Artists to show in studios, businesses, on porches

by Trina Berlo More than 60 artists will be participating in the Artists on Location program during Creemore Festival of the Arts Sept. 30 to Oct. 2, hosted by Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society.

The two-day arts tour takes participants to more than 60 artists in studios, businesses and front porches throughout Creemore, Glen Huron and Dunedin.

The list includes both emerging and established artists in a variety of mediums including paint, pottery, textiles, sculpture, metal, wood, photography, and more.

Artist coordinator Martha Bull said attendees are invited to start their tour at Station on the Green where each artist will have a feature piece on display. There, they can get

a map and plan their tour.

“The area is a hotbed for artists,” said Bull, who works out of Mill Street Art Studio in Creemore.

The Mill Street walk goes as far north as the old rectory on County Road 9 where resident Stacey Karsgaard will show her work with master printmaker Louise Zurosky, and Paulette Dennis, who will be creating live on location. Walk south to find artists set up on Mill Street’s historic grand porches, and then on to the downtown sector, where businesses are hosting a variety of artists.

Bull who is coordinating the artists said she has extended invitations to many of the artists who were members of the Mad and Noisy Gallery, which was an artists’ co-op (See “Tour” on page 3)

There are two all candidates meetings planned for September, one in Mulmur and one in Clearview.

Silvershoe Historical Society marks 25 years with 'blockbuster event'

by Trina Berlo The SilverShoe Historical Society is hosting a blockbuster event this month in celebration of its 25th anniversary.

The show will feature musicians, entertainers and a performance of the The Spirit of Harriet Tubman, as portrayed by Leslie McCurdy.

McCurdy brings to life Harriet Tubman, the famed heroine of the Underground Railroad in a performance that has captivated audiences across Canada; the United States and in London, England. On a barren stage with only a trunk of costumes, The Spirit of Harriet Tubman uses Tubman’s own words in telling the story of her life from her earliest experiences as a slave, through her work on the underground railroad, to her continued commitment to others in her later years.

The evening’s program begins with a fabulous starting line-up of Canadian recording artists featuring performances by vocalist and keyboardist Tiki Mercury-Clarke (Toronto); singer-songwriter Rob Green (Hamilton); the popular local duo Sheri Weldon and John MacMurchy (Collingwood); along with Rudi Quammie Williams and The Adinkrafarm African Drums and Dance Ensemble.

SilverShoe Historical Society is a non-profit organization and an affiliate of the Ontario Historical Society.

Executive director Janie CooperWilson is herself a recipient of the Harriet Tubman Award, a lifetime achievement award presented by the Ontario Black History Society.

An advocate for the preservation of endangered historical buildings and early cemeteries, Cooper-Wilson has spent 25 years working with a group of volunteers to restore Bethel Union Pioneer Cemetery in New Lowell and she was successful in having it designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, for its cultural heritage and historical significance. The SilverShoe Historical Society then turned its attention to the Old Zion Presbyterian Church Cemetery (also known as the Sunnidale Pioneer Cemetery), on Highway 26.

Cooper-Wilson said she is thrilled to bring the The Spirit of Harriet Tubman to a local audience. She said she was blown away by it when she first saw the performance years ago.

“It is absolutely amazing,” she said. “We’re really going to have a wonderful show, I think.”

The show is Saturday, Sept. 24 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the RecPlex, 1724 Mosley Street, Wasaga Beach.

Admission costs $20. Tickets may be reserved by e-transfer to executive. sshs.247@gmail.com or purchased at the door on a first-come, first-serve basis due to limited seating. For bios on all the performers, visit creemore.com.

Tour welcomes back artists who helped shape Creemore (Continued from page 1) on Mill Street from about 2004-2013.

“The gallery had more than 40 artists, all of them great,” said Bull, adding that it was a real draw for Creemore.

She is thinking of the event as a bit of a reunion for all the artists that helped to shape the community and made it a very attractive place to live and work. More than a dozen of the gallery’s artists are participating in this year’s event. “[Art] was THE reason to come to Creemore for many, many years,” said Bull. “The Gallery attracted a lot of artist from the area.”

The Barrie Art Club is featuring 10 artists at Dunedin Hall, and Lynn

Connell will be at the Creativity Art Retreat down the road.

Artists on Location is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday Oct. 1 and Sunday Oct. 2. Admission is free.

In addition to artist shows and sales, there will be Kids’ Crafts at Creemore Log Cabin from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. each day, and Martha’s Amazing Audience Participation Art Project from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1 at the corner of Mill Street and Caroline Street West.

Participation is free.

The Choir! Choir! Choir! shows and the drag show are sold out but there will be a PG 13 Drag 101 presentation, Drag It out with Justine, from noon to 1:30 p.m. on

Banducci said the initiative evolved after Ukrainian families came to the area. Her neighbour is hosting a family, and they started to discuss ways to support them as they integrate into the community.

OPINION COMMUNITY

County of Simcoe works to support the “missing middle” in the housing spectrum With the rising cost of living, the County of Simcoe will be pursuing a new project aimed at addressing the housing needs of middle-income residents who are struggling with housing affordability, often referred to as the “missing middle.”

County council has authorized staff to move forward with a strategy to address attainable housing across Simcoe County, with the intention of developing a suite of tools that municipalities can use to help address the housing attainability in their communities.

“While our communities remain more affordable than many of our neighbouring jurisdictions, county council is concerned with the rising cost of living for many of our residents,” said Warden George Cornell.

“It is our hope that this project will identify creative solutions to help ease the burden for our residents and offer effective solutions to help our municipalities prioritize the right attainable housing product for our communities.”

Staff at the County of Simcoe have been working with various local municipalities to explore partnership opportunities. The vision for the project is to develop a strategy examining factors that are driving home prices, the range of attainable homes across the region, land use planning supports, and identify what can be done by municipalities to ease the burden on our residents. The project is expected to begin September 2022 and will involve a cross-section of partners in the housing system.

With this new initiative, the county continues to expand the work it offers across the housing spectrum: from transitionary housing and shelter support, to social and affordable housing, to financial assistance with affordable secondary/garden suites and agefriendly renovations, to seniors living and long term care.

The County of Simcoe is composed of sixteen member municipalities and provides crucial public services to County residents in addition to providing paramedic and social services to the separated cities of Barrie and Orillia. Visit simcoe.ca.

Editor: My principal residence since September 1996 has been on Concession 8 Nottawasaga Road. The so-called ‘unopened road allowance’ appears on township maps (from County Road 9 at the south near Dunedin and goes north to Sideroad 9 & 10 Nottawasaga.

I have several reasons for continuing to exclude this so called ‘unopened road allowance’ from any public traffic (i.e.

ATVs and the like) from County Road 9 north to Sideroad 9 & 10 Nottawasaga.

First, my property survey indicates that the so called ‘unopened road allowance’ that runs north/south along my property has likely been ceded to my property in lieu of the deviation road (i.e. Concession 8) when the deviation road was initially established.

Further, most properties along the socalled ‘unopened road allowance’ in question have long standing fences that run east/west across the ‘unopened road allowance’ in several places including my property. My property at purchase was completely and fully fenced including the ‘unopened road allowance’ and continues to be maintained. I have engaged legal council to research the disposition of the ‘unopened road allowance’ that is adjacent to my property. Litigation is

a very real possibility should council approve ATV travel on the ‘unopened road allowance’ to which I refer.

I would argue there is no need to consider allowing access to the lands in question because ATVs and the like use the existing Concession 8 deviation road regularly to get to trails and services.

Second, the terrain is very steep and fragile. The ‘unopened road allowance’ that runs along my property is subject to Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC) and Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) oversight. My property including the ‘unopened road allowance’ is some of the most protected land on the escarpment. There are endangered tree species on the ‘unopened road allowance’ and wetlands that must be protected. Giving access to ATVs, etc. to such a sensitive area of the escarpment makes no sense whatsoever.

I encourage Council to re-read the NEC Staff Report of Sept. 17, 2020 wherein its first recommendation says, the Commission “endorses the NEC Staff position that the recreational use of motorized-trails is not a Permitted Use within the Escarpment Natural Area or Escarpment Protection Area land use designation of the NEP (2017); and the

5

second recommendation directs staff to circulate the report to all municipalities within the Niagara Escarpment Plan area.” Even the NEC seems to agree with me.

Third, there is a pre-existing water feature (rural pond) fed by a year round spring that crosses the entire ‘unopened road allowance’. A 14-foot deep pond that is approximately 120 feet across extends from my property across the entire ‘unopened road allowance’, which makes journey impassible such that travel & trespass on private property is required to go north/south.

I don’t think it makes common sense to give approval to use the ‘unopened road allowance’ knowing that it is impassable due to the long standing existence of a deep rural pond.

I wish council nothing but the best, and I thank my councillor for doing the work to actually visit my property and understand my concerns first hand.

I am willing to give a personal tour to any councillor that intends to approve access to the ‘unopened road allowance’ that abuts my residence to see first hand the dilemma council will create if ATV access to the land in question is sanctioned.

Greg Ashbee, Dunedin.

Creemore got started in the tournament Friday night with a 14-2 win against the host West Mountain Cougars. Dylan Rayburn led the offense with two hits including an RBI double in the fifth inning. Paul Twiss tied the game in the third inning with an RBI triple and scored the go-ahead run.

Game 2 would be a closer contest when the team was matched up with the eventual runner-up North York Blues.

Creemore would win 9-4, but North York had the bases loaded with no outs in the second inning when Reece Fuller came in to pitch in relief and struck out three consecutive Blues to get out of the inning. Keenan Reynolds led the way at the plate with two hits including a three-run homer into the parking lot in right field.

Collingwood was the next opponent and the Cardinals quickly got out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning before winning

would be against the undefeated London West Tincaps. A 12-7 victory was the result with Drew Hamilton contributing two hits, two RBI and scoring twice.

Brayden Foulds started the semifinal game against the Milton Mets and was dominant over five innings, giving up just one run and striking out 12.

Hayden Goodfellow-Oster was threefor-three with a double, RBI and two

runs for the Cardinals who won 12-1.

The championship game was a rematch with the North York Blues who would need to defeat Creemore twice to win the double knockout format tournament. The Cardinals, however, would win the first game and claim the championship. Jack Hutchison reached base three times including a double and scored twice. Evan Wells started on the mound and threw four 2/3 innings allowing just one run, no walks with eight strikeouts. Cooper Duits would come in to pitch with two outs in the last inning and close out the game with a strikeout to complete the championship run. The Creemore 11U’s finished the season with a 46-3 record and were champions of six tournaments.

An outstanding season for a remarkable group of kids.

Dufferin Emergency support Fund supports four organizations

Four local organizations that have been helping some of Dufferin County’s most vulnerable residents through the pandemic received $13,000 in Dufferin Emergency Support Fund (DESF) grants this summer.

The grants, which were created by Dufferin Community Foundation in 2021, provide extra support during emergency periods like the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus this year was to help charities enhance their mental health and shelter/housing services.

“Although we’re seeing Dufferin begin to blossom again after two years of pandemic stresses, the charities in our community are still acutely aware that there are deeply rooted issues. At the top of the list, mental health and homelessness – often hidden from our view,” said MaryAnn Lowry, Chair of Dufferin Community Foundation’s Grants Committee.

This year’s DESF grants will support programs ranging from a mental health walk-in clinic to rent assistance for people with intellectual disabilities. The grants were made possible by the generosity of Enbridge Gas and donations from the community. The following are the programs that will be getting emergency support in 2022:

Choices Youth Shelter – $3,000 Four full-time youth workers (half of the permanent staff) at Choices Youth Shelter will be able to attend CAMH’s concurrent disorders core training this fall, thanks to the DESF grant. Currently, waitlists are long and there are not enough crisis beds in Dufferin County to provide immediate mental health and addictions support for youth. The concurrent disorders training will allow Choices staff to help youth right at the shelter, offering them holistic, wraparound care. The staff receiving the CAMH training will then share what they learn with their co-workers, so that the interventions can be practiced across the organization.

“This funding will give our frontline

Community Living Dufferin – $2,000

Community Living Dufferin is amongst four Dufferin Emergency Support Fund grant recipients. staff access to vital education and training to support youth with concurrent disorders. We are deeply grateful for this grant, which will further develop our professional skills. We know it will have a positive impact on interventions and will support our community’s safety and well-being,” said Erin Goodyear, the new executive director at Choices.

Dufferin Child & Family Services (DCAFS) – $5,000 As a fall-out from the pandemic, Dufferin Child and Family Services (DCAFS) is seeing a high degree of people feeling overwhelmed and experiencing anxiety about health, finances, education and other basic needs. There is a pressing demand for timely, in-person services that provide tangible support. Knowing that 66 per cent of clients benefit from one session – and then do not require longer or more intensive help – DCAFS is piloting the Mental Health Walk-in Intern Program. The DESF grant will allow youth to increase walk-in appointments by 12 hours/week and give out grounding items to each client. The knowledge that is gained through the pilot will help DCAFS expand the program.

“This DESF grant will greatly assist us to expand our mental health walk-in clinic and provide some great anxiety reducing and grounding tools that youth can leave their sessions with,” said Jennifer Moore, DCAFS executive

director. “We know the need for mental health supports has increased through the pandemic and we are truly grateful to have this opportunity to be even more responsive to the needs in our community.”

CMHA Peel Dufferin – $3,000 The social isolation experienced during the pandemic was particularly hard on older adults, especially if they had preexisting mental health conditions. Aging Well in Caledon Dufferin (AWICD – pronounced A-Wicked) is a collaboration of 29 organizations serving older adults, focused on their social, mental, physical and emotional health. Beginning this summer, the group will use its DESF grant to get out to community events and meet older adults who might be at risk.

Volunteers will educate seniors about the programs and services available to them.

“Our members will be setting up at various venues like farmers’ markets, fairs and community events to raise awareness, reduce stigma and encourage older adults to remain connected,” said Jennifer McCallum, AWICD member and manager of TeleCheck. “Research has shown that a healthy lifestyle can prevent the onset or worsening of physical and mental health conditions. With this in mind, we will be engaging with older adults and the community-at-large to promote resources and tools to help maintain an independent and healthy lifestyle.”

The demand for Community Living Dufferin staff to help people with intellectual disabilities do their shopping and banking and develop life skills – or just talk to break the isolation – has risen from an average of 2-3 hours/week to 5-8 hours/week over to the pandemic.

Their clients also struggle with not having enough money for food and rent, which has added to stress, anxiety and the need for mental health supports.

Through the LET Project, Community Living Dufferin will increase health and wellness visits by 20 per cent and offer their clients interest-free and forgivable loans to pay for food and housing.

“We are very grateful to Dufferin Community Foundation for the emergency grant. These additional monies will be very instrumental in assisting people living in our community during these difficult times when their employment is being interrupted by COVID, and when costs for food, housing and bills are also skyrocketing,” said Robert Bingham, executive director, Community Living Dufferin.

THANK YOU

WOW - what a party. It was great to be surrounded by family and friends as I celebrated my 50th birthday.

Thanks for coming. Thanks for the food, drinks, gifts and good time you brought. Thanks so much to Bill Hewitt who insisted I do nothing, to Gil and Brent for hosting, to Trina for the flash mob, confetti cannons and more, to Emily and the crew who pitched in to take care of food, to MK for the 70's vibe, to Gillian and the garden of beauties for the flowers and decor, to Keith for pumping up the jam, to Gia, Kinzey and Dori for being the best bartenders, and to all those that put up that blasted tent, swept the barn floor, moved tables and managed to clean everything up. If I did not mention you by name it is because I am not sure how you pitched in but know how much I appreciate your work. I am humbled by the effort you all went to to make the night so special. I would also like to thank my loveys - Paul, Lucas, Theo, Eli, Maja, Brittany, Chance, Ben, Zelma and Mirabel. You bring me such joy each and every day and your efforts for this celebration were so appreciated. OH and one more person - thanks to Dolly Parton for her performance. Seeing her on the New Farm stage was a dream come true. With gratitude and love, Sara Hershoff
