Participation record set as Drayton Terry Fox Run raises $25,000

by Sue Hogenkamp Drayton – It may have been due to the beautiful weather, or a number of factors, but Drayton’s Terry Fox Run organizers were thrilled with the record turnout on Sept. 16, as over 200 participants and volunteers banded together to raise $25,143 for cancer research. “I’m so inspired by the families and individuals who come out every year and I think it is so cool that they consistently commit to this cause,� said head organizer Louise Ellis. She is also quick to point out that many new participants attended this year, and she is most grateful for their contributions. In fact, participation more than doubled from 2011. Ellis feels that part of this year’s success may stem from the team approach that was encouraged. Several new teams joined the original group, the Family Fun Team, and include the Footlights/Dynafit Team, Grandpa’s Butterflies, Drayton and Moorefield RBC’ers, the Minto Mapleton Millipedes, and Grandmother and Grandson. Whether it was a team, family, individual or corporate approach, everyone came together to provide an enthusiastic throng of cancer research

Out on the route, water stations manned by Andy Kirkconnell and Ron Dickieson provided hydration. Prior to heading out, participants were entertained with live music by Randy Smart, while carnival games organized by

Nancy Stevens and face painting by Maureen TenHoopen were enjoyed by the younger crowd. Kirk Ellis, Trevor Franklin, Terry Downey and Larry Ellis provided barbecued turkey sausages and hotdogs to the hungry masses, while Carly and Kyle Ellis, Theresa Scholten, Kristyn Franklin, Henni Klaassen, Mary Downey and

Dale Franklin registered participants and collected the money. “We’re excited by the increase in participants and donations at the run this year,� said Dale Franklin. “We love counting money for such an important cause.� One important factor for Drayton’s large per capita revenue at this venue is a small

group of dedicated people who regularly collect over $1,000 in pledges each year. This year’s “Over-a-Thousand Club� includes, from highest to lowest, Linda Dickieson, Kelly Hanson, Roelie Katerberg, John Gleeson, Phil Gleeson, Theresa Scholten and Henni Klaassen. Run organizers wish to thank this group for going the extra distance for the cause. Corporate support Hanson chooses to support Drayton’s Terry Fox Run despite coming from the Grand Valley area. Every year she tackles a different challenge and has completed marathon bike rides, hikes and solo kayak trips to raise funds for cancer research. This year, despite recovering from a total hip replacement in January, Hanson completed a 72km solo kayak paddle on the Saugeen River and raised almost $2,000 for Drayton’s run. Also key to the success of Drayton’s run is the generous support it receives from its many corporate sponsors. In fact, Louise Ellis predicts the total revenue will increase over the next few weeks since donations from corporate sponsors continue to come in. She advises that those sponsors will be listed in a thank you ad in an

upcoming edition of the Community News. In addition to corporate sponsors, organizers also wish to express gratitude to the Agricultural Society for the use of the old arena. Since moving the run from the municipal parking lot to the arena, it has gained momentum and grown to be one of the top runs in Ontario with respect to revenue per capita, as well as per participant. Back in September 1980, when Terry Fox realized he would be unable to complete his Marathon of Hope and run across Canada on an artificial leg to raise funds to cure cancer, he said, “Even though I’m not running anymore, we still have to try to find a cure for cancer. Other people should go ahead and try to do their own thing now.� Drayton has most certainly taken up this challenge and has become a champion for the cause. Since becoming an annual event in 1994, Drayton’s Terry Fox Run has raised over $358,000. Next year’s run will be held on the second Sunday after Labour Day, as per Terry’s wishes. Organizers are hoping for another beautiful sunny day. More coverage on page 8.

Drayton water, sewer systems will need upgrades for future demands

by Patrick Raftis DRAYTON – Upgrades to the water and sewer systems in Drayton will be needed to ensure both systems meet present and projected future needs, according to engineering reports from R. J. Burnside and Associates.

A report on extraneous flows into the sewage system was commissioned by Mapleton council as part of a response to an order from the Ministry of Environment, following an emergency discharge of the system in 2011. At that time the municipal-

ity was in the process of completing two new lagoon cells as a result of a contingency plan resulting from an emergency discharge in the spring of 2008. Public works director Larry Lynch explained the 2011 discharge occurred partially because of excess effluent in

the lagoon and also because of a need to empty most of the largest cell in order to complete the hook up from an expansion project last fall. The “totally unprecedented� amount of rain last year also contributed to a significant rise in the volume of water in all the lagoon cells,

but the MOE also required a report that identified any inflow and infiltration that may have contributed. David Paetz of R. J. Burnside told council at its Sept. 11 meeting that testing during two recent rainfall events revealed inflow from

extraneous sources into all parts of the system, with the heaviest inflows occurring in the downtown core area. Paetz suggested the municipality focus on that area for further study and remedial action. “Every system is going to Continued on page 2

Exchange students from France, Switzerland hosted by area families

by Patrick Raftis DRAYTON - Eight area families are currently hosting visitors from France and Switzerland as part of an International Student Exchange (ISE) program. The families of Drayton Grade 9 students Vanessa Koepke and Ireland Jenner are hosting, respectively, French visitors Guillenette Zeller and Chloe Le Gavrian, who are attending Norwell District Secondary School during their exchange, which runs until November. Vanessa and Ireland have already spent time in France with their exchange partners last spring. Vanessa said she really enjoyed the experience. She was impressed with a strong emphasis on healthy living among the residents of that country. “They’ve very active. We did a lot of 25- kilometre walks and they eat very, very, very

healthy,� she noted. Attending Grade 8 at Drayton Heights Public School as part of a two-month exchange are Raphael Lina, and Baptiste Picard of France. Raphael is staying with the family of Ty Vogel, while Baptiste’s exchange partner is Darnell Holland. Four of the visitors are attending Grade 11 at Norwell. Staying with the families of Michael McHarg of Drayton and Morgan Mitchell of the Moorefield area, respectively, are Arthur Aurick of France and Kenza Vionnet of Switzerland. Swiss visitor Beatriz Alvarea Restropo is being hosted by the family of Becca Hardie of Palmerston and Justine Lepeule of France is staying with the family of Charlene Weppler of Harriston. Upon arrival in Ontario last month, the visiting students were taken on a sight-seeing

excursion. In Niagara the students enjoyed the White Water Walk, a Maid of the Mist boat ride and a ride up the Skylon Tower, as well as the movie Legends and Daredevils at the Niagara Imax theatre. In Toronto they took a bus tour of the downtown area, and went up the CN Tower. Welcoming community “Everyone here is very nice and welcoming,� said Justine Lepevile, who was impressed with the wide open spaces in this rural part of Ontario, compared to her home in France. “I think things are very different. Everything is big here.� ISE Ontario offers educational exchange programs for Ontario elementary and secondary students. The programs provide the opportunity for students to discover and explore other countries and cultures and improve or develop new language skills.

Mapleton students attained mixed results in provincial EQAO testing by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – The majority of students at most Mapleton elementary schools performed at or near the provincial average in reading, writing and mathematics in testing from the Education Quality Accountability Office (EQAO) for 2011-2012. Province wide, 66 per cent of Grade 3 students were at the provincial standard (levels three and four) in reading, 76 per cent were at the provincial standard in writing and 68 per cent reached the target in math. Across the Upper Grand District School Board, this year’s Grade 3 students improved by three per cent in reading, and matched last year’s writing and math results, while at the Grade 6 level students improved in both reading and writing and held their own in math. “We know our literacy strategies are working,� said board chair Bob Borden. “By identifying the best instructional practices, we can prompt more student achievement.� At Alma Public School, 67

per cent of students were at the provincial standard in reading, up from 45 per cent in 201011; 67 per cent reached the standard in writing, up from 45 per cent last year and 76 per cent reached the standard in math, compared to 50 per cent the previous year. A full 100 per cent of students at Alma PS were at the provincial standard in reading, 75 per cent in writing and 70 per cent in mathematics. That compares to last year’s figures when 95 per cent made the grade in reading, 90 per cent in writing and 90 per cent in math. At Centre Peel Public School, 34 per cent of Grade 3 students were at the provincial standard in reading, 48 per cent in writing and 31 per cent in math. Last year, 36 per cent of students reached the mark in writing and only 18 per cent in mathematics. Numbers for Centre Peel Grade 3 reading scores for 2010-11 were not reported. Numbers are not reported when the number of participating students falls below a

minimum threshold, in order to avoid identification of individual student results. In Grade 6, 48 per cent of students reached the provincial standard in reading, 55 per cent in writing and 34 per cent in math. Those numbers are all an improvement from last year, when 43 per cent reached the standard in reading, 26 per cent in writing and 34 per cent in math. At Drayton Heights Public School, 68 per cent of Grade 3 students reached the provincial standard in reading, 72 per cent in writing and 52 per cent in math. All three numbers are down from last year, when 70 per cent of students were at the standard in reading, 78 per cent in writing and 85 per cent in math. In Grade 6, 71 per cent of Drayton Heights students reached the standard in reading, 79 per cent in writing and 57 per cent in math. Last year 81 per cent hit the target in reading, 73 per cent in writing and 73 per cent in math. Maryborough Public School Grade 3 results showed

68 per cent of students reaching the provincial standard in reading, compared to 61 per cent last year. In writing, 79 per cent of students hit the standard, down from 89 per cent last year. In math, 75 per cent of students reached the standard, compared to 67 per cent last year. In Grade 6, 78 per cent of Maryborough PS students reached the standard in reading this year, while 94 per cent hit the standard in writing and 66 per cent in math. Numbers for 2010-11 at Maryborough PS were not reportable. Grade 9 Math results Most Mapleton Grade 9 students attend either Centre Wellington District High School in Fergus or Norwell District Secondary School in Palmerston. At Norwell, 47 per cent of students in the applied program were at or above the provincial standard for math, while the figure for academic students was 89 per cent. Both numbers are up from last year, when 40 per cent of applied students were at or above the standard and 81 per cent of aca-

demic students hit the target. At Centre Wellington, 44 per cent of applied students were at or above the provincial standard, compared to 37 last year, while 82 per cent of academic students reached the target, compared to 83 per cent in 2010-11. Across the Upper Grand District School Board, Grade 9 math students in the academic stream earned 87 per cent success, and applied students 53 per cent compared with 84

per cent and 44 provincially. Gains made by Upper Grand’s applied students rose one percentage point over last year, and two percentage points for academic students. “The results show that we’re consistently improving our instruction in Grade 9 math,� said Borden. “The strategies our teachers are using and the thoughtful analysis they put into the results are having the desired effect in improving our instructional practice.�

Tomorrow’s leaders Extraordinary young leaders - they’re all around us - in schools, at church and on sports teams. Sometimes it’s easy to pick someone special from a crowd, while other times it may not be quite as obvious. Truth is, there are young people everywhere who are working hard at bettering their communities. Many may not even realize they’re making a difference. It’s time to recognize their dedication and nominate them for the 2012 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award. This newspaper strongly supports the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards here in Mapleton Township and Wellington County, so we can provide recognition for such outstanding young people who continue to be fine examples of leaders in our community. The awards program is coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA), of which we are a member, and sponsored by TD Bank Group and Direct Energy. Any Ontario resident aged six to 17 (must be at least six years but no older than 17 years by Nov. 30) is eligible to be chosen as an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year. Please help us by nominating an individual in one of four areas: - a person involved in worthwhile community service; - a special young person contributing to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation; - an individual who has performed an act of heroism in the past year; or - good kids who show a commitment to make life better for others and do more than is normally expected of someone their age. Up to 12 nominees will be chosen as the final recipients of the provincial award and will be invited to a special ceremony held next spring. Nominate a deserving young person today, and we will personally present them with a certificate of recognition and showcase their contributions in this newspaper. Help us pay tribute to our leaders of today and tomorrow. Nomination deadline for the 2012 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards is Nov. 30. Nomination forms are available at www. ocna.org/juniorcitizen or call the OCNA at 905-639-8720 ext. 239.

A fine example The youth of this area have a fine example to follow as they strive to become tomorrow’s leaders. One need look no further than the organizers and participants of local Terry Fox Runs in Drayton and Palmerston for examples of how to serve both the local community and a wider one. The 2012 event in Drayton attracted a record turnout on Sept. 16, as over 200 participants and volunteers worked together to raise $25,143 for cancer research. Since becoming an annual event in 1994, Drayton’s Terry Fox Run has raised over $358,000, a staggering total and one that has made this small community a perennial leader in funds raised per capita for the event across Ontario. While it benefits from dedicated and enthusiastic leadership from individuals who continue to find new ways to keep the event fresh and interesting, the Drayton run is truly a community success, with participants walking, running, pedaling and pushing in support of the cause. Numerous volunteers and corporate sponsors also pitch in to help the run reach its goal. Organizers of the run in Palmerston also put on a fine event, demonstrating community pride and a magnanimous spirit, as they raised over $5,000 in an event involving 87 supporters. The other element that makes the Terry Fox Run a true community event, is the fact one needn’t run, organize or even volunteer to make a contribution. In the words of Terry Fox, “If you’ve given a dollar, you are part of the Marathon of Hope.” Patrick Raftis

Kitchen fees waived for fundraiser

by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – The PMD arena auditorium will be getting new flooring in the near future. Council accepted a proposal from Mapleton Flooring and Windows to replace the floor, at an estimated cost of up to $47,677. While there have been many upgrades to the arena over the 35 years since it was constructed in 1977, including the addition of five new dressing rooms, the original auditorium flooring is still in place. A report presented to council at its Sept. 11 meeting indicated the parquet hardwood dance floor and surrounding vinyl tile floor have been deteriorating for a number of years and are “significantly outdated and no longer provide the community with an enticing platform for 2012 rentals.�

The approved proposal calls for a new floor consisting of luxury vinyl tile with a slate, stone or plank look. The material would be easily-maintained with no waxing or sealing required and would have an estimated 20 year lifespan. Lynch recommend that approach over a less-expensive epoxy flooring that would have a longer life-span, but is more “industrial looking.� Pleasant for functions “What we want to make is an auditorium that’s pleasant for weddings and other functions,� said Lynch, who suggested an interior designer be consulted on style options before proceeding with the work, which is expected to take about two weeks to complete. Lynch noted the funds for the floor have already been allocated in the municipality’s 2012 capital budget.

A special 10:30am service will be held and the congregation is extending an invitation to the entire community. The service will feature guest speaker Rev.

Toulmin is well known for her role as Anne in the stage production of Anne of Green Gables. The congregation especially hopes to see many former members join them in thanking God for all the blessings He has given through others. It will also be a good time for people who are looking for a church home or seeking to make new friends. A lunch will follow the service.

Glen Allan Informally called Allansville, in 1858 a Judge McDonald (probably a county judge) officially named this village Glen Allan in honour of George Allan. Situated in a valley by the Conestogo River, this residential settlement, on Wellington County Road 45, in the southern corner of Mapleton is home to families and retired folk these days. There is one church, mail is delivered to postal boxes beside the main road, and the last general store, built in 1926, closed in the late 1980s. George Allan first settled here in 1847. He and Donald Sutherland owned land in the valley and had plans of subdivision drawn. They planed for businesses, mills, homes and included a large cemetery for the community. Strangely this cemetery plan was bisected by St. Paul’s and St. Luke’s Streets. The cemetery is still in use. Wide avenues, where no monuments mark burials, in the older section show where they intended to open those streets.

The Impact of Experience Experiences with God will have a strong impact on you. They may be experiences that occur following the preaching of God’s word, or they may be experiences we have during private devotions, as we worship, or as we just wait in His presence. Nothing brings change like these events, for they are encounters with God. Through

them we literally become different people - we think and feel differently, we act differently, we have different motives and new ambitions. Because of them we are fundamentally transformed and remade into the image of God, as Saul was on the road to Damascus, as he, “... breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women,

LOVERS OF THE

BIRDS

2012 Mapleton Bird Species Survey Have you ever wondered what bird species live in or pass through Mapleton? I have. This motivated me to start writing this column back in November 2005. I wanted to connect with other bird lovers. That prompted two surveys in 2005 and 2007. The results, combined with our birding experiences, revealed an impressive discovery. At least 105 species of birds have been observed over the last couple of decades. I think it is time to update this list. I am hoping you wonderful readers will take some time to get out your favourite bird book and use it to make your family’s list of the birds seen over 2012. Any uncommon bird sightings would be of help, even if they occurred in past years (e.g. Eastern Bluebird seen in 2001 and 2009). The Drayton Library has an excellent selection of bird books if you need this resource. Please mail your list to: Susan Warren c/o the Community News, P.O. Box 189, Drayton, ON, N0G 1P0. You may email me at swarren1010@gmail.com. I plan to include the results in my November column. Therefore it would be helpful for me to receive them by October 15. This summer we acquired a squirrel-proof bird feeder. I would recommend these feeders since their design minimizes seed waste. Squirrels aren’t our main problem, it is greedy birds such as grackles. In 2011 we stopped feeding the birds for the summer. Hence, we had no Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks to enjoy. We learned our lesson. They were back this year raising families. I am going to try taping unfamiliar bird songs if I can move quickly enough. Later I will try to identify them using our bird song cassette. Fall migrants will be moving through Mapleton. Keeping your eyes and ears alert may reward you with a wonderful birding reward. Until next month, Susan Warren.

he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’ “And he said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ “Then the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ “So he, trembling and astonished, said, ‘Lord, what do You want me to do?’

“Then the Lord said to him, ‘Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.’” (Acts 9:1-6) Saul was changed. Through an experience with God he literally became an “opposite” person. He thought and felt differently, he acted differently, he had different motives and new ambitions. A celebrity in the Jewish faith, he who was famous as a great persecutor of Christians, was now to become a great champion of Christianity. He was virtually redeemed and revolutionized.

Such is the impact of an experience with God; experiences wherein God reproduces Himself in us. Look for them. Place yourself in places where you become open and available to God.

Keeping It Real with Michael “Bull” Roberts ********************

Former gang leader, drug dealer and enforcer turned Crusader for Christ...expect to be stirred mind, body and soul as Michael shares his story and heart.

Sunday, September 30th, 2012 - 7PM Drayton Reformed Church

on October 6, 2012

Michael “Bull” Roberts He feels part of his ministry, now, is to dish out a warning and to help young men and women turn their lives around so they do not have to endure the horrors he did. Roberts knows he cannot undo his past but he is keen to relive his own youth by helping young people stay on track. He feels by sharing his story, he can deter young people from making the same bad decisions he made. “In having relationships with these youth, I get to watch them grow into a life I never had. I get to live with them in the joys of all their success.” Roberts recalls longing for love and for someone to protect him. He wants to be that person to those who might be crossing the line into a life of crime and corruption. “The youth are truly, indeed, our future and [that is] where we need to be investing our time as mentors and leaders,” he says. Robert’s young life, filled with unfathomable abuse, hatred and corruption was the springboard to him seeking a sense of belonging on

the streets. One thing led to another and before he was even a teenager, he found himself entrenched in a life filled with misery and violence. Each day Roberts struggled to survive. He was bumped in and out of foster homes and he became dependent on street drugs and self-preservation landed him behind bars on more than one occasion. The summer of 2009 was a turning point for Roberts. He was brutalized by his own gang members and left for dead. Even hospitals were reluctant to admit the six foot, three hundred pound mobster for any length of time for fear of gang retaliation. Alone in the world, Roberts signed himself into a seedy motel and faced his demons. With broken bones, a broken heart and a crushed spirit, he finally realized the void in his life. He cried out, begging for even ‘one inch of love.’ It was then that a transformation took place. Roberts had never before professed such a strong faith. Even he was taken aback by what transpired next. Now ‘The Bull’ dedicates his life to helping vulnerable youth in a street ministry in downtown Toronto. His desire to save them from the clutches of evil that once distorted his own life spurs him into action and now his compassion for others is demonstrated by a fiery desire to also speak about his journey with others and to minister to the downtrodden and marginalized whichever way he can. Tender Heart Ministries was developed out of Michael’s work with youth and people in need in the greater Toronto area and beyond. Roberts is in the process of acquiring charitable status and sees that happening as of this December. “There are no borders and districts when it comes to our responsibility to those in need,” says Roberts as he contemplates the purpose of Tender Heart. “At present I provide youth mentorship, peer mediation; I discuss and work with youth on issues of physical and sexual violence. I deal with them out of my own life experience.” During the average month Roberts gets from 4,000 to 7,000 emails from youth all over the world “People just want to talk to somebody who understands,” says Roberts, “so aside from hitting the streets and hanging in coffee shops or caring for the homeless, a great deal of my time is spent in social media, where I have been able to share my life with a vast number of people.”
