by Brad HoldenWith the Simcoe County District School Board meet ing to deal with the future of Duntroon Central Public School h a p p e n i n g T h u r s d a y night (unfortunately after the Echo’s press time), Clearview Council voted unanimously Monday night to signal its support of the recommendations submitted to the School Board by the Accomodation Review Committee.

The resolution, moved by Councillor and ARC member Thom Paterson and seconded by Deputy Mayor Alicia Savage, noted that while School Board staff recommended in their latest report to adopt three of the ARC’s recommendations – to investigate whether an Extended French program should be offered in Clearview; that an Area Attendence Review should be conducted; and that facility partnerships should be pursued – it still called for Duntroon to be closed in June 2012. The Board has also recently announced staffing cuts at the school, despite the

fact that Trustees have yet to decide on the school’s fate.

It also pointed out that the Board staff report that recommends closure is out of touch with the current growth outlook for

Clearview, as well as the fact that changes to education policies affecting small and rural schools may follow a switch in provincial government this fall.

“We the elected members of Clearview Council have listened to and are in complete agreement with our students, parents and residents who have spoken out in overwhelming numbers in support of our community schools and in particular the need to keep Duntroon CPS open,” stated the motion, before resolving that the Board should adopt the recommendations of the ARC. And failing a decision to keep Duntroon open for the foreseeable future, it should at least provide a “fair and necessary period of time” for the three adopted recommendations to

COUNCIL MAKES LAST MINUTE PITCH FOR DUNTROON SCHOOL

A MUSICAL NIGHT The Creemore area was blessed with some great music last Saturday night, whether it be the cowpunk sounds of Elliott Brood at the New Farm (above) or the tropical tunes of Jimmy Buffett cover band Northern Harbour at the Creemore Legion (right, with Nitetis Lodge members Steve Martin, Jason Russell, Henry Cort and Jerry Sampson showing off their flip flops and Hawaiian shirts behind the bar.) The New Farm event was raising money for the Stop Community Food Centre in Toronto, an organization that strives to increase access to healthy food in a manner that maintains dignity, builds community and challenges inequality. The Nitetis Lodge event was raising money for the Canadian Paraplegic Association Ontario.

produce the intended positive effect on enrolment and program delivery in Clearview elementary schools, preferably at least two more years.

In a nutshell, explained Savage before the vote, the message for the Board is that “bigger isn’t always better and smaller isn’t always more expensive.”

The final decision on Duntroon is to be made on Thursday, June 16 at a 6 pm meeting in Midhurst.

New Deputy Chief Appointed Clearview Council appointed Colin Shewel as the

municipality’s new Deputy Fire Chief Monday night, replacing Acting Deputy Chief Gerry Goorts, who had been filling in since former Deputy Bob McKean was promoted to the Chief’s job.

Shewel, who comes from the Springwater Fire Department, promised to get right to work.

Development Charges AmendmentCouncil approved a path forward that attempts

to solve recent troubles with the Township’s Development Charges Act, especially with regards to industrial buildings which incorporate significant non-production/storage areas and not-for-profit community benefitting facilities (e.g. non-profit housing, youth centres, community centres).

The planning department will begin work on an amendment to the Act that would seek to have developments of the former kind be charged less for square-footage that is being used non-intensively. That process could take until the fall, so in the meantime, Council will have new applicants provide a security for payment of current charges until the amended charges can be applied.

The family of Jacob Kenwell have now established a trust fund account at the TD Canada Trust Creemore branch for those who would like to help out with living and medical expenses during and after Jacob’s recovery.

Still at Sick Kids Hospital, Jacob has moved from a no-response coma to a generalized response, meaning he can open his eyes and show movement in his limbs.He continues to have a series of reconstructive surgeries on his right leg.

The Canada Day Street Hockey Tournament will also send its proceeds to the trust account.

For those wanting to donate, the account number is 2320-6236672. Staff at the Creemore branch can lend a hand.

(Continued from page 1)Council supports DCPS A day for kids to have old-fashioned fun

by Brad HoldenLaurie Copeland lives and breathes young people. In 2006, she turned her passion for intelligent kids’ toys into Cardboard Castles, the vibrant children’s store that now anchors the Creemore intersection of Caroline and Mill. And lately, she’s been thinking a lot about the state of children’s entertainment in this town.

“We have all these great events, and they’re all about family,” she said. “But family is not quite the same as kids. Our whole community is a family event, but sometimes it still seems that the kids are on the fringe.”

On Saturday, July 16, Copeland and as many volunteers as she can wrangle will launch what she hopes will be the first annual Creemore Children’s Festival.

“The vision for the festival is to ‘empower’our children,” said Copeland. “It speaks to a generation of creative, thoughtful and intelligent kids and likewise, their parents.”

Not planned as a centralized event, the festival will take place over the course of the day at various locations throughout town.

First off will be the Farmers’ Market, where Copeland has issued a call for kids who’d like to sell their creations at a children’s marketplace. The market will also be home to events like a sandbox fossil dig, a kids’ planting demonstration and craft sessions with Sherri Ann Black.

At 3 pm, the festival’s only ticketed event will take place at the Creemore Legion, with Juno-nominated childrens’ music sensations The Monkey Bunch taking the stage to sing songs from their latest album, fittingly titled “Power to the Little People.” (Tickets $10).

Following that show, the Sovereign will be holding a barbeque with proceeds going to the Teddy Bears Picnic Childrens Centre.

At 7 pm, the festival will reach its finale with a community-wide Talent Show at Station on the Green. Any kids aged 5 to 15 who would like to take part can attend one of two auditions at St. Luke’s Anglican Church: from 2 to 4 pm on Sunday, June 26 and from 7 to 9 pm on Wednesday, June 29.

All in all, the plan is to have some fun, and see where the event goes from there.

“If this is great, we can make it greater next year,” said Copeland.

“Kids can grow up really quick these days,” she added. “This is an attempt to help them slow down a bit.”

For more information about the festival or to volunteer, visit www.creemorechildrensfestival.com or email [email protected]. Reserve concert tickets by calling 705-466-9998.

2010 WINNER

Dear Editor:While I was happy that the recent Inside Ride event

at Stayner Collegiate was so prominently featured in last week’s Echo, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed that an important part of the story was left out. The spotlight at this event was to be on the SCI students, not myself as the cyclist. It was the students and teachers who made the event a success, and they deserve all the credit for the fundraising.

The Inside Ride, the Tour For Kids and the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride are all events held by Coast To Coast Against Cancer Foundation, an organization that raises money and awareness in support of children, teens and their families living with cancer in Canada. Last year, I participated in the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride, and I invited my own high school in Georgetown to hold an Inside Ride to raise money toward my goal. This year, as a Tour For Kids 2011 cyclist, I invited SCI to hold one of these amazing events. As per Coast to Coast rules, the funds raised at an Inside Ride event go toward the fundraising goal of the cyclist who introduced the Inside Ride to the high school. My sponsor page at tourforkids.com now shows, for example, “Stayner Collegiate Institute, Inside Ride, $4,500.”

Once an Inside Ride is scheduled to take place at a school, Coast to Coast encourages students to take charge of the event. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to grade 11 students Katie Deslippe and Celeste Marcoux, my daughter, for organizing the SCI event, along with Vice Principal Janice Ellerby and the 20 student volunteers who helped on the day of the event. The school spirit felt at the event was incredible, and several students commented that they had never witnessed such team spirit before at SCI.

An extra special thank you goes to Katie and Emily Deslippe for honouring the event with a dedication in memory of their brother Mikey Deslippe. Katie

read a wonderful speech about Mikey and received many hugs of support from her peers after her speech. Needless to say, the gym was filled with tears as Mikey was remembered. Katie is already thinking about plans for a yearly Inside Ride event at SCI in honour of her little brother and best friend Mikey Deslippe.

Now that SCI and the Inside Ride have been “introduced,” all future events are solely SCI’s events. In the future, Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation will allow half the proceeds of Inside Ride events at SCI to go towards my fundraising goals, as long as I continue to cycle in the Tour For Kids or the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride and raise money at other events. I would like to extend an invitation, or a challenge, to a current or former SCI student who

is an aspiring cyclist to take my place as the cyclist who can utilize the proceeds from future SCI events towards their own fundraising goal.

Vicki Dunleavy, CreemoreEd. Note: The Echo apologizes for missing one

of the most important aspects of last week’s Inside Ride: that a great amount of the amazing spirit on display was there due to Katie Deslippe and Celeste Marcoux’s work and Katie and Emily’s brave decision to dedicate the ride to their late brother Mikey. The event was a noisy one, so it was easy to miss these subtleties, and we were unable to stay for the speeches, but those excuses pale in comparison to the feelings that the Deslippe family must have had when realizing that element was missing from our story.

Mikey was on everyone’s mind during Inside Ride

Lori O’Hara-Hoke of Inside Ride, student organizer Katie Deslippe, funded rider Vicki Dunleavy, student organizer Celeste Marcoux, and Michael Sharpe and Larry Optis of Inside Ride. Katie and her sister Emily had dedicated the event to the memory of their brother Mikey.

Dear Editor:If I have learned one thing about Creemore, it is that

“news travels fast.” As some of you may know, after 10 years teaching at NCPS I have accepted a new challenge teaching at a school in Collingwood, which is much closer to home. While this has been a practical decision, it was far from an easy one! Over the past decade I have had the honour of introducing some of your children to the routines of the school day, and the elements of learning that carry them on their way through the ranks of my beloved colleagues here at NCPS.

In 2001 when I began teaching in Creemore I owned a tiny house in Collingwood that I shared with my dog Ben, and had a boyfriend who had his own house a few blocks away! In the process of teaching your children, the boyfriend became my husband and I gained a step-daughter, the dog was given to another couple without

children, and we sold our respective houses and moved into a bigger house to raise the two children Richard and I have had together, Hallie and Duncan. This whole time, Creemore the school and your community have been either the backdrop or at the forefront of my life. The cumulative experience of teaching your children at NCPS and living in your community from Monday to Friday for 10 months of each year has shaped my life thus far. More simply put, I have “grown up here.”

The memories of teaching your children, coaching them in sports, and mostly reveling in their imaginations are too numerous to write down here. It is the hidden curriculum that I have inadvertently been taught by each and everyone of you that I wish to thank you for.

You have a true and fantastic community here in Creemore. You continue to rally around each other in a crisis – I remember Mikey Deslippe and now

that Jacob is in the hospital it’s happening again. You celebrate your wins, as you did when the Olympic torch came through Creemore in 2010. And you fight for the integrity of your community through listening to the voices and opinions that are written in this newspaper.

All of your children remain etched in my hearts as kindergarteners, and your families will grow into memories and role-models that will shape me in the future as a mother, parent, wife, daughter, teacher, community member and lifelong learner.

And on June 29 at 3:25 pm, as Mr. Morrison rings the school bell, I will be the person with a box of kleenex in her hands, trying in vain to hold back the tears as this decade of my life comes to an end.

I thank you all for the lessons learned.Miss/Mrs. Suzanne Halligan-Boughton

Pres iden t B o b Ve a l e announced our upcoming noon lunch at St. John’s United Church. This is always a great meal that we all enjoy. Bob then announced the death of former Seniors member Marg Tait. Marg and her husband Howard were members of Seniors for some time before they moved to Elliot Lake, Ontario.

Marg Ferguson then told a cute joke, and a humorous article brought in by Effie Taylor was read out.

There were 58 out for cards today and the 50/50 draws went to Effie Taylor, Charlie Donaghey, Karl Seifert, June Hartley, Bettty Bartlett, Gayle Gordon, Audrey Tidd and Pat Broad.

Moon shots were played by Doreen Murray, Elsie Longson, Bert Douglas, Pat Winger, Jim Rigney, Marg Ferguson and Jim Ferguson. Jim and Marg tied for the travelling prize which Jim Rigney won the Sidewinders loot.

High scorers were Wilma Zeggil 295, Marg Ferguson 285, Eileen Giffen 277 and irma Flack 260. Low was Warren Gale with 68.

There was a very nice supper held at

the Legion a short time ago. It featured beef or chicken kebabs with all the trimmings, including pie and a beverage. As always it was nice to chat with the folks you meet at these meals, and we were pleased to be able to share a table with Howard Hanson and my brother Jerry Jordan, who was “batching” it for the weekend while his wife Cynthia and daughter Shaylyn were away camping. Then, after that wicked wind brought down a huge branch from a Manitoba Maple tree onto our west driveway, Jerry arrived down here to cut grass but found himself helping Lorne Cleary get rid of the tree branch and brush so people could get in here on Sunday for the “Jack” family reunion. They did a really great job, and Lorne even raked up the small branches, etc, so one could hardly tell that anything out of the ordinary had happened there.

The family reunion was on Sunday, June 12, and it was a bit chilly and a lot breezy for people to sit around without wearing a jacket. So with the first splash of rain, we all crowded into the house and we dug up enough tables to hold the food. It was a potluck meal, and no one ever seems to bring just one dish, or one pie, etc. So you do need a lot of table space, as well as a huge appetite. By the time we got enough lawn chairs inside to seat everyone, it was pretty crowded.

But what it did do was have us all close enough together to talk easily, and that is when the sad, funny, strange or ridiculous old-time family stories get told. And there is always one or two folks who remember even more things that would have been kept quiet at the time. Such things as the two boys who were out in the half-ton truck one Sunday, when they hit a deer. The deer appeared dead, so they loaded it into the back of the truck. But their dad saw them coming – and, as the deer had recovered enough to stand up in the truck, as they drove into the yard the father burst out the door with a shotgun and shot the deer in the back of the truck. The venison was a real help to a large family, but you can appreciate the need to keep it quiet for some time as they had contravened several “game” laws, such as not hunting

on Sunday, and it not being hunting season to start with, they of course had no licence. But – they did have meat. And, so many years have passed, now these things (and many others!) can be told, which makes for a wonderful, humorous, warm get together. This, by the way, was the Jack family reunion – my mother’s mother’s side of the family.

We are looking forward to having daughter Sharon’s husband Guy, along with grandgirl Shannon and two of her family, Calum and Ashlyn, here for 10 days or so.

We are really sorry to mention the sudden passing, this past week, of Mercedes and Roy Veinot’s son Blair Veinot. Our hearts and our sympathy goes out to all the extended family members.

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

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

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

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

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

We’re ALL in this together.

Creemore resident Ashley Dunn (right) shocked her mother when she woke up one day last week and announced she’d decided to donate her hair, which she’d had trimmed but never cut, to kids with cancer. Proud mom Anna delivered these pictures to the Echo and said she shed a few tears as she watched her daughter bravely step up to the chair at Split Enz Hair Salon in Stayner. The hair will go to the Angel Hair For Kids Foundation.

An Important Hair Cut

Creemore residents and CCI students Lindsay Ventzke and Kirsten Lackie (left) have been taking an extra credit class on Sundays this semester, in preparation for a humanitarian trip to Equador this summer.

It’s a fitting way to finish high school for these two Grade 12 students who first formed a social action group together at Admiral Collingwood Public School. That group was called Youth Against Poverty; the one they are now members of at CCI is called Youth in Action. Ventzke and Lackie will be in Equador with two other group members, Emma Burland of Nottawa and Alonda Ariss of Collingwood, from July 27 to August 11. While there, they will help to build a school.

Both the trip and the course they’ve taken, which has introduced them to Spanish and development issues in Equador, are affiliated with the Me to We Foundation.

“We realize how much we have, and we want to help other people,” is how Lackie summed up their motivation.

To help raise money for her trip, Ventzke is auctioning off a beautiful queen-sized quilt made by Delsie Quesnel. Tickets are $2 and the raffle will be held at the Strawberry Supper at Knox Presbyterian Church in Dunedin. For tickets or more information, call Ventzke at 705-466-3235.

76 ACRE CREEMORE FARM~SPECTACULAR VIEWS

by Sarah WhitePress reporter for the Clearview Dairy & Georgian Triangle Miniature Horse 4-H ClubsIt is truly an amazing thing to see when you gather 23 young people together from two fantastic 4-H clubs, and June 6 was a great example of that.

The Clearview Dairy 4-H Club decided that, rather than travelling to the official 4-H “coaching night” in the southern tip of the County, we would hold our own coaching meeting in preparation for the County judging competition. The Georgian Triangle Miniature Horse Club was graciously invited to join in this fun and educational evening, which was held at Colin and Tanya Walker’s farm near Stayner.

The dairy leaders, Kevin Harvey and Colin Walker, coached us on giving reasons and we also gained hands-on experience in judging dairy cows and soybeans; Katrina Carruthers and Ryan Lewis gave verbal reasons for how they placed their classes.

Carolyn Aarup, from the Miniature Horse club, taught us how to judge Miniature Horses; and we also learned how to judge the other classes that we would face on June 13 at the judging competition.

On June 13, at least 116 young people between the ages of nine and twenty-one, from across South Simcoe County, gathered at the Great Northern

Exhibition grounds between Stayner and Collingwood, for the South Simcoe 4-H Judging Competition.

Members were divided into eight groups, with each group beginning with a different class and going from there. This year we judged two-year-old dairy heifers, replacement beef heifers, Miniature Horses, bagged lunches (all classes that we had to give reasons for how we placed them), sheep, soybeans, and safety boots. Members also completed a quiz about a variety of 4-H-related topics, such as the current president of South Simcoe 4-H, the number of clubs in South Simcoe,

the vice-president of 4-H Ontario, et cetera.

The primary purpose of the judging competition is to aid in decision-making, development of opinions; evaluation, memory, and speaking skills; and building confidence – but I think it’s safe to say that many of us also have fun while doing so!

I would like to thank our 4-H leaders, volunteers, and parents who have made it possible for so many of us to be involved in 4-H.

Thank you to Lynn Gowan for emceeing the event, to Judith Crawford for providing the bagged lunches, John

Den Haan for the safety boots, Kevin and Cheryel Harvey and family for the milking dairy heifers, Hill Haven Shorthorns for the beef heifers, Sharon-Ann MacKenzie for writing up the quiz, Garry Milne for the market lambs, isaiah Swidersky for the Soybean samples, and the White family for providing the Miniature Horses.

Last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank the GNE fair board for graciously allowing us to use the fairgrounds, and also for opening the food booth to feed the ravenous group of 4-H members, leaders, volunteers, and parents.

4-H clubs meet to judge mini horses and dairy cattle


At the B&B, we always ask our guests in advance whether they have any f o o d l i k e s / d i s l i k e s , allergies, or other dietary challenges. That way we can ensure we have the proper foodstuffs available so people can enjoy a happy and “safe” meal. Since I myself am allergic to shellfish, Stephen and I are very careful where certain foods and/or diets need to be accommodated. Over the years, we’ve seen just about every combination and permutation you could think of food wise – high protein, high carb, kosher, diabetic, lactose or gluten intolerant and last but not least, vegetarian.

Now the term “vegetarian” has quite a range of categories:

• Vegan – a person who doesn’t eat any animal products, including meat, fish, eggs or dairy;

• Ovo-lacto vegetarian – a person who eats eggs and dairy products but not meat;

• Fruitarian – a person who eats only fruit, nuts and seeds (haven’t met one of them yet but probably will);

• F lex i t a r i an – a somet ime vegetarian, who is flexible enough to occasionally eat dairy, fish, seafood,

meat and poultry, but g e n e r a l l y s t i c k s t o meatless meals.

So far we’ve managed to keep everyone happy and well-fed, but it can be a challenge!

I created this recipe for a group of ladies who recently stayed with us

over a weekend to hike the Bruce Trail. I cooked Saturday night dinner for them, and out of the six ladies, one was a vegetarian who didn’t eat meat but was okay with dairy. That meant making two entrées, but I am always up for trying something new and I like nothing better than experimenting with food. I made this recipe full size (expecting some leftovers) but the non-vegetarian ladies also tried it. They polished the whole dish right off as well as their regular entrées. There was nothing left except one lonely smear of Alfredo sauce in the bottom of the casserole dish, so I knew I was on to a good thing!

Don’t get me wrong. I am a very big fan of all things meat and poultry related, especially during barbeque season. But sometimes it is nice to have a change of pace and go meatless for dinner. It is also important when going meatless that you still incorporate enough protein into your dish, so

that your meal remains nutritionally balanced. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as our hiking ladies did.

Feedback is great and I would

Grilled Eggplant Alfredo with Mushrooms4 servings

2 large eggplants, cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch slices (produces 6 to 8 slices)

1 tablespoon sea saltExtra virgin olive oil (EVOO)1/2 pound Cremini mushrooms, quartered4 large Portobello mushrooms, sliced (stems removed)1 garlic clove, minced1 small bottle store bought Alfredo sauce*1/3 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheeseFresh ground black pepperArrange the eggplant slices on a large baking sheet and sprinkle

with sea salt (to extract moisture from the eggplant). Let sit for 15 minutes, then turn slices over and repeat on other side. Let sit for another 15 minutes, then rinse the eggplant to remove the salt and pat dry. Set gas barbeque grill to medium. Brush the eggplant slices with EVOO and grill until lightly browned and tender, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from grill and set aside.

In a small frying pan sauté the Cremini and Portobello mushrooms in 1 teaspoon of EVOO and 1 teaspoon minced garlic, until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

Using a rectangular casserole dish or lasagne pan, spread some of the Alfredo sauce over the bottom. Lay grilled eggplant slices over top, overlapping slices where necessary. Sprinkle mushroom pieces over top. Drizzle Alfredo sauce over top – I prefer a light drizzle but use as much as you like. Top with shredded parmesan cheese.

Bake in 325° oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until sauce is bubbling and parmesan cheese has melted. Serve immediately.

*If you have the time and inclination, you can use a homemade Alfredo sauce.

by Fred MillsCreemore travelled to Lisle on Saturday, where Angus awaited them. Brett Trott took the ball and pitched 4.1 innings, giving up three runs on only six hits. Matt Baldry came in for relief and pitched the final 2.2 innings, giving up only one hit. The Braves had six hits in total, with Chris Greer leading the way with three of them. The singles went to Todd Gowan, Brett Trott and Ryan Montgomery. Creemore left Lisle with a 4-3 win over Angus.

The Braves then continued their two-game road trip in Ivy on Sunday. Matt Baldry took the mound and the eventual loss, allowing 10 hits. Creemore had a 12-hit parade, with Tom Gateman leading the way with four of them. Collecting a pair were Todd Gowan and Robert Kingham. Bryan Post went deep for a three-run dinger, but that wasn’t enough as Creemore lost 9-8.

Creemore was happy to return to the village to host Lisle on Tuesday. Brad Grieveson took the mound and, allowing only five hits and six strikeouts gave a shutout performance. The Braves had six hits with a pair for Chris Greer and singles by Brad Grieveson and Rob Perkins. Both Steve Dowding and Tom Gateman went deep with solo homers. Final result: Creemore 6, Lisle 0

Don’t forget, on July 16 the New Lowell Knights will host their 3rd annual Ladies Day at the New Lowell Recreational Park. Last year they raised $1,400, which was donated to “The Fight Against Womens Cancer” walk last September.

For the junior members of your family who are being released from the school system at the end of June, we are organizing lots of fun and games with a literary bent at the library this summer. We are introducing the “Splash Club” with an after-school celebration on Tuesday, June 28 at the Creemore, Stayner and Sunnidale Branches. Please join us at this time for a piece of cake and to learn about the TD Summer Reading Program, which promotes and rewards reading throughout July and August.

Starting Tuesday, July 5, we will have expanded hours to accommodate the increased demand for our library services. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we will be open at 10 am instead of noon in the Creemore Branch. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, the Sunnidale Branch will now be open straight through from 10 am to 8 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Another one of the authors “on our shelves” is coming to the Sunnidale Branch at 10:30 am on Thursday, July 7 and to the Stayner Branch at 10:30 am on Saturday, July 9. Gabriel Mapel is only 11 years old and has published a wonderful book about black bears and the naughty people in their environment. Please add your name to the guest list (Sunnidale 705-424-6288 or Stayner 705-428-3595) to reserve a spot for your party.
