by Brad HoldenWpd Canada, developer of the proposed Fairview Wind Project in the vicinity of Fairgrounds Road and County Road 91, announced this week that it has determined a new layout for its eight proposed wind turbines, and that the company will host a “public open house” to discuss the project on Wednesday, July 13 at the Stayner Community Centre.

The company has been delayed in its plans by a clause that neighbours to the site found in the Clearview Township zoning bylaw, which allowed them to build accessory buildings anywhere on their properties. A number of building permits were filed at the Township office that caused lawyers to become involved, in an attempt to discern whether accessory buildings should invoke setback regulations set out in the Green Energy Act.

In a press release this week, wpd Canada president Ian MacRae said, “Although regulations specify that the accessory structures need not be considered, wpd has found a way to alleviate these concerns and accommodate these structures. The solution was

NEW PLAN FOR FAIRGOUNDS WIND TURBINES

(See “New Fairview” on page 3)

by Brad HoldenAfter 139 days of testimony over 13 months, the hearing into Walker Aggregates’ proposed Duntroon Quarry expansion came to an end on Wednesday, June 1. Throughout the hearing, the Consolidated Hearings Board (consisting of two Ontario Municipal Board members and one representative of the Ministry of Natural Resources) was presented with tens of thousands of pages of evidence, 389 additional exhibits, and testimony from experts, participants and members of the public. The parties to the hearing were Walker Aggregates, Simcoe County, Clearview Township, the Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC), the Clearview Community Coalition (CCC) and quarry neighbour Emelia Franks. They each called expert witnesses in a range of disciplines – from traffic to blasting, hydrogeology, ecology, planning and others – to testify on their behalf. The board also received written and heard verbal submissions from

such groups and individuals as the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario, the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority, Walker employees, local businesses and residents living in the vicinity of the quarry.

Next in the hearing process is for written arguments to be presented to the board by Walker, the Township and County by June 24, followed by arguments by the NEC, the CCC and Franks by July 15. Walker, the Township and County will then have an opportunity to present their reply arguments by July 29.

Following that, the three panel members will deliberate. Chris Conti, the chairman of the hearing panel, acknowledged the complexity of the case on the last day of the hearing and assured the parties that time will be taken to weigh the evidence carefully.

While much of the above information came from a Walker Aggregates press release, the Echo was not able get a comment from company president Ken

Testimony wraps up on Duntroon quarry expansionLucyshyn, who was on a “much-needed vacation,” according to Walker communications consultant Tricia Hellingman.

Clearview Community Coalition spokesperson Janet Gillham, meanwhile, told us that the “CCC is optimistic that the hearing officers have heard compelling evidence from the Niagara Escarpment Commission and the Clearview Community Coalition; evidence that will lead them to the conclusion that locating a quarry near the highest point on the Niagara Escarpment next to sensitive natural heritage features and on the watershed divide is not in the public interest; that a Road Settlement that will lead to the closure of a County Road is not in the public interest; and that the industrialization of this rural/recreational area is not in the public interest.”

It’s anticipated the board’s ruling on the expansion application will come sometime this fall.

ROCK AND RIDE The Stayner Collegiate Institute gym was transformed into a bizarre combination of an intense fitness centre and a heavy metal rave party on Wednesday, as an “Inside Ride” fundraiser was held for Creemore cyclist and cancer survivor Vicki Dunleavy (right, with Inside Ride co-ordinator Larry Optis). Dunleavy is participating in this year’s Tour for Kids (www.tourforkids.com/ontario). The Inside Ride, which raised $4,500 to battle kid’s cancer, featured teams of six competing for the most kilometres “cycled” over two hours. With music pumping and Optis’ partner Michael Sharpe (see more photos on page 6; he’s the one with the long hair) playing the rock star ringleader role, this was truly an impressive fundraising event.

achieved with the complete cooperation of the participating landowner families, as they too approved of changes to ease neighbours’ concerns.”

Wind power opposition group Clearview WAIT, however, remains unimpressed. “This morning wpd has made public a new plan to site the eight proposed Industrial Wind Turbines on lands west of Stayner,” said the group in a press release Wednesday. “Responding to public pressure and the efforts of concerned citizens across the community, WAIT calls for your continued support in our vigil to make sure wpd understands that they are not welcome in our community. It is now more important than ever to express your concerns about the industrialization of prime agricultural land in our community.”

Wpd received a FIT contract to deliver up to 18.4 MW of electricity into the grid in April, 2010 and released their initial turbine layout in the fall of 2010. While all eight turbines were initially sited south of County Road 91, the new plan calls for four on the south side of the road, and the other four on the north side.

Information about wpd Canada, a subsidiary of a German company, can be found at www.canada.wpd.de. According to this week’s press release, residents may also call wpd at 1-888-

712-2401, ext 118 with any questions or concerns about the project.

Clearview WAIT, on the other hand, has just launched its spring

sign campaign. If you would like a sign on your property, they can be collected at Clearview Nursery, on County Road 91 west of Stayner,

between Fairgrounds Road and the 6th Line. For more information, the group can be reached by email at [email protected].

New Fairview plan calls for turbines on both sides of 91

wpd Canada will host a public open house at the Stayner Community Centre on Wednesday, July 13 to introduce the public to the new site plan for its “Fairview Wind Project.” As seen above, the proposal is now to group the turbines tightly around County Road 91, with two outliers on either side of Fairgrounds Road, one sideroad to the south.


COLUMN ThE WAy WE WERE

Dear Editor,I am writing in response to Gary Page’s letter

published Friday, June 3, 2011. I wanted to acknowledge that at TD we take this kind of activity very seriously – fraud hurts everyone, and we continue to work with the industry and authorities to prevent and fight it.

In addition, we continue to put significant resources toward protecting our customers and have increased security around our ATMs to help us spot suspicious transactions even more quickly.

Mr. Page gave an excellent overview of ATM fraud technology currently on the market. I want to reiterate his recommendation that customers should protect their PIN numbers, read their statements and check their transactions regularly, and, if they do see something suspicious, to contact us immediately.

I’d like to thank Mr. Page for taking the time to alert your readers to this important issue. It is only by educating ourselves on such a problem that we can begin to combat it.

2010 WINNER

The decision to keep Duntroon Central Public School open or to close it in June 2012 goes before the Simcoe County District School Board next Thursday, June 16.

This is the final step in the process the school board calls an accommodation review, or in plainer language, a review of where, in this case, our Duntroon elementary students should go to school.

In order to get to this point, the board formed a committee called the Accommodation Review Committee, known affectionately as the ARC. It was made up of board staff, school principals and ten representatives of the Clearview schools and the community.

For those readers who have been following the progress of the ARC in the Echo you will recall that the board decided once again to review the future of Duntroon in December 2009 and the ARC first met in September 2010. At that time the ARC members were told that the staff recommendation would be to close Duntroon CPS in June 2011. (This date was later changed to June 2012). Since then the ARC has completed its work and presented its final recommendation to the board on April 4, 2011.

The board staff has maintained their position throughout the process that declining enrolment, especially in Duntroon, has negatively impacted program delivery and the ability to deliver quality education. No other options or solutions were presented by the staff to overcome these perceived difficulties. While the board staff did agree to several of the ARC recommendations, they did not agree to keep Duntroon open long enough to see if they would benefit Duntroon.

As a member of the ARC I am very proud to say that the committee was recognized for having presented both a very comprehensive and innovative final report. In contrast to the staff recommendation, the ARC concentrated on recommendations that would attract new enrolment, enhance education programs and seek community partnerships that would benefit all the Clearview elementary schools as well as Duntroon.

The ARC was supported by an overwhelming consensus from parents, students and the community at large, that Duntroon CPS in particular and rural schools in general provide our students with as good or better an education when compared to their larger urban counterparts. As well, the ARC received very strong support from local and provincial governments.

Clearview Council and staff made very clear statements during the public meetings that Duntroon should remain open and that student enrolment will

increase with identified new residential growth; a point the board staff continues not to agree with. Further, Mayor Ken Ferguson spoke directly to the Minister of Education in support of maintaining and enhancing our rural schools.

Local provincial politicians spoke out in favour of our rural schools and stated publicly that Duntroon CPS should remain open. A petition was presented to the Ontario legislature asking that the government renew its commitment to keep rural schools open.

Now the final decision rests on the shoulders of our elected school board representative, the trustees. It is this Board of Trustees that will decide whether or not to keep Duntroon open next Thursday.

So where do we stand? Well, we know that our own Trustee, Caroline Smith, stands firmly behind the ARC recommendations. We think other trustees are listening. We have also seen published comments from some trustees that bigger schools are better, more efficient; sort of like big industrial factories are more efficient than small local businesses. And, unfortunately, board staff continues to function internally as if Duntroon will close. Recently they announced cuts in Duntroon staffing. Out of respect for the students and parents and the ARC process, these decisions on staffing should have waited until the final decision by the trustees.

The plain fact is that being bigger is not what makes urban schools better. It has much more to do with how any school forms a vital part of a community, how students interact with each other and their teachers, and how dedicated caring teaches make educating our youth work within their community setting. By all accounts Duntroon CPS is that kind of school.

If you think that Duntroon should remain open, email the trustees at [email protected]. And please join us next Thursday, June 16 at 6 pm, at the board offices in Midhurst, to show visible support for our rural community schools.

There were 5 9 o u t f o r cards today, and Bob Veale welcomed Ron and Sandra Johnston, May Johnston’s son and daughter-in-law who are visiting from BC. Ron and Sandra have joined us other years, and it’s always nice to see them again. Bob also welcomed newcomer Bob MacNichol, who joined us for cards today. Bob then announced that we would be having a catered lunch at St. John’s United Church at 12 noon on June 16. This is always a delicious meal. Ruby Klinck then read us some short, cute zingers, which we all enjoyed.

The 50/50 draws went to Wilma Zeggil, Bob Veale, Mercedes Veinot, Marg Hope, Alinda Bishop, Audrey Fines, Marj Thomson and Joan Monaghan.

Moon shots came in pairs to a lot of people today, with Norma Johnston, Bert Douglas, Carol Faulkner and Barb Pilon all getting two. Singles went to Mercedes Veinot , Ron Johnston, Dave Smith and Doreen Murray. Doreen won the travelling prize and Dave took the Sidewinders

loot.High scorers were Bert Douglas

285, Barb Pilon 271, Ray Broad 270 and Carol Faulkner and George Blackney, tied with 268. Low was Jim Rigney with – ouch! – 19 points.

We finished our day with a lovely lunch. Then, when Irma Flack went to leave the Legion, she discovered that her purse was missing – but there was an extra purse there that looked a lot like hers. It wasn’t long before Eileen Giffen discovered that the purse she was carrying didn’t have anything that belonged to her in it – so she brought Irma’s purse back and picked up her own. This happens off and on as a lot of purses look alike, and if yours gets moved down from where you left it and a look-a-like is in its place – Voila! Somebody has a new purse. But they always bring them back, especially when the find that the car keys in there just won’t start their car!

There is an upcoming luncheon euchre at Clougher Hall on Tuesday, June 14. This means you arrive in time to have lunch, and then play euchre and have an enjoyable get together with no dishes to wash! The cost is $8 for the afternoon.

Our neighbour Maurice Weatherall brought over some photos that his daughter Maureen’s better half, Russ Talbot, took down at the Avening

Reunion. He took some nice shots, but I found the ones of the Avening “kids” who are now all grown-ups were great. I believe that Russ is starting a business in photography, and it seems to me that he has a great eye for it.

There was a very well-attended 60th Wedding Anniversary Party at the Station on the Green for Tom and June Montgomery this past weekend. These get togethers are a great way to see folks that you don’t meet up with all the time, so they’re a nice time to catch up on the family type of news. Anyway, a lovely gathering for a nice couple – and may you enjoy many more years together.

We had a Rama bus this week, and my thanks to Irma Flack for taking over checking people on to go to Rama and then making sure they were all on board to come home. Thanks again to Norma Johnston as well, who I’m told had chocolate in the candy she provided. Way to go, Norma! Our next trip will be on Tuesday, July 5.

In last week’s Echo, the Ruminating Rusticator brought up the subject of seniors’ driving abilities. He does have a fair to middling idea about how badly a person can be everything from isolated to ignored if they can’t get out to join in all the events that they would normally take for granted. Just the freedom to go to the store, the library, etc. when you want to, not just when someone “happens” to be going, is worth a million.

And – one doesn’t have to be really old to be a challenge as a driver. I remember when I worked at Irwin’s Dry Goods Store (across the street from the Drug Store) back in the 1950s, when Dr. Stubbings had his practice just west on Caroline Street. Well, Dr. Stubbings wasn’t all that old, but he was very, very forgetful. So everyone in town knew that when “Stubby” took off from his office, he drove east on Caroline Street and swooped left (north) on Mill Street, always without stopping. But everyone knew that you could depend on the fact that by the time he got about in front of the bank, he would remember that he had to stop. And stop he did, right then and there. He would tramp on the brakes with all his might, and the car would screech and nose dive and quit moving. If the car behind him was a local, they stayed way back, knowing this was going to happen. He also went through the same procedure at the north end of town, where he never stopped at the stop sign. But before long he would remember, and the same procedure ensured. But Creemore only had about 700 people, and there were several folks with driving idiosyncrasies that everyone took in their stride.

Now, instead of training other folks in defensive driving, they start to think about taking the drivers’ license away. This sure takes the sense of adventure out of a trip uptown!

JIM’S 50 PLUS SEMINAR

JimWilsonMPP - Simcoe-Grey

DANCE PARTy AS FITNESS! ALL FOR KID’S CANCER! Forgive the exclamation marks, but after viewing the Inside Ride event at SCI this week, the enthusiasm is impossible to shake. For more pictures of the crazy energy that took over school’s gym during the fundraising event for Vicki Dunleavy’s Tour for Kids ride, check out this week’s gallery at www.creemore.com.


Hello! I’m Darlene Gardner. I’m working with the Collingwood G&M Hospital on contract in Accounts Receivable.

I’ve been here at the G&M for a brief period of time but feel that I have a great connection with the caring and friendly staff here. I live in the area with my family, my husband of 32 years, my son and daughter and my very new grandson!

I really enjoy working with the team at the G&M. I believe that healthcare is an important function in our community and one that requires a lot of fi nancial support.

When I’m not working I like camping, gardening and spending time with my family. I have two Border Collies – Tucker & Mollie. They are very smart and loyal animals, they bring so much joy to my life!

At the G&M we’ve got lots of challenges ahead but remember -

We’re ALL in this together.

FOR ThE LOVE OF TRAILS While heavy rain and lightning cancelled the trail walks, Clearview Township was still able to celebrate Trails Appreciation Day under the roof of the New Lowell Pavilion last Saturday. In this picture, students from Ms. Barron’s 2010 class at New Lowell Public School receive a plaque from Mayor Ken Ferguson in recognition of the mapping exercise they completed for the Clearview Trails Subcommittee, highlighting where they thought trails and sidewalks were most needed in their community.

SWINGIN’ IN ThE STATION The Creemore Farmers’ Market was also washed out last Saturday, but that didn’t stop the award-winning CCI Jazz Band from delivering an impressive set before a crowd of about 100 people in the Station on the Green, part of the Market’s first annual Music Day.

MEET ThE NEW BOSS Rent-A-Youth has a new co-ordinator this summer: Michael Craig, son of Glen Huron residents David and Darlene. Michael is in the middle of a business degree at Acadia University, and is looking forward to the organizational and community aspects of the Rent-A-Youth job. For those wanting to speak to him about having one of his team of 32 teens (so far) do some work for them, call (705) 466-3663.

I just arrived back from our 6th annual Patchwork Tour to the Amish areas of Indiana and Ohio. We choose to travel with Hamilton Tours every year because of Susanne Hamilton, our favourite tour director, and Jack, our bus driver. Susanne and I sit down in January and decide where we will go; she then starts creating magic by fine tuning our trips to include retail therapy (fabric shopping), lots of activities, games on the bus, jokes, funny videos, good CDs and more.

We are so busy catching up with old friends, chatting, looking forward to our next fabric shop and eating (great Amish food!), our miles fly by. This trip included a visit to a quilt shop with 15,000 bolts of fabric, a 100-year-old Dentzel Carousel, a famous quilt designer named Shirley Shenk , a famous carver named Ernest Warther. His wife’s button house, with 90,000 buttons displayed, their famous kitchen cutlery business and gift shop and his carving studio are all in Dover, Ohio.

We had a visit to Shipshewana Flea Market (the biggest in the Midwest!) and the Sugar Creek Shops, and took an Amish tour through the back roads with our guide Sarah Troyer. We visited a business called

An Amish Adventure“Care & Share,” with all products made by local Amish people with special needs. There were baskets, birdhouses, quilted items, etc. to buy.

L a t e r t h a t d a y w e were served supper at an Amish farm owned by a young couple with eight

kids. After supper they sang for us. Everything was homemade or homegrown. The buttered noodles and homemade black raspberry pie were amazing, as was their homemade salad dressing. I asked the wife to share the recipe, so here it is:

On our last day we visited a petting farm where we met “Big Ben,” the largest Belgian in Holmes County. The farm was called Hershberger’s Farm & Bakery; they had jams, pickles, cheese, bread, etc. for sale.

We arrived home educated, relaxed and oh so tired. What a great trip.

by Fred MillsCreemore travelled to Tillsonburg, for a tournament last weekend. Brad Grieveson took to the hill against Glanbrook on Friday and pitched the win, allowing 3 hits while fanning 11. The Braves had 6 hits with Robert Kingham and Chris Greer each having a pair. Final score Creemore 3, Glanbrook 1.

The Braves returned to the field on Sunday to face Sarnia. Matt Baldry took the loss, allowing 8 hits and striking out 7 batters. Creemore only could muster 4 hits and they went to Baldry, Ryan Bartley, Brett Trott and Todd Gowan, who went deep over the fence. Sarnia won the game 3-2.

Creemore then faced the host team with Ryan Bartley pitching for the win, allowing just 5 hits and striking out 10. The Braves bats banged out 17 hits, with Curt Barrett having 4 hits. Ryan Bartley had 3 and Chris Greer and Todd Gowan both had 2. Final score: 9-3 for Creemore.

C r e e m o r e h e a d e d i n t o t h e consolation final against Markham. Brad Grieveson took the ball and the loss, giving up 6 hits and striking out 7. The Braves bats went silent, with only 2 hits that went to Brett Trott and Jeff Akitt. Markham 5, Creemore 0.

On Tuesday, Creemore returned to league play when they hosted the Bolton “A” Brewers. Brett Trott took to the mound and only lasted 2 innings, giving up 6 runs on 6 hits.Steve Westbrooke threw the next two, also allowing 6 runs on 6 hits. The “wiley veteran” Dan Gowan then came in to pitch the final 3 innings, giving up 4 runs on 4 hits. Despite the Braves pounding out 15 hits themselves, Creemore’s undefeated season ended with a 16-10 loss.

The Braves will next hit the diamond on Saturday, June 11 at 6 pm in Lisle to play Angus.

Note: The Saturday, June 11 game against Ivy has been moved to Sunday, June 12 at 1 pm in Ivy.

Braves take first loss

Summer has arrived a bit early, with the heat and thunderstorms, but what happened to wonderful spring? The blossoms seemed to come out one day and be gone the next. Let’s hope we are more settled weather-wise in the weeks to come.

Weather really dampened the ground on Saturday morning for the Clearview Trail Mixer held at the New Lowell Recreation Park. I was amazed at the kindred spirits that did come and take part in the fun.

The music, organized and supplied by Keith White of Angus, was one of the highlights and uplifting events of the morning. Susan Michelchuck of the New Lowell Public School mustered up the food, with bacon on the bun and lots of hot coffee. The candy floss machine was running most of the morning for the usual sugar fix that most of us needed. The children’s games under the direction of Tammy Samuels of the New Lowell School were almost rained out, but she managed to revive a few so the children could win a special prize. Ms. Hartley (New Lowell P.S.) sold the tickets for Betsy Bingo, but the actual event was cancelled so they flipped a coin and the coin dropped on Debra Perry’s square. Congratulations, Deb!

The raffle draw will take place on Friday at the school, just before the Jump Rope for Heart event. The

individual theme baskets donated by the classes of the school were a hit and brought lots of happy smiles to the winners of the silent auction.

If you wished a dry place you only had to go across the street to the Library, where lots of fun things

were happening in relation to Black Bears, thanks to our library resource people, Janice Harvey and Michele McKenzie. There were stories, books and pictures of what to do when camping if you experience a sighting of our native bears.

The Trail events naturally had to be cancelled but we will hope Mother Nature will treat the event with sunshine next year. A big thank you to all that took part from the Township down through the schools and the library. This was yet another example of how the community can come together and have some informative good times.

The New Lowell Public School will be coming to a year end close on June 29. Graduation is on June 28. We wish the grads a future full of great experiences and lots of learning. Some of our young people will also be the first Grade 9 class to enter the new high school in Angus.

Talking about communities, the Brentwood Community Centre has some upcoming events that I am sure you will want to attend. On June 18 at

8 pm, come on over for an evening of outdoor “Red Neck Movies.” Bring the family for hotdogs, movies, popcorn, etc. All you need is a lawn chair, riding lawn mower or ATV and be ready to sit back and enjoy. This, of course, is weather permitting. Also mark your calendar for August 20, when the annual Corn Roast will be happening at the Centre. The monies profited from these events are absolutely necessary to keep our local Community Centre in operation.

The New Lowell Legion is hosting their annual Golf Tournament at the Wasaga Sands on June 11. You will play 18 holes and be rewarded with a tasty steak dinner and prizes back at the New Lowell Legion. The cost is $85 for the day of fun. Please contact George Peacock or Jim Erwin at 705-424-6681 for further information. Keep yours eyes on the sign at the Legion or on this column for the date of the Annual Pig Roast in July. This is a family event that you don’t want to miss. Just a reminder that Friday nights continue to offer tasty wings and Karaoke at the New Lowell Legion. The Legion would like to thank all those that came and enjoyed their Country and Western Evening. This was a sold out event.

The New Lowell United Church would like to thank all those that supported their annual Garage Sale on May 22. The Church would also like to invite you to their 138th Anniversary on Sunday, June 12. This will be a

special service with worship and the Charge Joint Choir under the direction of Evelyn Mugford. This is a Joint Service for Avening United and St. John’s of Creemore and starts at 11 am with a lunch to follow.

The Sunday School of New Lowell invites all their children to a special wind up pizza party on June 14 starting at 6 pm.

You will have remembered the article I wrote about two local people, Martin Van Adrichem and Corinne Thurlow who are travelling to Cambodia for the month of June to build sand filtration wells as well as participate in the construction of a school house. They have begun their journey and wish to thank all of the community that helped them out for this special volunteer experience. Special thanks to Brenda Wheel for her expert catering of a Beef Dinner, the Lions Club of Stayner, The Barrie Rotary Club, Father Darren for the donation of the Hall, Annette Van Adichem and Lindal Thurlow and all those who offered prayers for this endeavour. Martin and Corinne wish to invite you to a slideshow of their experiences on June 29 at 6 pm for coffee/tea at the Brentwood Hall.

Please remember that the children are enjoying the freedom of summer and sometimes don’t remember the safety rules of the road.

If you have any special news please call me at 705-424-6497 or email [email protected].

IN MEMORIAM PARDy – In loving memory of my dear husband, Claude Milton Pardy, who passed away June 13, 2010.

Heaven’s gate swung gently open, The Master called softly “Come” And you dear oneTook the Master’s handAnd your work on earth was done.We’ll never cease to miss youAnd shed many silent tears,Because we cannot share with you,Our hopes, our joys, our fears.But one day in God’s garden,When the Master calls us to come,You’ll be at the gates with open armsAnd say to us “Welcome Home”.
