Norwell Dairy opens new facility
by Patrick Raftis DRAYTON – When Norwell Dairy moved operations into a new 14,000 square foot building in 1990, president and partner in the business Hilco Stevens said he “thought we would retire there.� However the company’s continued growth and success led to further expansion and the opening of a new 30,000 square foot facility in Mapleton’s industrial park in Drayton on Saturday. Although the company moved into the facility in January, the grand opening was held Oct. 27, with numerous dignitaries and a large crowd of customers and area residents on hand for the celebration.
Stevens said the company, which employs over 100 people, including about 65 at the Drayton location, is confident they are in the right spot. “We do believe with this move that, as Norwell Dairy, we are in the right location to serve the local dairy farmers.� Partner Jack Bosman said, “We wanted to show the agricultural industry and the community that we were committed to the agricultural community and to this community.� Local politicians who attended the event praised the company, which also has locations in Woodstock, Oakwood and Brinston, for their commitment to the local area. Perth-Wellington MPP
Randy Pettapiece congratulated “the owners of Norwell Dairy for staying in the community and ensuring that they are going to be here for many years to come.� Wellington County Warden Chris White added, “the county recognizes how important this level of investment is to our county and the community.� Mapleton Mayor Bruce Whale pointed out that Norwell Dairy is “one of the biggest providers of service to the dairy industry across the province. “I think that’s quite an accomplishment,� said Whale, who commended the company for “staying in agriculture and keeping your business in Mapleton Township.�
by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – Municipal insurance premiums in Mapleton remain stable, Steve Smith of Frank Cowan Company Ltd., told Mapleton council members on Oct. 23. “That’s as a result of your excellent claims history,� said Smith, a record he credited to conscientiousness of municipal staff and council. Smith noted municipalities “remain something of a target,� resulting in high liability coverage rates. “Nobody’s responsible for their accidents anymore. They all have to bring everything
back to the municipality,� he commented. The township will pay an annual premium of $170,989 for all forms of coverage in the 2012-13 term. That’s up about 2.5 per cent from the $166,265 the municipality paid in premium for the 2011-12 term. The policy provides the municipality with municipal liability coverage up to $25 million per occurrence. A report on current market conditons provided by the Frank Cowan Company, which specializes in insuring public entities such as municipalities, notes the sector continues to
experience “significant� losses. “Some of these have been driven by landmark cases, but overall, frequency and severity of claims has increased dramatically. “As well the overall cost of claims, which takes into account escalating court awards, claims administration expense and the ever-increasing replacement cost of assets, has continued to rise. Insurers and reinsurers are extremely cautious about public entity liability exposures due in part of the complexity of services provided by public sector organizations,� the report states.
FEASTT proceeds donated to foodgrains bank MAPLETON - After the highly successful FEASTT (Fertilizer Efficiency and Strip Tillage Tour) was held on Aug. 22 at Clean Field Services (CFS) near Drayton, a donation of $1,350 was made to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. The collaborative effort between CFS, Alpine Plant Foods and MK Martin was an intensive plot and demonstration event, showing strip-tilled corn and soybeans with various Alpine soil-applied and foliar-applied nutrient packages. Close to 200 growers attended from across the province and a bus load of Michigan growers attended the following day.

Lot owners seek answers on Mapleton MDS waiver issue
by Patrick Raftis MAPLETON – Mapleton council is hoping to have a solution soon for several local landowners whose plans for their property are on hold due to confusion over Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) provisions in the township’s new comprehensive zoning bylaw. In July of 2010 Mapleton council passed a new comprehensive zoning bylaw that waives MDS1 requirements for existing lots that are less than 9.9 acres. However, the bylaw did not come into effect until June 2012 due to an OMB appeal of the bylaw on an unrelated matter. Alwyn and Lori Woodham attended the Sept. 25 council meeting to express concerns over the exemption, due to the potential impact on their farming operation on County Road 10 near Moorefield. Several small lots, created in the 1970s, exist near the couple’s farm.
Because the lots are within MDS1 radius, building could not be permitted without a specific waiver. However, the Woodhams were concerned the change to the comprehensive zoning bylaw would allow the lots to be built on, effectively restricting future expansion on their farm, as the farm would then be bound by MDS2 regulations. All of the current members of Mapleton council who were in office at the time of the bylaw change have stated they were not aware of the MDS waiver provision when passing the bylaw. Tracy Cronin, of Woods, Clemens and Fletcher, an Elmira law firm, appeared before council on Oct. 23 to outline the position of the owners of the lots near the Woodhams’ farm. Cronin told council that in July 2010, Tony and Mary Ann Giesen contacted the township to inquire about the impact of

the new comprehensive zoning bylaw on the lots they owned along County Road 10. Cronin said the couple was advised by both township staff and county planning staff that the new bylaw contained a provision exempting these lots from MDS1 requirements. The Giesens attended the township council meeting at which the zoning bylaw was passed, at which time, Cronin says, no objections were raised to the exemption. Cronin stated the Giesens “were specifically assured after the passing of the bylaw the exemption from MDS1 would enable them to sell the lands as building lots, provided the buyer was aware that the parcels would need to be consolidated into a one-acre parcel.� The new zoning bylaw requires a minimum lot size of one acre for a building permit to be issued. Between the spring of 2011 and August of 2012, three cou-
ples, Barb and Gary Huber, Chris and Brittany Huber and Dennis and Tiffany Gleeson, purchased several of the Giesens’ lots. Cronin said all of the couples were advised by township staff that building permits could be issued for the lots as long as they were consolidated into single parcels of at least an acre. On Sept. 24, the Gleeson’s applied for a building permit on their consolidated lot. On Oct. 16, Cronin said, her office received notice from the township’s solicitor, Scott Galadja, indicating the permit could not be issued. ‘Strict reading’ Cronin states that Gladja used a “strict reading� of the bylaw to conclude the consolidated lots were not “existing lots� as of the passage of the bylaw and therefore not covered by the MDS1 exemption. Cronin said such a strict interpretation of the bylaw “would nullify the entire inten-

n bend; earts that ca h e th re a d e n. Bless ver be broke they shall ne us - Albert Cam
tion of the bylaw and result in this exemption having no purpose and no point in law.� Cronin said the purpose of creating the MDS 1 exemption in the bylaw was to permit such lots to be used as building lots. “This was the understanding of the township staff and planners and the information that was consistently communicated to the public,� she stated. “The exemption contemplated building lots, but no building lots could exist until the lots are joined,� said Cronin, adding the “only reasonable interpretation is that the zoning attributes attached to these existing lots must be retained in the one acre lots which they now comprise.� Cronin asked the town to reconsider its position and issue the Gleesons, who are currently renting a place to live while the issue is sorted out, a building permit, or to take steps to amend the wording of
its bylaw “so as to fit its strict interpretation with the intended purpose.� Mayor Bruce Whale replied that “we will certainly take all the information that you have provided into consideration and hopefully we can reach a solution fairly quickly.� Council then moved incamera to meet with the township’s solicitor for close to an hour. After the in-camera session, Whale advised the delegation “our solicitor has requested a week to take into consideration all the information that has been provided by you and hopefully try to pen some options and a solution to this situation as quickly as possible.� Whale said he was hopeful there would be further information in “a week to 10 days.� Council held an additional in-camera session at the end of the Oct. 23 regular meeting.

Brock Shoemaker worked the puck to Tim Bauman who beat netminder Grant Brubacher with a wrist shot. Bethel pulled their goalie in the final minute but Missionary held on for the win. DRAYTON 3 FLORADALE 2 Both teams skated hard into this game, but two quick goals late in the first period gave Drayton the lead. Eric Dekkers scored the pair, assisted by Herman Mulder, Hans Robous and Mark Timmerman. Floradale came back for a goal late in the second.

Neighbourhood Watch information meeting and safety seminar Nov. 7 MAPLETON TWP. - The Mapleton Safe Communities Committee (MSCC) will be hosting a Neighbourhood Watch information seminar on Nov 7 at 7:30pm at the Drayton Fire Hall. The committee invites all residents of Mapleton Township to come out and get informed about various ways to deter crime in

EDITORIAL Be prepared
As the remnants of Hurricane Sandy tore through our region earlier this week, along with the damage, the storm brought a reminder of the importance of being prepared for an emergency at all times. For one thing, it illustrated the foresight of organizers of a mock disaster dubbed Huron Challenge, which simulated a weather-related emergency across Bruce, Grey, Huron and Wellington County just two weeks ago. The exercise, hosted by Emergency Management Ontario and Bruce Power, provided an important test of emergency communications systems and other services across the region. While most of our area escaped major damage, there were incidents, including the death of a Toronto woman killed by flying debris in the high winds Monday night, which brought home the fact that even the “tail end” of a severe weather incident can be dangerous, even deadly. Despite the lengthy warning provided by weather watchers, there were no doubt many of us who headed home from work Monday night with gas tanks approaching empty, to houses where flashlights contained only long-dead batteries and little, if anything, was stored in the way of back-up food and water supplies. While every family will have individualized needs, below is a sample list of items that could make a big difference to how well your family fares in the next emergency, whatever the season. Food Three-day supply of non-perishable food that needs no cooking, a hand-operated can opener, plastic plates, cups, utensils. Water Two gallons per person a day to last three days for drinking and sanitation. First aid First aid kit , backup prescriptions for essential medications. Personal hygiene Hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes; toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags ; dental care and vision products; travel-size soaps; change of clothes, pair of shoes and blanket per person. Baby items Formula, bottles, powdered milk, diapers, wipes , diaper rash ointment. Lighting Flashlights for each family member with extra batteries, fluorescent lanterns for each common area, waterproof matches or a utility lighter. Communication Portable, battery-powered radio, land-line phone with long cord , extra batteries for flashlights, lanterns, radio, extra cell phone battery or car charger, whistle. Family safety items Smoke detector with battery for each floor, carbon monoxide detector with battery backup, fire extinguisher , non-scented bleach for sanitization, sunscreen , insect repellent , shovel and basic tools. Transportation Items Road maps, basic repair items (tools, tire patch kit, engine oil), games, books, puzzles. Patrick Raftis

Mapleton Musings Column courtesy of Mapleton Historical Society Drayton Memorial Park and Cenotaph The Memorial Park and Cenotaph have been there as long as most of us can remember. We take it for granted that we can gather there on Nov. 11 each year to remember and honour those men and women who defended our country. When Great Britain declared war on Germany in August 1914 Canada, as a part of the British Empire, was involved in the conflict. Captain F. B. Smith started drilling the men of Company F, a reserve company, in the council chambers at Drayton town hall that same month. The company was later transferred to London, Ontario. Recruiting meetings were held and many young men from Drayton, Peel and Maryborough enlisted over the next couple of years. They were trained and soon sent to fight in the conflict in France.
Local political leaders helped form Patriotic Leagues to find ways and means to support the war efforts. From the beginning, the Women’s Institute members sewed shirts and pajamas and knit socks by the hundreds to be sent overseas for the service men. From August 1914 to November 1918 the local newspaper, the Advocate reported the names of those who had enlisted in the military service, when they departed for overseas, and of those who were wounded or killed in action. There were accounts of presentations made to departing soldiers, memorial services held in local churches for those killed in action, and welcoming receptions for those returning home. In June 1918 an honour roll for Drayton, Peel, Moorefield and Maryborough was printed in the Advocate. There were 200 names on the roll, includ-

ing four nursing sisters. The list was to be updated from week to week and the editor asked readers to furnish missing names and advise of errors in spelling or otherwise. Finally at 5am Monday morning, Nov. 11, 1918 the news reached Drayton that the armistice between the Allies and Germany was confirmed. At 11am that day a huge crowd gathered at the town hall to hear thankful messages from the reeve and five local clergy, and to sing songs of thanksgiving lead by a union choir. That night a huge bonfire was lit on the village main square on which the effigy of Kaiser “Bill” was burned. In a December 1918 issue of the paper, the editor suggested that a suitable monument, bearing the names of the Drayton, Peel and Maryborough servicemen who were casualties of the war, be erected in Victoria Cemetery, at the town hall or the library. It would be nine years before a memorial became a reality. A news item reported that on Nov. 11, 1919 the school children marched to the village square and sang the national anthem. The November issues of the Advocate from 1920 to 1926 reported that John Lunz, local merchant, displayed the poem In Flanders Fields in his store window during the month and on Nov. 11, 1926 John
Lunz’s ad admonished “Lest We Forget,” and reported Nov. 18, 1926 that the United Church had held an evening Armistice Day service. In January 1927 the formation of a committee to plan a homecoming reunion was reported. Strangely the Advocate reported no fundraising, land acquisition or planning of a memorial, either as a news item about the reunion committee or in the reported minutes of the Women’s Institute, until in the Aug. 4, 1927 issue. In it there was a lengthy account of the four-day homecoming reunion events, which included the dedication and unveiling of the cenotaph. Here we learned the Drayton Women’s Institute designed and had built the cenotaph and gates at Memorial Park on the corner of Wood and Wellington Streets. The park land was donated to the Women’s Institute by local business man Mr. O. B. Henry. At a ceremony and memorial service on July 25, 1927 the Memorial Park was dedicated and the Cenotaph unveiled by His Honour W.D Ross, Lieutentant Governor Ontario. Nevertheless, we owe a debt of gratitude to the Women’s Institute for making sure there is a memorial park and cenotaph where we continue to remember and honour all who have served. submitted by Jean Campbell

Membership Drive Have you ever considered joining the Royal Canadian Legion (RCL)? The Drayton RCL Legion Branch 416 would love your help. This year, in an effort to boost membership levels, the branch is hosting a contest. All memberships paid before Dec.
13, will be entered into a draw for a free one-year Legion membership. The draw will be held at the Drayton Legionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly meeting, Dec. 13. For more information on how to become a member contact Mary Miller at 519-6383324.
Poppy Campaign Ever wonder where that poppy money goes? The Drayton branch 416 of the Royal Canadian Legion (RCL) is now fully immersed in one of its busiest times of the year with its annual Poppy Campaign. The campaign runs from Oct. 26 to Nov. 11 and monies raised from this go to support local, provincial and federal charities. Last year the Drayton Branch distributed proceeds to the Goderich Tornado Relief Fun, The Palmerston and District Hospital Foundation and St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Foundation in London. Funds are also used for the local RCL Essay,
Poetry and Poster competition to further an educational component. Each year the Legion invite selementary and secondary students to participate in the competition. Students have until Nov. 9 to submit their entries. In addition to all of this a certain percentage of the funds are reserved in a trust fund in the event a local veteran requires financial assistance. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Remembrance Day observations will be held on Nov. 11 at 2:30pm at the Drayton Cenotaph. Following the service everyone is invited to the Legion for refreshments and fellowship.
Bugler sounds the call of remembrance on Nov. 11 by Patrick Raftis WATERLOO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For many years now, Nov. 11 has been one of the busiest days of the year for Gerard Helmond. This year on Nov. 11, Helmond will play the traditional tunes of Remembrance Day on the bugle at a morning service in Waterloo, the afternoon service in Drayton and an evening service in Elmira. The Waterloo resident is a member of the Waterloo Region Police Band (WRPB). With skilled buglers much in demand, he makes himself available to perform at as many services as possible. For the past decade, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been providing music, including The Last Post, for the Drayton Remembrance Day
Woods, Clemens & Fletcher
service through a connection with the Elmira Legion branch, which assists with the Drayton ceremonies. Memories of wartime Helmond began playing the bugle at the age of nine in his native Holland. He came to Canada with his family in 1955, at the age of 14. Before that, he recalls as a child watching V1 and V2 rockets flying overhead on their way to strike England, from his home in Gouda. Although not a police officer, Helmond has been playing with the WRPB for the past 34 years. He said the band is made up of 90 per cent civilians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you had to put together a 60 or 70-piece band out of just police officers, it would be pretty difficult,â&#x20AC;? he notes, add-
ing the band includes people from many walks of life â&#x20AC;&#x153;who just enjoy playing music.â&#x20AC;? However, he notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I am in uniform, I have to get authorization for anything I do on my own,â&#x20AC;? such as the Drayton Nov. 11 service. Helmond is also busy in the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day, playing at services in churches, schools and other venues. He is also often called upon to play at the funerals of war veterans. Cenotaph service Nov. 11 The 2012 Remembrance Day Service in Drayton will be held on Nov. 11 at 2:30pm at the cenotaph in Drayton Memorial Park.
