Meet the candidates Oct. 15

CUPE gives walk-out notice As of Oct. 1 the Canadian Union of Public Employees’ (CUPE) work-torule job action is affecting the public’s use of schools. “As a result of this work-to-rule job action, all external permits in Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) schools and facilities will be indefinitely on hold,” said SCDSB in a labour update. “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and appreciate your patience and understanding.” Work-to-rule means a partial withdrawal of service by the employee group. In the SCDSB, CUPE represents our custodial and maintenance staff. Badminton, Zumba, Yoga, Clearview Kids Club and Jr. High Youth Club held in schools are cancelled as a result of the job action. On Wednesday, CUPE tweeted, “With school boards using education workers’ work-to-rule job action as an excuse to cut programs, services, and staffing in schools, CUPE gave the required five days’ notice of a fullfledged walkout that is scheduled to begin on Monday, Oct. 7.” “I’ll be frank: we had hoped workto-rule would force the parties to get together and agree to a deal. But that hasn’t happened, and now we’re hearing stories that cause us great concern,” said Laura Walton, president of CUPE’s Ontario School Board Council of Unions, which negotiates centrally on behalf of the union’s school board employees. “ Wi t h o u t a n y j u s t i f i c a t i o n whatsoever, some school boards are closing programs and sending workers home. Some boards are paying parents to do the work of CUPE members. Some are asking older students to collect younger students from the school bus. Across the province, boards are cutting services and putting students at risk,” said Walton, as she explained why she and her fellow CUPE members felt they had no choice but to escalate job action.

The Stayner Chamber of Commerce is hosting an all candidates meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 15. “We hope that informed and engage citizens who have a chance to meet their candidates are encouraged to participate in the Federal election,” said organizers. The public will have a chance to meet the candidates, hear a debate and participate in a Q&A. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the formal debate begins at 7 p.m. The Stayner Community Centre is located at 269 Regina St. Snacks and beverages will be available for purchase.

Linden Pottage, Sam Lemieux, Nettle Wiederer were among those who walked out of school last Friday to take part in a climate strike. These young protesters and their parents opted to go for a hike in the Creemore Nature Preserve, also known as The Mingay Tract. Others travelled to Collingwood to take part in a strike.

THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, October 4, 2019 •

Epic journey begins When Everything Falls Apart by Trina Berlo When Everything Falls Apart is the story of a family who decides to head north to their off-the-grid cabin after widespread power outage in Toronto. After their car is stolen, they escape the city, which is showing signs of becoming socially destabilized, in a canoe by way of the Humber River. In Book One: The End, the first in a trilogy, Creemore author Simon Heath set out to write a story about how everything would go wrong in such a scenario, but it didn't feel real. In developing the characters, it came to be that the real struggle was from within. “I had this idea of escaping from this crumbling urban wilderness and everything falling apart,” said Heath, but when he walked the bank of the Humber River, it wasn’t the urban wasteland he expected. He experienced beautiful green spaces, and believed it was more realistic that in these places people would come together and help each other. “We are kind of dominated by the American narrative around apocalypse, where someone goes to a cabin in the woods that they’ve got a stockpile of guns and that wasn’t my sense living in a community like this,” said Heath. That’s not to say there isn’t tension or danger but the true conflict is between the couple, who are each going through their own mid-life crises, while

A book launch for Creemore author Simon Heath's new book is happening this weekend during Creemore Festival of the Arts, along with a show of artwork by Steve McDonald who did the cover artwork. raising an eight-year-old daughter, and there's a baby on the way. “When you take away the power, you take away the underpinnings of your life,” said Heath referring to the mortgage, career advancement,

and planning for retirements. “When you hit your 40s, I think a lot of that comes into perspective…” he said. “But when the power goes out and you don’t have a job anymore, all of your abstract qualifications aren’t

necessarily applicable when it comes down to how do you just survive dayto-day, and feed your family. So, what you are left with are your basic human relations.” In his career heath has worked as a playwright and executive communications coach. He began working on the When Everything Falls Apart trilogy (Book Two: The Middle and Book: Three: The Beginning) at the time he was leaving the city to move north. The premise, said Heath, is based on a real possibility and well-researched scenario about how a solar flare, like the Carrington Event of 1859, could take out electrical grids, satellites and internet. He said, in the overall story arc, book one is about the family getting out of the city but there is a lot more to come in the next two books. When Everything Falls Apart is published by Curiosity House Books. There will be a launch at the bookstore from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5, with Heath reading and signing books around 3:30 p.m. The book will be sold for $19.95, plus tax. The event coincides with Creemore Festival of the Arts. Illustrator Steve McDonald has done the artwork for the trilogy’s covers. His work will be showing at the bookstore throughout the weekend.

LETTERS

Vote with the interests of youth in mind Editor: Last Friday I attended the climate strike in Collingwood. I was impressed and moved to see a large number of students from CCI and other youth take part in this demonstration. They carried signs and made speeches asking for action to be taken on climate change. Their message was clear, their futures and those of young people around the planet are at stake. They are demanding that action be taken. Many of these protesters are too young to vote so they are counting on those who can to do something. In

the upcoming election it is of critical importance that those who can vote look closely at the environmental policies of the party they are voting for. If the party you are considering does not have a clear and far reaching policy on how to address the most pressing issue of our time, climate change, don’t vote for them. The youth of this planet, including your own children and grand children are counting on you. Don’t let them down, time is running out. Basil Guinane, Creemore.

COLUMN

Settlers went to great lengths for schooling Stories abound coming down from our early settlers about the craving for an education, at least the ability to read and write and do a little arithmetic. They had been denied access to it England, Ireland and Helen BLACKBURN Scotland which is where practically all of the first people in this area came from. A quote from a Nottawasaga history, 1934, confirms this. Mr. Edward

LOCAL HISTORY

Federal elections can be tough to filter through a community lens, which is how we strive to approach every story here at The Creemore Echo in our ongoing mission to deliver hyper local, can’t-get-anywhereelse news. The issues on the federal stage are so wide in scope that it is easy to think of them as happening elsewhere, even though they affect us all. Pipelines, carbon tax, immigration, budgets with billions and trillions of dollars... It’s not easy to relate and too easy to tune out. But we must tune in. We don’t need polls and projections to tell us the riding of Simcoe-Grey (and Dufferin-Caledon) will likely go Conservative but we can still take the opportunity to learn a little something about the people who will be representing us on the hill and stick a few ideas in their heads before they go off to Ottawa. Elections are a wonderful time to get people talking, no matter what colour of blazer they are wearing. It is one of the times when people go from community to community knocking on doors and sparking up a conversation with their neighbours, and it’s considered normal. Debates are another great way to engage. There are a few happening in the area, where people will get a chance to see all the candidates in action, hear from their own lips how they stand on the issues. We will be covering those all-candidates meeting but to start off, in this issue, we are providing bios on each of the five candidates running in Simcoe Grey, presented in alphabetical order – Terry Dowdall for the Conservatives, Sherri Jackson for the Greens, Lorne Kenney for the Liberals, Ilona Matthews for the NDP, and Richard Sommers for the People’s Party of Canada. We hope this brief introduction will help provide a sense of the candidates and they parties the stand for. Readers are encouraged to look up the federal parties to read their platforms. CBC has created a platform comparator by issue that can be used as a jumping off point at newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/ federal/2019/party-platforms. In Canadian politics there isn’t a huge divide between the left and the right, for the most part, but there are some big issues up for debate. Our democratic system has its flaws but it is more effective with our participation.

Coyle told how, “he had gotten some schooling after his family moved to Sunnidale Township by walking four miles through the forest to the Separate School on the fourth line of Nottawsaga.” By piecing together information from Wikipedia, articles from Has the Bell Rung Yet by me, Helen Hargrave, and Agnes (Giffen) Douglas’s research in The Dowling Family History we have the story of the first separate school for the Irish Catholic settlement on the hill north of Creemore. These early settlers, after they had built themselves (Continued on next page)

THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, October 4, 2019 •

There was great rivalry between the Scotch and Irish (Continued from previous page) homes and barns, cleared some land and established agriculture, turned their thoughts to building a school for their children. Property was obtained, a 40- by 30-foot parcel on Lot 13, Concession 5 on the very north-eastern corner. The deed is dated Oct. 28, 1848. The school was a log structure and heated by a fireplace. The story about the building of the school is no doubt similar to the story of Creemore’s first school built on the other side of the valley which the Irish Catholics could see looking towards the south. In my imagination I see some of these Irish Catholics meeting the Protestants in early Creemore and talking about their school. The idea spread and in an article written by F. E. Webster in The Creemore Star, 1936, re the school built on the fourth line south of Creemore. Mr. Webster wrote, “These early settlers felt it was their plain duty to make some provision to have their boys and girls taught at least primary education... The old spirit of cooperation still prevailed amongst these brave men. They got together and settled the problem by all turning out and with the help of a team of oxen and sharp axes they built a log school in

one day. Within a short time a fireplace was built to keep the children warm in winter, and the other provisions provided... This all happened before a school section was organized in the Township of Nottawasaga.” The first separate school also provided reading, writing and arithmetic. One of the first teachers was Mr. J. Gribbon reputed to be a very religious man. Another teacher was Miss Bolster. She was a daughter of Mr. Bolster who ran the first store and post office on the north side of the river. It was in the duplex at the southeast corner of Mill and Edward Streets, recently torn down to make room for the Creemore Springs expansion. Miss Bolster later became the wife of Dr. Dack, an early physician in Creemore. The first public school on the hill north of Creemore was built on Lot 13, Concession 4. However when a new school was built it was on the north-western corner of Lot 12, the site where today we see the brick school now turned into a residence. B y 1 8 5 4 t h e To w n s h i p o f Nottawasaga was given authority by the provincial government to support public schools and provide some funds from taxes. Previously the schools operated by fees provided by the

families, often in the way of wood for heating. The first separate school belonging to the Irish Catholic settlement was closed in 1865 and the children all attended the public school. This remained the situation even after C o n f e d e r a t i o n w h e n C a n a d a ’s constitution provided for the provision of separate schools wherever there were Catholics in the population. Mrs. F. Giffen tells what happened when the Catholics joined the Protestants in one school. “There was great rivalry in those days between the Scotch and the Irish. Good natured

though they were (comment by H.B. I believe the feelings were not quite so good natured, given the attitudes of the time.) They both loved a bit of a scuffle, so let it come the 12th of July or St. Patrick’s Day the fists were flying, if nothing more than to add a little colour to an otherwise dull day, or just to let the other fellow know that the old grudge was still smouldering.” Now, of course, the children from the hills around Creemore come by bus to Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School and concern themselves with other matters other than religious denomination. Squirrel! Lisa Williams snapped a picture of this unusual critter in her own yard. According to the internet, white-tip tailed squirrels are uncommon but the color variation can come from a recessive trait that will occasionally appear in the genetic line. If the mother has a white tail, that characteristic is carried to its offspring.

Highlanders plan for championship in 20th year by Trina Berlo To mark its 20th year the Beinn Gorm Highlanders are heading to the World Pipe Band Championships in Scotland and they are doing some fundraising to help get them there. The band is registered to compete at the Glasgow event in August of 2020, at the encouragement of Pipe Major Sheila Stewart, co-founder of the Beinn Gorm (meaning Blue Mountains in Gaelic) Highlanders. The band has more than 40 members ranging in age from eight (drummer Becca Maher and piper Ruby Boucher) to 91 (Jim Macmillan). Of those planning to go, members have committed to paying their own airfare and are arranging for accommodation but they are also fundraising to pay for fees, transportation within Scotland and other incidentals. This is the first time the band is competing in the world championships. They perform at no cost at many local events, churches, schools and nursing homes and have provided free instruction in bagpiping and drumming since forming in 2000. On Saturday, Nov. 2, Beinn Gorm Highlanders will be putting on a concert and hosting a silent auction. They are looking for donations for the auction and have created a program for family, friends and community members to show their support. Four donation levels ranging from

their request. To donate, contribute to the silent auction, or for tickets contact piper Tim Armour at 705-466-3009. The November 2 concert will be at

New Life Church in Collingwood, at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $30. Tickets are also available at The Creemore Echo or from any member of the band.

2019 Federal Election Candidate profiles

Richard Sommer, People's Party of Canada Richard Sommer has taken an unpaid leave of absence from his job as Principal at Alliston Community Christian School to run as a People’s Party of Canada (PPC) candidate for Simcoe-Grey, after the previous candidate Jeff Harris withdrew for personal reasons. S o m m e r i s Richard Sommer originally from the Hamilton-Wentworth area. He and his wife started their little family in Niagara where he was a young teacher/school administrator. From there, they grew their family to eight kids – five plus three adopted ones. They served overseas in Papua New Guinea with international schools from 2002 to 2009 and again from January 2015 to December 2017. They currently have three married children with another two in post-secondary, and the youngest three are in elementary school. They also operate a fledgling business called LifeStamp.

“Running for the PPC in this election is part of what we sing in our National Anthem: We stand on guard for thee,” said Sommer. He sees the issues of freespeech, smaller and accountable government, equality and respect as important issues in this election. As a son of immigrant parents, he wishes we could help all immigrants, but at some level we have to protect our wellbeing as Canadians too. He likens that to their family where they would have loved to adopt more children in need, but there comes a point where the burden becomes so great that you begin to compromise your core. He wishes to see increased east-west trade in Canada and less foreign aid payouts until we are not needing that ourselves, good stewardship of the environment, but no panic reactions (increased taxes) about the changes in climate since they are not proven to be caused by humans. PPC supports and promotes the founding values of Canada while also aggressively pursuing what will be good for all Canadians, such as balancing the budget in two years. Sommer also brings years of education and administration experience.

their new non-working years with access to money tax free. Using the Honeymoon Fund for the first two to three years helps you adjust to a new budgeted lifestyle while other savings such as RSPs continue to grow. TFSAs are also good as an emergency saving account for those savers who want their investment to grow tax-free and still have access to their funds at anytime. Money can be withdrawn without restrictions, however be careful when replacing those funds at a later date. Deposits back into your TFSA will be restricted to your annual contribution and any over payments may be subject to penalties. John, I would recommend you keep your TFSA and use it. When it comes to your bank, ask for what you want; it is the best way to ensure you will get it. Ultimately, you must have control, if you don’t have a banker concerned about getting you debt free and wealthy, then get another one. Remember, you will be the only one to blame if you don’t have enough at retirement. Good Luck and Best Wishes, Money Lady.

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.
