Clearview Township celebrated International Trails Day last Saturday by cutting the ribbon on the municipality’s newest section of trail, running along the old railway from Highway 26 to Station Park. It’s now possible to ride or walk by trail from Station Park all the way to Collingwood.

On hand for the festivities were (at right) Councillor Thom Paterson, Councillor Roger McGillvray, CAO Sue McKenzie, Mayor Ken Ferguson, Angela Foulds (representing Simcoe-Grey MP Helena Guergis), Nathan Westendorp (representing Simcoe County), George Christie of the Collingwood Trails Network and Councillor Robert Walker.

CELEBRATING TRAILS

by Brad HoldenAfter four years without a pay increase, Clearview Councillors are hoping to hear from the public before putt ing a remuneration policy in place that will prevent the next Council from having to deal with the touchy issue.

Currently, the Mayor of Clearview Township earns an annual salary of $28,317, the Deputy Mayor makes $22,379 and Councillors earn $17,748. One third of each of those salaries is paid out as expenses, rendering that portion tax free.

Those amounts have not changed since 2006, when the previous Council neglected to put a policy in place that would carry forward. If Council’s salaries had been subject to the same cost-of-living adjustment as Township staff salaries have received over that period, the Mayor would now be making $31,948, the Deputy Mayor $25,249 and the Councillors $20,024.

While admitting he was wary of broaching the sensitive subject, Councillor Shawn Davidson requested a staff report on remuneration at Council’s May 17 meeting, expressing his desire to deal with the situation before the end of the current term in September.

“It isn’t about the money,” he reiterated upon receiving the report Monday night, “but at the same time, if you want to attract good people, you need to offer fair remuneration.”

The report, presented by CAO Sue McKenzie, referenced a recent exercise by Springwater Townsip, during which a Council Remuneration Ad Hoc Committee was established, consisting of a former Councillor and two local business owners, to review the level and method of Council remuneration during the 2010-2014 term of office.

That committee surveyed 13 municipalities in the County of Simcoe, 10 with populations under 20,000, and recommended that Springwater remuneration be on the level of $31,543 for the Mayor, $24,087 for the Deputy Mayor and $19,106 for Councillors, and that these salaries be subject to the same annual cost-of-living adjustments as those of staff. Springwater also decided to include Council in the Township benefits package, including health and dental coverage, life insurance and enrollment in the Ontario Municipal Employees pension plan.

In discussing the report, Councillors Thom Paterson and Doug Measures seemed keen to strike a committee here in Clearview, but others argued that Springwater had already done the work, and it was not necessary to reinvent the wheel.

But as for where to set Clearview’s salaries going forward, Councillors expressed interest in hearing what the public thought, informally, before making a decision.

C l e a r v i e w To w n s h i p h a s never before offered its elected representatives benefits and a pension, and Councillor Davidson offered that perhaps a package could be offered as an option, with the Township contributing on a 50/50 basis.

Davidson also told Council what he would be comfortable with moving forward, which would be for Council’s 2011 remuneration to be set at the same level it’s been since 2006, and that every year thereafter to have it adjusted according to whatever is lower: the Consumer Price Index or the agreed increase for Township union employees.

With that , Counci l lor Thom Paterson said they should “get it out in the public and get some feedback” before making a final decision in late June.

Davidson agreed. While only Paterson has declared his intention to run for the next term of office, Davidson predicted that a few of the current Councillors would likely be back, and with that in mind, “it’s hard to make a decision that we might benefit from,” he said. “So we’d really like some help.”

(Continued from page 1) Tow Truck LicensingWith several tow truck operators in

the audience, Council grappled with a complicated issue Monday night, eventually directing staff to draft a “Towing Licensing Bylaw” that will regulate the industry and allow more operators than a new OPP policy.

The towing industry has traditionally been self-regulated, but the OPP has become increasingly concerned about interlopers from outside the area scanning police radio dispatches and speeding to accident scenes to solicit service before the arrival of the police or fire department. To put an end to this practice, the OPP has instituted a “standing order” stating that police will only call tow companies that have an appropriately zoned compound within their detachment area.

This is problematic for Clearview Township, which sits in the OPP’s Huronia West Detachment (along with Wasaga Beach and Springwater Township) but which has traditionally been serviced by tow companies in Collingwood and Grey County.

The situation is further complicated by the fact that the Clearview Zoning Bylaw does not specifically reference towing operations, making it difficult to discern whether towing companies with facilities in the Township are valid under the OPP regulation.

The way around this, according

to Bylaw Enforcement Officer Phil Snape, is to have the Township enact its own Licensing Bylaw, which would supercede the OPP standing order.

Some Councillors were reluctant to take this step, however, as they

were wary of creating another level of bureaucracy.

In the end, it was agreed that staff should draft the Licensing Bylaw and that Council could debate the issue further before deciding whether or not to enact it.

FUNDRAISING SUCCESS FOR LOG CABIN Creemore Log Cabin Service Board chair Chris Raible gave Council an update on his group’s fundraising efforts Monday night and received a surprise personal donation from Mayor Ken Ferguson in return. The Mayor’s gesture meant that the group has now received financial contributions from 212 individuals, families, corporations and a foundation. The big news that Raible brought to Council is that, while the group is still seeking donations, it can now guarantee that it will be able to relocate the Creemore Log Cabin without any financial help from the Township. He anticipated that groundbreaking will take place between the Library and the Jail in the next few weeks and that a grand opening will be celebrated this year.

THE WAY WE WERE

LETTER

Dear Editor:For those of you who don’t know my son Jessie Hill

and those who do, he was raised in the Creemore area from age 5. He went to school here, was involved in hockey and worked at Jug City for a few years. He has done some volunteer work for the Fire Department and for the Salvation Army at Christmas. I was glad to hear that our comrades at Clearview Station 4 were willing to help support my son by having this fundraising raffle.

Over a year and a half ago, Jessie had a very serious infection in his foot and was treated aggressively with a very strong antibiotic. Within a very short time, kidney failure occurred. Jessie is now on dialysis three times a week. Since the kidney failure, Jessie has had surgery on both eyes, one of which has left him blind. His good eye sees 20 to 80 per cent on a good day. A diabetic-related bone disease in his other foot has contributed to him losing that foot up to his shin. Jesse has been a diabetic since the age of three.

Jesse was a very active, hard-working and fit young man before all this occurred and for the most part still is. He just turned 30 years old.

Jessie is now waiting for a kidney and a pancreas. Earlier this year, Jessie was told that he was 15th on that list, down from 60th last year. Jessie is a very proud, strong-minded, sincere and honest young man, and yes, he is still easygoing with a good attitude about life. He wants to work and plans to get back to it once his life can get back to normal. His physical and emotional struggles have been challenging, but for the most part have been overcome.

His financial struggle is another story. I am hoping and pleading with all of you to show your support for him and me and purchase tickets for this fundraiser

to assist him with that struggle. His family has done what they can, but sometimes it isn’t enough. We need your help. Donations can be made as well. Just contact our friends and comrades at Clearview Station #4 to buy tickets. Donations can be made to the treasurer, Ed VanSeveren, at 466-3754.

Thank you for reading and lending your support. Tickets are being sold to win over 50 prizes and donations are always appreciated.

Respectfully, Joanne Rohde, Jessie Hill and all of our family

and friends.

Our annual subscription drive comes to an end this Saturday, with Fred and Sara again hanging out at the Farmers’ Market coffee booth, this time sharing the space with the Purple Hills Arts & Heritage Society, who will be raising money for their ongoing cultural programs as well as selling tickets for their upcoming Garden Tour on Saturday, June 26.

Once again, we have seen a great response to our request that our readers pay for something that they essentially get for free. While this is still a confusing concept to some, many of you understand that your annual subscription support helps ensure that Creemore continues to have a thriving, independent weekly newspaper – one that remains available to all, so that everyone in the community can be a part of the conversation, whether it’s about local politics, our shared history or the host of events that take place here every weekend.

Think of us a little like you think of public television in the States. While PBS is available to everyone who has basic cable, the station’s affiliates have periodic membership drives, and there is a long tradition of their viewership stepping up to help out. We hope we haven’t been as annoying as the hosts that constantly interrupt programs during those drives, but we essentially have the same message. If you enjoy the newspaper you receive in your mailbox every Friday, if you use the Community Calendar, scan the Classifieds, read the articles or peruse the advertisements, please consider buying a $45 subscription – call it a membership, if you want! – to show your support for one of the few true community newspapers left in these parts.

We have a large group of loyal subscribers already, and we’ve had a chance to catch up with many of them as they’ve dropped off their payment at the coffee booth over the past three weeks. It would be really great to end this year’s drive with a bunch of new subscriptions. If you haven’t subscribed before, please pay us a visit at the Market or at our office. We’d love to have you join our “club!”

Thank You Subscribers

There were 50 people out for cards today, and, after a cute joke by Barb Pilon, the 50/50 draws went to Eileen Nash, Ron Hartley (who then drew his wife June’s ticket, leading to some good-natured ribbing about it being “fixed!”), Ruby Klinck, Lucy young, Jean Olmstead and Lillian Hiltz.

Moon shots were played by Jim Rigney, Jean Olmstead (2), Warren Gale, Bob Veale, Dave Smith (2), Ray Broad, Phyllis Seed, Eileen Nash and Marg Ferguson (2). Marg won the travelling prize and Jim won the Sidewinder’s money.

Our high score this week was a whopping great 356, played by Warren Gale, followed by Irma Flack with another great score of 343,and then Jean Olmasted 308 and Ray Broad 307 – all very nice scores. Low was little Audrey Tidd with 89. The hidden score was 170 and, as it was not matched, it will be worth $15 next week.

We had a trip to Rama last week, and we thank everyone that joined us for coming and making our trip a “go”. We had several lucky people – nothing huge, but nice wins – and the real bonus was that they are all really nice people, and fun to be with. Phyllis Seed has some lovely neighbours who join us (from Alliston) which is a great help to our numbers. And thanks to Tara Keith for taking over Norma Johnston’s role of providing us with goodies for the trip home. And, speaking of Norma Johnston,

as we are crossing the “Narrows” at Orillia on the bus, she always sings out, loud and clear “Are we there yet?” Well, as Norma wasn’t there on Tuesday, as we were nearing the Narrows, Ray Leighton said “Now!” – and all of us at the front of the bus

yelled out “Are we there yet?”. The driver looked startled, and I think he thought we had all lost our marbles – but we were proving that Norma might be away, but she wasn’t forgotten! She is, informally, the instigator and perpetrator of our mantra of “Are we there yet?”

Monday night a lot of the kids in the School Band had a concert at the Anglican Church. We were unable to attend, but managed to make the one on Tuesday night at the Legion. We wanted to be there as our neice, Shaylyn Jordan, played a couple of pieces on the piano, and then joined a group that played the bells, which was lovely to listen to. And, as son Terry, also known as “Mantracker” had arrived the night before from Lindsay (by way of Dennis and Linda Grant’s!) he surprised Shay by being in the audience. The kids put on a great performance, which we all enjoyed. And there was an added bonus when several of the band (and others) had their picture taken with “Mantracker.” The Legion has always supported the School Band, and this “Thank You” performance helped to show everyone how well their donation was being utilized. It also helps the kids to gain

confidence by “doing their thing” in front of a group of strangers. So to their teachers, and all the people who aid the band one way or another, well done!

Another person who deserves a “Well done” is Mark McMaster – formerly from Stayner, and fondly known as “Murph.” Mark attended

Stayner Collegiate Institute, and continued on to become a teacher. He is presently employed at Westmount Charter School in Calgary, which is a school for gifted learners. “Murph” teaches “Project Earth Class” which covers the Earth, Animals and Environment, and his students create mini environments (rain forest, desert, etc) right in the classroom. This year he received a certificate in recognition of his becoming an “Excellence in Teaching Semi-Finalist” in the Province of Alberta. Westmount has a huge music/band programme and has nine different bands/orchestras/choral classes. Both our “Rowe” grandgirls have gone to this school. Their mother, Laurie, says the one thing that stood out and might be different from other teenagers and school was that not once did she wake the kids for school and find that they did not want to go. Even if they weren’t feeling well, they still wanted to go to school. Quite the kudos for any school. Westmount School had three – Mark McMaster and two other teachers – who were Provincial Finalists this year. Last year they had two teachers (Neil Robinson and Rona McEachern-Reid) who were National Semi-Finalists. A real accolade for Westmount School. And, having Mark McMaster from Stayner Collegiate attain Provincial Honours is a feather in the cap for his (probably former) Stayner high school teachers.

Walker is a compassionate company. I can speak from the heart on that. When I was off with a serious illness, they gave me the time and support I needed to heal. And I’m not the only one they’ve done that for. They were very understanding. My situation could have been worse had it not been for the company. I truly appreciate their kindness.

We need aggregates. Look at all the growth in Simcoe County. The whole area couldn’t grow without the roads, the houses, the driveways. And you can’t have those without aggregates. Walker takes pride in all they do. Look at their operations. They take care of their properties, during operations and beyond.

It’s green everywhere and isn’t it just too pretty for words? The weather has finally warmed up and everyone is out working on their lawns and gardens. We’ve been bringing fresh cut lilacs into the house and their lovely scent is a constant reminder that summer is very close.

Although we were busy tending to B&B guests, we did manage to make it to the opening of the Creemore Farmers’ Market at the Station on the Green a couple of weeks ago. Half of the fun of the market is picking up fresh food, flowers, herbs, etc.; the other half is meeting and greeting the neighbourhood. It’s certainly a great place to catch up on all the latest! My biggest find was Charlene Nero’s candied walnuts, which I used in a salad

Going with the Greensthat night – these tasty little treats saved me having to make them myself. Hopefully I can get to the market earlier as the weeks go by so that I can stock up on fresh greens and other fruits and veggies as they start to come into season (and before everyone else

scoops them up).And speaking of greens, I don’t

know if you’re the same as me, but when it gets hot outside it’s less fun to turn on the oven inside. So Stephen and I start eating more salads for dinner. By adding in a handful or two of grilled chicken, steak or tofu, you ensure you get enough protein to make your side salad into a healthy main course meal. I sometimes barbeque meats ahead of time, cut them into small slices, and pop them in the freezer for later. Then

all you have to do is pull out a handful per person, reheat and toss on top of your salad.

This week’s recipe came about last summer when we rented a cottage for two weeks north of Bancroft. I felt like making a Caesar salad to go with dinner but didn’t have all the regular ingredients, so as usual I had to improvise. The results were good

chunks but whatever your preference is fine). Toss baguette croutons into a large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle EVOO over top of croutons. Rough grind fresh black pepper over top. Then cook the croutons until toasted, flipping them over to cook all sides. If needed, drizzle more EVOO over top. Once cooked, set aside.

In a one cup measure, place 1/4 cup regular olive oil and the minced garlic – stir and let sit for half an hour. Then add mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Whisk until well-mixed and smooth.

Wash romaine lettuce, break into bite size pieces and dry in a salad swirler. Pour greens into a large salad bowl. Toss greens with dressing until well coated. Add croutons and parmesan cheese. Toss again and serve immediately.

Available aggregate resource is largely constrainedThere are very few sources of rock in Ontario of a quality high enough to be used as aggregate for building and construction. Most bedrock is not suitable. Dolostone rock and some limestones, particularly high calcium limestone, are the best quality aggregate.

“People in Clearview need to remember that the growth of this community starts right here. Whether it’s county roads, local roads, lane ways, infrastructure, foundations – the aggregate comes from our quarry. And it’s a quality product.” - Ray Martin, Health and Safety Trainer

“If everyone quit the aggregate industry, there would be no economy. For the amount of building going on locally, it makes sense to have a local supply of aggregate, especially with escalating fuel prices. Otherwise we’d have to truck it in – imagine what that carbon footprint would look like.”-Paul McMullen, Lead Hand

Approximately 70% of all aggregate resource in Ontario is located within the Oak Ridges Moraine and the Niagara

Escarpment – both are highly regulated. Only the Escarpment Rural designation allows consideration of amendments to permit new quarries.

One of the Plan objectives is to provide for new extraction areas within the Escarpment Rural area, subject to a Plan amendment.

Much of Ontario’s aggregate resource is not available for several reasons:

existing development too much overburden environmental constraints such as wetlands, streams and endangered species

Our Duntroon location is a good choice for a number of reasons:

Excellent quality stone Existing customer base; close to market Experienced existing workforce Existing infrastructure Existing environmental knowledge Established community relationships Fronts onto an existing haul route Aggregate reserve is not constrained by signi�cant environmental features Reserve not sterilized due to existing development Extraction can comply with provincial standards and regulationsLocated within the rural designation of the Niagara Escarpment Plan

The date was June 26, 1959, the last day of school before summer vacation at School Section Number 15, Nottawasaga – Madill’s School – at the corner of the Tenth Line and Sideroad 6/7. I was trying to make some order out of the big old teacher’s desk. Down in the right hand corner, way at the back, I found a school record book that contained one of the best local school histories I have ever found. I reluctantly put the book back but I never forgot it.

The school closed a couple of years later. In 1979, when I was writing Has the Bell Rung Yet? I started phoning various people to ask if anyone knew where the records went from the school. No one seemed to know. Silently, and not so silently sometimes, I scolded whomever let that important book get lost.

Now it is 2010, 51 years later. I was recently at an event at Dunedin Hall when Judy Halliday said she’d like to give me a couple of books she knew I’d enjoy. Well, you guessed it! There was the school record book with Madill’s School history in the back. Judy and her sister, Joy, believe her mother got the books at an auction sale.

Here is the story about Madill’s School – may it never get lost again.

“The original section was much larger than the present one. It consisted of all that part of the Maple Valley section lying east of the Town Line, and extended to Dunedin in the opposite direction. While one of the first schools in this district was established in Dunedin in the house now occupied by Mr. George Scriver [this history was written possibly in 1944], a Dunedin school was later built up nearer Lavender, on the farm at the top of the hill, now occupied by Mr. Carman Weatherall. To the south the section extended over to and beyond the Garden of Eden, and to the north as far as Pine Tree Sideroad, including most of the Blind Line section.

“It is no wonder the attendance in the olden days was much larger. Old residents estimate the average attendance variously between eighty and ninety while today it ranges from eight to nine.

“At the present time children attend fairly regularly but in the olden days the winter months

The Lost is Found – a Short History of Madill’s Schoolsaw the greatest number at school. During the spring, summer and autumn months the boys were busy helping at home. Many of the boys had grown into manhood before they passed the entrance (Grade 8). Due to the large attendance the pupils often used to separate into gangs – the north against the south, or Dunedin against Maple Valley, and snowball fights in those days were no “pink tea” affairs, usually ending up in a free-for-all fistfight. Order could be obtained only by the frequent and energetic use of the birch rod. Even the Master’s authority was sometimes challenged, and in order to uphold the prestige of his dignified position, the Master was obliged to fight it out.

“The original school stood a few rods to the northwest of the present one. It was a log structure with a large roomy porch in front, and although old, was very well lighted. There were rows of windows on each side as well as a large one facing south. The seating arrangement in the old school would to us today seem strange. The desks were fastened to the east and west walls, forming one continuous desk from one end of the school to the other. The desks extended out from the wall for about two and one half feet. Under the desk was a place for books and slates. The girls sat on one side of the room and the boys on the other. The centre of the room was taken up with the stove and other benches. In this area the Master would hear the pupils recite their lessons.

“Although there were undoubtedly more teachers than those of whom we have record, some of the foremost were David Honeywell (who was a brother of Mrs. Cooper, Dunedin), Miss Botte, Miss Mary Ann McKinnon and Mr. Morrow.

“With the mention of Mr. Morrow’s name we feel that we have emerged from the period of ancient to modern history. Mr. Morrow taught only a very short time in the old school until it was decided to build a new one. The old school was replaced about sixty-four years ago (1880). The school and the church were both built the same year [Note: this was the Methodist, later United Church, on the northeast corner] and by the same man, Mr.

Alma Scarrow who lives in Creemore. With such a contract before him Mr. Scarrow built a temporary dwelling beside his work, and his sister kept house for him. Mr. Morrow was at that time full of pep, and sometimes full of liquor. He met, loved and married Miss Scarrow. The cares of matrimony soon caused him to forget the foolish ways of youth, and from that day to his death a few years ago he continued to live a useful and well-ordered life.

“Mr. and Mrs. Morrow lived for some time in the old school, then moved to the Stewart’s farm which is now Mr. Fachnie’s cattle ranch. From there he went to Mr. Trickay’s summer resort. Later he bought the farm now occupied by Mr. Edgar Metheral, and lived there until his service in S.S. #15 ended.

“Mr. Scarrow, having lost the services of one housekeeper, soon found another in the person of Miss Susanna Scott, and aunt of Mr. Harold Scott of Maple Valley. The church was finished and to celebrate its completion Mr. Scarrow and Miss Scott were the first couple to be married there.

“The land of the present school was donated by Mr. Thomas Madill, who owned the farm. He was one of the earliest settlers, coming from County Monoghan, Ireland, eighty-five years ago (1859). His house stood on that part of the farm now known as the Brown orchard.

“The early settlers were predominantly Irish and English. The Lindsays came from County Down, Ireland, and the Metherals from Manchester, England. Some of the other families were Kembars, Creightons, Scotts, Happers, Bowermans and Hamiltons.

“Mr. Morrow, mentioned above, taught at Madill’s for forty-three consecutive years.”

Notes by Helen Blackburn: The Fachnie farm was situated on the northwest corner of the four corners and the Edgar Metheral farm was on the northeast corner. Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Campbell owned the property in later years. Mr. Trickay’s property was to the south beyond the two gulleys and on the east side of the Tenth Line. A thank you to Bob Campbell for the additional information he provided.

Simcoe County is growing. If the aggregate isn’t coming from here to build our roads and infrastructure, it will come from outside the county, putting more strain on the transportation system. If it’s going to be used close by, it should come from here. Should we be shipping aggregate here from Milton? No. That’s not environmentally responsible for us to do. Walker is such an environmentally conscious company that it will do the right thing.

I was born and raised in Simcoe County, and I love living here. Walker has a great family atmosphere, which I really enjoy. If the quarry were to close, I’d face moving or commuting to the GTA.

Summer Activities

by Sarah Lea WhiteThe Clearview Dairy 4-H Club held its first meeting of 2010 on Wednesday, May 5, at the home of Kevin and Cheryl Harvey. Club leaders are Kevin Harvey and Colin Walker.

At this meeting, we introduced ourselves, filled out forms, elected club executive, set dates and topics for future meetings, discussed show dates, planned an outing to Wasaga Paintball and a barn tour at Wasaga Beach of Langman’s dairy barn with a robotic milking system; and also played a fun game to break the ice and get to know one another.

The 2010 club executive is as f o l l o w s : P r e s i d e n t : K a t r i n a Carruthers; Vice President: Ashley Harvey; Secretary: Gloria White; Press Reporter: Sarah Lea White.

Other club members are Madison Winchester, Jaclyn Glover, Rebecca Spence, Ben Parsons, Timothy White , Shane Weatherall , and Owen Marling.

The second meeting of the year was held on May 26, at Colin and Tanya Walker’s farm. The topic for this meeting was judging and giving reasons. Members were taught about conformation and basic body parts of a dairy cow, as well as the correct (and incorrect) way to give a set of reasons.

Club members gained hands-on experience in judging a class of mature dairy cows, and preparing a set of reasons for their placings, in preparation for the South Simcoe 4-H Judging Competition on June 14.

The club also participated in the South Simcoe 4-H Coaching N i g h t a t E r i c a n d M a u re e n Millar’s on June 7, in preparation fo r t he j udg ing compe t i t i on .

At right, Patrick Balkenende, Ben Parsons, Colin Walker, Timothy White, Katrina Carruthers, Kevin Harvey and Brenda White learn about judging dairy cattle.

MAKING IT LOOK EASY The golf season has just barely got underway, but several golfers at the Mad River Golf Club have shown they are already in mid-season form. As of this week, the club has already seen not one, not two but three hole-in-ones, all of them coming from women. Club Pro Debbie Clum (centre) shot hers on the 16th hole using her 7 iron, Judy Vair (left) on the 7th hole using her 9 iron, and Leslie Brightling (right) on her nemeses, the 11th hole, using her 5 iron. If this is only the beginning, Mad River could be looking at a very exciting season, from the women and, perhaps eventually, the men. Congratulations ladies.

by Fred MillsThe Creemore Braves played in a tournament in Tillsonburg last weekend, fighting through some tough games to wind up in third place.

Their first game, on Friday night against the home team, didn’t go their way with Matt Baldry giving up seven hits while striking out seven batters. The Braves mustered three hits, from Curt Barrett, Todd Gowan and Robert Kingham. Creemore lost 6-3.

Saturday brought a rematch from the previous night, with Brett Trott taking the mound for the Braves. He threw four innings, allowing five runs on nine hits. Matt Baldry came on in relief, throwing for three innings and giving up a run on four hits. Creemore had five hits with Bryan Post tallying a pair and Chris Greer, Rob Perkins and Brett Trott all reaching base safely. But the outcome was no different than the night before, with the Braves losing 6-4.

Creemore took to the field again on Sunday looking to turn things around against Whitby. Ace pitcher Brad Grieveson took the mound, giving up six hits while striking out six batters. The Braves bats came alive for 10 hits, with Chris Greer, Todd Gowan, and Glenn Patterson each having a pair. Creemore won 4-1.

That put the Braves into the consolation final against Markham. With little rest Brad Grieveson again went to the hill and led the team to

a win. Grieveson allowed six hits, while striking out another six hitters. Creemore’s bats continued to be hot with Chris Greer and Rob Perkins each claiming a pair of the team’s eight hits. Creemore won the game 6-3.

Creemore then travelled to Barrie to take on their “B” squad in a regular league game. Todd Gowan was handed the ball, and he pitched a one-hitter, sending four batters back to the bench on strikeouts. The Braves could only muster up three hits and they went to Todd Gowan, Curt Barrett and Brad Grieveson. Despite Gowan’s great pitching, the Braves left Barrie with a tough 1-0 loss.

This weekend, the Braves will play a road game in Angus on Sunday. The first pitch will go at 6 pm.

Jim Sinclair and Paul ‘Siv’ Carruthers were similar even though they were very different in size, personality, and interest. Both men lived in Duntroon and influenced local sports more than anyone I know.

Sivvy was a giant of a man; Jim was slight. They both enjoyed people, were passionate, dedicated, and loved sports. Sivvy was a hockey player and a baseball man; Jim was a cross country skier and a trailblazer.

Jim and Paul both passed on during the month of May.

Sivvy grew up on a Sunnidale Township farm and like many local boys fell in love with hockey and baseball. Big in stature, Sivvy filled the net, and opposing players found it extremely difficult to put the puck behind the agile goaltender. In his youth, he played junior and intermediate hockey in Collingwood and Stayner.

In the 1970s, Sivvy became head coach of the Junior D Stayner Siskins for a few years before jumping ship and running the head bench of the Junior C Bradford Blues, provincial finalists in 1979/80. Several Stayner players starred

mark. He served as the NDBL president and league convenor with the OBA, as well as the convenor for the Georgian Bay Mid Ontario Hockey League with the OHA and president of the Canadian National Oldtimers Baseball Federation. One of his highlights was bringing the nationals to Clearview Township in 2002.

Last year, the OHA recognized Sivvy and presented him with the volunteer of the year award.

While Siv was involved in mainstream Canadian sports, Jim Sinclair fell in love with Nordic skiing and positively changed the sport in Ontario.

Jim became involved in cross-country skiing way back in the early 1960s when he was teaching in Sault Ste. Marie. At the time, the Sault was the place for skiing in the province, where students were introduced to alpine, Nordic and ski jumping.

Jim decided to move with his wife Audrey to Duntroon, as the area offered the three skiing disciplines, to become an automotive teacher at CCI. He became a trailblazer. The highly visited Loree Forest trail on top of the escarpment above Collingwood and most of the trails in and around Collingwood were planned and worked on by Jim.

on the Blues including his brother Greg, who now lives in Creemore with his wife Bonnie.

He returned to Stayner and became the Siskins’ general manager and turned the ’Birds into a Junior C powerhouse.

Baseball was another passion for Siv. He usually played first base but developed his skills as a pitcher and seemed to always find a way to strike out batters. He was extremely influential in the local baseball scene. He took a group of Stayner youth and turned them into ball players.

Several were invited to baseball camps with the Jays and Expos. Sivvy’s Stayner teams were highly skilled and were almost unbeatable in the early 1980s, not just in the region but at a provincial level.

In the last 15 years or so, Sivvy continued to play between the pipes for the Stayner Rockers Oldtimer hockey team and pitch for the Dufferin-Simcoe Rockers Oldtimers Baseball Club. On his mantle was a collection of hardware for local, regional, provincial and national championships.

But it was his leadership that made his

He later helped establish Highlands Nordic with his oldest son Larry. Highlands is recognized today as the hub of nordic skiing in the province and has become a world class facility that has hosted several major championships, including nationals, world high school championships and the 1997 Special Olympics World Winter Games. Jim worked alongside his son organizing those events and the 1991 Winter Games and ‘74 OFFSA championships at Kolapore.

This unassuming man, who would often pull you aside to say hello and find out how you were doing, literally wrote the book on organizing cross-country ski races in the Southern Ontario Division for the provincial sports association.

If you think about it, it would be hard to imagine what this area would have been like if Jim Sinclair had not been here. The reality is that he made a tremendous impact on this area all the way from education to recreation to sport. Jim was recognized for his efforts in 2004 by being named to the Collingwood Sports Hall of Fame, builder category.

Jim and Paul will be greatly missed in this area. My sympathies to both families.
