By Bonnie MacPherson Robert McArthur , a 59 year old Clearview township farmer and lifelong resident of the Cashtown Corners area, has served notice of his intention to challenge for the Ward 2 seat in this fall’s municipal election. McArthur runs a mixed crop and cattle operation on County Rd. 9 which was started by his grandfather. He has worked at Reinhart Foods in Stayner for 26 years, progressing through multiple roles and served for 15 years as a volunteer firefighter. This is not his first foray into municipal politics. McArthur ran for council in 2014, losing to incumbent Thom Paterson. His father, Milton McArthur, was a councillor and then deputy reeve of Nottawasaga Township prior to Followingamalgamation.areviewin 2021, council voted to redraw ward boundaries. Creemore and Avening, formerly part of Ward 5, will be part of a larger Ward 2 together with Singhampton, Duntroon, Glen Huron and Dunedin. The new council will consist of five ward representatives plus a mayor and deputy mayor elected at large. McArthur says being a rural oriented person he is well suited to represent the interests of a large, predominantly ruralOtherarea.candidates that have registered in the past week include Paul Van Staveren and Chuck Arrand for Deputy Mayor, Maqsood Dogar and Richard Paul in Ward 3. The last chance to file as a candidate is Friday, Aug. 19 between the hours of 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Information is available on the Clearview website.

Clearview homeless are invisible

The problem of homelessness may look different in Clearview Township than in neighbouring Simcoe County municipalities, but it does exist according to Mayor Doug Measures Measures recently told Clearview Council that as one of the smaller municipalities in the county and one which is largely agricultural, we do not have a highly visible homeless population. However, surveys prove that there is a significant number of people in our community who are relegated to “couch surfing”. Measures says funding from the county to the shelter system directly supports a City of Barrie initiative, but notes that as the largest municipality in the county, Barrie is a magnet for the homeless. County councillors voted at their Aug. 9 meeting to support a plan to establish a facility with 50 shelter beds on the former site of the Barrie OPP detachment at 20 Rose St. Greg Bishop, the county’s general manager of social services says the proposed building will be modular. It could potentially be taken down and moved to another location in the future, or converted to supportive or transitional housing. The county purchased the land several years ago with the intention of building supportive housing in the coming years but with the motel housing program instituted during the pandemic coming to an end there was a need to move quickly. Construction will start as soon as possible with a target completion date of this November.Bishopsays that of the 223 available shelter spots in Simcoe County there were 49 beds unoccupied as of Aug. 8. Shelter demand is historically lower in August as many people experiencing homelessness elect to sleep outdoors but when colder weather returns in the fall, demand will increase.

By Bonnie MacPherson Competing in an Ultimate Fitness Event (UFE) was a bucket list item for Lisa Squire, owner of the Home Hardware franchise in Stayner. Recently Squire not only competed in a UFE bodybuilding showcase in London, Ontario, she brought home a gold medal in the Masters/Novice division and bronze in the Novice/Open category. Years ago, while working as a massage therapist, Squire witnessed astonishing transformations as women at the adjoining gym trained for UFE events. She vowed that before her 50th birthday, she would become a UFE bodybuilder. Early in 2020, Squire was 14 weeks into a gruelling 20 week program to prepare for her first competition., then COVID happened, and the competition was cancelled. She stopped training, but says the goal remained as a niggle in the back of her mind. This past January, she signed up for another 20 weeks of intensive training. She purchased an on-line program from UFE, and kept in touch with a friend who was prepping for a different division at the same time, but she trained on her own. The training involved five phases of four weeks each with the exercises and diet changing with each phase. She worked out for 90 minutes, five days per week, and ate a diet high in lean protein and green vegetables. Squire says the diet got very boring, particularly once spring hit and people began socializing again. Having a date on the calendar and an event she was committed to helped her stay the course.Squire describes herself as “not terribly body-confident” going into this experience, just very gutsy. She has always had a love of theatre, and a love of fitness. Body-building was the perfect intersection of those interests. Many competitors hire “posing coaches” to prepare for UFE showcases. Squire and her friend took a different approach and hired Kat Salvador of the Danceroom in Stayner to instruct them in a range of skills from walking in heels to stage presence and maintaining eye contact with the audience. The toughest part of the actual competition according to Squire was the tanning session. Spray tan is required to show muscle definition to maximum advantage. The day prior to the competition, a large group of naked women lined up in a giant spray booth, then shivered in front of enormous drying fans. That experience, says Squire, confirmed that even the most seasoned competitors are acutely aware of their imperfections. Once she saw that, she stopped questioning whether she was good enough to be there. The rest, she describes as a “princess experience” with hair, makeup and pampering. The hard work was done and it was her time to feel beautiful and feel like an athlete. By the end of the competition she says women who went there as strangers felt like members of a team.With her wins in the June event, Squire was invited to advance to an Elite level competition, but she declined, saying she has nothing left to prove. She qualified as a Level 1 Cross Fit Coach in 2020 and continues to coach and work out five days a week. The top notch team that looks after the Home Hardware store makes it possible for her to carve out that time. She will go into her 50s feeling strong and fit. Her son, in commenting on her achievement said, “That was great. Congratulations. Now could you put some clothes on!”

If you are thinking of having a boarder in your home, please discuss this with your accountant, and never think that you cannot declare this income on your tax return. All it takes is an anonymous tip to the CRA from a disgruntled neighbour or tenant, and you will be audited. Run your homestay business the right way. Do your homework and make a business plan. Consider your home location and whether you want to provide rooms for travellers, international students, or just people from your community. Will you cater to singles, business professionals, or have an age or income requirement? Whatever you choose, if you decide to entertain the homestay business and use what my friend would call them as her “mortgage helpers,” you could stand to make a lot of money and will most likely reach your goals in half the time.

Candice, I want to share a story with you about a very good friend of mine that created a homestay business and used this income to make the payments on her mortgage to eventually today be mortgage free. A homestay business is similar to an Airbnb business but uniquely different in that it is mainly used for international student housing all around the world. The idea of having a boarder in your home is not new, in fact, it was a very common practice in the early 1900s. I know, today most people would not want to take in a boarder, instantly giving up their personal space and privacy. That being said, this activity, now referred to as a homestay business, has become surprisingly popular within the academic world and it has helped many people bridge the gap with their income and the lifestyle they desire. The internet has opened a whole new world of business opportunities, with some big companies now offering services to connect students and travellers with hosting families that are all part of a new network of temporary scholastic lodging facilities.Starting a homestay business is relatively easy, however there are few things you need to keep in mind. You can never really step away from this type of business, always monitoring your student boarders and interviewing potential new ones. This is a true home-based business and as such must be reported on your tax return. You will need to declare the rental income, but by doing so, you can also take advantage of the many household expenses you can write off annually. Good, comprehensive home insurance is also a must, and once you get the hang of things you will also want to set out the “household do’s and don’ts” to your new homestay students. My friend has had a homestay business for the last 30 years and used this extra income to upgrade her homes throughout the years. Besides the obvious desire for a larger residence and perhaps acquiring more boarders, my friend realized that this business was a great way to continue using the qualified home expenses as future tax write offs to lower her income. Mortgage interest, property taxes, home insurance, and all utility expenses are legitimate write-offs to lower income. The secret to really benefiting from this strategy would be to live within your means and use all of the business income to pay down debt. This became a very manageable business venture for my friend, one that lowered her marginal tax rate through the years and ultimately allowed her to pay less taxes and increase her net worth.

ThankCandiceyou Candice for your question – with all the talk in the media about more employment positions than applicants, we still need to be reminded that today’s living expenses are increasing faster than employment incomes and many are feeling the squeeze in today’s economic market.

By Bonnie MacPherson Artist photographer Peter Dusek has always loved Creemore. But the village was just a bit too far from Toronto where many of his customers are located. He and his wife have made their home in the Hockley Valley since 1998. For the next month, Dusek will display his Shibumi collection in a pop up gallery at the old Meat Market building, 151 MillShibumiSt. is the Japanese philosophy of quiet and serenity. Dusek uses negative space in his images to instill those feelings. He says people are so bombarded with information from various media inputs that they tend to feel better when they can add some space and quiet the noise. He draws a parallel between art and life, suggesting that the peace a viewer experiences when looking at one of his pared-down images is not unlike the feeling of calm that comes from free time and an uncluttered environment.Manyofhis images are shot in winter with snow providing a sort of blank canvas, floating images and creating lightness. He also uses fog and snow to limit the distance his camera reaches. Unlike painters who have the luxury of ignoring what they don’t want to see, Dusek says a photographer must work with what is

Hockley Artist brings Shibumi to Creemore actually there, as the camera captures everything. He does limited editing to clean things up a bit, occasionally blurring things like weeds poking through the snow, but for the most part he lives with what his camera sees. He describes his work as “a slightly abstract form of realism”. Most of his work is shot between Hockley Valley and Collingwood, with the occasional foray into Muskoka and Southern Georgian Bay. Typically he just drives around looking for scenes that speak to him. Some days he drives for hours and finds nothing meaningful to photograph. Other days he will find four or five great pictures in close proximity.Dusek is a winner of many international awards and his works have been featured at galleries throughout Canada and the United States, including Butter Gallery in Collingwood. His career got a big boost when Saks Fifth Avenue selected 38 of his images to decorate their new Toronto stores in 2015. To date, Dusek has worked almost exclusively with black and white in keeping with his clean, minimalist esthetic. His images range in size from an intimate eight inches wide to works as large as nine feet. He has begun experimenting with colour as a means of conveying emotion. Dusek created a great deal of work during the pandemic while there were no places available to show. He’s now looking forward to sharing his photographs with the public. The Creemore exhibit is open Fridays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays 11a.m. to 4 p.m.

SUNDAY AUGUST 21 • 10 AM TO 2 PM along the Main Line Walk & Crokinockey

By Bonnie MacPherson What was once an abandoned farm house and 37 acres of rented fields on Fairgrounds Road has become a model of Regenerative Farming. Hog Wild Farm is now producing top quality pork and beef, and constantly expanding their product range. When Chris Kornacki and his wife Brandi announced their plan to leave their jobs in Toronto to try farming in Creemore, friends thought they were crazy. Chris was a strength and fitness coach, managing a successful clinic in the city. Brandi is a physiotherapist. Both are keenly interested in nutrition – not just the foods they consume but how those foods areKornackiproduced.had long had a dream of homesteading. His first farm property purchase was near Mattawa where he farmed each weekend and relied on help from his father to keep things going through the week. By taking a roommate in Toronto he was able to fund the mortgage on the farm. That initial foray whetted his appetite and left him trying to find a way to leave the city to farm full time. Legalization of cannabis in Ontario in 2018 presented an opportunity. Kornacki, no longer single by then, was granted three micro licenses. He describes himself as “not passionate about cannabis, but grateful for the income it generates” to fund their regenerative farming enterprise. In 2019, he and Brandi made a leap of faith and left their life in the city behind to become full-time farmers. The fundamental principle underlying regenerative farming is that the farm is an ecosystem and that soil quality can be improved year over year by nurturing natural soil organisms and forgoing traditional agricultural practices. Kornacki explains that plowing and tilling leave bare soil vulnerable to erosion and baking in the sun. As crops leach nutrients from the soil, traditional agriculture relies on chemical fertilizers and pesticides to maximize production. In regenerative farming, livestock grazes on a series of perennial pastures, fertilizing as they go. His herd of 20 hogs, purchased in the spring as weaners, will rotate through a series of fifty 5,000 square foot paddocks over a six month growing season being fed a non-genetically modified diet and feasting on local nuts, berries and fruits for the last 8 to 12 weeks before they are butchered. A flock of chickens follows along, pecking and scratching, enjoying a protein rich diet of fly larva, while controlling the fly population without chemicals. A herd of 12 Black Angus cattle will do two full rotations of the pastures. Kornacki says they made the decision not to overwinter any livestock to eliminate the expense of winter shelters . Kornacki is a vocal advocate of regenerative farming, and is frequently tapped to speak to interested groups. A more detailed technical explanation of his approach can be found in a YouTube lecture, Chris Kornacki - Regenerative Agriculture: How We Got Here and the Way Forward

A new regeneration on the family farm

Initially, all their customers were family and friends, but the base is expanding through referrals and on-line sales. Most orders are bulk purchases of half or full hogs although smaller orders are possible.

“Environmentalist Zwena Gray will be closing out the festival with her “Black on the Bruce” tales", enthuses MK Lynde, who played a central role in diversifying the programming. Of course, the core of the Festival remains the Artists on Location. As of print time, 50 established and emerging regional artists have registered to present new works in a great range of mediums from gouache to mixed media, photography, pottery, oil, acrylic, metal, wood, textiles. “Through the isolation imposed by the pandemic, these artists have taken personal journeys inwards and processed our changing world – and their changing selves – by testing and experimenting with new mediums, styles, colours,” explains Martha Bull who, along with Carole Watson, spent countless hours reconnecting artists with the festival. “There’s now a tremendous amount of new artwork that is seeking public engagement, and feedback from fellow artists.” “And big thanks to our community for responding so positively to our call for artist venues, and offering up store space, front porches, even living rooms” adds Melemis Walters. A thoughtful inclusion to the festival will be the kids’ craft stations at the Creemore Log Cabin. Beth Harte has designed a wide variety of arts and heritage activities for infants to 12-year-olds. You’ll be able to drop in with your kids and stay as long as you like. PHAHS is expecting 2,000 attendees over the weekend.

The Creemore Festival of the Arts is a proud partner of Clearview's Small Halls Festival. For more information on times and tickets visit www.phahs.ca.

After a two-year pandemic hiatus, the Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society (PHAHS) is bringing back the Creemore Festival of the Arts, Friday, Sept. 30 to Sunday, Oct. 2. “We’re excited about the inclusive programming we’ve organized,” said Nadine Melemis Walters, Festival Chair. “Art is reflective of our world. In light of all the activist movements we’ve been witnessing, absorbing, we knew we needed to broaden the scope of the festival to ensure its cultural relevance.” And broaden they have, with loads of attendeeparticipation engagements. Creemore will be hosting its first Drag Show, with a runway and cabaret-style seating in the Legion hall. There will also be a Drag 101 workshop offering an opportunity for everyone to learn about the history, politics, etiquette and culture of this form of self expression while getting some awesome hair and makeup tips. Everyone is invited to add their unique brush stroke to create a massive public masterpiece. The global sensation Choir!Choir!Choir! will provide the village an opportunity to sing-a-long with friends and family at two shows. Notorious Cree will perform an Indigenous hoop dance on the Village Green stage.

Arts meets activism at this year's PHAHS event Sales down but prices are holding

Huronia West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have arrested the wanted suspect involved in an attempt murder investigation within Stayner, Township of Clearview. On July 31, 2022, at approximately 11:55 p.m., OPP officers responded to a 9-1-1 call at an address in Stayner. Officers located a person inside the residence suffering from serious injuries. The initial investigation revealed that the victim was sexually assaulted and then stabbed. The victim was transported to a local hospital where she was later air-lifted to a trauma centre. As a result of the investigation, a warrant was issued for Michael Zaakir, 31-years-old from Wasaga Beach on the following charges: Attempt to commit murder Aggravated sexual assault Failure to comply with release order - other than to attend court Uttering threats - cause death or bodily harm - two Theft of motor vehicle On the evening of Friday, Aug. 5, with the assistance of Bracebridge OPP, members of the Huronia West OPP arrested Michael Zaakir without incident. He was held for a bail hearing and remanded into custody. Police would like to thank the public for the tips received which assisted in locating Zaakir.

By Bonnie MacPherson While the number of home sales in the area is down sharply from a year ago, prices are holding steady thus far for non-waterfront properties. Data from the MLS system shows the number of sales of non-waterfront, residential properties in the Lakelands West region in July was 103 units, down 49 per cent from July 2021. The median price, meanwhile was up 6.6 per cent year over year to $750,000. There were 7 sales of waterfront residential properties this July, flat to 2021 levels but the median price was off sharply from $1,800,000 in 2021 to $1,100,000 last month. The Lakelands West region takes in Clearview, Collingwood, the Blue Mountains, Grey Highlands, Meaford and Wasaga Beach.

The festival is organized and hosted entirely by a group of volunteers that includes Nadine Melemis Walters, Sara Hershoff, MK Lynde, Jess Tamlin, Martha Bull, Carole Watson, Beth Harte, Liz Eakins, Kavi Karnaker, Pierre Marcoux and the PHAHS board.“We all have a passion for making our community remarkable, supporting our businesses, and welcoming visitors and friends to the area.”

Chuck Murney, President Lakelands Association of Realtors says the number of sales of residential properties dropped to well below average levels in July. He says inventory levels are up from rock bottom which is a welcome change after the very limited selection over the past few years. The number of new listings being added is in line with new listings for the last few years but the rate of absorption has slowed. Murney adds that the growing divide between new supply and buyer demand suggests that sellers are lagging behind the market on pricing expectations. Prices have been moderating from peaks reached in the spring, in part due to buyer purchasing power being eroded. Even as the market is pressured by inflation, higher interest rates and wavering consumer sentiment Murney says pent up demand for rural and recreational properties has kept our direction in the flat to 10 per cent growth

The Station on the Green will serve as HQ and showcase art from each artist, and host the PHAHS members and artists' reception on Saturday, Oct. 1. “If you aren’t already a member, please consider becoming one so we can keep developing engaging programming. And please reach out to us if you’d like to showcase an artist on your property,” encourages Melemis Walters.

First and second doses will be available for individuals five years and older, first booster doses for individuals 12 and up and second booster doses for people 18 years of age and older who received their first booster dose more than three months ago. Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Kieran Moore says the seventh wave of COVID has peaked with key indicators including hospital admissions and COVID-19 wastewater signals declining since the beginning of the Lookingmonth.ahead to the fall, a new wave of COVID-19 may not be as bad as he would have predicted a few months ago, although colder weather pushing more activities indoors does increase risk. A lot of Ontarians have already been infected with the Omicron variant. There is still a risk of reinfection with Omicron, Moore said, but people who have been vaccinated and infected are much better protected than people with an infection but no vaccination. Health Canada approved a lowerdose COVID-19 vaccine for children under the age of five in mid-July.

A Toronto woman, disabled following a car accident five years ago, is hoping for a bit of good luck. Since her accident she has suffered severe memory issues, and kept losing her wallet, so she took to carrying her money in a large yellow kinder egg. Earlier this week, on a visit to Creemore, the egg was lost. She has no particular connection to Creemore, just a genuine fondness for the village. Three years ago a relative in Collingwood offered the use of a cottage equipped with accessibility features. On the way north, she and her husband detoured through Creemore on a whim and loved it so much they have returned each summer. The woman describes herself as lucky in all kinds of ways. While she would love to have the egg and its contents returned, she hopes that if she doesn’t get it back, it winds up in the hands of someone who needs it more than she. Should you find the missing egg and wish to see it returned to the rightful owner, kindly drop into the Echo office.

June 23, 1939 - August 7, 2022 Our beloved mother, wife, grandmother, and dear friend passed away very suddenly and far too early. We are heartbroken. Marg was our anchor, our inspiration, our joy. She was 83 years young and full of life and vitality. Marg was predeceased by her parents Phyllis and Charles Eder, her brother Karl and her beloved dog, Murphy. She will be forever cherished and deeply missed by Paul, her husband of 56 years, her daughters Lynne (Ian Cleghorn) and Jill (Jen Davidson), her grandchildren Erica Cleghorn and Jamie Cleghorn, and her dear cousin Kate Razumova. Auntie Marg will also be missed by her sister-in-law Ann Eder and her nephew Tony Eder and niece Libby Eder. Marg was a graduate of McGill Nursing and did her residency at the Toronto General Hospital where she made many lifelong friends. She left nursing to raise her family and enjoyed many years living in Toronto, but it was her years living in Creemore and more recently Collingwood, that she cherished the most. Regardless of where she lived she was always involved in her community; most recently as a passionate volunteer and board member of the Collingwood Music Festival. Marg had a warm disposition and was always kind, engaging and interested in the lives of her friends and family. She was a superb mother and grandmother, and her children and grandchildren were her light. As a family we spent much cherished time together travelling, cottaging, picnicking, skiing, playing games, and celebrating all the family milestones and accomplishments together. Marg was elegant and gracious, and put so much effort into making things just right for everyone, including the dogs who all preferred to live with her. Outside of her family, Marg had a wonderful group of friends and a special group of girlfriends who she absolutely adored. She was a confidant to many as she had an empathetic ear, was understanding, non-judgmental, and offered clear and common sense advice. Throughout her life, Marg loved being active and was an avid tennis player, skier, hiker and golfer, and loved sharing these passions with friends and family. She had many hobbies over the years including gardening, pottery, beekeeping, painting, sewing, collecting shells, refinishing furniture… you name it, she has tried it. Gramma was very creative and always had a craft at the ready for her grandchildren and the neighbour's children Marg loved to travel and was a life long learner. She was always game for any adventure and never shied away from a challenge. She has travelled to all the continents, and together with Paul, led ski trips to Europe for many years. Most recently on her 83rd birthday, Lynne and Jill experienced an epic mother-daughter trip to England where she hiked over hill and dale in the Cotswolds and sat courtside at Wimbledon. We laughed so hard our cheeks hurt and were planning more trips… You will be forever and a day in our hearts, and we will carry you with us wherever we go. Anyone wishing to make a donation in Marg's memory please consider the www.collingwoodfestival.com.
