Van Staveren, McArthur win election

by Trina Berlo Robert McArthur will be the new council representative for Creemore and area.

The Cashtown Corners resident won the Ward 2 seat over Thom Paterson with a 618-411 vote.

“I sense from the reaction of people in Ward 2 that there was a change necessary and I was willing to put forth my name to represent the people,” said McArthur, who was amongst the candidates gathered at the Stayner Arena Monday evening to see the results tabulated. “I’m just so overwhelmed for the support.”

He told reporters that he aims to be part of a council that gets “back to basics” has “a common sense state of mind.”

'Agricultural sector is clearly being represented': Mayor (Continued from page 1) “We need to expand, and we have to expand our infrastructure to accommodate that, and the snowball just rolls and rolls and rolls,” said McArthur.

He said the ward boundary change gives it more of an agricultural influence, garnering support for his campaign from the farming community.

“That has probably played into the results we got tonight,” said McArthur. “I just thank everybody for the overwhelming support.”

Paterson, who has served four terms on Clearview council, said of the result, “The election results demonstrated clearly what issues mattered most to voters.”

Paul Van Staveren won the position of deputy mayor with 2,402 votes, over Deborah Bronée’s 1,157 votes and Chuck Arrand’s 474.

“It was a good election. We had a lot of good people running and it was nice to see what the people wanted. There are changes and it looks like we are going to have a cohesive council,” said Van Staveren.

“It looks like a good bunch of people who can work together. It’s something to look forward to, and it’s a new chapter for me.”

Van Staveren won with almost 60 per cent of the vote.

When asked what he thinks contributed to the strong result he said he expects it is due to the length of time he has lived in the community, his business experience and the fact that he will have time to dedicate to the job given that he is retiring in December from Stayner Rental (now Cooper), having sold the business.

“We’ll see what happens, that’s all we can do,” said Van Staveren. “It’s going to be fun.”

Mayor Doug Measures, who was acclaimed to a second term, said he is grateful to all the candidates who put their names forward, and for a respectful campaign.

“I believe we have a good council with some sage, experienced people, and some new people who are going to bring some energy,” he said.

“The agricultural sector is clearly being represented on our council with our deputy mayor and councillor for Ward 2 so that’ll be a real plus, I believe, for the community,” said Measures. “I look forward to engaging with each of these councillors and building a new team.”

When the new council is inaugurated in December, it will include returning members Phyllis Dineen

(Ward 1), John Broderick (Ward 3), and Robert Walker (Ward 4), along with newcomer Marty Beelen, who will represent Ward 5.

Voting was extended one hour on Oct. 24 due to a technical glitch. At about 6 p.m., the voting system experienced technical difficulties causing access issues, and resulted in voting being extended in Clearview and Collingwood.

“We are aware that Datafix experienced a service interruption for a very brief period of time during the online voting on the evening of Oct. 24 however, [it] was fully operational for over an hour prior to the close of the election,” said officials at Clearview Township. “We will be receiving additional information regarding the temporary service impact through our election vendors and fellow impacted

municipalities for a post-election debrief. This will be helpful in further understanding the issues and ensure appropriate processes are in place to eliminate this inconvenience for future elections.”

THE WAY WE WERE

Local COVID-19 community risk level moves from moderate to high The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU) has moved the region’s current overall COVID-19 Community Risk Level from moderate to high as the virus continues to circulate within the community.

This is the first time the risk level has increased since it was launched in September 2022.

“We are seeing a higher level of COVID-19 transmission in Simcoe Muskoka, which means there is a greater risk of getting sick with potential for severe illness,” said Dr. Charles Gardner, SMDHU’s medical officer of health. “We encourage individuals to use more layers of protection when out in public, such as increasing frequency of mask use and maintaining physical distance indoors. Getting your bivalent COVID-19 vaccine booster is also strongly recommended as an added layer to protect against severe illness, and it is available across Simcoe Muskoka.”

The COVID-19 Community Risk Level, available on SMDHU’s website, is based on five indicators (local per cent positivity of PCR tests, confirmed cases, hospitalizations, institutional outbreaks, and wastewater signals) that are monitored weekly.

Together, these indicators make up the current overall COVID-19 risk level in our community as one of the following levels: lower (caution), moderate, high, or very high. Each risk level is explained, and information is provided about personal and situational risks that individuals should consider and what actions they can take to protect themselves and others from spreading and getting severely ill from COVID-19. The more precautions a person takes the better the protection for themselves and others. These actions include: • Staying up to date with all recommended COVID-19 vaccinations.

• Staying home when sick with any symptoms of COVID-19.

• Wearing a face mask when required and consider wearing a face mask in public based on your personal situation.

The COVID-19 Community Risk Level is updated each Thursday by 2 p.m. Residents are reminded to visit smdhu.org for weekly risk level updates, and to learn more about local COVID-19 transmission and ways to be COVID-safe.

For information about where to get your COVID-19 vaccination, including pop-up and GO VAXX bus clinic schedules, please visit our COVID-19 pages at smdhu.org/getvaccinated.

Creemore Community Bulb Planting Day a huge success Thank you to all who came out and supported the Creemore Horticultural Society in planting a raft of springtime bulbs in the Creemore Village Green to ensure a beautiful welcome to visitors next May/June.

The village was treated to glorious weather on Saturday, Oct. 22, when 11 volunteers from the Creemore Horticultural Society, (CHS), along with another 30 or so from the Creemore community and surrounding areas, descended on the Village Green with shovels in hand. By 2 p.m. it was all over; 153 holes dug, 1,600 bulbs nestled in the ground!

Parents with children (the youngest bulb planter was just three years old), young couples, experienced gardeners and novices alike, all gathered at the Village Green to survey the array of bulbs to be planted. There were stately Darwin tulips, extravagant, multi ruffled Parrot tulips, dramatic narcissus of many varieties, pollinator friendly alliums with their big seed heads, interesting fritillarea and subtle autumn crocus.

The volunteers explained the process, people chose bulbs, dug holes, added fertilizer, covered the bulbs with soil and watered them in. All six gardens were a hive of activity. After the dust settled, the gardens were treated to a layer of chicken manure in the hope that this will deter the squirrels from digging! Now

More shrubs and perennials will be added to the gardens amongst these spring blooms next May. The CHS volunteers will then shift our attention from tending the plants in the temporary beds behind the Library, to maintaining the new gardens in the Village Green.

Hawkins victorious in Mulmur's deputy mayoral race

by Trina Berlo In Mulmur Township, Earl Hawkins was able to defend his position as deputy mayor with a 708-597 win over Shirley Boxem.

Hawkins was at town hall Monday night to see the municipal election results roll in.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve this coming term,” Hawkins told The Echo. “I am grateful to all the people who supported me… I had a few staunch supporters who definitely helped me out.”

He said he worked really hard on the election trail, attempting to speak to as many voters as possible.

In the coming term, Hawkins said access to rural broadband internet continues to be a priority issue and he will work on infilling of areas left unserviced by the current installation.

Taking the three council seats will be Patty Clark, the incumbent received 877 votes, Andrew Cunningham, who

Mulmur Township election results: Deputy Mayor Earl Hawkins, 708 Shirley Boxem, 597 Councillor Patty Clark, 877 Andrew Cunningham, 854 Kim Lyon, 592 Daryl Stansfield, 524 Timothy Trafananko, 155 Barry Smith, 114 Voter Turnout: 36.1 per cent got 854 votes, and Kim Lyon, with 592 votes.

Mayor Janet Horner, who was acclaimed, said she considered the last council to be a dream team and expects no less in the coming term.

She said she sees a lot of strengths in the new council.

“When I look at who’s going to be at the table, we’re going to have some very strong voices to be careful about tax increases, and perhaps putting some things off as we face what is going to be an inflationary period here,” said Horner, adding as prices increase she thinks the right people will be at the table to balance spending.

She said she is also pleased to see Clark and Cunningham returned, and said she will miss Boxem for her environmental focus.

“I’m pleased. I would have been happy with some other outcomes too but this one is just great,” said Horner. “I had a dream team last term and I’m going to make sure that this one is a dream team too. That’s my job,” she said, with a laugh.

Voter turnout in Mulmur was 36 per

cent, down from 2018, like in most municipalities across Ontario.

In response Horner is asking, “how do we engage and get people excited, or interested even…, in voting? It’s kind of a sad reflection on people taking that responsibility seriously.”

She said, upon reflection, a lack of a controversial issue and no race for mayor could contribute to lower voter turnout.

“I don’t know how we get people reengaged,” said Horner.

On the other hand, she said, subscription to Mulmur’s monthly newsletter has doubled during the last term of council, now going out to almost 900 people by email.

“We’re trying to keep people more informed of what’s going on at the council table but that doesn’t mean we’re doing a perfect job and getting people interested and wanting to vote either,” she said.

• THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, October 28, 2022

MoD presents 'Architecture in Harmony with Nature' On Saturday, Nov. 12, the Museum of Dufferin will open its newest exhibition, Architecture in Harmony with Nature, featuring a selection of projects from award-winning Czech architect Martin Rajniš.

Incorporating historic images from the Museum of Dufferin’s Archival Collection, the exhibition explores how modern architecture and traditional construction materials can work together to be in harmony with nature.

Rajniš, the well-known Czech architect and the leading figure behind a small architecture firm Hut Architecktury Martin Rajniš (HAMR), which translates to Guild of Architecture, has won many awards throughout his career, including the Global Award for Sustainable

Architecture in 2014.

In 1995, Rajniš and his team began studying, exploring, and testing new ways to use wood in construction.

Wood is relatively inexpensive, flexible, and easy to size and connect.

Combined with steel details, glass, and modern digital technology, Rajniš and his team create buildings that refer to “natural architecture.”

“If we seek a common speech with all people on the planet, if we want contemporary architecture to be accessible and communicable to all, the logical point of departure is based on the principles of nature,” Martin said. “Natural architecture is not the one that is romantic in style or mimicking free forms observed in the natural world but the one that is respecting laws of nature.”

217 Gideon Street, Stayner, ON L0M 1S0 Telephone: 705 428-6230 | www.clearview.ca Hours: Monday to Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm Communications are available in alternative formats upon request.

Wooden structures can last for 100 or more years, making wood a popular choice of building material both historically and today.

“We believe this exhibition will be very interesting for people who are environmentally conscious and also inspirational for all residents living in the rural areas,” said show organizer Jan Benda, a fellow Czech architect and friend. “It may be appealing to builders, carpenters, structural engineers and other professionals who wants to meet present environmental challenges. This wood construction technology may influence the way we are using and perceiving wood. It may also shift our expectations how individual houses, barns or public buildings should look like. Whole countryside may eventually change
