Driscoll plans to run for mayor; Whale won’t seek re-election
Snowshoe safety check - With school buses not running for a third consecutive day on Jan. 8, Maryborough Public School principal Tracey Kuchma and custodian Tammy Metzger took the opportunity to do a tour of the school grounds on snowshoes to check for damaged tree branches or other potential hazards caused by recent heavy snowstorms, in anticipation of a return to classes the following day. photo by Patrick Raftis
by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - There will be a new mayor in Mapleton before the year is out. 2014 is a municipal election year in Ontario and incumbent Mayor Bruce Whale has told the Community News he will not be seeking re-election. Meanwhile, current Mapleton councillor Neil Driscoll filed nomination papers indicating he will run for mayor. Mapleton CAO Patty Sinnamon said Driscoll filed his papers during the first week of January (nominations opened Jan. 1). Whale told the Community News in a Jan. 10 telephone interview that he will not be seeking re-election as mayor. He also said he would not be running for any position on township council, but may consider a run for the Ward 2 seat on Wellington County council. That position is currently held by Mapleton resident and former local mayor and reeve John Green and Whale said he will consider running if Green decides not to seek re-election. Whale, who served multiple terms as a councillor in Mapleton before becoming mayor, garnered 1,273 votes to win a three-way race over mayoral candidates Richard Molenaar and John Linde in 2010. “I originally went into this with a one-term commitment in mind,” said Whale, noting the time frame fulfills both his commitment to his family and his electoral supporters.

NEIL DRISCOLL
“If there are some younger people with new ideas, it’s time for them to take over,” he added. Whale also said he hopes to find more time to travel with his wife, Deborah. Driscoll, a first-time councillor, garnered the most votes (1,419) among candidates for council positions in the 2010 election. He said he was aware of Whale’s intention not to run before filing his nomination papers. “I had considered (running for) mayor quite a while ago, but I wanted to do a term on council first to see how things would go,” said Driscoll. “I appreciate what Mayor Whale did as mayor, but I think the mayor needs to take a stronger position in council and the operation of the municipality and my goal is to be that person.” None of the other incumbent councillors - Jim Curry, Mike Downey and Andy Knetsch - have filed papers as of press deadline and no
new candidates have emerged so far. Curry, Downey and Knetsch beat out a field that included four other candidates to claim the remaining positions on council in the last election. No filings in Minto While nomination papers have been filed in several other Wellington County municipalities, no candidates have officially declared their intention to run in the Town of Minto. Key dates Voting Day for the 2014 municipal and school board elections is Oct. 27. The final day for candidates to file nomination papers is Sept. 12, which is also the final day for declared candidates to withdraw their names from the ballot. Mapleton Township voters submitted ballots by mail in 2010 and Sinnamon said a report recommending a mail-in vote for 2014 was be on the agenda for the Jan. 14 council Continued on page 6
Tragic crash claims life of local woman DRAYTON – A Mapleton woman died following a twovehicle accident near here on Jan. 10. Wellington County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a serious motor vehicle collision on Wellington Road 8 near Wellington Road 12 in Mapleton Township at approximately 6:16pm. Police say a 2002 Chevrolet driven by Clara Showalter, 69, of Mapleton, was westbound on Wellington Road 8, and attempted to turn into a private driveway. An eastbound 2007 Chevrolet, driven by a 19-yearold Mapleton Township man, collided with Showalter’s vehicle. Guelph-Wellington Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Mapleton Fire Rescue at-
tended the scene. Showalter was transported to a local hospital by ambulance and later transferred to Hamilton General Hospital for further treatment. However, she succumbed to her injuries and died in hospital the following day, Jan. 11. West Region OPP Traffic Collision Investigators (TCI) attended the scene to assist with the investigation. Following visitation at Heritage Funeral Home in Drayton on Jan. 14 and Calvary Conservative Mennonite Church in Elmira on Jan. 15, a funeral service for Showalter, who is survived by her husband Nathan and six children, was held at Crystal View Mennonite Church in Floradale on Jan. 16.

some people are going onto GRCA trails and other properties to remove downed branches so they can use the properties. In particular, some people have been removing obstructions on the EloraCataract Trailway to open it for snowmobile use. However,
in some cases they have left the trees and branches dangerously close to the trail, putting snowmobiles at risk. They are also not dealing with overhead dangers, which imperils snowmobilers who may think the trail has been cleared,” officials noted in a Jan. 10 press release.

With the last turn of the calendar, Ontario entered a municipal election year. Voters will go to the polls in 2014 to exercise their right to input on how their town or township is governed for the next four years. With the official nomination period opening on Jan. 1, electors and candidates alike have plenty of time to prepare for Oct. 27, when the votes will be tallied. In recent years, municipalities have tried various alternatives to the traditional polling booth, from telephone voting to mail-in ballots, primarily in an effort to attract more electors to the polls. While such options have generally resulted in higher turnouts, it shouldn’t matter whether we are free to vote online or compelled to travel to a polling station - there’s really no excuse for not taking advantage of the opportunity to become informed and participate in the grassroots democracy of municipal politics. That’s especially true today, as upper tiers continue to slash funding and download financial obligations to municipalities, many of which are reaching critical positions in relation to their ability to support future infrastructure needs. The early weeks of an election year are also a good time for citizens to consider if they have what it takes to put their name forward on a ballot. While institutional memory and experience are important factors in the provision of good governance, new candidates with new ideas are also important contributors to a well-balanced local council. As the element of choice is the linchpin of democracy, even those candidates who are unsuccessful in their bid for a seat at the council table have made an important contribution simply by compelling voters to consider alternatives. The final day for candidates to file nomination papers is Sept. 12, which is also the final day for declared candidates to withdraw their names from the ballot. However a serious candidate should plan to throw their hat into the ring well before the deadline in order to mount a credible campaign. In addition to becoming informed on local issues, voters need to stay abreast of changes to the voting procedure while candidates will need to stay current on campaign regulations. The Community News will be following electoral developments and sharing them with our readers, with coverage intensifying as voting day draws closer. In the meantime, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing offers helpful guides for both voters and candidates on its website at www.mah.gov.on.ca/ Page219.aspx. Patrick Raftis

Mapleton Musings Column courtesy of Mapleton Historical Society An industry sets up shop While searching the land records for the village of Drayton for information in preparation for the September walk in the downtown area, it became apparent those records could confirm many facts about the area that are rather obscure in the existing histories of the village. The records for the land on John Street owned by the County of Wellington and housing its works garage and yards is one such property. Mary Clarke owned a part of what was originally surveyed as Lot 1, Concession 11, in the Township of Peel. She had a survey prepared, setting out John, Clarke and Halden
Streets with abutting residential and park lots. Drayton was incorporated as a village in 1875, and records show Mary Clarke selling the first lot in 1875. Her plan had 14 lots on Haldan Street. These lots had various owners until 1901, when Henry Schieck had acquired all 14. That year, he sold them all to William Ritch and James Ritch. In 1912 the Village of Drayton purchased the 14 lots for $300. In 1921 the property was, in turn, sold to Canadian Flax Mills Ltd. for $300. The municipality also gave Canadian Flax Mills Ltd. a $4,000 mortgage on the property, the surety being “Together with all buildings,
plants, engines, machinery etc, except that used in connection with the electric light plant.” This seemed an unusually generous use of taxpayer dollars. A search of local news items seemed in order. In the spring of 1911 the Canadian Flax Mills Company announced they proposed building a mill in Drayton that would be a benefit to the town and country side alike. They were importing flax seed from Holland which would be distributed to the farmers of Peel and Maryborough by O.B. Henry & Co. Reeve George M. Fox and councillors Reuben R. Hambly, Dr. Everon Flath, William H. Richards and J. F. Elliott must
have seen this proposal as being good for the community as clerk A.C. Woodman was instructed to prepare a by-law setting out the particulars of the matter. The electorate of the village would vote on the bylaw on June 7, 1911. The particulars were: the Canadian Flax Mills Company was to be given a free site of three acres, exempt from taxes, and the loan of $4,000 for 10 years at five per cent interest. The result of the vote showed almost unanimous support of the electorate with the results being 172 to one in favour of the proposal. The summer of 1911 saw workmen erecting the buildings for the mill.
The farmers had taken advantage of the imported seed and, in August, 42 natives from Southampton were in the fields of the township to assist in pulling the flax. It was reported that Rev. C.H. Vessott, inventor of a flax-pulling machine, was in Drayton setting up a machine. Whether this was a demonstration is not recorded. Flax pulling was labour intensive and we haven’t found any mention of machinery being used to
ease the load in that era. Strangely the land records show ownership of this parcel was transferred to Drayton Mills Ltd. in 1914 and in 1916 to the Village of Drayton. The village remained the owner until 1934 when the parcel was sold to William Rennie through a tax sale. The back taxes were $666. What happened to the flax mill and the electric light plant are stories for another time. submitted by Jean Campbell
MPPs back call for review of emergency preparedness QUEEN’S PARK - Area MPPs are backing an opposition motion to strike an allparty legislative committee to study the province’s emergency preparedness and to develop a protocol for quicker responses in the future. The motion will be brought forward by the Ontario Progressive Conservative Caucus on Feb. 18, the first day the Legislature is scheduled to resume sitting. In the wake of the Dec. 22 ice storm that left large parts of Ontario without power for up to two weeks, Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece says it’s time to take a look at how the province can better prevent large-scale power outages and respond more quickly when they happen. “Many in our area were without power for several days,” Pettapiece stated in a Jan. 8 press release. “While Toronto was often in the news, this storm affected a great number of communities across the province. “We need to do everything we can to make sure that every community, no matter how small, can keep the lights on,” Pettapiece added. “And if they do go out, we need to know that every community receives its fair share of resources to turn them back on.” In a separate press release, Wellington-Halton Hills MPP Ted Arnott also backed the call for a review. “I believe that in the aftermath of5 the Size: x 4ice storm we experienced over Christmas, it’s important to take a step back
and to review what the province did right, as well as identify areas where we can improve the process for next time,” said Arnott. “That’s what this committee should be designed to do.” The holiday ice storm knocked out power to over 600,000 homes across Ontario, leaving many in the dark for as many as eleven days. “The ice storm hit Wellington-Halton Hills particularly hard,” Arnott noted. “We need to ensure that next time we are ready to respond as quickly and efficiently as possible.” Pettapiece praised local officials and clean-up crews, who worked hard under difficult circumstances. “I would like to thank municipal officials, hydro and Continued on next page

Floradale’s Nick Martin added one final goal late in the game. DRAYTON 5 COMMUNITY 0 The game was scoreless until the second period when Drayton broke out for four unanswered goals. Pat Landman, Rick Robous, Dave Mulder and Brandon Rumph scored the goals. Robous and Landman also collected an assist. Other assists were earned by Rob DeWeerd, Eric Deckers and Brent Dekoning.

power that enables him to act beyond his mere limited human desire or response. In this reality he is taught to pray not only for his daily bread but that he will forgive those who do him wrong. In the usual service after the participants join praying the Lord’s Prayer the minister or priest continues praying these words: “We yield thee (you) hearty thanks, most merciful Father, that it hath pleased thee to regenerate this Infant with thy Holy Spirit, to receive him for thine own Child by adoption, and to incorporate him into thy holy church. And humbly we beseech thee to grant that he being dead unto sin, and living unto righteousness, and being buried with Christ in his death, may crucify the old man, and utterly abolish the whole
body of sin; and that, as he is made partaker of the death of thy Son, he may also be partaker of his resurrection; so that finally, with the residue of thy holy Church, he may be an inheritor of thine everlasting kingdom; through Christ our Lord. Amen.” Recently I led a service of baptism for another cute baby. His parents had understood that he needed a community of faith to belong to in order to help them raise him to be the man God is pleased with. The church and his parents and extended family made promises to commit to this wonderful life together among people who really care under the guidance of God. The royal family has set a great precedent for all of us who want our children to have and to be the very best.

puck and drove it into the net for the unassisted goal. Drayton out shot Community 33 to 18 to help Kevin Ottens record the shutout in net. LISTOWEL 5 MISSIONARY 4 Missionary grabbed an early lead in the first period on a goal by Scott Vandepas. Listowel stormed back however, with two quick goals by Phil Shantz and Mark Hockley. Missionary regrouped and regained the lead with two more goals before the period ended. Steve Domitrovic scored the tying goal and Steve Slot blasted a long slap shot for a short-handed goal. Missionary’s Brady Franklin scored another short-handed goal to add to their lead early in the second. Listowel’s Max Brubacher and Curtis Wagler set up Travis Kuepfer for a goal. Listowel kept fighting hard and was rewarded. Mike Gingrich and Josh Shantz worked the puck for a tidy pass along the crease. Phil Shantz drove to the net to tip the puck into the corner and tie the game. Listowel’s Max Brubacher fired a screened shot through a crowd for the winning goal.
Call for review FROM PREVIOUS PAGE clean-up crews, and all those who assisted in the aftermath of the storm,” said Pettapiece. “In Perth-Wellington, we again saw neighbour helping neighbour.” Arnott stressed the call for a review was not a criticism of the work carried out during the ice storm. “I want to thank all the men and women who worked so hard and gave up Christmas with their families to respond to the crisis. They did an amazing job.” In particular, Arnott acknowledged the efforts of staff at Hydro One, Halton Hills Hydro, and Centre Wellington Hydro, as well as municipal councils and staff.
