Township insurance premium up 2% due to additional property coverage

by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - The township will pay an additional two per cent in insurance premiums next year. However, insurance providers stress the extra charges are to cover additional property, not a rate increase. The township is carrying additional “builders risk� coverage for construction of a new maintenance centre for a little over $5 million, plus increased property value in the form of new graders. Property values have also been increased to reflect inflationary trends. “Your premium is up just over two per cent and majority of that is increased property,� Steve Smith, regional manger

for the Frank Cowan Company, told Mapleton council on Oct. 27. Smith said council could consider additional options being offered, including accident coverage for councillors or board members injured while not on duty. “Some of the municipalities are looking at that because council is not under WSIB,� explained Smith. He noted he policy contains few changes from last year and he pointed out the township had “an extremely good year on liability side, not much in the way of claims.� Smith attributed the low claims totals to “good manage-

ment� on the part of the township staff and council “and a little bit of luck.� He also noted the province still has not acted on requests from the insurance industry and municipalities to alter joint and several liability provisions, under which municipalities are often compelled to pay the lion’s share of large insurance settlements despite being found only marginally responsible. “We’re still hoping for some change on that,� said Smith. Council approved a motion to accept the renewal at a premium of $198,998 for 2016. The 2015 premium was $194,592.

Kumpville drive residents told mud flooding concerns not municipal issue by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - Township council has determined it can’t help residents of Kumpville Drive with mud flooding their properties from a neighbouring farm. In September, Kumpville Drive residents Kathy Pehlke and Roger Hartung told council topsoil erosion regularly washes down the hill from a farm behind their property, filling ditches and culverts, washing out the road and flooding basements and garages. Residents have had the ditches dug out at their own expense, only to have them fill back in. Pehlke said the residents were told the concern didn’t meet the township’s requirements for a prop-

erty standards complaint, but council requested the bylaw enforcement officer investigate the situation. At the Oct. 27 meeting, council received a report from chief building official Patty Wright stating the position of the building and bylaw/property standards department is that the situation is a civil matter between landowners. The report states the township’s bylaw regarding property standards “is not relevant to this situation,� as it refers to surface drainage of yards. “The definition of a yard is not applicable to this situation as the property is farmland under cultivation; it is not a yard or vacant land,� the report explains.

At the same meeting, Pehlke said the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) advised her the owner of the farmland is in the process of applying for grants for planting trees on the property to help halt the soil erosion. “Next spring grasses will be grown and trees will be planted that will eventually stop the erosion, or at least slow it down,� said Pehlke. However, she expressed concern the landowner might not follow through and re-iterated her request that council send a letter to the landowner. “All we really ask of council is to send the landowner a letter saying there was a complaint,� Pehlke said. She also disputed the con-

tention the matter is not a property standards issue. “This is a farming township. Except for Drayton, Rothsay and Moorefield every residence abuts farmland. Are you saying the bylaw doesn’t apply to all property in the township?â€? she asked. “We’ve become the little community that’s forgotten.â€? Wright said, “Unfortunately we’re tied by the legislation that we have available to enforce. The response is based on our property standards bylaw ‌ this is a civil matter between landowners and I don’t’ feel there’s any jurisdiction that’s in place to allow us to get in the middle.â€? Wright’s written report notes the position is supported

by the township’s solicitor. “Further action is not required nor recommended,â€? the report states. Pehlke pointed out the property standards bylaw in nearby Perth East refers to residential, non-residential and farmland. “So if we lived in Perth East it would not be an issue.â€? Councillor Michael Martin wondered if the problem arises because of the way the bylaw defines the term “yardâ€?? “This is farmland; nothing has changed on this land, there’s been no change in grades, they’ve done nothing ‌ it’s not vacant land, its under cultivation,â€? replied Wright. “A yard is something that’s under a plan of subdivision, or a yard-grading plan

that if you’ve altered that,â€? property standards could come into play. “There’s nothing the landowner has done to create the situation. This is nature.â€? Councillor Marlene Ottens said, “I really feel the frustration here. I combed the bylaw looking for something ‌ I hesitate to try to change anything to include farmland.â€? Ottens added, “I think problem here is owner doesn’t understand that they are losing their topsoil. Is it appropriate for someone from council to make a visit in person to try and explain this? Given we’ve had heavy rains and that seems to be, with the climate, the new normal now, she needs a lesson Continued on page 3

Chinese food safety delegation visits Mapleton facilities during Canadian tour by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - A delegation of top Chinese food safety officials visited the area last week as part of a fact-finding mission. The delegation included about two dozen senior representatives from major food safety organizations in China, including Yujia Li, inspector general of the China Food and Drug Administration’s Department of Food Safety Supervision. The group has been in Canada since Oct. 25 and has spent time learning about food sciences technology at the University of Guelph. On Oct. 28, the delegates enjoyed lunch at Mapleton’s Organic Dairy, before touring Bionpower, an Elmira biogas facility owned by a group of shareholders including Mapleton poultry producer Buck Ross. The day, which

also included a tour of Drayton Food Market, concluded with a “farmer’s supper� at Ross Enterprises’ facility in Mapleton Township. The event was hosted by Ross Enterprises Ltd., along with Wellington-Waterloo Community Futures and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs in conjunction with the County of Wellington Economic Development Department, Mapleton Township and TasteReal Guelph-Wellington. The Canadian trip was arranged through the Bond Education Group, which is certified by the Chinese government to bring over delegates and connect them with other organizations in Canada in order to share best practices in various fields. Paul Preikschas, a project coordinator with the company, said the delegates were all

to this area for a number of reasons. “One of our partners within the food safety area of course is the University of Guelph, a Canadian research institution in food safety,� said Preikschas. “Keeping it within the area, we wanted to expand out and get to some of the small providers of food services so they can actually see, at a local level, how food safety is initiated.� Ross pointed out the trip was initiated by the Chinese government. “This delegation’s here on their own initiative. They wanted to come to Canada. They are paying their own way to come and learn about the products that we have,� said Ross. Preikschas added members of the Chinese delegation “are very inquisitive, they are getting a lot of information and asking a lot of questions so they are definitely seeing

things that they’re taking back with them.� Through an interpreter, Li told the Community News the delegation “needs to learn a lot from here because we have a larger population in China and farmers already have very strict regulations - but now but we’re going to bring what we learn here and apply it in China.� Li also said, “We’re pretty impressed with the size of the food market that we went to and we’re pretty impressed with the environment inside it as well. In China we also have grocery stores in rural areas, but compared to the size here the Chinese markets are much, much smaller; so we hope we can improve that way in the future as well.� While the delegation was not on a trade mission per se, both Preikschas and Ross feel such exchanges are part of the Continued on page 6

Wallenstein feed mill operation is Canada’s largest by Caroline Sealey DRAYTON - Mapleton Township hosted a Joint Economic Development meeting on Oct. 27 at the PMD arena. Members of economic development committees of Mapleton, Minto and Wellington North, along with mayors, councillors and local MPP Randy Pettapiece and MP John Nater, were on hand to hear from guest speakers and receive updates on the area’s economic growth. Guest speaker Vicky Hamell, operations manager at Wallenstein Feed and Supply, shared the history of the business from its grass roots to present day. As a child, Lloyd Martin worked alongside his father at Wallenstein General Store, selling feed from the rear of the store. Martin expanded the business to a warehouse across the road from the store and eventually purchased Riverside Feeds in 1958 for $90,000, establishing Wallenstein Feed and Supply. Tragedy struck on Aug. 10, 1963 when the mill burned to the ground causing an estimated $100,000 damage. Neighbouring mills rallied around Martin and filled feed orders for Martin’s customers. The mill was rebuilt four months later and Martin became a dealer for Purina and Shur Gain products. Son Rick Martin joined the company as general manager in 1981. At this time Martin moved to the purchasing department. Mill #2, which is used to produce layer feeds, was added shortly after and the company employed a layer nutritionist and two employees per shift in the mill. With continual growth the company had established itself as the largest feed producer in Canada. An addition was add to Mill #2 in 1994. Planning began prior to 2001 for the building of Mill #3, which would process broiler, breeder and turkey feeds. With the purchase of Great Lakes Nutrition of Monkton, Ontario in 2009, the business increased by 27 employees and three trucks. As the company had outgrown its facilities again, Mill #3 added of an extra 76,000 tonnes of capacity in 2001. Mill #4 has been in the planning stage for two years and construction began in early February, 2015. After 57 years of steady growth, Wallenstein Feed and Supply is now the largest feed mill in Canada, operating 24 hours a day, six days a week. “Wallenstein Feeds is pas-

When Pehlke attempted to comment further, Mayor Neil Driscoll stopped her, stating, “Sorry, we are not going to be debating this back and forth. Council approved a resolution to accept Pehlke’s delegation for information. Council also approved a resolution to accept Wright’s report, with only Martin opposed. “I honestly struggle with our interpretation of the definition of a yard,” he explained.

Our goals are to provide leadership in the delivery of nutritional solutions and support for our customers in achieving their goals,” Hamell said. With a fleet of 43 trucks, the company delivers feed across Ontario from Windsor, Niagara, Kingston and North Bay and all points in between. Exports to Trinidad and Slovakia have taken the com-

pany into the world markets. Augered trucks are gradually replacing blower trucks. Over 1,800 different feeds are produced at the Wallenstein site and 700 premixes are made in Monkton. The bulk of the companies feed is pelleted for the layer, broiler, turkey, swine, dairy and beef industries. A small portion of sales are crumb mixtures. A fourpass grinder mill, the first in Canada, is used to improve the texture of feed mixes.

YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER

EDITORIAL

Recognize young leaders Every community has young stars. These individuals are working hard to make their community a better place by volunteering for various organizations, making donations, saving lives and maintaining top grade averages. They are everywhere; in your homes, at school, on the field and at church. If you know someone who deserves a large pat on the back, nominate them today for the Ontario Junior Citizen Awards. Our newspaper strongly supports this program, because we support the growth of our community. We look forward to providing recognition for such outstanding young people who continue to be fine examples of leaders in our community. The awards program is coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA), of which we are a member, and sponsored by TD Bank Group and the Insurance Bureau of Canada. Any Ontario resident aged six to 17 (as of Nov. 30) is eligible to be chosen as a final recipient of this award. Please help us by nominating an individual in one of five areas: - a person involved in worthwhile community service; - a special young person contributing to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation; - an individual who has performed an act of heroism in the past year; - excellence in achievement, such as the arts or athletics; and - good kids who show a commitment to make life better for others and do more than normally expected of someone their age. Up to 12 nominees will be chosen as the final recipients of the provincial award and will be invited to a special ceremony held in the spring of 2016 in Toronto. Nominate a deserving young person today, and we will personally present them with a certificate of recognition and showcase their contributions in this newspaper. Help us pay tribute to our leaders of today and tomorrow. The nomination deadline for the 2015 Ontario Junior Citizen Awards is Nov. 30. Nomination forms are available at www.ocna. org/juniorcitizen or by calling 905-639-8720 ext. 4438.

Grants are available for food, heating costs, clothing, prescription medication, medical appliances and equipment, essential home repairs and emergency shelter or assistance. Comforts for Veterans and their surviving spouses who are hospitalized and in need may also be provided.

By Glynis M. Belec

Show, don’t tell It’s something we hear often as writers. Ask any scribe who has ever taken a course, attended a conference or read a how-to write book, and they will tell you that “show, don’t tell� is core advice for every writer. I will spare the lecture; suffice to say instead of using pas-

sive sentences like, “the house was run down and filthy� say “the peeling paint on the old door brushed off easily as he knocked twice. The flowers, long-dead, curled and dry, clung to the mud-caked siding. Jamie pushed the creaking door open and a damp, mouldy smell assaulted him as he peered in looking for signs of life.� Showing involves the use of many senses. Telling involves only hearing. Writers try to pay atten-

CELEBRATIONS

tion so stories and characters are believable and relatable. Telling is sometimes okay, but a writer should never just tell details. There has to be a lot more showing than telling for the reader to process a story properly and stay tuned. As my brain is wont to do sometimes, I started thinking about how show, don’t tell, actually is pretty sound advice for the Christian life, too. “Jesus replied, ‘But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice’� (Luke 11:28). Probably one of the worst things we can do as believers is to only tell others about the right way to live according to

God’s will. Yes, God did tell us about His clear plan for salvation. So it’s good to read the Bible and understand His plan and purpose just the way God told it, and then it is also good for us to tell others about what God has done in our lives. But I think we do it all wrong when we think the buck stops there. God not only told us what was going to happen, He showed us what he meant. He went beyond His words and showed us through the spilled blood of Christ what the Christian life is about. We need to do the same. We cannot simply spout scripture at people. That’s impressive for a while, but if we

at talking the talk. I like the way The Message Bible paraphrases James 1:2627. “Anyone who sets himself up as ‘religious’ by talking a good game is self-deceived. This kind of religion is hot air and only hot air. Real religion, the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is this: Reach out to the homeless and loveless in their plight, and guard against corruption from the godless world.� In other words, we don’t just talk about what the Word of God says, we need to present ourselves as Christians by our acts of love. Show . . . don’t [only] tell!

merely tell what we know it’s like casting aspersions on those who do wrong (because we think we know better according to the scripture). Not to mention, that is not God’s desire for His people. If we post wise words or cutesy quotes on our Facebook pages about how we should care and love one another, but never lift a finger to help a hurting or hungry person, then we are merely tellers of the Word. If we only tell others about the good that Christians do or should do, but don’t do anything ourselves, then we are not someone who shows a genuine love of Christ through action. We are just really good

We would like to thank everyone, especially our family, who came to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary with us. Your cards, gifts and good wishes are appreciated. Also thanks to Arlie and her helpers for the delicious food.

Owner Evelyn Gould, ran many special events like a Thomas Train Parade, Groovy Girl Doll Party, and Magic Shows as well as providing an area to build an 8,000 piece community jigsaw puzzle. “Drayton was a great place to hold events; our customers really got into the spirit of each event� said Gould. Unfortunately the small population of the Drayton area could not sustain continued growth for this specialty store. In 2004 the Drayton store was closed so that the owners could focus on the new store located at 735 Tower Street South in Fergus. Now a 4,000 square foot store Jester’s Fun Factory has become a true one-of kind family business. Evelyn along with husband Tim and son Vince Gould work full-time to bring customers a huge selection of toys, games, jigsaw puzzles, car models and much more. The Gould family would like to extend a special invitation to all of their first Mapleton area customers to join them on Sat. Nov. 14 for a fun day of game playing and reminiscing. Photos of the Drayton store will be on display. For more information like Jester’s Fun Factory on Facebook or visit www.jestersfunfactory.com.

New jobs - Spectrum Feed Services owner Dave Flaherty shows participants around the facility during the Live and Work Wellington bus tour on Oct. 29. photo by Olivia Rutt

Bus tours highlight local opportunities by Olivia Rutt MAPLETON - The first Live and Work Wellington bus tour was held on Oct. 29 with 21 people visiting three agricultural businesses in Mapleton. At each stop, which included Wallenstein Feed and Supply, Spectrum Feed Services and Canarm AgSystems, participants were given a tour of the facility and an opportunity to hand in resumes. “The Live and Work Wellington bus tour is about enticing new workers to come in to Wellington County and show them what great opportunities we have here,” said Robyn Mulder, global talent coordinator for the county. Mulder explained the county’s business expansion and retention program found that local employers were looking for people to fill their openings in the agriculture sector, but there were not many people to fill those positions. “That’s because there’s a low unemployment rate at the moment,” she said.

“The agricultural sector is such a big part of rural southern Ontario that’s why we wanted to showcase what wonderful opportunities we have here.” Spectrum Feed Services owner Dave Flaherty said it was important to be a part of the tour. “We have a limited exposure to people in the community here … anytime we can get exposure for our business and people become more aware of the ag-business, it’s really important to us,” he said. “We have a tendency to have lots of immigrants in this county but we get very few that come to the more rural areas. There’s lots of demand for people out here.” Mulder said she is hoping the participants will get their foot in the door. “What we’re hoping, we have asked them to bring their resume and they are welcome to hand them in while we go around and we are hoping that people are going to get jobs,” she said. Participants Helen Bowley

and Sue Eyre were impressed with the tour. “I came along because I’m currently in between looking for new jobs. My background is agriculture but also my background is graphic design,” said Bowley. Eyre added, “I’ve been a foreman since I was 21 and I’ve always been in that industry and now I’m in health care. [I always wanted] to get back to the agricultural side of it ... being more outdoors and more physical and everything, so I thought there’d be some openings I could do.” The next tour, on Nov. 19, will have a heath care focus, including stops at Louise Marshall Hospital in Mount Forest, Caressant Car Nursing and Retirement Homes in Harriston, and Groves Memorial Community Hospital in Fergus. “There are fantastic jobs here in Wellington County at some of the hospitals and the family health teams so we’ll be showcasing three other companies then,” said Mulder.
