Youth enviro squad effort results in tree planting

Fundraisers Evening Martin (left) and Dryden Dinsmore.

by Trina Berlo A number of trees were planted along a creek bank in Glen Huron this week, a culmination of two years of environmental focus and fundraising by a group of young environmentalists.

Evening Martin and friends Dryden Dinsmore, Hazel Dempsey and Izzy Mitchell have reached a fundraising benchmark of $1,000 and decided to put the money toward stream rehabilitation.

The friends joined forces as a garlic mustard squad in 2019 to raise awareness about the invasive species.

They also gave out 100 trees at the Dunedin Literary Festival, which yielded significant donations, and in 2020 they sold handmade goods at their roadside stand and in a couple of Creemore shops, including pottery magnets, pendants, flowers, baked goods and lavender sachets. The lavender was donated by Doug and Emily Finley, who put Martin in touch with landowner Joe Hamilton, who gave his permission for the tree planting.

Martin said trees are very beneficial along waterways because the roots hold the soil together and protect

against erosion, and they shade the creek and keep the water cool, which is essential to healthy fish habitat.

“It makes me happy and I’m glad that we got to do something because we worked really hard... and we wanted to make a difference and I think this is going to make a little bit of a difference, at least for the fish that get to spawn in that river,” said Martin.

The squad plans to continue its environmental work through tree planting, and broadening focus to the oceans.

“We’re just going to keep doing what we can to help out,” said Martin.

The original plan was to have a volunteer tree planting day, but due to pandemic public health protocols, they have left the planting to the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA), with whom they have partnered for the project.

NVCA Healthy Waters Program Coordinator Shannon Stephens said 230 native trees and shrubs were planted on May 4, along with materials to improve their chance of survival, such as tree tubes, stakes, (See “Plants” on page 3)

Farmers' market set to open

by Trina Berlo The Creemore Farmers’ Market is opening May 22, following the COVID-19 protocols put in place last summer.

The market will be located once again in the parking lot at Creemore Springs Brewery each Saturday market.

In its capacity as an essential service, the market is limited to farmers and food producers so, like last summer, there won’t be the usual artisans, crafters, entertainment, and socializing that marketers have enjoyed in the past.

Georgie Collis is joining the market team as the newly hired manager. She has been visiting the market since it

started in 1997.

Collis has fond memories of the market, having grown up in the area as a weekender.

“I’m excited. For me, it’s so much a part of my heart,” said Collis. “It’s been a very important part of my life. Every year I come through I always go to the market and I always enjoy seeing the market stories and I am very passionate about food in general but for me the market is a really great memory of Creemore and my history here.”

From 1985 to 2016, Collis worked overseas in human resources, training and development, management, and (See “Market” on page 10)

Deal struck to open public washrooms, eventually

Plants improve habitat, quality (Continued from page 1) and mulch mats.

NVCA staff planted the trees on the Hamilton farm along the creek, which is a small tributary stream of the Mad River.

Normally, said Stephens, trees are planted on properties throughout the watershed with the help of roughly 1,000 volunteers but with the public health measures in place, that’s not possible. “Thanks to the generous support of other donors and funders, we were able to hire on a few great planters for May. We’ll be planting every day this month at different properties around the watershed, to make sure the trees get planted and aren’t wasted,” said Stephens. “By planting trees along streams and wetlands, they help restore and protect these sensitive ecological features. For example, planting trees and shrubs along streams helps stabilize the banks, reducing erosion to natural levels. Naturalized stream buffers help filter pollutants of adjacent lands, like fertilizer, sediment, and bacteria. They provide habitat for birds, pollinators, fish and other wildlife. They also help shade and keep the stream cool enough to support fish, like trout. Cool water holds more oxygen. And like us, fish and other aquatic organisms, rather like to the breathe!”

This spring, the NVCA will plant

The Station on the Green board of directors has approved a plan proposed by the Creemore BIA to open the public washrooms at the facility.

In partnership with the Township of Clearview, the Business Improvement Area (BIA) executive will be covering the cost of additional cleaning to minimize the risk of opening the washrooms once the stay-at-home order is lifted by the provincial government.

The washrooms have been closed since the beginning of the pandemic last March. The BIA has been advocating for them to be open to increase access to hand washing facilities and allow shoppers a place to relieve themselves when in-store shopping is allowed.

The washrooms will be open Saturday, Sundays and Holidays between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. April through September with adjustments based on demand and financial resources. A paid staff person will make sure the washrooms meet public health guidelines during hours of operation and the municipality will provide a fogging machine for addition disinfection. The BIA will reimburse the Station on the Green for wages and the cost of utilities and cleaning supplies.

NVCA tree planters install 230 native trees and shrubs along a creekbank in Glen Huron on May 4 made possible by the fundraising efforts of four local youth. over 100,000 trees through the professional planting program, and the Healthy Waters Program, to help keep rivers healthy from brook to bay.

These projects are only possible because our farmers and landowners are interested in planting trees.

Landowners interested in planting trees are encouraged to get in touch.

For plantings on two acres or more,

contact forester Rick Grillmayer at rgrillmayer@nvca.on.ca. For streamside and wetland plantings (100+ trees), contact Stephens at sstephens@nvca.on.ca.

Volunteers and volunteer groups interested in getting involved, can contact Stepehens to get on the NVCA volunteer list for future ecosystem restoration events.

Dear Money Lady, Any tips on how to deal with the stock market this year? – I don’t know what to do with my investments. Thanks, Jim.

You are not alone, Jim Christine – Lots of people are still IBBOTSON worried.

I have had many questions about the stock market.

I want you to consider an investment approach which can shelter you from the coming “shake-ups” in 2021.

When yields are likely to stay low and markets have a tendency to have future volatility, dividend strategies should be revisited. Start moving more of your investments towards high-quality dividend payers and high-quality growth-name stock picks. This has always been a valuable strategy in this type of environment, especially given the “lower for longer” interest rate road put in place by the US and the Bank of Canada (freeze on rate increases until 2024 due to below targeted inflation numbers).

Remember that lower interest rates have always typically benefited dividend investing and a good dividend-focused strategy helps to combat elevated market volatility. When it comes to growth stocks, lower interest rates always tend to support higher valuations. This strategy will limit your losses during market declines but also will perform well during periods of market strength – something we expect in the next 3-5 years as we anticipate a new bull market after COVID. It is important to remember that price swings will occur in both directions this year, and while we never want to lose money, corrections often represent healthy and necessary periods during a new bull market. The next six months will have many market corrections.

If you look back at the historicals of the S&P 500 – market performance tends to rebound quite quickly once corrections have fully run their course. Another thing to remember is that when you analyze the beginning of bull markets, the performance tends to flatten out after the initial three month burst, before the next leg higher. Investors should stay put and not be too nervous or overly concerned about sell-offs and uptick volatility. Do not waiver here folks, there will be some unexpected volatility which will at times remain elevated in the coming months as investors continue to doubt the validity and sustainability of the bull.

With the current low rates, along with elevated volatility levels, this new 2021 market landscape provides an excellent opportunity for investors to selectively increase exposure toward dividend paying stocks. Talk to your advisor to see if this is something you should consider.

Creemore railway, not without its mishaps (Continued from page 1) and departures six days a week but there were times when no trains came through or were late. A derailment east of Glencairn involving the engine and seven cars caused a six-hour delay (1916). Another time no trains arrived for two days. The track was flooded near Collingwood and a drop in temperature made the track a sea of ice (1918). Winter storms caused delays almost every year. A snowplow pushed by two engines had to be sent out to clear the drifts (1906).

Newsworthy items about the trains often appeared in the local papers.

Employees of the GTR were instructed to warn passengers to keep their feet off the cushions. They were making the seats dirty. (1921) Accidents and near accidents happened. A spark from the engine set fire to the grass just west of Hisey’s coal shed. Firemen quickly quenched the flames (1913).

Mrs. Ed Kerr, getting on the train after it started to pull out, lost her footing and fell backwards behind the car.

Fortunately it was at the back of the train (1903). Mrs. T. Maxwell, driving home from Dunedin with two children and a horse and buggy, found herself in a dangerous position with the train approaching. A wheel caught in the channel beside the rail. Mrs. Maxwell jumped with the children and at the last minute the horse made a sudden bound and cleared the track (1910).

Charles Barber, walking westward out of Creemore, was suddenly seized with an epileptic attack and fell between the rails. It was minutes before train time. Fortunately, the engineer, looking out the engine cab, saw the man and stopped the train. He was put on the train and in Cremore taken to the doctor’s office for treatment (1908).

Farm animals in Creemore’s early years were free to wander the streets.

“As the seven o’clock train was coming to the station S. Sampson’s cow was unceremoniously crossing the railway on Mill Street. The result was a collision which was rather hard on the cow. The engine struck her amidships and lifted her high in the air. She fell squarely in front of the engine... (I’ll spare you the details)... and delayed the train an hour and a half.” (1906).

Please note that the current series of stories come from the era 1900 to 1930. To read about the early days of the railway check out the Purple Hills Arts and Heritage website at phahs. ca, where you will be instructed how to access Bridges of Creemore Mills which has a chapter on the first railway into Creemore in 1878.

Apothecary expands team, services in new location

by Trina Berlo The Creemore Apothecary is expanding its wellness boutique and health services at a new main street location.

Opening May 8 in a bigger space, the apothecary has grown to include a collective of female wellness practitioners and a larger inventory of products and organic clothing by makers whose stories have resonated with founder Kate Hunter, the naturopathic doctor who started the Creemore business last summer.

Hunter is pleased to say that the store carries a line of all-Canadian products, 90 per cent of which are made by women and 40 per cent of whom are BIPOC – Black, Indigenous, People of Colour.

By adding practitioners, Hunter said the apothecary will be well equipped to treat physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness with a patient-based collaborative approach.

Hunter uses energy testing to take the guesswork out of treatment and allows her to develop a targeted plan which may include a combination of herbs, vitamins, homeopathic remedies, acupuncture, and traditional Chinese medicine.

She is being joined by fellow naturopathic doctor Kathryne Petrov, who is relocating to Creemore to join the practice.

“I’m all about helping people meet their optimal health and love

The Creemore Apothecary is expanding with a larger team, expanded inventory and a new location. Pictured from left is founder and ND Kate Hunter, Juliette Reynolds, ND Kathryne Petrov and manager Ali Hunter. themselves in their own bodies,” said Petrov, who also brings a range of treatment options to the clinic including acupuncture, cupping, diet and lifestyle coaching as well as knowledge of herbs and supplements.

Petrov was drawn into the profession after she had an affirming experience with a naturopathic doctor who was treating her for an iron deficiency and was inspired to provide that kind of care for others, one where she provides a space for people to be heard and work

towards a treatment.

“It’s about getting to the root cause not just masking symptoms,” said Petrov. “Education is power, I believe.”

The doctors will be joined by longtime local health practitioner Juliette Reynolds who is offering Thai Yoga Massage and soul readings, during which she said she serves as a gentle guide helping people to understand the essence of who they are and find the "whys" behind their health issues.

Having practiced Thai Yoga

Massage for 25 years, Reynolds said that is what led her to go deeper into the practice of unblocked one’s vitality.

During a soul reading, Reynolds taps into the soul memory system which is just beyond the conscious mind.

“It’s about shifting people’s patterns,” said Reynolds. “People get stuck in negative thought patterns.”

Past experiences and emotions can cause people to suffer physical symptoms and by treating the symptom without exploring the underlying cause is akin to a band-aid solution, they say.

Hunter said the goal is to “unlock the physicality of how people are experiencing an emotional trauma.”

The whole operation will be managed by Kate’s sister Ali Hunter, who is also a chef and will be able to provide assistance to people on nutrition and edible supplements.

She will also be overseeing the management of the retail store and appointment bookings.

The store, located at 168 Mill St., will have regular hours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays.

For more information and to book appointments visit thecreemoreapothecary.com. For more information about Reynolds and soul readings, visit www.axismundihealing. com. Reynolds is also becoming certified as a life coach and will eventually be offering that service.

Market is an incubator for local business (Continued from page 1) education, before retiring to the area.

As a self described 'world foodie' and aspiring chef with a Cordon Bleu Diploma, Collis said she was cooking her way around the world as her work took her to various developing countries.

Collis said she sees the market’s value as an incubator for business, contributor to social and economic growth in the community, provider of employment, food security supporter and contributor to local food production.

She said she has learned that studies show that markets increase foot traffic by 60 per cent, and 60 per cent of visitors also patronized other downtown stores. For every dollar spent at a farmers’ market, there is an additional $3 spent at other businesses in the community.

She said she is committed to making the market interesting and fun, and looks forward to connecting with youth, including new participation from the 4H Club. There will also be opportunities for high school students to get some volunteer hours.

For a list of vendors and information about inperson shopping and online ordering, visit www. creemorefarmersmarket.ca.

The market will be located at Creemore Springs Brewery’s south parking lot on the corner of Mill and Edward streets, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

COVID protocols will apply, including masks, hand sanitization, entry screening, and social distancing.

There will be controlled entry from the gate on Mill Street.

CARD OF THANKS

With sincere gratitude, we the family of the late John Wiggins, wish to thank each and every person for their kind words of condolence. Thank you to all who shared a memory with me and sent flowers and/or donation in John’s memory. Very much appreciated. It is very apparent that dad touched so many lives in a positive manner. A huge heartfelt thank you to Dr. Scott Houston, whom I believe gave Dad an extra 10 years to embrace life and enjoy his family. A special thank you to all the staff at Balmoral Retirement Home for their care, compassion and support during Dad’s stay there. Dad will be truly missed by all.

Thank you.
