Bridge confident province will deliver on rural broadband funds By Patrick Raftis GUELPH – Ontario’s new Progressive Conservative government has slowed momentum on a project to bring high speed internet to rural areas in this region. However the chair of Wellington County’s economic development committee (EDC) is confident funding will come through and the project will proceed. The Southwester n Integrated Fibre Technology (SWIFT) project aims to expand access to broadband internet by delivering fibre optic coverage to over 350 communities with a total population of 3.5 million across western Ontario, as well as Caledon and Niagara. Wellington County council agreed in 2015 to provide $1-million over five years to the SWIFT plan, which was initiated by the Western Ontario Warden’s Caucus (WOWC) and involves 14 counties and 10 separated municipalities. The federal and provin-
Party in Alma - Pigs n Rigs is a new event for 2018 for the Alma Bible Church Ministry Weekend. The community was invited for a free dinner with music provided by Stand Firm and the opportunity to explore the rigs on display, including farm tractors, a police cruiser, an Ayr Coach Lines bus, and Whitelaw Transportation transport truck.

cial governments each agreed in 2016 to provide $90 million toward the project. EDC chair councillor GEORGE BRIDGE George Bridge, who represents Wellington on the WOWC, was asked to provide a status report on Oct. 25 by councillor Alan Alls, who said the topic “came up a lot” during the recent municipal election campaign. “Actually, with the new government, it’s delayed (a) little bit, but we’re getting close,” said Bridge. “We already have one project in the works down by ChathamKent … and we’re supposed to be getting our final business plan approved by the government in the next few weeks and once we get that then we can roll it out.” Bridge said he also heard about the issue on the campaign trail, including from a young participant in a mock election held at Palmerston
Public School. Bridge said a Grade 5 student told him after the event, “‘I voted for you, Mr. mayor, because you’re going to bring high speed internet out to me in the country.’” Bridge stated, “The new government slowed it down a bit, but they’re getting the picture and I think we’re going to be getting it done.” Asked in an interview after the meeting if there was any chance the provincial funding would be cancelled or reduced by the new government, which has already cancelled a number of initiatives approved by the previous Liberal regime, Bridge said he is confident that won’t happen. “No. They’re not reconsidering it … That money is already approved,” said Bridge, pointing out the project, like all spending, was part of a “line by line” review of the province’s finances conducted after the Conservatives took office. “We’re trying to move it SEE BROADBAND » 3
Love and time key ingredients to foster parenting formula DRAYTON – Through a decade of foster parenting, Drayton residents Fran and Andy Turner have provided a loving home environment to an amazing total of 24 children. “It’s been an exciting 10 years. We’ve seen lots of kids, we’ve adopted twice … I don’t think we imagined our life this way 10 years ago,” said Fran during an Oct. 19 interview. The previous evening she attended an appreciation event for area foster parents hosted by Family and Children’s Services of Guelph and Wellington County (FCSGW). Kirk Jenkins, of FCSGW’s Foster and Adoption Team, said in an email statement the Turners “have been very active foster parents and have provided a warm, nurturing, and safe home to many children in need over their 10 years of fostering.” Fran said the couple first got involved in foster parent-
ing through friends in the program. “We had friends that did relief and that kind of sparked our interest. But I think the main thing was, we’ve always enjoyed kids,” she stated. Through their church, the Turners have been involved with mission trips to assist at orphanages in Peru, with Andy participating in such trips three times and Fran involved in 10. “It kind of got us thinking, ‘What could we do here to help out the kids?’ So it was a good fit,” Andy said. The Turners had three children, the oldest in Grade 8, when they initiated the process to become foster parents. “The first step is to call in to the agency and they will direct you to those that are handling recruiting,” Fran explained. “You go through a home study. It’s really indepth. They really need to know you and know your past, and know your struggles and your strengths.” She added, “Just because

allowed to host no more than three children at once, the Turners have had as many as seven children in their home simultaneously, including four of their own. Providing foster care comes with both rewards and challenges, the Turners explain. “The rewarding part is when a child goes to their forever home - whether it’s an adoption, a kin, back home because every child has a different success in their story,” said Fran. “When you see a child face their challenges, because they come with challenges, … When you see progress … that they’re moving forwards not backwards, that’s really exciting.” Andy explained, “Each one comes here with a different set of circumstances and different either health issues or abandonment issues or … mental health issues; the challenge is kind of navigating through that, learning what works for each child.” Another challenge, notes SEE LOCAL FOSTER » 4

Creating seasonal planters focus of horticulture meeting By Bonnie Whitehead CLIFFORD - President Vic Palmer welcomed members and guests to the Clifford and District Horticultural Society meeting on Sept. 25 at the community hall in Clifford. Guest speakers Julie Stan and Frances Reinink, from Country Creations in Mount Forest, demonstrated the ease and versatility of creating Christmas arrangements in a variety of planters. Stan started with an outdoor planter, added oasis, and an ornamental grape-
vine ball with the added effect of a solar light. The ball was anchored with B.C. cedar and a variety of greens to add depth and colour. Other advice she offered included: check for symmetry, soften the look with spruce and add berries for a pop of colour or rosehip, sedum, winterberry, teasels, or milkweed. Reinink chose to create an indoor centrepiece with a wooden box, oasis, greens, and any number of features including stars, birds, candle or lights. Start with cedar and enjoy the scent of the sea-
son, but remember to keep the planter well watered, she explained. Try making a design in a large glass vase, she added. She also suggested adding a smaller tall vase and surrounding the inside with bark and pine cones and filling with cedar, dogwood or holly. Keep in mind your design can be sparkly, rustic, whimsical, festive, or themed, she urged. To celebrate national tree day, a tree was planted by the labyrinth at the Rotary Park in memory of Helene Held.
Broadband funding held up by change of government » FROM PAGE 1
from OMAFRA into where it should be, in infrastructure,” said Bridge. “So it’s a joint thing, because we have to do a business plan approval and it was being done under the previous government.” He added, “anytime there is a switch over” projects do not automatically keep moving forward. During the election campaign the Conservatives pledged to enable privatelyfunded natural gas expansion to more communities, which they projected would save the province up to $100 million. At the same time, they pledged to make broadband and cellular infrastruc-
ture projects eligible under the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF), and provide up to $100 million to fund such projects. In September, the government introduced legislation lifting restrictions on limiting private sector participation in natural gas expansion projects. “We should know in about two weeks,” said Bridge. “We’ve redone it. Sent it in and I think all the questions have been answered.” Bridge said WOWC and SWIFT officials discussed the project with all three major provincial parties prior to the June 7 provincial election. “Everybody was for this.
Everybody knows we need high speed in rural. There’s nobody against it,” said Bridge. He noted bringing high speed internet to all of southwestern Ontario’s rural areas would actually take about $4 billion. “Well, we don’t have four billion dollars. We have $350 million through the governments and all the people we’ve brought on board,” he explained. However, he said efforts are being made to plan projects so that gaps can be filled in as funds become available in the future. “We’re trying to use our money as wisely as possible,” he stated.

Lessons of history In addition to traditional services, local communities will participate in additional ceremonies to commemorate Remembrance Day on Nov. 11. The Bells of Peace will mark the occasion 100 years ago, when church bells across Canada rang out to share news of the end of the First World War. As the sun goes down, a bell or bells will be rung 100 times at community locations across the country to honour the sacrifices of Canadians who served in the Great War from 1914 to 1918, and to remember the horrors of war, the costs to society and the promise of peace. The ceremony will be observed in Drayton, Palmerston and Harriston, just as it will be in communities of all sizes nationwide. Unfortunately Remembrance Day 2018 will be particularly noteworthy this year for reasons that are less historic in nature. The Jewish Holocaust, so intertwined with the story of the Second World War, is always remembered at this time as well as the memory of the valiant Canadian and Allied soldiers who gave their lives in the fight against fascism. Yet just this past Saturday, the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the history of the U.S. occurred at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Eleven innocent lives were lost. Sadly and stunningly, such a heinous attack on U.S. soil, perpetrated by an American citizen, seems almost a routine outrage in the current hate-fuelled climate down south. Sadder still, the country that led the fight for freedom in previous global conflicts is now led by a parody of a president more likely to throw gasoline on the fire than provide a calming influence. Can’t happen here though, right? Hmmm. In Canada we are less than two years removed from a similar attack, that time on the Muslim community in Quebec City. Six worshippers were killed and 19 others injured when a lone gunman opened fire shortly after the end of evening prayers on Jan. 29, 2017. Across the country, police-reported hate crimes have steadily risen in recent years from 1,167 incidents in 2013 to 1,409 in 2016. They’re also getting more violent; according to Statistics Canada, in 2016, the number of violent hate crimes rose 16% from the previous year (from 487 to 563 violent incidents). That’s even more jarring when you take into account that in an estimated two-thirds of cases, victims of crimes don’t report them to the police. Are we normalizing such behaviour here in Ontario? Perhaps not yet to the extent it occurs in the U.S., but it’s worth noting that in the recent municipal election Faith Goldy, whose white supremacist associations were considered so extreme even Rebel Media, noted purveyors of intolerance in their own right, cut ties with her, drew 3.4 per cent of the vote in the Toronto mayoral race. That’s over 25,000 supporters, good enough to finish an admittedly distant third in a field of 35 candidates. Aside from that, Goldy’s other recent claim to fame was appearing during the election campaign with a number of her followers in a photo with Premier Doug Ford at his Ford Fest shindig. It’s hard to imagine Ford didn’t know who Goldy was and what she represented, given he’s shown more interest in Toronto politics than the provincial variety since becoming premier. For three days Ford avoided disassociating himself with Goldy when called upon to do so in the legislature. So yes, again this year, we have many reminders of why we remember the sacrifices made in the name of peace and freedom and real-life reasons to remember the lessons of history, lest we be compelled to repeat them.

She noted family members sometimes direct anger about their own situations at foster parents. “They’re angry and they always kind of point to us, because we’re the ones with the kids,” she explains. Fran said the couple’s number one priority is to give the children in their care “a safe environment.” Beyond that, she said, “I guess my goal has always been to give them what they need to be a success - their success. You know success doesn’t have to look like university or CEO material. “If their best is putting pizza boxes together, that’s their best.” The Turners said they feel well supported in their efforts by FCSGW. Each child placed in their home has a worker from the agency and the foster parents are assigned their own worker. The child’s family also has an assigned worker and the workers all have supervisors and links to additional resources. “The Foster Family Association and the foster families are a great support too,” said Fran. Foster parents, added Fran, don’t have to be extraordinary individuals, just people with the right combination of compassion and common sense. “We were never superparents. We’re just trying to do our best,” she stated. “Give them love. Love and time. It’s something that they haven’t always experienced,” added Andy. “Give them the time and just love them unconditionally.”

Legion secretary Mary Moffat said local schools have also been invited to ring bells at that time and any local residents are also welcome to participate by ringing a bell. Bells of Peace marks the occasion 100 years ago, when church bells across Canada rang out to share the news: the First World War was over. As the sun goes down, a bell or bells will be rung 100 times at community locations across the country to honour the sacrifices of Canadians who served in the Great War from 1914 to 1918, and to remember the horrors of war, the costs to society and the promise of peace. In Harriston, the bell at the former post office building (The Old Post) will ring out 100 times on Nov. 11 at the end of the remembrance parade at approximately 11:20am. Bells will also ring at Palmerston United Church and St. Paul’s Anglican Church at sunset. The Palmerston Legion has also been asking the general public to participate by using any bells (even digital) that they may have.

By Rev. Calvin Brown
Humility One of the greatest thinkers to influence western culture was John Calvin. He once noted that “humility is the beginning of true intelligence.” The Bible also speaks much about humility - although today it has fallen out of fashion as much of a virtue worth pursuing. Yet even Jesus urged those he taught to seek humility. Even before Jesus came into the world the Hebrews praised humility as one of the greatest evidences of wisdom and a value to be treasured. In Proverbs 11:2 we read, “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.”
Clifford open to traffic By Bonnie Whitehead CLIFFORD - The main street of Clifford was officially opened to traffic at 3:30pm on Oct. 25, following nearly five months of construction. A detour was officially set in place on May 30. Town of Minto workers set out benches and garbage cans and there will be a railing atop the retaining wall. Townspeople and commuters will see the new street lights with veterans memorial banners attached to each light pole, and no hydro lines. They may notice the dips in the curbs that will help people with walkers and wheelchairs access the street easier from their vehicles, sidewalks that look wider and are lowered in some parts and raised in others and pattern and colours in the brick work. A Light up the Street celebration set for Nov. 15. The evening will include a business decorating contest, horse drawn wagon rides, carolling, activities at 10 locations, and a new passport draw. Participants can collect signatures from each location and enter a draw for $250 in Clifford merchants gift certificates, sponsored by Moorefield Excavating. A live band, radio-controlled cars, face painting, elves, pop up vendors, appetizers and more will be part of the opening celebration.

things real and maintains integrity in all our dealings. James states this clearly in his epistle: “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” James 3:13 Perhaps we shy away from seeking humility because it is popularly confused with humiliation. Humiliation indeed is largely to be shunned. Humiliation is a product of shame and pain. It arises out of wrongdoing and bad actions. It may be useful short term to motivate us to take corrective action so we can move away from humiliation but to live constantly in humiliation is to live with life sucked out of you. In many ways humiliation is the opposite of humility. Humiliation tries to lock you in the negative lowest form of self esteem while humility seeks to enable you to move in truth to improve on your circumstances and character. Humility is the charac-
Canadians are known for our humility but in fact instead of true humility we have recently substituted self righteousness and a sense of moral superiority. We think we are better than other nations and feel entitled to tell them so. While we can acknowledge the truth that we have very much to be thankful for in Canada and that there really isn’t any place we’d rather live, we need also to acknowledge we are not without faults either in the past or presently. True humility is the characteristic that enables us to not only celebrate our true virtue but to admit also our shortcomings. I once defined true humility for someone as “reality therapy.” That is we admit what we are and deal with it. We do not pretend to be what we aren’t but acknowledge all that we are – the good, the bad and even the ugly. This is the characteristic that enables us to live in full reality and to grow and flourish. Humility is the characteristic that keeps

ter best illustrated by Jesus when he came to Earth to serve us. He took on the form of a servant even though he was in fact God in human form. Humility, next to love, is the evidence that God is at work in your life by his Spirit working within. This is the very thing God has designed us for and which enables us to complete our happiness. Micah the prophet says: “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. “And what does the Lord require of you? “To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8 Let us make a more focused choice to live humbly each day so that not only will we please God, but we will also be a blessing to our neighbours.

Block 90 is approximately 2.89 ha (7.14 ac) in size and Lots 11-37 & 49-64 and Blocks 91 are approximately 3.48 ha (8.6 ac) in size and the location is shown on the map below. The Purpose and Effect of the Application The purpose and effect of the proposed amendment is to rezone the subject lands from Future Development (FD) to Residential (R3) to facilitate the construction of a cluster townhouse development.

The applicants have also requested to remove the holding symbol (H) from Block 91 and Lots 11-37 and 49-64 to allow for development of additional residential dwellings. The Holding Symbol has been applied to the properties in order to provide Council with an opportunity to ensure that sufficient municipal water and sewer capacity is available for the use. Once the Holding symbol has been removed, the regulations of the Residential Exception R3-31.265.2 zone, and all other applicable regulations of the Township of Mapleton Zoning By-law 2010080, shall apply to the subject land.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the Township of Mapleton before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so. Request for Notice of Decision If you wish to be notified of the decision in respect of the proposed Township of Mapleton Zoning By-law Amendment, you must make a written request to the Clerk.
