E-vehicles in rural locales – is the time really now? by Jeff Green lot of people love their cars, for the feel of the drive, the power, the hauling potential, and their look. And knowing what people want their car to make them feel and then selling it back to them is the engine that has driven car sales for at least the last 70 years. David Hahn and Marion Watkins are just as enthusiastic about their new E-Golf Electric Vehicle (EV) as any other car enthusiast, and as early adopters of solar power (they have one of the first microfit solar arrays that was sold in Eastern Ontario) and David is the President of the Wintergreen Renewable Energy Co-op, a group of investors from the region who have financed some local solar projects and are committed to local control and opportunity in a sector that has been targeted for investment by multinational corporations. Living on Canoe Lake Road in a rural setting, you would think they would not be likely to want and electric vehicle because of the limited range. But they made the commitment a year ago to purchase a Volkswagon E-Golf nonetheless, and took delivery in February. They haven’t regretted it. “What we have found is that it is a per-

fect vehicle for us,” said David, “we paid $36,000 but with the provincial rebate the price dropped to $22,000, and the savings in fuel and maintenance will make it a much cheaper car to run that any gas vehicle we could have purchased. And we have no problem with the range.” In fact, they are able to drive to Kingston and back without charging up, and if they travel to Ottawa they can use the charging station at Mountain Equipment Co-op, or at one of a number of other charging stations in Ottawa. And for trips to Westport, Sydenham or Verona or to friends places in the countryside, the 250 kilometre range of the E-Golf is more than sufficient. “And with so few moving parts, maintenance on them is minimal,” said Marion. “I think these vehicles are ideal for rural people that drive the way we do,” David added, “we get more of a benefit from not buying gas because we drive further distances than people in the city do and will save more money. Besides they can use bicycles, public transit, but we still need Marion Watkins (L) and David Hahn (R) showing off the inner workings of their E-Golf vehicles to get around.” will feature seminars on practical matters For more information on the day, which Electric vehicles will be the subject of related to the vehicles, as well the finan- runs from 9:30am until 3pm, and costs the 8th annual Green Energy Retreat becial and environmental realities of driving $20 (the cost of the lunch that is provided) ing put on by the renewable energy co-op them.

Week’s weather delay doesn’t diminish crowd at Perth Road Maple Syrup Festival T

by Craig Bakay

he Perth Road Maple Syrup Festival got postponed a week due to inclement weather but last Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day and people turned out in

droves. “Well, we’re not rushed but it’s been steady all morning,” said one of the organizers, Dave Kuhn (“I’m in charge of a lot of stuff but I don’t have any official title”).

Two of the organizers, Vera Shepherd and Dave Kuhn, at The Perth Road Maple Syrup Festival last Saturday.

Kuhn said the festival, which consists of a pancake breakfast, bake sale, raffles and various displays, including Bill Votary’s sugar bush, etc, has been going on since 1991 but “it’s gotten bigger in the last 10 years. “We’re really blessed in that Bill provides the syrup for the breakfast. “Some other guys provide other things and we get a lot of support from the community when we do things.” The festival is a fundraiser in support of the Sunday School Hall but “the greatest part is all the people involved,” said Kuhn. “I think the first one was in ’85,” said Vera Shepherd, another organizer. “We used to go through 100 pounds of pancake mix but I couldn’t tell you how much we’ve used this year. “However, we have 15 cases of sausages and there’s 12 pounds in each one.” She said the bad weather the previous weekend may have been a blessing in disguise. “People were getting sick of being shut in,” she said. Next door, the Leland Ladies Group were selling pies and crafts just like the grandmothers of the current group were doing 60 years ago. They went through close to three dozen pies. No doubt they’ll sell plenty more next

C & T North Frontenac presentation

good-sized crowd turned out to Clar-Mill Hall Sunday afternoon to hear about progress being made on the One Small Township project in North Frontenac.

The Contribute & Thrive and Talking Trees presentation featured several speakers including Duncan Spence who outlined the various projects underway along with the concept of contributionism. The One Small Township model is based on the One Small Town concept espoused by Michael Tellinger, the founder of the Ubuntu movement. Under contributionism, participants in a variey of community based ventures will provide a few hours of free labour in exchange for a share in the goods that are created and any profits that are ultimately generated. Investors in the projects will receive a fixed profit, a 33% premium, from their investment. The North Frontenac project is a kind of pilot project for the Contribute and Thrive concept. Jocelyn Devillers, who runs a holistic health centre in Ottawa outlined the plans for the health centre component of the project which she said would include healing herbs, yoga and tele-medicine aspects. “We hope to have doctors soon,” she said. Steve Richardson spoke on the apiary project and eco-tourism. “The apiary was the first investor project

and was funded in 12 hours,” he said. “We plan to have 25 hives in year one and 200 hives by year five.” He said the area is good for bees because the low levels of agriculture translate to low levels of pesticide, which has been linked to bees dying off in recent years. He did acknowledge that bears might be a problem. “We need the bears to understand that we’re not making something for them,” he said, adding that they’re looking at electric fencing to keep bears out. In the question period following the presentations, one audience member was concerned about the affect this new bee operation would have on already established local producers. “When we sell honey, we will sell it for the same price local producers sell it for,” said Spence. “Even though we can make it cheaper. “We will also be inviting local producers to join us.” Sam Favez owns R.E. Solar Systems in Barry’s Bay said he’ll be more involved once things get going but for now he’ll be putting in a ground-mount system at The House in Plevna. “There won’t be much opportunity for participation per se on this one but feel free to come and pick my brain,” he said.

Sam Fevez, aka Solar Sam, addresses the crowd at Clar-Mill Hall Sunday. Krystophe Gauthier gave a presentation on plastic recycling with his company New Life Creations — Precious Plastics. He said he has four machines, a shredder, an extruder, an injector and a compressor that will allow waste plastics to be reformed and repurposed. He also plans a permaculture operation to grow food and harvest seeds. David Craig finished up the presentations

with a talk on the earthship component of the project. Although it wasn’t part of the formal presentations, Dave and Pat Storms who property manage Frontenac Shores fractional ownership on Lake Mississagagon, said they’re exploring the possibility of an aquaculture operation on land they own near the cottages operation.

ny. They now require an up front payment instead of a share of proceeds. As well, at the ATV run, which starts and ends at the Lion’s Hall on Saturday July 7, breakfast will not be served, but Lion’s burgers will be available in the afternoon. Finally, the correct spelling of the Lion’s Club President’s name is Eric Maclean. Other than that, the article was more or less accurate. (JG)

In an article last week, (Vol. 18, no 15), on page 10 “Verona Lions replacing Jamboree with ATV Poker Run, there were several inaccuracies. The Jamboree did not become a burden to the club in recent years, as the article stated, nor did it lose money. It has in fact remained profitable.

Re - Johnston's Point

(The following was submitted to the News and to Frontenac County. It has been edited for space considerations. An article about the discussion at the county council table that the letter refers to can be found on page 14 of this edition) ear Warden Higgins and Frontenac County Councillors. Your response to the motion from South Frontenac Council concerning possible violations of the Conditions of Approval for the Johnson’s Point development ignored the motion’s request asking for an “investigation of a possible violation of the Conditions of Approval for the Johnson’s Point development”. As the mover the motion, that request was also the explicit intent of the motion. The motion did not ask Frontenac Council to re-write, or appeal, the Conditions of Approval, only to fulfill its obligation to ensure that the Conditions, enacted be the Ontario Municipal Board and supported by the County, are met for the development to proceed. For some reason the legal opinion cited in the motion passed by County Council, argued that it was not possible to change the Conditions of Approval, an issue unrelated to the motion. Rather than spend money on extraneous legal opinions it would be more useful to spend that money ensuring that serious concerns about the development are being investigated. The possible violation that the County was asked to investigate relates to Condition 6(iv) and 6(v) of the OMB ruling PL150246: iv…. all living trees greater than 4 inches diameter at breast height within 40 m of any water body shall not be removed, with the exception of trees knocked over naturally; v..… all vegetation, with the exception of invasive species, shall be retained and maintained in their natural state within 30 m of all water bodies; It is important to note that these condi-

tions go above and beyond the normal environmental conditions put in place by the Township and the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority. The stricter requirements are due the highly sensitive nature of this development in a Provincially Significant Wetland and a candidate Area of Natural and Scientific Interest. These tighter restrictions were agreed to by the developer, in part, because an extra lot, an increase from 14 lots to 15 lots, was agreed to by the Township and the County. The public can rightly be cynical of governing institutions when rules and regulations developed to protect a public good, like the environment, after much public consultation, are not adequately enforced. This may be the situation on Johnson’s Point. This is the concern that Frontenac County Council is being asked to address. I would like to ask you to reconsider your actions on Johnson’s Point and respond to the concerns in the motion from South Frontenac Council. It would also be respectful to include concerned members of the public in the investigation of alleged violations. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your further deliberations. Your sincerely, Ross Sutherland, South Frontenac Councillor, Loughborough District.

LETTERS exemplified today in government land claims policies. The book brings together documentary research and local voices to highlight the complex dilemmas faced by our Algonquin neighbours – “status” and “non-status” – in the Ottawa River watershed. Indigenous rights and the need for reconciliation have finally gained broad public attention, as they should. Locally, however, there has been very little news about the Algonquin land claim or about the

Algonquin communities in our area, both those involved in the claim and those who are not. Until a friend borrowed “Fractured Homeland” from the library in Plevna, I hadn’t even known there was a book about this complex and conflicted situation. But there is, and it is well worth reading. It will change and enrich all our conversations about living in this place and time. Helen Forsey

Keeping track of your blood pressure with a home blood pressure device is a good idea. To ensure an accurate reading, make sure the cuff size is the correct one for your arm. Also put the cuff on your bare arm not over clothing and keep the arm at heart level. rest for five minutes while seated in a chair with a back and refrain from talking while the device is taking your pressure. Try not to have a full bladder either because this can give a slightly higher pressure reading. Now that marijuana legalization is looming, there will be more emphasis on “drugged driving” than ever before. It’s a good time to remind everyone than ordinary prescription and over-thecounter drugs can also pose risks to safe driving. If you take certain antihistamines, muscle relaxants, sleeping pills and of course if you use marijuana….these all can affect driving ability. This is especially true in older persons. Check with your pharmacist if you’re con-cerned. The link between genetics and health is being studied on many diseases. For example, gene identification is being used in diabetes research to find genes specific to diabetes then design certain drugs that can target these defective genes, even in newborns. It’s an exciting field of research that may prevent the disease from even occurring in the future. And speaking of diabetes, many Canadians may have the disease and not know it. Some signs of diabetes include the following: significant increase in thirst; frequent urination, weight gain or loss; extreme fatigue and lacking in energy and blurred vision. If you feel any of these symptoms apply to you, see your doctor.

Keep our area beautiful, certain trash can be harmful to our wildlife too. • In keeping with the Pitch In Week, I’d like to give a Huge shoutout to our Sydenham & District Lions Club members who came out with 'helpers' for our Community Environment Earth Day event. Saturday April 21st 2018..... The roadside on Rutledge Rd west of Silverbrook's looks so much better already. They picked up 16 bags of garbage. • Fish On!!!

• This summer, main street in Verona will showcase the gardening skills of dozens of volunteer gardeners in the annual “Adopt-a-Barrel” flower growing competition. • The Verona Community Association (VCA) has provided over 30 flower barrels lining Main Street, located in front of businesses, private homes and public spaces. Each of these barrels will be “adopted” by individuals or groups who will apply their gardening skills while competing for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place cash prizes of $300, $200, $100 and two $50. • The participants will provide the plants, the tender loving care and the creative skill which they hope will impress the independent judging panel sometime in August. In the meantime, residents and visitors to Verona will have the opportunity to enjoy the floral displays all summer. Winners will be announced at the annual Garlic Festival, the first weekend in September. If you would like to adopt a barrel, please contact Tabitha at 613-929-5569.

3) The fee payment required by the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) in the amount of $300.00 payable to the Minister of Finance, Province of Ontario. EXPLANATORY NOTE TO BY-LAW NUMBER 0529/2018 PURPOSE OF THE BY-LAW: A rezoning application (ZBLA-KCC-2018) was received from the Kaladar Community Club to rezone a parcel of land legally described as Part of Lot 11, Concession 7, in the geographic Township of Kaladar and municipally described as 113047 Highway #7. The subject lands are the site of the Kaladar Community Centre. The proposal is to amend the zoning to permit a chip truck (mobile food truck) within the parking lot to the west of the community centre. It has been confirmed with the applicant that the loss of the parking spaces will not inhibit their ability to comply with the parking requirements of the by-law. The subject land is designated Hamlet in the Official Plan and is zoned Community Facility (CF). The Hamlet designation permits commercial uses which serve the residents of the hamlet and surrounding rural area. The CF Zone permits a number of uses but does not permit a chip truck (mobile food truck). The subject property would be rezoned to a sitespecific Community Facility (CF-2) Zone to permit the proposed use. EFFECT OF THE BY-LAW REQUEST: The Zoning By-law Amendment will allow a chip truck (mobile food truck) to operate on the subject property within the existing parking lot.

Questions raised about substations – CF Council April 24 D

istrict 4 resident Nicki Gowdy was at Central Frontenac’s regular Council meeting Tuesday in Sharbot Lake looking for some answers regarding the Piccadilly substation and the truck that’s stationed there. The truck (along with its counterpart in the Henderson substation) was taken out of service Feb. 26 but returned April 17 for medical responses only. “I’m not here to point any fingers or lay blame,” she said. “(But) many ideas and ‘facts’ have been circulating. That made me stop and think and question some of the validity of that information.” Gowdy said she did some research and found that the (Picadilly) truck and CET CAFS System was purchased in 2008/2008. “Mainly it was chosen with the idea that it could navigate the un-maintained cottage roads that other large emergency vehicles couldn’t,” she said. “Additional sets of heavy leaf springs were added and the current Council purchased a second truck last year.” Mayor Frances Smith agreed that there are some questions that need to be answered regarding the two substations and the trucks stationed there and directed the clerk to ask for a report from the fire chief. Coun. Brent Cameron asked that information on how to bring the current trucks up to operational standards if needed be part of the report. Auditor pleased KPMG auditor Vicki Leakey was glowing in her praise of the Township’s finances for 2017. “Again it was an unqualified clean audit report,” she said. Leakey singled out the Township’s handling of reserves for special praise. Trillium grant for trail Clerk Administrator Cathy MacMunn told Council that the Township has been successful in its application for a $55,000 Trillium Grant for work on the Thomson’s Cut portion of the K & P Trail through Sharbot Lake. “We have to do a presentation with MPPs present at some time but it will probably have to wait until after the (provincial) election,” she said. Winter maintenance under budget Treasurer Michael McGovern reported that in the first quarter of 2018 (January-March), the winter control budget costs were $75,000 lower than the same period last year. He also said that the Township has been awarded $13,440 more in student funding which will allow for eight summer students this year. Junior Firefighters Dep. Fire Chief Jamie Riddell told Council that the department is looking into adding a new category of junior firefighters adding programs for 14- and 15-year-olds given the interest they’ve received. “A number of students are interested in getting their volunteer hours as junior firefighters,” he said. The new BUSINESS CARD SIZE

positions would be classed as stage 1 junior firefighters and are purely voluntary. Junior firefighters 16- and 17years-old are classed as stage 2 junior firefighters are do receive compensation. Riddell also said that firefighters that reach 60 years of age will be classed as senior firefighters (excluding chiefs and deputy chiefs) which essentially means they won’t be allowed to enter burning buildings but will still have many valuable duties like driving vehicles.

he Country Church, an evening of gospel music, has moved to the Verona Pentecostal Assembly and made its debut there Friday night. Ross Clow and Old Hims (Dave Wright, Charlie King and Joe Saunders) opened the evening before bringing up the featured performers, Clear View. In some circles, Clear View may be better known as Arden’s Matson Family and they’ve been playing together for some 20 years in various incarnations. Patriarch Glen Matson said they got started at the Pentecostal Church in Kaladar and have played “dozens of concerts” over the years. “I sang in the church choir when I was that (holding his hand at his waist) big,” Matson said. “I still do.” On any one given night,

sons Derek (lead guitar) and Dwayne (bass), wife Betty (who was in Florida on this evening), Andrew, Dera-Lynn, Cay-Leigh,

Cindy, and/or Chase (“who plays mandolin or whatever we give him) join together whether at home in the kitchen or on stage some-

Clear View, aka the Matson Family, at the Verona Pentecostal Assembly

where to present a family oriented gospel evening. “We sing gospel songs for the Lord and we sing at home for fun,” Matson said. “We do a lot of things together. “One of my favourites to do is How Great Thou Art but Derek’s written at least 20 songs and sometimes we do those. “We have a bunch of songs we sing.” He said they view their performing as “more of a ministry” as they hope people will find inspiration in their music. And judging from the audience reaction Friday night, the 110 people or so in the audience did just that.

Holiday Country Manor – year three of a journey W

hen Core Lee and Jeff Day purchased the Holiday Country Manor in 2016 they knew they were in for an adventure. They had purchased a business that had been focused mainly on fishing tourism for many years in a historic building that was solidly built but certainly needed some freshening up. They also took over on Canada Day weekend, and had no bookings. “We were sitting out front on Canada Day weekend, having drinks, with no one in the hotel, just having bought the Inn, and we thought, this is not good,” recalls Jeff Day. As they now approach their third summer, they have a better idea of the kind of business the Country Manor has become, and where it is going. They are putting a newer youthful spin on an older property (1840’s manor). They have been doing intermittent renovations, working around the busy seasons by taking on different spaces. They have also made changes to the Core Lee and Jeff Day food they offer and the niche they serve. vealed the stone exterior walls as part of The dining room is open from Thursdays to their renovations, another nod to the charSundays, the lounge and patio that is open acter of the building. for special occasions, and the Manor is The commercial kitchen, where Core, an available for all kinds of events.

the character of the rooms remains steeped in it’s historic past as a manor home. One by one the rooms are being upgraded, the furniture refinished, and each room given some of its own character. Modern marketing tools have helped attract more overnight visitors, and the proximity to Kingston and its tourist market has been a benefit. “We have done very well with bookings online. Our prices make us attractive to visitors to Kingston who are looking for something different, and when they come here we are able to show off what this region has to offer,” said Jeff. And there is a lot to offer in terms of hiking opportunities, fishing and boating on Loughborough Lake (the hotel also has docking facilities and boats) and is close to Frontenac Park and other attractions. The visitor experience is important to

Core and Jeff. The Nature Conservancy of Canada has been very active on Loughborough Lake and the Battersea area and they have developed trails that abut the Manor. “We are also doing some research and looking at putting up historic plaques to give visitors a sense of the history around the property ,” said Core. As they prepare for the start of the summer season, the Country Manor will also be holding a Wine and Dine with your spirits event on May 3, and the Mother’s Day brunch buffet on May 13. On May 19th, the summer season kicks off with the unveiling of he new summer menu (look for corn fritters and the Manor’s take on Short Ribs) which will be a major change from last year. “The three course dinner that we served last year was too formal. This year the menu is more casual with an a-la carte menu featuring some exciting hand crafted apps and some sharing platters,” Core said. The Manor is open for breakfast year round from 7-11am Thursday to Sunday. The lounge is open from Thursday to Saturday from 5-9pm, with live music on Thursdays during the summer, with Perth Brewery beer on tap and a selection of domestic and imported beers and spirits. The ice cream parlour will be open as well during sunny afternoons and evenings. And for those who live on Loughbroough Lake, they offer guest boat parking at their dock. This summer, when Canada Day weekend rolls around, they will be busy serving and entertaining guests, Jeff the ever attentive host and Core running the kitchen, both aided by a solid staff team. There will be little time to relax the way they did on that first Canada Day at the Manor, and they seem to like it that way.

History of logging in Mazinaw area comes alive with historical society talk by Craig Bakay

istorical author Steven Manders (The First Spike) is pretty sure he can set to rest claims that the Gilmour Tramway was built in the 1850s. Speaking to the Cloyne and District Historical Society Monday afternoon, Manders said: “I’ve found the original handwritten deed,” he said. “David Gilmour bought five acres of land for $45 from David Weese on April 17, 1882. “Gilmour couldn’t have built the tramway on land he didn’t own at the time.” From there, Manders went on to spin a fascinating tale of lumber wars in late 19th Century southern Ontario. Manders has spent considerable time in the bush with a metal detector, ferreting out the paths of ‘ghost railways’ from the past including the K & P. Along the way, he’s found a number of interesting things, including evidence of the Gilmour Tramway, which allowed pine logs from around Lake Mazinaw and area to find their way to Gilmour’s huge sawmill in Trenton, “The Gilmour Mill could process a million board-feet of lumber per day,” Manders said. “That’s a huge capacity, even by today’s standards. “It was the biggest sawmill in Canada but the problem was

getting logs.” Now, according to Manders, the Gilmours and others had already cleaned out most of the lumber available along the Moira and Trent River systems when they started to eye the trees in this area. However, there was a problem in that there was no connected water system that could get the logs into the Moira River to be sent down to Belleville and eventually Trenton. That’s when they came up the tramway and ‘jackladder’ system which would allow them to move logs up some 80 to 90 feet in elevation and 1.7 kilometres through the bush and eventually into the Skootamatta River which connects

to the Moira. Manders has found pieces of flywheel, steel strapping (which would have been placed on the wooden tramway), chain, various pieces for securing logs and draught horse gear which has been buried for decades while gradually piecing together the story. “That’s the nice about the Canadian Shield,” he said. “You can still find things here whereas in western Ontario, things have been built over.” Manders’ display, including a model of the tramway, will be on permanent display at the Cloyne Pioneer Museum & Archives, which opens June 23 with a barbecue.

NAEC Alumni Return for Grad Fundraising Tournament by Becky Kavanaugh

hey came from as far away as Toronto, Ottawa, Cannington and KIngston to support North Addington Education Centre’s graduation fundraiser. The Vikings Volleyball Tournament has been running since 2014, some think maybe longer. What most people don’t realize is that many of the COSSA and OFFSA banners that hang from the rafters are there because of the competitors they are watching. Alison Cote, class of‘91, heard about the tournament and called her brother, Adam Wise whose picture hangs in the front hall with other former school presidents. Randy Garey, from Adam’s class of ‘93 agreed to form a team. They threatened to share juicy stories from the old days, with smiles on their faces. Their team, “The Notori-

ous D.I.G.,” a play on the name of the famous rapper, helped win an OFFSA title in 1999. Roy Nussberger, Sonya Robinson and Perry McLuckie teased one another about their aging team. Daryl Tryon tells us he is one of the smart ones that realizes it takes too long to recover and cheered his former teammates on from the sidelines. High school sweethearts Chelsea and Brad Robson and Amanda and Riley Mousseau, now married, joined in as they watched their children play in the stands. The Class of 2018, a new generation of Vikings, were also vying for the tournament title. Rebecca Dunphy, an alumni and now a NAEC teacher, helped the grads run the tournament. Many others with ties to the school were there for a fun day.

Bowers, Silvia Colleen

Notice of Date Change of the Celebration of Life for

April 20, 1941 - April 27, 2017 To my dear sister, whom I loved so dearly, I wrote this poem. Dad saw her coming, Gradma made some tea, Others stood by waving, As far as one could see. To see those crimson reds, You could hear the trumpets, they would wake any sleepy heads. On to see the robes of Glory, None brighter ever shone, Helped by the Master, as Sylvia slips one on. Nomore pain and suffering, a smile upon her face, for hear a special mansion, with Jasper at its base. No more darkness only light, such brilliance all around, Cast by the saviour, no need for lights is found. Then the choir of Heavenly Hosts, Rejoicing in the skies, We’ve added yet another, the joy that in their eyes. Countless years preparing, All the streets are solid gold; Grasses glow like silver, and no such thing as growing old. Always remembered, Dennis Foeller

Johnston’s Point: a case study in shoreline development in Frontenac County

t a meeting of Frontenac County Council last week (Wednesday, April 18), South Frontenac Mayor Ron Vandewal expressed his frustration at expectations that politicians should take a stand on planning matters, particularly in the case of the longdelayed and contentious Johnston Point plan of condominium. He made it clear that neither his township, nor Frontenac County, have the expertise to decide whether developers are in compliance with conditions set out in the draft planning approvals for the development. “We, as municipalities depend on MNR-F [Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry] the CRCA [Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority], and the health unit. We look to their reports. Anybody can say what is done and what isn’t being done, but we have to depend on those agencies,” he said. Sarah Harmer, of nearby Elginburgh, accompanied by Loughborough Lake resident Meela Melnick-Proud, had just presented Council with what they asserted was evidence of a breach of Condition 5a of the draft approval for a plan of vacant land condominium which is slated to create 15 building lots at Johnston’s Point on Loughborough Lake. The evidence came in the form of photos and a video of some brush free land adjacent to the shore of the Lake. The draft approval, which was contained in a ruling by the Ontario Municipal Board, includes 50 conditions, which must be met before the plan receives final approval and the lots can be sold. Condition 5a includes the following: the “agreement applying to all the waterfront units shall set out the munici-

by Jeff Green

pality’s environmental protection policies requiring that the area within 30 metres of the high water mark of a waterbody or wetland shall be maintained in a natural state for soil and vegetation.” County planner Joe Gallivan said that after receiving a letter from Harmer and Melnick-Proud that contained the photos and other information, he visited the site along with Andrew Schmidt, from the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority, on April 10th. In his verbal report to Council, Gallivan said that while be saw that a number of dead trees had been felled within a 30 metre buffer zone around the shoreline, as well as some limbs off living trees, he felt the shoreline had not been cleared of vegetation, but he also said that he is a planner, and is not qualified to do environmental assessments. Gallivan also read out a section from an email that he had received on April 17th from Schmidt. In it, Schmidt made two comments about the 30 metre buffer zone around the shoreline. His first comment appears to contradict what Ron Vandewal said. Referring to condition 5a of the draft ruling by the OMB, Schmidt wrote “ the principles of the draft plan of approval are contained in a letter of agreement between the development of the property and the principal approval authority (in this case Frontenac County). The CRCA has no regulatory jurisdiction over draft plans of approval. Compliance with terms of the agreement rests with the Principal Approval Authority”.

Later in his email, Schmidt did comment on what he found at the shoreline, this time in reference to the CRCA’s role in ensuring that development does not “interfere with the hydrological functioning of wetlands” within 30 metres of the shoreline. “ CRCA staff did not observe evidence of any activity that would interfere with the hydrological function of the wetland during the site inspection of April 10, 2018,” he wrote. “I’m a little confused, the citizens are saying there has been clearing, CRCA says no, in the absence of seeing it I take the citizens at their word,” said Councillor John Inglis from North Frontenac. “We do not have a role here,” said Frontenac County Chief Administrative Officer Kelly Pender. “We are not a police agency. If they clear cut that property tomorrow, there is nothing we can do. Our job is at the end of the process to determine if they have met the conditions. If the shoreline is disturbed, then the developer will not be able to fulfill those conditions and the plan will not go through. That is when we have a role, not before.” Melnick-Proud and Harmer also expressed the concern that some of the predevelopment work being done on the property is harming the habitat for some species at risk that have been identified on the site (whip-poor-wils, black rat snakes, blandings turtles and a species of bat). These species are subject of a process between the developer and the MNR-F. “Everything that comes to us, including this presentation, we forwarded to the MNR-F, so they will see it and they can

evaluate it,” said Joe Gallivan. While final approval of the plan of vacant land condominium is still pending and will remain so for some time, the 15 lots have been on the market and a number of them have been marked as sold on a real estate website. Of those that remain listed, the price ranges from $240,000 for lots that do not have water frontage, to $350,000. and as much as $469,000 for waterfront lots. Johnston’s Point is located off of North Shore Lane in Storrington District. (source – Boneliving.com)

Central Frontenac - continued from 9 people in their 60s who are better shape than many in their 50s.” Heritage Festival raises 10 grand Mike Procter of the Frontenac Heritage Committee told Council that the 2018 edition was another successful Festival, raising $9,890 for charities and non-profit organizations, putting a few dollars into local businesses that wouldn’t be there otherwise as well as giving residents something to do in February. However, Procter said the Festival Committee is in need of volunteers, in particular a chair and someone to oversee the talent show as Rob Moore won’t be available. “The first meeting is in October and there’s one each month until February so let me know if you want to volunteer,” he said.

• My word-we’re at last enjoying spring. Special tip of the hat to our rural mail drivers and our snow removal people, and the first responders who were called out plenty of times during the storm. • The 2018 moose validation tag quotas, guaranteed group sizes and moose draw hunt codes are now available online. • Special thinking of you to Angie Deline who had emergency surgery this past week. Angie is on the mend and appreciates all the messages & support from “home”. • Trappers Day was a big hit on Sunday at the Barrie Hall featuring a demonstration of trapping, skinning, cross cut saw contest, fisher boil, frying pan toss, displays and a draw. So glad it could be re-scheduled after the big storm the week before. • 39 Seniors, some from our area, travelled to the Brockville Aquatarium on a bus tour by the Rural Frontenac Community Service whom we really appreciate. What a great adventure.

As I do my morning run about 6:15 am…..it is still a bit cool but the sun feels warm, birds are a full choir these days and mitts and hat are off in the first 15 minutes. • Good time to remind drivers to beware as young folk, an old, are out walking, running and on bikes. I checked the boat ramp on Loughborough Lake, the dock is not in yet. Boats are though! Watched two fishermen put in their boat with some difficulty but no one had a swim. • Remember if you have an event happening just give me a call or an e-mail and I will be happy to spread the word. With spring here and Summer coming soon I am sure there will be an increase in activities around the area. • Bob’s Breakfast at Inverary United Church is coming up on Saturday May 5th, serving breakfast from 7:30-10am. • Turkey Hunters – still time to sign up for the Northway

Setting for Marty

by Craig Bakay

ollecting e-waste turned out to be such a good idea last year, the Parents Council at Prince Charles Public School decided to try it again last Saturday in Verona. By 11 a.m., the bin was about half full and growing steadily. “Chair Ali Williamson organized in partnership with KIMCO,” said Tab Morton. “It’s a fundraiser for the school and although it doesn’t bring in huge amounts of money, it does help, and out here, it’s a service that’s not really available. “People like it and it’s convenient for the community.”

It’s a simple idea, KIMCO provides a container to which people bring their old computers, monitors, TVs, stereos and such for recycling, which KIMCO then picks up. “It brings the community and the school together,” Morton said. “I like it. “I live just up the street and it means I don’t have to go into the city and figure out where I am to recycle things.” There was a wide variety of electronics being recycled Saturday. However, something to remember for next year — they don’t take coffee makers or blenders. Bob Teal shows that classic setter form in Saturday’s fundraiser volleyball tournament At GREC for Marty Cowdy, who is battling Leukenia. See full story at Frontenacnews.ca
