Fire Chief’s report rejected by Central Frontenac Council amid continuing public scrutiny

We Buy & Sell Firearms! (613) 372-2662

4567 Road 38, Harrowsmith

by Craig Bakay

“I

’ve never had an information report defeated before, I guess it’s non-information,” Mayor Frances Smith said at Central Frontenac Council’s regular meeting Tuesday night at Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake. The report in question came from Fire Chief and Director of Emergency Services Greg Robinson. Staff department heads in all townships regularly give monthly reports and they’re almost exclusively rubber-stamped by councils. But not this time. Councilor Brent Cameron asked for a recorded vote on the resolution to accept the report. He, along with Councilors Nicki Gowdy, Cindy Kelsey, Sherry Whan and Elwin Burke voted against accepting the report. Before the vote, Gowdy asked Robinson about training sessions. “Do you see a buy-in from firefighters and attendance at these sessions?” she asked. “It’s definitely a work in progress but comments I’ve had are that training is improved,” Robinson said. Cameron took issue with what he called “a lack of statistics” in Robinson’s report. “I understand the broader issues with technology (the department’s ‘Firehouse’ reporting software has been an ongoing issue),” Cameron said. “But I’d like to see even the stuff you would input to Firehouse. “For example, recruitment numbers.” “We have found a major tech issue,” Robinson said. “I have good 2018 stats now (and) I fully believe we will have stats for the next Council meeting.” “So the next fire report will have numbers in it?” said Cameron. “It will,” said Robinson. The rejection of the report comes in the context of continuing controversy over an incident that took place on July 27 and 28, when the township owned pickup truck that is used by Fire Chief Robinson’s was reported stolen in Prince Edward County. (Under the terms of his contract, Robinson uses the truck for personal as well as township business) The truck was subsequently located in Sharbot Lake where it suffered much damage in a hatchet attack by a man from Perth. It had been returned to the township office parking lot un-harmed by the

as yet unidentified truck thief. The hatchet incident led to an extensive police operation in Sharbot Lake on Sunday afternoon (July 28), involving the OPP canine and Emergency Response Units with helicopter support. A man from Perth, who has still not been identified by police, has been charged with vandalism and assault in the case. The OPP have not released any information regarding the theft itself. An unofficial petition on Change. org asking for Robinson’s resignation on the grounds that he has lost the confidence of the public has garnered 105 signatures. Magdelys Savigny and Elizabeth Rodriguez of OKAN - with Miguel de Armas The council meeting was attended by 15 or 20 people who were interested in seeing if council would address the controversy.

owner and operator of Highland Aerial Canada, Chole Lajoie from Watersheds Canada and Olivia from Federation of Ontario Cottage Associations. The presentation provided the highlights of the MALLA Eurasian Water Milfoil Management plan thus far and provide an environment where audience members could share their experiences. The main goal being - to gain some control over this invasive species. The MALLA project features a unique partnership. North Frontenac Township provided the initial funding in 2018 for the purchase of burlap mats, which is the latest method of controlling this invasive plant that is being deployed. In 2019, NF Township also funded a MALLA summer student with knowledge of drone operations; Ryleigh Rioux. The Above and Beyond class at Granite Ridge Education Centre is also a partner. They have provided the lake with aerial imagery of the recent infestation under the supervision of teacher Wade Leonard, who trains students in drone technologies. Two of these students are Ryleigh Rioux and Makayla Parks. The final partnership is with Professor Jessie Vermaire and grad student Patrick Beaupre from Carleton University who are well known for their studies in aquatic invasive species. Ryleigh Rioux, the MALLA summer student, provided a detailed summary of the project thus far by supplying aerial maps from the last three years. She compared 2017, 2018, and 2019 data indicating the huge expansion of the EWM colonies across Malcolm and Ardoch Lakes. “Over the last 8 months, there has been a dramatic increase in all the patch sizes, the most dramatic being the one at Ridge Lane, but there have also been significant increase in size of all the patches,” Rioux told the News in a phone interview afterwards. That’s the bad news, but while there is not any good news there is some promising news. “Last year, we laid our first sheet of burlap in the mouth of Ardoch Lake, and dozens of sheets were laid at the beginning of this summer, and the burlap has slowed the growth of the millfoil enough for the area to be safe for boating, and gives an opportunity for other treatments. There have also been good results in other lakes from the introduction of the milfoil weevil. No treatment can eradicate the EWM, but hopefully it can be contained,” she said Rioux has conducted 7 drone flights over sections of the lake so far this summer as part of the project and 7 more are planned. The drone flights are scheduled around a kind of goldilocks weather scenario (not too sunny because the images get washed out but not too much low cloud because the images can be too dark) as well as the availability of volunteers from the lake association. Because she is a licensed drone pilot, Rioux can operate the drone from one boat, and two to three other boats are also necessary so that someone can have eyes on the drone at all times. “It takes a lot of organization to do the drone flights,” she said. She has been using the Granite Ridge drones for the work

As the drone work has been proceeding, Jessie Vermaire and Patrick Beaupre from Carleton University have been collected data from the lake. They are looking at the impact of the milfoil on aquatic life in the region and will be monitoring the impact on aquatic life. They will also be looking at the impact of the milfoil mitigation efforts on aquatic life. At the meeting in the Clar-Mil hall, the range of strategies that MALLA has selected to minimize the negative effects of milfoil on their lake system were discussed. The number one strategy is still hand pulling along shorelines,

followed by the laying of biodegradable burlap mats, educating community members, lobbying for government funding, and the expanding a weed watch program. The presentation was followed by an interactive question and answer session. Some discussion centred on the use of weed cutters both hand- held and motorized as a strategy of removal as well as the use of the Milfoil Weevil, which has had promising results in other lakes. The day came to a close with the reading of “The Story of The Starfish” which highlights the importance of making a difference as we all have the ability to make a positive change to the environment - even if it is a small one.

o profile the enthusiasm and skill of local growers, the Kingston District Agricultural Society is launching a new competition for the Kingston Fall Fair. The Fair board invites farmers and gardeners of all ages to enter Watch Me Grow! -- by submitting a photograph and a description of something you are proud of growing or doing on your farm or in your garden. Entries will be displayed at the Kingston Fall Fair, Sept. 12 to 15. "Are your beans or tomatoes spectacular this year?" asks Dianne Dowling, one of the organizers for the competition. "Are you building a fine herd of cattle or a great flock of chickens? In spite of the difficult weather this year, are your field crops thriving? "Did you dedicate part, or all, of your garden to pollinator-friendly flowers? Or do something else to support pollinators? "Maybe you invented or created a piece

The photograph can be in black and white, or colour, but must be 4x6 in size, on photographic paper and taken by the entrant. The description needs to be 100 to 200 words in length. Judges will be looking at factors such as creativity, technical quality and enthusiasm in both the photograph and the writing. Entries will be received in two categories: junior (entrants under 18 years of age); and adults (18 and over). Cash prizes of $35, $25 and $15 will be awarded in each category.

This would mean the roads would become essentially gravel roads until such time as they can be re-surfaced but, he said the pulverizing would provide a good base once those projects can be undertaken and would provide a more drivable surface in the meantime. He said the Arden Road project from the hamlet to Pit Road is on hold. “I’m not sure it’s in good enough shape for micro-surfacing,” he said.

Homeowner's/ Landlord's Rights Re. Marijuana Outdoor Plants.

ell! We Don't Have Any. I live in the village of Harrowsmith. Next to my home is a building consisting of a real estate office and 3 apartments. Two of the apartments are families with children. At the rear of the yard is a family with two young sons. Across the street in full view of the yard is a home based day care. On July 25th a new tenant arrived, bringing with him 4 full grown marijuana plants. The plants were placed in the common area directly along my north fence line. He was asked to move them. He refused. I tried to resolve the dispute informally. The time I once enjoyed in my north hosta garden gone. Seeking information from the Township of South Frontenac and the OPP website, I discovered that my only option was to watch them grow. In full view, I was taken in by the height, some up to a metre, covered in buds, soaking up the noon day sun. An e-mail I received from the Township of South Frontenac reads in part; “marijuana growth is not regulated at the municipal level”. This means that there are no bylaws in our township concerning the growth of marijuana in yards and shared spaces. If a person is growing marijuana for personal use they are allowed 4 mature plants with no height limitation. No requirement that the plants be enclosed and out of the reach of

children. No bylaw stating it is a violation if the plants can be seen by the general public or a nuisance to neighbouring properties. Landlords, I urge that you become familiar with the recreational use laws. Tenant's rights are strong. The OPP have an excellent website. Of interest. An individual 19 years or older can cultivate up to 4 plants per residence, inside or OUTSIDE. And, there is no limit to the amount of cannabis that a tenant can own where they ordinarily reside. The new Federal/Provincial laws surrounding marijuana present challenges. We must act to get a bylaw in place that assists us in maintaining a healthy environment for our children as well as ourselves. Yes, marijuana is legal. Unfortunately, there are those who are pushing the law to its limits to tread on the rights of others. Let logic prevail. I am asking that you contact elected officials. Let them know that mood altering plants grown outdoors should be enclosed...out of the reach of children...

and not offending those on neighbouring properties. E. Ann Elvins

• The mystery tour started at the community centre. A caravan of 4 cars and 12 people followed the leader to a farm on the Kingston Road. Greeted by owner Rosemary Kralik, two of her large friendly dogs, sheep, horses, donkey and a peacock. Unfortunately the herd of yak and Highland cattle were out of sight in the woods. Rosemary told us about her desire to provide a safe and happy oasis for the animals that come her way. Then folks toured her home which is filled with her lovely paintings. Then we were off to visit Margaret and Tony French on Old Brooke Road. They once had a large flock of goats from which they made and sold goat cheese. Now the flock is reduced to 3 who will live out their lives in this beautiful oasis. Lovely gardens and a greenhouse full

Verona Car Show features record number of entries, many unique vehicles by Craig Bakay

he 24th annual Verona Car Show Sunday was the biggest ever, with 303 entries. When show originator Ed Asselstine did his last one before handing the reins over to John and Julie Nizman, there were 171 entries. The very next year, that rose to 270. “That was the big jump,” Asselstine said. “John brings in things like Party in a Box, the military displays, the firefighters demonstrations and the vendors in the building. “The old car people feed on the vendors. “But these are all things that make Verona special.” “The best thing about this show is that there’s something for everybody,” said Julie Nizman. One new thing this year was the addition of live music, in the form of ZC Top, who cranked out the ZZ Top tunes complete with beards and everything. “The drummer’s an old buddy of mine,” John Nizman said. “But we couldn’t have had them without Revell Ford sponsoring it.” And there certainly were a lot of vehicles, everything from sports cars, to trucks to passenger vehicles and even an old dune buggy. When asked which one he liked best, Asselstine immediately mentioned a ’51 Chevy two-door hardtop, his own. But, it didn’t take him very long to also point out a black Beaumont two-door hardtop, which he identified as a ’67. It may have started out as a ’67 resto project, but it evolved into Jack Bowes’ personal dream car. “I had one when I was 19,” Bowes said. “It was black with a red interior. “But I wrecked it.” Now some of you might remember Bowes as the guy who had a car repair shop in Glenburnie for many years. So, when he wanted to put together the ride of his youth, he was faced with a formidable challenge. You see, the Beaumont is somewhat rare. They were made by Pontiac but only sold in

Canada. They were the counterpart to the Chevy Chevelle. Regardless, there weren’t all that many of them around to begin with and putting one together wasn’t easy. “I didn’t get a car, I got a trailer load of parts,” Bowes said of his pet project. “It took me 3 1/2 years to do and I would totally do it again.” He said there are about six cars put together to make this one. One of those cars came from John McDonald, who was also at the show. “This is the first time I’ve seen it completed,” McDonald said. “Holy s...!” But Bowes took a few liberties to put together his dream car. The engine and drive train are from a 2000 GMC truck. The suspension and tires are upgrades and there are a few cosmetic additions. “And gauges,” he said. “It wouldn’t have had all these gauges but I really like looking at them.” This wasn’t his first restoration job however. In his 20s, Bowes worked on a lot of drag racers. But this one was special. “It was designed to be a retirement project,” he said. “And since I didn’t have a job, I

Jupiter and Saturn the stars of weekend show at Sky Pad (Ganymede, Europa, Io and Callisto) are also visible, as is Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, which is believed to be a giant storm. “The Red Spot is shrinking,” Nason said. “When I got into this, you could fit three Earths into it. “Now it’s only one.” He said both planets have been known since antiquity, hence their names (after Roman gods) “Saturn is easily the most impressive (as seen through a telescope) in the night sky (because of its rings),” he said. “It’s roughly twice as far away as Jupiter.

by Craig Bakay upiter and Saturn were the ‘stars’ of the show Saturday and Sunday nights (August 3 and 4) of the uguat long weekend at the Dark Skies Preserve observation pad in Fernleigh. Guy Nason, one of the Sky Pad’s astronomers-in-residence, said that at 700 million kilometres away right now, Jupiter is almost as close as it gets (it was 640,962,549 on June 12 but is usually almost 800 million kilometers away). “Jupiter and Saturn are the fifth and sixth planets in the solar system and the two largest,” he said. Along with Jupiter, its four Galilean moons

“You can see the A, B & C rings.” Other items of interest on the menu last weekend were a flyby of the International Space Station and the presence of globular cluster NGC 6235 near Jupiter. About 30 people were there at Saturday night’s peak, including visitors from Ottawa and Toronto. The sky pad is open to the public most

nights for observation. The next organized event is Aug. 31/Sept. 1 when the theme will be Star Names and Meanings. Jupiter’s Red Spot should be visible all evening on the 31st

Central’s revamping of Official Plan gets underway C entral Frontenac Township kicked off the first of three open houses on the revisiting of its Official Plan (mandated by Provincial Law) last week in Sharbot Lake with an information session on Waterfront Development Policies. Subsequent open houses on Settlement Areas and Growth Management and Rural Areas and Agriculture are planned on following Wednesdays. About 50 people including staff and four members of Central Frontenac Council. “This is a complete overhaul of the Official Plan,” said Frontenac County Manager of Community Planning Megan Rueckwald, who also serves as Central Frontenac’s planner. “It will be more comprehensive and not just for waterfront areas.” One proposal is to reduce the minimum lot size to 2 acres (0.8 hectares) from the current 2.47 acres (1 hectare). “But there will be other measures introduced to deal with character and density along the waterfronts,” she said. “For example, there is work on backlanes and a 30-metre setback has been solidified. “Also there are new policies to govern lot coverage within 60 metres (200 feet) of the high water mark.” As well, there are specific sections to govern the Garrison Shores development and the fish culture station at White Lake. Rueckwald said they plan to bring a report to a Council meeting in September summarizing the feedback they receive. However, she said there is a new Provincial Policy Statement expected in October and any final changes to the Official Plan will likely wait until it comes out, in order to be consistent with the PPS and Frontenac County Official Plan. So, there’s still plenty of time to have your say. The third and final open house is scheduled for Aug. 28 at 6 p.m. in Sharbot Lake’s Oso Hall. Or you can contact Rueckwald directly at 613-548-9400 ext. 351 or mreueckwald@ frontenaccounty.ca

Summer mini beer review I

t’s been a hot summer, and the Ontario brewing industry has responded.

My wife Martina, who knows a thing or two about the taste of beer, has developed a habit of buying one or two cans of up to dozen varieties of beer when she visits LCBO stores in large and small centres. Then, over time, we check them out and try to remember whether at least one of us liked them or not. Over the last few years the craft brewing industry has been working hard to develop summer beers. These are beers that are refreshing and full of flavour, nothing too heavy and malty. They are sometimes low in alcohol as well, making them good choices for a hot summer afternoon drink, or to accompany a summer bbq.

One of the pleasant surprises this summer is by Spearhead, an established brewery that moved to Kingston a couple of years ago. Their flagship beer is the Hawaiian Pale Ale, which is a pretty good choice at any time of the year, flavourful and not quite as hoppy as many of the Pale Ales that dominate the brewing landscape But the beer that they like to call “Summer in a Can” is their Chardonnay Summer Ale.

Second Arden Family Field Day expands on a similar theme. by Craig Bakay common definition of community is when a group of people with diverse characteristics, who are linked by social ties, who share common perspectives, engage in joint activities making our communities a better place to live. This is what we have going on here today, and we are proud and thankful for those who donate their time and ideas to add to the spirit of Arden.” Those are the words of Central Frontenac Town Crier Paddy O’Connor in his dedication for the opening of the second annual Arden Family Field Day Saturday at the Ball Park in Arden. And, O’Connor’s words seemed to sum up what organizer Jordan Chatwin wanted to do with this event. “Compared to last year, we wanted to expand,” Chatwin said. “We added vendors,

a parade, live music (Derek and daughter Cayleigh Matson). “I think we hit all our markers.” This year, the parade marked a return of something Arden hasn’t seen in quite awhile. While nobody could remember exactly when the last parade in Arden was, Glen Matson offered this: “Not sure when it was but Dorothy Gaylord was reeve and (Bill) Vankoughnet was the member. “They sat in this very same wagon.” “This (field day) is just for community spirit,” Chatwin said. “It’s a beautiful place, beautiful people (and) when we get together, we can do beautiful things. “No one’s getting paid and the scope of it is — the sky’s the limit

Town Crier Paddy O’Connor and Glen Matson led off the parade at the Arden Family Field Day Saturday at the ball park in Arden.

Leane and Brian Bailey are an Ompah area couple who together are Art by Bailey. She works primarily in coloured pencils and he does pastels.

epending on the entrance to NAEC you used for this year’s Cloyne Showcase Art & Craft Sale, you may have been greeted by a pastel (chalk-based) portrait of Keith Richards. A little further in the display, there was a similar treatment of Willie Nelson. These are the work of Brian Bailey, a first-timer at the show game. Bailey and his wife, Leane, retired to the Ompah area three years ago and are

beginning to make an impression on the northern art scene. They work in pastels and coloured pencils and in fact, have been commissioned to do a mural for North Frontenac Township (to be installed at the Public Works Garage on 509 and S. Lavant Road). “We’ll be learning acyrlics for that one,” he said. “Pastels don’t stand up to the elements.” Brian has drawn for years, dating back

to the late ’70s but somewhere along the line, he fell out of it. He’s just picked it up again since retiring. “I worked for Coca Cola for 40 years,” he said. “I went there in 1976 for a summer job and never left.” Leane was a high school teacher in Durham. They lived in Port Perry but opted for Ompah in retirement. “And yes,” he said. “I am a big Rolling Stones fan. We have a wall in our basement that’s all Rolling Stones portraits,” she said. “I did a bunch of them in 1978,” he said. The Baileys’ work is on display in the gallery at the back of the Shamrock Bakery in Plevna. And showing off the work of local artists is quite in keeping with why the Cloyne Showcase, now in its 47th year, began, said Katie Ohlke, NAEC art teacher and one of the organizers of the annual show. “It started out as a way for the night school adult students to showcase what they’d done,” she said. “And now, 15 per cent of the sales help fund the art program at the school.” And while many schools have art programs, not many get the support and emphasis NAEC gives its program. “It’s great,” she said. “The kids here are very artsy.

“I think kids who grow up in the country here are more creative because they’re surrounded by nature.”

Continued from page 9 It is brewed partially from juice from Chardonnay grapes, and is called a beer/wine hybrid. The alcohol level is 4.3%, so it is not quite a light beer but getting there. It is kind of a perfect summer beverage, living up to the ‘summer in a can’ hype as far as I am concerned. It is fruity but not sweet, tart but not sour. I’d never heard about Yuzu, which is an Asian citrus fruit that looks like a lemon but is reported to be not quite as sour. It is used in asian and global cuisine. There is a brewery/ restaurant in Toronto called Godspeed that is devoted to a Japanese aesthetic. They brew a Saison beer that is called Yuzu, which and now Muskoka brewery has put out “All Eyes n Yuzu”, a pale ale with a slightly sweet citrusy flavour coming from the asian fruit. It has some hoppiness at the end but is more fruity than bitter. Another summer beer to remember, only available until October, according to the breweries’ website. Quick mentions - fans of hazy, grapefruity IPA beers should check out the DDH (double dry hopped) beers from Collective Arts Hazy State - 4.1% alcohol, Life in the Clouds - 6.1%, and Surround Sound - 8.2% - Finally for a light sour, Ebb and Flow (Muskoka Breweryu)
