by Petty Officer Madison Green, Cadet Correspondent. Personal fitness and healthy living has and always will be an imperative aspect to our day-to-day lives. Course Cadet Hailey D’Angio from 1949 New Lowell Army Cadets in Creemore will be taking a step further in developing this important life skill as she has been selected for the Basic Fitness and Sports Course at Blackdown Cadet Training Centre from July 29 to August 16. This three-week Basic Fitness and Sports course provides cadets an opportunity to participate in fitness and sports activities, and to develop knowledge and skills on how to perform the duties of a Fitness and Sports Assistant.

in activities like following a personal fitness routine, leading warm-up and cool-down sessions, assisting with the Cadet Fitness Assessment and assisting with recreational sports. Cadet D’Angio’s favourite part about the training so far has been participating in sports training, such as playing team sports like volleyball, and making new friends. She’s fitting right in with past experience at home corps being a part of the Marksmen Team at her home corps and many sports teams at her school, New Lowell Public School. There are approximately 430 cadets who complete the Basic Fitness and Sports Course at Blackdown just like Cadet Cadet D’Angio. Blackdown is the place where (See “Leadership” on page 5)

by Judi Parker Creemore community groups had their first look at the preliminary design for the Creemore Village Green on August 1 at Station on the Green. The lead designers, Jennifer Nagai and Madoc Hill, from PFS Studios, described their thinking process, stressing the importance of local history and community needs in the preliminary design of the reimagined space. Sixteen representatives of Creemore community groups including the BIA, Farmers’ Market, Station on the Green, Creemore Horticultural Society, Creemore Legion, Log Cabin and Jail, Purple Hills Arts and History Society, Councillor Thom Paterson, and the Village Green Build Team attended the meeting. Consensus was that the majority of community wishes were well-represented in the design. Everyone in attendance had the opportunity to provide feedback on the design and many offered constructive comments for future design iterations. All community members are invited to attend when PFS designers present two versions of drawings for the Village Green, both reflecting the input from community groups, at a public meeting on Saturday, Aug.10 at 4:00 p.m. at Station on the Green. The Creemore Community Foundation is hosting this meeting to ensure that the public has an opportunity to view the designs and comment on them. Community members who are unable to attend the August 10 meeting will be able to view the designs at www.creemorevillagegreen.com beginning August 11 To ensure all members of the public have an opportunity to comment, the foundation is offering two ways to submit feedback. Comments may be emailed to sass.dempsey@gmail.com or by placing comments in collection boxes at several locations around the (See “Community” on page 5)

Summer construction on Airport Road

A 3.75 km watermain is being installed on Airport Road, south of Stayner, from Margaret Street to the Stayner water reservoir. Clearview Township treasurer Edward Henley reported that the current pipe is being replaced with a larger one to accommodate current and future anticipated growth in Stayner. “The project was first identified in the 2009 Development Charge Background Study however development was minimal until recently and now several new subdivisions are under construction or have model homes in place and a large senior’s complex including longterm care has been approved by the Province and is required to be open by January 2022. These projects require increased water flows that the project will, in part, provide,” reported Henley. Council agreed Monday to borrow $6 million to complete the project, with

TWO HERITAGE

the intention of going to developers for contributions toward the cost. Henley said, in the end, the municipality may not end up borrowing the full amount. “It is anticipated that the actual amount to be borrowed will be much less as the budget assumes that developers will fund a significant portion of the project. Clearview Council still has final approval over the amount being borrowed when it comes time to approve the borrowing by-law,” reported Henley. The project, included in the 2019 budget, is currently under construction and the speed limit in the area has been reduced to 60 km/h until completion. Deputy director of public works Dan Perreault said it is common practice for speed limits to be officially reduced in construction zones, and signs changed, because otherwise the lowered speed limit is not enforceable by the OPP.

OPINION COLUMN

Spending time in nature can benefit your health! by Erica Thompson During the summer, many Canadians long to experience the great outdoors but research shows fewer of us are doing so these days. A recent survey commissioned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) found that 87 per cent of respondents felt happier, healthier and more productive when connected to nature. But 74 per cent said it is simply easier to spend time indoors and 66 per cent said they spend less time in nature now compared to when they were younger. An increasing number of medical studies show spending time in nature provides us with physical and mental health benefits. Here are three easy-toaccess nature programs, along with ways to prepare for a safe and enjoyable time on trails, in our forests, lakes and coasts. Whether you’re an indoor enthusiast or a next-level naturalist, a new, fun six-question online Nature Quiz (naturequiz.ca) will give people a Nature Score to find out how connected you are to nature. Then, you can sign up for Nature Coach and receive weekly email tips on how to have a happier, healthier life by spending time outdoors. If people are looking for places to explore, check out Naturedestinations.ca. It features nearly 40 natural areas, from all ten provinces to see. Detailed information on locations, including interactive maps, species to spot, trail information, tips on what to bring and easy-to-follow directions can all be found online. People may also get involved first hand in caring for nature. There are dozens of community events listed at conservationvolunteers.ca. Activities range from tree planting to removing invasive species, improve hiking trails, carry out bird counts and species inventories, clean up plastics and marine debris at a shoreline cleanup, help endangered birds, or plant native wildflowers as part of local restoration efforts.

Helpful tips

Before heading out, check the weather forecast and trail conditions. In addition to sunscreen, bug spray and proper clothing, download trail maps and interpretive information, bring binoculars to view birds and species from a safe distance, a reusable water bottle, first aid kit, tissues, pocket knife, healthy snacks, recyclable food waste bags and a cell phone (for emergencies). When planning your activity, whether it is swimming, canoeing or hiking, know your own ability and limits. Familiarize yourself with your surroundings ahead of time, pack a map and review your trail. During bear and cougar season, it is recommended to travel in groups, and you should always tell someone where you are going and when to expect your return.

THE WAY WE WERE

Dunedinite Bill Anderson brought in this picture taken in 1951 when he worked with Gord Murphy of Barrie and John Smith of Angus. They were working on the building of Highway 400 from Barrie to Toronto. He paid $3900 for his truck that he bought in Collingwood. He filled it with gas that cost 32 cents a gallon and billed $3.50 an hour for his service.

Be aware of species

When outdoors, you’ll often see different plants, birds and wildlife, helping us gain a greater appreciation of nature. Downloading and using the mobile app iNaturalist is a great way to learn what species are in an area, post photos and contribute to citizen science. Something to be aware of in parts of Canada are blacklegged ticks (also called deer ticks). Ticks themselves are not dangerous, but they can carry various bacterial diseases that are harmful to humans. Lyme disease, for example, is an infectious disease spread by blacklegged tick bites. To protect yourself against ticks, wear bug repellant, long sleeves, lightcoloured clothing, tuck everything in (including your pants into your socks), stay in the middle of trails, take a bath or shower after a hike and always check your clothes and body for ticks after a hike because they can be as small as a poppy seed. Another species to be aware of is poison ivy. Poison ivy is a plant with three leaves with notched edges and pointed tips. If contact is made, poison ivy can cause patches of swollen redness, intense itching and possible blisters.

sara@creemore.com

What to wear

Trail ready clothing allows your body to regulate its temperature and moisture, and will help avoid potential friction. In the hot summer weather, quickdry materials are more comfortable, and appropriate footwear (waterproof shoes or hiking boots) will positively affect your outdoor experience and reduce trip-ups on roots and rocks. Check the weather forecast and if rain is in the picture, pack accordingly. To avoid extensive sun exposure and prevent insect bites, it is best to wear long sleeves and pants. Wear a hat, and apply insect repellent and sunscreen, even if you are sheltered by trees. Erica Thompson is a Creemore resident and director of engagement with the Nature Conservancy of Canada.

LETTER

There is help for Creemore Cats, just ask Dear Editor, Many years ago in Creemore the feral cat situation was completely out of hand. Cats were being abandoned or dropped off and they were breeding quite successfully. It was heart breaking. Hence, Creemore Cats came into being. We were and still are a small group of volunteers; working to address the problem by following the successful, well documented, humane procedures of other municipalities which have adopted Trap, Spay/Neuter and Release programs. We have several colonies in Creemore and the cats are fed and watered daily, and provided with insulated shelters. Since we began, we have spayed or neutered well over 200 cats. Clearview Council has supported our efforts with grants, and for the last few years we have worked in conjunction with Clearview Cats, also funded by Council. Often we are fortunate enough to receive donations from folks who are very grateful for our support with their cat problems. We also run the coffee booth at the market a number of times each year to raise funds and awareness. 2019 saw us breathing a little easier and proud of our efforts. However, this summer has been a bit of an eye opener for us. First, a family on Elizabeth Street

reached out. They had had an abandoned cat around their home all winter. They provided her with food and shelter and she became much more sociable. They did not really want a cat but it was the kind thing to do. They called us in June, for help when it became obvious that she was now pregnant. With our help, they trapped her, got her in for a spay, and received her back to their home, after she had recovered. At the beginning of July, the dog of a Creemore Cat member on King St., kept barking at their shed. Upon examination a tiny kitten was found to have been placed inside the shed. No food or water had been provided. The temperature that day soared to over 32 degrees and the humidity was very high. Had that kitten not been discovered quickly and rescued, it would have died a slow and painful death. Later in the month an abandoned cat showed up in my backyard on Caroline St. I was successful in trapping this young male and got him neutered and vaccinated. Unfortunately, he found the whole experience in the trap and the transportation back and forth to The Georgian Triangle Humane Society so stressful, that he was really traumatized. They determined he was too wild to keep, and asked me to take him back. I did. Every day he becomes more and more sociable as he interacts with humans who are caring and kind

…. and provide great meals! None of these three situations are necessary! They were all caused by irresponsible people. Whoever left the kitten in the shed was heartless as well as irresponsible. Please people, SPAY and NEUTER your pets! If you need help to do so, please contact the GTHS for assistance through Clearview Cats. If you have a pet and find that you are no longer capable of caring for it, PLEASE surrender it to the GTHS. Do the humane thing. Do not turn it out or leave it behind when you move. Domestic cats are companion animals. They are not equipped to survive in the wild, particularly not through the winter. And if you have a hour to spare every week and would like to help care for our colonies, we are always looking for reliable volunteers. Please give me a call at 705-466-3822.

THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, August 9, 2019 •

Sharing is caring for local women Approximately 170 women from Creemore, Wasaga, Stayner, Collingwood, Thornbury, Meaford and more who meet four times a year for just one hour have raised over $125,000 in just two years. The formula works for the almost 1000 chapters in North America. Members of "100 Women Who Care" commit to 4 meetings a year and to donating $100 at each meeting for the local charity nominated and then selected by members. Members can nominate a local registered charity. Three of the nominated charities are randomly selected to make a presentation at an upcoming meeting to explain how their charity would use these funds. Members vote and then make their $100 contribution directly to the charity. All donations receive a tax receipt. Members who cannot attend will receive an email after the meeting with the results and can pay on line. They can also vote by proxy. The following groups have benefited and in turn funded opportunities in the community: - Barbara Weider House to help homeless young adults who have lost support from their families - Salvation Army, a project focusing on at risk adults who can be on their own and need basic health and shelter support

Farm to Table Summer Dinner Series

This summer, Headwaters Food and Farming Alliance (HFFA) presents three dinners at three farms in the region to raise funds for their Farm to School programs. Not So Hollow Farm in Mulmur will be the host on Saturday, Sept. 14. All three evenings will feature locally grown menus prepared by local chefs and served with local beverages. The dinners are in aid programs, which have been running for 5 years in Dufferin and Caledon, to educate children about local food and farming, eating well and connecting with community. The Local Food Club is a mealin-a-bag program supplying locally

sourced ingredients and seasonal recipes in fun orange bags for families to order throughout the school year. The program operated in 12 schools during the 2018-2019 school year, packing 100 bags, feeding an average of 400 people a locally sourced meal each month. Local Food Club connects families in the kitchen and the community with their local farmers to everyone’s benefit. Parents, kids and farmers alike love participating this program. The Farm to School programs also include Education Workshops, which feature farmer visits, hands-on food activities, lesson plans and curriculum links for kindergarten to Grade 8.

Teachers and students give these workshops an enthusiastic A+. “Teaching kids at an early age about where their food comes from and eating healthy, will have a profound consequence in later life,” says Program Coordinator Adelle Barr-Klouman. There are many schools on the waiting list hoping to receive programming next year, while the organization works on building capacity to meet this demand. The Farm to Table Dinner Series is an opportunity for the public to support HFFA programs and to spend time on a farm to see first-hand how and where their food comes from. Rockcliffe Farm’s young owner Alix

Bezak, host of the first dinner in the series, says, “We are proud to feed our children what we raise and we hope you will be too.” To purchase tickets, visit hffa.ca. The dinner series is generously sponsored by Anne and Tony Arrell of Mulmur. For more information or to become a sponsor contact Marci at 416346-5511 or marcilipman@gmail.com. Headwaters Food and FarmingAlliance (HFFA) is a collaborative of various community partners and volunteers who support activities to enhance local food and farming in Dufferin County and the Town of Caledon. HFFA is a project of Headwaters Communities in Action (HCIA).

THANK YOU To whom it may concern: On Thursday, August 1 at 7 p.m., my husband left his wallet in the washroom of The Ultramar Gas Station, in Singhampton, on our way home from the cottage. He was worried sick when he didn’t have it when leaving for work the next morning, (the start of the Civic Holiday Long Weekend). We called the sttendant at 5:30 a.m. on Friday morning, hoping someone might have found it & turned it in. Yes, our hopes & dreams had come true! Bruce’s wallet was there! According to what the gentleman told us (without looking inside), “everything still appeared intact”. We didn’t care about the money, it was the cards & I.D.s, etc. that was the most important. (going through the hassle of replacing it all would have been a horrible & mentally exhausting event) Friday, August 2 after work we drove up to Singhampton to retrieve the wallet & it was all there, including the money! (of course we had to have a Celebratory Dinner at Mylar and Loreta’s Restaurant...lol) It was at 4 p.m. we saw the same attendant (from the morning phone call) just starting his shift, & he said, “He didn’t find it, it was turned into him by a women from Collingwood, he thought”. We don’t know who it might have been, but... we owe her a world of thanks for the thoughtfulness, caring, and honesty she portrayed! With all that is not good or wrong in the world anymore these days, there are still great trusting people & happenings going on out there too. Thank you, dear kind lady. Sincerely, Cheryl & Bruce Knowlton Of Riverview, Ontario. 519-923-3922.

SHARPE, (Howard) Dean Passed away unexpectedly, at Southlake Regional Health Centre, Newmarket on Wednesday, July 31, 2019, at 73 years of age. Dean was the second son of the late Samuel and Verna Sharpe. He will be sadly missed by his brothers Dale and Don, sister Kathy, his nieces and nephews and their families. Dean was a loving father to Cameron and his wife Joanne who will miss him deeply. He adored their children, Hannah and Matthew, who will miss his love and special grandpa hugs. He will be greatly missed by his devoted wife of 38 years, Terri Jackman, who now has a big hole in her heart. Dean had many friends among his neighbours and colleagues. He was a craftsman of many careers, including commercial printer, log home builder and building inspector. He was truly happy working with his hands in his workshop or garden. He was a great lover of nature and animals who, like those who knew him, sensed his kind heart and caught the twinkle in his eye. His family would like to thank the numerous friends and relatives who offered kind words of encouragement, love and support through this difficult time. Special thanks to the New Lowell firefighters and EMS and the care teams at Collingwood, Royal Victoria and Southlake hospitals for their professionalism and compassionate care. Dean will be thought of often with much love and he will be deeply missed. A Memorial Service will be held in the future with details to follow. Arrangements under the care of the Carruthers & Davidson Funeral Home. To sign Dean’s Book of Memories, please visit www.carruthersdavidson.com.
