Fire destroys family home
Singhampton family
in need of community
support
by Trina Berlo
A family was left homeless after a
house fire near Singhampton Sunday.
Sarah Minduik, Tristan McGuire
and their two sons, and Sarah’s father
Paul Minduik are all staying with
relatives this week after their home
was destroyed. Firefighters were called
to the Concession 11 farm at about 3
p.m. on June 26.
The fire started on the back deck
of the house, where Tristan was
barbecuing. Sarah said he went inside
to get the food for the grill and the wind
caught the flame and it got in under the
siding. The fire spread up the wall.
“He grabbed a hose and tried to put it
out himself and he was successful for a
little bit but the fire spread up the wall
and into the attic and tore off the whole
top of the house,” said Sarah.
Fire department officials described
the fire as stubborn, fueled by high
winds and complicated by high

Postal labour
action could
begin July 2
by Trina Berlo
If a labour dispute is not resolved by
July 2, Canada Post will be in a legal
position to lock out the Canadian Union
of Postal Workers and the union will be
in a legal position to strike. Labour talks have been ongoing
between the Crown Corporation and
the Canadian Union of Postal Workers
since late 2015.
“We understand the impact a work
disruption would have on customers
and are therefore doing everything
possible to reach a negotiated
settlement quickly. While a labour
disruption remains a possibility, we are
asking customers to take precautions,”
states Canada Post. “In the event of a
labour disruption, Canada Post will
not operate. Mail and parcels will not
be delivered, and no new items will
be accepted. Any mail and parcels
within the postal system during a
work disruption will be secured and
delivered as quickly as possible once
operations resume.”
On Monday employees in the Urban
and Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers
bargaining units voted to strike but on
Tuesday the union asked Canada Post
management for a two-week extension
on the so-called cooling-off period, at
the end of which the union says Canada
Post might either lock its workers out or
try to force a walkout through “punitive
changes to their working conditions”.
“We are asking management to
give us a chance, to give the public
review a chance, to keep sitting down
with us at the bargaining table, and
give the workers a chance to get a fair
deal,” said Canadian Union of Postal
Workers’ national president Mike
Palecek.
The union says Canada Post is in
its 20th profitable year out of the past

temperatures. Crews were on scene
for eight hours and used an excavator to
get to the fire in the heavy construction
of the home that was built in the 1800s.
“The windows were open so that
really must have fueled the fire,” said
Sarah.
She said Tristan is a bit shaken from
the incident but he was not injured.
At the time of the fire, Sarah and her
sons Nathan, 8, and Seth, 12, were in
Newfoundland visiting her sister and
nephew.
Tristan had informed Sarah of the
fire and she saw some of it on the
news but she didn’t see the damage
for herself until she arrived home on
Monday.
“It was very tough,” said Sarah. “I
had a very hard time getting on the
plane because I didn’t want to see
it. We’ve raised three generations of
Minduiks in that house. This is a family
home. My nephew, my niece, myself,
my sister and my dad, we were raised
there.”
Sarah and the boys have only the
luggage they took with them and they
have no home insurance. The fire is
not suspicious and the house did have
working smoke alarms. Damage is
estimated at $300,000.
The house was a duplex, with
Sarah’s father living in the other unit.
The family was working to salvage
what they could from the house before
demolition began on Tuesday but
basically, they have lost everything.

Flames spread to the attic of a farmhouse south of Singhampton Sunday.
The family is staying with Sarah’s
uncle at this time and the plan is
to probably stay in a trailer on the
property until they can move into
permanent housing. They will need
more help later but right now they
need the basics, food and clothing, to
get them through the next little while.
Donations of grocery gift cards and
non-perishable food items are what are
needed most at this time.
The sons are students at Nottawasaga
Creemore Public School and before
school let out this week, school principal
Alison Golding was organizing
donations of clothing for the boys.
The family requires boys clothing
in sizes 16 and 10 and shoes in sizes
7 and 3.
McGuire is in need of clothing as
well, large shirts and 34x34 pants and
size 9-and-a-half shoes.
Sarah can be contacted directly at
705-607-1384. Donations of money,
gift cards, clothing and shoes can be
dropped off at The Creemore Echo
office.

exorbitant demands for cutbacks and

reasonable in light of the company’s
success.
“Mr. Chopra and his executive team
are getting their bonuses every year,”
said Palecek, referring to the Harperappointed president and CEO who has
refused to resign since the Liberals took
office. “We don’t understand why he
needs to squeeze so much out of the
people who are making the profits for
him.”
If Canada Post management refuses
to extend the cooling-off period,
Palecek says his union still aims to keep
negotiations going.
“We’re concerned that a labour
dispute will taint the outcome of the
very important review that the Liberals
are conducting,” said Palecek. “We’ll
do everything we can to avert that.”

The way we were
Postal disruption possible
With a Canada Post labour dispute coming to a
head, we don’t know how delivery of The Creemore
Echo might be affected.
There is a possibility that as of July 2, postal service
could be disrupted.
We don’t know exactly what that means for us. We
have not received any official communication from
Canada Post.
If there is a strike or a lockout, we know that the
newspaper will not be arriving by mail.
In the case of a labour disruption we will continue
to leave bundles of newspapers at our regular pickup locations around Creemore, Stayner, New Lowell
and Nottawa.
If the dispute continues we will look for a more
comprehensive alternative to distributing the paper but
the reality is that Canada Post is the only affordable
way to deliver The Creemore Echo.
If you wish to receive a digital copy of the
newspaper by e-mail for the duration of the service
disruption, please send a request to info@creemore.
com or go to www.creemore.com to sign up. The
e-edition, sent out on Thursday night, is something
we currently offer to subscribers.
The strike or lockout would have an impact on
many residents who rely on it for other forms of
correspondence. People who receive paper bills are
being advised to make alternative arrangements, either
through automatic payments or e-billing.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says it
has negotiated two agreements with Canada Post to
ensure the delivery of many government cheques and
the safety of live animals in the event of a lockout or
strike. One agreement covers Rural and Suburban
Mail Carriers, while the other covers the Urban
Operations bargaining unit.
Many of the issues raised by the union relates
to working conditions and compensation for rural
and suburban mail carriers, who are the people who
deliver our mail.
The possible work postal service disruption comes
at a time when an independent task force is conducting
a review of Canada Post to ensure it is self-sustaining
and find new profit generators for the postal service.
The real challenge for us are the unknowns and we
apologize for any disruption but this is obviously out
of our control.

ATVs should not be encouraged
on township roads: CARA
Editor:
CARA urges you to complete the township’s survey
on ATVs.
We would like to remind everyone that today,
Thursday, June 30 is the last day to respond to the
township’s proposal to survey residents about their
views on whether ATVs should be allowed on public
roads throughout the township. The survey was
designed by staff and posted on the township’s website
(clearview.ca) in response to a presentation made to
Council by the Central Ontario ATV Club.
The club views Clearview as necessary to complete
a trail system connecting Wasaga Beach to Grey
Highlands.
The survey starts off by telling you which
municipalities in Ontario allow ATVs on public roads.
Please also review the three maps that outline possible
routings for ATV use throughout the township
also posted on the township website, including the
“recommended” routes outlined on the Clearview
maps.
The issue of using ATVs on township roads was
raised in 2008 and was rejected at that time.
We are not against ATVs which can be a valuable
vehicle around the farm, in some commercial
applications and on rural properties, but we do not
believe they should be encouraged on local roads.
We believe the reasons we raised at that time are still
valid. They include noise, speed, pollution, safety,
public liability, and damage to wildlife. They detract
from the quiet we all enjoy and threaten some of
the most scenic areas of the natural environment in
Clearview. It is by no means clear to us why we would
want to give this up for the sake of ATV users from
outside Clearview.
If you are reading this and have missed the chance
to complete the survey, please contact your local
Councillor to share your views.

Horses need shelter from the heat of summer
by Wendy Eagle
So, let’s talk about summer heat
and horses. For us humans, it’s been
wicked, and it is hard to imagine, but
it is even tougher on our horses.
We can regulate ourselves but horses
must rely on us to ensure that their
environment can help them stay cool
in these sweltering temperatures, so we
need to ensure that we provide them
with a few requirements.
Naturally, horses need to be outside.
It’s what they know and in most
cases, prefer. Firstly, turnout 24/7/52
(meaning they live outdoors, year
round and are not regularly brought in
to dwell in stalls) provides them with
opportunity for movement which is
critical to their bodily health.
Secondly, (and this is where we
come into play) we need to provide
simple, basic necessities – shelter,
water and salt.
Shelters can be groves of trees as
long as they throw good shade at all
times of the day. Shelters can also
be three-sided, specially built large
enough to hold the number of horses in
the field. Such shelters need openings
facing east or south-east to provide
adequate protection from the natural
elements. An opening under the eaves
allows heat to escape and breezes to
ventilate. Other possible shelters can
be run-in barns, safe sheds (with large
doorways for safety) or windbreak
walls – the goal during the hot days
is providing shade that the horse can
utilize at will. We feel the heat, but
due to their much larger muscle mass,
horses feel that same heat a whole lot
more!
If shelter is an issue, and your horse
is accustomed to being stalled, keeping
them in a cool barn during the heat of
the day and leaving them out early
evening until mid-morning may be a
more do-able approach to helping your
horse tolerate the heat.
Water is a given, but scrubbing the
automatic waterer and ensuring its
operating correctly and not gummed
up with horse mouth goo is a daily
5

chore. Troughs need scrubbing and
re-filling every 2-3 days with topping
up of fresh, clean, cool (not cold)
water daily. Keeping those troughs and
watering systems clean is preventative
to the development of serious illnesses.
Consider that if you don’t want to
drink it, your horse probably won’t
either – the difference is, your horse
will because they need it and have no
other option.
Lastly, having access to free choice
salt and mineral blocks is also a
necessity in the heat. Replacing
electrolytes and salt lost through
sweating will keep your horse healthy
and comfortable.
One additional aspect to think about
in the heat is exercise. Horses that
live outdoors 24/7 in large pastures,
with other horses for companionship,
move most of the time. They play,
run, chase and graze. Notable is that
given the opportunity, horses will
graze approximately 17 hours per day,
continually moving as they choose the
most succulent blades.
Local Church
24/7 turnout is the equivalent to one
hour of walking, planned exercise per
day. Such exercise does not replace
turnout needs, but know that missing
a day of training for horses living
outdoors is not the end of the world.
As long as they can still move and
be horses with other horses, they
will appreciate a day off. If you must
exercise or ride, look to do so in the
early morning and evening when
temperatures are cooler. Shorten such

time and above all, ensure your horse
is cooled out after a ride.
After you’ve ensured your horse is
taken care off and keeping cool, it’s
the perfect time to kick off the boots
and keep cool yourself, however you
choose!

Clearview council approves 3-way stop in Nottawa
by Trina Berlo
Clearview Township council has
approved the installation of two stop
signs in Nottawa to create a three-way
stop at the intersection of Queen Street
East and Townley Street.
The gallery at town hall in Stayner
was packed with children and their
parents June 27, the night an on-desk
recommendation to install the stop
signs from Deputy Mayor Barry
Burton was considered by council.
Burton said the request was tabled on
behalf of parents who voiced concerns
about speeding in their neighbourhood
at a June 22 town hall meeting.
“It has been observed for some time
that vehicles travelling both north and
south on Townley Street are exceeding
speed limits. This is a route where many
children are walking to school. Lack of
sidewalks and wide shoulders is putting
our youth at risk,” reported Burton.
In a letter dated April 27, a group of
parents wrote to the mayor and council
saying there are eight families with 20
children, many of whom are under the
age of seven, living in the immediate
area. They also presented to council a
petition with just over 200 signatures.
“Because of the traffic speed
and at times complete disregard for
children riding bikes and crossing the
street, there is a significant risk to our
children,” states the letter. “We know
that you have been responsive to
township resident issues in the past and
hope that you will make the safety of
our children a priority and support our
request for a three-way stop.”
On Monday Collingwood resident
and former councillor Norman
Sandberg spoke on behalf of the
residents of the neighbourhood, where
his daughter, son-in-law and two
grandchildren reside. He thanked
Burton and Councillor Doug Measures
for working with the residents and

to add stop signs at Queen Street East and Townley Street to slow traffic.
bringing the recommendation to
council.
He acknowledged that from
a technical perspective, there isn’t
adequate traffic counts to justify a
three-way stop.
“I certainly would not want my
grandchildren to be statistics to justify
the warrants and I certainly wouldn’t
want any of the neighbourhood children
to be statistics either,” said Sandberg.
Burton said normally council when
considering such a request would ask
for a report from staff but he didn’t feel
a report was necessary at this stage.
“When I was running, my campaign
was to be the voice of the people and it
was very loud and clear at that Nottawa
meeting what the people wanted. They
were adamant about the stop signs for
safety reasons and I totally support that
we go ahead and proceed with these
stop signs,” said Burton.
Measures echoed support for the
recommendation saying it has been
raised in the past and residents continue
to be concerned.
“It is noted that the speeding
and traffic problems continue to be
something that all of us as residents
have to deal with on every road in
our township and this is a really good
example of how some citizens have
got together, formed a petition, have
raised a great deal of awareness and to

Investing in new and better ways for all
Ontarians to get the care they need means:
• 700 new doctors and specialists
• 35 hospitals currently being
renewed, modernized or expanded
• $250 million invested in home and
community care
• $345 million invested to improve wait
times and access to care
These investments ensure a strong health
care system for both today and tomorrow.

that road by putting up those awesome
‘slow down’ signs. They have led a
really good charge on this and now it’s
up to us to set up three-way stops that
are being requested,” said Measures
adding it doesn’t cost very much.
At the June 13 meeting, a group of
Creemore citizens presented a petition
and asked for stop signs in Creemore.
In both cases, CAO Steve Sage said 80
to 85 per cent are travelling within the
speed limit.
In that case, council did request staff
to report back with traffic data, which is
expected to come to council on July 18.
That same day, council will consider a
bylaw to establish the new three-way
stop in Nottawa.

The Collingwood Nurses Alumnae funded and presented a brand new
baby bassinet for newborn’s arriving at the Collingwood G&M Hospital.
Their donation was presented by incoming chair Linda McKean at the
group’s annual meeting last month and was a stark contrast to the baby
bassinet it is replacing. Since 1986, the Collingwood Nurses Alumnae has
contributed just over $80,000 in equipment and donations to the hospital.
As retired nurses, the group appreciates being able to make investments
in equipment and programs that will help to heal patients. You’ll get a Warm Welcome & a Cold Beer!

Clearview players sign
baseball contracts
by Alex Hargrave
A couple of local 18-year-old ball
players have signed significant baseball
contracts, which will undoubtedly
enhance their lives.
Jake Wilson, of New Lowell, was
recently drafted by the Boston Red Sox
in the 39th round.
The centre fielder is not certain
whether he will play in the Red Sox
system or attend university on a
scholarship. He signed an NCAA
athletic scholarship with Bowling
Green State University in Ohio. The
Great Lakes Canadian outfielder was
noticed by a scout. Earlier, he played
ball with the New Lowell Knights,
Barrie Red Sox and Oakville Royals.
Stayner Collegiate Institute student
Tanner Zeggil also signed a contract
to play college ball with McCook
Community College in Nebraska.
Zeggil is currently playing for the
Ontario Blue Jays Under 18 Baseball
Club in the Canadian Premier Baseball
League.
The team competes in tournaments
across Canada and the United States
This weekend he plays in Troy,

New York, which is a qualifier for the

plays for the Creemore Barons.
He has only played three games for
them. His statistics are impressive with
a .778 batting average in nine at bats.
He has seven hits and scored five times.
In the North Dufferin Baseball
League four teams are vying for the
pennant.
Ivy Leafs narrowly lead, 13-3-2,
over the defending league champion
New Lowell Knights, 13-2-1.
The two teams played in the final
against one and another last year.
Midland Indians are the surprise for
this year’s season.
The Indians have been a mediocre
team in the past but have earned
an impressive 13-4 record thus far.
Clearview Orioles are also still in the
hunt with 11-6-0 numbers.
Creemore has two clubs competing
in the NDBL, which happens to be the
oldest hardball league in this province.
The Barons are playing .500 ball

Over the past school year, the

to promote mental health awareness
in schools. Schools were invited to
organize mental health events for a
chance to win $1,000 towards a guest

shared in hard copy or by using the
Twitter hashtag #SCDSBLetsTalk.
“ We t h a n k a l l s c h o o l s t h a t

Nicholas Gulley, Stayner Collegiate
Institute student and Student Trustee.
“The many entries received showed
us all the great things our schools are
doing to support environments that
foster positive mental health.”
Schools hosted mental health walks,
colouring sessions, presentations
from mental health organizations and
other activities that contributed to
the promotion of mental health. At
the final Student Senate meeting on

Fathers, David William – The

Church are sad to announce the
passing of David William Fathers
on Sunday, June 19 at 4:45 p.m. He
went home to be with the Lord Jesus
Christ in a presence of Jeff & Emily
Currie, daughter and son-in-law, and
son Patrick. We miss him greatly
and even though cancer took his life
ultimately we believe the scriptures
which say in Hebrews chapter 9 verse
27: “And as it is appointed unto man
once to die but after this the judgment
and also in Psalms chapter 116 verse
15 “Precious in the sight of the Lord is
the death of his saints.” There will be a
Memorial Service on Sunday, July 17
at 3 p.m. at Creemore Baptist Church,
12 Wellington Street West, Creemore.
