Greenspace added to Village Green concept by Trina Berlo A greener Village Green was presented to the community on Sunday, Sept. 22, when about 75 people were at Station on the Green for the unveiling of a proposed redesign of the TD Bank property, Hort Park and Station on the Green property. Designer Jennifer Nagai, of PFS Studio in Vancouver, said changes to the design were made as a result of comments from the public calling for fewer raised beds, less concrete, more grass, the preservation of existing trees, more seating and space for children to play. Nagai said the design has also been amended to frame the fountain within the expanded garden and increase its visibility from Mill Street and other angles. She said the public indicated they didn’t love the strong diagonal design marking the old rail line that went through the property. The new design opts instead for “a criss-crossing of geometries to reduce the prominence of the diagonal,” the central wide walkway from Mill Street leading to
PFS concept
Village Green designer , of PFS Studio presented a new design at a Sept. 22 public meeting, incorporating public input. the main entrance of Station on the Green. Coming the other way from the Station parking lot – where it was decided the Farmers’ Market should remain – a zigzagging pathway would create a “garden stroll” and a visual buffer to the parking lot. A larger lawn has been added to the design, along with additional trees. The space allotted for the Horticultural
Society, said president Judi Parker, will be equal or more than what is currently existing and that members of the society will have complete control of the curation and care of the beds. The gardens will be visible from more angles and will become features of the new Village Green, she said. “That history is not being lost,” said (See “Design” on page 5)

Stayner Heritage Society banners honour local veterans by Trina Berlo New banners have gone up on the main street of Stayner this week honouring 26 local veterans. The banners, with photos and names of people who served in the world wars, have been installed on light standards by The Stayner Heritage Society, with support from the families of the veterans. In this first phase of the project, men and one woman who served in the Second World War were selected, along with three First World War veterans. Several of them returned home after the war and made important contributions to the community, The initiative stemmed from a passion project of Stayner resident Tom Scholte. He started out making a book and video of local veterans, collecting pictures and stories. Many of the names are still prominent in the community today and links can be made to current residents. “It has become a very emotional project,” said Scholte. “It has been a good project for the Heritage Society and it will carry on into the future,” said Heritage Society member Myrna Johnson. There is a plan to do a second printing, adding another 22 veterans. They just need the township to install more of the light standards that can accommodate banners, said Johnson, laughing. She noted that other towns, especially
in the United States, are good at publicly recognizing the contributions of their hometown soldiers. “It’s a great way to honour our veterans,” said Johnson. “They went away to war and when they came back, it wasn’t really talked about. It was kind of forgotten.” It is good timing, said Scholte, as this year marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. “I think this project will bring this community together and it will bring people out to see them,” said Scholte, adding that there is already a lot of interest from local youth in the area. “It is cross generational in that it will touch our generation and two generations below us.” The Stayner Heritage Society is hosting a dedication of the Veterans Memorial Banners at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28 at the Stayner Cenotaph, located at town hall, 217 Gideon St. A reception will follow at the Stayner Legion. The banners will stay up until Remembrance Day. Banner veterans: Ken Allen, Army WWII Russ Baker, RCAF WWII Oss Burkholder, Navy WWII Arnott Carruthers, Army WWII Gordon Charman, Army WWII Walter Clemence, RCAF WWII Dr. Raymond E Ives, Army WWI Ken Kerr, RCAF WWII Tom Lowe, Army WWII

THE WAY WE WERE
EDITORIAL
Make way for today's youth Ongoing climate strikes have people talking. Politicians claim to be listening. If anything good comes out of these strikes and the global attention they are receiving it is that youth will find their voice and some hope in the promise that together they will try to repair the damage done to this planet so that they can come out from under the dark cloud of climate change. The young Greta Thunberg has said that a sense of terror and panic is what has driven her to speak out and call for mobilization but we need this generation to be energized with the possibilities of innovation, not weighed down by fear. It is a tough time to be the up and coming citizens of planet earth. They are constantly criticized as being a generation of techno geeks, glued to their phones, lacking in social skills and motivation. No matter how many good decisions are made by individuals of whatever age, no matter the sacrifice, the depravation, there are some polluters that have no intention of sacrificing their bottom line for the sake of polar ice. The young people striking today will hopefully be the law makers of the near future and will put in place measures to radically curb consumption and penalize those who scoff at warnings of rising sea levels and droughts. Thunberg is right. It is terrifying and most of us are paralyzed by it. We know that recycling and planting trees isn’t really going to solve the problem on a global scale but we need something to keep us going each day. Certain generations have failed to address the problem, opting instead for decades of denial. Other generations have had their chance in office and weren’t able to break through the lobby stronghold. Who better than a generation of young, intelligent, tech savvy, anti consumer, non-materialists to break through? If the old guard would step aside and admit they either don’t know what to do or haven’t been persuasive enough to bring their plans to fruition, a space could be made for answers. The scientists are certain, the data has been collected and yet there is still a wall to climb over. We have to believe that these youth that are making waves are the ones who will work together to dig under it if they must, for their survival. So encourage your children to become activists because even if the act of striking in itself doesn’t make for tangible change it certainly won’t hurt. But maybe they will feel a spark and one day remember that climate change has been a constant theme in their lives and will inform their every decision. Hopefully it will keep them from being absorbed into the current ethos and make climate action the only acceptable option.

Medals available from Korea, France Editor: I would like to inform your readers about two very special medals that are available for our veterans. These are the National Order of the Legion of Honour from France and the Ambassador for Peace Medal from the Republic of Korea. Our veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War have both fought hard and made tremendous sacrifices, and they have both won the greatest level of respect and thanks we can give them. The Government of France is awarding their highest medal to all living Canadian veterans who directly helped to liberate their country between June 6 and August 30, 1944. The Republic of Korea is presenting its Ambassador for Peace Medal to all Canadian Veterans who participated in the Korean War and its peace keeping operations between 1950 and 1955. Living veterans or the families of veterans who have passed away may be eligible to receive this special medal from Korea. If you are a veteran or know someone that is, and who might be eligible for one of these important medals, please contact me. I am an unofficial volunteer who is willing to help you with your application.
There is no fee involved. For more information please contact me C/O 515 95 Moody Street, Port Moody, BC V3H0H2 or e-mail Korea19501953@yahoo.com and include the subject “Veterans Medals”. Guy Black, Recipient, Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation and the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers, Port Moody.
Village Green still looks like a big city park Editor: The latest design proposal for the TD lands is certainly environmentally friendly. If you want to see what a big city park looks like you don’t have to waste gas and drive all the way to Toronto, you can just come to Creemore. Paul Vorstermans, Creemore.

Design goes to council (Continued from page 1) Parker. “We will continue to work on the site we have been working since 1925.” There is a covered stage in the plan that is currently located on the existing TD property. The stage is located on a stepped wooden platform surrounded by café style seating. Nagai said the goal is that the stage supports current Mill Street programming, but can also be used as seating and a place for informal community use. Some of the ideas are framed as imaginings rather than solid proposals, including additional jets around the fountain to create an informal waterpark, adjacent to an area with colourful blocks where children can hop from one to the next. Creemore Community Foundation co-founder Stuart Lazier said the plan as presented is “85 per cent of the way there but still needs some tweaking.” Attendees seemed to be in agreement

with people commenting that this revised design was an improvement on the first, acknowledging that public input had been heard. Lazier said they will be raising $2.1 million in funds, of which a portion has already been raised. A $1 million endowment fund is being established for operating expenses, which includes a full time program coordinator and a part time maintenance person. The proposal is to lease the municipal property for one dollar a year, in order to program and maintain the space. The whole proposal is still up for council approval. Lazier gave an update to Clearview council members on Sept. 23, in advance of the project going back to council on Oct. 7. Lazier told councillors that the “closing date” for the TD Bank property transfer has already been pushed back so they need to get it approved at the Oct. 7 meeting so the transfer of property can be finalized by the end of October.

Farm tour helps to dispel farming myths by Trina Berlo The community is invited to visit select farms in Dufferin County Saturday to learn about modern farming. Five farms located in Mono and Amaranth will open their gates to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This year’s theme is where innovation and technology meets traditional farming, showcasing how digital technology is making a difference in traditional farming and land management. Jeanette McFarlane, one of the organizers, said modern farmers are using drones, robots and RFID chips to manage land and monitor livestock to make sure each animal is getting what they need. On the tour is a dairy farm, a beef farm, a school of horsemanship, a Christmas tree farm, with wagon rides and a visit from Santa, and a one acre intensive four season vegetable farm. There will be added attractions at each farm and food options available. The farm tour, formerly known as the Dufferin Town and Country Farm Tour, was started by a group of farmers, who 20 years ago realized there was an influx of city commuters moving into the area. “It was almost like we were all living in the same space but it was like two different worlds,” said McFarlane. The idea was to invite people to the farms so they could learn and have their questions answered. “There’s all sorts of misinformation and myth, even back then, that wasn’t fair and wasn’t right, for people to make these claims and assumptions,” she said. “There is such a disconnect now and
people don’t realize it.” She said people come to the farmers’ market in Mulmur in June and wonder why there isn’t any corn and apples available. She tells them it’s growing and they’ll have to wait until… “You watch the light go on but in this day and age, when you can get whatever you want when you want it, people have lost touch with what it takes to grow something in our climate and what’s in season,” said McFarlane. The tour has helped make connections with food and the people who produce it. She said people do want to support local food production and the tour has helped to improve relationships with farmers and newcomers. “It has grown in popularity because, especially for families with young kids. Kids don’t see where food comes from other than the grocery store so young families are really taking the time to show their kids where their food comes from and there is a relationship,” said McFarlane. The tour has evolved to include more environmental messaging. It takes more than 100 volunteers to make it happen. Admission is free but people are asked to bring a donation of a non-perishable food item for food banks in Shelburne and Orangeville. More than 3,000 pounds of food and almost $1,000 in cash was raised at last year’s event. Register online at dufferinfarmtour. com in order to receive an event passport. Anyone not able to sign up online can pick maps and passports at the information centre in Orangeville.

Bylaw department gets proactive by Trina Berlo Clearview’s bylaw department is switching from reactive to proactive and will be doing a blitz on property standards and clean yard bylaws. Council gave the order at its Sept. 23 meeting. Until now, bylaw officers have been directed to respond only to written complaints. In May, Councillor Robert Walker put forward a motion, which was carried, asking staff to explore “opportunities to increase customer service and furthermore look at the reactive versus the proactive approach of enforcement” and account for it in the 2020 budget. In 2018, the department received and investigated 785 complaints. “A proactive approach will require additional resources to educate and enforce bylaw infractions,” reported Senior By-law Enforcement Officer Joseph Paddock. “This approach can be helpful for officers. It provides an opportunity for officers to get ahead of some situations and deter any further bylaw infractions. It also takes the onus from residents to file complaints against their neighbours. As part of this initiative, staff will be bringing forward an amendment to the Clean and Clear By-law to permit proactive enforcement.” As a result council has approved increasing enforcement hours to evening and weekend coverage.

OBITUARY
JULIE EDITH DOREEN ROWBOTHAM May 3, 1961 - August 6, 2019 It is with shock and sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Julie Edith Doreen Rowbotham on Tuesday, August 6, 2019, at her home in Winnipeg. Julie was born Bernice Amy Henderson in Orillia, Ontario, on May 3, 1961. She was adopted by Earl and Doreen Rowbotham, just before her second birthday being raised in the small community of Dunedin, Ontario. For the past 30 years Julie lived a full life in Winnipeg working as a security guard and volunteering at two nursing homes and the local foodbank. In recent years, though, much of her time was spent helping others with disabilities. Julie is survived by her sister Susan (Rowbotham) Bowden and brothers Dale (Rose Rutherford) and Paul Rowbotham. Her daughters Melinda (Jason Ross) and Rebecca Anderson; grandchildren Nicole, Sean and Abbigail; and her beloved cat Munchkin. She is predeceased by both her biological and adoptive parents, along with her daughter Melissa Anne Rowbotham. Julie will be sorely missed by family, friends and acquaintances.

OFFICIAL PLAN REVIEW NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING The Township of Clearview has initiated a review of the Official Plan and will hold a Public Meeting pursuant to Section 26 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, as amended. The Township is seeking public input to this important planning initiative. Public Meeting Information: When: Monday November 04, 2019 at 6:30 pm Where: Council Chambers, Township of Clearview Administration Centre, 217 Gideon Street, Stayner, Ontario What is an Official Plan? The Official Plan is a statement of goals, objectives and policies to guide future growth, land use and development within the Township of Clearview for the next 20 years and beyond. The Township’s current Official Plan has been in effect since September 2001 and has a twentyyear planning period to the year 2021. The purpose of the current review is to establish a renewed long-term community perspective. Through this review, a new Official Plan will be prepared to replace the 2001 Official Plan and related amendments. Why are we reviewing our Official Plan? The Provincial Planning Act requires municipalities to review their Official Plans every five years, or ten years after a new Official Plan comes into effect, to ensure conformity with Provincial plans, policies and matters of Provincial interest. The Official Plan Review is a Township-wide initiative, affecting all land within the Township of Clearview. GSP Group Inc. has been retained by the Township to assist Staff with the process. Why your feedback is important: The purpose of the Public Meeting is to provide members of the public with information about the Official Plan Review process and how to participate. This is also an initial opportunity for public input to areas of the current Official Plan that should be changed or addressed differently in the new Official Plan, and to participate in shaping the future vision and direction for the Township of Clearview. There will be a number of other opportunities to participate in this process. The Township will be reaching out to stakeholder groups throughout the process. Anyone wishing to address Council with respect to the Official Plan Review will be given an opportunity to do so at the Public Meeting. You may provide written comments to Council up until the time of the Public Meeting. Additional opportunities to submit comments will
