Over $20,000 raised as Drayton Terry Fox Run a success once again
by Sue Hogenkamp DRAYTON - The cool, cloudy weather couldn’t put a chill on Drayton’s Terry Fox Run Sept. 14, as 177 participants and volunteers helped raise $20,915 for life-saving cancer research. One could not help but notice the large number of families that attended the popular event. Head organizer Louise Ellis remarked, “I love seeing how many younger people come out. It makes me feel very positive and hopeful for the run; that we’ll keep it going.� Prior to the run, participants were entertained with toe tapping music by Randy Smart, a slide show of photos from past runs, and a barbecue lunch. Organizers want to thank all barbecue and corporate sponsors, whose names will be listed in a thank you ad in an upcoming edition of the Community News. Registration is always an unglamorous but necessary part of a fundraiser. Theresa Scholten, Stan Hogenkamp, Marilyn Riff and Alison Kernoghan helped to keep lineups to a minimum, while Dale Franklin and Mary Downey worked diligently behind the

Organizers would also like to express gratitude to the Drayton Mapleton Agricultural Society for the use of the old arena, and to all the participants, volunteers and sponsors who continue to help raise funds to end cancer. The passionate and dedicated organizing committee for this event consisted of Ellis, Linda Dickieson, Dale Franklin, Kristyn Franklin,
Henni Klaassen, and Scholten. Ellis, Dickieson, Klaassen and Scholten are all cancer survivors who feel as though they are paying it forward with their annual Terry Fox efforts. The many family members of the organizing committee also pitch in to help with the barbecue, set up, take down, water stations, and many of the other tasks that are essential for the success of such a large event.

Police make arrest in Mapleton car chase MINTO - Almost three weeks to the day following a car chase through Mapleton Township that caused minor damage to public and private property, police arrested a suspect in the case. On Aug. 22, a beige pickup truck led police on a chase starting in Moorefield, after an OPP officer allegedly observed the truck fail to stop at the intersection of Concession 8 and Wellington Road 10. The vehicle then led police into Drayton, ripping through Memorial Park at the corner of Wellington and Wood streets and tearing down the cenotaph flagpole. From there the truck travelled behind the Studio Factor building on Wood Street, running into a shed and causing some other minor damage. Attempts by police to stop the vehicle were discontin-
ued in the interest of public safety and the truck eventually stopped on Wellington Road 11 and two occupants fled on foot. OPP officers, aided by the canine unit, were unsuccessful in tracking down the suspects. On Sept. 12 police announced that they had identified the driver of the vehicle the previous afternoon. “Uniform officers, Wellington County Street Crime Unit and the West Region Emergency Response Team, on the strength of a warrant, entered a Prospect Street, Palmerston residence to arrest a male related to this incident,� stated an OPP press release. “The arrest was made safely and without incident.� Police say the male had four outstanding Criminal Code warrants involving stolen property, drugs, driving offences,
failing to attend court and a weapons offence. Michael Cassel, 29, of Palmerston, is charged with: - six counts of driving while disqualified; - dangerous operation of motor vehicle; -flight from police; - two counts of possession of property obtained by crime (both under and over $5,000); - possession of marijuana (under 30 grams); - two counts of driving while under suspension; and - failing to remain at the scene of an accident. He was to appear for a bail hearing in Guelph on Sept. 12. Police are asking anyone with information to call 1-888310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or submit a tip on-line at www. crimestoppersguelphwellington.com.

Klaassen, a cancer survivor, run volunteer and artist, was impressed with both the quantity and quality of the pictures, especially those with thoughtful messages printed on them. The students were also asked to write an answer to the question: “What is the value of a challenge?� Although there were many insightful compositions on display, one student’s

A challenge is something that can make us grow as a country, even as a world. A challenge can make you grow
a bigger heart.� It is obvious from the enthusiastic participation at Drayton’s Terry Fox Run that the Mapleton community has grown by facing the challenge of continuing Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope - and in the process, has shown that it has a very big heart indeed.
Township moves on initiatives to ease development capacity restrictions by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - The township is moving ahead with initiatives aimed at alleviating wastewater capacity limitations that are stalling development. At the Sept. 9 meeting, council directed staff to issue a request for proposals (RFP) for the completion of a Class Environmental Assessment for long-term wastewater management. Council also agreed to support in principle the investigation of reduced wastewater generation, improved operational performance at the Mapleton Wastewater Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) and increased dis-
charge capacity. “Each of these programs and associated initiatives will improve the wastewater capacity of the WPCP and are programs which support sustainable communities,� states a report from public works director Brad McRoberts. Under consideration in the area of reduced wastewater generation are: - programs to reduce infiltration and inflow of nonsanitary water sources such as rainwater and groundwater; - sewer camera work to identify deteriorated or failing sanitary sewer pipes or poor pipe joints which may allow continuous or event-based infiltration of groundwater to
the sanitary sewer; - financial incentive programs to assist property owners in removing illegal connections to the sanitary sewer; - capital funding programs to address deficient sanitary sewer infrastructure; and - programs to promote reduced water consumption resulting in reduced wastewater generation. The latter may include public information and education programs and financial incentive programs to support low-volume water fixtures and appliances. “Currently the township is in the process of implementing water meters and these Continued on page 3

Road access agreement approved with single-turbine wind farm operator “Roubos has submitted a traffic management plan which has been reviewed by the director of public works, with no concerns,” the report states. Councillor Andy Knetsch opposed approving the access agreement. “With all due respect to this approval, we as a council supported an earlier resolution to request the province place a moratorium on wind farm development,” said Knetsch.
Mayor Bruce Whale replied, “We don’t have final approval on the wind farm project, but we do have final approval on the road project. “This is an opportunity to have an agreement at least on the use of our roads.” Councillor Neil Driscoll pointed out the township actually gave zoning approval for the project several years ago. “Wasn’t it in 2010 we approved the zoning for this?,”

A motion to remove a holding provision from 14 lots on Faith Drive in Drayton, had to be deferred at the Aug. 26 meeting after an engineers’ report from R.J. Burnside and Associates stated that, while the plant’s rating indicated the capacity was available, the township actually had an operational capacity deficit of 61 units. “How did we get to this point? How come we have the discrepancy?” asked councillor Andy Knetsch.
“I would probably wait to provide that information until I work my way through the sequence of events that got us there,” responded McRoberts, who joined Mapleton’s staff in June.

FROM PAGE ONE additional programs would be well timed during this process,” McRoberts notes in his report. In relation to improving WPCP operation performance, suggestions include: - improved wastewater discharge metering; - automation of wastewater filtering and UV treatment to maximize operational discharge; - arrangements for back-up power during power outages; - participation in the Grand River Conservation Authority’s WPCP Optimization Program; and - other strategies to improve the ability of the WPCP to approach, without exceeding, the discharge capacity limits. Under this initiative, McRoberts said it is proposed township officials continue to work with the Ministry of Environment (MOE) to obtain increased discharge capacity for the WPCP. “At this time it is unclear what additional information or data gathering will be required to obtain the MOE’s approval of an increase in the discharge capacity limits but these may include additional receiving water sampling and public consultations,” McRoberts pointed out, adding further information may be available following a meeting between town and Ministry of Environment officials scheduled for Sept. 11. “On Sept. 3 (at a meeting of the township’s Wastewater Capacity Working Group) strategies were approved and we would like to go to the ministry with a resolution from this council supporting the investigation,” McRoberts told

Non-farm rural landowners in Mapleton can apply for tree-planting grants
Canadian Community Newspaper Association
Owners of non-farm rural properties in Mapleton Township can take advantage of a new grant program to help them plant trees on their land.
STAFF Office Manager: Caroline Sealey
Office Hours: Monday and Tuesday 9am-12pm, Thursday 9am-3pm DEADLINE: MONDAY 10AM
The new program is an initiative of Trees for Mapleton. It is open to rural landowners with more than one hectare (2.5 acres) of property. It is targeted at projects that reduce wind erosion, protect groundwater recharge areas, create buffer strips along streams, connect natural areas and create wildlife habitat.
YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER
EDITORIAL And they’re off...
When the deadline arrived for filing nominations, a total of 14 candidates had thrown their name into the hat to vie for six available positions representing township residents on Mapleton Township and Wellington County councils. Two candidates will contest the mayor’s seat, two more are seeking to represent Mapleton at the county council table and 10 candidates hope to occupy one of four seats for councillors at the Mapleton council level. That’s a commendable expression of interest in local government from candidates, and one that indicates local voters should have viable choices in the upcoming election. Now the real homework begins, as voters will hopefully strive to cast as informed a ballot as possible. Readers should watch for next week’s issue of the Wellington Advertiser, which will contain a special election section featuring profiles of candidates from Mapleton and throughout the county. Of course, future issues of the Community News will contain additional local election coverage as the campaign develops. Patrick Raftis
The grant money is financed from a donation from NextEra Energy. Landowners could receive grants of up to $25 for each tree or shrub, including planting costs. A planting plan is required for properties over one hectare. Applicants may be required to sign an agreement to maintain the trees for 15 years. Projects will be approved by the Trees for Mapleton Committee. For more information, please contact Mark Funk, GRCA forestry specialist at mfunk@grandriver.ca or by phone at 1-866-900-4722, Ext. 2259.

Well done once again
Mapleton Fire Department Recruitment Information Evenings
Much has been written in the last few weeks about the impressive show of support local residents provide annually to the Drayton Terry Fox Run. The run annually generates among the highest donation rates in the province on a per capita basis. In light of the just-completed 2014 run, which raised an incredible total of nearly $21,000, perhaps there is little more to say beyond wow, well done - again! Local organizers, donors and participants should all take a moment to be proud of their incredible accomplishment, before the work begins on next year’s event. Patrick Raftis

Walking Tour of Moorefield Co-hosts Mapleton and Wellington County Historical Societies were pleased that over 40 people joined in the walking tour of Moorefield on Sept. 13, despite intermittent rain and chilly winds. Commentator Floyd Schieck led the walk and related changes and incidents about the many businesses that have been in Moorefield as well as recognizing those that continue to thrive and serve the area. At one time, there were two blacksmiths and wagon makers, a tea room, several grocery stores, a butcher shop, a couple of hardware stores, a general

store or two, a pool room with a lunch counter, a bicycle shop, barber or two, a bakery, an apiary, general stores, furniture store and a tinsmith. A Mr. Edwards was the only undertaker to ever carry
on business in Moorefield. The Moorefield post office was established in 1872 when Dr. Henry Maudsley was appointed Post Master. The banks of Hamilton and Commerce provided banking
services from 1916 to 1934. After years of having to travel to other centres for banking services businessmen in the community persuaded the Royal Bank to open a branch in Moorefield in the late 1950s and had the building built to accommodate the bank’s needs. No doubt one might be surprised at the volume of business done at this small branch. There were three hotels built to serve the travelling public after the railway came through in 1872. As times and needs changed these buildings were put to other uses. The Queen’s, built in 1874, Walking tour - Floyd Schieck led a walking tour of Moorefield, which attracted about 45 participants on Sept. 13. The tour focussed on both past and present businesses serving the local community.

uses and have now been renovate and are used as a residence and apartments. It is always interesting to learn what was and is available in our own communities. submitted by Jean Campbell

Blood donor church challenge continues DRAYTON - The first Church Challenge winner, Drayton Reformed Church, is challenging all churches to topple them from their throne at the Drayton Blood Donor Clinic on Sept. 22. Can Christian Mennonite Fellowship regain their title or will another church reign supreme? To be included in the challenge, donate blood at Community Christian School, 35 High Street, from 3:307:30pm. September is also Childhood Cancer Awareness
Month - Gold Ribbon Campaign. Everyone is encouraged to donate blood to honour childhood cancer survivors and to remember those who lost their lives. To register a donation as part of the Gold Ribbon Campaign, go to blood.ca/joinpartnersforlife using partner ID # GOLD013121 or on Facebook /GoldRibbonCampaign. The last local clinic saw 18 new donors and donation targets met. “Take an hour of your time
to help save a life,” local clinic officials urge. Approximately half of Canadians are eligible to give blood. Last year one in 60 did. Giving blood is one of the most direct ways to help someone. Within a week, most of the collected blood is shipped to hospitals to be transferred to patients. To help the Drayton clinic exceed its goals, book an appointment to donate. Call 1-888-236-6283 or online at www.blood.ca. Walk-ins are always welcome.

By Dave Tiessen, Pastor, Bethel Mennonite Church (Elora)
Adding or subtracting? I grew up in Essex County and in my home church there were a number of people who worked in the Ford, GM and Chrysler auto assembly plants in Windsor. The rest of us would keep watch over what kind of cars these guys were driving. In those days the car companies knew that it was bad for business to have too many of their competitors’ cars in their employee parking lots, so they gave generous
financial incentives for them to buy the “home” brand. So when you saw a GM guy driving a new Chrysler product you knew that maybe this year might not be such a good year to buy a GM car. This is kind of an obvious truth, isn’t it? If you don’t believe in your own product, values or message, the people you try to convince to put faith in these things have every reason to ask why they should do so when apparently you are not. About eight years ago, Al Gore toured around the world with his movie and message An Inconvenient Truth. He vehe-

LOVERS OF THE
BIRDS House finch
Besides bird watching, another hobby Gary and I share is “thrift-storing.” Last month we combined these hobbies in a purchase. It was a “good-as-new” copy of National Geographic Reference Atlas to the Birds of North America. The thrill is that I purchased a $55 book for $2. I have been appreciating a feature in two of our bird books. They both offer detailed drawings of both sexes (if they differ) and the immature. Thus, the Peterson and Golden Field Guides have proven very helpful for making many an ID. In 2007 I wrote on the purple finch. I still have difficulty distinguishing it from the house finch. These two breeds are similar in size, colouring, diet, etc. Historically the house finch, native of Mexico and western America, was sold illegally in pet shops as “Hollywood finches.” They were released near New York City in the 1940s. Conservation: their numbers and range have grown over the years. Their descendents may be commonly seen in Mapleton. The house finch ID is: sparrowsized (5-6”). Male is streaked brown with bright red breast, forehead, eyebrow and rump. Female ID: brown with streaking, lacks red. Feeding: vegetarian; beak is adapted to mainly eating seeds; gleans vegetation and ground for seeds, berries and buds. Often visits bird feeders for sunflower seeds. Voice: clear warble ending with wheer or jeer. Nests are placed in a variety of natural or artificial sites. This may include planters or birdhouses. Birds of Ontario by A. Bezener was a helpful resource for this article. Keep an eye out for migrating birds moving through our area. Until next month, Susan Warren

mently warned people about the dangers of global warming caused by our CO2 belching lifestyles. At the same time, he amassed great wealth and spent lavishly on multiple mansions and large SUVs. To no one’s surprise this caused many to doubt that he actually believed his own grim message. I share these examples as a way of clarifying a question for those of us who are Christians. Does the way you live your life, which includes your behaviour, priorities, activities, attentions, choices, etc., add or subtract from the credibility of the values, beliefs, joy and faith, you say are the foundation of your life? Most of us who are Christian will say that our salvation, relationship and commitment to obey and follow Jesus, is the most important thing in our lives. Our churches say the same thing. Most of our churches are committed to inviting others to join us in our faith in Jesus. We have a sign out front that
says “All Welcome!” Those of us with children want dearly for them to learn about, accept and make this faith their own. But what do visitors and our children see when they observe the real us? September, is the beginning of a new year in the church. Worship, ministry, learning, and fellowship come alive after summer vacations. Despite misconceptions that abound, the church is not the pastor or minister. It is the people. The minister may be a sincere, dedicated, dynamic and active leader but, that is only good if the members of the church are the same way. They need to show these qualities and participate in the church’s faith, worship, ministries, teaching, and fellowship. A visitor to or a teenager growing up in a congregation can tell you very quickly, wether or not the people of the church “mean it.” If individuals and families of the congregation are more or less “going through the motions,” then the
their own needs to be matched by adults who show a keen interest in young people. Learn their names and talk to them on a regular basis. Volunteer as Sunday School teachers/aides, be youth leaders, and listen to their ideas and concerns. The best way for values, beliefs, faith, and church to become boring and irrelevant in our lives is for us to choose to make other things a greater priority. The things we spend more time, attention and energy on will become more important to us. When we spend less time, attention and energy on things, they will become less important to us. We greatly deceive ourselves if we think that our good intentions can make it otherwise. So, does the way we live our lives - our behaviour, priorities, activities, attentions, choices, etc. - add or subtract from the credibility of the values, beliefs, joy and faith we say are the foundation of our lives?
Rev. Hulse celebrates 50 years at local church
by Caroline Sealey DRAYTON - On Sept. 19, 1964, a young blond Rector, Robert Hulse, arrived at Christ Anglican Church in Drayton as the new minister. Fifty years later, with a few grey hairs mixed in with the blond, he is still actively ministering at the church. During his tenure at Christ Anglican Church, Reverend Hulse has been involved in all aspects of congregational life. He has baptized, confirmed, married and buried generations of church members. Adults living in the Mapleton area may remember Hulse
REV. ROBERT HULSE
when he taught religious classes at Drayton Junior School and was relief support at Alma Public School. Two days per week, he can be found at St. John’s Kilmarnock teaching students. As a young Rector, one of Hulse’s dreams became
a reality with the establishment of St. John’s Kilmarnock School, Elora in 1972. Not one to sit idle, Hulse was instrumental in the formation of the Elora Festival and the Elora Festival Singers under the capable direction of Noel Edison. Local Rotarians enjoyed his monthly meals for over 40 years. Hulse helped plan, cook and serve at Rotary Club dinners. He could be seen wearing an apron as he mashed potatoes, cut meat and poured tea (friends joke that somehow he always had an 8 o’clock meeting to attend and got out of do-
ing dishes and final clean up). In his later years, Hulse was granted the title of Canon by the Anglican Church. The title of Reverend Canon Robert Hulse, has not changed the man who prefers to be called Robert. Hulse received the Order of Canada in 2005. His outstanding contribution to the arts, education and charity in his community and church, were recognized. This man of faith will continue to provide Sunday services at the little white church on the corner of Main and Elm Streets in Drayton at 9:30am.

appeal of the church and the faith are greatly diminished. Why would the visitors to our church or the teens seriously accept the faith and commitments, if we don’t? Every September brings the local congregation an opportunity, to recommit to making Christian faith, a priority in our lives. The intention should be to “walk the talk” and make sure the commitment is obvious. For example, on any Sunday morning there are many people sitting in worship services that are deeply committed to worship, but they fail to express engagement, passion, enthusiasm or joy. Make sure the desire and commitment to welcome visitors is matched by the hospitality of deliberately seeking out newcomers and welcoming them. Engage in conversation and maybe offer to take them home/out for lunch. The desire and commitment of our children and youth to learn, accept and make faith
