Locals suffer Roxodus fallout

Police continue to receive AMBER alert complaints

by Trina Berlo On the day Roxodus was to begin, Michele Frustaci is left dealing with the fallout of the event’s cancellation.

He and wife Fiona, of MMEA Italian catering in Stayner, were prepared to serve the masses attending the rock concert in Edenvale from July 10-14.

They took out a $20,000 loan to pay fees, buy supplies and hire additional staff. Michele says he is left with thousands of chicken and veal cutlets, handmade meatballs, cans of tomato sauce, boxes of pasta, not to mention the extra equipment purchased to store all of the food. Despite the investment, Michele said what bothers him the most is that event organizers have disrespected his community.

Michele said Roxodus officials sent an e-mail last year soliciting interest from local vendors. He said he applied to be a vendor because he knew it would be a big event, something exciting for Clearview and he wanted to be involved, plus there was a chance to make money and reach a large number of customers. Fiona said there was a lot of paperwork involved and approvals needed. Then, they received an e-mail asking for a $700 for water access followed by a request for $2,000 for the booth, and that payments were to be made by e-transfer only. Michele said he had been under the impression that local vendors wouldn’t be charged fees. In fact, promoter Mike Dunphy said during a March 4 council meeting that local suppliers would be favoured and local vendors will not be charged for a booth. But it was explained to Michele that because he was a food (See “Food” on page 3)

Public meetings set for Village Green designs The Creemore Community Foundation has announced dates for two public meetings to review designs created by PFS Studio for the Creemore Village Green.

The first session will be Saturday, August 10 starting at 4 p.m. The second will be Sunday, Sept. 22 starting at 2 p.m. Both will be held at Station on the Green.

In the first meeting, Jennifer Nagai, Principal and Director of PFS Studio and the Principal in Charge on the

The Ontario Amber Alert program continues to be an instrumental tool in assisting both the public and police with locating an abducted child who may be in danger.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind the public that calling 911 or any emergency service communication centre is not an appropriate venue to complain about Amber Alerts.

The decision to utilize the Ontario Amber Alert is based on established criteria, and is not taken lightly. In 2019, there have been five Amber Alerts activated. As a direct result of these alerts, four assisted in the safe return of the child/children and one with the apprehension of a suspect. The OPP recognizes the inconvenience the Alert may have caused, but will not apologize for using all of the tools available to help locate a child.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) mandated the broadcasting industry to distribute emergency alert messages, which includes Amber Alerts. As of April 2018, compatible wireless networks (wireless public alerting) were included in this mandate. The only option to not receive these alerts to a mobile device is to have your device turned off. However, if your device is turned off you will be unable to receive any emergency alert that may contain information of imminent danger in your area.

Pride Pop Up Fierté Simcoe Pride is hosting three Pop Up activities in Clearview on August 1.

In addition to the Pride Flag Raising at the emergency hub on Highway 26 at 4 p.m. there will be a film screening at town hall at 4:30 p.m. and activities at the Fierté Simcoe Pride booth at Music, Market and Park It, including rainbow face painting and kids’ story time, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The film selection has yet to be announced.

The site of the cancelled Roxodus concert sits idle. The event was to take place this weekend.

Food vendor invests thousands in supplies for Roxodus (Continued from page 1) vendor he would have to pay. He agreed, and sent the money. Michele said he was promised prominent placement amongst vendors and that he was to be ready to serve food beginning July 10, when the masses would arrive to set up for camping, and have food available all day until 1 or 2 a.m. for the duration of the festival.

Michele, an experienced caterer, purchased food accordingly. He purchased 4,000 veal cutlets and 4,000 chicken cutlets to make veal and chicken parmigiana sandwiches. Two weeks ago, he began preparing, hiring extra help.

Last Wednesday, July 3, Michele said he was on his way to pick up another 4,000 cutlets when he heard on the radio that the event had been cancelled.

“No one had the kindness to e-mail us and say stop what you are doing,” he said.

Michele said he had no choice but to fulfill the order. He spoke to people at the Wasaga Beach market, where he is a vendor, and many people were upset.

One woman was crying because her son had come all the way from British Columbia and was left with nowhere to camp.

“If he doesn’t have mercy for 30,000 people, why would we have mercy for him?,” said Michele.

He said he is most angry that organizers have made a fool of the community. Clearview could have come out looking fantastic, if the event had gone off without issue, he said.

“We make it with our heart, not with our pocket,” said Michele.

Later on July 3, the Frustacis received notification from Roxodus, the same message that was posted on their website about weather being the reason for the cancellation.

Many other businesses have also taken a financial hit from the

event’s cancellation but it looks like ticketholders will see a refund. The ticket vendor Eventbrite has said all funds for the reimbursements are coming from them.

“All Roxodus ticket holders are being made whole,” officials told The Echo.

“After multiple attempts to communicate and secure funds back from the abruptly-cancelled Roxodus festival in Ontario, Canada, the organizers have provided no indication they will refund ticket holders. We believe attendees deserve to get their money back now,” tweeted Eventbrite Help on July 6. “We have set up an Eventbrite-funded Fan Relief Program to make all ticket holders whole as we continue to aggressively pursue the return of funds from Roxodus. We are transferring funds to ticket holders immediately and they will see it in their account within seven business days.”

Michele said he has reported

Michele Frustaci everything to the police. As for the food, there is some talk of finding a way to help MMEA move some of its extra fare. He is at the Stayner Music, Market and Park It.

OPINION COLUMN Loving versus enabling

by Liz van Ryn When we care for someone, whether it be our spouse, our child, a friend, or an aging parent, we try to take into account their limitations, their preferences, and maybe even their quirks. This is part of being a loving human being. This sentiment extends to caring for and living with people whose behaviour is somewhat selfdestructive: the child with an eating disorder, the spouse who works too much, the parent with an addiction issue, or the teenager who spends way too much time “chilling” with a video game.

But what is enabling and when does an act of loving kindness cross the line? One definition of enabling is when you take more responsibility for the problem than the person who has the problem does. This is a loving act when that person is a child or otherwise incapable of taking care of themselves. However, a necessary part of growing up is learning to solve one’s own problems.

And so loving would cross the line into enabling when we stop holding the other person capable of solving their own problems, and rob them of the opportunity to fully experience the consequences of their problem avoidance or poor decisions.

Why do loving people enable? The answer might be because we love way too much. But the more likely and difficult answer is that we don’t want to create discomfort for the other person, and – here it comes – for ourselves.

Yikes! I am sure we all think that our acts of caring are selfless, but the sad truth is that we have a stake in it too. A loving/enabling act also has the consequences of keeping the peace with an addicted spouse, preventing a hole in the wall with a teenager who can’t hear the word no, turning a blind eye to things that are unpleasant to see, and alleviating our feelings of guilt or fear.

It turns out that loving is actually more work than one might think. Scott Peck, author of The Road Less Travelled defines love as, “the will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own, or another’s spiritual growth.” This means that it is a totally loving act to say no to a teenager and suffer your guilt and their temper tantrum. It is a totally loving act to let a loved one experience the unpleasant consequences of their choices.

Because doing so will “enable” their growth.

When you are about to engage in an act of loving kindness stop and think: what is my motive? If your motive is to alleviate your own guilt or fear, or to make life easier for your son or daughter, and consequently more comfortable for you too – you might be enabling their dependency. If your motive is to keep the peace, avoid an emotional outburst, avoid being disliked by the person in question – you might be enabling their narcissism. When you enable someone you become part of the system that allows them to maintain their own little garden of narcissism. It’s their garden – you can provide the water and fertilizer for it, or not! Remember that it is also a loving act to ask them to grow a garden of independence, accountability, and courage instead.

Lyme disease journey more than difficult

Editor: I read Dr. Jody Bowle-Evans’ article in The Echo this week with a sense of relief.

My partner, Don Miller, had been seriously ill since October of 2018 (mildly ill since May of 2018) with undiagnosed symptoms that perplexed us and the various doctors we visited who ran scads of tests.

We had heard of Lyme Disease, and Don received the Canadian test for this in November and again this June, receiving negative results (a non-diagnosis) both times.

After every other disease/condition had been ruled out, we met with a Naturopath in Richmond Hill and determined to pay for blood tests sent to Germany.

The result: Lyme.

The Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria and some additional co-infections – which make the disease hard to pinpoint because it can represent differently depending on the bacteria/virus mix received in a tick bite – were indeed present.

Thankfully, with treatment, improvements are

Addition In last week’s article about ticks and Lyme Disease, I wrote, “Recently there has been a publication by Dr. Allan MacDonald, a highly regarded pathologist, in which Borrelia was found in five patients who had died of glioblastoma multiforme, a malignant brain tumor.

Another study he did found nematodes (parasites) loaded with Borrelia in the brains of patients who had died from Multiple Sclerosis). Previously, he found seven out of 10 brain specimens tested positive for the specific DNA of Borrelia…”

beginning to emerge.

But I think I can speak for both of us when I say this journey was more than difficult.

We wish there was a vaccine for tick bites to protect people from all the potential health complications an infected tick can deliver.

We wish testing in Canada was sophisticated enough to identify the bacteria, rather than seek elusive antibodies.

And articles like “About Ticks and Lyme Disease” submitted by Dr Bowles-Evans can alert people to be wary - and concerned - as ticks travel on mice, or birds, into new habitat. A useful book for us was Lyme: The First Epidemic of Climate Change, by Mary Beth Pfeiffer, which offers an engaging overview of the current global situation.

Thanks very much, Dr. Jody Bowles-Evans, for sharing this information.

Laura Wark, Creemore.

I ought to have added in seven out of 10 brain specimens that were taken from the Harvard School brain bank taken from brains of people who had died of Alzheimer’s dementia tested positive for the specific DNA of Borrelia. This is my error of omission. A short You Tube video “Borrelia spirochaetes Detected in autopsy Alzheimer Brain by Dr. Alan MacDonald” says it all. Like the Syphilis spirochete, the Borrelia spirochete causes some types of dementia in at least 70 (See “Global” on page 5)

Global warming factor in proliferation (Continued from page 4) per cent of the 10 specimens he tested.

His work has been recently confirmed

by Dr. Herbert B. MacDonald and his colleagues at Drexel University, Philadelphia.

This is one of the reasons I have been so passionate about treating Lyme.

I am retiring at the end of this year and hope that others will pick up this work, which very few doctors seem to be keen on despite an enormous need.

This microbe can infect the brain, the heart, the joints, tendons and muscles, the eyes many years after the original infection was acquired. Undetected often because there is no bite detected and no rash. Once one’s immune system is down for any number of reasons it can cause a lot of trouble.

Why is it such a problem since Borrelia spirochete has been around for a very long time as witnessed by the autopsy of the Iceman who landed in a crevice in the Austrian Mountains killed by an arrow 5,300 years ago? He had Lyme disease. I think environmental pollution has a lot to do with this as the pollutants have messed up the ability of the ‘biotoxins’ produced by these bacteria which live in cells to get out of the cells and into the blood and excreted safely via the bowel. The ‘biotoxins’ are produced by the bacteria as they eat, play and propagate. And then there is global warming and so they have moved north into Ontario... and there are lots here.

Elmvale outshines Clearview in wake of Roxodus Editor I’m always impressed and enthused by innovative thinkers and a good example is what has just happened after the cancelling of Roxodus. The media has been promoting the fact that the market at Elmvale has offered all of the vendors impacted by the Roxodus cancellation free space at their market!

The “free” press the community of Elmvale is getting as a place that cares about all sides of this “mess” is amazing and far exceeds what could have been accomplished by purchasing that level of advertising.

Kudos to whomever came up with that offer and put Elmvale and Springwater where Clearview might have been if Roxodus has not failed!

devoted to Tourism was performing to the expectations of taxpayers, an offer like this this could have been a great opportunity for Clearview to be front and centre in supporting those involved in this failed venture that would have taken place in Clearview.

Clearview has at least three farmers markets (Creemore, Stayner and New Lowell) that could have initiated the same kind of offer and possibly have increased their product base with some new vendors if the offer was a success.

It’s time that council started looking at exactly what the people hired to improve tourism are doing for this community, maybe they should search out the person from Elmvale generating their offer for a job in Clearview.

In another example of innovative

thinking at least one Clearview B&B operator who had a number of spaces booked by Roxodus patrons has already refunded their money (before even being asked). This unprompted action shows private sector concern for those who had chosen to support Clearview through a visit to Roxodus. The result of that action was thanks from the affected Roxodus patrons who were amazed that they did not even have to ask the “innkeeper” for a refund.

Perhaps more action from the mayor, council and the Clearview tourism staff might be in order before everyone in the surrounding municipalities “outshines” Clearview as the place to visit in Central Ontario.

Students at Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School followed with enthusiasm this year’s Bluebird Project by Kyle Regeling of Not So Hollow Farm. Regeling has been making weekly videos to document the nesting habits of Bluebirds and other species that take up residence in one of the bluebird nesting boxes set up around the farm. He made a surprise visit to participating students one morning taking questions for more than an hour. To add to the fun, Ms. Floyd’s class had guessed which of the nest boxes being monitored would be the first to have eggs. Mrs. DonerDay’s nest box was the only other box, out of 11, that ended up with bluebird eggs.

Lavender farm, a Greasley family venture

by Trina Berlo A maturing crop of lavender is giving new meaning to the Purple Hills of Creemore. It is being grown by the Greasley family on their 6/7 Sideroad farm, Purple Hill Lavender Farm, which is open to the public during peak bloom.

There is a short window during which the 9,000 lavender plants on three acres are in full bloom, before it is harvested for drying and extracting oil.

This week, honey bees were busily working while the blooms last, taking the nectar back to the nearby hive for their first batch of lavender honey.

Retired lawyer Brian Greasley has lived on the 40-acre property for 30 years and said he never thought he would one day become a lavender farmer.

It was his youngest daughter Emma who had the idea to use the property for an agriculturally related entrepreneurship and sold everyone else on the idea of lavender.

“Just after I had ordered 3,000 plants, she comes home and tells me she’s moving to British Columbia,” said Brian with a chuckle.

Emma went west with her future husband Elliot Clatton, head coach for a Canadian national snowboard team but they came home in 2017 to get married amongst the lavender, as had her sister Jessica when she married Spencer Ridding.

With two weddings having taken place on the farm, Brian said it is a possibility they will open it to bookings but that is a plan for the future. For now, people can book photo shoots and visit

The lavender farm is truly a family business with everyone pitching in for planting and harvesting. The oil is distilled on site using a copper still.

About three pounds, or 50-60 plants,

are needed to get 15 ml of oil.

The essential oil is the key ingredient in the skincare products that people desire and the growers have partnered with a number of small local product manufacturers tapping into their

expertise in making candles, creams and soaps with their oils.

Six varieties of the perennial herb are grown on the farm, five English and one French. The French variety Grosso is highly coveted because it has a powerful scent and produces the most oil. The other varieties have their own distinct qualities, notably the Melissa which has a white flower and is ideal for culinary uses.

It turns out the rolling hills of Creemore are ideal for growing lavender. The hardy plant doesn’t mind the clay soil, does well with the good drainage provided by the sloping land and when under cover winters quite well.

Jessica said, while lavender has long been known for its therapeutic properties, new studies have shown that is also effective in reducing anxiety.

It is used as an antiseptic and antiinflammatory and is associated with calming and relaxing.

Purple Hill Lavender Farm has just opened a retail store on-site, where they sell a number of lavender products, including sachets and eye pillows, dried bunches, oils, candles, soaps, creams and more.

Visit Purple Hill Lavender Farm this Saturday, July 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors are welcome to relax by the pond, take in the view and wander the trails.

Find them on Facebook and Instagram to check future openings.

The farm is located at 7484 6/7 Sideroad Nottawasaga (take Collingwood Street out of Creemore and turn west onto the 6/7 Sideroad).

Pool repairs illustrate need for asset planning

by Trina Berlo Discussion about a major leak at Centennial Pool in Stayner and accessibility renovations at the township’s community halls only served to emphasize why an asset management plan is needed following a staff presentation to council on June 24.

Clearview’s Deputy Treasurer Kelly McDonald described the Asset Management Roadmap as a big picture planning tool to effectively assess the lifecycle of all township assets, and plan for their upkeep and eventual replacement if necessary.

“It will save us a lot of money and a lot of pain,” said McDonald.

CAO Steve Sage said the toughest decision facing council will be the community halls.

Mayor Doug Measures commented that the halls are assets and should be treated as such.

Big Heart Seniors

June 27 We had six full tables plus a table of three. The club donated $250 to the Legion Canada Day fireworks. We welcomed back Joan Olaskey and Wayne Eldervoog.

5 0 / 5 0 : R o y Ve i n o t , M a rc i a Cameron, June Hartley, Elsie Longson.

Earlier that day it was discovered a pipe repair was needed at the 52-year old outdoor pool and would be closed until mid-July while it is repaired.

General manager of Parks, Culture and Recreation Terry Vachon said council should be aware that some “major work” will be needed in the future.

“Municipalities were required to develop and implement an Asset Management Plan prior to December 31, 2016”, reported treasurer Edward Henley. “The Province passed Ontario Regulation 588/17: Asset Management Planning for Municipal Infrastructure in December 2017. It set out standards required to be met including a Strategic Asset Management Policy. The standards for this policy went beyond prior best practices and it is required for each municipality to have an up to date policy in place prior to July 1.”

(Note, the pool re-opened July 11.)

NOTICE OF PASSING

DEVELOPMENT CHARGES BY-LAW TAKE NOTICE that the Council for The Corporation of the Township of Mulmur passed By-law 30-19 adopting a new Development Charges By-law for the Township of Mulmur in accordance with the Development Charges Act, 1997 on July 3, 2019. This Notice is provided in accordance with the Development Charges Act as amended.

The purpose of the Development Charges By-law is to establish a Development Charge that would apply to new residential, and non- residential development in the Township of Mulmur.

• •

The new Development Charge for a residential dwelling is $ 11,854.76 The new Development Charge for non-residential development is $1.21 per square foot

Appeal: Any person or organization may appeal the by-law to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal under Section 14 of the Development Charges Act, 1997 by filing with the Clerk of the Township a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the by-law and the reasons supporting the objection. The last day for appeal is August 28 2019.

Additional Information: There is no key map given since the Development Charges By-law affects all lands within the Township of Mulmur.

CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF MULMUR PUBLIC MEETING FOR A PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT Date of Notice: July 17, 2019 The Corporation of the Township of Mulmur will hold a Public Meeting pursuant to Sections 34 of the Planning Act (1990) to consider an amendment to the Zoning By-law.

The public meeting will be held at the Mulmur Township Offices, located at 758070 2nd Line East at 9:05AM on August 7, 2019.

A copy of the proposed amendment is available for review at the municipal office during regular office hours. Anyone wishing to address Council with respect to the proposal may do so at the public meeting. Persons unable to attend the public meeting may provide written comments up until the time of the public meeting. If you wish to be notified of the decision on the proposed application, you must make an oral or written request to the Township of Mulmur. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at the public meeting or make written submissions to Mulmur Township before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of Council and the Corporation of the Township of Mulmur to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT).

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE AMENDMENT The Purpose of the Amendment is to provide increased regulations with respect to billboard signs. Billboard signs are currently permitted on most properties, subject to setbacks.

Pop up photography show continues through July Fine art photographer, Heidi Leverty and Bob Hyland have combined their talents for a Creemore pop up gallery for the month of July.

Leverty believes stepping out of the traditional gallery space allows her to stay connected to changing artistic landscape.

“My work changes and evolves as it must, because I am an artist, so

how I engage those who view my art is also shifting. Giving art enthusiasts an unexpected experience will, I hope, arouse and amaze interest in, not only my work, but the creative process behind it. The opportunity to share space with Bob in his hometown is a good fit,” she said.

Since 1991, Leverty ’s work has been presented regularly in international

and domestic galleries, magazines, and private collections. Pieces are included in the collection of the Canadian Foreign Affairs Department and featured at Canadian embassies in Seoul and Madrid. Leverty was chosen to represent Canada at the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, China.

As a fine art photographer, Leverty pursues a body of work which is

abstract in approach, but documentary in presentation. Focusing on capturing transient moments in the industrial world, in everyday objects, or in nature, she reveals the hidden excitement and extraordinary in what is often regarded as ‘the ordinary’.

The gallery at 151 Mill Street will be open Friday to Sunday until July 28.

THANK YOU

DEATH NOTICE

COE, James Raymond Died peacefully on Wednesday, July 3, 2019 at Bay Haven Care Community, Collingwood at the age of 94. Ray, beloved husband of the late Eleanor.

Loving father of Jim (Cathie), Karen (Carlos Eusebio), Michael, the late Randall and the late Steven. Cherished grandfather of Michele (John Smeh), Michael (Brittany), Jaxen and Tanner and to great-grandson Sawyer. Ray is survived by siblings Marie Kidd, Don Coe, Lois Walker and Della Prosser and predeceased by siblings Thelma Lightheart, Beatrice Mumberson, Isabel Gordon, Herb, Harvey and Richard Coe. He will also be missed by his many nieces and nephews.

Ray was a longtime Maple Leafs and Blue Jays fan, cheering for them to his last day. He will be missed. Friends were received at the Carruthers & Davidson Funeral Home - Stayner Chapel, 7313 Highway 26, Stayner on Friday, July 5, 2019 from 7 to 9 p.m.

The Funeral Service was held in the Funeral Home Chapel on Saturday at 1 o’clock. Interment Creemore Union Cemetery. If desired, a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by his family. To sign his Book of Memories, please visit www.carruthersdavidson.com

THANK YOU! The sky lit up with a Chrysanthemum of colour descending, fantastic I thought, as I sat and watched our Creemore fireworks ending what turned out to be a great day. I had a lot of help from our community to make it happen. My thanks to: Keith Boulter for organising the Harold Crawford bike parade, couldn’t coerce him into the big kids parade; our Scouting group who ran the old time games; Mayor Doug Measures for helping with the Canada Day cake cutting and serving; Shawn Hughson and gang for the ball hockey tournament; and all the Legion members, families and friends for pitching in to make everyone welcome with refreshments that met their needs.

Every year my biggest concern is getting enough Sponsors to cover the cost. I still think that we are favoured by Jeff Clarmo, North Star Fireworks, by giving us the biggest bang for our buck. Heritage Canada provides the largest funding followed by the Township, Creemore Springs Brewery, Creemore Legion, BIA and many others who can be seen on the Canada Day poster designed by darci-que. I feel privileged by the trust people place in me when they hand me money on the street for the fireworks. Every dollar counts towards making Canada Day in Creemore possible.

Being realistic and somewhat pragmatic I think someone else should step in as I feel I can be here today and gone tomorrow. Until that happens I’ll continue with the after action reports required by Heritage Canada, Clearview Township and Legion.

My thanks to everyone for all the help and participation to make a memorable Canada Day. A bad apple note: I promised Bob Giffen that I would return the baskets that we got GIFFEN APPLES in. I have one, please return the other.

Norm Nordstrom, Canada Day Coordinator, Creemore Legion
