Doug Measures elected mayor by Trina Berlo Doug Measures was victorious in his run for mayor of Clearview Township. Measures won with 2,565 votes, beating out Christopher Vanderkruys, who got 1,967 votes. “I’m feeling very good. I think that it was a very good campaign. I am very grateful to supporters who helped me but mostly I am very grateful to the voters across all of Clearview Township who stepped up and recognized the message that I was bringing and showed their support by voting for me,” said Measures. The three-term Ward 1 council rep ran for mayor on a platform of open communication with the hope of increasing public participation and idea sharing between residents and politicians. “The wait was quite nerve-wracking considering what was happening in our neighbouring municipalities and their electoral process,” said Measures, referring to problems with the Dominion Voting System, which caused Collingwood to declare an emergency extension of the voting

MNR attempts to trap Mulmur bear by Trina Berlo Debbie Gray said she had heard through the grapevine that there was a bear in the area but didn’t think too much of it until the bear destroyed beekeeping equipment and broke into a chicken coop. She and husband Jeff Chalmers operate Heritage Bee Company at their Mulmur property. “We had just moved all of our honey [boxes] outside for storage which is standard protocol in Ontario and the one stack was knocked over,” said Gray. She suspected it might be a bear so they set up a trail camera. “The next night we heard the most

rooster being so badly injured that it had to be put down. The bear had ripped through the chicken coop, which Gray describes as iron clad. It is built like a home with insulation and cement pad, to get to the chickens. “The bear managed to rip one of the wall sections off anchors in concrete,” she said. It was all caught on the trail cam. The bear had torn apart beehive frames. They have footage of the bear coming right up on the porch and came to the door. Gray contacted the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) and at first they said they (See “Multiple” on page 5)
The driver of a motorcycle was airlifted to a Toronto hospital on Oct. 19 after sustaining life threatening injuries from a crash with a minivan at the corner of Airport Road and County Road 21 in Mulmur. Police say a preliminary investigation revealed that the minivan was travelling eastbound on Dufferin Road 21 and failed to stop at a stop sign, colliding with the northbound motorcycle at about 1 p.m. Dufferin EMS responded and called for Ornge Air Ambulance to transport the injured man to hospital. The driver of minivan sustained minor injuries. Airport Road was closed for several hours to allow for the investigation, which is ongoing. Dufferin OPP Const. Paul Nancekivell said police are waiting for the motorcyclist to recover enough to be interviewed by police and as of yet no charges had been laid.
Theft from vehicles
Several Creemore residents are reporting that their vehicles have been ransacked in the night. Would-be thieves are targeting unlocked vehicles in the village but locked vehicles have also been broken into. In some cases only small amounts of money or items of little value have been stolen but police warn unlocked vehicles can also put people at risk of identity theft. Wallets and purses are sometimes left behind and vehicle ownerships and insurance cards also contain personal information

Election results Clearview Township Doug Measures was elected mayor with 2,565 votes, winning out over incumbent Christopher Vanderkruys, who got 1,967 votes. Replacing Measures in the Ward 1 council seat is Ed Christie. He got 478 votes, winning out over Phyllis Dineen (263 votes) and Al Bell (219 votes). In Ward 2, Doug McKechnie won with 526 votes, over Donna Baylis (94 votes). In Ward 3, John Broderick won with 408 votes, over Maqsood Dogar (226 votes). In Ward 5, Thom Paterson won with 469 votes, over Anthony Sist (244 votes). In Ward 7, John Lamers won with 374 votes, over Deborah Bronée (278 votes). Deputy Mayor Barry Burton, Ward 4 councillor Robert Walker and Ward 6 councillor Connie Leishman, were all acclaimed. Voter turnout was 38.03 per cent (4,608 out of 12,117 eligible voters cast a ballot during the election period).
Mulmur Township Janet Horner was elected mayor. She received 887 votes, winning out over incumbent Paul Mills, who had 611 votes. Earl Hawkins retained the deputy mayor’s seat with 862 votes, winning out over Keith Lowry, who got 609 votes. The three vacant council seats will go to Shirley Boxem (1,021 votes), Patricia Clark (886 votes) and Ken Cufaro (837 votes). Voter turnout was 42.6 per cent (1,517 out of 3,565 eligible voters cast a ballot; 1,150 voted by internet and 367 voted by phone.) SCDSB Trustee There was a very close race for Simcoe County District School Board trustee representing Clearview, Essa, Base Borden and Adjala-Tosorontio. Robert North won narrowly with 4,589 votes, over Brandy Rafeek’s 4,538 votes. Here’s how it breaks down by municipality: Clearview: North, 1,723; Rafeek, 1,718 Essa: Rafeek, 1,574; North, 1,337 Adjala-Tosorontio: North, 1,529; Rafeek, 1,246 Peter Fracassi was acclaimed as Simcoe Muskoka Catholic School Board trustee.
Horner elected Mulmur mayor by Trina Berlo Janet Horner will be taking the mayor’s seat in Mulmur Township when the next council is sworn in. Horner won with 887 votes, beating out Paul Mills, who had 611 votes. On the evening of Oct. 22, all candidates gathered at town hall in Terra Nova to hear the results announced. “I went into the whole day with butterflies. I just couldn’t call it. I couldn’t determine how we were going to do. When they actually posted the numbers on the board, I thought, my goodness, that’s me,” said Horner. “I’ve had a real strong team behind me and they’ve pushed me to do some things that I might not have done on my own and I felt very thankful for all that help and relieved that it was going to be over. She said she is exhausted from the campaign, which caused her to knock on more than 1,000 doors, hold a number of coffee meetings in people’s homes and attend candidate meetings.
Ken Thornton was surrounded by family and friends for his 100th birthday bash at Station on the Green on Oct. 21. About 350 people were there to help celebrate, along with the RCMP Pipes and Drums band.
Horner said she found people were very engaged and for the most part happy to spend some time talking politics. Although most people are quite content living in Mulmur, she found, people also had a lot of ideas – anything from how to improve a playground to speed concerns and road maintenance. “We have a notebook full of ideas that people were throwing out at us at the door,” said Horner. She said as part of the new council’s orientation she wants to have a goalsetting session, which will include sharing the ideas that all the candidates heard at the door and setting priorities. “A big thank you to all those who helped me get here. It certainly wasn’t something I did alone,” said Horner. “There was a whole network of folks in Mulmur that was so supportive.” Horner, who has served one term as councillor, will be joined at the council table by Deputy Mayor Earl Hawkins and three new councillors – Shirley Boxem, Patricia Clark and Ken Cufaro.
Thom Paterson stays on as Creemore, Avening rep (Continued from page 1) was delivered.” Measures said after the announcement he retired to The Doornoch pub in Nottawa to celebrate. He was joined by councillors-elect Doug McKechnie (Ward 2), Ed Christie (Ward 1), and John Broderick (Ward 3), as well as supporters, family and friends. “It was great to celebrate together,” he said. “I look forward to serving as the mayor of Clearview Township and I look forward to working with members of council, members of staff and of the public in a collaborative to move Clearview Township forward,” said

Measures. “I’d also like to remind everyone to keep the 25th anniversary of Clearview Township on their minds as we will be certainly celebrating that all through the spring next year.” In other election news, Thom Paterson retained his Ward 5 seat representing Creemore and Avening, with a healthy lead over opponent Anthony Sist; Deborah Bronée lost her Ward 7 seat, representing New Lowell and Brentwood, to John Lamers. Deputy Mayor Barry Burton was acclaimed, along with Ward 6 councillor Connie Leishman and Ward 4 councillor Robert Walker.

The Way We Were
Happy Halloween! Local residents are warned there is an invasion planned for Wednesday night. Creatures of all sorts will be making their way from house to house starting at dusk. Homeowners are urged to open the door with caution and deposit a small treat into the visitors’ goodie bags. By all accounts, the visitors are expected to be relatively friendly and display good manners, but anything is possible. It is not known how long the invasion will last, so it is best to be well prepared by stocking up on sugary treats, high in corn syrup and food colouring. Participating downtown businesses will be staying open late on Halloween to welcome trick-or-treaters. The Creemore Echo crew will be handing out candy. Please come by on Wednesday, Oct. 31 to show off your costumes and have your photo taken at our photo booth. Across the street, at Clear Tax View is offering up some ghoulish activities and Flowers by Ms. Design are partnering for a pumpkin-carving contest on Halloween night. Bring your pumpkin to the flower shop, at 5 Francis St. E. before 5 p.m. See ads on page 6-7 for details.
10 Trick-or-Treat Tips Halloween can be an exciting time for children and with the distraction of candy and costumes, safety rules can easily be forgotten. There will be lots of little ghouls, goblins and ghosts out on the streets tonight and here’s how you can take extra care. 1. Children under the age of nine should be accompanied by an adult or responsible older child since they may lack the developmental skills to cross the street on their own. 2. Teach your child to stop at the curb, look left, right and left again, and to listen for oncoming traffic. 3. Choose face paint instead of masks. 4. Always cross at crosswalks, street corners or intersections – it’s unsafe to cross between parked cars or other obstacles. 5. Stay on the sidewalk when walking from house to house, and if there is no sidewalk, walk beside the road, facing traffic so drivers can see you. 6. Drive slowly in residential areas where children are more likely to be trick-or‐treating. 7. Watch out for kids, many of who will be wearing costumes that limit their vision. 8. Reduce distractions, such as cellphones or loud music, and stay alert. 9. Children should wear costumes with bright fabrics or reflective material and carrying a flashlight. 10. Trick-or-treat in familiar areas that are well lit. Send your letters to The Creemore Echo, 3 Caroline Street West, Box 1219, Creemore, ON L0M 1G0, e-mail to info@ creemore.com or drop them off at the Echo’s Office.

Nottawasaga & Creemore Public School Annex Bell Editor: As a follow-up to the recent article on saving the bell I would like to expand on the historic significance of that bell. In 1881 a new four-room school was built on two lots at the corner of Caroline and Collingwood streets. It originally did not have an outside bell. In 1882 the citizens of Creemore and the surrounding township raised enough money to purchase one having it installed in a bell tower on the roof. That school originally was heated by wood burning pot-bellied stoves in each room and it was often quite cold. Helen Blackburn mentions in her book “Has The Bell Rung Yet?” that the principal, William Mackay, would come into a room and blow his breath. If he could see it he closed the school for the day. It also did not have indoor plumbing but girls and boys outhouses in the yard. In 1916 the board realized they had to build a new school. Beside the antiquated heating and plumbing, it could not
Avening WI hears about Mount Everest trek The first official report of the Women’s Institute ode occurred between 1910 and 1915 and can be sung to the tune of “Auld Lang Syne”. The first two lines say, “A goodly thing it is to meet in friendship’s circle bright”, and that was the thinking of the members of Avening Women’s Institute as they met on Sept. 13 to begin a new year of meeting together to study timely topics and to plan community events of interest to all. President Joan Morby brought us up-to-date on fall events for our branch and district happenings that will take place at Simcoe County Museum. The theme this year is “increase your outreach, keep on making history”.

accommodate the increased enrolment and provide classes up to Grades 11, 12 or 13. In March of 1916 the board accepted a tender from Mr. J. Akitt, a local hardware owner and builder to build a new six-classroom school for $17,940. By January of 1917, it was officially opened with the donated bell from the old school proudly on its roof. As a tribute to Mr. Akitt’s workmanship, 101 years later, one would be hard pressed to find a crack in the brickwork. No reference to the bell would be complete without mention of excursions to the attic. The little room at the end of the upstairs hall was the library. In the ceiling was a trap door to the attic with a convenient folding ladder behind the door. Certainly not all but, a number of students at some time made a trip to the attic. This can be verified by the number of signatures on the very large brick chimney, including mine. Gerry Blackburn, Creemore.

Marilyn Steed, health and safety convener, had the program for this meeting. In April her daughter Barb Steed, executive vice president, Patient Services and Chief Practice Officer at Markham Stouffville Hospital, and 25 others journeyed to Nepal to climb to Mount Everest Base Camp. This undertaking was done to help raise funds for equipping a new hybrid operating room for their hospital. They were thrilled to be accompanied by Sir Edmund Hillary’s son, Peter. It was exciting to have him included in their group. At the end of the meeting we gathered around (See “WI” on page 5)

(Continued from page 4) Marilyn’s table to look at Barb’s excellent pictures and to discuss our own most memorable trips. Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month. October plans include a dinner meeting and in November, we look forward to hearing Sara Hershoff, publisher of The Creemore Echo, as she speaks on the role of the newspaper in small towns. All are welcome to join us. Please call Joan Morby at 705-466-2902, if you are interested in attending. The following is an excerpt of Barb’s account of her trek: I have had surgery, given birth and run a half marathon but trekking to Base Camp Mount Everest is the hardest thing I’ve ever done both mentally and physically. People told me it would be life changing and that I would not only take a part of the Himalayas home with me, but I would also leave a piece of myself there. I listened to what they said but thought to myself, I’m not really one of those spiritual types. It will be an adventure sure, but it won’t be life changing. I believe it was about day two or three of a 13-day trek that I was tweeting about my life-changing experience. I could blame that on the thin air but the feeling has significantly persisted since coming home to sea level. There are so many experiences that have stuck with me and have reframed the way I think and proceed through my day. The full account is posted at creemore.com/community.
(Continued from page 1) wouldn’t trap it and that the only option was to deter it or have the bear killed. Being non-hunters, they would have to find someone else to do it. In the meantime, they cleaned up the property, rebuilt the chicken coop and bought electric fencing. But the bear came back Tuesday night. Whereas it is normal for a bear to eat what it can find on its way to its winter den, this bear is becoming a nuisance. Gray said it has been a difficult and confusing ordeal because she needs to protect the hives and her chickens but on the other hand, doesn’t want the bear killed. On Wednesday, a crew from the MNRF decided to come to out and set a live trap. They spent Wednesday afternoon baiting a trap with honey, marshmallows, Jello mix, and vanilla extract. At this time of year, bear are loading up on calories to build up fat stores to get them through hibernation. The concern is that the bear’s behaviour is a bit problematic and is now aware of a tempting food source. Because Gray and Chalmers are professional beekeepers, they can’t remove the food source and the bear may not move along on its own. The MNRF evaluates trapping bears on a case-by-case basis because relocation has proven to be largely ineffective. Research confirms that many relocated bears often return to the areas from which they were removed. This bear is a candidate for relocation because, based on available images, it appears to be a juvenile and may

It would be released in a remote area where there is sufficient habitat and natural food sources. If the bear is relocated and comes back, there is still a chance it may have to be euthanized, said Gray. This fall, several bear sightings have been reported to The Creemore Echo. In September a bear was seen in
the Mad River in Creemore, then this month a bear tried to get into a home in Mulmur, breaking the screen door, and another reader shared security camera footage of a bear but no damage was caused. Other stories of close encounters are circulating in the community of Mulmur. It is possible they are all accounts of this particular bear.
