Municipal Board appeal has been filed on a decision by Ma-pleton’s Committee of Adjust-ment to allow a minor variance reducing the Minimum Dis-tance Separation requirements between an existing barn and a planned new residence near Moorefield.

Alywn and Lori Woodham, owners of a farm property on Wellington Road 10, which in-cludes a currently unoccupied hog barn, filed the appeal on April 29. The minor variance, which reduced MDS distance required from 180 metres to 159 metres between the barn and the new residence on a lot owned by Chris and Brittany Huber, was granted by the Ma-

pleton Committee of Adjust-ment on Jan. 9.

While no appeals were filed following the original deci-sion, the Woodhams have now filed an objection to an April 10 resolution of the committee, which endorses the commit-tee’s decision to allow the MDS measurement to be taken from the centre of the Woodham barn, rather than the nearest corner to the residence.

Mapleton CAO Patty Sin-namon said the April 9 resolu-tion resulted from a request for clarification from the town-ship’s building department. She said the township is still in the process of gathering the records regarding the decision to forward to the OMB, along with the Woodham’s appeal.

She said it is not known when a hearing would be held.

Asked if building on the lot would be halted pending the appeal, Sinnamon said “that’s a question for our solicitor.”

MDS 1 waiver in bylawThe Hubers’ lot is one of

several created in the 1970s within MDS distance of the Woodhams’ barn. MDS restric-tions prevented development on the lots until recent changes were made to Mapleton’s com-prehensive zoning bylaw.

The new bylaw waives MDS 1 requirements for exist-ing lots that are less than 9.9 acres. The bylaw was originally passed in July of 2010, but did not come into effect until June of 2012 due to an OMB appeal on an unrelated matter.

Mike Downey feels the town-ship’s committee of adjustment isn’t giving enough weight to objections from council on applications with which the committee deals.

Downey expressed concern after council received notifica-tion a committee of adjustment decision at it’s April 23 meet-ing. The committee approved a minor variance allowing an oversize home industry on

Wellington Road 86. Mapleton’s zoning bylaw

permits a maximum size of 2,500 square feet for a home industry, but the commit-tee approved a variance for a 3,220 square foot shop, and an additional 396 square feet for a room to park wagons to collect sawdust on the R.R. 1, Wallenstein property.

In March, council advised the committee it objected to the variance, stating council-lors felt the zoning bylaw lim-

its should be adhered to.In January, the committee

approved minor variance appli-cations from owners of several lots along Wellington Road 10, despite council’s objections that the properties did not meet Minimum Distance Separation requirements and the requested variances were “not minor in nature.”

“I don’t want to spend a lot of time on these … our com-ments are being ignored,” said Downey.

Councillor feels committee ignores concerns

Playground work crew - Members of the Drayton Kinsmen Club were busy on May 2 setting up the perimeter for a new playground in Drayton Kinsmen Park. The club is working in partnership with the Moorefield Optimist Club and the Township of Mapleton to create new playgrounds in parks in Drayton and Moorefield. The township is providing $30,000 through the municipality’s 50/50 fund, while the club’s will provide the other half of the funding, $20,000 from the Kinsmen and $10,000 from the Optimists. The parks are expected to be ready for the Victoria Day weekend.

Committee of adjustment decisionon MDS measurement headed to OMB

by Patrick RaftisMapleton - Council here

has formally adopted a corpo-rate strategic plan that has been in development for over a year.

The process of creating the plan began in January 2012 and Mapleton residents provided input through participation in a “conversation café” at the PMD Arena, as well as an on-line survey.

Approval of the plan in draft form at the Feb. 5 council meeting set in motion a public consultation period that ended March 23.

The plan, adopted at the April 9 council meeting, will be used as a tool to guide the municipality in providing municipal services, annual budgets and long-term plan-ning.

“The Township’s strate-gic plan should be a living document, continually being referred to by both council and staff that will guide our day-to-day activities, budget process and long term planning, but more importantly will create an opportunity for ongoing dia-logue between council, staff and the community,” stated CAO Patty Sinnamon in a report to council at the April 9 meeting.

Sinnamon said staff recom-mends council and staff meet semi-annually to review the plan and determine whether objectives are being reached. She also suggested council consider hosting an annual town hall meeting “as one way to ensure public feedback

on whether the actions being implemented truly meet the public’s expectations.”

Top priorities outlined in the plan as result of public con-sultation included:

- a more friendly community with everyone working togeth-er (young and old). “Residents would like to see opportunities where multi-generations work together on township initiatives such as recreation planning and community projects,” the plan states;

- engage the community to take ownership of the com-munity. “Residents indicated that they often do not know what is (going on) with vari-ous projects and often don’t know until the shovel is in the ground - they would like to more informed and be more engaged in decision making. Residents also indicated better relationships need to be built between the public, council and staff;”

- co-operative approach in business development. “Participants at the community engagement meeting identified the need for the municipality to be more proactive in support-ing local business. Business owners expressed frustration with the processing of devel-opment applications;”

- maintain and enhance ser-vices, facilities and infrastruc-ture. “Residents feel the current level of service they receive is good, but are concerned about costs in replacing infrastruc-ture in the future. Concern was expressed about our aging

halls. They need to be updated if we want to rent them out. Washrooms at our halls were identified as particularly need-ing upgrading. Participants identified the need to balance growth with the rural commu-nity that they currently enjoy;”

- develop a township where people of all ages have a place to live, work and play. “The township has a good mix of housing and welcome the addition of the new apart-ment building for seniors. More needs to be done to keep younger generation in the com-munity and not move to larger centres;” and

- promote and develop an active community (bik-ing, trails, golf). “Residents in the urban areas make good use of the township’s vari-ous walking trails. We need to promote them to the rural residents … Mapleton is a relatively ‘young’ municipality according to the 2011 census data. Residents wish to remain active in numerous types of recreation activities. The town-ship has recently adopted a Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Consideration of that plan should also be given when adopting long range plans.”

Prior to passage of the plan, councillor Andy Knetsch questioned the inclusion of the phrase “a more friendly com-munity,” in the priority list. Knetsch said the statement leaves the impression the town-ship is not a friendly place.

Barn destroyed by fire - A bank barn on the property of Neil and Barb Driscoll was destroyed by fire on Sunday. Firefighters from the Drayton and Moorefield stations responded to the blaze, after a neigh-bour called to report seeing flames around noon on May 5. Mapleton Fire Chief Rick Richardson said the barn, which contained farm equipment, including antique tractors, was completely destroyed. The cause of the blaze is undetermined. Richardson said firefighters were on the scene for about five hours and prevented the fire from spreading to surrounding buildings. submitted photo

are said to be symbols of good luck and local musician Lucas Rogerson is hoping the launch of his EP release, Streetlights at the renowned Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto will be the start of good things for his solo career.

“I am excited,” said Rogerson, of the May 22 per-formance. “It’s just such a leg-endary venue.”

He has good reason to be enthusiastic. The Horseshoe Tavern has played a crucial role in the Canadian music scene, giving the stage to acts such as Blue Rodeo, Stompin’ Tom Connors and the Sheepdogs as headliners.

“To come out of the gate with a new band and new music that is just true to who I am at this point as an artist, it’s a big first step,” Rogerson said.

Rogerson’s debut solo proj-ect comes on the heels of a successful few years with local

country-rock group Settlers Creek Band.

Though still a part of that band, his desire to work on solo projects has given him the cre-ative opportunity to chart his own musical course and focus on creating a unique sound. Streetlights, a four-song EP, is the result.

“It’s a new departure for me in terms of a new sound. It’s really my first statement as an artist,” he said of working independently. “It’s the most

honest ... it’s about things that are really important to me.”

Streetlights weaves togeth-er a love story with a sense of the small-town roots that influence the artist. Songs like Elm St. Park Swings and Main Street Bridge evoke the senti-ment of young love in images that feel local. Even the album cover features street signs from Drayton cross streets.

“It reflects the faces and places around me,” said Rogerson, who lives in Drayton and was raised in Centre Wellington.

Rogerson said his musical influences are varied but each one has impacted his sound, from big band and jazz to rock’n roll, country ballads and a dash of punk angst.

“The music is the most vul-nerable I’ve ever felt as a musi-cian, both in lyrics and music,” said Rogerson, explaining that during the recording process he let go of preconceived goals for the songs and let his instincts take over.

“I think the spontane-ous feel comes through in the music.”

While the EP is not set for release until May 21, early reviews from fans of Rogerson’s music have been positive.

“I think people respond to that vulnerability, which is key to being an artist,” Rogerson said.

Recorded at Escarpment Sound Studios in Erin last year, before the studio moved to Belwood, Rogerson worked with renowned recording engi-neer Brian Hewson. Rogerson took on the role of producer.

While he played lead guitar, some percussion and recorded all the vocals for the tracks, Rogerson enlisted the help of other musicians to fill out the sound with their own style.

Don Featherstone of Kitchener played saxophone, Mark Whitelaw of Guelph was on bass, and Brett Schneider of Fergus on drums.

For the May 22 gig, Rogerson will be joined by Featherstone and Settlers Creek bandmate Greg Eisen.

To ensure local audiences can take part, Rogerson is tak-ing a bus of fans along to the show, picking up music lovers in Erin, Guelph and Fergus.

“I just want to get people down there,” Rogerson said. “If I can get a bunch of fans out to support me from here, that would be really special.”

The Horseshoe Tavern show begins at 9pm with a half-hour set. For information on the bus trip contact [email protected].

PALMERSTON - Theatre Norwell will be performing Broadway’s hit musical Legally Blonde for audiences of all ages from May 9 to 11.

This “quirky and hilarious” play follows the journey of a young sorority girl named Elle Woods, who pursues an educa-tion at Harvard Law School in order to win back her elite ex-boyfriend.

Elle faces many challenges at this Ivy League school, and

realizes that the Harvard life is far different than what she is used to in Malibu.

The show will be held at Norwell District Secondary School, at 135 Cumberland Street in Palmerston, on May 9 at 7:30pm, May 10 at 7:30pm, and May 11 at 2 and 7:30pm.

Tickets can be purchased at the door for $10 (senior/stu-dent) and $12 (adult), or in ad-vance by contacting the school at 519-343-3107.

STRATFORD - The Perth Wellington Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP) rid-ing association has announced it will hold a nomination meet-ing to select a candidate for the next provincial election.

The meeting will be held on May 26 at the Kiwanis Centre, 111 Lakeside Drive in Stratford, at 7pm. This will be the first time in a number of elections that the party will have a contested nomination.

Romayne Smith Fullerton, an associate professor of Journalism at Western University and Ellen Papenburg, a former candidate, computer consultant and small business owner, have both declared their intention to seek the nomination.

All members of the NDP in good standing, living within

the riding and new members who have joined the party within 30 days prior to the nomination meeting are eligi-ble to vote. Those who let their 2012 membership lapse will also be eligible to vote if they renew their membership at the nomination meeting.

Registration to vote will begin at 7pm. The meeting is scheduled to commence at 7:30pm. The agenda will include the official nomina-tion of the candidates, remarks

by the candidates and voting, which will be conducted by secret ballot.

“At present Andrea Horwath is seeking advice from both party members and non-members across Ontario as to whether the NDP should or should not support the con-tinuation of the current govern-ment,” Rick Huband, spokes-person for the riding asso-ciation, said in May 6 press release. “We are planning and preparing for either result.”

ALMA - Vanessa Ferris has had long hair for as long as her Girl Guide leader can remember.

When Ferris started talk-ing about cutting her hair, her leader and one-time day care provider Marlene Skerritt sug-gested she donate it to make wigs for kids who lose their hair due to illness or treat-ments.

After doing some research they decided on Angel Hair for Kids, an organization in Mississauga. The wigs they create use up to 10 to 12 donated ponytails to make one hair prosthesis and the cost

is between $800 and $1,000 for manufacturing and other related costs.

With all of her fellow Girl Guides and family look-ing on, hairdresser Colleen Bosomworth from Hair Daze in Drayton separated Vanessa’s hair into two long pony tails and snipped them off. She received a real cut after the ini-tial snips and said with a smile on her face that it felt like she had no hair left.

Vanessa’s grandmother passed away from cancer and she had a wig when she lost her hair to her treatments, so this is something that hits close

to home for her and her fam-ily. The Alma Girl Guides also have a special place in their hearts for this kind of organi-zation. A young girl in Alma who was a Guide passed away of cancer on July 3, 2000 and Skerritt showed the girls a pic-ture of the young lady who the Alma school remembers with a memorial tree planted in her honour.

Alma Girl Guides have been busy with activities includ-ing a sleepover at the Ontario Science Centre and will wrap up the year with a weekend at Girl Guides of Canada Camp Conestogo.

Alma Girl Guide gets hair cutto donate to Angel Hair for Kids

Angel Hair - Alma Girl Guide Vanessa Ferris recently cut her long hair to donate to the Angel Hair for Kids program. Vanessa received plenty of support from fellow Guides.

teers that we have and the tre-mendous amount of things that are going on, where people volunteer and work together,” he noted.

“You think we’re friendly enough, you just want to main-tain that,” commented Mayor Bruce Whale.

Sinnamon noted the state-ment came out of the public engagement sessions.

“I think this is a good state-ment for a strategic plan. We want to become even more friendly,” said councillor Jim Curry.

A complete copy of the plan, can be viewed on the township’s website at www.mapleton.ca.

A drop in the bucket

PAGE FOUR The Community News, Friday, May 10, 2013

If the provincial budget presented last week receives legisla-tive approval - far from guaranteed in the currently minority envi-ronment - it will include a $100 million for roads and bridges in small, rural and northern municipalities.

Every public works director in the province knows how far $100 million will go once spread among eligible municipalities.

For some, the new allocation is unlikely to compensate for ad-ditional cash they will be forced to spend due to the province’s earlier decision to end the Connecting Link program. That pro-gram covered 75 per cent of costs incurred by municipalities to maintain sections of provincial highways running through their communities. It’s a safe bet that much of the $100 million the province is offering will be offset by their Connecting Link sav-ings, which will come from the pockets of municipal taxpayers.

It’s never wise to look a gift horse in the mouth, but it’s not hard to see why this proposal was greeted with tempered enthusiasm.

We had been taking crops to Boyds at Kurtville or the Palmerston Elevators. A lot more time on the road, burning more fuel and holding up more traffic, because we won’t take the shoulder with thousands of pounds behind us.

We are not large framers by today’s standards, but our crop is our livelihood.

I know at least two trucks have slid off the side of the road on this sideroad. Driv-ing a tractor down you hope you don’t meet another trac-tor (thank goodness its a short distance and you can see each other coming).

A lot of money travels up and down this road. Approxi-mately 30,000 tonnes or 60 to 70 million pounds - goes through the elevator every year, with an estimated value of $15 million - not small po-tatoes. What goes in, all comes back out the road again to be manufactured into a finished product. If I remember cor-rectly they are just widening the road and building it up, not paving.

We all know the reason tax-es are up has a lot to do with the value of our properties. We don’t like it, but that’s the way it is.

When you finish your corn flakes and the toaster pops, and dish up the bacon and eggs, re-member who put it there.

Lynn Elliott,Moorefield

Councillors pay taxes tooDear Editor:

I would like to remind Mr. Ron Klein (Road to nowhere, May 3) that each of the Maple-ton council members are tax-payers as well.

Business property taxes are at a higher mil rate than resi-dential taxes. It is businesses like that of Driscoll Farms that help to keep our residential taxes down.

Improving roads is a major portion of our taxes and when a business steps up (financially) to help make our roads safer, they should be applauded not singled out.

This Sideroad is a link be-tween Wellington Road 8 and Concession 8 - and not just to Driscoll Farms.

Everyone has the right to request and receive the infor-mation as to taxes and the in-vestment into improving our township.

Jim Curry,Councillor,

Township of Mapleton

MOOREFIELD - The April meeting of the Maryborough Horticultural Society featured Jill Welsh of Harriston as guest speaker. She provides a prun-ing and landscape service.

Welsh began by describing the most important part of her job - her tools. She always wears gloves and safety glass-es and wears knee pads when working on her knees. She demonstrated how and when she uses her pruners, snippers, long-handled loppers, curved saw and shears.

Welsh explained where to cut a branch when pruning. She noted it is important to keep the smaller branches at the bottom of a tree at first to help the tree grow faster and stronger. As the tree grows trim to have the branches well spaced. Welsh reminded every-one to never cut more than 30 per cent out of a tree or shrub at one time. A good time to prune trees is before the leaves come out so you can see what you are doing.

After many questions,

president, Jo Houston thanked Welsh for her presentation.

A lunch prepared by Rosemary Nibourg and Linda Timmerman was served. The business meeting followed. Minutes were read and treasur-er Clara Bauman reported on the group’s financial standing. Details were discussed involv-ing the preparation and water-ing of some of the flower beds which members look after. The society’s annual plant and bake sale will take place on the morning of May 11 in front

of Gourlay’s store. Baking, a variety of plants and perennials will be available at this sale.

The next meeting will be held on May 28 at the Moorefield Optimist Hall. The speaker will be Willa Wick and the annual Spring Flower Show will take place.

Things learned from our elders

We often don’t realize how much we are teaching our chil-dren and grandchildren as we go about our daily tasks.

A casual chat about food preparation with my grand-daughter made me think about this very thing. She comment-ed, “Oh Grandma, you were the one that taught me how to peel potatoes thinly and then cut the eyes out.” I did?

Ah yes, when they were much younger, she and her brother always came over to my house early to help prepare

for our family Christmas or other holiday dinners. No fam-ily dinner was complete with-out plenty of creamy mashed potatoes and gravy. Of course one of the last tasks was to peel that huge pot of potatoes. Sometimes those little hands pared thick peelings, render-ing large potatoes to a much smaller size. Thus the careful-ly-worded lessons so my little helpers were not discouraged or offended.

This recalled to me the pota-to-peeling contests my pater-nal grand mother used to have with my sister and me. The

operations were set up on the opened oven door of the kitch-en’s wood-burning cook stove. It was just the right height for two little girls to stand beside our seated Grandmother and sturdy enough to hold the pan of potatoes. Grandma would give each of us a knife and a small potato while she took a large potato at least twice as big, to peel. The race was on. Could we peel the small potato faster Grandma could that big one? It took quite a few of those contests for my sister and me to become good peelers.

The same Grandmother had

been a dressmaker before her marriage. She had a treadle Singer sewing machine that had some intriguing gadgets that could be attached to make fine pin tucked pleats and ruf-fles. She gave the Singer to my mother who used it through-out the years to make most of the clothing we had as young children. Everything from pajamas, shirts and dresses to gaily-patterned quilt tops got sewn on that machine.

Mother taught all three of us girls how to sew on the Singer. It took a lot of prac-tice to coordinate pushing the

treadle with you feet and steer-ing the fabric under the needle with your hands. That machine could be counted on to stitch a fine, even seam on any type of fabric. In fact none of the new, improved electric sewing machines I have had over the last 50 years have done a bet-ter job. By the time we were teenagers all three of us could make our own dresses.

Those were the days when every home had both an Eaton’s and Simpson’s cata-logue, which offered fabric by

the yard. The bolts of cloth were pictured in colour so one could choose the right hue. A mail order brought the fabric to us in a few days and within a week we would be wearing that new dress to church.

Now my grandchildren are asking to learn some of those same sewing skills I learned so long ago. Whether the males of that generation can be con-vinced that sewing skills are unisex, as often the best tailors were men, remains to be seen.

Horticultural society gets advice on pruning at meeting

Spring Wellington Rural Romp May 25

How many reassurances do we need before this “mountain of top soil” will be removed? It has been there since 2007. That’s six years. Now five years more? Do the math, that’s 11 years.

The households that are ex-periencing this “mountain of topsoil” have several concerns, including vermin, allergens and children’s safety, which is the biggest concern.

Yet another concern is my potential property value. Be-fore council grants a five-year extension it must approach the eight households affected by their actions and decisions.

Maybe property taxes should be adjusted accordingly to the affected properties or get rid of very visible and much resented “mountain of topsoil.”

Once again I am very disap-pointed in Mapleton council.

Joyce Kuper,Drayton

DRAYTON - After a few years’ absence, beach volley-ball is back in Drayton.

Thanks to the Township of Mapleton, the committee and the Rotary Club of Drayton, a beach volleyball court has been installed at the ABC Park.

Though leagues are fore-casted to start later in the sum-

mer, to get things started there will be pick-up volleyball for all ages on Thursday nights starting May 23.

From 7 to 8pm recreational players of all ages are invited to partake. This hour will be for those who wish to play and be physically active, but may not know the difference between

a “dig” and a “quick.” From 8 to 9pm those looking for more competition are invited to play.

Anyone not able to play Thursday nights or wishing to play more is welcome to bring their own ball and use the court any time. Courts are not light-ed.

“The committee would like

to thank all the local businesses that have supported this project by donating goods or services. Your support is greatly appreci-ated,” organizers state.

Questions regarding pick-up volleyball or the future of volleyball leagues can be sent to Gina Dobben at [email protected] .

We are proud to extend our Food Services to

to serving you at the Park

PALMERSTON - Members of the Palmerston Branch of Retired Teachers of Ontario attending a luncheon on April 26 were told “You need to play more! Go home and play!”

Lynn Hodgins introduced guest speaker Adrienne Gilbert, a retired professor of kinesi-ology from the University of Waterloo who shared her pas-sion for studying the brain.

Gilbert referred to tech-niques such as “Brain Gym” and BAL-A-VIS-X (balance, auditory and vision exercises) which have been used in many schools. She talked about the work of Paul Hyman, president of Brain Fitness International and about a book she read called My Stroke of Insight by Jill Botte Taylor.

Gilbert explained that phys-ical exercise is critical to mental and physical health and every-one needs to find ways to use both hemispheres of the brain. Research shows those who are active have better brain activ-ity. She cited the importance of doing things like crosswords, playing board games, read-ing or learning a new dance as examples of activities that involve genuine concentra-tion, which in turn can help to lower the risk of dementia. She gave the ladies an opportunity to try first hand some of the BAL-A-VIS-X exercises using small balls while following her instructions. The result was laughter and the chasing of lost balls. Mildred Francis thanked Gilbert for her talk.

President Kathy Brown welcomed Area 2 director Mary Duffin who, with the assistance of Lynn Morrison, installed the following new executive members for 2013-2015: past president Kathy Brown, president Oriole Blyth,

first vice-president Anne Darroch, second vice-president Colleen Robertson, treasurer, Joanne Matthews, secretary Joan Woods.

Blyth presented Brown with her president’s pin. Brown thanked everyone for their sup-port over the past two years. She also thanked members for their donations to Ramoth House and it was announced that the branch has purchased a total of 39 bed kits in support of Sleeping Children around the World.

Sandra Cole greeted mem-bers as they arrived. The draw prize donated by Helen Grainger was won by Joanne Walter.

Several travel opportuni-ties will keep the group busy this summer and fall as Lynn Morrison has arranged for a trip to Deerhurst Lodge on June 11 to see the Decades Show which features music from the 1950s to the 21st century. As well, seats are still available for a trip to the Agawa Canyon and Mackinac Island from Sept. 23-27. On Oct. 18 the group will be able to travel to Stratford to see Fiddler On the Roof.

The financial statement and the proposed budget for 2013-2014 were presented by Matthews and approved by the members present. Reports were given by Lorraine Ballard for Goodwill and Francis for insurance.

Darroch reminded the walk-ing group of the next outing on May 14 in Drayton.

Blyth encouraged everyone to bring some of their “teaching career memories and stories” to the next meeting on May 24 which will be “Historical Day.”

Retired teachers hear speaker on brain fitness

Public urged to updateImmunization recordsGUELPH - The local

public health unit is remind-ing people to make sure their immunization records are up to date. Immunizations are a safe and effective way to pro-tect yourself, your family, and the community from the spread of infectious diseases, states Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health (WDGPH).

“Safe and effective immu-nizations have saved thousands of lives and ended suffering by eradicating diseases like smallpox, eliminating polio in the Americas, and ensuring diseases like tetanus, diphthe-ria, measles, mumps, rubella and meningococcal disease are rare,” the health unit notes.

WDGPH has launched a campaign to inform the public about a vaccine, Prevnar 13. The vaccine is now available for adults over 50 years of age (especially those over 65) who are at an increased risk of

pneumococcal disease which can cause many kinds of infec-tions including a serious form of pneumonia.

“People with underlying medical conditions and those residing in a nursing home or long-term care facility are at an increased risk of infec-tion,” said Dr. Nicola Mercer, Medical Officer of Health and CEO.

“If you are at an increased risk of pneumococcal disease and its complications, this vac-cine can protect you against 13 strains of the bacteria.”

Prevnar 13 is given as a single dose and is available at all public health locations for $130. To book an appointment, call 519-846-2715 ext. 4715. The vaccine is not publicly funded but is covered by some private insurance plans. It is already available free of charge for children from six weeks through five years of age.

SHOPPE

The year 2010 marked several changes in the business landscape of Mapleton Township - and Dippel’s Family Garage was no exception.

The garage, located at 24 Wellington Street in Drayton, was taken over that year by new owners Dave and Eliza Dippel, who purchased the former Lambert’s Garage. Having vaca-

tioned at Conestogo Lake since he was a child, Dave was familiar with the area and finally fulfilled a lifelong dream of owning his own business and living in a small town.

Originally from Waterloo, Dave graduated top of his class in 2005. From there, he went on to

work at a dealership in the city, gaining the valu-able business and practical experience neces-sary to springboard him into his own shop. He immediately recognized the importance of offer-ing complete care to the community, including everything from mechanical repairs and mainte-nance such as tune ups, brakes, tires and balanc-ing, to oil spraying, exhaust systems and custom pipe bending. The garage also specializes in fuel injection and air conditioning maintenance. Recently Dippel’s added an in-shop inventory to better service their customers’ needs. They now offer oil and oil filters, windshield wiper blades, lawn tractor tubes, car air fresheners and other car care related items available to purchase at competitive pricing.

It’s a steady investment of time and commit-ment that has made Dippel’s Family Garage a successful business in Mapleton.

“It’s important to us to be able to offer residents of Mapleton Township superior service and quality repairs at fair pricing, without having to leave town,” said Dave. “Just because we are rural doesn’t mean we can’t offer comparable - if not even better - service and pricing than the city.” Dippel’s Family Garage charges just $29.95 (plus taxes) for an oil change.

In the first year, Dave initially worked alone, but with growth and success, Eliza soon joined, taking over the administrative aspects of the business, freeing time for both of them to enjoy more time with their children, Isaac and Luke.

In addition to Dave and Eliza, Dippel’s Family Garage also employs mechanic Douglas Lawrence and apprentice Trevor Vandenberg. Expansion and changes are on the horizon as well. Upgrades to the showroom and building exterior have made Dippel’s Family Garage more aesthetically pleasing in the downtown core.

The Dippels love the warm and welcom-ing atmosphere of Mapleton and were not hesitant about joining on as members of the Drayton Legion. Eliza also serves as secretary for the Drayton Mapleton Agricultural Society. Community and teamwork are foundational principals for the Dippels, so it is easy to see why they’ve fit so well into the community. It will be exciting to see what lies in store for them as a family and as a business.

Business hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5:30pm; and Saturdays 8am to noon. Call 519-638-2950 or visit 24 Wellington St. in Drayton.
