HARD WORK PAYS OFF A few weeks ago, we printed a picture of the Station on the Green board members sorting through a chaotic pile of books at the Curling Club. At 8 am last Saturday, the fruits of their labour were obvious, with the Station transformed into the ultimate used book shop. Six hours later, the books were gone and more than $6,000 had been raised for the building’s upkeep and maintenance.

Happy Thanksgiving!

PETS IN THE PEWS It was all about the four-legged friends at St. Luke’s Anglican Church’s annual “Blessing of the Animals” service last Sunday. Receiving their blessings from Rev. Cathy Miller were, left to right, Willow, Horsey, Lucy and Rosco.

by Brad HoldenOne of the final bylaws to be considered by this term of Council was previewed in draft form on Monday night – a towing bylaw that would regulate towing companies, their trucks, drivers, compounds and rate schedules. It would also limit companies allowed to respond to police calls to those with compounds in or within two kilometres of Township borders.

The proposed bylaw is in response to an OPP standing order stating police would only call companies with compounds within the local detachment’s boundaries unless municipalities have their own regulatory bylaw. As several companies outside of Clearview have traditionally operated here, Council directed staff to create a bylaw.

It’s expected a public meeting regarding the bylaw will occur sometime in November.

COUNCIL LOOKS AT TOWING BYLAW

A NOTE FROM MAYORAL CANDIDATE FOR MULMUR

PAUL MILLSAn email was recently sent to many Mulmur residents implying I could not be trusted on the wind farm issue, despite my quite clear stated opposition to it. In short, it suggested I would not keep my word to vigorously reject wind turbines.

Seven years ago, I had a wind test tower on my property and supported the Green Energy concept. I have changed my mind.

Over the last several years we have learned much about wind power’s liabilities as a Green Energy source, especially its probable threat to human health. While I still believe in the Green Energy idea, wind power in Mulmur is the wrong technology in the wrong place.

Will I live up to my commitment against wind power? I have spent my lifetime doing what I said I would do! As a famous Canadian once said: “Just watch me!”

HEAD TO HEAD IN CREEMORE Candidates for Wards 3, 4, Deputy Mayor and Mayor participated in a well-attended, Creemore Echo-sponsored all-candidates meeting at the Creemore Arena Hall last Sunday. From left to right are Brent Preston, Dave Huskinson, Jace Metheral, Marc Royal, Thom Paterson, Michael Bennett, Eric Jelinski, Alicia Savage, Ken Ferguson and Chris Vanderkruys.

A questionnaire distributed by the Clearview Community Coalition (CCC), a group opposing the proposed new quarry on the Niagara Escarpment west of Duntroon, shows a division of opinion between current Councillors and their challengers.

None of the challengers support the agreement between the Township and Walker Industries to downgrade part of County Road 91 from a County to a Township road and to close part of it to facilitate the new quarry. As part of the agreement the Township is supporting Walker’s application for an amendment to the Niagara Escarpment Plan and the Township’s

lawyer, planners and consultants are appearing at the ongoing provincial hearing into the matter.

The only incumbent who declared his non-support for the agreement was Councillor Thom Paterson.

A l l o f t h e r e s p o n s e s t o t he ques t i onna i r e a r e pos t ed o n t h e C C C ’ s w e b s i t e a t clearviewcommunitycoaltion.com. CCC president Janet Gil lham encourages voters “to read the responses and vote for the candidates who you believe will promote a sus ta inab le economy, p ro tec t Clearview’s natural heritage and support our rural way of life.”

LETTERS

To the Editor:In your last week’s edition, an ad appeared from

the supporters of Thom Paterson to show their support and enthusiasm for him since Thom had elected to take his signs down. I suggest that in the future they curb their enthusiasm a bit and double-check their information as in this case neither Doug nor I were contacted about the ad or asked permission to have our names included.

No matter which candidate had called us for support, we as business owners cannot and will not publicly take political sides.

We wish all the candidates from Clearview the best of luck.

Doug and Ursula Abbott, Creemore

Letter to The Editor:When Thom Paterson decided to remove his

election signs, a few of his friends decided to run an advertisement in the Echo supporting his dedicated work as Ward 4 Councillor.

I took on the responsibility of organizing the names of Thom’s friends for that ad. The names came to me by scores of emails, telephone messages and personal commitments.

Of the 184 names on the list by Echo press closing time, three names were incorrectly included. Three people did not give their approval. It was my error entirely that their names appeared as “Friends of Thom Paterson” and I have apologized to Ursula Abbott, Terry Nash and Mike Bennett’s best friend, whose name Mike would not share with me.

Thom was not involved in the making of this ad. The error was mine. I am sorry for any embarrassment to Ursula, Terry and Mike’s best friend. There is an

Dear Editor:This letter proposes that we restore the history of

this Township by not being numbered through the Ward System but by a name.

A sensible outcome would be that we would easily understand the identity of each ward, and its location in the Township. Comments were made at the Dunedin Hall all-candidates’ meeting of the potential cost. For administration purposes the numbers could remain if it is so blessed expensive to restore history and have geographical interest. The Councillors and constituents could simply refer to the names of the wards when talking of their ward, therefore avoiding the comment at the end of each conversation: “and

email address, should there be any further corrections: [email protected].

Reet Shearer, Clearview Township

where might that be?”The names could very well be as follows:• Ward 1: Northwest Nottawasaga• Ward 2: Centre Nottawasaga • Ward 3: Southwest Nottawasaga• Ward 4: Creemore & Southeast Nottawasaga• Ward 5: Stayner & North Sunnidale• Ward 6: South Sunnidale• Ward 7: Stayner & Centre-east Nottawasaga If you think that the names are long, so is the name

of Canada’s most easterly province of Newfoundland & Labrador.

LETTER

Should electoral ward names reflect history?

This wonderful panorama appears to have been taken from the Creemore cemetery, looking north, on October 2, 1901. The farm in the foreground is the one John Wiggins owned for many years, and two bridges are visible – an older version of the Collingwood Street bridge on the left and the now-relegated-to-memory bridge at the foot of Mill Street on the right. Thanks to Marg Miller for bringing us this great picture.

Now that the ballots have been sent out (and in many cases sent back) and most of the all-candidates meetings have ended, the 2010 municipal election has officially entered the Twilight Zone.

Though most of the votes have been cast, and most of the candidates know it, those hopeful to gain or retain a seat on local Councils must keep campaigning for the next two weeks, thanks to the bizarre schedule that results from the “mail-in” election.

It can be argued that mail-in votes are good for areas like Clearview and Mulmur, since many property owners are weekenders, and may not be around on Election Day. It also makes it easier for those who are infirm to participate.

But it sure doesn’t feel like the elections of old, when there was one special day where we would all line up to mark our ballots in whatever school gym or community hall to which we were summoned.

And the campaigns don’t feel the same either. Candidates have just two weeks from the nomination deadline to the day ballots are mailed out – two weeks to knock on hundreds of doors, mail out hundreds of brochures and get their message out at several all-candidates nights.

Now, for the next two weeks, we’ll wait. Candidates will continue knocking on doors, and in all honesty, with municipal election turnout sitting at less than 40 per cent the past few elections, there are still a lot of votes to be won if people who’ve never voted can be convinced that now is the time to start.

But for the most part, those of us who traditionally vote have voted, and we all now have our eyes on October 25, when the ballots will, somewhat anticlimactically, be counted.

In the meantime, let’s hope things don’t get too surreal on the campaign trail.

And now we wait...

Dear Editor:I am writing to you today to express

my thanks for the effort the Creemore Echo contributed to the All-Candidates Meeting held at the Creemore Arena last Sunday.

I was so impressed with the quality of the candidates who were running for the various positions on Clearview Council. The turnout by the public was great.

But I have to admit that I was very disappointed by some of the information that I heard.

It was represented by one of the candidates that in the last municipal election only 30 per cent of registered voters actually cast a ballot. This is atrocious for such a fine community as Creemore and Clearview Township. Municipal elections are the very backbone of our democracy. Council is where individuals can be heard in an open gallery, where a ripple in the pond can turn into a giant wave.

Municipal government decisions affect our lives on a daily basis. Decisions about our tax dollars, snow removal, school closures, recreational issues, etc., these decisions touch the very heart of our communities.

The very essence of our right to vote was created by the signing of the Magna Carta on June 15, 1215 by King John of England. This very

document guarantees government by representation and is an 800-year-old privilege. Let’s stop taking it for granted and assuming that our neighbours and friends will vote the way we would.

My wife and I moved to Creemore three years ago and make this village our permanent residence. Although my business commitments force my wife and I to commute to Toronto everyday, we commute back every night because Creeemore is our home. We love this village. This is where we are going to spend the rest of our lives. When friends and family come to visit they all say how lucky we are to live in such a community. We moved to Creemore, we live and shop in Creemore, we were married in Creemore.

I just don’t understand why all residents are not standing up and protecting our heritage and concerns on such issues as saving the Collingwood Street bridge, being involved in the Creemore Brewery expansion issues, school closings, wind turbines, etc.

Creemore was rated as one of the 10 prettiest towns in Canada by Harrowsmith Magazine. Our local retailers sell pins to tourists that call us “The Little Village with the Big Heart.” Well Creemore, it’s time to “stop talking the talk and start walking the walk.” Agree with or disagree

with me! Get out and vote for the candidates for Council Mayor and Deputy Mayor that can best represent your concerns about Creemore and Clearview Township.

I give my sincere thanks to all residents who have taken a position and tried to make a difference on all issues facing Creemore.

Barry Burton, Creemore

Dear Editor:It was interesting this week to read

all about the concerns, problems and achievements that the people running for Council presented. However, I feel that I must address Michael Bennett’s claim about being the co-ordinator of the Tour de Creemore.

The Tour de Creemore is a bicycle ride put on and organized by a lovely couple from the city, Kimchan and Mayee Ramrattan. In 1999, when we first purchased the Old Mill House, this little run was handed over to us by the pub’s original owners, Chris and Tara Mueller. It consisted of about 20 bikers raising money for a Red Door women’s shelter in Toronto. As the years went on their little bike ride grew to between 120 and 150 riders, and eventually became the Tour de Creemore.

Kim and Mayee are the true fundraisers for this event, using the Old Mill House as a base point. They do all the setup and cleanup and organization

of the events, and then the riders return for lunch.

Now I do believe in giving credit where credit is due, but the true co-ordination on the side of the Old Mill House for this event belongs to the kitchen staff, who over nine years worked long and hard to figure out how to feed all these cyclists in two hours and whom are all arriving at staggered intervals. So in all fairness I feel local credit for co-ordinating this event should go to Kelly Dobson, Heather Payment and Shawna Gillen, who worked tirelessly in the kitchen on ways to improve service to this group. Also to Blanche Heck, who for 10 years or more did the same for service at the front end.

Good job, guys. To Mayee and Kim, may your fundraising efforts always be appreciated for years to come.

Moon shots (17 of them!) were played by George Blakney, Bob Veale (3!), Roy Veinot, Jim Rigney (2), Warren Gale (2), Doreen Murray , Beverly Nelson (2) , Marge Douglas, Pat Broad and Dave Smith three moon shots and the travelling prize while Bob Veale took the Sidewinders loot.

High scorers were Jim Rigney 318, Bev Nelson 301, Barb Pilon 271 and Dave Smith 267. Low was Mercedes Veinot with 98. Earl Bentley tallied 115 points, which

matched the hidden score of 115, so he took home an unexpected $7. This prize will start at $5 again next week.

St. John’s United Church held a very well-attended fowl supper last week. There were people there that I hadn’t seen in years.

For instance, Grace Ferguson. She and her brother Ralph went to public school when I did. Grace was a bit ahead of me, and Ralph was younger – probably around brother Jerry Jordan’s age. The Fergusons lived just back of the Creamery on Edward Street East. Grace and her husband live in the Niagara area, and they were up by Meaford checking out the scarecrows and they accidently lucked into the church supper. On a sad note, Grace mentioned that Ralph has been dead for about 12 years. I also saw Gordon Weatherall and his wife at the supper and they, too, had accidently managed to be at the right place at the right time. Gordon is a brother to Stan , Maurice and Doug Weatherall and Verna (Weatherall) Coker. Billy Powers and her first cousin (whose father, or

possibly grandfather, taught school at Randwick many years ago) were there as was Bev (Coulter) Bently from the Corn Hill area with her cousin Laura (Coulter) Jardine. Then there was Jim and Marilyn Steed, and Jim informed me that those “giant marshmallows” (Big round hay bales wrapped in white plastic) that Jim has out in rows on his farm “just don’t taste all that good!” What a bummer! Just imagine all the Rice Krispie squares one could produce with marshmallows that size!

We had a Rama bus trip this past Tuesday, and we would like to thank all you folks that travelled with us. You see, I collect five dollars from each person going on the bus, and that goes straight into our Senior’s coffers. Rama pays Great Canadian (the bus company) to transport us up and back. The $5 per passenger isn’t a lot for each person to pay, but it surely does give our Senior’s a big boost as we have one trip every month. We have been fortunate to have several people go faithfully every month when it is at all possible, and we really appreciate this as sometimes it is very difficult to round up enough passengers to keep this service available. For some seniors, it is their one trip a month “out of town” and they look forward to i t (and we are also looking

forward to you being able to travel with us again, Vera Pettigrew.) Not all our passengers are seniors – you just have to be 19 years of age or more. We usually have a fun trip. You can probably imagine the tom foolery going on when you put Barb Cudmore, Marie Blohm, Phyllis Seed , Ray Leighton , Marjory Rolfe, Norma Johnston and others together in a big tin can for an hour or more! We would like to thank Norma Johnston for the goodies, and Marie Blohm , Lori Keith , Ellen Whitley and Phyllis Seed for the jokes, along with my friend Red Coppell and others from Alberta for their input. It is greatly appreciated. By the way, Ray Leighton and Marion Kelly nearly came much too “up close and personal” with a big buck deer that ran right in front of Ray’s vehicle, and he had to do a bit of fancy “Macgyving” to miss it. Then Ron and June Hartley had two deer bounce out in front of them on Riverside Drive west of Creemore when they were on their way to town on Tuesday morning. It is bow hunting season, I believe, so maybe that is what is pushing the deer out of the bush more than usual.

A belated Happy Anniversary goes out to Steve and Phyllis Seed on the occasion of their 63rd Anniversary on October 4. All the best to you both.

At my retirement party back in April I mentioned t h a t a f t e r s e t t l i n g i n Connecticut I had hoped to write a regular column for the Echo – something like “View from the Other Side.” Now it’s six months later and there’s still no story. Why? Because we have not yet settled in Connecticut, our intended new home is in legal limbo, and we are actually homeless.

The situation is boringly complex, but basically comes down to the builder going bankrupt the week before our scheduled closing date. This was quickly followed by a bunch of sub-contractors slapping mechanic’s liens on the property in an effort to get paid. The case is now in bankruptcy court, with teams of lawyers representing all the

various parties trying to arrive at some settlements. The new mortgage holder is a hedge fund, who has no interest in selling and building houses, just in making money by flipping the whole thing. Probably the most frustrating part of the problem is that no one knows how long this process will take, with the latest “best guess” being early 2011.

An obvious alternative is to find another house. But we chose this particular adult lifestyle development after months of research, and then had the opportunity to design the house to our wishes. We have since revisited all the other communities we considered the first time around, only to reinforce that we made the best choice.

So we are technically homeless. Meanwhile our furniture, clothes and personal goods remain in storage in Owen Sound. Our original plan had things in storage for just a month, so as Barbara put it, we just kept out shorts, tee-shirts and flip-flops. Our moving company has been helpful and

understanding, but they had to acknowledge that it would be cheaper for us to buy some new cold weather clothes than to go through all the containers trying to find things. This may sound like a great chance for a new wardrobe, but it really isn’t.

The mantra for this kind of situation is the old bromide “things happen for a reason.” We truly do believe that and have also discovered a bright side. We have been able to spend considerable time with our children and grandchildren, which was the whole reason for the move in the first place. We have also been able to do quite a bit of travelling, including a recent fall colours trip around Lake Huron. But best of all, we have been blessed by the endless kindness and generosity of our many friends here in Creemore. Without this support we would be suffering from the true despair that destitute people without homes must feel. We will be forever grateful.

So while that regular column will have to wait, I will leave you with a few observations from our travels on the other side of the border. Americans are not as angry as those constant news clips about the Tea Party would lead you to believe. That said, the run-up to the November elections contains a worrisome degree of crazy people and ideas. Americans living close to the border are quite aware of Canada, and, in fact, several expressed the wish to live here. While we Canadians are not blameless on this matter, the number of overweight Americans is truly staggering. No wonder so many there are worried about health care costs bankrupting the country!

More to come, hopefully sooner rather than later.

For lovers of Canadian art the arrival this fall of an abundant harvest of new books is a very exciting prospect. Defiant Spirits: the Modernist Revolution of the Group of Seven by award-winning author Ross King and Painters Eleven: The Wild Ones of Canadian Art by Iris Nowell focus on two important art movements in Canadian art history.

King’s book begins in 1912 with Tom Thomson and A.Y. Jackson heading out on a painting trip to Algonquin Park. In 1912 Thomson was still a painter of limited skill, but Jackson had already studied art in Montreal and in Europe and was showing in his art the influence of the expressionist style seen in the

work of European artists. Many of the eventual Group of Seven met while working at a printing firm, Grip Ltd, in Toronto and by 1914 had established studio space together in Toronto. The author deftly weaves together the individual lives of eight painters, those who were to

become The Group of Seven in 1920 and Thomson, who died tragically in 1917. Not only is this an in-depth biography of each of the men but also an accounting of the Canadian scene, politically and socially, from the perspective of art exhibitions and the controversy around the “innovative style” of Thomson and the Group. There are many black and white photographs of the artists and

some colour plates, but it is the author’s thorough research and clear writing that tells this compelling story. The book has just been nominated for the 2010 Writers’ Trust Non-Fiction Prize.

Painters Eleven, on the other hand, is a sumptuously illustrated book. This is the first book about the Toronto group comprised of eleven abstract expressionist painters including Jack Bush, Harold Town and William Ronald. Nowell has devoted a chapter to each artist, comprised of a biography, interesting photographs of them, their studios, their earlier more representational work and many gorgeous full- colour plates of work in private and public collections. These painters, also defiant, were frustrated because they felt they were being overlooked and that all the attention was focused on other movements in New York, Montreal and Europe. Although many had had individual shows, they decided to make more of a statement by having a group exhibition in 1954. This definitely drew attention and criticism, but after several more shows this group of daring abstract expressionists succeeded in capturing the attention of collectors and the acclaim of the international art world. Iris Nowell, through her relationship with Harold Town, knew many of these artists very well and brings her own personal stories, anecdotes and perspective, which greatly enriches the history of this group.

Another book of note is Bateman New Works, a wonderful collection of recent works by Robert Bateman featuring over 100 full-colour reproductions

depicting birds, mammals and other wildlife. In his introduction and 10 short essays, Bateman shares his thoughts on nature, education, the environment and the role of art in the preservation of the wilderness.

A book I am looking forward to, Inuit Modern, is due out in November. This is a gorgeous retrospective on the transformation of Inuit art in the 20th century from the traditional to incorporating the influences of globalization and climate change. Essays by leading Canadian scholars examine the immense cultural, social and political changes in the Arctic which have affected the Inuit and their art.

Stunning Country Estate

We decided to take the month of September off, at least as far as the B&B is concerned. It was really nice to sleep in a few times and not have to get up so early to make breakfasts. With the extra time, we were also able to make it to a number of events and had a great time catching up with all and sundry in the village. Fall is a wonderful time to visit the Farmers’ Market (did that), attend the Harvest Festival at New Farm (did that), and go out leaf-looking (did that too).

Last but not least, for the first time in over 10 years Stephen was not on the Purple Hills Studio Tour. That meant we could actually leave the house and visit a number of studios rather than just looking at them in the annual brochure. I also got off chocolate chip cookie duty – we usually go through a great number of cookies on the tour weekend and it was nice to get a break. We couldn’t get out to see everyone’s work but we certainly enjoyed those we did see. I now have one of Hannun Lyn’s delicate little porcelain bowls to add to our growing art collection.

And as everyone knows, it’s apple-picking time again for those who love the “pick your own” season. In my case I let Bob Giffen and his capable apple experts do the selection for me.

It’s much safer that way because me on a ladder in an apple tree is a dangerous proposition indeed! As per usual, I was wracking my brains to come up with an apple-related recipe for this year. Then our friend Bev Nederpel came up to visit for the weekend. She

offered to make dessert and guess

what... it had apples in it. Problem solved.

So here’s a dessert treat that is fun for the whole family – thank you Bev. She got the recipe from a lady she works with, who makes it for every special occasion at their office. This week I am passing on the recipe which has been passed on to me. I have to admit Stephen and I were delightfully surprised at just

how yummy (and easy) this dessert is. As my sister Vicki would say when she really likes something, “It’s to die for!” It didn’t seem to have a formal name, so I created one. Hope you like it!

Feedback is great and I would love to hear from you. Email me at [email protected].

Until next time, eat well, live well....

Decadent Apple Pizza400 g Light Philly Cream Cheese, softened283 g container caramel dip (usually found around the grocery store fruit aisles)2 - 3 Skor bars2 -3 Granny Smith apples (or other tart apples)Lemon juiceWhite sugar

First, get out a nice serving plate (large, flat and round). Using a dinner knife spread the container of cream cheese in a large circle on the plate, spreading the cheese out to within 2 inches of the plate edge. Second step: the caramel dip is usually kept refrigerated, so take it out of the refrigerator and warm it up in the microwave. Be careful – you just want it soft and pliable, not melted. Using a second dinner knife, spread the caramel carefully on top and out to within 1 inch of the edge of the cream cheese. Third step: crack the chocolate covered Skor bars into small pieces, using a meat pounder or other heavy object. You want the pieces to be almost granular. Sprinkle the Skor pieces over top of the caramel. Fourth step (and you are almost done): cut the apples lengthwise into thin slices (but thick enough to stand up on their own). Push the apple slices slightly into the layers so that they stand on end, decorate the “pizza” in any pattern you want or just cover the whole thing with apple slices all standing in a row. Serve immediately. Let everyone pick out their own apple slices, and using them as dippers, scoop up the delicious mixture.

If you are not going to eat this immediately, place the plate in the refrigerator without the apples. When you slice the apples, place them in a bowl with a little lemon juice and sugar so they won’t brown. When you’re ready, take the plate out of the fridge and let it sit for 10 minutes or so. Then drain the apples, pat dry with a paper towel and decorate as outlined above. This is a great communal dessert and believe me, everyone will want to get in on the dipping action!

It’s apple time again!

On Friday, September 24, students and staff at Stayner Collegiate Institute participated in the 30th annual Terry Fox Run for cancer research. “Who Are You Walking for?” was the focus of this year’s Run. Students signed a memory wall to record the names of the people they would be honouring and wore name tags identifying those individuals during the event.

“Today we are proud to be walking for our great-grandmother, Dorothy Rusk, who passed away from cancer,” said Kaylee and Lexi Hare (above), whose family made a substantial donation, boosting Stayner Collegiate’s total to over $3,000.

The students ran/walked a five-kilometre route around Stayner Collegiate Institute and Clearview Meadows Elementary School and enjoyed apples donated by the Healthy Active Living Committee afterward.

“Stayner Collegiate has a strong history of community involvement,” said SCI principal Jane Seymour. “We are so proud of our students for coming together to support this great cause.”

Stayner Collegiate Institute is celebrating its 50th year in 2010-11. Reunion preparations are underway to observe this milestone in May 2011. Contact the school at (705) 428-2639 for more information.

by Bill MannFor its 2010 season, St Luke’s Gift of Music will present an eclectic mix of performers, instruments and musical genres. It begins on Saturday, October 23 at 7:30 pm with the Ontario Provincial Police Chorus, made up of present and past members of the force singing selections from gospel, sacred, popular and folk music as well as show tunes. We were fortunate to have them agree to come since they are in high demand, doing as many as 30 concerts a year throughout the province. We would suggest caution in your parking and driving behaviour while this group is in town!

The Urban Flute Ensemble (violin, cello and flute) from Toronto will join us on the afternoon of Sunday, November 21, providing works from a variety of musical periods covering baroque to modern, including Bach to Scott Joplin.

On Sunday, December 5, Dan LaBrash, a guitarist from the Hockley Valley, will be joined by flautist Kim Stevenson to play a selection of classical and reflective contemporary works. Many of the latter pieces have been composed by guitarist LaBrash. Dan delighted listeners at one of the venues during the recent Purple Hills garden tour.

Finally on Sunday, December 12, Cassandra Warner , one of

Gift of Music festival returns on October 23

the always popular Divas, returns having recently performed for opera companies in Europe, Montreal and Calgary. She will be joined by a tenor from the Glen Gould School. This will be Cassandra’s fourth visit to Creemore! The duo plans to sing solos and duets from the operatic and seasonal repertoire.

All the concerts will take place at St Luke’s Church on Caroline Street. Please note that the OPP concert will start at 7:30 pm on Saturday, October 23, whereas the other concerts in the series will take place at 3 pm on Sunday afternoons.

Tickets are available at Curiosity House and the Echo. The price of tickets for the first concert will be $10; the others will be $15. A package of all four concerts will be $50.

THANK YOU

I would like to thank everyone who helped at St. John’s Fowl Supper. Those who brought food, helped serve and those who attended. Special thanks to the young people who helped us through the evening. Gayle Millsap

On behalf of the Board of Creemore Station on the Green I want to say a huge “Thank You” to all those donors and buyers who made the Big Book Bash such a success. Folks were generous with their donations of used books and buyers were eager to take them home. But without a group of very dedicated and hardworking volunteers those boxes would never have been translated into the selection that was available on Saturday. Board members and friends alike came when needed and sometimes just dropped by the arena to sort and clean and stack. A very special “Thank You” to some who gave time above and beyond what was expected: Linda Coulter, Paul Ruppel, Isobel and Bill MacDougall, Cheryl Cockburn. And to the “grands” for the comic relief. Thanks also to the Curling Club which allowed us to use the rink for storing and sorting. Although it did get a little chilly when the ice-making plant was turned on at the Arena – it’s the same system. Ski jackets, boots, and gloves were a definite must. We expect to clear $6700 after expenses are paid up and this will go toward maintenance of the Station – fence repair, painting, purchase of a Defibrillator, etc. Thank you all again – see you in 2 years! Marg Purkis, Chair, Station on the Green

A recent Ipsos-Reid survey found 86% of Ontarians would like to see their municipal government encourage and facilitate wind energy development.

www.canwea.ca

Wind. For my community. Today, wind is providing clean, reliable and safe energy to over 1.2 million Canadian homes – creating social, economic and

environmental benefits for all Canadians.

The 99MW Erie Shores Wind Farm – located along 26 kilometres of Lake Erie shoreline – provides hundreds of thousands of dollars in

tax revenue, increased tourism, and jobs for local residents.

“Wind energy is having an incredibly positive impact on our community. The Erie Shores Wind Farm has become part of our identity. My advice would be to come and see it for yourself.”— Lynn Acre, Mayor of Bayham, Ontario
