Teamwork a strength for Sydenham paddlers
L
by Helen Parfitt ast Saturday, SLCC competitive paddlers, Sydney Hausen, Madelaine Wood, Grace Swinton, Clare Swinton of the Sydenham Lake Canoe Club, competed in the Annual Carleton Place Regatta to place fourth in their Girls U15 K4 event. Twins, Mathieu & Nicholas Symons came 1st in their K2 U15 Boys event. Youthful, yet up and coming paddlers Kiera Wilson, Charlotte Wilson, Isaac Merchant, and Parker Friendship stayed afloat and proudly came 8th in their Mixed U11 K4 event. There was no bickering to be heard from any of these boats as they knew that they must work together to succeed. The ten young paddlers, who competed in the event, will have an opportunity to put their team spirit to the test in the final U15 competitive event of the season held on their own home turf. Sydenham will be hosting the Eastern Ontario U15 Championship Regatta on Saturday, August 19th. The Regatta should prove to be an exciting event with over 100 paddlers and their families coming to Sydenham to compete in multiple canoe and kayaking events. Sydenham’s nationally sanc-
tioned regatta course is highly regarded in the paddling community for its fine water quality and line of sight visibility. Since Sydenham didn’t host a regatta last summer, out of town paddlers will have their first opportunity to enjoy the newly restored Point facilities and accessible pathways. Now in its twentieth year, the Sydenham Lake Canoe Sydney Hausen, Madelaine Wood, Grace Swinton, Clare Swinton(left to right) Club is an Winnipeg during the first Camp.

Vandewal also recognized the Lions’ gift of money for benches, KFL&A Health Unit’s new water bottle filling station and the attractive new bike stands designed and welded by SHS students. Neil Allen, chair of the township’s Accessibility Advisory Committee, confirmed that all the improved facilities at the park are fully accessible. Several members of the Sydenham and District Women’s Institute sat in the seats of honour; without the foresight of this group there would be no public access to Sydenham Lake today. In 1947, when the former Mace’s Point and traditional village swimming hole on McCallum’s farm came up for sale, members of the WI and the now long-defunct Sydenham Board of Trade put up money from their own pockets to place an option on the property.

by Craig Bakay he biggest block of North Frontenac Council’s debate time at last Friday’s regular meeting in Ompah centred on the Frontenac News story two weeks ago in which Mayor Ron Higgins discussed his thoughts and plans for community development. The Mayor laid out a futuristic vision that he’s been working on involving aquaculture, hydroponics and electricity generation that certainly would be unique in rural Ontario municipalities if nothing else. But, as sometimes happens, it would appear his Council isn’t entirely onboard with the concept as of yet. “The mayor can do independent research but this was not approved by Council,” said Coun. John Inglis, starting things off. “I’m going through research to see if it is feasible,” Higgins said. “I find that arrogant and disrespectful of everyone on this Council,” said Coun, Vernon Hermer. “You sanctioned me for discussing (Council business) with one resident. “Here you are presenting inaccurate information with the world.” “We told you very carefully we did not approve,” said Coun. Denis Bedard. “I’ve had callers ask me if we’re remaking The Nutty Professor or if we’re on drugs.” “When I see a picture of the Mayor with the chain of office (on a story) it makes it look like we endorse it,” said Coun. Gerry Martin. After some more back and forth discussion, Higgins offered to write a letter to the editor of the paper clarifying his, and Council’s, position. “I will clarify that this was my initiative, not Council’s,” he said.

Editorial
Sharbot Lake slated as a stop on the Shining Waters line Is that fast train really coming round the bend? by Jeff Green
L
ast year then Frontenac County Warden Frances Smith met with representatives from Via Rail who were working on developing a business case for the Shining Waters Railway line, a fast rail that if built, will bring passenger rail from Toronto to Peterborough, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. They met with Smith because Sharbot Lake was one of the proposed locations for a station along the line. Smith did not publicize the meeting at the time, thinking the whole thing was a bit speculative and there would be plenty of time to talk about it if it turned out the be a serious possibility. But when the story came out in the community that contractors working for VIA were walking along the abandoned rail line turned trans Canada Trail between Arden and Sharbot Lake evaluating whether the terrain was suitable for a new rail line to be built, things change. Smith brought a short report to Central Frontenac Council about the idea, which was picked up on by The Frontenac News and other media sources at the time. The idea of a new passenger train traversing Central Frontenac and a station in Sharbot Lake seemed pretty far fetched at the time. After all it has now been generations since Passenger rail in Sharbot Lake. There is Heritage Railway Park, and barely a year earlier the bridge that had enabled trains to pass under Highway 38 had been removed, courtesy of the Province of Ontario. Surely someone at Via or the Federal government would have contacted Ontario before that happened to tell them they were thinking about bring the train back. Also, even if high speed trains were coming to Eastern Ontario (and this has been talked about for 30 years with no action) surely it would end up going through Kingston along the existing rail corridor. Flash forward to June 29th of this year. Two senior Via Rail officials met over lunch in Kingston with Frontenac County Chief Administrative Officer Kelly Pender and the current Warden, Ron Vandewal. They had a map with them, which provided some new information. One major piece of information was that the proposed Shining Waters line (which follows Hwy. 7) seems to now be the preferred option for express passenger train service between Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. The second important piece of information is that the stations are slated for Tweed, Sharbot Lake, and Smiths Falls. In his account of the meeting, Kelly Pender told Frontenac County Council last week that Via was concerned that the existing route (which follows the 401), uses rail lines that are owned by CN rail, and because of the freight business on those lines it is difficult or impossible for Via to be able to
offer the kind of speedy service they need to offer urban travellers between Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. They want to construct a “dedicated line” for passenger and theyn like the Shining Waters Route, partly because it is the most direct connection between Toronto and Ottawa, about 400 km. Indeed, while Via has not said much about their plans, and apparently they are not that happy that the map of the proposed line has been released to the public, they have been clear that they feel they need to create “dedicated line” for passenger rail. In a statement on their website, which features a picture of Via Rail President Yves Desjardin Sicilliano, Via said, “The proposed dedicated track, using a new, more efficient train car fleet, is expected to: relieve congestion, particularly in and out of major urban centres; boost economic development and benefits along the railway corridor; Deliver a safer rail infrastructure and a more sustainable rail transportation system; maximize ridership and revenue potential of passenger routes wheere market demand warrants; reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants that contribute to climate change and smog; create a self-funding project that will significantly reduce government subsidies within the corridor. The dedicated tracks project would also allow the re-design of the current frequencies operating on the shared environment to better meet regional needs for increased service.” As the map shows, there are four stations planned between Toronto and Ottawa, Peterborough, Tweed, Sharbot Lake and Smiths Falls. There are a lot of issues of concern to residents and business in and around Sharbot Lake if this turned out to be a serious proposal, in particular the location of the trail, which passes a few steps from a number of properties on Brewer Road, the Sharbot Lake Family Health Team, the public beach, Maples Restaurant and a number of houses before

crossing Road 38 under a bridge that no longer exists. The upshot that this brings many risks and opportunities to the local community, and there will be winners and losers if it of something like it goes through. Unlike proposed commercial projects put forward by private developers, Via is a rail company. The funding for the project would come from them and the federal government. They may be inclined to inform the local community of their plans, but they do not need local approval to proceed. They answer only to federal regulations. The Central Frontenac Official Plan Zoning Bylaw may prevent a cottage from being built too close Sharbot or Big Clear Lakes, but a railroad would just roll tight over it. If it goes ahead it will certainly be a boon to Smiths Falls, as it will be the location of a line to Brockville, joining the two lines, and passengers going back and forth from Ottawa and communities from Oshawa all the way to Cornwall will have to change trains there. The big questions for Sharbot Lake concern squeezing the train in between two sides of the lake at the causeway and the beach and what that would mean for residents. As well, there is the question of frequency. In his report to Frontenac County Council, Kelly Pender said there is talk of up to 15 trains a day, but that only a portion would likely stop in Sharbot Lake. For residents in Sharbot Lake, that could mean a lot of trains speeding by, perhaps whistling as they go, and a few trains stopping. Unofficially, I have heard that Via may consider an alternate route that does not pass over the causeway at the foot of Sharbot Lake, but there are still likely to be winners and losers in that case, and they will need to cross Road 38 at some point and no one wants a level crossing. The situation is this. If Via chooses Shining Waters they will need to either pass though or near Sharbot Lake one way or another. If this happens, having a station in or very near Sharbot Lake would represent the most significant opportunity for economic development since, well since the train left. If there is not station, there will be no opportunity. This still feels like a long shot to me, but a long shot is more than a pipe dream. The best part - Frontenac 1, Kingston 0

North Frontenac Futuristic Plans SINCE 1970
(Editors note - Mayor Higgins approached me last week asking if the News would consider publishing a piece about his proposals for North Frontenac, which have been a topic of debate in our pages. I said we would. When he submitted the article, he asked that the first two paragrapsh be left in because he had promised his council he would clarify his role as a proponent of these ideas and his role as Mayor. We have left those paragraphs intact but have edited the rest for space considerations. The unedited version is available at Frontenacnews.ca - JG)
O
n July 13’th Craig Bakay of Frontenac News wrote about my plan for trying to resurrect North Frontenac’s economic viability. The article, titled “NF Mayor “two months” away from a futuristic plan for community development” generated a concern by our Council that the article seemed to portray it is endorsed by Council and I am writing this article to provide some clarification and to expand upon my plan. At our June Council meeting I had presented to Council an administration report which presented an innovative concept on how to improve our community well being, to decrease reliance on hard to obtain
government grants and to address ever increasing expenses. Council agreed through resolution that this concept seemed viable and agreed that I should continue researching this and report back to Council within six months to discuss and either agree or disagree to proceed with an implementation plan at that time. To reiterate this is “my plan” at this time and over the next two months I will be speaking to people inside and outside of North Frontenac to gather the information required to decide if this concept is a viable one for North Frontenac. As eluded to in the article printed on July 20’th my intent is to identify a potential “out of the box” solution to address issues our residents continually communicate to the township such as roads, taxation and service delivery as an example. With a limited tax base, ever increasing costs and a high number of provincial regulation changes that puts more stress on municipalities, we have been challenged to keep our taxation at the rate of inflation and try to continue to maintain or improve our level of service. I need to clarify the status of one the proj-
Flood warning issued in the Cataraqui region by Krista Fazackerly (Communications - CRCA) he Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) has issued a Flood Warning for the following lakes today: Buck Lake, Canoe Lake, Charleston Lake*, Devil Lake, ingsford/Desert Lake, Loughborough Lake, Lower Beverley Lake, Singleton Lake, Sydenham Lake, Upper Beverley Lake Charleston Lake may see levels higher than those experienced in May. Connected lakes and watercourses associated with the above list may also be affected. Heavy rain that fell throughout the region on Monday has caused water levels on the above listed lakes to rise very quickly and flooding of low-lying areas may occur or is already occurring in the affected areas. Residents can expect to see high spring type levels and flows for several days as the water works its way through the system. Yesterday, CRCA gauge stations recorded as much as 159 mm of precipitation in the east (Brockville) and a range of 90 -160 mm across its jurisdiction that extends between Brockville and Greater Napanee.

amount of rainfall in such a short period of time has less than a one per cent chance of happening in any given year. Water managers continue to conduct operations to minimize the effects and pass flows down through the system. The CRCA is urging residents to exercise caution outdoors around lakes and streams, and to stay away from deep, fast flowing watercourses, as well as any dams. CRCA staff will continue to monitor conditions and forecasts, and will update statements as needed. The Flood Warning will remain in effect until Wednesday August 2, 2017. Flood Watch: Flooding is possible in specific watercourse or municipalities. Municipalities, emergency services and individual landowners in flood-prone areas should prepare. Flood Warning: Flooding is imminent or already occurring in specific watercourses or municipalities. Municipalities and individuals should take action to deal with flood conditions. This may include road closures and evacuations.

ects that was reported in the paper and that was that I am close to making a deal on the electrical generation. I am actually at the stage of discussing the options, costs and logistics for such a plan. No deals can be discussed with any provider before I gather all the information, present to Council and if approved go through the regulatory process and then see if a deal can be attained. The process set out in the newspaper article provided you with a “potential” plan that I thought would be a great catalyst to ensure success of such a concept. In discussion leading up to where I am today, we have investment lined up from Norway, Ottawa and the United States for three elements of a potential plan. One investment is for green electricity generation (not wind or solar) that would provide immediate benefit for those who contribute –free electricity. The other is for a year round indoor greenhouse aquatic and food production facility(s) which could provide both employment and free food for those who contribute. The other is to build an Earthship residential community that would bring in a younger generation that would en-
sure diversity of our age groups and bring children for our school and new skill sets. Contributionism – the whole plan is based on community volunteers who would make the choice on whether they want to contribute to the program or not. In this concept all residents of North Frontenac will have an opportunity to volunteer three hours a week to help implement and sustain such a program. Conducting the research will be the easy part and the financing of the three key projects is about 90% in place. My challenges are to present a viable plan that will be acceptable by our residents and Council. Once approved there will some regulatory requirements to obtain approval to establish electrical generation and food production. If this plan can be implemented and is successful there is no doubt in my mind that we will increase residents, decrease costs for those who contribute, generate full time jobs, increase school enrolment, revitalize our tourist related industry and provide a sustainable future for future generations.

• I hope that you attended the Arden Artisan’s Garden Party this year. The weather was wonderful and so were the crowds. Flocking to the various studios was just a part of the adventure in the hamlet. Six artisans were also at the community centre, displaying their work and answering any questions which arose. The Blueberry Café was extremely busy and desserts were sold out by 2:15 pm. Folks took the drive from Belleville and Carlton Place to attend as did those from Cloyne and Sharbot Lake. Thanks to everyone who attended , to all of the volunteers who either baked or worked the day and to those who attended with their wonderful hats and open hearts. • Look for the Arden Glee Club in Tweed, at Moira Place today at 2 pm. The Glee Club, travel at their own expense, to many of the local seniors residences to entertain. I’m told that even though there is no charge for their performance, their reward are the smiles from the audience and the toe tapping and clapping. Thanks to those generous folks for their continued efforts to entertain all those who enjoy. • Saturday, July 29 is the date of the Annual Summer Sale for the Arden Seniors. This is the only fundraiser the club does, in order to fulfill their mandate of donating back to the Community. There will be the ever popular bake table, as well as, peameal on a bun in the morning, the lucky prize game, vendors from many areas of Eastern Ontario, a large silent auction, an outside BBQ complete with those delicious fried onions, and yard sale tables for those that enjoy finding those extra special treasures that we all must have. I am told that the Kids from Kennebec Camp will be returning this year and I know everyone will be pleased to see them. The seniors donate many dollars each year to local community groups such as the Land O’Lakes P.S., the Food Bank and the Firefighters, to name just a few. • Please mark August 5 on your calendar cause that is the date of the Annual Pig Roast sponsored by the Arden Legion/Canada 150 Committee. This is an annual, extremely well attended event, with adult ticket prices $15.00 per person and kids under 12, half price. The roast also includes all of the fixings of a regular dinner, plus desserts and beverages. Dinner starts at 5pm at the Branch. • Open Mic will hold their regular monthly jam on August 5, at 5 pm. There still is a pot luck dinner along with dancing for all. Please see posters for more information. • Thank you, Sharon MacDonald, for your wonderful service last Sunday. • This reporter would like to thank Craig Bakay for his article in last week’s pa-

Falling is the principal cause of injury among seniors in Canada today and can result in over 80% of hospital admissions. Falls can sometimes be caused by dizziness due to an abrupt drop in blood pressureg when moving from a sitting to a standing position. Medications can also be a cause and seniors ould have their medications checked by their doctor and pharmacist for side effects of dizziness and sedation. It’s a good idea to have all your medications reviewed periodically. Adding a non-prescription drug to your daily regimen may interact with those prescribed by your doctor. Some classes of medications can contribute to potential falls more than others. Sleeping pills, antidepressants, narcotic pain relievers, muscle relaxants and some antihistamines can cause sedation. If you feel you might be a fall risk, have your medications checked. Having had your medications checked, regular exercise is recommended to keep the body as good a shape as possible. Rising slowly from a lying or sitting position will help minimize dizziness on standing. Reducing the risk of falls is of paramount importance. You want to avoid bone fractures, of which hip fractures are very serious because after a hip fracture only one in three seniors return to normal functioning. Vitamin D has been in the news a lot over the past few years. Seniors should ensure they get at least 1000 IU of vitamin D daily. There is somp evidence that it may reduce the risk of falling by improving muscle strength and balance. Of course, having proper grab bars in bathrooms is essential to ensure safety.

SHANKS, Noel Charles A citizen of the world, but a son of Sharbot Lake, Noel died May 6 in Burlington, Ont., and will be interred Aug. 5 at Oconto Cemetery. Noel was born Christmas Day 1922 to Arthur and Annie Shanks. An RCAF veteran of the Second World War, Noel flew 29 missions as a rear gunner in an RAF Lancaster bomber, including over Normandy on D-Day. He met King George VI and Queen Elizabeth and the then Princess Elizabeth. Upon his return to Canada, Noel met and married the love of his life, Eileen (née McCord), with whom he worked for many years at Air Canada, with postings in Montreal, Florida and Trinidad. Always curious, Noel delighted his many nieces and nephews with tales of growing up at the Lake, fishing, sailing, racing ice boats and even the time he fell through the ice. Noel adored young people, who shared his wide-eyed enthusiasm for the world. He is survived by his sisters Rose Switzer (Kingston) and Adah Crawford (Vancouver) and 16 nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by Eileen, to whom he was married for 60 years, his brothers John, Howard and Robert, and his sister Lois Boles. A graveside service will be held at Oconto Cemetery at 11 a.m., with a reception to follow at the Sharbot Lake community centre. A generous, caring and kind man, Noel is missed by all who knew and loved him. Donations in Noel’s memory may be made to the charity of your choice.

Errors and omissions
In Last week’s edition (Vol. 17, no. 28 – July 20) the article on page 6, Trail Time Junction in Harrowsmith misrepresented some details about the location of the store. The building where the store is located contains 5 units, one of which has been leased since 1991 by Bowes and Cox Real Estate and is staffed by broker/sales representative John Johnston.
July 27, 2017 Also last week, the front page article “Turnout for Lakes and Trails Festival surprises organizers” failed to acknowledge the role played by Frontenac Outfitters, which supplied canoes and kayaks for use by participants in the event. Staff from the Outfitters were on hand throughout the 4 hour event, helping keep the 40 or so paddlers who were out at any one time safe and headed in the correct direction at all times.
Notice of Public Meeting regarding Application for Plan of Condominium Take Notice That a public meeting will be held on Saturday, August 19, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. in the Ompah Community Centre, 10200 Road 509, Ompah, pursuant to section 51 of the Planning Act to consider an application for a Plan of Condominium. Property Description: The property is described as Part of Lots 22 & 23, Concession 1 and Part of Lots 22 & 23, Concession 2, Geographic Township of Clarendon, now in the Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac.

The property also has shoreline frontage on Ardoch Lake of 1,884 metres (1.2 miles). Purpose and Effect of the Proposal: The proposed development, as revised by the applicant subsequent to the formal application and the August 2014 public meeting, consists of a 28 residential unit vacant land condominium including 6 blocks for open space/environmental purposes; and 3 blocks for access roads. The entire area of the subject property is approximately 93.16 hectares, divided as follows: the area covered by the proposed plan of condominium being approximately 49.46 hectares; the area covered by proposed open space/environmental blocks being approximately 38.19 hectares; and the area covered by the private roads with the plan of condominium being approximately 5.51 hectares.

The County of Frontenac is the approval authority for plans of condominium. If you wish to be notified of the decision of the County of Frontenac in respect of the plan of condominium, you must make a written request to: County of Frontenac, Planning and Economic Development Attention: Director of Planning and Economic Development 2069 Battersea Rd.

NeLL culinary skills program Verona’s electronic message
by Craig Bakay ulinary skills for healthy living was the topic of the day as clients, staff, friends and family gathered at the Harrowsmith Free Methodist Church last week. Recently, New Leaf Link (NeLL) received a $7,000 grant for a one-year pilot project to help its community build culinary skills and nutritional awareness using locally produced foods from the Community Foundation of Kingston and Area and the Regina Rosen Food First Fund. NeLL is a not-for-profit charitable organization based in South Frontenac Township that supports continuing education and meaningful occupation of youth and adults with developmental disabilities such as autism, Down syndrome, acquired brain injury and other neurological conditions. Karen Steiner, founding executive director of NeLL said the project is rooted in NeLL’s overall philosophy of ‘eat wisely, move naturally and be socially connected.’ “This program will combine practical skills, such as following a recipe, with broader learning around a theme of introducing plantbased colour into one’s diet throughout the
C
seasons,” Steiner said. “All of our cooking over the year will use this theme to generate recipes and as the basis for decision-making around meals such as grocery shopping or eating in a restaurant.” The program one of two current NeLL initiatives, the other being an arts program, and is offered in partnership with Community Living Kingston and Extend-a-Family Kingston. “We are delighted to have the support of these groups in our initiative,” Steiner said. “Community Living residents will take part in our programming and Extend-a-Family has offered access to it community garden for produce used in the cooking classes.” Steiner is also hoping these partnerships will lead to other joint ventures and programs. “We’d like to see the building of other partnerships that we can grow in together,” she said. “It’s a chance for NeLL participants to socialize, and grow social networks with common interests. “For example, if we have outings — like birdwatching or trips to farmers markets — some of the other groups might join in.”

The idea of going digital started several years ago when the VCA started putting away funds for a new sign, Conway said. The land the sign was on belonged to the Township and there were concerns that it might have negative effects on traffic. “The VCA is very active,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “We hear from them a lot. “But the selling point for us on the sign was that we could use it for messages concerning road work and closures and such. We do a lot of work together with the VCA.” “It’s absolutely amazing what you can do,” said Coun. John McDougall. “We’re so lucky to South Frontenac Mayor Ron Vandewal, Coun.

Arden Artisans annual garden party
by Craig Bakay rden Artisans is Judith Versavel’s paintings and oneof-a-kind jewelry, Joanne Pickett’s pottery and Sarah Hale’s batik art. But for the past couple of years, they’ve added a group show and tea room at the Kennebec Centre. All together, it makes for a rather busy day in Arden with a lot more traffic than your typical Saturday. “It’s a really good day,” said Versavel, whose Gallery on the Bay witnessed a steady stream of visitors through its doors. “This is just a fun day and it’s really crowded down at the community centre.”

BRING THE kIDS...
Versavel is the relative newcomer to the Arden art scene, having been in business for 10 years. Pickett has been operating for 38 years and Hale for 39. This year, Versavel had the rustic furniture of James Hanley line the walk to her studio. “I really like meeting the people,” she said. “And reconnecting with others. “I like telling the stories behind the paintings and work that I’ve done. “It’s a lot of work (getting ready for the day) but it’s something to work towards.” Versavel has an extensive arts background including working for Harrowsmith Magazine and various other stints as art director but this is something she’s always wanted to do. “I’ve always wanted to have my own gallery,” she said. “But the big thing for me is talking to the people.” Pickett agreed that that inclusion of the show at the community centre has been a draw. “It’s a busy day, but it was last year too,” she said. “There are more artists at the hall and the blueberry tea is a big draw as well.” At 1:30 p.m., Pickett still hadn’t had breakfast. “No, I haven’t had breakfast yet,” she said. “But somebody did bring me some blueberry cake from the hall.”

NEWS & PuBLIC NOTICES NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSING Take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac proposes to pass a by-law to stop up, close and transfer ownership of part of a Township-owned road allowance as follows, Location: Part of Lot 3, Concession XVII, District of Bedford, Reason: The subject portion of road allowance runs shore to shore on an island property in Opinicon Lake. The proposed road closing will come before Council for consideration at the regular meeting to be held in the Council Chambers, 4432 George Street, Sydenham, on August 1, 2017 at 7:00 PM. For more details see “News and Public Notices” on our website. ROADSIDE SPRAYING See our website for details on the 2017 Roadside spraying of wild parsnip. Contact the Public Works Department for more information. NOTICE OF PASSING ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT IN THE MATTER of section 34 of the Planning Act, TAKE NOTICE THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac passed By-law 2017-39 on the 11th day of July, 2017. AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or agency may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the By-law by filing with the Clerk of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac not later than the 17th day of August, 2016 (during regular Township business hours), a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the by-law and the reasons for the objection. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE BY-LAW RE: New Provincial Government Policies Regarding Minimum Distance Separation: Following from newly-issued guidelines from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Council passed By-law 2017-39 amending the Comprehensive Zoning By-law to deal with residential development (and other non-agricultural development) on existing vacant lots near agricultural facilities (ie., barns). The new zoning permits development but requires the residence/ building to be located away from the adjacent barn in an attempt to reduce possible nuisance issues resulting from odours from the farm operation - and it requires the owner to enter into a development agreement registered on the property title acknowledging that the farm operates adjacent to the property. The amendment also deals with setbacks for proposed new livestock facilities near rural cemeteries. In reaching its decision on the amendment, Council considered a comment from a member of the public who spoke in support of the by-law to protect the farming community. Council also considered that this is new required legislation from the province. A notice of appeal may not be filed by any unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of such an association or the group. No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law was passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the Council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party. Additional information relating to the Zoning By-law amendment is available for inspection at the Township Municipal Office during normal working hours.

Inverary ace to be a ringer for New York team at fastball tourney in Fargo K
yle Ainsley started out playing soccer in the Storrington League when he was very young but by the team he was 6 or 7 he had taken up baseball in Battersea, and he has never looked back. Hje has been a pitcher since he started. Now 20 and an apprentive carpenter working for Bencze Construction in Inverary, he still finds time to pitch fastball with teams in the Kingston League and with the Port Perry Bulls on weekends. He came to the attention of the New york Merchants of Oswego at a tournament when he was pitching for he Bulls and they have invited him to pitch for them at the North American Fastball Association tournament in Fargo, North Dakota starting on August 9th. He will barely have a chance to settle down when he gets back from that tournament before he leaves for Grand Rapids Michigan for the World Under 21 Fastball tournament with the Port Perry Bulls.

He aversages 10 -13 stikeouts in a 7 inning game, meaning as few as 8 or 9 batters even put the ball in play against him. He is a pretty good hitter and runner, but when he is pitching, which is about half the time his teams play, it is his ability to shut down the opposing offcence that is prized by his team mates. “Fastball takes up a lot of my time in the summers,” he said, “but even in the winter I practive quite a bit indoors,” he said, and he added that pitching in the US will be a big event for him because fastball is popular in the US. “It’s bigger there than it is here, that’s for suren” he said. For Kyle Ainsly, fastball is destined to remain a major past time over the next few years, whether with his own teams or as an invited player on International teams.
