Essa man killed in
Clearview crash
An Essa Township resident was
killed in a car crash at the intersection

with minor injuries.
The investigation into the collision
is ongoing with the assistance of the

Horticultural Society Plant Sale at Station on the Green on May 21.
Hort Society holds plant sale May 21
by Trina Berlo
It is a good idea to hit the Creemore
Horticultural Society Plant Sale early
if you would like to snag some of the
more unusual plants.
Hort Society member Charlotte
Vorstermans is donating some of her
gems to the May 21 sale, including
Turtle Head, Japaene Waxbells, Bear’s
Breeches, Epimedium and more.
There will be about 1,000 plants
up for grabs at the annual plant sale,
which is the society’s main fundraiser.
The sale is held each year on the same
day as the Creemore Farmers’ Market
opener and it is very popular with area
gardeners. The doors open at 8:30 a.m.
and there is usually a line-up.
Members have donated a wide
range of plants, in good sized pots, dug
from their own gardens. There will be
many native plants, the old standards,
raspberry and blackberry cane, shrubs,
ornamental grasses, lots of Hostas and
maybe some annuals.
Vorstermans said, new this year,
there will be a children’s table with
miniature plants in small pots. Prices
range from 25 cents for the children’s
plants to $25 for the bigger pots.
Also that day, raffle tickets go on
sale for the “Through my Garden Gate”
quilt made by Cheryl Robertson of
Creemore House of Stitches. The draw
will be held in August.
The money raised covers the cost of
maintaining four gardens in Creemore.
Volunteers look after gardens at the
library, the jail and Grandmother’s
Garden beside the log cabin, in
addition to the large garden off Mill
Street. The money is also used to pay
for speakers at the Hort Society’s
monthly meetings.
The group meets at St. Luke’s
Anglican Church on the third
Wednesday of each month until June
and starting up again in the fall.
New members are welcome. For
more information, contact Charlotte
Vorstermans at 705-466-2756.
T h e N o t t a w a s a g a Va l l e y
Conservation Authority (NVCA)
holds its annual Arbour Day tree sale
on Saturday, May 14.
A wide array of trees and shrubs
will be available, including pine,
spruce, cedar, poplar, oak, maple,
walnut, American highbush cranberry,
nannyberry and dogwood.
NVCA’s forestry staff will be onhand to answer questions at the tree
sale at Tiffin Centre for Conservation,
8195 8th Line of Essa.
The Tiffin Centre sale runs from 8
a.m. until noon. Trees sold at Tiffin
are primarily bare root stock, and are
sold in bundles of 10 for $20 to $30 per
bundle (cash and credit card accepted).
All proceeds from the sales support
NVCA’s forestry program. This
year, the forestry program will plant
220,000 trees across the watershed.
As they grow, these future forests
will help to moderate the effects of
both drought and flooding, reduce soil
erosion, provide habitat for wildlife,
mitigate climate change and provide
an important economic resource.

BIA elects no-nonsense, get stuff done board
by Trina Berlo
Four new board members have been
appointed to the Creemore BIA during
a recent bi-election.
Creemore 100 Mile Store coowner Jackie Durnford will serve
as president, with Cardboard Castles
Children’s Emporium owner Laurie
Copeland in the role of vice president,
Creemore Springs Brewery director
o f m a r k e t i n g K a re n G a u d i n o
as secretary and Creemore Echo
publisher Sara Hershoff as treasurer.
Corey Finkelstein of Inzane Visual
Communications is staying on as past
president and Thom Paterson remains
in his role as council representative.
Several BIA seats became vacant
throughout the term with other
members indicating they wanted to step
down, prompting an election mid-term.
The board will remain in place until the
end of the current term of council, in
the fall of 2018.
According to a Clearview Township
bylaw, the board of management’s
duties are to oversee the improvement,
beautification and maintenance of
municipally owned land, buildings
and structures in the BIA – business
improvement area – beyond that
provided at the expense of the
municipality generally and to promote
the area as a business or shopping area. A $20,000 annual budget is used to
install planters along the main street,
maintain the garbage receptacles, and
make the street look nice in general.

The rest of it takes creativity, said
Durnford.
“It is important to make sure we
are connected and networked to make
sure we don’t miss any opportunities,”
she said.
Gaudino said some of that can be

done by capitalizing on what others are
doing to promote the area.
“We have to leverage the bigger
machines,” she said. “Not recreating
things but taking what’s here and
leveraging it, amplifying what is great
about Creemore.”
The province, the county, the
brewery, the farmers’ market and the
Apple Pie Trail are all examples of
entities that can be leveraged.
Durnford also said there is a lot
that can be done through one-onone marketing, by talking up the
neighbouring shops and setting a
positive environment for working
together. She said providing an
excellent visitor experience in terms
of customer service goes a long way to

increase return visits and bring in new
visitors, by word of mouth.
The BIA also plans to narrow its
scope in some ways by sticking to
its mandate. “We’ve all been around
long enough to know what we can and
cannot do,” said Hershoff.
“We want to be very realistic in our
goals,” said Durnford.
“We want to be a no-nonsense getstuff-done kind of board. We don’t
want stuff cluttering the path,” she said,
adding that it is the whole association
that makes decisions and will be
responsible for getting stuff done.
Copeland said credit is due to
the previous BIA board, for laying
a foundation and forging a good
relationship with the township.

The way we were
Welcome back to
long-form census
Canadians embraced the return of the long-form
census with gusto. If the recent online buzz is any
indication, many of us are more than willing to
participate.
Maybe its because we love to talk about ourselves
or maybe its because we want to know where we fit
in to the grand scheme of things but as a nation we
embrace the census and look forward to having the
data. For people like us, in the newspaper business, we
find statistics very valuable when it comes to seeing
who makes up our community. Only one of us in the
office got the long-form version and the rest of us were
a little jealous, to be honest. Lump us in with the rest
of the nerds who got excited to see the census arrive,
but were then disappointed because we had to settle
for the abridged version.
The short version asks mainly about the composition
of the household – who lives there, what age, their
relationship to each other and what languages they
speak. The longer version gets into household
spending on utilities. Don’t worry about income,
Statistics Canada will get the info from tax returns,
they say. The data is used to make “evidence-based”
decisions.
It is mandatory and people can face a fine and/or
jail time for not completing the census but no one has
ever been punished (with the exception of one woman
who had to do community service).
There was a lot of controversy surrounding the
decision to cancel the mandatory long-form census,
including the resignation of Statistic Canada’s chief
statistician. Even party supporters were against the
Conservatives’ decision to cancel it in 2010, due to
privacy concerns and enforcement. It was replaced
with the voluntary National Household Survey and
the response rate declined from 93.5 per cent in 2006
to 68.6 per cent in 2011. Those numbers indicate that
while many Canadians support the long-form census,
we need a nudge (or they were not participating as a
form of protest).
The census went out with a May 10 submission
date. It turned out it wasn’t so much a hard and fast
deadline as a recommendation.
After the census was mailed out last week it was
reported that the high volume of people attempting
to fill out the census online clogged the website. It
happened again this week, on May 9.
Those who haven’t filled out the census will get
a reminder in the mail and by June, the government
will start making phone calls.

Broader outlook needs to be considered
Editor:
I respond to John Wiggins' letter of May 6. Most
objections to wind turbines emanate from imagined
or estimated land value losses. Understandable,
but a broader outlook needs to be considered
without imagined issues to cloud the reasoning
behind the Green Energy Act 2009. John Wiggins
(on cost) suggesting a Nuclear Power Station be
approved instead of wind turbines, whether it be near
Collingwood or elsewhere in Ontario. That would be
a definite non-starter by local residents. Based on cost,
most renewable technologies generate electricity for
less than nuclear power output, that is expected to
show between 2017-2019.
Myths abound about wind turbines: They fall down! They cause human illness and brain problems. They
kill cattle or stop milk production ... etc, etc.
The future of energy has to be addressed, and all
renewable sources considered. Wind energy is now
more cost competitive than coal, hydro and nuclear
power. Also when a wind turbine ‘farm’ is constructed,
the price of electricity produced remains the same at
that level for the life of the ‘farm’. Construction is
rapid, thus producing benefit as quickly as possible. At
the end of a turbine’s life it can be demolished without
any harm done to our planet. Compare fossil fuels?
Can we honestly believe that any wind turbine plan,
having gone through multiple committees, would
cause death to pilots because they are in the flight
path of airport runways?
Ray Jackson,
Mulmur.
Editor:
County Road 91 should not be closed at the
Duntroon quarry. If people are really concerned
about protecting the environment, this should not be
allowed.
I understand the traffic is to be diverted to 26/27
Sideroad if it is upgraded, and it would take a lot. I
would be pretty upset if I lived on that road, to have
the peace and quietness, and wildlife destroyed.
When I travel, I like to choose the most efficient
route, one with the least amount of slow downs,
stops, starts and turns, because it costs extra money.
Consider the environmental impact of all the vehicles
that will have to make extra stops, turns, accelerations
and the extra distance travelled until the end of the
world. If a person is going west, slows down and turns
at Concession 10, goes down a hill, slows down, turns
and accelerates up a hill to regain the lost altitude. At
the end of the side road, turn left and go past the end
of County Road 91 to Concession 10 in Grey County.
To do the same in the other direction would involve
two complete stops and dangerous entry on County
Road 91 at Concession 10, if the trucks are allowed
to use the east gate of the quarry.
Singhampton won’t be happy with the extra truck
traffic. The extra time required to go from Duntroon
to the quarry via Singhampton will reduce the average
loads per day, reducing the profit margin and they
will not be able to pay the driver as good of wage. But
think of the extra fuel and the emissions.
How much resources will be required? It will
contribute to digging a bigger hole in the ground.
Something else that will be lost is the view for
many. I used to haul gravel out of the quarry and it
was always on amazing view overlooking Clearview.
If the road is closed, many will miss the opportunity.
C. Douglas White,
Staymore.

Current Simcoe County District School Board Student trustees welcome those newly-elected for the
next term, Drew Campbell (from left), Matt Thorhauge, Zak Mattila, Haley Tyrell, Nicholas Gulley
and Stayner Collegiate Institute student Grace Leyshon.
Student trustees elected for next school year
Student trustee elections for the Simcoe County
District School Board (SCDSB) were held in April for
the 2016-2017 school year and three new candidates
were elected by their peers.
Stayner Collegiate Institute student Grace Leyshon
is the south and west region representative, with
Georgian Bay District Secondary School student Matt
Thorhauge representing the north and east region and
Barrie North Collegiate Institute student Zak Mattila
representing the central and south region
The three new student trustees will serve their term
of office from August 1 to July 31, 2017.

I wish to thank all those who recently
helped me to celebrate my 70th
birthday. Especially my wife Gail,
who spent the last 2 months preparing
a surprise party in my honour, and
it was a surprise! Special thanks go
to Jim Bell and Barb Murdock for
decorating; Annette Chiasson for the
fabulous cake and Jim Moltner for the
dance music. The Legion members
Bob and Dee Hanson and Laura Earles
did a great job providing the food and
bar. Thank you to Ann Huskinson for
keeping Gail sane. Of course to all
my friends and family who showed
up and surprised the old guy with a
smash-up time, I thank you all. I am
truly blessed.

Glass on canvas art by Allan Varey, of Barrie, is among the artwork inspired
by music that will be part of the upcoming Lyrical show at The Mad and
Noisy Gallery, opening on Saturday, May 14.
Gallery hosts first juried art show
by Trina Berlo
The Mad and Noisy Gallery has
received submissions from 50 artists
for its first juried art show.
The show, entitled Lyrical, called
for art inspired by music. The show
will have about 100 pieces playing on
different interpretations of the theme.
Some works have a more literal take
and others draw inspiration from song
lyrics or the feeling they get while
listening to music.
Each artist has been asked to submit
a song that they have found inspiring
which will be added to a playlist for the
gallery, said Lyne.
They have received submissions
from near and far, including painting,
photography, glass and fabric art
sculpture.
Taking a new direction from the
CreemoreCentric show, gallery owners
Lyne and Rick Burek spread the net
wide, putting out a call for artists well
beyond the hills.
“We would like to introduce a few
more artists to the gallery. There’s a lot
of talented people out there and we get
requests all the time so this was going
to give us an opportunity for people to
show us what they can do,” said Rick.
Many of the artists will be at the
opening reception on Saturday, May
14, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The top three winners of the juried
show will win representation at the
gallery. The first place winner will win
a one-year term, the second place prize
is a six-month term and third place is a
three-month term.
The show continues until June 17,
when the awards will be presented at
a closing reception from 5:30 p.m. to
8:30 p.m. The public is also encouraged
to vote for their favourite piece for the
people’s choice award.
Because the exhibit coincides with
the Creemore Vintage Festival, singer/
songwriter Karina Wipper will be
performing outside the gallery.
