The Honeywood Beef Barbecue is celebrating 50 years this weekend.
The inaugural event was held to help raise funds to rebuild the arena which was demolished by a fire in January of 1965.
The t radi t ion of community volunteers banding together for their facility remains intact with this annual dinner.
Organizers say the slow cooked beef and homemade desserts are not to be missed during this year’s event on Saturday, July 25, adding its a great chance to meet neighbours and other Mulmur residents, as well as those who come from farther away each year to enjoy the meal.
Anyone interested in volunteering at the event is asked to e-mail [email protected].

The station will broadcast as CKAW 90.1 FM in September.
Sandra and Steve Green applied in October for a broadcasting licence to operate a low-power, English-language developmental community FM radio station in Creemore. It was approved by the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) on July 16.
The 5-watt not-for-profit station, run by a board of directors, is approved to broadcast 126 hours of programming each broadcast week reflecting the needs and interests of the community through spoken word programming, local information and new music from local talent, not generally broadcast on commercial radio stations.

Premier Kathleen Wynne visited Creemore Springs Brewery on Thursday during the grand opening celebrations of the Brewery’s expansion.
This was her first visit to the village in over 40 years, when she stayed with a friend in Dunedin and attended a dance at the arena. “Creemore has really picked itself up since then,” said the Premier.
She commended the staff and municipality for their cooperation and the work done to expand production and employment opportunities in the area. She also commended Creemore Springs
for the number of women on the line saying it is certainly unusual within the beer industry, and industry in general.
The visit is just one of many stops in Wynne’s ongoing tour of breweries across Ontario. The provincial government announced new rules around the retailing of beer last April.
“We want to make sure people have the choice they are looking for and unique breweries like Creemore Springs can benefit their communities,” said Wynne.

By Trina BerloRuby has found a loving home.
The 1959 Massey Ferguson tractor belonging to Jeff Shearer was put up for adoption in the spring when he and his wife Reet decided to leave Sweetwater Farm north of Creemore on Fairgrounds Road and move to Nottawa.
“Moving to town, we needed to find a home for Ruby and Ruby is such a special tractor and has been involved with our family for almost 20 years…” said Shearer. “It became a special part of our family and we wanted to make sure she went to a good home.”
Shearer, publisher of On The Bay magazine, first laid eyes on Ruby perched on a hill north of Cashtown Corners on one of his many drives north from the city. There were two tractors with for sale signs on them.
“This was before I moved up here. I was still a weekender working in Toronto as a publisher. Every weekend I’d drive up and I’d see this and finally I was drawn to drive up the hill above Airport Road and I met the owner of both tractors. His wife had decreed one tractor had to go, and two tractors is one too many. He said, they were both the same price. You can have either the gas or the diesel.”
He said he took the gas because those old diesels didn’t always start very well in the winter.
“I could see them on the top of the hill and they just caught my interest every time I drove by,” said Shearer.
Ruby has spent the years working on the farm, carrying firewood, bush hogging and pulling people out of the ditch.
“The tractors in the 50s and 60s literally farmed Ontario. It’s not a big tractor like the tractors of today, a Massey 35 meant it had 35 horsepower but I could pull a Cadillac out of a ditch with that 35hp because the torque is so powerful in those old tractors,” said Shearer.
But it’s not all work for Ruby. She
has also spent many happy hours giving the grandchildren rides around with property, perched on Shearer’s lap as he drives.
In May, he ran a classified ad in The Creemore Echo, advertising that Ruby was for sale but they couldn’t find the right buyer.
Not until, a person close to him called to wish Shearer a happy Father’s Day and to see how the move was going.
The call came from Mitchell Sharpe, who Shearer was paired with through the Big Brother program in Toronto many years ago.
“Mitch did not have a father living with them and he lived in a household with sisters, a mother, a grandmother
and an aunt and he was already getting into trouble so the Big Brothers people thought that we would make a good match. I am fairly strong willed and not afraid of a lot and I needed to be with this little seven-year-old. He’s turned out to be a terrific guy, a father and a business owner. He has built a real life for himself and we’ve stayed in touch for some 40 years.”
When Sharpe learned that they hadn’t been able to find a buyer he said he would be happy have her.
Shearer told Sharpe he’d love for him to have Ruby and he would give him the friends and family price.

Jeff Shearer passes the keys to his antique 1959 Massey Ferguson tractor to Mitchell Sharpe.
Ruby the tractor finds a sister in Allis
property.“So Allis and Ruby are going to be
girlfriends,” said Shearer. “We couldn’t be more delighted that my little brother is going to end up with this fabulous antique tractor that hopefully he’ll use with his grandkids.”
Shearer is happy that Ruby will be in good hands with Sharpe, who is a tool and die maker and has his own shop.
“He can fix anything,” said Shearer. He said the tractor is in excellent
condition, having been meticulously cared for by Creemore resident Dennis Millsap during her time at Sweetwater Farm.
“I never left Ruby out, ever. I always put her back in the barn. That ruby red finish is still beautiful because of that.”

tHe Way We Wereeditorial
Dear Editor,The day that dear old granddad diedWe called the undertaker in.We gathered round his bed and cried.We shared our grief amongst our kin.We did not go and have him stuffedBy taxidermy’s skill and art.He was not here. This coil he’d sloughed.We said goodbye. Let him depart.For plainly it is not the same To keep his hollow form around.No artifice lets us reclaimThose days we knew of joy profound.How can one claim it’s just the sameTo glue a horn onto a horse,Then, after that, to changes its nameTo unicorn. You can’t, of course!To think that you would take a trussAnd tape it to a concrete bridgeIs tantamount to taunt for us,An insult and a sacrilege.Tim Armour, Creemore.
What a thrill it was to see the picture of the swinging bridge at the south end of Mill Street. Seeing it once more reminds me that the terror I experienced on that bridge has not been exaggerated in my memories. My father liked to take my sister and me to visit Jack and Lizzie Aikens who lived in the house across the river. Lizzie was Lizzie Royal, a Websterville girl, and my father was from Websterville too; they had known each other from childhood.
You may have noticed in the photo that the sides of the bridge are loose flimsy fencing and that the space between the boards was wide enough to see the flow of the river below. By looking through the cracks the bridge appeared to me in my mind to be turning on its side. With every step the bridge bounced up and down violently. I was sure that at any moment we would be dumped into the river. Apart from one or two other times in my life that bridge has been the greatest source of terror in my life.
Many people may not realize that there was a regular bridge for horse drawn vehicles over the river so that Mill Street kept straight on going over the river and onto the field on the other side. In Creemore’s early years everything that was important was located on the flats on the south side of the river. There were several mills, a store, a post office, potash works and a blacksmith. By the 1890s the flour mill was producing enough flour to fill several freight cars leaving Creemore frequently. Also for a few years the hydro electric generating plant was located on the river.
Gradually the industries moved to the north side
There’s a special bond between a man and his tractor.
Women too, feel this bond we’re sure but for the most part, as illustrated in this week’s local news, men who like tractors do so with a certain affection.
Last month, the Madill family, of Glencairn, wrote to The Creemore Echo about their family tractor.
“After our dad passed away, Mom finally decided to sell the farm and we had an auction,” read the letter. “It was an amazing day, as the family all came together to see who got what. Of great interest and emotional attachment was Dad’s tractor. We all held our breath and hoped for the best as her turn came up. As luck would have it, she went to a neighbouring farm. We were so happy to see her being driven down the long lane and off to her new home to be useful again.”
The Madill family had noticed a classified that ran in The Echo in May advertising the sale of another family’s tractor. Ruby, a 1959 Massey Ferguson belonging to Jeff Shearer was in need of a good home.
“Reading the story of “Ruby the Tractor” touched our hearts and brought these memories back to mind. Now we wonder how things worked out for Ruby,” continued the letter.
So when we caught wind of what was to become of Ruby, we were inspired to share the story with all of our readers. In the story, Shearer talks about Ruby as though she truly was a member of the family. “She” was well cared for, always put away at night and relocated to a place where she would be in good company, with another antique tractor of the same vintage.
Then, while speaking with the participants in the Mystery Tour of the Hills Tractor Tour in Dunedin on the weekend, the existence of that same affection and pride was apparent.
When asked about their tractors, most of the owners couldn’t quite put into words what it was that fostered that bond between man and tractor.
Glen Allan said some people drink, some gamble and he collects tractors. He said most of the vintage tractors in the tour were made in the 1950s or thereabouts so they were easy to relate to.
Perhaps it's because tractors are such valuable and useful tools for farmers and there are a lot of long solitary hours spent in the field together. There are enthusiasts of all kinds but a tractor is not a showy car that can be seen about town. The tractors do their work, quietly behind the scenes or have retired completely. It was said that the tractor tour is simply an excuse to take those beauties out for a spin, run them around a bit.
Stan Cowling summed it up best when he said of his sparkling blue Ford 5000, “I always say, this is my 46-year-old girlfriend.
Men and their tractors
of the river and in the 1920s the decision was made to tear down the old bridge which may have been unsafe. It was replaced with the pedestrian swinging bridge for the convenience of the people living across the river.

As you drive through the v i l l a g e o f Nottawa on H i g h w a y 124 you will s o m e t i m e s s e e l i n e s o f c a r s parked on both sides of the highway. (The highway is wide enough to accommodate so many cars.) If you drive slowly you will see a large white building with a sign at the peak of the roof indicating that this is Nottawa Memorial Community Hall. We can only guess why there are so many cars there but you may be sure it is some local event.
This hall, like most of the others in Clearview, is owned by the township but is run by a group of local volunteers who keep the hall in good repair. The hall is rented out for wedding celebrations, birthdays, anniversaries, buck and does, yard sales, other sales, dances, community suppers and family parties. Before the new school was built the grade eight graduation ceremonies were held there. From time to time the hall board holds fundraising events. The money goes towards keeping the hall in good repair. For a few years once a week Scottish Country Dancing lessons, which I attended, were held there. My late husband Gordon was surprised on his 70th birthday with a party and dance in the hall.
The following early history of Nottawa Hall comes from Let’s Celebrate Nottawasaga’s Sesquicentennial and Ontario’s Bicentennial.
“The Nottawa Memorial Community Hall was instigated by the Nottawa Victory Club, a group of younger married housewives who formed a club to do war work. They looked after all the girls and boys that were serving in the armed forces, knitting and packing boxes, etc. Upon their return home they were feted at community dances and given gifts.
“When the war clouds cleared, not wanting to disband, they started doing community work. Not having a suitable meeting place, the club called a community meeting to discuss the possibility of building a hall. With an all-out community effort and many generous donations the Nottawa Memorial Hall was opened and dedicated in 1949.
“The Nottawa “V” Club continued to sponsor dances and euchres for the upkeep of the Hall and community welfare for 28 years.
“The Hall was then taken over by Nottawasaga Council and a responsible slate of officers was selected to carry out the continuance of the Hall. With the new status the Hall was eligible for numerous grants, and has been remodeled, redecorated and improved, making it a continuous Community Centre of which the village can be proud.
“As for the “V” Club it was not altogether disbanded , as they continued to have spring and fall reunions every year.”

By Kara McIntoshDespite last Saturday’s heat warning and threats of thunderstorms, The New Farm’s annual fundraiser in support of Grow for The Stop went off without a hitch. The evening brought fantastic food, music, friends and community together to celebrate and support access to good food.
750 guests dined on local food served by ta lented chefs who volunteered their time to the event. Participating restaurants included Toronto-based Momofuku, Ascari Enotecha, Jamie Kennedy and Vertical; along with Collingwood’s Azzura and The Po t te ry ; and Creemore’s Matt Flett; all serving up delicious fare while Union Duke preformed from the top of a small hill in front of the house.
After dinner, guests moved over to the barn for a live auction. Cleared out of all farm equipment and strung with strands and strands of twinkle lights, the barn was magical. At 9 p.m, bathed in red and purple stage lighting, the surprise headliner of the evening opened their show. From their first
the Hip rocks in support of good-food initiativeschord to their last, The Tragically Hip rocked a set l ist crammed with iconic Hip songs while guests enthusiastically sang and danced.
Since 2009, The New Farm and The Stop Community Food Centre, located in Toronto’s Davenport West neighbourhood, have partnered to ensure that good quality, local produce is available to people who would not otherwise be able to afford it. Money raised through this program allows The Stop to purchase New Farm produce at fair market value and use the food in their front line and community kitchen programs. The partnership highlights the connections between farmers and urban communities, strengthens sustainable rural farming and promotes good environmental practices.
As Rachel Gray , Execut ive Director of The Stop explains, “Our partnership with The New Farm does a couple of really important things. Grow for The Stop means we get fabulous, local, organic produce for our community meals and food bank hampers. Because we buy from The
New Farm, it means we also support sustainable local farming practices. It’s an important disruption of the traditional charity model which often gives away bad food. We are committed to getting really good food into the hands of people who are most food insecure and we love putting our purchasing power in the right places, like with The New Farm.”
The event is run by over 50 local volunteers who take care of almost everything including all the logistics, setting up tents, serving food and drink, accepting tickets at the gate and helping guests park in the one field that is not planted with The New Farm’s signature greens.
“We are so appreciative of and overwhelmed by the huge support we get from the local community in order to host this event,” says Gillian Flies who owns and runs The New Farm along with her husband, Brent Preston. “This was our 7th fundraiser for Grow for The Stop and we couldn’t do any of it
without our volunteers and generous sponsors. We are so, so happy with this partnership and this year ’s successful event.”
Tickets were a hot commodity and sold out within seconds of going on sale to the public. Last year, $47,000 was raised, but early number crunching this year indicates that the goal of $60,000 was easily met and likely surpassed.
Ant ic ipa t ion of nex t year ’s Grow for The Stop event is already mounting and plans are underway, but Gray from The Stop pauses to reflect on and be thankful for how much work is involved,
“I am always inspired by how people really step up to support places like The Stop and this program with The New Farm. Gillian and Brent bring so much personal and community energy into creating and running this event every year and we at The Stop are so grateful for their commitment.”

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife told her husband that it should be he, because he is up first. The man told her she should, as she is in charge of cooking so she should brew the coffee too. The wife said in the Bible it states that the man should brew the coffee. With a scoff in his voice he told her he would only believe it if she showed him in the Bible. His wife opened to the Old Testament and pointed to the top of the page, “HEBREWS”.
In a rural community a farmer’s dog had a large litter of puppies, and as they came of age to be sold he placed a sign on his gate “Puppies for sale $5”. A young boy came to the farmer and asked to see the runt of the litter and offered the farmer the money. The farmer said “son you do not want this pup as he is crippled and will not be able to run and play with you.” The young boy pulled up his pant leg to reveal an artificial leg and said “I cannot run and play either and he will need someone who understands.” With tears in his eyes the farmer gave the boy back his money and gave him the puppy for free.
REMEMBER: Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and blind can see.

especially Creemore for all the support. We can’t wait to do what we said we’ve wanted to do and make this community really special by having a radio station,” said Sandra.
As per its licence, the station will provide access for community members. Clearview Community Radio will recruit, develop and broadcast local on-air talent and produce programming in partnership with community groups that would reflect community interests and all residents of Clearview. It will promote opportunities for youth and other community members to volunteer in the operations of the station. It would provide training guidelines for volunteers and recruit skilled professionals for ongoing training and supervision purposes.
“This is community radio so we don’t call the shots, the community does,” said Sandra.
A public meeting is planned for Tuesday, August 11. People are invited to share ideas and get involved. They can sign up to work behind the scenes, at the organization level or on air.
Meetings with key stakeholders
will take place before the public meeting.
“There is lo ts i f in teres t in programming we just have to make it happen,” said Sandra.
She said training and equipment will be available to help people create programs.
“They can do what they want with it and then we broadcast it,” said Sandra. “We put some parameters in place and then they do what they want with it.”
Clearview Community Radio has been collecting and generating local content in the form of interviews and recording music. It has been broadcasting online since the fall.
They are hoping to set up a studio in Creemore where digital, media and youth programming can take place.
The Greens have also been given approval by Clearview Township council to record its meetings. They will be broadcast live on Monday nights when council sits and rebroadcast the next morning.
The public meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 11 at Station on the Green in Creemore.

Theatre Collingwood is once again presenting a play by Canada’s most prolific playwright, Norm Foster.
One Moment is a musical about six employees at a call centre, who take orders for a series of self-help DVD’s entitled “One Moment”. One moment is all it takes to change a life, and these six very different lives will all be altered in one life-changing moment during a normal day of work.
“We are so happy to once again be collaborating with Lighthouse Festival Theatre to present their production of One Moment here in Collingwood,” said Executive Director Erica Angus.
“This play is an absolute delight and is packed full of amazing actors who have previously performed in such theatres as Stratford, Mirvish, Shaw and the Charlottetown Festival,
to name a few. For example, we have Jennifer Stewart in the show whose previous shows included Fiddler on the Roof, Tommy and 42nd Street, all at the Stratford Festival. One Moment is also one of Norm Foster’s few musical comedies (which also speaks to the incredible talent in this show) and is a show that is sure to delight all who attend.”
One Moment runs from Tuesday, July 28 to Saturday, August 1 at 8 p.m. each night, at The Historic Gayety Theatre located, 161 Hurontario Street in downtown Collingwood. There will also be a 2 p.m. matinee on the Wednesday. The Theatre Collingwood Box Office can be found at 115 Hurontario Street, Suite 104. Tickets may also be purchased by phone at 705-445-2200 & toll free 1-866-382-2200, or on line at www.theatrecollingwood.ca
