Warm clothes needed for homeless St. Luke’s Anglican Church is organizing a clothing drive for the David Busby Centre in Barrie, which serves marginalized and homeless people throughout Simcoe County. From Nov. 2-23 people are asked to drop off specific items at The Creemore Echo office, located at 3 Caroline St. W. The centre is in need of under garments, long johns, hats, mittens and hand warmers, but most of all socks. They can never have too many socks. They have just had a jacket drive so coats are not needed at this time.

Mandy shared favourite things at celebration of life by Trina Berlo A celebration of life for Mandy ClarkeBridson, held at Kimbercote Oct. 27, was equal parts music, stories and food, all of her favourite things incorporated into a service she had planned herself for the most part. A joyful, zany, adventurous spirit with a desire to help those who needed it, Mandy had the large crowd singing This Little Light Of Mine between tributes from family and close friends, poetry, a slide show and live performances of My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion and Imagine by John Lennon. Although there were tears shed, Mandy made sure there was laughter, too.

Bells will ring out across nation by Trina Berlo Bells will ring out this Remembrance Day to mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War armistice. A century ago, bells rang out to celebrate the end of the war, on the 11th hour of the 11th day. Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command has asked that Legions across Canada help replicate the act this year for its Bells of Peace initiative. Creemore Legion is participating, working with the congregations of St. Luke’s Anglican Church and St. John’s United Church. It is especially meaningful, said Jim Henderson of the Creemore Legion, because the bells at both churches were rung at the time of the armistice. The community is invited to attend the ringing of the bells at dusk on Nov. 11 when citizens will take turns ringing the bells as part of a wave across the country and the world. The sound of Amazing Grace will be heard in the distance, as piper Tim Armour plays in the field between the two churches. For the first ring, the honour goes to veterans John Knappet, who has been asked to pull the rope at St. Luke’s, and Ken Thornton, who

When she found out that treatment options had run out in Canada, the Bridsons heading south to Arizona and later to Mexico in search of alternative treatment. All the while, her supporters held community fundraisers and donated to online crowd-funding campaigns to help ease the financial burden of international healthcare.

Formenton scores first NHL goal Alex Formenton scored his first NHL goal Oct. 30. It was the only goal by the Ottawa Senators in a grizzly 5-1 loss against the Arizona Coyotes. Formenton, 19, is a member of Creemore’s Robertson clan, the grandson of Donna Robertson. According to the Senators, Formenton set up in the circle and redirected Chris Wideman’s shot past Antti Raanta to notch his first career goal.

Learn to take the lead with equine assisted learning by Trina Berlo You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it stand on a glove. Or can you? With some out-of-thebox thinking, communication and teamwork, one may be surprised what can be accomplished. Meeting an objective – such as coaxing a horse to do something it has absolutely no intention of doing – is seemingly the goal of exercises at Gateway Farms Equine Assisted Learning Centre in Mulmur. But the real goal is to learn better communication and leadership skills by reading body language and working with others. Gateway Farms, which held its grand opening Sept. 23, offers experiential learning using horses. It is a partnership between aunt-niece duo Tess MacLean and Yvette Cadieux. Horses are herd animals, they explain, and have a natural hierarchy with an alpha male and alpha mare at the top. They are extremely communicative and don’t mind taking direction from a strong leader – that’s where the workshop participant has a chance to take the lead, literally. Workshops are open to everyone and people don’t have to have any experience with horses. And no, there is no horseback riding involved. “It’s fun for people who don’t know a lot about horses,” said MacLean. “They just want to be near the animals.” The horses are led through a variety of obstacles with set objectives. Activities
can be done solo or with a partner but really they are also completed in partnership with the horse. Whether for corporate teambuilding, date night or girls night out, the workshops aim to improve personal development, self exploration, teamwork and leadership. Then there are the more subtle lessons that can be learned from a horse, about body language and overcoming fear, said Cadieux. Both MacLean and Cadieux have a lot of experience with horses. MacLean said she was looking to get involved with something to help people unlock their potential and also involved horses. When she found an opportunity to rent a barn on the 4th Line of Mulmur, she took it. She recruited her niece because they are like-minded and had both experienced major loss in the past decade, which prompted them to do some soul searching of their own. “Sometimes you have to look inside yourself,” said MacLean. “Sometimes we just float through life and I wanted to create something meaningful.” Cadieux is a social worker who used to work with abused women and children. Both she and MacLean are certified equine assisted learning facilitators and there are plans to move into equine assisted grief counselling and other more therapeutic programming. Gateway Farms is home to eight horses and two ponies, including boarders. Three horses, all retired race and show horses are fully immersed in

Tess MacLean and Yvette Cadieux have opened Gateway Farms Equine Assisted Learning Centre in Mulmur. Blanche is one of the “teachers”. the equine assisted learning program (along with the two ponies, which are available for children’s workshops). Although the horses are retired, they still enjoy having tasks and working with people, said MacLean. “They are great teachers. They are great with people. They really teach people how to think outside the box.
There are so many ah-ha moments,” said MacLean. Workshops can be one day or over multiple weeks and summer camps are also offered. Upcoming workshops and fees are posted at www.gatewayfarmseal.com. For more information call 519-2164021.
Scholarship being set up to continue sponsorships (Continued from page 1) school teacher in Clearview and a builder of schools in parts of the world where children did not have access to education. As Elephant Thoughts executive director Jeremy Rhodes said, while on an extended family vacation the Bridsons set up a kindergarten in India
for Elephant Thoughts and then went to Africa and set up a Tanzania arm. Mandy kept apprised of the students’ welfare and ran an annual sponsorship drive to support the 150 children from poor families so they could continue to attend school. It was done through Elephant Thoughts, said Rhodes, but it was all Mandy.
The stories of her tenacity go on. She never took no for an answer when she felt a child could be helped. Mandy shared her cancer journey with friends, regularly posting updates, pictures and videos, with an openness and honesty that was truly inspiring. “A warrior, adventurer, and loving spirit,” indeed.
Through Elephant Thoughts’ connection with Kimbercote, in the Beaver Valley, Mandy was honoured with prayers and ceremonies by Indigenous community members. The organization will be accepting donations to a scholarship fund set up in Mandy’s name to continue her education sponsorship program.

Opinion OPINION
Social media dominance
by Eve Clements According to research by Common Sense Media, the average teenager spends up to nine hours per day consuming media. That’s nine hours of, among other things, YouTube videos, Instagram posting and browsing, Snapchat and Snapchat Streaks. Nine hours of time dedicated strictly to something that doesn’t matter, and that distracts from the things that do. Of those nine hours, more than a quarter of that time is spent on social media, which has been correlated with both anxiety and depression. We’re passing our days focused on “likes”, comparing ourselves to others, and spending more time on media than we are sleeping, working, or studying. My generation is exhausted, and we’re only in our second decade of life. Staying connected and maintaining our social standing is extremely important to my generation. But in our excessive focus on social media, we’re missing out on the real importance of actually being social. We may spend six hours a day, five days a week at school. Maybe we work at a part time job with customers. We might hang out with friends on the weekends. But during almost all of that time we are also staring at our phones or computers. The Cambridge Dictionary defines addiction as “an inability to stop doing or using something, especially something harmful.” As a teen living in this connected era, I can’t think of a more accurate description of the nine hours we’re spending on media each day. It’s not just entertainment, it’s the beginning of a mental health crisis. There is one solution for this disease: limit time on social media. Escaping this addiction leaves more time for exercise, really hanging out with friends instead of commenting on their posts, and finishing homework on time. Limit your screen time and you’ll be less tired, more happy, and less stressed out. Any addiction can be hard to let go of, and most have horrible side effects of withdrawal, the only side effect of this is positivity. Create a better life for yourself and quit the addiction that’s running it for you.

Bud cans most prevalent in ditch clean-up
Letter
Dear “Bud” drinkers, It’s interesting that on our regular walks, it’s mostly your cans that we’re picking out of the ditches. If you insist on drinking while driving, which frankly is more of a concern, the least you can do is take your cans home to recycle. Better still, although the flavour will never compare to the local brews, wait till you get home to have that cold and frosty. We’re getting tired of cleaning up after you. Barb and Peter Halsall, Glen Huron.
Editor: While it is important to give congratulatory recognition to the winners in the recent election, it is also important to note that the voter turnout was a mere 38 per cent of the total electorate. That means, for example, that the new mayor was elected by approximately 20 per cent of the eligible voters, not even close to a simple majority and, obviously, the entire council was not given anything close to a mandate by the electorate. I suggest the new council needs to ask why is there such apathy towards the election and does it truly remain relevant to the majority of eligible voters. When the township introduced electronic voting
for the 2014 election it was following a 45 per cent voter turnout in 2010. The predictions by the clerk, who promoted the new approach was that it should help to increase voter turnout to a much higher number. In fact, turnout in that election was down to 42 per cent and now four years later we have a 38 per cent turnout. It may be unfair to say that electronic voting has been a real failure but the results of two election cycles speak volumes. My cynical side predicts that the new council will meet, consider lots of new bylaws and other heady decisions, including an increase in our water rates and taxes, quite oblivious to the fact that they do not represent a majority of
New council needs to ask, why is voter apathy on the rise?

disinterested Clearview voters. If they examine the lack of voter engagement they may find that electronic voting has failed the democratic process or even worse that they, individually and collectively, are personally failing to meet voter expectations. Either way there is a real problem and under Mayor Measures’ leadership they need to find solutions. Perhaps the council is truly irrelevant in the total scheme of things and they should be thinking about amalgamation in some form with other municipalities or with Simcoe County. Food for thought!

(Continued from page 5) Duntroon. It was a quiet wedding on a Wednesday. There were no wedding guests and presents were very few. Also showers for brides had not been invented at that time. By today’s standards May had a very limited amount of the usual household gadgets. For our wedding trip we went by CNR to Guelph and London but mostly to May’s cousin at St. Thomas. We returned to the old homestead and was the old house ever cold! The coal range heated the living room well but the bedroom above was cold. Uncle Reub who had started to live with his brother Bill called one day and when we told him our bedroom was cold he opened his heart and said, “Go down to my bush and find a dead tree and try burning wood.” I did this and the change was wonderful. I found there is little heat off stovepipes when one burns coal but lots of heat when one burns wood. We had a fair crop in 1917 and right away I decided to do something to make the house warmer. Talk about starting up on a shoestring. Well, we did and
survived. We both worked very hard and I must have got a great deal of help from my home folk. Our first baby was coming in the autumn and preparations had to be made. Fortunately we had a big crop in 1918 and prices were good. We were well established and great were our expectations. Then the flu hit. (The worldwide Spanish flu pandemic). People were dying everywhere. Two doctors at Stayner got the bug and died. I was scared stiff. Good old Dr. Bradley of Creemore was our doctor and with a baby coming he told me to stay at home and avoid contacts. He called at home every week and figured out that our first-born would arrive about Oct. 13. He had suggested a nurse and one who had not been exposed to the flu bug. The arrival of David Angus (pictured top left, brother Charles, bottom) on Oct. 27 appeared to his proud parents the most wonderful event that had ever happened. The new member of the Smith clan had the distinction of being the first of the clan of the 5th generation to live on the farm of the pioneer ancestors.
Dufferin OPP are investigating two complaints of vehicles not stopping for school buses with their flashing lights activated. In one incident, a cement truck passed a school bus on shoulder with bus emergency lights flashing, and in another, a large flat-bed commercial vehicle passed the school bus on the right again with its lights flashing. Dufferin OPP say they travel school bus routes every day looking for aggressive driving and drivers who fail to stop for the red flashing lights of the school bus. When there is no median, motorists travelling in both directions, must stop for a stopped school bus that has its overhead red signal lights flashing. Drivers are not to proceed until the lights on the school bus
have stopped flashing. The stop arm is not required to be extended. Vehicle owners can also be charged if their vehicle illegally passes a stopped school bus, regardless of who is driving the vehicle at the time. Bicycles (which are considered vehicles under the Highway Traffic Act) are also subject to the same laws as motor vehicles, so they must also stop for the red overhead signals of a school bus. Penalties include fines from $400 to $4,000, up to six months in jail and six demerit points upon conviction for drivers. The next time you are driving and see a school bus, give it space, ease off the gas, and remember that it could stop at any time.
Drivers violate school bus laws
Reminder, pet waste allowed in green bin The County of Simcoe’s green bin program has expanded to accept pet waste, kitty litter and small animal cage bedding. County waste audits indicate that pet waste makes up 15 per cent of the average household garbage bag. Removing pet waste from the garbage stream, and ultimately landfills, will also benefit the environment as when it is landfilled, pet waste contributes to the production of methane, a greenhouse gas 20 times
stronger than CO2, and to the production of leachate which can negatively impact groundwater resources. Pet waste placed in the green bin must be contained in paper or certified compostable bags. No plastic or biodegradable plastic is permitted. A reminder that the maximum weight accepted through the County’s curbside green bin program is 44 pounds per bin, to a maximum of six bins. To learn more, please visit www.simcoe.ca.

in memoriam Dunn, George March 4, 1939 – October 30, 2014 I cried when you passed away. I still cry today. When you were called away To be our angel. But you are not suffering any more. Oh, what we would give To hear your voice & see your beautiful smile. But you won’t be alone Because part of us went with you. But some day we will meet again. Sadly missed but not forgotten, Your wife Heather and family. Bigham – In loving memory of our husband and father, Harold “Big Harold” Bigham who left us on November 2, 2005. Remember him with a smile today. He was not one for tears. Reflect instead on memories. Recall to mind the way he spoke And all the things he said. His strength, his stance, The way he walked. Though absent, he is always near. Still missed, loved, always dear. Love always, Marion, Janet and Paul, Janice and Julie Ann. In loving memory of two dear friends Jim Trott who left us on October 29, 2007 and Cliff Hart who left us on October 31, 2005. Tenderly we treasure the past, With memories that will always last. And when old times we do recall, It’s then we miss you most of all. Love always, Marion, Janet, Janice and Julie Ann Bigham Gale, Sylvia November 2, 1938 – November 2, 2013. Beloved wife and mother. Happy memories hold on forever. Of the days and times When we were all together. They bring us smiles, more often a tear But always wishes that You were still here. Sadly missed by husband Warren Gale, kids: Louie & Ron, Sharon & Guy, Laurie & Bryce, Terry & Kim and families.
