Creemore needs housing for seniors. There is no doubt that however many units, if and when they are constructed, will be a hot commodity. This week, council heard plans for a seniors apartment building near the Creemore library. The project is only in the proposal phase but we expect the proposed 24 units would be spoken for once the shovel hits the ground. Clearview, like many places, has an aging population. Of half the adults in the village, a large portion are probably entertaining the idea of downsizing or moving to a place that requires less maintenance. The other half are starting to think about their aging parents and how to accommodate their changing needs. It would be very reassuring to know there are housing options nearby. In communities such as this people come and go but we happen to know people have left this village Junior room at Duntroon SS#3 in 1955.

She is showing a body of oil paintings, mostly Clearview Township landscapes and a couple of abstracts. She said she is inspired by the landscapes that surround her and her connection to the land. “I’m a new painter so it seems like a natural place to start exploring with paint,” said McIntosh, who lives near Nottawa. She is attracted to the sky, which plays predominantly in her paintings. To get a luminescent sky, McIntosh starts with a layer of bright paint and then builds the blue sky on top, allowing the colour underneath to peek through. While there may be parts of her compositions that are busy and have a lot of colour, there is always a part that is quiet and calm. Oil paintings by Kara McIntosh will be exhibited at Curiosity House Books until March 4. “I feel like I am looking for calm through my paintbrush,” said McIntosh. The show’s title, Out There, has a dual meaning Family Day in that her subject matter is outdoors and also Specials! recognizing the vulnerability in showing art for LOVE TO the first time.
