Hillier taking aim at MVCA, RVCA

by Jeff Green ong a critic of the local conservation authorities, going back to his pre-government days with the Ontario Landowners Association, MPP Randy Hillier is now taking steps to try and curtail some of the activities of both the Mississippi Valley (MVCA) and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authorities (RVCA). Last week, he sent a letter to Rod Phillips, the Minister of Environment, Conservation, and Parks, which talked about his “growing concerns with the activities” of the two authorities. “Unfortunately, I have to question the viability retaining these Conservation Authorities in their current form,” he wrote. He takes the position that the two authorities do a poor job satisfying their core mandate, to manage dams on local lakes and keep water levels within acceptable parameters, and to “oversee development in floodplains and proximity to provincially significant wetlands”. He said that both the MVCA and RVCA have “increased their focus on expanding consulting services while neglecting their core responsibilities” He urges the minister to repeal the section of the Conservation Authority Act which allows conservation authorities to enter into contractual relationships with local municipalities to provide a range of services, including septic inspection services among others. Hillier also sent the letter to local municipalities, including North and Central Frontenac, requesting a motion of support to be forwarded to the minister. The letter sites three cases in which, according to Hillier, the authorities provided poorly conceived technical review services in their consultant role for municipalities that led to delays and increased costs for developers. The MVCA and RVCA issued a joint response to MPP Hillier’s letter on Monday, November 26. The response, which was sent to the local townships says the authorities “would be pleased to respond” to the specific assertions made in the letter, offering to appear before Council to do so. It then goes on to provide an overview of the services that the two Authorities provide and the legal and contractual basis they operate under. The letter points out that the services provide a level of expertise to municipalities that “can lead to cost-efficiencies, streamlined delivery and better service for applicants and the environment.” The response also says that “providing additional services to municipalities with respect to planning and development does not take significant resources away from other conservation authority priorities as fees are collected from appli-

Santa Claus is coming: to a village near you! S by Wilma Kenny

ydenham opened the local Santa Claus parade season last Saturday with the most parade participants ever. For a photographer, the best place to start is at the firehall while the parade is being assembled. Excitement is high, nobody’s chilled to the bone yet, people are happy to pose and chat. I found out that Matt Trousdale hopes to use the ancient zamboni he drove in the parade to make a village rink on the lake near the boat launch this winter. “The ice had better be a foot thick,” said his father; “That thing weighs two and a half tons when it’s loaded.” Matt offered me a ride, but we couldn’t find a safe place for a passenger. There was a live band from the senior class at Loughborough Public, well bundled up, but prepared to play with thin gloves. Ormsbee’s Merchantile had loaded a farm wagon with what must have been all the children in Sunbury, along with their moms. Sydenham Lions were filling baskets with oranges to be handed out along the route. (The lion costume looked like the cosiest outfit in the whole parade. Perhaps Mayor Vandewal and Councillor Sutherland should dress in animal costumes for warmth next year?) Some very small Frontenac Flyers showed that it was possible to have all your teeth, no mullets and no beards and still play hockey. New Leaf Link had a float, as did Captain Canada: “Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.” This year, the customary Township snowplow was festooned with seasonal decorations. As the last float headed out, the

big firehouse doors opened with a dramatic flourish, and out rode Mr & Mrs Santa with their reindeer. There were crowds of cheering watchers along the route. Some brought their dogs, most of which were sporting bows or fancy coats, but there were none to compare with Brother Brian’s patient Basset hound who used to be included in a nativity float, dressed as an angel or a camel. This coming Saturday, there will be parades in Denbigh, Harrowsmith, Plevna and Sharbot Lake.

Impaired charge during parade

n Sydenham on November 24th at 10:21 a.m. Frontenac Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received information from a member of the public of a possible impaired driver in the Sydenham Santa Clause Parade. At 10:32 a.m. the suspect vehicle was located at the intersection of George Street and Wheatly Street. As a result of the investigation, Peter Trousdale, a 37 year old male from Sydenham was charged with having more than 80 mgs of alcohol in his blood while operating a motor vehicle. In Inverary on November 24th, at 6:31 p.m. officers from Frontenac Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a single motor vehicle collision on Latimer Road near Inverary. The male driver, Alain Jacob Doseger, a 28 year old male from Kingston was charged with impaired driving and having more than 80 mgs of alcohol in his blood.

dna Goslin of Sydenham celebrated her 100th birthday with a crowd of friends and relatives last Sunday at her current residence in Arbour Heights. Edna, who was born Edna Pixley, grew up on her family farm on Wilson Road, east of Harrowsmith. She and Mel Goslin moved to Rutledge Road in Sydenham after their marriage, where for many years they farmed the area now becoming a subdivision. Edna raised their two children, Ann and Glen, while operating a beauty parlour in her home. In later years, she and Mel took over a small school bus line, and for many years, Edna drove one of the busses morning and evening. Glen described his mother as a lifelong monarchist: “I remember we were dragged out of bed to watch or listen to the coronation, royal weddings and Christmas greetings. When the queen came to Canada, we went to see her.” The highlight of the many letters of congratulations was signed ‘Elizabeth’ and accompanied by a photo of the Queen. Edna at first shook her head in disbelief that her years of fascination with Elizabeth had finally been recognized with a

personal response. Then she smiled.

Addington Highlands holds meeting to talk about going to pot by Craig Bakay ddington Highlands Township seems to be a bit ahead of its neighbours on the cannabis question and last week held a special Council meeting to determine what its options might be. To that end, Council invited Nancy Wartman, a planner with the IBI Group, to run them through what the rules are as they currently exist. Wartman outlined the various governmental roles — federal, provincial and municipal — as well as cannabis for medicinal use, and cannabis for recreational use. But most importantly, she outlined the issues municipalities have to consider, including cultivation, processing, personal cultivation, both recreational and medical, retail stores for recreational use and the opt-in/ opt out aspect which municipalities must decide by Jan. 22, 2019. “When regulating the following — cultivation, processing, personal cultivation, retail stores (coming April 2019) — we need to be thinking about land use compatibility, odour, noise, traffic/parking, secutiry/safety and servicing,” Wartman said. All of these pertain primarily to recreation

al marijuana. “The federal government regulates medical marijuana,” she said. “And Health Canada is to inform municipalities when there is a a grow-op in their jursidication.” “Except that they don’t,” interjected Reeve Henry Hogg, referring to grow-ops on Upper Flinton Road and Clarke Line Road. “The biggest issue we’ve had is grow-op. “I’ve been told there are 8,000 plants in the Township.” “We’re not entitled to know the exact number of plants under the Protection of Privacy Act,” said CAO/Clerk-Treasurer Christine Reed. Still, when it comes to medical cultivation of cannabis, there likely isn’t much a municipality can do, Wartman said. For federally licensed producers, the considerations are, she said: "do you want large scale producers to come to your municipality? • Do you want farmland to be utilized for growing of cannabis? • What level of servicing is required for indoor/greenhouse/ outdoor growing? • Do you want to differentiate between indoor growing versus greenhouse growing versus outdoor growing ? • Are there lands available for these types of uses/where do you envision them locating? And, when it comes to medical cultivation, local regulation of medical cannabis potentially engages Charter (of Rights and Freedoms) issues. When it comes to personal recreational use cultivation, it could be handled in the Official Plan, Zoning Bylaw, a new licensing bylaw or a nuisance bylaw (for odour). “But can we really regulate where it is grown or if it has to be grown in a greenhouse?” said Hogg. “We’ve had odour complaints about a pre-existing operation but how much control can we have?” “I guess we have to realize we have quite the underground economy here and of course you can get it online,” said Dep. Reeve Helen Yanch. When it comes to retail operations, there are some incentives to opt in, such as $15 million in funding available from the provincial government, job creation, tax assess-

ment and tourism. However, they require a municipality to opt in before Jan. 22, 2019. Wartman said she thought a municipality would have considerable control over the location of retail operations through zoning, either by treating it as retail use (ie C1 Zone) or defining a Cannabis Retail Facility and permitting it only in new, use-specific zone or existing zones where appropriate. Such a new zone would likely include provisions to regulate separation from sensitive land uses, separation from other retail cannabis stores, parking, signage, lighting, hours of operation, etc. Reed pointed out that if you opt in, that’s

it, you’re in for good. If you opt out (ie prohibiting retail sales), you can opt in at a later date, but it’s likely that the $15 million in funding would no longer be available. “My recommendation would be to opt out to buy some time,” said Reed. “It would be good to have some more public input which could be a survey on the website,” said Coun. Kirby Thompson. “We enjoyed the presentation but It just kind of makes our water a little more murky.” “I don’t think this going to work out the way the federal government thinks,” said Coun. Tony Fritsch. “If you can grow your own, why would you buy it?”

North Frontenac looking at unique family development on Kash by Craig Bakay espite a rather lengthy agenda that included a public meeting on a unique proposal for a family recreational complex on Kashwakamak Lake, an afternoon information session/open house on the new Zoning Bylaw and recognition of long-serving employees, there wasn’t much actual business done at North Frontenac’s last regular Council meeting before the new Council takes over in December. The proposed development on Kashwakamak prompted county Manager of Community Planning Megan Rueckwald to comment: “this is quite site specific. “The Zoning Bylaw is not going to service every single property in North Frontenac.” Rueckwald said they have received “a number” of letters and emails on the proposal. “I know the Kash Association is against four or five families there because of potential congestion,” said Coun. Gerry Martin. “We didn’t even inform the lake association.” “We have no requirement to tell the lake associations,” said Mayor Ron Higgins. “It was advertised in the paper.” The proposal is unique in that Debbie Rucker owns 101 acres on two lots. There are four grown children who would like to create a family lodge along with parents and

SINCE 1970 small children, 11 family members in total. Writing in the proposal for the family, Debbie Rucker said: “The property was initially purchased with the intention of eventually giving ownership to the current owners’ four adult children. “Its purpose was to be a place where the family can come together, and the owners’ grandchildren have a place to grow up exploring and making memories.” There was a pre-existing trailer on the property when purchased and they have also used two additional trailers and tents. If approved, the plan would include four sleep cabins of varying designs, an outdoor kitchen, bathroom and shower facilities, fresh and grey water, a power/storage shed, a water tower, a garage and a main dwelling. “Our next planning report will address the comments we’ve received,” said Rueckwald. “Today, we’re just getting information,” said CAO Cheryl Robson. “We’re still receiving public input.” “I guess I’m concerned about precedent here,” said Coun. John Inglis. “What prevents anybody from doing whatever they want?” Recycling Blues Mayor Ron Higgins expressed concern that the amount of recyclables were going

down. “A lot of it is around plastic,” said Public Works Manager Darwyn Sproule. “There’s a shift in what packaging producers are sending us.” “A lot of things are changing in the market so we’ll be bringing a report soon,” said CAO Cheryl Robson.

“Toronto is to be barred from shipping its waste to the U.S.,” said Coun. John Inglis. “They’ll be turning their eyes eastward,” said Coun. Gerry Martin. “We have the most capacity in the Frontenacs,” said Robson. “And China isn’t taking as much plastic as they used to,” said Coun. Vernon Hermer.

Hillier takes on Conservation Authorities -- continued from page 1 cants to cover, or to offset the cost of these services.” Randy Hillier’s letter to Minister Phillips made reference to one specific case that is relevant to North Frontenac, dealing with the K&P Trail. “As a recent example, when concerns about much needed repairs to the K&P Trail were brought to my attention, my staff was advised by the MVCA that there was no money to do the necessary repairs because the budget had been spent litigating a claim against the MVCA.” Paul Lehman is the Manager of the MVCA, a job he has held since 1989. He will

be retiring early in 2019. In an interview early this week, he addressed some of the points made by Randy Hillier in his letter. In particular, he was asked about the K&P Trail case. He said that the MVCA owns about a 40km section of the trail, running from just north of Snow Road in North Frontenac, and east through Lanark and into Renfrew County. The section of trail was owned by the Province of Ontario, under the authority of the Ministry of Agriculture. The MVCA first got involved in maintenance on behalf of the Ministry in the 1980’s. The trail was transferred to MVCA in the early 1990’s and for the first few years the province provided

some financial support for maintenance, a situation that ended in 1996. “From that point on we have maintained the trail as a recreational trail, working with the snowmobile associations and the Ottawa Valley ATV Club to keep it going. We only have limited resources devoted to it, about $5,000 per year,” said Lehman. The authority was indeed approached by a landowner on the trail this summer with concerns over flooding, Lehman said. “The landowner was using the trail to access to their property. We only deal with the trail as a recreational trail, not as an access road. We did have a local contractor look at the culverts in that location, and they were not crushed but were blocked and we had them cleared, but that is all we can do,” Lehman said. “It is not in our mandate to maintain a trail for access to a neighbouring property, only as a recreational resource.” There has been a legal case along the trail, near the border between Lanark and Frontenac County for a number of years, Lehman added. “That is a case where a neighbouring

landowner encroached on the trail, and the MVCA initiated a court case. We needed establish our ownership of the land, which did cost a fair bit of money. The case is settled, pending a survey, and we had to use our general funds to cover the legal costs.” Lehman said. When the Hillier letter came up at North Frontenac Council last week, a proposed motion of support was deferred. When it came up at Central Frontenac Council this week, it was defeated. The Mississippi-Rideau Septic System Office, which is jointly managed by MVCA and RVCA, provides septic re-inspection services for the voluntary inspection program, on lakefront properties in North Frontenac.

The Frontenac News ~ Christmas Gift Guide

Cottage owner invents safety device to counter danger of open water By Catherine Reynolds atching helplessly as a child slips into frigid water under a broken ice shelf is a parent’s worst nightmare. Speaking in Sydenham on a Sunday on Sunday, (November 25), Rob Pasch talked about the device he has invented to counter the danger of open water in winter. “It’s not about money, it’s about safety,” he said about about his illuminated buoy that can prevent accidents and keep a person afloat or guide them to safety if they fall in. A cottage owner on Knowlton Lake, Rob thought of the product when he couldn’t buy one. “I was looking to purchase something like that for myself and there was nothing available on the market so I made it,” he explained. “It’s a device that’s quite unique in its own right. It saves lives and mitigates a property owner’s liability. From here to Florida, there is nothing that will safeguard people from open water systems.” Called the RescueBubblerBuoy ™ , the product was of-

ficially launched Nov. 1. The three main features are: • a bright blue LED light that shines from dusk to dawn • the ability to hold the weight of someone who has fallen into the water • a tether which can be used by people to pull themselves to shore or safety “For the sake of $500, this mitigates the potential of a lawsuit and can save lives,” says the 66-year-old father of three. Originally from Holland, Rob moved to Canada in 1969. He works as a travelling orthodontic associate for five dental clinics in the Greater Toronto Area. “I came to Canada when I was 17,” said the Queen’s University Alumnus, and University of Toronto Graduate. “I’m an individual who enjoys the chosen path in life,” he said when asked to describe himself. “I enjoy providing opportunities to my children and grandchildren because I know what it’s like to not be supported. Hopefully I’m able to do that for them which stems from my childhood days.” Clearly passionate about the health and wellbeing of others, Rob’s device is insured, approved by the Canadian Coast Guard and pending a patent. “It’s different. There’s nothing like it on the market,” he said. “I’m proud of it. It’s definitely a product that has a need.” According to Rob, many people are concerned about the increasing number of de-icers on the lakes which are used to prevent ice build-up around docks, boathouses and other structures. The de-icers create open water which is often not visible to fast moving snowmobilers, despite warnings such as signs and possibly lights. “They don’t know if there is a de-icer there or not,” says Rob. Citing section 263 of the Canadian Criminal Code, Rob says it is the property owner’s responsibility (or the person who creates the open water) to alert people to the hazard. “If people don’t see the opening, they could potentially fall in,” he said. “The RescueBubblerBuoy ™ gives you an indication of something you want to be aware of. “The mindset is changing now,” he said Rob. “It used to be

To raise awareness of diabetes and to provide information on best management, the Sharbot Family Health Team Diabetes Education Team (Cathy Fox, Certified Diabetes Educator, Registered Nurse and Saman Shaikh, Certified Diabetes Educator, Registered Dietitian) at Sharbot Lake Family Health Team will be contributing weekly articles during the month of November. Wouldn’t it be nice if your body had an “early warning system” to let you know when something was not right? Prediabetes is just that: an indication that your blood glucose (sugar) is higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be within the range of diabetes. Sometimes referred to as “borderline diabetes”, a diagnosis of prediabetes is a chance to change the future. Chances of a type 2 diabetes diagnosis increase if you have prediabetes, but not everyone with prediabetes will develop diabetes. There are several risk factors that may lead to type 2 diabetes and being aware of these can be helpful in keeping

IN MEMoRIAM Stephen Downes Nov. 30, 2017 On the anniversary of the day that we lost you, and for a time it felt as though our lives had ended too; But loss has taught us many things and now we face each day, with hope and happy memories to help us on our way; And though we’re full of sadness, that you’re no longer here, your influence still guides us and we still feel you near; What we shared will never die, it lives within our hearts, bringing strength and comfort while we are apart. Loved & missed, Mom, Dad & Christopher

PURPOSE OF THE BY-LAW: A rezoning application (ZBLA-Free Methodist Church2018) was received from the Vennachar Free Methodist Church to rezone a parcel of land municipally described as 424 Matawatchan Road. The subject lands are designated Rural in the Official Plan and zoned Community Facility (CF). The subject application proposes to place the subject lands in a site-specific Community Facility (CF-3) Zone. A rezoning application (ZBLA-1405313 Ontario Ltd./Denco Holdings-2018) was also received from 1405313 Ontario Ltd. (Denco Holdings) to rezone an approximately 0.2 ha (0.49 acres) of an adjacent parcel of land legally described as Part of Lots 7- 10, Concession 1, in the geographic Township of Denbigh. The subject lands are designated Rural in the Official Plan and are zoned Rural (RU). The subject application proposes to place the 0.2 ha parcel of land in the same site-specific Community Facility (CF-3) Zone. Provisional approval was received through consent application SEV 2018/06 to sever a 0.2 hectare parcel of land from the lands owned by Denco Holdings for the purposes of a lot addition to the adjacent lands owned by the Vennachar Free Methodist Church, in order to increase the lot size of the church parcel to enable the replacement of the septic system. Rezoning of the lands to be severed was required as a condition of consent to place the lands in the same zone as the benefitting parcel and to recognize a reduced interior yard setback for non-residential uses. For clarity, the lands to receive the lot addition are also proposed to be rezoned so that the resulting parcel is in one site-specific zone. Due to the current separate ownership of the parcels, two separate rezoning applications have been filed as was the preference of the property Owner’s. Due to their related nature, they are effectively being processed as one application. EFFECT OF THE BY-LAW REQUEST he Zoning By-law Amendment will enable the proposed lot addition and place the whole of the resulting lot in a site-specific zone which will permit a reduced side yard setback to allow the installation of a septic system. EFFECT OF WRITTEN AND ORAL SUBMISSIONS ON APPLICATIONS Person/Body Submission Effect KFL&A Public Health KFL&A Public Health No effect. has provided written confirmation that they will not need to comment on this application. LOCATION OF PROPERTY: The subject lands owned by the Vennachar Free Methodist Church are legally described as Part of Lot 10, Concession 1, in the geographic Township of Denbigh, more specifically identified as Parts 2 and 3 on Plan 29R7068 and are municipally described as 424 Matawatchan Road (see Key Map). The subject lands owned by Denco KEY MAP Holdings are legally described as Part of Lots 7- 10, Concession 1, in the geographic Township of Denbigh, more specifically identified as Parts 1 and 4 on Registered Plan 29R-7068 and Part 1 on Plan 29R-6913.

Sydenham teacher-coach Leslie Lawlor receives OFSAA award B by Craig Bakay

eing this year’s recipient of the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association’s (OFSAA) Leadership in School Sport Award wasn’t something Sydenham High School’s Leslie Lawlor was expecting. “I was surprised,” she said. “But I’m really grateful and appreciative.” The award came at the opening banquet for this year’s OFSAA AA Boys Volleyball Championship, which Sydenham hosted. The award is presented annually at each OFSAA Championship to a teacher-coach who has made a significant contribution to their educational athletic program. The recipient exemplifies the values of fair play and good sportsmanship, while promoting enjoyment, personal growth and educational achievement through school sport. Lawlor was a student at Sydenham High school, representing them at OFSAA track and filed and cross country. She went to Queen’s University where she played five years on the women’s soc-

PAGe 11

cer team. She’s been at SHS for more than 22 years, teaching primarily phys. ed. but also students with special needs and English. Before SHS, she taught at KCVI and the old Sharbot Lake High School. As a coach, she guides the cross country team in the fall and then in the spring, she coaches both the Boy’s Senior Soccer team and is Head Coach of the Track and Field Team — a team that regularly features more than 80 athletes. “I have known Leslie personally for over a decade and have come to know the amazing rapport and mutual respect she has earned with the students at our school,” said fellow teacher-coach Mark Richards. “I have seen first hand how Leslie has truly made each of her athlete’s lives better in many areas.” (Right) Sydenham High School’s Leslie Lawlor is the recipient of this year’s OFSAA Leadership in School Sport Award.

Blue Skies brings Craig Cardiff to LOLPS L

by Kathy Bateman

and O’ Lakes Public School was lucky enough to once again welcome JUNO nominated singer-songwriter, Craig Cardiff to our school. He delighted our students with his beautiful vocals, amazing guitar playing and quick humour. Craig is a fantastic storyteller and he is wonderful at drawing

in his audience. He started the day with a whole school concert and then we broke off into large groups to participate in songwriting “workshops” with him. We would like to thank Blue Skies in the Community for giving us generous funding to help bring Craig to our school.

Diabetes - Continued from page 7 higher risk of diabetes. A family history or genetic predisposition to diabetes can also be a major factor, along with being a member of a high-risk population such as Asian, African, Indigenous, Hispanic, or South Asian populations. Other risk factors include having high blood pressure or high cholesterol, being overweight (especially around your tummy), having sleep apnea, or taking medications such as glucocorticoids that may raise blood glucose. Women who have been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, or who may have had gestational diabetes during pregnancy, are also more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. The good news is that research has shown if you take steps to manage your blood sugars when you have prediabetes, you can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. The treatment of prediabetes is usually based on making healthy changes in your lifestyle, though some medical professionals may prescribe medication to further reduce your chances of developing diabetes. If you are overweight, losing weight in healthy, sustainable way can also make a significant different in your health and quality of life. A healthy, balanced diet that includes moderation of all foods, regular meals and snacks, and plenty of fruits and vegetables is beneficial. A healthy diet also includes minimally processed foods, whole grains, and little or no added sugar. Keeping well hydrated by drinking water and limiting sugary drinks such as pop and fruit juice is also important. As well, physical activity is necessary for a healthy lifestyle. Diabetes Canada

recommends 150 minutes of moderate-vigorous aerobic activity each week (e.g. brisk walking, biking, jogging etc., for 30 minutes a day). If you are not used to such physical activity, you may have to start slowly and increase your activity level gradually. If you have prediabetes, keeping on top of it can be paramount to preventing or delaying diabetes. People who have been diagnosed with prediabetes should have blood work done at least once a year to make sure your blood glucose level is not creeping up. If you would like to learn more about healthy eating and active living, or just need some support with setting goals and getting motivated, the Diabetes Education Program at the Sharbot Lake Family Health Team can help. Please call the Sharbot Lake Family Health Team at 613-279-2100 to book an appointment to discuss your diabetes. Our Certified Diabetes Educators are here to help you learn how to best manage your diabetes or pre-diabetes. A Registered Dietitian is available by appointment for patients of the Sydenham and Verona Medical Clinics on alternate Wednesdays. Patients of the Sydenham Medical Clinic can call 613-376-3327 to schedule an appointment. If you are a patient of the Verona Medical Clinic, please call 613-3742077. Monthly diabetes education group sessions are held at the Verona Medical Clinic. A Registered Dietitian and a Nurse Practitioner are available to discuss a range of topics related to living with diabetes and pre-diabetes. Everyone is welcome to attend. The next season is Thursday November 22nd, from 9 a.m. to noon."
