Fire brigade clash raises cash for Camp Bucko, local sledge hockey DRAYTON – A sledge hockey battle for the ages went down at the PMD arena on Feb. 27. Backed by shutout goaltending, a squad of Minto firefighters downed Mapleton’s hose brigade by a score of 4-0 in a game to benefit young burn
victims and area sledge hockey initiatives. The game was the first try at sledge hockey for most of the Mapleton Fire Rescue and Minto Fire players, whose comments about “sore backs� and how “the game was harder than you think� were heard around
the rink. Numerous players had to call for assistance to get upright after tipping their sleds during the contest. Mapleton Fire Chief Rick Richardson said, “The Mapleton team’s strength did not surface until the third period.�
Coincidentally, that’s when Richardson joined the team on the ice. A good crowd was on hand for the game, and $1,900 was raised for Camp Bucko and sledge hockey programs in Wellington County, aided by an anonymous donation to cover
ice time. Mayor Neil Driscoll said, “We will be protesting the game because the Minto goalie was wearing illegal equipment and (Minto) Mayor George Bridge faked the flu and did not attend the game. There will be a rematch.�
The result means Driscoll lost a bet with Bridge and will wear a Town of Minto hat at the next Mapleton Township council meeting. “No matter what I have to wear, I always look better than the Minto mayor,� Driscoll insisted.
Mapleton youth among nominees for Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award by Caroline Sealey MAPLETON A Moorefield-area youth was among the nominees for the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards. Matthew Rumph, 13, a Grade 8 student at Community Christian School (CCS) in Drayton was nominated by his mother, Teresa Rumph, in two categories: performing worthwhile community service and contributing to the community while living with limitations.
“Learning for me requires a lot of concentration. Math is my hardest subject, gym class is my favourite. It’s hard to sit still for a long time. I really enjoy helping with the sound system at school when we have assemblies,� Matthew said. CCS principal Raymond Verburg noted on Matthew’s nomination form that “Through some of the responsibilities that Matthew has taken on at school, he has shown a tremendous amount of growth. He is
responsible for setting up and running sound equipment at special events at the school. Matthew steps forward to help and serve whenever possible. I have seen his confidence grow and I have seen his leadership skills blossom.� Teresa noted Matthew is a happy young man who is unusually sensitive to the needs of others and will almost always put others before himself. She said he will slip away Continued on page 3

Local women participate in Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Snow Run by Caroline Sealey DRAYTON - With a breast cancer diagnosis, a patient’s world is turned upside down. Financial worries that may not have existed before, can cause additional stress. One organization is doing its part by providing assistance to patients who are unable to afford the cost of medications, travel expenses, make monthly rent payments or purchase groceries. The Kelly Shires Foundation is a volunteer-run organization that assists with the financial aspects of the cancer battle so patients can focus on their personal well being. Kelly Shires’ life changed after a breast cancer diagnosis in December 1996. Pregnant with her first child, within a week, Shire had four surgeries, terminated the pregnancy and began six months of chemotherapy. Her husband Ken sold their successful business in Mississauga, moved the couple to the Georgian Bay area and focused on Shires’ battle with cancer. Shires wanted to help others with breast cancer as she experienced the emotional, men-
Snow runners - Shannon Marriott of Palmerston, left, and Eliza Dippel of Drayton were first-time attendees at the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Snow Run in Huntsville in early February. In its 17th year, the 150km snowmobile run is an all-women ride raising an awareness and funds for those diagnosed with breast cancer. Funds are distributed directly to cancer patients who are experiencing financial difficulty because of their diagnosis. submitted photo tal and physical stress of the disease and found the added financial stress to be overwhelming. Shires, along with
good friend Suzy Stenoff, organized a fundraising snow run as Shires was passionate about snowmobiling. The concept of
an all-woman snowmobile ride with women helping women was born. Even though the first snow run in 2000 was rained out, the spirit of the women in attendance was evident as $10,000 was raised for the cause. In October 2004, Shires lost an eight-year battle with cancer. Her dream continued as the 17th annual Snow Run was held in Huntsville Feb. 5 to 7. Drayton resident Eliza Dippel and Shannon Marriott of Palmerston participated in the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Snow Run for the first time this year. “I like this organization because money doesn’t go to hospitals or research. It goes directly to the breast cancer patient who needs help financially to pay rent, get groceries or buy gas to travel to appointments,” Dippel said. Upon arrival on Friday at the event, volunteers unloaded participants’ snowmobiles into a secure compound. To encourage new friendships and rekindle old ones, the women take part in a door decorating contest and decorated bra contest with prizes, giveaways and
raffle draws held throughout the weekend. Friday night’s agenda began with a meet and greet and updates for snowmobilers on trail rules and signals. Saturday morning at 9am, snowmobilers departed the resort after opening ceremonies and a moment of silence in honour of friends who have lost their battle with breast cancer. The run consisted of five teams: Team Turtle for beginners or sightseers, Bosom Cruisers - a shorter route with a few extra stops, Team Rock (Shires’ team) whose members love to have fun on the trails, Dream Team - a fun riding aggressive team, and Hooter Haulers - experienced riders that love to ride on the edge. The run is approximately 150km of scenic trails. After a day on the trails, riders enjoyed an evening gala that included a buffet dinner, awards, speeches, live and silent auctions and grand finale raffle for a snowmobile. The foundation receives seven to 10 applications for assistance each week, with the need for assistance increasing yearly. The organization now has

FROM PAGE ONE unnoticed and complete chores his siblings choose not to do. He plays with younger family members and takes time to answer questions they ask or to explain things to them. Matthew joined the Air Cadets after being inspired by his grandpa. Two uncles have also completed the program. At five years of age Matthew’s grandpa, a pilot, took him flying and told him that things may be harder for him than it would be for others who do not have ADHD, but that Matthew should not let the diagnosis stop him from being all he wants to be. In September of 2014, Matthew joined the 895 Fred Campbell V.C. Squadron, Air Cadets based in Mount Forest. Each Wednesday evening for a couple of hours, he learns drills and attends classes. The squadron sells poppies for the Legion around Remembrance Day and
helps with the Mount Forest Optimists Santa Claus Parade. Matthew encourages first year cadets and pairs with younger cadets to assist them with fundraising. In 2015, Matthew volunteered with his squadron to stand vigil at the Mount Forest cenotaph during Remembrance Day services. To prepare for this hour-long event he attended extra practice every Monday night for 90 minutes over a one month period and two Sunday afternoons for two hours each. As standing still does not come easy for Matthew, his peers and family were surprised when he volunteered for this role serving the community. “It was nice to honour the soldiers who died in the war, at the cenotaph and I also went to a local nursing home and stood at another service. The school work I missed had to be completed at home but it was worth it,” Matthew said. Cadet instructor Cynthia
Comeau supported Matthew’s nomination, stating, “Matthew is a very dedicated cadet. He puts forth a great effort in everything he does. He recently volunteered to stand vigil at the cenotaph. “This requires cadets to learn different maneuvers with rifles while standing very still the rest of the time. Matthew worked very hard at learning and doing his very best at standing still.” Outside school and cadets, Matthew volunteers at Drayton Christian Reformed Church in the nursery, Sunday School and is learning to operate the sound board, allowing him to volunteer in that role also. “I play golf whenever I get a chance and hope to get my pilot’s license through the cadet program. I don’t want to fly large passenger planes but would like to fly for fun. Cadets has taught me how planes fly, (how) airports function, leadership skills and vol-
unteering in the community, “ Matthew said. The Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award process is a public service organized by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association. Nominees between the ages of six and 17 are recognized for: - performing worthwhile community service; - contributing to their communities while living with limitations; - acts of heroism; or - being good kids who are making life better for others and doing more than expected of someone their age. A committee comprised of community newspaper publishers, editors and sponsors select the award recipients from nominations submitted. Awards will be presented to at least 12 junior citizens at a ceremony attended by recipients and their families in Toronto in March. Winners were announced in January.

A win for municipalities For years now municipal governments have been lobbying for “predictable, stable” funding to allow them to plan for building and repair of roads, bridges and other infrastructure. In its Feb. 25 budget, the province announced the expansion of the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) and the Connecting Links program. The province will triple OCIF funding from $100 million to $300 million per year by 2018-19, with $200 million in predictable, formula-based funding and $100 million in applicationbased funding to be made available. Connecting Links will provide $20 million in 2016-17, up from $15 million announced in the 2015 budget, to help municipalities with construction and repair costs for municipal roads that connect provincial highways through a community. Funding for this program will increase to $30 million per year by 2018-19. At the Feb. 25 Wellington County council meeting, Warden George Bridge said the announcement was a sign the province is starting to listen to municipalities. “It’s important they be thanked when they do good things and this is a very positive thing,” added Guelph-Eramosa Mayor Chris White, who suggested the county send a letter to provincial officials, commending them for the move. It’s not often we hear municipal politicians roundly endorsing measures that originate from Queen’s Park, so it’s worth noting when it happens. The money for municipalities was found despite deficit forecasts that were rising even before any new spending included in the upcoming budget was announced, so it’s clear the province considered the municipal needs urgent. That’s a good sign for taxpayers, given property tax is generally considered more regressive than income tax as it puts a heavier burden on people with low incomes and causes divisions between varying classes of property owners. Some things just belong on the broader provincial tax base, and that clearly includes key elements of a provincial transportation network. Now it’s up to our local councils to make good use of a their suddenly-more-stable revenue streams. Patrick Raftis
Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: I would respectfully make the following comments after reading the Community News article Council splits difference on shortfall with Drayton Skatepark Committee (Feb. 19). In the article two locations are suggested, namely, the “old arena property or PMD arena parking lot.” Research indicates that what creates a successful skateboard park within any community is location, location, location. For example, Elmira, last year, created a wonderful skate park adjacent to a busy road, First Street East near Arthur Street South. This specific location was chosen for the following reasons: the site had to be close to
public transit, close to the local police station and public so that “no one could hide.” The people who initiated this project did not want to create a hiding place for potential drug use. There is absolutely no doubt, in my mind, the majority of local residents, myself included, would like to see a skate park become a reality. However, let us collectively be smart about this and choose a location, like the PMD arena that offers much more transparency and openness instead of the old arena that offers isolation. In conclusion, let us be proactive by selecting a site that is visible, transparent and safe for all to enjoy this type of facility. Andy Knetsch, Drayton

MAPLETON MUSINGS Column courtesy of Mapleton Historical Society
Memories of Glen Allan People often ask for articles about Glen Allan. When I found Memories of Glen Allan, written by Dr. George O. McMillan in about 1964, in the Mapleton Historical Society’s archives, it seemed the perfect opportunity to share those memories. McMillan was the second youngest of 13 children, born on July 5, 1880, on the family farm at Lot 8, Concession 1 in Peel Township. His parents were David and Mary Ann (nee Weir) McMillan. His early education was at Glen Allan School and later Harriston High School. He became a school teacher. After teaching in public and high schools he became a master at Hamilton Normal School in 1915. He was appointed principal at the school in 1929, a position he held until his retirement in 1949. He shared his memories with his nephew Leslie Biggs when Biggs and his wife lived in Glen Allan. The following are his boyhood memories of the Glen Allan industries. “Probably the remains of the old dam and mill race can be seen today. The dam was a short distance above the mill
and the race came down the south side of the river as an open ditch as far as the bridge. “I don’t remember the dam but Sinclair Mellis told me he frequently went swimming there, probably in the early (1880s). “When the land was cleared up river the spring floods increased and washed out nearly all traces of the dam. In the eighties and early nineties 25 to 30 percent of the land above the valley was in bush and logs were plentiful. Our logs were hauled down a valley on the Henderson farm or through Bob McDowell’s farm to the river and over the ice to the mill. No hills to climb and few drifts. “The mill was operated on wood-generated steam. Nearly all, if not all, the buildings about Glen Allan were built wholly or in part of lumber sawed there. In spring, logs were piled high for the length of a village block. By 1880 the best of the pine was spent and rougher varieties of logs, such as hemlock, came into use. Many of the older buildings still show traces of wide clear pine. The original buildings were log but probably the last such building is gone. Two
log houses stood at the foot of the hill far into the present century. The scarcity of log houses indicates that the saw mill was in operation early in the history of the village. Not only in the village but for miles around it the original rude huts were replaced with frame dwellings. The more durable log houses persisted until brick came into use. “I don’t know when the brick yard at Wallenstein was established. It was turning out white brick and tile in vast quantities in my earliest school days. Nor do I know of another brick yard that might have supplied Glen Allan. The red brick for our house on the home farm was hauled from Monkton, 15 miles south of Listowel in the winter of 1899. The house was built in 1900. Anthony Newton’s house was built of Wallenstein brick in the middle nineties and the house on your first farm before 1880, probably one of the earliest built of such in the district. “Stone masonry was an early trade. George Porter’s father, Philip Porter, was the mason of my earliest days. In 1891 he and two other masons built the stone walls for my brother Jack’s farm in three
weeks for $60, charging $1 per day, having bed, breakfast and supper in Glen Allan and dinner with us. Lime was burned on the farm from limestone collected in the fields. Remains of a lime kiln may be seen today near the river on Tom McDowell’s old farm. It had ceased operation before my day, probably because the supply of stone was exhausted. “I remember little of the brick masons. Chris Tabbert’s brother learned the trade in Berlin (Kitchener) but didn’t work much at it. He built a brick house for his parents beside your former farm. “Jim Cookman was the carpenter of the village during my early days and was still doing odd jobs in of the noughts of the present century, but his interest then turned to fishing. He too was and expert workman “Alex Runstedler was the earliest harness maker I knew. His cousin, in the (1880s) and (1890s), had a blacksmith shop about half a block west of the Robinson store. My brother Alex learned the trade with him. “At the same time Charlie Ward’s father had his blacksmith shop across the street Tykes on ice - The Drayton Tyke hockey team helped out at the Mapleton firefighters’ fundraising sledge hockey game on Feb. 27 at the PMD area. The tykes put on a scrimmage to entertain the fans during intermission at the game between Mapleton and Minto fire departments. Minto won the game 4-0, but the real winners are Camp Bucko and local sledge hockey initiatives, which will share the $1,900 raised.

from where you live. In a large frame building immediately north of it he built wagons and sleighs in small numbers. I remember an old frame building immediately east of the bridge and beside the river in which George Vernon in the (1850s) and (1860s) made carriages, wagons, cutters etc. He was an Englishman who was banished to Australia where worked on a carriage wheel for some months while a prisoner. “He worked on it only when a supervisor was in the room. When asked when he would finish the wheel he said, not while in prison. When freed he came to Canada. “In 1890 a Mr. Minkey had a shoe shop in Jim Cookman’s shop at the corner of his lot. He lived in an old frame house across the street from the shop.

Kell Mellis’ oldest brother, I believe, was a tinsmith who followed the trade in Chicago and came back to Glen Allan to continue the work about 1890. His father was the widely known auctioneer, a very successful one too. “In 1890-91 Oliver Weir, who was born on your first farm, had a tailor shop and telegraph office in his house west of the Robertson store. Early in the spring of 1891 I was sent to him with a telegram for Clifford. When half way home I wondered whether a telegraph would travel fast enough to get to Clifford by that time. “In my school days telegraph wires followed many roads. On highway 86 a line of poles carried three wires, probably from Listowel to Elmira.” submitted by Jean Campbell

By Dave Tiessen, Pastor, Bethel Mennonite Church (Elora)
Holy living and holy dying In December, our beloved 9½-year-old golden retriever, Muskoka, got sick. We took her to the vet, got her special dog food, and gave her various heavy-duty meds. But on the morning of Dec. 29, she was obviously in severe agony. The vet said that she probably wasn’t strong enough to endure any further treatments, which were probably futile anyway because it was likely further tests would show an untreatable tumour in her gut. So, we made the decision to end her life. Gathered as a family around her, with tears flowing, we gently hugged her a last time. Each of us tenderly laid our hands on her as the vet injected the serum and within a
minute she was gone. Because Muskoka was so obviously sick and in agony we knew it was the right thing to do but it was incredibly, gut-wrenchingly difficult. She was “just” a dog but way more than that. Muskoka was a very important life in the life of our family. We did not humanize her as some people do, treating their dogs like kids. But, she was a beloved life presence that contributed greatly to our family life, and we miss her dearly. It was a fearsome and awesome thing to live through facing and carrying out the decision to end such a beloved life. This is the second time we have had to end the life of an ill family dog, and I’m glad that there are humane options for doing so in painless and dignified ways. But it certainly did feel like we were in a sense “playing God” by deciding to have her put down. It would
have been a lot easier if she had died on her own. Canadians are now on the cusp of being able to do the same when it comes to human life. The Supreme Court has declared that it is inhumane to deprive severely suffering people of the option of ending their lives. They have ordered the government to enact legislation to allow such. It certainly raises the question of who gave the un-elected Supreme Court the authority to take the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and choose to interpret it in such a way - literally forcing legislators to change the law to their liking, even though the Charter mentions nothing about assisted suicide. A lot of Canadians are gung-ho for this. People often think of it in simple terms of wanting to have an out in case they or their loved ones ever get to the point of extreme illness or pain. They say that it is
about dying with dignity and that extreme suffering obliterates such dignity. Some say that we treat our dogs and cats better than each other because we are willing to put them out of their misery when it becomes unbearable. I think the direction we are headed in is a sad and very dangerous one. Human life is different from other animal life. Three years ago my 95-year-old mother-in-law fell and was horribly, painfully injured, including a broken neck. Medical intervention for the injuries was pointless, so we asked that they simply keep her pain to a minimum. Our family rallied together to make sure that there was always someone beside her. For almost a week we kept watch by her side. It was excruciating to see her physical suffering and decline, but it was incredibly holy to be
present at the intersection of life and death. To witness the power of her life resisting the onslaught of death, to be able to express our deepest love and gratitude to her, and to give her permission to let go and go home to her beloved Father was an incredible experience. With the coming legislation, we as a family would likely have been able to put mom out of her misery, but I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t have. Our family certainly prayed for God to come and take her home and put her out of her misery. To have taken upon ourselves that incredible, awesome power over the life and death of our mother, and to have not only surrendered to the power of death but to have aided and abetted it, was not something we were prepared to do. Moreover, the time of mom’s suffering and dying was not a meaningless waste
of time. I don’t think there is a more holy or poignant place on Earth or in life than the bedside of a loved one who is dying. It is a place where we have the opportunity to experience most profoundly, in our gut and bones and spirit, the deepest wonderings and truths of human existence. Is it only the “good times” that give our lives meaning and purpose? Or is it actually the places of suffering and sorrow that provide us with some of life’s richest treasures? Robert Browning Hamilton captures this truth in a simple poem: I walked a mile with Pleasure; She chatted all the way; But left me none the wiser For all she had to say. I walked a mile with Sorrow; And ne’er a word said she; But, oh! The things I learned from her, When Sorrow walked with me.”
Organizational work now underway for Vacation Bible School in Drayton DRAYTON - This summer, local churches have once again combined their efforts to organize Vacation Bible School. This year’s theme is: Cave
Quest VBS: Following Jesus, the Light of the World! Vacation Bible School will run from July 11 to 15 at the Drayton Reformed Church (74
Wellington Street). It is offered to all children in the community, from those who have completed JK to those who have completed Grade 5. “Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a great way to feel a part of your community, meet other kids, and learn about Jesus,” organizers state. At Cave Quest, youngsters explore what it means to follow Jesus through dark times. They participate in memorable Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamworkbuilding games, make and dig into yummy treats, experience one-of-a-kind Bible adventures, and make a cool craft to take home. Plus, participants
will learn to look for evidence of God all around them. Each day concludes with a “Cave Quest Closing” that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned. Family members and friends are encouraged to join in daily for this special time at 11:10am. VBS is offered free through the generosity of the local churches. “This is a wonderful example of how the community of Drayton can work together for the benefit of our children. Kids at Cave Quest VBS will join a mission effort which touches very close to all of us right now,” organizers state. “We will be providing support for the Syrian refugees in
Wellington County. We will be collecting items for local families settling in the area - i.e. school supplies, clothing, etc.” On the last day of VBS (July 15) at 10:45am organizers invite the community to come to the church for the VBS closing program. Local residents can join the adventure by registering their children to be a part of Cave Quest VBS: Following Jesus, the Light of the World or by helping out with the program. “This ministry cannot run without lots of wonderful volunteers. Think about helping for a day or two or, even better, the whole week,” organizers urge.
Anyone not able to volunteer but wanting to help can donate a gift card or stamps from the Drayton Food Market which helps buy snacks for the week. They can be given to Tracy Kabbes, local church representatives or dropped off at the Drayton Reformed Church office. To register or volunteer go to www.groupvbspro.com/ vbs/ez/draytonvbs (note: this counts for volunteer high school hours). VBS is run by all local churches together, so contact any of the church’s VBS representatives with questions or Tracy Kabbes at kabbespatch@ hotmail.com or 519-638-3349.

Mapleton farmer to be inducted into Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame by Olivia Rutt ALMA - Deborah Whale did not grow up on a farm, but after marrying a farmer and getting her foot into agriculture, she has offered much to the industry. Whale was nominated by the Poultry Industry Council as a 2016 inductee to the Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame for her contributions in the fields of on-farm biosecurity and infectious disease control. “I think that the whole issue of on-farm biosecurity became very important as we realized how easy it was for livestock and poultry diseases to spread from one farm to another,” Whale said in an interview with the Community News. “At the Poultry Industry Council, we began a whole program that involved research, training and education, establishment of protocols, in order to look at issues of disease control, disease prevention, and very importantly emergency preparedness.” Whale served as chair for the council from 1996 to 2006 and she also worked in developing a poultry research team at the University of Guelph, lobbied successfully for what became the Animal Health Act and for what became the Chief Veterinarian Office in Ontario. Whale then became a founding director of the Ontario Livestock and Poultry Council, which brought together livestock groups to work on biosecurity initiatives to control disease. The council also developed production insurance for the livestock industry. “If the livestock and poultry industries were to be challenged by external forces, then there would be production insurance in place to replace what had been lost,” she explained. Whale also sat on the Grand River Agricultural Society philanthropic committee, which runs the Grand River Raceway. The committee put “considerable funds” into the development of an equine

biosecurity program with Equine Guelph. Whale said she has “spent countless, countless hours speaking to groups, politicians, interested organizations over the years about a variety of things such as anti-microbial resistance, to work on the reduction and control of antibiotics in livestock and poultry.” Whale has also opened her farm for tours and epidemiology planning exercise in 2010. Whale received an honourary Professional Agrologist Award in 2011 by the Ontario Institute of Agrologists for her work in mentoring and finding mentors for new Canadians looking to work in agriculture. Whale’s father Dr. George Jones, aka “the corn king of Ontario,” was inducted into the same hall of fame in 2006. They are the first father-daughter duo ever to be inducted. “It’s a huge honour and a total surprise, I’m just really … pleased. It’s very nice to be acknowledged for what has been amazing lifetime efforts,” said Whale. In 2014 her farm, Clovermead Farms in Mapleton Township, south of Drayton, received the Dairy Farmers Sustainability Award. In 2000, she gave a TEDx talk in Stouffville about building a future for agriculture in Canada. Whale will be inducted on June 12 at a ceremony at Country Heritage Park in Milton.
