Junior Farmers clean up local road MAPLETON - Wellington Junior Farmers completed their final road cleanup of the season on Oct. 14.

The Drayton-based club, adopted Wellington County Road 7 three years ago and cleans up the stretch between Wellington Roads 10 and 11 three times a year. The club looks forward to serving their community on a regular basis and they try and do as many projects as they can to improve

the Wellington community.

The most common items found while cleaning up Wellington Road 7 were fast food containers, cigarette packages and beer bottles. The Wellington Junior Farmers urge the community “to help keep our environment clean by not throwing garbage out the window, and to please not drink and drive.�

Junior Farmers consists of people age 15 to 29 from all

occupations and walks of life. “We are people looking for fun, new challenges, and an opportunity to be involved,� organizers state.

Junior Farmers are the only self-directed youth program in Ontario and strives to build future rural leaders through self help and community betterment. Anyone interested in joining the Wellington Junior Farmers can contact the club at wellingtonjf@jfao.on.ca.

by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – The Township of Mapleton is working on a solution for a local couple who say their rights as farmers have been impacted by a change to the municipality’s comprehensive zoning bylaw.

Alwyn and Lori Woodham attended the Oct. 9 council meeting to seek an update on concerns they have raised about a section of the bylaw that waives Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) requirements for existing lots that are less than 9.9 acres. Mapleton passed the revised comprehensive zoning bylaw in 2010, however it did not come into effect until June 2012 due to an OMB appeal of the bylaw on an unrelated matter.

Several small lots, created in the 1970s, exist near the couple’s farm. Because the lots are within MDS 1 radius, building could not be permitted without a specific waiver. However, the Woodhams believe the change to the comprehensive zoning bylaw would allow the lots to be built on, effectively restricting future expansion on their farm, as the farm would then be bound by MDS 2 regulations.

The couple, who run a cash crop operation in the Moorefield area and drew the issue to council’s attention at the Sept. 25 meeting, returned on Oct. 9 to seek more information from council. A special council meeting was held in closed session on Oct. 5. for education and training on MDS and receiving of advice subject to solicitor-client privilege.

At the Oct. 9 meeting, the Woodhams asked council if they had anything they could

share from the “training session� on Oct. 5.

Mayor Bruce Whale responded, “The whole situation is being reviewed by our lawyer and the (Wellington County) planning department.�

In response to questions from the Woodhams, Linda Redmond of the Wellington County planning department reported there are 80 vacant small agricultural lots in the township.

Redmond explained the owners of the lots went through the MDS process that was in place at the time they were created. She said the waiver was included in the Mapleton comprehensive zoning bylaw, at the initiative of the planning department, “so they didn’t have to go through another process in order to build.�

Similar waiver clauses exist in the comprehensive zoning bylaws in five of the seven municipalities in Wellington County. However at the Sept.

25 meeting, all of the councilors who were in office at the time of the bylaw change stated they were unaware MDS regulations were being impacted.

Alwyn Woodham told council the couple feels the waiver clause disregards their rights. “What this bylaw says to us is that anyone can build a house as close to our farm as they want. Where are my rights as a farmer and property owner?� he asked, adding, “We can’t expand any buildings on our farm or our manure facility. “Where are my rights? Or, apparently, I don’t have any. I used to have them and with one sentence in a bylaw you took

them away.�

Woodham said the municipality never publicized the fact the comprehensive zoning bylaw change would affect MDS requirements prior to its passage. “How would anybody know to object to it?� he wondered. “You would have to read the new zoning bylaw,� stated Whale. “I voted for you councillors to be in this council chamber to protect me. I trusted you,� said Lori Woodham.

The mayor said councillors were being honest when they earlier stated they were unaware of the impact of the new bylaw. “We spoke truthfully. We didn’t catch it,� he stated.

Whale said council is working on a solution for the Woodham’s situation. “We think there are ways that – and we may not be able to correct it 100 per cent – but we think there are ways that your potential to build a livestock facility won’t be restricted.�

Alwyn Woodham expressed concern a decision like this one would be made in an agricultural community. “You just make a bylaw and slip it though and – boom - it affects the people who have lived here all their lives. I don’t think that’s right in an area that depends on agriculture,� he stated.

Another special council meeting on the MDS situation was held in-camera on Oct. 11. “We’re still working on resolving the issue,� said CAO Patty Sinnamon, following the Oct. 11 meeting.

Township offers support on high voltage issue

by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – A Mapleton man believes excessive voltage being delivered to his property

by Hydro One is causing damage and council here is supporting his efforts to rectify the situation.

Bruce McClure told council at the Oct. 9 meeting that shortly after purchasing his property in December of 2011, he installed a geo-thermal heating system. Since he started using the system, McClure said the system compressor has burned out twice and a fan motor has

burned out once. The second time the compressor burned out, burnt refrigerant gases resulted in contamination of the system, which had to be replaced.

McClure said that, to date, system repairs have cost him $20,000 and he has a new $30,000 HVAC and air purifications system “that I can’t risk turning on because of unreliable voltage levels being delivered from Hydro One.�

McClure said Hydro One has replaced the transformer at his house, but the problem

has not been resolved. He says that Hydro One, the Electrical Safety Authority, the Canadian Standards Association and the Ontario Energy Board, all deny a problem exists with the voltage levels being delivered to his house.

McClure told council he has received the support of Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece, who has written to Ontario Energy Minister Chris Bentley on his behalf. “Can a I get a letter of support from you?� he asked council.

Mayor Bruce Whale noted “this is something we have very little control over as a municipal council,� and suggested McClure consider obtaining a report from an electrician and present his case through the Ontario Ombudsman’s office or other such venue.

Council supported a motion from councillor Jim Curry to prepare a letter in support of the correspondence from Pettapiece to the Ministry of Energy on McClure’s behalf. “We hope you can get it corrected,� Whale told McClure.

Election time looms

In an announcement that surprised many, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty ground the wheels of government in the province to a halt with his announcement Monday night that he would step down as premier and leader of the Liberal party as soon as a new leader can be chosen.

Many will point to the brewing scandal over the apparently politically motivated cancellation of natural gas plants in Oakville and Mississauga as the prime factor behind the premier’s decision.

That’s unlikely given McGuinty has already survived to win two more elections after being vilified for telling one of the most blatant lies in campaign history – “I won’t raise your taxes” – prior to his first successful campaign as leader in 2003. Clearly the man can take heat.

It’s also hard to imagine this is a move made to clear the way for a run at the federal Liberal leadership. Given time to think about it, how many Liberal politicians would rather run against Justin Trudeau than Tim Hudak?

So that leaves us with McGuinty’s stated explanation, essentially that it’s become impossible to implement a clear fiscal agenda within the confines of a fractured minority parliament. Probably so. After all, if you can’t get the Conservatives on board for a public sector wage freeze, what are the odds of garnering consensus on any matters of consequence?

However, if we are to accept that reasoning, the next Liberal leader should quickly call an election, despite the short life of the current minority government. Such a move would be less offensive to the electorate for reasons of renewal and breaking a legislative stalemate than it would be if a party was simply attempting to capitalize on favourable poll standings. Clearly that’s not the case here.

So, all things considered, it’s probably as good a time as any for McGuinty to make his exit. In politics, to wait around for the most opportune time to make a move, usually means missing it.

Letter to the Editor Regiment information sought Dear Editor: The 30th Wellington Rifles was the largest militia regiment in Canada, with 10 companies, one in each township, and existed from 1866 to 1936.

Local historians seem to have ignored the contribution of these young men as there is scant mention in any published book. I hope someone can add a few details (even a picture?) for a story I have written on the regiment. Here’s what I know.

Captain Thomas Thompson organized a company at Hollen in 1866. When the captain retired the company was transferred to Moorefield in 1881 under Captain John Booth. The location of their drill shed was on Booth Street. Moorefield failed and the company was moved to Guelph in 1895.

When Dufferin County was formed in 1881, the company there was moved to Palmerston under Captain Charles Irvine.

Captain J.L. Potter moved the company to Drayton in 1902 and it remained there until the regiment was wound up in 1936. Question: where did they drill at Drayton and where was their drill shed?

The company at Belwood failed in 1882 and was moved to Harriston under Captain William Mason. The drill shed is said to be on Market Square; is there any proof?

What I need are the locations of the company drill sheds at Drayton, Palmerston and Harriston, and hopefully a picture.

A conundrum - the post office at Palmerston was built in 1916 and has a brick “Armoury” attached at the rear.

My problem is the rifle company had moved away in 1902.

Any explanation?

Operation Christmas Child seeking donations to brighten season for kids PALMERSTON Operation Christmas Child (OCC) brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through giftfilled shoe boxes.

It is a fun and easy project that can involve people of all ages. Many of the children who receive a shoe box are being given the first gift they have ever received.

OCC shoe boxes open doors for Samaritan’s Purse to provide children families, and communities with access to safe water, food, clothing, shelter, medical assistance, and/or educational resources.

Shoe boxes from OCC can transcend barriers - language, culture, geography and politics - to give joy and hope to hurting children around the world.

Each gift-filled shoe box should contain a well-balanced variety of school supplies, toys, hygiene products and a personal note and photo from the giver.

OCC shoe boxes travel around the world using every imaginable form of transportation: trucks, boats, planes and even camels.

In 2011, Canadians packed and shipped 672,274 shoe boxes. That’s five per cent more than the previous year.

Nearly 8.6 million gift-filled shoe boxes were collected worldwide last year.

This year’s National Collection Week is Nov. 19 to 25. Shoe boxes from Canada collected in 2012 will be distributed to the following countries: Chile, Costa Rica, El

Alma Optimist Roadkill Race for MS gears up for Oct. 20 ALMA - Despite its name, Alma’s annual Optimist Roadkill Race on Oct. 20 is for a good cause - in this case MS. This year races begin with the fun run at 1:30pm and the 5km run/walk and 10km run/ walk at 2pm (some fees do apply for the longer walks/runs).

The pick-up of shirts and bib numbers is on Oct. 20 (race day) at 12:30pm at the Alma Community Centre.

Proceeds from this race will benefit the Wellington Chapter of the MS Society.

Last year’s race raised over $3,000 in support of the local MS Society, thanks to support from community members who came out to run or who sponsored someone else.

This years event is an outand-back course that begins on the gravel track at Wallace Cumming Park and then heads out Wellington Road 21 with the 5km turn around just past the 14th Line and the 10km turn around on the 16th Line, returning back to the Alma Community Centre.

Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Uruguay, Venezuela Many local churches and businesses participate in this program and donors can pick up boxes through them. They can also use real shoe boxes or small plastic storage containers and return them to local dropoff centres.

Any family, organization or business which would like to get involved can go to www. samaritanspurse.ca and link to OCC and find the nearest dropoff centre for more information.

The logistic co-ordination team for the Town of Minto and surrounding area can also help with questions. Call 519343-4816 in the evening.

LOVERS OF THE

BIRDS Sandhill Crane

Two area residents have informed me that they have seen sandhill cranes in past years. Andy Bezener notes in Lovers of the Birds’ this crane is rare to uncommon from April to November.

For the Mapleton area they would likely be migrants on their way to Cuba, Mexico or several southern U.S. states for the winter.

During migration huge numbers gather. They feed in fields by day and roost in shallow water by night. Summers take them as far north as the tundra of Hudson’s Bay. Courtship involves an elaborate dance and a life-time bond between mates. Two eggs are laid on a large nest on or near water. This bird is a sensitive nester, needing isolation from human disturbance.

Size: They are 100-120cm/40-48” long and 2m/80” wingspan.

ID: Adults have a bald, red crown; long legs, neck and curved bill.

The grey plumage is often rust stained. This is due to their habit of preening in iron oxide-rich tundra ponds. Voice: Their loud, resonant and rattling song has been described as either gu roo or karoo. This sound carries a long distance. One thing I am realizing is that voice descriptions in bird books often conflict. Flight: In flight the sandhill extends its neck and legs. While in many regards they are similar to the great blue heron, they are dissimilar in that the heron folds its neck over the shoulder. Herons also lack the red forehead patch. Feed: The diet consists of insects, waste grain, soft invertebrates, shoots and tubers.

Please remember to mail your 2012 bird survey lists to Susan Warren c/o the Community News, P.O. Box 189, Drayton, ON, N0G 1P0 or email to swarren1010@gmail.com as soon as possible.

September proved to be a lackluster birding experience but we did have frequent House Finch visitors. Soon the winter residents will return.

Until next month, Susan Warren.

resuscitation, and allows medical personnel to provide compressions while performing other life-saving activities or while transporting a patient.

Heather Bults, president of the Palmerston and District Hospital Foundation accepted the gift and stated “the foundation is extremely grateful for the support of the Rotary Club of Drayton and the Ontario Tire Dealers Association. This gift will make a difference to patients suffering from sudden cardiac arrest, and greatly improve our standard of care.”

Drayton Rotary raises funds with its annual dinner theatre, poinsettia sales, food booth at the fair and other events. This year the club received a generous donation of $18,250 from the Ontario Tire Dealers Association. This is the largest single donation that the Drayton Rotary Club has ever received. The “small but mighty” Drayton Rotary Club is a perennial sponsor of local athletics, youth leadership conferences, aquaboxes for disaster relief, playground and park structures and polio eradication to name a few of their many worthy causes.

Those interested in joining or volunteering with Rotary can contact Bob Bignell at 7417595 or bignell@veritechmfg. com.

We know that there’s a lot to see and do online. That’s why Xplornet offers high-speed Internet service that is truly high-speed, with packages available as fast as 10 Mbps.2 And it’s also why we offer monthly bandwidth allowances as big as 100 GB. That’s a lot. How much is it?

It’s enough to stream 225 movies, download 25,600 photos or listen to Internet radio 24-hours a day.3 Because when it comes to the Internet, you shouldn’t have to settle for less.
