Drayton Terry Fox fundraiser set for Sept. 15 by Sue Hogenkamp DRAYTOON - A dedicated group of organizers met recently to plan the 2013 Terry Fox Run, scheduled for Sept. 15. Hoping to meet or exceed the participation record set last year of 206 participants and volunteers, lead organizer Louise Ellis was also pleased to announce almost $25,000 was raised in 2012 for much-needed cancer research.
This year’s run will start at the old arena at the fairgrounds, with registration, lunch and a variety of activities including live music, face painting and more, commencing at noon until 1:25pm. The run will officially kick off at 1:30pm as the runners, walkers and cyclists head out on either a 10km route or a 2km mini route. Signs and pledge sheets
will be available at numerous businesses in Drayton and Moorefield by early August, or pledge sheet downloads can be found at www.terryfox.org. Collecting pledges online is a quick and easy way to help raise additional funds for the cause. For additional information specific to Drayton’s Terry Fox Run, send an email with inquiry to draytonterryfox@gmail.
com. A Facebook page will also soon be established with photos from last year’s run. Ellis wishes to emphasize that Drayton’s Terry Fox Run is a family- and pet-friendly event. “I’m thrilled to announce that our run has generated a total of $357,906 for cancer research after 20 years running. This is truly the little run that could.�
Council approves tender for fire hall addition despite increased cost due to over-budget tenders by Patrick Raftis DRAYTON – A planned addition to the Drayton fire hall to accommodate expanded ambulance presence here will go ahead, despite the fact tenders came in over budget for the project. Mapleton council accepted a bid from Domm Construction for $113,000 at the July 9 meeting. Staff felt the only other bid received, $111,120 from Stahle Construction, did not meet the requirements of the tender, as site work such as asphalt pav-
ing/line painting, landscaping, concrete curbs and sidewalks, which were part of the tender specifications, was not included. In a report to council, CAO Patty Sinnamon pointed out only $70,000 has been budgeted for the project. “Both bids are well over the budgeted amount,� noted Sinnamon, adding that annual rental fees for the ambulance space, based on an agreement with the City of Guelph amount to $12,000. While it
was anticipated the agreement was to be for a 10-year period, the city has since indicated it wants a five-year agreement, she explained. Council elected to award the project to Domm Construction, rather than choosing one of the other options outlined in the staff report, which included rejecting both tenders due to the high cost and having the township act as general contractor on the project, or not proceeding with the addition. The latter option, the report
states “may have implications on the presence of an ambulance located in Drayton throughout the day.� The budget shortfall for the project will be taken from reserves. Guelph-Wellington Emergency Medical Services has used a bay at the Drayton fire station to house an ambulance for the past several years, but with no written agreement in place. The ambulance is scheduled to operate from there daily from 8am to 4pm.
Council approves $74,000 tender for sidewalks and curbs MAPLETON - Tenders for the 2013 program of sidewalk and curb construction and repair were reviewed by Mapleton council at the July 9 meeting. A total of seven tenders were received with the low tender being submitted by GJR Construction Ltd. of Kitchener, at a bid price of $73,991 plus HST. The high
bid was presented by Nes-Crete Canada, RR 5, Stratford, at a bid price of $114,247 plus HST. One bid did not include the required certified cheque in the amount of 10 per cent of the total bid and was therefore disqualified. At the recommendation of public works

director Larry Lynch, council approved awarding the tender to GJR Construction. “GJR Construction Ltd. Has carried out this annual contract a number of times in recent years with proven ability in this regard.

by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – Council here has dropped its objections and agreed to proceed with a plan to share a risk management official for source water protection with other lower tier municipalities in Wellington County. The risk management position is mandatory for all municipalities beginning in 2013 under the provincial government’s Clean Water Act. On March 5, council declined to approve a proposal involving the county temporarily funding a risk management official, who would be officially employed by Centre Wellington, but would provide service to all seven municipalities. At that time, council was concerned the county was only committed to funding the program through 2013 and part of 2014. A subsequent proposal at the June 11 meeting from county planning director Gary Cousins indicated the county would fund the RMO position on an ongoing basis. However Mapleton council, citing concerns that the cost of the postion was not detailed,
rejected that proposal as well. At the July 9 meeting, council was presented with a proposed budget for the position which includes an annual salary range of $68,565 to $80,727. Other expenses, including benefits, training and equipment, transporatation and general administration will bring the cost of the risk management official to just under $135,000 in 2014, the first full-year of implementation. After receiving the information, council agreed to support the proposal, which has already been endorsed by the other six lower-tier municipalities in the county. To fully comply with the Clean Water Act, all municipalities will also be required to have a risk management inspector. However, in a report to council, Mapleton CAO Patty Sinnamon noted that position will be considered at a later time. “It remains to be seen whether this would be done by our own building department staff or possibly coordinate with other municipalities on a cost-sharing basis,� she noted.
Rumph and national squad finish fourth at World Cup OKLAHOMA CITY - The Canadian women’s national team, including Drayton’s Victoria Rumph, ended up in fourth place at the General Tire World Cup of Softball in Oklahoma City. The Canadians finished in a three-way tie for first place with USA and Japan with a 3-1 record in the preliminary round, but came out on the short end of the tie-breaking formula and took on Australia in the bronze medal game, losing 4-3 in eight innings to finish fourth overall. Japan defeated the United States 6-3 to win the Gold medal at the event. All four teams travelled to Surrey, BC for the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship from July 16-22 at Softball City. A final roster of 17 players to represent Canada at the Women’s Pan American Championship, scheduled for Aug. 10 to 18 in San Juan, Puerto Rico will be choosen following the the completion of the tournament in British Columbia. Rumph, a catcher, recently completed her senior year at
VICTORIA RUMPH Youngstown State University in Ohio, batting .291 with six home runs and 35 RBIs in 46 games in 2013. This spring she became Youngstown State’s career leader in runs batted in, breaking the previous record of 119. Rumph, who majored in exercise science at Youngstown, is the daughter of Brian and Tina Rumph of Drayton.

PERTH WELLINGTON Local MPP Randy Pettapiece is supporting a plan to give farmers a tax credit when they donate their products to local food banks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This idea would help bring fresh, local food to people who are struggling,â&#x20AC;? said Pettapiece. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met with many of our local food banks across PerthWellington, and I know they are compassionate and dedicated,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should all support them.â&#x20AC;? On July 10, the Progressive Conservative caucus proposed amending the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Local Food Act to grant a nonrefundable tax credit worth 25 per cent of the wholesale value to farmers who donate their excess agricultural products to food banks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perth-Wellington is the heart of agriculture in Ontario,â&#x20AC;? said Pettapiece. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many local farmers are already donating

food, but this tax credit would allow many more to help out.â&#x20AC;? Each year, Ontario farmers dispose of or plough back into their fields more than 25 million pounds of fresh, nutritious food. The food is healthy but, for cosmetic reasons such as size, shape or colour, is not chosen for sale by grocers. Many farmers cannot afford the additional costs of collecting, processing and delivering unsold produce to local food banks, despite the agriculture industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will to do so, states Pettapiece in a press release. Local food a priority Pettapiece states that, as the PC deputy critic for agriculture, he has long made local food a priority.

labeling. Participants also discussed the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Local Food Act, which Pettapiece believes is too vague as it is now written. In a news release, Oxford MPP Ernie Hardeman said the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislation currently does nothing to increase consumption of local food outside of government buildings. The PC caucus has already announced an amendment to improve food literacy by requiring food education as a mandatory component of instruction for pupils in every grade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a bill that will make a difference by addressing farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns and, at the same time, improving distribution. The tax credit proposal would make a big difference, and I strongly urge the other parties to support it,â&#x20AC;? stated Pettapiece.

Water costs rising Now that Mapleton is on board, municipalities in Wellington County can move forward with plans to hire and share the cost of a risk management official (RMO) to comply with new source water protection legislation under the provincial Clean Water Act. To some, Mapleton council’s reluctance to approve a plan that would see the cost of employing the type of highly-qualified individual the position requires spread over seven municipalities, rather than one, might have appeared somewhat obstinate. It was unlikely to prove more cost-effective to go it alone on such a highly-regulated (read expensive) position. Mapleton was the last Wellington municipality to support the plan and the sense one got from discussion at the council table was that some councillors objected more that the province was mandating the hire, than specific concerns about cost-sharing at the local level. Eventually, there would have been no choice but to proceed in some fashion, either under a cost-sharing arrangement or a go-it-alone scenario. However, by pressing the issue, Mapleton compelled the county and the Township of Centre Wellington, which is coordinating the effort for the record as the RMO can’t officially be a county employee under the legislation, to provide cost projections which shed some light on the reality of this particular provincial demand. With a salary range between $68,000 and $80,000 and total cost of funding the position expected to come in around $135,000, the outlay is comparable to hiring another county employee at CAO pay grade. One could be excused for wondering why source water protection is now considered solely a municipal expense, given that few sources of water are contained within a single municipality. Since rivers, streams, lakes and aquifers don’t recognize boundaries, source water protection might be more logically seen as a provincial responsibility, or at least one the province shares in the cost of. But then again, what can you expect from the government of a province that shirks its responsibility to maintain its highways by unilaterally declaring them local roads? Apparently not much.

Letter to the Editor Rodeo a huge success Dear Editor: The tents are down, the riders have hit the trails and the dust has settled in Moorefield. The Mapleton Rodeo executive committee is doing the final tallies, but it’s safe to say the inaugural Mapleton Rodeo was a huge success. We were honoured to host the New Holland Elite Series Rodeo. The Elite Series is a sanctioned event and attracts the best competitors in the sport. These professionals compete season long with the grand-finale held in Powassin at the end of the summer. Wildhorse Productions/ABar-K Rodeos promised an action-packed, exciting event and they delivered. “When we met with the Mapleton Rodeo committee their commitment to developing a successful event was evident from the outset. As such, we quickly designated
the Mapleton Rodeo as an Elite Series event. Some of the best competitors from across North America came to rope in a piece of the $8,000 purse,” says Shawn Orr, president of Wildhorse Productions. The weekend kicked off with the family barbecue Friday night, where over 500 guests were served while being entertained by local musicians under the “ESM, McGavin and Robert’s Equipment Entertainment Tent.” Saturday’s opening ceremonies featured local dignitaries and three skydivers proudly displaying the Canadian flag, along with the Optimist and Kinsmen flags. The grandstands were packed as Wildhorse presented over three hours of exciting rodeo action. Saturday night’s triple bill concert entertained a large crowd with Randy Smart openContinued on page 6

noise, the boys stopped making it. Bob patrolled from three in the afternoon until dawn. Besides traffic violations and disturbances of the peace, he also checked store entrances. In inclement weather he wore a long black overcoat that came almost to his ankles. When he walked he swung his left arm vigorously in caricature of a soldier on parade, and for a rather short man he took excessively long strides. His manner of locomotion was distinctive and unmistakable. He could be recognized at a quarter mile. He had an office in the cellar of the town hall, near the jail. The jail was a decaying and moulding room. The bars were missing from its single small window and the door on one hinge was kept locked so it wouldn’t sag and create a spectacle. People said they kept the jail locked so nobody could get in, as it was no trick to get out of it. In his stark little office Bob read the police manual to find out what he was supposed to permit and what he was paid

They don’t have much to say in court tuh.” When they couldn’t match wits with him in the chase, the boys used different strategy to pester him. One or two would tear around at one end of town and make an unholy racket with tires and brakes. When Bob arrived to investigate, they had disappeared into the country, but a second gang would take over at the other end of town. When Bob spurted off to put a stop to that, the first bunch would return and create terror on the intersection. They had him going in circles until he decided that a cop alone cannot chase two cars in different directions, no matter how good a cruiser he drives. So when he could no longer be baited with

town didn’t think Bob would even qualify for a permit to carry one. So they saved the expense. So, except for the billy, Bob’s only weapon was a referee’s whistle that he wore in his mouth twice a year to stop traffic-once for the legion parade and once for the fall fair parade. When he first came he didn’t have a cruiser, which more or less crippled him in the fight against crime. If a speeder didn’t stop when Bob signaled, he was powerless to enforce the law.

Gerrit Wimmenhove worked for The Community News in the 1970s and ‘80s where he faithfully reported the local news. He was a quiet and observant man. After his death his family found his written observations and memories of a small town (Drayton) and some of its people. The family has generously shared Gerrit’s article which he titled “Eight People”. Over the next few weeks his articles will appear in this column. Many locals may still remember different characteristics of people and events and it is our hope you will enjoy reading about these people from Gerrit’s perspective.
to prevent. Nobody feared him; nobody respected him. When he was told by council to discourage the illegal assemble of trouble makers on Halloween night, Bob descended on the two biggest, strongest lads in town who were standing on the bridge. Bob suspected them of conspiracy and intended to nip it in the bud. He ordered them to go home. They sized him up good naturedly and one of the boys stooped, picked Bob up by the collar and seat of his pants and suspended him over the bridge railing and told him he’d drop him into the river if he didn’t behave himself. Bob sweated it out until he got too heavy for the lad to hold him like that and he was soon back on his feet. He threatened to lay charges. Since you can’t teach fear to somebody who hasn’t
got brains enough to be frightened, the boys decided that enough was enough and went home. Bob had won again. The crime level stayed about the same when Bob was on duty as before he came. That is to say there wasn’t any. There is a type of people who delight in irritating others to get attention. Owners of noisy cars would rather be hated than ignored. Bob did them a great service by giving them the attention they didn’t get from their families or girlfriends. This was his most important function as the town cop. The mischief makers were the last in the world to cause serious incidents. Bob was their friend in reverse, so to speak. At the least they missed him when he left. submitted by Jean Campbell

By Dave Tiessen, Pastor, Community Mennonite Fellowship, Drayton
“Nerve trouble” When I was growing up in the 60’s people talked about “nerve trouble.” When someone was clearly dysfunctional and not acting like “normal” folks often offered the explanation, usually spoken in hushed tones, that he had “bad nerves” or was having “nerve trouble.” Words like depression or schizophrenia were simply not terms familiar to people in our family and community. And the broad application of the “nerve trouble” diagnosis to some pretty seriously dysfunctional people made you, for sure, never want to be thus categorized. I had an uncle who came home from World War II mili-
tary service with severe “nerve trouble.” He was hospitalized and, from what I’ve been able to gather, underwent lobotomy surgery and electroshock therapy. Talk about scaring a kid away from ever wanting to be diagnosed with “nerve trouble.” It is interesting that even now in the 2010s I not infrequently hear the term “nerve trouble” used as a catch-all phrase describing someone who is exhibiting some kind of noticeable social or mental health malfunction. It makes me realize that, in general, few of us are very knowledgeable about mental health issues. How many of us know what a person is experiencing when they have schizophrenia, or bi-polar depression, or post traumatic stress disorder, or
dementia, or borderline personality disorder, or anorexia, or post-partum depression, or dissociative identity disorder, or panic attacks, or severe anxiety? Yet most of us have a family member, friend, neighbour, co-worker or fellow church member who struggles with such a mental health condition, and for many of us it is a very first-hand personal struggle. Many of the folks who struggle thusly do so in silence or secrecy because of the numerous prejudices, misconceptions, myths and taboos that linger around mental health issues. Often such folks appear fine on the outside and so it is difficult to accept that they may be unable to function at normal capacity. While we have no trouble understanding that a man waiting to have quintuple
Mapleton Rodeo a community success FROM PAGE FOUR ing for local favourites Loose Change. Canadian country music artist Jamie Warren headlined the event. Outside of the ring, the family events were all well attended. “J N L Reptile Rescue” reports the Mapleton Rodeo was one of their biggest performances to date. The amateur arm wrestling competition saw a steady line up of competitors with many younger contestants participating. Jeff Oosterveld of the Ontario Arm Wrestling
Association reports: “We started signing up competitors at 2pm and had a full slate thru until 7pm.” Also on hand was local hero Tyler Robinson who arm wrestled Shawn Orr of Wildhorse Productions. As Orr is a professional stuntman and rodeo rider, the two-seemed evenly matched. However, once again Tyler was victorious and proved yet again why he is one of the best in Canada. The Optimist Club of Moorefield and the Kinsmen Club of Drayton are grateful for the support of the community. From the sponsors who
saddled up early on, to the volunteers who signed up, we are very, very thankful. It takes the support of the entire community to make an event like this successful, and it certainly was. On behalf of the Optimists and the Kinsmen we thank you sincerely. Planning for the 2014 Mapleton Rodeo is underway. If you would like to get involved, please contact Ron Funnell @ 638-2029 or info@ mapletonrodeo.ca. Ron Funnell, Marketing co-chair Mapleton Rodeo
heart bypass surgery can’t go out and shovel snow, we often don’t understand that it also may be beyond the capacity of a severely depressed person to do so. Physically ill people benefit greatly from the support and help of their friends and loved ones. The same is equally and even more true for persons struggling with mental health issues. The first step in being able to help is being willing to accept that mental health issues are as real as physical health issues, and that they are frequently more difficult to heal. If your first response to a person exhibiting mental health symptoms is to think they are just being weak or faking it, then you will be unable to be helpful. The second step in being able to help is understanding what you are getting involved in. If we don’t understand the issue it makes it very difficult to know what to do about it. When one experiences severe chest pain it is very helpful to understand whether the pain is the result of a severe knife cut on the skin, or a muscle sprain from heavy lifting, or a heart attack. Each cause requires a different medical response and follow-up care. Thus it is also with mental health issues. When “nerve trouble” is the extent of our definition and understanding of troublesome symptoms or behaviours, then we will live
LOVERS OF THE
BIRDS Eastern Wood Pewee
The Eastern Wood Pewee is a member of the Flycatcher Family. In Mapleton birds of this family include the largest, 8” Eastern Kingbird and Great-Crested Flycatcher. The mid-sized, 7” is the Olive-Sided Flycatcher. The smallest, 5-6” are the Eastern Wood-Pewee; Yellow-Bellied, Alder, Willow and Least Flycatchers. There are many colour and body-shape similarities with all of these birds. Therefore ID is challenging to differentiate their white/gray/olive/yellow/brown combinations. Flycatchers are present only in summer in our area. I identified my first Eastern Wood-Pewee last year and saw another last month. Both times what alerted me to their presence was their sweet pee-a-wee song (hence their appropriate name). Their call is a ‘chip’. Looking out my kitchen window I saw a fleeting glimpse of a pewee perched on a bare tree branch. Stokes Field Guide gives a simplified ID of the pewee: “6”, prominent peak at back of head; grayish olive above; 2 wing bars; whitish throat; grayish chest; whitish or yellowish belly”. They have no eye-ring. The sexes are alike. Their habitat is open woods, often in the upper-story canopy, out of sight. Their territory is about 2-6 acres. Like all flycatchers they fly out from their perch to catch aerial insects, which is referred to as ‘fly-catching or hawking’. They ‘may also glean insects from foliage, especially while hovering’. A. Bezener’s Birds of Ontario provided extra helpful information. In June, some of Gary and my interesting sightings included the Wild Turkey, Bobolink, Brown-Headed Cowbird, Purple Finch, Northern Harrier Hawk, Belted Kingfisher and Cedar Waxwing. We continue to delight in the beautiful Rose-Breasted Grosbeak and Baltimore Oriole. Keep your eyes and ears attuned to the many birds in our area. Until next month, Susan Warren

ter still for the whole course of the journey; who won’t be frightened away by failures or bizarre behaviours; who won’t get discouraged if the light at the end of the tunnel seems to not be getting brighter; who will love and support unconditionally; who are willing to hold the person as accountable and responsible for their behaviours and choices as they are able to be; and, most importantly, they need people who will keep telling them by word and presence that God has not forsaken or forgotten them but is walking with them every step of the way, ever providing enough faith, hope and love for the journey. Mental health issues are real and all around us. We can live our lives pretending that they aren’t but all of us learned growing up that the real world is ultimately so much more fulfilling and joy giving than any pretend one. So it is with the difficulties of life – when we choose to walk with people in their suffering we discover a wellspring of peace and joy and significance not found anywhere else.

out the old adage you no doubt have heard – “to a guy whose only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.” We don’t need to become experts, but the more we know about the issue the better support and help we can be to our friend or loved one. If your spouse has been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) it can be greatly helpful if you can learn about PTSD, why and how her anxiety is triggered, how you can help her manage that anxiety, and how you can help her prepare for anxiety raising situations. A large number of Canadian solders who fought for Canada in Afghanistan are now struggling with PTSD again requiring significant support and sacrifice from their spouses and families. A third step in being able to help people dealing with mental health issues is being willing to stay the course. For such folks the journey of healing is most often long, difficult, winding and unclear. Hit-and-run support and care is not helpful.
