Council backtracks on speed limit reduction by Bonnie MacPherson In the latest installment of the ongoing debate about speed limit reductions, Clearview Township council voted this week to overturn an earlier motion which would have reduced the limit on Fairgrounds Road from 80 km/hr to 60 between County Road 9 and County Road 91 and from 33/34 Sideroad to Beachwood Road. Council originally approved the motion on March 7, then reconsidered it at the March 21 meeting in the face of stiff opposition from several local businesses. Township staff was instructed to obtain a legal opinion as to whether council was acting in accordance with relevant policies. Advice obtained from the township’s lawyers was that council did have the authority to change speed limits provided they were acting in good faith. The original March 7 motion was then presented to Council on
June 27 as part of the reconsideration procedure. Ward 5 councillor Thom Paterson supported the motion saying the design constraints that prompted original concerns about road safety have not gone away. Doug McKechnie, councillor for Ward 2 proposed an amendment which would have seen the speed limit on Fairgrounds Road reduced to 70 km/ hr versus 60 but the amendment failed to find a seconder. Deputy Mayor Barry Burton argued that the real problem is not speed limits but driver behaviour and enforcement. He suggested that council ought to consider a half million dollar increase in the policing budget to triple enforcement on township roads. In the end, council approved a watered-down motion directing staff to investigate the cost of increased enforcement and report back to council.
The original March 7 motion was quashed, with councillors Walker, Lamers, Dineen, Broderick and McKechnie, Deputy Mayor Burton and Mayor Doug Measures all voting to overturn. Another motion, approved at the March 7 meeting which would have reduced speeds on a section of Riverside Drive and two sections of Concession 6 was also before council for reconsideration. An amendment proposed by councillor McKechnie removed references to Riverside Drive from County Road 9 to the 15/16 Sideroad and Concession 6 from the end of the 50 km/hr zone to the Poplar Sideroad so that the stretch of Concession 6 from County Rd 91 north for 1.1 kilometres could be considered separately. McKechnie felt a reduction from 80 km / hr to 60 in this area with several homes, the Sixth Line Church (See “Concession” on page 5)
by Trina Berlo The possibilities are endless, says Ivy Leishman-Martin of the Village Green, where she will officially step into her role as manager on July 4. The Creemore Community Foundation committed to staffing the park as a result of a 2019 community consultation process and a management committee was established to do the hiring of a full-time manager who will oversee programming and operations at the park, with the help of two summer students, and a maintenance person. The job is to activate the park year-round with activities through partnerships with existing organizations, supporting volunteers, and creating signature events. Once she starts in her new role, Leishman-Martin will be on site as much as possible, sometimes working out of Station on the Green. Construction of the Village Green is in its final stages now as officials prepare for a grand opening event on August 20-21, when the hoarding will come down and visitors will be invited to join in a weekend of activities. The park is equipped with a stage, a splash pad, ping pong table and grassy area that will double as a skating rink in the winter. “People need people and this is a place to be together with community, neighbours and friends,” said LeishmanMartin. Leishman-Martin grew up at Sunnidale Corners and has worked with her parents at Leishman Pottery for 23 years but as her parents prepare for retirement, the job posting for the park manager job caught her eye. Leishman-Martin said her job as a potter is creative, but she also loved the customer service and the community connection. Although she had initially intended to take a little time to figure out what she wanted to do next, she (See “Village” on page 3)

Village Green grand opening August 20-21 (Continued from page 1) was inspired to apply for the job because of the potential to become deeply connected to another part of the community, and set down roots as a way of staying anchored. “Having this position is the most important decision I have ever made,” she said. “It allows me to maintain a connection to the community I grew up in.” Leishman-Martin said she has felt very supported by her family, friends and community and hopes to foster that sense of generational connection for the next generation of community members so that they can then become caring members of society. In her other job, although volunteer, Leishman-Martin is the president of the Collingwood Girls Hockey Association, which encompasses players from a large area, including Clearview and Mulmur. It is there that she has learned how to take a collective idea and bring it under one umbrella and make it a reality for everyone, she said. “I know what it’s like to be a volunteer 24/7,” said Leishman, adding that she knows an essential part of her role will be to alleviate some of the pressure on volunteers who have been working to enhance the community, and support businesses. Plans are already in the works for weekly Saturday afternoon family focussed entertainment that dovetails with the Creemore Farmers’ Market, a beer garden as part of the Copper Kettle

We want to give a big thank you to everyone who has supported The Echo during this year’s subscription drive. We have received many words of encouragement and expressions of gratitude for keeping this little newspaper going and that means a lot to us. We do hope that in addition to becoming a subscriber, booster, champion or patron that people will continue to engage by letting us know what is happening in the community and sharing their opinions through letters to the editor. It was really fun to be back at the Creemore Farmers’ Market this year to meet readers, hear feedback and chat about the importance of community newspapers in these uncertain times. But it is the support of the community that keeps the paper going and we are all better for having a source of local news and information. Thank you to everyone who gave and to those who gave a little extra, whether they are a booster, champion or patron. We are honoured to be a source for local news and information and a place to share views. There are so many ways that people support this little rag on and off the pages and we are sincerely grateful to you all. The contributions continue to come in and we are so grateful. We received support from the following community members this week: PATRONS Norm and Ginny MacEachern Gord and Patty Cunnigham Elaine, Svend and Karen Albrektsen Peter Walker Lynn Eakins and David Young CHAMPIONS Simon Heath and Erica Thompson James Simpson Lawrence Bill and Jacqueline Raison Hilarie Woods John and Susan Lewarne BOOSTERS Bob and Cathie Hyland Eileen Martin Tom and Laura Macham Steve and Irene Thomas It is never too late to be part of our cherished group of donors.

Creemore walkers beware Editor: At 9 a.m. last Saturday morning I parked my car on Caroline Street intending to attend the market. I realized I would need cash so began walking to the TD Bank machine via Caroline Street to Mill Street when BANG, I slipped, then fell dangerously forward as a result of a hidden area of sunken bricks (filled in with sand) in the middle of the walk way. Jen, our wonderful pharmacist, saw my situation out the window of the drug store and ran to my assistance. As you can imagine I was badly shaken up! Apparently victims falling in this location happen too often… all year as well, as ice patches get hidden there!

Seeing me around town you will notice the bloody scabs and bruises on my mouth and nose. My arms and wrists are the same. My glasses were crooked so when having them adjusted, I was told there was a fine crack in the nosepiece. I was fortunate not to have any broken bones. Many residents have told me this has happened too often with incidents like mine reported to the township but no attempt has been made to fix the situation! Help Councillor Thom Paterson, and Mayor Doug Measures! Gail Caswell, Glencairn.
BIA knows how to throw a party Editor: We want to congratulate the many volunteers who put together the fabulous Summer Solstice party on Friday night. The street decorating and signage was both beautiful and functional, the variety of booths, music and activities were appealing to attendees of all ages, and the choice of exceptional food and drink available from our local businesses satisfied our appetites. We want to make special mention of the wonderful floral centrepieces that were created by the Creemore Horticultural Society that decorated the picnic tables throughout the event. The Creemore BIA certainly knows how to throw a very safe and entertaining party. For those people who missed it, we would strongly suggest that you should

Clearview to strike climate action committee by Trina Berlo Clearview council has voted in favour of taking multiple steps to address climate action, including appointing a Climate Action Committee. In April, councillor Doug McKechnie was encouraged by residents of his ward to table a motion calling for the development of a Climate Action Plan, and for the township to look at all operations through a climate action lens. In a six-part June 13 motion, council directed CAO John Ferguson to bring back a plan. A first step in the process will be to consult with the community at large, service clubs, the Creemore BIA, the Clearview Chamber of Commerce, and community hall volunteers. “We have to do some work in the community to get people looking at our community from a similar lens and establishing what they feel will be the gaps in that process and/or the future needs,” he said at the council meeting. “This can lead to a variety of different outcomes and priorities and then we can
5
implement the action afterwards.” Council approved drafting a terms of reference for the Climate Action Committee, directed the CAO to confirm full membership to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and explore engagement opportunities for climate protection and funding. The motion recognizes a climate crisis exists and directs the CAO to continue to implement the most recent best practices that reduce emissions and develop with the community greater economic and social resiliency while recognizing the increased probability of sudden climate events. The motion also initiates a Community Economic Development (CED) process. “The community economic development strategy absolutely identifies natural capital as the key piece of the entire process,” said Ferguson. “Frankly, if you don’t have natural capital you really don’t have anything else so it’s an important ingredient within the five capitals that I am going to suggest is the lens we use.”
Concession 10 speed reduction approved (Continued from page 1) and a daycare was too important to risk losing it by bundling it with the other changes. The amended motion passed easily. When McKechnie then attempted to introduce a motion which would have addressed the speed limit on Riverside Drive it was shut down as a procedural
violation. A notice of reconsideration must be given for the matter to be reviewed at a future meeting. A bylaw reducing the speed limit on Concession 10 Nottawasaga from County Road 124 to County Road 91 and from 30/31 Sideroad to Poplar Sideroad to 60 km/hr was adopted and will come into force immediately.

As of June 27, public participation at Clearview council has moved in-person, meaning written public participation submissions will no longer be accepted through the online portal. Meetings will proceed in the current hybrid format with staff and presenters attending virtually and Council, the CAO and Clerk present in the Council Chambers. Seating for the public in the
Chambers will be set up to allow for physical distancing. Public Participation usually takes place at the beginning of each meeting just after 5:30 p.m. and is limited to 15 minutes, with each person limited to five minutes. The meeting calendar, agendas, highlights, and minutes are posted online at www.clearview.ca.
Resident speaks out on changing tax due dates by Bonnie MacPherson Final tax bills for 2022 were recently mailed to property owners in Clearview Township, prompting a question to Council at their June 27 meeting. Area resident Bob Charlton appeared at council chambers to ask why the final installment of 2022 taxes is due in September. Up until 2020, tax installments were due in March, June, September and November. In 2021, due dates were changed to March, June, August and October. This year’s payments are further compressed with the final installment due in September. Charlton says the frequent changes
make it difficult to budget, and have left many people who pay their taxes along with their mortgages with a shortfall in their tax accrual account. C l e a r v i e w Tr e a s u r e r K e l l y McDonald explained that due dates were realigned to match service providers including the County of Simcoe and Boards of Education. She suggested the township’s preauthorized payment plan as an option. The plan spreads payments out over 10 months with the first five payments based on 50 per cent of last year’s tax bill and the final five payments based on the final tax amount for the current year.

Cardinals win Chatham Diamonds Tournament by Scott Weldon On Friday the Cardinals faced the Orangeville Bengals in the first game of the annual Chatham Diamonds tournament. A four-run first inning got the Cardinals off to a quick start. Two RBI by Hayden Goodfellow-Oster and three hits by Cooper Duits led to a 16-0 win. The second game of the tournament pitted the host Diamonds verse the Cardinals and this game would be much tougher. The Diamonds got out to a 4-0 lead in the fourth inning and the Cardinals battled back but came up short losing 8-3: their first loss of the season. Reece Fuller kept the Cardinals in the game with three excellent relief innings and Drew Hamilton had two hits, a run and his tenth stolen base of the season. The Thorold A’s were up next in a must-win game for Creemore. Thomas Weldon took the mound and threw five shut-out innings giving up only two hits, while Dylan Rayburn continued his outstanding season at the plate with three hits, upping his batting average to .639 and leading the Cardinals to a 10-0 victory and placing the team in the semi-finals. The Tecumseh Rangers were the opponent in the semi-final on Sunday morning. Tecumseh was the first seed in pool A after going 3-0 with wins over the Brantford Red Sox, Newmarket Hawks, and the Chatham Diamonds 10U team. Once again Creemore got some excellent starting pitching, this time from Brayden Foulds. Creemore scored first in the bottom of the second inning when Jack Hutchison drove in the first of four runs. The relentless Creemore offense

9Us host Angus by Matthew Martin This week’s game was an exciting one against the Angus Avengers. Creemore posted their best offensive effort of the season with runs coming from Easton, Noah, Griffin M, Everett, and Adair. Highlight at the plate was a huge at bat for Griffin White who knocked in a big run for Creemore while down to his last strike. Player of the game was Everett for his fearless play at shortstop and perfect record at bat.
was too much for Tecumseh and an 11-2 victory put Creemore into the championship game. The championship game was a rematch with Chatham Diamonds. Evan Wells got the start and provided the team with yet another great starting pitching performance. This time it was the Cardinals who took the lead with one run in the first, one in the second and three in the third to get out to a 5-0 lead. Chatham; however, would answer in the top of the fifth scoring two quick runs and loading the bases with just one out when reliever Keenan Reynolds shut the door with a strikeout and ground ball. Paul Twiss came in to pitch with two outs in the seventh and induced a comebacker to the mound which he threw to first to end the game and win the Cardinals their second tournament of the season.
