Fire department presents activity report MAPLETON – The latest quarterly report from Mapleton Fire Chief Rick Richardson indicates local firefighters responded to 27 calls for assistance during the months of May, June and July. Firefighters responded to six fire calls, three calls for

public assistance and seven motor vehicle collisions and three other types of rescue calls during the three-month period. The department also dealt with seven medical calls and responded to one mutual aid call. A total of 16 training sessions were held for Mapleton

firefighters during the threemonth period, on topics ranging from auto extrication to confined space rescue. Nine members of the local fire department were certified for confined space rescue at a June 22 session at Driscoll Farms in Mapleton.

by Patrick Raftis MOOREFIELD – Local arm wrestler Tyler Robinson came within one victory of earning a world title at an international competition in Poland last week. Robinson took part in the World Arm Wrestling Championships held in Poland from Sept. 1 to 8. Competing in the Disabled Men over 90kg category, Robinson finished in second place with his left arm on Sept. 4 and fifth place with his right on Sept. 5. Both categories were won by Russian arm wrestler Yusup Yusupaliev. Robinson, who was born with cerebral palsy, qualified for the global event by winning the disabled division at the Canadian Arm Wrestling Championships in Timmins in June, placing first in both the left and right arm categories. In Poland, Robinson said both left and right arm categories included about 10 competitors from Russia, Germany, Turkey, Ukraine, Brazil and Poland. To reach the final match in the left arm category he had to wrestle five times in a single day, against the stiffest competition he has ever faced.

Robinson is pictured with friend and training partner Jeff Oosterveld at a July 31 fundraiser hosted by Township of Mapleton staff and the Moorefield Optimist Club to assist with expenses for the trip to Poland.

“It was a lot tougher than any of the competition at the nationals,� he noted, adding, “It was a lot of fun.� Adding to the difficulty was the need to quickly adjust to a new style of competition, as competitors were required to be seated, while Robinson normally wrestles standing up.

The World Championships were held in a huge venue called the Sports Hall. “It was a pretty big arena,� said Robinson, adding that about 1,200 competitors were involved in total. Crowds were also much larger than Robinson was used to. Continued on page 3

of the building for warehousing. In June, MSW Canadian Plastics was ranked at number 17 on the 25th annual Profit 500 ranking of Canada’s fastest-growing companies. The company was also ranked number three in the category of manufacturing and distribu-

tion. Ontario is accepting applications for the Southwestern Ontario Development Fund from qualified businesses that are growing and creating jobs. Hoskins said the program provides a 60-day turn-around time for applications. Sectors eligible for the fund include advanced manufacturing, processing, life sciences, information and communications technology, tourism and cultural industries. Since October 2012, the government has committed over $25 million through the fund, leveraging a total investment of $221 million. These investments have helped to create and retain about 6,000 jobs, states a press release from the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment. During other stops in the region on Sept. 6, Hoskins announced $1.5 million in funding for a $15-million project to make pleasure boat engine components at Linamar Corporation in Guelph and $1.3 million for Elmira Pet Products to purchase new equipment and technology to increase production.

Robinson earns silver

Minor ball season wraps up with barbecue in Alma ALMA - The Alma Minor Ball Association honoured its players and coaches at its annual year-end awards barbecue held at the Alma Community Centre on Sept. 6. All teams this year had a fun, skill building season with a combination of wins and losses, organizers report. The Alma Midget girls finished fourth in the regular season but fought to a second place finish in their year-end tournament The highlight of the awards night was a celebration of coach Jim DeBock for 35 years of coaching with Alma Minor Ball. Debock was presented with an Alma Minor Ball jacket noting his 35 years of coaching. The Tim Hahn Memorial Award, which is awarded to individuals who have dedicated exceptional time and effort for the benefit of Alma Minor Ball, was presented to the Alma Optimists. The Optimists made major repairs to the Alma diamond this year with new lights and fencing that enhanced the ball players’ experience. A special thanks from the organization went to the Leslie and Rickert families for Bob Rickert Memorial donations made to Alma Minor Ball that were used to purchase new bases for the diamond and a pitching plate and home plate for the new pitchers’ warm up area. The organization expressed thanks to coaches, executive and community supporters who volunteer their time to make Alma Minor Ball available to local youth.

FROM PAGE ONE “I’ve never wrestled in front of crowds like that before,” he said. Robinson said most of his time was spent at the competition, so he didn’t get out to see much of the country. However, with his appetite for international competition whetted, he’s already setting his sites on qualifying for the 2014 world competition to be held in Lith-

uania. To make it, Robinson knows he will have to “train, train, train.” For that, he’s thinking about acquiring an arm-wrestling machine, something he saw while in Poland, which allows wrestlers to train without the need of a partner. “There’s not a lot of people around Moorefield who want to arm wrestle me anymore,” he quipped.

Parkinson SuperWalk raises $38,000 in region KITCHENER - Walkers from Kitchener-Waterloo and the surrounding areas enjoyed a fantastic day at the annual Parkinson SuperWalk held Sept. 7 at Victoria Park. Over 100 participants gathered at the park to support important research, programs and services for people living with Parkinson’s. The event raised $38,257 locally, and $329,999 so far regionally, with one walk left

EDITORIAL A lasting legacy “When I started this run, I said that if we all gave one dollar, we’d have $22 million for cancer research, and I don’t care man, there’s no reason that isn’t possible. No reason.” - Terry Fox The legacy of a true Canadian hero will be celebrated across the county and across the country this Sunday as Terry Fox Runs take place in communities of all sizes throughout the land. Fox’s target of $22 million has long since been surpassed, as the runs have raised an incredible $500 million for cancer research since the event was founded in 1981. It’s worth remembering, for those old enough, and worth discovering for those who aren’t, just what this incredibly-determined young man accomplished and why he inspired Canadians to give both physically and financially to support the cause he initiated on his inspiring cross-country Marathon of Hope. In 1980, after having one leg amputated due to cancer, Fox embarked on a cross-Canada run 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. The Mapleton community is among the most supportive per capita anywhere in Canada. The 2012 Terry Fox Run in Drayton set a local record for participation, as over 200 participants and volunteers banded together to raise $25,143. Since 1994, Drayton’s Terry Fox Run has raised over $358,000. This year’s local run is scheduled for Sept. 15 with registration, lunch and activities being held at the old arena at the fairgrounds from noon until the big kickoff at 1:30pm. In Palmerston,where last year 87 participants and volunteers raised $5,425, the Terry Fox Run takes place between 8am and 2pm, starting from the Palmerston Railway Heritage Museum at 166 William Street. Runs will also be held at numerous other locations across Wellington County on Sept. 15 and at schools throughout the region on Sept. 26, as area residents join in an event that has become a unifying force on a national basis, and one that allows for participation virtually regardless of circumstances. As Fox himself put it, “If you’ve given a dollar, you are part of the Marathon of Hope.” Patrick Raftis

Mapleton Musings Column courtesy of Mapleton Historical Society Land speculation in Mapleton Crown lands in Mapleton Township were surveyed and offered for sale in the 1840s, Peel Township in 1845 and Maryborough Township in 1849. There were many settlers (or squatters as they were called in the day) already in the township. They had built their shanties and cleared small plots of land in the virgin forest that covered the townships. A Crown land office was opened in Elora when Andrew Geddes was appointed Crown Land Agent in 1844. Geddes was 62 years of age when appointed, an age when most men of the time were retired

or at the least considering that state. He remained agent until his death in 1865. Settlers were required to make application for their land at the Elora office. They had 10 years to make installment payments of 10 per cent per year. The price of land at that time was $3 to $3.50 per acre. In addition each settler was required to clear five acres, build a dwelling 18 by 20 feet with a shingled roof, and cut the trees on one half of the road allowance adjacent to his lot. It appears that Geddes found the requirements to obtain a deed for their land were not being met by many of the settlers, particularly in Peel Township, and his authority

as an agent for the Crown was in question. In his correspondence to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, in Montreal, in 1847 he laid out the problems found. On April 21, 1847 he wrote: “In the Townships of Wellesley (which was part of Wellington at that time) and Peel there are great numbers have taken up land, cut a few trees and built a shantie on the lot which they claim a full right to although not in occupation and will neither pay themselves, nor allow others to do so until it suits themselves. “Many have got down their names on lots by the surveyors on which they are not able to pay and a great number have

land. They found that the lots, listed as available by Geddes, were already claimed. Squatters claimed 200 acre lots where they had only cut a few trees and perhaps built a shanty. They were quite abusive to the newcomers and would offer to sell their “good will� for either one half or all of the lot for $50 to $100. One such prospective settler, who found lots on Concessions 13 and 14 so occupied, returned to Geddes’ office and stated, “he would not again go into Peel to look for land on any account.� The commissioner did eventually act, whether on Geddes’

circulated a report that I as agent have no authority either to call upon them for money or to receive any at all and they are advised not to pay me until they go and consult their worthy friend Mr. Webster who got the price of lands reduced for them.� He asked the department to issue a notice to those settlers to call, without delay; on the district agent in Elora to pay their first installment otherwise the lots will be sold to the many applicants. Apparently there had been no response to his April letter, for he wrote again on Oct. 14, 1847 of the many complaints he had received from those seeking to settle on Crown

Latest Chicken Soup entry contains Drayton content DRAYTON – The latest entry in the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul book series features submissions from two local residents: Glynis Belec and Caroline Sealey.

For Belec, a freelance writer and children’s author, the work is her third contribution to the Chicken Soup series, which features collections of inspirational stories from a

variety of authors. Her first was a piece called A Mother’s Intuition which was featured in Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman’s Soul, while in In Chicken Soup for the Soul: Angels Among Us, Belec shared a story called A Tim Hortons Angel, about how a chance encounter with a caring stranger provided her with inspiration that aided her in her battle with cancer. In the recently-released Chicken Soup for the Soul: From Lemons to Lemonade, Belec tells the story of Zeal For Teal, a unique local fundraiser for ovarian cancer which

advice or that of others we don’t know, but an Order in Council was issued Jan. 13, 1859, “That parties purchasing lands from the Crown are compelled to pay arrears on or before January 1, 1860 or to forfeit all claim to such lands, and squatters failing to make good their title to lands upon which they are resident on or before September 1, 1859, are to be deprived of all claim for improvements effected by them, and to sacrifice their preemption rights.� No doubt may of these problems continued as crop failures and scarcity of ready cash were difficulties faced by may of the early settlers. submitted by Jean Campbell

By Rev. Calvin Brown, Knox Presbyterian Church, Drayton

Get ready for fall! “Get ready for fall!” read the headline. It made me think of the fall that the Bible talks about but I think it was more a “back to school” emphasis. The fall, I was thinking about was the BIG fall. The fall from God’s grace and plan for the world and everyone in it. The fall that occurred when Adam and Eve, earth’s first couple, decided they’d rather figure things out on their own than trust their creator’s word. Although the life of obedience to God had provided one good time after another and one good thing after another they felt they should take their future into their own hands. The result, as we can read, was a disaster. A later Bible writer says: There is a way that seems right to a man but the end is the way of destruction.” I know a lot of people who

have discovered this truth the hard way. Some I have simply heard about, some are very close to me, and sometimes it is part of my own story. The end result of choosing our own way is sickness and ultimately death. St. Paul writing to the Romans tells them that the wages of sin are death. Marin Luther King Jr. reflecting on Original Sin with poignant insight asks, “Is the doctrine of original sin merely one doctrine among many? Is it not rather, according to its fundamental meaning the Doctrine which emerges from all honest stuff of history. Is it not the doctine, which in the last resort, underlies the whole teaching of history.” In other words, he suggests that if we only will look at history we can see the the core fault of human kind is that we are self centred rather than God centred. The Bible adds that to be God centred is discerned by the way we treat our neighbours. When Jesus was asked what

the greatest Command was he replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:37-40) Many today want to ignore this teaching, preferring instead a human philosophy that claims people are basically good and given a chance they will do the right things. The Bible, being more realistic says: God created us good but from the beginning people chose to serve themselves rather than God even though God who is all wise and generous had chosen to serve humans in the most extravagant ways – even sacrificing himself so human benefit and redemption. In what he teaches and in what

he models God shows his wisdom and love. Many see the doctrine of original sin and the fall as negative but truth – even if an unpleasant truth - is always the starting place for making a bad situation good again. This doctrine is a truth that enables us to take seriously the situation we are in. We need to realistically come to terms with the fact that whatever response we make to the strife in Syria, Bashar alAssad will most probably act in his own best interests, those who are fighting his regime will act in their best interests which probably can be interpreted as gaining power for themselves and promoting their own interests. This is not being skeptical it is simply believing what God says about the results of the fall when we started to move away from him. When we understand that we can begin to deal with it and get to

the root of many of the problems that confront us in both our public and personal lives. The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ. (Romans 6:23) This is incredibly good news. There is a way to move beyond the fall and our self-interest focus. That way is to believe as Jesus taught, “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved.”(John 3:16-17) To ask Jesus to take the lead in our life is to choose to follow that way of love and abundant life. Not everyone will choose that. Some will choose to set themselves up as the final authority as our ancestors Adam and Eve

did at the first fall and they will experience the same Fall and the same pain, and the same disappointment with life. Jesus stands at the door with the invitation for us to welcome him into our thoughts and feelings and actions. What will you do? Karl Barth, one of the greatest theological thinkers of the 20th Century, once observed: Man can certainly flee from God… But he cannot escape him. He can certainly hate God And be hateful to God. But he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in his hate. This devotion to Jesus is the radical commitment that makes a great person – a world changer. This is the person in whom the Spirit of God dwells. This could be you.

Local woman launches book on insurance woes

by Patrick Raftis PALMERSTON – A Palmerston woman is set to launch a book on her lengthy battle to obtain insurance benefits after being injured in an automobile accident. So You Think You’re Covered! The Insurance Industry Rip-Off is the title of the book, which tells the story of accident victim and author Jokelee Vanderkop and her dealings with two insurance companies. In a press release, Vanderkop states she was mo-

tivated to write the book after meeting dozens of people like herself, who she alleges “had legitimate claims that were being systematically denied by their insurers.” She ultimately won her case, but contends the emotional strain has caused many people in similar cases to drop the fight. Vanderkop says the book outlines how to avoid costly mistakes and the steps a victim should take “to avoid being denied benefits and unfairly labelled a scammer.”

Sunday, September 15 10:00am: Rev. Tom van Milligen will lead our morning worship

A SPECIAL INVITATION

to those who are unable to worship on Sunday morning because of work, illness, or some other reason – please join us for evening worship every 2nd, 4th, & 5th Sundays.

Vanderkop had just begun a career as a secondary school teacher at Norwell District Secondary School when she was injured in an automobile accident 15 years ago. “I lost my career,” due to chronic pain and other issues related to the accident, she says. The self-published book also outlines the coping strategies Vanderkop used to survive financially without any income and how she successfully battled depression during the dispute and continues to fight chronic pain disorder, an incurable cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis. The official launch of the book takes place Sept. 14 at Mapleton’s Organic Dairy, 8548 Wellington Road 7, from 2 to 4pm. Books are now available for $25 at the Bookshelf in Guelph, at the launch, or may be ordered through Vanderkop’s website www.deniedbenefitclaims.com. There will be en-

JOKALEE VANDERKOP tertainment by local musicians during a book-signing session. A portion of the proceeds from sales will be donated to help artists, artisans and musicians in the local community who do not have a fixed income, and those no longer able to work due to illness.

Mapleton Business Profile

HairStyles salon personalizes its services using a child-friendly approach From a young age Carrie Edwards knew being a hairstylist was her passion. Living in Drayton as a child she grew up spending a fair bit of time in a hair salon owned by a friend’s mother, as well as learning some basics from her own mother, who had a brief career in the hair industry. Edwards’ interest in hair and design grew from there, to getting her first “creative” clipper cut, trimming and styling friends and family members’ hair at the kitchen table with household scissors and arranging up-dos for fellow Grade 8 graduates. Edwards became a licensed stylist seven years ago while living in Waterloo and gained valuable experience in all aspects of the hair industry while working in a children’s salon, a barber shop, managing a franchise salon and working in a high-end salon and spa. Eventually

it lead to her decision to relocate to the small town where her dreams began, and she opened HairStyles located at 54 Dales Drive, Drayton. The salon was built by her and her boyfriend, who had come across some old barn board which they decided would be the basis for the country design of the salon. HairStyles offers the full services that larger salons and spas in the cities have, including permanent waving, creative coloring, barbering, professional cut and styles, but in the convenience of town with more affordable pricing. “Bringing home professional products and services without high-end salon pricing” is Edwards’ motto. She also offers bridal packages and children’s cuts. In a continuing effort to offer her clients personalized service, Edwards has added a child’s tractor chair and video game console for children

extensions, and chemical hair straitening. If there is something new she has heard about she won’t hesitate to try it herself. It’s not just about keeping up to date on styles but it’s about the creativity as well; it’s like an art and its fun, she says. Edwards is committed to her community as well, having volunteered in the Teal Streaks for Cancer fundraiser and she takes donations of hair for Angel Cuts for Kids - an organization that makes wigs for children with cancer. Edwards is grateful for her current client base and welcomes new clients. She hopes to continue to build and grow and one day own a larger salon that would include more of her ideas and dreams. So when it’s time to trim those tresses or if you’re considering a new do call for an appointment: 519-638-0687. Hairstyles is welcoming new clients.

to watch short movies or to play video games. “Getting young children to sit still during a haircut can be challenging,” says Edwards. “It can be scary for a child to see a pair of scissors aimed at their head, but I am confident that by using this new approach children will be more at ease, if not thrilled, about getting their hair cut.” Operating a home-based salon means hours include evenings and weekends, accommodating everyone, including commuters who don’t always have time for appointments. But Edwards is ready and willing to make the time for her clients. She is always continuing to come up with new ideas and doesn’t limit herself, although she still enjoys the more traditional barbering and cutting. There isn’t much she hasn’t tried with hair; experimenting in hair extensions, feather
