Clearview man charged in kidnapping

Staff photo: Trina Berlo

Don McNulty (left) of R. J. Burnside and Associates and Michael Wynia of Skelton Brumwell and Associates take comments and questions from the public assembled at the Clearview Administration Centre Wednesday evening for a public information session about a Niagara Escarpment Plan amendment application to allow for the reconstruction of the 26/27 Sideroad.

Public has its say on 26/27 SR project by Trina Berlo Almost two hours into a meeting about proposed upgrades to the 26/27 Sideroad, some people were urging others to accept that County Road 91 would close and that upgrades to the side road were inevitable. Clearview council chambers were overflowing Wednesday with concerned citizens who, for the first time, were invited to an information session, presentation and open mic about the reconstruction of the 26/27 Sideroad. Although not part of an application to amend the Niagara Escarpment Plan (NEP) to allow for the reconstruction, the closure of County Road 91 was at the heart of the matter. Some in attendance seemed tired of the lengthy process that resulted in a Road Settlement after a tribunal was held for the Duntroon quarry expansion, which has been on the books for more than a decade.

“99.9 per cent of us in this room are hoping for a miracle that 91 would stay open,” said Mike Selby, adding that there is a general sense of betrayal because of the way the deal was done and a lack of trust that the road reconstruction would be done right. “But let’s put this to rest and move on,” he said. Walker Aggregates started hauling on the former County Road 91 from the expanded quarry and is now shipping down the improved road, which has been downloaded to the township. It was thought the road closure wouldn’t happen until the upgrades to 26/27 Sideroad and Concession 10 are complete but then the Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC) denied Clearview a development permit to reconstruct 26/27 Sideroad from the 10th Concession to Grey Road 31. Wednesday’s public meeting was about a separate process – an application to amend the NEP to allow for other road

works after wetlands were identified in the area. NEC senior strategic advisor Nancy Mott said she doesn’t know how long the process would take saying in this “age of constraint” the NEC is meeting less frequently. Consultant Michael Wynia, of Skelton Brumwell and Associates, spoke to the details of the NEP amendment. Clearview is seeking permission to bring the 26/27 Sideroad, which is partially a seasonal road, up to municipal standard by widening, reinforcing and paving the road. It and Concession 10 would become an alternate route, when and if a portion of County Road 91 is stopped up and transferred to Walker Aggregates. Wynia explained that the whole plan was initiated by the County of Simcoe who wanted to download the road when it became apparent how many upgrades would be necessary to accommodate (See “Much” on page 3)

Investigators with the York Regional Police Major Crimes Bureau have arrested and charged a Clearview man in the March 23 armed kidnapping of a 22-year-old Markham man. Nathan Plater, 22, is charged with kidnapping, forcible confinement, and possession of a prohibited firearm. On April 25, investigators executed a search warrant at a Clearview residence and made the arrest. Investigators say they will not be releasing further details of his involvement at this time. On Saturday, March 23, shortly before 6 p.m., the victim and his friend were in an underground parking garage at a condominium building located at 15 Water Walk Drive, which is in the area of Highway 7 and Birchmount Road. Three men, one of whom was armed with a conductive energy weapon, exited a van and grabbed the victim. The victim was resisting and was shocked by the suspects. The suspects forced the victim into the van and fled. On March 26, shortly before 9 p.m., the victim was located after he asked for help at a residence on Doe Lake Road in the Town of Gravenhurst. He was suffering from minor injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment. A b d u l l a h i A d a n a n d Hashim Abdullahi, 33, of Brampton, have also been detained in relation to the case. The investigation is ongoing. York Regional Police continue to dedicate significant resources to find additional suspects, as they are still at large and are considered armed and dangerous. Police strongly recommend that the suspects involved in this kidnapping seek legal counsel and turn themselves in. Anyone with information is asked to contact York Regional Police Major Crimes Bureau immediately at 1-866876-5423, ext. 7865. If you spot the suspects do not approach them, call 9-1-1 immediately. A Canada-wide arrest warrant remains in effect for 28-year-old Muzamil Addow, of Toronto.

(Continued from page 1) the aggregate. So the process of transferring the road to Walker, who has already done the necessary improvements, began. There has been a lot of opposition to the proposed closure of County Road 91, at least half of those filling council chambers Wednesday were Grey-Highlands residents (as demonstrated by a show of hands at the request of CAO Steve Sage). There were also a number of County Road 91 residents who said they can’t wait for the quarry portion of their road to be closed because the traffic is a big concern. They say the number of regular vehicles, mixed with gravel trucks, makes for a very dangerous situation. Wynia said 26/27 Sideroad has become a liability for the township and it must either be upgraded or closed permanently – which is not an option because people use it to access their properties. Others just weren’t buying claims that upgrading 26/27 Sideroad would be safer for those already using the road and would improve fish habitat in the stream at the base of the road. One woman who rose to comment said the NEP amendment was not in the public interest. “This is a decision based on business. This is about aggregate,” she said. “You are not going to improve anything by paving it over and that’s what you are going to do.” In response to Dick Corner’s question as to who is going to pay for all this? Sage said of the $10.5 million in transfer funds from Walker Aggregates and the County, $6 million was spent on improving 91, including a $2 million bridge. Assuming the rest of the work can be done for $4.5 million, there is still $3.5 million left from the development agreement but Gas Tax revenue and taxpayer dollars will have to make up the shortfall. All of the documents relating to the NEP amendment can be viewed at the Niagara Escarpment Commission office in Thornbury. Comments are being accepted until the end of May.

OPINION EDITORIAL Thanks for ongoing support

THE WAY WE WERE

As The Creemore Echo enters into its annual subscription drive, we wish to express our continuing gratitude to our dedicated readers and advertisers. It is often pointed out to us that this community is stronger because of its newspaper. We don’t mind tooting our own horn here because it is truly a team effort between the staff, residents, businesses and visitors. When people appear in the pages of The Echo, they are often amazed at the level of feedback they get from readers. It’s a form of local celebrity that takes people by surprise. We call it Echo Fame. It’s a goofy way of illustrating that people are paying attention to what is happening in the community, via the newspaper. At a time when other newspapers are faltering under pressure from online media, The Echo has stood its ground, offering something readers can’t get anywhere else, a carefully curated selection of news and information that is relevant to the community. We count on you to ensure that relevance remains true. We strive to make The Creemore Echo as accessible as possible by sending it out in the mail to homes in Creemore and parts of Clearview and Mulmur townships but we also encourage people to take up volunteer subscriptions as a show of support and a way of making sure The Echo is around for the foreseeable future. In addition to our annual subscription for the low price of $52 per year, which includes an early bird electronic version every Thursday evening, we are also looking for boosters, champions and new this year, patrons. A booster, with a contribution of $75 per year, is a keen promoter of community and the newspaper, someone who wants to give a little extra boost of encouragement. A champion, with a contribution of $100 or more, is someone who champions our mission to share the community’s stories, keep watch over its politicians and celebrate its accomplishments. A patron, with a contribution of $200 or more, is someone who recognizes the profound impact of The Echo. We will be at the Creemore Farmers’ Market three consecutive Saturdays beginning May 18 to visit and talk up the newspaper so come say hello. As the campaign progresses, boosters, champions and patrons will see their names in the newspaper as a big thanks for the support.

TD building too valuable

Editor: I agree with Deputy Mayor Barry Burton’s comments in last week’s Echo. The old TD building is too valuable to be demolished for green space. Creemore has sufficient green space with several parks and attractions in the village. The community would benefit if the building was used to attract another bank or a business to our already beautiful downtown. Glen Wagner, Creemore.

THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, May 10, 2019 •

Foundation seeks landscape architect for "village green" by Judi Parker The Village Green Build Team, a committee of the Creemore Community Foundation, met for the first time on May 3 to begin Phase 2 of the redevelopment of the former TD Bank property and the adjacent municipal lands currently occupied by the Horticultural Gardens and the Station on the Green. The Build Team agreed to use the term Creemore Village Green as the working name during this phase of the project. Public support for an active green space resulted in the preparation of the Village Green and TD Lands Design Brief and report by small, a public consultation firm. The design brief includes community consultation input from the TD Lands Community Consultation Committee (TLC) and additional information received from various stakeholder groups in Creemore. The brief will soon be available to the public on the Clearview Township website at www. clearview.ca. The Foundation issued a requestfor-proposal (RFP) to five landscape architectural firms on May 1. According to Inese Bite, the chair and spokesperson for the Build Team,

Creemore Village Green update all firms invited to submit an RFP “have experience creating landmark, immersive, four-season, multipurpose, and multigenerational public spaces.” Three of these firms are based in Toronto, one in Collingwood, and one in Vancouver (with a Toronto office). All will respond to the Foundation by May 15. The Design Brief will inform their work and response to the RFP. The Build Team will determine selection criteria, based on the Design Brief, to assess each firm’s response. The goal will be to find the firm best able to incorporate the community vision. Experience with creating landmark designs that provide connections to other village attractions, showcase what is unique in the community, promote activity, attract a wider range of visitors for experiences that generate multiple visits and longer stays, support community spirit and an active retail environment is key. T h e B u i l d Te a m e x p e c t s to recommend one landscape architectural firm to the Foundation by June 1; preliminary designs are expected in July. A stakeholder comment period will follow with

a community presentation for final input on the Village Green design in late summer. The Foundation’s goal is to have various agreements in place as well as Clearview Township Council approval by the end of July. The Foundation has committed to source and use all local contractors, employees, and suppliers to build a sustainable Village Green. Stuart Lazier, spokesman for the Foundation, stated, “the purpose of the Foundation is to enhance the ambience, heritage and natural beauty of our village. We believe that building upon Creemore’s considerable charm and history will make the village more appealing to both residents and visitors while creating a stronger retail environment and a healthier

community. We expect that our carefully programmed activities will have a catalytic and beneficial effect on the well-being and vibrancy of the entire Clearview community. The public viewed a Village Green, not only as a unique and beautiful space, but also a place for new activities like small concerts, gatherings, picnics or just relaxing in a lovely setting thereby supporting our commercial businesses.” For further information, please contact Sass Dempsey at sass. dempsey@gmail.com or 705-8887729.

Judi Parker is president of Creemore Horticultural Society. She was the organization's representative on the TD Lands Consultation Committee and remains its representative on the build team.

Creemore celebrates its vintage vibe by Trina Berlo This year’s Creemore Vintage Fest on Saturday, May 25, will have even more treasurers for those who appreciate both age and beauty. The shopping event highlights and enhances the village’s vintage vibe. Organizers Laurie Severn of Heirloom 142, Susan Eastwood of Eastwood Vintage and Travis Bell of Miller Island Company have been coordinating with local stores and outside vendors to create a destination worthy event. Vendors will be set up along Caroline Street West and Elizabeth Street East and shop goods will be spilling out onto the street. There will be a large selection of vintage clothing and accessories, salvage, garden items, macramé, linens, vinyl, kitchenware, and décor, from rustic to Bohemian and mid century modern, plus displays of collectibles. Shoppers will get a free tote bag with every purchase at stores and free buttons, too. Creemore Vintage Fest runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Follow @creemorevintagefest on social media. People are encouraged to wear their vintage clothing and stroll the streets checking out the vintage cars and glampers on display as they make their way over to the Creemore Farmers’ Market and the Creemore Log Cabin, where there will be a display of community scrapbooks.

providing a thorough record of local history. The Women’s Institute, churches, and the Creemore Skating Club will provide scrapbooks, along with a number from Helen Blackburn’s collection. “We are inviting anyone in our area who has a family scrapbook, of clippings and photos of that sort of thing, to bring them along and we’ll have them on display so people can look at them and talk about them and reflect on memories of Creemore,” said Chris Raible. “It should be a fun thing.” Everyone is welcome to take a look and share during regular cabin hours from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Anyone interested in contributing scrapbooks is asked to call the Raibles at 705-466-2261 or e-mail chrisraible1@gmail.com. That same day there will be hundreds of cyclists

in town for Creemore Springs Brewery’s Turas Mor. Meaning Great Journey in Gaelic, Turas Mor encourages (but does not require) riders to wear their old gear, tune up their vintage bikes and take part in a tour inspired by the vintage rides of Europe. There are three routes ranging in length and difficulty with stops along the way. There is a 20-km leisure ride, a new 40-km challenger ride and the 60-km classic route, which is the most popular and takes riders through the hills of Clearview and Mulmur. The event has taken place in rain, sleet and grueling heat. There will be much fanfare for the start of the 60km at 10 a.m. Catch Tim Armour’s poem before he pipes them off the starting line, led by a vintage bike from Mariposa Bicycles.

lost in this incident. OPP want to reiterate that people should always look into, and confirm, any claims being made over the phone about family members being in trouble and needing money sent. Remember,

Never hesitate to call. We’ll treat you like family too.

you can stop phone fraud - just hang up. Take some time and educate yourself of the latest scams and avoid becoming a victim by visiting the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) website at www.antifraudcentre.ca. Huronia West OPP would like to remind the public to use extra caution when dealing with door-to-door sales scams. The canvassers will, at times, use high pressure tactics and can be aggressive in nature, so much so that consumers may find themselves purchasing a product or signing up for a service which they do not need or want. Common door-to-door scams include solicitation for a charitable donation, investment opportunities or sale or maintenance of water heaters, furnaces or air conditioner units. Protect yourself by: Never sharing any personal information, copies of any bills or financial statements; Researching before you invest. Don’t sign anything and always read the fine print; Asking for identification; and don’t be pressured by a limited time offer. For more information and crime prevention tips please www.opp.ca or The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre website. Another great resource is www.ontario.ca as well as www. consumerhandbook.ca which has information on the Consumer Protection Act.
