Township considers solar energy to reduce energy cost at four municipal buildings MAPLETON - Council here is considering installing solar panels at four township buildings to reduce the municipality’s energy cost having received a presentation from QPA Solar Inc. for information on Oct. 22. QPA Solar reviewed the township’s hydro bills from Hydro One and QPA Solar board director Marjan Stosic told council installing solar panels at the PMD Arena, the wastewater facility, Drayton firehall and the township office could save the municipality $3.3 million over the next 25 years. Based on QPA’s calculations, the township pays a total of $157,800 over a 12 month period, $90,000 at the arena and just less than $28,000 on the township office, almost $27,000 on the sewage lagoon and about $15, 400 at the fire hall. Currently the township pays 19.4 cents per kilowatt hour used at the PMD arena, 15.8 cents at the township office, 16.8 at the water and wastewater treatment plant and 15.3 cents at the Drayton firehall. “Please do not ask me why that is, it’s just one of those

mysteries. How does Hydro One do their pricing? Beats the hell out of us,” Stosic told council. Stosic provided a range of estimates of inflation from a ‘conservative’ three per cent per year over the next 25 years, the township would pay 37 cents per kilowatt-hour to the aggressive prediction of 55 cents. Installing solar panels at all four of the locations would drop the hydro costs to 10 cents per kilwatt-hour and it would remain at that price regardless of inflation. Net savings $3.3 million “Your net savings would be $3.3 million, your internal rate of return is 9.4% and your payback is around 10 years and the net value of that decision would be $1.3 million,” said Stosic. If council decided not to outfit all four buildings, Stosic said the company recommends the council could start with solar panels on the PMD arena, “because it’s a big enough facility by itself.” Following the presentation councillor Marlene Ottens asked whether the solar power would go into the grid or if it would be a direct benefit to the owner of the system.

“It’s net meter when we looked at your sites we right sized them. Power wise that’s the size because it goes through the, if you over-produce, it will go back to the grid and you are giving it for free? So the systems have been right sized for your load to what you use,” said Stosic. Ottens also voiced concerns over fire safety. “Most of our firefighters have taken courses on buildings with solar panels,” said Fire Chief Rick Richardson but he reinforced that there is a concern because solar panels are live. “Rapid shut down has become requirements, main disconnects have become the requirements,” said Stosic. “Did you do an analysis of the structural capabilities of the buildings to see if they can support the solar,” asked councillor Paul Douglas. Stosic said the structural engineer analysis is part of the project which would be done if the council approved the project. Douglas also asked about the efficiency of winter use. “It’s 12 months of rolling credits, so in June they are producing a lot, you are overproducing and you get credit for that and in January you

are producing very little so you are paying for that rolling 12 credit,” said Stosic. Councillor Michael Martin voiced his support for the idea. “I think it’s a fascinating idea and the project is certainly one I would be willing to take a look at a little closer in the new year once we have a better sense of our water and wastewater stuff that we are working on,” he said. Mayor Gregg Davidson agreed saying, “It is a project that would have to be budgeted for, but the long term savings certainly outweigh the short term payout.” Options QPA Solar is full service company that has provided engineering, installation, construction, operation and maintenance of solar panels since 2009. Among the options for the project provided to council were: - the company could build and install the solar panels for the township to own; - the company could build, install, own and maintain, selling the energy to the township; or - the company could participate in a joint venture with the township.

MAPLETON - Discussion over waiving the fees to rent out the PMD arena for fire events caused confusion in council on Oct. 22. Fire chief Rick Richardson presented a resolution to council asking to waive the $1,000 rental fee for an upcoming fire information night to be held in December and the reintroduction of the Fire Safety Day previously held annually in May. “Last year through some communication oversights [Fire Safety Day] didn’t happen, we would like to resurrect that through Safe Communities and through the fire department and invite all the grades 1s and 4s back there again but of course the cost of the arena is about $1,000 for the day those three items are ones we would like to see if we can get the fees waived,” said Richardson. “Because they are community events that we are doing for the community,” he added. His request caused confusion as many of the councillors were under the assumption that the council had already discussed the issue ahead of the budget and it was no longer a policy. “I am just surprised that we still charge the fire

department for these functions so I would be in support of waiving those fees year on year so that we don’t have to keep coming back to this issue to discuss it,” said councillor Paul Douglas. “The report actually brings up a point of clarity. I actually thought we had discussed this through the last year budgeting process and I thought we had decided we were not going to continue the process of robbing Peter to pay Paul type practice,” said councillor Michael Martin. “That is absolutely true we did have that discussion earlier that we wouldn’t have reports like this come forward to council, we had clarity that we are not going to have one department in the township charge another department in the township for the use of a facility,” Mayor Gregg Davidson confirmed. While Finance director John Morrison agreed that it seemed ineffective to move money between township departments, he argued that there needed to be a record of cost and who pays them is important. “I don’t believe that we should be getting money back and forth but a journal entry in to attribute the cost is appropriate. To say that the fire department doesn’t SEE RENTAL » 3

Darren’s Day funds used to enhance facilities PALMERSTON - The goal behind Darren’s Day 2019 was to honor the memory of Darren More and give back to the community he loved so much. Thanks to the support of friends, families and neighbors, approximately $2,000 was gifted to the Minto Minor Sports, Palmerston Marlins, Palmerston Lions and Crime Stoppers Guelph Wellington. Those funds have been invested into the community with some notable additions in Palmerston. The Town of Minto used the minor sports funds to overhaul the Lawrence Park ball diamond in Palmerston. Previously the site had smaller team benches without any added safety features. Thanks to Darren’s Day Funds, the diamond now has two new, larger team benches with safety screens and new bleachers for fans. “As an avid supporter of the Palmerston Marlins Fastball Club, Darren would be pleased to see a new safety net installed at the Marlin’s south diamond. The netting prevents foul balls from hit-

receive a charge means that recreation department does so who is going to get the charge?” said Morrison. However, Davidson disagreed. “I don’t personally think we need to have this resolution, I believe the resolution that we need to have a resolution, it would be that the old policy of one department charging another department for the use of facilities be abolished,” said Davidson. “Obviously the fire chief thought that he still needed to come forward and if that is the case then we need to make sure that all departments realize that they don’t need to,” said Davidson. Councillor Denis Craven, seconded by Douglas moved to defer the resolution so that staff could present a motion to change the policy around sharing resources.

GUEST COLUMN Crime Stoppers urges action during Woman Abuse Prevention Month By Sarah Bowers-Peter WELLINGTON COUNTY - It’s disheartening to know that violence against women has reached such a level that each year a month has been dedicated to creating awareness of this crime. Throughout November, you will hear several agencies, including Crime Stoppers Guelph Wellington, talking about Woman Abuse Prevention Month. For the next few weeks agencies such as Guelph Wellington Women In Crisis will draw attention to the need for awareness and to offer supports for those who may require assistance as victims of this crime. There are some rather profound statistics in relation to abuse of women. According to the Canadian Women’s Foundation, every six days a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner. About $7.4 billion goes into dealing with the aftermath of spousal violence alone. Women are not the only victims of this crime. When children are present, the impact on them is profound. Children who witness violence in the home have two times the rate of psychiatric

disorders as those in nonviolent homes. We also know abuse can be generational and these children may go on to abuse their partners later in life. These are just a handful of reasons why we want to draw attention to this crime. If you are aware of someone who is being abused, please let us know. You will be completely anonymous, and no one will know you contacted us, including the victim and the accused. You will help stop a crime that is costly to society and devastating to a family. To learn more about abuse against women and how you can get involved to help support agencies involved in supporting survivors, contact GWWIC or Victim Services Wellington. Both agencies are active in your community to provide the aid needed for women and families dealing with abuse. To stop the crime, call 1-800-222-TIPS or go to www. csgw.tips. For more information on CSGW, go to www.csgw. tips. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. Sarah Bowers-Peter is program coordinator for Crime Stoppers Guelph Wellington

By Pastor Mark McCready Alma Bible Church

The power of debt Years ago I was a business student at Laurier. I sat in my finance classes hoping to learn as much as I could, all with hopes of going out into the real world and using those tools. You could read between the lines and safely presume that I hoped I could find some easy way to make lots of money. I remember the day that our prof started talking about the stock market and buying “on margin”. There it was. Borrow money from someone else in order to buy stocks. When the market went up, you sell, pay off the loan, and the profit is yours. You were set as long as the market gave a higher return than the rate on the loan. But

there was the trick. You could never guarantee that. As anyone who had retirement savings in the stock market through 2007-2009 knows, the market doesn’t always go up. Sometimes it goes down and goes down hard. But there was my lesson. Debt had power. I learned this lesson with buying a home as well. Most people that I know don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars just sitting around so they can buy a home. They, like me, had to walk into a bank and make arrangements for a mortgage. In other words, debt. Buying a home is no simple matter and when housing prices for the most part are well over $300,000 it takes time to save. So debt is a powerful tool. It enables us to leverage and

buy stock to magnify the profits, and it allows us to get into a home when the prices seem out of reach. The problem is that most people don’t know when to use debt, and once determined, they also don’t know how much debt is enough or too much. In other words, there is a terrible downside to the power of debt. A recent article in the Financial Post took a look at some statistics released by Equifax, which shows us that personal debt per consumer not related to mortgages was in excess of $20,000. That is a lot of money. When I moved out on my own, I discovered that life was expensive. That while I had a job, furnishing an apartment and keeping a car on the road was not cheap. As a

SERVICES

young man I also had the bad habit of spending on lots of silly things. What I learned, though, was that debt was costly and not just the interest you had to pay. There is an emotional stress and burden that comes with having debt. I have met people over the years who have experienced a great deal of anxiety, worrying about how they are going to pay off their debts. Not only does anxiety run high, but tensions between married couples grow when debt builds up. Questions have to be answered, like what debt do you pay first, or where did the debt come from in the first place. These questions can lead to significant conflict in the family home. The Bible has a lot to say about debt. The Old Testament reveals that the Israel-

ites had laws about debt. One that I like is in reference to the year of Jubilee, a time when people would be set free, debts would be forgiven and particular attention was drawn to the mercies of God. But there is also lots of caution about debt in the Bible. One caution was concerning usury - loans at unfair and extremely high interest rates. I find myself drawn to Proverbs chapter 22 verse 7 where we read “The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.” (Proverbs 22:7). There is so much wisdom in that statement. Having been a borrower most of my life, I know the feeling of being “indebted” to people. Sadly some who lend out often lord their position over the borrower. You will hear some

people remind their friends “don’t forget... you owe me”. To hear those words is to live under the rule of another. I think what concerns me most about debt is that it represents an underlying problem of greed. Think about it. Debt is all about having now because we can’t seem to find the patience to save for it and buy it later. Think also about the things that we borrow for: luxury vehicles, travel vacations, updates on our home, etc. These aren’t really necessary things. But desire steps in, and we gamble on the future so we can indulge today. Take some time to consider the power of debt before you use your line of credit for that large purchase or charge that purchase on a Visa. Being free of debt is the better way to enjoy life.

communities of Clifford, Palmerston and Harriston. Thackary pointed out that although they have been on display in Harriston for six years, with very little or no repair work needed, the life expectancy of the banners is not known. “Weather conditions will decide that probably,” he commented. Each year when the banners are taken down, they are cleaned, dried and stored at the Legion. Later, after Christmas, they are displayed on the walls of the branch. In the local program’s inaugural year, “the Harriston Legion was fortunate to have four living veterans and all were able to view their banners outside on display,” said Thackary. The banners used locally are designed and supplied by an area company, Hanoverbased OnePromo. After the launch in Harriston, owner Dan Bailey said the company contacted other Legions across the country, and have

Other southwestern Ontario communities including Listowel, Howick, Port Hope, Clinton, Collingwood, Saugeen Shores, Elmira, Ripley, Mitchell, Blenheim and London now also line their streets with banners in memory of their veterans. While the Harriston Legion Salute a Veteran program recognizes the sacrifice made by many members of the community, Thackery notes media exposure and and OnePromo “took it one step further, to the next level, coast to coast.”
