Ministry request puts road project in limbo by Trina Berlo A hearing with regards to the proposed reconstruction of a Clearview Sideroad relating to the closure of County Road 91 has been adjourned indefinitely after the classification of the project under the Environmental Assessment (EA) Act came into question. In what was a surprise move to parties, the Environmental Assessment Branch of the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks has reached out to the municipality asking for information regarding estimated project costs and traffic study data to justify the classification of the 26/27 Sideroad Nottawasaga reconstruction project, near Duntroon. “Ministry staff were subsequently provided additional information (See “Doubt” on page 8)

Legion observes Remembrance Day at Cenotaph The Creemore Legion is proceeding with the observance of Remembrance Day at the Cenotaph. “Regretfully, Covid has again forced the cancellation of this year’s Creemore Legion Remembrance Service and lunch,” said Legion officials. “However, the normal Remembrance Service at the Cenotaph will take place.” Participants are asked to gather at the Cenotaph on Caroline Street East by 10:45 a.m. The service will commence at 11 a.m.

The classification of the reconstruction of 26/27 Sideroad is now being questioned by a branch of the ministry causing a hearing to be delayed. The scheduling bump is something opponents have been lobbying for.
Manhunt results in two arrests by Trina Berlo A woman involved in a crash last week that resulted in a police pursuit west of Creemore is believed to still be at large. Police say the investigation is ongoing and are not able to provide any updates on the Oct. 27 crash that led to a large police presence in a rural area off County Road 9 involving a helicopter, tactical and canine units. The community was abuzz with information about the manhunt. The involved vehicle stopped in at Jug City in Creemore at 10:50 a.m. that day. Owner Helen Chung said two men stopped in to the store to buy food and drinks. Coming in and out of the store, they spent about 20-25 minutes shopping. Chung said they were suspicious characters and one had a cut on his face. Feeling scared and nervous by their presence, Chung was grateful that a customer stayed in the store the whole time until they

left, spending another 10 minutes in the parking lot before driving away. The involved stolen vehicle had been used in an armed robbery the evening prior but police will not release any information surrounding the robbery or the theft of the vehicle. It is believed the vehicle went off the road just after 11:30 a.m. and three occupants, two men and a woman, fled the collision scene on foot and ran into a wooded area. The two men were located and arrested but it is believed that the woman made her way through the woods to Creemore where she stopped in at Pizza Perfect to ask for food. Owner Meg Gaudreault said she had no idea the woman was part of a manhunt and that she was being quite aggressive when she showed up at about 4 p.m. Gaudreault told The Echo that the woman was swearing and said she was tired because she had been lost in the woods, and that she had to get back
to Collingwood. She said the woman was being very belligerent, and wasn’t wearing a mask, so she was asked to leave. Gaudreault then waved down a police officer and told them about the encounter. Police have released the names of the two men charged in the incident. Kenneth Currie, 31, of Collingwood was arrested and charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000, possession of cocaine, possession of a prohibited weapon and possession of a prohibited weapon contrary to a prohibition order, breach of probation, and fail to remain at the scene of a collision. Noah Elkerton, 34, of Brampton was arrested and charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5000, and possession of cocaine. Both are scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Collingwood on Dec. 14.

Altercation involving knife leads to arrest by Trina Berlo Creemore businessman Tim Martin was shocked to have a knife shoved in his face Tuesday evening after telling a driver to slow down as a vehicle sped down Mill Street, coming uncomfortably close to him and his colleague. Martin was in front of his business, Creemore Auto Detailing just after
7:30 p.m. on Tuesday with an employee fetching winter tires out of his truck before swapping them out for a waiting client. At that moment a big red truck went by heading south on Mill Street at a high rate of speed. “He came flying around the corner, just given’ er’,” Martin said when he spoke to The Echo on Wednesday, still shaken from the altercation the
night prior. Martin said he put his hands up, and yelled at him to slow down. He said in an instant, the driver stopped the vehicle and came at him, unsheathing a hunting knife with a long blade, and holding it to his face. “This is happening in front of my place of business. This is uncalled for,” said Martin. “I was really scared.”

Martin said he went to call the police and the driver took off in his truck. The police arrived very quickly and statements were given to the police. Martin said it took until 10 p.m. to locate the driver. Police say Spencer Stickle has been charged with Possession of Weapon for Dangerous Purpose.
Ambler's effort to overturn appointment quashed The Toronto Star is reporting that a judge has dismissed an application by Simcoe-Grey nominee Stella Ambler to overturn the Ontario PC Party’s appointment of Brian Saunderson. On June 3, in the midst of a campaign to determine which name would be on the ballot during the upcoming provincial election, the party halted the race and appointed Saunderson. The riding, considered to be a Conservative stronghold, is up for grabs after long-time MPP Jim Wilson was ejected from the party and announced he would not seek re-election. Ambler filed the application on August 5 posting on her website, “I am going to court because certain
PC party officials are blocking the democratic vote the PC members here in Simcoe-Grey want and deserve, and because these officials have left me no other option. I’m not giving up because the cause of democracy is simply too important. The PC Party members here in Simcoe-Grey deserve the right to vote for the candidate of their choice, not for one to be appointed for them.” In her court application, Ambler argues that the PC Party officials exceeded their authority in making the appointment and that they did not follow the rules of the PC Party constitution. The PC Party Constitution states, “every candidate nomination

convention shall be open, public and democratic.” The Star reports the judge said the party is within its right to appoint up to 10 candidates for the upcoming election, although this is the first time it has been done, and that Ambler did not exhaust options for resolution within the party. Ambler, a former federal Conservative Member of Parliament, was one of four party-approved candidates running for the PC nomination in the riding of Simcoe-Grey. “Four of us were approved by the party as candidates many months ago. Each of us campaigned for a long time to become the PC candidate in
Simcoe-Grey. The party defied its own constitution when they cancelled the nomination process that had been underway for many months,” said Ambler in a news release. “I wish it didn’t have to come to this but I’ve exhausted all of the usual channels. PC party officials are not listening to me or any of the local conservatives in Simcoe-Grey who are calling for a democratic vote. This application to the Ontario Superior Court remains the only way we have left to reverse this PC Party decision to suspend democracy in Simcoe-Grey.” The Echo attempted to speak to Ambler but was unable to reach her for comment.

Ensuring a good night’s sleep HEALTH MATTERS
What are healthy sleep patterns and why do some of us struggle so much with getting our zzz’s? I see many patients with sleep disturbances and have noticed through the Kate pandemic that this is a HUNTER widespread issue. I pride myself on being able to fall asleep anywhere at any time and thought this exhibited healthy sleep habits. In actual fact, most individuals like me are falling asleep because they are actually depleted and running on empty, most likely due to stress. If we swing to the other side of the pendulum, there are individuals that can’t fall and or stay asleep. This is also very likely due to stress. I have found that in practice the best way to change long term sleep habits is to focus on stress management and treatment. Here are my recommendations for improving sleep and stress together: 1) GABA This calming remedy stimulates the neurotransmitter in the brain that is responsible for calming and relaxation. Good for anxious people in the day and before bed if falling asleep is an issue. 2) Magnesium This relaxant benefits sleep while also benefiting the physical body by soothing and relaxing sore muscles. This is great for those with agitated bodies around sleep. 3) Reishi Mushroom This medicinal mushroom helps the body come out of stress related depletion. This is good for the person who is ‘wired but tired’ and running on empty. 4) Lavender This beautiful tasting herb helps the body relax and promote sleep. It can be taken in capsules or in a nighttime latte format. It is great for anyone that wants support for existing healthy sleep habits. 5) L-theanine This amino acid helps reduce symptoms of mental and physical stress. When stress is better managed, sound sleep is a glorious side effect. This helps with the building blocks that are needed to create healthy sleep hormones. Note that I didn’t recommend Melatonin - this is a common sleep remedy but I only use it in certain cases with patients as it’s a hormone and can affect the hormone conversion cycle that it is a part of - your happy hormone Serotonin. Wishing you all a happy and healthy November filled with lots of rest and sleep! Kate Hunter is a naturopathic doctor and owner of The Creemore Apothecary.

LETTER
Roads are safe for intended users, vehicles Editor: Remember the expression, where’s the beef? It would appear the Clearview councillors pushing the unsafe road mantra have forgotten to put the “beef” in the argument. Unless The Creemore Echo has been slacking on their reporting of all the accidents that are occurring on the roads perhaps the unsafe road stuff which is being pushed by the 60s crowd may also be missing its “beef”. I expect the reason nothing was reported was because nothing happened. Our roads are safe to drive your vehicle on at 80 km/h because of modern vehicle design however, if you choose to go out and play on those roads on your bicycle or taking family
walks, maybe not. These roads are purposed for the people that live in Clearview to use to get to work, move goods and services required within the community and beyond. They are secondary roads unimproved other than having a hard surface. These roads were gravel 30plus years ago. I believe Robert Walker, our council member from Stayner, gets it very well. Only signs needed are “no bicycles.” Those of us that work and live here should not be hindered in making our livelihood or drive our costs up by a policy which in fact will make our roads unsafe with a 60 km/h speed limit. John Miller, Creemore.

Kudos to Terra Nova Pub and all restaurants Editor: It was with great regret but with a feeling of gratitude that I dined for the last time at the Terra Nova Public House on October 30. For 10 years Anna and her team have served up delicious meals in a cozy space with an extra large serving of hospitality. When the pub wasn’t allowed to seat patrons, Anna provided innovative celebratory dinners that made “meals on wheels” something to really look forward to during the isolated days of Covid. I wish to thank her team and wish them the best for the next chapter in their lives. I would like to thank not only the pub but all of the other local restaurants who have had to pivot and change so many times during Covid. It certainly wasn’t easy for them. Their efforts are greatly appreciated. I look forward to the “new normal“ for dining out in the Creemore area. Thanks to you all. Anne Arrell, Mulmur.
To Terra Nova, with Love Editor: Terra Nova Public House has closed. The pandemic’s lockdowns and restrictions forced so many restaurants to keep pivoting into too maddening a dervish for their owners to recover. When I heard the Pub was closing, I made a reservation for every remaining week and got to salute Anna, Malcolm and their wonderful team over a series of dinners with Creemorians and longtime patrons all the way from Alliston to Collingwood. Last Saturday, Scott Meredith dressed up in a tux, his wife Liz to the nines; and Hugh Russell and Doug Todgham gave moving farewell speeches. Terra Nova Pub was a remarkable place. For many, it was a weekly pilgrimage. For Charlie Moses, it was religion. In Anna’s grace and through Malcolm’s magical dishes, we all got to enjoy a sense of communion. It was a place of solace and mirth –and a rarity of great fare at a fair price – so we deeply feel its loss. But an exciting chapter opens for Anna, who will be soaring to new heights in a different industry. The Pub is being converted into a three-bedroom seasonal rental property. And Malcolm will be available for catering events. Happily for us all, they remain in our community and I can assure you there’s a group of us already dreaming up fresh ways to re-engage in their graces with you all. Cheers to Terra Nova! Kavi Jappy, Creemore.

She almost more than one can imagine, Creemore in 1920, was one who was writes about local history. but what was missing was money. The would-be farmers were mainly self sufficient and could trade goods to a certain extent but there was also need for cash for supplies and taxes. The desperation for something only cash could provide comes from an account of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Metheral’s 50th wedding anniversary. This couple came to Nottawasaga in 1863 and settled on Sideroad 6/7 west of Dunedin. “The first two years were a hard struggle. Money could scarcely be had to buy flour. The first summer though Mr. Metheral was willing to work for 50 cents a day none of his neighbours had cash to pay him. In desperation he set out one June morning to walk to Nottawa and trade his watch for a hundred pounds of flour. Before he reached Duntroon, however, he decided that Mr. Melville (the miller at Nottawa) would be very unlikely to give a young stranger flour on such terms, and he turned back. On his way back he stopped at Mrs. Robinson’s. As to many inquiries as to the cause, Mr. Metheral reluctantly confessed his object, saying that he hoped to receive money from a friend to whom he had Reservations and dine in only. lent it, but that it had not come.

The accounts that follow came to life in the early 1900s through interviews, obituaries and stories arising from 50th wedding anniversaries.

Avening Hall opens with three November concerts
File photo
Elliott Brood last performed at Avening Hall in 2019.
Live music is coming back to Avening thanks to an announcement from the province allowing event spaces to operate at capacity and support from Creemore Springs Brewery. The hall will host Elliott Brood on Saturday, Nov. 20 and Hannah Georgas on Friday, Nov. 26 and Saturday, Nov. 27. “It is so exciting to be hosting high calibre Canadian musicians and to bring our concert-loving community together again,” said Sara Hershoff of The Creemore Echo who is responsible for the promotion of the shows. Juno winning Elliott Brood has been a longstanding friend of the hall and their shows are known for their epic rafter shaking dance parties driven by their folk-rock stylings. Hannah Georgas has been on the wish list of organizers for a long time. The Vancouver-based performer started her career with delicate singer songwriter sounds but has moved to a more modern, pop vibe. Her latest album was produced by the National’s
Aaron Dessner right after he finished producing Taylor Swift’s Folklore album. “These bands were booked way back in June with the hopes that we would be able to do this, but it has been a real nail-biter as to whether we would be able to go ahead,” said Hershoff. “We will have all the protocols in place and are changing things up a bit so we are all safe but we are still able to have all the fun Avening is known for.” On the protocols side proof of vaccination, contact tracing and masking rules will be adhered to and the total number of tickets has been reduced to ensure extra space. To keep the fun alive an outdoor beer garden has been added for those wishing to eat, drink, and socialize without masks. Food will be provided by Loco por el Asado and bar sales are a vital part of the Avening Community Hall’s fundraising efforts. Tickets for all shows are available online.

Needle found in candy It is the stuff of urban legend but Dufferin OPP say they have received a report of tampered Halloween treats that came from an Orangeville resident. On Nov. 3, the complainant attended the Orangeville OPP detachment to advise that her daughter located a two-inch sewing needle in a small snack size Aero chocolate bar. The chocolate bar was obtained on Halloween, in the College Avenue area in Orangeville. Police are asking parents in the area who had children out trick-or-treating to be extra vigilant about checking the candy that was collected. If there is anything suspicious about the packaging or candy itself, do not consume it and report it to police.
Police support Movember Huronia West OPP have taken out their shavers and prepped their upper lips into clean slates in preparation to grow them back in support of Movember. Officers will be participating in the Movember fundraiser throughout the month of November in support of men’s and boy’s health. This vital charity’s focus is prostate and testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention, issues rarely talked about, traditionally.

SCDSB partners with Pine River Institute in support of mental health The Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) and The Centre for Family Initiatives Pine River Institute (CFI@PRI) have committed to work together to support student mental health and wellbeing with SCDSB families and staff, as well as within its school communities. The memorandum of understanding (MOU) will serve as a commitment by SCDSB and PRI staff to promote cooperation and collaboration between the two institutions. The partnership will include a comprehensive learning series promoting the positive mental health and well-being of students. “This collaboration will enhance the support that we are able to provide our students in fostering and maintaining positive mental health,” says SCDSB Director of Education John Dance. “The partnership between the SCDSB and PRI is an important step towards our continued goal of increased health and well-being of students and staff.” “We are delighted to partner with the SCDSB to extend our knowledge and experience in treating youth mental health and addictions to families, educators and community agencies in Simcoe Country. Over the next three years, CFI@PRI will
share PRI’s evidence informed expertise on empathic and attuned practices for working with children and teens,” states Vaughan Dowie, Pine River Institute CEO. “Using a developmental maturity model to understand behaviours and addiction, we hope to start new conversations about what’s going on for some of our most challenging youth and provide adults with fresh approaches to addressing behaviours so they can build connection and resiliency in youth.” The MOU will continue for a period of three years, at which time it may be extended by agreement of both parties. PRI is a live-in treatment centre and outdoor leadership experience for youth aged 13 to 19 struggling with addictive behaviours and often other mental health issues. Combining therapy with a fully-accredited education program, PRI reinforces the healthy life skills required for a successful future. CFI@PRI extends PRI’s knowledge, experience and evidence informed treatment approach to families and care providers in the community to support youth mental wellness and prevent the need for more intensive interventions.

Doubt comes as a great shock to municipality (Continued from page 1) regarding the project which may indicate that the Project is not properly classified as a Schedule A+ and therefore not exempt from the Act. Section 15.1.1 of the Act allows a proponent to proceed with an undertaking as long as they do so in accordance with the Class EA,” writes Environmental Assessment Branch director Kathleen O’Neill. “Failure to meet the requirements set out in the Class EA would result in non-compliance with the Act. If the project has been misclassified as Schedule A+ rather than as Schedule B or C, the project would not be exempt from the requirements of the Act.” O’Neill goes on to say, “The ministry has received new information indicating cost for the reconstruction of Sideroad 26/27 may be over $4 million, which would indicate that the project should be subject to a higher level of assessment under the Class EA schedules.” She states, projects classified Schedule A+ would be for roads used for the same purpose, use, capacity and at the same location and documents indicate that the road will be widened to accommodate increased vehicular traffic volumes due to the road being identified as the alternative route for local traffic given the closure of County Road 91 due to the Walker Quarry expansion. Clearview Township Mayor Doug Measures said the latest development calls into question the autonomy of the township to manage its roads, and that this is really a disagreement between two provincial bodies, the ministry and the Niagara Escarpment Commission. “This entire project comes back to decisions being made by the Niagara Escarpment Commission about road authority,” said Measures. “The municipality has a responsibility through both the Municipal Act and the Highway Traffic Act that we are the road authority and we should be able to undertake maintenance, repairs and improvements to our roads.” “I think we’ve followed all the correct procedures and unfortunately the move to ask for an adjournment at this time is based on that we just don’t have the answer from the Ministry if the Schedule A+ is clear or not,” said Measures. The potential change in position by the Ministry, which has long supported the classification of the project, most recently by previous minister Jeff Yurek last year, came as a surprise to township officials. “First, may I say that your letter comes as a great shock to the township and would seem to have been prompted by the convenient delivery to you of somewhat misleading and irrelevant ‘new information’, mere weeks before the township’s appeals are heard before the Niagara Escarpment Hearing Office

A view of Walker Aggregates quarry from the Bruce Trail. An expansion to the quarry initially prompted discussions about closing a portion of County Road 91, once an alternative route was found. (NEHO),” said Clearview CAO John Ferguson in his response. “Second, in addition to our disappointment in the fact of the Ministry’s intervention at this late date, it is also troubling to think that the Ministry would contemplate a reversal of its long-held position on the characterization of this project as a Schedule A+ project. The township has spent significant efforts and public funds and faced damaging criticism from our municipal neighbours and some members of the public as a result of our reliance on the Ministry’s assessment of the project. A reversal of the Ministry’s position will have major repercussions, not only for the township, but also for the NEHO and all parties and participants to the upcoming NEHO hearing and would be an unprecedented interference.” Ferguson provided traffic data and costing for the project at $3.5 million, but acknowledges that costs will have gone up due to inflation and exacerbated by the pandemic, making the claim that monetary value is not listed as a condition of scheduling. He said 26/27 Sideroad does not even meet the township’s minimum standards and will be upgraded as a local road only. Blue Mountain Watershed Trust is one of the project opponents that has been calling into question the classification of the project for many years, lobbying the various ministers to “bump up” the project to a Schedule C, no longer exempting the project from the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. George Powell said BMWT has been fighting this at enormous expense to their volunteer organization, which is usually focussed on more feel-good community projects. “Our concern was that the environmental impacts were significant and should be looked at, and we were supported by the Niagara Escarpment Commission,” said Powell, referring to the process that ultimately resulted in the hearing. By widening the road, Powell said the work will have an environmental impact on fisheries and wildlife in the area, which he notes in quite scenic. He said if the project hadn’t been exempt from the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act, “the thing would have been done properly, the public would have had an opportunity to get involved, and they would have had to look at alternatives.”
Thinking you might be missing out on the better deal?
Powell said there are viable alternatives that were never explored because Clearview Township was bending over backwards to accommodate Walker Industries, which was negotiated behind closed doors. “I’ve got a real issue with the way that thing was negotiated by Clearview,” he said. Earlier this year, Councillor Thom Paterson said would be bringing forward a notice of motion asking council to reconsider its position with regards to the work on 26/27 and the closing of 91, which will include the potential withdrawal of site specific policy amendment to the Niagara Escarpment Plan (NEP) and rescinding the development permit application appeal. “In May, I postponed bringing a motion to council with some optimism that solutions could be found that would not compromise inter-regional traffic flow, do harm to ecologically sensitive Escarpment lands and add a financial burden on our taxpayers,” said Paterson in a statement. “I am very concerned that the township is missing an opportunity to take a leadership role in finding a good faith alternative to the current Road Improvement Agreement (RIA) that works in the mutual best interest of our residents, our neighbouring municipalities and the primary signatories to the agreement. I’m disappointed in our current response to the Ministry of the Environment and the resultant adjournment of the hearing. Regardless of the outcome regarding the classification of this project, it is no longer the relatively small $500,000 road upgrade originally planned but is now close to a $4 million road construction project.” “The RIA, as originally conceived, did not include the construction of Sideroad 26/27 or the closure of former County Road 91. These later inclusions are no longer essential or in the best interest of the public. All the key objectives of each party to the agreement have been met. The quarry is shipping, Concession 10 is being built, improvements have been made to the former County Road 91 and local jobs have been preserved. What remains is to build Sideroad 26/27, a road we do not need, and to close former County Road 91, a road we do need. So why do it? I will continue to ask the Township to call on all parties to the current RIA to find a mutually beneficial solution and abandon the construction of Side Road 26/27, keep former County Road 91 open and withdraw all related applications and appeals to the NEC.”

THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, November 5, 2021 •
Health unit pauses non-COVID-19 public immunization services Due to continuing COVID-19 demands, the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU) is placing publicly-funded child and adult routine immunization services on hold in order to focus on COVID-19 protection efforts. When plans to resume publicly-funded immunization services, including the in-school Grade 7 School Immunization Program, were announced in late September, it was thought that COVID-19 vaccines for 5 to 11-year-olds would not likely receive approval until early 2022. However, there are indications that this may now occur as soon as this month. In addition, the province is expected to announce its plans for the provision of third doses for additional priority populations in Ontario based on last week’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recommendations. As such, the health unit is working to ensure it is prepared to implement both of these immunization initiatives when they are announced. Any existing routine immunization appointments that have been booked and confirmed will be honoured. Individuals who do not want to wait to receive their routine vaccines and boosters should contact their primary care provider, who will be able to order these vaccines from SMDHU. For more information about COVID-19, visit www.smdhu.org/COVID-19.

Creemore curlers back in the hack Daytime League
Ladies' League
Team win-loss Team Coulter 2-0 Team Martens 1-0 Team Bell 1-1 Team Lambert 0-1 Team McDougall 0-2 From the Hack: Finally this week, we were able to get back on the ice! With one voice, the Daytime Curlers rejoiced - well, half of the team players anyways! Yes, the winning half! It seems the 18 month break from throwing rocks didn’t affect Bill (Team Martens), nor Ron (Team Coulter), as they performed brilliantly, in their first few games! Curling, masking and social distancing is a tough ask, but given some practice, the curlers feel they’ll be able to follow protocols easily! And of course, they’re happy to return to their favourite sport! Good curling eveyone!
Team win-loss-tie Millsap 0-1-0 Walker 1-0-0 Crawford 0-0-1 Verstegen 0-0-1 From the Hack: After 86 weeks without curling, the Ladies’ League was ready to manage the new “return to play” guidelines. Thanks to Paul and his crew for getting the ice into great shape. After a few shaky ends, we were back at it. We welcomed three new curlers, Ange, Kate and Bonnie who proved to be motivated, determined and flexible! A win by team Walker and a tie between Team Crawford and the Verstegen Creemore Springs Team got the trophy race started.

MOD plays with fire and ice The Museum of Dufferin presents Amy Shackleton: Playing with Fire and Ice in the fourth floor Silo Gallery until Dec. 18. Inspired by her travels, Shackleton’s work explores the conflicting relationships between humanity and the environment. She blends cities with nature to depict our uncertain future – be it utopian or apocalyptic. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and hitting closer to home. Forests are burning, lands are flooding and glaciers are melting.
In this series, Shackleton exposes the present-day effects of climate change across Canada. Shackleton’s inventive painting process has engaged over 15 million viewers online. Rather than paintbrushes, she uses squeeze bottles and gravity as her primary tools for creation. Liquid paint is dripped, poured and layered as the canvas is rotated to navigate. Architectural aspects of her work are calculated and controlled, while natural elements embody the spontaneous, liquid impulse.

In loving memory of our husband and father, Harold “Big Harold” Bigham who left us on November 2, 2005. Everyday in some small way, Memories of you come our way, Though absent, you are always near, Still missed, loved, always dear. Love always, Marion, Janet and Paul, Janice and Julie Ann In loving memory of two dear friends Jim Trott who left us on October 29, 2007 and Cliff Hart who left us on October 31, 2005. Tenderly we treasure the past, With memories that will always last. And when old times we do recall, It’s then we miss you most of all. Love always, Marion, Janet, Janice and Julie Ann Bigham
HAPPY 50TH ANNIVERSARY Mike & Connie Leishman Thank you for showing your daughters that marriage lasts when you choose someone you can talk with, laugh with, share moments with and work together everyday of your life! It takes work but it's worth it. Much love, The Leishman Clan
