Traffic study identifies roadway deficiencies by Trina Berlo Clearview council has received the highly anticipated Traffic Assessment Study. The study was completed in response to resident concerns about increased traffic, particularly on north-south township roads. The increase has been attributed to GPS-driven traffic travelling to other municipalities i n c l u d i n g Wa s a g a B e a c h a n d Collingwood, especially during the pandemic. Council approved the recommendations in the report by RJ Burnside Senior Transportation Engineer Henry Centen at its June 14 meeting and directed staff to call a special meeting to address council members’ concerns about specific roads. The study was informed by data
collected last summer at 48 locations throughout Clearview using an outside agency and the township’s digital speed signs. The report was first presented and discussed at a workshop during a special meeting on May 27. It recommends, among many things, short- and long-term improvements to be implemented over 1-5 years including lowering speeds, adding signs, widening roads, paved shoulders, and revising road designs to accommodate all road users including bicycles, ATVs, farm equipment, and pedestrians. The recommendations are supported by staff. The study is framed as a starting point from which council can make decisions and respond to public comments and concerns. (See “Paving” on page 3)

Simcoe Muskoka declared Delta hotspot by Trina Berlo Overall, cases of COVID-19 have seen a marked reduction in Simcoe-Muskoka but the increase of the Delta variant has caused the region to be declared a hotspot, accelerating second doses for all residents over the age of 18. A s o f We d n e s d a y, J u n e 2 3 , individuals 18 and older who received their first dose of an mRNA vaccine on or before May 30 and who live in the catchment area of one of the 10 public health units identified as Delta hot spots, including Simcoe-Muskoka, are eligible to book, or re-book, their second dose appointment at a shortened interval. Those 12-17 years old are eligible to book their second dose between August 9 and 22 (sooner for those who meet the priority criteria set out by the province.) The Delta variant accounts for 54 per cent of all COVID-19 cases in Simcoe-Muskoka, including laboratory confirmed cases and screened positive
cases. Residents are now approved to get any vaccine as a second dose, regardless of what was administered as a first dose. “That interchangeability is very important for us now because it is imperative that people get fully immunized as quickly as we can manage as a key response to being a Delta hotspot, and the potential for a surge,” said medical officer of health Dr. Charles Gardner, adding that surges of the Delta variant are happening in the UK, Waterloo region and Porcupine Health Unit. Gardner said a single dose is just over 30 per cent effective against infection and 80 per cent effective against severe infection or admission to hospital. Two doses of mRNA are over 80 per cent effective for preventing cases, and AstraZeneca is just over 60 per cent effective in preventing cases. He said the Delta variant has over twice the likelihood of causing a severe

case requiring hospitalization. “For all of these reasons and it’s proving to be possible of causing another wave, as is happing in the United Kingdom right now, we need to be very careful both as individuals and collectively in our overall response in managing the Delta variant,” said Gardner. He is urging everyone to stick with all public health measures, especially as Canada Day approaches, saying the presence of the variant means we need to exercise caution. Currently the region is in good shape with a 33 per cent reduction in cases from the previous week, and most areas have an incidence rate of fewer that 20 cases per 100,000 population. Currently 74 per cent of adults 18 years and older living in Simcoe Muskoka have had at least one dose of vaccine, 21 per cent have had two doses and 54 per cent of youth 12 to 17 years of age have had their first vaccine dose.
Young adults (18-34 years) have had the highest rates of infection since February. The province has said Ontario’s allocation of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine meant to arrive during the first two weeks of July will be lower than initially projected (decreased from approximately 885,000 to 348,000 doses) and is planned to catch up during the last two weeks of July. The province will continue to expand eligibility for accelerated second doses across Ontario as additional vaccine allocations and shipment timelines are confirmed by the federal government. To access the provincial online booking site visit www.Ontario.ca/ bookvaccine or call the Provincial Vaccine Booking Line at 1-833-9433900. Select primary care providers will also be reaching out to book appointments and select pharmacies are offering doses through their own portals.

Complaint leads to impaired arrest Huronia West OPP located and arrested a driver for impaired operation as a result of a 9-1-1 call reporting an unsafe driver. At about 7 p.m. on June 21, police responded to a report of an erratic driver travelling westbound on Horseshoe Valley Road. The vehicle was subsequently stopped on Highway 26. During the investigation, signs of impairment were detected and the driver was transported back to the Huronia West Detachment for further tests.
As a result, 40-year-old Amie McMahon, of Bracebridge, has been charged with operation of a vehicle while impaired and operation while impaired with blood alcohol concentration of 80-plus. The driver was given a 90-day licence suspension and the vehicle impounded for a period of seven days. The OPP is committed to public safety and encourages anyone who suspects an impaired driver to call 9-11 immediately.
Volunteers needed at vaccine clinics The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit is accepting applications for volunteer support in the COVID-19 vaccination clinics located in Barrie, Innisfil, Orillia, Bracebridge, and Huntsville. Clinic volunteers provide essential support in non-clinical roles and help contribute to an excellent client experience. Volunteer responsibilities may include monitoring waiting areas, assisting, and directing clients and engaging in cleaning and disinfecting procedures. Volunteers must be 18
years or older, be able to stand for long periods of time, work both indoors and outdoors, wear personal protective equipment (PPE), and obtain a satisfactory criminal record check upon hiring.

Paving shoulders, widening roads suggested (Continued from page 1) “We’re trying – from an engineering point of view, which includes posted speed limits – to inform the motorists as to what the target or safe speed is,” said Centen, adding that enforcement, signage, engineering design including road shoulders, and utilizing the township’s existing traffic calming strategy are also tools. “Lowering the posted speed limit is not the solution,” said Centen. “It gives more enforceability but really the whole toolbox needs to be looked at.” He reports, most of the roads surveyed in this Traffic Assessment Study currently have posted speeds that are acceptable, based on the criteria considered, with the following exceptions: Lavender Hill Road between County Road 9 and Mulmur/ Clearview Townline; Concession 10 between County Road 91 and 33/34 Sideroad, if the road remains as gravel surface; Concession 10 between 33/34 Sideroad and Poplar Sideroad; 36/37 Sideroad between County Road 124 and Concession 10, reduction in west section; and 36/37 Sideroad between County Road 124 and Concession 6. It is also recommends the designs for roads which carry higher traffic volumes be reviewed to ensure that travel widths, shoulder widths and road geometrics can service the increased traffic demands in those areas.
“
“Traffic, if you think we’re going to stop it, we’re not. It’s going to get worse and worse.” - Deputy Mayor Barry Burton
Councillor Doug McKechnie panned the report during the workshop. “I was livid when I read this report. There was smoke coming out of my ears,” he said. “We asked for this report because of the numerous complaints we were getting from the taxpayers… As members of council we’ve heard their frustrations over the last few years and we look to a report to guide us to make changes to address their concerns. Instead, this report seems to me to be written for the automobile and it ignores the environmental and safety factors, not to mention the concerns of all those users other than car and truck drivers.” McKechnie later voted in favour of the report based on assurances that there would be ongoing discussions and debate, and that specific projects would come back to council for approval and budget deliberations. Council agreed that directing traffic onto county and provincial roads was
the best strategy but difficult to achieve, and that the cost of redoing roads will be very high. “Traffic, if you think we’re going to stop it, we’re not. It’s going to get worse and worse,” said Deputy Mayor Barry Burton who as a Niagara Escarpment Commission member has learned that visitors to the area is up by as much as 300 per cent. “We have to be prepared to spend money.” He said spending money to improve
3
roads, paving shoulders and create dedicated bicycle routes is the way to solve the problem, even if it means raising taxes. “It’s a problem,” said Burton. “It’s a real problem and we need to make a plan.” In support of traffic calming, council recently approved 75 kilometres of yellow centre line and stop block painting at intersection in 16 rural areas at a tender price of $51,000.
Traffic goals outlined in study Short term 1-2 years: • Review the travel speeds for roads with significant horizontal/vertical curves with an operating speed that exceed 10km/h over the posted speed and that appropriate signs are in place, • Speed reduction on Lavender Hill Road, Concession 10, Hogback Road and 36/37 Sideroad from 80km/h to 70 km/h. • Review of speed signage on all roadways to ensure that motorists are adequately informed of the speed limits. • Increase vegetation clearing on several roads. • Review and improvement the Township Traffic Calming Policy for Urban and Rural Township Roads.
Long term 3-5 years: • Road design – consider revising roadway design for rural and urban roads which carry higher traffic volumes for roadway widths, shoulder widths, and geometrics to handle the increase traffic demands. • Revising roadway design to accommodate other road users, bicycles, ATV, agricultural users, pedestrians, etc. • Develop a complete streets policy. Timing for the implementation of the recommendations made in the TAS would be estimated to take 1-2 years for short term measures and 3-5 years for long term measures based on budget allocation.

THE WAY WE WERE
Thank you subscribers! Wow. What a ride! This past year has been gawd awful. There’s no sense in mincing words. We have missed out on so many things – events, socializing and something as simple as seeing people’s smiles – but we are still here and we have you all to thank for that. We are wrapping up our annual subscription drive and we have to take a moment to say that the support of the community is without a doubt the only thing that guaranteed Creemore would emerge from a global pandemic with its independent newspaper in tact. We are honoured to be a source for local news and information and a place to share views. This newspaper has been a platform for some interesting conversations over the past year when people couldn’t attend a public meeting or even a dinner party, they could get a sense of how their neighbours felt about the issues at hand from those who braved to write a letter to the editor. But there are so many ways that people support this little rag on and off the pages and we are sincerely grateful to you all. We are just so chuffed to see how the community has rallied together during this whole ordeal we like to refer to as a “this difficult time,” by getting take-out and shopping curbside when necessary and flocking to patios and stores when they are open. It hasn’t been easy but it hasn’t been as hard as it could have been and we have been spared some of the hardships that have been felt elsewhere. We think it’s fair to say that this newspaper helped connect the community at a time when everyone was sheltering at home and that we are better off for having a vehicle for local news and information. We have had the most successful subscription campaign to date. Thank you to everyone who gave and to those who gave a little extra, whether they are a booster, champion or patron. Here's a shout-out to some last minute supporters: Patrons Cyd Israel and Tony Bryant Gayle Millsap Gerard Buckley Lori and Mike Fisher Pamela and John Rennie Champions Emily Worts and John Millar Hilarie Woods and Michael Woods Karen Gaudino Lorie and Doug Awender Marilyn Badger Phillip Dyment and Petra Mattes Robin Vaille Tracey Kolowska and David Bruce Johnson Boosters Angelina Stokman Claire and John de Ruiter John and Evelyn Knappett

LETTERS
With nature preserve promotion comes responsibility Editor: I was disappointed by Mayor Doug Measures’ comments in last week’s article on the Creemore Nature Preserve. At the end of an article about how various parties want to work together to solve the problems being caused by increased visitorship to the preserve, Measures blows it all up by describing the problem as being created by others and dumped on the municipality to solve. Nature Conservancy Canada promotes several of their properties as Nature Destinations to encourage
visitors to experience nature – the Creemore Nature Preserve is not one of them. You know who has been promoting it? The township, through its Discover Clearview website and Facebook page. So, instead of picking fights with misinformed, hypocritical statements, maybe Mayor Measures could show some civic leadership and help all parties find some solutions to the problems being caused by the increased traffic. Simon Heath, Creemore.
Quarry not major factor in road upgrades Editor: There has been a great deal of discussion over the past several years about proposed road changes in Clearview Township. The issue will continue to draw significant attention in the months ahead as the Niagara Escarpment Hearing Office (NEHO) holds a hearing to determine the fate of Clearview’s applications to upgrade 26/27 Sideroad. The debate over the road improvements has drawn on for nearly a decade. It’s understandable that there may be some confusion among newcomers and long-term residents about what exactly has being proposed and why. I am writing to clear up some of
the recent inaccuracies that have been published about the proposed road improvements and the rationale behind them. The opponents to the Duntroon Quarry extension (licensed since 2012) are drawing focus away from the important matter at hand, and are instead attempting to direct attention to the road agreement, which would convey a section of Township Road 91 to Walker Industries. This road agreement, and the Duntroon Quarry extension, should not be major factors in the application as they are separate matters from the upgrades to 26/27 Sideroad. (See “Road” on page 5)

Pace is key to social society re-entry HEALTH MATTERS
As things start to open up, I want to call awareness to how we reintegrate back into ‘real life.’ The pandemic has brought many challenges to us all over the past 16 months while also Kate teaching us to slow down. HUNTER Patients and friends of mine alike have mentioned how COVID has shown them that life doesn’t have to be so busy. Many parents that I speak to have expressed how nice it is to not be over-programmed with kids. So how do we keep this slowness and also re-enter into our old way of habitual living? Here are my recommendations on a smooth and healthy reintegration of body, mind and spirit: 1) Take it slow – This is going to be such a huge transition for so many of us that our nervous systems and adrenal glands will be overwhelmed. Try to just schedule one or two things/outings per day and let your system and senses ease back in. A friend of mine that lives abroad scheduled a previously typical Saturday with four or five activities and had to lay in bed for the next two days! This is a real thing - our systems are not used to numerous outings – pace is key!
2) Increase your sleep by just 20 minutes – Research shows that when introducing a new habit, the brain needs more sleep time to process. So adding just an extra 20-40 minutes will help your brain better reorient to your new habits and integrations. Remember it’s like re-learning how to ride a bike! 3) Take some liver support – As most of our new found freedom will likely include seeing friends and family, this will likely include alcohol (at least in my family!) My recommendations would be to take a Milk Thistle based supplement or tincture which helps the liver detoxify and process toxicity (and fun!). Silymarin by Seroyal is a great one and safe to do about 2 caps/day. 4) Protect your nervous system – This has been a very stressful year and a half for most. Diving into a packed schedule will likely send your system into ‘fight or flight’. Two beautiful remedies that I use often to calm my nervous system and reset my predisposition to ‘fight or flight’ are Tilia Tomentosa (Silver Linden Bud) and Ficus Carica (Fig Tree). These two remedies work synergistically together to calm the system and teach it that it is safe and not in danger while doing regular activities. Gemmotherapy is the brand that we carry at the stores which is a
5
concentrated bud remedy of both of these herbs. 5) Incorporate a meditation practice – It can be short - even just 10 minutes to get yourself back in your body and present to what is going on with you. This daily reset is so important and helps you take things at a slower pace when life gets busy. I use the Daily Calm app, it’s 10 minutes daily and truly one of the most balancing things that I do for myself. I set my day up around it to ensure I get it in in the mornings to set my day up. 6) Take care of your physical body – So many of us are used to being sedentary through COVID while working from home. This causes havoc on your physical body. Be sure to schedule in body work - Massage, Thai Yoga Massage, Osteopathy, Chiropractic etc. Put those unused benefits to work for you and take good care of your achey body. I am wishing you all the best for a healthy and happy start to the summer and reintegration back into life! Kate Hunter is a Naturopathic Doctor who practices in Creemore, and is the owner of The Creemore Apothecary wellness boutique.
Road changes present safest, most sensible option (Continued from page 4) These changes (upgrading 26/27 Sideroad and a portion of Concession 10 North) were proposed by the County of Simcoe and Clearview Township, not by Walker Industries. They were recommended after the Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC) rejected an earlier proposal by the county to upgrade what was then County Road 91 (now Township Road 91). The recommended upgrade was to accommodate and shift the passenger vehicle traffic volume we see today from Township Road 91 to 26/27 Sideroad between Grey Road 31 and Concession 10. The NEC opposed that proposal based on the impacts to the escarpment brow, natural areas and visual impacts. The upgrade to former County Road 91 also could not be completed within the existing right-of-way and required the acquisition of numerous properties. The NEC rejection of upgrading Township Road 91 is a critical point that has been left out of the discussion in recent years. Township Road 91 was not designed or reconstructed to support the traffic the road has experienced in the past, and continues to experience today. The solution to close a portion of Township Road 91 satisfied the necessity to reduce
the traffic and was the only alternative since the NEC rejected upgrading Township Road 91. The county and township were forward thinking in proposing upgrades to 26/27 Sideroad. They understood the need to maintain an east-west link between Clearview/ Simcoe and Grey-Highlands to accommodate and limit traffic to passenger vehicles, emergency services and school buses. The proposed upgrades to Sideroad 26/27 were not based on Walker Quarry truck traffic, which is prohibited from using this road as a haul route. The proposal to close a portion of Township Road 91 and upgrade 26/27 Sideroad was supported by neighbouring municipalities Grey-Highlands and the County of Grey. It was also endorsed by a Joint Board of the Ontario Municipal Board and Environmental Review Tribunal following a lengthy hearing involving detailed traffic evidence.

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
While Walker didn’t initiate the road changes as currently proposed, in our view they present the safest and most sensible option. This is based on the wealth of research gathered and presented in numerous studies over the past decade. At this stage, doing nothing is not a viable alternative. It will not address existing safety and environmental issues on 26/27 Sideroad and capacity issues on Township Road 91. Something needs to be done to rectify the situation, regardless of the NEHO’s decision on 26/27 Sideroad.

THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, June 25, 2021 •
2 Dirty Aprons open market pop-up by Trina Berlo Mother-daughter duo Laurie and Tessa Foote have set up a pop-up shop in Creemore to complement their lifestyle brand, 2 Dirty Aprons. The 2da Market is a showcase of their favourite things that they use in their home whether they are cooking together, dining together or caring for their animals on Windswept Farm. The collaboration began in 2019 when the pair went into the forest to dig wild leeks and they were having so much fun that they decided to make a video – and a brand was born. They love to cook together and making videos of their shenanigans in the kitchen helped to relieve some of the boredom that came with the pandemic. “As Covid progressed we realized this is actually working,” said Laurie. They say although they didn’t know much about being retailers, they had lots of ideas and started sourcing all kinds of great products, which were accumulating at their home before they even had a solid plan for a store. They are renovating the barn at their farm for a potential locale but the work was delayed by the pandemic so they took the opportunity to open in a small space on Mill Street for the summer.

Tessa is heading off to McGill University in the fall and is learning lots from the new business venture. With the theme of home and cooking in mind, the Footes have sourced cookware and tabletop accessories including antique stemware, recycled cast iron pots, and candles. About ninety-five per cent of the vendors are Canadian with a focus on locally made and items brought in from Quebec, where Laurie if from.

Lavender farm gets push back from neighbours by Trina Berlo Jim Muzyka says his new farm venture is causing his neighbours to see red where he is hoping they would see purple. Muzyka has planted 25 acres of lavender at his farm on the 8th Concession towards Glen Huron and his plan to add an agri-tourism component has upset his neighbours, so much so that he is now scheduled to appear before the Niagara Escarpment Commission on July 15. He said he regrets having to get lawyers involved with the permit application to change the use on a shed. Fennario Meadows, named for the fictional place in an old folk song, won’t open until next year when Muzyka hopes to welcome visitors to the farm to take in the picturesque landscape and purchase the products made from the lavender. He said he is unfairly being compared to “Ontario’s largest lavender farm” Terre Blue in Milton, which attracts a big crowd, when Purple Hill Lavender Farm is a more accurate comparison in terms of scale, he said. Having heard the push back from his neighbours, Muzyka said he is scaling back parking from 90 to 50 spaces and has a capacity of 300 people per day but would consider 60 per cent of that daily capacity to be a success. He said visitors would only be admitted during the bloom, from June to mid-August and a limited number of tickets would be purchased for a specific window of time. Muzyka said he chose to plant lavender because a specialty crop was really the only viable way to make a go of a relatively small farm package in the modern farming era. “It has been challenging but I wanted to keep it as a working farm,” he said adding that the soil quality is good, just a little hilly. Having purchased the 100-acre farm in 2019, Muzyka said he has been restoring the old property which has been abandoned for almost two decades. Historically known as the Arnold farm, Muzyka has cleaned up the property and is having the foundation

Jim Muzyka is preparing to open Fennario Meadows lavender farm to visitors next year, causing strife with his neighbours. of the dilapidated barn repaired. The plans include building a new shed that will be a replica of the Glen Huron train station that will serve as a visitors centre, store and processing facility. There are eight varieties of lavender growing at the farm, ranging from culinary to oil heavy. He plans to wholesale and make Fennario Meadows branded products. To appease the neighbours, Muzyka said he is maintaining a buffer at the front of the property so people won’t be tempted to stop on the road and gawk, or take selfies. “The neighbours won’t be able to see any of it,” said Muzyka, who doesn’t reside on the property but does live down the road.
He has also been working with the Huronia Rose Society, which worked with the Arnolds, to reinstate a rose garden. Muzyka maintains that traffic studies have indicated the road can support the traffic and once at the property, visitors won’t be a bother to the neighbourhood. “This is not a reincarnation of an evil Canada’s Wonderland as some people are making it out to be,” said Muzyka. “This is a small and serene place that people can visit and relax while enjoying nature.” In an attempt to make amends with neighbours, he is opening the property to anyone within walking distance on Sundays free of charge, hoping people will once again hike through the fields as they have done for many years.
Singhampton Sculpture Forest adds new art The Singhampton Sculpture Forest never sleeps and thus there is always a new and exciting direction and creation to experiment with. The forest had a number of visitors last year during mask wearing and part lockdown, who decided that our outdoor exhibits were a safe and entertaining destination. Three acres of trails meander through art installations that have accumulated even more eclectic sculptural works within the past several months. Over a hundred objects await. New additions include a giant worn out shoe made from concrete and a story pole, which has
a dozen colourful expressive faces gazing back at the many garden and art enthusiasts who have dropped by. Wire, wood and concrete have been transformed into over two dozen creations that are nestled into the underbrush. The tour is self guided through the larger displays, and when the studio/gallery is open, masked visitors can enjoy the many new wood, pottery and multi media pieces exhibited there. Singhampton Sculpture Forest is open most weekends and weekdays by appointment. Admission is free. For details, visit Studio124.ca.

Her second family Dion, Lana and grandson John in NL, and she had many great friends in NL. Her special friends Jane Maxwell, The Park Family, Kata Lasco, Rellie, Shelly and Mark Slaney, who was like a son. Everybody she touched turned into a friend, the phone calls were unbelievable.

SCOTT, David Alan. It is with deep sadness that the family of David announces his passing on Thursday June 17, 2021 at the age of 69. Born to Victoria and George Tory Scott, David spent most of his childhood playing in and around the Mad River in Avening, a place he would still visit weekly. Wildly intelligent and impassioned about the environment, David became a town planner where he worked hard to balance proper housing and services while preserving the beautiful Severn ecosystem. Often found in the kitchen, cooking up a storm and singing, he loved to share food with everyone. David was often quick with a joke and giving people a smile gave him joy. The stories he told were beautiful tales of time gone past, blending geography and history to weave a narrative of who once walk the paths we now tread. His good humour and love of community meant he made friends with all he met around town. He was kind and giving and when David cared for you, he took care of you. David will be forever lovingly remembered by his wife of 45 years Susan Hanna, and his children, Jacob, Lydia, Nikki (Derek), and Hillary (Lisa), by his sister Sharon (Brian) and his cherished grandchild Onnaleigh. David will also be fondly remembered by his nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. A celebration of life will be held in October, details to be announced. Memorial donations can be made to the Susan Hanna Fund at My Friend’s House in Collingwood. To sign David’s Book of Memories, please visit www. carruthersdavidson.com. 5 1 6
