had recently gone in and they are totally decimated. The houses are totally blown away, there’s nothing left but the foundations. So there’s about 50 houses out there that are just totally wiped out,” said Ferris. (See “Rapid” on page 11)

Dozens of artists showing at festival (Continued from page 1) more than 100 scalpel blades and 100 bottles of crazy glue. The show will be set up in Room 2 at Station on the Green. Harloff will be present throughout the exhibit and will make presentations at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. both days. Next door, in Room 1, Peter Adams is also taking a micro look at life with 20 small paintings done in iPhone boxes, called iPaintings, which will be part of his show Things We Take With Us, Things We Leave Behind. It will include a carefully curated arrangement of objects representing the urbanite’s 20 years of rural living and at the centre will be an uprooted 80-year-old ash tree that has been segmented and reassembled. Adams, who recently moved to Collingwood, describes the show as a mixed media installation involving paintings and miscellaneous fragments gathered over 20 years of living in the Creemore community. It will explore themes of inspiration, sentimentality, nostalgia, mortality, hoarding, and letting go. “When I participated in the Labverde residency in Brazil last year, I painted the remarkably grand and complex Amazon rainforest inside of handheld mint and cigar tins. I saw these pieces as tiny souvenir boxes, which symbolized our desire to always take something home from our travels; as well as

I see these paintings as a comment on the ubiquitousness of consumer packaging of all kinds and as an acknowledgement that (the essentially useless) packaging of many products is sometimes part of the appeal of consuming the product itself. I also see these pieces as symbolizing our changing relationship to the natural world. Increasingly, we experience the larger world through miraculous pieces
of technology.” Adams will be presenting at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. both days. For a third featured exhibit entitled Time Immemorial: Mnaandendmowin, Adrian Kahgee and Debbie Ebanks Schlums will transform the interior of Creemore Log Cabin through installation, audio, and participatory performance, with the focal point being a large loom. “Since time immemorial, the Anishinaabek have looked over and engaged with this land. Travellers and guests who live here arrive every day and respect the treaty that governs this territory,” say the artists. “Enter a space where Nish time meets Island time, where a past, present and future treaty partnership is symbolically woven with the sacred space of a medicine wheel and the domestic space of a log cabin is adorned with a travelling scroll and quilts made by Saugeen community members.” “As artists, and all of us as neighbours, we will realize by weaving, moving, writing and drinking tea together, a wampum that connects the spirit and threads of all previous and future wampums. A wampum of respect for the layers and complexities of history of the land, trees and water, and the relationships that have developed and will develop with and on Turtle Island.” Creemore Festival of the Arts is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29 and Sunday, Sept. 28. Artists in the Village will be set up at the Hort Park, in local studios and many of the main street businesses. Pick up an event map at the information booth at Station on the Green and at businesses throughout town. Information is also available online at www.phahs.ca. The arts festival runs in conjunction with Small Halls Festival. For a full list of events, visit www. smallhallsfestival.ca.

The Way We Were
Pay equity long #overdue Midwives had a victory this week when the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ruled that they had indeed faced a form of discrimination. Midwives were not asking to be paid the same amount as family physicians but they were making a case for appropriate increases in compensation, equal to that of others in health care. The claim was that the service is undervalued because it is a field occupied by women, for women and about women. The court agreed there was evidence of that since no pay equity had been applied since 2005. It took the Association of Ontario Midwives five years for the tribunal to make its ruling and negotiations for compensation have yet to begin but the ruling should be taken to mean that the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care must take proactive steps to regularly monitor compensation for the impact of gender discrimination on the fairness of pay. Midwives have always served an important role in health care, at one time, delivering the babies born in their communities to family and friends for little or no compensation. Midwives were pushed out of delivery rooms at one point before making a come back, being integrated as primary health-care providers in the Ontario health-care system in 1994. There are only a handful of men working as midwives (we learned the word midwife means “with woman”), a so-called sex-segregated profession. Accounts of men attempting to get into the profession read like a reverse account of women trying to break into the medical profession more than a century ago. It shows we are not gender blind yet, not by a long shot, and it goes both ways. A quick poll around the office confirms that most women would rather have another woman attending their baby’s delivery. Monday’s ruling serves to support the current struggle for equity that is happening within many sectors of the population. It is idealistic to think that one day we will achieve true equality, but think it we must. That goes for men and women, and everyone else of the gender spectrum.

Coyote population out of control Editor: Our beautiful kitties are gone! They were snatched in the night by deadly stalkers…killers… On the farm we keep cats to control rodents but we also love our cats as pets. This spring and summer we have had 20 cats go missing in the night. We have three kittens left missing their most beautiful and loving mother, and one male cat left. He has been nurturing the kittens, as I’m sure, he knows the danger that lurks. The coyote population is out of control! They have no natural predator in our area. However, they have created an un-natural balance of wildlife by removing rabbits, turkeys, and deer from our midst. Most concerning to us is the disappearance of our cats and the fear of losing our baby calves. The coyote population is rampant and small animals, such as pets, are helpless and you certainly wouldn’t want to leave your child unattended outdoors. Recently we have been discussing our loss with fellow farmers and village friends. The shocking stories have shed greater light on how coyotes have moved into locations for greater ease for “the kill.” We have had multiple farmers share horrifying stories of losing sheep, calves and attacking cattle. In town stories of missing pets, even watching a small

A vote is the best defence Editor: These days, when bombast, lies and empty peoplepleasing promises can propel a candidate to the highest political office, a citizen’s foremost defence is the vote. All decisions have consequences. Their fallout benefits some people and hurts others. In government, whether of a nation or a municipality, there are no good decisions. There is only the choice of the least-bad one. That choice is made by fallible human beings. So it is vital to look at the integrity of the choosers. Are they honest, decent and wellmeaning? Are they experienced? Those are the qualities on which we have to rely. Allan Wargon, Mulmur.

The importance of getting a good night's sleep by Dr. Maggie Pattillo, ND Do you feel as though you got enough sleep this week? The answer is likely no. But I bet you heard someone bragging about running on minimal sleep. That’s the world we live in. Time is precious, and so we sacrifice our sleep. What could go wrong? Well, after millennia of not understanding what sleep really does, we finally have some answers. It turns out sleep is extremely beneficial and that cutting short a good night’s slumber creates serious health consequences. Even those who are getting just shy of a regular seven hours are linked to higher rates of cancer, Alzheimer disease, blood sugar imbalances, cardiovascular disease and stroke, not to mention the daily hazards of walking around with a tired, overworked brain, a bad memory, trouble focusing, poor cognition, irrationality... the list goes on. Many of us have been sacrificing our sleep for so long, it’s hard to accept these findings. That’s because our bodies have made tiredness the new normal. We can’t remember what it is like to feel truly rested and alert. So let’s quickly review the science on what is happening when we sleep. All animals have a built in 24-hour clock that determines when we want to be awake and when we want to
sleep. It’s called a circadian rhythm and everyone’s is unique (there really is a difference between morning people and night owls). Whichever camp you fall into, the human mind and body still need at least eight hours of good sleep each day to function properly. Let’s break down those eight hours to better understand why they are so essential. Sleep happens in phases, with each phase creating different benefits. Early on in the night, in deep wave or NREM sleep is more prevalent, your unconscious brain is alive with activity, sorting and memorizing the facts and faces you’ve learned - linking information and making space for new ideas. Later in the night, when REM sleep is more dominant, the brain is sharpening skills like motor skill memory (aka muscle memory). And throughout the night, you’re cycling between these states; flushing its systems, checking in on hormone levels and creating new pathways in the brain to better understand what happened today and further equip you for tomorrow. A typical night’s sleep cycles between these states several times. A shortened night’s sleep does not contain as many of these cycles and nor does it contain as many deep states of sleep. That carries consequences. For example, during
Local Church
Some Common Myths: #1 Older people need less sleep. Not true. Sleep quality can decline with age, which makes it even more important that you are getting the proper sleep quantity - at least 8 hours. #2 Sleeping pills are okay. Sleeping pills are not okay. The sleep they induce is not natural, meaning the physical and mental benefits of sleep are diminished. #3 If I wake up in the night, I should take a melatonin. Don’t! As you sleep, your melatonin levels decline. Giving yourself a spike in the middle of the night is counter to your body’s rhythm. #4 I’m just one of those people who only need 6 hours. Maybe. But more likely you just don’t remember what it feels like to function on a full night’s sleep. Try giving yourself a sleep window of 8 hours a night for a few weeks to see how it feels.
sleep we regulate a hormone that tells us when we are hungry. The less you sleep, the more you will eat. The more you eat... exactly. Sleep also regulates the relationship between our emotional response and the part of our brain responsible for rational decision making. Sleep less and your temper will be shorter, your decisions

more impulsive. There is so much we still don’t know about sleep but based on what we do know, it is time we all made those eight hours a real priority. Here are a few hints to help you get more sleep: 1. Avoid napping or caffeine after 3 p.m. In addition to the circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycle is assisted by adenosine, a chemical that builds up in the brain and creates sleep pressure when you are awake. Caffeine blocks the adenosine receptors, hence its perky effect. Late afternoon napping also interferes with your build-up of sleep pressure. 2. Create a bedtime routine and try to avoid alcohol or bright screens before bed. 3. Always get into bed at least nine hours before you are required to rise. 4. Spend time outside every day. Sun exposure, especially in the morning, is crucial in helping to determine your sleep/wake cycle. For more information, I recommend reading Why We Sleep by Mathew Walker, a leading researcher in sleep science. It opened my eyes to the latest sleep research and reminded me just how important sleep is in the bigger picture of health.

McArthur Apples is celebrating 100 years on the family farm this year. Earl McArthur (centre) was recently presented a certificate from Clearview Township Mayor Christopher Vanderkruys (left) and Councillor Kevin Elwood. Earl is the third generation McArthur to work the farm. He took it over from his father, Gordon, in 1979 and it was established by Archie McArthur in 1918.
Blessing of the animals at St. Luke's Sunday St. Luke’s Church will celebrate the “The Feast of St. Francis” on Sept. 30 with the blessing of the animals. During his lifetime in 1100s St. Francis, considered to be the Patron Saint of Animals, expressed true compassion and concern for the well being of creation, the environment and all animals. “The Feast of St. Francis” is a fitting
time to bless pets and to give thanks to God for them, remembering that pets are often a blessing and a gift from God. Bring pets to St. Luke’s Church, 22 Caroline St. W., on Sunday, Sept. 30, immediately following the 11:15 a.m. service. For more information, contact Rev. Wendy Moore at 705-352-0479.

Creemore minor baseball caps off season with awards banquet
Creemore Minor Select Baseball capped off its season with an awards banquet and dinner. The Creemore Minor Select Baseball League’s Dedication to the Game award in honour of Myles Morrish was granted to Tom Gateman for all of his efforts, dedication and time spent assisting in every way possible with the York Simcoe Select Playdowns Tournament that we hosted in August. Both the Peewees and Mosquitos had outstanding seasons with the Peewees ending their season with a record of 14-2-2 that landed them in
second place in the North Division of York Simcoe. The Mosquitos finished off in 1st place in the North Division of York Simcoe with a record of 10-4-0. Then both teams highlighted the season by making it to the finals in all of the York Simcoe Divisions Playdowns. We are extremely proud of everything that these two teams brought to our small, yet mighty, organization. We are also very thankful and full of gratitude for all of the coaches, volunteers, parents, grandparents and hometown fans for all of their support. We look forward to our expansion next year.

Rapid Response Team supports tornado victims (Continued from page 1) The residential areas are blocked off by police but the response team gets access when possible, although on Wednesday, as another storm came through their access was limited as heavy equipment like cranes and hydro trucks came through. “The police have been very supportive, allowing the right people to get where they need to go,” said Ferris. Initially residents were only allowed to get into their homes for 30 minutes to grab the essentials. When the team does talk to residents, Ferris said she can see that they are still in shock. “Many of them are thankful because it could have been a whole lot worse… The people are very emotional but they’re thankful for a lot of things. There was no loss of life, they had a basement to get into when they heard the roar… It’s a train sound that you hear when a tornado is going through,” said Ferris. She said the volunteers come from as far away as western Canada and there are a lot of local people from the community, who were not impacted by the tornadoes, also coming out to help. “We are the listening ear. We listen to their stories,” said Ferris. “We try to help them work through some of the emotions they’re experiencing and get their mind to a better place.”

the GNE Fairgrounds. There are still some trees that need to be planted at the Stayner Library, Creemore Pavilion at Gowan Park, and the Memorial Forest in Stayner, when the projects are complete. The club’s mission for the summer was to water these trees weekly to give them a good start. They had the help of many volunteers. Trent, Leanne, Nolan and Aiden Campbell helped out by watering the trees in Singhampton; Bill Schell watered trees in Brentwood, Lynn Wilkinson watered at the Lavender Cemetery, and Stayner firefighters are looking after the trees at the hub. Clearview Nursery supplied the trees, watering bags and planting. Clearview Township assisted in locating areas to plant trees and provided the water. Stayner Rental donated a watering trailer every week to help make watering go quickly. Stayner Lions members also need to be thanked for the many hours maintaining these trees.

Sandra Squire, Resident of Ward 3
Sandra has lived in Ward 3 since 1984. She is currently the President of the Stayner Lions Club and volunteers for many community initiatives. Why does Sandra think voting in the municipal election is important? As the self-proclaimed “least political person in Stayner” Sandra believes that voting is a right and a privilege that people worked very hard to achieve. There are many places in the world today that do not afford their people this privilege. Get out and vote!

Bill McDougall, Resident of Ward 5
In 2002, Bill bought his property and by 2006 his home was built. He has lived in Ward 5 ever since. Bill is an avid volunteer and participates as a member of the Station on the Green Board, the Creemore Curling Club Board and is also a member of Probus and investment Club. Why does Bill think voting in the municipal election is important? Just Do it! Bill strongly believes that residents need to participate and be involved. You may disagree with what Council chooses but it is much better to participate and have the opportunity to oppose than to not have concern about what is going on in your community. Our lives don’t revolve around the governments in Toronto or Ottawa, our lives revolve around our communities, our local governments. Make the choice that can impact your life, talk to candidates, take ownership in your community and participate in the voting process.
