Loughborough Councillor Mark Schjerning to challenge incumbent Ron Vandewal

South Frontenac Mayor’s race is on

s voting day in the Provincial election comes and goes, the second election of 2018 is just starting to round into view. The municipal vote takes place in October. Nominations opened on May 1st and will close at the end of July. In order to run for either Mayor or for member of Council, 25 signatures from people eligible to vote in the township where the nominee is running need to accompany the application, along with $100 for council member and $200 for head of council (Mayor or Reeve). Most of the candidates who have come forward thus far are seeking re-election in the same position they already hold, but in South Frontenac there is a notable exception.

Mark Schjerning Mark Schjerning, one of two Loughborough District councillors who are finishing up their first terms on council, along with Ross Sutherland, is attempting to replace Mayor Ron Vandewal and become the 5th Mayor in the 20 year history of South Frontenac Township. Schjerning spends his days in the municipal world as well. He works out of Napanee as the Chief of Emergency Services and a member of the senior management team for the County of Lennox and Addington. He is also the President of the Sydenham Lake Association, and is involved with South Frontenac Scouts. In seeking the Mayor’s job, Schjerning effectively guarantees a change in the makeup of South Frontenac Council. If he wins there will be a new Mayor, and whether he wins or loses, there will be at least one new councillor for Lough-

borough District. As of Tuesday of this week, in addition to the two candidates for Mayor, both incumbents in Bedford District, Pat Barr and Alan Revill, are seeking re-election. In Loughborough, incumbent Ross Sutherland is the only candidate thus far, and similarly in Storrington only incumbent Norm Roberts has filed his paper work. Just this afternoon, at 4:25, Portland District incumbent Brad Barbeau, who was appointed to council upon the death of Councillor Bill Robinson, has filed his nomination papers. There will be a contested election in Portland because Ray Leonard and Doug Morey also filed their papers at the end of May. Suzanne Ruttan is seeking re-election as Limestone School Board Trustee, and Leslie Ford is seeking the trustee position in the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic School Board. In other townships the candidates lists are filling up, slowly. In Central Frontenac, Mayor Frances Smith is seeking re-election, as is Councillor Tom Dewey in Kennebec (ward1). Victor Heese is seeking re-election in Olden (ward 2), as is Bill Macdonald in Oso (Ward 3). In Hinchinbrooke, (ward 4) Philip Smith is running again, and Nicki Gowdy is a rookie candidate, but she is not a total stranger to Central Frontenac politics. Her uncle, Bill Snyder, was a very long serving member of council who died while still in office. Finally, Karen McGregor is seeking re-election to the Limestone District School Board. In North Frontenac, Mayor Higgins is seeking re-election, as is Councillor Gerry Martin in Ward 2 (Clar-Mil) and Fred Perry in Ward 1 (Barrie). There will be a showdown for Reeve in Tay Valley, as former Deputy Reeve Susan Freeman is running for Reeve, as is incumbent Keith Kerr. Barry Crampton is running for Deputy Reeve, Fred Dobbie and Wayne Jordan are running in Bathurst Ward, and Mark Burnham and Rob Rainer in Sherbrooke. In Addington Highlands, Reeve Hogg is running for re-election. Finally, Mayor Dennis Doyle of Frontenac Islands has decided to run again, and Bruce Higgs is running on Howe Island.

North Frontenac exploring bricks and mortar seniors housing options by Craig Bakay hile there’s nothing concrete on the table yet, North Frontenac Council certainly has some interesting concepts to look at when it comes to seniors housing, many of which came to light at its regular meeting last Friday in Plevna. The speculative discussion stemmed from Frontenac County Council’s decision that funds available for seniors housing must be used for bricks and mortar solutions rather than North Frontenac’s stated preference to use the money to assist aging-at-home initiatives. “We need to do something this term of Council,” said Coun. John Inglis. “We don’t have to start a building.” “Why not buy a large house and renovate that into seniors apartments?” suggested Coun. Gerry Martin. “There’s a motel in Ompah,” said Coun. Denis Bedard. “That wouldn’t be far for John (Inglis) to go.” CAO Cheryl Robson pointed out that with the impending fall election, Council could face a lame duck situation whereby it couldn’t buy property. Mayor Ron Higgins relayed a message from Dep. Mayor Fred Perry (who is recovering from knee surgery) that the Township already owns property in Cloyne where the tennis courts and ball diamonds are. “We could close a ball diamond,” he said. Still not everybody was necessarily in favour. “If we go to bricks and mortar, there’s no guarantee that it will be filled with our residents,” said

Coun. Vernon Hermer. Council decided a committee of Higgins, Inglis and Hermer would explore options and report back to Council. Bert Kent on cleanliness, and septics Resident Bert Kent got himself on the agenda to address an issue he believes the Township got all wrong — septic maintenance. “I’m very disappointed in the brochure (Septic Smart) put out,” Kent said. “When septic systems were first designed, people took baths once a week whether they needed them or not.” Kent said septic systems use bacteria to break down solids and what’s going into systems now, including hand sanitizers, are killing the useful bacteria. Furthermore, the amount of water going through them also cleans out the bacteria without breaking down solids, he said. Mayor Ron Higgins agreed to work with Kent to perhaps provide additional information to the brochure. Fire Master Plan Fire Chief Eric Korhonen presented Council with the 2018 Fire Master Plan, which is available on the Township website. “There are no financial impacts on the 2018 budget in this plan,” he said. Black flies, little black flies North Frontenac is looking at creating its own flag, to which Coun. Vernon Hermer quipped: “what would you put on it — a black fly?”

Fairmount Home gets a facelift, brand-wise

hen Jon Allison Design and Avenue Strategy came to Frontenac County Council a couple of years back to present the new brand identity for Frontenac County, the got a pretty rough ride. Some members of council did not think the Fir trees in the design were representa-

Logo - alternate version tive, and the overall sense at the meeting was that the design was empty. Allison explained that it needed to be ‘empty’ in a sense so that it was both versatile and able to grow

into its meaning through its application in the community. The vote to accept it was closer than anyone expected, but it did get accepted, which was a relief for c ounty staff because some giant banners were waiting at the back of the hall to be unfurled and a branded county Smart Car was sitting in the parking lot outside the meeting hall. The InFrontenac brand has been a success, so much so that there was little drama when the two companies returned to Frontenac County Council last month with the brand identity for the county owned long term care facility, Fairmount Home. The only question about the branding initiative for Fairmount had been raised at an earlier meeting, when Council was informed the

brand was almost ready, and it was about the necessity of re-branding a long term care facility that had a very good reputation in the field and a long waiting list. Lisa Hirvi, Fairmount Home Administrator, said that the brand initiative was not so much about marketing Fairmout as it was about encapsulating the gentle care philosophy that is part of the culture of the home in an image. She said it was as much about staff morale as it was about public perception. And it had to not be ‘corporate’ The new brand came about after a series of focus group meetings were held to pinpoint the core values of Fairmount. The identified values were then associated with simple images. The core

message is that Fairmount is a home, not a facility. The concept of caring is identified with a heart shaped image, the concept that the homes residents are unique individuals by a thumbprint, the concept of community and inclusion by overlapping circles, and gentlecare by a butterfly. The final drawing, at first glance, is non-descript,

just two offset spheres, but when combined with text, or altered with colour schemes and other features, it was clear, at least to members of Frontenac County Council who had the experience of the way Infrontenac brand has worked its way into the public imagination, that it will be a success. There was no dissent on

Fairmount logo council, and the new brand will be rolled out over the next few months, finding its way onto stationary, crests, even the front desk of Fairmount Home.

Public Health overview for Addington Highlands Council by Craig Bakay n light of new regulations coming into effect July 1 (ie Ontario Public Health Standards), Andrew Girouard, Gord Mitchell and local inspector Leanne Addicott of the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington Public Health Unit were at Addington Highlands regular Council meeting Tuesday afternoon to give Council an overview of what services they provide. “In my 12 years (prior) I had seen only one new regulation,” said Girouard. He said there are about 30 food service premises in Addington Highlands ranging from small operations to

full-fledged restaurants. Of local interest, he said there will be an online food handler course with plans to make an online exam available in the near future. “This will make it easier for residents, like those in Denbigh to take the course as they won’t have to travel to Kingston for it,” he said. “Right now, they’ll still have to travel to take the exam but eventually an online option for that should be available.” He said that the Cloyne office accepts drinking water samples from residents for testing. He said they also handled 12 animal bite cases and they are in the process of

believe the answer to the high cost of fireworks on Canada Day is quite simple. Now is the time for Harrowsmith to come together with Verona and Sydenham and alternate years to create one spectacular display. If the financial responsibility is too great for our hamlet on its own, share the burden. Times are changing and we need to be flexible in our thinking. The other programs pro-

vided by the S&A club are too essential to risk dollars on 15 minutes of fireworks.

Frontenac officials. The result reflects just another example of remote, arbitrary political interference in local decisionmaking where officials from relatively afar substitute their judgment (often really just uninformed or misinformed opinion) for the judgment and desires of locally elected officials.

posed kitchen renovation project at the Community Centre in Denbigh. “We got zero tenders for the job,” he said. “Option one would be to do nothing but we don’t want to do that. “Option two would be to re-advertise but it’s a bad time of year as all the contractors are really busy and Option three would be to do it ourselves somehow.” Fritsch said they expanded the advertising area for this project by “a considerable margin” but still no takers. “Do you have a feel for why we didn’t get any quotes?” asked Coun. Bill Cox.

“Because of where it is,” said Fritsch. “Location.” Fritsch said a commercial kitchen is a specialized job that would come in above $100,000. Going it alone would mean the Township would have to pay for everything. One of the reasons they’ve been asking for tenders is that there is Trillium funding available for such projects but they require three quotes and the low quote gets the job. Picnic, anyone Council approved two new picnic tables for the Kaladar community centre at a cost of $200 each and two for the community centre in Flinton as well.

Each year at the beginning of June, I always put a sunscreen comment in the column. People need reminding of the importance of sunscreens in the prevention of skin cancers. I mentioned the passing last year of CBC’s Stuart Maclean in a previous column. His death due to melanoma may motivate Canadians to use sunscreens more often this year. Many of us are sloppy when it comes to applying sunscreens. I’m one of them and I’m a redhead! (Well a little lighter in colour than before!). People need to be reminded of applying sunscreens 15-30 minutes before going out in the sun, applying sufficient amount…..about a handful for the whole body exposed….and reapplying after sweating or swimming. There is usually no expiry date on sunscreens but if they are more than three years old they should be tossed. As I write this in the middle of February, the availability of the EpiPen is just starting to come back. After being unavailable from Pfizer for many months, I’m hoping that by the time this column is released in June, things will be back to normal. Gwyneth Paltrow is the most popular disseminator of potentially dangerous products through her website “Goop”. This coffee enema is just one of the crazy ideas she has come up with although the concept has been around for decades. There is even a device designed to administer coffee enemas “as a clean way to do coffee enemas”. (It’s called the Implant-ORama in case you’re interested). Any persons with scientific training have dismissed this idea as pseudoscience and have said it can even do damage to the bowel. There are other ideas she has proposed. “Vaginal steaming”, jade eggs in the vagina to cultivate sexual energy”. Even without any endorsement from the scientific community, products like these are still finding a fertile market. Marketers are quite clever in their method of promotion using words like energize, detoxify and revitalize without making any claim of curing or ameliorating any disease. As one gynecologist/obstetrician in San Francisco said about the coffee enemas: “Keep the coffee out of your rectum and in your cup”! Even the ancient Egyptians used natural antiperspirants. Evidently alum crystals have been found in the tombs of the pharaohs. The aluminum salts, like aluminum chlorohydrate found in today’s antiperspirants are much more efficient. I remember making up a solution of aluminum chloride for a fellow who wanted something “really strong” because nothing else worked for him. I don’t recall his coming back for more so perhaps the skin irritation of the product may have discouraged him.

He shall also be signing his book, which he authored about Railways in Eastern Ontario, "The First Spike". Come out and see our latest model exhibits of the Mazinaw-Pringle Tramway. All are welcome to kick off the summer with this always fun-filled get- together.

• Last Saturday, the Ompah Hall was busy with Fire Extinguisher Day and the Plant or Seed Sale/Swap. Quite a few folks brought their fire extinguishers in to be checked and those who wished, got to actually use a fire extinguisher. Folks who came to buy plants or seeds happily went home with many treasures. Those who brought plants to sell or give away went home with many fewer plants than they came with. A win-win-win for everyone involved. • Here are a couple of up-coming events to prepare for. The Canada Day Cold Plate dinner will take place on Sat. June 30 from 5-7pm. Cost is $15 but children under 12 cost $5. Also on June 30, the Canada Day Firefighter Fireworks will take place at dark at the Marina. • Notes about weather and local insects: Surely this must be the height of tent caterpillar season. I’ve been squashing some and spraying others with soapy water but I’m not sure I have enough soap to do the job. Thankfully the dragonflies have hatched out in droves and are busy gobbling the blackflies. Go dragonflies. The rain on Sunday was very welcome. The garden is happy.

Lake representatives gather for Lake Planning Seminar by Craig Bakay nder the initiative of the Canonto Lake Property Owners Association and the Township of North Frontenac, representatives of a dozen or so area lakes met at ClarMill Hall last Saturday for a Lake Planning seminar. “Lake plans do not hold any regulatory status,” said Alyson Symon of Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority.

“But policy is that planning authorities do look at development impact on a broad scale and in Provincial Policy Statements, lake plans are a resource you can use to form official plans.” Common issues considered include water levels, boating practices and impacts, development and redevelopment, she said.

“Often, a lot of anecdotal information comes up,” she said. “It’s good to have a concrete document to bring up. “But all lake plans are different and the level of detail is up to individual lake associations.” She said perhaps the most valuable take-away from going through the lake plan exercise is “community engagement and connections. “Process is as important as the end product.” They can also be useful when leveraging funding for projects, she said. She said there are only six lakes with plans within the MVCA watershed. Frontenac County community planner Megan Rueckwald said lake plans are a valuable resource when constructing things like municipal official plans. She said that the North Frontenac Official Plan takes a collaborative approach to waterfront area policy which contains the wording “shall have regard for” lake plans. One member of the audience said he thought “shall have regard for” wasn’t strong enough wording. North Frontenac Coun. John Inglis replied that “from my point of view, it’s very strong wording. Rueckwald said there are three levels of wording — shall have regard for, shall be consistent with and shall conform to— and any stronger wording “may be in conflict with the Provincial Policy Statement.”

Alyson Symon of Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority spoke on the importance of lake planning.

r. Ernest Lapchinski spent 28 years on Lake Mississagagon during which time he was an active participant in the Friends of Bon Echo, the Cloyne and District Historical Society and Pine Meadow Nursing Home. Even though he’s sold the cottage

Public Notice Seeking Interested Individuals for a Joint Compliance Audit Committee The Township of Addington Highlands, Township of Stone Mills, Loyalist Township and the Town of Greater Napanee are currently recruiting experienced professionals for appointment to their 2018-2022 Municipal Elections Joint Compliance Audit Committee (JCAC). The JCAC is required by the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 as amended, to consider applications requesting audits of both candidate and registered 3rd party advertisers’ campaign finances. The JCAC may be required to appoint auditors and determine if legal proceedings are required as a result of an auditor’s report. Applicants should: (i) have an understanding of municipal campaign finance provisions; (ii) demonstrate analytical decision-making and excellent communication skills; (iii) have experience working with or as a member of a municipal committee, board, task force and/or a quasi-judicial body; and (iv) have flexibility to attend day time and evening meetings. Applicants with a background in accounting, auditing, law, election administration, and/or public administration are preferred.

and with things like insulated concrete floors and radiant heating, there could be 18 inspections required for a large modern home,” Merriman said. “Fees were very complicated. “We need to change the bylaw to reflect what’s in the (building) code.” At the same time, the new bylaw will recognize that the fees for building a deck shouldn’t be the same as for a 1,500 square foot house, he said. “There will be a minimum charge of $80, whereas it used to cost $180 for a deck,” he said. “That seemed a bit high.” In many cases, the fee will be much higher than $80 but while the $80 has to be paid up front, it will be deducted from the final bill, he said. Merriman said that more than 50 per cent of permits will decrease. He said that in the past, there was no recognition of unique projects and no encouragement to report small projects. “Yurts have been around for thousands of years but they’re completely different than a 1,500 square foot house with radiant heating and a two-car garage,” he said. Coun. John Inglis asked how cost would

Brown said safety is a large part of every officer’s training, adding that sometimes if the public sees a speeding police car, but does not know where the car is going, or why, they phone in a complaint. She said every such call is taken seriously and addressed. If, indeed, the officer had no need to be speeding, this can become “a learning experience.” The bottom line is accountability. Councillor Barbeau thanked her for her presentation, saying that he had had several residents tell him they felt that recently the police have been driving more carefully. Bellrock Community Hall Terry Sauve of the Bellrock Community Hall Committee spoke to the Committee’s request to become a committee of Council, in order to be covered by the Township’s liability insurance. The hall became a community property after it closed as a school, and is very much a community hub. Over the years through fundraising and grants, the village has upgraded the hall to make it fully accessible, improved the kitchen, stage and bathroom facilities, and generally preserved the property in good condition. Council seemed to support the request, which will come before Council at a later meeting for approval. Harris Hall, Perth Road Council passed a motion to provide the Perth Road Crafters with a key to Harris Hall, as they do the routine cleaning of the hall, until the Township has adopted a Township-wide policy for the scheduling

WOLFE ISLAND GARDEN PARTY 7pm. A weekend

by Wilma Kenny and maintenance of Township recreational facilities. Zoning Amendments Planner Mills recommended against special zoning for a small (.6 acre) lot in Bedford (Concession VII, part lot 6), on the grounds that it was unsuitable for development because of wetness. A final decision was withheld until Deputy Mayor Revill and Councillor Barr can view the property. Johnston Point In August 2016 the OMB approved a draft plan of condominium agreement for the proposed Johnston Point residential development. One of the conditions for final approval was that the owner enter into a condominium agreement with the municipality. This would give the Township the authority to enforce the stipulated conditions. Traffic Calming Measure The Township currently has three temporary speed humps. Public Works Manager Segsworth proposed a set of criteria for deployment of these in the non-winter months: • No arterial, gravel or dead-end roads • 50% of vehicles exceed the posted speed by 10km/hr • Minimum 200 m from intersection • Subject to availability and budget (they cost approx $2,000.) Council asked that the 200 m from intersection be removed, for it would preclude using the humps in villages. Interim Planning Services Planner Lindsay Mills is retiring at the end of June, and the township has been unsuccessful in finding a replacement: of six applicants, only one seemed to meet requirements, and that one withdrew when

approached for an interview. Accordingly, Council agreed to engage the County of Frontenac for interim Planning Services (the County’s rates are much better than those of independent consulting firms.) The township will use a recruitment agency to seek both Planner and Director. Fees will be offset by year-to-date savings from the Director position. Storrington/Glendower Update Council reallocated $25,000 from the Storrington Centre Renovations project budget to the Glendower Accessible Entrance budget. Storrington is coming in well under budget, while the Glendower project has risen to a total of $91,742, from an initially budgeted $40,000. Not a Truck? The Fire Chief’s 4-year-old crew cab truck has 275,000 km on it and is showing signs of wear and tear, so is budgeted for replacement this year. Fire Chief Darcy Knott has requested that it be replaced by a small to mid-sized (red) SUV 4x4 with off road capability. This type of vehicle will be more fuel efficient and should last longer, given the shift of the Chief’s role to a more administrative function. Council wasted no time approving the change, and Mayor Vandewal complimented Chief Knott for ‘thinking outside the box.” This will be the Township’s first vehicle that is not a truck

Naturalists to Count Plant and Animal Species at BioBlitz (June 15-16) The Kingston Field Naturalists will hold their 20th annual BioBlitz to count plant, animal and other species as a measure of the biodiversity of a local area in June. The event is open to the public and is to be held at the Helen Quilliam Sanctuary of the Kingston Field Naturalists north of Sydenham. Natural history specialists, amateurs and members of the public will identify and record as many plant and animal species as possible over a 24 hour period. The idea is

to set a baseline of the biodiversity for the area. A BioBlitz is a community based initiative linking science, education and public participation. It is a fun and free event. There will be guided walks to learn about a variety of organisms throughout the period. This event fulfills the mandate of the Kingston Field Naturalists to stimulate public interest in nature and to acquire and provide knowledge of natural history.

Saving turtles if you can

ll eight of Ontario’s turtles are now on the verge of becoming extinct, with many of them dying while crossing our highways. Turtles can often survive run-ins with cars, according to the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre (OTCC). Appearing dead, turtles can actually still be alive. Many injured turtles are females. If a female turtle is hit by a car and can’t be saved, staff at the OTCC can remove her eggs and help them hatch. OTCC staff incubates about 2,000 eggs per year, releasing the hatchlings back into the wet-

lands near where the mother was found. The OTCC has advice for members of the public about how to handle an injured turtle. “When moving an injured turtle off the road, carefully place it on the floor in the backseat of your car. The turtle can then be place in a vented box in a dark location while transport is being arranged. Call the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre at 705-741-5000 to let them know you have an injured turtle. They will assist you in arranging its transport.

Inverary’s New Community Gardens W

hen KFLA Health Unit’s Healthy Kids Community Challenge met Christine Lavallee’s dream of a community garden, things really began to happen. On one of the hottest days of last week, teacher Jason Quenneville’s class descended on Inverary with safety glasses and power tools, to spend a day assembling six big frames for accessible raised gardens. These will be located in a sunny field just south of the village, adjacent to Lavallee’s kitchen and store, The Cookery. Usually, community gardens are plots of land parcelled out to individuals, but Lavallee’s plan is much more communal and inclusive: many parts of the community have come together, drawn by her vision

and enthusiasm. She and Cyndi Jones of KFLA Public Health list some of the partners in this project: South Frontenac Township, KFLA Health Unit, the School Board Office, the local 4-H club gardening club, Southern Frontenac Community Services, and many local volunteers. Donations of seeds and plants are arriving and by the time you read this, the gardens will have been planted. Who’s going to tend the gardens, and who gets the produce? “Anyone who wants fresh vegetables will be welcome to help themselves, no questions asked,” says Christine; “We just ask that they lend a hand with a bit of weeding or watering.” The Cookery’s chef, Ky

Rundle, will teach young people how to cook vegetables they may not be familiar with. Excess vegetables will be canned or stored for winter and distributed through the Inverary United Church. Planning to drive out the Perth Road

this summer? Drop by and collect a fresh warm tomato and maybe a pepper or two, pull a few dandelions, have a chat with Christine about the gardens, think about whether this might work where you live.

Kennebec Lake hosts blind anglers

wenty-seven blind anglers teamed with pro anglers assembled at the Springwood Cottages on Kennebec Lake near Arden for the weekend of May 25-27 for the annual Blind Anglers International Tournament (BAIT), hosted by the Stittsville Lions Club. “The BAIT was developed by the Lions Clubs of District A4 (Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec) to provide an opportu-

nity, at no cost, for fun and excitement for legally blind people,” said chair Paul Riddell. “Also, it is intended to be an effective mechanism for their rehabilitation.” The BAIT hooks up blind persons with sports anglers to compete in a high-class fishing tournament each spring. The BAIT has been held for the past 29 years, usually in the Vanier area before moving to Kennebec Lake this year.

lue Skies in the Community is very excited to announce the 2018 Blue Skies Adult Music Camp! This camp will take place from the evening of Sunday July 29th to midday on Wednesday August 1st, 2018, just a few days before the festival, at the lovely, rural Blue Skies site, near Clarendon, Ontario. (So unlike other music camps, we’ll actually be camping outdoors, with tents ‘n’ stuff.) We’ll be offering three streams of musical instruction - ‘Let’s Sing!’, with Nicola Oddy, ‘Intermediate Jazz Theory

and Improvisation’, with Paul Renz, and ‘Singing Around the Campfire’ with our old friend Magoo. ‘Let’s Sing!’ is open to anybody who likes to sing, and no experience is required. The Jazz stream is suitable for those with an intermediate ability on their favourite instrument, and ‘Singing Around the Campfire’ is designed for folks who know at least a few chords on a guitar, ukulele, or mandolin, and would like to sing and play with others in a casual, welcoming setting. The cost for this event is $160. For more
