Mapleton approves extra hours for bylaw enforcement/property standards officer
Cancer fighters - On Sept. 12, this group, including 10 present or former residents of Mapleton, joined 4,500 other people in Toronto for a 25km walk for the Shoppers Drug Mart One Walk to Conquer Cancer. The team walked under the name Theresa’s Team of Hope in honour of Theresa Scholten and her cancer journey, which began 13 years ago. Together the team of 12 raised more than $22,000 which they have designated to breast cancer research. In total the event raised more than $7.5 million which will all go to cancer research at the Princess Margaret Hospital. Participants offered, “A big thank you to all those in the community who supported Theresa’s Team of Hope.” From left: front, Liane Bults, Trish Murray, Tracy DeWeerd and Betty Bults; back, Theresa Scholten, Pam Scholten, Lisa Geerlinks, Lori Klopper, Julie Redekop, Kristie Walraven, Alissa Bults and Rachel Vandenberg, submitted photo
Mayor wants discussion on proposal to amalgamate Wellington hospital boards by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - Council here has directed staff to prepare a report on local hospital amalgamation discussions. Mayor Neil Driscoll suggested on Sept. 22 that Mapleton council should have a discussion on the situation at a future meeting. “I have received a few emails (on the topic) that I have forwarded on to local hospital board and to staff and I would like to set aside some time at the next meeting to discuss this issue,” said Driscoll. “I really want to know what’s going on
… I’d like to know the ins and outs of it because I don’t understand the process.” In the course of preparing the report, acting CAO Brad McRoberts has been directed to talk to CAOs of other Wellington municipalities to get their take on the issue. The Waterloo Wellington Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) has directed the boards of Wellington County’s two hospital corporations to amalgamate by Nov. 30. The LHIN has appointed a consultant from KPMG to act as facilitator for amalgamation dis-
cussions between the board of Groves Memorial Community Hospital in Fergus and North Wellington Health Care, which operates Palmerston and District Hospital and Louise Marshall Hospital in Mount Forest. The two corporations have operated for over a decade under an alliance that includes sharing of a CAO and key staff members. The LHIN wants further governance integration and Groves board has expressed a preference for total amalgamation while NWHC supports the concept of a “more robust alliance.”
by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - Township council will give notice it plans to terminate a three-way service sharing agreement for the services of a bylaw enforcement and property standards officer. The municipality plans to utilize more of the employee’s time in Mapleton. Since June of 2014, Mapleton has been sharing the services of bylaw enforcement and property standards officer Maurita Boyle with North Perth and Perth East. Shared costs include wages (based on each municipality’s usage), cell phone, laptop, training courses, memberships to professional organizations, clothing and other equipment costs. Mapleton will continue to share Boyle’s services with North Perth. She will work up to 24 hours a week in the township and up to 10 in North Perth. The current allocation is for her to work up to 14 hours in Mapleton. A report presented at the Sept. 22 council meeting indicates Mapleton chief building official Patty Wright feels the township would benefit from additional hours from Boyle, who would be cross-trained to assist in other areas. “The bylaw enforcement officer would be trained for septic inspection in preparation for a possible septic re-inspection program and to provide additional support to the building department,” Wright stated. “At present there are bylaws and records to update, and the additional hours could be utilized for these administrative duties.”
The report also notes the building department is a “financially self-supporting” department. “As the wages are paid from building department revenue there will be no adverse effect on the tax base,” Wright stated. She said keeping up with paperwork and getting files up to date are among the key areas where the local building department could use additional hours. Councillor Lori Woodham suggested council hold off on any staffing changes until after a new CAO is hired. Former CAO Patty Sinnamon was let to on July 2. The township has hired the consulting firm of Bellchamber and Associates to assist with the recruitment process, which is expected to be completed by late November. “I would like to defer this report. I think we are in a transition,” said Woodham. She also said township staff received a memorandum from Mayor Neil Driscoll on Aug. 25 indicating there would be no changes to staffing “until our CAO has had a chance to realign responsibilities.” “I didn’t say there would be no changes ... my letter to staff meant there would be no more firings in my mind,” replied Driscoll. “That’s not to say if someone grossly didn’t do their job that council couldn’t very quickly change their mind.” In October of 2014, four public works management positions were eliminated and three new positions were created as a result of a previous round of restructuring facilitated by Bellchamber. The
same consulting firm assisted with the process that led to the June 20, 2014 hiring of public works director and acting CAO Brad McRoberts to replace former works director Larry Lynch, who was terminated in December of 2013. Councillor Michael Martin asked “is there a sense of urgency” to the need for the additional manpower? “Do we have a backlog of work that would be detrimental to the department if it’s not done?” “We are behind on our paper work and we are behind on our files. Is that detrimental? Is that an urgency? In all fairness, no,” said Wright. However, she added, “I don’t want it to get too far behind.” Comments from Driscoll indicated a problem in terms of scheduling the employee’s time between the three municipalities. “Two municipalities are cooperating very well with the calendar and there’s one that unfortunately doesn’t understand the calendar,” he stated. Driscoll said he felt additional hours allocated to bylaw enforcement could be well utilized. “We are getting a lot of complaints about the illegal businesses running out in the municipality and it’s been a long time since anyone looked into it,” he stated. “I think this is a promising recommendation from the building department.” Martin suggested Mapleton could learn from the experience of a neighbouring municipality that, “took it in-house and made a full-time position then quickly realized there is Continued on page 3
Township to reimburse Optimist Club for work on meeting hall in Moorefield
by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - Township council has agreed to reimburse the Moorefield Optimist Club $3,644 for work done by club members on the Optimist Hall in Moorefield. On Sept. 22 council approved a motion by councillor Michael Martin to pay the funds to cover the cost of a peak roof addition. The township will also pay the cost of a building permit.
In March, council declined to pay for the work on the municipally-owned building because it was done without a building permit or prior township approval. The work has since undergone a full inspection and a permit has been issued by chief building official Patty Wright. “I did speak with a member of the building committee from the Optimists and they were very happy with the interaction Main St. W.

they had with the township CBO and are fully prepared to adopt the township’s policy,” said Martin. “Hopefully it’s resolved now.” Councillor Marlene Ottens asked if the funds for the roof work would come out of $5,000 budgeted for hall maintenance “or is this over and above that?” “In my mind it comes out of the $5,000,” said Mayor Neil Continued on page 3
Car show contribution - Mapleton Custom Rodders recently presented Palmerston and District Hospital Foundation (PDHF) development officer Dale Franklin with a $500 donation from the proceeds of their 19th annual car show held in June. This is the club’s eighth donation to the hospital, bringing the grand total raised for the PDHF to $4,000.

Institute members attend Tribute Tea ALMA - Alma Women’s Institute members were guests of the Wellington County Library at a Tribute Tea held at the Marden library branch on Sept. 17. Chief librarian Murray McCabe and his staff welcomed members of Wellington County WI branches. Tables were decorated and set with china cups and saucers, a fancy teapot and dainty treats. Several speakers spoke on the value of the Tweedsmuir Histories which have been kept for many years recording the history of many communities in Wellington County and which are now microfilmed and in the archives of the Wellington County Museum. An anniversary cake was
served honouring the West End WI l00th anniversary. A musical interlude was provided by the Royal City Ambassadors. On Sept. 18, the regular meeting of the Alma WI was held at the Alma Community Hall. It was reported that the group’s latest history book is selling well and that the Alma branch will be hosting the Guelph Area Convention on Oct. 7 at the Alma Community Hall. The program convenors were Ann Whale and Sharon O’Sullivan. Sullivan reminded members of the danger of too much sodium in diets and had many products on display reminding of the importance of reading la-
bels on grocery products when shopping. It was suggested that 10% sodium is okay for most people. O’Sullivan spoke on grassraised beef and pollination by bumble bees, and the importance of Monarch butterflies. Many suggestions were discussed, noting the importance of having flowers and plants to have in gardens to encourage pollination. Grace was sung and a lunch was served by Lenora Arbuckle and Marg Hall. The meeting was under the direction of president Shirley Fletcher. The next meeting is Oct. 15 at 1:30pm at the Alma Community Hall. New members and guests are welcome. Submitted by Pat Salter

YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER
EDITORIAL
While some may be some may be experiencing election fatigue due to the historic length of the current marathon federal campaign, one benefit has been an increase in opportunities to see national party leaders gathered to debate the issues. It’s one thing to listen to prime ministerial aspirants announce their policies unchallenged before partisan crowds at a seeminglyendless series of staged events - it’s quite another to see how a plan stands up to a withering attack by a well prepared opponent. In that respect, most pundits seemed to feel the Sept. 28 Munk debate, which featured a great deal of clearly unscripted banter was a win for democracy, allowing voters some insight into not only the policies, but the personalities of the major party leaders. Local residents are about to get a chance to experience the same type of exchange on a local level. Perth-Wellington riding candidates will gather at the Alma Community Centre on Oct. 6 for an opportunity to present their views to constituents first-hand. Mapleton and area residents are particularly fortunate as the Oct. 6 candidates meeting, scheduled for 7pm, is one of only three scheduled in the Wellington portion of the riding, the others were held on Sept. 30 in Harriston and Oct. 1 in Kenilworth. Thanks are due to the Alma Optimist Club for stepping up to host this important gathering for local citizens. It should provide a rare chance for voters to connect with the personalities behind the pamphlets Patrick Raftis
Improving the odds “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm” is the theme of Fire Prevention Week 2015, Oct. 4 to 10. Fire Prevention Canada (FPC) points out having a working smoke alarm near bedroom areas at each level of a residence is a key factor in preventing fire deaths and increasingly required by law. New technology allows smoke alarms to be interconnected, so an alarm on any one activates them all, giving residents precious seconds to react and safely escape from a house fire. Therefore, FPC is recommending smoke alarms be installed in each bedroom. With roughly half of all home fire deaths occurring between 11pm and 7 am when people are asleep, simply ensuring your home is adequately outfitted with working smoke alarms is one of the best ways to protect your family from harm.

Rural issue - Mapleton Fire Chief Rick Richardson says much can be done to prevent barn fires.
We’re proud to support the Mapleton Township Volunteer Fire Departments and Fire Prevention Week

Prevent fire from devastating your farm by Olivia Rutt DRAYTON - The fire that destroyed a barn and claimed the lives of 92 veal calves here in August is still fresh in Fire Chief Rick Richardson’s mind. On average, Mapleton Fire Rescue is called out to one barn fire a year in Mapleton, plus an additional call for neighbouring townships, said Richardson. While they do not happen often in Wellington County, barn fires are devastating when they do happen, leading to losses that could be upwards of a million dollars, he said. Richardson would like farmers to focus on stopping fires before they start, and being prepared if they do, as fire prevention week (Oct. 4 to 10) approaches. Barn fires typically occur in bank barns, which are built into a slope and house hay on the top floor, said Richardson. Fire can be caused by a number of factors, including electrical failure or spontaneous combustion. Continued on next page

that decay of electrical equipment, which can happen in less than five years, increases the threat of fires inside livestock barns. Richardson added that improperly installed heat lamps, misused extension chords and dirty fans used for circulation can be causes of barn fire. While barn fires are usually devastating to the property, Richardson says there is a lot farmers can do to prevent a tragedy. Richardson suggests having an electrician go through the electrical systems at the barn, having extinguish-
ers within 50 feet, and reducing the amount of loose straw. Fire Prevention Canada also suggests: - install smoke alarms in all principal buildings; - keep cistern and stock ponds relatively full and provide clear access to water source; - ensure all electrical wiring is inspected and up to code; - refuel equipment and internal combustion engines outside, but never while running and only once cool; - designate safe smoking areas away from barns, crops, storage or flammable materi-
als; - burn rubbish in an incinerator equipped with a spark arrestor and never in a high wind; - do not use fumigants near an open flame or electric equipment; and - clean up; remove all trash from the property. Richardson said spontaneous combustion is also a significant cause of barn fires. “A lot of our fires occur because of hay. Once the hay gets on fire, even a spark, once a few bales get on ... there’s no saving it,” he said. Fire Prevention Canada

recommends farmers provide proper ventilation for storage, ensure crops are well-dried and properly cured, check for spontaneous heating hazards regularly and have fire fighting equipment immediately accessible during storage. Richardson added farmers can request the fire prevention officer from Mapleton Township take a look at the property “They’ll arrange for us to go out and take a look to see if any hazards are there that they could maybe correct,” he said, adding farmers should constantly check for hazards.

of the Tower Street Bridge in Fergus in 2014, county staff asked members of Centre Wellington council what they would like for the parapet wall on the bridge and determined the Texas-style railing was the preferred option. The railing had the look and feel council thought appropriate for their community and it would link the communities of Elora and Fergus as the two bridges would share a common feature. Preferred option The county is in the process of rehabilitating another urban bridge in the Village of Drayton. Again members of the local council were asked which type of parapet wall they would like on the rehabilitated bridge and the Texas style railing was the preferred option. “Staff are recommending that when urban bridges (13 or 14 of 106 total bridges) in the future require replacement or rehabilitation that the Texas style open railing be the preferred choice for the parapet wall,” states the report. “Utilizing the same parapet wall for all urban bridges will create a feature that is distinct to Wellington County and link communities of Wellington together as they will have a common feature.” The report notes the additional cost for the railing is estimated at $350/lineal metre.
