NDP candidate plans to create advisory committee on turbines DRAYTON PerthWellington provincial NDP candidate Romayne Smith Fullerton has announced plans to establish a citizen’s advisory committee on industrial wind turbines. Speaking in Drayton on Oct. 17, at the first of a series of “town hall� meetings she plans to host across the riding, Smith Fullerton noted one subject that keeps coming up during her “Listen and Learn Tour,� particularly in the rural part of the riding, is the issue of industrial wind turbines. “It is an issue that was badly mishandled by the Liberals. They disenfranchised rural communities, caused division among neighbours, and quite frankly is one of those hot button issues where there is little consensus between urban and rural areas,� she said. “Nonetheless, we have to
ROMAYNE SMITH FULLERTON
try and resolve this issue.� Smith Fullerton said she empathizes with those who have expressed concern about the process being used to site wind turbines based on her own experience as a community and environmental activist. She said she would prefer a process that respects the principles of the Planning Act and emphasizes the role of local
government and citizens in the process. Smith Fullerton is leading opposition to a proposed gravel pit along the Thames River, which if approved, “Would threaten land along the river and forever change the lives of my neighbours and their families, many of whom have lived in my rural community for generations.� To create workable solutions for the wind turbines and consider other alternative energy sources like bio-mass fuels, the advisory committee will work with her and members of her campaign team. However, she noted a few ground rules. “First, a fundamental principle of New Democrats is to ensure that economic development and environmental sustainability go hand-in-hand. Continued on page 7
First place - Caleb Snyder of Alma was first to cross the finish line in the fun run portion of the Alma Roadkill Race for MS.
Roadkill Race raises funds for MS by Mike Robinson ALMA - Despite its name, Alma’s annual Optimist Roadkill Race on Oct. 19 is for a good cause - the fight against multiple sclerosis. Jim de Bock has been on the forefront of the event since its inception five years ago.
He noted over the past five years the event has raised $10,000 for the Wellington Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society. And a bit of damp weather didn’t stop local residents from coming out to Wallace Cumming Park to participate.
This year races began with the fun run at 1:30pm and the 3km, 5km and 10km run/walk at 2pm. de Bock said he appreciated the police presence (from the Palmerston and Aboyne OPP stations), which kept the event safe in terms of traffic.
Minto Mapleton Family Health Team advocates use of Telemedicine by Wilma Mol DRAYTON - The Minto Mapleton Family Health Team (MMFHT) wants to step up awareness about the benefits of the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN). Coordinators and health care providers gave a presentation at the Mapleton Community Health Centre in Drayton on Oct. 17. OTN Waterloo Wellington Regional manager Vivian
Henderson, OTN nurse Tracy Livingston (Mapleton) and OTN nurse Pam Turton (Minto) gave an overview of how the network connects frontline health care providers and their patients to health care specialists more efficiently. Traditionally, when faced with issues beyond the health care provider’s expertise, patients are referred to a “specialist,� resulting in delays and inconvenience.

Wait times for appointments/consultations in the past have been lengthy, with patients sometimes waiting weeks to months to get an appointment and then, ultimately having to commute great distances to make appointments. OTN streamlines this process by using innovative technology such as cameras and video conferencing. Health care providers can now consult with OTN specialists from their
own office, meaning patients have the potential to receive instant care without even leaving the clinic. Livingston and Turton explained if a patient comes in with a rash that a health care provider has difficulty identifying, a photo of the rash can be sent to an OTN specialist and a diagnosis and treatment plan can be in place before the patient even leaves the office. The MMFHT is currently

using OTN for several specialties including: dermatology, respirology, psychiatry, osteoporosis, diabetes education classes, back care education, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis education events, asthma education classes, smoking cessation and fibromyalgia classes. The services range from individual consultations with specialists to group education classes. MMFHT has also had
patients who have received a transplant connect by telemedicine with their specialist in the city (e.g. Toronto) for followup appointments. Patients are welcome to ask their primary care provider if a visit with a specialist could be done via telemedicine, rather than travelling. In addition to patient benefits, many of the MMFHT staff and other health care providers Continued on page 8

The annual event featured exhibitors from Wellington County Farm Safety, CKNX Health Care Heroes Radiothon, County of Wellington OPP and Safe Communities Mapleton. Tours of a fire safety house and fire extinguisher simulator demonstrations were also educational highlights. The department also launched its 2014 Cash Calendar.

Quilter inspires members of Retired Women Teachers of Ontario PALMERSTON - “Every quilt needs a name,” according to Pat Hooker, a passionate and well known quilter from Mount Forest. On Oct. 4 Oriole Blyth, president of the Palmerston Branch of Retired Women Teachers of Ontario, introduced her longtime friend and former neighbour to the members of the branch. Hooker is a member of the Four Corners Quilt Guild and is also known for the many quilting classes she has taught in locations such as Arthur, Palmerston, Drayton, Listowel and Brussels. A quilter from the age of 14, when she used a treadle sewing machine, Hooker admitted she is addicted to quilting. Members were in awe of the many beautiful quilting projects on display. It was soon evident that each individual project is special to Hooker, as she explained the intricacies involved in her creations of large quilts, table runners, wall hangings and even quilted jackets using sweatshirts. Every year Hooker organizes the creation of a quilt to be raffled off at the Arthur Fall Fair. This year the project consisted of a very special quilt with various quilt blocks sewn together representing many old, historical buildings in the area. The winner of the quilt, a Fergus resident, felt the quilt was so special it should be available for everyone to enjoy so she donated it to the Wellington County Museum and Archives. Hooker has seen many

changes over the years, from using treadle sewing machines, liquid embroidery, machine quilting and using long arm machines to the new rage of using a Twister Ruler. Every small piece can be incorporated into another project, according to Hooker. There are no leftovers. So it looks like Hooker will be quilting for many more years. Dorothy Dickson thanked this very busy, creative woman for her presentation. The ladies of Knox Presbyterian Church in Palmerston prepared and served a roast beef meal. During the business portion of the meeting Blyth welcomed 59 members and guests and presented four new members with pins. Joining the Branch are Ellen Ann Arthur, Patti Emery,

Lorraine Ballard reported from the Goodwill Committee that member Cicely Wareham celebrated her 100th birthday in August with a visit from Shirley Jackson, Betty Tarc and Lorraine Ballard who presented her with flowers from the Provincial RWTO and a card. At the Annual Convention in Hamilton, Wareham and Thelma Horne were recognized in the “Over 90” category while Marian Adams from the Palmerston branch and her daughter Karen Whitworth from the Guelph branch were recipients of the mother-daughter award. Both are retirees. Sandra Cole was welcomed back following a serious illness this summer.
Joan Jeffery and Janet Murphy. Janice Benson received her pin when she joined at the Brunch in September. Blyth updated the group about the 2014 convention in Ottawa in June. Delegates will need to be chosen at the meeting in November. In 2015 the Palmerston Branch will be helping Area 2 host the convention in Stratford. Volunteers will be required. The Lucky Draw Prize donated by Betty Simpson was won by Evelyn Almond. Six ladies paid fines for not wearing their pin. JoAnne Walter was the greeter. Marg Dally presented a very surprised Mildred Francis with the Cora Bailey Award for her dedication and service to the

Recognize worthy youth Far too often, when we speak collectively of youth, it is in a negative connotation, with a focus on the relative few who cause problems. The reality is, the vast majority of young people are hard-working, caring individuals who are a credit to the communities they live in. A special few stand out above the crowd by making a lifestyle of helping others and making a difference in many ways. The Community News and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA) would like to recognize those dedicated young people who are learning now to become tomorrow’s leaders. In Mapleton and across the province, young people are making a difference, inspiring others and building community. By nominating worthy youths for the 2013 Junior Citizen of the Year Awards, coordinated by the OCNA with the support of its 300 member newspapers and program sponsors, we can all help to inspire and provide positive recognition for the selfless young people among us who support so many worthy causes. Nominations may come from anyone in the community. Submission must include at least two supporting nominations that document the activities of the nominee with letters, newspaper clippings, recommendations and photographs. Nominees from previous years who continue their noteworthy endeavours are eligible to be nominated again. New nomination forms and updated documentation are required. Nominations will be accepted until Nov. 30. Nominations and supporting forms are available from the Community News or www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen. Forms can be e-mailed to jr.citizen@ocna.org, faxed to 905-639-6962 or returned to the Community News at 24 Wood Street, Unit A, Drayton. Completed forms may also be returned to: The Ontario Community Newspapers Association, 3228 South Service Rd., Suite 116, Burlington, Ontario L7N 3H8. Any resident of Ontario, aged six to 17 years by Nov. 30, is eligible to become a Junior Citizen. All nominees are recognized with a certificate and their story will be shared in this publication. Nominees may be involved in worthwhile community service; special young people who are contributing while living with a physical or psychological limitation; individuals who have performed acts of heroism or bravery in the past year; or “good kids” who show a commitment to make life better for others and do more than is normally expected.

Fire Safety Tips for the night of • • • • • • • • •
(Office of the Fire Marshal) The best costumes are light coloured or bright and reflective. Keep costumes short to avoid tripping and falling. Minimize the risk of contact with candles or other ignition sources by avoiding baggy pants, loose frills or billowing skirts. Teach children to STOP, DROP and ROLL should their clothing catch fire: STOP immediately, DROP to the ground and cover face with hands and ROLL over and over to extinguish the flames. Always carry a flashlight with you as you accompany your children as they ‘trick or treat.’ Make sure you have a cellphone and that everyone knows to call 9-1-1 in an emergency. Battery-powered candles, lights or glow sticks are safe to use to light up your carved pumpkins and other decorations. Avoid using real candles as they can start a fire that can ruin your Halloween celebrations. If you decide to use real candles, they must be kept well away from children and pets or anything that can burn, such as curtains. Blow out all candles before leaving the room. Keep any carved pumpkins lit with real candles away from the front door as children in flowing costumes may brush by them. Keep any matches, lighters or utility lighters out of sight and reach of children. Ensure electrical outlets are not overloaded with holiday lighting or special effects. Test your smoke alarms to make sure they work. In the event a fire starts in your home, you need to know right away.

MOOREFIELD - The Tapestry of Love Ensemble will present a concert at Moorefield United Church on Nov. 3 at 3pm. Admission is by free will offering. The concert will feature composers Diana Chappell and Brian Stevens and singer Barbara Grenier, who will perform music from the Tapestry of Love CD. Composed by Diana Chappell, the CD was the theme song for the 50th Anniversary of the United Church Women of Canada. When asked about her source of inspiration Diana said, “The lyrics were inspired by the United Church Women Mission statement. Through the text, I sought to weave together the images of a tapestry with images of the diverse women who form the UCWs across Canada. I see the colours of tapestries, ‘laughter’s golden truth,’ as illustrations of the themes from the mission statement.” Rev. Rosemary Godin, minister at Moorefield United, says the congregation is excited about this upcoming performance. “It’s not often a small, rural church like ours gets to host the quality of music that Ms. Chappell and Mr. Stevens are known for. The fact that it is church music and new hymns makes it very special to us,” she said. “We hope the community takes advantage of an opportunity to have music in its midst instead of having to leave the community to hear it.” She said a reception will follow the performance and all
are welcome. Stevens, a recipient of the Lucy Maude Montgomery Award for Children’s Literature, is well known through his many years of work as a pianist and choir director, and is currently a candidate for ordination in the United Church of Canada. He has also been heard in concert, with the Nova Gospel Ensemble on CBC radio’s program All the Best. His cantata, That First Christmas Night, will be released in electronic, CD and print versions for Christmas 2013. Asked about his liturgical writing, Brian responded: “Many of the liturgical songs which I have written speak of our personal, yet collective journey; the seeking of the divine within ourselves and how spirit operates in our daily lives.” A Tapestry of Love concert is an opportunity to hear original Canadian liturgical music, composed by Stevens and Chappell. Audiences will experience a variety of musical styles: gentle folk waltzes (Turn Your Face Unto the Lord), lyrical ballads (Come to Me), a little bit of country (Now and Forever), up tempo tunes (He Was of the People), duets (I Hear a Voice), trios (Love God) a bit of blues (Gethsemane Garden Blues) and of course, Tapestry of Love. Tapestry of Love concerts are presented in partnership with Virgo Music Canada. For More information visit VirgoMusic.ca or contact Stevens 647-825-5136 or brian@ VirgoMusic.ca.

Church of Drayton show Jacob Doan and Phoebe Doan as members during the same time Jacob owned property in Drayton. As well, the Haight and Wilson families were members of the same church. It would appear Jacob Doan, and his family, were a part of this community for at least 22 years and he certainly gained at least province-wide fame and recognition for his artificial limbs, yet he is given very little notice in our local history. submitted by Jean Campbell
come back and celebrate what we have built together here at Grand River Hospital, and to thank our care staff, physicians, volunteers and supporters for their dedication.” John Milloy, government house leader, minister of government services and MPP for Kitchener Centre, said, “Cancer care in our region has benefited greatly from the dedication and contributions of so many people. “Our community is very fortunate to have the services of GRH’s Regional Cancer Centre, which has benefited patients and families throughout Waterloo and Wellington through the specialized, compassionate care that the centre and its people provide.” Since its opening 10 years
ago, the cancer centre has: - provided radiation therapy for 13,796 patients and chemotherapy for 11,699 patients; - regularly been rated as the top cancer centre in Ontario according to wide-range of indicators surveyed by Cancer Care Ontario; - provided access to several diagnostic assessment programs and navigator services, ensuring patients and their families have better access to care and information throughout their cancer journey; and - supported enhancements throughout Grand River Hospital including specialized medical imaging, sophisticated laboratory testing, enhancements to radiation therapy (such as the brachytherapy suite which opened in 2008)
and advanced cancer surgery techniques with minimallyinvasive procedures. “Services such as the regional cancer centre and many others have enhanced health and quality of life for residents of our region as well as those in Wellington County, and the Region of Waterloo is pleased to have provided funding support in the initial development of the centre,” said Waterloo Regional Chair Ken Seiling. The hospital invites patients, families and community members to share their stories about the cancer centre at http://www.grhosp.on.ca/ GRHcancer10. The page contains links to social media sites on which people can contribute their thoughts and photos.

This history also records that John Married Caroline Wilson in 1876. She was born in Drayton, Ontario. It also records that John and Caroline moved to Toronto in 1888 and lived there until 1903.

GUELPH - Grand River Hospital is inviting the community to see how the hospital’s regional cancer centre has become Ontario’s top cancer centre just a decade after opening. GRH will hold an open house at the cancer centre on Oct. 26 to celebrate 10 years of cancer care. The event from 9am to noon will feature guest speaker Dr. Marla Shapiro from CTV’s Canada AM, tours, displays and much more. “There are so many people both in and outside the cancer centre who’ve supported the hospital and put their trust in our care,” said Tracy Elop, chair of the GRH board of directors. “We want to welcome past patients, families and community members to

The Doan family history shows that Jacob was born in Gwillimbury Township, York County, Ontario in 1825. He married Phoebe Haight in 1851.

Drayton’s early doctors, built what was known as the Emes block, which included the present bank premises, Rome’s General Store and Morgan’s Furniture and Funeral Parlour” (presently Daisy Mart Variety and part of the Heritage Funeral Home). This would lead one to speculate that perhaps Doan was a blacksmith who used his skills in shaping iron to fashion useful tools for those who had the misfortune to loose a limb. By 1876, Doan had purchased Lot 157 on Wellington Street South, adding Lot 158 in

Wellington Street, South. The questions posed by this bit of information led to trying to find out how long Doan may have been in Drayton, where did he come from, and where did he eventually end up? Land records show that Jacob Doan owned Lot 21, on the southwest corner of Main and Wellington Street, from 1866 until 1871, when he sold it to Silas P. Emes. Historians Davidson and Flath note that on Lot 21, “in the very early years there was a blacksmith shop. After it burned Dr. S. P. Emes, one of

Jacob Doan, manufacturer of artificial limbs There is a brief paragraph in the History of Drayton, written in 1957 by Joseph M. Davidson and Evron Flath M.D., about Jacob Doan. It states “he manufactured artificial limbs and had patrons from many distant parts of the province. In time his business increased to such proportions that he decided to move to Toronto, where he and his son, John, carried on until the machine age took over.” It also states he built the yellow brick house on Lot 158,

You can be right with God If you have never experienced the joy of responding to God’s call to turn to him, confessed your sin, received immediate and absolute forgiveness for everything, been adopted as his very own child and received a magnificent life that goes on forever, read on. There’s great news ahead! If you already have experienced the joy of responding to God’s call to turn to him, confessed your sin, received immediate and absolute forgiveness for everything, been adopted as his very own child and received a magnificent life that goes on forever, well, read on. There’s even more great news ahead!
There’s a verse in the Bible that goes like this, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed - a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith’” (Romans 1:16,17). When God offers you salvation and eternal life through the death and resurrection of Christ on the cross, he’s offering you an enormous gift. He is offering to remove the condition of sin into which you have been born and save you from an eternity separated from him. That’s why so many of my friends who are “saved” have an unusual peace and joy in this life and anticipate the same
for the life to come. He is offering to deliver you from all forms of evil like demonization, emotional bondage, harmful habits, deeprooted hurts and demoralizing hang-ups. That’s why the marriages of two friends of mine who had been bound by an addiction to alcohol and were on the verge of losing everything they held dear, have been completely restored. Both of them are now involved together with their wives in active service to others. He is offering to surround you with his strong arms of love and keep you safe from anything that would bring you harm. That’s why, when I awake in the middle of the night tortured by anxiety, he gives me calmness as I worship him, and rehearse again his promises of
who I am and what I have in Christ. He is offering to keep and preserve you - always faithfully working to keep you “saved” - advising, checking on, encouraging and sustaining you. That’s why people who follow Christ remain steadfast, attending constantly to the pursuit of holiness, are patient, continuing unswervingly in the pattern God has set out for them, and persist, adhering firmly to truth. He is offering to heal you. That’s why two people very close to me have been miraculously healed recently after receiving prayer from God’s people. One recovered from a severe stress-related illness that kept him off work for six months, and the other from severe and chronic back pain.
The first person has returned fully to work and the other has not even needed to visit her chiropractor, whom she had been seeing three times every week for a very long time. He is offering to give you his presence in all its forms. That’s why the life-force of all who have given themselves to Christ, now filled with his spirit, is becoming the prevailing influence wherever they go. But there’s even more you receive what is called “the righteousness of God.” This means that you are made … well … right. You are placed in a right relationship with God, as another verse in the Bible says, “Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ …” (Gal. 2:16a) The very righteousness that God himself has is transferred
to you, as still another verse in the Bible says, “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Cor. 5:21). Your circumstances become right, as yet another verse in the Bible says, “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (Rom 8:28). Finally, your influence on others becomes effective and fruitful, as even another Bible verse says, “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit - fruit that will last - and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you” (John 15:16). As I said earlier, there’s great news ahead!

earned an assist. Floradale out-shot Community 38 to 22. BETHEL 5 LISTOWEL 0 Although Listowel produced a solid game it was all Bethel in the scoring department. Bethel racked up three goals in the first period and added one more in each of the second and third. Brock Shoemaker scored a pair of goals and added an assist. Brandon Shoemaker collected a pair of assists. Mike Veens and Matt Smith each scored a goal. But it was Mike Seiling’s goal that brought the excitement. Seiling stole the puck in the Listowel end and snapped a low shot along the ice to earn his 200th career point - a significant achievement in a league with only 20game regular seasons. DRAYTON 9 MISSIONARY 4 The first two periods made
it appear this was going to be a close match. Missionary was leading 2-1 after the first, and Drayton just stepped ahead after the second with a 3-2 lead. But it was the third that decided the game. Missionary added a pair of goals but Drayton stormed the net for six. Pat Landman had his way with Listowel racking up four goals and an assist. Eric Dekkers scored one and assisted on two. Dave Mulder, Rob DeWeerd, Mark Timmerman and Jerry Robous each contributed a goal and an assist. Mark Scholten collected a pair of assists. Missionary was led by a pair of goals by Dave Scholten. Matt Freund added a goal and an assist. Scott Vandepas added the final Missionary goal. Single assists were earned by Dennis Gleeson, Paul Vandenberg and Matt Burnett. submitted by Willard Metzger

‘Sinkhole’ fix to cost $80,000 PALMERSTON - Work to repair a “sinkhole” in a public parking lot in downtown Palmerston is expected to proceed soon, at a cost of around $80,000. Public works director Brian Hansen told council at the Oct. 15 Minto council meeting he had met with an engineering consultant the previous week to discuss solutions and the estimated cost.
The problem was first discovered in August, when collapsing pavement was noticed in the parking lot at 105 Main Street West. A staff report indicates the problem appears to have originated when a mill on the property was torn down years ago, and the lot was not filled in properly. The parking lot has been closed since the problem was discovered.
Citizen committee planned
New wheels at Norwell - Toyota officials presented a new car to the Norwell District Secondary School Automotive Program on Oct. 18. The fully-functional new Corolla comes from the “pilot area” of the Cambridge Toyota manufacturing facility. Norwell provides a successful automotive transportation program for students, as well as a growing manufacturing and fabrication program. The school also offers the Ontario Ministry of Education’s enhanced red-seal Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) diploma in these two program areas. The school is always looking for ways to improve the hands-on educational experiences for students, officials note. The Toyota Corolla donated to Norwell will be used for the teaching of diagnostic investigations and analysis of computer related components. With this donation, Norwell students can reach a higher level of industry-standard technical knowledge and skills, and be better prepared as graduates, school officials state. As part of the community of Palmerston, Norwell shares a hometown with TG Minto Inc., which is a “tier one” supplier of Toyota. photo by Wilma Mol
FROM PAGE ONE “That means we support the use of alternative energy sources as a means to wean us off dependence upon a hydro carbon based economy,” she said. “Second, I know the Conservatives are advocating either a moratorium or complete cancellation of industrial wind turbines, depending on who you listen to, which has played well for them politically in rural Ontario. “But remember, the Liberals have signed contractual agreements with private
companies and I do not want to go down the same disastrous path that we have gone down with the $1-billion gas plant fiasco without looking at the implications of all alternatives. “I don’t believe the people of this riding and across Ontario will accept another mega hit to their pocket books because of political expediency.” Citizens of PerthWellington interested in serving on Smith Fullerton’s citizen’s advisory committee can contact her campaign manager, Rick Huband at 519-271-4466.

He added a key element of the 2014 season is a major Broadway musical, which due to a strict licensing agreements will not be disclosed until 2014. “The mystery and speculation has definitely created intrigue,” Mustakas said.

FROM PAGE ONE participate in education sessions by telemedicine to further their knowledge in a particular clinical area. Other specialties or services the MMFHT hopes to offer in the future through telemedicine are: pre-operative appointments for patients having surgery in larger centres, allergies, and cancer care. “We know that more opportunities will come as our program matures,” said Shirley Borges, MMFHT executive director. “We are doing a lot of great work with telemedi-
cine in our rural areas such as Minto-Mapleton and Mount Forest and we offer several services through telemedicine that many urban areas have not either been interested in offering or haven’t realized the incredible value that telemedicine can make for patients in terms of timely and efficient access to services. “I think it surprises some urban providers with how progressive and forward thinking we can be in rural areas.” The program also has a positive impact on the environment. Last year, 237 million kilometres of travel were
avoided, reducing gas consumption and emissions. OTN is an independent, non-profit organization funded by the provincial government and is also used by the Waterloo Wellington Local Health Integration Network. MMFHT has been using OTN for four years but its full benefits have been realized in the last year. “Early days are always challenging,” noted Henderson, adding the team is confident the program is the way of the future for health care in Ontario.
