Service providers form coalition to benefit youth in north Wellington

by Patrick Raftis TEVIOTDALE - A new initiative aimed at helping at-risk youth access services in north Wellington was launched here on Oct. 2.

A new organization, the North Wellington Coalition for Youth Resiliency, announced a 36-month initiative, thanks to a $216,300 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).

The coalition made the announcement on behalf of the Mount Forest Family

Health Team, which is administering the grant on behalf of the 15-member coalition of service providers.

A secondary grant that will bring free recreational “STEP Well” programming to youths in north Wellington (Mapleton, Minto and Wellington North) was also announced at the launch, held at the Wellington County OPP station.

Wyndham House of Guelph has been approved for a 12-month, $54,434

grant through the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. This is a collaborative project with GLOWW (Giving Light Offers Worth and Wellness), the Town of Minto, Wellington-Guelph Drug Strategy, WellingtonDufferin-Guelph Public Health and the County of Wellington.

STEP Well programming is expected to start in north Wellington by November of 2014.

County confirms new Drayton works garage to be built at township office site

by Patrick Raftis GUELPH – Wellington County’s current Drayton public works garage will be replaced with a new facility on or adjacent to the Township of Mapleton’s administration centre property.

County council confirmed the roads committee decision to build a new shop on Mapleton Sideroad 16 at its Sept. 27 meeting.

Funding for the Drayton garage replacement will be budgeted for 2016 in the upcoming five-year-plan, a roads committee resolution states.

The move will allow for sharing of some facilities between the county and the

township, which is also planning to build a new shop at the location to replace one that burned to the ground in December.

County councillor Lou Maieron, mayor of Erin, asked why the Drayton shop replacement was moved ahead of the Erin shop replacement, which is also in the five-year plan.

“We did have Erin scheduled but due to circumstances happening in Mapleton with loss of their garage there are some advantages to relocating” the Drayton facility sooner, explained county engineer Gord Ough, who added “concerns with the Drayton garage relative to the wellhead,” also

factored into the decision.

“There are some things that are going to have to be spent on in Drayton if we stay very long so it makes sense to take this opportunity to dovetail with Mapleton.”

Ough also pointed out the Erin garage is used only in the winter, while the Drayton shop is a year-round facility.

“I understand the synergies make sense,” said Maieron, who then asked how far back the Erin project would be pushed.

Ough suggested the Erin garage replacement could be expected to happen, “a couple or three years after the Drayton shop.”

by Patrick Raftis DRAYTON – Wastewater management and economic development emerged as major concerns as about 350 people packed the PMD arena auditorium on Saturday morning to hear Mapleton candidates make their pitch for votes in the Oct. 27 municipal election.

“The (municipal) corporation is a business and we must run it this way,” stated Jim Curry, a current Mapleton councillor who is vying with fellow councillor Neil Driscoll for the mayor’s seat.

In his opening remarks Curry stressed his leadership skills, noting he has “chaired most committees over the years” and currently chairs the township’s wastewater management committee, which he said is working “to solve our present wastewater problems.”

“You the ratepayers deserve to maximize your return on your investment in Drayton and Moorefield to increase our assessment with more residents and growth,” Curry stated.

Driscoll, a first-time councillor, said the past four years “gave me a great chance to see how our municipality is operated.

“I believe the mayor needs to be a strong leader to make decisions that benefit our whole municipality,” he stated.

“We have to figure out a way that we can have sustainable growth that we can afford,” said Driscoll, noting he has also served on the township’s wastewater committee and has “seen some changes that are going to move our community forward in the future.”

The Conestogo Lake Cottagers Association hosted the Oct. 4 meeting and member Chris Schaefer asked the mayoral candidates “what we get from Mapleton Township?”

While noting fire protection is provided by the municipality, Schaefer said, “We do our own water, we do our own sewers we look after our garbage ... We’re feeling like the ugly redheaded stepchild.”

Driscoll pointed out the township actually keeps very little of the roughly $345,000 in property taxes paid by cottagers.

“Of that we keep $101,000; $65,200 goes to the school board … the county, who actually plow your roads get $169,456,” Driscoll explained.

“I would ask you to petition very hard to the GRCA and ask them why they aren’t providing some of these services.”

Curry pointed to a number of recent road upgrade projects the township has undertaken in the cottage area and stated, “We also pay to the GRCA $80,000 back out of the money we receive,” in reference to the annual levy paid by the township to the conservation authority.

“We’re here to make sure we work with the cottagers,” said Curry.

Another questioner pointed to continuing annual reductions in provincial funding through the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund and asked how council will make up the shortfall.

Curry said he would aim to “keep the tax increase to an absolute minimum because taxes are high already.”

Driscoll noted Mapleton’s recently-reconstructed 16th Line “was paved in two portions and it was paid for in two portions. That’s one of the creative ways this council is trying to stretch those dollars further.”

Councillor candidates Candidates for councillor also focused on wastewater and economic issues during their opening remarks.

“Solving our wastewater issue is probably our biggest issue here,” said Mapleton native Marlene Ottens, who added a healthy local economy is integral to a flourishing community.

“When business and industry are thriving, then residents stay, the tax base increases,” said Ottens, who warned the next council needs to be ready to deal with a tight-fisted provincial government.

“When they want to balance their books, often they download things to municipalities and cut transfer payments,” she pointed out.

“I also think the biggest issue is wastewater capacity,” said Paul Douglas. “It’s key

BILL’S

to our economy … it creates permit fees and development charges for township.”

Douglas, who said he would like to see tax dollars spent efficiently, said he felt his experience in engineering would be helpful at the council table.

Dennis Craven stated he feels current taxes are too high.

“A very high percentage of township income comes from taxes,” said Craven who suggested the municipality needs to “finish developing the economic land behind the arena and support industrial growth in other areas in Mapleton.”

Craven also said, “I fully realize the importance of agriculture to jobs in Mapleton,” and cited his past local council experience and “extensive community involvement” as assets he could bring to the next council.

Michael Martin moved to Moorefield in 2011 and is a member of the local volunteer fire department. While he has no direct experience as a councillor, Martin said a 14-year career in the public sector as a paramedic and experience with union management committees demonstrates leadership ability that, along with a focus on transparency and communication, “would be very useful as a councillor in Mapleton.”

Martin said serving on council would be “my way of giving back to my community,” and promised his votes would be “fully educated on the subject.”

Angie Culp said she often talked about the idea of running for council while growing up in Mapleton.

“I’m running because I’m ready. I’m ready to pore over budgets, policies and procedures,” she said. “I love this community. It’s where I was born it’s where I was raised.

Missionary earns win in church league hockey

MISSIONARY 4 COMMUNITY 3 Community used an early power play to get on the scoreboard in the first period. Terry Horst fed the puck up along the right boards to Tanner Hackbart, who shot the puck along the ice to catch the back of the goaltender’s skate and bounce the puck into the net.

Missionary tied the game in the second period. Cody Gleeson rifled a slap shot from the top of the face circle. Scott Vandepas slapped his stick on the ice to tip the puck under the pads.

Community took the lead again with a shorthanded rush.

Kevin Gingrich teed up a shot for Kyle Roes at the blue line and Roes blasted it in through the crowd.

Missionary tied the game back up before the period ended. Cody Gleeson and Matt Burnett sent Curtis Bults away with the puck. Bults cut to the net and snapped the puck into

the top corner.

Missionary took the lead late in the third. Curtis Bults skated into a loose puck and carried it to the Community net. A late shot into the nearside corner earned the goahead goal.

Missionary added an insurance goal less than a minute later. Matt Duff and Steve Domitrovic set up Matt Freund at the empty corner. A quick tip sent the puck behind the goaltender.

Community came back with one but fell short for the loss. Terry Horst set up Kevin Gingrich who snapped a rising wrist shot over the glove for the goal.

FLORADALE 3 LISTOWEL 1 Despite buzzing the net for 15 shots in the first period, Floradale only counted one goal. Jason Newton and Corey Wideman sent Mike Martin away with the puck on a power play rush. Martin snapped a

low shot along the ice into the goal.

Floradale added another goal to start off the second period. Ryan Martin and Josh Brohman sent Mike Martin to the net again. This time a rising wrist shot sent the puck into the top corner.

Listowel fought back in the dying seconds of the period. Ryan Streicher sent Josh Kozak down the right side boards. Kozak carried the puck deep and slipped a pass across to Kyle Streicher who flipped the puck into the open corner.

FROM PAGE ONE The coalition aims to address the issues facing rural youth in north Wellington County “in a timely, coordinated and inclusive manner.”

The intent is to foster networks that strengthen coordination and partnership around community-based skill development. Reducing barriers and increasing access to social and civic participation for youth, while increasing their ability to address issues that are important to them, are also goals.

Youth volunteers will be invited to advocate for their needs, participate in project direction and set up new programs and services, organizers state.

A portion of the grant funding will go toward employing Community Youth Resiliency Worker Alison Vasey. She says part of her role will be to help young people get connected to services “as well as get them engaged.”

The initial focus for the project is to start understanding the unique youth needs of each community by assessing what is currently available to youth and where service gaps exist.

The coalition consists of representation from: Mount Forest Family Health Team, Wellington-Dufferin-Grey Drug Strategy, WellingtonDufferin-Guelph Public Health, Homewood Community Addictions Services, WaterlooWellington-Dufferin Canadian Mental Health Association, County of Wellington Social Services, Ontario Provincial Police, Upper Grand District School Board, Wellington Catholic District School Board, Wyndham House, Community Resource Centre of North and Centre Wellington, Upper Grand Family Health Team,

Youth initiative serves a need An important new initiative aimed at helping at-risk youth access services was launched last week in north Wellington. Focussed on youth in Mapleton, Minto and Wellington North, the initiative of the newly-formed North Wellington Coalition for Youth Resiliency is designed to foster networks that “strengthen coordination and partnership around community-based skill development.”

Reducing barriers and increasing access to social and civic participation for youth, while increasing their ability to address issues that are important to them, are also goals.

The coalition includes service providers from the health care, education, social services and law enforcement fields and organizers note many towns and hamlets in north Wellington are difficult to serve due to long driving distances, insufficient public transit and limited resources.

The coalition has also clearly recognized the vast array of services available locally though various mental health, addiction and other programs can be complicated to navigate for adults - and downright intimidating to young people. Many might be inclined to give up before finding the specific service they need.

The initiative is being established through a $216,000 Trillium Foundation grant, part of which will fund the work of Community Youth Resiliency Worker Alison Vasey. Her role will include helping young people get connected to services “as well as get them engaged.”

Part of that engagement could happen through a secondary grant that will bring free recreational programming to area youth.

Wyndham House of Guelph, has been approved for a 12-month, $54,434 grant through the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport and will deliver programs in north Wellington. The Town of Minto has partnered with Wyndham house on the program, contributing $1,000 cash and $1,000 in facility credit for the programming that will take place in Minto, primarily Palmerston.

The broad-based nature of the coalition will mean a truly comprehensive range of services will be made accessible to young people who need them and the coalition is wisely engaging area youth to help provide input on what they would like to see happen in the communities. Anyone interested is encouraged to contact Vasey. For more information or to connect with the initiative call 1-800-265-7293 ext. 7603 or email: avasey@mountforestfht.com.

Simply by joining forces, the agencies involved have already raised the profile of the services they offer local young people. As the initiative moves forward, the number of youth who can benefit from available programs should increase exponentially.

Hay was cut with a scythe and if a man cut one acre of hay in a day it was considered he had done a good day’s work.

Mapleton’s mayoral and councillor candidates have been invited to lace up their skates to participate in the Club’s CANSKATE session joining the skaters on the ice for a portion of their Learn to Skate program.

Candidates will then greet families informally in the stands and lobbies during the remainder of the on-ice program, with the evening expected to wrap up by 7 pm.

Now we jump in our vehicle and whiz down this same road to work or play. We pass well-kept farmsteads and fertile fields all attesting to that hard work and faith that this would be a thriving community.

While some of us may deplore the fast pace of our daily lives we are certainly blessed and should give thanks that those hardy folk had the fortitude and foresight to pave the way for us. submitted by Jean Campbell

to Drayton over what is now County Road 8 required a detour around a swampy area through Lot 4. Concession 11.

The detour followed a route taken by the railway some 20 years later. He described the same road being made into a corduroy road by felling the pine trees. Only pedestrians and those on horseback were able to travel it a lot of the way.

Through dint of much labour this road way was drained by using pick, axe and shovel, then plough and scrapers to make the ditches. Gravel was drawn from the Conestoga River at Drayton and from Creekbank. Most of this gravel

about 10 feet square, if available, or any flat surface.

The straw was used to feed the cows. The chaff was separated from the grain by throwing shovelfuls in the air, and letting a breeze carry the chaff away.

The letter writer told of travelling to Elora with grain to be milled on an all wooden conveyance, even the axles and wheels, through trails winding around stumps and through water holes and mud. If one did not have even this primitive conveyance the trip was made on foot with a bag of grain slung over your shoulder.

He also related that a trip

Families just arriving to “take up” their lot of land, might live with a relative close by until a log shanty home could be built. Trees were felled, logs prepared and usually neighbours helped erect the buildings. All the work was done by hand, with axe, adze and saw. Thus clearing a small acreage of land.

Underbrush and excess logs were piled in great heaps and burned.

The first crops were planned around the stumps in soil worked with a wooden harrow. The seeds were hand-

Giving thanks As we prepare for family gatherings and the requisite turkey and trimmings we often don’t take the time to count our blessings. Recently while reading some letters and memories of Mapleton I was struck by the diligence, hard work and faith of the people who settled this township.

It is just over 170 years ago the township was opened for settlers. The area was covered in dense hardwood forest with swampy areas.

The crown surveyors gave no regard to hills, hollows, rivers, streams and swamps as they staked out the lots of 200

Good turnout of voters for first all-candidates meeting in Mapleton

FROM PAGE ONE kind of place we are all proud to call home,” she added.

Moorefield area resident Lori Woodham told the audience her attendance at Mapleton council meetings over the past two years has given her a good insight into local politics.

“I have attended many, many council meetings. I’m very familiar with policies and proposals. I believe we have the tools to allow this township to move forward - and I believe by working together as a team … we can achieve many things,” said Woodham, adding the municipality needs to “not only maintain the services we already have, but to attract new families and new businesses.”

She also stated, “I am very honest and straightforward. I value people’s opinions and I’m certainly not shy to express

Martin Tamlyn, a 15-year resident of Mapleton, says the township is “where we call home and we decided to stay here and raise our family.”

Tamlyn said, “my skills and passion and my interests are sustainable capacity,” and stated he would “make sure all decisions of council are informed.”

Tamlyn feels a strong local economy would help keep money in the community.

Noting attractions like the Drayton Festival Theatre bring many people to the township, he said, “wouldn’t it be great for there to be more things for them to see and buy?”

Nadia Sommerville said as an active volunteer and a member of the Drayton Kinette Club, “I know some of your concerns.”

An advocate for people with disabilities in her work, Sommerville said she would be an advocate for taxpayers as a councillor.

“I would like to control spending - spend less money or don’t spend money that we don’t have.” She said she would focus on job creation in the local community.

“The people of Mapleton are hardworking people. We don’t need our tax money spent wastefully. We need to ensure that the tax dollars and the cost of water do no go up.”

Council candidate Richard Molenaar did not attend the meeting and cottage association officials said he did not contact them to provide a reason for his absence.

my own. I’m very detail-oriented and apply common sense to most things.”

Albert Runstedler noted unlike some other candidates, he couldn’t claim his children still live in the area.

“Mine have moved on, married and have the same compliant about this area as many of you. They say, ‘Your taxes are too high, Dad.’” Runstedler said, “the difficulties in our council are numerous, but can be overcome.”

Runstedler said clean drinking water is a priority for local residents and he wondered how the township has ended up in a deficit position in terms of available sewage capacity units.

He also said, “we have to look at contracting out our services as opposed to doing them ourselves.”

John Green said he has “a vast amount of experience,” having served local taxpayers in various political capacities over the past 36 years.

As a county councillor, Green said, “I have lobbied successfully for maintaining roads and bridges in this municipality.”

As chair of the county’s finance committee, Green said he “led a charge” to block the automatic hiring of two police officers per year by the county, “because we’re the safest community in Ontario.”

Green pointed out agriculture is the largest industry in the township and “Mapleton is one of the top 10 agricultural townships in Ontario.”

With two farm equipment dealerships, three feed mills and numerous other agriculture-related businesses in the township, he said, “as agriculture goes, so goes Mapleton.

I think we should recognize that.”

Green stated the community “should be improving in some other areas of economic growth,” but noted, “agriculture is our base.”

A former police officer who now operates the Listowel M&M Meat Shops outlet, Gregg Davidson has been a Mapleton resident since 2006.

While noting, “Wellington County has a very strong, outstanding economy,” with a population base projected to grow by 20,000 people in the next 15 years, Davidson pointed out, “our population is aging and that’s only going to intensify our problem of a shrinking labour pool and a skill gap.”

said he would be “questioning and making educated decisions on everything that comes through council.”

As a businessman Davidson said he is comfortable working with budgets and his experience on the Oakville planning board and other boards and committees “will make my transition to county council seamless.”

Reducing duplication and looking for cost savings will be among Davidson’s goals, he stated, adding, “I will be a good listener.”

One questioner pointed out the province “downloaded” about $10 million in hospital capital costs to the county recently and asked the candidates what their position on further downloading would be.

Green said the council agreed to provide a local funding component for capital projects and hospitals in the county because “there was a threat that some of hospitals were not going to be expanded and the Fergus hospital was not going to be built.”

However, he noted, “the province at some point has to realize there is only one taxpayer.”

Davidson said, “Downloading seems to be a thing the provincial and federal government like to do.

“We get stuck with trying to figure out how to deal with the mess – that’s why it’s

important to have more industry,” in order to generate more assessment to spread out the tax burden.

School board Incumbent Upper Grand District School Board trustee Bruce Schieck represents Mapleton, Minto and Wellington North on the board.

A local trustee since 1991, he has been acclaimed to the position for another four years.

“I think our children are our community’s greatest assets,” said Schieck, who pledged to do what he could to support local students.

Schieck said budgeting will be a big issue for local school boards, “with the provincial government under restraint spending they don’t have any money so there won’t be as much going to us.”

He also pointed out “all of our contracts come due this year, the province is putting freezes on salaries, so it’s going to be really tough negotiating.”

Schieck expects before- and after-school programs in rural areas to be a challenge.

“It’s easier in Guelph, Shelburne and Orangeville because there’s enough people wanting it. If there’s only three people in Drayton wanting it, its harder to do because it costs too much.”

Another candidates meeting was planned for Oct. 9 at the Optimist Hall in Alma (results not known by press time).

81’s granted rate reduction

by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – The Mapleton Minto 81’s Senior ‘AA’ hockey team will again receive a reduced rate for the rental of the auditorium at the PMD arena for a between-periods “Blueline Club.”

At the Sept. 22 council meeting, CAO Patty Sinnamon reported team officials had recently contact the township requesting the same reduced

rate they received last year for the hall usage at games and also for the annual Harvest Rib-Fest hosted by the team.

The 2014 Rib-Fest is planned for Nov. 15.

Council approved the recommendation to apply the reduced rate to 81’s games in Drayton on Dec. 5 and 20; Jan. 9, 17 and 30 and any playoff games - but not to the Rib-Fest event.

I would like to thank this whole community, all my dear friends, neighbours and family for their immense kindness to me during my injury. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not quite there yet but getting more mobile each week.

Thank you so much for all the food and flowers etc. brought in while I was laid up. For your nice visits (which sure kept cabin fever at bay), rides here and there, getting me my mail and groceries and also walking my dogs. There arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough words to describe my heartfelt appreciation. Thank you all again so much, we sure do live in a great little community.

1. gram of sidewalk and curb Marquardt Farm Drainage has been working to provide customers with the best farm drainage system for their needs since the company was established in the mid-1950s.

Founded by three farming brothers who began by tiling fields for their neighbours, Marquardt Farm Drainage was incorporated in 1968. Steven Cronsberry, who began working for the company in 1981, purchased the business from Earl Marquardt when he retired in 1988.

Since the beginning, Cronsberry said the business

has been built with the assistance of reliable employees on the principle of providing a professional service at a reasonable cost.

“I have 10 key employees who have been reliable and loyal to help me provide the customers with the best they can receive,” said Cronsberry, adding the company employs “very competent hy-hoe and dozer operators who can do all our excavating work to our high level of expectations.”

Marquardt Farm Drainage makes every effort to serve their clients in a timely fash-

was added to keep up with the workload and in 2012 a third one was added.

Since 2009, survey work has been done with a total station instrument. A computer handles contour plans, while systems continue to be designed by hand in order to maintain a high level of design standard.

GPS light bars are used to set up runs and a GPS grade control system is used to install tile. Marquardt’s uses three self-propelled drainage machines and a large-wheel machine to install tile systems.

Today, Marquardt’s provides total farm drainage services, including plastic and concrete installations.

Municipal drainage services include concrete installations, open ditch work, hy-hoe and dozer work, ditches, fence rows, land clearing and detailed land surveys and design maps for all projects.

The technology may have changed over the years, but not the goals and objectives at Marquardt Farm Drainage.

“We aim to provide the most professional drainage system possible, and not provide a job where speed and productivity take precedent over getting the job done right using our job design parameters,” states Cronsberry.
