Two accidents cause serious injuries MAPLETON - Two people sustained life threatening injuries in separate automobile accidents here early last week. On Oct. 30 at about 6:15pm emergency crews responded to a motor vehicle collision at the intersection of Wellington Roads 8 and 10, near Moorefield.
Police report a northbound SUV on Wellington Road 8 collided with a minivan that entered the intersection from Wellington Road 10. OPP, Mapleton Fire/ Rescue and GuelphWellington Paramedic Services attended the scene. The driver of the minivan, a 59-year-old man from
London, suffered life threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital. A passenger from the minivan suffered minor injuries and was released at hospital. The driver of the SUV, a 35-year-old female from Morris-Turnberry, was uninjured. SEE INJURIES Âť 2
MAPLETON – Local firefighters minimized damage in a potentially explosive situation when called to a fire at a local grain-drying operation last week. Firefighters from Drayton and Moorefield stations were called to a fire involving farm equipment at Wellington Road 8 near Sideroad 16 at around 11am on Nov. 1. Mapleton Fire Chief Rick Richardson said the proximity of a set of propane tanks to the blaze was an immediate concern for firefighters. happened “Something between the tractor and the dryer to spark it, which caught the building on fire, which was over top of the propane tanks,� said Richardson, who was at the nearby Mapleton administration centre when the call
came in. “I came out from the township building, saw the flames coming out and the three tanks together and I said ‘Oh my gosh, here we go,’� he recalled. “It wasn’t a tough fire to put out once we could get past the propane tanks. We
got them cooled down first and ‌ we shut the propane off and got the fire in the little building put out.� While no official damage estimate was available, Richardson said a tractor and truck near the dryer were destroyed and repairs to the dryer will be necessary.
Mapleton plans public meeting on cannabis legalization issues MAPLETON – Should retail marijuana sales be allowed in the township? Citizens here can have their say on local legalization issues at a public meeting on Nov. 22. Council set the date for the meeting, which will run from 7 to 9pm at the PMD arena, at the Oct. 30 meeting, after receiving a staff report from CAO Manny Baron. “The main decision that council needs to make is whether or not to allow retail stores,� said Baron. Recreational cannabis was legalized in Canada on Oct. 17. In Ontario, legal sales are currently allowed
only through the government’s online cannabis store. However physical retail outlets can be opened by licensed operators in April. Baron said he anticipates some handouts will be distributed and a “general overview of what the cannabis industry looks like� will be provided at the public meeting. “Our goal is to 100 per cent listen to what the attendees say and, I guess, help educate council on making appropriate decisions related to retail stores,� said Baron. He explained other issues surrounding legalization may be addressed at the meeting, but “the main decision is coming fairly quickly

and council does not have a lot of time to make that decision.� The province is requiring municipalities to decide by Jan. 22 if they will allow retail sales within their borders. However Baron noted in his report “if a municipality opts out, they will have a second opportunity to opt back in at a later date.� Councillor Lori Woodham asked if any clarification was provided on the question of whether municipalities opting out of retail sales will receive any of the funding designated to compensate for costs of implementing the new legislation. Baron’s report indicates the province is promising a
minimum of $10,000 to each municipality to help with any costs incurred. “You can read that two different ways,� Baron told council. “The way I read it is we will, regardless, receive revenue because even if we don’t open a store, the municipality as a whole would have to spend some money on bylaw enforcement as well as policing. So the way I read the comments and provincial guidelines is, we will receive it.� Councillor Michael Martin, who chaired the meeting in the absence of Mayor Neil Driscoll, asked how the municipality would deal with the “perceived contradiction� of marijua-

na smoking being legal “in many public spaces� but not allowed within specified distances of public facilities and some public spaces, such as playgrounds. “The province is saying you can smoke marijuana anywhere you can smoke a cigarette or vape,� replied Baron. “However, and this is probably part of the discussion at the open house, do we even take it a step further and, any municipality owned property, do we allow smoking on it, marijuana?� Baron pointed out the municipality could technically ban the smoking on municipal roadways. “If you look at Halifax, they banned smoking and
marijuana smoke essentially in the entire city,â€? he noted. “All those rules, then you have to enforce them. Who enforces all that?â€? wondered councillor Marlene Ottens. “What are you going to do at the arena if someone is smoking tobacco or marijuana in the arena, or outside of it, whether they’re nine metres (away) or not? Are you going to call the police every time? The more rules the more enforcement and I’m not sure how you get around that in a small town that doesn’t have its own police force.â€?

Injuries result from two accidents in Mapleton » FROM PAGE 1
Crash at Parker On Oct. 31 at about 1:12pm, emergency crews responded to a collision at the intersection of Wellington Roads 7 and 12 in the hamlet of Parker. Police say a sedan travelling north on Wellington Road 7 collided with a trans-
port truck that entered the intersection while travelling west on Wellington Road 12. The three occupants of the sedan - the 52-year-old female driver, a 29-year-old woman and a 1-year-old boy, all of Palmerston - were transported to a local hospital with injuries. The driver was then transferred to a trauma cen-
tre in life-threatening condition. Her condition was later updated to stable. The driver of the tractor trailer was not injured. Police continue to investigate the Oct. 31 crash and charges may be pending. Anyone that may have witnessed the collision can call 1-888-310-1122.

Wallenstein Feed planning expansion By Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – Township council has supported in principal an expansion proposal from Wallenstein Feed and Supply. On Oct. 30 council also directed township staff to proceed with discussions with company officials and report back to council as necessary. The company is proposing a number of changes to the existing site plan for its operation in the hamlet of Wallenstein. Proposed changes include: a new mill, new warehouse and relocation of fuel pumps and truck parking to land recently
Correction The date of the Drayton Rotary Club’s Mapleton’s Got Talent Show at the Drayton Festival Theatre was incorrectly reported in the Nov. 2 issue of the Community News.

purchased by the company. Plans also include a new storm water management reservoir and associated wastewater treatment and relocation of weigh scales. A letter from the company indicates the changes will be implemented in phases. The letter states a wastewater plan has made it past the technical review stage and the Grand River Conservation Authority has approved an environmental impact study. Company officials said county planners will address zoning issues and present a draft bylaw to council for consideration. Members of a delegation
from the company noted road studies completed by both the township and the company indicate reconstruction of Yatton Road will be required. Councillor Dennis Craven asked if council could do anything to help speed up the project. “Just get your staff to respond to us,” said Wallenstein Feed representative Sam Head. Councillor Lori Woodham said, “I just want to say thank you for coming and giving us a heads up.” Woodham noted the new council will soon be into budget deliberations and “this will give us more information to be proactive.”

MAPLETON – Township council is planning to work with the Drayton Rotary Club to install accessible washrooms at ABC Park. “Our next project - we just can’t sit still - we’d like to put a wheelchair accessible washroom in ABC park, just because now with all the extra people there (due to) the splash pad and also the playground, we just thought this is something that’s definitely needed,” Rotarian Lorrie Spaling told council on Oct. 30. Spaling said the club had been in touch with township staff, who were already helping the club obtain pricing on the project and looking into potential locations for the washroom at the park. In a letter to council, the club states the facility “will
be a benefit to all those using the park, not only as a washroom but also as a change room.” The letter states the club is proposing a 12-by-12 foot decorative cement block washroom with a cement floor, which would include a toilet, sink, fold down change table, sensor light and a small mechanical room. The club has applied to the Mapleton Park and
Recreation Advistory Committee for 50/50 funding and is starting some fundraising efforts this month. “We appreciate all the support we have had from the township and look forward to working with you again on this project that again adds value to our community,” the letter states. Council directed staff to investigate working with the club on the project.

EDITORIAL By Patrick Raftis
Time to reflect As we mark 100 years since the end of the First World War on Nov. 11, it’s worth noting that every year the world’s great global conflicts move further from the collective consciousness. My generation was fortunate to grow up without experiencing firsthand the horrors of a World War. Many members of today’s youngest generation will grow up without even having known a relative, neighbour or family friend who was a veteran of such a battle. While it’s worthy of celebration that we have gone so long without an all-out international conflict, it also makes it harder for many to fully appreciate the sacrifices they entail. Fortunately, thanks to Royal Canadian Legions across the country, Remembrance Day services are held in communities of all sizes throughout the land. These sombre affairs, focusing as they do on fallen heroes, serve as a stark reminder of why we say “never again” will we allow such devastation to befall us. In the Community News coverage area, the first of those services for 2018 was held on Nov. 4 at the cenotaph and community hall in Clifford. Local services still to come this week include: - Nov. 9, Norwell District Secondary School assembly, 10:30am; - Nov. 11, Palmerston - parade formation at 10am, march 10:30; - Nov. 11, Harriston Remembrance Day parade lineup will start at the Legion at 10:45am (wreath laying ceremony at the Legion following the parade); and - Nov. 11, Drayton Remembrance Day service at 2:30pm at the cenotaph; parade leaves from Legion at 2:15pm. After the service, a fellowship time will be held at the Legion. Spare some time to attend a service if you can, or, if you can’t take a few moments to reflect on the fortune and freedom we enjoy.
Winter maintenance - is your body ready for the season? By Sandy Turner Winter is coming. Do you have your car ready? Think of all the things you do to ensure your car gets you to and from work every day. From oil changes, topping up fluids and changing to winter tires, most of us may be treating our cars better than our bodies. Just think of how great you could feel if you put as much effort into making sure your body is in tip top
shape as you do your car. It doesn’t need to take hours a day, but think about the results you could get if you did some of this car maintenance to your body! One of the most important things we should be paying more attention to is body alignment. When your car is out of alignment it will wear your tires – think of joints (knee or hip) as our tires. If we consistently move with improper alignment, then

we are adding more wear and tear on our joints. This will cause our joints to be loaded ineffectively and lead to poor shock absorption, uneven weight distribution and pain. To avoid this, pay attention to the placement of your joints in your legs (hips, knees and ankles) and your feet (toes and heels) each time you walk, climb stairs or sit down. Think of a plumb line from your hip to the floor and keeping all three joints along that line as you move. This will take some practice. Also with each step, try to place your foot down heel then toe. Try not to waddle or limp when you walk as this will affect your alignment as well. It is more important to slow down and walk properly than to limp – your joints will thank you. Keep in mind, you may need to use a cane to accomplish this. Thinking of new tires for your car? Have you checked the treads on your footwear? Not only will the underside of your shoes tell you when it needs replacing but it can also tell you if your body is out of alignment. Are you noticing that the one side of the tread is showing more wear than the other? Not only should you have good, supportive footwear when being active, but

they need to be replaced regularly to ensure maximum support, comfort and shock absorption. Shoes may still “look” okay, but the supportive properties have been compromised. Depending on the amount of exercise, you should replace your shoes more often than you think. Watch for wear patterns and if you notice soreness in joints (that you didn’t notice before) it could be time to change up your shoes. Wearing shoes for exercise only will prolong their life and “old” shoes can still be worn for other activities. Do you warm up the engine before taking off? Well, this is also a good idea before we jump right into activity or exercise. Whenever you are going to participate in exercise, a good thing to try and do is ease into and out of the exercise. This is just simple doing the same or a similar activity but at a slower pace so the body can adjust, warm up and be prepared for the exercise. Afterwards, it is a good thing not to just throw on the brakes, but rather slow down your activity gradually for the last three to five minutes to allow your heart rate and blood pressure to return to normal. Finally, you should include stretching after all exercise. This will reward the muscles for the activity you just put them through. Doing this will also alleviate any pain you may feel later on or the next day from doing activity that you aren’t used to. It is also an important part of your overall alignment. When muscles are tight, they can affect our ability to maintain good alignment. What about rust control? Did you know that the best way to avoid seizing in our body is to exercise? By loading and unloading our joints we are nourishing the cartilage. Of course, we need to do this with control and proper alignment. Our bodies were made to move and it is important to build time into your regular routine for cardiovascular, strengthening and flexibility exercises. Sitting is now considered as bad for the body as smoking! Every time we stand up we are nourishing our joints. Make it a point to move more often throughout the day by limiting the amount of sitting you do at one time. Incorporating brisk walking four or more days a week and some strengthening exercises a couple times a week would be a great maintenance program.

With close to 50 people in attendance at the Clifford cenotaph, Harriston Legion Branch 296 Sergeant at Arms Ron Faulkner led the marching of the colours, followed by Legion members and members of the Clifford Firefighters Association. Pastor Jody Rinas offered the prayer of invocation. Trumpeter Judy Dirksen played the Last Post and Reveille, separated by two minutes of silence.

MAPLETON – Council here has approved a $440,000 tender for the construction of the Drayton Industrial Drive Phase II road extension. On Oct. 30 council approved a staff recommendation to accept the lowest bid within the approved capital budget allowance of $450,000 for the project. Public works director Sam Mattina stated there were three bids on the project, ranging from $440,145
from Kieswetter Excavating Inc. of St. Clements to $720,275 from Puslinch-based Prior Construction Corporation. Council approved awarding the contract for the project to the low bidder, Kieswetter Excavating. Mattina explained in an email all three bids were originally over the approved budget amount. However, when a provisional item, removal of topsoil from the site, was taken out of the contract, the Kieswetter bid fell within budget parameters.

CLASSIFIEDS Remembering by Mark Laird, DM Drayton United Church We set aside one day a year to remember. In a lot of ways it doesn’t seem like enough. There have been over 25,000 days since the end of WWII and there have been less than 80 Remembrance Days. It doesn’t seem like a very equal sharing of honouring what people were willing to give of themselves for safety, peace and justice. At least we do have this day, a day to honour, to remember, to lament. It is not a celebration; we don’t wish each other a happy Remembrance Day. We do not celebrate the fact that millions of people have died trying to fight and kill other people. We don’t celebrate the fact that there has been and continues to be oppression, greed, hatred and non equality. We lament that men, women, children died in wars that we wished had never happened in the first place. We remember so that we don’t forget, so the same mistakes are not made again, that history doesn’t repeat itself. We remember what it cost us as individuals, as the world. We remember, hoping and praying that we don’t have to pay that price again. War is not natural; it is not what we are called to do. If it was, when the men and women come home from war, they wouldn’t have nightmares, they wouldn’t be in shock, they wouldn’t need help processing what they
have seen and done. It isn’t natural, but it is something that we have made a part of our nature as humans. Peace is also not something that just happens; it is not something that we can just pray or wish for. We have to work at it. Sometimes that work is difficult and can require great sacrifice. I am grateful for all of those who have gone before me in this last century and 2,000 years ago, who stood up to oppression and stood up for justice, and tried to make peace. The real trick is finding a way to create peace before those sacrifices are considered necessary. How I feel we do that is by following these seemingly simple ideas: treating others how we wish to be treated, showing respect, and understanding that you, me and everyone else in this world is a child of God and treating them accordingly. We cannot have peace in our world if we do not first have peace in our own minds and souls. Peace begins with each and every one of us. On Sunday I will remember. I will remember those who have gone before me, giving all that they had so that we might find a better way. I will remember that a better way doesn’t just happen, it is something that I also have to work for. I will remember that everyone I see deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, that division will not bring peace. It is love that we must not forget.

HARRISTON – The Grey Wellington Theatre Guild (GWTG) is set to bring a venerable Christmas treasure to life on the local stage. The guild is staging Miracle on 34th Street, The Play. Adapted from the novel by Valentine Davies, the stage version is based upon the classic 1934 Twentieth Century Fox motion picture Miracle on 34th Street. However, the guild has updated the show to a modern setting. “I felt audiences today could relate to the show better in a contemporary setting. The story itself is timeless,” said director Peggy Raftis. The action in Miracle on 34th Street centres around a department store Santa named Kris Kringle, played by John Hogg of Harriston, who surprises customers and employees alike by claiming that he really is Santa Claus. The claim sparks a controversy that leads to a court case to determine his state of mind, and the authenticity of his contention. The play combines a tale of romance with a story of faith and hope. Raftis has assembled a cast of 35 actors, singers, dancers and musicians for the show, with performers hailing from Harriston, Palmerston, Clifford, Listowel, Fordwich, Bluevale, Wroxeter, Owen Sound, Mount Forest and Drayton areas.
