Addington Highlands Wants Lights At Hwy 7/41 Intersection

By Craig Bakay

In response to a rather lengthy chain of correspondence between resident Myles McDonell and various provincial agencies and bureaucrats, Addington Highlands Council decided to get involved in moving along some changes to the intersection of Hwy 7 and 41 in Kaladar at its regular meeting April 4 in Flinton.

In his correspondence, McDonell managed to get a commitment from Steven McInnis, director, design and engineering branch with the Ministry of Transportation for a new traffic study, to be conducted on a weekend, rather than a weekday when traffic is much lighter.

Council, led by Coun. Helen Yanch, felt things had gone on long enough and perhaps it was time for them to get involved in the hopes they might be able to help move things along.

“Anything we can do,” said Yanch. “It’s a nightmare. You can’t even turn right onto Hwy 7 if you get behind a couple of cars who want to go straight through or turn left.

“I know land was purchased some time ago to address this but nothing has been done.”

“There was a working group formed with County staff, myself and some MTO people,” said Reeve Henry Hogg. “I heard there was something in their 20-year plan but it has to be close to 20 years now.

“What they told us is there haven’t been enough serious accidents there to justify the installation of traffic lights.”

“I don’t think there’s been any deaths there but there have been a lot of serious accidents,” said Dep. Reeve Tony Fritsch.

“There has been an ambulance wiped out there,” said Coun. Ken Hook. “I guess that’s not serious enough.”

“I don’t think accidents are the issue here,” said Yanch. “The point is you can’t get onto Hwy 7 on the weekends and especially on a long weekend without traffic lights.

“Anything we could do to move this along would be really nice (and) I think it’s time for Addington Highlands to arrange a meeting with our Member of (Provincial) Parliament.”

“I think this needs more than a letter,” said Hogg. “We need to talk in person.”

Council instructed staff to arrange a meeting with MPP Ric Bresee and/or MTO officials.

Environmental Priority

Dep. Reeve Tony Fritsch’s motion to add “environmental” as a priority in their strategic planning discussions passed but things like EV charging stations (target 2025 or earlier), a community stewardship program, climate change mitigation, adaptation and resilience initiatives weren’t unanimously accepted around the Council table.

“We have a lot on our plate with priorities already,” said Coun. Helen Yanch. “I certainly don’t agree with EV charging stations . . . they should be private enterprise.

“We don’t have any gas stations owned by the Township.”

Yanch was the lone ‘no’ vote on Fritsch’s motion.

No to declaration regarding homo and trans phobia

Council said no to a request from Foundation Emergence to declare May 17 International Day against homophobia and transphobia.

“In the years I’ve been here, we’ve never made a declaration,” said Dep. Reeve Tony Fritsch. “I don’t know if it’s policy or just practice (but) we don’t do that.”

Bridge Street

Council asked staff for a report on Bridge Street and the section of Hwy 28 that

ISA Certified Arborist® passes through Denbigh in response to a request from Stan Platz asking that measures be taken to slow traffic there.

“The highway isn’t our jurisdiction but there may be some things we can do,” said Reeve Henry Hogg. “We need to know what our options are.” lighting Council instructed staff to look into additional lighting for Lloyd Street in Northbrook.

New playground equipment in denbigh?

The properties and recreation committee has recommended applying for a Trillium Grant for the supply and installation of new playground equipment at Heritage Park in Denbigh. And that a play structure for Tracy Park be included if an inspection determines that it is not financially justified to repair the structure.

Busy building department

Chief Building Official David Twiddy reported that “building has been unusually busy this spring, with the value of new home construction for march valued at $2,21 million. Values for new home construction for the year beginning in January is valued at $3.2 million.”

Twiddy said they’ve been preparing an RFQ for the pigeon netting project for the Flinton Arena as well as for the replacement of a portion of shingles at the Northbrook Medical Center. ■

Porcupine? Iguana? Why Not Opossum?

Porcupine, (March 30) Giant Green Iguanas (April 6). They all like to help us in some way. But what about the wonderful opossum? They eat thousands of ticks and other debris. They will not bother humans or pets. They are immune to rabies. How can we get more of them in our part of Ontario? I have never seen one but they are supposed to live in South & Southeastern Ont. as well as Southern Quebec. I would love to have many in our neck of the woods to get rid of ticks.

Sydenham HS Cont. from p1 that is ahead of the curve when it comes to tech skills is an advantage over their peers in other schools. The recent announcement by the Ontario Ministry of Education regarding mandatory tech credits, reinforces how important this type of training is for local youth to excel in a field that continues to require skilled tradespeople.

“By requiring students to take at least one technological education credit in high school, we are opening up doors and creating new pathways to good jobs in STEM stairs to decorate and to hide them a little bit,” said Tammy.

Physician Recruitment

South Frontenac Council did not put money in their 2023 budget for doctor recruitment. Mayor Vandewal stated we were not entirely clear what was being asked of us, by the doctors and we did not discuss it as part of the budget.

I am asking to loosen the purse strings and give them the amount they are waiting for. Other communities are moving forward with recruitment plans.

Frontenac County Council, do you not realise healthcare is the most important service. Bring in the doctors.

The mandatory shop class credit will start with students who enter Grade 9 in 2024. Students will need a Grade 9 or 10 credit in one of the following: communications technology, computer technology, construction technology, green industries, hairstyling and esthetics, health care, hospitality and tourism, manufacturing technology, technological design, or transportation technology. ■ has its traditional opening day, or for Canada Day, is now more likely.

“I'd say that one way or another, we will have it in place by the end of the summer,” she said, “provided the township is on board, and everything goes well from there. Until now, things have gone really well, and people are really behind it, so I'm optimistic.” ■

Bursae

Bursae (singular: bursa) are small, fluid-filled sacs that are found throughout the body, typically located at joints between bones, muscles, and tendons. Bursae act as cushions and reduce friction between these structures during movement, allowing for smooth and pain-free motion. Bursae contain a small amount of synovial fluid, which is a thick, clear fluid that helps to lubricate the joints and reduce friction. When bursae become inflamed due to injury or overuse, it can lead to a condition known as bursitis, which can cause pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. Bursae can be found in many different areas of the body, including the shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and ankles, among others. They are an important part of the body's musculoskeletal system and help to support movement and protect the joints.

Common symptoms of bursitis include pain and swelling in the affected area, stiffness and limited range of motion, and warmth or redness around the joint. Treatment for bursitis typically involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation of the affected area, as well as over-the-counter pain relievers and antiinflammatory medications, physiotherapy, massage therapy and chiropractic treatment to name a few. Preventative measures such as maintaining proper posture, stretching and avoiding repetitive motions can help reduce the risk of developing bursitis.
