by Brad HoldenThe Duntroon Quarry Consolidated Board hearing reconvened Monday morning after a long summer break, with members of the Clearview Community Coalition, the ratepayers’ group that is opposing the application along with the Niagara Escarpment Commission, hoping that the Board’s first ruling of this session would be to include a “public night” so that those not involved in the hearing might be able to voice their concerns.

Instead, the Board announced that it was wary of a “free-for-all” meeting, and that in its opinion, the long process that has brought the matter to this point has included many opportunities for members of the public to get involved, whether by filing an appeal and becoming a party to the hearing or by signalling their intention to take participant status, file a witness statement and address the Board in due course.

As a compromise, it was ruled that the deadline for applying for participant status would be extended, and that when the time comes for the Board to hear statements from participants (likely sometime in November), it would be willing to sit into the evening to accommodate everyone.

Lawyers for both sides were instructed to meet sometime in the near future to hammer out details regarding a new deadline, as well as how the public is to be notified of this new opportunity.

The rest of the week featured testimony from Walker Aggregates’ landscape architect and its planner.

On Wednesday, the lawyer for Grey County also revealed that her client had reached a settlement with Walker over the summer, guaranteeing that if County Road 91 is closed, then Nottawasaga 27/28 Sideroad will be upgraded to a tar-and-chip surface, rather than the gravel surface agreed upon in the previous settlement between Walker, Clearview Township and Simcoe County.

Testimony from Grey County’s transportation director regarding the new settlement will be heard on Monday.

NO PUBLIC MEETING FOR QUARRYBoard rules that concerned residents can seek participant status instead

SIGN OF THE SEASON The Echo’s Fred Mills gave his new camera a workout Monday night and managed to get this amazing shot of the harvest moon, a sure sign that summer is drawing to a close.

BUILDING FOR POSTERITY Port Hope “dry stone wall expert” John Shaw-Rimmington spent three days in Dunedin last week coaching about 15 people on the art of creating architectural features in stone without the use of mortar. The end result, an ornamental wall in memory of Bill Hobbs, is now in place in front of Knox Presbyterian Church. For pictures of the process and the final product, see page 8.

A GREAT NEIGHBOURHOOD PARTY One of this area’s finest community traditions was observed on August 14, when 52 people attended the 15th annual Ten Hill Community picnic, this year hosted by Jim and Marilyn Steed and their dog Max. A great time was had by all, whose ages ranged from 8 months to 98 years.

by Diane McKayThis summer, Creemore had the pleasure of having 280 cadets plus about three dozen commanding officers from Charlie Company of Blackdown Training Centre, Canadian Forces Base Borden contribute 1,200 community service hours working on various projects throughout the community. As the local contacts and project organizers, my husband Brian and I purchased 300 pair of cotton and/or leather work gloves, 90 yard waste bags, 300 each of bananas, tangerines and ice cream bars, 72 cans of frozen lemonade concentrate, 36

bags of ice and 14 watermelons, plus the gas to round up the yard waste bags and haul them off to the landfill.

Brian and I wish to acknowledge the following organizations and individuals for their contributions to cover the above mentioned expenses: the Station on the Green – $100, the Big Heart Seniors – $100, the Creemore Tree Committee – $100, the Clearview Public Library – $25, the Creemore Horticultural Society – $50, The Creemore Legion – $50 and their Women’s Auxillary – $50. Thanks also to Bob Kacarevich, Sylvia and Warren Gale and the

Creeden Valley Nursing Home for supplying the extra watermelon.

Thanks to Steve Martin at Foodland for the final week’s ice cream treat and Evi Lawton for the brownies and to all who loaned gardening tools for the projects.Finally, a heartfelt thanks to all who stopped to compliment the cadets on their efforts to help beautify our community and to assist seniors and those with disabilities with their yard work.

Once again, Creemore held true to its Gaelic meaning: the “village with a big heart.”

A final report on our generous Blackdown cadets

LETTER

Dear EditorWhile I am writing this, Brandon, the young

student I have been using from the “Rent-a-Youth” program, is busy scraping loose paint from around the windows and doors. I have been using Brandon often this summer for a variety of chores that, to date, include weeding the garden (a job Brandon dislikes, but that didn’t stop him from doing a good job), pulling weeds from the pond, and presently, preparing the windows and doors for painting ( jobs that Brandon likes a whole lot better).

I gradually became aware of the Rent-a-Youth program last summer, the first year of its existence. This is a program that brings homeowners and students together so that work is done on and about the house that the homeowner needs help with. In many cases it also involves mentoring the student, thus adding training to the work experience and discipline that the student receives.

This has been a great program for me. I get help with work that wouldn’t likely get done otherwise, and the student gets money (eleven dollars an hour, a dollar of which goes to administering

the program) that he or she can always use, plus a learning and work experience that would benefit any kid of this age. The youth also gets, I understand, training from Zach McDonald, the administrator of the program, on subjects such as safety and dangerous substances. I also hear that the program will continue on into the fall on weekends. Arranging acquiring the student is also effortless; I phone Zach, he phones Brandon and we agree to a time. It is a great program!

For those of you who are unaware of this program, now you know. Zach’s number is 888-3464.

Dave Bull, Creemore

Praise for the Rent-a-Youth program

New Lowell resident David McNeil brought us several interesting old postcards this week, including this one that features a pastoral view of a stately Elizabeth Street circa the 1920s. Anyone care to guess whether it’s east or west of Mill Street?

Opposition to local wind turbine developments became a lot more palpable this week with the introduction of four roadside signs, distributed by ClearviewWAIT to its supporters, each with a different turn of phrase expressing distaste with industrial wind turbines.

The ratepayers’ group has printed 400 signs in all, and many of them are already in place along County Roads 9, 124, 21, and 91 as well as Fairgrounds Road, the 6th Line, Riverside Drive and the Glen Huron/Dunedin Road.

The Echo counted 30 signs alone on Fairgrounds Road, the epicentre of the wind controversy. The vast majority of lanes between Creemore and the Beattie properties south of County Road 91, where the most imminent wind development is proposed to be built, now feature one of these black, forboding signs, making it obvious where each particular landowner stands on the issue.

Regardless of how you feel about wind energy, it is hard to drive along the road and not feel sympathy for these residents, or be impressed by their solidarity.

Surely, some kind of democracy must prevail in cases like these. Every one of these people will be affected in some way if the wind turbines are built on their road. Hopefully, however the provincial EA and approvals process evolves from here, these people will be engaged respectfully. If their concerns cannot be allayed, can any developer really be allowed to make such a drastic change to the landscape in the face of such widespread, united opposition?

This was our 12 noon pot luck lunch day, and after Bob Veale gave the blessing, those of us who had arrived early enough tucked into a lovely, varied lunch. We were pleased to have two of irma Flack’s grandkids, Jessica and Alex Flack, join us.

In welcoming Wayne Riddall, Bob Veale mentioned that Wayne had returned after a lengthy absence. Then Barb Pilon came up with another cute joke. That gal has a great memory – and she can tell a good story!

The 50/50 draws went to Eileen Nash, George Blakney, Marg Hope, Earl Bentley, isabelle Gubbell, May Johnston and Jim Ferguson.

Moon shots were played by Jim Ferguson , Alma Seifert , Peter Gubbell, Janice Stephens, Jim Rigney , Wilma Zeggil , Wayne Riddall, “Mr.” Dave Smith, Norma Johnston – and then Marge Douglas played three moon shots in a row! This gave her the last moon shot, which meant she ended up with the $5 travelling prize plus $1 for each of the three moon shots. Jim Rigney won the Sidewinders money and the side bet money.

High scorers were Wayne Riddall 313, Marion Kelly 274, Marge Douglas 272 and Norma Johnston 269. Low was Audrey Tidd with 87. The hidden score of 115 was not won, so it will be worth $25 next week.

Our thanks to May Johnston for bringing in and sharing some white lily bulbs with us. We also all owe Ray Leighton, Marion Kelly, Barb Cudmore, irene Dolson and Bob Veale a huge “Thank you.” They constantly arrive at the Legion early and get the tables set up and ready for cards as well as getting the tea and coffee urns ready to plug in. Then on pot luck lunch days, they set the tables up with cutlery and napkins, get the tea and coffee started, plus the one hundred and one things that need doing that makes it look as if there was nothing to it. Then when the meal is over, they are the first out to the kitchen on clean up duty. There are many others who are great to help clean up, and to do anything they can to help, which is wonderful. But week after week, Ray, Marion, Barb and Irene just go ahead and do whatever has to be done, quietly and without any thought of looking for praise for doing it. There are so many

others such as Phyllis Seed, Dave Smith, irma Flack, Wilma Zeggil, Mercedes and Roy Veinot, Janice Stephens, Ted underhill, Jim and Marg Ferguson, Barb Pilon, Ruby Klinck, Marge Douglas and on and on that deserve a big pat on the back. And of course Bob

Veale, who does most of the shopping, the banking, etc, etc. And I was almost afraid to write the above because I (and the rest of us) know that there are so many folks who are not getting mentioned here that really should also be added to the above list. But then I realized that, if I did not want to leave anyone out that helped out, then I would have to list nearly our whole roster. So to all you unnamed and unsung helpers – Thank you!

We were sorry to hear that Howard Hanson has been in Collingwood Hospital for the past week or so, but he hopes to get home soon. Here’s wishing you a speedy recovery, Howard.

We also extend our sympathy to Mercedes and Roy Veinot and their family on the loss of Mercedes’ sister, who resided in Nova Scotia. Roy and Mercedes have been down there for the last week or two.

We would like to send a Happy Birthday to Ruth Barber from all her family and friends on her 95th birthday today. May you enjoy many more, Ruth. Also, this past Saturday there was very definitely a full house at Ellen and Lloyd Whitley’s on the occasion of Lloyd’s 80th birthday. This was a real old-time get together with lots of family, friends and neighbours both old and new from far and wide. And, as Lloyd is well known for his original sayings and descriptions of things, someone was on the ball and passed a paper around for everyone to write down some of the more memorable utterances of his that they remembered. I did not see the completed list, but one of these days I will go to the Whitleys’ just to see if Bob Kent wrote down one of Lloyd’s sayings when the cards are not going his way. Did anyone see “Sheep s--t!” on the list? One that I did notice was “I’m as dry as an Arab’s bootlaces!,” which kind of lets you know just how thirsty he really is. Anyway, it was a delightful gathering, and we were pleased to be included. It also, by the way, was their daughter Jennifer’s birthday. So many happy returns to the both of you.

Recently, we came home to find a call from grandboy Curtis Kidd on our answering machine. Curtis is at present away north of the Arctic Circle on Little Cornwallis Island. He is overseeing the close out of a mine, and the safe disposal of all equipment, fuel, etc. in an ecologically safe manner. He got his message to us out on a satellite phone, so it was short and to the point. He said, “You may have heard about a man being attacked by a polar bear in the news. It wasn’t me, and it wasn’t on this island. Just thought I’d let you know in case you were worried.” We were very happy that he thought to let us know, as in the recent past, Curtis convinced one of the Eskimos to get him somewhere where he could get “up close and personal” with some polar bears so he could get some pictures. Well, he has some great pictures of bears – you can even see the blood around their mouths where they have just had a meal – so is it any wonder that we would be worried had we heard about the bear attack? I’m sure my first thought would have been, “Oh no! That kid has got too close this time, and they are snacking on him!” So thank you, Curtis, for letting us know that you were OK. That was a thoughtful move on your part, and we appreciate it.

Clearview Township has recently done a very nice job of cutting the long grass on the sides of the road south of Creemore, and especially on 6/7 Sideroad and part of the 3rd Line.

There are a lot of deer that cross these roads, and having the grass cut back gives a driver a bit more of a chance to see and avoid hitting them. Thank you to the road maintenance/grounds crews for doing this.

It must have been a bit disheartening for the staff at the Echo to have received the Letter to the Editor that was printed in last week’s paper. Personally, I have found the Echo always ready to include any and all news from the area, and not just from Creemore , and it would have been a real “downer” to be accused of ignoring the area sports teams. The Creemore Echo, as did the Creemore Star before it, would always, to my knowledge, print the outcome of the various games provided they received the scores from any and all local games. The Echo, like the Star, does not have the manpower to cover all these sporting events, so they rely on the teams themselves to provide this information. It has always been this way. Back when I played ball for Creemore, we took or phoned the scores into the Star, and, if we provided them with the information, the Barrie TV station would also air the results of our games. I was also quite surprised and almost a bit upset at the last line of that letter, which said “The days of good and largely unbiased reporting ended with the demise of the Creemore Star.” This is where I need to borrow Lloyd Whitley’s “Sheep s--t!” to state succinctly how I would describe that line!

An ancient art revisited at Knox Presbyterian in DunedinAbout 15 local people jumped at the chance to learn the art of dry stone wall

building in Dunedin last week with visiting expert John Shaw-Rimmington. The results of their three-day workshop will now endure as a permanent feature in front of Knox Presbyterian Church. The project was organized by Anna Hobbs, in memory of her late husband Bill.

According to Shaw-Rimmington, dry stone walls are growing in popularity, as people are attracted to the opportunity to create landscapes like those seen in the countryside of the British Isles.

For more information about the structures and about upcoming workshops, visit the Dry Stone Wall Association of Canada at www.dswa.ca.

New store celebrates flavours of the worldby Brad HoldenWhen Becky Eveland bought a rundown house on Elizabeth Street three years ago, she’d recently retired and planned to make a pastime of renovating and flipping houses. The only problem was, she quickly fell in love with Creemore, and by the time she’d fixed up the house, she’d decided to stay.

So earlier this year, she and her daughter Jordan Menicucci, who now lives with her in Creemore, began brainstorming what she could do in her newly settled existence. Most times, the discussions were over dinners with an international flavour, a reflection of Eveland’s other hobby, sourcing exotic ingredients and sampling different cuisines.

And so arrived the idea for Sola Sun Sea and Earth Co., the store that Eveland recently opened in the former teahouse at the corner of Mill and Francis Streets. Named in honour of Eveland’s granddaughter, the name conveniently has two meanings – in Latin, it means “sun,” which is of course responsible for much of the great food available there. In Italian, it means “alone” or “unique,” and the store certainly qualifies as that.

Divided into areas reflecting different cuisines, from Mexican to Greek to Indian to Chinese (and many more), the store offers a cornucopia of interesting and hard-to-find ingredients. Of course, for those not familiar with cooking some of these foods, there is a great selection of cookbooks available as well.

Evelend also has her eye on the “easy gourmet” market, and will be offering a variety of “cooking kits,” featuring prepackaged spices, noodles or rice – just add the meat and you’ll have an instant exotic meal.

On Saturday August 28, Eveland will host an official grand opening, and she has several tastings planned. The main event will be a “salad-off,” featuring Caprese Salads made with three different cheeses – a regular cow mozzarella, a water buffalo mozzarella from Ontario and a water buffalo mozzarella from Italy.

The event will set the mood of the store going forward, as Eveland is the type that finds cooking fun, and she hopes the store will reflect that.

Sola’s grand opening begins at 10 am on Saturday, August 28.

Becky Eveland, her daughter Jordan Menicucci and her granddaughter Sola Menicucci are excited to bring the flavours of the world to Creemore at Eveland’s new store, Sola Sun Sea & Earth Co.

What a summer! Truly, I have been continually amazed how perfect this summer has been. The weather, the fresh produce, the events… it has been a summer that we will remember. But as each week passes I can begin to feel autumn in the air, as the nights turn cooler, and the sun sets earlier. Each year I look forward to autumn in Clearview, especially trips that include a drive through Creemore and continuing on number 9 through Dunedin. The colour of the leaves are always spectacular along that stretch.

I feel that we have packed so many great activities into our summer that my kids may look forward to going back to school, because it will give them a chance to rest from our crazy schedule! Of course, they haven’t actually said this, and will probably deny the accusation. My daughter has just returned from Camp Simpresca. We have been going to Camp Simpresca as a family, since she was a toddler. It is a children’s camp supported by the United Church. It is through our association with

Centennial United Church in Stayner that we have been able to develop a special bond with Camp Simpresca. The children’s/teen’s camp is located on a hill overlooking Georgian Bay. It provides kids with the opportunity to grow as individuals, learning

leadership and self esteem and at the same time being away from their parents. Their days are spent canoeing, kayaking, swimming, doing ropes courses, zip lining, and many more experiences that help to turn kids into confident, adults. A large group of us from Stayner spend a weekend at Camp Simpresca each year before the student campers arrive, and we’d love to have you join us in June for this activity filled, fresh-air weekend!

While Grace was away, my son Jacob and I took advantage of the perfect weather and checked out the new Stayner-Collingwood bike trail, that travels adjacent to the train tracks. We began the trail beside Coffee Culture in Stayner, travelled through Centennial Park, across Highway 26, and we biked to Collingwood and back

to Stayner! The trail is a gentle, easy ride on flat, well groomed terrain. Any rider would enjoy the scenery past fields and wooded areas. It took us about an hour to get to Collingwood at an easy pace. Unfortunately, there is an ugly section of the trail where the rail line has chosen to trim the trees by smashing them with the bucket of a loader, making the poor trees look like victims of a tornado. This same destruction can be seen in Stayner along the rail line on Warrington Road. It looks awful, as the trees appear as if attacked by an act of vandalism. There has got to be a better way to trim the trees along the rail line.

There is only one evening left to enjoy Music In the Park at the Station Park Gazebo. The music runs from 7 to 9 pm, weather permitted. On Thursday,

September 2, Southern Comfort will be featured. Bring your lawn chair and arrive early! These weekly events are presented by the Stayner Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by local businesses such as TD Canada Trust, the Stayner Lions Club, Stayner Home Hardware, and Barb’s Clothes Closet.

The Stayner Chamber of Commerce Annual Beef Barbeque is set to take place on Saturday, September 11, at the Station Park Gazebo (where all things Stayner occur!). The event is always well-attended, and the food is always great. Many volunteers are needed to make this evening a success, so if you are able, we would love to see you out to support this great community event. Please contact Monica Aarden at Aarden’s Chocolates (428-3385) for more information.

yard SaleSaturday, August 28

8 am to 1 pmCaroline Street East – opposite Station on the Green – along side Village Builders) you know, Village Builders in the Old Fire Hall.)

Not your every day yard sale – well maybe it is – but no – this has really neat stuff. A Hamilton Beach old fashion milkshake maker for sale for example – you know the green colour one. And we have a set of 4 wicker very comfortable chairs with cushions – (would look great on your deck). There is a free table, a $1, $2 and $5 table.

This is all in aide of Creemore’s Rent –A –youth – you know, those great kids who run around town cutting lawns, cleaning barns, painting decks and fences all with a smile on their face. All the proceeds go to the support of this great kids’ program. Hope you can drop by.

September’s featured artist at the Mad and Noisy Gallery is painter, sculptor, songwriter and performer Roy Hickling. His show, “Paint and Plasma,” will have abstract paintings as well as steel globes with intricate plasma cut designs. While the show title literally describes Hickling’s work, there is also an inference to how painting has gotten into his blood.

The Barrie artist explains: “I am fascinated by intuitive creativity and attempt to analyze its source and fuel its influences in my painting, sculpture and especially songwriting. People unfamiliar with my work will find the contrasting media and the combinations of intuitive and methodical approaches of interest, especially if they have a bent towards non-objective work.”

Working in many art mediums has definite advantages for Hickling. “The creative processes are definitely linked and I have revisited themes from one discipline in the other,” he says. “However, they are not too closely linked… which allows one to be a welcome and regenerative break from the others.”

A long-time member of the Mad and Noisy Gallery, Hickling’s new work represents a shift from figurative to predominately non-objective art .The paintings are dynamic, energetic, intuitive and loosely expressed. “Although they build on each other, I try to work quickly and not plan too much so that chance enters into

the process,” says Hickling. Several of the paintings in the exhibition were created simultaneous to and in collaborative response to improvised e l e c t r o n i c m u s i c b y Hickl ing’s brother-in-l a w R a y Dillard.

The metal g l o b e -s h a p e d structures, which are the b e g i n n i n g o f a n e w series called “ D r a w i n g with Fire,” are rigid and symmetrical, w h i l e t h e p l a s m a c u t t i n g w i t h i n the p ieces introduces a loose style to a more mathematical framework. There is wide variation in the dozens of feet of designs and patterns – some deliberate and recognizable, and some arrived at through a completely random approach. Hickling explains that new ideas often occur as he is solving structural issues and planning assembly. Variations occur and sometimes take over or become

a later piece.Primarily self-taught, Hickling

began exhibiting in 2000. Since then he has participated in numerous solo and

group shows, including The MacLaren Art Centre (Barrie), Glenhyrst Art Gallery of Brant ( B r a n t f o r d ) , the Alton Mill ( A l t o n ) , T h e Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts (Toronto), and Double Door S t u d i o s a n d Gallery (Anten Mills).

To l a u n c h the month-long show, Hickling will be wearing h i s s i n g e r , songwriter and

guitar-player hats for a Saturday evening concert on August 28 at 7:30 pm. Hickling will be performing original progressive roots music, including several tunes from his soon-to-be released first album.

For more information about the show, contact the gallery at 466-5555 or www.madandnoisy.com.

by Fred MillsThe Creemore Braves will have to wait until 2011 for their next shot at the Strothers Cup, after being swept out of the playoffs by the Bolton Brewers this week.

Game 2 of the second-round series between Bolton and Creemore took place on Saturday in Creemore, with a great crowd welcoming them. Brett Trott took the ball to try and even the series. Brett threw 5.1 innings, allowing six hits and fanning three batters. Matt Baldry came in as relief and tossed 1.2 innings. The Braves mustered out six hits, with Brett Trott leading the way with three and Tom Gateman, Chris Greer and Steve Westbrooke all making it on base safely. Final score: Bolton 6, Creemore 4. With the win, Bolton returned home with a commanding 2-0 series lead.

The Braves travelled to Bolton

Tuesday night for a must-win game. Ace Brad Grieveson took to the hill, allowing eight hits and punching out five batters. Creemore’s bats were no match for Bolton’s pitching, however, with only two Braves, Tom Gateman and Bryan Post, reaching safely. Bolton won the game 3-1 and the series 3-0. Bolton will now wait for the end of the series between New Lowell and Aurora to see who they will face in the finals. That series, tied at 2-2 as of Thursday morning, was set to be decided after press time Thursday night.

A big thank you to Dan Gowan for providing us with Braves game information for the season. With out you we couldn’t cover the Braves as well as we do. Thank you!
