rontenac County was well represented at a Student Achievers Awards ceremony at the Limestone District School Board offices last week. Emily Delyea and Skyler Howes of Granite Ridge (Sharbot Lake) and Stephanie Jones from Sydenham High School were among 12 students in the board to receive citations at the event. Emily Delyea has run the deck with every mark on her transcript at Level 4 and most of her grades in the high 90s. She is a member of four varsity teams, is also involved in student council, coaching and other activities, and is a Relay for Life volunteer. She will be studying Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa in September. Skyler Howes excels in Math and Sciences, and he won the Governor General’s Academic Medal as well in recognition of his overall average. He is also a leader on five varsity teams and a KASSAA all-star to boot. He has coached in the Northern Basketball League for elementary students. In addition
to his activities at the school, he has completed 383 volunteer hours in the community with the local fire department, rec committee and his church. He will be studying Engineering at Queen’s in the fall. Stephanie Jones is a dedicated, hardworking, high-achieving student. Stephanie has a developmental disability; she has had to overcome a number of learning challenges and has been an inspiration to her teachers. She spends a lot of time in class working with other students while maintaining a high grade average. She is highly involved in the photography program at SHS. During the recent Multicultural Fair, Stephanie’s portfolio was chosen by her peers as the best overall collection of photos and journal entries, and for outstanding artistic creativity. She has spent over 200 hours on community volunteer work, and will be attending St. Lawrence College in September, as one of only 15 students accepted into the Community Integration Through Co-operative Education program.
n Ottawa Superior Court Justice has ruled that a defamation lawsuit launched by former Frontenac County Warden Janet Gutowski against four members of Frontenac County Council (including current warden, Bud Clayton) can proceed to trial. The case stemmed from a resolution that was passed at a meeting of County Council in May of 2013, while Gutowski was the county warden. The resolution in question includes an assertion that Gutowski breached her oath of office by “uttering promises and rewards in an effort to conspire with staff to move county councillors to vote ‘in a biased, corrupt or any other improper manner.” At the time, Gutowski said she was going to consult her lawyer. Her lawyer later sent a letter to the four councilors who had supported the resolution in question, which passed in a 4-3 vote. They are Bud Clayton, Mayor Dennis Doyle and Councilor David Jones from Frontenac Islands, and Councilor John McDougall from South Frontenac Township. The letter asked that the councilors move to rescind the resolution in question, apologise, and pay her legal fees. “At that time my legal fees were limited to the cost of a lawyer’s letter,” Gutowski said this week. Instead, the four defendants hired a lawyer of their own, Kirk Stevens, partner in the Toronto law firm, Lerners LLP, whose fees are being paid by a Frontenac County insurance policy. Stevens filed a motion in the Ottawa Superior Court asking Justice R. Beaudoin quash the case for three reasons, the major one being that communications made within the context of a municipal council meeting are covered by an “absolute privilege” and cannot be the subject of a defamation suit. A one-day hearing took place in Ottawa on April 29 to deal with Stevens’ motion. In his 20-page ruling, Justice Beaudoin concluded that communications made during municipal council meetings do not carry an “absolute privilege” as do those in federal parliament or the provincial legislature.
A key element in Justice Beaudoin’s ruling is that municipal councils do not have the same kinds of rules of procedure as in the federal or provincial context. “If Members of Parliament and the Legislature make comments that are inappropriate, the Speaker has a variety of recourse measures that may be employed, from simply recording apology, naming the member and ejecting them from Parliament until they retract their comments,” he wrote, adding that this makes communications at municipal councils different. “Even if I am wrong on this point,” he added, “the issue should be decided on a full factual record.” At the end of his ruling, Justice Beaudoin invited each side to submit their costs to him. When contacted, Janet Gutowski said the ruling clears the way for her defamation suit to proceed. “Unless the defendants want to settle, that’s where we are headed,” she said. “It is unnecessary, particularly since it was all about them wanting me to resign as warden. When I announced last September that I was going to resign at the end of the year, they could have ended this and saved the county some money. But here we are.” When contacted, Bud Clayton said that as far as he is concerned the matter will now proceed in court. “I have not talked to the others since the ruling came out, but as far as I’m concerned I stand by the way I voted on that motion. I did it for my own reasons and nothing has changed. No further court dates have been set on this matter at this time. Since it is a municipal election year, it is likely this matter will be a defamation case between at least some former councilors by the time it is settled. There is no word on the impact the case will have on the insurance rate for Frontenac County Council. Janet Gutowski is seeking payment for damages as well as court costs in the case.
Power generation policies dominate candidates’ meeting by Jeff Green he candidates were not surprised that the most popular line of questioning at the first all-candidates’ meeting in LanarkFrontenac-Lennox and Addington in the current election campaign had to do with power
T
generation and electricity rates. The meeting was held on May 26 at the Kennebec Community Centre in Arden. “I’ve seen that at the door throughout the campaign. People want to talk about hydro rates, and where we are going with hydro generation in this province,” said NDP candidate Dave Parkhill after the meeting, an observation that was shared by Liberal Party candidate Bill MacDonald. The four candidates, MPP Randy Hillier from the Progressive Conservatives and Green Party
candidate Cam Mather along with Parkhill and MacDonald, were all happy to advocate for their party’s position on the issues that were brought forward. And the parties certainly have disparate views. Dave Parkhill said that what is needed is to bring back the past. “The Conservatives made a mess of Hydro by splitting it into three entities; the Liberals made it worse, and here we are. What the NDP will do, and it won’t be easy, is bring it back into one company. That way we can all decide what we all need to do in the future, we can build what we require, and we can get the electricity that we need at a price that we can afford,” he said. Randy Hillier said there were two main causes of problems at Hydro: decisions that the Liberal party made to move two generating plants “at a cost of over $1 billion, and a
Don’t Lose Your Cool
Green Energy Act that pays way over market value for solar and wind power, making good money for some people by pushing rates up for everyone else.” Cam Mather said the other parties are all avoiding the most “pressing issue facing all of us, climate change ... the only way to deal with this is to put a tax on carbon.

Frontenac News - 50 stories/150 years project
T
o help celebrate the 150th anniversary of Frontenac County, the Frontenac News is embarking on an ambitious story-telling project with the support of Frontenac County Council. The project will include feature stories in each issue of the Frontenac News in 2015, and on Frontenacnews.ca starting on January 8 and running until December 17. The stories will explore historical topics, and geographical and cultural elements in each and every corner of Frontenac County. Our main focus will be on some of the remarkable individuals who have made their lives in its borders and who have lived its history. The vast county runs from the top of Vennachar at the spot of the darkest skies in Southern Ontario at Mallory Hill,
through the Canadian Shield to fractured limestone and some prime farmland. It then bypasses the City of Kingston and continues onto Howe and Wolfe Islands, where it ends at the ferry to the United States. It contains numerous hamlets but no population centres, and has a common thread throughout. It is a waterlogged county, the county of 1000 lakes, from some as small as 53-foot-deep, one-acre-wide Little Round Lake where the water at the bottom gets no oxygen, making it one of the few “meromictic” lakes in the world, to Mazinaw, Bobs, and Crow Lakes, and the county’s largest, Lake Ontario. At one time people traversed the county by canoe, then by horse and buggy, then rail, then car and truck, and now by the electronic highway. Many of these changes have come
about in the last 100 years and some of our residents have lived through them. In order to make 50 for 150 a success, we are asking the best source we have for all of our stories - our readers - to provide us with leads. If you know of an interesting topic or individual with a remarkable story to tell, let us know as soon as possible as the list of stories is being compiled now and will be pulled together in the coming months. We are also hoping to have a video component to our 50/150 feature. To contact the News about story ideas, call 613-279-3150, email nfnews@frontenac.net and put 50/150 in the subject line, or send us a message on our Facebook page.
Dedication ceremony christens "The Ridge"
T
he tone at the official dedication ceremony for Grantie Ridge Education CEntre in sahrbot lake that took place on May 22 was one of celebration. The event packed close to 600 people into the school’s new gym/cafetorium, which is a testament to the fact the new school is indeed a place where hundreds of people can now gather comfortably for special large-scale community events. The ceremony, which was headed up by the school’s principal, Heather Highet, was a formal chance for her to recognize and thank all of the parties involved in the $15 million project, which was designed by +VG Architects in association with Shoalts and Zaback Architects Ltd. and built by Pre-Eng Contracting Ltd. The new facility ,which the students refer to as GREC or “The Ridge”, brings together the former school communities of Sharbot Lake and Hinchinbrooke under one shared roof. While Heather Highet did not gloss over the many challenges along the way, namely the delay of the opening until January 2014, the less than satisfactory outdoor play areas for the younger students, and other logistical challenges faced by students and staff, the ceremony was more focused on the many positives of the new school. Highet first thanked staff and students for their “flexibility and patience” along the way and then highlighted the school’s big pluses. She mentioned the school’s eco-friendly design; its abundance of natural light; the cutting edge educational tools and facilities it houses, like its Snoezelen room, double gym and stage; the smart boards in every classroom; the auto/wood shop; its music/drama, school to community and family studies/technology rooms; the 2000 square foot library/resource centre and more. Following Heather Highet’s remarks, Danka Brewer, gave an Aboriginal welcome and blessing to the school. Next, a video of the school’s construction put together by teacher Eric Wotherspoon was presented, after which a number of guest speakers from the Limestone District School Board had a chance to speak. These included Board Chair Laurie French, Director of Education Brenda Hunter, Trustee Ann Goodfellow and the education officer with the Ministry of Education, Michel Chartrand, who was one of six who unveiled the new school plaque. The highlights of the ceremony of course came from the students themselves. Grade nine geography students sang a traditional Cree honour song. Grade eight students par-

All-candidates meeting - continued from pg. 1 know no one wants to talk about it but that’s what needs to happen; we cannot afford to pretend there is no economic cost to producing carbon.” Bill MacDonald supported the Green Energy Act, and moving one of the proposed gas plants into the LFL&A riding from Mississauga. “By the end of this year, there will be no more coal-fired plants in Ontario. That’s a promise we made when we were elected in 2003 and we are delivering, and the Green Energy Act has created good jobs in rural Ontario. Why would we apologize for that? As far as the gas plants are concerned, they will be creating construction jobs in this riding over the next two years and 30 to 40 permanent jobs after that.” The candidates took time during their opening remarks to point to some of their own, and their parties’ key issues. Dave Parkhill addressed the question of the NDP being targeted for causing the election to come about. “When the people of Ontario sent a minority government

to Queen’s Park, they were telling all the parties to work together. The Conservatives said no from the start, and the Liberals responded by saying they could govern as if they had a majority. It is only the NDP who listened. We said we would only support the first budget with changes, and the second as well. But this last time Kathleen Wynne said, this is it, take it or leave it,” he said. Randy Hillier said, “I have represented this riding for seven years, and in my first campaign I made a few promises. One was that I would represent this riding to Queen’s Park and that my allegiance was to the constituents, not the party. I have held to that, and it has caused some problems, but I can say that everyone at Queen’s Park respects me for it.” Bill MacDonald addressed the local audience. “When you wonder why it is there is no long-term care facility in Frontenac County, and why there are other infrastructure deficits here, you might consider that the last time there was an MPP at Queen’s Park from Frontenac County was Jack Simonett in 1963. I’m not saying MPs only serve their home county, because I would work for all three, but it might be time to send someone from Frontenac County to Queen’s Park.” Cam Mather stressed climate change from the start. “All of the issues the other candidates are discussing will come to nothing in the face of climate change. Putting a price on carbon means that energy is going to be more expensive under the Green Party, but we have lots ways to deal with it, especially for those who can’t afford it.”

Guilty yes, sort of, but not in 1975 - no way Sharbot Lake Criminal Court - May 26
T
he Crown thought the case was settled, but some offhanded comments by the defendant led Judge Wright to slow things down. Christopher Bernard, 59, pleaded guilty to a charge of driving a vehicle while impaired by alcohol. But when the narrative of the case was read out, which described how he was spoted waving along Elm Tree Road, and after being stopped appeared intoxicated and then failed both a roadside and a formal breath test (registering 160 - twice the legal limit), Bernard said, “I don’t agree with any of what was said; I just want to get it over with.” “What don’t you agree with?” Judge Wright asked. After saying “the whole thing” a couple of times, Bernard then said that there is no way he should have been stopped because of the state of the Elm Tree Road. “You have to switch lanes to get through because of the pot holes,” he said. “If you don’t agree with what has been said, and think you should not have been stopped, then I can’t accept your plea, and you will need to get a lawyer and think about a trial,” said the judge. After calling for a break and talking once again to the court-sponsored duty counsel, Mr. Bernard said that he was now willing to accept the Crown’s summation of the case. But before he could be sentenced, the Crown presented that Christopher Bernard has had three prior convictions, the oldest one in 1975. “I’ve only had one conviction,” Bernard

said, “the one in 1995” “Will the Crown prove all three convictions or do you want to proceed on the basis of only the 1995 conviction?” Judge Wright asked. The Crown decided it wanted all three convictions to be considered and the case was adjourned until June 16. In the meantime, a driving prohibition against Mr. Bernard, which by statute will be included in his sentencing, is not yet in place. Guilty plea: Jason Lowery, 28, pleaded guilty to charges of driving with blood alcohol over 80 mg. / 100 ml of blood and breaching a peace bond. He was arrested while driving on Road 506 on April 12. His blood alcohol readings were 109 and 108 and at the time he was under the conditions of a peace bond relating to a case that came before the Kingston court in December of 2013. One of the conditions of the peace bond was that he refrain from ingesting drugs or alcohol. He received one year’s probation for breach of the peace bond. His sentence for the driving offence is a 12-month driving prohibition in addition to a $1,000 fine. Judge Wright also issued a warning, saying if he is back in court again he will be facing jail time. Trial date set – Sharon Quinn, 56, charged with impaired operation of a vehicle and driving over 80, will be tried on October 20 in Sharbot Lake. Withdrawn – A charge of possession of an illegal substance against Garth Gimby, 27, was withdrawn after diversion had been completed.
Letter to the editor Re: Hydro One pesticide spraying
H
ydro One is warning those living in South Frontenac they will be spraying Galon “as part of its vegetation management program, on the condition that Hydro One reviews the program with township staff, advises adjacent property owners in advance of spraying and does no spraying adjacent to organic farming operations.” There is no question here of permission. I am certainly not alone in taking issue with the use of poisons when manual labour will deal with the issue and not harm the environment, which includes people. We seem to have forgotten that we live in a closed system. Poisons, no matter how 'safe' they are purported to be, kill. Be it pesticides, herbicides or suicides, there are alternatives. Yes, it is more labour intensive and the care will be ongoing, but in the end, you have life not death. Studies continue to assess the lingering effects of poisons on our pollinators, animals and humans. Getting informed about this, apparently yearly, poisoning ritual, I went on line to find out why chemical warfare is deemed necessary to tame nature. Stephen Overbury from Portland wrote a letter to the Smith Falls Record News last August, denouncing the use of chemicals because people would be af-

Letter Splitting the vote means radical cuts
I
t is a fact that our province is seriously in debt. The Liberal path to a balanced budget and job creation moves in the direction of wage stability, the Ontario Pension Plan and reducing energy costs. Now, in response to the NDP platform, 34 high-profile NDPers such as Judy Rebick and Michele Lansberg, suggest voting Liberal – rather than split the vote and allow the Hudak (& Harper) Conservatives to make radical cuts. 100,000 public servants, mainly teachers will be fired. Splitting the vote means that as few as 38% could impose their will on 62% of the voters. Who will stand up for Ontario? I’m voting for Bill McDonald. Ken Fisher

Letter Re: "Defend our Climate gathering"
C
arol Pepper in her May 22/14 comment, "Defend Our Climate Gathering" mentions that this is all about defending our communities, rights, economy, health, sovereignty, etc. The truth is that this movement started out identified as "global warming", but was hastily changed to "climate change" as the originators saw that global cooling was also on the radar so to speak. Carol is correct in one sense but in another quite wrong. The movement makes a big ado about an event that has been and is repetitive, but it is misused to steal billions of dollars yearly from western nations to enrich the pockets of the system, tyrannical nations and leaders, and so called experts who talk the talk but whose lifestyles do not walk the walk. In short it is a scam, another way to fool the foolish and ignorant into parting ways with their earned money through ridiculous environmental fees that do no good except make multi millionaires of the "enviro scammers". Thus it is an attack on communities, standard of living, rights, economies, health, freedoms, sovereignty, etc. etc. etc. It is also interesting to note that several people, including David Suzuki, who is but a mere geneticist with no educational background in climate change, was one of those latter day inquisitorial intolerants.

fected. He called Hydro One and eventually, some three referrals later, was put in touch with the forestry manger for that region, who told him that “in this rural application, they (the poisons) were legal.” When someone says something is 'legal' it brings Monsanto to mind, as they try to legally fool the public into thinking GMOs are a good thing, are trying to ban a farmer's right to save his crop seeds, or remove our ability to choose non-GMO products. On the whole the Hydro One site showed the many positive ways staff deal with trees and brush in an environmentally responsible way, but they continue to use herbicides for vegetation control. This must stop. Here is their on-line email. I hope you join me in asking Hydro One to use manual labour to deal with the vegetation over-growth. webmaster@hydroone.com , subject: RoW Maintenance Request from Web There are always alternatives to the use of poisons.

In Australia, in February each year they have a “FebFast”. It’s a charity movement which challenges you to take a 28-day break from alcohol and raise funds for youth addiction. It’s a great idea to give up one thing in your life for a good cause. You don’t have to wait till February to try it and the person to benefit from this fast would be you and your health and the charity of your choice. If you are over 65, getting a pneumonia shot is a good idea. This is especially important if you have a chronic illness. Those under 65 who have compromised immune systems or a chronic disease should also receive a pneumonia shot. Those who experience muscle pain from taking cholesterol-lowering “statin” drugs may have an alternate therapy in the future. Researchers are looking at creating antibodies that will circulate through the blood and lower the bad LDL cholesterol. This is still in the triaI phase but showing much promise. The summer holiday season is fast approaching and it’s a good time to review the contents of your first-aid kit to keep in your car during your travels. The kit should contain things like a digital thermometer, sorted bandages and tape, medication to reduce pain and fever, some hydrocortisone cream for stings and bites, some skin antiseptic and antihistamines. Our pharmacy staff can help you put together a firstaid kit and give advice on the age-appropriate medications to treat various symptoms.

PRlCE, Grant - In loving memory of our Dad, Grandpa & Uncle, who passed away May 28th, 2004. Those we love don't go away They walk beside us every day. Missed by Judy, Janice, Wanda, Michael, Gary, Brenda & famlies
Price, Grant In loving memory of my husband and very best friend, Grant Price, who passed away May 28th, 2004. You walked on ahead of me, And I've got to understand You must release the ones you love And let go of their hand. I try and cope the best I can, But I'm missing you so much. If only I could see you And once more feel your touch. Yes, you walked on ahead of me Don't worry I'll be fine, But now and then I swear I feel your hand slip into mine. Always loved and missed so much, Cleo.
Lamont, dale I have lost my soul's companion, A life linked with my own And day by day I miss him more As I walk through life alone How we miss your smiling face But you left us to remember None on earth can take your place A happy home we once enjoyed How sweet the memory still But death has left a loneliness The world can never fill For in heaven we will meet again. Always missed and forever loved Helen and Hayley

Land O’ Lakes Community Services Board recruitment – the second big lie by Cheryl Hartwick
A
few weeks ago I discussed the lie of perspective board members not needing to know anything prior to consideration of joining a board of directors. I suggested that you really should know, at least a little bit, of what the organization stands for and what services it provides. Another question that the perspective director may ask is, “What do I have to do?” or “What are my duties/responsibilities?” The answer to that question is often – “Nothing much really – just one meeting/month – it isn’t really too time consuming.” That is definitely another lie. According to various policies and legal standards regarding volunteer boards of notfor-profit agencies, the roles of directors are to manage senior staff, participate in strategic planning initiatives, and develop and implement corporate policies. This means working within federal and provincial government standards, so it is necessary to have an understanding of social policy. The truth is, directors should be prepared to commit some time to activities other than just monthly meetings. A director may be expected to: participate on standing or ad-hoc committees; chair other committees; volunteer at fundraisers and promotional events; participate in letter writing campaigns; be aware of social policies that affect the organization; advocate on behalf of the organization for government funding; discuss and “talk-up” the organization in the community Directors are expected to act in the best interest of the organization with competence (skill) and diligence and boards often require competency in specific areas (legal, public

else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" Acts 4:12
relations, human resources, employee relations, negotiations, communications – just to name a few). It is not my intention to scare people away from volunteering as a director; my hope in divulging these two truths is to illustrate the importance of the role and to encourage community-minded people to volunteer for Land O’ Lakes Community Services. Become a member of the organization and maybe join a committee to learn more about what is offered. Come out to the AGM on June 16 at the Lions Hall in Northbrook and/ or call 613-336-8934 to learn more.

by Bob Brooks n a few weeks, on the evening of June 20, the Parham fairgrounds will be lit up by hundreds of candles to celebrate the lives and strength of the people in this community who have battled cancer. This disease has touched virtually everyone of us in some way, and now we have a chance to do something about it. FIGHT BACK. You can register a team, join a team that already exists, volunteer your time to help the event be the success it is or buy luminaries to help light the way for our walkers, all of these are ways that you can personally fight back against the disease that never sleeps. Registering a team couldn't be easier. Contact Christine Teal at mrsteal2u@hotmail.com and she will ensure that you are registered as a new team or she can place you on an existing team. With the purchase of luminaries, the candles that light the track through the night, you can personalize the luminary to honour a loved one. The purchase of 5 luminaries will enter you in a draw for a Friday night dinner for two at the Sharbot Lake Legion. To purchase luminaries, or to volunteer for the event contact Lyann Smith at lyann_smith@ hotmail.com and she will supply you with the information you need.

Cecil Hawley presenting the cheque to Marylin Bolender, LOL Lions president.
n May 7 the Land O'Lakes Lions had a very pleasant surprise at their meeting. Cecil Hawley, President of the Jimmie Clark Branch 328 Legion, in Northbrook was there to present the Lions with a cheque for $5,000. The members had read of our plight in the Frontenac News and came forth with this very generous donation. The Lions have been struggling, had sought help and had this gift show up. This will allow the Lions to continue to serve our community. Thank you very much Branch 328. - submitted by Marylin Bolender

Family Fun at Land O' Lakes PS by Julie Druker
I
f the motto for the parent council at Land O' Lakes Public School in Mountain Grove is not “the show must go on”, it definitely should be. That was the case for the school's annual Fun Fair, which took place on May 22 despite some heavy downpours that in no way dampened the spirits of the hundreds who attended. The annual event, which is put on by the school’s parent council
with the help of school staff, is a fundraiser for the school, and every year numerous local businesses, individuals and organizations donate their time, goods and skills to the event. There were dozens of activities for kids, including wagon rides from Brian Skillen and his team of miniature horses Teddy and Tommy; cupcake decorating; crafts; fire hose demos with Central Frontenac's Station 4 volun-
Property owners appeal for boat launch by Jeff Green
E
ven though he was not on the agenda as a delegate, Kevin Browne, president of the Sharbot Lake Property Owners' Association, was allowed to address Central Frontenac council at their meeting on May 27. Browne talked about an issue that has been simmering among property owners on the east basin of Sharbot Lake for some time, and has come to the forefront this spring because of high wa-
ter levels. Although there is a public boat launch at what is known as the government dock on the west basin of Sharbot Lake and a boat launch on Road 38, also on the west basin, there is no boat launch on the east basin. “I don't think I've heard about access to the east basin as an issue in the past. Is this something new?” asked Councilor John Purdon. “The issue is that people

n May 22 the Plevna Craft Ladies held a potluck lunch with special guests Faye LeSage and Pauline Vanesse from the Linus Project, an international organization whose goal is
"to provide a blanket of security to children facing substantial distress in their lives. Although originally focused on cancer patients, Project Linus Canada has expanded its focus to include any seri-
ously ill or traumatized child". The Plevna ladies donated 55 blankets to the project, which will be sent to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. For more information visit projectlinuscanada.org
performances by the Granite Ridge High School band, the LOLPS Glee Club, local country crooner Mitch Barker and the Feral 5. The funds raised
will go towards helping to construct a covered outdoor sand play area for younger children at the school as well as to help purchase new team shirts for the school’s
Timber Wolves. School Principal Emily Yanch said the event is important one for the small rural school, which relies on ongoing support from the local community.
with bigger boats are having trouble accessing the east basin,” said Councilor Wayne Millar, “and it is more of an issue this year because of high water levels on the underpass.” “We have looked at the lake. I think what it will boil down to is finding a suitable location and perhaps looking at the cost of ownership,” said Public Works Manager Mike Richardson. “I have two locations where you may be able to look at something,” said Kevin Browne, presenting a map to
Mike Richardson. "As far as the need for a boat launch, there is a convenience factor, there is the fact that emergency vehicles can't access the east basin, and you have the septic pumping issue. We are one of the few lakes without access. We don't need a dock, we don't need parking, just a place to get our boats in the water.” Council decided to refer the matter to staff to look at. “I guess we should take a boat ride,” Richardson said to Kevin Browne. “If we can get one on the lake."

South Frontenac Committee of the Whole - May 27 Chip Truck Competition Aubrey Francis, proprietor of a chip truck in Harrowsmith since 2008, expressed concern That another chip wagon has been permitted to open in the village less than a kilometre away. In his opinion, he had not been notified of a recent bylaw change that allows these businesses to be operated within 500 metres of each other. Mayor Davison pointed out that the bylaw amendment that Francis was referring to had been in effect since 2002; six years before Francis started his business. Councillor Robinson asserted that Council should close the second chip wagon, because Harrowsmith was not large enough to support two identical businesses. Mayor Davison responded that Council is
bound by the by-laws it has established. Energy Management Plan Public Works Manager Segsworth reminded Council that in 2013, a regulation of the Green Energy Act required each Municipality to create a five-year energy management plan by July 1st, 2014. As a first step his department has collated all energy consumption data for 2011, for all Municipal facilities that use electricity, propane and/or furnace oil for heating, cooling or general operations. This will be used as a baseline for developing a plan to reduce energy consumption, with the goal of minimizing environmental impact. The plan will come before Council for endorsement next week, then will be posted, along with the energy consumption data, on

the Township website by July 1st. Partially Maintained Township Roads “Historically, we’ve done ‘em the way we’ve done ‘em,” said Segsworth, describing the vague and unrecorded decisions that have, over many years, led to varied levels of partial maintenance on at least 42 scraps of township roads. (Two examples: Gully Road, connecting Freeman to Boundary is not open in the winter, and for most of its length barely one vehicle wide, and Little Long Lake which has 200 metres of swamp separating its two ends.) Now faced with increasing pressure for better upkeep, the Roads department has inventoried these roads. Rather than continue with ad hoc upgrades, Segsworth asked Council to consider engaging addi-

tional resources to develop criteria and identify liability with regard to increasing service levels on partially maintained roads. In a separate report, he said that the additional repair of winter damage on twenty other Township roads will draw $50,000 to $100,000 from the 2014 operating budget, which may require a review of spending priorities at the end of the third quarter. New Provincial Planning Policies: Planner Lindsay Mills reported that on April 30, a lengthy new Provincial Planning Policy statement came into effect. This controls, to some degree, what the Municipality can or cannot do within its zoning by-laws. Mills mentioned new buzz-words such as “production of food and fibre”, “resilient” and “freight supportive”, but made no attempt to interpret them. He listed eighteen general notes on the policies, some of which he described as vague and open to interpretation. He added that in spite of this, much of the text “appears to be designed for good intentions such as protecting natural heritage and endangered species from encroaching development.” In summary he says that; “It remains to be seen how this policy…will be interpreted to allow development to move forward in South Frontenac and the province as a whole.”
No parking at County
by Jeff Green aced with approving a plan to “park” $3.5 million in reserves in a number of different funds as they had agreed among themselves to do two weeks earlier at a Committee of the Whole meeting, Frontenac County Council got cold feet at a formal council meeting last Wednesday (May 21). They decided to defer a motion allocating the money until they have a chance to talk about it at least one more time. It will remain in a temporary parking spot as an unallocated reserve fund for at least another month. The proposal from the Committee of the Whole was to place $2.1 million in a strategic planning fund as follows: $100,000 to Waste Management Planning; $1.5 million to seniors’ projects; and $500,000 for economic development. Another $200,000 was to go for Asset Management requirements; $340,000 for capital commitments under cost sharing agreements; $380,000 towards the Frontenac Renovates Program; $30,000 for land acquisition as part of the trails development initiative, $154,000 for community improvement plans; and $100,000 for energy efficiency programs. Frontenac Islands Mayor Dennis Doyle was the first to suggest that the proposal should be deferred. “We said all along we would not complete the reserve discussion before we finalize our strategic plan on June 18,” he said. Councilor John McDougall agreed. “I think it is premature to do this now," he said. Although he supported the deferral, Councilor David Jones cautioned, “If we don’t make these decisions soon we are going to be managed out of our chair here. We have to commit ourselves to finishing this and finishing it fast before our time runs out.” Councilor John Purdon said, “We are not moving too fast or too slow; we are just not moving at all. We are only parking money, one way or another.” Councilor John Inglis agreed. “I see value in adopting this plan, we are not actually spending any money.” Nonetheless, the motion to defer was approved.
