Town pursues urban boundary expansion By Patrick Raftis MINTO – Pursing a 100acre extension of the urban boundary of Palmerston was among the recommendations agreed to by Minto council from a growth report presented on July 2. CAO Chris Harrow told council the province’s 2019 growth plan update indicates an expectation Minto will grow by 3,745 people by 2041. That translates into 1,330 new homes. “This is a housing unit creation rate of 53 per year, a figure met in 2017 and 2018, but well above historic levels in prior years,� notes a report from Triton Engineering senior planner Bill White. “The North Clifford Secondary Plan and West Palmerston Secondary Plan provide a mechanism to meet these growth targets.� Harrow stated, “If we go by that data right now we don’t have enough urban area in the town of Palmerston to accommodate that. We’re okay in the other two towns (Harriston and Clifford).� White’s report explains the new government opened consultations on the previous (2017) growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region shortly after last spring’s provincial election. “Most elements of the 2019 growth plan are the same as the 2017 document. The planning horizon is still to 2041,� White states in the report. “The policies still require municipalities plan for a range and mix of housing options, including second units, affordable housing and in particular higher density

Urban expansion - The Town of Minto is pursuing expansion of the urban area of the town of Palmerston in order to accommodate future growth targets. Photo by Patrick Raftis housing. The 2019 growth plan prohibits growth in ‘new’ rural settlement areas where there is no municipal water or sewer services, but allows boundary expansions to meet growth targets set in the plan where existing or planned infrastructure is proposed. There are some new provisions in the 2019 Growth Plan that allow the boundary expansion in West Palmerston to proceed earlier than anticipated.� The 2019 growth plan specifies municipalities such as Minto in the “outer ring� of the Greater Golden Horseshoe that have excess lands designated for development, may now use some tools in the new plan to adjust the amount of land within their urban boundary. This new provision gives flexibility for rural municipalities like Minto to expand urban boundaries in a settlement area like Palmerston by decreasing the size of another settlement area. The Clifford Secondary Plan acknowledges that county growth targets can be met in the north end of the
community where the town installed trunk water and sewer infrastructure in 2018, but there is 165 acres of land inside the Clifford urban boundary that is not serviced and may not be needed to meet county growth targets. There is also excess settlement area designated in Teviotdale where there are no municipal services, White’s report points out. Harrow noted that inclusion in the Greater Golden Horseshoe area puts Minto at a disadvantage in terms of attracting development compared to neighbouring municipalities outside the designated zone. “Our neighbours in Huron County and Perth County aren’t part of the golden horseshoe, where we unfortunately are, so we’re held to different standards,� said Harrow. Council received the report and directed staff and Triton Engineering to meet with the county to further implement the North Clifford Secondary Plan and West Palmerston Secondary Plan as outlined in the report.
Third cannabis facility proposed for Palmerston Industrial Park MINTO – A zoning change that would bring the number of planned cannabis-growing operations in the Palmerston Industrial Park to three has been approved by town council. On July 2, Minto council passed a bylaw approving a zoning change for a property owned by Tucker Industries. The amendment permits the indoor cultivation of cannabis for commercial sale by a licensed producer, subject to approval and licensing by Health Canada under the
Cannabis Act or subsequent regulations. Tucker Industries Inc. is a custom machine builder with experience in the automotive, medical, mining, food production, postal and material handling industries. The company has been in operation in Minto since 2011 and at 135 Minto Road since early 2016. The company currently has eight full-time employees, including a mechanical designer, controls specialist, machinists and fabricators. The company has announced its intent to diver-

sify into legal cannabis cultivation, processing and equipment industry through the formation of Mont Vert (MV) Technologies. The new venture will also be at 135 Minto Road, Palmerston. A report from Wellington County senior planner Michelle Innocente notes the subject property is approximately 1.35 hectares (3.34 acres). The applicant is planning to use the existing 975.5m2 (10,500 ft2) building on the property for the cannabis facility. However, the company states, “We do not intend to
reduce our existing operations due to this diversification. “As we approach final approval from Health Canada we intend to lease two additional separate facilities, ideally within the Town of Minto, to allow for the continuation of operations in our fabrication and custom machine building business. There will be no job losses,� Tucker Industries owner Jason Montgomery stated during a public meeting on the proposal. “We note that facility will be entirely indoors, and will

include typical components associated with an industrial use such as shipping, receiving, loading, truck and employee traffic, deliveries, etc., which are appropriate in an industrial area,� the county report notes. “The inclusion of indoor cultivation is compatible in an industrial area and involves many of the same supportive activities.� The Tucker Industries operation will be the third proposed cannabis growing operation in the Palmerston Industrial Park. Montgomery explained
that, as of May 8, Health Canada is requiring all new applicants for such facilities to have a “fully built-out� facility at the time of application. He said this requirement could potentially speed up the approvals process for those with buildings in place. Montgomery also noted the planned facility will meet all security and zoning requirements. “First and foremost, the Town of Minto is our community,� he stated. “Our priority will be to impact the community positively with every decision we make.�

Disney blockbuster makes headlines at St. Jacobs Country Playhouse ST. JACOBS – Extra! Extra! This just in! Disney’s blockbuster musical Newsies leaps onto the stage at the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse for three weeks only. This exciting megamusical, and winner of the 2012 Tony Award for Best Choreography, will entertain audiences of all generations with its heart, humour, and high-energy dancing from July 18 to Aug. 3. This production marks the Canadian professional premiere of the musical. Based on the beloved 1992 Disney movie inspired by the true story of the newsboy strike of 1899, Newsies is the rousing tale of a band of street kids who sell newspapers in New York City. When Joseph Pulitzer and the titans of publishing raise distribution prices taking away most of their meager profits, charismatic leader Jack Kelly rallies the “newsies” from across the city to rise up and strike against the unfair conditions. Their cause becomes even

of New York City soon recognizes the power of young people. Packed with spectacular dancing and a sensational score by Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid) including the hit songs Carrying the Banner, Seize the Day, and Santa Fe, Newsies is described as "an uplifting Broadway blockbuster with a timeless message that inspires everyone to fight for what’s right and seize the day." “Newsies is an incredibly entertaining show bursting with impressive choreography, and fun, catchy songs – we’re very excited to bring this new Disney hit to the stage in Waterloo Region,” said Alex Mustakas, Drayton Entertainment artistic director and CEO. “Along with its dazzling dancing and memorable music, Newsies’ inspirational underdog story reminds all of us how young people have the power to change the
world. Audiences are going to be wowed.” Director David Connolly is at the helm of this Disney dynamo. Connolly has directed several other hits for Drayton Entertainment including Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Mamma Mia!, Hairspray, Jack and the Beanstalk: The Panto, and others. Newsies is famous for its athletic dancing and Drayton Entertainment has engaged award-winning choreographer Marc Kimelman to bring the dance sequences to life. Kimelman was the associate choreographer for Broadway’s A Bronx Tale, the Assistant choreographer for Broadway’s Tonynominated Jesus Christ Superstar, and the associate choreographer for the Disney workshop of Freaky Friday. Among many other credits, he has also worked with the New York City Ballet. Connolly and Kimelman are joined by music director

Mark Camilleri, set designer Brian Dudkiewicz, costume designers Rachel Berchtold and Adrienne Pink, lighting designer Kaileigh Krysztofiak, assistant choreographer Josh Assor, and fight director Joe Bostick. A cast has been assembled for this musical. Vancouver’s Kale Penny is the underdog hero and brave leader of the newsies, Jack Kelly, an orphaned dreamer and artist who yearns to get out of the crowded streets of New York and make a better life for himself out west in Santa Fe. Penny previously appeared as Drew in Rock of Ages and in Man of La Mancha for Drayton Entertainment. He also appeared as Carl Perkins in Million Dollar Quartet for the Arts Club and The Citadel. Penny is a recording artist with a debut album called The Tracks. Fresh from the Broadway production of Kinky Boots, Julia McLellan takes on the role of feisty and resourceful young writer Katherine Plumber, who aims to make a name for herself as a legitimate journalist in a time when female reporters are fighting for a voice. In addition to appearing in the Drayton Entertainment productions of Footloose, Snow White: The Panto, and Kings & Queens of Country, the Truro, Nova Scotia native also appeared as Val in A Chorus Line for the Stratford Festival and in the national tours of Kinky Boots and The Wizard of Oz. Canadian recording artist and four-time Juno-award winner Simone A. Denny is Medda Larkin, a big-voiced saloon singer and star of the Bowery who offers her theatre as a safe haven for the newsies to support their fight for justice. Denny is known as the front-woman of the famed Canadian music group Love Inc., whose '90s single You’re a Superstar was a global hit. Denny’s voice is also recognizable from the song All Things (Just Keep Getting Better), the theme from the popular TV reality show, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Gregory Pember is Jack’s wise-cracking best friend Crutchie, who walks with a crutch but doesn’t let it hold him back – he’s the ultimate optimist who believes in the cause and greets every challenge with a smile. Pember has previously appeared in a number of Drayton Entertainment productions including Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Beauty and the Beast, Rock of Ages, and more. Daniel Greenberg makes his Drayton Entertainment debut as Davey, the smart
and strait-laced big brother of Les, who starts selling newspapers to help his family earn a living. Greenberg has appeared in many productions across Canada including The Little Mermaid, All Shook Up, Jersey Boys and Legally Blonde. Thomas Winiker is Davey’s mischievous little brother Les, a pint-sized charmer and natural sales boy who is inspired by the newsies and wants to be one of them. Winiker recently appeared as Benji in the Drayton Entertainment production of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Stephen Sparks is Joseph Pulitzer, the greedy and pompous owner of The World newspaper, who is solely concerned with the bottom line and does not sympathize with the young strikers. Sparks has worked in theatres across Canada appearing in productions such as Man of La Mancha at the Globe Theatre, The Sound of Music at Persephone Theatre, The 39 Steps at Sudbury Theatre, Private Lives at Showboat Festival, and many more over his 30-year career. George Absi, Josh Assor, Alex Batycki, Kieran Bohay, Ethan Bucholtz, George Burden-Cheresna, Louise Camilleri, Michael Cox, Graeme Goodhall, Taran Kim, Kyla Musselman, Eamon Stocks, Robbie Towns, Jesse Weafer and Sandy Winsby round out the cast. Since the film release in 1992 and subsequent DVD release, Newsies has grown into a cult phenomenon, and for years had been the single most requested title of all the Disney musical films not yet adapted for the stage. With a book by Harvey Fierstein, music by Alan Menken, and lyrics by Jack Feldman, the stage adaptation of Newsies premiered at the Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey in 2011. Since 2011, Newsies has played to almost three million audience members on Broadway and on tour. It received 23 major theatrical nominations, including eight Tony Award nominations. Regular performance tickets are $48 for adults, $29 for youth under 20 years of age. Tickets for select discount dates and groups of 20 or more are $39. HST is applicable to all ticket prices. Newsies runs July 18 to Aug. 3 at the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse. Tickets may be purchased in person at any Drayton Entertainment box office, by calling the box office toll-free at 1-855-drayton (372-9866), or online instantly at www. draytonentertainment.com.

Annual fish fry held in Clifford By Bonnie Whitehead CLIFFORD Ellen Underwood co-ordinated a fish fry for Knox United Church on June 28 at the community hall in Clifford. Dave Hockley of Blue Mountain Catering and his partner Elaine Desroches cooked over 300 pieces of fish. Trays of cooked fish were carried to the volunteers responsible to fill the take-out containers to be delivered. Other fish was delivered to the serving table to complete the meal with baked pota-
toes, corn niblets, buttered carrots, coleslaw, and rolls. The dessert table was filled with an assortment of pie, cheesecake, and carrot cake. A silent auction offered farm fresh eggs, plants and planters, dish soap sets, bird house, solar lamp, duvet, baby quilt, umbrella, sign, picnic basket, and an hour long airplane ride for three. This dinner is held annually on Friday of the Canada Day long weekend and coincides nicely with the annual classic truck show held at the Rotary pavilion park.
County, health unit provide tips for weathering extreme heat GUELPH – The County of Wellington issued a caution to residents on July 4, after Environment and Climate Change Canada issued a heat warning for Guelph, Wellington County and Dufferin County. Temperatures were expected to reach above 31°C (humidex greater than 40) over the next two days. “The combination of high heat, high humidity, and exposure to the sun’s UV rays can be hazardous to your health,” states a press release from the county. “It’s important to prepare for hot weather to help prevent heatrelated illness and death.” The release also contained a list of tips for extreme heat
situations from Wellington Dufferin Guelph Public Health. Know the forecast You can find out when there’s a heat warning by following: - local weather reports; - warnings from Environment Canada; and - @WDGPublicHealth on Twitter. Have a plan Plan breaks from the heat by spending a few hours in a cool place. It could be a treeshaded area or splash pad, or an air-conditioned spot such as a shopping mall, grocery store, community centre, place of worship or public library.
Remember that children, the elderly, and those with chronic conditions are at higher risk of suffering from heat-related illness. During times of high heat and humidity: - stay hydrated by drinking plenty of cold water or juice; - stay out of the sun; - at home, close awnings, curtains and blinds during the day to keep the sun out; - schedule strenuous outdoor activities for the early morning or evening hours; - spend as much time as possible in air-conditioned places; - never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle or in direct sunlight; and
- call or visit family, friends and neighbours to make sure they are okay. Help others Plan to visit neighbours, friends and family, especially isolated seniors, to make sure they’re cool and hydrated. Those with air conditioning are encouraged to welcome family and neighbours into their home when they need a place to cool off. “It’s important to prepare for extreme temperatures ahead of time. Check Environment Canada’s forcast regularly so you can be prepared.” said Dr. Nicola Mercer, Medical Officer of Health and CEO of Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health.
Partnership aimed at promoting life, preventing suicide By Patrick Raftis GUELPH – Wellington County will partner with the Canadian Mental Health Association of WaterlooWellington (CMHA) to lead the work of promoting life and preventing suicide in the county, under the “Here4Hope” strategy. Council passed a resolution on June 27 to pursue the strategy, developed in partnership with the CMHA and the Wellington County OPP. The resolution goes hand in hand with a recent Community Safety and Policing Grant application submitted by OPP Inspector
Scott Lawson, on behalf of the police services board, to the Ministry of the Solicitor General. Wellington County OPP has applied for a three-year grant of $180,000 per year to implement the Integrated Mobile Police and Crisis Team (IMPACT) – Suicide Prevention/Postvention Support Program. The county’s investment in the partnership with CMHA is $295,000 over three years. “This partnership between the County of Wellington, OPP and [CMHA] is the first of its kind,” said Warden Kelly Linton.
“People are our greatest priority. It has become increasingly clear that mental health is fundamentally interconnected with physical and social well-being and health outcomes. This strategy and Community Safety and Policing Grant will also be closely intertwined with a community wellness program [CMHA] will be leading.” The proposed partnership would enable CMHA to employ Cecilia Marie Roberts, in partnership with the County of Wellington, for three years to continue to lead and support the work of promoting life and prevent-
ing suicide in the county. “I’m really excited about the county moving ahead with all the exciting projects you’ve heard of,” said Linton after the partnership was announced following an incamera session on June 27. CAO Scott Wilson said, “This strategy will not only equip our staff with the tools, support and resources to help themselves and their loved ones, but over 850 county employees will be able to assist others who may be struggling in the community. “Many people in our community have been either directly or indirectly affected by suicide. There is a great
need for support in this area. Over the years, the county has implemented a number of programs dedicated to wellness. Building on that work, the county will continue to set short- and long-term objectives dedicated specifically to mental health.” The development of the “Here4Hope” Wellington Framework for Promoting Life and Preventing Suicide was developed by Roberts, who is the suicide prevention lead at CMHA. It provides a road map for implementing a communitywide approach to suicide prevention and awareness. It includes mental health train-
ing, support and resources for OPP and Wellington County employees, and the community. “The rate of suicide in Wellington County is 2.5 times higher than the provincial average,” commented CMHA executive director Helen Fishburn. “Promoting life and preventing suicide requires a whole community approach and this partnership recognizes that this important work requires expertise, leadership and coordination. “We are proud and privileged to be doing this important work with the [county and the OPP].”
Humane society reminding local residents to avoid leaving pets unattended in vehicles GUELPH - The Guelph Humane Society (GHS) is once again reminding the community of the extreme danger of leaving a pet unattended in a vehicle this summer, and especially as we
head into hotter weather. Cars and other vehicles can reach a very high temperature quickly, leaving pets at severe risk and in some cases can cause a fatality.
GHS encourages pet owners to leave pets at home if there is even a small chance a pet will have to wait in the car. Just a minimal amount of time in a hot environment
can be life-threatening to pets. Most pets have a limited ability to sweat. Dogs cool themselves by panting and releasing heat through their paws, which
becomes impossible to do in a space as limiting as a hot car. “Keeping pets safe in our
community is a top priority for the Guelph Humane SEE KEEP PETS » 8

To the editor Tree planters needed Dear Editor: This past spring has been a challenging one for weather but the Trees for Mapleton committee is continuing to work on the Paul Day Legacy Forest and have so far planted 1,510 trees this year in addition to the 2,025 trees we planted last year. It has been a community effort with help from Drayton School, Public Heights Palmerston Public School, the Norwell CELP students, the Girl Guides from Alma and Drayton, Green Legacy, Township of Mapleton and GRCA. In the Paul Day Legacy Forest, we hope to plant 10,527 trees to represent all the residents of our township, but the benefit of the trees is really for everyone as they enhance our environment and provide a place for

people to enjoy nature. Our committee had so much fun on May 11 with the Girl Guides and CELP students as we worked to plant the trees. For the kids who go to the Green Legacy nursery to do tree work, they really enjoy getting to plant those seedlings in the ground. We are planning a Community Tree Plant on Oct. 19 and are looking for individuals and groups to help us. If we know ahead if people are interested in planting, then we can organize more trees to plant and reach our goals sooner.

When first diagnosed with a chronic condition it can be overwhelming, challenging, and frightening. There will be medical appointments to attend, as well as a change in your daily medications and routines. With some changes to your lifestyle, and a positive attitude, this transition can be made easier. I can relate to this on a personal level because when I was 16 years old, I was diagnosed with Type One diabetes. This diagnosis came with several obstacles, both physical and emotional, but ultimately, it has made me healthier and a more well-rounded person.

through this change in your life. A support system can be comprised of family, friends, coworkers, neighbours, community groups and your health care team. It is normal to feel afraid or upset about this change in your life but it is important to be able to reach out to somebody about it. Communicating your feelings about your diagnosis, how you are coping with these changes, and help you may require, is key to effectively managing your condition.

Some as formal as talking to Registered Health Care Professionals, others involve attending community-based support groups filled with individuals going through similar situations. These people understand what you are going through and can answer any questions you may have.

Minto farm recognized by province MINTO - Ontario is recognizing the work of local innovators whose ideas and passion are helping grow and strengthen the province’s agri-food sector, including a Minto farming operation. On July 5, Perth Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece, on behalf of Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, presented an Excellence in Agriculture, honourable mention award to Bell’s Edge Farm. They have partnered with a local dairy to produce and market gourmet butters, available in 80 Ontario retail stores within just 18 months of being in business. “It’s important to recognize the outstanding innovations of agriculture producers. In Perth-Wellington, Bell’s Edge Farm has created a great product that everyone in Ontario can enjoy. I commend them for their commitment to strengthening Ontario’s world-class agri-

ourselves and all the people who help to make our infused butter and ghee products a reality.” “Ontario’s agri-food sector is a driving force for innovation and economic growth in our province,” said Hardeman. “Innovators like Bell’s Edge Farm are always pushing boundaries and expanding economic opportunities. What I particularly like about their operation is that they are working together with other local farms, which has increased production capacity while reducing waste.” The Excellence in Agriculture Awards honour the contributions of hardworking and innovative people across the province who are creating new agrifood products, adding value to existing products and raising the bar for excellence by demonstrating leadership in their field that will benefit the sector, or advance technological innovation.
GUELPH – A tender for the replacement of a culvert on Wellington/Perth Road 86 was awarded to Reeves Construction Limited of Mount Forest for $678,150. The Reeves tender was the lowest of three submitted, with the highest coming in at just under $1.19 million Work on the culvert, between Perth Road 121 and Mapleton Sideroad 15, includes removal of existing concrete structure, supply and placement of new reinforced pre-cast concrete rigid frame box culvert, concrete block retaining walls, roadway reconstruction and steel beam guide rail installation. County council approved the roads committee recommendation to accept the tender on June 27. Haul route allowed Wellington County has

Harriston Home Hardware Appliance Centre re-opens in new location on Mill Street HARRISTON - A grand re-opening of Harriston Home Hardware Appliance Centre’s new location was held on June 28. Home Hardware dealer/ owners John and Patty Mock started the business selling appliances within their hardware store, before moving it to a separate 1,000 square foot location on Elora Street. The business has since outgrown that location and
was moved to 78 Mill Street, which features 2,300ft2 of retail area space. “We have more than doubled our inventory space to better serve our community with quality products and services,” said John Mock. additional “Offering brands and products, our new location has a refreshed design as well as more choice than ever before for our customers.” Mock said the store,

which has added a line of chiropractic mattresses, serves a need both locally and in the surrounding areas. “We always knew the appliances were needed here and ... that a free-standing store would do better …” he said. “So once we opened up the destination store things have taken off, sales have just grown and now that we’ve added the mattresses; it’s been crazy.”
authorized Wilson Quarry to use Wellington Road 16 (north) as a haul route during the half-load season. The move is subject to an agreement on expenses and costs for road improvement being recovered from quarry owner Rodney Wilson. County council approved the roads committee recommendation on June 27 to allow the usage. In May, council directed the county engineer to assess the the pavement condition on Wellington Road 16 - from the proposed Alfred Wilson quarry site, north to Highway 89 - and report on the feasibility of allowing a site specific exemption to the half-load restrictions. The decision followed a delegation from quarry operators at the May 14 road committee meeting.

Personality vs policy An election is coming. Get ready for the ads. Get ready for the debates. But you know what I am interested in? I will be curious as to how the parties present their leaders. I remember a few elections ago there was a leader that some perceived as less than friendly. So after a few meetings with consultants and some strategy sessions, it was determined that this candidate needed to stop wearing ties and spend more time flipping burgers at barbecues and community events. The statement that was clear to me was that it wasn’t about policy, but how people perceived their leader. Elections the past few years in both Canada and
the US have become more about personality than about policy. It doesn’t get too hard for me to think back through the past couple of elections on both sides of the border to see what history has shown. South of the border, whatever you may think of Trump, there is no question that he was first a TV personality. What I found interesting was that after he was elected, there was a lot of discussion that Oprah Winfrey needed to run to compete against him. In Canada, after Trudeau took the leadership of the liberal party, it became of great interest to see Kevin O’Leary step up into the leadership race of the Conservative Party. In case you weren’t aware, Kevin O’Leary has often been compared to Donald Trump – both wealthy and both suc-
cessful TV personalities. In other words, what appears to be happening is that we are making a shift in how we pick our leaders. We are shifting from what was once a matter of policy to personality and physical appearance. This concerns me. Policy should be a critical element of our decision making. Don’t get me wrong, who the person is matters. But how can we measure a person’s character? Is the candidate with a history of drunkenness better then the candidate who has been unfaithful to his spouse? Is the candidate who has had a long history of suspicious financial dealings better then the person who has been married multiple times? How are we to judge? Of course, character matters. In fact, where it
is possible, what we need to do is find out what really motivates a person, what kind of a heart does the person have. It is like the story of Samuel choosing the next king. Appearances can be very deceiving so God told Samuel to look at the heart. A person’s policies will reflect his heart. While appearances can be deceiving, what a person claims to believe in terms of their spiritual or religious life can also be deceiving. I have heard some people of faith suggest that they will only vote for a person if the candidate shares the same faith as them. In fact party affiliation doesn’t even matter to them as much as shared faith. It reminds me of the quote that is often attributed to the great reformer Martin Luther... “I’d rather be ruled
by a wise Turk than by a foolish Christian.” Some now seriously question if Luther even said this. But regardless, the point is well made. While we might desire to have someone in office who shares the same faith as us, the competency of the individual and the nature of the policies being advocated are far more important. If as a Christian, I only look for a candidate who is a Christian, that could be very detrimental. What if that Christian candidate doesn’t share the same views on immigration or on deficit spending? What if they don’t agree with me on justice issues or on how to handle natural resources? This candidate may say they are Christian, but clearly would be supporting and implementing policies that would frustrate me a great
deal. The implication of all of this is that who we vote for needs to go far beyond what a person looks like and what a person says. Please don’t reduce your decision to the cult of personality. We need to do the hard work of trying to really understand who the candidate is and what kinds of policies and ideas they represent. Only then can we truly make a well-informed decision when we get to the ballot box. Then when the election is all over, we need to be clear in at least one thing - we need to pray for and respect whoever takes office. (Romans 13:1-8) So, we have plenty to think about this summer. I pray that you are able to find the time to look into all the candidates and so make the best choice for you.
Inter-library loan service not restored By Patrick Raftis GUELPH – Despite reports to the contrary, Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS) inter-library loan delivery services will not be resurrected, says Wellington County chief librarian Murray McCabe. Following the announcement of a significant budget cut to the SOLS in April, the agency officially informed libraries at the end of May their inter-library loan delivery services will not be resurrected, explained McCabe in a June 12 report to the county library committee. “A few days later SOLS and Ontario Library Service – North issued a joint statement saying that ‘… a solution had been found to restore inter-library loan services across the province beginning on June 1, 2019,’”
the report continues. “Unfortunately nothing could be further from the truth,” states McCabe. “The claim that [inter-library] service has been restored has left chief librarians across the province dumbfounded. “The group has watched in disbelief as correspondence from government MPPs to concerned constituents repeats this fallacy. Recent stories from across the province now relate that patrons are visiting libraries thinking that their earlier protests were successful and are upset to find that libraries have been unable to resume [inter-library] services as normal.” The joint statement, signed by the CEOs of OLS - North and SOLS, states both library services will provide partial reimbursement for delivery costs

through Canada Post. This will preserve the online system libraries use to coordinate the program ensuring this key service continues to reach Ontario communities, the statement continues. McCabe stated the government, “having weathered considerable public opposition to the cuts,” is now asking libraries to use Canada Post as the alternative method of delivery. It has provided SOLS with $340,000 as an annual rebate for postal fees incurred by participating libraries when shipping material. The details of this plan still need to be shared with libraries.” McCabe said it is unclear if the rebate is to be shared between 156 library systems in the southern part of the province or includes library systems in the north as well. “The loss of the former [inter-library] delivery service will significantly hurt residents of rural Ontario and will put them at a distinct disadvantage compared to Ontarians that have access to large urban libraries,” the report continues. The report indicates the Wellington County Library system will need to learn the details of the postage reimbursement plan to formulate a strategy for providing inter-library services.

blood sugars, and/or reading nutritional labels (to name a few). Eventually your selfmanagement strategies will become habit. Personally, I test my blood sugars before eating, adjust my insulin accordingly, and monitor my dietary intake and portion sizes without even thinking about it. With some dedication and determination, your self-management strategies can become second nature as well. Healthy Lifestyle: Eating a balanced diet and engaging in regular activity is important for everyone’s health, but did you know it can also improve and prevent some chronic conditions? In order to ensure I live an active lifestyle I take part in exercise programs that I actually enjoy. By doing this my activity is less of a “chore” and becomes fun.
I also follow the recommendations outlined by my Registered Dietitian, and use this information to discover new recipes that are not only healthy but delicious as well. Living with a chronic condition takes a lot of time, energy, and dedication. It is easy to become discouraged, however by keeping things manageable, becoming educated about your condition, integrating self management strategies into your daily routine, and having a support system in place, success can be achieved. It is important to celebrate your successes, no matter how small, and to know the effort you are putting forward is having a positive impact on your life. For me this means celebrating the day that I was diagnosed with diabetes. I celebrate the fact that I have continued to take care of myself for another year. I
celebrate all the hard times I have been through and the challenges I have overcome. I celebrate my strength, my perseverance, and my positive outlook on my life. Be proud of your hard work and dedication to yourself. You are worth it.

Murals decorate downtown Harriston
New murals - There are a couple of new public works of art visible on the streets of Harriston these days. ABOVE: The Harrison Canada Packers Reunion Committee recently arranged for a mural featuring the building, logos and past employees of the former local ice cream producer to be installed at the downtown Tannery Park.

Keep pets cool this summer, local humane society urges » FROM PAGE 3
Society,” says Lisa Veit, Associate Director. “With all the information available to the public about the risks to pets in hot vehicles, there really is no excuse for a pet to be left unattended in a life-threatening situation.” Anyone who is found to have left a pet unattended in a hot vehicle will be charged under the City of Guelph Animal Control By-law Number (2016)-20122 or the Ontario SPCA Act for caus-
ing a situation where an animal is likely to be in distress. The Guelph Humane Society will have a zero tolerance for hot pets this summer. If an animal appears to have been left in a vehicle, it should be reported to the GHS immediately by calling 519-824-3091, and also reported to local police. Here are the life-threatening signs a pet may be suffering with severe heat stroke in a vehicle: - Excessive panting and
drooling; - Anxious or staring expression; - Weakness and muscle tremors; - Lack of coordination or consciousness; - Lethargy, convulsions, vomiting and collapsing. These symptoms can turn fatal in a matter of seconds, so do not wait to make the call to GHS. The Guelph Humane Society is campaigning again this hot summer for #WarmHeartsCoolPets.
