Township selects firm to develop new municipal cultural plan by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - Mapleton council has approved the selection of Millier, Dickieson and Blais to develop a municipal cultural plan. The firm’s proposal to do the project for $26,275 was chosen from among five bidders at the Sept. 16 meeting of the economic development committee and approved by council on Sept. 22. A report from business development and marketing coordinator Crystal Ellis notes Mapleton was successful in its application to the County of Wellington’s BRE (Business Retention and Expansion) Municipal Implementation Fund and has been granted $25,000 towards the creation

of the cultural plan, which was originally budgeted at $40,000. Originally, with $25,000 obtained from the county, the remaining $15,000 was allocated in the 2014 budget, but the lower bid means less will come from the township. “The proposal received from Millier, Dickieson Blais will see just under $5,000 being funded from the Mapleton budget this year,� Ellis noted in her report. Municipal cultural planning is a priority in the council-approved Economic Development Strategic Plan and Township of Mapleton 2013 Community Based Strategic Plan, the report points out. “Having completed the

Mapleton branding project in the spring of 2014, the next step is to build upon the momentum of the rebranding project and further identify our cultural assets to strengthening the community identity and future goals. The strategies ... provided in the cultural plan will then be utilized as a valuable tool in attracting and retaining both businesses and residents in our municipality.� Councillor Neil Driscoll asked how the project managed to come in so far under budget. Ellis speculated Mapleton may be benefiting from lower prices from the consulting firm, resulting from experience and efficiencies garnered from creating cultural plans for other municipalities.

DRAYTON - The Rotary Club of Drayton will present “Mapleton Has Talent,� a family/community oriented variety talent show at the beginning of December. “We are looking for interested and talented people from our surrounding community with creative and entertaining acts,� organizers state. This could include groups and/or

individuals with special or unique talent and flare. Acts could include soloists, duets, dancers, comics, karate, magicians and short skits, to name a few. An energetic and charismatic master of ceremonies is also required. “Do you think you have what it takes to dazzle Drayton? Now would be a good opportu-

nity to put yourself out there,� organizers state. A general information meeting for those interested will be held on Oct. 7 at the Drayton Theatre/Library Lounge. Call Lorrie Spaling at 519-6382232 for more details. Admission for the event will be by donation. All funds will go towards the Rotary’s 2015 splash pad project.

Council keeping lots on hold until wastewater capacity issue resolved by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - Council has officially suspended an allocation of 14 units of sewage capacity to Wellingdale Construction after hearing from the township’s engineers and a representative of the local developer on Sept. 23. 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 capacity was available, the township actually had an operational deficit of 61 units. By delaying the allocation “until sufficient capacity becomes available,� as a resolution passed on Sept. 23 states, “we’re not taking it away, just suspending it,� stressed CAO Patty Sinnamon at the meeting. “As soon as we know we have legitimate capacity we could go back and deal with this,� said Mayor Bruce Whale. Gord Feniak, of R.J. Burnside, told council the treat-

ment capacity for which the local plant is rated is “the upset limit of what we are allowed to allocate out.� However, he noted, an “estimated operational capacity,� has been established through monitoring flows for the past year or so. If on any given day the plant exceeds the rated limit, Mapleton would be in violation of provincial regulations, so “you have to set a limit,� said Feniak. “Knowing you can’t go over, we’re finding about 90 per cent of the actual rated capacity is what you can actually use,� he explained. At the Sept. 9 meeting, council approved moving ahead with initiatives aimed at alleviating wastewater capacity limitations, including directing staff to issue a request for proposals (RFP) for the completion of a Class Environmental Assessment for long-term wastewater management. Whale also pointed out that council received a report from public works director Brad McRoberts during a closed

session held before the Sept. 23 meeting on how to proceed “and it’s addressing a lot of things.� Councillor Neil Driscoll said, “I think our engineers and our operators need to communicate more often. I’m not wishing to put the blame on either party, but I think that’s been lacking in the past.� Whale stated, “Hopefully we can get this resolved, although it’s going to take longer than I think we might hope for, but I think we’re on the right track.� John Mohle of Wellingdale Construction was not satisfied with progress on the issue and said refusing to lift the hold on the capacity units, after agreeing to transfer them from the Murray Group to Wellingdale, “constitutes bad faith and conduct by the township. “The fact is, you folks are to give me those units. You gave them to the Murray Group. Where are they?� asked Mohle. “Your operational concerns are not my concern.� Mohle added, “people make

plans based on those unitsâ€? and he suggested that council move into closed session to discuss the matter further. “We’re not going into closed,â€? replied Whale, who asked Mohle, “Was there a commitment that the hold would be lifted? If you have that in writing‌â€? “So that’s the kind of municipality that we we’ve become? That everything has to be in writing?â€? Mohle responded. Councillor Andy Knetsch stated, “Council in good faith made a decision to grant those 14 units ‌ the fact of the matter is we cannot give something that is not there.â€? Knetsch suggested if council “rammed this throughâ€? a relationship built up with the Ministry of Environment while working through the township’s capacity issues “is going to go for naught.â€? “Why do I have to suck it up? That’s what it boils down to,â€? Mohle responded. He also suggested council “better look very, very careful-

ly� at the township’s handling of sewage capacity issues. “We hear what you’re saying. We made a decision on the wrong information and we’re sorry and know we’ve got to deal with it,� said Driscoll. Bill Van Zwol of Wellington Construction noted his company has spent a lot of money in the community “counting on that allotment that is there� and suggested relying on a single engineering opinion is a bad idea. “If it was my business I would have two or three options on the table as to what to do because the municipality has quite a bit of money on the table,� said Van Zwol. “Do you know this is the correct opinion? I bet none of you can, because you’re not experts.� Mohle asked, “Suppose Wellingdale comes up with a completely different engineering opinion? Would you accept that at face value?� “We would certainly review it,� replied Whale. “We don’t want to jeop-

ardize or run the risk of the ministry ignoring us the way they have the last three or four years, saying we haven’t got our act together so we’re not going to deal with it. I’m not any happier than you are about this in terms of the setback,� Whale told Mohle. The mayor said the township is hoping to have a proposal regarding increasing capacity ready to go to the ministry by February. Mohle asked council to respond in writing to a letter he sent the township on behalf of Wellingdale Construction. The letter indicates Wellingdale “fully expects the township to lift holding provision on 14 lots,� by the end of September. “Obviously it is Wellingdale’s intention and desire to work with the township in the event there may be legitimate sewer capacity limits; however it is not prepared to wait out an indefinite problem with no apparent solution in these particular circumstances,� the letter states.

Open house planned at youth centre DRAYTON - The Drayton Youth Centre provides a caring environment for the youth of the local community to be encouraged to excel socially, personally and spiritually, organizers state. Organizers note the centre exists because of “the caring community in which we all live.” Members of this community – individuals, businesses and churches – have continued to support events like the second annual Mud Run in June as well as the annual hockey tournament in the fall. The funds raised from these events are an investment in the work of the centre, its volunteers and ultimately the youth they serve. This investment has included recent renovations to the centre, new flooring from Mapleton Flooring and Windows, and a fresh paint job from Groshaw Painting, which has brightened up the space. In the near future, the wellworn pool tables will be recovered and new recreation equipment will be purchased. Youth attending the drop-in are now talking enthusiastically about how else they can work together to decorate their space, organizers point out. These renovations served not only a practical function, but also provide an opportunity for youth to be inspired and to contribute. As they look forward to celebrating their 15th anniversary with an open house on Oct. 17, the board of directors, volunteers and youth of the DYC greatly appreciate the backing of neighbours and friends and invite them to see firsthand what their support means. For those interested in becoming involved as part of the Drayton Youth Centre team, opportunities are currently available on the board

Wildlife in drastic decline

Amid the increasing reports of war and strife in the news this week was a report indicating the various factions may be contesting for space on a planet hardly worth fighting for. The World Wildlife Fund reported in their semi-annual Living Planet Report that global populations of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles fell overall by 52 per cent between 1970 and 2010. That’s far faster than previously believed and comes with damaging consequences. The conservation group interprets the report to mean humankind’s demands are now 50 per cent more than nature can bear, with “trees being felled, groundwater pumped and carbon dioxide emitted faster than Earth can recover,” according to a Thompson Reuters news story on the report. The report does note there is still hope if politicians and businesses take the right action to protect nature. Presumably that means politicians at every level. While the major impact that is needed to reverse, halt or at least slow mankind’s devastating impact on the planet must be taken at national and international levels, provincial and even municipal governments can play an important role, both practically and symbolically, by taking what action is available to them. A motion to direct staff “to oversee the establishment of a broad-based committee to identify probable impacts of climate change and to propose a course of adaptation and remediation for Wellington County,” is currently winding it’s way through the county’s committee system. It’s a genuine opportunity for some positive action at a local level. Here’s hoping county councillors take it, or at least take it seriously. Patrick Raftis

Letters to the Editor Theft disturbing Dear Editor: We have lived in Alma all our life and the same house for nearly 50 years. It is a nice, safe place to live. However, we just took a trip out to B.C. to visit the only child we have left, after losing our dear son to cancer two months ago, only to return home to find a very sentimental large gazing ball stolen. This ball has been on the same pillar for the past five-plus years at the corner of our house. While we were gone our place was well looked after by a brother, neigbours and friends. We just can’t believe that someone would have that little respect for others’ property that they would take such a sentimental piece (or anything for that matter). Whoever stole it should pick up the Bible and read the Ten Commandments where it says, “Thou shalt not steal.” If whoever stole it had a kind thought maybe they could return it to the house where it was stolen from. We would sure appreciate it and no questions asked, for it is

very special to us. Wilf and Shirley Bott, Alma Church retains donor title Congratulations to everyone who participated in the September Blood Donor Clinic. Our goal of 58 units was met and exceeded.

Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives! Test Yours Every Month!

Test alarms and replace if needed, fire marshal urges Dear Editor: An important fire safety program is in place in communities across Ontario throughout Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 5 to 11, and extending over the entire month. I am writing to make all parents aware of the initiative and how they can help. Fire departments are working with teachers to educate children about the importance of properly functioning and installed smoke alarms. Watch for “Test and Replace Your Smoke Alarm” homework kit in your child’s backpack, which includes a home

fire escape plan and “Test and Replace” Fire Safety Checklist. The packages are designed to work in tandem with the website www.safeathome. ca/testandreplace. It is critical to know that working smoke alarms installed correctly throughout your home double the chances of surviving a catastrophic house fire. To ensure your families’ safety from fire, you must test your smoke alarms monthly to confirm they are in proper working order. Smoke alarm batteries must be replaced with fresh ones at least once

per year. Also, smoke alarms do not last forever. If your smoke alarm is more than 10 years old it must be replaced. Outdated alarms might not provide the protection you count on. Some new models feature 10-year lithium batteries which never need to be changed and last the full life of the alarm. Please be fire safe and “Test and Replace Your Smoke Alarms” this Fire Prevention Week. Tadeusz (Ted) Wieclawek, Ontario Fire Marshal and chair of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council

Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives! Test Yours Every Month!

Oct. 5 - 11

Canada’s fire marshals, commissioners aim to recruit 100,000 kids in unique safety program TORONTO - The Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners, together with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council, has announced a major initiative tackling youth fire safety nationwide. Ontario is among 11 provinces and territories working together to arm teachers with unique lesson plans that encourage every Canadian household to test and replace their smoke alarms during the 92nd annual Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 5 to 11. The Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners expect to engage thousands of primary-school teachers across Canada who will teach special lessons to upwards of 100,000 students as part of a broad scope of Fire Prevention Week activities under its North American-wide theme: “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!” Lesson plans, distributed by The Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners through Scholastic Canada, will be supported by the local efforts of fire departments and the campaign’s educational website safeathome.ca. “We’re pleased to have the fire departments from Ontario and all across Canada involved in this important campaign,” said Tadeusz (Ted) Wieclawek, Ontario Fire Marshal and Chair of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council. “Fire departments and teachers have

long had a special partnership that leaves a lasting impression on students; one that can further build fire-safe generations to come.” Duane McKay, president of the Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners (CCFMFC), says, “Fire safety programs that focus on our youth have a two-prong benefit. The lessons deliver the fire safety fundamentals that youngsters need to know to safely escape a burning home, and the kids help motivate moms and dads to make smoke alarm maintenance and replacement a higher priority. “The potential benefits of a successful national outreach are enormous,” McKay adds. “In over one-half of fatal fires, investigators typically find no working smoke alarms.” Parents should watch for “Test and Replace” homework pages which include a home fire escape planning sheet and a safety checklist. Once completed, parents and youngsters can go online at safeathome.ca/testandreplace to register their home and download a certificate of completion for the child to take back to class. The complete homework kit is also available for download. Safeathome.ca also provides helpful tips for testing and maintaining smoke alarms, when to replace alarms, and where to install them. In most jurisdictions across Canada,

smoke alarms are required on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas. Carol Heller is a home safety expert with Kidde Canada, a CCFMFC partner. She says educational campaigns help correct widespread misconceptions about smoke alarms, in particular, that they can be installed and forgotten about and never need to be replaced. People also mistakenly believe, she says, that so long as a smoke alarm beeps when the test button is pushed, that the alarm is fully functioning. “Old habits can lead to a tragedy,” says Heller. “Testing smoke alarms should be done monthly and batteries should be replaced at least once annually, whether the alarm is battery powered or is hardwired with battery backup. And even if the alarm sounds when you push the test button, if it is more than 10 years old it must be replaced, as cooking and dust deteriorate the sensor over time. Outdated alarms might not provide the protection you count on.” New technology is easing the responsibility of the once-per-year battery replacement rule. “Worry-free” smoke and carbon monoxide and combination smoke/ CO alarms feature 10-year lithium batteries which never need to be changed and last the full life of the alarm. More campaign details are available at www.safeathome.ca/testandreplace. The initiative continues throughout the month of October.

By Dave Tiessen, Pastor, Bethel Mennonite Church (Elora)

Appreciation and thank-yous Being honest, I have to admit that I am far more skilled at pointing out people and things that aren’t good or the way they should be (or the way I would like them to be). I am far less skilled at noticing and appreciating people and things that are good. It’s easy for me to be very good at taking for granted the good, important people and things that surround me on a

daily basis. May I hazard the suggestion that this would be true for most of us? A good way to test this is to try counting, over the course of a day, how many times you find yourself feeling/expressing complaints and disappointments. Do you find yourself feeling/expressing appreciation and gratitude? Before continuing, I should check the working assumption behind my article. Most (hopefully all) of us recognize that we are healthier and more pleasant people to live with, if we spend more time appreciat-

ing and thanking than criticizing and complaining. If you doubt this, how many adults do you know who still carry with them the deep wounds of having been parented by dads and moms who criticized and seldom affirmed? On the other hand, it should be said that expressing appreciation and gratitude can also be overdone, done tritely, or used to deny reality. We are discovering that children need more than positive feedback and always “winning.” They need to be given constructive criticism and be allowed to fail and lose sometimes. As well, we recognize that a “Pollyanna” approach to life – being always and ever-optimistically cheerful, appreciative and grateful – can prevent us from grieving and being angry at the injustices and sufferings of life. Recently I had several conversations with an old friend who has terminal cancer. She sees only blessing and joy in her plight, since God is accomplishing something very special through her, by causing her to die of cancer. There was no room in our visits to lament

and cry over her suffering and dying. My point is not about encouraging blind and deaf optimism. It is about orienting our character, thoughts and emotions towards living as appreciative and thankful people. It is very possible to see and experience many things that are bad, wrong, stupid, unfair, hurtful, threatening, and depressing around us. Even though there is much (altogether too much) of these things around us, we always have a choice about whether we will let that define us and determine the state of our life. Survivors of childhood sexual abuse used to be identified as “victims.” Now we have learned that while they have been victimized by their assailant, it is up to them whether or not they will choose to let themselves be defined as a “victim.” This is where appreciation and gratitude come in. Without being “Pollyannish” about it, it is possible for virtually anyone to look beyond the yucky stuff and see that they are showered and surrounded by blessings

upon blessings. They need to let those blessings determine the quality of their life. There is no better illustration of this than Ann Voskamp’s wonderful book One Thousand Gifts. Ann (who is from Listowel) invites readers to “forget the bucket lists that have us escaping our everyday lives for exotic experiences” and instead “to embrace everyday blessings,” especially by deliberately noticing and writing down the gifts of God that we experience in the ordinariness of everyday life. “It’s only in the expressing of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we’ve always wanted. A life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others.” The TV ads tell us that new cars, exotic vacations and lottery wins will bring us happiness. I join Ann Voskamp in proclaiming that such “happiness” pales in comparison with deep joy, contentment and peace that is free! This freedom is experienced through the simple choice of noticing and being grateful for all the good things – the blessings – in our

lives. Thanksgiving is coming in a week and a half. May I encourage you until then, to consciously choose every day to actively look for the blessings that surround you. It doesn’t matter who you are, you get to choose: your dog, the air you breathe, your family, the heart that is beating in your chest, hot and cold running water, hydro, Cheerios, a car, music, the sun and dirt. Get yourself going by saying, “Thank you for my dog/ heart/the sun” or “thank you God for ...” Once you get the hang of it, it will take on a life of its own and you may even find yourself unthinkingly blurting out “thank you for that amazing sunset.” For some incentive you might try putting a dime into a “save-for-a-treat cup” every time you choose to express gratitude. There is no better way to find the life and joy we’ve always wanted than mindfully recognizing and giving thanks for the blessings of the life we have. There’s no better way than this to know and understand God.

Mapleton Business Profile Mapletone Inc. a diverse new local entertainment company

Mapleton welcomes a new entertainment company to town. Mapletone Inc., the brainchild of recording artist and producer Lucas Rogerson, offers a unique blend of services for bands, singersongwriters, musicians, schools and the community. Mapletone has several divisions, including Mapletone Records, MapletoneLIVE and Mapletone Apparel and Promotions. Mapletone Records is an independent boutique record label and recording studio that produces, manufactures, distributes, promotes and sells recorded music from its recording artists. Still in it’s infancy, Mapletone Records is developing a sound that is instantly recognizable and stands alone among the current music industry trends. The Mapletone studio is available to outside bands and artists to record individual projects and can assist with writing, recording and producing projects through to manufacturing retail-ready, shrink-wrapped CDs, vinyl records or digital files for download. If you are a singer-songwriter who has been thinking of recording your songs and need a band, Mapletone’s professional producers and studio musicians will help bring your project to fruition. Featuring an ORAM BEQ 24 channel analog console as the heart of the studio and operating Pro Tools HD with many plug-ins, the studio offers a great blend of old and new to create a modern sound with the soul and vibe of the greats. With a focus on performance not production, Mapletone embodies a simple philosophy of a great song performed well will produce a great recording! Mapletone also offers disc duplication, packaging and design services in house to produce retail-ready, shrink-wrapped CDs and DVDs. If you already have a master recording and need additional copies contact them for a quote. Location recording services are also available to record your

band, choir or event. MapletoneLIVE produces and promotes concerts and live events. Specializing in presenting original acts and music in community theatres and venues. Most of the concerts and events are fundraising initiatives for community non-profit organizations, service clubs, churches and hospitals and directly benefit the community. If you require sound or lighting equipment and technicians for and upcoming event, production services are also available.

Mapletone Apparel & Promotions offers custom screen-printed apparel from T-shirts, hoodies, sweat pants and coats to koozies, one-of-a-kind posters and more. Initially the shop started to provide merchandise and posters for MapletoneLIVE concerts and has grown to be a full service apparel and promotion shop.
