“To know that our councillors have to think about what they’re promoting and if they’re going to be making money. They should be focused on the right thing and not their bank accounts,” she said. “People need to be aware that there
are citizens that care about this and we just don’t want [council] to be passing things they shouldn’t be passing. It shouldn’t happen. It should be fair, it should be democratic.” Beauregard said she launched the (See “Pecuniary” on page 2)
COVID-19 cases creeping up by Trina Berlo With back to school and another jump in local cases of COVID-19, Simcoe Muskoka’s Medical Officer of Health said he remains concerned. Dr. Charles Gardner is urging people to screen for symptoms before going to school, or work. “What’s really key for parents right now is to screen your children each day before they go to school to make sure that they don’t have any symptoms or signs of COVID-19, and if they do develop any symptoms that they are to be excluded from school,” said Gardner. “Even if you have one symptom, that’s enough to stay home.” Health guidelines state that students and staff cannot attend school if
they have even one new symptom of COVID-19 that lasts more than a few hours. This does not apply to known symptoms related to seasonal allergies. He said if a student does develop symptoms, parents would then need to seek medical advice on how to proceed. A child that has had a COVID-19 test because of symptoms, but has tested negative, may return to school when they have been free of symptoms for at least 24 hours, provided they haven’t come in contact with someone who is confirmed to be an active case. “In those instances, they stay off for a full 14 days in order to make sure they’re not transmissible with COVID-19, even if they have a negative test. It’s a precautionary

Lawsuit filed in response to ATV motion by Trina Berlo Creemore resident Elise Beauregard has filed a lawsuit against Clearview council member John Broderick, claiming he had a conflict of interest in championing ATV access on all township roads. Broderick is the council member who, on July 27, brought forward a motion to allow all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and side-by-sides access to all township roads. The motion was eventually amended to call for “greater access” to township roads versus access to all township roads, road allowances, undeveloped roads and trail systems. The concern is related to the fact that Broderick is the owner of J&R Cycle in Stayner, which sells off-road vehicles. The Echo could not reach Broderick for comment this week. When asked what she hoped for as an outcome, Beauregard said, “Best case scenario everything would be put on hold for some time and hopefully on top of that we’re not going to revisit the ATV access to everything.”

measure to protect the school environment,” said Gardner. As cases continue to increase, even before students and teachers were back in class. “I think it’s important that people be mindful of who’s vulnerable now that children are heading to school – that’s another opportunity for transmission,” said Gardner. He said to avoid a second wave, it is more important than ever for people to adhere to public health guidelines by wearing a mask, physical distancing and hand washing. There is a screening tool online at covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment. The case count for Simcoe Muskoka is at 738, with 31 of those classified as active.
New arrest made in March shooting New charges have been laid in a shooting that happened in the Township of Clearview back in March. On Sept. 2, police executed a warrant in Scarborough and arrested 33-yearold Marvin Lattif. He is charged with: robbery using a firearm; Careless use of a firearm; Indignity to a dead body; Attempting to commit murder using firearm; Discharging a firearm with intent; Aggravated assault; Break and enter; Occupying a vehicle known to contain a firearm; and Possession of a firearm in contravention of a prohibition order. An arrest warrant has also been issued for Rick Christopher Graham, 32, of Brampton, who is facing charges in relation to this case. The shooting took place March 2 at a residence on Collingwood Clearview Townline, near 36/37 Nottawasaga Sideroad. A male victim was transported to hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries. Members of the Toronto Police Service (TPS) located a deceased male that same morning in the City of Toronto, believed to have succumbed to his injuries as a result of the shooting. The deceased has been identified as Rohan Rose, 36, of Toronto. A 48-year-old Toronto resident was previously charged in this case. If you know the whereabouts of the wanted male please contact the Huronia West Detachment of the OPP at 705-429-3575 or the Provincial Communication Centre at 1-888310-1122. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous is asked to report online at www.crimestopperssdm.com or call 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). The investigation is continuing under the direction of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) with assistance from TPS.

Pecuniary interest tops concerns
(Continued from page 1) lawsuit on her own but has since accepted financial assistance from Clearview Township United, a group of residents "vigorously opposed to greater ATV access and outraged by the abuse of power and conflict of interest" by Broderick. Although she has concerns with ATVs, Beauregard said she was more bothered by the perceived pecuniary interest on Broderick’s part. “ATVs, yes I have a position about that, but at the end of the day that’s not what my issue is,” said Beauregard. She said she is not against the status quo of allowing ATVs limited access to roads, but is against increased access. She said she is against going against the law, including those ATVers who are not respecting the current laws by coming into town. Beauregard said she has already felt push back from pro-ATVers but she said this lawsuit is not meant as a widespread attack, it is to hold accountable the integrity commissioner and Councillor Broderick’s decision at the council table. “I want to clear up a misconception about an Integrity Commissioner. The Integrity Commissioner is paid to provide advice to councillors. They do not uphold law, or decide law. Just like your accountant may suggest a deduction on your tax return, the CRA can still tell you that your accountant was wrong,” said Beauregard in a statement. “I think the Integrity Commissioner’s advice is wrong. And there is an Ontario statute that allows any resident to ask a judge to review these exact types of situations. Anyone can do it. I grew up around lawyers. I’m comfortable with this and decided to be that person. We have great rights and freedoms in Canada, but the system requires ordinary people to demand good government.” – With files from Bonnie MacPherson

Participants gathered last year for Creemore's Terry Fox Run. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the end of the Marathon of Hope and because of the pandemic, people are asked to participate their way on Sept. 20.
Terry Fox Run. One day. Your Way. by Trina Berlo Because people cannot come together at this time, organizers of the local Terry Fox Run are encouraging people to participate on Sept. 20, however and wherever they can. This year’s marks the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope, during which Terry Fox ran close to a marathon a day for 143 days. “Forty years ago today, my brother Terry had to stop his Marathon of Hope when his cancer returned. He promised us all that if there was any way he could finish, he would. It was not to be,” said Terry’s brother Fred Fox in a message to event organizers. “I have been asked if Terry was angry that cancer took away his Marathon and, ultimately, his life. He wasn’t. Terry believed his cancer diagnosis gave him a sense of purpose, made him a more caring person. I believe that if we could ask Terry today if he would choose his life over how he inspired $800 million for cancer research, he would still take the path that saw his sacrifice make a difference. Cancer didn’t take anything from Terry.”
That research has increased the five-year cancer survival rate from 25 per cent in the 1940s to 63 per cent now. This year, people are urged to collect donations and participate in whatever way they want. The local run has always welcomed runners, walkers, roller bladers, and equestrians to do a five- or 10-kilometre route. The Creemore event is small and organizers are trying to build it up. Nevertheless, the local event raised $3,670 last year. “For a small community, we’ve still been able to raise some funds for research,” said organizer Keddy Williams. “The more you learn about cancer and how far the research has taken us in terms of people’s survival, it’s totally worthwhile. It’s about being Canadian because I think for many of us, Terry has a soft spot in our hearts.” Register online at terryfox.ca/terryfoxrun/ creemore.

Smile cookie proceeds support Humane Society, school nutrition programs Tim Hortons is hosting its annual Smile Cookie campaign from Sept. 14-20, when all proceeds from the sale of $1 smiley face chocolate chip cookies will go to charity. In Clearview, sales at the Sunnidale Corners location will go to the Georgian Triangle Humane Society (GTHS). Last year’s campaign raised $2,049 for the GTHS. “The Georgian Triangle Humane Society is proud to be the exclusive recipient for the Smile Cookie campaign at Tim Hortons Sunnidale Corners again this year. We are extremely thankful to Ann Murphy and her team for their continued support of pets and people. Last year, Ann even adopted one of our beautiful Northern transfer pups. We live in an amazing community and we can’t wait to connect with our local supporters,” said Sonya Reichel, GTHS executive director. GTHS is one of 550 Canadian charities, hospitals and community programs supported through the annual campaign. The Smile Cookie Campaign began in 1996 to help raise funds for the Hamilton Children’s Hospital in Ontario. In 2019, the Smile Cookie campaign raised a record $9.8 million across Canada. Sales at Cashtown Corners and Stayner will go to the Eat Well to Excel programs at elementary schools in Creemore, New Lowell and Stayner.

ATTENTION ATV CLUBS IN GTA THINGS TO REMEMBER
BIG NEWS! Clearview Council is trying to pass a bylaw allowing greater ATV access on ALL ROADS! If passed, let’s meet at 8AM Saturday morning in Creemore to ATV all day! If you are one of the 10,000 members of the “Places to ATV in Ontario” Facebook group - this is our chance!
3
1
Creemore has free, unrestricted parking. Park your truck & ATV trailer anywhere along Mill Street ALL DAY! The hardware store, brewery, pub or Foodland are great choices.
2
Don’t worry about your license or insurance. There are only two OPP cruisers assigned to the entire township, so the odds of getting pulled over are close to zero. Plus, police cruisers can’t access the unopened roads anyway - LET IT RIP!
3
If Clearview Council thought sensitive ecology and the Niagara Escarpment were important, they wouldn’t have proposed the bylaw - so let’s SLING SOME MUD!
4
Don’t worry about your trash. We hear locals organize litter pick-up days. Feel welcome to leave your bottles and garbage behind.
DISCLAIMER: THE ABOVE IS NOT A DRAMATIZATION - THESE ARE ACTUAL HAZARDS PASSING THIS BYLAW MEANS ANY ATV CLUB, FROM ANY TOWN, IS ABLE TO DO ALL OF THE ABOVE. THIS IS WHAT WE WILL EXPERIENCE IF COUNCIL’S MOTION IS PASSED ON SEPTEMBER 28th.. CLEARVIEW’S BEAUTY WILL BECOME A DOORMAT TO THE MORE THAN 10,000 PEOPLE BELONGING TO ATV CLUBS CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR PLACES TO ATV IN ONTARIO.

THE WAY WE WERE
Estate planning for pets Dear Money Lady, I’m in my 80s and I am getting a bit nervous thinking about what is going to happen to my dog if I died. Any ideas? Candice Dear Candice, Great question! There are many retirees that treat their pets like one of their children, a member of the family – but what happens if your pet outlives you? Planning for our future is something we all know to do, but we should also consider proper planning for our pets to ensure they do not face any uncertain fate, should we leave them. Legally, pets are considered property, therefore unless you state otherwise, upon your death, your pet will become the property of whomever receives the rest of your personal items. Does this person want the responsibility of caring for your pets, and are they suitable? Often a friend or family member may say that they will take your pet when you pass, but I have seen all too often how these arrangements can fail. Sometimes it can be a conflict with other pets, incompatibility with other family members or children, inadequate finances, or maybe they have just changed their mind now that they are faced with this responsibility. The only way to really ensure that your pet is given to someone willing and able to care for it, is to make a special provision in your Will or Estate Plan. Here are some tips that you should consider when making your own personal plan for your beloved pet(s): Select one or more responsible persons to take care of your pet for absence during short-term emergency situations, or as a permanent caregiver. Provide your future caregivers with detailed instructions on care, food, routines, vet and emergency needs. Give them a small notebook with all the specific details that are important to you and your pet should you die or become incapacitated. Carry the caregiver instructions or contact information in your wallet. I have some clients that even have the details of their wishes put on a card and carry it with them. Some have also given these cards to all their family and friends. If you have multiple pets, consider how you want them to be cared for – together or apart? Ensure you have set aside funds for the future care of your pets. This can be gifted to your future pet guardian and provides safeguards so that they are more willing to adopt your pets wholeheartedly without suffering a financial burden. Good Luck and Best Wishes, The Money Lady. Christine Ibbotson is the author of How to Retire Debt Free & Wealthy. Send her a money question via www.askthemoneylady.ca.
Maureen McLeod found this MacDonald's Georgian Cream of Ice Cream package while cleaning out her attic. She gave it to Lorne Cleary who asked Gerry Blackburn about it. Sure enough, Blackburn remembered the ice cream parlour was in the back of what is now the pub. The ice cream was made by Grant MacDonald. This package is dated 1942.

Off-road vehicles are not the only problem Editor: I don’t own an off-road vehicle (ORV) or a bicycle, but before fingers are pointed everyone should look at the complete picture. Speaking of pictures, look at page 6 (photo of cyclists) in the Sept. 4 edition of The Echo. I saw a really close call driving up the hill from Glen Huron. A woman, in the middle of the road, as in the picture, was approaching the top of the hill and a car came over the top. It’s a blind crest. The only thing that saved her was that the driver was going slow and managed to veer over in time. Check the other two cyclists side by side. I saw two incidents on Fairgrounds Rd. last week where vehicles had to take evasive action because cyclists were side by side.
There’s a sign south of County Road 9 warning of visibility issues. The saddest was the woman wobbling along trying to text! ORVs have been seen ignoring traffic signs or crossing main roads without stopping. I guess they figure it’s more important to keep up with their friends than avoid causing an accident. There are speed limits on the trails for everyone’s safety. It wouldn’t hurt to slow down. I hike and snowshoe in the county forests and don’t like meeting dogs off leash or picking up water bottles, Kleenex , plastic bags, etc. Maybe we should all clean up our own act first.

Old photo conjures up happy childhood memories Editor: I wish to thank Elaine Lightheart for submitting the picture of the class of 1961 at Corn Hill School in the August 14 edition of The Echo. I’d also like to thank my cousin, Tom Macham, for sending me a copy of this edition. I do have this picture as I, and my brother John Macham, were two of the students pictured. I haven’t looked at those old school pictures for a very long time and it brought back many fond memories. The Corn Hill School opened in 1870 and closed in 1962. My grandmother, Jennie Grice (later Mrs. Robert Macham) taught there for the 1897-1898 school year and was paid $225 at the end of the school year. Their children, Dorothy, Howard, Edith, and Douglas (my father) all attended Corn Hill. Edith became a teacher and taught there from 1923-1927. Elwin Lightheart was the last caretaker of the school and was paid $215 a year plus a Christmas bonus. The school had no running water so the washrooms were nothing more than open pit outhouses but were located in the front entrance area. I don’t remember there ever being a smell so they were well maintained. The girls’ washroom was on the right and the boys’ was on the left. The school was heated by an oil furnace that was situated in the center back of the main school room. We had a large
crock with a tap that held our drinking water. I can still see Elwin Lightheart walking from his grandfather’s house across the road, carrying a pail of water to fill the crock. It looked so heavy and he did this every morning. During the first week of school, all the students spent a morning cleaning the schoolyard of sticks and leaves. In the afternoon we would all take a short walk down to a small creek behind Ray Coe’s farm which was located next door to the school. There was a small swimming hole there and we would spend the rest of the afternoon jumping and swimming in the water. Of course one of us would, on occasion, come out of the water only to find a blood sucker attached to our leg but we would just pick it off and go right back in the water. During the fall and spring we would play baseball with the older students teaching the younger ones how to play. We would also play jacks against the school wall, something I never could master. There was the rare occasion when Brenda Longmire would ride her horse to school and let it graze in the school yard. I don’t believe we were allowed to sit on the horse but we all loved to pet her and pick grass for her to eat out of our hands. In the winter, we would build snow forts and have snowball fights. We also played fox and goose on tracks we made in the snow. Before going
back into the school we would sweep or brush the snow off each other. I can still hear the sizzle of snow when we put our mitts on top of the furnace to dry. We would also put on a Christmas concert. My father would borrow or rent long planks and set them up as our stage. Mrs. Ribble?, a piano teacher from Creemore, would come by and help us practice songs for the concert. The school room was always full of parents, aunts, uncles, and neighbours for the night of the concert. I remember one year I had to sing a solo. I was so nervous that my knees were actually knocking together. These concerts were very special occasions. Even though the school was very primitive even in those days, I would not have wanted to miss the experience. We all got along (well most of the time), we looked after each other and we had fun, during and after school. I finished grade seven at Corn Hill and then it closed and I went to New Lowell Elementary School for Grade 8. It was nice too and was certainly a good preparation for high school. As I read this edition of The Creemore Echo, I noticed a few names I recognized even though so much has changed since I lived in the area. Most notably was an in memoriam notice for my brother John and a letter to the editor written by a relative on my mother’s side, John Miller.

Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions and concerns, I was unable to go ‘back home’ for a vacation this year. By receiving The Echo and seeing that one picture of my 1961 classmates, I felt that a little bit of ‘back home’ had come to me. So thanks for the memories everyone. Nancy (Macham) Conrad, Nova Scotia.
Parks & rec staff do right Editor: I would like to commend Terry Vachon, the Director of Parks and Recreation for Clearview Township and his entire staff, for removing the outfield signs at Gowan Park that were decorated with the racially insensitive Chief Wahoo faces. Already, the park seems to be a friendlier, safer, more inclusive place for all people. Well done. Perhaps Clearview Township should consider a policy about this sort of thing? Carolyn Lane, Mulmur.
A positive perspective on ORVs Editor: I’ve been following the ATV/ORV opinion pieces in The Creemore Echo quite closely over the summer months and in my opinion, every article I read is bologna. Arguments are stated such as “ATVs are too loud, they’re smelly, and the riders are disrespectful of home owners.” In my own experience living in Glencairn, I see ORV of all types pass by my house on a regular basis, and they putt into town either stopping for gas at the Shell or just to pass by to get to the next trail opening. These socalled “reckless” riders are the most courteous drivers that come through this small town. Most diesel trucks, Honda Civics and Harley groups roar through here using the stop sign as the starting line for a drag strip. Sadly, I don’t own an ORV of my own because there is a higher cost involved in this sport. Fortunately, growing up, my dad and I would go out to the open trails to ride our dirt bikes and I wouldn’t change those memories for the world! It taught me hands on mechanical
skills, being courteous and aware on the road, essentially it taught me to be the better driver that I am today at a young age. Given this, when discussing the allowance of ATV/ORV access on municipal roads and trails, I don’t believe these riders aren’t trying to use their ATV to commute to work – they are using the roads to get from their houses to the trail opening, or from one trail end to the next beginning. So, instead of exhausting your efforts of disagreeing with the allowance, I feel you should turn your energy and focus towards how we can safely share the road. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, r e a l i s t i c a l l y speaking, whichever way the decision goes and with the vast trail system we have in our area, ATV and ORV riders will continue to use the roads to enter the trail head, legal or not. Given this, let’s turn the conversation towards a focus on incorporating safety and awareness. Blake Kelley, Clearview.

Teen puts in Miles for Refugees by Trina Berlo During the pandemic, 14-year-old Creemore resident Beatrix Karsgaard found herself with some time on her hands and in search of a worthwhile activity. One day in August, Karsgaard came across The British Red Cross’ Miles for Refugees fundraiser, and being familiar with the good work of The Red Cross, she decided to get involved. Money raised through Miles for Refugees will help the British Red Cross to support refugees and asylum seekers in the United Kingdom. Participants are asked to complete one of several distances that reflect part of a journey that a refugee may have taken to reach safety: crossing the English Channel, 22 miles; Calais to London, 108 miles; Paris to London, 285 miles; Izmir to Dubrovnik, 555 miles; and Damascus to Beirut, 72 miles. Throughout the month of September, Karsgaard committed to running, walking and cycling 160 miles, or 257 km, representative of the distance from Tunis to Sicily. Asylum seekers regularly make the journey from the economically struggling North African country of Tunisia. She said she chose that distance, acknowledging the need for assistance in that area and also to ensure she had an attainable goal. Karsgaard notes that unlike them, she will complete this huge distance that so many have to travel, without a safe, warm home to return to, and notes half of all refugees are children, even though children only make up about one third of the global population. Karsgaard has been on the move this month, completing 60 km and raising more than $300 so far. She is trying to do 10 km per day and is keeping track of her movements, even when on vacation with her family.

Busses return to the roads Now that students are back in school and busses are on the roads once more, Dufferin OPP is reminding motorists of the rules of the road. “A return to school for students is a good time for motorists to look at their own driving behavior,” said police. “Over the recent months officers have observed many motorists failing to adhere to the basic rules of the road such as: Not stopping for stop signs, Failing to stop at red lights when making right turns, and Speeding in Community Safety Zones believing that the zone were only in effect when school is on.” Motorists are also reminded of the necessity to stop for school buses when approaching or overtaking. Unless there is a physical barrier, such as a guide rail or median, motorists both directions need to stop when a school bus is topped and has its red lights activated. Motorists need to remember the ABCs of traffic safety during the initiative: A - Always stop for red lights and stop signs. Slowing is not stopping - there is a difference. B - Bus awareness. When you see a stopped school bus with red lights activated, you must stop. C - Community Safety Zones - These zones are in effect in communities at all times, day and night, and require drivers to slow down and drive with increased care and attention regardless if the school year is on.

FISHER, Eric Reginald - Eric passed away Monday, September 7, 2020 at home after a courageous yet short battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Eric of Stayner, loving husband of over 50 years to Margaret (nee Osburn) and caring father to Jeannie (Allen) Emond and David (Michelle) Fisher. He was the proud poppa of Piper, Vincent and Carley. Eric was born in Collingwood to parents Reginald and Ruby Fisher on July 3, 1943. He and his brother Douglas were raised on the 4th line of Stayner on a beef cattle farm and apple orchard. His love of farming continued long after he retired from the farm and moved into town, working with good friend Wayne Brownridge and then at the local Co-op store for many years. He will be greatly missed by many friends and family, but especially Marilyn and Grant Arnold, Janice and Tom Hodgkiss and Donnie Carscaden and Lorraine Clarkson. A private family funeral will be held on Friday September 11th in Stayner. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Collingwood Lightning Girls Hockey Organization or the RVH Palliative Care Wing. To sign Eric’s Book of Memories, please visit www. carruthersdavidson.com CLUGSTON, David Samuel Arthur. David passed away suddenly on August 29, 2020 in Hamilton at the age of 46. He is survived by his parents Stu and Penny Clugston; his siblings Katie (Mike Kemp), Susan (Eugene Tan) and Stuart (Tricia Joyce), several nieces and nephews and a daughter, Ashley and one granddaughter. A family graveside service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favourite charity.

We are certainly living in some interesting times, but one thing is certain Devil's Glen Country Club is excited to be gearing up for the 2021 ski season. Our main goal is to ensure that our members have the best "Devil's Glen Experience" and part of that experience is finding a place to call home during the winter season. If you or a friend you know has a property that you wish to rent out during the winter months; December through to April. Devil's Glen would like to help you out! We have amazing Devil's Glen families who are seeking property to call home within the Creemore, Glen Huron, Dunedin and Singhampton area.
