Students learn about inclusion while enjoying sledge hockey

by Caroline Sealey DRAYTON - Drayton Heights Public School staff organized a three-day event, Inclusion - A Lesson through Sledge Hockey, at the PMD arena from March 3 to 5. A total of 156 students from Grades 4 to 8 were bused to and from the arena in 80-minute blocks. Participants spent an hour on the ice each day.

Last year, the school organized a trip to the World Sledge Hockey championships in Toronto. Drayton Heights families packed four buses for the event. Students and parents were impressed by the speed and power of the athletes. With the success of the event, the staff decided to expand the physical education program to include sledge hockey in the 2015 school year curriculum.

Sledge hockey began in Europe in 1966 and by 1982 sledge hockey teams formed in Canada. The first international rules for sledge hockey were drafted from Canadian rules.

Since 1994, sledge hockey has been part of the Paralympic Games and is Canada’s fastest growing winter sport. Men’s sledge hockey is a Paralympic event, but women’s is not.

Sledge hockey is similar to

regular hockey and uses the same rules as the International Ice Hockey Federation. Players sit inches above the ice, strapped inside a bucket type seat, on an aluminum frame.

The frame has two blades attached under the bucket and one under the foot area. Players move across the ice using two hockey sticks that are about one third of the length of a regular hockey stick. One end of the stick is a blade similar to a regular hockey stick. The other end is tipped with a six point pick. Sledge hockey is a full contact sport.

Players are equipped with the same hockey equipment that able-bodied hockey players wear.

Keith and Sandy Metzger of Woolwich Sledge Hockey, instructed students on and off the ice. The Metzgers’ involvement with sledge hockey began with their daughter, Corin, who is now a member of the Canadian Women’s National team.

The Metzger’s coached and managed the national women’s team for a number of years and volunteer in various capacities with the Woolwich group.

parent volunteers to experience the game. Many parents rose to the challenge and spent time on the ice doing drills and helping students who had difficulty keeping their sleds in an upright position. “Not only did the students learn to play sledge hockey, they also learned to understand differences which helps with acceptance and inclusion of students with physical disabilities,� said Andy Speers, a staff member of Drayton Heights.

On day one of the program, titled Get Down to the Basics, students learned about equipment and familiarized themselves with how to sit in a sled, move the sled, injury avoidance and modifications to the game.

Day two involved hockey skills. Participants focused on moving, passing and shooting the puck, along with basic drills.

Let’s Have Some Fun was set aside for day three. Actual games of sledge hockey were played. Drayton Heights staff discussed the events over the past three days with students.

After the third day, the students indicated they loved the program and asked if they could do it again next year.

by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – A roundabout will be installed here this summer at an intersection that has been a scene of many accidents, including two fatalities, in the past decade.

The roundabout will be built at the intersection of Wellington Roads 8 and 12. “The decision ... was based on accident history at an intersection that has sight lines for sufficient distances in all directions. A roundabout will prevent the high-speed collisions that have been occurring in the past,� said construction manager Mark Eby, of the county roads division.

Information from Mapleton Fire Chief Rick Richardson showed there have been more than 20 accidents at the corner in the past 10 years. In 2006, a bus and car collision claimed one life and another fatal two-vehicle accident occurred there in 2012. Fire department records indicated 19 people have been injured at the corner and firefighters were required to use extrication equipment on three different occasions. “It’s a safety issue,� said Mapleton Mayor Neil Driscoll, a member of the county roads committee. “There have been a lot of accidents at that corner.�

The most recent occurred Feb. 28, when a two-vehicle crash injured three people and required extrication by firefighters. Drayton station firefighters responded to the

Roundabout site - Wellington County is planning to install a roundabout at the intersection of Wellington Roads 8 and 12 this summer. photo by Caroline Sealey accident, which occurred just as Mapleton firefighters were preparing to take on Wellington OPP officers in a charity hockey game at the PMD arena.

The $900,000 project was approved by county council in January. The budget includes finalizing the design, tendering, construction, contract administration and inspection during construction. Eby said the tenders are expected to be let soon in order to allow time to obtain roads committee and council approval by the end of May. The roundabout will be a single-lane design, similar to two constructed in Puslinch

Township on Wellington Road 34 in the summer of 2013. “Agricultural equipment movement through the roundabout has been considered through the design process,�

Eby noted.

Construction is expected to start at the beginning of July at the latest, said Eby, and completion is anticipated sometime in August, before school starts.

Traffic will be maintained in all directions, but will be only one lane during working hours, with a full closure of the intersection required to allow the surface asphalt to be paved unobstructed.

Paul Day recognized for forestry efforts ALLISTON - Mapleton resident Paul Day received the Robert de Pencier award (formerly Forest Stewardship award) for outstanding activities in private land forest management and strong support for forestry promotion, education and understanding at the annual Forests Ontario conference in Alliston on Feb. 20.

Day is a retired faculty member of the Conestoga College School of Business.

He is a dedicated land steward who lives with his wife, Yvonne, on their 250-acre farm near Goldstone in former Peel township. The farm has been in his family for over 150 years, since his ancestors cut it out of the Queen’s Bush starting in 1845. As a founding member of the Peel Historical Society, Day has done much to preserve the history of that former township.

Drayton ties final series with 4-2 victory

DRAYTON 4 FLORADALE 2 Drayton sprang into this game with a goal midway through the first. Robyn Curry passed to Eric Deckers, who fed Jason Mohle for the score.

Floradale tied it less than a minute later when Brendan Jefferson and Dan Martin set up Ryan Martin.

Drayton took the lead on a power play as Herman Mulder and Mark Timmerman worked the puck to Chad Reinders who blasted one in from the point.

Drayton padded its lead early in the second with a shorthanded goal by Pat Landman.

Floradale edged back into the game later in the period.

Brandon Martin won a face-off in the Drayton end to send the puck to Ryan Weber at the blue

line. Weber rifled a slap shot into top corner past the blocker.

Drayton responded with a power play goal to regain the two point spread. A scramble at the net ended with Herman Mulder tipping the puck past a scrambling goaltender, assisted

by Landman and Timmerman.

Although Floradale skated hard to try and stay in the game, the third period remained scoreless giving Drayton the win to tie the best-of-five Nichols Finals 1-1.

MISSIONARY 4 COMMUNITY 3 Missionary scored in the opening minutes when Nathan Rhame fired a quick shot under the crossbar, assisted

by Dave Scholten and Matt Burnett. Missionary added a short-handed tally when Scott

Trades & Services

Vandepas beat the net minder on the glove side.

Community came back in the second as Joe Clemmer snapped in a wrist shot, assisted by Ryan (Ryco) Martin and Cal Martin.

Missionary scored off a face-off near the Community net, as Dave Scholten tipped the puck in, asssisted by Rich Colwill and Brady Franklin.

Missionary scored again as Vandepas fired in a back-hander, assisted by Curtis Bults and Nathan Rhame.

Community came back in the third. Ryan Martin set up Colin Snyder, who blasted a slap shot past the net minder.

Community edged within a goal when Terry Horst and Kevin Gingrich set up Clemmer, who slipped it in the open corner.

Missionary held back a late Community charge to claim game one of the best-of-three Stelco finals.

The juniors travelled to Owen Sound following the senior tourney to compete at CWOSSA. The team defeated the hosts and Simcoe but fell to Lourdes in the last game of pool play. The 2-1 record was enough to qualify for the playoffs.

PALMERSTON - After going undefeated in league play the Norwell Senior Girls volleyball team defeated Westside from Orangeville in straight sets.

The senior team completed its season Feb. 23 at the Central Western Ontario Secondary Schools Association meet in Owen Sound. In round robin pool play Norwell defeated Owen Sound’s Westhill and Delhi but then dropped a game to Lourdes, the Guelph city finalist. That put Norwell second in its pool and they crossed over against hosts and Bluewater Champions Owen Sound CVI. Norwell won the first set, lost the second by two, and won the third set to get to the final against Southwood, of Cambridge. With a trip to Ontario finals in Dryden on the line Norwell lost the first set 25-18 but came out stronger in both the second and third, losing both by two points. That

Early farm life photos spark discussion

by Caroline Sealey GOLDSTONE - On a rare Monday afternoon meeting of the Mapleton Historical Society, Kyle Smith, program assistant with the Wellington County Museum and Archives, shared photos of early farm life in Mapleton Township.

Floyd Shieck opened the March 2 meeting, with a reading on Attitudes by Charles Swindoll. He then introduced the guest speaker, Smith, who gave a brief outline of his presentation and asked the audience to contribute any knowledge they had about life on the farm in the late 1800s to early 1900s.

The first settlers in the township were free slaves from the south arriving in 1820.

They settled in the Queen’s Bush area around Glen Allan and were considered squatters. Few were able to purchase the land they settled due to a lack of financial resources.

European settlers followed shortly behind and purchased the available lands the free slaves had settled.

Clearing the land was a daunting task. Smith showed a photo of four women standing inside a stump. Most stumps were six feet across. Besides clearing large trees, settlers also had to clear scrub brush and secondary trees from forest regrowth.

By the 1860s, anyone living in a log cabin was considered to be living in poverty. The more prosperous residents built frame houses or covered their log houses with clapboard. A chicken coop was an essential part of the farm, along with a sugar shack. Maple sugar, not

maple syrup, was a family’s source of sugar.

A photo of the Edwards brothers from 1920 depicted a long line outside a very large outhouse. Jean Campbell stated the outhouse was located at Moorefield ball park. The Edwards brothers were a mischievous bunch who were known to pose for unusual photos throughout the township.

Frame barns were always built before frame houses.

The stone, lower level of bank barns were cool in the summer and warm in the winter. A hill leading to the second level allowed easier access by equipment. The first fences were made of stumps lined up in a row. Stumps rotted easily and were replaced by rail fences.

Other photos shown

by Smith included the Glen Allan Hardware in 1902, an early fieldstone house located outside of Stirton, the 1894

Drayton market and the first reaper, from the 1890s.

Of interest to the audience was a 1925 Rothsay Public School photo. The picture of the school, located on County Road 10, showed a hilly gravel road leading to the building.

Students walking to school had to go up hill going to and returning home from school.

The school has since been converted to a residence.

A discussion followed the showing of the original farmhouse located in the trailer park near Drayton Heights Public School. The house was a combination of fieldstone, brick and wood. The original being fieldstone, with additions on the rear of the building made of brick and a wooden porch added onto the front.

Technology and the introduction of mass production of products changed the rural countryside in the 1940s.

Previously, a farmer made use of the resources he had on the farm and built his own pens out of wood. With mass production a farmer was able to purchase steel pens for the barn. That type was cleaner and made chore time easier.

Land had to be cleared and houses removed during the construction of Conestogo Lake.

Houses were jacked up and hauled to another location, using the same methods in use today. The audience told Smith that the army used the area of the future lake for dynamite training during the clean-up process.

Smith’s talk ended with a discussion on agriculture-related articles that he brought from the museum. Items included a garlic press, apple peeler, nutmeg grater, peanut butter pail, cow bell, potato ricer and chicken feeder.

EDITORIAL Roundabouts

Wellington County’s decision to install a roundabout at the intersection of Wellington Roads 8 and 12 appears to be a solid one. We hope a new configuration will reduce risks at a corner that has been the site of 20 accidents, involving 19 injuries and two deaths over the past 10 years. The intersection in question, while providing clear sight lines, seems to be one that motorists often approach at too great a speed, resulting in collisions.

“A roundabout will prevent the high-speed collisions that have been occurring in the past,” stated Wellington County roads division construction manager Mark Eby. Roundabouts are still relatively new and sometimes controversial in this area, but all reports indicate they do accomplish their goal of slowing down traffic wherever they are installed. As such, a roundabout in this location appears an obvious solution.

Located as it is in a rural area, is unlikely to cause the concern for pedestrian safety that has been generated among Wellington North residents over a roundabout plan for a county road in Arthur. Even in that instance, concerns may yet prove misplaced.

Between 2006 and 2010, the Region of Waterloo recorded two pedestrian collisions at roundabouts. That means on average there is one pedestrian collision every 25 years per roundabout. The Region recorded 86 pedestrian collisions at 200 traffic signals that had similar traffic and pedestrian volumes. That means, on average, there is one pedestrian collision every 11 years per traffic signal. Those figures may be apples and oranges to a certain extent, but they still lend credence to the idea roundabouts are, at worst, no less safe for pedestrians than traditional traffic controls.

Letter to the Editor Country chosen for a reason Dear Editor: The community is beginning discussions regarding culture as well as a cultural mapping process that I applaud. On Feb. 19 Mapleton hosted an evening to lay more foundational ground work for the process. So many fantastic people volunteered their time and ideas. My brain is still a stir with the night’s cultural discussions. The next few paragraphs are residual thoughts from the evening.

Culture is who we are, not necessarily who we want to be.

We in Mapleton are diverse, eclectic in talents and abilities, but more so we have cultivated a place we want to come home to. Rural, quiet, home town friendly, cooperative neighbors, reunions, faith and food can easily describe us.

Yes, we know how to celebrate but our primary celebrations will be around family, birthdays, sporting events, supportive cancer runs, fresh start openings and galas that are supported by our again - friends, relatives, neighbours and faith communities. Our culture is ru-

ral, entrepreneurial, homespun innovation, working for ways that we can sustain the elderly, and grow our youth, with the clean living, work ethics that have been modeled before us.

Creativity is not stifled here, but rather seen in a rural context, as a building block tool for growth of personhood and stretching our minds and souls.

Our arena, ball parks, and soccer pits are hopping places for good reason. We like healthy competition and the conversation that takes place in the stands.

Ideas percolate from these encounters - writer’s groups start, support for hurting families rally, fundraisers blossom, volunteers are applauded, networking connections gel, friendships strengthen, and family ties deepen ...

In Mapleton we enjoy being rural and small town - those who farm live the life style of agriculture, those who live beside them appreciate and value what their neighbours do. We choose “country” for a reason; it is our culture.

Safety Week

March 15-21

Home and farm safety event held at Alma Community Centre

by Caroline Sealey ALMA - Display booths lined the walls of the Alma Community Centre during the Wellington County Farm and Home Safety Day and pancake breakfast. The Wellington County Farm and Home Safety Association sponsored the oneday event on Feb. 28.

The day focused on safety issues surrounding children.

They received a passport to be checked off at each booth.

After filling the passport, each child received a goody bag containing information on farm and home safety. A ballot for door prizes was filled out by all children in attendance.

Hazard Hamlet, sponsored

by North Waterloo Hydro, was one of the most popular booths.

Larry Mullin, of North Waterloo Hydro, explained different aspects of farm and home safety.

Audience participation was key to his success during the day. Hazard Hamlet contained scenes including kite flying, tree trimming, cat rescue, proper use of toasters and many more farm and home electrical hazards. With the flick of a switch, Mullinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electrical conductor, shone brightly in each hazardous scene.

Mullin also talked about different types of wire and cable, their voltage capacity and where each type could be found. Rubber gloves worn by hydro workers were available to try on. The thinnest gloves could withstand 10,000 volts of electrical power. The medium glove 17,000 volts and the thickest glove, 36,000.

Mullin talked about the dangers of entering a hydro transformer station. The theft of copper wire each year, which results in the electrocution deaths of some criminals, is a large problem.

Centre Wellington councillor and Wellington County Farm Safety Association member Steve Kitras demonstrated machine guarding safety. Kitras placed three toy children in a toy gravity wagon filled with materials and opened the chute on the wagon. The toys were instantly buried and suffocated. He reminded children never to go into a wagon, and of the safety concerns working around loaded wagons.

Arnie Van Ankum, Farm and Home Safety Association member, showed children and adults, the dangers of power take-off shafts. Within seconds a piece of material was drawn into and wrapped around the shaft. Van Ankum asked visitors to think about the consequences of an arm or leg being trapped. He went on to talk about farm equipment safety.

Videos on horse and buggy safety on highways were aired during the day. Emergency preparedness kits were available for viewing. St. John Ambulance demonstrated baby, child and adult CPR and the use of

defibrillators. The confined space rescue booth attracted interested participants.

Chemical safety awareness and CrimeStoppers groups also set up displays.

Due to the extreme cold, outside demonstrations of snowmobile and snowblower safety were cancelled. OPP officers and snowblower safety instructors were available for question and answer periods.

A free pancake breakfast with local maple syrup was served. Farm and Home Safety Association members were kept busy flipping pancakes, serving coffee and clearing tables.

Past president Laura Ferrier, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153; We had a very successful day. Our Farm and Home Safety Association wanted to connect with children, individuals and families that we normally wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Hopefully, the generation being taught about farm and home safety today will be future leaders in the industry.â&#x20AC;?

Safety Week

By Laurie Langdon

March 15-21 Eternal life now as it is in Heaven “Our Father who is in Heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven?” (Mat. 6:9, 10) I have previously established that the Bible teaches the following: • While there remains a future state wherein all who have received Jesus Christ as their personal saviour will live, the kingdom of God is now begun and is actually present.

• According to Luke 10:8, 9 and Luke 17: 20, 21, this kingdom is at hand, it is immediate and we are in it.

• Those who have been joined to Christ and have been filled with God’s Holy Spirit have been raised up with Christ and seated “with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” (Eph. 2:6) • In Christ, my governance, the real, true and eternal governance, is held by

Mixing kids and quads creates safety concerns OTTAWA– Does an idyllic childhood in the country have to involve quads?

Most jurisdictions do not restrict children from operating quads or all-terrain vehicles on private land, but many farm families are already making the smart choice to keep their kids off quads until they’re old enough to drive.

March 14 to 20 is National Farm Safety Week. Why not take some time today to review the facts about ATVs and make sure everyone in the family is using them safely?

Concerns about kids, quads Like bicycles, motorcycles and snowmobiles, ATVs are designed to be controlled in part by the rider’s shifting body weight, front and back and side to side. That means that safe operation of an ATV requires a combination of skill, good judgement, physical weight and strength.

While ATVs might seem deceptively stable and easy to operate, before the age of 16, most children and youth are not physically or developmentally ready to ride ATVs safely.

About passengers ATV seats might seem large enough to take on a passenger, but most ATVs are designed for single riders only.

It is not wise to modify an ATV with after-market passenger seats or other implements that will change the weight distribution and stability of the machine, increasing the likelihood of tip-over and rollover accidents.

4 Days Only

MARCH 13-16

Jesus declared to Martha prior to raising Lazarus from the dead, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.

Do you believe this?” (John 11:25,26) And of course we have the famous scripture in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

The fact is this, in Christ I will never die.

But there’s a few ways of looking at this. As a dispensationalist, I understand that when I get to Heaven I will remain alive there forever.

Eternal life is something that awaits me there. Transitionally speaking, though, I also believe that when I experience a natural death here on earth my body passes away but my soul lives on. In other words, I simply transition to a new glorified state. Hence, I really never die, but have everlasting life.

There is yet another truth buried in the above passages, however, which is this: I have eternal life – now.

The evidence of this comes on different levels, each one supernatural, and each one proving that we have eternal life now, on earth just as it is in Heaven.

• Level One: When I cut my finger, as long as I keep the cut clean and bandaged, it will heal itself. When I experienced open heart surgery last year the surgeon patched me up and in five days I was home. Within a few months and with a good diet and some exercise, I was whole again.

• Level Two: Eternal life is powerfully present when I administer God’s love to someone, when I am not offended by insult or injury, when I am completely at rest as I speak life and healing into others or have a strong influence over them, becoming their bridge to eternal life.

• Level Three: When my wife received prayer last year for chronic neck pain, she was miraculously healed, and remains healed. My doctor, while out walking one day, became fed up with enduring pain in his shoulder and, raising his voice to God in prayer, was miraculously healed.

• Level Four: My friend, who was not serving God, had such an encounter with Him that in about three hours he was transformed literally into a brand new man, but don’t take my word for it, ask his wife. And when my life was miraculously altered the day I received Christ as my Savior, eternal life was at work.

These events, and many more, show me that God is present as king in His kingdom on earth, just as He is in Heaven, and He has brought eternal life to us on earth, just as it is in heaven. It is a reality that exists now and a reality that is having an increasingly powerful effect now, and will continue so. Just wait and see.

the person of Jesus Christ and the kingdom to which I now belong, the real, true and eternal kingdom, is ruled by almighty God. And, in previous articles, I have shared some of the conditions that exist as a result of God’s kingdom being on earth as it is in Heaven. I have talked about the glory of God, the blessings we walk in, the comfort we know and the deliverance that is ours because God lives here and has established his rule here.

So, my intention in this article is to discuss yet another condition that exists as a result of God’s rule being extended to earth: eternal life.

God’s word states that in Heaven, “Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years.” (Isa. 65:20) It further states that in Heaven “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Rev. 21:4)
