Police still seek suspects involved in vehicle chase
Fun run - Sunny skies were a pleasant change for the 2014 Alma Optimist Roadkill Race on Sept. 7. This year the race was moved ahead by over a month. The annual race raises funds for the fight against multiple sclerosis. While the fun run took place in Wallace Cumming Park, the other races were along nearby sideroads with the assistance of the Wellington OPP. Additional photo on page 4. photo by Mike Robinson
by Community News staff DRAYTON No arrests have been made in connection with an Aug. 22 police chase through Mapleton Township that caused minor damage to public and private property. Wellington OPP offered no additional details on the case, when contacted recently by the Community News. “There is an ongoing investigation,” stated Wellington OPP media relations officer Bob Bortolato in a Sept. 5 email. Sergeant Pat Horrigan said the OPP are urging anyone with information about the incident to call Wellington OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS) or submit a tip on-line at www.crimestoppersguelphwellington.com. On Aug. 22, a vehicle ripped through the Drayton Memorial Park and tore down the cenotaph flagpole. The vehicle, which had led police on a chase starting in Moorefield, ran directly through the park’s archway at
the corner of Wellington and Wood streets, narrowly missing the stone pillars on each side. Described by police as a small beige pickup, the vehicle then ran into the flagpole to the left of the cenotaph, ripping it to the ground, and coming within feet of the cenotaph itself. From there the truck travelled behind the Studio Factor building on Wood Street, running into a shed and causing some other minor damage before eventually heading back out the way it came. “As the truck entered the downtown intersection attempts to stop it were discontinued in the interest of public safety,” the OPP stated in an Aug. 26 press release. As evidenced by the trail of oil around the scene, reports indicate at some point the vehicle was damaged - likely as a result of the collision with the flagpole - and began to lose oil. The vehicle eventually stopped on Wellington Road Continued on page 3
Festival spreading out from Mapleton roots FERGUS - Fergus will be among the stops on the 2014 Underground Railroad Music Festival tour on Sept. 26, 27 and 28. The blues and roots festival, which began in Mapleton, will also be held in St. Catharines and Toronto. The first two festivals were held in Glen Allan, which was
considered a main terminus of the Underground Railroad, the term for a series of safe houses and individuals who helped black slaves reach Canada from the United States in the early 1800s. The event was moved to Drayton’s Centennial Park in 2011, where it was also held in 2012. It was originally con-
ceived as a way to recognize the history of the Underground Railroad and the black pioneers of the Queen’s Bush settlement. Blues performers and festival organizers Diana Braithwaite and Chris Whiteley describe the festival as soulful and unique. Continued on page 3

Palmerston Marlin Squirts earn silver at provincials PALMERSTON - The Palmerston Squirt Marlins travelled as a team to Byron on Aug. 22 and 23 where they participated in the provincial tournament at Byron Optimist Park. Leading up to this date the team, which plays out of Palmerston, had travelled to tournaments in Cambridge, Niagara Falls and Innerkip. Made up of Squirt players from surrounding communities, this group of girls was coached by Mary Iles, Pat Ash and Mike Tisdale. Each week the team gathered in Palmerston to practice their skills, as well as play on hometown minor ball teams, as required by PWSA. In Byron, beginning early Saturday morning, the team met up with Guelph on the diamond to start things off. After winning this game (134), they continued along to play against Niagara Falls (9-3) and Vaughn (16-1), sweeping both games with solid wins. The girls knew that it was “do or die” to advance to a medal game, with the only way to earn a chance for gold being to place first in their pool. They took this challenge and met it head on. Sunday the team had one opposing team left to play before finals and they were again triumphant, this time against Oakville (15-0). Palmerston went to the gold medal game against the

Palmerston Lions set to celebrate 75th anniversary PALMERSTON - The Palmerston Lions Club was chartered on Sept. 27, 1939 and the club will celebrate 75 years of serving its community on Sept. 20 at the Palmerston Community Centre. The evening festivities will feature a dinner at 7pm with a large display of photos and memorabilia from the last 75 years. The club’s special guest for the weekend and the featured speaker for the evening will be past international director for Lions, Dr. Patti Hill from Alberta. Hill is also a candidate for international 2nd vicepresident.
The public is welcome to attend the dinner and tickets are available by contacting any Lions member or phoning Lion Dave Wilson at 519-343-2317. Cost is $40 per person. Tickets must be reserved before Sept. 15. Also on Sept. 20, the club will unveil a plaque to honour the memory of Lion Tom Gipp in Lawrence Park. Gipp was the driving force behind the building of the original wading pool and ball diamond at Lawrence Park in 1943. Tragically, he passed away at age 29 before all the work was complete.
Members of the Gipp family will be on hand for the ceremony, which is scheduled at this time to take place at 11am in Lawrence Park. The club will also unveil a book entitled A Pride of Lions, a History of the Palmerston Lions Club. The book, written by local Lion Dave Wilson, covers the entire 75 years of Lions serving the town, as well as lots of local history. Copies of the book will be available shortly in locations around town or from any Lions member. All proceeds from the sale of the book go to Lions projects.

Local Terry Fox Run regulars offer wide range of reasons for participation powerful rather than hopeless in the daunting fight against cancer that plagues so many. I have run in many cities over many years and now I am joined by my trusty sidekick Harley to fight the good fight here in Drayton’s annual run.” Roelie Katerberg “I am really impressed with Terry Fox himself – he was one of the first ones. He was really something, an idol. We see so much cancer around, that I hope to help find the cure. I enjoy doing the walk and have done it for many years now. Unfortunately, I can’t come to the run this year, but I’m still going to do my walk before the 14th because I have so many people who sponsor me every year. People know that I’m dedicated, and now they are too. We might as well keep plugging away.” John Gleeson “My participation started out as a bet to see who could raise the most money. I have lost a brother to cancer, and my sister is a cancer survivor, so it is a very worthwhile cause.” Run organizers wish to pay homage to all participants and volunteers for their pas-
sion and dedication towards cancer research, and encourage new participants to join in this worthwhile event. Pledge sheets are available at many businesses in Drayton and Moorefield, or can be downloaded at terryfox.org. Walk, run or bike around your choice of a well-marked two- or 10-kilometre route after registering at the old arena at the Fairgrounds between 12 and 1:25pm. Participants are sent out on the routes at 1:30pm. Donations are also accepted during registration for those who prefer not to break a sweat, organizers note. 2014 Terry Fox T-shirts are available for viewing and purchase at Blooming Dales prior to run day, with any remaining shirts being available on the 14th. Live music, face painting, a slide show from past runs, and a barbecued lunch are planned. All proceeds from the shirts and barbecue go towards cancer research. Contact Louise Ellis at 519638-2120 for more information, or go to “Drayton Terry Fox Run” on Facebook.
Police seek information FROM PAGE ONE 11, reportedly due to a lack of oil and fluids, and the two occupants of the vehicle fled on foot. OPP officers, aided by the canine unit, were unsuccessful in tracking down the suspects. Police said the vehicle had been involved in a criminal offence, but declined to specify the nature of the offence and would not confirm whether or not the truck was stolen. Police say the chase began in Moorefield after an OPP officer observed the truck fail to stop at the intersection of Concession 8 and Wellington Road 10. The truck then accelerated away from police southeast on Concession 8, eventually turning left on Wellington Road 11 and heading into Drayton.

by Sue Hogenkamp DRAYTON With Drayton’s Terry Fox Run coming up on Sept. 14, organizers are working towards hosting another landmark event. In honour of all of the dedicated people who come out year after year to help raise funds for cancer research, the following annual participants were asked to share their reasons for attending. Randy Smart “My participation is my way of showing support for those I know who have been affected by cancer and to support the efforts that people make in Terry Fox’s name. I’m humbled to be asked to be involved, and I’m happy to do my little part to help.” Martha Ruttiman “I think it is a very good cause. Terry Fox ran half way across Canada to raise money for cancer, and that’s very good. I hope a lot of people come out this time because Drayton is always a good place to do the run. We will come again.” Lori Hoelscher “Running in the Terry Fox Run is one small way I can feel

This year, the theme is North meets South: Old Songs For A New Day with two acts from the United States taking part in the festival: the daughter of the legendary blues artist John Lee Hooker, Zakiya Hooker, and a traditional group of eight from the Georgia Sea Islands called The Georgia Geechee Gullah Ring Shouters. This group’s ancestor’s have lived in Macintosh county since the 1700s and have kept the songs and stories and healing traditions of their ancestors that came from Africa to the Georgia Sea Islands alive from generation to generation. Miss Angel Brown, a Mississippi blues singer, will be a special guest at the Fergus Grand Theatre. Eight time blues award winning artists Braithwaite and Whiteley will also be presenting a concert at the festival. Traditionally an outdoors event, this year the festival is going indoors.

A phenomenal fundraiser
This Sunday, a new chapter will be written in the amazing story of an inspirational Canadian, as Terry Fox Runs take place in communities of all sizes throughout the land. In 1980, after having one leg amputated due to cancer, Fox embarked on a cross-Canada run dubbed The Marathon of Hope to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Although the spread of his cancer eventually forced him to end his quest after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 miles), and ultimately cost him his life, his efforts resulted in a lasting, nationwide legacy. In fact, Fox’s legacy is now global, as supporters in more than 60 countries participate in what has become the world’s largest one-day fundraising event. Setting out from St. John’s, Newfoundland, Fox ran the equivalent of a full marathon every day until he was forced to end his run outside of Thunder Bay when the cancer spread to his lungs. He died nine months later on June 28, 1981, having become the youngest person ever to be named to the Order of Canada and the recipient of the 1980 Lou Marsh Award as Canada’s top athlete. Fox’s target of $22 million (a dollar for every Canadian at the time) has long since been surpassed, and Terry Fox Runs have raised over half a billion dollars for cancer research. Mapleton residents are among the staunchest members of Terry’s team. In 2013 the Drayton Terry Fox run drew 163 participants and raised almost $21,000 - and the local run has raised close to $380,000 since 1990. It’s a tribute to both local organizers and participants that the local run generally ranges anywhere from second to fifth in the province for revenue per capita. Runs will also be held at numerous other locations across Wellington County on Sept. 14 and at schools throughout the region on Sept. 24, as area residents join in an event that has become a unifying nation-wide phenomenon. Although Fox never finished his run, Canadians everywhere have been keeping the Marathon of Hope going for nearly 35 years. “Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going without me,” Fox once said. While he would no doubt be thrilled, it’s hard to imagine even an optimist like Terry Fox could have envisioned the scale on which his wish would ultimately come true. Patrick Raftis

An African proverb, “When a person dies, a whole library dies with them,” is a quote Smith Meyers holds close to her heart and is her encouragement to keep recording personal stories of seniors. “I wish I had started writing earlier. What I have learned about the publishing world, I enjoy sharing with other writers,” she said. Smith Meyers is available for speaking engagements and her books can be purchased at Wallenstein General Store, Christian book stores, online at Amazon or by contacting Smith Meyers at www.ruthsmithmeyer.com or smithmeyerbooks@gmail.com.

Grandmother’s Necklace (Steven Lewis Foundation) and 50 Shades of Grace. Not Easily Broken, a novel published in 2007 by Smith Meyers, was a learning experience about the publishing world. After attaining no success with a publishing company, she decided to self-publish. Smith Meyers shared the valuable lessons she learned during the publication of the book. In 2008, she self-published the sequel, Not Far From The Tree. Both books are based on a true story that was shared by a senior in Ailsa Craig. “I received positive feedback about the books. Widows and widowers appreciated my honesty in writing about grief. I legitimized grief and drew a lot from my own experiences,” Smith Meyer said. Finding a need for a chil-

by Caroline Sealey DRAYTON - At the September meeting of Writers Unite Drayton, Ruth Smith Meyer, inspirational writer and speaker, shared her experiences on becoming a writer. Raised in an old order Mennonite church, Smith Meyer was encouraged by her father to read. Books became an integral part of her life and at a young age she developed a passion for writing. Blessed with an awareness of how the spoken word affected her, she became a dispenser of kind and encouraging words to others. As a teen, she had 33 pen pals, with whom she corresponded on a monthly basis. Smith Meyer married Norman Smith and raised their family in Ailsa Craig. After 39 years of marriage, Norman died of colon cancer. After his passing Smith Meyers established Craigwiel Garden Adult Day Centre and focused her energies on recording the stories seniors shared with her. The seniors responded to these stories by saying, “You made my life sound like it was worthwhile.” Six years after Norman’s death, Smith Meyer met Paul Meyer of Listowel. The two proved that love could bloom again. Smith Meyers’ writing accomplishments include a column for seniors published in four newspapers in the Ailsa Craig area entitled, Keenagers Corner. She also has stories published in A Second Cup of Hot Apple Cider,

Accept the invitation There is one man who has had more influence in the world than any other. Jesus, the Christ, is the greatest man who ever lived. No one has had as much influence in the world as he has and yet amazingly there are many who write him off with a shrug or ignore him altogether. Jesus is a very controversial figure and has been ever since he strode on to the plane of history. There have been those who claimed he is a god and others who claim he never actually existed. What is the truth of the matter and what difference does it make to us? John Ortberg recently published a book enti-
tled Who is this Man? The Unpredictable Impact of the Inescapable Jesus in which he traces the amazing influence of Jesus on our world. No one else has come close to being as influential as Jesus. Many of the things we take for granted as being right are things that Jesus first taught. Things like humility as a virtue and the dignity of all people. Condoleeza Rice, former US Secretary of State, says of this book, “The real power of the book rests in the paradox of our faith: that to follow Jesus is not a pathway to an easy life but a call to do hard things as if we are to live in the image of our Lord. John Ortberg gives those who believe and those who are perhaps not so certain a compelling reason to seek answers. And he reminds us that seek we
must because there has never been a more important question in the history of humankind than Who is this man?” How do we go about learning about this man? The basic source is found in the scriptures (the Bible) and the best place to start to read is not in Genesis (the first chapters) but in the beginning of the second half of the New Testament, which begins with the four gospels – full accounts of the story of Jesus written by those closest to him. These short books are named after the people who wrote them – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They make incredible claims and report what they saw and experienced. There are also some references to Jesus in Roman histories (which clearly affirms his
existence). Another source is the early Church leaders who report what was passed on to them from those who knew Jesus. Finally you can go to a church where you’ll find those who still follow Jesus today and claim His Spirit still leads them with the thoughts of Jesus. They are trying to practice in our world what Jesus has taught throughout history. The church believes that although the Romans put Jesus to death, he came back to life again and ascended into heaven. This is not to Christians just a crazy rumour or a made-up myth but proof that he is more than a man – that he is God and that he wasn’t crazy but was the Son of God as he said. What makes it vital that we figure out the truth is that he said he would come back again
and hold us all accountable to be doing the things he taught. We need to know whether the right response is to join those who worship him or ally with those who turn away from him. We all have no choice about deciding because as someone said: Not to decide is already to have made a decision. To ignore the question will be the greatest and last mistake anyone ever makes. When I was in university I came to a place where I was making my decision about who Jesus really was. I was ready to let go of Jesus if I concluded the stories weren’t true and he was just a nice ideal. A friend gave me two books that were helpful – one was by an Oxford Professor C.S. Lewis entitled Mere Christianity (I later read his autobiography
entitled Surprised by Joy). The second helpful book was by John Stott entitled Basic Christianity. It avoided all the small arguments and focused on the main question. Finally I read a book by a lawyer who decided to investigate the Jesus story for himself – fully intending to debunk it – but ended up affirming it. The name of that book was Who Moved the Stone? My conclusion will be no surprise. I chose Jesus and I believe he is who he said he is and throughout my life, through all my ups and downs, successes and disappointments he has been a faithful travelling companion and my best friend. I hope you will accept the invitation to investigate the true identity of the greatest man the world has ever seen.
Presentation busts myths surrounding use of trees as windbreaks CENTRE WELLINGTON - “Busting the Myths on Windbreaks” was a program facilitated by Mark Funk, forestry specialist with the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) on Aug. 27. Approximately 35 people took advantage of the presentation on the farm of Steve and Sandra Eastep at Wellington Rd. 7 just north of Elora. From conventional farming methods (including taking out fencerows to increase acreage and make way for larger machinery) rise arguments that intentionally-planted windbreaks: use up valuable land; affect crop yield; get in the way of farm machinery; clog drainage tile; and are expensive. With graphs, charts, and personal knowledge Funk
explained that although a well placed windbreak might take up some land the increased crop yield from the protection they provide makes up for the loss on an on-going basis. Funk says experience has taught that a single row, low porosity break is sufficient, rather than using a traditional three-row windbreak. This allows the majority of the wind to go up and over but still lets some go through (and prevents large snow buildups on the leeward side of the trees). Spruce and Cedar grow relatively narrow and provide the best porosity. Spacing between the rows is calculated based on machinery used, but again the increased yield outweighs the few minutes lost in turning and travel.

Willows and Poplar are two of the worst offenders to drains, but these trees are not normally used in windbreaks which should stay at least 15 metres away from drainage tile. Wellington County has grants available under the Rural Water Quality program that make up to 80 per cent of tree planting costs refundable. Following a barbecue supper and the slide presentation the group toured the cedar windbreaks. Steve Eastep described that in 1993 he had cultivated the area and seeded with creeping red fescue. In 1994 he planted six-inch seedlings. His land is Listowel sweet loam and 10-years prior he had clay tiled his farm in the herringbone style 40 feet apart. He has never had a problem with tree roots in the tile. Eastep credited his children who during their young lives constantly mowed the one kilometre row of trees at least three widths on each side. He credits this maintenance plus adequate rainfall the first year for the success of his plantings. Testimonials and further advice were also given by Liz Samis, Bruce Whale, and Reg Samis on how windbreaks, shelterbelts and block planting had worked for them in

A wagon tour along the cedar windbreak was helpful in showing firsthand the actual length of the row, and coming out on the next concession the group was able to compare to the Spruce break on the other side of the field where further discussion took place. The practice of trimming branches was questioned and although this is appropriate for limbs reaching too far out towards machinery, care must be taken in not removing too

many bottom branches as this could create a wind tunnel effect. Eastep stated the only real maintenance he has with the row (besides the mowing for appearance sake) is the constant removal of the wild cucumber vine. The retention of heat units created by a windbreak in a field was compared to the fuel savings created by shelterbelts around farm buildings. Farmers with more than 20
years of experience managing windbreaks were on hand to answer questions and talk about their experiences. The hosts for the event, the Eastep family, have been widely recognized for their environmental stewardship over the years. Funding for the workshop was provided by Trees for Mapleton, Trees for Woolwich, Trees for Minto and the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Submitted by Willa Wick
Rezoning allows business FROM PAGE ONE “At that time, the application was initiated as a result of a bylaw enforcement infraction. The owners were operating a welding shop out of the former school building without the appropriate approvals.” During the review of the zoning amendment application the owner included additional uses intended for operation on the site in the future, including a contractor’s yard and dry storage facility. “At that time staff were of the opinion that the welding use could adequately fall under the agricultural commercial zone criteria,” stated Redmond.
“However the proposed contractor’s yard and dry storage facility were not considered to meet the criteria for an agricultural-related use and would have required an Official Plan amendment in addition to a zone amendment. “Staff were not supportive of these uses within the agricultural area as the uses were considered industrial, would not conform to the PPS and OP and would be more appropriately located within an established urban area.” The bylaw, which rezones the land from agricultural to Agricultural commercial was approved by council.

It’s a steady investment of time and commitment that has made Dippel’s Family Garage a successful business in Mapleton. “It’s important to us to be able to offer residents of Mapleton Township superior service and quality repairs at fair pricing without having to leave town,” said Dave. “Just because we are rural doesn’t mean we can’t offer comparable, if not better, service and pricing than the city.” Dippel’s garage charges $29.95 (plus tax) for an oil change. Protect your vehicle this winter with oil spraying for $90 (plus tax) per vehicle.
