Roxodus Music Fest gets council approval by Trina Berlo Clearview council has paved the way for Roxodus Music Fest to go ahead. By approving a special event agreement and a temporary use zoning, council has given the goahead for organizers, even though some permits and required documents were still outstanding at the time. The approvals were voted on at a special meeting held Wednesday afternoon, in the final hours that would still allow for an appeal. Doug McKechnie was the only councillor to oppose both motions, saying there is too much of a downside and the concert – even though it is being held at Edenvale Aerodrome – is not an aviation related event. “I cannot support this at all,” he said. “We stand to lose a lot as a community. There will be very little economic benefit…” But it was Connie Leishman, the councillor for the ward, who had the toughest decision. She voted against the agreement but when it came time to vote for the zoning, she agreed to the option tabled (to permit one event in 2019 and one event in 2020, both with a maximum of five days). “This has been tough… It has

The approvals went against the (See “County” on page 7)

Pizza Perfect owners set to retire, restaurant sold by Trina Berlo Partners in life for more than 45 years, and in business for more than 20 years, Henry and Christina Affolter will now be partners in leisure. The couple has sold their restaurant, Pizza Perfect Wings and Good Things, and are looking forward to a well-deserved rest. The Affolters have been staples in the business community of Creemore for more than two decades. They operated a video store until they took over a pizza place on Caroline Street West, eventually ending up in their main street location. Before the internet, and even cable, the video store was an essential service in the village. The Affolters recall paying a premium to bring in movies six to eight weeks before the videos were available for purchase. “The rental part of the business was good,” said Henry. “But the returns were a problem because if people didn’t bring them back right away we would lose money,” added Christina. They got to know a lot of people in town and, being a new immigrant Henry said he always felt welcome. As a young man, Henry came to Canada to learn English in preparation for an apprenticeship as a commercial businessman back home in Leuzigen, Switzerland. He was working as a waiter at a restaurant at Simpsons in Yorkdale when a waitress there caught his eye. “I remember standing at the wall, very shy,” said Henry. He asked her to go to a party but Christina declined, saying she didn’t want to date a co-worker but they ended up going to the movies together that week. Christina went back to Switzerland with Henry, where they lived for 20 years, and had two children. Eventually she became homesick for her family back in Canada, as was her daughter. Their son, who was non-verbal autistic, would be forced to leave school at the age of 18, but in Canada he would be able to go

They worked hard, managing the video business and, later, running a busy kitchen. After taking over Pizza Perfect, they worked to improve the quality of the food and added menu items. Henry usually works the griddle and Christina makes the pizzas, 50 or more on a busy day. Over the past couple of years, the workload has become too much so they have been winding down, closing earlier and taking proper lunch breaks together. The tragic death of their son eight years ago, and bouts of illness have taken a toll, prompting them to
take some time for themselves, rest up and visit family back in Switzerland. Eventually they plan to move to Penetanguishene to be closer to their daughter and her family. They are very pleased that the restaurant has sold to Stacey and Andrew Karsgaard. “I hope they will be very successful,” said Henry. “A lot of people are happy for us that we can retire.” “We would like to thank all of our customers, all the people in town who supported us,” said Christina. Pizza Perfect will be closing for the first two weeks of July and then will re-open for the rest of the month until the new owners take over August 1.
Carving goes to Vancouver An owl sculpture by Creemore woodcarver David Bruce Johnson has been selected for an international exhibit benefitting wildlife. He is one of 200 artists worldwide showing at the Artists for Conservation Festival in Vancouver from Sept. 27-29. It is a multiday art and environmental education event, featuring AFC’s annual show – the world’s top conservation-themed art exhibit and artist expo. The owl was carved during the 2017 Creemore Festival of the Arts at the invitation of owl show organizer Jim Harkness. “I call it My Heart Imogi, My Owl,” said Johnson. “I asked the little kids that came around to count the number of hearts that are in the grain of the wood and there are lots. The kids had fun.” This is Johnson’s fourth time being included in the exhibit. Visit Afc.ca.

OPINION LETTERS Solutions may bring new problems Editor: A response to the June 14 editorial, Plastics ban will spur innovation: This countrywide shift away from plastics will certainly spur innovation, let’s just hope in the right direction. This single use plastics ban feels like a long time coming, and now fresh in our laps the possibilities are vast. If we are not savvy consumers, alternatives that seem to be an environmentally conscious solution now could reveal to us a new and entirely different problem years down the road, as alluded to by the editor. A study from Dalhousie University (Reducing marine pollution from single use plastics (SUPs): A review) outlines that paper seems to be the go to when plastics are no longer available; but they are not a sustainable option, “Paper bags are heavier than plastic bags, generating more GHG emissions during transportation and may produce atmospheric and effluent pollution during pulping… Bans on plastic bags result in 35 per cent increase in paper bag use, which may lead to more environmental harm.” Importing sustainably grown products like bamboo also has a heavy carbon footprint, and introducing a non-indigenous, fast growing plant to cut the emissions could prove to be invasive. Plant based plastic alternatives (see EnviGreen) that break down easily would eliminate plastics from finding their way into our water table and our bodies, however would take up valuable farmlands. While there are many solutions for potential plastic substitutes (not exhausted by what is stated above), I agree with what the editor has mentioned in her last few words. What the real concern here is our buying habits. Plastic after all is an inanimate object that we invented for convenience. It has now become a target for our scrutiny, and rightfully so, but plastic didn’t put itself into the ocean, or into the bodies of animals and humans, we did that. It is our need for convenience and lack of concern that is set to fill the ocean with more plastic than fish if our consumption continues unchecked. Let’s take this opportunity to not just replace, but to rethink. Here’s to innovation and a future that looks much greener! (The study from Dalhousie can be found at www.researchgate.net/publication/327989798_ Reducing_marine_pollution_from_single-use_ plastics_SUPs_A_review) Erika Stephens, Creemore.

Generation encouraged to be ‘bitter’ and entitled Editor: In response to the Halsall letter of June 14: In a prior letter, I wrote that the exploitation of children as political pawns by an elite class was despicable. Sadly, it seems that this type of exploitation is accepted by so many if it is placed under the guise of ‘reclaiming’ democracy and ‘balance.’ My letter was misunderstood by the Halsalls as they got mired in the semantics of the protest instead of what I was opposed to, the protesting itself. I never invoked climate change, but it seems that the Halsalls, in their myopic perspective, will attribute to anyone who disagrees with them on one issue the binary notion that they hold countless other ‘regressive’ views. Surely such enlightened and educated people should know that there is more nuance in the world. Is it repentance for someone to take responsibility for their own sins and the sins of their generation by foisting its remedy on the coming generation? My generation, instead of being thankful for growing up in

the most prosperous society in human history, is being encouraged to be ‘bitter’ and entitled. By encouraging the youth to protest and dissent, they are not being educated in democracy but being incited to revolution. The urgings of the Halsalls’ letter echoes the call of all revolutionary movements throughout history where a petty, well-off aristocracy directs the peasants to fight and die for a cause they do not understand nor care about but sounds lofty and progressive. It is much better to repair ‘broken’ democracy and capitalism by working the corrective mechanisms within those systems than by wholly dispatching them through revolution. You cannot have it both ways. It must be frightening to have so little faith in democracy that those who see themselves as the moral elite must coerce children to impose their minority view on the democratic majority. Talk about an imbalance. Real balance does not stem from a blanket uniformity. Yael Inglis, Creemore.
Substitute screen time for the garden for healthy options Editor: If you read the little paragraph at the end of my history stories each month you will see it stated that I am an avid gardener. That is very true and whether you like it or not I am always trying to make you an avid gardener. The reasons are many. First of all, did you know that many of the fruits and vegetables you buy today have fewer vitamins and minerals than what was eaten, say, 40 years ago? Much, much fewer. They are grown on depleted soils. The microscopic life in the soil which helps the plant produce the

vitamins and minerals is destroyed by applications of chemicals and sprays. There are other reasons as well but I urge you now to dig up a little patch in your back yard. It is still not too late to plant beans, (carrots are a bit hard to get going), lettuce, beets and a couple of tomato plants. Check the stores for dutch sets. They make good green onions.

LOCAL HISTORY
This month’s contribution is a continuation of the story of the Methodist Church, now St. John’s United Church. We have so much about this congregation because they preserved their record books. I understand they are all now in the church archives. Life at the end of the nineteenth century was flourishing at the Methodist Church so they decided to buy a bell for the elegant steeple on the church. The bell rang for the first time January 1, 1901 to usher in the twentieth century. This brick church on Mill Street was a Methodist Church until 1926 when it was named a United Church. This name change was a result of the church union, which united Presbyterians, Methodists and Congregationalists. More about that later. In the meantime the activities at the church continued to flourish especially in the matter of improving the building itself. After the fruition of the idea to install the bell came the plan to buy a new pipe organ, that is, if it could be done for less than $300. By June 1904 it was purchased and set up. This was no easy chore as some of the bricks from the back wall had to be removed. A larger plan for improvement was the building of the gallery at the east end and the raising of the floor of the church so the pews were gradually elevated towards the back. This was in 1910. It was estimated to cost $397. The church was closed until it was reopened in early May. The cost turned out to be $525.65 and unfortunately there wasn’t enough money on hand; they had to borrow some additional funds. The regular Sunday services were seldom reported in the newspapers.

County withdraws objection, site remediation to be dealt with (Continued from page 1) planning consultant’s recommendation to deny the temporary permitted use based on the applicant not fulfilling the complete application requirements established by the Township of Clearview, not possessing the required clearances and conformity with planning policy. Most council members, staff and the lawyer were confident that the agreement date June 19 – between the Township of Clearview, the County of Simcoe, MF Live (promoters) and property owners Taurus Investment Group and Edenvale Aerodrome – would protect the municipality because the agreement is registered to the title of the land so if organizers do not adhere to it, Clearview can seek “injunctive relief” to take recourse. The County of Simcoe and the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority had raised concerns about the event proceeding. There were concerns that alterations to the site had been done without the proper permits and oversight. McIntosh said those objections have been withdrawn as the concerns are being addressed and the parties have agreed to deal with compensation and remediation to address the removal of trees and vegetation and the placement of fill prior to obtaining the required
approvals and permits and any damage that may have been caused to the Natural Heritage Features or their ecological functions. Officials said the MTO permit application is in its final stages and organizers are addressing security, noise, waste management, and bylaw enforcement among other concerns. “They still have a hell of a lot of work to do,” said Mayor Doug Measures. “We’ve done everything we can do to protect the interest of all of Clearview.” “To be honest, this event is going to happen whatever we decide,” said Measures adding there could be long legal battles otherwise. “Or we can be clear and show confidence in our staff.” COA Steve Sage said he agrees with the mayor, that the approval process “has sucked the air out of staff.” “The fear of the unknown has created some angst,” said Sage. “It hasn’t been easy.” Roxodus Music Fest is a fourday concert featuring more than 20 bands including headliners Nickelback, Lynard Skynyrd, Kid Rock and Aerosmith, from July 11-14. Organizers have now said they will open the festival grounds on July 10 for camping and performances on the secondary stage.

Local running champ named CCI's senior athlete of the year

Collingwood Collegiate Institute Coach Chris Bremmer (from left), Senior Male Athlete of the Year Tyler Karl, Senior Girls Athlete of the Year Anna Carruthers and coach Al Coukell.
Avening resident Anna Carruthers was named 2019 Senior Girls Athlete of the Year at Collingwood Collegiate Institute’s Athletic Banquet on June 11. Carruthers is an accomplished runner, on the track and on the trails. In cross-country, she has qualified to compete at OFSAA eight times, winning individual GBSSA Champion and leading her team to a GBSSA title four times, missing the podium as an individual only once. In track and field, she is a four-time GBSSA champion, this year capturing a pair of titles in the senior 3000m and as the anchor of a 4x400m relay
that went on to place 9th in all of Ontario breaking the school record by six seconds. She also qualified in the 1500m to round out a very busy OFSAA. Carruthers is also an accomplished alpine skier and competed for CCI in Grades 9 and 10. “She has been a quiet leader and an outstanding athlete. I’ve seen her run though unbelievable conditions of rain and sleet and mud and I’ve watched her do it with bleeding feet – literally. Still, she has persevered. And now she can take her talents to run at Western University…,” said Coach Allan Coukell.

‘Jammin Just for Fun’ was the theme on June 8 when family, friends, neighbours andmusicians gathered to celebrate the 90th birthday of Alex Aldcorn. Alex was raised in a home of music, taught his family the love of music, still plays music at jamborees and shares the joy of music at nursing homes in Shelburne, Stayner and Orangeville. What better way to celebrate the occasion than a whole day and night of music, singing and dancing? A bountiful meal and later on, a beautiful display of fireworks ended off a great day enjoyed by all.

The third annual Mulmur Day was such fun, even though the weather didn’t quite want to cooperate. But attendees were nice and dry under two large tents so the rain didn’t bother us! With vendors, kids activities, a delicious pig roast, and the fabulous Slime Dogs playing country and rock to keep us dancing and singing along, it was a party to remember! Thank you to all who came out and joined in our fun.

WESETVIK, Edward Einar
Died peacefully at home in Picton Ontario on Saturday, June 15, 2019. Edward was born to Mikael and Ida Wesetvik in 1936 in Bergen, Norway. He boldly ventured to Canada in 1968 with his wife Margaret and infant daughter Suzanne to embark on new challenges that resulted in a successful career in Capital Markets compliance. “Ed” as he was known to his TSE, industry and eventual County friends, was always regarded as a gentleman and someone ready for new adventures. His wanderlust finally led him fittingly to Prince Edward County, where he found a wonderful community of caring and generous people who took him in with open arms. The family would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped make Ed’s final years so full of fellowship and friendship. Predeceased by his brother Magne Wesetvik and sister Solveig Dyregrov of Norway, ‘Bestee’ will be greatly missed by his children Suzanne Wesetvik (Jim Campbell) and Myles Wesetvik (Chaela Walker), grandchildren Sadie and Esmé Campbell, and Brody and Leah Wesetvik. Uncle Einar will also be fondly remembered by all his nieces, nephews and family in Norway, as well as his in-laws in Ireland. A graveside service will be held at Quaker Cemetery, Bloomfield on Saturday, June 22, 2019 at 11 a.m. All are welcome. If desired, donations to Gilead Fellowship or The County of Prince Edward Public Library “Time to Renew” would be appreciated by the family. May he Rest In Peace.
