Vial of Life - Safe Communities Mapleton committee members councillor Jim Curry, left, and Fire Chief Rick Richardson presented information on the Vial of Life program at the Seniors Centre for Excellence congregate dining program in Drayton on Oct. 4. photo by Wilma Mol Cultural exchange - Murray Martin, president of the Reapers of Hope ministry in Moorefield, and his son, Cameron, hosted three ministers from Taiwan on Oct. 5. The exchange is a part of a twinning between Wellington Waterloo Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church (made up of 32 churches) and a presbytery in Taiwan. Three Wellington Waterloo ministers have previously travelled to Taiwan through the arrangement. Organizers note the visitors were most impressed with the faith work and the facilities in Moorefield and were shown some of the other work of Christian Aid Ministries. The visitors were natives of the mountainous southern region of Taiwan, a country of more than 23 million people. Rev. Andrew Song from Alma and Elora Presbyterian Church translated and hosted the group with Liz Samis of Mapleton and presbytery clerk Wilma Welsh of Kitchener. Samis provided the visitors with information on Mapleton as well as note books, pens and pins supplied by the township. During the tour through the northern portion of Wellington County the visitors “were in awe of the land, the space and the hospitality of all the people they met,� said Samis. submitted photo

By Rev. Rosemary Godin, Minister, Moorefield-Rothsay United Church We have answers for all excuses As a clergyperson, I hear a lot of excuses about why people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend church. My colleague in Belwood has a good comeback when she hears, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like organized religionâ&#x20AC;? (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one we hear a lot). She replies, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d really like our church! Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not organized at all!â&#x20AC;? Sunday morning church today is competing with youth sports teams, shopping, visiting, community events and just plain old sleeping. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about priorities and people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t choosing to put church first. One of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;trendyâ&#x20AC;? things to say these days as an excuse for not needing church is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m spiritual, but not religious.â&#x20AC;? Whatever that means â&#x20AC;Ś Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a few words from a Presbyterian ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blog in Arkansas that should do the trick entitled No More Excuse Sunday: Dedicated to Missing church Attendees! â&#x20AC;&#x153;To make it possible for everyone to attend church this Sunday, we are going to have a special No Excuse Sunday: Cots will be placed in the foyer for those who say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sunday is my only day to sleep in.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; There
will be a special section with lounge chairs for those who feel that our pews are too hard. Eye drops will be available for those with tired eyes from watching TV late Saturday night. We will have steel helmets for those who say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The roof would cave in if I ever came to church.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Blankets will be furnished for those who think the church is too cold, and fans for those who say it is too hot. Scorecards will be available for those who wish to list the hypocrites present. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Relatives and friends will be in attendance for those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to church and cook dinner, too. We will distribute â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stamp Out Stewardshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; buttons for those that feel the church is always asking for money. One section will be devoted to trees and grass for those who like to seek God in nature. Doctors and nurses will be in attendance for those who plan to be sick on Sunday. The sanctuary will be decorated with both Christmas poinsettias and Easter lilies for those who never have seen the church without them. We will provide hearing aids for those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear the preacher and ear plugs for those who think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too loud! Hope to see you there!â&#x20AC;? (Source: http://argentapres.org/2013/01/24/top-10-ex-
cuses-for-not-going-to-churchwith-responses/). According to an American report from 2013, almost one in five people identify themselves as â&#x20AC;&#x153;spiritual but not religious.â&#x20AC;? Most people who say that mean they believe in God or a higher divine power but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend church. They reject the historic institutional aspect of religion. And yet, we need structure to move forward and get things done in life. Church provides that structure in a way that is communal and should be supportive. Those who want â&#x20AC;&#x153;down timeâ&#x20AC;? after a busy week, you can find that in the peace at church. Those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the hypocrites at church, remember that no one said church is for perfect people. Those who are too tired

to come, come anyway and be energized by the love and worship of something bigger than all of us. The first Sunday in October is always World Wide Communion Sunday in the Christian church. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing thing to me that all around the world, millions of people are gathering as One Body and sharing the feast of Christ. Together we are stronger. There are valid reasons people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to church. And then there are excuses they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come. To me there is a difference. If you give me an excuse, I can give you 10 ways you can get around the excuse. Who knows? Maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll run out of excuses and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see you some Sunday soon. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d really like that.

Deadline looms to aid skate park funding bid After nearly a year of research and fundraising, the Drayton Skatepark Committee presented a proposal for a $100,000 facility in the village to Mapleton Township and is recommending a Riverside Park location. The committee has researched skate park sizes, materials, structures and contractors and selected a preferred location. The group has also considered safety issues, maintenance, insurance and the cost to build and fund the facility. “Although we may have a lot of fundraising to accomplish to make this a viable project, we are confident that the community is behind us and that the time is right for this skate park to become a reality in 2014,” said Jo-Anne Brown, who started putting together the skate park committee last December. The bulk of the cost would be an estimated $45,000 to $55,000 for excavation and pouring of a 82- by 98-foot concrete slab, with a further $35,000 estimated for ramp structures, $2,000 to create a “Wall of Recognition” for donors, and $1,000 for signs. Additional costs could include benches and lighting, the committee members noted in their proposal. While a $100,000 skate park may seem expensive, it’s actually a fairly modest investment, compared to some such facilities, including a planned $500,000 skate park in Elmira and a facility in Erin that ended up costing more than $165,000. The committee has raised nearly $10,000 in cash and pledges and is hoping to eventually raise enough to qualify for funding through the municipality’s 50/50 funding program. The group has also applied to the Aviva Community Fund and could receive anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000 if successful. The committee pointed out the facility is “urgently” needed to replace an existing “do-it-yourself” facility utilizing homemade ramps set up in a turnaround near ABC Park in the southeast corner of the village. There is a great deal of groundwork to be done before this project can receive the go-ahead, including making a final determination on the most suitable location. That’s all down the road. However, the deadline for voting to help move the committee’s bid for Aviva funding on to the next round is looming more immediately. Supporters have until Monday, Oct. 14 at noon to vote in favour of the proposal online. Supporters may vote up to 15 times during this round. It’s clear there is a need for a skate park in the community, so it’s important that local residents get behind the committee’s Aviva bid now. The details of the project can be finalized later, a task that will be much easier with the additional funding support in hand. To vote in support of the committee’s application to the Aviva Community Fund go to avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/afc16839 or search Drayton Skatepark Aviva and follow the link. You must register before you can vote. Patrick Raftis

Mapleton Business Profile Providing best system possible is the priority at Marquardt Farm Drainage 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-

with current technologies and consistently provides competent and reliable workers to maintain a high standard of professionalism. A graduate of the engineering diploma program at Conestoga College, Cronsberry joined Marquardt’s after working for an engineering firm, to price tile work, survey fields and design tile systems for clients. A community-minded business, Marquardt’s supports the local hospital, agricultural societies and other organizations which raise funds to help others. Cronsberry was a longtime member of the Harriston Kinsmen and K-40 clubs and has also been a member of the Harriston branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. When he started out, Cronsberry recalls, all data was kept in a field book, elevation calculations were done with a calculator and he had to plot elevations on maps, draw contour lines and design systems by hand, Since 1993 the business has continually become more computerized. The acquisition of a selfpropelled drainage plow

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.

improved efficiency; in 1992 a second drainage machine 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 GPS grade control system are 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
