Local musician Sara Rose releases new single to honour a lost friend Written By MIKE BAKER
It has been a difficult few months for local musician Sara Rose who, in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, has had to come to terms with a devastating loss. Now, she’s aiming to project her own personal heartache into a message of hope through the release of a new single designed to remind people they are not alone during these unprecedented times. On May 22, Sara received a phone call that would change her life. One of her best friends, Ashton Johnston-Kimberley, had passed away. “I found out the day after she had passed. When I got the call, I didn’t quite know how to react. I wasn’t expecting it, I don’t think anyone was,” Sara told the Citizen. “It’s complete disbelief when you get a call like that. There was a mix of denial, but also instant numbness. It is definitely hard.”
Not really knowing what to do or where to turn, Sara poured herself into her music. She wrote ‘Ashton’s Song’, initially for herself, to help her deal with the heartbreak of losing such a close friend. After sharing the song with Ashton’s family, she was encouraged to release it to a wider audience. Sara spent months refining the lyrics and perfecting the rhythm and flow of the song. She worked with Dennis Hahn, of The Campfire Poets, to produce the song and has put together a music video to commemorate the piece. Ashton’s Song will be released on all musical formats today (Oct. 8). With music playing such a major role in Sara’s life, it was perhaps inevitable that she would use it as an outlet for her grief. Now, she’s hoping to turn ‘Ashton’s Song’ into a beacon of hope for anyone going through a difficult time with loss. “Music is always the thing I turn to, both
for good and bad things. This song just kind of happened. It wasn’t ever going to be anything I would share outside of my circle, but when I saw the purpose it was giving me, and Ashton’s family, and realized the potential it had to help other people, that’s when I thought it could fulfill a greater purpose beyond the immense purpose it was giving to our small circle of family and friends.” She added, “The main thing for me, obviously, is to honour Ashton and her family. But if this helps even one person beyond that, then it’s forever worthy of sharing.” One person it has certainly helped is Pat Kimberley, Ashton’s grandmother. While she admitted to going through something of an emotional rollercoaster each and every time she hears the song, she said Sara had done a fantastic job putting together such a beautiful tribute.

Orangeville Chrysler seeing ‘tremendous growth’ following recent expansion Written By MIKE BAKER
If you build it, they will come – that is the mantra that has served Danny Brackett, President of Brackett Auto Group, well in recent years, particularly when it comes to the substantial renovation and expansion project at Orangeville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat. Since purchasing the local dealership back in 2015, Mr. Brackett has overseen a drastic transformation of the site. A brand new 16-car showroom was unveiled in 2018, while, just last month, the facility celebrated the opening of a state-of-the-art drive-thru service centre, and boutique area to showcase up to six unique vehicles at a time. Now boasting a footprint of around 33,000 sq. ft., encompassing its showroom, three-lane, six-bay drive-thru service centre and 18-bay garage, Orangeville Chrysler is now the largest car dealership in the community. Sitting down with the Citizen this week, Mr. Brackett reflects on his five-year “journey” at the helm of Orangeville Chrysler, touching on the many “exciting things” this expansion brings to the dealership. “When we took over Orangeville Chrysler, we knew the dealership needed to be rebuilt,” Mr. Brackett said. “Right away, we decided we wanted to work with all local people to complete this project. Mark Hicks, a well-known Orangeville-based architect completed all the design work and rendering for the project, while Robert Preston Construction, another local firm, took care of the build. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience throughout – we made for a tremendous team.” He added, “I’ve always had a vision for This ad space is provided by Tim Hortons Orangeville and is intended for use by non-profit organizations

what I thought this place could be, and, sitting here today, I think I can safely say it’s mission accomplished, 100 percent. These guys did a great job bringing my vision to life. This new facility will enable us to expand our business and really showcase some of our most popular brands.” With that in mind, the crown jewel of the facility is, without question, its extensive showroom and boutique area. With up to 21 vehicles packed inside at any one time, featuring such brands as Jeep and Ram, the new showroom has allowed the staff at Orangeville Chrysler to really take business to the next level over the past 18 months. Inside that main hub, the dealership

boasts 14 sales offices, and is “completely transparent” in Mr. Brackett’s words. By that he means the design team charged with bringing his vision to life went to painstaking lengths to ensure most of the facility is fitted with glass panels, rather than drywall, creating a more open and positive environment for both staff and customers. That was a key feature of the rebuild, Danny explains. “We really wanted to make this showroom standout, and the best way to do that, in my opinion, is to bring as much natural light as possible into the building,” he said. “Once you step inside Orangeville Chrysler, you have full transparency everywhere you go. We have a visually pleasing showroom and service area now that people are excited to check out. That was what I wanted to do when I launched this rebuild – make this place as inviting as possible, and ensure people are comfortable, and excited, the minute they step through our doors.” While the improved aesthetics have certainly contributed to that improved level of customer satisfaction, another key component is the way staff restructured the showroom – setting up permanent, dedicated spaces for core brands, such as Jeep and Ram. Mr. Brackett spoke extensively of those two brands in particular, especially Jeep, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. “Jeep, in my opinion, is the best brand in the automotive industry. And what I mean by that, is that it’s been around for so long, has got so much depth, and is incredibly popular worldwide. The retention rate for customers is unbelievable – once someone buys a Jeep product, they more than likely aren’t going anywhere else again. Jeep is almost like a lifestyle to some people,” Mr. Brackett said. The most impressive thing about Jeep, in Mr. Brackett’s mind, is the extensive lineup of vehicles in its repertoire. Whether it’s a Renegade, Wrangler, Compass, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee or the recently reimagined Grand Wagoneer, there is “something in every segment” for local residents to choose from, Danny explains. Ram has been a major player in the trucking industry for a long time now, but has really come to the fore over the past couple of years. The Ram 1500 was named 2019 Truck of the Year by automotive magazine MotorTrend, with the Ram Heavy Duty taking home the title in 2020. With a surging popularity over the past couple of years, Mr. Brackett estimates Ram truck sales at Orangeville Chrysler have more than tripled since 2015. One of the major reasons for that, he says, is because the local dealership has started to focus on the commercial truck industry – not just in terms of selling the vehicles, but by servicing them too. Inside that massive 18-bay garage is a heavy-duty truck hoist, which could lift something as heavy as a firetruck up into the air, allowing mechanics to see underneath the vehicle and carry
out repairs. The facility also offers detailing, with dedicated bays at the rear of the building large enough to accommodate commercial trucks. It’s through the “proper promotion” of these popular brands that Orangeville Chrysler has grown into the hugely successful dealership it is today. “I think it’s pretty safe to say that I have never seen a dealership, in my 33 years in the industry, grow at the pace this place has grown,” Mr. Brackett said. “I think it has grown at this pace for a bunch of reasons, but one of the main ones is that these brands, like Chrysler, like Jeep, like Ram, like Dodge and like Fiat didn’t have the attention they deserved previously. Our community wanted, and needed a strong Jeep and Ram retailer in town. It sort of like, once we built it, the people came out.” He added, “That’s why the showroom expansion was such a huge thing. It allowed us to display a full buffet of vehicles in that space, and really showcase our Ram and Jeep products. They’re fabulous vehicles.” In the end, the numbers speak for themselves. Whether its car sales, service appointments or detailing arrangements, business at Orangeville Chrysler has increased substantially since 2015. “In terms of percentages, our business has almost quadrupled over the past five years,” Mr. Brackett said. The main facet of Mr. Brackett’s business is to provide the best service and vehicles to its customers. While Orangeville Chrysler has always been a major player in the community when it comes to selling cars, the new drive-thru service station puts the local dealership on the map when it comes to servicing, detailing and repairing your vehicle too. “The thought process behind opening this new service centre is to make things as convenient as possible for our customers. Now, whenever someone drives onto the lot, they can come right inside, outside of the elements, and immediately they’re in a nice environment where they can meet with a service adviser and discuss their options,” Mr. Brackett said. “Customers will now have the ability to do a full walkthrough with an adviser and have a proper consultation to discuss the full scope of work that needs doing. This just adds to the full range of services we already offered at Orangeville Chrysler.” The expansion has added considerable employment to the local community. Since 2015, Orangeville Chrysler has more than doubled its workforce, with 55 employees as of press time. The dealership is actively searching for a new technician, but are also interested in discussing other potential career paths with individuals interested in working in the automotive industry. Anyone with an interest in pursuing a career with Orangeville Chrysler is encouraged to send an email to careers@orangevillechrysler.ca. In the meantime, while the major work at the local dealership is on the home stretch, there are a few small jobs Mr. Brackett wants to wrap-up before he considers the project finished. There is still some panelling that needs to be installed on the outside wall of the building, while Mr. Brackett hopes to pave a large section of the gravel lot on the east side of his building before winter sets in. Looking back on an incredible five years of growth, Mr. Brackett says none of it would have been possible without the support of both his team members and the community. “When you look back at what we were five years ago, and compare it to today, it’s incredible. We’ve come a long way, and we have to thank our team, who have worked incredibly hard to push our brands in this area, and we have to thank the local community for supporting Orangeville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat and really believing in us,” Mr. Brackett said. “This project has been a win, win, win for all involved.”

ALMOST THERE: The Bravery Park project is nearing completion. Pictured above, mother-daughter duo Shannon McGrady and Valerie McGrady (front) have worked tirelessly over the past decade to bring the initiative to life in Orangeville.

Orangeville’s Bravery Park slated for summer 2021 completion Written By MIKE BAKER
Orangeville’s long awaited Bravery Park project is edging ever closer to completion. The Citizen reported last November that the initiative, located on the grounds of the Alder Recreation Centre, would be complete this summer. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the mother-daughter duo behind the project, Shannon and Valerie McGrady, have had issues putting the finishing touches together. Gathering at the site last Thursday (Oct. 1), the McGradys said they are now actively planning for a grand opening of Bravery Park in summer 2021. The Bravery Park project was first launched by Shannon and Valerie back in 2010 as they sought to provide local residents with a place of reflection to honour the bravery, achievements and sacrifices of members of the Canadian military. The park, which will boast four key features upon completion, sits on parkland to the east of the Alder Recreation Centre. While the notion of Bravery Park today represents a number of positive ideologies, according to Shannon, it was one born out of tragedy. On May 25, 2007, Orangeville native Matthew McCully – brother to Shannon and son to Valerie, was killed by a roadside bomb near a small village outside of Kandahar City, Afghanistan. In what was his second tour of the war-torn Middle Eastern nation, Cpl. McCully was a member of the Operation Mentoring and Liaison Team that trained Afghani soldiers before his untimely death. The first phase of development at Bravery Park saw a playground, funded by the Amaranth Lion’s Club to the tune of $34,000, and a medicine wheel, funded and constructed by the Dufferin County Cultural Resource Circle, completed last summer. Work on the second and final phase, which boasts a memorial stone and seven-foot bronze monument, depicting a Canadian soldier kneeling beside two Afghani children, is currently underway. In total, the project, upon completion, will have cost approximately $180,000. Shannon informed the Citizen that she is currently $14,000 shy of her fundraising goal. The McGradys met with Orangeville Legion President Barry Kimber and Rory MacKinnon, owner of the McDonald’s on Riddell Rd. and a long-time supporter of the Bravery Park initiative, to provide an update on the site’s construction. “After many years of work, dogged determination and community support, Bravery Park construction is now underway. The Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award in the military has been created through intricate brick laying. The statue, in storage currently awaiting its debut, will sit
at the centre of the cross atop a large stone, with gardens all around.” She added, “Our memorial stone will be delivered this week. The stone is significant to the overall meaning of the park as it draws visitors’ attention to the sacrifice our soldiers make to promote peace here at home and worldwide. The experience of a soldier is multifaceted, and so too is their suffering. They make many sacrifices. By walking through the park and learning about our military we hope to foster a culture of support so that when our soldiers return home and see parks like Bravery Park, they will know their sacrifices were not in vain.” The Orangeville Legion has donated approximately $3,000 towards construction of Bravery Park, while Mr. MacKinnon has given approximately $10,000. The pair spoke about the importance of the initiative with the Citizen last week. “From our point of view, it’s all about remembrance, about recognizing service and about recognizing our veterans. To see a project like this finally coming together, it’s nothing but good for the community,” said Mr. Kimber. Mr. MacKinnon noted, “We connected with Shannon early on, and when they told us about the Bravery Park project we knew it was a great fit for the type of projects we like to support. This is focused on kids, it’s focused on remembrance and it’s focused on respect for our Canadian forces veterans and people serving today. This is a tremendous space now, and we are so proud to be a part of it.” Obviously, Bravery Park holds tremendous personal meaning for both Shannon and Valerie. The pair took a moment to address just what it means to them to know the project is on the cusp of completion, following a decade-long fundraising campaign. “Although it took years to get this far, the entire journey has been worth it, as every presentation, every update to council, and every post on social media has generated awareness of our military and all they do around the world. That’s been our goal all along,” Shannon said. “I will be absolutely thrilled to see Bravery Park finally come to fruition.” Valerie added, “It feels wonderful to be on the final stretch. There are two things that have kept me going throughout all of us. First, when I told soldiers and veterans about this park recognizing their bravery, many teared up knowing they were being honoured in this way. They do not see themselves as heroes, but simply doing the job they were trained to do. Secondly, to have the Town of Orangeville stand behind us all the way and give support (has) helped make our ideas even better. This journey has certainly had its ups and downs, but now it’s all worth it.”

Local Dairy Queen hoping to raise $65k through Miracle Treat Week Written By BRIAN LOCKHART
This is one time of year that being caught in the middle of a ‘Blizzard’ is a good thing. Dairy Queen is once again holding its annual event to raise funds for the Children’s Miracle Network. The Children’s Miracle Network is involved with local children’s hospitals across North America. In our region, that hospital is the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Orangeville Dairy Queen is working hard to once again, be the top fundraiser in Eastern Canada through sales of Blizzards at their store. Usually the Blizzard sale event is held for one day in August. However, this year, the decision was made turn it into a week long event to avoid having too many people in the store at one time. Orangeville Dairy Queen usually sells around 5,000 Blizzards during the event but this year they are aiming for 7,000. The community and local businesses are, typically, very supportive of the event. “We have pre-sold 1,000 Blizzards already,” said Orangeville Dairy Queen owner, John Lockyer. “We have 18 companies that have already pre-ordered. For the past few years we have raised the most money of any Dairy
Queen in Eastern Canada.” The Orangeville Dairy Queen donates 100 per cent of the funds raised through Blizzard sales to the Children’s Miracle Network. In the past they have raise around $60,000 through each event. This year their goal is $65,000. Over the years Orangeville Dairy Queen has raised almost $700,000, money that has directly supported SickKids hospital. “We think that supporting SickKids is a worthy effort,” Mr. Lockyer said. “Everyone knows someone who has needed their help.” On average, 35,000 children enter a Children’s Miracle Network Member hospital each week. The program supports the children and their families receiving treatment at local children’s hospitals. The program began in 1984 and Dairy Queen has become a top contributor to the Children’s Miracle Network with over $135 million raised over the years. Stopping in at the Orangeville Dairy Queen for a Blizzard this week not only gets you a frosty treat, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that every cent you spend on a Blizzard will be going to SickKids.

Local musician Sara Rose releases new single ‘Ashton’s Song’ to honour a lost friend
“There are tears when we hear it, there’s lots of emotions. It doesn’t get easier for us to listen to it at all, but it is a beautiful tribute,” Pat said. “After the first time I heard it, I suggested to Sara that she release it. I thought if it’s helped us, this is the sort of thing that could help somebody else going through a similar thing. There are certain parts of the song that will definitely help people.” When asked where this latest single stacks up against the rest of her body of work, Sara said ‘Ashton’s Song’ will forever sit in a category of its own. “I don’t think this work can be compared to anything else I’ve done. It’s totally different,” Sara said. “Everything I’ve written is always true, it’s always real, but this goes beyond that. Every song I’ve ever written, when I’m finished I’ve been able to look back and say ‘okay, that’s finished’, and I can remove myself from it a little bit. With this one, I feel like I’m always going to be in it. The feelings I have and the emotions I poured into the song are always going to be there.” With that said, it came as no surprise when
Sara stated, point blank, this was the most difficult project she has ever worked on. Grief works in strange ways, and while she says she has worked through all the stages in recent months, working on different aspects of the song, and even talking about it in the lead up to the release has, on several occasions, seen the pain and emotion come flooding back. To get through it, Sara has tapped into her own personal memory bank, remembering all the good times she and Ashton have had over their near decade-long friendship. “We met in Grade 9 at Orangeville District Secondary School, and had some really fun times. Ashton and I had one of those relationships that just clicked. She was my rock for many years, and I think it went both ways. We went through a lot together and helped each other through some really difficult times,” Sara said. She added, “Thinking about those good times helps, but there are still moments where it’s really tough. When my phone SUBMITTED PHOTO rings, I still look to see if it’s Ashton calling REMEMBERING A FRIEND: Local musician Sara Rose (right) has written a heartfelt tribute me.

Theatre Orangeville set to present brand new season online Written By CONSTANCE SCRAFIELD
“Let me tell you, last night brought such joy to my heart,” David Nairn remarked to the Citizen. “The theatre was full of colour, vitality, enchantment – love – when we had real people in the theatre doing what they do best.” That marvel was staged by nine members of Theatre Orangeville’s crew, including, David Nairn and the four star musicians, central to the show. “So, the way the stuff works,” Mr. Nairn began to clarify: “We brought Nicolas [Mustapha] and the other three musicians, comprising their band ToneFusion. They did a 50 minute concert and we videotaped it for Oct. 16; we recorded it for the link.” In a COVID-19 free world, that would have been this season’s opening night. “People support Theatre Orangeville, and emerging young artists, many of them from this area,” he added. “We’re super busy; you wouldn’t believe the work load, because we’re creating the Theatre Orangeville Online series of entertainment and engagements. This is a huge learning curve for us because we’re not film makers. We’ve engaged a local artist, a videographer, Sara May. She’s a local musician and videographer. “Nicolas’ ToneFusion: a more talented group of musicians I haven’t seen for a while... they raised the roof.” Back to basics, “Nothing will ever replace live – online is short term,” while admitting that all these lessons may well have applications in the future. “As is often the case, we are inventing as we go,” he continued. “We’re acting as front runners. Only a handful of theatres are following this trail. “This can be for all ages,” he expanded. “We’re looking to schools to present online [theatrical] things for students at school; so, they feel they can participate in all this albeit in different locations.” David Nairn told the Citizen, “We’re now putting together a Halloween show, calling it Phantoms of the Opera House. Our favourite writers; Mag Ruffman is in, a little bit of our who’s who – Dan (Needles), others that want to scare the pants off our patrons. This is for late October. The dates and details are still being worked out.” Mr. Nairn wanted the format to be clear: “It’s really important for people to understand: this is not just a ticket; you are purchasing your link to the show. When you buy the link you have two weeks to watch it.
PHOTO COURTESY OF THEATRE ORANGEVILLE
AN ONLINE PRODUCTION: Pictured above, the four members of ToneFusion, a local band who recently performed a show at Theatre Orangeville. The gig was recorded and will be aired by the Theatre on Oct. 16.
Once it goes live, when I say, “Thursday, Oct. 16, at 7 p.m.,” but they can watch it any time for two weeks and then the link disappears.” Going on to enlarge, “All these events we’re creating will never go on social media, never shared, copied, etc. The same as a live show, in that once it’s done, it’s done.” Said Mr. Nairn for emphasis, “In that sense, it’s special.” Still to come is Rage against Violence, a monologue performed by 12 actors in a “reading,” in November, with proceeds going to Family TransitionPlace. There will be an online reading of A Christmas Carol, in December. And a World Premier of an exciting new show – Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree, by Leisa Way and the Wayward Wind Band. “The word now to is ‘pivot to creating new arrangements to produce these shows. What we know, at the end of it last night, there’s nothing to compare to live. Our core values and beliefs haven’t changed and our creating ethos has not changed; how we’re delivering it has changed. “But we will be back in the theatre, doing live performances. I sound like Dame Vera Lynn. “We have to keep the theatre viable financially. Most important that it survives, spiritually and what it means to the theatre arts and community.” Meanwhile, “You know what – it’s thrill-

ing, exhilarating. It’s because of the federal government support. I don’t see any other way, just to be able to keep our way, to keep our audience engaged, that support, which has been extended now until the summer of 2021.” Said Nicolas Mustapha, separately and a few moments later, of ToneFusion: “I came up with the name; I love the idea of two tones fusion. It really relates to who I am, not only my music but my identity is fusion: my mother is Venezuelan. My dad is from Trinidad and Tobago, but they met here in Canada.” “My band is also of race fusion,” Nicolas told us. “As a band we really merge all styles together; play to each other’s strengths and physicality. It’s a lot of fun. We even recorded a Christmas album early this weekend.” Being home schooled has given Nicolas his work ethic. “Now looking the way I work and the drive that I have is all about being home schooled and the efforts my mom put into our education,” Nicolas said. “I’m in first year at Humber doing all the work online – taking Batchelor of Music, performance, specializing in composition.

to make the show happen at Theatre Orangeville.” Making our call a conference, the co-founder of the band, Matteo Romaniello on drums and percussion joined us, by saying, “The band’s been together around a year. We were just guys looking to play after we met at a jam night. Nicolas was in, and we have Matthew Leombruni on Bass, and I’m there, but we were missing a sax. So, we asked Chris [Christopher Stephens] to join us. His saxophone and flute have the same fingering, thats’s unique to his instruments.” David Nairn has high praise for the arrangement of Over the Rainbow in the upcoming show. “I arranged it,” said Nicolas. “The conflict of sounds between major and minor. It’s a different arrangement that nobody’s ever heard before. That can be a very fine line, making people feel good, having an emotion or a thought.” Matteo offered, “I wrote [a new song] Please. I wrote it –I had everything in my head; I wrote out the music a few hours before I got to rehearsal. No one had heard the song but me. I felt something unreal – one of your original songs is being heard, ‘specially me, a drummer. I kinda wanted to break those barriers. The guys [suggested] their own arrangements and it became amazing. “When ...everyone believes in what we’re playing, it’s so raw. There are endless possibilities in jazz; there’s always the next level. We’re so instinctive with each other.” When Chris first played with them, “I remember the first time: do you know this -yeah – a different key – yeah - and then we heard it.” Nicolas said of Chris, “He’s got perfect pitch; he’s talented and really hard working. We kinda share that work ethic.” Matthew’s ambition: “I would say when we started and it’s only a year ago, just a year and we see how close we’re connecting together to think. We got opportunities to play – then we were shut down. I think we’ll be okay.” “A lot of times, I’ll be the one doing bookings,” Nicolas commented. “My big goal is trans province tours when we’ll be able to do festivals, national tours; Europe and playing two countries, as a musician and an artist.” To other artists, from Nicolas, “I would say it’s scary at first to think about putting yourself out there as an artist but I would also say that beginning to spread your true self and giving people the chance to welcome your ideas – giving people a cathartic moment -start expressing yourself and you’ll surprised at how people will appreciate your endeavours.” Matteo expressed his thoughts: “I believe everything if you find something you want to do, you’re fine. I don’t think it’s ever too late to express what you love; instead of finding a way to get better than someone else, try to get better than yourself and be humble while you’re doing it. I don’t there’s a limit to your passion.” For all the details about the upcoming concert at Theatre Orangeville, go to www. theatreorangeville.ca. You can call as well: 519-941-3423.

Day of Action for missing, murdered Indigenous women Written By PAULA BROWN LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER
From the Orangeville courthouse to Town Hall, they marched in the rain carrying a red sign that reads “no more stolen sisters” – calling for change. “There are stolen sisters across the country, and we need to make sure that they’re not forgotten,” said Debbie Sipkema, organizer of the local march and co-founder of Dufferin County Culture Resource Circle (DCCRC). The small group of nine consisting of local councillors and community members gathered for the march on Sunday (Oct. 4) as part of the national day of action for missing and murdered indigenous women and girls. “It’s a very important issue that’s been brought to light here, missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, it’s something that we all are concerned about,” said Mayor Sandy Brown, who took part in the march. “I know that because the light’s been shone on it now that people are much more aware of these issues, and wecertainly need to stop that from happening.” The day honours the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. “A lot of the people that have gone missing, were not even regarded as being something to worry about,” said Sipkema. “By having the people show up here, we’re showing a whole different side of Orangeville and the growing understanding of the importance of
the Indigenous community to the area.” She added, “I can’t do too much outside of where I live, but I can make the changes here and, if you see, we have some council members who have come out so already we have changes that are slowly happening.” A national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls took more than three years to conduct and was presented to the federal government in June of 2019. The inquiry found that Indigenous women and girls are 12 times more likely to be murdered or missing than other women in Canada. The report also found that Indigenous women were 16 times more likely to be murdered or missing than white women. The final report had 231 calls for justice to end the genocide against Indigenous women and girls that the report says are “not simply moral principles” but “legal imperatives”. “These Calls for Justice, as their name implies, demand action that reflects, respects, and actively works to create relationships where Indigenous women, girls, and LGBTQ people are recognized as rights bearers and have those right upheld – working to address where justice, seen in the larger context of dispossession and marginalization, has failed,” reads the report. Over a year since the final report was released and Sipkema notes the need to keep pushing for change. “We still need to make sure that we keep it going so that we can pressure the government to follow the recommendations, the

actions that were given to them,” said Sipkema. Marching in solidarity Sipkema said they are sending a message. “The message we’re sending is we want no
more stolen sisters, we want no more Indigenous women going missing or being murdered and we want Indigenous women and girls to be as much of a priority as everybody else is.”
Popular Dufferin Farm Tour goes virtual with collection of video tours Written By PAULA BROWN LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER
Do you want to learn about milking goats, cows and sheep, biodynamic farming, pea picking, and hydroponic tomato growing? Dufferin Farm Tours is providing a new way for local residents to experience the ins and outs of what farming in Dufferin County looks like with its recently launched virtual video tour. “They can actually learn about how their food is grown and where it comes from, they can also see how hard the farmers work to produce this food to bring to their tables,” said Marci Lipman, Dufferin Farm Tours committee member and producer of the video. “You say farm to table, but the farm tour really educates people about how their food is grown and connects them.” Continuing she said, “It’s really an eye
opener to a lot of people about how their food is grown.” Dufferin Farm Tours started hosting tours of farms in 2000, and continue to do so for one fall Saturday each year. Started by a group of farmers, Lipman said they wanted to put people in touch with farmers and learn where their food comes from. Cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s event would have been a milestone 20th anniversary. Instead of cancelling, the organization chose to create a video of the farms across Dufferin County, acquiring local videographer James O’Connor for the project. A videographer and creative director for The Art of Storytelling, O’Connor said the magnitude of the event in 2019, with 10,000 attendees, got him interested in the project. “I felt the content around it, what it meant doing, which was going to the farms filming
everything and interview everyone. Bringing the tour experience to the audience was a huge opportunity,” said O’Connor. A mix of close action shots and conversational interviews, O’Connor says the tour is now a 20 minute short film and “is very much a documentary” of local farms and farmers. “You get really close, you hear it, you almost feel it,” said O’Connor. Adding he said, “I hope people will take away from this [video], connect where your food comes from.” Besley Country Market in Shelburne is one of the local farms that is featured in the virtual tour video, highlighting their hydroponic grown tomatoes and seasonal crops. Evan Besley, is the fourth generation to operate the farm that started in 1939 as a dairy operation. This is the third time that Besley Country Market has been a part of Dufferin Farm Tours.
“It’s a fairly large undertaking to have people onto our farm, or onto a farm the traditional way they used to do it, so this way was a little more efficient for ourselves yet still providing a good insight of how our farm operates on a day-to-day basis,” said Besley. In the video Besley highlights the farms hydroponic greenhouse, where they have almost 2,000 tomato plants with three varieties; cherry, low acid, and yellow. “In Dufferin County we have such a diverse product line as far as produce and products available to our community, which isn’t always highlighted or available for people to know or even find,” said Besley. “The farm tour does a fantastic job of bridging that gap and educating people of exactly where their food comes from and how it’s grown.” A full video of the farm tours can be watched on the Dufferin Farm Tours website as well as their Facebook page.

New Island Lake natural playground opens, will be a hit with local youth Written By BRIAN LOCKHART
The new natural playground at the Island Lake Conservation Area offers all sorts of ways for local kids to enjoy the great outdoors. The playground was officially opened on Tuesday (Oct. 6), after two years of planning, design, and the physical challenge of shaping the earth and bringing in large stone blocks to form both the amphitheatre and a climbing wall. With 1.1 acres of nature-inspired play area, which incorporates natural elements like plants, water, logs, boulders and terrain, it features a play structure to provide different sensory experiences and types of play opportunities. Members of the board of directors of Credit Valley Conservation, Friends of Island Lake, Orangeville Lions Club, Rotary Club of Orangeville, and Dods & McNair Funeral Home. Funding for the park was provided by Friends of Island Lake, the Lions Club, Rotary Club, Dods & McNair, the Jackman Foundation, and Dufferin County. “We’re beyond excited to officially open the natural playground,” said Terry LeRoux,
New Home
senior manager, property, assets, recreation and conservation areas at CVC. “Time in nature is more important now than ever with all the stresses of the pandemic. This playground is an opportunity for kids to engage in unstructured, physically distanced play that encourages discovery and new experiences. We want to inspire nature appreciation for the next generation of park visitors.” Structures in the park include a 15 metre long climbing wall and two sideways climbing trees. There in an obstacle course and outdoor musical instruments. The playground also features Indigenous design elements developed in consultation with the Credit River Metis Council. During the winter the 2.5 trail around the playground will be groomed and flooded for skating and skiing. The CVC started building the natural playground in August 2019. The total cost of the project was $220,000. The Island Lake Conservation Area is already a popular place for people to connect with the outdoors. This new natural playground will connect people to nature and provide recreational experiences and health benefits to park visitors.

OPP officially takes over policing services in Orangeville Written By MIKE BAKER
The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officially took over policing services in Orangeville last Thursday (Oct. 1), marking the occasion with a private ceremony at the local police station, located on C-Line. Local dignitaries including Mayor Sandy Brown, Coun. Todd Taylor and Coun. Debbie Sherwood were joined by members of the Orangeville Police Services Board, Town staff and OPP top brass at the ceremony, officially welcoming the provincial force to the community. “The Town of Orangeville played hard to get, but you finally get to take her home from the dance,” said Mayor Brown, directed towards OPP officials. “This courtship started in earnest during the lead up to the 2014 municipal election. Now, here we are six years later and looking forward to this new partnership with anticipation and complete confidence in the decision (Orangeville council made in December).” At that tumultuous council meeting late last year, the majority of Orangeville Council, in a six to one vote, decided to disband the Orangeville Police Service (OPS) in favour of adopting a policing model run by the OPP. It has been estimated the Town will save as much as $58 million by 2036 by transitioning to the provincial force. While there may well be savings in the long-term, the Town is projecting a considerable loss in the first year of its contract with the OPP. The bulk of that can be attributed to the approximately $7.5 million in one-time transitional costs, which will cover renovations to the existing police sta-

tion on C-Line, severance to OPS staff not transitioning to the OPP, and the purchase of new equipment and vehicles. The bulk of those costs will be covered by municipal reserves. Orangeville CAO Ed Brennan has predicted that any money taken out of reserves will be replenished over a five-year period. A consultant hired by the Town to take a deep dive into the financials of both OPS and OPP predicted the municipality would, by 2024, save an average of $4.66 million annually by transitioning to the provincial force.
It has now been confirmed that, of the 42 full-time police officers previously employed by OPS, the OPP has hired 28 of them to similar full-time positions. Five OPS officers who applied for positions with the OPP were not hired, while nine outgoing members of OPS decided against applying for a job with the provincial force. It has not been confirmed at this time how many of the 28 civilian members of OPS have been retained by the OPP, although it has previously been stated there are 14 civilian positions available in Orangeville.
With OPS Chief Wayne Kalinski officially retiring following 41 years of policing service, nine of them spent in Orangeville, the new force charged with keeping the community safe will be operating under new leadership. Nicol Randall, detachment commander of Dufferin OPP, will assume the role on an interim basis, until such a time as the Town and OPP can name a permanent successor. Coun. Taylor, who also serves as chair of the Orangeville Police Services Board, took a moment last week to recognize the hard work and dedication of all OPS staff throughout this tough transition. “Chief Kalinski and his team have made a positive impact on Orangeville. I’m thankful for their community activism and contributions to the safety of our town. They will not be forgotten,” Coun. Taylor said. “There is no doubt that the policing process was divisive. A majority decision was made to make a significant change. As such, I ask that our citizens work to make our new OPP service successful. Support them. Embrace them. Welcome them. I fully intend to do the same.” Thomas Carrique, Commissioner of the OPP, made the trip to Orangeville last week to mark the transition ceremony. After being welcomed by both Mayor Brown and Coun. Taylor, Mr. Carrique took a moment to address the OPP’s newest community. “We consider it an honour and a privilege that you have selected us as your police service, to continue a strong tradition of community-minded policing that has been done so well by OPS under the leadership of Wayne Kalinski,” Mr. Carrique said. “We look forward to partnering with you and look forward to earning your trust and confidence. It’s so important to have the support of the communities of which we are trusted to support and protect. Policing is about people. Policing is about partnerships.” Continued on Page A14

New Soldiers’ Aid Commission to provide support for recent vets Written By BROCK WEIR
Modernizing Ontario’s Soldiers’ Aid Commission, established at the height of the First World War, will help ensure veterans of modern conflicts and their families, will be able to get the help they need, according to Todd Smith, the Province’s Minister of Children, Community and Social Services. Smith announced the Government’s intention to overhaul the Commission at the Aurora Legion on Friday afternoon to mark Military Family Appreciation Day. The Soldiers’ Aid Commission was established in 1915 to support veterans coming home from the First World War. The Commission was subsequently expanded to support individuals who served in the Second World War and Korean Wars, but recent statistics have shown that of the 230,000 veterans now living in Ontario, approximately 93 per cent served after Korea. Today, the Soldiers’ Aid Commission supports veterans who are unable to pay for health-related items like wheelchairs, glasses, hearing aids, and even clothing and counselling. The Commission also helps families of veterans with costs and repairs related to
making accessibility improvements around the home. Should the Government’s new legislation be passed, more than $1.5 million will be available to help veterans of conflicts including and beyond the Second World War and Korea. “Our Canadian Armed Forces are known for their teamwork and dedication, skills that are desired in all types of organizations and businesses,” said Smith, who was joined on the steps of the Legion by area MPPs Christine Elliott and Michael Parsa, and members of both the Soldiers’ Aid Commission and the Aurora-based Ontario Command of the Royal Canadian Legion. “Currently, the Ontario Soldiers’ Aid Commission is the only Provincial agency that delivers supports directly to veterans and their families. We often say it, but it bears repeating, that we can never repay the thousands of service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice in order to protect our freedoms, be it in the First and Second World War, along with the Korean War. We must make sure we honour and protect them. “We must modernize [the Commission]. We must look to the new generation of men and women as we plan for the next 105 years of the Soldiers’ Aid Commission.”

Since 1992, the Orangeville Food Bank (OFB), has supported the nutritional needs of those in the greater Orangeville community. We are currently looking for interested community members to join the volunteer Board of Directors. Annually, the OFB distributes approximately 250,000 pounds of food to an average of 700 individuals each month. Over the past decade we have seen a 1,000% increase in the amount of food we distribute. Volunteers are the backbone of the OFB, including our dedicated volunteer Board of Directors. Together with the Executive Director, the Board guides the strategic direction of the OFB and provides leadership and expertise in areas such as finance, risk management, governance and community awareness. We are looking for civic minded individuals who have an interest in furthering the goals of the OFB and supporting its mandate of providing food for those dealing with food insecurity in our community. If you have an interest in learning more about the OFB and the role of a board member, please visit us at https://orangevillefoodbank.org/board-of-directors. If you think that you could positively contribute to the OFB by joining our board, please send your resume to Heather Hayes at Heather@orangevillefoodbank.org
To underscore his point, Smith paid tribute to the 40,000 Canadian men and women who served in Afghanistan until 2014, along with a number of peacekeeping missions in Europe and Africa. “Since its inception, the hard-working and dedicated men of the Commission have done their part in making sure that eligible service members receive the supports that they require, be it housing expenses, health costs, personal care, assistive devices and prosthetics,” he continued. “For the last several years, our data has shown that the majority of these supports went to hearing aids, dentures, wheelchairs and housing accessibility items. However, it is a sad reality that with each passing year the number of living veterans who served in those 20th century wars is diminishing and that means the resources of the commission go unused while younger veterans are left without help from the Soldiers’ Aid Commission.” Ontarians, he added, have “Always stepped up” to serve their country with the “same duty, passion and commitment” as the generations of veterans before them. It is now “imperative” that “we show them the same respect and support.”
“We know the post-service adjustment can be very difficult for our veterans when they return home. We must not only honour their brave sacrifices; we must also be there for them when they return home. Many vets arrive back in their communities needing more supports. We know the unnerving statistics of veteran unemployment, homelessness, PTSD and heartbreakingly the suicide epidemic. We can’t allow our veterans to come home and not be able to afford the necessities they require to re-enter civilian life and that is why the Soldiers Aid Commission is so important and why our government is committed to providing them the supports that they need.” Colin Rowe, Chair of the Soldiers’ Aid Commission, was present for the announcement and called Friday “a great day” for the organization. “The needs that existed back in 1915 still exist today and we’re glad that after years of lobbying by all our commissioners…we have a guarantee that the needs will be met for all our veterans wherever they have served, whenever they have served, in all the years to come. We want to thank the Province and the Minister for having made this bold move.”

OPP takes over policing in Orangeville
With all 28 new members of the OPP, transitioning from OPS, partaking in a four-week training course in Orillia, the OPP has confirmed that OPP officers from Dufferin and other nearby detachments would provide coverage of calls for service for Orangeville throughout October. Renovations to the Orangeville police station are ongoing. Andrea McKinney, the Town’s General Manager of Corporate Services, said construction is moving ahead “as planned”. It was estimated back in 2019 that renovations of the facility would set the Town back approximately $1.2 million. While OPP reported they enjoyed a “productive” first weekend in Orangeville, charging two individuals with impaired driving and a third with eight counts of prohibited driving, former Orangeville Mayor Jeremy Williams expressed his belief that the provincial force was off to a “rocky start” in town followed a botched RIDE check carried out on B-Line. “Disheartened at what I saw today. OPP officers conducted a RIDE check at the top of a hill, where anyone intoxicated could have easily seen them blocks away and turned off to avoid being stopped,” Mayor
Williams wrote. “Not one officer was wearing a mask. How would you feel having a stranger lean toward your open car window with no mask, especially by someone who is in constant close contact with hundreds of people.” To make matters worse, Mr. Williams claimed he had an immuno-compromised individual in his passenger seat. Following up on Mr. Williams’ concern, the official social media account for the OPP says they have forwarded all concerns to Ms. Randall. In the response, it is implied that all OPP officers should, when possible, be wearing a face covering when engaging with members of the public. “Our officers have been trained to manage COVID-19 safety precautions, including the wearing of personal protective equipment and maintaining physical distancing where possible, while balancing the need to ascertain the identity of a driver or properly assess sobriety of drivers at RIDE checks,” the reply states. “Each circumstance is different and officers are required to rely on their training, experience and proper use of police discretion when responding to a police matter.”

SBEC: Help for small businesses in uncertain times
While COVID-19 has been extremely challenging for businesses, many are weathering the storm better than others by adopting digital technologies and using e-commerce platforms to grow, reach new customers, and disaster-proof themselves. The Digital Main Street program (DMS) is delivered by the Ontario BIA Association (OBIAA) and funded by FedDev Ontario and the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. In partnership with the Orangeville & Area Small Business Enterprise Centre (SBEC) and the BIAs of Orangeville, Shelburne and Grand Valley, DMS has helped dozens of main street small businesses across Duf-
ferin County. These entrepreneurs have been better able to cope during the COVID19 crisis because of their digital preparedness. OBIAA’s recently released report, Building Resilience for Small Business, (www.obiaa.com) shows a direct correlation between investment in digital capabilities and the ongoing health and prosperity of main streets. “By investing in Digital Main Street, we have strengthened our main street businesses and the BIAs that support them,” said Kay Matthews, Executive Director of the Ontario BIA Association. “Our BIAs are in the best position to understand the negative and positive impacts to our main street businesses, communicate on their behalf and be their ‘on the ground’ support as we move into our economic recovery.” DMS has supported businesses in Dufferin County with funding, training, and hands-on support for website development, social media, e-commerce, online advertising, and digital marketing. Last fall, the Digital Transformation Grant program enabled

twenty-five local businesses to invest in digital tools and platforms to help attract new customers, streamline internal processes, and increase revenues. New DMS funding has allowed the SBEC to hire a trained specialist to work with business owners in the downtowns of the three communities and to extend the service to some commercial zones not in BIA districts. The DMS Co-ordinator serves as a free resource, helping owners build an online presence by assessing the business’s current online presence, providing recommendations on how to enhance digital capabilities, and assisting interested and eligible businesses in applying for a one-time digital grant of up to $2,500. The grant application period is open until November 30. In addition, participating businesses can take advantage of training modules on everything from building a website to digital advertising. A feature that has been added to the Digital Main Street initiative and that can be of benefit to enterprises without a physical location is the ShopHERE program.

Outlaws keep the sport alive through flag football
Eight teams play the fall season By BRIAN LOCKHART
The Orangeville Outlaws were disappointed after having their 2020 summer season cancelled, however the players still wanted to play the sport – even if it meant switching gears on the field. The entire summer football season was relegated to a blank page in the record books after it was deemed impossible to run a schedule and maintain the restrictions currently in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Club executive decided to run a program late in the season that would at least give players a chance to get out on the gridiron and hone their skills. They ran a late summer training camp directed by Toronto Argonauts linebacker, Nick Shortill. Players were able to still practice social distancing on the field while getting in some much needed exercise and skills training. With the cancellation of school sports, the Outlaws executive decided to run a fall program of flag football. The response from players was overwhelming as they all were eager to get out and play some football. “We have four teams of eight in the junior division and four teams of eight in the senior division,” explained club executive member Sue Ellies. “We came up with this idea very late. We started our training with Nick Shortill, our Argo, and let the kids on the field so they could run around. We decided to do flag football at the beginning of September. We thought, why don’t we run a small flag season. We thought we’d maybe have three teams of five players on each team – well then it exploded. Everybody wanted to play. We have 32 kids on the junior teams and 32 kids on the senior teams. The juniors are age from seven up to 13, then 14

It takes more that some rain, a cold wind, and a wet field to stop the Orangeville Outlaws from playing their game. The Outlaws fall football house league is now underway. The Bandits and Marauders of the junior division put out a good effort on the field at Westside Secondary School on Sunday, October 4. to 18 for the older group. There’s no contact obviously because it’s flag football. We even have a bunch of girls playing in each of the divisions so it’s pretty exciting.” The Club has happy to find several female players signed up for the fun. Since football is traditionally an all-weather sport, the games went
Orangeville Minor Hockey ready to start With three ice pads now available in Orangeville, Flyers minor hockey is getting ready to get back out on the ice. The ice is back in at both arenas at Alder Street as well as one arena at Tony Rose. House league hockey will be starting this coming Saturday for most divisions. Competitive teams can now start with the schedule complete up to October 17. The are a few rules in place for both players and parents. Players should come to the arena dressed and ready to play except for helmets and skates. Masks must be worn until they put on their helmets. The coaches will direct players including when they should leave the arena. For parents, only one parent per player will be allowed in the arena and must leave the arena as soon as ice time ends. Social distancing protocols apply. No siblings will be allowed in the arena. Even with the new rules, players are happy to be out playing thier game.

I am part of a rotation of Registered Nurses working on different inpatient units. I work mostly in the Intensive Care Unit. I love helping people that need care and learning something new every day in my job. COVID-19 has made me more aware of how easily viruses and infections can transmit and how diligent we all need to be with wearing the right personal protective equipment and in practicing physical distancing and hand hygiene. COVID-19 has also been really hard on frontline workers because of having to wear a mask for long periods of time. One of the most difficult parts was not being able to just walk in a patient’s room and cheer them up with a smile!

WOAA cancels entire senior hockey season Lack of fans and cost to prohibitive this year By BRIAN LOCKHART
It is another casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Western Ontario Athletic Association has announced there will not be a senior hockey season this year. The situation was discussed at the Annual Meeting on Thursday, September 24. A motion was moved, seconded, and carried that “collectively as members of the W.O.A.A. Senior Hockey League, a decision was made that there would be no playing season for 2020 – 2021 hockey season.” This means the Shelburne Senior Muskies won’t be on the ice this year. Senior hockey in the WOAA began in the 1948 / 49 season and has ran continuously for 72 seasons. The decision cancels the original plans of having a late start to the season. The season usually gets underway in October however it was decided to move the start of the season back to December for a late start. The current ‘second wave’ of COVID-19 forced the WOAA to re-think its position on allowing the schedule to go ahead. Board members considered the ‘likelihood of limited or no fans due to COVID-19 and the ‘costs of running a season’ when making their decision. “There was a meeting of the club GM’s,” said Barry Trood, general manager of the Muskies. “We thought we’d get a shorter schedule, but the (COVID) numbers have just gone the other way. Some of the clubs don’t even know if they’ll have an area to play at this year. The situation, the way it is, it costs a lot of money to keep and arena running if no one is booking the ice.” The entire situation, Trood said, from lack of dressing rooms and lack of support from sponsors and related club fund raising efforts, just made it impossible to put a season together. “With our senior club, the refs have to get dressed before the game, there isn’t any dressing rooms available. We can’t have the Blueline Club, and there would be no fans. Going forward with these issues, it just isn’t viable for the League to operate. Obviously we’re a fan-based league. With the sponsors, we can’t even guarantee a year. It’s hard to go out there and talk to the sponsors when we can’t even guarantee them we’re going to have a season. With the economy the way it is, a lot of small business have been hit hard. We’re a community driven team and we’ve been here for a long time. To have no fan base and no proper hockey, it just became impossible to go on the ice this year.” Even if the League had decided to try to have a season, some municipalities have not put ice in their arenas so teams would have nowhere to play. Whether ice goes in is a decision made at the municipal level. Some communities have decided that the cost of keeping ice in an arena this year just isn’t worth the cost. The only thing League executives can do is hope the current situation is resolved and plan for next season.

Germany at thirty I have just spent two weeks driving around Germany interviewing people (mostly climate scientists, since you ask), and I have come to the conclusion that it is the best-run – and quite possibly just the best – major country in the world right now. Some small countries are absolute jewels, of course, but it’s easier if you’re small. Big powers fight more wars, contain more divisions, suffer nastier and more ridiculous delusions of grandeur. But if you only consider countries with more than 50 million people, then Germany today is the fairest, the least conflicted, the most peaceful, actually the nicest major country on the planet. That wasn’t true thirty years ago, and it may not be true thirty years hence, but it’s worth noting because Saturday marks the thirtieth anniversary of the unification of Germany in 1990, just one year after the Berlin Wall came down. Compared to what happened after the first time it was unified, it has all worked out rather well. The first unification of Germany, in 1871, was achieved by war, and led to more and much bigger wars – not entirely Germany’s fault, of course, but certainly the consequence of the sudden appearance of a highly nationalistic new great power in the heart of Europe. After the Second World War, Germany was divided into three. The eastern third was
emptied of Germans and given to Poland (in compensation for the eastern third of pre-war Poland, which was kept by the Soviet Union). The middle part, also under Soviet occupation, became Communist-ruled ‘East Germany’, while the rest, with most of the population, became ‘West Germany’. The ‘two Germanies’ became the cockpit of the Cold War, with huge armies of tanks ready to roll and nuclear weapons not far behind them. Many people understood that this could not go on forever, that some day the country would have to be reunited – but they were terrified by the prospect. They feared that the process of reunification might trigger a war, and they also feared a reunited Germany. Lord Ismay, the British general who became the first secretary-general of the NATO alliance (which included West Germany), put it bluntly: “NATO exists to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.” French journalist and poet François Mauriac said it more elegantly: “I love Germany so much that I’m glad there are two of them.” If the trigger to end the East German Communist regime had been in British, French and American hands, it might never have been pulled. But it was actually in the hands of the East Germans themselves, and in 1989 they brought down their oppressors without a shot

being fired. All the other Communist states of eastern Europe followed suit. There was great joy in both parts of Germany – the street party after the Berlin Wall came down was probably the best and certainly the longest I have ever attended – but there was considerable trepidation elsewhere. However Mikhail Gorbachev, the reformist Soviet leader, reassured everybody by declaring that Moscow had no objection to German reunification, and the deed was done thirty years ago this week. It has worked out very well. There are sad people and even wicked people in Germany, like everywhere else, but as a society it radiates contentment. Unflustered competence lubricated by a general tone of good-will make minor daily transactions less of an ordeal, and the strident nationalism that now disfigures so many other countries is conspicuous by its absence. In the place of that the Germans have a dedication to the European project: like ‘Amens’ in a church, invocations of ‘Europe’ punctuate political conversations. And if you say this is a defensive reaction against Germany’s terrible history in the two generations before 1945, I would probably agree – but what’s wrong with that? Even the economic contrast between the formerly Communist-ruled east and the rest
Wildlife viewing during lockdown With limitations on social activities and travelling still—or again—keeping everyone at home a lot more this year than some of us care for, long walks and bicycle rides have become more of a thing for many individuals and families. Assuming we are physically distancing from ‘outsiders’ while outdoors, it is a safe and enjoyable activity that provides opportunity not only for fresh air and exercise but also to spot more wildlife than we can say around our homes. For me, going into nature means I look and listen actively for any and all wildlife; on the ground, in the trees, in the air or on the water. I never understand individuals who walk or even cycle through a beautiful setting with ear buds in their ears and listening to music instead of absorbing and relaxing with the natural sounds around them. But each to their own. The trail around local Island Lake certainly provides a good test of all senses. Along the 8.2 km trail that circumnavigates the lake are interpretative signs telling you about a few of the wildlife and plant species you may come to see. By far the most creatures can be spotted from the boardwalks and bridges on the west side of the Lake. Simply
slow down and stop often to take a long look at what’s moving or sometimes standing stock still around you! Even if you don’t know at the time which species you are looking at, notice their shape, size, and the colour of their feathers, beaks, wings, fur or shell and then look them up online or in a wildlife or bird book you can get from the library or bookstore. Despite the water levels of Island Lake receding every summer and the weeds and mudflats seeming to take over the little bays, these active wetlands offer a plethora of beautiful creatures right outside our little town. This year, visiting many times either on foot or by bicycle, I observed the largest number of species I’ve seen so far, detecting them either with my bare eyes or using binoculars (and I recommend those for added fun). My personal favourite is early mornings when the air is fresh, the trail has just a few fellow hikers, bikers or runners and the wild creatures feel less disturbed. My venerable list of sightings so far includes the following: In the water, mud or on logs: Blue herons, egrets, cormorants, American Bittern (an exciting first sighting for me), a whole lot of Canada geese and ducks (teals, mallards,
of the country, to the great disadvantage of the former, is gradually eroding: average incomes among ‘Ossis’(easterners) are now up to almost 90% of ‘Wessi’ earnings. All the ‘coolest’ cities, the magnets that attract the young, are in the former east: Berlin, Dresden, and now Leipzig. It’s not paradise, but when you compare it with the incompetent, belligerent populism that prevails in formally democratic countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil and India, it looks pretty good. ‘Wir schaffen das” (We can manage this), said Chancellor Angela Merkel when over a million mostly Muslim refugees arrived in Germany in 2016, and four years later it looks like she was right. ‘Mutti’ (Mommy), as Germans call her, has been chancellor for half of the past thirty years, so there will be a collective holding of breath when she retires next year. But the world would be a better and safer place if there were more countries like Germany. Plus there’s no speed limit at all on the autobahns. Where else can you drive at 160 kph and have cars whooshing past you all the time?

and others), sandpipers, Eastern painted turtles, muskrats, green frogs and small fish. In the air: Killdear, Osprey, belted Kingfishers, American goldfinches, chickadees, warblers, herons, egrets, Bobolink, hummingbird, Northern Oriole, swallows, kestrels, ring-billed gulls, terns, Common Loons, red-winged blackbirds, a whole lot of Canada geese and monarch butterflies. On the ground: Rabbits (once a whole family with babies mere feet from me!), chipmunks and ground squirrels. In addition to or instead of wildlife viewing, the Memorial Forest Trail in the easterly park section provides a different look and feel of paths than other areas of the lake. This former meadowland has gently rolling, grassy hills and a stunning memorial wall. It was built in 2011 by local dry-stone waller, Eric Landman, in memory of his late wife. The Credit Valley Conservation Authority (CVC) takes care of the trails and waterways, as it is not a provincial park. Island Lake, initially called Orangeville Reservoir, covers 329 hectares of lake, bogs, marshes, rivers and creeks that are part of the provincially significant Orangeville Wetland Complex. All of it is
important for protecting the headwaters of the Nottawasaga and Credit Rivers and the lake’s dams control water flow into the latter, with the wetlands acting as a filter to purify the water. Other local spots for good hikes and various wildlife sightings are Monora Park, Caledon Railway Trail and the well-known Bruce Trail. While I have explored some of those and certainly enjoy the scenery of any trail and park, I do find that a lake and wetland area as open as Island Lake offers wildlife fans and bird spotters quit a bit more to look at and get excited over. I am fortunate enough to have a decently sized garden that is surrounded by mature trees and more gardens, so that even from my patio I have been able to enjoy many additional bird and butterfly species. Although sadly the local raccoon and previous years’ handsome skunk family didn’t make any appearances this year. On your next hike somewhere nice, I encourage you to pay extra attention to how many wildlife species you can spot!
WE DON’T BREW OUR BEER FOR THE AWARDS. BUT HE DOES! Our brewmaster, Andrew Kohnen, threw away a successful career in logistics to pursue his dream of reconnecting with the brewing roots of his family. This carried him to the UK’s prestigious Brewlab in Sunderland, England, where he procured the alchemy that would drive his signature brewing style. He took what he could from there and ventured to Scotland, Cornwall, and ultimately to Krefeld, Germany, working in the same brewery that had belonged to his ancestors. He came home to Canada for Hockley. You could call it dumb, but we call it destiny.

ORANGEVILLE CITIZEN | OCTOBER 8, 2020
Why do we continue? Once I had a friend who killed herself. Sonja. A brilliant, kinda crazy German, who drove to live in England on her motorcycle; got a perfectly good job in a gas station and was riding to work one morning when a motorist t-boned her – his fault. She survived that silly incident. I was living in London, working as a manager in an office, when I met Sonja because I was interviewing her for a job. She came into the office on crutches. Irresistibly, a friendship ensued and the laughs we had, the memories of the “screwball comedy” of our lives still make me laugh. Over the years, my professional life progressed to something much bigger than that office and Sonja stayed in my life, still sometimes working with me. There were hard times too, mixed in with the rest, by which I do not mean trouble with drugs or drink or the like. Sonja confronted her own difficulties by going to night school, earning a certificate and looking to improve her lot. Then, a petty bureaucrat issued paperwork that ruined her life, in the moment; crossed her red line. Then, she decided and, in the end, there was no stopping it. In the way, a person does threaten to kill themselves, not meaning it but gaining some strange solace from saying it, Sonja said it once:
B3
CONSTANCE SCRAFIELD WITH YOUR PERMISSION
“I’m going to buy a hose, rent a car and go for a trip.” She took her dog with her. Naturally, we regarded it as something a person says; not something a person actually does but one day, she was gone and there was no cell phone, no email, no way to communicate with a person on the road, with intent. So, I called the police and I told them: “This is what she’s planning to do.” Taking my call seriously, they traced her through her credit card and got back to me: “She’s in the Lake District [that very scenic area in the north west of England] having a wonderful time. Don’t worry about her.” “It’s the party before the storm,” I warned them. Sure enough, ten days or so later, there was a cop at my door, telling me the sad news of the police finding Sonja in a rented car, the hose through the window from the pipe, Sonja and the dog dead. Moral of the story: when a person decides to end it, that’s very hard to stop. There is real cruelty to this kind of end: it leaves everyone behind with the weight of guilt or, at least, remorse. I write this sad story on a rainy, windy day. The cat has insisted to go out and insisted to come in, grouchy with the
weather. I offer it as an analogy to the determined suicide we are committing of the planet. We don’t have Sonja’s excuses; at the top, we are committing through greed and - God knows – denial of irrefutable evidence, presented hourly to us by scientists, who are weeping and gnashing their teeth when off camera; pleading with industry and politicians to stop the damage, then, bending their heads with the acknowledgement that it is almost too late. The population of the earth, us in the trenches, as it were, are committing the sin of complacency, of agreeing to the path being taken by our acquiescence, our lack of rejection. Our continued participation in the destruction. So, Thanksgiving weekend is coming up and the wires will be filled with reasons to praise, reasons to give thanks, ways of consoling ourselves about these weird times, looking with horror to the south and with commiseration across the oceans but, still expressing gratitude for what is good, funny, kind in the world. Along I come, like any old curmudgeon, with my tales of doom and much worse times yet to see. People risk their lives in marches of protest and wonderful, inventive people
work so hard to find safe ways for us all to live. The stupid internet overwhelms the unwary browser with truth and lies all looking the same. It’s so easy to decide that the dangers are exaggerated: you can find somewhere online to back that up. ‘Twas ever thus. Truth is, we’ve been headed this way for all our existence; it just took us this long to manage it but, like Sonja, we have never been interested in other ways. There is an on linehistory encyclopedia, it calls itself and one is constantly reminded that humans have been constantly at war, war being among the most destructive forces of all. We rarely talk about the environmental devastation of war, progressively so, as we create more dangerous weapons: there has been no slowing this and the crazy, crazy inventiveness of industry. Thanksgiving is a heartfelt time. As we look into our own hearts, those tender places in our psyches, can we really explain why we are what we are? Can we truly explain why we want to die?
individuals. And ultimately to reflect on what could have been, if so many had not died. Take a look at the local cenotaph the next time you’re in a really small town. It is astounding how many names are carved into granite from towns that only had a population of a few hundred people. Our Second World War veterans are aging rapidly and not many remain. Korean War veterans are even harder to find. Now we also remember those that died
in Afghanistan. If Remembrance Day services are indeed called off this year due to restrictions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, you can still make an effort. You can fly a flag, hang a banner, something to recognized the sacrifice made. Even if services are given the go-ahead, you can still proudly fly the flag to show your support. For just one hour each year, we should all make the effort to remember our fallen soldiers.

The Show will go on After a short break and a night of chorus trivia, the Orangeville Show Chorus gathered at the Davis Farm for a ‘Sunflower Soiree’ in mid-September. Wearing masks and social distancing, we enjoyed the gorgeous fields of sunflowers, and even managed to sing a couple songs spread out amongst the blooms. And even though faces were covered, it was so refreshing to see everyone again, and not just the ‘face on Zoom’. And although no hugs, the love was tangible and hope was in the air. Reflecting on the visit brings to mind the ‘growth’ we saw, telling us that nature carries on during these trying times. Flowers bloom and give beauty to the world. The seeds will be harvested and provide food. The earth will rejuvenate and prepare for next year’s crop. And so with our chorus.
We will carry on, we will ‘bloom where we are planted’, as we learn new music that will eventually fill the world with song. We rejuvenate as we stay in our homes, we rest, we contemplate, we plan, we connect as able, and we plan for next year. 2020 will not define who we are. We have a history. Long before COVID-19 changed our lives. We had shows. We attended music schools. We joined committees. We sat at board meetings. We went on retreat. We had section practice. We moved risers. We had Chorus parties to celebrate milestone years. And we sang our hearts out. So many ballads and uptunes and fun tunes and parodies and quartet songs and tags and even some songs we thought we would never learn - in different languages. We had it all. And we will have it again. In the big scheme of things, 2020 will be in our history
book as a time of struggle, a time of change, a time of sadness for many, a time of pain, a time of economic downturn, and a time of isolation. But it will also be shown as a time of learning new things, a time of new means to communicate, a time of hope, a time of connecting like we never did before, a time of promise and a time to regroup, refresh and move forward. The Sunflowers will grow and bloom again next year. Orangeville Chorus will also experience growth as we move through these times and will ‘bloom’ again in 2021 with new music and new possibilities, with our faces to the sun.

countryside where they shared their love for cars, and talks about hockey and life.
Glenn admired Reese’s gentle strength, how resourceful he was and how incredibly kind, trusting and polite he was to everyone he met. A team player in sports, particularly hockey, his teammates could count on Reese, on and off the ice. Reese adored his most incredible Mom. She was his lighthouse. He knew he would always find love and safety with her. He trusted her. With grace, from the moment he was born, she always kept him safe, advocated for him, honoured and showed him respect as a whole person. While looking up from the ice, he could count on seeing his Mom in the stands and cheering him on. Jen adored Reese’s beautiful smile which lit up the room and his infectious laugh. He was jolly as a baby, and maintained this joie de vivre throughout life. Beloved grandparents, uncles and aunts, and his cousins Isabel and Avery, will hold Reese so dearly in their hearts with the memories of their unique and loving relationships. Reese formed strong bonds with a circle of childhood friends who kept in close touch with him throughout his illness. Reese loved and excelled at school. His favourite subjects were math and gym. He was so creative! He enjoyed art and he was a gifted musician. His
Reese messages of support, and commented that he is one of those kids that made his way into their hearts, will be remembered and made a profound impact on them both personally and professionally. Reese was very spiritual. He made us feel hopeful, because he was so positive and trusting. He always had a plan and a list of goals he wanted to accomplish. Reese made us feel in control of the uncontrollable.
Reese’s legacy is a simple lesson and reminder about love. Love unconditionally, care for your family, friends, teammates and community. Be kind, live joyfully, have fun and maintain a positive outlook. Say thank you, set goals, make an impact, laugh, love yourself, and make great memories. Forget Ron Burgundy. YOU ARE a big deal Reese - and you always will be. We love you. The family will receive their friends at the Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen Street S. (Hwy. 50), Bolton on Friday, October 9 from 2-8 o’ clock. Please call the funeral home to schedule a time to visit. Private funeral service by family invite only. Cremation to follow. If desired, memorial donations in Reese’s memory may be made to Sick Kids Foundation. Condolences for the family may be offered at www.EganFuneralHome.com
