Van Staveren has lived locally for 33 years. He said he has always been engaged with local issues, he has served on the Clearview economic development committee in the past and has been involved in regional small business development efforts. He said he graduated from University of Guelph in 1984, having studied agriculture and business. He worked in banking before launching Stayner Rental in 1989.

He also noted that he is interested in addressing the community’s relationship with the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority. When asked why he is running for deputy mayor, as opposed to a ward seat, Van Staveren said, “You by Bonnie MacPherson Clearview Council voted to suspend rules of procedure at their August 11 meeting to hear a special report on concerns about the intersection of Centre Line and County Road 9. Acting Fire Chief Scott Davison told council that since June 27, Clearview Fire has responded to no fewer than eight accidents at the corner.Theintersection is the jurisdiction of Simcoe County but township staff have been instructed to work with counterparts at the county to see what can be done to improve safety. Dan Perreault, Deputy Director of Public Works, says it appears the county is preparing to paint stop blocks on the pavement. Councillors asked Perreault to inquire about street lights or perhaps flashing beacons atop the stop signs. The township has already added “stop ahead” signs on Centre Line Road but further improvements are up to the county. Council also heard a report from CAO John Ferguson about ATV enforcement. In the past year, there have been six infractions or complaints requiring a response from the bylaw department. These included driving over the end of someone’s driveway, driving on streets late at night and driving within township parks. A total of 20 complaints were forwarded to the OPP. Of those, only two resulted in charges being recommended.CouncillorConnie Leishman says the ATV users she encounters near her home are courteous and respectful – and not the boogeymen they were portrayed to be during a 2020 debate at Incouncil.commenting on the report, Councillor John Broderick , who endured heavy criticism for his support of allowing ATVs on township roads, said it appears ATVs are causing us less grief than automobiles. needed at Intersection

The Creemore Farmers’ Market was established in 1997 as a not for profit organization by individuals committed to supporting independent producers and encouraging the consumption of locally grown seasonal produce: Sandra Lackie, who made and sold jams, and baker Jean Brownfield According to a 1998 edition of The Creemore Echo , “The ladies received a lot of support from local producers. They proceeded with the first market on Labour Day [1997] and it was so successful they ran it until Thanksgiving.”Themarketwas established in the feed lot on Mill Street until the Station on the Green opened in 2002. Throughout the years the market has served as an incubator for many small businesses testing the waters, including The New Farm, Fiddlefoot, Affairs, Cut and Dried Flowers, and many youth vendors looking to gain experience and sales. The market remains a gathering place for the community where people can chat with producers andTheneighbours.nexttwo Saturdays, leading up to the anniversary celebration, the community is encouraged to come to the market to learn about various ways of participating through art, photography and film.

4 • THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, August 19, 2022 COMMUNITY THE WAY WE WERE
In 2020 and 2021, Simcoe Muskoka experienced a significant rise in opioid poisoning emergency department (ED) visits and deaths because of an increasingly toxic and unregulated drug supply. In 2021, there were over 800 ED visits for opioid poisonings among residents, which was approximately 25 per cent higher than what was observed the previous year. Also in 2021, there were 169 confirmed and probable opioid related deaths in Simcoe Muskoka, which were 25 per cent higher than in 2020 and nearly double the average from 2017-2019.
During the early 1800s William Millie an employee of the Bank of England was murdered at the bank while working after hours. His orphaned children William II and Eleanor became wards of a Mr. and Mrs. Williams, whose daughter was married to Rev Osler at Bond Head, Ontario. Rev Osler was a saddlebag preacher for the Anglican Ministry, who was instrumental in establishing the first church in Creemore.In1840 the Williams came from England to visit their daughter at Bond Head, bringing their young wards with them. On the voyage, they met Dixon Wilson and his sister Arabella. Dixon Wilson eventually married Eleanor and William II married Arabella Wilson. The long voyage probable by a sailing ship apparently became a romantic cruise. Guided by Rev Osler, William II secured the E1/2 Lot 6. Con 6 in Nottawasaga Township (on the 5th line south of Creemore). After he retired his son, William H. Millie III, took it over. He married Annie Blackburn (my aunt), they had a son Leon, and daughters Gladys and Olive. He farmed it until he became Treasurer of the Township of Nottawasaga in the mid 1930s and moved to Creemore. William Millie II died July 4, 1899. Dixon Wilson and Eleanor had six children, Elizabeth, Anne, George, Ellen, Mary, William, and James. William married Ellen Honeyford and had two children: Charles, who was killed in The First World War, and Nina. Nina Eleanor Wilson was born Dec. 30, 1893 and died in 1992. She was married to Capt. James John Eyles, Dartford, Kent, England. Capt. Eyles was born 1895 and served in the Canadian Army in The First World War. He and Nina Wilson were married, on Jan. 14, 1922, at Creemore. This marriage may not have lasted very long. Nina lived here all of her life, having many good friends including her relatives, Robyn and Alex Wilson, and the Millies. Those people say she was a lovely person with an upbeat personality, even though she was blind for the last several years of her life. She loved to paint and did paint this picture of the original CNR station in Creemore.
I would also like to thank Myrtle Carruthers and Robin Wilson for providing some of the historical info for the above.
The report, Simcoe Muskoka Opioid Strategy (SMOS): A Report on Actions (2018-2021), provides a review of the goals and actions completed as part of the multi-year SMOS Action Plan that was initiated in 2018. Highlights of the actions are presented based on SMOS’ five action pillars; prevention, treatment/ clinical practice, harm reduction, enforcement, and emergency management, and two foundational pillars; data and evaluation, and lived experience. The report also includes a scorecard and dashboard that demonstrates progress made over the course of implementing the SMOS Action Plan. “Although all activities from the SMOS Action Plan were completed, there is still significant progress to be made in furthering the work on the initial goals and activities and on new priority areas that have emerged since the development of the plan in 2018,” said Mia Brown, SMOS Steering Committee chair and manager of SMDHU’s substance use and injury prevention program. “The issues associated with substance use are complex and unfortunately, we have not seen a reduction in the rate of opioid-related harms.”
The SMOS steering committee is committed to working with community partners to develop a refreshed drug strategy for 2023 and beyond that will address several emerging trends and needs. Priorities for consideration include: Broadening the scope of the strategy to include all illicit substances; Exploration of starting safer opioid supply programs; Pursuing increased community access to Opioid Agonist Treatment; Continuing advocacy to decriminalize personal use and possession of illicit substances and enhanced health and social services to reduce the stigma and other harms of criminalization; Continuing to support the Barrie Consumption and Treatment Services (CTS) site application; and Continuing to pursue evidence-based initiatives for substance use prevention and mental health promotion throughout the life span. The final report is available at preventod.ca. by Gerry Blackburn
The Simcoe Muskoka Opioid Strategy (SMOS) Steering Committee has released a final report reflecting the results of a multi-year, region-wide action plan aimed at addressing the opioid crisis impacting the communities of Simcoe and Muskoka. SMOS is a large partnership of agencies, organizations and individuals working together to address opioidrelated harms in our communities.
It would be nice if a location could be found to display it in the present Station on the Green, accompanied by a brief copy of this history. The picture was given to me by my cousin Tricia Gidley (nee Clements), whose mother Olive was a daughter of W. H. Millie III. Tricia visited me on July 13 along with two other cousins Glad Bryce, and Susan Brockwell.

Burton makes surprise pitch for full-time mayor sentence
Leaving pets in vehicles comes with jail
by Bonnie MacPherson At a special Clearview Township council meeting convened to vote on compensation for the next term, Deputy Mayor Barry Burton tabled a surprise motion which would have declared the job of mayor full-time. Burton, who is not seeking reelection, told the August 11 meeting that both he and the current mayor work long hours in jobs that come with much responsibility and personal liability, for compensation that works out to less than minimum wage. Council was advised that the matter could not be dealt with as an amendment to the compensation motion as it actually involved changing the structure of council. Burton’s motion would have needed the support of a majority of councillors to suspend the rules of procedure and have it added to the Thatagenda.support was not forthcoming. Councillor Connie Leishman, who will also be retiring at the end of the current term, spoke in support of Burton’s motion. Councillor Thom Paterson sees some merit in the argument that in order to attract top talent, compensation should be increased. However, he says most people seeking a seat on council are not just looking for a job, there is a large dose of civic responsibility and a can be more involved at that level, as opposed to a councillor. I like the idea of representing everybody.” He said through his business, he knows many people in the whole of Clearview Township, and believes there are already some really good people running for council seats. “I’m all about Clearview,” he said. “I don’t have any real agenda but I do haveChuckconcerns.”Arrand retired in New Lowell after a 28-year military career. He and his wife Rose, who had also retired from the military, chose to settle in New Lowell after being posted to Base Borden. They have two grown sons, John and Jesse “We really fell in love with New Lowell, and in the ensuing time, Clearview Township,” he said. “And we’re here until the end.” Arrand grew up in Ottawa and decided to join the military rather than go to university. He worked in logistics, problem solving and ensuring missions were successful. “I thoroughly enjoyed my career,” said Arrand, adding that he served on Canadian bases cosst-to-coast but spent almost half of his time in Petawawa.Hesaid he has served his country and now he would like to serve his community.“Afteryears of moving around from place to place and never putting down roots, it felt really good to put down roots in Clearview,” said Arrand. Arrand was president of the New Lowell Legion for five years and as of June is now the E3 Zone commander, overseeing 12 branches. He said he is very interested in local issues and has served on the committee of adjustment for five years. He said increasing the tax base, moving things forward and increasing development have been important to him. “Really, truly I like to be involved,” saidHeArrand.saidhe chose to run for the deputy mayor seat because he has an interest in county council and there were already two capable candidates running in Ward 5. “I really do want to have some influence in ensuring that Clearview gets what they deserve out of the county portion of the budget,” said Arrand. “As deputy mayor, that gives me that voice.” To get in touch with any of the candidates, find their contact info at committees/election.www.clearview.ca/government-Inthepastweek, Laura DockerayPerry has filed to run in Clearview Ward 1. The addition means that there is a race in every ward. As of presstime, Mayor Doug Measures remains unchallenged. In Mulmur, Timothy Tranfananko, Daryl Stansfield and Barry Smith have added their names to the list of nominees for councillor. The 2022 municipal election will be held on Oct. 24. The nomination deadline is August 19 at 2 p.m. desire to give back. Mayor Doug Measures was flattered by the suggestion that his performance in the role is worthy of increased compensation but says he works long hours because he is keenly interested in the business of the township and has no expectation that it will be treated as a full-time job. With the motion off the table, council also voted no to Burton’s amendment which would have increased raises for the mayor and deputy mayor above the consultant’s recommendation. As a part of the budget approval package for 2022, council retained Marianne Love Consulting to conduct a compensation market review comparing data from 11 area municipalities chosen for similarities in size, geographic location and scope of services provided. The comparators are Penetanguishene, Tiny, Tay, OroMedonte, Midland, Wasaga Beach, Severn, Ramara, Essa, Springwater and the Blue Mountains. A similar review in 2018 established a target of the 60th percentile for salaries for Clearview Township elected officials. That means Clearview salaries would be higher than in 60 per cent of municipalities in the comparator group.The consultant’s recommendation, adopted by council calls for the mayor’s base pay to increase from $38,762 to $44,141 per year; deputy mayor base to increase from $29,496 to $30,909; and councillor pay to rise from $22,270 to $26,675. The next council will have five ward representatives down from the current seven so the overall impact on the 2023 budget will be an increase of Economic$28,817. adjustments will be made to the base pay rates in each year of the upcoming term in line with the adjustments for non-union and management staff of the township. The rate for travel reimbursement will increase from $0.53 per kilometre to $0.61.Council voted to approve the changes recommended in the consultant’s report. The increases will take effect following this fall’s municipal election with the next review slated for the final year of the next term. Police are reminding pet owners to never leave animals unattended in vehicles. Officers were called to respond on three occasions between August 12 and 15 to reports of animals that had been left unattended. In total four dogs had been left in vehicles during very hot temperatures.Policesay, when the sun comes in the windshield of a parked car that is not running, the interior of the car absorbs the heat. These same surfaces in return give off the heat, which is unable to escape, especially when the windows are closed. When animals are left inside, their breath also adds humidity to the vehicle, which increases their core temperature and leaves them unable to cool down by panting alone. Studies show that in temperatures of 30C, after 20 minutes the interior of a car can reach 46C. At this temperature the cells start to break down.

9U Playoff recap
Historic baseball series captures Nottawa author's heart
by Matthew Martin The 9U Cardinals played their first round playoff game against Wasaga Beach. The excitement of the playoffs seemed to be all the players needed to have one of their best of the year. The bats were really alive as Creemore had their highest scoring outing of the season. A 22-9 victory sent the Cardinals off to the second round. Players of the game were Noah, Theo, and Adair who all went an amazing 5/5 at the plate! Creemore faced the top seeded Angus Avengers for their second round game. A really hard fought outing but Angus was on their game. A 13-7 loss was the result, although the players did great and, as always, had a lot of fun. Brett, Si, and Christien were awesome with the bat, going 3/3 and getting players of the Finalgame.game of the playoffs was a by Trina Berlo Nottawa resident Doug Fox has channeled his love of baseball into his first book, On Account of Darkness: The Summer Ontario Baseball Broke the Colour Barrier A lifelong baseball fan and player, Fox said he could often be found in the stands watching his home team rounding the bases, and playing in the minor leagues which developed into a love of grassroots baseball that is still goingFoxstrong.became enthralled with the story of a 1934 historic baseball series when The Ontario Baseball Association allowed a team of black players to compete in the provincial playdowns. The team of black players were from Chatham and they played Penetanguishene in the intermediate finals that year. “That really brought it home to me because I grew up in Midland and so several times a year I would play in the Penetang arena and there was this big old black and white photo of an old ball player,” said Fox. He came to learn that man was Phil Marchildon, who played major league baseball at a time when Canadian players were almost unheard of in the league.Aretired elementary school teacher and sports journalist, Fox began researching the story in earnest about three years ago. The end result is a fictionalized story reconstructed through first hand accounts and newspaper archives. One of the players’ moms kept a scrap book of articles printed in the local newspaper and was later published by two University of Windsor professors as an educational tool to promote awareness and understanding of the team.“I found lots of stories that had largely been forgotten from that era so it was a lot of fun to bring them back to life,” said Fox. He said he wanted to reconstruct the story for both teams so he opted to tell the story through two narrators – both real life reporters covering the story for their respective towns – Jack Calder, reporting for the Chatham Daily News and Marvyn Dickey reporting for the Penetang Weekly Herald as they follow star players Phil Marchildon, who played for Penetang and Bloomer Harding who played for Chatham. “I wanted to address the racism angle that was inherent in Ontario at that time, and still is in Ontario today,” saidTheFox.series went late into the season so it captured the attention of baseball fans around the province but Fox says his research has indicated that no one thought about the series as progressive, or history-in-the-making. He said even Marchildon glossed over it in his biography, making note that the race of his opponents was not a main part of the story. “I think it has gained importance over time because it happened 13 years before Major League Baseball broke the colour barrier,” said Fox. “So I think its fame has only grown overThetime.”story builds throughout the book to the final series played in Guelph in late November which was tense for many reasons, including possible underlying racism. The game was tied after 10 innings. Chatham took the lead in the top of the 11th and then Penetang came to bat, trailing by a run in the bottom of the 11th with one man out and the umpires called the game “on account of Accordingdarkness.” to the rules of the day, the game would have to be played again the next Chathamday.felt it was assured a win and it had been stollen from them, being only two outs away from victory. Tempers flared and accusations of racism were Accountsmade.ofthe day say that Marchildon, Penetang’s only pitcher, suffered from fatigue the next day and Chatham pounded them. “The win for Chatham was very big in their community, because I think it helped gain acceptance for the black community,” said Fox. The Chatham coach followed the win with a famous speech about ending discrimination and Boomer Harding became Chatham’s first black postman, and later became the first black player in the International Hockey League. Fox said, as a white man, he wrestled with writing a book about race and discrimination but decided not to shy away from talking about the larger issue of racism locally. Fox will be giving a book talk at the Penetanguishene Centennial Museum at 2 p.m. on August 31. He will also be appearing at the Literacy Day Celebration at the Collingwood Public Library on Sept. 8, when he will be giving a brief talk. The book will be sold for $20 at both events and is also available online. Fox writes about the Blue Jays farm system at futurebluejays.com big game against Everett in the final tournament. Creemore came so close but a loss in extra innings was the end of an amazing year for an amazing group of kids. Special thanks to Gavin and Nixon from the 8U New Lowell Knights for filling in on a short handed Creemore squad. Players of the game were Griffin, Adair and Gavin. What a fun year it was for this group of kids. A young team that other coaches described as unrecognizable from the start of the year. All the parents and coaches were amazed at their eagerness to play and improve. Join us three Saturdays in September (Sept. 10, 17 and 24) for your child’s chance to try out baseball for the 2023 season! Both T-Ball and Rookies will have time to play: 9 a.m. for T-Ball (under 6) and 10 a.m. for Rookie (9 and under).

FRED’S FUNNIES What did the limestone say to the geologist? Don’t take me for granite.
Township CAO John Ferguson has been authorized to register collateral charges against development lands to ensure the township has security and allow the work to proceed this fall. 'lame duck' council
More news and events Creemore.comat
by Bonnie MacPherson Clearview council voted on a number of items in anticipation of a pending “lame duck” situation. The Ontario Municipal Act prohibits council from approving any items more than $50,000 over the original budget once the nomination deadline for a new council has passed. This could potentially force delays in several key projects. Mike Rawn, Director of Public Works asked council to increase the budget for the Creemore Waste Water Master Servicing Plan to $351,000. There is an agreement in principle from the development community to fund the cost of the study, but the township will have to do the work first and then invoice developers. Without the amendment to approve the increased spending before the nomination deadline, the work could be put on Councilhold.also voted to increase the budget for an extension to the Phillips Street sewer main in Stayner so that tenders could be called this fall.
Original plans called for the sewer and watermains to be brought to the centre of Highway 26 with portions of the road excavated during construction. Traffic disruption was so extreme during the first phase of the operation that the Ministry of Transportation ordered a change to a “jack and sleeve” construction method. The anticipated cost has risen from approximately $2,600,000 to $3,150,000. Meanwhile, costs for a wastewater servicing plan for south east Stayner have increased by roughly 10 per cent to $1,157,000. Developers earlier offered to increase their contribution by $10,000 per development lot thus reducing the cost for existing property owners on Sunnidale Street.
