School boards hope to rescind all layoff, redundancy notices By Jaime Myslik GUELPH – Officials with both Wellington school boards are hopeful all teachers who received layoff and redundancy notices will have a placement come September. In April, the Upper Grand District School Board (UGDSB) announced 54 elementary teachers received layoff notices and 56 high school teachers received redundancy notices. However, on June 14 UGDSB spokesperson Megan Sicoli told the Advertiser that the board was able to “successfully recall all elemen-

Legion seeks veteran banner sponsors DRAYTON - The Drayton Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion is again offering the opportunity for families of veterans in the Drayton and Moorefield areas to purchase a memorial banner. “The goal of this initiative is to engage our local community in honouring and remembering our local Veterans, as these banners will be displayed in the fall alongside those already purchased last year,” states an email from Legion officials.
Memorial banner programs have become popular throughout Canada. Locally, in 2014 Legion Branch 296 in Harriston created street banners to honour veterans from that community. The Drayton Legion will again work with OnePromo. ca to bring banners to the towns of Drayton and Moorefield. Each banner will highlight a specific person and hang on light posts in the downtown area. Each banner will be dou-
ble-sided and in full-colour. Displayed on the banner will be a picture of the veteran, along with their name, the era of service (First/Second World War, Korean War, etc.) and the branch of the military, as well as the name of the banner sponsor. To sponsor a banner, contact Mary Miller at 519-6383324 or by email at marymillertime@gmail.com. To have the banners ready for Remembrance Day, all orders must be placed by July 31.
tary and secondary teachers and rescind all layoff notices.” She said the staff completed a line-by-line review of expenditures and revenue. “On May 27, notices were sent to all 56 secondary teachers who received layoff notices, stating that all layoff notices were rescinded,” she stated. “On May 31, board staff communicated to elementary schools that we were able to recall all 54 teachers who received layoff notices. “Although we were able to successfully recall all teachers this year, changes made
by the provincial government to class sizes ... will result in fewer and fewer funded teaching positions in the system over the next four years.” Tamara Nugent, director of education for the Wellington Catholic District School Board, said staff is working to bring back all 22 teachers who received layoff notices in April. “We remain hopeful that teachers will be recalled to positions,” she said on June 14. “At this time we are close to having all those who were declared redundant placed.”
Township approves CIP grant applications MAPLETON - Mayor Gregg Davidson and council are ecstatic about the success of the Mapleton Means Business, Community Improvement Plan (CIP). Grant applications were received starting at the end of April. The CIP was approved in the spring of 2017 and had not received much attention since. In a report to council on June 13, economic development officer Trish Walton expressed there is a need for grants and businesses are just starting to become aware
of them. As a result, the township will need to increase the 2019 CIP budget. There was a request to use the funds from the 2018 budget to accommodate the influx of applications so that more improvements can be made. Councillor Michael Martin stated, “It is nice to see some action happening regarding the CIP.” He added he is impressed with the number of current applications and looks forward to seeing the improvements come forward.
The recipients of the grant money included: - A la Mode cafe and ice cream parlor, for façade improvements; - Mapleton Flooring and Windows for signage; - Tri-Mech Inc. for signage; and - The Sign Depot for building improvements. The township is looking forward to reopening its current CIP to accept changes from the Wellington County CIP and also to include a few updates that will allow for more business opportunities within the township.
Youth intern to identify underrepresented youth HARRISTON - Mapleton, Minto and Wellington North have hired Erin Raftis to identify underrepresented youth in a new position: municipal youth intern. Over the course of the summer Raftis, 21, is expected to identify and reach out to youth aged 13 to 19 who are currently not a part of community clubs or organizations. The three municipalities will take her findings to create a strategy to better address youth needs. A resident of Harriston and current communications and multimedia studies student at McMaster University, Raftis said she is able to relate to youth in this role. “I love that it’s an oppor-
tunity to actually make good change in my community... Hopefully over the next couple of years I will be able to start something so that we have a really engaged community around here,” she said. Youth helping youth is exactly why the Rural Ontario Institute (ROI) established a grant and the internship, Raftis explained. “For the ROI, youth is 15 to 29, so they wanted someone in that age range to get youth researching about youth,” she said. The ROI developed the Municipal Internship Program to encourage municipalities to facilitate more youth engagement across rural Ontario. The program has provided grants to 10 rural communities for

summer interns. Wellington North was one of the successful ROI funding recipients and decided to use the grant in partnership with its neighbouring municipalities, Mapleton and Minto. Already Raftis has begun to tailor research to the three communities. In northern Wellington the focus is on ages 13 to 19, explained Minto marketing and community development coordinator Taylor Keunen. “We have never had this kind of position before,” she said. “Over the past three or four years, depending on the municipality, we’ve had youth action councils in place … but now we are just looking for that extra level to connect with those youth that we haven’t been able to.” Getting to the next level
means working against stigmas, Raftis told the Advertiser. “Some businesses definitely are taking youth seriously, but a lot of youth maybe even now just think that people aren’t taking them seriously,” she said. A month into the role, Raftis has spent much of her time getting a sense of each community and reaching out to service providers and organizations currently working with youth. She has spoken to classes at Norwell District Secondary School in Palmerston and Wellington Heights Secondary School in Mount Forest. Raftis said she has plans to provide youth with creative safe spaces to express their opinions. Some of her SEE RAFTIS » 4

LOVERS OF THE
BIRDS Northern mockingbird
This May Gary and I had a new bird visit frequently suet hanging by the window. It also combed the lawn for insects. Sadly, it stayed for only 4 days and was gone. Identification was made quickly, it was our first northern mockingbird. We watched its assertiveness with other birds, even the jays. ID: grey upperparts; dark wings with 2 thin white wing bars; long, dark tail with white outer tail feathers; light grey under parts. Dark eye-line. In flight: large white patch at the base of the black primaries. Juvenile: paler overall; spotted breast. Size: 25cm/11”; slimmer and longer-tailed than robin. Status: rare to locally uncommon breeder. Range north to Lake Huron, but expanding. Winter down to S. Mexico, W. Indies. Habitat: hedges, thickets, parks, gardens and orchards. Forms strong 1-2 acres territory. To draw them, set us a sheltered area. Nesting: large cup nest of twigs, leaves and grass built in shrub or small 3-10’ tree. Will defend nest from intruders by wing-flapping and pecking. Two broods of 4-5 eggs, 12 days incubation and another 12 days until fledged. Feeding: gleans vegetation and forages on ground for beetles, snakes, snails, spiders, ants, wasps and grasshoppers; berries and wild fruit. They will eat almost anything, so set out four-season suet, apples, baked goods, peanut butter, raisins etc. Flushes out prey on lawn by raising wings. Wintering birds favour and depend on Multiflora rosehips. It would be beneficial for birders to add these to their garden. Grape, mulberry, blackberry, sumac would also encourage these birds to stay. Voice: mimics other birds; harsh chair, chewk. Great repertoire of hundreds of songs and imitations of birds, animals and other sounds. Their beautiful song is richest on warm moonlit nights in spring where they may spend hours imitating other species. Song a varied, prolonged succession of notes and phrases, each repeated 6+ times. Resources: Birds of Ontario, Audubon, Stokes, Garden Birds books. These are such fascinating birds I would encourage extra Until next month, Susan Warren personal research.

Horticultural society hosts annual spring flower show By Bonnie Whitehead CLIFFORD - President Vic Palmer welcomed 35 members and guests to the Clifford and District Horticultural Society spring flower show on May 28 at the community hall in Clifford. He extended special greetings to past president Georgie Hutchison and her son Steve, and thanked them for their donation to the draw. After singing O Canada, Rosemary Rognvaldson showed slides of gardens she encountered on a trip to Iceland and parts of Europe. In Iceland, a humble community garden started in 1957 by four women has grown to seven acres. Views of the countryside, fjords, water-
falls, hot springs and volcanic activity also included sculptures and rich colours of a variety of flowers. In France, the reflecting pool and gardens along the pathway were a lovely welcoming sight. Her sister’s garden in Surrey was filled with iris, roses and lilacs. The Royal Horticultural Society garden included huge pools, walled gardens, pomegranate trees, curly pine trees, large plantings, archways of wisteria and multiple green houses. At a fort in Gilford, the former moat was home to tulips and the courtyard was planted in a formal design. Rognvaldson appreciated her technical assistant Al Spurgeon and his wife Linda

Mapleton council briefs
Township announces total property tax levy By Aryn Strickland MAPLETON – Property taxes to be levied and collected for the township in 2019 total $7.8 million. Staff announced the total at the May 28 council meeting, during which council approved a related tax rate bylaw. The township will also collect $10.1 million on behalf of the county and a further $3.5 million for the province’s education taxes. According to the report to council, the finance department anticipates invoicing and mailing notices for the two final 2019 tax installments in July. They are due on Sept. 27 and Nov. 28. New tiered response agreement Council authorized Mapleton Fire Chief Rick Richardson to sign a memorandum of understanding with Guelph Wellington Paramedic Service on May 28. The memorandum will revise a tiered response agreement signed in 2012 to state the fire department will only be sent “to the calls that they can make a difference,” states Richardson’s report. “I guess the biggest thing is if the ambulance is going to be delayed over 20 minutes, now we would be called. That time previously was 15 minutes,” Richardson told council. According to the report, when tiered by Cambridge
Central, the Mapleton Fire Department will continue to respond to calls for: - obvious immediate threat to life; - burns/electrocution/ inhalation; - near drowning; - vehicle collisions; - penetrating trauma. Mayor concerned about potential new kennel During a meeting on June 13, Mayor Gregg Davidson voiced major concern over a zoning amendment application that, if ultimately approved, would allow another licensed kennel to operate in the township. The proposed zoning amendment would permit a commercial kennel on a farm on the 4th line and Sideroad 18 in a building (325 square metres) to be built on the property. “This would make 13, I believe, registered kennels within our township that we have,” Davidson told council. “I know we have our bylaws ... I just have some great concerns about adding more and more kennels in our community.” Applicant Eli Brubacher told council the kennel would be used to breed St. Bernard dogs and while the bylaw would allow for up to 25 dogs in the kennel, he did not anticipate having that many. Councillor Dennis Craven said he agreed with Davidson’s concerns. “I agree with your comments sir, but do we have any
idea of what other municipalities of the same size would have ... Are we exceeding a reasonable amount or are we below accepted amounts?” asked Craven. County planner Jessica Rahim told council other lower tier municipalities have shown similar concerns and are considering updating their respective current kennel license bylaws. “The Township of Mapleton isn’t far off ... I can say that some of them have started to have discussions about looking at that bylaw again as to the permitted number of kennels, distance to neighbouring dwellings, things like that,” Rahim said. Councillor Paul Douglas reminded council of the benefits of permitting an licensed kennel. “At least the applicants are coming in to get a licensed kennel as opposed to ... having illegal kennels. At least this way we have access to visit them and make sure they are operating up to standard,” Douglas said. Still, Davidson said, the township already has a large number of dogs to contend with. “It’s just one of those concerns indicating that we have a lot of dogs and adding more dogs; there are a lot of dogs out there that people can adopt elsewhere,” Davidson said. “To me breeding more dogs when there is all kinds of dogs available kind of irks me a bit.”

CMHA hosting ‘Here4Hope’ community sessions By Chris Daponte WELLINGTON COUNTY - The Canadian Mental Health Association Waterloo Wellington (CMHA) is hosting three local discussions on suicide prevention. The “Here4Hope” sessions, scheduled for June 20 and 27 and July 4, are in part a reaction to recent events in and around Wellington County, but also an opportunity to provide an overview of the CMHA’s new Wellington Framework for Promoting Life and Preventing Suicide. “There’s a sense in the community that people are struggling with what’s going on,” said CMHA communications specialist Megan Brady. She added everyone is welcome to the three events:
- June 20, from 6 to 7:30pm, at the Centre Wellington Community Sportsplex in Fergus; - June 27, from 6 to 7:30pm, at the Italian Canadian Club in Guelph; and - July 4, from 6 to 7:30pm, at the Mount Forest Sportsplex. Facilitator Cecilia Marie Roberts said the sessions will include a general discussion on suicide, including signs of distress and where to get help, as well an update on the Wellington Framework for Promoting Life and Preventing Suicide. “We’re really trying to mobilize the community around suicide prevention,” said Roberts. The event is a follow-up to November’s the Here4Hope mental health discussion in
Fergus featuring TSN personalities Michael Landsberg and Jennifer Hedger. The framework Roberts explained she was hired on a six-month contract in January specifically to work on the CMHA’s Wellington Framework for Promoting Life and Preventing Suicide. The framework involves gathering research, both statistical and empirical, and then making recommendations on areas of focus over the next one to three years. Roberts noted some of the initiatives, which require community partners, are already underway, while others are still being developed. One of the aims of the community sessions is to educate residents on that work and

EDITORIAL By Chris Daponte
Mapleton memories Perusing the pages of this week’s Community News was a little bit like a walk down memory lane. The first thing that caught my eye was the photos of the 20th anniversary of the Drayton Youth Centre. I vividly recall vising the centre for the first time many years ago - my best estimation is about 13 or so - to interview officials for an article in this newspaper. Arriving at the centre, two things quickly became very clear: the adults in charge were dedicated volunteers striving to do good in their community; and the youths visiting the centre appreciated having somewhere positive to spend their time. This was before the proliferation of smart phones, and much has changed locally as well since that time. But I suspect those changes make the centre even more important for local youths, and it was great to see volunteerism is alive and well at this vital community hub. It was also heartening to see Mapleton council last week approve four Community Improvement Plan (CIP) grants, allowing local businesses to complete various projects. Though it may not have been called a CIP at the time, I recall sitting through many council and staff discussions over a decade ago about ways to improve building facades in the downtown areas. Thankfully, township officials have not lost sight of that work. While some residents may question the use of taxpayer dollars for such programs, what can’t be denied is the boost to the local economy and community that these business improvements provide. Another memory from years ago as a rookie reporter on the Mapleton beat is processing photos from the Custom Rodders Annual Car Show in Moorefield. It’s encouraging to see this community event, the proceeds from which have benefitted local causes, carry on. Whether or not you’re a car person, there’s just something nostalgic about the sights and sounds of a car show - and particularly those run by such a close-knit and community-minded group.
Raftis hired as youth intern to identify underrepresented youth » FROM PAGE 1
ideas include chalkboard walls where youth can draw what they are feeling, and interactive community maps where youth can identify where they like to hangout. “Youth aren’t necessarily going to want to sit down and answer questions,” she said. “We have been trying to take a really informal approach and just ask them their opinions because the commitment is hard or there are reasons they can’t get places.” She added, “It’s kind of interesting the anonymity about it ... People don’t feel pressured that this is my
words going out there. They can feel free to ... leave their honest idea and not feel like anyone is going to blame them for it.” At the end of August Raftis will present a report and a youth engagement strategy to each of the three municipal councils. For now her focus is meeting with as many youth as she can. “I just want people to, if they see me in the street, come up to me and talk to me about ideas,” said Raftis. “They can reach out to me on my Instagram page @north4youth so if they want to direct message me and share ideas or answer our polls.”

Four new businesses open in Mapleton MAPLETON - Township officials have been cutting ribbons and celebrating with new businesses all over this township. It has been a “grand” time this month, with openings and open houses - and there are more to come. June 1 The Pretty Penny, an upscale women’s consignment and gift boutique located in Moorefield, hosted its grand opening on June 1.

June 8 The Corner Krest Hair Salon and Barber opened its doors and invited everyone to see on June 8 the transformed space at 24 Wellington Street S. The business offers a wide variety of hair treatments. June 13 The Sign Depot, which opened in Mapleton in November, waited until last week to celebrate. With 25 years of experience in branding and sign making, the business offers all kinds of work, from small cottage signs to large corporations and gateway signage. June 14 Core Fuels cut the ribbon on its new facility just outside of Alma last week. This family-run business has been operating in Stratford since 1972 and recently took an expansion to Mapleton.

Request for bus parking dropped By Patrick Raftis MINTO - A request allowing a bus company to use the parking lot at the HarristonMinto Community Centre has been dropped. Cook Bus Lines, which provides transportation services for elementary schools and the high school in the Town of Minto, asked the town for permission to park four buses at the facility on weekdays and weekends, recreation services manager Matt Lubbers stated in a May 7 report to council.

By Laurie Langdon
The following is part of a series - My Father’s Heart in the 10 Commandments. My Father’s Heart in the Sixth Commandment You shall not murder. You shall not murder. (Exodus 20:13) Types of Murder There are a number of ways you can actually commit murder without physically killing someone. - Slander: taking away or undermining another person’s reputation by causing someone else to think a little less of that person or to lose
respect for them in any way; - Mistreatment: speaking or acting abusively toward someone so that their selfworth is challenged or their image of themselves is weakened; - Neglect: failing to provide safety or sustenance to someone when it is in my capacity to do so, or withholding anything good from someone who would benefit from it; - Self-preservation: pursuing negative self-love or self-gratification so that I am so focused on getting my own needs fulfilled that the needs of others are ignored; - Inattentiveness: being insensitive or unresponsive to the opportunities for redemptive love that come
when someone asks for help or expresses a need; - Separation: breaking off or allowing a relationship to break apart because I am too proud to apologize or accept ownership of the fact that I contributed to its demise. Give Life I, your heavenly Father, am calling you to compliment the life and efforts of others. Do everything in your power to support and encourage everything good in them and everything good they are trying to do. Do all you can to bolster the reputation of others, and help everyone you can to see them in the best possible light. Speak well of others, so that their status in the mind of those who hear
what you say about them becomes greater. Speak so that what you say enlarges the reputation of others. Treat others with the utmost respect and dignity, even when it is an inconvenience or a disadvantage to you. Speak and act cordially toward people so that their self-worth is enhanced or their image of themselves is heightened. Because of your influence they will become stronger, run faster, climb higher and do greater. You are life and fervour to them. Offer safety and nourishment to anyone when it is in your ability to do so. Be a shelter to the shelter-less, be a place of refuge to those in danger, and give fair consid-
eration to those fleeing injustice. Feed the hungry, nurture the weak and help make sick people whole again. If you know that something you have will benefit someone else, share it. Give time, resources and effort to anyone and everyone. Live to defend the cause of the unrepresented and satisfy the needs of the needy. Practice affirmative self-love. In so doing you become focused on fulfilling the needs of others. They become your neighbour, to be loved as you love yourself. Be thoughtful towards everyone, whether you like or do not like them, or whether you agree or disagree with them. No matter how you clash or collide, remain
aware that they are precious people created by me, your Father God, and in my image. When someone asks for help or expresses a need, become the channel of my redemptive love to them. Endeavour to bring unity to all my relationships, never allow your own preferences to stand in the way of any bond, and take responsibility for every role you fill. Be confident that it is in your power to manage all conflict, bring grace to every conversation, and live peaceably with all people. You cannot murder, because you carry the life of Christ, my Son, in you. So be the life of Christ, and dispense the life of Christ – everywhere.

CONFIRMING ATTENDANCE IN ADVANCE APPRECIATED.
CLIFFORD - Seniors Centre for Excellence program coordinator Helen Edwards welcomed 40 seniors to the lunch and learn session on May 17 at Knox United Church here. Lunch of baked tenderloin pork, scalloped potatoes, mixed vegetables, spinach salad and French rhubarb pie was served by Donna Gingrich, Edwards and Mary Cain. Emily Foster, a programming assistant with the Wellington County Museum and Archives, took everyone down memory lane by revisiting the “fabulous ‘50s” and “sensational ‘60s.” The topic generated a great deal of humour and stories as people reminisced about the good old days. Iconic fashion trended to bold colours, shorter hemlines, poodle skirts and hot pants, and the beehive was a popular hairdo. Wedding dresses changed over the years, but not the groom’s suit. The golden age of televi-

The Queen’s coronation in 1953, the Kennedy assassination in ‘63, and the moon landing in ’69 were among the highlights of the period. There are photos to prove Pierre Elliot Trudeau was spotted in Guelph. Sports teams played with

less than ideal protective gear and playing table top hockey became a favourite pastime. The Clifford Swing Skirts dominated the field and drew crowds of 1,500 spectators to their ball games. Those years weren’t all bobby socks and roses, especially when Hurricane Hazel touched down in 1954, causing flooding and an outbreak of jaundice.
On a brighter note, Foster brought along some hats, handbags and scarves from the museum collection. She passed around a pill box hat, a police cap, and an evening clutch large enough for a compact of face powder, a tube of lipstick and a handkerchief. To sign up for the next program call 519-638-1000. The meal costs $12 but the program to follow is free.
