Sharing bylaw officer working out well by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - Sharing a bylaw enforcement officer with two Perth County municipalities is working out well so far for the township, says CAO Patty Sinnamon. In a report at the July 22 council meeting, Sinnamon stated the first month of sharing the services of enforcement officer Maurita Boyle with North Perth and Perth East “has gone extremely well.” In June, the three municipalities agreed to shared costs, including wages (based on each municipality’s needs), cell phone, laptop, training courses, memberships to professional organizations, clothing and other equipment. In terms of identification, Sinnamon noted the bylaw officer is now wearing an offi-
cial uniform when out on calls. In a report, Boyle stated there have been about 200 calls regarding property standards for which files were all opened and closed to the end of June 2014. “Not all calls result in a file being opened. Many calls will be redirected to others such as noise and parking (enforced by OPP). Others calls are followed up with site visits and do not require further action,” Boyle stated. “In 2014 there have been three zoning bylaw files opened and all closed after follow-up.” Councillor Neil Driscoll asked if the appropriate number to call for bylaw concerns handled by the OPP is listed on the township’s website. “If it’s not, we can certainly add it,” said Sinnamon.

Council agrees to contract Fire Marque to collect fire call costs by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON - Council has authorized contracting the services of Thornton-based Fire Marquee Inc. to provide emergency response cost recovery services for the township. At the July 22 meeting, council authorized entering an agreement with the company, despite the objection of councillor Neil Driscoll, who feels the process will result in increased insurance premiums for some taxpayers. Fire Marque representative Chris Carrier told Mapleton council at its June 24 meeting that most property insurance policies include fire department expense recovery clauses. “You do require some work to unlock the coverage,” said Carrier adding the pro-
gram would not generate extra paperwork for the fire department beyond standard incident reports being done anyway. Fire Marque charges 30 per cent of fees recovered and the company estimates Mapleton could generate about $14,000 in revenue, after the Fire Marque commission. In a report to council on July 22, Fire Chief Rick Richardson recommended council take advantage of the opportunity. “Fire department operations are almost exclusively funded through taxation, and traditionally there have been very limited opportunities to recover expenses incurred as a result of providing fire protection services,” he stated. “Most insurance policies provide coverage for an
insured property owner for a number of ‘insured perils’ including provisions for fire department expenses in varying amounts. Municipalities have not had the expertise or resources to initiate claims for cost recovery from insurance companies, but recently Fire Marque Inc. has developed Indemnification Technology, a program to assist in accessing monies available through insurance companies by initiating claims on behalf of the municipality.” Richardson told council he has spoken with chiefs of fire departments who have used the service and were pleased with the results. “People who have tried to recover these costs without going through Fire Marque,
they haven’t had much luck. They haven’t had much success at all,” said Richardson. He noted that payment to the fire departments involved “in no way affects the claim of the individuals who may have suffered a loss.” Payments are not deducted from those due to the policy holder, and the policy holders premiums are not affected by such claims, he stressed. “How can it not affect our premiums?” asked Driscoll, who also questioned how the company would collect for fire calls to properties owned by Mennonites. “Half of our agricultural population does not carry conventional insurance,” he pointed out. “They (Fire Marque) do not
go to the self-insured people,” responded Richardson. Driscoll wondered why the fire department needed to recover costs of responding to fires at all. “Are we in a position that it’s costing us money beyond the taxes that we pay to go out and fight fires? Then why do we need to re-collect that money?” he asked. Richardson explained, “Insurance companies have money in their policies for fire response. We’re just not recovering that (currently).” Driscoll then noted, “For them to get 30 per cent for the work that you do, to me that seems like a lot.” Mayor Bruce Whale said, “Until we kind of get the process in place, it’s better to use someone that has all the
knowledge. It gives us another avenue to try to recover some of those costs from people that use the service.” “We’ve already paid for those services,” insisted Driscoll. “We make sure the service is available. If in some way we can recover some of that cost, why wouldn’t we do it?” Whale wondered. Councillor Jim Curry pointed out insurance companies “are collecting a premium and not giving us anything back. I say we go ahead with it.” The motion to enter into a contract with Fire Marque passed with Curry and councillor Andy Knetsch in favour and Driscoll opposed. Councillor Mike Downey was absent from the July 22 meeting.

Noise exemption granted for 2014 Drayton Fair DRAYTON - Mapleton council has approved a request for an exemption from the township’s noise bylaw for Drayton Fair events on Aug. 8 and 9 from 9pm to 1am. The same request was made and granted for the 2013 fair to cover Friday and Saturday activities. Although he voted in favor of the exemption, which was approved without opposition, councillor Andy Knetsch expressed concern the exemption not be exceeded. While recognizing “the work that goes into organizing and maintaining the [fair] – many hours are put into this event,” Knetsch noted “sometimes it goes beyond 1am and my point is we have to use a lot of common sense here and if there are a lot of activities then perhaps the tractor pull should be started earlier.”
In 2012, a lengthy rain delay and problems with the pull boat caused the Saturday night tractor pull to run until around 3am. “We plan to be finished by 11. We just need a bit of a cushion,” noted Jim Zantinge of the Drayton Mapleton Agricultural Society, who was in the gallery at the meeting.
DRAYTON – A sparkling tribute that highlights the most memorable music in the history of film will be on stage at the Festival Theatre here Aug. 5 to 23. “The Drayton Festival Theatre is rolling out the red carpet this summer,” says Alex Mustakas, artistic director of Drayton Entertainment. “Hollywood Sings is packed with everyone’s favourite movie songs performed by an all-star cast who will whisk you away to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood in a joyous musical revue.” From venerable classics synonymous with the golden age of movie musicals, such as Stormy Weather, Moon River, and Singin’ in the Rain, to contemporary film scores like Mamma Mia, Ghost, and Titanic, to a montage of Disney favourites, this production weaves a rich tapestry of romance, humour and nostalgia, officials state. Conceived and created by David Rogers, Hollywood Sings engages the audience at every turn. A star of major productions from Broadway revues to mega-musicals, Rogers is currently playing the lead role in Drayton Entertainment’s production of Les Misérables. The show is directed by David Hogan, who also directed last year’s production of Godspell at the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse. Other members of the creative team include music direction and arrangements by Mark Payne and lighting design by Catherine Soulliere. Performing the vocals are: Brian Belleth, Mark Cassius, Diane Chase, June Crowley, Susan Gilmour, Christine McKeon and Michael Vanhevel.

Softball titles within reach Softball and summer seem a great combination in Mapleton. Thanks to the efforts of a large continent of volunteer coaches, supporters and fans, the venerable game continues to enjoy popularity among local youngsters, offering a great opportunity for fun and fitness. In addition to providing for some great nights at local ball parks, the sport also offers local youth the opportunity to benefit from the experience of high-level competition. This week, the Community News carries reports of the exploits of several local young people who will be competing at an interprovincial level for major softball titles in August. The Palmerston Novice Marlins team, which includes a number of Mapleton girls, is headed to White Rock, British Columbia during the week of Aug. 6 to 10 to compete in the U-14 Girls Jamboree - Canadian Fastpitch Championships. The team was selected by Softball Canada to represent Ontario at the nationals based on their standing in play this season. Zachary Newmaster, of Mapleton, who played Drayton-Moorefield minor ball for the past five years, is part of a Kitchener-based Pee Wee boys team that has qualified to compete in the Eastern Canadian finals in Nova Scotia from Aug. 21 to 24. Both squads are conducting fundraising to help families defray travel costs. If history is any indication, they will no doubt be able to count on generous support from their local community, which has responded dynamically to numerous such calls in recent years. Anyone wishing to assist the Marlins are urged to visit www. palmerstonmarlins.com. To help Zachary make it to Nova Scotia contact his father Richard Newmaster at 905-302-1427. Patrick Raftis
Letter to the Editor Thankful for help Dear Editor: I am always amazed when I see our community pull together and help each other out for no other reason than because that’s what community does. On Tuesday, my family was on the receiving end of this wonderful outpouring of caring and kindness and understanding. Our daughter Abby was injured during a soccer game, and we just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you! Thank you to Cindy for knowing what to do. Thank you to Dave for making the call to Rick and thank you to Rick for sending Scott and Jeremy and Mike. Thank you to Mike and Jeremy and Scott for showing up so quickly and making Abby feel like she was important. She commented to me later that her witty banter was all an act so that no one would feel like, “oh poor kiddo.” She was pretty scared and you made her feel comforted. Thank you to all the parents, spec-
tators, players, coaches and officials for keeping Abby in your thoughts. Thank you to the guys who stuck around and flagged the ambulance down. And thank you to the paramedics who showed up and strapped Abby in, and had the patience to answered all her questions (goodness knows there were a lot!) and again made her feel like a person, instead of an injured child on the soccer field. I know I’m missing people, and I’m sorry. Please know that we are forever grateful for all everyone did that night. You all hold a special place in our hearts. Mapleton is an awesome place to live, and Tuesday was, once again, an obvious testament to that! We are truly blessed. Abby is going to be just fine. She was back on the field Saturday. From the bottom of our hearts Thank you so very much! Angie, Chris and Abby Culp, Drayton P.S. - Scott, Abby says she’s ready any time to have the debate about the Ford.

The railway’s influence on settlements We often hear and read stories about vanishing villages and hamlets in the townships, but very seldom do people reminisce about villages and towns that were established because of the location of rail lines. One such community is Moorefield. By 1872 the Wellington Grey and Bruce Railway Company had built its rail line from Guelph to Southampton via Elora, Fergus, Alma, Goldstone, Drayton, through Maryborough and Wallace Township to what would become Palmerston, and westward. The rail company
needed more land every eight or 10 miles along its line to build switching lines, station buildings, stock holding pens, etc. Rev. George C. Moore donated land, a part of Lot 9, Concession 9 in Maryborough Township, to the rail company for a rail station and yards. He stipulated the station was to be called Moore’s Field. With usage the name soon became Moorefield. In 1872 Moore had a survey plan made of a portion of his land laying out lots and streets on the west side of McGivern Street. William Loughran, who owned Lot 10, Concession 9, had a more modest survey plan of lots made along the east side
of McGivern Street, and across the concession road John King had a survey plan of some 20 lots made on his land, Lot 10, Concession 8, about the same time. Circa 1902, Isaac Metcalfe had a survey plan of some 20 lots on Lot 9, Concession 8, on the south side of the concession road. These early surveys laid out the Village of Moorefield. In very short order, businesses, homes, hotels and churches were erected and Moorefield became a centre of business activity in the township. Many of the businesses in Hustonville, less than a mile away on the concession road, and Trecastle, which
was located only three miles from Moorefield, relocated to be near the railway station. Business owners literally picked up and moved not only their business, but their buildings as well, from Hustonville to Moorefield. The railway was a boon to the area farmers. They were able to get their produce to market faster. When the farmers had to drive their stock to Guelph or Hawkesville there was significant weight loss resulting in less profit. Now they could drive their stock to the rail station with very little weight loss and more profit. Rail travel changed the social life of the people as
well. With trains leaving and returning to the area several times a day people could travel for business or to visit family or friends conveniently. Several post cards in my own family records confirm that my grandmother would travel to visit with a friend in Guelph and return home on the evening train. An old railway timetable shows one could leave Moorefield at 8:30am and be in Guelph by 10:05am, with stops at each station along the way. One could have lunch and a good visit and still be back in Moorefield on the afternoon train by 7:22pm. The rail line passed through
the farms across the concession road from Hustonville, a thriving hamlet, located on Lot 11, Concession 8. Looking back from the prospective of over 130 years, it seems odd the station was not located at an already-thriving community. Whether the decision was political or for some other reason, a new community was born. Walking tour of Moorefield The Mapleton Historical Society and the Wellington County Historical Society are hosting a Walking Tour of Moorefield on Sept. 13. Join the tour to learn more about the village. submitted by Jean Campbell

By Laurie Langdon
Pause to celebrate A lot has happened in you since the day you became a follower of Christ. And a lot is happening in you now, as you grow in Christ; a dynamic work that is often not noticed, let alone celebrated. Well, today we are going to pause, we are going to notice and we are going to celebrate! Right now you are being sanctified. You have been and are being separated, set apart unto God, and made holy. More and more you are being set apart from sin, purified from
all evil and dedicated to God. You have, by being born again into Christ, received holiness. And, by the way, it is by this holiness that you will “see the Lord.” (Heb. 12:14) But deeper still lies the truth that the same holiness which Christ owns has been and is being transmitted to you. As God’s word states, “It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.” (1 Cor. 1:30) Oh, there’s more. You are also being conformed to Christ’s image. Just as he is, you have become, are becoming and will continue to
become. Check this out: “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” (2 Cor. 3:18) In the past you were sanctified by the blood of Christ which placed you in the position of being separated from the penalty of sin. In the present you are being sanctified by the word of Christ by means of the Holy Spirit and are walking in the experience of being separated from the power of sin. In the future you will be sanctified, glorified, perfected, given your final reward and
made completely and fully like Christ by the literal manifested presence of the glorified Christ wherein, consequentially, you are separated from the very presence of sin itself. Wow! How does this happen, though? God does it as he unconditionally and completely places you within his family, accredits Christ’s holiness to you, works what is well pleasing to him and fathers you into becoming the person he has designed you to be. Christ does it as he unconditionally and completely laid down his life for you, producing holiness in you and interceding for you in ways
unimaginable. The Holy Spirit does it inside you, affecting transformation and freeing you from, striving against and putting to death your carnal nature, thus producing bountiful fruit and bringing order to your soul. God’s word does it, so that your conduct is practically affected, to the point that you are brought to life, awakened to all obstructions and given the remedies for all infirmities. You do it, practically, and as you conduct yourself in a manner worthy of Christ, by expressing faith in God and his promises, by pursuing holiness, by being possessed by the Holy Spirit and by serving him with
Dance school aims to promote arts, fitness HARRISTON - Minto Dance Academy (MDA) is preparing for its 2014-15 season of dance, which will mark the academy’s 37th year of operation. “As an academy operated by parent volunteers, we are unique in the dance community. Our desire has been to offer quality dance programs that both promote an appreciation of the arts and also encourage physical activity for children,” MDA officials state in a press release. MDA offers a wide selection of disciplines. Dancers can choose from graded ballet through the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), tap, jazz,
hip hop, contemporary, highland and musical theatre. To further enhance the creative experience dancers participate in a Christmas demo and spring recital, “which are well received by the community.” MDA has “an enthusiastic and professional faculty,” officials note. “We have long-standing instructors who have been with us for many years,” the release states. The highland program has been under the direction of Jennifer Memmott for 14 years. Teaching various diciplines, Maggie McLaughlin, a graduating student of the MDA will be returning for her fourth

all your heart. What an encouragement it is to know that God’s work for you got you saved, and what an equal encouragement it is to know that God’s work in you keeps you saved. Warning you, checking you, encouraging you, and sustaining you, his intention is to develop steadfastness – that you might attend constantly to the pursuit of holiness, patience – that you might continue unswervingly in the pattern he has set out for you and persistence – that you might adhere firmly to truth. So, today let’s pause, let’s notice and let’s celebrate. God is at work in you, and his work is always a magnificent work!
