WELLINGTON COUNTY - Everyone is welcome to participate in a Terry Fox Run, regardless of age or athletic ability, marking the 39th anniversary of Terry’s Marathon of Hope to raise money for cancer research. Terry Fox Runs in Mapleton and Minto are among six taking place in and near Wellington County on Sept 15. Participants can walk, run, bike or even rollerblade where possible, travelling as much or as little of the courses as they want. The events are non-competitive, allowing everyone to go at their own pace. Register at your local run or in advance at www.terryfox.org/run. While the run does not have an entry fee or minimum donation, organizers with the Terry Fox Foundation ask all participants to fundraise or make a donation. People can raise funds online, use a pledge sheet or make a donation at the run site. The Terry Fox Foundation sponsors more than 9,000 runs every year - all volunteer-led and organized. Since the original Marathon of Hope, Canadians have contributed over $750 million for
“True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.” - Kurt Vonnegut
MINTO – Town council has agreed to provide a building for a new Wellington County EarlyON Child and Family Centre in Palmerston. The centre will provide a location from which the county can provide a range of services, including assistance for families and other social services, explained Minto CAO Chris Harrow at the Sept. 3 council meeting. Prior to opening the new Early Learning Centre at the Palmerston Public School property last fall, the county utilized a building owned by the town at 215 William Street in Palmerston. The building, formerly the Palmerston Public Utilities office, was renovated to accommodate the early learning program. Since the move to the new property, the building has sat empty. “Recently, the County of Wellington has approached us about utilizing the building for different services needed in the northern part of the county,” stated Harrow. “All of these services are needed in our community and would be beneficial to ... add locally.” Council agreed to lease the building to the county under the terms of the previous arrangement for the property, which allowed the county to utilize the building rent free. The county will pay the utilities as well as pay for any capital upgrades to the building. “The town would not have to pay for any upkeep on the building and would have the benefit of having much needed services provided to our community,” noted Harrow in his report. Luisa Artuso, director of Wellington County’s Children’s Early Years Division, explained in a report to council that an EaryON Centre is a physical site with space fully committed to child and family programing. The site must be open a minimum of 30 hours per week, which is spread over six days, including one
weekend day and one evening. At least two of the six days the site is open must be full days (over six hours). Core services provided by the centres include engaging parents and caregivers, supporting early learning and child development, and making connections for families through such programs as: - drop-in play; - play groups, - literacy; - pre- and post-natal support; - transfers to other agencies; and - referrals for direct therapy. Secondary services can include: - cultural enrichment programs; - community nutrition kitchens; - parent peer support; and - mentorship programs. EarlyON community services provided with proper approvals at some locations also include food banks, clothing cupboards, newcomers’ groups, employment and social services. Artuso explained it’s the county’s goal to ensure that every municipality has a licensed child care centre as well as an EarlyON centre. She said the services at the centre will be reflective of input gained through a county-wide survey as well as a Minto advisory group. Artuso said her department’s research indicates county residents are currently accessing services provided through various centres around the county, including existing satellite services in Minto. “One thing that we found out in our consultation is that families are travelling,” Artuso said. “They’re actually getting their children into their car. They’re driving to Minto, they’re driving to Rockwood, they’re going to Guelph – they’re actually using a variety of areas and locations.” “We’ve been talking about this for a few years,” said Mayor George Bridge.

‘All Aboard Palmerston’ group aims to revitalize community Road closed in Mapleton
By Patrick Raftis
MINTO – Members of a grass-roots, community-led movement are on board for a project to revitalize downtown Palmerston. Over 50 people attended an Aug. 15 information session for a new All Aboard Palmerston initiative. Similar to the Harriston Rising initiative in that Town of Minto community, All Aboard Palmerston is part of an effort to regenerate, rejuvenate and energize local downtowns. A meeting was set for Sept. 4 to establish a similar initiative in Clifford. Steering committee member and local business owner Terry Cormack explained All Aboard Palmerston, based on the town’s railway heritage, during a presentation to Minto council on Sept. 3. “What more obvious theme to get involved in than All Aboard Palmerston,” he noted. Cormack explained the initiative is communitybased, not just business oriented, with participation coming from business, service and municipal sectors, as well as local residents. “Basically anybody that’s interested in becoming involved, our doors are open,” he stated. “We had over 50 people came to our initial meeting at the Norgan (Theatre) and a lot of those people did not just come for that meeting, they have remained involved.”
Railway theme - A railway theme, focusing on local historical assets such as the Old 81 engine in Lions Heritage Park, has been adopted for the All Aboard Palmerston community revitalization initiative. Photo by Patrick Raftis Councillor Ron Elliott said he was at that first meeting “and the enthusiasm was just amazing. “I went there wondering what would happen, hopeful that we’d have 10 people. When you see 50 people there and you see all those service clubs coming forward and everyone has 50 ideas . .. its just amazing.” Cormack told council All Aboard Palmerston will focus efforts around creating “picturesque, railwaythemed moments” and events in Palmerston. Among the group’s first efforts will be a Tiny Trains and Treats family festival. The Sept. 28 event will involve youngsters carrying homemade trains through a
downtown parade. A variety of downtown activities and business promotions will also be part of the event. “It should be a lot of fun,” said Cormack. “We think this is going to be a kind of a cool little kick-off.” Future events in the multi-year program may include a Railway Festival with a family focus and a “R– Ale–Way Brewfest,” combing the railway theme with a craft brew showcase featuring events such as “Bites and Brews on the Bridge.” Cormack suggested In addition to the steering committee, All Aboard Palmerston includes four other committees working on various aspects of the initiative, including events
and programming, beautification, fundraising and promotions. Mayor George Bridge noted the broad community focus of the program could make it more effective than a business-only effort. He noted at a recent county economic development meeting representatives of one community “were talking about organization of a BIA (Business Improvement Area) and they were getting pushback because people don’t want to pay taxes.” Bridge said this type of “groundswell” movement, run by people and businesses might be a better way to go. “Governments aren’t great at running things,” he said, quickly adding “other than towns. Palmerston has a great opportunity, with the parks and museums, to be a travelling site with people coming to it.” While the All Aboard initiative focuses on Palmerston, Cormack said the existence of similar groups in other Minto communities will enhance the entire town. “We all need to recognize that we belong to one community, but we all do have our personalities,” said Cormack. “And its those personalities that we need to encourage ... as part of this community and we’ll let that shine. There are different reasons to come and see all the components ... within the Town of Minto, but we are the Town of Minto.”

EDITORIAL By Patrick Raftis
Run a proud tradition The 39th Terry Fox Run is set to take place this Sunday, Sept. 15, in communities across Canada, and indeed around the world. The cancer research fundraising initiative inspired by a courageous Canadian is today a global phenomenon, with international runs organized by Canadian embassies and consulates, Canadian Forces Bases, anti-cancer groups and other organizations and individuals around the world. Closer to home, local residents have played a huge part in the efforts. In 2018, the Drayton Terry Fox Run raised more than $16,000. If anything approaching that level is attained again this year, and there is no reason to think it won’t be, total fundraising since inception for the Drayton event will push past the half-million dollar mark. It is a truly amazing display of dedication to a cause for a such a small community to have raised more than $490,000 to date. In Minto, the Palmerston Terry Fox run raised an impressive total of more than $7,250 last year, thanks to the efforts of participants and a dedicated team of volunteers in that community. This year’s run, as usual, will begin at the Palmerston Railway Heritage Museum and participants may start anytime between 8am and 2pm. Participants may register at their local run or in advance at www.terryfox.org/run. The Drayton Terry Fox Run Committee is encouraging participants to arrive at the Kinsmen Fair Grounds at 12:30pm for registration. A group photo of participants is planned for 1:20pm. The run will begin at 1:30pm. As local organizers urge, “We are in this together! We have all been affected by cancer in some way. Lets rise up and fight back!”

Donna Gingrich served a summer picnic lunch with the help of VON representative Stephanie Warner and volunteer Mary Cain. Joann (Loos) Kat, a former Clifford resident, shared photos and memories of Italy starting in Venice where Gondolas careen the water ways, flowers adorn balconies, Venetian masks are popular, beautiful mosaics showcase artisans’ talents, and a statue of Juliet of Romeo and Juliet fame attracts tourists.

Historical display in Clifford storefront CLIFFORD - The Town of Minto Cultural Roundtable showed interest in having each community set up historical displays throughout the town for the summer. Thanks to Terry Birch, the storefront located at 23 Elora Street North was transformed into a showcase of historical treasures of Clifford. The Clifford and District Historical Society does exist in this community, although the membership now is limited to one. There is a modest bank account and a key to a display case shelving unit at the entrance to the library/clinic dedicated to the society. There are boxes crammed with photos, papers, documents, memorabilia, sport uniforms, officer uniforms, pennants, knick
knacks of the 1900s, and interesting tidbits that you could only find in a small community. Those boxes were opened and the items on display reveal the treasures stored beneath the lids. Georgia Taylor wrote an interesting book for the Centennial Historical Sketches of Clifford 1855 to 1967 celebrating the good old days of Clifford. In 2012, Ray Schaus had his compiled works published, Clifford, a Scrapbook of Memories ... Reveals a Village With a Past filled with 346 pages of chronologically-sorted facts and photos dating back to the earliest days of the region. Call him at 519-327-8696 to purchase a copy for $35. In October, a story telling event will be held in Clifford.

Historical society hosting Hollen cemetery tour By Liz Samis Mapleton Historical Society MAPLETON - For the past number of years, the Mapleton Historical Society has hosted cemetery tours and walks in the township and each year organizers are all amazed that a relatively small place like Mapleton Township has such a rich history. These events also provide opportunity for people in the community and those with roots from here to come back to share their memories and any research they have done. This year the focus is
on Hollen. The village of Hollen was founded in 1850 by Hugh Hollingshead from King Township and he commissioned the first survey of town lots and added his name to the new village, called both Hollin and Hollen. Hollingshead built a sawmill and he put up the first bridge, thus making the settlement accessible to both Peel and Maryborough. Samuel Robertson also came from King Township and opened up the first store in Hollen as well as post office in 1852. Hugh 1853, In Hollingshead had a flour
mill going and was turning out shingles at the sawmill. Other businesses came in with stores, two hotels, a potash operation and there were the usual trades needed like a blacksmith, wagon maker, tailor and shoemaker. The township erected a school in 1854 and both Methodist and Presbyterians had church buildings for their congregations. In April of 1866, the first daily stagecoach with four horses carried the mail between Hollen, Drayton, Stirton, Alma, Elora and Guelph. SEE HOLLEN » 6
Fair time - There’s always plenty to see in the display halls at the Harristion-Minto Fall Fair. The 160th fair runs Sept. 13 to 15 at the community centre grounds in Harriston. Community News file photo
Harriston-Minto fair features reunion pizza party on Sept. 13 By Patrick Raftis HARRISTON – The 160th Harriston-Minto annual Fall Fair kicks off Friday night and continues through Sunday. Fair ambassador Chelsea Beyer and junior ambassador Charlotte Moore, who were selected in a competition on July 5, will be on hand to greet fairgoers throughout the Sept. 13 to 15 event. “The theme is Family Ties and Homemade Pies,” Minto Harriston noted Agricultural Society president Eric Gray at a presentation to Minto council on
Sept. 3. Grey told council a display at the local library on the fair’s history, curated by the Harriston Historical Society, drew a great deal of attention over the past few weeks. Historical exhibit “We had lots of people come in to see that from Alberta, the Maritimes and across Ontario,” he noted. “If you missed it, most of it will be at the fair.” Agricultural society treasurer Warren Grein outlined some of the main attractions for this year’s fall fair, including:
- laser tag, balloon making, lawn mower races and a 160th anniversary reunion pizza night on Friday; - Agriculture Awareness Building, Let’s Talk Science display, Children’s Village, mini-putt a dog show and baby show on Saturday, capped off with a performance by the Elvis tribute band Peter Irwin and the Memphis Rebels on Saturday night; and - a fair breakfast, soapbox derby, beef shows, pedal tractor show and demolition derby on Sunday. “It’s a fun weekend … jam packed,” said Grein.

One of those days Ever have one of those days? I’m sure everyone has. Not only were things not going well that day, but decisions that were made months ago, were coming back to bite me. Kids were vomiting the second day of school. The second day! I mean, nothing was going very well. We have all been there. It may seem that some
of us are there more than others. Perhaps it seems like you have one of those days monthly or even weekly. Maybe you don’t experience them quite that often, but still know the feeling when just nothing you touch turns out well that day. Those can be the days when our attitude and mindset matter the most. It is easy to be happy and positive, when things are going well. Unless of course you are someone who, when things

are going well, just thinks about how that isn’t sustainable and it has to end soon. It is much harder to be positive when things, and I mean everything is not going well. Our attitude and our intentions matter though. And they matter a lot. The sooner I am able to get out of the mindset that everything is going south, I can start to see some of the things that are going up. If I keep myself stuck in the mindset of nothing is going right, then I very quickly find that I am right, and I keep finding things, even little things, that affirm that thought. Having positive thoughts
is important for how we present ourselves to the world, and how the world sees us. It also matters on how we frame our thoughts. We want to think positive, and not a double negative. A simple example from sports. If you are playing golf, thinking “Don’t hit it in the water,” while a good idea, still makes you focus on the water. And I have found (perhaps because of skill level more than anything else) when I think that way guess where I end up? Thinking “Hit it on the fairway” has the exact same end result in mind, but is focused on the positive. Here is why it is impor-
tant, and why it matters. What we put out into the world is generally what the world gives back to us. If I am walking around in a terrible mood, others are going to pick up on that, and if I speak harshly to someone else, there is a much better chance they will speak harshly back, which then reinforces the fact that I’m having a terrible day. It works the other way too. Let’s say I’m trying to eat healthy. If I tell myself every day I’m trying to eat healthy, and focus on the positive, then when a snack choice comes up, I’m actually thinking, I’m trying to eat healthy so let’s choose
the apple, not the chips. In the United Church part of one of our faith statements says, “We believe in God who has created and is creating.” If I believe that God is still creating today, then I want to have the right attitude to experience the goodness of creation. I want to put myself out there in a way that I experience the joys, and wonders of what God is doing. I want to train myself to find the good, to see the positive, to put forth an attitude of gratitude for everything I have. Even when I’m having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Smoking ban leads to parking issues By Patrick Raftis PALMERSTON – The Town of Minto is restricting parking on Main Street near the high school here due to an increase in students parking off school grounds to get around anti-smoking regulations. “You can’t smoke anywhere on the (school) proper-

ty. So now the kids that want to smoke are all parking on the main street,” explained bylaw officer Cam Forbes at the Sept. 3 Minto council meeting. “If you drive through the parking lot behind the high school, you’ll find it’s half full, there’s a lot of empty spaces there.” Deputy mayor David Turton asked, “People are parking on Main Street because they don’t want to park in the parking lot because they can’t smoke in their car in the parking lot, is that true?” “You can’t smoke anywhere on school property,” Forbes confirmed.
“So the problem with the parking is they’re cluttering up the Main Street,” said Forbes, noting the situation has prompted complaints from nearby businesses. “The biggest problem is when you’re coming off White’s Road you can’t see oncoming traffic,” said Forbes, adding the town has received complaints about the situation from both residents and Wellington OPP. Council approved a staff recommendation to implement a no parking zone on the north side of Main Street East for 30 metres from White’s Road, and then twohour parking between 8am and 6pm from the 30-metre
mark to Brunswick St., and two-hour parking between 8am to 6pm on the south side of Main Street East from Queen Street North to Cumberland Street. Council also approved a staff recommendation to prohibit parking on Webster Street. Under the existing bylaw Webster Street was designated as no parking between 8:30am and 4:30pm on any school day. “This is a narrow street and even with parking allowed on one side, it would make it difficult for emergency vehicles to get down the street,” Forbes noted. “There’s no real need to park on that street at any time.”

By the 1870s Hollen’s population was 400; it was seen as a major trading centre. Two major events altered the course of this thriving village, which was said to rival Guelph in its early history. When the CNR Guelph Palmerston line bypassed Stirton and Hollen in 1871 and went to Drayton instead, businesses and people shifted. The second defining historical event was the building of the Conestogo Dam

and how it split the community in two and isolated the community of Hollen. It changed the road system, families had to sell and move, churches were closed and the numbers of businesses and people declined. The cemetery is located north of the village and was established in 1854 on a twoacre plot. It was a municipal cemetery, not a graveyard associated with a particular church, so people of all different religious affiliations and

“It’s come a long way just to have the centres, because there was nothing in the rural areas. “In the city there were
all these services and in the rural area you got nothing,” said Bridge. “I think it’s a great opportunity for us to bring services and I can see it growing.”
backgrounds could be, and are still, buried there. In the early days, there were Quaker settlers who believe in absolute equality and as graveyards were very class conscious, they preferred “burying grounds.” Indeed, the actual name of the cemetery is the Hollen Burying Ground. Many early settlers are buried here. A cemetery tour on Sept. 14 at 1:30pm will cover a number of families, some of which are still in the area. We want to honour those who have shaped our communities, but also share some of the funny stories and details we have learned. We look forward to giving people a glimpse of this lovely part of our township. Please join us that day.

North Wellington Youth Spotlight
Boyz Next Door Lawns and More handle lawn care and odd jobs North Wellington Youth Spotlight focuses on positive stories about young people in local communities. The features are provided by Erin Raftis, municipal youth intern for Minto, Mapleton, and Wellington North – #positivityFromYouthForYouth. MINTO - Cavan Murray, 14, of Harriston, joined the world of entrepreneurship this summer through his business, Boyz Next Door... Lawns & More, funded by the Saugeen Student Start-Up Program (SSUP). The program allowed Murray, along with 41 other youths in the Saugeen area, to start their own businesses. Murray explains that his original intention when he and his friend Jayse started their business was to be strictly “a lawn cutting business, but [they have now] adapted to include other odd jobs.” On top of lawns, the business now includes things like small renovation jobs, gardening, and errands. The youth was inspired to start his own business as he is “too young for a typical job” but he wanted to earn money to pay for a cell phone. The Start-Up Program “seemed a good way” to achieve this goal, he said. The young entrepreneur is happy “to offer some services to those who need help” and has spent time working in his community, including assisting the Harriston Preschool by delivering thank-you cards and putting
We would like to clarify that this is not the case with regards to class sizes. The minister’s Aug. 22 announcement was not a backtrack or reversal on the plan to increase class sizes to an average of 28 over the next four years. It was not an announcement of new funding. School boards received no information regarding a change to class size funding, and the technical paper released in the spring remains the same. Class size
funding has not changed. It is our understanding that the Aug. 22 announcement was a re-announcement of previously announced changes to class size funding (previously announced in March), factoring in attrition funding.The class size averages described in the ministry press release (i.e. 22.5:1 in secondary) are a reflection of the first year of the province’s four-year phase in of changes to secondary class sizes. The minister said on Aug. 22 that the existing
plan unveiled in the spring stays. That existing plan is to reduce funding for secondary teachers until school boards receive funding at a rate of one teacher for every 28 students. That plan is continuing. It continues to be the case that teachers who retire or resign cannot be replaced, and the number of secondary teachers is being reduced. Thank you for your consideration of this issue. Linda Busuttil, Chair, Upper Grand District School Board
