Two Foster comedies, musical classic on 2015 Drayton playbill CAMBRIDGE - Drayton Entertainment artistic director Alex Mustakas recently unveiled the theatrical company’s 2015 season, which is themed “Music, laughter … and all that jazz!” Nineteen productions will run on seven stages throughout Ontario from March through December. “2015 is a year of celebration, as it marks the 25th anniversary of the Drayton Festival Theatre,” says Mustakas. “We have planned a season full of magical moments at all of our theatres, complete with Broadway blockbusters, heartwarming comedies, nostalgic musical tributes and lots of family fun.” Tickets are on sale now exclusively to members, followed by groups and subscribers on Nov. 10, and the general public on Dec. 1. Drayton Festival Theatre The 25th anniversary season kicks off with Legends of Rock ‘n’ Roll, which relives the discography that forever changed the landscape of modern music. Such influential acts as Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, The Beach Boys, Elton John, ABBA and Simon and Garfunkel are celebrated in this tribute to musical pioneers, from May 14 to June 6. The hilarious Norm Foster comedy Looking runs June 10 to 27. Answering a personal ad in the newspaper brings a foursome of singletons together at a local pub for a life-altering rendezvous. The heartwarming comedy Hilda’s Yard is on stage July 2

to 18. This Foster play follows empty-nesters who must bridge the generation gap when their grown children return home unexpectedly. The Drayton theatre celebrates 25 years with the classic Broadway musical comedy The Music Man. A con man’s swindle hits some wrong notes when he unexpectedly falls in love with the town librarian. By turns funny, warm, romantic and touching, The Music Man is “family entertainment at its best,” officials say. The production runs Aug. 5 to 29. Dunfield Theatre Cambridge The 2015 season commences with the classic family musi-

cal The Wizard of Oz. After a twister hits her Kansas farm, Dorothy Gale is transported somewhere over the rainbow and embarks on an epic journey to find her way home. This family production runs March 4 to 29. Next up is Monty Python’s Tony Award-winning musical comedy Spamalot, May 6 to 24. This tongue-in-cheek retelling of the classic tale of Camelot raises silliness to an art form as King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table embark on their infamous quest for the Holy Grail.

Teenager dies from injuries sustained in two-car crash MAPLETON - An area teenager has died as a result of injuries sustained in a two-vehicle collision here. Wellington OPP reported on Oct. 30 that Troy Lawrence, 17, of North Perth, had died from injuries sustained in the Oct. 26 crash, which occurred at the corner of Concession 8 and Sideroad 15 at around 11:23pm. Police say a 2001 Audi, driven by Lawrence, travelling west on Concession 8 collided with a 2008 Toyota that was travelling north on Sideroad 15. Both vehicles left the roadway and the Audi struck a hydro pole. The driver of the Toyota,

an 18-year-old woman from Mapleton, was taken to hospital by ambulance and a 15-year-old passenger, also from Mapleton, was airlifted to a hospital in Toronto. Both suffered non-life threatening injuries. Lawrence was airlifted to a Toronto hospital and later died from his injuries. A press release from the OPP stated the investigation is ongoing. The deceased was the son of Joe McLaughlin and Cindy McLaughlin (Lawrence) of Listowel, and Keith Brown and Johanna Lyell of Milton. A funeral service was held at the Harriston United Church on Nov. 3.

by Patrick Raftis PALMERSTON - High school students here will be able to take advantage of unique new courses, combining dramatic arts with English and hockey skills with geography, starting next fall. It’s all about keeping today’s students engaged, says principal Paul Richard. “These kids coming up have grown up with the ability to have endless experiences, multi-tasking online,” he notes. “We’ve got to address the idea that these kids can multi-task. “They don’t just want the same system that we’ve had for years, where they go from one class to another class and then lunch … they are far more able to integrate their knowledge and without that opportunity sometimes school looks less exciting than a lot of the things they can be doing outside of school. So there’s an attempt here to re-engage the learner.” The Arts Performance Project is a joint-credit course that will involve Grade 9 students spending time at the Drayton Festival Theatre, as well as in regular English classes. Through the program students will have a chance to develop artistic talents in theatre, music and/or dance. Students also will take part in a variety of workshops with industry professionals and community mentors. The Hockey Skills Development Program, also aimed at Grade 9 students, will combine up to five hours of week of onice sessions with professional instruction in the sport, while students earn both physical education and Canadian geography credits. Both programs will be part of a Specialist High Skills Major education pathway that allows students to focus their learning with specific career paths in mind. Richards says that doesn’t necessarily mean the program is designed to churn out stage stars or pro hockey players. “Our plan is not to put everybody into the NHL. Our plan is to introduce them to the business of sport and maybe they find a job in the area that they like,” he said. “You may not be the person who is shooting the goals, but maybe you’ll find a way to work in the business of sport.” Likewise, the drama/English program will offer insights in off-stage jobs, as well as per-

formance opportunities. Richard said Drayton Entertainment officials have advised him the technical side of the arts is an area that provides considerable employment. “There might be one person on the stage, but there might be six people off the stage, that have a job, that are connected to that performance,” he explained. The principal feels the approach will enhance student performance in the classroom, as well as the off-site learning environment. “If you have a student who really enjoys hockey, but doesn’t find school is maybe the most fun place to be, if this draws them into the academic environment and gives them a feeling that, at least in mornings, ‘I’m able to get through half the day and I can enjoy geography and I can enjoy hockey,’ then maybe they find their engagement will increase with the other programs in the afternoon.” Richard said the school is currently accepting applications, which are available on the Norwell website, to the programs. Parents attending a Grade 8 parent information night on Dec. 9 at 7pm at the school will be able to discuss the merits of both programs with school officials, Richard said.

BILL’S

He explained about 25 spaces will be available in both programs and both programs are co-educational. Spaces in the hockey skills course will be evenly divided between boys and girls. If the programs generate a waiting list, Richard said the school would try to accommodate more students next semester. “If I’m in the position that I have a whole bunch of kids apply and it’s a question of how I’m going to offer them all an opportunity, that’s the kind of challenge I look forward to,” he stated. Richard said the idea is for the joint-credit approach to be extended to higher grade levels in the future, so students who find it works for them will be able to continue right through to graduation. “We really want to make sure that what we’re trying to do is build a program that kind of connects with the students of today and we’re recognizing the world has kind of changed for the kids that are going to school now,” he said. “If engagement increases, statistically research says that their marks increase because they are more interested in school.” For more information visit the Norwell website at www. ugdsb.on.ca/norwell.

Long-serving Catholic Women’s League members recognized at ceremony DRAYTON - Recently the Catholic Women’s League (CWL) held an appreciation dinner and pinning ceremony for its longest-serving members. The event took place on Oct. 29 at the parish hall of the St. Martin of Tours Roman Catholic Church. Barbara Downey acted as master of ceremonies (MC) for the evening. The evening began with a welcome and a reading of the “Thanksgiving Prayer” from a 1985 bulletin when Father Bob Stainsby was the pastor. At one time, for several years, Father Stainsby served the local parishes of Drayton, Palmerston and Harriston. Eileen Downey had located the prayer out of her personal archives.

Winter Parking

It’s a start

A motion initiated by Mapleton Mayor Bruce Whale has worked its way through the committee system to obtain approval of Wellington County council. On Oct. 30, the county approved a recommendation to put the planning committee in charge of considering climate change impacts as they relate to the county. Such impacts can be expected to range from the obvious (adjusting the roads department budget to account for more extreme weather events) to more subtle (warmer temperatures supporting the rapid spread of invasive animal and plant species). It remains to be seen how effectively the next county council will handle a torch the existing council has passed them, but at least the county is moving toward joining the growing ranks of municipalities across Canada with climate change adaptation plans. The county’s move came just days before the Nov. 30 release of the fifth report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Among it’s numerous conclusions, the report indicates “Limiting climate change would require substantial and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions which, together with adaptation, can limit climate change risks.” It’s true whatever efforts Wellington County ultimately comes up with in terms of adaptation and remediation will be a mere a drop in the bucket in proportion to the global response needed to actually turn the tide, but it’s also true every full bucket is made up of countless individual drops. Perhaps it’s time more lower tier municipalities also begin to look seriously at the role they can play in reducing emissions and adapting to change. You really do have to start somewhere. Patrick Raftis

Pursuant to Township of Mapleton By-law 5000-05, Section 9.10, please take notice of the following prohibition: • No person shall park a vehicle upon a highway or on a municipal parking lot between the hours of 2 and 6 am of any day during the months of November, December, January, February and March of any year. ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTY PROVISIONS: Any person violating any provisions of this by-law is guilty of an offence and upon conviction shall be subject to a fine, pursuant to the provisions set out in Part II of the Provincial Offences Act.

fresh new faces and fresh new ideas, should think about some ways to increase voter participation. I can proudly say that 100% of our household cast their ballot, and I can also congratulate the township on making the election a fairly effortless event. Marking a ballot, putting it in an envelope, and leaving it in the mailbox to be picked up seems a very small demand on anyone’s time and effort. And the postage was already paid on the return envelope! The only thing easier would be online voting, but if someone can’t be bothered with a paper ballot, how much more likely is that person to take the time to go online and cast an electronic ballot? Coming on the heels of the two murders of Canadian soldiers, this election carried extra symbolic meaning. It’s too bad so few of my fellow citizens in Mapleton could be bothered to exercise a right defended to the death by our brave soldiers. Richard Giles, RR 1, Alma

Letter to the Editor Voter turnout ‘dismal’ Dear Editor: While congratulations are due the new mayor and council members of Mapleton, may I suggest that one of the first items on their agenda be the dismal voter turnout in the election? Figures from last week’s Wellington Advertiser place Mapleton results at 32.9% of eligible voters bothering to fill out and either mail or drop off their ballots. Only one in three of our citizens could be bothered to exercise the most fundamental action in a democracy! I am perplexed and more than a little shamed, and I suggest the incoming council address the issue. If my reading of the results is correct, Mapleton has the distinction of having the lowest participation rate of all Wellington municipalities and wards. Our neighbours in Minto, by contrast, managed a turnout of 55.2%, which appears to be the best rate in the whole of Wellington County. So perhaps this is an issue that the entire county needs to address, but I do think that Mapleton council, with its

Mapleton Business Profile Draytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studio Factor provides â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a safe place for messy ideasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; store. Products range from water colour paints, brushes and canvases, to crafts for all ages, quilling supplies and clay. The walls and shelves display various small pieces created by local artisans including handcrafted cards for special occasions. For the reader, a limited supply of Christian books and Bibles are available. Hirtle welcomes inquiries on commissioned art in various mediums. Her professional graphic designs are for promotional and print material, including logo design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important to develop an image that embodies your business or enterprise into a concise, recognizable visual. This visual quite often only gets a two second glance by your intended market. Businesses leave branding/imaging to the last minute with no forethought or budget,â&#x20AC;? Hirtle said. One example is the Leviâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand. The little red tag captured consumersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interest and is one memorable icon. Effective brand identity is important in any business. Classes taught by Hirtle run during the week. Currently offered are Watercolour Tuesdays, Acrylic Wednesdays and After School Art Thursdays. Home School art classes are on

A warm, welcoming, friendly atmosphere greets customers who walk through the door at Studio Factor in Drayton. Since 2009, Donna Hirtle has been establishing a creative niche in the community for artists and budding artists. Her branding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a safe place for messy ideasâ&#x20AC;? evolved from her desire to have an environment in the studio where students are not afraid to make a mess. Hirtle also relates this slogan to her personal walk as a Christian. Hirtle graduated with a BA with honours in Fine Art from the University of Guelph and continued her education in advertising and graphic design at Humber College. World Vision gave Hirtle the opportunity to grow along with the organization in developing a computer graphics program after graduation. Bank of Montreal (BMO), Wilfrid Laurier University, Copernicus Educational Products Inc., and Barefoot Creative have been outlets for her graphic designs. With support from her husband Peter, Studio Factor has been an integral part of the changing landscape in downtown Drayton. From humble beginnings, Studio Factor has expanded to include a retail

The start date for classes is Nov. 24 from 2 to 4pm with a nativity clay object as the focus of the class. Everyone is welcome to join.

Norwell seeks hosts for international students by Patrick Raftis PALMERSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Norwell District Secondary School is looking for families to host international students who would come to study at the school through a proposed new program â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to create an international student program at Norwell, where our building becomes a centre where students from around the world get a chance to go to school here,â&#x20AC;? said Norwell principal Paul Richard, adding similar programs are already operating at some Guelph schools. Richard said the international experience would benefit the local student population, as well as the visiting students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Already our kids are connected to the rest of the world

and we feel that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really, really important for them to connect a face with who they are communicating with and if I can put students from Germany or students from Switzerland or students from China into Norwell, I feel Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve at least given our students a chance to meet globally with people from around the world,â&#x20AC;? he explained Richard said any local residents interested in hosting an international student should attend the Norwell Parent Council meeting on Dec. 7 at 7pm at the school. Officials from Canada Home Stay, an organization that works with school boards to find appropriate homes for students in Canada, will be making a presentation.
