Integrity commissioner to be appointed in response to harassment complaints by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - As the result of harassment allegations, council here has adopted an official code of conduct for municipal councillors and is planning to appoint an integrity commissioner to enforce the code. Council adopted the code of conduct at the June 25 meeting and it is anticipated a recommendation to appoint a commissioner will be dealt with at the regular meeting on July 9. CAO Patty Sinnamon told the Community News that development of the code, which is effective July 1, was in reaction to two harassment complaints heard by council during the latter part of 2012. Sinnamon said she could not divulge the source of the complaints, which were “dealt with confidentially� but did confirm that one complaint was “internal� and the other was an external complaint from “an outside organization.� She said the complaints were heard in a closed meeting of council. However, councillor Mike Downey confirmed the external complaint originated from the Wellington County planning department. He said the allegations of harassment stemmed from the actions of “at least two councillors� at the Oct. 9 regular council meeting, during which a county planner took part in a discussion about the impact of changes to the township’s comprehensive zoning bylaw on minimum distance separation (MDS) regulations for rural building lots. Downey said he was unaware of any allegations of harassment until the Dec. 11 meeting, when Wellington County CAO Scott Wilson and county human resources director Andrea Lawson attended an in-camera session of Mapleton council. “They said they had done a
full investigation and said we definitely were guilty, at least two councillors - wouldn’t name names - but there was at least two of us that were guilty.� Downey said, “there was absolutely nobody from our council who was spoken to other than maybe (Mayor) Bruce Whale,� during the investigation. “We’re being painted as guilty without a trial,� he said. Downey said the allegations came out of a council meeting he considered “open public dialogue� and that neither he nor any other Mapleton councillor had “any outside contact with any county staff or anything like that, at all.� Wilson declined to discuss harassment allegations when contacted by the Community News and said the county was not involved in Mapleton’s decision to adopt a code of conduct. “I don’t know anything about a code of conduct in Mapleton,� he said. “If Mapleton passed a code of conduct they did so of their own volition.� The code was developed with the assistance of human resources consultants Ward and Uptigrove. Sinnamon said the consultants fee for preparation of the code and “conflict resolution training� was $10,000 plus HST. Council meeting agendas indicate consultant Ben Cornell, of Ward and Uptigrove, met with council at in-camera sessions on Dec. 11, 2012 and Feb. 21, 2013. On Dec. 11, the agenda indicates the meeting with the consultant involved, “education or training the members of council, board or a committee,� and listed the topic as “Workplace Violence and Harassment Bill 168 Respectful Workplace.� Other items on the in-camera agenda for Dec. 11 included the presentations from Wilson and Lawson, and a separate
presentation by Sinnamon. The session was held in-camera under “personal matters about an identifiable individual.� On Feb. 21, Cornell attended a meeting held in-camera due to “personal matters� and “education and training.� In a report to council on June 25, Sinnamon explained the Municipal Act permits the appointment of an integrity commissioner who reports to council and is responsible for performing, in an independent manner, functions assigned by the municipality with respect to application of the code. Members of council can ask the integrity commissioner for advice, Sinnamon explained. “Generally this is to ensure that members of council have available a resource to assist them in determining how to comply with the requirements of the code,� she said. Council, any member of council, or members of the public can ask the commissioner to launch an inquiry and, if necessary, an investigation into an alleged contravention by an individual member or members of council. The executive summary to the code states councillors are expected to:
 - act in the common good (public interest); - act in good faith at all times and demonstrate honesty and integrity; - be professional, civil and respectful in all dealings with the public, staff and all other stakeholders; - comply with all applicable statutes and policies; - avoid conflicts of interest and undue influence; - respect the decisions of council;
 - maintain confidentiality; - be accountable and transparent with all stakeholders; - be respectful of others’ time, interests and personal apContinued on page 3

Fun fastball fundraiser showcases Moorefield Ball Park improvements MOOREFIELD - A fun fundraiser filled the stands at the Moorefield Ball Park for some top-flight fastball action on June 27. The Hill United Chiefs, ranked second in the world by the International Softball Congress, took on the South Perth All Stars in a game to raise funds for Moorefield Park improvements. The event opened with a youth game between the Palmerston Marlins Squirt girls and the Belmore Sting boys. The intent of the exhibition was to promote the game of softball in the community and “showcase the beautiful facility that Moorefield Community Park has returned to,� said Mapleton public works director Larry Lynch, who chaired the organizing committee for the event. Township parks staff, under the leadership of manager Jim Grose, and the Moorefield Athletic Association have

worked very hard to upgrade lighting, fencing, playground facilities and turf in an effort to “bring some softball glory back to a gem of a location to play the game,� added Lynch, who is also a coach with the Hill United team. About 200 people attended the event, with many young players seen sporting their club colours and chasing players for autographs. The early evening U-12 gender battle between the Palmerston Marlin Squirts and the Belmore Sting boys went to the boys in a well-contested encounter. The feature game between the South Perth Men’s League All-Stars and the Hill United Chiefs provided plenty of excitement. The Chiefs led off their half of the first inning with a home run by catcher Mark Johnson and built a solid 3-1 lead behind the strong pitching performance of Aus-
tralian ace Adam Folkard. The All Stars tied the game with a two-run homer in the top of the seventh and the game ended on one pitch in the bottom of the frame, with another Australian, Nick Shailes, hitting a walk off blast over the right field fence to secure the 4-3 victory. The organizing committee estimates about $500 was raised and will go to signage improvements at the park. “It was a beautiful night to share a game loved by this rural community for many generations,� Lynch stated. “There was an excitement ... in the air, smiles on the faces of fans and players alike and just an electric atmosphere in a historic facility. It was our hope to revive some memories of games gone by in showcasing some great young local talent and some great international stars. I think it’s safe to say it was a double header sweep in Moorefield.�

nizing the contribution these families make to the enhancement of quality of life in their agricultural communities. The awards focus attention on the “importance of farming as a diverse and compelling business sector, the unique ideals and opportunities of rural living and the manner in which farm families are actively involved in their community,” the co-sponsors state in a press release Each local Ontario Plowmen’s Association branch had the opportunity to select a BMO Farm Family Award recipient from their area based on their contribution to the community and their own farming expertise. The awards recognize families who take an innovative approach to growing their business in the agriculture industry, and at the same time demonstrate a commitment to traditional values. Up to 10 of these families, as chosen by the OPA Farm Family Provincial Committee, will be honoured at the 2013 International Plowing Match and Rural Expo in Mitchell, Ontario. Honourees will be hosted at a recognition program on Sept. 21, and will enjoy a daylong itinerary of plowing match events, including lunch and a family photograph session. “The Wellington Plowmen’s Association is proud to recognize the Whale Family as our 2013 Farm Family honouree,” said George Robinson, advisory councillor, Ontario Plowmen’s Association, Wellington County. “We believe that through these awards we will be able to showcase how the values and hard work of the farm family enhance our quality of life.” The Whale Family will receive special recognition at the Wellington Plowing Match on Aug. 17 at the Goodwin Farm.

OPP warn of suspicious male seen in Mapleton area MAPLETON - The Wellington County OPP would like the public to be aware of a male person of interest who has been seen throughout Mapleton Township as well as in Waterloo Region. The male has been known
to approach young females who are either walking or riding their bikes in rural areas and to attempt to engage them in conversation, sometimes taking their picture. He is described as: white, appears to be in his 40s, heavi-
er set, short hair operating a dark coloured, four-door older model Cadillac. Police have identified and spoken with the man, however anyone who has had any deal-
ings with him or has any concerns are encouraged to contact the OPP Crime Unit at 1-888310-1122 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
An Epic Adventure Awaits
Mapleton passes code of conduct
FROM PAGE ONE proach; - work through the CAO rather than dealing directly with department heads or staff (the code states it is acceptable to ask questions of department heads directly, but not give direction); - communicate with all stakeholders in a prompt and professional manner; - not harass or bully staff or other stakeholders; - not discriminate; and - promote a healthy, safe and respectful workplace. The summary notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is expected that the violations of this code will be rare,â&#x20AC;? and that complainants are encouraged to resolve disputes informally, before filing a complaint. At the June 25 meeting, Downey said the 25-page code of conduct, which includes eight pages of appendices, is overly complicated and, in some cases, restrictive. Downey specifically objected to the section requiring councillors to work only through the CAO, rather than individual department heads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a ratepayer, when I have a concern about building, I go to the building department,â&#x20AC;? he explained, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is basically saying as a councillor, as an elected official, I have less rights than a taxpayer.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it says that at all,â&#x20AC;? responded Whale, who said it â&#x20AC;&#x153;was a requirement that we agreed to develop a code of conduct for council.â&#x20AC;? Downey disagreed that the code was a requirement, pointing out it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mandatory under the Municipal Act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is in front of us because of an allegation of harassment from an organization to council; and that organization does not have a code of conduct,â&#x20AC;? Downey stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What would you have us do to make this satisfactory to you?â&#x20AC;? asked councillor Neil Driscoll, who indicated he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have to take additional time off work to discuss the issue further. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simplify it,â&#x20AC;? replied Downey. While noting he â&#x20AC;&#x153;respects councillor Downeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinions,â&#x20AC;? councillor Andy Knetsch said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I disagree with you on this. I think we spent a lot of time going through this document and I think it shows transparency and I think it shows due diligence, so I support this document.â&#x20AC;?
At Downeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, a recorded vote was held on a recommendation to adopt the code and direct the CAO to proceed with recruiting a municipal integrity commissioner and report back with a recommendation at the July 9 meeting. The motion passed with Whale, Driscoll, Knetsch and councillor Jim Curry voting in favour and only Downey opposed. Sinnamon told the Community News the commissioner would operate in similar fashion to the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closed meeting investigator and would be paid â&#x20AC;&#x153;a nominal retainerâ&#x20AC;? plus an agreed upon rate for any investigations conducted. The entire code of conduct can be viewed on the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.mapleton.ca/live-mapleton/council.

Mrs. Karsten of Guelph was the soloist - her voice is beautiful. A performance by Tineke deBoer of Palmerston, a very talented trumpet player, was enjoyed by all. Also worth of mention were a group of ladies called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Singende Sysjes (singing sisters),â&#x20AC;? with Teresa Dekker on the piano.

Mapleton Rodeo
JULY 5-6-7
Learn the ropes of featured events and enjoy the ride with Rodeo 101 MAPLETON - Spectators love the action-packed excitement of a rodeo, but they don’t always understand how the competitions work or what is involved. Here are some basic guidelines of the rodeo events: Tie down roping Tie down roping is a ranch skill that originated from working cowboys. Once the calf has been roped, the cowboy dismounts and runs down the length of the rope to the calf. When the calf is on the ground, the cowboy ties three legs together with a six-foot pigging string. Calves must be given a head start, and if the cowboy’s horse leaves the box too soon and breaks the barrier, a 10-second penalty is added to the roper’s time. In calf roping, a tenth of a second can make the difference between winning and losing. Barrel racing The event is a horse race with turns. The cowgirl’s time begins as she rides her horse across the starting line of the arena. She makes her run around three upright barrels, which are in a cloverleaf pattern. She must circle the first barrel the opposite direction of the second. She will circle the second and third barrel in the same direction and then race back to the starting line where the clock stops. Bumping a barrel is permitted, but if it is knocked to the ground, a five second penalty is added to the time. Team roping Team roping is the only rodeo event that features two contestants. The team is made up of a header and a heeler. The header ropes the horns, then dallies or wraps his rope around his saddle horn and turns the steer to the left for the other cowboy, who ropes the heels. The heeler must throw a loop with precision timing to catch both of the steer’s hind legs. Once both roper’s have made a catch and pulled their horses and steer to a stop, and are facing each other, the time clock stops. Bare back bronc riding In bare back bronc riding the rider holds onto bareback rigging, which looks like a suitcase handle attached to a leath-
er body. The underside is covered with a high-density foam pad and leather for the horse’s comfort. It fits the horse’s wither and fastens with a cinch around the horse’s girth. The cowboy must “mark the animal out” by positioning his heels over the points of the horse’s shoulders on the first jump out of the chute. Each time the horse bucks, the cowboy brings his knees toward his body, keeping his heels against the horse and his toes turned out, then stretches his legs out again before the horse’s front feet reach the ground again. Higher scores reflect a hard bucking horse, a controlled ride and a welltimed spur stroke. The rider must not touch the animal or his equipment with his free hand or he will be disqualified. Steer wrestling This event was originally called “bull dogging” and requires the cowboy to lean from a running horse onto the back of a 600 pound steer, catch it behind the horns, stop the steer’s forward momentum and wrestle it to the ground with all four of its legs and head pointing the same direction. The hazer, who rides along the steer’s right side to keep the animals running straight, assists the bulldogger.
Saddle bronc riding This event is known as rodeo’s classic event or original contest. A bronc rider holds onto a thickly braided bronc rein, which is attached to the halter on the horse’s head. On the first jump out of the chute, the rider must “mark the animal out” by maintaining
contact with his heels above the point of the horses shoulders, He must then move his feet from as far forward as he can reach and back to the cantle of the saddle each jump that the horse takes. High scores reflect hard bucking bronc and a controlled, well-timed spur stroke.
riding hand with only his grip holding him in place. While, there is no “mark out” rule in bull riding, the rider relies on balance and athleticism to complete the required eight-second time frame. The rider must not make contact with the animal or his equipment with his free hand or he will be disqualified.
Touching the animal or equipment with the free hand results in disqualification. Bull riding Bull riders place a flat braided rope around a bull that weighs almost 2,000 pounds. The bull rope is placed around the animal, just behind its shoulders. It is then looped and threaded through itself and the cowboy wraps it around his

Since 1921, Martin Drainage has provided farm drainage service and solutions to the Ontario agriculture industry. Located just outside of Wallenstein, Martin Drainage is proud to be a full-service drainage contractor, having provided more than 90 years of combined experience through its licensed operators.
