Workplace accident claims life of 28-year-old by Trina Berlo A worksite accident has claimed the life of Amandeep Singh, 28, of Brampton. Emergency crews responded to a construction site in Edenvale just before 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 12. Huronia West OPP received a report of an unresponsive male at a worksite on Highway 26, near Sideroad 12 and 13, in Clearview Township. The initial investigation revealed that a dump truck had tipped over trapping the male underneath.
The male was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Ontario Ministry of Labour (MOL) and the Federal Department of Labour were notified. The Office of the Chief Coroner for Ontario and OPP Forensic Identification Unit (FIS) are assisting with the investigation. A Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development spokesperson said five requirements have been issued but could not give specifics because the investigation in ongoing.

Vaccine passports lifted as of March 1
by Trina Berlo As a result of a joint investigation between the Huronia West OPP Crime Unit and the Office of the Fire Marshal an arrest was made in connection with a house fire in Clearview Township. Emergency crews were called to a residential fire on the 6th Concession of Nottawasaga, Clearview Township, just before noon on Feb. 9. Fire Chief Roree Payment tweeted on the day that crews fought a basement fire and that one occupant was transported to hospital in stable condition. Two residents who were in the home at the time of the fire had escaped prior to the arrival of emergency services and were not injured. The damage to the residence is estimated at $300,000. Clearview Township resident Dean Doucet, 30, has been arrested and
by Trina Berlo With the province lifting most pandemic related health restrictions by March 1, Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit medical officer of health Dr. Charles Gardner warns there is a still a high degree of transmission in the community, and a high degree of risk. The province has announced Ontario will lift proof of vaccination requirements for all settings as of March 1. Gardner said the province is heading in the right direction with a downward trend in cases but people need to be aware and decide for themselves what risks they want to take. In his opinion, the lifting of restrictions is happening a little early, earlier than planned. He said local cases are also trending downward, but (See “Potential” on page 3)

in the Ontario court of Justice in Collingwood, and was remanded into custody.

THERE’S NO TURNING BACK
If the Ontario Land Tribunal approves Fennario it will be Canada’s largest Lavender attraction. It could bring thousands of cars a week, have no oversight, disrupt our community, and harm the Escarpment – a sensitive UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
Who benefits? Not the taxpayers.
They get stuck with higher taxes from the road upgrades.

Potential for omicron spike, prolonged recovery (Continued from page 1) ICU occupancy remains high. “At this point it looks favourable,” said Gardner. “I note that the pandemic has been ever unpredictable and that we’ve had five waves so far here in Ontario and that COVID-19 has proven its ability to generate new variants that are more infectious than previous variants so that possibility certainly persists.”
Gardner said the trajectory will have to be monitored, but modelling has identified the possibility of a second spike of the omicron variant, or a prolonged recovery period. Effective Feb. 17, restrictions are being lifted to increase social gathering limits to 50 people indoors and 100 people outdoors; organized public event limits to 50 people indoors, with no limit outdoors; remove capacity
limits in restaurants, bars, gyms, and cinemas; and increase capacity limits for indoor weddings, funerals and religious services to the number of people who can maintain two metres physical distance. (Capacity limits are removed if the location opts-in to use proof of vaccination.) Effective March 1, Ontario intends to take additional steps to ease public health measures if public health and
3
health system indicators continue to improve. This includes lifting capacity limits in all remaining indoor public settings. Businesses and other settings may choose to continue to require proof of vaccination. Masking requirements will remain in place at this time, with a specific timeline to lift this measure to be communicated at a later date.
Booster program expands to select youth COVID-19 booster dose eligibility expands to medically high-risk and Indigenous youth 12-17 COVID-19 booster dose eligibility has expanded to include youth aged 12-17 with medical conditions that put them at high risk of severe illness, such as cancer, kidney disease and diabetes, amongst others. Eligibility also includes those who are First Nations, Inuit and Métis, in keeping with the prioritization of this population for primary COVID-19 vaccine series and boosters among adults.
Booster doses for these priority groups who are at least three months (84 days) since their second dose are now available at the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit’s (SMDHU) community clinics by appointment or on a walk-in basis. (A complete list of medical conditions is available on the health unit’s website.) The health unit strongly recommends that all individuals eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, particularly a booster dose, book an appointment or attend a walkin clinic as soon as they are able to help reduce their risk for severe illness and chance of requiring hospitalization if they become infected with COVID-19.
In addition to the 12 to 17 priority groups, those also eligible for a booster dose include all individuals who received their second dose at least 84 days ago and are aged 18 years or older, and 16- and 17-yearolds working as health care workers. There are many options to access a booster. Walk-ins are also available to Simcoe Muskoka residents at health unit community clinics on a firstcome basis, if able to accommodate, to those needing their booster as well as first and second doses to those aged five years of age or older. Walk-ins are also available at the GO-VAXX bus clinics. Upto-date clinic details and walk-in
schedules are available on the health unit’s website and social media accounts. Appointments can also be made for the health unit’s community vaccination clinic at 29 Sperling Dr. in Barrie through the COVID-19 Vaccination Portal or by calling the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833-943-3900. Other options include appointments through some health care providers, family health teams, and select pharmacies.

Anti-aging super foods
THE WAY WE WERE
HEALTH MATTERS
With spring hopefully around the corner and everyone taking their winter coats, toques and general hibernation wear off for the year, I thought it would be a good time to talk about anti-aging. Kate HUNTER Spring is always a time of new beginnings where most want to refocus on health and looking more youthful. Anti-aging regimes are most successful and long-term if done from the inside out – healthy, properly functioning organs and enzyme systems equal healthy looking exteriors. Here are some anti-aging super foods to introduce to your diet to get that glow from the inside out: • Cruciferous vegetables (Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, Cabbage, Bok Choy) Benefits: this group contains sulforaphane, which stimulates enzymes in the body that detoxify oxidants before they cause cellular damage. Cellular damage is where the aging process is expedited, so these delicious veggies help to keep that at bay. • SMASH fish (Salmon, Mackerel, Anchovies, Sardines, Herring) Benefits: Highest in Omega 3. This group improves joint mobility, skin elasticity, vision, cognition and heart function. If you are not a fish eater you can substitute with an Omega 3 supplement in capsule or liquid form. • Coconut Oil Benefits: a saturated fat, but it is processed easily by the body. It is amazing for the brain and delays the appearance of wrinkles and sagging of skin. It is easy to introduce into coffee, smoothies or baked goods. • Collagen Benefits: strengthens connective tissue, tendons and ligaments and also the elasticity of the skin. Collagen also benefits protein genesis which in turn helps hair and nail growth. • Tremella Benefits: this medicinal mushroom is adaptogenic and benefits the system by detoxifying and purifying from the inside out. This results in a glow that emanates through the complexion.

The creamery was started in 1920 and closed in 1972. Previous to the creamery the building was used as a hotel under various names as owners changed.

Lost cups piling up in Mulmur too Editor: I saw Mr. Lackie’s considerate post in The Echo Friday about the exquisite little cup he found, and I appreciate him for going to the trouble of grabbing it off the trail and trying to find its rightful owner. He is to be commended for being thoughtful and considerate, but oddly enough where I live in Mulmur on a beautiful picturesque sideroad I too have found a number of similar cups. The ones that I have found are red with white letters and also look to be of the same material as the cup he found. I know the person(s) that have lost these will most definitely be happy to know

that I found them. I have them in a container I keep in my garage waiting for the owner(s) to retrieve them and have left my number at the township office for those poor souls to be reunited with their purchases if they come looking for them. I assume they are not from our area as they haven’t apparently been back looking for them, but I will keep a look out if I see anyone else misplacing such items and make sure they are returned to their rightful owners. It is so unfortunate that items like these are misplaced so regularly. Shona Lawlor, Mulmur.

Primary concern is negative environmental effects Editor: I live with my wife and daughter adjacent to Devil’s Glen Provincial Park and some MNR land known as the Reinhold Property. My wife and I have been put in the position where we have to speak out about the evolution of a large scale rock climbing destination that does not align with the intended land use. For the last 12 years we have been contacting the provincial park, the MNR, the Niagara Escarpment Commission, the Ontario Alliance of Climbers (OAC) and many more regarding our concerns about the negative effects of bolting and overdevelopment of bolted rock climbing routes in this area. Our primary concern has always been the negative environmental effects that this activity has had on the fragile south facing cliff face forest, not the sport
of climbing itself. All the policies, documents and scientific papers written about this area support protecting this area as a nature reserve, with a focus on protecting the natural values. Ontario Parks will have to clarify their position on this issue, and how they plan on managing the increased use in this fragile ecosystem. There are currently 130 bolted rock climbing routes, a 94 per cent increase in Devil’s Glen Provincial Park since 2014. None of these routes have received permission from land managers. Anyone familiar with Devil’s Glen, or has been climbing there since 2010 will have noticed the explosion in bolted route development. Little care or regard has been given to ecologically sensitive areas as many new routes appear in provincially significant buffer zones. Rock climbers have identified this area
as a “grey” or murky area in regards to regulation and enforcement which has resulted in overdevelopment with no oversight from land managers. I wish this was an isolated instance, however it is very similar to the way climbers overdeveloped other climbing areas like Lion’s Head and the Swamp, two other areas that were mentioned in The Echo. If Ontario Parks decides it is going to officially permit rock climbing, or they plan on continuing with their “blind eye” historical use approach then we suggest they give consideration to the environment first and foremost. We as a family have suffered other effects from this activity and the overdevelopment; trespassing, parking, litter, noise, etc., as well as online pressure. Trespassing could be limited if the OAC removes any maps that they may have previously posted that passes through private
property. Parking should not occur on 124 or the 10th Concession, as both are dangerous sections of road with limited sight lines, high speed limits, large trucks and farm vehicles. Ontario Parks should expand their current parking for all park users. As we move forward it is my hope that we will appreciate and value our natural environment. Care and regard should be given in equal amounts to the smallest of snails or to the largest of eagles, and even the small and scraggly cedars that are so incredibly old and resilient. We did not create any of the policy, scientific research or partake in the designation of the land. We simply want the protections in place to be applied, so this special place can be enjoyed by future generations. Adam Pearce, Singhampton.

How to support your pets in a post-COVID world by Erika Ehrenreich Animals may have not liked the idea of seeing their owners leave in a hurry for work in the morning. However, things have drastically changed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. Our furry animals that may have watched us from our house windows leave for work are now snuggled underneath our desks and tables while we work from the comfort of home. They may have even made a few unexpected appearances in your Zoom meeting calls. People have been adopting animals all around the world since the start
of the pandemic, which has been wonderful to see! However, some of these animals may have not been left alone for long periods of time or not at all. This has raised a lot of questions and concerns for guardians and how can they support their pets in a post COVID world. What’s the good news? Animals are quite adaptable! However, if you are around your pet nearly 24/7 and suddenly gone for most of the day during the week, that is a significant change for your pet. Such a change needs to be gradually introduced so your pet can feel comfortable and have the time to settle into their new
routine. Dogs and cats flourish with routine and enjoy having mealtime, playtime, and even walks occurring around the same time each day. They like to know what is going to happen next, and it’s something they look forward to. With a drastic change in their routine, it can be upsetting to them, and with us being their guardians we need to ensure we are making this transition slowly. As health restrictions are being lifted across Ontario, it’s important to start your planning now and having a plan in place on how you are going to gradually introduce your pet into their new routine. The best way to begin this process is to figure out a routine

that will be similar to when you return to work. Here are some helpful tips to help transition your pet into a post COVID world. • Expose your animal more to being left alone. For example, maybe you take your dog with you to run some errands. Instead, think about leaving them at home. • If your pet has never been left alone, you will have to take things very slowly. It may be that you step outside for a quick walk around your neighbourhood without your dog. • Each day, slowly add more time that your dog is being left alone. (See “Time” on page 9)

For drawing fine things like flowers I love drawing with a 0.5mm mechanical pencil. I drew all of the cherry blossoms in stages using the same mechanical pencil with HB lead. If you don’t have one, mechanical pencils can be purchased at The Creemore Echo Newsstand. Any fine, sharp pencil will work if you just want to go ahead and use the supplies you have. You’ll want a good, sharp pencil sharpener if you’re using a traditional pencil You’ll also need a good, white eraser and a nice piece of drawing paper. STEP ONE - You’ll need to decide if you’re going to copy my cherry blossom drawing or draw a different kind of flower. You’ll need to find a good picture of your favourite spring flowers to draw from if you’re not using mine. STEP TWO - Using as few lines as possible map out where your drawing will sit on the page and how much space it will occupy. Think of this stage as the bare skeleton of your drawing. All of the smaller shapes will sit on top of it. Make sure your lines are very light, you’ll need to erase out most of this stage later on. STEP THREE - Now you’ll focus on placing the basic shapes of the flowers and leaves if you have them. You’re not drawing any details yet, just the basic space that the flowers will take up. You want to look at the empty spaces between your flowers and leaves and make sure you’re placing shapes in the right spots, relative to each other. You still want to be drawing quite lightly at this stage and you can begin erasing your under drawing. STEP FOUR - You can now begin to break down your drawing into smaller shapes. I find it easiest to place the centres of the flowers first and draw the petals out from there. Be mindful though, the “centres” are most often not dead centre in the flowers because we see them at varying angles. You can draw the bumps and high and low points in the branches or stems and play with the outlines of the petals. Even at this stage you’re keeping your lines fairly light. Erase out any block in lines left. STEP FIVE - I have chosen to keep my cherry blossoms as a line drawing, meaning it is not shaded with a variety of tones. However, I can show dimension and make a dynamic drawing by playing with the line weight (thickness) and value (darkness/lightness). I’ve generally kept my petals lighter in value because they are delicate and I’ve added some light lines inside of them to show shape and create interest. You want to make sure your drawing has a variety of light, dark, thin and thicker lines in it. If you have any questions about this challenge you can email me at sara.sniderhan@gmail.com I can’t wait to see your spring flowers.

Get back out there with Theatre Collingwood's Girls Nite Out As the provincial government has announced, Ontarians are ready to take the next step forward of reopening by easing certain public health measures, and with that, Theatre Collingwood is eagerly preparing to welcome in-person audiences back next month with a much-needed dose of comedy to kick-off their incredible 38th anniversary season. Get ready for a night of laughter and cheer with some of Canada’s funniest ladies as Theatre Collingwood presents Girls Nite Out on Monday, March 7 at 7 p.m. at the Collingwood Legion. Girls Nite Out is an all-female, all funny troupe of improv and stand-up comedy performers that will have you in stitches with their side-splitting sketches. The cast features comedy award winners, CBC darlings and Second City alumni. Led by the fearless and fabulous Elvira Kurt, Jennine Profeta, Diana Frances, and Karen Parker make up this comedic ensemble. Individually they’ve won Canadian Screen and Comedy Awards and been featured on NBC, CBC, and The Comedy Network (to name a few). Collectively they have been wowing audiences around the country with their special blend of sassiness and lady love. “With limited opportunities to get together and attend events with friends, many women have felt isolated and lonely over the last two years,” said Theatre Collingwood’s executive director, Erica Angus. “As a female-run organization, we are extremely conscious of the impact this isolation has had on everyone during the pandemic and we cannot wait to bring audiences back together. We’ve all made sacrifices to protect the health of our communities and now it’s time to come out, reconnect and have a bit of fun.” Next month also marks the international celebration of the cultural, political and historical achievements of women, when organizations large and small come together to show women just how valuable they are in today’s society. “Girls Nite Out is our first indoor event of 2022,

Time to reciprocate the support pets have offered during pandemic (Continued from page 5) • You may have been playing with your dog or cat more frequently because you are home more. Start to play with them during times you would normally if you were working such as, early in the morning or later in the evening. • For cats, it’s a great idea to provide lots of mental stimulation. This can be done by getting interactive toys that your cat can play with when you are gone. An automatic laser pointer or a treat-dispensing toy is some great toy ideas. • Providing dogs with interactive games as well will be great at keeping them busy when you are gone but will also help them mentally. Some great ideas for mental stimulating games for your dogs are puzzle games, treat-dispensing toys, Kong’s and lick mats. • Hiring a dog walker to come to help break up the day. • Allowing your dog to participate in doggy daycare where they can be around other dogs. • If you are unsure of how your animal is when

you begin to transition them to a new routine getting a camera to see how your dog reacts to you leaving. These steps will help support your animal before you go back to work. However, it is important to understand and look out for signs of stress and anxiety. Some common signs of stress and anxiety are: pacing, refusing food, drooling, excessive barking, destruction, and improper urination/ defecation. If you think that your animal is experiencing any of these signs of anxiety it is important to seek help from a professional that has the credentials and experience working with these behaviours. Remember that during the last couple of years it’s been quite the challenge for many people and our animals have been there to support us. Now it’s our jobs as guardians to help support our animals by setting them up for success in a world after the pandemic.

Daytime Team win-loss-tie Bell 3-2-1 Coulter 3-2-1 Martens 3-3-0 Walker 3-2-0 McDougall 2-3-0 Loranger 2-4-0 From the Hack: On Monday morning it was cold in the ice shed. Teams Walker and Bell warmed up sufficiently, to easily beat Teams Martens and Loranger, respectively! On both sheets of ice, there were always eight to 10 stones out front, each end, for the skips to play with. Made for some excellent raises, some called... and some not! Apologies accepted! Wednesday saw our first tie game. Jim and Ron, the skips for Teams Bell and Coulter, threw excellent takeout shots making for exciting ends. On Sheet 2, Bill, Marty, Karen and Gail, of Team Martens, laid down some superb shots enabling them to come from behind and beat Team Loranger. Good curling everyone! Ladies Team win-loss Crawford 2-0 Verstegen 2-1 McKay 1-1 Millsap 1-2 Walker 0-2 From the Hack: It may have been Valentine’s Day, but there was no love lost on either sheet on Monday. High scoring wins achieved by Teams Crawford and Verstegen. Back from curling retirement, Marie has almost perfected her draw and take out weights. First time vice Natalie looked confident and played well.

IN MEMORIAM
In Loving Memory of Florence CLARKE, A dear aunt who passed away on Feb. 21, 2001. Tenderly we treasure the past, With memories that always last. Lovingly remembered by Doug and Margaret. In loving memory of Myrna CLARKE a dear wife and mother who passed away Feb. 17, 1984. Sadly missed along life's way, Quietly remembered everyday. No longer in our life to share, But in our hearts you are always there. Lovingly remembered by Doug, Lorie and John. Gertie and Maurice WEATHERALL Remembering mom who passed away 25 years ago Feb. 16, 1997 and dad who passed away one year ago March 18, 2021. She could fish, when she had no reel, She could bake, when she had no recipe, She could quilt, when she had no pattern, She could enjoy her birds, when she didn’t know their names, She could listen, when her hearing aids failed, She could love, without giving material goods. And now... We must live, when she is not here with us. Because that is what mom taught us. DAD’S TEACHINGS: Do you need it? Can you pay for it? Can you fix it? Can you grow it? Can you resell it? “If not, then damned if it’s my worry!” Sadly missed by Maureen and Russ, Heather and Dave and families – the kids that already know that ‘Good food is better than good medicine!’
