Spaling brothers to launch hockey school in Drayton this summer by Patrick Raftis DRAYTON - Homegrown hockey stars Nick and Nathan Spaling will be offering a hockey school at the local arena this summer. Nick, a veteran National Hockey League winger, coming off his first season with the Pittsburgh Penguins, said the school will be held at the PMD arena from Aug. 24 to 28. The experience will be open to Novice to Pee Wee age players and focus on skills training. “Just a lot of fundamentals,” Nick told the Community News in a telephone interview. “Individual skills, at that age, are what we’re going to focus on.” While the focus will be onice, the school will also include an off-ice educational component. “A few talks, a few seminars after each skate, introducing different aspects of playing hockey and things you’ve got to focus on such as nutrition, training, maybe some sessions
Star instructors - Brothers Nick and Nathan Spaling will be launching a not-for-profit hockey school in Drayton in August. ABOVE: Nick is coming off his first season with the Pittsburgh Penguins after beginning his NHL career with the Nashville Predators. RIGHT: Nathan, right, captained the University of Ontario Institute of Technology Ridgebacks for several years while attending the school. submitted photos for parents … about having a plan, or the best route for going as far as you can in hockey.” While Nick has forged a seven-year career as a professional and has been a fulltime NHLer for the past five
years, including four with the Nashville Predators before last summer’s trade to Pittsburgh, Nathan has also played plenty of high level hockey. Both played minor hockey locally before moving on
to play at the AAA level in Waterloo and with the HuronPerth Lakers. Nathan played a year with the OHL’s Guelph Storm, getting into 19 games in the 2003-04 season, before joining Nick on the Cherrey
Cup-winning Listowel Cyclones Junior B squad the following season. “That was a pretty fun year, to be able to play with him and then to win it was pretty exciting,” Nick recalls. The brothers travelled separate hockey paths from that point, as Nick moved on to the OHL’s Kitchener Rangers and was drafted by the Predators in the second round of the 2007 draft. Nathan continued to play Junior B in Thorold for two more years before enrolling in a criminology course at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. At UOIT he captained the school’s hockey team for several years and was named male athlete of the year in 2009-10, when he recorded eight goals and 20 assists in a 28-game season. More recently, while Nick was plying his trade at the NHL level, Nathan skated in intramural games at the University of Windsor, where
he graduated with a law degree this spring. Nick is back at his offseason home in Waterloo after the Penguins’ frustrating firstround playoff elimination at the hands of the New York Rangers. “The year was a little disappointing with how it finished. We had a lot of injuries. We had a lot of different things that didn’t seem to stack up in our favour. When it came down to it, we just didn’t get it done,” said Nick, who had a goal and an assist in the five-game series after recording nine goals and 18 assists in 82 regular season games. While they didn’t hoist the cup this year, Nick is still relishing the move to a hockey hotbed with the chance to play alongside some of the league’s biggest stars, including Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. “The big change is going into one of the bigger hockey markets in the league and playContinued on page 5
Ontario PC leader stresses opportunity for business during local feed mill visit

by Patrick Raftis WALLENSTEIN - Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown talked about the need for business-friendly policies after touring a local feed mill on June 18. “We want to see businesses like this grow. The 200 employees that work here, these are good paying jobs and we want the conditions in which a business like this can succeed,” said Brown after touring Wallenstein Feed and
Supply with Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece. Brown, a 36-year-old MP from Barrie who won a leadership race over Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott in May, said high energy prices are among the drags on business in Ontario. With hydro rates that are “double that of Manitoba, sometimes triple that of Quebec, it puts Ontario businesses at a competitive disadvantage … and it’s one of
the reasons that we’ve got to get our energy policy right,” Brown said. “The fact that Ontario’s going to see a 42 per cent increase over the next five years under the Liberal government should be alarming to all of us.” With the next election four years away, Brown, who does not yet have a seat in the Ontario legislature, said he will have a number of areas of Continued on page 5
Tournament to assist Mapleton family by Caroline Sealey CAMBRIDGE - A nearby community is offering residents of the Mapleton area an opportunity to continue helping a local family whose son is battling leukemia. On July 25 the 4th Annual Kylie’s Care Golf Tournament will be held on the links at Brookfield Golf Club in Cambridge. The initial purpose of the tournament was to raise funds to help with Kylie Hass’s care after she was diagnosed at age two with leukemia. In 2014, after two years of chemotherapy treatments, Ky-
lie received her final treatment and has been cancer-free for one year. The tournament continues and this year the committee has welcomed Evan and the Conway family of Drayton into their extended family. Three-year-old Evan was diagnosed in 2014 with the same leukemia as Kylie and he continues treatment on a weekly basis at McMaster Children’s Hospital in Hamilton. “My granddaughter Kylie beat this cancer and we understand the struggle Evan’s family is facing as they fight this battle together.

The committee is looking for golfers, hole sponsors and donations of prizes. Tax receipts will be issued with donations going to Ronald McDonald House, where the Hass and Conway families stayed during their time at McMaster Hospital. “We wish another family did not have to endure the pain Continued on page 5

Students: Tree planting program provides benefits for community, environment
by Nicole Walker and Taylor Stewart MINTO - The CELP environmental program at Norwell District Secondary School recently conducted research into the environmental, health and economic benefits of trees.
The evidence is clear: the Town of Minto as well as individual property owners need to plant more trees to build a more sustainable community. On our school grounds alone, we collected data from 19 trees and have discovered

that trees provide more than just shade on a hot summer day. They also provide many cost saving benefits that all Minto residents should consider. Trees not only provide benefits for the environment, but also for property owners. According to our data, the 19 recorded trees save approximately $1,000 per year in energy costs for our school. Considering these are just a few of the many trees within our community, the total cost savings over 25 to 50 years would be substantial. By continuing to plant trees as a community we would be providing many environmental as well as economic benefits. In the heat of summer the trees provide a natural shade and

Charity car wash on July 18 will benefit Marlins, Children’s Wish Foundation PALMERSTON - A local business is offering area residents a chance to meet an NHL star, get their vehicle washed and support a great cause - all in one day. On July 18, from 9am to 2pm, Krown Rust Control on Main Street in Palmerston is operating a charity car wash. The event is part of Krown’s second annual company-wide Wash for a Wish event. For $10 participants will receive a hand car wash at any Krown Rust Control location, with 100% of proceeds going to the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada, helping make dreams come true for Canadian children. At the Krown in Palmerston Pittsburgh Penguins NHL star Nick Spaling, a Drayton native, will be on hand to greet visitors. Members of the Palmerston Marlins Squirts ball team will be washing cars and local Krown owners Fred and Cheryl Donkersgoed will donate $10
for each vehicle washed to the team. Palmerston Scouts will be operating a food booth at the site during the event and the Donkersgoeds are inviting anyone who wants to set up a table for fundraising or promotional purposes to do so at no charge. “All we ask is that they tell people to come,” the couple stated in an email. Company-wide, Krown raised $30,000 for the Children’s Wish Foundation
through last year’s inaugural event. Locally, Krown Palmerston washed 37 vehicles, exceeding its original goal of 30. “We want to make it better in 2015,” the Donkersgoeds state, noting they hope to give last year’s top fundraiser, a Sturgeon Falls dealership where 150 vehicles were washed, a run for the money. “Probably a tall order, but we are willing to take on the challenge,” they said.

Happy Canada Day! The Drayton fairgounds will be the place to be in Mapleton on July 1. The community, known throughout the area for spectacular Canada Day bashes, looks set to raise the bar even further with this year’s celebration. The fun begins at 6pm on July 1, with a chicken barbecue dinner (pre-purchased tickets only). Family games and activities will begin at 6pm, including a dunk tank and bouncy castle. New activities have been added regularly for several weeks now to a list that has grown to include a water slide, plunger plop, frisbee golf and even “jousting.” Word has it Mayor Neil Driscoll himself will be leading a children’s bicycle parade at 8pm, and many are no doubt curious to see what form of conveyance his Worship has secured for the occasion. In addition to the mayor, anyone 12 or under is encouraged to decorate their bicycle and line up at 7:45pm to be in the parade around the park. Local music will be on the grandstand stage at 8pm and the Lucas Rogerson Band will perform at 9pm leading up to a fireworks display, always among the best in the region, at 10pm. It’s difficult to imagine a better way to celebrate an amazing country than spending some time with friends and neighbours at a community celebration. Happy Canada Day to all! Patrick Raftis

And finally, a big thankyou to the volunteer firefighters who donated their time to set up and supervise the running of the event. Our profit from this fundraiser was approximately $2,500. These funds will pay for special events for our youth such as swimming trips, movie nights, bowling evenings, etc. The Drayton Youth Centre has been providing a safe haven for many Mapleton youth for 16 years and could not continue without the faithful support of volunteer supervisors and donations. Its continuing existence is evidence that this village is a great place to raise a child.

I look at the cap and trade tax grab ... the last thing we need in Ontario right now is another tax grab.” Wallenstein Feed and Supply general manager Rick Martin said company officials had a good discussion with Brown about agricultural issues. “So next time someone in Toronto says something about Ontario agriculture, he might know a little more about the truth,” said Martin.

Mapleton-Minto 81’s forward Zach Graham, a Palmerston native and another former Listowel Cyclone, who played four years of NCAA hockey with Adrian College in Michigan, will also be on the ice at the hockey school. “I think it will be a good mix of people there for kids to take lessons from, and take whatever they can from the week,” Nick stated. The Spalings are setting up a not-for-profit corporation to run the school on a charitable basis. More information on registration will be released as things are finalized. “We are very fortunate that Drayton has been supportive of the idea and we are looking to deliver a special experience for young players in the area,” states Nick.

No need to go to church? “You don’t have to go to church to be a Christian!” “I hate it when people act all goody-goody on Sunday then they assume a different role on Monday.” “Define church. Then tell me why I have to go to a building.” “The Sabbath isn’t holy
anymore.” It was a good and brave discussion. Being a bit of a nonconformist myself when it comes to organized religion steeped in tradition, I was seeing some of the points of my friends as we dove into the dialog about the need to go to church. The biggie for me was the comment one person made, “Show me the scripture that commands believers to go to church every Sunday.” I knew there was one in
Mohlecrest Construction Ltd. Jordan Mohle E.T.

mohleconstruction@gmail.com
Hebrews (10:25) where it says we are not to forsake meeting with one another or assembling together and we are to keep encouraging one another in the faith. But my friend is right. It says nothing about going to church every week, although some may argue that the assembling part means that. Our discussion was a friendly one. We debated back and forth in love, sharing thoughts and experiences. We parted amicably and of course, as is usual with my questioning mind, I started to think more about what we talked about. Admittedly, I sometimes do “home church” on a Sunday. Not because I am ticked off or put out, but more because sometimes I feel the Lord tells me to just be still and listen and go be by yourself. I don’t do well with distractions so sometimes I need the quiet. My Bible is open; the preacher preaches via satellite from
Edmonton, and more often than not I receive a word from God – usually one that convicts me. I am free to sing, and make whatever kind of joyful noise I feel led to do, unto the Lord. My friend, a pastor’s wife who is on fire for the Lord, told me that the only way there would be a perfect church is if there was one person, and even then that person would find something to grumble to God about. I agree. When we are dealing with people there will always be issues. But I suppose it doesn’t mean we sacrifice our time of worship with God because of grudges and disagreements. So I go to church most Sundays. I go because it really is good to be filled with the Word of God through spiritual song and scripture; through sermons and teachings; through fellowship with others; through personal heart worship. There is something worthy and uplift-
over naturally when I leave the church building. Colossians 3:16 - Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. “Define church. Then tell me why I have to go to a building.” The building is just that – brick and mortar. Yet if we, as believers, are to follow the example of Christ, we need to remember that He visited the brick and mortar synagogue regularly. Luke 4:16 - And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. “The Sabbath isn’t holy anymore.” That is because we messed up, not God. There is always opportunity for a new beginning. The choice is ours.
ing to be around fellow believers and to be encouraged in the faith. But I am wary of just doing it out of habit, expectation or tradition. All of those are good in their own right, but true motivation has to come from the heart and soul of who I am as a believer. Then I need to think on the comments and questions of my friends. “You don’t have to go to church to be a Christian!” No, but as a Christian we are drawn to places where we can assemble with those of like mind/ soul. Hebrews 10:25 - Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. “I hate it when people act all goody-goody on Sunday then they assume a different role on Monday.” Let that be a lesson to live a life of gratitude and thankfulness that spills

by Sandy Turner DRAYTON - Summer is here and it’s time to get moving. Most of us are more active during this time of year compared to the winter months. With the warmer weather, longer days and more sunshine, we start to feel better physically and mentally. There is a strong connection between how we feel and think, our bodies and how active we are. Our behaviour is directly linked to our thoughts, how we think about fitness and exercise often determines if we will choose an active lifestyle. The most common pitfall we have when committing to being more active is “all-or-nothing” thinking. For example, we find out the latest guidelines for how much exercise we should be doing and tell ourselves that
we will never be able to do that much in a week. So, we decide to put it off because it seems that the little we could start with wouldn’t be worthwhile. Another example is, we commit to exercising five days and manage to do this for a week, but then are too sore the following week, so we take a day off, which then turns into two or three. Then decide we have lost this week and will start fresh next week. Such thinking will cause us to focus on what we are not doing rather than what we are doing and can create guilt, frustration and disappointment. These feelings and emotions will then overpower any motivation we may have had to be more active and decrease our confidence levels dramatically. Learning to think more positively can be the first step

towards changing this type of thinking pattern and becoming an active self-manager of our health. We all know the healthy behaviours we should be doing daily but sometimes it is the little voice in our heads that stops us. Begin by noticing these thoughts and the vocabulary we use when thinking about exercise. Be sure to catch words like: always, never, terrible or awful as these tend to describe an extreme end of the spectrum. Next, change these thoughts or sayings into more positive ones. This can be difficult, especially at first, but look for ways to make these thoughts more rational and helpful. Often, all-or-nothing thinking is preventing us from getting what we really want. Try to have some ready-made thoughts on hand to use when feeling negative about exercise. Ideas like “Anything is better than nothing at all”, or “I’ll start small and see what happens” can be more motivating than “I’ll never be able to do that!” Be sure to rehearse these sayings so that they will come more naturally during real-life situations. Finally, with practice, these thoughts often reflect what we
are feeling all along. Changing the way we think is like changing any habit. We must be deliberate at first, but this will become easier the more we do it. Be sure to make a commitment for at least the next few days or weeks before deciding if it is working or not. When starting any exercise program, be realistic and start slowly and progress gradually. Always include a warm-up of light intensity movements to prepare the body for exercise. Don’t focus too much on intensity, a lower pace for longer is often better than faster for a shorter period of time. Include a cool down period of light intensity movements to return the heart rate and blood pressure to normal. Finally, finish off with some stretching to reward all the parts of the body we exercised. The moral of the story is: Everyone is only one workout away from a great day.

pact on our community would be meaningful and long lasting. Our school will continue to plant more trees and we challenge the Town of Minto to begin creating a plan in order to increase the total tree cover in our community. A good plan of action would be to plant five trees for every single one cut down. If the Town of Minto as well as individual property owners take action the overall outcome of a tree planting program over the next 25-plus years will be substantial.
