Two halls to be renovated in 2022 Avening, Sunnidale Corners first halls to undergo accessibility renovations by Trina Berlo Clearview council held a special meeting Wednesday to advance plans for accessibility renovations at six community halls. Mayor Doug Measures noted that a lot of work has been done to get to this point in the process and he hoped for a resolution. The recommendations presented by general manager of parks and recreation Terry Vachon, who noted they are the result of a “diligent process” were supported unanimously, for the most part. In a nutshell, council agreed to

Avening Hall

Sunnidale Corners hall

proceed with renovations starting this year with halls in Avening and Sunnidale Corners, because they already have plans in the works. Halls in Duntroon and Brentwood would be renovated in 2023, and then proceeding with halls in Dunedin and Nottawa. It was noted that Dunedin may need further investigation into solutions for the septic system, and council is hoping that volunteers in

Nottawa will commit to fundraising if given more time. Vachon had recommended hall boards commit to a 10 per cent fundraising target but after an incamera discussion the matter is still up for discussion with volunteers. Councillor Doug McKechnie would not support the motion, saying he prefers the 10 per cent target (See “Fundraising” on page 9)

Council members plan to retire by Trina Berlo The political landscape will be changing in Clearview Township as a new council structure comes into effect with the upcoming October election. Council has voted to reduce the number of councillors from seven to five and redraw the ward boundaries accordingly. With the upcoming changes, we polled council members to ask if they would divulge whether or not they planned to file when the nomination period opens on May 2. Some members are understandably undecided at this time, but others are not. In Creemore, Thom Paterson said he will be putting his name forward to represent the newly formed Ward 2, saying “I’m excited to contribute to the implementation of the changes this Council has initiated and to address the challenges facing Clearview going forward.” Deputy Mayor Barry Burton has

said he will not seek re-election. Burton is retiring and moving north to Burk’s Falls, to the home he has built on the Magnetewan River, and has plans to restore a second boat. “Creemore is a great place,” said Burton. “We’ve become part of the community. We were accepted with open arms but it’s time for us to make a decision.” “I have no complaints. I enjoyed it for sure. My only wish is that I’d done it 10 years sooner,” he said. “There are going to be big changes at county [council] too. I know a lot of mayors who are retiring and not coming back,” said Burton. He said he can think of a number of community members he would like to see run for council, but also hopes there will be some younger candidates, and new residents also. Connie Leishman told The Echo that she too is retiring from politics, and will take time to focus on maintaining her health.

“I’m really sorry I can’t run again. I wish I had started this business about two terms before I did and then I’d probably still be going because I love it, I love the people, I love change and I just love politics,” said Leishman. She said she would like to see more women putting their name forward. She and Phyllis Dineen, who has said she is undecided if she will run again, are the only two women on council. They have been involved in an effort to engage more women in politics but Leishman said they haven’t had much interest. John Broderick said he plans to seek re-election in Ward 3 (Stayner north), which will take in part of the former Ward 6, represented by Leishman. Doug McKechnie also said he would not be seeking re-election as a ward councillor but is undecided about running for deputy mayor. He said there are a number of other people he would like to see run for the seat. (See “Municipal” on page 8)

OPINION LETTER

I’m a cyclist... and a local... and I’m sorry...

Editor: I’d like to comment on the recent letters by both Don Laverdure and Pat MacDonald. First off, let me say that I’m a cyclist. I’m also a resident of the area...and I drive a pick-up. If that isn’t an oxymoron, I don’t know what is. I wholeheartedly agree with both views. I believe the roads are safe with the posted speeds... as long as they are adhered to, which is a rarity both by locals and visitors to our area. Just today I was passed by a local (whom I know) doing at least 80 km/hr in town. Changing the numbers on a road sign isn’t going to work, especially with police being preoccupied with other relatively more important duties. The dangers of speeding are not just a cyclist issue, though many would say that it’s they who are the most vocal. The hazards to those on horses and the farmers on the road with their equipment are just as real. People, quite simply, just need to slow down. And if they don’t, get their licence number and report them to the OPP. If they get enough complaints, they’ll deal with it. As to the cyclists, I’m embarrassed to say, as one of them I have to agree with some of the comments made. The number of times that I’ve passed large groups of them in my truck riding all over the road and three abreast is excessive. They should know better as most clubs have riding etiquette rules that the riders need to sign as part of their disclaimers. These yahoos are making it tough for cyclists like me who have to put up with the angst by the drivers afterwards. I’ll bet that the number of times Pat has been yelled at with foul language by a group of cyclists equals the number of times I’ve been yelled at or even pushed over by a driver from the area. The best way to handle that is to find out which club they belong to (look at the jersey) and contact the club with your complaint. If they won’t do anything call the OPP and register the club with them. Again, if they get enough complaints, they’ll deal with it. Changing laws to govern how people should act towards each other, like lowering the speed limit, isn’t the answer. Neither is being angry at all cyclists. All people need to do is learn how to live socially, although I think we’ve forgotten how to do that. Slow down when you come up on someone or something going slower. Group cyclists learn some damn etiquette. Everyone... flip a wave and a “would you mind” instead of flipping the bird and an “F” word. Herb Koch, Glencairn.

LETTER

You can’t stay in your lane to safely pass a cyclist Editor: It is not possible to safely and legally pass a cyclist, even in a single file, without moving into the opposite lane. Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act (HTA) clearly states that a minimum of one meter must be kept between motor vehicles and cyclists. Rural roads typically have a lane width (the distance between the yellow line and the end of the pavement) of less 3.5 meters. Fairgrounds Road is closer to 3.2 meters. A pick-up truck is about 2.45 meters wide. To keep the bicycle wheels a safe distance from the unpaved shoulder, the rider will occupy a minimum of one meter of space. A motor vehicle’s side mirror cannot be any closer than one meter from that point, for a total of 2.45 + 1 + 1 = 4.45 meters from the end of the pavement. On Fairgrounds Road, the pick-up truck is sticking out in the opposite lane by a minimum 1.25 meter (over four feet) when legally passing a single bicycle. You can only safely pass a single cyclist by pulling into

the opposite lane, which is only possible if you have a clear view of the road ahead. This is not always possible on hilly and curvy roads. What about cyclists riding side-by-side? It’s not too surprising that cyclists like to ride together and talk. The HTA does not explicitly forbid side-by-side riding but tells cyclists to pull to the right in a single file when being passed. Pulling over quickly is challenging with poor sightlines due to hills and curves when vehicles are moving quickly. There isn’t always time. Pulling over is the right thing to do, and it does not eliminate the need for vehicles to move to the opposite lane when passing. Slower speeds make roads safer for all by giving all users more time to react. The presence of cyclists is only one of the factors involved in determining safe speeds, but definitely not the primary one. Gaetan Tardif, Creemore.

LETTERS

Cyclists show lack of respect for mourners Editor: I have always respected bikers on the roads wherever I travel and give them a wide berth as I have a family member that bikes a lot but not so much in this area. I lost some of that respect on Saturday in front of the funeral parlour. As a coffin was being placed in the hearse, two bikers came down the main street flat out, there was a fairly large gathering behind the hearse and some were close to the edge of the street including myself. I could feel the wind off these dudes. They had no respect for the speed limit or for the fact a funeral was still in progress. I recall back in the day when cars would pull over when a hearse was approaching and men would take their hats off. Maybe these guys were in a hurry to get a seat at the Old Mill or a free beer sample at the brewery. It upset me as it happened to be my wife being put in the hearse. Roger Zeggil, Stayner.

Village spring clean proposed Editor: It’s the week before Easter and our little village needs our help. I live beside the church on Caroline Street West in Creemore and have noticed quite a few large dog waste piles. Close to the number that has been recorded in The Echo from the Creemore Nature Preserve. Dog waste doesn’t decompose. It adds harmful bacteria and nutrients to local waters, when it’s not disposed of properly. It goes into your green bin. My neighbour has even attached a dispenser filled with poo bags to a hydro pole. It is ready for dog owners that have “forgotten” their bags. Unfortunately some dog owners let their dogs go wherever they want and they walk on without taking

their responsibility of pet ownership. If you see that dog owner that ignores what his dog has done just hand him a bag and say, “Oh, you forgot a bag, here is one for you.” Chances are they will remember to have a bag handy if enough people are on poo patrol. I own a dog and my neighbour owns three. We pick up after our dogs and what people leave on our lawn and sidewalk. I am asking everyone to take a few bags and spring clean the residential streets of our village this week before Easter. Poo for sure but also coffee cups, beer cans, and plastic water bottles, basically, all litter. Let’s make walking around the village of Creemore pleasurable, not a mine field. Melissa Doherty, Creemore.

Municipal election nominations open May 1 (Continued from page 1) “I’m going to wait to see who decides to run and hopefully it will be someone I can support and assist in their campaign,” said McKechnie. “The quality that I am most looking for is leadership and team building.” He said he is encouraging young people to join the race, hoping their fresh ideas would be a nice balance for the newly formed council. Ward 4 (Stayner south) councillor Robert Walker said he is dealing with some health issues and is undecided at this time. Nominations for municipal election are open from May 2 until August 19. On Election Day, Oct. 24, Clearview residents will elect five ward councillors, in addition to one mayor and one deputy mayor, who also sit on

New Ganaraska Hiking Trail guide available The Ganaraska Hiking Trail Association has launched of a new Trail Guide. The trail begins in Port Hope and runs north to a terminus in Glen Huron before branching off into two trunks. It is more than 500 kilometres in total, with about 300 of those located within Simcoe County. The 50-kilometre Mad River section of trail goes from Angus to Glen Huron, and through the communities of New Lowell, Glencairn, Avening and Creemore. The Ganaraska Mad River Hiking Club is very active in maintaining the local section of trail for the enjoyment of everyone. The maps were developed with cartographer Lyle Wood, of Barrie, and the a mapping committee, and are “a far cry from what used to be just a red line on a map.” The new Trail Guide includes a series of 33 maps plus an index, as well as trail descriptions (with latitude and longitude coordinates). They provide hikers with the option of either a printed map or a mobile device map application, called Ondago. Both offer hikers all the needed detail to be useable as a navigation tool in the field in whichever format they choose, to learn about and enjoy the trail from end to end. The Ganaraska Hiking Trail website also contains information on how to navigate the trail. See The Trail/

Trail Sections with Maps for the maps and descriptions, organized by club. T h e n e w Tr a i l G u i d e , w i t h downloadable and printable maps and trail descriptions, has now been posted at www.ganaraska.hiking-trail.org. The Ondago mobile app and the associated maps can also be downloaded for free from igloocreations.com/en/ download/ to your mobile device and then search for Ganaraska maps. The Ganaraska Hiking Trail Association Inc. is a not for profit charitable organization. The nine member clubs of the Ganaraska Hiking Trail Association Inc. have built and maintain this recreational trail extending from Port Hope on Lake Ontario to the Bruce Trail near Collingwood, with side trails to Wasaga Beach and Midland. Each club maintains the trail system for all to enjoy. The Mad River Club is active all year round, with hikes, snowshoeing and social activities. Membership costs $25 for the family, which helps to cover the costs associated with trail maintenance and includes liability insurance. Find Ganaraska Hiking Trail - Mad River Club on Facebook.

Fundraising commitments yet to be determined (Continued from page 1) “It’s too big for me,” he said. “I think we are creating winners and losers amongst the hall boards.” Councillor Connie Leishman said she didn’t support the motion in camera but would support it in open session, even though she agrees with McKechnie. “Because I want to get on with it and I want the MOUs for the halls. In terms of finances, at the suggestion of treasurer Kelly MacDonald, council agreed to fund the first two renovations from the reserve fund set up for the halls, which is at $1.8 million, and borrow to fund the next four.

Wednesday’s meeting allows staff to go to tender, the results of which will reveal the true costs of the project. Vachon said that if the costs are much higher than anticipated, he will have to come back to council for re-evaluation. Councillor Robert Walker continues to express concerns about the viability of the halls and was asking for some kind of escape clause. Yet, when McKechnie put put forward a motion that would make the renovations hinge on a 10 per cent fundraising commitment, he couldn’t get a seconder. The construction period for each hall is expected to be about eight months, with two projects being done simultaneously in each of the three years.

BAILEY, Alfred passed away peacefully on Monday, April 4, 2022, with family by his side, at Campbell House, at the age of 91. Alf hailed from Toronto but loved his time spent in Creemore. He had a strong work ethic, joining the electrical trade at the age of fifteen, and building his home in Toronto and Big Gull Lake cottage. Alf loved to tinker in his garage, but always had time to chat to friends, neighbours, or passers-by and share a story or two. His sense of humour and imagination created memories that will never be forgotten by those who knew him. Alf was the beloved husband of Gladys for 70 years and loving father of Janice (John Morrison), and Mark. He was very proud of his grandchildren Ian (Maggie), Alex (Cassie), Eric, and Ryan. The antics of his great grandchildren Aiden, Jonah, James, Adam, and Ella always brought a smile to his face.The family would like to send a special thanks to Dr. Xie and the Creemore Medical Staff, St. Elizabeth’s nurse Shelby, PSW Michelle, and the staff at Campbell House for their compassionate, excellent care. Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations can be made to Campbell House - Hospice Georgian Triangle Foundation. Alf will be forever loved and missed by all who knew him. Friends may visit Alf’s online Book of Memories at www. fawcettfuneralhomes.com.

DEATH NOTICE

ROBERTSON, STUART MCGREGOR November 3, 1947 to March 27, 2022 It is with great sadness that Stuart’s family announces the death of a beloved father, brother, partner and friend. Stuart (affectionally known as Touie) was the son of the late Rocke and Roslyn Robertson and was predeceased by his brothers Tam (Marion), Ian (Bonnie) and his wife Mary “Meema” (nee Keene). He is survived by his only sister Bea, his children Sydney and James and his partner Maggie Webster. He was a loyal and caring friend to many, a devoted and loving father to Sydney and James and a treasured brother to Bea (Baboo). His last years were full of the love and friendship of Maggie and their beloved cat, Monkey Bob. Stuart was born in Vancouver and moved with his family to Montreal in 1959. He was educated at Lower Canada College, Bishop’s University, Leeds University in England and he received his law degree from Queen’s University. He was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1974 and began his distinguished legal career in Media Law with the CBC in Ottawa. In 1994 he was a founding partner of ORP Lawyers in Toronto. His clients included most of Canada’s biggest publications and broadcasters including the CBC, The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, the National Post and for the last three decades, the Canadian Press. A beloved teacher and mentor, he was committed to education. He authored several books on Media Law and was nationally recognized for his accomplishments. In 2019 he received the Governor’s Award from The National Newspaper Awards for his “tireless service for upholding and defending the integrity of journalism across the country.” Stuart and Mary settled their family in the hills of Creemore, Ontario and spent many wonderful years there. After Mary’s passing he remained in Toronto with his children nearby. The last 11 years were spent with his partner Maggie Webster. They spent the Covid years at Maggie’s home in North Hatley, Quebec where he died on Sunday, March 27 of a heart attack following a battle with pulmonary fibrosis. To quote a colleague of Touie’s, “I’ve never met anyone else who could provide important guidance with so much thoughtfulness, understanding and compassion.” His presence will be sorely missed and many memories will remain of a gentle man, with a wry sense of humour, a quick and curious brain, a loving manner and a guiding principle of fairness and justice. A memorial service is being planned to be held at the family farm in Creemore. More details will follow. In lieu of flowers a donation may be made in his memory to The Georgian Triangle Humane Society or to the charity of your choice.

Edward and Melissa (nee Hunter) Hanna. He will also be missed by his nieces and nephews Susan Hanna, Debbie Hanna, Sharon Ainley and Paul Hanna and their families. Following the sudden death of his brother Doug, Jim partnered with Ed Hanna and Lyle Dickey in 1960 to take over Hanna Motors the Ford dealership in Collingwood and Stayner for the next 38 years and remained in a leadership role until just recently. He had a strong work ethic and was dedicated to Hanna Motors and it’s employees. Jim forged many friendships with the long time customers and the community as a whole. He enjoyed talking and sharing stories with anyone he encountered. His passion was being outdoors, fishing, hockey and baseball which he shared with all his family and friends. Jim was always excited about his fishing trips to Grassy Lake especially when he had grandchildren. He loved his family and the times they spent together. He will be deeply missed. Friends were received at the Carruthers & Davidson Funeral Home – Stayner Chapel, 7313 Highway 26, Stayner on Thursday, April 7, 2022 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. A private service will be held at a later date.
