Mapleton Fire Rescue plans alternate route during Drayton bridge closure by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - Moorefield firefighters will become the first responders for non-structure fire calls to a section of the Drayton station response area due to a planned bridge closure this summer. Fire Chief Rick Richardson explained in a March 22 report to council that the Wellington County roads department has advised Mapleton Township of the need to close the Wellington Road 8 bridge in Drayton for construction in this spring. Richardson reports there is no “in town� detour available around the bridge, located beside the Drayton Fire station. The affected area includes Wellington Road 8 from the PMD arena to 8110, all streets west of the bridge including King, Queen, Wortley, Bedell Dr., Ridgeview and Main St. West, impacting 123 residences and the businesses on

Easter event - The second annual Easter Egg Hunt hosted by Mapleton Pre-school at the Drayton Fairgrounds was held on March 26. ABOVE: First time egg hunter Ayla Scholten of Drayton, with help from her mother Katie Scholten, was able to find a few eggs at the event. The hunt area was divided up for three age groups: 0 to 2, 3 to 5 and 6-plus, with 600 eggs in each of the three sections. Over 300 people attended the event, which raised $442. RIGHT: From left: front Nathan, Nicholas and Michael Pfanner; back, Mapleton Preschool teacher Lauren Rumph and volunteer Cathy Johnson. Winner of the “guess how many eggs in the jar� contest was Sawyer Signer. There were 179 in the jar and he guessed 177. Winners of the prizes were: 0-2 age group Cason Ewart; 3-5 age group Jules Basile; 6 and up Michael Pfanner. Organizers thanked sponsors Mornington Communication; Moorefield Transport; and Woods, Clemens, Fletcher and Cronin Professional Corporation.

Industrial Drive. A comparison was prepared using the route from the Drayton fire station to Wellington Street North, to Concession 12, Sideroad 15 and returning on Wellington Road 8 to King Street. A second route was driven leaving Moorefield fire station and continuing on Wellington Road 10 to Wellington Road 8 to King Street in Drayton. The route from Drayton station was 10.1 kilometres long and took 7:02 minutes to complete. The route from Moorefield was six kilometres and was completed in 4:37 minutes. Richardson said the dispatch center in Guelph will be notified to make the necessary changes once the fire department is notified of the specific dates for closure. During the construction period of spring to late summer, the affected area would

get first response for non-structure calls from the Moorefield station. All structure fire events would remain a two-station response with Drayton detouring the route performed in the study. Mayor Neil Driscoll noted the fire response situation was brought up by members of the public at the town’s budget open house in February. “I’m just very glad your department has looked into it so well and have a plan in place to look after it,� Driscoll told Richardson. Councillor Michael Martin asked if ambulance service operators would also be advised of the need for alternate routes. Richardson said Wellington County’s emergency planning department would ensure police and ambulance services are aware of the situation.

Two township employees on Sunshine List by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – Two township employees are on this year’s “Sunshine List� of public sector workers earning over $100,000. It’s the first time since the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act was introduced in 1996 that more than one employee of the township has made the list. According to the list released on March 24 by the

Ministry of Finance, Mapleton CAO Brad McRoberts earned $121,826 and received $854 in taxable benefits in 2015. Director of Finance Yufang Du earned $107,747 plus $857 in taxable benefits. McRoberts was the township’s public works director until November, when he was appointed as the replacement for former CAO Patty Sinnamon, who was terminated by the mu-

nicipality on July 1. Sinnamon was the only Mapleton employee to appear on the 2015 list, with a salary of $128,783 in 2014. Public sector employers are not required to list severance payments under the act, although employees who take their severance as extended salaries appear on the list if they receive $100,000 or more in the calendar year.

Weekend storms cause power outages

by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - Ice and rain storms over a the Easter weekend caused scattered power outages around the township and triggered a flood watch for Drayton. Hydro One reported more than 125,000 customers without power after the March 24 storm. Locally, downed limbs left Moorefield and rural Mapleton residents without power for hours over the week-

end, but the lights stayed on for the most part in Drayton. Due to the hazards still posed by falling tree limbs, the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) closed a number of properties to all visitors until further notice, including Conestogo Lake. With temperatures warming Sunday, melting snow combined with heavy rainfall created the potential for flooding and the GRCA put a flood

watch in effect until March 29. In Minto, CAO Bill White reported roads were sanded and salted prior to the ice storm “so that they were safe for careful travel during the storm. “Power outages were intermittent but relatively shortlived compared to areas south of Minto,� White noted, adding staff fielded many calls Thursday afternoon as trees and limbs started to fall.

Council satisfied with strategic plan; will review industrial land development by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – Council here has no plans to revisit the strategic planning process last conducted in 2013. After a review of the 2013 community-based strategic plan document Township of Mapleton - Building Our Future Together, council agreed on March 22 to accept the document for information purposes. “Is there a process for

tweaking this?� asked councillor Marlene Ottens, noting she saw a few things in the plan that were now done or “could be eliminated.� Mayor Neil Driscoll suggested council could have a special meeting to go through the plan. However CAO Brad McRoberts pointed out making changes to the plan would require public input. “It is a public process. There would have to have pub-

lic meetings,� he explained. “If there’s things in here that are done, that’s okay, they don’t have to be updated.� The CAO continued, “The key thing if there’s something in here you say ‘We don’t want to do that anymore’ or if something is not in here that you do want to do - with strategic plans, a status report is typically what I like to see happen.� The plan review did trigger discussion on development of

additional industrial lands in the township. Councillor Michael Martin noted availability of industrial land was listed as “a strength,� in the 2013 document. “It’s possibly not a strength anymore because I think we have one serviced lot remaining,� said Martin. Driscoll pointed out the township currently has 25 acres of un-serviced industrial land - “currently farmland� - in its

inventory. Councillor Lori Woodham suggested council should determine how it wants to proceed with development of that land. “I do not recall ever reviewing that as a council, this council, whether it would be appropriate for us to be the developer of our outstanding lands,� she said. Councillor Dennis Craven said, “I think we should be giving the private sector the first

chance to develop these lands.� McRoberts suggested a staff report be prepared on the potential for developing additional land. “Could that include an inventory of lands we own?� asked Craven. “That would be a separate report, a little more time-consuming,� said McRoberts, noting an inventory is being developed and will be presented to council in the future.

Take a 100-meal journey - make small changes one meal at a time

share and enjoy every month. by Sarah Pink, PAGEDid EIGHT Community News, 13, time 2010 of year dietiAt this youThe know that you eatFriday, August approximately 100 meals per tians across the country are month? Three meals per day, encouraging everyone to consider some small changes to for 30 days, plus snacks! That means we are making some of those 100 choices you over 100 decisions on what make about food every day. Dietitians of Canada is to buy, prep, cook, eat, save,

sharing a tip for you to work on at home, but to you, our loyal readers, here is a sneak peak so you that can get to planning your 100-meal journey (I know for most of you it is as exciting as planning your next holiday). Week One: Get Ready. As most of you might have figured out by now, changing habits doesn’t simply just happen. Change begins with a very simple first step; setting a goal. If you could do anything, absolutely anything, to improve your eating what would that be? Perhaps you want to cook more food at home, pack a lunch a few days of the week, or try out a new type of food. Really the sky is the limit when

it comes to goals, just pick one that is important and relevant to you. Once you’ve got a goal in mind its time to start planning for that change. Perhaps you need to stock your pantry or fridge with some new ingredients so you are ready to cook or add in a helpful food cue to help you get started. A food cue is something you see to make the healthier choices the easier choice, for example keeping a fruit bowl on the counter or a lunch bag by your shoes or workbag. Week Two: Quality Counts When it comes to food choices, quality counts. Choosing more whole foods like fruits, vegetables, grains,

nuts, seeds, legumes, lean meats/poultry/fish, eggs and low fat dairy products for all your meals and snacks means you are getting the quality nutrition that your body needs. Try blending a smoothie for breakfast (freeze extras in jars and take them with you to go on days you are rushed). Cook extra chicken at dinner for lunch tomorrow, or try using ½ cup to 1 cup of mashed sweet potato (to replace oil or butter) in muffin batter for a veggie and boost. skills confidence at an Week Three: early age” said Ms. Tanis.

Council, Kinsmen agree on rental rate for farm show at PMD arena by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – The municipality and the Drayton Kinsmen Club have reached a compromise on a requested rental rate reduction for the PMD arena complex for the Drayton Kinsmen Farm Show.

Chad Mackay of the Drayton Kinsmen attended the Feb. 9 council meeting to request council cap the fee at $2,600 for use of the facilities for the March 30 and 31 event. In 2015 the Kinsmen also requested, and council agreed to, a reduc-

tion of the fee to $2,600. CAO Brad McRoberts advised council the normal rental cost for the two days would total $4,975. In a staff report at the March 8 meeting, McRoberts recommend the Kinsmen be offered a reduced rate of $3,350, a $1,625

reduction, subject to meeting certain conditions involving reduced hours of access for set up and ensuring Kinsmen provide site security after hours. “The biggest challenges are ensuring that the hours of access are limited such that the

township staff are not unreasonably expending excess time and ensuring that township staff are not providing security on behalf of the farm show,” the report states. McRoberts noted consultations were held with the public

works administrative assistant, arena manager, and Kinsmen Club and all were in agreement with the proposed rate and associated conditions. Council approved the rate reduction and conditions as recommended in the report.

of attorney’s make decisions regarding a person’s health when they are unable due to incapacity. “When choosing an executor look for someone who has patience, wisdom, discretion and is located close by,” Tone said. “It’s easier to have someone as an executor who doesn’t live on the other side of the country when dealing with an estate.” Banks offer executive support staff to assist an executor who is navigating the financial process. The staff are professional, impartial officers. They are available to assist with overseeing of paperwork, allowing the executor to choose how much assistance they require. When an executor is out of the province, a professional is able to take over the work an executor may not be able to complete because of distance. Executive support staff ease the burden of the task and release the individual from liability issues associated with a role of executor. “Get organized, inventory assets and liabilities, and make decisions on how your estate is to be distributed,” Tone said. “In the long run you and your family will benefit.

Estate planning advice offered to congregate diners by Caroline Sealey DRAYTON - Estate planning is a necessary process that can ensure financial security for an individual and their family. Guest speaker Kim Tone, a financial planner with RBC, shared her knowledge and experience on estate planning at the March congregate dinner hosted by the Seniors Centre for Excellence. Employed in financial planning for over 29 years, Tone works out of the RBC branches in Harriston, Clifford, Durham, Ayton, Paisley and Hanover. “Planning goes far beyond having a legal will,” Tone said. “Only 55% of Canadians have a will. Estates should be settled quickly and in an efficient manner. “It’s important for everyone to have planning strategies in place including an up to date will with assigned executor/s, power of attorney and personal care power of attorney documents in place.” Some of the roles of the executor involve the distribution of assets and the filing of final tax returns. Persons appointed to be a power of attorney, assume their role when a person is unable to make decisions due to mental or physical incapacity. Likewise, personal care power

KEEP ROADWAYS CLEAR AND SAFE In accordance with the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, Section 134, the deposition of debris, mud, leaves, or any other debris onto the roadway is an offence under the Highway Traffic Act and can result in fines, penalties, and costs for removal and disposal.

Winning tradition Another exciting season of local hockey action has come to a close and the ice removed from the PMD arena in time for the 2016 Drayton Kinsmen Farm Show this week. Congratulations are due the Drayton Defenders Pee Wee Rep team, which captured the OMHA ‘D’ Championship on March 20 by defeating the Dundalk Storm three straight in the final series by convincing scores of 6-2, 11-3 and 5-1 respectively. The win kept alive a streak of recent playoff success for the minor hockey organization here. It’s been quite a few springs since there hasn’t been either a WOAA or OMHA banner added to the collection at the local rink. The Mapleton-Minto 81’s provided yet another run to the WOAA Senior ‘AA’ final this year and, although ultimately swept by the strong Clinton team in the final, provided fans with plenty of excitement along the way. The success of any sporting endeavour is never measured exclusively in wins and losses, but a winning atmosphere is only sustained through dedication and hard work by everyone from organizers to coaching staff and players. We tip our cap to all involved. Patrick Raftis

Farm Radio Forum brought rural families together by Caroline Sealey DRAYTON - The Farm Radio Forum, which brought farm families together to discuss current events that affected rural Canadians, was the topic of a recent meeting of the Mapleton Historical Society. Jointly sponsored by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, Canadian Association for Adult Education and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the project’s objectives were to present authentic social and economic materials. These materials were then translated to appeal to farm listeners and serve as a link for groups across Canada.

Unfortunately, the guest speaker scheduled for the March 7 historical society was called out of the province on an emergency. Local historian Jean Campbell filled in as speaker at the meeting held at Drayton United Church. “Farmers were encouraged to form study groups called forums. These groups met in each other’s homes, rural schools or church basements,” Campbell said. “The half-hour radio broadcasts, printed background material and suggested questions were used as aids to discussions on social and economic problems. “The topic for the following

week was announced at the end of each program.” Group conclusions were collected centrally and broadcast across Canada. General conclusions were reported as percentages and others were noted and on occasion the individual group was named in the report. Conclusions were then mailed to the appropriate provincial and federal governments. “The program was aired on Monday nights at eight o’clock. I remember being at the forum held in the Cumnock area as a child,” audience member Bert Black said. “The radio crackled a lot and was hard to hear.” Black passed around pictures of the Cumnock group that has only two surviving members, including himself. “My mother Isobel was the secretary of the Wellington County Farm Forum. She would bundle up all the different forum’s conclusions and mail them to the Ontario government,” Black said. He shared a picture of his mother in her home office, bundling up documents in 1947. Other members of the audience commented that a group that originally began as a Farm

Radio Forum is still meeting regularly as a card party group in the Parker area. Grant Schieck’s family attended meetings in the Stirton area. “The radio we listened to ran on a battery that had to be warmed up before the show started. Little ones were put to bed and us younger ones had to be so quiet as the radio was hard to hear. It was a nice way to pass the winter. After the discussions, there were card games and lunch,” Schieck said. Campbell covered the basics of the Farm Radio Forum, including a brief history, government involvement, program features, community action programs that were a spin-off of the program and its popularity in countries around the globe. “From my research, I found that the forum ran from 19411965. I have my opinion on its demise after such a successful run,” she said. “No matter how many discussions were held or how many decisions were made resulting in the improvements to farming, the bottom line is Continued on next page

MAPLETON MUSINGS Column courtesy of Mapleton Historical Society

Exporting to England An article from the Canadian Department of Agriculture, printed in a June 1890 issue of the Advocate, reported that Mr. Dyke, the agent in Liverpool, had shown samples of barley grown in our Western Territories (prairie provinces) to leading grain dealers in England. Those experts had determined that the barley was suitable for malting and that there would be a practically unlimited demand for it. The department stated that farmers both on the prairies and in Ontario had been successful in producing barley for malting for customers in the

United States and urged farmers to look at the marketing opportunity in England. One wonders if and how the farmers responded. The railway systems had been operating for over 20 years, making it a simple matter for a local agent to purchase grains and other farm produce and send it by rail to our neighbours in the south or to eastern ports for shipping to Britain or European countries. Brief news items from the next six years record that indeed there were local agents in Mapleton, and no doubt in all rural areas of the country, doing a brisk export business. L.A. Noecker, based in

Drayton, was one such agent, dealing not only in grain but livestock as well. In 1892 he announced he had purchased 3,087 pounds of dressed hogs since the pork market had opened in Drayton. One would assume this meat would be for the domestic market. However if cured into hams and bacon it could well have been for export. In 1893 papers reported that Noecker had purchased and shipped 12 car loads of barley to the United States; purchased 11,000 bushels of oats and shipped a car load of livestock. Mr. Bellamy and Mr. Dowling each shipped a car

load of cattle. Martin Schneider shipped 10 rail cars of hay to England, and Adam Flath accompanied a car load of horses to Dakota. It seems that by 1894 the shipping of farm produce was not so newsworthy, as very little is mentioned. However it is reported that business was so increased for L. A. Noecker that he had to add more storage capacity to his grain elevators located near the railway station in Drayton. The following year, 1895, saw many horses shipped to England. Each load would be accompanied by at least two men. Sam Schneider, a son of Martin Schneider, accom-

panied three loads of horses to England in April, June and another in August. Thomas Awde and J. Day were on the June trip. Thomas Whale and Martin Schneider made two trips to England with horses that year. That seems a large number of horses given that farm work was done by horse power. However an 1894 report to Peel Council showed 3,099 horses, 7,052 head of cattle, 3,019 hogs, and 5,367 sheep on farms in the township. Agents from Fergus and Elora areas purchased cattle from Mapleton Township as well as the area around those centres. Both butchers’ cattle

and those for export were shipped. Cattle for export were examined by a veterinary surgeon and had to be disease free. In May 1895 a large shipment of export cattle brought four to five cents per pound, while the butchers’ cattle averaged 4.5 cents per pound. By 1896 L.A. Noecker had expanded his markets and shipped oats to Jamaica and peas to South Africa. While there were no reports of barley for malting shipped to England in that brief period, no doubt our enterprising farmers had soon tried to take advantage of this marketing opportunity. submitted by Jean Campbell

Farm Radio Forum recalled FROM PREVIOUS PAGE this: rural folks being the social-loving people we are, always had time for a few rounds of euchre and lunch at the end of each forum,” Campbell said. Campbell will continue her research on the Farm Radio Forum and organizations that formed because of individual groups’ responses to rural issues presented on the weekly broadcast. She will feature her findings in one of her Musings columns published in the Community News.

By Willard Metzger Executive Director Mennonite Church Canada

Responding to events of terror: Belgium, Ankara, Nigeria... This March alone, there have been attacks in eight countries. Brussels is the one currently getting major media attention. I don’t like hatred. It erodes

my sense of well being. It robs me of joy. It ridicules peace. If left unattended, hatred develops enemies. It intentionally misinforms until fellow humans are mutated into monsters. It stigmatizes others and portrays stereotypes as truth. A community governed by hatred will be a place where no one feels safe. It will be a place where laughter is silenced.

I don’t want to live in such a place. Yet such places are silently being developed. Subtle reactions to events like the bombings in Brussels build and accumulate. Safety feels threatened and hatred begins to nest. Anger and revenge is directed at strangers. Soon fear is used as political platforms; and hatred is nurtured. Discrimination is justi-

fied as protection; and hatred is given flight. I yearn for a world where one’s own life and the lives of others are treasured. I long for communities governed by love and empathy, where safety is maintained by a commitment of well being for all. To ensure such communities, each person must work to

cut off that which gives birth to hatred. Violence of any sort must be discouraged, whether that is in schoolyard play or sports arena competition. Stereotypes must be questioned by truth. Friendships must be developed with strangers. And respect for one another must accompany disagreement. Such communities are possible.

Such communities are needed in a world giving into the forces of hate. May we all determine to feed tolerance and understanding. May we be committed to developing new friendships and destroying old feuds and misunderstandings. This is the place we all want to live. So this is the place we should all strive to create.

Enhanced Carnegie library re-opened in Palmerston by Patrick Raftis PALMERSTON - An enhanced and accessible Carnegie library, restored with respect for the building’s rich history, has been re-opened here. After renovations lasting almost a year, the County of Wellington and its library board officially re-opened the

Palmerston library branch on March 11. A press release from the county states community engagement resulted in a mandate to create barrier-free accessibility throughout the building and in particular, to provide an elevator accessing all levels. “While the renovations

return some of the building’s character, they also provide a diverse range of new uses,� states the release. The new design includes a refurbished main floor that continues to house the children’s collection, popular nonfiction and media collections, and public computers. It also contains a new lounge space

The top floor is the new home for the adult collection and dedicated lounge area for young adults. Also included on the top floor, in an area which once housed a 300-seat theatre, is a large study area with a fireplace. The proscenium arch from the upstairs theatre was maintained in the building design and a glass etching in the upper floor depicts how the theatre looked when the seats and stage were still in place. The theatre hasn’t been used since the mid-1980s, although the wooden seats were still in place when renovations began. McCabe commended local politicians for their support of libraries across the county. “County council’s done a wonderful job in supporting libraries It’s a very united county and libraries throughout the system are remarkable,� said McCabe, who added he often hears comments on the quality of local libraries.

They didn’t even bother to contact insurers, municipalities and taxpayers.� Pettapiece continued, “For the minister to claim that there was no support for reform – except from the most important stakeholders on the issue, including over 200 municipalities – is ridiculous.� In February 2014, Pettapiece introduced a private member’s motion calling on the government to reform the joint and several liability model. His motion won statements of support from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), the Insurance Bureau of Canada, insurance brokers, and over 210 municipalities across Ontario. However, at the August 2014 AMO conference, the government announced it would not proceed with changes to the legislation.

Belly dancing demonstrated at Optimist Club meeting ALMA - Alma Optimist Club members were among those participating in a belly dancing display at the club’s monthly dinner meeting on March 15 at the Alma Community Centre. The purpose of the display was to encourage a multicultural movement, bring the community together and encourage young people to attend meetings. Belly dancing began in India and evolved as the movement followed trade

routes to Turkey and Syria. The dancers explained the meaning of each movement to dispel the myths surrounding the art of belly dancing. The group began planning their routine in November 2015 and it took 60 hours to perfect. The three participate in classes at the Seniors Centre in Fergus on Monday from 9 to 10:30am. There are currently 12 people in the class. For more information call Jim deBock at 519-846-5124.
