by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - “In five years, Mapleton will be a culturally vibrant community characterized by diverse cultural resources and offerings. It will be a recognized tourism destination supporting a strong and diversified local economy. Mapleton will be a community with a strong sense of shared identity and civic pride.� That’s the vision contained in the Township of Mapleton Municipal Cultural Plan approved by council on June 23. The plan was presented to council by Greg Baeker from Millier Dickinson Blais, the consulting firm engaged to assist a local steering committee with development of the plan last September. A $25,000 grant from Wellington County’s Business Retention and Expan-
sion Implementation Fund assisted with the project costs. The plan’s vision will be accomplished through a focus on leadership, marketing and business development, forging partnerships, and community vitality, states a report from Mapleton business development and marketing coordinator Crystal Ellis. “The plan provides a solid base of actions that the Township of Mapleton can begin to implement, which will result in a positive impact to culture in Mapleton over the next five years,� Ellis states in the report. Councillor Marlene Ottens, a member of the steering committee, said participants were surprised by the variety of cultural activity in the community. “We were kind of stunned to realize that we have 180 cul-
tural assets in Mapleton. I hope that residents try to find all 180 of them,� said Ottens. Ellis said a further step in the plan implementation process “would be mapping out those cultural assets so they are more accessible to people.� A summary of the plan provided by Baeker indicates completion of the Mapleton Municipal Cultural Plan at this time “opens up important opportunities for regional collaboration.� The summary notes municipal cultural plans have already been completed in Wellington North, Minto and Centre Wellington, and “Collaboration in cultural development will build on existing commitments and activities in regional collaboration.� The township is planning to post the plan on its website.
Township to work with north coalition on formation of youth council
by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – Council here has lent support to a proposal to form a local youth council. At the June 23 meeting, council heard from Alison Vasey of the North Wellington Coalition for Youth Resiliency about the coalition’s plans to
Brodhaecker appointed deputy fire chief for Drayton station by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – The township’s fire department has a new deputy chief. Daryl Brodhaecker was appointed as deputy fire chief of the Drayton Station by Mapleton council on June 23. Fire Chief Rick Richardson recommended the appointment, effective July 1, after reviewing applications received in May. Brodhaecker has 26 years of experience with Mapleton Fire Rescue and has previously held the position of officer and training officer. “He is a member of the department’s health and safety committee and has acted in a leadership role during several incident responses,� stated Richardson in a report to council.
establish local youth councils within the region. Vasey said the creating the councils is among the key action items resulting form a community consultation hosted by the coalition in February. She said Mapleton was selected as the first community in the region for the project
and she requested that council appoint a member to the coalition’s board of directors. The municipality is also being asked to appoint a staff coordinator, who would assist with such duties as tracking youth volunteer hours, handling problems, monitoring finances and securing locations for
activities. Vasey estimated the duties would require between two and five hours per week. Vasey said the youth council would require a limited budget for meeting supplies and special events, but noted the coalition has some start-up funds available for this purpose.
“Working with young people is a very rewarding partnership, said Vasey, who added, “It’s often said that a measure of a society is how it takes care of its young people.� “I think this is a great idea and its part of our strategic plan to keep youth involved in Mapleton,� said Mayor Neil
Driscoll. “I commend you in your efforts. I think it’s a fantastic idea.� Council passed a resolution supporting the creation of a local youth council and directed staff to work with the coalition on the project and report back on how best to move forward.
Evan Conway hits treatment milestone in ongoing battle against leukemia by Caroline Sealey DRAYTON - For the past eight months the Conways have experienced an ordeal that no family is ever prepared for. In October 2014 twoyear-old Evan Conway was diagnosed with leukemia. He has been receiving treatments at McMaster Hospital in Hamilton that are expected to continue for over two years. The Drayton youngster recently reached a milestone in his treatments. On July 9, he received his 60th and final leg injection. The family celebrated by throwing a back yard party for family and close friends. Treatments continue on a weekly basis, with Evan receiving chemotherapy in his chest port and finger pokes for blood testing. Spinal taps are done every nine weeks and oral medications are taken daily at home. “He has good weeks and bad weeks,� said Evan’s mother Maggie. “During good weeks he has more energy and wants to play with his siblings. When he doesn’t feel well, he is content to watch TV and rest.�

Since turning three, Evan has become more aware of what is happening to him and hospital visits have become routine. The family has to be extremely careful with where they take him and who can be around him, avoiding anyone who is or has recently been sick. Hand sanitizer and frequent hand washing keeps him safe from bacteria and germs that potentially could make him ill. Evan’s immune system is very weak. A common cold lasts twice as long as an average child’s. If he contracts a fever, an emergency trip is made to McMaster hospital to check for infections. “We want to thank everyone again for everything they have done for us,� said Maggie Conway. “We feel truly blessed to be surrounded by such a caring and thoughtful community.� Monetary donations to help cover the family’s expenses can be made at the Drayton Branch of the Royal Bank, at www.gofundme.com, or on Facebook – gofundme-Evan Conway’s Family Ray of Hope.

Music Pups program, which is especially unique since it is a music program for babies. This is a playful and creative music and movement class for parents with children ages newborn to age 4. Children are introduced to a wide variety of musical scales, tonal and rhythm patterns and instruments that help to stimulate musical growth. Each child participates at his or her own level. To find out more about Pups and to view class videos visit themusicclass.com. The ultimate success of any MYC program lies behind the teacher and Ms. Tanis is no exception to that rule. It’s obvious she is an enthusiastic teacher who cares a great deal for her students. “Their struggles are my struggles,” she states. “And their triumphs are equally triumphant for me.” For more information visit www.myc.com, email taniscowan.myc@sympatico.ca or call 519-638-5715.

New bylaw restricts parking near Palmerston school; sidewalk extension also planned to enhance safety by Patrick Raftis PALMERSTON - The Town of Minto will implement parking and stopping restrictions and build a sidewalk extension in the area of Palmerston Public School, in response to traffic safety concerns in the area. The measures are being put in place in response to concerns about vehicle parking and congestion on both sides of Prospect Street, between York and Toronto, during school days before class and after school during pick up. At the July 7 meeting, council approved a staff recommendation to amend the town’s parking bylaw to prevent stopping or parking of motor vehicles: - along the both sides of Prospect Street from the intersection of York Street to 90 metres east of the intersection; - along the northerly side of Prospect Street, from the intersection of Toronto Street
to 100 metres west of the intersection; and - along the southerly side of Prospect Street, from the intersection of Toronto Street to 190 metres west of the intersection Council also approved: - adding a time-limited parking area on the north side of Prospect Street, 90 metres east of York Street to 100 metres west of Toronto Street, between 2 and 4pm on school days for a maximum of 10 minutes; and - construction of a 165metre long sidewalk from the existing crosswalk to Toronto Street along the south side of Prospect Street. Implementing the recommendations will cost approximately $2,000 for the 25 new “No Parking/Stopping” and time-limited parking signs and posts, plus $26,000 for the sidewalk, both of which have been approved in the 2015 budget, states a report from
Minto chief building official Terry Kuipers and roads foreman Mike McIsaac. Councillor Ron Elliott asked who would be responsible for enforcing the parking restrictions. Kuipers replied it would be up to the OPP to enforce the restrictions, but he hoped that once people get used to the changes, less enforcement would be needed. “If there’s a problem I think we can help the OPP out and issue some tickets,” he said. Councillor Jean Anderson suggested posting signs may not be enough to keep people from parking on the street. “When you close down the parking on that whole street … the school board’s going to have to get involved because they are going to have to police the teachers,” said Anderson. “You might as well tell the OPP officers to just park there
for the that first day because they’re going to make their year’s funds, because you know what’s going to happen – they’re going to park there.” Anderson asked if the town could urge the school’s parent council to write to the school board advising them “the town’s gone this far, but you have to do something. This still is not safe enough – we need more parking.” Kuipers pointed out the parent council has been involved in the process and has made concerns known to the school board. Mayor George Bridge said dialogue would continue in search of more complete solutions. While the measures implemented by the town don’t address all the issues, “It’s a lot better than it was,” said Bridge. Council approved a resolution to receive the staff report and proceed with the recommendations.

Gold standard
Congratulations are due Janet Katerberg of Drayton, a recent recipient of Wellington County’s Gold Medal Recycler award. The award, which is actually a county recycling box coloured gold instead of blue, is presented to county residents whose blue boxes, placed out for collection, are identified by the collection drivers as being exceptional. Materials placed in the blue boxes are clean, properly sorted, bundled where appropriate and have no unacceptable items. Each year, 25 gold boxes are handed out to deserving Wellington County residents. The county officials who came up with the concept should also be recognized for providing a way to remind local residents not only that recycling helps to reduce waste, but that doing it right helps even more. There are two ways to recycle materials in Wellington. Some residents have curbside collection, and all residents can use county waste facilities to drop off their sorted blue box materials. Residents who take their material to a facility are eligible for the Gold Medal Recycler program, as well as those with curbside pickup. It is important that materials be prepared and separated properly to allow them to be recycled as efficiently as possible. This also ensures recyclables are in the best possible condition for processing and sale to end markets, which helps keep the program cost-effective. There are good reasons certain materials are not accepted in blue boxes. For example, items like drinking glasses, plates, coffee cups, window glass, ceramics, light bulbs and mirrors have a different melting point than glass containers and can’t be processed with them. Other items, such as pots and pans, aerosol and paint cans, hangers, cutlery, scrap metal and snack/chip bags are not accepted because of contamination, attachments which cannot be removed, or because there is no market for the material.

We had 220 children running through the church every day, 20 more than last year. Thanks so much to all who volunteered to make this wonderful program happen, without you we wouldn’t be able to run such a successful program. We had 108 volunteers from various churches help out. Thanks also to those who prayed, donated food items, helped with decorations, or simply just sent your son or daughter. What a blessing to live in such a wonderful supportive community. There was lots of singing, laughing, dancing, snacking, playing and crafting going on
throughout the church every day. It was very evident if you stepped in the building that there was plenty of learning going on through fun activities. The children also supported an important ministry called Bread of Life in Peru through the Canadian Bible Society. They help give children nutritious meals, teach Bible stories and develop friendships. We raised over $2,200. Thanks to all who donated to this worthy cause. We pray that the boys and girls remember that they can conquer life’s challenges with God’s Mighty Power. See you next year at VBS, where the theme is “Cave Quest … Following Jesus the light of the World.” Tracy Kabbes for Drayton Vacation Bible School
Post’s cost of doing business. The corporation states it is “taking every action necessary to secure postal service for all Canadians and to avoid becoming a drain on taxpayers.” It is proposing these new postage rates to “help achieve its longstanding mandate of remaining financially self-sufficient.” Canada Post estimates the average Canadian household purchases fewer than two stamps a month, while the typical small business purchases fewer than 250 stamps per
year. Canadians can avoid the cost increase by purchasing permanent stamps at the current rate of 85 cents in advance of the proposed rate changes coming into effect. Permanent or “P” stamps always retain their value and are valid postage regardless of when they were purchased. Canada Post is also proposing to increase rates for other domestic lettermail, U.S. and international letter-post items and domestic registered mail.

School Section No. 6, Maryborough Township This school section was the sixth of the 20 established in Maryborough Township in the early years of organizing the township. School Section (SS) No. 6 served the families living on Lots 10 to 19, Concessions 12 and 13. In the early 1960s it was determined larger township area schools would provide better learning opportunities for the children in the township. Six local schools closed when the new area school, built on the outskirts of Rothsay, opened in December 1963. With the pending closure a foregone conclusion, the families of SS No. 6 formed a committee to plan a reunion of former and present teachers and pupils of the school. Recently
notes and documents held by the secretary of the committee, Mrs. Ruth McEwing, were donated to the Mapleton Historical Society. What a hard working committee! Not only did they plan and hold a very successful reunion, they compiled a history of the school section and of the farms and families in the section. The first schooling offered the families of this section was by Miss Margaret Giles in a tiny building, known as “The Academy” on Lot 16, Concession 12 prior to 1851. About 1851 a frame school was built on Lot 14, Concession 13. The building was used not only as a school but also for church services and community events. There are no existing records of teachers or pupils. Lore has it that when a funeral
was held school was dismissed. Walker Pioneer Cemetery, an abandoned cemetery now maintained and recognized by the township, is on this lot and has several tombstones that attest to those early burials. In 1871 the trustees of SS No. 6 either purchased or were given a one half acre parcel of the W1/2 of Lot 13, Concession 12 from John Fisher. A frame school was built at the rear of the lot. L.A. Noecker, a stone mason, built the foundation and carpenter Ira Burrows the frame building. Both men were land owners in the school section and no doubt had children attending this new school. There is record of five young women and four men teachers who taught during the period this building was used. In 1902 a new brick school
was erected close to the front moving on to a larger school. of the lot. H.A.

during the last days of the old frame building. On the last day of schooling there the teacher gave each pupil a memento of their old school, such as a book or map. However, Ross was presented with the strap because, as the teacher told him, he deserved it as he had used it the most. Whether the strap was deserved or not, Ross McEwing became an outstanding member of the community, as a farmer, a business man and a respected member of the Ontario Legislature. The brick school building and lot were sold by auction in 1965 and the building continues to be used as a residence. Submitted by Jean Campbell

Creatures of the sea and Christians as stewards of the Earth This week on our holidays we visited Ripley’s Aquarium in Toronto. It was an amazing exposure to sea life. Part of the experience was having sharks swim above and beside us only feet away as we stood on a moving sidewalk transporting us through an underwater tunnel. We saw thousands of species of fish as well as manta rays, fluorescent lobsters, jellyfish, and sea turtles. It was Shark Week and we learned that the shark population, as
well as the whale and other sea species population in the world, are in great danger of extinction mostly as a result of human exploitation. The beauty and wonder of seeing these creatures made me humble as I saw in them the glory of God revealed. Truly it was an awesome sight. Yet I also felt the shame at what our species was doing in failing to create (or more accurately maintain) a sustainable environment that the Creator had initiated in the first place. Christians have a long tradition of reflecting on nature and human responsibility towards it. They have a unique and helpful perspective different from many others. It has become popular in recent times

sibility to make sure all species are protected in a sustainable way because our of our creator’s mandate. To ignore it or to exploit nature for our own benefit, rather than simply to use it and manage it for the good of all, is a grave misuse of our God given authority. It is clear to any realist that humans, in part because of our ability to use technology, have the ability to control all other species in significant ways. This is a fact revealed in Genesis, the book that describes human beginnings. In Genesis 1:26-28 God instructs humanity to manage the creation in particular ways. 26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the
to think of ourselves simply as one species among others who temporarily have ascendency at the top of the food chain. Humans are seen simply as one grouping that struggles to dominate the other species for our own benefit and to maintain the other species so the cycle of life may continue. We are motivated to maintain the other species for our own longterm benefit. Christian theology sees things somewhat differently. While we acknowledge the inter-connectedness of species so our lives can flourish our motive and responsibility to maintain this interdependence is different. We do not see ourselves merely as one of many species but as God ordained stewards or caretakers of all. In other words we have special respon-
BIRDS Common Snipe or American Woodcock?
In the 1990s Mapleton had a season of very heavy rainfall. The fields were just like we had this June. One day Gary and I went for a walk to the back field by a stream to assess the damage. The flooding was severe. I spotted a bird with a very long bill. It was foraging in the mud. That was all I noticed. I wasn’t interested in birds much then and gave it little thought. My reaction would be very different today. In my 2006 bird survey someone did note having seen a woodcock. Size: both the common snipe and shy American woodcock are 11”/27cm in length. Status: both are fairly common to common breeders in our area. They arrive in spring and migrate in November. Family: both are upland ground birds and inland sandpipers. ID: both have long, sturdy bills, short tails and legs, barring and stripes. I didn’t note the differences which are in the belly and bill colouring, eye size, head markings. The woodcock’s bill tip is flexible, prehensile and tactile enabling it to seize worms. Voice: I also didn’t hear any sounds. The snipe’s eerie woo, wheat or scaip or the woodcock’s peent, twittering and whistling sounds. Feeding: both birds probe wet soil for worms, larvae, soft-bodied invertebrates, insects, seeds. The woodcock can eat its weight in worms within 24 hours. Habitat: snipe is wetlands and woodcock is woods and thickets. Nesting: both are ground nesters. Young of both are precocial (pattern where young hatch with feathers, able to move and feed themselves). Flight: snipe flies in zigzag manner (skilled hunters are thus called snipers) with wings pointed while the woodcock has short, rounded wings that clatter when flushed. Conservation: both birds are declining continent-wide due to hunting and habitat loss. It is a mystery which bird (if either) I saw. Resources: Birds of Ontario, National Geographic, and Stokes Field Guide. Recent sightings include rose-breasted grosbeaks and occasional bobolinks. Until next month, Susan Warren

living thing that moves upon the Earth.” Adam’s first job in the Garden of Eden was to take care of the creation. The way of salvation is to continue in the task we have been given as children of Adam. David, the great bible poet, says in Psalm 24 that the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness in it. The emphasis is on stewardship not ownership. We take care of His world and are given the benefit of our labour. God usually works in this way. We do as He says and we see His glory revealed day by day and His blessing poured out on the land. To fail or ignore our appointed task is not only to mock God but to lose the blessing. May God give us joy as we fulfill our calling as stewards of the Earth.
Avoid tick habitats to prevent lime disease between the woods and open spaces. As tick populations are spreading in Canada, it’s possible to be bitten outside of these locations. Ticks can’t jump or fly. They like to sit on vegetation like tall grasses or shrubs and climb on to passing humans or pets that may rub against them. The best way to protect against Lyme disease is to prevent tick bites. Anyone plan-

Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”. Beginning with Genesis 1:26-28 God instructs humanity to manage the creation in particular ways.

ning on trekking through the forest should avoid short cuts through thick brush and grass; and walk in the middle of maintained trails to limit your exposure. Walkers should also: - use insect repellent containing DEET (active ingredient to keep bugs away) or Icaridin (always follow directions); - wear closed-toe shoes, long-sleeved shirts and pants. Pull socks over pant legs; light-coloured wear clothes to spot ticks more easily; - shower or bathe within two hours of being outdoors to wash away loose ticks; and - do a daily “full-body” check for ticks on yourself, children and pets. More information on Lyme disease plus ways to protect yourself, your children and your pets, is available at Canada.ca/LymeDisease.
