Guelph-Eramosa council approves large hike to water and wastewater rates by Jaime Myslik BRUCEDALE – Residents who use municipal water and wastewater services in Guelph-Eramosa will soon see base rate hikes of about 138 per cent. In 2016 the rate will increase to $10 from $4.20 this year. The rate is scheduled to jump to $10.82 in 2020 based on the latest Watson and Associates Economists Ltd. water and wastewater rate study. The overall annual water bill for both the Hamilton Drive and Rockwood water systems will increase more than 50% over the next five years. Currently the township collects a base fee plus a usage fee for both water and wastewater. Officials say the significant rate increases are a result of the township trying to gear up to make the water systems sustainable long term, based on an asset management plan. “We know exactly what it is we need to do to theoretically sustain this water system going forward,” Mayor Chris White told the Advertiser in a phone interview. “So what that means is (a) bump in the rates to start and then they’ll plateau out, but that allows us to maintain a safe, clean sustainable water system.” White said the hike is also necessary to put Guelph-Eramosa back on the same level as other municipalities and to gain funds for reserves, which will finance long-term infrastructure needs. “Looking at the water rates where they need to be in order to make this a sustainable system going forward, we need to invest more in the capital,” he said. “We need to get some more reserves.” Finance director Linda Cheyne said a portion of the increased base rate will go directly to reserves. Hamilton Drive For the Hamilton Drive water system, the total volume rate will continue to increase. Next year the rate Continued on page 24

GRCA warns of invasive species at Elora Gorge by Olivia Rutt ELORA - The Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) is warning anglers about the round goby, an invasive species spotted at the Elora Gorge Conservation Area. The fish is a small bottom dweller that eats fish eggs and competes with native species of the area. “They are an aggressive fish. They’re referred to as a nest invader, so they will actually eat the eggs from other fish nests,” said Crystal Allan, natural heritage supervisor at the GRCA. “A round goby has the ability to reproduce several times a year… so it allows their population to expand that much more quickly.” The fish is native to eastern Europe and popped up in the Great Lakes in the 1990s. It was spotted in the Belwood reservoir about 10 years ago, explained Allan. She said the round goby may have been brought to Belwood as live bait and accidentally released into the water. However, this is the first time the GRCA has seen the round goby as

Invasive species - The round goby is an invasive species that has been spotted for the first time at the Elora Gorge Conservation Area. Ministry of Natural Resources far as the Elora Gorge. Officials are asking anglers to know how to identify the fish, to not release them back into the water, and to report any sightings to the invasive species hotline at 1-800-563-7711. Anglers should also be aware that possessing or using the round goby as live bait is illegal. Identified by the predominant black dot on their top fins, they have a fully scaled body and

they have a fused pelvic fin, which acts like a suction cup. “The thing with any invasive species … is they can be a threat to biodiversity in watersheds,” said Allan. “The complex biodiversity is what makes the system adaptable and resilient so when you start to chip away at that then you don’t have that resilience or adaptability for when changes do come along.”

by Mike Robinson ELORA - Centre Wellington council is giving the go-ahead for an addition to the future Emmanuel Christian High School at the corner of Tower Street and Belsyde Avenue in Fergus. On July 20, councillors agreed to remove the holding provision on the property and issue a heritage permit to allow construction of a one-storey addition to the former Fergus high school building. The addition is part of the overall renovation to the building and site to allow its continued use as a high school. In June, Centre Wellington received a heritage permit application to construct an addition to the building. Work on the property is to be completed in accordance with the approved heritage conservation plan prepared by Robinson Heritage Consulting. The conservation plan addresses repairs, stabilization and preservation activities, as well as long-term conservation, maintenance and monitoring measures to ensure the identified heritage attributes of the property are properly maintained. The heritage application includes the following proposed work: - retention of the existing building fabric; - retention of the existing doors and windows; - removal of existing greenery/ vines from façade; - repointing of existing stone as required; - retention of existing boys and girls entrance signs; - addition of new one-storey structure to the north façade of the existing building; - masonry of the new addition will consist of three bands of differing material to complement existing stone; and - windows on new addition will Continued on page 23

Puslinch no longer accepting large-scale site alteration applications by Mike Robinson ABERFOYLE - Puslinch won’t be accepting any new large-scale fill applications in the near future. On July 15, township councillors finally dealt with councillor Matthew Bulmer’s notice of motion asking the township to stop accepting new applications until the township revised its current fill bylaw. Bulmer explained some changes from a previous motion he introduced included closing a potential loophole regarding individuals who dumped fill without a permit. “I wanted to close the loophole so that they could not bring in more,” said Bulmer. He explained if the individual is given an order to deal with the fill, they should be able to get a permit to deal with what is there - even if it is to remove it - but not to allow more fill to be brought in. The township’s current alteration

bylaw, passed in 2012, was adopted to permit the placement of fill while mitigating impacts to the natural environment, residents quality of life, and liability to the township. The bylaw distinguishes between projects greater and less than 1,000 cubic metres, but Bulmer noted there is currently no formal arrangement between the township and conservation authorities to address fill projects. Bulmer’s motion noted projects larger than 1,000m3 have a greater potential to negatively impact the natural environment and residents’ quality of life. He also said those projects also have a greater potential to be divided across regulatory boundaries such as conservation authorities, which do not consider quality-of-life impact to residents as part of their review. The motion recognizes that current fees for projects over 1,000m3 may not be sufficient to cover costs of all proj-

ects. There was also recognition that the current fill bylaw has already been amended once since its first passage and that it has been identified for further improvements. There have also been new best practices passed since passage of the original bylaw that could be used to enhance the township bylaw. The move to temporarily cease accepting applications for new site alteration projects greater than 1,000m3 will provide staff and council time to work with conservation authorities to create a coordinated approach to deal with future applications. Council’s review of the current bylaw would also look at whether an upper limit needs to be established for site alterations project (currently there is no limit). Reviews would also look at the potential of scalable fees for projects over 1,000m3 . Bulmer thanked staff for assisting

him and taking the time to work on the motion. “It is not meant at all to be a criticism of the existing bylaw. But I think that with anything in life, we’re at our best when we learn as we go,” said Bulmer. Mayor Dennis Lever agreed, noting, “This has been a very big learning experience for council.” Bulmer said “we’ve had the opportunity to see the strengths and areas which could be improved.” He said he considered the existing bylaw a good foundation. Councillor Ken Roth remained concerned about what might happen if a company such as Maple Leaf needed a fill application while the bylaw putting a hold on such applications was still in place - “Because this is going to take a long time to sort out.” Lever replied all council would need to do is pass an exception to the bylaw for a specific case. The mayor

agreed that revisions to the existing bylaw “will take a considerable amount of time.” Roth also said in some ways the approach seemed to reward individuals for illegal dumping and encourage it if the township provides permit for materials already dumped. “I don’t agree with that at all. I think if someone dumps illegally, they should have to remove the material no negotiations - no nothing,” said Roth. Bulmer said the exception only applies to projects that have already happened. His concern is there may be one or two sites that have received orders to take action - and are looking to take advantage of the laws of the land today. “They are entitled to the opportunity to fix those sites,” said Bulmer. “But once this passes, that door of opportunity will close.” Continued on page 23

Threshing Bee to mark 175th anniversary of Aberfoyle Agricultural Society by Mike Robinson PUSLINCH - Aberfoyle is holding a celebration 175 years in the making. This year marks the 175th anniversary of the Aberfoyle Agricultural Society and an old-time tradition will be the newest addition to this year’s fair lineup on Sept. 11 and 12. Agricultural society past president Don McKay and current president Charlie Tilt were at Puslinch council on July 15 to provide an update to this year’s festivities. But those looking for a midway this year may be disappointed. “We are not going to have a midway this year,” Tilt said. He explained that in response to problems at last

year’s fair - the company hired to provide rides and amusements did not show, so organizers hired bouncy castles for the event - the agricultural society has decided to focus and expand on its roots. Tilt said a number of things are going to change with the fair this year. He said insurance issues have been looked after, as have judging issues because the 4-H sheep club has expanded tremendously and the garden club has almost doubled in size. Tilt added the society now has the go-ahead to have chickens and waterfowl at the fair. He said, “All I can say is that if it doesn’t rain, it’s going to be a sunny fair.” McKay, a retired meteorologist, quipped, “it’s too early to provide a long-range forecast.” He added, “Because this is the 175th anniversary of the society we wanted to do it up big for the fair.” McKay said the community is fortunate to have a group that put on a threshing bee both five and 10 years ago. “We approached the group to see if they were interested in being at the fair. So they’ve come out of retirement and are busy getting the steam engines and old tractors and hopefully having some good grain to thresh this September,” he said. Wagon loads of piled sheaves will be fed into the threshing machines throughout the day. Local collectors have agreed to bring their antique tractors, trucks, cars and

equipment for display. Other attractions include shingle makers, saw mill, rope making and a stone crusher. Food and refreshments will be offered in the threshing area by the Puslinch Optimist Club. In addition to the regular fair, McKay said some of the new things include a lawn tractor pull on Saturday afternoon at 4pm. The antique tractor pull returns on Friday. “The big thing, along with the other excellent things at the fair, is this threshing bee,” said McKay. “We’ve invited the MP and MPP to the fair and dinner.” McKay noted that in the past, the fair has made use of additional lands behind the community centre for parking. “This year, we’d still like to use it for parking, but this is also where the threshing bee will be held.” McKay said the community is also fortunate to have a local farmers market right on the fairgrounds. He noted other fairs have markets but not on the fairgrounds. This year, market vendors will be asked to leave by 3pm to make way for the threshing bee dinner in the arena. “We’re going to have an old fashioned threshing bee dinner and we thought this would be an ideal place to hold it - and provides a place to have the event under cover,” said McKay. “We’re looking forward to having you all attend.” Tilt added that “children are

going to be admitted free and we are going to honour the longest member of the society.” Councillor Matthew Bulmer said the municipality and the organization have a long history of working together. “In some ways you could say it was kind of the agricultural society to let us use your land for the last hundred and some odd years,” said Bulmer, adding he has no issue allowing the fair to use the land at the back of the community centre. “This event is a great community benefit and I look forward to enjoying it.” Councillor Ken Roth was in full favour of the fair using the facilities. Roth quipped that with McKay’s track record for predicting weather for the fair “perhaps you should wait until the week after (to make a prediction).” McKay laughed, replying, “And if it’s sunny I’ll take full credit.” Councillor Wayne Stokley also welcomed the use of the land. Stokley noted there were a number of issues encountered with the midway last year so fair organizers brought in some bouncy castles. “Are you providing anything for the young ones (this year)?” he asked. McKay noted the map provided to council indicates five bouncy castles will be on site this year. He said a representative of the midway company from last Continued on page 17

Refurbished transmission line from Guelph to secure Puslinch power access by Mike Robinson ABERFOYLE - As the Golden Horseshoe grows, so do the power requirements of the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge-Guelph area. As Puslinch councillors found out on July 15, the township is part of that equation. Plans for the future of Puslinch include the rebuild of an existing transmission line from Guelph to Puslinch and upgrades to station facilities in Guelph. Planner Bernice Chan represented IESO (Independent Electricity Systems Operator), regarding the Integrated Regional Resource Plan for Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph and Wellington County. Chan explained the IESO is the provincial agency responsible for electricity planning in Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our job is to make sure communities have a safe reliable energy supply over the long term,â&#x20AC;? said Chan. She added that while electricity planning for the local area has been underway for a considerable time, a recent milestone was the creation of a 20-year electricity plan. She said the IESO thought it would be a great opportunity to talk to the communities in the region. She spoke briefly on the electricity infrastructure currently serving Puslinch. In 2014, electricity demand in Puslinch peaked at about 27 megawatts (MW). Overall demand in the planning area was 1,250MW. She agreed population and employment are growing in the area and anticipated annual demand to grow by about two per

Gourmet Grill Pack cent per year. Average growth for the region is pegged at an annual rate of 2.5%. The main infrastructure is comprised of a local substation and a 115kV transmission line from Burlington. The main local utility is Hydro One. Because of local priorities and projected growth in the wider region, Chan said part of the IESO process is to partner with Hydro One to integrate local needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main purpose of electricity planning is to make sure the power system is able to deliver the power to communities when they need it.â&#x20AC;? The planning also identifies potential limitations ... which can result in construction of new power stations or rebuilding existing transmission infrastructure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In many cases there may be opportunities to reduce energy consumption at the community level,â&#x20AC;? said Chan. She added IESO is mandated by the Ontario Energy Board to carry out similar planning processes in regions across the province.

The 20-year-plan for the local region includes a recognition that it is designated by the province as one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Places to Grow.â&#x20AC;? Because of that, Chan said the population is expected to grow by 40% in the next 20 years. While Chan agreed there is interest in developing smaller projects, there is currently no large central generation resources in the region. What that means from a distribution standpoint is that the local area relies on having the infrastructure to have power delivered into the community. Another key component is the implementation of the Continued on page 35

Plan set for 42 Bedford Road development by Jaime Myslik BRUCEDALE – The municipality and a developer have a plan set for the additional drainage and retaining wall required for the development property at 42 Bedford Road in Guelph-Eramosa Township. “R.J. Burnside has signed off on the plan that the developer’s engineers put forward,” said township CAO Kim Wingrove. “That’s good news.” As of July 17 Wingrove said construction had yet to begin but the plan can be put into action at any time. The development site has grading issues and council

requested the developer bring forward a plan and provide a cost estimate for the improvements at the Feb. 2 council meeting. Wingrove said the township has received a cost estimate for the work that will be completed. “I think what you’ll expect to see at the next meeting or thereabouts is a request for securities reduction,” Wingrove explained. “They’d asked for securities reduction; we weren’t in a position to grant that until this other problem was addressed, so now it has been and so now they can move forward with that.”

2016 IPM cookbook unveiled

by Jaime Myslik MINTO - The 2016 International Plowing Match and Rural Expo (IPM) cookbook was officially unveiled last weekend at Flowers of Fragrance lavender farm near Harriston. A Fresh Taste of Farming is the latest edition in a long tradition of producing a cookbook for the IPM, summer student Valerie Hruska told the Advertiser at the July 18 event. “It contains over 500 recipes from kitchens all across Wellington County, including feature recipes from some of the best local producers that

Wellington County has to offer,” she said. “There’s about a dozen of those scattered throughout.” The committee of nine began organizing the cookbook in February. “All of these recipes were submitted by individuals who sent them to us,” Hruska explained. “So it’s like a community cookbook that includes everyone across Wellington County, so from Guelph to Minto to everywhere in between.” There were no parameters included in the call for recipes - the committee was just looking for the best the community had to offer. “We’re trusting that they include tried-and-true classics from across the county with some new favourites thrown in there as well,” Hruska said. “And people were extremely generous when they were providing us with recipes.” The unveiling event includ-

ed wagon tours of lavender fields and Celtic music by the Fair Wind Celtic Quartet. Participants also received a copy of the cookbook, designed by The Wellington Advertiser and printed by Fergus Printing. The cookbook itself is $10 and is available for purchase at the Wellington County Museum and Archives, Minto municipal office, Evergreen Variety and Steckle’s in Harriston, from any of the committee members or by calling Valerie at 519-510-2016. Check www.plowingmatch. org for more outlets that will be selling cookbooks as they become available. The International Plowing Match and Rural Expo comes to Wellington County Sept. 20 to 24, 2016 just south of Harriston on the farm of Anne and Earl Schneider. The IPM website www. plowingmatch.org contains information on volunteering and an application form.

OPP encourages water safety WELLINGTON COUNTY - Police want residents and visitors to have a safe and enjoyable summer on area lakes and rivers. Wellington County OPP marine officers have spent time patrolling Belwood Lake, Conestoga Lake and Puslinch Lake with resident safety in mind. Marine officer Sarah Van Norman wants to remind the public a major concern on local waterways is the lack of safety equipment used by the public. “The most common violation seen is the lack of personal flotation device (PFD) usage,” said Van Norman. “We want to remind everyone that you should never go on the water without a properly fitted PFD that’s in good condition.” Emergency situations in small vessels can happen unexpectedly and very quickly, police said. Prolonged exposure to the sun, wind and motion of the water may affect a person’s vision, balance, alertness and reaction times. “This can make it that much harder to rescue yourself, your friends and your family,” police said. PFD violations are taken very seriously and Wellington County OPP marine officers have a zero tolerance policy for those they find in contravention of the law with respect to this very simple piece of life-saving equipment. “Please play safe this summer and remember your PFD,” police say.

Planner satisfied with ministry role in monitoring water concerns at pit by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - Township council is expected to consider a draft bylaw amendment to allow an asphalt and concrete recycling operation after county planning staff indicated concerns about the province’s role in monitoring potential groundwater contamination have been satisfied. Moorefield Excavating has applied for a zoning amendment to permit the additional use of recycling asphalt, concrete, bricks, etc. in a small existing gravel pit on Concession 17 near Wellington Road 109. An area of just under a halfacre would be used to stockpile the material, which would be blended with sand and gravel. At the June 9 meeting Wellington County manager of planning and environment Mark Van Patter said he was “fairly sure” concerns would be

“We are talking about a very small area, 0.44 acres where a small amount of recycled material are being stored.” Wellington County planner Mark Van Patter

monitored by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF). He asked for time to consult with the ministry and council deferred a decision. At the July 14 meeting, Van Patter indicated in a written report the ministry would enforce the standards via the site plan amendment process and license. Van Patter stated he was advised by Kristy Sutherland, an aggregate technical special-

ist with the ministry, the site plan would require recyclable asphalt materials not be stockpiled within 30 metres of any water body or man-made pond; or two metres of the surface of the established water table. “I am satisfied with Ms. Sutherland’s response in terms of groundwater protection. Also, we are talking about a very small area, 0.44 acres, where a small amount (3,000 to 5,000 tonnes annually) of recycled materials are being stored,” Van Patter stated in his report. Van Patter indicated he considers an application by Moorefield Excavating to the MNRF to increase the allowable extraction from 30,000 to 100,000 tonnes per year, “as separate and unrelated to the current rezoning.” Council will consider the bylaw amendment on July 28.

Intervention policy - The GRCA has developed an intervention policy after an incident led them to remove one of the osprey chicks from a nest in Belwood on July 6. Pictured above is Fergus, the oldest chick, before being banded on June 26 by bird bander Dave Lamble. photo by Olivia Rutt

GRCA develops intervention policy after recent incident with osprey by Olivia Rutt BELWOOD - The Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) has developed an intervention policy for the Belwood osprey chicks after a recent incident led them to remove a bird from its nest. The youngest chick, Welley, was observed on the nest webcam with its foot stuck in the nest on July 6. “It appeared that one of the young bird’s ... band was stuck within the nest material and the bird was sort of fighting it. This was going on for quite a long time overnight and by the morning the bird was exhausted,” said GRCA spokesperson Dave Schultz. He explained that on the morning of July 7, bird bander Dave Lamble physically assessed the bird and deemed it exhausted but otherwise unharmed. However, the GRCA received many calls from con-

cerned observers that the bird was not doing well. “Through the morning, people are watching it, and it’s not looking very good. It’s kind of just lying there and not moving around, the other bird is feeding and it’s not, and so people were getting quite concerned about it,” said Schultz. The GRCA decided to take the osprey chick to the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph, where it received a penicillin shot and an intravenous feed. It was placed back in the nest by 4pm the same day and it has been doing well ever since. The ordeal led to the development of an intervention policy, which explains GRCA officials will not intervene in the nest. “In this particular case, because there was that connection to the bird banding we found it appropriate to take action, but there may be things that happen down the

road where you just have to let nature take its course,” said Schultz. He said the GRCA wanted to remind people that nature is not easy and that it is estimated that about 50 to 60 per cent of all osprey chicks do not survive their first year of life. “We wanted to explain to people that what we are providing with this camera is a window into nature, so what you’re seeing here is natural events - sometimes they’re not always pretty,” said Schultz. This is the first year for the live stream camera, and he said GRCA officials are learning about the process as they go. The chicks are expected to start flying by the end of July, but Schultz mentioned this may not be easy to watch, because they won’t initially be very good at it and they can get hurt. The chicks hatched in early June and were banded and T:10.25” named at the end of June.

It stands to reason that an extra set of hands makes for lighter work. When challenges mount it’s only natural to look for a partner. Quite often partnerships are great. In the best of circumstances working with others is a way to share the workload and really get moving ahead. When labour or activities are shared fairly and apportioned wisely, partners can add tremendous value by doing what they do best. It’s amazing how much can be accomplished. But the world is full of examples where partnerships fizzle and end in an irredeemable business relationship. Quite often one part of the equation slacks off a bit or takes the other for

granted. In time, resentment builds and bingo - the partnership dissolves. This outlook may give the appearance of being negative, but it’s an attitude borne of experience and perhaps why we have turned down many opportunities presented to us as a partnership. We have found it better for our operations to support those who support us by reciprocating service. That way everyone gets a fair shake and each party can do what they do best. People can cooperate without a full blown partnership arrangement. That is maybe why talk of partnerships a few weeks back when the premiers met for their summer conference got under our skin a little. It’s an-

quote from Michael Chong: “The passage of this act demonstrates Parliament capable of reform, renewal.” My challenge to Chong: let this reform and renewal translate into a new way of respecting and providing for our First Nations people rather than untold dollars being spent to re-elect a government totally lacking in compassion. I will close with a quote from Amy Tan, “Compassion is the highest form of creative expression.” Let it begin with clean drinking water and support for families on Shoal Lake Reserve.

Dear Editor: June 25 was one of those days when a few news clips from CBC, and a headline the following day in your paper came together as yet another crazy-making day in the life of Canada under the Harper government. The first story was about the First Nations People in Shoal Lake Reserve requesting a bridge/road off the Island where they live. This island was created in 1914 when Manitoba passed a law allowing for an aqueduct to be built to carry clean drinking water to Winnipeg - clean water that the city enjoys to this day. However, the people on the island are left with polluted water and a boiled water advisory. They are now requesting a bridge to allow them access from their homes to the mainland and the Trans Canada Highway as well as the opportunity to build a water treatment plant. Manitoba and the city of Winnipeg have each pledged one third of the cost for the project, while the federal government will offer $1 million for another design project but nothing more. Remember the Trans Canada Highway mentioned above, the feds are prepared to spend $100 million to “twin the road” through the very same reserve that they will only pledge $1 million to for a project design, not clean drinking water nor a safe, accessible bridge/ road for our First Nations people. Next story is about the memorial to honour the victims of communism on a piece of land originally designated for a supreme court justice building. This land is worth $16 million, possibly $30 million, and the cost for the memorial itself has jumped to $4 million. Not too shabby a gift in the amount that we the taxpayers are paying. And then the headline with the

other dose of political jargon that will only cost money and time. Premiers expressed a desire for a new partnership with the federal government. This they claimed would be the solution to funding issues. The same commentary will probably crop up at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference later this summer. There, municipal leaders will talk about the need for partnerships when really the need is cash. In essence those partnerships amount to sharing successes while leaving the doors open to blame the

other guy when actions don’t materialize. That type of banter goes on between federal and provincial politicians regularly. We believe it better to have each level of government skillfully handle issues under their jurisdiction. Otherwise, three sets of officials and three sets of bureaucrats will examine issues and merely complicate things. While the appeal of partnerships is understood, it will not stand as a panacea for the interwoven nature of government today.

Letters to the Editor

Problem solved Dear Editor: RE: Bicycle lanes. Okay, powers that be in Guelph. Take the telephone polls out of that green strip between the roadway and the sidewalk. Move those telephone poles over to the house side of the sidewalk. Take the grass off the green strip and pave it for the bicycles. Saves me mowing and trimming the strip. Problem solved! Peter Fleming Guelph

Bobble heads, ATMs Dear Editor: The responses to my letter about teachers were interesting. However, you missed my point. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for teachers. I taught night classes for a couple of years, and have taught ESL as a volunteer. My point is that our politicians and employees, and yes, even our employers (taxpayers) forget where the money comes from. There is only one purse, and that purse is you and me. There is not a “money tree” growing at city hall. When people say the “government”

is responsible, that is us. We are the government. Politicians are our employees. So are the bureaucrats, and all public sector employees. That includes doctors, nurses and hospital support staff. When taxes are increased regardless of the circumstances, we are the ones who will pay. When big business are asked to pay more taxes, we again are the ones who pay. I do not begrudge our employees making a decent wage. I do however expect them to respect us as their employers, and conduct themselves accordingly. The problem is that there is no accountability when it comes to mistakes that our employees make. In the private sector you are held accountable if you get caught stealing or spending your employer’s money, using your position to improve your personal status, or making sweetheart deals with suppliers that benefit you and your associates. In the private sector you would be arrested and charged. We have allowed our employees to get away with too much. We need to make our employees accountable for not doing their job. In the past we allowed a recent political party to steal $1 billion-plus from us. And then reward them with a majority vote. What is with that? I suppose we deserve everything we get. I only ask that you remember “we are the government” and we must demand that we get better then we are presently getting. We are not a bunch of bobble heads and walking ATM machines - or are we? Ashley Woods, Elora

Road rules Dear Editor: Various local road signs in Wellington County depict a horse and buggy and a tractor and state “Share the road ... Safe Communities.” This statement makes me laugh, but not in the funny sense! We all need to keep safe on our highways, having by law to show up-to-date tags and licence plates to identify ourselves, wear seatbelts and use proper seats for our children, and insurance to keep ourselves and others covered for accidents. The issues I have is that not all road users have these rules applied to them. I’ve written for many years to MPPs and Ministers of Transport to ask the questions regarding why all road users don’t have to show identification or so that any horse pulling a buggy when seen to be in fear or distress from either heat, cold or any other circumstances can be reported to the relevant authorities. But alas, there is no way to identify such road users as they are not required to show tags -

nor do they seem to have the relevant seatbelts, etc. that others are required to have. This sure doesn’t look safe and many horrible accidents occur. If you feel the same way please let your local MPP know - although do not expect much in the form of an answer. Through persistence maybe one day the MTO will make some amendments to our road rules? E. Wilson, Mount Forest

Democracy ingredients Dear Editor: Once again it’s an election year, with the party in power dispensing money on projects to buy votes. Don’t you know we have a large debt to pay that affects us and future generations? Seven years ago I wrote a letter about the stupidity of election-year advertising. Radio and TV ads this year border on slander. They are an insult to the recipient and to the electorate who want to know what you can do, not what others can’t do. After all, you are our employees, not vice versa as you seem to believe once elected. I believe that when we elect a representative in a constituency they should have to vote based on the wishes of voters who elected them, not vote along party lines. If you don’t know what the majority of people in your riding want, you should stay out of politics. This is a key ingredient in a true democracy and should be adhered to immediately. For our riding, people can write their wishes and concerns in letters to the editor. I wish to thank the Advertiser for allowing us to voice our opinions and concerns, and I hope politicians can read and act accordingly. Bob Walker, Fergus

‘Quarrying heritage’ Dear Editor: RE: Aggregates needed, July 10. Greg Sweetnam is 100 per cent correct when he says “quarries create civilization.” Without them we would not have the pyramids, the Taj Mahal, Michelangelo’s David, the great cathedrals of Europe, Butchardt Gardens or our own sturdy homes or roadways. The Aquaducts did indeed separate clean water from waste for the citizens of the Roman Empire and those same techniques improved over the centuries and are used to this very day. Our own CN Tower was a continuous concrete pour of one full year, accomplished by 1,500 workers and was deemed one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World in 1995!

CANADA’S BUSINESS

Dragon lady

The collapse of service Shopping has undergone momentous change. For instance, formerly grocery stores were a small outlet run by a sole proprietor. He would take orders from a customer, pack the goods and a cashier would collect the payment. Telephone offers were accepted, and that same day delivery was made. Nowadays, a great deal of service has disappeared. Shoppers must go to a chain store, push a cart down an aisle, fill a basket with the desired merchandise, and go to a cashier who would collect the charge. Even that has been revamped; customers can go to a screen, determine the amount owed, place their credit on it and pack their purchases. This self-service has become widespread, almost omnipresent. Nearly all gasoline stations are selfservice. Hitherto attendants would pump the fuel, check the tire pressure and all levels, and wash the windshield. No more. If one were to go to a department store, in all but a few retailers, a customer must go to great lengths to find a sales clerk, and often it is one who may be pre-occupied. For assistance with selection the customer is referred to the store manual or the internet. All measurements are made by the customer. Alternatively, the shopper must go online or patronize another store. Travel agents seldom offer worthwhile advice. One has to use a smart phone to obtain any help, so probably travel agencies will disappear. When one arrives at an airport, first a scan machine must be used for a boarding pass, then one must weigh and tag their luggage, pay for luggage handling, and look on a screen for the departure gate. This self-serve is a double-edged turn of events. It may help a retailer’s bottom line by dispensing with sales personnel. On the other hand, by eliminating any personal touch, online shopping gains adherents and customers may focus on price. Too, entry-level jobs are vanishing, which is unfortunate for young people. Some, of course, have followed a different course. Virgin Atlantic Airline offers a pleasant waiting room, reading material, soft drinks and obliging, courteous personnel. In general, the disappearance of service outweighs any benefits. It adversely affects the quality of life, as shopping becomes merely something to endure.

‘High regard’ patriotism Dear Editor: It is difficult to discern exactly when speaking out for the protection of Canada’s resources became unpatriotic. It is unfortunate that so many, including Advertiser editor Chris Daponte, were so offended by the display of local families, friends and neighbors that marched in blue to represent the voice of one of our nation’s most precious commodities. I ask you, if not at one of our town’s largest community events then when exactly is the right time to speak out and inform our community of injustices that directly and imminently affect them? Though the editorial stated the Wellington Advertiser is not against

Friends of Elora Water and their cause, the article and an accompanying editorial cartoon paint the group as a band of self-important wannabe activists that hijacked the Elora Canada Day Parade with no regard for the people of the community, or the cause for the festivities. This false depiction is, in my opinion, a misuse of local media as it detracts from a very important struggle that all members of the community, and our country needs to be aware of. This small act of civil protest was meant to bring attention to the exploitation of our local water table with the hope that parade onlookers would be affected in any way that they could be affected. The truth of the matter is that our water is only a part of the exploitation that Canada faces; our oil, our trees, and our minerals are being taken from our land and not at Canada’s gain. Now is the only time for community and local media to come together and spread awareness on such serious issues and create a positive impact. Activism and civil protests as a means

Barrie Hopkins BITS & PIECES The moment I saw them, the crazy little ditty of Harry McClintock rattled through my brain. Though probably written, sung and popular years before I struggled from my mother’s birth channel, this line in particular, without known reason, stuck strongly in my mind, and I quote: “a barefoot boy with shoes on, stood sitting in the grass.” Those whom I saw were young ladies, not boys, but they were barefoot and seemed to be enjoying the cool, soft, textured soils under their feet. They were neither standing, nor were they sitting; they were squatting in a position that I, a long time ago, found necessary to forget about. Oh! To be young again! This brought back memories of a little longer than long ago, when I was a little gaffer, “knee-high to a grasshopper,” as my uncle teasingly expressed it. From mid-April until well after the early white frosts of September, only tiny barefoot tracks were left across the grass; shoes were simply not worn by children. This was not unusual for young-

of creating awareness and protecting Canada’s resources is an act of patriotism of the high regard. Chelsea Campbell, Elora

Thoughtful message Dear Editor: Your July 10 editorial cartoon about the Canada Day parade was ridiculous at best and more like malicious misrepresentation. Thugs? Really? This group had children, teens, men and women of all ages including concerned grandmothers and, as your editorial noted, “several prominent community members and at least one local councillor.” We were also far better looking, much happier and fun, and the embodiment of democratic citizen involvement. What better way to celebrate our beloved Canada, rich in natural resources, so far, and a democratic country, so far? I heard applause, saw waves and thumbs up, and appreciation for the Continued on next page

Barefoot woofers

sters sporting a rural route address; it was just a sign of the times. Money saved on shoes not worn was usually sufficient to buy a brand-new pair when the coloured leaves came tumbling down later in the fall. Shoes outgrown were welcome hand-me-down gifts to younger siblings or neighbours’ kids of suitable size. Nothing was wasted; from where it came was never questioned. If the shoe fit, you wore it. The bare feet that I’m talking about belong to a couple of early-20s WWOOFers (from World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms), who hailed from different parts of Germany, having met only briefly here in Canada a couple of days before arriving, one after the other, four days apart, here at Westwind Farms. Having finished the morning barn chores, they had kicked off their high rubber barn boots, slipped on a pair of flip-flops, and headed directly to their goal of the day: weeding the multirowed, lengthy carrot patch. By the time Jenney, my jitney, and I managed to get to their loca-

tion, unable to do more than sit, chat and watch, it was quite evident, by the growing piles of wilting weeds accumulating beside the rows of tiny seedling carrots, that they well knew what they were doing. Their flip-flops lay where they tumbled, having been kicked off, upside down, on the soft worked up soils that surrounded. There is no possible way of me painting a verbal picture of the number of weeds that can grow in one small area, but the six-inch-wide rows of weedless lacy-leafed carrots are a thing of beauty, a work of art, which no one, and I repeat, no one, can deny. Believe me, folks, I’ve been there, done that, all through my growing-up years. Here at Westwind Farms, we are proud to show the gardens that the WWOOFers have helped create. There is no doubt, in my mind, that prayers are being answered, around the world, by the wanderlust of WWOOFers. Take care, ‘cause we care. barrie@barriehopkins.ca 519-986-4105

They say in marriage it is best not to rock the boat, but apparently it’s totally okay to smack your paddle into the water and splash your wife in the face. And so begins the first team sport the Carpenter and I have attempted together: dragon boats. When my friend Amy asked me to join her dragon boat team, “Strokes of Genius,” I laughed. She’s athletic; I am not, so I assumed she was kidding. But Amy insisted, “You don’t need to row. You can be the team drummer.” Wait, what? I could cheer and play drums? Snap. I’m in. The team also needed muscle and the Carpenter needed another excuse to see a chiropractor, so we signed up together. You should know that we are rarely seen in public together and neither of us are “joiners,” so this was a big step out of our mutual comfort zone. For the first practice, I was out-ofmy-element nervous. Bear in mind, I have never yelled at anyone beyond my children, and even they don’t listen. I had no idea what I was doing, yet I instinctively knew I was going to enjoy it. My son’s former hockey and rugby coaches, school teacher and some of my dearest friends, not to mention my beloved spouse - they were all in this boat. There I sat, at the helm of a 20-person crew, yelling out the counts in unison with the team coach, learning to keep the pace and set the rhythm. Sure enough, after the first practice, the Carpenter landed in the chiropractor’s office. The pain did not deter him. The dragon boat seemed to light his fire. He had a look in his eye I had forgotten, but was happy to see rekindled. It was the look of competitive spirit, drive and the desire to win. Sexy. After the second practice, the team was coming together and I was finding my voice. By the third practice, I realized how good this yelling thing was for me. I blew off a lot of steam without hurting anyone’s feelings. It was my job to bark orders. They wanted me to. In fact, they wanted me to yell louder. Last Saturday was the big race day at Guelph Lake. We were up against experienced teams competing in three 200-metre races and the ultimate challenge: two kilometres. We may not have won, but I am proud to say with each race, we beat our own time, and we beat some strong teams. The 2km race was intense. We caught up to one boat where the drummer tried psyching us out, swearing at his team. That’s when it all clicked for me. My job was to believe in my team, so they would believe in themselves. From my seat I had the privilege of watching my crew paddle together with such power it was inspiring. I saw the determination on their faces as they pushed themselves beyond their physical limits, united to win. I yelled like I have never yelled in my life, shouting words like “believe” and “you’ve got this.” The Strokes of Genius didn’t win but we held our own. I now understand the power of adrenaline. Momentum is magic. Sometimes you have to rock your boat to find your balance. Stepping out of your comfort zone can breathe a little fire into your life. Paddles up.

Letter to the Editor: Residential chicken coops problematic

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE thoughtfulness of the message. The group was, again as the editorial pointed out, “thoughtful, well-meaning advocates with a genuine belief in the cause.” That cause is the protection of our water from a large Swiss corporation that is attempting to buy the Middlebrook well in order to take 1.6 million litres of water per day, and truck it to Aberfoyle, in order to fill 3.2 million plastic water bottles per day to sell them at a huge profit. Thorny issue indeed! Donna McCaw, Elora

At a parade one thing that can bring tears to my eyes is watching our veterans march by - a reminder of what they fought for. The participation of Friends of Elora Water in the Canada Day Parade also provided a sense of patriotism for me. From coast, to coast, to coast Canada is affected by the pumping and selling of fresh water from our aquifers. Many citizens groups are working together to hold corporations and governments accountable for their actions. I believe there is no better place than at a community event, such as Canada Day, to be informed of an assault on our country’s natural resources and the wellbeing of our citizens. There is no better time than now to be engaged in preventing further erosion of our democracy. Joyce Sloat, RR1 Alma

No better time, place Dear Editor: RE: The July 10 editorial (Not the time or place). On July 1 our family attended the Canada Day parade in Elora. I had a totally different response to the Friends of Elora Water participation than Daponte’s. The Oxford Dictionary indicates that patriotic means “having or expressing devotion to and vigorous support for one’s country.”

Focus on unity Dear Editor: I wonder if those who are supportive of the Friends of Elora Water protest in the

Canada Day parade would be equally in favor of other demonstrations in the parade. Would they approve a group of Conservatives chanting pro-Harper slogans? Or some anti-euthanasia activists protesting the Supreme Court ruling? How about a pro-wind turbine group? Or a faction of citizens who are disturbed by the library expansion? On Canada Day, maybe we should just focus on celebrating what unites Canadians. John and Andrea Black, Elora

July 1 for celebrating Dear Editor: It was a surprising to read people’s indignation for an editorial decrying a group protesting at the annual Dominion Day parade in Elora. July 1 is a party day. It is not for foisting political opinions on people. I noticed the Wellington Water Watchers website gushed that 400 people signed the group’s petition. Considering Centre Wellington has nearly 30,000 people, that’s hardly a coup. I bet more enjoyed the July 1 pancake and sausage

breakfast. The Advertiser has given the Water Watchers a fair share of publicity over the years and I ought to know, since I provided some of it, including a protest march to Nestle from Guelph. That seemed to me then, and now, a reasonable way to raise awareness of their cause. Disrupting a birthday party is not. Protesting is fun and exciting. I remember that from my youth. Work is much tougher. I wonder how many “watchers” have bothered to try to improve local streams and rivers like Friends of the Grand River and the Ontario Streams groups do. That is real work. As for the parade organizers, what happens next year if pro-lifers and anti-abortionists apply to march? Dominion Day and its parade need to remain a celebration of Canada’s birthday, and not a venue for political movements. We’ve got the rest of the year for that. David Meyer, Chatham

Chicken coops

Dear Editor: RE: Minto ponders proposal for backyard chicken coops, July 17. Although I believe that there should not be too much of a problem with responsible people raising chickens in their own backyards, there are so many problems with this as I have seen. It is true that when responsible people bring animals into residential areas, the animals are treated as pets and pets become part of the family. Not everyone is responsible though! While the City of Guelph has a couple of laws on the books, as far as chickens are concerned, enforcement seems to be the problem, even though Minto Mayor George Bridge believes otherwise! Guelph bylaw officers and the humane society on Nov. 21 (remember last November was the coldest in decades) both stated that chickens are allowed in Guelph. When reminded that animals need fresh water and seasonable housing, I was told by both that “they are just chickens!” So how is Minto going to

patrol any problems that might arise? Maybe some people want to visit my home in the 30C weather (higher with the humidex) and see how they like the ammonia smells that I have to put up with! It’s unfortunate that a few seem to want to ruin it for many. John McCuaig, Guelph

Successful gala Dear Editor: I wish to thank all those who attended and supported the first annual Wellington North Fire Chief’s Gala. It was a huge success with over $23,000 raised in support of the Louise Marshall Hospital Foundation. I would like to extend a special note of thanks to councillors Sherry Burke and Dan Yake, as well as Joanne Young of the Mount Forest Home Hardware and Jane Ford of the hospital foundation.

by Mike Robinson ELORA - A proposed subdivision in Fergus could see 16 more families accessing Garafraxa Street between Victoria Terrace and Gzowski Street. The Jennark Homes proposal and draft plan of condominium was outlined during a public meeting on July 21. The zoning amendment requested would switch the zoning from ‘R2’ Residential to ‘R4’ Residential Exception, which would accommodate a residential development including eight stacked townhouses (16 units), a single detached dwelling, open space and parking. The subject land is at 367 Garafraxa St. E. in Fergus. Jennark Homes’ planning consultant Astrid Clos explained the zone change applies to 367 and 369 Garafraxa Street East. Clos noted to the north of the property are the Forfar apartments, to the east an environmental protection area and drainage channel, to the south single detached and semi-detached homes, and to the west Victoria Terrace Public School. She said the zone change would allow stacked townhouses on the property. One provision in the request is a minimum lot frontage of 10m (onto Garafraxa) while the current township minimum is 20m. “There simply isn’t 20 metres of space to access the back piece,” Clos said, adding the plan provides 24 parking spaces and the common amenity area actually exceeds township requirements. Clos said the proposed three-and-a-half storey buildings would be compatible with nearby developments. The second purpose of the zone change affects the portion of the property known as 369 Garafraxa, which is the other half of the semi-detached structure. Clos explained that when the site is developed one of the semi-detached units will be demolished for the creation of a laneway to the townhouses - but the other unit would remain. The rezoning would transform the building into a single family home, but with zero side yard. She indicated the original semi-detached units were constructed so they could exist separately. She said an informal meeting was held on May 28 to answer neighbours’ questions. Councillor Stephen Kitras asked about the proposed parking of 24 spaces, four of which are assigned as visitor parking. He suggested if most families have two cars the number of spaces is insufficient. “In this community most people commute ... so this is a real possibility,” Kitras said. Clos said anyone purchasing the units will be assigned a parking space. “If they have two cars, this is not going to be the home for them.” Kitras also wondered if there was a roads study regarding the extra traffic going onto Garafraxa Street at such a narrow entrance. Clos said no traffic study was requested by the municipality due to the relatively low density. However, she added Wellington County may still request a traffic impact study.

AND

ENTERTAINMENT Local singer/songwriter on the rise in country music industry by Jaime Myslik MOUNT FOREST - After a lifetime of work and preparation, Brittany Brodie’s county singing and songwriting career is on the rise. The 29-year-old Mount Forest artist released her first single in five years on July 13 called Together Never Alone, a tribute to her parents. The single was sent to all the country music radio stations in Canada, she said. “I come from a truck driving family and my mom has worked full-time always but my dad, growing up, he worked for Labatts and he was gone Monday to Friday, home Friday night, gone Sunday,” she said. “My dad literally (worked a) hundred hours a week or more and would do anything for anybody. “And I know there’s a lot of people that can relate to this song, whether or not they’re a truck driver, somebody that’s away from home and keeping it together and calling each other and talking at night and hearing what happened during the day and they’re together never alone.” Brodie’s father, Al Brodie, was actually one of the earliest influences on her musical career. “I remember vividly, we grew up in Salem, I remember sitting on a rocking chair … with my dad, sitting on his knee,” she said. “We were watching the (Grand Ole) Opry and I just remember saying, ‘I’m going to do that.”’ She was three years old and she said from that point she has always known singing was her path. “Dad said a neighbour told them one time when they heard me screaming because I’d

scream for a really long time and like go up and down, some neighbour said, ‘that girl’s going to be a singer,’” Brodie remembered. “I’ve been performing live since (I was) eight years old.” Even her name evokes an impression of stardom. She said she is often asked if it’s fake. “They think it’s fake because it goes together so good and I love that,” she said. “That is such a sweet thing to me that I have such a cool name and it does sound perfect for a country singer.” Brodie competed in area competitions and at fall fairs throughout her childhood and teen years. “My parents took me everywhere,” she said. “They sacrificed everything for me.”

Brodie remembered when her dad would drive her to a singing gig even when he’d just returned home from 100 hours of truck driving, sometimes going as far as Ottawa. Eventually she knew she needed to end up in Nashville, the gathering spot for country music artists. When she was 18 she journeyed to the city with her dad, the goal being to pound the pavement, get noticed and distribute her demo CDs. “That’s a learning curve I’ll tell you,” Brodie said. “You know you just hear what you hear and see what you see and you don’t really know until you’re there.” Brodie has since travelled to Nashville multiple times to collaborate with other artists, write music and record music.

During her latest trip to Nashville in May, Brodie wrote, produced and recorded three new singles in just one week that will be released in the upcoming months. “As soon as I was off the plane I got settled, got my rental car and was right off to a session writing,” she said. A lot of her success came from finding good writing partners. She wrote Together Never Alone with Don Gallardo, a Nashville-based Americana/ folk singer-songwriter who’s had music on shows like The Vampire Diaries. “We started talking and we were just playing and it was just flowing and it took, I don’t even know if we were an hour and a half,” she said. She was surprised by how fast the process went. “Together Never Alone totally came out of the blue,” she said. “We just started talking about my parents and then we started writing a song.” Between her trip to Nashville and the release of Together Never Alone, Brodie worked to promote herself within the country music community, and she has been succeeding. She landed a showcase performance at the Canadian Country Music Association CELEBRATING

TorQ Percussion Quartet back at Elora Festival ELORA - With repertoire ranging from sweetly lyrical works for mallet instruments, to no-holds-barred, high-energy percussive show pieces, TorQ Percussion Quartet’s fundamental objective is to share the variety and vitality of percussion with their unique

programs. After taking part in the Elora Festival’s production of Carmina Burana in 2013, TorQ is back at the festival’s premiere venue with a program featuring a wide variety of instruments; both conventional and unconventional

– and repertoire ranging from John Cage and Eric Whitacre to their own compositions and arrangements. They will showcase numerous musical styles, intricate beats, and of course, incredible artistry on July 24 at 7:30pm at the Gambrel Barn in Elora.

(CCMA) awards where she will be performing two songs on the Diamonds in the Ruff stage at the Delta Halifax in Halifax, Nova Scotia on Sept. 12. “I was planning on going anyway and … I was just hanging on by the last thread waiting to hear from them if I got this or not and if not I was going to set up my own little thing there and advertise at it all over, but now this makes it even that much better,” she said. “It’s totally going to be awesome.” Brodie said it’s important for artists to be present at industry functions otherwise they’re forgotten. “If you’re doing this for a career you need to be on top of it, you need to go there and you need to network,” she said. “You need to be meeting people, letting them know who you are, letting them see you because they don’t know who I am.” In addition to her showcase, the clothing company Long Tall Sally, a store that Brodie has shopped at since she was young, has recently acknowledged her. “Brittany Brodie’s star is rising,” a company spokesperson said in an email. “The 6’1” country music singer/songwriter is a life-long friend of Long Tall Sally, the world’s go-to destination for tall style. Long Tall Sally is proud to support Brittany and wishes her the very best on her journey.” Long Tall Sally specializes in clothing for tall women and has stores in Canada, the U.S., the United Kingdom and Germany. The company provided Brodie with a summer wardrobe. However, not everything always came easily for the country music artist. About three years ago she questioned her decision to pursue music as a career. “You work your whole life at it and that’s what I’ve been doing and then you just kind of take that time and step back for a bit and realize, ‘okay what isn’t working and why aren’t I having the success, why aren’t things going as I planned?’ But then again that is the business,” she said. “You have to keep with it. Some people work at

it for 40 years until something happens.” She stepped away from music for two years for a nineto-five job, but her country music roots drew her back last summer. “I wasn’t doing anything I loved, I was just working to make money and that’s not what life’s about,” she said. “You’re supposed to love what you do. “I don’t want to wake up when I’m 35 or 40 and be like what … am I doing? I have to do this.” Since her decision to come back, her career has picked up momentum. “The last few months I’ve been so happy because I’ve been doing my thing and you work your ass off but you’re doing it and making things happen,” she said. “I’ve been making things happen this year because it’s hard work and determination and I believe that when you’ve put everything, like every fibre of your being into one thing and you just know that’s what you’re meant to do, that it will happen, the universe has to make that happen.” Brodie’s new single Together Never Alone is available on every country radio station across Canada and on iTunes. “I’ve always supported everything around here and I’ve always supported things around the county and I just hope that people will support me and go and buy it on iTunes because that’s important,” she said. “Whatever [your] local station is, call and request it, please.“ To find out more about Brodie visit https://www.facebook.com/brittanybrodiemusic. “Don’t ever give up on what you believe,” Brodie said. “You can do what you know is what you’re meant to do because it’s very discouraging, doors could slam in your face, you get told you’re too skinny or too fat, you’re too country, you’re not pop enough. “Everybody has an opinion and it doesn’t mean it’s right. You know what’s right for you and eventually somebody’s going to come into line with that and accept that.”

Drayton Entertainment to stage Mamma Mia! musical in 2016

DRAYTON - Drayton Entertainment artistic director Alex Mustakas has announced Mamma Mia! will be the award-winning theatre organization’s flagship production for the 2016 season. The production will play at the Drayton Festival Theatre, Dunfield Theatre Cambridge, Huron Country Playhouse and King’s Wharf Theatre. Drayton Entertainment is one of several regional theatre companies throughout North America granted the rights to

the coveted hit musical, states a July 17 press release from the company. The coup is the result of Mustakas trying for the last decade to secure what is arguably considered the world’s most highly sought-after theatre production, which finishes its epic 14-year run on Broadway in September. “Mamma Mia! is going to be a landmark production for our organization and is certainly one of the most prestigious productions to ever take centre

stage,” said Mustakas. “We are excited to have the opportunity to produce our own version of this iconic musical and share it with enthusiastic audiences throughout the province.” Mustakas made similar waves throughout the theatre industry in 2013 when he secured the rights to premiere the first regional production of Disney’s Mary Poppins, which he followed up in 2014 with Les Misérables and Disney’s The Little Mermaid. “We are thrilled that

Drayton Entertainment has been chosen as one of the first companies in Canada to produce Mamma Mia!,” said John Green, president of Drayton Entertainment’s board of directors. “The show has universal appeal – it’s fun and upbeat and sure to entertain audiences of all ages. It also has the necessary popularity to attract bus tours, day trippers, and overnight travellers, which will bolster tourism in the areas immediately servicing and surrounding our theatres.”

The production is a bona fide global phenomenon, seen by over 54 million people around the world. The original West End production is now in its 16th year and has celebrated over 6,000 performances in London. The international tour has visited more than 74 foreign cities in 35 countries, thrilling over 4.3 million fans. The blockbuster feature film adaptation of Mamma Mia! starring Meryl Streep is the most successful movie musical of all time, grossing

over $600 million worldwide. Employing the chart-topping catalogue of Swedish super-group ABBA, Mamma Mia! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family. The 2016 performance schedule will be announced at a later date. Tickets for Mamma Mia!, as well as the other 2016 shows, will go on sale to members of Drayton Entertainment this fall.

Canadian music students gather for Summer Sizzle 2015 camp by Lynne Turner MOUNT FOREST - About 100 music students, along with music teachers, parents and composers from across Canada and beyond were in Mount Forest from July 19 to 21 to take part in Summer Sizzle 2015. The event is “a keyboard kamp and pedagogy symposium” presented by Northern Lights Canadian National Conservatory of Music (CNCM). The symposium returned to Mount Forest after being held in Yorkton, Saskatchewan last year. Debra Wanless, a pedagogy specialist born and raised in Palmerston who now travels across Canada and the United States as a pedagogy specialist and clinician, said the Mount Forest event is a historical one. “Nowhere in Canada does this happen,” she said during the opening ceremonies on July 19. “Nowhere in Canada can music students meet so many professional composers for not an hour, not a day, but for three days under one roof.” This year’s theme was “an Exploration of Impressionism” and each group of students was assigned a Canadian composer/ musician. Leading the various groups were Jen Smith Lanthier, Beth Hamilton, Tyler Seidenberg, Randy Demmon and John Burge. Meanwhile, specialized workshops were held for the music teachers on a range of topics. “Many composers … trav-

Beatlemania was revisited on that date and many of the folks who attended remembered when they were teenagers and engrossed in that kind of music. The audience sang along to their favourite songs, clapped their hands and did the wave that was invented at that time. It was thoroughly fun and a happy time on a hot sweltering evening but inside the lovely air conditioned theatre everyone was comfortable. photo by Bill Longshaw

Burge was the keynote speaker at a semi-formal gala convocation dinner on July 19. Smith Lanthier performed a dinner recital. Burge has written many vocal, chamber, orchestral and choral works and currently teaches at Queen’s University in Kingston. Smith Lanthier teaches private piano and theory lessons in the Inglis Falls area, near Owen Sound, and also composes music. Ted Ellis, a founding member of CNCM and a guest clinician at Summer Sizzle 2015, performed a lunch recital on July 20. The long-time piano teacher said he “considers it a privilege to be able to help students along their path to becoming self-reliant musicians.” Monday evening’s dinner concert was by West Froese, a composer performer and music educator in Saskatoon who spent a year studying at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. His piano compositions are widely published. The concert was followed by a Canadian jazz concert hosted by Froese and performed by “keyboard kamp” students. The “keyboard kamp” wound up late Tuesday afternoon with “Kids and Composition” and each group of children introducing and performing music they had composed during the week. The Summer Sizzle Choir also performed prior to the closing ceremonies.

Fire chief encourages home safety plans

Ag society to celebrate 175th anniversary at 2015 fair FROM PAGE TWO year made a presentation to the society. “He said it was going to be great ... then asked for a large deposit. We said ‘thanks, but no thanks’,” explained McKay. He added, “Our fair isn’t really aimed at the upper to midteens, it is more for the young families and kids and that is who we want to cater to.” Councillor Susan Fielding said she also looks forward to this year’s fair, adding, “We’re going to hold Don totally responsible for the weather.” Tilt also stated there are rumours the threshing bee will have a saloon - and organizers wanted to nip that in the bud. “I’ve never heard of a threshing bee with a saloon,” he said. Mayor Dennis Lever said he is looking forward to the event, noting, “175 years is a pretty big deal.” Initially known as the Puslinch Agricultural Society when it was formed in 1840, the society continues to survive, aiming to increase the awareness of, and improve the quality of agriculture, home crafts and the rural lifestyle.

ture fire with people trapped ... and that’s what the call was.” On arrival, the structure was fully involved. “Fortunately, the residents had a working smoke alarm and it alerted them. But the fire progressed so fast they couldn’t use their primary exit point the front door - and had to escape through a bathroom window,” Goode explained. “If it wasn’t for a bystander driving by, the circumstances would have been different. “What I would stress to people is that you not only need the tools to inform you there is an incident going on, but you need a home escape plan that doesn’t require bystanders.” Goode also suggested residents contact Puslinch Fire and Rescue Services for a free home inspection. Smoke alarms Goode added that if anyone in the household sleeps with the bedroom door closed, install an alarm inside their bedroom. Never remove batteries from a smoke alarms. If nuisance alarms are a problem, try moving the alarm to another location or purchase an alarm with a “hush feature” that temporar-

ily silences the alarm. Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years. Goode also asked residents to test smoke alarms once a month and replace the batteries every year. “Make sure that everyone in the household knows what to do if the smoke alarm sounds,” he said. Carbon monoxide He advocated residents learn more about Ontario’s new CO Alarm Law. “Many lives could be saved and suffering could be prevented if citizens were fully informed and capable of recognizing and preventing the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.” He said preventive efforts such as checking furnace flues, chimneys, and vents could help to alleviate the hazard. The use of good common sense in not using open flames, ovens and other appliances not intended for heating could reduce the number of carbon monoxiderelated incidents. It’s also recommended that homeowners have their complete heating systems inspected before every heating season.

Plan for summer heat

GUELPH - Summer heat is here and public health reminds everyone to plan. Everyone is at risk from heat, so it’s good to have a summer safety plan to prevent heat illness. This is particularly important for those most vulnerable, including older adults, infants and children, and those with chronic illnesses. Consequently, the public is advised to monitor weather forecasts and be prepared with a plan for hot and humid days.

Summertime heat precautions should include drinking plenty of cool liquids before feeling thirsty; planning outdoor activities during cooler parts of the day; and making a habit of checking on elderly family, friends and neighbours on hot and humid days. It’s good to plan regular breaks from the heat by spending a few hours in a cool place. It could be a tree-shaded area, or an airconditioned spot such as a shopping mall, grocery store or public library.

Grand Taste donation - Once again the Rotary Club of Centre Wellington held a successful event, raising $22,000 at its 10th annual Grand Taste this spring. Proceeds from this much anticipated event will be designated towards the purchase of the digital mammography machine for Groves Memorial Community Hospital. Groves officials said they would like to thank the Centre Wellington Rotary Club for its continued support. From left: Grand Taste co-chairs Ellen Pearson, Noreen Winter and Denise Pukarowski; executive director of Groves Hospital Foundation Lori Arsenault; and Groves Hospital Foundation board member Dick Haas.

by Mike Robinson ABERFOYLE - Is your home fire safe? In his presentation to council on July 15, Puslinch fire chief Steven Goode said his message to the community this month is “Please have an escape plan. Know two ways out, and practice your fire escape plan today.” In June, council asked staff to include information on the fire home safety campaign with August tax installment envelopes. Goode said the campaign involves a number of key topics including smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and fire escape plans. Information also included details on emergency management and creating a home emergency kit and preparing for emergencies. It also provides key contact information in case of emergencies, he said. Goode noted that in early July, Puslinch, Centre Wellington, Guelph and Guelph-Eramosa firefighters responded to an event in Guelph-Eramosa. “There is nothing more sickening to hear on the pager than there is a confirmed struc-

County launches signage plan to created unified look and feel

WELLINGTON COUNTY - The County of Wellington has officially launched its first ever Wellington Signage Plan project. Approved in the county’s 2015 economic development budget, the plan will utilize signs to create a unified look and feel across Wellington County and distinguish Wellington from its neighbouring municipalities. In addition, the initiative will create a for-profit program that local businesses can use to leverage their exposure. “The county takes great pride in all aspects of its capital projects,” said Wellington County economic development officer Jana Reichert. “We know this signage plan will be in accordance with this and be reflective of our history and our

strengths as a region.” The plan will incorporate three phases over the next several years. The phases are defined as entrance signs on county boundary roads, directional/wayfinding signage and business/tourism signage. The county plan is engaging residents and businesses through an online survey (www.wellington.ca/signage) and public information sessions throughout the summer. Those living in the north end of the county participated in two focus groups on July 22 in Harriston and Fergus. Two additional focus groups will be held on Aug. 5: - at Centre 2000, 14 Boland Drive, Erin, 9 to 11 am; and - at the Puslinch Community Centre, 23 Brock Road South, Aberfoyle, 1 to 3pm.

The county states it is working closely with member municipalities, “recognizing that communities are at different stages with respect to signage and that each has a distinct identity.” In 2014 as part of its Business Retention and Expansion project, the county conducted 278 in-person interviews to help it identify and focus on the most important issues. Signage and promotion of the community was a top priority. Noted in one response, “One does not know where the county starts and stops and more importantly, how Wellington differentiates itself from its neighbours.” Wellington is unique in that it has the most neighbours in Ontario. A draft plan is expected to be ready for early fall.

and Wellington North make up the lion’s share of the cost/ workload in this phase. McElwain asked if this includes areas where the township may be seeking new sources of water. “At this point no,” said Davies. The funding from the province is to deal with existing municipal wellheads, he said. Nestlé water taking permit Morris asked what happens should Nestlé’s water taking be approved. “Is this something which would be studied by this consultant as a possible threat because of the potential amount of water which could be taken?” Davies said this expert advice work is being set up as a request for proposal. He noted the consultant could be brought in since one of the areas of experts is hydrogeology. However, Davies said the township already has its own hydrogeologist. Council approved the recommendation.

of properties being reviewed are as follows: - Centre Wellington, 108; - Mapleton, 8; - Wellington North, 150; - Town of Erin, 17; and - Township of Puslinch, 8. Davis noted the $43,650 is for the site visits in 2015 while the costs associated with providing expert advice in 2016 and 2017 would be subject to budget approval. He described the cost as “more of a retainer.” Councillor Kirk McElwain asked about the criteria used to identify properties within municipal wellhead protection areas. These include properties 100m from the well and a twoyear time frame for the water to travel from the site to the well. Councillor Fred Morris asked specifically what Centre Wellington’s portion of the cost was. Davies responded it is $16,200 - using provincial funding. The cost listed in the report was to undertake work in all five municipalities. He noted Centre Wellington

highest score and lowest cost of $43,650, excluding the HST. Centre Wellington’s portion is $16,200. The report to council noted that 2015 costs are funded by a grant from the Ontario Source Protection Municipal Implementation Fund. Costs for 2016 and 2017 will be subject to budget approvals. Davis, Wellington County’s source water risk management official, said the recommendation comes in relation to commercial, industrial and institutional properties. The work is split into two components - the first, to be completed in 2015 using provincial funding, is in essence field verification and education including discussion with property owners regarding source water protection requirements. The second part in 2016 and 2017 is the retention of expert advice in a number of areas relating to source water protection. Locations and the number

The proposal was advertised on the township’s website and the approved website www. opba.ca. Thirty-four direct invitations were sent, 23 entities registered as bid takers on the township’s e-procurement website, and four firms submitted a response. The bids were scored by a selection committee comprised of risk management official Kyle Davis, Township of Wellington North process compliance analyst Melissa Irvine, and Town of Minto drinking water source protection and building assistant Stacey Pennington.

This advice is anticipated to be in the form of review and advice on risk management plans and templates are being negotiated or written by Wellington Source Water Protection. Officials anticipate properties receiving site visits include those with industrial, commercial or institutional land use only, and the threat activities are therefore related to those land uses (i.e. fuel handling, chemical handling). The township’s purchasing policy requires: - council approval of any proposal having an expected value of more than $10,000; - proposal unit values or contents not be disclosed and held in confidence; - a selection committee is to be identified and will be re-

Mapleton youth prepares to compete at junior Pan Am Games in Edmonton by Caroline Sealey GOLDSTONE - Victory at a national decathlon competition has earned a local resident the chance to compete internationally. After finishing in the top two and making the standard at his first national decathlon competition in Ottawa in June, 18-year-old Goldstone resident, Nathaniel Mechler has qualified to compete at the Pan American Junior Championships in Edmonton. “I will be competing on July 31 and Aug. 1 in Edmonton. My goal is to gain international experience and set a new Canadian Junior record in each of the 10 events,” Mechler stated. Day one events include the 100-metre race, long jump, shot put, 400-metre race and high jump. On day two, Mechler will be competing in 110-metre hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and 1,500-metre race. Each event is assigned a number of points and the athlete with the highest total score wins the gold medal. “During competition, I focus on one event at a time. Both days are mentally and physi-

cally challenging. At the end of day one, an athlete is tired. Starting into day two muscles are tight and sore, making for a long day,” Mechler said. school, elementary In Mechler couldn’t decide which track and field event to compete in, as he enjoyed them all. Over the years he has competed in all 10 events and has become a top athlete in each sport. For the remainder of July, Mechler will be training six days a week at the First Attempts Jumps Academy in Waterloo. As a member of the Canadian National Team, he will be led by the Team Canada coach, whom he will meet upon arrival in Edmonton. “I am blessed with a great family, coaches, teammates and the good Lord in Heaven to help pick me up,” Mechler explained. After competing in Edmonton, Mechler will complete a victory lap at Elmira District Secondary School focusing on courses leading to athletic programs in Canada or the U.S. “Ideally, I would like to

Arthur-bred horse wins bronze at Pan Am Games by Jaime Myslik ARTHUR – Bill Owen, a horse bred and raised in Arthur, helped earn the Canadian team of four the bronze medal in team eventing at the Pan Am Games last weekend. The 12-year-old horse spent his first six and a half years with Vivianne Macdonald at Kintyre Arabians and Sport Ponies Barn in Arthur. When he was sold Macdonald said the horse was broken for riding but hadn’t had any training in eventing. “His rider, present owner, said that the first two or three months he had him it was just nothing but trying to get him to settle down and work and then he took him to his first event and the horse said, ‘Oh this is what you want me to do,’” Macdonald explained. “And he just absolutely loves it.” The team eventing competition took place on July 17 to and 19 and Bill Owen didn’t get off to a great start. The horse and rider/owner Waylon Roberts didn’t score high in dressage, the first round

three horses to complete and Macdonald said they were considering dropping Bill Owen because of his lower dressage score. However, another Canadian horse and rider pair fell during the cross-country portion of the competition so Bill Owen ended up on the roster for stadium jumping on the final day. “When they went … he had one rail down and that was all and so the Canadians got third place, got a bronze medal,” Macdonald said with pride in her voice. For Macdonald, the experience of seeing a horse she raised competing and winning a bronze medal at such an elite level was overwhelming. “I was just crying,” she said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I would never have thought that I would have a horse that would go that way but it shows how much talent the horse has - and his rider.” For more information about Bill Owen, check out page two of the Equine feature included in this week’s Wellington Advertiser.

MAPLETON - Township ball diamonds will be the location for site ‘A’ of the U-12 Provincial Squirt Girls Division qualifying tournament from July 31 to Aug. 2. Palmerston Marlins will host the Provincial Women’s Softball Association at both the Moorefield and Drayton ball diamonds for a 25-game schedule. Marlins vice-chairman Kelly Culp, a Mapleton resident, stated, “I am excited to host a provincial qualifier in Mapleton, we have a great facility in Moorefield and our committee has met with the township’s parks coordinator Rich Hurren, and the Drayton diamonds will be in great shape when the teams show up to play.” When the qualifier site bids were released and it was realized the Palmerston Marlins had a conflict with their home Palmerston fields, the Moorefield Athletic

Association and Mapleton Township were quick to accept the prestigious tournament rental from the Marlins. The local Palmerston team will play host to 12 other Ontario teams from Lucan, Corunna, Chatham, Cambridge, Springfield, Tavistock, two from Waterloo, two from Guelph and two from Windsor. The tournament will seed the teams for the provincial grand championships in Windsor Aug. 14 to 16. The Marlins Squirt team is made up of 12 girls from surrounding minor ball clubs who chose the competitive stream of the sport and travel to Palmerston to play under the 22-year-old Palmerston Marlins banner. Admission to the provincial tournament is free. For a full schedule visit http://www.ontariopwsa.com/ Competition/Championships. aspx.

Dragon boat races hit the water at Guelph Lake last weekend

On your mark Guelph Lake Conservation Area was the site of the Guelph Dragon Boat Challenge and The University Triple Crown hosted by Lively Dragon Events on July 18. Top Left: Athletes make their way to the competitor lanes. Strokes of Genius - Taking part in the event was the team “Strokes of Genius,” a group of friends from Elora, Fergus, Mount Forest and Ariss, with members from Cambridge and Oakville too, gathered together in the spirit of competition by team captain Amy Strachan. The team competed in the sports community division, with three 200m races and a 2km finale. It was a first-time adventure for many members of the crew, which beat its time in each race and made it to the finals with a fourth place finish. submitted photo

would process the applications. CAO Karen Landry stressed that processing does not mean such applications would be approved by council. “It would be evaluated and if the project is over 1,000m3 it is still subject to the public process,” said Landry. Lever asked what happens if the application is denied and the material has already been dumped illegally. As for new projects, “if they didn’t get it in today, they are out of luck.” Landry said for those dumping illegally, council’s action would be to take them to court. Council passed the motion.

Large-scale site alteration applications no longer accepted from page one Roth contended “it’s still illegal dumping and they should be made to remove it.” Lever said illegal dumping will need to be treated in the same way as it is treated now “It’s illegal.” Roth argued against any move which would allow individuals to maintain what has already been dumped illegally.

New signs at markets show

where local wines are sold This year, the province celebrated its second annual Local Food Week reminding Ontarians to sample and support local food, including Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA) wines are available at farmers’ markets. As part of the province’s strategy to increase awareness of the good things that are grown, made and harvested in Ontario, the province launched a first-of-its-kind pilot program last year to allow VQA wines to be sold at farmers’ markets. Since launching in 2014, 78 wineries and 172 farmers’ markets across the province have participated in the pilot program, with sales of more than $1 million dollars.

Now that the pilot project is in its second year, Ontarians can find world class VQA wines at their local farmers’ market by looking for a purple VQA sign, or by using the mobile-friendly map to find a market participating in the pilot. Quick facts - There are approximately 200 farmers’ markets and more than 145 wineries that produce VQA in Ontario; - VQA wines are made from 100 per cent Ontario grown grapes; - The province has implemented the VQA wines at farmers’ market pilot program through the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to ensure that wine

sales are conducted in a socially responsible manner; and - Ontario’s agri-food sector contributes $34.8 billion to the GDP and supports 780,000 jobs, about one in every 9 jobs. Coming events Aug. 7 to 9 - Drayton Fair. For more information, contact 519-638-5093 or www.draytonfair.com. Aug. 22 - Grand River Fair and Exhibition (Dairy Show and Tractor Pull).

Bees and Bears theme for 159th Drayton Fair to be held Aug. 7-9

by Caroline Sealey DRAYTON - New events at the fairgrounds and in the community will add excitement to the 159th Drayton Fair, Aug. 7 to 9. The Drayton Mapleton Agricultural Society is encouraging all businesses in Mapleton Township to participate in a storefront window decoration contest. Store fronts must be decorated with the fair theme - Bees and Bears - and the date of the fair. Windows will be judged a week prior to fair weekend. Businesses competing in the contest can email the Drayton Fair at www.draytonfair@hotmail.com with contact information. The grand prize is lunch with the mayor. Mapleton Mayor Neil Driscoll confirmed with the Wellington Advertiser the winner will be able to choose

any restaurant in Mapleton Township and he will pick up the tab. Two new events added to the 2015 schedule are the twoman log saw competition and Teddy Bear Picnic. The sawing competition takes place on Aug. 8 from 12 to 5pm. Entry fee is $5 per team per try. Teams may try multiple times and prize money is $100. “For the children, we are planning a Teddy Bear Picnic on Sunday August 9, 12:30 to 1:30pm with games, crafts and snacks. Every child who attends receives a gift. Don’t forget to bring your favourite Teddy to the Picnic,” said fair board member Arlie Zantinge. A bee scavenger hunt has been added to the Drayton Fair Book this year. Count how many buzzing bees are placed throughout the book. Participants should go to the

ANNUAL BATTERY DRIVE Again this year the Wellington County 4-H Association is having their Annual Used Battery Drive. This fundraiser helps support the youth programs offered by Wellington 4-H throughout the County. Used batteries from cars, trucks, farm machinery, tractors and even lawn mowers are considered a hazardous waste and should be disposed of carefully due to the acid inside. The batteries are picked up from the various depot locations listed below by Battery Pro and the funds from them are sent to the Wellington County 4-H Association. If you have any used batteries, kindly drop them off at your closest location. Thank you in advance for your support.

and he asked what triggered the need for it. McRoberts explained the capacity increase was one of the triggers and “if a structure has some heritage value then that also triggers an environmental assessment.” “If any heritage society would like to come along and pick up that bridge they’d be welcome,” quipped Mayor Neil Driscoll. Councillor Lori Woodham questioned spending $100,000 “on a road I would say does not get a lot of traffic.” McRoberts said the condition of the bridge makes it a “top priority” for the township. “It’s currently on a twotonne load limit. Our plows cannot currently traverse this road,” he pointed out. A resolution to authorize the environmental assessment passed with Woodham opposed.

lieved to have been built between 1910 and 1930. “The structure should be replaced as soon as possible, although given the heritage aspects associated with this bridge, rehabilitation should be considered as a possible option,” states the 2014 inspection report prepared by R.J. Burnside. “Unfortunately the structure has deteriorated to a point where rehabilitation costs are almost equal to replacement costs.” ‘A lot of money’ The proposed cost submitted by R.J. Burnside and Associates for the assessment “is within the typical 10 to 15% of capital cost usually assigned to these projects,” McRoberts pointed out. The total 2015-16 capital budget for the project is approximately $828,000. Councillor Michael Martin stated the assessment cost “seems like a lot of money,”

GUELPH - The Volunteer Centre of Guelph/Wellington has wrapped up the 2015 ChangeTheWorld - Ontario Youth Volunteer Challenge. The campaign was held from April 12 to May 24, and the Volunteer Centre is pleased to announce the final results. In total, 916 youth volunteered a total of 5,193 hours in Guelph and Wellington. This contributed to the wider provincial campaign, which also surpassed targets. In fact, province wide 42,000 youth volunteered a total of 225,000 hours in their local Ontario communities. ChangeTheWorld is a province-wide campaign for youth aged 14 to 18 years old. It aims to inspire youth to volunteer through a wide variety of local initiatives, which will result in making a difference in their communities. The main goal is to get high school students from all across Ontario to volunteer,

allowing them to contribute their skills to causes they care about. ChangeTheWorld is funded by the Government of Ontario, and delivered in partnership with the OVCN and local volunteer centres. “After completing our 8th year of the ChangeTheWorld - Ontario Youth Volunteer Challenge, youth continue to inspire us with their active involvement,” says Patricia Weiler, Steering Committee Chair of the Ontario Volunteer Centre Network. “The innovative ideas and passions that they utilize through volunteering not only provides them with the opportunity to give back, but it also allows them to gain valuable skillsets in the process. Next year’s ChangeTheWorld campaign launches with National Volunteer Week (April 10 to 16) and runs for six weeks until May 23, 2016.

Refurbished transmission line from Guelph to secure Puslinch power access from page THREE provincial conservation targets. “We believe that conservation efforts could potentially offset 40% of the growth requirements over the next 10 years.” As a result, the proposed plans incorporate potential conservation efforts. Chan noted that because of current growth in the region, three of the main sources of supply coming into the region are approaching capacity. One of those sources at or near capacity, is currently the main supplier of Puslinch. To support future growth, the idea would be to supplement that supply with power distribution from Guelph. “To do this we recommend the rebuild of an existing transmission line and upgrading a station in the Guelph area.” Chan said this project has already been approved by the Ontario Energy Board and is expected to come into service in spring 2016. “The great thing about this project is that it is utilizing and maximizing use of existing infrastructure,” Chan said, adding the project will “significantly” improve power supply to the township because it accesses an alternative supply of power from the north. In the long term, Chan said the expectation is that the region will continue to grow, but that once the Guelph Area Transmission Refurbishment project is in place, it should address local needs to 2033. Chan acknowledged planning is a continuous process and that there will be an ongoing monitoring and dialogue with communities in the region. “Over the next year we will be setting up a series of meetings to talk about supply in the region.”

Notices THE CORPORATION OF THE COUNTY OF WELLINGTON Engineering Services Department Roads Division

Councillor Ken Roth suggested 40% conservation seemed to be a high number. “How do you plan on conserving 40% of the electricity?” Chan agreed the provincial target is aggressive and will require working closely with local utilities regarding conservation programs. She said there will be monitoring to determine whether those goals are on track, and to adapt accordingly. Roth said a lot of people are trying to conserve power, but he wasn’t certain many saw a difference in their hydro bills. He said he received a letter stating he was using 80% more hydro than his neighbours, but noted his neighbours had received a similar letter. Though he realized Chan was not with Hydro One, councillor Wayne Stokley asked if she could speculate why there have been more power outages in some areas of the township. He asked whether that could be an issue with the infrastructure. Chan said a lot depended on what type of power outages they were. Potentially some areas could be more susceptible because of infrastructure. She recommended contacting Hydro One directly. Stokley said others in the township have posed the ques-

tion to Hydro One representatives. “It just seems in certain areas around Concession 1 and Puslinch Lake there seem to be a lot of outages there - more than any other location in the township,” Stokley said. Chan said there are different reasons why outages can happen. However, she also said from what Stokley said, it seemed to be an issue of low voltage. She said she was willing to speak with him after the meeting. Stokley asked if the new towers being constructed near the Hanlon Parkway were part of the Guelph refurbishment project. Chan said she believed they were. Mayor Dennis Lever said “to hear the system now is pretty much at capacity is not really good news ... but to hear you have a plan in place to remedy it, certainly is.” Lever expressed concern the plan did not come into play earlier, prior to the distribution system approaching capacity. “I have heard from local industries that they have had some difficulties in getting sufficient power supply for their operation,” said Lever. The mayor added “... but I’m glad there is a fix on the way.”

GUELPH - The Guelph Humane Society is pleased to announce the Cat Days of Summer adoption event campaign, with the goal of finding loving homes for as many cats as possible over the summer season. The summertime brings a large influx in the number of cats and kittens entering the shelter, so the Guelph Humane Society is encouraging cat lovers to come and check out the cats available for adoption. “We have cats of various ages and personalities, all looking for their forever home,” said Lisa Veit, Guelph Humane Society associate director. All cat and kitten adoptions include spaying/neutering, up-

to-date vaccinations, deworming, flea treatment, microchipping and six weeks of complimentary pet insurance. During the Cat Days of Summer adoption event, the adoption fee is reduced to $125. The Cat Days of Summer adoption event started July 18 and runs until Aug. 8. Lots of love to give “Our feline friends have lots of love to give, and we are hoping that this promotion will encourage anyone who has been considering adoption to take the next step,” Veit said. For more information on the cats available for adoption, visit the Guelph Humane Society’s website at www.

guelph-humane.on.ca/ or call 519-824-3091. Guelph Humane Society The Guelph Humane Society has been caring for animals in Guelph and Wellington County since 1893. Each year the GHS cares for approximately 3000 animals in need, providing animal housing and adoption services, veterinary care and a progressive spay/ neuter program. The society also boasts strong humane education programs that impact thousands of children and youth annually. The society relies solely on the support of the public to operate its facility, programs and provide care to animals in the community.

MAPLETON – Council has thrown its support behind a resolution calling for provincial regulation of fill dumping. At the July 14 meeting, council passed a resolution supporting a call for action from the Wellington County Citizens Against Fill Dumping. Council had received correspondence from Guelph-Eramosa indicating that municipality was calling on the province to develop a comprehensive strategy to regulate excess soils and pass a Class Soil Act to help municipalities deal with excess soils under their jurisdiction. The Guelph-Eramosa resolution calls on government ministries to spearhead development of a comprehensive strategy on the issue. “We don’t have a real big issue with it here yet, but municipalities to the south are dealing with it more often,” noted Mayor Neil Driscoll.

Postage rate increase for bulk stamps proposed in 2016 OTTAWA - Canada Post is proposing to increase postage rates in 2016 as declining mail volumes continue to have a significant impact on its financial situation. The proposal is to increase

In 2014, Canada Post delivered 1.4 billion fewer pieces of domestic letters than in the peak year of 2006. However, the number of addresses also rises every year, affecting Canada Post’s cost of

When is enough, enough? Profit taking that is. Bank profits have been soaring endlessly without fail, quarter after quarter, year after year, and yet their appetite for more is unquenchable. Most recently, once again they have not passed on to the consumer the full value of the quarter point prime rate reduction by The Bank of Canada. The B of C is trying to stimulate a sluggish economy while the Big Banks are thwarting B of C’s efforts (our federal blog at: much of the government) Visit by our grabbing decrease in prime rate. TD was first to announce that they are reducing prime by only 10 basis points or 40 per cent while keeping the other 60 per cent to pad their profit margins. Do you think they are the least bit afraid of the feds? Next RBC, CIBC and BNS announced they would pass on 15 basis points or 60 per cent of the reduction. A little nicer, but still not nearly enough is it? This should be our money, our savings. We think that this should be illegal. We can

bet that when prime increases next, the banks will pass on 100 per cent of any increase, or who knows add on an extra .10% or ten extra basis points together, because they are not held accountable. We are seeing a very dangerous trend where the banks can seemingly do whatever they want. What’s going on anyway? Should they not be held more accountable? A lot more accountable? While the Feds have the power to keeps the big bad banks in line, they are

not doing so. However we the people (cumulatively speaking) still have the power to force the banks to relent. Just take the recent attempts to introduce ‘User Pay Fees’ which were designed to start charging consumers a fee just to make a loan, line of credit, credit card and yes even a mortgage payment. In short we could not make the required payments of debt obligations without paying an additional ‘fee’ to pay. Crazy Guelph Location: right? 519-265-5574 The consumer backlash made short order of that one. The same could potentially happen if Canadians are vocal about the outlandish profit skimming above. Isn’t it time we the consumer be heard again? What is at stake is not just the one 40% bank ‘take’ last week but actually the previous one as well.

How prepared are you for horse emergencies?

Pasture management important for all horses

by Debra Ottier FERGUS - While this is a great time for horses to enjoy pastures, endless grass and large fields, owners and caregivers have to be careful with overweight horses and ponies that are susceptible to laminitis and founder. Some pasture management tips are essential to keeping horses happy and healthy during the summer. Pastures high in sugars known as fructans can cause an insulin response in the horse. The insulin is a strong vasoconstrictor, which constricts blood flow, usually to the outer parts of the body such as the feet. This is why horses have the camped back look and become sore to walk. How can people combat this serious effect? Limit pasture time for these horses

when the fructans are present. Fructans are produced when grasses are stressed, so drought conditions, when the grass is shorter then normal and usually in the hot periods of the day between 11am and 4pm. The grass needs fructans to grow but this sugar causes the grass to taste better and hence the horse/pony tends to eat this section of the grass more, thereby creating an endless cycle. This would mean it would be best to keep these susceptible horses/ponies on longer grasses overnight and on a dry lot during the day. Ration balancers are a great vitamin mineral supplement for these animals, as they have no sugars, just vitamins and minerals, and one is available with a protein level of 12 per cent. Other horses will need

to have their pasture cared for as well. Manure needs to be cleaned monthly and the fields cut to prevent certain areas from being overgrazed. Selecting hardy plants

to withstand this, in combination with compaction of the soil due to stomping and tearing up of areas with horses’ hooves, is key to maintaining a successful pasture.

The right seed mixture, establishing a good solid ground, along with proper fertilization and grazing management are other keys to success. Fertilizing pastures should only be done with the horses off the fields. It can burn their mouths, so wait a minimum of seven days after fertilizing before allowing horses back on the pasture. Also, it is wise to fertilize just before it rains to ensure plant uptake. Fields should not be below two to three inches in length, as this is a sign of overgrazing. Excessive weed growth is a sign of pastures that are old and require plowing and re-seeding as normal grass growth ensures natural competition to prevent weed growth. In the late summer, heavy graze your pasture, spread

the manure out when it is hot and dry to destroy any parasite larvae and fertilize to ensure adequate nutrient levels. Harrowing in a wet time will only cause the larvae to be spread out all over the pasture. Does pasture alone meet the nutritional requirements of a horse? That will depend upon the types of grasses in the pasture, growing conditions, soil conditions, etc. There are methods of free choice supplementation for horses on pasture to ensure their needs are being met. These come in the form of blocks or tubs. Because the horse licks the block or tub on their own, there is no need to bring them in or individually feed them. Debra Ottier is an equine consultant with Sharpe Farm Supplies.

Gayle Ecker wins Equine Industry Vision Award for 2015 by Olivia Rutt GUELPH - Gayle Ecker, director of Equine Guelph, is the first Canadian to win the 2015 Equine Industry Vision Award presented by Zoetis and American Horse Publications. She received the award at the Tally-Ho at the Alamo Seminar in San Antonio, Texas on June 19. The award recognizes innovation, ingenuity and service in the equine industry. It also recognizes the recipient’s capability to inspire those qualities in others. “It’s a very important recognition of Equine Guelph by our peer group, so that’s something really, really exciting,” said Ecker in a interview with the Advertiser. The Puslinch Township resident was one of 25 nominees for the award. “They look for someone who is showing vision in moving the horse industry forward, people who have

integrity and strategic planning and are developing programs that have a widespread impact,” she said. “They are also looking for legacy programs, so people who are developing something that is going to stand the test of time.” Her peers said they believe Ecker is very deserving of the award. “When I saw the email regarding nominations for this award, I immediately thought of Gayle,” said Jackie Bellamy-Zions, communications and administration official at Equine Guelph. “When it comes to educating horse owners and equine industry professionals, Gayle is passionate, highly dedicated and effective; always developing pathways to learning that ultimately improve the health and well being of horses.” Susan Raymond, communication and programs officer at Equine Guelph, said, “I am so proud for both Gayle

She wrote the proposal for funding to create the organization and for online equine courses and she helped develop the Equine Science Certificate. “There was a group of people at the time that felt we needed a centre for the horse owner at the University of Guelph,” she said. “One of the first things I did when we were talking about Equine Guelph is propose an online equine education program, which did not exist at that point in time.” Before Equine Guelph, she spent time working with Continued on next page

Ecker key in developing Equimania for kids FROM PREVIOUS PAGE horses heading to the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. She said it made her realize there wasn’t a strong connection between the research and the horse owner. “That taught me a lot of ‘okay we really need to work hard to get the research in a practical form out to the horse owner to support horse welfare,’” said Ecker. From there, she helped grow Equine Guelph to what it is today. “We strive to provide good quality information to all the caretakers of horses out there, and by applying that information then they can help support health and welfare of horses,” said Ecker. The learning centre sees over 800 students from all over the world each semester. Ecker’s education and equine background made her a natural fit for the project, which focuses on horse

welfare, education and support for the equine industry. “Gayle is truly an educator by heart. I recall as a student working in the research barn (back in early ‘90s), Gayle, then a researcher, always took the time to explain what she was doing and why,” said Raymond. “Gayle has student and

international learning community about horses, that is underscored by welfare of the horse, that’s really cool. “We’ve seen this pebble effect, where we affect our students, and they in turn are going out and helping improve welfare out there too.” The program also offers

tools for horse owners to stay informed. Equimania Educating horse owners and caretakers is not the only thing Ecker is proud of - she wanted to foster an early love of horses in others so she started Equimania, a travelling interactive youth exhibit. “A lot of kids living in the

city just can’t ever reach out and have any experience with horses and yet they love horses,” she said. “So one of the things I was looking to do was to develop some kids program that would get kids interested in horses, make their parents feel comfortable that their kids are interested in horses, and really push the welfare.” Equimania brings horses to the children in an educational fashion. From welfare stations to horse anatomy to a vinyl reproduction of a horse’s gut, Ecker said kids have a blast learning about horses in such a different way. Ecker is also a horse owner herself. At her farm in Puslinch, she has two horses. Onyx, a quarter horse, was born on the property 15 years ago, and Oreo, a draft and quarter horse mix, was adopted from Sunrise Therapeutic Riding and Learning Centre.

Lewis’ around-the-world horseback journey included stop in Fergus; continues this summer by Olivia Rutt FERGUS - A United Kingdom woman undertook a long-distance horseback journey across North America this summer. Megan Lewis, from Wales, stopped in Fergus on May 27 as part of her adventure westward. She has been riding long distances since 2008 when she started her journey at the end of the Great Wall near Shanhaiguan, China. “I’ve always wanted to do something ever since I was in my teens. I read books about people doing long horse rides and I always really wanted to do it,” she said in an interview with the Advertiser. Lewis said she had the opportunity to start riding for longer trips when her children left the house and the 2008 Beijing Olympics finished. “The Olympics gave me

the idea … a lot of things came together,” she said. Her goal was to ride from China at the end of the 2008 Olympics to London in time for the 2012 Olympics there. She aimed to raise money for the charity ChallengeAid and in China for the China Children and Teenagers

Calm, education, resources vital to success during equine emergencies by Jaime Myslik ORTON – Education, resources and keeping a clear head are three of the most important factors that come into play when dealing with a large animal emergency situation, says Wendy Swackhamer, an Orton resident trained in that type of work. Swackhamer owns Wellington County Livestock Emergency Response (formerly Wellington County Large Animal Rescue), which focuses on educating large animal owners, first responders and other interested parties in best practices for injury prevention as well as providing emergency aid. She saw a void in this type of care and decided to fill it. She has certifications in livestock emergency response and equine emergency response, technical large animal emergency rescue operations and aware-

ness among others. The company was created about two years ago and Swackhamer said she focuses more on educating the public than responding to calls. “Which is a good thing as far as I’m concerned,” she said, adding the education must be working if calls remain at a minimum. She estimates she received about a dozen calls over the last two years. Two winters ago, when there was heavy snow and ice, Swackhamer said she had multiple calls about animals that had broken through surface ice and were stuck so deep in snow they couldn’t get out. She even had one call about a horse stuck in a snow bank. “I had [a] great big huge draft horse mare who went head first into a big snow drift and it was ice underneath and she couldn’t get

her feet under her to get herself back out,” she explained. She also talks owners through the rescue process over the phone. Covering all of Ontario, she said it’s not always possible for her to get to the location. “At that time when you call me then I’m going to start giving you things to do,” she said. “I’m going to start giving you things to set us up for the rescue.” She said the important thing is for the owner to remain calm. “Stop and take a breath and think of the most logical way to do something,” Swackhamer explained. “And if you can’t come up

of focus is on various techniques to open stall doors. “If you’re expected to go into a burning barn that you can’t see your hand in front of your face and there’s horses in that stall do you

know how to even get that stall door open?” is a question Swackhamer said she poses to the departments. However, it’s the farm owner who should have a fire plan in place before an incident so the rescue has better potential for success, she said. “Inviting your local fire department to your farm, setting up an emergency action plan, having a map so that when fire is responding they can look at it and say ‘okay, this is how this barn is set up’ (is important),” she said, adding she can also set up the plan.

issues is barn wiring. “Your wiring in your barn should all be run with conduit pipe, inside conduit pipe. This is a big mistake people make using household, residential-rated fans, extension cords, those types of things in their barns,” she said. “Well you have cobwebs, you have dust, you have who knows what, so you’re just (increasing the) potential for fire.” Stuck in mud Wet conditions can also be troublesome. When any animal with hooves, like a horse, is stuck in mud the removal process is tedious and delicate. “When an animal is stuck in mud and you try to pull it out you will remove the hoof capsule with the suction,” she said. “If you do not break the suction and you try to pull them up, that whole hoof part will just stay in the mud and the rest of it will come out.” She said it’s similar to having a rubber boot getting stuck in the mud and leaving it behind when the foot is pulled out. Swackhamer has special tools for just this purpose. The lances look like poles with holes along the side so she can run water or air through them, breaking up the mud around the animal before she begins the removal. She said it’s important to have one person dedicated to controlling the animal’s head in any rescue.

“That’s the biggest thing,” she said. “As long as you have control over their head, you’re ahead of the game.” Think outside the box Swackhamer also said thinking outside the box can be important in a rescue. For example, she said as long as some sort of rope is available, a halter can be made. “What I tell people is look for people with string in their

hoods,” she said. “Look for people at an accident scene with those and if you get enough together you then have a halter for your horse.” At an accident scene she said rope halters are preferable because they are adjustable and stronger than those held together with metal rings. In another situation, one of Swackhamer’s horses was

stuck in a hay feeder and instead of cutting the metal and destroying the $900 piece of equipment, she built up the height of the ground with a $4-bale of hay and her horse was able to get out. “We just built up hay on the inside and he was able to walk to get his feet high enough and then he just jumped out.” Round bale holes When round bales are left in the field and then removed they often leave a rut in a ground, a hole that large animals tend to get stuck in. Swackhamer said when a four-legged animal like a horse is stuck in a bale hole its legs are at such an angle that it is difficult to stand up. Rescue measures often need to be taken to drag the animal a distance until they can get their feet in a position to stand. A similar situation would occur if a horse was cast, meaning it’s unable to complete a roll because it’s blocked but is past the centre of gravity and can’t roll back. Intervention would be necessary to roll the animal back and because horses are so heavy, professionals would likely be needed to bring equipment. Required equipment “If you don’t have the equipment, know somebody that does,” Swackhamer said. She said it’s important for anyone who owns large livestock to have or know

someone who has a loader tractor in case it’s needed for a rescue - or if that’s not possible, to know someone who has a tow truck which will do the same thing. “It’s not ideal but we can make it work,” she said. “A lot of it comes down to resources.” She equated necessary rescue equipment with car insurance. “You pay car insurance for 50 years and you never have an accident but if you do at least maybe you’ll get a new car,” she said. “It’s the same scenario.” In Swackhamer’s case, she has a team of people who have been trained. They don’t officially work for her but she knows she can call on them if she needs more people to help in a situation. ICE Swackhamer is working on creating an In Case of an Emergency (ICE) sticker to

install in livestock trailers. “The sticker would go on the outside of the trailer and inside the trailer will be an envelope or a folder of some kind on the wall that’s the same colour as the sticker and inside it will give first responders the information about the horses and it will also give the information about the people in the vehicle,” she said. “That same information sheet will also be in the glove box of the truck.” She said she hopes people will use it because it’s easier to deal with animals when first responders have as much information as possible, and if the driver is injured or killed it is difficult to track down this information in a hurry.

Good preparation saves the day

Emergency rescue seminar in Elora Oct. 3-4 GUELPH - “A successful emergency rescue is about 90 per cent preparation and 10% action,” reiterated Ontario SPCA officer Bonnie Bishop. Bishop cannnot say enough about how the Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue (TLAER) program presented by Equine Guelph last fall has helped her on the job. On March 17 preparation was put into action when a bull trapped down a well, just north of Napanee, was successfully rescued with Bishop helping triage the situation on the end of a phone line with agent Tex Ridder on the scene. “Many organizations that participate in TLAER programs do not realize how far reaching this program is - that it concerns situations from loose horses on the highway, to cattle truck rollovers, to animals trapped and needing professional extrication,” said Dr. Rebecca Gimenez of Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue Inc. “The most important feature of the program is safety for the people on the scene first.” Bishop was over two hours away in Cornwall when a call about a trapped Charolais bull came in. Although adrenaline kicked in right from the start, she said the TLAER program armed her with a logical system for assessing the

dilemma. Realizing the bull was not in immediate danger she knew lowering down some hay and water were first on the list to keep the bull calm while more calls could be made. Knowing the Incident Command System is one of the most valuable components when pulling together resources for a rescue. From first responders to the forklift operator and veterinarian, Bishop recounted how knowing the simple practical steps involved in making a plan and following a chain of command throughout execution is important. Staying calm through the whole situation, the bull’s owner then contacted all the necessary resources. Both the in-class videos and hands-on demonstrations from the TLAER program came into play. The memorable videos on “what not to do” coupled with the practical hands-on work detailing how to safely arrange recovery straps to a large animal contributed to a successful vertical lift. Bishop remembered from one of the class videos how important a chest strap was to stop a large animal from slipping out during a forklift rescue. While they were not able to secure a chest strap, the rescuers on the scene improvised to ensure the bull would not tip forward dur-

ing lifting. They placed the bull down a good distance away from the chasm ensuring he would not stumble, back in after his airborne adventures. Teamwork and planning are key ingredients to successful emergency rescues. Elora training seminar Equine Guelph’s next two-day Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue awareness hands-on seminar will be offered Oct. 3 and 4 at Grand River Raceway in Elora. Offered with support from the Grand River Agricultural Society and Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the seminar is appropriate for a very broad audience: horse owners, first responders, law enforcement, animal control officers, veterinarians, veterinary technicians, emergency animal response teams, livestock producers and associations. The program is applicable to obtain continuing education credits for coaches (from Equine Canada) and for veterinarians, veterinary technicians and emergency responders (from their respective organizations). Registration is limited. For more information about this program contact Susan Raymond at slraymon@ uoguelph.ca. submitted by Jackie Bellamy-Zions, Equine Guelph

New code for equine welfare GUELPH - Over the past two years, Equine Guelph has chosen a specific topic for their annual communications program. In 2015, Equine Guelph will continue with the “FullCircle-Responsibility” theme with a specific monthly focus on the new National Code of Practice for Equine Welfare. The document is the product of many hours of research, consultation and

review. “It is a consensus document that outlines best practices – agreed to by the industry and it is sciencebased,” states a press release from the organization. “It also plays a role in keeping our industry moving forward in its support of equine welfare.” Each month Equine Guelph’s Code Decoder will focus on a section of the

code and show its application for daily management starting next month with duty of care. They also have a new Horse Owner’s Tool that will help owners assess their management practices. “Give your friends the key to the code for the care and handling of equines by encouraging them to sign up at EquineGuelph.ca,” states the release.

Pain recognition skills vital prevention tools for owners by Jackie Bellamy-Zions GUELPH - Hiding pain is one of the top survival skills of a horse. An important part of horse ownership is learning to recognize signs that a horse may be in discomfort rather than dismissing subtle cues as just bad behaviour. Dr. Brianne Henderson recently gave a lecture to a room full of horse owners in Hillsburgh. The attendees were interested in ensuring the welfare of their equine companions by honing their skills for detecting pain. There has been increased awareness of pain recognition and management in small animals and this science is also gaining more acknowledgement in the world of horses as well. Everyone wants to be greeted by a bright-eyed, soft and relaxed face. The horse is telling you something hurts when they avoid looking at you, appear despondent, clench their jaw, flatten ears back and/or squint their eyes. Henderson rolled through a barrage of images asking the audience to denote which ones depicted animals in pain. By stance, facial cues and action the savvy auditors were hitting the mark and also picked up on the fact that circumstance plays a role. How many people

have had the phone call of alarm when a passerby sees a horse flat out in the field when it was actually just napping in the sun? Flehmen is another response that can be circumstantial. It can occur due to an interesting smell or taste sensation but it can also be a moderate pain response displaying nostril and mouth tension. The stallion curling his upper lip testing for pheromones when a mare passes by is a different context than

Horse people need to be on the lookout for atypical behaviour. the horse who didn’t finish his feed, is stretched out with his poll low and is showing the flehmen response. Subtle changes require your attention such as a horse at the back of its stall with a half-eaten breakfast when it is normally standing at the door waiting to go out after licking the feed tub clean. Catching a potential colic at this early stage could result in a huge cost savings as well as avoid what could turn into a very painful experience for the horse. The performance horse who suddenly starts refusing to accomplish tasks it

be required to figure out if it is you or the horse that has changed. “If I have had a bad day at the office and not taken the time to decompress – my horse will not come to the gate for me,” Henderson explains. “Similarly, I know if he doesn’t come to the gate under normal circumstances, there is something wrong because he typically loves his job.” Grooming will also tell you much about your horse’s health. Rather than quickly dusting off the saddle area and jumping on to ride, take the time to run your

hands over their whole body, especially the back and legs, before and after work, checking for any heat, swelling or reactions that can be early indicators something is not quite right. Obvious pain requires a veterinary examination. When a horse comes in from the paddock hopping lame, it can often be hard to tell if it is an abscess requiring a simple poultice or a fracture requiring much more intensive treatment and stabilization. When acute pain is obvious; don’t guess or delay – call the veterinarian. For less obvious lameness, your veterinarian has been trained to assess the severity on a scale from one to five. Early intervention increases the chances of a good outcome and can prevent matters from escalating into a much worse injury. In addition to being on the look-out for signs of pain, a dutiful horse owner is always employing prevention practices. They apply poultice and wrap horse’s legs to stem swelling after a hard work out and give them time to recover. Our horses count on us, their primary care-takers, to be diligent and attentive in both prevention and early detection of pain. For further information visit: EquineGuelph.ca.

used to find easy requires a careful evaluation as early signs of lameness rather than misbehaving could be the culprit. As the owner of a stoic animal, accustomed to hiding pain, horse people need to be on the lookout for atypical behavior such as a horse who begins to segregate itself from the herd or suddenly displays a less tolerant behavior with its paddock mates. When variations in behavior occur, a step back may

Horse welfare is everyone’s responsibility GUELPH - The plight of the unwanted or neglected horse is a growing welfare issue in this country. Seldom does a week go by without a publicized horse welfare issue in some form of neglect, abuse or abandonment. With the current economic climate and changes in the racing sector in Ontario, many in the horse industry have been forced to look for ways to live more frugally. Unfortunately in most cases, it’s the horse that suffers. “The majority of horse owners and riders have a strong attachment to their horses, and would not purposely go out of their way to neglect a horse,” said Gayle Ecker, director of Equine Guelph. “But proper equine welfare goes far beyond providing the basics of food and water. It’s about how the horse is managing with the conditions in which it lives. It’s about taking full responsibility for horse ownership right up until the end.” What is equine welfare? The simple definition of welfare, “quality of life”, can at times be unclear, as this term can mean different things to different people. Nonetheless, everyone can agree that providing good welfare to our beloved

What’s best for the horse? Recently Equine Canada and the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC) came together to provide horse owners with updated guidelines for general equine management with the release of the new Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Equines. “The code was developed for both the professional and the individual owner for the health and welfare of horses,” said Jack de Wit, director with the Equine Canada board of directors and chair of the code development committee.

horses should be based on both physical and mental health. In the past, society normally regarded equine welfare only as it relates to the animal’s physiology and its environment, such as feeding and shelter. But over the past 15 years, the science of animal welfare has made huge developments in recognizing their needs by expanding the concept of welfare and management issues of the horse to include also their wellbeing and related tolerable threshold of pain, suffering or neglect.

Carson’s

The code was established to develop and enforce guidelines for minimum standards for the welfare of the horse. This would include proper nutrition, appropriate shelter, disease prevention and treatment, humane handling, and when necessary, humane euthanasia. Its development was led by an 18-person committee made up of equine owners, caregivers, animal welfare and enforcement representatives, researchers, veterinarians and government representatives. A five-person scientific committee, which included researchers with expertise in equine behaviour, health and welfare, also aided in its concept. Printed copies of The Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Equines, a 92-page document outlining proper animal care requirements and recommended practices for equine welfare, are available by contacting Equine Canada. The Code can also be viewed or downloaded at http://www.nfacc. ca/codes-of-practice/equine. Meanwhile in Ontario, a new organization was formed to contribute to improvements in farm animal care and welfare. Established in January 2012, Farm and Food Care is the first coalition of its type

in Canada and resulted from the amalgamation of the Ontario Farm Animal Council (OFAC) and Agricultural Groups Concerned about Resources and Environment (AGCare) in order to bring awareness, appreciation, and information to farmers to help ensure that farm animals are raised in a responsible manner. “While we do not specifically represent horses at Farm and Food Care, there are many parallels that ex-

ist between farm animals,” said Kristen Kelderman, Farm Animal Care Coordinator of Farm and Food Care Ontario based in Guelph. “Regardless of whether you are taking care of a cow, horse, pig or chicken, good farm animal welfare should be the same across all species.” Farm and Food Care offers a Farm Animal Care Helpline to assist farmers with management-type issues such as thin animals or lack of bedding, but is not meant for legitimate abuse

or cases where laws have been broken. “We do not take horse calls, because we do not have this agreement on the horse side. When people do call our office about horses, we recommend that they call the OSPCA (Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) directly,” states Kelderman. “The Helpline does not have the mandate or resources to respond to the thousands of calls that the OSPCA does, but is simply another tool for people to use...” Help prevent issues “Equine welfare is a human responsibility and should extend beyond our farm gates”, said Ecker. “While your horses are being properly cared for, what about the neighbour down the street who has fallen on hard times and is unable to afford sufficient hay to feed his horses?” she asks. “Do we turn a blind eye and hope they’ll be alright until the spring? That the problem will fix itself? All of us have a responsibility to take the necessary steps to prevent a horse from suffering. As they can’t speak, we must speak for them.” For serious concerns regarding horse welfare call the OSPCA at 1-888-ONT-SPCA (1-888-668-7722).

The impact of impact on equine bone health

by Jackie Bellamy-Zions GUELPH - Ontario Veterinary College graduate student Cristin McCarty is no stranger to joint health issues, having to work through her own athletic injuries from rowing. As an avid rider since age five, McCarty bought an exracehorse in her early teens for re-purposing into a hunter/jumper and immediately began an education in joint problems and maintenance options aimed towards keeping her newly-purchased horse sound. After pursuing an education in biology, McCarty was given the opportunity to work with Dr. Jeff Thomason and Dr. Mark Hurtig at the University of Guelph, where research ground-breaking is looking at joint loading of horses travelling at high speed. specializes Thomason in biomechanics, studying mechanics of locomotion in horses, in-vivo bone strain and finite-element (FE) mod-

elling of skeletal mechanics. Hurtig is an expert on the mechanical causes of osteoarthritis (OA). McCarty has been working with FE, gathering and analyzing data on loads acting at the fetlock joint and stresses in the cannon bone. By creating a computer generated model using computed tomographic (CT) or MRI images of an equine fetlock joint they are working on determining the internal bone stress under varying loading conditions (rates, directions and magnitudes) using FE software. This method of analysis could provide further insight into the biomechanical role impact has on the stress distribution in areas of high remodeling, which are associated with OA in racehorses. FE is used in the automotive industry in crash test simulations to assess material failure but it is a relatively new technology for applications in biology. McCarty, who has been working under

Thomason for three years now, says, “it was a steep learning curve to become familiar with the software to build complex models.

That alone took almost two years.” FE, through complicated mathematical calculations, can test where stress points will occur under par-

ticular loading conditions. In a more dense bone (which occurs in OA) these calculations can show how stress points may be transferred and put onto the cartilage of the joint. Using FE researchers can also study how distribution of stress in a healthy, spongy less dense bone differs from that of an osteoarthritic joint. Contributing factors to OA in the fetlock joint of a horse lies partly in conformation. A horses’ large body mass is held up by four fairly small limbs and the fetlock joint is a small area to distribute the force and loading that occurs during high speed movement. Long pasterns and steep joint angles increase stresses on the back of the leg and can predispose a horse to issues. Footing plays a role with harder surfaces resulting in higher strains on the hoof. A blunt force trauma could also predispose a horse to joint injury and make it more susceptible to the onset of OA.

Intense continuous training can set a horse up for OA and joint disease. McCarty goes on to talk about training programs and compares the training of human athletics to how train race horses are trained, “If you wanted to run a 200m sprint, you would not sit on a couch all day; get up to sprint 50m then return directly to the couch. With no pre-conditioning of joints, this is asking for injury. So why would we ask a horse to stand in a stall all day and then take them out for a gallop?” Chronic overloading of joints leads to problems over time. McCarty cites assessing the chronically lame horse as a potential use for FE modeling. It may allow predications of where the bone may fracture and under what conditions. Also, with greater understanding of high stress point areas and what is creating them, mitigation may be possible such as suggesting a change in the footing surface the horse trains on.
