Alma Toy Show - Local youngsters J.P. Kaikaenen, Brodey Bessy, Cole Bessey and Sean McArthur pose with one of the many displays at the Alma Optimist Toy Show on March 16. RIGHT: Vendor Norma Siegner of Georgetown was all smiles with some bears for sale. Organizer John Broadfoot says the success of the show, now in its 23rd year, continues to surprise him. Broadfoot said initially he would have been happy to have the show last five years. “Like anything else, the show is what you make of it ... it doesn’t just happen,� Broadfoot said. He maintains that the Alma Community Centre is perfectly suited for this event and notes the Alma Optimists have offered tremendous support over the years. photos by Mike Robinson
Wellington Warrior Challenge returns to Mapleton on June 21 MAPLETON The Wellington Warrior Challenge will return to the township this spring. On June 21 the Wellington County unit of the Canadian Cancer Society will be hosting its second annual spring Warrior Challenge at Mapleton’s Organic Dairy, located on Wellington Road 7, from 10am to 4pm. “In 2014, there are more cancer survivors than ever able to call themselves warriors in the face of cancer,� organizers state in a press release. “This is in part due to the groundbreaking research funded by the Canadian Cancer Society which would not be possible without the support of caring community partners.� The Wellington Warrior Challenge isn’t an average 5km charity run. Participants must struggle through mud and a variety of obstacles. “From fitness junkie to
couch potato, this mud run is guaranteed to test all fitness levels and leave a grin on every beautiful, muddy face,� organizers state. Participants are encouraged to run and fundraise as a team. Local refreshments are available on site of this familyfriendly venue, “where spectators have almost as fun watching as participants do getting dirty for a fantastic cause.� The inaugural spring Wellington Warrior Challenge on June 1, 2013, also held at Mapleton Organic Dairy, saw more than 200 participants raise a total of $43,535. For the past two years, the society has also held a fall Warrior Challenge at the Cox Creek Cellars property south of Fergus, raising more than $100,000 at the two events. Visit www.cancer.ca/ WellingtonWarriorChallenge to register a team, raise funds as a participant, or donate.
Warrior challenge returns - The second annual spring Wellington Warrior Challenge will be held at Mapleton Organic Dairy on June 2. Last year’s inaugural event raised $43,535 for the Wellington County unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. Community News file photo

Accident involves 18 vehicles ARTHUR - Three people were taken to hospital after an accident involving 18 vehicles on Highway 6, just south of Arthur on March 15. Wellington County OPP say police officers along with Wellington North Fire Services, Mapleton Township Fire Rescue, and Guelph-Wellington EMS responded to the crash on Saturday just after 4pm. Police say blowing snow and gusting winds created very difficult driving conditions along with poor visibility. The three people transported to hospital suffered non-life threatening injuries. The Arthur Community Centre was opened for the other drivers involved in the collision to keep them warm during the police investigation. Highway 6 was closed for over two hours from Wellington Road 109 to Wellington Road 17.

MAPLETON - Safe Communities Mapleton (SCM) is reminding participants in the Vial of Life program to ensure the list of medications in their vials is current. “Now is the time to go to the fridge and make sure the information contained in the vial is still relevant,” SCM officials state in a March 18 press release. The Vial of Life program was launched in Mapleton last
Charitable organization assists special-needs kids, adults
DRAYTON A charity formed by a local couple is helping children and adults with special needs. Heather and Dean Clemmer of Drayton formed the charity Bringing Heaven to Earth in September, 2013. It provides families and caregivers of special-needs children and adults with funding for equipment, therapy and recreational items. “In heaven, not one of us has to worry about disabilities, special needs, disease or equipment. We want to be able to bring a little piece of heaven here to Earth,” Heather said. Heather and Dean’s family includes 11-year-old twins, Troy and Scott, Isabella, 8, and Emma, 3. Troy and Scott were born two and a half months premature. Troy was born with cerebral
palsy (CP). Emma, who was adopted into the Clemmer family in 2013, also has CP. The Clemmer family’s life is faith based. Bringing Heaven To Earth board members include Heather Clemmer as president and Dean Clemmer as treasurer. Terri Ferris contributes her research skills to the charity. The board meets at the Clemmer home. A Facebook page has been created by the board members. The purpose of this page is for people to have a place to post equipment or items related to someone with special needs. Items can be sold or donated to another family in need. The link is www.facebook. com Health and Special Needs Equipment (Ontario). Heather prefers to use the
term special abilities instead of disabilities. If someone has a label, she would prefer it to be more sensitive. “Disability refers to things a person cannot do and they are disadvantaged. The truth is we all have special needs. These special needs or special abilities are just different than mine,” Heather said. Current fundraisers for Bringing Heaven to Earth, include the production and sale of handmade rainbow-loom bracelets. Several members of the Drayton community are donating bracelets to the cause. Board members will be selling bracelets at the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival on April 5. Plans are underway to have a local school participate in a fundraiser that involves a teacher or principal using a
wheelchair for a day. June 2014 is the month set for the major fundraiser of the year. A Wheel-a-thon will allow the community to participate and raise funds for the charity. Other fundraisers include unique ideas with goals to have a place to store equipment that can be distributed to families in need. Those interested in supporting the charity is encouraged to pray, make monetary donations, or purchase handmade rainbow loom bracelets. Donations of rainbow loom rubber bands or already-crafted bracelets are greatly appreciated. Board members are working towards charitable status as funds become available. The charity can be reached at 519-638-5001 or bringingheaventoearthinc@gmail.com.
Mapleton-Minto 81’s take first game of north final over Rocks PALMERSTON - The Mapleton-Minto 81’s outscored the Elora Rocks 7-2 to take the first game of a their WOAA Senior ‘AA’ north division championship on home ice. The series continues with

Township refunds fees for water, sewer services not provided FROM PAGE ONE township staff have completed further investigation and determined that, in fact, there is no water or wastewater servicing inside the building. “Township staff did have an opportunity to speak with the former public works superintendent who confirmed that the township did in fact have the E-1 pump disconnected from the hydro service approximately six to eight months after it was installed,” the report states. Sinnamon explained that when water and wastewater services were installed in Moorefield in 2005, the property owner paid the full frontage charge and E-1 pump costs. Vacant properties were only required to pay the frontage charge. An E-1 pump was installed at that time. In 2007 the E-1 pump was replaced, as the result of water backflow into the property owner’s residential basement, which is adjacent to the garage. “I can confirm that council approved a payment in the amount of $4,558 to compensate Mr. Ralston for damage and loss of furniture in his basement,” Sinnamon stated, adding public works staff confirmed that the E-1 pump was replaced in 2007 for the garage property. However, she said, there are no records to indicate the pump was subsequently disconnected.
Council approved a recommendation to pay $5,786 in sewer and water charges dating back to 2007 to Ralston. Council also approved a recommendation that the E-1 pump be removed from the property and placed back in the township’s inventory. “Should the property owner decide to service the building with water and wastewater servicing at a later date, the cost to do so would be at his expense, including any hook-up fees,” the report states.

fall by SCM and committee chair Wilma Mol says maintenance is the key to the success of the program. Vials should be checked every spring and fall, at a minimum, or any time there has been a change in medications. The Vial of Life assists first responders, in an emergency situation, where a patient is nonresponsive, to determine what, if any, medications the patient is taking. First responders can then
ascertain whether medications are complicating a diagnosis and possibly save a life, SCM officials explain. Anyone taking ongoing medications should have a vial, regardless of their age. They should be filled out and stored on the top right hand shelf of the refrigerator. Vials can be obtained at the Mapleton Township office, the Drayton Health Centre and the Seniors Centre for Excellence.

Election information
With 2014 being a municipal election year, there are no doubt many local residents giving consideration to running for office. During the last elections in 2010, Mapleton was among the most hotly-contested jurisdictions in the county, with three candidates seeking the mayor’s seat and nine vying for four available councillor positions. It’s widely understood that voters need to educate themselves in order to cast an informed ballot, but it should be remembered that candidates can also benefit from an education in municipal affairs. So far, two candidates, both incumbent councillors - Neil Driscoll and Jim Curry - have filed nomination papers to run for mayor this time around, and incumbent county councillor John Green, a veteran Mapleton politician, has filed to run for re-election. While there is plenty of time for those interested in seeking office to file by the Sept. 12 deadline, an opportunity to help potential candidates make an informed decision about throwing their hats into the ring is coming up soon. An information session is planned for local residents interested in running in the 2014 municipal elections. The County of Wellington and its seven lower-tier municipalities are hosting a candidate information workshop called “So You Want to Run for Council?” on April 24 at 7pm in the Aboyne Hall of the Wellington County Museum and Archives. Potential candidates and their spouses or partners, as well as anyone interested in learning more about local government, is encourage to attend. The sessions are free and no registration is required. The speaker for the evening will be Fred Dean, a lawyer who acts exclusively for municipalities and municipal associations across Ontario. Dean has been among the facilitators training members of council on behalf of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario since 2002. Topics are scheduled to include: municipal powers, roles and responsibilities, the public’s role in local government, the difference between governance and administration, municipal conflict of interest and impact on family life. As many have no doubt discovered over the years, there is much more to being a member of municipal council than is commonly understood by the public. The role can be demanding and, especially if a particularly controversial issue erupts during a term of office, can affect not just the politician, but family members as well. The information session would be well worth attending for anyone, but particularly any political neophytes seriously considering standing for election. It’s always best to go into any endeavour with our eyes wide open. Patrick Raftis

By Rev. Calvin Brown, Knox Presbyterian Church, Drayton
Christian comment Ancient wisdom, as well as a part of the ancient story, is often revealed in the seasons of the church calendar. A new church season starts on March 5. It is the season of Lent and it lasts 40 days before Easter. The name for the season comes from the old English word “lengthening.” It has a double significance – one is that we are moving into a period of the natural year when the days are longer and there is more and more light. This time also becomes symbolic of our lives becoming more and more enlightened as we commit to a deeper practice of
prayer and religious acts and so move closer in relationship with God. In older times this was often expressed by strict fasting or renouncing of excesses of food or other pleasures so focus could be on God, but now it more often is focused on committing to positive actions such as giving to help the poor and needy or to acts of self discipline and better living. The story of the Lenten season is the story of Jesus being taken out into the wilderness and being tempted by the devil for 40 days. Jesus had fasted for 40 days when the devil came to him with the first temptation. He was to turn stones into bread. Now there may be no good reason not to do that except that he was

tempted to use for himself the power God had given him to benefit others. The devil even quotes the bible saying: “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” The very nature of God is in question. Jesus’ reply demonstrates that God sent him to be a servant of men and to show them that spiritual values were superior to material values. He answers: “It is written, ‘Man does not live by bread alone.’” As we read elsewhere in the gospel, Jesus says, “Seek first the kingdom of God and what is right and everything else will be given to you.” To allow material things to take precedence over our spiritual life is a grave mistake, Jesus says. “What can a man give in exchange for his soul?” If you neglect your soul your whole being is trashed and you are in the end totally bankrupt as a

yours.” There are things in life we can get, worldly power and influence if we are willing to turn from the ways of right but Jesus reminds us that we have one purpose that leads to fullness of life. “Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.” The third temptation is offered when the devil takes Jesus to the highest point of the temple in Jerusalem and says, “If you are the Son of God throw yourself down from here.” Again he misquotes or misapplies the scriptures and argues, “It is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’” He wants Jesus to prove his spiritual superiority; to show that those who belong to God can act anyway they want and never be harmed in
any way. Jesus replies, “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.” Jesus later warns his followers that like everyone else in this world, we will have trouble as well as blessings. We are tempted to expect God to deliver us from such life experiences, but it is only as we go through these “dangers, toils and snares” that we can experience his amazing grace and mature as authentic adults. Some things we may never understand until heaven, but if we accept them as the trials they are we can know his promise is real, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” They all become trials we overcome and trials that make us stronger. In him we are more than conquerors of any circumstance life may bring. This is the wisdom and story of Lent. Join me in celebrating it.

LOVERS OF THE
Our harsh winter has resulted in local sightings of the large (20-27”), white, snowy owl. Photos have been shared in the media. I was thrilled to see this ‘large snowball’ perched atop a hydro pole the end of February. Snowy owls are day-flyers and are practically never seen in trees. They sit in rural areas on the ground, rooftops, utility poles or other exposed resting places. “Snowies” are circumpolar, inhabiting the arctic in both eastern and western hemispheres. Numbers can be irruptive - fluctuating dramatically. When lemming and vole populations crash in the arctic it appears that large numbers often venture south in search of food. Local status: irregularly very rare to uncommon winter visitor. ID: predominantly white, yellow eyes, black bill and talons, no ear tufts. Rounded head. Feathered to the toes - snowy owls can remain active at cold temperatures that often send other owls to the woods for shelter. Variations in barring and flecking occur between sexes and immature. As they age, plumage becomes lighter in colour - old males are often pure white. Female is larger than male. Feeding: swoops from a perch, often punching through the snow to take mice, voles, grouse, hares, carrion, weasels and rarely, song and water birds. Locally, they are silent during winter visits. Arctic summer breeding season produces croaking and shrill whistles. This information came from: Audubon, Stokes, Petersen and Birds of Ontario field guides. Unusual, irruptive citing reports this winter include a northern shrike in January and in February the snowy owl and a gray jay. Until next month, Susan Warren
human being. That is the first temptation. The second temptation is to surrender our true focus in life, which is God, to seeking personal power. Personal power, for the most part, is at best an illusion. It is the belief that we can be self-made men and determine our own destiny. The truth is that there are spiritual forces at work in all the events of our lives. Both our apparent successes and our failures are but trials that reveal the kind of person we really are. Are we “lenten” people – that is people who are embracing the increasing light offered to us, or are we children of the dark? The devil takes Jesus to a high place and shows him all the kingdoms of the world and says, “I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it is given to me … so if you worship me, it will all be

“Chilina is one of those rare and genuine triple threats in Canadian theatre,” says Alex Mustakas, Artistic Director of Drayton Entertainment. “She’s a performer who can sing, dance, and act at the highest level. We are pleased to welcome her to two of our stages for the 2014 Season.” South Pacific will launch at the Drayton Festival Theatre from May 14 to 31, before transferring to the Huron Country Playhouse in Grand Bend to open the summer season, June 5 to 21. Kennedy’s stage credits include productions most renowned theatre companies. At Stratford she starred in such acclaimed productions as The Grapes of Wrath, Evita, West Side Story, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to The Forum and Kiss Me, Kate. She appeared in Mirvish’s Lord of the Rings; over two years with the U.S. road show of Mamma Mia! (as Sophie Sheridan); two seasons as Anne in Anne of Green Gables at the

CHILINA KENNEDY Charlottetown Festival; and three critically lauded seasons at the Shaw Festival, playing Eileen in Wonderful Town, Lydia in The President and Nellie in Summer and Smoke. Kennedy has won three Broadway World Awards, and is a graduate of Sheridan College and the Birmingham Conservatory in Stratford. The role of Nellie Forbush, the unsophisticated yet spunky navy nurse in South Pacific, offers a profound role for the ingénue. Rodgers and Hammerstein’s world-renowned musical masterpiece has been heralded for its progressive message on race and prejudice – themes that remain relevant 65 years after its Broadway premiere.
