Federal candidates faced large number of questions at debate by David Meyer ALMA - With five political candidates on the dais, it might have seemed impossible they would agree on anything - but one consensus did emerge here on April 19. All of them agreed the Alma Optimists’ new hall is beautiful and a job well done. They made mention of it several times prior to the debate and during it. But when the first question was asked last week for the candidates in the PerthWellington federal riding, that
consensus disappeared. A crowd of over 80 people listened as the candidates replied to a question about a delay in income splitting until the budget is balanced. Conservative Gary Schellenberger said the delay is to get the deficit under control. His party plans deficit reductions for four years, at 25% a year until 2014, and then will introduce income splitting. Green Party candidate John Cowling said his party favours doing it immediately.

Spaling, McGinn advance to 2nd round of NHL playoffs by Chris Daponte WELLINGTON CTY. - Nick Spaling and Jamie McGinn, both natives of Wellington County, have advanced along with their respective teams to the second round of the National Hockey League (NHL) playoffs. Spaling, who hails from Drayton, actually scored two
goals on Sunday - including the game winner - in game 6 to lead the Nashville Predators to a 4-2 series win over the Anaheim Ducks. And Fergus native Jamie McGinn’s team, the San Jose Sharks, defeated the Los Angeles Kings on Monday to win that series 4-2. Continued on page 8
MPs sparring over role of municipalities in process TORONTO - WellingtonHalton Hills MPP Ted Arnott has accused Minister of the Environment John Wilkinson of refusing to account for alleged contradictory promises on industrial wind farm consultations. During a special “late show” debate on April 19 in the Ontario Legislature, which was held at his request, Arnott took the minister to task for statements he felt were less than candid to his constituents. “On numerous occasions,
this minister has failed to clarify his own remarks to his own constituents,” Arnott charged. “For failing to correct his own record, for failing to uphold even the most basic standards of truth, he owes his constituents an apology.” Arnott was referring to a meeting held in May 2010, when the minister appeared to promise that if municipalities refused to sign off on wind farm applications, the Ministry of the Environment would not Continued on page 8
Dynamic duo - David Ellison, left, and Matthew Klumpenhouwer take a seat atop the horses usually ridden by “the Mantracker” himself, Terry Grant, far left, and local guide Garnett Weese.

Lifelong friends to star in ‘Mantracker’ episode by Chris Daponte MAPLETON TWP. David Ellison and Matthew Klumpenhouwer never really believed their application to appear on the television series Mantracker would amount to anything. Respectively known as “Rusty” and “Klumpy,” the lifelong friends waited for over a year to hear if their video application - three times the suggested length and sent in on a whim simply because they enjoyed the show - would be accepted. Klumpenhouwer, who now lives in Perth County but resided in Palmerston at the time, says show officials called to invite them on last May and
offered only three weeks notice - but he still accepted the invitation on the spot. “I didn’t even call Rusty to see if he was interested,” Klumpenhouwer said with a laugh. “I didn’t even ask my wife.” Ellison, who lives with his family on a farm on the west side of Mapleton Township, says the reaction of their families and friends to the news was “mixed,” but most embraced the idea. “Both our wives knew it wasn’t an opportunity that comes around every day,” said Ellison. So the pair flew out to Colorado and spent several days filming the hour-long
episode for season six of Mantracker, which features real-life cowboy and tracker Terry Grant hunting his “prey” - pairs of Canadians trying to make it on foot to a finish line, usually about 40 kilometres away, before Grant captures them. And on May 22 at 9pm, almost one year exactly after the episode was filmed, it will air on the Ontario Life Network (OLN). Of course, Ellison and Klumpenhouwer are sworn to secrecy about the outcome of the show, but they make no bones about how difficult it was. “It was a lot more dangerous than we thought it would be,” Klumpenhouwer said, not-
ing a scar on his arm from trying to traverse the rocky terrain and cliffs in Delores Canyon. “We never thought we’d put our lives in danger like we did.” But that’s all part of the fun, adds his partner. “We did everything we possibly could to win,” Ellison said. “We left it all out there.” Klumpenhouwer, who acknowledged he is the less “athletic” of the pair, said he prepared physically through a “crash diet” and intense physical regimen. Ellison watched dozens of Mantracker episodes and made notes about where previous contestants had gone Continued on page 2
Mapleton council supports local food group Taste Real with $500 by David Meyer MAPLETON TWP. Council here has supported a local food promotion group with $500 after hearing a delegation on April 12. Gayl Creutzberg came to explain the Guelph Wellington Local Food initiative called Taste Real. “There really is value in the local community supporting local businesses,” Creutzberg said, adding that farmers and businesses are now creating a foundation to do that. She said the Taste Real pro-
gram would make local food more accessible to tourists and residents and also for those who might not be able to afford fresh local food. The next step in the promotion is to get local food placed in schools and day care centres, and at community events, as well as having local restaurants involved. Taste Real will undertake the promotion of such things as farmers’ markets. In 2008 those had economic impacts of $641-million to $1.9-billion. “There are 318,000

people eating in Guelph and Wellington County,” Creutzberg said in her report. “If a third of regional residents [the survey includes Waterloo Region] had access to and spent $10 of their grocery budget on local foods each week, this would contribute over $1-million to the local economy each year. “Better yet, if all residents purchased 10% of their food locally, there would be $45-million spent locally.” She said for $500, the township would receive a number
of benefits, including the use of the Taste Real logo on marketing and event materials and merchandise (as approved by the brand management group). The township would also receive input on marketing, promotions, Taste Real product development, and use of the brand, as well as committee involvement and rotating membership on the board. That provides council with an inside opportunity to ensure its stakeholders are featured when opportunities arise. The township will also par-

Finally, the township would have its logo on the Guelph Wellington Local Food map and website, and collaborative advertising, public relations, media and social media promotions for the township and stakeholders. Councillor Jim Curry asked how such clubs as Rotary could access local food information
to buy locally for its events. Creutzberg said Taste Real has a data base. And, for example, all a club member would have to do is type in “ground beef” in order to find out where to buy it locally. She also noted local producers are listed on the food map. Martin Tamlyn, who has worked in the area for an organic company and was with Creutzberg to support her presentation, said the local fall fair could be a Taste Real event. He Continued on page 2

Lifelong friends to star in ‘Mantracker’ episode FROM PAGE ONE wrong. And the pair ran from Palmerston to Harriston to “see where [they] were at” and to “get the blisters out of the way” after purchasing new footwear. “It broke our spirits too, I think,” Ellison said with a laugh. But in the end, it was all worth it. Both men count the experience as a very positive one and, whether they wanted
it or not, they have become local celebrities of sorts, as the news has spread in their local communities and online through sites like Facebook. “Every time I go to the feed store or the hardware store, people ask me about it,” Klumpenhouwer said. One of the most common questions, of course, is how the pair fared. “We’ll let the audience decide,” Ellison said, adding
the goal was to come within 3km of the finish before getting caught. “It should be worth the watch.” Asked how the experience affected their friendship, both Klumpenhouwer and Ellison joke around at first, then they look at each other in acknowledgement of a certain tiff at 2am one night during the filming. “We had one tense moment,” Klumpenhouwer
said, though they now laugh it off. “We gelled well together from start to finish,” Ellison added. “At the end of the day, I think it solidified our relationship even more.” For more information on OLN or the Mantracker series, visit oln.ca.

FROM PAGE ONE said to Curry, “Call me, Jim.” Curry replied, “We’ll be in touch.” Councillor Neil Driscoll asked if Taste Real will promote any food grown in the county. Creutzberg said it would, and organizers would like to get larger farms involved. Mayor Bruce Whale said restaurants could take part, but he wanted to know if local items sold there would need a

Taste Real logo. Creutzberg said, “To become a Taste Real member, we want restaurants to buy from five member producers.” That means produce grown in the county. Creutzberg also said there will be spring and fall tours of farms arranged, with 15 to 20 farms open to the public to promote food grown locally. Those will be on May 28 and Sept. 24. Whale said the promotion does affect a large part of
Wellington County, but added he sees an Elmira promotion involved. Creutzberg said tourism and food “know no boundaries.” She said Conn-grown tomatoes are sold in Elmira, and it is often Wellington residents who buy them and bring them back to the county. Chief Administrative Officer Patty Sinnamon said the Wellington County economic development group has talked extensively about the promotion, and is planning
an event in September, where local chefs will participate. Whale said 80% of the omega 3 milk available in Ontario is produced in Mapleton, but there is nothing to designate that, and several companies provide it, with a major one located in Georgetown. He told Creutzberg council would make its decision later in the meeting, and when that issue arose, council passed it unanimously.

TORONTO - More than 19,618 people in communities across Ontario walked to end multiple sclerosis at the MS Walk last week. Participants walked and wheeled route lengths typically ranging from 2 to 10 kilome-
tres, with the common goal to end MS. More than $4.4-million in pledges was raised. Proceeds will help provide services for local people with MS and their families, as well as fund research into the cause and cure of multiple sclerosis.
“I know how overwhelming a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis can be to a family,” said Cheryl Amar, whose family was inspired to join the MS Walk after daughter Jaclyn was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last fall.
The MS Society of Canada’s next fundraising event is the MS carnation campaign, which will take place from May 5 - 7. That kick off MS Awareness Month across Canada. Visit mssociety.ca, or call 1-800268-7582 for information.

Federal candidates faced large number of questions at Alma debate FROM PAGE ONE Liberal Bob McTavish said it is a good idea but won’t happen because the country is a long way from a balanced budget - and Stephen Harper squandered a $13-billion Liberal surplus. Christian Heritage Party candidate Irma DeVries favours income splitting, but her party would abolish income tax and support a consumption tax. NDP candidate Ellen Pappenburg said her party has always had balanced budgets “no matter where they were in government” but Conservatives favour large companies that take jobs to other countries. Someone asked what candidates thought about voters who do not like the party leader but want to support a good local candidate. McTavish said that is difficult. He said the way he sees it in the future, parliament is run by its 308 MPs. Cowling said in Canada’s system, people vote for candidates and not parties. His party favours proportional representation voting. DeVries said it is time to break up the prime minister’s

powers, such as the ability to make patronage appointments. Schellenberger was blunt. “Anyone who votes for Gary Schellenberger votes for Stephen Harper.” Someone asked how to justify tax cuts. Schellenberger said Canada has one of the lowest tax rates on corporations in the world and, as a result of cuts over the last five years, corporations such as Tim Hortons’ head offices have returned to Canada. He said the cuts “will create more jobs.” DeVries said there should be no tax cuts for corporations. Pappenburg said if corporations get tax breaks, it is people
who have to compensate for that lost cash. She said big companies got tax breaks and still moved jobs out of Canada. Cowling said subsidies to oil companies in Canada are over $1-billion “yet they are the most profitable in the world.” His party would remove those subsidies “immediately.” McTavish said tax reductions started under former Prime Minister Paul Martin, and they did make a difference for companies then. He said instead of working in the past few years, that extra tax cash “went straight to the bottom line.” Liberals would hold tax cuts to 2010 levels. Someone asked how to
attract young farmers. Pappenburg advocated an “orderly market system” and said Canada will have to protect its farmers in trade agreements. Cowling said the key is to “make farming profitable.” McTavish said a good risk management system is vital, and the Liberals would consult with farmers and see what they think is best. DeVries said the average farmer is over 52, and the quota systems need to be managed so young people can afford them. She also likes personal income security accounts, similar to RRSPs, where farmers could save in good years and have cash available in bad times. Schellenberger said it is tough when a 150-acre farm in the riding recently sold for $14,000 per acre, and young farmers cannot borrow the money to get started. He said $2.3-billion in equalization payments are going to Ontario to aid agriculture. Another question was directed to Schellenberger about veterans and how to help them when they suffer after giving service to Canada.
Schellenberger is the chairman of the veterans affairs committee for parliament. He said there were upgrades for veterans aid before the election. He said in 2006 there was a new Veterans Charter implemented, but, “Parts of it didn’t work very well.” He added the committee is working on issue to help veterans. DeVries said Canada’s Armed Forces deserve the best equipment and veterans and wounded deserve the best treatment, including counselling for post traumatic stress syndrome. Pappenburg said veterans have been “left in the lurch. That has to change.” She said Russia did not succeed in Afghanistan, so why does Canada think it can. Cowling said it was “morally reprehensible” to take away veteran support. “I think it blew up in the Conservatives’ faces.” McTavish agreed with Cowling, but added, “I take Gary at his word great improvements were made in this.” Someone wanted to know about immigration policies for Canada. DeVries said it is a big issue, because only one in ten
accepted is actually screened. She said the immigration department “is broken.” And she would like to see a moratorium until there are corrections. Pappenburg said “We are all immigrants - a lot of us.” She said “Years ago, it was not easy.” Now, she added, “We get people here with skills and we don’t help them” to work in their area of skill. She cited doctors, in particular as a problem. Cowling said Canada is “doing as well as we can,” and there is no population problem we have to solve.” He would like to see better language training and sustainable immigration “rather than open the floodgates.” McTavish said he is unaware of any Liberal platform on immigration. Schellenberger said when his party came to power, “The backlog was enormous.” He added last year 260,000 people immigrated to Canada, one of the biggest groups in the country’s history. “We are trying to get skilled people,” he said, adding the government is concerned with ‘queue jumpers and human smugglers.”
Bank provides $10,000 to support nurses Building on a commitment to support health care and nurses, RBC has announced $20,000 in donations to North Wellington Health Care Corporation and the Groves Hospital in Fergus. The equal donations will fund training programs and educational opportunities that will allow local nurses to provide “leading-edge” health care
to the community. The bank will be launching the Nursing Excellence awards program during National Nurse’s Week (May 9 to 13). The community is invited into the RBC Fergus and Mount Forest branches to read stories of six exceptional nurses and vote for the nurse they feel is most deserving of a bursary for professional development.
The winners will use the bursary for training programs and continuing education to further develop their skills and provide advanced health care services to the community. “Continuing education programs are a vital component in the ongoing training and professional development of nurses,” said Gianni Accettola, NWHC manager.

Election penalties We admit the federal election began its life as a snorer, but it has at least picked up the pace to a point where a number of Canadians are actually watching now. In the Perth-Wellington and Wellington-Halton Hills ridings, the ones that affect Wellington County, there is stark contrast in choices. In Perth-Wellington, we sat in on a debate in Alma on April 19. We were surprised and pleased at the responses of candidates, particularly from three parties that have never had a taste of power on the federal scene. It was instructive to see the spirit the Green, New Democratic and Christian Heritage Parties demonstrated. John Cowling, Ellen Pappenburg and Irma DeVries brought a passion for Canada and for righting what they see to be federal wrongs. It was easy to understand why their parties have been picking up votes and interest. It is the opposite in Wellington-Halton Hills. The NDP and Christian Heritage candidates have not attended candidates meetings. Reporters and meeting organizers have lamented there is not even a phone number for that NDP candidate. She has no signs, no pamphlets we have seen, no advertising and, by her efforts, little interest. Her counterpart in the Christian Heritage Party, Jeffrey Streutker (who shall be named because he is at least listed and easy to contact), has also run a silent campaign, but he will comment freely and is easy to reach by telephone because he uses high technology that allows a caller to track him down. We wonder, though, why it is that if these are truly national parties, they field candidates in the race only in name. Is that $2 per vote per year of our tax dollars what makes some parties field so many candidates every year? We note, too, after listening to Conservative MPs Gary Schellenberger in Perth-Wellington and Michael Chong in Wellington-Halton Hills, that their opening speeches carry the same themes and, in some cases, the same words. If nothing else, they are showing a fair amount of discipline, something party leader Stephen Harper is hoping will lead to a majority on May 2. Meanwhile, across some of the country, the media were going gaga over Jack Layton and the NDP; something that brought about an acute sense of déjà vu. We followed Bob Rae’s campaign in 1991 when he suddenly became premier - almost by accident. But Layton has done hard work in Quebec and is on the verge of marginalizing the Bloc Quebecois. Had Michael Ignatieff done the same there and across the rest of the country, instead of expecting somehow to have people return his Liberals to power as the natural governing party, he might actually have had a chance on May 2. Call it yet another time the Liberals failed to do the work to convince people they are fit to govern. Now it might be too late. If the NDP rise continues and it becomes the leader of the opposition, Ignatieff will be gone, and perhaps the Liberal Party along with it. Mr. Ignatieff might secretly have liked the idea of becoming prime minister via a coalition, but in third place he can never hope to hold that office. Layton would. On the other hand, if the Conservatives win a majority, we can at least expect one thing. Chong has stated marginal parties get the majority of their funding from the $2 taxpayer subsidy, which is paid every year. Without it, he said, the Bloc Quebecois would whither away. So, likely, would the Green Party, whose candidate in Wellington-Halton Hills, Brent Bouteiller, has stated gets about 70% of its funding from taxpayers. Chong, and we, too, do not like the idea of funding separatists. Getting funded only by donations means people exercise control over all parties. It will take time to determine what is going to become of the parties and their leaders. One good bet is at least one, maybe two, and possibly three or four, might be gone by the beginning of the next election. That’s not all bad. David Meyer

Mapleton Musings Column courtesy of Mapleton Historical Society Memories of Drayton “Bus” Fifty some years ago Brock Davis, who worked for the Drayton Advocate newspaper, wrote an article reminiscing about the railway. It seems well worth sharing
it and the accompanying picture, from a post card. “An awe-inspiring experience remembered from Drayton boyhood in the early 1920s is being under the railway bridge as the mighty
Grand Trunk locomotive thundered overhead. The bridge of those days replaced the original one on the old Wellington Grey and Bruce line. A few years back it was replaced by the present one which was built for
export to China but came hear when the Korean War upset the Orient. “Many are the memories revolving around the old railroad bridge. We felt a veritable Balboa when first we attained
its summit and gazed west on the vast Conestogo valley below. One time Mr. Neuert (he lived where Jim Robertson is now) was part way across when a train happened along. Although not a young man, he was able to cling safely to the side of the bridge as the CNR hurtled by. When we think of the Grand Trunk, the Drayton ‘bus’ invariably comes to mind. Joe McCrea used it to transport railway travelers to and from the village. It had probably been a stage coach. It was mounted well off the road; passengers entered by the rear door to which was attached a long leather strap connecting through the bus to Mr. McCrea driving his horses out front: it always fascinated us to think he could pull this strap and close the door without dismounting. “Inside the bus, redolent with the ‘horsey’ aroma and commercial travellers’ cigars, passengers sat down each side; luggage was carried on the roof
outside, which had a metal railing around it. The bus’ exterior was painted a bright yellow. “The bus gave way to the automobile, and eventually John McIsaac took over from Mr. McCrea, who had become manager of the telephone office. Until comparatively recent times, horses were still used in winter in the days before snow plowing. “The winter bus, a frail canvas-sided affair, was precariously mounted on two sets of sleighs; it was none too warm inside, light at night was provided by an oil lantern that hung by the back door. One stormy day this winter bus became air-borne on the station road, with only the weight of the horses preventing its flight. “But the era is over. On Saturday a steam-powered passenger train will chug into Drayton station for the last time on regular schedule. Hail! O! Diesel Railiner!”

A little story about God’s power
Strumming to the beat - Many young musicians anxiously awaited to perform at this year’s Drayton Kinsmen Music Festival on Easter Monday. This was the 8th anniversary of the festival and organizer Derek Moore quipped that with the continued support of the Drayton Kinsmen, hopefully in the future there will be an 80th anniversary
for the fact that by His stripes we have been healed. “Do you feel any better now?� I eventually asked. She started moving her back and her arms around, stretching this way and that. “I ... I think so ...� she replied hesitatingly at first. Then she continued, “Yeah, it does feel a bit better.� So, we carried on, thanking the Lord for the work He was doing. Well, the long story short is that by the time they had driven about an hour the pain had completely left. Not only so, it was still gone when they arrived home. The next morning, expecting to get out of bed with much discomfort, Hanna got up and went about her
duties ... absolutely free of all pain. Furthermore, in spite of a small “backlash� wherein she briefly prayed and it left her immediately, she has been pain-free ever since. This account has been repeated time and time again throughout the world in the lives of numerous people in all lands and times. Stories of healing, with medical confirmation, over and over again. This experience can be yours also. When and as God is made alive to you and in you by His Holy Spirit, He will do everything and anything He desires to do, for “with God nothing will be impossible� (Luke 1:37).
Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you (Jeremiah 32:17). My sister-in-law, Hanna, was visiting with us one day. She had been suffering since she was a teenager with debilitating back pain. It had gotten so bad in recent years that she remained bent over for days, sometimes hardly able to move. She had gone to therapy on numerous occasions, without much relief. Their visit was almost over and her husband had gone out rayton ocation to the car and was packing the 10 Wellington St North trunk in preparation for their drive home; about an eightUnit 1, Drayton hour drive from where we live. As she perched on the edge of Drivers the piano bench, wincing in obvious discomfort, my wife Course riving chool and I simply and quietly went “Collision-Free Driving for a LIFEtime� next over and started to pray for her.

Fundraising concert is May 14 “Be the change you want to see in the world� is a quote which speaks to many. In response to the plight of the 1.2 million orphaned Zambians, the GEMS group of Palmerston feels compelled to try to change their circumstances. The GEMS program is a Christian girls ministry which mentors girls both here in North America and in Zambia. For the past five years a group of women have traveled to Zambia in the spring to train women to teach and mentor girls in a country where women and girls are not valued. These five women come from Michigan, Charlottetown and Acton, including Palmerston GEMS Leader, Irene Drost. After hearing their stories these women recognized Zambia’s need for education, especially for orphans with little or no resources, and felt the need to effect change by building a school. The Chief of the Chongwe district, Zambia heard of their plan and donated 25 acres of land for a school and thus the Esther School Building Project was begun. An evening of musical entertainment has been organized as a fundraising effort for the Esther School Building Project in Zambia. A Celebrate Spring! concert will be held on May 14 at 7:30pm at the Drayton Reformed Church and will feature the Horst Singers, No Strings Attached, Lindsay Shaw, Kara Shaw, Peter Schofield and Paul & Michel Allard. Intermission will include desserts. This is an opportunity to make a difference in the life of a child and “be the change.� Tickets are $20 and are available at the door, at Shaw Music in Fergus or by calling Irene Drost at 519-338-2671.

Arnott, Wilkinson still sparring over municipal role in wind farm process FROM PAGE ONE approve them. Both the Wellington Advertiser and the Community News reported his statements in their May 21 editions. “Either he didn’t know what he was talking about, or he deliberately misled the people who turned out to express their legitimate concerns about wind farm proposals for their neighbourhoods,” Arnott said after last week’s late show debate. One of the minister’s constituents attended the May 2010 meeting and, in a recent email to the minister, with a copy sent to Arnott, backed up the newspapers’ account. “You gave us the impression that the municipality had the right not to sign if they felt the company had failed to address concerns by the municipality.” But by allowing a wind farm proposal for Mapleton Township to proceed even though it lacked the municipal consultation form, Arnott said Wilkinson betrayed his previous statements. Mapleton and Wellington County had each chosen not to sign that supposedly required form. “Instead of doing the right thing and acknowledging he was wrong, he chose to attack me,” Arnott said. “But it’s not about me. Opposition MPPs have a responsibility to hold
the government to account; when a minister makes misleading statements, we must call attention to them.” He concluded: “In the final analysis, his constituents will hold him accountable as well.” Wilkinson’s response Wilkinson also released a statement after the two MPPs held a debate. He defended the wind energy project of the government. Wind Energy projects provide lease income to landowners and new income opportunities for municipalities,” he said. “A 50 megawatt wind farm generates a minimum of $150,000 in tax revenue for municipalities and another $150,000 in annual lease payments for rural landowners.” He added, “Municipal consultation is an essential part of the renewable energy approvals process. We want to hear from municipalities. Our act actually says that, by law, companies must provide municipalities an opportunity to have their say.” He said, “Our renewable energy approval process is coordinated, efficient, and transparent. But Wilkinson was not as adamant as he was in May 2010 when he said municipal consultation was going to be required. He told Arnott, “Again, a municipal consultation form is

On Saturday morning the Drayton Minor Hockey organization will be patrolling Drayton, Rothsay and Moorefield, collecting beer, liquor and wine bottles. We would also like to help support the Drayton area foodbank by collecting non-perishable items to help keep the shelves full. We will have a trailer set up as the main drop off in the Drayton Foodmarket parking lot and will gladly accept your donations there also. Thank you in advance from your Drayton Minor Hockey Association
the primary way we hear from municipalities. I encourage municipalities to fill it out – tell us your concerns – because we will make the company address any reasonable ones or the project will not go forward. But they are not limited to that form– we will take their comments in any form they choose to provide them.” Wellington County decided it will not take part in the consultation process, but the county Warden, Chris White, has contacted Wilkinson over the issue. Wilkinson said of that, “That’s why I’m pleased that Warden White and the County of Wellington wrote to me – their feedback is now included in the submission that will be thoroughly reviewed and decided on. Wilkinson added, “I want to be clear. Not signing the form is not a veto, but we will say no unless municipalities have had an opportunity to have their say.” He also charged that a Progressive Conservative government would remove wind turbines as an issue. He said the Green Energy Act has benefited people in his riding and in Arnott’s. “Many of those people are local farmers, small businesses and families in my riding and in the riding of the member opposite. That’s who I’m standing up for today – they work hard everyday to underpin our rural economy. That’s why I’m proud to be part of a government that is supporting them. He added, “We already know that your leader [Tim Hudak] wants to rip up these contracts. Kris Barnier, staffer in his office said, ‘We need to be perfectly clear, a PC government will shut down all of the planned expansion of the micro Feed In Tariff plan. There will be no new contracts.’ Your plan will hurt farmers, hurt local business owners, and hurt parents wanting cleaner air for their kids Wilkinson said, “So you have repeatedly accused me of being contradictory so let me be very clear … We believe in the values of the Green Energy Act – cleaner air, transparent and consultative process, and new jobs and supporting our local farmers and businesses.”
Looking for help - Five Perth County farmers are looking for combines to assist them in harvesting 160 acres of soybeans in five minutes. They are hoping to set a world record and raise funds for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank through the Harvest for Hunger Project. Richard Van Donkersgoed, Peter Rastorfer, Mike Koetsier, Randy Drenth and John Tollenaar hope to raise over $200,000 in the field, which then could be matched by CIDA. The land for the soybeans has been donated; they just need combines. Anyone interested should contact Randy Drenth at 519-327-9504. photo by Sharon Grose
Spaling leads team to first ever series win; McGinn penalized for hit FROM PAGE ONE Spaling’s goals were his first two of the post season, and his second goal could be viewed as one of the most important in franchise history. The game winning goal the predators added an empty netter with 10 seconds remaining to win the deciding game 4-2 - sealed the series victory for Nashville. It was the first time the franchise ever advanced past the first round of the playoffs in its 12-year history. “It’s kind of surreal right now,” Spaling told The Tenessean, a local Nashville newspaper. “To win a round, let alone score in the game, is really exciting for me and the team. It’s just been great.” Following the win, Predators head coach Barry Trotz heralded the play of Spaling, who centres the team’s third line. “Nick Spaling is not known for scoring a lot goals, but there he is scoring big goals,” Trotz told NHL.com. Spaling, 22, played 74 regular season games for the team and registered 14 points (eight goals and six assists). But his playing time increased as the season wore on and teammates have commented on how well rounded he has become as a player. In addition to his two goals in game 6 on Sunday - he now has four points in the playoffs - Spaling logged 17:32 of ice time, had three shots, two hits PAGE EIGHT The

and won seven of 10 face-offs. “He will do whatever it takes to help the team,” linemate Jerred Smithson told The Tenessean. “He just goes out there every shift, every night, and battles hard. He does all the little things right. For him to get the success he’s getting right now, it’s great to see.” Spaling himself is quick to credit linemates and teammates, and said he is just looking forward to moving on to the next round. “Everybody is excited right now,” Spaling said in The Tenessean. “To win our first playoff series, we’re pumped. Now we want to keep it going.” If Chicago beats Vancouver in game 7 of their series (the results were no known by press time), Nashville will be meeting Detroit in the second round. If Vancouver wins, Nashville will be playing Vancouver. Friday, August 13,

Community News,
There is no chance Spaling’s team will meet McGinn’s unless it is in the Western Conference finals and both Nashville and San Jose win their respective round two series. Unlike Spaling, McGinn had somewhat of an inauspicious end to the first round of the playoffs. Though his team won 4-3 in overtime on Monday, McGinn, 22, left the game with just over three minutes remaining after he slammed Brad Richardson into the boards and was given a five minute major penalty for charging and an automatic game misconduct. The call, and specifically the severity, was questioned by some following the game, especially considering the hits that have gone unpenalized in this year’s playoffs, including one hit from behind by Philadelphia Flyers centre Brad Richards on Buffalo’s Tim Connolly on Sunday. It was McGinn’s second game in the playoffs, during which he has amassed 15 penalty minutes. During the regular season, the Fergus native played 49 games and registered six points and 33 penalty minutes. The winger, known for the energy he brings to the table, has spent the past three seasons splitting time between San Jose - where he plays on the third or fourth lines - and the team’s American Hockey League affiliate, the Worcester Sharks.
