‘Amazing Race’ event raises funds for Troy McLaughlin Sports Foundation By Caroline Sealey PALMERSTON Participants in Norwell District Secondary School’s inaugural Amazing Race took to the streets of Palmerston on April 26. The event, organized by the Norwell Student Council, was created to raise funds for the Troy McLaughlin Sports Foundation in honour of Troy McLaughlin, who was tragically killed in a car accident in Mapleton in 2014. Troy’s mother Cindy McLaughlin, the guest speaker for the event, recalled the day that her son died. “It was October 26, 2014. Troy and I were to go to Anna Mae’s Restaurant for breakfast. We enjoyed a mother-
son conversation on the way to the restaurant and forgot that it wasn’t open on Sundays,� McLaughlin said. “The conversation continued during our trip to Listowel and at the restaurant there. He even opened the car door for me. “I didn’t know it would be our last mother-son conversation.� Troy had just purchased a new car and was excited about the pockets in the interior of the car where he could store his wallet. McLaughlin did not know at the time she would need to find his wallet later that night at the accident scene. The family had just picked up a new puppy. “Troy loved the puppy
CINDY McLAUGHLIN and teased me about being an OCD mom who caved and got a dog,� McLaughlin said. “He laughed, smiled, gave me a huge hug and left to go out.� There was a brief call to his mother that afternoon
from Troy. The next call brought the family the devastating news that Troy had been in a car accident. “I am truly broke without him. A piece of the family was lost that day. I have to carry on because he would kick my butt for being down,� McLaughlin said. Out of tragedy comes a silver lining. Five people became recipients of Troy’s organs following the accident. “One month before the accident Troy had talked about organ donation with me. I was unsure but when he said to me, ‘Mom it’s what I really want to do,’ I told him that I would honour his wishes,� McLaughlin said. Of the five to receive
organs, one 17-year-old girl who had been on the organ donation list for a year was able to use Troy’s kidney and pancreas; two people who were legally blind were able to see; and a new born baby was given an eye lens. In Troy’s memory, 954 people signed organ donor cards. The family continues to raise awareness around organ donations. “Thank you to the organizers and the teams who are involved with the Amazing Race today. The proceeds from the race will benefit the Troy McLaughlin Sports Foundation,� McLaughlin said. Amazing Race organizers briefed the race participants on the rules. Fourteen
teams consisting of two to four members followed clues to businesses in Palmerston that hosted various challenges. Each challenge was to be completed in 15 minutes or a two-minute penalty was assessed. Seven local businesses hosted challenges for the participants that ranged from decorating cookies at the grocery store to counting and rolling nickels at the bank. Norwell principal Paul Richard summed up the event stating, “It’s about engaging students with the community and raising an awareness about the Troy McLaughlin Sports Foundation and organ donation. “We are hoping to make this an annual event.�
Conditions, deadline added to commitment to repair tile By Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – Township council has added some conditions and a deadline to a commitment to pay for potential future repairs to a private drain crossing a township road. On March 28 Mapleton council agreed to rectify any future damage to a tile crossing Sideroad 17 until 2032. Council agreed to the repairs after being presented with documents supporting a resident’s contention the road was used to transport turbine components during construction of the Conestogo Wind Energy Centre (CWEC) in 2012.
On April 25 councillor Michael Martin introduced a motion to reconsider the decision. Resident Dunc Lamond initially came to council about the issue on March 8, asking who is responsible for future repairs to a tile drain that crosses Sideroad 17 near his farm. He told council the transportation route outlined in the agreement between the township and NextEra Energy Canada indicates trucks would use a series of back roads off Highway 6. Yet he said he and other area residents saw blades and turbine components transported straight to the

site along Sideroad 17 from Wellington Road 109. He said he believes the heavy loads caused the road to settle and disrupted the tile outlet. The township investigated Lamond’s concerns, including contacting NextEra officials, who stated the company never used Sideroad 17, and declined to take further action. On March 28 Lamond presented council with a copy of a Transportation Management Plan for the CWEC project that he received from a NextEra official on March 2. The plan shows Sideroad 17 as delivery route for turbine components and a

NextEra official also mentioned the road as part of the delivery route in a telephone conversation with Lamond. Although CAO Brad McRoberts noted a drain crossing a township road would not be allowed under current policies without a legal agreement, council approved a resolution agreeing to pay for any repairs to the drain until 2032, the estimated life of the tile. The resolution indicated the township would make “best efforts� to recover costs of any repair from NextEra. “I guess ... my struggle is with connecting the dots,� said Martin at the April 25 meeting.

“Are we just assuming that it was those heavy trucks that created the damage?� After council approved the motion to reconsider the March 28 resolution, Martin introduced a motion obligating the township to undertake repairs to the tile within the municipal road allowance under the following conditions: - documented proof of damage to the field tile within the township road allowance must be provided by Lamond; - the documentation of damages must be provided to the township on or before Dec. 31, 2017 at which time
any claim for damages will expire; - future damage(s) are not eligible for any claim; and - Lamond must enter into a standard road crossing agreement with the township. Public works director Sam Mattina told council that on April 11, staff excavated the tile and the ditch line in order to determine its condition. “It was found to be intact and functioning,â€? said Mattina. “Based on that the tile is in satisfactory condition from what we saw.â€?

Veterinary museum curator to address historical society by Caroline Sealey DRAYTON - The Mapleton Historical Society’s annual meeting on May 12 will feature guest speaker Dr. Lisa Cox. Her talk on “Canada’s the and Horses War Canadian Army Veterinary Corps,” will focus on the role of horses in the First World War and the veterinarians charged with their care. Cox is currently the curator at the C.A.V. Barker Canadian of Museum Veterinarian History at the Ontario Veterinary College and a history professor at the University of Guelph. Her thesis on the history of bovine tuberculosis focused on how scientists, regulators and farmers worked to control the disease from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s. Working with professor Ian Barker and two history students, these individuals created the C.A.V. Barker Museum of Canadian Veterinary History. The museum is the largest collection of veterinar-
ian artifacts North in America. Containing than more 12,000 pieces, collecthe tion includes early surgiDR. LISA COX instrucal ments, photographs, diplomas, writings and items that depict a veterinarian’s role in military conflict. The artifacts in storage since the 1950s were brought out and put on display for the Ontario Veterinary College’s 150th anniversary in 2012. The collection of artifacts was named after Barker’s father, university professor and Ontario Veterinary College graduate Clifford Barker, in recognition of his 40-year career at the college and for his dedication to preserving the history of the college and the veterinary profession. Cox presented a talk on the history of Canada’s War Horses at the Wellington and Museum County Archives in November 2016.
The address covered the vital role that veterinarians played in the health and care of horses used in conflict. Millions of horses and other pack animals were a source of labour for the troops as the animals moved supplies, munitions and people. Veterinarians were located at the front lines offering medical care and hospitals were set up behind the lines for the animals’ care. Some of the horses in battle were trained at the Ontario Veterinary College. A new veterinary heritage display was recently set up by Cox at the Ontario Veterinary College’s Animal Cancer Centre. Cabinets in the reception area of the centre, donated by the class of 1965, provide an opportunity for veterinary clients to view artifacts from the past. The Mapleton Historical Society Meeting begins at 7:30pm at the PMD arena in Drayton. Everyone is welcome to attend the event. Light refreshments will be served following the meeting.
Norgan surplus dedicated to capital By Patrick Raftis MINTO - Future Norgan Theatre profits will be used for capital projects at the entertainment venue. At the March 27 Parks and Recreation Advisory committee meeting member Bob McEachern requested more information regarding the Norgan Theatre board’s
plans for any annual surpluses from theatre operations now that the debt to the municipality is paid off. The municipality loaned a group of community volunteers $177,000 in 2007 when the town-owned theatre faced closure due to structural concerns. The money was paid back from proceeds from showing
movies at the theatre, staffed by volunteers. Services manager Matt Lubbers assured McEachern the Norgan profits go into a separate reserve account to be put towards future capital work at the theatre. The Norgan Theatre board is currently in the process of compiling a list of possible projects.

EDITORIAL By Patrick Raftis
Keeping Terry’s dream alive
Drayton Entertainment’s announcement of the return to this region of Marathon of Hope: The Musical, which the locally-based theatre company developed, serves as a reminder of the strong connection between this community and the Terry Fox Foundation. While the stage show tells the story of iconic Canadian Terry Fox, his inspirational cross-country run and his struggles with the cancer that eventually claimed his life, local residents have crafted their own compelling narrative through their passion for his cause. As communities across the nation annually raise millions for cancer research each September by hosting Terry Fox Runs, the Mapleton community makes an outsized contribution through the truly amazing Drayton run. Since its inception more than 20 years ago, the Drayton Terry Fox Run has raised just short of half a million dollars. Last year alone 162 participants brought in more than $24,000 in pledges and it’s a source of local pride that the Drayton event regularly places among the top 10 runs in per capita fundraising. It’s an amazing tradition that many in this community would no doubt like to see continue, but that means several will have to step forward to make it happen. The current group of longtime organizers has been recruiting for new volunteers for several years now and, during the run-up to last year’s event, indicated their intent to step aside to make way for a fresh group to take over. In a letter to the editor last month, organizing committee member Louise Ellis reminded Community News readers that after last year’s run, “this community was placed on notice that the ‘Drayton Terry Foxies’ would be moving on to other volunteer efforts and personal pursuits.” She noted, “After over 20 years of good efforts the decision was difficult - however it remains the right one.” The Terry Fox Foundation recently sent out a reminder on Twitter that organizers are still needed for several Ontario runs, including Drayton’s. Ellis pointed out the local organizational team has compiled a great starter kit to provide resources for those who step forward next to take on Terry’s challenge. Anyone who would like to be part of that adventure is encouraged to contact her at loularellis@yahoo.ca or 519-638-2120. Can this small community continue to play host to one of the most successful Terry Fox Runs in Canada? As Fox himself was fond of saying, “Anything’s possible if you try.”

Businesses including Foodland, Small Town Pizza, CIBC, Norgan Theatre, Palmerston Railway Heritage Museum and the library hosted challenges, ranging from CPR and first aid to rolling coins and decorating cookies. About $315 was raised for the Troy McLaughlin Sports Foundation, in memory of former Norwell student, the late Troy McLaughlin. Organizers declared the event “a great success” and look forward to hosting it again next year. Submitted photo
Family Health Teams, hospitals want to hear from public about local needs By Sandy Turner Health Promoter, Minto-Mapleton FHT DRAYTON - Have you ever wondered what your health care dollars are doing for you in your community? Hopefully you will have some idea, but if not, this article will give you a glimpse at the amazing free programs and services offered at your local Family Health Teams and hospitals. We are here to serve the community and our patients, so please be in touch. Family Health Teams (FHTs) have been around for over 10 years now. From the beginning, FHTs have been providing services ranging from prevention to chronic disease management. Each local FHT has a team, and they may be a bit different from community to community, but below is a list of health professionals that typically work within a FHT and what services they provide (services/programs offered either one on one or in a group setting). Social workers: A main focus for social workers is providing counselling for the prevention of mental health problems. Some of the mental health concerns the social workers can help with include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, anger or stress
management, parenting concerns and relationship issues. Pharmacist: Not sure what medications you take and why? The clinical pharmacist helps you to understand the medications you are taking, make decisions about medication choices, understand how food, activity and other medications affect the medication you are taking and helps to organize medications around food and daily activities. Nursing: Many FHTs have nurses to help with general health screening, diagnostic testing, administering treatments as ordered, immunizing, blood drawing and patient follow-up. Another focus is to prevent disease progression and reduce potential health complications. Dietitian: Healthy eating is an important part of overall well-being. Whether you have a specific medical condition or just want more information about choosing healthier foods, the registered dietitian can help you make informed choices about the food you eat. Kinesiologist: Exercise is the most important thing you can do for your body. But knowing the right exercise for you is important. Get your personalized exercise plan today and see the impact
exercise can have on your health and wellbeing. Home based and supervised classes are often available. Outreach worker: Struggling with the health system? The outreach worker will help you get connected to community agencies, to navigate social programs, and support you when family or friends can’t help. OTN Nurses: These nurses use the secure technology of today to allow many patients to have appointments with specialists in their home community. With video-conferencing, wait times, travel burdens and costs are greatly reduced. Ask the next time you see your doctor or nurse practitioner if this is available for you! Finally, most of you are very familiar with what your doctor or nurse practitioner does, talk with them if you see someone on this list you would like to connect with. If you need a doctor or nurse practitioner, start the registration process by calling Health Care Connect at 1-800445-1822. Have your valid health card, paper and pen ready when you call. The Diabetes Education Centres (DEC) at the hospital or FHTs are a great resource for anyone living with diabetes or pre-diabetes.
The DEC and FHT work closely together to help everyone manage their diabetes. The type of diabetes you have, how controlled your diabetes is and how new the diagnosis is for you will determine which centre will follow your diabetes care. You may be transferred between the two centres as the disease progresses, but either way, a diabetes educator will be there to support you along the way. Not all services and programs are available in every community. If you are struggling with a health concern and don’t know where to turn for help, or aren’t seeing a program or service listed that you would benefit from, we want to hear from you. Contact your local FHT by phone, or website to send your comments on their feedback or contact us page. For more information about any of the free services offered by the Minto-Mapleton Family Health Team, visit the website at www.mmfht.ca or call the Drayton office at 519638-2110 or Clifford office at 519-327-4777.

Retired women teachers hear from Doddi Reid on fundraising for wells in Africa PALMERSTON - “Start small and think big” is the message Palmerston area resident Doddi Reid gave to the ladies of the Palmerston branch of Retired Women Teachers of Ontario (RWTO) at their spring meeting on April 21. Reid has been doing just that since she became involved with the Water Can organization in Ottawa in 2007. Reid wanted to do something that would make a difference so building wells in Africa became her dream. Reid needed to find ways to raise enough money for the project. Enlisting the help of family, friends, neighbours and community with garage sales, catering, babysitting, bottle drives and much more she had raised the first $10,000 by September of her first year. The garage sales and bottle collections have continued over the years along with cash donations from BC to Newfoundland. Reid is also very involved
with World Water Day in March. During the past 10 years over $100,000 has been raised. The Water Can organization is now called Water Aid Canada which works in partnership with local organizations in 37 countries to improve access to safe water, improved hygiene and sanitation in developing countries. Each country has its own challenges. In Kenya the old sewage pipes needed to be dug up and relayed. Uganda’s ground water is not drinkable. Tanzania needed a medical clinic and Ethiopia needed shovels to work with. Reid has been amazed with the support over the years and how people think her dream is worthwhile. Anyone wishing to make donations or collect bottles for pick up may contact Reid at 5283 3rd Line, RR 3, Palmerston. President Anne Darroch welcomed everyone to the meeting including guest speaker Reid and thanked Barb Foster for being the
greeter for the day. A ham and scalloped potato dinner was enjoyed. Reports were given by Treasurer Joanne Matthews and Insurance Convener Mildred Francis. Correspondence was read by Secretary Joan Woods. Lorraine Ballard gave an update for Goodwill. The Walking Club will be going to Allen Park on May 9 for the next outing. The Book Club just finished reading The Girl on the Train and will meet on May 18 at Joan Simpson’s place to discuss A House in the Sky. Janice Benson will lead the discussion. Kathy Watt arranged a tour on May 10 at Iceculture in Hensall to see how this famous operation works. Anyone interested in joining the group should contact Kathy Watt. Travel Convener Lynn Morrison has also arranged a trip to Iceculture for later in the summer. It will be by bus with lunch included.
On Sept. 13 there will be a bus trip to Niagara-on-theLake for a luncheon cruise on the Niagara Belle. The trip also includes a wine tasting and tour at Konzelmann Estate Winery. A trip to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to the Sight and Sound Theater to see Jonah has been arranged for Oct. 2-5. This trip will include a stop at Hershey Chocolate World as well as the Dutch Apple Theater to see The Buddy Holly Story. A guided tour of Amish country is also included. Contact Morrison for more information on any of these trips. Issues and Concerns spokesperson Barb Thompson was pleased to announce the Upper Grand District School Board has three teams competing in the Skills Canada Provincial Level Competition this year. She cautioned members about using bristle brushes to clean barbecues as the bristles can fall off and become
embedded in food which is then swallowed. She showed three different options that can be used. The lucky draw prize donated by Betty Tarc was won by Ada Mason and 10 ladies paid a fine for not wearing their pin. Three members of the group were honoured to receive the Cora Bailey Award this year for outstanding service to the Branch. Colleen Robertson presented Jean Brodhaecker wih her certificate and Joan Woods was presented with her certificate by Darroch. Both were thanked for their con-
tributions to the Branch. Dorothy Dickson was absent so will receive her certificate at a later date. Past president Oriole Blyth conducted the installation of officers for 2017-2019. The new executive is: past president Anne Darroch;, president Colleen Robertson, first vice-president Debra Kalb; second vice-president vacant; secretary Janet Murphy; treasurer Joanne Matthews, insurance Mildred Francis. Blyth reminded everyone to bring a new stuffed toy to the May 26 meeting as a donation to the hospitals.
Terry Fox musical returns to Drayton Entertainment May 15 CAMBRIDGE – Are you ready for a miracle? After a successful world premiere at St. Jacobs Country Playhouse last fall, Marathon of Hope: The Musical will bring Terry Fox’s uplifting story back to the stage in Waterloo Region – this time in Cambridge. This inspiring Canadian musical will run for three weeks from May 15 to June 4 at the Dunfield Theatre Cambridge with 12 performances scheduled exclusively for school groups. Developed in consultation and with the full endorsement of the Fox family, Marathon of Hope: The Musical covers the iconic hero’s many achievements and challenges on his unprecedented crosscountry marathon for cancer research. Organizers say the Canadian musical strikes the right balance of emotion, humour and inspiration, effectively conveying Terry’s moving story and giving audiences new insight into his extraordinary life. “At its core, this is a captivating story about an ordinary young man accomplishing the extraordinary. But it’s also about overcoming doubts and fears and having the courage to dream big,” said Alex Mustakas, artistic director of Drayton Entertainment. “I’m excited to share this distinctly Canadian story with more theatregoers this season. Celebrating our most iconic hero seems like a fitting way to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday.” Marathon of Hope: The Musical covers many facets of Terry’s remarkable story, starting with his high school athletic career and family life in Port Coquitlam, BC, through his cancer diagnosis and right leg amputation above the knee, and then

chronicling the people and places that motivated him during his 143-day marathon spanning 5,373 kilometres. This new musical has been created by composer and lyricist John Connolly. The book is written by award-winning playwright Peter Colley. After directing the world premiere last fall, Mustakas has handed directing duties over to David Connolly, who will direct and choreograph the production. Composer and lyricist John Connolly will lead a band as the music director. Set designer Douglas Paraschuk, costume designer Jenine Kroeplin, lighting designer Kevin Fraser and projections designer Sean Nieuwenhuis round out this consummate creative team. The production features Nathan Carroll as Terry Fox. Carroll’s credits include the original Canadian cast of Once, The Wizard of Oz, alongside many other musicals, classics and new works. The 16-member company also includes Tyler Check as Doug Alward, Terry’s best friend on his cross-country journey. Check is currently playing Carl Perkins in Drayton Entertainment’s
production of Million Dollar Quartet. Tim Porter will play Terry’s younger brother, Darrell Fox. Porter recently appeared in Singin’ in the Rain and won hearts as Buttons in last season’s holiday panto production of Cinderella. Charlotte Moore will play Terry’s mother, Betty Fox. Moore’s extensive credits include Fantine in the Canadian National Tour of Les Misérables and Marilla in Anne of Green Gables at the Charlottetown Festival, along with Mrs. Johnstone in Blood Brothers with Drayton Entertainment. James Kall will play Terry’s father, Rolly Fox. Kall’s extensive career includes film, television and theatre productions across North America. J. Sean Elliott will play publicity director Bill Vigars, one of Terry’s close friends and confidants during the marathon of hope. Laura Mae Nason will play Toronto Star reporter Leslie Scrivener, who chronicled Terry’s journey and later authored the notable book, Terry Fox: His Story. Curtis Sullivan will take on the commanding yet
endearing role of Isadore Sharp, the chairman and CEO of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts who helped Terry realize his fundraising goal of $1 for every Canadian. The company also includes Stephanie Cadman, Kristen Peace, Drew Plummer, Jade Repeta, Neil Salinas and Keith Savage SEE TERRY FOX » 7

Speck versus plank It bothers me immensely when Christians judge other Christians in a mean-spirited way. Actually, it bothers me when anybody judges anybody negatively, because it isn’t in the “be nice to other humans” job description. In Matthew 7:1-5 we read this: “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Excellent direction for those times when we think we are right and someone
else isn’t. Someone with a beam in her eye cannot see things clearly. She has little discernment. As much as is possible, and in all humility, we need to leave judging to God alone. Although I do believe this scripture verse does say - it is okay to judge - once you’ve removed the log from your own eye! I believe we have a moral responsibility to judge ethical behavior of others - but only if we are humbly aware that we are not always right and sometimes we can be dead wrong. And the key to proper judgement is to do it quietly and in love. Look what it says in Romans 3:23: For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard (NLT) Our ability to judge is limited because we are sinful people. And we might want to remember that one day, this will happen— 2 Corinthians 5:10: For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever

Vision Statement: Vision Statement:
we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body who will ourselves, one day, come under judgment. I am thinking that it’s not so much the act of judging that is the issue, but from what I understand, it’s the attitude with which we do it that matters. It’s okay to be discerning about someone’s character or teaching that seems askew according to God’s word. But when we address this we are not to do it with ruthless Bible-thumping, harsh words and threatening insults. It’s okay to speak to a fellow Christian about something you believe is sinful according to what is taught in the Bible, remembering that interpretation is at play. Speaking in love, in private is the correct way to approach a person—not speaking about him publicly or behind his back, spreading gossip because you think others should ‘hear this, too!’ Check out Matthew 18:15: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him
his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.” If I am jealous of someone and I criticize him, then I am not building him up. I am attempting to tear him down. Not nice. If I think I know the whole story (facts, motives) but I jump to conclusions, then I judge wrongly – I am merely going on hearsay and opinion. Not right. If I make up my own rules because I think I interpreted God correctly, mainly because I want things a certain way - as in distorting the truth to suit - then I need to look out. Bad move. If I am not a nice person to be around and I consistently point out everyone else’s shortcomings but don’t bother looking at myself, then I have a whopping great log in my eye blocking my vision; which makes me arrogant, judgmental. Time to look within. If I share confidential information with the wrong intent (humiliation verse hu-
mility) then I am messing up big time, because I have no right to make someone look bad. If I am being self-righteous and critical over something that might mean one thing to me and something else to someone else, then I deserve to get pinched by God. And I think, most importantly, if I think I have the right to say that someone is going to hell (pronouncing eternal damnation) then who do I think I am? Look out for the thunder! It’s not my job to usurp God as Judge. I know the best thing I can do to resolve conflicts, or to stop judging is to submit to God by showing love and living the Fruits of the Spirits as best as I can (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.) Loving words don’t tear down. People can choose to react how they wish, but as a Christian I should speak loving and kind words even though I might be considered

judging. I try to use kind words even if I am judging a contest or teaching children about right choices or working with writers to help them improve their work. If I am harsh and heavy handed with my words, beating others over the head with the Bible, then I am working on making myself look like I know it all and ultimately, I am loving myself more than I love others. Our words and deeds need to reflect God, not my own stubborn pride, thinking I have all the answers. Know what happens when I imply I am the one with all the answers? People get defensive and arguments ensue or they run away, not wanting anything to do with all that Christian hypocritical nonsense. Not a very good witness for the Kingdom. Resolving conflicts involves an operation - removal of the plank, and then healing - demonstration of God’s unconditional, non-judgmental love. I’ve got my surgery booked. How about you?
