By Trina BerloThree young ladies from Creemore are taking part in the ambassador program at the Great Northern Exhibition.
Rebecca Redpath, 17, is competing for the title of senior ambassador. Sarah Crawford, 10, and Grace Millsap, 12, are competing in the junior ambassador category.
C o n t e s t a n t s a r e j u d g e d o n interviews, a written biography, speeches and a Q-and-A.
There are four competitors in each category.
Redpath, a Grade 12 Collingwood Collegiate Institute student, won the junior title in 2011.
Fair ambassadors represent the region throughout the year, making special appearances at event and parades.
T h e w i n n e r o f t h e s e n i o r ambassador competition goes on to compete at the CNE.
The ladies will be on stage at the agricultural building Friday, opening day of the 159th annual fall fair running from Sept. 19-21 at the GNE.
The junior ambassadors present speeches at 6 p.m. and the senior ambassadors present after the opening ceremonies, which begin at about 7 p.m.

organizers will officially flip the switch on the 100-kilowatt solar
project. Solar panels were installed on the roof of the exhibition hall and the agricultural building.
Robert McArthur runs in Creemore wardBy Trina BerloThere were several last minute additions to the roster of municipal election candidates in Clearview Township.
Three candida tes who were unopposed as of presstime last week found themselves with a little competition by the filing deadline at 2 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 12.
Robert McArthur filed to run against Creemore-area Ward 5 councillor Thom Paterson.
“I was giving it a lot of thought right to the last minute. I’ve been kind of disappointed by the lack
of participation coming forth and I thought I should throw my name in so people have a choice,” said McArthur.
The 51-year-old farmer runs a mixed crop operation of crops and cattle near Cashtown Corners where he has lived his whole life.
McArthur took over the family farm from his parents.
His father Milton McArthur was councillor and reeve of the former Nottawasaga Township.
McArthur said his father’s role in politics did influence his decision to run for council.
“I’d have to say, like father, like son,” he said.
McArthur said local economic development is a key issue in his campaign.
“I have had tremendous support from the community thus far and I am looking forward to representing Creemore,” he said.
Al Bell filed to run against Nottawa-area Ward 1 councillor Doug Measures and Kevin Elwood filed to run against Dunedin-area Ward 2 ballot newcomer Donna Baylis.
There’s a four-way race in the
New Lowell-area Ward 7 with Alan Howlett, Steven Cordick and Robyn Gignac going up against incumbent Deborah Bronée.
Gignac announced Monday that she is throwing her support behind Bronée.
“It appears that she and I have a lot of the same goals for our community, with economic growth at the top of the list. We both want to see New Lowell thrive and expand and have many of the same ideas on how to make this happen,” said Gignac in a statement to the media. “It is too late to withdraw

By Trina Berlo Leisureworld Creedan Valley staff raised more than $3,000 for fellow employee Debbie Armstrong and her husband Ken Armstrong.
Ken was diagnosed with ALS in June.
“It’s an ugly disease but it’s because of things like this that we are able to get through. These people are amazing,” said Ken.
The money is being donated directly to the Angus couple. Debbie has been working as a personal support worker at Creedan Valley for 29 years.
“It’s great that the ice bucket challenge is raising funds and awareness around the world and we felt it was important to support those in our own community too. So we decided to hold this event for Debbie and Ken to help them with things like medical appointments and equipment,” said Creedan Valley director of resident programing and admissions Mary Jane Watson.
Staff collected pledges, held draws, sold ribbons and T-shirts. The right to be the one to dump the ice water on one of their fellow employee’s head went to the highest bidder.
Draw prizes and ice were donated by local businesses.
The donation includes a cheque for $1,000 from the employees’ union.
As a group, the eight participants challenged all of the other Leisureworld homes.

EDiTOR Trina Berlo
Editor:I read with disbelief the article regarding the new
security system at the public school. It seems that even educated people who run the
school board and the school have fallen prey to the fear mongering of the mass media.
There is no real level of security that can protect our children from harm and this is a false sense of security at best. Strangers are actually the minority of abusers. It is more commonplace that children are harmed by a family member or family friend. And since just about everybody in Creemore is a friend or family then they would likely gain access to the school if requested.
I believe that the children are safest inside the school locked or not. What if the children are playing in the schoolyard and a sniper sets up on the arena roof or the county garage roof or both? The children will be locked out and have no place to hide. The buzzer system could fail and nobody would let them in. It could be a bloodbath.
Also, what if one of the children brings a handgun to school in their lunchbox? If the problem is inside the school and the crazed fourth grader takes out the official door buzzer operators first then they can shoot fish in a barrel until the OPP can get the SWAT and negotiators in place.
In the end, the walk to school is probably the most dangerous part of the day in Creemore for elementary school students. This danger is not from salivating pedophiles waiting behind the shrubbery, but from real road hazards of school buses coming and going and mini-vans and SUVs dropping off the kids in the village who are too lazy to walk (or have parents that are so freaked out by all the what-ifs in life they wouldn’t think of letting their kids walk.) Canada is not the gun crazed US society that we see and hear about on the news. It is a shame to waste money on something this impractical that could otherwise be spent on education or a breakfast program.
Murray Lackie, (From an undisclosed location just in case.)
Harvesting rural pride
Between the fall fair at the GNE and the International Plowing Match there is plenty of opportunity to celebrate the agriculture industry as business, culture and career development.
The Collingwood Agricultural Society’s Garry Milne says the GNE is about youth, the future of farming.
With a focus on sustainability and local food, we can’t think of anything more vital that the future of farming.
Local school children visited the plowing match this week and some are taking part in education day at the fair today.
The GNE is more than its midway; it is an exhibition of local farming families and their skills, not to mention a chance to show their stuff in the tractor pull.
And then there’s the fresh-faced youth putting themselves out there for a chance to represent agriculture, some of whom aren’t from farming families.
Nine area youth are vying for the roles of junior and senior ambassador of the GNE, putting their best foot forward and performing under pressure at the fair’s opening ceremonies.
The Queen of the Furrow contestants were in Creemore this week visiting Miller’s Dairy, owned by John and Marie Miller, a former Queen of the Furrow herself.
The young women eagerly asked questions about the milk bottling process and fussed over the cattle.
They come from all over Ontario for a chance to take part in the contest that has been running as part of the International Plowing Match for more than 50 years.
It’s unapologetically old-fashioned but the concept has evolved. Rather than it being a beauty pageant, the Queens of the Furrow contestants are judged on poise and decorum but also how they interact with each other and intelligence.
These young people are embracing tradition in a time when it’s almost unfathomable that such innocent yet outmoded ceremonies continue.
It is genuine, part in parcel of the rural roots that are to be embraced.
Some of us were born here and the rest of us are transplants, but whether these rural ways seem perfectly normal or a source of intrigue, we’re guessing we all love it here in one way or another.
This community is safe in the hands of the youth who will be our future farmers and community leaders.
So forget the designer rubber boots and the rural chic dress and experience the real deal.
Where else will one see local children’s art, jams and jellies and oversized zucchinis filling a room for thousands to see?
Too freaked about the what-ifs

Sby Trina BerloA boy was injured during the Creemore Kids Cent Ride Sunday.
Okay, it wasn’t just a boy, it was my boy.
According to all witnesses, the crash was spectacular – a ‘Superman’ over the handlebars.
It was not supposed to be a race but to my 10-year-old son if there’s a starting line, it’s a race and everything is to be done at top speed (unless its something his parents want him to do).
There was a crash. Word quickly spread one block to
Mill Street and I just knew it would be him.
Once arriving on scene, off duty paramedic and Creemore resident Brian Macintyre, an event volunteer, was performing triage with assistance from the Clearview Fire Department and the OPP.
The injuries were assessed as one first degree banged up knee, one skinned knee and secondary scrapes on the elbows.
An ambulance was called. We waited on the side of the road for
these poor paramedics who happened to be at the wrong end of the two-way radio when the call came in.
Everyone made a big fuss over the boy’s injuries and made him feel pretty special.
With vital signs declared normal, we were released but only after signing a waiver saying that I did not require him to be transferred to hospital.
We stepped out of the ambulance and found ourselves alone on the street, just me, my son and his friend who stuck around for the entire sideshow in what I can only assume was part solidarity and part morbid curiosity.
My son limped four blocks back to our car while I walked with his bike and his cracked helmet under arm.
We all went for ice cream and less than an hour later my son was bouncing around our kitchen with his Nerf gun.
It has been my experience that in the community newspaper industry
there is an unwritten rule that to avoid shameless self-serving behavior that people only publish photos of their own children once per year.
And here I am, off with a bang. Two weeks on the job and I am
publishing a photo of my son but since he is protesting the idea as I put down these words, I will consider this a freebie.
I just want to thank Clearview Deputy Fire Chief Roree Payment
Son does duty by making the news
and his crew for their professionalism, hiding their smiles and to the OPP officer who insisted on following protocol, to Brian MacIntyre and event organizer Thom Paterson who was concerned enough to ask after the boy the next day, as did others in the community.
I knew I shouldn’t have brought my son to work that day but I did and he was a newmaker, not bad for a reporter’s son.

By Judah PageAfter a very successful season last year, the Cybergnomes Robotics Team 2013 are now looking ahead to our next season.
The Cybergnomes are a competitive team, part of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), an organization that promotes Science, Technology, Engineering and Math through the creative challenge of custom designing, building, programming and competing with a 120-pound robot on an arena sized field.
Part sports event, rock concert, strategy game, and social activity, FIRST regional competitions are a truly unique experience.
As a student you will have the opportunity to learn engineering, machining, welding, fabrication, electrical, programming, web design, graphic design, teamwork, leadership and so much more all in a fun, yet demanding hands-on atmosphere.
The team will be holding a parent/student information night for all those who wish to learn more about the team for the 2014-2015 season.
If you are in high school (ages 14-18), and you have an interest in engineering, design,

New BBBS boys program coming to CreemoreFree monthly program for youth aged 9-12
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Georgian Triangle (BBBSGT) launch Boy’s Club, a new weekly recreational group mentoring program, across the region.
With the help of a recent $22,000 grant from the Canada Post Community Foundation, BBBSGT are taking a big step in the direction of providing more regular programs, specifically for boys without one-on-one mentors across the Georgian Triangle.
The grant will fund the hiring of a new part-time Boy’s Group Program Leader and help facilitate
programs in Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, Clearview Township and Meaford beginning in November.
The 1.5-hour per week program will mainly serve nine- to 12-year-olds but this will vary based on demand across the region.
The program will run one Tuesday per month in Creemore and New Lowell.
“Our greatest challenge is recruiting new male volunteer mentors. For various reasons we have seen a decline in the number of men looking to volunteer as Big Brother mentors for Little Brothers. At the same time we get new applications for boys looking for a Big Brother every week. When our boys waiting list continued to grow we decided we needed to adapt by creating a new program. The Boys Recreational Group Mentoring Program, or the Boy’s Club, is a different way to engage the boys on our waiting list as well as boys new to BBBSGT programs that would benefit from mentoring programs. The concept is to recruit a small group of men to become mentors for this program that will lead the group as a team with the help of a staff. This volunteer opportunity where men always have the support of a couple other men is a much more accessible commitment for many men, allowing them to feel more comfortable getting involved as mentors. We will be looking to recruit new volunteers to help out every week or even just once a month. Picture a group of 3-4 men playing sports, games and doing creative projects with a group of 10-15 boys. It’s going to be great. We are extremely grateful to the Canada Post Community
Foundation, local Rotary Clubs, the Town of Collingwood and the G&M Foundation Education Endowment fund who have all contributed to this program through recent grants,” said Jarvis Strong, executive director.
This program expansion tackles two of the greatest challenges for BBBSGT.
Providing mentoring programs for boys and better serving the other communities of the Georgian Triangle region.
Visit www.bigbrothersbigsistersgeorgiantriangle.org in the coming months for more details or call 705-445-2330.
Approximately 40 new parking spaces will be added to the front parking lot at General and Marine Hospital in Collingwood as the lot is resurfaced and reconfigured.
The entrance gate to the parking lot will be moved from Moberly Street to the east side of the parking lot, off the main Hume Street entrance, once the project is complete in October.
The lot will be completed in two phases to minimize impact and disruption to visitors, with the lot remaining open throughout the construction. Alternative arrangements have been made to accommodate overflow parking if need be.
“The last full resurfacing of the front parking lot occurred in 1996, 18 years ago. Right now there are a number of potholes and cracks that are creating an unsafe environment for patients and visitors, rain pools in the summer and freezes in the winter. This is not acceptable for patients and visitors and we are working hard to address these safety concerns, in addition to providing more spaces for our increased volumes,” said Mike Lacroix, vice president and chief financial officer.
Funding for this project was previously set aside by the foundation under facility redevelopment.

By Trina Berlo Clearview Township officials are hoping to curb any concerns about the way people will vote next month.
In the 2014 municipal election, voters in Clearview and Mulmur will have a choice to vote online or using the telephone.
Voting will be facilitated by Nova Scotia-based Intelivote Systems. President and founder Dean Smith said the system is secure and easy to navigate.
Smith said the system is encrypted and secured through Bell Canada.
During the upcoming election, 97 municipalities will be voting online or by telephone, 48 of which will use the Intelivote system, including Wasaga Beach.
Smith said, although voter turnout depends greatly on the excitement of the race, election results have shown that voter participation increased 71 per cent. He noted women used the system 10 per cent more than men.
“You do get more young voters than in the paper world but you do get an increase in the older population,” said Smith. “They may go to the telephone if they don’t have a computer.”
Voters 60 and older are the most active users, with 30-40 per cent using the phone, and 60-70 per cent opting for the web.
Of voters under 60, 12-15 per cent used the phone and 85-88 per cent used
Voting system is safe and secure: officials
the web.With weather, transportation, illness
and disability being factors in getting out to polls, voting from home or a mobile device anywhere in the world makes the process convenient, said Smith.
“It’s sheer convenience, most people don’t think of it as risky,” he said.
Eligible voters will get a letter in the mail containing a web address, a toll free phone number and a pin number.
Once on the phone or website, voters follow the prompts.
People can skip certain fields if they choose or spoil the ballot.
Smith said it is common for people to start the voting process, then exit the system to research candidates before logging back in and completing the process.
Results, as required by the Municipal Elections Act, are kept for 120 days, longer if there is a contest.
Letters containing voting instructions will be mailed out on Oct. 7.
People should call the township office if they have not received their pin number by Oct. 14.
The 1996 Municipal Elections Act allowed for alternative voting methods.
Clearview voters last went to the polls in 2000.
In 2003, 2006 and 2010, the township used a mail-in ballot system.
Online and telephone voting will be open from Oct. 17-27.

Thank YouI would like to thank my loyal Mulmur constituents, many Dufferin County residents and Councillors for their support over the past eight years while I have been on Mulmur Council. It is with a heavy heart that I have made the decision not to seek re-election in the next term though will forever appreciate the opportunity to have served in that capacity. I have gained many new relationships, some very close friends and numerous interesting and learned experiences which I will benefit from as I move forward in life. In 2012 I achieved my Bachelor of Education at the university of Toronto and in 2013 a Certificate in Dispute Resolution at York university and will continue to advocate and promote a transparent and accountable system of government and advancing the rights of individuals and property owners.
