by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – Council has agreed to spend $112,726 on a new tandem truck cab and chassis to replace a 1992 model in the township’s fleet. However, council deferred a decision on a staff recommendation to purchase a box and plow and other features that would bring the total to more than $200,000 until it receives further information. A report from fleet manager Henry Blancke and CAO Patty Sinnamon recommended
the vehicle and equipment be purchased form Viking-Cives. “The price of $112,726 includes $6,500 for an automatic greaser and $2,000 to up-size the rear axles to 46,000 pounds for the cab and chassis plus $95,650,� the report states. “Our fleet and safety manager also advised that he is recommending that the extended warranty on the engine for seven years be purchased at an additional cost of $5,500. This will bring the complete
package price to $213,876 plus taxes.� Not wanting to hold up ordering the truck, which will take several months for delivery, council agreed the cab and chassis be ordered now, while council should take time to review the other options in the report, which council received the day of the May 13 meeting. “This is a major, major deal here in the township. This is a lot of dollars and we get this report in the afternoon?� said councillor Andy Knetsch.
Maryborough Public School 60th anniversary reunion highlights school carnival on June 13 by Patrick Raftis MOOREFIELD - A barbecue and reunion will be the highlight of 60th anniversary celebrations at Maryborough Public School in Moorefield on June 13. Organizer Ginny Franklin says the reunion event is being held in conjunction with the school’s annual spring carnival. “So we’re going to support
the barbecue and then we’re going to have celebration cake and ice cream,� Franklin said. She added that Wib Brown, who was the first principal at Maryborough PS when the school opened in 1954, initiated the reunion event. Brown, currently living in Waterloo, “wanted to see how many students he could reconnect with.� Franklin said there will be
photos of the class of 1954 and some other memorabilia on display during the evening, which she said will be an informal come and go-style event. “It’s for anybody that’s interested in the school or who wants to reconnect with someone,� she said. The event will be held at the school on June 13 from 4 to 7pm.
60th anniversary - A reunion celebrating Maryborough PS’ 60th anniversary is set for June 13.
Business retention and expansion focus of joint economic development meeting by Patrick Raftis MOOREFIELD - Business retention and expansion was the focus of a joint Mapleton, Minto and Wellington North economic development meeting at the Maryborough Community Centre on May 21. Guest speaker Rebecca Mustard, economic development officer for Durham Region, described a business retention and expansion (BR+E) study conducted in Scugog Township, providing numerous points of comparison to a similar Wellington County study that has reached the implementation phase. “Our objectives are really similar to your objectives,� Mustard said, citing goals such as enhancing relationships between the business community and the municipality, identifying and addressing business concerns, and increasing competitiveness of local businesses. Mustard complimented Wellington County on its own BR+E efforts. “You have a fabulous project, it’s a great read and it has some really interesting actions to it,� she said.

cent of local residents “leave the community to work somewhere else,� said Mustard. “If everyone in Scugog wanted to work in Scugog, there is not
enough jobs for them.� Like Wellington County, agriculture plays a major role in the Scugog economy, said Mustard.

“Agriculture is probably Scugog’s second largest industry,� she said. Scugog’s study showed that 38 existing businesses were looking to expand, prompting the municipality to consider its role in facilitating that goal. “That raised the question of how do we help them expand? Or how do we get out of the way of this expansion?� said Mustard. Part of the answer to that question is obvious from the fact 44% of Scugog businesses cited business taxes among the top five barriers to doing business locally, while 36% cited issues with the local approval process. However, the Scugog study also revealed finding skilled workers is a concern in the region, cited by 35% of study respondents. Lack of internet access in some areas was also a problem. Mustard said through the interview process Scugog officials also realized there is a need to make development charges “more feasible� for businesses. “Time and time again we were told, ‘You wanted $50,000 from me before I ever
put a shovel into the ground,’� she explained. Citing broadband and labour force issues specifically, Wellington North Mayor Ray Tout noted many of Scugog’s business concerns mirror issues often raised in Wellington County. “It’s interesting to note we’re ... hours apart, but we still have a lot of the same issues,� said Tout. In a presentation on the local BR+E study, Wellington County economic development officer Jana Reichert said the county is now ready to accept applications from lower tier municipalities for up to $25,000 each in funding for BR+E plans. “We’re looking forward to seeing some of the implementation plans,� she said. Minto Mayor George Bridge offered “kudos� to Wellington County council for the decision to offer a total of $175,000 to the county’s seven lower tier municipalities. “There’s no use starting the business retention and expansion study if you’re not going to put some money on the table to implement it,� said Bridge.

Palmerston business is Pitch It! winner PALMERSTON - Alexandra’s Airbrush is the winner of the 2014 Pitch It! Minto business plan competition. The business, owned and operated by Alexandra CookeWasberg, opened in 2013 and is currently located on Main Street in Palmerston. The success and continued growth of her business has her looking at expanding and opening a second location to be able to spray larger items and offer workshops for those interested in learning more about airbrushing, notes the town in a press release. The Town of Minto, in partnership with local sponsors, launched the Pitch-It! Minto Business Plan Competition in 2012 in an effort to grow small businesses in Minto and increase awareness of the resources available locally. The competition is geared towards entrepreneurs that wish to open a new business venture, purchase an existing business, expand an existing business or re-locate an existing business within the Town of Minto. Six finalists submitted full business plans and made presentations to the judges. “We received six amazing business plans, which once again made the judging very difficult for our panel of judges” said Belinda Wick-Graham, the town’s business and eco-

nomic manager. The five finalists were: Minto Mom, Free Range Arts, Alexandra’s Airbrush, Weathered, Grant’s Service Centre and Minto Computers. “I was extremely impressed with all the finalists this year, and I would like to congratulate them all for operating such unique and interesting businesses,” said Saugeen Economic Development Corporation general manager Rose Austin, one of the competition judges. “The passion that each of these entrepreneurs shows for
their business and their community is extremely evident in all they do. “It was an extremely difficult decision to narrow it down to just one, because in my opinion they all deserve to win. Congratulations to all of them, and to Minto, you truly have the entrepreneurial spirit.” Cooke-Wasberg said, “Winning Pitch It! has given me the affirmation from business professionals that I am on the right track to grow my company successfully. It’s not just the money which will help me upgrade a secondary location; it’s also the opportunity to study business. “When I initially started out in 2013 I quickly discovered how little I knew about running a small business effectively. Artists are seldom given the chance to immerse themselves in a business environment. And yet when we leave school we are in essence a sole proprietorship.” Cooke-Wasberg added, “My art skills are strong, but with the proper training I will be able to take my company to the next level. My gratitude again to the Pitch It! judges for believing in my company’s future.” With the support of community sponsors, finalists receive over $1,040 worth of prizes and the winner takes home over $10,000 in prizes, including $3,000 cash in start-up capital.

Town approves gas bar site plan
by Patrick Raftis PALMERSTON – Minto council is set to approve the site plan for new gas bar at the entrance to the industrial park here. The development, owned by a numbered company, will include a 1,990 square foot building and a four-island gas bar. The facility will use a shared entrance with a new Tim Hortons restaurant to be developed at the site. A staff report notes entrances and parking areas will be bordered with concrete curbs and paved, including curbing between Wellington Road 123 access and Minto Road “to prevent truck parking on the roadway as required of Tim Hortons.” The report recommends signs prohibiting parking and strict enforcement. However councillor Rick Hembly said he isn’t worried about parking issues at the site. “Tim Hortons

CAO Patty Sinnamon reminded council, staff did obtain quotes when purchasing the server a couple of years ago. “The reason for single sourcing, if you will, is we did go through that process (tendering),” she explained. Councillor Neil Driscoll noted the township has added an administrative assistant in the past year and wondered if that could help staff handle IT work in-house. “That’s a lot of money when we are adding to our admin staff here,” said Driscoll. “Honestly, that’s a completely different skill set,” replied Sinnamon. She noted that relying on in-house staff means risking losing that knowledge if employees leave the township. “I know we certainly have a lot more computers and computer equipment. It does get more complex,” commented Mayor Bruce Whale. “We budgeted for this,” councillor Jim Curry pointed out. When a vote was called, council approved the recommendation without opposition.

Local focus encouraging A small gathering at the Maryborough Community Centre last week involving some area municipal officials, staff and community members showed local politicians and administrators really are starting to see the whole forest, as well as the trees, when it comes to economic development. For some time now Mapleton, Minto and Wellington North have been holding joint economic development meetings to build on what is being done at the county level and in the individual municipalities in that area. To begin with, it’s good to see local municipalities cooperating and sharing both resources and ideas. That should result in efficient use of tax dollars from all levels. While many good ideas have come out of the various economic development groups in the county in recent years, one of the best was the focus of the May 21 meeting in Moorefield – expansion and retention of existing businesses. With the vast majority of employment expansion opportunities generated by existing business, municipalities are realizing that creating a viable economic climate for those who are already here can often be more fruitful than mounting campaigns to attract outside investment. After completing Wellington’s first ever Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) project the county approved a $175,000 BR+E local implementation fund, which provides Wellington’s lower tier municipalities the opportunity to access funding for the direct execution of BR+E activities to enhance the local economy. Wellington County economic development officer Jana Reichert told the local gathering that the county is now ready to accept applications from lower tier municipalities for up to $25,000 each in funding for BR+E plans. “We’re looking forward to seeing some of the implementation plans,” she said. Taxpayers and businesses should also be looking forward to seeing those plans implemented, as it’s very easy for the economy to become stagnant in a small rural area without timely and practical intervention from those with a stake in the outcome.

Letter to the Editor Zeal continues Dear Editor: There is just something special about living in a small community. The generosity and support exhibited on April 26 before, during and after Zeal for Teal 2014 was incredible and greatly appreciated. A mere notice on Facebook, posters in the Drayton Foodmarket, library and Royal Bank, or a gentle request face to face and even a small press release in the Community News caused our community of Drayton and beyond to pour out generosity that would make the annual ovarian cancer fundraiser a huge success once again. A thousand thank-yous from all the committee members and volunteers. Your help, generous prize and monetary donations, your participation, special visits and more gave us
the enthusiasm we needed to plug away, plan and prepare for another amazing event. Rosemary Latham, my sister and incredibly-creative partner, keeps getting better and better. Her set design was the focal point with an amazing pirate ship taking centre stage. Sue Bauman and Rosemary used their artistic eyes to create an authentic pirate experience for grateful participants. How can we thank you enough? We are delighted to report that the pirate ship will live on at the Alma VBS this summer and the Palm trees were used at the Starlight Gala. We love recycling.

Mapleton Musings Column courtesy of Mapleton Historical Society Moorefield school It is 60 years since pupils first sat in the original two classrooms in the Moorefield School. The school was built on two acres on the north side of the village in 1954. The official opening was held March 24, 1955. The first teachers were Mr. Wib Brown and Mrs Gordon Johnston. This was not the first school in Moorefield. The children from the village attended S.S. # 4, the one-room school, on Lot 5, Concession 9, a long walk for the little ones. The population of Moorefield increased as more businesses and people moved to the village to be near-
er to the railway station built in 1871. In 1880 three men met in J. E. Thompson’s wagon shop and made plans to build a school in Moorefield. They purchased a lot on the south side of the village where a white brick school was built at a cost of less than $2,000. By 1952 there were too many pupils to be accommodated in the school so the Grade 5 and 6 pupils were transported to S.S. # 4. Although this arrangement eased the situation, the schools were still too crowded. A public meeting was called March 6, 1953, where 60 per cent of the ratepayers were in favour of building a new
school. Plans moved forward quickly. The land was purchased, architects hired and the contract let for the new two room school. When the Conestogo Dam was built the large area flooded included two school areas. It was decided to form an area school to accommodate the pupils from these schools. The school area included School Sections # 2, 12 (Moorefield) 13, 18, and 19. Moorefield School became Township School Area No. 1. Wyandot School, built in 1958 was Township Area School No. 2, and Rothsay School, built in 1962, was No. 3. The first bus service for
elementary school pupils in Wellington County was established in Maryborough Township to transport the children from across the township to these three area schools. In 1966 an addition was made to Moorefield school because it was decided to have students of designated classes attend each of the area schools. Moorefield had kindergarten and Grades 1, 2, and 3. Rothsay had grades 3, 4, 5, and special education. Wyandot had grades 5, 6, 7, and 8. In 1969 the Wellington County School Board was established and one trustee was elected to represent Maryborough,
Peel and Drayton. In 1998 the Wellington and Dufferin county school boards amalgamated and the name was changed to the Upper Grand District School Board. At Moorefield school changes continued. In 1988 the first portable classroom was placed for an extra class. Wyandot school closed and those pupils came to Moorefield. In 1991 a portable double gym and two more portable classrooms were placed to accommodate the pupils from Rothsay. In 1992 six more classrooms were added and the portables
were removed. Kindergarten to Grade 5 students were taught at the school. Additional land was purchased to enlarge the playground, with a creative play area, baseball diamonds and soccer fields. In 1994 a new gym with a stage was added to the building. The Moorefield school , officially known as Maryborough Public School, continues to offer education to children from kindergarten to Grade 5. No doubt there are many area residents with fond memories of their school days at the Moorefield school. Submitted by Jean Campbell
Opinion: Believe in growing Ontario with agriculture, federation urges all residents of the province By Mark Wales GUELPH – As political watchers predicted, Ontario is in the midst of a provincial election campaign. In response, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) is ready to go to candidates with key messages for the sector before voters go to the polls June 12. To draw candidate attention to the key issues that matter to OFA members and impact the overall health of the Ontario economy, the themed election campaign will be, “I Believe in Growing Ontario.” It’s a simple way to relate agriculture issues back to the overall economy because when agriculture is strong, every Ontarian benefits from the food, fibre and jobs the agri-sector provides. There are four key issues to focus on with party candidates over the next several weeks. A special website, GrowingOntario.ofa.on.ca, is being launched to serve as election central. It will have information for candidates and OFA members about issues that matter to Ontario agriculture and why these issues should matter to every politician. The first is energy. There should be access to competitively priced energy, including expanding infrastructure to deliver natural gas into more rural areas and ensuring affordable and competitive rates for electricity. The second issue is prop-

erty taxation. The government needs to improve property taxation for farmers, and address municipal funding, so farmland taxes reflect the services provided. The third topic is food literacy. The OFA wants food literacy reintroduced into schools so Ontario’s young adults are taught how to make better, healthier food choices. The forth election issue is agri-skills training. Ontario’s agri-food sector will remain strong, innovative and competitive as long as we continue
to provide ongoing education and skills training. For more detail, check out these short videos which explain these four issues more in depth. Visit the OFA’s YouTube channel at YouTube/ OntarioFarms to learn more. The OFA talks a lot about how agriculture is the biggest economic driver in the province. Together with local and regional federations, the message needs to be delivered to political candidates of every party stripe, in every riding. As part of the election

PAGE SIX The Community News, Friday, May 30, 2014
By Rev. Rosemary Godin, Minister, Moorefield-Rothsay United Church
We all have the power to heal I’ve been thinking a lot about healing over the past several weeks. When we are in times of deep trouble, it seems as if there is no other place to turn except to some greater power. The hope of the miracle of a healing has to be an integral part of our lives for our own well-being. When we say we’re going to pray for healing, a lot of people assume we are talking about physical healing. That could be the case, especially if someone is injured or ill. But
healing can mean wounds or hurts that are physical, emotional or spiritual. All of us have been created with a wonderful and innate ability to heal. We learn this at a young age. A cut or scrape just needs to be cleaned and bandaged and in a few days, our skin is as good as new! We are healed naturally. But oh, if only all our scrapes and bruises and wounds were as easily made right again! The body will do what it is designed for – get right to work: restoring skin; mending bones; curing illness. But what about those wounds that are emotional or spiritual? How have we all been made to heal those hurts?
There are many studies about suffering. People with strings of letters behind their names will put forward all kinds of theories about the reasons for suffering. After all, some will tell you, if we don’t know what suffering is, then we won’t recognize how blessed we are during the good times. When we try to avoid suffering, another will tell you, we lose touch with reality. But there is a difference between a cure and a healing. It’s an interesting paradox that you can heal without curing, and you can cure without healing. Physical medicine appears to concentrate on the curing aspect of healing. But often,

more is needed to make a person whole. We are wounded folk when we are bitter, hurt, unhappy or fearful, for example. In truth, the suffering we feel when we are in such a state of anxiety is often something we have chosen for ourselves. We have chosen that response to outside sources. And so, just as the body can heal itself, we can heal our emotions and spirits as well. It’s just not done as naturally as physical renewal. It takes work on our part. When Jesus told the paralytic to take up his mat and go, he is telling all of us that we too, can be healed from our injuries. Maybe not cured in the ways we would physically
like to be, but healed in spirit. We may not be cured of the original injury that put us in the state we feel now, but we can be healed of our suffering! People of faith attribute all the good in life to God’s love. The source of all life and creation is divine love. We believe then, that all healing stems from love. In being loved and in sharing love, we become catalysts for restoration in the world. A well-known psychiatrist, Bernie Siegel, often told the story of his work with a burn patient who believed she was unlovable because of her scars. For three years, he tried to get her to believe that her appearance had nothing to do with
how people felt about her – but her self-esteem remained low. Then one day he gave her a hug during a counselling session. Dr. Siegel says the woman improved in attitude more with that one hug than in all the years of counselling. She experienced a healing! Science and medicine will continue to work on the cures for everything. And while that takes place, those of us who desire healing need to feel loved. Every one of us can heal the sick, the poor in spirit, and the emotionally despondent. Remember what that cartoon character Ziggy used to always say? He said: “Love is the answer.”

gram fresh and innovative each year,” says Nan Hogg, longtime coordinator of the program. “Many of our students return year after year and we want to give them new instructors to enjoy and new directions to pursue.” The programs have been designed as adult workshops but students in high school are welcome to sign up as the experience is great for adding to portfolio work. Hogg has retired as the on-site program coordinator this year and will serve as an instructor for the two day “Colour Theory and Colour Field Painting” course. For those who like to play with colour, this course is a good fit. Meredith Blackmore, an award-winning portrait painter and experienced instructor will also return this year, teaching “New Drawing and Painting.” This course is designed for beginners or those looking for new momentum. When asked what she likes best about teaching at the Wellington County Museum and Archives, Blackmore said, “For creative work, I think
the greatest talent is in carving out the time and space it needs. The format of these week courses offers the kind of focus that progress is very attracted to.” Blackmore inspires her students to befriend creative obstacles and produce finished work. If this is what you need as an artist – sign up for her course. In addition to a wide variety of painting courses, workshops this year also focus on textiles, glass fusing, photography, printmaking, jewellery and mosaic art. All workshops are held at the Wellington County Museum and Archives; an accessible, climate controlled facility with ample parking. The beautiful gardens and scenic trails are ideal for breaks and picnic lunches. Visit www.wellington. ca/museum for a complete listing of all 15 workshops. Brochures are also available at the Museum and all Wellington County and Guelph libraries. Registration can be completed over the phone, in person or by mail.

Starlight Gala goes Hawaiian in Drayton
Aloha from Drayton “Aloha” was the theme of the Palmerston and District Hospital Foundation’s Starlight Gala at the PMD Arena Complex in Drayton on May 24. Final fundraising totals were not available at deadline, but a live auction of donated items raised more than $45,000 and a silent auction attracted a steady parade of bidders. Clockwise from above: gala attendees were met in traditional Hawaiian fashion as they arrived, including grass-skirted greeters and a fire juggling demonstration; the PMD arena was transformed into an elegant banquet hall for the evening; bidders check out silent auction items. photos by Patrick Raftis
THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT of the amendment is to apply Minimum Distance Separation (MDS 1) regulations to those vacant lots created through the “checkerboard” process, that have never been rezoned or approved for development. These lots were created prior to 1970, and consideration was not given to setbacks from neighbouring livestock operations. Eight of the larger checkerboard lots are being placed into an Agricultural Exception (A-31.274) zone that will allow development, provided certain criteria is met: Compliance with Minimum Distance Separation (1), Frontage on an open, year round maintained road, Safe access onto road and Sufficient lot area and appropriate soils for septic system and well.
LI
THE SUBJECT LANDS are some of the vacant “checkerboard” lots in the Township of Mapleton. The property descriptions are as follows: Lot 7, Con. 9; Lots 12 & 13, Con. 12; Lot 10, Con. 13; Lots 9 & 10, Con. 10 [all in the Geographic Township of Maryborough].

Open to County of Wellington residents only. There is no charge to participate. Commercial, institutional, industrial, and agricultural wastes will not be accepted. Some of the acceptable items include:
Most of the 32 lots immediately north of Moorefield in Lots 9 & 10, Concession 10 are undersized and cannot meet MDS1 requirements. They therefore will require a rezoning in order to develop and are being placed in a different Agricultural Exception (A-31.275) zone. Vacant lots created by the severance process will continued to be exempt from MDS 1 requirements. Other vacant “lots of record”, not created by severance or by checkerboarding are also exempt from MDS 1 requirements. TAKE NOTICE that the last date for filing a notice of appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the by-law is the 12th day of June, 2014. A Notice of Appeal setting out the reasons for the appeal must be filed with the Clerk of the Township of Mapleton and accompanied by the appropriate fee as required by the Ontario Municipal Board. Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a zoning by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf. No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law was passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party. Dated this 23rd day of May, 2014. Barb Schellenberger, Deputy Clerk Corporation of The Township of Mapleton 7275 Sideroad 16, P.O.
