Council switches consultants on CIP by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - The township is switching consultants for the final stages of its underdevelopment Community Improvement Plan (CIP). At the May 24 meeting, council approved a recommendation from CAO Brad McRoberts to transfer the remaining work on the CIP to Vitality Planning and discontinue the relationship with Meridian Planning on the project. In November, council approved a proposal from Meridian Planning for the CIP development for $24,580 plus HST. Since then, McRoberts explained in a report, township staff met with Meridian last December to conduct a project kick off meeting and to tour the municipality to gather background information. In February, the township and Meridian hosted an initial stakeholder consultation. Township staff are currently reviewing a Phase One options memo with the consultant and “will ultimately be presenting this report to council for consideration,” the report notes. McRoberts explained township staff have become aware “the key person responsible for the project and with all the Community Improvement Plan experience” is no longer with Meridian Planning and the firm

“does not have alternate staff with equivalent or better qualifications. “Township staff are of the opinion that Meridian Planning no longer represents its qualifications or key personnel” as outlined in their proposal and “have not met nor are they able to meet their obligations.” McRoberts and economic development coordinator Jaclyn Dingwall have consulted with Nancy Reid of Vitality Planning and Nick McDonald of Meridian Planning on next steps to proceed with development of the CIP. The report states McDonald indicated he understood the township’s concern “and did not object to the transition of the project” from Meridian to Vitality Planning. McRoberts indicated the proposed cost for the completion of the project is $9,982 and the most recent invoice from Meridian Planning to the end of April 30, indicated $10,760 was remaining in the budget. “Vitality Planning will reach out to all involved stakeholders and advise them of the transfer of the project,” the report concludes. “I think the report is self explanatory,” McRoberts told councillors, who then approved the recommendation without discussion.

Spaling reaches Stanley Cup final with Sharks SAN JOSE - Drayton native Nick Spaling is set to participate in his first Stanley Cup final series. Spaling’s San Jose Sharks reached the final after eliminating the St. Louis Blues in six games in the NHL’s Western

Conference final on May 25. Spaling, who began the season with the Toronto Maple Leafs, joined the Sharks in a Feb. 22 trade. Spaling and defenceman Roman Polak went to San Jose in exchange for two second-round draft selections

(2017 and 2018) and minorleaguer Raffi Torres. Prior to the trade, Spaling had recorded one goal and six assists in 35 games with Toronto. During the rest of the regular season in San Jose he added two goals and four

assists in 23 games. Spaling has played in all 18 playoff games with the Sharks, recording an assist and six penalty minutes and playing a prominent role on the team’s penalty killing unit. Continued on page 2

Mapleton family loses 40 cattle as barn destroyed by fire on May 30 by Caroline Sealey MAPLETON - About 40 cattle perished in a fire that destroyed a dairy barn near Rothsay on Monday. Fire crews from Mapleton Township and the Town of Minto, along with Wellington County OPP, paramedics and Hydro One crews responded to a barn fire at 8550 Concession 12 in Mapleton at 11:37am on May 30. Mapleton Fire Chief Rick Richardson said, “Upon arrival at the scene, the barn and a workshop located nearby were fully engulfed in flames. The owners of the property were not on the scene at that point. “We focused on saving the remaining structures and Hydro One cut hydro service to the property.” Concession 12 was closed to traffic between Sideroads 3 and 6 by the OPP to allow for a steady stream of tankers from both fire departments to deliver water to the scene as firefighters continued to battle the blaze. Neighbours rallied around

Barn blaze - Local firefighters responded to a barn fire in Mapleton on May 30.

Party with a purpose - A “House Swarming Party” at the home of new Drayton resident Nadina Mackie Jackson on May 23 was attended by a large number of community members and visitors. The event was themed: Home is the Story You Tell and donations were collected in support of Syrian Families of Drayton and for the Fort McMurray disaster. Mackie Jackson is the most widely recorded Canadian solo bassoonist in history. She works a lot with new musicians and has toured Canada and the U.S., including tours with Canadian folk musician Valdy. She teaches at the University of Toronto and the Royal Conservatory of Music’s Glenn Gould School and is the founder of The Council of Canadian Bassoonists, a charity dedicated to helping low income students attain their highest ambitions as bassoonists. Mackie Jackson says she plans to host additional similar events in the future. LEFT: Violinists Rebecca MacLeod and Ema Nikolovska, bassoonist and party host Nadina Mackie Jackson, violist Rory McLeod and cellist Bryan Lu performed Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto #14 in C Minor and Mathieu Lussier’s Le Dernier Chant d’Ophelie. CENTRE: Drayton resident and historian Jean Campbell gave a brief history of Mackie Jackson’s new home, located at 16 Spring Street, a former Salvation Army Citadel, Pentecostal Tabernacle and dance studio.

Hanna and Bernie Veld demonstrated how to make a “living easel” at the April 2000 meeting. On April 29, 2000 The Budding Buddies junior horticulturists group held a meeting with 25 members in attendance, along with leaders Sandra Duncan and Monica Doerr. Each member chose from one of three garden plans to plant that year; a cutting garden, vegetable and herb garden or a container garden. The industrious group held a plant sale on June 2 of the same year. The 2000 flower show fea-

Much has been made of the Ontario Liberals’ alleged plan to “ban” natural gas heating in homes as part of a yet-to-be released climate change strategy. Environment minister Glen Murray refused to confirm a Globe and Mail report indicating the province would spend $7 billion over four years to reduce its carbon footprint, partly by phasing out residential natural gas heating and greatly increasing the number of electric vehicles on the road. The newspaper said it obtained a copy of a 57-page Climate Change Action Plan that calls on the province to phase out natural gas for heating, currently used in 76 per cent of Ontario homes. The plan is said to require that all new homes built in Ontario in 2030 or later be heated without the use of fossil fuels. But Murray said this year’s budget committed the government to extending natural gas to rural Ontario, and insisted it would still be an option for home heating. Premier Kathleen Wynne went further, flat out denying the report and calling it false. Regardless of the denials, critics ranging from natural gas producers to political opponents and municipal politicians have been quick to denounce the very idea of scaling back on gas as a heating source. Such a move would drastically increase the cost of electricity to unaffordable levels, they contend. While it would be no surprise to learn the denials are standard political backpedaling, a couple of since-released studies suggest the Liberals might have no need for such drastic measures anyway. The supply-and-demand economy, combined with a wider understanding of climate realities, should eventually take over as the driving forces behind a move away from fossil fuels. According to a draft report from a federal government thinktank obtained by CBC News (perhaps the obvious security issues surrounding the government policy-drafting process should be the subject of a future editorial), “It is increasingly plausible to foresee a future in which cheap renewable electricity becomes the world’s primary power source and fossil fuels are relegated to a minority status.” This document was produced by Policy Horizons Canada, a little-known government organization which provides mediumterm policy advice to the federal bureaucracy. The reports urges caution on long-term investments in pipelines and other oil and gas infrastructure. Such investments “could be at high risk of becoming economically inviable as prices in renewable electricity further decline,” it warns. “At a minimum, this plausible future would suggest that governments ensure that the risks of further investments in oil and gas infrastructure be borne by private interests rather than taxpayers,” the report states. The report also forecasts growth in the world’s demand for electricity - particularly renewable-based electricity will outpace other energy types, while the costs of its production and storage fall faster than previously believed. Combine this with revelations in a new report published (apparently intentionally this time) in the journal Nature Climate Change on May 30 projecting that burning up all remaining fossil fuels would “scorch” the Earth and render parts of it “unlivable,” and perhaps we can make a case to at least not dismiss in a huff of indignation all alternatives to the status quo. The study suggests burning the last drop of oil would lead to a world on average 9.5 degrees Celsius hotter than today. That’s a frightening scenario given current international efforts aimed at limiting the increase to two degrees are widely considered inadequate. So, assuming that by 2030 natural gas won’t even be the most affordable option, and burning it all up may kill off more people than not burning it will allegedly impoverish, its hard to argue that refusing to look at the wider picture doesn’t make us, at least figuratively, “dinosaurs.” And we know how things turned out for them.

tured the addition of a photography category. The society celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2001 with the theme Bridging the Years. The planning committee was chaired by Dr. Betty Fretz. Pauline Baer was flower show chairperson with Clara Bauman and Barb Schuetz in charge of hall decorations. The membership decided on a rainbow colour scheme for the event. Clara Bauman made arrangements for guest speaker John Peat to share his knowledge of day lilies with the group. Jean Dobben sent submissions to the local newspaper, the Community News. Anniversary celebrations were held on June 26 with Mayor Carl Hall bringing greetings. The celebratory anniversary cake was baked and decorated by Hannah and Bernie Veld. Door prize winners included Jean Kiers, dried flower arrangement; Lukas Dobben, garden sprinkler from Culp’s; and Erla Dickinson, a perennial plant. The membership decided in February 2002 that all members must wear their name tags at meetings and would be charged 25 cents if the tags were taken home. In August 2002, Frank Nibourg obtained the most points in the vegetable category of the summer show.

Fire destroys barn in Mapleton

FROM PAGE ONE the family home, garage and implement shed and remained on the scene dowsing hot spots for some time. Richardson was at the scene Tuesday morning with insurance and Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs representatives. “At this point there is no damage estimate available and no cause, as the buildings were fully engulfed upon our arrival,” Richardson said. “The Ministry of Agriculture will oversee the disposal of the animals’ remains. There is no hydro service to the property but I believe the family stayed in their home last night.”

Pfeffer’s Flour and Feed Mill (photo circa 1900) The teamster on the street in front of the mill is Joseph McCrea, drawing freight to the railway station, shown in the upper right background. In 1893 George Pfeffer came to Drayton from Ayton. In 1894 he and Amos Hilborn built a large threestorey flour and feed mill on Wellington Street North. In 1901 Hilborn left the partnership and Fred Wetzel became his son-in-law’s partner. The mill was powered by a steam horizontal engine. A saw mill

was added to the operation when George Pfeffer’s son Vernal replaced his grandfather in the partnership.

George Pfeffer died in 1935 and the property was sold. The buildings were moved to Arthur. Lomer

Samis purchased the property and built the existing house in 1968. submitted by Jean Campbell

In it together How often do we expect perfection out of each other? How often do we expect perfection out of ourselves? I like to think that I expect more out of myself than I do out of others. Not that I think that others are not capable, but I challenge myself to continue to grow, learn and better myself. I find I can get stuck sometimes thinking poorly about someone else because of what they did or didn’t do. Then, I realize too late that I had done or hadn’t done the same thing only a little while ago. How quickly we can forget our own transgressions, when expecting our friends, family and co-workers to be perfect all the time. I am reminded of a story I heard about Mahatma Gandhi. A mother came to Gandhi telling him that her son was eating too much sugar, and she would like Gandhi to tell her son to stop eating so much sugar. Gandhi told the mother to come back in two weeks. The mother was perplexed but listened to the instructions, went away for two weeks and then brought her son back

to Gandhi. Again she asked Gandhi to tell her son to stop eating so much sugar. Gandhi looked at her son and said “Stop eating so much sugar.” The mother thanked Gandhi but before she left her curiosity got the better of her. She had to ask why Gandhi hadn’t just told her son that two weeks ago when they had come the first time. Gandhi looked at her and said, “Two weeks ago when you were here, I was still eating sugar.” I really like this story. It doesn’t matter to me if it actually happened or not, as that is not the point of these kind of stories. When Jesus told the parable about the prodigal son, I very much doubt the first question he received was “But who was the family?” It doesn’t matter. The point of the story is not if it actually happened. The point is the message that the story brings. In our day and age we get so caught up in history as fact and that something has to have happened in order for it to be true. We forget that there are many different layers of truth. Something does not have to have happened for us to find some truth or meaning in it.

This story about Gandhi doesn’t have to have happened for me to see the message that the story tells. When I remember that story I am reminded that I need to be careful not to ask someone else to do something that I am not willing to do myself. Which brings me to a second story. A disciple came riding on his donkey to the cabin of his teacher. He dismounted and walked right inside the cabin without tying up the donkey outside. He said to his teacher, trying to show his faith, “So great is my faith and trust in God, that I have left my ride outside untied. I am convinced that God protects the interests of those who follow and love God.” “Go tie your donkey you fool!” Came the reply from the teacher. “God cannot be bothered doing something for you which you are perfectly capable of doing for yourself.” We are all teachers, students, lifelong learners, and givers of wisdom. We are ultimately responsible for our own spiritual well being. We need to challenge ourselves compassionately, and without judgment, and try our best to do the same with others as well.
