Clearview opts out of recreational cannabis Council acknowledges cannabis retail is coming, but holds off on approval until dust settles by Trina Berlo Clearview council has decided to opt out of recreational cannabis retail, at this time. Most council members around the table were in agreement on Monday night when the issue was discussed at town hall in Stayner. The general consensus was that recreational cannabis would eventually be sold in retail stores across the province, including municipalities like Clearview, but in these early days and with so much uncertainty about how the newly legalized substance would roll out, council and staff agreed that Clearview should opt out at this time and see what happens. Before council members discussed the issue, Mayor Doug Measures orchestrated a special public consultation session. He invited the public to attend an open-mic style commenting session, which about seven residents took advantage of. They all expressed misgivings about

Former councillor Deborah Bronée speaks at a public consultation on recreational cannabis Jan. 7. having recreational cannabis retail stores in Clearview. New Lowell resident Chuck

Arrand said when he moved to the community with two teenagers he had no idea he was moving to

“marijuana central”. He said he tried unsuccessfully to keep his children away from it and isn’t keen to see more of it in the community. Former councillor Deborah Bronée also spoke, saying council should heed the advice they heard at the last Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference, which was “go slow.” “I supported medical cannabis being grown in the municipality,” she said. “I feel differently about recreational cannabis.” Robert Masters said, “We are a nice town of nice people. A quiet community. Now is not the time to make waves. Let’s stay out of it.” The fact that municipalities who opt out now can opt in later, but not the other way around, was a factor in forming people’s opinions. “That’s truly scary,” said Andy Hue. Many unknowns about how cannabis retail would be integrated into existing commercial zones, the lack of local input and a short 15-day window for commenting on licence approvals gave residents more reasons to opt out at this time and see how rules and regulations (See “This” on page 3)

Christie calls for immediate purchase of Nottawa speed signs by Trina Berlo On Jan. 21 council will consider a motion from Councillor Ed Christie to immediately purchase and install two digital speed signs on County Road 124, at the north and south entrances of Nottawa. The purchase of said speed signs were approved at the Nov. 19, pending 2019 budget approval. Christie said he hopes to find enough support around the council table to expedite that process. Notice was given at Monday’s

meeting so the motion could be reconsidered on Jan. 21 citing “great community concern regarding speeding through the village of Nottawa on County Road 124 and a call for immediate action.” “I want to show the people of Nottawa that we have been listening because they have been [complaining] about this for so long,” said Christie. He said he is advocating for the immediate installation of the digital signs because they act as a deterrent for speeding.

He said it could be a good test for the rest of the township. As part of the November motion, staff was directed to recommend further locations where the signs can be installed and to speak with the vendor to determine if Clearview can have a bulk purchase price. The expenditure, not to exceed $11,000, is included in the 2019 budget, lumped in with $75,000 in spending on traffic control signs. Budget deliberations are underway this month.

“This is a point to step back and learn from mistakes” (Continued from page 1) shake out. “At first I thought it was hypocritical to opt out,” said Bob Charlton. “But I do support the motion because we don’t know enough about it… If we were able to accept the conditions for which a store were to operate, we could opt in.” Immediately following the public consultation session, council members weighed in with their thoughts. Every one of them voted to opt out, with the exception of Ed Christie. Doug McKechnie, acknowledging this is council’s first controversial decision of its new term, said he was going back and forth on the issue day-by-day, and sometimes hourby-hour. “It will be coming to Clearview. This is an opportunity for us to try our best to control it,” said McKechnie. “This is a point to step back and learn from mistakes.” Connie Leishman, councillor for Ward 6, where Peace Naturals is located, said, “I think we should sit down with our growers and maybe they can walk us through this… Hopefully they can help us through this if we do eventually opt in… The rules and regulations are going to change so much. Let’s wait until the dust settles.” Thom Paterson raised the issue of health concerns saying the

I am not in favour now and not ever.” John Lamers and John Broderick echoed concerns about the timing and the roll out with Lamers saying, “We have a lot of work ahead of us and we have time to look at it.” “The way this has been rolled out comes across as heavy handed,” said Broderick. “That there is no way to opt

out really sticks in my craw. Our hands will be tied far too tightly.” “We are all saying the same thing

here,” said Barry Burton before Christie identified himself as the “odd man out.” Christie was the only councillor to vote to opt in, saying cannabis is already available through the online store and he has faith in the system, with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario handing the licensing. “It would be our responsibility to opt in,” said Christie, adding that it is legal and businesses will have the right to attempt to get into the market. He said opting out could eventally lead to a legal challenge. Measures also spoke in support of opting out before calling for a recorded vote, at McKechnie’s suggestion. CAO Steve Sage assured council that township staff would inform the province the next day of their decision to opt out, well within the appointed timeframe and before the Jan. 22 deadline.

The Way We Were

Reclaim the word 'female' Newsweek recently tweeted the headline, “Donald Trump branded a motherf***er for second time in three days, this time by Canada’s first woman prime minister.” The story was about comments made by Kim Campbell. As packed as that headline is, the take-away shouldn’t have been the use of woman as an adjective but it was jarring. The use of woman as an adjective has become prevalent in newswriting and on social media. And it is jarring every time. You wouldn’t write, “Man president deserved it”, for instance. That would be wrong, right? Well, it’s not wrong to use woman prime minister anymore. Thanks to the evolution of language, words that take on a negative connotation are left in the dust, leaving the rest of us clueless. It turns out the word female has baggage, whereas the word male still travels light. Modern writers understand that the word female can be interpreted as degrading because of its slang use as an insult to women, drawing comparisons to a female dog or having weakness. So because a word has been adopted as an insult it is removed from the lexicon? This is giving too much power to those who use their positions of power to degrade others. We must take back the word female. It would be extra great if we could get to a point where we didn’t even have to point out that Kim Campbell was the first “woman prime minister”. We would still pay attention to a headline that reads, “Donald Trump branded a motherf***er for second time in three days, this time by former Canadian prime minister.” The media is embarrassing itself by kowtowing to readers who are offended to read about someone described as a female, forsaking grammar. Female is a fine word. It has absolutely no relevance in a story about politicians but when talking about the reproduction of species, it is essential to life. If the sexes are to achieve equality, we can’t let these words get in the way. There are many examples of words that have been used as weapons, some of which have been subsequently reclaimed by the communities they originally aimed to insult and used with pride. Sometimes media’s use of words to classify people, such as a reference to a physical attribute or a sexual preference, is extremely relevant to the story and even serves to elevate and advance the cause. At other times, it is a distraction and best left out. Not every time a woman makes headlines is a reference to her gender or sex needed. We must ask ourselves when referring to a person specifically as a woman, or noting skin colour for that matter, would we make the distinction if we were referencing a man? Have you ever seen a headline that read, “White male president Donald Trump branded a motherf***er for second time in three days”? We think not.

Province freezes hunting licence Ontario cancels scheduled 2019 licence fee increase Ontario is putting a stop to hunting licence fee increases for all Ontario residents and removing the $2 service fee. “We’re making it easier for Ontarians to enjoy the great outdoors by keeping hunting licences affordable,” said John Yakabuski, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. “This year, there will be no price hike and no service fee. This will put approximately $1.6 million back into the pockets of the hard-working people of Ontario.” In addition to freezing fees, the government has updated hunting regulations to make things better for

hunters across the province. These changes include a new Licence Summary that can be stored on a mobile device or printed at home, paper tags that replace the old game seals and enhanced hunter reporting. “The hunting industry contributes nearly half a billion dollars to the Ontario economy,” said Minister Yakabuski. “Our hunters are some of the best stewards of our lands and waters and we want to make it easier for them to enjoy our world class natural resources.” For more information on hunting in Ontario, please visit www.ontario.ca/page/hunting. Ontario’s Government for the People also recently froze fishing licence fees and added two new licence-free fishing events in 2019 on the weekends of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

January is Alzheimer's Awareness Month

Optimal viewing at midnight

“Life has lots of bumps in the road. My dementia is just one of those bumps. You don’t give up anytime you run into a barrier,” said Ron Robert, 81. He is no stranger to dementia, having lost three siblings and an uncle to the disease. But when he was diagnosed three years ago, it still came as a shock. Once the reality of the news sunk in, however, Robert decided there was only one way forward: Stay positive and get on with his life. After all, he had a bucket list that included such goals as going to university. Having served as an advisor to former Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau, Robert enrolled in a political science course at Wilfrid Laurier University. It wasn’t easy at first—he had to work hard to keep up with his classmates, remember his way around the campus and concentrate on his assignments. But he finished the course with an A. Robert is now studying ageism at King’s University College in London and completing a research paper on the benefits of education for people with dementia. When he’s not at school, Robert stays active both physically and socially, walking everywhere and spending time with his family. He is Métis and married to a member of the Oneida Nation of the Thames. They have three grown children. There is much more to Robert than his disease, and he has lots of life left to live. That’s the premise of the Alzheimer Society’s continuing nationwide campaign: Yes. I live with dementia.

(Continued from page 4)

Let me help you understand. While there is no question that dementia is a challenging disease, it’s just one aspect of a person’s life story. The campaign, which launched January 7, during Alzheimer ’s Aw a r e n e s s M o n t h , s h o w c a s e s the unique and diverse stories of individuals from across the country living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. The aim of the campaign is to change attitudes toward the disease and erase the stigma. Life continues after a diagnosis of dementia. “We’re turning the conversation over to the experts,” said Debbie Islam, CEO at the Alzheimer Society of Simcoe County. “We believe sharing the stories of Canadians living with dementia will fuel a more open, supportive and inclusive dialogue around dementia, and give confidence to others who have this disease to live their best lives.” Research shows that stigma around dementia is rampant. In a survey commissioned by the Alzheimer Society last year, 1-in-4 Canadians said they would feel ashamed or embarrassed if they had dementia, while 1-in-5 admitted to using derogatory or stigmatizing language about dementia. While accepting a diagnosis of dementia is hard enough, it’s even harder to deal with reactions from others. “You’re immediately labeled,” said 59-year-old Keith Barrett, who lives with young onset Alzheimer’s. Barrett is the co-founder and director of a small Ottawa-based organization that provides supports to individuals

with a variety of developmental and physical disabilities. He continues to work despite his diagnosis. “My wife Robin and I didn’t sign up for this disease,” said Barrett. “But when others spend so much time looking at you differently, they lose sight of the fact that we share the same life experiences as any other couple on the journey of life. We have good days and bad days. We don’t want to be treated differently. We want to feel accepted and make it acceptable to speak candidly about dementia. We need to look out for each other.” In addition to helping Canadians better understand dementia, the campaign provides a platform for people like Barrett and Robert to define who they are as individuals, rather than being defined by the disease. Throughout January and the remainder of the year, Canadians are invited to visit the campaign’s dedicated website to read and watch the compelling stories of people getting on with their life in spite of dementia, get tips on how to help end stigma, test their own attitudes towards the disease and download other useful resources.

Clearview councillors sat through their first 2019 budget workshop on Monday afternoon. Council members are working their way through a staff proposed budget with a municipal increase of 3.2 per cent. They are tasked with tweaking the budget to suit them before presenting it at a public meeting on Feb. 11. The $46.1 million budget includes $27.9 million in the operating expenses and $18.1 million in capital spending. Although the municipal increase is starting at 3.2 per cent, Clearview treasurer Edward Henley takes into account policing, county and education taxes, which are collected by the municipality on behalf of those bodies. He estimates a net residential tax increase of 2 per cent. Based on the average home assessed at $293,334, owners would see a $63 increase in their annual tax bill for a total tax bill of $3,236: $1,652 to Clearview; $277 for policing (OPP); $828 for Simcoe County; and $479 for school boards. Henley reported on Jan. 7, approximately 75 per cent of the 3.20 per cent municipal increase is due to four major initiatives: $114,500 increase in capital funding for Parks & Rec., $88,194 in Clearview Youth Centre costs including staff, $84,000 increase to reserves, and $60,000 to start a bus route connecting

Three possibilities for the TD land to be discussed

Second public meeting Sunday, Jan. 20 The conversation on the TD lands continues with a second public meeting. Three possible scenarios will be presented by the professional planners, architects and landscape architects working with Small, the not-for-profit organization which facilitated the earlier workshop on Dec. 9. These options are based on research and public consultation done to date by Small and the TD Lands Community Consultation Committee (TLC). “Creemore residents shared so many great ideas on December 9th, and have so much enthusiasm for what can happen in their community,” says Heather Campbell of Small. “Creemore definitely doesn’t shy away from thinking big. Now it’s our turn to come back to the community with ways we can work toward implementing these big ideas in a unique, achievable way on the TD Lands. We’ll be walking through the values and goals we heard, and then presenting three high-level scenarios which reflect these values and goals.” Participants should expect to see images from other communities which have had similar opportunities, explore some celebrated ideas for vibrant community spaces, and discuss three concrete scenarios for the site. These three scenarios have been developed

needed. Small will then work with TLC to create a recommendation for 181 Mill Street and the adjacent lands for the Creemore Community Foundation. “The Creemore Community Foundation is pleased to be supporting the TLC community consultation process that will soon generate some exciting new ideas for the TD Lands, Horticultural Park and Station on the Green. We are fortunate to have an outstanding group of volunteers on this committee that are all committed to an open and transparent process. They have hired an experienced advisor and put in

place a simple but effective process that will lead to these exciting new ideas. The Foundation is looking forward to working closely with the residents of Creemore to support a longer term vision for the village,” says foundation board member Stuart Lazier. The public meeting will be at at 2 p.m. Sunday, January 20 at Station on the Green in Creemore. For those interested but unable to attend the meeting the scenarios will be available upon request by emailing sara@creemore.com or calling 705466-9906, after Jan. 20.

Area home sales down year-over-year in December by Stan Reljic Residential sales recorded through the MLS system for the Southern Georgian Bay region totaled 130 units in December 2018. This was down 8.5 per cent (12 sales) from December 2017. On an annual basis, home sales totalled 3,049 units in 2018, a decrease of 18.9 per cent from the same period in 2017. The Southern Georgian Bay region comprises two distinctive markets. Home sales in the Western Region, which includes Wasaga Beach, Clearview Township, Collingwood, The Blue Mountains, the Municipality of Meaford, and Grey Highlands, numbered 81 units in December 2018. This was down 8 per cent (seven sales) from December 2017. On an annual basis, home sales in the Western Region numbered 1,807 units in 2018, a decrease of 19.1 per cent from the same period in 2017. Meanwhile, home sales in the Eastern Region, encompassing the Towns of Midland and Penetanguishene, the Townships of Tay and Tiny, Severn, and

Georgian Bay Townships, numbered 49 units in December 2018. This was down 9.3 per cent (five sales) from December 2017. On an annual basis, home sales in the Eastern Region numbered 1,242 units in 2018, a decrease of 18.6 per cent from the same period in 2017. “Home sales for the Association’s overall geographical coverage area declined year-over-year in December, although part of that could reflect the bump that activity got in December 2017 just before the new stress test came into force and people were scrambling to get deals done,” said Stan Reljic, President of the Southern Georgian Bay Association of Realtors. “One thing that stood out in the December data was just how in sync the demand and supply trends were in both the Eastern and Western Districts. Inventories across the region remain near historic lows, which continued to lend support to prices throughout 2018 despite the drop in sales.” There were 166 new residential listings in December 2018, a 38.3 per cent increase on a year-over-year basis

from the record low in 2017. New supply in December 2018 was still historically low. Overall supply remains near record lows. Active residential listings numbered 695 units at the end of 2018. While this was an increase of 21.7 per cent from the end of 2017, it was still well below levels at that time of year going back to the mid-1990s. Months of inventory numbered 5.3 at the end of December 2018, up from the four months recorded at the end of December 2017 but below the 10-year average of 9.6 months for this time of year. The number of months of inventory is the number of months it would take to sell current inventories at the current rate of sales activity. The dollar value of all residential transactions in December 2018 was $61.6 million, edging up 1.5 per cent from this time in 2017. Sales of all property types numbered 148 units in December 2018, a decrease of 11.4 per cent from December 2017. The total value of all properties sold was $66 million, down 3.7 per cent from December 2017.

Car draw raises $22,000 for Theatre Collingwood Theatre Collingwood has announced the winner of its car raffle was Robert Ketchin. Robert and his partner Roberta McFadden were happy to receive the news of their windfall, and they delighted in taking their new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, AWD Limited for a little spin at Collingwood Toyota last week. A total of 717 tickets (of the 1,000 available) were purchased for the 2018 car raffle, which meant that after expenses $22,000 was raised for the theatre company. “We are so thankful to everyone who bought a ticket or sold a ticket and therefore made this such a successful

fundraiser for our company. As a nonprofit theatre company, we have a significant amount of money to raise each year and this helped a great deal”, said Erica Angus, Executive Director for Theatre Collingwood. Special thanks goes out to Krista Walcroft of Collingwood Toyota and Jan Trude of Collingwood Tim Hortons, and to all their staff, for being such great supporters of this fundraiser and for the many tickets they sold. The draw took place at the final Theatre Collingwood production of the year, A Very Chris-terical Christmas Cabaret, at The Gayety Theatre on Dec. 21.

Collingwood Toyota is proudly celebrating almost 30 years of service in this community and the surrounding areas. They are family owned and operated and are advocates of supporting the community they live in. Three generations of Lockharts have been providing quality customer service experiences in the automotive industry for over 70 years and they believe in staying connected with their community through continued support of many local charities and other organizations. “Collingwood Toyota has been a proud supporter of Theatre Collingwood for many years and we continue

to recognize the excellent level of productions that are presented each year. We were excited to be a part of Theatre Collingwood’s major fundraising efforts this year,” said Walcroft, part of the brother-sister team who own and operate Collingwood Toyota. Theatre Collingwood is a not-forprofit company with charitable status, and offers a broad range of professional live theatre & music productions throughout the year. The company also provides a full-service ticketing box office, theatre camps, drama training for youth, and significant volunteer opportunities.

Police continue search for Kelly Coleman In 2012, Huronia West OPP issued a media release asking for the public’s assistance in locating Kelly Coleman who was 34-years-old at the time and had not been seen or heard from since early August 2011. The investigation has continued tirelessly over many years under the supervision of Detective Inspector Dave Robinson of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch. This included a lengthy search of a rural property in Nottawa where Kelly resided when she vanished. This search also included members of the OPP Canine Units, the OPP Emergency Response Team and the use of heavy equipment. Continued efforts to locate Coleman included numerous media releases, the posting of a large billboard on Highway 26 between Wasaga Beach and Collingwood profiling details of the case as well as a $50,000 reward. In a further effort to solve Coleman’s disappearance, the OPP has issued a video on social media hoping to jog people’s memory and help bring this case to a resolution.

Although Festive RIDE is over for the season the OPP Detachments in Central Region remind everyone traffic safety continues to be the utmost priority for officers. The OPP reminds motorists to plan ahead when consuming alcohol or drugs. Use a designated driver, cab, public transit, or stay overnight. Planning ahead is critical because any amount of alcohol or drugs can impact your ability to make sound judgments.
