Dock permit clarity, water quality issues and the lake partner program, electricity pricing and the seasonal resident designation, invasive species, engaging younger people in lake associations and quantifying the economic impacts of cottagers in rural Ontario were just a few of the items on the agenda as the Sharbot Lake Property Association held its annual general meeting at St. James Major Saturday. Since this meeting was at the end of a two-year cycle, there were elections for the entire executive. However, despite there being 222 paid members, all of the executive positions were filled by acclamation and one, secretary-treasurer, remains open.
The new executive includes, Ken Waller, president; Guy MacLeod, vice-president; Barbara Fradkin, environmental issues coordinator; Robert Patten, Barb McIssac, members-at-large.
New president Waller said that the organization’s constitution allows for the executive to appoint a member for any executive vacancies.
Fradkin, who remains as environmental issues coordinator, said there have been 16 adult and 10 baby loons in the East Basin; 10 adults and three babies in the West Basin and two adults with two babies in Elbow Lake.
There were anecdotal reports of an increase of algae in the East Basin. Fradkin responded that “I have not seen any algae in the West Basin and there are reports of zebra mussels thinning as well.
