Crowds fill the fairgrounds as sun shines on 160th annual Drayton Fair by Caroline Sealey DRAYTON Thunderstorms predicted for Friday did not materialize allowing organizers of the Drayton Fair to experience near perfect weather for the annual event. The fine weather from Aug. 5 to 7 brought steady streams of fair goers to the Drayton fairgrounds. “It was a great weekend all around. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. The crowds exceeded our expectations. Entries were up in almost every event,” fair president Jim Zantinge said.
The weekend began on Friday night with the local truck and tractor pull on the track. Pulls lasted until the wee hours of the morning due to the high number of entrants. Spectators watched as a few trucks and tractors broke fuel lines and drive shafts. Others successfully navigated the track to earn full pull status. One new event on Friday night was a Fair Euchre inside the agricultural building. Organizers plan to host the event again in 2017 and add a knitters circle and rest station. Mid morning on Saturday
the heavy horses took to the track. A record number of horses were entered in each class. Area resident Chet Martin of Chets Custom Colts, Martin Farm located outside of Arthur explained and demonstrated western reigning. Martin trains horses with behavioural issues and competes in reigning competitions across North America. The popular goat and dairy shows kept judges busy throughout the afternoon. Children enjoyed Air Bounce Inflatables, Drayton Kinettes’ games and more. Plenty of food vendors were on hand
selling everything from Scout Tails (similar to a Beaver Tail) to ice cream. Many vendors commented they sold out of supplies and had to replenish their stock overnight. New to the Saturday afternoon line up was Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo. Children and adults gathered around to experience hands on leopard tortoises, reticulated snakes, lizards and other reptiles. The OTTPA tractor and truck pull brought bigger horse power to the track on Saturday evening. Before the event began a trophy was presented
Plowing enthusiasts gather Aug. 18 for county match by Patrick Raftis PUSLINCH – Local plowing enthusiasts won’t have to wait until fall to take in an impressive display of tilling prowess. While the 2016 International Plowing Match and Rural Expo will be held in the north end of the county Sept. 20 to 24, Wellington County’s local match is set for Aug. 18 in Puslinch. The 2016 Wellington County Plowmen’s Association (WCPA) Plowing Match will be hosted by Rolf and Jenn Deter on the Don Inglis Farm at 4584 Wellington Road 3, Puslinch. The Wellington match has a long history in the local agricultural community,

ent. We have a great location; all we need is great weather,” he said. “The plowmen’s association members spend a lot of time planning and preparing for one day of activities. Everyone works with great interest and heart to keep this association going for the future.” Even with a full-scale IPM set to take place in the county this fall, Rogerson said the local match remains a significant event well worth attending. “Our local match is a stepping stone for the plowmen competing for the 2016 IPM. Try to free up some time for a day of friendly competition, Queen of the Furrow events,
fellowship, food, and an agricultural experience that has been going on for over 100 years,” he stated. Wellington County’s 2015-16 Queen of the Furrow Allison Witzel will be on hand at the event, as will competitors for the 2016-17 title. New this year is a Princess of the Furrow competition, open to girls aged 12 to 16. The winner will represent Wellington County at the 2017 match for the first ever IPM Princess competition. “I look forward to seeing many new and familiar faces for a day of learning, plowing and fun,” Witzel states.

in recognition of a dedicated volunteer with the Drayton Fair. The trophy in memory of Daryl Cooper fondly known as “The Happy Hooker” was presented to long time fair volunteer John Zantinge. Daryl Cooper had volunteered at the truck and tractor pulls for a number of years hooking and unhooking vehicles to the pull sled, until his sudden passing in July of 2016. Over 90 competitors from across Ontario entertained spectators. A number of competitors complimented fair organizers on the quality of the track and on how well the event
was organized. Sunday morning’s events began with a breakfast hosted by the Drayton Legion at the fairgrounds. For the third year in a row the challenge was put out to anyone who could complete the task assigned in the excavator games. This year’s challenge took participants back to their childhood with the game of placing the round peg in the round space and various other shapes in the correct space.

Burn ban lifted in Mapleton MAPLETON - Mapleton completely lifted its open air fire burn on Aug. 3 On July 5, Wellington County Fire Chiefs made the decision to prohibit all open air burning within the county. On July 15, the Township of Mapleton announced small campfires, less than a metre in size, would be permitted under certain conditions. On Aug. 3, the township removed the remaining provisions of the ban. “Based on the amount of rainfall that we have received over the last few days and weeks Mapleton Fire Chief Rick Richardson has declared a lift of the ban,” states a press release from the township. An open air burn is defined as any fire outside of a building. This includes bonfires,

October North for Youth Month in northern Wellington region
Recycled crafts - Preteens were invited to be creative with something old during Wild about Upcycling at the Drayton library’s summer program. On Aug. 3, teens turned unusable CDs into locker mirrors and coasters and created chalkboard and scratch art designs on the CDs. To date over 7,400 books have been read by children participating in the TD Summer Reading Club at the Drayton branch. photo by Caroline Sealey
Youth unemployment on the rise AYR - Statistics Canada is reporting the unemployment rate for youth was 16.7% in July, while the unemployment rate for the general population for this area was 4.5%. The unemployment rate for youth in the 15 to 24 age range in the Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge area has been steadily climbing over the past year. Carol Simpson, executive director of Workforce Planning Board of Waterloo Wellington
Dufferin, explains “Although we have fewer young people in this age group, more of them were actively looking for employment during the month of July. This influx of unemployed youth to the labour force increases the unemployment rate but it also swells the pool of potential workers to local businesses looking to hire.” According to Simpson, local industries such as manufacturing, retail, health care
and transportation are currently looking for entry level workers across a broad range of occupations. “Understanding where the jobs are will help match youth to these local employment opportunities. There are many free services in the community under the Employment Ontario umbrella which offer supports to the unemployed to assist in their job search or links to training/upgrading opportunities.”
National Geographic Live Explorer Series added to prize list for GRCA photo contest CAMBRIDGE - The Grand River Conservation Authority’s (GRCA) 2016 photo contest has received a boost thanks to a partnership with Kitchener’s Centre In The Square that gives photographers another reason to enter the contest. The overall Grand Prize winner will not only receive a $500 gift certificate from a local camera retailer, but will also have the chance to attend the National Geographic Live Explorer Series for 2016-17. This prize is valued at nearly $400 for two sets of tickets to hear presentations by four extraordinary explorers, filmmakers and photographers who are both documenting and helping preserve the world’s natural beauty. The GRCA encourages participants to explore nature with cameras and submit photos throughout the contest. After the contest closes on Oct. 28, prizes will be awarded for the best photos in three categories: - recreation: images depicting people enjoying recreational activities in the GRCA’s parks, natural areas and trails, and along the rivers; - nature: the flora, fauna, landscapes and riverscapes within the Grand River Parks and the river system. This includes local wildlife, aquatic life, plants and studies of patterns in nature; and - panoramic photos: The panoramic category is dedicated to wide-format landscapes or riverscapes and photos of people enjoying activities in Grand River Parks and natural areas. These can be captured by stitching multiple images together, or by using a panoramic camera. In addition to the grand and category prizes, a Grand River Parks Membership, valued at $125, is given away at the end of each month. Each photographer who submits one or more photos during a calendar month is entered into this random draw. So far, there have been three lucky winners – Gary Curran of Guelph (May), Ron Rhodes of Waterloo (June)
and Joseph McPhail of Dundas (July). Random draws will take place at the end of August, September and October, so there are still three chances to a win a Grand River Park Membership pass. The pass provides access to all Grand River Parks for one year and comes with vouchers valued at more than $90. This is the third time the GRCA has held a photo contest of this type. The winning pictures and a selection of other entries can be seen on the GRCA’s Flickr page at www. flickr.com/photos/grandriverconservation. More information, including contest rules and information on how to submit photos, can be found on the GRCA website at www.grandriver.ca/ photocontest. The photos will be used by the GRCA in publications and online. The new prize, tickets to
the National Geographic Live Explorer Series presentations includes: - Nov. 30 at 7:30pm - Ocean Wild: The Light Beneath the Seas: Brian Skerry has spent more than 10,000 hours underwater using his camera to tell the story of some of the ocean’s most elusive inhabitants; - Feb. 23 at 7:30pm Gorongosa Reborn: acclaimed cinematographer and filmmaker Bob Poole has documented the story of Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park; - March 30 at 7:30pm Stranger In A Strange Land: Veteran photographer Jodi Cobb takes you on a whirlwind retrospective of a four-decade career that has seen her go undercover to reveal hidden societies; and - May 31 at 7:30pm.

MOUNT FOREST - This October has been designated North for Youth Month by the North Wellington Coalition for Youth Resiliency. Those interested in supporting youth in their community, organizations or service club or groups looking for ways to reach out to youth and those who would like to help make their community more youthfriendly are invited to take part. Organizers state North for Youth Month is an opportunity to be part of “an inspiring initiative focused on engaging youth throughout northern Wellington County.” Throughout the month of October, various events, activities, and workshops will be held in Minto, Mapleton, and Wellington North for youth aged 14 to 24. The purpose of this month-long initiative is to provide youth with an opportunity to meet new people, learn about local resources and supports, as well as become aware of opportunities they can get involved with. Skill development workshops will also be offered for youth to participate in. This eventful month will
provide answers to often asked questions such as: What is there to do? Where can I go for support? What role(s) can I play in my community? “We welcome all service providers and community members to get involved to show how much the community cares about our local youth. Together we can work alongside youth and help them reach their full potential,” states com-
munity youth resiliancy worker Gabriella Ieropoli. Anyone with an idea for an event, activity or workshop is urged to contact Ieropoli at 1-800-265-7293 ext. 7603 or gieropoli@mountforestfht. com. “Together, we can make our communities more youthfriendly and engaged. Together, we can make a difference,” she states.

Keeping cool a challenge With Wellington County under yet another heat warning as of this writing, area residents continue to deal with the impact of an extremely dry summer. With temperatures in the low- to mid-30s anticipated through Friday, Environment Canada was once again offering a number of tips for dealing with extreme weather of this nature including: - frequently visiting neighbours, friends and older family members, especially those who are chronically ill, to make sure that they are cool and hydrated; - rescheduling or planning outdoor activities during cooler parts of the day; - never leave people or pets in your care inside a parked vehicle or in direct sunlight; and - prepare meals that don’t need to be cooked in your oven. While some sporadic rainfall has allowed a county-wide burn ban to be modified or lifted in some parts of the county, including Mapleton, residents should still take extra care around their campfires and controlled burns. Conditions clearly remain conducive for grass or bush fires anywhere in southwestern Ontario, as evidenced by the growing list of fire bans or restrictions being put in place in areas around Wellington County, including Dufferin County and many individual municipalities in Bruce and Grey. Anyone planning a campfire should remember it should be no larger than three feet or one metre in size and: - should not be left unattended and must be thoroughly extinguished before leaving the site; and - have sufficient water/other fire retardant equipment available to keep the campfire under control. Those having campfires are directed to douse them with water when finished and stir the ashes with a stick or shovel to allow the water to soak in and cool the ashes and the ground. Sitting around a campfire roasting marshmallows or wieners is a great way to enjoy a summer evening. However it’s everyone’s responsibility to ensure a recreational blaze doesn’t become too hot to handle. Patrick Raftis

Don’t procrastinate - act to make changes in your life by Navneet Gill Social Worker, Diabetes Education Centre, North Wellington Health Care. Most of us can identify with putting off things until the last minute. We say things like “I was being lazy” or “I just vegetated in front of the TV” to describe this weakness. It is usually the unpleasant tasks we avoid or delay. For many of us, procrastination in certain areas does not turn into a big problem. On the other hand, this common behaviour can stop you from leading a good life, especially when living with a chronic illness such as diabetes. So what is procrastination if not being lazy? Procrastination is making a decision without
any valid reason to delay or not complete a task you have committed to and instead doing something of lesser importance despite the fact that there are negative consequences to delay the task or goal. This type of thinking becomes so ingrained and second nature that you may not know when you made the decision to not do a certain thing. Another way to recognize this problem is that you have valid reasons to delay tasks or goals. These reasons give you legitimacy to keep putting off things and the cycle continues. I am driving home after work. I had earlier committed to going to an exercise class. As I am driving, I make a list of things do around the

house, I am thinking how tired I feel, how I really need to rest instead of exercise, and within seconds I have unconsciously made the decision to skip my exercise class with the very valid reason that I am tired. The rule is that when I am tired I need to rest. I feel an immediate relief from discomfort; I am feeling good for sticking to my core rules. Next week, thinking about going to the exercise class brings up unhelpful thoughts such as “why didn’t I go last week?” or “I should just quit?” etc. The problem becomes serious when the negative consequences of procrastination become bigger. The most common procrastination issues in diabetes management are eating healthy and physical activity. These two things i.e. diet and exercise that one wants to change; inspire many negative emotions in most people struggling with diabetes. These negative emotions further complicate barriers to your goals. So, how does one overcome this? The first step is to gather information. Put your “thinking cap” on. Get a pen and pad. Make three columns. In one column write things you put off and in the next column write

Local fair draws a crowd FROM PAGE ONE for ideas to make the challenge harder. Next year there will be a men’s and a ladies category. It’s a fun time and we hope that everyone has a good time.” Entries were up in the youth sheep show and the beef show had four competitors enter the senior division proclaimed by the judge to be the “Over the Hill” class. By 2pm on Sunday the stands were filled for the final event of the weekend. The demolition derby took center stage with 18 registered vehicles. Paw Patrol, Lightning McQueen, Draytona Beach, Ninja Turtle and a Holstein Cow were a few of the vehicles vying for the $1,500 in prize money.
Throughout the weekend antique tractors and equipment were on display. Inside the exhibit building space was required for an additional 90 exhibitors in classes ranging from baking to woodworking. Anyone interested could walk an alpaca for a nominal fee. “We had a busy weekend but are extremely pleased with this year’s fair. A big thank you to everyone who volunteered, our sponsors, donors, members and hard working directors. Without all of these people, the fair would not be the success that it is,” fair board treasurer Arlie Zantinge said. In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017 the theme of the next year’s fair will be “O Canada.”

down your self-talk, things you said to yourself to put off these things. In the last column, write down the consequences of putting off the task. Choose one thing out of your list to work on. How often have you said “I know it’s not good for me but I keep doing it”? Why? We all have unwritten rules and assumptions that we live by. These rules and assumptions are a result of our life experiences. Some of these rules can be unhelpful such as – “ I must feel well before I can do anything”, “ I am not tough enough to do this”, “life is short why not enjoy it to the fullest now and worry later”, “If I had more help then I will be able to do something” etc. So what are some of your unhelpful rules? Write them down. Be aware when you start thinking about these. What we know for sure is that procrastination is complex. The procrastinating behaviour is connected to thoughts and feelings. Another element to putting off things is the excuses and justification. Most of these excuses are based in some truth. The second step is to challenge the conclusion we make from these excuses. For example – your excuse to delay a task is “I am tired”; your unhelpful conclusion to this truth is “I will do it later when I don’t feel tired.” In order to break the cycle of procrastination you have to challenge this unhelpful thought and ask yourself what is the evidence that says it is better for me to do later. If I do not start now, what will happen? Convert your unhelpful conclusion to a more helpful one - I am tired but I can still do some of the task and then rest. It is important to be aware of self-talk that hinders you from doing things. Changing behaviour takes time, practice, and a few setbacks. It is important to look at any and all small gains you have made. Keep up the hard work. Small action will generate inspiration. Reward your hard work.

WELLINGTON COUNTY – Go, Go, Go! Drayton Entertainment is dreaming big for 2017, hoping theatregoers will flock to its multiple theatres for a mega-musical of epic proportions. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is planned for four stages as part of the awardwinning theatre organization’s 2017 season. The production will play at the following locations in 2017: Dunfield Theatre Cambridge (5 weeks, March 1 to April 2); - Drayton Festival Theatre (3 weeks, May 17 to June 3); - Huron Country Playhouse in Grand Bend (3 weeks, June 7 to June 24); - King’s Wharf Theatre in Penetanguishene (4 weeks, Aug 10 to Sept 2); Created by the legendary Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is one of the most adored musicals in Broadway history, officials state. And with its family-friendly storyline, universal themes and catchy music, it’s also one of the industry’s most lucrative productions. The 2017 season lynchpin follows a string of coups for Mustakas, starting with regional premieres of Disney’s Mary Poppins in 2013, Les Misérables in 2014, Chicago in 2015, and Mamma Mia! in 2016. “Joseph remains so popular because it presents a timeless message about faith and forgiveness – something we need today more than ever,” Mustakas said. “This is family entertainment at its best. It’s extremely funny, warm and uplifting.” The irresistible tale chronicles the trials and triumphs of Joseph, Israel’s favorite son. Sold into slavery by his eleven jealous brothers when their father, Jacob, gives him a coat of many colours, Joseph capi-
talizes on his ability to interpret dreams and in so doing rises above his bleak circumstances to become one of the most powerful men in Egypt. From calypso to jazz to western, the types of music are as varied and electrifying as the multitude of colours on Joseph’s famous coat. Tickets for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, as well as the other 2017 season productions, will go on sale exclusively to members of Drayton Entertainment this fall.
Members make an annual donation to the not-for-profit charitable organization in exchange for several noteworthy benefits, including advance booking privileges. Tickets will go on sale to the general public in early December. To jump to the front of the line and become a member of Drayton Entertainment, contact the box office toll free at 1-855-DRAYTON (372-9866).

PAGE SIX The Community News, Friday, August 12, 2016
By Pastor Mark McCready Alma Bible Church
God is good I am not sure where it comes from, but there is this idea that mankind, that every human being, is inherently good. There are many people who strongly believe that deep down inside every person is something that is just good. They believe that if we just let every person develop naturally without negative influence that we will have a world of good people. There is no need to discipline children because deep down they are good, and they will figure out the right things to do. On the flip side, there seems to be this growing opinion that God is bad. While
man is good, there is lots of evil in this world; there are natural disasters, disease and death. There is a great deal of suffering, and if man is good, then the problem is God. He must be inherently bad. We ask questions like, “why does God allow evil?” or “why does God allow suffering?”; how is it that God allows so many bad things to happen? We ask these questions, and more often than not we think all this bad stuff is happening to innocent people. These theories, that man is inherently good and that God is inherently bad, are thriving in our world today. You don’t have to venture far to see the view on the goodness of man. It is in our magazines and newspapers; it is everywhere. I hear two words so often - “you deserve” - as in “you deserve a
break today”; or you deserve a new kitchen or a vacation. With respect to our views on God, just ask people why they don’t go to church. They blame God for all the bad things that have happened in their lives. We hear stories about how people blame God for a broken marriage, for the death of a child, for the loss of their business. It is never anyone else’s fault, and there is nothing anyone could have done to change things - the problem is all God. Regrettably, these two views that often are held together to be true, don’t match up with the reality of history and, in particular, the history of the Bible. At one of the most pivotal times in world history, a man by the name of Jesus was put on trial with the accu-
sation that he was somehow creating unrest for the Roman government and declaring himself to be a King. At the end of the farce of a trial and after numerous beatings, mocking, and all kinds of torture, Jesus was escorted down a road to where he would be crucified. At that place he was nailed to two pieces of wood and hung up so that everyone could see. When we go back and read the account of what took place in this event, we see exactly the opposite of what the world believes. While we believe man to be inherently good, what we see in man is violence, greed and selfishness. We read of people condemning an innocent man. We have people whipping an innocent man to the point of near death. We have
people cheering for one of the most gruesome forms of public execution ever devised. Then, while this man Jesus is hanging on the cross, while he is bleeding, dying of hunger and thirst, gasping for every breath and slowly suffocating as the weight of his body crushes in on his chest, we witness the onlookers mocking him and soldiers gambling for what is left of Jesus’ possessions. This is certainly not the high point of mankind. If man has any inherent goodness we do not see it in this picture. Then if we look at the other side, what we are witnessing is God being willing to sacrifice His Son in order to provide a way of salvation for mankind. We have Jesus, an innocent victim to these terrible atrocities, not complain-
ing, not cursing, but calling out in compassion, calling for the care of his mother, pleading for the forgiveness of those who are punishing Him. If a person held any thought that God might be evil, any thought that there was evil in the person of Jesus, at this moment, those thoughts would have to be lost in the midst of this overwhelming expression of compassion, love and forgiveness. So on reflection, perhaps we should reconsider some of our assumptions about mankind. Even more, we really need to rethink our views on who God is and what His character is like. The Bible tells us that God is good. We would all do well to open our hearts and minds to the reality that our culture has it wrong, and that God is good.

Don’t leave pets in hot cars, OPP warn Memorial trophy - The family of the late Daryl Cooper, who passed away on July 2 presented a trophy in his memory at the tractor and truck pulls on Saturday night at the Drayton Fair. Cooper was fondly known as “The Happy Hooker” as he volunteered for many years hooking up and unhooking the tractors and trucks to the pull sled.

Daryl was in his late thirties when he passed away.
