Tune in daily for Good Morning Creemore by Tiffy Barlow Creemore Echo Communications intends to add a significant amount of pizazz to its ever growing media empire by expanding into local cable network television, launching a glitzy morning talk show. Good Morning Creemore will rival Good Morning America and Breakfast Television, sure to steal viewers who would rather hear even more about sexy topics like speed limits, garbage can sizes and Ontario Land Tribunals. Publisher Sara Hershoff will host this throw-back talk show with her trusty sidekick and editor Trina Berlo. The set is being built, video cameras have been borrowed from the museum, and the show is about to start. Appearing each weekday morning, to analyze and anticipate the important topics of the day, viewers will be riveted by in-depth discussions on opening hours of the township administration centre, the merits of curbside service in a post-covid world, and daily updates on capacity at the sewage treatment plant.

“While we never shy away from these important topics, the show will also provide us an opportunity to explore the lighter side of life in Creemore,” said Hershoff. Guests will be selectively invited

to make special appearances to share fashion tips, lifestyle and home decor expertise. Wondering how to get that farm chic look at double the price? What footwear is most resistant to Creemore’s sandy streets? And,

are scrunchies really back in style? Segments will include “Traffic Talk,” “Echo MD” and “Poop Patrol,” where we catch people in the act of neglecting their poop-and-scoop obligations. “No topic is taboo,” said Hershoff. “And no expense will be spared.” Good Morning Creemore will tap into a wealth of local knowledge with celebrity guests from The Horticultural Society, The Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society, the Tree Society of Creemore, and the Creemore Society of Societies. And of course, the news! The news will not be overlooked. Expect more news tickers than any other morning show with up to the second weather for all local hamlets, and plans are in the works for an eye-in-the-sky traffic cam perched high atop Creemore’s forthcoming three-storey buildings. The show launches April 1st. Tune in to Channel 3 every weekday morning at 7 a.m. Lucky daily contest winners will get free copies of the previous week’s newspaper.

Partners launch Creemore food bank by Trina Berlo A working group of community members and business owners are working out a plan to support local families in need by establishing a food bank in Creemore. St. Luke’s Anglican Church Rev. Lorna May said there is an existing program to assist those in need, coordinated through the church, with the support of Creemore Foodland and others. At Christmas, assistance was provided to 100 local families and she routinely gives out grocery gift cards. May said she has become aware that the need for an enhanced support network is growing, and it is only

exacerbated by housing costs, the price of gas and the ongoing impact of the pandemic. Transportation and hours of operation can be barriers to accessing the food bank in Stayner. Working with May so far is Sim Spry, of Foodland, Linda deWinter, of Creemore 100 Mile Store, John and Marie Miller, of Miller’s Dairy, Sandra Lackie, Joan Gordon and Sheila Koss. The plan is to start small and provide assistance in a most sensitive manner by packing and delivering food to those who sign up. The program will provide a conduit

for local businesses that have excess products and are looking for a way to get them to those who would benefit. The food bank will be accepting monetary donations and hopes to use those funds to purchase from local businesses those expensive essential household items such as laundry soap and paper products. At this point, May said the group is looking to connect with potential partners that may have something to offer. The hope is to provide high quality, fresh and healthy food, as opposed to limiting supplies to canned and non-perishable food.

May said the food bank will be housed at St. Luke’s Anglican Church. Volunteers will be needed to pack and deliver the food once the program is fully operational. Program coordinators hope to grow the program to include an education component, and maybe develop a logo with the help of youth. They are open to ideas and input, as they work to assess the need in the community. Anyone with something to offer, or anyone in need, is encourage to call Lorna May at 705-352-2759 or leave a message at the church, 705-466-2206.

Indigenous Voice celebrated

THE WAY WE WERE

LIBRARY NEWS

Reel Canada is pleased to announce that the ninth annual National Canadian Film Day (NCFD) to celebrate Indigenous Voices will take place coast to coast on Wednesday, April 20. Here at the Clearview Michele McKENZIE Public Library in the Stayner Community Arena Hall at 1 p.m. in the afternoon, we are presenting Angelique's Isle. Tickets are free (but required). Reserve your seat, loot bag and snack pack by calling 705-428-3595 or e-mailing publicprogramming@clearview.ca. This movie is based on the novel Angelique Abandoned by James R. Stevens and the true story of 17-year-old Angelique Mott. Set in the midst of the 1845 mining boom on the shores of Lake Superior, newlywed Anishinaabe woman Angelique (played by Julia Jones) agrees to accompany her voyageur husband on a copper expedition. Left by the rest of the crew to guard a large discovery on a remote island, the couple must survive through a harsh winter with dwindling food supplies. Things then go from bad to worse. Taking a lesson from the message of this film, we have decided that April is our Good Things Grow at Clearview month here at the library. To celebrate our re-opening on Tuesdays (starting April 5), we are introducing our Clearview Public Library Seed Libraries at the Creemore, New Lowell and Stayner Branches. Our resident Plant Doctor will be answering your gardening questions sourced from our GTG@C question boxes every Saturday at High Noon in cyberspace on our Facebook page. Please look for Herald the Library Dragon as he emerges from his lair on Friday, April 22 to appear with us at the Earth Day Event in the Clearview EcoPark from noon to 6 p.m., where he will be discovering just how fast Jack’s Magic Beanstalk grows. Have you remembered to order your Georgian Good Food Box (705-428-5537) by Wednesday, April 6 for delivery on Wednesday, April 20th? March is definitely leaving like a lion as we weather yet another storm of freezing rain and temperatures but somewhere in the world, there are daffodils and apple blossoms blooming. It will be our turn soon!

Disregard for rules of the road no reason to lower speed limits Editor: I wish to commend Don Laverdure for his insightful letter in the March 25 edition of The Creemore Echo (Motorists reacting to unsafe cyclists). I agree with him 100 per cent. We have had some very nasty experiences with bicyclists on the 4th and 6th Lines heading north out of Creemore. We have been yelled at with foul language when we suggest that they ride in single file to the right-hand side of the road. We have had to stop at a four-way stop while a “herd” of them blissfully ride

Roaming rovers threaten ecosystems The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is providing human and canine visitors with simple tips on how to be responsible nature lovers at its properties: among them, leashing dogs and picking up dog waste. “When left unchecked, dogs and dog waste threaten

through the stop sign on the road they are riding on. We have rural roads here. Unfortunately, many bicyclists have no idea how to ride safely on these roads. We are not in cities with bike lanes. I realize that we do not have enough police officers to police our rural roads on a continual basis during the bicycling season. The cyclists bad manners and lack of understanding of the rules of the road is no reason to lower the speed limits for automobiles. Pat MacDonald, Creemore.

THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, April 1, 2022 •

Nature conservancy encourages dog owners to protect pets and plants when visiting nature preserve (Continued from page 2) pet owners will leave the space clean and ready to welcome them again on their next visit. Picking up after your dog is also an act of respect to the many people, of all ages, visiting the preserve.” When dogs rove off-leash, they can harm species, crush eggs and nestlings, or even find themselves nose to nose with wild coyotes. Come spring and summer, opportunistic ticks can latch onto roaming pets for a meal and then transfer them to humans. This risk can be reduced by keeping dogs leashed, where they can be kept away from tall grasses and other tick habitat. Leashing your dog makes it even easier to pick up after them, too. This is important, because dog waste can contaminate nature with foreign bacteria, diseases and unnatural nutrients that can severely impact local plants. It can also be an awful surprise when it turns up on the bottom of a visitor’s walking shoes. To protect nature, our dogs, ourselves and our enjoyment of nature, it’s vital — and it’s the law — that all fourlegged visitors to the Creemore Nature Preserve stay on-trail and on-leash, as is posted at the main trail head. By reducing our impact on natural spaces, we give plants and animals their best chance at success. “We know that exploring nature helps us connect with nature and understand nature’s benefits to us,” says Simpson. “Nature needs allies, and getting out there helps build these forces for good, but we have to respect its needs as well.”

Goddard, a life of music and prose by Trina Berlo “The finest music journalist that Canada produced has died,” begins a Toronto Star article about the life and death of Peter Goddard, musician, ethnomusicologist, journalist, and Creemore resident. Goddard attended The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, where his father Jack Goddard was a teacher and examiner, where he studied with Margaret Butler, and as a pianist earned a solo performer diploma, his proudest professional accomplishment. He went on to the University of Toronto, earning a bachelor’s degree in music and later a master’s degree in ethnomusicology. Goddard is the author of more than 20 books including The Sounding, a novel, and books about Ronnie Hawkins, the Rolling Stones, Genesis, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Frank Sinatra, The Who, Cyndi Lauper, Duran Duran and most recently published a book about Glenn Gould. He began writing for newspapers in 1966 and was the music critic for The Toronto Star from 1972-1988. He was the last recipient of the Juno Award for Canadian Music Journalist of the Year in 1972 and in 1982 he received a National Newspaper Award for Critical Writing. Goddard followed the music scene in his home city of Toronto and also spent time in France and Creemore. Carol Ann said her husband discovered Creemore in 1983. She recounts that as a member of the Anglican Young People’s Association, Goddard, and his father, came to Creemore in search of Rev. George Daily. “He didn’t find George Daily but he found Creemore and he fell in love with it,” said Carol Ann. She said they got in touch with the real estate agent the next day, and were recommended two properties. She and Peter went to see them shortly afterwards and considered a property on Ten Hill. Carol Ann said

Peter Goddard they were on their way back to Toronto to see a Blue Jays game and decided, yes, they wanted it so Peter turned the car around, they went back and made an offer. The Goddards were welcomed by the Fairgrounds Road community, and with daughter Kate, enjoyed community picnics and the help of neighbours who knew a lot more about working on the land than they did. Goddard, a philanthropist, was also engaged in the fight against the wind turbines, and also a member of CARA – Creemore and Area Residents’ Association, volunteering each year at the tree lighting. Goddard paid tribute to the community in a 1989 Toronto Star article entitled Hockey Night in Creemore, a story about the frenzy around the Creemore Chiefs, the senior hockey team of the day. “Creemore, just south of Collingwood, is so small you get to know even most of the dogs by name. The hills low around

it are settled by well-to-do “weekenders” and farmers making a successful go of it, two cultures as unalike as the as the Finns and Brazilians. But when The Chiefs are in the playoffs the town is entirely of one mind. “Last Wednesday, when they played the Durham Huskies in the deciding game in the quarterfinals, about 700 folks turned out. Players’ wives were there screaming. Kids, dads, granddads and even city slickers were there as Toddy and Jilly – That’s Creemore for Gilles Ouellette – and the rest murdered the suckers. “Shoot, the town only has 1,200 people. The arena seats only 400. It’s a sleepy place. But on hockey night it gets so crowded in the arena you have to go outside to change your mind. “And did Creemore win? “Is a pig’s behind pork?” Goddard died on March 23 at the age of 78, of glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer.

Darci-que is assembling prize baskets for the BIA's upcoming Easter scavenger hunt on April 16. Below, right: Students at Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School were commissioned to make decorations for the event.

Plans are in the works for Easter festivities in Creemore. A scavenger hunt will be held downtown from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 16. This BIA sponsored event is being organized by darci-que and will be a variation on the traditional egg hunt. Youngsters are invited to come to Bunny Headquarters during that time to get the instructions. Students at Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School have been painting eggs with words and numbers in preparation for the event. Bunny Headquarters will be set up in a tent on Mill Street in front of Home Hardware, just look for the balloons,

and it will be home base for the hunt, also offering crafts and activities. There will be music and the Easter Bunny himself will be joining in the fun. Although it is not a race, there will be prizes and anyone who completes the scavenger hunt successfully will be entered into a draw for one of three Easter baskets, containing items donated by Creemore BIA district businesses. “Nobody will go home empty handed,” said darci-que. Look for a special colouring sheet in next week’s edition of The Creemore Echo and bring the completed picture to the event for even more prizes and treats.

Sunshine List released

Youth centre grant supports nutrition, food security Clearview Youth Centre has been awarded $5,000 from the Government of Canada’s Second Harvest Emergency Food Security Fund. Second Harvest is the largest food rescue organization in Canada and a global thought leader in food recovery, working across the supply chain to capture surplus perishable food before it ends up in a landfill. The funds from Second Harvest will support the continued purchase of healthy food for youth using the Centre and provide them with programs and activities that focus on nutrition and its importance in supporting their current and future well-being. “These funds go a long way, not only towards educating youth on nutrition, but in supporting youth who may appreciate a snack or meal more than we know,” said Youth Coordinator Shannon

McCormick. “COVID-19 has been tough on our youth and providing them with meals, specifically nutritious meals that contribute to their physical and mental well-being, is what the Youth Centre strives for.” The Youth Centre’s Wellness Wednesday programming will teach youth about food shopping with a focus on finding and choosing nutritious items which they will use to cook meals and make snacks that incorporate a variety of healthy food items. Launched in April 2020, the Government of Canada’s Emergency Food Security Fund improves access to food for Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting six national food organizations, including Second Harvest.

Peter wrote many books, the last published one was on Glenn Gould The Great Gould, 2017 Dundurn Press. He wrote for radio and TV and has contributed to many publications such as Maclean’s, Exile and The Creemore Star. A memorial followed by a graveside service will take place Tuesday, May 24 at 11 a.m. at St. Peter’s Erindale Anglican Church, 3041 Mississauga Road, Mississauga.
