Norwell Dairy opens new facilityby Patrick Raftis

DRAYTON – When Norwell Dairy moved opera-tions into a new 14,000 square foot building in 1990, presi-dent and partner in the business Hilco Stevens said he “thought we would retire there.”

However the company’s continued growth and suc-cess led to further expansion and the opening of a new 30,000 square foot facility in Mapleton’s industrial park in Drayton on Saturday.

Although the company moved into the facility in January, the grand opening was held Oct. 27, with numerous dignitaries and a large crowd of customers and area residents on hand for the celebration.

Stevens said the company, which employs over 100 peo-ple, including about 65 at the Drayton location, is confident they are in the right spot.

“We do believe with this move that, as Norwell Dairy, we are in the right location to serve the local dairy farmers.”

Partner Jack Bosman said, “We wanted to show the agri-cultural industry and the com-munity that we were commit-ted to the agricultural commu-nity and to this community.”

Local politicians who attended the event praised the company, which also has loca-tions in Woodstock, Oakwood and Brinston, for their commit-ment to the local area.

Perth-Wellington MPP

Randy Pettapiece congratu-lated “the owners of Norwell Dairy for staying in the com-munity and ensuring that they are going to be here for many years to come.”

Wellington County Warden Chris White added, “the county recognizes how important this level of investment is to our county and the community.”

Mapleton Mayor Bruce Whale pointed out that Norwell Dairy is “one of the biggest providers of service to the dairy industry across the province.

“I think that’s quite an accomplishment,” said Whale, who commended the compa-ny for “staying in agriculture and keeping your business in Mapleton Township.”

by Patrick RaftisMAPLETON – Mapleton

council is hoping to have a solution soon for several local landowners whose plans for their property are on hold due to confusion over Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) provisions in the township’s new comprehensive zoning bylaw.

In July of 2010 Mapleton council passed a new com-prehensive zoning bylaw that waives MDS1 requirements for existing lots that are less than 9.9 acres. However, the bylaw did not come into effect until June 2012 due to an OMB appeal of the bylaw on an unre-lated matter.

Alwyn and Lori Woodham attended the Sept. 25 council meeting to express concerns over the exemption, due to the potential impact on their farm-ing operation on County Road 10 near Moorefield. Several small lots, created in the 1970s, exist near the couple’s farm.

Because the lots are within MDS1 radius, building could not be permitted without a specific waiver. However, the Woodhams were concerned the change to the comprehensive zoning bylaw would allow the lots to be built on, effectively restricting future expansion on their farm, as the farm would then be bound by MDS2 regu-lations.

All of the current members of Mapleton council who were in office at the time of the bylaw change have stated they were not aware of the MDS waiver provision when passing the bylaw.

Tracy Cronin, of Woods, Clemens and Fletcher, an Elmira law firm, appeared before council on Oct. 23 to outline the position of the owners of the lots near the Woodhams’ farm.

Cronin told council that in July 2010, Tony and Mary Ann Giesen contacted the township to inquire about the impact of

the new comprehensive zoning bylaw on the lots they owned along County Road 10. Cronin said the couple was advised by both township staff and county planning staff that the new bylaw contained a pro-vision exempting these lots from MDS1 requirements. The Giesens attended the township council meeting at which the zoning bylaw was passed, at which time, Cronin says, no objections were raised to the exemption.

Cronin stated the Giesens “were specifically assured after the passing of the bylaw the exemption from MDS1 would enable them to sell the lands as building lots, provided the buyer was aware that the par-cels would need to be consoli-dated into a one-acre parcel.” The new zoning bylaw requires a minimum lot size of one acre for a building permit to be issued.

Between the spring of 2011 and August of 2012, three cou-

ples, Barb and Gary Huber, Chris and Brittany Huber and Dennis and Tiffany Gleeson, purchased several of the Giesens’ lots. Cronin said all of the couples were advised by township staff that building permits could be issued for the lots as long as they were con-solidated into single parcels of at least an acre.

On Sept. 24, the Gleeson’s applied for a building permit on their consolidated lot. On Oct. 16, Cronin said, her office received notice from the town-ship’s solicitor, Scott Galadja, indicating the permit could not be issued.

‘Strict reading’Cronin states that Gladja

used a “strict reading” of the bylaw to conclude the consoli-dated lots were not “existing lots” as of the passage of the bylaw and therefore not cov-ered by the MDS1 exemption.

Cronin said such a strict interpretation of the bylaw “would nullify the entire inten-

tion of the bylaw and result in this exemption having no purpose and no point in law.”

Cronin said the purpose of creating the MDS 1 exemption in the bylaw was to permit such lots to be used as building lots.

“This was the understand-ing of the township staff and planners and the information that was consistently com-municated to the public,” she stated.

“The exemption con-templated building lots, but no building lots could exist until the lots are joined,” said Cronin, adding the “only rea-sonable interpretation is that the zoning attributes attached to these existing lots must be retained in the one acre lots which they now comprise.”

Cronin asked the town to reconsider its position and issue the Gleesons, who are currently renting a place to live while the issue is sorted out, a building permit, or to take steps to amend the wording of

its bylaw “so as to fit its strict interpretation with the intended purpose.”

Mayor Bruce Whale replied that “we will certainly take all the information that you have provided into consideration and hopefully we can reach a solution fairly quickly.”

Council then moved in-camera to meet with the town-ship’s solicitor for close to an hour.

After the in-camera session, Whale advised the delegation “our solicitor has requested a week to take into consider-ation all the information that has been provided by you and hopefully try to pen some options and a solution to this situation as quickly as pos-sible.”

Whale said he was hopeful there would be further infor-mation in “a week to 10 days.”

Council held an additional in-camera session at the end of the Oct. 23 regular meeting.

Lot owners seek answers on Mapleton MDS waiver issue

MAPLETON - After the highly successful FEASTT (Fertilizer Efficiency and Strip Tillage Tour) was held on Aug. 22 at Clean Field Services (CFS) near Drayton, a dona-tion of $1,350 was made to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank.

The collaborative effort between CFS, Alpine Plant Foods and MK Martin was an intensive plot and demonstra-tion event, showing strip-tilled corn and soybeans with vari-ous Alpine soil-applied and foliar-applied nutrient pack-ages.

Close to 200 grow-ers attended from across the province and a bus load of Michigan growers attended the following day.

by Patrick RaftisMAPLETON – Municipal

insurance premiums in Maple-ton remain stable, Steve Smith of Frank Cowan Company Ltd., told Mapleton council members on Oct. 23.

“That’s as a result of your excellent claims history,” said Smith, a record he credited to conscientiousness of municipal staff and council.

Smith noted municipalities “remain something of a target,” resulting in high liability cover-age rates.

“Nobody’s responsible for their accidents anymore. They all have to bring everything

back to the municipality,” he commented.

The township will pay an annual premium of $170,989 for all forms of coverage in the 2012-13 term. That’s up about 2.5 per cent from the $166,265 the municipality paid in premi-um for the 2011-12 term.

The policy provides the mu-nicipality with municipal liabil-ity coverage up to $25 million per occurrence.

A report on current mar-ket conditons provided by the Frank Cowan Company, which specializes in insuring public entities such as municipalities, notes the sector continues to

experience “significant” losses.“Some of these have been

driven by landmark cases, but overall, frequency and severity of claims has increased dra-matically.

“As well the overall cost of claims, which takes into ac-count escalating court awards, claims administration expense and the ever-increasing replace-ment cost of assets, has contin-ued to rise. Insurers and rein-surers are extremely cautious about public entity liability ex-posures due in part of the com-plexity of services provided by public sector organizations,” the report states.

MISSIONARY 3 BETHEL 2Bethel gained an early lead

with a rush on net. Mike Veens set up Brandon Wideman who snapped a shot over the stick of the goaltender for the goal.

Missionary tied the game early in the second. Tom Cham-bers sent the puck to Dave Scholten deep in the corner. Scholten circled out in front of the net and beat netminder Der-

ek Wideman with a screened shot.

Missionary took the lead later in the period. Dave Schol-ten set up Ryan Roth at the right face-off circle. A quick shot sent the puck into the short side.

Missionary added the in-surance goal to open the third. Bethel was caught pinching too deep and Missionary skated

away with a two on one rush. Scott Vandenberg slipped a pass across the crease and brother Paul who buried the goal.

Bethel edged back into the game with a powerplay goal. Brock Shoemaker worked the puck to Tim Bauman who beat netminder Grant Brubacher with a wrist shot.

Bethel pulled their goalie in the final minute but Missionary held on for the win.

DRAYTON 3 FLORADALE 2

Both teams skated hard into this game, but two quick goals late in the first period gave Drayton the lead.

Eric Dekkers scored the pair, assisted by Herman Mul-der, Hans Robous and Mark Timmerman.

Floradale came back for a goal late in the second. Mike Martin blasted a shot on net and Javon Martin tipped the puck through the five hole.

PALMERSTON - Local teachers are the target of a Pie in the Face fundraiser - of course, that’s only those brave educators who agreed to be part of this tasty program.

The Interact youth group of Rotary International in Palmerston created this fun fundraising event for November at the Norwell District Secondary school and the youth are selling ballots to potential pie throwers, who can win a chance to throw a tasty pie in the face of a number of participating teachers.

This event is one of the many fundraiser activities the Rotary Interact Youth group is undertaking to fund projects such as Free the Children, or Aquaboxes for disaster areas in the world. Aquaboxes filled with essential necessities dur-ing disasters are used to filter 1,200 litres of water at a time and make it drinkable. They are sponsored in cooperation

with other Rotary clubs. Often Aquaboxes are among the first disaster relief equipment dis-tributed in areas hit by earth-quakes, storms, tsunamis and floods, providing fresh water.

The Interact club of Norwell is supported by the Rotary clubs of Drayton and Clifford, which annually spon-sor a selected youngster to attend leadership courses like Adventures in Citizenship

at parliament in Ottawa and the Seminar for Tomorrow’s Leaders in London.

Interact will also be set-ting up fundraising collection points to gather children’s win-ter clothing or winter coats at area supermarkets and librar-ies.

Friends of the Lee pro-vided a delicious lunch for the group and took them to the Erland Lee Drive House and gift shop and showed them around the ground of the birth-place of Women’s Institute 115 years ago.

They took many pictures and purchased souvenirs.

The newly-decorated drive house was the perfect setting for a power point presentation of the interior of the Erland Lee Museum Home for the guests who were unable to tour the home because of the renovations that are currently under way.

There was an exchange of pins and calendars between Ontario and England after

which they wished their guests a safe trip back to England.

Changing our tuneOn Oct. 10, 140 WI mem-

bers from the Guelph area attended area convention in the new Alma community hall.

Chairperson Glenna Smith called the meeting to order. The hall was decorated for the season as members were gath-ered around carefully deco-rated tables.

Joan Law gave a memorial presentation.

The district song competi-tion was judged by Louise Elder. The winners were Wellington-Halton with Waterloo District in second place. The winners received $50 and second received $25 Members heard a presentation from the OPP on roundabouts, best practices and the new move-over laws.

The Alma WI served a roast beef dinner.

After lunch, greetings from

guests were received. Also a report from area voting del-egate Pauline Weiland, provi-incial board member Barbara Weese and provincial presi-dent Elsie Stephenson.

Other afternoon speakers on the theme “Changing our Tune” were Lousie Elder on voice training, dietician Vicky La Forge and Deb Griffey from Shears to You on crafts.

Big donationAfter election of officers,

and acceptance of the bylaws, members voted to donate $2,000 to the Friends of the Lee for the renovations that are in progress.

Next year’s chairperson Margaret McMahon gave the courtesies and invited every-one to Kurtsville for the 2013 area convention.

The meeting closed with the singing of So Long it’s Been Good to Know You.

Be preparedAs the remnants of Hurricane Sandy tore through our region ear-

lier this week, along with the damage, the storm brought a reminder of the importance of being prepared for an emergency at all times.

For one thing, it illustrated the foresight of organizers of a mock disaster dubbed Huron Challenge, which simulated a weather-relat-ed emergency across Bruce, Grey, Huron and Wellington County just two weeks ago. The exercise, hosted by Emergency Manage-ment Ontario and Bruce Power, provided an important test of emer-gency communications systems and other services across the region.

While most of our area escaped major damage, there were inci-dents, including the death of a Toronto woman killed by flying debris in the high winds Monday night, which brought home the fact that even the “tail end” of a severe weather incident can be dangerous, even deadly.

Despite the lengthy warning provided by weather watchers, there were no doubt many of us who headed home from work Monday night with gas tanks approaching empty, to houses where flashlights contained only long-dead batteries and little, if anything, was stored in the way of back-up food and water supplies.

While every family will have individualized needs, below is a sample list of items that could make a big difference to how well your family fares in the next emergency, whatever the season.

FoodThree-day supply of non-perishable food that needs no cooking,

a hand-operated can opener, plastic plates, cups, utensils.WaterTwo gallons per person a day to last three days for drinking and

sanitation.First aidFirst aid kit , backup prescriptions for essential medications.Personal hygieneHand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes; toilet paper, paper towels,

garbage bags ; dental care and vision products; travel-size soaps; change of clothes, pair of shoes and blanket per person.

Baby itemsFormula, bottles, powdered milk, diapers, wipes , diaper rash

ointment.LightingFlashlights for each family member with extra batteries, fluores-

cent lanterns for each common area, waterproof matches or a utility lighter.

CommunicationPortable, battery-powered radio, land-line phone with long cord ,

extra batteries for flashlights, lanterns, radio, extra cell phone battery or car charger, whistle.

Family safety itemsSmoke detector with battery for each floor, carbon monoxide

detector with battery backup, fire extinguisher , non-scented bleach for sanitization, sunscreen , insect repellent , shovel and basic tools.

Transportation ItemsRoad maps, basic repair items (tools, tire patch kit, engine oil),

Drayton Memorial Park and Cenotaph

The Memorial Park and Cenotaph have been there as long as most of us can remem-ber. We take it for granted that we can gather there on Nov. 11 each year to remember and hon-our those men and women who defended our country.

When Great Britain declared war on Germany in August 1914 Canada, as a part of the British Empire, was involved in the conflict. Captain F. B. Smith started drilling the men of Company F, a reserve com-pany, in the council chambers at Drayton town hall that same month. The company was later transferred to London, Ontario.

Recruiting meetings were held and many young men from Drayton, Peel and Maryborough enlisted over the next couple of years. They were trained and soon sent to fight in the conflict in France.

Local political leaders helped form Patriotic Leagues to find ways and means to support the war efforts. From the beginning, the Women’s Institute members sewed shirts and pajamas and knit socks by the hundreds to be sent overseas for the service men.

From August 1914 to November 1918 the local news-paper, the Advocate reported the names of those who had enlist-ed in the military service, when they departed for overseas, and of those who were wounded or killed in action. There were accounts of presentations made to departing soldiers, memorial services held in local churches for those killed in action, and welcoming receptions for those returning home.

In June 1918 an honour roll for Drayton, Peel, Moorefield and Maryborough was printed in the Advocate. There were 200 names on the roll, includ-

ing four nursing sisters. The list was to be updated from week to week and the editor asked read-ers to furnish missing names and advise of errors in spelling or otherwise.

Finally at 5am Monday morning, Nov. 11, 1918 the news reached Drayton that the armistice between the Allies and Germany was confirmed. At 11am that day a huge crowd gathered at the town hall to hear thankful messages from the reeve and five local clergy, and to sing songs of thanks-giving lead by a union choir. That night a huge bonfire was lit on the village main square on which the effigy of Kaiser “Bill” was burned.

In a December 1918 issue of the paper, the editor suggested that a suitable monument, bear-ing the names of the Drayton, Peel and Maryborough service-men who were casualties of the war, be erected in Victoria Cemetery, at the town hall or the library. It would be nine years before a memorial became a reality.

A news item reported that on Nov. 11, 1919 the school children marched to the village square and sang the national anthem. The November issues of the Advocate from 1920 to 1926 reported that John Lunz, local merchant, displayed the poem In Flanders Fields in his store window during the month and on Nov. 11, 1926 John

Lunz’s ad admonished “Lest We Forget,” and reported Nov. 18, 1926 that the United Church had held an evening Armistice Day service.

In January 1927 the for-mation of a committee to plan a homecoming reunion was reported. Strangely the Advocate reported no fundrais-ing, land acquisition or planning of a memorial, either as a news item about the reunion commit-tee or in the reported minutes of the Women’s Institute, until in the Aug. 4, 1927 issue. In it there was a lengthy account of the four-day homecoming reunion events, which included the dedication and unveiling of the cenotaph.

Here we learned the Drayton Women’s Institute designed and had built the cenotaph and gates at Memorial Park on the corner of Wood and Wellington Streets. The park land was donated to the Women’s Institute by local business man Mr. O. B. Henry. At a ceremony and memorial service on July 25, 1927 the Memorial Park was dedicated and the Cenotaph unveiled by His Honour W.D Ross, Lieutentant Governor Ontario.

Nevertheless, we owe a debt of gratitude to the Women’s Institute for making sure there is a memorial park and cenotaph where we continue to remember and honour all who have served.

Ever wonder where that poppy money goes? The Drayton branch 416 of the Royal Canadian Legion (RCL) is now fully immersed in one of its busiest times of the year with its annual Poppy Campaign. The campaign runs from Oct. 26 to Nov. 11 and monies raised from this go to support local, pro-vincial and federal charities. Last year the Drayton Branch distributed proceeds to the Goderich Tornado Relief Fun, The Palmerston and District Hospital Foundation and St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation in London. Funds are also used for the local RCL Essay,

Poetry and Poster competition to further an educational com-ponent.

Each year the Legion invite selementary and secondary stu-dents to participate in the com-petition. Students have until Nov. 9 to submit their entries. In addition to all of this a cer-tain percentage of the funds are reserved in a trust fund in the event a local veteran requires financial assistance. This year’s Remembrance Day observations will be held on Nov. 11 at 2:30pm at the Drayton Cenotaph. Following the service everyone is invited to the Legion for refreshments and fellowship.

WATERLOO – For many years now, Nov. 11 has been one of the busiest days of the year for Gerard Helmond.

This year on Nov. 11, Helmond will play the tradi-tional tunes of Remembrance Day on the bugle at a morning service in Waterloo, the after-noon service in Drayton and an evening service in Elmira.

The Waterloo resident is a member of the Waterloo Region Police Band (WRPB). With skilled buglers much in demand, he makes himself available to perform at as many services as possible.

For the past decade, he’s been providing music, includ-ing The Last Post, for the Drayton Remembrance Day

service through a connection with the Elmira Legion branch, which assists with the Drayton ceremonies.

Memories of wartimeHelmond began playing the

bugle at the age of nine in his native Holland. He came to Canada with his family in 1955, at the age of 14. Before that, he recalls as a child watching V1 and V2 rockets flying overhead on their way to strike England, from his home in Gouda.

Although not a police offi-cer, Helmond has been playing with the WRPB for the past 34 years. He said the band is made up of 90 per cent civilians.

“If you had to put together a 60 or 70-piece band out of just police officers, it would be pretty difficult,” he notes, add-

ing the band includes people from many walks of life “who just enjoy playing music.”

However, he notes, “because I am in uniform, I have to get authorization for anything I do on my own,” such as the Drayton Nov. 11 service.

Helmond is also busy in the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day, playing at services in churches, schools and other venues. He is also often called upon to play at the funerals of war veterans.

Cenotaph service Nov. 11The 2012 Remembrance

Day Service in Drayton will be held on Nov. 11 at 2:30pm at the cenotaph in Drayton Memorial Park.

Bugler sounds the call of remembrance on Nov. 11

Busy bugler - As each Remembrance Day draws near, Gerard Helmond is kept busy playing at services around the area, including, for the past decade, the Nov. 11 cenotaph service in Drayton. Community News file photo

Bistro is OpenforLunch & Dinner(Wed, Thurs & Fri)GREAT SPECIALS IN THE STORE

Tanis Cowan knew a greatmusic opportunity when shesaw it five years ago, afterbeing introduced to a uniqueprogram called Music forYoung Children (MYC).

Having taught private pianolessons for 15 years, Ms. Tanis,as her students call her, waslooking to expand her teachinghorizons and her music studio,and found it through MYC.

Ms. Tanis recognized theprogram’s potential since it hadnever been offered in Drayton,it was fun for students, parentsand teacher, and it offered apiano-keyboard program forchildren as young as 3½ in agroup setting.

“I loved the idea of grouplessons, since it’s always morefun to explore and learn in agroup, regardless of the topic,”explained Ms. Tanis.

She also liked that it was aprogram that was tested, triedand true, being taught by morethan 800 teachers to over24,000 students on three differ-ent continents and toutingCanadian origins, being found-ed in 1980.

MYC’s mission statementis to “provide the best qualitymusic education to young chil-dren by blending the pleasureand the joy of music makingwith sound instruction.”

MYC’s interactive systemmotivates and engages parentsand children, nurturing familybonds and delivering valuableco-learning experiences whiledeveloping a firm, fundamentalunderstanding of music.

A unique aspect of MYC isthe parent learns along with thechild because they are soinvolved. In fact, Ms. Taniscredits the success of the pro-gram to the parents of her stu-dents.

“I am the teacher once aweek; they are the at-home‘coach’ several days a week,”she said.

An initial goal for each ofMs. Tanis’ students is to devel-op the happy habit of practic-ing. She encourages her stu-dents to practice by giving aspecial “super duper” stickereach week.

“Practicing does not need tobe long; 10 to 15 minutes a dayto start,” she said.

Ms. Tanis’ creativity shinesthrough by offering severalextra practice incentivesthroughout the year to ensurestudents attain their musicalgoals. Once students have col-lected enough stickers on their“happy practice thermome-ters,” they have a party. Thisyear, to celebrate the 2010Olympics, students earned

paper mittens for five happypractices. The mittens wereplaced on the studio wall in theshape of the 5 Olympic rings.

When the rings were com-plete students enjoyed anOlympics music class. Thispast year Ms. Tanis encouragedthe students not only to prac-tice but also to think of others,by practicing for pennies. Oncethe pennies were all collectedthey were donated to CampBucko, for burn victims.

For the upcoming year sheis planning two new incentives;a “Tree of Thanks” incentivearound Thanksgiving time anda “Seed Incentive” in the

spring. Of course, special holi-days are incorporated into Ms.Tanis’ MYC classes, such asCanada Music Week,Christmas, Valentine’s Day andEaster. Theme days areplanned as well.

Throughout the year herstudents participate in aChristmas concert, and a springrecital and have the option toparticipate in the PalmerstonCanada Music Week Festivaland the Drayton MusicFestival.

“Children are so receptiveto music that it makes sense touse this medium to spark theircreativity and develop their

skills and confidence at anearly age” said Ms. Tanis.

She offers four of MYC’smusic programs: Sunrise,Sunshine, Sunbeam andMoonbeam. Children whocomplete the most advancedlevel of MYC are well pre-pared for early intermediatepiano studies, or the study ofanother instrument.

Sunrise is a pre-keyboardmusic and movement programthat teaches music conceptsthrough singing, rhythm andgames. This program is forchildren ages 2 to 4 and devel-ops listening awareness, finemotor skills, social interaction,confidence and attention span.Children can easily attend witha grandparent or caregiver, plussiblings can attend the class aswell.

The Sunshine keyboardprogram is geared towardschildren ages 3½ and 4; theSunbeam keyboard programtoward ages 5 and 6; and theMoonbeam keyboard programis for ages 7 through 9. Allthree keyboard programs inte-grate creative movement,rhythm, singing, music theoryand composition for parent andchild in a weekly one-hour ses-sion.

Participating in a MYCclass helps children develop

listening, reading, fine andgross motor, social skills andhas been proven to enhancechildren’s social developmentand learning skills, improvememory and problem solving,and bolster confidence andself-esteem.

Ms. Tanis also offers aMusic Pups program, which isespecially unique since it is amusic program for babies. Thisis a playful and creative musicand movement class for parentswith children ages newborn toage 4. Children are introducedto a wide variety of musicalscales, tonal and rhythm pat-terns and instruments that helpto stimulate musical growth.Each child participates at his orher own level. To find out moreabout Pups and to view classvideos visit themusicclass.com.

The ultimate success of anyMYC program lies behind theteacher and Ms. Tanis is noexception to that rule. It’s obvi-ous she is an enthusiasticteacher who cares a great dealfor her students.

“Their struggles are mystruggles,” she states. “Andtheir triumphs are equally tri-umphant for me.”

The Family clothes Line offers new and ‘pre-loved’ seasonal apparel

New to downtown Drayton, The Family Clothes Line recently threw open its doors at 24 Wellington Street. Owner Andria West, who describes herself as a “mompreneur” is excited about her new business venture. West’s vision for her business is to be the “go to” shop for new, pre-loved and consignment, seasonal apparel for area families. As a mother of two small chil-dren, West began searching for an opportunity to generate an income for her family while still being the primary caregiver for her children. Her first opportunity came through Bonita Boutique,

which spring-boarded her to launch The Family Clothes Line. The store specializes in high qual-ity brand name consignment clothing which in turn gives families an opportunity to profit from their gently-loved clothing. West offers a wide variety of boys and girls newborn sizing to size 16, women’s sizing: 0-Plus, as well as a men’s section, making The Family Clothes Line a very economical place to shop. West admits consignment can be challenging in terms of finding people willing to consign their clothing, but encourages them to give it a try. “It’s a great

way to finance your new wardrobe.” The store also features locally hand crafted items, partner-ing with other “mompreneurs.” There is such a great selection of previously-loved clothing as well as an ever-evolving selection of new items such as: handcrafted soaps, pillowcase dresses, children’s baking aprons, tutus and hair acces-sories. West is always looking for creative new products to feature and invites local crafters and seamstresses to visit.

The Family Clothes Line prides itself on pro-viding a family friendly atmosphere. In keeping

with this goal the store also features a play area so that parents can relax and shop while their children are entertained.

Be sure to check in weekly as new quality items are always arriving. Great merchandise doesn’t stay around too long but The Family Clothes Line hopes their customers do.

The Family Clothes Line welcomes you at 21 Wellington St. Unit 4, Drayton or join them on Facebook for weekly updates. Their hours are: Tues. and Wed. 10:30-5:00, Thurs. 10:30-6:00, Fri. 10:30-5:00 and Sat 10:30-3:00.

by Caleb CribbenGrade 5 Maryborough PSDRAYTON - Every year on

Sept. 26, a soccer tournament is held for junior students from across Wellington County.

This year, the tourna-ment was held in Drayton. Participating schools were Minto, Kenilworth, Drayton, Mount Forest, Arthur, Palmerston and Maryborough.

Maryborough successfully won their first game versus Kenilworth 5-0. Amazing goals were scored by Caleb Cribbin, Tyson McClain, Alex Schwarzentruber, Tyler Franklin, and Tony Frey.

In an exciting game two ver-sus Drayton, Maryborough’s Aydan Zimmerman scored in the first half. Drayton kept get-ting shots, but they were no problem for Maryborough’s goalies Alex McFadden, Tyson McClain and Josh Martin, to handle.

In the second half, Maryborough’s outstand-ing defence and midfielders stopped Drayton from getting shots on net. Maryborough

kept the lead and went on to win 1-0.

In game number three both teams went in without a loss. It was Minto versus Maryborough. All the play-ers from Maryborough were nervous - nobody said it, but you could tell by looking at

them. The first goal came off of the free shot, with Tyson McClain tipping the ball so Caleb Cribens could shoot it through the Minto team and into the net. Scoring three more goals, Maryborough went on with another win without let-ting in any goals thanks to their

incredible defense, midfielders and, of course, the goalies.

Game number four, Maryborough versus Palmerston, was very exciting. In the end the score was 2-0 for Maryborough with Aydan Zimmerman and Tyler scoring.

In the finals, Maryborough took on Mount Forest. Both teams were pumped and ready to play. It was a close game the whole game but nobody scored so it went into a shootout. In the shootout Mount Forest Scored two and Maryborough didn’t score.

Despite the disappointing loss, Maryborough went home happy with their second-place finish.
