Mulmur councillor moves from riding, vacates seat

Staff photo: Trina Berlo

Brian Saunderson surrounded by his family members on Election Day June 2 as he addresses the audience gathered at Bear Estate in Collingwood moments after he was declared the winner of the riding, and designating him the new member of parliament for Simcoe-Grey.

Saunderson sails to victory in Simcoe-Grey by Trina Berlo PC candidate Brian Saunderson won the riding of Simcoe Grey by a landslide on Election Day getting 51 per cent of the vote. Election results put Saunderson in a seat at Queen’s Park with 27,067 votes, miles ahead of Liberal Ted Crysler with 11,687 votes. Saunderson gathered at Bear Estate in Collingwood with family and supporters June 2 to watch the polling results roll in. “Tonight, the people of SimcoeGrey and Ontario have chosen a Progressive Conservative government that cares about Ontarians, cares about jobs, cares about affordability, cares about healthcare, long-term care, and cares about education,” he said during his acceptance speech. “This is a Progressive Conservative government

that is going to take action, work with stakeholder groups and private sector to address the issues that are of concern to you and get things done.” Saunderson recognized outgoing PC MPP Jim Wilson for his 32 years of service, saying he knows he has big shoes to fill. “My commitment to you is to meet that challenge,” he said. He thanked his team for getting him where he is, including those who organized the campaign, donated, hammered signs and knocked on doors. “It was an incredible team effort. I personally knocked on almost 3,000 doors and I had some people with me who knocked on as many as that, so it was really a fantastic effort and I think the results have been shown today,” said Saunderson.

He credited his parents Bill and Meredith Saunderson, who joined in the celebration via Skype, for inspiring his political aspirations. He said he cut his political chops during heated family debates around the dinner table. He said his parents are long-time political operatives going back to the days of Dalton Camp, Robert Stanfield and Bill Davis. He said his father was part of the Common Sense Revolution and served as Mike Harris’ minister of trade, tourism and economic development in the mid1990s. “I relied extensively on both Bill and Meredith’s advice throughout this process. They will forget more about politics than I think I’ll ever know,” said Saunderson. He was joined Thursday night by (See “Saunderson” on page 5)

Ken Cufaro has resigned from Mulmur council, leaving a vacancy that is to be filled by appointment. “By way of this email this is to inform you I am no longer a resident of Mulmur Township and therefore no longer eligible to remain on Mulmur Council,” wrote Cufaro on May 19. Council has determined it will appoint someone to fill the vacancy for the rest of the council term ending Nov. 14, rather than holding a bielection. Interested candidates may submit the necessary paperwork, in person with identification, by 2 p.m. on June 29 at the Township Administrative Office. See mulmur.ca for the required forms. Certified registered Candidates will be afforded the opportunity to address council for a period of not more than five minutes and will be asked to answer council’s questions at the July 6 meeting. Candidates must be a resident of the township, or an owner or tenant of land in the township, or the spouse of such an owner or tenant, be 18 or older and a Canadian citizen.

Habitat for Humanity celebrates 20 years With the arrival of 2022 comes a Habitat celebration! Habitat for Humanity South Georgian Bay is proud to honour 20 years of helping individuals and families in need build a place to call home. “We recognize that we could not have reached this milestone without the support of our community,” said Joy Fleury, Executive Director, Habitat SGB. Habitat is inviting everyone to take part by attending Habitat’s 20th Anniversary Celebration & AGM. “This milestone is an important one to recognize, particularly all those who have been part of our 20 years in South Georgian Bay – volunteers, past board members, homeowners, staff, donors, sponsors – past, present and future, everyone who has been part of our past success and anyone who wants to be involved as we keep building our future,” said Fleury. In the spirit of Habitat’s long history of community involvement, there will be a potluck dinner from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 22 at Trinity United Church, 140 Maple Street, Collingwood.

Start planning for Hort Society's Summer Flower Show Creemore Horticultural Society’s Summer Flower Show will be held at Station-on-the-Green on Saturday, July 16, from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. This year, along with a wonderful showing of summer flowers straight from members’ gardens, there will be some other exciting features. The centrepiece this year, artfully arranged by groups of members, will be of different eras displayed as small vignettes. These, of course, must be accompanied by a suitable floral accent. But that’s not all! Included in the

show is a Community Display titled “Broken Pot Gardens.” So don’t throw out your broken pots! Instead make them into a cool garden. Be creative. Need some ideas? Pinterest and Google have good suggestions. Have fun but start your garden soon. Try for a great prize. Bring your creations to the Station on the Green on Friday, July 15, between 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to have them put into an exciting display ready for the Saturday show. Need additional information? Just call 705-466-2315.

Police checks now available online The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is moving record checks online as of June 13. The new process will allow those living in OPP-policed communities to submit requests for police record checks at opp.ca/ recordchecks. The online application process will allow members of the public to

apply quickly, easily and securely for: Criminal Record Check (CRC), Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC), Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC), and OPP Non-Parent Custody Check (LE213). The fees for record checks remain unchanged: Record checks: $41; Fingerprints: $90; and Volunteer checks remain free.

Correction The Echo apologizes for an error made in the reporting of Thom Paterson’s May 30 motion titled Patios, Parking & Pedestrians (Paterson proposes permanent patio permission, The Creemore Echo, Friday June 3, p. 7) with regard to issues with angle parking in Creemore. The motion called for staff to place signage prohibiting angled

parking on both sides of Elizabeth Street approximately 120m west of Mill Street; and place signage prohibiting angled parking on the south boulevard of Edward Street abutting the Gowan Park fence line as soon as the Creemore Medical Centre temporary parking facility is available for use. Sorry for the mix up.

Saunderson said he expects his experience as mayor of Collingwood, specifically in his role on Simcoe County Council, will help him adapt at Queen’s Park. He told media his priorities for the riding include seeing the hospitals built in Collingwood and Alliston, a new school for Alliston, and addressing affordability. During the campaign, Saunderson was lauded for his environmental record as mayor. When asked how he planned to carry forward his environmental agenda as a member of the PC party he said, “I think the PC party has a very solid environmental plan, the Made in Ontario Environment Plan, which focusses on our Great Lakes and our water quality, which is very important to Georgian Bay and Wasaga Beach. That’s 20 per cent of the fresh water in the world, and it supplies 75 per cent of our drinking water to residents in Ontario.” “I also think sustainability and green jobs is a priority for this government making Ontario one of the leaders in electric vehicles and battery manufacturing and activating the north to bring the fire to make sure we have a solid economy up there harvesting those minerals for batteries.

THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, June 10, 2022 •

All aboard, Station on the Green marks 20 years by Trina Berlo Creemore’s Station on the Green will celebrate its 20th anniversary this month with an open house and ceremony. Station manager Debbie Hill says, as always, it will be a community effort calling on many people to make it memorable. The June 25 celebration will include special guests, including some of the Station founders, dignitaries, entertainment and refreshments. An open house begins at 10 a.m. when the community will be invited to review Station archives including photos, Creemore Echo articles and board minutes, to learn all about the Station’s history. The Station on the Green was an ambitious community undertaking involving many dedicated volunteers. It was a proposed as a millennium project with the intention of creating a community centre, a replica of the original train station in the old railway yard, that would pay homage to Creemore’s rail history. The railway played an important role in the village’s growth. The train was nicknamed the Hog Special for its smelly four-legged passengers, and the Virginia Creeper for its pace. The railway was built by the Hamilton and Northwest Railway from 1978-1879, and the train station was built by The Grand Trunk Railway in 1906. Trains travelled the 40-mile route between Beeton and Collingwood stopping at 12 stations, with Creemore and Alliston being the main centres. The train went through twice a day, except Sundays, and carried mail, freight and passengers. A decline in shipping volumes and passengers was already a problem when trucking became the preferred method of shipping. The station was destroyed by fire the spring after it was closed in 1955. Decades later a group of community members set to work raising funds and planning for a replica of the train station to rise from the ashes in its original location. It all started when the council of the day had plans to put the rail yard property up for sale. John Smart, who was the president of the Creemore BIA at the time, said he got to thinking about how Creemore needed a tourism centre with public washrooms, a place to house some memorabilia and a facility for community groups and events. With fellow BIA member Paul Vorstermans, Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society president Gord Bird, and architect Michael Clifford, Smart went to council with a mission to talk members out of selling the property and convince them it was a good idea to build what would be known as Station on the Green.

In the beginning, said Smart, the group had grandiose plans for a larger facility with a stage theatre but they were already facing a big budget so they scaled it back. “We realized we were out in left field,” said Smart. “The amount of money would have been astronomical so we stuck pretty closed to what the railway station was… And I’m glad we did because we were trying to do too much and we would have probably fallen on our faces if we had tried to raise that kind of money, and the amount of money that was raised was incredible.” The idea was that it would be self sustaining and would be built with community funds. The group polled community groups, sports organizations, and any potential user groups to get their support, because they knew the project would require buy-in from the whole community.

“We wanted something that would really excite people to have functions there,” said Smart. They imagined a place for wedding receptions, yoga classes and Scout meetings. Smart remembers going to dinner at the home of Pauline and Al Orr when Al unexpectedly offered to kickstart the fundraising, and ran with it. Afterwards many others picked up that mantle and contributed in numerous ways from fundraising to the day-today operations of the facility. Smart said most of the money came from locals, weekenders, corporations and in-kind donations from local businesses. Some of the founders will be in attendance at the anniversary celebration, with an official ceremony at noon. Fran Webster will be playing original music, Tim Armour will play the bagpipes, and the whole town will know it is time to head to the Station when they hear Bob Ransier blow his train whistle at 11:30 a.m. Coffee, cake and refreshments will be served afterwards, with the celebration wrapping up at 2 p.m.

Funds need to support Ukrainian families by Trina Berlo A Dunedin woman has tapped into her friend network to collect donations that will help Ukrainian families arriving in the region. Robin Vaille became aware of the local effort and took it on as a personal service project to seek out specific supplies needed for Ukrainians coming to Canada. She said the story of how the families found their way to neighbouring Grey County is truly inspirational, and Vaille wanted to do what she could to support Susanne von Toerne, who she considers to be a true hero. Von Toerne, and husband Heiner Philipp, have personally committed their time and financial resources to getting three families to safety. In March, von Toerne flew to her home country of Germany after receiving a call from a friend to help extract a family from an area of Ukraine that had been hit hard by Russian attacks. Once she got there, she and three other women took rented vans and drove to meet them in a remote area near the Poland-Ukraine border. They took as many people as they could across the border into Germany, and then decided to go back to a refugee centre in Poland for more. Of the 35 Ukrainians that she has been supporting, eight have arrived in Canada. (They came via Istanbul, where the waiting list was shorter.)

Robin Vaille considers herself a worker bee supporting Susanne von Toerne in her efforts to bring Ukrainian families to Canada. The family that they picked up at the border is still in Germany, waiting for their work visas to be processed. She is expecting Alina Sirenko and her family next week, or the week after. “You never know,” she said. “It’s unpredictable.” Another young couple went to a host family in Flesherton and has since been temporally housed in Collingwood. A third family arrived a little more

than two weeks ago and went to a host family in Southgate, but will be moving to a house in Beaver Valley this weekend. The Sirenko family will be set up in a rental home in Owen Sound, because there are so few options for housing in the rural area. These families have been supported by von Toerne, who has paid for airfare, accommodation, and organized donations to clothe and house them, and assisting them in finding work. She said there are a lot of obstacles to independence in the rural area when it comes to transportation and childcare. Von Toerne said she has learned a

lot since starting this process in March and believes if there isn’t a supply of housing, the area cannot support those fleeing Ukraine, especially when they can’t drive immediately and affordable used cars are hard to come by. In terms of financial support she has also set up one man with $6,000 worth of tools so he can resume work as a mechanic, there are also some dental costs, and a vet check for one child’s dog. Von Toerne is also supporting the families by providing childcare, and finding the children places at summer camps, where they can interact with other children and begin to learn English. To receive financial donations, they have also aligned themselves with Grey County Cares, though the Markdale Rotary Club, which is in the process of setting up an account, and donations are coming in there. Donations can be sent by mail to Lynn Silverton, RR 1 Flesherton, NOC 1EO. Make cheques payable to the Rotary Club of Markdale, and note that it is for Grey County Cares. Von Toerne said she has been very grateful for the generous donations but said she does not need anymore clothing of housewares. She is in need of Foodland gift cards and money. To get in touch with Susanne von Toerne, email sanne.vt@hotmail.de. A Go Fund Me Page has been set up, search “Help the Sirenko family settle in Flesherton” at www.gofundme. com. Vaille urges others to give where they can. “The need will be huge when it comes,” she said.

Hobby becomes a home business for furniture painter by Trina Berlo Tagon Prentice has found her happy place and a hidden talent, in her garage with a paint brush in one hand, and an old piece of furniture on the work bench, its inner beauty waiting to be revealed. Through a series of professional changes, Prentice discovered she had a talent for refurbishing furniture that had seen better days or was outdated in style. With mineral paint, and other tools of the trade, she breathes new life into wooden furniture, taking it from a castoff to someone’s cherished centrepiece. Prentice was born and raised in Creemore but lived for almost a decade in Belgium with her partner Pedro Everaerts and son Niall. Prentice moved home to Creemore with her family in 2017. She finds her home based business is ideal because of the flexible hours allowing her to work mostly during school hours, and in the evenings. She also discovered that she had a knack for it, and loved the creativity of it. Prentice said she always liked old

furniture and would improve the odd piece for the home but recently she committed to the craft, launching her business Tay’s Home. It started with one hutch that she had painted royal blue with a white interior. She posted it online and was thrilled when it sold. Now she has a number of ready-tosell furnishings, including wooden tray sets and accessories, and does custom work. Prentice sources pieces at auction and has also had pieces donated. She said she does a lot of projects in neutral colours, white and black, but she does like to work with bold, fun colours. She can also colour match to a client’s existing decor or aesthetic, and can do minor upholstery work. Being handy, Everaerts helps with pieces that need repairs, and also builds Muskoka chairs, and then Prentice paints them. “The fun is the painting,” said Prentice. “I love getting up in the morning and coming out here. I feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day.” She said she really looks forward to her days in the workshop, where the time flies. Tay’s Home offers free quotes
