After the parade, Santa set up shop beside K.A. Hammond’s to meet local youngsters. More parade photos on pages 7 and 8. photo by Patrick Raftis

Jury finds Galbraith guilty of fraud in Pigeon King International scheme by Chris Daponte KITCHENER - Pigeon King International (PKI) owner Arlan Galbraith has been found guilty of fraud in connection with a pigeon breeding scheme that bilked area farmers out of millions of dollars. Galbraith was placed in jail following the Dec. 6 jury decision and will return to court, likely next month, for sentencing. Prosecutors are seeking a nine-year prison term.

Galbraith, 66, was expected back in court on Dec. 12 to set a date for sentencing and to possibly argue for his release on bail until the sentencing (the result of the appearance was not known by press deadline). Former PKI salesman Bill Top declined to comment on the guilty verdict when reached by the Community News on Dec. 9. “I’m not giving interviews,” said Top, a former

by Meagan Leonard MAPLETON - Funding capital projects in the coming year may be difficult due to additional cutbacks from the province, Mapleton council heard on Nov. 26. CAO Patty Sinnamon told council to expect a reduction of $189,000 in funding through the province’s Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF), which may result in a reduction in the service level the township is able to provide. The cuts are in addition to an $85,000 cut in OMPF funding to the municipality in 2013, bringing Mapleton’s anticipated share of the OMPF allocation for 2014 down to $1,049,900.

Public works update Four bridges in Mapleton Township received muchneeded structural repairs in 2013, public works director Larry Lynch told council on Nov. 26. He also recommended guardrails be constructed on two additional bridges located on Wellington Road 11 due to dangerous drops on either side of the road. Lynch said the 100m of guardrail required could easily be installed this year, increasing safety during the winter driving season. The initial bridge repair project was completed $155,000 under budget. Council received the proposal for information, but has

Mapleton Township resident who resigned from the company in 2006. Now living in Alberta, Top was one of several former employees to testify against PKI and Galbraith during the four-week trial. Top testified that he quit Pigeon King amid concern that there was no end market for the pigeons being sold by the company to customers throughout Canada and the U.S.

yet to decide if the surplus will be spent on further restoration or be added to the 2014 budget. Wind Turbine Construction of a single 0.5 megawatt turbine wind farm may soon be given the go ahead Mapleton council heard on Nov 26. The closest neighbour to the planning site at Lot 2, Concession 13 is 700 metres away, well beyond the required distance, said CAO Patty Sinnamon. A final draft agreement will be presented to council following the creation of a development and road access agreement with the township and final approval from the Ministry of Environment, she said.

CTV reported that during cross examination Top told Galbraith, who represented himself in the case, that PKI was “a corrupt business” and Top “did the right thing by stepping down.” PKI, which employed about 50 people and had offices in Moorefield and Waterloo, declared bankruptcy in 2008, leaving hundreds of thousands of pigeons in limbo (the province spent at least $100,000 for the gassing of about 175,000 pigeons) and some inves tors wondering if they would lose their farms. PKI had several holding barns throughout central and northern Wellington County, and would charge independent breeders up to $500 for a pair of breeding pigeons in return for a guarantee to buy back all their offspring for five or 10 years at about $50 each. Mapleton’s Ron Bults, whose wife Christine testified against Galbraith and PKI, also declined to comment when reached by the Community News on Dec. 9. Metro News reported Christine Bults testified on Nov. 12 that she and her husband got a loan in 2005 for $125,000 to buy breeding pigeons from Galbraith and

to renovate a barn on their Drayton-area farm. When the business collapsed in 2008, the Bults’ still owed about $86,000 and were left with 3,000 pigeons, Metro News reported. Many PKI investors reported similar stories of buying 200 pairs of pigeons or more at a time, for a total investment upwards of $100,000, and transforming parts of their farm operation in order to breed pigeons. Bankruptcy documents filed by PKI indicated seven of 12 Canadian barns rented by PKI were located within Wellington County, as were the homes of at least 12 employees. The documents showed total PKI liabilities based in the county (for breeders and rented barns) were over $1.3-million. Overall, the PKI bankruptcy left hundreds of farmers in Canada and the U.S. with estimated losses of upwards of $20 million - not to mention flocks of worthless pigeons. A forensic accountant examined contracts after the bankruptcy and estimated PKI had $357 million in obligations to existing breeders. In an email to the Community News, Crime Busters Now president David

BILL’S

Thornton said he felt his website had to act in 2006 to stop Galbraith and PKI. “I could see that at the rate Galbraith was going and the support he had behind him, he could easily destroy not only the North American farm community, but Europe and Asia as well, where he was planning to go next in his dream to become the world’s largest pigeon producer,” wrote Thornton, who was among the first to warn others of the alleged pyramid or Ponzi scheme. Galbraith originally offered pigeons for racing but later changed his business model. He often claimed, as he did on the PKI website, the goal was to “offer quality squab at a very affordable price on a massive scale,” which he said had never been done before. When PKI filed for bankruptcy in 2008 Galbraith sent a letter to breeders claiming the move was motivated by several economic factors and a “spiteful campaign” organized by his critics. Galbraith took the latter claim to new heights during the trial, during which he was repeatedly advised by a judge to get a lawyer. Yet Galbraith continued on Continued on page 2

Community holds on for upset win over Drayton COMMUNITY 3 DRAYTON 2 Both teams skated hard into this game, but Drayton was rewarded with a goal late in the first period. Herman Mulder and Pat Landman worked the puck around the net and Rob DeWeerd finished the play. That goal held until late in the second when Community tied the game. Terry Horst blasted a shot from the point and Kevin Gingrich knifed the rebound into the net. Community took the lead early in the third. Kyle Roes fed the puck to Joe Clemmer, who drove to the net and slipped a shot into the top corner. Drayton came back to tie the game in the next shift. Rich Robous feathered a pass back to Robyn Curry, who blasted a slap shot into the net. A scramble at the net resulted in a quick shot and a goal by Community’s Sam Bauman. Tony Martin assisted.

MISSIONARY 4 LISTOWEL 2 Listowel scored the only goal in the first period with a rush in the final minute. Josh Shantz sent Mike Gingrich skating with the puck along the right boards. Gingrich cut to the net and snapped a rising wrist shot into the far corner. Missionary tied the game with a power play late in the second. Matt Burnett set up Scott Vandepas, who sent the puck into the webbing with a backhand. Listowel took the lead again early in the third with a scramble at the net. Mark Hockley worked the puck back towards the blue line to Lowell Weber. Weber drifted towards centre and snapped the puck into the opposite corner. Missionary came back with two goals to take the lead. Vandepas skated the puck behind the net and tied the game with a wrap around. Less than

FROM FRONT PAGE his own, often in a bizarre manner, and repeatedly suggested at least one media outlet, the “Amish mafia” and the poultry industry were among those conspiring against him and his business. In the end, however, a jury agreed with the prosecution and several of its witnesses, who stated there was no legitimate end market for the pigeons. Despite that fact, Galbraith billed himself as a family man and touted his pigeon breeding company as a way to “save”

family farms that were in financial trouble, Top previously told the Community News. Top said he quit his PKI position as a U.S. salesman in February of 2006 after he be came suspicious about the abnormal growth of the company and its number of breeders. After repeated at tempts to get an answer from Galbraith, Top said his boss finally came clean. “I sat down with Arlan one day and he actually said, ‘I’m in the business of selling breeders,’” Top said in 2008.

VON aims to increase awareness of meal service MOUNT FOREST - Meals on Wheels has been operating in Wellington County for many years, but volunteers and staff at the VON are hoping to raise awareness of the service for seniors. Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver hot, nourishing meals to people unable to shop or cook. The meals are prepared in government-inspected kitchens under contracts between VON and commercial caterers or institutional kitchens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program would not be successful without the support of our Volunteer Drivers,â&#x20AC;? states Colleen Lucas, volunteer co-ordinator for VON Peel Waterloo Wellington Dufferin region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Staff at the VON had the chance to sit down recently with drivers in Drayton, Harriston, and Palmerston to say thank you for delivering the hot meals daily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These drivers and others covering Wellington County know first hand the benefit it has for seniors who are isolated in their home, the driver is sometimes their only contact that day.â&#x20AC;?

EDITORIAL

Christmas spirit abounds The Christmas spirit was very much in evidence throughout Mapleton and area this past weekend. With Santa Claus parades in Drayton, Moorefield and neighbouring Palmerston drawing healthy crowds to area downtowns, it’s easy to see local residents are eager to celebrate and share in the season. While there are bigger parades in larger communities, there’s nothing quite as special for local youngsters as attending their hometown parade and associated activities each Christmas. It’s the stuff great memories are made of. That said, those organizations that take the lead in organizing local Santa Claus parades, the Optimists in Moorefield and local firefighters in Drayton and Palmerston, are deserving of accolades from their respective communities. In addition to adding to the festivities of the Christmas season, the parades also bring crowds down town and provide local residents with the opportunity to celebrate as a community. For those who weren’t able to make it out last weekend, Mapleton will be the scene of one more Christmas parade in Alma on Dec. 22 at 2pm. That parade, hosted by the Alma Optimist Club, is traditionally the last of the season in Wellington County. The Christmas season also provides a reminder of the important role that local organizations play in ensuring a merry Christmas is possible for everyone. Donations to the Drayton Community Food Bank were accepted at parade locations and can still be dropped off at the Drayton Foodmarket, Drayton Reformed Church, RBC branches in Drayton and Moorefield, and the Mapleton Township administration centre. In addition, the Drayton Kinette Club, which was recently re-established in the community, is conducting a toy drive and inviting citizens to drop off new, unwrapped toys at Dobben’s Hardware, Marspan Home Hardware or Fears Bibs ‘n’ Cribs by Dec. 18 for donations to area children. It seems at this time of year Christmas spirit and community spirit become very much intertwined, to the benefit of all concerned. Patrick Raftis

Letter to the Editor Heartening efforts Dear Editor: The Nov. 29 issue of The Community News contained two items worth mentioning and certainly worth praising. First, the generous gift of $100,000 from NextEra to Trees for Mapleton shows, to me at least, that the company is keeping its word regarding its role in our community. That money will plant quite a few trees and anyone who lives in or drives through our township will know that we do indeed need quite a few (more) trees. I applaud NextEra and Trees for Mapleton and, on behalf of generations of Mapletonians to come, I say thank you. Second, the County of Wellington’s 2014 calendar was included with the same issue of The Community News. I read it from cover to cover,

and am happy to see how much solid waste and hazardous material are being diverted from our landfills. I commend the county for its efforts and urge all readers of this paper to participate fully in the recycling programs available today. I hope that eventually all material will be recyclable and that all residents will strive to reduce their waste to zero. With this handy calendar as a guide, there is no reason anyone in our county should send recyclable material to the dump. It is heartening to see these efforts on behalf of our environment, and I hope readers will respond by planting a tree or two and recycling more and more. Richard Giles, RR1, Alma

PALMERSTON - It has been a little over a year since owner/pharmacist Sherif Hanna opened the doors to The Prescription Shoppe and The Fashion Shoppe. The success and good reception from the community has been overwhelmingly positive and has spurred Hanna on to offer the best services possible. Building on that success, they have recently added and opened The Script Café, resulting in “three great shops in one great location.” The Script Café is a gathering place for people to converse and enjoy delicious home cooked meals, pastries and baked goodies. With a subtle but not pretentious décor, The Script Café is an excellent choice, especially for those looking to dine out without sacrificing a healthy lifestyle or who have special dietary require-

The bright, attractive lighting, modern interior design and a welcoming atmosphere all contribute to the sense this is no ordinary trip to fill a prescription. “It’s very exciting to be able to develop this business venture,” says Hanna, adding The Script Café is just another way to inspire residents to shop and dine local. He also hopes it will inspire other Palmerston businesses and entrepreneurs to take a second look at Palmerston’s potential. He is also quite pleased they contribute by offering local employment.

From all of us

to you

Local family health team offers recipe for healthy, happy holidays by Sandy Turner MAPLETON - It’s that time of year again and if you have made it to the mall you have probably seen the stress this time of year can sometimes bring. You have also most likely tasted some of the holiday goodies. Gingerbread latte anyone? Here are our top ten tips to help you stay happy and healthy this holiday season: 1. Eat breakfast every day. A healthy start to the day will help prevent grabbing the donuts, muffins and other treats that tend to be around the office this time of year. 2. Think “portions.” Try using a smaller plate at the next buffet or potluck. It will help you decrease your portions without even realizing it. 3. Eat slowly and stop when you are no longer hungry (not full). Move away from the food table, ask the server to pack up leftovers, or get rid of your plate to help prevent eating just because the food is there. 4. Enjoy your favourite holiday treats guilt free. It’s easy to go overboard with the

sweets and big dinners but be choosy. What foods rate 10/10 for you? Have a few of these favourites and make healthy choices the rest of the time. 5. Take a healthy and delicious item to events. You would be surprised by how many people will appreciate this and you will have at least one healthy choice. 6. Drinking alcohol? Keep it to the recommended amounts (one to two drinks for women and two to three for men) to prevent feeling tired, run down, and the extra calories that come along with that rum and eggnog. Try alternating alcoholic drinks with something like soda or sparkling water with lime. 7. Get outside and play! Don’t use the cold as an excuse - use the snow as a reason to get outside. Try making snowmen with the kids, go skating, tobogganing, cross-country skiing, or organize a snow soccer or football game. Aim for 30 minutes of daily activity. 8. Dress for the weather. This will make being active

outside much more enjoyable. Hats, scarves, and waterproof gloves are must haves. Dress in layers so you can take them off when you warm up from all that fun you will be having! 9. Learn to say no. Saying yes when you don’t want to, or shouldn’t, can leave you feeling overwhelmed. People will understand if you cannot go to

every event or make cookies for every party. 10. Enjoy the season! Take a breather, relax and experience all of the amazing things this time of year has to offer. Taking a little break from the hustle and bustle to spend just 15 minutes alone can help you better cope with the stress. For a healthy holiday drink

try this hot mulled tea recipe from the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Ingredients: 2 tea bags (black tea, rooibos, green tea or decaffeinated herbal berry tea)

1 cinnamon stick 5 whole cloves 1 whole star anise ½ vanilla pod (optional) 4 cups boiling water, plus more for warming the tea pot Continued on next page

The True Light May the light of the holiday fill your home and give you and your loved ones peace throughout the coming year.

Christmas Worship

by Laurie Langdon The process by which living organisms give rise to offspring is called reproduction. Reproduction is a characteristic feature of all plants and animals, and it is necessary for the continuation of life. If an offspring is produced by a single parent organism the offspring is almost always the same as the parent. If an off-

spring is produced by two parent organisms, it inherits characteristics from both parents. Similarly, you were created, as it were, an “offspring” of God. Having been “produced” by Him, you were actually created the same as God. The very fact that you were born ensures that you have inherited certain characteristics from Him. You were created in the

likeness (image) of God (Gen. 1:27). In that image you were made to bear the “shadow” or “outline” of God. Whatever “shape” God is, therefore, you are too. Where he moves or bends, so do you. Where His figure extends, so does your figure. You are a design of God, made by Him and like Him. While it is not a physical likeness, it is definitely a likeness. It is a personal likeness. God, the creator, your creator, is a person. He has intellect, consciousness, will and emotion. So do you. He made you that way, like Himself. And in making you after His own

image God endowed you with those qualities which belong to His own nature. You are like Him and thereby are you not only distinguished from all other inhabitants of the world, you are raised immeasurably above them. You belong to the same order of being as God Himself. As a person you have been endowed with intellectual faculties. Adam, the first human being, must have possessed an incredible mental aptitude in order to work and take care of the Garden of Eden.

would name them, and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. He proceeded to give names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. Here, then, in the earliest stage of Adam’s life is speech, for he evidently calls out or pronounces these names. Here, too, is the knowledge of language in its radical power, for these names are not empty, but significant. Here, also, is zoological knowledge, for the varying nature and qualities of the beasts and the birds before Adam determine his action in naming them. God, being a person, is also emotional, responding to both the spoken and unspoken needs of literally billions of people. The way He meets our needs, for example, and quiets our fears displays His deep desire to care for us. He is a person of profound sensitivity. But He also gets angry, in righteousness, in reaction to His moral sense in the presence of evil, even burning with anger against the wrongs He meets with as He walks with us through our human journey. He melts with pity at the sight of the world’s misery and recurrently expresses joy, sorrow and compassion. These emotional movements run their full course in Him in the same manner as we experience them. His personhood embraces that whole series of painful emotions which move from alarm to despondency to well-nigh complete desolation. He reacts as we react to the incidents which arise in daily life, and His reactions bear all the characteristics of the corresponding emotions we are familiar with in our experience. Furthermore, both you and God share another attribute of personality - free will. God, being a person, possesses the freedom to act as He chooses. So do you. In making you in His image He enabled you to choose what kind of career to follow, what kind of car to drive, what kind of clothes to wear, etc. He even gave you the freedom to choose whether to serve Him or not. That was a tough one, though. But His heart is to have a people who desire Him with all their heart and serve Him out of their own free will. He will not manipulate you in any way. He made you with a free will and expects you to function with a free will, even if that means losing you. It is a moral likeness. Originally and before sin,

From your neighbours at the

Drayton Christian Reformed Church

88 Main Street East, www.draytoncrc.org

Adam had and, having been forgiven of your sin, you also have, both righteousness and holiness, just like God. Only on this ground is it possible for you to have communion with God, who cannot look upon perverseness. Originally and apart from sin, you are holy. Your affections and will, though accompanied by the power of evil choice, leaned in the direction of godliness. Your instinctive affection and childlike innocence automatically drew you toward fellowship with Him. That holiness, by the way, called “original holiness,” is different from what is known as “perfected holiness” - that which is now being developed in you, if you are a follower of Christ, and is confirmed by temptation. It is a social likeness. God’s social nature is grounded in His affections. God loves, therefore He desires someone to love. As God has a social nature, so He has endowed you with a social nature. Consequently, you seek companionship. In the first place you, in Adam, found this fellowship in God himself as he walked and talked with God in the garden in the cool of the day. The times of fellowship that God and Adam shared together were mutually fulfilling. God made you for Himself, and you, in innocence found supreme satisfaction in communion with Him. But God also found supreme satisfaction in communion with you. Originally, Adam experienced great pleasure in the presence of his Creator, but God also provided human fellowship, as He saw that Adam needed human communion. So Eve was created and was “comparable to him.” (Gen. 2:18) In order to make this a very intimate fellowship, He made the woman out of a bone taken from the man. Adam recognized, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” (Gen. 2:23-24) God loves company. He finds gratification in spending time with His creation. Like a grandparent excitedly anticipating a weekend visit with their grandchildren, God anticipates a visit with you, to be with you, to share affections with you. You’re like God; God is like you.
