Roxodus cancelled

Cannabis retail opens to small municipalities

by Trina Berlo Roxodus Music Fest has been cancelled leaving ticket holders concerned about refunds.

A media release states due to heavy rains, the property at Edenvale Airport will not be ready in time to accommodate large crowds and performance stages.

Officials made an announcement via social media channels Wednesday morning, saying, “During the past couple of months, our venue at Edenvale Airport has battled tremendous rainy weather that has impacted our ability to produce the festival. It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of the Roxodus Music Festival this year.”

“Our team has worked tirelessly to find a solution in which the show can go on but unfortunately, we could not make it happen this year. Our dream of producing a ‘once in a lifetime experience’ has been put on hold as we take the much-needed time to nurture our venue into a premier landmark in Ontario.”

“We sincerely thank all of the artists, sponsors, partners, and neighbours who have supported us from the very beginning. The embrace from our community has meant the world to us and we hope to one day see our dream come to life. Information about ticket refunds will be released shortly.

Sincerely, The Roxodus Team.”

The posts prompted hundreds of comments from people not buying the excuse of weather being a factor and concerns about the money they had already spent on tickets, camping, transportation and the money they have pre-loaded on their RFID wristbands (the event was to be cashless).

One ticketholder posted, “I don’t understand this, the weather has been great as of late. I have paid almost $3,000 to obtain RV parking and three (See “Roxodus” on page 3)

A second round of cannabis licensing will include municipalities with populations under 50,000, says the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).

Applicants can participate in a pre-qualification process, if they are in municipalities that have opted in for cannabis retail. That leaves out Clearview but does include Mulmur and Collingwood.

There will be seven new stores in the east region (including Simcoe County) and 11 new stores in the west region (including Dufferin County).

It was announced on July 3 that an additional 50 cannabis retail stores will be permitted across Ontario, consisting of 42 in any municipality that has not opted-out and eight on First Nations reserves.

The AGCO will hold a lottery on August 20, and the results will be announced within 24 hours. Applicants must demonstrate they have the financial capacity to open a cannabis retail store and have secured suitable retail space that could be used for it.

To participate in this lottery, applicants must submit an expression of interest between August 7-9. All the information is posted at www.agco.ca.

Roxodus ticket holders hoping for refunds Pride flag flies again “ (Continued from page 1) VIP tickets. The rain issue may be an excuse to not refund monies.”

A local resident posted, “I live down the road… we have not had excessive amount of rain! Just say it like it is… you just weren’t prepared… better luck next time… good luck getting people to believe it will even happen if you try again.”

Roxodus was scheduled for July 10-14 and had advertised more than 25 performers including headliners Nickelback, Lynard Skynyrd, Kid Rock and Aerosmith.

In response to our request for an interview with organizers, media spokesperson Damien Nelson said, “Roxodus representatives are not available for interviews. We will provide information about refunds as soon as it is available.”

Clearview Mayor Doug Measures said a lot of time and energy, and investment on behalf of organizers, has gone into the planning of Roxodus and the cancellation is disappointing.

“Obviously there was an awful lot of work that council and staff put forward to get organizers to meet all of the requirements of a massive special event such as this and they did meet all of the requirements that council felt was necessary,” he said.

A special council meeting was

“The agreement is still in place so the municipality will be protected as far as municipal financial loss which includes our legal fees…”

-Mayor Doug Measures

held on June 19, when council passed a special event agreement and a temporary use zoning, giving organizers the go-ahead. Council gave approval despite a recommendation from consulting planner Darren Vella that the decision be deferred until all outstanding reports are provided. His report noted, about 18 hectares of woodland was cleared, and as much as 10 hectares of wetland has been cleared, filled and/or drained without proper permits.

“The agreement is still in place so the municipality will be protected as far as municipal financial loss which includes our legal fees…” said Measures, “but it’s certainly disappointing for the volunteers, the community organizations that were going to be part of this event and certainly the ticket holders.”

He said he intends to make an attempt to speak to promoters at MF

Live to encourage refunds.

He said he doesn’t regret the approval, but it’s really disappointing that it’s come to this, but the decisions were made with the right information at the time.

Measures has confirmed the MTO permits were received and approvals were in place for traffic, policing, emergency response and fire.

He believes that it’s possible the ground at the site is indeed too wet to properly support the large-scale staging that is needed.

“I have not been made aware of any other reason, other than they believe the site was not ready to host the event,” said Measures.

As for next year, organizers will have to come back to council with another event plan if they want to go ahead.

Sunnidale councillor Connie Leishman has been outspoken about how difficult the planning process has been and the level of opposition from people living in the Edenvale area.

“I’m disappointed in the sense that they have done a lot of work and I know they’ve spent a lot of money and I would have liked to have seen a successful event happen,” she said Wednesday. “My neighbours are quite happy and I am probably going to sleep really well tonight.”

Clearview council will once again raise the rainbow flag at the emergency hub in recognition of Pride.

Fierté Simcoe Pride president Brandon Rhèal Amyot made the request by letter and was present at the June 24 meeting to speak to it. He said raising a pride flag, a symbol of hope, love and resilience, does make a difference.

In 2017, he said, was the first time that all communities in the County of Simcoe supported Pride, either by proclamation or by raising a flag.

The theme of the 8th annual festival is “Our History, Our Future” acknowledging 50 years since the Stonewall Riots, the beginning of the modern Pride movement, as well as other global and local histories, and provides the opportunity to begin building a vision for the future.

“I have seen the difference a Pride flag makes. I hope you will vote in favour,” said Rhèal Amyot.

There was no discussion on the motion and only two council members voted in opposition, Robert Walker and Barry Burton.

The flag will be hoisted at the emergency hub located at 6993 Highway 26 at 4 p.m. on August 1.

THE WAY WE WERE

What is a community foundation?

Creemore Community Foundation. These three words have been tossed around a lot lately as our community grapples with the future of the TD Bank lands. But I think it may be time to take a deep breath and consider what those words actually mean. What is a community foundation? And how will this one benefit Creemore now and in the future?

Last year when Stuart Lazier and I learned that the TD Bank was willing to donate their Creemore property to the village, we decided to create the CCF in order to make the most of this generous offer. In doing so we immediately realized that although right now the TD land development is the central focus of the CCF, its mandate could be much broader and could be used to fund future projects for the ongoing benefit of the village.

A foundation is simply a charitable trust set up to receive and hold donations or gifts such as the TD lands. In turn, it can make grants or donations to other organizations or individuals. Crucially, a foundation has the ability to issue tax receipts to individuals making their donations to the Foundation tax deductible.

Community foundations like ours are common; there are about 170 in Canada including some very large ones in major cities. These foundations can also receive bequests in the wills of people who want to make a legacy gift to the community.

The process of creating a foundation is a lengthy one requiring us to explain the mission of the foundation, its structure and governance. The Canada Revenue Agency rules surrounding public foundations are also very strict; we are required to issue annual financial statements to the government and to donors. As well the Foundation will produce an annual report with audited financial statements that we will make widely available.

To get things rolling Stuart Lazier and I made initial donations to the CCF. That money has been used to pay the consultants who advised us and who organized and ran the two public meetings held last winter, as well as paying the costs of running those meetings. That was only the beginning. We estimate the design and construction costs of the proposed Creemore Village Green will be in the $700,000 range. As well we intend to create a pool of $1.2 million of capital within the Foundation. The money will be invested and the income used to pay ongoing programming and maintenance expenses.

Where will all this money come from? Our plan is to conduct a major fundraising effort later this year with a goal of raising $2 million. We have had discussions with potential donors and we hope there will be broad financial support from within the community. Right now the fundraising is being undertaken by CCF board of directors Stuart Lazier, Brent Preston and myself. Later on we may add other members to the board.

We believe that after the TD lands project is completed the Creemore Community Foundation will continue to provide for the civic improvement of our village for years to come. We have already heard innovative ideas for future projects and we are committed to preserving and enhancing this village we all love so much.

About ticks and Lyme Disease

by Dr Joann (Jody) Bowle-Evans Tick bites are a problem especially if they are not seen and there is no Bull’s Eye rash because the microbes (bugs) transmitted with a tick bite can, like the syphilitic spirochete, cause early problems, local problems and then late chronic diseases that include Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, a number of autoimmune diseases (when the body attacks itself), a number of serious neurological disorders including M.S. (multiple sclerosis), a form of dementia, depression and anxiety to mention a few problems. Recently there has been a publication by Dr. Allan MacDonald, a highly regarded pathologist, in which Borrelia was found in 5 patients who had died of glioblastoma multiforme, a malignant brain tumor; another study he did in which he found nematodes (parasites) loaded with Borrelia in the brains on autopsy of patients who had died form M.S. (multiple Sclerosis) + previously he found in seven out of ten brain specimens tested positive for the specific DNA of Borrelia. I call this chronic state which is caused by Borrelia (known as Lyme disease) and co-infections (esp. problematic being Babesia and Bartonella) MSIDS (multiple system infectious disease syndrome) a term coined by Dr Richard Horowitz in his book Why Can I not Get Better, because it can infect many organs and tissues in the body such as the gut, tendons and joints, the skin, nerve tissue, and the brain. This is why early intervention is key to prevent long term disability. It is also known to be implicated in autism and like syphilis is transmitted not only by ticks but also through the placenta.

So what to do if you have a tick bite?

Take a picture of it before you remove it.

The Creemore Echo is independently owned and operated.

Then use fine tweezers or a tick removal kit to slowly remove it by pulling up steadily and slowly until it releases its’ hold on you so that you avoid leaving the head behind in the wound. Do not squeeze the body to get it out or use any chemicals on the insect. Clean the wound.

Place the tick in a double zip lock plastic bag. Public Health stated they needed the tick in a sterile plastic container (such as used for midstream urines) and take it to your family doctor to have him or her sign the form that is needed to take it into the Public Health which in Collingwood is on 280 Pretty River Parkway.

I think the sterile container is overkill personally. Public Health only tests for Borrelia. Google Surveillance Form for Tick Identification to obtain the form. Please note ticks will stay alive for months tolerating very adverse conditions – you may consider putting it into the freezer until you have time to take it into your family doctor.

Or Google www.geneticks.ca where they test for other microbes then Borrelia in particular Bartonella species, Babesia microti, Babesia duncani, and Anaplasma Phagocytophilum which I think is even more useful.

Transmission of an infection goes from seven per cent if under 24 hours to 50 per cent if 60 hours post bite. Treatment can consist of antibiotics or antimicrobial herbals. Not all ticks carry microbes.

See your family doctor or a Lyme literate naturopath or MD to decide on possible treatment and for followup. Symptoms can occur within a few days to weeks or decades later.

THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, July 5, 2019 •

Check clothes, children and animals often for ticks (Continued from previous page) Early symptoms are like a “summer flu” and consist of fever, chills, malaise, headache, fatigue, stiff neck, arthralgias, myalgias, paresthesia, sore throat.

Thirty to 50 per cent of patients will have no rash. Most patients are unaware of a tick bite.

A blood test for antibodies is not useful immediately after a bite – if it is done and it is positive this would reflect previous exposure.

Treatment with Doxycycline for tick bites recommended by ILADS is Doxycycline 100 mg 2 x a day for 21 days along with probiotics and sometimes using a higher dose or for longer depending on the length of time it is attached. Prophylaxis only reduces risk by 50 per cent so follow up is important. It is also possible to treat with herbal anti-microbials.

The highest risk is children age 4-5 years old and up to age 14. Children under nine are treated with Amoxil.

Careful follow up with your Lyme literate physician or naturopath is important if you have any symptoms that would require assessment and retreatment of failures.

To prevent tick bites, wear pants and long sleeved shirts if you go off a path or are working in long grass. Tuck your pants into your socks. Avoid long grasses and bushes. Ticks do not fly or

jump but attach to you as you brush the area they are attached to Wear light coloured clothes so it is easier to see the ticks Use an insect repellent on your clothes and to exposed skin areas such as your wrists, ankles and neck – deet works but is toxic especially for children – so best to use PiActive where the insect repellent is Icaridin. PiActive is available in Glen Huron. Or one with Picaridin which is the repellent of first choice by the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Canadian Advisory Committee on Tropical Medicine and Travel. Essential oils of eucalyptus and lemongrass can be used to deter tick attachment.

Check your clothes for ticks often and ditto for your children and your animals. You can put your clothes into a hot dryer. It is helpful to do a tick check after an outdoor activity and consider a shower – having someone check your back. Also check those nether parts i.e. under the arms in and in the groins, around the ears, in the navel, check the hair and back of your neck.

Dr. Joann (Jody) Bowle-Evans, BA, MD, CFPC, MDPAC(C), is a Family physician specialized in the practice of Integrative Psychotherapy and consultation regarding chronic complex diseases.

She has organized many ladies’ teams over the years and has also been a supporter by supplying prize donations for the teams. Anne has helped to advance Curling among the youth in the area.

Team Award: Stayner Motormen 1957- Ontario Baseball Association Intermediate ‘A’ Champions.

The Stayner Sun commenting on the team states: “It took six months to do it, but it was a job well done. Setting their sights on a championship early last May, The Stayner “Motormen” wound up on top of the heap, on last Saturday in October… We don’t know whether this is the first provincial championship won by a sports team wearing Stayner uniforms… But it is a unique achievement to have a town of 1,500 field a championship team in the 15,000 grouping.

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU! To All Our Amazing Friends in and around Creemore Elinor and I are so overwhelmed with the incredible gift we recently received to help pay for her new treatments.

All your kind words and loving support shown to us over these past many months makes us realize how truly special the community is and how fortunate we are to call this home and you our friends. We don’t know how we can possibly thank you, but please know that we are so very, very grateful. You have lifted our spirits and made us stronger. We plan to fight our best fight against this thing called cancer that we (and so many others) have to battle. The new therapy has given us renewed hope and with all your incredible support, we know we will make it through!

Our love and gratitude cannot be adequately expressed in words, but thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts.

Love Michel and Elinor Masselin
