The Creemore Community Foodbank, in cooperation with Creemore Foodland, is holding a backto-school food drive.

Foodland will be putting together 30 bags of school lunch and snack items, such as granola bars, cookies, yogurt, fruit, bread, etc. The community is invited to purchase a bag, or donate via gift cards that can be purchased at the front cash. The lunch bags will be available until Sept. 12, at which time a non-perishable drive will begin.

The Community Foodbank, which operates out of St. Luke’s Anglican church, has seen a steady increase of families in need over the summer.

Councillor re-opens debate on ATV road access

by Trina Berlo With relatively few off-road vehicle infractions reported during the past two years, Councillor John Lamers said it is time to bring the issue of access back to the council table.

Lamers brought forward a notice of motion on August 22 indicating that he would be seeking council support to amend the existing ATV bylaw at the Sept. 12 meeting.

Lamers said he has been hearing from residents of Creemore and Dunedin who want ATV restrictions lifted in order to gain access to trails and core services.

The ATV bylaw, passed in 2020, restricts off-road vehicles from all roads and road allowances south of

County Road 9 to Township of Mulmur and all roads and road allowances west of County Road 42 and County Road 142.

Lamers is hoping to open access east or north of Creemore. ATVs are not allowed on county roads but access to municipal roads is at the discretion of municipal politicians.

Lamers explained that he is bringing the amendment forward on behalf of people who don’t want to have to trailer their ATVs, and leave vehicles parked at access points. He said he has heard from a couple dozen people over the past year or so.

“It’s been two years since we passed the bylaw and we haven’t had any problems in Creemore,” said Lamers.

“There’s all kinds of four wheelers in Creemore and they need access to get out of Creemore without having to load them.”

In August, Clearview’s CAO John Ferguson reported to council that the OPP responded to a total of 20 complaints in the past year, of which 17 were classified as non-criminal and two resulted in charges (one was classified as “other” with the outcome determined at the discretion of the OPP).

Clearview’s bylaw enforcement department responded to a total of six complaints in the past year, including driving over the end of someone’s driveway, driving on street late at night, parking on front lawns, and

driving in the township parks.

“Overall, it would be better if there were no incidents whatsoever. With that said the bylaw and OPP recorded infractions have been relatively low in number,” reported Ferguson.

Lamers said it's mostly about trail access but people are looking to use their four-wheelers to shop in town.

“It’s time to open it up to the public so that everyone in Clearview has access to the trails, not excluding the ones who are in town that are avid ATV riders,” said Lamers. “It’s time to carry it on and get the people what they want.”

Lamers said he is expecting a good debate and a close decision on Sept.

The County of Simcoe has opened the nomination period for the 10th Annual Newcomer Recognition Awards. The deadline to recognize deserving community champions is Sept. 23.

Over the past nine years, the Simcoe County Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) has hosted this annual celebration, both virtually and in person, to recognize outstanding community leaders and champions who take decisive action to enhance the lives of newcomers in Simcoe County. In honour of the 10th annual Newcomer Recognition Awards, plans are underway to return to an in-person celebration in late fall, though we will continue to monitor and follow all public health guidelines. Special thank you to our Gold Sponsor Honda of Canada Manufacturing for their tremendous support of this event.

Application submissions should be returned via fax to 705-725-9539, or email to sclip@simcoe.ca.

Individuals and/or organizations/businesses can be nominated for the following categories: community champion, immigrant artist, immigrant entrepreneur, immigrant mentor, service excellence, immigrant youth, youth community champion, ethno-cultural group, culturally diverse workforce (organization/ business), welcoming work environment (organization/ business), marketing and outreach (organization/ business), and multiculturalism through education (educator/school).

LETTER

ATV motion must be withdrawn Editor: It is beyond comprehension why Councillor Lamers of New Lowell at the end of his tenure would risk his good legacy – as well as council’s – by re-introducing a motion in the final stages of a lame duck council to allow ATVs yet again in Creemore and Dunedin.

This issue has bitterly divided the community and has been settled. If council wishes to preserve

its integrity and our respect, the motion must be withdrawn or dismissed.

It has been a challenging time for all of us these past two years. There are larger issues that we need to constructively address together. We look forward to meeting the new council to address these.

Greg Young, President, CARA.

crude box stove, which the corridor afforded. The detachment of the special constables was honourably discharged leaving prisoners access to the corridor and the stove. Half an hour later some curious boys who were hovering around the jail, were startled to see the old heating stove coming through a cell window in about a hundred pieces, followed by pieces of burned wood, ashes, fire, smoke, etc. It is said that an obstructed chimney had caused the stove to smoke so badly the prisoners had to dispose of the stove to avoid suffocation.

Chief Wilson was soon on the scene with the prisoners’ supper and succeeded in setting up another stove.”

The new form of transportation in 1928 often caused a good many problems as the next story will tell.

“A car dealer in Creemore had business in Barrie and borrowed an Essex coupe from a friend to make the journey down the Mad River. East of Brentwood the coupe suddenly slowed down to a dead stop. Well experienced with cars, the driver got down and sought the trouble. The ignition looked good and so did the carburetor.

In fact nothing that he could see was wrong, and he started to crank until he sat down and wiped his brow. Then remembering the fable of King Bruce and the spider he got up and cranked

some more.

“Driving from Creemore to Barrie another motorist was surprised to find on the highway a gas tank of an Essex car. Not having any idea which route the loser had taken he wisely set it to one side and drove on. Four miles on, a lone driver was seen vigorously cranking a car. On coming up with a dialogue, something like this took place. First man: Just as I always said, these cars are not in it when you want service. Second driver: Why, what’s the matter? First man: Well, here I am for half an hour; nothing seems wrong but the thing won’t go. Second driver: Have you gas? First man: Full tank when I left Creemore. Oh, yes, I always carry lots of gas. Second man: By the way, where is the gas tank on this car? First man: Why right here behind. By Jove, it’s not here, and in a twinkling he realized why the car wouldn’t go.

“The final scene has driver number two playing the part of the Good Samaritan. After returning four miles for the lost tank he then pulled the unfortunate motorist 10 miles to Barrie where necessary repairs were made.”

Hearts for Claire

by Trina Berlo Ayrlie MacEachern has created an opportunity for people to send best wishes to Claire Adams, who was injured in a collision on August 8.

MacEachern has left paper hearts at Lagom 172 (where Adams was working), which she will stitch together to make a garland. People of all ages are invited to write a message, a word or a doodle on the hearts make from upcycled watercolour paper that is blank on one side and was been painted by children on the other decades ago.

She is now in rehab and is improving daily.

MacEachern said she wanted to do something to support Adams and her family, and because she is crafty and loves the heart symbol, she came up with this idea.

“It’s about spreading the love, and building the prayers,” said MacEachern.

“Even though most of us can’t be with Claire, or see her, we can have her in our prayers and in our thoughts.”

BIA ushers in autumn with Equinox party

by Trina Berlo Creemore BIA is welcoming the change of seasons with an Autumn Equinox celebration on Saturday, Sept. 17.

BIA president Laurie Severn said the equinox is a time to celebrate the harvest and mark the change of season as we say farewell to summer and welcome the fall.

The BIA is hosting a free concert and traditional country dance at the newly opened Creemore Village Green.

The event begins at 5 p.m.

It will start off with a hoedown with caller Lorraine Sutton and musicians, at 5:30 p.m. Sutton teaches each traditional dance – squares, circles, and contras – to the dancers before they dance to the music. No previous

country dance experience is required.

Sutton says, knowing your left hand from your right hand and the ability to count to eight are all that is required.

At 7:30 p.m., indie folk group Great Lake Swimmers, led by songwriter/ vocalist Tony Dekker, will take to the Village Green stage. Great Lake Swimmers have earned two Juno Award nominations, have been shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Prize, and won a Canadian Indie Award for Favourite Folk/Roots Artist/Group.

Severn said the decision was made to avoid street closures for this event, based on feedback from BIA members and the availability of the park.

Beef Farmers of Ontario (BFO) hosted a two-day Cow-Calf Management Tour that brought farmers from the province to two Creemore area farms. The event featured tours of progressive beef farms in Simcoe County. More than 60 people visited the Whitley farm (Jim Whitley is the Simcoe County rep on the BFO advisory council) and the Millsap farm (David Millsap is a BFO board member) on Saturday, August 27 for an opportunity for peer-to-peer learning, to see how other farms operate and to learn from experts about things like pasture management, rotational grazing, and carbon sequestration.

Doug and Patsy GloverMartin from Mulmur Morningcall Farm had a heifer entered in the Bonanza Heifer Show in Lindsay Ontario, which finished first in her class.

The heifer is pictured with Renee Rogers and Patsy Glover-Martin.

OPP officer involved in collision An officer from the Huronia West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was involved in a motor vehicle collision August 27 on County Road 92 between Vigo Road and Crosslands Road.

The collision took place at approximately 1:30 p.m. where the police vehicle, travelling east bound, was rear ended by a delivery truck. Both vehicles were towed from the scene and neither driver suffered any injuries.

Kayakers rescued by helicopter from Minesing Swamp Huronia West OPP received a call at 7:45 p.m. on August 28 from a pair of 18-year-old kayakers that had become lost in the Minesing Swamp and needed assistance.

The OPP Emergency Response Team (ERT) members attended and with the assistance of the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) out of Trenton, a Griffon helicopter was dispatched to aide in their rescue.

The pair had left Willow Creek in their tandem kayak four hours prior with the intention of travelling the Nottawasaga River with their destination being Edenvale Conservation Centre. As they travelled the river and entered the area of the Minesing swamp, it became too narrow to maneuver their vessel any further. Unable to get turned around or get to solid ground, the pair called police for assistance. Just before midnight the pair were extracted by helicopter to a nearby airport, and one party was transported to hospital as a precaution.

The OPP would like to remind everyone that it is their responsibility to make sure they are prepared when travelling into remote areas and to appropriately manage any risks associated with these recreational activities.

Search and rescue operations can be complex, expensive and time consuming and involve multiple agencies who, themselves are put at risk.

"Our best advice is to avoid putting yourself in potentially dangerous circumstances in the first place and to properly plan for contingencies, be prepared for worst-case scenarios, and take along appropriate equipment/clothing," said police.

Impaired driver caught travelling 77km/hr over speed limit

On August 24 at 11:25 p.m., officers were travelling along County Road 124 near Duntroon when their radar registered an oncoming vehicle at a speed of 157 km/hr in a posted 80 km/hr zone. Police stopped the vehicle and arrested the impaired driver, who was subsequently transported to the Huronia West Detachment for further investigation.

As a result, a 25-year-old from Singhampton, has been charged with: Operation while impaired; Operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus).

Bolton Brewers Daniel Accardo receives the ball as Jake Nicholson of the New Lowell Knights reaches first base during an Aug. 28 game in Bolton. Nicholson was called safe on the play.

Knights, Brewers split weekend games

by Scott Anderson The New Lowell Knights and Bolton Brewers played the first two games of a best-of-seven championship series over the weekend.

The Knights took Game 1 with a 4-3 ball game on Saturday while the Brewers took Game 2, 9-5 on Sunday.

A 10-inning game on Saturday started the series between the two teams. The Knights scored two runs in the third and one in the fourth to take a 3-0 lead.

In the fifth frame, Bolton scored two runs on a Daniel Accardo homer and then tied it in the sixth on a Stephen Warden home run.

After the regulation seven innings the game entered extras and ended in the bottom of the tenth when the Knights loaded the bases and the winning run scored from a walk.

Brett Elliott of New Lowell led the way with three singles during the game. Tanner Zeggil, Brandon Norrie, Dale Lightheart, and Chris Greer hit two singles each and Sid Beelen and Jake Nicholson chipped in with a base hit.

In addition to the home run, Warden also hit a single for the Brewers. Mike Wallace and Amin Juorez had two hits apiece and Chris Fafalios and John Hutchinson singled.

The Knights hill was commanded by Brandon Norrie for eight innings. He gave up three runs on nine hits, walked one and struck out seven Brewers.

Steve Baldry pitched the last two innings with two strikeouts.

The long ball was the difference maker for the Brewers in Game 2, winning the contest 9-5 on Sunday.

The Knights opened with three runs in the first inning but the Brewers came back with three of their own including a solo home run from Drew Volkey in the bottom of the inning.

In the second frame, Bolton plated a run which was answered by New Lowell in their half of the third to tie the game again.

In the fourth, with a runner on base Volkey homered to score two for the Brewers. Another three runs were scored in the fifth to make it a 9-4 game.

The Knights cashed a lone run in the seventh.

Bolton’s Volkey hit a double in addition to his two home runs, Warden doubled and singled twice, Accardo hit three singles, Fafalios doubled and Hutchinson and Juorez contributed with a single.

Steve Bowman for New Lowell hit two triples, Zeggil hit two singles and Elliott, Norrie, Greer, and Sean Connor all singled.

He pitched six and one-third of the game, allowed five runs on eight hits, walked two and struck out three Knights.
