News and views in and around Creemore
by Trina BerloBig Heart Days will take over Creemore on Feb.
14.
The BIA is planning a long weekend of events, encouraging people
to get outside and enjoy winter while supporting local
businesses.
The events are happening on Family Day weekend, with most
activities concentrated on the Saturday, which is also Valentines
Day. On that day, the street will be closed and fun family
activities are in the works.
Start the day off right with breakfast offered at Mill Street
restaurants.
An opening ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. at the corner of
Mill Street and Caroline Street.
Throughout the day businesses are encouraged to offer something
special on theme with Valentines Day and in honour of the village
with the big heart.
Enjoy the outdoors during events and activities such as street
hockey, snowshoeing and horse-drawn sleigh rides, all on Mill
Street, which will be closed to vehicles until 5 p.m. Warm up with
hot chocolate and wood fired warming stations.
In the evening, there will be live music, outdoors at Creemore
Kitchen from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Beer will be sold.
by Trina BerloA redeveloped Cashtown Corners could include a Tim
Hortons and Esso gas bar, if approved.
A meeting was held at town hall in Stayner Monday to hear public
input on the proposed redevelopment of the existing gas station and
coffee shop.
Architect Lloyd Hunt presented plans for a Tim Hortons On the
Run with eight tables and convenience store, gas bar and garden
market.
Hunt showed plans for a drive-through that would have room for
15 vehicles in the queue and more than 30 parking spaces.
The property is owned by Richview Orchard but the Tim Hortons
would be
Enjoy a cold one around a hot fire.The BIA was denied permission
to
close Mill Street on the night of Feb. 14, during a Clearview
Township council meeting Monday.
The organizat ion was given permission to close the s t reet
throughout the day until 5 p.m.
Councillor Connie Leishman suggested another location for the
evening portion of the event would be better, adding she is not in
favour of the nighttime road closure.
CAO Steve Sage said closing the road after dark would require
the rental of special equipment standards with flashing lights and
the presence of a staff person, which could cost more than
$300.
The cost could have been passed on to the event organizers.
There was also a concern about timing as the request for a road
closure should be made 60 days in advance of an event.
New members of the BIA the business improvement area committee
were appointed in January and are working within a tight timeframe
to pull off the event.
Anyone interested in volunteering on the Saturday is asked to

owned by Ann Murphy, who owns the Stayner location.
She said she hopes the Cashtown Corners location would help to
alleviate some of the traffic congestion at the intersection of
Highway 26 and County Road 91 caused by vehicles waiting to enter
the drive-through.
Creemore BIA president Rick Burek said some members have
expressed concern about directing traffic away from Creemore. Past
president Corey Finkelstein said the BIA is showing support for the
project through an agreement with Murphy to promote the
village.
Murphy said she has agreed to incorporate some type of gateway
sign
in the form of a map or kiosk to direct travellers to
Creemore.
I see this as a positive development because it is an eyesore
right now, said Murphy.
Hunt outlined plans to possibly renovate an existing barn on the
property to house the market, replacing the tent structure that is
set up each summer as a satellite for Giffens. Other vendors could
be represented at the market as well.
It will be an important landmark, said Hunt.
Lifelong Cashtown Corners resident Robert McArthur spoke in
favour of the development, saying he is in full support of the
plans and hasnt liked seeing the property left derelict for many
years.
Dunedin resident Donna Baylis asked if consideration could be
given to snowmobile traffic as it is close to the trails.
Hunt said he would plan for snowmobile parking.
The developer is looking to rezone the property, located at the
corner of Airport Road and County Road 9, from highway commercial
and hazard land to highway commercial exception and hazard land.
The exception is required to allow for a full-fledged convenience
store, a restaurant with indoor seating and the outdoor market,
which is not currently a permitted use.
Hunt said all parties are hoping to get the development going in
the spring.

them how we make it. So the next time youre near

by Trina Berlo Clearview Township staff has been tasked with
trimming the budget in order to offer a more palatable tax increase
to residents.
Council has directed staff to rework the budget and come back
with an overall increase of 1.95 per cent or less, down from the
3.2 per cent originally presented.
The increase is to be calculated using assumed tax rates from
the county and school boards.
Council approved the direction adding a caveat that staff is to
use no more than $120,000 from reserves to balance the budget.
The motion was tabled by Deputy Mayor Barry Burton toward the
end of a four-hour budget meeting Monday afternoon at town hall in
Stayner.
At the end of the day, people look at the net increase, said
Burton
Budgets are budgets and we have to be fiscally responsible
here.
He said council should rely on staff to come up with the
reductions.
In order to reach the 1.95 per cent increase threshold, staff
will need to come up with a $140,000 reduction in spending or added
revenue from non-tax sources.
Staff and council went back and forth trying to get the other to
identify areas where cuts could be made.
Council members came up with a list of suggestions on items that
could be removed from the budget including forgoing added library
hours, not hiring a full-time communications and marketing
coordinator this year and a reduction in transfer to reserves. Fire
Chief Colin Shewell also identified a reduction in new equipment
purchases and council didnt show much support for a $10,000
expenditure for camera equipment to record council meetings. The
omissions would add up to just over $300,000.
Councillor Thom Paterson was the only person to oppose the
motion. He too wanted to reduce the budget and have staff identify
reduced spending but through a two per cent decrease in
tax-supported spending, as a review of services, while keeping
reserve allocations intact.
In the initial draft budget, Clearview Township staff projects
just over $23 million in revenues, 56 per cent of which is from
property taxes. Paterson was proposing to reduce that $12.9-million
in property tax revenue by two per cent.
Councillor Kevin Elwood was the only person to support his
motion that asked staff to identify about $259,000 in reduced
spending of taxation dollars.
We should get ourselves in the mindset of controlling our
spending, said Paterson. Its easy to spend money when times are
good. Its harder to control in times like these.
In 2015, Clearview Township is facing a reduction in

funding, through the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund and is
attempting to reduce its reliance on reserves.
Council lor Shawn Davidson acknowledged that staff has already
trimmed the budget in an attempt to make up for the shortfall.
You did good, you just havent done great so trim it up, said
Davidson.
Because of the municipal election, council got a late start on
the budget and staff was feeling the crunch as the public meeting
date is fast approaching.
Paterson is hoping to get support for a service review this
spring, in planning for next years budget and the next several
years.
The next time council sees the draft budget is when it goes
before the public on Feb. 9.
The public meeting is at 7 p.m. at town hall in Stayner. Council
will make revisions based on public input at a fourth and final
budget workshop on March 2 before voting on the final document that
night.

Budgets more than just the bottom line
Budgets are about more than the tax increases they reflect.
The budget is a working document that sets the tone for council
during the coming year.
It is a framework in which all of councils work will be
done.
Clearview Township council is saying it will minimize increases
where possible in 2015. This budget isnt about adding services,
staff or much of anything.
This is a bare bones budget and one might think it creates a bit
of a conundrum for the township.
Many of the council members who ran on
bare-bones-approach-to-spending platforms during the election also
ran on pro-growth platforms.
The problem is that Clearview Township is at risk of not
creating a desirable community that will attract new residents,
even if there were new developments.
Innovation and growth go hand-in-hand.While those looking for
the quiet life in the country
may see Clearview as a desirable place to call home, young
families may struggle to see the attraction.
There are few good paying jobs and recreation facilities are at
a minimum. Before long, parents find themselves driving out of
Clearview to neighbouring towns and cities to access services. Many
are tempted to move to cut down on the driving.
All council members support the lowest tax increase possible but
they admit they are not sure where the budget cuts should be
made.
New council members are trying to stick to campaign promises to
keep tax increases low.
Municipal budgeting is always very political, said councillor
Shawn Davidson Think long and hard about how we want to move this
municipality forward and where the priorities are.
This budget is particularly political. If council can pass a
budget with a combined increase of under two per cent it will have
done what it set out to do, save people money.
But if those savings are achieved by not putting money into
reserves, there will be no money for increased services and
infrastructure unless Clearview can attract new residents. And
therein lies the catch 22.
All financial experts advise people to plan for the future, pay
down debt and save money at the same time. This council needs to
get ahead of next years budget and plan for the future.
This council is playing a bit of a shell game by reallocating
budget money from reserves, reducing reserve transfers and relying
on low or no increases from the county and the school boards to
serve up a more palatable tax bill.
Council must be careful, as it was also Davidson who said during
budget deliberations, council must act in the best interests of the
entire electorate, not just the squeaky wheels.
Editor:In reviewing your Jan. 23 edition of The Creemore
Echo, I notice three letters to the editor regarding the matter
of Clearview Townships consideration and deliberations on raising
the gay pride flag at the town hall.
Your editorial comments are brave, thoughtful and give due
credence to the subject and you are to be credited with your
enlightened approach. It is now up to our newly elected councillors
and executive to address the ramifications and repercussions on
developing policy and subject guidelines that follow from their
decisions, taking into account open forums and representations from
the public served.
Canadian democratic traditions and our Charter of Rights and
Freedoms allow for, indeed encourage, freedom of expression so we
can expect to hear voices and ideas which may conflict with our
thoughts and philosophical tenets on certain issues that arise on
occasion. Being able to defend ones expressions through thoughtful
and critical analysis of the facts surrounding such expressions are
crucial to the ongoing discussions. With this in mind, and an
increasing majority of the County of Simcoes communities agreeing
that raising the Simcoe Pride organization flag, honouring the
significance of our multicultural and inclusive values, I
personally suggest that Councillor Robert Walkers opposing such a
gesture, in a public forum, is tantamount to denying our rights as
local citizens to establish and endorse our right to defend our
values, those of our families and those held dear by our forebears
who have fought world wars to achieve our freedoms and
responsibilities to the minorities and the oppressed
within society.In response Rami Blecht, Canadians have
separated
State from Religion for a justifiable reason one may see how not
doing so has led to the strife and brutality of the regimes in the
Middle East and certain dictatorial regimes in Africa to this date.
I need not remind you that you have chosen to immigrate to Canada
and your memories of your time spent in the Soviet Union do not
reflect the circumstances you faced there. There are acknowledged
friends of my family that acknowledge their gay affiliations and
they mean no less to us as human beings because of their individual
persuasions though I would not expect that I myself would wield the
rainbow flag on any person's say-so unless I found these folks
being rancorously defiled in public venues. David Jones has quoted
PM Trudeaus infamous statement regarding the state having no place
in the bedrooms of the nation Trudeau was right. Strange that Mr.
Jones would equate this great statesmans words as suggesting he
would not support tolerance of our minority communities (be they in
their bedrooms or not) perhaps his son Justin would be able to
offer Mr. Jones an accurate interpretation of Pierres meaning.
Finally, I couldnt agree more with Maria Cornelisse when she states
that knowing how a councillor thinks and what his beliefs are would
be welcome knowledge when it comes time to vote. However, her
corollary is bereft of validity as whatever your religious beliefs
may be, Canadians, in their secular wisdom, are not prone to base
their votes on religious beliefs or are we?

Council put forward s e v e r a l s u g g e s t e d
modifications to the staff-prepared 2015/16 draft budget during the
third, in a series of four, planned budget workshops held on Monday
afternoon.
In the end, apparent progress was made by council and staff in
agreeing to reduce this years proposed tax increase to under two
per cent, including both the estimated Simcoe County and school
board tax levy increases.
Essentially, various suggested modifications fell into two
different approaches. The proposal that was eventually adopted by
the majority of council, was a direction to staff to target a
specific final tax rate for 2015 of 1.95 per cent and make the
temporary deferrals to achieve it.
Unfortunately, once again, council settled on the same
short-sighted tactic of past years by concentrating only on the
political optics of an in-year tax reduction, missing an
opportunity to conduct a much needed examination of where spending
could be made more efficient or eliminated. Spending on such
day-to-day expenses as salaries, professional services and
administration continue to rise faster than the growth in our local
economy and the taxpayers ability to pay and is the root cause of
the annual demand for more and more tax revenue.
This quick fix approach depends on the use of savings in the
form of reserve funds and project deferrals from this year to a
future year to achieve an in-year and short-term tax reduction.
Reserve funds are put away for specific known future expenses
such as road and bridge improvements and
should only be used to prevent future tax revenue demands.
So, with this approach, spending will continue at the same level
and the tax not collected now in 2015 will be demanded in the
future because the savings in the form of reserves
were spent to achieve a past short term gain, thus perpetuating
the cycle of tax increases.
In my opinion, a more financially responsible approach is to
immediately begin to reduce spending levels in 2015.
I proposed a two per cent reduction of the 2015 planned $12.9
million spending that is funded by taxation revenue. In this
proposal, contributions into reserves would continue as planned and
current reserve fund balances would be left intact for their
intended purpose, to fund future planned expenditures and not be
used for quick fix tax reductions.
The goal would be to achieve permanent spending level reductions
while maintaining priority service levels. If we spend less, we tax
less each and every year going forward.
Ironically, the two approaches produce about the same tax
increase in 2015, just under two per cent all in. However, by not
taking action to curb spending and opting to feed the current
appetite to spend using potential savings as council has decided to
do, such expenditures as staff increases will continue to ensure
ongoing higher than needed tax increases for the foreseeable
future.
Come and voice your opinion at the public meeting at the
Clearview Township Administration Centre in Stayner on Feb. 9.
Editor: We have a Canadian flag to represent
all of Canada.We have a provincial flag to represent
all of Ontario. We have a township flag to represent
all of Clearview. We do not put up a pride flag without
a straight flag for balance.We do not put up an orange flag
on
July 12 without raising a flag for the Roman Catholics, etc
Please do not create and promote
segregation. This is an administrative building so
get on with administering the business of the township and stay
out of the bedroom.
What you do when you get home is private. We are just not
interested.
Our township flag represents all of us so, I repeat, we do not
promote segregation.
Bob Stephenson,Creemore.
Editor:Poor sad Walker et al. They cannot
see the forest for the trees. The Pride Flag is all about
tolerance
and inclusion, not about sexual orientation. And the message of
all rational religious thought, including Christian doctrine, is
one of tolerance and inclusion.
But to see this, one must separate the wheat from the chaff, the
metaphorical from the literal.
Your literal interpretation of an
isolated phrase from a transcendental text is obscene. That is
called irony, Mr. Walker. It means that you are very, very
wrong.
But it also means that you have unintentionally raised the Pride
flag higher than running it up a local flagpole for a few days
could ever have accomplished.
For that, we all (independent of sexual orientation) must thank
you.

6 The CReeMoRe eCho Friday, January 30, 2015
by Trina BerloLarry Sinclair wanted to get people out on
snow.
He was passionate about Nordic skiing and dedicated much of his
adult life to advancing the sport.
He always really believed that getting people on snow as early
as you can is really beneficial, said his daughter Kelly
Sinclair.
He always raced but coaching was his big passion. He was just
one of those people who wanted to give rather than rely on people.
That was the idea with Highlands, he wanted a place where people
could just come and ski and learn and it didnt matter if you were
an athlete or if you just wanted to go out and ski or whatever.
Getting other people out on snow was more important than
anything.
The Sinclair family, owners of Highlands Nordic near Duntroon,
is at the centre of the local cross-country ski community and
Larrys influence reaches throughout the province and the
country.
It really started with my grandpa. They spent so much time
skiing when he was younger, said Kelly.
Larry and his father, Jim Sinclair, started out making trails at
Duntroon Highlands golf course in the winter. Eventually the family
bought property next door, building Highlands Nordic into a ski
destination, training centre and home of the Highlands
Trailblazers.
Larry raced as a high school student with the Collingwood
Collegiate Institute team and later began racing with the
University of Guelph team when he went to school there. When the
team was in need of coaches, Larry stepped up.
Kelly said at university, where he studied agriculture, Larry
was racing and coaching at the same time.
He was always a bit of a wannabe farmer, hence all the animals
that we have, the turkeys, the cows, the sheep and the pigs. Any
empty field, he was always trying to get something in it
He was always trying to use the land that we have, said
Kelly.
He truly believed that manual labour is an excellent training
tool for athletes. Every summer we had
somebody living in our basement, training and working for
dad.
Kelly said his trainees could often be found throwing hay bales,
stacking wood or cutting trees.
Those athletes are always coming back, said Kelly. We see them
often.
Larrys enthusiasm for the sport and his kindness earned him many
long lasting friendships in the ski community.
Many people consider Highlands Nordic to have a family
atmosphere.
Kelly said that sense of community became apparent on Sunday
when she left Highlands Nordic to be with her family and many
people jumped in to help, keeping the doors open and the days
events on track.
Larry competed at the provincial and national level. He was a
wax technician for the Canadian team at the 1988 Olympics in
Calgary. As a coach, in 1989, he led the first Canadian team to the
World University Games in Bulgaria. In the 1990s he switched focus
from coaching skiers to coaching coaches and became a course
conductor.
He is a past recipient of the Heinz Niederhauser Coaching Award
and was recently inducted into the Collingwood Sports Hall of
Fame.
Larry died at home in Duntroon on Sunday, Jan. 25, with family,
after an illness with colon cancer, at the age of 58.
A private funeral service with family and close friends will
take place on Tuesday.
A celebration of life is planned for the spring to include the
wider ski community.
Donations can be made in Larrys name to the Highlands
Trailblazers through Cross Country Canada.

Larry Sinclair coaching on the Haig glacier in Alberta.
Sinclair's mission was to get people out skiing
by Alex HargraveAlliston Hornets clinched first place last week
in the Georgian Mid Ontario Junior C Hockey league despite losing
two of three games.
Thursday night at the Stayner rink the Hornets, 31-6-1-1, came
to town to battle the second-place Stayner Siskins, the hottest
team in the league since Nov. 1.
Stayner prevailed with a 4-3 win and added confidence by beating
the leagues number one club.
Siskins coach Steve Walker, who was not behind the bench as he
was attending his sons International Silver Stick game in Michigan,
wasnt surprised by the outcome.
Im not shocked by it. I expected it, he said, noting that the
two teams have been very competitive in their games played this
year except for one, an 8-0 loss Jan. 2. Since then, Stayner has
won their last two meetings.
Stayners general manager Richard Gauthier added, if you dont
finish strong, you dont start strong in the playoffs, making
reference to Stayners strong performance of late and putting more
meaning into Fridays upcoming game against Alliston there.
Stayner, 27-6-3-2, has lost only once in regulation play since
Nov. 1, while the Hornets have lost three games in the last nine
games, including a 6-5 overtime loss to Fergus Sunday, the one
point secured home ice advantage throughout the playoffs.
Gauthier says the victory over Alliston had playoff
intensity.
After the first 20 minutes, Alliston held a 2-1 lead, each team
replying with a goal in the second. Brandon Watson and Sean Healy
came through for the Siskins in the final period, the two shooters
clicking for their second goals of the game. Watsons goal was on
the power-play 7:53 into the third to tie the game, and Healys goal
was in regulation time with about four minutes remaining.
Stayner played Nick Keleher in between the pipes. For a
goaltender not having played much in the past two years, the
20-year-old was rock solid between the pipes, blocking 26
shots.
Keleher played for Stayner a few seasons back for part of the
season. He has also played Junior C hockey for Fergus and
Clarington.
Walker says the team will go with three goaltenders. Last
season, the
clubs two netminders were injured for the playoffs and the team
had to go searching for a third and starting goalie.
Gauthier says the team will dress their full line-up against
Alliston.
Stayners other win was over the Schomberg Cougars who are in a
dogfight with other league teams for fifth place.
Schomberg outplayed Stayner in the first couple of periods, even
though the score was deadlocked at 3-3.
Stayner quickly went up 4-3 in the third from a power-play goal
by Lucas Jeffery. Shortly after that goal the game changed. A
Schomberg player ran Stayner goaltender Trevor Bloch, which created
man advantage opportunities.
Stayner snipers connected on a couple more to give them a modest
cushion in goals. The game got stupid after that. In total,
Schomberg was charged with 91 minutes on 24 infractions and Stayner
had 89 minutes penalized on 22 infractions.
Scoring Stayner goals were Ricky Darrell, Kyle Lafreniere, Dylan
Bursey, Lucas Jeffery with two, Brandon Watson and Trevor
Franklin.
Stayner also played Fergus for their
last regular season game at home Thursday.
The last couple of games have meaning, despite Alliston and
Stayner having locked the top two positions. Itll be decided this
week whether Huntsville or Penetang finish third overall. Numbers
five, six, seven and eight positions are up for grabs for Caledon,
Schomberg, Fergus, Orillia and Erin. Midland is the only team that
is out of the hunt for a playoff spot. The bottom two teams dont
move on.
Finally, Cooper Martin quit the Siskins last week to go play for
Tottenham in the outlaw league. He was a point-a-game player. Corey
DeRose also quit Midland to go to Tottenham. Enough said.
Finally, I am saddened to write that Larry Sinclair, owner of
Highlands Nordic passed away Sunday.
My deepest sympathies to his family. Larry had a dream and he
followed through with it.
Today, Nordic skiing is a major sport in this area. He was
respected, not only in this community, but across the country and
the globe. We have lost a great man.
God bless.
Siskins go into playoffs with strong season finish

The CReeMoRe eCho Friday, January 30, 2015 11
by Trina BerloSimcoe County District School Board trustees will
consider moving a PA day that is in conflict with the Great
Northern Exhibitions education day.
Trustees will vote on a revised school year calendar Feb. 11.
The revision would see a PA (profession activity) day scheduled for
Sept. 25, moved to Oct. 23.
I am fairly confident that this new revised calendar will be
passed as all the concerned groups are satisfied. There were quite
a few people who expressed concern about the September date so it
is fantastic that we can all work together for the common good,
said Annie Chandler, trustee for Clearview and Collingwood.
This years (2014-2015) PA day was Sept. 26 and it did not
conflict with the GNE. At the time the proposed calendar went out,
the board was not aware that there would be a conflict this year if
they kept the PA day the same week.
Chandler said the board has reviewed the calendar and all the
feedback received and is now proposing that board of trustees
approve a calendar that does not conflict with any fairs between
September and Thanksgiving.
By pushing the PA day back to the end of October, the board
would resolve conflicts with all area fall fairs, not just the
GNE.
If the change is approved by trustees, it will still need final
approval f rom the Ministry of Education.
On education day, the first day
of the annual fair, Grade 3 and 7 students from elementary
schools that feed into Stayner Collegiate Institute, Collingwood
Collegiate Institute and Jean Vanier Catholic High School, in
addition to area private schools, are invited to the fairgrounds
for free, where they learn about agriculture as it ties into the
curriculum.
Fair volunteer Gary Milne said the fair is always the third
weekend after Labour Day.
Milne said if the PA day is not moved, fair organizers would
have to cancel education day.
The amount of volunteer hours that go into it for the handful of
students that come, its not worthwhile, said Milne. I am very
hopeful.
In 2011, a PA day was scheduled in conflict with education day,
resulting in low attendance. The next year, there was another
conflict but there was enough lead-time to make a change.
Chandler said she would bring forward some type of plan aimed at
avoiding conflicts with area fairs in the future.

by Trina BerloFire crews were called to an art gallery in
Stayner last Thursday afternoon.
Highway 26 was closed for a while as crews made sure the scene
was under control.
Clearview Fire Chief Colin Shewell said an employee on duty at
the gallery called 911 to report embers and light smoke inside the
building.
The gallery, located at 7293 Highway 26, is owned by Frieda
Linke.
He said the smoke was caused by a person doing roof repairs.
Upon arrival we encountered light smoke inside the building and
all people were evacuated. There was no one home in the apartments
upstairs and it was determined that it was caused by a roofing
contractor, on an extension on the rear of the building,
with an open flame, said Shewell.The employee suffered minor
smoke inhalation and was treated by paramedics on scene. She was
not transported to the hospital.
Clearview fire called in an aerial truck from Collingwood as a
precaution.
He said there is probably about $10,000 in damage, contained to
the back office, and possibly some smoke damage to the artwork.
Shewell said the gallery is located close to a variety store and
a furniture manufacturer.
If it wasnt called in quickly with early notification, it was a
fast attack led by the deputy chief, it definitely could have had
an effect on the infrastructure downtown, said Shewell.
Highway 26 reopened at about 4 p.m.
Sometime between 9 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 17 and 7:30 a.m. on
