Council tackles traffic problems by Trina Berlo Clearview council has been tackling a big question – how to solve traffic problems, especially on rural roads? Council and staff tackled the question during a special traffic meeting on Tuesday, going over some big picture planning strategies for the future and looking at specific roads and solutions that could be included in the next budget. Transportation engineer Henry Centen, with RJ Burnside, took new traffic and speed counts at 48 locations in 2021 for the updated Transportation Assessment Study. Working with Clearview’s deputy director of public works Dan Perrault, and informed by community feedback through council members, recommendations were tabled for council’s consideration at the Oct. 5 meeting. Centen outlined his thinking behind making certain recommendations. He said reducing speeds too much on a road that drivers perceive to be safe to travel at higher speeds may cause people to drive at varying speeds thereby causing conflicts, with passing for example. He said consistency is important to the overall functionality of the road network as a whole, otherwise drivers are only pushed to the next road over.

RJ Burnside map

The orange on the traffic study map indicates an annual average daily traffic count of 1,000 vehicles. He noted that enforcement is a factor in reducing speed and urged the township to continue to utilize the radar signs, and move them around to new locations. Mayor Doug Measures noted he has been working wth the OPP to find ways to provide “cost effective services.”

Centen also urged officials to consider multi-modal traffic, including cyclists, pedestrians and ATVs that use the roadway, and the need to consider widening roads and paving shoulders. “We do have an issue with cyclists in Clearview – love them or hate them – they’re there and they’re going to be (See “Council” on page 3)

Vaccine uptake lowest for young men by Trina Berlo Simcoe Muskoka’s medical officer of health is hoping to see a higher uptake of COVID-19 vaccines by young men. The age group has a vaccination rate of 65.6 per cent, said Dr. Charles Gardner, compared to a 74.6 per cent vaccination rate amongst youth in general and over 90 per cent for those 16 and older. There have been outbreaks at eight schools in the region since

the beginning of September, all in elementary schools, four of which are still active. Gardner said this speaks to the success of vaccines, as there have not been any outbreaks in high schools. He reminds parents and staff to be vigilant in screening for symptoms before heading off to school. There have been 18 clinics held in schools so far with 44 per cent of the doses administered being a first dose. Health professionals are awaiting

word on an approved dosage for youth 12 and under. In the week of Sept. 26, 28 per cent of cases were among the fully immunized, or so called breakthrough cases. Gardner said the health unit has become aware of a case of a death of a youth who had received a first dose. The case is under investigation but Gardner said there is nothing as yet to suggest that the death is linked to the vaccine.

Thanksgiving traditions The Creemore Horticultural Society will once again be participating in their Thanksgiving tradition of preparing floral pumpkin arrangements to sell at the Creemore Farmers’ Market on Saturday. Volunteers clean and scoop the seeds out of the pumpkins, then fill them with floral arrangements celebrating the colours of autumn. The flowers, foliage, and other natural materials used to create these arrangements are donated by members from their personal gardens. Special thanks goes to Sim Spry and Foodland for donating all the pumpkins for the second consecutive year. Proceeds from the sale of the pumpkins goes to support The Hort’s work in the community, including beautification such as the new Hort gardens to be planted in the Village Green in 2022. These pleasingly priced creative designs can be purchased on the sidewalk in front of the Creemore Springs Brewery on Saturday, Oct. 9 from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. (Come early as they often sell out.) Each arrangement is unique, natural, and beautiful – perfect for a Thanksgiving centrepiece or fall décor.

Feed it Forward The community is reminded that the FIFE4LIFE program continues at Creemore Pizza Co. Owner Lori Judzinski said the program is well used by those in need when there are meals available. FIFE4LIFE is a “feed it forward” program that relies on customers paying for an extra meal at participating restaurants and then the receipt is posted on a designated FIFE4LIFE board. Anyone wanting to accept the meal grabs the receipt and exchanges it for the food. There are no questions asked.

Council supports speed reduction on three roads (Continued from page 1) here to stay,” said Councillor Doug McKechnie. “What do you think of trying to encourage cyclists to use one road as much as possible?” he asked. Centen said the scope of the current study hasn’t included cycle counts or consultation with the cycling community, and that there are many considerations for cyclists that choose one road over another. During the workshop councillors supported: • Reducing the speed limit on Nottawasaga Concession 10 North (Duntroon) from 80 km/hr to 60 km/ hr from County Road 124 to the town limit at Poplar Sideroad. • Reducing the speed limit on Fairgrounds Road from 80 km/hr to 60 km/hr from County Road 9 to County Road 91, and from the 33/34 Sideroad Nottawasaga to the town limit at Beachwood Road. • Reducing the speed limit on Riverside Drive/Concession 6 from 80/70 km/hr to 60 km/hr between County Road 9 and 1.1 km north of County Road 91 and from 33/34 Sideroad Nottawasaga to the Collingwood Townline (while maintaining the 50 km/hr zone through Batteaux.) Council also agreed to other road considerations in 2022:

• prioritizing the following roads in 2022 based on the approved budget for the year, to implement recommendations from the Township’s Transportation Assessment Study: • Hogback Road (speed reduction) • Concession 5 Nottawasaga (speed reduction) • 36/37 Sideroad (speed reduction) • Lavender Hill Road (speed reduction) • Klondike Park Road & Concession 12 (intersection review) • Sunnidale Tosorontio Townline (further road study) • Warrington Road (further road study); and, • Collingwoodlands subdivision (all roads) reduced to 40 km/hr Also approved are plans for additional line painting (yellow centre lines and white edge lines), and the development of a Complete Streets designs and rural road design policies to get ahead of such issues in both urban and rural areas when new road projects are being planned. “Council’s decision to lower the speed on several of our local roads is in large part a response to an overwhelming call to action by residents to make our roads safer,” said Councillor Thom Paterson. “To those who shared their real life concerns, thank you.

the excellent work done by our township staff and expert consultant in preparing recommendations that will result in effective short term traffic calming measures and in longer term road improvements. Many residents identified similar safety concerns on

County Road 9. As this road is the responsibility of the County, I will be submitting a report to our council at the Oct. 25 meeting to ask Simcoe County council to lower the posted speed to 60 km/hr from Maple Valley to Cashtown Corners.”

Comparing traffic counts with lockdown The township retained Ontario Traffic Inc. to undertake updated speed counts between June 11 and June 17 at the locations previously surveyed in 2020. The updated traffic counts have been reviewed, to confirm if there have been any significant changes to speeds or traffic volumes, compared to the data collected in 2020 (i.e., due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or construction in the area). For the majority of the roads surveyed, the volume and speed data are comparable between the two counts, however significant fluctuations were noted on the following roads: • Increase in Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volume of about 400 vpd on Concession 10 and increased directional operating speeds by a

maximum of 28 km/hr. • Increase in directional operating speed by a maximum of 11 km/hr on Riverside Drive and Concession 6. Decrease in ADT of about 350 vpd on Fairgrounds Road and increase of directional operating speed by a maximum of 11 km/hr. • Increase in ADT of about 400 vpd on Centre Line Road. • Increase in ADT of about 450 vpd on 3 / 4 Sideroad Sunnidale. • Decrease in ADT of about 750 vpd on Concession 12. • Increase in directional operating speed by a maximum of 31 km/hr on 27 / 28 Sideroad. • Increase in directional operating speed by a maximum of 15 km/hr on Batteaux Road. – RJ Burnside

OPINION COLUMN Medicinal mushrooms and their magic

THE WAY WE WERE

HEALTH MATTERS

Medicinal mushrooms are having a BIG moment right now! We struggle to keep them on the shelf with their new found popularity, but have very historical health benefits. Kate Mushrooms are classified HUNTER as adaptogens, which is a group of healing herbs and fungi that regulate your body’s systems and bring you back into equilibrium. So a mushroom can decrease your stress while also increasing your immune capabilities at the same time. Medicinal mushrooms are different from “magic” mushrooms in that they are non intoxicating. So no trippy highs needed to achieve adaptogenic homeostasis. They strengthen the body to withstand greater stressors without the detrimental impact on the physical body. I use them all the time in practice with great benefits. Here are my favourite mushrooms and how to use them: • Reishi – the Queen of Mushrooms This is by far my most favourite mushroom as it is a potent stress balancer. It helps manage cortisol and calm the nervous system while also helping increase energy and the body’s resistance to stress. • Cordyceps – The Energy Mushroom This powerhouse stabilizes energy, enhances athletic performance by increasing endurance, stamina and oxygen uptake. It makes me feel energized without the jittery coffee anxiety. It may boost libido. • Chaga – The King of Mushrooms This fungi has the highest content of antioxidants. This makes it a powerful scavenger for unhealthy cells in the body and also boosts the immune system. By creating this antioxidant balance it helps slow the aging process. • Lion’s Mane – The Brain Power Mushroom This potent mushroom is a nootropic, which means to improve memory and cognition. This fungi helps to improve mood and focus while also providing protection against age-related cognitive decline. • Turkey Tail – The Cancer Fighter Named after its resemblance to an actual feathered turkey’s tail - this colourful mushroom helps boost the immune system, benefits digestion and also helps the body flush toxins. It has been shown to be beneficial in supporting people through chemotherapy. • Tremella – The Beauty Mushroom This fungi is known for giving glowing skin due to its hydrating and skin protective qualities. It also helps digestion, liver function and decreasing inflammation systemically. We offer these mushrooms in tincture form (more potent) or in powder form. They are easy additions to your daily routine as you can add them to coffee. Wishing you all a magical fall.

LETTER

Fountain sculpture returns to Village Green For many residents and visitors, the fountain featuring the Children’s Dress-up Dance Sculpture by Ralph Hicks was a highlight of the Creemore Horticultural Park, along with the gardens. The sculpture was removed, cleaned, and stored safely for the past two years. Now it is returning! On Wednesday, Oct. 13 (or, if the weather is poor, on the 14th), it will be placed on the pedestal which has been built for it. The installation will occur during the morning when a truck with a crane will lift it into place. The contractor hopes to remove a few of the upper boards along Mill Street to allow townspeople to watch from the sidewalk. Other viewing spots include the open space right

next to Foodland or along the fence in the Station on the Green parking lot. To celebrate this milestone, the Creemore Community Foundation has asked The Creemore Bakery to produce 150 large sugar cookies with the image from the sculpture of the young girl with the big hat displayed on the top of each cookie. They will be free for the taking and can be picked up from the bakery following the sculpture installation for as long as they last. Please, only one cookie per person. Enjoy! Over the next few weeks, curbs and benches will be put in place. – S u b m i t t e d b y C re e m o re Community Foundation and the Village Green build team.

by Trina Berlo The Creemore Coyotes will take to the ice for their home opener at the Creemore Arena on Oct. 16. Team president and founder Tom Macham said the team is off to a bit of a rocky start but is confident that once they can get through the season, next year will be better. The WOAA league senior AA has had a few setbacks in its inaugural year, including losing its top-notch coach ex-NHLer Sylvain Clouthier to an irresistible offer elsewhere, and Macham has been struggling for increased capacity at the arena but has been limited by township staff to 140 attendees, making for a financial crunch. In its first game, the team lost a player to injury, and has lost two others who are not vaccinated for COVID-19 and are therefore barred from entering the arena. Another three players are waiting for their vaccinations to take full effect. “We haven’t been devastated. Other teams in the league are hurting too,” said Macham, adding that other teams have lost up to six players who aren’t vaccinated, or have delayed vaccination, and one team has lost half

Table plays pivotal role through cook's life by Trina Berlo Trish Magwood’s latest book My New Table “a lifestyle cookbook of simple, seasonally-inspired recipes for every table” will be released later this month. Magwood is a food and lifestyle industry authority, trend leader and experienced entrepreneur, who splits her time between Toronto and Creemore, or as she says, has one shoe in the city, and one boot on the farm. She is a chef, award-winning cookbook author of dish and In My Mother’s Kitchen, television host, producer, creator, founder of the popular dish cooking studio, a judge for Food Network Canada’s Family Cook-Off, entertainer and mother of three. Magwood said she set out to produce something more than a cookbook, she wanted it to be about lifestyle and design, with lots of gorgeous photos. “For me sometimes – like lots of parents or cooks – I don’t always love to cook but I always love to sit and gather and I always love food so it’s really about eating and living, cooking and sharing and not just about the recipes and the preparation of food. The title is a nod to big changes in Magwood’s personal and professional life with the blending of two families to include five children living under

Trish Magwood draws inspiration for her new cookbook, My New Table, from her Creemore connections. one roof with their parents, a move and a renovation. Magwood reflects on how the kitchen table has been an anchor throughout the various phases of her life. “With food, I find a sense of purpose and meaning, and accomplishment,” writes Magwood. “I have long wanted to share the simple recipes that are a mainstay for my family, while also showing how the food on the table can bring the ones you love together.” She said she is very inspired by the quality seasonal ingredients

available in Creemore, including the food growing in her parents’ garden and what is available at the Creemore Farmers’ Market. Magwood said the pandemic added certain challenges. The manuscript was finalized in March so the year prior involved working around COVID-19 restrictions. She sent recipes off to friends and family who couldn’t always make it out to the grocery store to get all the ingredients. Magwood said her daughter Olivia, who loves to bake, helped with recipe

testing, along with her mother, and father, who was proofreading. What would normally have been done by a bigger team was accomplished in partnership with her photographer Ksenija Hotic, who was shooting on location at Magwood’s home while she was testing and re-testing recipes. “This was a bit of a coming home, creating this book,” said Magwood of all the fond memories she has of her parents and grandparents and their places in Creemore, and now her own.

Police respond to numerous collisions involving deer Huronia West OPP has responded to an increase in collisions involving deer during the month of September. The majority of the collisions have occurred between dusk and dawn, which is the time of day they are most active searching for food. Officers have responded to 62 motor vehicle collisions since Jan. 1, including eight during the month of September. The OPP is reminding motorists to take precautions in order to reduce their risk of becoming involved in a collision with wildlife: • Scan the road ahead from shoulderto-shoulder. Deer are particularly active during dawn and dusk. Deer rarely travel alone, so when motorists see one there are likely more nearby.

• Reduce speed and be careful when driving at night. Slowing down gives you more time to react. • Try not to direct your full attention to the animal. Take measures to avoid hitting it by focussing attention on an alternate route that doesn’t place anyone else in danger. Never swerve suddenly. This could cause the vehicle to go out of control or head into oncoming traffic. • Use high beams at night when possible and watch for the glowing eyes of animals. • If you see an animal is standing on, or crossing the roadway, brake firmly but maintain control of the vehicle. Never assume the animal will move out of your way.

Next morning Mr. Anderson set out on foot and made his way to his farm. Arriving there and taking leave of the situation the prospect did not look very promising and on returning to Mr. Millie’s he suggested to his wife that they throw up the whole business and go back to where they came from. Mrs. Anderson, however, was not so easily daunted, and persuaded him to stay with the game. After making a road with his axe sufficient to get his horse through, the young people got to their shanty and commenced pioneer life in earnest.” Women burdened down with child care, providing food, clothing and a home also had a part in clearing the land.

Geocaching offers discovery, exercise by Dave Bull Last January, after the year from hell with no vaccine in the near future, I learned about an activity called geocaching from friends living in Port Hope. What I discovered is that this is a perfect activity for discovery and exercise while avoiding infection from the virus. Even within 10 kilometres of my home there are dozens of caches of varying difficulties (five in Creemore alone) that have led me to discover trails and roads I didn’t know existed. Geocaching involves finding hidden containers of different sizes, the locations of which are identified on an app as a green icon with the metric distance to the cache, the size of the container, the toughness of the terrain, a description provided by the placer, and details from all who looked for it, successfully or not. The finder logs the success on a log in the cache. To join l looked up “geocaching” on the internet and found it to be a free app with an easy process to follow. In my case I was given a geocache icon on my iPhone that, when pressed, gives me a satellite view with my location in the centre shown as a blue dot with all nearby cache sites shown mostly as green.

NOTICE

Fall Wild Turkey Hunting Season All users of the Dufferin County Forest are hereby advised that October 12-24 is the fall shotgun/archery season for wild turkey in 2021. Wild turkey hunting may occur only from ½ hour before sunrise to ½ hour after sunset. During this time there will be a number of hunters using the Dufferin County Forest properties. Please use caution in the forest and wear bright-coloured clothing. There is no hunting allowed at any time in the following tracts: north portion of Amaranth, Hockley, Leening, Levitt, Little, Main, Mono, Thomson, and River Road. Suspected violations of the Fish & Wildlife Conservation Act should be reported to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry at 877-847-7667 (877-TIPS-MNR). Other inquiries should be directed to the County Forest Manager at 877-941-7787.

DISPLAY AD

When I find a cache and log it as found, the green turns into a yellow smiley face. How cute is that? To date I have logged over 300 “finds” and a number of “did not finds” all within 40 kilometres of home. Presently I am doing this mostly alone, a disadvantage for an old, stubborn fart who tends to push the limits of his abilities in locations he has no business being in. The ideal I think would be two adults and a child (for searching in spots I won’t crawl into or trees I won’t climb) but I am aware of teams that go together, travel the world geocaching, do it by flashlight, canoes, bikes, snow shoes and skis. For now, I continue to range farther from home, visiting the amazing number of trails and remote lanes where caches are hidden, charmed by the variety of trinkets left in caches, and frustrated to distraction at my inability to see those that I know is in front of me but are invisible due to the ingenuity and imagination of the devious cache placer. By reading other geocachers accounts at each site I became aware of the huge variety of people who do this, and how global it appears to be. I have noticed that some geocachers are note worthy. One such team was one whose handle was “IsqubaAndNawty” who were both geocachers and cache hiders. Where I have found over 300 caches to date, they have found an amazing 52,000 plus sites in over 20 years of activity. They graciously agreed to be interviewed and we met in Stayner, within metres of a cache site. They are a retired couple who have the most cache finds in all of Ontario. I was told that they have geocached in all provinces including the far north, all US states including Alaska and Hawaii, extensively in Australia and New Zealand, throughout the Caribbean, Central America and along the Rhine River on a boat cruise. Whenever they go anywhere an app supplies them with all the cache sites on their route.

Museum of Dufferin is opening its doors for the remainder of 2021, with a new and unique exhibit with the hope to inspire thought and action. Through the Looking Glass explores topics that have been on the mind of those who make up a growing and changing Dufferin community, including the environment, communication and mental wellness. Within each topic, historic events are compared to modern-day equivalents. The exhibit case resembles

Dave Bull visits some curious sites while geocaching, in this case with his sister Cathy Bull. Chris and Renata are involved in, and have hosted meetings and get-togethers of geocachers, religiously maintain the sites they have set, and even pick up other people’s garbage. In the winter they will cross the ice to sites on islands and, once, while island hopping in the winter on Lake Simcoe, found a crashed snowmobile and a body. They, and so many others, are examples of how extensive geocaching is. How easy it is to be involved, and, often enough, how infuriating it can be. All too often, I have stood where my phone tells me that I am within a meter of the cache and it is invisible to me by the ingenuity and inventiveness, and yes, the deviousness of the cache hider.
