Steer opens doors during open house

Clearview Youth Centre Looking for Community

by Trina Berlo Streer Enterprises opened its doors to the community last Friday during an open house to celebrate the grand opening of its new Cashtown Corners facility.

More than 600 people – friends, neighbours, customers and industry professionals – visited for a chance to tour the state-of-the-art facility and congratulate the staff.

O w n e r Ti m Yo u n g s a i d t h e attendance and response was humbling.

“I would like to say thanks for all of the support throughout the whole process,” said Young, adding that people have been very encouraging through the development process and subsequent OMB process that allowed Steer to build a facility more than four times larger than the one it occupied in Glen Huron.

The new 36,400 square foot shop and offices was designed with efficiency and safety in mind. At the time of the OMB ruling in 2017, there were 29 people on staff. That has grown to 57, as of last week.

“We are excited to support that many people in the community with well paying jobs and an opportunity for apprentices to find their path,” said Controller Judith Crawford.

The majority of employees are hired from within the area, some having started as co-op students and moving up through three stages of apprenticeships. There is also a full office staff and parts department.

(See “Steer” on page 3)

The Clearview Youth Centre, as part of its transition under the Parks, Culture and Recreation department of the municipality, is working on expanding programming, including building community partnerships.

The Youth Centre is looking to build community partnerships for day usage, and to expand program offerings to youth. If you are interested in using the space during the day or have programming ideas, please contact the centre by phone 705-428-5500, or email youthcentre@clearview.ca.

The Youth Centre is located at 7458 Highway 26 in Stayner. Drop-in programs are free for youth aged 12 to 18 and run Monday to Friday from noon to 4 p.m. during the summer.

Council approves Singhampton 4-way stop

by Trina Berlo Clearview council has agreed to create a 4-way stop on Milltown Road in Singhampton in response to residents’ concerns about increased traffic and speed.

Councillor Doug McKechnie championed the cause on behalf of

the community.

He said Milltown Road is “a natural bypass” for people trying to avoid the turn at County Rd. 124. The theory is that people speed across Milltown Road (985 metres in length) in order to get ahead of traffic turning onto 124.

The fact that there are no sidewalks in

the residential area, combined with the “undulating” road and a sharp turn is a dangerous combination as children play and people walk along the road, which has limited visibility in areas.

“No sidewalks mean there is a lot of activity on the street,” said Milltown (See “Stop” on page 3)

Clearview is in the lead, having the most steps in a neighbourly fitness challenge.

Since Canada Day, the three councils have logged their daily steps to promote healthy and active lifestyles: Clearview, 1018.02 km; Wasaga Beach, 948.17 km; and Collingwood, 680.08 km.

When the competition wraps at the end of the summer, the winning council will get to see its municipal flag fly for a two-week period in the neighbouring communities.

Memorial candlelight service at Bethel-Union Pioneer Cemetery The SilverShoe Historical Society is hosting the 22nd Annual Memorial Candlelight Service at Bethel-Union Pioneer Cemetery.

The service is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 17, at 2249 Creemore Ave., New Lowell.

MARGINWALKERS

THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, August 2, 2019 •

Steer invests in safe, comfortable workspace (Continued from page 1) She said there was a period in between when quarters were very crowded, as they took on new staff in preparation for the move from the old 8,400 square foot shop. She said they would take staff on excursions to see the new facility as it was built to boost morale and show them how good their working conditions would be.

As of June 17, staff has been settling into its spacious and bright workspace.

Young said he invested in a lot of glass – in both the offices and bay doors – so

that everyone would have natural light and a beautiful view.

Young also invested in providing a comfortable, efficient and safe workspace. The technicians are often down on the floor so the concrete is heated and the recovery time on the main heating system is ultra fast, equalizing the temperature in winter after the bay doors are opened.

There are two air conditioned lunch rooms (with ultra fast wifi), a locker room, a water bottle filling station to cut down on waste.

The 36,400 square foot 30-bay shop (10 three-bay drive-throughs with doors that are 16-feet wide, and one that is 20-feet wide) is equipped with two overhead cranes that can lift 83,000 pounds and well-lit pits to get under large diesel vehicles. Young said certain service jobs that would have taken two or three technicians can now be done by one and in half the time.

They took everything from their wish list at the old shop, and implemented it at the new one, automating systems where possible for inventory control.

3

The ventilation system is triggered automatically to clear the air of exhaust fumes and there is a sprinkler system with 62,000 gallons of stored water, which has been made available to the fire department to fight fires in the area.

Crawford said Steer’s customer base is growing because of the visible location, which happens to also provide a nice breeze through the shop on most days. Steer is now fully staffed, working shifts between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. but there is still room to

Stop signs not effective for speed control: MTO (Continued from page 1) Road resident Karen Dawson at the beginning of the July 29 meeting, adding some of the elderly residents are afraid to walk in the neighbourhood and some people wear safety vests to be more visible.

There are already stop signs on Church Street so residents are asking for two more signs at that intersection to create the four-way stop.

The request once again raised an ongoing council debate about whether or not stop signs should be used as traffic calming tools, which is in contravention to the Ontario Traffic Manual.

McKechnie said he is not looking to slow traffic. He wants to stop it.

He said Singhampton looks after its

own community centre and recreation facilities.

“They ask for nothing and I urge you to give them their four-way stop,” said McKechnie.

In his motion, he makes the point that there is limited off-street parking and the mailboxes are accessed from the street.

Clearview Township has installed one of its newly acquired radar speed signs in Signhampton. Deputy director of public works Dan Perreault said the data collected there shows that 200 daily vehicles were clocked going 48 and 35 km/h (85th percentile).

Community members spoke to the dangerous walking conditions and close calls they have experienced in their neighbourhood.

Jamie Wilson said she witnessed a car skid through the intersection onto a lawn, where school children catch the bus.

Youth also spoke to the issue saying the sign picks up cyclists, skewing the data.

Councillor Thom Paterson said he has seen this in action. He saw someone clocking in at 22 km/h while running and other kids were riding their bikes past the signs, seeing how fast they could go.

At the same July 29 meeting, council accepted a traffic calming policy that will ensure there is a formal process to evaluate future traffic calming requests.

It says, “It is important to note that stop signs are not to be used

for speed control. In accordance with the Ministry of Ontario Traffic Manual, unwarranted stop signs increase vehicular speeds between stop signs and encourage rolling stops (stop signs only affect speeds within approximately 40 metres of the stop sign). An excessive number of stop signs, particularly those that are not warranted, encourage disrespect for stop control signs and other traffic control devices.”

Clearview council has already approved stop signs, as a traffic calming measure, in Nottawa and Creemore.

Paterson also asked that a comprehensive traffic management study be considered during upcoming budget deliberations.

OPINION EDITORIAL No Hot Pets

The Georgian Triangle Humane Society reminds pet owners about the dangers of leaving pets unattended in vehicles during its C Campaign.

To educate the public on the dangers of leaving pets unattended in vehicles during the summer months, the Ontario SPCA has launched the 2019 No Hot Pets campaign in partnership with the Georgian Triangle Humane Society and SPCAs and humane societies from across Canada.

The issue of owners leaving their pets in vehicles during the hot summer months is an ongoing problem across Ontario and puts animals at risk.

There is no excuse for leaving a pet unattended in a vehicle and this summer.

The Georgian Triangle Humane Society is seeking the public’s help to share this important message.

Pet owners are also asked to go online to gths. ca/no-hot-pets and pledge to never leave their pets unattended in their vehicles.

Those who take the pledge will receive a free No Hot Pets window decal for their vehicles, while supplies last.

“Leaving your pet unattended in a vehicle is one of the most irresponsible things an owner can do. Leave your pet at home, and if you must take your pet out with you, ask businesses if they are okay with you bringing your pet indoors or having it wait outside in a safe area,” said Kelly O’Neil, Development Manager at GTHS, “During the hot summer months, let’s keep everyone safe and cool.”

Parked cars can quickly reach deadly temperatures, even on relatively mild days with the car parked in the shade and the windows slightly open.

Dogs have a limited ability to sweat, so even a short time in a hot environment can be life-threatening.

A dog’s normal body temperature is about 39°C and a temperature of 41°C can be withstood only for a very short time before irreparable brain damage or even death can occur.

If a dog is showing signs of heat stroke – excessive panting and drooling, listlessness or unconsciousness – prompt veterinary medical attention is vital. In the meantime, wet the fur immediately with lukewarm to cool water, not cold water. Bring the pet into the shade and offer drinking water.

If you observe an animal suffering in the heat, call the OPP.

Send letters to the editor to info@creemore. com. All letters must be signed with the writer's full name and include a phone number (which will not be printed.) Deadline is 5 p.m. on Tuesdays.

LETTER

NDP shares election sign concerns Editor: Thanks to the Green candidate for raising the issue of election signs. They are the best way to reach the voters, especially in rural ridings. However I would like to challenge the other parties to reduce the number erected. The Simcoe Grey New Democratic Party has reduced our footprint by putting up as few large signs as possible in every election. Approximately 75 in the riding. Enough to inform voters but not clutter the landscape.

We have been recycling our plastic signs since it was possible, 25 years ago. Initially they had to be transported to Mississauga. Now, Simcoe Waste Management provides a recycling container for signs at the Nottawasaga Dump for a week after the election.

No NDP sign from this riding has gone to a landfill.

We are able to reuse the stakes and H-frames each

I Dream of Genie (and Zuftig Zucchini)

by Tim Armour As I polished my zucchini There appeared a fearsome Genie And he promised he would grant to me three wishes.

So I pondered what I wanted Then spoke out in voice undaunted And I asked three ways to make this gourd delicious.

Or a casserole of pasta In zucchini shell would cast a Spell on gourmands who enjoy a hearty feeding Mix in tuna fish and cheddar Let some ketchup turn it redder This one may be the recipe you’re needing.

He suggested bocconcini Would go well with my zucchini, add some garlic and a little sweet balsamic.

Add a few wee red potatoes And some fine sun dried tomatoes The result is irresistibly dynamic.

Or perhaps a pureed marrow And some mashed and roasted taro Pine nut butter as a thickener to bind it.

Jalapenos chopped up finely That will season it divinely Then let nachos help your Taste buds go and find it.

148 Mill St., Creemore Ontario (705) 466-5621

by Trina Berlo Creemore resident Keegan Stueck will be competing in the Half Ironman World Championship in Taupo, New Zealand in November 2020 having qualified July 28 at the Ironman Canada 70.3 in Whistler, B.C. Stueck secured one of three slots in his age group of 40-45 by completing the race in 4 hours and 57 minutes, a personal best.

A Half Ironman Triathlon 70.3 refers to the total distance in miles (113.0 km) covered in the race, consisting of a 1.2-mile (1.9 km) swim, a 56-mile (90 km) bike ride, and a 13.1-mile (21.1 km) run. Each of the segments is half the distance of a full Ironman Triathlon.

The accomplishment was years in the making, said Stueck, working with a personal trainer to balance the physical challenge, with effective nutrition and mental focus.

“With there being three different sports there is a lot more room for things to go wrong. Twenty minutes before start I was about to do my warmup swim when “snap” my nosepiece of my goggles broke. Years of building only to have the race derailed by broken goggles,” he said.

He told himself to keep calm and work out the problem.

He decided to ask the announcer if he had spare goggles, by chance.

“The announcer gave a knowing smile and handed over a spare pair saying someone just dropped these off.

He right away made an announcement

asking if someone had a spare pair they could donate (so he always had an extra on hand). So those goggles are now my race ones and I’ll be donating a new pair at my next race for karma.”

After that, everything went really well.

“It was the first race that I’ve had that everything fell into place,” said Stueck.

He said everything aligned during this race. He had a good swim and was well equipped to tackle the hilly bike ride, having trained in the hills around Creemore. For the run, he said he was able to be in the moment, by concentrating on his breathing and surroundings, and not think too much about the big picture, just staying present in the moment.

“Not worrying about how many more miles I had to go just worrying about my cadence, my breathing and staying very present in that one moment and knowing that the training is there and the body will hold up,” said Stueck. “Because it’s the mental part that I hadn’t nailed in the previous races… It was a good confidence builder.”

He said he was drawn to do this as a personal challenge and a progression of his natural athleticism and competitive nature.

“I set the big goal and it’s out there and you just keep working towards it and now that I’ve achieved it… It’s a special opportunity. I’m very lucky to have the opportunity, to have the support,” said Stueck. He said he (See “Mental” on page 9)

Mental focus, nutrition, key to success

Funds available for water quality improvement

(Continued from page 8) couldn’t do it without the support of his wife Elise Beauregard.

Stueck competed in his first Olympic distance triathlon in 2011, in preparation for a Half Ironman Distance race in 2012. Then he did another in 2013 before setting his sights on a Full Distance Ironman in Mont Tremblant in 2016.

It was Beauregard who connected Stueck with trainer Andrew Flynn, of Tri39 in Collingwood, who put together a six-day per week training program that he followed and ultimately allowed him to achieve his goal.

“I trusted the program Andrew made and I knew I had put the hours in... which meant I could push myself hard on race day and know that there was enough endurance and strength developed to maintain race pace for hours and miles on end,” said Stueck.

The World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF Canada) Loblaw Water Fund has for a second year awarded the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA)’s Healthy Waters Program with $25,000 to improve water quality and provide habitat for wildlife.

“This funding allows landowners, farmers and volunteers to help restore our streams and rivers through our Healthy Waters Program,” said Shannon Stephens, NVCA’s Healthy Waters Program Coordinator. “Last year’s toxic algae bloom in Lamont creek, low oxygen ‘dead zones’ in Willow Creek, and high bacteria and nutrient levels in our streams demonstrate the critical need to continue this work.”

The new trees will help improve drinking water quality and provide habitat for wildlife. Farmers will see better sustainability and profitability on their farms and recreation enthusiasts have

cleaner places to swim and fish in.

“The Nottawasaga rivers will be a little cleaner thanks to the WWF’s Loblaw Water Fund,” added Stephens. “In the Nottawasaga Valley watershed, 95 per cent of the land is privately owned. The support and environmental stewardship of private landowners and volunteers is crucial to the environment in our watershed.”

The new funds will cover 30 to 100 per cent of the cost of stewardship projects, to a maximum of $10,000. Eligible water quality projects include: Tree planting and habitat restoration; Clean water diversion from livestock yards; Livestock exclusion fencing from streams and wetlands; Planting streamside buffers between cropland and streams; Retrofitting farm tiles with controlled drainage boxes; and Well decommissioning.
