Songs, stories and sips at Summer Solstice by Trina Berlo After a long hiatus, the Creemore business community is hosting two events to bring the community back together and welcome visitors. Creemore BIA is having a Summer Solstice celebration on Friday, June 24 and an Autumn Equinox on Saturday, Sept. 17. This month’s event will celebrate the start of summer and draws inspiration from the Solstice with its imagery of fire, flowers, agriculture and the changing seasons, incorporating those elements in the themes and décor. Event co-chair and BIA president Laurie Severn said the BIA had planned to resume Creemore Nights but was unsuccessful in its application for the funding necessary to bring in the entertainment. “We’re hoping that perhaps in 2023 we’ll be able to secure funding and we can bring Creemore Nights back,” said Severn. In the same spirit of the popular Friday night community street parties,

Emily Ekelund, Esther Wade and Chance Kellner make up Mourning Doves, part of the entertainment line-up at the Summer Solstice event presented by Creemore BIA. the BIA has put together these two events. Severn said organizers are trying something a little different by having seating circles around small fires at different spots on the street,
where there will be entertainment in the form of song and storytelling. Guests include Adam Webster with his parents Fran and Annalee (See “Entertainers” on page 6)
Bronée runs for deputy mayor by Trina Berlo Former New Lowell council member Deborah Bronée has filed to run for deputy mayor in Clearview Township in the fall municipal election. Bronée told The Echo that as of June 30 she will have officially retired from her job at the County of Simcoe allowing her to take on the role, which includes a seat on county council if she is successful in the election. She says she has been active in the community since losing the election for her ward seat to John Lamers, who said he will not seek re-election. He told The Echo he has enjoyed his term on council and working with residents but he is retiring and has plans to move up north. Deputy Mayor Barry Burton has also indicated he would not seek re-election.
Bronée served on council from 2010-2018 as representative for the New Lowell ward, where she has lived most of her life. She is a long-time volunteer with Sunnidale Winterama, the Cybergnomes, and is a longtime member and current chair of Clearview’s Accessibility Advisory Committee. “I still think I have more to offer to the community and I wanted to take a broader approach on council and I think as deputy mayor that’s the place to be,” said Bronée. Having worked in social services, Bronée said she has an interest in seeing how some of the county housing projects will come together. “As a councillor I can see how much is driven by the developers… We’re driving young people out who have
Deborah Bronée lived here all their lives because they can’t find any place to live. It’s really hard,” she said. “You need a mix in (See “Nominations” on page 5)

Mill Street commercial building zoning approved by Trina Berlo Clearview council approved a zoning bylaw amendment for 143-145 Mill St. at its June 13 meeting, advancing a proposal by Mannington Investments to replace two buildings on Creemore’s main street with one two-storey building. The plan is to replace the commercial units with one building that will have four commercial units on the main floor, and four apartments on the second floor. The amendment is required to address a lack of parking. Planner Rossalyn Workman said the owners propose 10 parking spaces on site, which will more than accommodate the residential units proposed, but leaves a deficiency of nine parking spaces for the commercial component of the project. As a solution, the owners will pay cash-ln-lieu of parking spaces. The proposed location for the additional parking spaces is on township-owned property located at 15 Elizabeth Street West, at the back of the Creemore Medical Centre. The owners will be contributing $18,000 towards the improvement of the parking area there, which is expected to have 20 spaces total. At a public meeting held in August, several public comments were received. Workman reported that township staff has been working with the architect, planners, engineers and the public to address the comments. The building was originally proposed to be built at an angle to the sidewalk to create café style seating but has since been reconfigured to be parallel to the sidewalk, although there will be a bit more space to meet hydro pole setback requirements.

OPINION COMMUNITY
Hike & Bike for Hospice Georgian Triangle raises more than $176,000 The community oiled their bike chains and pulled on their hiking shoes on Sunday, May 29 in support of Hospice Georgian Triangle. After two years, the Hike and Bike was held in person beginning at the Collingwood Curling Club and raised a recordbreaking $176,000. Participants had the option of hiking or biking 6km or biking 20km through the Collingwood trail system and the shores of Georgian Bay. There were more than 350 participants and 110 volunteers. “This year’s Hike and Bike was an incredible example of the generosity of our community,’’ said Dr. Michael Shape, Hospice Georgian Triangle Board Chair and event committee Chair. “We are very grateful to the many supporters of hospice palliative care.” The top fundraising team was Margot’s Motavators led by Margot Brandreth. Her team of family and friends had more than 100 members, raised $39,657 and received a prize from Squire John’s. The top individual fundraiser was Ian Hawkins who took home a new bike from Kamikaze. At the finish line was music and entertainment provided by 95.1 The PeakFM and a kid’s fun zone provided by Built by Barron. All participants received a T-shirt sponsored by Darren Neil and Sons, a race pack and lunch. The complimentary lunch for participants was generously provided by Blue Ridge Meats, COBS Bread, Boston Pizza, Sanfilippo’s Wholesale Fruits and Vegetables, Sobeys and Tim Hortons. Special thanks to platinum sponsor Blue Mountain and gold sponsors Comfort Keepers, Huronia Alarm & Fire Security Inc., Royal LePage Locations North and Walker Aggregate. Silver sponsors include Collingwood Toyota, Collingwood Nissan, Fawcett Funeral Homes, Todd Christensen of RBC Dominion Securities Wealth Management and Carruthers and Davidson Funeral Homes Limited. Hospice Georgian Triangle serves the towns of Clearview, Collingwood, The Blue Mountains, and Wasaga Beach. Next year’s event will be held on Sunday, May 28. Hospice Georgian Triangle provides compassionate care in the home and at Campbell House for individuals and families dealing with life-limiting illness living in the communities of Collingwood, Clearview Township, The Town of Blue Mountains, and Wasaga Beach. These programs and services come at no cost to the user. Hospice Georgian Triangle Foundation needs donations from the southern Georgian Bay community to fund more than 50 per cent of hospice palliative care and to provide the level of programming, especially grief and bereavement counselling, child support groups and pain and symptom management programs.

Nominations coming in for fall municipal election (Continued from page 1) order for a community to be healthy.” Bronée is grateful that her two sons have been able to live and work locally and that her grandchildren attend the local public school. With regards to the municipality, Bronée said she is interested in land use, creating a mix of housing, is in favour of preserving infrastructure and is concerned by talk of closing roads and not replacing bridges. She also sees that the ATV issue keeps coming up. “If we’re not an inviting community then our businesses won’t be viable,” she said, adding that 14,000 people can’t support the businesses alone. She said her overall focus is on creating a healthy balanced community that has a mix of engaged citizens who give back by volunteering, saying volunteerism has made Clearview what it is today. “There are good things that happen in our community but it’s because of a strong volunteer base,” said Bronée. “I am part of the community.

Hospital to maintain masking requirements
Collingwood General and Marine Hospital (CGMH) will continue to require anyone entering the hospital to wear a mask inside the building, after the Ontario masking mandate lifts on June 11. CGMH will continue with universal masking throughout the hospital for all employees, physicians, midwives, students/residents, outpatients, on-site partners and contractors, visiting contractors that enter the hospital, along with all designated essential visitors (which remain at two essential caregivers, for certain patient populations under Phase 3 of the hospital’s Designated Visitor policy). “Hospitals have an obligation to continue to protect its most vulnerable patients, along with its employees and physicians who care for our patients. Keeping our core services operational is vital for our community and we will continue with these enhanced measures for the foreseeable future,” said Mike Lacroix, CGMH Interim President and CEO. Additionally, at this time, proof of vaccination remains in place for all designated essential visitors and external vendors arriving at the hospital and current screening processes remain in place. This is subject to change following the release and review of Ministry of Health guidance documents.
Entertainers to perform fireside
(Continued from page 1) Webster, all locals from Websterville, who will play fireside favourites and original songs. Webster, a direct descendant of the founder of the village, has taught guitar lessons and started a band called the Funky Truth which still plays in the area. This affable local is willing to take a request, have a chat and provides that magical summer camp feel. Emily Ekelund, Chance Kellner, and Esther Wade make up the Mourning Doves trio, weaving their diverse musical histories to form a warm blend of close harmonies, both a cappella and with instruments. With tunes assembled from the Engli s h fo l k -rev i v al , s o u t h ern American gospel, country, and New England hymnary traditions, the group honours the ties that bind with inviting and beguiling trio energy. Chris Walser is Anishnaabe from Beausoleil First Nation on Christian Island. A crafter, storyteller and youth worker, Walner and his wife Melissa go into communities and organizations to pass on what they have learned throughout their lives. Members of the Juno-nominated Indigenous rock band No Reservations, Shawn Corbiere and Jen Brunelle, will also be performing. Maniwaki Quebec’s Brunelle plays percussion and does vocals. Corbiere, who sings and plays
Adam Webster lead guitar, is a self-taught musician who uses his cultural background to inspire his music. He will also be doing some flintknapping around the fire, a process of sharpening stone for arrowheads. Plan on bringing the entire family as lots of children’s activities are planned including: making floral crowns with the Creemore Horticultural Society, and a fairy land craft zone created by darci-que. The street will be closed to vehicles and picnic tables will be set up where people are welcome to enjoy a picnic or food from local restaurants. Organizers are working towards reducing waste at local events so people are encouraged to bring their own washable dishes and cutlery.
The street will be licensed and the BIA will host a cash bar serving local beer, wine, cider, cocktails and mead. All bar proceeds will go to support BIA events. Businesses will be encouraged to spill out onto the street with special offers, sidewalk sales, barbecues and street food. “All the businesses are encouraged to come out join the fun be part of the street because we really want to show people that the businesses are super involved and that they’re there for people to shop local,” said Severn. “The BIA is delighted to see an end to pandemic measures and welcome everyone back to our community. Our community has been so supportive in shopping and dining local over the past two years, that this is a great way to thank them,” said Severn. “For new visitors to Creemore, we invite you to check out our one-of-a-kind shops and enjoy a meal or a drink on a patio. We can’t wait to see you downtown!” Summer Solstice takes place on Mill St. and Caroline St. from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. The Autumn Equinox will include a Mill Street hoedown.

Clearview Mayor Doug Measures accepts a $5,000 cheque from Georgian Communities manager of development Jay Beech on behalf of Clearview Public Library. Georgian Communities is the latest developer to contribute to the Stayner Library Building Project. The company has purchased the Nottawa development property formerly known as Clearview Developments owned by Gian Del Zotto.
Developers donate to library by Trina Berlo Local developers have contributed $45,000 in donations toward the Stayner Library Building Project. An initial donation of $10,000 from Sunrise Homes developers in 2021 was a surprise but has inspired others to give. Developers have been working together to secure water supply for projects, particularly in Stayner.
Mayor Doug Measures said as a result they have been coming together for several meetings where he brought greetings. “I reminded them all that we are building a community together and that there are lots of projects underway in the township outside of this water project and working together means we have to support all the services (See “Developer” on page 8)

Developer library donations total $45,000 (Continued from page 7) in our community,” said Measures. “I reminded them that at that time the library would be opening and we would be really happy if they wanted to help the volunteer fundraising committee reach their goal.” Since then, MacPherson Builders
(Stayner) Limited (Nottawasaga Station) has donated $5,000, Cortel Services Ltd. has donated $12,500 (Ashton Meadows), Mrs. Larysa Di Giovanni (Ashton Meadows) has donated $12,500, and most recently Nottawa Limited Partnership (Georgian Communities) has donated
$5,000. The municipality has already invested in a well head on Klondike Park Road and Stayner developers are working together to fund a pipe that will bring water capacity to Stayner to allow development of several projects to proceed.
“A water pipe is a non competition issue. They all need it and they all have to pay for it,” said Measures. The donations bring the fundraising committee closer to its $250,000 target. The library is still accepting donations from both individuals and companies for this project.

Simply by Sher: Good taste, good for people and pets by Trina Berlo Sher Arnfinson is expanding her home baking line, Simply by Sher, growing from the Creemore Farmers’ Market to a home-based delivery service. Drawing on her knowledge as a healer, Arnfinson said she takes great care to produce the highest quality baked goods, using the finest locally sourced ingredients. The Mulmur-based baker is at the Creemore Farmers’ Market for a second year, where she sells her specialities – cakes, cookies, loaves, energy bars and dog cookies. After 25 years as a shiatsu therapist, Arfinson enrolled in Bake and Pastry Arts at Georgian College in 2020. Because her son had food allergies, Arnfinson said she has always baked with a healthy focus. She also found that many of her shiatsu clients struggled with chronic conditions and symptoms. “I wanted to bake things that could help them be healthy and weren’t overloaded with white sugar and GMO flour,” said Arnfinson. The reason she uses locally sourced ingredients is to ensure synthetic pesticides and fertilizers are not used, and so she can trace their origins. She opts for organic locally sourced flour, all-natural ingredients and no salt – although she boosts the flavour with her signature ingredients, replacing the salt naturally. She says naturally occurring sodium is found in fresh

Sher Arnfinson at work in her kitchen. fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds and is necessary for optimum health, while table salt, sea salt and Pink Himalayan Salt contains Sodium Chloride, which is toxic to the body. “I feel it’s important for people to understand why I bake this way and I’d like them to learn to trust the
ingredients I put it,” said Arnfinson. She specializes in carrot, zucchini and banana loaf, fruit cakes, chocolate cake, apple and pineapple upside down cake, and oatmeal cookies. Her chocolate energy bars contain chocolate, honey, almonds, oats, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Her dog cookies are made with her homemade bone broth, ground beef oats/barley, eggs, lentils, kale, calcium and Diatomaceous Earth as a digestive aid, which is all very good for dogs with food sensitivities and allergies. Arnfinson said the bone broth takes a whole day to make using bone marrow and chicken feet. “It is just loaded, and a good treat for all dogs,” said Arnfinson. She said the dog cookies are very popular at the market, especially when she offers free samples. Arnfinson will be distributing her creations via a type of subscription program where people can sign up for a regular box containing baked goods made with seasonal ingredients. For example, a box could contain a loaf, a bread and cookies, which would change each week or month, depending on the schedule. Arfinson also makes her own health and wellness products.

Cardinals walk off with championship
The 11U Creemore Cardinals were in Midland this past weekend for their first tournament of the season. Creemore was in a pool with the Barrie Baycats, Sault Ste. Marie Black Sox and the Komoka River Cats. Under the lights on Friday the Cardinals started off pool play with a 15-0 win over the Baycats and followed that up with a 14-0 win over the Black Sox on Saturday. The team secured a spot in the semi-final when they beat the River Cats later that day 16-5. In the semi-final on Sunday the team started out the day by defeating The Muskoka Hornets 16-0. However, the championship would be a much closer contest than any of the first four games of the tournament. This was a rematch
with Sault Ste. Marie and Creemore found themselves trailing midway through the third inning 5-1, but would tie it up in the fifth 5-5. The Black Sox scored two in the top of the seventh to go ahead 7-5, but the Cardinals again tied it in the bottom on a single by Evan Wells that scored Cooper Duits, sending the game into extra innings. In the top of the eighth Sault St. Marie scored once and had the bases loaded with only one out before Keenan Reynolds struck out the last two hitters.
