Escarpment Corridor Alliance endorses PC candidate

Comedy writer joins sketch show comeback by Trina Berlo The Kids in the Hall are back with a new season of their ground-breaking sketch series starring Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson. Duntroon resident Garry Campbell is executive producer and head writer on the show which picks right up from the CBC series that ran from 1989-1995. The intro shows the troupe getting resurrected after a used VHS copy of their 1996 feature film Brain Candy is sold at a yard sale, finally breaking even and simultaneously breaking a curse. This time around, the show was picked up by Amazon. It has the same feel as the original but with a few more swearwords and some full frontal nudity. “The reviews have been amazing. It’s almost bizarre how much people
have received it exactly the way you hoped they would which never happens, so it’s awesome.” Campbell said there was never an intention to reinvent the show. The goal was to make it feel like a sixth season. Fans of the show will remember the iconic theme song by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, The Chicken Lady, the headcrusher, Gavin and Buddy Cole. “Honestly, The Kids In the Hall is the same thing it was then, just older and – theoretically – more mature,” he said. Campbell had been with The Kids in the Hall since early days, working with McCullough, McKinney and a bunch of others in Calgary straight out of high school, then with Foley and McDonald in Toronto, before Thompson joined a little later. Campbell appeared in some of the show’s early sketches and then returned as a writer for the third season.
Campbell initially got the call from Bruce McCulloch that the Kids in the Hall were back, and said he was happy to help out. He said with a laugh, it took him way too long to realize that he was showrunner. At one point he asked himself, “Am I in charge?” Yes, he was. The showrunner is in charge of the creative side, overseeing every sketch and making sure it all works. Campbell said he thinks of The Kids in the Hall as five flavours and it was his job to make sure that all the flavours were represented in every episode. The shoot wrapped last summer and Campbell continued working on post production into the fall. “This was a labour of love for me. I started my television career with these (See “Critics” on page 9)
Escarpment Corridor Alliance has endorsed Simcoe-Grey candidate Brian Saunderson, noting he is the only PC candidate on their list. Saunderson received an overall A-, the highest ranking issued by the ECA, with the group noting his personal commitment to protecting the escarpment, wetlands, and headwaters in our riding, and getting his support of ECA’s mission on the record. The Alliance is pleased with Saunderson’s position on development, preferring densification to deforestation as discussed in a video posted to the Escarpment Corridor Alliance Facbook page. “We are grateful to each candidate for offering new ideas for their ridings and discussing their visions with ECA members,” said George Knowles, an ECA director. “We are especially supportive of Brian Saunderson’s personal commitment to the environment and sustainability along the Escarpment.” He said Saunderson demonstrated a strong environmental record while on municipal council, and the ECA hopes to work with him to achieve its goals for the region. The Escarpment Corridor Alliance is an advocacy group that launched in March with the goal of protecting key outdoor destinations along the escarpment from development, specifically Talisman and Castle Glen.

New Healthy Cravings burger bus open at Randwick by Trina Berlo A burger bus has returned to the corner of Airport Road and County Road 21 in Mulmur, filling a void for anyone missing Foxy’s. Healthy Cravings Burger Bus is a fresh take on the roadside food truck. It is a partnership between holistic nutritionist and chef Brenda Beattie and property owner Albert Luce. Until last year, Beattie operated the Healthy Cravings café in Shelburne but her business was hit hard by the pandemic. She said at the beginning of lockdown 80 per cent of her clientele was stuck in the city and once things opened up again, it was a very slow start. She knew she had to make a change and made the difficult decision to close the restaurant. During the pandemic, Beattie and Luce took long drives in the country and discovered the Randwick schoolhouse was for sale. It was the former location of Foxy’s Burger Bus, a yellow school bus which had served roadside food, but had been gone for several years. Luce purchased the property and once he moved in July, he kept hearing about how popular Foxy’s was and how much it was missed by locals and passersby. That inspired Luce and Beattie to start looking for an old bus that could be transformed into a food truck and landed on a 1954 GMC school bus,

Holistic nutritionist and chef Brenda Beattie and Albert Luce have opened the Heathy Cravings Burger Bus in Mulmur, at the corner of Airport Road and County Road 21. which was completely refurbished and fitted with a custom kitchen. For the finishing touch, Beattie had it painted in Tiffany blue. As for the menu, Beattie’s goal is to keep the back-to-basics burger bus allnatural and as local as possible. Her philosophy is to “heal thy cravings through food” believing that if people deprive themselves of a particular food they will crave it
all the more. So instead of depriving themselves of certain foods, her mission is to make it available at the highest quality. She makes everything from scratch, slow roasting pulled pork over night after it has been rubbed with cinnamon and cumin, then using the juice to make a barbecue sauce. The gravy is made from bones simmered for hours to get out all the goodness that highly
digestible. “It’s all good for the body,” said Beattie, but it all takes time. “It’s how our grandparents ate before processed food became popular.” In addition to burgers, there are vegetarian and vegan options including a falafel burger, Buddha Bowl and salads. The fries and potato salad are made from Melancthon potatoes, the meat is from Stayner, and the bread is baked in Collingwood. She also makes all her own sauces, and mayonnaise from local eggs. Beattie said she tries to source everything from local familyoperated businesses whenever possible, and all of the menu items are $11 or less. The Healthy Cravings Burger Bus held its grand opening this past weekend and Beattie said the reception has been overwhelmingly positive. “We have been received with open arms,” said Beattie. Luce describes people sitting at picnic tables, standing at raised barrel tables, stretched out on picnic blankets and sitting around the bonfire, all enjoying their meals, whether they have come from close by or are making a pit stop during a long drive. Healthy Cravings Burger Bus is located at 708235 County Road 21 and is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Find it on Instagram and Facebook and watch for updated summer hours.

Ditch beer cans are puzzlingly prevalent in area Editor: Your paper is a great vehicle for hearing from two or more sides of an issue. Knowing that there is more than one side can start the dialogue needed to resolve differences. In that vein, I thought I would invite folks who store their empty beer cans in the ditches around Creemore to explain the reasons for doing it. It is so prevalent that there must be several of your readers who participate in the practice. Given that at least some of your neighbours do not understand the wisdom in it, it would be good information to share. I look forward to building my understanding. Peter Halsall, Creemore.

NDACT continues to work toward Strada agreement Editor: Over the last several weeks, NDACT has been working diligently with Strada towards developing a Community Agreement. I can report that we have an Agreement in Principle in place (the foundation piece to the Community Agreement) which can be signed by all parties when the three key schedules to the Agreement in Principle are finalized. The status of the schedules are as follows: The Water and Natural Features Protocol has been received by Strada, and we await final feedback; the same can be said for the Communications Protocol. We have finalized the Community Recreation Fund Protocol to be reviewed by the NDACT Board before we send it on to Strada.
In all our discussions, Strada has generally responded favourably to our approach. We will continue to work together on reaching a consensus on the Schedules over the next couple of weeks. Once we have signatures on the Agreement in Principle, we will publish it on our website for your review. At that time, we plan on hosting an open house with Strada to answer questions on the agreement (format and timing of the open house to be finalized). Our hope is that we will continue to work with Kevin Powers from Campbell Strategies and the Strada Management Team to finalize all this before haying season! Carl Cosack, Community Liaison, NDACT

Writer thanks Water First for being a beacon of light Editor: I would like to thank The Echo for sharing the bright news of how Water First is being embraced by so many people. Funds pouring in from many sources! You have run a couple stories
over the past months, thank you. As a monthly donor to Water First and someone who holds white privilege (who is doing my best to unlearn the insidiousness of racism/colonization), I love reading The Echo’s ‘take’ on
what is happening with this incredible local initiative. Thank you, John Millar and the team at Water First for being a beacon of light for so many of us. Your work is deeply respected and appreciated.

The meat and baked goods are frozen and distributed to those in need. May said she has also received a separate donation of fresh vegetables, which has also been distributed. It is all part of a community effort to see less food wasted, especially when there are people who need it. Any individuals or businesses with food to offer, including garden produce, or anyone in need of food is encourage to call Lorna May at 705-352-2759 or leave a message at the church, 705-466-2206.

Each year, during National Access Awareness Week, Canadians are encouraged to think about the barriers people with disabilities face and to find ways to help remove them. 2022 marks the seventeenth anniversary of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA). During this time, public, private, and nonprofit organizations across Ontario have been working together to improve the everyday lives of people with disabilities.
History of National Accessibility Awareness Week: •
•
Ontario became the first jurisdiction in Canada to legislate a framework and timeline for making Ontario accessible. The goal of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) is to make Ontario fully accessible by 2025. National Access Awareness Week was established in 1987 following Rick Hanson’s 40,000 km Man in Motion World Tour. “As part of the legacy of the Man in Motion World Tour, the Rick Hansen Foundation provided strategic leadership to create and implement National Access Awareness Week (NAAW) in partnership with federal and provincial governments across the country. The purpose of the program was to promote better community access for people with disabilities.” - Rick Hansen Foundation.
It is important for us to realize what accessibility means to our province – socially and economically. If people with disabilities cannot fully participate in our communities, we are missing out on our own potential. Accessibility is also about making everyone in our communities feel welcome. The small activities that most of us take for granted – playing in a park, watching a movie, dining in a restaurant – should be equally available for everyone. And don’t forget our seniors. Through the natural aging process, they may begin to experience barriers to everyday living that they once took for granted.
Clearview Township is an inclusive community!
In Clearview Township, National Access Awareness Week is an opportunity to highlight accessibility awareness at the local level and an opportunity to celebrate the work that is being done across the Township to improve accessibility to information, programs, services, parks, arenas, community halls, and businesses.
Celebrating in Clearview!
Some of the accomplished improvements made in Clearview are: • Providing Accessible doors for the Stayner Arena • Providing Accessible doors for the Creemore and District Community Center • Creating Accessible parking spots at the new Stayner Library • Assisting with the Small Halls and Accessibility recommendations for Council consideration • Updating the Facility Accessibility Design Standards • Providing accessibility recommendations for the Village Green project
On-going accomplishments!
Clearview Township may negotiate with parties who have not submitted a proposal in response to this EOI. Clearview Township will not necessarily invite those submitting a proposal to participate in further negotiations. Clearview Township Council approval will be required for any negotiated agreements.
Clearview Township has a successful Accessibility Advisory Committee that meets monthly with open sessions that anyone can attend. The schedule of upcoming meetings as well as previous agenda and meeting minutes can be viewed on our web site.
We thank all who submit a proposal and advise that only those selected for further consideration will be contacted. Terry Vachon, General Manager, Parks, Culture & Recreation The Corporation of Township of Clearview, 269 Regina Street, Stayner, Ontario L0M 1S0, Tel: (705) 428-5013 EXT.21
If any member of the community has any comments, questions or concerns regarding accessibility matters in Clearview, they are welcome to contact any Accessibility Advisory Committee member or share their comments/ questions/feedback by telephone, in person, in writing or by email.

Critics applaud return of The Kids in the Hall (Continued from page 1)
guys so it’s bizarre to be doing it again – 35 years later. And on top of all that, it feels like gravy, it turned out well and people like it,” he said. The show is getting great ratings. It has 100 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, an 8.5 on IMDB and is streaming at Number 3 in Canada on Amazon Prime. “I don’t think I’ve ever been on a show that was so well reviewed and I know that is meaningful and meaningless, but I’m going to take it as meaningful right now.” The eight-episode 2022 season of The Kids in the Hall launched on May 13. It’s possible that Amazon will commit to a second season of The Kids in the Hall reboot. Campbell said they should know in the next few weeks.

Be the Change Film Series kicks off May 31 The Be the Change Film Series (BTC) has kept the people of Collingwood/ Blue Mountains enthralled for 14 years. The Blue Mountain Watershed Trust, our area’s leading environmental charity, runs the film series as a friendand fund-raising effort. Like last year, showings are outdoors on the Beer Garden lawn at The Collingwood Brewery, 10 Sanford Fleming Drive. Showtimes will change with the sunset; the first movie, To the Orcas, With Love, kicks off this Tuesday, May 31 at 9 p.m. To the Orcas, With Love, is full of stories of personal connections with orcas, beautiful cinematography featuring B.C’s resident orcas, and an evocative soundscape. It’s inspired by elders including environmentalist David Suzuki, whale researchers
Alexandra Morton and Paul Spong, and totem carver Wayne Alfred. It invites us to rise up and create the world we dream for ourselves. Attendees are encouraged to dress for the weather and are asked to bring a chair or a blanket, as picnic tables are limited. The 14th season promises to be a great one, extending from the end of May into October. BTC’s environmentally- and socially-conscious movies are a big hit with many demographics: children, families, couples and retirees. BTC is a family-friendly event, at $12 for adults, $7 for students and children are free. Find this season’s line-up of films (thus far), tickets and show details at bethechangefilmseries. com.

Barb Kemp presents a $5,000 cheque to Tracey Lawko of Glen Huron for the Reflections of Ourselves project.
Kemp award goes to Glen Huron artist Tracey Lawko of Glen Huron is the recipient of the 30th Robert G. Kemp Arts Award. “Reflections of Ourselves” is a textile based collaborative art project that explores the question, “Who are we?” through dual lenses of cultural heritage and material culture as expressed through textile traditions and contemporary techniques. Lawko has chosen a tree as a non political symbol of our human community where differences in human cultures are like leaves on the human tree.
The opening exhibition is at the Orillia Museum of Art and History, running from May 28 to Sept. 3. Plans are for this collection to travel across Canada. The $5,000 cash prize was created in 1989 from a trust fund administered by The Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts with the intent to provide encouragement and recognition to the artistic development of an individual or group residing in the Southern Georgian Bay area. Each applicant submits a project proposal that will provide a benefit to the community.
Singhampton Sculpture Forest has added three new large artworks. The Pride Tree is a new and colourful addition, as is the metallic figure of a life-sized man with a suitcase that speaks to the “baggage” carried by all of us through our lives, and a large mixed media angel is seen emerging from one of our largest ancient trees, taking care to respect the surface bark of this old timer. Visitors are welcome to stroll through the forest while viewing over 2 dozen large original artworks, and many more smaller ones. The Singhampton Sculpture Forest is located at 124 Lakeview Rd.
