RAY’S Place takes new name, reflective of new role

by Sandra Webster The board of RAY’S Place held a planning session to evaluate strengths and opportunities and to start creating a strategic plan to be implemented over the next five years.

One of the discussions considered the name of the Creemore-based charity and how in 2008, it had a physical location a n d w a s c a l l e d R AY ’ S P l a c e (Rent-a-Youth Resource Centre) to help local students find employment.

After cancelling the youth hiring program, RAY’S Place evolved into an educational support program for local youth.

Marketing Chair Anna-Lisa Mantesso felt it was important to learn about the history of RAY’S and talked with people who were involved in the past as well as with members of the community.

What Mantesso learned from her research is that there

was high awareness and positive brand image in the RAY’S Place name and the initial rent-a-youth program. Conversely, many were unsure whether it still existed or what RAY’S now did. Mantesso said, “We can honour the past by leveraging the strong brand equity in the name RAY’S and dropping the word, Place. We need to give the name new meaning in order to build on the strength of the past.” The board decided to evolve the marketing name to RAYS, an acronym for Resources for Area Youth Success.

RAYS programs currently offer financial assistance to help students attend universities, colleges and trade courses as well as ongoing support through mentoring and career workshops.

With the marketing name agreed on, the first step was in creating the logo and brand identity. Mantesso reached out to Laurie Copeland, owner of Cardboard Castles and previous

RAY’S Place board member, where they shared information about the then and now of the organization. Along with founding chair of RAYS, Tony Fry, Copeland had been involved with RAY’S Place from its inception and for many years after.

Mantesso asked Copeland if she would assist in redesigning the logo as she had designed the most recent logo. Copeland agreed once again to pitch in and help. The task was to ensure it appealed to both primary customers: students and donors.

Copeland said, “In discussing the history of the association, we decided that we wanted to preserve some of the branding behind RAYS. The important aspect of course, being the ray of hope

that it could provide for Creemore-area youth in continuing their education. We carried forward the colour theme of blue/yellow and the symbol of the sun, but enriched the colours and design to illustrate a more mature and transitioned organization. The Creemore ‘heart’ is also hidden in the logo to emphasize the town’s tag, “little village with a big heart”.

Mantesso sat down with Fry, to talk with him about the evolution of RAYS and to show him the new logo.

Fry said, “The rebranding is fantastic.

It picks up on the history and people will see this as a new venture in supporting youth.” He added, “The acronym for RAYS, Resources for Area Youth Success, is perfect as it was always about helping youth succeed and now it has evolved to providing scholarships and bursaries for post secondary education and also offers to mentor youth to support them in reaching their goals.”

Profiles in courage by author Catherine Gildiner

by Basil Ginane Good Morning, Monster, offers the reader compelling profiles in courage by telling the stories of five patients who faced significant challenges to their mental health.

In her author’s note, Catherine Gildiner, a clinical psychologist who was in private practice for 25 years says that she wanted the book to be both inspirational and a learning tool. It does indeed work in both ways.

Gildiner has not written dry clinical case studies, but instead deeply moving accounts of people trying to come to terms with childhood trauma. These journeys of discovery are both thought provoking and surprising. As Gildiner writes, “In many ways psychology is like archaeology. As you dig down to uncover each layer and carefully dust off the artifacts that emerge, you eventually find a whole buried world that seems stranger than fiction.”

Each profile provides the reader with the backgrounds of the patient and gives the details of the different therapeutic approaches that were used. One thing that is common to all the profiles is the relationship that develops between Gildiner and her patients. The importance of trust cannot be over emphasized in terms of achieving a successful treatment and Gildiner is adept at describing how this was established, not always easily, in each instance.

This is most evident in the case of her patient

Catherine Gildiner Danny, a Cree man who first saw Gildiner after the death of his wife and child. Gildiner writes that, “Freud, along with all the other European founding fathers of psychotherapy, knew nearly nothing of Indigenous culture, and neither did I.” Gildiner, recounts how she had to reach out to native elders and attend their ceremonies as a way of understanding a culture that was unknown to her in order to effectively communicate with Danny and build a relationship with him. She provides fascinating insights into how this relationship slowly formed and is not shy about explaining the missteps she took during their initial sessions.

Other cases include the musician Peter, the son of

3

Vietnamese immigrants who was severely mistreated by his mother and Laura who had to deal with issues of parental abandonment. There is also Madeline, whose case provided the title of the book. Yes, her mother actually managed to convince Madeline that she was a monster.

What is striking is the courage it takes for each patient to face the realities of a painful childhood and come to terms with how it is affecting their adult life.

This process often proves challenging and Gildiner likens it to entering a labyrinth to slay a Minotaur.

Facing their monsters is never easy but Gildiner recounts these struggles in an engaging way often explaining complex clinical terms in plain language that is easily understood. No mean feat.

The reader is also given insights into Gildiner and she provides details on how each patient impacted her. As she says, “these five courageous psychological warriors made an indelible impression on me when they were my patients. I still think of them often.”

A book launch will be held in Creemore on Nov. 9 featuring Gildiner in conversation with local therapists Eric King and Gillian Harris. The event will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Station on the Green.

Admission is free.

Good Morning, Monster will be published on Sept.

3. Copies can be pre-ordered at Curiosity House Books in Creemore.

Ibbotson is a financial coach, chartered investment manager, financial planner, insurance agent and mortgage broker, who divides her time between Oakville and Clearview. In her new book, she helps people on the path to becoming debt free before they retire.

She said today, three out of five retirees have debt.

“Some have refinanced and more people are retiring with debt,” said Ibbotson. “And life is expensive.”

It used to be that people would have paid off their mortgages by the time they were middle aged but that has changed, she said.

THE WAY WE WERE

LETTER

Proposed development is not a "village green" Editor: As one who was raised in the “Garden of England” (Kent) where almost every village has a “Green” around which the villages had evolved over time and used for all manner of community purposes from weekend cricket matches to autumn carnivals complete with Maypole dancing and flower shows, I fail to see how the proposed development of pathways and trees created after the fact from the tearing down of the TD Bank can be considered as a “village green”.

If Caroline/Library streets did not split the current greenspace into quarters around the library and Station on the Green, Creemore would have an almost perfect village green that included the memorial to our fallen warriors and lots of grass for children to play.

Adding a relatively small area to our restful horticultural park will not make a “Village Green”, especially if it means the removal or changes to our existing park, which serves a defined purpose, namely a quiet place where residents can sit and enjoy nature and a fountain surrounding six unique dancing children and currently free of the commercial aspects of a downtown area.

Commercialization of our communities needs to be brought under control and take second place to the enjoyment of life by those of use who have chosen to live in Creemore. Each week we are seeing how our elected officials are intent on turning our villages and their historical features into commercial venues benefiting the few in our communities who have shops and being paid for with the tax dollars of residents.

If Clearview Township took some of the money it’s now using for 10-person tourism vehicles, the “crass” signage appearing everywhere across the municipality and for “naming rights” for the GNE and used it for the real benefit of the community by fixing the infrastructure and accessibility issues, those living here would be far better off.

If you go to London, England you’ll find hundreds of small quiet “horticultural gardens” similar to our own with a seat or two for people to rest their aching bones and spend some time in thought or conversation removed from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding commercial world.

Such is our own horticultural Garden, so please council, our elected councillor and the “do-gooders”, many of whom do not even live here yet support the removal of the TD Bank building as a tax advantage for an organisation that has cut out the “heart” of Creemore and many other Ontario villages, leave our garden as the only respite from the noise on Mill Street life and take your commercially centred “Village Green” elsewhere!

NVCA cuts put watershed at risk Editor: Are you old enough to remember Hurricane Hazel? The legendary storm killed 81 people in Canada and popularized a commitment to Ontario’s 36 Conservation Authorities (CAs).

Decades of tree clearing had created extensive flooding problems so the CAs were established in 1946. The mandate of the CAs was to work with municipalities in the best interest of the local watershed.

Over the years CAs established programs for flood control, water quality monitoring and improvement, water resource protection, trail development and outdoor recreational opportunities, community group support, and more.

With municipal representation and long-term vision, programs were locally defined and outside the sphere of contemporary politics.

Today, the Ford government appears to have forgotten the lessons of the past. In April, the

province cut funding to the CAs by 50 per cent.

Last Friday, the Province ordered the CAs to wind down non-essential programs without consultation or taking unique watershed characteristics into account.

Clearview Township and Wasaga Beach fall under the jurisdiction of the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA).

The NVCA’s Chairperson, a Councillor from Wasaga Beach, George Watson, is on record supporting recommendations to dissolve the NVCA. How can Mr. Watson advocate for the NVCA and critical programs while he works as a Councillor to undermine the organization? This is an obvious conflict of interest.

With the province’s attack on the CAs to favour industry and developers, and without strong longterm CA management and vision, our watershed is being put at risk.

Area retailers win cannabis lottery

LETTER

Bridging the cultural divide

Editor: We have lived on a farm in Clearview for the past 26 years. Our land is managed by a real farmer.

We have witnessed the demographic transformation of the area with the arrival of citizens from urban centres seeking “the country life.”

Intrawest has precipitated a burgeoning four-season resort economy in the area. Golf courses have sprouted up replacing arable land and cyclists in their best “tour” garb abound on local roads used, as well, by combines and tractors.

The culture clash between locals and transplants has engendered some confusion and ill will. Much of this divide originates in the transplants’, like us, notion of farming from a 20th Century perspective; intoxicating

the soil by over-spraying and no real concern for the environment. A son of a local farmer, studying agricultural financial management at the University of Guelph, gifted us with a book which demystifies farming in the 21st Century.

The title is Food 5.0: How We Feed the Future by Robert D. Saik.

Topics addressed are chemistry, genetic engineering, bioengineering, precision agriculture and data collection. The objective of the book is to educate all of us non-farmers about how our local farms operate; as well as dispel myths about issues such as round-up and cancer, spraying, fertilizer and organic farming. A mustread for “cidiots” to begin to bridge the gap between our cultures.

Potential cannabis retailers in Collingwood and Barrie have been selected through a lottery to apply for a cannabis Retail Store Authorization.

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) held a lottery on August 20 for those who met prequalification requirements for one of 42 new store authorizations announced by the Government of Ontario on July 3 an opportunity to be selected to apply for one cannabis Retail Operator Licence and a Retail Store Authorization.

Of the 4,864 eligible expressions

of interest included in the lottery draw, which was overseen by a thirdparty fairness monitor, The AGCO has notified Louis Laskovski, of Collingwood (proposed store address is 312 Hurontario St.) and Sofia Kuliev of Barrie (proposed store address is 65 Collier St.) that they may now apply by August 28.

The AGCO will then undertake a full eligibility and licensing review. The AGCO will only licence applicants and authorize stores that meet all legal and regulatory requirements.

Police warn of counterfeit bills

Police arrested a male recently for using counterfeit currency at various businesses in the area.

On August 20, Huronia West OPP officers received a complaint of a counterfeit U.S. $50 bill that was used at a business in Clearview Township.

Officers were able to obtain a vehicle description and plate information and began to patrol for the vehicle which was eventually located south bound on 45th Street in Wasaga Beach. A vehicle stop was initiated where the suspect was arrested and transported to detachment.

Further investigation found that the suspect had attended a business in Elmvale a few days prior and had used another $50 U.S. bill with the same serial number. At the time of his arrest the male was found to be in possession of three more $50 U.S. bills with the

same serial number as the other two occurrences.

Charged is 43 year-old Steven Slack of Barrie, he is charged with two counts of Uttering Counterfeit Money, two counts of Failing to Comply With Probation Order and one count of Possessing Counterfeit Money.

Police ay this is a good reminder to all merchants to be vigilant when accepting larger denominations of cash for small purchases or to exchange for Canadian currency.

In this occurrence the serial number of the counterfeit bills was MD50720047B and there is a possibility that more businesses may have taken the bills as being genuine. If this is the case please contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 to report the incident to your local detachment.

Due to all the changes between Rama and Hammond, the bus provider, we will only continue to have a free bus if there is a minimum of 45 passengers. Less than that number will mean an extra $5 charge per person. It is important to have an accurate number by next week.

NVCA receives funds from Canada’s Environmental Damages Fund The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) received $138,777 from Environment Canada’s Environmental Damages Fund. This funding will be used to improve water quality in rivers and lakes, restore habitat, plant trees and reduce farm runoff.

“I am very excited for this opportunity,” said Shannon Stephens, NVCA’s Healthy Waters Program Coordinator. “It helps address current issues in our watershed, such as bacteria and phosphorus levels in our rivers and lakes, and building resilient habitat to benefit both plants and animals.”

These projects will take place on public and private lands throughout the entire Nottawasaga Valley Watershed over the next three years. Approximately 43.5 hectares of forests will be planted along 3.2 kilometres of streams. This will improve water quality in the surface and ground levels, reduce flooding and create fish habitat.

With this funding, wetlands will also be created to enhance biodiversity hotspots and reduce flooding.

Collingwood Coastal Wetlands and the Minesing Wetlands will also be more protected from invasive Phragmites.

For farmers, there will be opportunity for projects like cover crops, farmland stream buffers and windbreaks to divert 120 kilograms of phosphorus, and 20 tonnes of soil per year from the streams in the Nottawasaga Valley Watershed.

“We’ve worked with some exceptional farmers and landowners in the past,” continued Stephens. “They are the stewards of the land. I look forward to working with even more people in this community to improve the environment in our watershed.”

Farmers, landowners and volunteers who are looking to do conservation projects can contact Stephens at 705-424-1479, ext. 239 or e-mail sstephens@ nvca.on.ca.

• THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, August 23, 2019

Farmers welcome visitors during Dufferin Farm Tour Dufferin County is home to good food and great farmers, and for one day each fall a select few Dufferin farms open their doors to the public.

For 19 years Dufferin farmers have generously invited the public onto their farms. This is an opportunity to see agricultural production in action, participate in educational activities, talk with farmers and learn how food is grown or raised, harvested and marketed. The Farm Tour provides an opportunity to see farming as it happens and understand more about how food gets to the dinner plate. “This is one of my favourite days of the year. I always learn so much about our local farmers and come away with such respect and appreciation for them,” commented a past Farm Tour visitor.

With this year’s host farms, visitors will get to see a market garden and greenhouse, a Christmas tree farm, a horse stable and training facility, a robotic milking dairy operation, and a beef cattle farm. There will be additional activities at each farm, including the opportunity to purchase fresh produce and fresh food so bringing cash and a cooler is encouraged.

Dufferin is home to over 500 farms covering almost 50 per cent of the land in Dufferin County. Agriculture is the largest economic contributor in Dufferin. In 2013, Dufferin County farms produced $27.7 million of beef, $17.4 million of dairy and $16.5 million worth of potatoes, among many other products.

The tour is self-guided and is free with a donation to local food banks. Tour registration (to receive

a passport and map) opens in September on the website dufferinfarmtour.com. Interested attendees are encouraged to sign up for our news updates or follow us on social media. For those without online access passports can be picked up at Orangeville Visitor Information Centre one week prior to the tour.

On Saturday, Sept. 28 bring the whole family and spend a day visiting your local farmers on their farms from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine Admission is a donation for local food banks.

Bring the donation on tour day and drop at the first farm visited.

The tour registration is available on the website in September. Visit www.dufferinfarmtour.com to sign up for tour updates.

Meal time choice for patients coming to CGMH Starting this fall, patients at the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital (CGMH) will be able to choose from a variety of nutritious, prepared fresh meals, cooked in house by a Red Seal certified chef.

The hospital is launching Freshflex in partnership with Aramark, the company who oversees the hospital’s dietary and environmental service areas.

“CGMH is very excited to announce that improvements to our patient menu are on the horizon, as enhancing the patient experience and providing choice and variety remains at the forefront for the hospital,” says Norah Holder, CGMH president and CEO. “Ultimately, if patients are eating healthy foods and getting the rest they require, this all contributes to the healing process.”

The hospital and Aramark are working collaboratively on menu enhancements that meet more than 20 therapeutic diets, to provide patients with the nourishment they require, depending on their ailment.

“Providing fresh, flavourful and nutritious meals to patients, prepared fresh on-site, is the goal of the Food Services Department at CGMH,” says Natasha Mooney, manager of Food Services, Clinical Nutrition and EVS. Dietary employees will be engaging with patients and assisting them with meal time selection, for a more personal approach.

The hospital will implement a one-week cycle menu where patients will choose from a variety of selections offered each meal. The meal selection will follow Canada’s newly updated food guide, which has recommendations around increasing omega-3 fats, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables and lean meats where possible.

In order to help make this important patient care initiative possible, the Foundation is launching a $350,000 campaign to support the implementation of Freshflex.

“This project could not be possible without community support,” says Jory Pritchard-Kerr,

Executive Director of the CGMH Foundation. “The Foundation is excited to partner with the Hospital and Aramark on this innovative, patient-centred project.”

Donations to this campaign will be invested in new computer software that syncs with the patient’s medical record to capture any noted dietary requests, to ensure that only selections allowable to a patient’s diet and/or texture profile will be available for meal selection.

Through community support, donations will also fund dietary department renovations and state-ofthe-art kitchen equipment, including: a Rational SelfCookingCenter which can roast, fry, grill, steam, poach, bake (and much more) any item ranging from meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, eggs, baked goods or even desserts; Ultra-fast shock freezer/chiller; and a temperature-controlled delivery system.

The Foundation recently received a $5,000 donation from National Bank of Canada to kick off the campaign.
