Coyotes puck-drop Saturday

The purple hills have turned orange. Experts say low temperatures, but little frost, combined with sufficient rainfall deserves the credit for the extra vibrant fall colours this year. More photos on page 12.

Arena roof repairs scaled back due to cost

by Trina Berlo Clearview Township is scaling back roof repairs at the Creemore arena due to higher than anticipated costs.

Council had approved $100,000 for roof repairs at each arena during budget deliberations but the lowest quote came in at $307,000. Due to the lame duck period imposed by the municipal election rules, a higher amount of spending cannot be approved at this time.

“Unfortunately we’re still living in that world of increased costs

for supplies and labour. The costs came in a little bit higher than we anticipated a year ago,” recreation director Terry Vachon told council members on Oct. 3.

As a result council has approved $130,000 for the Stayner arena and $70,000 for Creemore to address the worst areas, accepting the lowest of seven quotes by Proteck Roofing & Sheet Metal.

A thermal scan of the roofs revealed “bad spots” over the office at the Stayner arena and over the

dressing rooms at the Creemore arena, with compromised sections that are saturated and heavily leaking.

Council has approved scaling back the Creemore Arena roofing to only include the area over the dressing room section.

The department will be recommending to council to complete the balance of the Creemore Arena roof as part of the 2023 budget, to be completed in the spring.

The work is expected to be done by mid to late November.

Partners launch accessible transit service Three local municipalities are partnering in a new specialized transit service to provide accessible services in Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, and Stayner.

The new service, TransitPLUS,

will be a door-to-door service serving residents requiring accessible service.

The new service is expected to begin in Stayner and Wasaga Beach next month, with Collingwood following in mid December. In Collingwood, the

service will replace the current Red Cross service, and the town subsidized portion of cab services.

Riders will be required to register by calling Landmark Bus at 705-446(See “Registration” on page 3)

The Creemore Coyotes will welcome special guests, newcomers from Ukraine, for the ceremonial puckdrop at their home opener Saturday.

The evening will be dedicated to fundraising for Ukrainian families forced to leave their war-torn home, including proceeds from a portion of ticket sales. Other worthy causes will be supported through the United Church’s mason jar donation program.

The Coyotes will be playing the Shelburne Muskies in their first home game of the season, coming off a 3-0 win against Lucknow Lancers.

Fanfare will include free T-shirts launched into the crowd, a draw for Howies hockey goodie bag, shoot the puck challenges for youth with the first prize being a bicycle, and a minor hockey player has been invited to act as flag bearer.

Join fellow fans in the booster club in the arena hall.

Game admission costs $10 for adults, and $8 for seniors. Season passes are available for $85 ($65 for seniors).

Family season passes (including two children) are available at $225.

For a full game schedule and scores, visit creemorecoyotes.com.

The puck drop is at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22.

Fill-a-bag fundraiser Local parents are organizing a fundraiser for phonics and literacy materials for the local school.

They are looking for donations of adult and children’s clothing, toys and games.

Donations can be dropped off at Station on the Green in Creemore after 6 p.m. on Nov. 18. To make a donation ahead of time, call Vickie at 705-4416386 or Beth at 905-717-6123.

The East Nottawasaga Presbyterian Church located on Fairgrounds Road South, was dismantled last month due to its deteriorating condition as a result of being largely unused and unserviced for four decades.

Second country church demolished

by Trina Berlo A second area pioneer-era church has been demolished due to building safety concerns.

The East Nottawasaga Presbyterian Church located on Fairgrounds Road South, was dismantled last month. The decision by the Presbytery of Barrie was made because of liability due to its poor condition and lack of use.

The West Nottawasaga Presbyterian Church near Nottawa was dismantled in the summer, also due to safety concerns.

Rev. Darren May said the back wall of the Fairgrounds Road church was buckling, bricks were continually falling off, and it was a safety concern for anyone visiting the cemetery.

“We fully agree that it was a sad decision. It was a very painful decision for us,” said May, adding that there are members of the original families of the East Nottawasaga Presbyterian Church congregation worshipping at Jubilee Presbyterian Church in Stayner, where he is minister.

The church had no hydro or plumbing and it hadn’t been used for 40 years, with the exception of an annual service that had dwindling attendance.

May said the poor condition of the building was

the reason officials opted out of having an open house prior to demolition, like the one held at the West Nottawasaga Presbyterian Church.

May said there was some discussion about selling the church but a deal wasn’t reached, and that the possibility of selling the church for private use was further complicated by the proximity of the surrounding cemetery on three sides of the building, making it difficult to service. Other attempts to seek historical designation proved unsuccessful and too costly.

“The reality is that upon demolition, the demolition company said it was in much worse shape than we actually thought it was,” said May. He said the old churches were built at a time when people travelled by horse and buggy and couldn’t go very far.

“We’re beyond that in our culture where other people are driving past other churches to go to churches they want to attend,” said May. “Church attendance is down and Covid has made that much worse so in today’s culture it didn’t make sense to keep a building, that was so badly depleted, standing.”

He said there are plans to erect a monument at the site of the church.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Please, just vote In recent elections voter turnout has been on the decline in Clearview Township, and across the County of Simcoe.

Voter turnout in Clearview was 38.98 per cent in 2018, down from 41.8 per cent in 2014, and 45.15 per cent in 2010.

To fuel the apathy, this time around we have acclaimed mayors in both Clearview and Mulmur, and we are not alone. According to the CBC, one in three candidates running for mayor or reeve in Ontario have been acclaimed.

We have always believed that without a contest for mayor, there is a further decline in voter engagement. However, we do have a contest for deputy mayor in both Mulmur and Clearview so hopefully that has piqued the interest of voters, and motivated them to cast a ballot.

In recent weeks we have endeavoured to introduce readers to local candidates by publishing bios, photos, Q&As, and covering candidate meetings. (We also dedicated a bit of space to trustees running to represent area public schools, including Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School. The trustee election does not get the attention it deserves given that the Simcoe County District School Board controls a budget five times larger than Clearview’s.) Note: all the material is available online at creemore.com.

Election Day is Monday, Oct. 24. Eligible voters have until 8 p.m. to vote online (and also by phone in Mulmur).

All the information needed to cast a vote is included in the voter letters sent out by the municipalities, including the web address, voter ID and PIN. By now, we hope that you will have read about the candidates, attended a meeting to hear from them yourself, or at the very least talked with others to learn who’s who.

And if you haven’t voted already, now is the time to make that final decision and switch on the computer. It takes less than a minute to cast the ballot.

For those needing assistance, head to town hall to access Internet Voting Help Centres (Clearview’s will be open on Monday, Oct. 24 from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.) or take your voter letter to the library to access a public computer.

We can’t continue to let voter engagement slip.

The lower tier election may not seem that exciting but municipal council actually control the things we really care about at the local level, including roads, recreation facilities, and taxes. And, mayors and deputy mayors sit on county council, which makes decisions about waste management, social housing and transportation.

So please, go vote. No matter what the result, we can say we participated.

Low-cost clinics help pet owners do their part to prevent rabies The annual series of low-cost rabies clinics continues across Simcoe County until Oct. 29. The clinics provide an affordable way to get rabies shots for dogs and cats over three months old. You can find the dates and locations most convenient for you at smdhu.org/ rabiesclinics.

Rabies is a fatal disease that can spread to humans through the bites or scratches of an infected animal.

In 2021, health unit staff investigated 1,603 animal exposure incidents. Many of the investigations resulted in rabies vaccine for people as a precaution.

The good news is that rabies is preventable, and the

EDITOR Trina Berlo

trina@creemore.com

best way to protect yourself and your family is to have your pets vaccinated and avoid contact with wild or stray animals. Even indoor pets need the vaccine for protection against rabies. Vaccinating your pet is not just a way to keep them healthy - it’s the law in Ontario.

Low-cost rabies clinics are offered annually by local veterinarians who generously give their time to participate in the program and operate the clinics. For more information about animal exposures and rabies or to find a clinic near you, visit smdhu.org/rabiesclinics or call Health Connection at 705-721-7520 or 1-877721-7520 weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Creemore Echo is published every Friday and distributed free locally.

Editorial and advertising material deadline is Tuesday at 5 p.m.

LETTER

Church went down without warning Editor: (Re: The recently demolished East Nottawasaga Presbyterian Church on Fairgrounds Road South.)

I am not in the habit of praying, unlike the pioneers who built their little church on the rise on the 4th Line overlooking Georgian Bay, back there in 1854.

They pried the rocks from the hard land to build the solid stone foundation. They axed the square posts and beams from the old forest as they cleared their fields. Later, they finished the exterior with red sand bricks hauled from brickworks nearby.

They came each Sunday, rested their horses in the red carriage shed across the road. They buried their dead, some born in Scotland in the late 1700s, some died in their arms; babies who did not survive harsh winters. The markers are there. Their names fading along with the messages of love etched in the stone.

The church recently asked for a permit to take the church down. The permit was granted by the Clearview Township Building Department in mere days. Days! The church went down without warning.

Perhaps I have no right to an opinion, even though I consider these early settlers, who built my farmhouse and tilled the land, to be my former neighbours at Sweetwater Farm for the 20 years I had the privilege of living there.

Funds were raised and the gardens were kept up and families visited their parted ones under the shadow of that beautiful pioneer church.

We are told, “The church is not in the business of maintaining museums...” (CollingwoodToday.ca

Detail of a painting by Christopher Roberts Sept. 27).

Sadly I say, the church has just lost one more soul with this brutal demolition of our history.

Shawn Bell brews batches of his Doc Bells Hot Sauce in the commercial kitchen at Station on the Green Wednesday.

Doc Bell brings the heat to The Royal

by Trina Berlo Shawn Bell can take the heat and has no plans to get out of the kitchen.

The creator of Doc Bells Hot Sauce, got his start at the Creemore Farmers’ Market this spring and upon receiving a very positive reception from customers, he has taken the step of entering his product in The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.

Bell said he launched his line of hot sauces at this year’s Easter market and sold 41 bottles on the first day. He was so encouraged by the response that he ended up taking a booth for the full market season, and getting a booth at the market in Wasaga Beach, where he lives.

Bell is entering seven sauces in four categories: All Thai’d Up and Chipotle (See “Doc” on page 9)

Real Farms Don’t Sell Tickets An industrial-scale lavender-themed farm is being proposed just west of Creemore. Its purpose is to sell tickets, meaning thousands of additional cars on our community’s roads and agricultural disruptions.

Tell your local councillor that you oppose your tax dollars supporting this attraction.

Doc Bells doesn't compromise taste for heat (Continued from page 7) Garlic are in the mild category; Sweet Heat and Dragon’s Kiss are in the medium category; Ghostly Fever and Tribute to Trinidad are in the hot category; and Unfriendly Ghost is extra hot.

The limited availability of some peppers means some sauces can only be made seasonally.

“It’s hard to find devil’s tongue and white ghost at any greenhouse anywhere so you have to grow them yourself, which is what I do,” said Bell.

He grows his own peppers in his home greenhouse, and sources them from a farm that grows more than 40 varieties of peppers.

“I have a lot of fun making hot sauces and sometimes I come across peppers that I wasn’t supposed to have and I end up making new sauces,” said Bell, who has made about 20 different hot sauces this year.

“And they all taste different, which is good. I’ve seen a lot of companies that come out with small batch sauces but they may only have two types and they are both blazingly hot,” said Bell.

Complementing the hot peppers with citrus, fruit, and sweet peppers, he prides himself on making products that have good flavour, not just heat.

Bell said it all started almost two decades ago when he was working with a Trinidadian man who served him a hot sauce one day at lunch that was incredibly hot, but he loved the flavour so he started working on his own recipe, trying to adapt it for the North American palette.

Doc Bells Hot Sauces have playful names and creative labels.

Over two years he developed his original Sweet Heat sauce, and has been making it the same way ever since.

“That inspired a whole philosophy on sauces, because the market back then wasn’t saturated with ridiculously hot sauces, or ones that don’t taste very good,” said Bell.

He was encouraged by friends and family to sell his sauces, so over the years Bell has starred growing and smoking his own peppers, and has commissioned creative labels depicting the playful names of the sauces inspired by the peppers and spices used in the recipe.

When the market sent out a communication to its

vendors saying they would support anyone who wanted to enter a product in the Royal Winter Fair, Bell said he was intrigued because he has fond memories of going there with his late father.

The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair at Exhibition Place in Toronto runs from Nov. 4-13 and includes a wide variety of agricultural shows, including livestock and food. The pickling and hot sauce competition is on Oct. 26.

Doc Bells Hot Sauce is available the next two remaining Saturdays of the Creemore Farmers’ Market on Oct. 22 and 29, or find them on Facebook.

Health unit offers breastfeeding support to parents

October began with National Breastfeeding Week in Canada, an annual celebration observed from Oct. 1-7 with an aim to raise awareness and celebrate the key role breastfeeding plays in the healthy growth and development of infants and young children.

This year’s theme is “Step Up For Breastfeeding – Educate and Support.”

The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit reminds the community that breastfeeding provides all the nutrients a baby needs for the first six months of their life and is recommended for two years and beyond by Health Canada,

Public Health Agency of Canada, and the Canadian Paediatric Society.

Every year communities in Simcoe Muskoka welcome over 5,000 new babies! Having a new baby is exciting and it is normal for new parents to need support and information about breastfeeding, sleep, baby care, parenting and normal growth and development. Family members and friends play an important role in supporting the breastfeeding needs of parents with a new infant. In addition, businesses and workplaces can play a role by making public spaces comfortable and supportive of breastfeeding. Along with this broad community support, professional supports are also available.

Anyone who has questions can connect with a public health nurse at the health unit’s Health Connection line, Monday to Friday from 8:30
