Club seeks improved communication with council Beehive Park property to be sold MAPLETON Alma Optimist Club representatives attended council’s Nov. 26 meeting to present a financial review of the Alma Community Centre (ACC), but discussion focused on recent rumours the township would be assuming control of the ACC next year. Club representatives Bruce Whale and Amanda Reid asked council for improved communication between the club and the township moving forward. “What is not needed are the rumours and comments to some of our members that were circulating earlier this year suggesting that our operating agreement was invalid and that the municipality would be assuming control of the operations of the ACC next year,� the report to council read. “Such an approach creates mistrust and apprehension and makes the Optimist Club members feel unappreciated and unwanted.� Councillor Michael Martin commended the Optimist Club for being direct in voicing its concern in the report. “It’s not often that there’s a little bit of sass in a report like that, but I enjoy it because it’s very direct,� said Martin.

“I think during my time here on council, it’s always been the communication ... specific to the community operating committee or whatever regarding that building. So it certainly seems that the past year or two, that’s gotten a lot better.� Whale agreed, noting there has been an improvement in communication with the township since CAO Manny Baron was hired in January of 2018. “At the time you realize that the Optimists own the ballpark, we own the skating rink in Alma and we operate the hall and yet, there was no communication at all other than these rumours that were going around,� said Whale. “And people were getting pretty upset ... asking us if we knew and nobody really approached us. So that’s why I wanted to bring it to your attention.� Mayor Gregg Davidson stated communication with the club is very important to council. He also volunteered to take part in more meetings with the club in the future. “Very important that we do have that communication in mind,� said Davidson. “I was happy to join the last meeting and sitting around there and look forward to more meetings that are coming up whenever you have them. I don’t mind com-

ing out to those meetings and sitting down to make sure we have that relationship and have a conversation continually.� LED lighting Whale also voiced concern about approved funding in the township’s capital budget to install LED lighting at the ACC. The Optimist Club has two outstanding requests for capital projects: retrofit to LED bulbs and repainting of the interior hall, foyers and washrooms. “In reading through the agenda, I was looking for the budget and couldn’t seem to find the whole budget. But I did notice that the Alma Hall, we have $5,000 allocated last year for the lighting upgrade. I don’t see anything in this year’s budget,� said Whale. Once the lighting is installed, Whale said the club will see a return on the investment in under two years. “In 1.2, 1.3 years we get our money back if we upgrade to the LEDs,� said Whale. Public works director Sam Mattina clarified, “That is in the 2019 budget. It is being worked on in the background. And so the money is still there. It just doesn’t show on the 2020 going forward forecast that ... you saw, but it is still in place for 2019 and will be utilized.�

By Patrick Raftis MINTO – Town council has agreed to put Beehive Park up for sale. The park, located on Wellington Road 109 between Harriston and Teviotdale, was the site of a one-room schoolhouse until the mid1960s. It was operated as a roadside rest stop by the provincial Ministry of Transportation (MTO) for many years after the school closed. In 2000, after the local portion of Highway 9 was downloaded from the prov-

ince to the county, the newlyamalgamated Town of Minto purchased the property for $1 and continued to operate it as a roadside rest stop and picnic area. A staff report presented to council on Dec. 3 estimates it costs the town about $2,500 annually to maintain the park, including expenses such as grass cutting, a portable washroom, staff time and supplies. However, in recent years, Minto staff have expressed concern about misuse of the park. “In the last eight years,

staff has reported many incidents of excessive garbage being left at the site and there are concerns the area is not being used solely as a picnic site and rest area,â€? states the report from facilities manager Al Carr. “Full bags of trash, strollers and furniture have been left at the site in 2019.â€? Carr recommended closing the area to the public and investigating the sale of the property. “This option would save the town maintenance costs and would encourage the SEE MINTO Âť 3

travelling public to stop ‘downtown’ to support our local businesses,” notes Carr. A second option presented in the report was installation of fencing and gates at the site, at a cost of around $8,000, to make it a seasonal stop, minimizing work needed in the winter. “The Town of Minto would save money on annual maintenance, grass cutting and portable washroom costs if the property is sold. We would also gain the onetime revenue through the sale, to be put in recreation reserves,” the report states. Councillor Judy Dirksen said she believes the park is well used and opposed the idea of selling it. “I feel like we’re maybe caving to a few bad eggs and allowing them to spoil a

area could provide an opportunity for trucks to stop and people to have a picnic. Harrow pointed out there are also MTO-run rest stops at Greenbush and on Highway 23, just a few kilometres from Beehive Park. “There’s lots of options if people want to stay in the country and have that country feel that are not a burden on our taxpayers to maintain,” he stated. “We put a lot of money into our downtowns and Tannery Park and those areas and we really want people to stop in those areas and have their rest.” Council declared the land surplus and directed staff to provide public notices of the proposed sale. The motion passed with just Dirksen opposed. Mayor George Bridge was absent.

In addition to being used by people having picnics “who have obviously planned to stop there,” Dirksen noted, “There’s room for a truck there, so I think there’s a safety aspect … people are taking a rest so that’s good.” She pointed out OPP officers often park at the location “so it also slows the traffic on 109.” Dirksen added, “I realize there’s a cost to it and there’s been some vandalism-type activity there, but I mean if we use that as a basis then we wouldn’t be doing anything in Minto because there’s vandalism everywhere.” Acting CAO Chris Harrow told council the Harriston arena grounds and pavilion

EDITORIAL By Patrick Raftis

Climate not-to-do list In the wake of an auditor general’s report stating the provincial government’s climate plan isn’t based on “sound evidence,” lacks detail and is unlikely to meet its own emissions reduction targets, Ontario’s Minister of Environment Jeff Yurek’s first reaction was to hit the spin cycle. Initially calling the report a “draft” that would “evolve” in effort to meet targets, the minister later basically conceded the Conservative government “has remained silent on the climate change initiative” and pledged they would be “listening to anyone who has an idea going forward.” So in the spirit of cooperation that has been the hallmark of Premier Doug Ford’s time in office, here’s a few off the top of my head: - don’t scrap a cap and trade deal that brought in $1.9 million a year while mitigating the impact of climate change; - don’t spend $230 million scrapping active renewable energy projects, especially since you promised they would be cancelled without cost to taxpayers and you included the anticipated environmental benefits from those projects in your climate plan; - don’t count on a massive switch to electric vehicles by 2030 while removing every incentive for consumers to switch or the private sector to provide charging infrastructure; - don’t spend $30 million on court battles fighting the federal carbon tax, which only came into effect in Ontario because you scrapped cap and trade; and - don’t spend money forcing private gas station operators to install “stickers” bearing misleading information on carbon tax costs (and no information on consumer rebates or benefits), especially if you can’t make them stick! Of course, it’s too late to stop any of these counterproductive initiatives, as we’re already well down the road on all of them. Also, Yurek made clear any ideas the government would consider must be “conservative-based,” which means, in all likelihood, more lip service, less action.

Silver Stick champions - The Minto Juveniles won the Regional Silver Stick tournament in Lucknow on Dec. 6 and 7. The team beat Central Perth 3-1 in its first game, edged Hanover on the strength of shutout goaltending by Zach Harrow in game 2, and blanked Honeywood 3-0 in the third contest. Minto beat South Bruce 5-2 in the final contest. Coach Lee Mullin said the team’s powerplay provided a couple of goals in the final game “and our speed game took control.” The team has earned a berth in the International Silverstick tournament on Jan. 2 in Mooretown.

born. I often hear about how Christmas was set up to be celebrated on Dec. 25 to match up with pagan festivals surrounding the winter solstice. It is known that in the first 300 years following the death of Jesus there was a festival called Saturnalia in honour of the god Saturn. There is no doubt in my mind that there is a connection between that festival and Christmas. It is likely that followers of Jesus chose that time to celebrate as an alternative to Saturnalia which they saw as a very pagan event. To suggest however that there is no connection at all to Dec. 25 outside of coinciding with Saturnalia would be shortsighted. In fact there was a man named Hyppolytus who lived around the end of the 2nd Century and into the 3rd who claimed that Jesus was born on Dec. 25. There was also a man named Cyril of Jerusalem (348 A.D. - 386 A.D.) who had access to the original Roman birth census, which supposedly documented that Jesus was born on Dec. 25. So the 25th of December was not at all random. Yet despite all of this information, there is not sufficient evidence to say for sure either way. We do need to be clear on one thing: just because we don’t have an exact date of Jesus birth does not mean that Jesus did not exist. In fact, knowledge of Jesus’ exact date of birth has little bearing on the reality of His existence or on why He came. What we do know is that more has been written, more evidence has been found, concerning the person of Jesus than just about any other person in history. The Biblical record is pretty solid and from this author’s opinion is impossible to refute. It is very interesting that though we do not know the exact date of Jesus’ birth, the Bible makes an incredible statement about the timing: “But when the fullness of the time came, God sent

‘Good news of great joy for all, for you!’

forth His Son, born of a woman...” (Galatians 4:4). People have often reflected on this verse. Those words “the fullness of time” are pretty significant. The fullness of time is not just a long wait. In fact we could paraphrase it to say “just the right time”. Jesus was born at a perfect time in world history. Jesus was born at a time when the Roman Empire was at its peak. The world was experiencing what is often called the Pax Romana. A good part of the known world at the time was under one government. In addition to that, culturally the Greek way of life had spread far and wide. The Greek language was well known throughout the Roman Empire. These factors made it an ideal time for information about the Messiah to spread easily more so than any previous time in world history. But what often gets lost when discussing the timing of Jesus’ birth is the longing and the need for hope. While there was relative peace, the Jewish people, God’s people, were experiencing a terrible oppression. They were an “occupied” people, and as in many other time periods they tragically were a hated people. As a result they longed for the Messiah, the Christ to come and rescue them. They longed for hope. It was in the midst of all of this, that Jesus was born. With the cruelty of Rome looming over Palestine, the people of Israel living in desperation, Jesus entered into this world at a perfect time, when people were ready to receive Him, but also a time when news about Him could spread and the whole world could know that Jesus had come to offer salvation to all. The world has changed a great deal since Jesus was born over 2,000 years ago. Yet in some ways the world has not changed at all. People all around the world are in need of hope. People live under oppression, are bound by terrible addictions, and bear enormous guilt over the wrongs they have done. The world is still very much in need of hope. Christmas has become many things. I think of egg nog, gifts, Christmas lights, decorated trees, and lots and lots of food. But to limit Christmas to those things would miss the truth behind it all. While we can’t be sure the 25th of December is exactly right, it seems like as good as any day to remember that Jesus was born and came into this world bringing hope and salvation to all who would receive Him. Now that is something worth reflecting on.

Town grants extension on permit requirement for planned cannabis facility By Patrick Raftis

MINTO – Krosinski Enterprises has been granted a second extension on a deadline to obtain a building permit for a planned marijuana production facility in the Palmerston Industrial Park. In July of 2017, town council approved an offer from Jack Krosinski of Krosinski Enterprises Ltd. to purchase 15 acres in the park for a medical cannabis production facility and, “as the law permits,” recreational cannabis. Krosinski paid the full asking price of $15,000 per acre and was also granted first refusal on an additional three acres for possible future expansion. The original agreement required the purchaser to obtain a building permit within one year of the closing of the sale for a structure covering 15% of the lot. On Sept. 18, 2018 council granted a one-year extension on that provision. Last week, at its Aug. 6 meeting, council received

a letter from Krosinski indicating that on May 2, Health Canada issued Krosinski Enterprises Ltd. a Confirmation of Readiness (CoR) letter for the Palmerston Cannabis Cultivation and Processing Facility, confirming the company had requirements for licensing based on submitted facility plans. However, on June 14, Health Canada unveiled its latest set of regulations pertaining to the manufacturing and distribution of cannabis derived edibles, concentrates and topicals. “Somewhat unexpectedly, the integration of secondary product processing under the unveiled regulations came with new technical provisions that now call for major design changes to the facility,” explained Krosinski in his letter. “These redesigns, due to the new and onerous regulatory burdens, take a great amount of time, coordination and additional capital SEE CANNABIS » 3

Minto turning arena concession booths over to private operator MINTO – Town council will turn operation of money-losing arena concession booths in Harriston and Palmerston over to a private operator for the coming winter season, despite the objections of one councillor. The town currently operates concession booths in the lobby of both the Harriston and Palmerston arenas. The Clifford Recreation Association operates the town-owned concession booth at the Clifford Arena as part of its fundraising program. In 2016 operation of booths in Harriston and Palmerston was offered at no charge to community service clubs, sports groups and businesses, explained recreation services manager Matt Lubbers in a report presented at the Aug. 7 council meeting. “There was no interest at

that time and they continued to be town-operated at a deficit,” the report states. Lubbers explained that Shawn Weppler, a local caterer and operator of BBQ Bite in Clifford, has expressed interest in operating the booths and town-owned vending machines this upcoming ice season. The proposed agreement is for one season, September to March, and contains an opt-out clause for both parties in November of 2019 as well as a carryover clause for future ice seasons. Under the agreement, the operator would pay no rent and the town would cover capital equipment and appliance replacement as well as heat and hydro costs. Lubbers predicted utility costs would be minor and said the existing equipment is in good condition and unlikely to need replacement. The report notes similar

agreement are in place with businesses in some neighboring municipalities, while others with new facilities do not provide concession services, strictly vending machines. Lubbers said the Steve Kerr Memorial Complex in Listowel, which opened in 2017, does not contain townoperated concessions as the municipality of North Perth “identified it as something they didn’t want to support through tax dollars.” Councillor Mark MacKenzie questioned the town’s pricing practices and said he would like to see the municipality take a closer look at why the booths were losing money. “The last two years we’ve lost thousands of dollars. I’m just talking on product. It’s impossible to buy $13,000 worth of product and only get $14,800 out of it in revenue. That’s unheard of,” said MacKenzie . “What’s happening here?

It doesn’t makes sense to me and to just wash your hands and give it up, let somebody else come in ... Nine or 10 per cent profit on a product is ridiculous; you should be making 100 or 200,” MacKenzie continued. “You want to aim for about 100 per cent markup on certain items,” Lubbers agreed, noting “a lot of our expenses are in staff wages.” While pointing out “we’ve looked at it as providing a service in the past,” Lubbers said the town is not receiving enough income to cover the product costs and staff wages. In regard to the figures cited by MacKenzie, Lubbers said he would like to go back over the general ledger to ensure everything expensed to the concession booths was actually booth supplies. He noted the town often purchases large amounts of soft drinks, but most of that is fused with town-operated

liquor licensed events. Councillor Dave Turton pointed out the issue has been discussed at the committee level over the past few years. “The one in Clifford, I’m not sure how much they’re making, but it definitely is all volunteer (labour),” said Turton. “I agree with what you’re saying, Matt. Wages are a big thing, I know that we’ve talked about this and I know that we’re offering a service to our people in the community and here we’ve got a guy coming forward to say that he wants to give it a shot … He’s a business guy. Maybe he’s got some strategies that we haven’t thought of,” said Turton. Mayor George Bridge agreed with the idea of letting a private operator try and make the concessions work. “Otherwise we close them down and we put the

machines in. I mean that’s the other option, you know. We’ve done this for four years and made no money,” Bridge stated. Councillor Ron Elliott said the booth business has never paid off for municipalities, either before or after amalgamation. However, he said, over the years he’s seen some private operators be able to turn a profit. “It seems when it’s a community running it, we can’t make any money on it,” Elliott stated. MacKenzie proposed a motion to defer a decision on the proposal pending further review of concession operations. However, the motion was not seconded. A resolution to proceed with the agreement with Weppler was approved with Bridge, Turton, Elliott and councillors Geoff Gunson, Judy Dirksen and Jean Anderson in favour and Mackenzie opposed.

Winter Parking

The Township of Mapleton’s Public Works Department works hard to ensure safe driving conditions on Township roads. During the winter months, we provide snow removal services on certain Township roads.

For this reason, on-street parking is prohibited between 2:00 - 6:00 a.m. from November 1st to March 31st as per Township By-law No. 5000-05, Section 9.10.

• Avoid shoveling / plowing snow onto streets or across municipal roads to far side ditches, this is a Provincial Offence under the Highway Traffic Act • Keep snow piles low to avoid obstructing visibility of pedestrians and drivers • Do not park on the street overnight in the winter months

Keep it Clear

Try to clear snow and ice to make a wide enough perimeter around your fire hydrant for firefighters to work (about 3ft) including a path from the hydrant to the street.
