School review could secure SCI's future
by Trina Berlo
A process that could determine the
fate of Stayner’s high school began
this week.
An eight-member committee will
look for solutions to “accommodation
pressures” on three Stayner schools,
specifically issues with the building
at Byng Public School, while also
addressing low enrollment at Stayner
Collegiate Institute (SCI).
Byng, built in 1922, has failing
mechanical, electrical and structural
systems, according to the Simcoe
County District School board staff.
It has minimum life safety systems
that do not meet the requirements of
the current code, the school is not
accessible and significant lighting
replacements are needed.
The committee is made up of two
parent guardians from each school
included in the review and two students
from the high school, appointed
by parent and student councils.
It is a scaled down and streamlined
committee compared to the 38-member
committee that set out in 2009 to
determine the fate of five area high
schools, including SCI. This committee
is following new policy set out by the
Ministry of Education.
As a first step, the committee was

Structural deficiencies at Byng Public School and declining enrollment at

that could result in SCI becoming a Grade 7-12 school.
given a binder of documents containing
the information and statistics that
would help inform a recommendation.
School board staff have put forward
three options but the ARC is tasked
with taking input from the community
and putting forward a recommendation
of its own, either in support of one
of the staff options or something
completely different. The trustees,
the elected board representatives, will
then make a final decision, which goes
to the Ministry of Education for final
approval.
The option preferred by staff –
option C – is to close Byng, and have
all students in Grades JK-6 attend
Clearview Meadows Elementary
School and make SCI into a school for

ATV club seeking road access
by Trina Berlo
The Central Ontario ATV Club is
seeking permission to use Clearview
Township roads to access trails and
commercial areas.
Club director Soren Klemmensen
made the request of council at its Jan.
25 meeting.
The club is hoping the township will
pass a bylaw to open the roads, allowing
ATVs to travel from trail to trail and
get into urban areas to purchase fuel,
visit restaurants and stores and find
overnight accommodation.
The club is looking to develop
a network of trails that will attract
tourists to the area.
“We want to make sure we are
building something that benefits the
townships we pass through,” said
Klemmensen.
Wasaga Beach opened its roads to
ATVs in September and Klemmensen
said opening Clearview is key to
connecting already developed trail
nodes.
With permission from a municipality,
ATVs are permitted to travel on the
shoulder, or on the side of the road
where there isn’t one. The speed limit is
20 km/h in a regularly posted 50 km/h
zone and a maximum speed of 50 km/h
elsewhere.
Klemmensen said members consider
themselves stewards of the trails and
their role is to monitor, educate and
report. The club has just under 300
members who purchase an annual $150
trail permit. Much like the Ontario
Federation of Snowmobiles, trails are
established through agreements with
landowners.
Councillors agreed to explore
the possibility of allowing ATVs
on certain roads, as a starting point.
Klemmensen said the club is ready to
get into discussions about specific trail

Vote for new BIA slogan
The BIA is asking people to vote for
their favourite slogan submitted during
a recent contest.
The nominees are: The gateway to
Georgian Bay; Your journey begins
in Creemore; Create your story in
Creemore; A village you’ll love for life;
So much more than great beer.
In August, the BIA launched a
contest asking people to submit slogans
that define Creemore’s character.
The winning slogan will be posted
on the BIA’s existing billboards on
Airport Road, one at the 6/7 Sideroad
and one at County Road 21.
Organizers received many
submissions and the top 5 have been
selected for an online vote. Find the
link to the ballot at Creemore.com.
Those unable to vote online are
welcome to drop off their picks at The
Creemore Echo office. Voting deadline
is Feb. 12.
New chair for medical centre
Marg Purkis is the new chair of
the Creemore Medical Centre service
board.
“We will be rebuilding the board and
the focus of the medical centre will
be on program development and new
doctor recruitment,” she said.
The position became vacant after the
chair and two other members resigned
for various reasons.
Clearview Township council, earlier
this month, directed the CAO to
work with the committee and report
back to council with an action plan
regarding the Creemore Medical
Centre’s outstanding lease on Feb. 9.
Policing committee
hosts open house
The Clearview Community Policing
Committee is holding an open house
Sunday to share information about
the committee’s crime prevention
initiatives, community work and drug
awareness. Guests include Huronia
West OPP and Crime Stoppers of
Simcoe Dufferin Muskoka.
The open house is from 2 p.m. to 4

Centre, located at 217 Gideon Street
in Stayner, on Sunday, Jan. 31.

First ARC public meeting at Byng on Feb. 11
(Continued from page 1)
Grades 7-12.
Option B is to close SCI and transfer
high school students to Collingwood
Collegiate Institute and Nottawasaga
Pines Secondary School in Angus, close
Byng and accommodate elementary
school students at Clearview Meadows
and the SCI building.
Both options would include a request
for funds for renewal, program space
and additions where necessary.
A third option is to maintain status
quo and submit a business case to the
ministry for a replacement school for
Byng and space enhancements at SCI.
“In the end it would be a win-win
for Stayner,” said Annie Chandler,
trustee for Clearview Township, of
the staff preferred option. “You are
going to get a strong viable community
educational hub, an elementary school
and a secondary school right beside
each other, it’s absolutely ideal. It’s
a new model and people are a little
weary of it but it’s a solution for rural
high schools in Ontario and we need
to keep them alive and this is a good
option.”
“It would bring a big infusion
of money so there would be like a
$2 million renovation to SCI and a
renovation to Clearview Meadows.
Stayner would benefit,” said Chandler.
She said school board staff is
talking to students about what kind of
programming they would like to see at
SCI that they currently aren’t getting.
“Those programs would receive
money too and then Clearview
Meadows would receive money to
accommodate the additional kids
because they are already at max, they
already have portables.”
Chandler said trustees visited a
Grade 7-12 school in a neighbouring
county and the Grade 7 and 8 students
liked being in the high school
environment, taking advantage of
music and technology programs and
the gym.
There is also evidence that the
school had better student retention
levels and in a small community like
Stayner, Chandler said, the Grade 7
and 8 students may already know the
older students.
“In a small community, it’s not like
they’re being thrown in with a bunch
of strangers,” said Chandler. “The
way it looks now, Stayner Collegiate
is declining in enrollment and this is
one way to get more students there, put
big money into the school and secure
its future.”
The first public meeting is at Byng
3
Public School on Thursday, Feb. 11,
a second meeting is at Clearview
Meadows Elementary School on
Thursday, Mar. 10, and a final public
meeting will be at SCI on Wednesday,
April 20.
A special board meeting to hear
from delegations will be held on May
24 and school trustees will make a
final decision on June 9 at the SCDSB
education centre in Midhurst. All
meetings begin at 7 p.m.
The expectation is that it would take
about two years to make the changes.
In the case of Option C, it could be that
students currently in Grade 5 would go
to Grade 7 at SCI.
Chandler said she will be suggesting
an attendance area review in conjunction
with the pupil accommodation review
to reassess which students would
attend the new SCI.
ATV road access would also benefit residents
(Continued from page 1)
locations and staff has been directed to
prepare a comprehensive report that
will be used to communicate proposed
routes to the public.
Councillors Deborah Bronée and
Kevin Elwood said the bylaw could
also benefit residents who use ATVs
regularly for business and recreation.
“This is an opportunity to bring them
into compliance,” said Bronée.
Councillor Connie Leishman
said she is already hearing from
residents who have concerns. She said
there are people out there who don’t
appreciate snowmobile traffic during
the winter and now they would have
to tolerate ATV traffic. She said many
of Clearview’s roadways are used by
cyclists and pedestrians and they are
no match for ATVs.
Klemmensen said the club is aware
that there are ATV riders who don’t
follow the rules but they are not the
people who are members of the club.
“We don’t like these people. We have
as much trouble with them as you,” he
said. “If people don’t follow the rules
Clearview addresses derelict builds through bylaw
At the suggestion of Councillor
Robert Walker, Clearview council has
directed staff to prepare a draft property
standards bylaw to deal exclusively
with the esthetics and condition of
abandoned buildings in the township.
Walker said with the township
ramping up for a revitalization project
in downtown Stayner and an increasing
focus on tourism, he would like to see
a bylaw in place that would give staff
some teeth when it comes to persuading
people to spruce up certain buildings.
Councillor Shawn Davidson
suggested that perhaps staff should
also investigate a bylaw with a scope
beyond abandoned buildings but there
wasn’t enough supports around the
council table.
Currently, the Township of Clearview
does not have a property standards
bylaw of any kind on the books.
they are a problem.”
The club has trails within Simcoe
County forests and is working with the
county on a pilot project to improve
enforcement using paid duty police
officers.
The majority of councillors agreed
to start by exploring limited ATV
access rather than opening the roads
completely.
“The initial year or two needs to be
a bit more scoped,” said Councillor
Shawn Davidson. “Rather than carte
blanche.”
Clearview Township council wants
to hear from residents before making
a decision. They are in the process of
setting up a process for public input.
“We need to hear from the public,”
said Deputy Mayor Barry Burton.
“It’s going to affect them so we need
to hear from them.”

Opinion
Improvements to SCI would
make school more attractive
to Clearview youth
Not to jinx it but at first glance this ARC looks like
it is going to be much more productive and functional
than the last one convened to decide the fate of Stayner
Collegiate Institute.
We were in the trenches during that process and it
wasn’t pretty. Not only did it pit community against
community, it lowered morale at SCI and made the
school community unsure of its longevity.
We hope SCI will emerge from this process with
some assurance that it will be around for the long term
and will have the resources it needs to be a complete
education facility.
Moving on, with an open mind and new policy
guidelines, this ARC could finally see Stayner
Collegiate Institute overcome its hurdles and become
the high school this community deserves.
The ARC – the accommodation review committee
– is reviewing enrollment at three Stayner schools
and what space is needed to accommodate them.
Hopefully, in the end Stayner will have a homegrown
solution that works for the local community but the
rest of us shouldn’t become idle bystanders because
the decisions made during this ARC will have an
impact on students at Nottawasaga and Creemore
Public School and every other elementary school in
Clearview that feeds into SCI.
It’s about more than bums in seats.
A school’s main focus should be on preparing
students for post secondary education in whatever
form that may take – a trade, college or university.
Success starts in a child’s earliest years, even before
a child gets to school but high school is the last
chance to prepare students for the launch. It’s a highly
competitive world out there and Clearview’s youth
need to be well armed with base knowledge and strong
learning skills.
Clubs, music programs and athletics are an
important factor in making for a high quality of life
and overall enjoyment of the school community and
definitely help with student retention. They sometimes
lead to careers but they are not, generally speaking,
what will set students up for academic success.
If SCI opens to Grade 7 and 8 students in Stayner
they will share in the reinvigorated school spirit. And
if that happens it would be wise to invite Grade 7 and
8 students from the feeder schools to participate in
some way so that by the time they are making a choice
about where to go to high school they are already
looking forward to attending SCI as long as they can
be assured of a top rate education.
There are concerns about integrating Grade 7
and 8 students into a high school where they will be
exposed to the behaviours of older teens but there is
also an opportunity for older students to be positive
role models for the younger set.
There are so many great kids in Clearview, who
understand the importance of community and have
bright futures ahead, we owe it to them to have every
advantage.

The way we were
Creemore hockey team 1922. Back row: Joe Jardine, Harry Madill, George McLaren, Milton
Hinds. Front row: Angus Gillespie, Bill Emmett, Ted Creighton, Ken Carlton, Jack Lawrence
and goalie Norman "Chum" Somerville (front).
1922 Creemore hockey team never lost a game
by Alex Hargrave
When I was a wee lad back in the early 1960s I used
to look at the giant of a man who I knew as my loving
grandfather. So tall, over six feet, with these massive
hands and a stride that made up three or four of mine.
Inside my grandparents’ house, there was a special
cardboard box full of lots of things, including softballs
and hardballs. I was told the furniture was won by my
grandpa at the lawn bowling championships.
I remember going into the Creemore Meat Market
when Noel Van Walleghen’s parents operated the
grocery store and old men telling me what a good
sportsman my grandfather was. One old fella showed
me a darkened eye and told me my grandpa, Bill
Emmett’s slap shot did that to him.
To tell you that I was in awe of such a man would
be an understatement.
It was with great delight in 2006 I purchased Bob
Curran’s Images of Creemore for the Past 100 Years
calendar which included a photo of the 1922 Creemore
hockey team (above). My grandfather was on that
team.
As many of you know, my mother, Helen Blackburn
loves nothing more than reading old newspapers to
learn of the past. So it should be of no surprise to you
that I received a mass of old newspaper clippings.
I remember reading that the 1922 team was very
special. The club used to barnstorm all over the area,
Thornbury, Collingwood, Tottenham, Caledon and
even down to Orangeville. A hotshot Toronto team
came to Creemore to teach our boys a thing or two.
They didn’t. That 1922 Creemore team never lost a
game and won by large margins.
Ken Carlton is the father of Wayne ‘Swoop’ Carlton
of Collingwood. In my readings, Ken was a dominant
player and could seem to score at will. His son inherited
his dad’s athleticism and went on to win a Stanley Cup
with Bobby Orr for the 1969-70 Boston Bruins. He was
on the ice when Orr scored that famous Cup clinching
goal in the fourth game of the final.
Local sports have always been of great interest for
me. Perhaps because of my mom’s historical bend, my
grandpa’s athleticism, the fact that I have played sports
and enjoyed recreation here, I have always wanted a
Sports Hall of Fame to recognize and honour our own
home-bred sports heroes as well as a way to keep the
legends alive forever.
Alas, to my overwhelming joy in December,
I learned that Clearview Township’s recreation
committee has undertaken the project of creating a
Clearview Township Sports Hall of Fame with the
first inductees to be introduced some time in 2017.
Categories include athletes, builders, and teams.
The township needs to be congratulated for doing
this. It’s only 42 years behind the Town of Collingwood
and the creation of their hall.
In recent years, I can think of many worthy candidates.

Thank you to the community members listed who gave to the 2015 Tree of Life campaign. We’re proud to share
the news that we have been able to fund all cardiac monitors in the Operating Rooms, Recovery Room, ICU,
Emergency Department (Trauma Rooms) as well as Telemetry and central monitoring stations. Our medical
team extends a heartfelt thank you for bringing this critical equipment to our patients. We are grateful for your
investment in patient care.” ~ Elaine Collings, Registered Nurse, ICU.

Many worthy candidates
for new sports hall of fame
NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETINGS The Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) is
undertaking a Pupil Accommodation Review to address
enrolment, programming, and facility condition challenges for a
group of schools that includes Stayner Collegiate Institute, Byng
Public School and Clearview Meadows Elementary School. The Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) has been
established and will be conducted based on the SCDSB Pupil
Accommodation Review Policy. Meeting dates for the ARC have been established as follows.
All meetings are at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 11, 2016 – 1st Public Meeting
Byng Public School
Thursday, Mar. 10, 2016 – 2nd Public Meeting
Clearview Meadows Elementary School
Wednesday, April 20, 2016 – Final Public Meeting
Stayner Collegiate Institute
Tuesday, May 24, 2016 – Special Board Meeting for Delegations
SCDSB Education Centre
Thursday, June 9, 2016 – Special Board Decision Meeting
SCDSB Education Centre Further information can be found on the ARC 2015:01
webpage at www.scdsb.on.ca/ARCs. All information,
minutes, presentations and meeting dates will be available
on this page.
(Continued from page 4)
For the builder, Paul ‘Sivvy’ Carruthers'
contribution to Junior hockey and local
baseball; and Larry Sinclair’s tireless
hours creating a world class Nordic
facility come to mind. Steve Walker,
professional hockey player and now
coach in Germany, would seem to be
a lock to be nominated; as does Don
Westbrooke, the only North American
hockey player to score a hat-trick on
Vladislav Tretiak, arguably, the greatest
goaltender in the history of the game
of hockey.
Stayner Siskins had some very
special teams in the 1970s and early
1990s. Creemore, New Lowell and
Stayner have all had strong ball clubs.
The township is blessed to have
many top notch facilities: Devil's Glen,
Highlands Nordic, Osler, Duntroon
Highlands Golf, Batteaux Creek, Mad
River Golf, Smith Brothers Baseball
Central, community centres, bowling
alleys, curling pads, lawn bowling
greens, arenas and baseball diamonds.
Then there is the high school and the
athletics program there.
Athletes from these facilities have
gone on to the Olympics, national,
provincial, regional and local
championships. Our township has many
deserving candidates to be honoured in
such a way.
Shane Sargant, Clearview’s culture,
recreation and tourism coordinator, was
able to get me a basic guideline for
the new Hall of Fame. The following
criteria apply to nominees, which are the
basic guts as to whom shall be eligible.
• Born in Clearview Township and
spent their formative years here;
• Not born in Clearview Township
but moved here and lived a minimum of
five years before or during their sporting
accomplishments;
• An athlete or team member from an
outlying area that rightfully participated
with and represented a recognized
Clearview Township sport association
for a minimum of five years. Nominees
are not eligible for the hall until five
years after retirement from the sport
or at the discretion of the selection
committee;
• Those mentioned above may be
considered even if they eventually
moved away from the area;
• A person who has been employed and
or been instrumental in the development
of sport and sporting accomplishments
in Clearview Township.
There are no waiting periods for
builders or teams.
Without a doubt, the hall will create
controversy on who is selected but it’ll
be what I call good controversy.
Here’s one: Does retired NHL star
Jason Arnott make it?
He played for the Siskins as an under
16 before moving on to the OHL and
then the NHL. Get ready for some
action.

Hargrave's Stayner Siskins coverage

of Adam (Jessica) Shearer.
The family also wishes to extend
their sincerest appreciation to Deanna

caregiver towards the end of his life.
Kirk was born in Toronto and worked

a farm in Creemore for 30 years before
moving to Collingwood. As head of
Tourism Toronto he was, and continued
to be, a passionate advocate for his city.

was a drummer for Ronnie Hawkins and
Robbie Lane and The Disciples. His years
in the media business were some of his
most cherished, primarily as a founding
partner in Procom. His favourite post was

Kirk was incredibly proud of his
son Adam and they shared a special
relationship. He loved his nieces and
nephews, making them an important
part of his life. He had friends from every
walk of life and was a warm and caring
man. Kirk also had a flare for real estate
and it was said that the only thing he
could not pass up was an Open House!

take place at the Mount Pleasant
Cemetery Visitation Centre in
Toronto on Sunday, February 7,
2016, with a memorial service from
