Tender accepted for Moorefield hall project By Patrick Raftis
Redsfest at Norwell - To kick off the start of another school year, Norwell District Secondary School’s student council surprised students with Redsfest. Students spent the afternoon of Sept. 28 on the sports field eating cotton candy, playing mini golf, competing in “hamsterball� races and more. School officials thanked the student council “for an awesome afternoon filled with fun, laughter and school spirit.� Clockwise from top left: Mary MacKenzie enjoys some cotton candy; Lauren Haveman works on her swing; students try out the hampsterball track; and teachers Lindsay Clements, left, and Mallory Tolcher had their faces painted for the occasion.

MAPLETON – Council has authorized staff to award the tender for the base components of the Maryborough Community Centre renovation project, including a new entrance canopy, to Sax Construction Inc. The company’s bid of $671,200 plus HST was the lowest of five presented to council on Sept. 26. Council also approved an additional debenture amount of $206,124 to fund the project. Councillors made the decision to proceed with a two-stage renovation process on Aug. 22 after submitted bids for the original tender, which closed on July 25, were substantially higher than the budget amount council had authorized. In January the township learned it was successful in obtaining $259,800 through the Ontario 150 Community Capital Grant Program for the hall in Moorefield, which was built in 1967. The tender from Sax Construction included a $621,400 bid for the base project elements and $49,800 for the entrance canopy. The re-tendered base project consists of: - accessibility ramps,
inside and outside of the building; - lighting upgrades; - washroom upgrades accessibility (including requirements) and vestibule; - floor and ceiling replacement; - painting; - new concrete patio including all fencing, gates, hardware; - heating, ventilation and air conditioning replacement (includes incidental roof repairs around new unit installations); and - replace existing electrical service equipment in the electrical room. The budget for the project is based upon pre-tender estimates and a total budget of $625,420. Acceptance of the latest tender will allow for completion of the base project within the stipulated time frame for qualification to receive the provincial grant funding, which has a project completion date of March 31, explains a staff report from public works director Sam Mattina. Additional elements of the project will be considered for construction following completion of the base project, the report states. SEE TENDER Âť 3
Rural residents slow to adopt curbside waste/recycling pickup By Patrick Raftis More GUELPH Wellington County residents are using expanded curbside pickup to send recycling, rather than garbage, to local landfill and transfer station sites. However, overall, county residents have been slow to adopt to the new service. A staff report presented at the Sept. 28 Wellington County council meeting indicates total recycling managed by the county’s solid waste services division increased by 359 tonnes since the expansion of rural curbside collection in July 2016. This represents a 6.4 per cent increase over the same period the previous year. Over the same period, garbage disposed of increased
by less than 1%, even with population growth in the county. “This suggests that with the convenience of curbside service, more recycling was captured in the blue box program rather than in the garbage stream,â€? solid waste services manager Das Soligo explains in the report. Councillor Don McKay, chair of the solid waste services committee, told council rural residents haven’t switched to the curbside system as quickly as anticipated. “It maybe hasn’t moved as fast ‌ the uptake of the residents in the rural communities, as expected,â€? said McKay. The report shows that throughout rural areas where curbside collection

began last year, 22% of residents are putting out garbage and 43% are recycling. This compares with 52% using waste collection and 69% recycling in Erin and where Guelph-Eramosa, rural collection has been in place longer. Individually, 58% of Erin rural residents are using waste pickup and 69% are using curbside recycling. In Guelph-Eramosa the figures are 46 and 68% respectively. Of the five areas where curbside pickup was implemented last year, only the Town of Minto was involved in a previous rural pickup pilot project, which was discontinued there in 2008. At that time, Minto residents were putting out recycling and waste respectively at rates of 17 and 38%. Last

year, only 15% of Minto residents put out garbage and 38% used recycling pickup. In other new service areas the results were: - Mapleton, 21% waste, 48% recycling; - Centre Wellington, 20% waste, 37% recycling; - Wellington North, 28% waste, 45% recycling; and - Puslinch, 28% waste, 45% recycling. Combined across the entire county, 31% of rural residents are using waste pickup and 51% are using curbside recycling. The staff report cautions that the current figures come from sample areas of the various municipalities selected for a participation study, not the entire municipality. Figures detailing the number of garbage and

recycling stops on routes by Waste Management show a monthly increase in garbage and recycling collected. The report states this trend “suggests the above participation numbers are in fact understating actual participation in the program. “Anecdotally, staff are also observing higher participation in many areas that have not yet been selected for the participation study.â€? McKay noted staff anticipates a gradual increase in usage of the services in new areas. “It takes a lot for people to change the way they do things ‌ I still like to go to the transfer station although I can put my blue box and my refuse out on the curb and I think there’s still some people that like to do that,â€?
McKay stated. “As time goes on I think that people will see the benefits of having it picked up at the door.� Hazardous waste Another new service that has been in operation for over a year now is the county Mobile Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Depot service was launched in July of 2016. The program replaced HHW Event Days in the five member municipalities which host a county waste facility. The depot has been placed for a month at a time at each of the waste facility and this year two county road garages were added to the rotation, meaning the depot will spend at least one month in each of the county’s member municipalities each year.

EDITORIAL By Patrick Raftis
Cost-benefit quandary
Rural Wellington residents appear so far unexcited by the opportunity to have their garbage picked up at the end of their driveway or farm lane. As if that wasn’t fairly obvious to anyone touring local byways on pickup days, a staff report presented at the Sept. 28 Wellington County council meeting bears it out. The report shows that throughout rural areas where collection began last July, 22 per cent of residents are putting out garbage and 43% are recycling. Those figures differ little from a report issued last September indicating the same number, 22% using the newly available garbage pickup option, and 46% recycling. In Mapleton, 21% of rural residents are using the waste service and 48% recycling. The same number, 21% were using the waste pickup service as of the study period last fall, but the current number of recyclers has dropped from the 64% participating in September 2016. The most recent study shows 15% of Minto residents put out garbage and 38% used the recycling pickup service. That’s down in both cases since last fall, when 27% were putting out their garbage and 52% were recycling. The overall numbers for the areas of the county where the service is new fall well under the numbers in Erin and Guelph-Eramosa, where rural collection has been in place longer. Currently those areas have a 52% participation rate on waste pickup and 69% for recycling. With both staff in the county’s solid waste services division and committee chair Don McKay predicting a gradual increase in the new service areas over time, it should be noted that neither Erin nor Guelph-Eramosa has a landfill or waste transfer station within its boundaries, providing residents of those municipalities with extra motivation to use the rural collection service. Figures detailing the number of garbage and recycling stops on routes by Waste Management do show a monthly increase in garbage and recycling collected, which staff believes suggest the study’s participation numbers are understating actual participation in the program. Also, figures do indicate the recycling program is the more popular of the two services and any measure that gets people recycling is generally good news. You can also see why the county felt there was support for the move, as a telephone poll of Wellington residents conducted prior to implementation indicated 84 per cent of respondents were in support of expanding the service. Still, it’s worth wondering what a complete financial analysis would show about the cost/benefit ratio of this new endeavour. Projections provided by the county last spring indicated that while it would cost $107,800 to implement bi-weekly rural collection, the move will actually result in annual savings of $41,200 once increased user fees were factored in. However those figures are a bit misleading if you accept that reductions in overall expenditures aren’t really savings if their driven by increased revenues.

Home escape plan focus of 2017 Fire Prevention Week MAPLETON - Fire Chief Rick Richardson is urging families in the Township of Mapleton to practice their home fire escape plan as part of Fire Prevention Week. The theme for the week, which runs from Oct. 8 to 14, is “Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out!” “Fire and smoke move faster than you,” said Richardson. “There’s no time to figure out how to escape your home after a fire starts. Practice an escape plan before there’s a fire so you can get out safely.” In a fire, you may have just seconds to safely escape your home. Fire officials urge citizens to be prepared in advance with these simple steps for home fire escape planning: - assess the needs of everyone in the home and identify anyone who requires assistance to get out of the home safely, such as small children or older adults; - make sure that there are working smoke alarms on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas. Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound of the

what to do when the smoke alarm sounds. Assign someone to help those who need assistance. Identify a safe meeting place outside. Call the fire department from outside the home – from a
neighbour’s home or a cell phone; and - practice your home fire escape plan at least twice a year. Have everyone participate. Make changes to the plan if necessary.

Cooking a fire risk The Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management are reminding the public that cooking fires account for 22 per cent of all home fires and 11% of all home fire fatalities. The agencies note people should always stay in the kitchen while cooking. “If you must leave, turn off the stove,” officials urge in a press release.

Change smoke alarm batteries when time changes Clocks will fall back one hour at 2am on Nov. 5 and Ontario’s Community Safety Ministry is recommending residents install new batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms when they change their clocks. “Once a year, old batteries should be replaced with new batteries. When you change your clocks on November 5, take the time to install new batteries in all alarms,” officials urge. Working smoke alarms are required on every storey and outside sleeping areas. Carbon monoxide alarms must be installed outside all sleeping areas if your home has a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace or attached garage.

THANK YOU
Volunteer Firefighters!
“You should be thankful?” I grew up surrounded by them, intimidated by them, motivated by them, threatened by them and burdened by them. When I didn’t obey them, I felt guilt and shame. Eventually, I figured out that they weren’t at all good for me/us and I tried to not inflict them on my own children. I have preached sermons on the evils of them, and tried to encourage burdened people to free themselves of their shackles. The “shoulds.” You know them: the “you should do this” or “you should dress like this” or “you for sure shouldn’t do that” statements. The ones used on us by our well-meaning parents who were trying to mold and shape our behaviour and character. I’m pretty sure that most of us experienced these used upon us and a few of us have used them on the children in our own families. Try listening to how you think and speak. Count how often you use the words “should” and “shouldn’t”, especially when talking about your own choices. I bet you will discover that on a fairly regular basis you are “shoulding” yourself: “I should clean my house”, “I should go visit my parents”, “I should watch less TV”, “I should eat more fruits and vegetables.” “Should” and “shouldn’t” are powerful words and concepts that describe or even impose an obligation upon us. That is, we should or shouldn’t do this, not because of our own preference or willful choice but because

GREAT A R E F F O E W OF SELECTION
Smoke Detectors
for trying to avoid overtly “shoulding” their little girl. Even though at this stage, the “please” and subsequent “thank you” that is elicited is something less than voluntary or heartfelt. Already last year at Christmas, significant effort was expended trying to get (coerce?) the then two and a half-year-old mesmerized by a fabulous new gift to express the obligatory “thank you” to Oma and Opa. Maybe there are some “shoulds” that we need to learn and teach. Not running onto the road in front of a dump truck, using the toilet and not putting one’s hand on a hot stove top are examples that come to mind. These “shoulds/ shouldn’ts” need to be imposed on a child before they are able to fully understand their importance. Over time, however, the logic of these “shoulds” makes their further imposition upon the child unnecessary and the “should” becomes a nobrainer. No doubt we all went through what our granddaughter is enduring. Being coerced to say “please” and “thank you” and probably with the frequent reminder that this is something we “should” always do. But the no-brainer logic of such gratitude behaviour isn’t quite as vivid and immediate as that of “you shouldn’t put your hand on the stove.” Every parent hopes that their child’s “pleases” and “thank yous” will become more and more sincere as they get older. Yet, this doesn’t happen inevitably or by itself. It requires effort on our part to more and more “own” or truly “mean” the words when we say them. Heartfelt gratitude comes from the choice to recognize how much in life we receive not because we deserve or have earned it, but because it is given to us. I would suggest that it is possible to spend the rest of one’s life learning to do gratitude ever more sincerely and ever less from obligation. The most grateful people I have known have been older folks who learned that there is no greater way to find joy and fulfillment in life than to live with humble gratitude.
some other authority is telling us we are supposed to. The problem with “should” language is that it tends to infantize us. The danger is that we go through life having learned all the things we should and shouldn’t do without learning the “why” of the should/ shouldn’t. If we don’t learn the “why” then we won’t learn how to “own” the belief or value that the should/ shouldn’t is trying to conform us to. Often, we heed the shoulds/shouldn’ts only inconsistently, which makes us feel guilt and shame. I really should remember something this important to me but I forget from whom I first heard this: “Never ‘should’ yourself !” It was personally a gift for me of immense grace, freeing me from a lifetime of “selfshoulding.” I often use this concept in my sermons and pastoral care. Did you catch the “should-slip” there? I know better than to “should” myself but still find myself often slipping back into it. Which brings me to Thanksgiving - the purpose of all this talk about “shoulding.” There is a charming (of course) three-year old in our family. What a delightful age. The child is more than able to tell us what she wants (and even more loudly what she doesn’t want). Her parents are trying their best to raise her to be a civilized and polite person and, of course, you know what that means. Little girl: “I want some milk.” Parent: “Aren’t you missing a word there?” Little girl: “I want some milk”. Parent: “Not until you say that word.” Kudos to our kids

Rural pickup numbers slow to pick up » FROM PAGE 4
While many factors will have changed, a pilot program involving rural pickup carried out in Minto and Guelph-Eramosa was ended in 2008, after it was deemed too expensive, although it was ultimately continued in Guelph-Eramosa and Erin was later added. At the time though, a study showed that over two years, there were 533.4 tonnes of garbage collected, and 486.5 tonnes of recyclable material. The total cost was
$654,256. By comparison, the study indicated if that amount of material had been collected at a transfer station, the total cost would have been $55,162. “The pilot cost 11.9 times as much to manage the same material ... which we knew all along,” said Bob Wilson, solid waste committee chair at the time. One has to wonder how much the basic math has really changed. Such deliberations may ultimately be rendered moot as the province implements
its recently-approved WasteFree Ontario Act, which will put more responsibility for waste and recycling collection on producers, rather than municipalities. That strategy, if successful, will also greatly reduce the amount of waste reaching landfill sites as well. A total ban on sending food waste to landfill is even under consideration. In the meantime though, we need to ensure our waste is being handled in the most fiscally and environmentally responsible manner possible.
