Jim Cuddy , award winning musician, will perform with his Band at the 15th Annual Jim Cuddy Jamboree at Lyric Pond on August 4th. This event is the sole fundraiser for Conserve Our Rural Environment which advocates for appropriate land use policy in the Creemore/Mulmur area. The strictly voluntary organization has contributed to maintaining this beautiful environment for agriculture, recreation and land stewardship, especially on the Niagara Escarpment. CORE has prevented the development of a gravel pit at the corner of Airport Road and County Road 21, supported the effort to Stop the Mega Quarry, advocated for the prevention of noise pollution in the Dufferin County Forest and convinced the Ministry of Natural Resources to restock the Pine River Fishing Pond. Funds raised from the Jamboree have paid for professional services required to support advocacy with municipal, county and provincial governments.

Jim Cuddy, a Mulmur neighbour, has generously donated his talent for 14 years to support CORE’s mandate. The Band's performance that follows an open bar and full course dinner prepared by the famous Flying Chestnut Restaurant in Eugenia is sponsored by The New Farm, Creemore Springs Brewery, and Adamo Winery. Organizers say this annual community event is regarded as one of the best summer parties in Southern Ontario. Bill and Melody Duron, hosts at Lyric Pond say, “As soon as Jim plays the first song, attendees are no longer sitting on the straw bales because they are dancing up a storm.”

Tickets are $225 which includes open bar, full course dinner, and a great musical jamboree.

Bob Coxon and Allister MacDonald inspect the newly refurbished full-size Avro Arrow that will be unveiled at Edenvale Aerodrome during the Gathering of the Classics on August 10.

by Trina Berlo On a cold dark December night, a replica of the Avro Arrow landed in Edenvale. It had made an overnight flight on the back of a huge transport truck up Airport Road in the dead of night.

It was trucked from its former home at the Canadian Air and Space Museum at Downsview Park where it was proudly displayed until the museum’s closure in 2011. It is now at Edenvale Aerodrome being readied for its big unveiling at this year’s Gathering of the Classics.

Bob Coxon , a director with the Edenvale Aviation Heritage Foundation, said Edenvale Aerodrome owner Milan Kroupa arranged to acquire the museum’s collection with the intention of putting them on display at the Clearview facility. The goal is to make it an attraction

for the area, along with the rest of the collection including a full size replica of its engine – the Orenda Iroquois – a Tracker, Snowbird Tudor, Zenair, Tiger Moth, and Musketeer.

The real CF-105 Canadian fighter jet — better known as the Avro Arrow — was built in the late 1950s to target Soviet spy planes during the Cold War. The production of the CF-105 was cancelled in February 1958. Six were built and three were flown before all the planes were destroyed — a moment that became known as “Black Friday” in the Canadian aviation industry.

This is the only full-sized replica of the Avro Arrow in existence today. It was built by almost 700 volunteers, associated with the museum.

It is 77.7 feet long, 21 feet high to the tip of the tail and has a wingspan measuring 50 feet.

Coxon said the plane has been in storage at Pearson Airport, sitting outdoors and wrapped in plastic, for the past seven years. A lot of work has been done to clean it up and reattach the tail and wings to get it ready for public viewing.

The replica will be making its public debut at the 31st annual Gathering of the Classics, hosted by Edenvale Classic Aircraft Foundation, on Saturday, August 10 (rain date Sunday, August 11) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Admission costs $10 for adults, $5 for youth 10-17 and children nine and under are admitted free of charge.

To book flights on classic aircraft available that day, visi t www.classicaircraft.ca/vintage-aircraft-flights.

The Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that is accepting donations and is open to visitors on Thursdays.

Local businesses cut plastic useby Cecily RossThe last straw for Nancy Johnston was a trip she took to Southeast Asia last winter.

“The women in the markets were putting mango slices in plastic bags and then further down the street there’d be mountains of discarded bags everywhere,” says the owner of Creemore’s Bank Café, adding: “The rivers in Cambodia were clogged with plastic. We visited monasteries in the mountains and the trees around them were covered in bags and wrappers. It was terrible.”

When she returned, Johnston vowed to make her business plastic-free. Although she has been using paper straws for years; now she’s gone further, selling juices in pretty glass bottles stamped with her familiar ‘bee’ logo that customers can take home and re-use. Her take-away coffee cups are compostable, so are the lids. The café serves its immensely popular cinnamon buns in cardboard trays. She uses beeswax-coated wrappers instead of plastic cling wrap and soon she’ll be adding bamboo forks.

Down the street at Affairs Bakery, proprietor Norma Panzini has been committed to cutting down on plastics for years.

“My father had a grocery store,” she says, “and in those days all the pop came in returnable bottles. The bags were all brown paper.”

These days, she says, finding compostable alternatives to the ubiquitous Styrofoam and plastic take out containers can be a challenge. And then there’s the added cost. Plastic forks are 2 cents each; bamboo are 8 cents apiece. It adds up. Nevertheless, she serves her take-out fish and chips in cardboard boxes, and has found a tiny, perfect wooden fork for the fries. She is happy to refill water bottles for the many cyclists that come into town rather than sell them water bottled in plastic.

“We’re trying our best,” says Panzini. The effort is worth it, she says, not just because of the benefit to

the environment but because it’s good for business. “I think people have more respect for you as a business if you do this,” she says.

In a way, Affairs and the Bank Café (and the many other local businesses that are going plastic-free) are responding to increasing consumer demand. “It’s astonishing,” Johnston says, “how many people bring their own reusable coffee mugs into the café.”

She admits the streets of Creemore are a lot tidier than the streets of Bangkok. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem. “It’s not right in front of us so we don’t care,” she says, adding: “We’re so good at hiding our messes in this country that we don’t see it. But it’s there all right.”

CLEAN is backMore than a decade ago a group of concerned

Creemore residents founded Clearview Eco Action Network (CLEAN) to lobby against the use of plastic grocery bags and pesticides.

Well, we’re back with a brand new logo and lots of enthusiasm. This time we hope to encourage Creemore and Clearview to go plastic-free by raising awareness about single-use plastics and showing how everyone in our community can be part of the solution.

Watch the Echo for upcoming events including CLEAN booths at the Creemore Farmer’s Market’s “Bring your own coffee mug” days on July 20 and 27. And look for our logo at participating organizations and businesses in the village.

What’s in a name By Cat Flack

Choosing a name can be a very difficult exercise. It seems easier to name a person than it is to name a pet. My name is Catarina Angela Gerd (pronounced Yade); I am named after my great grandmother (on my Swedish mother’s side) but given the name by my grandmother. The name Gerd is after my mother’s best friend who actually introduced my parents to each other. They met through an ancient art called letter writing, also known as having a pen pal. Gerd had started writing to my father (who was in the Royal British Navy) when she told him that she had a friend that she thought he should meet, it was a match made in writing. I still have some of the little love notes that my Dad wrote to my Mum. One of my favourite is a picture of him in full Naval uniform standing in front of the coliseum in Rome with a caption on the back “we shall travel here one day darling”, and they did. My siblings are all named after past family members, my brother Peter, after my father’s twin brother. My sisters are named after previous British relatives, Samantha and Melissa. It would be rather entertaining at times to hear my father call out to one of us getting into a tongue tied mess ending up naming all of us so that he would get a response from the one he meant to call upon… Cata, Peter, Sam, err Missy, argh. We would all answer him just in case we were the intended party being paged. The CEO has two brothers and a sister, the boys all have names beginning with R, Russel, Robert and Ronald. The sister is Carolyn, I guess at the time Rebecca was not thought of or maybe over thought of. Do you remember the bread that came in a red gingham bag that was called “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm”? The succession of all those rolling r’s would have done my father in. My mother was named Dolores Yvonne Rigmor. She did not like Dolores so always went by Yvonne which my dad shortened to Nonne. Rigmor is an old Swedish name which sounds a little too much like rigormortis to me. My Nanna (dad’s Mum) was named Katherine but was always called Kitty. Picking a name for a family pet is a whole other ball of wax. You don’t want to name the animal something that is too difficult to call out when commands are being given; you want a name that just rolls of the tongue. In the case of several pets you want names that don’t sound too much alike or the whole pack will be at your feet. I recently acquired a new puppy that I really wanted to call Yum Yum, a nod to my most favourite opera, the Mikado. However, I thought about the CEO standing on the front deck calling out to the dog, “Here Yum Yum, here” somehow it just didn’t sound or feel right. I gave the CEO the option of picking a name, but thankfully he said no. I ended up calling her Ivy, after my great aunt who was a hoot, just like this puppy is. It is interesting to read about the origin of names in the different cultures, maybe you should read or Google the origins of your name. I remember a quote from a friend who said,” It doesn’t matter what people say about you, so long as they get your name right.” Words to live by.

To the Editor,Regarding the emergency alert system: of course, it

is wrong to call 911 to complain about Amber Alerts.It is also wrong to have a government or commission

mandate that everyone with a modern cell phone must receive ALL alerts, 24/7.

It does not have to be that way; for instance, the U.S. allows individual freedom of choice as to what type of alerts to receive, Amber Alerts, Emergency Alerts, and Public Safety alerts. The choice is yours.

It is baffling to think that anyone believes that Amber Alerts are emergencies for all. They are clearly emergencies for the people involved and for the police. But certainly not for the millions of people who were aroused from their sleep at 3 or 4 a.m.

Consider the side effects: If the alert was for all of Ontario, that’s 14 million people. Suppose 10 million are actually asleep at 3 a.m. and smart phone penetration is 70%. If only 20% of those 7 million sleepers leave their smart phones on over night, that’s well over a million who were probably awakened by this “emergency”. It’s hard to think how mass sleep interruption could aid in an Amber Alert. If there is a real public safety emergency, where the sleepers’ lives might be in danger, it would make sense. But the suggested solution of just turning off the phone

would remove the true service the alert could provide.But has anyone thought of the harm that is done

by awaking a large population unnecessarily in the middle of the night? What about the thousands of people who stumble to their phone in the dark? What about the effects of sleep deprivation on civility the next day? Each time daylight saving time changes, there are articles pointing out real measured effects such as accident rates and emergency room visits that such minor disruption in sleep cycles brings. A statistical study of the possible increase in accidents associated with middle of the night compulsory Amber Alerts might well reveal a similar pattern.

The solution is simple: the CRTC should give us back the choice of what our phones do for us.

A sensible compromise would be to allow Amber Alerts to be muted during a time of the user’s choosing (e.g. sleeping) as we can now silence calls and messages. True public safety alerts could still be mandated. Amber Alert is just one of 20 alert categories for which the system is intended (see alertready.ca).

Such a change would restore public confidence in the alert system, and might increase public good will toward the Amber Alerts directed to those who are awake.

Bob McLean, Creemore

“Where Jesus is Lord, all are welcome.”

Rev. J. Inglis & Rev. E. Inglis • 466-5838

I am writing regarding the habitat destruction that reportedly occurred at the Roxodus event. As reported in the July 5th edition of The Creemore Echo, “about 18 hectares of woodland was cleared, and as much as 10 hectares of wetland has been cleared, filled and/or drained without proper permits.”

It is time that our various levels of government and those agencies entrusted to protect the environment start taking environmental issues seriously. Wetlands are some of the most important and productive ecosystems on the planet. They are also some of the most fragile and least respected. As much as 80% (more in some areas) of Southern Ontario’s presettlement wetlands have already been destroyed resulting in a loss of biodiversity, poor water quality and increased flooding. According to the conservation organization Ontario Nature, 75% of reptiles and 35% of amphibians in Ontario are nationally or provincially at risk. Eight species of turtles in Ontario are at-risk species. How many turtles were killed and/or displaced by the destruction of the wetlands in Edenvale?

And anyone who thinks we have enough trees and that the destruction of the woodland is no big deal is ignorant about the health of the planet. According to a recent study, planting trees – and up to a trillion trees or more is mentioned – may be the most effective way to combat global warming.

N. Glenn Perrett, Mulmur

LETTERLETTERWhat would you like the deficit to be? Get serious

Editor: With the provincial debt load over

$340,000,000,000 ($23,000 per capita; highest worldwide) and servicing it annually cost over $13,000,000,000 it is admirable the government is intent on reducing both.

However, PC Premier of Ontario Doug Ford has developed deficits in many essential services, with your bulldozing non-consulting arrogance. The most vulnerable being hit hardest. Autistic children for instance.

Our education system is being decimated, our health care system i s i n t u rmoi l , ou r R&D and innovation programs curtailed, our deteriorating infrastructure overlooked… all essential services our future, as a competitive society, depends on. All heading us to third world status.

Schools provide a gymnasium for developing minds to think, to question, to create and to achieve. Depriving today’s students of those essentials is to deprive them of an ability to function with the life challenges they will soon face. Ontario’s workforce will be its greatest asset for competing tomorrow.

A more intelligent approach would be to reduce excesses, trim unessential costs and encourage GDP growth. Although slower and less dramatic, it would be better balanced and less disruptive. It would make us stronger, rather than weaker.

Then, at the same time, Mr. Ford displaced the most efficient system for retailing beer in the world. All so people can grab a six-pack at a corner store and party on the tail gate of a pick-up truck... then drive off into a tree. Mr. Ford stomped the little breweries’ prospects and opened up the reason for establishing the Brewers Retail system in the first place… getting rid of the

abuse of rules and illegal practices. By doing so, adding an expensive layer of distribution to cost. While, conversely, promoting “a buck-a-beer”, for which breweries can hardly put water in a can. Delivering a couple of cases to 4,000 corner stores by comparison to a couple of skids to 400 Beer Stores is significantly more expensive. Beer Stores have a 98 per cent recovery rate for recycling… Something corner stores are simply not equipped to do.

Corner stores don’t have the space for the number of micro-brewery products available. Whereas the Beer Store provides an equal opportunity to compete. Mr. Ford’s concept would give an unfair advantage to the big breweries.

A tremendous drain on provincial tax revenues is the loss of most of its car industry-support businesses and worker wages. Study the dramatic results of US States that have legislated ‘a right to work’. The unions don’t like it, but new car industries, support businesses that are thriving there. Overall wages have increased. The States have changed to ‘have’ from ‘have not’ status.

In the digital world, there is staggering change. Ontario must not fall behind, but develop a strategy to be nationally and internationally digitally competitive. Ontario must better understand the impact on a digitized society and must invest heavily in innovation to reap the on-coming benefits.

Entrepreneurs should be encouraged through incentives, to grow… The more they do, the more the taxes.

A better approach would be to let necessity be the mother of invention.

Mr. Ford should put down his axe and put the imagination of the talent around him to work developing initiatives, for new and better revenues. Quit being destructive and start being constructive.

The idea is to create success stories. Consulting with industrial and business leaders, to develop a strategy aimed at increasing opportunities, will knock down the deficit in a more fruitful way.

Don’t let the deficit be one between your ears Doug Ford.

John Wiggins, Collingwood.

Hey Trina,Your recent article regarding Michele

& Fiona Frustaci from MMEA Italian Catering in Stayner struck a chord with folks at the Brewery. We typically host a staff lunch every Friday – which is partially funded by the brewery to reduce the costs for the staff, but this week, however, a few employees recommended the Brewery sponsor the entire lunch (so more folks would sign up) to step up & help support this local business, while doing our best to offset some of the food costs/losses from the recent cancelation of the concert & overall, just be a good neighbour.

So far, we anticipate ordering approximately 35-40 lunches between the Creemore & Stayner facilities. So, cheers & we hope we have helped even a little bit.

by Helen BlackburnT h i s m o n t h ’ s contr ibution to our local history continues describing the events at the Methodist church up until 1930 and also about “Church Union” which had a devastating effect on many communities. To continue:

Even with such a busy congregation they still made time for young people. One group was called the Sunshine Class which followed the plans set out for the Canadian Girls in Training (CGIT). With the group’s leader they visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Rogers of Websterville, taking along goodies to eat. While there “they did the Saturday cleaning and everything they could do to make it comfortable for Mrs. Rogers who was very ill.”

Sunday School Christmas Concerts were common for many years. In 1909 the Methodist children put on a special one called Foxy Santa. It was not just a dialogue but a “series of joyous songs interspersed with humerous scenes in which our time honoured friend, Santa, delights the hearts of children.”

For the slightly older young there was an oration contest. Those taking part were Beatrice Akitt, Eva Agar, Dora and Beatrice Helmkay and Dolly Mackay. The collection that evening

amounted to $18.30 and was sent to Borden camp for a piano.

A n o t h e r a c t i v i t y f o r young people was debating. One debate “was a friendly arrangement between the Young People of the Anglican and Methodist bodies.” One

particular topic was, “That in the best interest of Good Government Politics should be abolished.” The rules of formal debate were followed. The judges, after careful consideration, decided the affirmative team from the Methodists was the winner. Special praise was given to the speakers for the efforts they had put into research.

As with any group endeavour there were humorous events that took place. In the spring of 1906 the flood waters, as they always did at that time in the spring, came raging down Ten Hill and straight down Mill Street. It so happened that the flood was at its worst on a Sunday. It was impossible for the ladies to get to church without getting their feet wet so the service was held in the Presbyterian church.

The fanciest hats one could imagine were worn by the women until new fashion swept in after World War I. But before that this comment from 1910 provides a wry observation. “The ladies of the Methodist Church choir introduced an innovation on Sunday by

appearing without their hats. The effect was rather pleasing. If the ladies of the congregation had done this some time ago there would have not so much necessity in raising the floor of the church.”

Church Union in Canada, and most particularly in Southern Ontario, was a movement that tore apart many towns and villages and in families, alienated members, sometimes forever. Fortunately in Creemore this did not happen.

For such a controversial subject very little appeared in the Creemore Star to indicate there was a problem.

The unions of various branches of the churches was not a new idea. Prior to 1900 several branches of the Methodists became one and each of the two branches of the Baptists and Presbyterians united. Early in the twentieth century discussions to unite the Methodists, Presbyterians and the Congregationalists began circulating. In Canada’s western provinces a few other churches such as the Lutherans showed an interest.

It appears that the editor of the Creemore Star has written little about the union. However there was a report in 1915 regarding a vote that was held in all Presbyterian churches. Locally 65 voted for union and 173 were against. These numbers were compiled from Creemore, Dunedin and East Nottawasaga churches. In Collingwood 160 voted for union and 84 were against. The Duntroon, Nottawa and West Nottawasaga churches voted 105 for union and 44 against. By 1924, when the final vote was taken, all

of these churches decided to remain Presbyterian and have remained so to this day. Locally nothing was mentioned about the views of the Methodists. One might assume they were in favour of the union from the start.

The arguments on both sides were reasonable but often contradictory. For example, it was argued that people who work together and aid each other in need not go separate ways on Sunday. On the other hand it was stated that John Knox, (founder of the Presbyterians) appealed for spiritual liberty. In foreign missions the people supporting union felt that the people in foreign countries found the different denominations confusing. But Canadians opposing union felt that the missionaries were not preaching denominations but Christ.

Overriding these debates was the fact that small individual churches were experiencing financial problems. Union with another church would make them more financially secure, more vibrant, more spiritual. Those who didn’t want to unite probably hated to abandon the church they had attended for years, to leave the strained glass windows donated by their parents and other gifts such as communion service.

The die was cast. In January 1925 Creemore’s Methodist Church became the United Church. A formal inaugural service was held in June 1925. Creemore’s Presbyterian church, Dunedin’s and East Nottawasaga’s remained staunchly loyal to their past. In spite of the 1915 vote in favour of union the Collingwood, Duntroon, Nottawa and West Nottawasaga

Presbyterian churches retained their old identity after the 1924 vote.

An unhappy story of a fractured community caused by the Church Union vote is illustrated by what happened in the Maple Valley Presbyterian church. The church, now closed, sits at the side of the road east of Badjeros. At the time of the 1924 vote many were in favour of joining the Methodist church at Badjeros. But a group of Presbyterians were very unhappy and decided to stay together meeting at the Maple Valley community hall. The discord “was terrible, just a terrible thing,” remarked Alex Priddle as he recalled anger in the community. A second ballot was arranged and the Presbyterians made every effort to swing the vote in their favour. An elderly woman, about ninety, who had pneumonia was well wrapped in blankets and taken by team and sleigh to vote. Another man, a church member, came from Toronto. When the votes were counted the Presbyterians had won by one vote and were allowed to keep their church. But the split in the community and in families remained for years and years.

The second little boy looked at his friend and said, “He can have 16 wives.”

“How do you know that?” The first little boy asked.

He replied , Four better, four worse, four richer, and four poorer.”
