Township calls for shop design proposals

by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – The township has called for design proposals for a new municipal maintenance facility.

Mapleton council approved a draft request for proposals prepared by staff at the Sept.

9 meeting.

Although the township is awaiting a decision from Wellington County council on a proposal to also locate a new county works garage at the Mapleton administration centre property on Sideroad 16,

the report indicates, “it is felt prudent to begin the process of retaining a consultant to complete the design of the building replacement, to ensure that the timeline for construction and completion is maintained.”

Public works director Brad McRoberts told council the proposal to move the county works operation, currently housed on John St. in Drayton, to the administration centre property was endorsed earlier that day at a meeting of the Wellington County Roads

Committee. Roberts said county council is expected to deal with the proposal later in the month.

The request for proposal for the Mapleton facility was issued Sept. 19, with a closing date of Oct. 31. The bids will be evaluated by the CAO, director of public works, director of financial services and operations manager.

The new facility will replace a township works shed on the same property which was destroyed by fire in December.

Optimists to host candidates meeting in Alma Oct. 9 ALMA – A second municipal candidate’s meeting has been scheduled in Mapleton.

The Alma Optimist Club will host a meeting at the Alma Community Centre on

Oct. 9 at 7:30pm.

The Conestogo Cottagers Association is also hosting a meeting at the PMD Arena Complex in Drayton beginning at 10am on Oct. 4.

Surplus road funds diverted to repair collapsed storm sewer

by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – The township will use surplus funds from an under-budget road project to replace a collapsed storm sewer in Moorefield.

At the Sept. 9 meeting public works director Brad McRoberts advised council the Sixteenth Line/Concession 16 resurfacing project is expected to come in about $190,000 under budget.

He also explained that over the winter an old clay tile storm sewer on Adam Brown Street in Moorefield collapsed.

McRoberts said he feels the storm sewer should be replaced as soon as possible prior to the winter season to ensure proper drainage in the area during winter thaw events and spring melt and rainfall events.

“We do have what I would call an emergency situation,” he told council.

Staff are currently in the process of obtaining a proposal for the design of the storm sewer, after which estimates of the project cost can be determined. Staff are predicting the project cost should be well under $75,000 including engineering, construction and contingency.

“As this project would be a tax-supported initiative it is recommended that the excess budget from the resurfacing of Sixteenth Line/Concession 16 be reallocated to this project. The reallocation should be from the taxation portion of the excess budget,” suggested McRoberts in his report.

Council authorized the reallocation of up to $75,000 of excess capital funds from the Sixteenth Line/Concession 16 resurfacing project to the replacement of the collapsed storm sewer.

MAPLETON - Voldemort (the lizard, not the wizard) is an escape artist. The blue-tongue skink that is native to Australia made his break approximately three months ago from an aquarium at his Wellington North Township home. His owner’s searched for him without success.

On Sept. 15 at around 10:10pm, Wellington OPP received a call to attend a home on Wellington Road 7 in Mapleton Township, where the blue tongue skink had been spotted.

The home owner advised they had purchased a used electric fireplace online from a Wellington North Township home approximately two months ago.

It appears the skink had been hiding in the fireplace and went for a ride. The homeowners had noticed her dogs were behaving strangely and food was missing but assumed the growing

grandchildren were responsible.

The lizard was placed in an aquarium by a family member and the previous owner of the fireplace was contacted on the assumption the lizard was their family pet. The skink and his owners were reunited that eve-

ning.

Police made a follow up call the next day to Voldemort’s family who reported he is happy to be home and appears healthy. OPP note this type of skink is non-poisonous and does not pose a threat to any person or animal.

Drayton Heights plans cerebral palsy innovation event DRAYTON - Roughly 17 million lives are affected by cerebral palsy (CP). Drayton Heights Public School will be having a spirit day with students wearing green to show their support for CP sufferers.

Staff will also encourage the students to take part in generation of innovation ideas that would improve the lives for three children in their school that have Cerebral Palsy.

World CP Day is a global innovation project to change the world for people living with cerebral palsy and their families. It is designed to gather ideas from people around the world and make the best of those ideas a reality.

The project is led by a group of non-profit cerebral palsy charities and supported by organizations in over 45 countries. People with cerebral palsy, their family and friends are invited to visit worldcpday. org to suggest ways to improve the lives of people with CP. Each idea is posted to the website as text or video and will only take one minute to read

world” for people with CP and post the ideas on the website.

In November and December 2014 a global world CP Day Panel - including people with cerebral palsy and their families - will select the three best ideas.

Cerebral palsy is a disorder that affects muscle tone, movement and motor skills (the ability to move in a coordinated and purposeful way). It is usually caused by brain damage that occurs before or during a child’s birth, or during the first three to five years of a child’s life.

The brain damage that leads to cerebral palsy can also lead to other health issues, including vision, hearing and speech problems, and learning disabilities. There is no cure for CP, but treatment, therapy, special equipment and, in some cases, surgery can help a child living with the condition.

Anyone needing financial help for a family member with cerebral palsy is encouraged to visit www.bringingheaven2earth.org.

PAGE TWO The Community News, Friday, September 26, 2014

Alma Bible Church celebrates 25th anniversary with weekend-long event surrounding community. In the early years, Alma Bible Church benefited from the generosity of members of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Alma, who opened their doors while funds were raised to build the Alma Bible Church building.

“Even in those early days and since, the church has been able to provide fun activities for children and youth, reaching out to those suffering in the community either physically, financially or emotionally, including supporting young women facing crisis pregnancies,” church officials state.

The weekend was brought to a close on Sept. 7 with a time of worship, reflection on the history of the church and a message calling for a renewed vision of God and His call to serve others in the future.

In 25 years, Alma Bible Church has grown into a con-

Randy Pettapiece and Mapleton Mayor Bruce Whale for their participation in the event.

At the ceremony, each of the honourary guests took time to recognize Alma Bible Church and other local organizations that provide various programs and activities which benefit the children and youth of the community.

From its birth, on March 26, 1989, when a small group of people began meeting in the town of Alma, the church has desired to reach out to the

Council considers request to rebuild barn within hamlet area

by Patrick Raftis

MAPLETON – While neither the county’s official plan nor the local zoning bylaw permits barns in hamlets, Mapleton council is considering a zoning amendment to allow a replacement barn in Wallenstein.

The applicant, John Martin of Millside Industries, wants to replace an existing barn with a smaller barn with less livestock capacity further to the north and further away from potential residential development on an 18.9-acre property on Yatton Sideroad.

The requested amendment would permit the replacement of an older, bank barn with a new, smaller barn. The existing barn has a livestock capacity for 50 beef feeders and five horses, while the new barn would hold five horses and 25 beef feeders.

Relief from Minimum Distance Separation (MDS 2) is also a consideration.

Wellington County planner Mark Van Patter stated in a report at the Sept. 9 Mapleton council meeting, his main concern is that the new barn does not compromise the potential to develop residential lots along the property’s frontage on Yatton Sideroad.

“If this were in a location outside of a hamlet, and the future dwellings existed already, the proposed barn could be built based on a Type A land use factor,” stated Van Patter. However, he noted, when it came time to sever the residential lots, further zoning relief would be required as the MDS 1 setback is from the lot line, not the dwelling as it is for MDS 2.

“Council should also consider whether the new barn could be located even further north to increase setbacks from Yatton Sideroad,” Van Patter advised.

Since there is an existing barn on the property, Van Patter pointed out, the zoning bylaw permits the strengthening or restoration of a nonconforming building.

“The situation might be worse if he is forced to strengthen the existing barn in its current location,” Van Patter suggested.

“How would that be worse?” asked councillor Mike Downey, who pointed out that if the existing barn stays in place it would simply preclude building on the lots in question due to MDS restrictions.

“If that barn stays there those lots would be non-existent,” said Downey.

“Yes, and that would be too bad, because it’s a hamlet area,” replied Van Patter.

Council directed Van Patter to prepare a draft amending bylaw for consideration at a future meeting.

Rescue scenario - Mapleton firefighters recently conducted training exercises at the Conestogo Dam. Training officers set up a scenario involving someone needing medical assistance at the bottom of the dam gates, approximately 90 feet down. “Our team had to go down with an air monitor, assess the patient, package them up in a stokes basket and with everyone’s assistance, raise them to the surface to transport in an ambulance. It was very beneficial training that could be used in silos, bins etc.,” stated Fire Chief Rick Richardson. submitted photo

Time to recognize youth Take a look around - at school, in the library, at church or on the field. There are young stars everywhere and they deserve to be recognized for their hard work. These stars are making a difference, inspiring others and building our community. Nominate them for one of the 2014 Junior Citizen of the Year Awards. The program strives not only to recognize the dozen or so outstanding people who will be the recipients of awards, but also gives deserving recognition in their own communities to hundreds of others.

To achieve this, everyone nominated receives a certificate of congratulations.

The program is coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association with the support of its 300 member newspapers, including the Community News and numerous sponsors.

Nominations may come from anyone in the community who wishes to recognize a deserving young person. Nominations should document the activities of the nominee with letters, newspaper clippings, recommendations, photographs, etc.

Nominees from previous years who continue their noteworthy endeavours are eligible to be nominated again. New nomination forms and updated documentation are required.

Nominations will be accepted until Nov. 30.

Nomination and supporting forms are available in both pdf and Microsoft Word formats. The ‘Word’ format document you will be able to complete on a computer. The PDF document can be printed and written on. Forms can be e-mailed to jr.citizen@ocna.org, faxed to 905-639-6962 or mailed to OCNA. Forms and address information may be found at: www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen. Completed forms may also be returned to the Community News office.

Each submission must include at least two supporting nominations.

Any resident of Ontario, aged six to 17 years (must be at least six years, but no older than 17 years by Nov. 30), is eligible to receive an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award. Only individuals may be nominated.

Nominees may be involved in community service; young people who are contributing while living with a physical or psychological limitation; those who have performed acts of heroism or bravery in the past year or accomplished excellence in personal achievements.

A committee of community newspaper publishers, editors and sponsors will select the award recipients from all nominations received. Up to 12 individuals will be chosen. Recipients and their families are invited to attend an awards ceremony in Toronto in March 2015. Final recipients will be announced on Jan. 23, 2015.

PERTH WELLINGTON Stephen McCotter, St. Marys municipal councillor and area lawyer, will be running for a seat in the federal legislature as the Liberal candidate for PerthWellington.

McCotter announced last week he had been confirmed by the Liberal Party as a “green lit” candidate and can now seek nomination.

In August, McCotter announced he would not run for mayor of St. Marys or seek re-election to council. Instead, he is aiming to be a standing candidate in the 2015 federal election.

McCotter has lived and worked in St. Marys all his life and considers Perth-Wellington “a place of community and opportunity.”

His decision to enter federal politics is driven by a number of decisions made in Ottawa over the past 10 years, which he feels, have had a negative impact on the towns and communities in Perth-Wellington.

In particular, he cites the phasing out of home mail delivery, uncertainty and increased foreign competition for local farmers, the disappearance of a vast number of well-paying jobs, cuts to local VIA Rail service, and declining financial support for the arts.

McCotter, 42, is a lifelong resident of St. Marys and graduate of the University of Western Ontario (Finance and Economics). After graduation,

several communities before settling and establishing his carriage business in Elora.

Max Noble, a man who loved to tell stories and tease his listeners, was the grandson of James Noble who purchased the squatters’ rights for this 100-acre farm from James Love in 1847. James, his son Robert and his grandson Max made their home on this farm until Max retired and sold it to a neighbour in 1966.

The student’s essay tells of the immigration, the walk through the forest to the township, the buildings erected, the tractors and cars Max had purchased, and brief glimpses of the family history. Mrs. Noble’s story relates a much broader view of the family. Of the tragedies that befell family members, the homes and farm

but had completely forgotten that the essay was for any competition. Several of my class mates had written essays that same year.

One essay about the Noble family and farm on Lot 17, Concession 15, former Maryborough Township caught my attention, perhaps because I knew the family and lived nearby. In 1951 a neigbour’s son had interviewed Maxwell ‘Max’ Noble and set down the family story. In 1971 an essay written by Gertrude Noble, Max’s third wife, tells again the history of the family and the farm.

James Noble and his brothers Samuel and George came to Canada from Ireland. James and Samuel settled on farms in Maryborough and George, a carriage maker, worked in

PAGE SIX The Community News, Friday, September 26, 2014

By Ken Thompson, Funeral Director, Heritage Funeral Home, Drayton

A helping community Anyone who has suffered a loss, knows friends and neighbours sometimes arrive before you even realize what has happened. When you live in a tight knit community the support can sometimes be overwhelming.

You will have so many casserole dishes that you can hardly remember who brought them for you and your family. It certainly is a wonderful feeling knowing your family is cared for by an entire community.

Having this kind of support can also take some pressure off the family that has suffered a loss.

They will have lots of family

at the house and that means that there are more people at the supper table. When they are dealing with visitation and the funeral they don’t have the time to get a meal together for everyone. So having the extra food and hands around is a big help.

The support of the community continues through the visitation and funeral service with friends and family traveling to show their support and pay respects. It is so important for families that have suffered a loss, to have friends and family near them to help them cope with the loss that they have suffered. Being there and giving a gentle hug or words of condolence along with sharing stories are some ways that help

your friends in the community.

After the funeral people start to go back to their everyday routine. This can sometimes leave a void in a family’s support system, after the previous few days of almost tripping over relative and friends that were there to help.

A sense of loneliness can come to set in, not only have they lost their loved one but it feels like they have lost their friends as they go back to work. I have been told by a number of families that they got through the visitation and funeral without a problem but about four or five days later they began to wonder what really happened. The emotions that they feel a week after the initial loss can be stronger than

any emotions that they have felt before.

Some of the reasons that this can happen is that extended family and friends are going back to work and just aren’t able to juggle their schedule the same.

The family then begins to wonder what happened - “Is it something that I have done that has drove everyone away?

Don’t they care that I’m feeling a loss?” This is certainly not the case, we all wish that the world would stop so we could take the time to heal before we step back outside.

One way to help friends through this time is to try and keep in touch with them. If you live far away try e-mailing them or giving them a call. If

you live close to them give them a call and go over for a visit, this helps remind them that people still care and they haven’t been forgotten. For the first little while the conversations may be short but as time goes on, things will get back to normal.

You could also drop off a care package of food, this may seem strange as it may be a week or two after the funeral but sometimes it can be difficult to find a reason to cook a meal for just yourself. Inviting them over for an evening meal and visit can help get them out of the house. There are also instances where grocery shopping is not something that they feel like doing either. When you go out in public you see

a lot more people and they will ask how things are going.

Some people will try to avoid this kind of contact for a while so the cupboards can become empty and then there is not a lot of variety for making meals either.

These are just a few ideas in how to help to support someone in your community that has lost a loved one. The important thing to remember is to do what feels right for you and your family and friends. We all grieve differently and what one person feels may be different than someone else.

If you have any questions feel free to call Ken Thompson, Mary Thompson or Vic Roberts at Heritage Funeral Homes 519-638-3072.

by Patrick Raftis PALMERSTON – A local business has purchased a 3.23 acre lot in the Palmerston Industrial Park to expand its manufacturing operation.

Tucker Industries, currently located on King Street in Palmerston plans to build a 10,000 to 12,000 square foot metalworking and fabrication shop on the property, located north of MSW Plastics, for $15,000 per acre. Business and economic manager Belinda Wick-Graham reported at the Sept. 15 council meeting that terms of the agreement also include a right of first refusal on the purchase of an adjoining three-acre lot.

Wick-Graham explained the company originally approached the town about the lot back in May. After working through concerns over sanitary sewer access with Triton Engineering, the parties agreed the purchaser would install

water and sanitary sewer laterals at their cost with a pump inside the building to direct sewage from the site to the town’s main.

The agreement also waives the standard requirement for a building with lot coverage of 15 per cent. The proposed facility would only cover about 7% of the lot.

“The reason I’m okay with that is they don’t need a huge building to do what they do, but they do need room for trucking and staging,” Wick-Graham noted. She also pointed out the town has accommodated other purchasers in similar fashion in the past, particularly in cases where future expansion is anticipated.

“It’s not like we’d be bending a rule here, doing something that we’ve never done before. It’s part of doing business,” agreed councillor Dave Turton.

While the agreement con-

tains a provision requiring construction to commence within a year Wick-Graham said the company plans to start building within 30 days. She also pointed out the sale will keep an existing business in Minto, as well as allow them to expand their operations both in terms of square footage and workforce.

“This is a business that wants to stay. They’d be consolidating and expanding and they’d be doubling their workforce,” said Wick-Graham.

“It’s a perfect story for business retention and expansion.”

Founded in 2010 by owner Jason Montgomery, Tucker Industries provides automated systems, special-purpose tooling and mechanical and electrical design as well as programming and productivityimprovement consulting. The company currently has three full-time and three part-time employees.

Board EQAO results continue to disappoint

by Meagan Leonard GUELPH – Education leaders are disappointed after the latest round of EQAO test results released last week, show students in the Upper Grand District School Board are falling below the provincial benchmark in math, reading and writing. Many scores had also fallen since last year’s testing.

Although mathematics scores are on the decline province-wide, UGDSB chair Mark Bailey says he is still unsatisfied with the results.

“I am disappointed this year,” he said in the release.

“We’ll have to do more analysis and put specific steps in the

board and school improvement plans to increase these skills.

We need to find out why we are lagging behind in the province.

I know we can do better, not just in math, but in reading and writing too.”

Scores reflect the percentage of students at or above the provincial standard.

Grade 6 reading and writing rose by three to five percentage points to 79 per cent for reading, and 75% for writing. This put the UGDSB on par with the provincial reading level, but 3% below average for writing.

Junior students did not fare so well in mathematics with scores at a five-year low, down Continued on page 8

Youth gather in Luther Marsh Youth Outdoors Day - Herman Lavigne popped 495 bags of popcorn to serve to kids and their parents attending Youth Outdoors Day 2014 on Sept.

13 at Luther Marsh. Driscoll Farms of Moorefield supplied the popcorn machine and young people enjoyed a healthy snack at the event.

Rainy weather added some challenges but there was a good showing of participants with 245 students and 145 parents attending the one-day event. LEFT: Wellington Farm Safety Association volunteer Walter Grose of Alma, left, taught campfire 101 at the event. After learning how to safely make a fire, students roasted marshmallows and made s’mores. submitted photos

Georgia Ring Shouters - The Georgie Ring Shouters are set to perform at the 2014 Underground Railroad Music Festival. The group’s ancestors have lived in Macintosh county since the 1700s and have kept alive the songs, stories and healing traditions of their families who came from Africa to the Georgia Sea Islands. The festival, which originated in Mapleton, is being held Sept. 26 to 28 at venues in Fergus, St. Catharines and Toronto. For more information go to www.braithwaiteandwhiteley.com/ music-festival. submitted photo

Board officials disappointed by EQAO results FROM PAGE SIX 2% from last year to 50%. The provincial average for math was 54%.

Grade 3 students did not meet the provincial average in any testing areas, falling behind Ontario’s score of 70% in reading to finish at 66%.

Similarly, UGDSB came in at 72% for writing, putting them 6% behind the province’s score of 78. In math, primary students finished at 60%, falling behind the province at 67%.

With test results continuing to be less than satisfactory, board staff have come up with some next steps to

combat the issue. According to the release, these include: “upholding the belief that all students can achieve, requiring School Improvement Plans to have a greater mathematics focus, and supporting teachers to deliver a balanced numeracy program that includes basic skills, problem solving and targeted instruction.”

The EQAO tests were conducted across the province in May and June. There were six tasks: two in reading, writing and mathematics.

Results for Mapleton area schools are as follows: - Alma PS, Grade 3: 48 reading, 48 writing, 33 math;

Grade 6: 82 reading, 86 writing, 55 math; - Centre Peel PS, Grade 3: 46 reading, 36 writing, 29 math; Grade 6: 70 reading, 65 writing, 30 math; - Drayton Heights PS, Grade 3: 84 reading, 80 writing, 84 math; Grade 6: 72 reading, 69 writing, 53 math; - Maryborough PS, Grade 3: 56 reading, 64 writing, 52 math; Grade 6: 82 reading, 100 writing, 82 math; and - Palmerston PS, Grade 3: 24 reading, 30 writing, 12 math; Grade 6: 80 reading, 74 writing, 43 math.
