Energy consumption report: Mapleton not meeting its reduction targets By Aryn Strickland MAPLETON - The township has not met its two per cent energy consumption reduction goal this year, council was told on Sept. 10. A report presented to council compared energy consumption and gas emissions within municipal operations and recommended council approve changes to the township’s approach to analysis and recording. Energy Conservation and Demand Management (CDM) Plans are required under a provincial policy enacted in 2018 that also mandates annual reports on energy consumption and gas emissions. Public agencies are also required to establish fiveyear targets and energy saving plans for the period of 2020 to 2025. “Our overall target is to reduce consumption of all municipal operations by an average of 2% per year between 2012 and 2020,� the report states. Mapleton’s recent CDM plan, prepared by financial analyst Heather Trottier, compared energy consumption and gas emissions from 2012 with the 2017-18 fiscal year. According to the report,
Journey for Jasper - The More family hosted the fourth annual Journey for Jasper at Palmerston Lions Heritage Park on Sept. 28. In 2011, Jasper More, 10, was diagnosed with MPS, a rare syndrome that causes many tissues and organs to enlarge, become inflamed or scarred. Every year the 5km run/walk raises money for the Isaac Foundation supporting research into MPS. This year’s event was Italian-themed as it took place two weeks prior to the More family’s trip to Naples, where Jasper will undergo a newly-developed genetic-based treatment. This year’s run drew over 300 participants and raised more than $40,000. “We were extremely pleased with how the day turned out, despite the rain early in the morning. We are truly blessed to live in such a wonderful and supportive community,� said Pam More after the event. The More family, from back, includes: Daphnie, Pam, Clayton and Jasper.

readings are not done at consistent intervals this tends to alter the results,â€? the report states. Trottier added council should expect to see water pumping increase to accommodate the new splash pad installed last year. “As there will be growth in both these areas in the next few years, a 2% reduction may not be a realistic goal in these categories,â€? the report states. History The CDM Plan was introduced in 2018, by the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines, through a new policy under the Electricity Act. In July, council approved using 2012 as a base year comparison as it was used previously for the township’s own Energy Conservation Plan for the years 2014 to 2019. “This initial energy plan ... saw significant reductions in electricity consumption when comparing 2017 to the base year of 2012 and had an overall reduction in natural gas,â€? a report from July stated. Moving forward To help reach its 2% goal, the report suggested changes to council’s approach to SEE ENERGY Âť 3
Minto approves reduced setback for barn addition By Patrick Raftis MINTO – The town’s committee of adjustment has approved construction of a dairy barn addition on the 6th Line, allowing reduced MDS setbacks for the barn and an accompanying liquid manure tank. Property owner Aden Martin applied for a minor variance to allow the addition to be located 88.3m (290 feet) from the nearest neighbour’s dwelling and 16.4m (54 ft) from the side property line. He also asked for a liquid manure tank to be located 126.7m (416 ft) from the nearest neighbour’s dwelling and 9.1m (30 ft) to the side prop-

the township did not reach its goal last year because of an increase in “street light contracts and water pumping for utilities.� Those factors resulted in an 8% increase in the total electricity consumption, measured in kilowatt hours. Decreases However, there are already energy saving projects lined up that, according to the report, should help the township realize a decrease this year and next. “We have three energy savings projects in 2019 and one in 2020. These projects combined will save an estimated 52,654 kWh per year. This is only 1.56% of our total kilowatt hours,� Trottier wrote in the report. The report also found a decrease in electricity consumption in the township’s corporate facilities of 3.6% for 2017-18. Increases Conversely, the report found the township’s natural gas emission during that year increased 7.4%. Yet Trottier wrote in the report the findings on natural gas emissions may not offer a full picture. “This is due to meter reading timing in 2017 and an increase in usage in the Alma Community Centre.

erty line. The town’s existing zoning bylaw requires minimum setbacks for the barn of 191m (626 ft) to the nearest neighbour’s dwelling and 19.1m (62.3 ft) to the side property line; and setbacks for the manure tank of 272m (892.3 ft) to the nearest neighbour’s dwelling and 27m (88.5 ft) to the side property line. County planner Jessica Rahim stated at a Sept. 17 public meeting the county has no issues with the request. “The proposed barn addition and new manure tank provides operational efficiency,� she stated in a report to the committee of adjustment, which consists of members
of Minto council. “The liquid manure tank is proposed to be built next to the existing farm building cluster and set back from the municipal drain on the subject lands.� Rahim added, “The application would maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw, is minor, desirable and appropriate for the development of the subject property.� Minto building assistant Michelle Brown stated town staff have no concerns with the reduced MDS setback and noted no comments were received from surrounding property owners. “I’ve got great neighbours. No issues,� said Martin.

Next Basement Cafe to feature Emily Burgess and The Emburys HARRISTON - Minto Arts has announced its next Basement Cafe on Oct. 18 will feature Emily Burgess and The Emburys, with Tiff Frost as opening act. Minto Arts officials state Emily Burgess and The Emburys are a “high-energy roots and blues trio out of the music hub of Peterborough, Ontario.” The group played 100 shows in 2018 and was recognized as best new artist at the Maple Blues Awards.
“On top of a very strong command of their instruments, each band member contributes vocals, creating soaring three-part harmonies on original tunes that you’ll be singing the whole organizers home,” way assert. Frost has been influenced by a wide range of musical genres. The southwestern Ontario resident started playing music at the age of 16. Focusing on her pas-
sion for blues and jazz, she began earning a living as a busker at 18. Since then she has played at Guelph’s Multicultural Festival two years in a row, and is currently recording with guitarist/composer Adrian Raso. Tickets for the Basement Café, downstairs at the are Library, Harriston Harriston at available Home Hardware, the Minto Arts Gallery or through Eventbrite.

The group looks after the ball diamond, community hall and pavilion in the rural hamlet and regularly holds fundraisers to cover the cost of facility upgrades. “We kind of help where we can, but basically it’s your baby out there,” said Mayor George Bridge, who presented a certificate of recognition to committee president Nicole Hymers. “What Drew stands for is being there for families and generations to come,” said Hymers, who noted she moved to the community with her husband Greg four years ago, and, “We’ve never felt more welcomed.” Photo by Patrick Raftis
Minto council receives progress report on Rural Wellington Ontario Health Team By Patrick Raftis MINTO – Council here has received a progress report on plans to form a Rural Wellington Ontario Health Team. Correspondence at the Sept. 17 meeting included the inaugural newsletter of the proposed health team. In the spring, the provincial government passed the Peoples Health Care Act, which called for the creation of 31 Ontario Health Teams (OHT) to deliver healthcare to local areas. The plan puts a super agency called Ontario Health in charge of the entire healthcare system, overseeing the OHTs, which will be made up primarily of health and social service organizations working together to integrate services locally and help residents navigate the system. The core planning group for the Rural Wellington OHT includes representatives from: the MintoMapleton Family Health Team (FHT), Upper Grand FHT and the Mount Forest FHT, a family doctor from each region, local hospitals, home and community care providers and the Canadian Mental Health Association Waterloo-Wellington, as well as the Waterloo-Wellington LHIN.
So far, organizers state they have also talked with patients, hospital and family health team staff, first responders, hospice personnel and other community and healthcare groups across the region “to better understand what is working well and what could be improved.” The newsletter notes a number of communities have already put in an initial application, however there is a second wave of applications in December, which the local group plans to join. The Rural Wellington OHT will include all residents who live in rural Wellington, and individuals who access to healthcare within the region. The province has asked each OHT to identify a “target population” to work on at the beginning. Locally, the patients with diabetes, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and CHF (chronic heart failure) or a combination of these illnesses have been designated as the target population. “We chose this population because these patients often end up seeing health care providers frequently, whether it’s for office visits, home care, hospital visits or at hospice,” the newsletter states.
FEDERAL ELECTION
“Improving these patients’ experiences across the whole system will help us identify many areas where we can improve all patients’ experiences.” The newsletter lists three overall goals for the local OHT: - “patient navigators” for anyone who needs one (navigators get to know the needs and issues of people living in their catchment area and will help patients navigate the health care system and “make sure no one falls between the cracks”; - patient records that are electronic, updated in real time, and accessible to each patient and to their health care workers; and - becoming “fax free” by 2023. “Believe it or not, many health records across the province are transmitted through fax machines, which are outdated and not always secure,” local OHT officials note. The newsletter indicates anyone wanting information, or who wishes to offer ideas or get involved should contact project manager Karen Armstrong at karmstrong@ mountforestfht.com or local family physicians. Council received the OHT correspondence without comment.
North Wellington Youth Spotlight focuses on positive stories about young people in local communities. The features are provided by Erin Raftis, municipal youth intern for Minto, Mapleton, and Wellington North – #positivityFromYouthForYouth. MINTO - Desirae Yeo-Ellis, a 16-year-old from Harriston, is an active member of her community, serving as a student leader at Tribe Youth at the Crossroads Life Church. Yeo-Ellis explains “at Tribe, I serve and volunteer in various areas every week making sure that whatever needs to be done is completed.” Some of her roles include preparing snacks, setting up games, lights, and sign in. The youth works as a student leader filling the same position as an adult leader, however, she is “still a youth” and therefore considered a student leader. Desirae states her motivation can be attributed to the leaders and their youth pastor who “walks with me through some of life’s toughest moments. “Since going to Tribe, I feel my relationship with my parents has become more trustworthy and open,” she adds.
The Tribe - Desirae Yeo-Ellis, middle row, third from left, makes a positive contribution to her community as a leader of the Tribe Youth group at Crossroads Life Church in Harriston. Submitted photo The youth plans to complete high school at Norwell District Secondary School and then attend Bible college in Portland, Oregon, or through online courses. After college, she hopes to become a youth pastor or lead pastor at a church and “continue leading others as [she] is now.” Aspires to travel She also aspires to travel across Canada and around the world “on missions trips and for fun to learn more about other countries and their cultures, as well as share the word of God in a
positive and life-changing way.” Yeo-Ellis is excited to share that Tribe is a Christian Youth Group, open to those aged 12 to 18, that meets every Wednesday at the Crossroads Life Church in Harriston at 7:30pm. She explains that, “Wednesday’s consist of fun games, amazing food, hearing God’s word and hanging out with some cool people. “At Tribe, we want you to have a fun and memorable time. We are always open to new people and would love to meet you.”

recording and analyzing its energy consumption. “Due to the anticipated growth of our community, we may want to revise our goal to exclude water, wastewater and street lighting unless we can find areas for reductions within these groups,” Trottier stated in the report. “I would also recommend that we change our base year to 2017 as the facility square footage is unchanged in this time frame. “This gives us a better basis for comparison.” On Sept. 10 council
approved the recommendations outlined by the report. “I think that is a really great recommendation that we compare the facilities that we know are consistent day to day; and (for) wastewater and street lighting ...of course our costs are going to go up,” said councillor Paul Douglas. Finance director John Morrison, who reviewed the report before it was presented to council, emphasized its importance. “This report will come every year and we will continue to see your energy con-

sumptions in total, as well so we will revise the matrix just to look at the facilities,” said Morrison. “It’s important to understand our footprint and it will be important to understand how it is costing us, so we will use it as a budget tool going forward.” Morrison also recognized Trottier’s hard work putting the report together. “Heather does an awful lot of work to compile this and to make it simple to understand. You should see the detail it has to go through,” he said.

EDITORIAL By Patrick Raftis
Low-key scandal Gotta hand it to Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer, who has managed to embroil himself in the most boring controversy of the current federal election campaign - perhaps in the history of elections. Scheer has been taking considerable and justifiable heat for claiming to have been an insurance broker in his pre-political life. Turns out he never obtained a license, which would allow him to call himself a “broker,” and was thus confined during his half a year or so of involvement in the industry to handling general clerical tasks, not actually selling insurance. While it does illustrate the minimal level of non-political life experience Scheer has - he resorts to making himself sound more interesting/experienced by claiming to be an insurance broker - one wonders if he or his handlers could not have come up with a more compelling backstory. “During my time as a street busker I learned how to juggle everything from tennis balls to steak knives and am therefore eminently qualified to shuffle the numerous priorities required of a prime minister and also how to make the most of a wildly irregular stream of revenue,” he might have claimed. Instead, Scheer occasionally “regaled” parliament with insights picked up during his days (about 180 by some estimates) of offering indemnification to Saskatchewan residents. Although video exists of Scheer actually using the word “broker” in reference to himself, the Liberal party’s request that Saskatchewan’s insurance industry watchdogs investigate the claims is probably overkill. While it’s illegal under the Saskatchewan Insurance Act for anyone without a licence to act as a broker or “hold himself out” to be a broker, that provision is probably more to prevent unlicensed individuals from actually selling insurance, than to preclude politicians from pathetically puffing up their resumes. Also, at most, the Insurance Councils of Saskatchewan might have the power to revoke an offender’s broker’s license, but in Scheer’s case, that’s clearly moot. Of course, while the whole silly episode is probably unworthy of further investigation, who knows? It may be something Canadians will consider when they finally get to the polls. After all, the truth hurts, especially if you don’t tell it.

Plan and Practice your EscapeTM
Escape plans focus of National Fire Prevention Week WELLINGTON COUNTY - Fire Departments across the county are taking part in the annual Canada-wide Fire Prevention Week from Oct. 6 to 12. This year the theme focuses on the importance of fire escape plans, with the official National Fire Protection Association’s tagline “Not every hero wears a cape. Plan and practice your escape.” While fire prevention should be an ongoing consideration, Mapleton Fire Chief Rick Richardson and Centre Wellington and GuelphEramosa fire prevention officers Chris Paluch and Mat Williamson say the annual event serves a reminder to the public. “It keeps everybody aware of the need to have smoke alarms/carbon monoxide alarms in every house, making buildings safe where you work by having alarms
Fire Prevention Week activities
and fire extinguishers and emergency lights to make it a safe place,” said Richardson. “I think ... with all this going on FIRE CHIEF in the news, RICK these days, RICHARDSON people tend to let it go by the wayside. It’s good that we can take a week and focus on really important things like home escape plans,” said Paluch. According to a press release provided by the Guelph-Eramosa Township fire and emergency services, in Canada, most fire deaths occur in the home, where people believe they
are most safe. In 2015, structure fires caused more than 1,400 injuries and almost 200 deaths (fire data for 2012-16 was obtained from 10 of the 13 provincial and territorial offices of the fire marshal/ fire commissioner). “Situational awareness is a skill people need to use wherever they go,” said Williamson. “No matter where you are, look for available exits. If the fire alarm system sounds, take it seriously and exit the building immediately,” he added. Not only are safety plans important in the home, work spaces should have safety plans in place and check their prevention equipment too. “What we check for there is making sure they have fire
extinguishers at each exit, working fire extinguishers that have been checked and emergency lights so if something happens they can see to get out. “We check for fire safety plans so everybody knows how to get out when it’s time, when the alarm goes off, like where do you go and where do you meet,” said Richardson. Check smoke alarms One of the most common fire safety hazards is faulty smoke alarms. “Lack of smoke alarms and not working smoke alarms is probably number one. Just people not putting enough effort into checking them as often as they should. “And if they take a battery out because it’s bugging

By Rev. Calvin Brown
Trying Christianity I’ve been a Christian all my life and I have never regretted the experience – not even when I have failed to live up to the high quality standard it calls for; and not even when others who are called Christians acted in ways that showed their failures too; or not when non-Christians criticized and name-called because they didn’t understand the true nature of the faith. G. K. Chesterton, a famous Christian philosopher, said that “Christianity has not been tried and found want-
ing; it has been found difficult and not tried.” So why are people driven not to try real Christianity? Most people who consider the life of Jesus admire his overwhelming love, his wisdom, and his compassion. It is as if people say: I admire Jesus but I don’t like some Christians I’ve met. What they have failed to understand is that not all those who call themselves Christians are indeed Christians according to the biblical description. Jesus himself noted that not everyone who calls him Lord will inherit the kingdom of heaven but only those who do the will of his Father.
The Christian goal is sinless perfection but that is not something we can reach by ourselves nor is it something acquired as we try hard and get a little help from the Lord. What many who do not try Christianity fail to understand is that it is not by our efforts but by the effort of Jesus that we are loved and made acceptable for heaven. We can never love enough, behave enough or do enough to reach the sinless standard needed for heaven. God has loved for us, behaved for us and done for us what is needed to be done so that justice is satisfied. That is unveiled in the truth
revealed in the story of Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross for us. He was the spotless (sinless) lamb of God sacrificed for us so that we are considered as having (through Jesus) loved, behaved and done what needed to be done. In other words Jesus took our place so we are acceptable even though we are not sinless. His love is greater than our sin. That does not allow us to sin as we like with impunity but it changes life for us so that we who accept his love and acceptance now want to live a life of appreciation and obedience by living in part-
nership with Jesus and seeking to love as he loves, behave as He behaves, and do as He does. We can be free from the guilt of our failures and the despair of our lapses and have the freedom to try again to live as He lived. Peter preaching to the crowd after he had healed a cripple said: “By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can see ... Repent, then and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that
times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you – even Jesus.” It is the refreshing he speaks of that has accompanied me all my life. It is the sensing of the freshness, the revival and the uninhibited new beginnings that has made the faith so truly wonderful. I invite you to join me in this journey with Jesus so that you will not miss out because you haven’t understood how it works or you haven’t yet experienced in true Christianity how great the freedom of the love of Jesus is.
Summer flower show held by Clifford and District Horticultural Society By Bonnie Whitehead CLIFFORD - President Vic Palmer welcomed 35 people to the Clifford and District Horticultural Society meeting and flower show on Aug. 27 at the community hall in Clifford. Barbara Harris introduced guest speaker Murray Garrett who shared highlights of his recent trip with his wife Audrey to Scandinavia and Russia. Their tour in Denmark led them past pubs and cafes along the harbour, through connecting canals to see the famous mermaid statue, the queen’s summer home surrounded by glorious gardens, and a novelty talking garbage can. Norway offered majestic scenery with mountains, waterfalls, and fjords in every picturesque view. The local marine history, Olympic ski training, and a trip to the opera house were eye opening outings. The Nobel Prize Museum, Abba Museum, and gold
Flower show - Ethel Weber, Isabel Senek, Jean Yenssen and Karen Dowler were winners at the Clifford and District Horticultural Society Summer Flower Show on Aug. 27 at the community hall in Clifford. Photos by Bonnie Whitehead mosaics at City Hall were points of interest in Sweden. Russia revealed statues and art masterpieces, flowing fountains, warships in port, tickets to the ballet, a ride on a high speed train, shopping at the Gunn department store, and the experience of gaining access to the
Kremlin. Jean Yenssen thanked Murray for his entertaining presentation. Flower show organizers Isabel Senek, Blanche Freeman, and Audrey Garrett shared tips from the judges who were pleased to see nine members show 119
entries. Ethel Weber and Isabel Senek tied first place for cut flowers, gladiolus, and roses. Karen Dowler and Yenssen tied first place for potted plants, Carol Lange earned first in fruits and vegetables, Yenssen won first in designs, and Dowler first for photog-

them they don’t replace the battery until something happens so that’s number one is make sure smoke alarms and fire alarms are working properly,” said Richardson. Check alarms monthly Smoke alarms should be checked monthly and should be a habit the whole family can take part in. “When you leave a room
it’s a good reminder to put in your monthly shortlist is go hit that test button and all those devices once a month,” added Paluch. Teaching youth early can help make it into a regular routine and an easy reminder. “It’s great for the kids, they can make it a game, it’s something that they can go and do with Mom and Dad,”
said Paluch. It is also important to remember not to put anything that isn’t cooking equipment on stove tops. “Be on top of clutter. These days we bring so much stuff in our house, you go to the mailbox sometimes people are a little bit careless with it, things get put on top of the stove,” said Paluch. Families should also be cognizant of where lighters and matches are kept and make sure that they are not accessible to children.
Unplug electronics With so many electronics in the home it is important to make sure that you don’t overload your electrical receptacles. “In a family everyone might have their own cell phone and their own tablet so people use those, we call them the octo plug, where they plug into an outlet and all of a sudden two plugs turned into eight plugs or six plugs. “It was never designed for that.

Clear farm access Some county fire departments are also planning to host information sessions around farm safety this Fire Prevention Safety Week. There are a number of safety precautions that farmers should be aware of to help prevent farm fires and assist firefighters when a fire takes place.
“People should know what their green number is so they can tell us on the phone,” he said. “Some farmers have a habit of putting farm vehicles and tractors wherever they want and we have problems getting to the issue and so keeping that clear. “There are other safety things around the farm; in barns you should be checking the electrical [wiring] and have that checked over by an electrician,” said Richardson.
