News and views in and around Creemore

by Trina Berlo A fire at an abandoned house on the border of Clearview Township and Collingwood is considered to be suspicious and is under investigation.

Clearview Township Fire Chief Colin Shewell said the OPP and the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal deemed the fire suspicious, prompting an investigation.

Fire crews from Clearview and Collingwood were called to the Sixth Street home, located between 10th Concession and Grey County Road 19, at about 8:30 p.m. July 2.

Shewell said crews had left the scene at about 11:30 p.m. but when police were securing the scene small fires began to burn again so firefighters were called back to the fire and stayed to control those hotspots.

Most firefighters were on site for about 12 hours with some staying longer to assist with the investigation. They used 75,000 to 100,000 gallons

Abandoned house fire under investigation

by Trina BerloClearview Township has hired Tim Hendry as its new communications and marketing coordinator but whether or not staff knew he was in a relationship with the mayor’s daughter remains to be seen.

According to Facebook posts, Hendry is in a relationship with Clearview Mayor Chris Vanderkruys’ daughter Kristin.

When contacted by The Echo, Hendry would not confirm or deny a relationship with the mayor’s daughter.

“I am not going to be commenting on anything yet until I officially start,” said Hendry adding he prefers to speak with the human resources manager when he

starts work on Monday. “As of now, I am not confirming anything. I am not commenting on anything.”

Clearview’s HR manager Pavlina Thompson would not comment on whether or not the relationship was known to staff.

“I am not in any position to discuss somebody’s personal affairs,” said Thompson. “That is personal information and whether I did or did not know, I am not confirming anything.”

She said Hendry will report to the CAO who made the decision on who to hire, along with Thompson. She said the selection is based on a point system.

of water to extinguish the fire. “It was an old house and it had

sawdust insulation and newspaper and a number of additions so the fire was hard to fight. We did it through an offensive attack. We didn’t want to injure any firefighters so it was all done from the outside which is why it probably took more water than normal,” said Shewell.

“Because it was an abandoned building, we didn’t feel i t was necessary to jeopardize the safety of our firefighters.”

The house had been scheduled for demolition about two weeks from the time of the blaze but it was demolished the day after the fire at the request of the fire chief for safety reasons.

Anyone with any information about the cause of the fire is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Tips can also be submitted online at www.crimestopperssdm.com.Clearview Fire Department photo

By Trina Berlo Clearview council has approved an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) allowing plans for the development of the Clearview Aviation Commerce Centre to proceed to the next step.

The amendment changes the designation on four properties adjacent to the Collingwood Regional Airport, located in Clearview Township, from agricultural to a special policy employment area serving the existing airport use. The lands are within a special policy area designated for such a use. Even with the amendment, a rezoning is still required.

“We are very pleased to get through this stage,” said project coordinator Paul Bonwick, adding it is the first of three steps in getting to final approval. “It’s a critical piece.”

A special council meeting was held July 10 to hold a vote on the amendment, which passed unanimously.

Clearview CAO Steve Sage said there are important timelines associated with the project and staff made a commitment one year ago to be mindful of timing. Now that it has been approved, the application moves to the County of Simcoe for final approval. A public meeting was held in March.

“Due to the timing constraints of both Clearview and Simcoe County

council the applicant and Clearview staff have made completing the attached OPA a high priority,” reported Sage. “The file has been moving through the necessary processes for a period of more than six months and as indicated within the Planning Act, six months should be sufficient time to process the file.”

Sage is signing off on the application after manager of planning Ray Kelso left the township under circumstance not disclosed to the public. Sage said it is his opinion and that of the planning staff that the development should go forward, keeping in mind there are many items that still need to be addressed through the rezoning process.

Mayor Chris Vanderkruys said he supports the amendment.

“We want to stress the idea that we are open for business. We have to change what we have, for business to move forward,” he said.

As stated in the OPA, permitted uses are limited to industrial and commercial uses that are directly supportive and related to the adjacent Coll ingwood Regional Airport business and operations including, for example aircraft sales and service, manufacturing, maintenance, shipping, storage, research establishments, commercial flight schools, including

associated short-term accommodation, business offices and small-scale accessory uses.

At the public meeting in March, landowners Remo Niceforo and Tony Bellissimo outlined their plans to develop a world-class commerce centre on about 300 acres that would result in more than $1.2 million in tax revenue for Clearview and 400 jobs.

Councillors were in support of proceeding with the amendment and expressed interest in getting down to the details about what businesses may locate there.

“The concern is ensuring there is definition between this project and the industrial lands project,” said Councillor Shawn Davidson adding that the uses should not compete too severely with the other development. “I am fully in support of the OPA and I hope the county will approve it so we can get to the details and get to the heart of the development…”

He said the development could have a great impact on the entire region.

After the meeting, Bonwick said in an ideal world there is hope of attracting one, two or three large aviation businesses as anchors and many ancillary operations. He said if they a attract a Bombardier type of business, they would get into “serious employment”.

Clearview approves aviation centre OPA

After a town hall meeting April 25, Mulmur council has agreed not to change the name of the township.

Due to a change in postal routes that resulted in everyone in the municipality being assigned a Mulmur, Ontario address, there was a suggestion that a name change to Town of Mulmur might be appropriate.

People attending the town hall meeting disagreed. Of the 80 or so people in attendance, most people

stood in opposition to the name change.Before the meeting, 62 people had

submitted comments, with 42 saying they oppose the change. Twelve people were in support and the balance had no opinion.

“We try to make decisions on the will of the majority of the people so I said, you made it loud and clear what your thoughts are on this so we brought it to council and passed a motion to leave it the way it was,” said Mayor Paul Mills.

Mulmur Township sticks with name

July 11 is Dairy Day. For the fourth year, Miller’s Dairy is

welcoming the public to tour the farm and meet the girls.

Owners Marie and John Miller are hoping people will take the opportunity to connect with the cows that provide their milk.

Visitors are welcome to tour the bottling plant, milking parlour and the barn while enjoying samples of milk and Belly ice cream, which is made with Miller’s Dairy milk. More than 2,000 people attended last year’s Dairy Day.

“We make our place available. This is the opportunity for people to come and connect with the cows and see how it all works,” said Marie.

The Millers offer a relaxing day on the farm and a chance to pet the cows and calves.

There will also be face painting and demonstrations by taekwondo champions.

Food will be for sale by Affairs Bakery, featuring the chocolate milkshake made with Miller’s Dairy chocolate milk, and Doug Mills is running a charity barbecue for RAY’s Place with hotdogs and buns donated by Foodland and the Millers contributing water and condiments.

Antique cars and tractors will be on display. Richard Millsap is bringing the antique tractors, which belonged to his late father, Glenn Millsap.

The farm is open from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Admission is free.

Miller’s Dairy is located at 7280 County Road 9, just east of Creemore.

“If you are reporting to someone, you cannot be related to that person. Tim Hendry is not related to Steve Sage in any shape or form. He didn’t know Tim until this time,” said Thompson.

She said the communications and marketing coordinator does not report to the mayor. The CAO is the only person who reports to the mayor.

Sage is away on vacation and could not be reached for comment.

Other council members said

they were not aware of the mayor’s relationship to Hendry and would not comment.

The Echo attempted to contact the mayor by phone and e-mail but did not hear back before press time.

Hendry is a social media marketer and owner of TRH Marketing, based in Wasaga Beach, and was at Laurentian University until last year. His current client list on Linkedin includes the Barrie Public Library, where the mayor works.

Hendry also appears in social media photos of the mayor.

The decision to hire a communications and marketing coordinator was made in March during budget deliberations. The staff position was a recommendation of the 2014 branding process, passed before Vanderkruys was mayor. He did vote in favour of creating the position though when it was almost chopped from this year's budget to save the expense of the annual salary of $56,000 plus benefits.

Allowing time for the birds to finish what they startedSeveral people stopped by the Creemore Echo

office to tell us about the bank swallows nesting at Clearview Township’s public works yard.

It is one of those feel-good stories that make people proud to live in a place like Clearview.

The story first came to our attention by Barbara Mann, an avid birder who happened upon the news that a township employee had been given a certificate of appreciation from the Ontario Field Ornithologists.

We couldn’t track down roads manager Tony Clarke, but general manager of transportation and drainage Gerry LeMay was kind enough to allow us access to the topsoil mound that is now home to many bank swallows. The soil was being used in the spring but then the birds moved in. The township has plans for the soil but that will have to wait until the birds move out.

The bank swallow is considered to be a threatened species but there is no government agency telling

Clearview to leave the dirt where it is. We don’t know what type of behind-the-scenes

conversations have taken place with regard to the birds but their accommodation is still standing.

No doubt, those little birds are causing some big headaches as crews try to get certain work done during the summer months.

It is just so cool that they have been left in peace.Allowing the birds to remain undisturbed until

the end of their nesting season in late summer is a small gesture that says a lot about Clearview’s core values. We can step back and let nature take its course.

The colony, with its many holes, can be seen from Nottawasaga 27/28 Sideroad and although the adult birds are out and about, the baby birds are hidden away inside.

For bird enthusiasts and people who want to restore a little bit of their faith in humanity, it is worth a detour.

No place for nepotismEdiTOriAl

Whether or not a recent hire at Clearview Township violates township policies or provincial policies, the optics of having hired someone with a close connection to a member of council aren't good.

On June 25, 2014 Clearview Township’s senior staff approved Human Resource policies and procedures under the subject of anti-nepotism.

Nepotism is defined for the purposes of the policy as favoritism granted to relatives or close friends, usually in the form of hiring practices, and employment activities.

The stated purpose of the document is to ensure hiring processes are free of any conflict of interest and was adopted to ensure that nepotism does not occur at Clearview Township.

The policy states, Clearview Township is an equal opportunity employer, and will strive to ensure that fair hiring practices are utilized at all times. To ensure that the organization and hiring processes are free of any conflict of interest, this policy was adopted to ensure that nepotism does not occur at Clearview Township and to legitimately prevent a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest that arises through the hiring or employment of close friends and relatives; and/or legitimately prevent the misuse of authority and influence or the appearance of such misuse.

We don't yet know for sure if any policies have been violated but we do believe the relationship between Tim Hendry and Chris Vanderkruys is of interest to our readers.

If the existing policies do not put in place true safeguards from this type of situation, there is an opportunity to improve those policies.

The township must address this issue. All members of council must be informed as to the situation.

Having hired a person who has a direct and personal relationship with the mayor, be it past or present, is not an issue that can be ignored.

Because this issue relates to an identifiable individual who, as of Monday, will be on the township's payroll, the discussion will have to be in-camera. But there is opportunity here for a mayor who ran on a platform of openness and transparency to speak publicly on the matter.

We don't yet know the whole story. People are not talking.

We do think the first challenge of the new communications officer is going to be a big one and perhaps clearing up this matter is a good start. Explanations are needed.

The landfill site is being used by an independent waste management company, Green for Life.

Residents will be allowed to drop off waste materials at the Mulmur landfill site into roll off bins, which Green for Life will haul away and dispose of the material. For the initial three days Green for Lifewould like to offer three waste streams of General waste, construction waste and yard waste.

by Trina Berlo Clearview Township is amending its 2015 budget to add the purchase of industrial lands in Stayner.

Council approved the $260,000 purchase and an additional $140,000 for servicing and other improvements plus $41,000 in annual loan payments to be paid by a transfer from the land sale reserve.

It also authorized the treasurer to apply for a loan with TD Bank for an amount of up to $350,000 with a term of up to five years and a 10-year amortization.

The purchase will be financed with a $50,000 transfer from the roads capital grant reserve and a $350,000 loan.

Council approved the expenditures at a council meeting July 6 after an in-camera session without any public discussion.

The purchase of the lands permits the servicing of a road in the Industrial Servicing area, located in the southwest portion of Stayner, by

way of providing a sufficiently sized road right of way, reported treasurer Edward Henley.

“The lands that are necessary to be purchased exceed the amount of land required for the right of way. The land not required for the right of way will be severed into approximately five lots. These lots will be serviced and then be available for sale at a suitable point in time,” writes Henley.

“I t i s the intent ion that the approximate five parcels of subdivided land would be sold at or above cost, including estimated financing charges within the 10-year amortization period of the loan. The proceeds of the sale of the five parcels would go to replenish the land sale reserve.”

Henley recommends borrowing from the bank instead of Infrastructure Ontario so the loans can be repaid more aggressively as the lands are sold, hopefully within five years. The money would also be used to replenish the reserve.

this done for our people because I have heard nothing but complaints because they have to drive all the way to Orangeville and I understand that,” said Mills.

He said the biggest thing is that it is not costing the municipality anything, the company is using the municipal facility to offer a transfer station, saving people a trip.

Waste will be accepted from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 19, Oct. 3 and Oct. 17. Fees range from $5 per bag up to $100 for large loads such as cube vans and large trailers.

Green for Life will not accept soil, concrete or brick.

Future collection dates will be determined based on participation.

by Trina Berlo A colony of bank swallows has made condominiums out of a pile of topsoil at the Clearview Township public works yard near Stayner.

The birds have made holes, perhaps hundreds of holes, in a large deposit of soil.

The bank swallow is considered a threatened species in Ontario.

Their territories usually include vertical cliffs or banks where they nest in colonies of 10 to 2,000 nests, according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Bank Swallows were most commonly found around natural bluffs or eroding streamside banks, more and more often these swallows populate human-made sites, such as sand and gravel quarries or road cuts.

The swallows set up residence in the spring and are now nesting. It is expected they will vacate the soil mound by September or October.

Roads crews are waiting until the chicks have fledged before they use the topsoil.

The swallows have been at the yard for the past few years. Just recently, the Ontario Field Ornithologists gave Clearview Township roads manager Tony Clarke a certificate of appreciation for protecting a sand pile in which bank swallows were nesting in 2014.

The organization said, “This is a prime example of our ability to help species at risk.”

Clearview Township public works yard is for the birds

The annual all-star games of the North Dufferin Baseball League were played July 4 in Midland.

The senior division game was on tap first between the West and East Stars. The east took an easy 7-1 win. The junior division game between the Crushers and the Slammers was a tight affair with the Crushers prevailing with an 11-9 win.

For the senior game both sides scored a run in the first inning of play but the East pitching was near perfect only allowing the West five hits over the nine-inning contest.

The East scored a run in each of the second and third frames and added two more in each of the fifth and sixth for the final of 7-1.

The East had some timely hits by Kurt Roy with two singles and Chris Fafalios with two doubles. Rob Parent, Mitchell Pike, Matt Drury, ian Rettie, Josh Hickey, and Colin McKeen each singled for the winning team.

Fafalios also topped the runs column when he crossed the plate three times.

The West managed hits from Tristan Cabral who started the game with a triple and run scored. Sean Connor, Tyler Linger, Kevin Dumond and Mack Morrish chipped in with singles.

Brad Crosby started on the mound for the East and through three innings allowed one run on two hits, one walk and struck out three batters. Drury pitched the next three innings giving

up two hits and two walks with Rettie closing the game for the final three innings allowing no hits, one walk and striking out one batter.

Pitching duties for the West fell to Chad Watters who over four innings allowed three runs on three hits, one walk, and sitting down two. Liam Jacques came in for two innings and allowed four runs on six hits striking out one. Jesse Mcintyre finished the game in the eighth and ninth frames allowing two hits while fanning one.

The stellar performance by Fafalios

crowned him MVP for the East going two for two, a hit by pitch, and three runs scored. The West MVP was Cabral who tripled and scored the only run for his team.

The junior division game had the Crushers meet the Slammers, each having players from all the teams in the league and then divided into two squads. The result was a very close ball game and some interesting plays. In the end, the Crushers took the game 11-9 over the Slammers.

Picking up hits for the Crushers were Mac Sealy, Alex Banski, Devon Wu with two hits, Matt Gill with four, Brayden French with a single and a double, Riley Davies with two singles and a double, and Josh Wilkins who singled and had two doubles.

The Slammers got on the scoreboard with hits from Brennan McGillvary, Jordan Kight, Cole Newton, Aaron White, Cam McPherson, and two hits each from Brett Scott, Rielly Swailes, Tristan Hill and Alex Lojko. John Malarczyk had the only homerun of the day, which came in the eighth inning.

Both teams had four players toe the rubber. The Crushers started with Wu for the first four innings. Wu allowed one run on five hits, had one hit batsman and fanned six batters. Matt Gill followed for two innings allowing five runs on four hits, two walks, and one strike out.

Players dazzle at all-star game in Midland

Brayden French pitched the seventh inning giving up no runs and allowing only two hits. Aaron Giroux ended the game giving up three runs on four hits, one walk and sitting down two for his two innings.

Carter Chapley started on the mound for the Slammers giving up seven runs on eight hits, walking four and hitting one batter. He had two strikeouts through his three innings. Aaron White pitched four frames allowing two runs on seven hits, three walks, and three strikeouts. Alex Lojko pitched one inning allowing two runs on two hits with two walks. Jordan Kight pitched the final inning and had two hit batters while giving up no hits or runs.

Most valuable players for the juniors went to Gill of the Crushers for his work at the plate going four for four, one run scored and pitching two innings. Malarczyk of the Slammers picked up the title for his home run, two RBI’s and three defensive catches in left field.

SKY BLUE EQUESTRIANBoarding/training/lessons

The Leisure Time Club is holding a Bid Euchre Tournament July 25 with lunch at noon and cards beginning at 1 p.m.

Each Wednesday in July the Nancy Island Lions Club is holding a Bid Euchre tournament at 1 p.m. in the RecPlex.

We missed singing Happy Birthday to those with birthdays in July so hope all those people have a great birthday.

Forty-five members came out to play cards and Lucky Draws were won by Ruth Lougheed, Corrine Brownridge, John Van Voorst, Dave Smith, May Johnston, Sherry Lohnes, Martin Verstraten, Melvin Lougheed, Pat Winger, Kevin Keogh and Marg Falls.

There were four Moon Shots played by Evelyn Warden, Marcia Cameron, Morris Tymchuk with the travel prize to Melvin Lougheed.

Winners for cards were Marj Thomson, 310; May Johnston, 283; Wayne Brownridge, 282; Marcia Cameron, 276 and low prize went to Toosje Vasvari, 109.

A little Gotcha: An American named Harry visiting Australia, chewing gum and annoying a local gentleman named Kevin while he was trying to have a quiet snack of crescents and jam.

Harry still chewing his gum asked Kevin if in Australia people eat the crusts of bread, to which he replied “of course we do.”

Now Harry said at home we cut the crusts off and make crescents and ship them to Australia.

Harry then asked Kevin if in Australia they make jam from only the fruit and discard the stems to which Kevin replied, “of course we do”.

Harry still chewing and snapping his gum said “in America we gather all the stems and cores and mix them up and

send them over here as jam.” Kevin was so fed up with this arrogant fool he asked Harry “do you people discard the foreskin after the cut?” Harry replied, “Of course we do”. Kevin then told Harry, “in Australia we process them and send them off to America as chewing gum.”

A father and his 24-year-old son were riding on a bus on their way home from the hospital. The son remarked, “Look Dad the trees are running behind us”. Then the son said, “Look Dad the clouds are running along with us”. A young couple sitting near them were laughing and making fun of the son’s remarks. Finally the young couple said, “Hey Dad, why don’t you get your son some professional help he clearly needs?”

The father looked them straight in the eye and said, “My son was born blind and just got his eyes today.” Some people are so insensitive.

Remember: Carry a heart that never hates. Carry a smile that never fades. Carry a touch that never hurts.

Maybe we can’t touch their handOr see their smiling face

Maybe we can’t hear their voiceOr feel their warm embrace

But something we will always haveTucked safely on our hearts

Our love for them, their love for usWill never let us part.

Always lovedNever forgotten by

Joan, Stan, Marlene, Wayne, Brenda, Heather, Jack and Robert.
