Drayton Terry Fox run raises $16,000 and counting DRAYTON - Organizers report the 2018 Drayton Terry Fox Run was a huge success once again, as 174 participants and 12 volunteers braved the heat on Sept. 16. The fundraising total stood at $16,000 as of Monday morning, “and donations are continuing to pour in,” organizers noted. It was a wonderful community event for a great cause, officials say.
To date the Drayton event alone has raised over $490,000, significantly contributing to funding 1,291 cancer research projects by “the (Terry Fox) Foundation, which has aided in finding better ways to detect, diagnose and treat cancer today,” stated run coordinator Melissa Gleeson in a Sept. 17 press release. “Thank you to all the participants and volunteers, and to all those who have donated
towards this cause, without you this could not be possible.” Organizers are already planning and looking forward to next year’s run on Sept. 15, and encouraging everyone to mark their calendars. Everyone is welcome. Anyone who would still like to donate towards the run may contribute online at www.terryfox.ca/terryfoxrun/drayton or by contacting Gleeson at 519-500-4542.
By Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – Township council declined a request to assist the local chamber of commerce with the cost of a hall rental for a candidates meetings for the upcoming municipal election. The Mapleton Chamber of Commerce has booked the Maryborough Community Centre in Moorefield for an all-candidates meeting on Oct. 3 - at a cost of $135. “It is this amount we are looking to have lowered or waived as we will be making no money off the event,” explained chamber coordinator Gina Dobben in a letter to Mapleton council. Mayor Neil Driscoll, the only member of the current council who faces an election to retain his seat, declared a conflict of interest on the
matter at the Sept. 11 meeting. Three of the other four council members are set be acclaimed and councillor Lori Woodham is not seeking re-election. Councillor Dennis Craven was appointed to chair the meeting after Driscoll recused himself. Dobben explained the chamber of commerce is looking to host two all candidates meetings in Mapleton prior to the Oct. 22 election, in addition to one being hosted by the Alma Optimist Club in that community. “The Alma event four years ago was standing room only. It was very well attended,” Dobben told council. “Which is why the chamber believes it is very important to have three all candidates meetings this time: one in Alma, one in Drayton and
one in Moorefield.” She added, “We are looking to provide a service for our members as well as the municipality so that the community can get informed and make their decision. “There’s going to be no financial gain on our behalf, we’re just looking for some exposure to let community members know we’re here and offer something to them that they might not be getting otherwise.” Woodham said, “We have a policy in place and I believe … for exactly this reason, that we didn’t want to have to be able to say ‘yes’ to this one, ‘no’ to the other. “I believe it’s almost a conflict for council as a whole to be able to say ‘Oh yeah. Lets waive the fee so that we can get ourselves elected.’” SEE HALL FEE » 3
Holding provision removed from lots in response to capacity re-rating MAPLETON – A holding provision has been removed from 11 lots in a Drayton subdivision, as the township begins to thaw a building freeze that has been in place for two decades. On Sept. 11 township council removed the holding provision from lots in the Glennaviland subdivision in Drayton.
Council approved a bylaw at the meeting to remove the holding symbol from the subject lands to allow for the construction of dwellings in accordance with the zoning bylaw. The holding symbol had been applied to the property in order to provide council with an opportunity to ensure that sufficient municipal water and sewer capacity is available. On Aug. 3 the Ministry of

Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) approved a re-rating of the local wastewater treatment plant, from 750 to 900 cubic metres per day, paving the way to end a decades-long development freeze in Drayton and Moorefield. This interim re-rating approval will lead to a proposed secondary re-rating of the treatment system to eventually achieve an operating intake capacity of 1,300m3/day.
At the Sept. 11 meeting, CAO Manny Baron explained the interim capacity increase of 150m3 gives the municipality the capacity for an additional 207 “liveable and useable” units. Baron advised council a meeting between three developers awaiting the end of the development freeze to negotiate the use of the interim capacity went very well. “It was actually how a meeting

The resolution to accept a report from Wellington County planner Curtis Marshall and approve the bylaw lifting the holding designation passed unopposed.

2018 Journey for Jasper set to take place Sept. 29 By Patrick Raftis PALMERSTON – The Journey for Jasper will continue despite the loss of a founding organizer Darren More in a tragic car accident on July 11. The 2018 event will be held on Sept. 29 beginning with sign in at 10am at the Palmerston Lions Park Pavillion. The walk will kick off at 11am. “We are looking forward to this year’s turnout,” said organizing committee member Lisa Ellison. “It obviously won’t be the
same as the past two years. We will be missing one of the biggest advocates for The Isaac Foundation and Journey for Jasper, but we are taking things one day at a time and making Darren’s tragic death into something positive.” Ellison added, “The support from our community has been overwhelming.” Now in its third year, the event was organized by the family of Pam and Darren More, whose son Jasper was diagnosed with the rare genetic disorder in 2011. “We are looking forward
to making Darren’s dream come true and finding a cure,” said Ellison. The day will consist of a 5km walk/run through Palmerston. “This is an event that is fun for the entire family,” said Ellison. “Along the walk there will be a scavenger hunt and trivia games - you go at your own pace.” The event will be followed by a barbecue.

Ontario Culture Days is an annual three-day event featuring community arts activities.

Beginning the last Friday of September, the annual Culture Days weekend features hands-on, behind-thescenes, community-engaged activities inviting the public to contribute to arts and culture across Canada. The Minto Cultural Roundtable has organized a weekend filled with various workshops - including World Music, Musical and Masquerade Make-andTakes, Yoga for Warriors and more - available at Wellington County Library branches in Minto. There will also be apple picking, a Books and Brews

for Mapleton Township.” In June, Wellington County’s roads committee accepted a petition from Drayton resident Heather Clemmer seeking two solar powered speed signs on Wellington Road 11 in the school zone of Drayton Heights Public School. On June 28, county council accepted the committee’s recommendation to refer the petition to staff for more information.
“I understand the promise was made through the summer (that) communication would go back and forth to get it done and this didn’t happen, just with shortage of staff,” Driscoll told council after attending the county’s September roads committee meeting the previous day. Clerk Barb Schellenberger explained the motion will come back as a resolution at the next Mapleton meeting on Sept. 25.
Young Professionals Network launches with get-together HARRISTON The Northern Wellington Young Professionals Network (NWYPN) is preparing for its official launch and first event on Oct. 4. The Business and Brews event will be an opportunity for young professionals in the area to network and enjoy some beverages and free appetizers from 6 to 8pm at Harry Stones Social House in Harriston. The NWYPN will provide bi-monthly networking opportunities, resources and events for young professionals between the ages of 19
and 40 who live or work in northern Wellington County. The network was formed through a partnership with the Minto, Mapleton and Wellington North chambers of commerce and municipal economic development staff. “We felt that there was a need to connect the growing number of young professionals within the region and provide opportunities for networking and professional growth,” said marketing and community development coordinator Taylor Keunen. “Our goal is to showcase the local opportunities,
information and resources that the municipalities and chambers of commerce have to offer young professionals and entrepreneurs through both fun and beneficial events.” Young professionals in the area are encouraged to sign up for the bi-monthly e-newsletter for updates on events that will rotate between Minto, Mapleton and Wellington North. For more information, join the Business and Brews event on Facebook or contact nwyoungprofessionals@ gmail.com.
Hall fee waiver for candidates meeting turned down by council » FROM PAGE 1
Woodham suggested the chamber consider accepting free will donations at the event to help cover the cost. “It’s only $135 that you’re looking for. I do believe you’re going to have fabulous turnout,” said Woodham. Dobben explained the chamber is looking at hosting a meeting at the Drayton Festival Theatre or another venue in Drayton, as well as the Moorefield meeting. She said the local cottager’s association traditionally hosts a candidates meeting, but weren’t able to find a
suitable date and location this time. Councillor Marlene Ottens said the number of acclamations (Earl Campbell will fill the Wellington County council Ward 2 seat by acclamation also) means councillors would have a reduced role in any candidates meeting. “The difference is last time there were 10 people running for four council spots, whereas this year there’s not,” Ottens stated. “So there’s really no competition for the council positions. So I guess I’m not sure

what we councillors would do at the all candidates meeting other than say what we stand for. “So I kind of feel … almost conflicted here … it’s just an opportunity to bang my own drum.” Councillor Michael Martin said, “I think there’s probably $135 plus tax in this for the chamber of commerce as far as exposure and getting your name out there.” He suggested it might be possible for the fee to be covered privately, rather than by the municipality. Craven said he favoured
waiving the fee as requested. “I feel that any time we can make anything happen that’s good for the Township of Mapleton that we should go for it and I’m not so sure, with the chamber of commerce just getting started, that we should ask them to pay for the facility,” Craven said. “There isn’t really going to be hardly any cost to us for the use of that facility.” “I think that we can make similar arguments for a lot of delegations that come asking for fees to be waived,” said Martin.

By Patrick Raftis
Hypocrisy rules Random thoughts at the approach of deadline: What a hero. Terry Fox continues to inspire. More than 35 years after his death, Canadians continue to hit the road on the second Sunday after Labour Day to honour the valiant one-legged runner whose cross-country trek has turned into an international phenomenon that has raised more than $750 million worldwide for cancer research. Local heroes in Mapleton and Minto operate two highly successful Terry Fox Runs, with this year’s Drayton event taking in more than $16,000 and the Palmerston run raising over $7,000 for the cause. Given the size of these communities, both totals are an amazing tribute to the organizers’ dedication and their community’s generosity. What a zero. Ontario Premier Doug Ford continues his experiment in government by hypocrisy. When he flouts the legal system through the use of a seldom-used constitutional loophole to ram through a reduction in the size of Toronto City council, it’s okay because he was elected and the judge who ruled his plan unconstitutional was appointed. However, when he wants to challenge the constitutional authority of the federal government to impose a carbon pricing system across the nation, who does he look to support his claims? An appointed judge. Last week, shortly after his environment minister announced plans to petition the judiciary to overturn the federal government’s climate change policy, Ford tweeted, “It is the people, not the judiciary, who should ultimately decide how we are governed.” This would be funnier if it were fiction. Sadly, we appear to have joined our neighbours to the south in living through a real-life realty show. What’s in a name? Interesting name choice for Maxime Bernier’s new political party. While it will be called the People’s Party of Canada, the “people” will apparently have no choice in their leader, as no leadership contest is planned. The party’s policies are already mapped out before it even exists. So how is it the people’s party? Perhaps in the same way Ford is governing “for the people.” Apparently “the people” have more interest in settling the old scores of embittered politicians than moving forward on the actual issues of the day. Who knew? What a shame. It continually strikes me how unfortunate it is that politics works on a pendulum. Just when progress was beginning to be made on a whole host of global and domestic political, economic and societal issues we get, like clockwork, the regular swing to the right to bring in characters like Ford and U.S. President Donald Trump. Progress on every issue from climate change to health care is at least paused and often reversed, while squabbles over their mystifying priorities prevail. It’s a shame there’s no discernible centre in politics anymore.

Floradale tied the game up with a scramble at the net. A backhanded shot by Ryan Martin sent the puck into the top corner, assisted by Corey Wideman and Nick Martin. Drayton regained the lead
a minute later. Another slap shot from the point gave Grasman his second goal and the Drayton lead, set up by Hoekstra and Dave Mulder. Floradale fought hard for the tying goal but Drayton held on for the win.

Wightman exhibit opens at museum By Aryn Strickland ABOYNE - The Wightman Telecom exhibit, titled The First 110 Years, officially opened on Sept. 9 at the Wellington County Museum and Archives. Wightman Telecom was founded in Clifford in the early 1900s, and is the only telephone company in Canada still owned by the same founding family. Family members donated artifacts from their personal collections to pay tribute to their forefathers and Wellington County’s history. “We are a Wellington County-based company,”

said Wightman Telecom cochair Blair Wightman. “We weren’t sure how to celebrate our 110th anniversary, but our family has a large collection of antique phones so we said, ‘Let’s enquire about having a display done here.’” The Wightmans’ stories about the trials they faced over four generations, including two World Wars and the Great Depression, among others, add nuance to the county’s history. “This exhibit is really about their story. [The Wightmans] are so proud of their family and they love what they do,” said Amy Dunlop, curator of the exhibit. “I really wanted that enthusiasm to shine through.” The Wightman exhibit runs until Feb. 3.
Signage grant approved for shop MINTO – The Town of Minto has approved a signage grant for a new business in Harriston’s downtown. “Mailbox Coffee is the newest business in downtown Harriston and is located in the Old Post,” noted business and economic manager Belinda Wick-Graham in a report to Minto council at the Sept. 4 meeting. “Due to its location within the Old Post signage is a key to draw people into the space.” The business, which officially opened on Aug. 11, sells coffee, sandwiches and ice cream from its location at 39 Elora Street. Total cost for the proposed signage work is $245 plus HST, which would qualify the business for a grant of $122, Wick-Graham explained in the report. The town has budgeted Community for $60,000 Program Improvement grants in 2018.

from the neighbouring barn, about 43.5 metres short of the required distance, but only 25.2 metres short when the setback is factored in. Marshall noted there are two existing homes closer to the barn “that would be the control point if barn were to expand. “Planning staff are of the opinion that the criteria under the zoning bylaw for checkerboard lots is generally met and we have prepared a draft bylaw that would permit two dwellings, one on each property, to be constructed,” Marshall told council. Yvonne Van Soest explained the lots’ checkerboard status is because there is land between the two lots

MAPLETON – Township council wants more information on Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) and traffic concerns before moving forward with a zoning change to allow residential construction on two rural lots. Yvonne and Jeff Van Soest of Soestdale Holsteins have applied for an amendment to rezone two existing lots near the intersection of Wellington Roads 8 and 10 to provide relief from the minimum setback to a Natural Environment (NE) Zone at the back of the properties and MDS 1 setback requirements to allow for single detached dwellings on the lots. The lots are currently zoned Agricultural with a
site-specific exception prohibiting development until the vacant lots are rezoned to ensure that specific conditions are met including MDS setbacks to neighboring barns. The applicants have also requested relief for a reduced lot area on one of the lots. At a Sept. 11 public meeting on the application, Wellington County planner Curtis Marshall explained the closest of the proposed lots to a farm across the road is 184 metres from the barn, about 19 metres short of the required distance. However, he noted, the required front yard setback of 18 metres cuts the difference down to one metre. Marshall said the second lot is only 160 metres

6 | THE COMMUNITY NEWS | SEPTEMBER 20, 2018
By Pastor Mark McCready Alma Bible Church
Sin vs Grace Shortly after moving to the Alma area, my wife and I hosted a family at our house for dinner. Over the course of the meal, as part of the natural flow of the conversation, they got to asking how my new job was going. We talked and talked, and eventually I could see that they would enjoy a tour of the church building where I was now serving. This family had very little religious affiliation, but they were very interested in knowing how we were doing. So we took them
once I have read about how it is God’s kindness that leads us to repentance. People will often say that the God of the Old Testament is an angry God. But then I wonder, what do you do with a guy like Jacob? Jacob’s story is a fascinating one. If the idea is that the God of the Old Testament is harsh, then surely Jacob presents some problems. Jacob lived his life deceiving people. The first example we get of this is when Jacob takes advantage of his brother when he is tired and hungry. When his brother is weak, he convinces him
to the church, and gave them a tour. As we walked into the building, the question was asked “will lightning strike if I walk into this building?”. Now, I have heard that joke before. The question is - do people really believe this? On the one hand, people should be afraid of God. They should believe this. God hates sin. Maybe if more people understood how much God hates sin, we wouldn’t be in the mess we are presently in. The flip side, is that if this is all we believe about God, then we have forgotten that whole side about His kindness. In fact more than
to sell his birthright (his inheritance). Later in life, he deceives his father in order to receive a blessing from his father in place of his brother. It is easily understood that following this, Jacob had to flee for his life. The anger of his brother had boiled over. You would think that Jacob would learn. But his scheming ways didn’t end there. Jacob eventually married, and the relationship with his father was tenuous at best. The scheming continued. But you know what? Despite all of this, God never destroyed Jacob. In fact God blessed Jacob and not only
blessed him, but included him in the direct lineage of Jesus. If there is a lesson for us as we look at the life of Jacob, it is that God is slow to judge, and is very patient, showing great kindness. Jacob did things that caused people to want to kill him. Yet God was so gracious with him. So think again of that guy living in fear of lightning striking if he walked into the church building. Well, it seems to me that God is more interested in forgiving, and in having a relationship with us then he is in judging and killing. Whatever sins this
guy may have committed, I can’t see them being any worse then what Jacob might have done. In fact we are told in the Bible that God’s grace is sufficient for all of us. No matter what we may have done, God’s first response is not judgment, but kindness, and then we need to remember that His grace is sufficient to cover any thing that we may have done, no matter how bad we think it might be. Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? Romans 2:4

the couple does not own. “With the checkerboard situation the lands can’t be used for agriculture,” she explained. “Without cooperation of those landowners
would only amount to a five acre field. “Right now it’s sitting there with weeds on it and they’re good size lots and that’s why we submitted this application at this time.” Uwe Claussen, owner of the neighbouring farm expressed concern about future restrictions on the operation if development of the lots proceeds. “It’s a century farm. Its been in our family for many, many generations and will likely be in the family for many more generations. So, from that perspective, my concern is that my kids or grandkids, sometime in the future, are not restricted for use of that barn because of MDS requirements,” Claussen stated. “If there is relief from that, we would like some sort of written documentation that it doesn’t restrict future use of that barn and we would like to see that in a deed of those properties.” Claussen also expressed concern about the proximity of any entrance to the lots to

the intersection of the two county roads. In regard to the MDS concerns, Marshall said the township could explore reciprocal zoning on the two lots, which would exempt the lots from MDS concerns if the barn was to expand. “Basically we’d be acknowledging as far as MDS calculations go for the barn that these two lots don’t exist,” Marshall explained. Marshall also said county engineering staff have indicated the driveway on the closest lot would have to go as far from the intersection as possible, which would be addressed through an access permit. Councillor Lori Woodham said she asked Mapleton Fire Chief Rick Richardson about traffic accidents at the intersection and learned that in past 10 years there have been 13 accidents at the corner, three in the past year. “When you look at how close that driveway will still be to that intersection, again I can’t help but wonder how

planner to investigate the feasibility of a reciprocal zoning agreement regarding MDS conditions and on the county’s policy on driveway access in close proximity to major intersections of county roads.
LOVERS OF THE
BIRDS Drayton Public Library (your birding resource)
Our Wellington County Library system offers birders excellent resources to enhance their experience. Novice or seasoned, there is something for you. You are welcome to sign out binoculars, high-quality Vortex, Diamondbacks with instructions. If you do not own binoculars experiment before buying a pair. If you are considering buying a second pair, you may make comparisons. The 2016 Sibley Birds East bird book, by David Allen Sibley, is included in the kit. It is ‘the most comprehensive, portable, useful, and beautiful regional guide to birds’. Features are: related species side-by-side comparison; expanded habitat, voice and behaviour descriptions; range maps; and most current common names for every species. A variety of bird guides are on the shelves. The Drayton branch houses resources, or is able to bring them in from anywhere within Wellington County, and remarkably outside it. They offer special events where topics of interest include birding, road trips, crafts, gardening etc. Facilitators are all very knowledgeable. Some events are hands on. Carnegie Café is offered most months, and is free of charge. With life getting back to normal after the summer hiatus, drop in or call 905-638-3788 to find out what is coming up. Gary and I were delighted to see the return of at least one pair of Eastern Bluebirds. He built several more houses and set them up. They arrived on April 24th. These birds have 2 broods of 4-5 young. They are not timid around humans and as of August are still here. They eat berries and perch on hydro wires looking for insects. New for us in 2018 are House Wrens. They have delighted us all day, all summer with their bubbly melodies. Two broods are laid in bird houses with 6-8 eggs each. P.S.—I saw my first Purple Martin!!
