Planning, new committee, strat plan, littering and clear cuts: full agenda in South Frontenac J

by Wilma Kenny

oe Gallivan (Director of Planning and Economic Development) and Megan Rueckwald (Manager of Community Planning) came to Council as a delegation from Frontenac County. They brought an update on population projections for South Frontenac and outlined some of the planning advantages of introducing privately owned communal water and sewage treatment services in South Frontenac. “The timing couldn’t be better”, said Gallivan, referring to the Township’s current updating of the Official Plan, and the projection that 80% of the County’s population growth over the next few decades is projected to occur in Southern Frontenac. He described how communal services would make it possible to develop smaller lots, to create infill and more ‘walkable’ communities. One issue is the requirement that the municipality support communal systems by assuming some responsibility for the greater degree of financial risk. Mayor Vandewal said the first five years would be critical: if the municipality could hold some of the responsibility for that period, it would allow time to build up a reserve and become self-supporting for maintenance issues, much as the Sydenham water treatment plant has done. Councillor Morey referred to last week’s delegations of residents upset about a subdivision setback being changed to permit a smaller front yard setback. “Might this tightening of space and greater den-

sity discourage people?” “This will be the Township’s decision,” said Gallivan; “There are people coming from the city who don’t know anything about septic systems, and might prefer not to have to learn how to live with one.” Vandewal added that there would probably be a market for people who couldn’t afford large lots and houses. Claire Dodds (Township Director of Development Services), said “This would give us a viable alternative to the current lot size, which right now we do not have. We can set the limits, the parameters. It might be a good way to provide more units for seniors. Councillor Ruttan agreed; “Smaller lots could provide a wider range of living choices for our residents. Deputy Mayor Sutherland asked if there was any room for consideration of the effects of climate change; Rueckwald replied that the development consultation process could take these concerns into consideration. Mayor Vandewal summed the discussion up; “What’s most important is that our Township plans and controls how future growth takes place.”

Lake Ecosystem Advisory Committee

Following a request from Council, CAO Carbone brought a draft of terms of reference for a proposed Lake Ecosystem Advisory Committee for discussion. This committee could meet quarterly and would provide a new conduit through which council and senior staff could receive feedback

Central Frontenac moderates tax levy increase to 8%. by Craig Bakay o ahead and start the projects,” Central Frontenac Mayor Frances Smith told staff at the end of the Township’s final budget meeting for 2020. The increase in Central Frontenac levy is the highest in Frontenac County this year at 8.2%. North Frontenac ratepayers are facing a 3.1% increase, and the increase in South Frontenac is 2.54%. Central Frontenac Township will be levying $8,896,524 from its ratepayers in 2020, up from $8,219,860 in 2019. But the final numbers are significantly down from the draft budget that council looked at a month ago, when the increase was pegged at over 24% “We’ve brought the numbers down $1,151,000 from the draft budget,” said Smith. While there were cuts and savings to all departments, the biggest cut came from the Public Works Department, where the fog-sealing treatment for surface-treated roads was put off for at least a year, netting a $200,000 savings. “As long as we get to it before the road

deteriorates,” said Public Works Manager Tyson Myers. Most of the other savings were realized by transferring funds from reserves or not making as large a contribution to reserves. Treasurer Michael McGovern said pulling from reserves was preferable to taking out loans but expressed concern at the level reserves are getting to. “We are the lowest per person per household in terms of reserves [in Frontenac County],” he said. Thanks to increases in property assessment in the township, the increase in the township tax rate will be 3.5%. In terms of voter impact, the budget will result in $48 more in taxes per $100,000 of assessment for taxpayers, or a $96 increase for the average household. On top of all of the levy items, the township will be carrying out a $3million upgrade to Elizabeth Street in Sharbot Lake, which has been 90% funded by an infrastructure grant from the federal and provincial governments.

Central Frontenac Council - March 10

Oso waste site to become transfer station after closure by Craig Bakay he Oso waste site will continue on as a transfer station when it reaches capacity as a landfill sometime in the next five or so years, Central Frontenac Council decided at its regular meeting Tuesday afternoon at Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake. Public Works Manager Tyson Myers had recommended against the conversion to a transfer station but told Council his plan was based purely on operations and cost. He freely admitted he was leaving any and all political considerations to Council and invited Cambium project manager Stephanie Reeder to answer any questions Council might have. Coun. Victor Heese began the discussion pointing out the cost to set up a transfer station had been listed at $100,000 initially and $40,000 per year after that. Heese calculated that for the vast majority of Central Frontenac residents, a transfer

T

station at Oso would save them five minutes a trip, at best. He did concede that it would somewhat alleviate the obvious inconvenience for Crow Lake area residents but asked “do we want to spend $100,000 plus $40,000 per year to save people five minutes?” Coun. Bill MacDonald said that he didn’t remember setting up the Hinchinbrooke transfer site being near that expensive. Reeder responded that the big costs are in site preparation and bins. “There’s going to be some tree falling necessary and a lot of flattening to make the site sufficient for the transportation involved,” she said. MacDonald asked if there were some way they could mitigate costs — even now — such as reducing hours. “Instead of 30 hours a week, could we reduce it to 15 —

and I want you to know right now I won’t be running in the next election,” MacDonald said. “If you live in the very south end of the Township, you’re looking at a very long drive ahead of you regardless,” said Coun. Brent Cameron. “But I think Bill’s idea would be something people in the south would be very interested in.” Reeder said that regardless of what the Township does, with the Olden site, it still has about 40 years of capacity left. “The Province considers that a lot,” she said. “But that $40,000 per year budget could be changed depending on what you accept at the site. Hinchinbrooke hours could be changed too.” “We could look at fewer hours for Olden as well,” said Dep. Mayor Tom Dewey. “There’s efficiencies to be had in hours,” said Myers. “So, when it closes, it will be a transfer station, whether that happens before that will be to be determined,” said Cameron. Training opportunities? Coun. Bill MacDonald asked Public Works Manager Tyson Myers if there could possibly be some room for members of the public in the safety classes he’s scheduling for his public works crews. “I know there are some small businesses out there that would like to get the training for their people but can’t afford it on their own,” he said. Myers said that he’d put together a list of the courses offered and “look into it.” Money for S.A.L.T Mayor Frances Smith said they decided to keep a $1,000 grant to S.A.L.T. in the budget even though the Seniors and Law Enforcement Together has received a provincial grant. “It’ll be there in case they need it,” Smith said. “It doesn’t really change anything in the budget and we want them to know how much we value them in the community and that they can come to us each year if they need to.”

Re - Indian Act article

O

ut here in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, editions of The Frontenac News arrive a bit later than they do in Sharbot Lake. My eye is on the edition of 20 February. I agree with a lot of what Mr. Hilliar wrote in his article "Ending the Indian Act". What his article lacks, and Jeff Green's critique lacks as well, is perspective. We forget that Indigenous-Settler relations in our part of the world began over 400 years ago. That is an extremely long period of time, for western-style civilization in any event. Champlain arrived at the Isle St. Croix, just around the corner from here, in 1604. Robbie Allen, in his book "His Majesty's Indian Allies", makes the point that the relationship between Indigenous people and Europeans was more or less equal in British North America for over two hundred years.

Continued from page 1 from Lake Associations annually in advance of the budget process, and would also provide feedback to the township as it develops a lake study grant program. Its priority would be to “promote and support growth that meets the community’s needs while maintaining the integrity of our natural environment.” Deputy Mayor Sutherland asked why there was no provision for a secretary for the committee: Carbone said that staff

That, too, is a very long period of time. Many SINCE 1970 historians say that Canada would never have happened without military alliance systems that lasted well into the 1800s. Meaningful links between Indigenous and nonindigenous economies survived the heyday of fur and are slowly gaining strength again all across the country. There have been many failed and hurtful policies since 1867. There are many failing and hurtful policies being promulgated by the federal and provincial governments today. Even the worst of bad policies were rarely, however, and are not today, inspired by bad people. We have to keep trying to get it right. We have a lot of positive experience behind us. When we look back far enough, we have every reason for confidence. Rem Westland

would provide clerical support. Mayor Vandewal said it was important to be clear that this is an advisory committee, to make recommendations to Council for consideration, but it would be subject to the Official Plan, the Planning Act, and other applicable township policies. Strategic Plan Action Items In discussing the final draft of Council’s Strategic Plan’s action items, Mayor Vandewal said that he had heard comments that positioning South Frontenac as a community leader was all the staff’s idea, so that it was important to emphasize that the Strat

Plan is the result of staff-Council collaboration. CAO Carbone agreed: “even when staff initiates an idea, they look to council for support and direction; we do not act unilaterally.” Vandewal said that the staff/Council interrelationship was essential: “If it was all left up to Council, probably nothing much would happen.” Ad Bags Litter Roadsides The problem of plastic-bagged Frontenac This Week advertising bundles littering roadsides led to a lively discussion: while some residents may look forward to these, many of the bags just pile up along streets and roadways. Previous discussions between the Township and the distribution company have led to many promises but no resolution. (Other than the papers along the Mayor’s road

have recently been stuffed into mailboxes.) Staff agreed to try to find a resolution: they will also check with other municipalities to see how they have dealt with the problem. Lakeshore Clearcutting Deputy Mayor Sutherland and Mayor Vandewal distributed photos of a swath of clearcutting on the Sydenham Lake shoreline just outside the village. In spite of clear evidence that all trees and undergrowth have been removed, and much of the brush has been burned on the ice, so far there seems to be nothing in the Township’s regulations that can prevent this. Only when a building or development permit is issued can a site plan with shoreline protection be instituted.

• The next Birthday Bash will be held on Wed, March 18 at 6pm. Since it is only one day after St. Patrick's Day, it will be a green theme. How will folks interpret that! Bring a pot luck dish to share and a toonie for expenses. At the February Bash, Jane and Don celebrated their birthdays. Also, firefighter Mike Leach shared his experiences of teaching a course and fighting fires in Bolivia (the same fires that were raging in Brazil). His passion for helping the Bolivians doing their best to save their villages and forests with few resources was very evident. It was decided to explore ways to help Mike to get needed first aid and fire fighting materials to Bolivia.

New Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) could help open up Frontenac County for development by Jeff Green

I

n a report to the Frontenac County Planning Advisory Committee, the county planning department outlined some of the positive changes in the updated PPS, a document that provides the context for what type of property development gets the go-ahead from municipal planning departments. “It is the opinion of staff that the changes to the PPS, 2020 are positive for rural Eastern Ontario and provide better opportunities for rural economic development,� wrote Jenni Kapusta, community planner with the county, in the report. The Frontenac County department has been advocating for more positive language in the updated document concerning privately owned communal water and sewer services. Sydenham is the only community in Frontenac County with public water, and there are no public sewage systems in the county. Further, there are little or no prospects that any Frontenac community will be able to put in those systems. The new wording in the document provides leeway for privately owned alternatives to be explored. “Where municipal sewage services and municipal water services are not available, planned or feasible, private communal sewage services and private communal water services are the preferred form of servicing for multi-unit/lot development to

support protection of the environment and minimize potential risks to human health and safety,� says the new PPs, which will be active in Ontario as of May 1. Frontenac County Manager of Development Services, Joe Gallivan, has been advocating for this new language in the PPS. The key piece that remains for private communal servicing to be viable, according to Gallivan, is the financial one, because municipalities face the financial liability if the private developers go out of business. “There needs to be some mechanism to shield municipalities from liability without making it too expensive for developers to bring these projects to market,� Gallivan said. Frontenac County is about to submit an application to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities for a grant to support a case study for such a mechanism, using the former Sharbot Lake Public School site as a case study. Another positive change in the PPS, in the view of the planning department, is a simplified process for changing the boundaries of settlement areas. Gallivan also said that, from his reading of the new document, environmental protections are just as strong in this version as they were in the 2014 PPS, which will be stale-dated on April 30. “It does not look like they have weakened the language at all,� he said,

Tatianna Hargreaves and Allison de Groot at the Crossings Pub

Old-time music on the cutting edge

E

review by Jeff Green

is Tom Powers and his band, the Dardanelles. Powers is with the CBC in Toronto now, and has been playing duo gigs with virtuoso fiddler John Showman (Lonesome Ace Stringband, New Country Rehab, Foggy Hogtown Boys and many others) at the Cameron House in that city. The two have performed together at the Crossings Pub in the past. Powers is working on a bluegrass podcast, and in doing so, he came across Tatiana Hargreaves and Winnipegborn Allison de Groot. Hargreaves (fiddle) and de Groot (clawhammer banjo) are young stars in the bluegrass/old-time music tradition, and have performed with some of the major stars of the genre. They are both immersed in the Appalachian musical tradition, which is one of the prime sources for bluegrass, coun.RWTIGČłMSR SJ &TTVSZIČľ Ćł &RRYČ Č› Č“SVO GLIČľYČ›I try and blues music.

ver since Frank and Sandra White started booking shows after they purchased and renovated the Crossing Pub at the Sharbot Lake Country Inn, it has been known as the home away from home for Newfoundland musicians. This first performer in the new space, and this will make for a good trivia question some day, was the legendary songwriter, the late Ron Hynes. Since then the range of musicians has expanded as the Pub has become established as an acoustic music venue on a regional, even provincial, scale. One of the lost boys from Newfoundland who were given a gig, and refuge, by the Whites,

THE FRONTENAC NEWS - International Women’s Week

International Women’s Week

The Power Of Homeopathy

As part of International Women’s Week, March 1-8, The Frontenac News is pleased to present these profiles of some of the Business Women in our community. Their backgrounds are diverse, but they have one thing in common: hard work. We hope that our readers will enjoy these brief glimpses into the lives and careers of our Business Women.

Mary Blackmore, HOM, DCHM (Hons.)

Many people don’t really know what Homeopathy is all about. I can tell you that I am in awe every day at just what Homeopathy can do! That is why I left the corporate world to pursue my passion as a Registered Homeopath. If you can treat an illness with natural substances that have little or no side effects, isn’t that better? Homeopathy gets to the root cause of an illness and treats the individual based on their symptoms so that the illness is not likely to recur. It does not suppress symptoms. Symptoms are the key to arriving at the correct medicine for the situation. For chronic illness, an initial consultation will last 1 - 2 hours. We explore all of your physical symptoms from head to toe and discuss mental and emotional symptoms as well. We do not exclusively focus on your chief complaints. In my practice, all standard Homeopathic medicines are included in the consultation fee. No extra charges. Consultations are by appointment only at the Snow Road Station and Perth offices. I also make house calls!

Call (613) 777-8869 to book your appointment with Mary Visit our website: www.blackmorewellnesshomeopathy.com Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/BlackmoreWellness/

For Our Aging Fourteen years ago, Country View opened because we wanted to offer seniors a better choice. I had lived in the community all my life and started working with seniors when I was 15, following my mother’s lead. After working in both large and small seniors homes, we learned that offering a gentle care policy was the only correct way to look after our aging. This included home cooked meals and baking, showers when it’s good for our clients, back rubs and meals served in bed when required.

We have had many amazing seniors come into our family like home, and choose to stay with us through their final hours. What a wonderful honour. On top of providing retirement care Country View also offers advanced palliative care which we have been told is second to none. At Country View Care we treat our seniors with love and respect.

Rozanne LeonardStewart started working for her father at Leonard’s Fuel’s, and eventually took over the family business that has served Hartington and the surrounding region for 72 years She has had to be proactive to keep the business viable in a changing regulatory and business environment, constantly updating equipment, making sure staff are properly trained and following proper procedures, and changing product lines when necessary, including

the addition of propane in recent years. To bring propane to the local market, Rozanne entered into a partnership with another multigenerational family owned business from nearby Belleville, Rosebush Fuels. From the start, it was a very good working relationship, and last September, Rosebush purchased the fuel side of Leonard’s. Rozanne, who is consulting with Rosebush, is still the owner/operator of Leonard’s Heating and Cooling, the service and installation part of the business, out of the Hartington location. “It certainly has been a change, said Rozanne, “a good one for me personally, and it provides continuity for our customer. “One of my biggest concerns was with my employees, and they have carried on as before under Rosebush. The same level of service is being offered as it has been under the Leonard family name for all these years, with Rosebush handling the gas bar, store and fuel delivery, and Leonard’s repairs and installations.”

Let’s Celebrate Successful Women by Chris Winney For me, International Women’s Day is an annual one-day reminder to celebrate the success of the women I am fortunate to know. My Northbrook real estate business has brought me into contact with talented, hard-working, driven women who are focused on their specific careers. I appreciate the opportunity to network with them; their expertise has helped me & my clients in moments of challenge. When I retired from teaching high school in 2001, I approached my new real estate career with excitement, hard work & nerves of steel; I was starting again from scratch. I am grateful for the opportunities this work has provided: working with my daughter, Chantel, & now partner, Diana Walker; becoming involved in community groups that were working to improve tourism & businesses in the beautiful Land o’ Lakes vacation region; working with women who are focused, kind & generous with their time & talents. May we raise each other up as we make our way in our chosen careers!

So I’ll hold them dear, and close to my heart; the day we meet again, will never be torn apart. Lovingly remembered always, daughter Laura-Lee & son-in-law Mike

FUNERAL SERVICES

reek levels and flows are already elevated due to recent snow melt runoff and rainfall events; the ground remains frozen. The forecasted temperatures and rainfall are expected to cause further water level and flow increases. Water Managers, who operate dams on inland lakes in the region, are passing high flows through water control structures to keep water levels within targets for this time of year. These flows are being managed to mitigate, as much as possible, the impacts from the expected melt and rainfall. As a result, water levels on inland lakes and streams may rise for several days. Cataraqui Conservation is urging caution around all dams (inflow and outflow channels) and fast flowing watercourses. Respect the hazards in these areas by obeying all warning signs, keeping away from booms, buoys, and barriers. Stay well back from the water’s edge above and below dams and hydroelectric stations. Creek banks and lake shorelines may be slippery, increasing the chance of falling in. Also, due to the high flows, ice formation on lakes can be very unsafe. Cataraqui Conservation does not measure ice thickness for advising the public about ice conditions for recreational activities. Ice conditions can vary considerably from one waterbody to the next and within a single waterbody. Widespread flooding is NOT expected at this time. However, localized inundation of low-lying areas is likely. If you witness flooding and/or require assistance your first point of contact is the local municipality. Staff will continue to monitor conditions and forecasts and will update statements as needed. This Watershed Conditions Statement will remain in effect until (or updated before) Thursday, March 19, 2020 at 11:59 PM. For up to date flooding information, please visit our flood forecasting and information page at www.crca.ca/flood. For information on flooding within the Rideau watershed, go to www.rvca.ca/watershed-conditions For information on flooding within the Quite watershed, go to quinteconservation. ca For information on flooding within the Mississippi River watershed, go to Mvc.on.ca

Canada Day in Central Frontenac to become a four-day I festival by Craig Bakay

t wasn’t on the agenda at Central Frontenac Council’s budget meeting last Friday in Sharbot Lake, but Coun. Victor Heese announced the rec committees are getting together to revamp the annual Canada Day celebrations. Essentially, Canada Day itself remains unchanged, with plenty of activities scheduled for Oso Beach in Sharbot Lake with music and the fireworks finale. But, what’s new this year is the annual K & P Trail Day, which had been celebrated in September the past three years, will be moved up to July 4. The two days in between, July 2 and 3, will be designated as “community days” with events and activities culminating in a four-day festival. “We found that the Trail Day wasn’t all that well-attended,”

Heese said. “There were plenty of trail riders but they essentially just want to to ride the trails. Once the lunch was over, that was it. “Plus, July 4 is the American National Holiday and given all our American visitors, we wanted to do something to tie in with and honour them.” While just what will be going on during the two community days is still under development, the regular Wednesday

night acoustic jam at the beach is still a go, moving to Thursday night for just this one week. The jam goes from 6:30 p.m. (or so) and is open to anybody that wants to join in, regardless of musical genre.

Don’t stress the dress L

by Jeff Green

oralie Emslie is a Sydenham resident who works at CFB Kingston. She went to Sydenham High School (SHS) back in the day, and her daughter Gracie is in her graduating year at SHS and is one of the prom organisers That’s how Loralie learned about the costs that are involved in prom these days. “Not only are tickets $90, but for the girls, the cost of a prom dress, which is most often only worn once, is about $400. That’s a lot of money for the girls or their families to come up with. The boys can just rent a tux, but girls don’t have that option,” she said, in a phone interview this week. “We thought we could get the price down.” That’s where the idea for ‘Don’t Stress the Dress’ came from. Just as there are families facing a $400 cost, there are other families with dresses from previous years that are

sitting around taking up space, a constant reminder of their expensive single use. By putting the word out on social media, Loralie has been able to secure donations of dresses from SHS alumnae and others, and has organised an event on April 3. The event will run from 4pm-9pm at The Town Loft (28 Bath Road in Kingston) a venue that is owned by Janet Taite-Springer, another SHS alumnae. Some Kingston retailers have provided door prizes, and shoes and jewellery will be available as well, all for free, at what promises to be a fun event. Donations of dresses, including bridesmaid dresses, in pristine condition, are still being accepted. Email Loralie.Emslie@forces.gc.ca if you have a dress. Loralie is also encouraging students who are attending prom to RSVP for the “Don’t Stress the Dress” event on April 3. The email address for that is SHSprom202@yahoo.

ca. “Apart from the costs that are involved and the potential savings, if a girl finds a perfect dress for free, there is an environmental

concern with all of the resources that go into producing dresses for a single use. It’s part of a greening of the prom initiative that is international in scope,” she said.

by Craig Bakay he much-anticipated Ride Share internet listing from Rural Frontenac Community Services had been scheduled to launch in January. However, a few wrinkles and glitches had to be worked out. “We came very close to launching,” said RFCS transportation programmer Gail Young. “Then we got calls from Lennox & Addington and Lanark Counties asking if they could participate.” She said they were currently in process of making adjustments to include the two other counties as well as Frontenac County. “We’re hoping to be ready before the end of March,” Young said. One of the changes they’re making to the website is showing where rides are

emanating from and where they are going to “show we can share statistics with our Councils,” she said. “We were ready to go but we’re holding off launching until we can make these additions,” she said. “We don’t want to launch with a bunch of glitches.” The program had been called Community Car Pool but will now likely be shortened to just Community Car. The idea is quite simple actually. If you’re looking for a ride to somewhere from somewhere, you put it on the site. If somebody is already going, or willing to take you, the site makes a connection. And vice versa, if you’re going somewhere on a particular day, you can list that and anybody who wants to go with you makes a connection via the web site.

here was a point in the second period of last Friday night’s Peewee Flyers game, which was ultimately won 5-2 over the Shelburne Wolves, that may have summed up the entire season. At that point, the game could have gone either way, as it had been a back-and-forth, end-to-end match thus far. After a goal-mouth scramble and subsequent scrum in the Shelburne end, Flyers Drake Thomas, not the largest man on the squad by any means, was shoved by a Wolf who was a good two heads taller. Thomas, didn’t back down in the slightest bumping the bigger lad right back and staring him down (er, up) to boot. “He’s all heart,” Flyers head coach Al Pixley said of Thomas. “The whole team is.” Shortly after that incident, the Wolves got a little chippy and found themselves down two men. The Flyers didn’t score with the two-man advantage, the aforementioned Thomas notched one just after the second penalty expired, giving the Flyers a lead they would never relinquish.

The first period was an entertaining, evenly matched contest. Braden Dillon opened the scoring with 6:20 left but Shelburne chipped in a rebound with 3 seconds left. Thomas’s score at the 8:30 mark made the score 2-1 and Ryder Mallet made it 3-1 with 3:02 left but the Wolves got one back at 2:57. There were some tense moments in the third but at 10:22, Jack Pixley made it 4-2 Flyers. Pixley then added a power play marker at 3:34 to make the final 5-2. “There were a couple of moments but we really took it to them in the third,” Al Pixley said. The Flyers now travel to Ilderton March 14 and 15 before returning to Frontenac Community Arena for games 3 and 4 March 21 and 22. If necessary, Game 5 would be in Ilderton March 28 and Game 6 in Frontenac March 29. The series will be a rematch of last year’s final, which Frontenac won 3 games to 2. “We’ve played Ilderton a couple of times this year,” Pixley said. “We’ll have our hands full.”
