Village Green set to open this month by Trina Berlo As finishing touches are being made at Creemore’s new Village Green, planning is well underway for opening weekend on August 20-21. The celebration will include a ribbon cutting, entertainment and activities to welcome visitors as they experience the park for the fist time. This week, the grass is going in, gardens are blooming and the main features have been installed. Although the hoarding is still up, people can already see some of the park’s features that pay homage to the property’s railway heritage. A 16-foot main entrance sign post is modelled after a locomotive light done in 24kt gold leaf by Shane Durnford Studios, the same sign maker who created many of the wooden projecting signs in the village. From the sign post, an interlocking stone walkway follows the path of the original railway, leading to the Station on the Green, a replica of Creemore’s train station. Nine inlaid granite markers that mimic railway ties tell the history of the land, from the ice age on, moving in time through important milestones to the present, beginning with an Indigenous land acknowledgement. A second stone walkway connects to the Cenotaph, library, jail and log cabin. The walkways border lawns, gardens to be managed by the Horticultural Society, and wooden platforms protecting the old trees preserved on the site. The park is anchored by a large covered stage that is designed to look like a train station platform, and will serve as a performance area for many different community groups. The park is equipped with new LED lighting, wifi, and bike racks. In addition to a new splash pad, the fountain has been restored and placed on its new base, and Ernest Herzig’s sculpture entitled Harmony has also been reinstalled. The Village Green, a project of the Creemore Community Foundation,

The Creemore Village Green is set to open later this month. The sign post, designed by Shane Durnford Studios, is one of the park's many features that pay homage to the property's rail history. aims to create a community space, rich in history, that would be a meeting space and a regional landmark. The park’s features are a direct result of a community consultation that asked for input on what should be done with the land, following the closure of the

Creemore branch of the TD Bank and subsequent donation of the land to the Foundation. The project grew in scope and resulted in a complete redesign that would provide a programmable landmark space. (See “Entertainment” on page 10)

Efforts continue to support Ukrainian families immigrating to the area. Creemore resident Jim Slattery will be manning the coffee booth at the Creemore Farmers’ Market this Saturday with funds going to support four families now living in the area. The families also accepted three quilts sewn in Ukraine’s colours yellow and blue from Stayner Stitchers Maxine Coutts Reid, Susan MacLeod, Anne Hanna, Berniece Wyse, Bev Scholte and Felicity Kinnear. The Stayner Stitchers are a 15-member quilting group that responds to community needs, and wanted to make the families feel welcome. Pictured left: Slattery (from left) presented donations to two families at the Station Cafe on Tuesday: Oksana Zaitseva and Ruslan Avad, Natalia Tatarulieva, Oleksandr Tataruliev, Anastasiia Tatarulieva, and Vladyslav Tataruliev, with Creemore resident Lora Prakapenka.

THE WAY WE WERE

HEALTH MATTERS

I get to talk about many confidential topics in practice with patients. I’m constantly amazed and honoured at how patients open up about their stories and health. The one topic that almost Kate always makes patients stall HUNTER and squirm in their chairs is that of bowel movements. Many don’t know that term and I have to literally say “your poops!” After a laugh, most patients reply; “mine are normal.” But what is normal if this is a topic that we don’t openly discuss?! Below are my guidelines to track how healthy your poops are and if you need to possibly seek professional help. Any pain or blood with bowel movements? This is an important question for me to rule out more serious pathologies. Pain and blood are not normal. It can be common for various reasons such as hemorrhoids, but this indicates that something is not quite right. Are you bowel movements one piece? This helps determine the consistency and give indications to a patient’s processing and absorptive capabilities. One solid ‘S’ shape piece is the targeted norm. Loose pieces or hard pellets are not ideal and indicate that the digestive tract needs support. How often are you going per day? The norm is about one or two times per day but the ideal is three – one in one out policy for meals to bowel movements. If you are going more frequently than three times per day, there could be an IBS like process going on where you are not absorbing the maximum nutrients from your foods. If you are going less than once a day there could be issues with toxicity and leaky gut leading to inflammation. When you go, do you fully void? This is another important point to understand the digestive tract and how things are being processed. If you are having unsatisfying bowel movements, meaning unable to get everything out, this could indicate that your microbiome could use some support to help regular peristalsis and processing. If you were outside of the ‘norm’ with any of these questions, you should inquire about working with an ND. We specialize in gut health to support a healthy microbiome. The gut is not only important for absorption and excretion but it has an incredibly vital connection to brain health, the immune system and inflammatory processes in the body, so don’t ignore what your poops are telling you!

Here are but a few of Creemore’s little 'heartbeats' captured for posterity in print in old Creemore Star newspapers.

The earthquake was “a leading topic of conversation.” It was reported that the pictures on the wall flapped violently and some beds may have shaken their occupants onto the floor. Four trains a day passed along the CNR line through Creemore. In today’s world farmers must erect strong fences to keep livestock off the highways. Years ago, farmers had to contend with the railway tracks and if they didn’t... well... “Thirteen young geese and one old gander, the property of Mrs. James Miller, River Road, met with an untimely end last Thursday when they wandered out onto the CNR tracks which run near the Miller farm. The fowl were lying on the roadbed when the afternoon train swept along and with perfect ‘goosishness’ raised their heads to ‘argue’ the matter of right of way with the big mogul. Naturally the outcome was disastrous to the feathered flock, everyone of which succumbed to the injuries, which in practically all cases included the loss of a head with more or less a neck attached. The flock was highly prized by Mrs. Miller, and the birds of the like, which go a long way to put the thanks in Thanksgiving.” Helen Blackburn is a retired teacher, avid gardener and a long-time contributor to The Creemore Echo. She writes about local history.

CHS news on the Creemore Village Green gardens The members of the Creemore Horticultural Society are getting excited about the long anticipated opening of the Creemore Village Green. Things are coming together and it is great to see our garden beds in prominent locations in the new community gathering spot. The Creemore Horticultural Society volunteers responsible for designing the gardens in the Village Green are looking forward to getting our plant material into their permanent homes. Due to safety regulations, the volunteers are not allowed to work in the gardens until all construction equipment is off site. The high heat of summer is also not a good time to be planting, but we hope to start moving plants into the Village Green in September. In a couple of weeks, volunteers will start preparing some of the plants and shrubs in the beds behind the Library for the move. After we dig out the plants, the roots are thoroughly washed to remove any noxious material, and then potted up in clean, fresh soil, ready

to be re-planted into the new gardens. Depending on weather and availability of volunteers, we hope to make a good start on moving plants this fall, the rest will be moved next year. We are excited that we have bought some new choice peonies which will be available to go into the gardens later this fall. Come October, it will be ‘all hands on deck’ to plant 1,600 assorted narcissus, tulip, allium, camassia bulbs for a spectacular springtime show! The garden volunteers who weekly weed, deadhead, prune, and stake the plants in their temporary beds behind the Library are keen to shift our focus over to maintenance of the Village Green gardens. Over the winter, the team will be sourcing new plants and shrubs for spring installation. Of course, gardens are never “finished”, but we will do our best to ensure that things will be eye-catching by June. Gail Cocker, Creemore Horticultural Society

Skin by Jennifer goes mobile with facials, treatments by Trina Berlo Jennifer Page has had a smile on her face ever since her decision to leave the corporate world behind and launch her own mobile skin care business, now operating in the Creemore area. Page said she spent 15 years working in sales for some very successful startup companies when the corporate world started to lose its lustre. During a maternity leave throughout 2020 she took the time to do a little soul searching and decided to launch herself into the field of skin care, absorbing everything she could. She was accepted to a college program in Toronto and says she studied day and night, immersing herself in her new passion. Page said she realized that what was missing was that human connection. “I realized that helping people and treating people was really important,” she said. This year, she launched Skin by Jennifer, a mobile skin care service, after receiving feedback and encouragement from her Mulmur parent group, who agreed that it was not easy to find a place to get pampered within the immediate area. Page admits she too loves to be pampered and was inspired by her grandmother who taught her how to take care of her skin and her mother who treated her to facials on special occasions throughout her childhood. As a mobile aesthetician, she

Jennifer Page offers a wide range of skincare services, both medical and restorative, through a new mobile service. specializes in medical and relaxing skincare treatments, including; diamond and microdermabrasion, LED light therapy, chemical peels, and high frequency facials. The treatments come with relaxing massage to release

built up energy and toxins from the skin. She also offers pressure point release, lymphatic drainage massage, dry brushing, facial cupping and more. A self described over achiever, Page said she continues to expand her repertoire. She prides herself on creating a lush environment for treatments triggering all the senses with music, scents, and high end facial products that align with her values, in that they are as natural as possible and female-owned. “I find so much joy in making people happy and seeing them melt into the bed while doing facials,” she said. She is an advocate for a good daily cleansing routine, deep exfoliation and a good moisturizer with sunscreen. She said she understands different skin

types and how to treat them. Page said she finds people living locally love to spend time in the outdoors, both in summer and winter. That means most of her clients benefit from hydration. She also treats acne, dark spots, wrinkles and fine lines. Page said people may be surprised to learn that a lot of the signs of aging are superficial and can be reduced when build ups of dead cells and clogged pores are properly extracted.

Dufferin Farm Tour welcomes visitors back at in-person event The Dufferin Farm Tour is returning to its roots, welcoming visitors to working farms. “After two years of Covid we are pleased to be able to meet in person again,” said organizers. “This year will be visiting farms in the Grand Valley area. There will be a Jersey farm with over 300 jersey cows, a goat farm, sheep farm and cattle and horse farm.” Dufferin County is home to 520 farms, but often the connection between these farms and the food on our plate is lost. The tour provides an opportunity to share dialogue and see farming as it happens. When people learn how their food is grown and raised, they are more likely to think about buying local, supporting their local farmer and economy. Over the years, thousands of people have passed through the farm gates —including the very young and old. The Dufferin Farm Tour was established in 1999 by a group of dedicated farmers who wanted to bring rural and town people together on the farm to hear firsthand the challenges of providing safe, nutritious food.

Each year for one day in the fall, a different group of farmers open their doors to the public to showcase their farm. Families spend time talking with farmers, experiencing farm animals up close, asking questions, and watching demonstrations. Agriculture is one of the largest economic contributors in Dufferin County. Along with its spin off industries, it is one of the largest employers. The top agriculture commodities in Dufferin generate almost $120 million in cash receipts annually, injecting $270 million into the economy. The self-guided tour is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1, rain or shine. There will be food and refreshments along the way, as well as added attractions. Bring some cash. Pack up the family and follow our route on your own time. Stay as long as you want on each farm. New this year, participants are asked to register to secure a spot. Registration will open on August 15 and spaces may be limited. Donations to local food banks can be made at the time of registration and act as the price of admission to this year’s tour.

With the temporary emergency motel shelter model ending on July 31, the County of Simcoe is reporting that appropriate temporary and permanent housing options have been identified for individuals willing to be housed within the homelessness prevention services system. Through intensive on-site services and engagement by county staff and shelter providers, individuals sheltering in the temporary motel model have identified their needs and preferences. Of the 106 individuals using the model in Barrie (as of July 6), more than 76 per cent have been connected with other housing/ shelter options including more permanent housing, regular homeless shelter settings, reunification with family, residential seniors’ services, supportive housing and repatriation to home communities where employment and housing were available. Of the individuals who chose not to exercise any of these options, outreach teams will continue to work with unsheltered individuals to strengthen connections to the wide-range of homelessness prevention services and supports throughout the region. “We appreciate the efforts and cooperation of our service providers to work with County staff during this period of transition to support the needs of homeless individuals,” said County of Simcoe Warden George Cornell. “We recognize that the needs are growing across Ontario and Canada. By working collaboratively and utilizing funds, resources and knowledge of federal,

provincial, regional and municipal governments, combined with support from community partners, we can and have made a difference. We know more needs to be done and the County is committed to building sustainable solutions to further address the growing impacts of homelessness within our region.” Through the commitment and under the direction of County of Simcoe Council, staff continue to work with partners to build upon sustainable options and solutions, including: a new 14-room supportive housing program in the City of Barrie; six supportive housing units at Lucy’s Place in the City of Barrie; an additional 41 shelter beds in regular and temporary shelter settings, bringing the number of shelter beds in the City of Barrie to 152; Simcoe County Housing Corporation build at 20 Rose Street in the City of Barrie (in pre-development); a recently issued Request for Proposals (RFP) to initiate a new temporary homeless shelter facility on county-owned property in Barrie; and Request for Proposals (RFP) for Warming Centre Operations for winter 2022-2023. County staff will also be engaging the services of a consultant through an upcoming procurement process to assist with a comprehensive review of the system of homelessness services and supports in Simcoe County, with recommendations to council planned for the first quarter of 2023. This review will identify current needs to best position the system to assist homeless individuals and families.

OPP warn of grandparent scam after two incidents in Dufferin Members of the Dufferin Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are warning residents to be cautious of the Grandparent Scam following two close calls for families. On July 18, at approximately 1:30 p.m., Dufferin OPP received a call for service from an elderly person who felt that they were possibly being taken advantage of. When officers arrived, they discovered that the person had received a phone call from an individual posing as a lawyer who said that a “bail bondsman” was on the way to their home to pick up cash for their relative’s bail. The “lawyer” then put a male posing as the relative on the phone to explain that they had been arrested and needed the bail money. The person went to the bank and withdrew a large sum of money. The person then grew suspicious that this might be a scam and called the police. The officers assured the person that this was indeed a scam and assisted them in putting the money back into the bank. At approximately 2:45 p.m., on the same date, Dufferin OPP responded to a second residence for an elderly person who had received the same type of phone call. The person withdrew a large sum of

money to pay to an individual who had called them to report an urgent situation requiring money. The person grew suspicious and called the police as they felt that this may be a scam. Again, the officers assured them that this was a scam and assisted with returning their money back to the bank. It is common for people to feel embarrassed initially when they feel that they are being scammed. Therefore, these types of incidents are under reported. However, there is nothing to be ashamed of as the people that are making these phone calls are determined to get your money and are good at it. Dufferin OPP is grateful that these phone calls were reported yesterday and that there were not financially disastrous outcomes for these families. Grandparent/Emergency Frauds In a typical emergency scam, the victim will receive a frantic phone call from someone claiming to be a grandchild or loved one. Quite often the calls are made in the middle of the night to cause further confusion and to come across as extremely urgent. Scammers will often state that they are not feeling well, therefore, sound a bit different. The caller will explain that they are involved in some sort of trouble with the law or have trouble

returning from a foreign country and need money right away. The scammers will often request an electronic money transfer or money to be withdrawn and picked up by a courier service. Be aware of emergency scam warning signs Urgency: The scammer always makes the request sound very urgent, which may cause the victim to not verify the story. Fear: The scammer plays on the victim’s emotions by generating a sense of fear. For instance, they may say, “I’m really scared and I need help from you now.” Secrecy: The scammer pleads with the victim not to tell anyone about the situation, such as, “Please don’t tell my parents, they would be so mad.” To avoid becoming a victim, police advise to first check with another family member or trusted friend to verify the information before sending money. For more information regarding ongoing scams in Canada or to report fraud, visit the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at http://antifraudcentre.ca/. If you believe you have been a victim of fraud, call Dufferin OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

A Scandal for All Seasons in Collingwood through Saturday Theatre Collingwood's racy political comedy at the Simcoe Street Theatre

Theatre Collingwood is heading back indoors to the Simcoe Street Theatre with more summer entertainment. A Scandal for All Seasons is a brand-new Canadian comedy that will make you laugh-out-loud with its racy political satire. This fun-filled production entertains audiences through August 6. “A Scandal for All Seasons is a quick-witted production that is guaranteed to entertain,” says Erica Angus, Executive Director of Theatre Collingwood. “The fun, flirty nature of this farce makes it the perfect summer theatre experience.” Written by Burke Campbell, A Scandal for All Seasons is set in Barrie, Ontario where fabulously rich socialites, Doris Lester and Augusta

Peacock, form an unlikely alliance to promote the mayor’s progressive agenda and get him re-elected. Biff Worthington, Barrie’s young, handsome and athletic mayor, wants to rocket Barrie from a safe, cozy small town into a bustling grand metropolis. Instead, the city’s ultra-conservative forces try to foil Biff at every turn. Behind the scenes, the women’s mutual lust for Biff becomes a rivalry of gigantic comedic proportions as they engage in a “battle of the bulge”. The flurry of sexual innuendo, gossip, backstabbing, and political intrigue promises to have you laughing hysterically. Who will be the successful winner of Biff’s heart? The outcome is sure to be outrageous. A Scandal for All Seasons results in light-hearted entertainment under the direction of Iain Moggach, who keeps things moving along at a rapid pace. Moggach gives the cast plenty

of stumbles, double-takes and other shenanigans to make for a delightfully silly satire. With his youthful good-looks and goofy charm, Jonathon LeRose is perfectly amiable as Mayor Biff Worthington, the hopeful candidate stumbling to gain control of his re-election campaign. LeRose is a Canadian born actor of Italian and First Nations descent who began acting professionally in the CBS series Salvation. Audiences may recognize LeRose for his notable performance as Dirk, leader of the “citiots”, in the hit TV show Letterkenny. Lynn Weintraub is clever and quick-witted as Barrie socialite Augusta Peacock. With a performance career encompassing roles in local and regional theatre, film, and television, Weintraub’s 25 years of experience in the performing arts makes her stage presence completely captivating.

Interact with The Danceroom in the

Elana Post, who hails from southern Ontario, reveals her adept comic timing and tenacity (among other assets) as Doris Lester. Having appeared in many farces, Post’s career began in earnest when she appeared in the 1993 Stratford Festival production of The Mikado. Since that time, Post has become a director, writer, producer and award-winning actor working in Film and TV, as well as theatre. “A Scandal for All Seasons is political comedy at its best,” says Angus. “Startling revelations make for non-stop laughs. It’s bound to be one of the funniest shows this season.” Tickets can be purchased online at www.theatrecollingwood.ca or by calling the Box Office at 705-4452200 Toll Free 1-866-382-2200 or at the door, up to one hour prior to each performance.
