Drayton Kinsmen Farm Show draws over 2,000 to see latest farm technology

by Caroline Sealey DRAYTON - The Drayton Kinsmen Farm Show was an overwhelming success once again. The 35th annual show, held on March 30 and 31 at the PMD arena, attracted aboveaverage attendance, organizers report. “As this was my first time as show chairperson, I was amazingly surprised at how well

things worked out,” said Carl Bondi. “There were over 2,000 paid admissions. I wouldn’t even be able to guess how many children walked through the door.” Bondi thanked community volunteers, especially the Drayton Minor Hockey Association, which provided food for the event. He also thanked the Township of

Mapleton council for a reduction in the facility rental rate for the event. “It’s not that it’s a farm or trade show, it’s a community show. Proceeds go back into the community to build parks and assist with other community projects,” Bondi said. The show, the largest fundraiser the Kinsmen undertake during the year, also raises

thousands of dollars for the Cystic Fibrosis foundation with half of the $5 admission price going to the cause. Focus on technology New this year was a renewed focus on the latest technology. “The robotic pig pen washer and robotic milk feeder used for calves, kids and lambs, attracted a lot of attention,”

Bondi said. “Even the boat/ trailer combo drew interested people in. A variety of newer implements were on display outside of the arena in the parking lot. We will endeavour to have on display the latest in farm technology as it becomes available in the years to come.” Mapleton Mayor Neil Driscoll, whose Driscoll Farms Ltd. booth is popular for dis-

tributing freshly-popped popcorn, told show organizers that by the end of the two-day event he and his staff were able to hand out 3,300 bags. The company’s goal for next year is 4,000 bags. “We hoped everyone who enjoyed this year’s show will be attending next year,” Bondi said. “Planning for 2017 has already begun.”

County approves rural waste pickup; future of transfer stations uncertain by Patrick Raftis GUELPH - Wellington County council approved expanding waste and recyclable collection to rural households at its March 31 meeting. However, the expanded service comes at a price in the form of higher user fees and uncertainty about the fate of waste transfer stations in the county. In approving the solid waste services committee recommendation to expand the collection, council also endorsed changes to user fees for waste disposal, the first increase since the county took over waste services during the municipal amalgamation process over 15 years ago. As of July 1: - large user pay garbage bags will cost $2, an increase of 25 cents; - small user pay bags will increase to $1.50 from $1; and - bags brought to county waste facilities will cost $2 each to drop off. The county anticipates the user fee changes will offset the additional cost of providing the expanded rural roadside collection service. In advance of the July 1 start date, two large blue boxes will be delivered to each rural

household in the five municipalities which will begin receiving the expanded service. The delivery will occur in late May or early June, and will include an information package to provide details on how to participate in the roadside waste and recycling program. Since 2006, the county has picked up garbage and recycling every other week in rural areas of Guelph-Eramosa and since 2010 in Erin. Neither municipality has a transfer station within its borders. Solid waste services committee chair councillor Don McKay said the move was partially about “levelling the playing field,” however GuelphEramosa Mayor Chris White disputed that perception. “I am having trouble with the idea this is a level playing field,” said White, noting that unless changes are made, several municipalities will have both rural pickup and a waste transfer station. “I don’t know if you’ll ever get to a level playing field and I don’t object to that,” said White. “But this is not a level playing field. Let’s just call it what it is.” McKay pointed out the committee will be considering

the future of the transfer stations over the next eight to 12 months. “Everything is on the table with regard to transfer stations. We can look at keeping them as they are, reducing the hours, maybe expanding the hours … we can look at opening some new ones, maybe close some.”

County engineer Gord Ough said when the county took over collection, “it was not clearly stated that everyone would have a transfer station or necessarily the same service.” “I just want to confirm this isn’t a north versus south issue, because it’s starting to sound like that and I’m

glad you’re correcting that,” Mapleton Mayor Neil Driscoll told White, adding he feels the measure will be beneficial to the whole county. Councillor Gregg Davidson, a solid waste services committee member, pointed out the user-pay bag prices were under review regardless of the move

to rural pickup. “We were going to raise bags to $2.25 but now that this rural collection is in, it’s actually come down,” he said. A resolution to accept the committee minutes, including a resolution to proceed with rural pickup and increased user fees, passed unopposed.

High waters - Waters were running high throughout the area last week, as indicated in this photo, taken on the 12th Line just outside of Drayton on March 31 at around 6pm. Although the Grand River Conservation Authority terminated a flood watch for the watershed on April 4, the authority urged the public to exercise “extreme caution in and around all rivers, streams and water bodies.” Banks adjacent to rivers and creeks are slippery and when combined with cold, fast-moving water, pose a serious hazard, the authority noted. Both water and air temperatures are cold, and anyone going into the water could fall victim to hypothermia within minutes. photo by Caroline Sealey

Ready to travel - The Drayton Girl Guides are getting ready to head to the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto on April 16 for a unique indoor sleepover experience. The centre plans a fun-filled, action-packed night for the girls, covering topics from the insides of the human body all the way to outer space. The girls will get a chance to compete, adapt and strive to survive during several challenges throughout an exciting night of interactive science. Plus, the group will head underwater to explore the world of humpback whales. In order to make this trip possible, the Kinsmen of Drayton have sponsored the event. “This is a great opportunity for the girls to experience a fun and educational program ... We are grateful to the Kinsmen for their generosity. Each girl is looking forward to an unforgettable evening of science fun and activities,” Guide officials state. submitted photo

Chill pills all around The move to county-wide garbage and recycling pick-up is now official. Wellington County council gave final approval to the plan at its March 31 meeting. In approving the solid waste services committee recommendation to expand collection, council also endorsed changes to user fees for waste disposal, the first increase since the county took over waste services during the municipal amalgamation process over 15 years ago. As of July 1, when the expanded service goes into effect: large user-pay garbage bags will cost $2, an increase of 25 cents; small user-pay bags will increase to $1.50 from $1; and bags dropped off at county waste facilities will cost $2. The county anticipates the user fee changes will offset the additional cost of providing expanded rural roadside collection service every other week. However, that assumes the experience doesn’t mirror what has happened with water rates in some local municipalities. Rates for a new metered system resulted in increase for many Minto customers, who responded by cutting usage to the point the system was operating at a substantial deficit before it was a year old. Although a rate review is not completed, indications are Mapleton is dealing with a similar situation. Hopefully residents don’t let the additional cost deter them from using the service and opt to toss garbage by the roadside or switch to burning in a big way, as either would undermine the environmental aims of the program. Environmentally, another question is whether large trucks travelling each rural road in the county twice a month will emit more or less than the individual vehicles residents currently drive to the transfer stations, often, presumably, on the way somewhere else. However, factor in the need for fewer vehicles to haul waste from the stations and it many indeed come out even or better. The fate of existing transfer stations also becomes an open question with roadside pickup set to become a reality. Solid waste services committee chair Don McKay has stated “Everything is on the table with regard to transfer stations.” That means the county will consider everything from the status quo to reduced or expanded hours, closing stations or opening new ones, with the attendant impacts on residents and employees. What the county can’t do, obviously, is simply shut all the stations down. There are too many items acceptable for disposal, that won’t fit neatly into a garbage bag. Residents will continue to need places to take unwanted furniture and other large items including, in some cases, recycling, at locations and during hours that are convenient. It can’t be, as Ward 8 councillor Doug Breen suggested it was, “an either/or proposition.” While not taking a position on the question, Breen said he had been under the understanding a municipality could have either rural pickup or a transfer station, but not both. Guelph-Eramosa Mayor Chris White also took pains to point out the service expansion did not result in a “level playing field.” That all prompted some discussion of whether or not the question of rural pickup was becoming a “north/south” issue. On that point we agree with Mapleton Mayor Neil Driscoll, who commented it was “starting to sound like that.” Perhaps not north/south, but more like the old Smothers Brothers routine “Mom always liked you best.” (Google it if you’re under 45, we don’t have the space to explain.) Fortunately, county engineer Gord Ough illustrated the value of institutional memory by explaining that when the county was asked by municipalities to take over waste collection, “it was not clearly stated that everyone would have a transfer station or necessarily the same service.” He said boundary lines were eliminated within the county for use of transfer stations, which were “strategically placed around the county so it would be easy for everyone to get to one.” Sounds like a plan that could still work today.

Are you a potential fall statistic? by Jena Baker FERGUS - For the past five years, over 500 falls have been reported annually at the emergency room in Groves hospital with a majority of fallers aged 60-plus and with females counting for 300 falls. When a fall occurs, 115 are contributed by slips and trips and 205 result in an upper limb injury and 115 with a lower limb injury. So what can you do to prevent falls? Complete the falls prevention screening tool accompanying this article. (Adapted with permission from the “Stay Independent� brochure from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – National Center for Injury Prevention and Control 2015) Exercise daily to build

strength and improve balance. Wear safe footwear. Have regular eye check-ups. Make your home safer by: - removing clutter and tripping hazards; - adding railings on all stairs and grab bars in the bathroom; and - having good lighting, particularly on stairs. Talk to your health care provider to learn more about your risk. Proactive approach The Safe Communities Falls Prevention Priority Advisory Group (for the Older Adult) have been promoting the falls prevention screening tool to local health care providers to identify individuals at risk. By implementing this falls prevention screening tool, we hope to create a proactive versus

reactive approach to falls and begin a community conversation about falls prevention. Remember, it takes a community to prevent a fall...we all have a role to play! What’s your role?

and build a future that is rich in innovation, collaboration and full of hope.

than 100,000 people around the world who share one vision: to be a leader worth following – at work, at home, and in communities around the world.

School board to honor ‘Everyday Heroes’ GUELPH - The Upper Grand District School Board is looking to recognize people in its school communities who go out of their way to make the board an exceptional place to work and learn. Nominations are now open for the 2016 Everyday Hero Awards. Tireless school volunteers, role model teachers, bus drivers who go the extra mile, crossing guards who save lives – anyone who goes above and beyond what is expected is being sought by the board for honour as an Everyday Hero, school board officials say. Candidates can be an employee, volunteer, individual, or community group active in schools - anyone who has a relationship with the system across Dufferin and Wellington counties and the City of Guelph. Nominations come from peers, students, parents and other system partners. Past recipients include

the champion of one school’s nutrition program, a teacher who worked tirelessly to promote inclusion and accessibility in his school community, and volunteers who worked behind the scenes for decades, never asking for anything in return.

Nominations are open until April 14. The awards ceremony is set for May 25 at the E.L. Fox Auditorium (John F. Ross Collegiate Vocational Institute), at 21 Meyer Drive in Guelph beginning at 7pm. A reception will follow the awards.

PAGE SIX The Community News, Friday, April 8, 2016

By Laurie Langdon

The benefit of forever-ness Things change. Day turns to night, hot turns to cold, the clothes you wore 10 years ago are gone, ice cream melts, flowers grow, wither and die, and your 1974 Pontiac is a pile of rust dust. A decade ago a blackberry was a mere summer fruit, cameras used film and “tweet� was something that birds did. Do you want your car to give you directions to mom’s house in Chinese, or by a French woman named Virginie? There is an app for that. Remember those trips to get film developed? Now even your grand-

mother has a digital camera, and she’s probably emailing you photos right now or uploading them to a photosharing site. Dating has been transformed by internet sites, rendering other ways of meeting people obsolete. Can you believe the social networking site called Facebook was once limited only to Harvard students? Now it’s a time-sucking obsession for millions of users globally. We can’t get lost anymore – or at least it’s pretty hard with GPS systems. And it’s hard to believe that the portable media player was first launched in 2001. Six years later the 100 millionth iPod was sold. Well, you might be encouraged to know that your exis-

tence in heaven will not be temporal. It will last forever. Furthermore, every condition promised to be part of your existence there will also last forever. Not one will be fleeting and not one will wear off or wear out. For God says that he will betroth you to himself forever; “in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion� (Hos. 2:19). He also says that he loves the world so much that “he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life� (John 3:16). My dear friend, the quality of the age to come supersedes all others. There you possess vitality and are preserved and forever vigorous, having abso-

lute fullness of life. You, and all who live there, are real and genuine, actively devoted to God and extremely blessed. Nothing about that place is brief and fleeting; everything is eternal. There God’s life is at work and it is not wearing out. So, does this condition also exist on earth? Absolutely. You see, since you have come into relationship with Christ, you are the temple of God and “the Spirit of God lives in you� (1 Cor. 3:16). If this is so, God’s eternal qualities and eternal conditions are yours to share now, even though you yet wait for the fullness of heaven to be revealed. Eternal life is at hand, it is

a present-day possession. The condition you will live in forever, you also live in now, because God’s spirit lives in you now. And it is not fleeting, nor does it wear off. You currently and essentially walk in the quality of the age to come. Eternal life is present and upto-date. You are experiencing the excellence of God’s life at present as a contemporary possession. Here you are possessed with vitality and preserved and vigorous even in the midst of deep perils. Look at what you have come through so far. Has sickness, failure, disappointment, hardship, job loss, etc. done anything but animate you to greater heights? Have they not increased your strength and

allowed you to live a life of gusto and victory? Of course they have. Just look around you. Here and now you have been able to defeat incredible odds and break through many barriers, because you have absolute fullness of life. Here and now you have been capable of influencing and strengthening so many others, simply because you have been real and genuine. Here and now you are actively devoted to God. Here and now you are extremely blessed. Nothing you do is brief and fleeting, for everything you are and do has had eternal significance. God’s life is at work in you and it is not wearing out!

MP says many local homeowners excluded from energy retrofit program QUEEN’S PARK – PerthWellington MPP Randy Pettapiece feels the government has “deliberately excluded many local homeowners� from its recently announced home audit and energy retrofit program. “Yet again, it looks like the Liberals are leaving rural Ontario out in the cold,� Pettapiece stated in a March 22 press release. “Unless you have natural gas, the program as it was described to us will mean absolutely nothing.� Last month, the govern-

ment announced it was establishing a home audit and energy retrofit program through its Green Investment Fund. While the Liberals have released very few details about the new program, it has been announced that it will only be open to Enbridge Gas and Union Gas customers. “I have received many calls from constituents who are looking for more information about this retrofit program, and want to participate,� said Pettapiece. “It’s unacceptable that

the government will not assist individuals who are looking to improve their home’s energy efficiency unless they are lucky enough to have access to natural gas.� Pettapiece submitted his “Order Paper� question in the legislature March 21, asking the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change to explain why many residents in Perth-Wellington who do not have access to natural gas were left unable to participate in this program. This initiates a process that will compel the government to respond in writing.
