Attendance up at Drayton Kinsmen Farm Show Verification process by Patrick Raftis DRAYTON – The 33rd annual Drayton Farm Show was a resounding success, with attendance up, even in comparison to last year’s wellattended event. Kinsmen show chair Kevin Van Loo said 2,300 people attended the show at the PMD Arena Complex, a figure that doesn’t include the many children under 12 who attend the show for free. Last year’s show, also held during fine weather but with snow on the ground keeping farmers off the fields, drew about 2,144. “It was a really good show. Everything went very smoothly,” said Van Loo. While noting “the weather really helped,” Van Loo said it’s the wide range and high quality of exhibits that has continued to draw people to the show over the years. “They make the show. If it wasn’t for the exhibitors coming out we wouldn’t have a show,” he said. With $1 from each admission going to support cystic fibrosis research, the turnout means $2,300 will go toward that cause. The balance of the proceeds will be used to support the Kinsmen’s local community betterment projects.

by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – Mapleton council received an update on implementation of local Source Water Protection measures from Wellington County risk management official Kyle Davis at the March 25 meeting. Davis, who works out of Centre Wellington, has been engaged to act as risk management official (RMO) for all seven lower tier municipalities, with the position funded through the county. Appointment of an RMO was a requirement under the provincial Clean Water Act, which came into force in 2013. Source protection plans are required in each watershed, with five such plans applying to Wellington County, Davis explained in his report. The plans have not yet been approved by the Ontario Minister of the Environment (MOE). The Grand River plan is under review and final approval is not expected until mid- to late-2015. The Ausable BayfieldMaitland plan is expected to receive final approval before the end of 2014. Davis noted verification of

an initial list of potential threats to source water supplies is currently underway. Threat verification efforts for Mapleton will involve a combination of desktop analysis, field verification, letters and door-to-door outreach to owners and tenants. While approximately 80 initial threats have been identified to both the Drayton and Moorefield well supplies, Davis said the verification process is expected to greatly reduce that number. In the Town of Minto, he noted, an initial figure of about 300 identified threats was reduced to 30 by the verification process. “Were any of these considerations in place when these wells were put where they are?” wondered councillor Neil Driscoll. “No. Source protection is fairly new. It wasn’t until Walkerton that it was put into place,” said Davis, in reference to the Walkerton water crisis that resulted in seven deaths and thousands made ill from drinking E.coli-contaminated water in May of 2000. The MOE has provided funding through the Source Continued on page 3

FLORADALE 4 DRAYTON 1 Floradale forward Tim Freeman sprang into action recording a first-period hat trick in a span of just over two minutes. In the opening minute of the game, Freeman took a pass from Ryan Martin along the right side face-off circle and wired a shot under the crossbar. Two minutes later Freeman intercepted a clearing attempt, walked in on net and beat Kevin Ottens with a wrist shot. Less than 30 seconds later, Dan Martin and Ryan Martin sent Freeman to the net again. A shot over the shoulder of Ottens gave him the hat trick. The early lead was an important surge for Floradale. They led the best-of-five Finals 2-0, before allowing Drayton back into the series. Drayton came back to win the next two games and tie the series 2-2.

Branding Mapleton - The Township of Mapleton offered residents a chance to provide input on the municipality’s branding process, which is currently underway, during the Drayton Kinsmen Farm Show on April 2 and 3.

Residents provide input on branding by Patrick Raftis DRAYTON – Mapleton residents attending the Drayton Kinsmen Farm Show last week had a chance to provide input on a branding exercise underway in the township. With the assistance of focus groups involving about 20 local residents, a short list of three logos designed by consulting firm Honey Design was chosen. The logos, which feature

the Mapleton name and accompany the tagline “Rooted in Tradition – Growing for the Future,� were presented at the township’s booth at the farm show on April 2 and 3. Residents were asked to vote on the one they preferred. Crystal Ellis, Mapleton’s business development and marketing co-coordinator, said once selected, the final logo may require some fine tuning

to ensure it matches well with township colors to be used on vehicles and other equipment. Ellis said the idea of the branding exercise is to determine, “How can we best position the Township of Mapleton to encourage people to move here and encourage people to grow and expand their businesses and see it as a good prosperous safe community to live in.�

Council gets update on source water plan FROM PAGE ONE Protection Implementation Fund (SPIF), Davis explained. Mapleton is eligible for a $49,739 base grant plus $15,000 in a collaboration incentive for four or more municipalities working together, for a total grant of $64,739. In total, the municipalities within Wellington County are eligible for $483,173 in base grants and a total of $603,173 including the collaboration incentives. Davis said the SPIF grant applications were completed and returned to MOE in December. While the MOE currently requires the funds to be spent by Dec. 7, 2015, Davis said some municipalities feel more time is needed and a request to extend the funding window by a year has been submitted. Because most local municipalities “are not in a position

to identify the projects,� Davis said the funding window extension would be helpful locally. Asked about timelines for having risk management inspectors in place, another requirement under the legislation, Davis said, “We have to wait until we finish the threat verification before we go ahead with that. With the exception of Minto none of the munici-

palities have completed the process.� Davis noted that in Minto it was determined the inspector will be an employee of the building department, while other municipalities might put the position in a different department, such as the water department. Council received the report as information.

Bill threatens democracy

So that’s what they meant by “transparency?” Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government came to power in 2006 promising “a new era of accountability and transparency.” Canadians can be excused for assuming they were referring to plans to open up the lines of communication between the government and citizens, through more open access to information. Silly Canadians. Turns out the Tories were apparently talking about transparent attempts to alter rules governing elections in order to enhance their chances of winning them. The ironically-named Fair Elections Act, has been denounced as a threat to democracy by Canada’s chief electoral officer, its former chief electoral officer, several provincial elections officials, and academic experts both at home and abroad. Newspapers with editorial slants as traditionally conservative as the National Post and The Globe and Mail have also come out strongly against the bill. According to critics, the bill would: - make it difficult for many less affluent voters to cast ballots by ending the vouching system and making identification requirements more stringent; - provide an advantage to established parties with long lists of past donors by allowing parties to exclude from their campaign expenses the cost of raising funds from previous donors; and - give the winning political party in each riding the power to name certain key election officials. A long-time observer of national politics would be hard-pressed to find an article detailing a public outcry call for implementation of any of these measures. However, all analysts independent of the party seem to agree that all three measures would in future ballots aid the Conservatives, who were cited for several violations of the Elections Act last time around (robo-calls, in-and-out scandal). Former auditor general Sheila Fraser, who called the bill an attack on democracy, is no biased partisan critic. She is the same independent watchdog who outed the Chretien-era Liberals on the sponsorship scandal which, ironically, paved the way for the election of Stephen Harper as prime minister. Add her demonstrably-impartial voice to the chorus condemning this proposed legislation and it becomes clear it must be reworked, if not withdrawn altogether. Patrick Raftis

Green Legacy - a simple idea that continues to grow across region MAPLETON - A simple idea that continues to grow. In 2004, 10 years ago, for the 150th anniversary of Wellington County, a simple idea to plant 150,000 trees to celebrate the occasion was implemented. That idea continues to grow each and every year and by 2014 the Green Legacy program will have given out and planted over 1.7 million trees. Imagine what a benefit those trees are to the county, the

township and the environment. Green Legacy has become a household name in the county and once again, on April 26, residents of Mapleton will get a chance to pick up trees to plant on their properties that will leave a legacy for residents now and in the future. Rob Johnson, Green Legacy manager, loves his job and enjoys seeing the pride of both young and old with big smiles on their faces as they take tremendous pride in planting and

looking after the trees. The Green Legacy program operates two nurseries in the county and provides opportunities for students in the county from kindergarten to Grade 8. Kindergarten to Grade 3 students grow the trees from seed in their classrooms, Grade 4 to 6 come to the nursery for the day to help grow the trees and do a curriculum-connected interpretive nature hike, and students in Grade 7 and 8 go tree planting in the county.

The Green Legacy program provides larger trees to municipalities for parks, street trees and other uses free of charge. Green Legacy has been recognized by the United Nations for its efforts to help in the fight against climate change. Green Legacy is a valued partner in the Trees for Mapleton committee along with local conservation authorities, local landowners, Drayton Kinsmen, stewardship council and the Continued on page 6

Mapleton Musings Column courtesy of Mapleton Historical Society First Women MPPs of Ontario Today we have the first female premier of Ontario and many other women representing the constituents of Ontario. It is difficult to imagine, as least for some of us, that it was only 61 years ago, in 1943, that two women became the first female members of the Ontario Parliament. They were Agnes Macphail and Rae Luckock. Macphail had served in Canada’s Parliament from 1921 to 1940 and her story is, perhaps, for another time. Rae Luckock on the other hand, was born in Toronto in 1893 and grew up on the family farm in Mapleton Township on the 16th Line of the for-

mer Peel Township. She was the daughter of J.J. Morrison of United Farmers of Ontario (UFO) fame. However she was not involved in that political movement with her father. Rae Morrison received her only formal education at the local one room school, SS# 18, Peel. She helped her mother and siblings run the family farm while her father was travelling across Ontario organizing the UFO. Rae married Richard Luckock in Arthur in 1914. The couple lived in Toronto where they raised their two sons and a daughter. They retained close ties with the family in Peel, often returning to assist with the farm work.

northern Ontario. After running in the municipal election each year from 1938 to 1943, she was elected a trustee of the Toronto School Board. Her term as a trustee was short lived as she was one of five women nominated to run for the CCF in the 1943 provincial election. She and Agnes Macphail won their seats. Many were not particularly pleased to have women running for parliament and during the 1943 campaign Rae’s family was subject to harassing phone calls, often threatening her life, and she was offered $5,000 to withdraw from the race. Rae served on many standing committees while in parlia-

It seems Rae Luckock was like any other young mother of the time, raising her family, working to supplement the family income, and involved with her church. Their daughter contracted polio and died, in 1932, at the age of 12. The family could not afford the expensive hospital treatment available at the time and perhaps this was a contributing factor in her death. The death of their daughter seemed to spur Rae into actively working for socialistic causes. She joined the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and after the party was formed in 1933 she travelled on a speaking tour to organize the CCF movement in

ment. She was assigned, by her party, the job of education critic. She was critical of the lack of government funding for university scholarships and supported government funding for adult education, a rather novel idea in the 1940s. She also supported and championed women’s rights and better benefits and working conditions for workers. She was concerned women working for the war effort would find it difficult to return to being homemakers once the war was won. In the 1945 provincial election Luckock lost her seat. In 1948 she was accused of being a communist by the executive of the CCF party because

of her association with the Housewives and Consumer Association (HCA), which she had helped organize in 1943. Rae Luckock continued to fight for consumer and worker benefits and when HCA and other women’s groups formed the Congress of Canadian Women, a peace organization, she was chosen as its first president. In that capacity she travelled the world promoting their cause. Shortly after a successful trip to China, in 1956, Rae became ill and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. She died in 1972. Thus we find another unsung pioneer from our township. Submitted by Jean Campbell

Family Health Teams provide streamlined access to services as needed by Marissa Bertens, Minto-Mapleton Family Health Team MAPLETON - Family Health Teams (FHTs) are a relatively new way of providing care to patients. FHTs are a little different than the usual way of providing health care. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care funds Family Health Teams. FHTs are community-centred primary care organizations whose programs and services are geared to the community they serve. FHTs offer doctors’ office services as well as a team of different health professionals who work together to meet patient’s needs. The focus is on keeping patients and their families healthy, not just treating them when they are sick. FHTs also offer programs and services that help patients to: - understand risk for common chronic diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes or cancer ; - live a healthy lifestyle to manage, delay or stop an illness from starting; and - learn how to take care of themselves if they develop a common illness. The team approach at Family Health Teams brings together different health care providers to organize care for

patients. Each team is different and can include doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, medical secretaries, dietitians, pharmacists, social workers and therapists, exercise specialists, occupational therapists, physician assistants, physiotherapists and administration staff. The team works together using their special skills to provide the best care to patients, as close to home as possible. There are 185 Family Health Teams across Ontario serving over three million people in over 200 communities. FHTs are patient centred and provide access to a number of primary health care services from a variety of team members, including your family doctor: Points to remember include: - your family doctor will continue to see you during regular office hours; - you will have access to other health care professionals within that Family Health Team, such as nurse practitioners, nurses, dietitians, exercise specialists and pharmacists - FHTs are organized to offer timely access to care; and

MPP backs health centre

PALMERSTON - PerthWellington MPP Randy Pettapiece is urging provincial health minister Deb Matthews to give approval for a new health care facility here. “I am following up on my letter requesting your support to finalize planning approval for the Minto Rural Health Centre (MRHC),” said Pettapiece in a letter to Matthews. Pettapiece said he hand-delivered a previous letter on the topic to Matthews on Feb. 20. “We need your ministry to approve this project as soon as possible so that construction can begin this summer. Timely approval is crucial to the success of the project,” Pettapiece states in the letter. He also asks Matthews or health ministry staff to contact hospital officials to approve this project “or to let them know when approval will be granted so that they can plan accordingly.” The Minto Rural Health Centre is a proposed 11,000-square-foot health centre which would be located on the Palmerston and District Hospital property.

PAGE SIX The Community News, Friday, April 11, 2014

By Rev. Rosemary Godin, Minister, Moorefield-Rothsay United Church

This journey leads to hope Easter is far better than Christmas! This is the time of year when the hope that was given through the miracle of the birth of a baby (Christmas), is solidified in the miracle of the Easter resurrection. At this time of year, we Biblical folk bask in the promise of dry bones coming back to life; departed friends such as Lazarus being

raised from the dead; and our God being resurrected into life eternal for us. What great stories and illustrations can be found in the Bible. But none surpasses the one that tells of a Christ who lived and served and died for all creation. It’s all about hope. As human beings we cannot live without hope. On this very day, there are people in the world living in what some might consider hopeless situations. It’s a tragedy. Whether it is someone living right here in our commu-

The Drayton United Church Choir invites you to celebrate the Easter Season with our presentation of “Come, Touch the Robe” - an Easter Cantata by Pepper Choplin. Sunday, April 13, 2014 7:00pm at the Drayton United Church. Refreshments to follow.

Come worship with us

this Easter

Palm Sunday, April 13 - Palm Parade and Children’s Pageant - 11 a.m. at Moorefield United Church Good Friday, April 18 - 8:30 a.m. Breakfast at Saint James United in Rothsay with worship service at 9:30 a.m. Easter Day April 20 - 9:30 a.m. Saint James in Rothsay; 11 a.m. Moorefield United Church

nity, or someone living on the other side of the Earth, people find themselves living in messy situations and wondering how they can go on. And yet, the story of Easter, with all its ups and downs, is about hope. Not one person has to live in this world and feel hopeless. The rest of us can do something about it. We are called to help all of Creation. So – how can we bring light to someone who feels as though they are living in darkness? Following is a list of things we can do to help those who need strength to go on: - acceptance. It’s a common need of all people to feel acceptance and belonging. We are called to love and care for people who are imperfect. After all - someone loves us with all our faults;

- gentleness. There isn’t a person alive who hasn’t felt emotional pain. We should approach everyone we meet with gentleness. We don’t always know what they are going through; - gratefulness. Try and remember to always express your appreciation for other people. Be grateful for who they are or what they have done for you – and express that thankfulness to them; - presence. Sometimes, all a person needs to feel hope is to know that someone is with them. A visit or a simple telephone call might be all it takes to bring someone out of despair and feel hope for the future; - comfort. We all need comfort. A few encouraging words or a hug at an appropriate time can make a big difference in

someone’s life. A simple, “I’m so sorry you are going through this,” lets a person know you care; and - encouragement. We will never know how much a simple word of encouragement can mean to a person. It could make the difference between a person finding the strength to persevere or someone slipping into hopelessness. A letter or a card; a phone call or an e-mail; an invitation to coffee – just let someone know you are thinking of them and wishing them well today. The Dalai Lama is quoted as saying: “Every morning when I wake up, I dedicate myself to helping others to find peace of mind.” I think that’s a lovely way to go through life. Any one of us can usually

tell when we run across someone who is struggling to find hope in this world. As we take this journey towards Easter, we should remind ourselves of the meaning of the day – whether we celebrate it because of our faith or not. Easter is a huge reminder to us that renewal is a promise in our world. The opportunity for new life is ever-present, no matter how much we have messed up. There is always hope of better days ahead. At this time of year when the buds are beginning to display new life on bare tree limbs and the tulips and crocuses peek through the cold earth, we say: “Aha! There you are again! I knew you would come soon.” And that’s the promise of Easter – that all will be well.
