by Trina Berlo Creemore is saying goodbye to the Ruppels, who in their 22 years in the community have certainly left their mark.
Paul is known locally as the go-to guy for many local organizations. Jean’s involvement is more peripheral but as she says, “You are still pulled in, especially when you have a husband like Paul.”
By ‘like Paul’, she means a volunteer proficient at working within a social network to make things happen and get things done. Wherever he finds himself with likeminded movers and shakers, plans are hatched and Paul does not shy away from doing a lot of legwork for the projects he cares about.
Paul has dedicated himself to St. John’s United Church, the Creemore Curling Club, Purple Hills Arts and Heritage Society, the Mad and Noisy Gallery, the Collingwood Probus Club, Special Olympics, Clearview
by Trina BerloThe Creemore Choral Festival brings together the youthful genius of Mozart and the timeless wisdom of Haydn.
The music of the two composers will be performed by the 35-voice Creemore Choral Festival Singers this Saturday, June 4, directed by Thomas Bell.
The choir, ranging in age from 17 to 80-something, includes a number of soloists, along with a professional orchestra, The Talisker Players.
“We’re going to do [Mozart's] very first symphony which he wrote when he was eight years old and is just an outstanding piece of music, incredible for one who is so young,” said Bell. “It really shows his genius at such a young age and it is very rarely performed.”
They will follow it with Mozart’s first piece of choral music, Vesperae Solenne de Confessore, and the first half of the show finishes with his last piece of choral music, Ave Verum.
Bell said the first choral piece is a short one, written by Mozart while he was in London. The latter, has a delightful sadness, said Bell, and was written shortly before he died at the age of 34.
The second half of the program is dedicated to Haydn’s Nelson Mass, named for Lord Nelson and written at a time when Napoleon was going to invade Austria.
“The trumpets and the drums in the choral music, in the mass, reflect the impending invasion and it’s a very exciting, dramatic piece,” said Bell of the music written toward the end of Haydn’s life.
In its second year, the Creemore Choral Festival was conceived by area part time resident Alex Miller, who is originally from Creemore and was inspired to bring choral music to his hometown.
Miller is a member of the St. Paul’s
Anglican Church choir, which has put on annual performances in Creemore. Many of its members, joined by other singers, will form the Creemore Choral Festival Singers during a June 4 performance at St. John’s United Church.
“Last year’s concert was a phenomenal
success, it really was. It was everything we wished it to be,” said Bell, who is also the musical director of the St. Paul’s choir. He is also a composer, teacher and artistic director and founder of the Aslan Boys Choir.
Bell said there are plans to expand the festival, adding community singing events “using music to bring young and old together.”
“I would love for the festival to bring the generations together,” he said.
The Creemore Choral Festival Singers’ performance, titled Youthful Genius, Timeless Wisdom, is at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $25 for general admission, $35 for reserved seating and $20 for seniors and students. To purchase tickets online, visit creemorechoralfestival.ca. Tickets will also be available at Curiosity House Books and at the door.
There will be a free open rehearsal at 3 p.m.

Township’s accessibility committee and most notably, the building of the Station on the Green.
Paul led the fundraising effort for the construction, which came out of a brainstorming session with friends about a millennial project.
He says 495 people contributed to the building of the Station on the Green, making it a true community effort.
“It’s certainly nothing I did myself, I had a lot of support,” he said.
He says there were many people to share the load.
“You couldn’t do all these things without people to help,” says Paul during a sit-down in the family room at the Ruppels’ home on Purple Hill Lane.
There is a sold sign out front and a closing day of July 9 is fast approaching. Their pictures are coming down off the wall and boxes are piling up in the corners.

The Ruppels are moving to a retirement community in Waterloo. Paul’s family has roots in the area.
They first came to Creemore after a real estate agent recommended they see the house on their way back home to Montreal after a reconnaissance mission to see of they wanted to live in the area.
Jean said they liked the area and when they found out their children lived not-too-far away, that was icing on the cake.
Since then, the Ruppels have made many friends in the area.
“You can leave a house but it is hard to leave the people,” said Jean.
A farewell party is being organized in honour of the couple. Everyone is invited to the send-off from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 12, at Station on the Green.
Laughing, Jean said people will think Paul is never home but he can also be found in the garden or working on a building project. In addition to doing so much for Clearview Township, Paul has been a wonderful husband and father to their three children, she said.
She also said there have been many times when people have asked Paul to get involved with a project but he has passed.
“If he doesn’t want to do it, he won’t get involved,” said Jean.
But when he does want to get involved, he is a dedicated and efficient volunteer and his absence in this community will surely leave people wondering who to go to with the next big idea.
For his dedication, Paul was given the Queen’s Jubilee Medal in 2012 and was chosen as an Olympic torchbearer in Huntsville in 2012. He was The Creemore Echo’s 2008 volunteer of the year and was one of On the Bay’s grassroots heroes in 2015.
The Collingwood General and Marine Hospital (CGMH) began its redevelopment journey just over one-and-a-half years ago with an initial focus on the Master Program – the future programs and services the hospital will offer, while more recently work has unfolded on the Master Plan – the physical space needed, which outlines where and how services will be located.
Over the past couple of months the Site Evaluation Committee has reviewed, in accordance with the Development Option Evaluation Criteria, a selection of identified blocks and sites including the current site, the current site with adjacent properties and generic greenfield sites. At this time, three sites (based on their technical evaluation against the criteria) will be presented to the community on the following dates for further community consultation.
“This is a very exciting time for the hospital as we move along our redevelopment journey. I look forward to the community input and encourage the public to attend one of the sessions, so their voice can be heard and utilized
to inform our decision making,” said David Finbow, CGMH Board of Trustees member and Chair of the Facilities Planning Committee.
All communities will be asked for their input on the three sites and the correlated input from all public meetings will go to the Facilities Committee for consideration, as they work to identify a preferred site to bring forward to the June 23 Board of Trustees meeting. A session will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 8 at the Stayner Arena.
While CGMH will identify a preferred redevelopment solution, it is important to remember that it is ultimately up to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MoHLTC) to make a final determination, as to whether the redevelopment of CGMH will proceed and what form, including location, it will take.
The hospital is currently working to make a submission to the ministry in September.
Visit www.cgmh.on.ca, for more information.
Hospital seeks input on future location
by Trina Berlo Clearview council has approved $34,000 for renovations to the Clearview Youth Centre, to meet accessibility standards.
The quote from R. Talbot Carpentry and Renovations is the lowest of three received by the municipality during a request-for-proposal process and was recommended by the Clearview Youth Services Committee, which is managing the creation of the new youth centre in Stayner.
In the most recent budget, council set aside $100,000 for the creation of a space to offer youth services. The lease, over the next three years, will cost about $78,000, leaving just over $22,000 for other expenses, including renovations.
Councillor Shawn Davidson pointed out that the township has a three-year lease and is planning to make more than $30,000 in lease hold improvements.
“Basically the renovations we are doing are strictly to meet accessibility standards,” said Deputy Mayor Barry Burton, who championed the youth centre project and chairs the committee.
Committee member Robert Walker said work to widen doorways, add an accessible washroom, lower the kitchen counter and add an automatic front door opener has driven up the cost.
“What did the landlord put into this?” asked Mayor Chris Vanderkruys.
“He isn’t putting anything into it,” said Burton, “because when we negotiated the deal to rent we pounded him for a good deal on the rent and we were going to deal with the renos that had to be done.”
On Monday, May 30, Deborah Bronée was the only councillor to vote against the recommendation to proceed with the renovations.
“If we are going to approve this… I hope that we have more than a three-year plan for this and we are looking at some way to stabilize this that’s not going to cost the taxpayer on an ongoing basis,” said Bronée. “And the groups that are going to be in there, I hope you are working toward some way in order to make this continue longer than three years.”
In response to a question from Councillor Doug Measures about future funding, Burton said joint fundraisers are part of a plan to fund the facility and the facility could possibly be rented out for events.
“The whole purpose of doing this was to provide a location for these organizations, like The Door and RAY’s Place, so that they can put their funding toward programming rather
than trying to pay for a facility that they can’t afford,” said Burton.
Referring to the original costing in a March report from Burton, laying out the net cost of $77,889 over three years, Vanderkruys said, “Hopefully you do have a plan in place for continuous money because we only allotted $100,000 of course so that’s something you better think of sooner than later.”
Walker said they are working with agencies and have applied for grants.
“We also have an opportunity for – I’m not going to get too far ahead here – but there are a couple other agencies that might be creating some new youth groups in Clearview with an opportunity that hopefully they might be able to utilize a night in that facility a couple times a month for their programs and hopefully would contribute to some of the finances,” he said. “There are a couple of things in the wings. I’m not willing to talk about it at this point because it is kind of a dream but it is a good dream right now and there are those avenues that we are hoping will widen to help pay some of the costs.”
Earlier this year, council agreed to lease two units at 7458 Highway 26 totalling 2,500 square feet at $2,000 per month plus hydro and heating, estimated at $100 per month.

EDITORIAL ThE WAy WE WEREVery grateful to all subscribers
The Creemore Echo is halfway through its annual subscription drive.
In addition to our annual subscription for the low price of $49 per year, which includes an early bird electronic version every Thursday evening, we are also looking for boosters and champions.
A booster, with a contribution of $75 per year, is a keen promoter of community and the newspaper, someone who wants to give a little extra boost of encouragement.
A champion, with a contribution of $100 or more, is someone who champions our mission to share the community’s stories, celebrate its accomplishments and promote local business.
We want to give a special thanks to those who continue to support their independent newspaper and a big shout out to our first-time subscribers.

Creemore is very fortunate to have a newspaper of its own and we hope it provides a valued service to people of all ages and demographics.
We will be at the Creemore Farmers’ Market June 4 and 11, accepting subscriptions and selling Creemore Echo T-shirts. As the campaign progresses, champions, boosters and new subscribers will see their names in the newspaper as a big thanks for the support.
We strive to reinforce a refrain heard so often in the community: Everyone reads The Echo.
Editor:Much is being said about wind turbines being the
killer of birds, and although wind turbines are listed in research, they are below the top culprits. I have done some checking and I relate previously researched facts for Canada, your readers may be interested.
Estimated average annual bird population: 10 billion (not including birds for food industry). Deaths: 270 million (not stated if natural death included).
Breakdown of individual estimates of bird deaths:Surprisingly the biggest bird killer is the cat. • 25 million due to power lines, collision and
electrocution. Other lines – pole to pole (flight
obstruction).• 24 million due to buildings and glass windows,
electricity pylons, wind towers, and other tall structures.
• 14 million due to vehicle collision.• 5 million due to game bird hunting.• 2.7 million due to Agricultural pesticides.• 2.2 million due to grass mowing (young birds
nesting in long grass).• 1.4 million due to commercial forestry (nesting
and habitation).Ray Jackson,Mulmur.
CFB Borden is commemorating its 100th anniversary and the 72nd anniversary of D Day on June 11-12 with an extra-special Canadian Armed Forces Day and Air Show at Base Borden.
Gates and exhibits are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., showtime starts at 1 p.m. and this event takes place rain or shine.
The Clearview Public Library is very excited to promote our local aviation history by taking part as we will be running our “flight school” featuring our fleet of mini moths from the Edenvale Classic Aircraft Foundation.
We will also be looking for stories from the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, the Canadian Forces Skyhawk
Parachute team and other guest pilots who wish to share their experiences to inspire the next generation to “let their imagination take flight”!
A preview of this action will take place on Thursday night (June 9) at 5 p.m. at Music, Market & Park It, during the opening session of the Stayner Farmers’ Market.
I, along with a special guest or two, will be on the tarmac with one of our “yellow birds” to introduce you to the romance and excitement of aviation in a bygone era.

by Trina BerloCheryl Robertson has been busy designing quilts, cutting fabric and packaging kits, preparing for her debut as a Quilt Canada vendor.
The owner of Creemore House of Stitches quilting and yarn shop will be a vendor at the international quilt show in Toronto from June 15-18, where she hopes to promote not only her own business but all of Creemore.
At the event, hosted by the Canadian Quilters’ Association, there will be 400 quilts on display, including those in the National Juried Show, and more than 70 vendors.
Robertson has taken on the ambitious project of designing a lot of her own patterns that will be completely unique to her booth. With her helpers, she has put together more than 200 kits that contain a pattern and everything needed to complete the project. Many
of the designs have been created with the show’s theme in mind: A Taste of Summer.
“A lot of the kits have a summer theme,” said Robertson. “The patterns are easy enough so anyone can do them.”
Robertson said vendors are required to showcase the latest fabrics in their products but what they chose to sell is up to them.
In addition to a full-size quilt and a lap quilt, she has designed four children’s quilts, one of which is an I Spy Snakes and Ladders game, complete with the dice. She has also designed picnic blankets, a wall hanging, table runner and children’s placemats in both Thomas the Tank Engine and princess themes. She is also selling fabric, notions and jelly roll fabric strips packaged in cupcake wrappers.
It is a big undertaking, said Robertson,
seeing as she has no staff and is also preparing for two self-guided tours on which her shop is a stop. Creemore House of Stitches is also a part of the Lakeside Yarn Crawl and Row by Row. For both, Robertson has also designed projects. She gives the patterns away for free and she sells the kits with all the materials to those interested and the tours do bring new visitors to the village.
Robertson has been sewing for 50 years, and has made many garments, for herself and her grandchildren. She has sewn for weddings and has done many alterations over the years but while working in the corporate world she didn’t always have time for sewing. She made her first quilt in 1994. It was a memory quilt with a giant dahlia pattern, a gift for her mother after the death of her father.
After cutting out all the pieces,
Robertson said she sent them by mail to family members who signed their names and sent them back, making a family tree of sorts.
Robertson then put quilting aside for a while until taking it up again eight years ago. In December, 2010, Robertson opened the quilting shop at the south end of Mill Street.
“I had always wanted to open my own shop so I took the opportunity when it became available,” she said. “I started out with very little inventory and built it up over the years.”
Three years ago, when she outgrew the shop and moved to the current location at 151-C Mill Street.
Robertson says, in preparing for the quilt show, she has had a lot of support from her fellow shopkeepers in the village. She has borrowed certain things to complete her booth and will be

Well, spring and summer came with a bang this past weekend. You really didn’t know if you should go swimming or plant your garden! Mother Nature sure plays the cards in different directions just two weeks ago we were dodging snowflakes.
Please remember that the young people are out and about now after school and into the evenings biking, walking, running with their buddies and perhaps not remembering their safety rules so it is up to the adults to be a bit more careful than usual. Don’t forget to drop by a baseball or soccer game and show the youth that you show your support around good healthy exercise in their community.
The New Lowell United Church is celebrating a wonderful milestone this Sunday. It is their anniversary and also the grand opening of their accessibility addition that the congregation has worked so hard on for the last few years. They invite you to attend this event. The ribbon ceremony will take place inside at 10:30 a.m. and it will be followed by the worship ceremony, which will include the dedication of the lovely stained glass windows from Avening United Church. The Charge Choir will supply the music for this service. Please be advised to use the alternative parking for this event. Parking is available at the Recreation Park and the Library. You are not encouraged to park on the road. The
church parking lot is going to be used for the guests and people with accessibility difficulties.
Are you feeling the urge to hit the greens and have a day of golfing? Well, join in the fun with the Annual Golf Tournament held each year as a fundraiser for the New
Lowell United church. This year the date is June 11 and the venue is Bear Creek Golf Course. It is a wonderful fun day with lots of prizes, golf cart for your team and a delicious roast beef dinner. Call Tom Macham at 705-424-0579 ASAP so he can reserve you a place on a team.
The Cemetery of the New Lowell United Church will hold its biennial memorial service at 2 p.m. on June 12. Please bring a lawn chair and if it is inclement weather we will do the service in the church. This is a special time when we take a moment to reflect on our loved ones and to thank the volunteers who take such good care of the grounds of the cemetery. The surroundings are always in pristine shape. A pat on the back to Lorne and Marilyn McLellan, Gerry McDonald, Harold McNiven and Tom Macham for their dedication and to Stephanie Kell as the secretary/treasurer of the cemetery, who can be contacted at 705-424-0902.
By the time you read this the Grade 3s and 6s will have big smiles on their faces as they have finished their EQAO tests and can get back to thinking about
summer holidays. Last week there was a wonderful turn out for the “welcome to kindergarten” night. Almost 20 children attended the evening with their parents and enjoyed meeting the teachers and principal and they all saw the different kinds of things that they will experience in kindergarten in the fall… right down to a special bus ride around town. For some of the children it was the first ride on a school bus and they had big smiles and some had frowns that turned to smiles as they bounced up and down. Welcome to New Lowell Central Public School!
Don’t forget seniors, you have lots to do around town on Wednesdays there is the euchre at the Legion starting at 1 p.m. and the first Tuesday of each month (June 7) is the social time at the New Lowell Church starting at 1 p.m.
The Sparks (the junior Guides) have ended their successful year under the leadership of Charity Dobbs. They have earned lots of badges and had great fun. Unfortunately, Charity will not be coming back as a leader so if you know of anyone who would like to take on the leadership of Sparks, please call Tammy Samuels (Guides and Brownie leader) at 705-796-0767. It is important that we keep the three aspects of Guiding going in New Lowell Area. A heartfelt thanks to Charity for her wonderful years of giving to the Sparks and her leadership we wish you well but you will be missed. The Brownies and Guides are starting to wind up their year also with special events and their year-end camps.
They will have many adventures to tell their family and friends.
The congregations of St. John’s United in Creemore and New Lowell United in New Lowell will say farewell to Rev. Leslie Searles on June 26. She was a supply minister for one year while the charge worked on looking for a new minister. We say a very fond farewell as Rev. Leslie has brought us much laughter, love and praise during this year. Thank you for sharing your faith with us!
That’s the news for in and around the village if you have news that you want to share please e-mail me at [email protected] or call 705-424-6497.

by Evan Atkinson, age 10On May 18, we had our second 4H meeting at the Bell farm.
After everyone got there Erin read the minutes, we did the 4-H pledge and talked about all the meat cuts of a lamb. We told the Meatherals (our guest speakers) what we had learned that we should be looking for in a meat lamb. The Meatherals taught us about raising and butchering lambs. They provided an educat ional demonstration and showed us all the cuts of the meat, then we enjoyed some snacks and games. Our next meeting will include a guest veterinary and is at the Atkinson Farm.

A couple had a daughter as well as a 16-year-old son. The son had a condition called cardiomyopathy, which caused him some trouble with walking along with other restrictions. Once in a while he would fall. They went to a crowded restaurant for dinner and all went well until they went to leave. The son fell to the floor. What happened next is heartwarming because their daughter’s boyfriend suddenly lay down beside their son and asked, “how is it going down here,” to relieve some of the embarrassment of the situation. It is good to know that the boyfriend has treated their son like a little brother since they first met.
Remember: Kindness makes you the most beautiful person in the world. No matter what you look like.

W e l l , m e m b e r s of the spirit squad figured they could help, so students Justin Rowbotham, Anson Dupuis, Landon Grant and Ella Dinsmor started a fundraiser.
The fundraiser took place between May 13 and May 27, and raised over $170, with the majority of that being raised in the first few days.
On Friday, May 20, there was a special spirit day called neon bright day.
The spirit day itself was not out of the ordinary, students wore neon clothes and their school houses got house points, but rather the day had an assembly along with it.

This assembly started off with the song Thunderstruck by the band AC/DC (which is sort of like the schools theme song, being that most of the school sports teams are called Thunder) playing to signal the students to go to the gymnasium. Then, they had
more dancing to some popular songs, followed by the kids wearing neon being counted, house points dished out, and students proceeding back to class.
Usually, there is not this much singing and dancing involved in the assemblies, so it was a bit out of the ordinary. The group behind this display of events is called the energizers committee, and they are a new branch
of the spirit squad. Personally, I must say that this new committee is doing some really cool things, though I can’t count myself among their ranks. Speaking of which, their numbers are a bit low right now, so any NCPS students on the spirit squad, feel free to join.
On Thursday, May 26, the school had a full day of exercise. This is
called track and field day, and it is to select students proficient at specific athletic events in elementary schools to compete at one big competition consisting of 12 schools.
This competition is commonly referred to as area. Kevin Weir, the school's Grade 8 teacher, will take these students to area on Tuesday, June 15.
